Foster care in short supplyBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN ‘At any one time, 10-12 of the

carers would be on leave sothey’re not active. Often we onlyhave two-thirds available.’

— Kay Gyngell

ANGLICARE Victoria in Broadmeadows hassent out an SOS to Hume residents to becomefoster carers.

The call comes as the nation marks NationalChild Protection Week, which ends onSaturday.

Anglicare recruitment and support workerKay Gyngell says the organisation now has 42carers in Hume and would like that numberincreased by at least 30.

‘‘At any one time, 10-12 of the carers wouldbe on leave so they’re not active. Often we onlyhave two-thirds available,’’ she said.

‘‘Most of our places are always full. It’s very

hard when a referral for a child may come inand we frequently have nothing.’’

Anglicare is the only foster care agency ded-icated to the Hume area apart from statewidegovernment agencies. More carers are neededin the city to fill the gaps when children areadmitted into care in emergency situations.

Children are placed in foster care for a rangeof reasons. Some are removed from their par-ents for reasons including domestic violenceand drug abuse, while some children might betemporarily homeless or have an ill parent.

Sue decided to‘give it a go’

Reaching out: Sue Bailey loves to be a ‘mum’ for children in foster care. Picture: Matthew Furneaux

FIFTEEN years ago, Sunbury’s Sue Baileywould never have imagined she would ‘playmum’ to more than 50 children.

In 1997, she and her husband Bill decided tojoin the ranks of foster carers with AnglicareVictoria in Broadmeadows.

The Baileys, who have six children of theirown, have been involved in short and long-term and emergency care.

They’ve had some children for a weekend,others for several years.

Mrs Bailey decided to become a carer afterthinking about who would raise her own chil-dren if she was unable to.

‘‘We came over from England with two chil-dren and had no family here. I alwayswondered what would happen to the childrenif something bad happened to us,’’ she said.

‘‘I knew my family would come over andhave the children, but I knew that would take awhile. I wanted to know someone would behere for them in the meantime. I’ve alwaysliked looking after other people’s children.’’

Currently, Mrs Bailey is caring for a two-week-old baby, indefinitely.

She’s encouraging other Hume residents toconsider being a foster carer. ‘‘I’m alwayssaying to people to give it a go. It doesn’t

always work out, but there’s always help outthere and the caseworkers come out to makesure the baby is fine. If there’s anything youneed they help, and there are training sessionsyou can attend.’’

Anglicare’s north-west home-based caremanager Jan Alexander said a pool of emer-gency carers was vital to give children a safeenvironment at short notice. “If we could build

our pool of accredited carers who are availableeven just occasionally for a night or a few daysat short notice, it would make such adifference.’’

Council rejects objections to units planBY TARA MURRAY

HUME Council has approved plans for twodouble-storey homes in Sunbury despite objec-tions from residents and two councillors.

The council last week granted a permit toArchitectural Plans and Permits to build thedwellings at the rear of a house in Tulsa Drive.

Jackson Ward councillors Ann Potter and JackOgilvie voted against the proposal.

Councillors Adem Atmaca, Geoff Porter andDrew Jessop spoke in support, saying they had

no choice as the application met all planningregulations.

Cr Ogilvie didn’t agree with the officers’ reportthat the development was within ‘‘neighbour-hood character’’.

‘‘If you have a look at where the two units aregoing to go on this land it’s an overdevelopmentof the site.

‘‘There’s a few double-storey dwellings in thatwhole estate. I believe there are 900 houses inthat estate [but] I would say there is less thanfive-six double-storey dwellings.

‘‘All the way through [the officers’ report] itsays it fits in [with] the neighbourhood character,but it doesn’t, it is the exact opposite.’’

Cr Potter said: ‘‘I looked at the plans for thisdevelopment and I’ve seen similar developmentshappen over time and obviously in the past with-out any or few objections and they have nowbeen built.

‘‘They may fit guidelines, but I go past themand I now shudder.’’

The council received five objections from res-idents. Objector Scott Jones, who lives in a neigh-

bouring street, addressed the council meeting,saying the development didn’t fit in with theexisting properties and there wasn’t enoughparking.

‘‘The reason for our objection to the proposeddevelopment in Tulsa Drive is that the dwellingswill have direct views into our property. This willbe an invasion of our privacy.’’

Mr Jones told the Weekly he was unsurewhether they would take the matter to theVictorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

‘‘Most of the others have given up.’’

called on Hume Council ‘‘candidates to run

petty personal attacks, such as those that have

Tackling thetantrums

The way to go: Kerrie Bradburn, with her son Luke, 7, says the program will help parents manage behavioursof children with learning disability. Picture: Matthew Furneaux

PARENTS who have trouble managing theirchildren’s behaviour due to a developmentaldelay or disabilities can be involved in a free pilotprogram in Sunbury.

Signposts Capacity Building Project, being runby SPELD Victoria, is aimed at helping parents/carers to prevent or manage difficult behaviourof such children.

SPELD Victoria is one of only five state agen-cies to get funding from the Parenting ResearchCentre, a non-profit research and developmentorganisation, to run the program.

SPELD will run the program with the Sunburygroup Support and Opportunities for LearningDifficulties (SOLD).

SOLD president Kerrie Bradburn, a mother oftwo children with learning disabilities, said: ‘‘Thekids can get frustrated and act out [of character].

‘‘It is always good to enjoy family life, butsome behaviours that are inappropriate make ithard to go out.’’

She said the program wasn’t to direct parentsabout how to look after their children.

‘‘It will offer suggestions of what may work forthem. It’s to guide parents and it can be modifiedto suit them.

‘‘The program is aimed at primary schoolchil-

dren with a learning disability and will assist par-ents to manage behaviours.’’

She said programs like this and support groupsprovided parents a safe space where they couldtalk about their issues and seek help. ‘‘Some par-ents are afraid people will judge them based ontheir child’s behaviour. It can be frustrating forparents, so getting them together to share issuesand concerns can be quite therapeutic.”

SPELD Victoria chief executive Michele Sem-mens said the organisation had started trainingparent educators who would then take charge ofthe sessions. She said the program would run foreight weeks from this Saturday at GoonawarraNeighbourhood House.

Dogs impounded after attack on womanBY TARA MURRAY

TWO dogs have been impounded following anattack in Sunbury last Wednesday that left awoman in hospital.

The victim, who was visiting a friend’s housein Scott Street at the time of the attack, was takento the Royal Melbourne Hospital and required100 stitches for her facial injuries.

Hume Council representatives and Sunburypolice visited the property a day after the attack

following a complaint from the victim’s family.“Hume Council can confirm it received a com-

plaint from a member of the community aboutan alleged dog attack in Sunbury,’’ city infra-structure director Steve Crawley said.

