Street sizzle hits a snag
(Joe Mastroianni)
The sights, sounds and smells of Yarraville’s Saturday sausage sizzle have been snuffed out. Maribyrnong council has ordered butcher Andrew’s of Yarraville to immediately cease its popular weekly cheese kransky sizzle, telling the business it has the wrong permit. Lisa Vourvahakis, who runs the shop with husband George (pictured), said the award-winning butcher had been running the sizzle for 12 years with no complaints from the public or the council. “A lot of people are really upset about this,” she said. “The council knows what we have been doing for 12 years. They were OK with it all that time, but suddenly they tell us we have to stop.” Maribyrnong council sustainable development director Nigel Higgins said the business held a permit for a table and chairs on the footpath but was selling products which did not comply with the permit. “When this was brought to their attention, they advised us they didn’t intend to continue to operate the sausage sizzle and would not apply for the relevant permit,” he said. But Ms Vourvahakis disputed this account, saying they had told the council they would do whatever it took to keep the sausage sizzle alive. Benjamin Millar
Green light for distributor By Benjamin Millar A tunnel will be built under Yarraville and a new road will cross the Maribyrnong River after the state government yesterday gave the proposed Western Distributor the go ahead. Premier Daniel Andrews announced that Transurban’s $5.5 billion project will be funded through a combination of tolling on the Western Distributor, an extension of tolling on CityLink for another 10 to 12 years, about $400 million in state government funding and additional federal money. “We’re getting on with the Western
Distributor to provide an alternative to the West Gate Bridge, slash congestion on the M1 from the west to the south-east and create thousands of new jobs,” he said. The project will also widen the West Gate Freeway from eight to 12 lanes and include an elevated road above Footscray Road, linking with CityLink and the CBD. The government says the roadway would take 6000 trucks off the West Gate Bridge each day and up to 75 per cent of trucks off Francis Street and Somerville Road. A ‘reference business case’, released alongside the announcement, shows a $1.30 benefit for
every dollar invested. Construction would begin in 2018 and be completed by 2022. Existing truck curfews on local roads will be extended once construction has completed. Transurban chief executive Scott Charlton said the Western Distributor would shape the future of the city. But Yarraville residents claim Transurban has been selective in its use of findings from community consultation, picking up on comments about removing trucks from local streets but ignoring concerns about the loss of open space and impact on Stony Creek. Concerned Locals of Yarraville spokesman
Scott Ellerton said the project’s impact on residents and green space was unacceptable. Friends of Stony Creek president Steve Wilson said the freeway flyover would have a devastating impact on bird and animal life in the reserve. And the Maribyrnong Truck Action Group is demanding state-of-the-art tunnel filtration and a ban on trucks on residential streets. On a visit to the site with Opposition Leader Matthew Guy on Friday, shadow roads minister Ryan Smith told Star Weekly he was concerned by a lack of transparency and likely impact of the project on green space and nearby residents.

Meter deal skews council budget By Benjamin Millar A $600,000 blackhole has been punched in the Maribyrnong council budget following its decision to scrap paid parking at Yarraville Village and Footscray CBD until the end of summer. Maribyrnong councillors voted 6-0 at an often fiery special meeting last Friday to immediately suspend parking meter operations until February 29. A further report on traffic and parking management options in both areas will go to the February 16 council meeting. Council chief executive Stephen Wall
confirmed the estimated revenue loss of the decision would be in excess of $600,000. “As with any loss in revenue, council will have to consider where savings can be made.” The decision to install 17 parking meters covering 97 parking spaces in Yarraville has been dogged by controversy for more than 12 months. The matter came to a violent head at the November 17 council meeting when Cr Grant Miles was punched and Cr Nam Quach was body-slammed and kicked. Cr Sarah Carter brought a motion to Friday’s meeting as a holiday period compromise to the contentious introduction of the paid parking.
Cr Quach moved an amended motion that the parking meters also be switched off in Footscray CBD. The motion was passed unanimously, despite Labor councillors criticising the “ambush” as “gotcha politics” and “policy on the run”. Cr Quach said it would be unfair to switch off Yarraville meters but not those at Footscray. “This is in the interest of fairness. I don’t see why the same application of policy framework should differ.” Cr Quach had earlier supported a failed motion by Cr Miles that the machines remain on in both areas, citing a summary of traffic data analysis by Austraffic that showed
an increase in parking turnover at Yarraville. Mayor Cameron McDonald said the decision gave the council time to gather and assess more evidence on the positive and negative effects the meters had had on traffic, traders and residents. “Do we need to get more business back into our commercial areas? Would free parking make a difference? I don’t see a difference between Footscray and Yarraville. The question is how do we keep our businesses going?” Cr McDonald said the council should be able to absorb the loss of revenue. ■ Traders

New hurdles for autism families By Goya Dmytryshchak An Altona Meadows mother says her son, who has autism, will suffer after Western Autistic School cut its Tuesday arts program and increased Saturday social club term fees from $40 to $211. Jasmine Locke’s son, William, 10, attends programs run by the Western Autistic School at its Niddrie and Laverton campuses. “Parents have recently been informed that, due to funding, the Tuesday arts program is being cut completely,” Ms Locke said. “On Saturdays, the school runs a social skills program for three different age groups. The
parents have just been informed that there will be a fee increase, from $40 per term to $211 per term. “At the end of the day, children like my son will not be able to attend Saturday Club and, with his arts program being cancelled, there is nothing left to support him within the community. “William is so upset by these changes as it was his way of feeling like he could contribute and feel like he belonged to something outside of home.” Parents have started a petition to keep the programs as they are. Western suburbs Liberal MP Bernie Finn,
whose son has autism, said he was shocked and would raise the matter in Parliament this week. “I know, with my own son, those sorts of social programs are just so very, very important. “They can make or break and without them those children’s future probably could be in jeopardy. It really is that important,” Mr Finn said. Education Department spokesman Steve Tolley said funding decisions like this were a matter for schools and school councils. “Any decisions made by the school or school council are not a result of any funding cuts,”
he said. Western Autistic School principal Mary Thomson said in recent years, the school had delivered some programs for students with autism who did not attend the school. “These programs have been mainly funded by Western Autistic School, which has put a strain on the school’s finances,” she said. “Our school council recently agreed to discontinue the arts programs, which have been operating for a small number of external students. “The council is also asking families whose children attend the Saturday Club to meet the cost of operating the program.”
Asthma hits west’s kids and instigated truck curfews during school crossing hours on Yarraville’s Somerville Road, and night and weekend curfews on Footscray’s Moore Street in 2014. “As we wait, we breathe the diesel particulate matter from more than 22,000 trucks using our residential streets as a rat-run to and from the Port of Melbourne every day,” Ms McArthur said. She added that EPA air quality monitoring had shown Yarraville’s Francis Street had “the dubious honour” of being Australia’s most polluted residential street. Benjamin Millar

