requests for comments but Cr Goodfellow said he took extra time off last year due to ill health and his role as a volunteer firefighter. “Yes I think it’s appropriate for councillors to take this much time off because you want to avoid burnout. I have not had a holiday with my family since I joined council in 2008,” Cr Goodfellow said. “Just because a councillor has taken leave, doesn’t mean they have

Cr Glenn Goodfellow taken it for recreational purposes. “Last year I had burnout fatigue and it took a bit of a toll on me. It was a wake up call for me to slow down. “It upsets me that people are quick to criticise councillors without knowing the facts.” Councillors Khan, Hegedich and Goodfellow are all from the same Ward - Harrison - leaving Cr Bob Fairclough, who is also the Mayor, to

represent that area of the municipality by himself. Cr Fairclough said he found it easier to commit time to council because he was retired. “I think it’s important to have people on council from a wide range of fields such as those with young families and those with businesses,” Cr Fairclough said.

amount allowed by the State Government. Cr Hegedich said she was required to take such a large amount of time off because three of her family members had fallen severely ill. She said she did not want to elaborate any further on her family members’ health but that it was of ongoing concern. Cr Khan did not respond to Star’s

THREE Wyndham councillors have taken a combined six months off but they have continued to be paid. The latest figures show that since January last year all 11 councillors were approved for a total of 254 days off, but three councillors - Intaj Khan, Glenn Goodfellow and Adele Hegedich - were absent for 187 days between them. The news comes as the State Government said it would crack down on councillors with the announcement of stronger powers for the Local Government Inspectorate. Councillors Hegedich, Khan and Goodfellow took off 77 days, 70 days and 40 days respectively. By contrast, councillor Peter Gibbons did not take any time off while Heather Marcus only took three days off and Gautam Gupta was only approved for four days off. Wyndham Council CEO Kerry Thompson confirmed that under the Local Government Act councillors were entitled to receive their ratepayer-funded allowance while they were on leave. “Also under the Act, Councillors are entitled to take a leave of absence, with no explanation required as to why the leave is being taken nor is there a limit imposed,” Ms Thompson said. “The Act also specifically states councillors are entitled to receive their allowance while on leave.” On 28 January this year the councillors voted to increase their annual pay to $27,514 - the maximum

Hillier view KEVIN HILLIER

Memo Plaza planners: drop Werribee name I LOVE getting your feedback and your thoughts on some of the things I write in this column. Last week’s piece on the new name for Werribee Plaza sparked some interesting comments. One reader thought it should be named Pacific Hillier. I can’t believe I did not think of it first, it’s perfect. Seriously, there really is a groundswell of opposition to the word Werribee - a view I share. Maybe just Pacific Plaza would do the job. Several readers liked Pacific Wyndham, and even Pacific Iramoo got a mention. There was also some feedback regarding the size of the Plaza and that elderly shoppers need to be looked after with rest stations scattered throughout the complex. I am sure that will be addressed. At the moment shoppers seem to be confused with the new intersection but I am sure that will sort itself out in time. One thing is certain it will be a major hub for our community and provide a lot of jobs and we really need that. SEEMS a pity that the Centenary of Military Aviation Air show and Weerama are taking place on the same weekend - 1-2 March. The air show program looks pretty impressive and will be held over both days of the weekend with action both in the air and on the ground. I am sure there are many local residents who don’t know about the existence of the RAAF Museum at Point Cook, let alone actually visited it. Weerama has kept its relevance to the community after a few shaky years, which is a credit to the hard working committee that this festival is still going. I hope both are a success and that the people of Wyndham support them. I KNOW I bang on about the standard of driving and some of the unbelievable things I see in our streets, but there can be no better place to see everything that is wrong with drivers today than during school drop-off and pick-up.

THE Sheriff’s Office is undertaking a second recruiting drive as it steps up efforts to action warrants across the state. Applications are now open for 12 new positions with the Sheriff’s Office. The latest recruitment campaign follows a highly competitive round of recruitment in June 2013. Nearly 650 applied during that time, with 11 successful applicants graduating from the 12week course in December. Sheriff of Victoria, Brendan Facey, said the latest recruitment drive came at an exciting time for the organisation. “We are enforcing warrants across the state, with a focus on technology and the sophisticated use of data to help recover money for the state,” Mr Facey said. “These recruits will increase the capacity to carry out targeted operations around the state.” Successful applicants will undergo a 12-week training course, which will include classroom and on-the-job training.

Lifestyle’s costly habits By XAVIER SMERDON POOR lifestyle habits are costing some Wyndham residents around $200 a month, or almost $2400 a year, on ‘lifestyle drugs’, according to a local doctor. Werribee General Practitioner, Dr Joe Garra, said patients with poor dietary and lifestyle habits could be on half a dozen different medications. “On average, they would take two blood pressure medications,

two diabetic drugs, cholesterol tablets and they might be on something for reflux,” Dr Garra said. “We’re looking at not much change from $200 a month for those medications. That’s about $50 a week, just on drugs for one person. But improving your eating and lifestyle habits can turn that all around. “A good diet, including vegetables, helps maintain a good weight, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in general and the issues that go with weight problems like diabe-

tes and high cholesterol. “I’ve had a lot of patients lose weight and they come off their blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetic tablets.” Wyndham Councillor Intaj Khan said a healthy diet, including plenty of vegetables, was a very cost-effective way of feeding a family. “Some people believe fast foods and processed foods are cheaper, easier ways to eat. But buying inseason vegetables, and keeping frozen or tinned vegetables at hand for

those busy times when you can’t get to the shop, is a healthier, faster and more affordable option,” Cr Khan said. “It’s recommended that adults eat five serves of vegetables daily, but just adding one serve a day is a great start. It’s easy to do. Simply add baby spinach, peas or another vegetable to a favourite meal.” “When you consider the price of medications, doctors, specialists and hospitals, the cost of an unhealthy lifestyle can be very high.”

Weerama dance THIS year’s Weerama Festival next month will include a new kind of kingdom - a republic of dancers from across the West. Dancers and dance enthusiasts have been training hard to join the Weerama Festival as part of Dance Republic, which celebrates diverse cultures through the universal language of dance. Wyndham Councillor Heather Marcus said the council supported Dance Republic through a community grant, and local rehearsals were being held through February in the lead up to the Weerama Festival. The Weerama Festival will be held on Sunday 2 March.

Tables turn in favour of our new card shark By XAVIER SMERDON WHEN Hoppers Crossing father Denny Lewis lost his job eight months ago he was not sure how he would support his partner and their two-year-old daughter. But Mr Lewis’ fortunes changed earlier this month when he won $130,000 in a poker tournament. The former traffic management worker was doing everything he could to avoid going on the dole and decided to try and test his poker skills against the professionals at Australia’s biggest poker tourna-

ment, the Aussie Millions Main Event at Crown Casino. After failing to win a place in the tournament, Mr Lewis approached someone with a ticket and offered to buy it for $7000, pus 20 per cent of whatever he could win. Little did he know that in just four days he would finish ninth out of 668 players and walk away with the mammoth sum of money. After paying the original ticket owner $26,000, Mr Lewis was left with $104,000 to spend on his family.

