Burglars thriving in west Home burglars have raked in a $95.9 million treasure trove of cash, jewellery and computer equipment in the past year – and Ardeer residents were among the hardest hit. Victoria Police data shows that 28,515 residential burglaries occurred statewide in the 2013-14 financial year, including 1416 across Brimbank, leaving victims $5052 out of pocket on average. In 13,266 cases, there were no signs of forced entry; in 7924 cases, the offender entered through a window; and in 360 cases the offender used a key to get in. The figures come less than two months after Ardeer was branded the top burglary hotspot in Melbourne in the same financial year. A survey by insurer RACV found one in 25 Ardeer properties was broken into during 2013-14, with Williams Landing not far behind. Braybrook also made the ‘top 10’, with one in 34 properties burgled. The figures, based on Victoria Police crime statistics and Census data, reveal the average number of homes burgled across Victoria was one in 73. Victoria Police safer community group’s Superintendent Tim Hansen said residential burglaries peaked each year during the festive season and the month of January. Superintendent Hansen said cash, jewellery and computer equipment

were the most commonly stolen items. “Victorians are losing millions in stolen properties through these crimes, which are largely opportunistic and avoidable,” he said. “Intelligence tells us that while a lot of people take holidays over the summer break, a lot have become complacent when it comes to their home security.

‘‘

Get your neighbours to collect the mail and bring in the bins - Tim Hansen

’’

“If you’re planning to go away, the key is to make it look like someone is home. So get your neighbours to collect the mail and bring in the bins. Close the curtains and hang some old clothes on the line.” RACV general manager of home services Peter Brindley also called on home owners to be more proactive in securing their properties against thieves, and said window locks, sensor lights and monitored home security systems were proven deterrents against burglaries. “It’s important to consider potential hiding spots that you may create for thieves,” Mr Brindley said. “By having clear paths to the front door, it’s easy to see when someone is straying into areas they shouldn’t.”

Full steam ahead for real estate By Charlene Macaulay Real estate agents believe Brimbank’s property market is on track for steady growth in 2015. After a year in which Sunshine was the second-fastest-growing suburb for median house prices in Melbourne over the June 2014 quarter and Caroline Springs, located just outside Brimbank, sold its first million-dollar property, Barry Plant Taylors Lakes director James Hatzimoisis is tipping price growth to continue well into the new year. Mr Hatzimoisis said larger blocks in Sunshine and St Albans would continue to attract investors and home buyers.

‘‘

For buyers, there will be more opportunities

’’

- Enzo Raimondo

He believes Taylors Hill, Caroline Springs, Taylors Lakes and Keilor Downs properties will also perform well. “The whole [Brimbank] area performed really well, particularly in the second half of 2014. Numbers across the board were up and auction clearance rates were excellent. We had some really good results. “Unless something out of left field affects

the economy or confidence, we feel it should continue on the way it’s been ticking along.” Bells Real Estate Sydenham sales executive Anthony Christakakis predicts that Taylors Hill could see is first million-dollar sale this year. “Caroline Springs has hit a couple of million-dollar deals, and I don’t think Taylors Hill is far off,” Mr Christakakis said. “Sydenham and Hillside are pretty steady, and Delahey is getting good results.” Real Estate Institute of Victoria chief executive Enzo Raimondo said while the Melbourne market may moderate over the coming year, there would still be room for

residential price growth across the western suburbs. “Vendors will need to work closely with their agent to consider the best approach to marketing and selling their home,” Mr Raimondo said. “For buyers, there will be more opportunities and it’s worth noting there are still many affordable suburbs in Melbourne’s west and north with locations such as Deer Park, Wyndham Vale and Truganina still offering extremely well-priced family homes. “These suburbs have not seen the same level of growth as many other areas in the middle west and north of the city.”

The students have set a high standard for the school,” she said. At Hoppers Crossing Secondary College, Rushi Patel was named school dux with an ATAR of 96.6. He plans to study medicine. Rounding out the school’s top three students were Magda Hagi Ali, who received an ATAR of 93, and Arunn Samgriathan, with an ATAR of 88. Principal Wayne Terrill said the school had recorded its best results in 30 years.

The lead-up to Christmas is the busiest time of the year for family violence services, with Women’s Health West (WHW) receiving the same number of police referrals in December as it did for the entire year in 2006-07. WHW received 657 police referrals for the western metropolitan area in December last year and 715 in November. According to WHW 24-hour crisis response co-ordinator Louisa, the service received 708 police referrals for the entire 2006-7 year. “It’s positive in that people are reporting it more. It’s becoming everyone’s business instead of staying hushed up,” she said. “The festive season is a time when families can be quite stressed financially and emotionally. “While alcohol or drugs don’t help, they’re not the cause. It’s ultimately about power and control.” Council of Single Mothers and Their Children spokeswoman Kerry Davies said Christmas could be troubling for single parents. “For parents who are separated and share custody of children, it can lead to much contention over who has them and when,” she said. “Domestic violence doesn’t always end when people separate.” Ms Davies said although stress was often a factor, it was no excuse. “People who are stressed and deal with it by being violent at home know the difference,” she said. “They don’t go to work and do it to their boss.”

Top brains nudge VCE perfection The wait is over for year 12 students from across the west. At Suzanne Cory High School, 200 students completed their VCE this year, with Frank Du named as the school’s dux. The Sunshine West resident received the highest possible ATAR – 99.95. He was one of 33 students across the state to receive a perfect score. Frank said the score was beyond his expectations. He plans to study biomedicine at the University of Melbourne next year. “I was aiming for medicine all along. Studying biomedicine gives me more options.

I will be able to look at different study areas and decide for myself what path I want to take,” he said. Fellow students Isabelle Cahoy, Matthew Lagamba, Ginny Croke and Peter Deng were also pleasantly surprised by their results, which they all received via text message on Monday morning. Suzanne Cory assistant principal Kay Peddle said the school was “thrilled” with the results of its first year 12 students. “The results are really pleasing. [The students] were the first group to come through the school, so the results are significant for us.

