A land owner fears the value of his property will be slashed a�er an independent planning panel endorsed a plan to convert almost 500 hectares of rural land north of Craigieburn to an industrial precinct.

Craigieburn resident Claudio di Martino says the Craigieburn North Employment Area Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) will rob him of the ability to develop his own property.

“It’s like we’re snookered,” he said. “I wanted to develop it myself, but it can’t be done now.”

�e Metropolitan Planning Authority (MPA) appointed a two-person panel late last

‘Snookered’ on rural landyear to advise on an amendment to the Hume Planning Scheme that would help shape the development of 488 hectares in Craigieburn, Donnybrook and Kalkallo into industrial land and a conservation area along Merri Creek.

Despite unresolved issues with four a�ected landowners, a developer and the Merri Creek Management Committee, the panel rubber-stamped the blueprint, describing it as “well founded” and “strategically justi�ed”.

It means 49 properties covered by the plan will be rezoned from urban growth to industrial 1 zone for manufacturing use or be part of a conservation zone.

Mr di Martino wants the entire precinct

to be rezoned from Urban Growth Zone to residential zones. Failing that, he has suggested it could be a mixed-use zone to facilitate development of the land adjoining the Hume Highway into a motel precinct.

He argues that an industrial commercial zone is not feasible because there isn’t enough demand for industrial land in the northern growth corridor.

In response to Mr di Martino’s concerns, the panel said in its report: “�e best �nancial interests of individual landholders is not a factor that the Metropolitan Planning Authority, or indeed this panel, can or should take into account.

�e panel notes the MPA’s acknowledgement that the proposed zonings “do not accord with what some of the land owners want … the responsibility of the Metropolitan Planning Authority is to prepare PSPs which plan for land use outcomes across the whole of the growth corridor.”

MPA chief executive o�cer Peter Seamer said the panel’s report validated the MPA’s position.

Mr Seamer said the MPA would update the plan in line with the panel’s recommendations then provide it to Planning Minister Richard Wynne within two months.

Craigieburn Bowling Club president Darrel Cochrane is hopeful a new $1.8 million clubroom will lure more women to the sport.

Mr Cochrane says the male-to-female ratio of members is about 80 per cent men and 20 per cent women, “but we’re trying to change that”.

The president was joined by Hume mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou last week to open new clubrooms, which include a social room big enough to play carpet bowls in winter, a members’ room, a kitchen, bar and two verandahs.

Mr Cochrane says Craigieburn has 105 members and he expects that �gure to swell now the clubrooms are open, and as the suburb continues to grow.

The 70-year-old says the sport has served him well since he retired �ve years ago. “It helps keep you �t and outdoors soaking up the vitamin D.”

Australia’s �rst lawn bowls club started in 1846; now Victoria has more than 524 clubs.

Once dominated by retirees, the game has recently been taken up by younger generations.

Bowls Victoria has 850 registered members under the age of 20 on its books for the 2015-16 season and another 1200 members aged 20 to 30.

“We’re trying to get the community to take some kind of responsibility.”

She said a “remove it, lock it or lose it” campaign, encouraging drivers to look a�er their property and remove valuables from their cars, had been ongoing now for �ve years.

“I’ve been a crime prevention o�cer for two years and I feel like I’m banging my head against the wall,” she said.

Crime Statistics Agency �gures reveal that between October 2014 and September last year, 2309 the�s from car o�ences were recorded in Hume, a 14.5 per cent increase on the previous 12-month period.

By Alexandra Laskie

Police are urging Craigieburn residents to heed warnings and lock their cars a�er a spate of the�s from cars in the Highlands estate.

Hume crime prevention o�cer Jacqui Newman said about 100 cars were broken into and ransacked for valuables in the past month in Craigieburn.

“We’re talking upwards of 20 break-ins a week,” she said. “People are just walking along, checking to see whether cars are unlocked. �ey don’t discriminate between cars parked in driveways and those in the street.”

She said that despite ongoing police warnings to residents about the dangers of leaving cars unlocked, and letter-drops to that e�ect, car owners were not taking responsibility.

“A lot of people’s attitude is: why would I lock my car if they’re just going to smash my windows? But locking up is a deterrent,” she said.

Coins, sunglasses, navigation devices, laptops and iPads are also being le� in full view.

Leading Senior Constable Newman said cars le� unlocked were being ransacked, but locked cars with valuable items le� on display were being broken into as well.

Car security ‘still ignored’

�e health gap between north-west Melbourne’s indigenous and non- indigenous populations can be traced to birth, a new report states.

�e recently released Closing the Gap in North Western Melbourne Information Paper 2015 reveals the health issues Paper 2015 reveals the health issues Paper 2015facing Aboriginal people living in the city’s north and west can be traced from birth and early childhood right through to a premature death.

�e report, compiled by the North Western Melbourne Primary Care Network, says the warning signs show up in pregnancy, birth and hospitalisation �gures for infants and become clear during childhood in areas including mental health and disability.

Rates of chronic disease, mental and emotional health issues, and avoidable hospitalisations are much higher than non-Aboriginal people, the report states.

