The ride way to get about
PUPILS KHOI (FRONT), OLLIE AND SIENNA
Pupils from University Park Primary School in St Albans will ride and scoot their way school on Friday, March 25 for national Ride2School Day. University Park Primary School physical education teacher Tamara Elshaar said the school won a prize for having a high number of pupils ride to school the first year it took part in Ride2School Day. “We actually did it so well in our first year that we won a prize where we had a pump track delivered to our school for a special one-off sort of event,” Ms Elshaar said. “It was pretty cool, it was a temporary BMX track that they set up for the kids so they could ride it during recess and lunch. “That was a pretty big hit for our kids.” Ms Elshaar is hoping to create more awareness around the health benefits of riding to school and staying active. “We’re trying to encourage students and families to be active and make it a part of normal everyday life,” she said. “Instead of catching the two-minute car ride with parents and carers to school, we want them to try and do a 10 or 15 minute walk to school.”
Tip objection withdrawn By Max Hatzoglou Kealba residents say they have been dealt another blow after the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) withdrew its objection to Barro landfill. A monthly community forum held by Barro Group on March 4 revealed the news to locals who were left stunned and frustrated by the EPA’s decision. In September 2021, the EPA suspended the landfill’s licence due to breaches caused by ongoing hotspots and odour impacting nearby residents. The suspension followed a notice of intention
to suspend issued by the EPA in July, alleging Barro was in contravention of its operating licence due to the odour impacts of the hotspots. Barro Group and the EPA were also involved in legal action in the Supreme Court regarding Barro’s request for an extension to a clean up notice that was issued by the EPA. Star Weekly understands that Barro Group required further time to resolve the issues at the landfill which led to the two parties withdrawing from their legal obligation. Another notice from the EPA is set to be placed on the Barro Group asking for the landfill issues to be resolved within a new timeframe.
Brimbank Community Against Barro Landfill group member Anna Jezierksi said it was infuriating to hear the EPA had withdrawn its objection to a landfill that was causing significant community issues. “We’re just so frustrated that there’s absolutely no communication with the EPA,” Ms Jezierksi said, who lives 200 metres from landfill. “November 2019 was when we first noticed the odour smell and since then it’s almost been daily. “We can’t go outside, open windows, open doors because of the smell itself.” Ms Jezierksi said has called on the EPA to
better communicate with the community. “It is their responsibility and job to protect the community and environment, and they have not done either of those things in relation to this issue. “We have absolutely no idea what’s going on, where the EPA stands on the issue. “And we have no idea going forward what the EPA intend to do and whether they intend to include the community in any sort of communication going forward. “My main goal is for the EPA to stand up and take responsibility for what has happened there and to acknowledge that having the landfill 80 metres away from homes is not acceptable.”

