A national social services report, Dropping o� the Edge 2015, has listed several Hume and Whittlesea suburbs among those experiencing a web of disadvantage that made it impossible for residents to break out of poverty.

Broadmeadows in particular was listed as one of six of the most severely disadvantaged postcodes in Victoria.

�e �ndings were emphasised when compared with previous studies undertaken in 2007, 2004 and 1999, revealing the suburb’s entrenched disadvantage.

Coolaroo, Campbell�eld, Lalor and �omastown were also ranked in the “disadvantaged group”.

�e Jesuit Social Services and Catholic Social Services study used 22 indicators to measure wellbeing, health, community safety and education.

It found that disadvantage was concentrated into a small number of communities where residents were three times more likely to experience long-term unemployment or to have been exposed to child maltreatment, 2.6 times more likely to experience family violence, 2.4 times more likely to be on disability support, and twice as likely to have criminal convictions than the rest of thge population.

Broadmeadows MP Frank McGuire has questioned the report for singling out Broadmeadows as one of the most disadvantaged in the state.

Mr McGuire said the �gures did not accurately portray how much the suburb had changed in the past decade.

He listed the Hume Multiversity, the

Hume is looking squeaky clean a�er a three-month, council-run clean-up.

Council sta� targeted six areas, carrying out repairs, removing gra�ti and cleaning up litter. Parts of Broadmeadows, Sunbury West and Roxburgh Park were most recently given a once over.

Hume mayor Adem Atmaca said o�cers spent about �ve days at each site, applying mulch to garden beds, trimming and collecting tree branches, mowing grass and removing trip hazards on nature strips.

“We’ve scrubbed o� gra�ti at 20 sites and removed rubbish that had been dumped across 27 locations, in parks and along streets,” Cr Atmaca said.

“Council o�cers also repaired park seats, restored or replaced 34 broken signs and dealt with damage to 22 pit lids and seven sections of road or kerb.”

Almost 200 property owners received notices about unsightly properties, overhanging branches or landscaping that had not received council approval.

A gra�ti audit was conducted, identifying every site in the municipality that has been defaced.

Cr Atmaca said the audit found 1139 sites with gra�ti, and a total of 14,453 square metres of illegal scrawl.

He said the council had a zero tolerance approach to gra�ti. “We work hard to eradicate gra�ti and we’re supported by an army of volunteers who are dedicated to enhancing Hume’s appearance.”

Residents are encouraged to report gra�ti by calling 1300 HUME CLEAN (1300 4863 25326).

Free removal kits can be picked up.

Clean-up puts shine on Hume

By Matt Crossman

Should a compulsory vote be held? Is there support for an independent Sunbury even if annual rates were to increase signi�cantly?

�ese were among questions posed by auditors investigating Sunbury’s planned separation from Hume during a largely polite public meeting last Friday.

�ere were none of the �reworks feared in some quarters. Friday’s meeting in the Sunbury Memorial Hall was the �rst since a heated gathering at Broadmeadows last September, a�er which a probe was launched

into the alleged behaviour of two councillors. �e general mood on Friday indicated support for a �nal, compulsory vote on Sunbury’s separation, which is among the options available to auditors Frank Vincent and John Watson, who will make recommendations to state Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins by August 31.

About 250 people – including representatives of Sunbury Residents Association (SRA), Sunbury Community Progress Association, Broadmeadows Progress Association, council sta� and the Australian Services Union – were there to hear the two auditors share

Doubts linger on Sunbury polltheir thoughts on the information they had gathered.

Mr Vincent noted a “very signi�cant” percentage of residents took part in the non-compulsory 2013 poll that paved the way for Sunbury’s separation.

‘‘�e question becomes ‘What was it that they voted upon?’,’’ the retired Supreme Court judge said, re�ecting on a perceived vagueness in the original question.

Confusion about what was at stake was borne out on Friday night, with some residents saying they thought the poll was about merely indicating an interest in the matter being

investigated, and others maintaining it was a hard and fast vote on secession.

�e auditors also covered issues raised in information sheets released throughout June – from possible impacts on rates through to service delivery and population growth – and acknowledged the limitations of previous studies.

Pro-split supporters, including SRA president Bernie O’Farrell, defended the validity of the 2013 vote, while Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn was roundly booed a�er asking whether people could trust that the result of a second poll would be respected.

