A program that helps young people disengaged from education or employment has been saved despite the federal government cutting its funds last year.

Hume council has signalled it will step in to underwrite the Moving Forward program, which helps 15 to 19-year-olds who are disengaged, socially isolated and vulnerable.

�e federal government previously funded the program through Youth Connections, which had its funding cut on December 31 last year.

Moving Forward, introduced in 2010, operates three times a year at Broadmeadows, Craigieburn and Sunbury to teach life skills and work readiness to some of Hume’s most at- risk young people.

Until last year, Hume council paid for the program facilitator while federal government funding paid for another sta� member, at a cost of $52,772 a year.

In its dra� youth strategy, released last week, the council committed to continue funding Moving Forward from its annual operating budget. Hume’s council’s leisure and youth manager, Bruce Fordham, said keeping

Moving Forward going was vital because there was nothing else like it in the region.

“We have young people in Hume who leave the education system and then are unlikely to be able to get a job,” he said.

“�e road to adulthood can be very, very rocky and a daily challenge for some of our young people.

“Moving Forward puts out a hand to young people who are falling through the cracks at that point in their life when they move through to adulthood.”

In the past �ve years, the council has delivered 16 Moving Forward programs to 142 young

people, 85 per cent of whom have completed the program. Mr Fordham spoke of Sunbury teen Alyssa’s turn-around, to highlight the program’s capacity to help struggling youths.

�e 17-year-old wasn’t attending school and found life a constant battle before signing up to the 10-week program. A�er graduating, she did work experience at Living Legends before applying for animal studies at Bendigo TAFE and starting a part-time job at McDonald’s.

“Alyssa is a perfect example of what Moving Forward is about, and why the program is so important to young people in Hume,” Mr Fordham said.

You’re never too old to learn how to swim … and Heather Woodgate will vouch for it. The 60-year-old Hume resident was one of 60 graduates of Life Saving Victoria’s Grey Medallion program, which teaches people in their 60s and older to feel con�dent in the water.

The group underwent six weeks of swimming and emergency training at Broadmeadows and Craigieburn pools before graduating this month.

Funding from Hume’s 2015 community grants scheme meant swimmers were offered the course free of charge as part of a bid to reduce the rising drowning toll among older Victorians. They were educated in water safety knowledge, resuscitation and emergency care, aquatic exercise and personal survival lifesaving skills. Hume mayor Adem Atmaca said the seniors learnt skills to help them survive in water. “These mature-aged residents have done something, which is much more than just a bit of fun at the local leisure centre,” Cr Atmaca said. “Participants attained aquatic skills that could save their own lives and the lives of others.”

Parks Victoria is seeking public input to a new 10-year master plan for Plenty Gorge Park.

�e plan will replace a 1994 version and look at extending leisure and recreation opportunities while protecting the park’s natural and cultural values.

A dra� concept plan has been prepared and was made public last week, in time for two information sessions to be held in Yarrambat and Mill Park this week.

Key initiatives include completing the

shared cycling and walking path, Plenty River Trail, from Doreen in the north to University Hill in the south, a distance of about 15 kilometres.

A network of secondary trails to link Plenty River Trail to park entries and lookouts is also on the ‘to-do’ list.

�e dra� plan cites a need for park facilities and more community events at Hawkestowe, promotion of conservation of the Morang Wetlands and better use of the Nioka Bush Camp.

A southern river crossing, connecting

bene�t to the community. If we can improve access to recreational facilities in Plenty Gorge Park, and provide healthy parks, we can improve the health bene�ts in the community and encourage healthy people.”

Parks Victoria will receive comment on the dra� master plan until Friday, August 7.

Information sessions will be held on Saturday, July 25, 10am until noon, at Rivers of Yarrambat (garden centre entrance), 28 Kurrak Road, Yarrambat, and on Saturday, July 25, 1-3pm at Rivergum Village (supermarket entrance), Plenty Road, Mill Park.

Lightning speed downloads will soon be a reality for more than 36,000 houses in Melbourne’s north.

�e National Broadband Network’s latest map comes with an indicative timeline for the rollout over the next 18 months. Eventually, it will connect another 200,000 homes to high-speed broadband.

Last December, NBN Co announced that Craigieburn, Whittlesea and Sunbury were next in line for the rollout.

�e latest details reveal that work will begin in the �rst half of next year to construct a �xed line NBN service to about 19,200 houses at Craigieburn, Mickleham, Roxburgh Park, Somerton and Yuroke.

Diggers Rest and Sunbury connections will begin around the same time.

�e NBN’s July announcement also revealed that 2300 Eden Park and Whittlesea properties will also be connected, with construction to start in these suburbs as soon as this year.

NBN’s Greg Adcock said the expansion of the rollout re�ected the company’s new multi-technology approach and was an important step towards reaching the company’s goal of connecting eight million premises to the NBN network by 2020.

