Royal relay rolls in The sun was shining, the crowds were cheering and there were smiles all around when the Queen’s Baton Relay came to Werribee yesterday. School students, residents and traders were out in force in Werribee’s CBD to cheer on the 16 baton bearers selected to take part in the local leg of the relay, which started at Werribee Primary School and wove its way around Werribee’s CBD before finishing up at Chirnside Park. The baton bearers posed for photos with family and friends, high-fived school students and waved to crowds lining the street. Werribee CFA captain and MICA flight paramedic Michael Wells said he had been humbled by the once-in-a-lifetime experience. “You’re with some amazing people in the community who do so much,” he said. “I sat between a Commonwealth gold medallist and an Olympic gold medallist – it was amazing.” Former Wyndham citizen of the year Julie Toner said she was amazed by how many people had come out to show their support. She shared the sentiments of many baton bearers when she said she was happy not to have dropped the baton. “It was much heavier than I thought it would be,” she said. ■ Turn

Tip tokens phased out By Alesha Capone Wyndham council is set to reduce the number of tip tokens residents receive each year from two to one. At present, Wyndham ratepayers receive two tip tokens on their annual rates’ notice. Each token allows them to take a car full of rubbish, plus a loaded trailer, to the Werribee tip. But last week the council adopted a plan to offer a subsidised green waste service and three hard waste collections per year (instead of two) in place of the second tip token.
The changes to the council’s waste service are set to be introduced for the 2018-19 financial year. They form part of council’s Wyndham’s Waste and Litter Strategy, which aims to achieve a 90 per cent reduction in the amount of rubbish sent to landfill by 2040. The strategy also aims to “gradually phase out” tip tokens. A council report stated that in the past financial year, only 28 per cent of Wyndham residents used the tip token service, which equated to a total of 44,374 tokens being
redeemed in 12 months. Wyndham’s environment and sustainability portfolio holder, Cr Heather Marcus, said a key reason behind the changes was to make waste services more accessible to more residents, especially renters. “Currently residents can book two hard waste collections each year, while the owner of the property receives two tip tokens,” she said. “Unfortunately, landlords often fail to forward these tokens on to people renting their properties, meaning they miss out on this service.”
Cr Marcus said under the new system the council would subside a green bin service, meaning residents who opted for a green bin would pay $75 annually, as opposed to the present charge of $103.50. Another report is expected to be presented to the council before June 30 this year. It will examine additional ways to help residents dispose of their waste, such as pop-up recycling days, additional recycling services during the festive season, discounted mattress disposal months and green waste disposal promotions.

Manor Lakes station bid revisited By Charlene Macaulay A push to rename Wyndham Vale train station to Manor Lakes has re-surfaced. The debate is back on the rails following the state government’s plans to change the name of the existing North Melbourne train station to West Melbourne to better reflect its location. Three years on from Manor Lakes becoming a suburb in its own right, many believe the station should likewise be re-named. “It should have been Manor Lakes station in the first place,” Marilyn posted on the Manor
Lakes Community Facebook page last week. Manor Lakes resident Tess Mijares believes it’s important for community identity that the station, which opened in 2015 as part of the Regional Rail Link, be re-branded Manor Lakes. In August last year, Wyndham council resolved to write to Werribee MP Tim Pallas and state Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan requesting the name change. Mayor Peter Maynard said the council was told the move would be too expensive. “What do they have to change, really?” he
asked. “Everything’s electronic and they don’t have to re-print timetables until they need a new print. All they have to change is the sign on the station. “Their own naming policy dictates that it should be named after where it is.” A government spokeswoman said there were no plans to change the name, citing significant changes to “signage, printed materials and back-end systems”. Mr Pallas said a formal process, informed by naming guidelines, was undertaken when naming Wyndham Vale station.
Sweet dreams are made of cheese
But in 2014, Mr Pallas called on the then-planning minister to meet Wyndham council and the Manor Lakes Residents Association and “through that process ensure that the suburb and the new station are consistently named in accordance with the community’s wishes”. “Given the prominence and the prevalence of Manor Lakes in describing the local area … it could well be argued that calling the new train station Wyndham Vale station would cause public confusion,” Mr Pallas said in Parliament at the time.
Police no to third station
In gouda news for food lovers, the Fromage a Trois Cheese Festival will return to Werribee Park this year. The festival, to be held on Sunday, April 8, will be more than merely cheerfully cheezy – it will also feature roving performers, lawn games and live music. Wyndham tourism and major events portfolio holder John Gibbons said the festival would showcase delicious local produce in the grounds of Werribee Mansion. “Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the makers and sample artisan cheeses, craft ciders, refreshing ales and exemplary wines – all in one picturesque outdoor setting,” Cr Gibbons said. “Cheese lovers will also have the chance to learn tips and tricks from renowned cheesemongers and experts as you sample your way around the festival.” Limited early bird tickets to the festival, which cost $37.26, are available at eventbrite. com.au. The ticket price includes entry, samples and a festival glass to keep. Entry is free for children aged 14 and under when they enter with a full-paying adult. Attendees can add a Richmond Hill Café & Larder hamper to their ticket order for between $9 to $66. All pre-sold hamper purchasers will go in the draw to win one of five $50 vouchers to spend at Richmond Hill Cheese & Larder. See facebook.com/fromageatroisfestival or fromageatrois.com.au for details.
Victoria Police has confirmed there are no plans to build a third police station in Wyndham. Last month, Star Weekly reported that Police Association secretary Wayne Gatt was calling for a police station to be built in Point Cook, to keep pace with the area’s booming population. At the time, Wyndham councillor Tony Hooper said that he would like to see police stations constructed in both Point Cook and Wyndham Vale. But Wyndham Police Inspector Marty Allison said last week that Victoria Police had “no forward planning” in place to build a new police station in either location. Inspector Allison said Wyndham was recently allocated 27 new police officers and another 10 officers were assigned to the divisional Criminal Investigation Unit and Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team, which both cover the Wyndham area. “Rather than sitting at police stations, we prefer our members to be out in the community responding to crime and improving safety,” he said. In December, the state government announced plans to rebuild Werribee police station, as part of a $2 billion package to keep up with population growth. The Minister for Police Lisa Neville said the government would “always consider requests from police for new or upgraded facilities”. “But most importantly we want police out in the community responding to crime – which is what we’re delivering,” she said.

Old grandstand’s costly rebuild By Charlene Macaulay A Wyndham councillor has questioned the community value of rebuilding Chirnside Park’s heritage timber grandstand. Speaking at last week’s council meeting, councillor Josh Gilligan said he believed spending $290,000 to rebuild and relocate the old grandstand was a waste of ratepayers money – but added that the council’s hands were tied and the rebuild would go ahead as originally planned. The grandstand, which has been dismantled,
will be rebuilt as part of the $11.75 million Chirnside Park redevelopment. “I’m incredibly frustrated as a councillor to be essentially bound to the building of this thing because of a decision, in large part, of the previous term of council,� he said. “I don’t know whether residents were fully aware that it was going to cost up to $290,000 in terms of the reconstruction of this particular grandstand – $250,000 in relation to the construction and the relocation of it, and $40,000 in relation to the storage and deconstruction of this particular grandstand.
“So, $290,000 for a grandstand which has minimal usability ‌ I don’t think it’s justifiable.â€? Fellow councillor Mia Shaw, who supported Cr Gilligan’s comments, said she was concerned the grandstand would become a “museum pieceâ€? that won’t be used and enjoyed by the community. She was also concerned that the grandstand won’t be accessible by people with disabilities or mobility issues. “I hear different views in the community about the heritage value of the timber grandstand – some see heritage value, others
don’t see the building as significant, or think it should be relocated elsewhere. “The most successful heritage projects are those that both respect and retain the building’s heritage significance, but provide value for the community.� However, councillor Heather Marcus said she was looking forward to seeing the grandstand rebuilt. “I think this is so sad. We have so little heritage left in this city. “We cannot afford to lose more of our history and heritage.�

