Play centre to close By Esther Lauaki Craigieburn’s 123 Play Centre will be forced to close at the end of next week despite hundreds of parents and regular visitors campaigning to keep it open. Business owners Anthony and Belinda Galizia opened the play centre, the only one of its kind in the area, four years ago in the Craigieburn Central shopping precinct. About a year ago the Galizia’s began negotiations with landlords, Lendlease, in anticipation of an 80 per cent rent rise on the premises – but a resolution could not be reached. Mr Galizia told Star Weekly the rent rise would send them bankrupt within a month. “There was almost no negotiation over the lease,” he said. “Lendlease came to us with the rent increase and that was it … there was no negotiation. “My counter offer was to pay $30,000 a year more than we are currently paying, but Lendlease would not budge one cent. “We have no other choice but to close.” Facebook posts about the closure have attracted more than 500 messages of support and prompted dozens of emails to Lendlease. In an email seen by Star Weekly, a Craigieburn Central spokesperson said Lendlease was “continuing discussions with 123 Play Centre”. “We value the relationships we have with our retail tenants and we want them to succeed,” the email stated. “We know that the retail environment is challenging at the moment and we’re working closely with our tenants on how we can support them.” Long-time customer Katrina Mitropoulos said 123 Play Centre was more than just a business to the community. “I’ve had my kids birthday parties here, there are grandparents that look after their grandchildren during the school holidays that come here,” Ms Mitropoulos said. “Mother’s groups and even groups outside of Craigieburn as far as Kilmore, Mernda and Wallan come here.” Mr Galizia said the support from the community has been overwhelming. “We’ve always been in children’s entertainment in Craigieburn and we started this centre because we felt there was a need for one in this community,” he said. “For an area with so many young families, you need a play centre. “We’ve invested four years of our lives in a business that we love to then walk out worse off than when we started.” The 123 Play Centre’s last trading day is November 17.
Remember our veterans Thousands will gather across the northern suburbs for Remembrance Day this weekend. November 11 marks 101 years since the Armistice that ended World War I and John Lynch, Betty Maher and Maureen Reed will be among those observing a minute’s silence at the Craigieburn War Memorial at 11am, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. Mr Lynch served in the Malayan Emergency and Indonesian Confrontation with the Royal Australian Navy. Mrs Mayer and Mrs Reed both lost family members aboard the wrecked HMAS Sydney II on November 19, 1941. More than half a million poppies are expected to be sold in the annual Poppy Appeal with volunteers from Craigieburn and Epping Returned and Services League members among those out in force across the state. Epping RSL appeals officer Mary Bell said all money from Poppy sales will go to current and former servicemen and women in need. “Our poppy ladies have already displayed a wall hanging saying Lest We Forget made out of handmade poppies outside the [RSL] building,” Ms Bell said. A group comprising members of Epping RSL, Market Fresh Epping and Heart Kids will also be exhibiting photos of their recent trek along the Kokoda trail. A Remembrance Day ceremony will be at Epping RSL starting with a prelude at 10.15am. Poppies are available from the RSL, Woolworths or Officeworks stores across Victoria or volunteers throughout November. Esther Lauaki Betty Maher, John Lynch OAM and Maureen Reed. (Damjan Janevski)

High ranking for affordability By Esther Lauaki Kalkallo, Dallas and Lalor have been listed among Melbourne’s most affordable and liveable suburbs, new figures show. A recent housing report, released by People’s Choice of Housing, revealed that the northern suburbs dominated the top 50 suburbs in the state. Kalkallo ranked in the top six suburbs. People’s Choice chief executive Steve Laidlaw said the report provided a unique perspective
on Melbourne’s complex housing market for first-home buyers. “Liveability can mean very different things depending on who you are talking to, so we look at a broad range of factors buyers might consider besides the cost of buying a home,” Mr Laidlaw said. “They are the things that really matter when you’re living there – things like safety, local schools, public transport links, economic prospects and how close you are to areas of employment.”
