Cops target rogues By XAVIER SMERDON VICTORIA police have identified up to 80 dangerous drivers in Wyndham who continue to drive drunk and on drugs and flout the road rules. Wyndham’s police Inspector Damien Christensen told Star that the worst drivers in the area were being targeted by members of his Highway Patrol. “We know of 70 or 80 people that are considered to be high risk drivers because they drink and drive or take drugs and drive or continue to speed, and they’ve racked up a bunch of fines,” Insp Christensen said. “We’re looking to make sure they don’t continue to drive.” It comes as dramatic decreases in the number of people dying on the western suburb’s roads show that they are the safest they have been in several years. The latest TAC road safety statistics were released last week showing that all but one suburb in the West had seen a drop in road related fatalities. Wyndham had the biggest decrease after two horror years where nine people were killed consecutively in 2011 and 2012, with a decrease of 56 per cent. The figures, which compare the 12 months to October this year, also

indicated that Melton had seen a reduction in fatalities of 50 per cent from 2012 to 2013. When comparing this year to 2011 the drop is even more dramatic at 63 per cent. Brimbank and Maribyrnong also had comparatively good years, with drops of 44 per cent and 25 per cent respectively. The only suburb where the number of road deaths increased was Hobsons Bay, which went from just one in 2011 to three this year. Chairman of RoadSafe Westgate, which advocates for safer roads and driver education in the West, Jim Giddings, told Star a higher police presence was behind the shift. “Two things have contributed to this reduction and they are a greater community awareness of issues like speeding and hooning, and a greater presence from the police,” Mr Giddings said. “There is no doubt that when we have a more visible police presence that people do slow down.” Inspector Christensen said there had been an increased focus on making Wyndham’s roads safer. “Over the last 12 months there has been a stunning incremental push to increase the focus on road policing and the results are what they are,” he said.

We’re racing!

THE Werribee Cup is set to go ahead this Sunday, and even the weather is even predicted to co-operate for the day. It is expected to be a mostly sunny day and reach a top of 27 degrees, meaning there will be no excuse for the ladies not to wear their finest race day dresses. Alex Hecker and Edwin Jup, the ambassadors for the Werribee Cup, showed everyone how it was done last week by getting dressed up and Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT inspecting the track.

CONTRARY to what some people think, I am actually glad the Werribee Cup is going ahead this Sunday. I am glad several top jockeys came down and inspected and rode horses on the track and I trust it will be right to go on Sunday. There will be fashions on the field, live music and marquees. SMOKERS beware! The feedback I received from my comments last week suggest I am not the only one who thinks you should not be buying your ciggies in the normal checkout line. It’s off to the Bottle Shop or the front counter according to the emails I received. I know this is never going to happen but what if smokers did it of their own accord. How good would that be? To quote a line from the movie ‘The Castle’: Tell him he’s dreaming. LEGENDS on the Lawn has become Live on the Lawn and the old rockers have been replaced by some youngies, like Bernard Fanning from Powderfinger and Clare Bowditch. Sounds good to me.

I MENTIONED last week the new book that has just been released called ‘Wyndham Our Story’ and I managed to get my hands on a copy this week and it is fascinating. I knew Werribee had a rich and diverse history but this really opened my eyes. It is a pictorial history compiled by Geoff Hocking and commissioned by the council. I have been critical of some of the council’s decisions in the past regarding arts spending, but whatever this cost, it is worth every cent. The book comes in two versions, paperback ($30) and hardback ($40) and are available from all branches of the Wyndham Library and the Civic Centre. I trust that every school in our city buys a copy or two so our children can see the history of the area they are growing up in.

Mobile shopping on the rise By YASEMIN TALAT WERRIBEE was the second most mobile savvy place in the nation, with one of the highest penetration of mobile shoppers, according to new PayPal Australia data. PayPal Australia found that online shoppers in Werribee were the second most mobile savvy in Australia based on percentage of total purchases online. Hoppers Crossing also made it

into the top 20 list and was ranked sixth in the nation. PayPal Australia spokesperson Emily Birks said Werribee and Hoppers Crossing residents, just like more and more Australians, were embracing mobile shopping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can go to the shops if they want to and see and be inspired, but on their mobile they have the convenience of shopping from home,â&#x20AC;? Ms Birks said.

Ms Birks said mobile shopping was an increasing trend because it inspired consumers to shop anytime and anywhere at their own leisure. She said it also was a good way to avoid the long Christmas shopping queues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mobile shopping is definitely a trend that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a big spike in,â&#x20AC;? Ms Birks said. PayPal Australia predicted that one in three mobile transactions this

Helen and her dog Musiu are happy to be together again. 111549

Christmas shopping period will take place on a mobile device compared to one in five last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming more of a trend that people are relying on their mobile device to do a number of daily activities, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only natural for that to extend to shopping,â&#x20AC;? she said. PayPal urged Werribee shoppers to remember to stay safe when shopping online, especially in the lead up to Christmas.

Public meets over school decay By YASEMIN TALAT AN urgent Public Forum to gain urgent funding for Werribee Secondary College was held at the school last week with more than 100 attendees concerned for the safety and wellbeing of students and staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How long should our children be exposed to these hazards before the school can get Stage 3 funding?â&#x20AC;? a concerned parent asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And who is responsible if someone is injured here?â&#x20AC;? Staff, students and parents of the school filled the auditorium of the College to discuss the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deteriorating state, seeking public support in a bid to gain immediate funding to improve the old buildings. State Member for Tarneit Tim Pallas and Greens MLC Colleen Hartland addressed the issue and saw first-hand the tragic school buildings and grounds which needed attention. The vermin infested long corridor, electrocuted possums found in switchboards across the school, collapsing and patched up ceilings, maggot infested light bulbs and blocked drains were just a handful of the hazard risks posed to the 1500 students and teachers. Werribee Secondary College school principal, Steve Butyn, said he could not understand why the school was taking longer to rebuild than the Sydney Harbour Bridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in need to have that stage 3 funding,â&#x20AC;? Mr Butyn said of the 57-year-old school. Following the meeting Ms Beek and President of the College Council presented Mr Andrew Elsbury with the business case to pass onto Premier Dr Denis Napthine.

How medical pet fund keeps love alive By XAVIER SMERDON PETS are important members of the family, so when they are sick and facing an uncertain future, you want to give them the best care possible. For one Werribee woman, however, the best care for her best friend was just simply unaffordable. Helen Kolasinksi is originally from Poland and arrived in Australia from France in 1950 with her husband before working as a wool inspector in a lab in Williamstown. Since then she has lived a full life, and she has always been sur-

rounded by her pets, from German Shepherds to cats until she found her maltese cross shitzu, Musiu, four years ago. His name means teddy bear in Polish and Ms Kolasinksi said she dubbed him that because his hair was fluffy when she first got him. Her husband passed away 10 years ago and her beloved sister who came from Poland to be close with her passed away just two years ago, making her friendship with Musiu even more important. So last month when she found a

lump on his back near his tail, she took him straight to the vet. It was found that he had perineal hernia and needed an operation, which was going to cost around $1000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on a single pension and I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford that much money,â&#x20AC;? Ms Kolasinksi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have that much money for myself.â&#x20AC;? Luckily the Melbourne University and Veterinary Clinic got in touch with the Pet Medical Crisis Fund who agreed to use their small pool

of donations to fund the operation. Musiu is now running around Ms Kolasinksiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and he is even able to jump up on her lap to keep her company, which has made her very happy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I have in my life now,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of good people in the world.â&#x20AC;?

Public protection WYNDHAM Council has released its 2014 immunisation program, reminding residents about the importance of immunisation for both adults and children. Immunisation is the most cost-effective medical means to protect the health of the population through the reduction, elimination and eradication of preventable infectious diseases. The council’s Immunisation Unit provides public immunisation sessions to vaccinate people against a range of diseases.

Councillor Peter Maynard said immunisation is crucial regardless of your age and urged people to stay up-to-date with their vaccines. “Immunisation not only protects the individual, but also shields the wider community from the spread of infection by decreasing the number of susceptible people in the population,” Cr Maynard said. “Thousands of residents are vaccinated by Wyndham City staff every year. In early 2014, year 7 students will be offered

Human papilloma virus (HPV) and chickenpox vaccines; year 9 male students will be eligible for a catch-up HPV vaccine, while year 10 students will be offered the diphtheria/tetanus and whooping cough vaccines. Parents will be notified of the details by their child’s school.” For more information or a copy of the 2014 Immunisation Schedule, phone Wyndham City’s Immunisation Officer on 9742 0736 or visit www.wyndham.vic.gov.au

Students feel the need for speed By XAVIER SMERDON THEY have the need, the need for speed. And they are hoping that very need will help them be crowned the fastest students in Australia. Five students from Wyndham Central Secondary College took their custom made model Formula 1 car to the F1 In Schools Victorian Championships and walked away victorious. Next March Roniel Dizon, Bar Say, Edward Murphy and twin brothers Julius and Jonathan Isleta will compete in the National Championships in Canberra as team GDR. Their small wooden car used a pressurised canister to fly

down a 20 metre track in just 1.169 seconds. With modifications to their design they hope to be able to shave some valuable time off that speed before they go to Canberra. Their teacher and the Director of Science at Wyndham Central, Michael Germano, previously won the nationals with a group of students from Laverton Secondary College in 2007. He said GDR were made of strong stuff and could win the Australian title. “I get a great vibe from these guys,” Mr Germano said. “They’re an innovative team, they gel well together, they help each other and those are the qualities you need to win.” The team got their name

from a species of dragon fly, which is the fastest insect in the world and can fly at up to 60 miles per hour. If they win the National Championships they will qualify for the World Championships and be in the running for a $1 million scholarship. Mr Germano said they were ready to take on the challenge. “I wouldn’t be walking into the competition if I didn’t think they could win,” he said. “What they need now is support from the community to help them get there.” The team needs to pay for flights and accommodation in Canberra and team uniforms. To support them call Mr Germano on 0404 822 727.