Government agencies are failing to protect the health of children, a group seeking reductions in air pollution in the inner west has claimed. Star Weekly last week reported children at Maribyrnong were being hospitalised with asthma at almost twice the national rate and more than three times the rate of areas in Melbourne’s east. Maribyrnong Truck Action group president Samantha McArthur said this highlighted a lack of government commitment to tackle pollution. “We are shocked by this report and feel absolutely powerless to change this situation,” she said. Ms McArthur said the Trucks and the Inner West partnership group had failed. The group was formed in 2013 by the chief executives of VicRoads, the EPA and Maribyrnong council, together with the Department of Health,

Altona sprouts a party An Eat My Street planting party will be held in Bayview Street, Altona, this month. Under the Eat My Street program, edible gardens are being planted Australia-wide. Food4Good, which runs the program, wants to transform entire streets into edible community gardens. Food4Good ambassador Marie Wilson, an Altona resident for more than 20 years, said that after two of her close friends were diagnosed with multiple scleroris she began to think about improving her health through homegrown food. “The program provides an opportunity for communities to move towards a more sustainable and healthy lifestyle,” Ms Wilson said. “There’s a growing need for neighbours to get to know each other and I see edible streets as a great conversation starter. The Eat My Street program helps neighbours get their
edible gardens started and even provides a barbecue and live music at the Eat My Street planting party.” Ms Wilson said it wasn’t necessary to have a green thumb to be part of the program. “You don’t have to be a gardening expert because the no-dig gardens we plant are designed to be simple to build and maintain.” The planting party will be held at the home of Aleisha Rasheed, president of Altona Community Gardens. Ms Rasheed’s group has developed a financial and business plan to present to Hobsons Bay council in a bid to start a garden on public land. Food4Good is seeking submissions for people wanting to transform their streets into edible gardens. For your own Eat My Street planting party, visit www.food4good.com.au Goya Dmytryshchak

Port deal to boost port legacy By Goya Dmytryshchak
1157676-AM41-14
The state government has announced it will give $3 million to Seaworks at Williamstown if legislation to privatise the Port of Melbourne passes through Parliament. Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said the money would help the Seaworks maritime precinct at Ann Street pier develop as a museum for boats, exhibitions and events. “The history of Williamstown is intimately linked to its maritime history, and Seaworks does a magnificent job in promoting that heritage,” he said.
“With this funding, Seaworks will bring more tourists and more jobs to the west. “Passing this bill will breathe new life into a much-loved part of Melbourne’s maritime heritage.” Seaworks is Hobsons Bay’s second-biggest visitor attraction after Scienceworks, drawing more than 100,000 people each year to its events and to the Sea Shepherd fleet moored at the Ann Street pier. Seaworks Foundation chairman Trevor Huggard said the $3 million would kickstart redevelopment of the former Melbourne Harbour Trust Workshop – known as the big
shed – as part of a bigger precinct revival plan. “The funding will enable Seaworks to extend the mezzanine floor in the shed for more exhibition space, toilets and a range of exciting facilities and great tourism drawcards to benefit the community,” Mr Huggard said. Hobsons Bay deputy mayor Sandra Wilson said the council looked forward to working with stakeholders to redevelop Seaworks. “No doubt, enhancements to the maritime heritage and events features of Seaworks will add significantly to the area’s many existing offerings,” she said. “[It] will bring even more people into
Hobsons Bay, which will be great for our local businesses.” Mr Noonan said a new port lease would also give the council planning control of Greenwich Bay at Newport, which is now under the Port of Melbourne planning scheme. He said this meant the entire Williamstown waterfront would be under the council’s control, except for Ann Street pier and a security zone between Gellibrand and Breakwater piers. Treasurer Tim Pallas rejected reports that a new container island would be built south of Webb Dock, which Strand residents feared would obstruct their city views.

Bay reveals its secrets By Goya Dmytryshchak From birds whose wings turn into fins, to males that give birth, 80 per cent of the marine life off our southern shores is found nowhere else on earth. Now, the secrets of Port Phillip Bay have been revealed in a documentary featuring world-class underwater imagery, including footage from Jawbone Marine Sanctuary at Williamstown. Aquatic scientist Sheree Marris heads the Melbourne Down Under campaign, which has produced a DVD and book revealing the bay’s underwater wonderland. She said Jawbone, named after its shape, had been fenced off by a coastal rifle range for more than 80 years, allowing marine life to flourish. The documentary features images of the sanctuary’s seagrass meadows and time-lapse sequences of the mangroves, which are nurseries and habitats for many marine animals. It also features the area’s sea urchins, seastars, globefish, dumpling squid and octopi. “Now it’s a protected area so nothing’s allowed to be taken from there,” Ms Marris said. “The main driver of the campaign is to make people aware of what we have on our front doorstep. “It’s about raising awareness and creating a marine stewardship ethic in the community, getting people to be really proud of our marine environment and wanting them to explore it.” The Melbourne Down Under documentary, produced by Jarrod Boord, can be seen at free community screenings around Port Phillip Bay, including at Williamstown on December 9 and Altona on January 13. Screenings are followed by a Q&A session. Details: melbournedownunder.com.au

Protesters shut down abattoir Animal rights activists chained themselves to a Laverton pig slaughterhouse’s gas chamber on Monday to protest ‘stunning’ by carbon dioxide. Four protesters walked into Diamond Valley Pork Slaughterhouse about 2am on Monday, accessing an area where carbon dioxide (CO2) is used to render pigs unconscious, causing the abattoir to shut down for hours before police moved in. The protest coincides with the release of footage by Animal Liberation activists, who secretly filmed pigs before they were killed. One wore an oxygen tank to position hidden cameras. Activist Noah Hannibal said the footage was the result of a two-year undercover investigation into the horrors of the slaughtering industry. “This is the standard way of killing pigs in Australia; they are killed with carbon dioxide. It burns … it’s an horrific death.” Australian Pork Limited’s Emily Mackintosh accused the activists of releasing “sensationalist footage” ahead of Christmas to suppress pork sales. Ms Mackintosh said footage taken inside an abattoir is never pleasant, “but the same could be said of a surgical operation unit inside a hospital as well”. “It usually takes anywhere from eight to 10 seconds for a pig to become unconscious. It’s a bit like humans having anaesthetic,” she said.