Little change in grim road toll By Charlene Macaulay Victoria Police is calling on drivers to take more care in 2015 after almost 700 people were injured or killed on Brimbank and Melton roads last year. Figures obtained from the Brimbank and Melton highway patrols reveal six fatal collisions on Brimbank roads in 2014 – up from five the year before. There were 134 serious-injury collisions where the injured person was admitted to hospital (149 in 2013), and 335 collisions resulting in injury (360).

A 20-year-old Roxburgh Park man was among the fatalities when his motorbike struck the back of an MFB truck on Ballarat Road in Deer Park last month. The man died at the scene. In Melton, police recorded five fatalities (six in 2013), 76 serious-injury collisions (80) and 132 injury collisions (128). Divisional road policing adviser Ross Burbidge said two of the three pedestrians killed in Brimbank had been affected by alcohol. “Pedestrians need to take more care when crossing the road and use appropriate

locations, like controlled intersections, where there is adequate lighting,” Senior Sergeant Burbidge said. “They should also wear light-coloured clothing.” Meanwhile, police from the Brimbank and Melton highway patrols have just wrapped up Operation Summer Stay, which was run across Victoria during Christmas-New Year, targeting drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and other offences. Police caught 54 drink-drivers across the two cities and detected 1835 other offences. Statewide, nearly 80,000 traffic offences were

detected during the Summer Stay campaign. They involved 27,651 speeding drivers, 8650 unregistered vehicles, 5621 mobile phone offences, 2910 seatbelt offences, 2552 drinkdrivers, 2487 disqualified and suspended drivers, and 816 drivers under the influence of drugs. Road Policing Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said although ‘Summer Stay’ had finished, the road safety message remained the same. “If everyone stays alert, sober and within the speed limit then we will take a major step towards our goal of zero deaths.”

Council row costs ratepayers By Charlene Macaulay The prolonged industrial dispute between Brimbank council and its staff has cost ratepayers almost $200,000 in legal fees and contractors. Brimbank council forked out $83,113.76 for legal fees incurred during Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) negotiations and a further $105,563.27 for contractors to collect the garbage, mow parks, answer phones and collect street bins because of strike action. Council staff voted in favour of a revised

‘‘

This was a particularly difficult EBA process

’’

- Helen Morrissey

EBA at the end of December after 11 months of negotiations and two rounds of industrial action, including strikes. Staff, who voted down the council’s original offer in November, agreed to a revised offer that removed a proposed outsourcing clause, scrapped a wage increase clause that called for

pay rises to be set at CPI or under, and improved parental leave conditions. Wage increases will be backdated to October 1, 2014. The council succeeded in retaining a clause to introduce GPS devices on council vehicles, plant and equipment, and surveillance technology. Corporate and community relations director Helen Morrissey said the new agreement would come into effect after gaining Fair Work Commission approval. “Enterprise bargaining in any organisation as large and diverse as Brimbank city council is difficult, but this was a particularly difficult EBA process,” she said. “The Australian

Services Union (ASU) changed its industrial organiser late in negotiations, added additional items to the log of claims and started the process for taking industrial action. “As a result, council was compelled to engage an experienced industrial relations lawyer to help finalise negotiations. “While there were unplanned costs with the EBA they have been offset by a number of factors, including the timing of the agreement and non-payment to striking workers.” ASU organiser Russell McGregor said the union was pleased with the result, despite the protracted negotiations.

Braybrook’s drug problem

Movies on the lawn It’s time to pack a picnic, bring some chairs and enjoy a movie in the great outdoors. Brimbank council has joined forces with the Sunshine Business Association to screen free family-friendly movies every fortnight at RT Pollard Gardens in Sunshine until March 28. This Saturday, moviegoers can enjoy twilight entertainment and performers, coffee, ice-cream and food-van wares from 6pm before a screening of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Go to www.brimbank.vic.gov.au for more information. Charlene Macaulay

Braybrook has one of the highest rates of drug trafficking, cultivation and manufacturing offences in the state, according to Victoria Police crime statistics. The Melbourne CBD has the highest rate, with the suburbs of Footscray, Fitzroy and Southbank following. Victorian Drug and Alcohol Association chief executive Sam Biondo said increases in trafficking offences indicated greater demand for illicit drugs, and arrests alone would not reduce the problem. “You actually need to deal with the demand drivers, not just the supply drivers,” he said.

Little support for landfill bid

By Priscilla Moca

Keilor residents say a proposed landfill on Annandale Road would be “disastrous”, while Brimbank council is planning to lodge an objection with neighbouring Hume council to the same proposal. Developer Calleja Properties submitted an application with Hume council late last year for permission to put a maximum of 250,000 cubic metres of soil on its former landfill at 145 Annandale Road, Keilor. A report presented at Brimbank council’s final 2014 meeting said the soil would raise the area’s ground level by up to 17 metres. The report recommended Brimbank council lodge an objection with Hume council. Keilor Residents and Ratepayers Association spokeswoman Susan Jennison said the most “frightening” thing about the proposal was its potential “permanent impact” on Keilor valley. “What’s being altered most obviously here is the skyline, but it’s not just a change to appearance; it’s all those other things that go with it,” she said. “It’ll create dust for residents and more traffic. It will alter the whole essence of the area.” So far, there have been 23 objections to the planning permit, which is scheduled to be considered at Hume council’s February 23 meeting. Calleja Properties could not be contacted before the Star Weekly’s deadline.

Keilor teenager Caydern Bausch’s culinary prowess has been confirmed, with the 17-year-old winning an annual ‘cook off’ hosted by the William Angliss Institute. Caydern went up against 14 other young chefs last month to see who could create the best dish of roasted chicken breast on a bed of couscous, with a salad of julienne vegetables and pomegranate molasses. “The atmosphere was great, it was very exciting … it had a Masterchef vibe to it,” he said. A William Angliss chef demonstrated how to prepare the dish and, armed with a recipe, each participant had 90 minutes to familiarise themselves and cook their own version, which was then presented to a panel of judges. “It was a challenge to recall every small detail the chef gave, but I gave it my best,” Caydern said. The judges praised him for his presentation and swift work methods, as well as for serving the dish at the correct temperature. And Caydern can only improve, as he began a degree in hospitality and kitchen operations at RMIT university earlier this month. “I’ve loved cooking for as long as I can remember,” he said. While lemon meringue has remained a firm favourite to make, his culinary repertoire is growing rapidly. “I’ve started experimenting a lot more with mains recently,” he said. “My next goal is to travel to Brazil and study there for a while. Brazil’s the meat capital and I’m very interested in expanding on that and eventually opening my own restaurant in Australia.”

