From Burma to the beach She couldn’t swim before coming to Australia, but Thei-Lay Paw has become Victoria’s first female lifesaver from Burma’s persecuted Karen minority.

Born in the Mae La refugee camp on the Thai border, 14-year-old Thei-Lay joins six other teenagers from Burma who are patrolling Williamstown beach.

“It feels great to be the first girl and also be surrounded by the others,” she said. “It’s peaceful when you get to come down to the beach, have a swim and get to meet new friends.”

Soon after arriving in Australia as a refugee, Thei-Lay started swimming at age eight through Life Saving Victoria’s multicultural learn-to-swim program at Hoppers Crossing.

She then joined the Nippers program before completing her surf rescue training last month alongside her brother, Nelson, 13, and fellow Karen community members Allbright Sun, 18, and Yoe Doh Htoo Heh, 15. They are the second wave of Karen lifesavers at Williamstown Swimming and Life Saving Club, joining Yee Sai Say, 16, and brothers Dawit, 17, and Aliah Htoo, 14.

Life Saving Victoria multicultural projects manager David Holland said Thei-Lay’s mother and older sister had also learned to swim through the multicultural program and had become swimming teachers at Laverton.

Gang threat to refugees Violent criminals have been terrorising refugees at Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre, forcing them to hide.

Footscray Police have been called to a number of recent assaults and incidents at the centre as gangs of criminals awaiting deportation have set upon and threatened to kill refugees.

Footscray police’s Inspector Tony Long said police had been called to the centre at least four times in the past month in relation to incidents, including escapes or assaults.

“There are issues at the moment, to be honest,”

he said. “The grim reality is that Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre has people there who are outward-bound. Some of those are as simple as overstaying a visa, while others are there in relation to their criminal activity.”

A group of nine refugees last week moved into a protected ward accessible only to officers after being kicked out of their rooms by a gang of “501s”.

The so-called 501 detainees are usually former prisoners, not refugees, awaiting deportation under section 501 of the Migration Act after being sentenced to a year or more in jail.

Serco and Department of Immigration and Border Protection officials.

A department spokeswoman said it would be inappropriate to comment on particular placements for individual detainees.

But she pointed to recent comments by Immigration and Border Protection Minister Peter Dutton that detention centres were holding more detainees with criminal backgrounds.

The latest incidents come in the wake of five recent escapes, the discovery of drugs, and complaints of heavy-handed behaviour by guards that has led to the sacking of two staff.

One of the nine told media a gang of New Zealand criminals had “blades and wires”, and had threatened to kill a group of Sri Lankan asylum seekers.

Inspector Long said the combination of refugees and hardened criminals being held at the centre had created a volatile situation for detainees and guards.

“It is out of our realm to comment in terms of what’s happening with deportation policy,” he said. “But you can certainly assume the mix is less than ideal.”

As well as responding to incidents, police hold regular meetings with centre operators

Friends rally to fund funerals for grandma, boy Almost $50,000 has been raised to help a Maidstone family devastated by the deaths of four-year-old Alistair Kwong and his grandmother, Mai Mach.

Friends and family of the slain pair have created a fundraising webpage paying tribute to the “two beautiful souls” lost last Tuesday when Alistair, the only child of Amy Mak and Andrew Kwong, was killed while being babysat at his grandparents’ Albanvale house.

Chinese national Cai Xia Liao, 45, is alleged

to have attacked Alistair with garden shears and then lay in wait for his grandmother, Mai. Ms Liao is charged with two counts of murder and also intentionally causing injury, unlawful imprisonment and assault.

She has been remanded in custody until July 22.

The campaign to help cover Alistair’s funeral expenses began on Thursday with a target set at $20,000.

By Tuesday, it had raised more than $46,000.

“No words could express the sadness and pain family and friends of Mai and Alistair are going through,” a friend wrote on the page.

The page has attracted an outpouring of grief as well as messages of strength and support.

“Amy & Teresa, I am really sorry about your loss and the pain you girls are going through.

But you have to be strong and fight through the pain. Never forget your friends are always beside you,” wrote Ron To.

