Hope: Patrick McGorry believes Wyndham’s free headspace centre will meet a critical need.

Maria Mercuri, director of New View Psychology at Wyndham Private, said the headspace service was a big step for Wyndham, where young people were increasingly seeking help for anxiety and depression.

“The growth corridor in Wyndham is so rapidly growing that it has to be constantly invested in and the state government needs to do more – they really need to match these Commonwealth investments.”

Prime Minister and Lalor MP Julia Gillard said the new centre, one of 70 funded by a $200 million federal government investment, would plug a critical gap in Wyndham.

“I know that one in four young people in our community will experience a mental health issue

of mental health and there’s no stigma for people who come in.”

The Werribee centre will be integrated with services at the Orygen-run headspace centre in Sunshine, strengthening the mental health system in Melbourne’s west.

Professor McGorry said while the state government had recently funded a $34.7 million inpatient mental health unit at Werribee Mercy Hospital, youth mental health was “the most under-resourced part of the system”.

ROHAN THOMSON

FORMER Australian of the Year Patrick McGorry says a new mental health centre in Werribee will be a “ray of hope” against youth suicide rates that are rocking Melbourne’s growth corridors.

Professor McGorry believes the rate of youth suicide in Wyndham could be as high as it is in Cranbourne, Narre Warren and Berwick in Melbourne’s outer southeast, where the community was torn by at least nine deaths in the 12 months to last July.

Although official figures are not publicly available, Professor McGorry believes youth suicides are happening in Wyndham at the same disturbing frequency but are not attracting the same attention.

“There are a lot of the same problems in Wyndham that there are in Casey among young people, like isolation, a lack of [purpose], a lack of jobs or training and the feeling they don’t have a future,” he said.

“For young people in places like Wyndham, the sharp end of these problems is suicide.”

His comments follow Friday’s announcement that Orygen Youth Health will be the lead agency for a headspace centre that will open in Werribee by the end of the year.

Professor McGorry, the director of Orygen, said youth suicide was preventable and the new centre, aimed at people aged 12-25, will save lives.

“Werribee will be a one-stop shop where youth workers may be people’s point of contact, then they get to see youth-friendly GPs, psychologists, alcohol and drug workers, if necessary, and educational and vocational support.

Lalor dodges pay cut fallout

WHEN Alaine Beek began writing a play about the history of one of Werribee’s most famous families, she never imagined it would attract thousands of visitors from around Australia 10 years on.

Mrs Beek (pictured) began writing What Was That?, a play about the Chirnside family that built Werribee Park Mansion, after she was employed as a tour guide at the mansion.

Her background in theatre prompted her to volunteer to write the play after Parks Victoria expressed interest in staging evening shows at the mansion.

“I knew most of the history through being a tour guide,” Mrs Beek said.

“The Chirnside story is interesting and people want to hear about it, but we have included a scary comedy element to the play to make it different from the tours during the day.”

The first performance was held on June 27, 2003. It starred Mrs Beek as Maggie, the family’s maid, and one other actor. Over the years, more characters have been added as the play’s popularity has grown.

The most recent addition to the cast is former The Secret Life of Us actor David Tredinnick, who plays Mr Duncan, the other servant in the house.

“People travel from all over to see the play but I would like more people in Wyndham to know about it,’’ Mrs Beek said. ‘‘Some people don’t know we are here.”

Performances are held every Saturday night.

CUTS to parenting payments won’t cause a backlash in the Prime Minister’s seat of Lalor, according to a leading political analyst, despite figures revealing Lalor has the highest number of single mothers in Australia.

As Wyndham lobby groups increase fierce opposition against the decision to shift thousands of single parents onto lower-paying welfare, Monash University political lecturer Nick Economou predicts the electoral blowback will be absorbed by the fact that the majority of families affected live in safe Labor seats.

From January 1, about 84,000 single parents were moved from parenting payments onto the Newstart Allowance. Each lost between $60 and $110 a week.

Dr Economou said the changes were a betrayal of the government’s political base, but were unlikely to drive a major swing against Prime Minister Julia Gillard at September’s election.

Department of Human Services figures show Ms Gillard’s Lalor electorate, including Wyndham, had 4973 parents on single parenting payments – the highest in the country – before the changes were brought in.

Labor also holds the next two most vulnerable seats, in Sydney and Adelaide, each with more than 4500 on single parent payments.

Dr Economou said the welfare change would not affect the vote in Lalor as much as other problems plaguing the government, such as

party instability. “When you factor in everything else that has gone wrong with the political debate that will affect the result in Lalor, there is going to be a swing of about 4 or 5 per cent anyway.”

Dr Economou said the parent payment policy, designed to move more parents into the workforce, was problematic because it had been partly introduced by the Howard government during a labour market shortage, and “now the economy is going the other way”.

Ms Gillard said the changes were a matter of fairness in bringing single parents who were “grandfathered” under the old rules on to the same rules as everyone else.

“When children are a little bit older, I think it’s a good thing for them to grow up in a household where someone works,’’ she said.

Wyndham Vale mother-of-two Kerry Arch said 60 per cent of single parents affected by the cuts had already been in paid work.

The 42-year-old, who works four days a week, said she had received $100 less a week since January.

“Now I have to look for fulltime work, but I struggle with the pressure I’m under mentally and physically already.

“Parents are losing their homes because they can’t afford their rentals, they’re losing their bond money, and a huge number are living in cars now.”

The United Sole Parents of Australia will hold a rally outside Ms Gillard’s Werribee office on Thursday.

‘We can’t afford to pay the rates’

BY LAURA LITTLE

Lock oval gates to stop burglaries: club WERRIBEE Football Club wants Wyndham council to lock the gates at Avalon Airport Oval after hours to prevent the club from being broken into and vandalised.

The VFL club has been burgled and vandalised 11 times in the past three years, with the most recent break-in on April 26.

In a submission to the council’s draft 2013-14 budget, Tigers chief executive Mark Penaluna said the

council needed to review its gate policy because the break-ins were costing the club.

“This year we have been the victim of vandalism and theft, with the total amount of stolen goods amounting to somewhere near $5000,’’ he said. ‘‘In previous years we have had a club vehicle burnt out, numerous amounts of stolen goods and continual victims of damage – such

as broken locks, graffiti and broken glass. It’s quite disturbing when you put so much back into the community as we do, and as other sporting clubs do, to get robbed.”

The club also asked the council to improve disability access at the oval by installing a lift.

Penaluna urged councillors and staff to visit the oval to assess the club’s needs.

Easy target: Football club boss Mark Penaluna wants the council to lock gates at Werribee’s home ground at night.

WYNDHAM council is again being urged to review its rates strategy, with landholders on the city’s fringe and retirement village residents claiming their rates burden is too high.

Close to 100 retirement village residents packed the council chamber on Monday night to support a submission to the proposed 2013-14 budget calling on the council to create a rates differential for retirement villages.

The council also received submissions from three urban growth zone landowners who want the council to find a way to ease the rates burden.

As reported by the Weekly, landowners in Wyndham’s north received rate rises of up to 700 per cent this financial year after revaluations meant the value of their properties soared.

The council attributed the increase to the land being brought within the urban growth boundary in 2010, meaning it could eventually be sold to developers for a higher price.

In her submission, Mount Cottrell resident Kristie Lazaric urged the council to lower rates before precinct structure plans (PSPs) were approved for the area.

“Once PSPs are approved our rates will go up an extra 50 per cent regardless of valuations. We want the council to work with us to find a solution so we can stay in the area,’’ she said.

“People don’t know what to do.

They can’t afford to pay the rates.”

Speaking on behalf of residents of Point Cook, Rose Grange and Tarneit

Rate review: Noel Cook says Wyndham retirees are getting a raw deal from the council.

Skies retirement villages, Noel Cook said rates guidelines released by the state government earlier this year urged councils to consider differentials for retirement villages.

“People are very angry that the council won’t see the light despite the guidelines,’’ he said. ‘‘Do what the government asked you to do and seriously consider a rebate for retirement villages.”

Mr Cook said Hume, Melton, Frankston and Casey councils had retirement village differentials.

He argued that creating such a differential in Wyndham would not affect other ratepayers.

But in a letter to Mr Cook, corporate services director Steven Lambert said the council would not introduce a differential because it would result in other residents paying higher rates.

The council received eight other submissions, including requests for improved bicycle paths, the duplication of Leakes Road, and kerbing and widening of Rothwell Road in Little River.

It will consider the submissions before adopting the budget on July 1.

$40K claim lands ‘carer’ in strife

BY NICK TOSCANO

Michael Copp

A WERRIBEE woman has pleaded guilty to stealing almost $40,000 from Centrelink by claiming she was a carer for her dead grandmother.

