Road figures fudged: Guy By Benjamin Millar The state government has been caught out fudging figures on the cost of the West Gate Distributor, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has claimed. Labor entered the state election promising to take 5000 trucks a day off the West Gate Bridge by building the West Gate Distributor and adding extra lanes to the West Gate Freeway. The party’s Project 10,000 document estimated the total project cost at $400-$500million, but Roads Minister Luke

Donnellan now argues this figure didn’t include the $180 million needed for the extra freeway lanes between the Western Ring Road and Williamstown Road. Mr Donnellan said the $680 million figure given to the federal government in an infrastructure wishlist was an “aspirational” sum beyond the distributor project’s original scope. “There was an aspirational hope that there would be extra lanes on the West Gate and that was put in the document, but the actual costings for the West Gate Distributor were

between $400-500 million and the extra lanes on the West Gate were $180 million,” he said. “This is about a federal government that wants to get its face off the front pages, playing mean, tricky and stupid games.” But Mr Guy said the $680 million figure exposes a $180 million black hole before construction work has even begun on a project first estimated, in 2010, to cost $350 million. “They made it very clear in their Project 10,000 policy document that they intended to add lanes to the freeway that they’re now saying was an afterthought,” Mr Guy said.

“Daniel Andrews claimed this was a ‘shovel-ready’ project, but there’s been a massive cost blow-out without a shovel in sight.” Williamstown resident Barbara Anderson questioned the need for a second toll road when vehicles already exit at Williamstown Road on a ‘rat-run’ to avoid CityLink tolls. “What’s the use of putting another one in if they’re not going to attract everyone who wants to get to the docks?” The Maribyrnong Truck Action Group and trucking industry have welcomed the distributor project, due to be completed in 2017.

We recommend you view the concept plans at www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au/ jackmadigannreserve. Initial works to the reserve, named after the former Mayor of Williamstown, began in July 2014 when the concrete tank was demolished and the soil compacted. Feedback can be provided by 11 February.

Station Road truck ban Alterations to the roundabout at the corner of Melbourne Road and Ferguson

Wetlands Ward

Street are scheduled to begin on 16 February. The work will take place in two phases. In phase one, the roundabout will be tapered to allow larger trucks to negotiate the turn. This alteration will help to manage any increased truck traffic resulting from enforcement of the Station Road truck ban. Topsoil will be laid at the end of this stage in readiness for phase two, the planting of an Edwardian inspired, contemporary succulent garden.

Vernon Street Shopping Strip improvements The Vernon Street shopping precinct between Brunel and Aloha Streets is getting a makeover. So far sections of

paving have been removed to make way for the new concrete kerbing, feature paving, and garden beds. There’ll also be a number of Chinese elms (Ulmus parvifolia) planted on the shopping side of the street, and ornamental plums (Prunus x blireana) on the residential side. Council officers have met with local residents and traders throughout the early stages of the works to discuss some concerns about access to driveways and for delivery vehicles. Subsequent amendments have been made to the design to improve access to the satisfaction of traders and residents. All things going to plan, resurfacing of the road will follow and the full upgrade will be complete by the end of April.

We’re proposing to revitalise the busy Railway Avenue precinct from High Street to Grace Street with extensive planting of new street trees on both sides. Other improvements include a full upgrade of the pedestrian area of the shopping strip near Donald Street with new paving, furniture, trees and garden bed planting, expected to begin in June.

Dumped ‘religious items’ spark furore Two men who reportedly dumped a garbage bag in a western suburbs’ creek last week, claiming it was for religious reasons, have caused a community uproar. A Facebook user posted on an Altona page that her son interrupted the pair dumping a bag in Skeleton Creek, which runs through Point Cook and Altona Meadows before flowing into Port Phillip Bay and is a creek of Aboriginal spiritual significance. She said her son took a photo of the men’s car, which prompted them to retrieve the bag before they followed her son to the family home. The men showed them the contents

of their bag – ash, brass candle holders, wax, boxes and packaging – and tried to justify their actions, saying it was a requirement of their Hindu faith. “The two men said the contents of the bag were items used in a religious event and had to be put into water,” the Facebook user said. “[My family member] informed him, ‘not in any waterway of Australia was this acceptable’. “If Hindus must dispose of their religious items in water, then hire a container and send the bloody stuff back to the Ganges and leave our creeks, rivers and oceans alone.”

But a Hindu community leader described the men’s actions as “really strange” and their claims as inaccurate. Hindu Community Council of Victoria general secretary Bhakta Dasa said it was extremely rare that an item had to be discarded for religious reasons. And, he said, this could be done in an environmentally-friendly and lawful manner. “As far as the actual injunction is concerned in Hindu scriptures, it’s only very, very sacred items … like, say, for example, a deity or an icon,” Mr Dasa said.

