Gather greeniepoints, feel good

I recently forgot to take my ‘green’ bags to thesupermarket.A few years ago, it wouldn’t have been a big

deal. But these days, given our increasingemphasis on all things green and good, I felt like Iwas committing check-out crimes against theenvironment.

Forced to use the dull grey plastic bags, Istuffed cold meat in with shampoo, accidentallysquished the bread with a tin of dog food andignored the supermarket assistant’s protest thatthe bags were about to split.

On my way to the car I passed good globalcitizens — people with calico, canvas and stringbags — and promised that next time I’d dobetter. For me, living sustainably is a collectionof small things: like crushing the plastic milkbottles before they go in the recycling bin,switching the lights off and washing withcold water.

On a larger scale, building a rain garden,whacking up solar panels or buying an electriccar can help counter our carbon footprint.

Of course, there are always new ways of doingour little bit to save the planet, all of which canbe discovered at the Wyndham SustainabilityFestival. It will feature op-shop tours,sustainable storytelling and a movie marathon,among many other events.

For revheads , the Western Region Environ-ment Centre has organised an electric cardisplay, giving us a glimpse into the future ofmotoring, including information on how’charging stations’ will replace the petrol pumpover the next decade.

So if you’ve ever felt like a checkout criminal,check out the sustainability festival and see howto top up your green credits.

The festival is from Wednesday to Sunday atlocations across the city. Details:wyndham.vic.gov.au.

INBRIEF

Bring in your bills and saveWyndham residents can get help with gas and

electricity bills at a ‘bring your bills’ day this

Saturday. Wyndham Legal Service, Wyndham

Humanitarian Network, Anglicare and the

Footscray Community Legal Centre organised

the event following reports of residents being

tricked into switching gas and electricity

providers. Bring your bills day is at Werribee

Uniting Church, corner Synnot Street and

Duncans Road, Werribee, from 10am-3pm.

Road work to start soonWork is expected to start in the coming months

on the construction of Marquands Road, Tarneit.

Wyndham Council last week awarded the tender

for the project, which will include excavation and

construction of road pavement, shared paths,

line marking, public lighting, traffic signals and

underground road drainage. The $1.1 million

contract was awarded to NovaWest.

Help the hospital, for art’s sakeWyndham residents are invited to show off their

artistic side during the Werribee Mercy Hospital

art show. Works will be featured throughout the

hospital’s halls from September 14-23 and all

profits will go towards improving the hospital’s

environment and facilities.

Multi-purpose centre opensWerribee Primary School pupils have celebrated

the opening of a new multi-purpose centre. The

$3.05 million centre, a Building the Education

Revolution project, was opened by Senator

Jacinta Collins last week on behalf of Prime

Minister and Lalor MP Julia Gillard.

Strategy drives transport prioritiesWyndham Council has endorsed a new strategy

to guide transport advocacy in the western

suburbs. The Western Transport Strategy was

developed by LeadWest and the Western

Transport Alliance. The document outlines

priorities that will support economic

development, improved transport alternatives

and better transport integration. It identifies

essential projects for the region, including the

western section of the East-West link,

development of a cycling network and Avalon

Airport rail link. Details: wyndham.vic.gov.au.

Council bows to pressureSupply chainfaces a wait

Negative impact: Poultry farmer Les Peel protests the rates hike. Picture: Martina Gemmola

THE state government’s quest for an oversupplyof developable land has been blamed for therates hike facing Wyndham North residents.

The area has been brought within the urbangrowth boundary to provide Melbourne with a30-year supply of land for new housing.

The Growth Areas Authority is drawing upfour precinct structure plans for the area whichwill be completed next year.

But residents face a wait of up to 20 yearsbefore land can be developed.

Council’s advocacy director Bill Forrest toldMonday’s public meeting that PSPs forWyndham were being released too fast and thatgrowth had to slow down.

Mr Forrest said while moving land within theurban growth boundary allowed the council toplan for infrastructure, it was having a negativeimpact on people’s lives.

‘‘We agree that the urban growth boundary isnot working given the impact it is having onpeople’s lives. That’s the bit we’ve got to fix.’’

Mr Forrest said residents were in limbo untilthe PSPs were completed and developercontribution plans put in place.

GAA chief executive Peter Seamer said devel-opment and subdivision could begin next yearand be completed over the next 20-25 years.

Council chief executive Kerry Thompson saidshe would write to Premier Ted Baillieu,Treasurer Kim Wells and Planning MinisterMatthew Guy to request an urgent review of theimpact the urban growth boundary was havingon rates. — Nick Toscano and Laura Little

for urgent rates reviewBY LAURA LITTLE and NICK TOSCANO

Rates anger: Tarneit landholder Joe Magro addresses Monday’s meeting. Picture: Martina Gemmola

WYNDHAM Council has offered to review itsrating strategy after 400 angry residentsswamped a public meeting on Monday night.

Landholders from Tarneit, Truganina andMount Cottrell confronted councillors and staffat the meeting after receiving rates increases ofup to 700 per cent.

An independent facilitator struggled to keepinterjections under control. The agenda wassoon cast aside and council faced the heat ofspontaneous criticism from the crowd.

The rate increases were the result of land inthe Wyndham North area being brought withinthe urban growth boundary in 2010, meaning itcould eventually be sold to developers fora higher price.

The move meant the value of propertiessoared during this year’s revaluations.

But residents questioned the accuracy of thevaluations after it was revealed they were basedon four sales in the area from 2010-12.

Valuer Stephen Davey, from Opteon, said thevaluation process required 33 per cent ofproperties in Wyndham to be inspected everytwo years, meaning each property was visitedevery six years.

Residents argued their properties should havebeen inspected individually because many ofthem could not be developed because of flood-ing and buffer zones required to protect thegrowling grass frog.

Kenning Road resident Deborah Brown wastold by the Growth Areas Authority that flood-ing and the presence of frogs on her land meantit could not be developed. However, her ratesincreased from $2500 to $4500 because herland was considered ready for development.

Tarneit resident Aaron Borg said residentsobjected to the rates hike because they did notreceive the same services and infrastructure asthe rest of Wyndham. He said the area waswithout water, sewerage, public transport andstreet lights. Poorly maintained council roadsmade it difficult to get taxi, ambulances and firetrucks to come to the area.

Wyndham Fair Rates Committee memberNeil Anderson said the rates had been increasedtoo soon. He said it would be another 10-15years before land in Wyndham North wasdeveloped. ‘‘The council has done a grab formoney. I haven’t got anyone knocking on thedoor because it’s too far away.’’

Tarneit’s Joe Magro said he had had enough.‘‘I’ve been here 30 years and I want to get outof here. The council is trying to force us offour land.’’

Wyndham chief executive Kerry Thompsondenied the increase was a cash grab, saying thecouncil’s rates income remained the same everyyear. She said each resident had to lodge aformal objection to their rates before their valu-ations could be reviewed. ‘‘We cannot changedecisions overnight with the stroke of a pen.

‘‘There are strict rules that we have to follow.I cannot under the legal framework change rateswithout an objection.’’

Ms Thompson offered to run workshops tohelp residents prepare their objections and saidthe council would review its hardship policy.

She also offered for the council to review itsrating strategy within the next six months.

Corporate services director Steven Lambertsaid residents objecting to their rates wererequired to pay instalments at last year’s rateuntil their objections were finalised. The valuerhas four months to make a recommendation tothe council on each objection.

Mr Lambert said the council at its September24 meeting would consider stopping interest onpayments for landholders who were appealingtheir valuations.

Pensionersmay sell upPENSIONERS Vince and Lillian Borg fearthey will have to sell their Tarneit home iftheir council rates are not reduced.

The elderly couple live on Tarneit Roadin an area which was recently broughtinside the urban growth boundary [UGB].

They have lived there for 21 years anddescribe it as an ideal place to call home.

Mrs Borg said it was a quiet area, withgreat neighbours and plenty of space tolook after animals.

But she’s worried they will have to moveafter receiving a rates notice for $4500, upfrom $2200 last year.

The couple receives a pension of $500 afortnight, which Mr Borg said would not beenough to cover their rates.

He also fears the increased value of theirhome will encourage Centrelink to reducetheir pension and prevent them from access-ing cheap medication for his asthma.

Mrs Borg said they would struggle to paytheir rates and other expenses unless thevaluation was reviewed.

‘‘We will have to put $80 a week away tomake sure we have enough money to payour rates. By the time you think aboutpaying for insurance, electricity, registra-tion, petrol and water, there isn’t much leftfor groceries.’’

While the move inside the UGB meanttheir land could be sold to developers, thecouple say it would be some time beforeanyone wanted to buy in. The property is inthe proposed Tarneit North precinct struc-ture plan, which the Growth Areas Author-ity expects to complete next year. No onewill be able to subdivide and develop landin the area until the PSP is approved.

‘‘It will be 10 to 15 years until someone iscoming to buy my house. That’s a lotof money to fork out in rates until we cansell. Where are we going to get the money?’’Mr Borg said. — Laura Little

Crime statistics ‘reflect drug crackdown’BY LAURA LITTLE and NICK TOSCANO

DRUG offences have more thandoubled in Wyndham in the past year,according to Victoria Police’s latestcrime statistics.

