Festive fun IT WAS all about fun in Werribee over the weekend as thousands of people made their way to Watton St to enjoy the Weerama Festival. With rides, fireworks, the Weerama Parade, craft stalls and sporting activities, there was something to keep the whole family entertained at the 35-year-old festival.

City crime drops By XAVIER SMERDON

stakeholders in providing a safer community has resulted in an application for funding, supported by Victoria Police, for increased lighting in Station Place and the surrounding area and consultation with licensed venues and shopping centres to help reduce crime and public order offences,” he said. “Wyndham continues to grow at a rapid rate and calls for assistance and other demands on our service have continued to increase. This makes partnership policing even more important for us to remain both proactive and reactive in a dynamic community.” Inspector Christensen said detailed information revealed the cause for a high increase in the number of assaults. “The information provided has identified that many of the reported assaults

have occurred between people known but not related to each other, road rage incidents and an increase in assaults on police and Protective Services Officers in the execution of their duty,” he said. “We also record and manage all reported assaults occurring within Port Phillip Prison. While we continue to focus on property crime, we will also focus on achieving a reduction in reported assaults.” Insp Christensen said Wyndham residents could assist police in driving down crime by taking simple measures. “I urge everyone in our community to continue to assist your local police by acting responsibly, securing your vehicles, belongings and houses and reporting to police anything that would assist in making for a safer community,” he said.

WYNDHAM has bucked the state-wide trend of rising crime with the number of offences falling by over three per cent. According to the latest Victoria Police figures, the number of reported crimes last year rose by 12,607 in Victoria, a rise of 3.1 per cent but fell by 3.3 per cent in Wyndham. The drop in overall crime came despite a 55.7 per cent increase in assaults excluding family violence, a 37.5 per cent increase in assaults and a 20.8 per cent increase in robberies. The biggest drop was in residential burglaries which fell by 35.9 per cent and theft from motor vehicles which took a 25.2 per cent hit. Wyndham Police Inspector Damien

Christensen said when the figures were viewed in comparison to the number of residents in the municipality, there had been a reduction in overall crime of 10.2 per cent. “It is extremely pleasing to record a 10.2 per cent reduction in total crime,” Insp Christensen said. “I am also pleased to see that we have continued to achieve a 19.4 per cent reduction in serious injury accidents. “Reducing the road toll and incidence of road trauma in Wyndham is significant in light of the increased volume of traffic and construction of roads within the area.” Insp Christensen said he expected crime to drop in some problem areas of the municipality thanks to new initiatives. “The work being done with our key

MY email has been buzzing again this week with various opinions on the name Werribee. It is an issue that will no doubt be debated for a long time, but let me finish it here, I hope, for this column. I know we are not going to change the name of the suburb. I also know that the perception of people outside Werribee will probably never change, while the likes of Sam Newman, Eddie McGuire and other media personalities fall back on the Werribee Poo Farm jokes on television and radio. I know that we will always be seen as the poor relations - tracky dacks, moccasins, tatts, on the dole etc etc. I also know that for the most part it is not true but it does not matter. I am not thinking about me, I am trying to help the next generation have an identity for this region they can be proud of. I also don’t want where you come from to be an excuse because that is a cop out. There are plenty of people from well-to-do areas who have achieved less than many in the West. I welcome your thoughts but we need to move on. LAST Friday my wife and I took her mother to lunch at Shadowfax Winery. We have been there a few times in the last few months and thoroughly enjoyed the service and especially the food and wine. We arrived at noon and were struck by the fact that we were among a select few there. Later it filled up when local Lalor member Joanne Ryan arrived with a party of 10. The truth is, it should be packed to the rafters every day. It is brilliant. My mother-in-law was so impressed she is looking at bringing her Inverloch Bowling Club down for a day trip. One of my wife’s work colleagues at Triple M, who has lived in Point Cook for a few years, said he had no idea there was a winery in Werribee. What does that tell you? We need to get the good stuff out there and Shadowfax is right up there. I AM very keen to hear from readers regarding the Weerama Festival this year and the Point Cook Air Show. Did you go? What did you think? The Airshow was a celebration of 100 years, so it won’t be back for awhile, but good to see ABC radio thought it an important enough event to warrant an outside broadcast.

Officer hurt after police car rammed By XAVIER SMERDON POLICE are searching for a man who rammed a police car in Hoppers Crossing last week, sending an officer to hospital in the process. Detective Senior Constable Lindsay Lee said the man rammed the policeman after he was caught speeding on Derrimut Rd in Werribee at around 5.30 pm last Monday. “A short time later (the vehicle) was discovered in the driveway of a house in Paloma Court in Hoppers Crossing,” Det Sen Const Lee said. “The police officer intercepted the ve-

hicle in the driveway, pulling up behind it. “The driver of the red XR6 Falcon has reversed into the police vehicle, ramming it, before taking off.” It is believed the unmarked police vehicle received around $17,000 worth of damage while the police officer received minor injuries. He was taken to Werribee Mercy Hospital and was released later that night. Det Sen Const Lee said the officer was left “shaken up” by the incident. “It’s a horrible incident to be involved in and it would have been very scary,” she said.

“Police officers are doing their job and they have a right to return home safely at the end of their shift. “Drivers of a motor vehicle have a responsibility to stop and to make sure that the other person is ok and to exchange details and unfortunately that hasn’t happened in this case.” Det Sen Const Lee said it was believed that the vehicle that was used in the ramming was stolen and the driver was displaying false number plates. The vehicle is expected to have extensive damage to its rear. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Our clogged roads WYNDHAM’S roads are continuing to crumble under increased traffic congestion with the latest report revealing that 21 of the municipality’s roads are over capacity. Wyndham Council’s 2013 Review of Traffic Volumes report was tabled at last week’s council meeting and will be used to lobby the State Government for more funding. The release of the report coincided with the launch of the council’s Get Wyndham Moving campaign,

which aims to move road congestion in Wyndham to the top of the political agenda. Councillor Glenn Goodfellow said traffic on a section of Leakes Rd had increased by 21 per cent. At roads located in Truganina and Tarneit, volumes increased by 17 per cent. “We need the State Government to act urgently and fund road infrastructure on our most congested roads,” Cr Goodfellow said. “It will not come as a surprise to many of our residents that our roads

are at capacity, especially during peak hours. “It is estimated that it takes three years between the planning process for duplications and upgrades of roads and the actual construction. In that time, Wyndham City will welcome another 20,000 residents and a further four roads are likely to have reached their capacity.” As part of the campaign local transport champions have been chosen to tell their stories that will hopefully show the real impact of traffic congestion. “Our transport champions use

different modes of transport and represent different parts of our community, including families, businesses and young people and their stories represent the traffic and transport issues many of us face in Wyndham,” Mayor Bob Fairclough said. “I’m calling on every Wyndham resident to get involved in this campaign to get the State Government to invest in our transport infrastructure.” For more information on the campaign visit www.wyndham.vic. gov.au/getwyndhammoving.com.au

