$8m sports plan revealed By Laura Michell Plans to upgrade three key Hume sporting reserves have been released by the council, paving the way for close to $8 million in works. Last week, the council adopted draft concept plans for Craigieburn’s DS Aitken Reserve, Westmeadows’ Willowbrook Reserve and Sunbury’s John McMahon Reserve in response to calls from sporting clubs and community groups for these reserves to be upgraded. The council proposes to spend $3.6 million at DS Aitken Reserve, which was built more than 50 years ago.

Puppy love reaps reward
The rework of the pavilion is the jewel in the - Casey Nunn crown
(Joe Mastroianni)
’’
Upgrades to floodlights, tennis club rooms, the skate park and playground are planned, and the ageing pavilion will also have female change rooms included, and better umpire facilities. This reserve is used by Craigieburn cricket, football and Superules clubs. Entry to the reserve will be relocated from Craigieburn Road to Dianne Avenue to improve traffic flow, and extra parking spots will be created around the ground. Councillor Casey Nunn said DS Aitken reserve was the “most important” sporting ground in Craigieburn. “It is the historical home of the football, cricket and tennis clubs. It really is exciting we are spending that scale of money at the precinct,” she said. “The rework of the pavilion is the jewel in the crown of the reserve.” More than $1.2 million will be spent at Willowbrook Reserve, with works to extend social rooms, upgrade lighting, provide more parking, upgrade the tennis club and improve change rooms. Cr Geoff Porter said the works will help bring Meadow Valley ward facilities into the 21st century. East Sunbury’s John McMahon Reserve will get a second oval, netball courts, a playground and change rooms, as well as extended club rooms, at a cost of more than $3.9 million. Cr Jack Ogilvie said the upgrades had been almost 15 years in the planning. Draft plans are out for public comment for four weeks from October 25. Details: www.hume.vic.gov.au
In the past two years, Kathryn Archibald has welcomed 15 puppies into her home. The Craigieburn resident is a volunteer puppy carer for Seeing Eye Dogs Australia, who helps train the puppies in their role of assisting people who are blind. Puppy carers such Ms Archibald look after the dogs until they are ready to start formal training with Seeing Eye Dogs Australia. The pups are looked after by volunteers from about eight weeks old until they are 12 to 15 months old. Carers are asked to teach the puppies basic obedience. Ms Archibald says carers socialise the puppies, helping them to experience the world and get used to noises and different smells, as well as teaching them good manners and toilet training. “It’s about caring and loving a dog like you would your own dog.” Seeing Eye Dogs Australia is looking for more puppy carers in the northern suburbs. All food and vet costs are covered and carers receive regular visits from puppy training specialists as well as opportunities for socialising their puppies with other seeing eye dogs. Program co-ordinator Wendy Lake said more volunteers were needed so more dogs could be trained. To volunteer, visit seda.visionaustralia.org KATHRYN ARCHIBALD AND ELMER

Council veterans call it a day By Laura Michell Two long-serving Hume councillors will step down from council prior to the October poll. Current mayor and Meadow Valley ward councillor Helen Patsikatheodorou and Jacksons Creek ward councillor Jack Ogilvie informed colleagues of their decision to depart at last week’s council meeting. Cr Ogilvie is stepping down after 26 years as a councillor, having served on the Bulla council before the formation of Hume council.
Cr Patsikatheodorou has been on council for eight years. Both have been mayor twice. Cr Patsikatheodorou said recent health problems led to her decision not to contest the October 22 election. She was first elected to council in 2008, serving as mayor in 2011. She became mayor for the second time last October, two years after discovering she had breast cancer. Over the past year, Cr Patsikatheodorou has worn something pink every day to
remind men in the community to remind the women in their lives to have breast screens. She said she hoped she had encouraged other women to become future leaders. Cr Ogilvie thanked the Sunbury community for its ongoing support, adding that he has enjoyed his time as a councillor. The local government veteran had a stroke last July, but returned to the council in October to continue representing the community he loves. “Everything must come to an end, and this Councillors Jack Ogilvie and Helen is my end,” Cr Ogilvie said. Patsikatheodorou will step down. (Supplied)