Chip those pets, owners warned By Priscilla Moca More than 230 pets were impounded in Brimbank last month, most of them over the Christmas-New Year period, highlighting the need to microchip and desex cats and dogs. Brimbank council’s animal management officers picked up 146 cats and 93 dogs in December, close to 10 per cent of the 2736 pets impounded for the whole of 2014. This compares with the 2525 domestic animals impounded in 2012 and 2611 in 2013. According to Brimbank council’s domestic

‘‘

Pets may injure themselves just to get away - Liz Walker [from fireworks]

’’

animal management plan, just a small percentage of animals are reclaimed by their owners after being impounded. RSPCA Victoria shelter manager Liz Walker said thunderstorms such as the one Melbourne had experienced recently and fireworks on occasions such as Australia Day and New Years Eve made

it a very busy period for animal shelters. Ms Walker said pets would do almost anything to escape the sound of fireworks. “They’ll dig, climb or jump over and they may injure themselves just to get away,” she said. “We’ve seen many dogs that have scaled high fences to escape the noise of fireworks.” The RSPCA advises pet owners to anticipate when fireworks are on and plan to be at home, bring pets indoors and provide a safe environment. “Ensure your pet wears identification, particularly a microchip,” a spokesman said. “If your pet should escape from your

property, it will run blindly away without regard to where it is going. When it eventually calms down it will probably not know where it is or how to return. “A microchip gives the greatest chance that you and your pet will be reunited.” Brimbank council is one of just six municipalities that require all dogs and cats to be microchipped and desexed the first time they are registered. There are about 16,500 registered dogs and 4000 registered cats in Brimbank. Registration renewals fall due on April 10 each year. For more information, go to www. brimbank.vic.gov.au.

Word nurseries open up Three libraries in Brimbank are hosting free classes for parents from backgrounds including Vietnam and Burma who want their children to learn more English these school holidays. The sessions, covering English language and basic English computer skills, are open to parents and carers and their primary school children. Classes will be run by a qualified teacher with support from a bicultural worker, who will interpret and ensure participants can understand and get involved. Those attending can also download free English language apps to their smart phones and iPads, and will learn how to use them at home. This Thursday a session for Vietnamese speakers will be held at the St Albans library, starting at 10.30am.

There will be a session open to all language groups at the Deer Park library on January 21, and a Burmese language session at the Sunshine library on January 23. Both start at 10.30am. Booking is needed for the ‘Learning English Together Parent and Child Basic English Computer Class’. For more information and to book, call 9249 4530. Priscilla Moca

She enjoyed the experience so much that she’s giving up sugar for FebFast this year, too. “In the first week, I got a couple of headaches from the sugar withdrawals, but then after that my moods were so even and I felt amazing,” Ms Truong said. “I kept it up for a couple of months after, but old habits die hard.” FebFast national director Josh Comer says the campaign has raised almost $7 million in eight years. “FebFast is the perfect excuse to re-boot your health after the silly season and it gives us a tiny insight into the lives of thousands of Aussie kids struggling with addiction.” To sign up, visit www.febfast.org.au.

National charity FebFast is calling on Brimbank residents to break from unhealthy habits next month and, at the same time, donate money to help vulnerable kids struggling with addiction to get back on track. The campaign calls on participants to say no to vices, such as alcohol, junk food or smoking, for 28 days while raising money for youth-based charities that support and provide early intervention for youth tackling drug, alcohol and mental health issues. Last year, 19 Brimbank residents raised $3368 for the cause. One of them was 31-year-old Huong Truong, of Sunshine North. Ms Truong, who works in Brimbank council’s environment

presses point By Priscilla Moca “Listen, or learn the hard way.” That’s the message hepatitis survivor John Kenney has for Brimbank’s young people about disease prevention. The 59-year-old is one of Hepatitis Victoria’s ‘Hep Heroes’. Something of a human canvas, he uses his striking body art to promote the importance of needle hygiene. Recent figures from Hepatitis Victoria show Brimbank had the highest rate of hepatitis B diagnosis in Victoria in 2012 and the secondhighest number of hepatitis C diagnoses. More than 15 per cent of hepatitis C detections in Brimbank were in people aged 25 or younger. The corresponding state figure was 11 per cent. About one in five diagnoses for hepatitis B in Brimbank were of residents aged 25 and younger – three per cent higher than the statewide figure. These figures do not include newly acquired infections, leading Hepatitis Victoria to predict the numbers are now likely to be even higher. “Only one needle can wreck your life,” Mr Kenney said. “I got my first tattoo from a mate after class when I was 12, but that’s not how I contracted hepatitis. I was addicted to drugs for 35 years, and one night I got desperate and shared a needle. About a week later, I was found halfdead.” Mr Kenney is passionate about sharing his experience and hopes it will resonate with young people. “When I was a youngster, I didn’t want to listen and I’ve had to learn the hard way. You can’t see hepatitis or HIV, but you’ll know about it.” Mr Kenney says he is “one of the lucky ones”.

In 2003 he was declared officially rid of hepatitis. “Don’t share needles, don’t do backyarders and make sure the tattooist you go to has a licence and uses sterilised needles,” he says. “Look after your own life and don’t make the same mistake as me.”

Hepatitis B and C are now 17 times more prevalent in Australia than HIV/AIDS, with most new infections of hepatitis C occurring in people aged 15 to 30. For more information, go to www.hepcvic. org.au.