“It was a bit surreal,” Mr Lewis said. “I knew if I was the next person out I was going to make $130,000 but I also knew that if I could beat one more person I would win $170,000.” Mr Lewis said he honed his skills playing in the 888 Poker League at the Tigers Clubhouse in Hoppers Crossing. Playing against some of his poker idols and some of the best card sharks in the world did not intimidate the man who is not ashamed to say he came from “the wrong side of the tracks”.

“I knew I was in with a chance as long as I had a seat at the table,” he said. “It doesn’t matter who they are, you just have to take everyone as just another player with chips in front of them.” Mr Lewis said he would not be spending any of the money to continue playing poker, but he would instead take his daughter Taya to a toy store and “let her run wild”. The rest of the money will go into the bank and he said he hoped to put it towards a house for his family.

Watton St hoon caught By XAVIER SMERDON

A screen grab of the video showing a hoon doing burnouts in Watton St. 114864

A 24-YEAR-old Hoppers Crossing man has been charged by police after he was caught hooning down the main street of Werribee. A video showing the man performing donuts before travelling along Watton St with a large cloud of smoke following him was uploaded to social media last week. The maroon Holden sedan also had its number plates removed in the video. Senior Sergeant Damien Madden from the Wyndham Highway Patrol said the incident occurred on Thursday 6 February at around 10.45pm and the driver was caught a short time later.

Families Victoria and Werribee resident, Lisa Markovic, said the actions of the hoon were â&#x20AC;&#x153;brazenâ&#x20AC;? and dangerous. Ms Markovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Daniel was killed in a car accident involving a car being driven by a man affected by drugs. Ms Markovic said she was angered by the behaviour shown in the video, especially after her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally senseless behaviour and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the potential damage they could cause, not just to themselves but to other innocent people,â&#x20AC;? Ms Markovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really selfish act and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not considering the law at all.â&#x20AC;?

Police Inspector Damien Christensen was in the area when he noticed the smoke cloud and called his team members to investigate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To perform these kinds of burnouts on a busy street with other people in the area is obviously extremely dangerous,â&#x20AC;? Sen Sgt Madden said. The man was charged with conduct endangering life, conduct endangering serious injury, criminal damage, driving in a manner dangerous, careless driving and driving an unregistered vehicle. Sen Sgt Madden said police did not believe it was the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. He was bailed to appear before the Werribee Magistratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court on 14 May.

Werribee resident Lisa Markovic is a young achiever finalist. 114436 Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT

Humble young achiever By YASEMIN TALAT WERRIBEEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Lisa Markovic has been acknowledged for her invaluable community service and volunteer work with a nomination for a Victorian Young Achievers Award. The 28-year-old has been involved with Road Trauma Victims since 2006 and became the cofounder of Road Trauma Families Victoria and Vice President/PR media consultant of the not for profit charity in 2011. She has been successfully nominated for the Saward Dawson Community Service and Volunteering Award which recognises youth like Ms Markovic who are enthusiastically involved in the community and are passionate about making a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very humbling to be recognised, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I deserve anything for doing it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I think anybody would do,â&#x20AC;? Ms Markovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope it does show other young people that if you are passionate about something and if you have the ability to help other people you should do it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good and rewarding thing to do.â&#x20AC;?

SittingPretty

Countless families and communities have benefited from Ms Markovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, which includes giving personal support to families who struggle to cope with the grief of road trauma, and also working closely with community groups and organisations like Wyndham City Council and Victoria Police, to educate and raise awareness about road safety and trauma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is getting the message through to young people and getting them to make the right decision when they are out on the roads,â&#x20AC;? Ms Markovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very significant to me and my family because we lost my brother to a drunk, drug and unlicensed driver,â&#x20AC;? Ms Markovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has really had a huge impact on our lives; our lives will never be the same with him gone,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought it was important to share our story and experience with others; to help other people not end up in the same situation as we have.â&#x20AC;? Finalists will be presented and winners announced at an Awards Gala Presentation Dinner in May.

Pedestrian killed By XAVIER SMERDON POLICE are investigating the cause of a fatal crash in Little River last week which claimed the life of a male pedestrian. In the early hours of Sunday 9 February it is believed a bus was travelling outbound on the Princes Freeway, towards Geelong, when a dispute between passengers occurred. A Victoria Police spokesperson said three men believed to

be involved in the dispute exited the bus when it pulled over to the side of the road. “The trio began walking along the freeway when it appears another dispute took place,” the spokesperson said. “One of the men crossed onto the wrong side of the road and was struck by a blue sedan, which was travelling inbound on the freeway.” The man, who is yet to be

A scene from the worst fires to effect Victoria since Black Saturday. 114873 Picture: SUPPLIED

Our crews join the firefight By YASEMIN TALAT WYNDHAM’S fire crews were among the brave volunteers who helped tackle the worst fires in Victoria since Black Saturday last week. Just after midday on Sunday 9 February the Werribee Fire Brigade Volunteers were assigned to a strike team, made up of five tankers and a command vehicle, which responded to fires in Gisborne South and Riddles Creek. The crew saved several houses from burning and even rescued a man trapped in a home. Deputy Group Officer Damien Milloy, who was the strike team leader, was at the

scene on Sunday afternoon where he and his team worked from midday to midnight helping protect homes from the fires. “I guess the biggest challenge was the speed in which the fires were moving,” Mr Milloy said. “Also the area we were working in had a number of hilly terrains and a number of gullies. “As the fire comes uphill it travels very fast and it gets extra speed, so working in that undulating area the speed of the fire was quite vast.” Mr Milloy said the team also assisted residents who stayed back to protect their homes, giving them much needed sup-

port. “In the area we were we didn’t lose any structures, so no houses or properties were lost,” Mr Milloy said. Round the clock firefighting operations in different fire effected areas continued throughout the week, with volunteers working tirelessly to protect properties and people. Several Wyndham brigades made up the Strike team 1401, including Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Truganina and Point Cook. While the crews were away from home base other volunteers continued to provide fire and rescue protection to the Wyndham community.

