Footscray Primary School pupils on the oval where asbestos has been found. (Simon O’Dwyer / The Age)

Asbestos shuts oval Parents are demanding a clean-up of Footscray Primary School’s asbestos-riddled oval after it was closed down by the principal because of safety fears. Footscray primary school principal Philip Fox closed the oval last Tuesday after erosion exposed building debris and possible trip hazards. Mr Fox said ongoing deterioration of the surface had resulted in rocks protruding and an uneven and hard surface. “My first priority is the welfare and safety of students,” he said. “This is a precautionary measure to ensure no child falls and injures themselves on the hazards identified, and parents have been notified by school newsletter.” Mr Fox said future use of the oval would be determined following a meeting between the

school and representatives from the Education Department. An external audit earlier this year, ordered by the Education Department, revealed that 140 out of 170 pieces of cement sheeting found at the school had tested positive to asbestos, school council president Mark Hollis said. Mr Fox said these asbestos fragments had been removed, and the area issued with a clearance certificate after a hygienist, who conducted air quality monitoring for the Department of Education over several months, found no asbestos fibres. However, parents have criticised the department for “dragging its heels” after four separate discoveries of asbestos over the past 18 months. Phyllis Campbell-McCrae said parents are worried about the health and safety of children and concerned a permanent fix has not been put in place.

“I would think that, after the second time [they found asbestos], a survey of the whole playing field would have occurred.” Ms Campbell-McCrae said the failure of the department to remediate the site over the summer school holiday break has left about 500 children with no green play space. Western suburbs Greens MP Colleen Hartland raised the matter in Parliament last Thursday, calling on Education Minister James Merlino to act on an issue the government has been aware of since 2011. “Parents and the school have reported asbestos to the government a number of times over the years,” she said. “Each time they came and dealt with that little bit, rather than assessing the whole oval to identify the wider problem. “This failure of process by the Labor government and the Liberal government before them has put the kids at risk.”

An Education Department spokeswoman said the department is assessing the recommendations of an occupational health and safety consultant, who visited the school last Monday. “The department has also been working closely with the school to monitor and manage some asbestos fragments, which were found on the school grounds,” she said. A spokesman for Education Minister James Merlino said Footscray MP Marsha Thomson has been working with the school to address safety issues and improve facilities there. “The minister will continue working with the school principal and the local member to achieve long term solutions to replenish the school oval,” he said. The spokesman said the government’s first budget delivered $42 million towards a $100 million commitment to removing asbestos from the state’s schools.

It has been one month since I received the distinct honour of being elected Mayor of the City of Maribyrnong and it has been a busy and challenging time, with the issue of pay parking in Yarraville causing considerable angst in the community. This has highlighted the need for Councillors to work together for their community. In just a few short weeks, I have had the pleasure of getting out and about at a range of festivals, celebrations and more. Some special highlights for me include: • Speaking at the inaugural local community-run Edgewater Fusion Festival, which focused on connecting people in the community • Attending the 40th anniversary of Yarraville Community Centre • Welcoming 31 adults and 3 children from 19 countries as new Australian Citizens As we near the end of the year, our work shows no sign of slowing down. We are continuing to advocate on behalf of our residents for the best possible outcomes across the board. We continue to stand firm on significant issues currently facing our city such as the Westgate Distributor. And I will continue to speak with politicians – both at State and Federal Government levels – and tell them what our community wants. Recently the Minister for Local Government, Natalie Hutchins, launched the new website www.knowyourcouncil.vic.gov.au. This public website allows you, as our community members, to go online and check out how Council is performing across a wide range of services. I am pleased to say that the data on this website shines a bright spotlight on Council, and shows that we are performing strongly across many areas. People love to visit our libraries and borrow up-to-date materials and they regularly enjoy a dip at the Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre. Importantly, our Councillors are committed to representing their community, with extremely high attendance at Council Meetings, where we make the vast majority of our decisions in a public forum. We are also fortunate enough to be in a sound financial position that will enable us to create new assets for our community as well as renewing our existing assets. As we near the end of this year, I encourage you to get involved in our Festive Season events. There’s a lot to choose from. See the Events Calendar on the right side of this page for details, or visit www.festivalcity.com.au It is set to be a busy and exciting end to 2015 and I am already looking forward to the developments, events, celebrations and opportunities we have in store for our community. I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season. Cr Cameron McDonald Mayor of the City of Maribyrnong

Paid parking protest plays on By Benjamin Millar Paid parking at Yarraville is likely to be suspended as early as Friday as Maribyrnong councillors convene for a special meeting to consider a moratorium on their operations. Star Weekly last week reported Cr Sarah Carter has been working behind the scenes to build support for an urgent motion to halt the controversial meters until February. Cr Carter said the pause would give traders a reprieve in the pre-Christmas shopping period, and allow councillors time to digest the data collected in the first three months of operations.

“I will be recommending a moratorium on their operation while we consider the data that has been collected,” Cr Carter said. She last week described the paid parking situation as “a hot mess”, and said the time since the violent attack on councillors Grant Miles and Nam Quach a fortnight ago had been spent trying to rebuild broken relationships among councillors. “I’m hopeful it will be a positive outcome.” Cr Michael Clarke, whose motion to rip out the machines preceded the violent attacks on councillors Miles and Quach, said he is confident Cr Carter’s motion has the numbers.

“Our reputation is in tatters; we are hated and despised at a number of levels of the community,” Cr Clarke said. A number of Yarraville traders blame the parking meters for a drop in takings, and even the closure of businesses such as the Piece Gallery. Yet others welcome their introduction, and question the haste of moves to rip them out. Software developer Alan Harper said the reduction in car traffic has made Yarraville Village a more inviting place to walk and cycle. “I cycle to work from home,” Mr Harper said. “Some days, coming along Anderson

Street, it’s just horrible; it’s too small for people to be driving east-west,” he said. “Traders are saying less people driving means less customers, instead of allowing it to run long enough for a study to be recorded, when it settles down one way or another.” Mr Harper said comparisons with free parking at Yarraville Square are misleading as that is offered on private land. “I hope some of these businesses don’t end up worse for it, but traders do not own the streets,” he said. The council’s special meeting will be held at Footscray Town Hall from 3pm on Friday.