Commuter threatens to shoot By Benjamin Millar
Arna Dionysopoulos with First Constable Simone Peirce. (Benjamin Millar)
A man threatened to shoot a fellow commuter during a harrowing racial attack on a train from the CBD to Footscray. The man told Arna Dionysopoulos he would love to put a gun to her head and shoot her then do the same to her parents. Ms Dionysopoulos boarded the train at Melbourne Central about 4.20pm on Wednesday. The man got on at North Melbourne and sat opposite her. She said he began abusing her after seeing her surname on an identification tag. The Australia-born IT consultant, the daughter
of a Greek father and German mother, said she was told, “Wogs don’t belong here, you should get out of Australia. Your country sucks. I’ll put a gun to your head and shoot you.” The 26-year-old Tarneit woman said she tried to ignore the man before taking his photo and moving to stand by a door. “I realised he wasn’t just someone who was just talking, it could actually be really serious,” she said. “It’s shocking, I’ve lived here my whole life. Being Australian is quite important to me.” When another commuter told the man to calm down he warned that he was carrying four knives and threatened to use them. Ms
Dionysopoulos left the train at Footscray but was followed by her abuser. She reported the matter to station staff and called triple-0. Footscray police’s First Constable Simone Peirce said everyone had the right to ride a train without fear of being abused. “Arna is quite upset and it’s unacceptable in today’s society,” she said. The man is described as Caucasian, 173-183cm tall, of thin build and unshaven. He was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and dark-coloured cap.

Newport sports delight Newport’s $230,000 Bryan Martyn Oval multi-sport training facility was officially opened on Friday. The centre has flexible netting for cricket training on six synthetic wickets that can be packed away to leave an acrylic netball court. Hobsons Bay council contributed $120,000 and the state government $70,000 towards the project. Newport Power Netball Club put in $20,000 and Newport Digman Cricket Club contributed $16,420 and $3500 of in-kind support. Newport Power Netball Club president Rachael Ferrari said her 200 members were thrilled with the floodlit court after previously having to train in the carpark. “When Bryan Martyn Oval was being developed, that was the only spot the netball club could actually train in,” she said. The club
has grown from about 80 to 200 members in under two years. Ms Ferrari said the best thing about the new court was the lighting. “We can actually now train at night. We’ve been hiring facilities for our older girls. We’ve probably hired four courts around the area so all of our teams could train during the week of an evening and now we don’t have to do that purely because we have our own facility with lights.” Mayor Peter Hemphill said sport infrastructure would be a focus of his mayoral year. “There will be a number of sports-specific workshops with sports clubs in the new year to discuss their future needs and the use and maintenance of our existing facilities,” he said.

Jury clears North rookie of rape North Melbourne footballer Majak Daw says he can “get through anything in life” after being acquitted of three rape charges by a County Court jury. The relief among Mr Daw’s supporters was plain to see as family members and friends cried when the jury last week found him not guilty of raping a 15-year-old girl at Altona Meadows in 2007, when he was 16. Outside court, Mr Daw’s father, William, crossed himself and cried “hallelujah”. The footballer was more restrained, but put a hand to his eyes when the jury of seven women and five men delivered the last of the three verdicts, a day after deliberations began. Soon after, Mr Daw smiled as he fronted a large media pack to describe the trial as a “tough time, a tough nine days”. “I just want to thank all my family and friends for being here for me,” he said. “I’ve been through this; I can get through anything in life.” As a refugee from war-torn Sudan and a footballer recruited as a teenager and appointed by the AFL as a multicultural ambassador well before the first of his 16 league games, Mr Daw, now 24, has had his share of public attention. That interest never abated during his trial, even though judge Mark Dean stressed to the jurors the case had nothing to do with Mr Daw’s background or current employment. As defence counsel David Sexton said, this was “a trial about children”. Mr Daw was accused of raping the girl – who he went to school with – in a reserve at Altona Meadows in March 2007, after they’d left a party together. Mr Daw on Monday told the jury some sexual activity took place, but that what occurred was consensual. He denied vaginal intercourse occurred. In pleading not guilty to the charges,
North Melbourne player Majak Daw was cleared of rape charges in the County Court last Thursday. (Eddie Jim)
Mr Daw maintained the complainant did not cry or scream and was “in control” when she initiated the activity. “She initiated it. I was happy enough to be engaging. We were both kissing … she was very happy to be doing this.” Prosecutor Andrew McKenry later urged the jury to put aside the footballer’s evidence because it appeared scripted, too rehearsed and implausible. In response, Mr Sexton said his client’s
evidence was straightforward and unvarnished. Mr Sexton said there were “too many unanswered questions” over the complainant’s evidence, as she had “chopped and changed” her account to three police officers in 2007 and a fourth investigator last year. She failed to mention some alleged offending when she first spoke to police, he said. The trial heard the complainant’s friend came across the pair while searching for the girl. She told the jury she heard crying and saw Mr
Daw lying on the complainant. Mr Sexton said the friend had pressured the complainant to report the matter in 2007, and the complainant, now 24, was pressured last year by her then boyfriend, at a time when Mr Daw was a high profile AFL player. Mr Daw was arrested in May last year. He played only two AFL games in 2015 and was delisted in October, but was last week re-drafted onto North’s rookie list. Adam Cooper, The Age

Meter freeze warms up traders By Benjamin Millar Traders in Yarraville and Footscray are celebrating the summer freeze on parking fees. Footscray Traders Association president Ben Coyle said the decision was a good thing in the lead-up to Christmas. “It was unfair when they put them in Footscray first,” Mr Coyle said. “It’s one council – it [paid parking] should be everywhere. But Yarraville has been vehemently opposed to the whole thing.” Business operators in Yarraville claim the introduction of parking meters to the
area has cut into their bottom line by as much as 30 per cent. Yarraville Traders Association president Chris Xanthis said the decision to waive the fees meant Christmas had come early. “We’re happy and relieved that Maribyrnong council has finally listened to the legitimate concerns of its constituents and we applaud its decision to suspend operations, especially at our busiest time of year,” he said. “It’s also a win for the residents of Yarraville and hopefully a return to the vibrant village atmosphere that we all love so much.”
‘‘
We’re happy and relieved that council has finally - Chris Xanthis listened
’’
The Yarraville Village Says No To Paid Parking group released a statement in support of the decision. “We look forward to supporting their further consideration of a sensible and appropriate, long-term parking solution for Yarraville,” the group said. “We hope this gesture will, in some
way, mitigate some of the pain that has been so readily felt by small businesses in Yarraville.” Trader Trevor Junge said attention would now focus on removing paid parking entirely. “We have provided council with plenty of information and will continue providing it in the hope that they see reason,” he said. A University of Melbourne ‘Yarraville Village paid parking study’ remains under way, with 10,300 randomly selected households from Footscray to Williamstown having been invited to take part.
Stalls, gourmet foods and a well-stocked bar will all be on hand for shoppers at next week’s twilight Maribyrnong Makers Market. Seddon’s Adrian Kennedy, of Kennedy Smith Candles, will be just one of dozens of stallholders offering his wares for Christmas. “The Makers Market really is a market where stallholders put their heart and soul into their products,” he said. “People from the local area really enjoy it.” The market will be open from 4.30-8.30pm, Thursday, December 17, at the Seddon Uniting Church, corner of Gamon and Mackay streets.