Students from Hume Central Secondary College (HCSC) are getting a taste of university life as part of a program to encourage budding arts students to consider tertiary study.

�e Smith Family (TSF) and RMIT University’s ‘SmArts’ program is being o�ered for the fourth time at the school, to encourage years 9 and 10 students to recognise their potential to work in arts professions and trades.

�e program, which started last week and will run until August 4, has taken students out of the classroom and into lecture theatres and university workspaces.

Taste of uni life inspires learners�ey have been learning how to create

stop-motion �lms.HCSC students were joined by students from

Wyndham Central College.�e students were taken to the National

Gallery of Victoria to visit the Kaleidoscopic Turn exhibition, which brings together works by artists who use colour, light, sound, movement and space so as to in�uence and inspire their stop-motion �lms.

HCSC assistant principal Snezana Veljanovski said the students had loved their immersion in university life.

She said most had been selected because of their artistic abilities, so they could explore their post-schooling options in art and design.

“It’s about raising expectations about going to university,” she said. “We want the students to aim high.”

TSF’s Victorian general manager Anton Leschen said the program was designed to help the students get the most of their education, “stay at school to complete year 12, and aspire to ful�lling careers in the �eld of their choice.”

A two-year-old blond Labrador from Roxburgh Park became the centre of an elaborate hoax last weekend.

�e pup, named Jax, was in the backyard when his owner, Onur, answered a knock at the front door from a man dressed in a uniform resembling those of the Hume council’s local laws team.

Onur said the man told him he was from Hume council and was there to take away his dog because of numerous

“I told them to get the hell o� my property,” Onur said.

�e tradesman, who has been living in Roxburgh Park for about three years, said he was unsure how the men knew he owned a dog.

He described his neighbours as “very friendly” and said that Jax was not the sort of dog to bark throughout the day.

“It’s very weird,” he said. He has created a Facebook fan page for Jax,

called “Jax the stupid Labrador,” which has more than 200 “likes”.

complaints. �e 29-year-old dog lover, who did not want to reveal his surname, said he was immediately suspicious of the man, who had rotting teeth and a tattoo on his neck.

“I could tell straight away that they had fake council uniforms on,” he said of the man standing at his front door and his accomplice in a white van sitting outside his house.

Onur asked the men whether they had a warrant to enter his property. �ey said they didn’t but would be back with one from the police next week.

He described the men as aged in their 30s with fair skin and blond hair.

Hume council acting infrastructure director David Fricke urged residents to be wary of two men posing as council o�cers.

“Every time a council o�cer knocks on a door, they will provide the resident with ID and give details on why they have attended,” he said.

�e incident was reported to Victoria Police. Anyone with information about the o�enders can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A peak caravan industry body has partnered with Wodonga TAFE to o�er formal quali�cations in caravan manufacturing, servicing and repairs.

Caravan Industry Australia’s (CIA) industry development manager, Daniel Sahlberg, says the association hopes the joint initiative will raise education levels and accreditation standards in the industry.

A national caravan industry training college will be established, and courses will also be o�ered on-site at caravan businesses across the state.

Mr Sahlberg said the college idea was �rst identi�ed in a 2012 industry blueprint, which acknowledged a relatively weak training and skills development culture and suggested that a workforce skills strategy be developed.

He said trainers and assessors would visit businesses and teach students while they were working on the job.

“Its entirely workplace-based, designed speci�cally for businesses so that all the training is done on-site.”

So far, 29 businesses have signed up to the program. �ey include Supreme Caravans in Craigieburn, where the initiative was launched last Monday.

Supreme Caravans general manager David Martin said his business was keen to have its sta� accredited.

“We think accrediting people will help them become more valuable employees in the industry,” Mr Martin said.

CIA chief executive Rob Lucas said the college was an investment in the future. “�e caravan industry is worth more than $1.4 billion a year and directly employs more than 5500 people.”

College enrolments open next month.

Less than a week before James Davies was due to jet o� to compete in France’s Speedway Youth World Cup, the 15-year-old’s 250cc bike slid out on a corner.

While manoeuvring a turn last Sunday,the rear wheel �icked out, causing the biketo tip, leaving the Craigieburn youngster splayed on the ground with a broken collarbone, and a wasted ticket to Aquitaine in south-east France.

