Fun and frivolity were the order of the day as Seddon Festival spilled into the streets on Saturday. Entertainers such as Rebecca Barnard, Stephen Cummings, The Mercurials and Ash Archer kept toes tapping, while a dog fashion show was a highlight for many. Casa Di Tutti won the Great Waiters Race, a hotly contested event fast becoming a festival favourite. Ben Millar

“We worked on a couple of shop fronts, including Tandoori Flames and Dosa Corner, and the Chinese building on the corner of Clarke Street,” she said. “The owner of Tandoori Flames was most grateful for our help in removing it.” Aangan set up a “unite against racism” wall in the restaurant after the attack, attracting dozens of messages of support. Maribyrnong mayor Cameron McDonald slammed those responsible for the graffiti, saying race-based attacks targeting multicultural areas was a serious concern. “People should go straight to Crimestoppers; it’s a race crime,” he said. “But it’s a really good sign that the community cares about these things.” Victoria Police spokeswoman Belinda Batty said police were aware of the graffiti and had begun investigating. “Victoria Police takes all crime seriously, including that which is motivated by prejudice, racism or discrimination,” she said. “We ask anyone who witnesses, or is subject to, racism, discrimination or victimisation on the basis of religion, culture or ethnicity, to inform Victoria Police.”

West Footscray business owners have praised residents who came together to quickly wipe out a racist weekend graffiti attack on shopfronts and properties. Swastikas and white supremacist slogans were sprayed onto a number of stores and restaurants on Barkly Street in the early hours of Saturday. Fences on residential Clarke Street were also daubed. After calls by residents to police and Maribyrnong council’s graffiti hotline failed to spur action, residents took matters into their own hands and descended on the shopping strip to scrub out the swastikas and slogans such as ‘‘white power’’ and ‘‘immigrant scum’’. Businesses attacked in the graffiti blitz included Thai Angels and Indian restaurants Aangan, Dosa Corner and Tandoori Flames. Resident Brett Long, who spearheaded the clean-up response, said he wanted to show that locals overwhelmingly supported the businesses and the area’s multicultural identity. “On one hand you could leave it there and they could feel unwelcome or you could show the exact counter to the hatred and clean it off,” he said. “A bunch of families were down there cleaning all the shops. It’s symbolic, showing these people we won’t stand for this kind of thing. “We’re no heroes; we’re just living out our values.” Amy Newman and her family were quickly on site to help with the clean-up. She said people were left disgusted by the attack and quickly banded together to help.

Friends mourn former mayor By Goya Dmytryshchak Community stalwart and former Hobsons Bay mayor Dick Murdoch has died after a long battle with cancer. Mr Murdoch, 78, was elected to the former city of Altona in 1992. He was mayor of Hobsons Bay in 1999-2000 and served on the council until his retirement in 2004. Mr Murdoch, born and raised in Williamstown, taught at schools across the west for 39 years, going on to become principal of the former Altona West and Laverton primary schools.

A life member of the Probus and Lions clubs of Altona, his extensive community work was recognised with a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2006. Mr Murdoch was president of Altona Lions Club from 1986-87 and received one of the club’s highest honors, the Melvin Jones Fellowship. Current president Maurie Tanian said Mr Murdoch would be greatly missed following his death on Thursday. “The great loves of Dick’s life were his family, his community, his Lions club and the Swans football team,” he said. “He served our club with great distinction for 37 years. He was just

A man has pleaded guilty to murdering an Altona North Good Samaritan. Jonathon Sporton was due to stand trial in the Supreme Court on charges of murdering father of two Roger Bertocci, but pleaded guilty to the charge on Tuesday. Defence barrister Richard Edney told Justice Christopher Beale that he had visited Sporton in the Supreme Court cells on Tuesday morning, and he had indicated he wanted to change his plea to guilty. Justice Beale remanded Sporton for a pre-sentence hearing on April 1. Psychiatrist Dr Leon Turnbull is expected to visit Sporton next Tuesday at Port Phillip Prison to prepare a report for the defence. Mr Bertocci, 46, was stabbed to death at a busy Altona North intersection on December 14, 2014, after he pulled over to help a pregnant woman on Blackshaws Road, just 200 metres from his home. Sporton then barricaded himself inside an Altona North house with his 24-year-old fiancee, the woman he had allegedly been attacking. He was arrested after a nine-hour siege.

