14 14Mayor’s Message2014 Weerama FestivalAs Mayor of Wyndham City I’m pleased to welcome you all to the 2014 Weerama Festival.
This year Weerama features the traditional, colourful Weerama parade and the fi reworks I know are at the top of everyone’s ‘must see’ list.
Not only does Wyndham City have a wonderful art gallery at the Wyndham Cultural Centre, which I encourage you to visit during Weerama, but this year I’m particularly proud that Wyndham City is supporting Dance Republic and Busk at Dusk and hosting a Youth Talent competition.
Dance Republic celebrates diverse cultures through the universal language of dance and dance enthusiasts have been training hard to entertain you. Our fi rst ever Busk at Dusk gives performers who would like to test out their busking skills a chance to sign up – and sing up!
The Youth Talent Competition is for young people aged 12 to 25 and the fi nals will be hosted at Weerama. I wish all of our fi nalists the best of luck.
Weerama is part of a great season of events in Wyndham, including the Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt and Family Picnic at Werribee Park, the State Rose and Garden Show, the Children’s Week Picnic, Australia Day celebrations and the Wyndham Pet Expo.
I would like to congratulate the Weerama organising committee for their hard work in organising this year’s Festival.
Kind Regards,Cr Bob FaircloughWyndham Mayor
WEERAMA:CELEBRATINGCOMMUNITYFor the past 35 years, the city of Wyndham has put on its party face, staging the Weerama street extravaganza that attracts about 30,000 people wanting fl at-out fun and a feeling of connectedness with their neighbours.
It’s a full-throttle celebration of local culture, talent, skills and amazing creativity. This year, the Busk at Dusk event in Station Street is a new kid on the block, giving musos and entertainers the chance to show off their talents as families enjoy a picnic in the park.
Melbourne Tigers basketball crew roar into town with their bus, ready to shoot some hoops with the kids and being their own brand of magic with a round ball.
There are amusement rides, street food, music of all stripes and crafty bargains to be bagged. Kids can meet their Despicable Me2 heroes
and join in loads of activities dotted about the place. And the Bon Jovi & P!nk show lights up the YPA Main Stage on Saturday.
Who could miss the Hoppers Club street parade down Watton Street on Sunday? And the annual fi reworks? They’re on and as big and bright as ever.
Wonderful Weerama: Show off your patch to out-of-town friends and feast to the full on the festive fabulousness.

time to break our road gridlock, says councilROADS
Wyndham council has demanded the state government provide funding to duplicate the city’s gridlocked roads, saying congestion has become “totally intolerable”.
� e council’s 2013 tra� c volumes report, released on Monday night, revealed 21 of the city’s arterial roads are at, or over, capacity.
Fi� een of these roads are the responsibility of VicRoads and were considered to be at capacity in 2012.
Forsyth Road , south of Old Geelong Road, was the city’s most congested arterial for the third year in a row, carrying 39,900 vehicles a day. A two-lane road is considered to be at
reach Monday night’s council meeting. � e journey used to take 10 minutes. “� is really highlights the need for the government to
step up to the plate now and act urgently to fund road infrastructure for our
most congested roads,” he said.“It is disappointing when
you get a typical road built for 18,000-20,000 vehicle movements
per day and we are getting in excess of 38,000 vehicle movements a day.”
Cr Goodfellow accused the government of giving the council “drips and drabs” to � x unnecessary roads.
VicRoads’ north-west director, Patricia Liew , said the organisation was aware of
capacity if it carries more than 18,000 vehicles a day. Four-lane roads have a capacity of 35,000 vehicles.
Leakes Road had the greatest increase in tra� c over the past 12 months, with volumes rising 21 per cent.
Cr John Gibbons said congestion on Wyndham’s roads had become so bad that it regularly took him 40 minutes to travel to work in Truganina from his house in Hoppers Crossing. “I think the tra� c around us has become unbelievable and is totally intolerable.”
Cr Glenn Goodfellow said it took him 43 minutes to travel along Derrimut Road to
changing tra� c patterns and volumes in Wyndham. “Future improvements to the arterial road network in Wyndham will be made in the context of the outcomes of the metropolitan planning strategy [Plan Melbourne],” she said.
“VicRoads has prepared a business case for the duplication of the 3.6-kilometre section of Dohertys Road between Fitzgerald Road and Grieve Parade.
“� e proposal will be submitted for funding consideration under a future program.” \

great mail on making rafael’s dayPOINT COOK
A� er spending almost half his life battling cancer, Rafael Moraes is looking forward to his 10th birthday.
But instead of presents, the Point Cook boy wants birthday cards – hundreds of them.
“He’s the type of kid who reads everything written on cards, even the maker’s printed words,” his mother, Natasha Moraes, says.
Rafael has neuroblastoma , a solid tumour cancer of the sympathetic nervous system. He was diagnosed in 2008 and, a� er a few years free of medical intervention, is undergoing regular chemotherapy and other treatments.
A Werribee childcare worker has organised a “card-a-thon” for the grade 4 Westbourne Grammar pupil .
His father, Domingoes Moraes, says the cards will � ll his son with joy.
“� is will cheer him up so much,” he said. “� e idea of someone sending him a birthday card will make him feel special.”
Mrs Moraes says that, depending on his health, Rafael hopes to spend his March 25 birthday at a school camp at Anglesea.
“He loves school, he loves his friends and teachers and wants to go to camp, but so far
he has only managed a few days of school this year,” she says.
“Everything depends on his health; he’s now on a more aggressive form of chemotherapy and has had to be on a morphine drip to control pain.”
Tierney Randal , who works at the Wyndham Early Years Learning Activity Centre, organised the card-a-thon through Facebook.
“Rafael is almost 10 years old and doesn’t remember life without cancer,’’ she says. ‘‘We just want to help him.” \

MY TOWN
Sometimes it’s easy to forget what it means to be a community, especially when we’re regularly reading news
of neighbourhood disputes, road rage, robberies and other nastiness.
It’s events like the Weerama Festival and the Point Cook airshow that remind us how great it is to live in an area like Wyndham. � ey allow us to discover the awesome hidden things around us .
Luckily, you have lots of community love coming your way this weekend, with both events happening at the same time.
� e Weerama parade is a rite of passage for many Wyndham kids involved in dancing and other sports.
I’ll never forget walking through crowds of people to proudly keep up with my daughter’s dancing group many years ago.
� e usually exhaust fume-� lled Watton Street becomes a pedestrian thoroughfare, with local group displays, interesting people, music, dancing demos and lots of food.
Across the Maltby Bypass , the Royal Australian Air Force is celebrating 100 years at Point Cook, which is the oldest continuously operating military base in the world .
On display will be a replica of a Bristol Boxkite aeroplane, similar to the one aviation instructor Lieutenant Eric Harrison � ew in March 1914 over the empty grasslands of this once- unpopulated area.
Even if you usually have no interest in anything with an engine and wings, a couple of hours at the airshow with your family and friends will be time well spent .
Su� ce to say it’ll be a big weekend for our community.
So forget the negatives and focus on enjoyment and connecting with the people and places that make us unique. \

