Flag stirs old conflict By Benjamin Millar Maribyrnong council has rejected claims its decision to fly the yellow Co Vang flag of the former South Vietnam risks starting a “second Vietnam War” in Maribyrnong. The unanimous decision made at last week’s council meeting was met with enthusiasm by a packed public gallery, although one opponent has since warned the move is divisive. The yellow flag with three red stripes is seen to represent the Vietnamese diaspora, triggered by the fall of Saigon, now called Ho Chi Minh City, in 1975. Maribyrnong mayor Nam Quach said the move to fly the flag on special occasions at sites such as the Town Hall and Monument of Gratitude at Jensen Reserve came at the request of the Vietnamese-Australian community. “It marks the 40-year commemoration of Vietnamese settlement and the boat arrivals in Australia. We had people in the chamber crying tears of joy,” he said. Cr Quach, whose parents fled Saigon and settled in Australia as refugees, said multiculturalism required embracing difference and celebrating proud heritages. “It’s important to recognise not only that heritage but also the future,” he said. But Maidstone resident Anh Vo said the decision was an insult to the ‘red flag’ community aligned with Vietnam’s communist regime. The army veteran, who arrived in Australia in 1984, told Star Weekly a large number of Vietnamese traders and residents in Maribyrnong were ‘red flag’ supporters. “Maribyrnong will open a second Vietnam war in Melbourne,” he said. “When you come here to Australia you should leave your troubles behind. When you become an Australian citizen you need to fly only the Australian flag.” Flying the Co Vang flag has sparked division in the Sydney council of Fairfield, but it occurred without incident in a number of other locations in Australia and across the US. Footscray RSL president Long Viet Nguyen said it was an appropriate recognition of the journey of thousands of Vietnamese people in Australia. “Australia is a free, democratic country and that’s why we live here,” he said. “At the

moment, many people in Vietnam want to leave.” Mr Nguyen, who lost a brother in the war and spent five years locked up before fleeing to Australia in 1983, said the flag recognised the resistance against the communist north. Viv Nguyen, vice-president of the Victorian
chapter of Vietnamese Community in Australia, said the flag was an important means of celebrating the contribution of the Vietnamese to Australia. “If people feel strongly about the red flag, good for them, but the [Co Vang] flag is not representative of another sovereignty,” she said.

“It represents a journey this community started from a very tough beginning.” Ms Nguyen said Maribyrnong was significant to the Vietnamese community as many refugees began their new lives at the Midway Migrant Hostel, now the site of Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre.

House prices, rents on the rise By Goya Dmytryshchak Altona North has recorded the fastest rising rents for units in Melbourne. Domain Group senior economist Andrew Wilson said the median rent in Altona North had risen 28.1 per cent to $365 a week in the six months to September. “There’s a perception, perhaps, that it’s gone under the radar a little bit,” Mr Wilson said. “There’s good, solid local amenities, still pretty close to the city and, you know, Altona
does have a beach. I think Altona, Newport, these areas, have just been to one side and I think there’s a discovering of these areas as being affordable. “I used to go down to Altona and Newport when I was young and I had friends who lived there, and it was always a bit of a working class, edgy sort of place. But I think it’s shaken that off quite considerably … and now it’s all part of that growing desire to be closer to the city and have an established neighbourhood environment,” Mr Wilson said.
Tony Gerace, sales director of Burnham Real Estate, said he believed Altona North was taking off because investors and developers were concentrating on the suburb. “There’s newer, bigger properties, townhouses, that are being offered which are probably $50 or $100 a week more expensive than your older established homes that were sitting there. Because the real estate market’s been so healthy and strong lately, everyone’s been doing developments.” REIV chief executive Enzo Raimondo
said the increases in rental income in Altona North reflected a significant interest in the inner west. “Altona North has seen a house price increase of almost 15 per cent in the past 12 months, to a median price of $660,000,” he said. “Clearly there’s strong buyer interest, and the higher rental income in Altona North reflects a similarly strong interest from tenants in this area. Altona has also seen strong growth, with the median price of units and apartments now $535,000.”
Stars of the film Tanna join West Footscray filmmaker Bentley Dean at Yarraville’s Sun Theatre to launch the film. (Benjamin Millar)
Movie novices take starring roles A West Footscray filmmaker has created history with the first-ever feature film made in Vanuata. Bentley Dean’s Tanna was filmed entirely on location on the Pacific island of Tanna and acted by the people of the Yakel tribe. The stars of the award-winning film were in Yarraville last Friday night to perform a traditional dance ahead of the film’s sold-out premiere screening at the Sun Theatre. Co-director Dean said the process began about a decade ago while he was in Tanna on assignment for Dateline. “I found myself on top of a very, very active volcano, marvelling at what a beautiful place
this was and thinking even back then that it would be a remarkable place to come back to, to learn more about,” he said. “It’s been an extraordinary experience, coming from the beginnings of this project.” Tanna was a hit at the prestigious Venice Film Festival last month, winning the International Critics’ Week audience award for best film and the critics’ prize for cinematography. Dean said the honours were a testament to the dedication of the film’s stars. “It’s in the language of the people there, acted by them, and it’s an extraordinary achievement. When we first arrived in the village of Yakel, they actually hadn’t seen a feature film. Now
they’re starring in one,” Dean said, adding that the tale of forbidden love was developed during the first two months he spent living in the village with his wife and two children. “I was told about a very controversial relationship two lovers had led in the 1980s that led to a profound change in their culture,” Dean said. “So it’s based on a true story … we screened it to them and it was an extraordinary experience. They hadn’t seen a cinema before and here they were watching themselves on two queen-sized sheets tied together in a tree.” Tanna screens nationally from November 5.
Police are hunting for a man who tried to abduct a 12-year-old girl after she stepped off a tram in Maribyrnong. The girl was riding the No.82 tram home from school last Wednesday when she noticed a man staring at her. She told police that when she got off the tram at the intersection of Edgewater Boulevard and Gordon Street about 4.30pm the man followed her. After almost 600 metres he grabbed her arm and said, “Let’s go”. The girl broke free of the man’s grip and ran home with the man giving chase. The girl said she locked the front door and hid inside the home as the man bashed on the door several times before leaving. Senior Constable Fahd Ahmed praised the girl’s actions but warned the situation could have been much worse. “We are treating it seriously as an attempted abduction,” he said. “It was extremely brazen and despicable. It’s a very persistent sort of offender.” Senior Constable Ahmed said the girl was very courageous but was terrified by the ordeal. The man, depicted above in a computer-generated image, is described as aged 36 to 42 and about 182 centimetres tall, with short spiked black hair in a Mohawk style and a large hooked nose. He was wearing a long-sleeved orange high-visibility shirt and dark-coloured work pants. Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000

Uni jobs cut as big guns fly out By Benjamin Millar Victoria University has defended senior management racking up tens of thousands of dollars in travel expenses while at the same time cutting jobs and courses. Staff raised the alarm over “exorbitant” travel and accommodation expenses for interstate and overseas trips since the start of 2014, which coincided with the slashing of about 300 jobs. A bulletin by the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) detailed examples of spending, such as $400 on chauffeur-driven limousines and $14,000 on accommodation and
travel on a three-week trip to the United States. NTEU VU branch president Paul Adams said the “blatant hypocrisy” of the spending between January 2014 and August 2015 – unearthed via a freedom of information request – had raised eyebrows across the campus. “We have been told the university is in a dire financial situation and all these cuts are needed, so to have senior management spending up big on hotels, travel and chauffeur-driven cars is extraordinary,” Mr Adams said. “I have received a number of emails from staff, who are angry and upset about it.” VU announced in April 2014 that it was
En pointe at Highpoint Highpoint shopping centre is inviting people to create their own jewellery as part of the glittering new 3D Jewellery Box. Created in collaboration with Melbourne design studio The Cutaway, the 3D installation has been inspired by iconic jewellery boxes of the past. The centrepiece of the space is a 1.5-metre-high, 2.4-metre-long sculpture of a brilliant cut diamond built from powder-coated steel and multi-coloured perspex. The 3D Jewellery Box was unveiled last week at an event hosted by actor Melanie Vallejo and Highpoint style ambassador Nadia Bartel. The Melbourne Ballet Company performed a dance choreographed specifically for the night by the company’s principal dancer
Sharon Fernandez. The dance opened with the nostalgic sounds of a wind-up jewellery box as the ballerinas circled the sculpture. Using a 3D printing pen, acclaimed Melbourne artist Kate Rohde produced an exclusive collection of jewellery pieces for the event. The 3D Jewellery Box will be at Highpoint shopping centre at Maribyrnong until Sunday. Visitors will be able to design their own jewellery using the high-tech 3D printing pens at ‘make your own jewellery’ stations.

