Murder inquiry questions parole

BY NICK TOSCANO

‘Failed’ by the system The families of three other women killed by violent parolees will appear at this week’s inquest.

They say they want to keep the heat on the parole system’s “failures” that have come to light since the murder of Jill Meagher at the hands of convicted rapist Adrian Bayley. Outside court on Monday, the mother of murdered Epping woman Rachael Betts said the system was failing too many families. “We’ve reached a point ... where we do need a separate system for serious offenders,” Sandra Betts said.

Stephen Hunter’s parole period finished nine days before he killed Sarah Cafferkey and dumped her body in a wheelie bin at Point Cook. Her mother, Noelle Dickson, is angry the justice system released a convicted killer.

On Monday, Coroner Ian Gray ruled while Ms Dickson couldn’t appear at the inquest, there would be a separate inquest into Ms Cafferkey’s murder.

mood swings and tendency to carry weapons.

But he said patient assessments determined Hawkins, who had a type of adjustment disorder and was being treated for heroin addiction, presented no risk to himself or others.

Dr Singh confirmed Ms Burton’s murder was among several situations that had been peer-reviewed, prompting policy and procedural changes introducted in the ‘‘last couple of months.’’

CATHY JACKSON

VICTORIA’S parole system and assessment procedures at Werribee Mercy Hospital are under the spotlight at an inquest into the murder of a Hoppers Crossing woman.

Jason Hawkins, 37, used a meat cleaver to slash the throat of his girlfriend, Margaret Burton, while he was on parole on June 26, 2009, days after being discharged from Werribee Mercy Hospital’s mental health ward.

Ms Burton staggered out of her Hoppers Crossing house clutching her throat as she tried to call triple-0 on a cordless phone, before bleeding to death on the nature strip.

Hawkins was arrested and charged with murdering Ms Burton, 40, but committed suicide while in custody and never stood trial.

Counsel assisting the inquiry, Simon McGregor, said Ms Burton had been in a relationship with Hawkins since working as his psychologist at a Castlemaine prison, where Hawkins served a sentence for armed robbery.

Shortly after he was released on parole the pair moved in together in Hoppers Crossing.

The inquest heard that at 3.30pm on June 26, 2009, Hawkins took a meat cleaver and killed Ms Burton with two fatal cuts to her neck.

Before being discharged from hospital one week earlier, Hawkins had told psychiatrists his relationship with Ms Burton was “not healthy” and expressed that he was uncomfortable about returning to the house.

Under cross-examination, psychiatrist Ashok Singh, of Werribee Mercy Hospital, revealed there had been concerns about Hawkins’ violent

Low act: Vinnies staff including manager Petros Arvanitis have been devastated by the theft of two safes.

Charity shop thefts deprive needy NEEDY Wyndham residents could find it harder to get help after two charity shops were targeted by thieves.

St Vincent de Paul stores in Hoppers Crossing were broken into between July 15 and 25. Wallmounted safes were stolen from the Heaths Road and Costa Drive stores.

Vinnies area support manager Chris Haswell said the break-ins were a “low” act.

“It is disappointing because we are a not-for-profit organisation,”

he said. “Any money we make is passed on to the local community to support people in need.”

Mr Haswell said Vinnies had noticed an increase in people looking for financial support and food parcels in Wyndham in recent months.

He said money inside the stolen safes would have been used for food and emergency payments.

“People are depending on us to get by. Some of the support we

offer is ongoing for some people.

It is shocking that someone would stoop so low.”

Mr Haswell said volunteers were devastated by the break-ins and wanted thieves to know that charities were not easy targets.

Security has been upgraded at both stores.

Wyndham stands firm on slow-growth commitment WYNDHAM council is standing by its promise to slow down growth, opposing a planning scheme amendment that would have allowed houses to be built in Tarneit’s north.

Councillors last week knocked back a request to adopt the Riverdale precinct structure plan. The plan would have allowed 1107 hectares to be developed between Leakes and

Davis roads and the Werribee River.

The council said the structure plan did not include plans to limit future land releases to areas near existing key roads.

Councillors last month vowed to limit the number of houses built in the municipality to 3000 a year.

The council wants future land releases to be conditional on

infrastructure being delivered and the creation of local jobs.

Councillors have also opposed a development contribution plan for Wyndham North that specified projects required to provide future residents with access to infrastructure.

The plan was rejected because the council felt its allocated share of road costs was inequitable and

inbrief Luxury drive to Laverton

the plan did not include adequate funding.

Cr Glenn Goodfellow said the council’s stance told the state government that it had to provide more funds.

“They have to put their hand in their pocket and start giving back tax dollars to residents by spending on infrastructure,” he said.

An Audi stolen during a test drive in Brighton has been found in Laverton North. The car was stolen from a Nepean Highway dealership about 11am on Saturday. Police found the silver car on Little Boundary Road about 8.40pm on Sunday. A Cowes man, 45, was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, robbery and traffic offences.

Disability rent hike anger grows

BY Nick Toscano

Demand for kindergarten places in Wyndham has eased following the opening of Alamanda Kindergarten in Point Cook. The kindy, which is on the grounds of Alamanda K-9 College, has 61 children enrolled this year but has capacity for 84. Cr Glenn Goodfellow said the kindergarten would provide a smooth transition into prep for children going to the adjoining school.

Rent ‘‘rip-off’’: Tina Polizzi, with son John, is protesting against supported accommodation rent rises.

Cops nab fast cars

CATHY JACKSON

A BACKLASH is building in Wyndham against fee hikes for thousands of people living in supported disability care as protesters prepare to take to the streets.

Werribee resident Tina Polizzi, who has two sons with disabilities, Adam and John, says bumper stickers have been printed with a message to the state government: “Rent rip-off = disability poverty.”

Ms Polizzi’s son, Adam, who lives in Department of Human Services accommodation in Altona North, was among close to 2500 Victorians who received a letter in May saying board and lodging fees would increase by 50 per cent – consuming 75 per cent of the disability support pension and their entire rental assistance.

Left with less than $100 a week, Adam, 29, won’t be able to afford many of the activities he enjoys.

“People on disabilities don’t live extravagant lives,” Ms Polizzi said. ‘‘This increase will have a dramatic impact.”

The Victorian Advocacy League for Individuals with Disability (VALID has launched a petition calling for a reversal of the controversial increases.

Werribee’s Roslyn Fitton, who

Kindy pressure eases

has a son living in supported accommodation at Deer Park, said the rises went against the values the government claimed to uphold.

“The government and all the bureaucrats say people with disabilities have the right to live a life as best they can and have equal rights to everybody else,” she said.

“This is really taking those rights

away from them, isn’t it?’’

Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury said plunging disabled people into poverty was not the intention of the changes.

“Whenever there’s a change in any fee structure people can get a bit jittery, but what we’re trying to do is ensure someone who’s receiving care in Wyndham is receiving the same

level as someone in Hawthorn or Craigieburn,” he said.

He said DHS staff would speak with families to ensure they received the care they needed “without inflicting undue hardship”.

Tarneit Labor MP Tim Pallas hit out at the ‘‘callous fee hikes’’ and urged residents to sign VALID’s petition at his Station Place office.

Two drivers will be without their cars for 30 days after being caught speeding on the Princes Freeway near Williams Landing.