Celebrating 60 years of bliss By NICOLE VALICEK A COUPLE who met by chance at a hamburger shop will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this week. The Bedella’s, of Brooklyn, will celebrate six decades of marriage on Thursday. Donald and Lorraine were married at St Andrews Church in Footscray on 12 December, 1953. The family will toast their diamond anniversary at a special function organised by their four daughters Donna, Linda, Vicki and Julie. The Bedella’s met at a local hamburger hang out in Footscray. Donald, who rode a motorbike, was there with his mates and Lorraine was waiting at a nearby tram stop with her sister after tennis. “It started by talking to the motorbike boys on the way home,” she said. The couple, who moved to Brooklyn in 1954, said they have enjoyed their life and cherish their four children and eight grandchildren. Lorraine thinks back and laughs at times during their courtship when they would attend local dances together. “He went with me to the dance one night I told him to sit at the other end of the wall or no one will dance with me so he went home.” The pair has had many adventures including one memorable motorbike ride along the Great Ocean Rd. “In those days girls rode on the back of motorbikes, we went down on the Ocean Rd on a new motorbike and we went over the edge,” Donald said. “Luckily it was a gradual decline, we didn’t go straight down. They pulled the bike back up with other bikes and we rode back home.” When asked to share the secret to six decades of marriage the couple agreed they did not know the recipe, but that they

The couple are well known in the community especially for Lorraine’s work with the Lorraine Bedella Seniors Centre in Altona North, after whom it was renamed in 2004.

Tip feud escalates By XAVIER SMERDON AN ESCALATING feud between a group of Wyndham residents and their own council has been taken to VCAT. Members of the Western Region Environment Centre, along with other Wyndham residents and landowners fighting against the height of the landfill at the council’s tip, have called for the council to remove the above ground waste. While the council was already making a submission to the court to remove a height reference on their planning permit, the residents used the opportunity to call for the landfill to be returned to ground level. Members of the WREC said

the landfill was bad for Wyndham. “We will not put up with this smelly eyesore and the stigma it will impose on our community for the next 40 years. We will fight the council and any other bodies that try to continue building waste mountains,” farmer Julian Menegazzo said. The WREC also started a petition to the State Government calling for stricter height regulations for waste landfills in order to protect communities from “the odours and visual intrusion that accompanies waste mountains”. Wyndham Council CEO Kerry Thompson said it was the council that initiated the VCAT proceedings to remove a refer-

ence increasing the landfill to a height of 100 metres. “WREC and nearby landowners requested to join the hearing and have formally rejected council’s position during mediation so therefore this must now proceed to a full merits hearing,” Ms Thompson said. “The request to reduce the height of the landfill by disturbing the mounds and moving the waste elsewhere presents concerns from an environmental perspective, particularly in relation to odour. Disturbing an existing mound would be like cracking open an egg and then trying to put the shell back on again.”

SHE might only be 11-yearsold but Jasmyn Brunato has already shown that she has some serious skills. The Wyndham youngster was given her first camera earlier this year after she fell in love with taking photos as part of a school project. Since then she has taken thousands of photos and uploads them on to social networking sites like instagram every day. She is rarely seen without her camera and her love of all things photography is now winning her awards. Last month Jasmyn was announced as a winner of the 2013 Young Australian Art Awards for a photo of hers that was submitted by her teacher at Bethany Catholic Primary School. Her winning photo was of her four-year-old brother Nate

as he waded in the water underneath the Altona Pier while the sun was setting. It captured his silhouette, the sun and the ripples in the water. Perhaps more amazing is the fact that she was able to capture

her energetic brother in a seemingly calm moment. Jasmyn said while she liked the photo she had taken, she did not think she would win the Australia-wide competition. “I thought it would make a good photo so I just took it,” Jasmyn said. “I wasn’t sure if I could win because there were a lot of entries out of Australia.” Jasmyn said she now has dreams of becoming a professional photographer one day and she would love to take pictures of nature. “I like picking the best photos and editing them and I like showing everyone what I’ve taken,” she said. “Every time we go somewhere I always bring my camera with me.”

Growing respect By XAVIER SMERDON WYNDHAM’S Sudanese population and the area’s police have built up a mutual respect for each other, and it looks like that relationship will only get stronger. Leading Senior Constable Richard Dove, who is the Multicultural Liaison Officer for the West, and President of the South Sudanese Community of Australia, Ambrose Mareng, caught up last week to talk about how far things have come. Late last month the police hosted a barbeque at the South Sudanese community’s meeting place in Wyndham Vale, attracting a large crowd of both law enforcers and Sudanese Australians. Leading Sen Const Dove said the event helped to bring both groups even closer.

“It was a feel-good experience to help us build on our relationships,” Ldng Sen Const Dove said. “I think there is just a perception that the police and the Sudanese communities do not get along, but the reality is that we’ve been friends for a long time. “Everyone in the Sudanese community right across Melbourne will have known about the barbeque, and it just sends another message to them that we are here to work together.” Mr Mareng, who came to Australia eight years ago said many Sudanese people had found it difficult to integrate in Melbourne when they first started arriving just over 10 years ago. “Life here is beautiful now,” Mr Mareng said.

“It has been hard and we have struggled. To come from no system to a very complex system has been very difficult. “Australia is great if you know what you want to do. If you only think about being defensive, then life won’t be good.” Leading Snr Const Dove said like any other group of newly arrived immigrants, the Sudanese community had experienced teething problems when they first started arriving in Australia. “They’ve been through those early stages, and of course some of them still need to feel like they belong,” he said. “We want them to feel connected to Victoria Police so that the relationship gets stronger and we don’t take backward steps.”

Ron Grelton, Air Vice-Marshal Mark Skidmore and Geoff Matthews get ready to celebrate Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI the anniversary. 111410

Up, up and hooray By XAVIER SMERDON MORE than 50,000 people from all over Australia are expected to flock to Point Cook next year to celebrate 100 years of the birth place of the Royal Australian Air Force. On 1 March 1914, Lieutenant Eric Harrison flew a Bristol Boxkite aircraft at the Point Cook airfield and entered himself into the history books. It was the first flight of an Australian military aircraft and signified the beginning of what would become 100 years of military aviation in the country. Exactly 100 years to the day next year Point Cook will once again host one of the most significant days in the Air Force’s history.

On 1-2 March 1 the Point Cook RAAF base will open to the public to host the official celebrations. On display will be a perfect replica of the original aeroplane that Lieutenant Harrison flew 99 years ago, along with 49 other aircraft displaying the complete history of Australia’s Air Force. The replica, which has only been flown once, took Ron Gretton and Geoff Matthews seven years to build and will be on public display for the first time next March. Air Vice-Marshal Mark Skidmore became the only person to fly the replica plane in September this year when he soared for about 1000 metres at about 30 feet in the air.

“As soon as I saw they were rebuilding this plane I said ‘I’m going to be the one to fly that’,” Air Vice-Marshal Skidmore said. “It was a real thrill to be able to do it. It’s just great to be a part of the history of this great place.” The Point Cook RAAF base is now the oldest continually operated military airfield in the world, making next year’s celebrations even more important. People that buy tickets for the event will receive free public transport to Williams Landing railway station where buses will shuttle them continuously to the air show.

Funds finally granted ALMOST 20 years ago ordinary Werribee residents heeded a call to show their support for Melbourne to host the 1996 Olympic Games. A group of local sports administrators and interested individuals set themselves an ambitious target to raise significant funds by building and raffling an executive home. The development industry donated land and a local builder, Keogh Homes, undertook the construction. Nearly $200,000 was raised but when Atlanta was announced as the host city

of the Olympics, the funds were distributed to local clubs and individuals on a competitive basis. Years after the original money was raised, the remaining $65,000 was finally able to be distributed last week. Former Sustainable Development Director at Wyndham Council, Greg Aplin, and Trevor Jago are two of the last remaining members of the Werribee Supporters Group, the team in charge of choosing where the money should go. Both men were at the Werribee Mansion last week to give $10,000 to the Australian Paralympic Council and $55,000 to the Werribee Principal’s Net-

work who will give the money to Wyndham students who need assistance to achieve their sporting dreams. Mr Aplin said the money raised was a reflection of how generous the Wyndham community was. “Werribee is well known for its love of sport and for community spirit,” Mr Aplin said. “The funds that have been distributed over many years are testimony to positive local people who volunteer their time to provide opportunities for the young people of the area.”

than Patterson said it was an extremely important project for the students to be involved with. “It gives them a sense of belonging to a community,” Mr Patterson said. “They are really engaged and really excited about it and they tend to really take on board what the project is about.” Year 9 Aqua student Coleen Caday said the project was a real eyeopener. “I really like this type of project because it makes us see the people who are struggling around the world,” Coleen said. “And it’s a good way to raise awareness, especially to people who are oblivious to what’s happening outside in the world, it’s a way of notifying people what’s happening and showing we can all help,” she said.

