Double fun, triple treat Teachers at Point Cook’s Lumen Christi Primary School will be seeing multiples when school starts on February 2, with two sets of twins and a set of triplets enrolled in prep. Twins Lily and Grace, and Emma and Lauren will be racing through the school gates alongside Xavier, Taj and Alexis on February 2. The five-year-olds all know each other from their time at Wyndham Twins Plus – a group supporting parents of multiples. Lily and Grace’s mum, Nicole Morgan, says all the children look forward to starting school. Laura Michell

Row over council land buy By Laura Michell Wyndham council is refusing to reveal how much it paid for the former Werribee Hyundai site in Cherry Street. The council bought the land at 37 Cherry Street, Werribee, in December last year but has refused to reveal the price tag for the 3200square-metre block. Sources have told Star Weekly the council was likely to have paid $4.8 million for the site.

It is also understood the council bought two adjoining lots for about $300,000 each. CBD Landowners Group member Lindsay Ingram said he was concerned that the council was keeping quiet on how much money it spent. “We have expressed concerns about the price they have paid for the land,” Mr Ingram said. “They haven’t got value for money. We think they’ve paid too much.” The council said it bought the land because it is strategically located between the current CBD area and the western edge of a future CBD expansion, and is also in a prime position to

Mr Ingram said the landowners group had concerns about people using the site for parking, fearing this would lead to increased congestion in Cherry Street. However, Werribee Chamber of Commerce president Tonia Tribe said she welcomed the council’s purchase, saying the site would provide temporary relief to parking problems in Werribee’s CBD. “Anything the council does to create new car parking is welcome. We need an immediate solution to an ongoing and important issue,” she said.

Weerama festival hits the skids By Cameron Tait Wyndham’s Weerama festival has been cancelled and its future thrown in doubt after almost 40 years on the community calendar. The festival’s organising committee last week held an extraordinary meeting, deciding against this year’s event, which had been scheduled for March 14 and 15. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, funding shortfalls and dwindling support have signed the death knell for the event, which was first held in 1978. In July last year, Wyndham council told organisers it had concerns about the event,

including its impact on Werribee CBD traders, as well as safety, risk management and governance issues. In a letter sent last October, council’s chief executive Kerry Thompson called on the committee to re-design the festival to “meet the needs of the community and local businesses”. Festival committee secretary Dani Acciarito said organisers had gone “above and beyond” to make changes requested by the council. “The council asked us to change the location and completely restructure the festival, which would have been impossible in just a few months,” Ms Acciarito said. “They also wanted us to downsize the event

to one day and cancel the street procession.” Wyndham mayor Peter Maynard said the restructure was requested after complaints about last year’s event by Werribee CBD businesses, but these did not extend to cancelling the procession. He said it was important that the festival was seen as a flagship event for the wider community. A follow-up survey by the council found 42 per cent of businesses felt the festival impacted “negatively or very negatively” on their trade. “An event like Weerama should have a positive impact on business,” Cr Maynard said. Ms Acciarito said the committee is confident Weerama still has a future.

Thieves target car-wash cash

Block-builders sign on to new ideas Age is no barrier when it comes to learning – just ask Tom Driscoll. Last year, the 84-year-old Werribee resident was one of 80 people to graduate from Wyndham council’s community leadership program, Wyndham’s Building Blocks, run in conjunction with Victoria University. Graduates are supported to plan and deliver community projects, which include a men’s wellbeing support group for retired or unemployed men, a peer mentoring and homework program to improve children’s literacy skills, and a program to connect new parents in the Tarneit area. Building Blocks graduates learn skills

including project planning, grant-writing, governance and event management. A retired firefighter, Mr Driscoll acted as a mentor for a Wyndham elders oral history project, designed to engage older residents through interviews and using publications to record oral histories of the municipality. Mr Driscoll said it was rewarding to be involved in a project to benefit the community. “It makes you feel good to be part of something like this, especially as so many people of all ages and different walks of life took part,” he said. New recruits can now sign on for this year’s program, which includes free 10-week courses

for people interested in developing Truganina and those wanting to help the community prepare, respond and recover from emergencies. Employment, education and training portfolio holder Cr Heather Marcus said Building Blocks developed leadership skills by mentoring and supporting participants to create new community projects. “For many people last year, it was their first experience of formalised learning since leaving high school,” Cr Marcus said.

Police are hunting brazen thieves who are stealing cash from self-serve car washes across the western suburbs, including in Wyndham. Sergeant Andrew Button, of the Melton crime investigation unit, warned locals to keep an eye out for the thieves, who are targeting car washes at Melton, Werribee and Caroline Springs, and as far afield as Gisborne. In Wyndham, two car washes at Hoppers Crossing and one at Point Cook were struck either late on January 5 or in the early hours of January 6. “We’ve noticed a series of break-ins at car washes where people are trying to steal loose change from coin tins,” Sergeant Button said. “We think the crimes are possibly related.” He declined to comment on the nature of investigations but said they had identified a number of leads, which police are chasing up. They believe about three men, all in their early 20s, are involved in the thefts. “They try to gain access to the [coin] machines and cause a lot of damage to the different machines and coin mechanisms in the process.” Sergeant Button said the spree started last month and the thieves had already broken into 10 car washes, sometimes striking the same premises twice. “They’re mostly opportunistic crimes, happening at night or in the early hours of the morning,” he said. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.\ Sumeyya Ilanbey and Cameron Tait

Rebate flip-flop raises more fear By Cameron Tait Doctors fear patients will put off or not seek medical treatment from GPs as confusion reigns after the federal government’s backflip on Medicare rebates.. Health Minister Sussan Ley said last week the government would not go ahead with its plan to slash rebates by $20 for GP consultations lasting less than 10 minutes, after an Australia-wide backlash from doctors and health professionals. Ms Ley said the government was still

committed to introducing a revised GP co-payment as part of which doctors would be encouraged to charge most adult patients $5 per consultation, but it has also promised to consult with doctors and the industry on options for Medicare reform. One western suburbs GP clinic manager told Star Weekly patients were already struggling with the proposed changes and he feared the situation would only get worse. “We’re worried some people will stop coming to the doctor if they [the government] introduce a GP co-payment,” she said.

‘‘

Patients are confused and are already ringing up - GP clinic manager

’’

“Patients are confused and are already ringing up asking if they have to pay for a consultation, a blood test or for other treatments. If a co-payment is introduced for GP consultations, more patients will go to emergency departments, which will only increase the strain on the health system,” she

said. “From our perspective, we’re a business and we need to plan, so any changes made will also affect the way we operate, particularly in terms of our overheads and staffing levels. “We agree it [the current Medicare system] isn’t sustainable in the long-term, but we don’t agree with the way the government is going about it.” Federal Lalor MP Joanne Ryan slammed the Abbott government’s health policy as a “complete shambles”. “Australians should get the health care they need, not just what they can afford,” she said.