Rocker finds fame again Some of Laurie Bell’s closest friends are unaware he is rock ’n’ roll royalty. These days, he is better known as an active member of the Brooklyn Residents Action Group, fighting the scourge of pollution in his home suburb. But the 78-year-old former lead guitarist with The Thunderbirds has just been inducted into The Age Music Victoria Awards Hall of Fame, joining the likes of AC/DC, John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and The Seekers among this year’s inductees. “It’s a good achievement for the band and a tribute, I think, to the guys, musicians, who were in the band at the time and really put the band on the map,” Mr Bell said. He joined The Thunderbirds in 1956 after answering an advertisement placed by band founder Harold Frith, who was living in his mother’s bungalow in Essendon. The band became a bastion of Melbourne’s early 1960s rock scene and their instrumental Wild Weekend is one of the most successful Australian singles of all time. “When rock ’n’ roll started, the Victorian music scene was right into it straight away,” Mr Bell said. “Even though they won’t admit it, Sydney were behind us.” The Thunderbirds went on to have a successful career as an instrumental band, backing the likes of the Bee Gees, Roy Orbison and Johnny O’Keefe. When told his friends were excited to learn they had a rock star in their midst, Mr Bell modestly shrugged off the label. “I’ve never looked on myself as a rock star and I don’t think any of the others have either, because we haven’t just been rock ’n’ roll musicians,” he said.

Book club hits a milestone The Altona-based Italian Book Club has celebrated its 10th anniversary and a decade of growth far beyond reading. Founded by Seaholme’s Mirella Giles, the club has expanded beyond reading and discussing poetry and books. “Our motto is ‘Usa la mente o la perdi’ use your mind or lose it,” she said. “We tease and challenge the mind and bring in guest speakers who entertain while delivering useful information.” She said the club had held computer classes in Italian since 2012 and turned a group of grandmothers from 60-80 years into computer and internet gurus. Performers at the club’s anniversary event included book editor Edward Caruso, whose 2010 poetry book, Di Alture ed altre Utopie, is based on his journey to Chile and Peru. The club will reconvene at Altona North library at 10.30am on February 3 and newcomers are welcome. For more information, email italianbookclub@hotmail.com or phone 9315 0698 or 0431 112 440.

Jean Cutting (on the right, in wheelchair) with her family. (Damjan Janevski)
A lifetime in the west Altona North’s Jean Cutting died surrounded by family members on November 28 – just hours after her 100th birthday. Ms Cutting was born in Byron Bay, where her father was a lighthouse keeper. She moved to Williamstown after her father was stationed at Point Cook RAAF base. Ms Cutting (nee Oliver) attended St Mary’s Primary School in Williamstown before becoming a week-day border at Fitzroy’s Academy of Mary Immaculate until aged 18. She married Allison “Bud” Cutting and moved to Yarravillle before moving to Laverton to be closer to family in 1983. She was an active member of St Luke’s Anglican Church in Yarraville and St Clement’s Anglican parish of Altona and Laverton.
Through Bud’s affiliation with Footscray Football Club, Ms Cutting became a passionate Footscray/Western Bulldogs supporter and regularly attended games into her mid-80s. This year was her 75th year of membership. She lived through two world wars, the invention of the atom bomb, the Great Depression and first man landing on the moon. Ms Cutting witnessed the invention of computers, commercial air travel, vaccinations, organ transplants and television. She lived through four British monarchs and 23 Australian prime ministers. Ms Cutting is survived by daughter Elizabeth, grand-daughters Donna and Brooke and great grand-children Noah, Bowen, Phoenix and Maya.

MY PLACE Working with her partner to turn their historic home into a gallery, poet and artist Initially NO tells Benjamin Millar she has found her spirit, spark and soul-mate in Seddon.
What’s your connection to Seddon/ Maribyrnong and how did you come to live in the area? I have been convening West Word Poetry sessions at the Dancing Dog Café for some years (every second and fourth Sunday of the month from 2pm), only two blocks away from our gallery where we now also live. Incredibly, four years ago I met my partner, Glenn Floyd, at another poetry venue and we immediately fell deeply in love. He’s my soul-mate. What do you love most about living in the area? Seddon is an exquisite little village – it’s the artistic centre of the universe where highly creative people from all works of life congregate to build and grow and commune with each other in an exciting, artistic, inspiring atmosphere. What’s your fondest memory of living in the area? Meeting Glenn! He’s adorable! And highly creative. We are both deeply committed social activists. We both write, play music, paint, and produce poetry. I play the trumpet and guitar, and Glenn built his own beautiful acoustic
guitar in Tuscany, Italy. He inspired me to write this poem: In unison or shadows Of coloured lights we say This to each other And yes guess what next? Another way of saying I love you, we invent. So many ways together We say those words In metaphors, allusions, similes, And euphemisms, we say I am in love, So totally into that stream So cool and waving With a gentle breeze And flow from the mountain. I am in that waterfall Feeling it cascade around; You are the water Soaking me in your essence. How does living in the area come through in your creative work? It’s amazing – I have been living here for four years and I feel like it’s been 40. I have never been so prolific in creating. What’s your favourite local café, eatery or watering hole? We just adore the Seddon Village café strip, in particular Alfa Café at 97 Victoria Street, the newest. We’re in there all the time – it’s such a creative space.
(Joe Mastroianni)
What are your creative practices and where do you draw inspiration? I just get a powerful inner ethereal urge to aesthetically create – it’s an emerging form from my poetic imagination that bubbles up and just speaks to me. It’s very spontaneous! The feelings are so strong, I founded this as the Melbourne Sagacious-Art Movement.
The Longbourn Gallery, 84 Albert Street, Seddon, is open 8am-6pm daily.

Exhibition mirrors life Internationally-acclaimed photographer Belinda Mason explores sexuality and disability in her exhibition at Newport. The Outing Disability installation is part of an exhibition developed by Family Planning NSW, and it is the first time the portraits have travelled to Victoria. Ms Mason said her work focused on creating platforms for people who experienced multiple discriminations. “Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people with disability are often excluded from both disability and LGBTIQ communities,” she said. “The power of their stories, and their portraits, becoming a part of our visual landscape is integral in ensuring misconceptions and

stereotypes are shattered. The portraits are all printed on larger than life mirror panels, which are not easy to see. “In fact, it takes a bit of time to align yourself with the image, so that you can see it and, when you do, what you also see is a reflection of yourself. “Art often imitates life and, in doing so, we need to take time to think and challenge our own perceptions, rather than challenge someone else’s lived experience.” The exhibition is running until January 15 at The Substation, 1 Market Street, Newport. Gallery hours are 11am-5pm Tuesday to Saturday.

