Greenvale area residents are in shock a�er the dramatic arrest of a teenager, who police allege was planning a terrorist attack.

Yesterday, a heavy police presence remained in Clare Boulevard outside the 17-year-old’s double-storey home, where he was arrested on Friday a�ernoon.

Appearing in the children’s court yesterday, the teen was remanded in custody until May 26.

His arrest came a�er a tip-o� to the National Security Hotline, which sparked a nine-day investigation leading up to the joint Australian Federal Police and Victoria Police raid at 12.45pm last Friday.

Police converged on the premises and arrested the boy as he was leaving in a car with a woman. He allegedly resisted before being overwhelmed by police.

Using a megaphone, police stood in front of the house and called for any occupants to come outside with their hands in the air. Six women proceeded to �le out the front door and were later privately counselled.

Victoria’s Acting Police Commissioner, Tim Cartwright, said the teenager, who had dropped out of school, planned to carry out a terrorist attack “in coming days”.

He said investigators did not know of a speci�c target, but the boy had taken steps to prepare improvised explosion devices to carry out the attack.

�e teenager has been charged with engaging in, preparing for or planning a terrorist act.

Police described his actions as an “imminent threat to the community”, saying they feared a Mother’s Day attack.

Police said the large-scale raid on the boy’s family home found three improvised devises as well as other bomb-making material. A laptop was also among items seized.

Acting Commissioner Cartwright said the teenager was co-operating with police.

“In the past couple of days, we have made, or attempted to make, contact with more than 35 community groups to provide information about what is happening,” he said.

and Whittlesea council to cover the remaining $70 million. Another election promise was kept when $15 million was earmarked for a new police station at Mernda.

About $6 million will be spent replacing portable classrooms at Mill Park Heights Primary School, while Doreen’s Hazel Glen College gets $7.8 million to construct stages three and four of its building project.

�e former state government’s public private partnership model will be expanded to fund Mernda Central Secondary School. Another

By Lexi Cottee

�e Andrews state government’s �rst budget has delivered for the City of Whittlesea, with funds allocated to build a new police station, two new schools and plan the Mernda rail extension.

Despite a war of words between Labor and the state opposition over how much has been committed to the extension of the South Morang train line to Mernda and the duplication of Yan Yean road, works will start

on both projects in the 2015-16 �nancial year. Money has been set aside to develop a business case for the Mernda rail extension ($9 million).

Another $865,000 is budgeted for planning the duplication of Yan Yean Road between Diamond Creek Road and Kurrak Road at Plenty. �is project was costed by both Labor and the Coalition last year at $95 million.

�e government will also spend $40.7 million on the O’Herns Road and Hume Freeway diamond interchange, and is seeking commitments from the federal government

$8 million has been set aside for early works. Budget surprises included $50 million for the Interface Councils Infrastructure Fund to help growth area councils build community centres and playgrounds. Northern Hospital gets $29 million to expand its inpatient capacity, but no reference was made to continuing the Healthy Together Victoria program beyond June 30.

Whittlesea mayor Ricky Kirkham rued shortfalls for the Yan Yean Road and Mernda rail projects but said the budget “recognises some of the needs of this growing community”.

Election promises mostly kept

Funding for a new primary school in Craigieburn and removal of the Camp Road level crossing in Campbell�eld, together with millions for growth councils, are just some of the spoils for Hume in the 2015-16 state budget.

More than $12 million has been earmarked for the new primary school – one of eight new schools planned for the state as revealed last Tuesday.

�e refurbishment of Sunbury College’s science wing has been allocated $3 million. Almost $2.5 million will be spent in the 2015-16 �nancial year on the school, with all works predicted to be completed in 2017.

Mount Ridley P-12 College in Craigieburn has been allocated $3.56 million to complete stage 5 of the new Hampton Street school.

�e budget papers include allocation of $300 million for a TAFE Rescue Fund that will include cash for Kangan Institute in Broadmeadows.

�e Interface Councils group, which consists of 10 councils in growth areas and includes Hume and Whittlesea, received $50 million.

Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said the funds could be used to build multi-purpose facilities, community centres, playgrounds – “anything that local families need”.

�e Camp Road level crossing will be removed with funds from the government’s $5 billion-to-$6 billion war chest to remove 50 of the most dangerous and congested level crossings in the state.

A boost for education

Hume council’s 2015-16 dra� budget includes a �ve per cent rate rise and record spending on infrastructure.

�e dra�, presented to councillors on Monday night, is expected to be formally adopted next month. Hume chief executive Domenic Isola said the rate rise was �agged last year in the council’s strategic resource plan.

On top of the �ve per cent rate hike, residents will face a 0.3 per cent land�ll levy, payable to EPA Victoria.

Hume mayor Adem Atmaca said Sunbury’s secession from Hume wasn’t factored into this year’s budget.

Hume goes big on infrastructureHume mayor Adem Atmaca says the planned Sunbury secession played no part in the council budget process. (Damjan Janevski)

“It wouldn’t be fair. We’ve promised people in Sunbury certain services,” he said.

�e state government’s plans to cap council rates to in�ation in the 2016-17 �nancial year also had no bearing on the dra� budget, Cr Atmaca said.