Wyndham police stopped an Altona woman, 28, about 11.20pm last Wednesday after she was detected driving at 162km/h.

A Maidstone man, 24, was stopped after police observed him overtaking the woman. Both will face Sunshine Magistrates Court at a later date.

Water system thievery Wyndham residents are being urged to secure their hot-water services following a spate of thefts across the western suburbs. Residents are advised to fit secure and lockable cages around their units to make them difficult to steal.

West’s volunteer agency needs a lifeline

BY NICK TOSCANO

VOLUNTEER PROFILE Volunteer West refers 641 people each year.

Of these: • 28 per cent are people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities • 21 per cent are jobseekers looking to use volunteering as a pathway to employment • 8 per cent identify as having a disability • 293 volunteers are provided with training and information through workshops

Under pressure: Emma Sharp (left), with Volunteer West volunteer Andrea, says the organisation’s future is cloudy.

How could she drive at all? Driver six times over limit shocks police POLICE say they are “staggered” a Hoppers Crossing woman who blew more than six times the legal limit was able to put the keys in her car’s ignition, let alone drive.

The woman, 52, was caught on Hogans Road at 9.10am on Friday after two other motorists alerted

police to a car being driven erratically.

The motorists told police the woman was driving all over the road and was having difficulty turning corners, before mounting a kerb and stopping.

Police took the woman to hospital where they said an evidentiary breath test showed a reading of .32.

Leading Senior Constable David Cations said he was surprised by the reading given the time of the day and the woman’s age. “In 25 years on the job, that is the highest breath reading I’ve come across,” he said. ‘‘I’m staggered she could put the keys in the ignition, let alone drive the car.”

Senior Constable Cations said while the woman travelled less than one kilometre after police were alerted to her erratic driving, she was a danger to the public.

“No way should this woman have been driving; it was just an accident waiting to happen,” he said.

“Who knows what would have happened if these two drivers hadn’t alerted police to her driving. We are very fortunate no one was injured.”

The woman’s licence was suspended and she will be charged on summons to face court at a later date.

SOCIAL isolation will worsen among Wyndham’s rising number of migrants and unemployed residents unless the state government helps the region’s only volunteer agency, its leaders have warned.

Volunteer West could be forced to close next year if it fails to secure permanent funding.

The Altona-based organisation provides volunteer training, referrals and advocacy across Wyndham, Melton, Maribyrnong, Brimbank, Hobsons Bay and Moonee Valley.

General manager Emma Sharp said the organisation relied on federal funding, but there had been no commitment beyond this financial year.

With a federal election looming and a potential change in government fanning fears that funding could be slashed, Volunteer West has called on the state government to stump up its share and recognise that it relies on the centre for a critical service in the western suburbs where government supports are being outstripped by growth.

“We have among the highest number of jobseekers, particularly refugees and skilled migrants who are trying to find work, and disengaged young people.,’’ Ms Sharp said.

“Volunteering is not just a nice thing that happens in the community, it is actually quite vital, especially for people who are socially isolated.”

Unemployment in Wyndham has increased to 9 per cent, well above the national average of 5.7 per cent, while one in five young people in the western suburbs can’t find a job.

Ms Sharp said volunteering provided pathways to gain employable skills.

She said many migrants wanted to volunteer so they could learn English, while asylum seekers released into the west on bridging visas that prohibit them from working were eager to volunteer to keep their confidence alive and forge community ties.

Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn has called on his parliamentary colleague, Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge, to meet with Volunteer West with a view to support the organisation.

“Volunteer West has quite an impressive program. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a very impressive resource base,” Mr Finn said.

Ms Sharp said Volunteer West, which refers about 50 people a month, was “right now running a bare-bones operation”. “It’s a challenge because the needs of local residents are so high and the population is growing so fast, we can barely keep up.”

Knackery gagged me, says Gatto staffer

BY NICK TOSCANO

SHAWN SMITS

THE head of Mick Gatto’s debt collection service has accused a Laverton knackery of gagging free speech after he was slapped with a restraining order that prevented an animal cruelty protest going ahead.

Gatto Corporate Solutions managing director Anthony Swords appeared in Werribee Magistrates Court last week to fight an interim intervention order that forced organisers to call off a planned rally of up to 300 people outside Laverton Pet Supplies.

Describing himself as a “softy” when it came to protecting racehorses, Mr Swords said the “peaceful protest” had been aimed at drawing attention to the “trauma that horses are suffering there”.

Mr Swords is the founder of We Were Champions, a group that outbids knackeries for former racehorses. He organised the rally after covert footage emerged last year.

It appeared to show brutal treatment and inhumane slaughter of horses

at the Leakes Road knacker’s yard.

Filmed by the Coalition for Protection of Racehorses during Melbourne Cup week, the footage was met with outrage from animal welfare groups and prompted Werribee Open Range Zoo to cancel its meat supply arrangement with the knackery.

The RSPCA investigated the knackery, but said there was insufficient evidence to lay animal cruelty charges. The knackery was issued a formal warning.

Mr Swords, of Point Cook, was visited by Werribee police about 7.30am on June 20 and served with the order hours before the protest was to start. The order prohibited him from attending the property to protest. One of the conditions implied that if anyone else protested, he would be held responsible and would be arrested.

The applicant of the intervention order and a spokeswoman for Laverton Pet Supplies refused to comment. The case will go to a contest mention at Sunshine Magistrates Court on October 25.

Gagged: Debt collector Anthony Swords says he’s a softy when it comes to horses.

BY LAURA LITTLE CLOSE to a third of emergency patients at Werribee Mercy Hospital are waiting more than four hours for treatment.

Latest figures from the National Health Performance Authority reveal that between January and March the hospital treated 69 per cent of emergency department patients within four hours of their arrival.

National benchmarks require hospitals to treat 75 per cent of patients within four hours. By 2015, the benchmark will increase to 90 per cent.

Werribee Mercy, which is classed as a large metropolitan hospital, was the worst-performing Victorian hospital in its group.

Sandringham Hospital treated 79 per cent of emergency patients within the required time, while 70 per cent of patients at Angliss Hospital were treated in a timely manner. The best-performing large metropolitan hospital was

Manly in NSW (84 per cent).

Werribee Mercy was one of six Victorian hospitals which failed to reach the benchmark. Mercy Public Hospitals executive director, Linda Mellors said demand for emergency

services was high but the hospital was working to improve waiting times.

“Improvements include more effective liaison with local GPs, investment in new equipment as well

as improving internal processes.”

Dr Mellors said patient treatment times for the March quarter were up slightly from the same time last year, when 66 per cent of patients were treated within four hours.

Teen to answer burglary charges A TEENAGER has been arrested over almost a dozen aggravated burglaries across Point Cook.

Police allege the Sunshine man, 19, arrested on Friday morning, is responsible for 11 burglaries spanning a 10-day period earlier this month.

He will face Sunshine Magistrates Court at a later date on charges of burglary, aggravated burglary, theft, theft of a motor vehicle and traffic offences.

Wyndham’s Detective Jade Gercovich said residents had been home sleeping during the burglaries, most of which happened overnight.

Police will allege the teen ransacked the houses for mobile phones, TVs, laptop computers and jewellery.

Detective Senior Sergeant Johnston said many of the houses that were broken into had their doors unlocked.