“But that doesn’t include candles or boxes or anything like that. It’s only when it’s a religious icon like a statue of one of the demi-gods or gods. “It would happen once in a century perhaps or very, very rarely. It’s not that you would discard an icon whimsically,” Mr Dasa said. “I’m part of an executive of a major temple here in Melbourne and we have things that have to be discarded at times, but we do it in a way that’s actually environmentally friendly and conducive with our society here.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Bans ease roar nerves By Benjamin Millar Parents and residents have welcomed new truck bans in Yarraville and Footscray but are seeking more action to take trucks off residential streets. New curfews in effect from last Thursday ban trucks from Yarraville’s Somerville Road during school crossing hours and from Footscray’s Moore Street overnight. Exemptions remain for trucks on “local business”, but the bans are expected to almost halve truck trips during curfew times. Maribyrnong Truck Action Group president Samantha McArthur praised Maribyrnong council’s lobbying and the Victorian Transport

Association’s ability to compromise, but warned that other inner-west streets would see an increase in truck numbers as a result of the new curfews. “The City of Maribyrnong will still see 21,000 trucks per day on residential streets,” she said. Less Trucks for Moore’s Scott Adams said the overnight ban on Moore Street followed a 400 per cent increase in night-time truck traffic in recent years. The curfews were announced late last year by the then-Coalition government and are being supported by a VicRoads enforcement blitz. Launching the new curfews in Yarraville on Thursday, Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said

HUGE SAVINGS on Brivis evaporative coolers

the next step in tackling inner-west truck traffic would be building the West Gate Distributor. “It’s very much about delivering what the community wants, which is less trucks on our roads, especially during school hours,” he said, Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said the state government would do all in its power, including further bans, to move freight traffic from local streets to the completed distributor. Footscray MP Marsha Thomson said the curfews should make a real difference to residents. “At last the residents in Moore Street should get some relief with 400 fewer trucks in Moore Street every night,” she said.

Trucks should be banned from Footscray’s Napier Street in the wake of another disruptive crash into the railway bridge, local police say. Werribee and Williamstown train lines suffered extensive delays and traffic chaos clogged busy roads last Wednesday night after a shipping container toppled from an over-height truck that crashed into the Napier Street bridge. The four-metre rail overpass has been struck at least 25 times since 2010. Footscray police’s Inspector Tony Long said too many drivers were failing to heed the warning signs, risking collision and fines of about $900. “We have had a number of discussions with VicRoads and have tried to put forward the view that it needs to be cut out as a truck route,” he said. “But there has never been any real impetus from the other authorities to take this on board.” Following two serious crashes last November, Maribyrnong mayor Nam Quach called for VicRoads to take action before someone lost their life. “Something needs to be done before a pedestrian is killed by a shipping container,” he said. VicRoads regional director Adam Maguire said drivers needed to be aware of height limits. “VicRoads will work with Maribyrnong council, the Port of Melbourne and Victorian Transport Association to address driver behaviour issues and height restriction awareness, particularly for trucks leaving the port.” He said VicRoads would audit all truck-related signage and consider improving height detection signs and realigning bridge crash barriers.

Speedster blames call of nature By Goya Dmytryshchak and Benjamin Millar Police detected 89 driving offences in Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong as part of Operation Amity over the Australia Day weekend, with one driver giving an unusual excuse for travelling at more than double the speed limit. Hobsons Bay highway patrol officers clocked a car travelling at 136km/h in a 60km/h section of Central Avenue, Altona Meadows, on Australia Day eve. Leading Senior Constable Norman Macdonald said the driver was intercepted as he turned right into Merton Street.

“His excuse was, ‘I was dying for a shit’. We actually escorted him home and had him leave the car out the front in the street and he was allowed to go to the toilet,” he said of the 36-year-old Altona Meadows man. “But he’d already passed several service stations, even McDonald’s down there; he could have stopped at any one of them and gone to the toilet. “Mind you, I suppose everybody feels more comfortable in their own toilet, but that’s no reason to be doing 136.” Hobsons Bay police detected seven speeding offences, 10 unregistered vehicles, two drink-drivers, six unlicensed drivers, four drivers who were disqualified or

suspended, two mobile phone offences, two drivers disobeying signs or signals and one seatbelt offence. Two vehicles were impounded. No drug offences were detected in Hobsons Bay or Maribyrnong, with highway patrol members not yet qualified to administer the oral fluid test. “We haven’t been trained as yet, but we’re expecting to be soon because up until now it’s always been booze buses doing

it,” Leading Senior Constable Macdonald said. “But if we feel that a person is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, we can still ask them to come back and we get somebody out to do a drug impairment test.” Footscray’s Inspector Tony Long said the operation delivered a mixed bag of results. “Firstly, the great news is that we have managed to complete the period without any fatalities – none here in Maribyrnong nor anywhere else in Victoria, which is a sensational result,” he said. “On the down side, our focused efforts saw three people charged with alcohol-related driving offences, which is disgraceful. The risk is not worth it.”

On even playing fields the St Kilda Football Club coming along to support the day,” he said. The session was designed to give people a flavour of what Melbourne’s GLBTIQ sports clubs have to offer. The Western Foxes Gridiron club hosted a “give it a go” session and Basketball Victoria and Netball Victoria ran sessions for people interested in setting up teams.