Debra Frith faced Werribee Magistrates Court last Wednesday on two charges of obtaining property by deception after the Department of Human Services discovered her grandmother had died in 2003.

The court heard the 49-year-old had falsely claimed carer’s payments for more than two years.

Due to prior convictions, the Department of Public Prosecutions said a term of imprisonment was “within range”.

Frith will undergo a psychological assessment before magistrate Bernard Fitzgerald decides if she will be jailed when she reappears at Sunshine Magistrates Court in September.

Frith received the carer payment

and carer allowance between July 2004 and August 2006, during which time she had provided “extensive details about the nature of care” in interviews with Centrelink staff.

She was paid a total of $39,914.

She has since repaid $4415.

DPP spokeswoman Kathy Medved said the fraud had been picked up by Centrelink’s data-matching system.

Mr Fitzgerald said the offending was a “very serious matter” under the Commonwealth Criminal Code.

Frith had failed to appear at a court appearance two years ago.

The court heard Frith suffers from depression and other mental health issues. Her lawyers said the offending should be viewed as less serious because she would have been entitled to unemployment benefits.

“What she hasn’t done is face reality and realise she needs to get back into the workforce,” her defence counsel said.

Coastal parks loom large in a wing-win scenario Parks Victoria ranger Bernie McCarrick (pictured) has watched the annual migration of birds to Point Cook for decades.

With many young families also flocking to Wyndham, he says it’s important newcomers understand the significance of the wetlands, coastal parks and unique birdlife so close to their homes. Saltwater Coast’s inaugural winter birdlife event on Saturday will include a tour to highlight the importance of the wetlands and coastal parks for migratory birds.

Mr McCarrick hopes visitors will catch a glimpse of the blue-winged parrot. “Point Cook is part of an internationally protected wetland that hosts thousands of migratory birds each year, so it is vital the community works together to preserve this rare and special environment.” The tour departs from the Point Cook Homestead & Café car park at 9am.

Reverse bus policy, say petitioners

Sisters in court

Scott McNaughton

PETITIONS bearing almost 1200 signatures have been tabled in State Parliament as residents of Laverton, Point Cook and Hoppers Crossing continue pressing the government to reverse controversial changes to the suburban bus network.

Some Point Cook residents have reported that travel times have doubled since the opening of Williams Landing train station, while Laverton residents are having to take buses and trains to get to supermarkets and a medical centre.

Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder announced bus links to the new station in April, including three routes through Point Cook, one from Hoppers Crossing via Wyndham Vale and Truganina and another from Hoppers Crossing via Point Cook. The new routes are running on a 22-minute timetable and replace the 413 and 416 Hoppers Crossing-Laverton buses, which ran at 40-minute intervals.

Representatives from the state’s

public transport authority will attend a public forum at Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club on Monday, where bus users and traders will voice their concerns about the cancellations of routes 413 and 416.

Public Transport Victoria spokeswoman Helen Witton said the bus network had been redrawn to “boost coverage, provide better and more frequent connections with trains, streamline routes and provide services later into the night.”

The number of bus services was increased from 697 to 2120 a week and extended into fast-growing parts of Point Cook and Williams Landing. Ms Witton said while some residents had been forced to alter their travel routes, most commuters had been given better bus services.

Altona Labor MP Jill Hennessy said she had been “inundated” with complaints. “People are concerned about their inability to get to Aircraft, and the Laverton community and traders are worried about the economic impact they are going to face. A young mother who used to be

Laverton chiropractor Dr Justin Portelli said many of his patients, including the elderly and people with mobility problems, were forced

to take lengthy walks to his Aviation Road clinic or pay expensive cab fares. “We’ve had many complaints, especially from elderly clients, because now with the weather they’re having to walk in the rain.”

Monday’s forum is at 7pm.

Two Hoppers Crossing sisters have faced court charged with bashing a man after he asked them to be quiet as they walked past his house.

Werribee Magistrates Court last week heard Karlissa and Dominique Tai were walking through a residential street at 1am on November 17 when the victim asked them to quiet down.

Police said the pair began yelling abuse and threw a glass bottle at him.

The victim fell to the ground and one of the sisters allegedly struck him in the head and other parts of his body.

The victim was admitted to Werribee Mercy Hospital with injuries. Karlissa Tai faces Sunshine Magistrates Court today, while Dominique will reappear at Werribee court next month.

Shake-up boosts aged home care

Man loses car for 30 days Scott McNaughton

AN overhaul of the aged-care sector will benefit more than 15,000 seniors living in Melbourne’s outer west, says Prime Minister and Lalor MP Julia Gillard.

After the long-awaited legislation passed the lower house this month, Ms Gillard said the $3.7 billion package would provide a huge boost to Wyndham aged-care services, which are increasingly under pressure from an ageing population.

She said there would be increased home-care services and a wider range of choices for older residents.

“I know that a lot of older people would prefer to stay in their own home for as long as they can. Our reforms will almost double the number of home-care packages available in our local community over the next five years.”

Ms Gillard said the reforms were part of a 10-year plan to build a more sustainable and nationally consistent aged-care system.

It will provide tens of thousands

of “in-home care packages” to elderly people, essentially providing funds for seniors to be cared for at home as opposed to living in an aged-care facility.

Senator Concetta FierravantiWells, the opposition’s spokeswoman for ageing, criticised the government for rushing through its response to a Productivity Commission report “in the last days of the Gillard government”.

She said the wage rises for residential care workers were unfunded, and the changes would drive up costs for operators.

Werribee resident Ray Cody, 79, can support himself and doesn’t need in-home help, but said he would be grateful for the choice if things got tougher.

“I remember the days that once a person got to 60, they were ancient and they couldn’t live by themselves,” he said.

“I’ve been retired 20 years now and I’m still going all right and doing the things I want to do.’’

Mr Cody said the improvement in

home care packages seemed a “better idea”. “My mother’s 100 and she’s living at home with relatives. I know quite a few like that. Lots of people are happier at home.”

Council on the Ageing Victoria’s chief executive Sue Hendy said the reforms would bring a major restructure of the aged-care system,

marking the “beginning of a commitment to age better”.

“This is the combination of a number of years’ work, and we were very scared the work might disappear with the election process. ‘‘On the whole, it’s great-looking stuff but, as always, the devil is in the detail.”

A St Albans man, 33, will be without his car for 30 days after he was caught driving without a licence.

In land of nod, it’s like mother, like baby

BY NICK TOSCANO

Scott McNaughton

MOTHERS’ histories of sleeping problems and the methods they use to settle their babies may affect how well infants sleep, a study of first-time mothers in Wyndham has found.

Werribee psychologist Jenny Sheehan surveyed 95 mothers with babies aged six to nine months for a Victoria University thesis.

The study found that the mother’s experience of how she was parented could also influence the way she reacted to her child’s unsettled sleep.

High levels of anxiety were found to affect a mother’s perceptions of her baby’s sleep patterns.

Participants completed selfreporting questionnaires to measure levels of depression, anxiety, maternal sleep history, perception of past parenting, maternal cognitions about infant sleep, and settling strategies.

“Sleep concerns are one of the most frequent problems that parents discuss with paediatricians and other allied health professionals,” said Dr Sheehan, who is also the manager of

the non-profit Corazon Centre.

“Struggles at bedtime and night awakening pose serious problems for families and may impact negatively on the mother and her relationship with her infant,” she said.

Dr Sheehan said the findings of her four-year study would add to the body of knowledge about maternal factors affecting infant sleep.

“This is an important and somewhat under-investigated area of inquiry in women’s mental health.

“It is hoped that the findings from this study may contribute to the development of appropriate assessment tools and intervention programs aimed at assisting parents to manage their infant’s sleep.’’

Dr Sheehan said interventions, such as controlled crying programs, were typically aimed at reducing parental involvement at bedtime but paid less attention to the underlying mental factors that contributed to the causes of infant sleep problems.

She said recognition of issues related to sleep patterns would add an extra dimension to these programs.

A TEAM of Wyndham police officers is making a dent in the number of thefts from motor vehicles in the city.

The crime impact team, set up last year to tackle theft of and from motor vehicles, recently charged a man over breaking into vehicles around the municipality.

The 24-year-old Wyndham Vale man is accused of 29 offences between May and June, including theft from a motor vehicle, obtaining property by deception, handling stolen goods and driving while disqualified.

He was arrested on June 6 and bailed to appear at Werribee Magistrates Court on September 4.

Sergeant Ben Jarman said the crime impact team was working hard to reduce thefts of and from motor vehicles. But he said motorists also had to take measures to stop opportunistic thieves.

‘Don’t leave your car unlocked ... and remove all valuables from sight.’

“This includes parking off-street, possibly in a garage or, if you have to park on the street, park in well-lit areas.