Helping hoarders let go

Burglar still on the run

By Priscilla Moca Hoarding behaviour is a health threat and a danger that can be found anywhere – and that includes Brimbank. An Albion resident and the Salvation Army Social Housing Service (SASHS) will host an information session about hoarding next month. The session, at SASHS’ Sunshine office on February 19, will address the progressive mental condition and various pathways to help those struggling with hoarding behaviour and their families. According to SASHS support co-ordinator Keith Hunte, the service gets several referrals a week from the Department of Human Services for tenants who have hoarding issues. “We engage with them and conduct a safety check to see if there are working smoke detectors and safe exits [in their homes],” he said Albion-based hoarding consultant Tania Reid has worked with people struggling with hoarding behaviour for the past six years, and says one in 20 households in Victoria are affected. “Brimbank would have the same amount as anywhere else – it doesn’t discriminate to a particular area or group,” Ms Reid said. “I’ve worked with doctors and lawyers who said it was their third winter without heating because they’re too embarrassed to let people in to fix it.” Ms Reid said more than 90 per cent of those who hoard had another mental illness, usually anxiety or depression. “Sometimes grief, loss or trauma can trigger a desire to collect or hold on to things for a sense of control or identity,” she said. Ms Reid’s aim is to work with people to create

or remove anything. I want people to feel they’re in control and ensure they’re comfortable with what’s happening.” The session at 6/147 Harvester Road, Sunshine, starts at 10am. For more information, phone 9312 5799.

Police are seeking a man who was involved in an aggravateburglary in Sunshine West last year. Armed crime squad detectives have released an image (above) of the man they want to speak to. They say he carried a firearm when he broke into a North View Drive factory in the early hours of October 8. The man confronted a female employee at the factory and fired the gun towards her, injuring her arm. Police arrived to find him holding the woman. He kept her close as he edged towards a yellow or orange motorbike that was parked at the front of the factory. He then released the woman and sped off on the motorbike towards Somerville Road. Police opted to treat the victim instead of giving chase. They say the offender was of Caucasian appearance, with a medium build and about 175 centimetres tall. He was wearing a blue hooded jumper, blue pants and a motorcycle helmet. Send information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Priscilla Moca

Homicide detectives need information about a student from India who was “ferociously” killed in Caroline Springs last year. Police say suspected drug dealer Sobin Sebastian (pictured), who used the alias Tre Simmonds, was brutally bashed at his house in the early hours of October 11. Three men, including a life member of the Bros outlaw motorcycle gang, have been charged over the Indian national’s death. Details of Mr Sebastian’s background are scant and he was not known to police at the time of his death. “It did take quite some time for us to identify him. We really have limited details about his history here,” Detective Acting Inspector Stuart Bailey said. Mr Sebastian arrived in Australia from India on a student visa in 2009, and Acting Inspector Bailey said investigators were keen to speak to anyone with information about his movements and interests in Victoria. “We know his family is from Kerala in India … and that he doesn’t have any relatives in Australia.” Acting Inspector Bailey said Mr Sebastian was suspected of being involved in drug trafficking. “We have information to suggest that at the time of his death he was involved in drug activity. Anyone who [is] willing to assist us in this regard [can] come forward anonymously,” he said.

By Priscilla Moca

Mr Sebastian had a shaved head and was heavily tattooed on his arms and upper body. Police believe he often wore hip-hop-style or basketball clothes. Mr Sebastian is understood to have lived in Greensborough and at boarding houses in Preston and Coburg. “I urge anyone with information about Sobin’s background, the addresses he may have attended, friends and/or associates or places of employment to contact police,” Acting Inspector Bailey said. Brothers Peter Dimitrovski, 28, and Robert Dimitrovski, 21, and Bros bikie gang member John Pearce, 66, are due for a committal mention in the Melbourne Magistrates Court next month in relation to the killing.

A social committee member of the Sunshine Baseball Club has been placed on 12 months’ probation for stealing $1222 from the club. He stole the money from the club’s safe while working as a barman in the club rooms. The committeeman had been a member of the club for 12 years. Before Sunshine Court was Evan Maxwell Norquay, 25, clerk of Tudor Road, North Sunshine.

Neighbors Effa Popp and Joe Scimone have tried everything to destroy two giant European wasp nests that are thriving on a vacant block of land in Perret Avenue, St Albans. Mr Scimone, who lives at No.31 in the avenue, even tried pouring a can of petrol down the nests and setting them alight, but was unsuccessful. Mr Scimone, the father of three young children, and next door neighbour Mrs Popp, who has a daughter, fear for their children’s safety.

Police believe two Molotov cocktails thrown through a window at the north campus of Sunshine Secondary College on New Year’s Day were a calculated attempt to cause hundreds of thousands of dollars damage. The fire, which was put out before it caused extensive damage, is the latest in a series of arson attacks in the Northumberland Road-Suffolk Road area, according to police.

Amid the tragedy and despair of the tsunami disaster which hit Asia comes hope and pride in human nature. Brimbank residents opened their hearts, minds and wallets almost immediately as news of the tragedy unfolded.

Where the livin’ is easy Charlene Macaulay visits Adelaide and finds a lot in common with what she loves about Melbourne – it just unfolds at a slower pace. Then, not far away, there’s the magnificent wineries

WHAT’S ON WHAT’S WHAT’S ON ON

“Why Adelaide?” That’s the question I kept hearing after I’d told friends where I was spending my holidays. Well, shame on them! Apart from the stunning wine regions South Australia is renowned for, its capital city is a funky hive of food, culture and entertainment. For Melburnians familiar with good coffee, great restaurants and street art along laneways, Adelaide offers all that and more, at a refreshingly slower pace. Adelaide is an 80-minute flight from Melbourne or an eight-hour drive if you prefer a road trip. If driving, my advice is to leave early in the morning – say, 4 – to avoid traffic. We chose to stay at The Playford hotel, on North Terrace and opposite the Convention Centre and City Casino, with the State Library, SA Museum and Art Gallery a little further down the road. The Playford offers spacious, stylish and, importantly for this traveller, clean rooms. We stayed in a studio spa suite. The Playford restaurant, which has won the gong of ‘Best Restaurant in Accommodation’ for the past three years at the Australian Hotels Association SA awards, is a must-try for both its buffet breakfast and fine-dining dinner menu.