“The alleged incident occurred in Scott Street,Sunbury, on Wednesday, August 29. However, itwas reported to council on Thursday, August 30.

“Council officers, with the assistance of Vic-toria police, then seized and impounded twodogs from the property.

“An investigation into the incident iscontinuing.”

The Weekly believes the impounded dogs areregistered with the council as Staffordshire bullterriers and the council is investigating whetherone of the dogs is actually a pit bull.

Victoria Police spokeswoman Creina O’Gradysaid police attended to assist the council officerswho were issuing a warrant to seize the dogs.

She said the dogs were aggressive at the timethey were taken and while police were ready to

use capsicum spray, council officers were able tobring them under control before it was needed.

Under a law in Victoria which came into forcelast September, councils have the right to seizeand destroy unregistered restricted breeds thatare found roaming the streets or have causedinjury to an animal or person.

The legislation followed the fatal dog attackon four-year-old Ayen Chol in St Albans onAugust 17. American pit bull terriers and Perrode Presa Canario are restricted breeds.

‘No ball’ call as statue lickingbecomes harassment claim

Where it started: Jack Ogilvie with the Dennis Lilleebust in Sunbury. Picture: Matthew Furneaux

‘‘I think I sort of blew a kiss atDennis Lillee’s ear or side of hishead.’’ —Jack Ogilvie

HUME councillor Jack Ogilvie has denied claimshe suggestively licked a bust of cricket great Den-nis Lillee while eyeing a woman, resulting in asexual harassment allegation brought againsthim by the female council employee.

The allegation stemmed from a December2011 photo shoot at the unveiling of four sculp-tures of famous cricketers in Sunbury.

The female council employee alleged CrOgilvie crudely licked the ear of a Dennis Lilleebust while ‘‘suggestively’’ looking at her.

The complaint led to an investigation by thecouncil’s chief executive Domenic Isola.

Cr Ogilvie told the Weekly he was made awareof the allegation only after the media phoned himlast week.

But Mr Isola said: ‘‘In accordance with councilprocess, Cr Ogilvie was made aware of thecomplaint at the time it was made.’’

Cr Ogilvie denies any sexual harassment.He said he was just ‘‘messing around’’ on the

day.‘‘I think I sort of blew a kiss at Dennis Lillee’s

ear or side of his head. That was all thathappened.

‘‘It was jovial fun. We had photos taken of mepolishing his head.’’

Cr Ogilvie blamed ‘‘gutter politics’’ in the lead-

up to the October council elections for the leak ofinformation to the media.

‘‘This is the dirtiest campaign I’ve ever beenthrough,’’ he said.

Mr Isola said the matter was dealt with inDecember and was resolved in January with allcouncillors briefed on appropriate behaviour intheir roles.

‘‘There was an allegation made and subsequentaction was immediately undertaken by myself,’’he said. ‘‘As CEO, I treat these matters with theutmost seriousness and respect.’’

Ratepayers rap fireservice levy changeTHE state government’s changes to the fireservice levy have been met with mixed feelings byHume residents and council.

The government last week announced a newmodel to fund Victoria’s CFA and MFB services.

Under the new model, the insurance-basedlevy will be abolished from July 1 and willbecome a property-based levy, to be collected bythe council through annual rates. The levy willconsist of a fixed component of $100 for residen-tial properties and $200 for commercial,industrial, farming and vacant properties.

There will also be a variable charge, calculatedas a percentage of the capital improved value ofproperties.

Treasurer Kim Wells says households and busi-nesses in the state overall stand to be more than$100 million a year better off.

Craigieburn Residents’ Association presidentErik Dober described it as a step in the rightdirection but said the cost of emergency servicesshould not fall on ratepayers. ‘‘Home ownershave been penalised for getting insurance,’’ hesaid. ‘‘Those who were not insured were able tofree-ride the system. No one minds paying theirfair share for essential emergency services. Butthe state government should manage its financesso that it can pay for essential services.’’

Jamie helps make us healthierBY TARA MURRAY

SUNBURY Community Health Centre has joinedforces with the state government, Hume Counciland Broadmeadows Dianella Community Healthto spearhead the biggest push yet for healthierlifestyles in Hume.

Launched last Friday in Craigieburn by HealthMinister David Davis, the PreventionCommunity Model for Hume will focus ontackling preventable diseases, including heartdisease, obesity, chronic illness, and promoting ahealthier lifestyle.

Hume is one of 14 municipalities selected bythe government to be part of the program.

Mr Davis said it was a new initiative thataimed at improving the health and well-being ofHume residents ‘‘where they live, learn, workand play’’.

He said the program included setting up JamieOliver’s Ministry of Food mobile kitchen inHume to deliver cooking and nutrition programsto the community.

Health-promoting measures would be intro-duced in schools, early childhood services, work-places and communities.

“Tailored healthy living strategies will berolled out to target the underlying causes of

chronic diseases, addressing issues such as smok-ing, poor nutrition, alcohol misuse and physicalinactivity.”

Mayor Ros Spence said: “The health and well-

being of our residents has always been one ofcouncil’s priorities and the Prevention Com-munity Model gives us the opportunity to buildupon work already under way in Hume.’’


Disease issues cause concernBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

HUME tops the state average for cancer, diabetesand mental health cases, a new report shows.

The Better Health Plan for the West outlinesplans to tackle different diseases in eight localgovernment areas in Melbourne’s western andnorthern municipalities.

The plan is the result of collaboration betweenWestern Health, LeadWest, and Hume, Brim-bank, Melton, Hobsons Bay, Wyndham, Mari-byrnong, Moonee Valley and Mooraboolcouncils.

One of the main goals outlined is to educatepeople through workshops about better under-standing and managing of health issues.

Regional health literacy working groups willbe established under the guidance of supportservice HealthWest.

A western diversity advisory committee willlobby for state and federal government fundingfor allied health professionals and for theadoption of a national e-health strategy.

In the plan, Hume is shown to have the highestrate of cancer in 2007 with 2.6 per cent of thepopulation diagnosed, compared with the stateaverage of 0.4 per cent. Figures from 2008 show19.2 per cent of Hume’s population suffered

from high levels of psychological distress. Thestate average was 11.4 per cent.

Broadmeadows Dianella Community Healthclinical director Ralph Audehm said it was wellknown Hume had a lot of health issues and hehoped the plan would have an impact. ‘‘I’d loveto say that this plan will change things. They’retalking about a multi-pronged attack, which Ithink is great,’’ he said.

‘‘But it’s going to take resources and oftenplans like this fall down because of resources. Tomake a sustained change it takes a long time.’’

Dr Audehm said the main reason for high casesof preventable disease such as type 2 diabetes inHume was because some residents were low-income earners and lacked access to good food.

Hume Western Region Health Centre teamleader Bernard Heaney said lack of health ser-vices in Hume, especially in Sunbury, was aproblem.