Call to stymie more pokies An average of about $6000 an hour was lost at the pokies in Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay in the six months to December. Latest figures from the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation reveal $27.6 million was fed into Maribyrnong’s 415 machines, a modest drop from the 2013-14 figure of $27.7 million. Hobsons Bay gamblers lost $24.25 million on 596 machines, down from $24.8 million. Chairman of the Victorian InterChurch Gambling Taskforce, Mark Zirnsak, is calling for machines to be restricted to allow losses of only $1 per button push and for gaming venues to close from midnight to 10am. He said venue operators sought to place machines where they could make the most profit, which had resulted in machines concentrated in areas with higher concentrations of vulnerable people. Dr Zirnsak said the taskforce believed local councils should have the ability to reject increases in machine numbers and refuse to allow machines to be placed elsewhere if a venue closed or reduced the number of machines. “It gives greater respect to the local community’s wishes and means venues must persuade the community that there are benefits from pokies and that the level of harm is acceptable,” he said.

Three former pokies venues in Maribyrnong have either closed or no longer have gaming machines. In Maribyrnong, the highest losses were at the Yarraville Club Cricket Club ($7 million), which is open to 3am, followed by Braybrook’s Ashley Hotel ($4.9 million), open to 5am, and Highpoint Taverner ($3.6 million), open to 2am.

Millers Inn Hotel in Altona North, open to 5am, recorded the highest revenue in Hobsons Bay ($7.1 million) followed by Seagulls Nest at Newport ($3.6 million), open to 3am. Club Laverton was third on the list with $3 million. Last year, Hobsons Bay council refused to grant Carlton Football Club a permit to extend the opening hours of Club Laverton to 3am. Hobsons Bay’s then-deputy mayor Colleen Gates said extended hours were inconsistent with the council’s planning policies, which aim to prevent alcohol and gambling-related issues. She said people could travel a short distance to Wyndham hotels, which had longer opening hours.

The men broke into a storage area between midday and 2pm on January 15, making off with a morbid haul valued at about $34,000. Maribyrnong police inspector Tony Long said it was one of the most bizarre crimes he had come across. He said the pair had been seen in the area with a small truck. Both men are believed to be Caucasian, with one in his late 20s, the other in his mid-to-late 30s. If you have information, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

West’s house prices surging By Goya Dmytryshchak and Benjamin Millar House prices rose in the suburbs of Kingsville, Maribyrnong, Altona and Williamstown in the December quarter but unit prices fell, according to REIV figures. Altona’s median house price of $750,000 was up 8 per cent on the September quarter, while its median unit price of $490,000 was down 15.5 per cent. Kingsville was Maribyrnong’s star performer for house sales, the median rising 12 per cent to $750,000.

Maribyrnong rose 10.5 per cent to $842,500, Footscray jumped 8 per cent to $672,500, and Seddon rose 5 per cent to $751,000. Maidstone dropped 13 per cent to $583,500 and Braybrook shed 10 per cent to $502,500. Maidstone’s poor house showing was reversed with a 19 per cent rise in the unit median to $524,750. Maribyrnong median unit prices were up 9 per cent to $460,000, Kingsville remained steady at $335,000, West Footscray prices shed 4 per cent to $335,000, and Footscray dropped almost 2 per cent to $382,000.

The focus on the west … is the strongest it’s ever - Peter Weaver been

’’

Peter Weaver, of Barlow McEwan Tribe First National of Altona, said affordability was becoming more of an issue. “The focus on the west side of Melbourne is the strongest it’s ever been and will only increase … every time they build another house in Wyndham or further west of

Melbourne, the values in Altona will only increase,” he said. Williamstown’s median house price rose 12.5 per cent to $955,000, while the suburb’s median unit price fell 13 per cent to $472,000. The unit median was based on less than 25 sales. Hocking Stuart Williamstown director Joanne Royston said units remained a rarity in Williamstown. Newport bucked trends, with the house median falling 3.5 per cent to $703,000 and the unit median climbing 11 per cent to $630,000.

Nab the paw-fect prize All pooches great and small are urged to put their best paw forward for this month’s Yarraville Festival Dog and Pet Fashion Parade. Yarraville Village Animal Hospital veterinarian Dr Rhonda Dunmill said the popular parade and events offered trophies, a cash prize and gift vouchers and products from local traders. “The prizes are bigger than ever this year,” she said. Dr Dunmill is hoping to see “the craziest and most imaginatively dressed animals, and even their owners” steal the limelight. Comedian, musician and author Rusty Berther will MC this year’s event at 11am on Sunday, February 15. Enter at yarraville. villagevet@hotmail.com or phone 9689 8100. Benjamin Millar

Riding to ‘hell’ and back

Achtung Baby

Just nine months after bone surgery on both feet, an Altona woman has completed a bicycle feat equivalent to scaling Mount Everest. Leah MacGibbon completed a challenge known as Everesting, a global phenomenon with fewer than 300 successful attempts worldwide. She did it by riding her bike up Mount Wallace, west of Melbourne – not once but 64 times, starting at 4.45am and finishing the next day at 2am. Everesting was founded by George Mallory, grandson of his namesake, who is believed to have been the first person to successfully climb Mount Everest. The criteria for Everesting is to notch a minimum ascent of 8848 vertical metres – the altitude of Mount Everest – in a single ride. Ms MacGibbon also claimed a place in history by being the first known cyclist to have everested her particular mountain. “It is one of the toughest climbs around and forms part of the race called, Hell of the West,” she said. “Many blokes are known to get off their bike and walk it, it is that steep … and I had to do it 64 times. “It is short and tough – a bit like me. This was going to be my climb.” Ms MacGibbon said she loved a challenge and believed people could do anything they set their minds to. “I’ve only been back about four months after having bone surgery on both feet in April,” she said. “I prepared by riding mountains: Mount Buller, the Alpine climbs (Falls, Hotham, Buffalo), and the Brisbane Ranges (Anakie through the Stieglitz historical town to Meredith).

