Fire hazard was known By Laura Michell
The factory fire on Thornycroft Road in Campbellfield. (Pictures:
The company at the centre of a massive chemical fire in Campbellfield last Friday had its licence suspended by the Environment Protection Authority 15 days before the blaze. The Environment Protection Authority suspended Bradbury Industrial Services’ licence on March 21, after a March 13 investigation found the company was storing more waste than permitted under its licence. A fire broke out at the company’s Thornycroft Street site about 6.40am on April 5. The EPA’s Damian Wells told a community meeting in Broadmeadows last Friday that investigators believed about 400,000 litres of waste was being stored on the site during the March 13 inspection. A subsequent inspection the day before the fire found about 300,000 litres. The company is licensed to store 150,000 litres. The EPA said storage containers on the site were not adequately labelled and were being handled outside an adequately bounded area. An EPA statement from March 21 said Bradbury Industrial Services provides storage and disposal services for hazardous and industrial waste and specialises in treating solvent and other waste from paint and related industries. Mr Wells told the community meeting it was a “privilege” to hold an EPA licence. “When that is abused, we will suspend the licence,” he said. Angry residents attended Friday’s community meeting, demanding to know what the EPA and other agencies were doing to prevent future incidents. MFB deputy chief officer Ken Brown told residents that the fire would have been much bigger if the EPA hadn’t inspected the site last month and suspended the company’s licence. Mr Brown said the fire site was the size of two Olympic swimming pools, and was believed to contain dangerous goods that caused a number of explosions. Mr Brown said the fire was an “eighth alarm” blaze – the same rating as last year’s West Footscray fire. More than 175 firefighters took about four hours to contain the fire, which caused thick black smoke to spread over Melbourne. A fundraiser set up to help a worker seriously injured in the fire had raised more than $20,000 by Monday. The Migrant Workers Centre set up an online fundraiser for Vignesh Varatharaja who suffered serious burns after a chemical drum he was pumping exploded. He remains in the Alfred Hospital in a stable condition.

Councillor concern over secrecy By Laura Michell A Whittlesea councillor says he is being denied access to vital information required to do his job. Cr Tom Joseph said councillors are often being told by chief executive Simon Overland that they cannot be given certain information because it is operational. Cr Joseph said councillors’ inability to access information made it difficult for them to advocate for residents, particularly those that are aggrieved.
“It has now almost become standard practice for the administration to refuse providing us with the information we are rightfully entitled to,” he said. “We have a right to obtain information under the Local Government Act”. Cr Joseph said councillors were also being prohibited from seeking help from officers to write alternative recommendations for council meetings. He said that prior to last week’s council meeting he asked a council officer for assistance drafting an alternative recommendation, but was told by a director
that his request was a direction to the officer and was a violation of the Local Government Act. “There is a long-standing practise that officers draft alternative recommendations … I wanted [the recommendation] written in a way that was legally acceptable,” he said. Cr Joseph said he has raised his concerns with Mr Overland in the past and was speaking out because he felt “things are getting worse”. While he declined to comment on whether he had confidence in Mr Overland, opting to reserve his comments on the matter, Cr Joseph did warn that the chief executive is in danger of
losing the council’s confidence. “The CEO has to perform his role under the Local Government Act. If he doesn’t perform, I don’t think he will have the confidence of council,” Cr Joseph said. Mayor Lawrie Cox said he had the “utmost confidence” in Mr Overland and the administration in regards to the assistance provided to all councillors on a consistent basis. “Councillors have to be aware of their responsibilities and compliance with corporate governance rules and the requirements of the Local Government Act,” he said.

Hospital a life saver for Alyssa recommended Alyssa have open heart surgery. Ms Malins said hearing that her four-month-old needed open heart surgery was a shock, but credits the doctors and nurses at the Royal Children’s Hospital with helping her come to terms with the news. “It wasn’t the best feeling in the world that your little girl needs open heart surgery, but the doctors and nurses were comforting and reassuring,” she said. “If it wasn’t for the Royal Children’s Hospital, we wouldn’t have a happy and healthy little girl.”
Ms Malins said these days Alyssa was a typical toddler, attending childcare four days a week and loving life. The family urged others to show their support for the hospital during this year’s Good Friday Appeal on April 19. “I always say we are very lucky to have such a hospital. It would be great if people could support it any way they can,” she said. To donate to the appeal, visit: goodfridayappeal.com.au Laura Michell