Station ‘superhub’ plan released By Max Hatzoglou The state government has released the Sunshine Station Masterplan, which details the proposed new look of the station as part of the Melbourne Airport Rail Link. The masterplan proposes to turn Sunshine station into a transport superhub, with the changes to nearly double the size of the current facility. The state government is calling on people who live in, work from or visit Sunshine to have their say on the masterplan from March 8 to April 10 through five online and in-person events.
Nine separate projects will form the changes to the station, including transforming one exit of the Hampshire Road bridge from a road to footpath. Other changes include a new integrated bus interchange which would relocate the current interchange to the east side of the station where the car park is. People-focused streets and junctions are also on the table, with a proposal to create new pedestrian streets that will connect people to the town centre and improve safety. Trees and greening is included in the masterplan to create attractive, sheltered and shaded space for the area.
Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan encouraged people to have their say on the proposals put forward. “Off the back of major upgrades planned for Sunshine station itself, we’re encouraging people to have their say on how we can best plan for the future of the area around the station – a future transport superhub,” Ms Allan said. “Whether you walk, ride or take public transport – we’re asking locals near Sunshine station to tell us what’s important to them for the future of this key connection in the west.” St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman said community responses will be vital for the
future. “Community feedback will be critical to ensuring the planning for the future of the Sunshine station precinct is done right.” The community is invited to provide feedback through surveys or by attending the five available events. There are online surveys specified to each of the nine projects, which can be completed in under a few minutes each, as well as one overall survey. There will also be three online workshops beginning on March 29 and two in-person evets on March 18 and 21. Details: https://engage.vic.gov.au/sunshine
Accused killer pursues unfair dismissal
Artists Kenneth McKean and Fiona Clarke. (Andrew Robb)
Aboriginal rock art for all weather The Friends of Kororoit Creek are excited to announce that volcanic rock art based on elements of local Aborignal seasons will be made and installed mid-year at The Bug Rug along the creek by artists Fiona Clarke and Kenneth McKean. After consulting with the elders at the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Aboriginal Corporation, the artists will make the rock art which tells stories of Aboriginal culture and life. The installation will be based on elements of the local Aboriginal seasons, including signs of nature such as insects and animals which made the First Nation people aware of the changing seasons or weather.
Aboriginal Clarke and non-Aboriginal artist McKean said the rocks will have symbols that tell stories of the indigenous culture. “Some of these elemental signs will be etched or painted onto, (or into) stones that will be placed around a large circle,” they said. “The circle has more than one meaning in Aboriginal culture. In this case it represents firstly the annual cycle of the year. “Other important meanings include as a symbol for a meeting place, a lake or body of water, as part of the running water symbol.” The artists said the circle of rocks will be relatable to many cultures so everyone can come and learn from indigenous artwork. The artwork will also be an acknowledgement
of First Nations people and their history. “It has many uses but will honour the Original First Nations custodian’s past, present and future who took extremely good care of this land for 40-60 thousand-plus years,” the artists said. The artwork will also feature stones that will glow in the dark to highlight the symbols at night giving them a constellatory effect. The project has been supported by Melbourne Water, Brimbank City Council, Ford and Global Giving, The Hunt Club Community and Arts Centre and the Metro Tunnel Project’s Rail Projects Alliance.
The man accused of murdering Pakenham woman Carol Clay and her camping partner Russell Hill in Victoria’s high country has made moves to sue his airline employer for unfair dismissal. Greg Lynn was sacked from his longtime job as a Jetstar pilot when he was arrested in relation to the duo’s disappearance in November. The 55-year-old Caroline Springs man has since been charged with two counts of murder and subsequently sacked from the budget airline. It has been reported that Mr Lynn lodged the unfair dismissal claim after he was sacked in January with two months’ pay, plus unpaid leave entitlements. The Transport Workers Union of Australia has taken up Lynn’s cause, other media have reported. In a letter, TWU branch secretary John Berger described Mr Lynn’s termination as “harsh, unjust and unreasonable“. “Captain Lynn’s dismissal from employment should be considered a disproportionate response,” Mr Berger said in the letter. “Captain Lynn has not been found guilty of any misconduct, he has advised Jetstar that he is on remand and therefore cannot attend at work. “Captain Lynn has not been convicted of any crime and there is no prejudice to Jetstar to await the outcome of the trial.” The matter is now before the Fair Work Commission, but no date has been listed for hearing.

Airport addresses runway worry By Max Hatzoglou Melbourne Airport has released a response to concerns from nearby residents surrounding the proposed third runway. The Melbourne Airport proposed third runway has resulted in an outpouring of submissions from residents as far as out as Braybrook with some saying the additional runway will cause disruption that may impact work and sleep cycles. Melbourne Airport has responded to concerns, saying the proposed third runway will come with its positives and negatives similar to any other projects.
“As with any major transport infrastructure project in a big-city urban environment, both positive and negative impacts are expected to result from Melbourne Airport’s proposed third runway,” a Melbourne Airport spokesperson said. Despite residents, including a retired general practitioner, saying the airport has provided insufficient evidence the proposed runway will be safe, Melbourne Airport said the impacts have been extensively analysed. “Melbourne Airport engaged independent experts to rigorously assess health and social aspects of this project, for the construction
period and as operations begin and increase over time,” the spokesperson said. “The resulting content in the Major Development Plan is the most extensive analysis of foreseeable community impacts undertaken by any Australian airport. “We are confident that the assessments are thorough and authentically presented, but we also welcome community analysis and response.” The airport admitted the project would result in more noise for nearby residents. “We appreciate that local residents are most concerned about the impacts of increased noise, and we are being transparent
that this project will result in new or more noise for some communities – particularly suburbs north and south of the airport,” the spokesperson said. “The full extent of our assessments is available online and at six libraries throughout Hume and Brimbank.” The airport is encouraging the community to express their queries and concerns via the information sessions or by making submissions via email or online.

Brookside’s new look The refurbishment and extension of the Brookside Community Pavilion is now complete. The space on Federation Way in Caroline Springs has reopened with an increased capacity of 120 people and also features refurbished club rooms and a female friendly change rooms. The upgrade was a joint funding effort of the state government ($850,000) and Melton council ($686,000). Western Metropolitan Region MP Cesar Melhem said the space was necessary to meet increasing demand for sporting infrastructure. “Caroline Springs is one of the fastest-growing areas of Melbourne. It’s important for local and
state governments to continue to work together and provide facilities like these,” Mr Melhem said. “This project has renewed the pavilion and I hope locals come and make the most of it!” Melton mayor Goran Kesic said he was excited to see the asset used by the community. “With this new infrastructure in place, we now hope to see a greater uptake in memberships and participation in sports, increasing the activity of our local residents and having a positive impact on both mental and physical health,” he said. “I’m looking forward to continuing to work to deliver quality infrastructure that keeps pace with our city’s rapid population growth.”
New data revealed shows social housing register applications in Brimbank rose by 124 application from 4073 to 4197 between September and December, 2021. Western Victoria MP Stuart Grimley said the new figures indicated the need for a housing summit. “These social housing numbers are quite scary,” Ms Grimley said.