Melbourne Primary Care Network chief executive Christopher Carter said life expectancy for Aboriginal people was about 10 years lower than for non-Aboirginal Australians but many of the former were dying even younger.

“Aboriginal children are more likely to be hospitalised for assault,” he said. “Hospitalisations for family violence assaults are 34 times more likely for Aboriginal women and 28 times more likely for likely for Aboriginal men.”

He said the health status of Aboriginal people in the region was a�ected by a range of factors, including lower levels of education, employment and income.

Whittlesea council Aboriginal access and support o�cer Shontia Saluja- Honeysett said the report re�ected her experience working with Whittlesea’s Aboriginal residents, who make up 0.73 per cent of the municipality’s population.

“�ere’s a big health gap,” she said. “In our experience, a lower birth rate and early births impacts children later in life.”

She said many Aboriginal people did not access support services because of traumatic experiences in the past. In the 1960s, one of her aunties took her child to be treated at �e Alfred hospital only to be told to wait outside. She said her auntie’s baby died in her arms while she waited for non-Aboriginal people to be treated �rst. Ms Saluja-Honeysett said hospitals and support services needed Aboriginal sta� to help Aboriginal patients navigate the system.

Indigenous health gap starts from birth

Campbell�eld Heights Primary School is among 500 Victorian schools that will o�er free breakfasts to pupils this year thanks to a state government initiative.

Last Tuesday more than 20 pupils arrived at the Laurel Crescent school to enjoy a healthy, free breakfast before the bell tolled to signal the start of classes.

�e school is one of 173 o�ering a breakfast club for students from the start of the 2016 school year, while another 327 will follow suit before the year’s end.

School’s in for breakfast clubCampbell�eld Heights pupil Desmond, parent Jessica and her daughter, Ava, enjoy their breakfast session. (Damjan Janevski)

�e joint state government and Foodbank initiative is available at 18 primary schools in Hume and Whittlesea.

Campbell�eld Heights principal Jo Howard said Foodbank provided non-perishable food such as long-life milk and tinned fruit, which the school supplements with yoghurt, fresh milk and bread.

Campbell�eld Market co-owner Michael Unalan has o�ered to donate a box of fresh fruit to the school each week.

Ms Howard said a “breakfast club” was

convened on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and �ursdays and run by one of the pupils’ mothers. “For some of our families, breakfast is a glass of milk,” she said. “Breakfast club o�ers students banana splits with yoghurt, toast and fruit.” �e $13.7 million initiative was announced late last year following a report that revealed the signi�cant impact poverty and homelessness were having on schools unequipped to deal with the issue.

To be a frog in Bundoora is to be a well looked a�er amphibian.

A team of dedicated conservationists from Melbourne Water is cleaning up the habitat of frog populations living alongside the Plenty River in Coulstock Gully.

Greg Bain, who is the waterways manager for the north east region, said introduced species of invasive weeds, such a blackberry, English broom and African boxthorn, o�en outcompete native vegetation, and strip away the natural food and shelter sources of native frogs and wetland birds.

“Invasive weeds reduce habitat for frogs as

they (the frogs) are adapted to local native vegetation, such as Golden Wattle and Yellow Box,” he said.

His team is in the process of removing the weeds, which also provide shelter for feral pest animals, such as rabbits and foxes.

Once that’s done, the riverbed willbe replanted with indigenous varieties, including Golden Wattle, Yellow Box and Swamp Gum.

�ese works are also expected to help protect the creek banks from erosion.

Weeding is expected to take until March, and new vegetation will be planted in autumn.

Frogs �nd green friends

By Matt Crossman

A trial ban of smoking in the O’Shanassy Street restaurant precinct could be the �rst step towards a smoke-free Sunbury, a Hume councillor believes.

Sunbury-based councillor Jack Medcra� said the wheel of public opinion had turned and most residents would support bans on people lighting up in public areas.

‘‘�e fact is smoking kills people and passive smoking is a huge concern,’’ he said.

�e east side of O’Shanassy Street will be smoke free between Station and Brook streets for a year from April 4, a�er the council approved a proposal led by Sunbury Community Health (SCH), Sunbury Business Association and traders last week.

�ose who refuse to butt out will face �nes of up to $200.

A survey of more than 150 people last year found 88.5 per cent supported the trial ban.

Cr Medcra� said extending the ban across the town centre would be a big step, but the support was there.

‘‘We would cop �ak over it from some people … but the survey with the O’Shanassy Street proposal showed the community is saying that if you want to smoke, go to another spot. Enjoy your cigarette, but don’t share it with us.’’

Smoke free trial starts

Cr Medcra� said people regularly complained about high levels of smoking outside the town’s shopping centres.

‘‘�ey just want to be able to walk into a shopping centre and not have to go through a wall of smoke,’’ he said.

SCH’s ‘building healthy communities’ executive manager Bernie Hetherington has no doubt the trial will be successful.

‘‘We’re hopeful it will lead to permanent measures, which could include other areas,’’ she said.