STUDENTS from MacKillop College campuses are working together to make a difference in the world. As part of the school’s Community Connections project, each year level was given a Millennium Development Goal to work towards, with the intention to help reduce poverty and advance human development in a range of critical areas by 2015. The eight goals represent key issues in both developed and developing countries, and aims to broaden the students’ concept of community to include global community. This year the Year 9 Aqua class took their own spin on raising awareness and funds for their goal which was to ‘to combat HIV/ AIDS, malaria, and other diseases’. The students rode an 8km course around the Werribee River Trail and raised money for the project which was then donated to Caritas to help towards achieving their Millennium Goal.

Finally, we’re ready to race By XAVIER SMERDON

Edwin Jup and Alex Hecker are excited about the fashions on the field. 111474 Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT

ABOUT 3000 people are expected to enjoy the festivities of the Werribee Cup this weekend with the General Manager of the Racing Club giving a “one million per cent” guarantee that it will go ahead as planned. Ross Kendell told Star live music, fashions on the field, marquees and, of course, horses, would make the day a community event to remember. While controversy has followed the Werribee Racing Club and particularly their signature event recently, Mr Kendell said he

was confident that was in the past. “It’s just going to be a great day for people to come along, let their hair down and catch up with friends before Christmas,” Mr Kendell said. “We’ve been ready for this for a long time so we’re confident everyone will have a great time.” Mr Kendell said one of the highlights of the day would of course be the fashions on the field which was being sponsored by Wyndham City Council, with ambassadors Edwin Jup and Alex Hecker also judging the event.

The Cup was originally planned to go ahead in November but concerns about the track forced the event to be postponed to this Sunday. Following glowing reports from jockeys and trackwork riders, Mr Kendell said there was no doubt the track would offer a great day of racing. “We’ll be having eight races on the day, which is just the perfect amount,” he said. “The track really could not be in any better nick.” For more information visit www.werribeeracingclub.com.au

SOUTH Western Melbourne Medicare Local is ‘Taking the Pulse’ of Wyndham and encouraging people who live and work in the municipality to have their say about health issues. Residents and people who work in the area can join the community conversation on Friday 13 December at Werribee Library from 10am to 2pm. SWMML’s Chief Executive Officer Gaylene Coulton said the aim of ‘Taking the Pulse’ was to give the local community a chance to have their say and allow SWMML to identify gaps in the health care system. “If people who work or reside in Wyndham City have something to say about the health and wellbeing services, then we’d like to hear from them,” Ms Coulton said. “The community conversations will allow us to gather a better understanding of some of the key issues that are affecting locals, including homelessness, refugee and migrant health, mental health and service access and coordination,” she said. Residents who are unable to attend are encouraged to take the ‘Taking the Pulse’ survey which is available online at www.swmml.org.au

Rail link on track By CHARLENE MACAULAY THE Regional Rail Link (RRL) project will be going full steam ahead over the summer holidays to take advantage of lower commuter numbers. The $4.8 billion project will reach a major milestone on 22 December with the opening of two new platforms at Southern Cross station and the project’s first section of dedicated V/ Line tracks, which means trains on the Geelong line will have a clear run to Southern Cross and won’t have to wait behind metropolitan trains. Following this, a construction blitz from 28 December to 19 January will see the next stages of the project begin to take shape, including: - The revamping of Footscray and Sunshine train sta-

tions, including new platforms on the Irving St side of Footscray train station; - The removal of the Anderson Rd level crossing; and - The demolition of the old Nicholson Street bridge and the installation of the new bridge. “With Regional Rail Link on budget and ahead of schedule, passengers are going to progressively start seeing benefits well before the project’s completion,” Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder said. “Over late December and early January, public transport patronage reduces by up to a half, and doesn’t return to normal levels until the end of February. “Completing works over this quieter period will help to minimise the effect on rail passen-

gers while making significant progress in a short time.” A combination of shuttle train services and replacement buses will operate along the Sunbury line while the works are carried out. Metro will also run an amended timetable across most metropolitan lines from 22 December to 26 January to accommodate the construction works. The RRL will create capacity for an extra 23 suburban and 10 regional services during each morning and evening at peak times, allowing an extra 54,000 passenger trips each day. For full details on all road and rail closures, maintenance, renewal works and information on replacement bus services can be found on www.regionalraillink.vic.gov.au or www.ptv.vic. gov.au

Operation Santa in full swing Bryce overcomes challenges By XAVIER SMERDON

By YASEMIN TALAT CHRISTMAS can be a stressful time of the year for some, especially those families in the community who are struggling. But with the Christmas spirit in full swing and with Santa on his way the perfect time for giving is upon us. UnitingCare Werribee and Target in Hoppers Crossing and Point Cook have teamed up to help support families in Wyndham who are struggling this Christmas. The annual Operation Santa is back this year giving locals the opportunity to be the Kris Kringle for someone in need. Volunteer Coordinator for UnitingCare Werribee Support and Housing, Grant Potter said the generosity of the community was invaluable. He said the donations from Operation Santa ensured struggling families and single parents had a gift to give to their children at Christmas. “Imagine not being able to provide Christmas presents for your children,” Mr Potter said. “This is the bleak prospect facing thousands of families this Christmas.” Mr Potter said it was amazing to see the community come together each year to make a difference. “The community really gets behind it and we get amazing gifts donated,” Mr Potter said. To donate visit a Target store and take a gift tag from the Christmas tree to make your

Yooralla, one of Australia’s largest disability services has been championing the employment of people with disabilities for years. In 2011 they set up the UCAN Café in at the Altona North Community Library where Bryce got his start. Since then he has been employed by Yooralla’s second UCAN Café in Williamstown, and life has never been better.

Operation Santa runs from

Monday 4 November to 23 December 2013 and aims to collect 100,000 gifts and $200,000 in gift cards to assist close to 60,000 families nationwide. For more information visit www.operationsanta.org.au

“It’s given me confidence,” Bryce said. “I feel better about myself and I’m proud that I can earn my own money. I’ve also made friends here.” The confidence Bryce has gained while working at UCAN Café has even been transferred to other parts of his life. Last month he entered the City2Sea Challenge where he walked five kilometres from Hamer Hall to St Kilda. Before taking part in the walk he needed get in shape and shed some unwanted kilograms. “I lost 18kg. And I reckon that’s pretty good,” he said. He covered the five kilome-

tres in 49 minutes, but next year he is planning to take it up another level. Bryce hopes to run the same distance at next year’s event. Tom Bevan from UCAN said Bryce’s achievements showed how much of a difference confidence could make in a person’s life. “Every member of staff receives full award wages. We focus on ability rather than disability in an environment where people with disability are challenged and supported to grow their skills and confidence,” Mr Baven said.

Raising some christmas cheer By YASEMIN TALAT WERRIBEE Primary School students put their own sweet touch to fundraising last week at their Ice-Cream Stall fundraiser. Students from Prep and combined 3/4 classes joined forces to hold an ice-cream stall, for the second time this year, to raise money for families in need at Christmas. All money raised at the icecream stalls were used by students last week to go on a toy shopping spree to buy toys and gifts for less fortunate children at Christmas. Teacher Ms Linda Perkins was proud of the students who

raised $2000 this year. “They absolutely love it, they really enjoy the thrill of organising something,” Ms Perkins said. The school’s fundraiser, which is in its fourth year, sees the collaboration of the school with Toyworld in Hoppers Crossing, where the students receive discounts to buy the toys which are then donated to the Uniting Church. “The students are very excited and just love to buy the toys which we then donate to the Uniting Church,” Ms Perkins said. “It’s a fabulous civic lesson for our students and the Church is very grateful for the dona-

tion,” she said. “Last year, before our presentation to them at our toy assembly, they had run out of presents. They actually had to turn people away however because of our stall they were able to re-contact families and offer a helping hand.” A sea of colourful and cool toys filled the assembly stage on Monday when the students presented the toys to the Church representatives. “We’ve always been a very generous school, even though some of our families don’t have much themselves they are always willing to pitch in and help out someone less fortunate,” Ms Perkins said.

Science students create big bang By CHARLENE MACAULAY THIS December, Victoria University is serving up science with a bang. The 2013 VU Science spectacular family night will showcase the Professor Science Troupe who will perform explosions and fire tricks along with other science demonstrations. The free show this Thursday will run for 70 minutes and will be followed by hands-on science activities for parents and children. VU Lecturer in Foundation

Studies Nick Athanasiou said the showcase was designed specifically to inspire students and generate a love of science. “It’s great for many families because often this is their first experience with science,” he said. “Their usual reaction after the first experiment is amazing. We work with the audience to give them a hands-on experience, which is much more appealing than traditional highbrow science events.” The troupe is made up of VU students studying for a de-

gree in science and education and the show provides them with teaching and presentation experience which is invaluable to their education. The troupe has been travelling to schools around Victoria and interstate for the past five years, promoting science through a range of amazing demonstrations. The VU Science Spectacular will run this Thursday from 6pm at the Footscray Park campus, building L, level 1, room 14.