“Don’t leave your car unlocked, make sure the windows are closed, and remove all valuables from sight.”

Adam Bull tells Robert Fedele about his journey from the back streets of Laverton to international acclaim.

12 WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE \ June 19, 2013

n a rare moment of downtime, principal artist Adam Bull kindly obliges to a request for a brief tour of the Australian Ballet’s Southbank headquarters.

Cheerful and polite, Bull plays the role of gracious host perfectly, zigzagging his way through hallways as though he is proudly showing someone around his family home.

At 194 centimetres and with curly blonde locks, he commands attention even when not performing.

Today he’s dressed down in grey tracksuit pants and a white singlet, barefoot but for black socks so his precious feet can take a well earned breather.

It’s not long before Bull is momentarily stopped in his tracks. ‘‘Good to see you back,’’ whispers a woman passing by, her face flushed with admiration.

Bull later unmasks his admirer as Ann Jenner, now a teacher with the ballet company but once a principal ballerina with London’s Royal Ballet and a star of yesteryear.

He goes on to explain how he has just returned home after performing the Sydney leg of the company’s latest ballet, Vanguard.

The passing pleasantries continue and it quickly becomes evident that Bull is somewhat of a big deal around here.

The excursion resumes, passing several identical studio spaces before we stop, peering through a rectangular window at the door numbered six.

Inside is a cluster of teenage boys wearing blue leotards, their taut bodies twisting in unison to the delicate sounds of a piano which is heard but not seen.

For Bull, the picture is like looking through a crystal ball transporting him back to his childhood. ‘‘It doesn’t feel that long ago that I was down there as a student,’’ he beams. ‘‘It’s surreal sometimes to take a look back at where you’ve come from. It’s a big journey.’’

He’s often dubbed Australia’s version of Billy Elliot due to his working-class roots.

Bull’s story begins in the late 1980s when he was a little tacker at Laverton Primary School.

His grade 1 teacher, Janine Kip, the woman he counts as his inspiration, pushed him into ballet.

Back then neither Bull, nor his family, knew anything of ballet and he jokes that Kip presumably must have seen him jumping around the staff room. ‘‘She saw something in me and encouraged my family to take me to dance lessons. I don’t know what it was that she saw.’’

Kip remembers Bull as a happy-go-lucky kid who would dance on the playground asphalt and turn heads. ‘‘He was out there in the elements with an extension cord and the school’s PA system and he did Michael Jackson’s Man in the Mirror with his little chair and sparkly top.’’

Bull would soon take to ballet like a duck to water at Brian Nolan Academy of Dance, studying under the former Australian Ballet member at his Werribee studio.

He remembers his old stomping ground being wedged between a mechanic’s workshop and a karate school.

Nolan he recalls as strict but fair, a teacher from the school of hard knocks. ‘‘He was hard. He was a really tough teacher for a little suburban ballet school. But he taught me a lot and got me to a level where I thought, wow, I can do this’.’’

Nolan makes no apologies for his methods and reckons a bit of tough love gets the best out of his pupils.

When Bull, a skinny, gawky kid, walked in the door Nolan immediately knew he had something special to work with.

Bull took to it ‘‘possessed’’, he says, and had a unique demeanour, carrying himself with elegance and pride. ‘‘I knew from his very first class at seven years old that he was going to be good. By the following year I remember boasting to teachers at ballet competitions that he was potentially that good that he would be a principal with the Australian Ballet one day. The teachers laughed at me, but I knew what I was talking about.’’

Still, even the naturals need prodding.

Nolan spent 11 years with Bull, honing his craft for a distant tomorrow, right up until he waved goodbye and set off for the Australian Ballet at age 17.

Nolan counts himself lucky to have taught Bull then Valerie Tereshchenko, also with the Australian Ballet, and now Milei Lee, an eightyear-old prodigy he believes will outshine them all. ‘‘It is said that we only get one extraordinary student in our lifetime and I thought after Adam there would not be any more but I was fortunate,’’ Nolan says. ‘‘They all have that special thing about them that one can’t describe and put into words that

is envied by all around them.’’

Bull leapt across to the Australian Ballet in his teens and has remained a staple of the company, which is held in high regard worldwide.

The tight-knit group of 70-odd dancers performs about 180 shows a year.

In 2008, Bull was promoted to the highest ballet rank in the country, becoming a principal artist with the Australian Ballet.

Even now, five years on, he’s still both chuffed and humbled by the title. ‘‘You never rest and go ‘yeah I’ve made it!’.

Where I am now, people go, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a principal of the Australian ballet’. But I don’t sit back and say I’ve done all the hard work. Every day it gets harder and harder.’’

True to his word, Bull’s schedule seems like the very definition of hard work.

It is mid-morning and he’s already taking a break from pilates and stretching in the upstairs gym.

There’s a ballet class from 10.30am to noon, rehearsals from noon to 2.30pm, then lunch and more rehearsals until well into the evening.

This routine takes place six days a week and intensifies even further during a performance’s season – not that dancers always have the luxury of concentrating on one performance at a time.

Right now Bull is rolling out Vanguard while also preparing for Swan Lake just around the corner.

Is it worth it? ‘‘It’s too much work for it not to be,’’ Bull retorts. ‘‘If you didn’t love it you couldn’t put your body through what we do.’’

With the company, he has travelled overseas regularly, performing in Paris, London, Tokyo, and a week in New York last year when the company performed Swan Lake.

Bull is reluctant to pluck out a highlight from life on the road but says the New York show stands out. ‘’My mum had never seen me dance overseas before. She came over and saw me. It was really emotional. The audience response, as soon as the curtains went down, they all went crazy.’’

Asked about the feeling on stage, Bull says each performance produces a different vibe. ‘‘I still get nervous. Twenty years later, before every show, I still get butterflies. There’s always doubts in your head. But once you hit the stage you just lose yourself. ‘‘Sometimes you’re on a high and loving it.

Sometimes you’re sore and injured, but you still have to go out and deliver to 3000 people.’’

Bull concedes ballet is a cut-throat world but says for the most part dancers are supportive of each other, even though there is always someone who can step into your shoes. ‘‘The pressure comes more from within yourself. You’re always so hard on yourself.

You come off stage and you can always do better. You’re never happy. ‘‘Even though they’re all beautiful people [fellow dancers], there is a silent competitiveness. We’re all pushing for the same roles. So there’s all these things behind your shoulder but not in an evil, scary way.’’

For Bull, it is time, not other dancers, with whom he must compete.

At 31 he is nearer to the end of his performing career than the beginning, the wear and tear on his body making its presence felt.

‘‘We’re so reliant on our body and being able to be in peak form. And, just like that, anything can go,” he says. ‘‘It’s always in the back of my head. If I have another five years – great. If I have 10, that would be ridiculously good. I take every day as it is and hope it’s not my last.’’

Pressed about the future, Bull reckons coaching at the Australian Ballet wouldn’t be such a bad gig. ‘‘I push it out of my head sometimes, but I do have to think about it. You have made such a commitment at such a young age. It’s all I know. It’s quite scary. ‘‘Just to pass on what I’ve been taught would be a great gift.’’

Outside of ballet, Bull is a travel and adventure junkie.

He’s already visited the Antarctic, and the Galapagos Islands are next on the horizon.

Who knows where life will take him next.

What is certain is that the boy from workingclass Laverton grew up to be a star, as many had predicted.

But at home he’s just the same old Adam. ‘‘I’m going to mum and dad’s tonight,’’ he smiles. ‘‘I haven’t seen them since I’ve been back.

Mum and dad always put on a spread. She asked last night, ‘What do you want for tea?’

I said, ‘I don’t care, mum. Whatever you’re making is fine’.’’

YOURVOICE So go figure. The number of people now getting handouts outnumbers the people paying for the handouts. Further to this, we now have a situation where people who genuinely require handouts are being compromised by those who don’t – and that situation is getting worse by the month. It has to stop.

Bill Hutton, Werribee South

Handout mania

The people who are getting handouts don’t like the people who are paying for the handouts, because the people who are paying for the handouts can no longer afford to pay for both the handouts and their own needs.

The people who are paying for the handouts want the handouts to stop, and the people who are getting the handouts want even more handouts on top of the handouts they are already getting.

Now, the people who are forcing people to pay for the handouts have been told by the people who are receiving the handouts, that the people who are paying for the handouts are being mean and prejudiced.

So the people who are getting the handouts have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the handouts by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their handouts, and giving them the handouts in the first place.

We have let the handouts go on for so long that there are now more

Prison nurses stop work as pay talks break down ‘Working in a prison medical clinic is an extremely challenging job.’ offering a rise of 15.4 per cent over four years.