Between July 2011 and June thisyear, 514 drug offences were recordedin the municipality.

The figure was a 64 per centincrease on the previous year, when313 drug offences were recorded.

Detective Acting Sergeant MichaelKearnes said the spike in drug offencescame amid a large-scale operation tocrack down on hydroponic cannabisset-ups.

‘‘There has been a significant opera-tion conducted here during the lastquarter, and as a result of that therehave been nine houses with hydro-ponic set-ups in rental properties raid-ed in a very short period of time,’’ hesaid.

As reported by the Weekly, morethan 700 mature cannabis plants,worth about $2.8 million, werediscovered in three houses in Tarneit

and Truganina in April. DetectiveKearnes said police had chargedseveral people as a result of ongoinginvestigations.

‘‘We’re waiting on forensic evidenceto determine if and how many of theseoperations are linked to each other,’’he said.

Wyndham also recorded a signific-ant increase in motor vehicle thefts(37 per cent). In the 12 months toJune, 512 motor vehicles were repor-ted stolen.

Wyndham’s then inspector CindyMillen, who has since taken up a rolein Chief Commissioner Ken Lay’soffice, said other problem areas weretheft from motor vehicles, up 14 percent, and residential burglaries, up22 per cent.

‘‘We now have a dedicated burglarycrew and tasking unit who focus onrecidivist offenders and the offences oftheft of and theft from motor vehi-cles,’’ former inspector Millen said.

She said the public could helpreduce thefts by removing valuablesfrom cars and having one-way screws

fitted to numberplates to prevent themfrom being stolen.

‘‘Many offenders use the stolenplates to steal petrol. We have beenworking closely with retailers toreduce this offence.’’

Data also revealed a 36 per centdrop in the number of reportedrobberies between July 2011 and Junethis year and a 12 per cent decrease inassault excluding family violence.

Wyndham’s results in these areaswere below the state average, whilethe number of property damageoffences reported to police were onpar.

Former inspector Millen said familyviolence continued to contribute toreports of property damage.

Assaults including family violenceincreased 3 per cent. ‘‘Family violence-related crime continues to increase at afaster rate then non-family violence-related crime in Wyndham.

‘‘We have a dedicated familyviolence unit who work closely withother agencies to encourage reportingand reduce repeat offending,’’ she said.

Parents in racefor kinder placeBY NICK TOSCANO

THOUSANDS of families in Wyndham areanxiously awaiting to hear if their children willget their first preference kindergarten spots.

Councils across Melbourne have begunissuing ‘first round’ offers for next year’s kinderplacements, but final spots may not be knownfor more than a month.

Wyndham chief executive Kerry Thompsonsaid the council had received 1954 enrolmentsto date for the 2274 spots available in 2013.

The number of available places has climbedfrom 2241 last year, with four extra groupsopening their doors. Point Cook South Eastand Tarneit Central kindergartens are sched-uled to open next year and will be located onschool sites. ‘‘The number of groups has beentailored according to demand in specific localareas. The number of four-year-olds is decreas-ing in more established areas of Werribee andHoppers Crossing, however demand is increas-ing in more rapidly growing areas such as PointCook and Tarneit,’’ Ms Thompson said.

Point Cook Playgroup president Peta Mad-daluno said the 120 families with children aged0-5 at its sessions knew the shortage of spots inthe suburb meant securing their first preferencewas not guaranteed. Parents worry that if theymiss out on their preferred preschool theywould be forced to travel further where a placewas available, disrupting school and kinderdrop-off routines.

Ms Maddaluno said she held her own daugh-ter back a year after missing out on her firstpreference so she had a greater chance of secur-ing a spot in Point Cook. ‘‘I held her back lastyear because I don’t drive, so even going some-where in Hoppers Crossing isn’t a viable optionbecause I’d have to get there by public trans-port and there is basically none in the area.’’

The annual jostling for first preference posi-tions has been complicated by new federal regu-lations that require kinders to provide 15 hoursa week for four-year-old programs, up from10.75 hours. Ms Thompson said the councilcould only provide 15 hours of kindergarten for27 kindergarten groups at 11 locations.

Gaps soon to appearon dental wait listBY NICK TOSCANO

Dental win: Michael Chin says the new scheme will ease pressure on the public system. Picture: Martina Gemmola

A WYNDHAM health provider says federalfunding for dental care could help cut its waitinglists when a new clinic opens in 2014.

The government has announced a $4 billionscheme including Medicare-funded dental carefor children, extra services for low-income adultsand expanded services in outer-suburban andrural areas.

With construction of a new GP super clinic inWyndham Vale under way, ISIS Primary Carechief executive Terry O’Brien said Wyndham waswell-placed to benefit from the funding boost.

‘‘The new clinic provides for eight dentalchairs, but we currently don’t have any extrafunds for dentists,’’ he said

‘‘To get the potential to access funding that’srolled out in 2014, which is about the same timewe open our doors, is quite exciting.’’

In Wyndham, the 22-month waiting list fordental work at ISIS Primary Care is longer thanthe state average of 17 months.

But under the scheme starting in 2014, families

earning less than $112,000 a year will be givenan entitlement of $1000 over two years for eachchild aged two to 17.

Hoppers Crossing dentist Michael Chin saidallowing families to use Medicare cards wouldencourage visits to private clinics and ease thestrain on public providers.

‘‘Young people will be able to get regularcheck-ups and fillings when they need them,without needing to use the overloaded publicsystem,’’ Dr Chin said.

‘‘I’ve noticed families staggering fillings whenthey may not be able to afford having them, butthis will allow them to have them all done atonce.’’

Prime Minister and Lalor MP Julia Gillard saidthe package meant 39,000 children wouldbecome eligible for government-subsidiseddental care in her electorate, which takes inWyndham, Melton and parts of Hobsons Bay.‘‘It’s not acceptable that low-income householdshave more than double the number of familymembers with untreated tooth decay comparedwith high-income households,’’she said.

A D V E R T O R I A L

For most women – the news of impending parenthood is one of the happiest times of their lives. Discovering you are pregnant in-

vokes many emotions for mums-to-be – generally feelings of excitement, anticipation, wonderment at creating life coupled with a little apprehension towards birthing, come into play.

But then the unimagined happens, severe cramps, first trimester bleeding occurs and suddenly the thrill and joy that you were experiencing is re-placed with fear, confusion and uncertainty. What is happening to my baby? Where do I go? Who will help me?

Unfortunately many women experience this exact scenario.

Strained health services, coupled with lack of in-formation and services – often see these expectant Mums fronting up to the already crowded, emer-gency rooms of hospitals. In many cases these young Mums sit and wait, frightened, concerned and unable to obtain any clear information about what is going on, as Emergency Department staff run frantically from one case to the next.

Not the most satisfactory answer is it?

The medical team at Hoppers Lane GP Clinic have heard this very same story – and were determined to offer a solution. A place where these expectant

Mothers could go, early in their pregnancies, if trouble presents, and get some help, support and some answers.

The solution?

Wyndham’s first Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic (EPAC) is now open to the Community.

Running daily from Hoppers Lane GP Clinic – the EPAC has experienced Nurses and Doctors avail-able to assess Mums-to-be experiencing problems. Our professional and caring staff have the ability to do immediate Ultra-sounds and Foetal monitor-ing, and can refer you to the appropriate Special-ist if required. Our team of medical professionals are determined to offer all the support and advice expectant mums need, when this concerning sce-nario presents itself.

The EPAC is a “drop in” service available from 9.00am – Monday – Friday at Hoppers Lane GP Clinic, at Wyndham Private Medical Centre, 242 Hoppers Lane, Werribee. Bookings can also be made by calling 87316500.

Expectant Mums – if you feel something is wrong, you are feeling ill and you are experienc-ing issues in the early days of your pregnancy – don’t think twice. Come to the EPAC and let our team of dedicated health professionals give you the support, and help you need.

Pokies: no-go zoneplan for poor areasBY LAURA LITTLE

NEW gaming venues will not be permitted inresidential neighbourhoods or disadvantagedareas under a proposed amendment to theWyndham planning scheme.

Councillors last week voted to adopt a newframework which would allow it to dictatewhere gaming venues can be built.

The framework forms part of the council’snew responsible gambling strategy, which aimsto reduce the impact of problem gambling onWyndham. The council is also proposing toprevent gaming venues from being built neareach other.

Under the amendment, venues near shops,schools, parks and childcare centres wouldhave to provide separate access and parking forusers.

Chief executive Kerry Thompson said theamendment and new strategy aimed to ensurevenues were not located in areas where theywere likely to increase the option of ‘‘conveni-ence gambling’’ or negatively impact on the

community’s social and economic well-being.“Some losses are returned to the community

through funding for local clubs, employmentand revenue from the state government,however research suggests that gaming revenuecan come at significant socio-economic costs toindividuals and local communities.”

As reported by the Weekly, Wyndhampunters poured more than $88.5 million intopokies in the 12 months to June, about$242,000 a day.