Cloud over club By XAVIER SMERDON THE Werribee Region U3A provides courses ranging from yoga to Australian history for Wyndham’s senior residents. President of the group, Brian Beck, told Star the classes helped people keep their minds and bodies active. But recently they were informed that they would no longer be receiving as many subsidies as they used to help them pay for the rental of council-owned rooms in which they hold their classes. “The council used to give us three rebates a year to help us pay for the venues but at the beginning of this year we found out that we would only receive

one rebate,” Mr Beck said. “We’ve been told they are now reviewing how many rebates we will receive but this won’t be completed until June, so until then everything is up in the air.” Mr Beck said the club had been struggling since 2012 and last year they were required to raise their membership fees from $25 to $40, leading to a drop in membership numbers. Wyndham Council CEO Kerry Thompson said a review into community centres had been undertaken last year. “The review found U3A were using a number of community centres, under a number of different funding and other

arrangements. U3A had been receiving a subsidy for the use of one facility, but this had then been applied to more than one centre, which is not current policy, and they were being charged a rate lower than they were eligible for,” Ms Thompson said. “From the beginning of the 2014-2015 financial year, U3A will pay the ‘community benefit’ rate for their room bookings, which is the same as any other, similar organisation. “The impact on U3A has been discussed with them and the group have been given 6 months notice to plan for the change.”

A HOPPERS Crossing woman is hoping to be crowned the winner of a beauty pageant and head to the USA to represent Australia. Laura Bradley moved to Wyndham Vale from Ireland when she was 14-years-old. She is now living in Hoppers Crossing where she works as a dental nurse. Ms Bradley entered the Miss Galaxy Pageant last year and reached the State Finals, but this year, she was hoping to take it all the way. “As soon as I entered the pageant and saw what it was

like I loved it and I thought this is what I was born to do,” Ms Bradley said. “This year I’ve got a bit more knowledge up my sleeve. Last year was all about learning but this year I just want to achieve something.” As part of competing in the pageants, Ms Bradley has been required to undertake charity work, using her skills as a dental nurse to provide care to indigenous people in a remote area of the Northern Territory. She said people who have never been to a pageant might be surprised at how different it is to what they expect. “The thing that I was most

surprised by was how different all the people competing are,” she said. “I expected them all to be really tall blonde girls who are just glittered out to the max, but they are just really genuine people. “They’re all different heights, nationalities and they are all just so beautiful in their own ways.” Ms Bradley has been announced as a finalist for Victoria and will compete in the Miss Galaxy Pageant in April this year.

Locks off for Kim and Karen By YASEMIN TALAT HOPPERS CROSSING sisters Kim and Karen will be shaving off their long, black locks this March for the Leukaemia Foundation’s annual World’s Greatest Shave fund-raiser. The sisters will be taking to the shaver and scissors in support of their mother Jessica Escoton who was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic syndrome, a bone marrow disorder, last year in March. “My Mum is a nurse, she’s always been a caring person who has been there to help others and she inspired us to help out and raise money for those who are affected by leukaemia,”

Kim said. “It will be in honour for her,” she said. The 19-year-old student has put a hold to her studies this year to support and care for her mother and shaving her hair is just another way of showing her unlimited support for her mum. Mum Jessica will be undergoing her treatment in the coming months, which will also cause her to lose her hair. “My sister and I thought we can at least do this one thing for her to show her and others that we fully support what she is going through and we are here for her,” Kim said. “She will go through major physical and mental issues,” she

said. “This is just a little thing we can do just to give her that boost and that support,” she said. “My hair will grow back again it doesn’t really faze me.” The sisters have already raised almost $2000 in the two weeks since they registered. They will shave all their hair off at an event open to the public on 15 March.

Village is ready to rock By YASEMIN TALAT

Heathglen Village resident Lucy Howell has been a resident since the very first opening and will have the honour of cutting the cake at the official re-opening of the Village’s newly refurbished Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI community centre this weekend. 114665

IT will be an event of dancing stars and vintage cars at the Heathglen retirement village this weekend with the opening of the newly refurbished community centre. Village resident Lucy Howell, 93, who has been living at Heathglen since it opened in 1990, was looking forward to the re-opening where she will be cutting the official cake. “She’s very excited,” said Heathglen Village Manager Beverly Vagg. Ms Vagg said the new

look community centre was an important meeting point for the residents, who enjoyed a range of activities and functions there. “The residents are over the moon, they think it’s fabulous,” Ms Vagg said. “It’s where all the functions are held and it’s an extension of their homes, where they can join together to enjoy dinner, entertainment, activities - it’s the hub of the village,” she said. Wyndham Mayor Bob Fairclough will be there on the day to officially open the refurbished centre. The wider community is

also invited to join the day’s festivities, which include a Rock ‘n’ Roll dance show and a vintage car display. “Heathglen is thrilled to invite the wider Werribee community to celebrate the re-opening of our community centre,” Ms Vagg said. “It will be a great opportunity to meet our residents and see the changes taking place at our village.” The Rock ‘n’ Roll day will be held on Saturday 22 February from 2pm to 4pm at 2 Glendale Court, Werribee.

WYNDHAM residents are being encouraged to put their tag on the council’s graffiti management strategy. The updated strategy, which was originally adopted in 2009, now needs feedback from residents, businesses and community groups. Councillor Michele Wharrie said community consultation is a vital part of the strategy’s development. “Graffiti affects the entire community whether it’s on homes, our cityscape or on public property such as playgrounds and public toilets,” Cr Wharrie said. “Since the adoption of the original strategy in 2009, Wyndham City has implemented a number of ways to address graffiti which have been very effective. These include providing residents with graffiti cleanup kits and paint vouchers and working together with Victoria Police, business groups and utility providers.” The Strategy is available until 5pm Wednesday 26 February 2014.

High hopes for happy Harper By YASEMIN TALAT EVERYDAY is a battle of survival for little Harper Warsow. The five-year-old Tarneit resident was born with congenially corrected transposition of the great arteries, which means the ventricles in her heart were on the opposite sides. Since birth she has faced a number of complications to her health but with the support of her family has been battling through. Not only does she have complications with her heart, but her fragile life is at risk due to an unknown condition affecting her neck and brain. So for Harper her battle is a constant spiralling journey, one which her mother Wendy Warsow says is full of risks and worries. “We have this constant fear every day, that if some kid slams into her or she has a football kicked to her head (at school) that could be it for her,” Ms Warsow said. At four months old she underwent her first big heart surgery and at five months old a surgeon from France was flown in to operate a rare surgery on her heart again. “She went into cardiac arrest and she had to go on to life support because she had a whole list of complications from the surgery,” Ms Warsow said. “When she was a baby we went through the worst time of her life,” she said. “We really thought we were going to lose her, doctors were telling us to turn off her life support.”