Home cooked goodness – home delivered FINDING the time to cook a nutritious meal every night can often be challenging. Then you need to have a seemingly endless list of ideas to keep the meals ‘new’ and not ‘boring’. If you are finding it testing to come up with a healthy meal options every night, why not freshen up your ideas in the kitchen by calling on the team at Choice Fresh Meals? For almost two decades, the Company has been keeping people well fed without the hassle of preparation, providing meals in our community to: • Seniors who need our meal service to allow them to remain independent • Busy professional people who don’t have the time to prepare nourishing food • People with an ongoing illness who are unable to cook for themselves. A couple who have taken advantage of the service Choice Fresh Meals offers are Jack and Mavis Kennedy. Both 86, the couple decided to try Choice Fresh Meals after Mavis had heard good reports from friends. “I belong to seniors and we began talking about meals one day and someone said they were using the company and we decided to give it a try”, Mavis said. “The main reason we did it was that if anything happens to me, Jack would struggle to carry on with preparing food. And the same goes for me if something happened to Jack. It’s a nice break from cooking every night and they have a large choice of 10006735-01-a11Mar©MMP meals…everyone has something they don’t like, so it is nice to have a good range to choose 14 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES WEEKLY from.” “We have tried a few different services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals,” Mavis said. “It’s conveniently delivered to us by Choice Fresh Meals who also now deliver fresh bread and milk and I look forward to not having to cook for the three nights… it’s a nice break. 1133039-DJ19-14

This award-winning Porter Davis-built house is not only notable for its vast living spaces but for its all-class appointments and internal architecture. It has no less than six bedrooms and four chic bathrooms; the huge main bedroom (with floorboards) has a walk-in robe and the en suite is a luxury space. Floorboards begin in the grand entry hall and flow into a lounge room, a sitting room under a double-height ceiling, a dining area and a family room abutting a glam kitchen. A stone, return island bench, walk-in pantry and stainless-steel appliances (including dual ovens) equip the cooking arena. A carpeted mezzanine retreat works well as a rumpus space for the kids. An integrated outdoor zone is a pleasing space, with a pond adding a serene note. The backyard has a water feature and landscaping, and there are side gates. Close to station, shops and schools, the property has ducted heating,evaporative cooling and a double garage.

This early-era weatherboard is the sort of place renovators would love to get their teeth into and, with a location literally on the doorstep of Sunshine’s vibrant shopping precinct and an easy walk away from the station, has the potential to become a prized asset. High ceilings, deep skirts, original doors (some richly panelled), floorboards, sash windows, strapped ceilings and picture rails are a great starting point to transform the interior into a stylish pad. There are three bedrooms, a bathroom and two toilets. The lounge room has double-door entry off the central hallway and a gas heater, while the kitchen has an adjoining meals area. Out back, under the shade of a tree, there’s a self-contained bungalow with separate meter, and the good-sized backyard is ready for imaginative ideas. An extra perk is the short walk required to get to schools and parks.

In a sought-after location, this is a house set up for virtually zero maintenance when it comes to outdoor areas, with the front yard laid with concrete and the backyard entirely covered with pebbles. So if a busy lifestyle precludes weekend gardening, this one could be of particular interest – and those with gardening in mind have the option to transform the back into a green wedge. There are three bedrooms (two with robes) and a study; the main bedroom has a walk-in robe and full en suite. Living areas are a lounge room and a large family-meals area adjoining the kitchen; each of these rooms is tiled (more easy upkeep). The galley-style kitchen has plenty of top and bottom cupboards, wide fridge recess and gas appliances. All windows are dressed in vertical blinds, and ducted heating and a split-system take care of seasonal comfort. The property, with roller shutters and double garage, is within a walk of schools, Victoria University, parks, shops and transport.

On about 665 square metres in a quiet street, this house offers a great start-up for a first-home buyer or an investor wanting to start or add to a property portfolio. Each of three bedrooms has built-in wardrobes and share a bathroom across the hallway; there’s a second enclosed toilet in the laundry. Floorboards are a feature in the lounge room and the good-sized family-meals area where there’s a series or archways, one of which is a servery from the updated skylit kitchen. A stack of blonde timber-veneer cupboards, dishwasher, stainless-steel wall oven and 900mm gas cooker under a canopy rangehood equip the cooks’ space. Ducted heating and evaporative cooling take care of climate control. The property has a steel garage in the backyard where there’s plenty of scope for a gardener’s tricks, and a patch of concrete invites a future pergola. Easy access to schools, shops, transport and Western Ring Road are other attractions.

(Ben Thomas)

In 2013 I travelled to McLaren Vale to look at dirt. There was a fine line-up of wines to taste, too, but the dirt was the star of the show. It wasn’t just any dirt, but a tapestry of ancient soil formations that date back hundreds of millions of years with names including Pirramimma Sandstone, Blanche Point, Kurrajong and Ngaltinga formations. To anyone driving around the Vale that day, our small group must have been quite a sight as we stopped at roadside cuttings to point at and talk about the ancient soil formations. Since 2009 many of McLaren Vale’s winemakers have made small batches of shiraz grown on individual soils to get an understanding of what influences the soils have on the wines. They bottle the wines under the Scarce Earth banner. The idea is to bottle a shiraz from a single vineyard, making it in a hands-off manner to give the dirt the best chance to stamp its character on the wine. The fourth Scarce Earth vintage has just been released. Having tasted wines from each release, I can tell you that for pure enjoyment the latest releases, from the 2012 vintage, are the best yet. There’s a purity to the wines that also helps tell the story of McLaren Vale’s ancient soils. It’s a story more about structure and tannin than flavour, says Chapel Hill’s Michael Fragos, one of Scarce Earth’s driving forces since its conception. “The differences [we see] now we’re five years in are the tannins: their roundness and the shape of the tannins,” he says. “There are flavour differences in shiraz depending on where you are but, in 2012, which was an even,