“It’s really an invitation to would-be burglars,” he said. “It’d be really helpful if people would lock up their homes overnight, but not deadlocked so you can still get out in an emergency.”

Dedicated to service Joanne Ryan says her selection as the ALP’s Lalor candidate sends a strong message. Nick Toscano speaks with the 51-year-old high school principal.

What encouraged you to become political?

I’m one of eight and I’m number seven – learning to debate was critical in my existence. And obviously I grew up in Lalor and attended school here, primary and high school, starting at St Andrews and then to MacKillop College, when it was just a couple of portables in a cabbage patch. It was a small country town. There may have been great social divides in terms of families’ income, but we were a strong community together.

What political values resonate most strongly with you?

Fairness, opportunity and responsibility – they’re the big ones for me. It’s the fact that a postcode doesn’t determine anybody’s future,

that we all have a responsibility to ensure everyone in the community gets the opportunity to reach their potential and the opportunity to enjoy the dignity that work brings.

Do you believe the ALP has stayed true to its core values?

I think the Labor party is a broad church of people but the base of everybody I know in the ALP is that drive to ensure fairness and a society that’s true to its responsibility.

‘What happens in a classroom is the quality intervention that makes a difference.’

In terms of the Lalor community and its specific needs, what do you believe the federal government’s main responsibilities are?

The Labor government will ensure that public hospitals have appropriate levels of funding.

future, and I think the last few weeks have seen a Labor Party in that process, taking a look at itself and putting some renewal in place that needs to occur. I support those renewal principals. In terms of my own endorsement as a candidate, it’s a clear signal that grassroots, homegrown politics will be respected by the ALP.

The other celebration is for DisabilityCare Australia, which will do the same thing – it’s a landmark piece of legislation that creates fairness.

You’ve been a teacher and principal for 27 years. What’s driven you to focus your professional and political life on education?

Education is fundamental. What happens in a classroom is the quality intervention that makes a difference in someone’s life. Making sure all classrooms are quality classrooms, that between-school differences are minimised and bringing every school to the highest possible standard are my big ones.

You’re well known for your leadership in the 1998 campaign against CSR’s planned toxic dump in Werribee. What other community roles have you played?

I started volunteering when I was the treasurer of the Werribee Netball Association at the age of 17. I was a player, a coach, an umpire and a volunteer committee member. I’ve spent a lot of times in classrooms and courtside. I’m coaching my under-17s right now – the Hoppers Crossing Eagles, a very proud bunch of girls. My first passion was netball, then I had three sons, so I became a football/cricket/basketball mum. My professional life in education has been all about service.

Do you believe the Labor Party made the right choice in replacing Julia Gillard with Kevin Rudd as prime minister?

Cr Bourke said neighbours could have to put up with “up to 60 cars coming and going, a whole lot of barking dogs and 30 lots of loud music”.

Cr Gautam Gupta said he couldn’t understand why builders thought such developments would be approved.

The council’s decision comes a month after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal overturned its refusal to grant a permit for six townhouses in Hoppers Crossing.

As reported by the Weekly, the council labelled the development “one of the worst proposals” ever submitted and voted unanimously to reject the application.

However, the decision was reversed by VCAT on June 28, with member Rebecca Leshinsky criticising the council’s assessment of the planning application.

AN APPLICATION for a three-storey apartment block in Hoppers Crossing has been knocked back by Wyndham council.

Councillors voted on July 22 to refuse a planning permit for the Tarneit Road development, which would have comprised 30 units.

Council staff had recommended the application be rejected, saying it was an overdevelopment and did not fit in with the character of the neighbourhood. Twenty-one objections were received.

Cr Shane Bourke said the proposed development, near Good News Lutheran School and Bethany Road, would dramatically affect existing residents.

“Just because it is a big block, it doesn’t mean you can develop it,’’ he said. “I’d be horrified to think I would live next door to or behind 30

Mr Crawford will compete in swimming events, including the 150metre backstroke.

Backlash at tipping point

On 23 July I was proud to commend Saltwater Coast for their environmental ������������������������������������ development in Wyndham City to achieve �������������������������������������� �����������������������������������������

BY NICK TOSCANO

THE state government is facing pressure to launch an investigation into the granting of a 2008 permit for construction of the controversial Werribee landfill site.

In a letter to Environment Minister Ryan Smith, Western Metropolitan Greens MP Colleen Hartland said she believed authorities “failed to protect the environment” when granting initial works approval for the Wests Road refuse disposal facility.

It’s the latest development in an escalating community backlash against the council’s push to expand the 26-metre above-ground landfill mound at the site to 45 metres.

The council has confirmed it is preparing an application to the Environment Protection Authority for the expansion.

Ms Hartland said increasing the aboveground height of the mound raised risks of bad odour, dust, leakage and contaminants that could end up in surface and ground water.

“A residential estate is to be built on the south side of the Princes Freeway and another one also in close proximity to the landfill,’’ she said. ‘‘There is no doubt that residential development will build up further around the rubbish mountain site.”

������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������ ��������������������������������������� - Heather

Waste query: The government is being urged to investigate a permit for the Wests Road site.

Ms Hartland said she wanted the government to investigate the original works approval because it was in “direct conflict” with the EPA’s own guidelines, specifically a clause that “mound landfills are to be avoided” due to visual impact and leakage that can seep from the sides.

But EPA spokeswoman Lauren Nowak said the works approval had been “assessed and

subsequently approved against the applicable guidelines for a site of this nature”.

She said guidelines on avoiding “mound landfills” didn’t apply because the Wests Road landfill was not built on flat ground.

“This site, although having a component above the ground, is built within an active quarry site that is 20-30 metres deep and is thus not a mound landfill.”

A call to action Goodstart Hoppers Crossing - Deloraine Drive celebrates its reopening!

supplied

WOMEN, disconnected communities and migrants will be the focus of a new Wyndham council strategy to encourage residents to get active.

As part of a leisure strategy approved by councillors on July 22, the council will spend $1.55 million over five years on leisurerelated events, marketing, capital works and neighbourhood-specific projects for culturally and linguistically diverse communities and to encourage greater participation by women.

The council will expand walking and cycling trails and develop new events, open space and leisure facilities.

Cr Peter Maynard said the strategy would help women, migrants and less fortunate residents access leisure activities.

The latest Victorian Population Health Survey revealed 74 per cent of Wyndham residents don’t participate in incidental physical activity such as walking or cycling to schools, train stations or shopping centres.

Cr Maynard said the strategy would also encourage residents to leave their car at home by promoting walking and cycling.

Now, say ‘cheese’ Dairy technicians from the world’s seventh-largest milk producing country visited Werribee this month to learn some tricks of the trade at the Gilbert Chandler Centre. Industry representatives from China (pictured with instructor Carole Willman, front left), got a taste for different kinds of cheeses at the Sneydes Road factory. While China is increasing its number of cows by one-million each year, its cheese range is still limited to simple cheddars and mozzarella. The centre often hosts international delegations from countries looking to expand their cheese manufacturing. Part of the National Centre for Dairy Education, the centre offers certificate and diploma food science courses to about 70 students a year.

After extensive flood damage in 2011, Goodstart Early Learning Centre has been refurbished and is opening its doors once again to Hoppers Crossing families.

“We are holding a community open day on Friday, August 2, for families to have a sneak peek at the centre before it opens on August 5,” centre director Lisa Seacombe said.

