King of the river

(Damjan Janevski)

Nobody knows the Maribyrnong River like Peter Somerville. Cruising The Blackbird up and down the river four days a week for the past 36 years has provided the captain with insights into both the physical and psychological impact of the waterway on society – as well as humankind’s impact on the river. Mr Somerville is quick to point out the Maribyrnong was discovered by white settlers a day before the Yarra River, and he cheerfully pronounces the river as the more important of the two. “People from the western suburbs learnt to swim in this river; it’s always been very much a part of their life,” he says. Mr Somerville is critical of development that’s encroached on the river’s edge, but he’s pleased with the improvements made since he began operating his ferry on the river in 1979. Mr Somerville will be part of a panel discussion next week that will explore ways in which rivers connect and divide a city. The free Victoria University Game Changers Conversation Series event will be at VU at MetroWest, 138 Nicholson Street, Footscray, from 6.30-8pm, Thursday, September 17.

Cops track meter vandals By Benjamin Millar Police have escalated their investigation into the vandalism of Yarraville’s new parking meters following a second attack within a week of their roll-out. Vandals smashed the screens of at least eight of the machines last week, causing damage estimated at $16,000. A separate attack a week earlier jammed payment slots with construction adhesive. The meters, covering 97 parking spaces, were installed last month at a cost of about $120,000.

Footscray police inspector Adrian Healy said the damage was disappointing and an inappropriate response to paid parking. Senior Detective Brendan O’Mahoney, who is leading the investigation, said police were following up numerous lines of inquiry. “It’s public property and expensive equipment. We will be following a number of leads,” he said. “We’re asking anyone with information to contact CrimeStoppers.” Maribyrnong council chief executive Stephen Wall said council officers were yet to work out the exact cost of repairs, which will

determine whether the cost is claimed under insurance. Star Weekly understands a number of motion-sensitive cameras have been installed in recent days to alert police to suspicious activity around the meters. Both the Yarraville Traders Association and the Yarraville Village Says No To Paid Parking group have condemned the vandalism, which came as traders argue that implementation of paid parking has led to a downturn in business and turned Yarraville into a “ghost town”. Most traders who spoke with Star Weekly

said the downturn had been immediately felt, but The Village Store owner Daniel Anderson said it was too soon to make a direct link. “We don’t agree with the introduction of paid parking, but given all the roadworks we have been having, parking has already been a problem over recent weeks, so it’s too early to say what impact [paid parking] will have,” he said. Paid parking opponents have organised a “Village wake”, to “commiserate the death of the village”. It will be held in front of the Sun Theatre from 2pm on Saturday.

‘Hidden gem’ Altona denies high-crime claim the publisher did not respond to our request to provide the data or comment. According to the Crime Statistics Agency (CSA), in the 12 months to March, 2015, the five Victorian areas with the highest number of offences recorded by Victoria Police were Melbourne postcode 3000 (22,466), Dandenong (9173), Frankston (8459), Ballarat (6661) and Werribee (6289). CSA chief statistician Fiona Dowsley said Victoria Police data showed 854 offences were recorded in the Altona postcode 3018 in the 12 months to March, 2015 – down

7.7 per cent compared to the same period in the previous year. “In the year to March, 2015, offences recorded in the 3018 postcode made up 0.2 per cent of all recorded offences across the state,” she said. Hobsons Bay police inspector Michelle Young reassured Altona residents their suburb was safe – and one of her favourite spots to relax with her family. “As the Local Area Commander of Hobsons Bay, which includes Altona, I believe the suburb is a hidden gem in the western suburbs,” she

Mum’s plea for daughter By Benjamin Millar A Maidstone mother has issued a heartfelt plea to be reunited with her young daughter stranded in Vietnam after her father allegedly took off with the family’s passports. Duong Nguyen, the mother of 11-year-old schoolgirl Kate Vo, said the pair flew to Vietnam in July with her recently estranged husband. On arrival, he allegedly took the family’s Australian passports and later claimed they had been stolen from a hotel room at gunpoint. Ms Nguyen visited the Australian embassy in Ho Chi Minh City seeking replacement passports but could not get one for Kate even though she’s an Australian citizen. Consular officials in Vietnam insisted the father’s signature be provided in order to issue Kate a passport, leaving her stranded with family in Ho Chi Minh City as her mother returned home to seek help. Ms Nguyen said Kate, in year 5 at Footscray West Primary School, was missing her family, friends, school and dance classes. “She doesn’t want to go anywhere,” Ms Nguyen said. “She just stays in bed very sad and I’m very worried about her.” Fighting back tears, she told Star Weekly the situation had left them both deeply upset. “I miss my daughter very much. I really want to bring her back here because she needs to go to school. I want them to make my daughter a passport so I can bring her back.” Ms Nguyen said she had no family in Australia and had been left homeless by her separation. She has been unable to contact her husband, who is thought to be back in Australia. “I can’t contact him,” she said. “Now I have nothing. My daughter is stuck there and I can’t get her back.” Footscray youth worker Les Twentyman accompanied Ms Nguyen as she delivered a letter to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on Monday seeking her daughter’s return. In the letter she said she had returned to Melbourne to try to find her ex-husband, but he had been “elusive and unavailable and not

VCAT overrules unit objections The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has given the go-ahead for a three-storey development in Yarraville despite strong community and council opposition. The $5 million development for 83 Gamon Street went before VCAT in June after being knocked back by Maribyrnong council in December. Real Property Investors’ plans to build 17 units, a shop and café in a mixed-use zone with a heritage overlay attracted 51 objections. Council knocked it back on a range of grounds, including inappropriate design, failure to satisfy neighbourhood character, amenity impacts on adjoining residents, and height and scale failing to respect the area’s heritage significance. Objectors also criticised poor amenity, overshadowing, visual bulk and lack of visitor parking. But the developer argued the proposal met heritage requirements, the purpose of the mixed-use zone and reasonable amenity expectations of adjoining properties. VCAT member Frank Dawson found significant changes had been made to the original plans, including increased setbacks, improved open spaces and solar access, and a reduction in building height from 11.02 metres to 9.65 metres. He noted the concerns of Seddon Community Group secretary Pam Mulready that the proposal would “dwarf the streetscape” and destroy the public realm on Gamon Street. “I can understand concern that the proposed development will introduce change into what is a well-established area,” he said. “I cannot, however, conclude that the proposal will destroy the public realm in Gamon Street.” Ben Millar

Claims that Altona is one of Australia’s worst suburbs for crime have been rubbished by Victoria Police and the Crime Statistics Agency. In an online article, national media outlet Scoopla placed Altona in Victoria’s top five “worst” suburbs, reporting that it was a nightmare for residents who deal with crime and social problems. The publisher told Star Weekly the article was based on crime statistics from www. myboot.com. But the link for Victorian crime figures was unavailable on that website and

MAYOR’S MESSAGE As we roll into spring and the weather warms up, we can look forward to getting outdoors and taking part in all that the City of Maribyrnong has to offer. Taking part in community activities and getting active is at the heart of many Council programs that we proudly deliver. We have just announced our Active Maribyrnong Summer Grants program. The Grants program is an innovative and inclusive way that Council has responded to the need for increased participation in sport by some of our marginalised communities. Council has contributed $20,000 to the Grants program and Cricket Victoria has contributed an additional $15,000. Successful Grants recipients will receive 75 per cent off club membership costs up to $200. The Grants program has been developed to target children aged 5-18 to actively participate in community sport and recreation. The Grants program also targets young people of all abilities, young people with financial disadvantage and young females wanting to play team sport.

