Councillor slams ‘terrible’ planBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

Too much: Helen Connelly says the proposed density of development is unreasonable. Picture: Michael Copp

‘I’ve always said the areawest of Mickelham Roadshould have been [for] large-scale living. This is really aterrible outcome. We need tohave our say.’ — Drew Jessop

THE Greenvale Central precinct structure planof the Growth Areas Authority (GAA) wasblasted at a Hume Council meeting last week.

Under the plan, 2895 dwellings will be builtfor 8000 new residents over the next 30 yearson 236 hectares of land, including vacant landsouth of Swaine Street.

The council wants the area south of SwaineStreet to be zoned as ‘low-density residential’

rather than an ‘urban growth zone’.The plan splits Greenvale Central into two

sections, with the north bounded by Somertonand Mickelham roads, Aitken College andGreenvale Reservoir. The south is bounded bysections of the two roads, Greenvale Recre-ation Reserve and Woodlands Historic Park.

Under the plan, there will be upgrades toGreenvale Reserve and Greenvale RecreationCentre and expansion of communityamenities.

At last week’s meeting, the council voted tosend a submission to the GAA, outlining itsconcerns at a recommendation to rezone somerural living zone land south of Swaine Street tourban growth zone.

GAA chief executive Peter Seamer said theauthority was taking the council’s concerns onboard.

In its submission, the council stated that ifthe area south of Swaine Street was not part ofthe urban growth boundary, it would save$10 million in road infrastructure.

Cr Drew Jessop labelled the plan as a‘‘terrible outcome for the area’’.

‘‘There are some really significant issueswith this plan,’’ Cr Jessop said. ‘‘There arehighly sensitive environmental assets around[Greenvale Central] that have been subject to‘appalling’ review by the GAA.

‘‘In terms of out of character, you can’t getmuch more ‘out of character’ when you look atthe Woodlands Park land and then you havethe potential for urban development buttingonto it. I’ve always said the area west of Mick-elham Road should have been [for] large-scaleliving. This is really a terrible outcome. Weneed to have our say.’’

Greenvale resident of 40 years HelenConnelly said she did not support developmentof the vacant land. In a submission to the GAA,she said: ‘‘I am aware that I live in a designatedurban growth zone [on Providence Road].However, the proposed density of developmentis unreasonable.’’

Greenvale Residents Association president

Daniel Garofalo said if more residents wereintroduced, more amenities would need to bebuilt.

‘‘We don’t have an issue with growth,’’ hesaid.

‘‘Our issue is having really tiny blocks andhaving a lot of people in a small area and notadequately servicing that area.’’

Submissions to the GAA closed on August27.

Mr Seamer said the GAA had received 250submissions.

“The GAA will meet with Hume Council inthe coming days to discuss the main issuesraised in its submission,’’ he said.

‘‘We have received feedback from thecouncil and from residents that they do notwant that particular area south of Swain Streetdeveloped. We’re moving into a position topotentially remove that area from the precinctstructure plan.’’

Foster carersin demandBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN ‘At any one time,

10-12 of the carerswould be on leave sothey’re not active.Often we only havetwo-thirds available.’

— Kay Gyngell

ANGLICARE Victoria in Broad-meadows has sent out an SOS toHume residents to become fostercarers.

The call comes as the nation marksNational Child Protection Week,which ends on Saturday.

Anglicare recruitment and supportworker Kay Gyngell says the organisa-tion now has 42 carers in Hume andwould like that number increased byat least 30.

‘‘At any one time, 10-12 of thecarers would be on leave so they’re notactive. Often we only have two-thirdsavailable,’’ she said.

‘‘Most of our places are always full.It’s very hard when a referral for achild may come in and we frequentlyhave nothing.’’

Anglicare is the only foster careagency dedicated to the Hume area

apart from statewide governmentagencies. More carers are needed inthe city to fill the gaps when childrenare admitted into care in emergencysituations.

Children are placed in foster carefor a range of reasons.

Some are removed from their par-ents for reasons including domesticviolence and drug abuse, while somechildren might be temporarily home-less or have an ill parent.