Durga leads the dance Close to 1000 people are expected to pack the grounds of Bundoora’s Parade College next month in the name of Hindu goddess Durga. The Northern Gujarati Association of Melbourne (NGAM) is hosting its annual Navratri festival on Saturday, October 8, bringing families together to dance and sing. The association has been hosting the festival, which honours Durga, the goddess of power, since 2012. Last year’s festival was attended by 850 people.
NGAM founder Nimesh Shah said the family-friendly event was one of the biggest Indian dance festivals in Melbourne. He said that in India, millions of people donned colourful clothing to dance and sing in the streets during nine nights and 10 days in early October. Mr Shah hopes NGAM’s event will help Indian-born Australians connect to their culture and history. “There are so many people in the northern suburbs with Indian backgrounds so we felt it
1216121-DJ06-16 10035628-01
was important to host these events where they can locally celebrate.” But Mr Shah says the festival is not just for Indian families. “It’s a family event anyone can come to; it’s not just limited to Indian people. If you come one time, you will come every time; you will enjoy it that much,” he said. Tickets are $12 and are available by calling 0412 227 353.
Fifty people with outstanding warrants valued at more than $246,000 have been caught following a sheriff’s blitz at Lalor. The sheriff’s operation at VR Michael Reserve on September 8 pulled over drivers with 593 outstanding warrants with the help of automatic number plate recognition technology. It was run by police and sheriff’s officers from the north-west region as part of a focus on enforcing outstanding debts with tough sanctions and penalties. Payments were received from 25 people on the day, finalising 123 warrants totalling more than $43,700. Three drivers had their wheels clamped and were required to arrange payment before clamps were removed. A further 22 drivers, with 401 warrants totalling nearly $167,500, were told they would have their drivers’ licences or registrations suspended if they do not pay their fines within seven days. Victorian sheriff Brendan Facey said his office often targeted operations around events, shopping centres and festivities. “People issued with an infringement notice have a number of opportunities to deal with their matter before a warrant is issued,” he said. “Sheriff officers have a range of enforcement options, including suspending a driver’s licence or registration … seizing or selling assets.” Details about outstanding fines can be followed up at 1300 SHERIFF.

Call for action on nightmare road By Laura Michell
Kids empower women to ride
Hume council has called for traffic lights at a dangerous Craigieburn intersection where drivers are increasingly frustrated by delays. The council wants VicRoads to apply for Blackspot funding for lights at the intersection of Craigieburn Road and Cimberwood Drive, with a report finding it was the site of three casualty crashes between January 2011 and December 2015. Council officers found Craigieburn Road carries more than 900 vehicles per hour, while about 136 vehicles use Cimberwood Road each hour. They said that installing traffic lights would improve traffic flow and safety, with the intersection currently controlled by a give-way sign. Their report also found that during the 3-4pm peak, drivers waited close to four minutes before being able to safely turn right from Cimberwood Drive to Craigieburn Road. The report was compiled in response to a petition signed by 90 people, which was presented to the council in April. Aitken ward councillor Alan Bolton described the intersection as a nightmare. “I use that road every day of the week, and I thank my lucky stars I have not been one of those casualties,” he said. “It causes a lot of angst to drivers in peak hour traffic.” Fellow Aitken ward councillor Drew Jessop said he would not be surprised if there had been more casualty crashes than those reported. He said while he supported calls for traffic lights to be installed at the intersection, he felt duplicating Craigieburn Road would be the best way forward. Preliminary plans for the duplication have been completed by VicRoads, but there is no funding or timeframe for the project.
A team of cyclists from Epping’s Al Siraat College will put their fitness to the test to raise money to help children with cancer. A team of six staff members and one student will take part in the Great Cycle Challenge, meaning they will ride their bikes throughout October. Organiser Tanya Kubitza and her daughter, Mariam, 9, aim to ride 500 kilometres over the month, while the others hope to cover at least 100 kilometres. The team hopes to raise $3500 for the Children’s Medical Research Institute. Ms Kubitza, who has been taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge since 2013, said she wanted to do all she could to help sick children. “Having a sick family member is hard enough, but if you have a kid fighting for life, it’s horrible,” she said. “If kids can struggle through cancer, I can do this challenge.” Ms Kubitza also hopes to inspire other women to ride bikes. “I hope I can be a role model for other women who cover up. I want them to know that anyone can ride,” she said.