Mernda’s Alyssa Malins is just like any other two-year-old. But at only a few month old, Alyssa had life-saving open heart surgery at the Royal Children’s Hospital to close holes in her heart. Mum Kim said doctors discovered Alyssa had a heart murmur at her six-week check-up and immediately referred her to the Royal Children’s Hospital. Alyssa had an echocardiogram, which led doctors to discover she had two holes in her heart. Doctors ruled the holes were too big to close over on their own, and they
Parts of the Broadmeadows Aquatic and Leisure Centre will be closed for up to six months while the centre is upgraded. The Tanderrum Way centre opened almost 40 years ago and is a popular place for locals to exercise and socialise. Hume council said the oldest parts of the centre needed to be upgraded to ensure the community could continue using the centre for years to come. Mayor Carly Moore said the work would cost $2.49 million and would take place until late September. The 25-metre pool and attached changerooms will be closed during the renovations, while there will also be reduced space in the gym. As a result, some swimming lessons will be suspended, with parents notified of the suspensions last month. “This will cause some inconvenience and we appreciate your patience while we make upgrades to the oldest part of the centre,” Cr Moore said. “The majority of the centre will remain open during the works, including the 50-metre pool and attached changerooms, group fitness rooms, stadium, centre entry and parts of the gym. The work will include repairs to the 25-metre pool hall roof, changeroom upgrades, a new steam room, new on-deck showers, removal of the mezzanine balcony and resurfacing of the pool concourse. The centre’s energy efficiency will be improved, with north-facing windows to be double glazed and tinted and pool plant equipment updated. Information: facebook.com/broadmeadowsleisure

A Broadmeadows company has helped a My Kitchen Rules team to make 27 tonnes of cookies. Modern Baking Company was tasked with helping South Australian team Lyn and Sal to turn their cookie recipe into a limited edition product to be sold in Coles stores nationally. The team won the prize after their chocolate macadamia brownie was judged as the most delicious during an MKR challenge aired on March 24. Modern Baking Company’s sister company, Susan Day Cakes in Hallam, helped convert the winning recipe into one that could be mass produced, before the Broadmeadows company got to work making more than 27 tonnes of the
cookies. Modern Baking Company general manager Bruce van Twest said the company was thrilled to recreate the recipe so customers across Australia could enjoy the creation of Lyn and Sal. Coles bakery general manager Jon Haggett said Modern Baking Company had been instrumental in giving Lyn and Sal the opportunity to see the cookies sold at Coles. “To be able to manufacture large volumes of cookies with a soft and gooey brownie centre was not easy,” he said. “MBC was the perfect partner for this challenge because of its quality standards and manufacturing ability.” Laura Michell

Station parking hits hip pocket By Laura Michell A motorist is fined for illegally parking at Coolaroo train station almost every day, making it the worst station in Hume and Whittlesea for illegally parked cars. Latest data from the Department of Transport reveals 362 fines were issued at Coolaroo station between March 1, 2018 and March 1, 2019. The next highest number of fines were issued at Thomastown (160), followed by Epping (91) and Roxburgh Park (53). South Morang commuters were fined the least (13).
‘‘
Work is already under way on delivering more parking
’’
- Ros Spence
Mernda station’s carparks are not gazetted, meaning no data is available on the number of fines issued there. Motorists can be fined for parking not completely within a parking bay, stopping in a no stopping area and stopping in a permit zone.
Hume and Whittlesea commuters have long complained about problems parking at train stations, reporting that carparks are often full by 6.30am, forcing them to drive to stations further up the line. A recent state government survey of 200 Craigieburn commuters found that more than 50 per cent were forced to park in local streets. Hume council has been lobbying for an increase in train station parking, particularly at Broadmeadows. The RACV’s 2017 On Track Survey found difficulty finding a parking space was one of the main issues commuters had with train stations
in the north. Last year, the state government announced it would build at extra 745 spaces at Craigieburn station and 70 spaces at Epping station – however they won’t be available until mid-2020. Yuroke MP Ros Spence said a concept design for the new 745-space carpark at Craigieburn would be available later this month. “Work is already under way in delivering more parking on Potter Street straight away – as we do the work to provide 745 new carparks for commuters in 2020,” she said. ■ Nightmare

Extra care for hospital The first step in the expansion of The Northern Hospital is complete following the opening of a new intensive care unit. The cutting-edge unit paves the way for construction to begin on the main work of the hospital’s $162.7 million expansion. The $22 million ICU, which will provide care for the hospital’s most critically ill patients, was opened by state Health Minister Jenny Mikakos late last month. It features central monitoring, creating a safer environment and a more efficient workspace for doctors and nurses. The hospital expansion work will include a seven-storey tower, complete with 96 new inpatient beds, three operating theatres and more treatment rooms. Once complete, the project will allow the hospital to treat an extra 10,000 patients each year.
Ms Mikakos said the expansion would create close to 500 jobs and is expected to be finished in 2021. “Our hard-working doctors and nurses at Northern Health do an amazing job caring for people who need their help,” she said. “We’re completing a once-in-a-generation redevelopment so they can do what they do best.” Thomastown MP Bronwyn Halfpenny said the expansion would ensure families living in the northern suburbs could access the best care when they needed it.