“Today, around one in 10 homes and businesses can connect to the NBN network,” Mr Adcock said.

Federal McEwen MP Rob Mitchell wasn’t quite so impressed.

“�e people of Doreen, Mernda, StAndrews, Seymour and Beveridge can already prove that the Abbott government has broken its promise that every Australian would have access to the NBN by 2016,” he said.

Wurundjeri elders paced a section of the proposed rail corridor to South Morang last week as part of preparations for the Mernda rail extension.

Elders Allan Wandin, Ron Jones and Robert Mullins walked the tracks near Old Plenty Road, along with Yan Yean MP Danielle Green and Mill Park MP Lily D’Ambrosio, last Tuesday to assess the route’s cultural heritage value.

Wurundjeri Tribe Land Cultural Heritage Council members will walk the entire length of the proposed rail extension progressively.

Public Transport Victoria (PTV) has enlisted Dr Vincent Clarke and the elders to prepare a

cultural heritage management plan, an essential prerequisite for any signi�cant changes to land use in culturally sensitive areas.

Ms D’Ambrosio said the support of traditional owners was critical to the project’s success. “I would like to acknowledge and thank the traditional land owners, the Wurundjeri people,” she said.

“�e start of cultural heritage assessment is an important milestone for the Mernda rail project, which will deliver train services to thousands in the Mernda-Doreen growth corridor.”

Ecological surveys have already been completed and PTV representatives last week

surveyed South Morang train commuters about the best location for the new second station.

Community workshops will be held over the next two weeks. PTV is also seeking public input into how to best integrate the new Mernda station into its surrounds.

Workshops will start on Tuesday, July 21, 7-8.30pm, at Marymede Catholic College, 60 Williamsons Road, South Morang.

�e next will be on Sunday, July 26, 11.30am-1.30pm, at the Whittlesea community activity centre, 57-61 Laurel Street, Whittlesea.

And Mernda Village community activity centre will host a workshop on Sunday, August2, 11.30am-1.30pm.

When Essendon Football Club made the decision to set up camp at Tullamarine, it soon became aware of the growing Indian migrant community moving in up the road.

So last year, the club decided to involve this sports-mad community in the great game of AFL, building a multicultural Auskick centre at Craigieburn, writing weekly articles in Hindi and even broadcasting Essendon’s round eight match last season in Hindi and Punjabi on Fox Footy.

And its investments have paid o�.For the �rst time, the Craigieburn

multicultural Auskick centre is running its own weekly program without help from the club.

Essendon’s multicultural development o�cer, Salim Mahazi, says it’s been a slow transition since the club established its multicultural strategy two years ago.

“�is is the �rst 10-week term that they’ve taken full responsibility of the Auskick program,” he said.

�ere are now six Indian coaches and more than 100 children from Craigieburn registered on the AFL’s Auskick members database.

“Since moving to Tullamarine, we’ve come to the realisation that there’s a huge, emerging Indian community in the north-west, who have virtually no involvement in football or knowledge of how to get involved in the sport,” Mr Mahazi said.

�is year the club will hold a round entirely dedicated to the Indian community. Round eight has been dubbed the ‘Embrace India Round’ and will feature Indian dance, cooking and culture and a visit from mid�elder Dyson Heppell at Auskick on Wednesday, July 29.

Whittlesea council has made a submission to a discussion paper on the future of apartment design in Victoria, hoping it will lead to the elimination of dark, tiny “dog boxes”.

Planning Minister Richard Wynne has released the paper and sought input on how to shape apartment design and address concerns about poorly built complexes.

�e submissions will inform a new set of guidelines that it’s hoped will improve internal design, amenity and functionality of apartments in the state.

In the City of Whittlesea, an increasing number of planning applications are being submitted to the council for apartments in both established and newly developed areas of the city.

�e council’s submission, made public last week, is based on four planning applications and their subsequent building, either completed or under construction and which demonstrate a range of apartment building developments. �e discussion paper asked that submissions focus on access to daylight, space, natural ventilation, noise, outdoor space, waste and carparking.

Whittlesea director of planning and major projects Steve O’Brien said in the council submission that it was preferable that secondary spaces such as bathrooms and internal passageways receive daylight to reduce reliance on arti�cial lighting.

New CFA recruit Sam Dash recalls the rigorous assessments he and 29 other graduates had to pass before earning their �re�ghting stripes.

“�e �rst thing you do is a beep test, then an aptitude test, then an interview, then a psychological assessment where you’re asked about 500 questions,” he continues. “�en a physical aptitude test and then a �nal interview before a panel.”

�e former project manager and personal trainer appears to thrive on the mental and physical challenges thrown his way. Last Wednesday, a group of 30 recruits with families and friends gathered at the Craigieburn state training centre for a graduation ceremony.