Where dreams become reality By XAVIER SMERDON FOR 23-YEAR-old Storm Robbins, life with cerebral palsy has made the simplest tasks like walking and picking things up incredibly difficult. But that has not stopped the confident young man from wanting to achieve all that he can in life, and thanks to a brand new multi-million dollar facility, his dreams may now become a reality. Last week the Victorian Minister for Health, David Davis, opened the new $28 million Catherine McAuley Rehabilitation Centre at Werribee Mercy Hospital. The centre will help patients with serious injuries and conditions get back into the community.

The ground floor includes a gymnasium, meeting rooms, staff rooms, offices and consulting suites as part of the Hospital Independence Program while the first floor includes an inpatient ward with 30 multi-day beds, eight two-bed rooms and 14 single bed rooms for patients. Mr Davis said along with a $37 million mental health facility that is due to be completed in 2016, the pocket of Werribee along Hoppers Lane would become known as a major health precinct in Melbourne. “That is one of the concepts that we’re talking about more broadly – to have important locations like this with public services

with some of those key research services and also in the case of training,” Mr Davis told Star. “You want to be able to train key staff and retain them. “This is really important because what is required here is this subacute facility that is something that has not been on a sufficient scale and has forced people to go elsewhere.” As for Storm, he said he was looking forward to receiving regular treatment at the new rehabilitation centre. “This is not just going to make my life better but everyone else in the community that has a disability,” Storm said.

A TARNEIT woman has been charged with being accessory to murder over the death of a man in St Albans. Hieu Nguyen was found deceased in Majorca Street in St Albans on 11 May last year. A spokesperson for Victoria Police said Homicide Squad detectives continued to investigate Mr Nguyen’s death. A 20-year-old Keilor Downs man faced an out of sessions hearing last week and was charged with one count of murder. Crystal Portelli, 28-years-old from Tarneit, was charged with being an accessory to murder. She was remanded in custody to appear before the Melbourne Magistrate’s Court at a later date. A 29-year-old Keilor Downs man and a 25-year-old Taylors Lakes man were both charged with accessory to murder.

Library fund cut By XAVIER SMERDON TARNEIT residents could miss out on a much-needed new library after the Federal Government announced it was scrapping the promised funding for the project. In August last year the former Labor government committed $1.05m towards the Tarneit Community Learning Centre Library. But last week it was revealed that the Abbott Government would not be going ahead with the project. Wyndham Council CEO Kerry Thompson said with Tarneit expected to grow to over 33,000 residents by 2016 and 43,000 by 2021, the municipality desperately needed the new library. “Wyndham City is extremely disappointed with the Federal Government’s decision to with-

draw $1 million funding for the construction of a library at the Tarneit Community Learning Centre,” Ms Thompson said. “Construction of the library is still planned to go ahead as it is a critical piece of infrastructure that supports our growing community in Tarneit, however Wyndham City will now need to consider how to fund the $1 million gap left by withdrawal of this funding.” Member for Lalor Joanne Ryan described the funding cut as “heartless”. “This funding was to be used to construct a library designed to meet the needs of our rapidly growing region and the very new community of Tarneit,” Ms Ryan said. “It would have meant the City of Wyndham could continue to demonstrate to every family the value of literacy. And it would have meant a place to come to-

gether, particularly for some of our more isolated residents. “But because of the callous and heartless attitude of the Abbott Government, funding for this project had been cut.” But a spokesperson for the Federal Minister for Regional Development, Warren Truss, said residents would not expect a Coalition Government to fund a previous Labor Government’s promise. “Naturally, the new government will honour all of our election commitments but we are not tied to the promises made by Labor. No one would seriously expect us to be,” the spokesperson said. “Labor recklessly promised RDA projects all over the country in the lead-up to and during the federal election, in the full knowledge that they would never deliver them.”

Marina Arnold and her daughter Mellizza. 115734

Celebrate our tiny miracles By YASEMIN TALAT THE first Wednesday of April families across Wyndham will don the colour green in support of the precious lives of premature babies. Tarneit mother Marina Arnold hoped to shine a light on the hardships endured by premature babies and their families during the early stages of their lives, and sometimes for the rest of their lives. “I don’t believe a lot of people know what families go through or what the prems go through,” Ms Arnold said. “And how truly special they are, they are a blessing, a miracle,” she said. “It’s such a harrowing thing for both the child and the fami-

lies and we really need to raise support for them.” After complications to Ms Arnold’s health, she had preeclampsia, she gave birth to Mellizza at 32 weeks. Ms Arnold did not know what to expect when her daughter Mellizza was born premature. And she was not expecting to be separated from her daughter immediately and for the next two months. She said it was the hardest thing, and was left feeling like she did not have a baby. “I was never warned about having a premmie and what happens,” Ms Arnold said. “I ended up with post natal [depression] from all this.”

Now, with Mellizza almost 15 months old, mother and baby are doing well and want to support others and share information. They will be supporting the L’il Aussie Prems Foundation ’Wearing Green for Premmies’ event to help raise awareness and celebrate the precious lives of premature babies next month. “She’s amazing, she’s doing everything that she should be doing for her actual age,” Ms Arnold said. “I’m very blessed to have her as healthy as she is considering she was born only 1.2 kilos and 34 cms long- she was tiny.” For more information visit: http://www.lilaussieprems. com.au/wear-green-for-premmies-2014/

Flying high to celebrate 100 years of aviation By XAVIER SMERDON POINT Cook was the place to be over the weekend with Air Force aficionados from all over Australia and the world flocking to the RAAF base to soak in a bit of history. The weekend marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of military aviation in Australia when a Bristol Box Kite plane was flown in Point Cook.