HealthWest’s James Dunne said researchshowed an increase in gambling losses whenpokies were placed in easily accessible areas.

‘‘While the council can’t do anything aboutexisting venues, the planning scheme amend-ment provides them with the ability to say weknow where the most disadvantaged people inthe community are and we aren’t going to put anew pokies venue in a place which puts them ata even greater risk.’’

The council will seek permission fromPlanning Minister Matthew Guy to amend theplanning scheme.

Plea to keep rampBY LAURA LITTLE

Easy access: Ian Gray wants the council to keep a ramp at Werribee South beach. Picture: Cathy Jackson

A WERRIBEE South resident is urging WyndhamCouncil not to remove a jet-ski ramp at WerribeeSouth beach.

The council has announced plans to remove theramp after a rezoning of Port Phillip Bay resultedin jet-skis being required to launch from the mainboat ramp.

But Ian Gray, who suffers from multiple scler-osis and is in a wheelchair, wants the council tokeep the ramp so disabled people can access thebeach, saying there is no other way for peoplewith mobility problems to get to the water’s edge.

Mr Gray also believes that now jet-skis havebeen moved to the mouth of the Werribee River,the area around the ramp would become muchsafer, making it an ideal swimming spot.

‘‘I swim for exercise but have never dared toswim in the bay because of the danger posed byboats and in particular jet-skis,’’ he said.

‘‘I believe removing the ramp would be a majormistake because it could provide access to thewater for people in a wheelchair or it could beused to launch kayaks.’’

Wyndham Disability Action Group vice-chairman Wayne Slattery said the ramp couldprovide invaluable access for disabled people.

‘‘It is an excellent proposal. At the momentaccessing the beach in a wheelchair is difficult. Iwould say keeping the ramp would have a lot ofadvantages. The council has the option to dosomething with it and make a difference.’’

The council’s chief executive Kerry Thompsonsaid the ramp could not be retained because it wasnot designed for wheelchair access.

The council had been advised that the rampcould not be made compliant with Disability Dis-crimination Act requirements.

Ms Thompson said the council was working onmaking the beach accessible for all residents.

‘‘Work has been done to modify the boat rampat Werribee South to allow canoe entry for peoplewith special needs and local residents wereinvolved with planning and design.

‘‘The future development of the Werribee Southbeach precinct will continue to address thisimportant issue and will include specificallydesigned facilities that allow safe access andparking for all community members.’’

Incoming council has ‘tough road ahead’BY LAURA LITTLE

WYNDHAM’S outgoing councillors havewarned the next council will face manychallenges, including lobbying the state govern-ment to duplicate the city’s choked arterial roads.

Councillors last week used their end of termreport to reflect on their achievements over thepast four years and highlight issues the nextcouncil will face.

Councillors considered the creation of moreparks and open spaces, the construction of newlibraries and a boost to kindergarten places astheir greatest achievements.

Cr Heather Marcus said the council haddelivered about 25 upgrades to open areas andsporting facilities and increased its focus onopen spaces, proving its commitment to theenvironment.

Cr John Menegazzo said a highlight was thecreation of a 10-year program to ensure thecouncil remained financially sustainable withouthaving to increase rates above the state average.

Former Point Cook Action Group presidentBernard Reilly said while the council had spent alot of money on projects around Point Cook, hewould have liked the duplication of SneydesRoad to have started sooner than this year.

Ratepayers get little satisfaction: surveyWYNDHAM Council needs toimprove its community consulta-tion and advocacy strategies,according to residents.

A total of 400 residents wereinterviewed between May andJune as part of the Departmentof Planning and CommunityDevelopment’s annual communitysatisfaction survey.

Residents were asked theiropinions about the council’s com-munity consultation, customerservice, advocacy work, overallperformance and direction.

Results in each categorywere ranked against otherouter-metropolitan municipalitiesincluding Melton, Hume andCasey, and Victoria as a whole.

Wyndham scored slightly aboveaverage in the areas of customer

service (72 per cent) and overallcouncil direction (53 per cent).

But Wyndham was foundto have less direction thanother outer-metropolitan councils,which recorded an average of55 per cent.

The council scored below stateand outer-metropolitan groupaverages for community consulta-tion (55 per cent), advocacy(54 per cent) and overall perform-ance (61 per cent).

Chief executive Kerry Thomp-son said the council wouldfind it difficult to respond to itspoor performance in the areas ofadvocacy and community con-sultation as the results did notinclude residents’ comments.

At the coalface: objections to mining bid

Coal discomfort: Mining opponents Bill Strong and Rob Bradley with a map of the licence area. Picture: Cathy Jackson

BY NICK TOSCANO

A MINING company has sought to renewa licence to search for coal beds in a76,000-hectare area spanning most ofWyndham.

The licence expired yesterday after being heldfor 12 years by Western Victoria Energy, a subsi-diary of Melbourne-based Regal Resources.

On Monday, Regal submitted an applicationto the Department of Primary Industries to havethe exploration licence rolled over.

Anti-coal activists and Wyndham residentshave slammed the move, claiming it provesthe company is serious about long-termmining plans.

DPI spokesman Alex White said the miner hadso far used the permit to carry out exploratorydrilling for presence of brown coal.

It had since undertaken a number of researchprojects within the licence area, including settingup a trial plant for an underground coal-to-liquids process, and investigating technology toconvert coal to methane.

The DPI will conduct a review of thecompany’s activities and refer the application toResources Minister Michael O’Brien beforemaking a decision.

The licence covers farmland and residentialareas including Altona, Altona Meadows, Werri-bee South, Williams Landing, Tarneit andTruganina. It also stretches through the WerribeeSouth irrigation district and Point Cook’sprotected wetlands.

The company is not permitted to extractanything greater than small samples withoutapplying for a full mining licence, according tothe DPI.

Western Region Environment Centre directorHarry van Moorst, who has hosted a series ofinformation nights about the coal licence sinceFebruary, said the group would submit detailedobjections to the state government. A publicmeeting is pencilled in for next Friday, September14 at Crossroads church hall in Werribee.

Mr van Moorst said the miner’s bid to renewthe licence showed it was serious about tappinginto coal beds in the west.

‘‘They’ve spent millions of dollars, they’ve gota pilot plant up and running, they’re serious andso we’re taking it seriously as well. This doesn’tfit with council’s plans or the community’s visionfor this region, but neither we nor council haveany third-party rights in this renewal process.’’

Regal Resources director Rohan Gillespie didnot return calls.

Support builds forwest-end road linkBY NICK TOSCANO

POLITICAL pressure for construction of theeast-west road link to begin in the west ismounting on both sides of State Parliament.

Western Metropolitan Liberal MP AndrewElsbury has called on Roads Minister TerryMulder to consider the region’s criticaltransport needs, spruiking the case for work onthe 18-kilometre connection to start from thewest end. Once constructed, the road willjoin the Eastern Freeway, CityLink and theWestern Ring Road.

In Parliament, Mr Mulder dodged Opposi-tion questions seeking a response to hiscolleague’s calls. But he told the Weekly thegovernment had not decided which stage wouldbe built first.

He said the matter would be considered earlynext year once the outcome of the state’s bid for$30 million in federal funding was known.

‘‘The east-west link is a massive project andwe need to make sure we consider the fullproject cost and its strategic impact on the road

network, as well as considering how it might bedelivered,’’ he said.

‘‘Andrew Elsbury can see the benefits ofconstruction to his constituents in the west, andis right to advocate for it to start as soon aspossible.’’

With planning for the western stage alreadyfinalised, Mr Elsbury said the west had themanpower to kickstart tunnelling works.‘‘Manufacturers and engineering companiesare sitting at our end of the tunnel. We’ve gotthe industry, we’ve got the workforce. Let’sutilise them.’’

The western stage of the works wouldinclude a tunnel joining Dynon Road andFootscray Road in the Port of Melbourne pre-cinct with Paramount Road in West Footscray.A surface road would connect Paramount Roadand the Western Ring Road in Sunshine.

Tarneit Labor MP Tim Pallas backed the callsbut believed the government wanted to startwith the eastern end. ‘‘If they were serious aboutthe west link, why haven’t they started yet whenall planning and alignment is ready to go?’’

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.

INSIDESTORY

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 competing 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 op-portunity to look at what sports are available for both physically and intellectually 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 develop-ment 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 available.

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

‘‘We aim to include our athletes in mainstream 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. Segregating 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 competition, 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 Gran-tham, 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, followed by a half-court game.’’

Tennis Victoria has 24 clubs, with programs for people with disabilities, including wheelchair tennis.

South Gisborne Tennis Club is the only club in Mel-bourne’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 support and training programs] has sessions every week.

‘‘We’re looking at expanding it more. We would eventu-ally like to run a competition.’’

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 pro-gram looking to set up something 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 disabili-ties 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 Community Sports Link program, designed for special schools and disability service providers to get people involved in weekly sports training.

‘‘Part of my role is to facilitate this program and others north-west of Melbourne. This term, I’ve got eight schools I’m working on with soccer,’’ says Lessey Hodgkinson, 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 intellectuality disabled children.