�e proposed budget includes a record $64 million for new capital works.

Big-ticket items include $21.4 million for major leisure facilities, including the new Hume Regional Aquatic and Sports Centre at Craigieburn, a warm-water pool at Sunbury Aquatic Centre and a basketball court and community space at the Greenvale Recreation

Centre. More than $11 million would be spent building or upgrading parks and reserves, $9 million on civic buildings and $6.8 million on new footpaths and drainage.

New roads would be funded to the tune of $11 million.

Hume residents have until June 10 to comment on the proposed budget. Feedback should be sent to the Chief Executive O�cer, Hume City Council. PO Box 119, Dallas, VIC, 3047, or via email to [email protected].

�omastown businessman Ted Chwasta wants food education back on the school curriculum.

So great is his passion that when he caught wind that celebrity chef Jamie Oliver had started a petition to make practical food education compulsory in schools, Mr Chwasta decided to encourage schools in �omastown to sign up by o�ering them a giveaway.

Mr Chwasta owns �e Good Guys in �omastown. �e electrical and white goods chain is the founding partner of Jamie’s Ministry of Food Australia, which has taught more than 19,000 people the health and wellbeing bene�ts of cooking healthy, no-fuss food from scratch. Mr Chwasta will give a new stainless-steel microwave to whichever

school contributes the most signatures to the petition before Food Revolution Day on May 15.

“Food Revolution Day and Jamie’s petition are a chance for everyone in the community to come together and unite in a �ght for nutrition curriculum and standards in our primary schools – and send a message,” he said.

Pupils at St Clares Catholic Primary School, who have their own kitchen garden, are rallying friends and family to sign Jamie Oliver’s petition.

By Lexi Cottee

Yan Yean MP Danielle Green has rejected accusations of funding short-falls for the Mernda rail extension and duplication of Yan Yean Road, labelling the war of words a “deceitful campaign” masterminded by the Coalition.

�e Andrews state government’s 2015-16 budget revealed that just $9 million had been set aside for the extension of the South Morang rail line to Mernda. �e funds will pay for the development of a business case, site investigations, land acquisition and other project development work for the Merndarail project.

When Labor promised to deliver the rail extension last year, the estimated cost to build eight kilometres of duplicated track between South Morang and Mernda was between $400 million and $600 million. �e Coalition costed the project at $700 million.

About $865,000 will be spent preparing a business case and conducting further planning for the duplication of Yan Yean Road between Diamond Creek and Kurrak roads in Plenty, costed by both Labor and the Coalition last year at $95 million.

Opposition leader and former planning minister Matthew Guy said the road duplication and rail extension had beengrossly underfunded.

Rail link ‘deceit’ rejected“I don’t expect the government to be drilling

and laying down tracks in its �rst year, but there should be between $50 million to $100 million there in 2015-16 and then ramp it upthe following year,” he said. “It’s a disgrace.”

Mr Guy said preliminary planning for the project had already been done.

“�is project has been sited for years, the railway has been there for over 100 years, the route options are known, the station locations are known,” he said. “It’s been planned to within an inch of its life.”

But Ms Green said Labor’s plan had always been to �nalise planning in the government’s �rst year before construction could begin inthe next.

“If voters feel cheated it’s only because the Opposition is running a deceitful campaign,” she said. “Our commitment was $400 million to $600 million.

“What will happen now is the detailed planning, which will lead to the �nal �gure – that’s why it’s not speci�ed in the forward estimates.”

Mernda Rail Alliances spokesman Darren Peters was happy with the state government’s budget allocation.

“Labor said before the 2014 election that they would allocate the necessary funds for planning in their �rst budget and the balance of funds for construction in their following budgets so they have kept their promise,” Mr Peters said.

�e 108 year-old hall at Doreen has been demolished.

�e disused weatherboard building was levelled last week to make way for roadworks and the development of the Doreen Recreation Reserve.

Whittlesea mayor Ricky Kirkham said the demolition would allow for a set of tra�c lights to be installed at the notorious Bridge Inn and Yan Yean roads intersection, and for the future duplication of Yan Yean Road.

Last year, Star Weekly reported that a portion of the Bridge Inn Road reserve lay within the area earmarked for Doreen’s recreation reserve and, along with the Doreen hall, was standing in the way of plans to have Yan Yean Road declared a state road between Kurrak and Bridge Inn roads.

Cr Kirkham said the demolition of the Doreen hall was made public when plans were being drawn up for the recreation reserve last year.

“Parts of the structure will be salvaged and stored to be used as part of a commemorative piece at the site to honour the history of the reserve and the community-built hall,” Cr Kirkham said.

But not everyone is happy with the timing of the demolition. �ird-generation Doreen resident Julie Sutherland said the council did not tell locals when the hall would be demolished.

She said she was on the hall committee for a number of years and is disappointed the council did not adequately maintain the building nor tell the area’s older residents exactly when it was due to be taken down.

She said they would have liked to take photos and commemorate the event.

“My father’s cousin used to live across the road from us. She’s 97 now. She’s been here all her married life, about 70 years,” Ms Sutherland said. “I dread anyone having to tell her the hall’s gone. Because it was a landmark.”