Going nowhere fast
Poor score for Donnybrook
By Laura Michell The 24-kilometre journey from Wollert to Melbourne’s CBD, via High Street and St Georges Road, should take 55 minutes. But the daily reality for Whittlesea residents driving into the city for work is that the trip takes significantly longer. Whittlesea council organised a mini bus to drive from Epping Road, Wollert, to the corner of Exhibition and Lonsdale streets last Thursday to mark National Nightmare Commute Day. Organised by the National Growth Areas Alliance, the day aims to highlight the travel woes of people living in outer suburbs. On board the bus was mayor Lawrie Cox, residents Priyam Shah and Chirayu Shah, Wollert train advocate Tony Francis, Thomastown MP Bronwyn Halfpenny, Northern Metropolitan MP Fiona Patten, and Keith and Lee from television show Gogglebox. Our mission was to leave Wollert at 7am and to get Priyam and Chirayu to work in the CBD by 9am – and we failed. We arrived in the city shortly before 9.25am. We first hit traffic on High Street as we approached Lalor station – where the carpark was only half full because buses were replacing trains on the Mernda line between Epping and Thornbury because of level crossing removal works at Reservoir. It was a crawl from Lalor station, taking 20 minutes to travel one kilometre. One rail replacement bus we passed at Thomastown station was standing room only, at just its third stop. By 9am we were only half-way through our journey and Lee noticed school children were walking along High Street faster than we were moving. We found ourselves in bumper-to-bumper

traffic again from Ruthven to Reservoir stations as motorists navigated the level crossing removal works. Priyam and Chirayu usually drive from their homes to Lalor station, where they catch the train to work. Chirayu said the journey takes about 90 minutes on a good day. Train cancellations and delays can cause the journey to blow out to two hours.
Whittlesea council wants upgrades to arterial road across the city fast tracked, and for the E6 Freeway to be built sooner rather than later to alleviate traffic on surrounding roads. It is also advocating for a rail extension to Wollert. The extension of Edgars Road and the second stage of the O’Herns Road upgrade and Hume Freeway interchange work is also a priority but is being held up by federal government delays in approving an environmental assessment.
Donnybrook train station has been named as Victoria’s worst – and now the RACV wants commuters to have their say on how it can be improved. The V/Line station was rated the worst in Victoria in RACV’s On Track Survey for 2017, with commuters rating it 3.41 out of 10. The RACV says that a recent spike in population in Melbourne’s outer north and little investment in public transport, carparking or station design had resulted in commuters slamming the station. RACV senior planner Stuart Outhred said the organisation was taking a closer look at the four worst stations in Victoria to see how they could be improved as part of the Fix My Station survey. The other stations are Ruthven, Aircraft and Dandenong. “The concerns already identified through the On Track survey included security fears, problems accessing a station or finding a carpark, overcrowded trains and poor connections to other transport networks,” Mr Outhred said. “It’s only through the input of the people who use these facilities on a regular basis that we can gain a true picture of what the problems are.” The Fix My Station survey comes just months after the state government announced it would create extra parking and extend the city-bound platform at Donnybrook.

Council split on draft budget By Laura Michell
A Whittlesea councillor has opposed the council’s draft budget and two others have abstained from voting on it. Cr Caz Monteleone voted against the draft budget at a special council meeting on March 26 amid concerns it would cause financial hardship, while councillors Ricky Kirkham and Alahna Desiato refrained from voting.