ANF state secretary Lisa Fitzpatrick said entitlements for prison nurses were below those offered to other Victorian nurses.

“The non-payment of annual leave loading and long service leave entitlements of eight weeks at 10 years means their entitlements are significantly lower than nurses in the public or private health system,” she said.

“Working in a prison medical clinic is an extremely challenging job and GEO Care Australia will be unable to maintain a stable nursing workforce if it continues to offer its nurses entitlements way below health industry standards.”

Wyndham has a long term policy of funding indoor and outdoor sporting grounds in Wyndham and these facilities support soccer, Aussie rules, cricket, netball, basketball, tennis as well as tai chi, table tennis, motor cross and volleyball.

One of the more popular programs to benefit has been Auskick, which has proved to be very popular with boys and girls from 5 to 8.

It is with a sense of satisfaction that Wyndham City has been able to provide these sports facilities which, when combined with our wonderful volunteers, have provided opportunities for young people in our community to participate in a wide range of sporting activities.

NURSES at two north-west prisons will stage stop-work meetings on Tuesday in the hope of securing better pay and working conditions.

The nurses from the metropolitan remand and Dame Phyllis Frost centres will be joined by colleagues from clinics at eight other Victorian prisons after enterprise bargaining negotiations between the Australian Nursing Federation and GEO Care Australia, the company that manages the prisons’ medical centres, broke down.

About 60 nurses will hold twohour stop-work meetings and implement bans on administrative duties.

The union said a stalemate had been reached after 18 months of negotiations, with GEO Care unwilling to back-date a pay rise of 2.5 per cent to July 2012, after the current agreement expired.

Nurses last received a pay rise in July 2011.

From terror to a life without fear This refugee is helping others overcome hurdles, writes Nick Toscano

the city’s growing Karen community. She guides them through forms, bills and language barriers, helping them overcome the hurdles of resettlement she knows so well.

“When I came here, my English was not that good. I struggled with a lot of things.”

Supported by City West Water and Wyndham council, WCEC will host a Refugee Week celebration this Thursday at Werribee Baptist Church in Hoppers Crossing. More than 300 people are expected to attend.

“Refugee Week is to remember the refugees who are still struggling and facing persecution and hard times,” Say Htoo says.

The theme is “restoring hope”.

A Refugee Council of Australia spokesman says while a refugee’s journey begins with danger, it includes hope. “Refugees flee their homelands not only because they fear persecution, but also because they have hope.

They hope to find freedom from persecution, and safety and security for themselves and their families; they hope to be given a chance to start a new life and recover from past trauma.”

Scott McNaughton

hen Say Htoo Eh Moero was a girl, summer days were spent hiding in a bunker as bombs blasted her village in the Thai-Burma border guerrilla zone.

She’ll never forget the years she spent hiding from police as a teenager, huddling with her family of five in a musty single-room apartment in Bangkok after fleeing the rubble that was left of their village.

On September 25, 1999 Say Htoo arrived in Australia as a refugee. “I was no longer illegal and I became a human being,” she says.

“I don’t have to worry any more. Australia gives me hope as well as security and a life without fear.”

The 35-year-old has since learned English, studied at TAFE, become an Australian citizen, and is married with two children. The settlement worker at Wyndham Community and Education Centre [WCEC] has also been appointed as a Refugee Week ambassador for 2013.

Advice ignored, west the loser

BY BENJAMIN MILLAR

Michael Copp

THE state government is under growing pressure to reveal why it ignored expert advice to begin building the proposed east-west road link in the west.

A report released under freedom of information reveals the Linking Melbourne Authority pushed in 2011 for a new freeway link between West Footscray and the Port of Melbourne as a priority over linking the Eastern and Tullamarine freeways.

However, the government has pushed on with the $6 billion to $8 billion eastern link despite mounting pressure on infrastructure in the western suburbs.

Monitoring has shown the West Gate Bridge is carrying more than 160,000 vehicles daily.

Greens MP Greg Barber moved a motion in State Parliament opposing

the link, arguing it would worsen traffic congestion, air pollution and pedestrian and cyclist safety levels.

He said the “misconceived” project would fail to deliver claimed benefits and the money would be better spent on public transport.

Opposition planning spokesman Brian Tee said projections of West Gate Bridge traffic reaching 235,000 vehicles a day by 2031 threatened the state’s economy.

“On the one hand [Roads Minister Terry Mulder] says we have to prioritise a second river crossing and we have to make sure that there is an alternative to the West Gate Bridge, but the government puts all its money and its policy position into a project that will not deliver a second river crossing,” he said.

The opposition is calling on the government to release a business case for the project.

Chris Byrne nominated for top award When Chris Byrne began his career at Werribee Mazda as an 18 year old in 1983, under the mentorship of his uncle, Colin Johnstone, he didn’t foresee his nomination as Business Person of the Year in this year’s Wyndham Business Awards.

But he put in the hard yards, working his way through various departments within the dealership and setting himself up for the success that has now led to his nomination.

It was while working alongside his uncle that he learned the right way to run a business so when opportunity knocked he was ready to respond. He became an integral cog in the resurrected Ford dealership in Hoppers Crossing and, in 1994, Westpoint Ford opened its doors.

Chris is working hard to put the Wyndham area on the map as an exciting, positive shopping destination easily accessible to metropolitan Melbourne customers who can be in Werribee in 20 minutes via the Westgate bridge.

Under Chris’s leadership, the business has not only survived an economically challenging climate for the past year but has actually expanded.

Chris believes this is testimony to the strength of his team and his personal forte of surrounding himself with positive, like-minded people and business partners who, together, set the stage for real success.

But as principal dealer at Westpoint Ford, he also has a strong commitment to his local community which he says has seen an amazing transformation over the past 30 years. The dealership provides charitable sponsorships and fundraising, a consistent focus during his 19-year tenure, along with his involvement in several committees and business work groups.

Move into the comfort zone Life is meant to be easy at this refined Metricon residence, writes Mark Bunker

T

he scene is set for a family to move in and relax (and not have anything to do inside and outside) at this refined Metricon property. Its resort-inspired assets, open living areas and 6x12-metre shed/four car garage (beyond the drive-through double garage) make it worthy of its award-winning design.

The home’s kerbside appearance is defined by yuccas, drought-tolerant grass and understated pebbled landscaping with a boxed garden, while its broad edifice with gable masks the size of the block of about 900 square metres in family-friendly Arndell Park estate.

A relatively basic floorplan incorporates open-plan living areas (with low-sheen floor tiles) that receive oodles of natural light streaming in from the home’s north-facing aspect. A rumpus room at the front is ideal for a snooker table, and a family-meals area at the back has hardwood-framed sliding doors that open to the alfresco entertainment area with extended merbau deck.

The kitchen’s modernity is expressed in the Technika 900mm cooker, walk-in pantry, microwave nook, and a large island bench with Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher.

The sleeping arrangements will appeal.

Of the four spacious bedrooms with wide cornices and timber venetians, there’s an impressive main bedroom at the front of the home. It has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite that is enhanced by an elevated oval bath and double basins beneath a large mirror.

A study/office is also nearby.

The property is completed by a deep, grassy yard and a huge, fully concreted side yard where boats and caravans can easily be parked in the enormous steel shed/man cave with three-metre-high roller door.

41 Cheviot Drive, Truganina Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 2 Living areas: Study, family-meals, rumpus The rest: Ducted heating and cooling, outdoor entertainment deck, double garage with remote control and drive-through access, shed/garage, side access Price: $590,000-$610,000 Private sale Agent: Sweeney Estate Agents Werribee, 9974 0922

Forsyth Park gets a class act in Otto Truganina estate designs offer luxury lifetsyle homes with affordable price tags

H

ome-buyers looking for a new yet affordable three-bedroom home need look no further than those at Forsyth Park in Truganina.

Developer ISPT has teamed with builder Nostra Homes to bring the Otto three-bedroom house design to Forsyth Park, where homebuyers can purchase it from $293,000.

Buyers have the choice between the singlestorey design with one bathroom and a single garage or a double-storey house with two bathrooms and a double garage.

The Otto packages come with window

furnishings, floor coverings, Blanco appliances, concrete driveways and front and rear landscaping.

Nostra Homes director Anthony Caruana said the new houses at Forsyth Park would deliver attractive, contemporary streetscapes and quality, modern homes.

“We never compromise on price for quality, so every fitting, furnishing and detail is of the highest calibre,” he said.

“Everything from the internal colour scheme down to the type of bathroom tiles can be customised, so as soon as the owners walk in

the door for the first time the house already has their personal touches.”

ISPT senior development manager Sean Hogan said the team had worked hard to design a product that was appealing to the market without an exorbitant price tag.