Masked man invades home A Williamstown woman has been subjected to a terrifying home invasion, during which a masked man armed with a knife entered her house and stole her car. The woman, 31, came home just before 4.30pm on Friday to find her Florence Street house trashed. She said on social media she was initially unsure if it was a burglary, as all the family’s valuables were still around. However, the filing cabinets and clothes cupboards had been pulled apart. “I called my husband to check it wasn’t him, and during this time a man in a skeleton/Scream/Halloween mask walked straight into my front door, which was open. “He had a knife and he approached where my four children and I were in the lounge room. “He took my wallet and my car keys, and then walked slowly back out my house and drove my white Mazda CX-9 down Williamstown.” West Footscray residents and workers join in a “dance off” as part of a video celebrating the area.

Tracks go into the fast lane By Goya Dmytryshchak The state government has announced it will fast track the removal of the level crossing on Kororoit Creek Road at Williamstown North. Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said the removal of the crossing, near the Altona Mobil refinery, would improve traffic flow and avoid near misses. “This is great news for residents, as it will ease congestion and improve the safety of our roads,” he said. “The design of these crossings will be the subject of extensive consultation with the local council and the community.”

He said in the past 10 years there had been a number of near misses at the crossing, which had been reported by Metro and V/Line train drivers to the safety regulator. The crossing is used by more than 40 buses, 100 trains and 20,000 vehicles each day. On average, the barriers are down for 11 minutes during peak hour periods. Hobsons Bay mayor Peter Hemphill said the council would continue to work with the level crossing removal authority to ensure the best possible community outcome. “At this early stage in proceedings, council needs to gain a better understanding of the

’’

project detail to form a view and assess any potential impacts it may have on the nearby area or the running of Altona loop services,” Cr Hemphill said. The level crossing works are due to be completed by 2019. Three other crossings fast-tracked for removal are on the Melton Highway at

Sydenham, Abbotts Road at Dandenong South and Thompsons Road at Lyndhurst. Premier Daniel Andrews said removing the crossings will create capacity to run more trains. “These level crossings are dangerous, congested, and suffocate our train system,” the Premier said. “They are relics of the past and they need to go.” Community consultation about the latest crossing projects will start in coming weeks.

Christmas magic found

1157676-AM41-14

A sprinkle of dark Christmas magic has brought to life a West Footscray window that is said to rival Myer’s own. Made entirely from found objects, the dark kinetic wonderland of Jos Van Hulsen’s ‘Xmas vaudeville’ at Post Industrial Design contains a sprinkle of steampunk, a pinch of Tim Burton and a splash of Day of the Dead. Ferris wheels spin, planes fly about and a series of chain reactions interplay in the midst of a landscape featuring numerous loving nods to the western suburbs, right down to a miniature Baby Guerille paste-up. The sculptor said he wanted to create a world that bought wonder and magic back to Christmas. “As an artist, you cannot ask for much more than watching a sea of children, hands pressed to the glass, mesmerised,” he said. “Just to see people so engaged and fascinated gives me such

a thrill. This is what I aspire to when developing a work. “I have had such fun working on this year’s installation.” Van Hulsen’s display is fast becoming a western suburbs institution, last year attracting more than 4000 visitors to see the work. This year’s window is shaping up to attract even stronger audiences after more than 150 people flocked to the recent launch. Post Industrial Design is located at 638 Barkly Street, West Footscray. The display operates daily, 8am–10pm, until January 10. Benjamin Millar Artist Jos Van Hulsen at his Footscray shop, where his Christmas windows are very different from Myer’s. (Pat Scala/The Age)

Electrical fire destroys brewery By Goya Dmytryshchak A Williamstown microbrewery that was being investigated by Hobsons Bay council was destroyed by a fire last Wednesday. Firefighters were called to Crazy Horse Brewing Co. in Nelson Place shortly before 8pm. They found a fire in two sheds containing brewing equipment. Investigators determined the fire was caused by an electrical fault in fixed wiring. Crazy Horse Brewing won a bronze medal for its saison at the Australian International Beer Awards. The brew is on tap at several local hotels and yacht clubs.

The business had recently come to the council’s attention for not having required permits. Hobsons Bay strategic development director Natalie Walker said notices were issued on October 15. “Council’s planning enforcement and health officers were investigating the use of the shed building without the required planning and food registration permits,” she said. Crazy Horse Brewing co-owner Jack Davis said the business had a planning permit but had not received the documentation it needed from the council for food safety permits.

We can’t even prep for festivals … we’re having to cancel those - Jack Davis

“There was an inspection done in early September and since then we haven’t got any notification,” he said. “Because we were subletting we never got any of the direct mail to that address. “At the end of the day, we lost close to $15,000 to $20,000 worth of equipment [because of the fire] and we have no insurance. We’re running at a massive loss now. We physically can’t brew

to make it back. We can’t even prep for festivals that we have ready in the next two months – we’re having to cancel those. “This fire has basically devastated that opportunity for us.” He said he and brewery co-owner Vittorio Solano had always worked on being “above-board”. “That’s what we’ve always strived for,” he said. “This kind of thing is just something that we didn’t think would ever happen but it has. “But regarding the legalities from the council’s point of view, we’ve attempted to be above-board in every capacity.”

High fives for job well done “The boys worked together to raise funds and participate in the Common Cents Challenge. They spoke at the school assembly, inviting all grades to collect five-cent pieces for three weeks.” Together, students raised $491.25 – 9825 five-cent pieces – and presented their total to a zoo representative last week. The zoo’s Michelle Howard said it was great to have schools joining Zoos Victoria to fight the demise of Eastern Barred Bandicoots. Goya Dmytryshchak

Five cents doesn’t go far, but children at Williamstown North Primary School have used their common cents to raise nearly $500 for the Eastern Barred Bandicoot. Year 4 pupils Lorenzo Maurici, Angus Sciberras and Ryan Dimovski initiated the fundraising, which involved all pupils. Teacher Dianna Lane said the project was part of the children’s research into endangered species and working out ways to help preserve species. “After visiting the Werribee Open Range Zoo and seeing the Eastern Barred Bandicoot, which the boys thought was very cute and special because it only lives in Victoria, they decided to raise awareness and fight extinction of the eastern bandicoot through the captive and reintroduction program at the zoo,” Ms Lane said.