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

They recently moved their north-west program from Foot-scray 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 do-ing 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 Association is another program based in Melbourne’s north-west.

The centre, which attracts people from places includ-ing Melton, Sunbury, Gisborne, 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 supervision. Some riders may need three volunteers and lots of supervision, where others will be able to ride by themselves eventually.’’

Residents doublydelighted over winBY LAURA LITTLE

RESIDENTS of a Tarneit street are celebratinga Wyndham Council decision to reject anapplication to build four double-storey housesat the end of their street.

The proposed development was for fourthree-bedroom houses on a block in WindwardClose.

The application was rejected last weekagainst the advice of the council’s planningdepartment.

Residents had campaigned against thedevelopment for the past two months over fearsit could bring 12 new residents and cars to thenarrow street.

Cr Glenn Goodfellow urged councillors toknock back the application on the basis it wasan overdevelopment out of place in the street.

‘‘While I agree we must provide housingdiversity, we must also ensure we respect thecharacter of the neighbourhood, and in thiscase I have concerns that the development doesnot respect the character of the neighbourhood

which is predominantly single, detacheddwellings,’’ Cr Goodfellow said.

‘‘I could not find any other units in closeproximity to this one. Nearly every other housewas either a single or double-storey house on alarge block.’’

Cr Shane Bourke said it would be wrong toapprove the development in such a tight street.

He raised concerns about parking and askedhow garbage trucks would collect rubbish.

‘‘To place four double-storey units on thisblock would be a major overdevelopment,’’ CrBourke said.

Windward Close resident Vicky Hall said shewas ecstatic the development had been refused.

‘‘The council has finally seen you cannot overdevelop areas like Seasons estate because theinfrastructure was put in for single dwellings.’’

Mrs Hall said residents also presented thecouncil with a 320-signature petition high-lighting their opposition to multi-unit develop-ments anywhere in the estate.

The developer has 60 days to appeal to theVictorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Werribee Open Range Zoo has welcomed its newest addition, a baby camel born before a crowd of

visitors on Sunday. Zookeepers named her Aloe, after aloe vera plants, which are among camels’

favourite treats. They said it was an early birthday present for the zoo, which celebrated its 29th birthday

on Monday. Eleven baby camels have been born at the zoo since it was opened in 1983. The last calf,

Amy, was born in August last year. Aloe is on display with mother Lucie in the zoo’s upper savannah.

Re: Landowners’ outcry as rates soar to$8000 (Weekly, August 29):What an absolute disgrace this council is. Who canafford to pay $8000 in rates? All the council isinterested in is squeezing more money from work-ing class people and not providing adequate ser-vices to the ratepayers who pay their salaries.

Tony A (via web)

Re: Door closes on public housing(Weekly, August 29):Getting rid of public housing in the midst of asevere housing crisis is outrageous. Social housing

is not the same as public housing. When publichousing is sold or given away (transferred) to thesocial housing sector, we often lose 75 per cent ofwhat was once public housing and which is imme-diately converted into private units. The remainingone quarter becomes ‘social housing’ units. Thesocial housing sector cherry picks tenants from thewaiting list preferring working tenants over thosesolely on government benefits.

Fiona Ross (via web)

Re: Infrastructure gap fact of life, saysMP (Weekly, August 22):End our runaway population growth – this is thesolution. We can only expect second-rate infra-structure and living standards as a result. Thebipartisan agreement that ‘‘growth is good’’ is des-troying Victoria. The ‘‘skills shortage’’ justificationis wearing a little thin, especially considering thedeep cuts to TAFE. Nimby (via web)

The shortfall of infrastructure is anything but inev-itable. Julia Gillard dismissed our concerns about‘‘big Australia’’ but still our federal governmentkeeps increasing our immigration rates. McCrindleResearch reveals that two-thirds of our population

growth is from immigration, and we have the high-est population growth of the developed nations.

Viv Kay (via web)

I can’t believe Philip Davis said that. Only Toorakdeserves advanced levels of infrastructure becausethey can afford it, where as us commoners in PointCook can’t even get the most basic of infrastruc-ture, and according to Phil, don’t deserve it. Trulythe most ridiculous comment an MP could make.

Andrew C (via web)

Re: Extra trains, but the crowdingcontinues (Weekly, August 29):A stable population would relieve our over-stretched infrastructure.

Australia’s sustainable choice (via web)

I don’t like being trapped in a train where I amunable to move and this is standing up. Peak-hourservices are a joke on the Werribee line and I feelsorry for anyone that is boarding from Laverton ashalf the time you are lucky if you are even able toget into the train.

Picture: Cathy Jackson

SICK of making the trip to Mel-bourne’s east for a slice of theaction, a wheelchair basketball andhandball club based in Werribee isseeking recruits to get a westernleague off the ground.

The Werribee Roller Devils, aclub for people with or without adisability, is inviting residents tocome to Werribee Sports and Fit-ness Centre and give wheelchairsport a spin.

Member Bradd Smith said while15 players were on the books,fewer than seven regularly turnedout for training and competitions.

‘‘There’s one league in Knox,which we can get to on the train,but it’s just too much of a trip,’’ hesaid.

‘‘It’s only about three or fourtimes a year that we get to competeat tournaments in Coburg, atMSAC [Melbourne Sports and

Aquatic Centre] and in Bendigo.‘‘Having no competition to play

in out here means it’s getting a bitboring, so we need to step thingsup and make things better.’’

Smith says the club is also look-ing for sponsorship, with hopes oftravelling abroad to compete atwheelchair handball champion-ships in Brazil next year.

Wyndham’s Access for All Abil-ities officer Wayne Slattery sayswheelchair basketball and hand-ball are sports anyone can play.

‘‘We have equipment for peoplewanting to get involved, and havewheelchairs available. Families cancome down to compete together ifone brother or sibling is disabled –it’s fantastic to have a sportingactivity they can all join in.’’

During September and October 2012, Melbourne Water will undertake a control program at Truganina Swamp to reduce the number of rabbits. This is part of our commitment to responsible land management, biodiversity conservation and continued good amenity for our neighbours.

Licensed vermin contractors will lay baits within the fenced conservation area using Pindone. Visitors to the area are reminded that Truganina Swamp is a conservation zone and the following precautions should be observed:

• Remain on established pathways

• Do not attempt to enter the fenced area

• Ensure children and pets remain outside restricted areas

• Do not touch or handle animal carcasses

• Observe warning signs and follow any instructions

If you suspect a pet may have come into contact with Pindone bait, seek veterinary treatment immediately as an antidote is available.

Contact Phil Menzies on 0458 371 785.

CYBER bullying is a whole-of-communityresponsibility, winners of the Gellibrand studentrepresentative council debate successfully arguedon Thursday.

The topic for debate was: ‘‘It is the responsibil-ity of parents to prevent bullying, including cyberbullying’’. After a closely fought battle, studentsfor the negative side successfully argued thateveryone had a role to play, including the media.

Speakers for the affirmative side wereBraybrook College’s Nhi Tran and EltayebEltayeb, Maribyrnong Secondary College’sMichael Savarin and Williamstown HighSchool’s Hannah Ross.

Arguing that cyber bullying should be dealtwith holistically were Anna Nguyen of GilmoreCollege for Girls, Footscray Secondary College’sRosie D’Argent, Bayside College’s Irena Vecrisand Emmanuel College’s Michael Ricci.

Anna Nguyen told the Weekly that bullyingneeded to be dealt with differently becausecurrent measures weren’t working.

‘‘I really do believe the community should takepart in the stopping of cyber bullying and actualbullying at schools,’’ she said.

‘‘It is a big problem at our schools. The schools

are trying to do something, but they keep repeat-ing every year. It doesn’t do much.

‘‘Cyber bullying, I think, is a really big issueright now because the age keeps getting youngerand younger every year.

‘‘I hope the government’s going to do some-thing about it and it’s going to get [bullying]reduced some day.’’

Federal Attorney-General and Gellibrand MPNicola Roxon, who was on the judging panel,said the government was trying to ensure lawskept up with changing patterns of behaviour.

‘‘But, ultimately, it is a whole-society prob-lem,’’ she said. ‘‘I am convinced by the argumentthat parents, governments, society, media,everyone, needs to be involved in findingsolutions to this.’’

The winning team will tour Parliament Housenext month, meeting federal ministers andattending question time.

Goya Dmytryshchak was on the four-member judging panel, which alsocomprised two representatives of theDebating Association of Victoria.

‘Don’t fence me in’Injured Leigh’s still happy, writes Nick Toscano

Whenever Leigh Bessell is told hemight be bound to a wheel-chair or forever struggle with

speaking, it prompts the samereaction.

‘‘I take their hand, shake their handand say ‘Congratulations. You’ll beone of the people I prove wrong’.’’

The Tarneit resident, 25, doesn’tremember the night his motorbikeveered off the road and crashed into awire fence at the Townsville RAAFbase when he was in the air force.

Passing US marines found himunconscious and ice-cold about 2am.