Results through Tuition

Limited Stock A fund-raiser has been organised to help Harper. 114739 Picture: SUPPLIED As a result from that surgery Harper now wears a special pace maker unit, which Ms Warsow says does all the beating of the heart for her. “If it were to get damaged, she would go into cardiac arrest and then pass,” she said. This year the preppie, who wears a brace for support, will undergo a complicated and high risk spinal surgery. Close friends of the family and the community have rallied together to support the Warsows by organising a fund-raising event ‘Ha Ha Ha for Harper’

which will be held in Point Cook this weekend. All proceeds from the event will help the Warsows with care and medical costs for Harper, including the purchase of a much needed wheelchair. “We are so honoured by it and we are so grateful for it because we can’t afford all the things that she needs,” Ms Warsow said. Donations can be made in the form of raffle ticket purchase via the website www.trybooking.com/EDEL

Councillor crackdown By CHARLENE MACAULAY THE State Government will crack down on errant councillors with the announcement of stronger powers for the Local Government Inspectorate. The Chief Municipal Inspector will have the power to examine serious misconduct of councillors and hand down stronger penalties for councillors across Victoria that breach the Local Government Act 1989. The State Government will also add two new offences to the Local Government Act relating to breach of confidentiality and improper direction of council staff. These offences will carry

penalties up to $17,323. The Inspectorate will continue to have the power to investigate possible breaches of the Act, such as misuse of position by a councillor, failure by a councillor to declare conflicts of interest, and failure by a councillor to lodge pecuniary interest returns. Meanwhile, councils will be required to adopt a code of conduct within four months of an election and to include a clear dispute resolution process and penalties for any breaches. “These reforms are being proposed because councillor conduct processes have been ineffective in some cases due to a lack of understanding of

Bindi Learmont is standing up against the ill-effects of sitting for too long. 114821 Picture: YASEMIN TALAT

By YASEMIN TALAT A NEW health awareness campaign was launched this month urging corporate workers to stand up and get moving. Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute is leading the ‘On Your Feet Australia’ campaign which encourages office workers to wear their sneakers to work and get on their feet on 19 February. Williams Landing resident and Range Designer at Homyped footwear, Bindi Learmont, was looking forward to tying her laces and standing up for the cause together with her colleagues. “We’ve got involved in the

On Your Feet campaign because we align with the anti-sedentary studies and campaign that’s spreading across the world,” Ms Learmont said. “And we promote moderate activity in our lifestyles,” she said. The team at the Homyped head office will gear up in their sneakers on Wednesday and get moving around the office. “It’s an opportunity to start some new habits,” Ms Learmont said. “I certainly expect that I will remind myself that it feels good to actually get up and walk away from the desk.” Homyped has been involved with Baker IDI for several

years, with Ms Learmont part of the team who develop a line of diabetes specific products. Professor David Dunstan from Baker IDI and his colleagues are conducting research into the links between chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and excessive sitting. He said people underestimated the value of incidental, non-sweaty movement’ throughout the day, with the average adult sitting eight to 10 hours per day. Everyone is encouraged to get involved by signing up at www.onyourfeet.org.au and donating to the campaign with funds going towards further research.

Children help to clean up By YASEMIN TALAT AUSTRALIA’S biggest community participation event is around the corner with schools, businesses and community groups all over Wyndham joining together to Clean Up the municipality. Clean Up Australia Day is a day when communities across Australia are encouraged to join forces and clean up local sites like streets, parks, sporting grounds, beaches and waterways. Point Cook Kindergarten has registered again this year, with the youngsters already out in full force to clean up their surrounding premises. Teacher Laura Chitera said the children were very enthusiastic to be involved and enjoyed learning about the environment. “I want to teach the children about environmental sustainability and what happens to litter when it goes down the drain,” Ms Chitera said. In the lead up to Clean Up Australia Day the children will engage in a range of activities and book readings teaching them about the negative effects of litter, especially to marine life, and why it’s important to keep Australia beautiful. Ms Chitera said the children were learning not to be ‘litter bugs’ and slogans like ‘do the right thing and put it in the bin.’ “I think it’s extremely important to understand and care about the environment from a young age,” she said. “So when they are older they understand not to throw litter and to care for the envi-

their fitness to drive. Failure to do so could have serious repercussions in the event of a crash. How can we know if a health condition should be reported? Easy, ask the doctor! It’s really important for drivers to know what effect their medicines may have on their driving. So drivers should always make sure to ask their doctor and pharmacist about how a new medicine may affect driving. As people get older, the distances they drive tend to go down. It becomes easier to forget about keeping the car in roadworthy condition. It’s a good idea to have a car checked over each year by a reliable mechanic. The beginning of winter is a good time to get this done, before the roads get wet and slippery. To help senior drivers stay on the road safer and longer, RoadSafe Westgate runs senior drivers expositions. The next exposition is on Saturday 1 March at Altona Civic Centre. Places are limited and bookings are essential. For more information phone Leigh on 9315 9464. In addition to the exposition, RoadSafe Westgate will be sup-

in 2015 onwards

Cadet unit’s future leaders stepping up THE cadet program at Werribee Secondary College began in 2009 with students training with 32 Army Cadet Unit in Geelong. The unit commenced training at Werribee Secondary College in 2011 and was officially inaugurated by then Prime Minister Julia Gillard on 4 March 2012. It is one of only three Army Cadet Units in government schools in Victoria, the others being Melbourne High School and Sebastopol College. The unit reached its capacity of 60

male and female cadets last year. It is committed to community involvement and is a vital component of the Anzac Day March, the Dawn Service and the Remembrance Day commemoration in Werribee. The establishment of the cadet unit in the school has added a wonderful opportunity for students to develop their leadership skills and personal development. Cadets also gain a wide range of skills which are normally outside the general school curriculum. These in-

clude bush craft and field craft, navigation, radio communications, marksmanship, drill and ceremonial activities, historical and cultural awareness. The unit has quickly developed a reputation for excellence and has added to the already established tradition at Werribee Secondary College of producing officer candidates for the Australian Defence Force. In past years students at the school have won a number of prestigious Australian Defence Force Academy scholarships and this continued in 2013.

CDT Sergeant Ramanjit Manpotra was successful in gaining entry into the ADFA to undertake an electrical engineering degree to become an engineering officer in the RAAF.

CDT Corporal Josh Pearmain was dux of the Senior Leaders course held in December at Puckapunyal, receiving a prestigious Silver commendation from the National Deputy Commander of the Australian Army Cadets.

The college is the ideal size to provide the programs required to meet the varied needs of students. These include academic opportunities which will take students on to university courses or vocational educational training, music and instrumental music through to Year 12, extensive sports and outdoor education programs along with a support structure that encourages students to strive for individual excellence.

Aside from the recently remodelled music and VCE centres, the college has a new science centre and wood technology centre and last year the synthetic playing oval was completed. Additionally, the college has prioritised ICT and extensive computer equipment and laptops are available for student use. The college is proud to say that all students in Years 10, 11 and 12 in 2014 will have their personal companion Acer laptop learning device. Other students will be able to access the fleet of laptops for all classroom activities. Much of this new laptop equipment has become available due to the Federal Govern-

ment injection of funds under the National Secondary Schools Computer Program. In addition, National Partnership funds have enabled the school to employ more teachers, begin the iPod trial at year eight, and create the Information Literacy Centre in the college library. Teachers and students also have wide access to electronic data projectors and/or interactive whiteboards installed in all rooms throughout the college. There are specialised areas for art and craft, home economics and textiles. Those who would like to inquire about the college programs can contact assistant principals Arlene Bailey and Kelly Panousieris on 9312 2900.