mercy hospital welcomes rehab unitHEALTH
Werribee Mercy Hospital will unveil a $28 million rehabilitation unit today , 20 years a� er it � rst opened its doors to the community.
� e hospital, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last Wednesday, treated its � rst patients in February 1994.
Wyndham’s population has since expanded from about 70,000 to almost 190,000 .
Mercy Health executive director Linda
Mellors says the new unit will provide the growing community with extra services , including outpatient care and home-based chronic disease management programs. � e unit also features specialist consulting facilities for rehabilitation patients, a gym and a mobility garden.
“� is is a fantastic opportunity for people to have rehabilitation services close to their homes and a wonderful addition to the services we
provide at the hospital,” Dr Mellors said. Present for last week’s celebrations was
Werribee’s Laura Vranic , who was one of the � rst babies born at Werribee
Mercy. Ms Vranic came into the world on June 21, 1994, the day the hospital birthed its � rst babies.
She said it was “a thrill” to have been one of the � rst babies
born at the hospital. “I still have the newspaper from the day. ” \

A caring haven for struggling mumswerribee
Tina Chapman has helped hundreds of women get their lives back on track and cope with the stress of having a baby.
A clinical nurse specialist, Ms Chapman works in Werribee Mercy Hospital’s mother- baby unit, helping new and expecting mums who are battling mental health problems.
� e eight-bed, eight-cot service helps women and babies aged up to 12 months who live in the western suburbs and western Victoria, providing them with antenatal and postnatal psychiatry, infant mental health assessment and management of psychiatric disorders during pregnancy.
Mothers admitted to the unit are o� en treated for depression, anxiety, bi polar disorder and postpartum psychosis.
Ms Chapman said that while her job was unpredictable, there was “real satisfaction” in seeing patients make improvement .
“� ere is real satisfaction watching mums who are unwell on admission get their lives back on track and resume their family life,” she said.
“It can be really confronting, but there are real rewards watching them achieve positive results.”
Ms Chapman began working in the � eld a� er leaving a � nance job in the mid-1990s.
“I wanted to continue working, but I didn’t want a boring job,” she said. “So I started reading books on psychiatry and I found that I was attracted to women’s health.”
A� er completing a bachelor of nursing degree and post-graduate quali� cations in
psychiatric nursing, Ms Chapman got her � rst shi� at Monash Hospital’s mother- baby unit in 1997. A year later she joined Mercy Health.

parent warning on jab complacency
HEALTH
Parents cannot a� ord to be complacent about their children’s immunisations, a Wyndham health group has warned.
As reported by the Weekly, latest � gures reveal that 91.9 per cent of � ve-year-olds living in Wyndham are fully immunised, while 89.3 per cent of children aged 12 to 15 months have been vaccinated.
South Western Melbourne Medicare Local plans to boost immunisation rates in the city by creating nurse-led immunisation clinics, which will allow more patients to receive vaccinations and provide better education.
� e organisation is also sponsoring 10 nurses on an immunisation course at the Australian College of Nursing.
“We can’t a� ord to be complacent, as a recent measles outbreak has demonstrated,’’ chief operating o� cer Linda Kensington said.
‘‘Vaccine-preventable diseases can have devastating consequences.” \ LL

kitchen serves up healthy meals with side dish of skills WERRIBEE
Pupils at Wyndham Park Primary School are tossing out bad eating habits and welcoming nutritious meals a� er a community kitchen was launched yesterday .
Parents and other community members will help prepare nutritious multicultural vegetarian meals and earn food handling accreditation, according to Anton Leschen , general manager of � e Smith Family, which developed the concept.
“� e school canteen model of yesteryear will be transformed from the usual fare into a community canteen,” Mr Leschen said.
“It sets the standard for healthy eating in schools, which is terri� c, but it’s more than just about food. � is initiative is also about providing a welcoming place for families to connect with their community .”
He said volunteers would get valuable training. “[� is] is another key bene� t of the program, giving participants a pathway towards future employment. � at’s especially important for the vulnerable families we support in the Werribee area.”
� e community kitchen will operate from the canteen one day a week, giving parents and other residents a chance to cook in a social environment. \

cuts dampen wyndham’s welcome for latest arrivalsWERRIBEE
New residents in Wyndham will go without an important social outlet following a federal government decision to withdraw funding promised by the former Labor government.
Wyndham Community and Education Centre has lost $26,587 allocated last August as part of Labor’s Building Multicultural Communities Program.
� e centre planned to use the money to re� t an existing shed to create an arts and cra� s facility and to buy computers to provide
decision would stop the centre from providing migrants with vital services.
“It’s plain and simple – the Abbott government doesn’t believe in
community,’’ she said.‘‘� ese are small grants going
to small organisations already running o� the goodwill of good people and the smell of an oily rag.”
A Social Services Department spokesman said the state of the federal
budget had forced the review. However, Werribee Football Club has been told it
migrants and refugees with internet access. � e centre was recently informed the government had decided to reduce the scope of the multicultural program .
Chief executive Jennie Barrera said the arts and cra� s centre would have helped new arrivals engage with the community. “� e loss of funding means we can’t do extra things that we were planning,” she said.
Lalor Labor MP Joanne Ryan said the
will receive a $50,000 federal grant that was previously in doubt.
As reported by the Weekly, the club was told late last year it was unlikely to receive funding for its Wyndham Sporting Opportunities Project because the government was reviewing grants made by Labor.
However, the government has announced the club will receive the funding .
Tigers chief executive Mark Penaluna said the initiative would bene� t the entire community. \

■ Werribee passengers really don’t have much choice . Either cram onto trains that only run every 20 minutes in peak times, or get stuck in traf� c on the West Gate Freeway.

CALL FOR TUNNEL AS JOB SOLUTION(Weekly, February 19)
■ This state government will never build the metro rail tunnel or any other major infrastructure. It is stalling and stalling it out of existence. When the state government came to power it was “ready to proceed”. Then it decided to change the route and ordered new paperwork.
Now it decides the tunnel can’t go under Swanston Street, which stuffs up all the planning again.
And so another political debate begins.KEITH \ VIA WEB
dangerous move, premier
■ Denis Napthine’s proposal to relax roadworthy checks will see more dangerous vehicles on our roads.Under the changes, some vehicles will not receive a roadworthy check until they have travelled more than 100,000 kilometres. Removing roadworthy requirements, increasing vehicle registration costs and cutting staff positions at Vic Roads just shows Napthine’s contempt for the safety of Victorians.LUKE DONNELLAN \ OPPOSITION ROADS SPOKESMAN