Ms Sutherland said the hall was the centre of community life when the area was a sparsely

populated farming district. Her forbears, as well as her husband’s relatives, settled in Doreen in the 1860s. �e same property is still in the family. Ms Sutherland said her grandparents and parents went to weekly dances at the hall.

“Mum still talks about it. �at’s all they had back then.”

RICKY KIRKHAM

Street trees rebuttalI write in response to the letter by Tom Joseph, president Mernda and Doreen Multicultural Association, regarding a street tree matter raised with council by a resident. I would like to provide factual clari�cations.

Contrary to Mr Joseph’s assertions, council of�cers have spoken to the resident on several occasions and personally inspected the street tree on several occasions. This includes visits by quali�ed arborists.

Council has responded thoroughly and has undertaken maintenance of the tree. There has also been no breach of any guidelines, as Mr Joseph suggests.

Council places great importance on the value of our city’s trees and takes any concerns residents have seriously.

Teens chargedFive teenagers have been charged after a police operation against antisocial behaviour at Roxburgh Park railway station last Thursday. North-West Metro Strikeforce members executed �ve warrants at Broadmeadows, Reservoir, Roxburgh Park and Meadow Heights while investigating an alleged robbery at a bus stop outside the station on April 28. It’s alleged a 15-year-old girl’s phone was stolen and she was threatened with having to perform a sexual act if she wanted it back. Five boys, aged 14 and 15, were charged with robbery and theft, and three also face blackmail charges. All will face a children’s court.

Drugs, guns, cycles regained Police seized drugs, guns and 23 bicycles while executing a warrant at Westmeadows last Friday. Fawkner divisional response unit of�cers went to a Devenish Court address and found three guns, drugs including ice and cannabis, and 23 allegedly stolen road and mountain bikes valued at between $1000 and $8000 each. A 39-year-old Westmeadows man was arrested.

Facebook horrorNorth-West Metro Strikeforce members are investigating a Facebook video, posted in April, showing a girl trying to retrieve an item from a drain at Roxburgh Park train station while another girl watches. Suddenly the girl watching is pushed head�rst into the drain, striking her head. Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

�ere’s always a place at Sue Taylor’s house on Christmas Day for people without family.

So it was no surprise when 103-year-old Trudy was a guest at Ms Taylor’s Christmas lunch four years ago.

�e pair’s friendship bloomed at Villa Maria retirement home in Bundoora, where Trudy lives and Ms Taylor volunteers three times each week. She’s been a friend, mentor and aid for Villa Maria residents for 11 years and will be recognised as part of National Volunteer Week for her time, e�ort and compassion.

A lunch will also be held on Tuesday to honour 24 volunteers who have visited the Bundoora aged-care home for anywhere between �ve and 35 years.

�e not-for-pro�t centre relies on more than 340 volunteers to provide residents with friendship and help in administration and fundraising.

Ms Taylor has built some strong relationships over the years.

“I �nd volunteering really enriching,” she says. “My philosophy is to give back – that’s what the world’s all about. One day I may be sitting in an aged-care facility and need someone to talk to. A �ve-minute chat can mean the world to some people. I don’t think we realise how much input and power we have to make a di�erence just with our time.”

Bike riding has declined by 20 per cent in the past 12 months in Whittlesea, according to the latest Bicycle Network Victoria statistics.

On March 3, the network conducted its annual Super Tuesday Bike Count to measure cycling commuter numbers in the morning peak between 7am and 9am.

�e national survey was completed by volunteers, who were stationed at points along bike paths across the country. �ere were 20 sites to count during the two-hour

route they take. �is may have occurred in the city of Whittlesea.

“�at said, considerable more work is required across the country in order to get more people bike riding.”

Mr Carpenter said despite Whittlesea council’s ongoing work to improve infrastructure and conditions for bike riders, more is needed so residents can enjoy the enormous health bene�ts regular bike riding brings.

South Morang resident and keen cyclist Anthony Di Berardino volunteered on the

peak period through Whittlesea – recording a 20 per cent decline in cyclists from the previous year.

Bicycle Network Victoria’s general manager of government and external relations, Chris Carpenter, said on Super Tuesday last year, 11 counting stations had been set up in the city of Whittlesea.

“When comparing those same 11 sites, between 2014 and 2015, there was a 20 per cent decrease in the number of bike riders counted,” Mr Carpenter said. “However, as bicycle routes improve people can change the

Super Tuesday to count the riders passing the corner of Findon Road and Ferres Boulevard at South Morang.

He said he noticed a surprising number of female bike riders despite women making up just 23 per cent of the total number of bike commuters counted across Australia.

He attributed the overall decline in cycling participation in Whittlesea to the closure of bike shops, including the popular Bike n’Bean in South Morang.

“People might be struggling to �nd a place to buy a bike or have theirs �xed,” he said.

Cyclist numbers plummet

It was a changing of the guard last Friday when Whittlesea’s outgoing police inspector Bob Dykstra welcomed Paul Tysoe to the role.

Inspector Dykstra has managed the Whittlesea police service area for four years and will move across to Diamond Creek police station in a project o�cer role, still encompassing the Banyule, Nillumbik and Whittlesea areas.