The cooking class is one of more than 20 free events being held between February 7 and March 29 in a bid to inspire people to live more sustainable lives. The cooking with leftovers class is informed by a recent survey, which revealed that almost half of the average Wyndham waste bin is made up of leftover food. The class will be held at the Eco Living Centre, 28 Ridge Drive, Wyndham Vale, on March 19. Other sustainable living events include a family day at Cobbledicks Ford, an introduction to urban beekeeping, and a workshop on keeping backyard chickens.

A study in dedication Carolyn Dancevic has always been interested in learning more about illness and disease. The third-year PhD student at Deakin University is studying medical research, an interest that developed when she was a child after members of her family developed cancer. “I was always interested in how and why it happened,” Ms Dancevic said. “My mum had thyroid cancer and I wanted to know why she got it.” Once her thesis is complete, Ms Dancevic, 25, hopes to study in medicine so she can help people like her mum. To help her cover the cost of her ongoing studies, lecturers at Deakin University are supporting Ms Dancevic’s nomination for a Victorian young achiever of the year award. The Werribee resident is nominated in the career kick-start category and hopes the

$2000 prizemoney, should she win it, will help buy study materials. “The award will definitely help with my future,” she said. “I don’t know if I have any chance of winning it, but I thought I’d just go for it and see if it works out.” During her time at Deakin, Ms Dancevic has travelled to Cleveland to speak at an American Society for Matrix Biology conference in front of distinguished scientists and has had two articles published. She said having her research published was one of her best achievements. The award winners will be announced on May 1.

Jabs urged for coughing scourge By Laura Michell Pregnant women and parents of newborn babies will be given a free whooping cough vaccination amid a recent surge in the number of cases of the disease. In Wyndham, the number of people infected with whooping cough rose 32 per cent, from 79 in 2013 to 105 in 2014. Across the state, the number of cases jumped 58 per cent, from 2926 in 2013 to 4615 in 2014. In a bid to reduce the number of children

infected with the disease, the state government has vowed to introduce free vaccinations for expectant parents and parents of newborns. It is not known when the free vaccinations will begin. The government pledge follows a warning to parents from Victoria’s chief health officer, Rosemary Lester, earlier this month. Dr Lester warned that whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a highly contagious respiratory infection. The disease affects air passages and

children remains the most important measure to control pertussis,” Dr Lester said. “Infants aged less than six months are most susceptible to the severe complications of pertussis.” National Centre for Immunisation and Research of Vaccine Preventable Diseases senior research fellow Dr Helen Quinn believes that immunisation rates are not to blame for the rise in cases, but rather the protection provided by the current vaccine is wearing off.

IP Weerama. While I have heard the committee is already working on the 2016 festival, I think they’re wasting their time and ratepayers’ money. Weerama has a history dating back to 1978, and at its height it ran for 10 days. That’s unbelievable when you think about it. There’s no longer a Werribee council and the City of Wyndham is a different entity to the one that hosted the festival decades ago. Much like the Werribee Cup, it has lost its importance to the community. Many different incarnations have been tried, including moving out of the CBD to the racecourse, which was not successful. Here are some questions that need to be asked and answered. Do the traders in the CBD want it? Should the CBD traders have that big a say in the festival’s future? Is the whole premise of a community festival, based on the needs and wants of 20 or 30 years ago, still relevant today? Could the money from the council be spent more productively in other areas?

Here’s my 20 cents worth. Weerama is past its use-by date and is not relevant to the population of Wyndham in its current form. It was a little brother to Moomba and that was its genesis, but these days floats coming down the main street need to be more impressive than those served up in recent years. Food and craft markets have stolen a big part of the uniqueness of events like this and traders are either for it or against it . . . there seems to be little middle ground. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth the time and effort required to make it worthwhile. People now expect bigger and better spectacles and Weerama never reached those heights. That’s not a criticism but a simple fact. I’m keen to hear your thoughts and those of the CBD traders. I feel for Gerry Greenwood and others like him who worked their butts off on this over the years . . . they’ll be sad at the demise of the festival. I take no delight in saying farewell, but I think it’s time. Your thoughts, as usual, are welcome. ■

Point Cook and Sanctuary Lakes residents are being reminded to lock up after a spate of opportunistic thefts and burglaries from unsecured cars and garages. Senior Constable Kellie Innes, of the Wyndham crime investigation unit, said property crime in both suburbs was an ongoing problem for police, and she urged residents not to be complacent. “People are leaving cars unlocked and garage

from vehicles and using them to get in,” she said. “We’ve had reports of vehicles being stolen after keys had been left in them. “Both Point Cook and Sanctuary Lakes are generally safe areas and this can lead to complacency when it comes to security. “It’s not uncommon for families to leave garage door open while their children are out riding their bikes. Most thieves are desperate and they’ll take any opportunity to steal if the opportunity is presented.”

Senior Constable Innes said police would be stepping up patrols, but she urged residents to take simple steps to ensure they didn’t become a victim. “When you leave, lock internal garage doors leading into your house, ensure your garage doors are down and make sure all vehicles are locked and garage remotes are not left inside,” she said. Anyone with information about these incidents or any criminal activity should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Give Weerama priority

Very sad to see that the Weerama Festival is struggling to get the support needed to happen this year [Festival on life support, Star Weekly Weekly, January 14]. Weerama has the potential to benefit the entire Wyndham community rather than just a small sub-culture, as is the case with most funded public events. It brings all the diverse identities of Wyndham together, something that is desperately needed in our community which is suffering from so much disconnection and apathy. It should be given funding priority by Wyndham council for these reasons and many more. It is also a fact that the newly introduced grant application guidelines make it very difficult to apply for suitable grants. The old version was more “community friendly”. While I agree that the Weerama organisers need to refresh it each year and make it more relevant to our rapidly changing and growing city, that is not a suitable “excuse” for the council to reject the festival’s reasonable request for $60,000. Remember, Wyndham residents are the “shareholders’’. The council, the chief executive and all Wyndham staff work for us and answer to us. Michael Young, via web

Briefs Police nab repeat offender

A Wyndham Vale man, 25, has been caught driving at more than twice the prescribed alcohol limit on the same day he was convicted of a separate drink-driving offence. Just before midnight on January 16, Wyndham highway patrol officers stopped a vehicle in Wilmington Avenue, Hoppers Crossing. The driver tested positive for alcohol and was taken to Werribee police station where he recorded a breath test reading of .117. He had earlier been sentenced to a community corrections order in Werribee Magistrates Court after being convicted of drink-driving and driving while suspended.