“At Forsyth Park, we pride ourselves on catering for the entire market – from houses below $300,000 to larger-than-average 700-square-metre-plus blocks with parkland views,” he said. “Usually a quality two-storey, three bedroom house on a great block of land could set buyers back $450,000, but they can

buy one for under $370,000 at Forsyth Park, and even less for a single-storey design, which represents incredible value.”

To register interest in Otto at Forsyth Park, visit the website or on-site sales office, or call the team.

More than crepe expectations Pies, pastries and other hearty fare feature at this cafe, where a warm welcome is guaranteed

I

may be stating the obvious here, but the cold has officially kicked in and as we leave our homes clad in scarves and beanies, it heralds our instinct to seek out comforting food and drink to warm us. Hot chocolate, slowcooked meats, pies, pastries; it’s all part of a Melbourne winter, and Fraus cafe in Victoria Street on the border of West Melbourne evokes thoughts of comfort as soon as you enter the large room.

Bare brick walls and dark wooden tables set the scene and the sweet smell of pastries and chocolate hint at what’s to come.

Fraus puts itself out there as a creperie and hot chocolate cafe, but there is a lot more on offer such as sandwiches, pies, salads and pastries. While the service is welcoming, it could use more experience on the floor or just ensure the staff know answers to questions regarding dishes. Thankfully, this doesn’t take

away from the friendliness of the place. Crepes, both sweet and savoury, feature heavily on the menu, with the galette – a gluten-free buckwheat crepe – highlighted in main courses.

Galettes have various fillings, such as chicken or grilled vegetables ($16), although we opted for smoked salmon ($16.50) served with a salad of green leaves, carrots, cucumber and sprouts and finished with a dollop of herbed creme fraiche.

The cold day meant a meat pie was in order and the Aussie version ($6) we tried was a feast of chunky beef, seasoned thoughtfully, while the pastry held its own against the weight of the meat. A housemade tomato chutney served as a feisty foil to the earthy mix.

Sweet crepes include poached apple or a caramel and banana crepe ($11) or a simple lemon and vanilla sugar ($6), and then there’s the hot chocolate which is its own dessert.

A bowl of thick, glossy chocolate liquid, it’s wickedly delicious and like everything else at Fraus, comforting for cold days ... and warm weather, too.

“The continuation of programs offered to our students and new facilities ensure a bright future for the college and everyone involved there,” Mr Hughes says He has a long history in education, having worked at Lutheran schools for the past 16 years and, before that, teaching in Darwin for five years and Perth for nine.

acKillop College is a Catholic co-educational secondary college inspired by the spirit of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop.

The college pursues excellence in learning and teaching to support the vision of Catholic education in the development of the whole person, says principal Rory Kennedy.

“MacKillop is an innovative and contemporary learning community which has exceptional facilities, offers a vibrant curriculum and well-established wellbeing initiatives,” he says.

“The college enjoys academic excellence while meeting the spiritual, emotional, physical and psychological needs of our students. We offer a curriculum that establishes good learning and study practices with a year 9 campus at St Mary’s Werribee South and a select-entry vocational pathways program for year 10 students.

school that moves with the times and continues to expand and improve is important, and that’s exactly what Good News Lutheran College in Tarneit is doing.

The college opened in 1997 with 24 students and was surrounded by paddocks and farmland.

In 2006, it integrated early secondary schooling with the first year 7 classes commencing in 2011. And last year, the college added a junior (younger primary) and middle (years 6-9) school model and continues to expand.

“Senior school will begin next year with the first year 12 students to graduate in 2016,” principal Simon Hughes says.

“To cater for this growth, the college has begun a significant building program, putting in place many new resources, including rooms for modern food technology, year 12-capable science, materials technology, and design and visual arts.”

Work is under way to redevelop the college using the land next door to provide additional

pathways through VCAL and VET certificates. The college has also introduced a SEDA sports development program.

“Visioning work is ongoing and current planning includes the building of a college chapel to nurture education in faith. We will continue to be a vibrant, faith-filled learning community as we prepare students with the skills they need.”

The students are encouraged to dedicate themselves to a love of learning, a deepening of their faith and a personal commitment to justice.

L

complex moves using power, speed and leverage for dramatic leg sweeps.

Lambada – synonymous with Brazilian and Caribbean culture, it’s believed the lambada is influenced by the samba, merengue, rumba and maxixe. It’s a partnered Latin dance with a quickslow rhythm and is distinguished from other dances with a wave-like motion of dancers’ bodies. Lambada is a Portuguese word referring to the wave-like motion of a whip.

■ Cumbia – originating in Columbia, this dance is a bridge between samba and salsa. It’s often danced in a circular motion to the sounds of flutes, maracas and African drums.

■ Danza – Ponce, Puerto Rico bought danza to the world. It is a ballroom dance

similar to the waltz and is performed in a square pattern to instrumental music.

Paso doble – Meaning ‘‘two-step’’ in Spanish, the paso doble is a lively march-like dance with less hip movement compared with other Latin styles. The dance is a representation of a bull fight.

Traditionally, the male dancer takes the role of matador and the female dancer plays his cape.

Latin moves: There’s more to Latin dancing than the tango and salsa.

atin dancing, whether it’s salsa, tango or the cha cha, is as much about the romance of the dance and feeling the rhythm as it is about the steps.

It’s often the aforementioned Latin dances and others such as the samba and rumba that spring to mind, but there are many others to choose from.

Have you heard about the: ■ Bachata – a dance originating in the Dominican Republic, named after bachata guitar music. Dancers move from side to side in a four-beat pattern; three steps to the side followed by a pause. This forms the essence of the bachata as dancers incorporate pronounced hip movements.

■ Capoeira – pronounced ‘‘cap-oh-ay-ra’’ is a Brazilian martial art combining dance with music. It’s known for its quick and

In Accord with the Aussie market The Honda sedans offer broad appeal and options. By Ewan Kennedy

H

onda cars have long had a reputation for being a step above other Japanese marques in quality and prestige. Nowhere does this show more than in the medium-large Accord sedans.

These days, the Honda Accord sells in Australia in two different market segments.

One, called Accord Euro, emphasises sporty handling and has gained a good reputation among those who enjoy driving. It gives precise communicative steering and plenty of road grip. Handling was improved further when an upgraded Euro model arrived in Australia in June, 2008.

The other variant, simply called the Honda Accord, is larger, American-based and leans in the direction of passenger comfort rather than sporty dynamics.

Many owners only drive gently and find the Accord’s characteristics most acceptable.

Drivers with more of a sporting makeup will find these Accords rather soft and inclined to understeer at relatively slow speeds.

Australia is the only country that takes imports of the two significantly different models, showing the high regard in which our country is held by head office chiefs in Japan.

Honda Accords in Australia are four-door sedans (the European market also has a station wagon variant). Interior space is good, though the Euro is smaller than American Accord, so for adults to get comfortable in the rear seat the front seats have to be set a few notches forward.

Boot space is good, with a wide, low opening that makes it easy to load. Naturally, the boot in the larger car has greater volume, but the Euro’s luggage area is more than acceptable if only couples are using the car.

The Honda tradition of designing cars with good outward visibility makes the Accord easy to drive and park, as well as making it comfortable for young children to see out of.

professional mechanics. Insurance is generally very reasonable, as is only to be expected from a car in this ultra-conservative market segment.

It will be interesting to see if the new sportoriented Accord Euro changes the premium structure.

What to look for

Dependable: The 2012 Honda Accord Euro.

However, crash safety regulations that made thick pillars necessary mean there’s less outwards visibility in the these post-2003 Accords. They aren’t bad, just not as good as the excellent older models.

A four-cylinder engine was used in the Euro model, and the American Accord has a capacity of 2.4 litres. The engine in the Euro is set to a higher state of tune than the one in the American car so needs high-octane unleaded petrol. The Accord is happy to run on 91, though a diet of 95 does seem to make it feel good.

A V6 3.0-litre unit is used in the American Accord, but not in the Euro. The 2008 model change saw an increase in the V6 engine size to 3.5 litres. The newer engine design offers plenty of relaxed torque and uses less fuel than the smaller engine it replaced.

The Accord Euro is offered with a six-speed

manual to suit its sporting nature, though in Australia most are fitted with a five-speed sequential automatic. The American car is imported only with a five-speed automatic transmission.

The Honda dealer network usually concentrates on the major population centres.

If you live in a relatively remote country area, it might be wise to make inquiries to Honda’s head office, or your local regional office, if you are considering buying one of the cars.

Ask about the time it takes to source parts, although this is unlikely to be more than a couple of business days.

Honda has worked hard at reducing spare parts costs in recent years. But the price drops usually apply more to the common parts than to the unusual ones.