He said Victoria Police encouraged movement a�er three or four years in a role, and last month marked four years since he took up the position of inspector.

Inspector Dykstra said in this time he had negotiated to introduce a dedicated family violence unit and overcome countless challenges as the area expanded rapidly.

“I’m con�dent the people and processes we have in place will continue to provide an e�ective policing service to the community,” he said.

He predicted the biggest challenges for Inspector Tysoe, who has served as the Nillumbik inspector for the past two years, would be overseeing the opening and resourcing of Mernda’s new police station, which was allocated $15 million in last week’s 2015-16 state budget. “Also, ongoing high levels of family violence and the impact of crystal methamphetamine,” Inspector Dykstra said.

�e inspector is a Doreen resident and has lived and worked in the Whittlesea area for 30 years. He said family violence remained Victoria Police’s main priority. “We have a very simple philosophy that everyone has a right to feel safe in their own home.”

Inspector Tysoe said sta�ng issues, including manning the future Mernda police station, were being discussed “at the highest levels”.

Lexi Cottee Bob Dykstra congratulates his replacement Paul Tysoe. (Damjan Janevski)

A campaign by more than 500 concerned parents to get a new children’s crossing at Lakes South Morang Primary School has succeeded.

Whittlesea councillors voted last Tuesday to approve a children’s crossing in front of the Gordons Road school in response to a petition signed by 543 people and spearheaded by the school’s parents association.

Principal Kerrie Heenan said the school community had been concerned about students crossing busy Gordons Road, which carries about 500 cars during school peak times.

Ms Heenan said the decision “was a big win” for the school, which had been without a crossing for six months.

Prior to the opening of the school’s junior campus, a children’s crossing was installed in 2007 on the west side of Gordons Road, about 150 metres from �e Lakes Boulevard. Another pedestrian crossing was then installed further up the road in June last year.

A�er this second, �ashing light pedestrian crossing was installed the children’s crossing was removed.

Parents tabled a petition last November with Whittlesea council and an ensuing o�cers’ report con�rmed the need for the second school crossing.

Ms Heenan said the new crossing would be in a better position than the former one as it would link with a shared pathway already used by many pupils.

Crossing win for petitioners

CFA is gaining speed

Doreen’s CFA volunteers rely on mobile broadband for their internet needs.

But it’s o�en an unreliable connection and sometimes fails to load crucial map information for jobs they’re called out to.

So when �bre-optic installation company Red Train o�ered high-speed internet connections to 14,500 homes and businesses at Doreen, Mernda and Epping this year, emergency service volunteers decided they would sign up

for connection, too. Red Train has since o�ered to pay for the CFA’s connection – a cost of about $700 – if 30 people sign up and mention “Doreen CFA”.

Volunteer Matthew Stoneham said having quick and reliable internet would be a boon for the Yan Yean Road �re station. “We would have better access to training material and, on high risk �re days, volunteers could be online and work their day-job while waiting for a call-out.”

A Telecommunications Industry Ombuds- man report found that in 2014, Doreen South

recorded the second-highest number of internet-related complaints.

While the National Broadband Network has been rolled out to parts of Doreen, Epping North and Mernda, many households are still without high-speed internet.

Whittlesea council has contracted Red Train to provide “�bre-to-the-home” data cabling to more than 14,000 homes in parts of these poorly serviced suburbs. To see if your home is eligible, visit Red Train’s website. Details: www.redtrain.com.au/whittlesea/register

If the proof is in the pudding, soccer is booming in Whittlesea and the council’s grass pitches are muddy enough to prove it.

Last week, councillors voted to develop a soccer strategy in response to petitions from two Lalor-based clubs to turn their grass training grounds into synthetic ones.

�e strategy is expected to guide the management of pitches and the divvying up of training facilities. It will also include a cost-bene�t analysis for replacing grass with synthetic turf soccer pitches.

Whittlesea Rangers Football Club co-director Serge Costanzo was pleased the club’s request for synthetic turf had been considered and said the club would be heavily involved in the development of the soccer strategy.

But, he said, no timeline had been given for a reprieve from the worsening conditions at Partridge Street Reserve at Lalor, where 500 members train and play each week.

“When winter sets in, the grass tears up and it’s very di�cult to have 30-odd teams training during the week,” Costanzo said. “Whereas you can train on a synthetic pitch 24-7.”

�e main aim of the soccer strategy is to develop a blueprint for the future needs of soccer in the city. �is will involve an audit of facilities and preparation of a 10-year plan for future ground development.

�e blueprint is expected to be completed between September this year and June next year, and all soccer clubs will be stakeholders.

Whittlesea council’s 2013 household survey found soccer had grown from being the ��h- most-played sport in the municipality in 2007 to the second-most-played sport in 2013.

�ere are more than 1900 players registered at 10 soccer teams in the city.

Pitch perfect strategy

When a group of 11 viticulture students travelled to Spain for last year’s vintage, they were taken aback by the Spanish working ways.

Former student Jordan Kay said the Spaniards’ a�ernoon siesta would stretch from 1.30pm to 5pm, putting the brakes on winemaking for a good part of the day.

“We had to �nd ways to work within the established cultural practices, which was quite challenging but something you learn to enjoy pretty quickly,” he said.