‘‘Sunbury is fairly isolated with access to ser-vices, other than us [their office is in Sunbury]there is no specific mental health programs.’’

Uni’s campus site‘shouldn’t be sold’HUME councillor Ann Potter has expressed dis-appointment at the state government’s responseto concerns about the sale of Victoria Uni-versity’s Sunbury campus site.

The council wrote to Higher Education Min-ister Peter Hall on May 30 to seek clarificationsof the government’s position on the site.

On July 5, the council received a reply, whichwas tabled at last week’s council meeting.

VU announced earlier this year that it waslooking to sell the Jacksons Hill site.

At the council meeting, Cr Potter said it wasclear from the minister’s reply that the site ‘‘willeventually be sold and developed for whoknows what’’.

‘‘However, he said he wouldn’t approve thesale until post-secondary education is providedfor [Sunbury].

‘‘I think the majority of the population ofSunbury wish this property that Victoria Uni-versity currently owns remains in public handsand not be sold off.’’

Cr Jack Ogilvie said: ‘‘I don’t think a greatdeal is going to happen [in the near future] andas we have said in the past, we have to keep onlooking and if we can’t have a university therewe should get a training facility.’’

“At the moment I’m developing a tool that will help customers analyse their accounts, instead of staff using spreadsheets as they are currently doing. I have a lot of independence on this project. I have a supervisor and mentor and I can ask for help at any time I need it, but I am developing this particular tool myself”.

“Once the system is live, I will be responsible for its maintenance. If staff members have a problem with the system I will deal directly with them to fi nd a solution”.

The IIBIT (Industry Integrated Bachelor of Information Technology) cadetship program is a partnership between La�Trobe University and the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, Bendigo Community Telco, Bendigo IT, Community Telco Australia and Integrating Technology.

A life-long hobby building and fi xing computers began for Glenn Wells at the age of fi fteen. “There were some problems with an operating system I was using and I tried several times to get it fi xed at computer stores, I eventually gave up and worked out how to fi x it myself. I guess the best thing about IT is solving problems. I love that feeling you get when you fi nally get something to work”.

As a successful candidate for the IIBIT (Industry Integrated Bachelor of Information Technology) cadetship, Glenn is now studying the Bachelor of IT (Professional)

at La�Trobe University and working for Community Telco Australia.

Glenn says that the course’s strong focus on work experience gives it a unique and important edge over many other degrees. “A lot of graduates come out of IT courses with minimal experience working in the industry. IT courses give you grounding in theories and the basics of systems, but you also need to know how a business uses its technology. I think there is no better way to learn about a professional environment than to be training in it at the same time as studying the basics at uni”.

These meals in need of more wheels

BY TARA MURRAY

HUME’S council-run Meals onWheels program continues to grow,with volunteers visiting about 230 cli-ents, five days a week.

Co-ordinator Tilak Karunasekarasaid that when the program started 18months ago, meals were delivered toabout 200 homes.

He said there were now 17 volun-teers who travelled across Hume eachweek, and the council was looking formore of them.

‘‘We try to have people deliver mealsone day a week. That way more peoplecan volunteer,’’ he said.

‘‘There are a lot of young volun-teers, including quite a few uni stu-dents who keep coming back.’’

Last Friday was National Meals onWheels Day, which recognised thethousands of volunteers who deliver

food to elderly residents. ‘‘We havefour volunteers every day who travelfrom Sunbury and Bulla, through toBroadmeadows, Roxburgh Park,Greenvale and Craigieburn,’’ MrKarunasekara said.

‘‘Each person gets a three-coursemeal for their lunch and on Fridays wedeliver meals for the weekend too.’’

Mr Karunasekara said Hume,which received its meals from Altona’sCommunity Kitchen, also catered forthe dietary needs of those of Islamicfaith.

Carol Potts and Cameron Saundersare among the program’s volunteers.Mr Saunders, of Glenroy, began deliv-ering meals this year.

‘‘I needed to fill in time and I wantedto do some work for the community,’’he said.

‘‘I enjoy it and have met quite a fewdifferent people.’’

Ms Potts, of Meadow Heights, alsobegan volunteering at the start of theyear.

‘‘The people are lovely and they likethe company,’’ she said.

Street art rejectedBY TARA MURRAY

HUME Council has rejected plans to use streetart as a way to curb graffiti along the rail cor-ridor in Sunbury.

At a council meeting in June, Cr Jack Ogilviemooted the idea of painting street art onto build-ings prone to graffiti vandalism.

But at last week’s meeting, the council votedto support the officers’ recommendationsthat the ‘‘scoping of an arts-based response tograffiti management in Sunbury should notproceed’’.

Cr Ann Potter moved an amended motion forthe council to review the decision in 12 months,once the Sunbury electrification project is com-pleted.

Cr Potter said at present safety issues were thebiggest problem in addressing the issue.

‘‘At the moment, due to the electrification pro-cesses, it’s a construction zone.

‘‘I can understand the hesitation as it’s not safe,a little bit dangerous and essentially a worry thatpeople are getting in there to tag the buildingitself.

‘‘If we orchestrate our own program in a dan-gerous area, I don’t think it’s a good idea.’’

Cr Ogilvie supported the motion, but he said

the council should speak to the rail operatorsnow.

‘‘I asked for this report to come before thecouncil and the officers identified some issues,and what they are saying to us is they can’t do itbecause the issue [of the area] being in the railcorridor.

‘‘I can accept that, but I can’t accept that some-thing can’t be done with this building [at the backof a furniture store near the rail corridor].

‘‘I think we need to talk to the rail authorityand say ‘while you have it fenced off, are you ableto paint this wall or get the owners to pay forthat’.’’

He believed there were still areas along the railcorridor that could be used for street art.

Addressing the council meeting, Sunbury res-ident Adrian Lodders expressed his disappoint-ment at the council decision.

‘‘The report shows that no community con-sultation occurred. The report also states thatthere are no funds available for such a projecteither.

‘‘I find it amazing to believe. Until the begin-ning of this month, there was an opportunity forcouncils to take advantage of generous graffitiprevention and removal grants by the Victoriangovernment and could have been used for this.’’

SUNBURY Basketball Association has set anunusual record and in the process won $3000.

In late July, the association was set the chal-lenge to have 200 cars pass through theMcDonald’s drive-through within an hour.

In the end, 321 cars went into the drive-through, passing the Australian McDonald’srecord, which was also set in Sunbury.

The association received the cheque lastThursday.

Operations administrator Rick Gianninosaid he believed the association had also bro-ken the world record. The association haddefeated Sebastopol Basketball Association,which had a similar challenge at its local store.

He said the money would come in handyfor the eight clubs that comprised the associ-ation.