A snap survey taken this week by The Advertiser indicated that very few shopkeepers in Footscray anticipate any major problems for the initial changeover to the new dollars and cents on C-Day, February 14. But the survey did show that most Footscray businessmen are apparently waiting to the “last minute” before making any serious move in the decimal currency direction.
The biggest clean-up in Footscray’s history began yesterday as the three-week long garbage strike was resolved. In returning to work, strikers had to agree to a council policy, which will see staff numbers reduced by about 21 in the next 10 months. About 50 men and trucks headed into the piles of rubbish that have threatened to turn Footscray into a garbage dump on recent days.
A Victoria Police blueprint has recommended that the Newport police station should be closed within 12 months, or at best reduced to a part-time sub station. A spokesman for Police and Emergency Services Minister Race Mathews said, if the blueprint is adopted, the station in North Road will only be open during “business hours” 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
BP Australia will close its Altona North and Newport terminals early next year, and shed up to 20 jobs in the process. The company’s distribution operations will be relocated to share Mobil’s Yarraville plant. Workers were told of the decision during a half-hour meeting last Wednesday afternoon, and have been offered voluntary redundancy packages.

TRAVEL STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
The timeless, tasty allure of Hoi An One of Vietnam’s most popular destinations, Hoi An has a relaxed charm that makes you want to stay, writes David Bonnici You’ll seldom hear a bad word said about Hoi An, which is often the highlight of Vietnam holidays be they of backpackers, families or older tourists. This charming, UNESCO world heritage city has buildings dating back to the 15th century and provides a glimpse to a past when traders from China and around South-East Asia ventured up the Thu Bon River to the small port. Narrow streets in the old town lead to a riverfront with old yellow-washed buildings on either side connected by a footbridge. During summer, the relative cool of the evening brings everyone out and the place is abuzz with tourists and hawkers. The sight of candles floating down the river provides a calming influence. Candlelight is a big part of the monthly full-moon celebrations – on the 14th day of the lunar months, the town’s lights are dimmed and the river is aglow. During the rest of the month, old ladies sell candles with promises of good luck and love being part of their sales pitches. Once you oblige, they place them on the water using long sticks. Colourful paper and bamboo lanterns festooned around town and hanging in front of shops add to the spectacle. A night market mostly sells souvenirs. Haggling is encouraged. I got into a particularly terse price war with a fierce young woman all of 11 years old who kept asking “oh my god man, what the hell are you on about?” whenever I gave her a price. As is the Hoi An way it was all good natured but with a good deal of cheek. The laid-back attitude of Hoi An and its people lulls you into a relaxed groove of

sun-soaked, sleepy days and indulgent evenings that will have you wishing you had booked a longer stay. It’s not a party town in the seedy sense and its nightlife is mostly centred around food.
22 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 9, 2015
Food is key
Good restaurants are plentiful and the more popular ones live up to the hype. Morning Glory restaurant in the old town, for instance. The double-storey restaurant is always flat
out yet the quality of the food doesn’t seem to suffer. It’s run by local foodie royalty Trinh Diem Vy, known as Ms Vy, who is famous around the country for her international take on Vietnamese cuisine.
STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
She also runs the Mermaid and Cargo Club restaurants and The Market Restaurant & Cooking School. At Morning Glory, I had squid stuffed with minced pork and easily won dinner that night. Cooked in a quintessential chilli and lemongrass marinate, this is up there with the tastiest dishes I have ever had – think about it: Squid – stuffed with pork! Another nice spot was The Chef, on a rooftop above an incredibly charming old bookshop. Overlooking the ancient terracotta roofline of the old city, it is particularly fetching at sunset. Guests are welcome just for a drink. It has a great wine list and plenty of by-the-glass options – a rarity in Vietnam. Food is also big business in Hoi An by way of cooking classes, which you can do for a few hours or even over a few days. The Hoi An Beach resort where we stayed offered a cooking class for its guests. For US$35, we travelled to the wonderful Hoi An market with the hotel’s head chef, who showed us around as he bought produce. After that, we took a river boat back to the resort before learning how to prepare dishes including fresh prawn spring rolls, yellow chicken curry and the delightful-looking turmeric fish wrapped in banana leaf. Then we ate it all.
Tailor made
Hoi An’s other big industry is clothing. Tailor shopfronts are everywhere. If you walk through the quiet laneways past the small homes, you’ll see people at work on sewing machines making everything from three-piece suits and ball gowns to shoes and leather jackets. Choosing a tailor is tricky – there’s so many. Word of mouth is good, and you can generally get good tips from fellow hotel guests backed up by Tripadvisor. Make sure you get an address – there are often different businesses with almost identical names. Get fitted out as soon as you can during your stay. The tailors can generally make clothes
TRAVEL
within 24 hours but it’s good to leave time for alterations. We went to Tuong Clothes Shop (www. tuongtailor.com) on a recommendation – one I’d happily pass on. I got a leather jacket made there just by showing them a few pictures on my phone and I can’t fault the quality.
A place to stay
Accommodation options abound in Hoi An – from backpacker hostels and three-star hotels costing about $30 a night to five-star luxury resorts nudging four figures. You can stay in town or on the coast a couple of kilometres away. The Hoi An Beach Resort (www. hoianbeachresort.com.vn) was great value for under $200 a night. Rooms are in villas that have two upstairs and two downstairs rooms – very nice for the price. I suggest a river view room as the beach views overlook the road between the resort and shore. This friendly resort has a couple of pools, a nice open-air restaurant and bar overlooking the river. The only downside is it’s a bit out of town, though the hotel has shuttle buses or you can catch a cab for around $5. Hoi An Beach resort has it’s own beach across the road with plenty of deck chairs and a bar. The beach itself was washed away during a storm surge last year so they had to place sand bags between the grass area and the water. Fortunately, you don’t really notice them as they blend with the sand that’s slowly returning to reclaim the shore. To avoid such weather, it’s best to visit in summer, between late May and June, when it’s hot, dry and calm.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir tackles a shake in a glass and finds a meal for two. Can a shake be a meal? A case for the affirmative can certainly be made with the Green Tea Mega Shake, served with pride at Woven. It’s not on the menu at this Yarraville establishment, so you need to ask. One of these babies (pictured) costs $15 … and the ingredients? • Hello Gello vanilla ice cream • Nutella • Green tea KitKat • Kenko matcha tea • A doughnut • Milk • Double matcha cream • House matcha soil • Matcha shortbread biscuit The verdict? Hmmm, not bad. I like that it’s not cloyingly sweet. The green tea thing is definitely interesting. Definitely an experience worth pursuing by westside foodies … well, at least once. Woven is far from being a one-shake pony, though. Located on what was once Yarraville’s main drag – and away from the bustle of the village commercial precinct – Woven has carved out a handy niche for itself through serving great coffee and introducing imaginative ways with turning food into dishes, including top-notch burgers and sandwiches. We were tipped to this mega project by Consider The Sauce reader and friend Bazoo. His supposed partner in crime failed to make

it, so he “did” the whole thing himself, bringing on a bout of self-flagellating self-loathing that almost tipped him over the edge. The Green Tea Mega Shake? It’s a sharing thing.

