Centrelink’s Werribee branch now state’s top provider rate goes up from 5.2 to 5.7, there’s an intuitive view that it’s affecting everybody, but it’s not,” he said. “It’s highly concentrated on people in manufacturing and manual-type jobs, which are disappearing at quite a quick rate.” Werribee-based jobs service MatchWorks reported an increase in the number of people in need of more work after having hours trimmed or being transferred from permanent to casual contracts. More people have also been laid off from manufacturing and automotive industries. Josh Russo, 27, is living in Werribee South while seeking construction work in Melbourne. A certified carpenter with nine years’ experience as a labourer and bricklayer, he moved from Brisbane last month with the promise of a job but the position fell through. “I heard there was meant to be more work in Melbourne, but everyone’s saying they don’t have anything on offer.” – Nick Toscano

CENTRELINK in Werribee is providing welfare to more jobseekers than any other branch in Victoria, new figures reveal, as Wyndham’s worst unemployment crisis in years continues to bite. Labour force data shows more than 900 people in Wyndham lost their jobs in the year to March, increasing the municipality’s unemployment rate to 9 per cent, well above the national 5.7 per cent. The figures reveal a sharp rise from five years ago, when Wyndham’s unemployment rate was about 5.3 per cent. The jobs slide is also reflected in new Centrelink data showing 4150 jobseekers on Newstart or Youth Allowance at the Werribee branch in May, an increase of 160, or 4 per cent, on the previous month. Phil Lewis, of the University of Canberra’s Centre for Labour Market Research, said the western suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney were bearing the brunt of the country’s unemployment troubles. “When the national unemployment

Wyndham council did not respond to Cr Gupta’s claims, but mayor Heather Marcus said it actively lobbied for government funding to keep jobless youths engaged. She said council encouraged businesses to offer traineeships or apprenticeships. The council’s youth resources centre offers jobs mentoring and free access to phones, computers and printers to assist in job applications.

A WYNDHAM councillor claims he has been repeatedly ignored by colleagues when offering suggestions on how council could combat the city’s youth unemployment crisis. Cr Gautam Gupta said he had proposed ways the council could help reduce the area’s soaring youth unemployment rate – about four times above the national average – but his ideas “weren’t even considered”. New federal government figures reveal one in five young people between 15 and 24 in Melbourne’s

Cr Gupta believes the council must help prevent a generation of jobless youth emerging in Wyndham by either offering scholarships for school-aged independent youth or lobbying for governments to provide financial incentives to local businesses to hire young employees.

Phone snooping ‘a privacy breach’ BY NICK TOSCANO WYNDHAM council is committing an “unacceptable breach of privacy”, according to federal MPs fighting for greater restrictions against snooping on personal mobile phone use. The Greens, who have introduced a federal Senate bill that would require a warrant before any agency seized phone data, say the fact Wyndham council has exercised these invasive powers proves current laws are inadequate. As reported by the Weekly, the council seized information from residents’ phones without a warrant almost 50 times in the past three years in order to pursue people for unauthorised advertising, unregistered pets and illegal littering. Wyndham is the only Victorian council that has been spying on “metadata”, which includes users’ names, addresses and lists of their calls, text messages and emails. It also includes users’ locations at the time of transmissions but does not include text content or sound recordings. Defending the controversial practice, council’s acting chief executive, Kelly Grigsby, singled out an investigation into the owner of a dog that mauled an elderly man in July last year. The female owner of the dog had called paramedics before fleeing. “Wyndham City contacted Ambulance Victoria, requesting her phone number,’’ Ms Grigsby said. ‘‘Wyndham City made numerous attempts to contact the dog’s owner including requests that she come in and discuss the matter. On each occasion she was evasive and unco-operative.

inbrief Car thieves charged A police taskforce working in Wyndham, Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong has charged more than 280 people with thefts of and from motor vehicles in the past six months. The group has also executed 73 search warrants.

Protest target knackery Dozens of animal activists will blockade a Laverton knackery at 1pm on Saturday after the RSPCA decided not to lay charges of animal cruelty. Secret footage from the Leakes Road knackery surfaced late last year. Activists claimed it showed horses being belted and dragged while still alive, before being shot and having their necks slashed. The footage prompted Werribee Open Range Zoo to cancel its meat supply arrangements with the knackery. Saturday’s rally will protest the treatment of horses and the fact that pet horses are kept in paddocks in view of a killing floor.

Give your health a lift

“As a last resort, Wyndham City sought authorisation under the Telecommunications Intercepts and Access Act to determine her name and address and she was eventually prosecuted in court.” Greens telecommunications spokesman Scott Ludlam said agencies can access people’s metadata by “simply filling in a very basic form without requiring any judicial oversight”.

“The Greens bill would require such agencies to instead apply for a normal warrant for such activities,” Senator Ludlam said. Ms Grigsby said the council registered as an enforcement agency with the federal Attorney-General’s Department in 2010 after becoming aware it could seek authorisation to access metadata.

Residents with type 2 diabetes or other chronic health conditions are being urged to consider taking part in a new exercise program.

Classes are at Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre on Wednesdays and Fridays. Details: 9748 2555.

‘Vulnerable’ fight supported care fee hike would strip people with disabilities of disposable income and prevent them from engaging in activities they enjoyed. “They may as well open big institutions and psych hospitals and lock them up where they won’t have access to outside activities,” he said The government claimed higher fees for state-run disability accommodation would ensure Victoria was on par with other states and in line with accommodation run by the community sector. Spokesman Michael Moore said the average cost of supporting a resident was $128,000 a year. “The new fees will bring the average contribution per resident for supported accommodation to approximately $17,500 per annum,” he said. Mr Moore said residents unable to meet their basic daily living expenses could access the Department of Human Services’ hardship policy.

The changes, which the government says will save $44 million over four years and funnel more money into support packages for people waiting for accommodation, will affect as many as 2500 families statewide. Following a directions hearing last week, solicitor Viv Avery said the legal challenge urged VCAT to review the decision on the grounds it hadn’t been designed properly and that the fee hike was excessive. “We’re asking VCAT to do a merits review and tell the department to re-do the decision,” he said. “The main argument is for VCAT to look at how much is paid by residents in other services. Why would somebody pay the same amount if paint is peeling off their walls compared to a place that’s fivestar with better conditions?” Mr Avery hopes more families and advocates will come forward to fight the fee hike. Mr Lennon’s father, Stephen, said the “mean-spirited” changes

Club ditches ‘trasher’ promotion BY LAURA LITTLE POLICE have condemned a Werribee nightclub for running a promotion that rewarded young people for getting drunk, saying it made bingedrinking socially acceptable. Watton Street’s Mynt Lounge drew the attention of police and the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) last week after it was revealed it was running a promotion that encouraged patrons to post photographs on its website of themselves drunk. Some of the pictures uploaded showed people lying facedown on

the floor, while others showed people toppling over. The patron judged “trasher of the week” was given free drink cards. The Weekly believes the promotion had been running for four or five years before it was banned by the VCGLR last Tuesday. The club has since apologised, removed the photos from its website and said it did not tolerate irresponsible alcohol consumption. Wyndham Police’s Inspector Damien Christensen said such promotions taught young people that it was socially acceptable ‘‘to get absolutely plastered’’.

‘It promoted risk-taking behaviour and I don’t want that ... in Wyndham.’ “Their target audience is kids between 18 and 23 who are still in that risk category,” he said. “It promoted risk-taking behaviour and I don’t want that behaviour established in Wyndham.” Police and Wyndham’s licensed venues, including Mynt Lounge, established a liquor accord late last year in an attempt to reduce alcohol-fuelled violence and promote

Pics perfect for binge campaign

responsible drinking. Inspector Christensen said the promotion went against everything the accord was trying to achieve. “Everyone is trying to sell the message that you should consume alcohol responsibly and behave appropriately when consuming alcohol,” he said. A VCGLR spokeswoman said licensees had an obligation to ensure liquor was served responsibly. In a statement, Mynt Lounge acknowledged the promotion had sent the wrong message but said the photographs used were staged and did not feature drunk patrons.