Fireworks warning

In the lead-up to the Australia Day long weekend, residents are being urged not to set off illegal fireworks. Doing so risks fines of up to $15,000. Paramedics treated three people across Melbourne for serious burns caused by illegal fireworks during the festive season, and almost 100 lost cats and dogs were impounded across Wyndham.

Masked woman caught

A masked bandit has been caught at Hoppers Crossing after police chased her on foot along the Werribee railway line last Friday. Officers were called to Powell Drive about 4am after reports of someone trying to open car doors. A 26-year-old Tarneit woman, on bail at the time, was caught with allegedly stolen goods and charged with aggravated burglary and going equipped to steal. She was remanded in custody.

Super-wipes at work

VicRoads has started cleaning graffiti from a 30-kilometre stretch of the Princes Freeway. The project is part of VicRoads’ 2014-15 graffiti removal strategy, following on from graffiti removal on the West Gate Freeway last year. VicRoads has a policy of removing offensive graffiti within 24 hours. It can be reported on 13 11 70.

Werribee South landowners are being encouraged to think about trading water if they predict they will run low this season. Southern Rural Water says the region is facing the toughest summer for years. Groundwater and rivers general manager Craig Parker said there has been an increase in landowners looking for water to trade. He has urged farmers who will not use their allocation to consider a temporary or permanent trade. Southern Rural Water has a free, online trading forum known as Watermatch that allows people to register their interest in either buying or selling water. Details: www.srw.com.au.

Wyndham still homebuyers’ pick By Laura Michell Wyndham suburbs are continuing to prove popular with homebuyers, with Point Cook and Werribee recording the highest number of sales in the western suburbs in the first half of 2014. New data from the Victorian ValuerGeneral’s office reveal that 285 houses were sold in Werribee and Point Cook between January 1 and June 30 last year. They were followed by Sunbury with 275 and Tarneit, 259.

In Hoppers Crossing, 237 houses were sold, while Truganina had 120 sales. In Wyndham Vale, 163 houses changed hands, while 54 were sold in Williams Landing. Werribee also retained its title as Wyndham’s least expensive suburb, the median house price falling 3.1 per cent from $309,500 in June 2013 to $300,000 in June 2014. Harcourts senior sales partner Michelle Chick said Werribee was popular with buyers because of its proximity to the city. She said buyers were interested in Werribee

because they believed they were getting more value for their money than in other Wyndham suburbs, such as Hoppers Crossing. Point Cook prices rose a modest 1.6 per cent from $438,700 in June 2013 to $445,500 in June last year. LJ Hooker Point Cook director Paul Caine said Point Cook remained popular with families. “Point Cook has a family feel to the area and it’s only 20 kilometres to the city,” Mr Caine said.

“It has the family-oriented facilities that people are looking for, such as parks and good schools.” House prices in Hoppers Crossing jumped 9.7 per cent in the same period, increasing from $310,000 to $340,000, while Tarneit prices rose 4.9 per cent to $385,000. Wyndham Vale’s prices also increased by more than four per cent to $325,000. Prices in Truganina rose from a median of $355,000 to $360,400, while in Williams Landing they fell from $520,000 to $460,000.

Century of fire dowsing Firefighters from across Victoria will descend on Wyndham this weekend to celebrate Werribee Fire Brigade’s 100th anniversary. The festivities kick off at Galvin Park on Saturday when 17 senior and 25 junior volunteer fire brigades will test their skills and fitness against each other and the clock as part of a two-day competition. Events start at 9am on both days with firefighters to step back in time and use large hose reels based on those from the late 1800s and early 1900s. On Saturday night, the brigades will join forces as the Werribee crew leads a torchlight procession down Watton Street from 8.30. The march, beginning at the Comben Drive carpark before heading along Watton Street to the Wyndham Cultural Centre, will feature vintage and modern fire trucks, the RAAF Band, Werribee Concert Band, Hyde Street Junior Band, Victorian Ambulance Band and the Clans of the West Pipe Band.

Watton Street will be closed to through traffic for a short time during the procession. After more than 53 years tackling fires, Werribee’s First Lieutenant Darryl Wells, the brigade’s longest-serving captain and father of current captain Michael Wells, encouraged residents to show their support. “We urge Wyndham residents, their family and friends to come and see this once-in-a-lifetime event and help Werribee Fire Brigade celebrate its centenary year,” Mr Wells said.

West goes economy class By Sumeyya Ilanbey Thousands of western suburbs students are learning in a growing number of sub-standard portable classrooms, new figures have revealed. In some schools, more than half the students will study this year in “relocatable buildings”. An Education Department tender document has outlined that “population growth, high-density suburban development and emerging regional growth corridors and constraints on capital investment” have increased the demand for portables.

Australian Education Union Victorian branch president Meredith Peace blamed a lack of foresight for the unprecedented number of portables popping up at school grounds in the west. She said there needed to be more investment in, and planning for, the state’s growth corridors. “There’s a desperate need for schools and those schools haven’t been built quickly enough,” Ms Peace said. “I think we’re seeing a greater pressure on relocatables because the previous government didn’t act fast enough to ensure we had new

schools.” A spokesman for the department said “relocatables” offered a flexible and efficient solution to address various issues. “The relocatables provide state-of-the-art learning environments comparable to a school’s permanent classrooms,” the spokesman said. “Melbourne’s outer western suburbs are the fastest-growing area of Victoria. So schools in the area typically receive more of the relocatables.” The number of portable classroom “transfers” across the state is expected to

rise from about 160 in 2012-13 to 260 this financial year. Meanwhile, 61 portable classrooms were “transferred” to schools in the western suburbs last financial year, followed by 58 in the south, 53 in the north and 24 in the east. The department is now seeking expressions of interest to transfer the buildings in a bid to cut the program’s annual cost of $30-$40 million. The Andrews government made an election pledge of $50 million to replace 250 portable classrooms and $510 million to rebuild schools across the state.

Castles in the sand

These aren’t your typical sandcastles, they’re works of art. Some of the world’s best sand sculptors, including dual Australian champion Jino van Bruinessen (pictured), visited Werribee Plaza last week. Using more than 24 tonnes of sand, they carved out a summer carnival scene which included an elephant, lions and a clown. Until February 1, children will be able to have their photos taken with the sculptures, take part in sand art workshops and win tickets to Sand Sculpting Australia’s exhibition at Frankston Beach.