BUTTERING UP
TV chef Nigella Lawson once described the late Elvis Presley as a genius for combining cooked bananas and peanut butter in his favourite sandwich. Who’d have thought mushy banana and peanut butter squished together between slices of fried white bread could taste so glorious? Well, if you think mixing peanut butter with banana is decadent … try mixing it with maple syrup. Just place half a cup of smooth peanut butter and half a cup of pure maple syrup in a small saucepan and stir for five minutes over a low heat, or until smooth. Don’t worry if the mixture splits, just keep stirring until it comes back together. Set aside to cool and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
SHANE DELIA, HEAD CHEF AND OWNER OF MAHA, HOST OF SHANE DELIA’S SPICE JOURNEY ON SBS TV.
What you’ll end up with is a wickedly delicious spread to slather on toast, muffins or crumpets. Or you can serve it warm, as gooey sauce, over ice cream or pancakes. This fabulously simple recipe from Australian Good Taste magazine would also be a great, kid-friendly alternative to the traditional brandy butter we see trotted out over the festive season.
FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? SD: Average at best.
APPLE ROSES
FB: What is your signature dish? SD: I don’t believe in signature dishes; to just hang your hat up on one dish is a bit lazy. But the one dish people seem to love at Maha is our 12-hour roasted lamb shoulder.
Making ‘apple roses’ has been one of the big online foodie crazes this year. There are several recipes to try for this very pretty dessert, but it’s basically a matter of spreading some jam on a thin strip of store-bought puff pastry, then placing very thin slices of apple along the dough, carefully rolling it up and baking in muffin pans. I’ve included a photo here of an apple rose made by a friend, and they were pretty chuffed with the result. Have you had a go at making apple roses? I’d love to see your photos.
FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? SD: I’m really simple; I think it would be a really good bowl of Pho. FB: What is your favorite TV food show, and who is your favorite TV food person? SD: Shane Delia’s Spice Journey Journey. Shane Delia
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 favorite food? SD: Favorite food to eat is anything Asian. I love all the fresh spice and use of aromatics. Favourite food to cook really depends on the season and how I am feeling, but generally it is anything cooked at home with my daughter, Jayda.
Well, that’s it from me for another year. Thanks so much to everyone who’s contributed to Food Bytes in 2015, and I hope you all have a safe, happy Christmas, filled with fabulous food.
FB: What is your favorite drink? SD: Negron. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? SD: Reuven Rivlin (Israeli president), Barack Obama (US president), Vladimir Putin (Russian president), Ali Khamenei (supreme leader of Iran) and Bashar al-Assad (Syrian president). It would be good to sit down with these ‘gentlemen’ and sort out their differences once and for all. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? SD: Clean as you go.
“You could probably get through life without knowing how to roast a chicken, but the question is, would you want to?” Nigella Lawson.

Stepped cornices and skirts, corbelled arches and rosettes, along with floorboards, white wall paint and elegantly dressed windows make a classy picture. The bedrooms are upstairs, two sharing a bathroom while the main has a large, skylit walk-in wardrobe and en suite. A lounge-dining room at front has built-in cabinetry, a feature also of the family-meals zone, which has access to a brick-paved, covered courtyard. A retreat room is accessed from the outdoor area. The kitchen is beautifully renovated, with deep stone benches, soft-closing drawers and cupboards, dishwasher, induction cooktop and pyrolytic oven. Evaporative cooling, slab heating and a remote-controlled garage are keynotes.
This house close to Skeleton Creek wetlands and tracks is light and bright and has all the elements for a relaxed lifestyle. Of the three bedrooms, two have double built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and good-sized en suite. A large, carpeted lounge room off the entry hall provides a space for an adult retreat, while the tiled family-meals area at the back has access to a covered pergola. A wood-fired pizza oven is under shelter and serves as an entertainment focal point. The large kitchen has a stack of white cabinetry, including many drawers, a pantry, wide fridge recess and stainless-steel wall oven and gas cooktop. Gardens are landscaped at the front and, out back, it’s easy-care pebbles. Within easy reach of the train station and freeway, the property also has a double garage with rear roller door.

Here’s a house that is a celebration of contemporary living, with no expense spared and a feeling that little was compromised in construction. High-quality appointments are abundant and modern conveniences are high-tech. The ground floor is living central and packed with ritzy comfort. The outdoor area is just as well appointed, creating a seamless flow from one luxurious space to the next. Polished floorboards, soundproof doors and double-glazed windows add to the allure and white walls enhance the overall ambience.
The four bedrooms are on the ground floor. The main, at the front, has a walk-in wardrobe and a fully tiled en suite with twin vanity basins and an extra large shower. The other three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and are serviced by the fully tiled main bathroom (with spa). There’s also a dual study nook down here that adjoins a living space, where glass sliders merge with a paved, undercover outdoor area with a timber-lined ceiling. An external steel spiral staircase provides access to the upper outdoor level. The stairs from the front entry hall feature a
glass balustrade, while upstairs is a display of elegance. A sunken lounge room is a light, bright space thanks to a bank of windows and balcony access. The 2-pac kitchen is a streamlined white and latte-coloured space full of Miele appliances. Choose between the induction gas cooktop, and appliances that are designed to warm, zing and bake on the wall: a built-in microwave, coffee machine, fridge and a dishwasher. Caesarstone benchtops and soft-close cupboards and drawers are part of the slick fit-out. The gas fireplace in the adjoining meals

area ensures cosiness on cooler nights while double doors to a small balcony offer the prospect of summer breezes.

A versatile additional studio above the double garage has its own bathroom and kitchenette. With hydronic heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, built-in surround sound and an alarm system, this house presents as a venue for a hassle-free and stylish lifestyle. Eleanor Tabone

watchOS2: good look but maddening By Peter Wells, The Age With the launch of watchOS 2, I thought it time to take another look at the Apple Watch, to see whether the new software has transformed it into a must-have gadget. I’m not sure it has. While I’ve enjoyed wearing the Watch these past few weeks, the enjoyment is based more on gadget lust than any utility the Apple Watch provides. What I’ve realised is that no native app will improve my experience with the Watch, because using any watch app is a rather maddening experience. Before discussing watchOS 2, I want to make one thing clear: I love the idea of the Apple Watch. I think smartwatches in general have an amazing future. But I haven’t found one smartwatch I personally feel I need. Apple Watch does some things amazingly well. The simple circles of the built-in fitness app are genius; they’re strangely addictive and highly motivating. I personally like receiving notifications on my wrist. I whittled down notifications to just the ones I care about months ago, so only important things hit my wrist. This is a must for anyone about to buy a smartwatch. The Apple Watch notifications are great – those tiny taps of the taptic engine that alert but don’t alarm. And for me, the Apple Watch is still the best-looking smartwatch on the market. The screen is gorgeous and, unlike some, it never feels too bulky. Good, so are we all friends? We’re all calm? Great, now let me complain a little. watchOS 2 brings many little improvements to the Apple Watch, but the feature most anticipated was native watch applications. Native applications promised to launch and respond faster than the pseudo-apps of
Apple Watch is arguably the best-looking smartwatch on the market. (Supplied)
watchOS 1, where all the processing was taking place on the iPhone, with data streamed across to the watch. Swarm was one of the first apps to get a native upgrade. And the app is faster but still not a great user experience. Launch time from start to a usable app is down to about eight seconds – much better than the 20 seconds it used to take. But eight seconds is still an eternity when you have your wrist out in front of you, waiting for the wheels to stop turning, hoping the screen won’t fall asleep. And you look ridiculous.
What I’ve realised is that no native app will improve my experience with the Watch, because using any Watch app is a rather maddening experience. It starts with the placement of apps, on a layer beneath the watch face, accessed via the digital crown. To get to the apps, you push the digital crown. But then you need to move back to the tiny touch screen and search out the app you want in a honeycomb of tiny icons. David Pogue of Yahoo Tech shares my frustration. “After months of using the Apple