Life in the old Dog yet

By Benjamin Millar A community campaign to buy the iconic Dancing Dog Café building in Footscray is off to a flying start with more than $45,000 already pledged.

The Pozible crowdfunding campaign to buy the building for community use raised more than $30,000 on its launch day last Thursday and tipped over the $45,000 mark on Tuesday.

But the campaign faces stiff competition, according to Biggin & Scott agent Matthew Alderman.

Mr Alderman said there has been “a pretty amazing” response to the sale of 42A Albert Street.

“We have been smashed with inquiries, mostly from developers but also a lot of people looking to live in the upstairs level.”

Mr Alderman said he hoped the community campaign would succeed and the building would be kept in its current form, but the race to raise enough funds by the April 18 auction would be a difficult one.

“I think this is a fantastic initiative. I would love to see this happen, but it looks like they will need to raise in excess of $1.5 million.”

Yarraville writer Maxine Beneba Clarke, who set one of the stories from her award-winning short story collection Foreign Soil in the building, said she chose the location for both its historical and contemporary prominence in the area.

She said the building once supported Footscray’s workers as the home of the United Friendly Societies Dispensary, and now it hosted the Big West Festival and regular events, such as Westword poetry readings.

“The majestic Dancing Dog building sits in the heart of Footscray’s artistic community,” she said.

Campaign organiser Katerina Gaita said, whatever happened, the campaign could be considered a success, unearthing wonderful stories and bringing the community together.

“The more momentum we get behind this the more chance there is of succeeding or of some white knight coming in and saving the building,” she said. More details are at www.pozible.com/buythedog.

An application to add a fourth storey to a Yarraville development has been rejected by Victoria’s planning tribunal.

Maribyrnong councillors last year unanimously rejected the plan for Yarraville village’s first four-storey residential development, at 66 Wilson Street, instead approving a modified three-storey proposal.

Developer Marwood Construction appealed the decision in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, pushing for its plan to build 14 dwellings in a series of two-, three- and four-storey buildings.

VCAT member Katherine Paterson last week found a four-storey building “would be inconsistent with fine grain building form within this area” and that “such a departure in built form is not supported by planning policy for this site”.

Maribyrnong council last month issued a stop-work order to Marwood Development over work it had begun in breach of permit conditions.

Meanwhile, Mahercorp, the developer of sites at 109 Anderson Street and 44-46 Fehon Street in Yarraville, has lodged an application for review to VCAT in the wake of Maribyrnong council’s refusal to grant its project a permit.

Mahercorp has proposed a three-storey apartment building containing 44 apartments for a 2440square-metre corner site overlooking Beaton Reserve. More than 70 objections were raised over the proposal’s size, amenity impact and lack of respect for neighbourhood character.

residential zones in Hobsons Bay will help in better preserving our local neighbourhood character,” Cr Gates said.

“Council is currently in the midst of a number of conversations … to ensure we get the right balance between accommodating growth while maintaining local character.”

People can have their say at the ‘Participate Hobsons Bay’ section of the council’s website.

More than 1600 parking fines are being issued every week across Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong, with the number of people caught illegally parking in disabled bays rising sharply.

Council figures show more drivers are being fined this financial year than in the previous 12 months. The number of fines for people illegally parking in disabled bays already exceeds last year’s total.

In Maribyrnong, there have been 44,721 parking fines issued since last July, including 986 for parking in an area for people with disabilities. This is up from 624 such fines in the previous 12 months, out of a total of 60,229 fines.

Hobsons Bay council has issued 14,335 parking fines this financial year to date, 193 of those for able-bodied drivers parking in a disabled bay.

The previous year, 17,956 fines were issued, 180 for stopping in a disabled bay.

Hobsons Bay mayor Colleen Gates said the number of people wrongfully taking up disabled spots was still relatively low.

“Illegal parking in disabled carparks does happen in Hobsons Bay, although it only represents about one per cent of the parking infringements from the last year,” she said. “If a Hobsons Bay local laws officer finds a vehicle parked without displaying an appropriate permit, then an infringement will be issued.”

Drivers risk fines of up to $148 for illegal parking.

An Altona North resident has launched a campaign against a “massive increase” in two-storey subdivisions in his street, saying it spells the death of the Aussie backyard.