cutting about 300 jobs in a bid to save up to $50 million by 2016. Mr Adams said there may be legitimate reasons for travel, but spending on luxury accommodation and business-class airfares while cutting jobs, services and classes could not be justified. A VU spokeswoman said an internal travel policy provided strict guidelines for
university staff to rationalise their need to travel and explain its adding of value to the university. “All bookings are made at the best possible price point through a central processing unit, to suit the needs of every individual travel request,” she said. The spokeswoman said that as the university was a national and international business with more than $400 million in revenue, travel was necessary for “networking, education, and sectoral participation”. “The costs which come with such travel are the costs of successfully doing business in our industry.”

Resident fights for park
Bites trigger snake warning
By Benjamin Millar
1157676-AM41-14
A campaign has begun to get a rare slice of open space in Footscray handed over to the community. Buckley Street resident Daniel Flood is fighting for the land at 96-100 Buckley Street, compulsorily acquired in 2011 for the $3.65 billion Regional Rail Link, to be turned into community open space. About 80 homes and businesses along and near Buckley Street, including the Footscray Senior Citizens Centre, were bulldozed to make way for the project. Surplus land not used when the rail link was completed will be sold to developers unless bought by a state government agency or Maribyrnong council. “There is no open space in the area yet there are going to be around 800 new apartments built around the site,” Mr Flood said. “It’s probably the last piece of governmentowned land around here.” The Regional Rail Link Authority has deemed 96-100 Buckley Street to be surplus, along with a 200-metre long strip stretching west from Middle Footscray station at 130-176 Buckley Street. RRLA spokesman Paul Frawley said the land had been offered for sale to other government agencies and Maribyrnong council as per state government guidelines. “Any land not purchased by another government body will be listed for public sale in the new year,” he said. Star Weekly reported in March that residents want 130-176 Buckley Street to be gifted to the community as a park. Footscray MP Marsha Thomson said she was willing to discuss the future of the sites with Maribyrnong council. “If council is interested

council would be interested in discussing the future of the land parcels. “[But] it’s important people realise council doesn’t own the land and there are many aspects to look at, such as safety and location,” he said. Mr Flood has started a Facebook page in support of his campaign at www.facebook. com/buckleystpark.
Pet owners are being warned to be vigilant after a number of snake bite cases and numerous sightings around Hobsons Bay this month. On Monday, a snake was spotted near Altona dog beach by Kristen Hurley, while she was walking her dogs. “A tiger snake crossed the path no more than two or three meters in front of us,” she said. “It was headed for the beach. A week earlier, another visitor to Altona dog beach posted a photo on Facebook of a tiger snake in the seaweed. Altona Vet Clinic recently treated one dog for a snake bite and referred two other pets for emergency treatment. Lort Smith Animal Hospital has seen a record number of snake bite cases this October, with more than 20 cat and dog patients so far. Hobsons Bay chief executive Chris Eddy said the council used a licensed snake catcher to “safely remove the snake and release it into a conservation reserve”. “There are no formal guidelines as to where snakes may be relocated but, as snakes are territorial, the licensed snake catcher relocates them to a considerable distance from where they were caught.” “There have been sightings at all of our coastal reserves from Cyril Curtin Reserve in Williamstown through to Truganina Park and Skeleton Creek.” To contact the council’s snake catcher, call 9932 1000.

Much ado by the river
Women hurt in pothole falls
By Benjamin Millar
One woman broke her arm and another dislocated her shoulder after tripping in the same hole at an Altona North building site. Resident Geoff Mitchelmore demanded that Hobsons Bay council act after his wife broke her arm when she tripped in a hole in the footpath caused by building work on the corner of McArthurs Road and Duke Street. “The site is an absolute disgrace,” he said. “The fencing around it is on the footpath and the legs protrude onto the concrete. They’re a trip hazard,” Mr Mitchelmore said. “The concrete is all broken. There are holes in it for people to put their feet in and there’s dirt and rubbish all over the concrete. The place is an absolute mess and a danger for people to walk on.” Mr Mitchelmore said that after his wife’s injury, a neighbour dislocated her shoulder after tripping in the same hole. Hobsons Bay’s chief executive Chris Eddy said the council was aware of only one incident relating to one individual. “Council contacted the builder at this location as soon as we were made aware of any possible safety concerns,” he said. “On inspection, council was satisfied potential issues on the site had been addressed. Council’s contractor has also undertaken very minor asphalt repair works to the footpath near the construction site.” The builder, Orion Homes, declined to comment. Goya Dmytryshchak

was posted on exchange to the UK, based at RAF Brize Norton where he spent just over three years flying the British C-130J. His fiancée, Flight Lieutenant Courtney Kennedy, of No.3 Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, joined him on the trip and their son, Peter, was born in Oxford. In early 2013, Squadron Leader Harwood deployed with the British to Afghanistan and later that year deployed to the Falkland Islands
for six weeks. “My return to No.37 Squadron gives me the opportunity to give back and share what I learned from the RAF Hercules fleet to help adapt and improve the RAAF C-130J procedures,” he said. “It can be hard to spend so much time away from home, especially with a young family, but I’m lucky to have a fiancée who understands the air force and my unpredictable occupation.”
Children will be at risk if removing a level crossing at Williamstown North train station and building a flyover causes more motorists to use Williamstown as a route to Point Cook, according to a resident. Jason Bryce is calling on the state government to reconsider plans to remove the crossing. Instead, he wants the pedestrian underpass, which was removed by VicTrack last year, to be reinstated. Labor made a pre-election promise to remove the crossing in Ferguson Street, Williamstown, where two children died more than 20 years ago and a man suffered brain damage after being dragged by a train in 2011. Mr Bryce said he was concerned a flyover would attract more cars to the intersection, which is near three schools. “Yes, I’m concerned about the heritage and the village nature of Williamstown and I don’t want to see a motorway going through Ferguson Street or a big flyover going past our heritage homes and the Bristol Hotel,” he said. “But the safety of the kids is going to be put at risk if more cars are going to be coming through that intersection.” Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said the community overwhelmingly supported removing the level crossing. “I have every confidence that fixing these crossings is the right approach,” he said.

Boyhood dreams of flying across the world have become a reality for a former Westbourne Grammar student from Altona. Years of study and dedication have led Royal Australian Air Force pilot William Harwood to his current assignment, flying missions for the Australian Defence Force across the Middle East. Normally based at RAAF Base Richmond in New South Wales, Squadron Leader Harwood is a C-130J Hercules transport aircraft pilot with No. 37 Squadron. He’s presently commander of the C-130J Detachment with the Air Mobility Task Group based at Australia’s main support base. Squadron Leader Harwood is on his sixth operational deployment and is responsible for supervising close to 40 air force personnel, including aircrew and maintenance staff who keep the aircraft flying into Iraq and Afghanistan. “I regularly fly missions to keep my skills sharp and maintain awareness of the situation in-theatre,” he said. “Crew days can be long, lasting up to 14 hours, and we have worked up to 18 hours a day on some missions. It’s a demanding job.” Squadron Leader Harwood joined the Air Force in 2004, straight out of Westbourne Grammar as a direct-entry officer. When he completed his training in 2006, he landed in the job of his dreams – flying the Hercules. “I have always found flying the C-130J to be a particularly rewarding job; we are able to genuinely help people,” he said. “I am proud of our humanitarian assistance missions, such as the air drops we’ve been doing at Mount Sinjar in north-western Iraq or the work we did earlier this year in Vanuatu for Operation Pacific Assist after tropical cyclone Pam.” In October, 2011, Squadron Leader Harwood