Upgrades improve learning experience STUDENTS and staff were welcomed back from the holidays with a new administration building creating a vibrant new entrance to Hoppers Crossing Secondary College. The building is just one of many improvements at the college over the past 12 months which provide an attractive and engaging learning atmosphere. Upgrades include extensive landscaping, resurfacing of basketball courts and construction of new tennis courts. All classrooms have been fitted with interactive technologies, allowing teaching staff to provide an engaging and differentiated curriculum to suit the needs of all students. The upgrades complement the $2 million Science Centre which was officially opened by then Prime Minister Julia Gillard in 2011. The Science Centre has allowed Hoppers Crossing Secondary College to develop educational partnerships with Victoria University and local primary schools helping students excel in science education.

Family roots run deep MOST country towns have families who have lived in the district for many years. Harold (Harry) and Hannah are fortunate enough to be descendants of the Richmond family who have been in Little River for many years, five generations, in fact. Harry and Hannah’s great, great-grandfather attended school at the Wurdi Yuang Primary School in the You Yangs. This was the school that was later to become Little River Primary School many years later. Harry and Hannah’s great-grandfather Thomas Colin Richmond also attended school at Wurdi Yuang. Thomas grew up and lived his life in Little River where he farmed on the Richmond family property in Edgars Rd. Thomas served as a councillor on Wyndham City Council for six years. Harry and Hannah’s grandfather Neil Richmond also attended school at Little River Primary School. By this time the school had relocated from the You Yangs and had changed its name to Little River Primary School. Some years later when Neil Richmond became a parent he served on the school council. He still resides in Little River where he has farmed all his life and now regularly attends functions at the school as a proud grandparent. Harry and Hannah’s mother Susan Bufton was the fourth generation Richmond descendant to attend Little River Primary School in the early 1970s and following in her father’s footsteps she is a current school councillor and a very happy parent of her two children. Harry and Hannah are very proud to be part of a family that has such a long association with a wonderful country school where learning is important and life-long friendships are made. The school is located at Flinders St, Little River. Phone 5283 1214 for more information.

FB How would you FB: ra your cooking rate sk skills? LM: Let’s just say LM w all have different we s strengths. I have o a couple of only m meals I would be h happy to have g guests over for. O Otherwise I am g grateful for Hotel 5 520! Thankfully my eight year old daughter Sierra has taken quite an interest in the kitchen (thanks to our nanny, Melissah) so I am hopeful we might get a good cook yet … FB: What is your signature dish? JC: I would say more a signature drink. I get a lot of demands for my Pina Coladas. Or my Dutch Babies: it’s an American breakfast. It’s sort of a cross between a pancake and an omelette. You normally put butter, lemon and

icing sugar on it. FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? LM: Alaskan King Crab Leg. There would only be room for the one course as I would over indulge. FB: What is your favourite food? LM: Besides that I have picked for last meal, sushi would be one of my favourites. FB: What is your favourite drink? LM: I can only pick one? Hmmmm. Red Wine. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? LM: Assuming my husband and kids are already accounted for … my parents x 3, sister and Russell’s dad. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? LM: Clean up as you go. That way you can enjoy more wine after dinner is served.

Brunch is served I’m always excited to receive recipes from readers, especially if they come with a good back story! So my sincere thanks to Food Bytes reader James Gyore from Altona for his quick and easy brunch recipe, which I’m featuring this week – tomato, cheese and herb tart. James says “I must confide that I’m dreadful. I invite people over with no regard for the state of the house or for what is or is not in the fridge, freezer and pantry. Time and time again, with great enthusiasm, I invite friends and family to brunch with little thought given to what I might feed them. The lawns needs mowing, the garden beds need weeding, there is a pile of washing that I’m trying to ignore, and being a handy-man, I still have not taken a look at the dryer which has been making odd noises for a few months now. But, it’s the weekend, and I very much look forward to seeing those I love, however infrequently. We’re all overworked, overcommitted and too busy for each other most of the time. So to hell with the chores, it’s the weekend, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen my friends and family. In my defence, with years of training and domestication, I do now have a collection of quick and easy go-to recipes for those occasions when friends and family are invited over to while away the late morning.”

TOMATO, HERB AND CHEESE TART: 1 sheet puff pastry 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 6 tomatoes, sliced 1 small red onion, halved and then sliced 1 tub Bocconcini cheese Salt and cracked pepper to taste Basil to garnish Pre-heat oven to 180C. Lay out the puff pastry on a baking tray. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over pastry. Top with sliced tomatoes and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until pastry is crispy and tomatoes hot. Tear up the Bocconcini with fingers and distribute evenly over the tart. Finely chop basil to garnish, before serving. Note: the number of tomatoes needed to cover the sheet of pastry may vary. Thanks James! Can’t wait to try this myself. If you have your own recipe you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au

Tigers on attack By LIAM TWOMEY WERRIBEE claimed the battle of the West and the six points after a victory against Williamstown in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association on Saturday. The two rivals squared off at Chirnside Park for day two of their clash, with Werribee resuming in the box seat. On day one, the Tigers posted 9/238 on the back of a classy 106 from Tim O’Brien and scores of 40 from Michael Freeman and 31 from David Wolfe. Needing 239 against one of the league’s strongest bowling attacks looked like a tough task on paper and it was made even harder after an early double strike. Williamstown lost openers Nathan Bratby and Nathan Hall in quick succession to be 2/7. However, after suffering a number of batting collapses in the first half of the season, it was a much stronger showing from the Seagulls’ middle order that kept them in the hunt. Craig Sheedy (29), Matthew Dervan (17), Brenton Hodges (28), Jonty Paulsen (33), Matthew Inness (17), Jordan Doyle (41) and Samuel Davis (17) all kept the scoreboard ticking over. The only thing missing was one big score to match what O’Brien was able to produce for the Tigers. With that lacking, Werribee remained in charge, claiming the final wicket in the 59th over with the score on 192. Heath Pritchard continued his outstanding season with the ball, taking 5/38 from 16.4 overs. It is the fourth five wicket haul for Pritchard this season. “It is always a good game with Williamstown and that Western Suburbs rivalry,” Werribee president