Houli shares life story
Level crossing works started
By Max Hatzoglou Former footballer Bachar Houli will launch this year’s Brimbank Readers and Writers Festival on March 17 with his autobiography, ‘Bachar Houli: Faith, Football and Family’. Houli, who was the first devout Muslim to play AFL, will kick start the 10-day festival with writer, journalist and producer Paul Bateman to discuss his book, co-authored with Waleed Aly. Told through Houli’s journey to becoming a three-time AFL premiership player, he hopes the book can give people confidence to show their true identity and to have an open mind.
‘‘
I am truly thankful for people around me accepting who I am - Bachar Houli
’’
“When I first started playing for Essendon Football Club, the faith of Islam was getting critised for a lot of things out there that clearly wasn’t under the practice of Islam and I felt like it was my duty along with a lot of other community leaders to stand up and speak the truth and educate others about what our faith represents,” Houli said. “I was privileged enough to have that opportunity at the Essendon Football Club and the flow on effect at the Richmond Football Club and even the wider AFL community to teach them that Islam is truly a religion of peace and welcoming people just like any other religion which promotes happiness, peace and tranquility. “I am truly thankful for people around me accepting who I am because I am different to every other player, I have limitations and things I couldn’t do as part of a normal footballer’s day to day life.”

No alcohol at social events and the month of Ramadan were two moments where Houli had to differ from the team to uphold his faith. Houli said the book had lessons for all in society and not just Muslim Australians “It doesn’t just refer to Muslims, it refers to

The removal of the Mount Derrimut level crossing next to the Deer Park Station is under way, with the project set to be completed a year ahead of schedule. The final design of the $234 million project includes a new 1.2-kilometre elevated rail bridge going over Mt Derrimut Road, a new Deer Park Station and a new transport hub giving commuters safer connections to buses, trains and car parking. The removal of the level crossing is set to ease congestion for 23,00 vehicles that pass through each day and improve safety at Mt Derrimut Road where 15 boom gate collisions and 15 near misses have been recorded since 2017. Elements of the transport hub will include a multi-bay bus interchange, two spacious landscaped forecourts, rooftop gardens, a secure parkiteer bike cage and bike hoops, as well as 150 new and upgraded car parking spaces. The nearby Fitzgerald Road and Robinsons Road level crossings are progressing well, with all three level crossing including Mt Derrimut Road to be gone by 2024. Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan said the level crossing removals will shorten travel times. “We’ll deliver a brand new station – and continue to remove the level crossings at Robinsons Road in Deer Park, and Fitzgerald Road in Ardeer, which will make these suburbs level crossing free, slashing travel times,” Ms Allan said.

The windows have received a makeover recently as Kathy Holowko’s artwork ‘Water is Life’ has been installed for the 2022 CS Gallery Window Commission. Kathy took inspiration for the design from her childhood, when she witnessed the aftermath of Kororoit Creek floods.

Cambridge Ward with Cr Steve Abboushi Over the past couple of years, I think we have all come to appreciate the importance of good health, social freedoms, family and friends, and the joys our neighbours bring to our lives.
I also put forward a Notice of Motion requesting that Council write to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, asking for the duplication for Christies Road Bridge to accommodate traffic overflow during peak periods.
That’s why I put forward a Notice of Motion at the March Council Meeting, recommending that Council promote and celebrate Neighbour Day on Sunday 27 March. We’ll be hosting community events, competitions, and providing funding opportunities for residents to help them celebrate, so follow us on Facebook @cityofmelton for updates.
The bridge carries 9,000 vehicles per day, forming part of a key north south transport corridor. However, as a single carriageway, it creates bottlenecks during peak hours, that result in major delays and serious safety concerns. Council will ask the Minister to prioritise the duplication of Christies Road as a matter of urgency.
Finally, works on the signalisation of intersections along Caroline Springs Boulevard, to improve connectivity and ease traffic congestion, have commenced. Design of the Rockbank Middle Road intersection is complete, and construction will start this year, and take 12 months to complete. Works on The Crossing and Taylors Road intersections will take place in 2023 and 2024. Please feel free to contact me for Cambridge Ward or Council related issues on 0437 231 680 or steve.abboushi@melton.vic.gov.au, or like my Facebook page @AbbsMelton
We welcomed some amazing guest speakers to the City of Melton, including diversity and inclusion advocate Rhiannon Tracey who told her inspirational story of hope after suffering a spinal cord injury, and author Akuch Kuol Anyieth, who shared her journey from refugee to successful academic. Thank you to everyone who joined in these special events, as well as those who came along to the International Women’s Day community activities including yoga, zumba and karate for women, mentoring and job readiness. Our City is home to so many amazing people who are committed to calling out bias, stereotypes and discrimination, and it was powerful to also see these messages shared. This month, we also officially opened the much-anticipated extension and refurbishment of the Brookside Community Pavilion. The upgrade will support a growth in local sports participation and I look forward to seeing it being used and enjoyed to its full potential. In more positive news for our growing community, five new and expanded kindergartens, catering for more than 1,000 new kinder places, will be built across the City of Melton. It’s part of a new partnership between Council and the Victorian Government to help ensure every child gets the best start to their development and education. Please feel free to contact me on 0437 241 436 or goran.kesic@melton.vic.gov.au regarding any Council issues.

