Smile Squad on the road Pupils at Albion North primary school were among the first beneficiaries of free dental check-ups, with Smile Squad vans back on the road after the COVID-19 pandemic. The state government recently announced an expansion of the free Smile Squad dental program, with 161 more primary and secondary schools invited to take part in term two. Smile Squad vans visit schools providing free check-ups and treatment, including teeth cleaning, fluoride application, fissure sealants, fillings, root canals and other non-cosmetic treatments. The program is delivered by cohealth. Oral health lead Julia McLellan said it was exciting to be taking the Smile Squad vans back to school. “Access to high quality healthcare and good oral health … can have a positive impact on their quality of life and social interactions,” she said. “But due to financial barriers and low health literacy, children from disadvantaged backgrounds often don’t get the dental care they need.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Fix Sunshine ‘mess’ plea By Tara Murray Sunshine is a “mess” and a “victim of raised expectations, poor planning, and undelivered promises”, according to a transport action group. In response to the release of concept plans for the Melbourne Airport Rail Link, the Victorian Transport Action group has released its own report, Bringing Sunshine out of the Shadows. Action group secretary Mike Reece said the report intended to put a spotlight on transport and land use planning concerns surrounding the development of Sunshine/Albion and see options to achieve “optimal outcomes”. “Bearing in mind that decisions made today willimpact for years to come,” he said.

The action group shares the concerns of Brimbank council and residents that the rail link plans lack information around the redevelopment of Sunshine and Albion. The group, which consists of transport professionals, said drastic action was needed to upgrade both Sunshine and Albion. “Recent transport planning has hyped a transformation of Sunshine as a super hub for seven separate rail services,” the group’s report states. “Sunshine has been designated a National Employment and Innovation Cluster (NEIC) – one of just seven in Plan Melbourne 2051. [But] A draft framework plan produced by the Victorian Planning Authority has not triggered any major commitments or funding

to implement its findings. “In 2018 Sunshine was also designated by the state as a Priority Precinct. The precinct has since been transferred to the Department of Transport, and the focus narrowed to Sunshine station as a ‘Transport Super Hub’ rather than integrated land use and transport planning for the whole precinct. “Now it seems recent decisions have even shelved any significant upgrade of Sunshine or Albion stations, and [there are] no plan to integrate it with the business districts and the heritage residential communities on each side.” The report states there are planning problems in both Sunshine and Albion and each area’s role needed to be defined with

other growth areas in the west. The group wants a dedicated development board in the area, to drive integrated planning and implementation of land use and transport planning opportunities. It states in the short term there should be a focus on increasing train frequency and reviewing bus routes in Brimbank. Medium term upgrades include scraping the planned two-kilometre rail flyer over at Albion, committing to building a new Albion station, setting a clear timeframe for electrification of the Melton and Wyndham Vale lines, extra platforms at Sunshine station, a new station at Sunshine North and considering the development of network of trams in the west.

Vehicle impounds remain high By Tara Murray Brimbank has ranked second in the state for car impounds over the past 10 years. Victoria Police figures released last month show that 4322 drivers had their cars impounded in Brimbank between 2011-2020. That accounted for six per cent of all vehicle impoundments in that time. Only neighbouring Hume had more impoundments over that period, with 4865. Brimbank had the highest number of impounded vehicles between 2011-2015, with Hume having the most in every other year. Last year, there were 626 cars impounded in

‘‘

committed to removing dangerous and hoon drivers from the state’s roads

’’

- Police spokesperson Brimbank, down from 637 the previous year. Brimbank police said earlier this year that they were attending hoon meets on a regular basis. A Victoria Police spokesperson said they were always concerned when people take part in high risk behaviour.

“Anyone posting a video on YouTube where laws are being broken should be aware that police are watching and will take action,” the spokesperson said. “Victoria Police regularly acts on information received regarding hoon offences. Police remain committed to removing dangerous and hoon drivers from the state’s roads, with thousands of vehicles impounded for hoon and dangerous driving offences each year. “Police continually run operations targeting known hoon areas and hoon offenders, using both overt and covert tactics. This type of dangerous driving is unacceptable. “Hoon laws allow police to take away the

most important thing to a dangerous hoon driver – their vehicle.” The high figures come despite Brimbank council introducing laws in 2018 which gave police powers to issue fines to anyone caught conducting or spectating at illegal, dangerous or harmful activity involving vehicles on council property or in a public place. Since the laws were introduced, 327 infringements have been issued – there were none issued in the first three months of this year and just three in December, 2020. Anyone with information regarding dangerous driver behaviour is urged to contact CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.

Students making a difference An exhibition highlighting the issues surrounding youth homelessness has put some talented young Brimbank artists centre stage. Concern Australia has teamed up with Igniting Change and Catalyst to host the exhibition which included photography and T-shirt design competitions for school students. There is also an immersive augmented reality (AR) experience that gives people an insight into what homelessness is like.

Catholic Regional College St Albans student Laticia won the T-shirt design competition for her ‘Cup of Cats’ design, which will be printed onto clothing. Fellow CRC student Anghel finished third. The students could either present an open design that could be used on a T-shirt to raise money for Concern Australia’s Steps program, or a design on the theme of youth homelessness. The Steps program has been supporting young

people who are experiencing homelessness in Melbourne for more than 35 years. Steps Outreach Service manager Anne Mitchell said the exhibition aims to give young people experiencing homelessness a voice while raising community awareness about the issue. The exhibition is at the Atrium in Federation Square from May 8 to 14.