3 per cent increase. The council decided last year to separate its waste charges from general rates to protect itself from ongoing problems in the recycling sector. Mayor Lawrie Cox said the proposed $14.50 fee was a result of the council losing $900,000 in revenue from “contractor purchasing” of
recyclable materials. “We held any rises for the first year and are not going to pass the full cost of this service on to our residents, but we do need to increase charges slightly this year to offset some of this,” he said. Cr Monteleone said he was against the waste charge, as well as plans to raise leisure centre fees by 15.9 per cent. He was also concerned about the council’s level of borrowing. It plans to borrow $17.84 million in 2019-20. Council plans to spend $72.7 million on capital works, including $8.9 million to install signals at the intersection of Ferres Boulevard and Findon Road and $4.1 million for the
construction of the Findon Road extension from Williamsons Road to Danaher Drive. Cr Sam Alessi said these projects were essential. “Traffic congestion is one of the items our community has raised concerns about a number of times,” he said. “These projects will make a huge difference to east-west traffic in our municipality.” The budget includes money to allow the council to rejoin the Municipal Association of Victoria and the Victorian Local Governance Association. Residents can have their say on the budget until 5pm on Friday, April 26. Details: whittlesea.vic.gov.au

Shoplifters on police radar Thefts from retail stores are on the rise in Whittlesea, new crime data reveals. Crime Statistics Agency data shows there were 805 thefts from retail stores in the municipality in the 12 months to December, 2018. That was a 16 per cent increase in the number of shop thefts in the 12 months to December, 2017, when 692 were recorded by police. The data shows that retail thefts are now at their highest level since 2009, when data was first collected. Police recorded 221 offences in Epping, 267 in Bundoora and 97 in Mill Park. Mernda Senior Sergeant Daniel Jamison said police had been paying particular attention to thefts from shops in the past year. “Over the last 12 months, there has been a concerted effort by local police to support retailers and detect and prevent offences at our major shopping centres,” he said. Senior Sergeant Jamison said police had run specific operations at major shopping centres in a bid to catch offenders. The two week operation targeted shoplifters and theft from motor vehicles in a bid to boost community safety. Laura Michell

Mayors plead for road cash By Laura Michell Funding for a northern roads package is urgent, according to the mayors of Whittlesea, Hume and Mitchell. In the lead-up to the federal election the northern mayors are calling on the federal government and opposition to improve roads in their municipalities and help unlock the north’s potential. They say a northern roads package would improve access to jobs, investment and create more liveable communities. The mayors say residents in Whittlesea, Hume and Mitchell spend increasing amounts of time trying to navigate freeways and arterial roads that are gridlocked. They want funding for a Hume Freeway diamond interchange at Wallan, the E6 Freeway and the duplication of Mickleham and Somerton roads. Whittlesea mayor Lawrie Cox said the proposed 23-kilometre E6 freeway would connect the Hume Freeway with the M80 Ring Road, easing congestion on Whittlesea’s arterial roads. He has called on the government and opposition to commit to building the road by 2031. “The population in the City of Whittlesea is expected to grow by 159,000 people in the next 20 years and the majority of this growth will occur within the E6 corridor, placing even more pressure on our road network,” he said. Hume mayor Carly Moore said Mickleham and Somerton roads needed duplicating yesterday. “Despite the significant growth alongside both these roads, they still retain single lanes in parts, causing serious bottlenecks and congestion for travellers,” she said.

Mental health help on the way By Laura Michell Young people with mental health concerns will be able to seek help closer to home after the federal government vowed to establish a satellite headspace service in the municipality. Last week’s federal budget included $16 million to establish more headspace services around the country, and some of the funding will be used to create a satellite office of the Greensborough headspace in Whittlesea. Whittlesea mayor Lawrie Cox said the satellite service was a good “first step”, but a permanent service was needed. According to Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network, Whittlesea has a higher than average rate of people aged over 18 years with high or very high psychological distress. “Statistics show us that the need for youth mental health services is growing along with our population,” Cr Cox said. “We’re keen to see a dedicated headspace centre be funded in the City of Whittlesea, rather than a satellite service, in the future as there is definitely the need in our community.” Cr Cox said there is currently a four-week wait for services at headspace in Greensborough, which is the closest service to Whittlesea. The budget also includes a $1.1 billion suburban roads package which will be used to upgrade roads in the northern and south-eastern suburbs including Childs Road, Mill Park; Epping Road, Epping; Bridge Inn Road, Doreen; and Sunbury Road, Sunbury.
However the state government has already allocated funding to upgrade of all four roads. It is not known if the federal funding will allow the scope of the projects to be expanded. Hume council said while funding for Sunbury Road was welcome, it was not enough. Mayor Carly Moore said the council would continue to lobby for further road upgrades and the delivery of the Bulla bypass.
‘‘
The need for youth mental health services is growing - Lawrie Cox
’’
She said the bypass would address safety and congestion problems in and around Bulla. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, the government has already committed to spending $50 million to duplicate the Hume Freeway between Lithgow Street and the M80 Ring Road. Also included in last week’s budget was a commitment to fund kindergartens until the end of 2020. “While a federal commitment to fund five hours of preschool until 2020 is a step in the right direction, the reality is that it still does not give parents of young children the certainty they need beyond next year,” Cr Moore said. “Council will continue to work with other councils to advocate to the federal government for a long-term commitment to kindergarten funding.”