Tickets were only supplied in limited numbers but 50,000 people still flocked to the landmark event. The event was planned to show how much military aviation had changed over the last century and ground and air displays were organised to reflect this. Everything from the wooden Bristol Box Kite to unmanned drones that have not yet been de-

ployed were on display during the weekend. Air Commodore Phil Byrne said it showed that Point Cook was the spiritual home of Australia’s Air Force and confirmed that the air base would remain a significant landmark into the future. While the oldest planes that made up the early years of the Air Force were a huge drawcard, the most impressive displays were those

performed by the ear-busting Super Hornets. The Bristol Box Kite that was also on display was a replica of the first military aircraft flown in Australia at Point Cook in 1914. No original versions of the plane have survived and the replica was built for the making of the film Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.

Weerama takes centre stage By XAVIER SMERDON

Spencer and Paul enjoyed some bike action, while Evelyn rode a pony and Annabelle tried some Pictures: KRISTIAN SCOTT makeup. 115828

WYNDHAM’S best known festival was held on the main street of Werribee once again over the weekend. Thousands of residents and visitors made the journey to the Weerama Festival, which has been held since 1978. The festival’s name means “to play” and that was certainly what people came to do. Rides, craft stalls, a performance stage, a youth sport zone, a kids zone and the Wyndham Youth Talent Competition meant there was plenty for everyone to do. The iconic Weerama Parade down Watton St was also a highlight of the event while fireworks, and music helped make it even more of a success. This year was also the first time that Wyndham Council and the Werribee Chamber of Commerce had hosted Picnic in the Park and Busk at Dusk as a preview to the festival. President of the Chamber of Commerce and owner of Tonia T Boutique, Tona Tribe, told Star she hoped the event would become a permanent fixture in Wyndham and that it would continue to grow in future years. The Weerama Festival is now the mainstay of Wyndham’s event calendar which includes events like Fromage a Trois, Live on the Lawn and the Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt at Werribee Mansion. It is the largest free community event held in Wyndham.

Riders of goodwill By YASEMIN TALAT A PASSION for motorbikes, coffee and raising money for charity will lead the path for a charity ride which will cross through Hoppers Crossing in August. The Black Dog Ride is a motorcycle ride event around Australia which helps raise money and awareness of depression and suicide prevention. The ride covers approximately 14,500kms in 32 days. And this year joining the adventure will be Yahava, the ‘adventure in a cup’ coffee shop whose founders have travelled far and wide to create the ultimate coffee experience for patrons. Yahava team members will travel on specially-built motor bikes equipped with built-on coffee machines along the same path

as the Black Dog riders and supply them with free coffee. Yahava Hoppers Crossing manager Chris Green was thrilled to be bringing his passions together for the charity adventure. “It is purely that the team want to make a contribution, we are all pretty passionate about the charity,” Mr Green said. Mr Green said it was a bit of an added bonus that the Yahava team members loved motor biking. “I think its appealing to a sense of adventure, you can go on your own personal adventure and support a charity,” he said. “And that’s partly why it works so well with the Yahava team because that’s what we’re all about, we’re about adventure.” For more information visit http://www.blackdogride.com.au/ or http://www.yahava.com.au/.

Tina Chapman says seeing patients make improvements through her care was all the reward she needed 115173 Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT

Tina’s caring for tiny tots By YASEMIN TALAT EVERYDAY that Tina Chapman goes to work she helps improve the lives of many families. It was 15 years ago Ms Chapman made the career switch that would see her helping hundreds of Victorian families, and especially helping reconnect mother and baby. “I wanted [to do] something a bit more challenging, and something that was going to contribute to society,” Ms Chapman said. Ms Chapman is a Clinical Nurse Specialist at the Mercy Mental Health Mother Baby Unit, a specialist eightbed/eight-cot service for women and

babies up to 12 months of age, who live in Western Metropolitan Melbourne and Western Victoria. It provides antennal and postnatal psychiatry, mother baby psychiatry, infant mental health and assessment/ management of psychiatric disorders in pregnancy and post birth. “I started reading books on psychiatry and I found that I was attracted to women’s health,” Ms Chapman said. She said there had been many highlights and achievements over the years but she was most proud of incorporating aromatherapy into her nursing practice. “That’s been hugely beneficial for the mums over the years ... it’s very effective,” she said. “It’s something they can

utilise to soothe themselves and provide comfort for themselves when they are not feeling great.” Ms Chapman said her job had also helped her be more emotionally in tune with her own two children. “Before I came to work here it didn’t really occur to me that babies especially had mental health,” she said. “Probably the most important thing that I’ve learnt is that your child’s selfesteem is the most important thing.” Ms Chapman hopes to continue to help families for many more years and encouraged mothers to reach out if they needed help. “We’re here and we’re here to help.”

Crash intersection fix TRAFFIC congestion in Tarneit is set to take a hit with the announcement that a $2.6 million contract to build a roundabout at a busy intersection has been awarded. Member for the Western Metropolitan Region, Andrew Elsbury, said work would start soon on the Dohertys and Derrimut Rd intersection with Universal Concrete Contractors chosen as the builders. Mr Elsbury said the intersection’s history of crashes and nearmisses made the roundabout an important project. “In the five year period ending 30 June 2013, there were 10 casualty crashes recorded at the intersection including four crashes resulting in serious injuries and six crashes resulting in other injuries,” Mr Els-

bury said. “To make this intersection safer and improve traffic flow, Vic -Roads will be undertaking a range of important safety improvements, including realigning the road, installing a roundabout and sealing the shoulders.” Mr Elsbury said the intersection’s importance to Victoria’s traffic network was also a consideration. “The intersection of Dohertys and Derrimut Road is the east-west connection between the Melton and Laverton North industrial areas,” he said. “This connection is becoming increasingly vital for commuters, with a current average of 20,000 crossing it every day.”

Samantha King, who will take part in the march for melanoma. 115694

Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI

March against melanoma By YASEMIN TALAT SUMMER may have ended but the sun’s UV rays are still shining and the skin cancer warnings are still strong. Over the weekend hundreds of Melbournians joined forces for the March Against Melanoma campaign. Each marcher, including Werribee resident Samantha King and her family, helped take steps to create awareness and promote the importance of early detection and prevention against skin cancer and melanoma. Ms King was diagnosed with skin cancer last year, and had the cancer re-

moved from her face but has again been diagnosed with a cancer found on her arm. “It’s one of those things that people are very lazy and blasé about going in to get themselves checked,” Ms King said. Ms King said people needed to be more aware about melanoma and the risks of being exposed to the suns UV rays. “I want to be very active in the community and raise awareness and remind people just constantly,” she said. “Hopefully I can make my impact on the community.” Ms King said skin cancer was some-

thing that some people may not detect because it could come up anywhere on the body, and encouraged the community to take extra caution. She also said putting on sunscreen should become part of everyone’s daily routine, like it has hers. Skin cancer and melanoma are leading health issues in Australia with over 400,000 Australians treated for skin cancer each year - more than 1000 people each day.