Foot traffic safety fears By Benjamin Millar Residents fed up with a dangerous Yarraville intersection are calling on VicRoads to help make it safer. Belinda Wallin said she had another close call recently, while crossing Williamstown Road at its intersection with Francis Street, on the ‘green man’ with her two young children in a double pram. She said a driver turning right from Francis Street into Williamstown Road failed to give way and almost drove straight into the three of them. “That whole intersection is just so dangerous,” she said. “We cross it multiple times a day to get to childcare, and we’re getting fed up with it.” Ms Wallin said she reported the latest incident to the police, but she would also like VicRoads to take responsibility for making the busy intersection safer. “We find people race to beat the lights; they just need to slow down,” she said. “The pedestrian crossing is the worst. ” Ms Wallin wants flashing pedestrian lights to alert drivers concentrating on other car and truck traffic. “It’s such a big intersection and there is no warning as such.” Ms Wallin said queues for the slip lane can grow so long that cars will bypass the lane and try to turn left after the traffic island, again posing a risk for pedestrians crossing there. Other nearby residents report seeing accidents and near misses at the intersection, but say complaints to VicRoads go unanswered. VicRoads regional director Vince Punaro said there were 10 casualty crashes at the intersection in the five years to June 30, four involved pedestrians, with one of these resulting in serious injuries.

West is high risk for asthma Children in Maribyrnong are being hospitalised with asthma at almost twice the national rate, prompting calls for improvements to air quality. The first Australian Atlas of Healthcare Variation released last week by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, reveals 73 Maribyrnong children spent time in hospital with asthma and related respiratory conditions from 2010-11 to 2012-13. The rate of 531 per 100,000 children aged three to 19 was 72 per cent higher than the national average, and more than triple the rate of Stonnington in Melbourne’s east. Western suburbs Greens MP Colleen Hartland said the data proves again just how much children’s health is suffering from truck diesel pollution. “We need a commitment from Dan Andrews that this will come to an end, that container trucks will be banned from local streets” she said. “The people of Maribyrnong deserve clean, fresh air.” Ms Hartland said the government has been negligent in not proceeding with the port-rail connection, a project with the potential to remove up to 3500 polluting trucks off local streets a day. A spokeswoman for Health Minister Jill Hennessy said the health department would work with clinicians and patients to review the atlas’s findings. Benjamin Millar

BRYCE IVES

Bach in present tense The spirit of Johann Sebastian Bach collides with the streets of Yarraville in Ricercar Ricercar, a new musical performance by the Present Tense ensemble. Bryce Ives said this “opera for the 21st century” he co-conceived with Nathan Gilkes is a vivid celebration of life, death, love, memory and legacy, marking the point at which the ordered artistry of Bach meets the explosive energy of contemporary theatre. “We wanted to create a work that examines the work of JS Bach, with a classical music element – but it’s also very accessible,” he said. “We are mixing in electric violins with opera singers – it’s a very uplifting, inspirational sound.” A ricercar is a form of early Baroque instrumental composition.

The music, design and choreography for the 12-movement piece are based on loops, number and patterns inspired by Bach’s gift for improvisation. Ives said that even centuries after Bach’s death, his musical genius lives all around us and is “built into our DNA”. “There are little stories, fragments of memory … it’s really a meditation on beginnings and endings, birth and death and legacies.” Ives said the epic scale of the work is a big step for Present Tense, but one for which they are ready, taking heart from the applause they hear from the street as they rehearse at Yarraville. Ricercar is at Theatre Works, 14 Acland Street, St Kilda, closing December 12. Tickets $35/25 at theatreworks.org.au or 9534 3388. Benjamin Millar

On December 1, his grandchildren helped him turn on the lights outside his James Avenue home. “I started doing it for my kids,” said Mr Cachia, who moved to the area in 1956. “Then they got married, of course, and they’ve got their own kids. “Plus, the people in the area love it – they look forward to it actually. The kids just get a real kick out of it.” He switches the lights and music on about 8pm each night until early January.

Last Christmas season, up to 1000 people passed by his home. Mr Cachia said he loved to bring joy to others at Christmas. “Christmas is a time where we all get together and make the most of it, because you just don’t know these days what happens. “But Christmas is time for getting the family together and regrouping.” A Facebook page, “Christmas Lights Displays 2015 Western Suburbs Group”, has been set up for people to share details about decorated homes around Hobsons Bay.

Son’s death drives mum By Goya Dmytryshchak An Altona mother who lost her son to leukemia three years ago is raising money for the organisation that helped her family in the last months of his life. Wendy Kostraby, who was recognised in the inaugural Hobsons Bay Inspirational Women Awards, is fundraising for Redkite cancer charity with donation cards that can be purchased at Altona Coles and at a sausage sizzle outside the store on December 15. Her son, Stefan, was diagnosed in April 2011 when he was 19. He went into remission in August the same year but the cancer returned three months later and he died in January 2012. Stefan, who went to Seaholme Primary and Bayside Secondary schools, was posthumously awarded as one of Hobsons Bay’s 25 most inspirational young people. After his initial diagnosis, he became a Muslim. His wish was to be buried as a Muslim and to have a traditional service in the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral out of respect for his mother and to represent his past life. His vision was for all religions to be united and to have tolerance for each other’s beliefs. “I remember, the last night Stefan said, ‘Mum, advocate on my behalf and for other teenagers with cancer’,” Ms Kostraby said. “One of his wishes was for a hospital ward for teenagers, where they could have WiFi and play games. “Teenagers are a separate group and it seems the medical system just caters for pediatric. The ones in the middle don’t have a proper space. They do it in England but we haven’t got it here. “And not just teenagers with cancer. What about the ones with special needs or a disability?”

Welcome mat out at beaches A trial to make Altona and Williamstown beaches wheelchair accessible will be held over summer. Rubber matting will be placed across the sand at Williamstown, and a beach wheelchair will be available for use at Altona. The trial responds to community calls for more accessible beaches. In August, people raised the idea of rubber matting on the Facebook group, ‘Altona, I lived there …’, and on Hobsons Bay council’s web page. Many supported the idea, saying rubber mats would also be good for people with prams or an unsteady gait. Mayor Peter Hemphill said rubber matting would be trialled at Williamstown beach to make it easier for wheelchairs, strollers and walkers to manoeuvre. “In Altona, we will be trialling a Sandcruiser beach wheelchair,” he said. “These two trials will allow many people with a disability to get onto the sand and close to the water for the first time in their lives.” Altona and Williamstown life saving clubs are partners in the trial. The clubs say life saving is an inclusive Australian institution and making beaches accessible for all enforces that message. The trial runs from December 5 to March 27 on weekends when the beach is patrolled. Book the beach wheelchair on 9932 1109 or at weekends at Altona Lifesaving Club on 0425 727 125. Goya Dmytryshchak