More information, visit www.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au Last week, Council also proudly launched the She’s Game – Gender Equity in Sport program. It’s concerning to know that less than 20 per cent of people who play sport in Maribyrnong are female. In direct response to this finding, Council created She’s Game to provide more opportunities for women and girls to join sporting clubs and boost participation. Funded through Medicare Local – Macedon Ranges North West Melbourne, and developed with Leisure Networks, the program aims to educate local clubs on the benefits of increasing female participation and inclusion, the barriers that some women face, and action clubs can take to overcome these barriers.

Tell your story about Braybrook’s iconic Skinner Pavilion and J A Chigwidden Grandstand

Children’s Lantern Festival

Council is asking the community to tell their stories and submit their photos of their meaningful moments at the Skinner Pavilion and the J A Chigwidden Grandstand. These memories will form the content for a Skinner Pavilion and the J A Chigwidden Grandstand Historical Wall, to be later placed in the sporting pavilion at the Braybrook Community Hub. The Historical Wall will honour the significant role the pavilion and grandstand have played in Braybrook’s history as the sporting ‘place to be’ in the western region, hosting large crowds of VFA and VFL spectators. The pavilion and the grandstand will be demolished, commencing this month and anticipated to be complete by mid November. The $12.5 million Braybrook Community Hub opened in March this year. As part of the Hub redevelopment, the community now has a modern and accessible sport pavilion that features social rooms for clubs and hire use, fully accessible change rooms, views onto oval for spectators, storage, modern kitchen and appliances.

Greens pump up port rail plan By Benjamin Millar

1157676-AM41-14

A project that could take thousands of trucks off inner-west streets has been left languishing while the state government pursues its privatisation of Melbourne’s port. The $58 million Port Rail Shuttle proposes shifting freight between Swanson Dock and three inland container terminals, and has been in the pipeline since 2007. The freight rail shuttle could take an estimated 3500 trucks each day off city roads. Despite already accepting $38 million in federal government funds and allocating $20 million from its own 2014-15 budget for the shuttle, the state government has effectively abandoned the project while it tries to privatise the Port of Melbourne. Western suburbs Greens MP Colleen Hartland has slammed both current and previous governments over the delay. “The Labor government has a cheap and quick solution to remove more than half the trucks from our local streets, and they have dumped it,” she said. Ms Hartland last week told Parliament the people of Yarraville and Footscray put up with pollution, noise and road safety risks from thousands of port-bound container trucks on a daily basis. “It’s an absolute outrage that the Labor government is willing to consider making motorists and governments pay $5.5 billion for the Western Distributor proposal, when there is a far more affordable and effective solution available.”

A spokesman for Roads and Ports Minister Luke Donnellan said the government still supported a freight rail proposal at the port. “The Port Rail Shuttle is one concept that may lead to improved rail modal share at the Port of Melbourne, but there are a range of other potential initiatives,” he said. “The government will pursue these in conjunction with the Port of Melbourne lease transaction.”

‘‘

There is a far more affordable and effective - Colleen Hartland solution

’’

The successful bidder would be required to protect rail corridors inside the port and consider rail options during its lease term. Victoria University logistics expert Hermione Parsons warns port privatisation could leave taxpayers facing an expensive compensation bill. Ms Parsons on Monday told Victoria University’s Port Privatisation in Australia forum that container capacity at the Port of Melbourne would be reached in the next 20 years. “Currently, the privatisation proposal exposes Victorians to a massive compensation payout if a second container port is developed in the next 50 years,” Ms Parsons said. Public hearings into the proposed lease of the Port of Melbourne began yesterday and continue today.

Keith Prentice is retiring from a bakery his family started in 1951. (Mathew Lynn)

Keith says good pie Yarraville has seen the end of an era with Keith Prentice moving on from Heather Dell bakery. Keith 61, has stepped aside from the business 64 years after his grandmother, Meg Prentice, opened the Anderson Street bakery in 1951. “I came down when I was 21 and I’ve been here six days a week ever since,” he said. After learning the tricks of the trade Mr Prentice eventually took over the bakery from his grandmother, ensuring traditional favourites such as the Swiss pineapple cake and Neenish tarts faithfully lived on. The striking window displays and timeless treats have stood the test of time, Heather Dell surviving every food fad and fashion by staying true to a focus on quality and customer care. Mr Prentice said the lead-up to his departure

last weekend left him with mixed emotions. “You don’t stay somewhere for 40 years unless you’re surrounded by fantastic people,” he said. “You become friends with your customers. In 40 years I don’t think there’s been a day I haven’t given 100 per cent to what I’m doing.” But the time has come to hang up the apron and spend more time with family, including two grandchildren in Western Australia. “I’ll be there for the three-year-old’s birthday. That means so much to me,” Mr Prentice said. He assures customers the Heather Dell is in safe hands under the ownership of a local brother and sister, who have vowed to keep the favourites flowing.

‘Little house of horrors’

Bomb scare closes street

By Benjamin Millar A derelict house in Braybrook that attracts squatters and heavy drug users has neighbours fearing for their safety. The Hancock Crescent house has been left derelict for more than two years despite regular complaints by residents to police and Maribyrnong council. It has been attacked by taggers and has a number of smashed windows. The yard is used as a regular dumping ground.

‘‘

It’s infested with rats. It’s a disgusting mess

’’

- Denise Meredith

Neighbour Denise Meredith said the house and property had dumped rubbish, used syringes and rats, and smelled of rotting and human waste. “It’s infested with rats,” she said. “It’s a disgusting mess. There are squatters there; there’s no sewerage and it reeks of urine and faeces. “Residents are frightened to live around there.” Ms Meredith said she also feared for the health and safety of anyone squatting in the property. “Residents have been trying to get something done and have been contacting council for some time, but nothing has been done about it,” she said. Maribyrnong council sustainable development director Nigel Higgins said the council had received and acted on numerous complaints about the house in the past year. He said the council had issued a number of

clean-up notices, which the property owners had acted on. “But rubbish has built up again and further notices were issued on the owners,” he said. “They failed to comply and the property remained in an unsightly condition, despite a 30-day timeframe to clean it up.”