Sue ‘gaveit a go’

Reaching out: Sue Bailey loves to be a ‘mum’ for children in foster care.Picture: Matthew Furneaux

FIFTEEN years ago, Sue Bailey wouldnever have imagined she would ‘playmum’ to more than 50 children.

In 1997, she and her husband Billdecided to join the ranks of fostercarers with Anglicare Victoria inBroadmeadows.

The Baileys, who have six childrenof their own, have been involved inshort and long-term and emergencycare. They’ve had some children for aweekend, others for several years.

Mrs Bailey decided to become acarer after thinking about who wouldraise her own children if she wasunable to. ‘‘We came over from Eng-land with two children and had nofamily here. I always wondered whatwould happen to the children if some-thing bad happened to us,’’ she said.

‘‘I knew my family would come overand have the children, but I knew thatwould take a while. I wanted to knowsomeone would be here for them in themeantime. I’ve always liked lookingafter other people’s children.’’

Currently, Mrs Bailey is caring for atwo-week-old baby, indefinitely.

She’s encouraging other Humeresidents to consider being a fostercarer. ‘‘I’m always saying to people togive it a go. It doesn’t always workout, but there’s always help out thereand the caseworkers come out to makesure the baby is fine. If there’s anythingyou need they help, and there aretraining sessions you can attend.’’

Anglicare’s north-west home-based

care manager Jan Alexander said apool of emergency carers was vital togive children a safe environment atshort notice. “If we could build ourpool of accredited carers who areavailable even just occasionally for anight or a few days at short notice, itwould make such a difference.’’

‘No ball’ call as statue lickingbecomes harassment claim

Where it started: Jack Ogilvie with the Dennis Lilleebust in Sunbury. Picture: Matthew Furneaux

BY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN ‘‘I think I sort of blew a kiss atDennis Lillee’s ear or side of hishead.’’ —Jack Ogilvie

HUME councillor Jack Ogilvie has deniedclaims he suggestively licked a bust of cricketgreat Dennis Lillee while eyeing a woman, result-ing in a sexual harassment allegation broughtagainst him by the female council employee.

The allegation stemmed from a December2011 photo shoot at the unveiling of four sculp-tures of famous cricketers in Sunbury.

The female council employee alleged CrOgilvie crudely licked the ear of a Dennis Lilleebust while ‘‘suggestively’’ looking at her.

The complaint led to an investigation bycouncil chief executive Domenic Isola.

Cr Ogilvie told the Weekly he was made awareof the allegation only after the media phoned himlast week.

But Mr Isola said: ‘‘In accordance with councilprocess, Cr Ogilvie was made aware of thecomplaint at the time it was made.’’

Cr Ogilvie denies any sexual harassment.He said he was just ‘‘messing around’’ on the

day.

‘‘I think I sort of blew a kiss at Dennis Lillee’sear or side of his head. That was all thathappened.

‘‘It was jovial fun. We had photos taken of mepolishing his head.’’

Cr Ogilvie blamed ‘‘gutter politics’’ in the lead-up to the October council elections for the leak ofinformation to the media.

‘‘This is the dirtiest campaign I’ve ever beenthrough,’’ he said.

Mr Isola said the matter was dealt with inDecember and was resolved in January with allcouncillors briefed on appropriate behaviour intheir roles.

‘‘There was an allegation made and subsequentaction was immediately undertaken by myself,’’he said. ‘‘As CEO, I treat these matters with theutmost seriousness and respect.’’

Ratepayers rap fireservice levy changeTHE state government’s changes to the fireservice levy have been met with mixed feelingsby Hume residents and council.

The government last week announced a newmodel to fund Victoria’s CFA and MFB services.

Under the new model, the insurance-basedlevy will be abolished from July 1 and willbecome a property-based levy, to be collected bythe council through annual rates. The levy willconsist of a fixed component of $100 for resid-ential properties and $200 for commercial,industrial, farming and vacant properties.

There will also be a variable charge, calcu-lated as a percentage of the capital improvedvalue of properties.

Treasurer Kim Wells says households andbusinesses in the state overall stand to be morethan $100 million a year better off.