There has been significant interest in the sale of the Sunshine North Village neighbourhood shopping centre development site. Much of the residential part of the village is complete and the 2.18 hectare shopping centre site at 265 Duke Street is for sale. A permit for the site allows for a 5953 square metre neighbourhood shopping centre, incorporating medical and childcare centres, 1516 square metres of office space, 174 residential apartments and 477 at-grade and basement car spaces. Joe Kairouz, residential development sites senior executive for Colliers and JLL, who is handing the sale, said the development site was part of a former quarry. “It’s the commercial part of the development [for sale]. The residential component has been ticking along a lot. New townhouses are being built. “There’s a lot of positive activity in the area.” Mr Kairouz said the company wasn’t surprised by the interest in the site. “It’s a key suburban infill site of 2.18 hectares, there’s always plenty of increase in sites like these.” An online advertisement for the sale of the site states that growth in the area is expected to increase by 22 per cent by 2026. Expressions of interest close on May 12. Tara Murray

New VU chancellor a champion for the west Williamstown resident and one of Victoria’s-longest serving premiers, Steve Bracks has been installed as Victoria University’s seventh chancellor. Mr Bracks has a long history with the university, which in 2017 awarded him an honorary degree of Doctor of the University, honoris causa, in recognition of his service to Victoria, particularly VU’s heartland Melbourne’s west. “Ever since I moved to Williamstown in 1990, I’ve had a relationship and involvement with Victoria University and its predecessor, Mr Bracks told Star Weekly. “It’s hard to live in the west and not have some sort of engagement with Victoria University. “My three loves in life are the west of Melbourne, my commitment and passion for education and my involvement in Timor-Leste,

of which Victoria University plays a key and significant role that sort of led me to this role as chancellor.” Mr Bracks has supported the Timor-Leste government on governance issues on a pro bono basis since August 2007, a month after he retired from politics. He also chaired the VU-led West of Melbourne Economic Development Alliance (WoMEDA), which aims to create high-skills job clusters in the region, especially in Footscray, Sunshine and Werribee. “One of the reasons I wanted to take it up is to ensure that the vibrancy of Melbourne’s west is reflected in everything that Victoria University does and undertakes,” Mr Bracks said of his new role chairing the university council. “It is the key catchment area for the university going forward and one of the best catchment

areas in the country – a growing population, a growing economy in Melbourne’s west, and VU wants to be part of that going forward.” Mr Bracks was Victoria’s premier from 1999 to 2007 and the member for Williamstown from 1994 to 2007. VU’s Vice-Chancellor Adam Shoemaker said Dr Bracks was the ideal person to inspire and lead the university. “He brings new governance and leadership and a renewed commitment for VU to become the premier dual sector university in the world,” he said. “He is a cultural leader with authenticity and empathy. “His stewardship will help Victoria University build on its commitment to equity and excellence.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Vaccine hub ramps up By Tara Murray A steady flow of people were making their way through Sunshine Hospital’s high-volume COVID-19 vaccination centre last week. The centre, which opened on April 23 as a vaccination hub for health workers, last week recorded its highest patient numbers since it started accepting the general public. On Tuesday, more than 600 people passed through the centre. People who are over 50 are now eligible for the AstraZeneca vaccine. Shayne Webster was among those getting his vaccine last week. The 54-year-old said it was an easy process. “My wife is from Canada and we’re missing seeing her family,” he said. “I wanted to get it done as soon as possible, so we can travel if it is required. “It’s something you have to do, I guess, with the whole situation. It shows how lucky we are to be able to get the vaccine.” As well as helping vaccinate the general public, the hub is still vaccinating health care workers and people who fall into the first priority groups. The hub also has the Pfizer vaccine available for people aged under 50 who are eligible to be vaccinated. Associate nurse manager Rowena Heldt said the hub had been almost at full capacity since the expansion of the vaccine roll-out. “It’s actually fantastic seeing the public coming through,” she said. “It’s been pretty busy when we’ve been able to open up to the public. “We were up to 800 a day when we first started, it went down, but we’re back up to 600 and that is really good … I think we’ll get even more. We would love more people to come

through … if they don’t book in, they can walk in and we’re happy to take them in too.” Western Health’s head of infectious diseases, Dr Marion Kainer, said she saw lots of positives to being vaccinated. “There are health benefits to you as an individual. There are health benefits to your loved ones and you’re protecting elderly persons. You’re protecting those who don’t

have good immune systems. We’re ensuring that we can protect the community.” Dr Kainer said getting vaccinated was even more important as winter approached, as people would be indoors more, which increases the risk of super spreading events. She said while there were concerns about the AstraZeneca vaccine due to blood clots, she said the risk for those over 50 was extremely

low. She said studies in Europe found people between the ages of 50 and 70 were at a one in 100,000 risk of developing blood clots and people over 70 had a one in a 200,000 risk. “There’s lots of pluses getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible,” she said. “We’re in a fortunate position in Australia that we’re not dealing with what is happening overseas.”

Overnewton Anglican Community College last week celebrated the coming together of its two junior schools at the newly named Canowindra Campus. Prep to grade four pupils are now all based at the Taylors Lakes campus, having previously been spread across the Taylors Lakes and Keilor campuses. Older students will all be based at the Keilor campus. The college has invested about $25 million over the past 18 months to create state-of-the-art facilities across the two campuses, including a new prep to year 2 building. Old portable

classrooms have also been replaced. The junior campus will cater for more than 700 pupils. The Taylors Lakes college has been renamed Canowindra, which was the name of the old year 9 centre on the site. The changes are the most significant change to the structure of the college since the opening of the Taylors Lakes campus in 1996. Chair of the college board, John Durow said this was another step in the college’s master plan.

Brimbank council has been named a finalist in the 2021 Victorian Local Governance Association and Reconciliation Victoria HART awards.

Sydenham station stays put By Tara Murray The owners of the old Sydenham railway station are working with Brimbank council to secure the building’s future after a planning permit to relocate it was withdrawn. As reported by Star Weekly, the Mornington Peninsula Railway Society submitted an application to relocate the station building – which is more than 100 years old – to its tourist railway. Many residents raised concerns about the proposal, including Sydenham MP Natalie Hutchins who started a petition calling for the station to remain in Brimbank.