He was a man of action,” Helen said. “It’s not easy. I cry every morning and every night. Even on the train. I really miss him.”

People will be passing plates, breaking bread and swapping stories later this month at a feast to celebrate Cultural Diversity Week. The free Harmony Feast is a chance to meet new people and try new foods from the many and varied cultures found in the Maribyrnong melting pot. In its sixth year, the March 20 event will feature a spread of dishes from around the world, including plenty of vegetarian and halal options. Resident Nayran Tabiei, who has cooked for the feast in previous years and is looking forward to this year’s event, says she will be making rezobazalia va labano khiar – one of Syria’s most popular meals. It’s made with rice, fried nuts, green beans and meat served with a mixture of yoghurt, cucumber, garlic and mint. “In Syrian culture, food plays an enormous role in bringing people together,” she said. “Cooking and serving foods is one of the best ways to show hospitality.” Maribyrnong mayor Cameron McDonald said breaking bread and sharing meals were a time-honoured tradition around the world. “Regardless of our culture, when we share food together, you can’t help but be struck by how much we all have in common,” he said. The Harmony Feast will be held from noon-3pm on Sunday, March 20, at Maidstone Community Centre, 21 Yardley Street, Maidstone. More Cultural Diversity Week details: www. maribyrnong.vic.gov.au

Allies seek WWI memorabilia By Goya Dmytryshchak

“It was an awful sight to see the destruction that they cause, even with one bomb. “We have several Williamstown boys with our company and all have received their Anzac parcels, for which we are all very grateful.” A letter by A.N. Bell to Mrs Musther also thanks her for a parcel, which he said “would come in very useful when I get over to the front. “If you see mother, tell her I am all right,” it ends. Brightlingsea’s Anzac centenary celebration, June 17-19, will commemorate the Australian contribution. “The Brightlingsea Museum would be honoured to hear of any descendants of ‘our’ Australians and copies of any photographs or memorabilia would be added to our WWI collection,” Ms Berry said. Visit Brightlingsea Museum on Facebook.

J.C. Morgate’s letter in the Williamstown Advertiser (Supplied) Advertiser.

1219910-HM10-16 10037379-01

A British museum is trying to trace the descendants of young Anzac sappers from Williamstown, who trained in Brightlingsea, Essex, during the Great War. The coastal town was the training base for as many as 10,000 Anzacs between 1916 and 1919. Brightlingsea is planning a three-day memorial weekend in June and hopes to add any WWI photographs and ephemera from Williamstown to its museum. Brightlingsea Museum volunteer Ann Berry said that on February 3, 1917, two letters from Australian sappers had been published in the Williamstown Advertiser Advertiser. “They were sent in October 1916 from Brightlingsea, Essex, England, where Sapper J.C. Morgate and A.N. Bell were training during the First World War,” she said. “They were sending thanks to a Mrs E. Musther and the Williamstown Anzac Club for parcels received. “I’m also looking for anyone else whose ancestor was one of the ‘several Williamstown boys’ based here, and whose letters home were not published in the local paper.” The letter from J.C. Morgate states he visited Cuffley with “another Williamstown boy, by the name of D. Robinson (he is the brother to Robinson, the plumber, of Elizabeth Street, Williamstown,” to see the wreckage of the first Zepp brought down on English soil. “Last Sunday I paid a visit to the East End of London to see the damage done by the Zepps that they brought down in Essex,” his letter continues.

Hospital’s premier fan By Goya Dmytryshchak Williamstown resident and former Victorian premier Steve Bracks is a firm believer in the value of Williamstown Hospital. So much so he is happy to have become patron of the hospital’s New Heart appeal, which is aimed at raising $2 million for upgraded patient and visitor facilities. Kicking off the appeal, a fundraising concert featuring Kate Ceberano, with Williamstown’s Shaun Micallef as MC, will be held this month on the quay at the Royal Victorian Motor Yacht Club. More than $1 million has already been raised after a bequest from a former Williamstown patient and locally-based fundraising activities. Unlike most hospitals, Williamstown Hospital, which opened in 1894, lacks outdoor spaces for patients and visitors. The appeal is aimed at raising money to build a community hub in the heart of the hospital with courtyards and gardens for patient rehabilitation and exercise. Mr Bracks said the hospital was a great facility that had served the community of Williamstown and district for a long time. “I was instrumental when I was the local member and also premier in making sure … it was retained, because it was earmarked for closure and change to a private hospital. “It’s retained its casualty, it’s retained its operating theatres and it’s now a very effective hospital. “This appeal is really to look at what other contributions we can make to make it even better, and to look at the integration of the whole hospital with a better facade and better presentation and I’m pleased to be part of the appeal.”