New Aussie thanks lucky stars

‘‘

(Shawn Smits)

It’s easy to take for granted the freedom and opportunities we enjoy in Australia. Mae Sie Win is finally living without fear and in a place where he can realise his dreams. But his journey to reach our shores would have broken many people. Mr Win is a member of the Karenni people, a minority whose persecution in Burma goes back to the country’s independence from Britain in 1948. Forty years on, when he was just 13, there was an uprising against military rule. He was taken from his home at gunpoint by the Burmese military and marched through the mountains and the jungle in sweltering humidity. Along the way, he was beaten and barely fed as he carried the supplies and ammunition of the soldiers. “Every time we slipped, they kicked us,” Mr Win said. “We were given two spoons of rice and two pieces of pork as a meal, but we were always very thirsty and weak. “It was so unbearably hot that we had to walk on our heels and then our toes. “One night, we heard gunshots and were told one of those captured had been shot, but we never found out if the soldiers had killed him.” Finally released, he returned home, only to find he had contracted malaria during his capture. “Because of the time I had been away, my family thought I was already dead,” he said. Four years later, the military again entered his village. “At that time, my father said we couldn’t keep hiding and the only opportunity of providing us with an education and some safety was to enter a refugee camp on the Thai-Burma border,” he said. “Life was very basic, though,

and we had no electricity or sanitation. We didn’t feel like we had any hope.” Determined to make a better life, Mr Win took on the educational assistance provided within the camp and graduated from high school in 1998 before being given the chance to embark on university education in Thailand. In 2008, his sister was accepted into Australia as a refugee and in 2010 he joined her. Since that time, he has devoted himself to helping his Karenni community, both in Australia and in Thailand, raising over $65,000 to assist the survivors of the Mae Surin refugee camp fire in 2013, which killed 38 and left thousands homeless.

Australia Day was one of the happiest days of my life - Mae Sie Win

’’

Now a settlement worker at the Wyndham Community and Education Centre, Mr Win assists newly arrived migrants. He’s also president of the Karenni Federation of Australia and recently completed his masters of international community development degree. However, his most satisfying experience came in August last year when he became an Australian citizen. “It was one of the happiest days of my life,” he said. “In Burma, I never had a document saying I was a Burmese citizen so I look at it as a privilege to be officially recognised and to have an identity.” Mr Win now lives in Hoppers Crossing with his wife and young daughter and one day hopes to enter politics. He said Australia Day was a chance for people to reflect on how lucky we are and the people and achievements that have made our country what it is.

“It’s still a practical, simple way to dive.” Mr Maynard, a Yarraville resident, said a new helmet could be bought for a few thousand dollars, while a rare antique helmet with a bit of history could be worth $50,000. “Many scuba divers with an interest in history have branched into diving with the original helmets, suits and lead weights, but they are using scuba tanks to supply the air rather than traditional pumps. “Interest in the sport has grown tremendously in the past 20 years. In Australia, it’s mostly recreational diving in the same sense that people will collect old cars and restore them … it’s a little bit of nostalgia in a lot of ways.” More information at www.seaworks.com.au

He looks like he’s just stepped back in time. Jeff Maynard, of the Historical Diving Society, is one of five deep-sea divers who will take the plunge at Williamstown for the Seaworks Maritime Festival this weekend. The Australia Day event commemorates 150 years since the Confederate raider CSS Shenandoah docked in Melbourne in 1865. Four or five divers will take turns gearing up and trudging along the sea bed near Workshop Pier each day from Saturday until Monday, between 11am and 3pm. Mr Maynard said diving with helmets and air hoses was developed in England in the 1830s and still practised today. “The US Navy had a helmet designed to its specifications in 1917 and a Milwaukee manufacturer still produces them to those same details nearly 100 years later,” he said.

Police have charged three men over the death of Michael Strike, whose body was found near Keilor cemetery in May last year. Werribee man Luke Paul Maybus, 27, appeared before Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday, charged with the murder of Mr Strike at Keilor East on May 24. Maybus was also charged with arson and theft of a motor vehicle. Brunswick man John Walker, 32, was charged later the same day with a single count of murder, and 40-year-old Boronia

man Joseph Girgis was charged with being an accessory to murder. Walker and Girgis appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday. Police allege that the day after killing Mr Strike, Maybus stole a white Ford transit wagon from Dohertys Gym, next door to the Bandidos’ bikie clubhouse on Weston Street, Brunswick, and set it alight in Footscray. The charges follow a second raid on the Bandidos’ clubhouse last week when homicide squad and Echo taskforce detectives seized a couch for forensic testing. Mr Strike was found propped up against a

Homicide investigators have spent the past eight months trying to determine the circumstances surrounding the 38-year-old Dandenong man’s death. Investigators have established that Mr Strike arrived in Brunswick about 4.15pm on Saturday, May 24, and spent time at a hotel in Weston Street before leaving just after 5.20pm. He can then be seen on CCTV walking east along Weston Street. But investigators have not been able to account for Mr Strike’s whereabouts after that time.

Win for ambos, patients Construction has started on a new ambulance station for Werribee. The station is being built in Russell Street, about a kilometre from the station in Bridge Street. The new station will house the Wyndham Vale service. Ambulance Victoria group manager Tony Elliott said construction of the station started earlier this month and is expected to be completed by mid-year. “The state-of-the-art, purpose-built branch will feature ambulance parking bays, training and office space, and amenities,” he said. “The branch’s central location offers excellent access to main roads to enhance ambulance response times for the community.” The new station will be staffed by a 24-hour

It will be the fifth station built in Wyndham, joining stations at Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit and Point Cook.

Dear Resident, Many families are spending January preparing their children for the new school year. Buying books, stationery and new school uniforms. I know this can be an expensive time of the year, especially so soon after Christmas. I’m pleased the Schools Kids bonus is still available for low income families, although only for the next 2 years. For primary school aged children you will receive $2111 per child and $421 for each secondary school student. These payments will come automatically into your account if eligible. If your combined family income is less than $100,000 and you have not received your Schools Kids Bonus after January 20th 2015, please do not hesitate to contact my office for assistance. One of the most important issues for me this year is to fight to ensure the Gonski school funding model is delivered in full. Our community was set to benefit from the extra school funding, now in doubt due the Abbott Government cuts. The importance of a great education for our children cannot be undervalued and ensuring the promised funding comes through is something worth fighting for. Kind regards

MY WYNDHAM Walter Villagonzalo migrated with his family from the Philippines to Australia in 1986 and has been an avid volunteer at Hoppers Crossing. He helped establish the Migrant Hub in 2009 to help migrants find their place in the community. Rebecca Miller writes.

What do you remember being in Wyndham that’s no longer there? The MiHUB Café started in the Mambourin Sensory Gardens and was Wyndham’s best kept secret. We used to have festivals and events there but later moved due to lack of support from the local council. Now the gardens are no longer used by the community. What do you like about Wyndham? Its diversity. The area has become more welcoming to asylum seekers, and it’s familyoriented. What would you change? There’s not enough jobs in the area.