■ Last Thursday was World Social Justice Day – a time to think about the community issues we care about and what action can be taken to improve the lives of others.
A day like this reminds us that everyone can stand up for the rights of those who are disadvantaged.
Change can start via small community groups, charity work and schools. Helping people who are less fortunate than ourselves is one way we can all make a difference.SARAH MILLEN \ VIA WEB

call for rail tunnel as jobs solutionTRANSPORT
The federal and state governments are being urged to provide funding for a metro rail tunnel to improve public transport services and boost employment in the wake of Toyota’s decision to close its Altona factory in 2017.Victorian Council of Social Service (VCOSS) chief executive Emma King said that by investing in services and infrastructure, governments could ensure that communities hit by job losses weathered the current crisis and began to build a strong economic future.“The Victorian government should
Minister Tony Abbott could help western suburbs residents find work and relieve pressure on the public transport system by investing in the metro tunnel.She urged Mr Abbott to reverse his decision to cut $3 billion promised for the project by the former Labor government.“I know how much this kind of investment would mean for local workers worried about their future, as well as helping residents using public transport,” Ms Ryan said. \

delays a continuing curse for sardine commuterswerribee
Werribee passengers continue to travel on packed peak-hour trains, with no increase in the number of peak services on the line since October 2010. Latest passenger load survey results from Public Transport Victoria reveal that five of Melbourne’s train lines are overcrowded during the morning and evening peaks.The surveys, conducted on 12 weekdays in October, found that nine of the Werribee line’s 41 peak-period trains were overcrowded.During the morning peak, 20 per cent of passengers travelled on overcrowded trains, while 23.8 per cent of commuters used packed evening trains. Other overcrowded lines were Dandenong, Craigieburn, Sandringham and Frankston.
University student and Wyndham Transport Advisory Committee member Cameron Nash said overcrowding on the Werribee line caused delays, meaning he regularly missed his connecting train.“It can be a very frustrating ride, with the train stopping for lengthy periods at Laverton,” he said.‘‘Generally, the Werribee train will also stop for lengthy periods before Flinders Street, causing me to miss my connection to uni.”
Mr Nash said overcrowding on the line was getting worse.A spokesman for PTV said the more spacious X’Trapolis trains would be able to run on the Werribee line once infrastructure was upgraded as part of the $100 million Bayside rail improvement project. This work
is not expected to be finished until late 2015. The spokesman said the addition of two new stations, at Tarneit and Wyndham Vale in 2016, as part of the Regional Rail Link, would disperse commuters across two lines, easing overcrowding on Werribee services. \ LL
MY TOWNT hrough a combination of factors, I found myself waitressing at a wedding on Valentine’s Day.It was the first time I’ve carried a tray since I was a teenager and got my first job at the local Chinese restaurant in my home town of Mildura.
Back then I was excited to finally be earning a bit of pocket money and had bought a black shirt to wear, as instructed by the restaurant owner.It was only worn the once.After accidently smashing a couple of plates in the kitchen while trying to avoid the swinging service door, I was unceremoniously given the sack and sent home.Given this provenance, I was understandably anxious about helping out an event manager friend who was woefully short staffed.However, walking into the event, all nerves disappeared as I was immediately given a job and continued to work solidly for the next seven hours.Everyone was polite and respectful to me and the other staff. But chatting to the other girls afterwards, it was clear that wasn’t always the case.
It made me appreciate just how hard people in hospitality work. I’ll be making sure that I’m extra polite when eating out in future.And just for the record, all plates survived intact. \

cap councillors’ paid leave: former mayorWYNDHAM
A former western suburbs mayor has called for a cap to be placed on the amount of paid leave made available to councillors.
Point Cook resident and former Sunshine mayor Bernard Reilly believes councillors should be limited to two to four weeks of paid leave each year.
His comments come a� er it was revealed three Wyndham councillors have taken the equivalent of six months’ paid leave in the past year. � e Local Government Act does not restrict the amount of paid leave that councillors can take.
Mr Reilly said that in other jobs employees were given a limited amount of paid leave, and councillors should face the same restrictions.
“� ere needs to be a change to the act to make them accountable for how much leave they take. We need a change,” he said. “If they need more time o� , they shouldn’t be paid.”
Point Cook Action Group president Paul
Harder said councillors should be required to attend a minimum number of council meetings and they should stand down if they failed to meet the criteria .
Mr Harder called for the publication of a report card on councillor attendance
and achievements ahead of council elections.
A spokesman for Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell deferred questions about a cap on paid leave to the
Transport, Planning and Local Government Department.
A department spokeswoman said councillors could seek permission for a leave of absence and would only lose o� ce if they missed four consecutive council meetings without permission. “Councillors do not receive a salary, and allowances are some recognition of the contributions made by those elected to voluntary, part-time roles in the community.” \

donate a dolphin, asks marine group
Local environmentalists hope to parade a plastic dolphin in a bid to help save marine life from dying because of discarded waste.
Wyndham’s LitterWatch group wants someone to donate an in� atable dolphin for this weekend’s Weerama Festival.
� e dolphin will be stu� ed with plastic and other junk, with holes torn in its guts to show the litter inside and highlight the harm litter can do to marine life.
Organiser John Forrester says the dolphin will be wrapped in plastic on the outside, trapping its � ns to replicate what litter does to wildlife. “We need something large to put on the back of a ute for a � oat at Weerama.”
Mr Forrester said a turtle found locally several years ago died because its stomach was stu� ed with plastic. Platypuses in the Werribee River had been found bound with rings encircling their bodies, including one whose � ippers were pinned to its body. � e fake dolphin will also be taken to local schools as part of the LitterWatch program . \ SH

Next month, Ms Allen will join the New York-based conference remotely from Melbourne a� er being selected by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.

Ms Allen says the conference will also discuss how the UN can meet its millennium development goals – eight targets set in 2000 ranging from halving extreme poverty rates to providing universal primary education by 2015.
“I think the millennium development goals are an issue that will de� ne our generation,” she said. “We want to empower women and make sure they receive the education and training that will help in their everyday lives.”
Ms Allen said the Guiding organisation had given her a chance to mentor younger girls. “� ey view you in a di� erent light to a

John Menegazzo’s family of market gardeners moved from Italy in the 1920s and ’30s. It’s fair to say the Werribee South resident has the western
suburbs in his blood.
What’s your connection to the local community?I was councillor for the Iramoo ward from 2008-12 and mayor of Wyndham in 2011. I’m chairman of the Wyndham Transport Advisory Group. We meet monthly to discuss transport issues with the aim of alleviating problems within Wyndham. I’m deputy chair of the Committee for Wyndham, a social and economic lobby group, and on the board of the Italian Sports Club of Werribee as acting treasurer.
Where’s your favourite retreat spot?Sitting at the mouth of Werribee River, it’s a tranquil spot. I like to go to the beach and enjoy the view of the You Yangs, Mornington Peninsula and the boats. The rose garden at Werribee Park is also great.
Favourite place to get coffee and a bite to eat?Breakfast at Wyndham Cache. You’ve gotta have the eggs there, poached on toast – they’re the best in Victoria. Moka Patisserie and Chatterbox Cafe on Watton Street both do excellent coffees.
What do you remember being in Wyndham that’s no longer there?The old Palais Theatre. I used to go there with friends and family when I was younger but now it’s a retail outlet. I also remember the old Centenary Hall which is now the cultural centre. I used to go to functions and dances there.
What would you change in your neighbourhood?We’d all like to change the congestion caused by too many cars and not enough road networks. The police station in Werribee is a terrible eyesore. The Committee for Wyndham is pressing the state government to commit to a justice precinct in East Werribee.
What wouldn’t you change?Werribee South has retained its country suburb atmosphere. I like the friendly nature of the people, and the multiculturalism. \