Mr Kay and 10 other bachelor of agriculture and technology students from Melbourne Polytechnic’s Epping campus were in Rueda, a winemaking region in central Spain, to grasp the ins and outs of the verdejo grape.

�eir lecturer, Alastair Reed, wanted to take them out of their comfort zone and throw

them in the deep end alongside some of Spain’s best winemakers. �e students were required to produce three di�erent types of wine: an aromatic white from verdejo, a grenache rosé from 130-year-old bushvine grenache, and a joven-style (unoaked) tempranillo.

Dr Reed said the September trip, funded by a Pozible campaign, gave students a chance to complete a full Spanish vintage, discover di�erent grape varieties and visit some of Spain’s best wineries. Mr Kay has since landed a winemaking job in Portugal.

Most students do their practical work at Melbourne Polytechnic’s Northern Estate wineries at Epping and Ararat. �e Northern Estate wine sale is on Saturday at Epping.

Having two relatives who fought in World War I made Emelia Eagling-Every’s recent trip to Gallipoli even more special. �e Ivanhoe Girls’

Grammar social-service prefect was one of 94 Victorian students and teachers who attended the Anzac Day centenary dawn service.

Emelia’s great-great uncle, Archie Eagling, was killed in action during the Great War.

“Archie joined the 52nd Australian Infantry Battalion and began his training at the Tel-el-Kebir camp,” she says. “My great-great uncle fought very brie�y on the Western Front until he was killed in action at age 24 on the July 6, 1916. He is now buried at the Rue-Petillon Military Cemetery in France.”

Emelia’s great-grandfather, Private George Every, fought at the Somme during WWI. He returned to Australia a�er being injured in France.

Emelia was among 80 students, 14 teachers and four o�cials from across Victoria that the state government sent to Turkey last month to commemorate 100 years since the Gallipoli campaign started. Chosen from 734 applicants, the group was on site by 3am for the main dawn service at North Beach, before attending Australia’s memorial service at Lone Pine. Emelia was one of only four students in her group to meet Prince Charles, Prince Harry and Prime Minister Tony Abbott. �istopped o� what was already an emotional and moving experience.

�e seven-day tour was based in Istanbul and took in major tourist sites such as the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. All those involved returned with amazing experiences and stories to share with their school and wider communities.

Camberwell Girls Grammar School’s Karin Lemanis and Megan Liew were the only teacher-student combination from the same school. Megan is a year 12 student with a strong sense of social justice and believes we need to commemorate the WWI sacri�ces made by both Australians and non-Australians.

“Being given the opportunity to keep the Anzac spirit alive with other young Australians is one I’ll never forget,” Megan says. “�e experiences and memories I have gained on this journey are immeasurable and I feel proud and humbled by the opportunity. To ensure that the sacri�ces made by our Anzacs is never forgotten, I am constantly sharing the experience and knowledge with my peers and the community.” 

Karin is a history teacher who reminds students that soldiers are ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. She takes year 9 girls to Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance, which has a new WWI section with a Gallipoli landing boat, and uses Australian War Memorial boxes – containing soldiers’ uniforms, equipment and artefacts – to take her students back to that time in Australia’s history.

Visiting Gallipoli for its historic centenary has helped schools experience the spirit of the Anzacs

Memories remain

Karin, whose twin daughters Belinda and Amelia turned 12 on Anzac Day, was touched and honoured to experience one of the most important places she has taught about.

“�ese stories help us de�ne who we are and what we are all capable of,” she says.

“I like to remind students that WWI, and speci�cally the events at Gallipoli, helped shape Australia’s future because we needed to deal with major social issues … concerning citizenship and sacri�ce, conscription, independence from Britain, Australia’s place on the world scene, women in the workforce, democratic equality, loss and empathy.

“�e Anzacs have given us a lasting sense of national identity. �eir displays of bravery, loyalty, self-reliance, self-sacri�ce and �ghting spirit all personify the ‘real’ Australian spirit.”

While the Gallipoli pilgrimage was a state government initiative, many schools o�er international trips in which students and teachers enjoy incredible experiences and forge links with communities around the world. �e Anzac Day trip provided a lifetime of memories and an appreciation of what our soldiers went through.

At other times, Camberwell Girls Grammar o�ers language tours to France, Germany and China. It has social justice trips to Chiang Mai in �ailand, to help build amenities for a school near the Burmese border, and a history/science tour to the US.

At Ivanhoe Girls’, the anniversary of the

Gallipoli landing was commemorated through school and community initiatives, including Senior School and Junior School Anzac Day assemblies.

Highlights included visiting the school’s Aleppo pine (or Lone Pine) tree – descended from trees at Gallipoli – and joining the National Trust’s Gallipoli Oaks Project and the City of Banyule Schools Anzac Day service. Students also escorted the Australian 2/4 Field Regiment banner during this year’s Anzac Day march in Melbourne.

Emelia is reminded of WWI sacri�ces through memorabilia lining the walls and the people she and other students meet when visiting the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital each week as volunteers. She now has some special stories of her own to tell them.