Craigieburn Residents’ Association presidentErik Dober described it as a step in the rightdirection but said the cost of emergency servicesshould not fall on ratepayers. ‘‘Home ownershave been penalised for getting insurance,’’ hesaid. ‘‘Those who were not insured were able tofree-ride the system. No one minds paying theirfair share for essential emergency services. Butthe state government should manage its financesso that it can pay for essential services.’’

Spoke in the wheelfor Hume bike planBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

A STATE government decision to stopfunding for a metropolitan bicyclenetwork has left Hume’s plans for$8.3 million of cycling trails and walkingpaths in limbo.

Hume Council last week voted to findalternate funds for trails and pathsprojects after the government announcedit would not continue a metropolitan trailnetwork (MTN).

The council will support BicycleNetwork Victoria in its ‘Bring Back theBike Budget’ campaign to lobby thegovernment for funding to deliver cyclinginfrastructure.

On the loss of funding, Cr Drew Jessopsaid: ‘‘People need paths both for recre-ation and for commuting.

‘‘That’s why it’s disappointing to havethe state government withdraw a strategyand not contemplate a new one, and at thesame time withdraw funding.

‘‘There is some $8.3 million of projectsnow likely to be unfunded by any source.’’

Planned projects that now won’tproceed without newly sourced fundinginclude extending Broadmeadows ValleyTrail along Yuroke Creek to GreenvaleReservoir and extending Merri Creek Trailnorth from Barry Road to the Craigieburntownship.

Hume Bicycle Users Group (BUG)member Kevin Balaam said local cyclistswere ‘‘extremely concerned’’ that theMTN funding would not continue.

‘‘Hume BUG cyclists are bitterly disap-pointed that the MTN has not beenredeveloped to date. We appreciate thework and efforts of Cr Drew Jessop andthe council in assuring the design, fundingand completion of cycle paths through anew MTN. The development and fundingof these proposed paths would improvethe liveability of Hume city, attract visitingcyclists and improve the health and well-being of its citizens.’’

Walking the walkwith a loved brother

Join in: Michael and David Casha are preparing for the fund-raiser. Picture: Darren Howe

MICHAEL and David Casha are calling on Humeresidents to ‘‘see the person, not the disability’’ as theyprepare to join in a five-kilometre ‘Walk with Me’ fund-raiser this weekend.

The Craigieburn brothers will be at FederationSquare for the start of the walk. They’re encouragingable-bodied people to walk alongside one of the manypeople linked to disability service Scope, which hasorganised the event.

David Casha, 22, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy(CP) at age five. His brother Michael, 20, is both hiscarer and his best friend.

CP is a disability that results from damage to or dys-function of the developing brain. In Australia, it’s estim-ated a child is born with CP every 15 hours. It is themost common form of childhood physical disability,affecting about 34,000 Australians.

David’s condition means he can’t walk or communic-ate well.

Michael hopes to make people aware there is more toa person than a disability. ‘‘I look at my brother and seehow joyful he is. It’s important to see the person, not thedisability. People might not get to know him because ofhis disability. He barracks for Essendon, is passionateabout his footy and insists we watch games on TV. Heloves socialising and going out with people.’’

The brothers will be joined by other family members

and friends for the walk on which they hope to raise$750 for Scope. Last year, they raised $500.

Michael says his family tries to make life as normal aspossible for David. ‘‘He goes to a school in Eppingdesigned for adults with a disability. On weekends andholidays my mother and I look after him because mydad works full time. If you give them [the disabled] a bitof help to get involved in the community they can con-tribute; a lot of people can give back.’’

To donate or to join the walk, call Michael on0422 458 724. — Stephanie Zevenbergen

Fresh approach to sickly cityBY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN

‘To make a sustainedchange it takes a long time.’

— Ralph Audehm

HUME tops the state average for cancer, diabetesand mental health cases, a new report shows.

The Better Health Plan for the West outlinesplans to tackle different diseases in eight localgovernment areas in Melbourne’s west andnorth.

The plan is the result of collaboration betweenWestern Health, LeadWest, and Hume, Brim-bank, Melton, Hobsons Bay, Wyndham, Mari-byrnong, Moonee Valley and Mooraboolcouncils.

One of the main goals outlined is to educatepeople through workshops about better under-standing and managing of health issues.