Warne’s death casts long shadow By Elsie Lange “He always left a lasting impression.” That’s how many people, including his ex-brother-in-law Rodney Callahan, will remember Shane Warne. You’d be hard-pressed to find a person in Australia who wasn’t shocked by the sudden, tragic death of one of the greatest spin-bowlers of all time at age 52 on March 5. Warne’s death has sent shockwaves through communities of cricket lovers including in Melbourne’s north-west. On the field, he was a champion, a marvel of a sportsperson to behold with the larrikin charisma of the every-man people laughed with and at, charmed or appalled, captivated all the same. Warne took 708 wickets in 145 test matches, including 37 five-wicket hauls, and had a top score of 99. Following retirement in 2013, Warne began commentating, where he continued to sway eye balls to the screens. Callahan, curator at Keilor Cricket Club, described how Warne supported his club through the years and was happy to lend a hand. Callahan is the brother of Simone Callahan, Warne’s ex-wife. “Shane was always very generous with his time, he did football functions for us, cricket functions, donated apparel and gave us cricket bats and signed I reckon nearly every Keilor footballer and cricketer’s merchandise,” Callahan said. “I used to go over there with suitcases of it and we would spend hours together, and there he was, signing it all.” Callahan said Warne had a soft spot for community sport, and thanks to his involvement in Keilor’s functions, the club was able to afford to improve their facilities, buy more equipment and experience success

on and off the field. He said the support his family has received since Warne’s death has been “overwhelming”. “We get messages, people send us photos of Shane, and a photograph of them together,” Callahan said. “It just shows the legacy that he’ll leave. “It’s very, very sad. Sad for the family, but sad for so many people in so many different parts of life where he connected with them – he always left a lasting impression.” Among those to feel Warne’s generosity was Sunshine’s Peter Hatzoglou.
A rising leg spinner in the Big Bash League, the 23-year-old said Warne had been generous in his interactions. “My relationship with Shane began in the off season in July 2021, where I was training in Melbourne,” Hatzoglou said. “I reached out to him on Instagram – I sent him a message just asking for some advice on a few little things – I hardly expected him to get back to me, but he did. “I think a lot of people in the past week have spoken about how generous he was with his time and how he was humble and all that, even

after achieving the stuff he did achieve. “That’s been my experience with him.” Hatzoglou said growing up, he’d tried to imitate Warne’s style of bowling “with the slow big turning leg spinners”. “That was something I just did naturally, because everyone wanted to bowl like Warnie, he’d been so successful,” Hatzoglou said. “For me, my bowling style, although I bowl leg spin, it’s almost like a different leg spin as you can bowl to Shane Warne. “I tried to bowl like him … [But] no one can really bowl like him.”

Help for young job seekers Two employment services providers are bringing their successful youth employment program to Melbourne’s western suburbs. Not-for-profit organisation CoAct, in collaboration with Youth Projects, has been awarded the rights to bring the federal government’s Transition to Work (TtW) program to the west, which aims to help 15 to 24 year olds find employment by giving them access to accredited vocational training and education. CoAct chief executive Matt Little said the program is customer-centred and flexible, and achieves high levels of sustained impact for the participants. “Specialist programs like TtW are at
the heart of the recent increase in youth employment, helping highly disadvantaged young people to develop practical skills to get a job or connect with education or training,” he said. “Young people, and young people in Melbourne particularly, have been some of the hardest hit by the pandemic. We’ve been there to help them navigate the challenges it’s brought and will continue to do so.” The program will have a strong focus on delivering mental health support, with Youth Projects providing help for alcohol, drugs and other issues to ensure young jobseekers receive the most effective support based on their needs.
“This is no ordinary jobs program. Our new approach has embedded mental health support to help young people recover from the pandemic and build resilience for their future,” Youth Projects chief executive Ben Vasiliou said. The program will start on July 1. Details: www.coact.org.au Molly Magennis

New data has revealed bus users are concerned about services in Melbourne’s west with poor frequency, lack of services and inadequate bus stops among the leading issues. More than 550 feedback submissions from across the state were collected by the Friends of the Earth Melbourne Better Buses Victoria Survey. Of these submissions, 40 per cent of entries have been logged across western suburbs, including in Sunshine, St Albans and Melton. Half of all respondents across Victoria felt their bus routes had ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ service frequency. All in all, the state scored an average of 1.1 rating for bus frequency out of five.