CFA chief o�cer Euan Ferguson said the new �reys would be working alongside more than 850 career �re�ghters in some of the busiest and

fastest-growing areas of the state. “�ey have made a serious commitment to the protection of lives and property in our communities, and today’s event is all about acknowledging and celebrating that,” he said.

At 27, Mr Dash is one of three new graduate �re�ghters at the Greenvale station.

He says he’s looking forward to his new posting a�er 19 weeks of training. And while these weeks may have been physically demanding, Dash describes the course as one of the best things he’s ever done.

“One week, we went to the Bendigo mines and climbed down a mine sha�. When am I going to be able to do that again? Sometimes you just pinch yourself.”

Split opinions welcomedBy Matt Crossman

Transition auditors reviewing Sunbury’s planned separation from Hume say they’ve welcomed the opportunity to hear di�erent points of view in the lead-up to a public meeting.

John Watson and Frank Vincent have sat down with residents and community groups in recent weeks a�er o�ering face-to-face meetings as part of the consultation phase of the review process.

�e meetings follow the release of information sheets outlining details of the 2013 poll that led to Sunbury’s secession and the potential impact on rates in Sunbury and Hume, service delivery and population growth.

Mr Watson, the Brimbank council chairman of administrators, and Mr Vincent, a former judge of the Supreme Court, were appointed by the state government in March with a brief to review the Sunbury split.

�e former Liberal government had gazetted papers for the creation of a new Sunbury council to start on July 1 this year.

In a statement, Mr Watson and Mr Vincent encouraged Sunbury and Hume residents to again share their views at this Friday’s meeting at Sunbury Memorial Hall.

�e auditors have promised to report back to the government before August 31.

‘‘�is is an issue that will a�ect the local community now and well into the future, and we encourage everyone with an interest in the separation of Sunbury to also make a formal submission before July 29,’’ they said.

‘‘Your submissions addressing questions arising from our community information and engagement program are fundamental to our report and recommendations.’’

Mr Watson and Mr Vincent have downplayed calls to ensure security guards are present at the public meeting.

�e calls came a�er the previous public meeting on the controversial subject led to �ery disputes between members of the public and a probe into the alleged misbehaviour of Sunbury-based councillors Jack Medcra� and Jack Ogilvie. �e pair, who fronted two investigations, complained they were “ambushed” by agitators waving placards at last September’s meeting at Broadmeadows Town Hall.

Earlier this month, Cr Medcra� said a strong security presence was needed to prevent a repeat of what happened last year.

“I hope it doesn’t turn into an event where people are targeted because their views are di�erent from that of others,’’ he said.

Friday’s meeting, at which the auditors will present an overview and answer questions, will be led by an independent facilitator. �e meeting will at Sunbury Memorial Hall from 7pm. Submissions can be emailed to [email protected]

Grazier Greg Heffernan (pictured) became particularly wary of the dangers posed by his 70 horsepower Massey Ferguson tractor when he started teaching his children how to operate the heavy machine. “It’s got a roll bar, but it doesn’t have a cabin,” he said, which leaves the driver more exposed if something goes awry. The Beveridge farmer runs cattle on his 220-hectare property just off the Hume Highway, a spot that hit national headlines in the run-up to the federal election �ve years ago when Mr Heffernan used a plough to carve ‘ALP OUT’ in screaming capitals. He ploughed the letters using his tractor but described the exercise as extremely dangerous. He’s now keen to spread the message about taking extra care around tractors following the release of state government �gures that show more than 10 farmers are injured every week on Victorian farms. National Farm Safety Week starts July 20, and the state government is urging farmers to be cautious when using heavy machinery. Details: www.farmsafe.org.au Lexi Cottee

Early-years hub under wayWork will begin on Whittlesea council’s newest $4.15 million child and family centre in Wollert this month. Due to open early next year, Champions Parade Child and Family Centre will help meet increasing demand for kindergarten and family services in the rapidly growing suburb. Once built, the centre will offer three kindergarten rooms to accommodate up to 260 three and four-year-olds, maternal and child health and allied health services, a multi-purpose planning room and early- intervention services for children with disabilities.

Councillor rememberedWhittlesea councillors gave the go-ahead last Tuesday to naming the park at 245 Gordons Road in South Morang the Nicola Davis Conservation Reserve. The late Cr Davis served as a north ward councillor between 2012 and 2014 and was a much-loved and active member of the Whittlesea community. The proposal now needs approval from the state government’s Of�ce of Geographic Place Names.

Shaping BroadmeadowsHume council wants input on people’s priorities for housing and development to help shape the designs of architectural students working on housing and community plans for Broadmeadows as part of the Together 3047 project.