Regional health literacy working groups willbe established under the guidance of supportservice HealthWest.

A western diversity advisory committee willlobby for state and federal governments fundingfor allied health professionals and for theadoption of a national e-health strategy.

In the plan, Hume is shown to have the highestrate of cancer in 2007 with 2.6 per cent of thepopulation diagnosed, compared with the stateaverage of 0.4 per cent.

Figures from 2008 show 19.2 per cent of

Hume’s population suffered from high levels ofpsychological distress. The state average was11.4 per cent.

Broadmeadows Dianella Community Healthclinical director Ralph Audehm said it was wellknown Hume had a lot of health issues and he

hoped the plan would have an impact. ‘‘I’d loveto say that this plan will change things. They’retalking about a multi-pronged attack, which Ithink is great,’’ he said.

‘‘But it’s going to take resources and oftenplans like this fall down because of resources.

‘‘To make a sustained change it takes a longtime.’’

Dr Audehm said the main reason for high casesof preventable disease such as type 2 diabetes inHume was because some residents were low-income earners and lacked access to good food.

Whether born with a disability or acquiring one, hundreds of Melburnians are sharing the national obsesssion with sport. And playing all the games we associate with able-bodied athletes is an option being increasingly taken up in the city’s north- west, as Tara Murray reports.

Willing Able

and

ROXBURGH Park’s Naz Erdim feared for his future after a diving accident left him a quadriplegic.

The thought of not ever playing sport again was the least of the then- 20-year-old’s concerns.

‘‘I wasn’t really sure and didn’t know what to expect. While I was in rehab they told me about different sports I could still play.

‘‘They told me about wheelchair rugby. Once I’d watched it, I really loved how they crashed and bashed on the court and were really good friends off the court.

‘‘Most people are confused when they fi rst see wheelchair rugby. They picture us on a rugby paddock. We play on a basketball court and it looks quiet dangerous.’’

Move forward 20 years and Erdim is com-peting in his fourth Paralympics in London.

‘‘It feels pretty good and it’s really special and we are looking forward to it, ’’he said before leaving.

‘‘We won silver in Sydney and Beijing and we’re pretty confi dent of going well in London.’’

As Erdim takes to the court in London, it’s also an opportunity to look at what sports are available for both physically and intel-lectually disabled people.

For most it’s not about competing at the top level; it’s about having the opportunities in the fi rst place.

‘‘A lot of the desire for sports is driven by the parents,’’ says Wyndham’s Access All Abilities community development offi cer, Wayne Slattery.

‘‘They will contact the YMCA or the council saying my child wants to play a particular sport. We then try and organise something.’’

Slattery says Wyndham is one of the better-equipped areas in Melbourne’s north-west with soft tennis ; light exercise groups; aqua aerobics; carpet, lawn and tenpin bowls; netball; basketball; dance; wheelchair darts; jujitsu and swimming all catered for.

‘‘The aim for us is to get them into mainstream sport and sometimes we have to make some modifi cations or some rule changes to make this happen.

‘‘We mentor the coaches and provide them with advice on how to work with the children who need more attention.’’

Slattery says wheelchair basketball adds another element to the opportunities avail-able.

‘‘Just say a teenager [in a wheelchair] is playing; his family can compete, too. They get in the wheelchair and it becomes a fam-ily thing

‘‘Over half of the people in our sessions are able-bodied.’’

The Australian Paralympic Committee’s manager of development and pathways, Tim Matthews, says his team also looks to include disabled sports people in main-stream sport.

‘‘We aim to include our athletes in main-stream sports where we can but you can’t always make it happen.

‘‘Our goal is to include people with a disability in the core business of sport. Seg-regating them, all it does is make it an issue in many cases ... there needs to be more work to include people with disabilities in sporting clubs.’’

The Macedon Basketball Association has been able to do that with its Access All Abilities’ group, in which 50 people are registered.

While they may not play an actual compe-tition, they still enjoy games and play a role on the association’s grand fi nal day.

‘‘We didn’t realise there was a need for a program like this until we were approached in 2008,’’ says Michael Grantham, who’s in charge of the program.

‘‘We ran a trial program in 2009 and the participants enjoyed it so much that we incorporated it in our regular basketball program.