There are times I could walk home faster from the train station than wait for the next bus but is unsafe - Sunshine resident
’’
One respondent from Sunshine stated: “Buses are incredibly infrequent and poorly connected to trains, especially at night. “There are times I could walk home faster from the train station (30+ mins) than wait for the next bus but is unsafe, so I call a taxi or Uber.” Sustainable cities co-ordinator Laura Sykes said this sentiment of infrastructure lagging behind the rate of population growth was another trend identified in the data. “The other common finding was that many bus routes had poor or no connections to major hubs like shopping centres, education, employment and other key community services,” Ms Sykes said. “Therefore community members were disadvantaged with their access to key services due to the infrequent and disconnected nature of bus services in their areas.” Ms Sykes hopes to see the state government apply these findings as they plan Victoria’s public transport future. “A practical solution is for smaller, more frequent shuttle buses to run on the arterial roads to estates where bigger buses can’t fit, and that these could be 100 per cent electric shuttle buses,” she said. “It was great to hear last week that the first electric bus depot will be in Sunshine and the West will receive some of the first electric buses, however we know that in addition to this, improving frequency and connections of services is essential to increasing ridership and therefore reducing reliance on private cars.” Oliver Lees

A dedicated star for 30 years By Oliver Lees When Star Weekly sales co-ordinator Rita Elzmeter interviewed for her first job at Community News in 1992, she was quizzed on her work ethic. “I was asked if I was the type who would often take sick days. Of course, I was young and healthy, I answered I never took sick leave,” Rita said. “The day I started I had a temperature of 38.7 [degrees celsius], but I still went to work. “[My employer] took one look at me and thanked me for coming. He was happy that I made the effort to come to work.” In the 30 years that have followed that first day in the newspaper industry, Rita, despite shifting roles and working at a number of different mastheads, has remained steadfast in her commitment to quality service within the community newspaper business. On March 3, Star News Group staff joined in celebrating Rita’s three decades of hard work within the industry. She said her role and the newsroom had changed dramatically over the years. “Everything was manual back then,” she said. “There were no emails, but there was a lot of faxing. “We would do the ads manually on A3 paper and stick them on the board, then we would send them to Dandenong to be processed.“ While the process may have changed, Rita said it’s the colleagues and the clients she’s met along the way that have made it all worthwhile. “I’m a big believer in customer service,” she said. “I’ve seen weddings, funerals, births. You name it, I’ve seen it all. “I love the clients and I love the people I work with. It’s not just work, I’ve built real relationships.” Star News Group managing director Paul Thomas said Rita had been a crucial piece in

the masthead’s ongoing success. “Congratulations to Rita and thank you for her service across the industry over the 30 years,” Mr Thomas said. “Local media producing public interest journalism has never been more important. “Star Weekly is one of the few local news
media businesses left operating in metro areas of capital cities in Australia and Rita’s ongoing contribution to this vital service and essential part of democracy is to be commended.” The Star News Group is looking for more sales executives to join the team and work closely with clients and colleagues. On the job training
will be provided to successful applicants, with a strong team culture and great office location in Keilor Park just waiting for the right fit. For more information on the role or to apply, email Star Weekly account manager Gayle Williams. Details: gayle.williams@starweekly.com.au

SPORT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
The Bombers continue their unbeaten streak Essendon’s Victorian Football League women’s side isn’t getting ahead of itself despite an unbeaten start to the season. The Bombers sit atop the table after four rounds on the back of four comprehensive wins to start the year. While happy with how the side is tracking, Bombers coach Brendan Major said it was still early in the season and there’s a lot to play out. “I don’t tend to look at that [the ladder] until about half way through the year,” he said. “We’ve played some pretty good football, but many of the teams aren’t at full strength. “Some teams will welcome back between 12 and 15 [AFLW] players. We’ve played some of the teams that will be in the bottom half. “There will be some changes to the competition ladder, it’s not an indication of where we are at.” The Bombers were again convincing in their win in their most recent win against
Williamstown on Saturday. In wet conditions the Bombers beat the Seagulls, 10.5 (65)-2.1 (13). Mia-Rae Clifford and Federica Frew kicked three goals each in the win. Major said it was a good challenge in different conditions to what they had been playing in. “It was a good performance considering the conditions,” he said. “We played some really good football and an opportunity to play footy the way we want in trying conditions.” “They defended pretty well.” One of the keys in the match, was the Bombers ability to use the ball better in the front half. The core group of Clifford, Jessie Davies, Renee Tierney, Celia McIntosh and Frew are leading the way. “The forward line has played a few games together,” Major said.
“They’re really unselfish and really good to watch. “Someone like Liv Manfre has come in [from the Calder Cannons] and played a role and is really competing and finding the right spots.” Major said the win was a real team performance. He said some of the most impressive things in the win were things like shepherds, blocks and communication, things that don’t show up on the stats sheet. Irishwomen Joanne Doonan made her debut for the Bombers in the win. The Bombers were set to face St Kilda in round five on Sunday, after deadline. Major said it would be a really good challenge. “They use the ball well and are really well coached. This will be a litmus test for us.” For the score, head to www.starweekly.com. au. Tara Murray