‘‘We aren’t sure yet what the money will gotowards. We are looking at possibly runningclinics for the association, or assisting theclubs with uniforms and basketballs. ’’

Mr Giannino said it would also help withthe opening of two courts, which are due to befinished in November.

Whether born with a disability or acquiring one, hundreds of Melburnians are sharing the national obsesssion with sport. And playing all the games we associate with able-bodied athletes is an option being increasingly taken up in the city’s north- west, as Tara Murray reports.

Willing Able

and

ROXBURGH Park’s Naz Erdim feared for his future after a diving accident left him a quadriplegic.

The thought of not ever playing sport again was the least of the then- 20-year-old’s concerns.

‘‘I wasn’t really sure and didn’t know what to expect. While I was in rehab they told me about different sports I could still play.

‘‘They told me about wheelchair rugby. Once I’d watched it, I really loved how they crashed and bashed on the court and were really good friends off the court.

‘‘Most people are confused when they fi rst see wheelchair rugby. They picture us on a rugby paddock. We play on a basketball court and it looks quiet dangerous.’’

Move forward 20 years and Erdim is com-peting in his fourth Paralympics in London.

‘‘It feels pretty good and it’s really special and we are looking forward to it, ’’he said before leaving.

‘‘We won silver in Sydney and Beijing and we’re pretty confi dent of going well in London.’’

As Erdim takes to the court in London, it’s also an opportunity to look at what sports are available for both physically and intel-lectually disabled people.

For most it’s not about competing at the top level; it’s about having the opportunities in the fi rst place.

‘‘A lot of the desire for sports is driven by the parents,’’ says Wyndham’s Access All Abilities community development offi cer, Wayne Slattery.

‘‘They will contact the YMCA or the council saying my child wants to play a particular sport. We then try and organise something.’’

Slattery says Wyndham is one of the better-equipped areas in Melbourne’s north-west with soft tennis ; light exercise groups; aqua aerobics; carpet, lawn and tenpin bowls; netball; basketball; dance; wheelchair darts; jujitsu and swimming all catered for.

‘‘The aim for us is to get them into mainstream sport and sometimes we have to make some modifi cations or some rule changes to make this happen.

‘‘We mentor the coaches and provide them with advice on how to work with the children who need more attention.’’

Slattery says wheelchair basketball adds another element to the opportunities avail-able.

‘‘Just say a teenager [in a wheelchair] is playing; his family can compete, too. They get in the wheelchair and it becomes a fam-ily thing

‘‘Over half of the people in our sessions are able-bodied.’’

The Australian Paralympic Committee’s manager of development and pathways, Tim Matthews, says his team also looks to include disabled sports people in main-stream sport.

‘‘We aim to include our athletes in main-stream sports where we can but you can’t always make it happen.

‘‘Our goal is to include people with a disability in the core business of sport. Seg-regating them, all it does is make it an issue in many cases ... there needs to be more work to include people with disabilities in sporting clubs.’’

The Macedon Basketball Association has been able to do that with its Access All Abilities’ group, in which 50 people are registered.

While they may not play an actual compe-tition, they still enjoy games and play a role on the association’s grand fi nal day.

‘‘We didn’t realise there was a need for a program like this until we were approached in 2008,’’ says Michael Grantham, who’s in charge of the program.

‘‘We ran a trial program in 2009 and the participants enjoyed it so much that we incorporated it in our regular basketball program.

‘‘The youngest person is 10 and the eldest 74 and there’s all ages in between.

‘‘Each week they have a skills session, fol-lowed by a half-court game.’’

Tennis Victoria has 24 clubs, with pro-grams for people with disabilities, including wheelchair tennis.

South Gisborne Tennis Club is the only club in Melbourne’s north-west to have such a program.

‘‘We’ve been running it for 12 years,’’ says coach Gail Scott.

‘‘We have the Sunbury Macedon Specialist School come down and Distinctive Options from Sunbury [provider of disability sup-port and training programs] has sessions every week.

‘‘We’re looking at expanding it more. We would eventually like to run a competi-tion.’’

Scott says funding given to them earlier this year means they’ll be able to cater for more people in wheelchairs.

‘‘We now have to carry them onto the court. We are just waiting for the right weather to install ramps and bigger doors so they’ll be able to play on our hard courts.’’

Western Australian-based Cricket Champs is another program looking to set up some-thing similar, with the chance for kids to move into mainstream teams.

Now with clubs in WA and New South Wales, Cricket Champs wants to expand into Victoria.

‘‘There’s very limited opportunities for kids with disabilities to play sport,’’ says Justin Sambell

‘‘Many parents are reluctant to enrol their kids in sport. Programs like this give them a chance to start playing sport then move into mainstream sport, which they mightn’t have thought was possible.’’

While there is a focus on trying to get disabled people into mainstream sports clubs, there are still many sports groups focusing just on people with disabilities.

The Special Olympics has started a Com-munity Sports Link program, designed for special schools and disability service provid-ers to get people involved in weekly sports training.

‘‘Part of my role is to facilitate this pro-gram and others north-west of Melbourne. This term, I’ve got eight schools I’m work-ing on with soccer,’’ says Lessey Hodgkin-son, who runs the program in Melbourne’s north-west

‘‘We try to get them into the routine of training once a week, try and get them into a competition with a Special Olympics feel about it.’’

It’s through the Special Olympics program that Helping Hoops has started running free basketball training sessions for intellectual-ity disabled children.

Having already established programs for disadvantaged youth, founder Adam Mc-Kay said they were asked to look at running skills sessions for intellectually disabled children.

They recently moved their north-west pro-gram from Footscray to Broadmeadows.

Sunbury Jets basketball coach Mike Spears is one of the coaches in the program.

‘‘When I started we had one program and Adam said I had one coaching job for you per week, and now we’re doing four programs, two to three hours a day,

‘‘This area needs it. We used to do it at VU, most of the players were from Ascot Vale and some out of Werribee, but since we’ve been relocated its starting brand new here.’’

Jets player Jay Boyle is also involved in the program and is looking at bringing it out to Sunbury, having already visited the Sunbury Macedon Specialist School.

Melton’s Riding for the Disabled Associa-tion is another program based in Mel-bourne’s north-west.

The centre, which attracts people from places including Melton, Sunbury, Gis-borne, Point Cook and Bacchus Marsh, caters for both intellectual and physically disabled people.

‘‘There’s very few children that can’t have the opportunity to participate and we cater for a range of disabilities,’’ says head coach and co-ordinator Margaret Behan.

‘‘We modify the equipment and supervi-sion. Some riders may need three volunteers and lots of supervision, where others will be able to ride by themselves eventually.’’