‘‘The youngest person is 10 and the eldest 74 and there’s all ages in between.

‘‘Each week they have a skills session, fol-lowed by a half-court game.’’

Tennis Victoria has 24 clubs, with pro-grams for people with disabilities, including wheelchair tennis.

South Gisborne Tennis Club is the only club in Melbourne’s north-west to have such a program.

‘‘We’ve been running it for 12 years,’’ says coach Gail Scott.

‘‘We have the Sunbury Macedon Specialist School come down and Distinctive Options from Sunbury [provider of disability sup-port and training programs] has sessions every week.

‘‘We’re looking at expanding it more. We would eventually like to run a competi-tion.’’

Scott says funding given to them earlier this year means they’ll be able to cater for more people in wheelchairs.

‘‘We now have to carry them onto the court. We are just waiting for the right weather to install ramps and bigger doors so they’ll be able to play on our hard courts.’’

Western Australian-based Cricket Champs is another program looking to set up some-thing similar, with the chance for kids to move into mainstream teams.

Now with clubs in WA and New South Wales, Cricket Champs wants to expand into Victoria.

‘‘There’s very limited opportunities for kids with disabilities to play sport,’’ says Justin Sambell

‘‘Many parents are reluctant to enrol their kids in sport. Programs like this give them a chance to start playing sport then move into mainstream sport, which they mightn’t have thought was possible.’’

While there is a focus on trying to get disabled people into mainstream sports clubs, there are still many sports groups focusing just on people with disabilities.

The Special Olympics has started a Com-munity Sports Link program, designed for special schools and disability service provid-ers to get people involved in weekly sports training.

‘‘Part of my role is to facilitate this pro-gram and others north-west of Melbourne. This term, I’ve got eight schools I’m work-ing on with soccer,’’ says Lessey Hodgkin-son, who runs the program in Melbourne’s north-west

‘‘We try to get them into the routine of training once a week, try and get them into a competition with a Special Olympics feel about it.’’

It’s through the Special Olympics program that Helping Hoops has started running free basketball training sessions for intellectual-ity disabled children.

Having already established programs for disadvantaged youth, founder Adam Mc-Kay said they were asked to look at running skills sessions for intellectually disabled children.

They recently moved their north-west pro-gram from Footscray to Broadmeadows.

Sunbury Jets basketball coach Mike Spears is one of the coaches in the program.

‘‘When I started we had one program and Adam said I had one coaching job for you per week, and now we’re doing four programs, two to three hours a day,

‘‘This area needs it. We used to do it at VU, most of the players were from Ascot Vale and some out of Werribee, but since we’ve been relocated its starting brand new here.’’

Jets player Jay Boyle is also involved in the program and is looking at bringing it out to Sunbury, having already visited the Sunbury Macedon Specialist School.

Melton’s Riding for the Disabled Associa-tion is another program based in Mel-bourne’s north-west.

The centre, which attracts people from places including Melton, Sunbury, Gis-borne, Point Cook and Bacchus Marsh, caters for both intellectual and physically disabled people.

‘‘There’s very few children that can’t have the opportunity to participate and we cater for a range of disabilities,’’ says head coach and co-ordinator Margaret Behan.

‘‘We modify the equipment and supervi-sion. Some riders may need three volunteers and lots of supervision, where others will be able to ride by themselves eventually.’’

These meals need more wheels

Food for you: CarolPotts and CameronSaunders get readyfor their Meals onWheels run inRoxburgh Park.

Picture: Martina Gemmola

BY TARA MURRAY

HUME’S council-run Meals on Wheels programcontinues to grow, with volunteers visiting about230 clients, five days a week.

Co-ordinator Tilak Karunasekara said that whenthe program started 11⁄2 years ago, meals weredelivered to about 200 homes.

He said there were now 17 volunteers who trav-elled across Hume each week, and the council waslooking for more of them.

‘‘We try to have people deliver meals one day aweek; that way more people can volunteer,’’ he said.

‘‘There are a lot of young volunteers, includingquite a few uni students who keep coming back.’’

Last Friday was National Meals on Wheels Day,which recognised the thousands of volunteers whodeliver food to elderly residents.