Sports shorts VTCA The Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior finals were due to get under way across the weekend. The finals, which were after deadline, were all knockout in the top six divisions, with grand final spots on the lines. Among the local teams set to be in action, were Deer Park, Sydenham-Hillside, Grand United and Caroline Springs. For results from across the grades, head to www.starweekly.com.au.
NWMCA It was finals heartache for Kealba-Green Gully and Keilor Park in the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association earlier this month. In the George Luscombe Shield, Kealba-Green Gully’s semi final against Pascoe Vale Central didn’t go ahead due to wet weather. Pascoe Vale Central went through to the grand final, due to being the higher ranked team. It was a similar story for Keilor Park, in the women’s Geoff Law Shield, with Pascoe Vale Hadfield going through to the grand final after no play was possible due to the weather.
Australia Cup Essendon VWFL captain Louis Rowe. (Essendon FC)
Wheelchair football joy By Tara Murray Louis Rowe thought his football days were over after an accident left him a paraplegic at the age of 22. Not into wheelchair tennis or basketball, Rowe just stopped playing sports. That was until an Inastrgram post got his attention. “I had played footy as a kid and up until the age of 22,” he said. “I only ever just played footy. In 2017 I saw a few photos on instagram of people playing wheelchair footy and got in touch with AFL Victoria. “They got me in touch with the league.” The posts would change Rowe’s life in more than one way. He would take up the sport and later become the captain of the Essendon Bombers in the Victorian Wheelchair Football League. Rowe said one of the biggest things for him was being able to get back out and play sport with your mates. “It was amazing,” he said. “As soon as I got out there, the adrenaline was pumping and playing sports again.
“It was a great feeling to get back out there and it inspires me in other parts of my life.” Wheelchair football has a lot of the same rules as normal football, but just adjusted to make it work. The game is played on a basketball court with five players on at a time. Each player has different zones they’re allowed into. There is no kicking, with handballing classified as what a kick would be in normal football, with marks being paid after a handball. An underarm throw is allowed and treated like a handball in the normal game. There is also tackling, which is touching the opponent with prior opportunity paid. Scoring is the same as in normal football, with goals and points at each end of the court. The Bombers have made the grand final the last two seasons, but just fallen short. Rowe said he hopes that it will be third time lucky this year. He said it was an honour to play and captain the Bombers. This competition started in 2019, with five clubs. “I live in the west,” he said. “I came into the

sport before the league came about. “A few guys have been with us for five years now and are big Essendon fans. “We train every Thursday night. The VFLW [Victorian Football League Women’s] train at the same time, as does the VFL. “We get the odd AFL player getting round and few cafes and club people there. You go past the premierships cups on the well and are really immersed in the club.” The competition is expanding, with each club to play in a development match as well each round. There is also interest from other clubs to join. Essendon is hosting a come and try day on March 16 at the Hangar from 6pm. Rowe encourages anyone interested to come and try out the sport. “There’s a lot of people who are similar to me that haven’t play sport since their injury or ever. “You become more confident. Chairs will be provided on the night. It doesn’t matter your, age gender or skill level, we can make it work for you.” Details: https://bit.ly/3tMV0Te
The draw for the next round of the knock out Australia Cup has been revealed. Some of the match ups, include North Sunshine Eagles against Manningham Juventus, Keilor Wolves will take on Westvale, Manningham United Blues takes on Keilor Park, Green Gully plays Nunawading.

Loyalty is paying big dividends at the Eagles North Sunshine are striving for high honours in their second season in the National Premier League 3 division following a strong summer, which saw the club score a brand new facility and grow in its participants. The Eagles had its female participants triple to over 50 players from last season while the male teams continued its steady growth in player numbers while recruiting some experienced players in the senior team. Since being promoted to the NPL following a second place finish in State League 1 in 2019, the Eagles have been able to maintain loyalty on and off the field, which senior men’s coach Ben Isai says has been the key to their progress. “It’s personnel, it’s the same personnel in terms of the committee, it’s the same personnel in terms of a lot of the coaching staff,” Isai said. “We’ve kept a really strong core group of people from an admin point of view and from a footballing point of view together for the last seven, eight years and even longer in some cases. “We’ve held onto personnel, they have all got a very big vested interest in the club so that’s