“�ey replated my collarbone and put six screws in it,” Davies said.

But it’s only a minor setback for the budding speedway rider who started riding aged just �ve but decided to take it seriously almost two years ago.

“Last year, I was half a lap behind them [podium �nishers] and now I’m beating them,” the Mt Ridley College year 10 student said.

Speedway racing involves between four and six riders, who compete over four anti-clockwise laps of an oval dirt circuit. �eir motorcycles use only one gear and don’t have brakes.

Post recovery, Davies hopes to begin training for next year’s World Cup.

He also wants to �nish school this year to begin an electrical apprenticeship before pursing a career as a professional speedway racer in the United Kingdom in his late teens.

Broken, now scratched

Hume council has consistently failed to protect Melbourne Airport’s bu�er zone, an eminent Melbourne planning expert has claimed.

Professor Michael Buxton, who heads RMIT University’s peri-urban research unit, said Melbourne Airport was at risk of losing its curfew-free status if the council continued to rezone farming land for urban development.

A talk that Professor Buxton prepared for the Australian Mayoral Aviation Council’s annual conference spoke of Australia Paci�c Airports’ concerns that development proposals would a�ect future operations and the curfew-free status of the airport.

To highlight the issue, he mentioned some planning scheme amendments Hume council had recently approved. One was land in Westmeadows, which was rezoned for in�ll housing, and another 236-hectare block near Mickleham and Somerton roads at Greenvale, where approval was given for 2800 houses for 8000 residents, despite national aviation and state planning policy.

“�ere’s been a systematic failure to maintain the original vision for the airport,” Professor Buxton said. “Since the 1970s, it’s been eroded so that, on the east and in the south, residential development has gradually encroached on the �ight path. It’s been incremental, ad hoc rezoning of rural land,” he said. “�e short-term interests of developers have been allowed to undermine the interests of the city.”

He said the airport’s planned third runway would signi�cantly increase noise impacts to

the east of the airport, namely at Westmeadows, Gladstone Park, Broadmeadows and Jacana.

Professor Buxton said the state government would have to retro�t thousands of houses with double-glazing and insulation to ensure residents could bear the aircra� noise, and to avoid calls for a night curfew.

He said co-ordinated action across the three tiers of government was needed to stop development in the airport’s bu�er zone and address signi�cantly greater noise levels caused by air tra�c using the third runway. “It’s not too late, but there’s a threshold here and we’re just about to cross it.”

Hume council’s strategic planning manager, Michael Sharp, said a special planning overlay regulated developments a�ected by aircra� noise or those that could be a�ected in the future. He did not say how many development applications within the noise contours had been granted.

Melbourne Airport spokeswoman Anna Gillet said the airport’s curfew-free status was an extremely valuable asset to the state.

“�e curfew-free status currently provides for the movement of an additional two million passengers a year, and injects $590 million into Victoria’s economy. By 2033, this is estimated to increase to … $1.3 billion,” she said.

Ciggies out the doorWhittlesea crime investigation unit detectives are appealing for public assistance to solve a Mernda burglary. Police said two offenders in a Hilux ute arrived at a hotel on Plenty Road about 5.20am last Friday. One of the offenders forced open a glass door and once inside used a trolley jack to free a cigarette vending machine from the building. The offender loaded the machine on to the ute before driving off.

Busted by online drug adsMill Park police have found online classi�ed ads offering drugs for sale. The ads led to the arrest of Kenny Tang, 19, of Fitzroy North, last Wednesday. Police alleged he was carrying seven grams of ice that he was trying to sell. He faced an out of court hearing last week and then appeared before the Melbourne Magistrates Court last Thursday.

House burgledHume crime investigation unit detectives are searching for a burglar who broke into a house in Gladstone Park earlier this month. Police said the Barclay Close house was ransacked about 10.30am on Friday, July 17. A large amount of cash, an iPad, a Sony camcorder and jewellery were taken. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The bulbs of more than 9000 street lights will be replaced with models more than three times as energy-ef�cient across Hume this month. The council wants to lead by example so has begun the mammoth task while simultaneously helping others to lighten their environmental footprint. ‘Lighting the Way’ began two years ago with the help of a federal government grant of almost $1.9 million. The council’s target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 3600 tonnes a year, which is equivalent to taking about 900 cars off the road. The $3.4 million project has so far led to T3 tube lights being installed at the Broadmeadows Netball and Basketball Stadium, Craigieburn Leisure Centre sports stadium, Sunbury’s Aquatic and Leisure Centre gym and the Boardman Stadium, and replacing thousands of street lights.