Last week, the society withdrew its application with president Andrew Saine saying he was surprised by the reaction. “We were under the impression it was fairly neglected and needed some attention to turn it into something special,” he said. “We have been quite surprised and a little bit disappointed how negative things have been in Sydenham. We’re not about taking buildings from significant areas. “It’s [the station] getting worse by the day. The building needs some love and hopefully finds someone who will care for it and get the love it needs.” QIC, which owns the nearby Watergardens

town centre, owns the station building which has been unused for 19 years. Watergardens centre manager Joe Galea said QIC continues to work with Brimbank council in planning for the future of the Sydenham railway station. “We look forward to being able to share further details about our plans for this important historical site as we reach key planning and approval milestones.” Brimbank city development director Kelvin Walsh confirmed the application had been withdrawn and there was no other proposal before the council to demolish, remove or relocate the building.

Treading the boards again Caroline Chisholm Cathlotic College’s Damian Bernardo will be among the excited spectators as the school’s students return to the stage. Mr Bernardo, the college’s head of learning for performing arts, said it had been a long 18 months for students since they were last able to put on a show. He said while many of the students were able to do some performance work through online and video during the coronavirus pandemic, it wasn’t the same as being on stage. “We are so excited to be putting on a show again,” he said. “We’re excited to be back so the community can see our students’ amazing work. They missed out on the relationships and connections that are normally developed.” Mr Bernardo said year 11 and 12 students had been working hard the past few weeks

ahead of the school’s first performance next week, a drama showcase. “We’ve had two artists working with the students over a six week period,” he said. “We wanted to bridge the gap and build skills and confidence back up. “We’ve chosen some more challenging subject matters they can delve into.” The college has also announced the return of the College Musical in 2021. Mr Bernardo said they would perform Footloose, which they had been working on before COVID-19. “We wanted to pick the show up again,” he said. “All the students are continuing their roles, with new students coming in to replace students who are no longer at the school.” Tara Murray

Gambling debt tip of the iceberg By Tara Murray A local counsellor says gambling is only the start of the problem for many Brimbank residents who have gambling debts. With Brimbank continuing to top the state for spending on poker machines, calls for intervention continue to grow. In March, $14.68 million was spent on electronic gaming machines (EGMs) in Brimbank, the second-highest monthly spend since the introduction of poker machines. December 2020 recorded the highest monthly spend ($14.72 million). Australian Vietnamese Women’s Association

Gambler’s Help Program co-ordinator and gambling counsellor Thao Hoang said she had seen a number of people who had returned to gambling since venues reopened after COVID-19. The AVWA provides free and confidential counselling services to the Vietnamese community. “We work with people in the west, especially people from Brimbank,” Ms Hoang said. “People gamble for fun and go into venues where they have a sense of belonging. The noises, the lights and the hosts make them feel welcome. “A lot of clients come into venues to forget

all the troubles back home. They end up with nowhere else to go.” Ms Hoang said gambling can be just the start of some people’s problems. “Some people have a lot of debt, but they don’t know how to get the money,” she said. “They keep gambling hoping to … win back the money and pay off their debts. A lot … get involved in the criminal pathway.” Ms Hoang said there was a stigma surrounding gambling and seeking help. Her organisation has worked with a number of groups, including Brimbank council, to raise awareness. “A lot of the education work is having to

explain the early warning signs,” she said. “Much of our community doesn’t have an understanding about us as counsellors. “We raise awareness on gambling harm, addiction and what the warning signs are and where to seek help.” Brimbank mayor Ranka Rasic said it was frustrating to see Brimbank consistently record the highest gaming machine spends in the state. “This is one top spot we don’t want,” she said. “We will continue advocating for industry reform and engaging with government and non-government groups to help reduce the impact and harm associated with gambling.”

Dog parks reviewed

Rain plays havoc

Burnside Heights Recreation Reserve is the most obvious location for a future dog park in the area, but residents will have to wait for it. A report which looked at options and associated costs for a future dog park in the Burnside Heights area was tabled at a recent Melton council meeting. The recreation reserve was considered the most suitable of eight open space areas investigated. The report stated the reserve has adequate space for the provision of an off-lead park and would likely serve a large area of the Melton east corridor. “There are 6439 dogs currently registered in the Melton east corridor and it is estimated that there are 2100 dogs in the area that this off-lead park will service, therefore demand for an off-lead park is likely to be strong,” the report stated. There are five dog parks in the municipality – Harkness, Melton South, Aintree, Hillside and Diggers Rest. Parks are also being proposed for Eynesbury, Fraser Rise and Cobblebank. “The provision of dog off-lead parks in the municipality has demonstrated that they are well used by the community and increasingly in demand,” the report stated. “The condition of existing parks shows that the areas receive high levels of use, however these are not always meeting user requirements. Requests are also being received for improvements to established dog parks.” The council doesn’t have a dog off-lead park policy and has been advised it would likely cost $30,000 to establish one. The council voted to consider a review of off-lead parks in the 2022-23 budget.