North cities share cruelty record By Laura Michell Hume and Whittlesea have been named as hotspots for animal cruelty by the RSPCA. The animal welfare organisation received 704 reports of animal cruelty from the two municipalities in 2015-16. Three hundred and sixty-two reports related to animal cruelty cases in Hume, while 342 reports were in Whittlesea. Dogs accounted for more than half the reports from the two areas (416), while 108 related to cats. Horses accounted for 86.
‘‘
Even one cruelty issue is - Liz Walker too many
’’
With 556 reports, Casey had the highest number in the state. RSPCA Victorian chief executive Liz Walker said most reports concerned hygiene, grooming and housing conditions of animals, followed by concerns about animals being underweight and having
insufficient food, water or shelter. She said the number of animal cruelty reports made to the organisation was on the rise. Across Victoria, 11,840 reports were made last year. “Even one cruelty issue is too many yet the number of reports we receive is steadily rising every year,” Dr Walker said. “We know the community is becoming more concerned about animal welfare, which may be part of the reason for the continued increase of reports. What’s particularly disturbing is the fact that many of the issues reported to us involve very basic animal welfare matters, such
as the way animals are being housed and fed.” Dr Walker said RSPCA Victoria would use the data to target its prevention activity to the areas that need it most. “We know that prevention is the key to ending cruelty. “RSPCA Victoria wants to partner with communities to find practical ways to boost animal welfare by improving local knowledge and support for animal owners, and we’ll continue to enforce the law and rehabilitate animals that suffer harm.” To make an animal cruelty report, call 9224 2222 or visit www.rspcavic.org

Hume joins billion dollar club By Laura Michell Hume’s building boom has reached new highs, after the combined value of permits issued reached $1 billion for the first time in one year. Data from the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) shows, in 2015-16, building permits valued at $1.1 billion were issued in the city – up from $707 million the previous financial year. Helping to put the municipality in the VBA’s ‘billion dollar club’ was a $73 million building permit for a laboratory and office building

and associated works at Mickleham, plus a $36 million extension to a Broadmeadows pharmaceutical production facility. A permit for a community centre at Craigieburn, valued at $35 million, and an office and industrial building at Mickleham,
valued at $34 million, were also issued, while domestic building permits accounted for $658 million – up from $568 million in 2014-15. Hume had the seventh highest value of building permits in the state, behind Melbourne, where permits valued at $4.1 billion were issued last financial year. Building permits valued at $951 million were issued in Whittlesea in 2015-16, down from $1.13 billion in 2014-15. Hume council spokeswoman Sintiya Khananishoo said 3352 building permits were issued in Hume in 2015-16. She said 3044 were
for domestic building work, while 308 were for commercial jobs, valued at $431 million. VBA chief executive Prue Digby said the reported cost of building works in Hume reflected the building boom across the state. Statewide, $31.5 billion of building permits were issued in the past financial year. “The value is 12.3 per cent higher than the record $28 billion set in the 2104-15 financial year,” Ms Digby said. “The number of building permits statewide also rose 4.4 per cent to 110,069, which is the second highest number on record after the 113,669 reported in 2009-10.”