Vic’s Food and Wine owner Vic Scerri expects the ban will have a positive e�ect on trade.

‘‘�ere’s nothing worse than trying to eat and getting a pu� of smoke in your face,’’ he said. ‘‘Customers are rapt they will be able to eat in a smoke-free environment.’’

Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou said council o�cers would continually evaluate the trial.

‘‘We’re keen to know what people think.’’

White-collar workers are �ocking to Whittlesea, according to a new report prepared by the council.

�e council’s latest Place Pro�le Report,which provides a demographic snapshot of the municipality using Australian Bureau of Statistics census 2011 statistics and household surveys, reveals that between 2006 and 2011 almost 4000 professionals moved into Whittlesea.

Brad Wynter, Whittlesea’s organisation improvement manager, oversaw the research behind the 2015 report and says the �ndings surprised him.

“We’re seeing a change in the municipality’s demographics,” he said.

“Traditionally, this has been a blue-collar area, but with the demise in manufacturing and expanding residential developments in Mernda and Doreen, change is afoot.”

According to the report, the most common occupations for residents are clerical or administrative work (16.4 per cent) and technician’s or trade work (16.2 per cent).

�e report reveals that almost 60 per cent of residents work outside Whittlesea, while seven out of 10 residents drive to work.

�e 2015 Annual Household Surveyindicates about one in six employed respondents have a daily combined average travel time for work of more than 90 minutes.

Collar colour change for city

By Alexandra Laskie

�e family behind a Donnybrook restaurant and cheese shop has o�ered to build a museum dedicated to the region’s history if the state government agrees to shi� a proposed town centre to align more closely with their existing businesses.

�e Monteleone family has made a submission to the proposed Donnybrook-Woodstock Precinct Structure Plan, a state government document that maps out 1786 hectares of land for proposed development into neighbourhoods.

New whey for town centreThe Monteleone family – Natina, Anthony, Caz and Caterina – wants a different location for a planned Donnybrook town centre. (Damjan Janevski)

�e family is requesting that a local town centre planned for the area be relocated from the north to the south side of their businesses.

Speaking on behalf of the family, Caz Monteleone said it made little sense positioning a small-scale town centre about 200-metres to the rear of their Monteleone Restaurant and Donnybrook Cheese shop, rather than directly to the south to align with Donnybrook Road.

“We have an existing cheese shop and restaurant that draws 400 to 500 visitors each weekend,” he said.

He said the family wanted to preserve the area’s indigenous and early settler history.

“We want to improve the heritage side of things,” he said. “We have a story to tell and a legacy to share.”

�e Monteleones migrated from Sicily to Donnybrook in 1968.

�e family’s submission is being considered by the Metropolitan Planning Authority, an independent state government body established to plan for the city’s growth.

Whittlesea planning and major projects director Steve O’Brien said the council had yet to consider the Monteleones’ submission. �e matter will be discussed at a council meeting on February 23.

Ask any parent what they want most from a childcare centre, and it invariably comes down to their child’s happiness and safety while there.

Of course, other things are important, too. Nicole Llewellyn, owner (and approved provider) of Kool Kidz at Mill Park, wants to show parents just how all essential elements come together at the new, state-of-the-art fun-learning-care hub for kids.

All will be revealed during its open day, 10am–4pm, on Saturday, March 5.

Parents can chat to Nicole and other early learning educators, while kids will be entertained by an animal farm, face-painting and other fun activities.

A tour of Kool Kidz’ indoor and outdoor spaces shows how much care has gone into the design. Safety, hygiene and fun go together here.

Educators are knowledgeable about young people (from eight weeks to � ve years), highly trained and carefully selected for their ability to enrich a child’s learning experience through play.

They are guided by the Kool Beginnings

curriculum-based education (numeracy, science, literacy, art expression and others). There’s also a kindergarten program to help a smooth transition to primary school.

And Kool Kidz has a higher than the industry minimum educator-to-children ratio – so any worries about a child not getting quality attention

can be laid to rest.

A quali� ed cook is also an integral part of the Kool Kidz team. Healthy eating is essential to every child’s development, so fresh, nutritionally balanced meals

are part of every day.

You can learn more by going to the centre’s website at www.koolkidzchildcare.com.au and by viewing their latest video, ‘The Kool Kidz Difference’.

Parents interested in enrolling their children at Mill Park can visit www.koolkidzmillpark.com.au.

A $50 million fund for high growth suburbs set up by the state government late last year is already paying dividends for Mill Park families. The Interface Growth Fund underwrites projects for 10 councils on Melbourne’s urban fringe, and has paid out $110,000 to Whittlesea council to give Grevillea Park a makeover. The park now has new children’s play equipment, including three slides, a swing set, climbing equipment and two spring rockers. Mayor Stevan Kozmevski said he was thrilled the council was able to secure the state government grant to rebuild the popular playground. Two other playgrounds were also funded; McMillan Run Park in South Morang received $110,000 as well as $95,000 from council, and Lalor’s Casey Drive Park received $80,000 from the council and $40,000 from the fund.