A WERRIBEE drug and alcohol counsellor says images from a controversial nightclub promotion should be used in a campaign warning about the dangers of binge drinking. Stepping Up general manager Shelley Cross condemned the promotion. “A reward system given to the drunkest is a clear indication that Australia’s binge-drinking culture is still alive,” she said. “It would be great to see those exact images used as a warning ... that this type of behaviour is not going to happen at a local bar.” – Nick Toscano

A CLASS action may be launched on behalf of some of the state’s most vulnerable residents who are facing massive increases in the amount they have to pay to live in supported care. Werribee’s Declan Lennon, 20, is among more than 50 people being represented by Villamanta Disability Rights Legal Service at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) in an effort to overturn the state government’s controversial plan to increase board and lodging fees by 50 per cent – consuming 75 per cent of the disability support pension. Mr Lennon’s parents say their son, who has an autism spectrum disorder, will be almost $6000 in the red after one year, factoring in taxi fees to and from his week-day education program and other costs. He is unable to live at home because he is prone to violent mood swings and a risk to his parents and sisters.

‘Scary’ numbers test high schools BY NICK TOSCANO

Michael Copp

POINT Cook parents say they’re sitting on an “education time bomb” set to explode when massive numbers of children now between prep and grade 3 reach the suburb’s only senior school. Wyndham council and members of the Point Cook Action Group have reignited debate about a failure to plan for new schools running beyond year 9 in the fast-growing suburb. Point Cook, Carranballac and Alamanda colleges run from prep to year 9, with Point Cook Senior College the suburb’s only campus offering years 10-12. Worried parents have launched a letter-writing campaign to state ministers and MPs, hitting out at the “lack of foresight” in failing to plan for a new senior school. The Education Department has confirmed it is aware of continued population growth in Point Cook and is working with council, the Growth Areas Authority and developers to ensure land is set aside for future

schools. “The department is currently undertaking an assessment of senior secondary provision in the Wyndham growth area,” a spokesman said. Point Cook Action Group’s Alice Osborne said the suburb’s primary schools were at breaking point and, as the housing boom continued, “the situation will go from bad to worse”. “We can’t simply turn around in 10 years’ time and say we need to build another senior school when there has been no land set aside to do so,” the mother-of-two said. Although Point Cook Senior has space for new enrolments, principal Greg Sperling last year warned of a shortage in high school spots once a “bubble” in primary enrolments reached year 10. ‘‘What’s really scary is looking at the prep enrolments . . . in 10 years’ time capacity will be sorely tested.” Mayor Heather Marcus welcomed April’s announcement of two new primary schools at Wyndham Vale and Truganina but said the government needed to understand that education didn’t stop at year 9.

Drink-driver back on road

Simple equation: Point Cook’s Alice and Jason Osborne, with William, 5, and Lucy, 2, are calling for immediate planning to build more high schools.

A HOPPERS Crossing motorist has had her licence reinstated, more than two years after she recorded what’s believed to have been Victoria’s second-highest ever blood-alcohol concentration for a woman. The 38-year-old lost her licence in 2010 after being caught behind the wheel with a reading of .313 – more than six times the legal limit. She told Werribee Magistrates Court last week that she had abstained from alcohol for two years, but said she would previously consume “about 70” standard drinks per occasion. She had undergone a 90-day treatment program and was attending regular therapy sessions. The woman applied to have her licence reinstated last Wednesday after being off the road for two years. She was ordered to have an alcohol-interlock device installed in her car for at least six months, and put on a zeroalcohol regimen for three years. – Nick Toscano

Rules ignored in Lalor race

JASON SOUTH

Pulling out: Sandra Willis has criticised the ALP’s handling of the Lalor preselection battle.

THE Labor Party is acting like an “outlaw motorcycle club” by disregarding the rules governing preselection, says newly named ALP contender for Lalor, Brian Dunn. Mr Dunn lashed out at special dispensations given to Julia Gillard’s supported candidate, Joanne Ryan, and Williamstown resident Julie Ann Evans. Ms Ryan was given special dispensation on Saturday after failing to meet a requirement of having more than 12 months of continuous party membership. “If they really want to get fair dinkum, I’m the only one who’s followed all the rules, paid my money,” Mr Dunn said. “But all of a sudden that’s null and void.” A Werribee resident of 35 years, Mr Dunn has worked in transport and logistics and been involved in the union movement. A party member since 2004, he said he was pushing for changes to state Labor

‘I’m the only one who’s followed all the rules, paid my money ’ policies, including raising the amount pokies venues must reinvest in their communities and expanding zone one ticketing across the metropolitan transport network. “Over the years I’ve worked very hard for the community, where the others seem to come into Lalor for the ride because they know someone,” he said. The ALP was also criticised by Oz Opera manager and the daughter of former federal treasurer Ralph Willis, Sandra Willis, who withdrew her nomination on Monday because “ineligible candidates and nonfinancial members of the ALP” had been allowed to stand. “I am a passionate advocate for the area and believe I could have made a difference,” Ms Willis said. “I believe I have the appropriate credentials and experience to have

been an effective candidate and member for Lalor.” Three other nominees – Health Services Union branch manager Kimberley Kitching, diplomat Lisa Clutterham and branch member Theresa Sgambaro – have withdrawn their candidacy since Friday. Ms Kitching and Ms Clutterham have announced their support for Ms Ryan, who played a lead role in the successful 1998 campaign against a planned toxic dump in Werribee. Ms Ryan said she was standing because Ms Gillard’s replacement needed to be someone who was committed to Lalor. ‘‘That person needs to be someone who understands the grassroots level of the community and who is committed to that part of the work, and that’s me.” Candidates will spend the next two weeks vying for the support of branch members, with the preselection process involving a local ballot and voting by the party’s 100-member public office selection committee.

VCAT to rule on church plan

For health’s sake, give peas a chance

BY LAURA LITTLE

CATHY JACKSON

RESIDENTS are being encouraged to add another serve of vegetables to their meals as Wyndham council aims to reduce the city’s obesity rates. The council’s Give Peas a Chance campaign aims to provide residents with ways to add more vegetables to their daily diet, amid revelations that more than half of Wyndham adults don’t eat enough fresh vegetables. The state government’s 2012 Victorian Population Health Survey revealed 57 per cent of men and 52 per cent of women in Wyndham did not eat two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables each day. The vegetable consumption rate for children aged between four and 12 was also below the state average. Give Peas a Chance is one of many campaigns being funded as part of a state government push to reduce obesity and illness in 14 municipalities through its five-year Healthy Communities initiative. Councillor Adele Hegedich (pictured with daughter Antoinette) will launch Give Peas a Chance at the Point Cook Community Learning Centre this Saturday at 11am.

“Children learn their eating habits from their parents and meals packed with vegetables give children all-important vitamins and minerals to help them learn, grow, play and

sleep,” Cr Hegedich said. As part of the campaign, a pop-up kitchen will appear at locations in Point Cook, providing healthy snacks and cooking tips.

RESIDENTS opposing the development of a church for 800 people in a quiet Werribee street hope precedence will encourage the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to reverse Wyndham council’s decision to give the building the green light. In May, the council approved a planning permit for the Werribee Gospel Trust church by five votes to four and imposed 49 conditions before construction could begin. The permit allows the Plymouth Brethren church to build its sixth worship hall in Wyndham on a 1.2-hectare site on Duncans Road near Filmont Drive, despite 81 objections. The residents have since appealed to VCAT. Spokesman Paul Yankos said residents hoped VCAT’s decision to knock back the trust’s 2009

application for a worship hall in Manor Lakes would work in their favour. VCAT ruled the church could not be built in the area because the council had a policy of not allowing buildings for non-residential uses in residential zones. Mr Yankos said residents did not object to the development because it was a church, but because of the impact it would have on surrounding streets. He said the conditions imposed by the council did not address concerns about traffic and noise. Church spokesman Tony Cook said the group had tried to address residents’ concerns but they had a right to appeal the decision. The council’s acting chief executive Kelly Grigsby said the decision to grant the permit followed a detailed assessment of the application over several months.