Workshops help break ice cycle By Laura Michell Craigieburn families are being offered workshops designed to help them support loved ones battling ice addiction. Turning Point drug and alcohol centre brings its Breakthrough: ice education for families sessions to the suburb later this month, to help people better understand ice and its impact on families and communities. The centre’s education officer, Dean Rogut, said the workshops cover what ice is and how it affects users’ mental health.
‘‘
Ice is one of those drugs that affects everyone … it - Dean Rogut affects so many
’’
Participants also learn about the treatment options available to their loved ones, as well as support services for families and friends. “Often families dealing with this get lost. They spend so much time caring for their loved one that they forget about themselves,” Mr
Rogut said. “We talk about strategies and what people can actually do when dealing with this. “We talk about boundaries, communication skills and self care, and how to help their loved ones through recovery.” The workshops are part of the state government’s ice action plan, which was released last year. Turning Point has been running the workshops across the state since last October. Mr Rogut said the centre’s aim was to speak to as many people as possible to let families know they are not alone.
He estimates that 1600 people have already taken part in workshops. “They are going through what they are going through. There is help available for them. They can reach out to get support,” he said. “Ice is one of those drugs that affects everyone. A relatively small population is using ice, but it affects so many people.” The two-hour workshops are on Wednesday, September 21 and 28, at Craigieburn Headspace, Craigieburn Central, 6.30-8.30pm. To attend workshops, go online at: www. turningpoint.org.au/education/breakthrough
Help is part of culture Siyoda Jayawardene is proud of her Sri Lankan heritage. The Willmott Park Primary School grade six student spends her free time promoting Sri Lankan culture to the Craigieburn community, by taking part in dance performances at community events and giving speeches at school and her church. She is also a host of a children’s segment on the Sri Lankan Morning Show on Channel 31, interviewing other children. And, in 2014, Siyoda wrote a book of poems to raise money for Sri Lankan charity Sole, which provides shoes for children in need. Earlier this month, her dedication to her community and helping others was recognised at the Fred Hollows humanity awards at State Parliament. Siyoda was one of 44 grade six students to receive the award, which is given to young people who inspire and challenge other
students to show care and compassion for others, and who make a positive impact at their school or in their community. She was nominated for the award by her teacher, Adam Sayers, who wanted to recognise the impact Siyoda has made on both the school and Sri Lankan communities. Siyoda, who has been volunteering since she was in prep, said she enjoyed promoting Sri Lankan culture and getting to know other people in Craigieburn. Laura Michell

Hume council hopes shoppers and traders at Dallas shopping centre will feel safer following a $1.25 million upgrade to the Dargie Court strip. Works to improve safety and modernise the shopping centre were completed earlier this month, with the council improving lighting and drainage, installing new access ramps and upgrading access steps. New street furniture was also installed, while Dallas’s multiculturalism was recognised through the addition of mosaic tiles and pavement markings. The state government contributed $250,000 to the project from its Public Safety Infrastructure Fund. Broadmeadows state MP Frank McGuire said the upgrade had created a brighter shopping hub that would benefit traders and shoppers. He said the centre had previously lacked adequate lighting, making it a target for crime, including graffiti, property damage and theft. Mr McGuire said he was confident the work would encourage more people to shop at the centre, stimulating economic development in the south of Hume. Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou said the upgrade had been one of the council’s top priorities over the past four years because the Dallas centre was a central shopping destination for many Hume residents. She said the works had made the shopping strip safer and more accessible. “We hope these upgrades help Dallas shopping centre to boom with more visitors,” Cr Patsikatheodorou said. “Places like Dallas shopping centre encourage community spirit and now, with these upgrades, we hope it can foster community pride.”
Lalor Primary School pupils will pound the pavements throughout October to promote healthy living. The school is one of 33 in Whittlesea and Hume to have signed up to VicHealth’s walk to school month. The statewide event aims to encourage children to get active by walking, cycling or scooting to and from school on each of the 31 days. Last year, more than 8000 primary school children in Whittlesea and Hume took part in walk to school month, walking as a collective more than 88,000 kilometres. Whittlesea mayor Stevan Kozmevski said the council had secured a VicHealth grant to support local schools in helping students get active, with prizes available for schools that get their students moving. “Walking to school helps children get the physical activity they need each day to be healthy – and it helps ease traffic congestion around schools,” he said.

MY PLACE Rob Saitta has been part of the Epping community and the local CFA for more than 20 years. He talks with Laura Michell. How long have you lived in the area? I have lived in Epping with my wife and kids for the last 21 years. What do you love about your community? It has all you need at your door step. What, if anything, would you change about your community? The main thing I would change is to upgrade the area’s road network, as we have a lot of growth going on around here, but the road network hasn’t been changed all that much. How long have you been with Epping CFA, and how long have you been captain? I joined Epping CFA back in 1994 and have been captain for four years. I have just been elected back in for the next two years. Why did you join the CFA?
What do you like about being involved with the CFA?
the years. It is a really great place to be. Being in the CFA is a little more time-consuming now than when I first started, as I am now in a leadership role. Do you have a message for residents as we
head into summer and the fire season?
to two streets back from the fire’s edge until the fire has passed, and then it will be safe to return My message for the community leading into the to your home. Also, remember not to choke up the streets as fire season is don’t be complacent. Don’t leave it too late to act if you are on the emergency services will need to make their way urban fringe and there is a grass fire. Move one to the emergency.