Ghostly hoofbeats amid the ruins By Goya Dmytryshchak All that remains of the former Williamstown racecourse is a concrete stairway that leads nowhere and foundations buried in undergrowth. Williamstown historian Tom Ferris has spent years painstakingly unearthing the history of the track – which is actually in Altona – for his new book, Williamstown: A Great Metropolitan Racing Club. Mr Ferris’s great grandfather, Henry Hick, was one of the racecourse trustees and a Williamstown councillor for 26 years, twice mayor, who built many notable local landmarks. Mr Ferris said that, in 1857, ratepayers of the then-borough of Williamstown petitioned their council for a racecourse. “Their initial request was for an area of land just beyond Williamstown’s municipal boundary in the shire of Wyndham and north of Kororoit Creek,” he said. “When this request was refused, permission was given for an area of land south of Kororoit Creek where the first public races were conducted on Boxing Day, 1859, until 1864 when the land was acquired. “Thereafter, the initial request was granted and races were held from 1865 until 1940.” Phar Lap won the Underwood Stakes there in 1931. Floods in 1902 and 1918 caused meetings to be moved to Moonee Valley and Caulfield. One of the more bizarre stories associated with the course was the discovery of a child’s mummified body beneath the Governor’s enclosure. “The last races at Williamstown took place in February, 1940,” Mr Ferris said. “The Commonwealth government took

over the racecourse shortly after for defence purposes, from 1940 until 1946.” The course was used for basic army training during the war and the first migrants arrived in 1949, being housed originally at the racecourse, including in Nissen huts. The whole area was snake infested. “It’s well documented that John Wren was pulling strings behind the scenes with the state

government and they did reduce race meetings during the war years,” Mr Ferris said. Williamstown Racing Club had planned to resume racing at the course in 1948, but in 1947 a suspicious fire destroyed much of the public and members’ stands, and racing was never held there again. “It is worth a visit today just to stand and listen,” Mr Ferris said.
“You may hear the thunder of hooves of famous racehorses of the Australian turf, hear jockeys’ voices as they urge their mounts to the winning post, cries of bookies calling the odds and the roar of excited spectators.” Mr Ferris’s book is available from the Williamstown Historical Museum, 5 Electra Street, open from 2-5pm on the first and third Sundays of the month.

MY PLACE Uncle Roy Alexander, a member of the stolen generation, never knew his family. Yet Maribyrnong’s Citizen of the Year tells Benjamin Millar a quiet space on a bend of the Maribyrnong River shows the importance of belonging.
I do volunteer work for cohealth and a lot of other things. I’ve been doing it for 16 years now, providing food for Aboriginal elders, helping out RecLink football, all different programs. When I retired from work and they were shutting down a lot of the factories, I wondered what I was going to do with my time. But I saw the Reclink boys playing footy and it just grew from there. What’s the best thing about volunteering? I just love what I do. I remember my daughter asking me one day ‘why do you do all this volunteer work for nothing?’ I told her I’ve got all the boys down there I’m working with who have all sorts of problems. One came up to me one day and said ‘I don’t have to drink any more because I want to play footy with you’. That’s worth a million dollars to me. How did it feel to be named Maribyrnong’s Citizen of the Year this year? When I won Maribyrnong’s Citizen of the Year it was a big surprise. I said I do what I do because I love what I do, I don’t do it for recognition. They put me up for an award
with the Council on the Ageing and I got the Seniors Achiever Award. I like to go about what I do, just getting what I do done. Just being there for people is what it’s all about. I want to be there for people. Where’s your favourite local place and why? Pipemakers Park. I call the gumtrees there my family. That’s where I go and sit and chill out and think. I came across it one day and I just felt at ease. I come from the Mooroopna area so it must have something to do with the river and the trees. What do you like best about the area? It’s a very friendly place. I can go into Footscray and there will always be someone I can have lunch with. Who has inspired you in your life? Aunty Francine Riches and Pastor Tony Riches. They are Aboriginal leaders and have been very good in helping me over the years. I’ve not had family all my life. We have an Aboriginal church on Gordon Street and I have a connection there. People ask me what are Aboriginal people like, I say come to the church and meet us. I invite everybody to come down.

Bowel screen test call People are being urged to overcome their distaste for bowel cancer screening as figures show that two of every three people in Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong threw away free testing kits mailed to them in 2013 and 2014. Cancer Council Victoria representatives, Health Minister Jill Hennessy and Altona North GP Mukesh Haikerwal released figures last week for the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program for people from 50-65 who completed and returned the free kits. The Cancer Council’s Kate Broun said the faecal occult blood test, which detects microscopic amounts of blood in faeces, picked up 83 per cent of bowel cancer cases. Dr Haikerwal said the biggest obstacle to people completing the testing kits was that people didn’t like taking their samples.

“It’s not that hard and maybe we should just get our shit together,” he said. “In [Melbourne’s west] we do have a lower uptake.” Nine in 10 bowel cancers can be treated with early detection. Devika Jayawardene, who completed the test three years ago at age 50, said she only did the test in a bid to encourage her husband to do it. Hers came back positive and further tests confirmed she had bowel cancer. “Even though it’s messy it’s pretty important,” Ms Jayawardene said. “I want to get the word out bowel cancer can be treatable.” Ms Jayawardene urged people not to throw away their free kits. “If you can find it before cancer grows, there is treatment,” she said.

A Footscray opera singer could be jetting to New York after reaching the final of a prestigious scholarship competition. Elizabeth Lewis is one of six finalists in a concert this Sunday for The Opera Foundation for young Australians 2015 Lady Fairfax New York Scholarship. The winner will receive $43,000 and the chance to study in New York with internationally acclaimed vocal, language and movement coaches. Ms Lewis said singing had been a part of her life for as long as she could remember. “I always sang as a child,” she said. “When I was 12 I asked my mum if I could take lessons and when I was 15 I went to see an opera and thought ‘this is for me’,” she said. “Tosca was the first opera I saw and I thought ‘I could do that, let’s do it’. I decided on the spot.” The soprano’s big break came in 2009, when she was selected at the age of 21 to perform in the chorus in Verdi’s La Traviata for Opera Queensland. “A few singers with more experience really protected me; they taught me a lot about stage craft,” she said. “It was really exciting, I had a dresser, they put a wig on me – all these things I had never had.” Ms Lewis became a member of the Opera Q Studio in 2013 and joined Victorian Opera last year as one of their developing artists. This year she has already won the Sydney Opera House Opera Award and the More Than Opera development prize. But the chance to travel to New York is icing on the cake and could provide an enormous boost to her career. “There isn’t enough work for everyone here in Australia, so you have to go overseas,” she said. “I have a particular kind of soprano so I have

to go overseas to polish it off, because of the repertoire. When things are so far away for us, cost is very much a sticking point.” Ms Lewis has selected the song Divinités du Styx from Christoph Gluck’s opera Alceste for her performance before the judges at the Verbrugghen Hall of Sydney Conservatorium of Music on Sunday. Whatever the outcome, Ms Lewis is delighted her talents have been recognised. “I won’t have time to be nervous,” she said. “You run on adrenaline; it all becomes a blur.” Benjamin Millar