Data proves we need more trains BY LAURA LITTLE

Scott McNaughton

Peachy keen about gardening Budding green thumbs are being urged to sharpen their pruning shears and head to Werribee Park for tips on growing fruit trees. Werribee Heritage Orchard is holding a grafting day on Sunday from 10am-2pm to teach residents about growing fruit trees in their own garden. Orchard committee members including Scott Hitchins and Craig Castree (pictured) will lead grafting demonstrations and orchard tours. There will also be fruit trees for sale. The orchard dates back to the 1870s and is renowned for its peaches, grapes, apples, quinces, pears, plums, walnuts and olives. Details: werribeeparkheritageorchard.org.au.

LOBBYISTS are calling for extra train services on the Werribee line after new data revealed passenger numbers at the line’s two Wyndham stations increased more than 15 per cent between July 2008 and June 2012. Patronage at many Melbourne stations fell over the same period, with Altona station’s passenger numbers decreasing 31 per cent (from 409,000 to 282,000). Public Transport Victoria data shows close to 1.1 million passengers used Werribee station between July 2011 and June 2012, a 17 per cent increase from 2008-09 when the station was used by 907,000 people. Hoppers Crossing also recorded a 17 per cent increase with passenger levels increasing from 1.1 million in 2008-09 to 1.3 million in 2011-12. Wyndham Transport Advisory Committee chairman John

Menegazzo said the group would advocate for more trains to be put into the system. “Public Transport Victoria will say more trains can’t be added until the Regional Rail Link comes on board, but that is still two to three years away and doesn’t mean we can’t keep pushing for [more trains].” Mr Menegazzo said there was also a case for new stations to be built in the municipality, including the proposed Derrimut Road station which will eventually be part of the Werribee Employment Precinct. A PTV spokeswoman said more services could run on the Werribee line once the Regional Rail Link was complete. ‘‘RRL will remove bottlenecks between Metro and V/Line trains by providing separate tracks through to the city, creating the extra capacity needed to boost the number of services on the Werribee line.”

Class act: Stephen Morgan at the proposed autism-specific school site.

AN Altona Meadows father planning a private autism-specific secondary school in Melbourne’s west has secured a potential campus site in Werribee. Stephen Morgan has been offered the lease on vacant land owned by Werribee Baptist Church at the corner of Heaths and Derrimut roads. More than 200 families have expressed interest in enrolling at Mr Morgan’s Private Autism Special School (PASS), which would be registered for 50 children. His son Corey, who has severe autism, would be one of the students enrolled. “If the state government signs up to Gonski, then we’ll be proceeding immediately,” Mr Morgan said. “We’ve got until September to lodge our registration application. We’re in ongoing discussions with Independent Schools of Victoria, who

are the peak body for private schools, and we have the teachers.’’ Mr Morgan said Corey had flourished under the Innovative Developments in the Education of Children with Autism (IDEA) program at Fawkner’s Moomba Park Primary School. The program was piloted in 2010 and teaches children with autism in a mainstream school setting. But Corey has only three years of primary school left. Mr Morgan was last year named annecto carer of the year, which recognised him for negotiating to find a suitable school site, founding Melbourne’s first special needs swim school and opening a respite centre at Werribee. Western suburbs Liberal MP Bernie Finn confirmed rumours that the IDEA program could be introduced at a prep-year 12 government school being built at Laverton, the first stage of which would open mid-2014.

Drugs fuelled hygiene heist BY NICK TOSCANO

MARK SMITH

Library kiosks are cool for kids Young Wyndham residents such as Zoe, 6 (pictured), can brush up on their maths and literacy skills at the city’s libraries. The council has installed interactive kiosks at the plaza, Point Cook, Wyndham Vale and Werribee libraries. The online kiosks feature more than 120 digital games for children aged between three and six, teaching them about numbers, shapes, letters and spelling. More details: wyndham.vic.gov.au/libraries.

A MAN has been convicted of stealing more than $3300 of hygiene products from supermarkets in Wyndham and Melton to fund a drug addiction. Police told Werribee Magistrates Court that Hong Ngoc Nguyen, 29, of Derrimut, was charged after being caught shoplifting from supermarkets during a two-month period last year. Police said they also found four kilograms of amphetamines, two kilograms of heroin and various other illicit drugs when they scoured his car for stolen goods. The court was told last Wednesday that Nguyen and a co-offender had first targeted a supermarket at Werribee Plaza, where Nguyen packed pockets in his pants and jacket with personal hygiene products. The pair drove to another supermarket, on Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing where Nguyen

stole more items. He was observed by a security guard before police arrived and arrested him while he was walking back to the car. Police found almost 100 packs of hygiene products valued at $1859 stolen from the first supermarket, and $853 worth of products stolen from the second. Two months later, a security guard in Caroline Springs caught Nguyen with 63 hygiene products, valued at $613, concealed in his jacket after robbing a supermarket. He was taken to Caroline Springs police station where he made full admissions. Nguyen’s defence counsel said the robberies had taken place “in the context of a drug addiction”. Magistrate John Bentley sentenced him to three months’ jail, suspended for 12 months. “If you commit another offence punishable by a term of imprisonment in the next year, you will find yourself in jail,” he said.

Zoning changes a business boon BY LAURA LITTLE

supplied

Research launch: Dairy Australia CEO Ian Halliday, Dairy Innovation Australia CEO Lesley MacLeod, Peter Boyden, and parliamentary secretary for agriculture, fisheries and forestry Sid Sidebottom celebrate the centre’s expansion.

Bigger, better future for dairy centre A NATIONAL research centre in Werribee has been expanded to provide its member companies with more space to discover new processing techniques and dairy products. Opened in 2007, the Dairy Innovation Australia Centre on the Princes Highway involves companies

including Bega and MurrayGoulburn, which account for 70 per cent of Australia’s milk production. Their investment in the centre funds research into dairy manufacturing. Chairman Peter Boyden said the expansion, which was unveiled on Monday, includes laboratories, a

manufacturing pilot plant and culture production. “Our expanded site will enable us to provide knowledge, capability and critical services to the industry and create opportunities to assist member companies achieve growth in markets in Australia and overseas,” he said. — Laura Little

WYNDHAM council says changes to Victoria’s planning zones will allow more businesses to call the municipality home. The reforms, announced by Planning Minister Matthew Guy earlier this month, have been welcomed by the council. Mr Guy said changes to the industrial zone would open up new areas for small supermarkets up to 1800 square metres and associated shops totalling 500 square metres. Council’s sustainable development director, Dean Rochfort, said the changes would boost Wyndham’s industrial base. “Changes to the industrial zone will allow for a broader range of businesses,’’ he said. ‘‘The changes also allow for the provision of improved services for businesses in these zones.”

But Mr Rochfort said activity centre changes meant the council could not ensure residents were serviced by a range of goods and services in commercial centres. Under the reforms, five business zones will be replaced by two commercial areas. Mr Guy said floor space caps for offices and shops would be removed to provide new opportunities for business growth. Changes have also been made to residential zones, with three new categories: neighbourhood residential growth and general residential. Mr Guy said the new zones would limit residential “densification” to defined areas and away from quiet neighbourhood streets. Mr Rochfort said the zones would provide council, developers and the community with a greater level of certainty about the type of developments that can occur in residential areas.

Drunk ‘dodgem’ driver fined

A SEABROOK drink-driver’s car crashed into parked vehicles, two fences and a house “like a dodgem car”, narrowly avoiding killing a man, a court has heard. Anthony Tennyson, 62, was almost four times over the legal limit when he veered off the bitumen earlier this year while driving through a quiet Laverton street. Police said that instead of applying the brakes as he drove through the intersection of Thomas and Armstrong streets in Laverton, he hit the accelerator. Last Wednesday, Werribee Magistrates Court heard Tennyson ploughed through the steel fence of a residential house and into a verandah, causing part of the paving to break. The front of his car narrowly missed a man sitting on the verandah, police told the court.

Police escorted Tennyson to Williamstown station for questioning, where he admitted to drinking six stubbies of beer between midday and 6.45pm. He returned a blood-alcohol reading of .189. Defence lawyer Brett O’Sullivan said Tennyson had been drinking beer at a friend’s house earlier in the day before making a “foolish” decision to drive home. He was now undergoing voluntary therapy at a Werribee-based alcohol and drug treatment service, Mr O’Sullivan said. Magistrate John Bentley described the ricocheting smashes as being like “dodgem car”. “He was very, very lucky not to have killed himself or someone else,” he said. Mr Bentley suspended Tennyson’s licence for two years, and imposed another three months for careless driving. He was also fined $850.