Social cohesion is becoming more than a buzz phrase in Hume.

Five months a�er the state government announced it would spend $100,000 on local initiatives to strengthen social cohesion, a forum will be held in Broadmeadows to discuss what social cohesion means and how it applies to one of the world’s most diverse communities.

�e August 5 forum has been organised by the Hume Interfaith Network, and will feature keynote speakers Tasneem Chopra, a cross-cultural consultant and activist, Greg Barton, Professor of Indonesian Studies and director of the Centre for Islam and the Modern World, and Wayne Miller from the Community Resilience unit of the Department of Premier and Cabinet.

Hume mayor Adem Atmaca said he hoped the forum would help residents understand the diversity of religions and cultures that already coexist at Hume, which is home to people from 160 di�erent countries, speaking more than 140 languages.

“We are so proud to live in peace and friendship,” Cr Atmaca said.

�e Hume Interfaith Network’s youth ambassadors will also share their experiences since being appointed to their roles earlier this year.

RSVP by July 31 for the One Community Many Faiths forum to Alana Winter on 9205 2565 or [email protected].

Living together, making it work By Lexi Cottee

Dumping hotspots will have surveillance cameras installed if Whittlesea council’s recently appointed litter prevention o�cer has his way.

�e council received $200,000 from the state government last October to clean up rubbish from creeks and rivers in the municipality.

Russell Gladigau was appointed to the new role of litter prevention o�cer four months ago and has since inspected more than 500 locations where rubbish has been illegally dumped.

He said, in that short space of time, about 150 people had been contacted and issued with �nes, notices or removal directions.

“We are looking to purchase surveillance cameras to monitor hotspots and this will aid in catching the people responsible,” he said.

Whittlesea councillor and former mayor Mary Lalios said the council had several important waterways that feed directly into Port Phillip Bay, including Edgars Creek, Merri and Darebin creeks and the Plenty River, a tributary of the Yarra River.

“So we need to do our bit to ensure these areas don’t impact our neighbouring municipalities,” Cr Lalios said.

�e state government funding was designed to clean up sites, raise awareness and install preventive equipment, and employ the litter prevention o�cer to target litter and rubbish impacting stormwater and local waterways.

Mr Gladigau urged residents to report discarded rubbish to the council for further investigation.

Information the council requires includes street names, the types of materials being dumped, names and addresses of those

Litterers in the lens

responsible (if possible), vehicle registrations and photographs.

�e illegal dumping of contaminated �ll material, tyres, manufacturing, construction and demolition waste is an indictable o�ence.

If you have information on illegal dumping, call 92172170.

Information about how to dispose of your waste can be found online at www.whittlesea.vic.gov.au

The Principal’s Award for Public Speaking is a main event in the public speaking and debating life of St Monica’s College, Epping. The College has a proud tradition of being one of the leading and most successful Colleges in relation to students’ participation in local and State wide public speaking competitions and in debates against other schools in the region. The Principal’s Award showcases the best SMC has to offer and allows students the opportunity to demonstrate their skills to fellow members of the Monican community. The College is committed to developing confidence and competence amongst students when they

speak publicly and on particular occasions.

Emmanuel Opare-Addo �rst played percussion as an 11-year-old. His passion for music was quickly ignited and within a few years he was also singing, dancing and rapping. �is month he will release his �rst mixtape, Transitions, a mixture of original tracks that talk about love and life as a 23-year-old balancing the demands of studying, working, music and love. �e Roxburgh Park musician (pictured) says the album’s name references a turning point in his life, when he decided to dedicate more of his time to music. “I decided to make a change in my life and pursue something I’m passionate about,” says Opare-Addo, who is known as ‘Junior’ among friends and ‘Manny J’ in the music industry. Work began on the album almost 12 months ago with the aid of his brother, Michael, who helped produce. �e Opare-Addo family moved to Australia 15 years ago from Japan, where they lived for �ve years. Hence the Japanese Kanji on the album cover, which spells out Michael’s pseudonym in Chinese characters. �ere’s a busy year ahead for the rapper, who is also studying biomedical science at Victoria University and working part time in retail at a Broadmeadows shopping centre.

presentation, as well as connecting the library levels.