BUILDERS SET TO WELCOME PERMIT CUTS

ESTHER LAUAKI

BUILDERS’ headaches could be relieved under new building standards announced last week. Builders will no longer need to apply for planning permits to build lower height boundary walls on new homes, thanks to a new Victorian Coalition Government initiative. The move aims to cut some of the red tape to save builders and families time and money, boost house affordability and create reforms that align regulatory standards with today’s building practises. Minister for Planning Matthew Guy announced in a statement that under the new reformed building standards, boundary walls of new homes or extensions will have further setbacks and greater heights allowed without the need for a permit. “The Coalition Government continues to redefine planning and building controls for Victoria by delivering common sense reforms that drive better outcomes. “These reforms will save time and money for builders, councils and Victorian families as they build their new homes,” Mr Guy said. Mr Guy said the new rules will be included into Victoria Planning Provisions and align the law with current building practices while cutting back unnecessary red tape. “This is about bringing our planning processes in line with modern building practices and expectations among home buyers saving everyone time and money,” Mr Guy said. The average height of a boundary wall allowed without a planning permit will be increased from 3.0 to 3.2 metres under the reform.

The maximum height of boundary walls is unchanged at 3.6 metres. Neighbours will be notified of any application to exceed boundary wall average or maximum heights, as per existing requirements.

The increase to boundary wall setbacks will allow for adequate fascia and guttering, and the boundary wall height change will enable builders to use ‘waffle pods’ for laying a concrete slab on the

ground promoting efficiency and reducing waste, meet homeowner desires for higher 2.7 metre ceilings rather than 2.4 metres, and allow the construction of garages under the same roof line as the house.

Awards FOR EXCELLENCE 2013

MASTERPLANNED DEVELOPMENT

winner

MARRIOTT WATERS VILLAWOOD PROPERTIES AND MARRIOTT FAMILY CREATING a genuine sense of community and place is the idea behind the Marriott Waters development in Lyndhurst. The joint venture between the Marriott Family and Villawood Properties is the winner in the UDIA Masterplanned Development category. The partnership has taken what was a flood prone problem site and a run of the mill development plan and transformed it into an innovative masterplanned design with interconnecting wetlands. Marriott Waters is now a highly

sought-after community, with many different housing choices for residents. The sustainable development includes 27 hectares of wetlands and parklands, recycled water as well as access to transport, education, fibre optic network, sporting facilities, retail outlets and a residents’ club. The site is located in a regional ‘low spot’ with a significant external catchment from the north, east and south. Creatively designed with extensive wetlands, there is a network of walking and cycling paths, playgrounds, picnic and barbecue facilities, unique

public art and sculptures, the exclusive residents’ only Club Marriott and the new Marriott Waters Shopping Centre. The design focused on achieving a network of roads, footpaths and shared paths to provide residents and visitors with safe, attractive and well-connected roads and paths linking the key elements of the estate. The vision for Marriott Waters was for high quality contemporary house designs and the design of the shopping centre precinct with its main street theory, complements the open space created by the wetlands.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF MORE THAN 250 LOTS

winner

MITCHELL’S RUN DACLAND PTY LTD MITCHELL’S Run is a development which successfully integrates with the natural landscape surrounding it. The site in Doreen is the worthy winner of the Residential Development- more than 250 lots category. The motto of ‘A Real Sense of Place’ perfectly describes the new community, which is characterised by picturesque views and informal parkland. From the entrance to the development, among parkland and river red gums, it is clear the focus of Mitchell’s Run is to establish an informal residential development with a focus on nature. Aboriginal scar trees, creek reserve,

undulating topography and views to the ranges have been retained in the development, allowing the surrounding landscape to provide the character of the estate. The developer, Dacland, has ensured that no residential lot is more than 300 metres from any number of the estate’s parks and open spaces and has been designed to link with neighbouring estates. Mitchell’s Run is pedestrian friendly from the front entrance to the network of quiet street and parks, and linkages are proposed with future developments to the north and south. A diverse mix of lot sizes (ranging

from 300 square metres to 2500 square metres) attracts a range of home buyers and encourages a wide range of building styles. Each home must meet a 5-star energy rating as standard from the commencement of Mitchell’s Run. The architectural styles are reflected in the objectives of the Mitchell’s Run Design Guidelines, focusing on diversity of materials and building styles. The estate is centrally located and is a key link for several north-south collector roads and public transport links for Doreen and surrounding suburbs.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT 250 LOTS OR FEWER

commendation

OAKTREE RISE BERNLY INVESTMENTS PTY LTD OAKTREE Rise estate is a unique offering in the property market, providing home buyers with the opportunity to build sustainable homes at the centre of an established rural township. Set in the picturesque suburb of Narre Warren North, the estate consists of 149 elevated residential lots, a boutique retail strip and community hub constructed astride t he restored Troups Creek and new Central Park. The estate also provides local retail, active recreation opportunities and sustainable transport options servicing not only new residents, but the greater community of Narre Warren North.

HIGH DENSITY

Prior to the estate’s development, there was no clearly defined town centre in Narre Warren North. The development was instrumental in the realisation of local planning policy set out in the Narre Warren North Township Strategy. It is these aspects and many others that have seen the estate awarded commendation in the ‘residential development 250 lots or fewer’ category. The estate was designed with a key aim of blending the development into the existing township of Narre Warren North, while preserving and enhancing the existing feel.

During the planning process, community consultation was held with local residents, council and the developers. The feedback from the consultation process helped inform the overall design of the subdivision, gained community buy-in to the layout of Central Park and shaped the successful relocation of the heritage oak trees, from which the site gets its name, along the Avenue of Honour. In recent years, Narre Warren has experienced strong population growth across all markets and Oaktree Rise has been well received, with a waiting list for future releases.

joint winners

WATERVIEW AND THE EDGE APARTMENTS

FIFTY ALBERT HAMTON FIFTY Albert’s unique design echoes the eclectic nature of the South Melbourne skyline. The High Density Development category joint winner is a 30-storey, mixed-use development which offers its residents a luxurious lifestyle in one of Melbourne’s most prestigious South Melbourne locations. Fifty Albert is a mixed-use development comprising 282 residential apartments, which range in size from 50.5sqm to 164.5sqm. This includes 84 one-bedroom apartments, 190 two-bedroom apartments and eight three-bedroom apartments - with two of the latter being double-storey.

VIEW APARTMENTS PTY LTD Fifty Albert’s apartments all feature luxury fittings including stainless steel appliances and designer European appliances in the bathrooms. The kitchen consists of timber veneer with stone benchtops and splashbacks, while all apartment robes feature a grey mirror finish. Hamton Property Group, the developer, is focused on selecting great innercity locations in Melbourne, and Fifty Albert is no exception. The building is located perfectly on the eastern entry to Albert Road from St Kilda Road, one of Melbourne’s most characteristic urban boulevards, within a rich and vibrant precinct.

WATERVIEW and The Edge Apartments defied all odds to be named joint winner of the High Density section of the annual UDIA awards, despite the initial opposition it faced. These apartments achieve a balance between density and liveability and capture both the city and water views. Each building entrance offers an expansive and well-decorated lobby area which creates an ideal first impression and adds to the comfort and liveability of these apartments. Throughout the construction of the apartments, developers gave huge consideration to the value of views from the towers. The layout and form strongly

engage views such as Harbour Park, Edgewater Lake and Jack’s Wood. It is conveniently located only a short walk to many Maribyrnong amenities. The site enjoys excellent pedestrian and cycling accessibility, with easy access between ’the apartments’ and key points of interest along Edgewater Boulevard. Extensive links along the Maribyrnong River are also a major feature of these apartments, including paths to Pipemakers Park and Highpoint Shopping Centre. Connections to the Federation Trail are located less than 100 metres down the road with a high quality bicycle track also close by.

YARRA POINT MIRVAC STRATEGICALLY located and wellestablished in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, Yarra Point apartments have been recognised for their excellence with a commendation award for High Density. Located on a 5200 square metre site, Yarra Point houses a diverse mix of bedroom dwellings and has sealed its place as one of Melbourne’s most elite waterfront communities. Following an eight-year break, Mirvac re-entered Melbourne’s apartment market with a bang when it developed Yarra Point apartments. The towers are now home to almost

38C AVENUE PROJECTS 2000 residents and in addition to its convenient location and unforgettable views of the city, the towers boast extra privileges such as a residents lounge, business centre, gym and herb and vegetable garden. Yarra Point is well connected to various popular precincts throughout the city, including South Wharf, South Gate and the East side of the Crown Entertainment complex. Throughout the design process of Yarra Point, a number of components were considered such as tower form, urban context and building footprint.

AVENUE Projects has touted 38 Camberwell Road as its benchmark marketing tool since its completion in May 2013, and not without reason. The building debuted on the market in 2011 and was sold to a mix of owner-occupiers and investors, with over 70 per cent of the apartments sold prior to construction in early 2012. The Hawthorn East development is situated on a prominent corner between Camberwell Junction and the vibrant shopping centres of Glenferrie and Auburn Road and offers 53 apartments over five levels. Each apartment enjoys high quality finishes, expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces

and an envied location. The design also includes basement car parking for all units to minimise the impact of parking on the site plan, with access via Auburn Grove rather than the busy Camberwell Road thoroughfare. Avenue Projects has also integrated disabled access into the building’s design while also using architectural variation to break down the length of the building in both streetscapes. In addition, the development has enhanced the public realm through maintaining the alignment of the Auburn Grove footpath and retaining the existing trees adjacent to the site.