NEWS INBRIEF Cash links migrants to sport Werribee Football Club will use a $50,000 federal grant to link young migrants with sport in a bid to foster new friendships and a sense of belonging. Multicultural Affairs Minister Kate Lundy, who provided the money through the Wyndham Sporting Opportunities Project, said sport was a “powerful unifier”.

Speeding tickets add up Time to go: Goat farmer Talan Atar rounds up goats at Brooklyn.

It had to be herd to be believed

Cell space at office A small office has been built on the platform at Werribee railway station to provide protective service officers with space to hold troublemakers until they can be transferred to a police station. PSOs will be able to hold someone in the building’s cell until a van or transit unit is able to pick them up.

NO kidding, it was a sight to behold. About 60 feral goats were rounded up on Sunday along the banks of the Kororoit Creek at Brooklyn. The wild herd is believed to have originated from four goats which possibly escaped from a nearby abattoir or paddock. The herd grew to about 80, eating their way through trees along the

creek and intimidating cyclists and pedestrians on the Federation Trail. Melbourne Water engaged a contractor who managed to round up about 20 of the animals. But some slipped through the net, and with National Tree Day approaching, Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek president Geoff Mitchelmore wasn’t taking any chances.

On July 28, his group will plant about 1500 trees and shrubs – and not for the goats’ consumption. So Mr Mitchelmore enlisted a helping hand all the way from Tallarook in central Victoria. “We got a chap from up bush – he’s a goat farmer,” Mr Mitchelmore said. “They came down on Sunday and

rounded them up with a dog and loaded them up in a trailer.” People are invited to join the ‘‘friends’’ in revegetating the creek corridor from 10am on July 28. The meeting point is Clelland Road in Altona North, with a free barbecue. — Goya Dmytryshchak More details: folkc.com.au.

Zaynab Sheriffdeen’s research into honey’s healing properties has the world watching, writes Laura Little

teenage science prodigy is making a name for herself in the world of medical research after offering further proof that honey helps kill a deadly superbug. Suzanne Cory High School year 9 student Zaynab Sheriffdeen began researching the effect of honey on antibiotic-resistant bacteria MRSA after watching an episode about the superbug on SBS TV’s Insight. The program mentioned that initial research had found that honey could help patients get rid of the bacteria. Zaynab, 14, decided to do further research into the healing properties of honey and enter her findings into Google’s annual science fair. The competition is for budding scientists around the world who are under 18. Zaynab was one of 90 regional finalists. “I read that manuka honey has the highest antibacterial properties so I tried it out,” she says. “I was surprised to find it worked.” To prove her theory, Zaynab was given access to an MRSA patient who had been given antibiotics but had not improved. She applied manuka honey to the patient’s wound and in two days the swelling had gone. Zaynab later found that combining the honey with antibiotics sped the healing process up. While she wasn’t among the 15 finalists who will travel to America later this year, Zaynab says she will enter the contest again next year.

Re: Love conquers all (Inside Story, Weekly, July 10):

Well done to the Weekly for publishing a well-written and relevant story on the issue of gay marriage. I concur completely with the sentiments that our society must grow up and be fair. Also well done to Uniting Church’s Reverend Samasoni Nafatali for his willingness to express his own views. I totally agree with them: “They have the right to live life to the full.” Alaine Beek, Werribee Marriage is inherently a union between a husband and wife. That’s the core of the institution and the natural core for family creation and role models for children. Gay unions are not the same, and thus they should have their own specific domestic unions, but it can’t be ‘marriage’. Mary G (via web) Re: TAFE plan has ‘failed miserably’ (Weekly, July 10):

I want to reply to the untruths being bandied about by Footscray MP Marsha Thomson and place on the record some facts about vocational training in Victoria.

Last year, the Coalition government provided a record $1.2 billion per year to fund training in Victoria – $400 million more per year than under Labor’s watch. In 2010, there were 28,900 enrolments in government-funded training in the western metro area. Now there are 52,900, an 83 per cent increase. Ms Thomson should keep in mind that TAFE enrolments in western metro actually grew by 9 per cent in 2012. Her allegation that there are fewer enrolments in courses of greatest public and economic importance is simply incorrect. Victorians are now also getting better value for our record investment.

In the first three months of 2013 there were 3500 more enrolments in specialised or in-shortage occupations, up 4 per cent compared to this time last year. This is more training in courses for occupations such as child caring, aged and disabled caring, mothercraft nursing and motor mechanics. There are more training opportunities available for those who need it most. Vocational training continues to be an important pathway to employment in Victoria, with 1000 extra unemployed students engaged in government subsided training so far in 2013 compared to this time last year. Outcomes like these should be welcomed by people of all political persuasions. Higher Education and Skills Minister Peter Hall Re: Lalor ALP clash looms as school head steps up (Weekly, July 10):·

It’s simple. If Joanne Ryan, a school principal and resident of Werribee, is picked by the Labor Party, I will vote for her. If the party picks someone from the Health Services Union, I will turn my vote elsewhere. Guest (via web)

Re: New life breathed into Werribee River (Inside Story, Weekly, July 3):

Great article. Keep up the good work. The river is worth saving and protecting. It’s a great spot. Beverly Goldsmith (via web) Re: Point Cook West land sale a boon and burden (Weekly, July 3):

The state government is sinking in debt trying to keep abreast of infrastructure! It’s easy to spin words that the government “knew it had to put infrastructure in place to alleviate some of Wyndham’s problems”. But when? A housing/real-estatedependant economy means being bogged down by the cost of population growth, estimated at about $200,000 per person. Planning Minister Guy is obsessed with new developments and high-rises but leaves the public to absorb the costs. VivKay (via web) The Weekly welcomes letters no longer than 200 words.

A dean of diversity Veterinary professor enjoyed a rich life, writes Laura Little

Quality with a differnce

Douglas Charles Blood April 24, 1920 - June 6, 2013

rofessor Douglas Blood, the founding dean of Melbourne University’s Werribee veterinary school, is remembered by his family as a man with “a never-ending project” and a master of all trades. He was always working on something, whether it be a new book, teaching his students or roaming the Western Treatment Plant photographing birds. Professor Blood, who died on June 6 aged 93, was named dean of the veterinary school in 1962 and presided over the first intake of students the following year. In 1981, he was admitted to the Order of the British Empire for his services to veterinary medicine. He retired from teaching four years later, after 23 years as a professor. Born in England, Professor Blood moved with his parents, Daniel and Florence, from London to New South Wales as a six-year-old. He attended Hurlstone Agricultural High School and gained an agricultural cadet scholarship to Sydney University, graduating

in 1942 with a bachelor of veterinary science. During World War II, Professor Blood worked in northern Australia, moving horses through remote areas and inspecting meat abattoirs. In 1945, he became a lecturer at Sydney University, teaching large-animal medicine. It was at Sydney University that he met his wife, Marian. From 1949-62, he was based at Cornell University in the US state of New York and Canada’s Guelph University in the province of Ontario. He wrote the first edition of his textbook Veterinary Medicine with Dr Jim Henderson. The book is now in its 10th edition.

Spice up your life Versatile living is a breeze in this practical house, writes Mark Bunker

his is a property with twin attractions: a huge outdoor space for entertainment and relaxation, and practical zoning of formal and casual living spaces that allows families to spread out during downtime. It’s a sure bet both first-time buyers and downsizers will value the practical elements that set this property apart, including its scope for privacy and convenient location. Three light-filled bedrooms all have timber venetians. The main bedroom at the front has double doors, en suite and walk-in wardrobe,

while two bedrooms at the back have built-in wardrobes and flank a bathroom with contemporary tapware. A soft-toned wall characterises the open dining and lounge rooms, and is accentuated by lighter coloured cornices and skirtings. Each of these living spaces has large lockable slider windows. The kitchen is integrated with an openplan family-meals hub, and has a wall oven and four gas elements. An island bench has a Whirlpool dishwasher and double sink,

and there’s plenty of overhead timber-veneer cabinetry. Expansive windows border the familymeals, living and dining domains; the former is carpeted while the latter has glossy floor tiles. The wrap-around pergola with Colorbond roof is accessed via sliding doors. It covers a side yard with drive-through access and raised garden beds with fruit trees. The other side yard is narrower, and paved. The east-facing house is handy to the Werribee River, Plaza and reserves.