Being involved in the CFA gives me a sense of achievement, as well as all the extra skills that I have learnt in my time being in a fire brigade. I have formed close bonds and friendships over
(Joe Mastroianni)
Ever since I was a kid, I always loved fire trucks. My next door neighbour was in the fire brigade, so when I could, I would always want to put on his helmet.

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.
Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO
A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.� No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,� Dr Stubbs says.

SPORT Bulls ruckman finds consistency, with medal to prove it
Matthew Dennis won his second Frank Rosbrook Medal. (Shawn Smits)
Bundoora’s Matthew Dennis was the runaway winner of the Northern Football League’s Frank Rosbrook Medal on Wednesday night. The Bulls ruckman, a previous winner of the league’s top honour, polled votes in 15 of his side’s 18 matches to finish on 32. He was named best on ground by the umpires on seven occasions. Dennis finished 10 votes clear of Northcote Park’s Bronik Davies, with whom he shared the award in 2012. Dennis said consistency was the key to his game. “It’s pretty amazing,” he said. “I wasn’t actually expecting the medal. I was really happy with my season and it’s been one of the best I’ve had since returning to the club. “Consistency is one of the keys to my game; I know what I’m getting out of myself.” The ruckman was among the top contenders
early on in the count and by the final two rounds he couldn’t be beaten. “It was a bit nerve-wracking early,” he said. “When I couldn’t be beaten I relaxed a bit. Last time I got votes in the final round to tie the medal. Bronik and I are good mates. I thought he was going to catch me in the final rounds.” Dennis, who played one-out in the ruck in previous years, said he thrived on having a second ruckman in the side. It also gave him the chance to spend more time in the forward line. He finished second in the Bulls’ goalkicking behind Gary Moorcroft. Both Dennis and Moorcroft were named in the division 1 team of the year. “At age 30, I thought I’d have started to slow down,” Dennis said. “It does takes a toll on your body and having another ruckman has helped out, so I’ve been able to handle my
body better and it’s made me a better player. I’ve never really had the opportunity [to play forward]. Now switching between the ruck and forward line adds another dimension.” Dennis says he hopes there’s a few more years of football left in him. “I’d like to play as long as I can. Having another ruckman in the side has been good and hopefully we can play together for the next few years.” Whittlesea’s Justin Sherman was also named in the division 1 team of the year. Hurstbridge’s Tyron Loader won the division 2 best and fairest award, while Watsonia’s Matthew Crompton took out the division 3 B&F gong. Lalor’s Jarrod King, Todd Hughes and Shane Jacobs, along with James Rizzolio, were named in the division 2 team of the year. Tara Murray
Broncos muster for 2017 By Tara Murray ORENA Hume City Broncos didn’t have to look too far in their hunt for a Big V men’s State Championship coach for next season. The Broncos knew early in the piece they would need new hands at the helm, with Lanard Copeland joining National Basketball League’s Sydney Kings as an assistant coach. When Copeland left his role with the Broncos early, Kelvin Bowers stepped in for the last five weeks of the season. The team won three of those fives matches, just missing out on finals; that’s after playing the last half of the season without three of their starters. The club was impressed with Bowers and the job he has done, and have now appointed him for next year. Bowers said he didn’t imagine stepping into the head coach role when he joined the club. The American has an impressive record, including coaching Big V side’s Melbourne Boomers and Sunbury Jets, and spending time with NBA club LA Clippers. “When I came to Hume City Broncos everyone asked what I was doing, as it’s an assistant role,” he said. “I rang Lanard, and I said I think we are two good minds who will work well together. “I personally thought that Lanard would be here for a couple more years and I would be his assistant.” Club vice-president Glen Milne said the decision to appoint Bowers was an easy one. “KB’s efforts regrouped the players after some serious injuries throughout 2016 to three of our starters. He has immersed himself in the Bronco culture, and we look forward to seeing what he can achieve on court in 2017.” Bowers is already busy looking ahead to next year and putting together a squad they hope will challenge the league. It will be a slightly changed line-up, with Jamal Brown suffering a career-ending injury and Jermaine Maybank unlikely to play, also due to injury. Bowers said Lee Jeka, Luke Egan, Nick Jones, Nicholas Valenta, Shaun Prasad and Shaun Prendergast would be back next season. “I’m speaking to some high profile Big V players to try and bring them into the club. “I’m just looking to enhance on what we are doing. Hopefully, the pieces we put together could form a very formidable team.” The Broncos’ women’s side is still looking for a head coach after Katrina Hibbert stepped down to focus on her new role with the Melbourne Boomers. Women’s assistant coach Sally Braybon has joined the Whittlesea Pacers as their new youth league women’s coach. 20 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 20, 2016