refugees
A Karen refugee from Myanmar says living in Australia has restored his dignity as a human being.
Keh Blut, who spoke at this month’s Karen National Day event in Hobsons Bay, arrived in Australia seven years ago a� er being born and raised in a refugee camp.
He works at Werribee’s New Hope Foundation, supporting other migrants and refugees.
Mr Blut said that a� er Karen land was con� scated by Burmese authorities, thousands lacked medicine, shelter or security and � ed to � ailand as refugees.
“I was working as a community worker for 26 years,” he said.
“I was working with internally displaced people who are hiding in the jungle.
“Political turmoil and civil war have been common to me since I was born.
“� e country is still ruled by the military dictatorship and there are many armed resistance ethnic groups still � ghting for their freedom and equality.”
Mr Blut said civil war between opposition groups and the military government had been ongoing since Burma gained independence in 1948.
Its national day commemorates a peaceful demonstration by more than 400,000 Karen people who marched more than 1400 kilometres across Myanmar in 1948 seeking
equal rights and justice.Mr Blut said “Karen New Year Day”
was celebrated around the world but could really only be a celebration for those free from fear.
“It is illegal to celebrate Karen National Day in Burma,” he said.
“Living in Australia, I started to taste the value of freedom and humanity, and regain my dignity as a human being.
‘‘I can live fearless under the Australian laws and regulations. I have the opportunity to learn higher education and work peacefully in this country. � anks Australians.” \

squadrons to soar in centenary show
point cook
Pilots at Royal Australian Air Force bases around the country are practising their routines ahead of this weekend’s Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show at Point Cook.
The Weekly visited East Sale RAAF base last Wednesday as the Roulettes rehearsed their aerobatics.
Six members of the team will take part in an aerial display above Point Cook, while the Roulettes’ seventh plane will form a static display.
Central Flying School’s Wing Commander Colin O’Neill said it was fitting that the school was taking part in the air show as it was one of the oldest military units in Australia. It was formed in March 1913, 12 months before Australia’s first military flight.
The base’s Royal Australian School of Air Navigation will also be involved in the air show, with its King Air planes used to transport RAAF personnel to and from the show. The planes will also take part in a flying display.
Wing Commander Adrian Mavros said the air show would provide people with a good insight into the air force.
“They will have a chance to look at vintage and replica air force planes, as well as training and fighter aircraft.” \ LL

PROFILE \ POINT COOK IS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR AVIATOR MURRAY WALLACE, WRITES MARK SMITH
Murray Wallace learned to � y the military way at Point Cook as a 20-year-old cadet in 1961.
“I’d already learned to � y before I joined, but to the RAAF that was almost a disadvantage.
‘‘� ey taught you to � y their way. Even then I still managed to � y solo a� er only three and a half hours, when the average was eight hours,” he says.
A� er a career in professional aviation spanning 54 years, � ying everything from helicopters to airliners, the septuagenarian still has links to his old training base, regularly � ying his CT-4 Airtrainer as a part of the RAAF museum’s interactive � ying displays.
He will perform at this weekend’s epic Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show in the CT-4 and his 1958 Cessna 180 , an ex-army observation aircra� with which he’s enjoyed a long association.
He � rst � ew the aircra� (military registration A98-340) in 1962 then again in Papua New Guinea in 1965-66. He was able to buy the aircra� � ve years ago.
Flying A98-340 again has brought back many memories for Wallace, one of which involved a very close call.
“One day I was tasked to do a resupply out of Telefomin in PNG. � e strip has an elevation of 5000 feet, and then I had to reach a valley at 9000 feet by � ying over a ridge that was 11,000 feet.
“Approaching the ridge I made the mistake of turning the wrong way. I thought I was going to kill myself. My only thought as I saw the trees was to wonder how long it would take the rescue party to walk up that mountain. I’m sure the wheels brushed the top branches.”
� e Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show at Point Cook is on this Saturday and Sunday, with � ying displays from 10.30am to 3pm.
Entry and parking is by ticket only. Tickets are available from Ticketmaster and include public transport and shuttle buses between Williams Landing and the air� eld. \

An inspirational message on a Post-it note stuck to her fridge helped Melbourne fashion designer Vanessa Rochman take the
obvious next step. A� er seven years as head designer for Metalicus, the time was right to launch her own label and she handed in her resignation to focus on a fashion adventure of her own.
� e result, her stylish new womenswear brand Primness, gives the term casual a chic makeover. Rather than uneventful dressing, Rochman shows there’s plenty of scope for edgy di� erence, taking us on a journey to a place where � tted and loose designs are both welcome.
Primness is all about modern silhouettes worn with an everyday ease. Rochman knows how to create an urban cool using simple line structures that can be layered or worn as separates. “My design ethos is to keep it simple and to create wardrobe essentials,” says the 34-year-old, who studied fashion at RMIT. “Each piece needs to work back in the collection as a co-ordinate, but they also need to work as singular style.”
Primness is inspired by street style, cra� and art. In summer 2014, it’s all about so� , relaxed lines. Rochman prefers to use luxury yarns to appeal to women looking for luxe staples to add to their wardrobe.
� ere’s an abundance of white and black, dreamy navy and sand tones in the mix. � ere’s a hint of peplum waists for tops, cropped shorts and three-quarter-
FASHION \ JANE ROCCA PLUGS INTO
THE LOOKPrimness is a new fashion label from Melbourne that walks on the casual side of fashion. � e label’s founder, Vanessa Rochman, delivers edgy pieces with an emphasis on luxury yarns – it’s all about stripping back your fashion statement to make one.

I had struggled with a sore lower back, week shoulders and sore neck since the birth of my first child for 25 years, attending a chiropractor at least every 2 weeks. I began my yoga journey just over 2 years ago. At first the heat was difficult to deal with, but with the constant encouragement and support from the teachers and the same 26 postures every class, my body is stronger and healthier than ever before. When I have completed a class I feel like I have done a great thing for my mind and my body, I have never returned to the chiropractor, andI LOVE BIKRAM YOGA!!
I do Bikram Yoga at Werribee, do you?

length-sleeve T-shirt tops that swing with a hint of ’60s French Riviera.
“I use cottons, silks, linens, modals and wools,” says Rochman. “Everything is manufactured locally in Melbourne and I love supporting our industry to create an Australian label.”
When she was a young child, Rochman had a conversation with her grandmother about what she’d like to be when she grew up. Rochman fondly recalls sharing her dreams about fashion and clothing.
“My omi (grandmother) looked me in the eye and said, ‘I think you would be really good at that’. That was a defining moment,” she says.
Rochman says she has no desire to be all things to all people. She prefers to hone a product that appeals to women who like simplicity with a sense of difference. Primness is all about T-shirts and tops that can be worn loose or tapered. There are flowing dresses, casual jackets for a shot at seamless structure, and drawstring pants thrown into the mix for a laissez-faire cue.
“It has been such a creative and exciting time and it feels refreshing to have full autonomy,” she says. She works out of a studio space in St Kilda and her line is now sold in boutiques across Australia and New Zealand. An online store has just gone live.
“It was important for me to create something different to what is already available,” Rochman says. “I sit in the lifestyle category but can’t quite say it is the same as another label. It took me a year of designing, creating, trialling and developing to make sure Primness launched with its own signature look.” \