“�e Remembrance Garden and memorabilia help me to remember the people who walked the very halls that I now do, and for that matter, all the nurses and soldiers that would have passed through the hundreds of military hospitals during WWI,” she says. KARIN LEMANIS AND MEGAN LIEW

My son Bennie always showed more interest in the F&C shop at one end of �e Circle’s shopping strip than I did.

But that wasn’t hard as my level of interest was pretty much zero. My lack of curiosity continued when the premises became a cafe that – and here I am judging a restaurant by its cover – seemed to o�er little more than basic co�ee.

So it was only happy circumstance – the Lebanese pizza shop up the road being closed – that forced me through the door to see what’s on o�er.

My prior judgments based on appearances proved to be utterly false. In fact, House Of Beans serves a longish range of good Lebanese food – think falafel, ful madammas, hummus and the like – that puts it on the same footing as the fabulous Abbout Falafel House in Coburg.

And about that I am ecstatic. Just think, no more driving to Sydney Road!

For my �rst visit, I go for the “ka�a in bread” ($6.50) and a small serve of fattoush ($7).

At �rst blush, the ka�a, found between layers of lovely, toasted house-made �at bread, appears to be very similar to the pinkish meaty smear found on your basic meat pizza up the road and elsewhere.

It’s nothing of the sort. �is is much more juicy, well seasoned and delicious – in short, it really is lamb ka�a in a sandwich. Marvellous!

�e generously proportioned fattoush is wonderfully fresh but, if anything, the dressing is a little too lemony.

Nahida helpfully explains the ins and outs of the �ve di�erent varieties of ful on o�er – basically they’re all variations on red beans, depending on the addition or not of tomato, tahini or chick peas – but we perversely go in the opposite direction. I let my young man have his way with an order of the most expensive menu item: mixed grill ($15). It’s a ripper!

�ere’s a skewer apiece of ka�a, lamb and chicken. �ey’re all fabulous – heavy with amazing chargrilled �avour, juicy and tender.

�row in a good gob of hummus, some rice and the same good salad mix, and you’ve got a splendid meal.

My falafel plate ($10) looks a little on the bare-bones side until the arrival of … a fabulously tangy bowl of green olives, pickled cucumber and chillis, mint and onion.

�e falafels are fresh and yummy, though a tad on the dry side for my taste.

Nahida brings us some ful to try. �is one is an oily mix of red beans and chick peas that is slightly surplus to the rest of our meal.

We love what Banjo, Nahida and their family have going on here.

Cricket is still months away, but Westmeadows appears to have pulled o� the recruiting coup of next season. �e Victorian Turf club has signed Sri Lankan international Chanaka Welegedara for the 2015-16 season.

Welegedara, 34, has played 21 Test matches for Sri Lanka, the most recent in August last year.

A le�-arm fast-medium bowler, he has taken 55 Test wickets at an average of just over 41.

He also played 10 one-day internationals and last month equalled the world record for the most economical four-over T20 spell – 2-2 – while playing for Tamil Union.

Westmeadows will play in the A1 competition this season, a�er �nishing 11th in north division and being relegated.

Club president Paul Lloyd said signing Welegedara was a massive boost for the club.

“We identi�ed that we needed an extra bowler and we went out and got one and we’re fortunate to get one as good as this,” he said.

“It’s something we’ve been working on for a while and it has �nally come through. It will give us a bit of momentum.”

Welegedara, whose international career is over, will move to Australia once he has �nished playing T20 competition in Sri Lanka.

Lloyd said the signing came about through contacts within the club.

“We’ve got a few contacts and some good networks which have been established,” he said.

“Chanaka has managed to get Australian permanent residency and was looking for opportunities to play locally. We’re fortunate he came to us.

“It’s great for the club and the area.”Welegedara’s arrival at the club will

help with the development of younger players.

“He’ll help coach and teach the boys,” Lloyd said. “He’ll work well with Danny [Law, the senior coach] and we’ve appointed Michael Butera to look a�er junior development. Chanaka will add the icing on the cake.”

As for the season ahead, Lloyd said the club was looking to redeem itself a�er a disappointing year.

“We’re embarrassed and disappointed and we want to win as many games as possible to bounce back up,” he said.

“We’ve maintained most of our playing list and we hope we aren’t in A1 for long.”

Westmeadowspulls off Testbowler coup

Twice this season Whittlesea has been in a position to win tight games in Northern Football League division 2 but fallen short.

It wasn’t quite third time lucky for the Eagles at the weekend but they managed to take away two points by drawing 9.8 (62)-7.20 (62) with Fitzroy Stars.

�e Eagles were lucky to be in the game as the Stars missed early opportunities to run away.

�e Stars had 12 more scoring shots than the Eagles but couldn’t shut the game down.

Eagles coach Brad Dean admits his side was lucky.

“Even though we were in the game, they had 12 more scoring shots,” he said.

“We did not give up – it was the last kick into the forward 50 which was hurting us.

“We had Cameron Colon back from the Northern Blues for his �rst game, so we structured up taller than what we had been doing.

“We kicked it too long instead of going to targets.”

For Dean, the way his team reacted to being two goals down with �ve minutes to go would show how far his side has come.

“I was very interested in how they would play,” he said. “We’ve been in that situation twice and have not been able to respond how I would have liked.