“The centre has been reinvigorated with vibrant indoor and outdoor learning spaces, new play equipment and a parents’ room. Down the track we hope to offer a space for parents’ groups, too.”

Goodstart’s philosophy is to build strong relationships with families in the local community.

“The new centre will help reduce waiting times and better assist the early learning and care needs of families.”

“A government-funded kindergarten program will also run at the centre and all children will receive nutritionally balanced food and cared for by qualified and supportive educators,” Seacombe said.

The open day will kick off at 10am, with the ribbon cutting and VIP speech at noon, followed by a light lunch.

IGHTY HELPFUL

insidestory Permanent underclass status beckons for young people living in outer Melbourne as social infrastructure buckles under immense pressure. Helen Grimaux reports.

Y

where hope is on the outer

Concerned: Youth Projects chairperson Melanie Raymond.

oung people of Melbourne’s rapidly growing northern and western fringes do not live in one of the world’s most “liveable” cities.

These areas are the underbelly of the metropolis for tens of thousands of “youth” caught up in a housing boom driven by the resettlement of the largest refugee and multicultural community after Greater Dandenong.

New residents are moving in on older generations whose blue-collar, working-class profiles are tied to manufacturing and the airport. The older ’burbs of the north and west are now flanked with motorways connecting the city to its gateways, creating corridors that are progressively being in-filled by subdivisions along the Hume, Calder and Western highways.

New estates are signed off every few months, but there’s nowhere near enough money for the social building effort needed to cope with Melbourne’s relentless urban sprawl.

While governments pay families to keep young people at school, there’s not much money if young people fail the system or the system fails them.

The safety net is a patchwork of church-based and not-for-profit agencies, parent-run associations and volunteer networks.

All youth and family organisations and agencies contacted by the Weekly say Peter they are stretched for every dollar. The Langdon May state budget came and went, with the north and west most noted by their absence in announcements on youth funding.

TAFE cuts and recent losses in the manufacturing sector have impacted badly on community pysche, and there seems to be no one leading, no one in charge of planning how to get people out of the economic doldrums or – more importantly – how to get young people into the workforce and continuing to learn.

THE YOUTH WORKER

Youth Projects board chairman Melanie Raymond grew up in Coburg and has worked with young people in Melbourne’s north for more than 25 years.

Raymond points to the latest government figures showing the queues at Broadmeadows Centrelink of unemployed 15 to 24-year-olds are the longest in the state. Last month, more than 3000 people registered for youth allowance and unemployment benefit Newstart.

“Clients are in worse shape than ever before,” Raymond says. “Housing circumstances are precarious – more than half are a risk of homelessness, are couch surfing and living in unstable accommodation.

“They are hungry and struggling to live on Newstart.”

In Broadmeadows, the youth jobless rate has jumped to 16 per cent, about three times higher than the 5.1 per cent Melbourne average.

Raymond is also concerned by new data coming out of the north and Sunbury areas about changing drug use among young people, with a shift away from cannabis-smoking to steroid and methamphetamine use. Any of these mixed with alcohol fuels an angry cocktail.

She wants a northern investment fund to build

physical and social infrastructure and break the cycle of welfare dependence, low skills and lack of social mobility.

“Melbourne’s outer north will become a permanent underclass of people locked out of economic and social life without further investment in the region,” Raymond says.

“Collaborative investment from all levels of government and the private sector are needed to build the skills and future capacity of these northern growth areas.

“In a tough environment, Youth Projects works with young people to make the life-changing turnaround from welfare dependence and poverty into work and training,” Raymond says.

“Many come from backgrounds where no one in their family or extended networks has ever had or kept a job, or finished school.”

Raymond says Youth Projects is always on the lookout for new employers willing to give young people a go, either as short-term workers or as longer-term options.

“Those who do have addressed job vacancies and found reliable local workers,” Raymond says.

THE PSYCHOLOGIST

Young people are psychologist Peter Langdon’s specialty. He has been on call for some of the western suburbs’ more infamous moments, when streets erupted with neighbourhood violence and school yards of young people were impacted.

Too many kids, he finds, are living ‘virtual’ lives.

Face to face skills are diminishing – why talk when you can text? But texting cuts down brain activity – facial expressions, voice nuances and body language are lost. Texting is so quick; talking takes mental effort.

Langdon wants town planners to think about young people as they “renew” our town centres and build new ones.

Town planners, he says, need to leave spaces for young people, and councils need to get out and start talking to young people in less advantaged areas and step into their shoes for a couple of days.

“We could also see graffiti as an artform, as expression, not as vandalism,” he says.

“Graffiti dates back beyond the Roman times; it’s on all the temples.”

What we need to arm young people with, Langdon says, is awareness about experimentation with alcohol and drugs, the personal and physical threat factors, and addictive elements that can trap them in unhappy and often violent relationships.

While community life seemingly lacks connective fibre, Langdon urges young people to reach out when they need help, to walk in the door of Youth Projects, Headspace, Dianella, Lentara, the City Mission or Mission of the Streets and Lanes, to find people of good faith who can open doors and show them other pathways to get through the “youth” years in good shape.

Re: ‘Nightmare’ Hoppers development gets VCAT nod (Weekly, July 24):

Planning in Victoria has become a system that allows developers to build whatever they want, whereever they want. It’s a free-for-all allowing anything, with the support of our state government. We may as well concede that this government is a real estate company. Any other considerations such as downstream costs for infrastructure and living standards are left until after the next election.

While the immigration focus remains on asylum seekers, the masses are entering Australia via our temporary and permanent immigration program, which is ignored by the media and unmentionable.

There simply aren’t the facilities for refugees as there were up to the 1970s. We don’t have affordable jobs or public housing.

Demanding funding will have limited results as Australia, and our state continues to slides into the red.

Re: Fund our plans: Wyndham council poll pitch (Weekly, July 24):

The Growth Areas Alliance should be lobbying for a limit to our growth – and address whatever is

The infrastructure priority is for trucks, supply chains and the demands of big businesses, especially with regards to the east-west link that will cost up to $10 billion.

People in the outer suburbs are crying out for basics, but they’re being treated as second or third priorities. Our governments worship “growth” as a measure of their success, but when it comes to costing they always defer to the whims of big businesses and corporations. With Wyndham’s recent cap on building approvals, at least it’s setting a precedent on growth that other fringe councils, hopefully, will follow.

MYWYNDHAM Werribee Football Club chief executive Mark Penaluna is passionate about more than footy, writes John Hazeldene What drew you to the area?

Road. It’s just around the corner from our house and they always have good pizza and pasta. And Elie and his team have always been good supporters of the club.

CATHY JACKSON

I grew up in Port Melbourne, but once real estate prices skyrocketed in the area and the ‘‘trendies’’ started moving in, I knew it was time to get out. I had friends moving to Hoppers Crossing and the idea of affordable housing with people I knew nearby was pretty appealing. The people in the area were very welcoming, a lot like the Port Melbourne I knew growing up.

Where do you go to buy your threads?

Where’s your favourite secret spot?

What wouldn’t you change?

The Werribee River behind where I work has some great walking paths, though I don’t get to spend much time down there. It’s always good fun to hit a few golf balls down at Werribee Park as well.