INSIDESTORY

Mother’s

Even unconditional love is challenged when children’s drug addictions take over their lives. Ben Cameron meets a group of women who are finding out that sometimes love means letting go.

t’s four days after Mother’s Day on a chilly Thursday night in Darley, and four women have come together in a nondescript council building to talk about their children’s drug addiction, and their own emotional and physical retreat. New support group Family Drug Help has been running for a few weeks before the Weekly is invited to hear the stories of this emotionally battered, but not broken, quartet. It’s already proven to be a major breakthrough for these self-confessed “addictees”, providing the first real opportunity to share their experiences with people who truly understand their daily battles. The group is moderated by ‘Amber’ from Bacchus Marsh. A recovering addict and mother, she proudly announces that, from two days ago, she’s been clean for 11 years. “I should have baked a cake,” one of the women quips, as this already-tight group breaks into laughter then applause. None of these women would be here without Amber’s initial bravery. A few months ago, she outed herself to more than 200 people at a community meeting about ice addiction. She opened up her soul about how drugs can turn friends into enemies, family into foe. The group was eventually pulled together by Bacchus Marsh police youth resource officer Jim Ross, following requests from parents to do “something for us”. Tonight’s theme is “Detaching from Love” – a method for dealing with the madness, where family members step back emotionally from the chaos that so often accompanies drug abuse. It’s

day

a way to reduce an addict’s power to hurt and manipulate those closest to them.

While each mother is at different stages of the process, ‘Joyce’ from Bacchus Marsh appears, on face value, the closest to a grim end. For seven years her son has been so addicted to “anything he can get his hands on”, death appears the only choice left. “I’m at the end of my journey of staying with him ... if he dies, he dies, I can’t stop it. You just want it to end,” she says. “You think they will be better off, if he’s in such a bad place. I don’t have any magic answers ... maybe I’m looking for a miracle, and there isn’t one. “I don’t know if you come to terms with it at all. I just think that you get to the stage where at some point you have tried everything that you possibly can. Every single thing.” Every single thing includes filming her son while in the throes of one of many drug binges. “I can’t believe I was like that,” her son had confessed through tears days later, as he watched himself convulse and eventually black out. But the plan didn’t work. ‘James’ has overdosed so many times – at least four times in the family home over the past six months – that Joyce has become numb to it all. “You have to face it [their possible death], if you like it or not. You have to face that they could die,” says mother of five ‘Sarah’ from Melton, who attends not because of her children, but her husband. While she’s physically detached from him – he’s in Tasmania right now “trying to get off” – she’s yet to cut the emotional ties. His taste

for drugs began with speed before it developed into a full-on ice addiction. Then came the “cycle of violence”, the paranoia, the psychosis and eventually the intervention order. “There have been times I wished he was dead, how terrible is that? I love my husband with everything I have, but to get to that point, that’s the devastation of drugs. It’s like we’re addictees. They’re addicts, we’re addictees.” Luckily, the group has allowed ‘Sarah’ to put more time into herself. “I feel like I’m loving myself more these days,” she says. “We still hope for our future, but how long do I wait?” For ‘Donna’ of Bacchus Marsh, mother of two ice addicts aged 17 and 19, the waiting game takes place on a weekly basis. “By the end of every weekend you wonder, Are they still going to be alive? Every weekend I know they’re doing all these things to themselves. I didn’t see either of them on Mother’s Day, which was a good thing. “Every weekend, [I think] is it going to be this weekend? Are they still going to be here on Monday? I don’t know if I’m happy, sad, anything. I just want it to be over, really. I’m just tired of the merry-go-round. And I can’t get myself off.” ‘Sandra’, mother of a 23-year-old ice addict, is exhausted. Tired of the emotional extremes and the knowledge that even when she does find rare moments of calm, it’s merely a prelude to the inevitable “explosion”. “They would climb Mt Everest to get it [ice],” the Myrniong resident says. “The addiction is so great.” The “chaos business” as she calls it, has been so encompassing, she can’t recall why she kicked her son out of home in the first place. “[He’s been on drugs] for years, I don’t know how long, probably for six years I’m guessing,” she says. “We slept for a week and a half in the passage way to keep him in his room; it was horrendous. He doesn’t live with us now. We had an intervention order because he was going

“I’m at the end of my journey of staying with him ... if he dies, he dies, I can’t stop it.” to burn the house down at one stage. He was supposed to come on Mother’s Day for lunch. He worked with my husband on Friday ... haven’t seen him since.”

It’s only as the conversation begins to flow over coffee, laughter and an endless supply of mints (if these women have a vice of their own, it’s definitely sugar) that Sandra suddenly remembers why he had to leave: he threatened to stab his sister. No wonder her thoughts often stray into some very dark places. “I thought of death, I thought it would be good one time because you’d be at peace, and that’s sad, isn’t it? “At one stage I thought, I don’t like him any more. I thought that’s a bit cruel, a mother who doesn’t like their own child. They just grind you down that much. It sounds selfish, but then you’ve got peace, it becomes so consuming.” While there’s still a long road ahead for each of these women, they’re walking it more strongly than ever before, thanks to the group. “We’re all detaching,” Joyce announces proudly. “We do care, but we’re able to keep a distance.” For Sarah, having the group’s support has changed her life. “It helps us be set free, to hold our heads up and get some purpose back into our lives and some direction. Who would have thought we’d need a journey to recovery?” To contact the group, phone Jim Ross on 5366 4500 JULY 17, 2013 \ WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE 21

s with most of these wildlife documentaries, the real joy in this British production is not looking at cute animals, but rather looking for ourselves. The human fascination with the penguin can be explained, at least partly, by their shared existence. Penguins may not, as is commonly thought, pair for life, but the even-handed way they deal with childrearing is endearing. As with March of the Penguins before it, the narration (by David Attenborough) plasters human emotions all over these big birds. We follow a four-yearold king penguin returning to his colony on South Georgia island, where he tries to find a girlfriend, falls in love, has a child, and then struggles with parenthood. Part Milo and Otis, part Happy Feet and part serious doco, this is primarily a kids’ film. While adults might resent the manipulative storytelling, their offspring will enjoy scenes familiar from Pixar et al – there’s comedy as our hero washes up on a beach populated by elephant walruses, romance as he flirts with his future mate, and tension as a murderous petrel stalks the penguin crèche. Less palatable to the youngsters are the moments when reality intrudes. A brief interlude of penguin porn is one thing, but the butchering of young chicks is the sort of thing kiddies won’t see in Happy Feet 2. Nevertheless, this is beautifully filmed.

Go bush for good wine Ben Thomas explores the gnarly world of bush vine wine

here’s a romance to wine that sets it apart from beer and spirits. Wine lets us taste the actual fruits of someone’s labour – down to a single row or block of vines in some cases. While other boozy beverages certainly have merit as drinks to share with friends, they are generally made from ingredients that can originate from just about anywhere in the world. When it comes to vineyards, there’s no greater sight than hundreds of squat bush vines in the early spring – the gnarled form looking more like something from a spooky horror movie than a fruiting plant. With this picture in mind, I get great pleasure drinking wines made from grapes grown on bush vines. Australia is home to some fantastically old bush vines, dating back a century and, in

some cases, more than 150 years. Sadly, new bush vine plantings are a rare phenomenon. They take longer to bear fruit than trellised vines, something that doesn’t please accountants or bank managers who are eager for a speedy investment return. One man who has bucked the trend and recently planted a vineyard with bush vines is Abel Gibson, of Ruggabellus wines in the Barossa Valley. While he waits for his own vineyard to come online, Gibson sources his grenache and mataro grapes from existing bush vines. It will take around five-and-a-half years before his finger-thick cuttings grow strong enough to support the weight of their leaves, canes and berries, and then he’s in for a backbreaking time to nurture and manage the vines. “The fruit’s closer to the ground; harvesting

has to be done by hand – they can’t be machine harvested – and they have to be hand-pruned,” Gibson says. “The benefit of being closer to the ground is that the soil retains heat and there’s this lovely ongoing ripening into the evening. “Grenache and mataro get a beautiful balance of dappled light and the leaves get a better amount of sun because they can track with the sun. The leaves are the motor of the vine that helps channel the good stuff into the berries. “I feel you get good flavour ripening [as opposed to sugar ripening] with bush vines.” This extra flavour that Gibson looks for in bush vines does come at a compromise – he’ll be producing smaller crops. Gibson explains that not all grape varieties are suited to bush vines. “Shiraz doesn’t work as a bush vine. It’s a vine with a droopy nature – the canes are longer and they droop – whereas grenache and mourvedre have a distinct upright nature and they’re suited to bush vines.” To read more reviews, visit theweeklyreview.com.au/wine