fast-ripening year, I don’t think there’s a huge flavour difference in the wines. “But when you start drilling into the structure, the mouthfeel and the tannins are where you really start to see differences. “[With] Christies Beach formation and Ngaltinga black cracking clays and heavier soil profiles, you’re getting more primary fruit characters as a rule of thumb. The wines have more upfront fruit and rounder tannins. “The finer soils, such as Tapley Hill formation and North Maslin sands and Blanche Point, where there’s shallower soils and rock over sandstone, you tend to find the tannins are finer and grittier.” Fragos says that the focus is shifting away from simply soil to the other elements of terroir. “Early on we focused hard on the geology front and we’ve now taken a step back and are also recognising all the other topographic differences that affect the grapes – there’s soil, climate, aspect,” he says. “If you’re closer to the sea you have sea breezes and if you’re inland you are more influenced by the gully winds.” We’re only a few chapters into the Scarce Earth story and I’m already looking forward to the 2013 instalment. Scarce Earth wines are made in small quantities and are available direct from the wineries online. Some should also be available at Melbourne’s better wine merchants.

SPORT Devils fix eyes on finals

IN THE DOGHOUSE

By Lance Jenkinson

Jamie Manning sends one down for Keilor Park. (Wayne Hawkins)

the players that has seen him come around to believe they can make it a campaign to remember. The bowling attack, influenced by a cabal of Jarrod Freckleton (16 wickets at 7), Barlow (14 at 8), Jones (10 at 7), Joe Carland (7 at 7) and Jamie Manning (6 at 24), has been extremely tight, conceding a competition-low 814 runs. They’ve also managed to produce an adequate supply of runs, led by Manning (218) and Jones (216), to win matches. The real highlight for the Devils is their energy in the field. They are nagging at the opposition from ball one and unrelenting until stumps. The lead-by-example Jones is the driving force, with the youthful enthusiasm of a 19 year-old skipper (a former England under-age international at 17s and 19s level and Lancashire second XI player at county level) rubbing off on his teammates.

“You see the guys in the field, every single ball they’re on it; they just don’t stop until the 10 wickets fall,” Baldwin said. Jones might be young, but he’s no pushover. He, along with Barlow, demand excellence at training and on match day, and with a large percentage of the Devils being home grown, having an outsider provide a bit of spark has been welcomed. “He’s put a lot of structures in place in relation to training and professionalism and he’s making them a lot more accountable for their role in the team,” Baldwin said. “Winning games of cricket makes all the difference, too. “Everyone wants to be a part of it. Nothing beats being part of a winning team.” The Devils will pay a visit to arch-rivals Keilor for the big local derby in a one-day game on Saturday.

Cougars ready to pounce Kealba-Green Gully has hit the ground running in the new year with a 48-run win over Strathmore Heights in the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association Luscombe Shield at Boeing Reserve on Saturday. With victories either side of the holiday break, the Cougars have maintained a tight grip on second position on the table and remain within touching distance of ladder-leading defending champion Pascoe Vale Central. A captain’s knock of 46 from Evan Long set the Strathmore Heights game up for the Cougars, who posted 179 in 39.3 overs. The middle order fired, with Andrew Lambropoulos (29) and Andrew Webb (27) giving the scoreboard a late boost. The Heights gave the visiting Cougars plenty of assistance in the form of an ugly 29 extras, including 15 wides and nine no-balls. Big-hitting opener Josh Weymouth tried to carry the Heights over the line, but once he was removed for 64 his side collapsed to a meagre 131 in 31.5 overs. Long made it a complete performance, taking 4-20 off 6.5. Burnside Springs United had an upset win over Buckley Park at Burnside Heights Recreation Reserve. United posted 6-171 and had the Beavers all out for just 69 in a one-sided affair. It was United’s third win of the season. Lance Jenkinson 46 BRIMBANK & NORTH WEST STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 13, 2015

■ Happy New Year and welcome to another jam-packed year of sport in the west. Sadly, I start the year paying tribute to two western suburbs stalwarts who passed away during the holiday period – Gwen Buckingham and Lindsay Howarth. Gwen, and the Buckingham family, were heavily involved in the foundation of the Hoppers Crossing Football and Cricket clubs. Gwen’s husband Ian was one of the club’s pioneers, her son Shane is the football club president and grandson Ryan is one of the rising stars of the Warriors seniors. Gwen’s contribution to the club was enormous and she will be sadly missed. Lindsay Howarth, who played more than 300 games for Spotswood Football Club, was awarded WRFL life membership last September. The Howarth name has been at Spotty for decades – Lindsay’s father Ken played in the 1946 under-19 premiership side with my father. Lindsay was one of those people who just did whatever needed doing, whether it was coaching juniors, running water or helping out. ■ One

of the joys of my summer job at SEN is catching up with some great sportspeople. Last week I spoke with Ken Eastwood, a Footscray cricket legend, Victorian Sheffield Shield player and a man who played one test for Australia. Eastwood played in the controversial Sydney test when the English team walked off. On YouTube it is known as the ‘John Snow incident’. The things I took from Eastwood in the interview were gems. The 79-year-old Point Cook resident still umpires in a local competition, and though he played only the one test, he has two baggy green caps. It seems when they gave him one to try on for size they neglected to ask for its return. Being a good western suburbs boy he did not point out their error and put it in his kit bag.