I’m president of the Migrant Hub, a member of Wyndham council’s cultural diversity committee, vice-president of the Australian Council for Multicultural Entrepreneurs, and a member of the original advisory council of the Victorian Multicultural Commission for the north-west region. I was one of the founders of the Migrant Hub in 2009 and continue to volunteer there full-time. We then started social enterprises, including the MiHUB Café and My Refuge. My Refuge started three years ago and provides support and accommodation for asylum seekers on bridging visas. So far we have supported more than 700 clients.

Many migrants have talents and skills yet to be discovered, but they need the support of local council and government to help them set up new businesses. We need to create more social enterprises for them to work in because more local jobs would reduce the traffic congestion. I’d like to see parks and community centres

used more as meeting places where people can share their visions and have a barbecue together. What’s your favourite eatery or place to get coffee? MiHub Café in Werribee do a great beef rendang and Saffron Kitchen in Laverton has

delicious vegetarian food. I also like Church Chicken House in Werribee. How do you spend your downtime? I don’t have much, but when I do I like to visit Werribee Plaza to look at the different businesses opening, just to see the growth of the area. 10021474-01-1169977-RC04-14

Werribee shire’s new engineer, John Nicol, has pointed out to council a large discrepancy in Werribee River flow claims made by a subdivider near the river and the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission. The respective figures came to light at a recent town planning appeal concerning a Hooker-Rex estate between Ballan Road and the Werribee River.

A Mossfiel fire crew rescued two Lovely Banks firemen who had fled from their truck in the face of 10-metre flames on Monday, at the height of the bushfires which swept the west. One of the rescued men suffered burns to his hands and smoke inhalation and was taken to Geelong Hospital.

20 years ago

10 years ago

The Werribee stretch of the Princes Highway was last week named one of the most dangerous sections of road in Victoria by chairman of the Westgate Community Road Safety Council, Bill Somers. The highway was the scene of 31 accidents between December 31, 1994, and January 13 (1995).

A fur seal pictured frolicking at Werribee South in last week’s Banner is dead, allegedly after it was gunned down at sea. The large Australian fur seal was photographed fishing off Werribee South. Over the next two to three days it was slain, its bullet-ridden body left rotting under the hot sun at Campbells Cove.

KNOW YOUR GRASSFIRE RISK THIS SUMMER

If you live near open grassland, parks, paddocks or reserves, you could be impacted by grassfire.

IT’S UP TO YOU TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE STARTS. DO YOU LIVE ONE OR TWO STREETS AWAY FROM GRASSLAND? Stay inside your home – grassfires are unlikely to spread past the first row of houses Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

DO YOU LIVE ON A FENCELINE NEXT TO GRASSLAND? If a fire starts, quickly move one or two streets away from the fenceline or park boundary Act early, even if you haven’t received a warning Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

Remember, it’s up to you to monitor weather conditions and warnings. Always keep an eye on the conditions outside - you may be aware of a fire before emergency services. If you see smoke or flames, call Triple Zero (000).

Hands up who’s been getting stuck into salads since Christmas? After stuffing ourselves to the gills with turkey, pork, roast spuds and plum pudding, it’s not surprising many of us like to start the new year trying to make up for the holiday stodge-fest. Summer screams salad, but a snap poll of friends on social media reveals the old wilted lettuce and tomato variety just doesn’t cut it anymore. Here are some inspiring ideas to turn a so-so side dish into a magnificent main event. Abby loves the combination of couscous, walnut, parsley, smooth feta and roasted pumpkin. “Reduced balsamic vinegar dressing makes it insanely good,” she says. Hope suggests shredded apple, carrots, white/purple cabbage, chopped mint leaves, capsicum and pine nuts, mixed with your favourite mayonnaise. Patrina says: “My mum has a ripper recipe with marshmallow and coconut. I know it sounds gross, but trust me – with a barbecue, it’s amazing!” Then there’s my cousin Marg’s famous rice salad, combining wild rice, finely sliced brown onion gently sautéed in olive oil, a big slurp of soy sauce, toasted almonds, sesame seeds and pine nuts. My good friend Tracey says she is constantly asked to make her colourful, fruity summer salad over the festive season. Combine one mango (cut into chunks), a handful of snow peas, one chopped cucumber, one chopped red onion, some chopped mint and a couple of sliced yellow fresh peaches. Then there’s my husband, Kevin, who is a MASSIVE fan of coleslaw during the warmer months. I call this Tennessee-inspired favourite Kev’s mustard ’slaw. Combine about half a medium head of shredded white cabbage, one medium grated carrot and two finely sliced sticks of celery. For the dressing, mix together half a cup of your favourite mayonnaise, a quarter of a cup of seeded mustard, a quarter of a cup of apple cider vinegar and a quarter of a cup of caster sugar. Season with salt and pepper and mix through. It’s got a real zing to it! Do you have a salad recipe that always gets rave reviews? Email: sarah@howdypartnersmedia. com.au. I look forward to sharing another year of food adventures with you all.

choice in what’s fast becoming a foodie precinct. Tastebuds will be tempted by Jamie Oliver’s restaurant Jamie’s Italian, by Sean Connelly’s Sean’s Kitchen at the Adelaide Casino, and the range of eclectic pubs, cafes and restaurants along Rundle and Gouger streets. Rundle Mall is a shopper’s paradise, with

more than 700 retail stores, three major department stores, 15 arcades and centres, and buskers left, right and centre. Also in the heart of the city is the Adelaide Zoo, which features giant pandas Wang Wang and Funi, who are on loan from China as part of a conservation program to protect endangered wildlife.

Ten kilometres from the city is the charming seaside resort of Glenelg, where you can swim with wild dolphins. For wine lovers, the only problem with being in South Australia is deciding which wine regions to visit. Having long been fans of Taylors Shiraz, we drove 90 minutes out of

AP45/WMDEC3

“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. The only downside is internet access. Apart from a daily free Wifi hour in the downstairs bar and lounge, guests incur a daily fee to access it. A great thing about Adelaide is that pretty much everything is within walking distance. Once outside the hotel, tourists are spoilt for

Adelaide to visit the Taylors Estate in the Clare Valley, which has more than 40 cellar doors stretching between the towns of Auburn and Clare. The region is also gaining a reputation for boutique beer, and we stopped at Hop and Vine in Auburn to try out a “flight”; that is, a sample

of four of their craft beers. We also spent a day driving through the famous Barossa Valley, including the 10 kilometre-long Seppeltsfield Road, which is flanked by palm trees and is home to some of the Barossa’s most famous wineries and gourmet destinations. You might need a week to see everything

this region has to offer, but the Maggie Beer Farm Shop, Jacobs Creek cellar door and the Barossa Valley Cheese Company are must-sees if you have only a few hours to spare. So, when planning your next holiday, don’t ask yourself, why Adelaide; ask how you’re going to fit in everything there is to see, eat and do.