Kevin Potter collects food donations for emergency relief. (Damjan Janevski)

By Lexi Cottee

�e Potters’ garage has resembled the aisles of a supermarket for more than 30 years now.

Pastor Kevin Potter and his wife Robyn collect non-perishable food and toiletries to hand out in emergency relief parcels to people in need.

And this winter has been no di�erent to others. A�er the Christmas rush for food parcels subsided, the Potters began their preparation for the coldest months of the year when need for emergency relief spikes.

�e Epping couple help store food collected for Whittlesea Community Connections’ (WCC) emergency relief program.

�e former Bacchus March pastor now calls the food bank his ‘ministry’. “I’m a pastor, and the boss told me to feed the people,” he said.

In the two months to June 30, 675 people came to WCC asking for emergency relief. WCC’s client services team leader, Peta Fualau, said almost 39 per cent had had to be turned away. She said federal government cuts to emergency relief funding had le� WCC 24 per cent worse o�, �nancially, this year. “So we have had to change the level of assistance we can provide,” Ms Fualau said.

�e organisation’s emergency relief network is asking for donations of non-perishable foods, such as pasta, sauces, lentils, rice, chickpeas, canned tomatoes, split peas, co�ee and tea, and anything with a long shelf-life for its July food drive. Pastor Potter also requested donations of toiletries and halal-certi�ed foods. “We have a lot of refugees around here from Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt and Afghanistan so the need for halal food grows,” he said. Donations can be le� at Mill Park MP Andrew Giles’ o�ce, at Whittlesea Community Connections, Epping Plaza, or at Appret Café, Doreen.

Every time Natasa Jesic goes to the supermarket, she puts a pack of tampons in her trolley.

Since signing up her Mill Park home this month to join the list of more than 100 drop-o� points for donated tampons and pads, Ms Jesic has built up a collection of sanitary items to hand over to new charity, the Melbourne Period Project.

�e 28-year-old stumbled upon the charity online and was struck by its compassionate raison d’être: to ensure homeless women don’t have to experience the humiliation of menstruating without tampons or pads.

“We’re all women; we should be helping each other,” Ms Jesic said.

�e hospital clerk has a box outside her house for anyone in the Mill Park area also wanting to donate. It’s one of a number of drop-o� points in Melbourne’s north.

People have also put their hands up to collect donated sanitary items at Bundoora, Craigieburn, Doreen, Epping, Mernda, Riddells Creek, South Morang, Sunbury and Tullamarine.

�e charity was launched by Victorians Donna Stolzenberg and Nat Cruz.

“Imagine having to ask a stranger for sanitary products, even if that stranger is there to help,” Ms Stolzenberg said.

Details and drop-o� locations are online at www.melbourneperiodproject.org.au.

Reduced travel times are in sight for people who use Mickleham Road to access the M80 or Tullamarine Freeway.

�e busy Mickleham Road interchange will be upgraded as part of a $1.3 billion widening of the Tullamarine Freeway, according to a plan announced last Friday by Sunbury MP Josh Bull.

“We all know how unsafe the tra�c weaving and stop-start conditions are as the cars are trying to get o� and on to the freeway,” Mr Bull said.

�e upgrade will ensure residents who live in the north-west are able to access the Tullamarine Freeway more quickly and safely.

An additional lane will be added from Mickleham Road to the M80 and another lane from the Tullamarine Freeway to the M80 will be elevated to cross over Mickleham Road.

A new lane will be built for Mickleham Road at the entrance to the Tullamarine Freeway to increase capacity.

During peak hour, the Mickleham Road entrance to the Tullamarine Freeway is

Freeway ‘weavers’ put straight

known to bank up for kilometres as drivers head into the city.

Motorists are forced to weave in and out of lanes as they try to get o� the Tullamarine Freeway and on to the M80 or on to the Tulla from Mickleham Road. �e new lanes will separate these motorists.

�e project is just one aspect of CityLink’s

Tulla Widening project, which involves upgrading 23.8 kilometres of the CityLink Tullamarine Freeway corridor between Melbourne Airport and Power Street in Southbank.

�e corridor is one of Melbourne’s most heavily used routes, carrying about 210,000 cars and trucks every day.

�e project is expected to increase the route’s capacity by up to 30 per cent and reduce travel times by as much as 17 per cent in peak travel periods.

Public information sessions to detail the changes will be held in coming months.

To the east of Wallan, towering concrete pillars rise from the earth. For a moment, the scene resembles Stonehenge … but the 182 pylons are in fact the foundations for Yarra Valley Water’s new $20 million sewage treatment plant. Construction began on the new plant, wedged between the rail line and the Hume freeway, in May. Once complete, the plant will service the northern growth corridor stretching from Craigieburn to Wallan, as well as new Mandalay developments. Yarra Valley Water managing director Pat McCafferty said the plant upgrade was needed to meet the needs of the growing outer northern suburbs. “As the northern region continues to grow, it’s important that the infrastructure keeps up,” he said. The plant currently services Wallan, Wallan East, Beveridge, Wandong and Heathcote Junction. Construction is expected to �nish next year. The plant will also supply recycled water once it’s operating. Lexi Cottee

Whether you are a boutique beer brewer, a conserver of preserves or someone who likes to make

their own wines, The Artisans Bottega caters for makers and tasters alike.