Heavy rain last week played havoc on Brimbank roads. VicRoads reported flooding on several following downpours throughout Tuesday, including Ballarat Road, near Caroline Springs Boulevard in Ravenhall, and Kings Road in Sydenham. Motorists were urged to use Mt Derrimut Road instead of Fitzgerald Road, due to flooding between the M80 Ring Road and Swann Drive. Residents also posted on social media that there was flooding on Taylors Road near the St Albans train overpass earlier in the morning. SES crews were kept busy following call outs to assist with leaking roofs. Tara Murray

Funding boost for trail-blazing park plans Plans to revitalise Sydenham Park have been given a boost, with $300,000 funding for a new walking trail network at the park. The park is one of two Brimbank reserves to receive funding as part of the state government’s Revitalisation Grants, announced late last month. The state government and Brimbank council will work together to build the trails. The council-owned park is currently closed to the public because of safety concerns and rubbish dumping. A master plan approved by the council last year highlighted landscape-based, nature-tourism opportunities for the park, as well as cycling, walking, jogging and bird watching. 8 BRIMBANK & NORTHWEST STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 11 May, 2021

The council allocated $100,000 in its recent draft budget to implement the plan. Friends of Sydenham Park’s Neil Hunichen said the group welcomed the state funding. “It is great news,” he said. “There’s a lot of things that need to be done at the park. “We believe that the funding should be used to get the existing paths into better condition. “Some of the original paths, I would say, are 100 years old. They really need to be asphalted to allow pedestrians and cyclists, like myself to use them.” Mr Hunichen said there was also a need for toilets and rubbish bins at the park to make it more user-friendly. He said the area could be something special.

“To get $300,000 is great news,” he said. “It’s the jewel in the crown. It’s 20 to 25 kilometres from Melbourne and close to the Melbourne Airport. “Tourists can spend time there with the airport less than 30 minutes away.” Keilor Park Recreation Reserve will also receive a $300,000 Parks Revitalisation grant, on top of money allocated by the council in its draft budget. Sydenham MP Natalie Hutchins said the funding would greatly benefit the community and encourage people to make the most of the parks. Tara Murray

Mayor’s message

STAY INFORMED

Cr Kathy Majdlik

Council services and facilities: melton.vic.gov.au/COVID19 COVID-19 restrictions: dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

With the State and Federal Budgets imminent, Council eagerly awaits news regarding key strategic submissions developed to transform our City into a thriving commercial hub, create more local jobs for residents and attract greater investment in our local economy. Our submissions includes funding from both levels of government for the upgrade of the Western Highway, the Western Intermodal Freight Precinct; Outer Metropolitan Ring Corridor, electrification of the Melton rail line, the Melton Hospital, and TAFE and tertiary education. These transformational projects of state and national significance, would create long-term job opportunities well beyond the construction phases, and we are hopeful that other levels of government will support these initiatives in their upcoming budgets. In other exciting news, Council was pleased to receive confirmation that three local projects have been funded under the State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund. The funding includes $352,000 to upgrade Banchory Green Reserve, $800,000 towards construction of Mt Atkinson Children’s and Community Centre, and $2.58 million towards development of the Mt Atkinson Active Open Space Precinct. As part of funding agreements, Council will make substantial contributions to each project, along with Stockland, who will also contribute to the Mt Atkinson Active Open Space Precinct Project. This funding means vital community infrastructure projects will get underway sooner, which is a great result for our community. You’re welcome to contact me regarding council matters at kathy.majdlik@melton.vic.gov.au or on 0412 584 058.

Ward Talk – Deputy Mayor, Cr Goran Kesic One of the things I enjoy most about being a Councillor of this wonderful City is seeing transformational projects that will benefit our community come to fruition, like the recent sod turning ceremony I attended to mark the commencement of works to extend and refurbish the Brookside Pavilion in Caroline Springs. Brookside Recreation Reserve is one of the most actively used spaces within Cambridge Ward; that’s why getting a project like this off the ground is so satisfying not only for user groups, but certainly for Council. By modernising and expanding the spaces the pavilion offers, we will create greater opportunity for local sporting clubs to welcome new members, increase local participation in sports and encourage residents to engage in more social and active lifestyles. This much welcomed upgrade, which includes extending the social

space and amenities from 70 to 120 people, a large kitchen, refurbishing the change rooms to include female-friendly facilities, and adding a new community meeting room, will go a long way towards meeting the increasing demand for quality sporting and recreation facilities in our City. At $1.5 million, this project is being undertaken in partnership with the State Government, which provided $850,000 in funding through the Growing Suburbs Fund. Combined with Council’s contribution of $685,000, we will deliver infrastructure that will create a stronger, more liveable and connected place for our residents. This project will no doubt transform this much loved facility into a truly wonderful asset for our community and I look forward to celebrating its completion at the end of the year. Please feel free to contact me on 0437 241 436 or goran.kesic@melton.vic.gov.au regarding any Council issues.

Marathon effort for kids By Goya Dmytryshchak Altona mother-of-three Melissa Searle is running seven marathons in seven days to raise funds for Bravehearts, helping prevent child sexual assault and exploitation. The assistant principal at Movelle Primary School in Kings Park is also a lead facilitator in Brimbank and Melton for the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships, which emerged from the Royal Commission into Family Violence. “Our aim is to make sure that all the kids in this entire world are safe,” Ms Searle said. “Especially in Australia, I think Bravehearts are a major contributor to raising awareness for the safety of our kids and I like that. “Being an assistant principal and working with kids, they’re in the forefront of my job. “I’ve got a love for all kids and I just want to make sure that they’re safe. “If I can do this and raise awareness – through where I work as well – that gives me the confidence to know that the kids know that there’s people here that can help them if they are suffering from child exploitation or sexual abuse. “If I can make that difference to one student or one child, it’s all worth it.” Kicking off in Toowoomba on June 28, Bravehearts’ 777 will work its way through Brisbane, Mount Isa, Cairns, Townsville and Mackay before culminating at the Gold Coast Marathon on Sunday, July 4. To register for the 777 Virtual Marathon or to join the 777 marathon in person, register online at www.bravehearts.org.au/777.