Nick Ostrovskis said owners of six addresses in a 65-metre radius of his home in The Broadway either had or were seeking approval to build “bulky townhouses” that were out of character with the neighbourhood.

He is campaigning door-to-door and says he has collected more than 90 submissions against townhouses in the street that are yet to receive Hobsons Bay council approval.

“The street dynamic of my suburb is metamorphosing almost overnight from single-storey family houses with big backyards, fruit trees and vegie patches to several double storey townhouses, all choc-a-bloc, built up to the fenceline, on the same address,” Mr Ostrovskis said.

“So many, many extra people and many, many extra cars will be squashed together like sardines in a 65-metre radius area, if it all goes ahead. Where will the children play?”

Mr Ostrovskis said while going door-to-door, numerous residents had complained about the loss of privacy and sunlight and an increase in noise.

“Some people have even invited me into their backyards and shown me two-storey monstrosities, which have encroached right up to their fenceline like big grandstands overlooking their backyard.

“One man in Jeffrey Avenue even has stormwater and sewage backflows through his kitchen, which flood his home and garage during severe downpours.

“He said that this has happened three times and only started to occur after two-storey

VCAT rejects Pier Street bid

By Goya Dmytryshchak

A developer has lost his bid to build a seven-storey apartment block in Pier Street, Altona, after the state’s planning tribunal upheld Hobsons Bay council’s refusal to grant a permit.

Footscray-based Fremont Homes had lodged an appeal at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to build what would have been Altona’s tallest residential building on the site of the old Boccelli restaurant at 118 Pier Street.

Fremont hoped to build 31 dwellings over five storeys, an 87-square-metre ground floor retail premises with 19 parking spaces, and a mezzanine level with 26 apartment stores and 14 parking spaces.

VCAT presiding member Geoffrey Code and member Chris Harty said the council’s approval of two five-storey developments close by did not justify Fremont’s proposal, which was on a lot measuring just 20.1 metres wide.

They said most problems associated with the proposal could be overcome if one residential level was removed.

Hobsons Bay mayor Colleen Gates said the VCAT decision was a big win for the community. “We believe the bulk and height of the seven-storey building does not align with the council or community’s vision for Altona’s future,” she said. “This proposal does not deliver the quality architecture that our community has come to expect for Pier Street.”

The felling of two heritage cypress trees at Williamstown cemetery has angered a local historian.

But the Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, which manages the cemetery, said the two Monterey cypress trees had been dropping limbs and posed a risk to the public.

The cemetery, established in 1857, is on the Victorian Heritage Register and its trees are deemed to be of state significance.

The historian, who asked not to be named, said he believed the two cypress trees were about 150 years old.

“Everyone who lives around here is devastated,” he said. “One of those trees … has a crane that roosts there every night and I’ve taken photographs of it and can’t even identify the crane – it’s endangered.

“And it’s not one, it’s two they’ve cut down – and they’ve just left the firewood there. They’ve not just chopped them down, they’ve chopped them up into little blocks.”

Trust chief executive Jacqui Briggs said public safety issues posed by the trees’ decay and vulnerability to the elements had been identified more than a year ago.

“It was eventually determined that the trees needed to be removed in the interests of public safety and also from an aesthetic point of view,” she said. “The trees continued to drop limbs and as a result became a serious hazard to public and employee safety.”

Ms Briggs said the timber from the cypress trees was not able to be recycled. “When timber from removed trees is of a quality that would be of interest to a carpenter or artisan, the trust endeavors to make the material available.”

Two Aleppo pines were also removed as they were “completely dead”, she said.

“The most important part of being who we are means accepting all, but so often we hear people say you weren’t born here, you don’t belong. Our roots are strong, and we only ask to be treated as normal, as we would treat you.”

I could stop wearing the turban and cut my hair. My father said that was the saddest day in his life.”

Lovepreet hopes that by raising awareness of the Sikh faith, the next generation will be treated “normally”.

India-born members of Hobsons Bay’s two fastest-growing religions, Sikhism and Hinduism, have reported experiencing racism and discrimination.