NEWS

Contractors hired by the council have been working since last week to clean up the property. The council is taking legal action against the owners for failure to comply and to recoup the cost of the clean-up. Star Weekly was unable to contact the owners.

An Altona Meadows street was blocked off for almost seven hours because of a bomb scare last Saturday. The Victoria Police bomb response unit was called to Hook Street about 10am after a resident saw a suspicious package under a hatchback parked in a carport at their house. The squad used a robot to examine the suspected bomb. The area was deemed safe and the street reopened at 4.50pm. Police have not revealed what the suspicious item was, except to say it was not an explosive. Hobsons Bay’s Inspector Michelle Young said people were encouraged to report anything that might be a bomb. “I think one of the main messages is that if residents locate anything they feel resembles an explosive device, they don’t touch it, they call police,” she said. “We have a response to incidents like that, whether it’s deemed to be real or not. “If people find something, don’t touch it, leave it there. “We’ll attend and assess, so it goes into a standard type of response where the chemist will come out, the bomb squad will come out. “Whether it was real or not, in any event it’s more about people feeling confident to leave the device and call police. A response will occur.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Grocer rips out parking machine By Goya Dmytryshchak

IGA’s Tim Wisdom says customers should not have to pay for parking. (Goya Dmytryshchak)

The new owners of Altona’s IGA have ripped out the parking machine from their Pier Street supermarket. The store was taken over by Metcash last month. The move comes as Hobsons Bay council trials free parking in Williamstown to help struggling Nelson Place traders, and as Maribyrnong council uses security patrols to guard new meters in Yarraville which were vandalised twice in a fortnight. Altona IGA spokesman Tim Wisdom said

paid parking had cost the business. “The store was owned originally by an independent retailer and he, unfortunately, had to exit the business for financial reasons,” he said. “We’ve taken over the store, getting it running so the community can shop here again. “The important part for us was to remove any kind of barrier where a customer would have to pay for parking.” Mr Wisdom said Metcash felt paid parking deterred shoppers. “If you come to shop at IGA you shouldn’t have to pay for parking,” he said.

Mr Wisdom said some of the people parking at IGA were not customers, but that wasn’t a problem. “I know local gym members are using the park, and [customers from] the cafe across the road are using the carpark, but it’s not an issue as long as it’s not full and our shoppers can find somewhere to park,” he said. Hobsons Bay council is waiving $3-an-hour parking fees in Nelson Place, Williamstown, from Monday to Thursday until the end of October. Parking is free between Thompson and Pasco streets, and in Syme Street.

Cops smash into home Special Operations Group police used a battering ram to smash their way into a West Footscray house on Friday. Heavily armed police arrived at the house in First Street about 1pm, hunting for a man in relation to a violent home-invasion in Caroline Springs. Police used a loudspeaker to repeatedly order a man to leave the house with his hands in the air. About 2.15pm, police drove an armoured vehicle through the front fence and used a battering device attached to the vehicle to break down the front door. A man and a woman, their hands in the air, then left through the smashed doorway. The man, a 30-year-old from Kings Park, was wanted for questioning over an aggravated burglary in Caroline Springs on August 27. Police allege two men armed with a metal pole and a gun kicked in the front door of a

Barn Elms Parade home about 10.30pm. A man and a woman and their three children were home at the time. The woman hid behind the kitchen counter while the man was told to lie on the floor. One intruder allegedly pointed the gun at him and fired a shot in his direction, hitting the wall behind him, near where the wife was hiding. Both men then fled and were last seen running east towards Caroline Springs Boulevard. Police are yet to detail any charges against the arrested man.

VCAT overrules on child work card By Goya Dmytryshchak A man convicted of cultivating 200 kilograms of cannabis at a Werribee property and at his Altona North home has received a workingwith-children card so he can drive a bus. The secretary to the state Department of Justice opposed the move. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal last week overturned the decision and ordered the secretary to issue a card. VCAT deputy president Heather Lambrick said she was satisfied a reasonable person would allow their child to have unsupervised contact

with the man and that his engagement in childrelated work did not pose an unjustifiable risk to children. The secretary had emphasised that the man grew cannabis at his home, where his children were present and where he presumably used it in front of them. The man denied that his children were aware of the cannabis. In 2012, at age 50, the man was sentenced by the Melbourne County Court to a minimum of two years’ jail for cultivating a commercial quantity of cannabis as well as cultivation for personal use.

‘‘

[He] does not suffer from any mental illness

- Heather Lambrick

The court was told that he needed cannabis to alleviate the pain of a back ailment. Ms Lambrick said she accepted that he “was suffering chronic pain that was affecting every aspect of his life and was desperate for relief”. “[He] does not suffer from any mental illness, long-term drug or alcohol misuse, or

have pressing financial concerns,” she said. “His pain is now appropriately managed.” The man’s employer since 1989 “remained loyal” to him, enabling him to keep his job while on bail and be re-employed upon release from prison. The head of the Albanian Australian Islamic Society provided the tribunal with a testimonial for the man. “The reasonable person would have regard to the fact that he has worked as a bus driver, exposed to children for many years, without previous incident,” Ms Lambrick said.

Alice is a shoo-in for mischief By Charlene Macaulay Like many girls, Alice has a thing for shoes – eating shoes, that is. So, when the four-year-old English bull terrier munched her way through half of one of owner Ben Portelli’s work boots last month, he and wife Janiece didn’t think it would result in life-or-death vet surgery costing $8200. “I came home and she had the shoe in her dog house, but there were bits of leather around her kennel so I thought maybe she hasn’t actually eaten anything,” Mrs Portelli said. A week later, the Seabrook pair rushed Alice to the emergency ward at the University of Melbourne Vet Hospital at Hoppers Crossing after she started throwing up bile. Abdominal X-rays revealed three metal shoelace hooks in Alice’s stomach and intestine. An emergency surgery and anaesthesia team were called in to remove the hooks. “The surgeon rang me to say she had a 20 per cent chance of making it through the night,” Mrs Portelli said. “I was really upset and the next day she had to be put on oxygen because she wasn’t doing so well. “I went in later that day expecting to see a dog that was dying and out she walked, doing fantastically.” Operating surgeon Takanori Sugiyama said Alice made a miraculous recovery after five days in intensive care, and her two-week follow-up visit showed her wound had completely healed. Dr Sugiyama said it was common for dogs to eat household items and clothes, but Alice’s boot snack had caused significant damage to her intestines. “Alice is a lucky girl to be healthy and happy again,” Dr Sugiyama said. The surgery set back the Portellis $8200,

but Mr Portelli said he would pay it again in a heartbeat. “I wouldn’t hesitate; I’d sell whatever I had if I couldn’t afford it. “It’s amazing – we don’t know how she survived.” Mr Portelli said Alice had a penchant for

chewing her way through shoes and other apparel, including belts and thongs. The Portellis said they would have to exercise extreme caution from now on – including hiding their shoe collections – to prevent any chance of a similar crisis arising again.