NEWS

Help shape Brimbank Brimbank residents have until the end of this week to have their say on shaping the future of the municipality. The 2021-25 draft council plan is being developed, with the council seeking community feedback as part of the process. The draft plan centres around four strategic directions – places and spaces, opportunity and prosperity, people and community and leadership and governance. The council is also seeking feedback on the existing long-term 20 year community vision and the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan. Following the consultation, the council will develop a draft plan for 2021-2025 and related documents that will be considered later this year for adoption and implementation. Brimbank mayor Cr Ranka Rasic said the plan would be the playbook for the next four years. “This is an opportunity for community members to tell us their expectations and hopes so that we can develop a four year plan that is realistic, targeted and measurable,” she said. “Shaping Brimbank is about working together to deliver policies and programs that make life better and create connected, safe, healthy and well communities, places and environments.” Community consultation closes on May 16.

Move to tackle air quality By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay council has moved to improve the health of residents in Brooklyn, which has the eighth highest air pollution concentrations in Australia and a rising rate of lung cancer among young people who have never smoked. Cr Tony Briffa moved a motion at the last council meeting to bring together all parties responsible to address the issues, which they said had plagued residents for more than 15 years. The council will seek to meet with

neighbouring councils and other stakeholders to discuss air quality issues in Brooklyn under its Brooklyn Air Quality Advocacy Plan. The list of other stakeholders was long: Environmental Protection Authority, relevant state MPs, ministers for planning, environment and public transport, VicRoads, chief health officer, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Department of Health, Department of Transport, Inner West Air Quality Community Reference Group chair, West Gate Tunnel Project, Brooklyn Community Representative Group and ward

councillors. The motion, which included development of a Brooklyn Air Quality Advocacy Plan, was unanimously passed. Cr Peter Hemphill told the meeting the air quality issues also affected surrounding areas such as Altona North, South Kingsville and Spotswood areas. “It is quite alarming some of the stuff that this [Inner West Air Quality Community Reference] Group has found and particularly the amount of expert evidence that was given to the group, and the thing that struck me

the most in the whole of the report was a line where it says that the incidence of lung disease affecting the 20-30 year age group who have never smoked is on the rise … that just sums it up beautifully why we need to act.” Group chair Patsy Toop said members continued to meet “to educate the community about the problems that we have here in the inner west and to enable the community to take control of those issues and understand them and therefore not be so heavily exposed to these terrible carcinogens and toxins that are in our atmosphere”.

COVID pain, joy explored Salkic, who is known as Mido, says that the times we live in are a source of pain but the exhibition also showcases the great human ability to feel sublime joy at the same time and within the same consciousness. “This unique national recognition is a great honour for me, to get the chance to unite two of my favourite countries in this way; Bosnia and Australia,” he said. “The aim of this exhibition is to make everyone more human and more connected and closer together and more understanding of each other as equal, unique beings that we are. “It is also great to know that I have risen from those muddy refugee tent floors on which I stood as a boy, to now be at the forefront of my new country, to symbolise its progressiveness and strength with my art on the international stage.” Tara Murray

St Albans artist Saidin Salkic’s take on the COVID-19 pandemic will be on show half a world away. The former Bosnian refugee, who is a leading contemporary artist, will have a permanent exhibition installed at Australia’s consulate in Sarajevo. It was commissioned by Australia’s embassy in Vienna, which oversees the Sarajevo consulate. Salkic’s exhibition, Human angst and joy, deals with human emotions amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The exhibition reflects on Salkic’s personal experience and he said is in many ways inspired by the Srebrenica genocide. Salkic was 12 years old when Bosnian Serb troops overran the United Nations-declared “safe area” where he, his mother and sister, and thousands of other Bosnian Muslims had sought refuge in July 1995.

NEWS

MY BRIMBANK Krystal Delanty’s journey at Caroline Springs Football Club started when her children began playing at the club. She speaks with Tara Murray about the football club and the wider community. What is your connection to Caroline Springs and local area? I have been a local resident for over 10 years. My husband and I moved to Melbourne from country Victoria. We moved to Caroline Springs after having our first child. Our four children all go to a local school. What do you love about the area? I love that it is family-friendly and the parks and playgrounds are great. Everything we need in regards to shopping and dining is close by and if we need to go to the city, it’s accessible.

What’s the thing you love most about being involved in the club? The friendships with parents and fellow players. I love watching our children play footy and have fun. My children have made a lot of friends outside of school by being a part of this

(Damjan Janevski) 234224_01

You’re involved with the Caroline Springs Football Club. How long have you been involved at the club and what is your role? My two eldest sons started playing Auskick about eight years ago. We then progressed to junior footy at CSFC. I started off just as a parent, volunteering at my children’s games and training. In 2018 I decided to have a go at playing senior women’s footy after seeing a few mums I knew playing – it has been one of the best things I have done. It has kept me active and I have made lifelong friends. I joined the general committee not long after, helping with social media/communications and late last year I accepted the secretary role. All four of my children play from Auskick right up to under-16s. club. I love seeing the community get together and enjoy each other’s company, particularly after missing last season due to COVID. What are your favourite places to visit in Caroline Springs? Blue Marlin for the best fish, chips and burgers.

We usually visit after Sunday footy games. Sabai Gai Thai Massage on CS Boulevard does great massages and the ladies are super lovely. We have a lot of great coffee shops so I share the love with all of them. I also love walking around the lake and going along the creek with the kids.

Tell us something about yourself that not many people know? I am an award-winning chef, having worked in a lot of great establishments in country Victoria and Melbourne and I have had recipes and reviews published in numerous publications. I have cooked for many famous celebrities.