Families can move into the age of space with this near-new brick-veneer house in Point Cook’s coveted Sanctuary Lakes estate.
Perfect for professional couples, young families and � rst-home buyers, the single-storey dwelling of about 32 squares is on a 512-square-metre block.
Built by Henley Homes only 18 months ago and covered for several more years by the structural warranty, the pristine house has been designed for the best of work, rest and play.
Set well back from the street and behind low-maintenance gardens, the front door opens to a wide hall that showcases its timber � oors.
Further enhanced by 2.55-metre ceilings with energy-ef� cient downlights, this light-� lled residence has the main bedroom suite immediately to the right of the entry.
Illuminated by its tryptych of tall windows, the suite has a walk-in wardrobe, en suite with large Premium shower, toilet and Caesarstone-topped vanity.
A door on the opposite side of the hall accesses the double garage with remote
control, while the study retains the privacy necessary for working from home.
It is next to the lounge room, meals area and feature-packed kitchen. The latter will thrill those who love to cook, with its wide Caesarstone-topped island bench that doubles as a breakfast bar, double sink with pull-out spray tap, walk-in pantry, stainless-steel appliances (900mm Technika oven with six-burner gas cooktop and Bellisima dishwasher) and glass splashback.
There’s a study or second living area that could be used as a theatre room and a sliding
door that opens to the covered deck. Another passage leads to three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and the family bathroom with deep bath, large shower, vanity with raised basin and separate toilet.
It’s close to Saltwater Reserve, schools, Sanctuary Lakes shopping centre and just over one kilometre from cafes and restaurants. A bonus is the recreational facilities – residents can pay an annual fee of $2200, which includes use of the world-class golf course, swimming pool, gym and monitored security. \

investment \ Industry experts give MARK BUNKER the low-down
plan well, stick to basics for success
Property investing can be tricky for beginners. Overnight success is unlikely and sticking to the fundamentals can be the difference between selling within a year or holding to a plan and
building equity. Here are some basic things to consider when buying an investment property:
property cycles
The market’s peaks and troughs are influenced by things such as the global economy, inflation, consumer confidence, unemployment, housing stock, population growth and overseas investors. While a property market can crash, it typically follows a pattern defined by a few years of steady rises in property values followed by shorter-lived flat periods and decreases in house values as the market corrects itself. More people are happier to invest when the market is prospering – often midway into a cycle – than buy at the bottom of a new one when buyer confidence is generally lower but the rewards are potentially greater.
Knowing what to Buy
As the nation’s population grows and lifestyles change, what makes a good property investment also changes. A few decades ago, suburbs close to the city weren’t in much demand due to Australians’ desire for big backyards. Now there’s increasing demand for low-maintenance apartments and units closer to the city.
James Ferris, of PRD Nationwide in Werribee, says Manor Lakes estate and Tarneit have new shopping centres and railway stations, so rental demand has sharply increased.
“Williams Landing has quick access to Point Cook and the city, and this is an area with lots of capital growth potential – it’s a new suburb so people can still get in on the ground floor,” Ferris says.
“The south side of Werribee is always in demand because it’s a location close to everything. Investors show interest in three-bedroom/two-bathroom homes because they’re popular as leases to families.
“Hoppers Crossing, close to Werribee Plaza, is another investment hotspot.”
Investors should consider things such as body corporate fees, renovation potential, land size, proximity to services and lifestyle perks. Steer clear of generic developments such as high-rise apartments and the over-supply of new homes in the outer suburbs.
Having a plan
Plan for how long you intend to own a property and know the right time to sell. Things such as finance tax and negative gearing must be considered, while other things to weigh up include insurance, fixed versus variable interest rates, cash flow and managing mortgage repayments. Some properties marketed as investment stock may have a high yield or rental return but offer very little potential for capital growth. Plan for the worst, expect the best. \

MotoriNg \ rod easdown gets behind the wheel
About once a year I get a hankering for the great outback vastness, and there’s no better way to satisfy it than to drive
to Perth. What other national highway gives you 2350 kilometres between traffic lights? And 147 kilometres without a bend? And doubles as a runway here and there?
There’s a world-famous bird observatory out here, Skylab crashed here, old telegraph stations have been engulfed by sand. There are dingoes, brumbies, emus, wedge-tailed eagles and kangaroos. You can see whales from jagged coastal cliffs, go for days without mobile coverage, meet fruit-fly inspectors and pay more than two bucks for a litre of fuel. The Hume Freeway this ain’t.
So when Mazda unveiled its new 3, I asked if I could drive one to Perth. It didn’t miss a beat, but taut suspension meant it did miss a kangaroo.
This is a nice thing. It handles surprisingly well, rides easily and remains comfortable even after eight to 10 hours. It also gets terrific economy out in the bush. The only thing that worries me is the price. It starts at $23,792, not bad value given the equipment, but it’s a lot more than the $19,990 (negotiable) for run-out models, and the $21,000-odd the old model usually started at.
However Mazda thinks it’s sharp enough to make this the best-selling car in the country, which it was in 2011 and 2012,
coming in a close second last year. You have the choice of two beautifully
flexible petrol motors, this one and a 138-kilowatt 2.5-litre, and all models are available with six-speed manual or six-speed auto, the auto adding around $2000. Go for the top model with auto and you’ll finish north of $40k.
But the entry-level Neo will constitute the great bulk of sales and it’s a good car for the money; certainly the best-looking one in its class, especially in sedan rather
than hatch. And it’s nicely equipped with cruise, Bluetooth, USB and tricky fuel-saving technology.
However, you only get a space-saver spare (you fret about such things when the nearest guy who plugs tyres is 600 kilometres distant) and the high window line makes the rear seat a bit claustrophobic, especially for kids. Rear visibility isn’t great. But if it were just you and me tootling around the city I’d have one of these in a flash. \
MAzDA 3 MAxx
What is it? A likely best-seller.
What’s in it? A 114-kilowatt four-cylinder with a six-speed auto.
is it thirsty? I used 10 litres per 100km in the city, 6.3 in the country. The official combined figure is 5.7.
DRivE AwAY $28,427