First-home estate for Tarneit By Alesha Capone A Melbourne-based developer is set to build a 900-home estate in Tarneit aimed at first-home buyers. Growland is planning the ‘Marigold’ estate on a 65-hectare site near the intersection of Derrimut and Dohertys roads. The project has been described as “premium affordable housing targeted towards first-home buyers”, to be built alongside recreational parks, water features and wetlands. The estate, which will be officially launched
in November, will be rolled out across 20 stages. Growland chief executive Ronald Chan said the company hoped the Marigold area would appeal to first-home buyers who wanted to avoid paying stamp duty (first-home buyers in Victoria are not required to pay stamp duty if they purchase a property for $600,000 or less). “Our aim is for our purchasers to end up paying $600,000 and under for their house and land package,” Mr Chan said. “The majority of owner-occupiers in Tarneit have a budget around $550,000 and this is what we work towards.
‘‘
Sydney land prices remain out of reach for - Ronald Chan many
’’
“We consulted our builder partners on design outcomes that meet both our neighbourhood aesthetics and have a reasonable cost to meet the budget of the first-home buyers. “We understand owner-occupiers’ desire to be living in a community where every other
house in the street has a level of standard, and our design guideline has been designed to achieve this.” Mr Chan said that Tarneit “represents a fantastic opportunity for buyers”. “Many buyers in Tarneit are coming from Sydney and Western Sydney due to Melbourne’s relative affordability and lifestyle, which is a trend we believe will continue as Sydney land prices remain out of reach for many,” he said. Growland also plans to build a community in Fraser Rise (in the Melton municipality) with about 430 homes.
Hoisting a ‘for sail’ sign Are you a nautical newbie, a Sunday sailor or a competitive yachtsmaster? Whatever floats your boat, yachtmaster and instructor Robert Bradley is keen to get more people out on the water and embracing the sailing life. Mr Bradley has set up a sailing school at Wyndham Harbour and is offering cheap try sailing lessons to encourage Wyndham residents to use the area more. He also offers advanced training for those wanting to reach yachtmaster level. Mr Bradley has refurbished three small yachts – Rose of Wyndham, James of Wyndham and Duck of Wyndham – he says are perfect introductions to sailing for individuals or families wanting to give sailing a try. “I think the harbour is well-placed for sailing, particularly with the wind patterns that we get in Melbourne,” he said. “I see a whole lot of people in the area – around Point Cook, Laverton and the rest of Wyndham – that
might like to take up sailing now that they’ve got a harbour in their own backyard. “Once you get out on to the water and you can turn the engine off … it’s a bug you get. It’s quite relaxing.” In 2013, Mr Bradley sailed to Japan in the Melbourne to Osaka double-handed yacht race, while at the weekend, two of his boats competed in the Sandringham Yacht Club’s Women in Sailing Challenge.

politicking. Sadly, the chamber was virtually empty. The words did not so much fall on deaf ears, as hardly any ears at all. Yet when Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten are calling each other names, the same venue is packed to the rafters. The scrutiny of politicians does become very personal, something I have no time for. Let me alert candidates in the coming election in our city that such campaigning will not be tolerated. Stick to the issues. I know we live in a global world of modern communications, but for me you can’t really represent a group of people if you don’t live in the area. That should be a given, shouldn’t it? There can be a world of difference in issues when you live 30 kilometres away from the action. Joanne Ryan’s speech came from the heart and from being a local. It’s not about knowing where every pothole is in every road – it is about relating to the people and understanding and engaging in their issues because they affect you as much they affect them. ■

New lab wins hearts
Hospital calls for new staff
By Charlene Macaulay Hearts all over Wyndham skipped a beat last week when St Vincent’s Private Hospital Werribee opened the region’s first cardiac and vascular catheter laboratory. The cath lab, which is part of the new $95 million hospital, means locals can have angiograms, angioplasty, pacemaker insertions and other procedures closer to home. The laboratory includes state-of-the-art equipment such as “intelligent control” software that minimises X-ray exposure for patients, and cardiac-monitored rooms that allow a patient’s heartbeat and rhythm to be monitored remotely. Point Cook resident Steven Carter was the first patient to be treated in the cath lab last Thursday. Mr Carter, who had a heart attack six years ago, underwent a coronary angiogram last week at the request of his specialist, Dr Robert Whitbourn. The 68-year-old said he’d previously had to travel into the city for treatment. “I’m only a matter of minutes away [from the hospital]. It’s fantastic,” he said. Dr Whitbourn, who is director of cardiology at St Vincent’s Private Hospital Melbourne and Werribee and founded Werribee Heart five years ago, said he had long been an advocate of a private hospital in Wyndham. St Vincent’s Private Werribee, which opened on January 30, includes six operating theatres, 112 beds, a day procedure unit, day oncology/ infusion centre, rehabilitation facilities and suites for radiology, pathology and consulting. The hospital offers orthopaedics, urology and general surgery and ear, nose and throat services, as well as sleep study services. From February 26, the hospital will open its maternity ward and special-care nursery.

Werribee Mercy Hospital is undertaking a recruitment drive ahead of its multi-million dollar redevelopment due for completion later this year. The hospital is searching for emergency nurses, mental health nurses and midwives, as well as people who are interested in other roles, such as in administrative and clinical fields. The positions available include casual, part-time and full-time employment opportunities. Recruitment adviser Jonelle Mais said the recruitment drive would be one of the largest the hospital has embarked on since it opened in 1994. “We encourage people living in the local area to apply for our current vacancies or register their interest for future job opportunities,” Ms Mais said. The redevelopment of the Werribee Mercy Hospital is being carried out thanks to $85 million in funding from the state government. It will deliver 64 new inpatient beds, including eight critical care beds, and six operating theatres. The new adult psychiatric unit at the hospital has also been upgraded with 54 beds within the Clare Moore building. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency has recognised Mercy Health as “an employer of choice for gender equality” for the past 11 years. Visit www.careers.mercy.com.au for more information.

Dancing to a different beat For Florence Shinanduku, dancing is a way to bring joy to herself and others. The Hoppers Crossing woman performs and teaches the traditional Congolese dance style of mutuashi at events, playgroups, community centres and aged care facilities across Melbourne. “I call mutuashi the dance of freedom,” Ms Shinanduku said. “You can do freestyle, go with the flow of the music and don’t worry too much.” Almost 10 years ago, Ms Shinanduku immigrated to Australia from the Democratic Republic of Congo. In her native country she worked as a television journalist, as a dancer and in theatres. Ms Shinanduku said she now combined her passion for education and creativity by conducting workshops for youngsters with dancing, music and crafts. “In the end I am happy that I achieve joy and see people smiling, that’s my goal,” Ms Shinanduku said. She will perform at the Lunar New Year Festival in the Point Cook Town Centre, about 7pm on February 24. She also runs Little Kookies Playgroup sessions at the Featherbrook Community Centre in Point Cook, from 9-11am on Thursdays, until March 6. See facebook. com/mutuashidance/ for information.

Werribee houses are the fastest-selling in Wyndham, with properties in the suburb on the market for an average of just over four weeks. According to the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, of Wyndham suburbs that had a minimum of 20 sales or more last year, Werribee houses remained on the market for an average of 29 days. There were 188 sales in Werribee in that time. Tarneit placed second on the REIV list with a median of 30 days on the market and 176 sales. Truganina houses were on the market for an average of 33 days (80 sales) and Hoppers Crossing 34 days (123 sales). Point Cook’s median was 59 days on the market (579 sales) and Williams Landing 95 days (38 sales). In comparison, homes in Melbourne’s entire metropolitan area remained on the market for an average of 32 days last year. Hockingstuart Point Cook director Scott Perry said that Point Cook logged a longer sales time because of the inclusion of bigger, more expensive properties in Sanctuary Lakes. Mr Perry said that most properties for sale in Sanctuary Lakes were higher-end, large homes that had a narrower client base than many other suburbs in the west. He said that according to Domain.com, his agency had sold houses in Point Cook within an average of 29 days in the past 12 months – the quickest median for “days on the market” in Point Cook of all agents. Mr Perry said he believed the housing market was going to continue booming. “I think that we are going to see the average days on the market drop across the coming months,” he said.