Last year, more than 6000 elective surgeries were performed at Williamstown, including cancer, orthopaedics and gastrointestinal procedures. All proceeds from the Kate Ceberano concert on March 20 will support the appeal. Tickets cost $50 for general admission, with seating on the grass or in the clubhouse. Children under 16 will be admitted free. VIP

packages are available for $150 per person, which includes drinks, canapes and a balcony view of the stage on the quay. Doors open at 6pm, with the concert starting at 7.30pm For bookings, visit www.trybooking.com/ KJCU. For more information about the concert or appeal, contact Western Health Foundation on 8345 7660.

Two shot in bikie attack Police are piecing together events that led to a weekend shooting in Yarraville that has left one man fighting for his life and another seriously injured. The two men were gunned down outside the Bros outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouse in Campbell Street about 1.40am Saturday. There were about 50 bikies there at the time. A 38-year-old man from Altona and a 37-year-old man from Herne Hill were treated by paramedics before being taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. One of them suffered life-threatening injuries after being shot in the stomach, and the other was in a serious condition after being shot in the leg. Armed Crime Squad and Echo Taskforce detectives spent Saturday at the scene, sourcing CCTV footage to help their investigations. Gunmen previously targeted the clubhouse in 2013. In 2014, police ordered the club to remove heavy security devices from the clubhouse including steel bollards, doors and bars, strengthened glass and CCTV cameras. The shooting was one of three at the weekend, culminating in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man in Kingsbury on Saturday night. Echo Taskforce Detective Sergeant Steven Finnerty described the shootings as “highly concerning”. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Benjamin Millar

Inspections to reduce fire risks By Goya Dmytryshchak In the wake of two major industrial fires at Brooklyn in just over three months, 20 industrial sites across Melbourne’s west will be inspected in a bid to lower fire risks. Staff of the Environment Protection Authority, Metropolitan Fire Brigade and four councils will make unannounced inspections of businesses, including landfill, tyre storage and material recycling operators. Businesses will be targeted in Altona North,

Brooklyn, Laverton North and West Footscray. Inspections will cover waste stockpiles, firefighting equipment, access for emergency services vehicles and to water supplies, and plans to prevent fires and minimise potential ignition and fuel sources. On January 26, the western suburbs were cloaked in smoke after a Brooklyn tip caught fire. More than 50 firefighters battled the Bunting Road blaze. It followed another Brooklyn fire – on October 18 at Sims Metal recycling – that took

more than 100 firefighters and 10 hours to control. EPA chief executive Nial Finegan said the inspections would be undertaken with officers from Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, and Wyndham councils.

“The best way to prevent high-risk industrial fire incidents is to work together to identify risks and then for EPA to work with the operators, the MFB and local council to have those risks addressed,” he said. MFB chief officer Peter Rau said the inspections aimed to minimise risk to the community and firefighters. “We’ll work with facility owners and operators to minimise and eliminate factors that may pose a threat to both firefighter and community safety,” he said.

Williamstown lawyer Patsy Toop has been inducted onto the Victorian Honour Roll of Women in recognition of her trailblazing litigation work and volunteering. Ms Toop was recognised for 34 years’ legal work representing workers’ human rights in cases involving the likes of asbestos-related and chemical-induced illnesses. Ms Toop’s honour recognises her volunteer work as a director and founding board member with WISE Employment in Australia and WISE Ability in the UK, helping to empower thousands of disabled and marginalised people. She was also recognised as a founding board member and passionate volunteer for the Seaworks Foundation, which supports the restoration and preservation of Williamstown’s maritime precinct. “I was completely overwhelmed and shocked,” Ms Toop said of her honour. “And very honoured and humbled. My modus

operandi is really helping people achieve the best outcomes they can … I’ve always been driven by that. “I have actually been one of the major litigators in Victoria who have trailblazed precedent-setting in the courts. “In the area I practice in, I’m very much reliant on community opinion because my cases are always tried with a jury. “I think it’s just a matter of being a human and being sensitive to the world around you and the community … understanding the way we all feel and think, and that we all really aim at the end of the day to do the right thing.” Ms Toop was among 20 women inducted on Monday, joining more than 500 other Victorian women inducted since the honour roll began in 2001. Other new inductees include jockey Michelle Payne and comedian Mary Kenneally. Goya Dmytryshchak