‘‘They thought I was dead whenthey found me and they felt me. That’show cold I was. I had hypothermia.’’

Like one in 45 Australians, Mr Bes-sell lives with an acquired brain injury(ABI). While strokes account for mostcases, accidents are the second-mostcommon cause. Of these traumaticABIs, a third occur on the road. Two-

thirds of people are under 25 whenthey’re injured. After waking from acoma, Mr Bessell spent a year in rehabin Melbourne, before returning hometo Tarneit.

His experience has given him aunique take on life — and the cha-risma and confidence to approachstrangers at a cafe and have a mean-ingful conversation. If it wasn’t for hisaccident, Mr Bessell reckons hewouldn’t be as happy, and certainlynot as outgoing.

‘‘I don’t blame the world aboutwhat happened. I don’t sit around andmoan about it. I believe everything inlife happens for a reason.

‘‘I shake too much and I need thiswheelchair. I am like I am now for areason, whether it’s to prepare me forwhat I do next, or whether if it’s some-one to find me, or someone to hear mystory and get some kind of realisationin their own life.’’

Carley Quinn knows what it feelslike to lose a loved one to cancer.The Werribee resident, 16, lost

her grandfather to leukaemia eightyears ago.

His death was soon followed bythose of three other family memberswho had cancer.

She hopes that by taking part in theLeukaemia Foundation’s Light theNight walk this month she can helpspare others the same pain.

‘‘I saw the pain he was in and knowthe struggle of losing family membersto this disease,’’ Carley (pictured) said.

‘‘Gramps had a painful death. It wasa horrible experience watching himdie. We were getting called down toGeelong every week and he wasgetting worse and worse.

‘‘I was very little and never really gotover it so I hope that taking part inLight the Night can help me do that.’’

Carley is taking part in the walk forthe first time, having found out aboutit a few months ago. She hopes it’ssomething she can do again.

‘‘So many people have familymembers who have died from canceror leukaemia and this can help themout,’’ she said.

‘‘It’s definitely a good cause becauseyou can help raise money for researchinto leukaemia.’’

Light the Night participants walkaround Melbourne’s AlexandraGardens with lanterns lit in honour oftheir loved ones with leukaemia.

Carley’s friends and family, who shesays have offered her lots of support,will join her on the walk.

Light the Night is on September 26from 5.30pm. To take part,or to sponsor Carley, visitlightthenight.org.au.

Students from Thomas Carr College swappedtheir beds for the floor of the school hall onFriday night to help tackle homelessness.

The school’s Young Vinnies group organised awinter sleepout to boost St Vincent de Paul’ssupplies of canned food, winter clothing andblankets.

About 55 students and 18 teachers took part,along with representatives from youth groupsfrom St Peters and St James churches. The event isdesigned to give participants an idea of what it’slike to sleep on the streets.

Year 10 social justice captain Stephanie Burgiosaid students organised the sleepout because theywanted to help.

‘‘We knew about the winter sleepout appealand thought it was something we could help outwith. We all like promoting good causes.’’

Year 11 liturgy captain Chloe-Jean Adrianosaid the group hoped it would become an annualevent. ‘‘We wanted to raise awareness as a collegeand show the community that we are doing ourpart to help those in need. We wanted people toexperience what homeless people go through.’’

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 Anderson

Wes 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 runby the smoking do-gooder Scout Master Ward(Edward Norton in fine form). When they flee,

full of youthful ambition, hopeful dreams andunusually adult cynicism, they spark a huge man-hunt of odd characters including the harsh SocialServices – a character played with swishing-capeaction by a gleefully evil Tilda Swinton – and theviolent Scouts who so 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.

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.

I’ve talked about it before in this column.There seems to be a plethora of urban,switched-on cafes opening all over the west

and Seddon is certainly getting its fair share ofthem.

Chicco opened only a few months ago inCharles Street.

The room has been freshened up, or mademore retro depending on your opinion ofmacrame pot plant holders. The room is liberallydressed with the knotted twine and it works,creating warmth against the white walls, thefront bar area and a clutter of bottles and jarsgives the room a central focus.

Arrive for breakfast and you’ll find well-madePadre coffee (roasted in Brunswick) and a menuthat includes lots of good bread from Dench

bakery served with various accompaniments —simple poached or scrambled eggs ($9), or house-made baked beans with red onion, spinach andfeta ($15.50).

Finding ourselves there for lunch, the menumaintains the ethos of good quality produce

treated well at a great price. A minute steaksandwich ($18) is impossible to pass on.

The thinly sliced, seared beef is just the righttexture and tenderness to sink into the goodbread and it’s smeared with a good beetrootrelish, cheddar cheese, lots of Dijon mustard for

a subtle kick served with a side of fries. The menualso features some good vegetarian dishes, afalafel salad with housemade pickles, spinachand a smoky baba ganoush ($15) is a texturalearthy dish with the added acidic bite of thepickle and depth of the smoky eggplant dip.

The ricotta gnocchi ($16), not the easiest dishto make, is a plate of buoyant and well-cookedpuffs of gnocchi with pesto and shaved pecorinocheese.

Overall, the servings are ample and generousand the ingredients well-seasoned and cookedbeautifully.

Chicco is also licensed with an ever-changingwine list on the blackboard and a neat little beerand cider list where you can enjoy a Kirin beerfrom Japan or an Italian Moretti beer. It’s thatkind of place, broad in its options and goodvalue. There are plans to open nights soon too —watch this space.

Wired for soundAt last, a television that sounds as good as it looks, writes Rod Easdown

It’s a weird thing that so few electronicscompanies market a complete home cinemapackage. Lots of them make screens and

sound systems, but when it comes to packagingthe two together, they mostly leave that to theirdealers.

Maybe it’s because when packaged soundsystems started to become a genuine marketingproposition — and I reckon that happened whenSony introduced the DAVS300 at $1499 in 2000— we all had cathode ray tube televisionsbecause flat panel plasmas were still the stuff ofdreams. Back then, they were nudging $20,000.

Ever since, sound and vision have continued todevelop separately, to be bought in separatepackages and put together at home by the buyer.

Well, Bose may have just changed all that. Ithas two televisions, a 117cm and a 140cm, withsound built in. Now we’re not talking the regularcouple of minuscule speakers at the bottom ofthe panel that rattle around like tinny old soupcans. Embedded in the back of the television aresix bass drivers using the same waveguide

technology that delivers such rich, crisp bass inthe brand’s Wave Radio.

And there are 10 additional higher rangedrivers that shoot the sound in a number ofdirections so that, as it bounces off walls andceilings around the room, it gives the impressionof surround sound. This idea is not new; Yamahamade it mainstream tech seven years ago with itsfirst soundbar, the $2500 YSP1, and whileit’s still nowhere near as good as the realthing, it works better these days thanks to cleverelectronics.

With the Bose you put on a headset with abuilt-in microphone and take your seat, and thesystem calibrates the speakers to get the correctsound at that point, whatever the shape of theroom may be. It’s all done in minutes and, if youchange the position of the television you just runit through the routine once more.

Despite the generous sound you’re hearing, allyou see is a television and a small console belowit, into which can be plugged your Blu-ray orDVD player, satellite box, games console or

whatever. And there’s only one cable runningbetween this console and the screen.

The speaker array behind the screen meansthat the screen’s cabinet is not the slimmest in thegame, but it is slim enough to be wall-mountedwith minimal intrusion into the room.

The odd thing is that these televisions have notuner, so you’ll need a set-top box or a videorecorder.

The system is controlled by a simple remotethat can be touch-memorised in no time, and itoperates through radio frequency rather thatinfra-red. This means your equipment can bekept inside a cabinet and the remote will stilloperate, and it doesn’t have to be pointed at theequipment to work.

For the package, you pay $6999 for the 117cmand $1000 more for the 140cm.

New doctor adds tosuccessful practice

Since opening in September last year, Derrimut Road Health Clinic has gone from strength to strength, says practice

manager Leigh Stevenson.“We have a team of practitioners with a range of specialties who are totally focused on delivering fi rst-class medical treatments,” explains Leigh.“We now have a new full-time doctor on board, Dr Maghu Ramachadran, who has settled with his family in the area and is here to stay.”Dr Ramachadran, who was an undergraduate at Sheffi eld University in the UK, did three years in surgery before deciding to complete a postgraduate in primary care (general practice).He has a particular interest in children’s health, care of the elderly and chronic disease care but is competent in all minor surgical procedures which are performed at the clinic.Dr Ramachadran is able to carry out surgicalcosmetic procedures - and the clinic now provides anti-wrinkle injections.

The clinic has the services of a dietician, diabetes educator, dentist, physiotherapist and podiatrist which enable the practice to give the best care possible to patients with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, asthma or heart disease.Health assessments offered include those for patients older than 75, children’s checks and patients at risk of diabetes.The team of doctors include Dr Menaka Weeraratne (a female doctor), and doctors Getulio Lumbes and Sione Sisifa who have worked in the Wyndham area for many years. They are ably assisted by receptionist Deb Bonanno and practice nurse Ros Holden

ILHA GRANDE, BRAZILGetting there: Fly to Rio or Sao Paulo,

catch a bus to Angra dos Reis city then

a catamaran to the island.