EDUCATION A TOP PRIORITY FOR COUNCIL
Each of Wyndham’s Councillors is responsible for a unique portfolio that guides how Council delivers a broad range of services. Over the next few months we’ll be bringing you an insight into what these portfolios are achieving and what each Councillor has planned for the future. The Learning City portfolio focusses on community education, training, youth participation and educational advocacy. Chaffey Ward Councillor, Josh Gilligan, holds this portfolio and said a lot of time and energy was being dedicated towards advocacy.

“Recently we made a formal submission to the State Budget calling for significant investment in this space.”
“We’re also spearheading the I Love Kinder campaign, putting pressure on the Federal Government to commit to ongoing funding for universal access to kindergartens.”
Cr Gilligan said Council was also working hard to improve access to local libraries.
“Ensuring that all residents have access to high quality education, regardless of their background, is a priority of this portfolio,” Cr Gilligan said.
“In the lead up to the 2018/19 Victorian Budget, we’re calling on the State Government to fund the early planning and land acquisition for seven new primary schools, one specialist school and two secondary schools.”
“I firmly believe that Wyndham families deserve more when it comes to the number of schools and kindergartens, which is why

Call to register Airbnb properties By Charlene Macaulay
Baby steps for learning bowls
(Damjan Janevski)
A Wyndham councillor is keen to establish an Airbnb register to regulate the region’s short-stay rental market. Cr Intaj Khan said a number of Wyndham property owners were turning residences into businesses and were making more money by renting out their vacant properties on Airbnb rather than the long-term private rental market. Cr Khan said while he encouraged business and tourism in the area, it was important that the market be regulated. Under his proposal, Wyndham Airbnb operators would pay the council a small annual fee and would have to comply with occupational health and safety standards. “Legally, you’re using a property for a business use,” Cr Khan said. “If you’re running a business, you have to maintain [certain] standards.” Cr Khan said it was also important for neighbourhood safety that Airbnb properties were identified, and for prospective home buyers to know the character of an area populated by a number of Airbnb properties. He said the idea was spawned following the trashing of an Airbnb house in Werribee on December 20, with four girls from Dandenong renting out the Attunga Grove property. “People should know that next door is an Airbnb property,” Cr Khan said. “A resident should have a right to know what’s going on in their street.” In Tasmania, owners can rent out up to four rooms in a home without a permit, but must register with local government if renting out larger properties. Cr Khan said he would ask Wyndham council to conduct a feasibility study into a local Airbnb register.
The Werribee Bowls Club is on a roll when it comes to getting people of all ages and abilities involved in the sport. The club is running a program called Bowling with Babies, for new and expectant mothers of all skill levels. The Bowls Victoria initiative was designed to provide mums with a chance to meet other parents, have a coffee and enjoy a gentle game of bowls in a non-competitive environment. The Bowling with Babies sessions will run on Friday, February 23 and March 2, 9 and 16, from 10.30am to noon. Each session will cost $15, including a coffee and light lunch. The Werribee Bowls Club is also running a free Girls on the Green initiative, funded by Wyndham council. The program aims to get “girls” of all ages onto the green to learn a new activity, have fun and make friends. The Girls on the Green sessions will be held on Sunday, February 25 and March 15 from 12.30 to 2pm, and Thursday, February 22 and March 1, 8 and 15 from 10.30am to 12.30pm. Bare feet or flat-soled shoes are essential, and bookings are required. See bowlsvictoria.wufoo.com/forms/ z19m1ra6173tv6j to book into Bowling with Babies, or call the Werribee Bowls Club on 9741 3229 to book into Girls on the Green.

Deputy mayors still on agenda By Alesha Capone Councillors have engaged in another fiery debate about whether Wyndham should have two deputy mayors. The issue, which was a topic of lively discussion between some of the councillors last year, again reared its head at last week’s council meeting. In December, the council conducted a 28-day community consultation, asking for residents’ views on whether the municipal local law should be amended to allow the election of up
to two deputy mayors. More than 79 per cent of the responses received by the council, 208 in total, did not support the proposal. A total of 23.23 per cent of respondants – 53 people – supported the idea. The result was released at last Tuesday’s council meeting, but some councillors said they still believe Wyndham should have up to two deputy mayors. Cr Josh Gilligan said he believed the council should “revisit” the issue once the state government had finished public consultation on its exposure draft of the Local Government
Bill – which will replace the Local Government Act – on March 23. While the council passed Cr Gilligan’s motion, some of the councillors who voted against it were scathing in their response. Cr Henry Barlow said that Wyndham’s residents had made their opinion on the issue clear through December’s survey. “If you respect the community of Wyndham, you will listen to what they’ve got to say,” he said. While the councillors discussed the proposed changes, Cr Intaj Khan also said he believed
the state government should review the salaries and allowances provided to councillors. Cr Khan said the councillors worked “really, really hard” and that their salaries should reflect this. “I would like to say, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys,” he said. Cr Khan said greater allowances would help to attract “professional, attractive people” such as doctors and lawyers to stand for council. After Cr Khan’s speech, Cr Kim McAliney quipped that she was “a qualified accountant and not a monkey”.
Everyone’s a storyteller Growing up Chinese-Australian in north Queensland, William Yang felt pressure as a child to ignore his Chinese heritage and be a dinky-di Aussie. “We were the only Chinese family in our small country town and were among an Anglo society, so although there was some acknowledgement of difference … it was expected that people assimilate into the Australian way of life, which we did,” he said. “My mother was very keen for us to be more Australian than the Australians, and so in that way my ethnicity was suppressed. It wasn’t until I was in my 30s that I claimed my Chinese heritage.” To add to the pressure, Mr Yang was also hiding his sexuality as a gay man before coming out in the ’70s. The themes of suppression, difference and diversity have been over-arching
themes throughout his 30-year career as a photographer and performer and heavily influence his upcoming show, The Story Only I Can Tell, which will feature at the Wyndham Cultural Centre on February 17. In it, the Sydney-based artist will share his life story and will encourage a small group of participants to do the same. “It’s a bit of a lottery. We’ve got five applicants, or five storytellers, but I’ve never met them and it’s always a mixed bag,” he said. “I work under the assumption that everybody’s got a story. Some are better than others and some can tell it better than others, but everybody’s got a story and I’ll try to help them tell it.” Tickets are $30-$20.

Program to keep kids at home By Alesha Capone A new program which aims to help keep children out of the foster care system will be piloted in four Melbourne municipalities, including two in the west. The state government has provided Merri Health with more than $860,000 to trial the Family Foundations program in Wyndham, Brimbank, Hume and Moreland. Merri Health will run the trial until the
end of June this year, in partnership with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and Drummond Street Services. Under the program, 90 families – which are assessed to be at an increased risk of partner conflict and violence – will be supported during pregnancy or a child’s first year. A Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman said the pilot program would be delivered in family homes, in an attempt to reduce conflict, promote parent
mental health and strengthen parenting partnerships. The Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos said the Merri Health pilot program was part of a wider government reform aimed at testing a range of evidence-based programs, to better protect children and keep them out of the child protection system. The state government has invested $6.1 million in funding to run six trial projects and two existing programs, in seven locations
across Victoria. The pilot programs have been designed to focus on issues that include family conflict resolution for new and expecting parents, emotional awareness and how to address anti-social, suicidal and violent behaviour. “We know prevention and early intervention are the most effective way of keeping kids safe which is why we’re investing in new trials that will help families provide a safe and stable home,” Ms Mikakos said.