Love a bargain? Elefante Garnacha 2011 (Castilla La Mancha, Spain) $13.99; 14% Half of Spain’s vineyards are located on the high plains of Castilla La Mancha in central Spain. This bush vine grenache has 7 per cent shiraz blended into it. Full of character, this smells great. Intense raspberry, cherry, plum and earth characters are given a lift by liquorice and spice, and are ripe but not sweet. Neatly structured with vibrant acid and grippy tannins, there’s a refreshing wash of raspberry and cranberry over the finish. Food match: Rabbit paella

Planning and Environment Act 1987 Truganina Precinct Structure Plan: Planning Scheme Amendment C175 to the Wyndham Planning Scheme The Growth Areas Authority (GAA) has prepared Amendment C175 to the Wyndham Planning Scheme. In accordance with section 9(1) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, the Minister for Planning has authorised the Growth Areas Authority to prepare the Amendment. Amendment C175 relates to the future urban development of the Truganina precinct. Approximately 1,088 hectares of land situated north of Werribee is affected by the amendment. This area is generally defined by Leakes Road to the south, Derrimut Road to the west, Boundary Road to the north and Dohertys Creek to the east. The plan envisions a new urban structure to support approximately 9,400 housing lots, a major town centre, two local town centres, a new train station and potential additional train station on the Regional Rail Link, local parks, sports reserves, road and servicing infrastructure. The plan includes creation of major retail and employment opportunities associated with the Tarneit Major Town Centre, and an employment precinct along Boundary Road for office, light industrial and commercial businesses. Amendment C175 includes five planning permits for subdivision of land to be considered concurrently with the planning scheme amendment, via Section 96A of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

Life’s little luxury

New look sets Lexus apart from its rivals, writes Ron Hammerton

he new Lexus GS came perilously close to being stillborn, a near-victim of Toyota president Akio Toyoda’s quest to breathe excitement into the Japanese giant’s luxury brand best known for its supreme quality, high levels of equipment and not much else. Toyoda-san – a descendent of the company founder and a card-carrying race driver – felt the previous three generations of Lexus’ rearwheel-drive rival for the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class were a yawn. But enthusiasts in the Lexus product planning team convinced him to give it one last try. Rather than radical surgery, the engineers kept the overall concept but revisited every component, primping and refining the whole. The goal was to deliver a more satisfying driving experience, with better fuel economy and comfort to boot. As well, the GS benefited from the new Lexus look, with a sharper, more macho grille, that instantly lifted the GS from the norm and set it apart from German rivals. Here, the latest Lexus GS is available in three

petrol V6 models, 250, 350 and 450h, with the latter getting additional oomph from a twinmotor electric hybrid powertrain. One of the biggest surprises with the new Lexus GS 450h was that it came with no more power than the previous generation (254kW), despite major changes to the 3.5-litre V6 engine – dual fuel injection, for example. However, a revised hybrid powertrain with a new and more efficient continuously variable transmission helped to trim the 0-100km/h sprint time to a handy 5.9 seconds This is in the same ballpark as the BMW hybrid, but a fraction slower than the fastest diesel 5 Series. On the all-important fuel economy readings, the Lexus appears to tick the boxes, with an official combined fuel consumption result of 6.3 litres per 100 kilometres, compared with the hybrid BMW’s 6.8L/100km. However, diesel rivals can pip those, coming in at 5.6L/100km for the BMW 535d and 6.1L/100km for the rival Mercedes-Benz E350CDI BlueEfficiency.

In the real world, though, the diesels are even better, tending to return fuel consumption closer to the claimed figures than the petrolelectric hybrids, especially in country running. In stop-start urban driving, the hybrids come into their own, bursting away from the traffic lights on pure electricity drawn from batteries topped up under braking, thus cutting the thirst. We did not see the 6.3L/100km figure claimed by Lexus, rarely getting below 9.0L/100km in our week in the car. Nevertheless, the Lexus is undoubtedly more efficient than pure-petrol luxury cars, albeit at a price premium. The Lexus buyer will pay about $10,000 more for the hybrid technology by stepping up from GS 350 to GS 450h. The good news is that Lexus Australia has dropped the price of GS hybrid entry by $26,814, to $99,900 (plus on-road costs), in the latest range, while broadening the line-up from one to three models – Luxury, F-Sport and Sports Luxury.

benefits from high levels of comfort and equipment, with a sumptuous interior that includes a huge 12-inch LCD display, so big it can be run as a split screen to show sat-nav and other functions all at once. The dials in front of the driver are also LCD, and in the F Sport model, the speedo morphs into a tacho in the Sports modes. A head-up display beamed on to the windscreen has a digital speedo readout, along with other functions. Standard equipment includes leather-clad seats with a multitude of electric adjustments, digital radio and various choices of interior finishes (bamboo, anyone?). The rear seats get extra legroom, although this becomes premium when the driver’s seat automatically reverses on switching off the engine. Boot space has been enhanced, although it’s still inhibited by a battery pack that sits vertically behind the rear seats. Luggage space is adequate. Finally, we come to the Lexus point of difference: build quality. No one does it better. So, if diesel does not light your fire, you don’t mind paying a premium for saving fuel and you value jewel-like quality, the 450h is worth a look. And if $100k seems a bit rich, stand by, as Lexus Australia has announced a more affordable GS hybrid based on a four-cylinder engine from early next year.

CITY West Falcons have secured second spot and a double chance in the Victorian Netball League championship division finals. The Falcons’ destiny was in their own hands heading into the last home-and-away round and they completed their mission with a nail-biting 39-38 win over the Southern Saints at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Wednesday night. The title-holding Falcons will meet top-ranked Peninsula Waves in the major semi-final tomorrow night, with the winner to advance to the grand final. VU-Western Lightning will have to take the long route if it wants to feature in consecutive season deciders. The Lightning will enter the finals in poor form, thrashed 48-38 by Monash University Central in the last round. They will not have to wait too long to exact their revenge with the two sides meeting in a cut-throat semi-final tomorrow night. The championship semi-finals will be played at the SNHC with a 9.40pm start after the under19s and division 1.

THE tireless young legs of Werribee City were a significant factor in it outlasting Western Suburbs in a 3-1 win in the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 1 on Sunday. Bees sports director Giorgio Pastorini told the Weekly his side’s youthfulness had come in handy late in games when the more experienced opposition begins to tire. “They’re very young and they run for 90 minutes,” he said. “From the first to the last minute, they are full of dash and that’s a big advantage.” The first half, described as “wishy washy”, was not one to write home about. The sides struggled to gain control in the blustery conditions. But the game sparked up immediately after the break when Western Suburbs fired one past Bees goalkeeper Tommy Dunn. Dunn was called on to make a good save just moments later and rose to the challenge. The Bees found a way back into the contest through a dazzling free kick from Tomi Razov. “The free kick was from about 30 metres,” Pastorini said. “It went over

the wall and ended up in the corner of the left side of the goalkeeper. It was very precise.” Enter Julien Cassano. The in-form striker came into the game on the back of a hat-trick against St Albans Saints and he had more goals on the menu. Cassano scored a go-ahead goal and the insurance goal to make it five goals in two games – only his third full outing for the Bees since returning from injury. “He has the ability to be at the right point at the right moment,” Pastorini said. “He finds himself open a lot in front of the goalkeeper. It’s his speed and reading the game so well. He’s coming from an injury, so he’s not yet at 100 per cent.” Anthony Ragusa’s influence in the middle of the park was a key factor in Werribee’s win. Ragusa’s importance was heightened in the absence of injured captain Milan Savic, who usually pulls the strings in the centre. “In my opinion, he was the best man on the ground,” Pastorini said. “He took the midfield’s hand.” Ivica Praiz was also rock-solid in defence. “They played well, all of them,” Pastorini said of his side.