SWMML CEO Gaylene Coulton is encouraging more people to seek advice. 115763 Picture: SUPPLIED

Keeping osteo at bay By YASEMIN TALAT WYNDHAM and Hobsons Bay communities are being encouraged to be more aware of the risks and costs associated with osteoporosis. South Western Melbourne Medicare Local (SWMML) has called on communities and health care professionals to better inform themselves about the prevalence of osteoporosis and the preventative measures to reduce the risk of developing the disease. Osteoporosis affects 4.74 million Australians over 50, and Osteoporosis Australia reports indicate that by 2022 the total direct and indirect cost of the disease and associated fractures will reach $33.6 billion.

SWMML want to combat the prevalence of the disease, especially in Wyndham and Hobsons Bay, which have a combined population of over 56,000 residents aged 50 years and over. SWMML CEO Gaylene Coulton encouraged people to seek advice from their local general practitioners to ensure early detection of the disease. “SWMML are providing educational resources to support health care professionals to effectively manage and prevent fractures in the community, with the aim of minimizing the indirect and direct cost of the disease on the individual,” Ms Coulton said. “Maintaining healthy bones

for people of all ages is crucial in reducing the risk of fractures, so making sure your diet is high in calcium and you’re getting enough sunshine and exercise each day are some small preventative measures that can be taken to ensure your bones stay strong and healthy,” she said. The report shows that osteoporosis can be diagnosed and managed to reduce fracture rates and in many cases prevent fractures all together but osteoporosis remains under diagnosed even when a fracture has occurred. For further information about Osteoporosis Australia and information about maintaining healthy bones visit www.healthybones.com.au

A HOPPERS Crossing woman will be taking her passion for gender equality all the way to the United Nations. Sarah Allen is one of a handful of people that has been chosen to take part in a delegation of Girl Guides from all over the world to participate in the Commission on the Status of Women sitting at the UN in New York this March. The sitting will provide a global platform through which governments and civil society can discuss issues concerning gender equality, identify challenges, evaluate progress and

formulate concrete policies to promote advancement of women worldwide. Ms Allen is one of 18 people from the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) chosen to take part in the event. “The Millennium Development Goals will be something that define our generation,” Ms Allen said. “WAGGGS is ensuring all girls and young woman are aware and actively working towards the MDG’s and I am thrilled to have been selected and contributing towards this amazing delegation.”

Erin Wicking, who will also be taking part in the two week event, said she had learned a lot from being a member of the Girl Guides. “My 20 years in Girl Guides has taught me how vital it is to empower girls and women to speak out on the issues that matter to themselves, their families and their communities,” Ms Wicking said. “I’m honoured to have this opportunity to speak on the world stage and advocate for a better world for all girls and women.” The delegation will speak at the United Nations later this month.

APPROVALS SHOW DENSITY INCREASE

ESTHER LAUAKI

THE number of medium density home approvals, including units, townhouses and semidetached houses, in Victoria has more than doubled over the past five years, a recent report shows. The housing density report, sanctioned by Bankwest, revealed that 23,390 medium density approvals were granted in Victoria in the past 12 months, a staggering 109.5 per cent growth rate on the 11,164 approvals five years ago. Despite this substantial increase, neighbouring New South Wales topped the nation’s charts for the highest proportion of medium density approvals at 34 per cent followed by Victoria at 30 per cent. This is a reversal on the previous year’s findings when Victoria contained the largest proportion of medium density homes. The report also revealed that Victoria has seen a marked increase in medium

density dwellings over the long-term, with the proportion of approvals rising to 45.6 per cent in 2013. This is well above the 20 year average of 27.4 per cent which suggests that Victoria is experiencing a profound change in the composition of its overall housing stock. Bankwest executive general manager in retail Mark Reid said NSW overtaking Victoria as the state with the largest proportion of medium density housing approvals in Australia may be deceptive at face value. “The recent change masks the dramatic climb in the number of units, townhouses and semi-detached houses across Victoria recorded over the last two decades.” Close to one in four dwellings in Victoria are considered medium density. In the state’s capital Melbourne, some 28.9 per cent of dwellings are medium density, which is

slightly above the nation’s capital city average of 27.6 per cent. The report shows there is a clear long-term trend of Australians turning to medium density homes. Since 1985, the proportion of medium density dwellings approvals has annually averaged 30.6 per cent of total dwelling approvals. This figure increased to 34.3 per cent over the past 10 years and jumped to 40.1 per cent in the past two years alone. Other key findings show an impressive 46 out of 65 local areas in Victoria have had increasing shares of medium density housing compared to dwelling stock in the past two years. Of all Victoria’s local government areas, the biggest increase has been in Maribyrnong where close to 90 per cent of new approvals were medium density in the past five years.

Why should you choose an QIP Accredited Dental Practice? Because they care... The accreditation process ensures every facet of the practice conforms to a range of rigid “Best Practice requirements” that focus on patient well being in a number of ways:• Our practicing dentists are highly qualified and attend regular training to ensure they are up to date with the latest techniques and technology • All staff receive regular training on the requirements of infection control set out by the governing bodies both nationally and at state level.

Dr Carmine Camerlengo said “We have always worked on the philosophy that client care was foremost in everything we do at Wyndham Dental Solutions. From the moment you make your ﬁrst appointment through to caring for you and your family for generations”. Now with National Dental Association Accreditation our best practice procedures and caring methods are recognised. Additionally, languages spoken include Italian, Portuguese an Indian dialect and English which helps clients with limited English obtain a clear understanding of the procedures and processes.