‘‘
Liveability can mean very different things
’’
- Steve Laidlaw The top four suburbs, Watsonia North, Yallambie, Gowanbrae and Wattle Glen, had a median house price of $700,000 – at the higher end of affordability. Mr Laidlaw said the report also highlighted suburbs offering high liveability without the
high price tag. “Dallas ranks 13th overall and its median price of $450,000 is considerably more affordable than the top four,” he said. “It is relatively close to the city, has two schools and reasonable public transport coverage including ready access to Upfield station. “Although it may be outshadowed by other liveable suburbs, its affordability may open the door for many people.” Details: peopleschoicecu.com.au/ housing-report
Tourism awards bid for our Living Legends

Celebrating a Lalor stalwart Milk was being delivered by horse and cart when Rino Minniti established his barbershop in Lalor. This week, Mr Minniti marked 50 years as a stalwart of the community. He and his wife Josie opened a barbershop in Station Road in 1969. Years later, the couple purchased some land at May Road and set up Rino’s Unisex Salon. “It’s an honour to have been here in Lalor all this time … I don’t know where the years have gone,” Mr Minniti told Star Weekly. “We started the business because you’ve got
to make a living somehow. To buy a block of land, we had to go into the money box of my kids because we had no money.” He said he’s seen the community grow over the decades. “There’s been a lot of big changes. The place was all paddocks and milk was delivered with the horses and carts from down the road.” To this day, the 73-year-old works six days a week. “I’ve still got customers from my first day of trading,” Mr Minniti said. “I enjoy working with people and I enjoy it here … It’s home to
me.” His daughter Julie Micucci said her dad was a “fundamental part” of the Lalor community. “Dad is one of these guys that has constantly worked and he’s well-loved by the local schools nearby and has made a lot of memories here,” Ms Micucci said. “He’s seen the evolution of Lalor. He’s seen generations of families come through the doors from babies to school children to their grandparents and he is very proud of this fact.”
Hume residents are being encouraged to get behind Living Legends in the upcoming state tourism awards. The Greenvale attraction is up for the people’s choice category at the Victorian Tourism Awards at the end of this month. Hume mayor Carly Moore said it was great that Living Legends is vying for state and potentially national recognition. “Living Legends is one of Victoria’s most unique attractions, offering visitors the opportunity to meet retired champion racehorses as well as exploring the Woodlands Historic Homestead and impressive grounds,” Cr Moore said. “Greenvale’s Woodlands Historic Homestead is one of the oldest built structures in Hume, with construction dating back to 1842, and houses an extensive collection of local history and racing memorabilia, including a new Phar Lap exhibition. “Living Legends is a fantastic place for international visitors to observe wild kangaroos in their natural bush habitat and dine at the popular Black Caviar Cafe and Dining Room which is well renowned for its traditional Devonshire Tea.” The Victorian Tourism Awards showcase the state’s leaders in tourism excellence. All winners qualify for the annual Qantas Australian Tourism Awards. The 2019 winners will be presented at a ceremony on November 28 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Young artists will share their life experiences in the latest exhibition in Broadmeadows. Foyer the Place is on at Gallery HGLC and showcases works created by students living in the Broadmeadows, Glen Waverley and Shepparton Education First Youth Foyers. Hume mayor Carly Moore encouraged the community to experience the exhibition which is on until December. “Education First Youth Foyers is a vital service that helps young people break the cycle of homelessness by supporting them to lead independent and fulfilling lives,” Cr Moore said. “The Foyer art exhibition is just one of many education and development pathways offered to the young people living at the Education First Youth Foyer.
“The exhibition presents themes that are highly personal, varying from the decorative to the symbolic, the humorous to the profound. “Each work offers visitors a view and insight into the experiences of young people in our community, from many cultures and diverse backgrounds, who are developing independence and expressing their experiences creatively.” Cr Moore said the exhibition includes art work that was made collaboratively in Foyer art workshops along with pieces that were produced independently or as part of the students’ course work.