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir discovers a venue for the not-so-common burger “Cafe by day, burger bar By night” – that’s Mr Ed in Kensington. After checking it out in the former regard, it’s become a sometime coffee spot for me and perhaps I’ll grab one of their terrific pies or sweeties. Tonight we’re in the house to check out the burgers. Having looked at the varied ingredients and the prices, Bennie wondered aloud if the Mr Ed burgers would offer sufficient eating. And well he might … the prices range from $14.50 to $17.50. Among the ingredients listed for the nine burgers are pickled zucchini, Hereford beef, bourbon bacon jam, confit baby tomatoes, tomatillo salsa and shredded kale. Ooohhh, sounds fancy! But will we get a good feed or dainty, boutique burgers gone in a mouthful? Actually, at another time and on another visit I might choose to compile a meal just from the very alluring list of sides. How about rainbow slaw, purple congo/ kipfler/bullhorn pepper fry-up, or merlotpickled onion rings? Ahh, but not tonight – on with the burgers! Bennie goes the Buddha burger of minute eye-fillet, soft egg, kassler, oven-dried tomatoes, crumbled aged cheddar, house relish and roasted garlic aioli ($16). He loves it – a lot. He loves the way all the
MR ED Address: 285 Racecourse Road, Flemington Phone: 9376 6444 varied, high-falutin’ ingredients – including “the nicer than normal ham” and the runny egg – combine. This burger maven rates it a very solid 8.5 or even 9. Yes, that good. Only glitch, and it’s minor, is that he’s unused to real, actual meat in such a meal. He’s (very) used to hamburger patties, whereas this is, in effect, a steak sanger and he grapples, momentarily, with the eating skills required. I go the Wagyu beef burger with pickled zucchini, raclette, baby leaves, house relish and mustard mayonnaise and it, too, is a doozy. The beef patty is about an inch thick, well seasoned and delicious, and the dressings and zucchini noodles are wonderful. For sides, we get a small serve of the home-made fat chips ($4) and they’re fabulous, too. Once-boiled and once-fried, they have tender, hot innards that scream: “potato!” We complete our meal with a mixed pickle plate of jalapenos, carrot, cucumber and cornichons ($5.50). The jalapenos are somewhat out of place, but the cornichons hit the spot and the carrot and cucumber are delights that are pickled somewhat in the sweet, delicate Japanese style.
We’ve enjoyed and admired the Mr Ed take on burgers. We’ve received burgers that don’t have us waddling out of the place having completely stuffed ourselves. But we consider the quality of the ingredients and cooking and the resultant flavours well worth the money we’ve paid. We recommend the Mr Ed burgers to anyone who has become a bit jaded with Footscray burger bar 8bit and the like. Mr Ed is a fine place to spend an hour or so and we reckon their burger endeavours deserve greater patronage than the handful of occupied tables we’ve observed this Friday night.

fter 88 years of commitment to the community, including working closely with a range of ex-service people, current serving personnel, schools, sport and charity organisations, Altona RSL is looking to the future and continuing to support those in need, general manager David Hanson says. “Welfare is our main focus,” David says. “We’ve contributed $1,192,555 towards the local community during the past six years alone.” The club’s small team of locals, willing to assist visitors and provide great service, are volunteers who help look after the community. The RSL has donated to many local schools, six sports clubs, veterans associations and hospitals, while David is directly involved in this community aid. “We run a welfare bus that takes club members to doctors’ appointments,” he says. “We also take elderly people from their nursing homes on day tours and assist with sporting events at Altona P-9 College.” With Christmas not far away, Altona RSL’s involvement donating Christmas presents to charities for children is very important. Many more services deserve a mention. “We provide free haircuts to current and ex-defence force personnel and their widows once a month,” David says. “We have a full-time volunteer welfare officer available who helps our members and the local community (including buying mobility aids for the elderly to lease for free to their members), and more recently have even hosted welfare officer training courses. The club’s scholarship program, now in its second year, helps underprivileged children.”

Good hearing brings the world to life F
or a person with a hearing problem, having to say the words, “Can you please repeat that?”, over and over again, can be quite depressing. In fact, says Cris Ivanidis, owner of Active Audiology, it can cause people to withdraw, which impacts negatively on their wellbeing. “Many of our clients come to us feeling insecure and down, because they’ve withdrawn from social situations where they can’t hear or contribute to conversation,” Cris says. “But when we’ve fitted them with the right device for their needs and they come back for a review, we see a positive change in confidence and mood. “This is actually one of the best parts of my job, seeing how lives can be changed. “It’s an incredible feeling to know you’ve helped someone, who had given up on enjoying life, to realise they can get back to their lawn bowls and social occasions, simply because they can hear properly again.” Active Audiology is an independent hearing service provider. Why is this important? “Unlike four in five hearing clinics owned by hearing aid manufacturers, we provide unbiased clinical advice on hearing health issues. It also means our clients have genuine price/brand choice, because we’re not ‘pushing’ a particular brand of hearing device.” Cris understands how variable the service quality can be from some of the larger hearing companies. By setting up a smaller business, he knew he could offer a more personalised service. This can be especially important with more mature-aged clients as they feel most
comfortable being seen by a small team they get to know. “We take great care in trying to meet the needs of our clients. Recently, one of our receptionists got a call from one of our clients, ■ A home delivery who was feeling unwell and had enabled an older lady run out of hearing aid batteries. to hear her favourite “Routinely we post them out TV show or clients come into the clinic to collect them. “On this particular day, our receptionist decided to drive past the client’s house and drop them into her letterbox – just so she would have the batteries in time to watch her favourite afternoon TV show. This is what we’ve built our business on – client-staff relationships and exceptional service.” The government-accredited clinic, with university-trained and qualified audiologists, provides free hearing services and aids to pensioners and DVA Goldcard holders, along with a range of service and hearing technologies to self-funded retirees. Sleep and musician plugs, tinnitus testing and diagnosis are also provided. After helping thousands of Melburnians get back their enjoyment in life, Cris understands that it’s not just a hearing aid they’re after. “They want to feel confident again, reconnect with others, be able to hear their grandchildren. We listen carefully before giving recommendations about which hearing solution best matches their lifestyle.”

helsea isn’t just an up-market London suburb or close to the bay in Melbourne. It’s also the name of one of the beds on show at Highpoint’s Bedshed. The Chelsea, constructed in a natural timber look, is possibly the most functional and most stylish queen-size bed you could get, it’s topped and flanked with storage nooks and has bedside cupboards with a pull-out shelf and under-bed drawers galore. Couples will be tempted by The Chelsea, as it won’t clash with existing home décor. Just ask owner and interior designer Sandra Green. Sandra has been helping design creative interiors for 30 years, the past 12 with Bedshed. The store’s range of beds (including adjustable) and suites, in crisp classic whites to the richness and warmth of timber, couple with outstanding mattresses with renowned labels such as Sealy, Sleepmaker, Beautyrest, Tempur, Dreamsense and Insignia. Sandra leads a team that gives advice on all aspects of beds, mattresses and bed linen. The team has practical advice at its fingertips and can help you choose wisely to get the look you’re after for your home. “We understand our customers are savvy,” Sandra says. “They’ve done their online research and they come in to us with specific questions. “That’s where our team can’t be beaten; they have the answers and are all over the latest trends and products. “And, most importantly of all, we all stick to the golden rule of retail – to treat

im Cameron loves everything about Amarco Apartments at Kingsville. From the many social activities he’s involved in, to his wonderful neighbours, and the easy access to specialised aged care services, Jim says the four years he’s lived at Amarco have been wonderful. “I think the best thing I did was moving here – I’ve never regretted it,” he said. “I suppose there are pros and cons of living anywhere – I can’t think of a con about Amarco.” Uniting AgeWell’s Amarco Apartments have been designed so residents can enjoy their retirement free from the burdens and high ongoing costs that come with managing and maintaining a house. Jim said moving to a low-maintenance property with ready access to key services was a driving factor when he and his wife, Joan, who has since passed away, decided to move in. “We lived in North Altona in a house that was 52 years old and needed some work done on it, and I really wasn’t able to do it,” he said. Aside from enjoying the secure, private apartment, concierge service, 24/7 emergency support, in-house café and reduced utility bills, Jim loves the vibrant Amarco community. As the social club’s activities co-ordinator, he organises regular outings, including dinners and boat rides, and in-house activities, such as Bingo, movie nights and barbecue lunches. Amarco also organises special events for residents. Last month, Ian Cover and Greg Champion of the famed Coodabeen Champions radio show regaled guests with their tales of sporting life.