“When I hear myself say: ‘I don’t mind if you fail as long as you give it a go’, I know deep down that I can do it, and trust my gut. “That, coupled with an unbreakable cameraderie and encouragement from riding friends, gives me strength to keep going. I heard one friend, Les Voros, say: ‘She will do it,

just keep her legs ticking over’. This played on my mind throughout the day and night. “I am also an animal advocate and I think a lot about factory farm animals suffering. A little pain for a climb is nothing compared to what they endure every second of every day.” Her next goal is to ride around Australia.

Second bite for Sirens By Goya Dmytryshchak An iconic Williamstown restaurant that went into liquidation to repay a tax debt, unpaid creditors and workers’ wages has reopened with a different name and new owners. Sirens closed after the Australian Tax Office petitioned the Supreme Court for the restaurant to be sold to recoup unpaid taxes from the restaurant’s parent company, Sarah Georgiou. The beachfront venue on the Esplanade has reopened as Shellys Beach Pavilion, boasting a new, full menu since last weekend and daily seafood-inspired specials. As reported by Star Weekly in October, liquidator David Vasudevan said Sirens had closed because it “wasn’t generating sufficient money to meet existing commitments”. “It was certainly a loss-making business when we walked in,” he said at the time. Head chef Steve Jang, who hails from Bluestone Grill and now heads Shellys, is optimistic about the new venture. Together with chef Yumi Komoda, who worked at Nobu, Mr Jang said he had designed a “unique and exciting” menu. “We will ensure customer service is of a high standard at all times,” he said. “We have employed local staff who are very skilled. “We will be operating a Friday, Saturday and Sunday breakfast menu, and intend to have a jazz/acoustic theme Friday and Saturday nights.” Asked why they didn’t keep the iconic Sirens name, Mr Jang said: “We didn’t keep the name because we wanted to do something new and innovative for the local residents while preserving the heritage of the venue. Hence the name, after Shellys beach, which is neighboring to the venue.”

Rapist guilty of repeat offence A truck driver who abducted and sexually abused three women had built a “raping machine” in a bus he had converted into a home, a court has heard. Serial rapist Dennis Newall, 56, placed his terrified victims on the home-made, crucifix-shaped machine before raping them. The father of four used his son to help him abduct two of the women and take them to a converted bus in a Brooklyn industrial estate. Newall pleaded guilty in the County Court on Thursday to kidnapping and raping two sex workers between November and December, 2001. He had been jailed in 2002 for eight years for kidnapping and raping another sex worker, but the other two victims only recently came forward to police. The court was told that Newall and an unidentified man abducted one of the victims, who was 27 at the time, from St Kilda in November, 2001. The second victim was a 20-year-old sex worker when Newall and his son, Aaron grabbed her in St Kilda and took her to Brooklyn. The victim said that when she was taken into the bus, Newall became psychotic and the pain he inflicted on her had been unbearable. The court was told Aaron had received a suspended six-month jail term in December after pleading guilty to his role in kidnapping the second victim. Newall will be sentenced at a later date.

Tricky for teachers, too The focus at Braybrook College this week may be on the 280 nervous youngsters starting year 7, but spare a thought for the eight graduate teachers also fronting their first classes. The 1350-student school has welcomed fresh university leavers to teach subjects including literacy, science, humanities and physical eduation. They are among 2500 graduates across the state starting new roles. Molly Richardson, 24, said she was excited to teach year 9 English and assist the years 7 and 8 literacy programs. “I got into teaching because I wanted to come from a holistic, nurturing place and make a positive change to schools,” Miss Richardson said. “I’m so relieved that the staff are so supportive and ready to help us grow as teachers.”

The college is supporting the graduate teachers through a mentoring program, where new staff meet once a week with a leading teacher and a mentor. Footscray resident Ben Ladbrook will be taking physical education and health classes for years 7 to 10. “Unlike most of the others, I’m a matureage grad, so I’m hoping that experience and my desire to be a lifelong learner will help the kids and even teach them about life after school.” In 2014, Braybrook College had its best VCE results ever, with aspiring doctor Norine Ma achieving an ATAR of 99.95. Seven students posted an ATAR above 96 and there were three perfect scores. Priscilla Moca

HELEN TRAN AND DYLAN JAPE

Students off to a flyer Helen Tran and Dylan Jape have had a better start than most to their final year at school. The two Caroline Chisholm Catholic College students achieved perfect study scores of 50 in accelerated year 12 subjects last year. Helen, 17, will take on English, biology, chemistry, Japanese and maths methods after her perfect study score in further maths. The St Albans resident said she was surprised by her achievement and believed the experience had put her in good stead for this year’s exams. “I was aiming for a score in the mid-40s, so when I got 50 I was really happy,” said Helen, who wants to become a physiotherapist. “This year, I just want to do my best and make the most of the last year of high school. “Now we know how everything works with VCE, we can better prepare with our study habits and everything.”