Guide to a new, sweat life

VU plans for birthday bash Victoria University has unveiled a program of events and activities to celebrate 100 years of providing education in Melbourne’s west. Federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne officially launched the centenary celebrations recently to an audience that included alumni who studied at the original Footscray Technical School from 1938. Student protesters had earlier clashed with security staff protecting Mr Pyne as he arrived to deliver his speech at the launch. Victoria University grew out of the Footscray Technical School, which opened in February, 1916. VU vice-chancellor Peter Dawkins said principal Arch Hoadley took up the challenge 100 years ago to offer education opportunities to the area’s diverse communities. “Today, we continue to rise to new challenges to support skills and job growth, and improve access to education across Melbourne and the western region,” he said. Program highlights across 2016 will include a centenary dinner in the National Gallery of Victoria’s Great Hall, a centenary ball for past and present members of the VU community, and a VU homecoming weekend for staff and students of VU’s predecessor institutes.

One of most severe effects will be an increase in heatwaves - Jane Rawson

(Damjan Janevski)

A Footscray writer is helping prepare people for life in a world of climate change. Former environment editor of The Conversation, Jane Rawson (pictured), has joined with James Whitmore – her replacement in the role – to co-write The Handbook: Surviving and Living with Climate Change. The award-winning author notes that urban dwellers may feel safe from some of the effects of climate change, such as bushfires and severe frosts, but the problem will still impact dramatically on urban communities. She points out the likelihood of increased pressure on water and electricity supplies, disruptions to food supplies, rising sea levels and the risk to life of longer, hotter heatwaves. “There are definitely some unknowns about the effects climate change will have, but we do know one of the most severe effects will be an increase in heatwaves,” Rawson said. “They already kill more people than fire and flood.” The guide aims to provide practical advice on how people can begin to adapt now and prepare for the physical, mental and emotional challenges associated with climate change. The handbook discusses ways to provide your own food, power and water, ideas on how you can still get around, and new ways to think about home and possessions. “We feel while governments have put a little bit of work into reducing emissions, we don’t think there is a lot of adaptation work in this country.”

Month of the legends By Goya Dmytryshchak A Williamstown North business is restoring an EJ Holden for the EJ Whitten Foundation to raise awareness of men’s health during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Bodymaster Prestige Paint and Panel, co-owned by Declan McKearney and partner Samantha Martin, have set themselves the hard task of restoring the vehicle in time to be auctioned at the EJ Whitten grand final luncheon on September 30. “Cars is what I do and that’s when I came up with the idea to restore an EJ Holden for the EJ Whitten Foundation,” Mr McKearney said. “We have had about nine weeks. I may have bitten off more than I can chew, but we’ll chew as hard as we can and get it done.” EJ Whitten Foundation ambassadors and AFL legends Billy Brownless, Robert ‘Dipper’ Dipierdomenico, Sam Kekovich, Doug Hawkins, Russell Gilbert and Ted Whitten jnr have pitched in to help restore the car, donated by Rare Spares. The restoration is being filmed for a TV show to be called Resto my Ride. This year marks the 20th anniversary since the death of Footscray AFL legend EJ (Mr Football) Whitten. “Given it’s such a significant year for the foundation and that the car is being auctioned at the end of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we simply had to get it done for the foundation this year,” Ms Martin said. “We’re donating the entire car, so what they make for it goes directly into prostate cancer research and men’s health initiatives through the EJ Whitten Foundation.” One in nine Australian men will develop prostate cancer, the second-most-common form of cancer in men.

Council moves on crowing Rooster owners in Hobsons Bay will need a permit to keep their feathered friends if local laws are revised as proposed. A report presented at Tuesday night’s council meeting proposes that a council officer inspect chicken coups to ensure compliance with local laws and notify adjoining neighbours, seeking written confirmation that they don’t object to a rooster. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, Seaholme’s Diana Rice has made a submission opposing any ban on keeping roosters. Ms Rice manages the crowing of her silver-spangled Hamburg, named Jack, by putting him in a box each night. The council received 18 complaints about crowing roosters last year. Ms Rice said this represented one complaint for every 1700 households – and none were about Jack. The council officer’s report did not propose a total ban on roosters, unlike most metropolitan councils. “The majority of inner metropolitan councils prohibit the keeping of roosters and, in some cases, penalties apply,” the report stated. It proposed that, using the revised law, the council would investigate any rooster noise complaint. “According to research … crowing is activated by a rooster’s circadian rhythm … rather than by light. This means that a rooster will still crow if kept in total darkness, although the crowing may be reduced,” it stated.

Solid on rock and roots Former Goanna frontman Shane Howard (pictured) is playing at Newport on Friday, marking the re-launch of the Newport Fiddle and Folk Club’s Live at Newport music series. The Shane Howard Trio will perform songs from the Deeper South album, a fusion of folk and Celtic genres. “It’s a bit like Ulysses returning from the Trojan War, you know,” Howard said. “He’s older, he’s wiser, he’s riddled with self-doubt, he’s not quite sure about his place in the world and he’s not quite sure where the world is at. And I guess I feel a bit like that myself.” Howard recently entered the spotlight when the group Reclaim Australia used Goanna hit Solid Rock to promote its cause. Howard, a descendent of Irish refugees, had just returned from a six-week stint in Ireland

when told about the use of his song at Reclaim Australia rallies. “I was confronted and upset by that … it was a song that spoke out strongly about the racism that Aboriginal people had experienced,” he said. “I did some research on Reclaim Australia and there’s some very disturbing philosophy at the back of that. My people came here from Ireland in the early 1850s as refugees from the Great Hunger when 1.5 million people starved to death and 1.5 million fled,” Howard said. “For us to turn our backs … and say we don’t want refugees coming into our country is an absolute dereliction of our history.” The Shane Howard Trio performs at Newport Bowls Club at 7pm.

Carpark too ‘scary’ for councillor By Goya Dmytryshchak While most park-and-ride carparks in Hobsons Bay are overflowing, one in Altona North is so desolate and neglected it has been described as scary. Cr Sandra Wilson is calling on Public Transport Victoria (PTV) to stop neglecting the carpark, off Millers Road, which services the 232 bus route to Queen Victoria Market. Cr Wilson recently used the carpark and said she was too scared to return to her car.

‘‘

I’m staggered at the neglect of this … facility in Hobsons Bay

’’

- Sandra Wilson

“Arriving on my return journey from the city at 7pm, my car was the only one left in this dark, desolate carpark,” she said. “I had an instant feeling of unease and vulnerability. “The bus driver shared my concern by letting me off near my car and not driving to the bus stop until I had reached it.” She said the carpark was poorly lit as lightpoles appeared not to be working and it was badly maintained, with cracked pavements. Burnout marks point to recent hoon activity, while glass from smashed car windows is scattered on the ground. There are cameras, but these point towards the grafitti-covered bus shelter instead of the carpark. “I’m staggered at the neglect of this park-and-ride facility in Hobsons Bay,” Cr Wilson said.