With a large deck out back and separate pergola, this property is the ideal place for barbecues this summer. The front and backyards are further enhanced by landscaped gardens. And there’s the convenience of a remote-controlled double garage with internal and back access. Inside, space abounds for a family, with three bedrooms, including the main with en suite; a study; carpeted lounge room; open-plan family-meals zone with split-system and polished floorboards; and a kitchen with polished floorboards, island bench and stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher. A powder room is downstairs, while the main bathroom is up top. Features are high ceilings, ducted heating, roman blinds and Colorbond fences. The 632-square-metre property is within walking distance of Point Cook Town Centre, childcare, Carranballac P-9 College and Emmanuel College. Williams Landing train station is a short drive away.

Home buyers looking for a house that has individual style and doesn’t fit the usual cookie-cutter variety won’t be disappointed with this one in Ecoville estate. The timber-clad façade of the four-year-old residence instantly makes it look at home with the natural environment, including landscaped front garden and nearby park. Inside, floating floorboards add character to the family-meals zone with split-system, and kitchen which has stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher. A large family will be easily accommodated in four carpeted bedrooms – with ceiling fans and wall heaters. Three have built-in wardrobes and the main has a fully tiled en suite with stone-topped vanity unit, and a walk-in wardrobe. Out back, a low-maintenance yard is ready for new owners to landscape how they choose; meanwhile a solar-powered single garage with internal access is included.

First-home buyers whose new year’s resolution was to have their own place can achieve that goal with this property. The rendered residence has three bedrooms – two with built-in wardrobes and the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite. A dining room is at the front, while a lounge room with split-system is at the back. The kitchen has a dishwasher and ample storage and bench space. And a neutral colour palette throughout simplifies matching furnishings with the décor. Ducted heating, an alarm, Colorbond fences, a single garage with back access and additional off-street parking space are included. The 594-square-metre property has proximity to Presidents Park, Manor Lakes Central shopping centre, childcare, Iramoo Primary school, Galvin Park and Wyndham Central secondary colleges. Werribee train station is a short drive away.

It could be a challenge to find a more spotless house and manicured garden than what’s on offer at this Wyndham Vale address. The five-year-old house has four bedrooms, including the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite which has a twin-basin vanity unit. A spacious lounge room is at the front, while an open-plan family-meals zone and separate rumpus room are at the back. Also back here is the kitchen with walk-in pantry, island bench with Caesarstone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher. Porcelain tiles, ducted heating, feature walls, Colorbond fences and a remote-controlled double garage are all included. Out back is an undercover area with deck; beyond this are low-maintenance gardens just like in the front yard. The property is in a handy spot for families, with shops, childcare, Iramoo Primary school and Wyndham Vale Reserve nearby.

Price: $750,000+

Backing onto the Werribee River, this property of about 1733 square metres delivers a knock-out punch when it comes to the sheer size of the spread, an aspect not immediately evident kerbside. You almost need a compass to navigate the house as more and more accommodation opens up on the journey through. As can be first seen from the gabled timber-and-glass entry portico (attached to a triple carport), there have been lots of changes made to this place, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inside where transformation really struts its stuff. Original elements such as angled and pitched ceilings, clerestory windows and garden windows in bedrooms remain and now harmonise with contemporary additions. The colour palette is spot-on for

today, with a combination of grey/charcoal on floors and window roller blinds and white/neutral shades on walls. On the right of entry is the main bedroom with a fitted dressing room and fully tiled en suite with a double shower and dual vanity basins. Four more bedrooms (each with robes, one also with desk and shelves) are in their own wing and are serviced by a skylit bathroom with dual vanity basins and a spa. In-wall sliders opposite the main bedroom open to a large carpeted rumpus/ entertainment room with glass sliders to a brick-paved courtyard, attractively planted with low-upkeep grasses. Next comes a massive, tiled living space with a wall of glass framing courtyard views.

A couple of steps head down from here to a huge extension completed about 18 months ago, all light-filled and modern. The kitchen here sits under a steeply angled ceiling, and two clerestory windows admit streams of light. Grey Caesarstone benches, glass splashback, loads of white cupboards, a corner step-in pantry, a Miele dishwasher and Ilve underbench oven and 900mm gas cooktop make a pleasing cooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; domain, and a servery bench to the tiled meals zone is a well-considered component. The sitting area in this space has interesting architectural angles, is carpeted for comfort and has a gas log fire. And the laundry (next door to the kitchen) under an angled ceiling is a

cracker with loads of storage. More steps then go down to a huge indoor pool, surrounded by terracotta tiles. Tropical plantings add coolness, and there are a powder room and change room with shower. At the back, a huge terracotta-tiled outdoor area, enclosed with brick walls and with pool room/living hub access, is another treat. The living hub also opens to an elevated, terracotta-tiled deck with views of a large, attractively landscaped side yard. Fruit trees, a vegie patch and a bore are other drawcards at a property full of surprises. Carole Levy 35 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 21, 2015

SPORT Roos hellbent on win as Cats crumble One major slip-up was all it took for Hoppers Crossing to tumble out of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s senior division top four. The Cats were sunk by bottom-of-the-ladder Greenvale Kangaroos, losing by 76 runs in one of the shock results of the season at Hogans Road Reserve on Saturday. The visiting Roos were hellbent on causing an upset, posting an imposing 7-206 off 40 overs. Dinesh Daminda worked hard with the ball for the Cats to take 3-39, and youngster Mitchell Ellis grabbed 2-42, but every dismissal was met with an even stronger reaction from the Roos batsmen. While the Cats made a solid start to their run chase, with James Grixti (28) and Duleeka Thisakuttige (34) combining for 55 to take the score to 2-69, the wicket of Grixti sparked a

massive collapse with his side losing its last nine wickets for 61 to be all out for 130. Despite its surprising defeat, the Cats are only five points off top spot and have a chance to make some inroads against Airport WestSt Christophers for the two-day game starting this Saturday. In west A1, the aura around Wyndhamvale is growing by the game as its time at the top of the ladder marches on. The Falcons made light work of Sunshine Heights at Wyndhamvale Reserve, winning by nine wickets. The Ford brothers came to the fore, Jonathan snaring 4-16 and captain Andrew scoring 71 not out. Werribee Centrals remain mired in the relegation zone after a 32-run loss to the resurgent Altona Roosters at their away

match at Langshaw Reserve. Chasing 159 for victory, the Centurions stumbled to 6-69 before wicketkeeper Chris Duffin (27) and Chris Hughes (35) put on 52 to give their side a fighting chance. But they would come up short, bowled out for 126 in the scramble for fast, late runs. In west B1, Seabrook claimed its first win since round four, upsetting Kingsville Baptists by 35 runs at Bruce Comben Reserve. The Saints got on the front foot, posting 6-152 in 40 overs on the back of 46 to skipper Leigh Edwards. Their bowlers got the job done, too, routing Kingsville for 117, with Mitchell Haberecht (3-27) and Bernard O’Dwyer (3-24) doing the main damage. Lance Jenkinson