‘‘We have four volunteers every day who travelfrom Sunbury and Bulla, through to Broadmeadows,Roxburgh Park, Greenvale and Craigieburn,’’ MrKarunasekara said.

‘‘Each person gets a three-course meal for theirlunches . . . on Fridays we deliver meals for theweekend, too.’’

Mr Karunasekara said Hume, which received itsmeals from Altona’s Community Kitchen, alsocatered for the dietary needs of those of Islamic faith.

Carol Potts and Cameron Saunders are among theprogram’s volunteers. Mr Saunders, of Glenroy,began delivering meals this year.

‘‘I needed to fill in time and I wanted to do somework for the community,’’ he said. ‘‘I enjoy it and

have met quite a few different people.’’Ms Potts, of Meadow Heights, also began

volunteering at the start of the year.‘‘The people are lovely and they like the

company,’’ she said.

Gotta petsloveKiller or Max? Don’t

let a pet’s name rise up and bite you

Shakespeare once wrote: ‘‘What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.’’ It seems that

now more than ever names are becoming very important, especially for pets. They appear to be just a s important as choosing the animal itself.

In the past, names were often chosen by the look or nature of the beloved cat or dog — Spot, Blacky or Fluffy — but now it seems pets are becoming more like an added child of the family, taking on human names, such as Max, Lucy, Charlie and Sam.

‘‘The more human names we give our pets, the more family-like a role they tend to play,’’ author of The Baby Name Wizard, Laura Wattenberg says.

‘‘These names lend a feeling of warmth and personal attachment to the pet.’’

Pop culture often inspires a puppy or kitten’s name with pet owners naming their new companions after movie or TV characters.

According to The Lost Dogs Home in Melbourne, names such as Bella (Twilight), Tigger (Winnie The Pooh and The Tigger Movie) and Charlie (Willie Wonker and the Chocolate Factory) are woofi ng and meowing their way to the top 10 popular dog and cat names.

fgSOME TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR PET’S NAME:

Pick a name that the pet can easily recognise. Animals respond better to one- or two-syllable names. Choose a name that’s both easy to pronounce and one you’re happy to call out. Shouting "Buddy" or "Max" in the park will be less embarrassing than calling out "Killer". Wait a few days to study your pet’s behaviour; this can help you pick the right name.

Furry bundles of cuteness need proper care

Gotta petsloveBy Carole Levy

There comes a time in nearly every parent’s life when kids utter these pleading words: ‘‘Can we have a

guinea pig?’’

These cute little rodents often become the number one choice as compensation for

not owning a larger pet, with parents viewing them as more manageable in terms of space,

ongoing care and fi nancial constraints.

But before introducing guinea pigs to the household, it’s a good idea to steer children towards research and planning. Some online checking will kick off the process, teaching the kids about what to expect, how to specifi cally care for guinea pigs and explaining the expense incurred in the purchase of necessary enclosure and accessories. This supports the notions

of valuing a new pet, reinforcing that they are not disposable and require long-term commitment.

Unless whipping up a homemade ‘house’, a proper cage (not wire-bottomed) is the fi rst consideration. Next is its placement. Guinea pigs are temperature sensitive, needing between 15 and 22 degrees, so cages have to be transportable to either sunshine or shade. Leaving them in full sun on a hot day can result in heatstroke and death within an hour. When nights become frosty, they need to be in a warm spot to avoid dangerous colds and pneumonia.

Daily diets are specifi c and include one cup of fresh vegies (not too-frequent lettuce or cabbage) or fruit, constantly replenished grass or

hay without chemicals, a handful of good quality grain mix (no seeds) and plenty of water. Strict herbivores, guinea pigs should never be fed meat, dairy or bread.

Kids need to be fi rmly taught about the gentle handling of their fragile new friends. Rough play or dropping them can result in not only physical injury but psychological stress that can lead to unusual biting or chewing. Also be aware of excessive handling — everyone needs a rest sometimes.

It can be fun for the kids to choose accessories to brighten up the pet’s environment, but guinea pigs don’t really play; however, they do like exploring. There’s no need to spend money on add-ons when things lying around the house will work: cardboard boxes, shredded newspaper, untreated wood logs, PVC pipes, fl eecy rugs, house bricks, large plastic plant pots with doorway cut out, homemade but sturdy ramps, small dog beds.