Upstairs, a new reading lounge with cosy window seats and comfortable modular seating extends out with views to the Darebin Creek wetlands and opens to a large deck.

Among the bookshelves is an informal classroom for 24 students and along the back of the upper level there’s a glass-walled research classroom and computer hubs. Reading nooks are tucked around the spaces.

A carefully considered colour and material palette complements the courtyard artwork, engaging with the Australian outback, an important element of St Monica’s college philosophy.

Orange fabrics, paint �nishes and benchtops link back to the artwork and sustainable Australian hardwoods used in plywood and timber �nishes link to the building’s natural surrounds.

“We selected materials that related to the language of the outback with long-term durability, where use by the students would enrich their long-term patina,” Brad says.

�e library’s running costs have been signi�cantly reduced through improved insulation, cross-ventilation, sun shading and timed lights.

Lighting was converted to LEDs, including clever track lights that zigzag along the building’s original roof trusses.

�e project’s environmental sustainability was matched with social objectives, seeking local skills and product sourcing. �e school’s maintenance team produced all of the internal joinery, including the Spanish Steps and reception desk in an onsite workshop and local builders did the extension, with renewable timbers and landscaping plants sourced from local suppliers.

Future plans include replacing older buildings with contemporary learning spaces and a wellness centre for counselling, physiotherapy and personal development. Branch Studio Architects is working on transforming the senior school library and has recently completed an art gallery and media rooms for the school.

Book borrowing has tripled at St Monica’s College’s junior campus since its recent award-winning library transformation

created a vibrant new heart for the school.Principal Brian Hanley says students �ock

into the Pamela Coyne Library from its 8am opening until close at 4.30pm, and up to 80 students attend a�er-school homework sessions held there.

Founded in 1964, St Monica’s College is a co-educational Catholic school with 1910 students between two Epping campuses, with a country campus at Strath Creek.

�e school worked with Branch Studio Architects to renovate and extend the library.

“We wanted to modernise and extend the library and make it a more pleasant place where you could work, read and meet with a choice of indoor and outdoor spaces,” Brian says.

Last November the new library won the ArchiTeam 2014 Community and Environmental Sustainability awards and has just won an architecture award in the education category of the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2015 Victorian Architecture Awards, alongside major projects including the University of Melbourne’s $129 million Design School.

Architect Brad Wray says books are central to the library’s design, which was conceived as a series of ideas about books with ‘‘chapters’’ of the architecture leading library users from one to the next. Inspired by �e Secret Garden, the entrance gives a glimpse through to an internal garden courtyard where students can sit and read on timber benches in the shade of a tree.

Facing into the library is a mural in vivid orange, an abstraction of an aerial view over Western Australia’s Bungle Bungle Range. It acts as a visual anchor throughout the library and was painted a�er hours over three months by Brad and his partner, artist Ellie Farrell.

Aside from several pods of reading nooks, the lower level has an innovative multifunction reception desk, for borrowing and library catalogue searches, with an audiovisual hot desk. �ere is also a learning pit with screen and sta� working areas. Translucent curtains provide visual barriers around sta� and student working areas, giving greater �exibility in the use of spaces.

Brad replaced the twin narrow stairs that once connected the library’s split levels, with the “Spanish Steps”, a dramatic series of platforms and steps that form spaces for discussion, meeting, photocopying, reading, viewing and

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Whittlesea occupies a special place in Noella Jacobs’ heart. She’s lived and worked in the region for more than a

decade.Noella is the director of YMP Mainstreet,

a marketing company that’s contracted to develop three of Whittlesea’s shopping precincts, at Bundoora Square, Lalor and �omastown.

“It is a part-time role, and we are passionate about supporting our local businesses and providing events for the local community,” Ms Jacobs says.

Respected for her experience and extensive knowledge of the region, she also has a wealth of experience working with other communities to develop marketing strategies for enclosed and strip shopping centres, as well as the tourism industry throughout Australia.