Cr Sandra Wilson at the Miller Road carpark she considers to be frightening. (Mathew Lynn)

“The neglect and lack of safety for commuters is turning people away from using the 232 bus service, which is a really direct and quick route to the city. “Public transport options are already reduced for our community because of the

poor train service on the Altona loop. This neglect just adds insult to injury and I question whether the government or PTV are serious about improving public transport for our community. “I ask that PTV improve the safety at this

park-and-ride facility as a priority before something serious happens.” Cr Wilson raised the issue at Tuesday night’s council meeting. PTV spokesman John Lindsay said: “PTV has noted the concerns and will investigate .”

Truly Remarkable Stephen Linnell discovers there’s more to Queenstown, New Zealand, than skiing and bungy jumping It is known as the epicentre of adrenalin-fuelled activities. And for good reason. But if you’re like me and jumping out of a plane or from a perfectly good ledge into a rocky abyss is not your thing, then there’s still no shortage of amazing and interesting things to do in Queenstown, New Zealand. The views Irresistible. Wondrous. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe the views in and around Queenstown.

Built around an inlet on Lake Wakatipu, an 80-kilometre stretch of crystal-clear water. Queenstown’s scenic beauty rivals any location around the world. Perhaps the best spot to take it all in is from Bob’s Peak, 450 metres above the township. From there, the ski fields of Coronet Peak extend to your north, while the iconic Remarkables mountain range fills your senses to the east. To the south-west, Cecil and Walter peaks rise almost in unison to give you a truly remarkable vista – one you never tire of absorbing.

Zip-lining We took the gondola ride up to Bob’s Peak, then zip-lined through the trees back down the mountain – an experience in itself. The three-hour, six-line tour was the best and most exhilarating and fun way to return to the base of the mountain. The Ziptrek Ecotour offers a two-hour, four-line starter tour or the three-hour, six line tour. We found that to be the best, most exhilarating and fun way to return to the base of the mountain.

The longest line is 300 metres (they save the best until last), descending 30 storeys at speeds of up to 70 kilometres an hour Winery tours New Zealand’s Central Otago region is known for its distinct Pinot Noirs and white varietals. With so many tours to choose from, I started with lunch at Wild Earth, in the Kawarau Gorge, about a 40-minute drive from Queenstown. Lunch was a serving of five dishes, including salmon, chicken and pork – which was

specifically created to match their range of wines. And it didn’t disappoint. The food was cooked beautifully in an old French wine barrel transformed into an outdoor barbecue. From there, we travelled back to the Gibbston Valley Winery, home to New Zealand’s largest wine cave, and enjoyed some local cheese tasting. The five-hour tour was certainly a highlight of the trip. Informative, delicious, addictive. Dining We found the dining experience in Queenstown almost as good as the surrounding views. The Coyote Grill Mexican restaurant in Shotover Street had the best churros dessert. With a side of vanilla ice-cream, the churros were covered in a lemon and tequila sauce. The Tanoshi Teppan and Sake Bar off Cow Lane quickly became a favourite. Order the grilled scallops with wasabi mayo. If you’re really hungry, the Flame Bar & Grill along the waterfront on Beach Street will appease any appetite, particularly if you like pork ribs in a delicious sauce. And for something more cultural, try the Blue Kanu, a “Polynasia” restaurant that blends Pacific and Asian style cultures and food. The ambience, décor and food make it memorable. And, of course, there’s the Fergburger. Located in Shotover Street, it’s not hard to find. Just look for the long line of people outside crowding the footpath. Our 25-minute wait was worth it, though. You just can’t go past a Fergburger in Queenstown.

Greg Hocking Elly Partners: 8387 0000 Auction: September 12 at 11.30am

With rendering and a stacked-stone feature facade, this is a house that’s been stylishly updated inside and out to suit modern lifestyles. A fully self-contained bungalow out the back is a great bonus, ideal for guests, a teen or extended family. Three bedrooms (the main with walk-in wardrobe), a smart modern bathroom and laundry are ranged down the right-hand side of the house, with living zones of a separate open-plan lounge, the kitchen and dining areas down the other side through to the rear. Glossy, large-format floor tiles delineate the living areas, and a Coonara wood heater and split-system take care of climate control. The kitchen is stylish, with a combination of timber-look and burgundy cabinetry, a window splashback, 900mm gas cooktop and wall oven. A large covered pergola links to the backyard. A sliding gate opens to a concrete driveway leading to a carport.

First-home buyers, switched-on investors and young couples may be bidding against one another to score this house on a corner block within a walk of schools, shops and train station – a location that’s fast becoming a sought-after. Entry is into a lounge room with fireplace, floorboards, ornate plaster ceiling and picture rails bisecting two-tone paintwork. To the right of entry are the three bedrooms, including the main with wardrobe, floorboards and appealing olive wall paint accented in white. They share a sparkling modernised bathroom. Linking with a family room (laundry and separate toilet next door), the kitchen has checkerboard flooring, white cabinetry, timber benchtops and stainless-steel dishwasher and gas cooker. Loft storage, 1.5kW solar system, gas heating, air-conditioner and off-street parking for three cars are other features.

Sweeney Yarraville: 9689 8388 Auction: September 19 at 1pm

Price: $1.075 million Private sale

Price: $310,000 – $330,000

Bay views are just the start of the delights in store here, where parquetry floorboards, crisp white decor and architectural features, such as double-height ceilings, abound. The three upstairs bedrooms each have built-in wardrobes and are extra-big, including the main, which has balcony access and a sleek en suite with double shower. A smart main bathroom is also here. The downstairs living zone is all about style, with a lounge-dining area on entry that includes bespoke cabinetry, and a separate meals zone adjoining the kitchen beyond. The compact but perfectly formed kitchen is all white and has all mod cons. It links seamlessly with a timber deck with retractable awnings in the north-facing backyard. Hydronic heating, a downstairs powder room and a double garage, accessed from a back right-of-way, are other drawcards.

Built by Burbank Homes about 10 years ago, this semi-detached villa apartment with A-grade body corporate service is bigger than average, and has private entry via a raised porch. The living zone beyond the front door is tiled (large format) at the kitchen end, and carpeted in the sitting zone. The kitchen includes a stone benchtop, pantry cupboard, top and bottom cupboards in white, a mosaic-tiled splashback, underbench oven, electric cooktop and dishwasher. The bedroom at the back has a walk-in wardrobe and, across the way, there’s a sparkling bathroom with large shower and European-style laundry in a separate space. A paved courtyard at the back is beautified with garden beds, and there’s a parking spot in the basement. Yarraville village is at the doorstep.