West health care comes full circle A world-renowned doctor has stepped up to the challenge of recruiting GPs to Melbourne’s west by opening a new medical “one-stop shop” in its industrial heartland of Altona North. Dr Mukesh Haikerwal will open Circle Health on Sunday on the site of the old bowling alley in Blackshaws Road. The centre will have a medical practice, pharmacy, dentist, pathology, psychologists, physiotherapists and 13 specialist medical consulting rooms. Dr Haikerwal, who resigned as chairman of the World Medical Association to focus on the new clinic, said the multimillion-dollar venture was conceived and funded by himself and eight partners, mainly GPs. He has previously warned that Hobsons Bay’s GP crisis would worsen because of the ageing population and the difficulty of attracting GPs to the west. “The number of medical practitioners has not increased,” he said. “Retiring practitioners have not been replaced. Recruitment to the area is hard in an industrial suburb. “We want to recruit and train students, trainee and qualified GPs to retain them in the area. This enterprise is very much a personal effort of the practitioners from the area to the area,” he said. “The goal of Circle Health is to provide GP, other specialist and allied healthcare services in an all-encompassing health environment, conveniently located under one roof.”

Dr Haikerwal, who is moving from the Circle Surgery in Millers Road, said it had been hard to find a suitable site for the new centre. “It’s very much about keeping services in the area for the area, so that people still have access to it,” he said. “The difficulties you have when you build are things like council regulations for parking, so you have to have ample parking. “The other part that you have to deal with is that people have to want to come and work here in the west – it’s always seen as a bad business decision. “So I want to make the facilities very attractive so that people want to work there … and attract other disciplines there as well. “And then of course, for the patient … there’s buses there, plenty of parking, easy access, disabled access.” The new centre at 230 Blackshaws Road opens at noon on Sunday, with a public tour.

Vale, Olympic pioneer Tributes have been flowing from the rowing world for Olympic medallist Sarah Tait, who has lost her battle with cancer. The Yarraville mother, who took part in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games before clinching silver in 2012, died last Thursday aged 33. She had battled cervical cancer since 2013. Husband Bill Tait, the Victorian Institute of Sport head rowing coach, said the family is grateful for the support being shown through a difficult time. “The families are enormously proud of the positive impact Sarah has made on so many throughout her life.” Ms Tait’s remarkable career won her gold and silver in the 2005 world rowing championships,

followed by bronze in 2011. She captained the Australian women’s rowing team for Beijing (2008) and London (2012) Olympics. Australian Olympic Committee president John Coates said Ms Tait pioneered a familyfriendly policy allowing children to be reunited with their athlete mothers during training and competition. “The legacy she leaves for younger women who would like to pursue both motherhood and elite sport is truly inspirational,” he said. Ms Tait is survived by husband Bill and children Leila and Luca. A public memorial service will be held in the Pioneer Women’s Garden in the Domain at noon on Thursday. Benjamin Millar

Freeway rethink urged By Benjamin Millar The proposed Western Distributor freeway could destroy open space in the inner west without removing trucks from local roads, a parliamentary committee has heard. Three local groups made the claims about Transurban’s $5.5 billion project to the Victorian Parliament’s economy and infrastructure committee. Friends of Stony Creek president Steve Wilson told the committee the grassroots group started work on Stony Creek Reserve in 2003, transforming the former

municipal tip and wasteland into “thriving parkland”. Mr Wilson said Transurban’s original Westgate option, with a southern portal in the existing freeway corridor, would have only minor impact on Stony Creek, compared to the Hyde option, which would include a freeway fly-over and ramps that would fragment the parkland and impact existing flora and fauna. “An acceptable design response would build upon and enhance this value, not diminish it,” Mr Wilson said. Scott Ellerton, of Concerned Locals of Yarraville, said the initial proposal was

“reasonably well received” by the community, but the updated option, preferred by the state government, brought the portal too close to residents, cut limited green space and added to pollution and noise concerns. Transurban chief Scott Charlton was yesterday scheduled to provide the committee with an update on the progress of the project. The state government on Monday called for residents to nominate for the project’s community liaison group. Applications close March 18. Visit www. westerndistributorproject.vic.gov.au

The artist in residence at Woods Street Arts Space in Laverton is collecting stories and photos of two local streets. Artist Heather Van Heerwaarden (pictured) is undertaking the project, titled Memory Mapping - Lohse and Woods Streets, Laverton. She is holding free sessions at the arts space at 44 Woods Street from 4-7pm on Fridays until April 1. People are invited to drop in and share their stories, photographs, newspaper cuttings and memories of life in Woods and Lohse streets. “What we’re trying to do is get a sense of what that precinct around Woods Street Arts Space was like when it was a bit more of a vibrant shopping area,” Ms Van Heerwaarden said.