Leave racing for horses, police warn V
ictoria Police will be out in force over the Melbourne Cup weekend, with Operation Furlong running from Friday, October 30, until Tuesday, November 3. Road policing advisor Senior Sergeant Ross Burbidge said Operation Furlong will be conducted throughout Victoria by all operational police in all police areas over the five days, using all available personnel from local highway patrol units, general duties police and other units. The major focus for the operation will be speed, fatigue, impaired driving (drug and alcohol), mobile phone offences and seatbelt compliance. Motorists will be aware of police units in marked and unmarked vehicles targeting major arterial roads over this holiday weekend. Traffic camera vehicles will also be rostered on roads known for high collision rates. The aim, in addition to detecting offences, is to provide a highly visible and mobile police presence to reinforce positive driving behaviours and reduce the incidence of road trauma. “It has been demonstrated time after time,” Senior Sergeant Burbidge explains, “that speed is a contributing factor in most road crashes. Therefore, stay within the speed limit and drive to suit the conditions.” Speeding affects both the risk of a crash and the severity of injuries sustained when a crash does happen. RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council chairman Jim Giddings says road trauma isn’t just about the people who die. “It’s about the enormous impact on the community, from the family members and emergency services workers, who have

to deal with these tragedies on a daily basis, to the police who have to deliver the devastating news to loved ones,” Mr Giddings says. Drivers are urged to plan their trips, be patient and ensure they have frequent breaks when driving long distances. Mr Giddings said holiday driving has its special challenges, and motorists should
drive in the hours they are normally awake, take regular breaks to reduce fatigue and allow extra space between vehicles. They need to adapt to the conditions of the road – the onus is always on the driver to suit the conditions they are facing, and that includes the quality of the road. “If you plan to have a drink, then plan not to drive. Taking a big risk like drinking and
driving is just not worth endangering your or other road users’ lives,” Mr Giddings warns. “And before embarking on any driving trips, drivers should check their tyres, windscreen washers, brakes and lights. “Be prepared and stay safe.” Report speeding drivers to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

hen successful grazier Thomas Williamson bought about 39 hectares of land along the Maribyrnong River in 1901, he had a good eye for pretty scenery. His son, also Thomas, agreed because by 1936 he’d opened Medway Golf Club, with 66 men and nine women ready to tee up at a cost of two shillings to play 18 holes. Today, it’s a semi-private club, a magnificent functions venue and has a retail golf shop. Manager Brett Scothern says it’s a beautiful spot on the river and a wonderful environment in which to work and play. “It’s just a pleasure to be in these surroundings and we have a great team here who obviously feel the same. Our superintendent Colin, who manages a crew of seven, has been here for nearly 30 years and keeps the course up to scratch,” Brett says. “And John Dixon, our PGA professional, has been offering his guidance for 25 years. “Jin has been our chef and caterer for more than 20 years and, judging by the number of people and groups that book in for a function, he’s hitting all the right notes.” Brett believes it’s the club’s welcoming atmosphere, size and fantastic location that makes it so popular for functions such as weddings and corporate meetings. The Rotary Club holds weekly meetings here and Western Region Sports Club meets here monthly, just as examples. The choice of three function rooms – seating from three to 180 guests – and a fully licensed bar add to the amenity of the club which has a challenging course for golfers of all levels. “Coming up on November 14,” says Brett, “we have a 27-hole event sponsored

$5000 street art prize: entry and winner’s cred free
Footscray’s alive to a street art vibe T
he biggest prize in Australia for street art, a cool $5000, is right on our doorstep. The Footscray Street Art Festival, part of the Big West Festival, kicks off in Chambers Street (off Nicholson Street mall) on November 20, with the winner announced at festival’s end on November 28. With a theme of “Asylum”, it’s a free event that promotes street art and covers ugly tags. The competition started as a way of eradicating graffiti but has grown into
an important event on the arts calendar. Previous winners, such as Makatron, have gone on to commercial success. The contest is open to anyone and the entry process is simple – visit www. footscraystreetart.com.au, then get a space on a wall allocated as a canvas. All works need to be started and finished within festival dates. Grant Miles, festival organiser and sponsor (and owner of Cheaper Buy Miles in Maddern Square), believes Footscray is fast becoming an artistic hub.
“Street art is really big around here. Tourists and shoppers are often seen taking photos of the art and I think it gives Footscray a subtly alternative edge which attracts people in from other areas,” says Grant. “Street art tends to be quite ephemeral and can often be appreciated only after regular viewing and by mulling over the content, so people need to enjoy it while it’s still there.” Grant is incredibly pleased to provide the $5000 prize at Footscray Street Art Festival
which, he says, helps to nurture local talent and promotes vibrant, melting-pot Footscray. “This year’s ‘asylum’ theme is one that will speak loudly to our community, and it has a scope that street artists will relish. I’m looking forward to seeing some powerful stuff.” All contact and inquiries via the website: www.footscraystreetart.com.au

CHOC FULL OF GOODNESS
Kevin Harrington, actor and Western Bulldogs tragic FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? KH: Me – 10 out of 10. Daughters rating me – four out of 10. FB: What is your signature dish? KH: Steak on the barbecue. With salad. Spag bol. I often cheat by mixing mince with Dolmio jars of spaghetti sauce. But where does that end, that reliance of pre-mixed sauces? Is tomato paste out of bounds? Should you mince the meat yourself? Should you buy and feed the cow and kill it? I think people get a bit precious about these things. FB: If you could only have one meal, what would it be? KH: I personally think steak and salad is an unbeatable combination of hot, seared and juicy with cold and crunchy. Salt and pepper on the steak. Dressing on the salad. How can you beat that? I’m not really a dessert person but once again the barbecue is handy for mango with cinnamon sugar and lime juice seared quickly with double cream or vanilla ice cream.
As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au
FB: What is your favourite food show and who is your favourite food show personality? KH: I watched MasterChef in the early days and liked Matt Preston. He is larger than life in his dress sense and theatricality. Iain Hewitson always prepared very doable food. The sort of thing an amateur could comfortably have a go at. Maggie Beer is such an infectious enthusiast you can’t help but be attracted to her cooking suggestions. FB: What is your favourite food? KH: If I say steak and salad again? I love bananas, cherry tomatoes, cos lettuce, scotch fillet, avocado dip, Twisties and Crunchie chocolate bars and Cascade premium beer. Please note not all of these accompany each other favourably. FB: Which five people would you invite to a dinner party? KH: My dad (passed away), my wife, my two daughters and Teddy Whitten. Dad knew him from footy at Braybrook so it would be fun to hear their reminiscing. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? KH: It is not a law of the Commonwealth of Australia that you can’t leave the dishes unwashed until the following morning.
It seems my chat about popular chocolate blocks a few weeks back really struck a chord. I’m always excited when readers email me with their recipes, and one such treat I cannot wait to try is this coconut chocolate recipe from Jackie Whyte, of Hobson’s Bay. She says: “Like many people, I love chocolate and – as a naturopathy nutrition student – appreciate the benefits of good-quality dark chocolate. So much so, that I like making my own.” Many thanks, Jackie, for sharing your recipe with us.
COCONUT CHOCOLATE 1 cup coconut oil 1/2 cup rice malt syrup 1 cup cacao powder 2 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp maca powder
Melt together the coconut oil and rice malt syrup on very low heat. Blend in the cacao powder, cinnamon and maca. Whisk until smooth. Line a square baking tin with greaseproof paper and pour the mixture into the tin. Place in the freezer. After an hour, remove from freezer, tip the frozen block of chocolate on to a chopping board and remove the grease-proof paper. Allow to warm to room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before cutting into bite-size pieces. Keep chocolate in fridge or freezer to prevent it melting.
“If you can eat with mates or friends or family, I mean, it’s such a brilliant thing, isn’t it? If you feel really rubbish and you have a nice bit of food it makes you feel good, you know?” – Jamie Oliver

With contemporary interiors and a modern design, this new residence is located in a great part of Yarraville, offering an inner city lifestyle with all the benefits of the friendly ‘burbs. With polished floorboards on the ground floor and an open-plan family-meals area at the rear, the kitchen here has stone benchtops, a tiled splashback and white high-gloss cabinetry, a 900-millimetre freestanding cooker and a dishwasher. There are three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, one on the ground floor, the other two upstairs and both these with en suites and air-conditioning. There’s also a timber-decked courtyard out the back, which looks over a paved area. The house has a single garage with internal access and is close to the heart of Yarraville Village, with its shops, cinema, cafes and train station.
This three-storey contemporary dwelling, just off The Strand, hits all the high notes. Its third deck offers the best views of the bay in the west, with the city skyline a nightly fairyland on the horizon. Views from the outdoor timber deck on the second floor are equally panoramic. The main bedroom is on the ground floor, and has a walk-in wardrobe, en suite and access to a private courtyard. The remaining three bedrooms are upstairs, and one has a balcony. There are two large bathrooms and a separate powder room-toilet downstairs. The European-style kitchen has solid timber benchtops, a blue-tiled splashback, a wall oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and plenty of storage. There is a study and a huge cellar, a wrap-around enclosed pergola with terracotta terraces, a 2000-litre water tank, a double garage and secure rear access, plus beautiful landscaping, including a pond.