That’s about it, except for choosing names. Hubert and Paint were my grandchildren’s unusual picks.....

Tips to avoid abroken heart

By Rebecca Miller


Lost love: Ambulance co-ordinator Alisa Fisher cares for a kelpie.

When I was about 12, my younger sister Jody had a pet budgie, Bluey. He lived in a cage outside our back door until the day

she decided to take him out for a play. Bluey fl ew off and landed in the pine tree in our neighbour’s property. We called his name but he just fl ew away.

That was the last we saw of him – and Jody was heartbroken.

Many pet owners endure a similar sad and distressing time when they lose a pet. The lucky ones are found healthy; the others are gone forever.

The Lost Dogs’ Home general manager, fund-raising and communications, Kate Hoelter, says there are many ways to avoid losing a pet or to fi nd one that’s already missing.

‘‘Make sure the pet is identifi ed with a microchip and collar tag. By law, all Victorian dogs and cats over the age of three months must be micro-chipped. Owners must keep their contact details (contained in the microchip or on the collar tag) up to date for the best chance of being reunited with their pet.’’

KATE’S OTHER TIPS ARE:

Ensure the backyard is secure and the pet is stimulated with toys to keep them entertained and therefore less likely to want to escape

De-sex the pet to discourage them from wandering off

Exercise dogs regularly so they don’t get bored

Take care when there are thunderstorms or fi reworks. Take nervous dogs inside so they feel more secure and are less likely to fl ee in fright.

‘‘If a pet has gone missing, contact the local council fi rst,’’ Kate says. ‘‘Some can let you know if they have picked up your pet or they will redirect you to your local pound or shelter. The Lost Dogs’ Home provides owners with lots of helpful information about looking for missing pets.’’

The home covers most of Melbourne’s western and northern suburbs and city and bayside areas. They help re-unite about 23,000 lost pets every year Australia-wide.

Tarneit Gardens & The RiseDeveloper: Peet LimitedPrice: From $175,000Phone: 9868 5900Websites: peet.com.au/tarneitgardens; therise.com.au

Tarneit Gardens and The Rise are ideal for families orpeople who want a bit more room.

Two Peet communities in Melbourne’swestern growth corridor, Tarneit Gardensand The Rise, are offering large home sites

that are big on value.These home sites are some of the largest in the

district. There are 15 lots from 438 to 649 squaremetres and they’re priced between $175,000 and$210,000.

Peet Limited managing director Brendan Goresays it’s the last chance to own a big block inTarneit for less than $200,000.

“These home sites are perfect for growingfamilies or people who like a little more room,”he said.

Tarneit Gardens and The Rise provide a safe,comfortable lifestyle, he says, and there’s accessto landscaped neighbourhood parks, open spacesand sports facilities.

Peet’s Tarneit communities are in the thriving

city of Wyndham, 25 kilometres west ofMelbourne’s CBD.

The Princes Freeway provides quick access tothe city, while the beaches and seaside towns ofPort Phillip Bay are within easy reach.

Public transport will be bolstered by thegovernment’s Tarneit-link rail line.

“Wyndham is a city on the move,” Mr Goresaid. ‘‘The city expects its population to doubleover the next five years. Our estates are ideallyplaced to take advantage of that growth.”

Construction is also set to start on a newNeighbourhood Activity Centre at TarneitGardens, which will include a Woolworths aswell as specialist stores.

With a selection of schools close to both com-munities, families moving to Tarneit Gardensand The Rise can enjoy all the benefits of anestablished community.

Big on style, safety and economyEwan Kennedy and Derek Ogden road test the Hyundai i30

The new Hyundai i30: Moving forward in design and engine technology.

Designed for the European market atHyundai’s Technical Centre in Russels-heim, Germany, the new i30 takes on the

South Korean company’s ‘fluid sculpture’ stylewhich, it says, is inspired by nature and modernarchitecture. More practically, it gives the vehiclea slippery coefficient of friction of Cd 0.30, acornerstone of fuel economy.