Eagles hunt fresh talent A new coach will lead Craigieburn in its return to Essendon District Football League premier division next season. After three years at the helm, Peter Bugden and the club parted ways just days after the club’s division 1 premiership success against Tullamarine. Eagles’ club president Brian Hall said he had nothing but respect for Bugden and what he has done at the club in his time there. The Eagles narrowly avoided relegation to division 2 in Bugden’s first year as coach, before a grand final appearance last year and a premiership this year. “We have agreed that it was the right time for us to part ways,” Hall said. “It was his call, and we supported that. He has done a tremendous job over the last three years.” The club has advertised the coaching role, with Hall saying they are already speaking to several candidates. Eagles’ assistant coaches Robert Fletcher and Troy Fiddler have crossed to division 2 Jacana. “We’re after somebody to take us to the next level of professionalism, and, hopefully, bring a few players to the club,” Hall said. He said they’d started talking to players about next season, and discussions had been positive. A few players are also likely to retire. The Eagles have also advertised for coaches for their reserves and under-18.5 sides. Lee Jeka is one of several players to re-sign with Hume City Broncos. (Shawn Smits)

Late charge wins medal By Tara Murray Having played only 10 games this season for the Northern Knights, Lachlan Murphy didn’t think he was a chance to win the club’s best and fairest award. Murphy reckoned captain Mason Blakey would be the favourite for the award, these days named after Knights legend Brent Harvey. Like Murphy, other contenders such as Luke Bunker (seven games) and Patrick Lipinski (12 games) missed games through injury, school football and Vic Metro commitments. There was a two-month period in which Murphy didn’t play for the Knights. But when Murphy, 17, did play in between school commitments with Ivanhoe Grammar, he stood out. In the final round, Murphy hit the front in the award voting. “After round 12, when I came back to the team, I had six games where I started to poll a bit,” Murphy said. Murphy, who started playing football with Diamond Creek, finished on 84 votes, six votes ahead of Bunker. Blakey, who led with three rounds to go, finished third. He missed the second-last round through playing with the Northern Blues in the VFL.

The award tops off four years at the Knights for Murphy, in which time he has given up cricket and basketball to focus on football. “It hasn’t been the most successful team, but I’ve met some great people and made some friends,” he said. “The coaches have given me so much to help my development.
“I used to play a lot of cricket and played with the Northern Falcons [representative side] and then I gave it up. “I played a lot of basketball, too. I’ve given them both up to throw all my eggs in the one basket and give it a crack.” In his school football, Ivanhoe Grammar was knocked out in the semi-finals. “It wasn’t a bad season, it was just a disappointing end to the year.” Murphy’s form hasn’t been rewarded only with the Knights’ best and fairest award – he has also been invited to the AFL state combine. He is training with other Knights players who have been invited to both the state and national combines. “I’m not very strong aerobically,” he said. “My sprint is strong and I hope I will test well. “I don’t know what to expect and want to have fun and enjoy the moment. If my name gets read out, then that’s awesome. If it doesn’t, it’s not the end of the world.” Other winners at the Knights awards night were Jamison Shea (core values award), Chas Roberts (most improved), Ethan Penrith (Chris Johnson defensive player), Corey McKay (leading goalkicker), Nicholas Coffield (Michael Mascoulis rising star award) and Patrick Lipinski (Adam Simpson coaches award).
Epping City keeper in late heroics Epping City is one win away from clinching the FFV state league 4 title. Having already taken out the state league 4 north title, Epping City beat west 4 champions Brimbank Stallions for a spot in the overall division championship on Saturday. Farouk Tijani scored twice for Epping City, which had to survive a late scare to seal the win. With City leading 2-1 in the dying minutes, the Stallions were awarded a last minute penalty. Ibrahim Abou-Haidar became the hero, saving the penalty and assuring his side of the win. Epping City will play Brandon Park in the grand final. If Epping wins that match, it will have gone through the season undefeated. State league 4 north Brandon Park won through to the final in thrilling fashion against state league 4 east premier Skye United. Scores were 2-2 at the end of regular time, before Brandon Park scored the winner in extra time. In state league 5, north champion RMIT FC will play Rosebud Heart in the grand final. RMIT FC won through to the final by defeating North Melbourne Athletic 2-1. In state league grand finals, Altona Magic defeated Mornington in state league 1, St Kilda was crowned state league 2 champions after beating Geelong 3-1 and Mazenod United is state league 3 champion after Geelong Rangers forfeited. Hume City captain Nick Hegarty has become just the seventh player to win Football Federation Victoria’s Gold Medal twice. At the FFV’s night of nights, Hegarty was named the National Premier League’s top player, winning the award on 38 votes. He finished seven votes clear of Avondale FC’s Massimo Murdocca, who finished on 31 votes. Hegarty’s medal victory follows his 2012 win when the competition was known as the Victorian Premier League. Hegarty’s Hume City teammate, Chris Oldfield, was named goalkeeper of the year. Tara Murray