With people born in India representing the biggest group of new arrivals to the municipality, census data recorded a growth of 986 Hindus and 711 Sikhs from 2006-11.

Samridha Iyer, of Altona Meadows, is one of the 1639 people born in India who settled in Hobsons Bay during this time.

“One day I was parking, when a woman launched a racial attack on me and even jumped out of her car to knock on my car window and abuse me,” she said.

“When I asked her why she was so angry, she said: ‘You Indians need to get back where you came from’.

“I saw that she had a baby in her car and I thought about how she was teaching hatred to her baby. There was a tremendous hatred towards me, she was preaching anger. It was her spontaneous reaction … hatred.

“Anti-racism should be taught in schools, with parents taught to teach their children, because children pick it up from the parents.”

Ms Iyer is taking part in an art project against racism, Behind this Smile, in which 12 residents tell their stories about how racism impacted them.

Laverton father and son, Pargat and Lovepreet Singh, have told of their experiences as Sikhs. Lovepreet recounts the moving story of the day he asked his father if he could stop wearing a turban.

“Our whole community is suffering because the majority of people don’t know anything about Sikhism,” he said.

“They see the turban and they don’t know

Drum of war holds its beat

TODD McNEAL

Music makes the man

By Charlene Macaulay Todd McNeal makes music.

The Caroline Chisholm Catholic College music teacher and composer will have his award-winning composition, Gifts, performed at Australia’s biggest choir festival, Choral Fest, in Melbourne later this week.

The Sunshine resident, who has composed for some of the top youth choirs in Australia, was commissioned by Brighton’s Firbank College 18 months’ ago to compose a piece that

the school choir would perform in Europe.

His composition was based on a poem written

by Aboriginal poet Oodgeroo Noonuccal, telling the story of a young man trying to woo a woman.

“It’s sort of funny and romantic,” McNeal said. “It’s a brilliant poem with a brilliant story.”

It was also a winner. Firbank College choir Bel Canto took out first place in the treble choir section after performing Gifts at the Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival last year.

“I was very pleased that the school liked the piece and it went down well with the audience,” McNeal said. “It’s exciting for me that it’s being done here in Melbourne.

“I wrote some operas that had a little bit of success in the UK when I was first writing music … about six or seven years ago, I found this poem in a book of nursery rhymes I’d been reading to my daughters and I thought I’d try something different and write choral music. I found a way of combining my love of pop and jazz and music with my skill in classical music.”

A bass drum that boomed across the Western Front during World War I will feature in this month’s Anzac Day centenary march after being discovered in Footscray.

The vintage drum, inscribed with the names of soldiers serving with the 1st AIF almost 100 years ago, was discovered during a recent clean-out of the Footscray Yarraville City Band’s storeroom.

The bands’ Anzac centenary manager, Colin Harrison, said restoring the drum, producing a travelling WWI memorabilia display and holding an Anzac Centenary commemorative concert in November were this year’s special projects.

The band received a $12,378 grant to help produce the concert, which will bring to life the stories of the original Anzacs and commemorate their sacrifice.

Gellibrand MP Tim Watts said the Anzac centenary local grants program would also help three other local projects.

The Footscray Historical Society has been awarded $17,100 to develop an interactive website on the Footscray Town Hall roll of honour board of servicemen and women in World War I. Footscray Community Arts Centre will receive $9000 for an arts and cultural development project entitled ‘Black & White in World War One’.

And Footscray Art Industry Resources will be given $7500 to assist in a Women Wept exhibition, exploring the theme of women’s loss and grief in wartime.

A painting by Mick Turner of Dirty Three.

The art of making music Some of Australia’s best-loved musicians are coming to Footscray this weekend … leaving their instruments behind.

The Turn Up Your Radio exhibition at Trocadero Art Space features works by musicians who are also professional visual artists, including members of Ratcat, Dirty Three, Beaches, Dick Diver, Cosmic Psychos and Macromantics, and solo artists such as Darren Sylvester.

Curator Brendan Lee says many art exhibitions have music as a theme but this is the first he is aware of that brings together musicians who also create art.

“My two passions in life are art and music, especially Australian music and particularly contemporary Melbourne music,” he said.