Brooklyn pong a ‘putrid’ burden By Ben Cameron A Brooklyn meat rendering company that caused a “rotting carcass” smell so bad it stopped nearby residents from inviting visitors to their homes has been found guilty of pollution charges. Australian Tallow Producers was found guilty of three counts of air pollution offences in the Melbourne Magistrates Court last week after an Environment Protection Authority Victoria investigation. The company was found to have breached the Environment Protection

Act 1970 after it polluted the atmosphere with odours offensive to humans on three separate occasions in June and September in 2011. ATP operates a rendering facility and manufactures tallow from mixed abattoir material on Geelong Road, Brooklyn. On June 22, 2011, the EPA received 13 complaints from nearby residents complaining about offensive odours coming from the site. Complainants described the odour as a “smell like sewerage, like rotting carcass”, and a “very, very strong putrid dead animal smell’’ which made one complainant say they felt like

throwing up. Another resident said they “had to lock all the doors and windows and could not have any fresh air in the house”. The EPA received similar complaints the following day and on September 21. An EPA officer who visited the area on June 22, 2011, reported a strong, offensive odour comprising of a mixture of “manure, blood, bone and tallow” coming from ATP’s premises. Further visits by EPA officers on June 23, 2011, and September 21, 2011, confirmed the stench, with one officer reporting they “felt close to vomiting”.

The company will be sentenced on December 21. EPA chief executive Nial Finegan said the EPA called on 11 witnesses, two expert witnesses and nine environment protection officers to give sworn evidence. “The outcome is a win for the Brooklyn community who have had to put up with localised pollution issues for too long,” he said. “No community should have to live with an odour so horrid that they can’t even have guests over, constantly feel nauseous and are forced to close their windows.”

Funds rebuild networks This year’s Hobsons Bay Community Fund will benefit nine community groups, schools and services sharing in $27,890 in grants, ranging from $1200 to $5000. Now in its 10th year, the fund has awarded 64 grants totalling about $150,000, and providing an ongoing legacy. One of last year’s recipients, the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, last week ran its first Discover Sailing program for Altona Meadows Primary School senior students, funded by a $2700 grant. Grants committee chairwoman Helen McVey said, since its inception in 2006, the fund had helped build networks, particularly for isolated and disadvantaged people. This year, two schools received funding: Laverton P-12 College to engage fathers with their children through a woodwork project, and Queen of Peace Primary School for its sensory native garden.

Early Childhood Management Services at Newport Gardens received a grant for its Generation Games program. The Link Centre, helping young people get into school, TAFE, an apprenticeship or employment, received funds to run a youth camp to an Aboriginal community in central Australia. Mind Australia was funded for its a horticultural program for people recovering from mental health issues. Gateway Community Services received funding for information sessions at Floyd Lodge and Williamstown’s high-rise public housing estates, while Joseph’s Corner will run a life skills program. Seabrook Kindergarten will hold a cultural community cooking program and Altona Meadows Kindergarten and Maternal Health Centre will use its grant for a sensory garden. Goya Dmytryshchak

Property boom in west’s ‘Toorak’ By Goya Dmytryshchak Williamstown has emerged as one of the top 10 growth suburbs in the west, with an 18 per cent increase in median house prices in six months. Domain Group senior economist Andrew Wilson said the median house price in Williamstown had risen to $1,065,000 in the six months to September. The median unit price went up 18.6 per cent to $540,000 in the same period. “Williamstown is certainly the Toorak of the west and it definitely has that prestige element to it for those looking on that side of the bridge,”

Mr Wilson said. “I guess after what’s been a quietish couple of years, it has really leapt back into the top 10 and that’s a very strong growth. “It’s a little surprising that Williamstown had a quieter period last year but I think it has made up for that now. “I think the other point is that it’s very, very thin for listings as well.” Wayne Sweeney, director of Sweeney Estate Agents Williamstown, said a lot of people aspired to live in the suburb because it was the Toorak of the west. “Being on the peninsula, with what it offers, is unique compared to all the other suburbs in

the western suburbs,” he said. “If you look at St Kilda and Hawthorn and Brighton, there are lots of comparable areas. “You can move from one suburb to another and they’re quite comparable in a lot of ways whereas Williamstown is by itself in the west. “Adjoining suburbs aren’t anything like it whatsoever. “Williamstown, with its uniqueness of being on the waterfront and with the best views in Melbourne just looking back on to Melbourne, . . . the Strand and the Esplanade, the two waterfronts, are in the top 100 streets of Melbourne.

“There are four or five yacht clubs and the historic nature of Williamstown, with the period homes. “You’ve also got the unique thing where there are no traffic lights in Williamstown, so it’s that country town still. “And it’s not a cut-through. You don’t drive through Williamstown to get to somewhere else quickly. “Interest rates may drop one more time in February. But whether they do or they don’t, I think you can still comfortably work on a capital gain increase in the next 12 months of somewhere from five to 10 per cent.”

Shifting sands merge Footscray of the 1950s and ’60s has been brought back to life in a new book published to celebrate the memory of one of its authors. Helen and Serge Cerne wrote Shifting together in alternate chapters, sharing the story from male and female perspectives about growing up in and around Footscray. Mr Cerne was an artist, writer and teacher at Bayside College, but died at the end of last year. Ms Cerne, a Victoria University teacher and co-ordinator of Western Union Writers, said she wanted to publish the book and launch an exhibition of her husband’s paintings to keep his voice and vision alive. The exhibition was held in Footscray during the BigWest Festival, along with the launch of Shifting, the true story of two children growing Shifting up in the aftermath of World War II. Ms Cerne said the couple’s paths almost crossed a number of times as children; Serge’s

family fleeing the aftermath of war and her own family, with a policeman father, passing through the same country Victorian towns and schools, before settling in Melbourne’s west. “We met at Footscray in year 12, but we had all these parallels in our lives,” she said. “It is really a collaborative autobiography – we did read each other’s chapters along the way, but we wrote very differently.” The manuscript sat in a drawer for two decades until a friend encouraged Ms Cerne to have it published soon after Serge’s death. “It was one way of grieving,” she said. “It’s a unique love story. Helen Garner [who launched the book] said it’s a slow burning fire.” Shifting, published by The Vulgar Press, is Shifting available at VU’s MetroWest bookshop. Benjamin Millar

Mosaic artist Julee Latimer. (Damjan Janevski)

Every piece counts Internationally-renowned Altona mosaic artist Julee Latimer unveiled her latest work at Newport Lakes last week. The park’s walking trails already have eight mosaics on rocks, which have been there for many years. In 2009, Friends of Newport Lakes commissioned Ms Latimer to replace one of the damaged ceramic mosaics with a newly designed and executed glass mosaic, The Southern Bell Frogs. In 2010, Ms Latimer completed a second work, Rainbow Lorikeet and Gulah. Her latest project has been to replace two more

artworks, damaged mostly by exposure to the elements, using the original choice of materials. “The new two are Dusky Moorhens and Honeyeaters and Fairy Wren,” she said. “The idea is that people can wander the trails, see the mosaics and then look for the real thing in the surrounding area. “The works add interest to the walks, and, being glass mosaic, they shimmer and sparkle at different times of the day according to light levels.”