‘Own’ goals cost Tigers

— Lance Jenkinson

By Lance Jenkinson POINT Cook is back to its ominous best after a stirring 11-point win over the Northern Blues in the Victorian Amateur Football Association division 4 at Ruthven Reserve on Saturday. The Bulldogs have not snarled so fiercely since their hot early season form. “To play away and come away with that sort of win and, more to the point, the way we actually played, it was one of our best wins since the opening three rounds of the year,” said Bulldogs coach Daniel Fraser. “Our brand of footy was really good.” The importance of the victory was

not lost on Fraser, with the fourthplaced Bulldogs gaining a game break on the chasing pack. “It was the ultimate eight-point game for us,” Fraser said. “It’s going to keep us a little bit ahead of the pack that’s forming for the last couple of spots in the finals.” The Bulldogs produced a sixgoal-to-two second term to take a 25-point lead in to half time. The Blues hit back in the third with four goals to one. With the game on the line at the start of the last quarter, it was the cooler heads and the ferocious attack of the Bulldogs that prevailed. “Our composure under pressure was really good,” Fraser said. Errol Henderson, a speedy winger

who has endured his fair share of injuries this season, produced arguably his best performance for the Bulldogs. “He was absolutely fantastic. He used the ball well and laid some really great tackles to turn the ball over,” Fraser said. Brendan Garrick was a springboard out of the last line of defence. Jack O’Brien was a tackling machine, Mark Pozzuto never stopped burrowing in, and the icing on the cake was three goals from Rick Munn. The Bulldogs (7-4) host Box Hill North (4-7) at Saltwater Reserve on Saturday. Meanwhile, Werribee Districts trailed at every change to lose by 30

points to Caulfield Grammarians on the road in a hard-fought Victorian Amateur Football Association Premier B game on Saturday. Through Chris Molivas, Adam Alifraco and Matthew Turner (three goals), the Tigers tried hard to get back into the game but could never bridge the gap. The Tigers will visit fourth-placed St Kevin’s Old Boys on Saturday. In division 3, Old Westbourne is edging closer to a winless season after a 12th consecutive loss in which it managed a single goal in a 117-point thrashing by Albert Park. The Warriors will target Saturday’s trip to Power House, a team sitting just two spots above them, as an opportunity to break their duck.

Sicily shines in Jets’ defeat

DARREN HOWE

WERRIBEE has come back to earth with a thud in Hockey Victoria men’s Vic League 1. The Tigers were mauled 6-2 on Saturday by the Brunswick Magpies the result a stark contrast to their hot streak during the previous month. Tigers captain Ross Cowlishaw said his players did not perform with their usual discipline in defence and were wasteful in attack. “We take it as a bit of a reality check,” he said. “We had a good string of wins and were playing someone below us on the ladder and we probably took it for granted.” The signs were good for the Tigers early, Darren Wale pouncing on a rebound off the Magpie goalkeeper to score. The lead was maintained until the last 30 seconds of the half when the Magpies equalised from a short corner. The second half was a disaster for the Tigers, who conceded three ‘own’ goals. “It’s a new rule this year,” Cowlishaw said. “Normally when you’re shooting, you’ve got to touch the ball inside the circle. But now they’ve changed it – you can score from outside the circle, as long as it touches anyone’s part of their body it’s classed as a goal. “It was brought in because sometimes it’s hard for the umpire to determine who touched it.” The Tigers’ second goal would prove a mere consolation, but it was a bottler. Peter Nalder slid in bravely to deflect a cross from Wale into the net. It was the highlight on an otherwise disappointing day for the finalschasing Tigers. “We’re trying to put that game behind us now and move forward to this week,” Cowlishaw said. “The teams above us and below us, they lost as well so we didn’t move anywhere on the table and no one moved away from us, which was good.” The Tigers remain four points outside the top four with a crucial double-header this weekend. They meet La Trobe University away on Saturday, before returning home to face Greater Dandenong Warriors on Sunday. Werribee has surrendered its topfour position in the Hockey Victoria women’s Vic League 2. The Tigers were hammered 5-1 by ladder leader Brunswick on Saturday. Brittany McIntyre posted her ninth goal of the season for the Tigers.

Dogs barking glad after tough win

Centurions blitz maintains winning streak Werribee Centrals did as they pleased in a 72-38 dismantling of Thomson in the Geelong and District Netball League A grade game at Galvin Park on Saturday. The Centurions were at their most damaging in a 21-goal second-term blitz. Ellie Tubbs (28 goals) and Mickayla Ward (26 goals, pictured getting the better of an opponent) posed a constant threat to the Thomson defence. It was the Centurions’ 13th consecutive win. They have a game and percentage break on second-placed Bell Post Hill and will host middle-of-the-road Belmont Lions back at Galvin Park on Saturday.

BLAMING James Sicily for the Western Jets’ one-point loss to the Calder Cannons would be a harsh misrepresentation of his brilliant second-half showing in the TAC Cup match at Highgate Recreation Reserve on Saturday. Sicily had the dream scenario before him – an after-the-siren chance from about 45 metres out to win the game. But he was kicking into a stiff breeze and with the pressure of the moment on his young shoulders. The 18-year-old’s kick was sweetly struck, rotated nicely through the air but slammed into the woodwork. Had it not been for Sicily, the Jets would have been out of the reckoning long before his final effort. He booted four goals in a scintillating display and was heavily involved in most passages forward of centre. If anyone deserved a matchwinning goal, it was him. “James Sicily’s last half was outstanding,” Jets coach Torin Baker said. “He was willing the team over the line off his own bat and very nearly did that.” The loss was costly in the Jets’ quest for a top-four finish and a double chance. They slipped six premiership points adrift of fourth and cannot afford to slip up in the last four games. The Jets have a bye this weekend. — Lance Jenkinson

Extra Eagle adds up to Warrior win By Lance Jenkinson HOPPERS Crossing could gain a percentage boost after YarravilleSeddon Eagles fielded an extra man for four minutes in their Western Region Football League division 1 clash on Saturday. The Warriors won the contest comfortably by 86 points, but captain Brad Murphy ordered a head count on the insistence of teammate Jake Mutton and assistant coach Matt Walsh in the fourth quarter. The players lined up and it was revealed that the Eagles had 18 men on the field of play, which is allowed under normal circumstances. But the Eagles had earlier received a yellow card and were permitted only 17 men for the remainder of the game. The upshot is the Eagles could have their score re-set to zero at the point of the head count, but will keep any points produced thereafter,

essentially gifting a valuable lift in percentage to the Warriors, who are fighting it out with St Albans in the race for a finals berth. Murphy emphasised the importance of having a big win, one that “keeps our season alive”. “Everyone had an opponent, so I went up to the umpire and asked can you call a head count,” he said. “The game stopped and sure enough they had 18 players on the field when they were only meant to have 17. “They mucked up there and we’ve been told their score would be wiped to that time. It’s pretty handy for us, for our percentage.” The incident that sparked the confusion was a heavy bump laid by Eagles veteran Clint Foreman on Warriors full-back Chris Latella. Latella was left concussed on the ground and an ambulance was called to take him to hospital. Foreman was reported over the

‘They mucked up ... we’ve been told their score would be wiped to that time.’ incident and was scheduled to front the tribunal last night. Eagles coach David Connell came to the defence of Foreman, saying the action of his player was reckless but not malicious, and that Foreman was remorseful immediately after laying the bump. Murphy described the aftermath of the collision as a “horrible” sight. “When you see your mate lying there with his arms stiff in the air, he’s frothing at the mouth and they’re putting a neck brace on him and he’s getting into an ambulance, it’s quite scary,” Murphy said. “Chris is doing OK; he’s in hospital, he’s got all the feeling in his arms and legs and is moving around

fine. He’s obviously not moving his neck too much because it’s stiff and sore.” The Foreman incident could not take the gloss off Warrior forward Luke Wilson’s eight-goal haul. “He’s had a great season,” Murphy said. “He’s really wound back the clock to his younger years.” Onballer Aaron Ramsay was able to shrug a heavy tag to pick up more than 30 possessions, while speedy half-forward Jarryd Ramsay was a constant threat and finished with five goals. The Warriors face the Sunshine Kangaroos in a blockbuster at Hogans Road Oval on Saturday. Favourite son Matthew Young will play his 300th game for the Warriors.