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ The Werribee Golf Club president sent a letter to members this month that certainly sounded a universal chord with anyone involved in a sporting club. The theme was pretty simple and, for me, absolutely correct: Appreciate the people on your club committee rather than pot them at every opportunity. There is nothing easier than criticising the people running your club and being critical of club facilities. In 2015, try and help, remedy problems at your club rather than point them out. Anyone can do that, but to be part of the solution is a totally different dynamic. I have been quite happy to hear from my contacts that the Werribee course has never been in better condition. ■ Hostilities have begun early for the first Legends game between the Glenorden Football Club and Wyndhamvale Falcons. The game is not scheduled until Sunday, March 29, at Glenorden Sports Club in Kookaburra Avenue. History talks of the Hatfields and the McCoys, but history is still being made. The contacts for the two clubs are Justin Menzel for the Hawks on 0414 508 317 and, for the Falcons, who else but Nathan Evans, on 0413 554 759. At this stage, no criteria have been established as to what constitutes a “legend” at either of the clubs, but I am tipping names like Evans and Comensoli will be there. Both clubs are keen to hear from any former players in the lead-up to the Legends game. ■ The Asian Cup tournament has brought home the opportunity that soccer offers, capturing the hearts and minds of the youth of this country. I am using some home research here, but my son is besotted by the Socceroos. Soccer is a simpler game at grassroots level and international as well, which can’t be replicated by the AFL. Depending on the success of the Socceroos, I can see AFL footy facing some real issues in the immediate future.

Warriors find their mojo By Lance Jenkinson The best way to wipe the slate clean is by winning your first game of the new year. Point Cook had a disastrous end to 2014, finishing the year in the cellar of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association west A1, but there is a more positive outlook in the camp after its shock 31-run win over finals-contending Footscray United on foreign turf at Scovell Reserve last Saturday. “I said to the guys after the game, forget about what happened before Christmas, you can’t change that,” Warriors skipper Travis Bean told Star Weekly. “Let’s just use this win to go forward.” The Warriors are still last on the ladder with two wins for the summer, but the winning feeling is back and the team will take confidence from their upset win – their first since round three. “When you’re battling, it’s great to have a good win,” Bean said. The Warriors also have a favourable draw 68 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 21, 2015

with three of its final four matches of the season at home. Two of these will be against sides nearby on the ladder, so there’ll be opportunity to not only build on a lowly points tally but hinder the progress of close rivals. “There’s an opportunity there for us to try and stay out of that relegation zone,” Bean said. “At least we have our destiny in our own hands; it’s up to us in the last four or five games.” Point Cook’s winless streak came to an end on the back of a strong performance with the bat. The Warriors posted 9-175 off their allotted 40 in the limited-overs match, with David Hicks (79) and Bean (50) sharing a 106-run fourth-wicket stand. Hicks was the aggressor, picking off the United bowlers at will in what was described as a “chanceless innings” until he went out. “He batted really well, didn’t play a false shot the whole time,” Bean said. “When he got out, he was trying to push it on and he put the team ahead of himself.

“David’s one of our junior products; he won the best player in the first XI two seasons ago and he’s one of the most talented kids to have come through the club.” Bean was happy to play the support act, facing the new ball as opener and surviving until the second-last over. It was the first time he had opened all summer, having batted in a variety of spots from fourth through to eighth, and he might have found a new role. “My role today was to try and bat through, provide a bit of stability, and it worked well,” he said. The Warriors bowlers put the clamps on the usually free-scoring United, skittling the home side for 144. Joe Farmer led the way with 4-39, while Alex Shanks took 3-25, including the prized scalp of Geeth Silva, who had made 142 in the previous match, for 77 runs. “For a minute there, I thought he was going to take the game away from us, so it was a big wicket,” Bean said.

■ This is a scenario that will impact on local footy as well. As a parent, which code is the best for my son? Obviously, he has the major say in the road he takes, but his mother and I have influence. I am very interested in knowing what readers have done here – do you let the child pick or do you have the final say? We don’t want to be seen as pushy parents – there is a fine line. I hope we can find it when the time comes. Kevin Hillier

Run not just fun for Dan By Lance Jenkinson Western Athletics youngster Daniel Dunstone will use his victory in the junior boys section of the Lorne Mountain to Surf as a launching pad for a big first quarter of the year. Dunstone overcame heavy rain and a bout of nerves to finish this month’s eight-kilometre fun run eighth overall and first in his section. He covered the undulating course in a time of 25 minutes 17.2 seconds, finishing ahead of Bacchus Marsh’s Lucas Shugg (26:23.5) and Sandringham’s Corey Rich (27:17.9). “I’m thrilled,” Dunstone told Star Weekly. “Good race, good time, good place as well. It was enjoyable, but it was a tough race.” Dunstone, who lives in Seabrook, worked overtime in the lead-up. He ran upwards of 100km a week, taking in some of his favourite running spots at Altona Hill, Truganina Park and the You Yangs. Veteran Western Athletics coach Peter Burke has been by his side since 2009. Dunstone’s dad, Phil, who is the club’s cross-country team manager, said Burke sometimes has to rein in his son’s enthusiasm. Dunstone jnr says his love of running leads him to overdo it on occasions. “Sometimes I do too many k’s without realising.” Burke is sure to have Dunstone on strict kilometre counts in the coming weeks. Dunstone needs to be at his peak for the world cross-country selection trials in Canberra on February 8. The 17-year-old is considered a great chance to make Australia’s under-20 team for the IAAF world cross-country championships in China in March. “They can only select five, so if I come in the top five, they’ll select me,” he said. “I’ve been training consistently. There’s no mistake I’ve made with it. I’m ready.”

Matthew Hargreaves shone brightest under the stars to take out the 2015 St Albans Gift at Kings Park Reserve on Saturday night. The Werribee sprinter burst to the line to claim the 120m open main event in a time of 12.94 seconds, ahead of Nick Magree (13.01) and Daniel Steinhauser (13.04). Peter Dudkiewicz (13.07), Edward Ware (13.10) and Matthew Harvey (13.13) were other runners who made it through to the final. Kirsty Stevens triumphed in the 120m Women’s Gift.