“�ey kept on playing to instructions and stuck with it for the whole 30 minutes of the last term.

“�e Stars have been beaten at home twice in the last 15 or 16 times they have played there, so it was a really good e�ort.”

Dean said Jordan Ormerod was the spark in the last quarter.

“He is one who normally does a job for us in the back pocket but we needed a bit of run,” Dean said. “He won four or �ve clearances himself and sort of got us going.

“Joel Bramble had some really good e�orts in the last quarter … encouraging as both are two of the younger guys in the side.”

�e Eagles are 2-2-1 a�er �ve rounds.“It was a bit unknown coming down from

division one with everyone thinking that you should be premiership favorites,” Dean said.

“�ere’s seven teams that are �ghting for the top four spots. It’s a very close competition.”

Other weekend winners included �omastown and Lalor. Bundoora won in division 1 and South Morang was a victor in division 3.

Greenvale promotes assistant coachWhen Greenvale Kangaroos named Stan Nell as the club’s next Premier Cricket coach, the appointment was based on the overall package rather than any one key element.

Kangaroos president Bruce Kent said Nell presented as “the best coach for us going forward”, one who had a deep understanding of Premier Cricket and had embraced the culture of the club.

“He lives in Sunbury so he knows the area and has previously coached Hawthorn-Monash University on two occasions,” Kent said.

“He has also been a Premier Cricket player with North Melbourne and coached internationally.”

Nell is set to get a two-year contract with the club a�er being promoted from his role as assistant coach.

Kent said the club’s thriving junior program

would be the backbone for the club in the future. �e Kangaroos �nished 17th last year.

“We have got the best three ovals in Melbourne’s north-west,” Kent said. “We’ve just �nished our turf training facility, which has 16 wickets – it’s better than most others.

“�ere’s been a lot of work done and we have set in place a terri�c academy. Our under-16 division 1 team made the grand �nal.

“Our under-17 team were Victorian Turf Cricket Association premiers and �ve of those players played Premier Cricket. We hope we are headed on the right path.”

�ere seems likely to be changes to the Kangaroos’ list, including the departure of captain James Lidgett, who is awaiting a clearance to join Essendon.

“James was a bit of a shock,” Kent said.

“We were recently speaking to him about the captaincy for next season.”

English imports Jack Shantry and Ben Cox are unlikely to be back.

“Alex Kerr leaves with our blessing,” Kent said. “He lives on the other side of the city and it’s a bit much to ask him to keep driving all the way across.”

�e club’s other assistant coach, Dale McDonald, will not return a�er being appointed coach of Williamstown in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association.

“Dale is keen to be a senior coach in his own right,” Kent said.

“We have a couple of people we are speaking with to consider as assistant coaches and players.”

Epping City climbed to sixth in the state league 4 north soccer table with a 3-1 win over Greenvale United on Saturday.

City led 1-0 at half-time and total domination of the second half set up the club’s second win of the season.

�e Plenty Valley Lions lost their �rst match of the year, falling 2-1 to Newmarket Phoenix.

Bundoora United drew 0-0 with Northern United, while Meadow Park lost 4-0 to West Preston.

Hume United was too good for Westvale in state league 2 north-west, winning 3-1, while Sporting Whittlesea drew 1-1 with Heidelberg Stars.

Sporting remains on top of the ladder despite the draw, while Hume is 10th.

Lalor United defeated La Trobe University 2-1 in state league 3 north-west.

Whittlesea United lost 3-1 to Williamstown, while Epping lost 2-1 to Altona City.

In National Premier League, Hume City claimed a point against the top-of-the-table Heidelberg United.

An own goal gave Heidelberg the only score of the �rst half, but Nick Hegarty equalised from the penalty spot a�er a foul on Jai Ingham 20 minutes from the end.

In NPL 1, Whittlesea Ranges drew 1-1 with Bendigo City, who held on despite being down to 10 men from the 38th minute.

�e Ranges got the �rst goal of the game through Matthew Cundari in the 73th minute and Bendigo equalised �ve minutes later as the Ranges were le� to rue their missed opportunities.

City takes the pointsSometimes all you need is a win to kick-start a season, which appears to be the case for the Whittlesea Pacers men’s Big V state championship basketball side.

A�er losing the �rst �ve games of the season, the Pacers have won four of the past �ve.

Speaking before Sunday’s 68-65 win over Sherbrooke, coach Ross Moll said that playing well for a whole game seemed to have been the di�erence in the past few weeks.

“We’re starting to get on track,” he said. “We were very inconsistent [in the early games]. We were good for large periods of time but didn’t get results.

“Once we got our �rst win the belief factor kicked in.”

Improvement across the board has been a key in the wins.

“�e lack of experience has hurt us,’’ Moll said.

“We have a new point guard this season, so it’s been about getting the ball in the hands of the right people at the right time.”

Moll said the next challenge for the side was to play consistent basketball.

“Outside the top two to three teams it’s a very even competition,” he said.

“We have the next few games at home a�er four on the road.

“We need to keep the consistency regardless of the opposition and use the momentum we have to make up for the games we lost earlier in the season.”

Newcomers make �ying start to the seasonFor Up�eld, it isn’t all about the money or being the best team, it’s about giving an opportunity to those who wouldn’t otherwise get to play soccer.