These are relatively complex cars, especially from the 1998 model, and are best left to

The engine should be all but inaudible at idle, even in the four-cylinder units. Any roughness may indicate problems.

Check there are no oily black stains in the exhaust pipe and the surrounding body and bumper. Make sure there isn’t a puff of oilylooking smoke from the exhaust when the accelerator is floored after the engine has been idling for a minute or so.

Manual gearboxes should move freely with no sticking or crunching on fast gear changes.

Automatics should go into gear promptly and their changes should only be noticeable when you’re accelerating hard.

During your test drive, check the brakes pull the car up evenly without one wheel locking before the others. On cars with ABS, feel for a pulsing through the pedal during very hard braking.

Look at the condition of the interior, paying special attention to the top of the dashboard and the rear shelf for sun damage. Fading or cracking in these areas can cause hassles.

Rust is not common but may have found its way into cars that have been badly repaired after crashes. If you’re not sure, have a professional check out the car, as repairs can be expensive.

Forester hits a high Subaru’s mid-size SUV lifts its game on all fronts. By Derek Ogden

F

This is accompanied by a 19 per cent gain in fuel efficiency and 20.6 per cent improvement in emissions. Towing ability has also gone up to 1800 kg for a trailer with brakes.

On the outside, the Forester XT has gone from a compact all-wheel drive wagon 16 years ago to a mid-size SUV with substantial street presence from its bulked-up body.

Not that aerodynamics have suffered, with efficiency improved by 11 per cent.

A gripe with previous Foresters has been the limited vision from the driver’s seat because of its lack of height. Seats in the XT have got over that. Set higher, together with the A-pillar shifted 200mm forward, taking the windscreen further from front-seat occupants, there’s more of a command position for the driver, while the blind spot is reduced by one degree.

The rush from zero to 100km/h can be done in an impressive 7.5 seconds.

All Forester XTs are fitted with Subaru Intelligent-Drive, which serves up engine and automatic transmission characteristics to

rom pirate treasure map to automobile designation, the letter ‘X’ marks the spot of something excitingly special. This is never truer than with the Forester XT, Subaru’s new high-performance mid-size SUV. A best-seller since pioneering the highperformance SUV class in 1997, this shows off an array of new features, technology and styling to stir Forester fans new and old.

I had my doubts about the XT – a 2.0-litre petrol engine, albeit turbocharged, mated with a continuously variable transmission. Not the recipe for sprightly performance, I thought.

How wrong can you be? New engine and transmission technology from Fuji Heavy Industries has shifted the Forester performance up into what is almost a segment of its own.

The 2.0-litre horizontally opposed Boxer motor makes use of direct petrol injection to pump out 177 kW of power at 5600 rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 2400 and 3600 rpm, a 4.7 per cent power gain and 9.4 torque increase over its predecessor.

Power play: The Subaru Forester XT delivers a high level of performance with looks to match.

suit various driving styles, preferences and conditions at the push of a button.

Each mode gives the driver the chance to experience a ‘different’ vehicle, from sedate to sporty, without having to apologise to passengers for a rough ride or dodgy handling.

There should be no squabbling over cabin storage, which is plentiful and versatile as is the easily accessed rear cargo area.

Putting occupants further at ease is vehicle dynamic stability control, which constantly

checks the anti-lock brakes, engine and limitedslip differential via the traction control system.

‘Kid connectivity’ is well covered by USB, iPod and Bluetooth and a sound restorer that adds to the digital sound sources lost in music when compressed for iPod and MP3.

Forester 2.0 XT also includes reversing camera, electric sunroof, dual zone airconditioning, multi-function display, 18-inch alloy wheels and silver roof rails, and is priced from $43,490 plus on-road costs.

MOTORING Mitsubishi Mirage What is it? A small car at a small price.

What’s in it? A 57-kilowatt 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine with a continuously variable auto.

Is it thirsty? I used 7.5 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 5.5 in the country.

The official combined figure is 4.6.

Drive away $18,527. (Five-speed manual $16,205).

Noisy drive Don’t take things at face value, advises Rod Easdown

overtake smartly. In traffic your foot is not infrequently on the floor.

The body integrity is less reassuring than, say, a Mazda 2 or a Hyundai i20, and the Mirage lacks their refinement. You’ll note that the rear brakes are drums while the Mazda and Hyundai get discs.

The Mirage leans in tight corners and doesn’t like being hurried, and the ride is firmish, about what you’d expect from something of this size and weight.

But the economy is sensational. I also tried a five-speed manual – a bit quicker, and noisier – and its economy is similar to the auto.

The Mirage is a bargain. Don’t go by the official prices here. Ask for a deal. At time of writing, they started at $12,990 with $1000 cash back.

R

esearch indicates that the number of car buyers taking test drives is steadily declining. With so many cars now being pretty generic, a bit like fridges and microwaves, that’s entirely understandable.

But driving can still make a big difference.

Let me present the Mitsubishi Mirage. It’s a terrific showroom car.

It looks good. The interior is well finished with pleasant surfaces and no bare metal.

The front seats are OK, roominess is good for a car of this size and the cargo space is usable with a 60/40 folding rear seat.

The controls are clear, the instruments are fine. It has everything you need including Bluetooth and USB, and the LS ($21,099) gets automatic headlights and wipers, a proximity key and climate control.

Sitting in the showroom, you’d happily consider it a proposition.

Now drive it. The first thing you discover is how noisy it is. The little 1.2-litre sounds like a diesel, partly because it has three cylinders

Things you didn’t know about motoring and partly because corners have been cut with soundproofing. It’s all mechanical noise, and by the time you reach freeway speeds there’s a heap of road noise in the equation.

Another corner has been cut with the audio, which is pretty crook. Rip out and replace the speakers because I doubt they cost Mitsubishi

Jaguar C-types were the first race cars in the world with disc brakes, giving them a huge advantage over all competitors. In the 1953 LeMans they finished first, second and fourth, all because they spent less time slowing down.

Tigers perform demolition job

On song: Ben Warren booted four goals for the Werribee Tigers.

MMP06465-01-a19Jun©FCNVIC

A MONSTROUS second half from Werribee meant that the Tigers ran away with a 92-point win over VFL cellar-dweller Bendigo Gold on Saturday.

Werribee led by only 13 points at half-time but restricted the Gold to a solitary goal in the second half as it piled on 14 of its own for a fourth straight victory.

The win has the Tigers sitting seventh with six wins and four losses, just two points behind fourth-ranked Port Melbourne.

Bendigo, which broke ranks with Essendon during the off-season, has mostly provided opposition teams with a chance to boost their percentage in 2013. But after a muchimproved showing against Coburg, Bendigo was well in touch in the first half. Both teams managed only two goals in the second quarter, but again the Tigers were inaccurate, kicking 2.5 for the term.

It’s hard to hold a good side down for too long though, and Werribee broke the game open in the third quarter with six goals to one. By the time the third quarter siren sounded, the Tigers were 46 points ahead and the game was well and truly over.

A massive final term, in which Werribee kicked eight goals to four behinds, put the margin within reach of 100 points. The Tigers ran out of time to get to that mark.

Ben McKinley and Ben Warren both kicked four goals for the Tigers, with Jarred Moore, Jordan Gysberts and Ben Ross the shining lights.

Levi Greenwood was among the best for the fifth game in a row, boosting his chance of a North Melbourne recall.

Big man Dan Currie, returning from injury, was impressive.

Puppy carers needed!

The Werribee Cricket Club’s Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday July 10th, starting at 7 pm, upstairs at

Chirnside Park, Watton St, Werribee.

All welcome.

Take care of a puppy and help change a life…

Being a Seeing Eye Dog puppy carer is possibly the most enjoyable way to volunteer.

Not only do you get to experience the joy of looking after an adorable puppy for about 12 months, without any of the associated costs – you will also enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you are assisting someone who is blind to live the life they choose.

Seeing Eye Dogs Australia is urgently in need of loving homes for puppies in your area.

A Werribee Tigers promotion

West Wing One of the areas that is so vital to our club is recruiting.

When you look at the turnover of players each season, the ability to get quality players from near and far is paramount. Our Recruiting Manager is Mark Stone, a face you might have seen, but did not know what his role was at the club.

SW: How did you get the job?

MS: I landed the job because I knew a lot of people in football, and had an interest in the game and how it was played. The job almost created itself, because it was needed at the club at the time. I thought I was the best person for the job and knowing Mark Penaluna, we set about building our networks.

SW: What does it entail on a weekly basis and how do you juggle it with your role at SEN as Promotions Manager and a broadcaster?

MS: It entails a lot of different things. Every week I religiously look at TAC Cup, country football, interstate and local footy results. I talk to people through my job at SEN, with regard to who is playing well. We might have a guest on a show who will mention a player who is going well.