Accommodation: Pousada Mata

Nativa, Rua de Flores, 44 Vila do

Abraao, Ilha Grande.

More details: ilhagrande.com.ar.

As its name suggests, Ilha Grande is big —in more ways than one, writes Rebecca Miller

Portuguese for ‘big island’, IlhaGrande is like a South Americanversion of the Whitsundays, but

with a cultural twist.It’s accessible only by boat — either

a 45-minute catamaran ride (which Iwas supposed to be on had it notbroken down) or a 11⁄2 hour journey inan old brightly coloured wooden boat.

I shared the latter with tourists andlocals bringing meat (leaking bloodover the boats floor) and producefrom the mainland of Angra dos Reis.However, this failed to spoil the idyllicviews of the crystal clear bay and theBrazilian eye candy, in the form of twochocolate-skinned boat captains. Andso the cultural experience began.

The 10-minute walk to the hotel, ahut complete with hammock, wasmade easier with the help of a localman happy to carry my luggage for asmall tip.

While admittedly I spent manyhours reading in the hammock duringmy time on Ilha Grande, for the adven-turous the island has more than 100beaches and plenty of activities fromboat cruises to hikes, cave diving andbathing under waterfalls.

The island wasn’t always a touristdestination. It once served as a route tothe slave trade and until 1994, housedan operating jail.

Along with the beautiful surroundsand friendly locals, the oasis also hadsome cheap but tasty food. Brazilianbuffets were a hit and it was hard topass up a delicious slice of cake fromthe roaming night stalls.

To top it all off, the weather wasperfect. Depending on the season, youcan expect 18- 28 degrees — a niceescape from Melbourne’s coolerweather. Another perk of the island isthere are virtually no cars, which helps

create a quiet and pollution-freeenvironment. The English-Portugueselanguage barrier varies dependingwhere you visit (accommodation,eateries, shops). Some locals speakEnglish while others don’t, so a quicklesson in Portuguese before you arrivecould make life easier.

Exchanging money before arrivingon the island is advised.

This is a great, unique destinationfor travellers who want to surroundthemselves with picturesque scenery attheir own pace.

Be your bestBend it like Bikram

To look in the mirror and love every aspect of one’s body without wanting to change a thing is rare...

but possible. With yoga exercises and a bit of perspiration,

people can be strutting their stuff with the confi dence of a bikini model, says Shaan Lim, Bikram yoga instructor and studio director of Bikram Yoga Werribee.

She believes her seven years’ experience can help people achieve this.

‘‘Men and women can do this, along with reaching other goals they have on their wish-lists: toning up, losing weight, improving strength, fl exibility and relaxing the body and mind,’’ Shaan says.

‘‘Bikram yoga is a series of 26 postures (asanas) and two breathing exercises (pranayamas) performed in a heated room to about 39 degrees for 90 minutes.

‘‘As the body begins to shed unwanted kilos it will take on a new, more toned shape that fi ts better in clothes and looks better naked.

“For just $19, new members can receive unlimited yoga and feel the benefi ts in 10 days,’’ Shaan says.

The heat and humidity, she explains, mean that the lungs work at full capacity, pushing them and the heart to work harder and gain strength.

Toxins are pushed out of internal organs, and through sweat make the body healthier. The added perspiration and heat makes muscles more limber, enabling people to achieve deeper stretching and avoid injury.

Bikram yoga is enjoyed by many students, including Sarah Taylor, who says she’s a changed woman since doing the exercises.

‘‘When I was 20 (29 years ago), I had a serious car accident and spent eight weeks in hospital and six months on crutches. I was told I would always walk with a limp and suffer from arthritis later on.

‘‘Bikram yoga has achieved for me in one year something my physio and other exercise had not been able to achieve in the past 15 years.

‘‘Ninety-fi ve per cent of the time I am pain free. Bikram yoga has improved my mind, body and soul.’’

Shaan says Bikram Yoga Werribee is the only authorised Bikram yoga studio in the western suburbs and all teachers are certifi ed instructors.

Bikram Yoga Werribee, at Level 1, 99 Watton Street, Werribee, opens daily. Inquiries: 9004 5282 or bikramyogawerribee.com.au

Shaan Lim believes yoga can play an important role in people’s lives.

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.

Step up, sohair’s downBY LANCE JENKINSON

HOPPERS Crossing got to party like it was 1999on Saturday night.

The Reds clinched their first title in 13 longyears with a 3-0 drubbing of West Preston atGrange Reserve.

Now they’ll go up a division as the championsof the provisional league 2 north-west.

Reds coach Joey Vella said that post-game cele-brations were ‘‘pretty big’’ at Heaths Road.

‘‘It’s nice to be able to do it at your own homeground,’’ he said.

‘‘We had a lot of guys there who had won it thelast time.’’

This premiership has been a long time comingfor Vella and the Reds.

In his five years at the helm, Vella has seen hiswin-loss record improve year on year.

The Reds desperately wanted to avoid a repeatof the near miss last season and left nothing tochance this campaign by cementing top spot withtwo weeks still to play.

‘‘We’ve done everything a bit earlier than usual,which is nice,’’ Vella said.

‘‘I’m more pleased for the boys than anythingelse because all their hard work has come tofruition.

‘‘We can now relax a bit in the last two games.’’What is most impressive about the Reds is the

manner in which they have achieved the feat.To this point, they have had only one slip-up

and a draw in 20 matches.They have a goal difference of plus-39.‘‘All the players’ standards have been pretty

high all year and they’re self-driven,’’ Vella said.‘‘When you’re so far in front of the rest of the

teams, you can probably start thinking it’s OK todrop a game here and there, but they’ve kept theirstandards up all year.’’

Those standard did not drop one iota as theyclinically dismantled West Preston.

The Reds got the go-ahead goal in the 15thminute when a quickly taken free kick from TomOrndahl landed in the possession of BrettGilmore, who turned his defender in the 18-yardbox and fired low past the keeper.

They had to wait until the second half to doubletheir lead in a similar fashion with the ball playedto the feet of Gilmore, who swivelled to take hisshot, but was chopped down from behind and thereferee pointed to the spot for specialist penaltytaker Gus Dos Santos to make it 2-0.

The third goal fittingly came from prolificstriker Alister Smart with 10 minutes to go.

All the Reds had to do was wait for a resultfrom the Laverton Park and Epping City contestand the nil-all draw would suffice to spark the titlecelebrations.

Werribee City moved up to third on the stateleague 1 ladder with a 5-2 mauling of the BulleenLions at the Veneto Club on Monday night.

Defence puts Rhinos in hot seat

Divine help: Wyndham City Rhinos 10-point star Tipene Pihere looks to the heavensafter scoring a crucial try. Picture: Scott McNaughton

BY LANCE JENKINSON

WILL it be third time lucky forWyndham City Rhinos in theVictorian Rugby Union A gradegrand final?

The last two times the Rhinos havemade a trip to the big dance, it hasended in tears.

They suffered a gut-wrenchingone-point loss to Melbourne in theseason decider last September and itwas the same margin in 2009 whenthey were edged out by Moorabbin.

Rhinos coaching director DarrenTaylor told the Weekly that failuresin recent grand finals were not aburden for his club. Rather they’re apoint of reference on how to prepareand handle the big day.

‘‘We use them for motivation and alittle bit for the experience,’’ he said.

‘‘Can we make things better? Arewe going to learn from our mistakesin grand finals in the past?’’

The Rhinos advanced to the grandfinal with a hard-fought 20-16 winover Eltham in the preliminary finalat Mossfiel Reserve on Saturday.

A blistering start, which saw theRhinos score 10 unanswered points,paved the way for the victory.

‘‘We started the game extremelywell,’’ Taylor said. ‘‘Eltham were abit nervous. You could see that withthe mistakes they were making andwe capitalised on it.

‘‘It was only a matter of timebefore we got points on the board.’’

It took just eight minutes for theRhinos to cross the try-line.

Brendan Vardey found a gap in thedefence at the 22-metre line and pas-sed on the inside to Andre Petaia,

who scored under the post. The trywas converted by Tipene Pihere.

Pihere was reaching for the kick-ing tee again four minutes later whenthe Rhinos received a penalty deep intheir territory and he converted tomake it 10-0.

Eltham found a way back into the

contest, scoring two penalty goalsand a try just before half-time to takean unlikely 11-10 lead.

There were ominous signs for theRhinos and the half-time break couldnot have come at a better time.

‘‘As the game went on, they startedfinding their rhythm and they came

home strongly,’’ Taylor said. ‘‘Theydone the nitty gritty stuff and wemade a few errors.’’

Pihere traded the kicking boots forhis hands to put the Rhinos in thelead with an unconverted try.

He was the beneficiary of a breath-taking move that saw the ball gothrough the hands of Levi Clark andFilisione Pouta.

The Rhinos got their all-importantinsurance-try after Apireru Mailabarged over for a try, carrying twoEltham defenders over the line whodared to get in his way.