Turn Up Your Radio opens 4-6pm Saturday and will be on show until April 25 at Trocadero Art Space, Level 1, 119 Hopkins Street, Footscray.

Entertainer Sean Murphy with Maribyrnong mayor Nam Quach. (Joe Mastroianni)

No more kidding around After seven years on the kid’s party circuit, Sean Murphy has more than his fair share of battle-scars.

Murphy will share these stories and more in his acclaimed show, Kids’ Party Confidential, at Footscray’s Bluestone Church Arts Space from Thursday as part of Comedy Out West.

The “physical and psychological toll” of sweating into Shrek masks, turning up as Batman to a party with only two guests and other horror stories has been woven into an hour-long show.

“I really started kids party entertainment at a low ebb,” Murphy said. “But dressing up as Batman was something I turned out to be good at and it became hard to resist.”

Many of the parties were spent as Batman or Spiderman, but his favourites were spent as a

Jedi – “you’re pretty much just in your pyjamas” – or as a pirate.

“As a pirate, you are basically there to insult people, as long as you do it in the appropriate pirate talk then you can get away with anything,” he said.

Murphy said kids’ parties could be addictive but after seven years of them, his new show was a way of closing that chapter of his life.

“We play games, sing songs, have the cake and have a special birthday boy or girl emerge from the audience … we really do have a party!”

Kids’ Party Confidential will be at Bluestone Church Arts Space from April 8-18. Tickets cost $10-$20. For bookings, go to www. kidspartyconfidential.com.

BANANA BIKKIES This week I’d love to hear what you do with your over-ripe bananas. Apart from cakes and muffins, how do you use them up when they start to go all black-skinned and icky?

EMMA NOTARFRANCESCO TV and radio presenter, blogger and foodie FB: How would you rate your cooking skills?

EN: A lot of people make ‘mmmm’ sounds, so I’m going to say great.

FB: What is your signature dish?

EN: I’ve grown up with a lot of pasta in my house so I would have to say homemade pumpkin and sage ravioli.

FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be?

EN: Anything chocolate for dessert. All kinds of prawns for main – grilled, fried, fresh.

FB: What is your favourite TV food show and who is your favourite TV food person?

EN: MasterChef MasterChef. Definitely George Calombaris. He’s a good friend and his food and restaurants are outstanding.

FB: What is your favourite food?

EN: It’s a toss-up between prawns and mum’s homemade pizza. If we are talking dessert, then anything chocolate!

One of the easiest and healthiest ways is to make three-ingredient banana cookies. Just mash two ripe, medium-sized bananas, then combine with one cup of uncooked quick oats and mix through about a quarter of a cup of choc chips (caramel choc chips are good) or whatever you like – sultanas, nuts, chopped apricots … it’s up to you.

Roll into balls and cook on a lined baking tray at 180 degrees celsius for 15 minutes.

Because there’s no flour, the cookies will have a dense and chewy texture, which is what makes them so delicious.

Try them out and let me know what you think.

WHAT’S COOKING? Yarraville Community Centre always has some terrific food and hospitality classes on the go but one of the highlights of this year’s culinary calendar would have to be the popular Footscray Walking Tour.

Participants will join Vietnamese cooking teacher Vy for a ‘meet and greet’ over a delicious meal.

They will then head off on a walking tour, exploring Asian grocers and markets and discovering the best places to buy and eat produce.

The first walking tour is in May. To book, go online at www.ycc.net.au

FB: What is your favourite drink?

EN: Easy – red wine.

FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner?

EN: Michael Buble for the entertainment, Princess Di just because she was one of the most beautiful people on this earth, Daniel Ricciardo as I’m a sports nut and the Beckhams … well, because they are almost royalty.

FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us?

EN: Always clean as you go.

Sitting pretty in a tree-lined street, this appealing abode amid established gardens is right in the thick of vibrant Newport’s cafes, shops, schools and train station – and it’s only a quick drive away from bayside Williamstown. An ideal property for a small family, couples or investors, the house has two bedrooms and two separate living areas. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe next to a study space, the latter providing future potential as an en suite, subject to council approval. Polished floorboards are laid throughout (tiles in kitchen and bathroom) including bedrooms, and ornate cornices on high ceilings reference the earlier period. The all-white kitchen has splashback tiles in soft turquoise, abundant cupboards and a gas cooker. A covered pergola takes in views of a very neat backyard and there’s a garden shed. Extras are heating and evaporative cooling.