Relay gets a right royal welcome By Charlene Macaulay Wyndham’s unsung heroes took centre stage when they carried the Queen’s Baton through the streets of Werribee yesterday. Sixteen baton bearers – many of whom had long links with local sports clubs – were selected for the significant contributions they had made within their communities. Werribee’s Lyn Tout was the first baton bearer of the day, starting the local leg of the relay at Werribee Primary School, where she was once a student, teacher and principal. She was followed by retired MFB firefighter and philanthropist Donald Brennan and cricket coach Rob Ward. Wyndham Vale CFA captain Trevor Weston proved popular among the school kids, using his turn to show the baton to Corpus Christi Primary School children lined along the school fence, then high-fiving MacKillop College students outside the school. Madison Robinson, who was part of the gold medal-winning Australia Diamonds netball team at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, took the baton for a victory lap around Soldier’s Reserve with hundreds of school children cheering her on. Victoria Point footballer Molly-Rose Parry also completed a lap around Soldier’s Reserve before heading back out on to College Road and passing the baton to athletics coach Brett Hardeman, who was cheered on by members of his Altona Little Athletics Club training squad. Next up was Seabrook’s Phil Dunstone, an Athletics Australia-level coach and long-time member of Western Athletics, followed by AM Margaret Fisk, who established the Defence Special Needs Support Group in 1993. Wyndham SES founding member and former Weerama director Gerald Greenwood brought
the baton to the Kelly Park end of Watton Street and passed it on to Werribee CFA captain and MICA flight paramedic Michael Wells. From there, it was straight down Watton Street

Wyndham’s pokies spend spikes Wyndham has experienced the largest increase in gaming machine spending in the state in a six-month period. Between July and December last year, more than $53.75 million was spent at Wyndham’s 13 electronic gaming venues, figures released by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation show. This was an increase of $2.86 million (5.62 per cent) from between July and December 2016, when Wyndham’s poker machines took in more than $50.89 million. In total, $1.372 billion was spent on Victoria’s poker machines between July and December last year, an increase of one per cent (or $13.5 million) compared to the same period in 2016. There are 839 poker machines in Wyndham, which attracted revenue of more than $97.76 million in the 2016-17 financial year. Brimbank’s poker machines took in $134.14 million, Melton’s $61.15 million, Maribyrnong’s $54.06 million and Hobsons Bay’s $46.90 million. Wyndham council launched a Responsible Gambling Strategy last year and voted to join the Alliance for Gambling Reform, which campaigns to reform the gambling industry to reduce the harm associated with gambling. Cr Josh Gilligan, who chairs the council’s gambling advocacy group, said poker machines often affected the most vulnerable people in society, with problem gambling linked to family violence, job losses and increased crime. Cr Gilligan said the new strategy would help the council take a strong stand on the “huge issue” of gambling.

Good thoughts for local pupils It’s the thought that counts – just ask Truganina South Primary School pupils Lexus, Yahiya, Boston and Stephen. They were all smiles when their school received a grant from Tarneit West Village’s Thoughts That Count grant program. As part of the initiative, which began in November last year, shoppers voted for three community organisations in the running for
shares in a $1500 grant. The school received the most votes, winning $750 from the shopping village. Hoppers Crossing Tennis Club received $450 and Williams Landing Sports Club received $300. Truganina South Primary School spokeswoman Sharon Dunne said the school was “extremely grateful” for the Thoughts That Count funding.

Roulettes flying the flag By Alesha Capone
This week we witnessed a special moment in Wyndham’s history as the Queen’s Baton Relay passed through our municipality on its way to the Gold Coast for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. On 13 March 2017, Queen Elizabeth II herself sent the baton off on a 388-day journey through all nations and territories of the Commonwealth. I, along with hundreds of other local residents, was extremely pleased to be in the Werribee City Centre to see the baton arrive at Chirnside Park for a special community celebration. It was great to see so many people of all different ages and from all different backgrounds come together to take part in this unique occasion. Events like this and the Pop Up Park in Station Place have brought out thousands of people to the heart of our great City. They are excellent reminders of everything that Wyndham has to offer and of the things that unite us all. Now the baton will continue on its way to the Gold Coast for the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony on 4 April, but we will always remember the day it spent in Wyndham. Regards, Peter Maynard

Flying a Pilatus PC-9/A, a two-seat single-engine turboprop aircraft that is used as an advanced training aircraft for the Australian Defence Force, Roulettes pilots can experience up to six times the force of gravity. The Roulettes, the Royal Australian Air Force’s formation aerobatic display team, were established in 1970 and staged their first public display at RAAF Base Point Cook in December of that year. They will perform over the base again from 1pm on Sunday. The RAAF Museum is open from 10am to 5pm Sundays. Admission to the museum is free, but donations are accepted. Photo identification is required for all visitors over the age of 16 to enter the Point Cook RAAF base and museum. Details: ww.airforce.gov.au

Ministerial visit targets growth By Charlene Macaulay Wyndham’s growth challenges were the topic of conversation recently when the assistant minister to the federal treasurer came to town.

“It was great to also have the opportunity to share stories of the incredible impact rapid population growth is having on our community.” As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, Wyndham council has called on federal funding for new Regional Rail Link stations at Black Forest Road and Davis Road; funds for the support services hub in the Wyndham Justice Precinct; and continued funding for 15 hours per week of kindergarten, among other projects.

Business Club in November, said Mr Sukkar indicated he would be happy to bring up some of Wyndham’s issues in Canberra. “My trip to that function that night certainly paid dividends,” she said. “He [Mr Sukkar] drove down here and he had a look around the main street of Werribee before the meeting so that he had a feel for the area, and we discussed certain items that are all about our challenges and opportunities, and he was extremely interested in it all.” Mr Sukkar added: “We are keen to support the growth and economic opportunities in Wyndham.”

Artist’s bold statement “More importantly, my art is making the impact I want it to make.” She said FADE won the People’s Choice award in the Wyndham Art Prize last year. “What I enjoyed about creating this piece is that it was a perfect analogy of the universal search for home,” she said. “What I am trying to achieve with pieces like FADE is to start complex conversations around cultural identity and home.” See gaffa.com.au/exhibition/chindia for details.

An artwork by Point Cook resident Anindita Banerjee has been selected to feature in an interstate exhibition. Banerjee said her piece, titled FADE, reflected on how “raising the voice of the cultural other is continuous meditative process”. FADE will be on show at the Gaffa Gallery in Sydney until February 26 as part of an exhibition called Chindia. The exhibition is being presented by Carnival of the Bold, an artist’s movement aimed at bringing social issues into the mainstream. It is part of Sydney’s Chinese New Year Festival. Chindia explores experiences of the Chinese and Indian communities in Australia, including cultural identity, politics, displacement and diaspora histories. “It is exciting to know that my work is being recognised,” Banerjee said.

Like short stories and poetry? Be sure to bookmark Words of Wyndham as a future read. The new anthology features all the winners and shortlisted entries from last year’s Words of Wyndham competition. Wyndham learning city portfolio holder Josh Gilligan said the creative writing contest attracted submissions from many talented authors. “More than 400 entries were received, not only from Wyndham but throughout Australia,” Cr Gilligan said. “From short stories and poetry to flash fiction, the Words of Wyndham competition was an incredible success and an exciting way to celebrate the importance of the written word. Not only did it help uncover some truly talented
local writers, it also helped to encourage more people to take up the craft.” The stories and poems in Words of Wyndham touch on themes ranging from suicide and family violence to online dating, Easter eggs and birds. “With the release of this anthology, the amazing shortlisted entries we received will live on and hopefully inspire future generations of writers,” Cr Gilligan said. Copies of Words of Wyndham Anthology 2017 are available to borrow from Wyndham libraries. See wyndham.vic.gov.au/wordsofwyndham for details. Alesha Capone

MY WYNDHAM Father Jude Pirotta is parish priest at St James the Apostle Parish and Catholic Church in Hoppers Crossing North. He chats with Alesha Capone. Can you tell me a bit about your parish?
What do you enjoy about your own role in the parish? I see my role as pretty much one who can listen, reflect and empower people, and do my best in building the community. As parish priest, the actual involvement of parishioners in parish life and sharing their gifts and talents, is very moving to me. Two years ago, we had young people in our community who wanted to organise a concert for another young parishioner who was living with cancer. It was a great success.
(Damjan Janevski)
When one visits St James the Apostle Parish, it is easy to see our story is about so much more than bricks and mortar. We are indeed a vibrant community of faith-filled, welcoming and caring people. As a community, we have generously welcomed people from cross-cultural backgrounds who enrich the life of our church. There are about 42 countries represented in the parish and its schools. Our schools have been involved in the Refugee Education Support Project, which targeted schools in Tarneit. At a parish level, we have a senior’s group called the Vintage Group. We also have strong youth involvement and a youth minister assigned to work with young people in the community. We have a Young Paulists group for those aged 18+, for young people after they leave the youth group. They have a missionary focus, which is: “How can we help the community?” They organise events for young people and fundraise.
What do you like most about Wyndham? What I like about the area is the diversity of cultures, the new St Vincent’s Private Hospital which has just opened up, the
extension of the Pacific Werribee shopping centre, having V/Line in Tarneit and still having the metropolitan train line at Hoppers Crossing. I also value the various programs offered in
Wyndham that are pro-active in improving and supporting our diversity. The relationship we share with the Wyndham councillors to the parish/schools is both informative and constructive.