Werribee zoo is absolutely fantastic, it’s somewhere everyone should visit. I don’t really get to go there as often as I should, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. The same goes for the Werribee Park Golf Club.

What’s your favourite place to grab a bite to eat or a coffee?

Funniest thing that happened when out and about?

For a coffee there is no better place than Chatterbox Cafe on Watton Street. Sal [the proprietor] makes the best coffee in town, hands down. For dinner I usually go to the DiCaprio Family Restaurant on Derrimut

I remember once seeing one of the members, a certain local doctor . . . he was standing on the boundary when somehow he got his legs tangled with one of the players. Next thing everyone saw was his trousers falling down.

To my wife. I often come home to find she’s bought this or that for me to wear. When I do buy clothes, I’ll usually go to Hizz Menswear at Werribee Plaza.

WYNDHAM

He was on council in 1994 when the state government replaced councillors with commissioners and was returned to council when the commissioners departed in 1997.

Bourke was at the front of many of Wyndham’s biggest battles, including the 1997 campaign to stop a toxic dump being built at Werribee.

There was also the battle to stop One Nation holding a campaign meeting in Werribee and the fight to stop Laverton North from becoming part of Hobsons Bay. These days, he says Wyndham’s biggest challenge is coping with growth. He would like to see governments help tackle infrastructure shortfalls.

“It is the roads. They are dreadful at school time.”

Bourke says he put his hand up all those years ago because he believed he could make a difference.

In 2000, he temporarily retired to spend more time with wife Kerrie and children, Amanda, now 26, and Cameron, 24. He gave life as a councillor another shot in 2005 and was re-elected.

“My life has been the council. Amanda and Cameron have grown up while I have been on council. They have seen dad in the paper and come out of it nicely. I couldn’t have done it without Kerrie and Amanda and Cameron.”

Shane Bourke has helped shape Wyndham, writes Laura Little

Cathy Jackson

A fortunate life

n 1988, about 50,000 people called Wyndham home. Point Cook, Tarneit and Truganina were little more than farmland.

In Wyndham Vale, people were so concerned about the possible impact of nearby quarries on their houses that two members of the residents’ association put their hands up to contest the Werribee council elections.

Their names were Shane Bourke and Peter Maynard.

On August 6, Cr Bourke – an “absolute nobody” at that time – beat the sitting mayor to win a place on council, while Cr Maynard waited another 24 years before being elected.

Twenty-five years on, Bourke is a year into his sixth term on council and has been mayor five times. He was the last mayor of Werribee City and the first mayor of Wyndham City.

“I often think, how have I been so privileged to do it? Why me? How does it happen?,” Bourke says.

“I have met so many people in the community. They rely on me and they have supported me for 25 years.”

Bourke says Wyndham has changed immensely during his time on the council. The city’s population is projected to pass 190,000 residents by the end of the year.

“There were just farms where Point Cook and Tarneit are now,’’ he says. ‘‘Beyond old Wyndham Vale was farmland.”

Take a walk on the south side This established home is a rare opportunity to secure a slice of a sought-after area, writes Mark Bunker

A

young family seeking a stately house in a tightly held street might just be in luck with the inclusion of this south-side property onto the market.

A family-meals hub has large heavyduty floor tiles, while the spacious kitchen has plenty of cupboards and drawers, a Samsung dishwasher, large window beneath a downlight-studded bulkhead and breakfast bar.

Three large bedrooms are at the back – the main room has a walk-in wardrobe and neat en suite and views to the private courtyard.

Two other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and share a bathroom, located off a second hallway which is complete with handy linen closets.

A laundry has convenient accesss to a small deck and clothesline.

Two sets of sliding doors open to a small private courtyard with bird bath and a larger brick paved outdoor entertainment area bordered by yukkas and manicured hedges.

The backyard also has a bin hide and a garden shed.

The double garage has an external door to the front verandah and an internal door to the family-meals hub, as well as drive-through back access allowing additional off-street parking in the largest of the courtyards.

Helping hand: The Williams Landing neighbourhood grants program has assisted community groups and events including the Laverton Festival.

‘Landing’ lands a cash leg-up Developer calls for applications so neighbourhood grants can get groups’ projects beyond the planning stage

L

ocal community groups in need of a financial boost are being encouraged to apply for support through the 2013 Williams Landing neighbourhood grants program.

Grants of up to $2000 are given to selected not-for-profit groups providing services to the area. More than 70 sporting, welfare, cultural and recreational community groups have shared in $80,000 of funding for projects

including assistance for disadvantaged school children, buying art and literacy equipment for community centres, and providing additional support for the Laverton Festival.

The program was created by developer Cedar Woods, which built the Williams Landing community. “We are supporting community groups that enhance the social and environmental wellbeing of Williams Landing and neighbouring suburbs,” Cedar Woods

development director Patrick Archer said.

“It’s the community spirit and efforts of these organisations that make the local area such a great place to live.”

Grants of $500, $1000 or $2000 are available to community groups in Altona, Altona Meadows, Hoppers Crossing, Laverton, Point Cook, Seabrook, Tarneit, Truganina, Werribee and Williams Landing.

Applications close Wednesday, August 21.

A committee of local community leaders will select the successful applicants, who will be announced in October.

To apply for grants, visit the Williams Landing website or call for more details.

History’s page A Joao Canoquena finds freedom in the written word,discovers Laura Little

Michael Copp

Wyndham Vale resident’s passion for trying to understand history has led to him becoming an internationally published author.

Joao Canoquena (pictured), who writes under the alias Don Jamasco, has written a story about the life of a medical student from Angola who leaves his family behind to study in Australia.

The book, which took three years to research and about three months to write, is being published in South Africa.

Canoquena, who came to Australia from Angola in 1993, says The Impudence of Narcissism is based on the Angolan civil war which flared up in the late 1990s.

“In the story, the young student leaves Angola on the eve of the first presidential election since 1995 after getting a scholarship to study medicine in Sydney.

“It is about what happens to his parents during the civil war and the international interests in his country.”

Canoquena says the book is loosely based on the experiences of volunteers in Angola who shared their diaries.

He says their memories helped him understand what life was like during the war.

“I think writing gives me the freedom to create realities,” he says. “I was able to build on their experiences and fill in the blanks.”

The book is available from Amazon.

ADVERTORIAL

Pelican Shores Estate, Leopold An absolute waterfront village on the Bellarine Peninsula situated only 9km from the heart of Geelong is offering possibly the cheapest waterfront homes in Australia!

A secure, friendly and established community for the mature aged, Pelican Shores Estates offers a range of new homes and new home sites close to the waters edge. If you can picture yourself relaxing on the deck of your brand new home enjoying the beau�ful waters of the Bellarine, being the envy of your friends, then Pelican Shores Estate could be the place for you.

Like many baby boomers heading towards re�rement, you maybe at the stage where you are star�ng to consider your future lifestyle. This is a major life decision and a�er considering all the op�ons available, more and more baby boomers are making the move into over 50’s lifestyle villages like Pelican Shores Estate.

There is no limit to the variety of designs and styles of manufactured homes from which to choose. Where established re�rement villages o�en have homes that are already built and the buyer has no real opportunity to customize the design, a Pelican Shores Estate home can be personalized to reflect your individual tastes and needs.

That means you can specify exactly what you want in your home.