“The aim is to engage with local residents, local community and people who have lived there in the past and ask them to bring in stories of, perhaps, local characters who used to be part of the area or what the shops were like, if there were specific shops they used to go to, to get a sense of what the vibe was like in the past but also to [engage with] people who use the area now.” Some people may be asked if they would like to tell their stories on film. At the end of the residency, information and items will be used in a multimedia exhibition as part of the National Trust Heritage Festival in May. Goya Dmytryshchak

MY PLACE Award-winning Newport artist and this month’s Blake Prize winner Robert Hague talks to Goya Dmytryshchak.

We moved to Hobsons Bay from Sydney in 2009 to be near family and friends, to have space for our children, my studio and a garden. Can you tell me about your road to becoming a successful artist and some of your proudest accomplishments? I made the decision to be an artist early on, and never let failures or poverty stand in the way. It is not necessary to follow the group, attain academic awards or even have the respect of your peers to make great art. It is far more important that you make the work for yourself and follow your ideas, no matter how crazy they may seem. Proudest accomplishment? A major state gallery and the National Gallery of Australia are acquiring my work for their permanent collections, neither of which I am allowed to announce yet. What do you like about Newport? Newport to me is family. It is the parks, the schools, the bike rides and the bay. What would you change?

I love Sammy’s. I meet there with other artists at least once a week. It is unpretentious and Jason often gives us a free custard bagel. As a family, we love Newport Sea Catch, where the whole Elhouli family are lovely, especially Fatima and Betty. Our local corner shop (Newport Supermarket) is also the best – Kittie, Vince and Kim are considered part of our family, and often send the kids home with homemade Vietnamese deserts. You do some unusual artwork. Where do you get your ideas and inspiration from? For example, how did you come up with the idea to crush your artwork after it was completed for the Crush exhibition? I just stumble from one artwork to the next. Each informs the last. To make art, you must learn to let it go. I had a series of works that had evolved over five years and, in an effort to move on, I decided the final work must be the most demanding. So I spent three months learning to slipcast, decorate and fire porcelain. These final pieces were then smashed and with the help of another Newport Lakes Primary School dad, Mike Hirchfield, filmed at high speed. The resulting video has recently been acquired by the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and will be shown at Melbourne Central this month in a public art project.

Pope Francis has declared from December 8 last year until November 26 this year as a time to celebrate an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy.

Students James Racovalis and Hasan Nurdal. (Supplied)

“God does not deny justice,” Pope Francis said. “He rather envelopes it and surpasses it with an even greater event (mercy) in which we experience love as the foundation of true justice.” He uses the image of a door as a powerful symbol, calling the year to be a Door of Mercy through which all are welcome. The Catholic education community is being challenged and inspired, this year in particular, to extend tangible assistance to those in need, to recognize and follow the example of people who in some way ‘open doors’ for others. Danielle Fairthorne, director of Catholic Identity at Mount St Joseph Girls College in Altona, says: “We will guide our students’ thoughts and actions, calling them to live with compassion and justice. In this Jubilee Year, the College will reach out to local communities through our social justice campaigns and programs.” A critical social consciousness and a commitment to social justice, ideals Catholic education has a tradition of instilling in students, will come even more to the fore. Each school will have its way of expressing this Door of Mercy, and students and teachers can expect opportunities for school communities to engage in a broad range of activities that showcase Catholic education in open, inclusive ways.

School connections build lasting bonds If it’s true that great things come in small parcels, can that sentiment be true of a school? Annunciation School Brooklyn principal Barry Ennis says, emphatically, yes. “It’s our relative smallness that helps form the intimate connections between peers, teachers, and school and parents,” says Mr Ennis. “We all know each other, including most of the parents. This encourages a caring and accepting environment, where the children feel valued and secure. This helps them soar when it comes to striving to fulfil potential. “It’s just a very supportive atmosphere.” Mr Ennis says Annunciation is also a high-performing school, one that has small,

inquiry-based programs.