Formerly known as Cellar Plus, this family business has sold the highest quality culinary equipment and home-manufacturing products since 1972.

The Artisans Bottega has an extensive range of specialised equipment and stocks of durable and quality brands.

“As we are importers and wholesalers, customers won’t �nd better value, performance and reliability anywhere else,” managing director Stefano Baggio says.

“Buy once, buy right, and at a competitive price.”

All Artisans Bottega staff pride themselves on quality customer service. They teach correct fermentation processes, meat curing and olive oil extraction at regular classes and demonstrations. These include equipment demonstrations, master classes and in-house wine testing.

“We learnt long ago that teaching product knowledge and service is the easiest part, but �nding staff who work with their heads and hearts is paramount to giving good customer service,” Stefano says.

As a seasonal business, The Artisan’s Bottega regularly changes its shelf stock.

“Cooking and the preserving of foods is on the rise … it is also a way for families to come together,” Stefano says.

“Plus it often tastes far better than what is available at the supermarkets.”

The store has several winter specials to put the culinary skills of home cooks to the test.

An arancini mould, for $47.90, produces perfectly shaped risotto balls.

The Equippro – a fully stainless-steel, six-kilogram, sausage-maker – enables customers to prepare their own sausages. This was originally $499 but is now $369.

The 220mm Italian Essedue salami meat slicer – available in black, red, alloy or silver – is priced from $539.

And the Italian, Rover wine and water transfer pump is $179.

From generation to generation, the Montalto men of Melbourne have been entrusted with the techniques of

traditional cheese-making.That Montalto tradition continues to this

day as Floridia Cheese thrives in the world of authentic Italian cheese as an industry benchmark for consistency and quality.

Like many of his forefathers, Mauro Montalto was passionate about cheese.

When he emigrated to Australia in 1952, Mauro used his skills and love of cheese to produce traditional Italian varieties for friends and grocery shops.

By 1955, the demand for his cheeses had grown signi�cantly and Floridia Cheese was well and truly established.

It is now Australia’s most respected traditional Italian cheese manufacturer, producing up to 2500 tonnes a year.

In 2015, the company won the Champion Cheese Australian Grand Dairy Award for its ricotta and pecorino cheese, and it has won an array of other accolades.

From ricotta to fetta, mozzarella and various semi-hard and hard cheeses, Floridia Cheese offers an extensive range sure to please every palate.

Floridia uses advanced technology and the freshest ingredients to maintain the highest quality.

It guarantees that the entire manufacturing process follows strict hygiene and safety standards.

All Floridia Cheese products are

monitored and tested to ensure there is no contamination.

The dedication and passion Mauro Montalto harnessed when developing Floridia Cheese 60 years ago is a tradition that continues today.

Floridia Cheese is still growing, ensuring that future generations will enjoy exceptional quality traditional Italian cheese long into the future.

The company is this year celebrating 60 years of dedication and service to customers and the community.

Peter Lalor Vocational College is a secondary college offering high quality vocational education for

students in years 10 through to year 12. The college’s aim is to get its students

job-ready and to this end it provides Victorian Certi�cates of Applied Learning (VCAL) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses which focus on speci�c trades.

Students study an integrated curriculum that includes literacy, numeracy and work-related and personal development skills.

Additionally, students choose a vocational trade course. They attend VCAL classes three days a week, a VET class one day a week and work with an employer one day a week.

The college incorporates an adult education learning model to help raise students’ con�dence and build resilience by focusing on the skills required to succeed in the workforce.

These include proper communication, teamwork, problem-solving and self-management.

Principal Paul Ryan has more than 30 years’ experience as a teacher and hopes to make a difference through his teaching and leadership.

“I strongly believe in the value of VCAL and applied technical learning,” Mr Ryan says.

“I think it’s a better pathway than VCE for many of our youth.”

The dedicated teaching staff at Peter Lalor Vocational College are specialists in applied learning.

With a strong wellbeing team, career support and community and business

partnerships, Peter Lalor Vocational College aims to help students reach their goals.

Enrolments for 2016 have now opened and there will be an open day and information night at the college on July 29.

Peter Lalor Vocational College, 35 Duncan Road, Lalor. Opens 9am-4pm Monday-Friday. Inquiries: 9464 0122 or www.peterlalor.vic.edu.au

Believing Australians deserve nothing less than excellence, Turi Foods is committed to providing customers

with exceptional products and quality service at an affordable price.