Pelican Shores Estate provides something for everyone. For those who like to keep ac�ve the village facili�es include a swimming pool and spa, boa�ng club, outdoor chess set, lawn bowls, community centre, village garden and an ac�ve social commi�ee.

Pelican Shores Estate is a gated, friendly community for the mature age and young at heart. The opportunity to develop new friendships and enjoy an independent lifestyle with the ability to hook up the caravan and hit the open road is an a�rac�ve op�on.

You have peace of mind knowing that your home and your lifestyle are protected by way of a long term site agreement. With no legal costs or council rates to pay, you can rest easy knowing that the cost of living in such a village can be kept to a minimum. You may even be eligible for government assistance.

Come and visit with our friendly staff, soak up the atmosphere of our beau�ful waterfront loca�on; take a stroll along the boardwalk, inspect our new homes and discover how you too can enjoy a waterfront lifestyle. You are guaranteed to fall in love with Pelican Shores Estate.

adding extra vegies to snacks or meals is how you can start a healthier habit and end up feeling great.

healthy together Victoria Start with a small change this winter Eating well and moving more this winter can help you beat the winter blues and end up feeling great.This does not mean drastic changes to your everyday routine; better health is not about fad diets or buying expensive exercise equipment. It starts with taking the first step.

“If you are having fun kicking a ball with friends, or digging in the garden with the kids, you are much more likely to keep doing them. This is especially important in winter, when we are much more likely to spend time indoors and be less active,” Victorian Health Minister David Davis said.

“Small changes can improve the health of all Victorians. If we make these changes part of our everyday routine, they become habit. And small changes, if you keep them up, will make you feel better in the long run,” Mr Davis said.

Start with adding a vegetable to your breakfast. Spread your toast with avocado. Enjoy some grilled tomato and mushroom with your eggs. Add baked beans on toast to your weekly breakfast menu.

Start with making your snack a vegie snack. Carrot sticks, snow peas, broccoli florets, capsicum strips and avocado are a great addition to cheese and crackers. Make some bruschetta with fresh tomato, basil and crusty bread.

Start with a vegie-filled lunch to avoid the mid-afternoon slump.

A sandwich with last night’s leftovers topped with salad is a great way to save money. Or a baked potato with lots of vegie or bean toppings keeps the hunger at bay.

Start with slipping in extra vegies to whatever you are having for dinner. Grate some zucchini and carrots into your pasta sauce, rissoles or meatloaf. Add beans or lentils to curries and casseroles, and serve it with steamed or grilled greens. Mix corn, peas and mushrooms into your pasta bake. Fresh or frozen, it doesn’t matter.

Start with making ‘family time’ active. Instead of going to the movies or watching television, throw a frisbee in the backyard, go for a family bike ride or run around with the kids at the local playground.

Start with going for a walk rather than coffee. Next time you catch up with a friend suggest going for a walk rather than meeting up for coffee.

Start with taking the stairs rather than the lift. Whenever you can, use the stairs. They are great way to get physically active as part of your everyday routine, and they’re everywhere.

This call to put good health at the centre of our everyday lives is part of Healthy Together Victoria – a jointly funded initiative between the state government and Commonwealth Government.

Healthy Together Victoria incorporates policies and strategies to support good health across Victoria, as well as in the 12 Healthy Together Communities of Cardinia Shire, Grampians Goldfields (Ararat, Pyrenees and Central Goldfields shires), Bendigo, Greater Dandenong, Geelong, Hume, Knox, Latrobe, Mildura, Whittlesea, Wodonga and Wyndham.

For more tips and information about taking the first step towards good health, visit healthytogether.vic.gov.au

Start with a more colourful meal.

End up feeling great.

Eating healthier, more often, needs to start somewhere. You could start by adding extra vegies to your pasta, stir-fries or snacks. Frozen or fresh, cooked or raw, it’s healthy eating without the fuss. That’s how good habits begin. Start small and see where it leads.

Bike to the future ... as online youth turn their backs on cars. By Rod Easdown

T

he car industry is becoming most confusing. On one hand brands are trying to differentiate themselves by saying their products are the nicest to drive – from Subaru’s “All 4 the Driver” to BMW’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” – while on the other they are in a headlong rush to be first with what is potentially the most boring car on the planet.

Where’s the fun in cars that drive themselves? Are they likely to dart into fastermoving lanes? They’ll be certain to brake for every amber light and politely let every truckload of bricks in ahead. If you were in charge you’d be there now, enjoying your first coffee. Autonomous cars have many attractions, but none of them will ever be the ultimate driving machine.

The weirdness continues. Car companies aren’t car companies any more. Just as oil companies are now energy companies (BP has rebranded itself from British Petroleum to Beyond Petroleum), car companies are

becoming mobility companies. We’re not just talking hydrogen-powered single-seat runabouts; would you believe hybrid electric mountain bikes? All of this is because the Americans have car companies panicking.

Americans are driving less, buying fewer cars and no longer rushing to get a licence.

Young people are increasingly demonstrating they’d rather get the train and be online than drive and be out of touch. And they think cars are boring – they look the same, they stop, they go and their regulation is absolute.

With the under-20s, car ownership is not the biggie it once was; these days it’s all about cool devices. One US study suggests that the percentage of young drivers in any area is inversely proportional to internet availability.

With socialising now successfully achieved online, the question young folk ask is whether they need to drive at all. Gridlock, tolls, cameras and paying for parking after circling repeatedly to find a spot are hardly attractions.

iPhone app Maybe that’s why young people are organising jobs and social lives around places within biking distance or close to public transport.

There has been a large drop in the number of Americans under 40 getting a licence, while driving by young people decreased by 23 per cent between 2001 and 2009. This is probably why the age group most likely to buy a new car in America is 55-64. At the Mobile World Congress in Spain last year, no less than Ford Motor Company executive chairman Bill Ford suggested car ownership might be getting impractical. He suggested cities in which “pedestrian, bicycle, private car, commercial and public transportation are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety”.

A 1954 Mercedes race car once driven by the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio has set a record for the highest price paid for a car at auction: $32.6 million.

SHAWN SMITS

WHEN confronting the top side on the ladder, a team needs to make its presence felt in the early exchanges.

Werribee failed to establish such a presence and was out-muscled and out-gunned early by PowerhouseSt Kilda in a 4-0 loss in Hockey Victoria men’s Vic League 1 at Presidents Park on Saturday.

“They’re a pretty slick unit and they out-played us early,” Tigers coach Cam Whyatt said. “There were some defensive lapses we had spoken about before the game that crept into the match.

“With Powerhouse, you can not afford to concede penalty corners because they’ve got a Dutch drag flicker,” he said. “We’ve spoken about that at length and actually trained specifically for it. So to concede a couple of quick penalty corners and give up goals from those, it really put us behind the eight ball.”

Whyatt gave his team, trailing 3-0, a good old fashioned “spray” at half-time.

It could have been worse had it not been for the defensive work of Daniel Collins.

Goalkeeper Paul Coker, a fill-in for the absent Michael Alfredini,

might have played himself into the top team permanently after a stellar performance.

“He made some real critical saves,” Whyatt said.

The Tigers came out a more organised side in the second half, creating chances and plugging defensive holes.

Powerhouse-St Kilda would find the back of the net just once after the break.

Whyatt was satisfied with his team’s efforts, largely inspired by the play of Sam Huxtable and Haymish Wawatai, in the final 35 minutes.