Having The Strand as its address and the waterfront at its front gate, this renovated two-bedroom apartment comes with great credentials. Add to this the ease of access to Williamstown’s restaurants and cafes, the yacht club and harbour, its next owners have a great life ahead. With an open-plan layout, the large kitchen has timber benchtops, glass-paned overhead cupboards and plenty of cabinetry, wine racks, an island bench with a breakfast bar, a gas cooktop, an underbench oven and a dishwasher. One of the two bedrooms has a built-in wardrobe and the other one has a walk-in wardrobe plus access to a courtyard. This paved-outdoor space offers a great escape and is surrounded by gardens. The house features a European-style laundry, split-system and slab floor heating. There is a double garage, with a studio-cum-storage area alongside.
This place is a renovator’s delight and is calling for imagination and personalisation. And, with much love, it has the potential to become a real gem. In a great street and within walking distance of trains, buses, schools and shops it has the makings for a great family house. The house has five main rooms – three bedrooms, a family-meals area and a bathroom. The big backyard has the potential to become an entertainer’s paradise or a kids’ secret escape with the addition of a landscaped alfresco space and a possible cubby house.

Price: $1.55 million – $1.65 million
Set on a beautifully landscaped block, with panoramic views over the bay and the Jawbone Reserve wetlands, this Victoriana-style two-storey house is reminiscent of Melbourne’s boomtime architecture in the post-gold rush heyday. Period features have been incorporated throughout, including three-metre ceilings with cornices and rosettes, period light fittings, polished hardwood floors and the bold yet tasteful colour schemes of these glory days. The entrance features a large timber door with coloured glass sides and an archway leading into the centre of the house and its

stairwell to the second storey. To one side of the hall, timber double doors with glass panels open onto the formal dining room which showcases lavish window furnishings. Another set of double doors open from here onto a pebble-paved and landscaped courtyard. An open sitting room, on the other side of the entrance, features a decorative rosette and sash windows. The main bedroom is the only downstairs bedroom. Just beyond the sitting room, it has a single built-in wardrobe and a walk-through wardrobe that connects with a two-way bathroom with toilet (also
accessible via the large laundry). At the other end of the house is a beautifully configured open-plan kitchen, dining and family zone. The galley kitchen has polished timber cabinetry, a gas cooktop, a wall oven and dishwasher. A bank of windows wraps around the dining area which has a wonderful window seat from which to relax and take in the views. A brick fireplace with raw timber surrounds is a focal point of the family room. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a study (or fourth bedroom), a second bathroom and a large retreat space with a cast-iron

fireplace and timber mantel. Two of the bedrooms and rumpus area open to the verandah, which affords spectacular bay views. There’s a timber-decked alfresco space in the large backyard, which also has an array of established plantings, including fruit trees and a fenced-off vegie patch. On about 627 square metres the property includes a single garage and off-street parking. It’s only moments from parks, bike paths, schools, shops and public transport. Eleanor Tabone

From October 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; November 2015, Melbourne Water is undertaking a control program at Cherry Lake to reduce the number of rabbits. This is part of our commitment to responsible land management, biodiversity conservation and continued good amenity for our neighbours. An experienced, licenced vermin controller will install bait stations on site using Pindone, an authorised bait for urban areas. Visitors to the area are reminded that Cherry Lake is a conservation zone and the following precautions should be observed: â&#x20AC;˘ Remain on established pathways â&#x20AC;˘ Do not attempt to enter the fenced area â&#x20AC;˘ Ensure children and pets remain outside restricted areas â&#x20AC;˘ Do not touch or handle animal carcasses â&#x20AC;˘ Observe warning signs and follow any instructions If you suspect that a pet may have come into contact with bait, seek veterinary treatment immediately and inform the vet that the bait is Pindone. Contact 131 722 quoting Cherry Lake rabbit baiting

Babbel
busuu
Duolingo – Learn Languages for Free
SpeakEasy
Babbel aims to be the leading languagelearning app, offering the choice of German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Polish, Dutch, Indonesian, Turkish, Danish, Norwegian, Russian or English. Babbel has created an outstanding design and the app is incredibly ‘juicy’, a games development term for the overall feel of touching buttons and the animation throughout. Babbel successfully eases users slowly into learning a new language. The early stages aim to give the user a taste for what’s to come, before prompting them to sign up. It’s primarily course-based, starting with basic vocabulary. Once signed on, new content will be made available in parts unless users subscribe; then they gain access to all sections. Options go onwards from one month for $12.99 and prices decrease depending on the number of months chosen. Overall, I rate this app highly. If you are keen on learning languages, it’s money well spent.
Busuu, much like Babbel, is a well-made language training platform designed to engage users. Unlike Babbel, it has more free content. The registration for Busuu is quick and simple. But in comparison to Babbel, the app lacks user engagement – most of the content can be guessed instead of learnt. What works well in Busuu is the help section, which allows signed-up users to ask questions in the various languages to help correct or assist you as you learn. Busuu isn’t completely free. To access most of the content, premium membership is needed. Buying this grants access to many advantages, such as unlocking all languages (previously could only choose one), quizzes at the end of units, reviews, other writing exercises, and more content per unit. Overall, the quality of the app is terrific, however, the amount of locked content and lack of user engagement put this app a mark lower than Babbel.
Duolingo has produced an amazing language learning app that is entirely free. Learning Languages for Free is a must-have if you want to learn a new language from scratch. The app opens and immediately prompts the user to “push notifications”. This is highly recommended because the app asks the user how often they would like to practice. This could be as little as five minutes per day or as much as 20 minutes a day. The app starts with basic vocabulary and sentence formation before becoming increasingly more fluent. It forces the user to learn and not simply guess answers, such as the Busuu language app, for example. Duolingo’s app doesn’t have everything going for it, however. A slight drawback is the audio quality. Some voices sound robotic and don’t quite match the quality of Babbel or Busuu. Overall, I rate this app the highest because it’s free, forces you to learn to progress and unlock more stages and, overall, has many, if not all, features of its premium competitors.
SpeakEasy is a great tool to use when you’re travelling to a foreign country and don’t want to go through the hassle of completely learning a new language from scratch. There’s an entire library of words and phrases of various languages, including French, Spanish, German and Japanese. More are available as separate downloads. The audio is good quality and voices are real. What works well with SpeakEasy is the ability to slow down the speed at which the interpreter says a word by simply holding down the chosen word or phrase. This makes repeating the word very easy. Initially, it is a free download that allows you to try the various languages with a small sample of useful words and phrases. Each language can be bought as a separate app of the SpeakEasy Collection. Each paid app sets you back $4.99 and includes all the words and phrases for the chosen language. Overall, Pocketglow has delivered a simple and effective app which helps people with a short-term learning solution.