TEcH TALK \ Rod Easdown wondERs If tEchnology Is gEttIng chEEsy
(su
ppli
ed
)
For some years it has been my contention that electronics are now so fast, so sophisticated and so reliable that their only limitation is our ability to
think up new uses for them. Now I’m coming around to the idea that we’re thinking entirely too much.
Take the Q50, a new car from Infiniti (just as Lexus makes expensive Toyotas, Infiniti is Nissan’s premium brand). It has facial recognition, so when you climb in and settle behind the wheel the first thing you’re greeted with is, well, a greeting. Just for you.
“Hello (insert your name here)” it displays on one of its two LCD screens.
Brrrr. It’s a bit like Hal the rogue computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey saying “Hello, Dave” so smoothly immediately before consigning good old Dave to open space.
Having got the niceties out of the way, the Q50 will then ensure the seat and mirrors are in your preferred positions, the climate control is set to where you like it, the satellite navigation is prepped to show you the way home, and lots more.
It will dial in your preferred steering weight, decide whether you want the car in sport mode or comfort and how far away you’d like to be from the car in front when you activate the cruise control. There are lots more things available … if you can be bothered to enter all the parameters. If you can be, it will know if you prefer an ABC or QWERTY keyboard.
It offers 96 selectable settings across 10 functions, and the possible permutations for your personal settings run into the billions. You are far more likely to find a suitable match here than in a lifetime’s trawling of computer dating services.
Then it all gets a bit cheesy. The Infiniti displays your favourite photographs of family and friends. Heaven help us. I have lots of favourite photographs but none of them of family and friends, so do I qualify? I guess I’m just not touchy-feely enough for an Infiniti.
The scary bit is the Q50 will do all this for four different people. That means that if your 18-year-old
kid has borrowed the car, you won’t be assailed by thrash metal at 110
decibels next time you crank up the radio. Infiniti calls this
“My Car Knows Me” but really, I wonder.
There are days when I like to be addressed by my first name and days when I feel I deserve to be called sir.
There are some days when a simple “hey” suffices.
I know a guy who once did PR for BMW,
and he would be mortified by a personal greeting from
a car. He would immediately demand to know when and
where he and that car had been formally introduced.
Still, I guess the Infiniti approach is better than a few Mitsubishis I’ve been in lately, all of which displayed an overly joyful “See you!” at journey’s end.
Oh for an off-switch. A 45-calibre off-switch. \ [email protected]
oh for an off-switch INfINITI Q50

BRIEFSscanlon aims for high-five Hockey
Andrew Scanlon will break new ground as the � rst Victorian to represent Australia at an o� cial international Hockey 5s tournament.
� e 5s format is hockey’s answer to Twenty20 cricket, rugby sevens or netball’s Fast5.
Scanlon, a bright young western suburbs prospect, was chosen to represent Australia in 5s at the Youth Olympic qualifying tournament in Vanuatu next month a� er impressing at a ‘futures’ camp in February.
While he is a traditionalist, preferring the 11-a-side game, Scanlon is excited by the 5s format and intrigued how it will go on the international stage.
“It’ll be hard and you’ll move a lot more, but it’s going to be fun,” he said.
“You’ve only got three people to pass to, so you’ve got to really pay attention and know your team well.”
Scanlon has only ever taken one sport seriously and wants to make a career in hockey. � e 17-year-old from Werribee is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to one day play the Australian Kookaburras.
“I’ve been playing it all my life, so hopefully I can keep going with it,” Scanlon said. “It’s all I’ve really known since I was about three.
“I’ve been given the opportunity to train with the Victorian Institute of Sport .
Hopefully, long term, one day I will play in the senior Australian team, but right now I’m focused on Vanuatu and the under-18 nationals [in April].”
Scanlon needs to look no further than his home club Altona for inspiration.
Luke Doerner came out of the Seagulls nest and went on to represent Australia at multiple Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, Champions Trophy and World Cup events.

“i’ve been playing

“It helps that he was from there and could make it that far,” Scanlon said.
Among state and national duties, Scanlon is focused on becoming a regular senior player for Altona in the Premier League.
“I’m trying hard to get my � tness up so I’m up to scratch with that,” he said. “� en it’s proving I can use the ball and play well enough to stay in the top side.” \

tough ask for cats in bid for final win
VTCA
Hoppers Crossing faces an almighty task to � nish o� the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division season on a high note.
� e Cats were set an imposing 274 for victory by visiting Bentleigh at Hogans Road Reserve on Saturday – not the kind of target that bodes well for a side with the least amount of runs in the competition this season.
� e Cats found it hard to contain Bentleigh openers Robert Ciccarella (80) and captain Greg Todd (73).
Darrel Brown (2-74), Dinesh Daminda (2-49) and Sanka Abeyruwan (2-38) snared two wickets apiece for the Cats.
Irrespective of the result, the Cats will remain in the senior division next year, despite a rollercoaster season. \
centrals primed for highest run chaseVTCA
� e heat is well and truly on Werribee Centrals.
� e Centurions began a tense Victorian Turf Cricket Association north A1 � nal round in a comfy position above the relegation zone with their destiny seemingly in their own hands.
� at all changed on Saturday when they were sucked back into the relegation scrap by some surprising close-of-play scores around the grounds.
� e Centurions were already behind the eight ball on their own ground, having been set a weighty target of 217 for victory by top-four side Sunshine Druids at Galvin Park.
� is would be the Centurions’ biggest successful run chase of the summer if they were to nail it.
� e silver lining is that their most recent innings total was 8-214 against bottom side St Andrew’s in the game prior. But the Saints are a di� erent proposition to the premiership-
contending Druids. “We go into the run chase with a little bit of con� dence, especially a� er last week’s win,” Centurions secretary Chris Du� n said.
“We know we’ve got the side to make over 200 … hopefully, the guys can build partnerships and take it step by step.
“If we bat our 80 overs, we’ll get those runs.”
Trouble for the Centurions may also come from further a� eld.
With 63.55 points, they are precariously placed, relying on other sides to restrict the amount of points earned by St Francis de Sales (63.39), St Albans (57.43) and Youlden Parkville (56.25) – the three sides directly beneath them on the ladder.
Outright results are possible in those games and that could further muddy the waters for the Centurions.
“It will be impossible from our position to win outright, so it’s all about getting the 200 ,” Du� n said.
“� e rest is up to the cricketing gods. You just hope a few sides can hold � rm and we don’t get an unpredictable result.”
� e Centurions held � rm for much of the opening day against Druids, keeping the visitors to just 38 o� the opening 20 overs and
generally keeping things tight until the tea break.
But the pitch at Shaws Road is known for rewarding a side that has wickets in hand.
And as any good side will, the Druids cashed in late in the day.
“It was a usual Centrals wicket,” Du� n said.
“� ere’s always a little bit in it for the bowlers to start with. Batting in that � rst hour can be quite di� cult.
“But if you’ve got wickets in hand in the second half of the day, you are going to be able to score quite quickly towards the end.”
� e Centurions begin their run chase at 1pm on Saturday and will know their fate some � ve hours later. \ LJ