Returning mayor has more to do By Esther Lauaki Hume councillor Carly Moore declared “my work is not yet done” as she accepted the mayoralty for a second term. The Aitken ward councillor was voted in at last week’s statutory meeting and will be joined by councillors Karen Sherry and Jack Medcraft, who will share the role of deputy mayor – a first for Hume. Cr Moore, who is following in the footsteps of her sister – former councillor Casey Nunn – said the year ahead promised to be full of challenges and great opportunities. The lifelong Hume resident said she was
committed to working tirelessly to deliver an effective and high performing council. “It is with great pride that I am the mayor of Hume again and I thank my fellow councillors for their trust and support in electing me,” Cr Moore said. “It has been a busy year as mayor but there is so much more to do; in short, my work is not yet done.” Cr Moore said improving the appearance and amenity of the municipality was a priority. “The Hume Clean Taskforce – which I introduced earlier this year – will help ensure we have community and council-led solutions to cleaning up and beautifying our city,” she said. “I also know that Hume residents
need and deserve easy access to services and infrastructure that can only be achieved when all parts of the municipality receive their fair share of funding.” She said she would work to ensure “prudent fiscal management” was at the forefront of all decisions made by the council. Cr Moore said that having two deputy mayors to represent all three wards would better engage with and represent residents. Jacksons Creek ward councillor Anne Potter announced at the meeting that she would not contest the 2020 Local Government Election after 18 years in council. She served as mayor in 2002-03.

Tick for tennis program Aitken Creek Primary School is nurturing a love of tennis. The school was nominated, for the second year, in the Most Outstanding School category at the recent Tennis Victoria Awards. More than 60 Aitken Creek Primary School pupils between the ages of five and 12 take tennis lessons each week as part of their curriculum. Sports co-ordinator Joe Muscari said he was proud that the school’s tennis program was counted among the best in the state. “Looking back to five years ago … our school didn’t have any program put into place but now, being recognised statewide, is a huge thing for tennis and sport in Craigieburn,” Mr Muscari said. He said a partnership with the neighbouring Hume Tennis and Community Centre was key
in making tennis a pillar of the curriculum. “It’s a great opportunity for all students to participate in tennis at this great, world-class facility,” Mr Muscari said. “The students look forward each week to walking to the centre during their PE lessons. “The tennis isn’t just limited during school hours, access to the centre continues outside of school with many of our students enrolling in weekly lessons and then transitioning into Saturday competition and beyond.” Esther Lauaki

Scholarship honours student By Esther Lauaki A scholarship for students experiencing financial hardship has been established in honour of an international student killed in Bundoora on her way home. Aiia Maasarwe, a 21-year-old Palestinian woman with Israeli citizenship, was murdered in Bundoora in January after stepping off a tram from a night out. The state government and La Trobe University, where she studied, announced last week that the Aiia Maasarwe Memorial Scholarship would be open to local or international students. It would cover course fees, provide an
annual stipend and will be open to students undertaking an undergraduate degree or PhD students undertaking research to address the safety of women and girls. La Trobe University vice chancellor John Dewar said it was an honour to deliver the initiative in partnership with the state government. “The life-changing power of education was very important to Aiia and to her family,” Professor Dewar said. “This scholarship will create new opportunities and leave long-lasting benefits for generations of young people. “The La Trobe community will always remember Aiia as an intelligent, warm and generous student.”
The annual scholarship will be funded through a $700,000 one-off contribution from the government and La Trobe University covering course fees, equivalent of up to $660,000. Members of the Maasarwe family met with representatives from La Trobe University and Premier Daniel Andrews to finalise arrangements for the scholarship. Mr Andrews said the scholarship was consistent with the wishes of Aiia’s family. “Victorians were united in sadness at Aiia’s death,” he said. “This scholarship is a small way that we can remember Aiia, the promise she had and the inspiration she has provided to improve our world.”