Fleeing-children’s story a runaway winnerCannes opener is a gloriously wild romp, writes Stephen A Russell MOONRISE KINGDOM (PG)

Stars: Kara Hayward, Jared Gilman, Edward Norton, BillMurray, Frances McDormand, Bruce WillisDirector: Wes AndersonWes Anderson, the king of kook respons-

ible for quirky classics The Royal Tenen-baums and Fantastic Mr Fox, returns

with the sepia-hued Moonrise Kingdom.It’s a seemingly simple tale of two 12-year-old

boy-meets-girl runaways, but nothing is quite sostraightforward.

This year’s Cannes opener is a gloriously wildromp set on the fantastically realised island ofNew Penzance in 1965, where normality isextreme and there’s a storm a’coming, too.

Beautiful young actress Kara Hayward playsSuzy Bishop, a troubled kid daubed in shockingturquoise eyeliner with a devastating pout tomatch.

Smothered at home by her trio of brothers andsimultaneously overbearing and oddly absentparents (played in understated comic fashion byBill Murray and Frances McDormand), Suzyplans her escape with kindred spirit Sam.

Sam (Jared Gilman) is an orphan and refugeefrom a somewhat twisted Scout camp run by thesmoking do-gooder Scout Master Ward (EdwardNorton in fine form).

When they flee, full of youthful ambition,hopeful dreams and unusually adult cynicism,they spark a huge manhunt of odd charactersincluding the harsh Social Services – a character

played with swishing-cape action by a gleefullyevil Tilda Swinton – and the violent Scouts whoso tormented Sam.

Bruce Willis does his best work in quite sometime as the island’s cop, Captain Sharp, and hisstory deftly mirrors that of young Sam, whom hesoon takes under his wing.

Even a begrudging cynic should raise a smile atthis good-humoured yarn.

Infused with a fairytale sense of yesteryear,punctuated on occasion with comically exagger-ated violence, Anderson delivers lush visuals andoff-the-wall humour from all his players.

The fantastic cast works wonders with whatare sometimes small roles, but it’s the young leadswho truly captivate and show immense promise.

Whether it’s Suzy causing chaos with a pair ofscissors or Sam preparing for their first nightcamping out together, casually alerting her to thefact he might wet the bed, they hold the viewer inthrall.

needs for the past 25 years.‘‘We always have two pharmacists, myself and

Anand, available on weekdays from 9am-6pm sopatients have access to professional advice.

Be your bestQuick and stress-free CT

scans maximise healthSunbury businessman Brett

Stockdale was at fi rst dismayed to learn that a pre-existing medical condition had resurfaced, but says early diagnosis and treatment improved his outlook for a full recovery.

A regular health check revealed that Brett needed a CT scan. Resident radiologist at Lake Imaging Sunbury Dr Helen Vandenbroeck says the close working relationship between Brett’s local GP and herself led to a defi nite identifi cation of the problem and much-needed early intervention.“An appointment in Sunbury was made

the same week that Brett visited his GP who received the scan results within 24 hours,” she says. “His GP immediately discussed the

fi ndings with us, and arranged a second scan a few days later that confi rmed the diagnosis and need for treatment.”Brett wants other residents to know the

importance of regular health checks, especially for people with prior serious illnesses and those in health-risk categories.

“My previous experiences with CT scans over many years were not exactly fun, so I was pleasantly surprised to fi nd how much modern scanners have improved, and that the facilities in my own neighbourhood were better than I had seen in Melbourne,” he says.

“My latest scans were very quick and stress free. I didn’t have to travel to Melbourne or wait a long time for appointments as I had done previously, and this made it much easier for my family who naturally want to be close at times like this.”

Dr Vandenbroeck says Lake Imaging has a policy of providing the latest radiology equipment and the specialists to operate them in all regional centres.

“In Sunbury our equipment includes a state-of-the-art GE Lightspeed VCT for 3D scans of arteries, the brain, lungs, kidneys, other vital organs, skeletal structure and teeth.

‘‘Most patients are bulk billed for these services” she said.

Lake Imaging, at 10 Spavin Drive (corner Riddell Road), Sunbury, opens 8.30am-6pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 8.30am-8pm, Wednesday and 9am-1pm, Saturday. Inquiries: 9744 5344 or lakeimaging.com.au

Sooner or later most people consider the purchase of a home as

opposed to renting. However, there are those that simply have no desire

of home ownership due to the life styles they have or for the simple

fact that home ownership just does not appeal to them. In Australia,

home ownership is a prevailing line of thought for most people. The

purchase of a home that one can afford allows the build up of equity by

the payment of the monthly mortgage and the appreciation of the home’s

value over time. Equity in a home is the actual value of the home above

the amount due on the mortgage. Typical homeowners end up upgrading

the type of the home they have over the years as their needs change. For

example, many first time homeowners acquire a home unit and then sell

it if they get married and start raising a family, have the need for more

space or a location nearer to better schools. Owning your own home

or some other property and maintaining them or improving them gives

the property owner a sense of accomplishment and pride of ownership.

Additionally, the appreciation over time of real property and the build up

of equity in a parcel can provide benefits for one when they retire and

no longer are working on a day to day basis. The biggest advantage of

home ownership is a sense of stability for the property owner and his

or her family. If you would like to discuss this, or any other real estate

matter, feel free to call me, John Dunlop on 9744 2555 or call into our

friendly office at Sunbury and Gisborne to talk to me.

A pad to pamper youThis self-contained unit is in a great spot for enjoying a country lifestyle, writes Carole Levy

5/2 Larter Court, Riddells CreekBedrooms: 3Bathrooms: 2Living areas: Lounge-diningThe rest: Gas central heating, evaporative cooling, 2.7-metreceilings, stepped cornices, porcelain tiles, Europeanappliances, two courtyards, double garage with internal accessPrice: $345,000Private saleAgent: Hunt Real Estate Gisborne, 5428 2544

It’s not often a unit gets reviewed on this page,but this one has a bit of extra pizzazz andcertainly unexpected space. And it’s in

Riddells Creek which, to my mind, is a great spotfor enjoying a country lifestyle, being on the cuspof all the Macedon Ranges has to offer.

It’s the front unit of a block of five, with entryat the side behind a high fence with horizontalslats, which gives the place a nice feeling ofprivacy.

Latte-toned porcelain floor tiles set out anappealing welcome in the entry hall, as do theglass sliders showing off the first of two court-

yards, this one paved and surrounded by pebblesand garden beds. Around to the right, the tiledlounge-dining area is a good size, elegantly fittedout with classy window furnishings and shallow,bowl-shaped leadlight lightfittings.

The area opens to the second courtyard, aprivate space for relaxing with friends.

The kitchen has a light-bouncing white andcream colour palette, slim-line blinds, benchestopped with stone-look laminate, a two-doorpantry, and an underbench oven, gas cooktopand dishwasher wearing the Bosch label.