ANOTHER impressive batting display from Travis Dean has lifted Footscray Edgewater to a strong position after day one of its clash against the Camberwell Magpies in the Victorian Premier Cricket. The Bulldogs won the toss and batted first at the Camberwell Sports Ground and it was Dean Russ and Anthony Barton who kicked things off in the middle. The pair added 32 for the first wicket before Barton was dismissed for 19. That brought Dean to the crease with the middle order batsman’s confidence sky high after a brilliant century the match before against Dandenong. Despite a few wickets falling around him, Dean was never flustered as he again looked right at home in the middle. He went on to make 95 before being bowled by Matthew Whittaker. The score came off 231 balls and

shorts Love leads the way YARRAVILLE secured one of its best wins of the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association season following a brilliant run chase against Altona on Saturday. After batting first on day one, the A’s posted 217 on the back of a blistering 111 from Aaron Maynard. However, Yarraville’s Matthew Love set about evening the score on day two. Love made an equally brilliant 104 not out to guide the Eagles to victory in the final over of the day. He was well supported by Curtis Maguire who made 39 at the top of the order while Yarraville captain Alex Hewet contributed 21. For Altona, Lee Elmore and Peter Herrick were the only multiple wicket takers and finished with two each. The win is Yarraville’s third of the season and lifts the Eagles to 11th spot on the VSDCA ladder. A win for Altona could have secured the A’s a finals berth. In other results, Melton defeated Sunshine by five wickets.

Heath Pritchard took five wickets for Werribee on the weekend. 114869 Ivo Havard said. “We weren’t at our very best. There was some tacky fielding and some catches went down but we were able to get over them. “There were some really good signs. Heath again was very good and I think that is his third five wicket haul at Chirnside Park. “He has brought great experience

to the group and for him to have 30 wickets for the season is an absolute bonus. He has also brought a great work ethic to the group to demonstrate how you go about playing tough and competitive cricket.” The result maintains Werribee’s unbeaten run in the VSDCA with the Tigers a perfect 11-0. Williamstown are in 10th spot

his 14 boundaries put the Bulldogs in the box seat. Dean was well supported by Russ, who made 49, while Sunam Gautam contributed 30 after coming in late in the innings. After 85 overs, Footscray finished at 7/230 with Jake Haberfield and Hamish Winter-Irving the not out batsmen. As well as getting the big wicket of Dean, Whittaker was the pick of the Camberwell bowlers and finished with figures of 3/34. William Walker was the only other multiple wicket taker as he snared 2/37. When day two of the clash resumes on Saturday, the Magpies will need to chase down 231 if they are to claim their 10th win of the season. “I was really happy with the way the boys fought,” Footscray captain Dean Russ said. “The conditions were a bit tougher than expected. With the

It was tough going and for him to be able to work through that and be able to

score 95 was fantastic. He deserved five more runs. That allowed us to get to a total where we are in a pretty good position.” A win this week will ensure the Bulldogs remain in the top two on the Victorian Premier Cricket ladder.

PLAY resumed in the Williamstown and District Cricket Association’s A Turf division after hot weather ruled out all competition last weekend. On Saturday, West Newport was the big winner in the division, securing its place in the finals series after knocking off Williamstown Imperials in a one-dayer at Loft Reserve. The Imps were bowled out for 149 three balls short of the end of the opening innings before West Newport dominated with the bat in its chase. Ross Cassidy (56 not out), Josh Eason-Jones (44) and Peter Hick (37 not out) were all handy in the middle as West Newport got its target with relative ease, reaching 1/150 by the end of the 35th over. The Imps are now out of the finals race, while West Newport now sits fourth with a chance of snatching second spot in the final fortnight of the home-and-away season. Williamstown Colts was also a big winner on Saturday, beating Grand United by 50 runs in their top-of-the-table clash at Parsons Reserve. WERRIBEE City’s impressive rise through the ranks of Victorian soccer is finally complete, with the Bees confirmed to start in the state’s top flight competition next month. The former State League One club, coached by Nino Ragusa, was last week accepted by Football Federation Victoria into the newly-formed National Premier Leagues Victoria competition - due to commence in mid-March. Werribee City is the only NPL club from Wyndham and one of five clubs taking part from Melbourne’s West, with Brimbank participants Melbourne Knights, Green Gully, Sunshine George Cross and St Albans all accepted into one of the two new leagues. The promotion and relegation system between the NPL and NPL1 will be confirmed next week, along with the final fixtures for both the senior men’s and under-20s competitions. The winner of the Victorian NPL will play the Tasmanian NPL champion after the 26-round season. Werribee City will also participate in a number of NPL junior competitions - set to commence in early April. AFL VICTORIA has launched a regional search for the most talented Indigenous and multicultural footballers in the state. The Kickstart and All Nations initiatives give under-15 footballers from Indigenous and multicultural backgrounds an opportunity to fast track their football development through a highly enjoyable on and off field program. To be eligible for the All Nations Cup Squad, players must have been born overseas or come from a non-english speaking background. Players who impress with their skills and character at the regional trials will be invited to a high performance camp in April and could possibly win selection for the respective teams and compete at the National Indigenous and Multicultural Carnival in Coffs Harbour from 11-17 April. Tryouts for Indigenous and multicultural footballers will be held at Visy Park on Friday 21 February from 5pm until 7pm.

Rocci steps up for title bid on the big stage By LIAM TWOMEY

Hoppers Crossing’s Dinesh Daminda fields a ball against Brighton District back in Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT December. 111625

Cats out of finals race polage Darshanapriya took the order to task, claiming eight wickets to help dismiss the visitors for 51 in just 21.2 overs. The Cats had just two overs to claim what would have been a vital outright win, but could only reach 0/22. The result leaves Hoppers Crossing stranded in ninth place on the Senior Division table with just one match still to come for the summer, which will be on the road to Bentleigh beginning this weekend. Meanwhile in the VTCA’s West B1 competition, Point Cook remains second on the table after going down on the road to Barkly Street Uniting on Saturday. The host managed to chase down Point Cook’s 144 in a

tense battle at Maribyrnong Reserve, reaching 149 before losing its 10th and final wicket in the 68th over. Troy Semmens was more than serviceable in the loss, claiming 5/26 and two maidens for the visitors. Wyndhamvale is back in the West B1 finals hunt after claiming its second outright win for the summer, getting the job done against Kingsville Baptists at home on Saturday. Jonathon Ford (4/34) and Jay Dolliver (3/27) both proved crucial in the final innings of the match, helping bowl Kingsville Baptists out for 116, 34 runs short of victory. Wyndhamvale is fifth on the West B1 table.