SPORT Williamstown’s staying power on show With smooth baton passing and strong team running, Williamstown’s open-age men and women dominated the 4x200-metre relays, with convincing wins at the Athletics Victoria Shield at Aberfeldie on Saturday. The men’s team of Matthew Meilak, Cosimo Mucci, Stefan Voorham and Brad Ticehurst took control mid-race, winning in one minute 35.5 seconds. In similar fashion, the women’s team – Celeste Mucci, Eleni Gilden, Rosamond Gilden and Karoline Curtis – took the lead early, winning comfortably in one minute 52.7 seconds. In individual events, Daniela Roman was the superior sprinter in the women’s 200 metres, winning in 24.53 seconds. The best 800-metre run came from Eleni Gilden in the time of two
minutes 18.7 seconds, with her sister Rosamond not far behind in two minutes 24.2 seconds. In the under-16 3000-metre race, Alyssa Bearzi ran the strong time of 11 minutes 05.3 seconds, while younger sister Jamiem produced 14 minutes 02.5 seconds in the under-14 3000-metre event. The best field event performance came from Celeste Mucci in the shot put, with a distance of 10.10 metres. The leading performance in the men’s 200 metres was recorded by Cosimo Mucci with a time of 22.24 seconds, close to a personal best. Robert Grosvenor ran a determined 800-metre race, coming home in two minutes 10.8 seconds. In the high jump, Sean Hardeman produced
a leap of 1.55 metres, while the under-14 3000-metres saw a personal best from Charlie Close in the time of 10 minutes 24.6 seconds. Close had settled into the middle for the field early in the race and improved his position to third. With a bit more than a lap to go, Close moved into second place and then moved on the leader down the back straight, but it proved too big a gap and he had to settle for second. Young teammate Alfaddel Adem showed improvement with his 3000-metre time of 11 minutes 33.6 seconds. Veteran athlete Terry Pearce looked comfortable early only to fade over the later laps, for a time of 10 minutes 50.3 seconds. This Saturday, Williamstown will host the first Zone v Zone competition of the season.
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Brian Lake at Caroline Springs and Brendan Fevola at Deer Park must have footy fans of the west ready for anything in 2016. Brian committed to the Lakers (now the Brian Lakers, I assume) last week, even though it has been the worst kept secret ever that he’d play there when his AFL days were up. I’ve no doubt he could have commanded a sizeable pay cheque at VFL level and at numerous suburban clubs but he chose the Lakers. The fact his boys play at the junior club and he lives a short golf cart drive from the clubrooms would have aided his thinking. How many suburban clubs currently boast a Norm Smith medallist and a three-time AFL premiership player in their ranks? Get back to me with an answer on that one. ■ One really interesting AFL trade that caught my eye was Jack Fitzpatrick’s move from Melbourne to Hawthorn in return for pick 94. Jack is a former Wyndhamvale junior who won the WRFL’s B&F as an under-16. He was drafted to Melbourne but then had serious health problems, including diabetes and chronic fatigue syndrome. But what a wonderful opportunity he has now after being picked up by the reigning premiers. Who knows, we may see another fairytale story like that of Brian Lake unfold with Jack. To play at the highest level would be just reward after his health problems. ■ Great to see James Winks riding winners at the Spring Racing Carnival and several country meetings on the back of the passing of his grandfather, Mick, last week. Mick was a popular trainer and former jockey. James is showing himself to be one to watch and I know a bunch of Braybrook people who follow him because of his ties to the west. They will have pocketed a tidy sum in the last few days of racing.
Good Sports still smiling By Lance Jenkinson Altona Sports has come back down to earth thanks to a one-shot loss to Werribee in a Bowls Victoria division 1 thriller at Chirnside Park on Saturday. Altona Sports has been a revelation in the early rounds, winning its opening three games in its first season in the state’s second-tier competition. But not even the nail-biting loss to the Bees could wipe smiles from the faces of those associated with Sports after an October to remember. Sports skip Glenn Maxwell was among those feeling elated despite the fourth-round defeat. “It’s the first time the club has ever been in divvy 1 and you never know what you’re going to achieve early,” he said. “To win our first three and to go down by one shot to probably one of the top four sides – it’s been a great start for us.” The Werribee match was one that got away for Altona Sports, which led by as many as nine
shots before being over-run. Picking up two rinks was not enough to avoid a minor stain on an otherwise flawless record. “We sort of led for most of it and probably blew it at the finish,” Maxwell said. “We dropped a couple of numbers here and there and it cost us.” Pat Dalli’s rink was the most impressive on the day for Altona Sports. Dalli took care of Werribee’s Rob Panton by nine shots. “He was the one who virtually kept us in the game,” Maxwell said. Aaron Putt’s quartet had a day out, beating Werribee star Snowy Barker by nine shots. Putt was a key signing from YarravilleFootscray in the off-season. “He’s been fantastic for us,” Maxwell said. “He did play alongside me about eight or nine years ago, so I knew of his ability. Once he spoke to me that he was interested in coming to our club, I jumped on him.” The overall loss for Altona Sports was a reflection of two rinks.
60 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ OCTOBER 28, 2015
Maxwell was hammered 28-14 by Brett Dodd and Paul Howard fell short by five against Mick O’Neil. “Every week we step up to face these sides who have been in division 1 for a long time,” Maxwell said. “There’s a lot of great bowlers. “This was our biggest challenge so far – playing away to a top division 1 side who were in the premier league two years ago. “We were right in it … it shows that if we’re on top of our game, we’re up there with the best of them.” Altona Sports will face Preston-Reservoir at Altona Road home under lights on Friday night. Maxwell is calling on sports fans to get out and support the team. “Hopefully the weather is fine, we get a few people coming out to have a look and we get the club out there,” Maxwell said. In premier league, Altona remains on top of the ladder after a hard-fought 77-72 win over Kew Sports. Yarraville-Footscray suffered its second loss in a row, comprehensively beaten 87-61 by Essendon.

■ Local footy can be very ruthless . . . Parkside grand final coach Nathan Boyd is moving to Corio for 2016, Paul Growcott is heading back from Caroline Springs to Laverton to replace Christian Spencer and Jamie Lane has the job at Braybrook. There’s still no word on the Werribee Districts appointment, although there are plenty of rumours. I believe the Montebruno brothers are heading to North Footscray and Spotswood may be waving goodbye to a few key players. There will be a lot of movement in VFL ranks after the drafts, as there always is.

Teen ace academy-bound By Liam Twomey
If he needs any advice he has the perfect mentor close by in brother Michael, who has been through the TAC Cup system and now plays for VFL side Footscray. All indications are Fogarty will be a valuable member of the Jets’ squad after the representative side struggled throughout 2015. The hard-working midfielder and year 10 student also had a promising junior basketball career, making a number of representative teams. Fogarty isn’t letting his early footy success go to his head and is refusing to get swept up in AFL draft speculation. “I’m not really focusing on AFL at this stage. There are a lot of other things to look at, like school and catching up with my mates … so I’m not just focusing on football all the time.” For his outstanding sporting achievements, Fogarty is this month’s nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star award, run by Sunshine Western Region Sports Club in conjunction with Star Weekly. Fogarty will receive $1000, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, and other prizes to help him reach his sporting goals. The Don Deeble Rising Star award recognises young western suburbs athletes who achieve outstanding results at state and national levels.

No matter what level of football, all clubs are looking for big-game players. Williamstown’s Lachlan Fogarty may only be in the early stages of his career but he certainly fits the bill. The 16-year-old has long been known around the west as a rising star, but he’s now being spoken about nationwide after an incredible under-16 national championships. Representing Vic Metro on the Gold Coast, Fogarty dominated for the Big V and was named his side’s most valuable player. The selection earned him a position at the prestigious AFL national academy. He will now get the chance to work with some of the best junior development coaches in Australia, including former Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson, Western Bulldogs’ legend Brad Johnson and Essendon goalkicking machine Matthew Lloyd. “My main goal was just to make the Vic Metro side,” Fogarty says. “I wasn’t really thinking about the games at all; I just wanted to earn the respect of my teammates and the coaches. “Once I made the team and got up to the Gold Coast, I just wanted to play hard for my teammates. I was lucky enough to get a kick and it went from there.” His time with Vic Metro will give Fogarty the perfect grounding to move into TAC Cup football. Having played juniors for Spotswood and school football at St Kevins, he will now turn his attention to earning a spot on the Western Jets’ list Lachlan Fogarty is this month’s Don Deeble for 2016. Rising Star nominee. (Damian Visentini)

Newport Rams have tumbled into the bottom two on the Baseball Victoria summer league division 1 ladder. The Rams suffered a disappointing 3-1 loss to Sandringham Royals on the road on Sunday. There will be a chance for the Rams to atone this Sunday when they return home to face western suburbs rivals Sunshine. In division 2, Williamstown Wolves were shocked 13-4 by the previously winless Malvern at Greenwich Reserve. It does not get any easier for the Wolves, now set to face Moorabbin in a tough away game tonight.