Open Day

Maribyrnong resident Dylan was also surprised with his perfect score in biology, because he was concerned by his performance in assessment tasks throughout the year. The 17-year-old will study English, maths methods, specialist maths, chemistry and physics this year and hopes to get into biomedicine at Monash next year. “I thought there was a mistake” [about the result],” he said with a laugh. “Going into the exam, I didn’t expect to do so well.” Both students took part in a three-day program at Monash and Melbourne universities over the school holidays that gave year 12 students an introduction to science and maths subjects.

Film weaver at work By Goya Dmytryshchak The Trilogies art exhibition at Newport’s Substation showcases three bodies of work by three major artists, produced over the past decade. Erik Bunger, a Swedish artist who lives in Berlin, views language as the first technology and describes the voice as “inauthentic”, and language as something “immortal” and “radically inhuman”. He has created a series of essayistic, philosophical videos that mix clips from such diverse films as 2001: A Space Odyssey Odyssey, Nanook of the North, Fitzcarraldo and The Dark Knight Rises. These examples all appear in Bunger’s most recent film, The Girl Who Never Was, which completes a trilogy he began in 2007. This will be screened, along with its companion films, as part of Trilogies. The exhibition presents a trio of trilogies: alongside Bunger are Sydney duo (now New York) Soda_Jerk, who are showing their Dark Matter series, while Melbourne artist Willoh S. Weiland is represented by her Space Trilogy. Dark Matter (2005-12) takes the form of “seance fiction” where encounters are staged between the past and future selves of a deceased screen star. Space Trilogy (2008-2015) investigates the relationship between art and outer space. Forever Now Now, the final work from the trilogy, is a collection of works created to communicate to outer space, with contributions from 118 countries. The exhibition is open until March 15 during gallery hours, 11am-5pm, Wednesday to Sunday. More details are at www.thesubstation. org.au – with The Age

Aimee will compete in the under-13 female division alongside competitors from across Australia and New Zealand. Open to children up to 15, the challenge was created by champion ironman Zane Holmes to mirror the famous Kellogg’s ironman series. “My goal was to create a unique ocean and beach spectacular for junior lifesavers – Nippers – so they can come together from around Australia to take part in an exciting

competition,� said Holmes, who started out as a Nipper. Altona Life Saving Club secretary Lisa Curran said 260 Nippers trained every Sunday, with competition children training an extra three times a week. “They have to be five years of age, so we have under-sixes through to under-14s,� she said. “It’s an education-based program that’s geared up for the children to become junior lifesavers. It teaches them the skills to compete and be safe in the water.� For more details, visit www.altonalsc.com. au. Goya Dmytryshchak

It has been hailed as the birth of heavy metal – the 1970 release of Black Sabbath’s self-titled debut album. Exactly 45 years later, Yarraville will host a Friday 13 celebration to honour a band that changed the world. The Black Sabbath 45th anniversary show will feature a one-off collaboration of some of Melbourne’s most respected heavy rock exponents, forming super group The Wizards. In place of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward there will be Matt Chapman, Jake Haugis, Neil Wilkinson, Daniel Firth, Jim Coelli and Liam Cuffley, along with some surprise guests. Expect rock classics – think Behind the Wall of Sleep, Evil Woman, Sleeping Village – as The

Wizards play the Black Sabbath album in its entirety before backing an encore set of Black Sabbath favourites. Event organiser James Young says Black Sabbath remains the most important heavy metal band of all time. “Once they adopted the Black Sabbath name and incorporated horror-inspired lyrics and occult themes, coupled with those legendary, tuned-down guitars, they defined an entirely new genre in rock.” The Black Sabbath tribute show is at The Yarraville Club, 135 Stephen Street, Yarraville, from 7pm, Friday, February 13. Tickets can be bought via www.yarravillelive.com or at the door if available. Ben Millar

Pictures of diversity be, within a context of where I live, which is Melbourne’s west,” he said. “The work I’ve made is partly acknowledging the cultural diversity here – it’s a bit of an honouring.” The free exhibition runs at Roslyn Smorgon Gallery until February 24.

A Footscray artist is turning the notion of “authentic” identity on its head in an exhibition at Footscray Community Artists Centre.

Queer eye on our times Newport Substation volunteer Carmel Kozolup appraises works by four Melbournebased queer cartoonists, who are featured in the Sissy Blvd exhibition at the Substation as part of the Midsumma Festival. Drawings by Lee Lai, Merv Heers, Katie Parrish and Sam Wallman explore gender, sexuality, class and visibility. The exhibition examines remnants of gay liberation and contemporary queer culture. Lai’s work explores sexuality, race and gender through comics and cartoons, using ink and gouache. Heers’ pen and ink comics examine gender, sex and psychedelic experiences, while Parrish’s practice is mainly concerned with mental illness and feminism. Wallman’s drawings about how politics affects our lives is a mix of traditional cartooning and an emerging style of comics-journalism. The exhibition is open until March 15 from 11am-5pm, Wednesday to Sunday. Goya Dmytryshchak Footscray artist Steven Rhall. (Supplied)

Footscray people everywhere join in the Australia-wide pride at the arrival of the Duke of Gloucester who will become the first royal Governer-General of the Commonwealth. Appropriately, he landed here on Australia Day (last Monday). With him are the Duchess of Gloucester and their two sons, Prince William and Prince Richard.