Broncos leave run too late Hume City Broncos couldn’t close the gap enough to steal a come-from-behind victory over Keilor Thunder in Big V men’s state championship. Neither side was able to gain control in the first half, but luck was on the Thunder’s side. They led by five points at the main break, before taking control to increase that lead to 12 points at the final change. The Broncos threw everything at the Thunder in the final quarter and got back to within five points but Thunder responded and pushed the difference back out to eight points, winning 94-86. Broncos coach Matt Foster said in the end they left their run too late. “We played a good team that have been together for a number of years,� he said. “We didn’t shoot well, only 36 per cent. We didn’t play well in the first half. “You can’t wait until the final quarter to make steps to get back into the game. “We couldn’t get the stops we needed late and they made some big shots.� Jordan Coleman top-scored with 22 points before fouling out late in the game. Lee Jeka, (18 points), Jake Martin (15 points) and Jamal Shabazz (15 points) also scored double figures. Both Martin and Coleman had double-doubles. Foster said while they were able to hit match winning scores, it was on the defensive end that they really needed to step it up. “We’ve had moments offensively and we have scored a winning score in every game,� he said. “In defence we’ve had lapses here or there. It’s been all of us. We’re still getting to know each other games. Everyone is a little bit frustrated with themselves.�
The loss leaves the Broncos in fifth spot with a 3-2 record, having slipped behind the Thunder (4-2). Foster said they would have taken that at the start of the season, with a brand new team coming together. “Being 3-2 we would have taken that with only three guys back from last year, with everyone else new including the coach. “It’s a great group of guys who are pulling together for the same cause. “We should get better later in the season.� Meanwhile, the Broncos women’s side remains the only undefeated side after four games in the women’s state championship competition. On Saturday night, the Broncos accounted for the Casey Cavaliers 80-62. The Broncos set up the win in the first half, outscoring the Cavaliers 40-24. Kristy Rinaldi top-scored with 20 points, while Nicole Zammit, BreAnna Brock and Azia Bishop also scored double figures. The Whittlesea Pacers’ women’s state championship team got its first win of the season on Sunday, beating the Warrnambool Mermaids. The Pacers did most of the damage in the second quarter, when they outscored the Mermaids 21-6. Rachel Bell had a day out with 45 points and 10 rebounds. Danielle Reinwald was the only other player in double figures, scoring 16 points. The Pacers men’s division 1 side had a tough weekend, losing both its matches.
Hume City Broncos’ Jamal Shabazz puts up a shot on Sunday. (Shawn Smits)

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,â€? Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deďŹ nitely the best part of my job.â€?