In a boutique complex in a sought-after pocket of town, this double-storey apartment packs a design punch with the clever use of space and streamlined appointments. The decor of all white juxtaposed with timber floorboards adds a spacious feel, and bedroom skylights and a northern aspect admit lots of natural light. Upstairs bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and one has an en suite; a second bathroom/European laundry, fully-tiled and sparkling in white, is downstairs. The good-sized living space has interesting ceiling angles and built-in cabinetry beneath a bulkhead – perfect as an office area. The small but well-formed kitchen has a pantry and top/bottom cupboards, dishwasher, underbench oven and gas cooktop. Owners can pull up a pew on a private terrace, a shared common area.

Within a walk of Nelson Place eateries, parkland and train station, the property also has a split-system and, on title, a car space and storage area.

Auction: April 18 at 11am

Since circa 1914, this exceptional Victorian on about 980 square metres has been on the market once only and now there’s a chance to snag a fine, fully refurbished family dwelling within a walk of the beach. Pressed metal ceilings, leadlight upper window panes, picture rails, numerous fireplaces and a grand hallway keep the era’s style at the forefront, but parquetry floorboards and contemporary kitchen and bathrooms are all about today. Four bedrooms include one upstairs which adjoins a modern study with bespoke cabinetry.

The luxe bathroom is decked out in marble. Living areas are a lounge room, dining room and wonderful family-meals area where the all-class kitchen has a dishwasher and gas appliances. Out back is devoted to a heated, salt-water pool surrounded by extensive decking. Ducted heating, split-system, alarm, 3.5kW solar system, water tank, drip irrigation system and three-car garage with sauna and shower room are other attractions.

All wonderfully Victorian kerbside, this abode has been transformed inside into an utterly contemporary, stylish place that’s sure to win many admirers. Just moments from Williamstown beach, Botanic Gardens, train station and Douglas Parade shops and eateries, its location captures the best of the lifestyle on offer here. Entry is into a long hallway that ends in an outstanding living hub where clerestory windows in an atrium-style ceiling allow in streams of natural light and the polished dark-toned floorboards offset the white wall paint. The two bedrooms are along the entry hall, both with wardrobes and one with a study desk. The bathroom is beautifully sleek and the laundry is separate.

The lovely all-white kitchen has stone atop a big island bench, abundant storage, a cafe mixer tap and stainless-steel appliances. Out back, there’s a paved sitting area and a cubbyhouse with storage beneath. Ducted heating and evaporative cooling are other perks.

Price: $1.65 million+

A new benchmark in family living is set by this stunningly re-mastered 1920s house.

This is one of Williamstown’s most prized settings, just moments from The Strand foreshore, Williamstown beach, botanic gardens, cafés and shops.

Architect Steve Domoney’s flair for design is obvious in the high, angled, light-filled rooms. Luxurious polished spotted gum floorboards flow from the entry and contrast with the pristine white interior.

Left of entry is a walk-through study nook leading to the first of three generously-sized bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. A

second, light-drenched bedroom to the right of the entry has a bay window with plantation shutters.

A self-contained studio out the back is an optional fourth bedroom.

Two large living areas for entertaining are a hallmark of this grand design.

The first, at hall’s end, is north-facing, has a bay window and is warmed by a Jetmaster wood heater set in stacked stone.

Compelling visual architecture sets the second living area apart. It delivers the ‘wow factor’ with a contemporary fireplace, sensational high ceilings and expansive

glass with views to a fish pond in a bamboo garden setting.

An exquisite bespoke kitchen will excite the master chef in any family with a commercial grade 900mm SMEG oven, gas cooktop, rangehood, integrated dishwasher, stainless-steel benchtops and a massive stone island bench. There’s endless storage in high gloss white cabinetry, all complemented by on-trend polished concrete floors.