Altona North’s proposed swimming pool complex is now likely to become a reality following the announcement this week of a $125,000 grant towards the project. Chairman of the swimming pool advisory committee Cr Les Crofts said it was likely that an early start would be made on the complex. The grant was announced by the federal government as part of a $1 million grant for improvement of recreation facilities.

Williamstown Emergency Relief Committee is working hand-in-hand with the Salvation Army seeing to the social needs of Darwin refugees at Wiltona Hostel, North Williamstown. The Salvation Army was appointed by the Victorian Social Services department to head the committee overseeing the care and support of the refugees when it was decided to reopen at Wiltona – closed for two years – for Darwin evacuees.

Lawyers, social welfare groups and Footscray council are to join forces and campaign for Footscray court to be re-opened. The court shut up shop on Friday as part of the state government’s master plan to streamline the legal system. But its closure will put immense pressure on the region’s already overworked welfare groups – and place further hardships on local people who make use of court facilities.

MOTOR The Qashqai is plain wonderful By David Bonnici

NISSAN QASHQAI ST

Quite often the cars I get to test are the top-of-the-range versions and it’s easy to be dazzled by the nice seats and extras and ignore important things, such as how the car drives. Not that I’m complaining – it’s fantastic driving around brand new cars with all the bells and whistles. But it’s also nice when you get a base model and love it for the car it is. A case in point is the new Nissan Qashqai, part of Nissan’s comprehensive SUV range that includes the Pathfinder and X-Trail. The 2WD Qashqai doesn’t pretend to have the off-road credentials of the other two. It doesn’t even come in an AWD version. Truth be told, it’s an overgrown hatchback, which is one of the most competitive segments of the Australian car market. There’s myriad cars such as this on the market. They’re all reasonably fuel-efficient, versatile, practical and aesthetically pleasing. So what separates the UK-built Qashqai (pronounced Cash-kye) from the rest of the compact-SUV crowd that I have driven? For me it was the fact that it was really nice to drive It just felt right, from the seat height and forward vision to the responsiveness of the 2.0L petrol engine and feel of the gear stick. I looked for any reason to go for a drive in it, which is what you really want from a car – all this in a little manual without sunroof, satellite navigation or powered leather seats. That’s not to say the base model ST is a spartan copy of the Land Rover Mk1. It comes with smartphone integration, reverse camera,

The 2.0-litre petrol engine with manual is reasonably fuel efficient – giving about 7.7 litres/per 100 kilometres combined, which isn’t too different from smaller cars with engines of the same size.

SPORT WRFL selectors spread the net wide Three Barry Priest medallists are included in the initial Western Region Football League squad for the AFL Vic Metro championships. Werribee Districts’ Matthew Dean, St Albans’ Tim Jenkins and Sunshine’s Russell Douglas are among 58 players named for the March clash with the Eastern Football League. With an average age of 24, the line-up is three years younger than last year’s squad, but it isn’t without experience with eight of 2014’s division 1 team captains being named. Two former AFL players, Hoppers Crossing’s Wayde Skipper and Altona’s Jayden Post, also add experience to the squad. Players from each of the division 1 sides have been selected, with Glenorden’s Josh

MacDonald the only player selected from division two. Not surprisingly, reigning premier Deer Park has the most players in the squad, its nine including captain Chris Stewart. Runner-up Spotswood has eight players in the squad, including VFL premiership player Michael Fogarty. Both Wyndham teams, Hoppers Crossing and Werribee Districts, are well represented with seven and six players respectively. Seven St Albans players have been named, with six from Altona and five from Sunshine. Albion and Port Melbourne Colts have four each and Chris Muratore is the sole representative from newly promoted Parkside. Coach Brett Jacobs and his coaching panel

are still to choose a captain. Last year’s skipper, Jason Cloke, has moved to Essendon District Football League side Craigieburn. WRFL football operations manager Dave Newton says the initial squad has the versatility and skills to match it with the best. “We had an average age of 27 last year, so combining a few younger names with the talent of our more experienced players will be of great benefit to Brett and the rest of the coaching panel when selecting the final squad,” he said. Senior inter-league training is set to start in mid-February ahead of the March 28 clash at VISY Park. Tara Murray

Steve Thom and I will do a special one-hour preview show on WYN FM from 5-6pm on Friday, March 27. We’ll talk to the coaches, players and those involved in this great grassroots footy day. The WRFL season kicks off on April 11, with the opening game on 88.9 WYN FM when Deer Park unfurls the premiership flag against Spotswood. Werribee kicks off the VFL season the following Friday, against Geelong at Avalon Airport Oval, at 7.30pm.