HOPPERS Crossing fell agonisingly short of first innings points to be knocked out of the finals race in Turf Cricket’s Senior Division on Saturday. Coming into the second day’s play of their home clash against Old Mentonians, the Cats required another 150 runs with nine wickets in hand after finishing at 1/28 on day one. In the much cooler conditions from those of seven days earlier, Hoppers Crossing couldn’t hold onto its remaining wickets in pursuit of 178, falling just two runs short of its target in 68.2 overs. With plenty of overs still available for the day’s play, Old Mentonians embarked on a second dig but failed miserably as Hoppers Crossing’s Tawalam-

MADDISON Rocci knows a thing or two about performing on the big stage. The Werribee teenager was part of the under-16 Victorian state basketball team that won the Australian Junior Championships last year. Not content with just one gold medal, Rocci will be hunting for more wins when she attends the Australian Junior Championships again this year. However, what makes her back-to-back selection for Victoria even more impressive is that this time around, Rocci is a bottom age player and will be one of the youngest members on her under-18 team. “We played the tournament up in Sydney and I didn’t really have much of an idea (if I would make it),” Rocci said. “We have already started training. We train every Saturday and Sunday leading up to nationals when we leave.” The Australian Junior Championship will be held in Canberra in April. It won’t be the first time Rocci has demonstrated her talents in the nation’s capital with the rising star also attending two Australian Development camps at the Basketball Centre of Excellence at the Australian Institute of Sport. From those camps, the Under-17 Australian team will be picked. “I’ve been up there twice now,” Rocci said. “It is really tiring. We did two sessions every day for about two and a half hours. But it was really fun and a great experience to meet all the good players from different states. “There are 15 players left and we go back at the end of every month until the team is picked and then we go on a pre-worlds tour and then

Falcons in best form CITY West Falcons claimed the battle of the West in round one of the Victorian Netball League last week. The Falcons smashed VU Western Lightning by 18 goals to get their VNL championship title defence off to the perfect start. City West looked strong from the opening centre pass, scoring 14 goals in the first quarter to build an eight-goal lead. With their backs to the wall, the Lightning tried to rebound and closed the gap to 10 at the main break. However, in the second half, the Falcons kicked into another gear and secured the 52-34 win. “They thoroughly deserved their win,” VU Western Lightning coach Matt Hills said.

“They were much better drilled than us and won many more positions all over the court. “I’ve got to give credit to Casey Price (goal defence) and Emily Mannix (goal keeper). They had the better of our goalers on the night.” As well as a strong defensive performance, City West was also led by shooting duo Alice Teague-Neeld and Julia Knott. Teague-Neeld scored 27 goals from 28 attempts while Knott shot 25 goals from 27 attempts. For VU, Kate Thompson was the pick of the shooters and finished with 24 goals. “We will do a pretty thorough review on this performance,” Hills said. “It is really important that you do that early in the sea-

son to identify some of the key things that you want to work on. Particularly when, like us, you’ve got some new combinations. “The last two years we have lost our first game of the season so this is three years in a row. It’s not a good thing but not the end of the world. We will do a review and then we will dust ourselves off, pick ourselves up and be back working hard for training on Monday night.” VU is expected to have Amelia Hills back for its clash with the Southern Saints this week. For the Falcons, they will look to make it two wins in a row when they take on Fed Uni Ballarat Pride. Both matches are at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Wednesday night.

Breaking the footy mould GRASSROOTS football continues to lead the way in breaking the male dominated world of Aussie Rules football with more examples this week in the WRFL. Meredith Anguin was appointed to the WRFL board and Sue Thornton announced as president of the new Tarneit Titans Football Club. Meredith brings a wealth of international business experience to the board and a family history with local football. Her late father Ron was president of the league for 11 years and her mother Thelma was treasurer for a decade. Both her parents are life-members of the league. Sue has been actively involved at Hoppers Crossing acting in a variety of roles including time keeper, trainer, team manager and administrator. She faces a huge task with the Titans making their debut in just a few weeks. I wish both ladies all the best and hope to see more in the future. Chloe Watson was part of an impressive City West Falcons outfit last week. 103257 Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT

Sport THERE is a superstition in football circles that when a club changes coach, they will win the next time they play. But what is going to happen in round one of the Western Region Football League season when eight new Division One coaches start barking orders for the first time? With so many new faces, LIAM TWOMEY takes a look at some of the biggest talking points about the new crop of leaders.

Eight talking points for eight coaching changes Who is the most high profile new coach? IT is hard to look past Steve Kretiuk when it comes to experience at the top level. Kretiuk built a reputation as a tough as nails defender for Footscray between 1992 and 2003. After his career finished, he remained in AFL circles and coached the Western Jets for five years, helping a number of the West’s top talent make it to the AFL. Before taking on the top job at Hoppers Crossing, Kretiuk was also delivering opposition analysis for the Brisbane Lions.

Who are the familiar faces? This won’t be Marcus Barclay’s first stint in coaching a WRFL Division One club. Barclay was in charge at Albion in 2011 when the club finished the season on top of the ladder. The Cats went on to lose the Division One grand final to Spotswood. Shortly after, Barclay was replaced as Albion head coach by Mark Greenshields. Meanwhile, Jesse Smith joins Yarraville after a successful stint as a development coach at Sunshine.

Who are the favourite sons? For Aaron Tymms (Albion), Josh Russo (Altona) and Tom Langlands (Spotswood), their appointments only further strengthen a rich history that each has with their respective club. The Langlands name is synonymous with Spotswood. Tom played for the Woodsmen as a junior and his father Gavin is a WRFL life-member. Furthermore, his brother Will is the only player to have played in all seven of Spotswood’s grand final appearances from 2007 to 2013. Tymms celebrated his 400th WRFL match last year and captained Albion to its premiership win in 2010. Russo was also a premiership captain with the Vikings in what was the club’s first Division One flag.

Who has been busy already? With the season just six weeks away, recruiting and list management decisions have come thick and fast. Deer Park has farewelled league bestand-fairest winner Shannon Broadbent to the Goulburn Valley Football League. Travis Lunardi has moved from Altona to the Essendon District Football League. Former Hoppers Crossing captain Brad Murphy will coach the Melton Bloods. On the incoming list, Kretiuk has ensured that Hoppers Crossing will be tough to beat at the stoppages with former AFL ruckman Wayde Skipper joining the club. Last year’s Division Two best-and-fairest winner at Sanctuary Lakes Jessi Lampi has joined Yarraville. Lampi will line up with former Western Jet Daniel Burton. Over the bridge, Danny Jacobs will pull on the jumper for Port Melbourne under Jason Love.

Tom Langlands will be looking to take Spotswood to an eighth consecutive grand final this season. 80235_04 Picture: DAMIAN VISENTINI

Who kept their jobs? It is no surprise Marc Bullen was one of the two coaches to remain in his position after the 2013 season. In his first year in charge at Deer Park, Bullen took the Lions all the way to a premiership. But that could be just the start of the successful times at Deer Park with former AFL trio Brent Guerra, Bret Thornton and Ryan Hargrave joining the star-studded side. As one of the biggest improvers in 2013, Brett Jacobs will return to Sunshine hoping to build on the ground made last year. The Kangaroos jumped from fifth to third on the WRFL ladder and Jacobs was named the Division One Coach of the Year.