Werribee Mercy Hospital’s new Critical Care Unit has received a welcome cash injection. Last week, the Werribee Lions Club presented Mercy Health Foundation development manager Alun Evans with a cheque for $6000 following a recent fundraising golf day. Lions president Tom Henderson said more than 80 people took part in the day, raising money for a worthy cause. “It’s the true meaning of community spirit – a community group doing something for a community project,” he said. “Each year as the president comes in, they
can choose where the money from the golf day will go. “Being a diabetic, I was originally going to donate the money towards type 2 diabetes [research]. Around the same time we got invited to help out with a fair at the Mercy Hospital, and the organiser Alun Evans explained what it was about and it changed my outlook completely.” As reported by Star Weekly, the $2 million campaign to fit-out Werribee Mercy’s Critical Care Unit has reached the halfway mark.

A report on retail shopping studies prepared for the Housing Commission has recommended that a future regional shopping centre for Werribee should be located in the vicinity of Tarneit and Heaths roads. The report further recommends that the present Werribee Central shopping area should be classified as a community centre.
A Werribee woman will spend $50,000 to fund a legal battle which she and a group of local residents will soon launch in a bid to fight proposals to set up a shooting range in Werribee. The resident, Mrs Cathie Cassar, is furious that the Werribee International Shooting Complex Incorporated’s plan for the approved shotgun range at Ballan Rd, Werribee, will lead to the use of other weapons including pistols, air rifles, full and small bore guns.
A guard could be injured or killed working at the Port Phillip Prison because of poor security, the shadow minister for corrections, Mr Haermeyer, has warned. Mr Haermeyer made the claim yesterday after reports about wide-spread drug taking by inmates at the correctional facility.
The long-running Werribee DVD case closed yesterday when the remaining three defendants were sentenced in the Melbourne Children’s Court. All three pleaded guilty to making child pornography, common law assault and procuring sexual penetration by intimidation.

Take a bite of the best of the south By Ewen McRae Blues, barbecue, and bars. No trip to America (in my view) would be complete without a stop or two in the south to experience all of these things, and the variety on offer as you cross each state line or shift from each city is an experience worth adding to your bucket list. As a part of the country with so much to offer I’m surprised more Australians don’t visit there, the South is perfectly suited to a road trip through some major cities and immersing yourself in the food and music. A good idea would be to start in Nashville, Tennessee, hire a car and make your way westwards. Nashville itself has a huge amount to offer, and not just that they play both kinds of music; country and western. I would recommend finding accommodation within walking distance of Broadway (the main restaurant and bar area in town), and from there you’re well placed to get out and explore. Near the top of the list for any trip to Nashville has to be the famous Ryman Auditorium, better known as the home of the Grand Ole Opry, and worth a tour even if you can’t see a show there. Near the Ryman is the Country Music Hall of Fame, which I enjoyed even though I’m far from a connoisseur, and if you still need a country music fix head to the Johnny Cash Museum for a closer look at the man in black. A night out in Nashville is best down along Broadway, where live music is king and the whole city comes for a good time every night. Every bar will have its own spin on live music, but for a more authentic country experience I’d recommend Robert’s Western World for a genuine honky tonk hoe down. For food, there’s any number of good
barbecue joints where you can get your fill of succulent ribs or mouth-watering brisket. I loved Peg Leg Porker, but follow your nose and you’re sure to find something to salivate over. And if you want some of Tennessee’s famous
whiskey go to Corsair Artisan Distillery for a tour and tasting session with a difference. Moving on from Nashville, a three-hour drive west will find you in Memphis; the home of blues and the birthplace of rock and roll.
A good starting point to get an overview of the town’s music legacy is to go straight to Sun Studio and do the tour there. Music luminaries such as Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King and Johnny Cash all recorded some of their breakthrough
Lunch seven days from 12pm. Dinner Friday nights in February, June & October. Live music every weekend. Group bookings welcome.

hits here, and it is also where Elvis Presley got his start and shot to worldwide fame. Once you’ve had a musical grounding you’re ready to head out to Graceland itself, for a very thorough look at the home of Elvis, as well as thousands of historical artifacts, gold records, cars, jumpsuits and guitars used by the king of rock and roll. Continuing the music theme, no trip to Memphis would be complete without a visit to iconic Beale Street to sample the blues. Much like Nashville, every bar will have live music on all night, and whether you’re looking for some chilled out blues, up tempo rock or dancing rockabilly you’ll have plenty of options. Pro tip: The Blues Hall has the most authentic blues band experience. Don’t forget to have some cash on hand to tip the bands, they play for free and rely on tips from the audience. While Memphis is a musical mecca, it’s also a significant city in the civil rights movement in America, and the National Civil Rights Museum is well worth checking out. The museum is next to the motel where Dr Martin Luther King jnr was assassinated in 1968, and covers 300 years of struggle for African Americans from slavery until today. It’s a no holds barred look at a bleak part of American history. If music and food are as big a part of your travel experience as they are for me, I’d recommend adding Austin to your itinerary. Known as the music capital of the world, and with the famous South By Southwest festival lighting up the town every year, it’s a diverse and thriving city with a wide gamut of options. Much like Nashville and Memphis, there is a concentration of music venues and bars on 6th Street, and for more of a local flavour head along Red River Street and catch a gig there.
You can’t visit Texas and not sample the barbecue on offer, and if you have the chance to go to Franklin Barbecue you will not be disappointed. Be warned, people camp out from 5am daily to sample this place, so be

FOOD REVIEW
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir gets all smokey-eyed about Texas barbecue At what passes for a dining room at Tex-Oz Smokehouse, you’ll feel gravel underfoot. You’ll sit on plastic chairs while eating at tables apparently made of something like packing case wood. You’ll eat from cardboard containers while using plastic cutlery. You’ll order from a food truck parked on an otherwise empty lot. We think all that’s absolutely grand. Tex-Oz gives Melbourne life to a great no-frills barbecue tradition that has previously gained little or no traction here. Sure, in Memphis, Virginia and Texas, barbecue of many kinds can be enjoyed in grand and/or chic and/or hipster settings – and you’ll often pay a high price for doing so. But just as important – arguably even more important – are the cheapo roadside stands and shacks found throughout the land that cater to the quick-fix needs of regular folks seeking a good feed at the right price. And, yes, Tex-Oz Smokehouse does right in the money stakes, too. Equally appropriately, the menu is compact. A CTS team of three – myself, Bennie and Nat Stockley – enjoy a very nice, post-heatwave Saturday lunch. The smoked brisket and pulled pork – sold at $6 for 100 grams and seen here in 200-gram quantities – are excellent. The brisket, in particular, shines. The meat is more tender and juicy than it photographs and almost fat-free. And it goes fine with a house-made sauce that has a bit of a spice kick.
TEX-OZ SMOKEHOUSE Address: 12 Synnot Street, Werribee The stranded pig meat is fine, too, enough to have me recanting my oft-expressed judgment that pulled pork is largely a tasteless, over-hyped con. Bennie opts for the hybrid dish that is the Tex-Oz snack pack ($16), adorned in his case with more of that pulled pork. He likes it a bunch. For sides, we get coleslaw and potato salad – big serves for $4 each. The slaw is fresh and crunchy and very rough cut, making it a little unwieldy in terms of the plastic implements we are using. The spud concoction is heavily mayo-ised and doesn’t really hit the spot with us. Nat – who also goes the pulled pork and brisket route – gets fries, which he tells me are overdone in terms of the salt. I am reminded of legendary story I was told about a very famous Texas barbecue joint at which I dined several decades ago. Apparently, when the management decided to introduce some non-meat items to the menu – white sliced bread, raw onion and pickles – the locals damn near caused a riot. So if the Tex-Oz accessories don’t quite hit the bullseye, we’re happy to say simply: So what? And in the meat sphere, this place produces the goods in an admirably no-frills manner. Tex-Oz Smokehouse is open from noon, Thursdays through to Sundays.