The main bathroom (tucked behind a door off the living hub) is fully tiled and has a bath, glass double shower and a

2

1

temperature-control unit.Upstairs, the mezzanine main bedroom and retreat make a great impression, with a stunning en suite complete with a walk-in shower with glass screen and a floating timber vanity beneath a custom mirror which is the width of the room.

Stacked doors remove an entire wall for seamless indoor and outdoor dining in the manicured backyard. Extras include off-street parking in a lockable car port, ducted heating and air-conditioning.

peter jordan real estate

Our Story...

After many years working in the real estate industry we saw the need for a fresh and progressi e approach to the Hobsons Bay property market. e also saw the necessity for an agency to stand out from the rest of the crowd in order to redefine Hobsons Bay real estate from what is has been in the past, to what is now. rom this ideal, Peter Jordan eal state was born.

As a high profile independent real estate firm, Peter Jordan takes pride in the fact that we are not a competing group of agents under one franchise banner but rather one cohesi e family business.

At Peter Jordan eal state our philosophy is simple, we tell you what you need to know, e en when it is not what you may want to hear. t is guiding principles such as this that ensure Peter Jordan eal state continues to make such a significant impact on the Hobsons Bay real estate market. es, like others we sell homes, but more importantly, the way we see it that we sell peoples homes. ith them come dreams, tears, happiness, lo e, hopes and memories. o much more than ust plain bricks and mortar. t s this understanding and our dedicated approach to your property and personal wants and needs that set Peter Jordan eal state clearly apart.

SPORT Jets see a silver lining in early season losses When you are a side that’s rebuilding, little victories within a game can make losing a touch more palatable.

The Western Jets have not been in the same stratosphere as their three TAC Cup opponents to date, lacking in both playing experience and on the scoreboard.

They have lost their opening three games by an average of 73 points, but there are positives.

Competitive periods have put a smile on the dial, temporarily, of coach Torin Baker and the other coaches.

Eye-catching performances from bottom-age players might have implanted in their own minds the belief that they truly belong among the elite teenage footballers in the state.

The Jets’ 71-point loss to Oakleigh Chargers

at Burbank Oval on Saturday was viewed as another learning curve, albeit a steep one.

They were faced with the daunting prospect of taking on one of the strongest regions – a grand finalist in three out of the past and it didn’t end prettily.

For patches, the Jets would not be bullied though they let themselves down late in the game, allowing the margin to blow out.

“You’re playing against good opposition and you’re getting game time into players who haven’t played a lot of TAC footy, who’ve got to understand the jump up in terms of level,” Baker said.

“We had a number of players who have played only three games and it’s a really good grounding for them.”

Judah Dundon is one of the reasons why the mood remains upbeat at the Jets.

In just his third game for the Jets, the running half-back was named best for his side after collecting more than 30 possessions and keeping the dangerous Dan Houston in check.

“That’s a huge win for him, and the confidence he will get out of that will be really good,” Baker said.

Matthew Knezevic is another bottom-ager from Werribee Districts quickly adjusting to life in the TAC Cup. Daniel Foley finally shrugged off his injury-hit start to the season with a superb game.

“He’s a strong body and his capacity to influence on the contest on the inside was there,” Baker said. “He just had to work on other

Vikings re-armed, ready

By Lance Jenkinson All the signs are pointing up for Altona in the Western Region Football League division 1.

If the trajectory continues for the Vikings, they will play finals footy in 2015 after missing out by a game and percentage last season.

“There are some factors that have led us in the right direction,” Vikings coach Josh Russo told Star Weekly ahead of next Saturday’s seasonopening clash against Werribee Districts at Soldiers Reserve.

“We’ve done the work; we’ve had a good pre-season; the boys are a year older and a year stronger and, hopefully, I’m going to be a better coach second year in.

“The way we were playing at the back end of last year, it’s important we continue to build from that.”

A year ago, Altona was a club at the crossroads, financially uncertain and in danger of being sucked into the relegation mix.

The appointment of rookie coach Russo was a gamble that paid off. Russo delivered, putting together a competitive team on a tight budget and keeping the Vikings relevant in the finals.