What do you love about Whittlesea?I love the natural beauty and history of the region. Right at our front door there are so many places where my husband and I can escape the hustle and bustle of life.

Where is the quirkiest place to shop in the area?�e European market in Lalor o�ers up some great �nds. �e atmosphere and unusual products and food at Lalor are great. It’s quite a hub for food and people travel from everywhere to try the Lebanese, Indian and eastern European eateries.

Where do you stop to eat or drink when you’re out and about?I love to visit �e Cosie Corner Irish Cafe in Dennison Mall, Bundoora Square. I recommend you try the true Irish pancakes. It feels like a true Irish home with great food and friendly old-fashioned service.You get a real sense of warmth and community spirit.

Why should visitors shop in Whittlesea?It’s an absolute breath of fresh air. It’s got that very country feel to it unlike shopping in the

city where everything is busy and impersonal. People get to know your name when you shop in Whittlesea and it’s almost like meeting a new friend.

What’s Whittlesea’s newest attraction?�ere are new shows and events at the Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention centre all the time, which I always enjoy.

What’s Whittlesea’s best kept secret?I smile when people discover the amazing art trail in Bundoora Square shopping centre. It has huge murals, which depict the history and animals of the area, plus art features created by local schools.

18 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 28, 2015

SPORT

By Tara Murray

In a competition as close as division 2 of the Northern Football League, �nishing in the top two will be a bonus.

Only two wins separate the top �ve sides. Even top-of-the-table Lalor knows every game is vital in the last �ve rounds, and Bloods president Rodney Lowry says they aren’t taking anything for granted.

“You can go from �rst to third in one match, that’s how close it is,” Lowry says.

“Fitzroy Stars are making a late run to the four as well. Any team can beat you if you don’t play at your best. You really want to �nish in the top two.”

�e Bloods did their chances of a top-two �nish no harm with a hard-fought win against �omastown on Saturday.

�e Bloods led by 16 points at three-quarter time and held on in the last term to win 9.12 (66) - 6.13 (49).

“�ere was massive wind and a wet ground,” Lowry said.

“Whoever utilised the wind the best was going to get the win.

“In the third quarter we used the breeze really well to set up the win.”

But the Bears didn’t give up and had double the number of scoring shots in the �nal quarter.

“But they kicked just seven points,” Lowry said.

“Our back press was enormous. We applied massive pressure and [made it hard for them] to kick goals.”

�e Bloods’ Todd Hughes kicked four and now leads the division 2 goalkicking.

“He was a defender and in the past two years we’ve turned him into a forward,” Lowry said. “He presents well and is a great mark.”

Jarrod King, Nick Sandy and Shannon Smith were among the best for the Bloods.

Lukas Fellows was best for the Bears.Lowry says his side will be at full strength

come the �nals a�er being �ve players down against the Bears because of injury and suspension.

�e Bloods play Whittlesea this weekend in a top-of-the-table clash.

“�ey’ve had the wood on us this season,” Lowry says. “We need to be at our best; Whittlesea is the side to beat this season. �ey were unlucky to get relegated last year. . . they had so many games where they lost by under 10 points.”

�e Eagles enter the game a�er a massive win over third-placed Hurstbridge. Nine goals to nil in the third quarter was the di�erence in the 21.11 (137) - 13.6 (84) result.

Mernda lost to Diamond Creek by 50 points.In division 1, Bundoora kept the pressure

on the top �ve with a 38-point win over Heidelberg, while Epping and South Morang were among the winners in division 3.

Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows Cricket Club’s hunt for a senior development coach has ended with two additions to the coaching panel.

�e sub-district club advertised the job and received an email from Englishman Lloyd Lambert wanting to know about the role.

A�er initially focusing on a local to �ll the role, a follow-up email from Lambert encouraged Falcons president Ben Wood to take a closer look at his credentials.

“He’s an England and Wales Cricket Board level-two coach, which is the same as level two in Australia and the level [former coach] Mitch Johnstone was at,” Wood said.

“He’s enthusiastic and passionate and really wants to embrace the junior program. He wants to come to Australia for more experience to better himself as a coach and player.”

But during conversations between the two, it was revealed that Lambert’s partner is Essex women’s cricket captain Hannah Courtnell, who was also a performance analyst for the England men’s team at this year’s World Cup.

“When we heard about Hannah we wanted her involved, too,”Wood said.