• Patients are always informed on the treatment that is recommended so they can discuss the range and options of the treatment. • Our policy of having the same dentist providing the ongoing care for a client (except in emergencies) builds a foundation for knowledge of the patient. • Our systems are designed and monitored to ensure patient privacy and confidentiality • Our facilities are modern state-of-the-art • We are proud to provide Accredited Dental services to the people of Wyndham

Cancer screening saves valuable lives IN the lead-up to International Women’s Day on 8 March, South Western Melbourne Medicare Local (SWMML) is encouraging women of all ages to get screened for cancers and help prevent the preventable. This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is ‘Inspiring Change’ and with some of the lowest screening rates in Victoria lying within SWMMLs catchment, the organisation is urging women to make a positive change to their health and inspire those around them to do so as well. Statistics from BreastScreen Victoria show that from 2010 to 2012, at total of 52 per cent of eligible women in the Hob-

able the detection of pre-cancer cervical changes and early breast cancer diagnosis. The pap screening program significantly reduces the incidence of cervical cancer. “Services are readily available through general practice or women’s health nurses in the community health centres, and I would encourage all women to attend,” says Dr Silva. Dr Silva raises concerns over a large number of women in the region who are missing out on intimate health checks once they have completed their child bearing, and urges women of all backgrounds to access the important health care services on offer in the community.

From 2010-2011, 58 per cent of eligible women in Hobsons Bay and 49.3 per cent of eligible women in Wyndham were screened for cervical cancer, both below the state average of 59.2 per cent for this period. Local general practitioner Dr Jo-Ann Silva said screening is vital in preventing cancers and making early diagnoses for all women. “Screening such as pap smears and breast screens en-

Fight disease with nature Soma’s interest in naturopathy and ayurveda was aroused at a very young age. “I used to see my father treat friends and family with simple home remedies. “He would ask us to collect leaves of different plants, put them in packets and label their usage. “I also helped him to make pills and powders and watched him make decoctions boiling different herbs. “I was also happy as these remedies had no side effect and most of the ingredients were part of the food and were easily available in the kitchen cupboard,” she says. Soma gained a diploma in naturopathy and yoga in India and did training in panchkarma treatments from Kerala in India, which is the home of ayurveda. “Everyone wants a healthy body and healthy mind. “Disturbances in health happen due to various reasons. “It can be lifestyle, food habits and stress that can come

from various situations in life. “At Kripa, we try to find out the root cause of the disease and treat it instead of providing merely the symptomatic relief,” she says. Kripa Wellness Clinic offers treatment for all health conditions. Treatments are especially beneficial for joint pains, sleep disorders, digestive disorders, diabetes, migraines, aches and pains, asthma and bronchitis, eczema and other skin conditions. “We aim at restoring the natural healing systems of the body to heal itself. “Our prices are affordable so that everyone can avail themselves of the services when in need,” Soma says. The Kripa Wellness Clinic is at 299 Hogans Road, Hoppers Crossing. Phone 9748 4375 or email karma.clinic@yahoo.com for an appointment. Visit www.kripaclinic.com for more information.

What’s not to love about mango season? Scoring that sweet golden flesh into little pop-out squares and feeling the juice dribble down my chin almost makes me feel like I’m holidaying on a tropical island in Far North Queensland. One of our favourite varieties - the Honey Gold mango - is grown by Queensland-based Pinata Farms in nearly every mainland state, including Victoria, and is now being imported to Russia. Fittingly, it was recently pictured about as far away from its tropical homeland as it could get … in the snowy surrounds of Sochi, giving our Aussie Winter Olympians a little taste of home. So in keeping with the mango theme (and given our special guest Ivo is a barbecue specialist), this week’s recipe is a lovely, fresh salsa from Taste.com.au that’s the perfect partner for grilled meats.

MANGO AND AVOCADO SALSA 1 just-ripe mango, cheeks removed, peeled and finely chopped 1 avocado, halved, stone removed, peeled and finely chopped Half a red onion, finely chopped 1 long fresh red chilli, deseeded and chopped 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Combine ingredients and serve. Thanks again for all your wonderful emails.

By DR KRISTI GREEN COPING with the loss of a dog or cat is the most difficult aspect of owning a pet and one of the hardest parts about being a vet and vet nurse. This week our clinic has said a sad goodbye to several patients who we have known for more than 14 years each. Euthanasia is usually decided based on an animal’s deteriorating quality of life or when medical treatment options have been exhausted. Our owners and their animals are part of our family, too, and when the time comes for a pet to be put to sleep we ensure animals pass in a peaceful and painless manner. Pets truly do provide us with unconditional

love and are a faithful long-term companion. For this reason, the loss of a pet is as painful as the death of any family member. Many people choose to have their pet cremated so their ashes can be kept close by or scattered somewhere special. Surround yourself with friends and family and share your memories about your pet. Pet grief counsellors can provide additional support. Allow plenty of time for both yourself and the other pets at home to mourn and possibly consider taking on a new puppy or kitten when you feel you are ready. Always remember that your life is amazingly richer because of the time that you shared with your pet.

Visit of veterinary discovery will be able to engage with pet demonstrations, public lectures, interactive displays and selfguided tours. Hear about what it’s really like consulting, teaching, healing, discovering and working at the forefront of veterinary science. Learn how veterinarians and students solve problems, treat animals, perform procedures, make diagnoses and use stateof-the-art equipment with a variety of interactive displays which will take place throughout the veterinary hospital and at the cattle yards. See the amazing world of

animal disease from the malformed to the malignant. Displays include fresh specimens, museum pots and skeletons. Speak to veterinarians and staff about the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program. Explore other rewarding animal related careers in agriculture, veterinary nursing, equine studies and more at the education hub. Take a self-guided tour by following the paw prints for a voyage of discovery through our world-class veterinary hospital. For further information visit www.vet.unimelb.edu.au.

BOOMER Bloodhound Cross 1 yr 5 months Male Tan and Black

Hi there, my name is Boomer and I’m patiently waiting to find my pawfect match at RSPCA Burwood East. I’m ready to find my permanent home with my new loving family. I’m a very unique dog and due to my breed have a few requirements in my new home in order for me to fit in, so it’s important that you research my breed before coming in to adopt. I need to go to an adult home because I’ve proven to be too boisterous for children. I’m best suited to acreage instead of the suburbs because it will allow me to be my loudest without bothering your neighbours. Suitable fencing is important around the household so that I am properly secured in the yard. Another canine companion is very important because I have energy to burn. I love to follow my nose so lots of enrichment games that involve sniffing would be lots of fun and keep me entertained and content. Find out more via: www.rspcavic.org/adoption and type BOOMER in ‘Keywords‘ box.