Hitesh Palta (right) and the IGA Deer Park team. (Joe Mastroianni)

Leader of the pack When Hitesh Palta was touched by the plight of seniors having to queue for necessities during COVID-19, it impelled and inspired him to become the architect of Australia’s very first “Elderly Hours”, a time set aside at his Altona IGA store for elders-only shopping. As a powerful, compassionate idea, it organically took off all over the country. But it’s also an example of the creative thinking and attention to needs that Hitesh shows in all six IGA stores he now owns and directs, his first venture about 16 years ago. His newest store is in Deer Park, opened last November. He’s been busy giving the store a spruce-up. “Our shelves are full to the brim, and our fruit and veg section has been given a makeover, with the produce fresh and inviting,” Hitesh says. “We also have a great deli loaded with quality selections. And we get our meat from the local butcher we’ve hired. I know our customers are already impressed with the changes.” Hitesh is an old hand at bringing about

changes within his stores. “I learnt the ropes during my time as a qualified accountant with front-of-shop experience at Wandong IGA, which gave me insight into both sides of the business – sales and finance. This IGA was my first investment, and it taught me all I needed – although we’re always learning and evolving as a business.” Like IGAs across the country, Deer Park IGA looks to be closely involved with giving to the community. Hitesh says that they’re looking at sponsoring a local footy club, with other ideas in the pipeline. “In the immediate, we have the IGA Community Chest, funds from which will go to either a local charity or Royal Children’s Hospital.” Go online to view IGA’s latest catalogue or to sign up for its delivery into your inbox. Deer Park IGA, 8 Hatchlands Drive, Deer Park. Opens 7am-9pm Monday-Friday; 8am-9pm Saturday and 8am-8pm Sunday. Inquiries: 8390 0811 or www.iga.com.au 12493006-SG19-2021

Harper, who was diagnosed with batten disease, had a fifth birthday to remember when fire trucks, motoribikes and rubbish trucks joined the party. Harper’s parents Haidee and Matthew loved seeing the smile on their little boy’s face as he dressed up as a firey, checked out the interior of the trucks and sat on a motorbike.

COMMENT

A healthy return to work Feeling some trepidation at the idea of coming back into the office? You’re not alone. While many people are looking forward to seeing their colleagues face-to-face and getting back to their old routine, others are concerned about reduced flexibility and the return of the daily commute. Organisational psychologists in Melbourne, quoted recently in the media, say they have been inundated with work. Hygiene and questions of supervision and productivity are among the main issues raised by employees and employers as we all transition to our new ‘COVID normal’. For some, it may seem like there are more questions than answers: What will my work look like next month? Next week? Next year? It’s another dimension to the uncertainty that’s been affecting us all since the outbreak of COVID-19. That’s why it’s important that we maintain our efforts to look after our mental health, and to look out for our colleagues. Here are a few simple tips that could help: 1. Talk to your HR manager or employer – You may find you’re able to work out a way for you to come back to the office that works for everyone, for example a gradual transition from working from home. 2. Go easy – Don’t underestimate the toll of the past year. Be patient with yourself, and with others: we’re all trying to figure out the best way forward, and it will likely take longer than we expected. 3. Keep up healthy practices, and limit the grog – Hard as it may be, try to keep up any good habits formed during lockdown, including exercise, healthy eating and relaxing hobbies. Try not to rely on alcohol to help you unwind after work. 4. Get help early, and look out for warning

signs – Our circumstances might be tough, or they might be OK ‘on paper’. But none of us are immune from stress or anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed sometimes when our circumstances change. Don’t feel ashamed: the sooner you seek help, the better. Your workplace may have a counselling

service or you could see your GP. Another free, easy alternative is CAREinMIND Wellbeing Support Service, a 24/7 professional online and phone counselling service for people living, working or studying in Melbourne’s northern, central and western suburbs.

Visit careinmind.com.au or call 1300 096 269. If you’ve been struggling or not feeling yourself for some time and need more support, call HeadtoHelp, a new mental health service for anyone in Victoria. It will help you navigate the system and find the best care for you. Call 1800 595 212.

Sunshine Council will continue its battle against plans to build a Seven-Eleven food and petrol outlet in Duke Street.

More than 1000 former students and teachers visited Sunshine Primary School for its 100th birthday last Saturday.

Sunday night’s rampage at the Melbourne Knights’ Sunshine Stadium has thrown the club’s future into jeopardy.

The biggest facelift for Sunshine in more than a decade is under way as work begins on the $3.2 million Hampshire Square.

USED CAR CHECKOUT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

New Beetle 2000 - 2016 By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring From the late 1950s and well into the ‘70s the original “dak-dak” VW Beetle was a much-loved car that sold in large numbers. But it eventually become hopelessly out of date when compared with competitors and sales plummeted and it was taken off the market. When the Volkswagen New Beetle arrived in Australia in 2000 many past owners of the original model VW looked at it with loving eyes – then they learned that it had a water-cooled front engine that drove the front wheels and stayed away in droves. New Beetle began as a three-door hatchback, the back seat isn’t all that large and the shape of the rear end cuts luggage space. A cabriolet version was launched in 2003. Its roof is a soft-top that folds down in a somewhat bulky lump. Somehow this doesn’t matter in a retro car but check out the loss of rear vision and you might not be so keen. A minor facelift was introduced in late 2005, with new trim and revised bumpers being the biggest visual change. In the first New Beetle all but the shortest of drivers will find themselves sitting closer to the back windscreen than the front one. There’s a huge dashtop between you and the windscreen. So, the A-pillars can confuse the view out because you sometimes have to move your head to see out of it. A new New Beetle arrived in Australia in March 2013. It is longer and wider than the gen-one, but a little lower. There’s more room in the back seats of the gen-two. Style-wise, the 2013 New Beetle is considered to be less feminine than the original model. There are major changes inside – there’s no longer the feeling you’re sitting in the back seat and peering over a vast expanse of dashtop.