205 GIPPS COMMON EQUITY HOUSING LIMITED BANBURY VILLAGE CEDAR WOODS PROPERTIES LTD BANBURY Village is an exciting new chapter in the remarkable history of Footscray. Property developer Cedar Woods has exceeded the local community’s and authorities’ expectations, in creating a vibrant village that is one with the surrounding community. The site was formerly used by the Olympic Tyre and Rubber Company and subsequently, South Pacific Tyres as its head office and factory, and presented an opportunity to deliver on state and local planning urban consolidation objectives - leading to the top prize in the Medium

URBAN RENEWAL

Density category, and a commendation for Urban Renewal. Banbury Village has established itself as the premier residential address in the inner west and has also been recognised by the former Department of Planning and Community Development as a notable example of industrial design heritage conversion. It features a major park that is unparalleled in the inner west, and key urban design principles include rear loaded dwellings on major thoroughfares to improve streetscapes, walk-ability and parking; strong design elements; and way-finding signage at key decision points.

winner

A 59-UNIT apartment and townhouse project at 205 Gipps Street Abbotsford that blends social and private housing has been hailed a resounding success by tenants and owners. Using a co-operative housing model, not-for-profit developer Common Equity Housing Limited invests profits from the sale of the project’s 34 private apartments to ensure its 25 social housing apartments are affordable to low-income tenants. The result is five storeys of high-quality apartments in three neighbouring buildings - the penthouse storeys tastefully set back behind a reinforced heritage facade of the former boot factory/warehouse. Deciduous trees in the complex’s landscaped internal courtyard shade the

URBAN RENEWAL

apartments in summer and allow more natural light in winter. At least half of the social housing dwellings are made available to people on the public housing waiting list. Six disability apartments were bought by the Transport Accident Commission and Summer Foundation. The rent is linked to income; residents pays no more than 25 per cent of their pension/ income on rent, or more than 75 per cent of the market rate for one and two bedroom apartments in the area. The private apartments were sold despite a saturated market of more than 1,500 available apartments in Abbotsford and resistance from buyers investing in a social housing setting.

commendation

ISLINGTON SILOS BLUE EARTH GROUP BANBURY VILLAGE CEDAR WOODS PROPERTIES LTD ISLINGTON Silos, a residential conversion of the former James Hood Malthouse and associated silos, in Collingwood’s iconic Islington Street has won the Urban Renewal award for 2013. The complex is protected by a Heritage Overlay in the Yarra Planning Scheme, and the statement of significance for the buildings attributes their historical value to their function and age, rather than aesthetic or architectural value. The Silos offer 21 three-bedroom apartments over 11 storeys. At ground level is a gymnasium and an apartment with a large terrace. Each of the 10 levels above provides two apartments separated by the central lift core.

Two impressive glass penthouses are perched at the ‘crown’ of the silos, creating the illusion of floating forms. The soft curves of the building feature large glass walls, capturing stunning views and lending an ethereal juxtaposition. The spacious floor plans allow for generous airflow and an enviable 360 degrees vantage, ensuring apartments are filled with constant stream of natural light. Although not within an activity centre this site is very close to significant concentrations of commercial, recreation and entertainment facilities along Victoria Parade, Hoddle Street, Brunswick Street and other strip centres. It is also very convenient to a variety of transport routes, schools and community facilities.

DEVELOPER Cedar Woods had a responsibility to ensure the values and features of one of the western suburb’s best urban renewal sites were integrated into the final design and benefited the local community. Banbury Village, Footscray, integrates seamlessly with the surrounding area, while also delivering a variety of housing to meet market expectations. To achieve this, Cedar Woods had to deal with, and manage a host of issues including: a harsh interface on three sides; the condition of the heritage buildings and the extent of the hazardous materials to be dealt with; and a range of

buyer profiles and the specific needs of an eclectic community. The feedback Cedar Woods has had from its customers has been overwhelmingly positive, leading to many referral and repeat sales. The developer believes this is of enormous benefit in the long-run with referral sales, positive local council and government relationships, a high level of staff satisfaction through taking pride in their work and – of course – an enhanced corporate reputation. All of this has helped establish Banbury Village as the premier residential address in Melbourne’s innerwest.

HIGHETT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT, WOLWORTHS (FABCOT PTY LTD)

DANDENONG LOGIS ECOINDUSTRIAL BUSINESS PARK PLACES VICTORIA AND MELBOURNE WATER DANDENONG LOGIS has transformed a contaminated, disused site into an environmental showpiece. The 154-hectare industrial business park has received this year’s Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Environmental Excellence award. The Dandenong Treatment Plant in Dandenong South closed in 1996, leaving behind highlycontaminated soil. In November 2005, the State Government announced a $150 million, fouryear land reclamation project to transform the 180 hectares into a bustling commercial and residential hub. The first land at LOGIS South, to the south of Greens Road, was released in 2009 and

LOGIS North land, between Dandenong Bypass and Greens Road, was first released in 2011. There’s a regional wetland for stormwater treatment, rainwater tanks, native plants and mature trees to promote birdlife and wildlife access to Dandenong Creek, Class A recycled water to every lot, solar hot water and natural ventilation, and mulch made from recycled shipping pallets. There are more than 20 hectares of open space for recreation and LOGIS is the first industrial development in Victoria to introduce T5 energy efficient street lighting. Posts feature twin lamps that activate when the roads are busy and reduce to one active lamp when road usage decreases.

AN EXCELLENT model for future mixed-use development, the concepts used in this particular site have not been seen in the Awards for Excellence submissions before. The emerging trend of apartments above the retail environment has been done well with a clear delineation between residential and retail. Circulation and access have been well handled

with the apartments having separate entry foyers and the loading facilities are entirely within the ground level built form. Rubbish zones were relocated to a concealed section and creating a landscape buffer to adjoining residences. Of particular note were the storage cages which, unusually, were located on the same floor as the apartments, with obvious benefits for residents.

MARRIOTT WATERS VILLAWOOD PROPERTIES VILLAWOOD has worked hard to redesign a very basic stormwater system with a ‘bottom of the drain’ retarding basin, into a well integrated wetland and floodway system. They have taken drainage from two catchments beyond the site and created a major feature of the estate which now forms part of a larger walking path system. Delivery of Class A recycled water was brought forward

through the developer’s negotiations with the local water authority. A temporary above ground tank was installed as a holding tank for residents during peak times until the supply of recycled water became a permanent facility. Over 20% of the site has been devoted to the waterways and parks, the wetlands significantly reducing the risk of flooding in the low-lying area.

While containing all the appearances of a rich, exotic and layered environment, Napoli Park is actually designed to minimise maintenance, for example galvanised steel roofing treated in ‘Liquid Rust’ paint creates a themed effect while being a simple installation. It features art by mosaic artist Davia McMillan, which sit comfortably in the environment.

Santa shows shoppers his sensitive side Hammer sends By CHARLENE MACAULAY A DIFFERENT kind of Santa Claus is coming to town. Highpoint Shopping Centre is offering kids with autism the chance to meet Santa in a calm and controlled environment. Under the Sensitive Santa program, Santa and his helpers are up bright and early each morning before the centre opens to the public to give 20-minute special visits to kids with autism. Prior to each appointment, parents fill out a questionnaire about their family so that Santa and his helpers are fully briefed on each child - including triggers, interests and what’s on their Christmas wish list. The program, which was piloted last year, was driven by Highpoint general manager Scott Crellin, who himself has a child with autism. Sensitive Santa is run in consultation with Victoria’s peak body for autism, AMAZE. Mr Crellin said many kids with autism were especially sensitive to loud noises, music, crowds and unpredictable situations, meaning they usually can’t wait patiently in a long line to see Santa. “I know how hard it is to create mo-

ments like this,” he said. “I am incredibly proud that our centre has pioneered the Sensitive Santa program in Australia and that we are continuing to build on its success in 2013.” This year, Highpoint will host 45 Sensitive Santa sessions until 21 December. Caroline Springs mother Jodie Reeves was thrilled to get a picture perfect moment of her sons Oliver and Charlie when the family went to see Sensitive Santa recently. Five-year-old Oliver was diagnosed with high-functioning autism in May. “This is actually the first time we got to see Santa, because he’s always been intimidated and a bit scared by him,” Mrs Reeves said. “Initially, he was a bit apprehensive, but Santa was fantastic and got him out of his shell and we actually got a Santa picture for the first time in almost six years. “It was really great, my husband and I were quite overwhelmed by it because it was a really big step for Oliver. “It was such a good Christmas experience for Oliver, and he hasn’t stopped talking about it.” The Sensitive Santa program is free and bookings are essential on 9319 3310.

A SERVICE station attendant scared a gunman away during an attempted armed robbery in Braybrook when he pulled out a hammer. Police are appealing for witnesses following the attempted armed robbery at a service station in Braybrook on 2 November around 10.30pm. The man, believed to be in his 40s, walked into the service station with a firearm and made demands for cash when another staff member produced a hammer. The offender fled the scene empty handed and was last seen running along Ballarat Rd towards Sunshine. The police described the man as Caucasian in appearance, 40 to 45-years-old and 178cm tall with a medium build.

He was wearing a black peaked cap with a red AC/ DC logo, a grey chequered hooded jacket, green T-shirt, blue jeans and white runners at the time. Detective Constable Cara Brockwell said the incident appeared to be a single occurrence. “This seems to be a single attack or incident there hasn’t been any other ones in that vicinity or that appear to have the same offender,” she said. “We’re hopeful that someone will be able to come forth and identify him to help with our inquires.” Investigators have released an image of a man that may assist with their inquiries. Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers. com.au

Cash plans for Christmas use the Amount Over or Under field to track how closely the budget is being adhered to.