“Hannah is doing her level three coaching certi�cate. She’ll run a weekly junior training session and will also be involved in the Hatch Shield program.

“She’ll also be part of senior coach Adam Yates’s coaching sta�. �ere aren’t many female coaches of male teams in Australia.”

Courtnell, who is on the verge of England selection, will play with Essendon Maribyrnong Park Ladies Cricket Club, while Lambert will turn out for Roxburgh Park’s �rst XI.

“He’s a le�-arm defensive spinner who bats in the middle order,” Wood said. “In the shorter forms, he bats at three and opens the bowling.”

Wood said the club was also in talks with a former Australian Test player. “In principle, it will happen but negotiations are ongoing.”

He said the side would have four to six new players at pre-season training

“Adam has contacts and friends who may be interested in joining us,”Wood said. “�ey’re all ready-made �rst XI players.”

Alex Mills and Jed Kanagasabapathy join former captain-coach Mitch Johnstone in leaving the club.

Roxburgh Park will be in the north group this season.

Double bonus for Falcons

Demons ride the wind home to keep �nals bid aliveTullamarine kept its �nals hopes alive with a shock win over Essendon Doutta Stars in Essendon District Football League division 1 on Saturday.

Sitting six points outside the top four, the Demons know they have to keep winning if they are to sneak into the �nals.

On Saturday they came from behind at three-quarter time to defeat the ladder leaders 11.16 (82) - 9.15 (69).

Little separated the teams all day, but the Demons made the most of kicking with the wind in the �nal quarter to get the points.

�ey kicked three last-quarter majors while

keeping the Stars goalless to cause the upset. Coach Anthony Leydin said his side had been con�dent all week about matching it with the Stars.

“We felt con�dent on �ursday night, felt con�dent on Saturday morning and con�dent during the game,” Leydin said.

“It was very satisfying to get the win with our backs to the wall. We all know the scenario [for making �nals].”

Scott McAllester kicked �ve goals in his second game for the year, while Adam Scott was adjudged best on ground.

Leydin said the Demons’ challenge in the

remaining rounds was simple. “We need to keep winning. We can’t control what the other sides are doing.

“�ere are some issues with depth so we need a bit of luck to go our way.”

19 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 28, 2015

By Tara Murray

From the courts at Broadmeadows to the international stage, basketballer Samara Gallaher has had to put in some fancy footwork.

�e New Zealand national, who has spent the past two years playing for the Hume City Broncos in Big V, has again been named in the Kiwis’ Tall Ferns squad.

�e squad plays Chinese Taiwan and Japan before facing Australia twice next month in its bid to qualify for the 2016 Olympics. First of those two games will be at Rod Laver Arena on August 15.

�e 22-year-old says it’s a relief to be with her home team again. “It’s amazing; I’ve been working all year towards it,” Gallaher said from New Zealand last week. “If anything, it’s almost harder to make the team this time around. Eyes are watching you and making sure you hit the benchmark of what you’ve done previously.”

It’s the third year she’s been named in the squad a�er making her debut against the Opals in 2013.

“I was �rst into the [national] program when I was 16, and have been developing with them over the past few years.

“I o�cially debuted in 2013 against the Opals.

“It was a surreal feeling to play against the likes of Lauren Jackson and Suzy Batkovic, who I’d grown up watching.”

Since then, Gallaher has stepped up and been part of the starting �ve on several occasions.

Playing for her country, though, means Gallaher misses the rest of the Big V season.

�e Broncos �nished the end of the regular season on top of the ladder, and won the �nal game of the regular season 77-57 against Diamond Valley.

“�e same thing happened last year [when the Broncos won the state championship division] – I missed the whole �nals.

“To work hard all year and be taken away at the last minute does hurt.

“Fingers crossed we make it all the way, and I can come back in time.”

Gallaher hasn’t looked back since joining the Broncos last season.

“�ey called me saying they needed a guard. I had no knowledge of the team or the league at the time, but I was in Australia within two weeks. It has accelerated my development dramatically, having regular matches in a competition of really good standard.

“Halfway through last season I said, ‘Sign me up again, I want to come back’. I would love to stay in Australia.”

�e Broncos’ men’s team will play McKinnon in the �rst week of the �nals a�er �nishing the regular season in ��h spot.