Price: $880,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $960,000

Behind its Edwardian facade, this house has heritage with style. Originally built in the 1920s, this near century-old house has many well-preserved original features, including intricate cornices, picture rails and Tasmanian oak polished floorboards. Through its leadlight-panelled front door, the hallway is flanked by two bedrooms on the left and a lounge room or potential fifth bedroom on the right. Ornate cornices, a pressed tin ceiling in the front lounge room, a decorative

fireplace with brick hearth and large bay windows add character. The hall opens onto another living space, which also has a fireplace and brick hearth, and the main living area spreads out from here. The meals and dining zone is part of an extension that has maintained the original characteristics of the house and added some contemporary flair. The slate-floored kitchen is large and has a 900mm industrial dual cooker, Bosch dishwasher, tiled splashback, laminate benchtops and plenty of storage.

The adjoining dining area is bathed in natural light from large windows and sliding double doors to a paved area and a covered alfresco area. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a ground floor bathroom, laundry and a second toilet easily accessed from outdoors, tucked under the staircase. Two more bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, one also with a walk-in wardrobe, are on the second storey of the extension. These upstairs rooms both have a split-system and ceiling fans.

Ducted heating, air-conditioning, two water tanks (with a combined storage of 4100 litres), and a lock-up shed accessed from the garden are additions. There is off-street parking along a side driveway. Only minutes from The Strand waterfront and Newport station, within walking distance of shops and services, this dwelling has everything new owners are looking for, and more, including architect-drawn plans for another bathroom and theatre room.

SPORT Altona’s little athletes get big dose of inspiration There is a spring in the step of the youngsters at Altona Little Athletics Centre. The new track-and-field season begins on October 3, less than a month away. The centre held it first open day of the season on Saturday, with special appearances from two of Australia’s best athletics talents, Morgan Mitchell and Luke Mathews. Both athletes got their start at Altona, which showed them that if they dream big, they can achieve. “We’ve produced many state and national champions in the past, so we’re looking forward to finding the future stars,” ALAC president Dan Shield said. Mitchell had returned from the IAAF world

championships in China only days earlier. She was part of Australia’s 4x400-metre relay team, which finished sixth in their heat. Mitchell told young athletes at Altona she is focused on qualifying to represent Australia at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “I remember so clearly starting at Little Athletics and it’s only now, when I look back, I realise what an important part it played in where I am today,” Mitchell said. Mathews is one Australia’s pre-eminent 800-metre runners, with a personal best time of one minute 47 seconds. He also has the Australian Olympic team on his radar, but having just turned 20 knows it’s going to be tough to crack into the team.

“After finishing last season I’ve been training and racing in Europe, so I feel in pretty good shape,” Mathews said. Much to the surprise of many, Little Athletics is unique to Australia, starting in Geelong in 1964. It has brought on many elite sports people, including Joel Selwood (AFL) and Jarryd Hayne (ex-NRL and current NFL). “Little Athletics teaches kids so many important skills, which are the basis for all sports,” Shield said. To give athletes every opportunity, the Altona centre offers multi-disciplinary coaching during the week. For more information on the Altona Little Athletics Centre, go online to www.altonalac.com.au.

City clings to promotion spot By Lance Jenkinson Altona City has lasted the distance in the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 3 north-west marathon. City clung on to second spot on the final day to claim the second automatic promotion spot behind Hoppers Crossing. City occupied second place for 13 weeks while a host of teams snapped at their heels. Upfield presented the greatest threat in the middle of the season. When they went back to the pack, local rivals Williamstown tried to hunt them down before Whittlesea United made a gallant late run. City knew all three points on the final day would guarantee them promotion to state league 2 and they took care of business with a stirring 2-0 win over Lalor United at Kim Reserve on Saturday. There was unbridled joy in the City camp after the game. “Great scenes,” City coach Sam Borg told Star Weekly. “We sang the song outside the dressing rooms. “There were a lot of people here today and everyone is in festive spirits. We’re on top of the world.” City were never under serious attack from Lalor. They had their defence in order and only had to find a way to the back of the net. The pressure-releasing first goal came early in the second half when Bobby Lojanica scored for the ninth time in seven matches. “He wasn’t even meant to play today,” Borg said. “He was under an injury cloud but gave us absolutely everything and was the difference.” Fittingly, the game’s sealing goal was scored by City’s regular captain Matt McKay, who came on as a second half substitute. McKay announced his retirement after making a decision to move abroad. The stand-in skipper was centre-back Ben Sardelic, the home-grown teenager who was arguably the most influential player on the field as he repelled most of Lalor’s attacks. Perhaps Sardelic, who has come back from two knee reconstructions, is a ready-made replacement for McKay. “No doubt about it, he would be the best player in the league,” Borg said. “He’s an Altona City junior, he’s only 19 and led the team out today. “When you’ve got a player like him, you can build the team around him.” It was an emotional day for Borg, who announced he was stepping down. He will remain involved in the club but was happy to vacate the position on a high note. “That was always the plan to see the year out and get us promoted,” he said. “For me, it’s been a journey, but it’s mission accomplished to get us back to division 2 and now we’ll support whoever comes in and work towards going forward again.”

What happened on FFV’s enthralling final day • Altona Magic missed out on the state league 1 north-west title by one point, despite walloping North Sunshine Eagles 4-0 at Larissa Reserve. Magic’s title hopes were extinguished after wins to Western Suburbs and Sydenham Park, leaving them in third place at the end of the season. Western Suburbs were the champions of this division. • It was a bitter-sweet day for Yarraville Glory in state league 2 north-west.

lack of efficiency in attack, which opened the door for Footscray to make a late run at the premiership. “We dominated everywhere except on the scoreboard,” Orr lamented. The Bulldogs trailed by two goals at three-quarter time, but found a way past Willis twice to level scores later on. The man who put Williamstown on the scoreboard first in the game would also score the match-winning goal – Tom Pike was the man of the moment with a late winner. Despite the scoreboard pressure, Orr said there was no panic in the Fearons’ camp.

“We were sort of sure in our mind what we could do and realised that, if we stuck to what we do, we’d get the result,” Orr said. “We were really dogged in that way.” Ben Newman and Aaron Lawman scored two goals each, noteworthy contributions in such a low-scoring game. Sean Clarke had an important role to play at the face-off after Noah Jenney injured a shoulder. It was a special day for Orr too, who joined his father, Michael, in winning premierships as both a player and coach at Williamstown. “I think we’re the first to do that as a father and son, so that was pretty nice.”