“They fought it out, which is the most pleasing aspect,” Whyatt said.

“It’s easy for a team that goes three or four nil down to lie down ... to the boys’ credit, they stuck to their guns and really gave it a crack.”

Yet again the Tigers were not made to pay for their defeat, with all the teams around them on the ladder also losing.

Four points separate fourth to ninth on the ladder, with the Tigers two points out of the top four with a tough trip to Kew coming up on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Laura Baker fired in a hat-trick as Werribee displaced Knox from the women’s Vic League 2 top four with a 4-0 win.

Centurions dispose of Hill challenge

Leading the way: Werribee’s first-year coach, Cam Whyatt.

IT was supposed to be the first real test for undefeated Werribee Centrals in the Geelong and District Netball League A grade.

But the Centurions, 15 wins and counting, dished up a 58-35 shellacking to Bell Post Hill in a top of the table clash that moved them to within a game of the minor premiership.

The Centurions defended stoutly with Brigitte Ardossi and Noni McClure up and in the faces of the Bell Post Hill goalers.

The Centurions also delivered an explosion of productivity on the front line, churning out 58 goals.

Eleanor Tubbs (27) and Mickayla Ward (21) combined for 48 goals, while Rebecca Lally added 10.

Danielle Stewart was outstanding in centre court.

The Centurions can sew up the top ranking in the finals by beating East Geelong at Galvin Park on Saturday.

Coyne drives Devils to win

By Lance Jenkinson

The Devils might as well have stayed on the bus in the first period.

They shot an abysmal two from 17 from the field, but trailed by only five due to their strong defence.

“Thank God we were playing well defensively or we could have been well behind the eight ball,” Klaman said.

The turnaround was swift in the second period, the Devils offence clicking into gear and taking a lead into half-time.

When the game was in the balance in the second half, it was Devils captain Emma Coyne who made the difference with 18 points.

The veteran made big plays down the stretch, including knocking down three three-pointers.

“She made a lot of big plays,” Klaman said. “It was good to see Emma bob up with a good offensive game.

“We really need her to be aggressive offensively because she can do a lot of things that other people can’t.”

Elisha Burnette was outstanding on the boards with 13 points and 13 rebounds, while Lisa Troyahn had 10 and eight.

The Devils had the luxury of resting the ‘‘big three’’ of Coyne, Burnette and Troyahn in Sunday’s 67-53 loss to Southern Peninsula, knowing that they had the minor premiership and finals home-court advantage wrapped up.

They won 18 of 20 games for the season and will face Keilor Thunder in a best-of-three semi-final series starting at the Keilor Basketball Stadium on Saturday night.

In the men’s championship, the Devils season is over.

They finished with a 6-12 record after a 109-88 loss to finals-bound Corio Bay Stingrays at the Werribee Sports and Fitness Centre on Sunday.

Josh Oswald showed his immense talent with 29 points and 10 rebounds.

Flying in: Gijinthi Gijinthi gets airborne for Hoppers Crossing.

Reds draw clear of the drop zone HOPPERS Crossing and Williamstown cancelled each other out in a 0-0 draw in Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 4 west at Grange Reserve on Saturday.

The point moves the Reds to ninth, three points clear of the relegation zone.

Werribee City endured a tough week – it was bundled out of the state knockout cup on penalties after a 3-3 draw with Dandenong

Thunder in a thrilling quarter final, followed by a 1-1 draw with FC Bulleen Lions that did little to increase its promotion chances in the men’s state league 1.

In men’s state league 5 west, Point Cook belted Melbourne Tornado 5-1. Truganina Hornets registered a 3-1 win over Keilor Wolves, courtesy of two goals from Musa Kamara.

WERRIBEE Devils have discovered that the Warrnambool Mermaids are a tough nut to crack on their home court in Big V basketball women’s division 2.

Only 15 days earlier, the Devils crushed a visiting Mermaids team by a whopping 37 points but found them anything but a pushover in the return bout at the Warrnambool Basketball Stadium on Saturday night.

The Devils recorded a 60-53 win, but only after trailing a more competitive Mermaids outfit at quarter time.

Devils coach Lloyd Klaman said that while the scoreboard pressure was on, his side deserved the victory.

“It was a tough game, a long road trip,” he said.

“They had a couple of players in the team they didn’t have when they travelled down to see us.

“We got the win in the end, but I don’t think it was ever too much in doubt – it was close, but we were always confident.”

‘We got the win in the end, but I didn’t think it was ever too much in doubt.’

Last-gasp loss devastates Warriors

By Lance Jenkinson HOPPERS Crossing led last year’s Western Region Football League division 1 premiers Altona Vikings from almost start to finish – but not for the two minutes that counted the most.

The Warriors appeared set for a boilover win but surrendered the lead for the first time deep into time-on of the last quarter of Saturday’s 10-point loss at Grant Reserve. The Warriors were held scoreless in the last term, while the Vikings booted 4.6 to erase a 20-point three-quarter time deficit.

It was a hard loss for the Warriors, their bid for a big scalp scuppered and their finals hopes left in tatters.

“It’s probably the most

demoralising loss I’ve ever had at Hoppers,” Warriors captain Brad Murphy said.

“After the start to the year we’ve had and after everything that’s happened, all the injuries we had... if we’d pulled that win off, it would’ve been one of the great wins of all time for the club.

“To lose it with two minutes left... they hit the lead for the first time in the game, it’s shattering.”

The Warriors left the hosts shellshocked at quarter time with a fast start to lead by 23.

They stood firm against the breeze in the second quarter and extended the margin to 27 by the main break.

Roaming tall Luke Wilson continued his red-hot form, while

‘If we’d kicked one or two of those, we would’ve won the game.’

Jarryd Ramsay and debutant Dillon Viojo were nigh-on-impossible to stop.

Terry Knight (three goals) and Michael Licciardo (two) gave the Vikings’ defence a few headaches.

The Warriors’ dominance continued in the third quarter, but so did their errant kicking for goal.

They returned a woeful 1.5 for the term, keeping the Vikings’ hopes alive.

“I remember vividly, me and Aaron Ramsay on the ground having a chat halfway through the

Jets satisfied to survive Rebel rally

third quarter when someone was lining up for a goal and missed it... we both said these misses are going to cost us and in the end they did,” Murphy said.

“We kicked five points in a row in the third quarter with the wind, and they were crucial misses. If we’d kicked one or two of those, we would’ve won the game.”

The loss leaves the Warriors a game and percentage out of the top five and with fifth-placed St Albans facing the bottom two sides in the last three rounds, finals would seem to be a forlorn hope.

The Warriors can extend their “mathematical chance” another week when they entertain secondlast Albion at Hogans Road Oval on Saturday.

THE Western Jets are breathing a sigh of relief after escaping with a six-point win over North Ballarat Rebels in a TAC Cup game at Eureka Stadium on Sunday.

The Jets were in command at half-time with a 36-point lead and seemingly headed for a percentage booster, but the game took a dramatic twist after the main break.

The Rebels launched an audacious comeback, booting four unanswered goals in a low-scoring game and keeping the Jets to just two behinds for the whole of the second half.

The Jets were thanking their lucky stars after somehow holding on for a victory that keeps them in touch with the top four.