Whittlesea Pacers �nished the season in seventh, one game outside the top six.

In women’s division 1, the Pacers �nished the regular season on top of the ladder, three games clear of second place.

Whittlesea in with a sporting chance of promotionSporting Whittlesea is right in the middle of the �ght for a top-two �nish and promotion in FFV state league 2 north-west.

Victory against second-placed Yarraville on Saturday means Sporting Whittlesea is now only one point o� second spot and three behind top-placed Moreland United, which lost 2-0 to Essendon Royals.

Sporting Whittlesea coach Kevin �euma said the 3-1 win against Yarraville could have been bigger.

“�e game went as we planned,” �euma said. “We always structure up well against them, and yesterday was no di�erent. We dominated all over the park and probably could have been more in front.”

�e win is Sporting Whittlesea’s second successive victory and, �euma says, it’s been vital for the club’s promotion hopes.

Each season, the top two teams are promoted.

“�e win keeps us in with a chance for promotion … but we must build on this, get on a little roll.

“As a club, we’ve built something special the last few seasons. Next year, with the addition of a senior girls team and junior boys teams, we will be back where we want to be.”

Fellow state league 2 north-west side Hume United lost to third-placed Banyule 1-0.

In state league 3 north-west, Up�eld and Brunswick Zebras played out a 3-3 draw. Maher Nissan scored a double for Up�eld, while Hashim Al Husainwy was the other goal-scorer.

Lalor United lost 4-3 to the Western Eagles, with Robert Dolevski, Peter Vrzovski and Saso Grozdanoski the goal-scorers for United.

Burak Kocak and Reha Kurul bulged the net as Whittlesea United defeated Geelong Rangers 2-1. �e win puts United fourth on the ladder,

just �ve points behind second-placed Altona City.

La Trobe University had a 0-0 draw with Darebin United.

In state league 4 north, Greenvale United got its second win for the season, beating Northern Falcons 2-0.

Northern United and Plenty Valley Lions drew 2-2, while Epping City and Watsonia Heights were deadlocked at 1-1.

Bundoora United slipped further behind with a 1-0 loss to FC Strathmore and are now nine points behind Fawkner and two behind West Preston.

Fawkner defeated Meadow Park 6-0.In state league 5 north, Mill Park smashed

Mitchell Rangers 9-1 and Keon Park lost 7-0 to Yarra Jets.

�e Whittlesea Ranges players could be excused for feeling down on con�dence a�er enduring a horror run of six games in National Premier League 1 soccer.

�e Ranges have won a single game of the six.

�e bad run included a 0-0 draw with Nunawading City, which, at that stage, hadn’t earned a point.

Coach Vinko Buljubasic said several factors were involved in the form slump.

“We have struggled with suspensions and injuries,” Buljubasic said. “It’s not an excuse, but it has a�ected the team’s form. We’ll have a few players coming back in the next couple of games and, hopefully, we can �nish on a high – there’s still seven rounds to go.

“We’ve got a really unsettled �rst XI, which changes the rhythm.”

�e loss of players has had its positives, though.

“A few younger players have stepped up,” Buljubasic added.

“We didn’t think they were ready at that age [16 and 17], but they’ve surprised me.”

He cited attacking mid�elder Marijan Totic and le� defender Andreas Bachos.

“It doesn’t matter what age they are,” he said. “If they are doing better than others, they will stay in the side.”

In their most recent game, against Nunawading City, the Ranges were le� to rue missed opportunities.

“We had eight one-on-one chances and a penalty overturned,” Buljubasic said. “It could have been a cricket scoreline if we had converted all our chances. We’re making the opportunities so we haven’t lost con�dence.”

�e Ranges are eighth on the NPL 1 west ladder.

�e Ranges played Bulleen Lions on Monday night; results weren’t available by deadline.

It was a mixed week for Hume City in NPL.

�e club won its midweek match against Werribee City 4-0.

Once �eo Markelis opened the scoring in the 59th minute, City took control and scored three more goals.

On Saturday, City lost to Green Gully 3-1. Liam Boland scored all three of the Cavaliers goal.

Markelis was the scorer for City, which is sixth on the ladder.

On Wednesday night, City plays Brisbane Strikers in the �rst stage of the national part of the FFA Cup.