“A mix of experience and expertise in the teaching staff enables excellent teaching and learning across the curriculum. We also have exceptional provision for technology, such as chromebooks and iPads.” Specialist programs include technology, music, Italian, PE, gifted education, arts and special education. Support in the form of low school fees and an after-school care program are part of this school, where giving witness to the Catholic values underpins teaching.

Since Gemma Goodyear started as principal of St John’s at West Footscray, plans are afoot to focus on building, creating and encouraging the stamina needed for life-long learning, among both the teaching crew and the students. At the forefront, says Ms Goodyear, is the school’s celebration of the Catholic education tradition in meaningful ways. “We know the Catholic education environment is changing, and the level of religious practice in some parishes is diminishing,” she says. “This means it’s even more important for our schools to be welcoming, inclusive and supportive. We can meet challenges in exploring our faith and have real conversations around the place of God in our lives. “I also believe the most successful schools are those where diversity of culture, religion, gender and ability is valued. Diversity is like a photo of our world … it

helps children grow in appreciation of similarities and respect for differences. We have 21 nationalities represented here, harmoniously sharing their cultures with joyful generosity. That’s special.” Ms Goodyear thinks there’s strength in the belief that everyone is both a teacher and a learner. “Our school has a dynamic, high-tech environment – open, inviting, challenging. “Our teachers are a diverse, vibrant group, too. You can read on the staff Hello Page on the website about their dedication to teaching and their many interests and pursuits, which help broaden knowledge and promote empathy and inclusion.” Top researchers and educators, such as Michael Fullan, Dylan William and Andy Hargreaves, spur new ways of thinking, and St John’s is listening to and learning from good research. “We know we’re in a world where questions are as important as answers. “In times of rapid change, learning stamina is key and our students and staff are definitely on track.” St John’s, 34 Essex Street, Footscray. Inquiries: 9687 3150 or www.sjfootscray.catholic.edu.au

COME AND DISCOVER ST JOHN’S You are invited to join us, whilst we continually explore the world at St. John’s. Our dream together is continuing to build a school where all feel welcome, safe and successful. We always dream, we dream to be better connected to our world, we dream of possibilities, we create hope and make education real and relevant!

Some of what you will see that help make our dreams reality: • up to date tools - iPads, Chrome books, laptops one to one • Japanese, Physical Education, Art, Farm to table cooking • camps (beach and country) • many excursions and incursions • before and after school care Our multi faith and diverse community welcomes you.

BOUNTY HUNTERS Call me what you like, but one thing I am not is a food snob. Which is why one of my favourite cookbooks is Nigella Bites by Nigella Lawson. It has a “trashy” section, with recipes for everything from Elvis Presley’s fried peanut butter and banana sandwich to ham cooked in Coca Cola. As Nigella herself says: “Enjoying food isn’t about graduating with honours from the Good Taste University.” Bless her! So it was with great excitement I invited my foodie friend Maria over to roadtest another recipe from Nigella’s “trashy” section: Deep fried Bounties with pineapple.

KELLY GRIGSBY CITY OF WYNDHAM CHIEF EXECUTIVE

You dip the Bounty bars into batter whisked together using 150 grams of self-raising flour and 200 to 225 millilitres of fizzy water. Make sure the batter’s not too thick – just enough for it to adhere to the chocolate. Deep-fry them in sunflower oil (or other suitable oil) until puffed and golden. We didn’t have a deep-fryer on hand but found that a heavy-base, deep fry pan did the job well.

FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? KG: Fair. Time to cook is a killer for me. When I can, I do love to cook for as many people as we can fit around our dining table.

Served with pieces of fresh pineapple, they are delicious. Think of a hot and crispy pina colada – though they’re so over-the-top decadent, you wouldn’t want to overdo it. I stopped at four!

FB: What is your signature dish? KG: African couscous paella.

We did a version using gluten free flour, which worked well.

FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? KG: Even though I’m yet to travel to France, I love French food. So my choice of a final meal would be freshly shucked natural oysters; boneless chicken breast filled with brie, avocado and shallots, served with a honey-chilli sauce; and profiteroles filled with ice-cream and topped with hot chocolate sauce.