Chris French is most at ease with a paint brush in hand. The 19-year-old left Rosehill Secondary College in Niddrie in year 11 to pursue a career as a tradesman and has since found an outlet for his creativity as a painting and decorating student at Melbourne Polytechnic in Epping. Last week the Craigieburn teenager won the Victorian leg of a national competition that celebrates and encourages students completing apprenticeships for his Japanese-inspired mural of a koi �sh. “I love mural work,” he said. “I feel comfortable doing this and I enjoy the hands-on skills involved.” He will represent Melbourne in the painting and decorating category of the 2016 WorldSkills Australia National Competition at Melbourne Showgrounds in October.

You were an apprentice cabinetmaker before going back to high school to join the police force as a 19-year-old. What prompted this? I quickly decided cabinet-making wasn’t for me. I had an uncle in the police force, so I knew quite a bit about it through him, and I questioned him pretty heavily before joining. It’s pretty corny, but I’ve always liked the idea of being able to help people. And it was a good opportunity to have a career, rather than just a job.

What is it that motivates you to get up and go to work each morning?I love the fact that’s it’s a challenging work environment. I like to keep busy, and [I like] the variety of challenges that the Hume job has, as well as the people that you get to work with and meet during the course of the day.

Did outgoing Hume Inspector Lisa Hardeman impart any words of wisdom you can share with us?[Laughs] Lisa loved her time here and she was well respected by the community. I think it’s just a matter of keeping on top of the day-to-day work. And the big thing is working closely with our stakeholders, particularly Hume council, to make sure we get the best results for the community.

Where did you grow up and what do you like about the Hume area?I grew up in Braybrook in Melbourne’s west and have worked in the north west for the majority of my career, so I think I have a pretty good understanding of the issues and demographics of the area. I love the diverse

cultures – we recently had a great night out at the Hume Islamic Youth Centre.

What do you do outside of work hours?I like �shing in Port Phillip Bay. I get too tired now to do the things I used to love though [laughs]. I do enjoy taking trips with my family. I have two teenage daughters.

What qualities do you think make for the best police o�cers?I think if you stick to Victoria Police’s values – �exibility, leadership, respect, integrity, support and professionalism – on and o� duty, then you’ll do well.

You’ve been in this role for three months. Prior to this, where did you work?Predominantly in crime investigation. I have worked at various ranks at stations, including Moonee Ponds, Flemington, Coburg criminal investigation unit (CIU), Footscray CIU, Keilor Downs CIU, and have spent some time in the crime department. In 2010, I was seconded to the regional assistance mission to the Solomon Islands, where I worked as an advisor to the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force for two years.

What’s on the horizon now?I have a great team of police in Hume and look forward to continuing to provide a great policing service to the community. Priorities include a continued commitment to reducing incidents of family violence, reducing volume crimes, such as burglary and the� of and from motor cars, and reducing the incidence and impact of road trauma.

Ho Chi Minh City is certainly worth adding to your itinerary even if it’s just for a night to avoid spending several hours between �ights at the airport.

Also known by its pre-reuni�cation name of Saigon, Vietnam’s largest city has transformed itself into a 21st century Asian metropolis though there is still plenty of old-fashioned charm here, not least at the luxury Rex Hotel.

While there are heaps of great accommodation options in Saigon, it seemed a no-brainer to stay at the Rex, which for a �ve-star hotel provided incredible value.

For just $US165, we had an executive suite and access to the executive lounge for free a�ernoon tea and evening cocktails, free use of the hotel pool and gymnasium, and a bu�et breakfast. �e Rex is a Saigon institution, made famous during the Vietnam War (known as the American War in Vietnam) as a base for US military and foreign journalists.

Its roo�op bar hosted military press brie�ngs, which became known as the Five O’Clock Follies, and the name is used today for happy hour. �is was a great spot to spend an evening in Saigon, with excellent food and entertainment, which included a great guitar band playing old pop standards that got everyone singing along.

Take a long walk In the morning we took advantage of the hotel’s free bu�et breakfast before hitting the footpath to see the sights.

A lot of Saigon’s main attractions are within walking distance of each other, even in the heat of summer. Starting at the Rex we chose a route

that took in some of the sites including the nearby Saigon Opera House and the stunning Central Post O�ce. Completed in 1891 during French colonial rule, the grand building includes the central main hall that’s still a busy working post o�ce. �ere are plenty of reminders of a not-too-distant past before

One night in SaigonWith Vietnam becoming a resort holiday choice to rival �ailand, many travellers are using Ho Chi Minh City as a stopover rather than as a key destination, writes David Bonnici

email and mass communication, including the old wooden telephones boxes where you’d be patched through to foreign destinations. �ese still have clocks on top of them showing the times in di�erent parts of the world.

Next to the post o�ce is another example of stunning French-colonial architecture in the

form of the Notre-Dame Basilica. Constructed between 1863 and 1880, it resembles its Parisian namesake with two bell towers, albeit with spires, and a large round leadlight window under the central gable.

(Pictures: David Bonnici)

historical attractions in Vietnam, if not the world – the Independence Palace.