SALAD DAYS Salads sure have come a long way from the wilted iceberg lettuce, thick telegraph cucumber slices and anaemic sliced tomato combination of my childhood. Sometimes – if we were being really exotic – mum would chuck in a few bite-size chunks of Coon cheese and drizzle the lot with Kraft Italian dressing. But that’s about as posh as it got. If you find yourself throwing together the same old salad most days and need some inspiration, here are some tips I find useful: 1. Add some crunch: Experiment with textures. Throw in some roasted, slivered almonds or walnuts, sesame seeds, crispy prosciutto, shredded raw purple cabbage or even some Chang’s crunchy noodles to make it more substantial.
GEORGE DONIKIAN TV AND RADIO PRESENTER FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? GD: Could be better ... but I would need to practice more! FB: What is your signature dish? GD: Greek style stuffed tomatoes with mince meat in the filling like mum makes.
As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au
2. Be a smooth operator: Balance the crunch with the creamy texture of avocado chunks or some marinated Persian feta. Roasted pumpkin or sweet potato also offer a smooth texture, great colour and sweetness.
work wonderfully well in salads, adding sweetness, colour and texture. 4. ‘Leave’ it out (if you like): Salads don’t always have to have leaves in them! Get busy with your spiraliser and replace the lettuce, spinach or kale with zucchini spirals. 5. Drizzle away: One of the simplest and easiest salad dressings is a nice drizzle of olive oil. You can’t go past the range of Cobram Estate olive oils with their little pop-top bottles 6. Get creative: As they always remind us on MasterChef, we eat with our eyes. Take a good look at the vegies you plan to throw in your salad and think of artistic ways in which you can present them. Take a leaf out Grace Aldridge’s book … as you can see by the photo, 12 year-old Grace went one step further recently and turned cucumbers into the most adorable little chickens.
3. Get fruity: Peach or mango slices, mandarin segments, and apple pieces all
FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? GD: An entree of calamari, followed by a main of spaghetti marinara, as made by one-time top Sydney restaurant La Strada in Macleay Street, Potts Point. Finish with dessert, which would come in the form of a bombe Alaska. FB: What is your favourite TV food show and who is your favourite TV food person? GD: MasterChef wins hands down, and my favorite food person is Shane Delia. FB: What is your favourite food? GD: Asian cuisine is a favourite. FB: What is your favourite drink? GD: A bottle of French champagne from the House of Dom Ruinart. FB: Which 5 people would you most like to invite to dinner? GD: Elvis Presley, Winston Churchill, Catherine Deneuve, Adriana Lima and George Clooney.
As always, if you have any FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? recipes, tips or other GD: Always use fresh, quality produce. info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au

Finding the right hearing aid ...... is only half the solution
OTICON OPN Recommended for hearing in noisy environments
Marina Opacak, an audiologist who works with Cris Ivanidis, owner of Active Audiology, says hearing loss is a difficult condition to treat as many sufferers are not ready to take action, or feel confused about what to do. “Cris and I understand how difficult it can be. We’ve counselled hundreds of people through a range of emotions associated with accepting hearing loss and doing something about it. “Finding the right hearing aid is only half the solution. The other half is finding the right professional, one who puts people at ease, as well as being technically competent with fine-tuning the aid. If tuning isn’t done correctly, a hearing aid can feel uncomfortable or, even worse, be completely useless.” Marina helps many people who have been fitted at another clinic with supposedly “the best” hearing aids, only for them to leave the aid in their bedside drawer. “Makers of hearing aids will promise the latest and greatest technology, but we often see one ‘state-of-theart’ technology works beautifully for one person and not the other. Or that same aid was simply adjusted incorrectly to the client’s hearing profile. “After a 60-minute appointment, I’m able to re-tune the settings and make the aid feel comfortable and functional. Finding the right audiologist is as important as finding the right aid,” Marina says.
How is Active Audiology different to the “big” clinics? Active Audiology is an independent clinic, which these days is become rarer and rarer – just one in five clinics in Victoria is now independent. This means Cris and Marina are not tied to prescribing particular brands of hearing aids – which is what happens with corporate clinics. They use their own expertise and research to select the correct brand for their clients – and can choose from every brand on the market.
BERNAFON ZERENA Recommended for when music or TV is difficult to understand
SIGNIA NX Recommended for difficulty talking on the phone
Free hearing aid trial Active Audiology is offering a free, no-obligation 14-day trial of the hearing aids featured on this page. These are the latest technology from four international hearing aid brands. Take them home for two weeks and experience them in your daily social environment.

Discover Westbrook’s winning charm If you’re one of the savvy crowd fast switching on to the potential benefits of family life rooted in Westbrook, a vibrant estate in Wyndham’s conveniencecentral, circle Saturday, February 24, in red, writes Carole Levy. Why? Because that’s the day Westbrook’s display village – on Latitude Promenade, Truganina – officially opens. There’s so much happening on the day, especially for families with kids in tow, and it will be an ideal event for potential house and land purchasers.
A Westbrook resident says: “Our family couldn’t be happier with our new home at Westbrook, and we are very excited that we are amongst the very first residents to move in to one of Melbourne’s most sought-after estates. “We were incredibly lucky to have purchased our lot in stage 4 when we did. Cheryl and all the Westbrook sales team have been an amazing source of support and advice every step of the way, and are still there to help us now we have moved in. “What do we like most about Westbrook? Of course, the location is fantastic, right next to the Tarneit station. We love the parks and some great shopping centres. But most of all we love the sense of community, with lots of friends close by. “With a young family, Westbrook will be the perfect place for our children to grow up.” - Zahir Suleman
It’s really a three-in-one extravaganza that will run from 11am to 3pm – a jam-packed family entertainment and activities program; a chance to explore a range of innovative house designs from Victoria’s top builders; and newly released lots to purchase. Organisers have pulled out all stops to make it an exciting day out. A Chill Zone will bring the beats of extraordinary African drums and dance to the stage, while the audience can tuck into delicious treats from the Food Village. If your kids want something more active, how about a “ninja warrior obstacle course” or the Melbourne Stars’ “cricket activation”? The kids will also be queuing up for pony rides, while the littlies will love visiting the petting zoo or having their faces painted. Mums and dads can explore all the latest trends in design style and innovation among a comprehensive range of house designs from Victoria’s top builders, as well as secure a dream home in the area’s most sought-after new community. On the morning of the official opening, new lots are scheduled for public release, including an exclusive builder release. More than 900 lots have already been purchased at the 4000-lot estate, with every stage release selling out – usually within hours. Sales have exceeded all expectations – for good reason. Westbrook ticks all the boxes for purchasers looking to city fringes for community living loaded with historical charm and contemporary appeal. Westbrook is within a walk or bike ride of Tarneit train station. If you’d rather drive, head straight down Leakes Road to join the Westgate Freeway to either Melbourne CBD or Geelong. Tarneit Central shopping centre, anchored by Coles, Kmart and Aldi, is a few minutes away by car, while Werribee Pacific is about 10. Just 24 kilometres from Melbourne’s city centre, Westbrook will ultimately be home to a secondary school and community centre. With 32 kilometres of shared paths, extensive parkland and premium sport and recreation facilities also in the pipeline, an active outdoor lifestyle will be right on the doorstep. Yes … February 24 really can be your very own Red Letter Day. For details of upcoming land releases, visit Westbrook Land Sales Centre at 17 Society Boulevard (off Leakes Road), Truganina. Open 10am-5pm daily. Inquiries: 1300 303 420 or westbrookestate.com.au