Hicks makes a point for warriorsCricket
Point Cook was looking shaky a third of the way through the opening day of its crucial stoush with Seabrook in Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s west B1.
� e Warriors limped to 6-75 with the only constant being plucky opener Daryl Groves (19), who watched in dismay as wicket a� er wicket fell at the other end.
Picking up their game was a must for the Warriors with their top two spot at stake.
� ey lost their previous match and losing the last game of the home-and-away rounds would not be the ideal � nals preparation.
“� ere’s a lot to play for this game,” Warriors player-coach Travis Bean said.
“Seabrook have to win to get in the � nals; we have to win to get a home semi-� nal.”
� e Warriors slowly turned the corner, � rst with Bean’s (32) 41-run partnership with Aaron Whear (14). � en it was Bean and David Hicks (48no) with an identical stand.
Hicks turned the Warriors’ so-so score into one that will be hard for the Brookers to chase.
He summed up the situation perfectly, calmly getting his eye in and then ramping up the run rate as the overs counted down.
A fully � t Hicks could be the X factor that li� s the Warriors to a premiership.
“He was in the team of the year last year and is just coming back o� an injury,” Bean said.
“He knew that a big partnership was important, reined in some of his natural aggression and was patient early on.
“Once he got the feel of the wicket, he started to accelerate and hit a few boundaries.
“It was a really well-timed innings.”Bean admitted his side was staring down
the barrel in the early exchanges.He said a period of consolidation between
the 20th and 60th overs was vital.“We lost three or four early wickets and
there was a run-out early on,” Bean said.“We were under the pump a little bit. It
was good that we were able to get through that middle period and bat for that middle 40 overs .
“It laid the foundation for the last 20 overs.”Seabrook has an enormous task ahead,
despite good bowling performances from Stephen Gregory (3-33) and Dilip Sarkhell (2-40).
It is do or die for the fourth-placed Saints, who have Wyndhamvale and Newport-Digman breathing down their neck, the two sides meeting each other in this � nal round.
Wyndhamvale would be the favourite to

displace them in the four a� er having already secured � rst innings points with ease.
Newport-Digman was rolled for just 73 with Jake Styles running riot with 6-38, while the Vales declared on 5-128 with a view to forcing an outright.
It promises to be a tense � nal day for all clubs involved in the race to the four. \

rocci rocks into national squad
Basketball
Maddison Rocci has been included in an extended 16-player Australian squad for the 2014 FIBA under-17 world championships in Slovakia, starting in June.
Rocci’s status as one of the rising stars of the Werribee Devils women’s program underpins her status as one of the best players in her age group in the country.
� e reason Rocci, 15, is head and shoulders above most juniors her age in victoria is commitment.
“She’s a basketball nut,” Devils coach Lloyd Klaman said. “She would probably play and train more than any kid I know.
“She really wants it. She’s also a great kid and doesn’t have a big head or anything like that; she’s just down to earth.”
Klaman describes Rocci as a “special talent”.
A lightweight in basketball terms, Rocci makes up for it with elite skills at the point guard position, a knack of reading a play before it has unfolded, and speed to burn.
“She’s just really explosive – her � rst two steps are amazing,” Klaman said.
“She reads the game well and, defensively, she’s a real pain for her opponents.
“She’s just always involved and knows where the action is going to be … coupled with how quick she is, it makes it a real hard combo.
“� e only thing that goes against her is she’s not big in stature. She’s pretty small, but she makes up for it with other things.”
Rocci’s talents will be sorely missed by the Devils’ top women’s side when she’s away on national duty.
She was expected to be fast-tracked into a starter role this season. \ LJ
giants full of finals vimBaseball
Werribee Giants coach Phil Balzer has declared “we can beat anyone” in the Baseball Victoria summer league division 2 � nals.
� e Giants have the form to back up his comments, having beaten � nalists Springvale and Moorabbin in the regular season and only losing to Williamstown by a single run in each of their two competitive games.
So could the Giants be the dark horse from the bottom half of the four?
“We’ve absolutely got the talent to do it and we’ve got the depth to do it,” Balzer said. “Obviously, the key is to win that � rst game in the � nals. I’m very excited for it and the players are buzzing for it, too.”
� e Giants will play a best-of-three semi-� nals series against Springvale, starting at the Melbourne Ball Park tonight.
� e series will move to Werribee on Saturday and then to Springvale on Sunday if a third game is required.
Usually the top-ranked club gets the chance to play game two on home turf, but Springvale’s home ground, KH Wearne Reserve, is unavailable on that day – a huge advantage for the Giants if they can snatch game one.
� e Giants hammered Springvale 10-2 on Saturday at Presidents Park in the last round.
But Balzer is cautious about what that result means.
� e visitors were severely short-handed and had two teenagers on the mound.
One of those teens was Matthew Stenhouse, the younger brother of Brandon, who has recently signed a minor league contract with the New York Yankees.
But the Giants’ roster was also far from complete.
With � nals secured, pitchers Wes De Jong and Wade Balzer rested, giving Jonathan Lowe, Jason Kreihn, Daine Gregory and import Chad Northcott a chance to get some valuable innings under their belts in case they are called on in the next fortnight.
� e Giants also got plenty of quality at-bats, with Oliver Box and Matthew Howe catching � re on the eve of the � nals.
“You can’t take too much out of the game other than we got some good at-bats and got some work into our pitchers,” Balzer said.
“It was all about trying to get guys some innings in, just in case they’re required in the � nals.
“Today was almost like a live practice session for both sides.” \

devils bring out big guns for big v’s FIRST divisionBasketball
Werribee Devils have brought together the old guard to give them a harder edge as they move up into the Big V basketball women’s division 1 competition.
� e Devils have assembled a starting � ve with plenty of experience at division 1 level, including former championship-winning player-coach Sharon Grieve.
Grieve will join established stars Emma Coyne, Lisa Troyahn and Elisha Burnette, and boom recruit Jodi Impey, on the court this season.
“We’ve had to pick up a couple of players to make us more competitive because it’s a
bigger and stronger league,” Devils coach Lloyd Klaman told the Weekly. “I like the idea of all of them playing together.”
Grieve returns to her old stomping ground where she climbed the top of the division 1 mountain with a premiership. She le� the Devils to join Altona Gators and went on to win another title with them.
She’s a big-game player and a winner when it counts.
“She’s just so smart as a player,” Klaman says. “She’s going to be a fantastic addition to us.”
� e most important signing of the o� -season was Impey.
� e forward/centre made it her mission last season to be a thorn in the Devils’ side as a member of the Keilor � under.
Impey, adept in the paint and used as a stretch four for her ability to shoot
from long range, decided to retire a� er leading the � under to last year’s title.
Klaman talked her out of her retirement plans.“She was retired for about two
weeks,” Klaman says with a laugh.“She’s a scorer, a great passer and she’s
smart on the court. She can go inside and outside. She’s also a leader and does so many other things that make her teammates better.”
� e team’s young players will also be front and centre in Klaman’s thinking. But while Tegan Doyle, Alex Moss, Olivia Klaman, Georgia Tauschke and newcomer Brittany Klaman will all command playing time, there will be less pressure to get minutes on the court thanks to the establishment of a youth league team.
Maddison Rocci, who has a busy year with under-age national commitments, could be a regular starter once her representative duties are over.
� e Devils will face Impey’s former team this weekend in their last hitout before the annual Frankston preseason tournament.