Hyundai i30 gets straight to the point in thestyling stakes, with Hyundai’s signaturehexagonal radiator grille (chrome in thePremium test car we sampled), flanked by thelatest design HID xenon headlamps.

Sleek lines, offset by sculpted wheel archeshousing 17-inch alloy wheels, continue down theside of the vehicle, ending in a rear thatemphasises the vehicle’s wide stance.

The roof in the i30 Premium incorporates atwo-piece panoramic sunroof, the light fromwhich adds a feeling of space inside the cabin.A spoiler is positioned where the roof meets therear window.

The Hyundai i30, which comes in Active, Elite

and Premium variants, has been recognised as‘‘one of the safest in the small-car category’’ bythe Australasian New Car Assessment Program.

With room for five people, the Premium i30’scabin lives up to the model moniker with amodern mix of quality hard and soft surfaces.

Instruments are made easy to read with sports-style layout and blue back lighting.

The four-spoke steering wheel incorporates avariety of controls, including cruise control,audio and air-con.

The 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine has beenupdated to produce 10.6 per cent more power(94 kW) over the previous i30 and 3.4 per centreduction in combined highway/urban fuelconsumption.

At motorway speeds, the test i30 CRDi hadfuel consumption of 5.2 litres per 100km,increasing to about eight litres per 100km in hardstop-start traffic motoring.

The Hyundai i30 Premium 1.6 turbo-dieselsix-speed automatic sells for $32,590, plus on-roads.

Talented Eagles swoop on title

Title town: Craigieburn’s Kane McNamara and TrentRhodes with the Big V Basketball flag.

Picture: Marco De Luca

BY TEO PELLIZZERI

CRAIGIEBURN was celebrating hard last weekafter a team of home-grown talent captured theclub’s first-ever Big V Basketball men’s premier-ship by taking out division 2 last Sunday week.

The Eagles ran away from Keysborough atBonbeach Arena to win game three of the grandfinal series 85-68 to pull off the comeback andtake the title after losing game one on homecourt.

It was nearly a club double for the Eagles withthe team’s women also making the grand final inwomen’s division 1, only to be beaten in threegames by Warrnambool Mermaids.

‘‘Game two was a bit of a struggle and tight ontheir home court,’’ Trent Rhodes said.

‘‘We had a pretty bad loss in game one andwent back to the drawing board and that workedin game two.

‘‘A lot of players stepped up during games twoand three, we got a lot of support from ourcrowd who’ve followed us around all year.

‘‘It was intense, you couldn’t hear anything,teammates, ref’s whistle, the benches.

‘‘In the last quarter (Keysborough) got it backto five and were coming hard. Kane had a coupleof foul shots, got a couple of steals and the gamewas pretty much put away.

‘‘I’ve played since under-10 and a couple ofgrand finals, one in under-18 level, but this is thefirst in the senior group.

‘‘It was a bit surreal after the game, a lot totake in.’’

The finals race was a genuine five-teamstruggle for the minor premiership, with Keys-borough (14-6) finishing top from Craigieburn(14-6) while Melton, Horsham and Keilor all tiedon 13-and-7 with Keilor the unlucky teamsqueezed out of finals on head-to-head record.

Craigieburn defeated Melton in two games atthe semi-final stage.

Point-guard Miraflores was vital to Craigie-burn’s season, averaging 17 points per game.

A known player on the Big V scene, Mirafloreswas looking for a club in pre-season and didn’t

leave after arriving at Craigieburn. ‘‘He prettymuch just rocked up and was here to play,’’Rhodes said.

‘‘He was huge for us, him and Paul (Sianidis)who recently came across from (Hume City) whodropped down a couple of levels. He knew Den-nis (McNamara) coach who coached his youngerbrother.

‘‘Guards was probably something we’vestruggled with in the past and having two guys inthat position, they didn’t come off much, wecouldn’t afford to have them off the court.’’

McNamara’s father Dennis coached the men’steam.

‘‘He hasn’t been able to talk, tears in his eyesthe whole time,’’ Kane said.

‘‘From the start he pretty much knew we coulddo it.’’

Cragieburn’s women won game one and lost anarrow game two against Warrnambool beforethe title slipped away in game three.