Also known as the Reuni�cation Palace, this is where the Vietnam War ended when two North Vietnamese Army tanks crashed through the gates during the Fall of Saigon in 1975. �e tanks are still there, preserved for prosperity, as is the building, which is now a time capsule from the era.

Built in 1966, it was meant to be the residence of the South Vietnamese president; it never housed a democratically elected president. During the war it was the domain of General Nguyen Van �ieu, who was the head of the military junta.

Today you can see the swanky conference rooms, cabinet chambers and ball rooms which hosted world leaders and ambassadors. Less glamorous but no less interesting are the war rooms in the basement �lled with old

communications equipment and maps. �e access is excellent and you can book organised tours or go around at your own pace, using the lea�et that comes with the entry fee.

�e leafy gardens behind the palace have an outdoor café, an excellent pit stop on a typically hot day.

Not too far away from the palace is the hectic Ben �anh market.

Make no mistake, this is a tourist trap with plenty of souvenirs and ‘original fake’ watches, but its historical signi�cance to the city makes it a must see. �e food area is more for locals and it’s fascinating to watch them go about their day even if sometimes you do cringe at the site of giant frogs or eels being chopped up alive. Outside the market is a giant roundabout with several lanes of tra�c, mostly motor scooters. Crossing one of the zebra crossings is an event in itself as tra�c doesn’t stop, it just

goes around you … though you don’t want to test this theory on any vehicle with four wheels.

Enjoy the viewOne of HCMC’s newest attractions is the Saigon Sky Deck, at the landmark Bitexo Financial Tower that was completed in 2010. Such is the growth of Saigon in recent years, the 68-storey skyscraper held the mantel of Vietnam’s tallest building for only a few months.

�e Skydeck on the 49th �oor a�ords incredible views of the city and surrounding areas including the busy Mekong River.

To die phoFor lunch we hopped in to a taxi for a highly recommended pho restaurant called Pho Hung, a few kilometres form the centre of town.

�ere’s a few stores with this name in Saigon, including a separate chain – this store is at

10 Nguyen �i Nghia, Q.1. We went on the recommendation of a Vietnamese Australian who makes a beeline for this place whenever he’s in town. �e tables were full of locals and it was �at-out busy, always a good sign.

�e pho menu is substantial. I settled for stock standard pho bo (beef), which had a lot more meat than most other serving elsewhere.

�e place is certainly not tight with the fresh herbs and condiments, and the service was very friendly. Despite our lack of Vietnamese, the waiter patiently helped us with our order and tactfully showed us how to eat pho like a local.

Needless to say it was delicious and, with a cold can of 333 beer (pronounced Ba Ba Ba), was the perfect refresher a�er a long morning of sightseeing in the tropical heat. A�er that it was back to the Rex to take advantage of the 4pm check-out before getting the taxi to the airport.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU


A�er �ve years and more than 1000 posts, it might be presumed that Consider �e Sauce has explored every noodle nook and curry cranny in Footscray Central.

Hasn’t happened.Not even close.For example: Dumplings & More is by now

a Hopkins Street veteran, yet it’s only very recently that we have ventured through its doorway to eat and enjoy.

And enjoy we did.Woks are used here but this is food – from

the north-eastern province of Liaoning – that is quite a long way removed from your regular Cantonese tucker.

�ere’s ample scope in the menu to accept all sorts of challenges, although quite a few of the dishes involve Chinese pickles of the sort I already know through experience are not really my “thing”.

�is place is about hardcore Asian dining – the service is �ne and smiling but there is not much English spoken here, so pointing at the required dishes is the go.

Ambience is bare-bones, cheap eats cafe style.

And the prices at Dumplings & More are very low.

Cucumber salad ($7) is a beaut and refreshing starter. It’s a little sweet, vinegary, a little spicy, garlicky and delicious.

Spicy chicken with peanuts ($13.80) is another winner, although I’m keener about it than my o�sider.

Kenny Weir �nds yet another dumpling paradise in Footscray

CONSIDER THE SAUCE

I love the way all the ingredients are chopped to uniform size and that those ingredients include celery and cucumber.

An order of the pan-fried lamb dumplings ($9.80 for 15 pieces) is very good, with the casings being alternatively crisp and a little doughy and the innards juicy and well seasoned.

�e crowning glory of our visit is the potato, eggplant and chilli ($13.80).

Seriously, Bennie has been talking about this dish regularly since we devoured it.

It is very, very oily – but that goes with such a dish and its method of preparation.

�e potato segments are browned yet still quite �rm. �ey’re just like roast spuds – and unlike anything potato we’ve ever before had in any kind of Asian restaurant.

Brilliant!�e eggplant is wondrously silky and luscious

and packed with aubergine �avour.�is is all the more impressive as all of it

is skin-free – yet it is the skin with which we normally associate high degrees of �avour in eggplant cooking.

To keep your home warm this winter, and reduce heating costs, don’t overlook the importance and bene�ts of insulation.

Archicentre Victorian state manager David Hallett says good quality insulation installed by a professional, reputable installer is the most important step people can take in saving energy costs and creating a comfortable environment in their homes.