Werribee was left frustrated after another lost game on home soil in Bowls Victoria’s division 1. The Hive at Watton Street has long been a Bees’ fortress, but this summer it has taken just three of six games at home. Werribee shared two rinks apiece with Elsternwick Club but went down overall for an 87-79 loss on Saturday. The second-placed Bees will be back at home on Saturday for a must-win clash against mid-table Donvale. Meanwhile, Hoppers remains second-last on the division 2 ladder after a 91-66 loss to the powerful Sunbury.

Fightback grit, last-ball desperation deliver a Tiger win Werribee emerged victorious after a cliffhanger finish to beat Balwyn by one wicket in a thrilling Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association north-west match. It came down to the last-ball heroics of Tiger tailender Matthew Palmer, who had to dig out a well-located yorker from the bowling of Balwyn captain Liam Murphy and hope Jonathan Burton scampered through for the match-winning run. The ball sprung off the toe of Palmer’s bat and over the head of wicketkeeper Deelan Ramjee where no fielder was located, allowing Burton to cruise through for the run. Tigers captain Shaun Dean said that by the time the ball was released, Burton “was halfway down the wicket”. “It was a full, wide-ish yorker, not a bad ball,

but Matty just jammed down on it, the keeper was up and the ball lobbed over the top … an easy single because there was no one behind the keeper,” he said. “Jono was well on his way, don’t worry about that.” At times, a Tiger victory seemed unlikely as they chased Balwyn’s 275. They refused to wave the white flag despite being in all sorts of trouble at 4-46 early on and in more strife just after tea at 6-142. The Tigers have always claimed to bat deep and this was their chance to prove it. The first sign of a revival came in a steadying partnership between anchor Chris Hennessy (45) and clean-striking James Freeman (54). They produced 95 for the fifth wicket but fell in quick succession. “They were looking really good and at tea

we were right back in the game,” Dean said. “After tea, Jimmy got out and Henners got out … we were back on the canvas. I thought, we’re not looking the greatest … the odds would’ve been stacked heavily in Balwyn’s favour at that stage.” But the Tigers can never be written off while allrounder Heath Pritchard (61) still has a say. The young and old combo of Pritchard and Tom Duxson (31) changed the complexion of the game with a 90-run seventh wicket stand. Pritchard fell with his side 44 runs short

of the target, but Duxson picked up the slack with Palmer, the pair adding 20. With the dismissals of Duxson and Mason Frenkel (0), the Tigers were still 21 short with just one wicket in hand. “When your last pair needs 21 on a slow wicket, you’re not too confident,” Dean said. But Palmer (24no) and Burton (13no) would be the heroes of the day for the Tigers, timing the last 21 runs to perfection for the last-ball win. The match was a must-win for the Tigers, who could have tumbled out of the top six had other results not gone their way. Instead, they have consolidated their grip on fourth place ahead of a visit from ninth-placed Ivanhoe over the next two Saturdays. Lance Jenkinson

Double the excitement By Lance Jenkinson Werribee rising tennis star Masa Jovanovic will feature in her first Grand Slam after earning a wildcard into the Australian Open mixed doubles with playing partner Samuel Thompson. Jovanovic’s focus on singles was subverted by an out-of-the-blue phone call from Thompson last year. A long-time friend through tennis, Thompson asked Jovanovic if she was interested in trying her hand at mixed doubles for the first time in her career. She was hesitant at first before deciding to give it a go. “We’ve known each other since we were little kids,” Jovanovic said. “I was in Cairns playing singles challengers and he was like, ‘hey, do you want to play?’ … I got back to him and said, ‘yes’.” It turned out to be a great decision. The duo immediately clicked on court, taking all before them in qualifying. They sealed a berth in their home grand slam after upsetting the top-seeded Gavin Van Peperzeel and Ashling Sumner 4-1 in a Fast4 format final. “Words can’t explain it, it’s pretty awesome,” Jovanovic said. “We’re over the moon. “I don’t think it’s going to sink in until we get out there on court in our first mixed doubles match.” Jovanovic said the pair’s playing styles were fairly adaptable. Her strength is on the backhand, while Thompson has power on the forehand. The key to their success is communication. Jovanovic, 20, arrived in Australia as a three-year-old when her parents, Momir and Eva, moved their family from Serbia. She attended Woodville Primary School and later completed her VCE at MacKillop College. The family is proud to call Werribee home and honoured to be able to represent the town on a stage as big as the Australian Open. “We’re proud because we’ve been in Werribee from day one when we arrived from Serbia,” Eva said. “We like this area … we know how some other people from the other side of the city look at Werribee … that’s why we’re proud that someone like Masa is coming from Werribee.” Eva knew her daughter only ever wanted one thing in life and that was to become a professional tennis player. That came as no surprise because Momir was both a physical education teacher and tennis coach back in Serbia. “We decided to keep her at school to finish high school and after that she could do what she wanted,” Eva said. “She always wanted to be a pro tour tennis player and she’s doing extremely well.” Momir has had a massive influence on Jovanovic’s career. He is her coach and has sacrificed his own career to be there every step of the way. 70 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 21, 2015

He washes dishes for a big hotel in the city at night and trains Jovanovic during the day before catching some sleep and repeating the routine the next day. “He’s given so much to me it’s ridiculous,” Jovanovic said. “Coach, dad – I mean, he gets on my nerves sometimes because he’s my dad and he’s not just a random coach, but he does so much for me. “He does night shift and then after the shift he comes home … we head to training in the morning, he comes back home and sleeps it off and then we repeat.

“He’s awesome, I love him for it – hopefully it will pay off one day.” Jovanovic has a positive feeling about 2015 after last year was ravaged by a rotator cuff injury. This year has already been memorable. Last week she faced Alicia Molik and Josh Frydenberg in an exhibition game at Melbourne Park for Rafa’s Summer Set charity event. Jovanovic is confident she and Thompson can go beyond the first round at the open, while later in the week she will represent MCC Tennis Club in the Asia-Pacific Tennis League finals.

The 2015 National Youth Teams Challenge trophy for tenpin bowling stays in our backyard after Victoria took the competition by storm at the Wyncity Entertainment Centre in Point Cook last week. The Big V’s male (599) and female (541) teams combined to topple 1140 pins and take out the overall competition from a Singapore invitational team (990) and Queensland (935). Victoria (599) was crowned champions in the male section, with Queensland (470) coming second and Singapore and New South Wales (both 420) a dead-heat for third. Singapore (570) triumphed in the female section over Victoria (541) and Queensland (465). Local stars Sam Curry (Hoppers Crossing) and Lachlan Merchant (Point Cook) played at a consistently high level, topping the male singles scoring. Curry combined with Elliott Batiste as the best male doubles pairing, while Rebekah Commane and Emily Rigney were the stand-out female doubles team. Tenpin Bowling Australia praised Wyncity management for the smooth running of both the National Youth Teams Challenge and the National Youth Cup, won by Merchant, the previous week. Lance Jenkinson