probably been the biggest driving force, just the consistency of people that are running the club. “When this current committee took over 10 or 12 years ago, what they wanted to do is bring loyalty and respect, bring all those facets
back to the club and make sure that we put on a consistent brand every year. “We didn’t want to be known for having a great year in 2020 and then a poor year in 2021. “So we’ve managed to do that and when the people have got such a vested interest in the club, it makes things easier when you’re running a club of North Sunshine’s size at the moment.” Isai who is going into his seventh year as coach and 21st year at the club said the loyalty in the senior playing group has also helped the club. “In the current starting lineup, there are about five players who have been at the club for six years or more and that’s massive so that’s held us in good stead. “Again, it’s that consistency of personnel.” The club has also been able to recruit three experienced players from NPL’s top division that Isai believes will help the team strive for another promotion this season. “I have got a real emotional attachment to winning so I have always pushed for the club to be in those promotion spots,” he said.
“Again, we’re aiming for that, top two, top four is what I’ve gone back to the club with and in terms of the squad we have got this year, I think we are capable of doing that.” The Eagles’ participation numbers have increased greatly over the off-season with female participants tripling to over 50 junior and senior players, including a new under-19’s team. The club has also continued its steady growth in the male teams which the club has been able to manage well. To go with this, the Eagles scored a new $9 million facility at More Park in Ardeer which will be used by its juniors once works are completed. Isai said the club is excited for its opening game of the season which begins this Saturday at Larissa Reserve in St Albans from 3pm against reigning ladder leaders Preston Lions. The game is expected to have over 2000 people attending. Max Hatzoglou

New home for Cowboys By Tara Murray The Sunshine Cowboys finally have somewhere to call home. In one of the biggest moments for the NRL Victoria club, they will officially move into the Arthur Beachley Reserve later this month. All games in the opening round of NRL Victoria second grade competition will be played at Sunshine in a massive boost for the Cowboys. President Michael Hurinui said it was amazing to finally have somewhere to train and play every week. “Pretty much for the last four or five seasons, we had been training at a ground in Sunshine, but that was under renovations so they had to move us. “All our games were on the road. So parents with kids in two different teams were always going to different places.
“We’re really excited and overwhelmed. To the kids and families of the last five years, it’s nice to give something back.” Hurinui said having no club rooms the club meant couldn’t have functions. He said there were so many things they were looking forward to now that they have a home ground. “Everything now is a bonus, we’ve done all the groundwork,” he said. “We’ve never been able to watch juniors up to seniors on the one day.” The club had nine teams in recent seasons, but is hoping that number will increase with the new ground. While the senior season gets under way on March 26, there’s still a number of weeks until the junior seasons starts. The club will again have a senior men’s team and an under-18. The men’s team will play in division two in
the new look NRL Victoria competition. Hurinui said changes to the competition would be a good thing. The side was sitting second when last season was called off due to the pandemic. He said he expected them to be competitive this season. “You’ve always needed to have two sides to have a team in first grade,” he said. “With the change of the competition, if we win, we will move into the first division. “We are the reigning premiers in the under-18s. The last two years a lot of those kids have gone to other clubs to play first grade. “Hopefully we can get into first grade and these kids will stick around and others will come back.” The Cowboys will start their season against Casey Warriors on March 26.
The Sunshine Eagles women’s baseball team continues to amaze their coaches each week in the Baseball Victoria summer league division 3 season. Reforming a team this season, the Eagles weren’t sure how they would go. Heading into the final round of the normal season, the Eagles sit atop the ladder. Co-coach Mark Mark McKenner said the team continues to amaze them. “Every week myself and [co-coach] Allan [Allan de San Miguel], would sit around after the game and be amazed at how quickly they’ve picked it up,” he said. “We’ve had a pretty good season and we’re really happy with the way the ladies have done, considering there are seven first year players. “Five of those players have never played sport. We have done really well.” McKenner said they had focused on teaching the players the basics of the game. He said they had all picked up the game pretty quickly. “Some of the new ladies are amazed at how they have picked up things. “It’s awesome for me and Al.” McKenner said that the hitting had been the strength of the game, with the team scoring more than 10 runs a game. He said some players had a batting average of more than .700, with .300 normally seen as a good hitting rate. The pitching has been held up by McKenner’s two daughters Makayla and Lily McKenner, who are both teenagers. “That’s not normally the case in women’s baseball. It’s normally more experienced ladies. With the success of the side so far, McKenner said the side was keen to continue the run into finals. “A premiership is something we are striving for absolutely, but we need to get to the grand final first.” The Eagles were set to face Werribee in the final round of the season, after deadline.