Storm boots killer score

— Lance Jenkinson

Darren Howe

MANOR Lakes has cruised to a 184point win over Sanctuary Lakes in the Western Region Football League division 2 battle of the expansion clubs. It was all one-way traffic with the Storm booting 32 goals to four. Ty Priest and Matthew Kozole booted six apiece for the Storm. Priest has kicked 81 goals for the year. Justin Palmer, Haydn Templeton and Josh Callanan also starred for the Storm, which has settled the better of the league’s newest clubs and is setting its sights on a finals appearance. The Sharks are thinking longerterm, building with youngsters in season one. Matthew Debono was the Sharks’ lone multiple goalkicker on a disappointing day. Meanwhile, Glenorden has tasted defeat for the first time this season, losing to second-placed Parkside by two goals at home. The Hawks led at every change, but the visitors came home strong with a three-goal-to-one last quarter. Despite the loss, the Hawks hold a one game buffer at the top of the table. Wyndhamvale enjoyed a comfortable 48-point win over West Footscray. Air ball: Blake Pilkington dominates a contest for Manor Lakes.

THE rags to riches tale is almost complete for the Werribee Devils in the Big V basketball women’s division 2. The Devils are odds-on to clinch the minor premiership and take home-court advantage into the finals. Twelve months ago, the Devils were already planning for their offseason holidays and copping hiding after hiding. They moved two games clear on top of the ladder on Sunday, taking advantage of another slip-up by second-placed Southern Peninsula with back-to-back wins on a doubleheader weekend. “It was two good results for us to put us two games in front,” Devils coach Lloyd Klaman said. “If we can win two out of the last three games, we clinch the minor premiership and get home-court advantage for the whole playoffs.” The Devils were made to work hard for their 73-56 win over Mornington Breakers away on Saturday night. They led by just four at half-time, but powered away after the break. The Sunday session was easier – a thrashing of the Warrnambool Mermaids 70-33 at home. Elisha Burnette was the one constant for the Devils over the weekend. She had 11 points, five steals and four rebounds against the Breakers and backed up the next day with 21 points, five steals, four rebounds and three assists. They are monster numbers for any player, let alone one who was sidelined for more than a month with cracked ribs. “She’s come back in the last two weeks and been really important for us,” Klaman said. Burnette is one of the Devils ‘‘big three’’, with captain Emma Coyne and centre Lisa Troyahn. Coyne provides the defence and Troyahn offers an inside presence, but all three go better when Burnette is added to the mix. “She’s got the good overall game,” Klaman said. “When she’s on the court, our offence runs better and our defence runs better. “She does all the intangibles – she’s a really smart player.” The Devils (17-1) will take an eight-game winning streak into their visit to Melbourne University Black Angels (10-8) on Saturday night. Meanwhile, the Werribee Devils snapped a seven-game losing streak with an 85-72 win over the Melbourne Tigers at the Oakleigh Recreation Centre on Saturday night. — Lance Jenkinson

A Werribee Tigers promotion

Werribee cup campaign ends in deluge defeat Werribee’s trip east to Perth to contest the Foxtel Cup semi-final against East Fremantle was a miserable one, the Tigers losing 2.4 (16) to 6.4 (40). The game, played last Tuesday night at Patersons Stadium, was marred by torrential rain that resulted in a low-scoring slog in extremely wet and heavy conditions.

East Fremantle kicked three goals in the opening term. Had it not scored from then on, it would still have won the game. It led by 29 at half-time, with the Tigers’ only two goals coming through Ben McKinley and Cam Tudor. Ben Brown, Werribee’s best, handled much of the ruckwork after Majak Daw was

Tim Ruffles came to Werribee as a highly credentialed player who had been drafted by Fremantle and made his AFL debut in 2008. Unfortunately Tim suffered a major knee injury requiring a reconstruction (his third) and was ruled out of the 2013 season. So Plan B was put into place.

concussed following an accidental bump from Ben Speight. He returned to the field but was withdrawn from the game before half-time. Ayden Kennedy impressed in the backline, while Will Sierakowski and Jack PurtonSmith were also good. The Tigers, runners-up in the Foxtel Cup last year, were eliminated from the cup.

SW: So how did your new role at the club come about? TR: After the injury I was weighing up my options and had a few discussions with you and (C.E.O) Mark Penaluna about what my role might be at the club this year. I was offered the forward line assistant role in the reserves and the role as runner in the seniors. SW: How are you enjoying it? TR: I have really been enjoying it. I fell like the 19th man out there. It has been a different insight into the game, it is keeping me involved in the club and keeping me involved in football and given me something to do on the weekends, it’s really good fun. I am getting to know the blokes a little bit differently. I am getting to know the structures and the set ups in a lot more depth, and obviously working closely with yourself and the coaching staff, I think it has been really beneficial to my football knowledge. It has been a really good thing especially at my young age. SW: Was a coaching role something you thought might be an option after your playing days were over? TR: I think it is something that has crossed my mind. I think anyone who has played and come out of the AFL system thinks about it. Obviously the opportunity presented itself to me through the knee injury. I thought why not have a crack at it? SW: When I give you a message for a player, do you deliver it verbatim? TR: Sometimes it is hard to articulate some of the words that come out, I take it on board and go out and I might put my own little rap to it. We both seem to understand each other pretty well, and you give me some license to interpret the message. SW: Does this role make you miss playing more? ARJ GIESE

Running free: Ben Ross looks ahead for Werribee.

Defensive effort delights West BY DANIEL PAPROTH Eight minutes into the Werribee-Casey clash on Sunday, the Scorpions had kicked three goals to none and had Tigers coach Scott West worried. “Eight minutes in I was thinking, what is going on here?,” said West, who played for Victoria in the EJ Whitten Legends game on Wednesday night. But Werribee managed to stall Casey’s momentum by snagging two goals and going in to quarter-time six points down, when 20 minutes earlier the margin threatened to be six goals. In an astonishing second quarter, the Tigers slammed home 10 goals to one to take a 48-point lead into half-time. Casey wasn’t without opportunities, with

several inside 50s, but the Tigers inevitably swept out of defence to set up a goal. North Melbourne’s Scott McMahon marshalled the backline, with Scott Clouston and Jake Wilson in control. Much-hyped Jesse Hogan’s influence was restricted; he was held to three goals after best-on-ground performances in his two previous games. Majak Daw, who underwent a concussion test before being cleared to play, dominated with 50 hitouts and was lively and precise at ground level. He kicked a goal and had a hand in several others in a standout display. Addam Maric played one of his best games for the club with five goals, while a tally of 13 individual goalkickers was testament to the Tigers’ run, spread and ability to look for teammates up the field.

Five goals to four in the second half ensured Werribee edged further ahead and finally claimed a 56-point victory against a team that had lost just two for the year. West applauded the second term but said arresting Casey’s momentum in the first quarter was the key. “That was the turning point of the game,” he said. “We stopped the flow a bit and they didn’t score again after that period. The second quarter was terrific and it set the win up but we had to stop the flow first and that was really pleasing.” Holding Casey to its lowest score of the season also pleased West. “We had to improve our defensive efforts and we definitely did a good job of that today,” he said. Werribee (8-5) moved to fifth with the win.

TR: Sometimes. Sometimes when the boys are in the sheds before a game and you get the tingles during the speech, you can get a bit excited. SW: What is your playing future? TR: I am talking with my physio and my doctor at the moment about that. It is one of those things that you don’t know how it will be getting back into full training and full contact. I will maybe do the pre-season next year and then see how I pull up. It is one of those things that you have to take step by step. SW: Keep up the good work.