Gellibrand is still searching for its first WDCA A turf win of the season after failing to defend a big total against Melton South at Blackwood Reserve. Gellibrand posted a competitive 221, but South reached the target seven down, despite Ashley Fine taking three wickets. The defeat has left Gellibrand without a win after two matches. Williamstown Congs is the only side yet to secure a point after a 78-run loss to Grand United, while Williamstown Colts, in the same position as Gellibrand with a draw and a loss, were beaten on home turf by Melton Centrals.

61 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ OCTOBER 28, 2015
SPORT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
Bulldogs shake off the ghosts of season past To appreciate what it meant for Footscray Edgewater to claim 10 Prahran wickets and pick up a crucial 41-run win in Premier Cricket’s one-day country round at Port Fairy on Saturday, you have to go all the way back to February 28, the final round of last season. In that game, the Bulldogs amassed more than 400 runs and only needed to bowl Prahran out to feature in the finals, but the 10th wicket proved elusive and the odds-on Dogs let it slip. The pain of that day has lingered, so the Bulldogs jumped at the chance to bowl at Prahran again, defending a small total of 169 and removing the previously undefeated side for 128. Not only did the victory pull the Bulldogs out of a five-game block of one-day matches with a 3-2 record, it went some way to vanquishing the
ghosts of last summer. Bulldogs’ coach Steve Chapman told Star Weekly it was not only that final round game that put his side on the finals outer last season, but also missed opportunities in games leading up to that fateful day. In the context of this season, it may only be round five, but this was another must-win game against Prahran, ensuring the Dogs hold a winning record going into the pre-Christmas block of two-day matches, rather than being behind the eight-ball. “I spoke to the lads at the start the game and I said, when we couldn’t get the 10th wicket against these guys last year, you had to look back at other games and think, gee, there were some games where we just needed to take points,” Chapman said. “I said, this is one of these times, one of those
moments, and right about now we’ve got to do something about it. I didn’t want the lads to dwell on what had happened, I wanted them to focus on what they can do.” Footscray Edgewater did not have as many runs to play with on this occasion, but achieved a par score on a grassy Avery’s Paddock wicket. Matthew Gudde proved a revelation for the Bulldogs in the opening month, and was top-scorer with 36 on tough batting deck. Captain Dean Russ (28), Travis Dean (26) and English import Dan Hodgson (20) chipped in with starts. Tail-ender Michael Kelly’s 15 runs off 11 balls was invaluable in the low-scoring game. “Gudde’s innings was the difference between us being 135 all out to making 169,” Chapman said. “We felt 160 to 180 would be hard work
[for Prahran], but we thought we’d lose if we didn’t get to that.” Then came the psychological test, getting the 10 Prahran scalps that proved so hard last time. Enter new recruit leg spinner Jeremy Hart, who finished with a game-breaking 4-25 off 10 overs. Hart removed four of the top five Prahran batsmen, including opener Adam Bull, for 59. Alex Hewet, recruited from Yarraville in the winter, built the pressure, with 0-7 off seven overs. Russ, a part-time slow bowler, took 2-25 off 8.4 overs, while Hamish Winter-Irving picked up two wickets to finish with 2-38. The Bulldogs travel to Casey-South Melbourne on Saturday for their first two-day game of the season. Lance Jenkinson

Late order does the job By Lance Jenkinson Yarraville Club has worked its way out of sticky situations so often over the years that it no longer comes as a surprise when it achieves a mission deemed close to impossible. The Clubbers thrive when their backs are against the wall, with a never-say die attitude being their strongest asset. And the reigning champions certainly had to dig their way out of a hole before beating St Bernard’s Old Collegians in a hard-fought Turf cricket senior division contest at Hansen Reserve on Saturday. Chasing 231 for victory, the Clubbers were in a spot of bother on 5-60 before the longest batting order in the competition came into play in the dying hours of the two-day match. Led by No. 8 batsmen Adam Contessa, who made his first century for the club, Yarraville powered past the target to finish on 7-288. “We were looking down the barrel,” Clubbers coach Michael O’Keefe told Star Weekly. “To get up and win showed the character in our side. We bat so deep that we always believe we can get whatever runs we need.”
Contessa arrived at the crease with the Clubbers still in trouble on 6-120. The precarious position came despite the best efforts of opening batsman Konrad Kurta, who hit eight fours and two sixes en route to 75. Kurta watched in dismay as five of his top-order partners perished before his dismissal. But his willingness to fight it out provided a platform for Contessa and company in the bottom order to carry the side to victory. Contessa featured in two critical partnerships. The first was an 85-run stand with a patient Andrew Cullen (44), the second an unbroken 83-run partnership with debutant Dale Williams (27 not out). Contessa was on from the moment St Bernard’s started putting the ball in his wheelhouse. “To have a bloke like him batting at eight, any side would like to have that and we’re blessed,” O’Keefe said. “He was chuffed that he not only got 100, but he got it when we really needed someone to step up. It shows his leadership qualities. They bowled a couple of short ones to him early

and he loves to play the short ball and he hit a couple of bigs sixes, which got him going.” After losing the season’s opening game, the Clubbers are now 1-1 and back on track. “When you only play a dozen games a season, you have to get early wins to be in a position to push for the finals,” O’Keefe said. The Clubbers will travel to Beaumaris for a two-day game starting on Saturday. In north west division, Spotswood produced a stellar bowling performance to beat West Coburg by 27 runs. The Woodsmen defended a measly 131, rolling the Burgers 104, with four wickets to Jeremy Brown and three each to Andrew Dickinson and Ashley Robertson. Druids, led by 92 from Shane Windridge, overcame a challenge from Seddon to win by 68 runs. Laverton suffered a home loss to Haig Fawkner by 69 runs and Altona North was comprehensively outplayed in a 130-run first innings loss to Keilor. In west A1, Janaka Siriwardana scored 67 and took three wickets in Williamstown CYMS’ 186-run trouncing of Kingsville Baptists,
Yarraville held focus during a laborious run chase to overcome new boys Hoppers Crossing by five wickets in a low-scoring sub-district cricket bout on the road at Hogans Road Reserve on Saturday. The Eagles set up victory on the first day, bowling the hosts out for just 124. Akshat Buch, who took 10 wickets in the previous seconds match, was promoted to the Eagles’ firsts to face his old club, producing a stunning haul of 5-34 off 19 overs. Opening bowler Ross Veitch, another new recruit, was just as influential, with 3-40 off 20 overs. Those expecting a cruisy Yarraville victory were in for a surprise on day two. Hoppers Crossing made it tough, producing 30 maidens off the 69 overs. Dinesh Daminda led the charge, taking 1-13 off 15 overs, including 10 maidens. But the Cats simply did not have enough runs to defend. Yarraville timed its chase to perfection with Josh Hahnel the key, making 38 from the middle order. Brad Shaw (27) and Mathew O’Grady (22no) also offered meaningful contributions. The Eagles made the winners’ circle for the first time this summer and will have a pep in their step for Saturday’s one-day clash with Malvern at Yarraville Oval. Williamstown is now one of four teams without a win after two rounds, falling considerably short of its 254-run target against rivals Werribee at Chirnside Park to finish on 9-174. James Gillard (23) and Matthew Dervan (29) aside, the Gulls top-order failed to fire. Luke Rainone offered resistance with 46 from the middle order, while tail-enders Daniel Popa (19no) and Murray Ring (27no) frustrated bowlers, but it was all to no avail for the Seagulls. The Gulls will host Hoppers Crossing in at Morris Street on Saturday. Altona enjoyed a solid 67-run win over Malvern at the Malvern Cricket Ground. The As, best placed of the local sides in fifth spot, host winless Brighton at Grant Reserve on Saturday. Lance Jenkinson