Porters carry off yet another title Newport’s decade of dominance has continued with a remarkable eighth premiership in 10 years in the Lacrosse Victoria women’s state league. The Porters overcame a stern challenge from arch-rivals Footscray to win 8-6 in the grand final at the Malvern Lacrosse Club on Saturday to make it back-to-back titles. Incredibly, the last 10 top-tier deciders have been between Newport and Footscray, with the Porters winning the lion’s share. Porters coach Sue Sofarnos told Star Weekly there had been little to separate the two sides down the years, but the Porters seem to rise to the occasion better in September. “It’s always tight,” she said. “If we don’t play to our best, we won’t beat them. “We just seem to have the wood on them when it comes to crunch time.” It was Newport’s 42nd consecutive appearance in the grand final and their 24th premiership in that span. It will be remembered for a wonderful performance of Marlee Paton, who returned home this season after a stellar career with Loyola University in the US. She scored three goals and showed her array of skills in winning the game’s MVP award. “She’s a class act – one of the top players in the world,” Sofarnos said. “A couple of her moves were magic and her work rate around the field is high class. “We’re so lucky to have her back this year after she’d been away for five years in college.” Hayley Sofarnos scored two goals and dominated centre possession. Elise Hussey, Jen Plumb and the youngest player on the field, Tori Naylor, 17, also scored. The Porters were able to nullify the impact of Footscray stars Sarah Mollison, Abbie Burgess and Steph Kelly and that went some way to securing the victory. “They’ve got some wonderful attackers,” Sue Sofarnos said. “We played some good defence but probably not as strong in some areas as I hoped we would, but it was enough. “The game wasn’t put away until the end. It was really exciting.” Lance Jenkinson

to see history made by two WRFL clubs last weekend, with Albanvale and Wyndhamvale celebrating their first senior grand final flags. Albanvale has faced its share of off-field challenges in recent years, but the passion of its core group of people on and off field has got them the ultimate prize. They were the best team in division 3 this year and did the job on grand final day. To John Thrush and the Cobras faithful, enjoy what you have achieved this year. Wyndhamvale Falcons finally made a grand final and brought home their first senior premiership cup. This is the result of years of planning and preparation on and off the field. Both clubs deserve the success and it’s something the players can share with the dozens of volunteers who help keep both clubs going. One point for all clubs: no one wants to see flares at local footy. Any supporters who want that are not welcome.

Saturday’s division 1 grand final between Deer Park and Werribee Districts at Avalon Airport Oval shapes as a beauty. Deer Park is in a third consecutive grand final and will be deserved favourites. Werribee Districts has done extremely well to make the big dance in its second season in this competition. Can they actually win it? The simple answer is yes. Deer Park will try to take the ascendancy early and impose itself physically as it did a few weeks back. But Werribee Districts will be ready for that as I’m sure they have thought long and hard about it. It should be a great day of local footy, with Spotswood playing Deer Park in the under-18 Tigers Cup and Hoppers Crossing v Sunshine in the reserves before the big one.

bowed out of the VFL finals against Collingwood last week, but Footscray and Williamstown are both still going. Willy had a great win over Sandringham and earned a week off, while the Doggies will face Essendon in an elimination semi-final at North Port Oval at 11.40am on Saturday. Then, of course, the AFL Bulldogs play Adelaide at the MCG on Saturday night, making it a very long day for Doggies fans. But if you win, who cares? It was interesting last weekend to watch two local guns, Jackson Viola and Braden Ferrari, play on each other in the Werribee-Collingwood game. More than anything it was great to see two young players from Hoppers Crossing playing at that level. I’m personally excited that the Bulldogs are in the finals this weekend. I wish them all the best. Kevin Hillier

Evan Willis has produced a match for the ages, guiding Williamstown to its first premiership since 2012 in Lacrosse Victoria men’s state league. The goaltender pulled off a raft of spectacular saves to be named the most valuable player for the Fearons in their edge-of-your-seat 7-6 grand final win over western suburbs rivals’ Footscray at Malvern on Saturday. It capped a fine season for Willis, who was also named the club’s best-and-fairest player. “He was brilliant,” Fearons’ coach Damien Orr told Star Weekly. “He must’ve had 12 saves for the game. He’s been working hard and deserved the plaudits he got.” Willis was just one component of a water-tight Fearons’ defence. The Fearons put up one of the lowest winning scores in grand final history, such was the dominance of the players at the back, including Sam Marquard, Huw Wilson, Chris Welsh and Matt Neumann-Duffin. The contrast between the Fearons’ first meeting with Footscray in the regular season, when the Bulldogs scored a massive 17 goals, to Saturday’s grit and grind could not have been starker. “That team scored 17 goals against us in the first round, and they only scored 19 against us for the rest of the year [in three further meetings],” Orr said. “I’d need to look back to the history of it … but that would be one of the lowest winning scores in a grand final in the modern incarnation of the game.” Williamstown was fairly dominant across the four quarters. The only trouble was their

VFL star sets sights on the big league It is one of the worst-kept secrets in VFL circles – Williamstown midfielder Adam Marcon is a seriously talented young footballer. Marcon had to wait until the age of 22 to get official recognition, gaining a Fothergill-Round Medal as the most promising young talent in the competition. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say … that I really had my eyes on this award,” Marcon said at the VFL presentation night on Monday night. “It’s a really prestigious one, and I always thought it would be great recognition among such great company. I know there are so many good players in the VFL this year, so it’s an absolute honour to win it.” The annual award has been going since 1989 and most medal-holders over the past 27 years have gone on to play in the big league. Marcon’s

best mate, Kane Lambert, received the medal when the pair played with the Northern Blues. Lambert was drafted last year and will play for Richmond in its elimination final against North Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday. Marcon is hoping to follow in his mate’s footsteps and get drafted this year. “It’s an inspiration to see him go on to bigger and better things, and I take a lot of satisfaction out of how well he’s going,” he said. Marcon will have a big final of his own to play in 10 days’ time as an important cog in the Seagulls’ midfield when they run out for a preliminary final against either Footscray or Essendon. Which team they play will be decided in the semi-final this weekend. “It was very important to set ourselves up with a win [over Sandringham in the

qualifying final on Sunday],” Marcon said. “We just managed to hold off a fast-finishing Zebras team. I guess the next 10 days are probably more about freshening up and looking at the game plan.” It was a big night for the Seagulls at the VFL night of nights. Dylan Conway emerged with the A. Todd Medal for best-and-fairest in the AFL’s Victoria development league. There were team-of-the-year honours for Marcon, Peter Faulks, Nick Meese, Mitch Banner, Sam Dunell, Andrew Gallucci and captain Ben Jolley. The Liston Trophy vote count was a thriller with Dunell on 14 votes, one of four runners-up to North Ballarat’s Nick Rippon, who polled 15. Lance Jenkinson