MY PLACE When Ronel Langley moved from South Africa to Australia, she decided to call Altona home. Now living here with her partner, Marius, and their 16-year-old son, Dayne, she speaks with Goya Dmytryshchak. What’s your connection to Hobsons Bay? I am a resident of Altona. I fell in love with it the moment I first saw it. My partner chose Altona for us to start a new life in, and he couldn’t have picked a better place on this earth. Altona is my dream village, and I love everything about her. How did you come to the area? I packed a bag containing 33 kilograms and joined my partner in Altona for a visit, but promptly fell in love with the country, its people and its way of life, and decided to permanently join him here in December 2013. I haven’t looked back … not once.

What would you change about it? Very little. I would probably continue to look after its precious old heritage, showcasing more of its historic value, like the incredibly interesting road at The Pines – the first convict-built road between Altona and Melbourne. And generally just preserve the goodness of the place. It is refreshingly quaint and authentic.

(Supplied)

What do you love about Altona or Hobsons Bay more generally? The people. I love the openheartedness, the sense of community and the breathtaking beauty of the place. I am a lover of nature and have started the Altona Adventurers, an activity group with the most incredible people, who have created this amazing core of friendship and activity. It is one of my prides and joy. I am a community person.

What’s your fondest memory about living in this area? The safe open spaces, the beautiful scenes of nature. The smell of coffee while walking down Pier Street. The sight of the pier, which is ever

present and reassuring. The smell of the ocean drifting through our home. The call of the magpie at dawn. All favorite memories. And the faces of my Altonian Adventurers after a particularly great friendship walk.

What’s your favourite cafe/eatery? I love Stella’s. Their friendly and authentically Italian style of cuisine and the amazing open-natured approach of the owner, Ross, impressed me greatly. They also make good pizza, and I love the inside of the restaurant.

Sailors final push for Rio Some of the world’s best sailors are in Williamstown for the 2015 Para World Sailing Championships. Based at the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, the event started on Saturday and the final race is on Thursday (December 3). Club commodore David Seaman said Australian sailors were leading two of the three classes as of late on Monday. Mr Seaman said the championships were the final opportunity for countries to qualify for the Rio 2016 Paralympics. “The Aussies have qualified for Rio but many of the other countries need to qualify,” he said. “Over 150 volunteers have assisted in getting this event off the ground. “The RYCV installed special floating pontoons for this event – these were needed for

special access for the sailors. There are 84 boats in total competing over the three classes. A total of 136 sailors are registered for the event, from 31 countries.” Sailors are competing in three classes – the one-person keelboat (2.4mR class), the two-person keelboat (the skiff-like SKUD18 class for a mixed crew) and the three-person keelboat (the Sonar). “The event so far is running very well, all going to plan,” Mr Seaman said. It is only the second time the event has been held in the southern hemisphere. It is injecting an estimated $7 million impact into Victoria’s economy, including a $1 million boost to Hobsons Bay.

Stories woven together By Benjamin Millar Women in the west have been knitting up a storm as part of a yarn-bombing raid on Footscray. The Western Region Centre Against Sexual Assault (WestCASA) Knit into Action project brought together a range of women in a monthly knitting and crochet group, to share stories and create squares to be stitched together and used in yarn-bombing. Chief executive Jane Vanderstoel said the program has been running throughout the year and concludes today in Nicholson Street mall as part of the current 16 days of Action against Violence. “It included a group of textiles students at Gilmore College for Girls and community knitters, as well as clients and staff here at WestCASA,” she said. “The idea is to provide a space for our clients and community members to come together, to bring people together with a purpose.” Several trees in the mall have been yarn-bombed, and messages of support to survivors and strong statements of protest left there. Ms Vanderstoel said yarn-bombing offers a gentle way to be subversive and use a traditional women’s craft to make a social statement. “It’s about reclaiming space; it’s about encouraging people to engage with the community,” she said. “For us it’s not just about talking about those sexual assault experiences. “It’s about providing an opportunity for women to take a social action and make a statement.” Yarn bombers Jane Vanderstoel and Fran Goodwin.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds a Sri Lankan makeover of a fast food joint Sri Lankan tiramisu? What might that look and taste like? Basically, it’s a regular tiramisu configuration, just made with sweet Sri Lankan coffee, spiced with cumin and cardamom, the usual sponge fingers joined by gingernut biscuits, then topped with cashews and chewy praline. The textures are pretty much pure tiramisu, but the flavours are musty, mysterious and magical – not overly sweet and actually nicely on the bitter side. It’s the creation of co-proprietors and co-cooks Isuru Madusanka and Chiran Hemadas at their new baby, Fusion Ceylon. CTS has been to 27 Watton Street before, when it combined SL food with burgers, fish ‘n’ chips and the like. After that, before Isuru and Chiran arrived, it reverted to strictly fast-food under different management. The place still bears hallmarks of its fast-food heritage, but now there’s some nice wooden furniture that gives the place a sweet cafe vibe. These two blokes have background – many years between them working in top-shelf hotels – and they cleverly match the cooking of their SL culture with approaches a little more edgy. Their menu is short, but full of intrigue and of low prices. We choose some humble dishes for our first visit, and are very satisfied. Nasi goreng a la Ceylon ($13) seems not much different from regular versions, though Chiran tells me the spicing is not the same, and they use basmati rice instead of jasmine.