A hallway (with courtyard access) heads left of

entry to a powder room, a gleaming main bath-room with heat lamp, a laundry with garageaccess, and three bedrooms — two with built-inwardrobes. The good-sized main bedroom hascourtyard views, a walk-in wardrobe anden suite with heat lamp and mosaic feature tilesin the shower.

The back of the unit is defined by a narrow,paved walkway, while the front garden isfinished with a combination of mulch, pebblesand boxed garden beds. The property has adouble garage with remote-control and is a walkaway from shops and station.

SPRAINS & STRAINS

RUNNING INJURIESWritten by

Hiroyuki Hasegawa

Long distance running and recreational road races are increasingly gaining popularity in the community. Their linkage to charitable fundraising, memorial events and weight loss programs has led to an explosion in the number of road races that are held in towns of all sizes. As the Melbourne marathon festival awaits in mid-October many of us will be on the street or at the gym gradually increasing the total mileage and the frequency of training this month. Not surprisingly, the number of running related injuries is expected to rise. The most common injuries are those of the knee, followed by Achilles tendon and calf injuries, as well as stress fractures, foot injuries, hip, pelvis and lower back injuries. Running injuries can be classified as overuse injuries, which are typically caused by repetitive action as opposed to acute injuries which occur in an instant (e.g. sprained ankle). Repeated movements or awkward postures may result in minor injuries. When injuries happen over and over, the body’s healing process will not be able to catch up to the injuries. Physiotherapy should be considered as a starting point for anyone who is suffering from running related injuries. Physiotherapists at Sunbury Physiotherapy Clinic are highly trained in the comprehensive management, from treatment of the immediate injuries, to return to sport and prevention of re-injury. It is important to address predisposing factors for the injury. Several factors have been associated with injury in runners, including age, body weight, body alignment, previous running experience, shoes, running terrain, and even psychological factors. Physiotherapists will evaluate these factors and help guide an individualised treatment plan for the runner which can include counselling the runner on more effective training and providing specific rehabilitation guidelines.Hiroyuki HasegawaB.

Silent no more on mental healthOnce far more hidden in society, the area of

mental health now receives lots of attention and chances are you or a loved one suffers from anxiety, depression, bi-polar or another mental health issue.

Susanna Warner of Family Medical Centre in Sunbury can assist people facing these challenges, taking a sensitive approach to mental health treatment.

‘‘I seek to normalise the experience of going through a mental health challenge and work with individuals to improve their situation, to cope, and work towards recovery,’’ Susanna says.

‘‘As a nurse with many years’ experience, I give physical, social, emotional, spiritual and mental health support.’’

She began work at the centre in 2010, seeing patients who have a GP chronic disease management plan in place, and taking private appointments.

‘‘I provide education and assistance with fi nding appropriate referrals, counselling and practical strategies, including mindfulness breathing and relaxation, and non-directive pregnancy support.”

Paediatric speech pathologist Fiona Tremlett also works at the centre to help kids in an equally important area, providing speech

pathology services for children 15 months old to school-entry age.

‘‘I have more than 25 years of experience with preschool-aged children who have diffi culty communicating, especially those under three,’’ Fiona says.

Her ongoing professional development includes being an accredited presenter for several Hanen programs and training for the Lidcombe program for early stuttering intervention.

‘‘I provide individual assessments, consultations and therapy sessions with written reports available upon request,’’ Fiona says.

Both women work alongside qualifi ed doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and psychologists at the clinic to provide patients with the best possible care.

Family Medical Centre has been supporting locals for 27 years, providing high-quality medical care for individuals and families.

The clinic’s comprehensive website has a list of patient resources and links to sites for specifi c conditions and healthcare information.

Family Medical Centre, 94 O’Shanassy Street, Sunbury, opens 7.30am-8pm, Monday-Friday and 9am-3.30pm Saturday. Inquiries: 9744 6222 or familymedicalcentre.com.au

Drawing on life’s challengesLevent Efe depicts how ethnic communities relate to Australia, writes Rebecca Miller

Cartoonist Levent Efe

Illustration training and expressinghimself through drawings is whatled Levent Efe to be a medical

illustrator and cartoonist.‘‘I did a post-doctoral degree in

medical illustration while overseasand that is my day job,’’ he says.

‘‘Freelance cartooning has alwaysbeen a healthy distraction, where I canexpress myself using the sameillustration skills.’’

From an early age, Turkish-bornLevent knew he wanted to use hiscreative talents to send subliminalmessages to society.

‘‘As a child I dreamt of channellingmy creative talent to fine arts, butdiscovered that figurative work anddidactic storytelling is what I do best.’’

‘‘My major mentor has been the lateOguz Aral, who single-handedly

nurtured an entire generation of car-toonists in Turkey in the 70s.’’

Levent focuses his cartooning ongiving a voice to people who’vemigrated to Australia, just as he didwhen he was 30.

‘‘My cartoons mostly appear in

Australian ethnic media, particularlythose published in Turkish. I try toshow the problems ethnic communitymembers face through integration.’’

His cartoons have appeared inmainstream newspapers, the TurkishReport Weekly newspaper and onlineblog, Ayorum.

‘‘Being able to get readers to thinkoutside the square and giving them agood belly laugh is the best reward fora cartoonist.’’

‘‘Life is multifaceted and there arelots of ways to interpret the world.Humour is the most creative one.Unique angles on life keeps me going.’’

He says his next career step is tocreate a perfect medium for online.

‘‘Media is going through enormouschanges and us creative folk have toadapt to ensure our craft isn’t lost.’’

Big on style, safety and economyEwan Kennedy and Derek Ogden road test the Hyundai i30

The new Hyundai i30: Moving forward in design and engine technology.

Designed for the European market atHyundai’s Technical Centre in Russels-heim, Germany, the new i30 takes on the

South Korean company’s ‘fluid sculpture’ stylewhich, it says, is inspired by nature and modernarchitecture. More practically, it gives the vehiclea slippery coefficient of friction of Cd 0.30, acornerstone of fuel economy.

Hyundai i30 gets straight to the point in thestyling stakes, with Hyundai’s signaturehexagonal radiator grille (chrome in thePremium test car we sampled), flanked by thelatest design HID xenon headlamps.

Sleek lines, offset by sculpted wheel archeshousing 17-inch alloy wheels, continue down theside of the vehicle, ending in a rear thatemphasises the vehicle’s wide stance.

The roof in the i30 Premium incorporates atwo-piece panoramic sunroof, the light fromwhich adds a feeling of space inside the cabin.A spoiler is positioned where the roof meets therear window.

The Hyundai i30, which comes in Active, Elite

and Premium variants, has been recognised as‘‘one of the safest in the small-car category’’ bythe Australasian New Car Assessment Program.

With room for five people, the Premium i30’scabin lives up to the model moniker with amodern mix of quality hard and soft surfaces.