MAGGIE Domestic Medium Hair 8 Year Female Torbie

Hi there, my name is Maggie. I’ve got a lot of love to give! I like to explore and investigate. I can’t maintain this sensational coat all by myself, so my purrfect match will need to help me to keep looking this fabulous with daily grooming! I would like to live in a mature family, as kids can be a bit overwhelming for me. I need to be the only cat in my new home and I’ll make a fantastic companion cat for someone looking for lots of cuddles!

Winning streak halted

FOOTSCRAY Edgewater opener Dean Russ is poised to become the 840th player to represent the Commonwealth Bank Bushrangers in first-class cricket after he was selected in the 12-man squad to face Tasmania in a Bupa Sheffield Shield match at the MCG this week. Russ, who turned 28 on Thursday, has struck 641 runs, at an average of 45.8, in Bartercard Premier Cricket this season while also impressing in the Toyota Futures League, where he is the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 350 runs. Russ is joined in the squad by Peter Handscomb, who amassed 212 in his previous match for St Kilda on February 15. They replace Cameron White and Glenn Maxwell in the side who are both in South Africa with the Australian Twenty20 side. The match will see a return of day/night Sheffield Shield cricket after it was first trialled in the late 1990s. “It is all a little bit surreal at the moment,” Russ said. “It is fantastic. I am looking forward to getting stuck into it all on Monday.” Matthew Dean made 52 for Werribee on the weekend. 91416 Picture: DAMIAN VISENTINI

For Werribee, the flurry of dismissals left Tim O’Brien stranded at the crease on 69 not out. O’Brien was the Tigers leading run scorer with Matthew Dean the next best with 52. Of the Tigers’ bottom six batsmen, only one (Kyle Andrews) made it to double figures. “When you get on winning streaks, people say you need to lose

one to keep yourself in check,” Dean said. “At the same time, I don’t see any reason why we couldn’t have won. It would have been a different story if we had been skittled for 200 or 150 and been in no position to win the game. “We were in a very commanding position to win that game of cricket, and it was only through lack of

application that we didn’t win the game. “I don’t think I buy into it that we needed to lose one, but it does put things back into perspective and we will have a look at where we are at and who is doing what.” In what will be the final match before finals, the Tigers will take on fellow top three side Bayswater this week.

Saints give Dogs hell By LIAM TWOMEY FOOTSCRAY Edgewater will need to bring its best with the ball this week after a tough first day in its Premier Cricket clash with St Kilda. In the final round of the season, the top two teams squared off at Mervyn Hughes Oval with the Bulldogs winning the toss and electing to bat first. Despite the early loss of Anthony Barton, the decision looked to be a good one as Footscray moved to 1/47 with in-form duo Travis Dean and captain Dean Russ at the crease. But it was the loss of wickets in groups which cost the Bulldogs throughout the afternoon. Footscray lost Dean and Dylan Kight in the space of seven runs and then later in the innings, lost 4/6. Coming up against arguably the best team in the competition, it was always going to be hard to post a strong score from there and the Bulldogs struggled. Thanks to a handy 27 from number nine batsman Hamish Winter-Irving, Footscray reached 153 before being bowled out in the 61st over. Russ was the top scorer for the innings with 53 while Shanuka Dissanayaka was the next best with 31. “We were disappointed to make

shorts Russ suits up for Bushrangers

By LIAM TWOMEY WERRIBEE suffered its first Victorian Sub District Cricket Association loss of the season following a 32-run defeat at the hands of Oakleigh. After sending Oakleigh in to bat on day one, the Tigers were set 274 runs for victory. Despite looking like a tough ask on paper, the chase got off to a strong start, thanks to the Werribee top five. Opening pair David Wolfe and Matthew Dean added 58 for the first wicket before Wolfe was dismissed for 31. That wicket did nothing to slow the momentum as Tigers captain Shaun Dean kept the scoreboard moving. The pattern of a wicket to the bowling side, followed by a rebuild from the batting side continued deep into the afternoon. However, with the score at 4/210 and Werribee just 64 runs away from victory, the Oakleigh bowlers made their move. The Tigers lost 6/31 to be bowled out for 241 in the 71st over. “It was a pretty disappointing finish,” Dean said. “We probably couldn’t have been in a better position at 4/210, needing 60 with six wickets in hand and one set batsman at the crease and then it was a massive collapse. “It was quite frustrating to be sitting in the stands watching it all unfold when we looked to have the game done and dusted.”

Sports

the score we did,” Russ said. “We thought we should have been able to push 200 plus but we didn’t really string too many partnerships together. “They bowled exceptionally well and it was a typical St Kilda performance really. They are a very disciplined side.” With 26 overs left in the day’s play, Footscray needed quick wickets and Jake Haberfield delivered. The gun quick removed Peter Handscomb (who was coming off back-to-back Premier Cricket hundreds) without scoring and Rob Quiney for nine to have St Kilda at 2/13. Winter-Irving then got in on the act, taking the wicket of Matthew Chasemore to make it 3/30. From there, St Kilda managed to settle its innings and will resume this week at 3/57. Thomas Moffat and Graeme Rummans are the not out batsmen on 37 and 10 respectively. “Jake bowled very well,” Russ said. “To get those two wickets and then to follow up with Chasemore was very good for us. If we can get a couple of wickets early in the session then we are a massive chance.”

WEST Newport has survived the cut and will play in the Williamstown and District Cricket Association’s A Turf finals series after easily accounting for Gellibrand on Saturday. Finishing just one point ahead of Melton Centrals to sneak into the top four, West Newport only needed 52 overs to ensure first innings points - making 226 in response to Gellibrand’s 141 from day one. This weekend West Newport is due to play Williamstown Colts, who finished on top of the ladder with nine wins and 60 points. Bellbridge will host Grand United in the other semi-final to be played this Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile in the WDCA’s A Grade Matting competition, Point Cook’s superior percentage got it across the line over Williamstown Imperials for the final spot in the top four. Both clubs ended the season on 39 points, with Melton Centrals, WLSC Marshalls and Wyndham Vale also making the cut ahead of semi-final weekend. SPOTSWOOD has missed out on the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s North Division finals series after failing to get past Laverton on the final day of the home-and-away season on Saturday. On day one of the clash at Laverton Park, the host posted a formidable 250 runs before Spotswood survived three overs out in the middle to go into day two at 0/1. On Saturday the Woodsmen faced another 44 overs but could never really get going with the bat, falling well short of their target on their way to just 134. Spotswood finished fifth on the table, almost 10 points shy of fourth-placed and finals-bound Doutta Stars. Meanwhile in the VTCA’s North A1 Division, Seddon upset Taylors Lakes at home to finish fourth on the table, and will play the Altona Roosters in this weekend’s semi-final. Taylors Lakes and Sunshine Druids will also play for a spot in the grand final.