“Ceiling insulation, wall insulation and �oor insulation is paramount to the energy-wise home experience,” he said. “Lining the roof, walls and �oor can reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.

“People now apprehensive about ceiling insulation shouldn’t be … they should just use a reputable installer and make themselves aware of the quality Australian-made products which can be safely used when installed properly.”

Mr Hallett said it was important, both environmentally and economically, to restore community con�dence in the insulation industry, installers and Australian manufacturers.

Some insulation points to consider when buying or building a home are the orientation of the home to maximise the northern aspect – where exposure to the sun is best controlled.

Eaves and pergolas can be precisely designed to block the summer sun and still allow the desirable winter sunshine to penetrate.

North-side deciduous trees that shade the house during summer will allow the sun prime access once they have lost their leaves in winter.

Materials with a high thermal mass, such as stone, brick or rammed earth, take a long time to heat up and a long time to cool down.

With their high thermal mass, concrete slabs can reap huge bene�ts from prolonged exposure

to the winter sun, radiating warmth at night when it’s needed most.

Glass is a very poor insulator, so for an energy ef�cient design, locate windows away from the western sun, and in some areas, the eastern sun.

Less grand ways to insulate include placing tight-�tting pelmets over curtains and close-�tting blinds to trap air and create a layer of insulation to reduce heat loss on winter nights.

Door and window seals can help, as can reversible ceiling fans that can push warm air down in winter.

Young Whittlesea Pacers star Jack Petruccelle will get the chance to test his basketball skills against the best in his age group from across the country.

�e 16-year-old guard is one of 10 players selected for the Vic Metro under-18 team to play in the Australian Junior Championships in April.

Selection in the team came as surprise to Petruccelle and his family – his mum was in tears when she found out.

Originally one of 150 at the tryouts, the Epping teen got down to the last 24, who then competed in the East Coast Challenge.

�e �nal Vic Metro team was selected a�er that event.

“I didn’t think I’d get in the team,” Petruccelle said last week.

“�e kids were amazing at the East Coast Challenge. I was a bit nervous to start with but I thought I did well in the tournament.

“But even if I’d been cut then, I’d have been happy to get that far.”

Petruccelle was selected in the state team for the �rst time, he got down to the �nal 50 in under-16s in 2014.

Petruccelle grew up playing both basketball and football but his love of basketball won out.

“I wanted to play basketball because my mate was playing,” he said.

“No one in my family had played the game before but I love everything about it.”

Petruccelle said two coaches had made a Jack Petruccelle is representing Vic Metro at the under-18 national championships. (Damjan Janevski)

Change of paceworks for Jack

real impact on his career. �e �rst was his �rst junior coach when he played at Bulleen, former Australian women’s and current England women’s coach Tom Maher.

“Tom was amazing and one of the best coaches I’ve played under,” he said.

“I look back now and see how good he was.”

�e second is his current Pacers Big V youth men’s coach, Paul Hughes.

Petruccelle said that when he was 12 he decided he wanted to move from Bulleen to Whittlesea so he could play with his mates.

Hughes pushed him to try out for the Pacers’ youth side last year, even though he was only 15 at the time.

�e move paid o�, with Petruccelle playing in the youth men’s division 1 premiership-winning team and was a �nalist in that division’s rookie of the year award.

“Paul has been really good and I’m blessed to have him as a coach,” he said.

“I thought last year I would be a development player, so the minutes I played were unbelievable.

“Paul is always positive and he tells me what I should be doing and encourages me with my game.

“To win a premiership and to be nominated for rookie of the year was amazing.

“I couldn’t have asked for more in my �rst Big V season.”

No one would blink an eye if Mick Strei�’s name was called out more than once at the Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows Cricket Club’s inaugural hall of fame ceremony on Sunday.

Having joined the club as a 15-year-old, Strei� remains an integral part of the club despite giving up playing about seven years ago.

�e club will name its greatest ever Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association �rsts, seconds, thirds and fourths sides, along with its best ever North West Metropolitan Cricket Association side.

Strei� is a contender for the club’s greatest seconds, thirds and fourths teams at the ceremony.

�e former bowler-turned-batsman, who took more than 360 wickets and made more than 3500 runs, has also been shortlisted to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Eleven past or present players and/or administrators will be inducted into the club’s hall of fame. Two of those inductees will also be accorded legend status.

In his own words, Strei� wasn’t a brilliant cricketer but played more than 270 games for the club.

“It probably shows how long I’ve been there,” he said of his nominations. “I came down with one of my mates when we were 15 and I’ve been here since – nearly 40 years later.

“It wasn’t a brilliant career. I was more a seconds and thirds player. I played about 20 games in the �rsts.”

Starting as a bowler, Strei� �nished his career as a batsman because of injury problems.

“�e last seven to eight years of my career I basically played as a batsman in the fourths,” he said. “I captained them and I managed to get a 100 and get the club record partnership [which still stands].

“It’s an achievement that I’m proud of. I was batting with a 15-year-old, Will Partington Gardner. By the end of the day I was tired from running all day with a 15-year-old.”