Instruments are made easy to read with sports-style layout and blue back lighting.

The four-spoke steering wheel incorporates avariety of controls, including cruise control,audio and air-con.

The 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine has beenupdated to produce 10.6 per cent more power(94 kW) over the previous i30 and 3.4 per centreduction in combined highway/urban fuelconsumption

At motorway speeds, the test i30 CRDi hadfuel consumption of 5.2 litres per 100km,increasing to about eight litres per 100km in hardstop-start traffic motoring.

The Hyundai i30 Premium 1.6 turbo-dieselsix-speed automatic sells for $32,590, plus on-roads.

VW showcases Blue Efficiency

Thinking Blue: One of Volkswagen’s extreme fuel savers.

Although a disappointingly largenumber of Australians aretaking the head-in-the-sand

approach to climate change,Europeans are treating the problemseriously and are looking to buy carsthat maximise fuel efficiency.

Volkswagen is by far the biggestautomotive maker in Europe and thelocal Australian importer has justcompleted a major media event inCanberra to demonstrate the fuelsaving features of its latest models.

Running under the tag of Blue

Efficiency, Volkswagen’s extreme fuelsavers have numerous technicaldevices to trim carbon emissions andat the same time reduce their fuelusage. Stop-Start systems turn off theengine when it’s not required and fireit up again when needed.

Fuel Cutout stops fuel going into theengine when it’s not needed.

Brake Energy Recuperation chargesthe car’s battery when the brakes areused or the car is running downhill.

Gear Recommendation suggests thecorrect gear to the driver from

moment to moment for best efficiency.Coasting is the most interesting of

the new Volkswagen fuel savingsystems.

Intelligent Thermal Managementcuts engine cooling to a minimumuntil the powerplant has reached itscorrect operation temperature.

The greatest fuel saving method ofall is quite simply the person behindthe steering wheel.

Correct driving can easily trim fuelusage by 10 per cent.

Crossover adds appealEwan Kennedy reviews the Mitsubishi ASX

Versatile: New styling for the Mitsubishi ASX gives it a softer look to appeal to hatchback buyers.

Convenient: Steering wheel controls are easier to use.

In an interesting move, Mitsubishi has given itsASX crossover vehicle a softer look that it sayswill appeal to hatchback buyers more so than

those on the hunt for an SUV.However, the ASX still has the large grille look

and seems sure to remain a major player in thesmall SUV market in Australia, the fastest grow-ing of all areas in the sales race. Modifications tothe shape include new bumpers front and rear aswell as changes to the foglight surrounds and arevised shape to the so-called jetfighter grille.

Even more appealingly, the importer has used

the rising value of the Aussie dollar to trim pricesand at the same time increase equipment levels.

The range now starts at just $25,990 (plus onroads) for the Mitsubishi ASX with a five-speedmanual gearbox and front-wheel drive. That’s amouth-watering tag for a vehicle with Japanesebuild quality and out-of-the-ordinary styling.

Inside, there are chromed accents and a new-design steering wheel with easier to use controls.

Safety features across the entire ASX rangeinclude ABS brakes with electronic brakeforcedistribution and brake assist, stability andtraction control and front, side, curtain anddriver’s knee airbags.

Mechanical upgrades see fuel consumptionand carbon output cut by about 3 to 5 per cent.

The diesel engine is now best-in-class for offi-cial fuel efficiency, at 5.7 litres per 100 kilo-metres. The petrol unit runs at 7.7 litres perhundred kilometres on the combined cycle.

The Mitsubishi ASX (for Active Sports Cross-over) is either a compact SUV or a crossoverdepending on its mechanical specifications.When it comes with 2WD, it’s a hatchback with

good interior space and better-than-averageground clearance. Add 4WD and you get somereasonable ability off sealed surfaces.

There’s good interior space with plenty of rearleg and headroom. The boot is a good size.

Mitsubishi ASX comes with the choice of twoengines, a 2.0-litre petrol unit and a sophisticated1.8-litre direct-injection turbo-diesel. The front-

wheel drive Mitsubishi ASX has the option ofeither five-speed manual or CVT automatic. The4WD petrol is only available with CVT, while thediesel only comes with six-speed manual.

Mitsubishi ASX is a stylish and practical cross-over and as well as the reduced prices it also hasthe added assurance of Mitsubishi’s five-year/130,000km warranty.

Mercedes-Benz B-ClassEwan Kennedy’s used car checkout

Immensely practical: Above, the 2008 Mercedes-BenzB-Class. At left, the 2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class.

CAR BUYING TIP: Cars with prestigious badges can bedriven just as badly as those from the lowliest on theimage stakes. Don’t fall for the fancy badge; have itfully inspected.

The Mercedes B-Class is an exceptionallypractical vehicle built on a stretched versionof the Mercedes A-Class platform. The

release of an all-new model in March 2012 hasgenerated added interest to those on the used-carmarket.

A taller than average five-door hatchback, theB-Class has a huge amount of interior space, withalmost as much legroom in the rear as in the bigS-Class Mercedes.

The B-Class’s front seats are large, well shapedand provide good support. There’s plenty ofspace for two big Aussie males in the rear andthree children will have stretch-out room.

The boot is bigger and more usable than thatof many much larger cars. Not only is it huge, theluggage area is versatile and you can even createan almost van-like interior by removing everyseat but the driver’s. The removable seats are anextra-cost option so may not be fitted to the oneyou’re examining.

We wouldn’t go as far as to call the B-Class a‘sports tourer’, but it does have a reasonablysleek style in its class.

WHAT TO LOOK FORA correctly driven and maintained Mercedes

B-Class is unlikely to have any faults, but it’s stillbest to have one inspected by a senior engineer atyour motoring club.

Take a good walk around the car checking forsigns of damage to the bumper corners, the wheelrims (the front left is the one that generallysuffers at the hands of poor parkers), and thedoor panels at their widest sections.

If you find what appears to have been majorrepairs to the body either pass it up altogether orbook it in for an after-crash inspection at areputable panel repairer.

Check the interior, particularly the rear seatsand the boot for evidence of harsh use.

HOW MUCH?Expect to pay from $12,000 to $17,000 for a

2005 Mercedes-Benz B200; $14,000 to $20,000for a 2006 B180 CDI; $15,000 to $23,000 for a2006 B200 Turbo; $21,000 to $30,000 for a2010 B180; $25,000 to $33,000 for a 2010B200, and $31,000 to $42,000 for a 2011 B200Turbo.

In pursuit of FPV uteRelease of Ford’s head turner is strictly limited, writes Ewan Kennedy

Hot pursuit: The latest FPV Pursuit ute lookssinister in deep black with Vixen highlights.

At the same time as it introduced the newFalcon GT R-Spec sedan in Melbourne,Ford Performance Vehicles also

displayed the most limited of all limited-edition utes it has ever built.