�e Hume-based club helps subsidise playing fees and equipment to many of its senior and junior players.

“We’re a very multicultural club and soccer unites us,” club secretary Wally Hanna said.

“We attract a lot of asylum-seekers and refugees and many of them don’t have money to pay for equipment or fees.

“We don’t have a lot of money to pay players to play and we’d rather help those who can’t otherwise play soccer.”

�is approach has been working well for Up�eld on the �eld, with the club shocking itself and its opponents this season in state league 3 north west.

One of the newcomers in the competition a�er winning promotion from state league 4 north, Up�eld is on top of the ladder a�er seven rounds with a 5-1-1 record. It went down 2-1 to Altona City on Saturday for its �rst loss.

Anwar Odish, who has coached at Moreland United, came on board as coach late in the o�-season, while a new technical director was also hired.

“As we were promoted we thought we needed to get more quality players,” Hanna said. “[But]they were asking for money we didn’t have, so we kept a lot of the same players.

“Lots of the other clubs in the competition were spending money on players, so we were the underdogs.

“Preparation for the season was poor and we didn’t get to play a lot of friendlies.”

�e aim now for the club is staying among the top sides and looking at possible promotion.

“We have played a lot of the easier teams to start the season and still have to play teams like Altona City, Hoppers Crossing and Williamstown, who have the best lists,” Hanna said before last weekend’s match.

“It’s hard to compare ourselves until we have played every team.”

Calder Cannons’ inability to stop a run-on has again been the downfall of the TAC Cup side, this time against Geelong Falcons.

�e Cannons had the best of the game in the �rst 15 minutes but did not take advantage before the Falcons kicked into gear.

�e Falcons lead by 30 points at quarter-time and were never headed in winning 13.12 (90) - 4.12 (36)

Cannons coach Andrew Johnston said that once an opponent started a roll his side struggled to stop it.

“We lost momentum and they gained a lot of con�dence and ran over the top,” he said.

“We need to play one-on-one football. Too many guys are not doing it.

“We need to work harder on the spread. I don’t think it’s a �tness thing. It’s a willingness to do it for longer.”

Ovie Magbegor, in his �rst competitive game in more than six months, was a real positive for the Cannons.

“Hisham Kerbatieh was a real focal point down forward and he’s getting better with his defence, while Tyson Lever was really good,” Johnston said. “Not too many other positives.”

It was an emotional week for the Cannons, with the death of legendary trainer Phil Dunk.

He died suddenly on May 2 a�er spending the day at the Cannon’s game.

Talent manager Ian Kyte said everyone at the Cannons and many people across the TAC Cup loved Dunk.

He was a trainer at the Western Jets before joining the Cannons when they were formed.

“He has been a stalwart of the club and has been here right from the start,” Kyte said. “Even when he moved to Ballarat he still came down.

“He had a cult following and nobody would walk past him without acknowledging him and saying something.”

Dunk was one of the inaugural inductees into the Cannons Hall of Fame earlier this year.

“We’re grateful we were able to honour him while he was alive,” Kyte said.

Most coaches whose teams led 37-0 at quarter-time would be happy with the quarter’s work.

But that wasn’t the case for Greenvale coaching sta� in the Essendon District Football League premier division match against Airport West on Saturday.

And when the Jets then lost the second quarter to lead by 32 at half-time, coach Shannon Grant was less than satis�ed.

“Our �rst half was poor,” he said. “We were kicking with a three or four-goal breeze in the �rst quarter and we didn’t make the most of our opportunities [they kicked 5.7].

“We lost the second quarter and the scoreboard �attered us at half-time.”

But the Jets stepped it up in the second half and went on to win 20.19 (139) - 8.5 (53).

“We started to work harder than in the �rst half,” Grant said.

“We were a lot tougher and started winning the stoppages, which we weren’t doing earlier in the game.

“I was pleased with how they performed a�er half-time.”

Grant said he wasn’t sure if the side’s slow start was a little bit of the players just thinking it was going to happen.

A�er losing in round one, the Jets entered the weekend game with an average winning margin of 108 points for the past three rounds.

“�e boys have been good for a long time and we’ve had only one really bad quarter for the year, when we were massively outscored,” Grant said.

�e Maric brothers were among the standouts for the Jets on Saturday. Nick kicked four goals while Addam was best on ground.

“Both have been really good for us this year,” Grant said. “�ey each add a di�erent element for us in the middle and up forward.

“�ey’re both dangerous players.”

�e test for the Jets will come over the next three weeks, as so far they have played only sides outside the top four.

“We have Pascoe Vale, Keilor and Strathmore in the next three weeks and we will �nd out where we’re at,” Grant said.

He said the mid�eld was the key to beating undefeated Pascoe Vale.

“�ey get a lot of opportunities through the middle and we need to restrict that,” Grant said.

“And when they do get it into the forward line, we need to make sure it’s under pressure.”

Tullamarine continues to surprise everyone in division 1, beating Westmeadows, while Craigieburn is the only undefeated side a�er beating Oak Park.

In division 2, Jacana and Roxburgh Park had massive wins over Keilor Park and Burnside Heights.