Rio inspires next gen Whittlesea City Athletics Centre is preparing for one of its biggest years, on and off the track. The centre, which recorded some of its best-ever results last season at local and state level, are hoping the Olympics and Paralympics will inspire the next generations of athletes to join. Olympians Brooke Stratton and Eleanor Patterson visited the centre last year to talk to and give hints to the athletes. While the athletes will be looking forward to summer track and field events, a long-awaited major upgrade to the Meadowglen International Athletics Stadium is about to begin. Works, which include resurfacing the track, will start in October. And they are not expected to be completed until late February next year. The centre management is hoping the stadium will be ready for the club to host championships in March. Athletes will train at Meadowglen until the end of this month. After this, each club will organise its own training location pending the upgrades. Weekly competitions will be held at Greensborough’s Willinda Park track on Sunday afternoons while the stadium is out of action. Registrations for this season are open now, and can be completed online. Details: whittleseacity@lavic.com.au .

Heidelberg has broken its grand final hoodoo to return to the top of the Northern Football League. Having lost four grand finals since winning the division 1 premiership in 2009, the Tigers were made to work hard against Macleod for their 19th division 1 flag. The Tigers were slow out of the blocks and trailed by 26 points late in the opening quarter. After the quarter-time break, it was all the Tigers as they kicked 10 goals to four to deny Macleod back-to-back flags. The Tigers won, 12.13 (85)-9.15 (69). Seventeen-year-old Luke Wilson was named best on ground. The Tigers also won the reserves, while Greensborough won its third straight under-19 premiership.

ROD’S VERDICT A good thing, but I’d have the Evoque.
kay, I really like BMWs and I admit that, but with the X4 it’s true love. The moment I climbed in and the seat formed perfectly around me I was smitten. And it drives beautifully with usable power always on tap to make it delightfully flexible and a gearbox that you don’t even notice. Mostly it’s the feeling of body strength and integrity that’s so reassuring. This is a relaxing car in the country and, even if the ride gets a little firm across second-class surfaces and B roads, the distance tends to fall away. In town the X4 is the right size, nicely compact but with surprisingly good interior space that’s usable and practical. At one stage we had three across the back seat and it remained manageable and easy to get to the belts. The cargo room is excellent and it’s easy to park. The interior is beautifully finished and the surfaces are warm and tactile. The audio is pretty good. The electronics remain a mystery; pay attention when they are explained.

mall SUVs with rakishly cavalier rear rooflines have a problem – the view from the centre mirror is like looking out of a letter box. I didn’t think anything could be narrower than the Range Rover Evoque’s rear view but this X4 takes the cake. Make sure to set your side mirrors up properly because the blind spots are more blind than most. BMW is challenging the Evoque with the X4, and the Evoque HSE is a very good thing indeed and $13,000 cheaper. So is the BMW better? Well the diesel motor is a beauty and the cabin and fittings are typically BMW – luxurious certainly, but ordered and businesslike. The electronic menus are also typically BMW; designed by engineers. If you don’t think like an engineer then you must learn to do so. The handling is brilliant, the cost being ride quality that gets quite sharp. If your heart’s set on a BMW this is a really good one, but look at the top Evoque before signing the papers.
A nice place to be. I’ll take this over an Evoque any day.