■ Australia Day will again see Pennell Reserve transformed into an elite athletics venue for the running of the Maribyrnong Gift. The day kicks off at noon and will include kid’s races, a barbecue, stalls and market tents. There will be a bookie on track. ■ There

is lots of footy news to share, though I am mindful there is still time for more changes. I am never convinced of what club’s say until the clearances open and we really see who is going were. I have heard that a lot of Deer Park premiership players have moved on. Kevin Hillier

Even the man at the head of the Keilor Park Cricket Club, president Dale Baldwin, was somewhat surprised to see his club perched on top of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association north division ladder, without a blemish, at the turn of the new year. The Devils had banked on a bounce-back summer, inspired by new coach Andy Barlow and the brave appointment of young import Robbie Jones as captain – but not to this extent. Among the stragglers last season, the Devils avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth, a mere 0.40 points to be exact. They were at least competitive last summer, but showed no signs of taking the league by storm this time around, which is exactly what they did before the holiday break. The Devils claimed six victories on the trot – five on first innings and an outright – to present a genuine premiership threat. Baldwin told Star Weekly the club had to capitalise on its hot start and maintain its focus of returning to the finals. “Everything is going very well, a lot better than we expected,” Baldwin said. “We always wanted to play finals – that’s the goal every year – but based on the last two years, we haven’t gone as well as we wanted and we had a bit of a rebuild and restructure with our senior coach and captain. “We’ve got some new players as well and thought it would take a little bit longer for it to gel as a group, but it’s come along a lot quicker than we expected,” he said. “Now we’re in this position, we’ve got to keep pushing forward and keep the standards where they’re at.” Three months ago, Baldwin might not have been so expectant, but it’s the desire of

Eagles’ eye on top flight By Lance Jenkinson Sunshine Eagles coach Earl Byrne has urged his players to be ruthless if they want automatic promotion to Baseball Victoria’s top flight. The Eagles went into the Christmas holidays with a two-game lead over the rest of the competition and in pole position for the minor premiership, which carries the added bonus of automatic promotion. They returned to the diamond on Saturday to batter St Kilda 12-0 at Barclay Reserve and improve their season’s record to 15-1. “Our aim at the start of the season was to make finals and reassess from there,” Byrne told Star Weekly. “We’re going to make it at this stage unless something goes horribly wrong, so now the goal is to try and finish on top because that guarantees us going back up to first division, whether we win the title or not.” The Eagles have assembled a quality team with a view to making it an unforgettable year. Opposition sides can expect no mercy. Canadian import Jaret Chatwood has delivered as promised. The multi-position player has excelled in all areas, be it at shortstop or third base, in the batter’s box or on the mound. Chatwood leads the Eagles in runs scored. Rory Meddick has been cornerstone of the pitching, now recording up to 100 pitches a game. Veteran Matthew Davis has been the other dominant hitter; Shannon Hornstra’s versatility in the field has been invaluable; and new recruit Lewis Weldon, ex-Werribee Giants, has settled in well as catcher. The Eagles will face Springvale in four days with the first coming on the road on Sunday and the return match at the Melbourne Ball Park in a Wednesday mid-week fixture.

EDFL keeps its Saturday bias Good Friday will be a hectic day for Brimbank and surrounding clubs in the Essendon District Football League. Keilor kicks off its premier division season in a showdown with defending premiers Strathmore at Lebanon Reserve with the round five fixture brought forward to accommodate the marquee event. Taylors Lakes and Hillside will meet in a division 1 local derby at Lionheart Reserve on Good Friday. There will also be EDFL games played on Anzac Day, which this year fall on a Saturday, and Queens Birthday. EDFL general manager Marc Turri said the majority of games would remain in the traditional Saturday afternoon timeslot, with a smattering of showpiece events. “It’s exciting to have more twilight football and games played on public holidays,” he said. “We recognise the popularity of Saturday afternoon at the footy and we believe this fixture retains the feel of community football, given the vast majority of matches are still in the traditional Saturday afternoon timeslot.” Keilor Park will start its season with a showpiece event of its own, hosting Roxburgh Park in a twilight match in round 1, while Burnside Heights will have a tough trip to Moonee Valley. The round one fixtures will be played on April 11. Lance Jenkinson

47 BRIMBANK & NORTH WEST STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 13, 2015

SPORT BRIMBANK.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

St Albans Gift meet set for fast times and a big crowd The St Albans Gift meeting has attracted more than 800 entries. There will be 150 more competitors than last year and, as a result, organisers are tipping the crowd for the Victorian Athletics League meeting at Kings Park Reserve on Saturday to exceed 2000. According to St Albans Sports Club communications manager Belinda Keenan, the gift is popular with runners because the Gillespie Road venue helps deliver fast times. The early-season timing of the event has athletes itching to compete after the holiday break. “The quality of the ground has improved … the runners like that because they’re getting fast times,” Keenan said. A major drawcard will be national women’s 400-metre champion Morgan Mitchell, who has entered three events. Mitchell is a western suburbs local who competed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last year. She put her name on the map in April when she claimed the national 400-metre title at Lakeside Stadium.

“It’s good for the stars who are in training for Olympics and things like that, that they do these events to keep themselves fit and win some money,” Keenan said. “Being a local, a lot of people would have heard of her [Mitchell], particularly the athletics community, so we hope that will bring more people out to the event.” Mitchell will host a training session for Little Athletics kids from 1.45pm. “They all know who she is, so it’s exciting for them to meet someone who they can aspire to be like,” Keenan said. “They’re really excited about meeting her.” David Fenollar was last year’s champion in the 120-metre open gift in a photo finish ahead of Nathan Riali and Cam Dunbar. It is not confirmed that Fenollar will be back to defend his title. The final of the Gift will be at 9.15pm with a host of other races taking place from 2.20pm to 9.45pm in what will be a bumper seven-hour meeting. Lance Jenkinson