The 2003 Volkswagen New Beetle Cabriolet, 2012 Volkswagen New Beetle, and 2016 Volkswagen New Beetle. (Pictures: Supplied)

A variety of four-cylinder, in-line petrol and diesel engines is offered in the original New Beetle. The petrol units have capacities of 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0 litres, the diesel is offered as a 1.9 and 2.0-litre. The 1.8 is turbocharged and is used in the Beetle Turbo. Performance from the 1.6 may be marginal for some tastes, the 2.0 is generally regarded as being a lot better. The Beetle Turbo has decent performance but isn’t really as sporty as it may appear. The 2013 gen-two Beetle has the quirky 1.4-litre Twincharger petrol, meaning that it has supercharger and turbocharger. A car like the New Beetle just cries out to be optioned up in special editions and the marketing guys haven’t disappointed. Examples are: Beetle Ikon, sold from 2002 until 2005; Beetle Miami (a hatchback, not the convertible the name suggests) from 2004; and the Beetle Sunshine, 2001 only. An interesting model is the Black-Orange, with paints in those colours, introduced in 2011. A Beetle Fender arrived in 2013. Though the New Beetle has only sold in comparatively small numbers, it’s backed by

The original New Beetles are getting on in years. While many have been treated like babies others may have had a hard life. A professional inspection should be considered a must. Interiors of Volkswagens generally stand up well, but some that haven’t been garaged may suffer from drying out of dashboard tops, even cracking. Repairs can be expensive. Check the interior of a New Beetle cabriolet carefully in case it has been caught in the rain with its top down. The engines should start quickly (even the turbo-diesel, as it has fast-acting glow plugs).

What to look for

Listen for a rattling noise from the engine noises when the oil hasn’t built up to its full pressure. These could indicate major problems. Look for smoke from the exhaust when the engine is worked hard. Make sure a manual gearbox doesn’t baulk or crunch on fast downchanges. The clutch pedal should be reasonably light. Check that conventional automatic transmissions are positive in their shifts and don’t take too long to go into Drive or Reverse from Park or Neutral. VW had long standing problems with its DSG automated manuals. Test that it works correctly, particularly at very-slow speeds. If you have any doubts get an expert on the DSG check it out. Feel and look for uneven tyre wear, particularly on the front wheels.

one of the world’s largest car makers and many of its parts are borrowed directly from the Golf. This means spare parts and servicing are probably available in many areas of Australia. Body panels are likely to be the only hold-up. Spare parts are about average in price for an imported midrange car. You can do a fair bit of routine servicing of a New Beetle yourself. Insurance charges are higher than average, though not to a silly level. Some companies may charge more for a Turbo.

Lexus upgrades the LX 570 By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Lexus has upgraded and given a facelift to its LX 570 S SUV. A block-mesh insert for the spindle grille replaces the previous wire-mesh insert. This gives it a similar pattern to that on the flagship Sports Luxury grade of the Lexus RX. The front bumper skirts have also been revised, with horizontal lines removed from the outer section of the skirts. Again, following others in the Lexus range, two-tone wheels with a silver fascia and gloss black inserts similar to those in the Lexus LC sports car. It has a moulded ‘S’ badge on the tailgate. Exterior colours include Sonic Quartz and Starlight Black. Inside, the luxury semi-aniline perforated leather trim is available in Black or, exclusively for this model, a rich burgundy colour named Garnet. Shimamoku Grey ornamentation is also unique to the LX 570 S. The Lexus LX 570 S has a 5.7-litre V8 engine with 270kW of power and 530Nm of torque, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It can tow up to 3500kg (braked). All that power and towing ability means that it has twin fuel tanks that hold 138 litres of petrol. Lexus Encore Platinum membership for three years is standard with every LX variant. Amongst other things it comes with eight valet parking vouchers validated at participating Westfield shopping centres nationwide, as well as at Chadstone Shopping Centre in Melbourne. Encore Platinum membership have access to Lexus on Demand – which offers the freedom to swap into another Lexus that best suits an owner’s lifestyle or the needs of an occasion. For example, they could borrow a Lexus RC F or LC sports coupe for a driving weekend, or a

Lexus LS upper-large sedan for luxury mobility. Lexus Australia chief executive Scott Thompson said the new-look LX 570 S provides a stylish option for luxury customers who prefer a sportier LX.

“The LX is our most popular L Series model thanks to its combination of maximum luxury, incredible capability and renowned Lexus care with the industry-leading Encore Platinum owner benefits program as standard,”

Mr Thompon said. “The new-look LX 570 S further broadens the appeal of this flagship luxury SUV with sporty, yet subtle design touches and a focus on enhancing its urban appeal.”

St Albans stalwart recognised By Tara Murray Ian Cook has been around St Albans Cricket Club for as long as he can remember. His mother grew up in St Albans and his father, Alex, played for the club, and for a long time held the club’s highest individual score of 208. It seemed only natural that Cook started playing at the club – and hasn’t left it since. Last month he was one of 32 people to receive a Cricket Victoria cricket community service award in recognition of more than 50 years’ of contributions to the sport. Cook said he was honoured that the club nominated him to be recognised. He was presented with a pin and a certificate “I was pleased,” he said of the recognition. “I was really thankful for the people from the club that nominated me and I feel they value what I have contributed. “I really do appreciate that the club has done this and I’m happy to get the pin.” Cook has held several roles in his 58 years at the club. He played for 30-plus years, captained a premiership side and won both the club and competition batting awards. His top score of 209 passed the then club record of 208 his father held. He has coached juniors, been a team manager for more than 30 years, run bingo to raise funds to help build the current club rooms, and has served on the committee as a general member, president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. He is also vice president of the St Albans Sporting Club. Cook’s contribution to the club has previously been recognised as a hall of famer. He is one of just four people in the hall of

fame. He is also a life member of the club, alongside his wife, who was a scorer at the club for 48 years. Cook said being involved in the cricket club had been enjoyable and joked that he didn’t know how to do anything else.

“A lot of people do things that people don’t know about [at clubs] and I’m just doing one thing. There are others doing a lot more.” Cook said these days it was a lot harder to take on roles at sporting clubs, with life getting more complicated. Cricket Victoria chief executive Andrew

Ingleton said cricket would not be what it is without thousands of volunteers. “These awards recognise and celebrate those people in the community who make a significant contribution to cricket and allow the whole community to be involved in the game we all love.”