Skill in Dogs’ progress By LIAM TWOMEY FROM the moment he walked into the Footscray Edgewater Cricket Club, Steve Chapman knew he had some talent on his hands. Having previously coached Dandenong to a premiership, Chapman signed with the Bulldogs before the 2013/14 season and wasted no time taking his winning ways across Melbourne to Farnsworth Avenue. Initially, Footscray was the surprise packet of the competition after a hot start to the season. But this was no flash in the pan, and going into the final round, a win will see the club finish the home-and-away competition on top of the ladder. “When I was talking about the job initially, I couldn’t put my finger on why Footscray hadn’t been involved in finals,” Chapman said. “I felt that if we were anywhere near what I believed the side could be then we would make the finals. I never thought we could be as high as second or indeed, if we finish the last round with a win, that we could finish on top.” With finals just one week away and despite Footscray’s place in the post-season looking likely since the opening rounds of the season, the Bulldogs haven’t been getting ahead of themselves. Apart from a couple of passing comments, a finals campaign hasn’t been spoken about in great detail among the players and coaching staff. “I haven’t let the guys and I haven’t wanted them to (speak about finals),” Chapman said. “I wanted them to talk about what was coming up on Saturday and talk about literally the first session. “I didn’t want them to get distracted or get ahead of themselves. I have got a group of lads here that haven’t had a lot of finals experience or success. I think it is important to keep their feet on the ground and ask them to consider what is coming up rather than what potentially could hap-

pen in x amount of weeks’ time.” Footscray will find out its round one finals opponent at the conclusion of its match with St Kilda. Regardless of which team the Bulldogs take on, one player going into the match in hot form is Travis Dean. The number three batsman hit his first Premier Cricket first grade century against Dandenong

last month and then followed it up with a brilliant 95 when taking on Camberwell. Chapman is confident that more runs will follow for the rising star. “I think he (Dean) has come of age,” Chapman said. “There are a lot of people around the traps that reckon this kid will play for Victoria within a couple of years. He was the best under-19 cricketer

going around in the country a couple of years ago. He has always had it in him. I think it was just a case of him working it out for himself. “The 95 runs that he got were every bit as classy as the hundred he got against Dandenong. It was a completely different set of circumstances from the Dandenong game where his ability to hit the gaps and be fluent was every bit as skilful as his ability to leave in the game at Camberwell.”

Limited Stock Brendan Barker was impressed with Werribee’s performance in the Bowls Victorian Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT pennant finals on the weekend. 113491

Bees take it to the brink

$FFHQW

By LIAM TWOMEY IT WAS an up and down weekend for Werribee in the Bowls Victoria division one pennant finals. The Bees got off to a blistering start, defeating Bundoora RSL 85-68 in the competition’s semi-finals. “It was very good to get over the line on Saturday and we are very happy,” Werribee’s Bren-

dan Barker said after the match. “It was definitely one of our best performances of the year. We got a good start on their patch. It was really good to get that jump and we kept the lead all day. It was a great team effort across the board.” The Bees then fronted up the next day to take on Kew Heights in the grand final. Kew had caused a major up-

set the day before, taking out top-of-the-table Deer Park in their semi-final clash. There was no slowing down the momentum of that victory, with Kew again producing some of its best bowls at the right time of the season to claim a 91-51 win. Other section winners in division one were Lalor, Heathmont and Yarra Glen.

CITY West continued its outstanding start to the Victorian Netball League season with a victory against Monash University Storm on Wednesday night. The Falcons were in front from the get go and maintained a healthy lead over the Storm throughout the next three quarters. But it was in the final term when City West produced some of its best netball. Marg Lind’s side scored 17 goals and restricted Monash to just six to secure the 17-goal win. The result capped off a busy seven days for the Falcons after they also enjoyed wins against Fed Uni Ballarat Pride (61-26) and DC North East Blaze (5935). Lind was rapt with how her side was able to handle its busy schedule. “We have been performing pretty well and they were certainly solid in all three games which is pleasing,” she said. “I felt like they would be fatigued with three games in under seven days, so we actually didn’t train at all in the sevenday period. “A lot of the girls also had state training too so we were pretty mindful of that. Essentially, those who are in the state team, they actually had another game as well with the state team.

Maggie Lind (shown playing in last year’s VNL grand-final) is part of an undefeated City West Falcons outfit. 103257 Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT “We said to them that if their performance against Blaze on Saturday night was solid, which meant we had three wins under our belt, we wouldn’t train them on Sunday, which we didn’t do, and I think that paid off.” The trio of victories maintains City West’s unbeaten start to the VNL season with the Falcons on top of the table with a 4-0 record. When round five of the season gets underway this week, the Falcons will take on thirdplaced Geelong. The game will have an interesting dynamic, with Geelong

now being coached by former Falcon Gerard Murphy. “I think he (Murphy) has done some good work with them and we certainly won’t be underestimating them,” Lind said. “Even less so because he has come from our stable and he knows how we run. That is going to be a little bit of an advantage to him, but I guess the same applies to us. We know his coaching methods. I’m hoping to get another win, so that we go into the break with a clean slate.”

Out of flag chase

In the

Doghouse

By ADEM SARICAOGLU KEVIN HILLIER The entire Werribee bullpen had a poor day at the office against Springvale on Sunday. 114350

“He’s had an outstanding year - but unfortunately for Wes, he didn’t bring what he’s normally brought and here we are. “Today he just threw, and you can’t do that with Myles Barnden, Scott Wearne and Freddy Flores. “We made too many mistakes with our pitching and paid the penalty.” The Giants weren’t exactly on top of their game over the plate, either, only managing to score six runs to Springvale’s 25 before the mercy

rule took effect after seven innings. While the season may have ended on a sour note, Balzer said he’ll look back on his first year in charge of the Giants as a successful one. “From where they came last year finishing in the bottom part of the ladder - I think they were all pretty pleased with where we got to,” Balzer said. Springvale will play Williamstown in this week’s grand final series.