The drama was not over as theRhinos went down to 14 afterShannon Tutty was sin-binned for ahead-high shot.

The Rhinos defence worked over-time to continue repelling Elthamattacks on their line.

Eventually Eltham crossed, but itcame too late and it ended up losingby four points.

‘‘The boys dug deep when we werea man down,’’ Taylor said. ‘‘We werea metre off our line constantly forabout 10 minutes. Our defence wasawesome.’’

The Rhinos are preparing for theirfourth A grade grand final in theirnine-year VRU existence.

Tevita Talau is the only player tohave featured in all four grand finals.

The Rhinos are hoping to repeattheir only win from back in 2007,but opponents Northern will presenta major obstacle at Sparks Reserve inBox Hill on Saturday.

‘‘It’s so tight,’’ Taylor said. ‘‘Theboys are pumped and ready to go.

‘‘There’s only 80 minutes of rugbystanding between history.’’

Liston win sure to catch AFL scouts’ eyesIT is one of the feel-good stories of the VictorianFootball League.

Ben Ross was considered unlucky to be delistedby Werribee Tigers affiliate North Melbourne atthe end of last season and became a free agent.

The 23 year old had the right to choose which-ever club he felt would be a good fit for his foot-ball career, but took the unusual step of stayingwith the Tigers, even though he was detachedfrom the Kangaroos.

Ross felt comfortable at Watton Street and theTigers were not going to let a player of hisimmense quality go without a fight.

As it turned out, the Tigers did not have muchconvincing to do, as Ross felt his best chance tomake a speedy return to the big league was back atWatton Street.

The gun midfielder is not not one to mope.

As soon as he dusted off the disappointment ofhis delisting by the Kangaroos, Ross was on thephone to then Tigers coach Paul Satterley, tellinghim that he wanted to play a big part in the club’s2011 finals series.

Ross was one of the stars in the Tigers finalscampaign that ended abruptly with a heavypreliminary final loss to western suburbs rivalsWilliamstown.

Satterley left, taking up a plum assistant-coaching position with AFL club Melbourne, butRoss pledged his allegiance to the Tigers, got backto work in the pre-season and bought into the newregime, led by coach Scott West.

Ross’s decision to stay a Tiger was proved theright one at the VFL’s night of nights on Mondaynight at Etihad Stadium.

The hard-working onballer took home the

JJ Liston Trophy for best-and-fairest player in theVFL seniors.

Ross finished with 20 votes, one ahead of CaseyScorpions young gun Tom Couch and two morethan the widely tipped John Baird, from PortMelbourne.

Ross became the fifth Tiger to win the award,following in the footsteps of Anthony Eames(1991), Satterley (1995), Michael Frost (1998)and James Podsiadly (2008).

It was a well-deserved win which should thrusthis name before the AFL recruiters once more.

Of course, that’s only once Ross completes hisunfinished business with the Tigers in this year’sfinals series. They’re just one win away from agrand final after beating Casey Scorpions inSunday’s qualifying final.

Shock electrifies PiesBY LANCE JENKINSON

THE quarter-time huddle proved asanctuary for Parkside coach NathanJuegan and his under-siege players.

The out-of-sorts Magpies weredown in all key elements in the first30 minutes, failed to make an impres-sion on the goal umpires’ scorecardand found themselves a jaw-dropping42-to-zip down to a fired-up Wynd-hamvale Falcons in a bizarre start tothe Western Region Football Leaguedivision 2 preliminary final at CroftsReserve on Sunday.

Juegan had no inkling the Magpieswere going to break down so easilyinto what he rated a three-goal winddisadvantage in the first term.

‘‘I was a bit surprised,’’ he told theWeekly. ‘‘I had a really good feeling inthe rooms before the game.

‘‘We were very stagnant in the firstquarter and didn’t play to instruction.

‘‘[Wyndhamvale] were pressing upnice and hard and our forwards weregetting caught behind and weren’tpushing up or being accountable fortheir opponents.

‘‘We knocked that on the head atquarter-time and changed our tacticsfor the second and third quarters.’’

The Magpies reverted to good oldfashioned one-on-one footy for therest of the day and it worked a treat.

They ran out 38-point winners, butonly after one hell of a fright.

Juegan was proud of the way hisplayers fought their way back from adire situation.

‘‘To be seven goals down and fightback and win showed a lot of charac-ter and a massive will to win,’’ he said.

The Magpies were at their breath-taking best in the final three quarters.

They outscored the Falcons 18 goalsto six in that time to gain a much-needed confidence boost ahead of adaunting grand final bout withundefeated Yarraville-Seddon.

Getting on top in the clearances wasthe key — an area they had no influ-ence over in the opening term.

Ruckman Alex Lockhart was pivo-tal in providing first use of the ball to

his onball brigade. ‘‘The last threequarters we dominated stoppagework, centre clearances, throw upsand boundary throw-ins,’’ Juegansaid.

Chris Muratore did a power ofwork in the clinches for the Magpies.

The vice-captain displayed tremend-ous leadership when his side wasreeling.

‘‘He was probably our most influen-tial player for the day,’’Juegan said.

‘‘His ball use around the groundwas fantastic and his work ethic istremendous. He’s got a big engine andgoes all day.’’

Cult figure Mo Khartabil was a keyaddition to the Magpies line-up.

The powerful forward straightenedthe team up and finished with sixgoals.

The Magpies would not be alivetoday if it wasn’t for the influence ofthe back six of Darcy McMahon,Drew Vincent, Joe Jamieson, DavidDa Silva, Aaron McHutcheson andMatthew Robinson.

Wyndhamvale was shellshocked inthe post match. For the second yearrunning, the Falcons were a gameshort of playing off in a grand final.

Devan Ellis was best for the Falcons,burrowing in at the stoppages, andLuke Klein-Breteler and JamesDamjanovski were outstanding.

Proud Bulldogs outof flag contentionPOINT Cook’s first venture into the VictorianAmateur Football Association division 4 finalswas a short-lived affair.

The Bulldogs were at the mercy of the EleyPark Sharks in a 66-point first semi-final loss WAScammell Reserve on Saturday.

The Sharks piled on a massive 51 scoring shotsto 25 in the free-flowing game and only inaccur-acy in front of goal stopped them inflicting aneven heavier beating.

Mark Pozzuto, Jordan Lampi and AndrewAuciello fought hard for the Doggies throughoutthe four quarters.

Ricky Munn and Aaron Marsh had the Midastouch in attack with three goals apiece.

The Bulldogs can be proud of their efforts toreach the finals under coach Daniel Fraser in justtheir third season of senior football.

Ghosts buried as Vikings create historyBY LANCE JENKINSON

ALTONA has prevailed in a titanic struggle overdefending champions Spotswood to movethrough to the Western Region Football Leaguedivision 1 grand final for a historic first time.

The Vikings held sway for most of Saturday’senthralling 11-point second semi-final win atAvalon Airport Oval, but could not kill off theplucky Woodsmen until the midway point of apulsating last quarter.

That is when the mercurial talents of TravisLunardi went to work. He delivered a knockoutcombination with a booming goal from 50 me-tres out at the 10-minute mark, followed byanother goal on the run five minutes later, cappedoff with exuberant celebrations befitting theimportant moments.

While the Vikings had their noses in front formost of the game, the Woodsmen battled hard tomake it a close contest, despite having the burdenof being three rotations down for most of thesecond half, including a game-ending hamstringinjury to player-coach Chris O’Keefe.

When the Woodsmen got to within threepoints after five-goal forward Christian Elliottbooted two goals in the opening two minutes of

the last quarter, a comeback seemed to be on thecards.

But the Vikings knew what was at stake — achance to bury the ghosts of last year’s gut-wrenching one-point preliminary final loss to theWoodsmen and an opportunity to be the firstteam since the club’s arrival in the WRFL [for-merly Footscray District Football League] toreach a top-flight grand final.

‘‘They certainly came hard at us at the end,’’Vikings captain Josh Russo said.

‘‘The fact that we wanted to make a grand finaldrove us.

‘‘We were never going to give up.’’

This match can be classified an instant classic.The pendulum swung all game with pressure

— be it actual or perceived — at its highest.The WRFL’s newest rivalry is delivering each

time the clubs lock horns.‘‘We’ve had a few of those battles with Spotty

the last four times we’ve played them,’’ Vikingscoach Anthony Eames said.

‘‘It was a see-saw all day.‘‘Spotty never do [stop]. Even then, with two

or three down for the last quarter and a half, itreally made no difference to their output on thefield.

‘‘Every time we threatened and got three goalsup, they hit back again.’’

The Woodsmen are no stranger to great finalsmatches.

They have played in some of the more memor-able ones en route to winning four of the past fivepremierships.

Despite his side being on the wrong end of thescoreline, O’Keefe could still the game for what itwas worth.

‘‘It was a terrific game of football from tworeally good teams,’’ he said.

‘‘It’s what you expect from a one-versus-twofinal.’’

Master stroke does for ‘escape artists’

BY LANCE JENKINSON

HOPPERS Crossing pulled off aHoudini act to come from behind andupset Port Melbourne Colts by fivepoints in a cutthroat Western RegionFootball League division 1 firstsemi-final at Avalon Airport Ovalon Sunday.