FUSION CEYLON Address: 27 Watton Street, Werribee. Phone: 9741 9656 It’s all good – the rice is packed with finely diced vegetables and chicken chunks, and the gooey fried egg sitting atop is just right, as is the nicely-charred chicken drumstick. Prawn crackers are, as always, unnecessary. The same vegie mix is found on the noodles kothu ($10), which is on the specials list. As with the more traditional roti kothu, in which roti is finely chopped with the other ingredients, here the noodles get the chop treatment. And, instead of chicken or pork, mine is served with lingu – house-made SL sausages that draw on a Dutch heritage. Chiran and Isuru make them with chicken or pork, vinegar, cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, pandan leaf and curry leaf. There’s one snag on top of my kothu and pieces mingled in, a distinctive and quite tangy sausage, not in the least confronting. The kothu noodles are served with what I’m told is a “mixed meat gravy”, for adding as I eat. It’s very nice and tasty.

WILLIAMSTOWN 87 Aitken Street, 3016 Gunn and Co: 9397 5555

Price: $1.45 million+

This is downtown Williamstown at its best, just a stoneâ€™s throw from the waterfront, and the cafe society that attracts, with the botanical gardens nearby, along with shops and public transport. This Federation-era beauty called Karinya has great period bones with standout features including ornate ceiling work (cornices and rosettes), old-fashioned light fittings, deep skirts, timber fret work and original fittings (light switches and door handles). At the same time, some serious innovation has gone into its more recent manifestation, injecting an open-plan

Auction: December 12 at 11.30am

layout across the rear extension that now incorporates a modern kitchen-dining zone and family area, a separate formal lounge room, a new main bathroom, a separate laundry and all-important storage spaces. The solid timber front door has coloured glass sidelights, an elegant entry to the hall, which leads to the four bedrooms. All are carpeted and two have built-in wardrobes. The main and the larger front bedroom both feature a period-style, cast-iron fireplace with a timber surround. The main bedroom is a clear standout with intricate ceiling work, a large window, ceiling fan, walk-in wardrobe and an en suite.

At the end of the hall, behind a leadlight panelled door, the 21st century pans out. This family-meals zone is a sophisticated, addition. An art deco hanging shelf and lots of cupboards will appeal to uptown tastes. The kitchen, with its monochromatic colour scheme (charcoal, granite benchtops and white timber cabinetry) has a breakfast bar, gas cooktop, an underbench oven and a dishwasher. The light, tiled main bathroom features a claw foot tub. The toilet is separate. A living space (fitted with sliding-frosted glass doors) doubles as a theatre room. There is a covered, timber decked, private

courtyard to one side, while at the rear, accessed from the living space, there is a timber-decked, covered pergola overlooking a 10 x 3 metre solar-heated, salt-chlorinated pool below a manual umbrella. There is a double carport at the back (with off-street and rear lane access). There are also two water tanks back here, perfect for keeping gardens thriving during hot weather. Inside, the house has ducted heating and cooling, a 5.1 kilowatt solar system and an alarm system. Eleanor Tabone

New recorders pick up the late stuff A new generation of video recorders aims to ensure you never miss the end of a TV show. By Adam Turner, of The Age Australiaâ€™s free-to-air TV schedule has always been a rough guide, at best, because the commercial networks constantly make lastminute changes. They also deliberately run shows late, hoping youâ€™ll keep watching because youâ€™ve missed the beginning of shows starting on the other channels â€“ a devious trick known as â€œbridgingâ€?. Itâ€™s not uncommon for the networks to run half an hour late in prime time, especially during live broadcasts. This obviously makes it difficult to record favourite shows if your video recorder relies on the advertised start times or the times listed in the on-screen Electronic Program Guide (EPG) thatâ€™s embedded in the broadcast signal. Itâ€™s no fun watching your favourite murder mystery only for it to end at the last ad break. Some video recorders deal with this by letting you add â€œpost-paddingâ€? to your recordings â€“ continuing to record for a few minutes after the scheduled finish time in hope of catching the end. But that chews through a lot more storage space, especially if your only option is to apply â€œglobalâ€? padding to every recording even though only a handful of shows run late. Thankfully, thereâ€™s a hidden feature in Australiaâ€™s digital TV broadcasts that can come to your rescue. Itâ€™s an extra signal known as Content Reference IDentifier (CRID) data. It lets compatible video recorders know when a program is running late. The real-time CRID data ignores published guides; it even ignores the EPG embedded in the broadcast signal. Instead, the CRID data announces whatâ€™s actually screening rather than whatâ€™s supposed to be screening.

CRID data can save the day when youâ€™re recording a show such as The Voice, which tends to run late. Your video recorder will keep recording until the CRID data says the show is actually finished. Think of the CRID data as a friend who lives on your couch and records all your favourite shows, watching to see whatâ€™s actually on TV right now rather than blindly trusting the TV guide and the clock on the wall. This data has been lurking in Australiaâ€™s digital TV signals for several years, but only a handful of recorders have taken advantage of it. Freeview launched a CRID-compatible EPG

back in 2010, but it only worked with a handful of devices. The new FreeviewPlus EPG shows more promise. It was launched 12 months ago, offering an on-screen guide for Smart TVs and set-top boxes, with the bonus of built-in access to Catch Up TV. In October, the $369 AerialBox T2200, was launched â€“ the first video recorder that relies on the FreeviewPlus guide to schedule recordings. The AerialBox T2200 only lets you add 15 minutes of post-padding to recordings, which doesnâ€™t seem enough. Thankfully, behind the scenes it monitors the CRID data so it keeps

SPORT D-Day is early for United The calendar only flipped to December yesterday but Footscray United is already at a critical juncture in Turf Cricket west A1 season. United has fallen behind the eight-ball with only one win in four starts and is in desperate need of a pick-me-up. “If we lose this week, we’re a long way behind for finals,” United batsman Stuart Ainge told Star Weekly. United’s leg spinning all-rounder Rasika Fernando sensed his side’s desperation and was all business on the opening day of a two-day clash with a Werribee Centrals side in a similar predicament at Galvin Park on Saturday. Fernando did his best to have United in the box seat at stumps on day one. He took 2-27 with the ball and at one stage

was on a hat-trick. He also snared two catches in the slips. With Centrals all out for 177, Fernando then took on the challenge of opening the batting, powering his way to 40 not out to leave United in a winning position at 0-56 with a day to bat. “He hit the first ball he faced for six,” Ainge said. “That says a bit about his attitude. That last hour before stumps, when we had 15 overs to bat really put us in front in the game.” It was far from a one-man show for United. Skipper Steve McKay was superb with his off spin, taking 3-34 off 12, while Geeth Silva and Srinath Vanapalli snared two wickets apiece. But it will take all hands on deck again on Saturday for United to reach their tricky target. “It’s a bowlers deck, so it’s always hard to bat there,” Ainge said. “It’s no certainty yet.” In senior division, Yarraville Club and

Bonbeach Tangy are evenly poised after the Clubbers posted 224. In north-west division, Spotswood left Laverton dazed at McLean Reserve, wrapping up first-innings points in a day. Laverton was rolled for just 63 before the Woodsmen powered to 4-223, Ross Horkings leading the way with 88 not out. Meanwhile, Steven Kukucka is the talk of Footscray ANA after belting 30 fours and 12 sixes en route to 213 for the second XI against Sunshine YCW. He also brought up his 7000th run during the innings. St Andrews Footscray stalwarts Mick Gregory and Simon Krygger had significant milestones in recent weeks. Gregory broke the Saints’ games record of 280, while Krygger notched his 250th game.