SPORT Mill Park shows its depth to bounce back from loss Mill Park coach John Kyrgios believes “a kick in the bum” early in the season has been a good thing for the team. After a disappointing round two loss in FFV state league 2 north-west, Kyrgios focused the training sessions on concentrating for the whole game. On Saturday the training paid off with Mill Park recording a 1-0 win against Epping City. “Last week we had a lapse of concentration in the middle part of the game and it cost us,” Kyrgios said. “It galvanised us at training and focused on not losing that concentration. “Maybe a kick in the bum so early is a good thing for us.” Kyrgios said Saturday’s win could have been much bigger if they had taken their chances. “Everyone was talking about it being the club’s big derby,” he said. “We managed to score a goal. “We should have been three or four goals up at half-time, we made it hard for ourselves.
“They pressed us in the second half, but we were able to come away with the win.” Kaua Aparecido Gomes Da Silva was the goalscorer for Mill Park, scoring his second goal of the season. The win is Mill Park’s second in three games and has it towards the top of the table. Kyrgios said he had high hopes for the playing group. “I see things in a really good light and there is a lot of depth in the club. “It’s just been about adjusting to a new model and trying to adapt to what I want to bring in. “It’s about creating a good culture and having people who are committed and want to come and turn up. “The quality is there, it’s about the discipline and carrying out the game. “I don’t want to step too far ahead though.” Kyrgios said things were going nicely in his first season at the club after a slow start with the playing group adjusting to his game style. Kyrgios comes to the club with an extensive
background in coaching women’s teams. Last season he coached a state league 5 men’s team while still coaching the women’s team. “A very close friend was at Mill Park and said I should go for an interview. “I’m done with women’s for the moment. It’s been really enjoying and rewarding [but] I thought I’d do something a bit different.” In other state league 2 north-west matches, Hume United remains without a win after losing to Westgate 1-0. Hume is one of three teams which are winless after three rounds. In state league 3 north-west, Lalor United beat Upfield 2-1, while Craigieburn City was too good for Sunbury United, winning 3-2. Greenvale United was on the winners’ list in state league 4 north, while Plenty Valley Lions had to settle for a draw. Tara Murray Mill Park’s Dimitri Tsapogas. (Damjan Janevski)
Cannons come out firing By Tara Murray The Calder Cannons returned to the winners list with an improved performance against Murray Bushrangers in the NAB League Girls competition. Having suffered their first loss of the season the previous round, the Cannons came out firing this week, kicking the only three goals of the first quarter. Once in front, the Cannons were never headed, and went on to win 9.7 (61)-5.4 (34). Cannons’ girls talent co-ordinator Russell Humphrey said it was a much better performance than the previous round. “Last week we only played well for a quarter,” Humphrey said. “We played much better for a lot longer [this week]. We stuck at it for a bit longer. “We could have won by more, we missed some shots.” Humphrey said one of the pleasing things was the improvement in the first quarter. Despite having only lost one match, he said their starts hadn’t been the strongest element of their game. Alana Barba was named best on ground, while NAB academy member Georgia Patrikios also had a good game. Humphrey said one of the most pleasing performances was that of Gloria Elarmaly. “Her forward line pressure has been outstanding,” he said. “She was starting to get worried she wasn’t getting rewarded for her effort. It was good for her to play well.” Barba and Georgie Prespakis kicked two goals each. Humphrey said the Cannons were making sure they looked after the bottom-age girls such as Prespakis. “She’s similar to the other 16-year-olds, she’s going OK,” he said. “There’s still another two years in her development. We’re trying to look after her and the other 16-year-olds, so they don’t get tired. “It’s a long year.” The win has the Cannons sitting third after five rounds. Humphrey said the key is to continue to improve. “The improvement from the start of the year and even from last year is really impressive. I’m excited by what this group has done so far.” Meanwhile, the Northern Knights also recorded their fourth win of the season, defeating the Eastern Ranges, 7.8 (50)-4.2 (26). The Knights remain second on the ladder, behind the undefeated Geelong Falcons.

Plenty Valley’s Sophie Day has been named the Victorian Premier Cricket Women’s T20 player of the year. Day, who averaged 34 runs a game during the T20 competition, is one of the driving forces behind the Bats improvement this season. Bats captain Meagan Ciavarella was named in the Premier Firsts team of the season for the first time. On the men’s side, Greenvale Kangaroos’ Sunam Gautam was named in the men’s Premier Firsts team of the year. It was a breakout season for Gautam with both the bat and ball. Meanwhile, the Kangaroos have appointed Trent Johnson as their men’s premier coach for next season.
DVCA
Narinder Sharma has become the third Bundoora player to claim the Diamond Valley Cricket Association’s Ray Christensen Medal. Sharma finished on 16 votes, equal with Macleod’s Robbie Wise, to be the Bulls’ first winner in 20 years. Sharma was also named in the Barclay Shield team of the year. In good news for the Bulls, Jason Kaminski has been reappointed coach for next season. It will be his third year in charge.
AFLW
While she wasn’t able to taste the success of a premiership in her first AFLW season, Sunbury’s Maddy Prespakis has been honoured for her stunning debut season. On Tuesday night, the 18-year-old was named the NAB AFLW rising star winner with 49 votes, 10 clear of Greater Western Sydney’s Alyce Parker. Prespakis was also named in the All-Australian team, alongside former Calder Cannons teammate and good friend Monique Conti. The win caps a successful season for Prespakis, who was also named the AFLW players best first year player and was sixth in the AFLW coaches champion player of the year. Prespakis averaged just under 20 possessions a game, third in the league, and kicked six goals.