The two roles work really well together. SEN is a great footy station and I love working for both. Hopefully I can do it for a lot longer.

SW: You cover a lot of territory don’t you?

MS: I cover interstate, country and metro areas. If I want to go to Tasmania, Shepparton, Lavington or to South Australia, if I think it is a worthwhile thing, I run it past the club. If I am going on holidays I might go and see a footy game or two at the same time. It kills two birds with one stone.

SW: What sort of contact network have you got?

MS: I think it is pretty extensive and it keeps growing all the time and it needs to. It probably disappoints me that I can’t get every player I set out to get, but that’s the nature of the game.

SW: What do you look for in a player?

MS: I always say the X factor. We look for players who can jump, have speed, can use both sides of the body and have got the right attitude. We’re looking for someone who is driven, and knows where they are going in life. We are looking for all round players, who have the desire to work hard, and want an opportunity to go to the next level.

SW: How did you find blokes like Michael Barlow and Ben Brown for the club?

MS: Michael knew a few of the ex Bushrangers players who were playing at Werribee at the time and he was coming to study in Melbourne at Uni. We were just in the right place at the right time. Michael felt Werribee was a good mix, a bit like a country club, he was comfortable with the environment and style. I do many trips to Tasmania because I love the place. A few people in football over there alerted me to a few players, and Ben Brown was one of those. He had an injury setback with a knee reco, but he had a mate who lives in Werribee, so he decided to come here. I think both Mick and Ben could see similarities between Werribee and their old clubs (Shepparton United and Glenorchy) SW: How do you convince players to come to Werribee?

MS: It is a country environment in a metropolitan setting.

Some players like that it is a bit out of Melbourne, that it is a very big community that they can tap into. Once they get to the club they see how professional it is, how well the players are looked after. We believe we are doing things as good as an AFL club with the resources we have.

SW: Keep up the good work MS: Will do, you too.

Jets hang on, but coach in no mood for flattery THERE were times on Saturday when the Western Jets were vulnerable.

They might have started with a scintillating six-goals-to-one opening term against the Northern Knights in the TAC Cup at Visy Park, but their stranglehold over the game loosened considerably as it wore on.

The Jets managed to hold on for a 15-point win, but coach Torin Baker conceded his side had terms dictated to them by the Knights for lengthy periods in this crucial bout between two finals hunting sides.

“One of the things that was good ... we were able to get off to a great start,” he told the Weekly.

“Credit to Northern, they really changed the way the game was being played and, tactically, didn’t allow us what we were trying to get.

So they worked their way back into the contest.

“They were just able to ensure our defenders were not able to drop off their opponents at any stage. At the same time, they crowded our forward line in the second quarter and our guys really struggled finding a target inside 50.”

As with all good sides, the Jets were able to find a way when challenged. They isolated key forwards Harrison King and Caleb Sullivan in dangerous one-on-one contests to good effect.

And they found run and carry from Liam Duggan off half-back and through the middle.

Jake Greiser got his hands dirty in the clinches, while David Iaccarino wore down his opposite number with tireless run.

The pendulum swung back into the favour of the Jets in the third and they were able to keep the Knights at

arm’s length on the scoreboard. “We were able to right the wrongs from the second quarter,” Baker said.

There were few more important players on the field than Lachlan Hickey. The 17-year-old provides an X-factor for the Jets in that he can be used in varying roles.

“He’s such a versatile player,” Baker said.

“We’ve played him at different stages on a wing, down back and up forward, and he meets every challenge.”

Hickey had one of his best games as a half-forward.

The most predictable thing that can be said about this VFL season is that the next three months are unpredictable.

The nature of the VFL – with its full, partial and non-AFL alignments – makes the art of prediction very difficult.

Last year’s final four – Werribee, Williamstown, Port Melbourne and premiers Geelong – are all in the top eight, but it’s Box Hill and Casey Scorpions who lead the ladder after 10 rounds.

The Tigers came within a kick of a grand final appearance last year.

Trailing by 29 points at three-quartertime, they fought back fiercely but ultimately fell just short of their first VFL grand final since the unsuccessful campaign of 2005.

Much has changed for the Tigers since that game; several other players have moved on.

But the Tigers have become accustomed to list turnover. The VFL calls on clubs to accept movement, adjust and move on. Werribee went hard in recruiting, picking up former Swan Jarred Moore and Tasmanian Ben Brown among others, while development of younger players has continued unabated.

Devils dominate on a star’s big day

Centurions fly the flag

THE Werribee Devils made it a milestone to remember for star-inthe-paint Lisa Troyahn.

Troyahn celebrated her 200th game in the Devils’ 64-37 roughing up of Blackburn Vikings in the Big V Basketball women’s division 2 at the Knox Basketball Stadium on Sunday.

“It’s a big milestone, so it was important for the girls to get up and have a win for her,” Devils coach Lloyd Klaman told the Weekly.

Troyahn has fast become a favourite of the players since crossing from championship outfit Hume City Broncos. Always active in the key, the Devils can just about bank on Troyahn delivering a double double on a weekly basis.

What endears her to her young teammates is a willingness to bring others into play and offer up tricks of the trade that only experienced players can teach.

Klaman describes her as his “unselfish” star. “She’s busts her butt at every training and sets the example,” he said. “She’s great with the kids, too. All the young girls on the team love her and she makes time for them.

“You can see during a game, she tries to get them involved and probably sometimes too much. She’s really unselfish and that’s fantastic for a more experienced player.”

The Devils had the game under lock and key by three-quarter-time with a 27-point lead.

Troyahn delivered a customary 14 points and 11 rebounds.

The rest of the minutes and points were shared, with Georgia Perry, Kennedy Taylor and Olivia Klaman scoring nine apiece.

All of Klaman’s points came from beyond the three-point arc.

Memorable milestone: Lisa Troyahn brought up 200 games at weekend.

The sharp-shooting teenager has been in hot touch from long range, shooting an incredible 44 per cent on the season with 11 made from 25 attempts.

Putting that in perspective, of all the players who took to the court in the Women’s National Basketball League in 2012-13 and attempted 25 three-pointers or more, only four players had a better percentage than Klaman.

“If she hits one, she’s just as likely to hit three or four in a row,’’ her dad and coach Lloyd Klaman said.

“She’ll stay on court for 45 minutes after training just shooting and shooting. She does put a lot of time into it and she’s come a long way this year.”

One player who did not trouble the scorers, but took on a mighty work-load on the defensive end was Alex Moss.

Moss reeled in eight rebounds to go with two steals, and Klaman rates that just as highly. She was unbelievable,” he said.

“She’s close to being the best defensive player every game. ‘‘She just goes in and battles every week.”

The second-placed Devils will host the Western Port Steelers at Werribee Sports and Fitness Centre on Saturday night.

WERRIBEE Centrals gave the champions of old a past players day to savour with a 49-point thrashing of Winchelsea in the Geelong and District Football League Smiths Holden Cup match-of-the-round at Galvin Park on Saturday.

The result had plenty riding on it for both sides with the third-placed Centurions desperately wanting to keep pace with the top two sides, while Winchelsea was keen to close the gap between the two.

The Centurions were switched on from the outset, booting the first three goals of the game to the delight of vocal fans.

David Hall and Phil Jones were prominent up forward, while Steven Morgan and Michael Cassidy controlled proceedings from the middle of the park.

The Centurions defence held firm, keeping the visitors to just nine goals..

Luke Cachia was the most damaging forward on the ground, kicking six majors for the Centurions.

Reds climb out of the relegation zone

can shift and that’s basically what occurred.”

The Reds managed to hold on to all three points.

A feature was their total team defence.

“Your defence starts from up front,” Opazo said.

“I wanted to keep our shape the whole game, which I think we did, we just conceded silly goals.”

Alister Smart, who roams the front third for the Reds, sets the defensive example for his side.

The striker was unlucky not to get on the score sheet as he continuously presented a target and contributed in other areas.

“He does a mountain of work up front, he’s basically our first defender,” Opazo said.

“He’s always putting defenders under pressure and working back for the team.

“He’s unselfish.”

Smart’s brother, Kevin, was perhaps best afield, pulling the strings in central midfield.

Zia Sherzai showed his talent out wide.

The Reds face rivals Bell Park away on Saturday in what Opazo has labelled a ‘‘six point game”.

“It’s a defining moment in our season,” he said.

HOPPERS Crossing has seen the light at the end of a dark tunnel in the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 4.

The Reds have leapt out of the relegation zone for a week at least after a 3-2 win over FC Strathmore at Grange Reserve on Saturday.

Reds coach Alfonso Opazo told the Weekly his team had put on a united front on and off the pitch to turn its form around.