Teen star in for the long haul Billie Arch has learnt already that not everything goes to plan in the life of a young athlete. But her adaptability and refusal to be knocked down is proof she has all the makings of a champion. For the past five years, Arch has owned the 400 metre event at both little athletics for Brimbank and in youth competition for Western Athletics. She has been crowned national champion five times and all indications were that a sixth crown wasn’t too far away. With none of her fellow competitors able to stop her, only bad luck could get in Arch’s way. The 16-year-old was struck down by a viral infection last year which derailed her preparation for the 2014-15 season. But despite being sidelined for two months, Arch didn’t want her hard work to go to waste. “When I got sick it meant I couldn’t do 400 metre races because it would be too tough on my immune system,” she said. “With my coaches, we thought I might as well try long jump. It would be a bit easier on me and it might just be a bit of fun. From there, things just sort of happened.” Soon after making the switch, Arch finished third at the Victorian Championships, which qualified her for the nationals. And despite being a relative rookie in the event, she went on to claim the gold medal. “I couldn’t believe it,” Arch said. “I still don’t really believe it. I don’t even really see myself as a long jumper.” The win meant Arch was selected to represent Australia at the Commonwealth Youth Games held in Samoa in September. And her fairytale run continued, with the Keilor Downs College student smashing her personal best by 15 centimetres to jump 6.04 metres. The effort was enough to claim a silver medal and highlight her name as a rising star on the world stage. “It’s definitely the highlight for me” she said. “It was such an amazing experience to compete overseas and compete in Australian gear..” Arch will continue to try her luck in the long jump, with an eye towards qualifying for next year’s world youth championships. For her outstanding sporting achievements Arch has been named as a monthly nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star award. The award is run by Sunshine Western Region Sports Club in conjunction with Star Weekly. Arch will receive $1000 donated by Yarraville Club Cricket Club and other prizes to assist in her future sporting goals. The Don Deeble Rising Star award recognises young athletes in the western suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at a state and national level.To nominate someone email ltwomey@starweekly.com.au Liam Twomey

■ How

strong is football in the western suburbs? That was the question on everyone’s lips after last week’s two AFL drafts. Selected in the rookie draft were Williamstown VFL pair Andrew Gallucci (Carlton) and Adam Macron (Richmond) and bolter Luke Goetz (Bulldogs) after just nine matches for Western Jets. In contrast to the six Jets drafted last year, it was disappointing and it prompted former Bulldogs star Steve Kretiuk to post on social media: “Disappointing to see no local Western Region players picked up in AFL draft. The WRFL needs to do more to help develop players at a younger age before they get to Western Jets. It all starts at a junior age, where both the league and clubs must focus on creating better players and not just on winning games. Take the selfish win-at-all-costs attitudes out and then we may see more local boys playing in the AFL.” As a former Western Jets coach and current senior coach at Hoppers Crossing, Kretiuk has the credentials to have his say and his thoughts have been echoed by many others on social media. I’ve seen the standard of the under-18 finals series competition drop dramatically in recent years and the numbers of local boys making it to VFL level has fallen, away too. I applaud Kretiuk for airing his thoughts and I hope someone listens and acts.

■ Interesting

week for the crew at Hoppers Crossing Cricket Club. Last Sunday’s charity matches between Hoppers and Werribee raised $3598 for Movember. The Tigers won the two games and a good day was enjoyed by all. Then Hoppers played Sub-District matches against Malvern, with the first XI away and the seconds at home. The seconds needed to take four wickets for 36 to earn first-innings points, but then the computerised sprinkler system turned on and it was game over, match abandoned. The first XI had its moments defending a modest total of 133. Malvern wickets fell consistently and a tight finish was on the cards. With the scores tied and one Malvern wicket left, Cameron Nicol effected a run-out from square leg to earn the boys from Hogans Road a tie.

■ There’ll

be old and new faces at Barkers Cafe at Whitten Oval this Friday night, for the Bulldogs Past Players and Officials Association’s pre-Christmas function. Some greats of the past will be there, as will last week’s draftees. Kevin Hillier

Bulldogs put bite on A’s By Lance Jenkinson Yarraville-Footscray produced a remarkable comeback to mow down local rival Altona by one shot in a Bowls Victoria premier division cliffhanger at Civic Parade on Saturday. The Bulldogs seemed to be down and out at the halfway mark but somehow leapt up off the canvas to emerge with a victory to savour. Bulldogs skip Wayne Roberts said it was one of the most unlikely wins in his time at the Francis Street club. “We were 1000-1, we were never going to win,” he told Star Weekly. “We were behind all day but we just turned it around.” The Yarraville-Footscray players turned up thinking their best chance of an upset was to hit hard and early. But the Bulldogs were miserable in the early ends and trailed every rink at the match’s mid-point. Something seemed to click for the Bulldogs as soon as the twilight hours kicked in. “We wanted to get off to a good start because the pressure was on them after three losses,” Roberts said. “I thought if we could get a start, they would probably have a bit of self-doubt in their heads. “They got the start and maybe they thought they were cruising.” Yarraville-Footscray’s turnaround was sparked by Chris Ball, who beat Mathew Rennex 24-13. Ball trailed 12-2 before reeling off a staggering 22 shots to one. Roberts trailed Altona player-coach Brett Foley by six but stormed home for a 23-19 win. Ray Coulter was also six down before fighting back to tie 22-apiece with Brad Peck.