Clean-out at Cavaliers By Lance Jenkinson A changing of the guard will take place at Green Gully Cavaliers in the National Premier League next season. The Cavs, back-to-back champions of the Victorian Premier League in 2011 and ’12 and 2013 Dockerty Cup winners, have undergone a significant makeover to usher in a new era. The only notable returnees from last year’s squad at this stage are goalkeeper Kieran Gonzales, defender Rodrigo Vargas and striker Mathew Sanders. Otherwise the line-up is all new. Cavs general manager Raymond Mamo told Star Weekly drastic changes were long overdue. “The recruiting has been pretty busy this year,” Mamo said. “We’ve had to look at a new playing group basically. “Every year you should turn players over, which we haven’t done for quite a while now. “Having said that, the teams that we did have for those number of years were successful, so that made it hard. “It was time that the club brought in some new faces.” Coach Slobode Stojcevski has almost a blank canvas to work from. Stojcevski was reappointed to the role after impressing as caretaker coach towards the back end of last season. He will be assisted again by Nick Radecki. The disassembling of last year’s squad has reinvigorated the dressing room and positions that veterans previously occupied are up for grabs and some of the new faces are generating a buzz of excitement. Nikola Markovski, a striker with professional experience in Macedonia and Greece, has been training the house down. He was brought into the Cavs with a view to scoring goals – and plenty of them. “I’m pretty excited with this signing,” Mamo said. “He’s played at a very good level overseas and it would be equivalent to A-League. “He looks very good on the training track, so I’m hoping that he’ll bring a few goals to the club.” The Cavs have brought in exciting young imports Matthew Breeze and Vitaka Rodriguez to bolster the attack. The pair both played with FC Bendigo in NPL1 last season. Breeze, a one-time professional with Peterborough United and Worcester City in England, is a hard-working winger with a keen eye for a goal. Rodriguez, a Spaniard who was once a youth team player at La Liga club Real Betis and played senior football for Tenerife, will 48 BRIMBANK & NORTH WEST STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 13, 2015

excite with his skill and vision in the attacking midfield position. The Cavs have also brought in goalkeeper Rani Dowisha, once on the books at Melbourne Victory; midfielder Tom Murphy, the young player of the year for Far North Queensland FC in the NPLQ; versatile defender Amadu Koroma out of nearby Port Melbourne Sharks; and Alon Blumgart, a former Melbourne

Heart youth player from Bendigo. Blumgart is rated so highly that he is seen as the likely replacement in a defensive midfield post for outgoing veteran Jeffrey Fleming. It is just over a month until Green Gully fans get to see their new boys in action. The Cavs will kick off the NPL season in a Monday night showdown with Northcote City at Green Gully Reserve on February 23.

Hot-shot start for North West The North West Metropolitan Cricket Association has made a blazing start to the Victorian Metropolitan Cricket Union under-18 Phil Arnold Shield with a perfect three-from-three in the opening week of the tournament. The NWMCA is the only undefeated team heading into the second week after wins over West Gippsland, North Metro and Box Hill Reporter District. The opening day brought NWMCA a resounding 63-run victory over West Gippsland. NWMCA put 181 on the board after half centuries to Brody Psaila (56) and Reece Tompkins (51). West Gippsland was rolled for 118 with Jordan Taylor (5-25) snaring five wickets. NWMCA kept the ball rolling on day two with a 125-run dismantling of North Metro. The side again displayed its batting strength to post 8-196, with Tompkins (39no) and Taylor (34) featuring in an important 70-run eighth wicket stand. Five NWMCA bowlers took two wickets to have North Metro all out for 71. NWMCA passed its biggest test of the week in round three when it edged out Box Hill Reporter District by 10 runs in a thriller. NWMCA batted first, posting a commanding 189, including 70 from Psaila. The team needed every one of those runs as Box Hill got close before it was bowled out for 179. In the under-16s Jim Beitzel Shield, NWMCA also maintained a flawless record with three wins in the opening week. It took care of Gisborne District, Western Region Junior and Box Hill Reporter District on consecutive days. Anthony Cafari (101 runs) and Charles Bibby (98) were the NWMCA’s leading run-scorers across the opening three matches, while Luke Brock (five wickets) was the pick of the bowlers. In the under-14s Russell Allen Shield, NWMCA won just one of its opening three matches to finish the opening week in second-last place. Sunshine could manage only one win from three games in the opening week of the under-15 JG Craig Shield. Lance Jenkinson

MOTOR Big car with a small fuel bill By David Bonnici

NISSAN PATHFINDER TI 4WD HYBRID

It’s often the little things that make people choose a car. For example, there’s a host of excellent turbo diesel SUVs that go great and provide oily-rag fuel consumption, yet many people are worried about getting dirty hands at the diesel pump. While that’s a small price to pay for a powerful engine with small-car economy, there is a cleaner alternative in the form of Nissan’s hybrid Pathfinder. Don’t be fooled by the hybrid badge. It feels as if there’s a big V6 under the bonnet, rather than a 15-kilowatt electric motor working alongside a 2.5-litre four-cylinder supercharged petrol engine that supposedly uses 15 per cent less fuel than the regular V6 petrol Pathfinder. Nissan claims it gives a combined economy figure of 8.5 litres per 100 kilometres, but I was getting high nines, which is still good for a vehicle this size. The latest Pathfinder is more refined than its predecessors. Its stylish exterior lines mask its two-tonne bulk and it’s only when you get behind the wheel that you realise how big it is. But it’s certainly no truck. It’s a pleasant car to drive, with good handling and a comfortable ride balanced nicely between firm and spongy. The top-of-the-range Ti Pathfinder I tested is full of creature comforts, from leather seats with heating and cooling and multiple adjustments in the front. It’s a true seven-seater, with the back row folding up easily and a middle row, with a middle seat that will fit an adult and slide back and forth.

Price

From $74,879 (range starts at $47,001 for ST 2WD)

Techy stuff

2.5-litre supercharged four-cylinder petrol/15kW electric motor

Fuel economy

I averaged 9.8 litres/100kms combined

Passengers also have the benefit of their own air-conditioner settings and DVD screens in the front headrests, which are easier on the neck than ceiling-mounted units. With the third row seats in use, it has the same rear storage at the back as a large sedan – although, of course, you can fold the two rear rows down for van-like space. One point of difference I really liked was

“Around View” parking display. With cameras on all sides of the car, it provides a 360-degree view when reversing or moving forwards slowly. ‘ It also puts the images together to make it look as if you’re looking at the car and surrounding obstacles from above. It makes parallel parking a five-metre beast like this in a tight spot simpler and safer.

The 13-speaker Bose sound system is epic, though the Bluetooth connection cut out a lot. Of course the Nissan Pathfinder is also a handy four-wheel-drive, although in my time with it I never got to test it off-road. This is a beautifully appointed luxury family car that’s well worth a look. It is available at Western Nissan, Caroline Springs, www.westernnissan.com.au