THE holiday season is always an expensive time of year and the pressure on the family budget can almost get too much. The best Christmas is a Christmas that people can afford. Those who want to put their Christmas finances on track should apply a well-planned budget and a healthy dose of cost-cutting measures.

this figure as the overall holiday spending limit. 2. Set a spending limit for each area of holiday spending. Create a holiday spending worksheet then run through the list of holiday expenses gifts, decorations, holiday foods, in the first column, and set a budget for each area of spending.

4. Tweak the budget to cover any instances of overspending. Don’t panic if there is overspend in one of the categories, just scale the spending back in another category to make up for it.

1. Determine what can be afforded. Look over finances, and determine how much money there is for holiday-related purchases. Set

3. Track spending throughout the season. Keep a running total of purchases in the Actual Spending column of the worksheet. Then,

Some valuable tips * Big gift lists tend to lead to big bills. Whittle the list down to the people who matter most. Send Christmas cards to everyone else.

* It’s easier to spend money during the holidays, but it’s also easier to earn money during the holidays. Find ways to cover Christmas expenses as they arise so there is no need to play catch up later. For example pick up extra work or work overtime. * When working with a tight deadline it’s easy to overspend. Start Christmas shopping before the holiday decorations even go up, and there will be plenty of time to shop around for the best deals.

Try some games to break the ice at your Christmas function.

Party time for the office OFFICE Christmas parties can be awkward and boring when everyone gravitates toward the people they already know. However, the festive function is an opportunity for management to create unity among colleagues and ultimately improving interoffice relations. Playing games at the office Christmas party may seem cheesy and juvenile but it helps co-workers become more comfortable with one another and creates a fun atmosphere. Add humour to the party with some funny employee awards. Co-workers will work together to decide who is worthy of each prize and have fun joking about everyone’s quirks in the office. Write up and print off some award certificates on a com-

puter in advance, including one “for always being late to meetings” and “for never being in her cubicle.” Have co-workers nominate one another, and then proudly present awards to the workers with the most votes. “Who Am I?” is an exciting game that will get the whole office laughing together as they guess who their character is. Grab a handful of sticky notes and scribble down a famous celebrity or well-known character onto each one. Everyone gets a note stuck onto their back, and they must ask their colleagues questions about who their person is. The game ends when everyone has correctly managed to guess the character on the note on their back. Discover which person in

the office is the biggest film buff with a Famous Movie OneLiners game. It’s a quiz about quotes from well-known movies. Prepare a list of movie quotes in advance, such as “I’ll be back” from The Terminator. At the party, read each of them out loud and have everyone write down which movie they think that quote is from. For an interactive experience try a game of Employee Trivia. A few days before the party, send a memo to the office workers attending the party asking them to email a few bits of trivia about themselves. Trivia should relate to Christmas in this case. Create a sheet whereby workmates need to match trivia to the name of their colleagues.

Costume parties are the fashion FANCY dress or costume parties are a worldwide tradition. This year revellers may decide to host or attend a themed party which requires them to dress up. Here are some fun costume tips for the next festive fancy affair. Some people might choose a specific theme or period in time, such as colonial, pirate, regency and cowboy. Anyone who is invited to a fancy dress Christmas function should ask the host if there is a specific theme for

dress. Christmas costume parties can incorporate any choice of costume. You can dress as Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helper, a reindeer, Christmas tree or pixies. Santa is the obvious choice, but you can opt for anything else seasonal, for example a Grinch or a gift, a Barbie Doll or racing car driver, providing the costume is available or easy to make. Parties might be themed on the 1920s era of the gangster, where guests dress as Al Capone, Dutch Shultz and Jack Diamond.

A mol is the girlfriend or wife of a mobster. Guests attending parties that centre around the 1920s can use other accessories like Tommy guns, spats and fedora hats. Always choose safe and comfortable costumes for kids. Being the end of the school year there are many fancy dress events coming up for children including the school assemblies or end of year Christmas show. There are lovely ways

to dress small children for a Christmas theme, as lambs or fairies, angels or their favourite fairy tale character. For more generic themes they might choose to be dressed as sunflowers, bumble bees and butterflies. Be sure to pay close attention to comfort and safety. Always check that the outfit is free of any loose buttons, broken zippers or any other faulty accessories that may be hazardous to the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety. Fancy Dress for couples and groups

can play with the theme. No matter what the theme, guests arriving as couples or in groups may consider dressing to a similar theme. Famous couples is a popular theme to dress for like Bonnie and Clyde, Mary and Joseph or Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. At a futuristic themed party with the wife and kids why not dress up as The Jetsons. Collaborating with friends can make the experience more fun and costumes more interesting.

Olivia Newton John – she is just so inspirational to so many women. Liz Hayes – would love to hear all about her adventures behind the scenes with Sixty Minutes. Would love to invite Hugh Jackman, not only would he make good conversation, he’d be nice on the eye as well. And last but not least, my husband Peter.

Great cake A picture of the most glorious looking cake caught my eye in That’s Life magazine the other day and, on reading the recipe, I couldn’t believe how simple it was to make. So I whipped one up while staying at my mum’s place and it was so moist and crumbly and divine, we couldn’t stop eating it. It’s a great standby for afternoon tea when friends pop by in the lead up to Christmas, or serve it warm on Christmas Day with caramel sauce and a scoop of ice cream, as a delicious (but less time consuming) twist on the traditional plum pudding. It’s suitable to freeze, and as it’s an oil-based cake, there’s no mucking around with electric beaters or creaming butter and sugar.

WESTPOINT

As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@howdypartnersmedia.com.au

EASY APPLE CAKE 2 cups plain flour 2 teaspoons each baking powder and ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon bicarb 1 cup raw caster sugar (I used regular white caster sugar) 400g can slice apple pie fruit 2 eggs ¾ cup rice bran oil (I used canola oil) 1/3 cup each sultanas and chopped pecans (these are optional) Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius (160 degrees fan forced). Line a 22 cm round cake pan with baking paper. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and bicarb into a bowl. Add sugar, apples, eggs and oil. Stir mixture until well combined. Fold through sultanas and pecans. Spoon mixture into pan. Bake for one hour and ten minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool in pan for ten minutes before turning onto a wire rack. Dust with icing sugar, or serve warm with caramel sauce and ice cream. CARAMEL SAUCE: Place one cup each thickened cream and brown sugar and 60g butter into a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter has melted. Cook a further four to five minutes or until thickened slightly. This is the last Food Byte column for the year.

By ADEM SARICAOGLU TAYLORS Hill boxing sensation Jake Ellis has never had to work as hard as he has been over the past six weeks. Ellis has been keeping himself busy in preparation for ‘Once Upon a Time in Sunshine II’ - an event he’s not only organising as promoter, but also fighting in himself. Six days a week Ellis will get some training done in the morning before suiting up to run some errands for the promotion. After a long day of gym visits, poster runs, paying bills and ticket drop offs, Ellis then puts his gloves back on once more and resumes preparations for his third professional bout. “It’s just hard in the sense that if I was to promote, that’s all I’d do and if I was to only fight on the night then that’s all I’d do, and obviously I have my school and all that which is another added pressure,” Ellis explained. “But when you’re doing both it’s very hard. “You’re pretty much, from nine to five, dressed in nice attire going around doing promoting errands, and then once five o’clock hits you have to glove up and become a boxer. “It is very mentally draining and stressful, especially thinking that I’m trying to prepare for a fight when all this other stuff is coming through. But I’m sure it’ll all pay off.” So far undefeated in the ring, Ellis has developed a keen ambition to master the promoting game as well. Ellis’ previous event, his first ‘Once Upon a Time in Sunshine’ promotion, drew nearly 500 people back in August. While that night proved a raging success, Ellis hopes this time around it will be even bigger. “I was shy by about 30 or 40 people from the joint being full,” he said. “I pulled about 500 people, so there was a lot of real positive feedback from everyone. “It was by far my best promotion I’ve ever done, and that’s why I’ve actually felt confident enough to both promote and fight on the same night.”

Jake Ellis is getting ready to fight in his own promotion this Friday night. 104076 Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI Ellis’s fight will be the semi-main event of the evening, however his opponent for the bout has not yet been confirmed. “I don’t know who I’m fighting, which really doesn’t mean a whole lot to me anyway,” Ellis said. “I don’t really watch or do homework on my opponents anyway. I believe I’ll have an answer for anything that’s in front of me.” ‘Once Upon a Time in Sunshine II’ will be held at the Italia Club in North Sunshine this Friday night.

The Western Foxes recently won the Women’s Vic Bowl in convincing fashion over the Picture: MATHEW LYNN Northern Lady Raiders. 90209

Crusaders dominate grid By ADEM SARICAOGLU THE Western Crusaders Gridiron Club has never quite had a day like it. Last weekend the Footscray-based club provided for a clean sweep of Vic Bowl titles - claiming both the Junior and Women’s Vic Bowl championships in dominant fashion. “It was a massive day for the club,” Crusaders president Scott Hayden said. “To win two grand finals in one day - it was an amazing day for the club, and both teams did their club proud.” First up the Western Foxes women’s team, coached by Hayden, cruised to a comfortable 32-8 win over the Northern Lady Raiders.