‘Human highlight’ gets his chance with Carlton Andrew Gallucci must have wondered when his time was going to come … not to be drafted, but simply to play at senior level with Williamstown in the VFL. Gallucci spent his first two seasons with the Seagulls in the development league team for all bar one game. A weaker person might have thrown in the towel at the end of 2014, but Gallucci would bide his time in the development league, and wait his turn. It was a decision that paid off handsomely on Friday when he was selected by Carlton, the club he supports, as pick 19 in the AFL rookie draft. “It’s a great lesson for state league players to stay in the system, and a reminder that everyone develops at different rates,” Williamstown football manager Chris Dixon told Star Weekly. Gallucci built a reputation almost overnight as one of the premier crumbing forwards in

the VFL. The 21-year-old booted 29 goals in 19 games this season and was a key plank in the Seagulls premiership team. But it was the defensive layer that Gallucci has added to his game that attracted the interest of the recruiters. “He was always the human highlights reel, was able to kick all of the goals and always had that speed, but unless he could use it defensively it was not going to be much use for an AFL draft point of view,” Dixon said. Seagulls’ fans will miss one of the most lethal small forward tandems in the VFL when Gallucci splits from his partner-in-crime Anthony Anastasio. “The boys have been joking that Batman and Robin have been split up,” Dixon said. “They were obviously pretty dynamic for us in the front half, so at least we’ve still got half the package.”

The rookie draft brought together a near unbreakable duo in mates Adam Marcon and Kane Lambert. Marcon will join Lambert at Richmond after being selected at pick 47. The pair played junior football at Preston together, moved to the Northern Knights in the TAC Cup, went on to the Northern Blues in the VFL, and then transferred to Williamstown. Lambert was picked up by Richmond last season and Dixon jokingly said Marcon was only left behind in the Seagulls nest because the Tigers had to choose one or the other. Marcon got to the big league in his own right. The 23-year-old was one of the VFL’s most dependable midfielders, with a game average of 23 disposals and eight tackles last season. “He’s a genuine quality VFL midfielder and now it’s up to him,” Dixon said.

Work pays off for Gulls

AFL draftee a bolt from the blue

By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown is seeing the fruits of its focus on player development. Two of its stars were selected at Friday’s rookie draft, with Andrew Gallucci landing at Carlton with pick 19 and Adam Marcon joining Richmond with pick 47. It capped a fairytale season for the Seagulls, who claimed their first VFL premiership since 2003. The Seagulls are the success story of recent AFL drafts, with more players taken from their list than any other VFL club in the past four years. Football manager Chris Dixon was confident Gallucci and Marcon would land on an AFL list. He had often talked up their talents over the past year but could never be sure where the recruiters’ minds would be come November. “It’s a great way to finish off the 2015 season, getting two guys over the line,” he told Star Weekly. “It’s always the unknown at this time of the year and even I was sort of nervous. “When you see the names pop up on the screen, you know they are guys who have just realised their dreams, so we’re rapt for them.” Williamstown ticked off both goals it set out to achieve at the start of the season. The Seagulls desperately wanted to break a 12-year premiership drought and did so with victory over Box Hill Hawks in the grand final in September. As a stand-alone club, Williamstown needs a different selling point to AFL-aligned teams and the promise to players is that it will do its utmost to help them achieve their dream of playing in the AFL. Of course, the individual has to have the talent and work ethic to be drafted, but the Seagulls will provide an environment where they can succeed. “Since 2012, we’ve had more players taken into the AFL system than any other VFL club, something we take great pride in,” Dixon said. “We obviously had a great deal of team success this year, but we’re all about individual development. We want to win premierships and we want to get guys drafted.” No matter how good your program, there will always be hard-luck stories and the Seagulls had more than usual this season. Sam Dunell had a stellar first season with the Seagulls but, at 25, is a player clubs would only likely consider on a needs basis and no club called his number. So he will return to the Seagulls and be in discussions again next year. Michael Gibbons won the Norm Goss Medal for best on ground in the grand final but was overlooked, while Willie Wheeler continues to put his name forward. A name who could be in the mix a year from now is key defender Tim Currie. “He was really close to being picked up,” Dixon said. “If he has another good 12 months, there’s no doubt he’ll be on the radar.” What Gallucci, Marcon and other Seagulls taken in recent seasons have shown is that hard

work and a little bit of luck can pay off. “All the guys who have been taken from us have been in different circumstances,” Dixon said. “You’ve had Brett Goodes, who was a little bit older, Cameron Wood was looking for a second time in the system, Adam came across from an aligned club [Northern Blues] to a stand-alone club and guys like Jack Frost and

Andrew Gallucci did some of his best work at Williamstown in heavy traffic. (Kristian Scott)

Andrew Gallucci have done the hard yards in the development team and then come through. “It shows there are different ways you can get drafted and get into the system.” Meanwhile, the Seagulls have signed former Western Bulldogs tall Ayce Cordy on a two-year deal. He will fill the key forward vacancy left by outgoing premiership star Scott Clouston.

Luke Goetz has taken a slightly unconventional path to the AFL . . . the 18-year-old was a rookie draft bolter, taken by the Western Bulldogs with pick 29. Goetz, a promising ruckman-forward with Altona Juniors in the WRFL, landed on the radar of Western Jets only in the second half of last season’s TAC Cup. “He’s certainly what you’d call a late developer,” Jets coach Torin Baker told Star Weekly. “He wasn’t involved in any of our talent pathway programs through the 15s or 16s. “He’s been training with us over the last few weeks and was going to be a 19-year-old with us next season.” After the Jets were alerted to Goetz’s potential, Baker and Jets region manager Shane Sexton decided to check him out playing for Altona Juniors and liked what they saw. “I saw him playing in two roles really well,” Baker said. “He led out as a forward and got great separation from his defender and took a couple of really nice marks on leads. “Then when he was playing in the ruck, he was running around the ground like a small man, which was impressive to see.” Goetz was inserted into the Jets line-up in the TAC Cup and provided a little snapshot of his potential. He had 14 hit-outs in his debut against Eastern Ranges, a number he bettered three more times in nine games. His endeavour could not be questioned either, averaging 2.2 tackles per game. It’s Goetz’s athletic attributes that should excite Bulldogs fans. “His speed for someone who is 202cm is top end and he has great endurance,” Baker said. But a word of caution . . . Goetz will be a long-term project and Western Bulldogs supporters have been warned they will have to be patient. By landing him now, the Bulldogs warded off other clubs from taking him at next year’s draft. “He’s very raw, hasn’t been through the pathway, he hasn’t had the same sort of experience at TAC Cup level that most drafted kids do and he’s a tall so he’ll take a bit of extra time,” Baker said. Goetz was selected in the draft while he was doing community work in Cambodia with classmates from Emmanuel College. Lance Jenkinson