Available only in Silhouette (a very blackblack) with Vixen stripes and accents, theFPV Pursuit ute will be limited to just 75units.

The latest FPV Pursuit ute has a GTcolour-coded front bumper and eight-inchalloy wheels in the same design as the nine-inch units fitted to the GT R-Spec.

The Pursuit has the standard features ofthe current GS ute, to which have been addeda Pursuit badge across the tailgate and a GTcolour-coded bumper that ties in nicely withthe decal pack featuring FPV’s ‘C’ stripe.

This eye-catching colour scheme lifts thelooks of the already good FPV body modific-ations. The result is a true Aussie-designedand -built ute that really stands out on theroad.

Inside, the latest FPV ute has Shadow

leather sports seats, a stylish piano-blackinterior finish around the ICC unit, the tissuebox and the door spears.

The limited edition Pursuit Ute is poweredby the FPV modified all-aluminium 315 kW5.0-litre Harrop-supercharged V8 engine.The engine is based on the Boss unit built forthe Ford Mustang in the US but gets quite afew modifications after it hits the FPV work-shop in Melbourne. The recommended man-ufacturer’s list price for the limited editionFPV Pursuit ute is $57,990. On-road andgovernments charges have to be added.

CALDER Cannons may be hoping for a bumpercrop of draftees this season but there will be noteam success after a 28-point loss to OakleighChargers on Sunday.

The Chargers kept the Cannons at arm’s lengthat Princes Park in Carlton in the TAC Cup elim-ination final to win 18.12 (120) to 13.14 (92).

For Calder, a perennial contender in the com-petition, the eighth-placed finish and eliminationfinal exit brings one of its earliest closes to a sea-son in recent times.

Oakleigh stamped its authority on the matchearly by kicking seven goals to four, before Cal-der closed the gap to just four points at the longbreak.

When Liam McBean kicked his fourth goal ofthe match early in the fourth quarter, Calder hitthe front, followed by a Joe Daniher goal tomake the margin nine points in Cannons’ favour.

But the surge would be the Cannons’ best andlast attempt to seize control of the game as Oak-leigh booted the next four goals unanswered tolead by 20 points at the final change.

The Chargers kept the momentum going at thestart of the last quarter to take the lead out to 40points before Calder reduced the margin latewith the last two goals of the game.

McBean finished with four goals for the matchwhile Xavier Allison booted three for theCannons and Daniher two.

SUNBURY Kangaroos overcame a third-quarterdeficit to beat Diggers Rest by 14 points in theRiddell District Football League qualifying finalon Saturday.

The Burras were gaining the upper hand at Kil-more in the third term when the margin stretchedto 20 points, but the Kangaroos rallied to comeback and win 8.15 (63) to 7.7 (49).

Sunbury advances to the second semi-finalagainst Romsey this weekend while Diggers Restmust play Riddell Bombers in the first elimina-tion final.

Both teams left the field goalless at the firstbreak before Diggers Rest wrestled the advant-age with two goals to one in the second term.

The Burras continued to extend the lead in thethird quarter only for a late rally from Sunburyto close the margin to three points at the finalchange.

‘‘In the middle of the year we would havedropped our heads,’’ Kangaroos co-coach ChrisMeacham said. ‘‘But with the belief we’ve got wejust kept coming and coming.

‘‘From a spectator point of view it [the first

quarter] would have looked scrappy but the balljust wasn’t coming into the forward 50 metrestoo much.’’ Meacham said switching midfieldmatch-ups to try and play one-on-one ratherthan tag Diggers Rest players had coincided withthe Burras getting the upper hand.

But young forward Phillip Kaufmann wouldbring the Kangaroos back into the contest whenhe was switched to full forward, booting threegoals.

Meacham moved himself into the forwardpocket and Kaufmann shone as the main forwardtarget, bringing in contested marks and havingfive shots for goal after the switch.

‘‘I asked at half-time for the players to step upand he [Kaufmann] pretty much announced him-self,’’ Meacham said.

‘‘I snapped one in the last, then Ryan Hattykicked one from the boundary and you could seethe heads drop. Normally their [Diggers] backline is up and about.’’

Meacham said after last year’s agonising grandfinal defeat to Romsey there would be no prob-lems keeping a lid on taking the upper hand inthe finals race. ‘‘We know Romsey are coming,we’re focusing on next week,’’ he said.

Brent Tuckey booted three goals as DiggersRest’s only multiple goal-kicker in his day-longduel with Sunbury’s Daniel Gregory.

Better players for the Burras were Dylan Han-nan, Stuart Clarke and Jeff Heritage.■ More RDFL results and this weekend’s finalsfixture — page 27

Sunbury coach Rick Horwood said observerswere happy to point out that the eastern Lionshad not won at Eastern Oval since 2010, and histeam had now taken care of that.

“The monkey is off our back. We won at East-ern Oval. We’re not getting too carried away.

“The players, they’re happy they’ve had a winbut they are already focused on recovery and theweek ahead.

“It is nice to beat Redan in September but itwon’t mean anything next time we play them.”

There was plenty of heat in the first eightminutes of the match, as the ball went from endto end. The only shot at goal was a miss to SimonClarke.

But after Scott Lobb kicked the first goal of thematch, Sunbury played a brand of football thatcould yet deliver it that elusive flag.

Simon Clarke dominated the air in the forward50. And anything that wasn’t marked by Clarkeor Dale Ciunik was picked off by small forwardsScott Lobb and Matthew Medcraft.

At the other end of the ground, Brett Cham-bers and Allan O’Connor had the better of theirown match-ups, while providing support up fieldas well.

In the middle, Pat Cariss was imposing, givingfirst use of the ball to Jay Cheep and Jamie Lobb.

In 15 minutes Sunbury was five goals up. Byhalf-time the margin was 41 points. In contrast,Redan looked flat.

The only effective target up forward was DeanChester, who had 2.4 to half-time.

“We got the first clearance. We were first inforward 50 but they got it out of there veryeasily,” Redan playing coach Brendan Peaceexplained.

“We lacked intensity. Our effort picked up inthe last three quarters but there is still room forimprovement.

‘‘Full credit to Sunbury, though. They playedvery well.”

The contest after half-time was far more evenas Matt Hyden, Brenton Riordan, Grant Bell,Jesse Dundon and Ryan Waight lifted up a gear.

Redan even managed to win the last quarter,three goals to one.

But the day was Sunbury’s, the eastern Lionsnow face East Point for a ticket into the grandfinal.

Redan, meanwhile, faces a sudden-death semi-final against North Ballarat City.

“You hope it stings us into action,” Peace said.“It’s all or nothing next week with a chance to goout in straight sets. I’d hope the group has a bitmore pride than that.”