Sunshine Heights heading in the right direction Things are starting to come together for Sunshine Heights in the Western Region Football League division 3. It’s been a less than ideal pre-season for new coach Colby Blyth with a large number of player departures. He said in the last few weeks, things were starting to look much better. “The club has lost 35 to 40 players,” he said. “A lot of players left due to work commitments, COVID and some going to other clubs. We’ve lost our whole leadership group. Losing all that leadership experience doesn’t help. “We were struggling with numbers a few weeks back and it was looking dangerous, but we’re treading in the right direction.
“We had a really good inter club hit out and it gave me an idea on players and positions.” Blyth said there had been a number of new players arriving at the club, with the age profile dropping. He said he was keen to get some younger players in the club. “It’s a whole new environment, which was what I wanted,” he said. “They’re not big name recruits, but 21-22 year olds that most clubs would know who they are. “They are going to be big for us.” Blyth said they would look to appoint a new captain and leadership group in the coming weeks. He said they were hoping that group would lead the club for a number of years to come.
He said that this year presents an opportunity to set things up for the future. “This season creates opportunities for myself and everyone else at the club. “We can create something special at the footy club, make it a place that is enjoyable to be at.” With the dramatic change to the playing group, Blyth knows that it could impact their on field performance and results. The Dragons finished third last year. He said while how they played on the field was important, he would look to judge the success of the season in a different way. “My expectations aren’t really based on the win-loss ratio. There is a level of how they go on the track.
Motivation remains high There’s a sense of unfinished business for Westgate in the FV state league 2 north-west competition this year. Westgate was sitting second last year when the season was called off due to the pandemic and had showed some really good form in the back half of the season. For coach Goran Lozanovski and the playing group, there’s plenty of motivation to continue on from last season. “It has been a bit frustrating and a missed opportunity last year,” he said. “We put ourselves in a position to get promoted and unfortunately it didn’t work that way. “We were sitting first at one stage having won seven games in a row. We had that one game between lockdowns which we lost. “Technically, we would have been promoted had we not lost that game. It was devastating we never ended up in the promotion opportunity. “It starts all over again … it’s exciting.” Lozanovski, who came in early last season, said they had worked really hard to get the group into a good position to contend again this season. He said they had been able to keep the majority of the squad together while adding five players who will help add some extra depth. Among the signings are central midfielder Marino Gasparis comes across from Banyule, having played in the National Premier League with a number of clubs. Deng Ajing is a centre half back from Hume United, whie Chol Nyok has come across from Altona East Phoenix. Rob Santilli is an experienced goalkeeper who has also joined the squad, while Ellis Davis is a centre midfielder from Geelong who is expected to be a good pick up. Lozanovski said one of the keys this season would be the depth of the squad. “That’s probably the biggest thing,” he said. “If someone gets COVID they have to quarantine, it’s important we have enough depth to cover that person for that week. “It’s not perfect and it’s hard for those guys not playing much to be patient, but a squad wins you titles not individuals.” Lozanovski said the focus for the club remains earning promotion in state league 1 for next year. He said he knows that there’s plenty of expectations on the side. “When I came to the club last year, I think it was round three, they were ambitious. “I felt we were a little bit behind the eight ball in conditioning and a few other things, which we worked hard on. “If you ask a mutual outside of football, we are favorites [this season] and we know that.” Westgate will start its season on Saturday night against Geelong Rangers. Other first round matches in that division, are Albion Rovers and Lalor United, Upfield

In state league 1 north-west, Brimbank Stallions plays Corio, Yarraville hosts Caroline Springs George Cross and Keilor Park hosts Sydenham Park.
“Everyone wants to play finals and win premierships, but I’m judging myself on how the group comes together and how much they can involve themselves at the footy club. There’s thing we want to change and set a high level of standards that filter down the grades. “People who do come into out club, there will be a minimum requirements. “We want an enjoyable to play at and if i can achieve that, wins and losses will take care of themselves.” The Dragons will start the season with a bye in round one, followed by the Easter break the following weekend. They will finally take to the field in round two on April 23 against Tarneit.
Stallions look to rebuild with young players Springs Hills will focus on youth this season in the FV state league 4 west. After a tough couple of seasons, the Stallions are looking to start building and cementing their spot in that division. The Stallions were sitting bottom without a win when the season came to an early end due to the pandemic. Stallions president Tom Markovski they were looking forward to this season. “The men’s team will be a lot better. We have a lot of young local players who are coming across. “We have an experienced coach who has coached in the NPL [National Premier League] and is a teacher, which is even better.” New coach John McAloon comes to the club having been a coach at Melbourne Knights, Hume City and Preston Lions. McAloon is keen to work with the young players and help them progress. Markovski said they were keen to make the team a place that local players can go to when they’re ready to reach that level. “At this level you get older players who want a bit of money to play in this division,” he said. “We’ve said we’re not interested in that. “We’ve started to look local. We want junior players playing senior football. “Players who have been at the club for five years are now staying at the club. “The last two years we have been ordinary, but we’ve got the right coaches and the right coaching structure in place across all our grades.” Markovski said the pandemic had also had an impact on the women’s program, which has been their strength. Markovski, who is the coach of the club’s state league 1 women’s side, said they were continuing to look to strengthen that side. “The last two years have put us back,” he said. “NPL clubs have been trying to recruit our players. We’ve got girls in our teams who started in under-10s. “We have a team in state league 1 with seniors and reserves. “Our state league 2 side were 15 points clear on top. They would have been promoted into state league 1 if the season had continued. “We are hoping to have a third senior sides in the future.” Tara Murray