In 1967, then 19-year-old Sam Cuteri arrived on the docks in Port Melbourne from his home in Calabria, Italy. With little experience, Sam began working at Peter Pan Poultry, a small chicken processor in South Morang.

Two years later, he returned to Italy to marry his �ancée Maria, who later joined him in Australia.

In 1975, the couple set up their own poultry business, of�cially bringing the European method of air chilling to Australia.

Operating in Melbourne’s northern suburbs for more than 40 years, the family business has grown to include 15 free-range farms which produce about 1.3 million eggs a week.

Marketed under brands such as Bannockburn Free Range and Golden Farms, Turi Foods processes one million chickens each week for distribution Australia-wide.

And it has branched out to produce authentic Italian cheeses using only the �nest of ingredients. Products such as mascarpone, bocconcini, ricotta and mozzarella are produced at the company’s modern cheese production plant in Thomastown. Up to 100,000 litres of product each week is supplied to customers across Australia and South-East Asia.

Turi Foods continues to embrace change by keeping up with industry advancements and introducing new technology.

All breeding chickens are farmed under strict biosecurity requirements so stock are

disease-free, producing clean, high-quality eggs.

Turi Foods is proud to be part of the northern community and regularly takes part in, and sponsors, events.

In 2010, the Turi Trust was established to help people in need. To date, the trust has donated more than $500,000 to the local community.

Turi Foods Pty Ltd, 5 Lipton Drive, Thomastown. Opens 8am-5pm Monday-Friday, 8am-1pm Saturday, and 8am-noon Sunday. Inquiries: 9495 5300 or www.turifoods.com.au

Craigieburn needs to �nd its spark, and quickly, if it wants to be a �nals contender in the Essendon District Football League’s division 1.

�e Eagles won their �rst 10 games of the season but have lost two of the past three.

In the process, they have looked a shadow of their former selves and no longer hold top spot.

Coach Peter Bugden says the team needs to get back to basics.

A cheekbone injury to Jason Cloke against Essendon’s Doutta Stars three rounds ago was a turning point, Bugden believes.

“It’s been tough losing Jason,” the coach said.

“He’s a warrior and a leader on the ground, but he probably isn’t going to be back this season.

“�e other players are starting to come to terms with that.”

Losing Cloke means the Eagles have had to change their set-up.

“Jason is the third-leading goalkicker in the competition,” Bugden said.

“Missing him puts more pressure on Cam [Cloke]. He’s doing a wonderful job and kicked �ve of our six goals on the weekend.

“But it’s hard to win with only one big focal point.”

Bugden says it’s not just the goals that have dried up.

“Other teams have worked hard against us.

“We’ve fallen away in the mid�eld and defensively.

“�ere’s a lack of con�dence. We’re �t enough; it’s more about whether we can stay strong mentally.”

Bugden says trying to �nish second and get the double chance is the aim.

“Whether we �nish �rst or second is irrelevant.

“We’ve made big inroads this season. We’d won �ve games in �ve years, and we’ve already won 11 games this season.

“We’re at a low point of the season and we need to rebuild.”

Reinforcing his back-to-basics mantra, the coach says: “If the guys want to play as individuals we’ll get beaten by any team in the top four.”

�is week, the Eagles play East Keilor.Victory would all but seal a top-two

spot, with a bye the week a�er.Westmeadows did its �nals hopes

no harm with a handy victory over Tullamarine.

�e Tigers led from the opening quarter but weren’t able to shut the Demons out of the game completely.

�e Tigers did enough to win 12.11 (83) – 9.10 (64).

Roden Aldridge and Robert Mullen kicked three goals each for the Tigers, while Justin Marcy booted three for the Demons.

Mitchell Church, who kicked two goals for the Tigers, was also best on ground.

�e fourth-placed Tigers are now six points clear of the ��h-placed Demons.

In premier division, Greenvale had the bye due to a split round.

Eagles seek spark to keep hopes alive

By Tara Murray

Roxburgh Park has proved that Had�eld is beatable, handing the Essendon District Football League division 2 ladder leader its �rst loss of the season.

�e Hawks were outrun and outplayed by the Magpies for their 13.4 (82) - 7.14 (56) win.

Before the game, a 30-point loss for Coburg Districts was the closest anyone had come to the Hawks.

Magpies coach Paul Reddick saw the result as his side �nally putting its best foot forward when it counts, at the season’s pointy end.

“It was our most consistent performance this year, even though the boys lost touch with their men in the second quarter,” Reddick said.

“Against an undefeated side, you need to run hard and be listening to instructions, and the players did play to them.”

Going into the last quarter with the Magpies

Pies clip Hawks’ wings19 points up, Reddick was con�dent his team would run the stronger and win.