werribee shows it still has a sting in its tailBowls
Werribee has turned its lacklustre form on its head to move into the Bowls Victoria division 1 � nals with a semblance of con� dence.
� e Bees struggled in the second half of the season but hit a bull’s eye in the last home-and-away round with a convincing 73-60 win over title contenders Bundoora RSL at Chirnside Park on Saturday.
� e two sides will now meet in a cut-throat section semi-� nal and the Bees go into the game with a psychological edge a� er winning both games between the clubs during the regular season.
“It was good to turn it around,” Bees skip Snowy Baker told the Weekly. “It gives us a bit of con� dence going into the � nals.
“We’ll see if we can take our winning form into their place next week.
“We’ve actually beaten them there before so we should be fairly con� dent, without getting too far ahead of ourselves.”
� e Bees blew their chance of a home � nal with erratic form a� er the mid-season break.
� ey needed a li� on the eve of the � nals and got it in a three-rinks-to-one victory.
Mick O’Neil’s rink was � ying out of the gates to give the Bees an early break en route to a nine-shot win.
It was the Bees’ only runaway rink with Barker winning by � ve and Peter Ware by a single shot. Rob Panton’s was the only losing rink, down two.
Barker is expecting a similar tough clash when the � nals begin on Saturday.
“� e margin probably looked bigger than it was during the game,” he said.
“� ey played fairly well and will be hard to beat at their place.”
If the Bees win on Saturday they will front up less than 24 hours later against the winner of the other semi-� nal, between Deer Park and Kew Heights.
Meanwhile, Hoppers Crossing will host a home � nal against Altona

tiger gives oaks the chopvsdca
Heath Pritchard’s insatiable appetite for success was on show for all to see on day one of Werribee’s blockbuster Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association bout with Oakleigh at Warrawee Park on Saturday.
Pritchard ripped through the Oaks’ batting line-up with 7-64 o� 24.5 overs, a� ected a key run-out and led the way with his upbeat tempo on the � eld.
“He just wants the club to have success and be a part of it,” Tigers captain Shaun Dean said. “He’s quite chirpy and up and about, and carries himself well.
“He’s geeing everyone up. You can’t ask for much more.”
Pritchard was able to sti� e the Oaks through his nagging line-and-length bowling.
� e Oaks ended the day on 273, but it would have been so much more had Pritchard not picked up his seven.
His most important wicket of the day didn’t come through his bowling but a lucky de� ection to run out opener Brendan McGuinness for 68.
Pritchard saw the ball smashed back at him and guided it on to the stumps at the non-striker’s end to catch McGuinness out of his crease.
“We were really happy to get him out before he really got going because we could’ve been chasing a little bit more if he was in at the end,” Dean said.
Pritchard’s in� uence with the ball was measured in more than wickets.
In the hour period between the tea break and � nal drinks, Pritchard combined with Nathan Burton (1-88 o� 26 overs) to stem the run � ow.
Part-time medium-pacer Matt Dean chimed in with an economical 0-12 o� � ve in a crucial period of the day.
“It was great energy from everyone in that period ,” Dean said. “It was a 20-over spell where the game could’ve gotten away from us
or we could drag it back in. We really put the clamps on .”
Pritchard is the leading wicket-taker in the competition with 39 at 9.44. � e all-rounder has taken � ve � ve-wicket hauls.
“He keeps doing the job,” Dean said. “He gets a lot of overs and that’s because he puts the ball in the right spot.”
� e Tigers have welcomed a challenging run chase two weeks out from the � nals.

� e target of 274 – albeit on a ground with a lightning-fast out� eld – will put an unblemished 11-game winning record in jeopardy.
“It’s a pretty good score and they’ve got a good honest attack, so it will be an interesting run chase,” Dean said.
“It will be a good test and everyone is looking forward to it.” \

lightning’sattack testNetball
VU-Western Lightning has re-captured the hard-nosed defence of recent years but the integration of a new-look attack is still a work in progress.
� e Lightning had the tightest defence in the past two Victorian Netball League championship division seasons, with Fiona � emann and Brooke � ompson forming an unbreakable duo in the defensive circle.
But for the Lightning to go one step better than last season’s preliminary � nal � nish, it needs to fast-track the cohesiveness of the new-look mid-courters and goalers.
Time is of the essence for Lightning coach Matt Hills, who can’t a� ord to play catch-up in what promises to be a close competition.
“� ere are a lot of teams in a similar position to us in that they are building,” he said. “Unfortunately you don’t have a lot of time to do it.”
At least Hills has the experience of front-end restructure as in each of the past two years, the Lightning has had to � nd new avenues to goal.
� e losses of Megan Fitzpatrick (injury) and Erin McCarthy (overseas) this season have been o� set by the arrival of highly-rated Kate � ompson and promotion of youngster Sophie Gunn.
Gunn missed the opening two matches, which has meant more attacking time for Sophie Barr, while � ompson has earned a pass mark without setting the games alight in the opening two weeks.
Hills says it will take time for the three goalers to mesh and they need to be � ring on all cylinders if the Lightning is to make some noise at the pointy end of the season.
“Each of the last three years we’ve had di� erent front end combinations, so we’ve have to reinvent it again,” Hills said.
� e mid-court of Amelia Hills, Elle Bennetts and new recruit Danni Stewart has shown positive signs early but are nowhere near where Hills envisages they will be with a few more games under the belt.
“Danni comes out of a successful [City West] Falcons program that plays a di� erent style of ball movement to what we do,” Hills said.
“� ere’s a bit of working in with the way she plays and her working in with us.”
Lightning will take netball to the suburbs on Saturday night when it hosts North East Blaze at Sunbury Stadium. \ LJ

Language of danceDance Republic, a highly anticipated festival event, celebrates diverse cultures through the universal language of dance.
“Choreographer and renowned B-Girl, Demi Sonoro, who was featured on So You Think You Can Dance Australia, is leading the dancers and dance enthusiasts through a series of easy and fun moves,” said Wyndham mayor Heather Marcus whose council provided the group with a community grant.
Dance Republic starts at 1.40pm Sunday on the YPA main stage. It’s produced by Big West and also supported by Vic Health, RE Ross Trustand Brimbank council.

Tigers roarinto WeeramaFestival goers are in for a treat when the Melbourne Tigers touch down at 11am for the street parade.
The team will hang out later by the bus where they’ll set-up a hoop and groove to the tunes that DJ Rattler will dish out. Festival-goers are invited to take part in shoot-outs and a make-and-miss competition, and collect a fair share of merchandise including caps, stickers, gift-packs and tickets to the fi nal Tigers game of the season.
It’s also a grand opportunity for people to enter the Melbourne Tigers’ competition to win a dream NBA experience valued at $20,000. The return airfare trip to the US includes fi ve nights’ accommodation for four lucky fans who’ll meet Patty Mills of San Antonio Spurs and watch the stand-off against the LA Lakers.

Enjoy direct access to the Princes Freeway, and close proximity to Werribee train station and local bus routes. As well as the Werribee Town Centre there’s the popular Watton Street, with its range of specialty shops, popular cafés and restaurants, just up the road.