They may not be the height of sophistication but they sure tasted good.

FB: What is your favourite food TV show and who is your favourite TV food person? KG: Jamie Oliver. I have watched his 30-Minute Meals series on DVD. He’s also making a difference through Jamie’s Ministry of Food. He’s able to offer people a practical and affordable alternative to fast food and inspires children and young people to take an interest in growing and/or sourcing fresh produce.

As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au

What unusual foods have you battered and deep-fried?

FB: What is your favourite food? KG: Vietnamese rice paper rolls – they are fresh, quick and easy. On a bad food day, chicken parmigiana! FB: What is your favourite drink? KG: Definitely water. I do enjoy a nice local wine, too. My favourite at the moment is the Shadowfax riesling. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? KG: Malala Yousafzai (Pakistani activist), Helen Mirren, Tim Cook (Apple chief executive), Joshua Wong (activist, Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement) and Sia Kate Isobelle Furler, my favourite singer. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? KG: I swear by my Tupperware onion chopper. Best invention ever.

“The most indispensible ingredient of all good home cooking: love for those you are cooking for” Sophia Loren.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds an ideal spot behind the flowers to chill out over a casual lunch Down behind a Mount Alexander Road florist is a cool, green space just right for a chilled-out lunch on a sunny Saturday. It’s retro central – in the form of armchairs, sofas and more. And retro, too, in the form of the kitchen and serving area, for which purposes a vintage caravan has been pressed into service. Given the tight space situation, it’s no surprise the food line-up is equally tight and also light. That’s fine by us – on the way there we mused over possibilities such as Somalian, Chinese BBQ meats and dumplings, but the truth is we’re just not THAT hungry. Our jaffles arrive looking as pretty as pictures. Bennie adores his Doori Time! ($8.50) with its chicken and cheese swimmingly soaked in a delicious dark sauce. It’s unclear if the shredded chook has spent any time in a tandoori oven, but it matters not. This jaffle comes with a pot of raita – nice touch, that. My Brekkie Time ($8.50) is good, too, though doesn’t have quite the same sort of flavour hit. The ham is indeed cut thickly and it works fine with the egg and sauce. Our matching $3.80 cafe lattes are spot on. It’s worth signing up to the Little garden Cafe Facebook page, wherein specials such as a Beefy Slaw sanger of “succulent bbq pulled beef, creamy housemade slaw, mozzarella cheese, toasted on organic sourdough” are regularly listed.

47 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ MARCH 9, 2016

SPORT Upset in A-class as young trio blitz grand final Altona showed a total disregard for the form guide, leaving red-hot premiership favourite Hoppers Crossing stunned after the Western Region Tennis Association section 1 pennant grand final. The youth-driven A’s not only caused a major boil-over but did it ruthlessly, winning five rubbers to nil on the road at Wootten Road Reserve on Saturday. Sean Spralja, the A’s number three player, was respectful of the opposition and what they’d achieved this summer but went in quietly confident his team could produce an upset. “They were undefeated all season, but I did feel that, if we all played at our best and worked

as a team, we could get the win,” he told Star Weekly. “That’s what ended up happening.” At no point did Altona give Hoppers Crossing a look-in. The A’s stormed through the singles rubbers, despite having to face in-form Hoppers’ duo Shaun Sharp and James Cook. Sharp – Hoppers’ numero uno – had just been named the competition’s most consistent player, but even he was powerless to stop the A’s on this day. A’s top player Robert Carpio thrashed him 6-0 before the A’s second, Jordan Glowacki, beat him 6-2. Spralja overcame Cook 7-5 in a tight battle,

then Carpio repeated the match-to-love dose over Cook. The doubles was a non-event with Hoppers forfeiting due to injury. The A’s ended up winning 31 of the 38 games. “We always knew we had it in us to beat them, but to beat them that well was a surprise, that’s for sure,” Spralja said. The Altona trio now have Tennis Victoria’s pennant competition starting next month. “We’ll be playing teams from all across the city rather than just the western region,” Spralja said. “It’s a lot stronger competition, so it will be a good challenge for us.” Lance Jenkinson

Spotlight on young Jets

There was cause for concern early on Sunday, but Jack Noble and Yarraville have been given a finals lifeline as the ‘lucky losers’. (Kristian Scott)