Memo councils: make grounds available LOCAL footy is back with VFL practice matches, the WRFL interleague squad in full training for the metropolitan championships and my mobile ringing a heck of a lot more. Some clubs are telling me they are having issues with ground availability, even those that are not shared with cricket. I don’t understand why some councils have this negative attitude. The grounds are built to be used, not looked at. We are trying to promote participation in sport. Why make it so difficult? The other point of contention is the time it takes to get some very small jobs, like covering a cricket wicket, done. The frustration this causes is most unnecessary and does not bode well for the rest of the year. West Footscray Football Club is holding its season launch this Thursday at the Pound Cafe at Whitten Oval from 7pm. Western Bulldogs Director Barry Hall and WRFL guru Steve Thom will be speaking along with Trevor Davies the senior coach. Good luck to the Roosters for 2014. MIXED fortunes for the VFL sides with Werribee having a narrow win over Box Hill Hawks and Williamstown losing by a few goals to Essendon. The results mean little and both clubs will be happy to have the first run under their belt. The rivals meet this Saturday at Aegis Park with the Development squad at 10am followed by the seniors at 1pm. GMHBA Geelong Regional Manager Deryn Mobbs joined the Board of the Werribee football club at last week’s AGM which also saw John Nicol returned as President. Werribee has also confirmed that its round 8 game against Richmond will be played at the home of the Torquay Tigers, Spring Creek Reserve on Saturday May 24th. INTERESTING times in local cricket, Werribee lost its first First XI game for the year, despite some batting heroics from Tim O’Brien who made an unbeaten 69 in the run chase. They play second placed Bayswater this weekend in a one dayer at Avalon Airport Oval. Interesting letter I saw from Daniel Gaylor, the President of Grand United Cricket Club, to the Williamstown District Cricket Association calling for massive changes to keep the competition alive. West Newport and Willy Imps are leaving the competition next year and all clubs are finding it hard to field teams. Grand United a powerhouse club has lost three teams in two seasons. Daniel has a very strong point, I hope he gets a hearing. Adam Contessa bobbed up with a six wicket performance and two knocks over 30, to help the Yarraville Club CC make the finals in the VTCA. They will play Greenvale in the semi final this weekend at Greenvale. WESTERN Athletics is hosting an Athletics Victoria shield meet for the first time ever in Wyndham at the Vic Uni Aths track in Hoppers Lane this Saturday from 1.30pm. Track events include the 100 metre, 1500 metre, 400 metres, hurdle and steeplechase. The newly installed pole vault will highlight the field events including javelin, discuss and long jump. Entry is free and you can see many leading western suburbs athletes including Morgan Mitchell who is preparing for this year’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Other notables include Alan Cook (1500 World Champion for his age) and Anne Cross (2000 Olympian). More than 25 of the juniors competing Saturday will be off to Sydney next week for the National Championships.

WERRIBEE won’t be part of the Division Two Summer League Baseball grand final series this week - despite the fact it had one foot in the door on Saturday. After winning game one of their semi-final series against Springvale on Wednesday, the Giants couldn’t capitalise on game-winning opportunities late in game two, eventually going down 2-1 after 12 innings. The series went to a decider on Sunday in Springvale, and after just one inning, Werribee had lost its grip on its grand final spot. In a disastrous opening that led to Werribee’s demise, the Giants gave up a whopping 13 runs. Gun pitcher Wes De Jong started for the visitors but was very quickly taken to task by Springvale and Melbourne Aces guns Scott Wearne and Freddy Flores. De Jong could only manage two outs by the time 11 runs were already on the board, prompting coach Phil Balzer to replace him with Daine Gregory. With Gregory on the mound, another two runs were added to an already ugly scoreboard for Werribee. Balzer was honest in his assessment of De Jong’s difficult day, but did acknowledge his solid year as Werribee’s key pitcher. “We were pretty confident with Wes going on the hill,” Balzer said.

UNTIL 2015

NOW the family can see everything from the comfort of the all new Nissan X-Trail in 2WD, 4WD petrol plus the 4WD diesel models which are packed with innovative features. Muscular, modern and packed with technology, the new Nissan X-Trail made its world debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Building on Nissan’s respected 4x4 heritage but adding world-leading crossover knowhow, the new X-Trail re-defines the compact SUV segment. The US version, called the Nissan Rogue, has made its world debut. As a high-volume global growth product built on the new jointly-developed Nissan/ Renault Common Module Family platform architecture, it is projected to be available in 190 countries. At the same time as enhancing its predecessor’s goanywhere credibility, the new X-Trail takes inspiration from Nissan’s market-leading crossovers - Qashqai, Juke and Murano - to create the ultimate, all weather, highly capable, mod-

ern family vehicle. The design brief behind the new X-Trail was to blend the sleek and stylish lines of a modern crossover with the robust appeal of a typical SUV. In place of the rugged, squared off lines of the previous generation, the new X-Trail has a premium and dynamic appearance. Sculptured muscular lines create a distinctive silhouette framed by elegant curves and high wheel arches and feature a number of Nissan signature cues such as the ‘boomerang’ rear lights, structured headlights with LED daytime running lamps and the characteristic D-pillar shape. LED headlights - for both high and low beams - are standard on high grade models while 19-inch alloy wheels also give the new X-Trail an imposing look. Practical touches include rear side doors that open to almost 80 degrees - far wider than normal - to allow not just easy access but also to ease the loading and unloading of a child’s safety seat. Middle row

seat comfort has been improved thanks to extra knee room generated by the longer wheelbase and the new front seats having more heavily sculpted seat backs. The middle row seats recline and slide while, where fitted, the third row folds forward to increase luggage space. Helpful touches include, for example, a large between-theseats console box. The box itself is large enough to take an iPad or 10inch tablet. Visit Werribee Nissan at 1426 Heaths Rd, Hoppers Crossing. It is open from Monday to Saturday, 8.30am-6pm, and Sunday, 10am-5pm. Phone 9974 5800 to register interest in this vehicle. Alternatively, visit Western Nissan on the corner of Western Hwy and Christies Rd, Caroline Springs. It is open from Monday to Saturday, 8am-6pm and Sunday, 10am-5pm, or call 8361 8255 for more information.