Eagles hit finals stride By Tara Murray The scrap for sub-district finals spots is well and truly on, with Yarraville right in the middle. Having knocked off top-two side Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows in their last match, the Eagles looked set to create another upset against top team Melton after day one of their most recent match. The Eagles needed only 24 runs on day two, Saturday, for the win, which captain-coach Matthew Love said was a “nervous 24 runs”. He praised his bowlers for setting up the victory. After passing the 101 needed for first innings points, the Eagles were bowled out for 138. The Lions finished their second innings at 4-88.

“We had planned to bowl well in partnerships, which we did,” Love said. “Even though Harry Finch got six wickets, it was the partnerships from both ends which kept the pressure on. “We made sure we were cutting off singles and not letting them get easy runs.” Love said the biggest factor in the club becoming a contender was improved batting performances. “We’re having a good year with the bat, having scored the most runs in the competition,” he said. “It’s been a bit of a weakness in the past. Now we’re strong across the board, especially our top six.” The Eagles sit in fifth position, only one first innings win behind Plenty Valley and the Lions, who are second and third. “I brought up with the boys during the week

that the good sides in all sports make sure they keep the intensity up in the lead-up to finals,” Love said. “In the past, when we haven’t been in the position to make finals, the intensity has dropped off at this time of year. We need to make sure the intensity is going upwards.” Williamstown kept its finals hopes alive with a win over Preston. After making 8-295 batting first, Williamstown restricted Preston to 202. Mitchell Knight and Jarrod Flood-Bruce took three wickets each. Williamstown is seventh on the ladder, six points outside the top six. Altona also had a good win, defeating Kew by 157 runs. Altona skittled Kew for 94, well short of its own total of 251 made on day one. Jake Cullen and Shane Jones took three wickets each for Altona.

■ It’s going to be interesting watching western suburbs sporting heroes Barry Hall and Merv Hughes in the South African jungle in the TV series I’m a celebrity, get me out of here. Merv told me on radio a week ago that he wasn’t the cricketer involved, but I guess that was a contractual obligation. I wish him and Barry all the best. Kevin Hillier

In league with the best By Liam Twomey After a world-beating year on the basketball court, Dejan Vasiljevic has added another trophy to his fast-growing collection. Vasiljevic was named overall winner of the Don Deeble Rising Star award for 2014 at the competition’s grand final last week. The 17-year-old basketball sensation impressed award organisers with his performances through the past 12 months, which included being named Australia’s most valuable player in an under-17 tour of China, being named in the all-star five of the under-17 FIBA world championships, and scoring 29 points against the US in the competition’s final. “Everything that has happened over the past 12 months has been amazing,” Vasiljevic said. “I’ve had great support from my family and all the coaches back home, and the hard work has really paid off. “Having the opportunity to play against the best players from around the world has been amazing. This is a great community and I’m so glad to be part of it,” he said. The western suburbs’ basketball fraternity aren’t the only ones singing the praises of Vasiljevic. The Tarneit local, who now trains full-time at Canberra’s Australia Institute of Sport, has been the talk of the US college basketball world since his outstanding performance at the FIBA world championships. Vasiljevic has received countless offers from colleges wanting to sign him to the 2016 rosters. While he has plenty of time to make a decision on his post-school basketball life, Vasiljevic will get a first-hand look at what it takes to make it at the top level this month. He has been invited to an exclusive training

camp for some of the world’s best young players. The week-long trip will take place in New York and coincide with the NBA All Star weekend. “I’ll be involved in a three-day camp and then I’ll be watching Dante (Exum) in the rising stars challenge, and then helping out in the NBA All Star game. “LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and all those types of players will be there, so it should be a great experience. “I fly back to play national championships in Dandenong after that. I might be a bit jetlagged, but you have got to do that sort of thing if you want to be a professional.” The Don Deeble Rising Star award is run by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club in conjunction with Star Weekly. The award recognises young athletes in the western suburbs who have achieved exceptional results at state and national level. Each month, one nominee receives $1000 donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club . Nominees also receive other prizes to assist in their future sporting goals. Following the 10 monthly nominations, the grand final for the award is held in January. All nominees from the past year are eligible to win the first prize of $5000, while two runners-up each get $2500. This year’s runners-up were netballer Libby Birch and cricketer James Muirhead. Birch is a member of the Australian 17 and under national squad and captained Victoria to a gold medal at the national championships. Muirhead made his international T20 debut for Australia last year and played domestic cricket for Victoria. Dejan Vasiljevic won the Don Deeble Rising Star award last week. (Wayne Hawkins)

Rule change forces Falcon’s shuffle City West Falcons face a season of uncertainty in the Victorian Netball League. Having dominated the competition over the past three years, a new-look Falcons side takes to the court this year. Due to a rule change in the VNL competition, sides can select in their squads only two players who are also contracted to play in the ANZ championships. City West is responsible for six current ANZ championship players, with Chloe Watson, Emily Mannix, Kate Moloney, Tegan Caldwell, Alice Teague-Neeld and Liz Watson all coming from the western suburbs-based club. The rule change means only defenders Watson and Mannix will be available for the Falcons. Also not returning to the Falcons’ line-up this season is Casey Price, who has moved to rival club Melbourne Uni. City West coach Marg Lind said the off-season change had led to a busy pre-season.