“�ey were kicking to the scoring end and we knew we had to stick to our guns and keep running hard.

“We knew we had to score goals, too; not just defend.”

Jayden Walker kicked �ve goals for the Magpies.

Anthony Omogrosso and Luke Capuano were among the best, along with second gamer Mitchell Kerslake.

�e win means the Magpies remain in second spot, two games clear of ��h-placed Moonee Valley.

“We still have to play the sides that are third, fourth and ��h on the ladder in the run home,” Reddick said. “If we keep winning games, then our �nals hopes are in our own hands. If we lose, we’re at the mercy of others.”

Reddick is hoping last year’s experience of

grand �nal action will help players deal with the pressure of winning big games.

“We’re a chance of beating anyone if we play our best football each week.

“If we can do what we did against Had�eld, we’re a chance. You need to be playing your best football at this time of year.

“We messed up at this time last year and, hopefully, we’ve learnt from that.”

Reddick is hoping the club can avoid its forwards’ injury curse in the run home. Tim Blacker and Matt Walker missed the weekend’s match, but Reddick hopes to get them back before �nals.

Jacana, still in the �nals �ght, did its hopes no harm with a 19.15 (129) – 8.7 (55) win over Moonee Valley.

�e win also puts two games between the Jaguars and ��h-placed Moonee Valley. �e Jaguars are third, only percentage behind Roxburgh Park.

Ranges juniors have a capital timeA Whittlesea under-10 soccer team was among the title winners at what’s claimed to be the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest junior soccer tournament.

�e Kanga Cup, contested earlier this month in Canberra during the second week of the school holidays, had more than 340 teams and 7000 children competing in the tournament’s 25th year.

For the �rst time, the Ranges entered a team, with its side having been one of 16 teams in the under-10s male plate section.

�e plate section was the middle of the three under-10 competitions, which were based on di�erent skill levels. �ere are male and female sections from under-9s to under-18s.

Ranges coach Fortch Renda said they had decided to enter the plate section as they were unsure what level the team was at compared with the rest of the Kanga Cup entrants.

�e Whittlesea under-10 team plays in the Kangaroos under-10 north-west competition.

“We decided in March to enter and all the parents of the kids got leave so it could happen,” Renda said.

“We’re the only team from the Ranges that entered … we thought it was a good experience to have a week away playing soccer.”

�e Ranges won their three pool games without conceding a goal.

“We’ve been preparing since March using the local competition and have trained to handle di�erent conditions and teams,” Renda said. “�ere was a huge amount of faith and con�dence.”

�e Ranges won their �rst knockout round match 3-1 against Wanniassa before defeating Northbridge 3-2 in a semi-�nal.

�ey defeated Balmain DFC 5-0 in the �nal.�e Ranges led 1-0 at half-time before going

on a goalscoring spree that earned them the title.

“�e kids were over the moon,” Renda said. “�ey were running around and jumping on each other.

“It will remain with them for the rest of their lives.”

Renda says everyone involved is already talking about returning next year.

Half of this year’s squad were under-9s, making the Ranges one of the younger sides in their competition.

“Our goal is to stay together for a number of years,” Renda said.

“�e feedback and support have been amazing and we already have plans for under-9sand under-10s to play in the tournament next year.”

Hume City is out of the Dockerty Cup a�er a 2-0 loss to Oakleigh Cannons in the semi-�nals on �ursday night.

�e Cannons put the pressure on early with two �rst-half goals and it was enough to get past City.

City dominated much of the play but struggled to gain attacking chances at goal, while the Cannons made the most of their counter-attacks.

�e Cannons will play South Melbourne in the �nal.

City’s National Premier League clash with South Melbourne, due to be played on Sunday, has been postponed and will be played on August 19 at Lakeside Stadium.

City’s next match is on Saturday against Green Gully at Green Gully Reserve.

In NPL 1, Whittlesea Ranges was held to a 0-0 draw by Nunawading City.

It was a wasteful performance by the Ranges, which allowed Nunawading City to get its �rst point of the season.

It was the �rst time this year that Nunawading City had kept a clean sheet.

�e Ranges now have only one win from their past six games.

In FFV state league 2 north-west, Sporting Whittlesea kept in touch with the top two sides with a 1-0 win over Fitzroy City.

Sporting Whittlesea sits third on the ladder, six points behind Moreland United.

Elsewhere in state league 2 north-west, Hume United lost to Essendon United 3-1. Essendon led 1-0 at half-time before hammering home two second-half goals to seal the win.

Essendon United remains seven points outside the relegation zone.

Whittlesea United took the points against La Trobe University in the state league 3 north-west game.

Scores were level 2-2 at half-time, but United slotted home more goals to win 4-3. Vehbi Karabulut, Alptekin Kalayci, Tansel Baser and Emin Sele were the goalscorers for United, and Joseph San Martin scored a double for University.