If a city escape is on your mind, this cute country homestead on about 0.41 hectares is sure to tempt. It’s about 400 metres from the station, with trains arriving at Southern Cross within 50 minutes. The kids will have not only a gigantic backyard in which to run off energy plus a pool for summer fun, but also a primary school about 500 metres away. The front verandah or out back under a pergola are spots to soak up country peace. The house has three fitted bedrooms, the main with a gleaming en suite. Floating floorboards are laid throughout the house for ultimate easy-care. A large, L-shaped lounge-dining room incorporates a study area at one end, while the smart kitchen has loads of storage and bench space and the cooker is electric. Numerous ceiling fans, a split-system unit and a fireplace ensure seasonal comfort, and there’s a four-car garage.
A pleasing package for a family, this well-presented property has all the popular ingredients: two separate living areas; a pool; and subtle period references for lovers of the Federation style. A spacious lounge room, with polished floorboards and fireplace, has bifold doors to close it off from an expansive, dual-zone living hub. The kitchen has a stack of solid timber cupboards, plenty of bench space including breakfast bar, a large walk-in pantry, an underbench oven, 900mm gas cooktop and a dishwasher. Four good-sized fitted bedrooms include the main which has a walk-in robe and an en suite with period-style flourishes. A large gabled pergola connects with the fenced pool, and the pretty gardens are well established. Other features include ducted heating and cooling and a drive-through double garage.

This one is likely to have different types of buyers vying for a piece of Wyndham’s greatest capital growth suburb. Business professionals looking for main road exposure, renovators ready to carry out work for reward, and developers with plans (STCA) could be in the bidding crowd. The house, with floorboards virtually throughout, is a light and airy place where a lounge room has original double doors and a gas heater in slate surround. There’s also a split-system unit. The large kitchen-meals area is at its heart. Four big bedrooms share two bathrooms. Front gardens are established and the massive backyard has swathes of lawn and mature trees. A concrete driveway leads to a single garage.
A 15-minute walk from the train station and a five-minute drive from Watton Street’s shops, eateries and boutiques, this classic brick veneer perches on a block of about 560 square metres with subdivision potential (STCA). Three spacious bedrooms share a bright, all-white bathroom and there’s a second toilet in the laundry. The light-filled lounge room has a gas heater set in a surround, as well as an air-conditioner. The kitchen, with space for a dining table, has oodles of ’50s-style cupboards painted in pink, and an old-school side-by-side cooker. The good-sized backyard has a small storage shed and there’s a lock-up garage.

In a princely pocket that’s arranged in a square around parkland, this corner property fits right in. Its gracious setting well matches the quiet elegance of the house and gardens, while the convenience of having Pacific Werribee just five minutes’ drive down the road is invaluable. The Grange P-12 College, Cambridge Primary School and parklands are even closer. Freshly painted in soft Tuscan-inspired shades and with new carpet laid quite recently, the house has entry under a verandah to a broad foyer with a french-door closet.

Next up is carpeted lounge-dining room (nine metres long) with a tiled walkway running alongside that leads to the minor bedroom “wing”. The three fitted bedrooms (one is ideal as a study) are arranged around the gleaming main bathroom and toilet that flank an open-plan vanity. The laundry, with fold-down bench and plenty of room for ironing, is also down here. The spacious main bedroom, with walk-in robe and en suite with big mirror and enclosed toilet, is off the lounge room and positioned to catch the morning rays. The spacious family-meals zone has,
courtesy of four large windows, excellent views of the square’s parkland, while the kitchen with downlights will win the heart of the family cook. That kitchen has an abundance of pale timber-look cabinetry (including french-door corner pantry and pot drawers) and a servery/brekkie bench able to seat three or four, plus a wall oven, electric cooktop and dishwasher. Out back, a fab covered and paved alfresco area, with shadecloth-sheltered fernery at one end, is a pretty spot to sit when gathering with friends and family. The gardens are well established and a good

SPORT Bellbridge in battle to avoid the bottom Bellbridge and Footscray ANA are locked in an arm wrestle to avoid the Victorian Turf Cricket Association west A1 wooden spoon. After a day’s play, there is no clear cut leader in the game, meaning both sides have it all to play for when the game resumes at Mossfiel Reserve on Saturday. Bellbridge won the toss and batted, posting 159 off 48 stop-start overs. The Bears were in trouble on 3-8 before Matthew Edsall (40) and Adam Masterson (25) came to the rescue with a 59-run fourth wicket partnership. Wicketkeepr Danny Brosnan chipped in with a valuable 35 before Prabhjot Grewal added 33 late. It was not an intimidating total from Bellbridge by any means, but it did give
their bowlers something to defend. ANA was in deep trouble early to be 4-12. ANA steadied to finish the day on 5-83, needing 77 runs for victory with five wickets in hand. Seabrook is well placed in its top four battle with Gellibrand at Bruce Comben Reserve. Gellibrand was bowled out for just 103 and the Saints are 4-64 in reply. In north-west B1, fifth-placed Point Cook is finding top side Deer Park a tough nut to crack at John McLeod Oval. The Warriors did well to restrict Deer Park, one of the top batting line-ups in the division, to 188. But the Warriors run chase began dismally, finishing the day on 5-39, a long way from the first innings points.
Wyndhamvale has victory in its sights against West Newport at Wyndham Vale Reserve. The Falcons bowled superbly to roll Wests for 111 with Craig Duff (3-13) and Jay Dolliver (3-39) taking three wickets apiece. In reply, the Falcons are 5-96, just 16 runs shy of first innings points. In north-west A1, Werribee Centrals had a hellish day against top-of-the-ladder Westmeadows at Willowbrook Reserve. Centrals were skittled for just 50 and Westmeadows cruised to the first innings points with 8-227 declared. Centrals are showing a bit more fight in their second dig, advancing to stumps on 3-62. Lance Jenkinson
Werribee paceman Jonathan Burton finished with six wickets, including a hat-trick. (Damjan Janevski)
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ My
thoughts on women’s football could fill many pages of this paper, not just this column. I have believed from the start that the AFLW competition was rushed into existence for all the wrong reasons. Personally, I don’t care who was the driving force – the AFL, Channel Seven or whoever. We all know it is an evolving spectacle, but let me use a showbiz analogy. If I have a play or musical, I hone the script, the songs, the actors, the sets – everything. When it is good enough to warrant the media attention, the ticket price and the eyes of the world, I bring it to Broadway. There is no guarantee people will like it, but I am presenting the best possible product. The AFLW should have been developed the same way. Low-scoring, low-skill games would not then attract the same scrutiny as they currently are. The game will develop into a quality product worthy of all the attention and money. At the moment it is not. That is not the fault of the players, yet they are the ones in the firing line. Coaches are trying to win games because that is their job. They don’t get bonuses for presenting a game that looks good. I would never question the commitment of the players and their courage at times is beyond fearless. But there are many areas to address before the women’s game deserves the title of elite sport.
■ Grand
By Lance Jenkinson Could Werribee be a major player in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association north-west finals? The Tigers have largely escaped the spotlight after losing their opening four games of the season, but since round five, no team has accumulated more points. Only top-of-the-ladder Melton has matched the 33 points that Werribee has picked up since December 2. The Tigers have gone undefeated in that span – winning four, drawing two and a tie. Most would have felt that Werribee’s finals dreams were gone when they lost their opening four games, but belief has never waned in the Tiger camp. Tigers captain-coach Tim O’Brien lauded the character of his players to keep fighting it out. The Tigers were rewarded for their endeavour with a spot in the top six with two rounds to play. “I can’t fault the character of the boys,” O’Brien said. “We did the same last year, I think we needed to win the last four games to make the finals, so
I knew we definitely had it in us after what we did last year.” It was do or die for Werribee on Saturday. The Tigers have been in this position for most of the season, but the pressure has not got to them yet. Defending their 9-233 declared, Werribee managed to bowl Yarraville out for 163 at Chirnside Park on Saturday, replacing them in the top six as a result. “It was a massive result in the context of the season,” O’Brien said. “If Yarraville had beaten us, they would’ve gone two games clear of us, so us winning gets us on the same points and our percentage is fairly healthy, so we’re ahead of them at the moment.” Jonathan Burton put the finishing touches on a man of the match performance for Werribee. The new ball operator finished with 6-30 off 22.2 overs, including a jaw-dropping first day hat-trick. Spinner Michael Kelly was the key for Werribee on day two. Kelly finished with 3-49 off 18 overs – all three wickets coming at vital times, including two in one over. “He’s been real important for us,” O’Brien
said. “He came on when we really needed something, when they had put on a fair few.” Jack Budd took 1-29 off 15 overs, including the prized scalp of Yarraville captain-coach Matthew Love for 77. While Love was at the crease, the visiting Eagles were still every chance of chasing down the score. Now Werribee has gone from the hunters to the hunted, can they keep up their winning ways and wrap up a finals berth? The Tigers will need to be wary of the unpredictable Taylors Lakes, which beat them last season. The sides will meet in a two-day game at Chirnside Park starting on Saturday. Meanwhile, Hoppers Crossing refuses to be counted out of the finals race. The Cats are just three points outside the top six after a solid 60-run win away to Preston on Saturday. With only 185 runs to defend, the Cats made it look easy, rolling Preston for just 125. Abbas Faiyaz was the star with the ball for the Cats with 4-29 off 16.4, while Brett Smith took 3-28 off 13 and wicketkeeper Justin Goegan took five catches. Hoppers Crossing will host ladder-leader Melton in a huge game at Hogans Road Reserve starting on Saturday.