Then later in the day in front of a very healthy and vocal crowd at Croydon’s Ranger Field, the Crusaders’ junior team completed the club double with a comprehensive 38-0 shutout of the Monash Warriors. “The juniors have been dominant all year,” Hayden said. “They had one blip on their radar when they dropped their last game of the season. “But then they rebounded strongly in the semi-final and won 60-0 and then came back in the grand final and just killed it.” In one day of football the club almost doubled its trophy count - adding to the Crusaders’ three senior men’s titles. Hayden told Star these latest triumphs provided for one of

the most significant days in the club’s history. “It’s right up there,” he said. “When you talk the biggest days for the club, you’re talking like 1999, when we won our first senior men’s grand final, 2000 when we went back-toback and then in 2007 where we went undefeated. “But this day is right up there with those three, I reckon.” The Crusaders’ senior men’s team finished fifth earlier in the year with a 7-5 record under coach Kriss Guidotti, and will be looking to improve on that record when the 2014 season kicks off next year. Pre-season training will commence in late January at the club’s Henry Turner Reserve base.

They’re top Dogs

SUNSHINE head coach Brett Jacobs has been appointed coach of the WRFL’s senior representative squad for the 2014 Victoria Metro Championships. Named as the 2013 WRFL Division One Team of the Year coach earlier this season, Jacobs will lead the WRFL in the first metropolitan senior interleague carnival since 1999. Ranked fifth in Melbourne’s six senior metropolitan leagues by AFL Victoria, the WRFL will take on the sixth seeded Southern Football League (SFL) in the carnival’s main event on Saturday 29 March at Visy Park. Jacobs is confident the league is well placed to move up the scales in years to come. “There’s not really a lot separating the top from the bottom, so I’m comfortable with us sitting in fifth place as it’s a great spring board for us to show the other league’s what we have to offer and hopefully we can move up the rankings in the next few years,” he said. POINT Cook remains on top of the ladder in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s West B1 competition despite suffering an outright loss to Deer Park Ardeer at John McLeod Reserve on Saturday. In a game that severely lacked any form of decent batting, Point Cook failed to capitalise on its first innings win, making just 28 runs in 16 overs for the final innings, needing just 46 for victory. After restricting Deer Park Ardeer to a measly second innings total of 51, all of Point Cook’s 11 batsmen failed to reach double figures. Meanwhile Footscray ANA remains winless and is still perched on the bottom of the table after falling to a first innings loss to Wyndham Vale at Angliss Reserve. Footscray ANA could only muster 70 runs in less than 50 overs before Wyndham Vale replied with a declared 7/134 in 43 overs. Wyndham Vale is fourth on the West B1 table.

Dean Russ led his side to two victories on the weekend. 93349

Brown hits back at knockers By ADEM SARICAOGLU HOPPERS Crossing coach Darrel Brown has hit back at his club’s critics, re-affirming his side is more united than ever. The Cats remain 10th with just one win to date in Senior Division Turf Cricket after narrowly falling short of victory against Brighton District at home over the weekend. Despite his side’s poor start to the summer, Brown told Star morale is still high down at Hogans Road. “With the guys, I like their fight at the moment,” Brown said. “There’s a bit of talk we’re not together. With cricket everybody sees things from the outside, but they don’t know what’s going on internally and so they make those sorts of comments. “But we have a pretty good team.” Brown has also been keen to emphasise to his group the VTCA season is still far from over. “The top order guys are just not

shorts

Jacobs leads Metro charge

By LIAM TWOMEY FOOTSCRAY walked away from the Premier Cricket Bush Bash round with two important victories to maintain its place at the top end of the ladder. The Bush Bash sees teams travel to a country location throughout the state and play in two Twenty20 fixtures on the day. Footscray’s first match came against Essendon in Port Fairy with the Bulldogs being sent in to bat by the Bombers and it didn’t take the batsmen long to find their feet at the crease. Despite the early loss of Dylan Kight, the combination of Dean Russ (21), Travis Dean (32) and Michael Hill (33) helped lift the score to 8/124 after 20 overs. In reply, Brent McMinn almost dragged his side to victory with a powerful 37 from 26 balls. The knock included three fours and two sixes. However, McMinn couldn’t get enough help from his fellow batsmen and the Footscray bowlers took charge with Essendon finishing at 7/116. There wasn’t much time to celebrate the win, with the Bulldogs’ next clash starting almost immediately against Prahran. Again batting first, the combination of Russ (32) and Dean (35) showed their talents to get the innings off to a fast start. After missing out in the first match, Kight also had a point to prove and was the pick of the batsmen on his way to 50 runs off 49 balls as Footscray posted 3/138. In reply, Prahran looked in trouble throughout its innings as wickets continued to tumble before an impressive lower order fight back kept the match alive. Sam Coates made 20 off 18 balls while James Miller blasted 39 from 36. Despite the late charge, the Footscray bowlers were able to maintain their nerve as Prahran fell five runs short. The two wins see the Bulldogs sit in outright second on the Premier Cricket ladder with an 8-2 win/loss record for the season. In another double-header round of matches this week, Footscray will take on Melbourne and Geelong.

getting starts, so come next week (away to Strathmore) we have to start winning,” he said. “But at the same time I’ve told the guys there’s no need to panic at all. We’ve just got to keep delivering in our cricket. “It’s as simple as that.” After a very promising start to the 2012/13 season, the Cats have only won two games in this calendar year, including their lone win of the current summer against last-placed Keilor in October. However Brown expects his young but talented side to get back on track in the second half of the season, beginning with the two-day Strathmore clash beginning this Saturday. “I’m expecting the second half to be a lot better, and come next week it’s a crucial game that we have to win against Strathmore,” Brown said. “They lost outright (to Bentleigh) but that’s not going to take anything away from them. “They’re going to come out and

is experience. “The guys are still learning their cricket and they just don’t know how to build their innings, but the morale is absolutely brilliant.”

POINT Cook’s 135 was not good enough to get past the Williams Landing Marshalls in the Williamstown and District Cricket Association’s A Grade Matting competition on Saturday. The Marshalls chose to send Point Cook in to bat - which in 50.4 overs was bowled out for that 135-run first innings total. In a close affair Williams Landing bravely chased down the runs, getting to 9/146 by the end of the 60th over. The Marshalls remain third on the table while Point Cook sits in sixth position. In other A Grade Matting results over the weekend, Caroline Springs got the better of Seabrook at Comben Reserve, completing an outright win by restricting Seabrook to 90 in the second innings. In 14 overs Caroline Springs got the job done, reaching 3/68 to claim the points. Other winners on the weekend included Williamstown Imperials and Melton Centrals, which beat Melton South Primary School and Wyndham Vale respectively. SPRINTERS dominated the Footscray Cycling Club’s Legends criteriums, held out at the VUT circuit in Hoppers Crossing. The annual event, held in honour of the late Harry Jones and Hugh Cram, as well as the club’s latest induction, Frank Zanatta The A Grade’s race was dominated by Footscray’s most consistent and talented rider of late, Dominik Dudkiewicz. The Target Trek rider has won five out of five races he has contested this season, as well as taking home the second club legends race in a row. “It is such an honour to win this race, because Frank (The FCC’s only living club legend Frank Zanatta) means so much to the club - he is a link to the club’s great past and it’s always good to see him and he is always cheering us on and be there to give young riders advice and a smile.” Following Dudkiewicz, Simon Hurn crossed the line second while Darren Martin was third.

Exum courted by the world Sunshine & Western Region Sports Club Inc.

Don Deeble

Rising

star By LIAM TWOMEY SPORTING fans around the world are starting to catch on to the talents of Western Suburbs’ local Dante Exum. The Seabrook resident and Keilor Basketball Association junior is touted as a top five draft pick if he decides to nominate for next year’s NBA draft. If not, he will have a host of college recruiters desperate to secure his services. However, Exum’s astonishing exploits on the court are coming as no surprise to members of the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club. The 18-year-old is one of hundreds of young athletes from the Western Suburbs who have been nominated for the club’s prestigious Don Deeble Rising Star Award which is sponsored by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club. Each month, one nominee receives

$1000 towards achieving their sporting goals while at the award’s grand final, the overall winner is given $5000. On top of that, two runners-up also receive $2500. Sixteen athletes were nominated from June 2012 to November 2013 and are all in contention for the upcoming grand final which will be held in January. Sunshine Western Region Sports Club vice-president Barry Watson is rapt with the standard of nominees the award attracts. “We all are thrilled that he (Exum) is continuing to climb the ladder in basketball,” Watson said. “What an extraordinary effort if he gets into the top five draft picks. Cecil (Dante’s father) and the family will be so thrilled.” Exum isn’t the only former Don Deeble Rising Star Award winner to be turning heads around the world. Point Cook’s Rachel Jarry secured a WNBA Title with the Minnesota Lynx this year while Werribee’s Jess Cameron is one of Australia’s leading female cricketers. “Rachel and Jess have been outstanding and have great careers ahead,” Watson said. “We all hope and wish them well. The Western Suburbs are producing

some outstanding talent and with programs like what’s happening at Maribyrnong (College), let’s hope we keep seeing these youngsters with these talents continue to come through.” Watson also highlighted the amazing contribution of Yarraville Club Cricket Club in providing sponsorship for the award. “Yarraville Club Cricket Club is unique,” he said. “What other club do we know of that would support such a great cause? “We know the parents are so appreciative of this support and with many athletes travelling the globe, the Yarraville Club Cricket Club contribution cannot be underestimated.” To nominate a junior athlete for the Don Deeble Rising Star Award, contact starsport@starnewsgroup.com.au or call 9933 4800. “We certainly encourage all athletes, coaches and parents to email their respective sons’, daughters’, friends’ or kids’ achievements (age bracket 13-20),” Watson said. “There are a number of ways, even if not nominated for a monthly award, that they can be helped. “Any athlete travelling and having to pay costs can be supported by our club.”