Strei�’s achievements don’t �nish on the �eld – he’s spent at least 35 years on the committee.

“You do put a lot of hours into the club,” he said. “Most of those years I was on the committee, I was president or secretary.

“�ere have been some really good times and other times we’ve been struggling to �eld sides. Seeing the side make a grand �nal like they did last year makes it worth it.”

Having spent so much time at the club, it was only natural that Strei�’s family would become involved.

His wife, Glenda, has made 100s of a�ernoon teas for the club, with Strei� saying he was “lucky she likes cricket”.

�eir son, Mitch, is a star allrounder in the senior team. He has been shortlisted for the club’s greatest �rst XI team.

Another hall of fame contender, Pas Sciulli, doesn’t think he played a game with Strei� but they have formed a friendship through their work o� �eld.

It’s Sciulli’s time as secretary and being one of the club’s most in�uential �gures in the merger of Roxburgh Park and Broadmeadows cricket clubs three years ago for which he will be remembered most.

“I like to think that I contributed to the survival of the club,” Sciulli said. “We were struggling for numbers and we were able to sort things out and get the merger going.

“�e �rst season we had six senior teams and 12 junior sides.”

Sciulli has also been shortlisted for greatest �rsts and seconds.

“It’s a great initiative of the club to have this ceremony and recognise long-serving members,” he said. “It’s a great honour to have been associated with the club for 25 years.”

Who are the Falcons’ �nest?On Sunday, Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows Cricket Club will hold its inaugural hall of fame ceremony. Tara Murray spoke to former players and committee members who could be among those honoured

Sciulli didn’t play junior cricket but came to the club through friends and never le�.

“I had played cricket at school, in the backyard and in the street,” he said.

A bowling allrounder who took nearly 200 wickets, he split most of his time between the �rsts and seconds before �nishing in the thirds. He played more than 200 games for club.

“It was good to play with some good friends in a serious competition,” he said. “It made all it worthwhile, to play in what is a �erce competition with your friends.”

Eric Ruuska, another former committee member, remains one of the greatest Falcons.

He is just one of three players at the club to have scored 3000 runs and taken 300 wickets.

His greatest honour was being named the 1998-99 Hatch medallist for the VSDCA’s best and fairest player.

He is the only Falcon to have won the award.Ruuska has been shortlisted for the club’s

greatest �rst XI.“I started at the club in under-16s and then

worked my way through to the senior side,” he said.

“I spent time at Essendon [in Premier Cricket] and then returned to the club.

“�e last couple of years, I’ve only �lled in due to work. I’m still passionate about the club.”

Ruuska remembers his 1998-99 Hatch Medal season as one that started well.

�at year he captured 36 wickets at an average of just under 10.

“It was a real good year and we won a lot of games up to Christmas and I obviously played all right,” he said.

“We missed out on �nals, though, a�er being on top of the ladder at the break. I didn’t expect to win the medal.

“I would have preferred to be playing in a grand �nal win. Now I’m not playing it’s nice to look back on.”

Ruuska, who is looking forward to catching up with teammates from over the past 30 years at the club’s event on Sunday, highlighted Mark Leehane as the best player he played with at the club.

Leehane averaged more than 40 in the �rst XI.

“�e best would have been Mark Leehane as he was the most consistent player,” Ruuska said.

“Steve Goodwin [club �rst XI leading wicket taker] was a good player and David Lawson was a very good wicketkeeper.”

To �nd out who has made the teams and inducted into the hall of fame, go to starweekly.com.au/sports next week.

Jody HutchinsonA former captain and coach at the club, he was also a Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association representative player. A talented cricketer, Hutchinson spent 10 years as an opening bowler for Premier Cricket side Essendon. He is shortlisted for the club’s greatest �rst XI.

Mitch StreiffThe only present �rst XI player to be shortlisted for the Falcons’ greatest �rst XI. This season, the allrounder is averaging more than 40 with the bat and has taken 18 wickets.

John KulikowskiNow playing with Epping in the Diamond Valley Cricket Association, Kuilkowski made his name with Roxburgh Park when the club played in the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association. He continued with the club after the merger with Broadmeadows. He was Roxburgh Park’s club champion in the 2008-09 season. He has been shortlisted for the club’s best NWMCA team and hall of fame.

Last time Whittlesea was promoted to division 1 of the Northern Football League, they went straight back down.

�at was in 2014. �is time around, the Eagles are keen to make sure that they don’t make the same mistakes

Back in the top division a�er beating Lalor in the division 2 grand �nal last year, the Eagles are using the hurt of 2014 to spur them on.

“We speak about it a lot,” coach Jim Atkins said. “Whatever we did last time round didn’t work. We have to improve to stay up. Fitness is the number one key, while we need to be cleaner with the ball. E�ciency cost us.”

Atkins said the club had been working hard to make sure it could take the steps needed to match it with the division 1 sides.

“We’ve been practising a lot to ensure we have better e�ciency,” he said. “Bad decisions at crucial times would cost a goal and the game in 2014.