The Warriors extricated themselvesfrom a perilous position with a mind-blowing late recovery to book theirticket to Saturday’s blockbuster pre-liminary final against Spotswood atAvalon Airport Oval.

The outlook was grim for the Warri-ors as late as the last quarter, after theyhad trailed by 35 points at quarter-time, 28 at the half and 20 entering thelast. The Colts had further extendedtheir lead with the first goal of the lastquarter and the Warriors were at aroll-the-dice stage.

Warriors coach David Mitchell tookcontrol of the situation. He made thebrave move of taking Daniel Riosafrom full-back, where he was at leaston par with Colts star forward JasePerkins, and threw him into the ruckto give youngster Scott Greenhough awell-earned breather after battling oneof the league’s premier ruckmen, BradJulier, for the best part of 31⁄2 quarters.

The move worked a treat becauseRiosa leaped over a tiring Julier, put-ting the ball down the throats of hisonballers.

‘‘It was a master stroke move,’’ War-riors captain Brad Murphy said. ‘‘Wecouldn’t lose the game at that stage —we could only win it. He tapped itdown my throat three times and wegot three centre clearances. He said‘I’m going to tap it here, here and here’and I just got there and it landed onmy chest. We got three quick goalsfrom it.’’

The goals to Brydon Coles, hissecond of the game, former captainJake Mutton and Kieran Butty got theWarriors to within a kick.

With scores level, the Colts had aprime opportunity to move ahead bysix points, but a Steven McAnultybanana kick went astray and it gavethe Warriors a chance to relaunch forone last push for a match-winner.

The Warriors’ kick-out structureallowed them to negotiate a passagethrough the Colts’ forward press and anice build-up of play would see theball land in the bread basket of for-ward Kade Carey.

It was a tough kick, five metres infrom the boundary and he had to kickpunt it his full range. There wereoptions, but this was a job for theNo. 1 forward, the big-name recruit,and he delivered with a goal to put theWarriors ahead by five points with aminute to go.

‘‘The confidence of the bloke to goback and kick goals from the 50-metreline when the game was there to bewon is unbelievable,’’ Murphy said.

‘‘He kicked it through goal posthigh — an unbelievable kick.’’

The last minute was, in the words ofMurphy, ‘‘total chaos’’.

The Warriors were trying everythingto hold out the Colts and the AaronRamsay concession of a 50-metre pen-alty did nothing to help their cause.

The Colts launched the ball as longand hard as they possibly could, onlyto be met with the water-tight defenceof the Warriors, who flooded theirbackline with bodies.

Stuck in the zone, Murphy did nothear the final siren — just the reactionof the Warriors fans.

‘‘They booted it into the goal squareand we all just dived in on the footy,’’Murphy said. Then the siren went andwe didn’t hear it at all.

‘‘I heard the crowd screaming andsaw everyone was jumping up anddown. That feeling you get 30 secondsafter the siren goes is one of those all-time great feelings.’’

Carey will get credit as the match-winner for his five goals.

But, for the most valuable over thefour quarters, you could not look pastRiosa for his defensive work in thefirst three quarters and then his tapwork in the last.

Mutton, Murphy and Murphy Wattwere outstanding at the clearances.

So, too, was Greenhough, madeavailable to the Warriors only becausethe Western Jets season had alreadywrapped up. And Chris Latella was a‘rock’ in defence.

The ‘smoky’ Warriors are alive andkicking. They have the Woodsmen intheir sights and can’t wait for the chal-lenge.

‘‘The momentum we’ll now take in-to the Spotswood game, you can’tunderstand how important it is,’’Murphy said. ‘‘We’re so full of confid-ence at the moment.

‘‘We’re going to get Spotty.’’■ More WRFL, page 53

the inside wordwith SCOTT WEST

A proud sponsor of the Werribee Football Club

It’s hard to believe that the home and away season is over, it only feels like yesterday that it all started. At the start of the year I was asked repeatedly what the expectations were for the year ahead. Without going into details, my simple answer was I wanted us to be competitive. Yes, very simple, but when you break that down further it looks a bit like this: if you’re competitive long enough in games, you give yourself a good chance of winning. If you’re competitive in enough games, you give yourself a chance to win enough games to make finals and if you’re competitive enough in more games, you give yourself the chance to finish top four. And guess what? As simple as that sounds, that’s how our year panned out.

As of the 26th August, a new season has started. What we have done prior to this has given us two chances but that’s it, it’s all about what we do from now on that counts. Gee, sorry I fell into coach mode there for a minute. Well, it’s true. It’s finals time and it’s a special time of the year. This is when you want to play footy. This is when it all counts.

September is a month that defines itself by its smell and feel. I was driving to work the Monday after our last game, had the window down and the t-shirt on, pulled off the freeway ready to turn right into Sneydes Road and as I pulled up to the stop sign, there it was: the warmth on my arm and that smell …yes, that smell: cut grass. You’re probably thinking this bloke is a weirdo, but it’s true - do yourself a favour this weekend, walk out your front door, listen and smell. You will hear lawn mowers and the air will be filled with the smell of cut grass and blossoming trees (sorry if you get hay fever). That’s September. That’s finals time.

In football terms, September is where dreams are made, where dreams are shattered, and trust me, when they’re shattered it never leaves you, and it’s a month where good players can elevate themselves to greatness. I think of players such as Andrew McLeod, Darren Jarman, Jimmy Bartel, Michael Voss and a young fella named Hawkins. This list could go on for a while but these are the sort of players you think about when you talk September, they elevate themselves above the rest. The big stage is there and they own it. It’s one thing to be a good player but it’s another to be the best in when it absolutely counts.

As we head into the finals, I get asked if I’m nervous. Yeah, a little, but excitement would be the overriding emotion. The thing about it is we’re there, we’ve given the club a good opportunity, and it’s what we do with that opportunity that will matter. This might sound familiar but if we compete long enough and hard enough, anything is possible.

I would like to congratulate Brad Scott, Andrew Swallow and the North Melbourne Football Club for making the finals and wish them all the best in September.

‘Soccer’ win was good enough

BY LANCE JENKINSON

WHEN it comes to finals football, any scorelinewill do, as long as it’s your club on the right sideof the ledger.

Werribee Tigers coach Scott West was notfussed that it took a soccer-style six goals to threeto overcome Casey Scorpions by 18 points in adour Victorian Football League qualifying final ata windswept Casey Fields on Sunday.

‘‘Some games aren’t pretty and a lot of finalsgames aren’t pretty,’’ he told the Weekly.

‘‘To win in that style was a great achievement.They weren’t ideal conditions and we grinded ourway to a victory.’’

The Tigers conceded two of the opening threegoals. Thereafter, it was their defensive systemsthat got on top, restricting the minor premiers tojust one goal in the remaining 31⁄2 quarters.

‘‘Our pressure around the footy was terrific,’’West said.

‘‘We had the most tackles we’ve had all year.That’s the way the game was played and we’vestepped up.’’

The Tigers backline was superb. Any time theScorpions threatened, the likes of Leigh Harding,Kyle Hartigan, Jake Wilson, Scott Sherlock, SamWormald and Ayden Kennedy would repel.

Harding was best on ground and it was not justfor his work in the back half.

The playing assistant coach put in his nomina-tion for goal of the day when he kicked the ballout of thin air from a stoppage 20 metres out andsplit the big sticks to ensure a handy nine-pointbreak at half-time.

Rather than focusing on the work of the backsix, West said it took a collective effort from theTigers to cut down the Scorpions’ prime moversand restrict their flow of ball into the 50.

‘‘They did a terrific job, there’s no doubt aboutit,’’ West said of the defence. ‘‘But sometimes thepressure through the middle of the ground makestheir job a bit easier.

‘‘If you can have pressure around the footy, youcan turn the ball over in your half of the groundand we did that.’’

In the low-scoring game, the output of Tigers

target man Ben McKinley proved the difference.The medium-sized forward was the only mul-

tiple goalkicker on the ground with three — andtwo of those came when the game was on the linein the last quarter.

‘‘He’s kicked 3.4 and we kicked 6.10,’’ Westsaid. ‘‘It’s fair to say his impact was pretty good.’’

The Tigers have a bit of time to bask in theglory of their week one finals win and celebratemidfielder Ben Ross’s swoop on the prestigious JJListon Trophy award at VFL’s night of nights onMonday at Etihad Stadium.

They have been rewarded with a safe passageto the preliminary final on September 16, wherethey await the winner of this weekend’s semi-finalclash between the Geelong Cats and Box HillHawks.

‘‘If you can get a path through the finals, win-

ning the first week and having a break ahead of aprelim is the way you’d take it,’’ West said.

‘‘This time of the year, any time you can get alittle bit of a break to freshen up is really benefi-cial.’’

Werribee will face Coburg in a cutthroat semi-final at Casey Fields on Saturday in the VFLdevelopment league for the right to move into thegrand final.■ Ben Ross wins Liston Trophy — page 52 .