A new scholrship has been announced in memory of Aiia Maasarwe. (Channel 9)
EPA probes creek waste spill The Coolaroo glass recycling company that was the site of two fires is in hot water again after a black substance from the site leached into Merlynston Creek last week. Glass Recovery Services was one of three Hume companies ordered to stop accepting waste earlier this year as part of an Environment Protection Authority crackdown on dangerous stockpiles of waste. EPA officers found that leachate which flowed into the creek at Jack Roper Reserve on October 21 originated from the Maffra St site. Signs were put up advising the community to stay away from the waterways due to health concerns caused by the spill. An EPA spokesman said compliance and enforcement action would be taken within weeks. “An investigation into the spill will determine what compliance and enforcement action EPA will take in relation to the pollution of the local waterway,” a statement said. Chief executive Cathy Wilkinson said the authority would continue to use all regulatory tools at its disposal, and that the community rightly expects those responsible for causing an environmental hazard to be responsible for cleaning it up. “If EPA has to step in to clean up, it becomes a cost to the community when it should be a cost to the duty holder,” Dr Wilkinson said. “The EPA will use all its regulatory powers and continue to work closely with other agencies to reduce any risk to community safety and the environment.” Esther Lauaki
Funding boost for gambling harm
12431474-NG46-19
6 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 5 November, 2019
Whittlesea’s youth is expected to benefit from a $170,000 state grant that to help prevent gambling harm in Whittlesea. The council made a successful application for funding as part of the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation’s Prevention Partnerships Program 2019-21 Funding Round. The money will support the Whittlesea Youth Gambling Harm Awareness Initiative – a project aimed at developing and implementing strategies to prevent gambling harm among young people from diverse backgrounds. South east ward councillor Sam Alessi welcomed the support for the two-year project. “The project will go a long way in raising awareness of the harmful effects of gambling, especially our youth in which research shows that in a 12 month period around two-thirds of teenagers have gambled and up to a quarter of young people have participated in sports betting,” Cr Alessi said. Mill Park MP Lily D’Ambrosio commended council for tackling gambling harm through “innovative projects”. “Gambling harm is often hidden because people feel uncomfortable talking about it,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.

A brand-new luxury development is underway in Melbourne’s north, catering to working, semi- or fully retired over 50s who are young at heart and want to downsize to a bigger life. Lifestyle Wollert will offer beautiful outdoor spaces and 5-star resort-style facilities, with enough wow-factor to make the kids a little jealous. All contemporary, low maintenance homes feature landscaped gardens and quality fittings so you can downsize without compromise. The secure, gated community offers peace of mind, while
homeowners relax and socialise in the multi-million-dollar Clubhouse which includes a heated pool and spa, cinema, gym, bowling green, alfresco BBQ dining area and even a pickleball court. An important milestone was reached onsite last week. According to Project Manager, Harry Mohan, “we were excited to break ground, as this signifies the construction phase of the project. The plans are really taking shape! Civil contractors Rokon have made great progress with Stage 1 site
stripping and sewer works in progress.” Over the coming month underground services will be installed with roads to follow. A life of luxury may be more affordable than you think. With no stamp duty, conveyancing, or ongoing council rates, it could be the perfect time to choose from a range of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom homes, selling now for homeowners to move into from August 2020.