Watch, I can usually find what I want to find, but the logic of the layout still makes no sense,� he said. David has a better memory than me. I can never remember where an app lives in the honeycomb. To make navigating a little easier, I’ve found myself deleting apps and glances, so there’s less to look at and less to remember. Overall, watchOS 2 hasn’t made the Apple Watch any more desirable for me. I’ve loved every second of wearing the Apple Watch, but I don’t think I’ll miss it for a minute when I return the loan unit to Apple.

SPORT Seagulls fly flag for the west By Liam Twomey The 2015 season has been a glorious fairytale for the Williamstown Football Club. Two years after ending their alignment with the Western Bulldogs and going it alone, the Seagulls claimed flags in the Victorian Football League and development competition, completing a rare double act. What made the title wins even more special is the extraordinary number of western suburbs talent involved. Six former Western Jets lined up in the VFL grand final while a further nine former Jets played in the Seagulls’ development league flag win. Now a new batch of former Jets are poised to create their own history in the country’s premier state league competition. Following brilliant top-age years, Lachlan Knight, Liam Carter, Mitch Norton and Brayden Monk have been snapped up by Williamstown as the club plans for its 2016 premiership defence. Jets region manager Shane Sexton said the signings were reward for years of hard work by the recruits. “In terms of the VFL, we are talking about elite level sport here,” he said. “This is the major senior domestic competition in the country. It is no mean feat to reach that level.” The eagerness of Williamstown to look towards home-grown talent further highlights the partnership between the Seagulls and the Jets as being one of the most successful across the TAC Cup and VFL competitions. The clubs share a base in Williamstown and play their home games at Burbank Oval. For players, the partnership exposes them to top-line football at soon as they are ready. Numerous Jets have jumped at the opportunity to play for Williamstown throughout their top-age TAC Cup season, giving them a taste of what it takes to make it at the next level. Carter and Monk both played in the Seagulls’ development league premiership while Norton made his VFL senior debut. They, and Knight, may not be the only members from last year’s Jets squad that find a home in Williamstown. Several Jets are going through pre-season trials at the Seagulls in the hope of landing a spot on the club’s 2016 list. “At the end of the season we sat down with our players in great detail and evaluated what they have done this year and what is going to be in their best interest going forward,” Sexton said. “There are certainly other boys that are looking to get themselves onto a VFL list. “Williamstown will have a fairly significant number of spots on their list and these boys will be putting their hands up to fill those.” It was a quiet draft period for the Western Jets, with one player selected across the national and rookie drafts. Luke Goetz, 18, was taken by the Western Bulldogs with pick 29 in the rookie draft. Goetz, a promising ruckman out of Altona, rocketed into draft calculations late thanks to a strong finish to the season. This year’s draft period was further proof AFL clubs are no longer looking at only under-age competitions to find their new superstars. Williamstown knows how to keep players on the radar of AFL clubs better than any other, with Seagulls pair Andrew Gallucci and Adam Marcon selected in the rookie draft. Gallucci was picked up by Carlton while Marcon is the second Williamstown player in the past two years to be rookie-listed by Richmond. He joins former Seagull Kane Lambert at the Tigers. Four VFL players were selected at the national draft.
Defender Liam Carter will join Knight at the Seagulls. (Shawn Smits)
Williamstown football manager Chris Dixon casts his eye over Williamstown’s newest recruits: Lachlan Knight Midfielder Junior club: Yarraville/Seddon It’s great to get the Jets best and fairest winner on board with us in 2016. Lachie played some development football with us this year and showed his talent as a dynamic midfielder. Liam Carter Defender Junior club: Melton We really rate Liam as a footballer and see him as a quality key defender at VFL level. His performances this year in the development finals series were incredible, competing against opposition forwards who had played some VFL football. Western Jets best and fairest winner Lachlan Knight will be playing for Williamstown next season. (Damjan Janevski)
Sandringham’s Mitch Brown and Coburg defender Michael Hartley joined Essendon. Box Hill Hawk defender Sam Collins is on his way to Fremantle while Collingwood selected Rupert Wills from its own VFL team. “There is a clear trend now that AFL clubs are going to watch these mature-age kids and track their progress through the VFL,” Sexton said. “It is a really good pathway for the kids that want to reach that level.” The Jets are turning their attention towards climbing back up the ladder next season after finishing 14th this year. Having blooded a number of bottom-age players throughout the year, the Jets will no longer be considered one of the TAC Cup’s youngest sides.
Sexton said the initial signs for next year’s squad were encouraging and that he was expecting the Jets to feature in finals and at the national draft. “We are excited about what is coming up in 2016,” Sexton said. “We think we will have a really solid squad together. “The top-age group we have got at the moment, there is quite a bit of talent involved in it and we are pretty excited about it. “We will be hoping to replicate something like we did in 2014 – we had six kids drafted and a heap of kids that have gone on to play successful VFL football.” The Jets have begun their summer training program and will select their squad in the new year.
Mitch Norton Midfielder/forward Junior club: Altona Mitch is a highly skilled footballer capable of playing on-ball, on a wing or up forward. He won’t remember much of his senior debut with us this year as he was knocked out with concussion in a really courageous act. We’re delighted he is in our program. Brayden Monk Midfielder Junior club: Werribee Districts Monky had a great impact this year, playing two senior games and playing in the development premiership. He is extremely sharp around goals and extremely courageous for someone his size.

Rockets have a blast By Lance Jenkinson Rosamond has moved up from the bottom of the Bowls Victoria division 2 ladder thanks to a 14-shot thrashing of Hoppers Crossing at Rosamond Road on Saturday. The Rockets consigned the visitors to the cellar after dominating the clash of the battling sides in a 83-69 victory, the hosts claiming three of the four rinks on the day. Rockets skip Michael Stelluto said his side was “starting to feel the mojo” two wins from the last two outings on home soil. The importance of victories at home is not lost on the Rockets. Their previous win in friendly confines was over top side Richmond Union. If they want to avoid relegation, they must keep the win streak alive at home and steal some victories on the road. “You need to win all of your home matches,” Stelluto said. “That’s the basics – you’ve got to start with that. “You get an advantage by knowing your conditions – things like the wind and your green type – so you’ve got to make the most of it.” The Rocket rinks skippered by Stelluto and Alex McMurdo had comfortable wins. The most exciting finish was that of Rob Ward’s rink, which fought back from seven shots down with five ends to go to pick up two bonus points. “Their focus was basically to make sure we won the overall – but as it panned out they picked up a four on the last end to win it by one,” Stelluto said. “That was a really big bonus for us. “We been in a position previously where we’ve missed out on finals by one point so every point counts.”