“It’s hard to say how we are going because a lot of the players are doing fine in pre-season, but it is completely different once you get into real matches,” she said. “We had to have a year like this year where we basically have a whole new group, so I think that’s important. Obviously you might step backwards to step forwards.” The Falcons moved quickly to replace their losses, with Demi Woodlock returning to the club after a season out of the game. City West has also brought in former Monash University shooter Stephanie Tyrell and Altona association player Bridget O’Halloran. Lind said it was great to see some young western talent graduating to the Falcons’ squad. “We’re finally achieving the link between the real young juniors coming through the western suburbs and having them transitioning through the club,” Lind said. “That’s what we aimed to achieve originally and what we are starting to achieve now.”

City West will begin its 2015 campaign against Melbourne University Lightning this week at the State Netball and Hockey Centre. Despite all the changes to her squad, Lind is confident her new-look team has what it takes to match all sides throughout the competition. “It obviously depends on when we get our Vixens players back, too. If we don’t have them regularly that will test our depth. “I think we will be competitive … it will just come down to their control and how they gel as a team.” The City West Falcons finished runners up in the VNL last year, with the only game the club lost being the grand final. “With the big turnover of players, there’s a small percentage of us who still feel what happened last year, but then there are also all these fresh players, so there’s a bit of mixed emotions really,” Lind said.

Tullamarine feels full force of Clubbers It was wickets all round in Yarraville Club’s win over Tullamarine in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s senior division. Leading by 95 runs after day one, the Clubbers quickly wrapped up Tullamarine’s innings, which went from 5-51 at the start of the second day to a tardy 76. Emmett Bronca took four wickets for the Clubbers, who then went in search of quick runs in the second innings to give the side a chance of an outright win, declaring at 7-86 with a 156-run lead. Benjamin Pope made 35. Tullamarine, with its last two batsmen at the crease, managed to hold on and avoid outright defeat, finishing at 9-135. Konrad Kurta led the bowling with three wickets. In north division, Spotswood’s first innings score of 120 was enough for victory over Seddon. Spotwood’s bowlers ran through Seddon’s batting, skittling them for just 41, with Andrew Dickinson taking 6-14. In its second dig, Spotswood declared at 8-138. Seddon opener Malith Cooray ensured there would be no outright victory, making 72 as his team finished at 9-160. Dickinson took four more wickets to complete 10 for the match. Laverton’s first innings score of 7-231 ensured victory over Sunshine Druids, while Altona North lost easily to Keilor. Tara Murray

Finals fading for Dogs By Tara Murray Footscray Edgewater’s season of Victorian Premier Cricket is at the crossroads after a shock loss to the lowly placed Greenvale Kangaroos on Saturday. The Kangaroos notched up a convincing win, reducing the Bulldogs almost to spectators as they passed the chasing tally with ease. As it was on day one of the clash, the Bulldogs started the better of the two sides before falling away. The Kangaroos resumed at 2-75 chasing 188. They finished the day at 8-327. “They were very disciplined,” Bulldogs captain Dean Russ said. “We were able to keep it tight for the first hour but weren’t able to keep it going for long enough. “The way we performed wasn’t up to

standard. We had a good win the week before against Fitzroy Doncaster and were hoping that would continue.” The reigning premiers sit in 11th spot, six points outside the top eight, with two matches remaining. All the sides above the Bulldogs have a superior percentage. “While there’s still a pulse, we will be fighting for a finals spot,” Russ said. “If we get back to playing the good cricket we know we can play, everything else should take care of itself. “We need to focus on 11 blokes playing their role for the team. The results would say that we need to lift across the board.” Bulldogs coach Steve Chapman agreed, saying the side wasn’t playing its best. “I always hoped to beat the Kangaroos but certainly wasn’t thinking that we would win,” Chapman said. “They knocked us off

last year and I pointed that out during the week. I think the boys have lost confidence and aren’t embracing the game as they should be. “Last year, we always had someone able to stand up at the right time. This year, we’ve had a group of players all out of form at the same time. “I think we are a genuinely good side that is just playing poorly.” Chapman said the side needed to look at the process, not the overall result of matches. “We have been talking [about the results] a lot and been working hard on trying to rectify it. “I want them to concentrate on the processes and not get too far ahead. “We know there’s two games left, but we can’t think of it like that.”

Bayside Thunder’s women’s side won the Asia Pacific Tennis League Championships last Tuesday. The star-studded team beat Flagstaff Freighters, 4-8-41 to 2-6-33. Olivia Rogowska got Thunder off to a perfect start with a straight sets win over Katarzyna Pieter 4-2, 4-0. In the second rubber, Arina Rodionova had to work hard for her win over Jessica Moore, losing the first set before winning 1-4, 4-2, 4-2. Viktorjia Rajicic made the margin 2-1 when she defeated the Thunder’s Storm Sanders, 4-2, 4-2, in the third rubber of the final. When Varatchaya Wongteanchai won her singles match, 4-1, 4-1, against Nicole Collie, the Thunder led three matches to one and had one hand on the trophy, . Thunder clinched the title in the first of the doubles matches when Wongteanchai and Sanders came from behind to win 10-4 in the tiebreak, The match result was 2-4, 4-1 (10-4). In the tournament’s final rubber, Rogowska and Rodinova lost to Moore and Pieter. Tara Murray