Kangaroos the big losers
SPORT
By Tara Murray
Falcons look to go one up
The Greenvale Kangaroos were the big losers in Victorian Premier Cricket on Saturday, as former state player Fawad Ahmed put on a show. Most matches didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get underway on Saturday, with rain playing havoc for a second straight week. In the only match to get a result, the Kangaroos suffered a big loss to Melbourne University. The two teams didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take to the park at Greenvale Recreation Reserve until late on Saturday, put it was enough time to get a result. Melbourne University declared at its day one score of 2-191. The Kangaroos suffered a blow before play even started â&#x20AC;&#x201C; playing coach Kaushal Silva is overseas, leaving them with just 10 batsmen. The hits kept coming, the Kangaroos losing their first wicket when the score was just three. The Kangaroos had one partnership of 10 or more as they were bowled out for 50. Zaheer Hussain top scored with 11. He was the only player to score double figures. Ahmed put on a show for Melbourne University, as he turned back the clock. He took 6-9 off 9.3 overs which included five maidens to bowl his side to the win. The winless Kangaroos remain bottom of the ladder. This weekend they travel to Northcote for a two-dayer. The Kangaroos are also in action on Wednesday night in the third round of the Vic Super Slam when they host the Melbourne Demons.
Craigieburn Falcons are hoping to take the lead in the Diwali Cup against the Victoria Police Hockey team. Playing each other for the third time this year, the two sides are locked at one win apiece. The match will be the centerpiece of an expanded Diwali Cup, which will this year run over two days in Craigieburn. Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sikander Sharma, who is a Victoria Police member, said the event was about building the relationship between the club, community and police, while also celebrating Diwali. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vic Police are always keen to support the community and when we set up the club, we set up this day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team of police members and local members attend the day, and we come together as a community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also people from family violence area and people from recruitment to try and get people involved in Vic Police.â&#x20AC;? The event has expanded to two days this year, on the weekend of November 16, and will involve six senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams, two womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams and six junior teams coming from across Melbourne to compete. As well as the hockey matches, there will be cultural performances and free food on the Saturday. The main match, between the Falcons and Vic Police, will be held at 11.30am on Sunday, November 17.

SPORT McIntyre steps up to senior role at Jacana
New Jacana coach Glenn McIntyre. (Jacana Facebook)
New Jacana senior coach Glenn McIntyre said there was a positive vibe as the club looked to return to the field in Essendon District Football League division 2. After pulling out their senior and reserves teams midway through this year, the Jaguars are on track to have both sides next season. The club announced last week that McIntyre, who played much of his football at the club, would be senior coach. McIntyre had originally been appointed the club’s under-18.5 coach but that changed when there was a lack of numbers for that team. “Jacana is my home club and I’ve been here most of my life. To coach the club I grew up playing for, is really special,” McIntyre said. “Given the circumstances, it’s a good time to lead the club and do it the right way.” It will be McIntyre’s first senior coaching role.
He played football for 15 years at Jacana, and in country Victoria and New South Wales. He was also a playing assistant coach while playing in Canada for a couple of years. McIntyre said the club had about 30 players committed for next season, many of them are former players who have returned to ensure the club has a side. The club is also aiming to add some youth into the senior side and have enough numbers to field a reserves side. “We’re pretty positive player-wise,” McIntyre said. “There’s quite a few returning to the club and we’ve got a few players from neighbouring clubs who want to play senior football. “We’re fortunate that there’s a lot of clubs near us with kids that aren’t getting regular senior games.” McIntyre said off field, things were starting
Petrevski hopes to inspire
14 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 5 November, 2019
Tara Murray
Sports shorts Cricket It was almost a washout across the board in local cricket competitions across Melbourne’s north on Saturday, with wet weather causing headaches. The Victorian Turf, Victorian Sub-District, North Metro and Diamond Valley cricket associations all made the decision to cancel matches on Saturday morning due to heavy rain. No games went ahead in the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association either. It’s a third straight week that matches have been affected by rain.