Williamstown’s post-premiership recruiting spree shows no signs of abating. The Seagulls have added two more former AFL players, utility Arryn Siposs (formerly St Kilda) and defender Ariel Steinberg (Essendon), on two-year deals after recently acquiring Ayce Cordy (Western Bulldogs) and Matt Dea (Richmond). Meanwhile, Williamstown has locked in practice matches against Casey Scorpions (March 12, Casey Fields), Frankston (March 19, Frankston Oval) and Sandringham (April 2, Burbank Oval).
Cricket
Opener Mosun Hussain scored 114 as Williamstown posted 228 against Melton in Sub-District cricket at McPherson Park on Saturday. Elsewhere, Yarraville is 2-102 in reply to Sunshine’s dismal 129 and Altona was all out for 100 against Caulfield, which secured first-innings points three down.

We’re looking forward to giving them a go.” In premier division, Yarraville-Footscray continued on its merry way with a 78-76 win over MCC Kew Sports to retain fourth spot. Altona snapped its four-game losing streak with a 92-66 pummelling of Mitcham.

Bombers blitz Bulldogs, Carlton cleans up A week is a long time in cricket, as Footscray Edgewater can attest. The Bulldogs lost both of their Twenty20 games at the weekend to have wildly contrasting emotions from the previous weekend, when they won both their matches. The Dogs were beaten by eight wickets on home turf by rivals Essendon on Saturday. Bulldogs’ captain Dean Russ won the toss and batted, but his side could only manage 110 in 19.5 overs. Guy Walker (26) and Michael Hill (25) were shining lights of the Bulldogs’ middle order, while four others made promising starts before losing their wickets in the teens. But Matthew Doric was a wrecking ball for Essendon, taking 4-20. The Bombers coasted to victory at two down with four overs to spare.
On Sunday, Footscray Edgewater backed up for a date with Carlton at Princes Park. But the result was no better. Chasing Carlton’s 8-142, the Bulldogs fell short by nine runs. This was despite English import Dan Hodgson making 52, at better than a run a ball. Hamish Winter-Irving was superb with the ball for the Bulldogs earlier in the day, with 4-20 off four overs. Jeremy Hart picked up 2-14, and leads the competition wicket-takers with 31, at an average of 12.42. The Bulldogs have a two-day clash with Northcote at the Bill Lawry Oval before the Christmas break. Lance Jenkinson
Jeremy Hart was one of Matthew Doric’s four victims during Saturday’s Twenty20. (Luke Hemer)
SPORT
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ The power of the people and the spirit of the west was again at the fore for the recent benefit day for Lucas McGhie. The former West Footscray premiership player has a battle on his hands with stage four lymphoma. The support of his family and friends is a given, but the willingness of the people of the west to rally behind this cause was outstanding and almost $60,000 was raised in one afternoon. The Spotswood rooms were packed and Lucas was clearly overwhelmed. Sports clubs and individuals from all over the west donated goods to be raffled and barrels came from everywhere. This is what local sports clubs are about or should be . . . no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy qualities like passion, care and commitment. Well done to Jeremy Bond, Callum Urch, Anders Welsh and everyone involved in a day you should all be proud of. And good luck to Lucas and his family. ■ Western Bulldogs’ past players function last Friday was a success, with players and officials from all eras in attendance. The reality of a VFL/ AFL club is that most players don’t leave when they want to; they go when they’re told, which can mean a bit of bad blood and ill feeling. This normally means a stand-off for a few years before both parties feel the love again. That’s why it was so good to see Daniel Cross at the function. Crossy was universally liked during his time at the club and no one gave more than him on and off the track before he was delisted at the end of 2013. He went to Melbourne and gave them two good years before retiring at the end of the season just gone. To stand on stage and see Crossy, Bob Murphy (future past player) Ben Harrison, Trent Bartlett, Rohan Smith, Tom Williams, Adam Contessa, Matthew Croft, Simon Beasley, Ian Bryant, Ross Abbey and dozens of other former players and officials was fantastic.
Dockers close in on lead By Lance Jenkinson John Taylor put on a brave face to lead Seddon to a 75-run win over Altona North in the VTCA north west division at Hanmer Reserve on Saturday. Taylor went into bat with a back injury, and still produced a match-winning 89 for the Dockers. The former Fitzroy-Doncaster player showed great fortitude to put his discomfort to one side and focus on the task at hand. “He’s an ex-district cricketer, and to play at a high level as he has, he’s got the mental capacity to get over it,” Dockers’ secretary Rolf Tamburro told Star Weekly. “He was a bit restricted playing square shots because of the back, but he played some nice straight drives. It was a fantastic innings.” Seddon made a shaky start to its chase of North’s 158 by losing 2-24. But Taylor combined with Dellon Udugamasooriya (42)
for a 103-run third wicket partnership to leave no doubt where the points would be heading. Late runs from Hayden Dryiski (19) and Tom Kriebardis (26) put a bit of icing on the Dockers’ cake. It capped a fine outing for Kriebardis, who also took 3-22 off 15.3 overs with his left arm off spin. Kriebardis is showing no signs of slowing down, at 52 years of age. “Tommy’s been playing ones for us since he was 17,” Tamburro said. “He’s more of a bowler now, but earlier on, he was a gun bat. “He’s still a very good bowler, very economical, and the figures showed.” Seddon moved up to fifth on the ladder – just one point outside the top four. The Dockers face sixth-placed West Coburg back at Hanmer Reserve in the last game before the break, while Altona North will host second-last Laverton, with the loser to
be anchored on the bottom of the ladder at Christmas. Spotswood heaped more pain on Laverton with an outright victory at McLean Reserve. Ross Horkings made 88 and Ashley Robertson took four second innings wickets for the Woodsmen. In senior division, Yarraville Club cruised to an 88-run first innings win over Bonbeach Tangy at the Bonbeach Sports Oval. The Clubbers jumped up to fourth, ahead of a trip to Doutta Stars. In west A1, Altona Roosters kept their winning streak alive with a nail-biting first innings win over Kingsville Baptists at Skinner Reserve. The Roosters are 19 points clear on top of the ladder, and a clear favourite for the minor premiership. In west B1, Joshua Eason-Jones scored an even 100, as West Newport got the points over Point Cook at Loft Reserve.
■ Manor Lakes Football Club is hosting a Carols by Candlelight night at Howqua Reserve from 6.30pm on Sunday, December 20. The carols will be sung by local school choirs.