While most clubs were enjoying the mid-season siesta, the Reds were hard at work, priming for the second half of the season.

“I’ve been pushing them hard,” Opazo said.

“The boys, to their credit, they’re showing up, they’re doing the hard yards and they’re not complaining.

“It shows a commitment and they want to succeed.

“They can see for themselves the results and the way we’re playing football.”

The Reds took a commanding 3-1 lead into half-time after goals to Liam McDermott, Kevin Smart and Julian Zach on Saturday.

The opening 45 minutes panned out to perfection with the exception of the concession of a sloppy early goal.

Opazo warned his players during the break to expect a fired-up Mores team in the second half, and that’s what they got.

“It’s a dangerous scoreline; you can’t get complacent,” he said.

“They get it to 3-2 and momentum

‘Your defence starts from up front.’

Anything goes: Reds winger Zia Sherzai finds his progress halted by FC Strathmore defender Tom Mikic.

Hard-working Tigers hit the road to recovery WERRIBEE Districts has taken the first step on the long road to survival in the Victorian Amateur Football Association Premier B. The Tigers have turned the corner, snapping an eight-game losing streak with a spectacular come-from-behind win over Parkdale Vultures away at Gerry Green Reserve on Saturday.

This is no overnight recovery for the Tigers, who have threatened numerous times with improved form over the past month and finally reaped the rewards of their hard work.

“The first couple of games of the year we got blown out of the water,” Tigers president Rod Harrington told the Weekly.

“It was like ‘gee, this is going to be a long, hard year’, and it has

been.

“But there has been improvement week after week and this was reward for all the hard effort everyone has put in: players, coaches, people around the club.”

The Tigers refused to roll over when things were looking dire on Saturday.

They showed their steely resolve with a stunning last-quarter fightback.

Trailing by 21 at three-quarter time, a weaker side would have put the game in the ‘too hard’ basket, but the hungry Tigers delivered an eight-goals-to-two last quarter.

Matt Turner, a youngster playing his first season of senior football, booted four goals in a superb final term. “They just don’t give up,” Harrington said. “We were the

dominant team on the day, but we just couldn’t put the score on the board.

“Eventually, if you keep chipping away, the dam walls will break and that’s what happened.”

Chris Molivas had the scoreboard humming with five goals.

The Dean brothers – captain Matt and Shaun – and Ben Morton led from the front.

Sudan-born ruckman Bol Kolang produced one of the best games of his short career. “He was by far the best on ground in the ruck,” Harrington said. “He’s only been playing footy for three years.”

The Tigers have seven days to celebrate their first win of the season, but it will be back to reality on Saturday when they host top side Old Trinity at Soldiers Reserve.

Who knows what’s possible. The Tigers enter on the back of a win, while Old Trinity has lost two of its past three games.

In division 3, Old Westbourne got the jump on Richmond Central to lead by 19 points at quartertime, but its joy was short-lived at the Westbourne School Ground.

The Warriors wound up losing by 34 points, their ninth straight loss to start the season.

In division 4, Point Cook had a costly 29-point loss to Mt Lilydale, which saw them slide to fifth on the ladder. The Bulldogs also got off to a flyer to lead by 25 at the first change, but could not sustain it over the course of four quarters.

Bees buzz to enter top half WERRIBEE City edged out Eastern Lions 1-0 in the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 1 at Galvin Park on Saturday.

All of a sudden, the Bees have jumped into the top half of the table, just three points off ladder leader Heidelberg United.

Nino Ragusa’s sixth-placed team will host Box Hill United, the side directly above them on the table, in a Sunday blockbuster.

In state league 5, Point Cook triumphed over Spring Hills FC in the battle of the new boys at Saltwater Reserve.

The Jets came from a goal down at half-time to make it three wins in a row and five unbeaten. They have moved up to third on the ladder.

New breed roars like the dominant Tigers of old to mark 20 years

By Lance Jenkinson WERRIBEE has impressed the champions that came before them in Hockey Victoria men’s Vic League 1.

The Tigers hosted a large number of their 1993 premiership-winning team for a 20-year reunion on Saturday, and all went home happy.

The present-day players put on a real show, beating Old Xaverians 3-1 at Presidents Park.

“The old boys were there and they really enjoyed it and got among the new boys,” Tigers captain Ross Cowlishaw told the Weekly.

“It was quite a good atmosphere down at the club. They were all chatting about the old times and how much they enjoyed our game. That meant a lot to the boys.”

The Tigers made a slow start, conceding the first goal of the match to David Duran. But it would merely

be a blip on the radar for the Tigers, who gained control through a pair of goals to Sean Gardner to lead 2-1 by half-time.

“He did his job as an attacker,” Cowlishaw said. “He was in the right position on the post.”

The Tigers had the insurance goal they craved in the second half from the tireless Aidan Cowie.

Cowie scored in a similar fashion to Gardner, on the post for a

Basketball Werribee Devils are bogged in the middle of the Big V Basketball men’s championship standings after a fourth successive loss.

The Devils were upset 86-82 by second-last Sherbrooke Suns on Saturday night despite a strong 22-point, 11-rebound outing from Jordan Hughes. The Devils, who trail the top five sides by three games, will meet title contender Ringwood Hawks at the Werribee Sports and Fitness Centre on Sunday.

Netball Werribee Centrals had a doubleyour-score 42-21 win over Winchelsea in the Geelong and District Netball League A grade.

With an injury to Mickayla Ward forcing a reshuffle, the Centurions’ defence had to work overtime.

Amanda Wilson, Noni McClure and Melissa Jeka answered the call by making life hell for the Winchelsea Goalers. The Centurions are hot favourites to take out the title.

Rugby league Werribee Bears, who play in the Victorian Rugby League first grade, have a new home in Wyndham Vale. Bears president Aaron Tiananga said the move to Haines Drive Reserve would not have been possible without Wyndham City Council. The Bears played their first game at the venue on Saturday, losing to the WaverleyOakleigh Panthers 38-30.

THE scoreboard had the look of a train wreck for Hoppers Crossing, which was goalless at half-time and an eventual 57-point loser.

But in general play, the youthdriven Warriors more than stood up for themselves, offering a competitive outing for ladder leader Deer Park in the Western Region Football League division 1 away at John McLeod Oval on Saturday.

“I think that scoreboard is a bit misleading,” Warriors captain Brad Murphy told the Weekly.

The Warriors needed a change of mindset to compete with the allconquering Lions. They dropped numbers before the ball and clogged up the avenues to goal.

It worked from a defensive standpoint, but they struggled to stimulate their own attack, leading to an embarrassing zero in the goals tally at half-time.

“That was the tactic going into the game,” Murphy said.

“It sort of quelled their scoring, but it also stopped us from scoring a bit.

“I thought we had the majority of the play in the first half, we had a lot of the footy.”

The negative tactics were borne out of necessity because of a long injury list. Missing from the Warriors were big names Kade Carey, Aaron Ramsay, Terry Knight, Daniel Riosa, Jake Mutton and Mitch Merrifield.

The youngsters who stepped up to fill the breach had to find a way to halt the Lions’ prime movers and they did that for most part. But it hindered their efforts for two quarters.

“We’ve got eight of our best 22 out and probably seven of those players are in our best 10 or 12 players,” Murphy said.

“It’s a great opportunity for these young guys and the good thing is they’re stepping up. They’re not

shying away from it, they’re certainly not getting their pants pulled down.

They’re showing they’re ready-made senior footballers.”

The Warriors changed tactics after half time, playing a traditional set-up of six forwards and six backs.

They dominated the third term, outscoring the hosts four goals to one.

Brodie Moles, Murphy Watt and Adam Poland set the tone for the Warriors.

But there was no more important contributor for the Warriors than young forward/ruckman Robbie Wittmer, who had the enormous task of confronting Chris Stewart, one of the best ruckmen in the league.

“He went into the ruck for four quarters against Chris Stewart, who I regard as the best local ruckman I’ve seen play footy,” Murphy said.

“Take nothing away from Stewie, he’s a fantastic player, but Robbie comprehensively beat him in the ruck and gave first use to the midfielders and was outstanding around the ground as well. He really took it up to Stewart and was definitely our best player on the day.”

From a 39-point deficit at the half, the Warriors pegged the margin back to 19 points by three-quarter-time.

The Lions steadied in the last, to run out big winners.

Murphy was proud of his side.

“We had about 65 tackles for the day, which is extraordinary.

“The effort and intensity around the stoppages is as good as I’ve seen Hoppers do it but, in saying that, we’re still nine goals off the team that we regard as the best in the competition and the undefeated side, so we’ve got a long way to go.”

The Warriors have tumbled out of the top five for the first time this season. They face a must-win clash against Port Melbourne Colts at JL Murphy Reserve on Saturday.