Greenvale happy with solid first-up victory Greenvale showed some positive signs in a solid first-up win against Pascoe Vale in the Essendon District Football League Premier Division. While it wasn’t the prettiest game, with both sides running out of legs in the final quarter, the Jets put a stamp on the game after quarter-time. Just one point separated the two teams at quarter-time, but the Jets kicked eight goals to five to win 11.12 (78)-8.7 (55). Jets’ coach Paul Chapman said it was a nice way to start the season. “Pascoe Vale were good on the day,” he said. “We played some pretty good footy and found some areas to work on. “The pressure Pascoe Vale put on us, made us go back into some bad habits. “It’s good to see that now, so we can work on
it. It was a very positive start.” The Jets could easily have won by more, having missed some easy shots at goal. Chapman said goalkicking is one area they would work on. Jacob Thompson kicked four goals for the winners and set up a few others. Ryan Townsend played a solid game, while ruckman Fabian Deluca set the game up early. Chapman was also pleased with the performance of Tom Cleary in his first game for the club. “He played at Williamstown last season and is a huge addition not just in the back line,” Chapman said. “Having played footy at that level, he’s good at teaching guys as well.” The Jets have been one of the quieter teams in
the off season, with Cleary the only confirmed in. They are still hoping to get 2017 Reynolds medallist Zac Keogh signed up, but are unsure whether he will get cleared from Maribyrnong Park. Despite the lack of ins, Chapman said their depth had increased in the off season. “Laurence King, Matt Stillman and David Sardo all played in the twos. “There’s a battle for spots and guys have to earn their spots with the pressure from underneath pretty solid. “The positive from a lot of injuries last season, was the young guys getting opportunities. “They started to get that belief … they came back to pre-season thinking they are senior footballers and they are training that way too.”
Chapman said the focus over the next few weeks was to the work they established during the pre-season. He said they were hopeful of also getting a better idea of what their best team looks like. “We’re just trying to get the best team out there, playing the best football we can each week,” he said. “We’re just focusing on us and it’ll take a few weeks to find out our best team.” In division 1, Tullamarine accounted for Westmeadows, while Roxburgh Park fell short against West Coburg. In division 2, it was big first-up loss for Jacana on Friday night, with Burnside Heights smashing them 27.9 (171)-12.11 (83). Tara Murray
The Eagles have landed By Tara Murray A new season has bought new fortunes for Whittlesea in the Northern Football League. Having struggled in division 1 in recent years, the relegated Eagles had an enjoyable start to life in division 2 in the opening round on Saturday. The Eagles had their biggest win in recent years, beating Epping 23.15 (153)-9.8 (62) Coach Blair Harvey said the win was a massive confidence booster for the side. “The boys had a tough year last year,” he said. “To get the first win gives the side confidence and they sang the song really proudly. “From where the club has been, it will help build up some confidence.” While the scoreboard showed nearly a 100-point win, Harvey said the match was a lot closer and the team still had a lot of improvement to make. “We didn’t play great football until the last quarter,” he said. “We were scrappy … Speaking to the Epping coach, it was the bigger bodies and experience of being in a higher division [that] helped us. “The score didn’t reflect the game, they were good for three quarters before we blew it out.” Harvey said Riley Dyson, Jaron Murphy and Xavier Dimasi all showed the benefits of a big pre-season and were among the best on ground. Recruits Samuel Indian (four goals) and Lachlan Beattie were others that stood out. Harvey, in his first season as coach, said he had been happy with how the pre-season played out. “We recruited a lot of guys who are under 20,” he said. “We needed to build something. We could get guys who are between 33 to 38 who are good footballers, but if we go back to division 1 they won’t go up. “Even if takes one or two years to go back to division 1, hopefully we’ll have a group that will stick together for 10 years.” It was a good day all round for the Eagles. Their reserves won by 199 points and their under-19s won by 100 points. The Eagles this week face Diamond Creek, before facing last year’s runners-up Eltham. “They are tough games coming up, and hopefully holds us in good stead,” Harvey said. “Diamond Creek is definitely pushing to play finals and even top two “Eltham lost on the last kick of the grand final after being the best team all year.” In other games, Thomastown lost to Eltham 16.7 (103)-7.13 (55). On Friday night in division 1, Northcote Park was too strong for Bundoora, winning 13.8 (86)-7.9 (51). In division 3, Laurimar had a big win against Reservoir, 20.21 (141)-8.5 (53). South Morang won a thriller against Kilmore, winning 10.12 (72)-10.6 (66). Mernda lost 15.18 (108)-11.8 (74) to Heidelberg West. Whittlesea’s Riley Dyson runs into Corey Middleton.