“Without doubt it was a big relief to get the win,” Jets coach Torin Baker said. “I don’t think there was an enormous amount of satisfaction in the way we played, but we are satisfied to get the result.”

The momentum of the game shifted on the back of the midfield battle.

In the first half, Jake Greiser, Connor Menadue, Brett Bewley and James Sicily were dominant for the Jets.

But in the last hour the Rebels started getting first use of the ball, while the Jets had injuries to star players Harrison King (ribs) and Mitch Norton (shoulder) and let a bit of complacency creep in.

Greiser did much of the grunt work in the middle for the Jets to earn bestafield honours.

The Jets will rise and shine early for a trip to face the Oakleigh Chargers at Warrawee Park on Saturday morning.

Falcons cop a Parkside hammering WYNDHAMVALE will undertake a week of soul-searching after an embarrassing 110-point loss to Parkside in Western Region Football League division 2 on Saturday.

The Falcons were considered one of the premiership fancies at the start of the season, but are yet to crack it for a win against the top two of Glenorden and Parkside.

While the Falcons might be sliding, Manor Lakes have kept it a threehorse race by crushing Caroline Springs by 104 points.

The Storm improved to 14-2 in their first season in the competition, winning on the back of a 10-goal haul to full forward Ty Priest, who has 92 goals for the year.

Glenorden’s Damien Yze won the race to the magical century of goals, booting 11 in a 159-point mauling of Albanvale. Yze has kicked 104 goals at an average of 6.5 per game.

Sanctuary Lakes cruised to a 46-point win over Laverton Magpies on the back of an eight goal opening quarter.

Jordon Allan was best on ground for the Sharks with six goals. Danny Hutcheson and William Dinan were the other standouts.

WERRIBEE Centrals were outclassed

by Geelong and District Football League Smiths Holden Cup flag fancy Bell Post Hill at Myers Reserve on Saturday.

The Centurions gave a good account of themselves but did not win a quarter in a 44-point loss.

For the Centurions, Brad McNicol, Phillip Jones and Michael Knight had solid outings, while Nathan Lovell bobbed up for three goals. For all the positives, the Centurions still finished behind and dropped to fourth.

They will square off with thirdplaced East Geelong at Galvin Park on Saturday, a critical ‘‘eight-point’’ game in the race for the double chance.

A Werribee Tigers promotion

The West Wing

Werribee pair selected for AFL combine TWO Werribee players have been invited to the NAB AFL draft combine in October.

Versatile tall Ben Brown and promising midfielder Luke McDonald are among 98 players who will ply their wares at the combine in the hope of being picked up by an AFL club at drafts later in the year.

Brown, recruited from Tasmanian State

League club Glenorchy, has been one of the Tigers’ key contributors this season. He has played 13 senior games, kicked 17 goals – including five against Coburg in round six – and has proven versatile, spending time up forward, in the ruck or even down back. He is mobile and a strong mark.

Luke McDonald is the son of North

Melbourne football chief Donald McDonald and will be taken by the Kangaroos with their first pick as a father-son selection. Donald played 155 games for the Roos.

Luke is rated as one of the top prospects in the draft and has played nine senior matches with the Tigers this season.

—Daniel Paproth

Tigers let another one slip DANIEL PAPROTH For the second week in a row, Werribee fell short of a victory in the Victorian Football League, going down 9.13 (67) to fellow finals hopeful North Ballarat 12.12 (84).

And also for the second week in a row, the Tigers could only blame themselves after three poor quarters.

Travelling to Eureka Stadium to play the Roosters, North Melbourne’s other partially aligned VFL affiliate, the Tigers struggled to convert chances in front of goal.

Both teams had four shots on goal in the opening term, but North Ballarat didn’t miss, taking a 4.0 (24) to 1.3 (9) lead into quarter time.

The Roosters kicked only three and two goals in the second and third terms – hardly

enough to shut out an opponent. But the Tigers could manage only 1.3 in the second and 1.6 in the third, giving them a 29-point three-quarter time deficit.

Werribee finally found momentum and accuracy in the final quarter, and with goals to skipper Rob Castello, Ben Warren (two), 23rd man George Cameron (two) and Levi Greenwood, the Tigers gave themselves a chance.

But the Roosters had answers in Nathan Horbury, Steve Clifton and Bill Driscoll, and they eventually secured a 17-point win.

The loss puts Werribee in a precarious position. Currently sixth with an 8-7 record, the Tigers have a bye this weekend, with their 72-point March 30 win over Port Melbourne counted as part of round 16.

They then host Port before wrapping the

home-and-away season with away games to Northern Blues and Collingwood, eighth and seventh respectively.

Coach Scott West said his side “had some questions to answer” after a spirited final term wasn’t enough.

“We had a poor three quarters and had some energy in the last,” West said. “We’ll have to go back and see what we do at threequarter time and do it at the start of the game.

“It’s insulting to the players themselves and each other that they’re prepared to drag their backsides around for three quarters and then decide to play in the last quarter.

“I’m the coach and I’m part of this but at the end of the day they’re out there working for each other or not.

“We’ve got some questions to answer over the next few weeks.”

LACHLAN BENCE

Pressure: Werribee’s Ben Brown.

Our football club is made up of many different characters that bring all sorts of different skills. In recent years statistics have become a vital part of the game. At Werribee we have had a very close knit team which was pioneered by John and Julie McCarthy, long before my time at the club. They have become the club historians as well and as Life Members and very important people.

SW: So how did you get involved in stats?

J&J: I (John) used to sit on the hill in front of the booth where the coaches boxes are now and watch the game. I got asked, why don’t you do some stats for us? I think we started doing it together in 1996. We used to bring a tape home of the game and do it from that.

SW: What was the original requirements?

J&J: Really basic stuff- kicks, marks, handballs, inside 50’s , tackles, shepherds, frees for and against. Basically whatever the coach wanted.

SW: What was the attraction to doing stats?

J&J: I just loved my footy and then I started to give Donald McDonald a hand at training doing bits and pieces and it grew from there.

SW: Why did you get involved in the history of the club and player details?

J&J: We noticed there didn’t seem to be a lot of history of the club on the walls upstairs, and we thought every club needs that, so we started to look into the history of the club. We went to the State Library and we would get the microfilm and look up one year. Then we’d go to The Age, The Herald and The Sun, all three papers, to try and match up the scores and the players. We have that done now from 1965 to today. We photocopied papers, went to the VFL at the MCG, and went through the Werribee Banner files to put it all together.

SW: What about the coaches in your time. How were they?

J&J: Donald (McDonald) was fantastic. He had a reputation for swearing, so one day we counted. We only told him about it after we won. The actual count was 46. Alistair Clarkson was good for the one year he was here. At the end of games he would grab the stats sheets, and go to every player and talk to them about their stats. Barry Prendergast, he wouldn’t say boo to you. Axe (Simon Atkins) he would come up before the game and say have fun, have a good call, and as soon as the game was finished, he would say thanks for the day. He was a gentleman.

SW: What were your highs and lows ?

J&J: Highs would be doing the State games twice. Low was the 2005 Grand Final. We could only imagine how the players felt. We were devastated. None of us spoke, we just packed up and left, it was a horrible feeling.

SW: You are both Life Members, what did that mean to you?

J&J: It was huge. It was fantastic. It was nice to be recognized.

SW: You both deserve it. Thanks for your contribution to the club.