Gulls hold on in the wind By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown survived a late scare to hold off Sandringham by seven points on Sunday to book a spot in the VFL preliminary final. The Seagulls led by 48 points at three-quarter-time of the qualifying final, but the Zebras made a late comeback with a strong breeze and a partisan home crowd behind them at Trevor Barker Beach Oval. Six unanswered Zebras goals made for a heart-stopping finish, but the Seagulls ramped up their defensive pressure late to deny the local side’s bold bid for a direct passage to the penultimate weekend of finals. “It was pretty nerve-racking at the end,” Seagulls football manager Chris Dixon told Star Weekly. “We knew they’d come. They’re the best last-quarter team in the competition and with the home crowd and gale wind behind them, it was all set up for a barnstorming finish. For us to hold on like we did, we’re rapt.” It was a day for the more workman-like performers. There were opportunities for a bit of individual brilliance going with the wind, but Dixon was more impressed with his players’ efforts against it. The Seagulls kept the Zebras scoreless in the opening term, so for them to get two goals against the run of play into the wind in the second term went some way to securing the victory. Those chances came through relentless team defence. “The two goals we scored into the wind in that quarter were pretty important,” Dixon said. “Not just the fact that you score but the psychological factor of scoring into the wind gives everyone a big boost. “It’s was also a letdown to the opposition when there were only three goals kicked to that end all day. It was just smothers, chase down tackles and everyone was defending like everything was on the line.” Jack Charleston produced a lionhearted performance for the Seagulls. The small defender kept livewire Zebras forward Trent Dennis-Lane to just one goal and did all the one-percenters asked of him by coach Andy Collins. “I thought he played one of his better games for the club and that’s a huge wrap for him because he’s played a lot of good games for us,” Dixon said. “His efforts, particularly late in the game, were just phenomenal. “Smothers, desperation tackles, just little things like knocking the ball to the boundary at critical times. “The backline held up exceptionally today when you consider the onslaught they had in the last quarter.” Willie Wheeler’s burst from the stoppages was a feature of the Seagulls’ midfield. Adam Marcon and Ben Jolley had plenty of the ball, thanks largely to the work of ruckman Nick Meese, who fought one-out against Zebras bigs Tom Hickey and Lewis Pierce.

Sam Dunell was Williamstown’s leading vote-getter at the 2015 Liston Trophy count. (Damjan Janevski)

“Nick had 18 disposals, 56 hit outs, eight clearances and nine tackles,” Dixon said. “That’s a fair day out in anyone’s language.” Dylan Conway, Sam Dunell and Cameron Lockwood booted two goals each. The Seagulls have welcomed the week’s rest and will go on a scouting mission to the Footscray and Essendon semi-final, as they face the winner a week later. Their development league side will also be in action after they cashed in their double chance

after a 20-point loss to Box Hill Hawks in the second semi-final on Saturday. “I think the bye helps,” Dixon said. “It was a physical game today and it allows us to rest up. To get a week off now is the perfect time. “It’s such an even competition, the last thing we needed was to go to an elimination final with Collingwood, who will have a pretty strong team next week. “To know we’re one win away from a grand final is a pretty good position to be in.”

Promotions pile pressure on reserves Footscray had to cash in its VFL double chance after losing by 40 points to Box Hill Hawks in the qualifying final at Box Hill City Oval on Saturday. The Bulldogs fielded a significantly weakened side after the AFL arm of its operation suffered a number of injury setbacks on the eve of finals. It had the knock-on effect, and the Hawks feasted in the last three quarters, kicking 16 of the last 24 goals of the match to run out winners … a bitter pill after the Dogs had led by 13 points at quarter-time. With the Western Bulldogs on the verge of their first AFL finals campaign in five years, the VFL game may not have been a total wipe-out for a number of players, who had the chance to put their hands up for senior selection. Midfielder Lin Jong was Footscray’s most impressive performer, capping a great personal outing in the midfield with two goals. Ruckman Will Minson and goal-sneak Bailey Dale were two others to thrust their names forward for selection. Will Hayes was dangerous for the Bulldogs with four goals. Hayes polled the fourth-most votes (six) for Footscray at the Liston Trophy count on Monday night. Top-polling Bulldogs were the ever-consistent Nathan Hrovat (10), Lachie Hunter (nine) and Ayce Cordy (eight). Meanwhile, excitement is building across the west as the Western Bulldogs prepare for their AFL elimination final against Adelaide at the MCG on Saturday night. Supporters camped out to secure the best seats for the big game. The Bulldogs are calling on fans to march to the MCG as one ahead of the game against the Crows. They are hoping to turn Federation Square into a sea of red, white and blue at 5pm, before making the walk to the G. Meanwhile, one-time Western Bulldogs star Daniel Cross has played his last game in the AFL after finishing up with Melbourne last Sunday. Cross played 249 AFL games, including 210 with the Bulldogs, where he won a Charles Sutton Medal for club best-and-fairest. He also represented Australia in the international rules on two occasions.

Falcons soar to cup joy By Lance Jenkinson Wyndhamvale has broken its long-standing senior premiership drought with a 49-point win over West Footscray in the Western Region Football League division 2 grand final. After a controlled but nervy opening three quarters at Avalon Airport Oval on Sunday, the Falcons opened the floodgates with a six-goals-to-nil last term that sparked wild celebrations from the green and gold section of the crowd. Moments after the grand final, the Falcons confirmed they will sit down with league powerbrokers in the coming weeks to confirm their promotion to division 1. “We’ll be going up,” Falcons football manager Nathan Evans told Star Weekly. Wyndhamvale had its nose in front all day, but it wasn’t until the fourth quarter that it had any semblance of a comfort zone. The Falcons pressed forward at the start of the last term with Tito Nyawela finally making their time-in-forward-half dominance count on the scoreboard with a goal that took the margin out to 21 points. It would be the start of a charge of six unanswered goals, including three of spearhead Paul O’Shea’s five for the match. The Falcons had the chance to really lap up the moment, while the disconsolate West Footscray players knew they had inflicted their last significant blow a quarter earlier when they had got as close as seven points after trailing by 19 at half-time. Noa Fonua embodied the Falcons’ endeavour on his way to the Rex Swann Medal for best on ground. You simply did not stand in his way if you were a Rooster. “He’s a bull,” Evans said. “He’s see ball, gets

Cobras’ title win heals old wounds One year after a heartbreaking loss in the Western Region Football League grand final, Albanvale is now the champion. The Cobras won the division 3 premiership on Saturday, knocking off highly fancied rival Parkside 12.12 (84) - 7.7 (49) at Wootten Road Reserve. The win brought the club its first senior premiership, kickstarting what are sure to be days of celebration. Albanvale president Jason Curmi described the win as “special”. “It’s a brilliant feeling, it really is,” he said. “The boys are in fine form; it’s sensational. “A lot of these kids used to watch me play. “Now I’m watching them do amazing things for this club.” The Cobras were forced to fight for every ounce of their premiership glory after going into the half-time break trailing by five points. But Parkside kicked only two goals after half-time. The Magpies’ best were Clinton Hunter, Matthew Alderman, Igor Bera, John Eastoe and Brent Kelly. Hunter and Kelly kicked two goals each of the Magpies’ seven.