Roxburgh Park’s Karina Carroll takes a mark in front of her opponent. (Shawn Smits)
Confidence boost for Pies Roxburgh Park started the Essendon District Football League Women’s division 1 season with a massive win. The Magpies experience shone through against Coburg Districts, which was playing its first ever match. The Magpies kicked the first four goals of the game and extended that lead in every quarter, winning 13.15 (93)-0.1 (1). Rainbow Ebert kicked three goals in her return to the club, as did Shelby Best, who is still eligible to play under-18s, and captain Sarah Mazzucco. Sarah Bond was named the Magpies’ best. The win is a confidence boost for the side, which had a tough 2018. In other matches, Tullamarine fell just short in its first ever match against Essendon Doutta Stars. The Tullamarine started the better of the two sides with the first two goals of the game. They still held a one-point lead at the last break, but the Stars kicked three goals to one in the last quarter, to win 5.8 (38)-4.5 (29). Kiandra Tuvaine was named the Demons’ best. Greenvale Kangaroos also had a first-up loss to Aberfeldie 2. After an even first quarter, the Gorillas broke the game open in the second quarter and held on to win, 6.10 (46)-5.2 (32). In premier division, Westmeadows flexed its muscles with a 21.21 (147)-0.0 (0) win against Craigieburn. Renae Schwarze, in her first match for the Tigers, kicked six goals, while skipper Jacinta Scott kicked four. Scott was named best on ground. Tara Murray

By Jimny, new SUV goes all right By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring
AT A GLANCE SPECIFICATIONS
Suzuki Jimny is quite simply the most talked about vehicle on the planet. Forget the multi-million-dollar, ridiculouslyoverpowered vehicles just unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the cute-as-a-button Suzuki is the one that is dominating car-nut conversations everywhere. Since the first photos of the Jimny were released dealers have been bombarded with inquiries. Suzuki Jimny simply has no competition. No one else builds a low-cost, small, genuine 4WD. The closest vehicles come from Jeep and Land Rover, but they are out of the Jimny’s price class. We’ve just spent two weeks in a brace of new Jimnys, one a manual the other automatic. Styling I must admit being wrong when first sighting Jimny at the Queensland launch, feeling that it was just too boxy. But after seeing it on the road and watching the attention our test Jimnys got from passers-by I’ve fallen in love with it. The interior has a neat old-style dashboard, but it’s bang up to date with big easy-to-read instruments and a infotainment screen. Powertrain Power comes from a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with 100 horsepower (75 kW in Aussie numbers) and 130 Nm of torque. The torque peak is at a relatively high 4000 rpm, but it feels fine from about 2000 and there’s a nice spread of grunt in all normal driving ranges. The engine sits in front of either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. All four wheels are driven by way of a transfer case with 2H, 4H and 4L modes that are selected by a lever on the centre tunnel.
Suzuki Jimny 1.5-litre five-door wagon ENGINE Capacity: 1.462 litres Configuration: Four cylinders in line Maximum Power: 75 kW @ 6000 rpm Maximum Torque: 130 Nm @ 4000 rpm Fuel Type: Standard unleaded Combined Fuel Cycle (ADR 81/02): 6.9 L/100km CO2 Emissions: 158 g/km Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Suzuki dealer for drive-away prices.
Cute as a button from any angle, Jimny would sell on looks alone, but there’s a lot more to it than simply its styling. (Supplied)
Safety Small … tough … ladder chassis … rigid-axles … heavy duty suspension. All are excellent features in a genuine 4WD. But make it very difficult to build a tiny vehicle that collapses well in a crash. The result is that Jimny only has a three-star crash rating. Driving One more gear in the manual and a two more in the auto would have been appreciated on
the open road, particularly on motorways. Around town the manual and auto both feel fine and the NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels are noticeably lower than on the old Jimny so the interior is more sedate than you might expect. It’s not to small-hatch standards but surprisingly close. Handling is good with levels of grip and ease of control at speeds that belying that fact that it’s a body on chassis 4WD. The steering feels a bit vague at times as on
old-style truck-based 4WDs. The secret is to avoid correcting every tiny little movement and let the Jimny make its own corrections. Strong crosswinds do move it around at times, something that would be very tiring on a long trip. As part of the media launch in January we did serious off-road driving on moguls and steep, deeply rutted hill trails. The new Jimny has even better approach / ramp-over / departure angles than the old, which were already excellent. Jimny takes you places where other alleged SUVs would get well and truly stuck and does it so easily that it feels more like a stroll in the park than a battle with the terrain. Summing up If you enjoy adventurous weekends but live in a big city and can only afford one vehicle the Jimny should sit at the top of your short list.