By Tara Murray Krstel Petrevski wants to be a role model for girls back home in the Kimberley in Western Australia. Petrevski, who grew up in Halls Creek before moving to Melbourne nearly four years ago for school, realised her football dream last month. The 18-year-old was selected by Melbourne at pick 78 in the AFLW draft. Watching the draft on television, Petrevski said she couldn’t believe it had happened. “It’s honestly unreal,” she said. “I haven’t wiped the smile off my face. When it was called out I couldn’t believe it and I was speechless. “I was hoping everyone was watching back home as they are my biggest supporters. “I was on FaceTime all draft day. I’m so blessed and loved.” Petrevski spoke to Melbourne the day before the draft, but said she had no indication that they were going to pick her up. She was nervous heading into the draft, with injuries ruining her season with the Cannons. She played eight games. “I started very well and played the first three games, unfortunately I had a few injuries,” she said. “I hyper-extended my knee and missed a few games. With a short season, I didn’t think I had played enough games. “I had hoped that AFLW clubs had seen what I could do.” Petrevski then got the opportunity to play three games with Essendon in the VFLW. Happy with her performance, she said it was a really good experience and another shot at showing recruiters what she could do. “The transition from Calder to Essendon was really good,” she said. “Essedon’s is united and works hard. They are driven to play at higher levels and made me feel super welcome. “They were pushing me and helping me strive to get better.” AFLW is a long way from Halls Creek in the Kimberly in Western Australia, where Petrevski grew up. She made the move to Melbourne for her education. In the back of her mind, it was also the home of football. “I grew up playing with the boys,” she said. “I didn’t play a girls game of football until I came to Melbourne. I always dreamed of playing football. “I couldn’t believe that so many girls played football, it was an eye-opener.“ Petrevski said it was exciting to see football grow in her home town. With girls competitions starting off she knows many will look up to her. “I’m the first girl drafted from the Kimberley and Halls Creek,” she said. “I’m honoured and
to look up as well. They have managed to clear their debt and a lot of people have returned. He said the plight the club found itself in earlier this year, was a wake-up call to many. “We want to make sure we do right, so we don’t find ourselves in the same position,” he said. “Older people have come in and are trying to help out as much as we can. “We want to work hard and get the club moving forward. “We want to consolidate and not do too much too soon. We want to have a gradual build-up.” Pre-season training starts on November 14. Anyone interested in playing can contact the club, jacanafootballclub@hotmail.com
AFLW Three former Hume City Broncos players have made the transition from basketball to football complete, having been picked up in the AFLW draft. Sarah and Gemma Wright, and Mua Laloifi were all part of championship teams at the Broncos before changing sports. Sarah was taken at pick 32 by North Melbourne, with Gemma taken two picks later, at 34, by Geelong. Laloifi was taken by Carlton at pick 52. For more on all three players, go to www.starweekly.com.au/sports
Bowls Rain washed out most matches in Bowls Victoria Pennant. A few matches held at undercover greens went ahead, but they were few and far between. In premier division Bundoora RSL’s game with Mentone was called off. In division 1, section 1, Whittlesea, Lalor and Bundoora RSL 2 didn’t get any play. In division 1, section 2, Whittlesea 2 lost to Sunbury 78 (14)-68 (4).

it’s close to my heart. There’s a pathway for them coming through. I want to be a role model for the younger generation.” Petrevski has plenty of family members to look to for advice, with seven players on AFL lists this year. “I’m really close to every single one of them,” she said. “They’ve really guided me and helped me on the journey. They have reached the high level and pushed me. “They give me inside tips and keep me
wanting to strive. “Toby Bedford is at the club [Melbourne] with me and Sam [Petrevski-Seton] is at Carlton. I spend a lot of time with them.” Petrevski isn’t sure when she starts at the Demons, but is keen to get involved as soon as possible. “When I got drafted I went down the club and met a few of the girls,” she said. “I can’t wait to learn off them and develop as a player and person, so keen.”
Plenty Valley suffered two losses to Essendon Maribyrnong Park in the women’s Victorian Premier Cricket T20 competition on Sunday. In game one, the EMP made 4-164 from its overs, with Grace Jones taking three wickets. The Bats made 8-100 in reply. In game two, the match was shortened to 12 overs a side due to rain. The Bats made 2-73, with EMP making 4-81.