Who could be coaching a premiership? With great power comes great responsibility and with great expectations can come great reward. For Barclay and Langlands, that reward could be a premiership cup. Both new coaches are taking over teams that made the Division One finals last year, with St Albans knocked out in week one by Altona and Spotswood suffering its second onepoint loss on grand final day in two years. While the pressure to be at the top end of the ladder may be greater on Barclay and Langlands than their counterparts, the rewards could be well worth it. What about Division Two? The influx of new coaches wasn’t just exclusive to Division One clubs this off-season. There were also plenty of changes among Division Two clubs as the move into a three-division system approaches. The new batch of Division Two coaches are: Adam Borg and John Thrush (Albanvale), Michael Shepperbottom (Braybrook), Paul Growcott (Caroline Springs) Rick Munn (Sunshine Heights), Stuart Daly (Glen Orden), Shaun Borlase and Matthew Welsh (North Footscray), Trevor Davies (West Footscray), Daniel Mitchell (Tarneit) and Joe Larizza (North Sunshine).

Altona premiership captain Josh Russo has graduated to coach. 103729_05 Picture: DAMIAN VISENTINI 1119842-AM08-14

What can be expected from Werribee Districts? After crossing over from the Victorian Amateur Football Association, Wade Chapman takes the reigns at a Werribee Districts outfit that has bypassed Division Two and will go toe-to-toe with the best the league has to offer. In coming from the VAFA, the Tigers are a bit of an unknown heading into the 2014 season however, one thing is for sure, Werribee has been busy. Footscray VFL player Brent Prismall will play at Soldiers Reserve when his VFL commitments allow and former Werribee VFL best-and-fairest winner Ben Sharp is another marquee signing. The club has also welcomed back a number of former players including Tate and Shaun McCutcheon as well as Brent Morrow.

Take care with tyre wear IF drivers look after their tyres then they’ll return the favour. The most important thing to remember is to maintain correct tyre pressure to ensure good performance and safety. Why is maintaining the right tyre pressure important? Underinflated tyres wear out faster as they can overheat, have increased rolling resistance and can require more fuel to maintain the speed.

Over-inflated tyres can lead to poor vehicle handling on the road. Both over and under-inflated tyres suffer more damage than those with the correct pressure and need to be replaced more regularly. Correct tyre pressures help to maintain optimum fuel efficiency. This can have a direct impact

on the environment in terms of CO2 emissions. National Tyres can help provide information on the recommended tyre pressure for vehicles. Things to remember: Use an accurate tyre pressure gauge, don’t just look at the tyre - appearances can be deceiving.

Check the spare and ensure that the spare is serviceable and roadworthy. Tyre pressures should be checked roughly every two to four weeks. It is normal for tyres to slowly lose air over time. Tyre pressures should be checked and set when the tyres are cold not after a long road trip because heat will temporarily raise the pressure. The correct tyre pressure for the vehicle should be listed in the vehicle handbook that is usually kept in the glove box. Too much or too little pressure can be dangerous. Tyre failure at high speeds can have tragic consequences. Any sort of damage on a tyre should be inspected by a specialist. Although the minimum tread pattern depth is 1mm or 2/32 of an inch, it is recommended that tyres are replaced before they become that worn. Above: Correct tyre pressure to ensure good performance and safety is vital. Left: Tyres must be checked and replaced to ensure the safety of your vehicle.

All models of Mitsubishi’s ASX benefit from a reshaped rear bench seat base for added passenger comfort.

Take a peek at the tweaks THE Mitsubishi ASX has been updated for the 2014 model year, gaining extra equipment, mechanical tweaks and revised prices. Four of the six available ASX variants are now cheaper than before, with the entry-level front-wheel-drive petrol manual down $1000 to $24,990 and the flagship Aspire all-wheel-drive diesel auto down $3000 to $33,490. Mitsubishi Australia has added 17-inch alloy wheels, a chrome grille garnish, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera displayed in a 6.1-inch screen to the three base-spec ASX variants, namely 2WD petrol manual, 2WD petrol CVT and 4WD diesel auto. The updated high-grade ASX Aspire variants, namely 2WD petrol CVT, 4WD petrol CVT and 4WD diesel auto, gain the MMCS infotainment system with seven-inch touchscreen and satellite navigation, as well as black roof rails and, for the 2WD model, a panoramic sunroof previously stan-

dard on 4WD. All models benefit from a reshaped rear bench seat base for added passenger comfort. Revisions have also been made to the suspension and the shape of the door mirrors, promising improved ride and handling and noise, vibration, harshness levels respectively. The ASX interior envelopes the occupants in comfort making it as striking on the inside as it looks on the outside. The aim was to get the balance between style, comfort and practicality just right. For instance, the ergonomically designed seats are as comfortable as they look, and when combined with the telescopic steering wheel, offer the ideal driving position whatever the size of the driver. The instrument cluster has been designed to give the driver maximum visibility, while encased within ASX’s gently rounded shape to blend seamlessly with the dashboard. In the back, ASX is surpris-

ingly spacious with more leg room than would be expected in such a compact SUV. Throughout ASX, the clever storage space design means there’s plenty of room for everything. ASX has the latest handsfree phone system technology with Bluetooth phone connectivity so occupants can make and receive calls at the touch of a button. Fine-tuning of the 110kW/197Nm 2.0-litre petrol engine has improved emissions incrementally, while the old 110kW/300Nm 1.8-litre diesel engine has now been discontinued and replaced by the 110kW/360Nm 2.2-litre diesel that launched locally last month. To test drive this vehicle, visit Werribee Mitsubishi at 17-25 Heaths Rd, Hoppers Crossing, from Monday to Saturday 8.30am-6pm, Sundays 10am-5pm, or call 9741 5300 for more information.

Kia Proceed GT shows Korean car-makers are giving their Japanese rivals a run for their money and challenging the Europeans. 114872

Kia creates new ground THIS hot hatch may finally change perceptions about Korean cars once and for all. It’s called the Kia Proceed GT and it shows Korean carmakers have all but leapfrogged their Japanese rivals and are now on their way to challenging the Europeans. It was designed by a Frenchman, engineered in Germany and is made in Slovakia which, incidentally, produces more cars per capita than any other country. There are three models in the Kia GT range in Europe starting at the equivalent of $32,990 and stretching to $42,990. Australia will likely get two models when the car goes on sale in March 2014. The local starting price is

yet to be finalised but bank on it being close to or less than $30,000, undercutting the enemy from within, the Veloster Turbo coupe from sister company Hyundai. The digital instrument display is like something out of a fighter jet. There is a choice of two images, a traditional analogue dial or a digital speed readout with gauges either side that show how much turbo power you’re using. It changes at the press of a button on the steering wheel. It has six airbags and a fivestar safety rating from Euro NCAP. Given that Kia has decided to leave all airbags in place, unlike Renault and Volkswagen