Up�eld lost the battle of third versus fourth, going down to Williamstown 2-1, but remains in fourth spot.

Lalor United lost to North City Wolves 4-0.

In state league 4 north, Bundoora United defeated Greenvale United 5-3, while Northern United lost 5-1 to West Preston.

�e match between Plenty Valley Lions and FC Strathmore was called o� due to the condition of the ground and will be rescheduled.

Early goals give Oakleigh winning edge

By Tara Murray

Former AFL player Chris Johnson couldn’t have lived with himself if his junior football club had gone by the wayside without him doing anything to prevent it.

Having coached Avondale Heights in the Essendon District Football League premier division, Johnson last season made the decision to return to division 2 side Jacana.

“My brother and dad were down at the club last year,” the Brisbane triple-premiership player said last week.

“Drastic measures were in place at the club. I decided I would walk away from premier division and come back to Jacana and help out in any way I could. Living around the corner from my junior club and watching it struggle, it didn’t sit well with me.”

He played four games last season due to work commitments but has played eight games this season so far.

“I’ve been able to commit to the club more this year.

“�ere is a good vibe around the place a�er

Johnson back to helpChris Johnson is enjoying being back at Jacana. (Shawn Smits)

it has had a fair whack in recent years. We are starting to get good results.”

Johnson has seen some big improvements at the club since returning.

“�e consistency level on the �eld has increased, as has the willingness of the players wanting to improve.

“�ere’s been a huge jump in attitudes.“We’ve recruited four to �ve new players as

well as getting other players back to the club who played their junior footy at the club.

“�at’s one of the biggest things. People want to play here.”

As well as playing eight games this year, Johnson has provided leadership and support to �rst-year coach Aaron Collins.

“A team is only as good as the resources that it has at its �ngertips,” Johnson said.

“I’ve coached for a number of years and I’m happy to help Aaron.

“If I can help him on game day … then I will to take some of the slack o� him and help build on players’ leadership skills.”

Johnson’s involvement in the EDFL doesn’t end with Jacana, he has taken up a position

as one of the league’s regional development managers.

“I was made redundant from the diversity unit with the AFL. I wanted to stay in football and applied for this job and was lucky to get the role.

“�e region I cover includes Moonee Valley, Brimbank and Melton. It doesn’t include Jacana.

“I’m working with Auskick co-ordinators and district managers trying to get more kids involved in football.

“It has been quite rewarding. I’m very passionate about young kids and communities and getting them involved in sport.”

Back on the �eld, the AFL back pocket player is reacquainting himself with a role he knew well at Jacana.

“I’ve played forward last four weeks, a little bit closer to goal. It’s been a change in role as Aaron keeps mixing things up.

“I played forward as a junior at Jacana so it is familiar to me. I’ve kicked some goals, but missed my fair share which is the backman in me.”

Epping makes the most of fresh legs as �nals beckonFor Epping, coming o� a bye was a blessing in Northern Football League division 3 on Saturday.

A�er leading at the �rst two breaks, the Pingers trailed Watsonia by 13 points at the �nal change at AK Lines Reserve.

Fresh legs came into play for the Pingers in the �nal quarter as they scored 2.6 to 1.1 to win 7.14 (56) - 7.10 (52).

Epping coach Steve Power said he knew his players’ fresh legs would help on a soggy surface.

“I questioned the guys’ endeavours at three-quarter time,” he said. “We then came out and dominated the last quarter. �ey

had a few chances in the last quarter, but our backline held up really well.

“In the end, we kicked 2.6 but it could easily have been 4.4 or 6.2.”

Power said his side was keen to get the win a�er losing its past two games heading into the bye.

“It’s been a long three weeks with two losses and a bye,” he said. “We were keen to make amends … it was good to go out and play a full four quarters.”

Daniel Moore kicked �ve goals for the Pingers and was adjudged best on ground.

“Joel Dunmore had a really good game,” Power said.

“Leigh Judd helped hold the backline together, while Peter McMahon was another who did a good job.”

�e win puts the Pingers in fourth spot, three games clear of ��h-placed Banyule with four rounds remaining.

“We need a couple of things to fall our way this week to secure our �nals spot,” Power said.

If and when the Pingers secure a spot in the top four, they will pursue a possible top-of-the-ladder �nish.

�e Pingers are only one game behind the top two sides.

“�ere’s a game between �rst and fourth, but

our percentage will be a bit of an issue,” Power said.

“First or second – it doesn’t matter which spot, and the same with third and fourth spot as there isn’t home ground advantage.

“We want to get over Heidelberg West this week and then think about where we may �nish come �nals.”

Ladder leader South Morang had a bye and remains equal on points with second-placed Watsonia.

�ere were no games in divisions 1 and 2 as both competitions had bye rounds.