“�e experience of the group will, we hope, help with that as well. Most have played 50, 60 to 100 games now.“

Keeping most of their list was the �rst thing for new coach Atkins. He replaced Brad Dean, who stood down a�er winning the premiership.

“Our number one priority was to keep the list from last year,” Atkins said. “We want to build from there. Last time we went up to division 1 we lost players and had to add to the list.”

Former AFL player Justin Sherman has joined the club as a playing assistant coach, while former captain Roy Dyson and 2012 premiership player Luke Deards has returned to the Eagles.

“Having these blokes at the club will be good for the group,” Atkins said.

“Guys like Justin and Roy have a lot of experience and they step up when the game is on the line.

“Justin has played under Leigh Matthews and Rodney Eade and he has been fantastic to listen to.”

But Whittlesea may be without reigning best and fairest winner Matt Dornauf for most of the season.

“He was invited to train with Essendon VFL and from all reports is doing really well there,” Atkins said.

“It’s a reward for the hard work he has been doing. He won our best and fairest last year by a mile.

“I hope he gets the opportunity.”Whittlesea kicks o� its season against West

Preston Lakeside on April 9.

Warriors grab title with �nal ballBy Tara Murray

It took Lalor Warriors until the last ball of the match in the Northern Region T20 grand �nal to secure its �rst premiership in the competition.

A�er struggling with the bat to make only 9-99, the Warriors were in trouble when Plenty had reached 4-70 and needed well below a run a ball to win.

But the wicket of Daniel Sartori, the only batsman of either side to get going, turned the game back in the Warriors’ favour.

In the end, Plenty needed six runs from the �nal ball to win but could manage only four to give Lalor victory by one run.

Warriors captain Todd Hughes said it was good to �nally add more silverware to the cabinet, as the club’s last senior premiership

was the North Metro Cricket Association’s Jika Shield in the 2009-10 season.

“It was a good win for the club,” Hughes said.“Obviously the T20 competition isn’t the

main aim of the season, but it’s good for the club and it’s good to see the smiles when you win.”

Hughes said that despite his side’s struggles with the bat they were always still in with a chance.

“It was the type of pitch where you needed time to get set,” Hughes said. “You needed 20

to 30 balls to settle. Scoring from ball one was hard and it was a di�cult pitch to score runs on.”

For a second straight T20 match, Nick Christie top-scored for the Warriors, this time with 26. He was the only Warriors player to pass 20.

�e Warriors got o� to a perfect start with the ball before Sartori played his part.

“In the �rst over we picked up two wickets and we were con�dent,” Hughes said.

“�ey needed 25 or 26 o� the last seven overs and were cruising. Sartori hit a top edge which went straight to our �elder on the boundary. �ey collapsed a�er that.

“All our bowlers did the job, Aaron [Wheatley], Brad [Winther] and Jae [Delcus] bowled very well and didn’t give them any width.”

Delcus took three wickets while Winther grabbed two.

�e Warriors’ good form continued into Saturday, when they beat Darebin Chargers outright in the NMCA.

A�er a commanding day one in which they made 6-312, the Warriors bowled out the Chargers for 162 and 33 to win by 117 runs.

Jae Delcus took 4-11 in the second innings, and three other bowlers each took two wickets.

�e outright win keeps the Warriors third on the ladder, two points behind second-placed Northcote United.

Ladder leaders Rivergum su�ered a �rst loss of the season.

A�er Rivergum made 154 on day one of the match, North Brunswick/Rosebank passed the total easily to reach 7-225.

Rivergum was 0-12 in its second innings.

Big VHume City Broncos have been dealt a blow in the lead-up to the men’s Big V state championship season, losing star recruit Neil Mottram. The club announced last week that Mottram, who won gold as part of the Australian team at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, won’t play for the team this season after gaining work with the Indonesian Olympic team.

SoccerBroadmeadows-based club Northern United has withdrawn from the upcoming FFV state league season. The club, which would have competed in state league 4 north, announced the decision on its Facebook page last week. “Due to unforeseen circumstances the club has made the decision not to �eld any team,” the club said. The club said it would review its future at the end of the year. United’s withdrawal means Carey EFC will compete in state league 4 north.

EDFLThe Essendon District Football League will play Goulburn Valley Football League in two interleague matches. With senior teams from each league facing off on May 21, the leagues announced last week there would be an under-18 game before the senior match. EDFL general manager Marc Turri views the under-18 game as the ideal curtain-raiser. “With the under-18s match a strong feature of the championships in the past, the Essendon District Football League is delighted to embrace the full concept of the championships with seniors and under-18s,” he said

Premier CricketGreenvale Kangaroos are in a good position after day one of their Victorian Premier Cricket match against Geelong. Sent in to bat, the Kangaroos got contributions from every batsman. All the Kangaroos made double �gures. Captain Kyle Adams was the standout contributor in the Kangaroos’ total of 9-286. Batting at No.9, Adams �nished the day on 71 not out. The last-wicket partnership, an unbeaten 63 with Trent Waring (11no) was the biggest of the innings.