SPORT Rested Bears ready for Northern Saints The bye couldn’t have come at a better time for Burnside Heights in Essendon District Football League division 2. Having evened the ledger at 2-2 after starting the season with two losses, the Bears are starting to gain momentum. Bears president Justin Peagram said they were happy with the first month of the season. “It’s not bad actually, with all the injuries we have copped,” he said. “We were hoping to be 3-1, but will take 2-2 at the end of the day. We had four or five out in round one and lost a few in round two. “We had a good look at Oak Park and we pushed them until half way through the third quarter, we were three goals up when Josh [Covelli] went off.” Despite having won their last two games, including beating East Sunbury for the first time since 2014 and for the first time at John McMahon Reserve, Peagram said the break had come at the perfect time.

He said there was always going to be some unknown coming back into the season, after having last year off due to COVID-19. “It was unknown how [the players] would respond with their bodies and fitness,” he said. “We’ve had three practice matches plus four rounds, there are some tired bodies.” Peagram said they would have four or five senior players in the mix to return for the senior side this week and even more for the reserves team. He said they would have nearly a full squad to choose from. One player who won’t be available is 2019 best and fairest winner Adam Sullivan, who injured himself in a practice match and is ruled out for the year. The Bears this week face Northern Saints as they look to move into the top four. Peagram said their season aim was clear. “The first thing we want to tick off is finals and then reassess,” he said. “We need to make

finals. The top two teams have been good and then there’s middle pack of teams and you have to get enough wins against them to get ladder position.” Meanwhile, the Bears women’s sides are both winless after four rounds. Peagram said they knew this year was going to be a development year and they were on track despite what the scoreboard said. “It’s a bit of a changing of the guard,” he said. “Kayla Ravanello is about to have a baby and has been our main forward. Maria Afuhaamango is pregnant and was our main midfielder. “The good thing for the club is that the club has retained a lot of under-18 players from a couple of years ago. “About 10 girls are going through the senior side. We’ve got over 50 players in the women’s program.” Tara Murray

Cats bring back the fun By Tara Murray Albion Football Club is aiming to bring the fun back to the club and it’s paying off in the Western Region Football League. After struggling in the back half of 2018 and then going winless in 2019, the Cats found themselves in division 2 for 2020. When the season was cancelled due to COVID-19, it meant they would enter the 2021 season without a win in more than a 1000 days. While some people predicted it would be tough going again, the Cats broke through for victory last weekend in round four. Coach James Doherty said it was exciting to get the win on the board. He said they had rebuilt the side twice in the past couple of years, to get to where they are now. “We knew it was going to come at some point this year,” he said. “And against Glen Orden, which is one of the teams to beat, it’s a reward for effort. 26 BRIMBANK & NORTHWEST STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 11 May, 2021

“A lot of these guys have been around for so long playing senior footy and have remained at the club the last couple of years. “We have struggled the last couple of years, but we’ve done a lot of work.“ Doherty, who was appointed coach for 2020 before the season was cancelled, said he had brought a philosophy which focused on fun first to the club. He said local football had become too serious and many players were lost to the game because of it. “We wanted the young guys to come down and enjoy their footy,” he said. “At 18 and 19 life takes over. “We want to make footy as an escape from life. We’ve said come for a good time and don’t worry about what division we are in. Being around each other and having fun, it helps enormously. “It might take a little while as we’re a little less fit, but it’s starting to pay off.”

Doherty said the playing group had helped build the game plan. He said they had buy-in from the playing group, with a number of former players returning to the club. “If we stick to it, it will work,” he said. “The last two weeks we’ve been super competitive. There are no demands on them. “We looked at round four the time that everything started to come together and we would move to the next step. Doherty said this was just the start of rebuilding the club from the bottom up. “We’re playing to enjoy playing football, wherever that takes us,“ he said. “Division 3 or division 1, we want the club to have success. “Football should be no different whether you’re 14, 24 or 34. Somewhere along the line it gets too serious.” The Cats faced Parkside on Saturday. For the result, head to www.starweekly.com.au

City West Falcons blew away Boroondara Express in the second half to seal back-to-back Victorian Netball League championship division wins. After an even first half on the scoreboard, the Falcons sorted out their defence to run away with a 77-55 win. Falcons coach Marg Lind said they took some time to get going, with former Falcon Uneeq Palavi causing plenty of headaches. “Uneeq is a good shooter,” she said. “Without Sarah Szczykulski we didn’t have the right match-up against her so we had to use a different strategy. “We got a bit better strategy and got on top. We should have blown the game out earlier, but we made a few errors.” Lind gave credit to young defender Melissa Oloamanu who had the job on Palavi. The front third of the court was again strong. Jane Cook shot a perfect 64 from 64, while Madelyn Gray, Maggie Lind and Montana Ham all had good games. Champion division shooter Tee Salanoa stepped down and played in the division 1 side to get some more match play. The Falcons division 1 side had a poor first quarter and were made to pay, while the under-19 team got its first win of the season. Lind said they continued to try different combinations in the under-19s, with 13 players having stepped onto the court in the first three weeks. The Falcons sit equal second on the ladder with two wins and a draw. Lind said she was happy with how things were going so far. “We’ve played three good teams,” she said. “Copping Geelong first-up and then looking how we’ve gone the last two weeks, to come back from nine goals down for a draw is a good result. “We’re keeping a lid on it, but we’re travelling along nicely. The Falcons will be at home for the first time this week, as they face the Hawks at Altona Sports Centre on Sunday. Lind said they were excited to play at home, with the club looking to give free entry to any junior players who turn up wearing red. Games start at 1pm. Tara Murray