The Vikings sat comfortably at the table among the second tier of clubs – those ranked fifth to eighth on the ladder and fighting for the last position in the finals.

Their impressive list of acquisitions this off-season could see them move beyond that and actually figure in finals.

Just who’s the biggest name to rejoin the club is debatable. On one hand, there’s former AFL player Jayden Post ready to relaunch his career at the Vikings after a year travelling. On the other, Travis Lunardi comes back after taking reality television show Big Brother by storm.

Russo doesn’t care who has the bigger profile, all he cares about is performances on-field and that both can seriously play.

Post will give the Vikings’ line-up a touch of the unpredictable in that he can slot into any key position.

“He’s got pure ability,” Russo said. “His experience and knowledge are priceless.”

Before Lunardi became a reality TV sensation, he was a top footballer, playing in an Altona premiership team and stepping up to the VFL. He played with Aberfeldie in the strong EDFL competition last season so is a blue-chip recruit.

“All I can ask from my players, whether it’s ‘Trav’ or anyone else, is commitment to training, practice match effort and that type of stuff,” Russo said. “He’s been really good since he’s come in … the whole group has been really good.”

No less important for the Vikings are the acquisitions of wingman Tyler Healy and goal-sneak Cameron D’Altera. The competition for spots will be more cut-throat this season.

“As a coach, you’d rather be able to pick 22 out of 30, rather than 22 out of 22,” Russo said.

Jordan Robbins has been appointed captain of Altona.

“He stood up when things weren’t really going our way as a football club last year,” Russo said.

The season kicked off on Good Friday, with Hoppers Crossing prevailing by 19 points over St Albans in the traditional opening match at

Kings Park Reserve. For a match report, log on to the Star Weekly website: www.maribyrnong. starweekly.com.au.

The remaining four matches of the opening round will be played on Saturday.

They will include the grand final re-match between Spotswood and Deer Park at John McLeod Oval.

areas of his game … win the uncontested footy, the running patterns and the way he spreads out of stoppages and we’ve been working hard with him on that. He was very good in that area.”

Jackson Volpato was also influential in the midfield. Volpato rose to prominence last season when he burst to the top of the Morrish Medal leaderboard after an early purple patch.

“He’s had a lot of the footy over the first few games but I thought this was his best defensive game,” Baker said.

The Jets have two weeks to lick their wounds.

The break should be enough time for top-liners to recover from injuries and return for the game with NSW-ACT Rams on April 25.

Falcons nest in Doggies’ colours City West Falcons are established as the mighty west’s team in the Victorian Netball League (VNL).

They will continue to serve the western suburbs for the foreseeable future. Maybe even forever.

“We think the western suburbs are a major force in netball and we want to keep it that way,” Falcons coach Marg Lind told Star Weekly.

“We’re certainly consolidating in the west and we feel like we’ve got a nice little position.

I don’t think we’ll be changing. Ever.”

The name and the colours of the Falcons resonate with the western suburbs. They have vowed to never deviate from the red, white and blue while they are based in the west.

“The fact that we wear the colours worn by the Western Bulldogs is an advantage,” Lind said. “It’s consistent with the western suburbs … that culture and identity.” There has been a tendency for VNL teams to chop and change identities. That’s largely to do with affiliations with particular universities and moves to different training venues and municipalities.

The Falcons have not been immune, having formerly played as Hume City Falcons. But there’s a strong sense their present identity is here to stay.

That position has strengthened since VU-Western Lightning’s split with Victoria University. The Falcons’ long-time western rivals started a partnership with Melbourne University this season, bringing about a name change to Melbourne University Lightning.

The Falcons are proud to call the west home. They train at the Altona Netball Stadium and have strong links with Maribyrnong College where they recently played a top-of-the-table clash with Boroondara Express.

“We had a lot of junior netballers who came to watch from Westside Saints and Altona,” Lind said.

The Falcons remain a game clear on top of the VNL championship division ladder despite their first loss of the season – to Monash University Storm by four goals last Wednesday.

They will be looking to atone for the defeat when they face Geelong Cougars, back at the SNHC in the 9.40 game tonight (Wednesday, April 8).