Burton completed a very good bowling performance, adding three more Yarraville scalps to his hat-trick to finish with figures of 22.2-10-6-30, a match-winning effort for Werribee in VSCDA north-west first XI. The win puts the Tigers in the six and Yarraville out. Congratulations to Yarraville stalwart Graham Jarry on his recent life membership of the subbies. Kevin Hillier

Basketball’s rising star sets his sights on Europe The phone calls, the emails, the advice – it’s all coming thick and fast at rising basketball star Paul Tsapatolis. Tsapatolis is a highly sought-after junior basketballer who is attracting plenty of interest from professional clubs as far away as Europe. The 15-year-old centre has plenty of offers to weigh up and is sourcing an agent to help decide his future. “I’ve had agents contacting me, but I think I’ve found one that’s right for me,” Tsapatolis said. “I’m still going through and talking to agents but I might have one soon.” It is the dream scenario for Tsapatolis. The biggest basketball clubs from Spain, Italy and Greece have invited him to try out for their teams. The offers will come for one of Australia’s top emerging talents, hence the need for an agent to go through the contracts with a fine tooth comb. Tsapatolis wants to play professionally and has little interest in going down the route of playing college basketball in the United States. “As soon as I get paid with Euroleague, I can’t

play any college,” Tsapatolis said. “I’ve always wanted to play professionally, make it a job, even though I love it. “College hasn’t interested me as much – I’ve been more into the big leagues.”
Tsapatolis recently suffered a serious foot injury, but it has not deterred the professional scouts. The high-flying Point Cook youngster suffered two fractures and torn ligaments in his foot when he stepped on a defender’s foot while dunking. But Tsapatolis is back in the Australian under-16 camp and should be fit and firing for next month’s FIBA Asia under-16 championships in China. “Even though I’ve just come back from a pretty bad injury, I feel like my basketball career is going really well,” he said. “I’ve done a few sessions with Melbourne United, had interest from EuroLeague teams, I’m going to the Australian Institute of Sport, I couldn’t be any happier.” A product of the Maribyrnong Sports Academy, Tsapatolis has set an ambitious goal of being part of the Australian Boomers set-up by 2020. “I know it’s a high expectation, but 2020 Boomers, I’m hoping to be able to go for that,” he said.
Tsapatolis could put pen to paper on a professional contract this year. The time and effort that EuroLeague clubs put into the development of their players is what appeals most to hard-working Tsapatolis. “They train six hours a day,” he said. “You can’t leave training until you make 10 straight threes in a row. “Even for the bigs, it’s heaps of dribbling work, heaps of shooting, heaps of guard work.” Having already travelled beyond the borders to play basketball with his Victorian and Australian representative teams, Tsapatolis is not worried about leaving home at a young age to pursue his dream. “I feel like I could live away from home,” he said. “At the end of the day, I’m going to be moving out of home one day anyway, even if it’s three years, so I’m more than happy to do it because it’s something I love doing and my family will always have my back.” Lance Jenkinson

Squash star dreams big By Lance Jenkinson Dylan Molinaro has secured a ticket to the big squash events at this year’s Commonwealth Games. In four years time, he wants to turn that spectator ticket into a player pass. “I’d like to make it to the Commonwealth Games as a player,” Molinaro said. Molinaro is a youngster on the up in the squash world. The immensely talented 15-year-old has taken his game to the international stage and shown that it stands up against the best. Molinaro went to the Oceania Junior Championship in Queensland as an unseeded outsider, but returned with a podium finish. The Williamstown resident knocked off the seventh and top seeds en route to a win in the under-17 boys third place play-off. “This tournament was a real step up in class,” Molinaro said. “It was an international tournament and I played against players from all over the Oceania region. I was a bit nervous when I played the higher seeds, but I was confident that I could win.” Molinaro, a member of the Kooyong squash 84 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 14, 2018
team, turned heads when he brought down top-seeded compatriot Remi Young. After easily accounting for Fiji’s Saneel Chhaganlal and taking out Australian seventh seed Joshua Penfold, Molinaro went into the clash against Young full of confidence. Having faced Young on the court previously, Molinaro knew his strengths and sought about ways to exploit his weaknesses. “I knew how he played and my coach, Terry White, sort of helped me out with it,” Molinaro said. “He knows how these guys play as well, so it was beneficial to my game.” Molinaro possesses a dangerous game of his own – and he works hard every day to keep bettering his strengths. So while the Westbourne Grammar School student is well coached and can read and react to opponents, he is also pro-active on court. “I like to play at the front of the court and use my drop shot and short game to bring them in,” he said. “You’ve got to be pretty quick, pretty fast … you’ve got to be that split second faster than them.” Molinaro’s quest for the Oceania title came to an end at the semi-final stage, losing to Malaysia’s Kerwin Teh in three games.
Molinaro admits that Teh outplayed him, but is eager for a re-match. “If I were to play him again, I’d try to control the pace, control the rallies and play my game,” he said. Molinaro, who was a runner-up at the Australian Junior Championships, is dreaming big. He is working hard in a bid for a scholarship at an ivy league school in the US and wants to turn professional. It will be another big year for Molinaro in 2018, with the goal being to win titles at the Victorian Open and the Australian Junior Championships. Of course, he will be cheering on the Australians at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, too. Molinaro is the February nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star award. The award, hosted by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club and Star Weekly Weekly, recognises young athletes from the western suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at state and or national levels. Molinaro will receive $1000 and other prizes, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club to assist him in achieving his sports goals.
Bowls
Second-placed Hoppers has blown a chance to maintain a healthy gap from the chasing pack in the Bowls Victoria division 2. Hoppers picked up three rinks against Werribee (2) at Pannam Drive on Saturday, but went down 83-80 overall to their local rivals. Billy Russell (19-14), Steve Bartlett (26-19) and KD Vanderpoel (18-14) recorded wins for Hoppers, but the Denis Hewitt rink went down 13-32 to sink the overall tally. In division 1, Werribee had a vital 78-71 win over Melton to keep hold of fourth spot. The Bees face the ultimate test against ladder leader Moonee Valley in the third-last round on Saturday at Chirnside Park.
Soccer
Werribee City will open its 2018 National Premier League Victoria 2 west campaign in a western suburbs blockbuster against Altona Magic away at Paisley Park this Saturday at 5pm. In a blow for the Bees on the eve of the season, technical director John Waddell has departed after two years with the club due to personal reasons. In other news, Hoppers Crossing came away with a 2-0 win on the road over Morwell Pegasus in a pre-season friendly on Saturday. West Point will be involved in FFA Cup qualifying this Saturday when it faces Maidstone United at Grange Reserve in Hoppers Crossing at 4pm.