For the love of the game IS loyalty dying at local football level? I ask this because of a few events I have heard about in recent weeks. One involves a playing group getting the coach the sack because they did not like his style. Another involves a player who agreed to play for one club, who got him employment, then reneged when offered more money by a rival club. I believe he kept the job. Player power to this degree is not healthy for the game, when they can dictate terms, walk out on contracts and control the big picture at a club, it is akin to the lunatics running the asylum. Clubs that allow this to happen are going to pay the price in the future. THE Bulldogs made the news last week after making a few changes to the structure of its cheer squad. While I understand the emotive reaction from the long-standing members of the cheer squad the club has every right to take control of how the cheer squad is run. The cheer squad belongs to the club not any individuals. Gary, Lorraine and David have done a great job over a long period of time but it is not their cheer squad. They have not been sacked from the club. I no longer host the president’s lunch nor the best-and-fairest, which I did for over a decade. Look at the history of current president of the club Peter Gordon, he is a great example of putting his love for the club above anything else. It might be a cliche, but the club is bigger than any individual. I HAVE to say I was surprised to hear Ryan Griffen named as Bulldogs captain last week. I did a function with him on Monday night and he gave no indication what was about to be announced the next day. ‘Griffo’ is an interesting choice because to be honest, I don’t see him as a natural leader, but obviously Brendan McCartney sees something else. There is no doubt he leads by example on the field as he is one of the elite players of the game. In retrospect I didn’t think Matty Boyd was a natural leader either and I was wrong there, hope I am again. One thing Ryan does have is a very balanced outlook on life and a realistic view where football sits in the order of importance. He loves nothing more than getting away from the city and going fishing. GREAT to see two terrific football people appointed to representative coaching roles last week. Former Bulldogs champion Brian Royal will coach the AFL Vic Metro team to play the Peter Knights-coached Vic Country next year. The Metro side will be chosen after the Vic Metro league play off at Visy Park on 29 March. The WRFL team in that series will be coached by Brett Jacobs from the Sunshine Kangaroos who was named WRFL Coach of the Year. THE Rotary Club of Altona City has their 12th annual golf day coming up on Friday 28 February, at Kooringal Golf Club. The day is very popular so it is advisable to get in early if you want to play or sponsor the day which raises funds for Very Special Kids and other Rotary projects. For more details contact Charlie Montebello on 0412 257 723 or email charles.montebello@bigpond. com. The Rotary Clob of Werribee is also holding a charity golf day on the same date at Werribee Park and you can get all the information from Graham Roper ropergh@optusnet.com.au or 0403 437 349.

THE long and bitter National Premier League saga that has plagued Victorian football has finally been resolved, with Football Federation Australia confirming it will go ahead next season. The FFA stepped in to resolve the long-running dispute between Football Federation Victoria and a group of co-signatory clubs - confirming on Friday the go-ahead for the NPL nearly four weeks after clubs were told to prepare for the Victorian rollout at a meeting in mid-November. The agreement has also put an end to Supreme Court proceedings between the FFV and the co-signatory clubs. “The NPL is an integral part of our national elite player pathway and a hugely important reform of the semi-professional tier of Australian football,” FFA CEO David Gallop said in Friday’s statement. “FFV and its clubs have worked through many issues and agreed on an NPL model that’s now a benchmark nationally in many areas.” South Melbourne’s Nick Galatas welcomed the news on behalf of the clubs. “The clubs have always wanted Victoria to be part of the NPL in 2014 and now we’ll apply for licences, work as quickly as we can to meet the criteria and get on with implementation,” Galatas said. “The clubs are looking forward to being part of the NPL which promises to deliver outcomes that are in the best interests of football in Victoria.”

Green Gully celebrates its 2011 grand final win over Oakleigh in the now defunct Victorian Premier Picture: EMILY LANE League. 69919 Established clubs who snubbed the original FFV model for the NPL, including Melbourne Knights, Green Gully and Altona Magic, can now re-apply for the new league. Under the newly-revised model, the implementation of a potential two-division structure will depend on the number of successful applicants. As proposed by the clubs at

the November meeting, allocation of the successful applicants will be subject to their placing at the end of the 2013 Victorian Premier League and State League competitions. There will also be no promotion or relegation between the NPL and State League clubs for three seasons. However, NPL clubs will be

subject to promotion and relegation within a two-tier structure - if implemented. Other NPL requirements include the appointment of a technical director for each club and the implementation of seven under-age teams from under-12s through to under20s. By 2015, all NPL clubs must also field an under-17s boy’s team.

Seagulls sign young gun as recruit By LIAM TWOMEY WILLIAMSTOWN pulled off another recruiting strike last week as it continues to build an imposing list for the 2014 VFL season. The Seagulls secured the signature of Kane Lambert from the Northern Blues. Lambert is as one of the biggest off-season signings in the VFL with the star midfielder crossing over after winning the Fothergill-Round Medal as the most promising young talent in the VFL. He was widely tipped to be drafted in either last month’s national or rookie drafts but was overlooked. As well as claiming the Fothergill-Round Medal, Lambert was selected in the Victorian State Team, made the VFL Team of the Year, came fourth in the Liston Trophy and took out the Northern Blues best-and-fairest award. Seagulls football manager Chris Dixon was delighted to have secured Lambert’s signature. “He’s a quality character and a quality player,” Dixon said. “We were as surprised as anyone when he wasn’t picked up by an AFL club. Everyone is well aware of his talent at this level having been judged the most promising player in the competition and almost winning the Liston. “We’ll be doing everything we can to help get Kane on to an AFL list but if it doesn’t happen we’re hoping he’ll have a long and distinguished VFL career at Burbank Oval.” With Williamstown having already signed two players from the Northern Blues this off-season

Williamstown has signed Scott Clouston for the 2014 season. 105752 (Adam Marcon and Tim Currie) the Seagulls will need to reach an agreement with the Blues to get the deal officially over the line. Lambert will be joined at Williamstown by Scott Clouston, who is crossing over from Werribee. Clouston still had one year to run on his contract at Werribee however, the two parties came to an agreement which saw the deal done last week. Clouston finished fourth in

the Tigers’ best-and-fairest after spending the first half of the year forward and the second half of the season at full back. “We’re excited to have him (Clouston) and we think it’s a good fit,” Dixon said. “We were after a key forward and think that Scott can provide that for us. He has a great set of hands and a beautiful long kick so I’m sure our supporters will enjoy watching him play.”

Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT Werribee head coach John Lamont said the loss of Clouston would create opportunities on his playing list. “This is disappointing, but it gives another person at our club an opportunity, and that is what our club is about,” he said. “We want players who are committed, dedicated and loyal to the club, the team and their teammates.”

Tigers stay in top form By LIAM TWOMEY WERRIBEE continued its impressive form in the Victorian Sub District Cricket Association with a 156-run thrashing of Yarraville on Saturday. After making 7/255 on day one, thanks to a brilliant 122 from Matthew Dean, the Tigers wasted no time getting on top with the ball as well. Opening bowler Jonathon Burton dismissed Tim McRae with the score on 19 and from there, the wickets tumbled. Yarraville lost 7/27 and slumped to 7/46. Joshua Raymer and Daniel Janka tried to create some resistance at the crease with the pair making 14 and 31 runs respectively. However, there would be no miraculous comeback and when they were dismissed, the rest of the tail quickly followed. Yarraville was eventually bowled out for 99 in the 63rd over. Burton was the pick of the Werribee bowlers, taking 3/5 from an amazing 13over spell. He was well supported by Stephen Plumridge, who also took three wickets, while Heath Pritchard claimed two. Werribee remain undefeated in the VSDCA with a perfect 6-0 start to the season. In other VSDCA results from the weekend, Williamstown was defeated by Box Hill, Altona got the better of Melton and Sunshine came out on top against Mount Waverley.

Roadstar Tough but not rough EVEN though it’s tough on the outside, occupants don’t have to rough it in the cabin. The interior boasts a range of luxurious features for a comfortable ride. The Triton Double Cab is ergonomically designed which is important for those who spend a lot of time behind the wheel. There’s plenty of leg, shoulder and head room in the front and back seats to easily carry five adults. The Mitsubishi Triton has everything needed to get the tough jobs done. This dependable, Aussie workhorse feels at home anywhere you are - on a building site or around town. The Triton Double Cab’s long bed provides plenty of space for a range of carrying needs. The pick-up models are a huge 1505mm in length and 460mm in height so owners can load those bulky items in with no problems. The cargo bed has double-walled support structures to ensure long-term performance. Whether for work or play, Triton’s cargo bed hauls loads with ease. Inner hooks let owners tie down their gear securely while the single handle in the rear gate gives them easier access when hands are full. To provide essential protection in the event of a frontal collision, every Triton is fitted with driver and front passenger SRS airbags, while double cab models have side and curtain airbags as standard. The front seatbelt system includes pretensioners and force limiters that combine to minimise the potential for serious injury in the event of an accident.

The Mitsubishi Triton can handle what life throws at it. The hardworking Triton inherits the 4WD-handling heritage from a long line of Mitsubishi rally champions. GLX models incorporate an Easy Select 4WD system that incorporates 2WD High Range for high speed driv-

ing comfort, and two transfer modes to deliver superior traction for off road situations; 4WD High Range and 4WD Low Range. When added traction is required off the black top, the freewheeling front

differential enables you to shift on-thefly at speeds of up to 100km/h from 2WD to 4WD High Range mode. And Easy Select 4WD also offers a 4WD Low Range mode for conquering the roughest terrain.