Eagles limp to final four By Lance Jenkinson Yarraville is one step away from a Sub-District cricket grand final, but had to endure an agonising wait before its ticket was punched for the final four. The Eagles had their wings clipped in a heavy seven-wicket qualifying final loss to Werribee in the south-west group match at Yarraville Oval on Sunday. But there was still a glimmer of hope, as three winners and the highest-ranked loser advance from the first week of the Subbies finals. The third-placed Eagles stood to benefit if both Hoppers Crossing, who finished fifth, and defending premiers Ormond, who came sixth, lost their qualifying finals. News filtered through to Yarraville early that Hoppers Crossing had lost, so then all the focus was on the match between minor premiers Oakleigh and Ormond. Set 189 for victory, Oakleigh was in a spot of bother at 8-118, leaving the Eagles on the brink of elimination. Eagles captain Matthew Love admitted that at that point his players were considering plans other than donning the whites next weekend. “We were talking about watching the Twos at

Williamstown,” he told Star Weekly. “Then [we heard that Oakleigh] were eight down with 30 to get, then 20 and then 10 runs to go.” Somehow, someway, Oakleigh came through for Yarraville, with an unbroken 71-run stand for the ninth partnership to win by two wickets. The pain of the Eagles’ loss to Werribee earlier in the day was forgotten as they advanced to the preliminary final as the ‘lucky loser’. “It’s already shaken off,” Love said of the defeat. “There’s an absolute buzz around the place and we’re excited and rapt to get the opportunity to play another game in the finals. “We lost our match around tea time and still didn’t know the result of the Oakleigh-Ormond game. “But I said that if we managed to get through, we should see it as a reward for what we’ve done throughout the season, to finish in the top three and our chance to have another crack at it.” Yarraville was on the back foot against Werribee for the most part. Batting first, the Eagles managed only 117 in 53 overs, with veteran David Wolfe the only nuisance with 27 from the top of the order. The visiting Tigers were cautious about the way they chased the small total, largely brought

48 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ MARCH 9, 2016

about by Yarraville’s quality bowling and never-say die approach, but it was comfortable in the end to reach 3-120 . “All season, our positive has been our bowling and fielding, being able to squeeze sides and make it really hard to score off us,” Love said. “We dragged it out to tea, so we made it hard for them, but we didn’t have nearly enough runs on the board to get that competitive.” So Yarraville lives to fight another day, facing premiership favourite Oakleigh in a two-day preliminary final on the road. Nobody expects the Eagles to go to Warrawee Park Oval and upset the Oaks. “In some ways, we’ll be going in with absolutely nothing to lose,” Love said. “From Oakleigh’s point of view, they’d be happy to play us but, hopefully, we’ll show them why that’s not the case. “All the pressure is on them, they’re the top side and we’re coming to their home turf and we’re going to throw caution into the wind and give it all we’ve got.” All four Yarraville teams are through to the preliminary finals in their grades. The Thirds and Fourths won; the Firsts and Seconds lost but got the second chance.

An AFL rule change means there will be more eyes than ever on the Western Jets this season. The capacity for AFL clubs to trade future draft picks means recruiters will no longer be primarily concerned with top-age talent coming out of the TAC Cup system. If AFL clubs see something they like at a bottom age or under-16 level, they can start positioning themselves to get that player by securing more selections in the draft in which he is slated to participate. Western Jets region manager Shane Sexton said the change had already had a noticeable impact. “If [AFL clubs] find something that they like, they can trade a future pick for that. It has certainly become a bit more intriguing because of that,” he said. “We’ve seen this already with the under-16s. The recruiters already want to know who are the best young talents coming through.” The Western Jets are just weeks away from kicking off their 2016 campaign which has been building after an intense pre-season. “You agonise over the composition of the squad and there are always some really tough decisions every year,” Sexton said. “It is very difficult but it is something … over the years we feel like we have established a really good process. “Whichever way you do it, though, unfortunately there are going to be some disappointed boys.” Already locked in is the Jets’ 2016 leadership group. The club has appointed Oscar Junker, Judah Dundon, Nicholas Giarrizzo, Daniel Venables and Wilson Berry. Sexton praised those boys for embracing leadership roles throughout the pre-season. “They certainly demonstrated the qualities we are looking for in leaders,” he said. “In the finish they were elected by their peers. The whole squad voted on who they thought would be best suited. “There is great buy-in there from the playing group which … is really important.” The Jets are expected to finalise the captaincy in coming weeks. The Jets will start their 2016 campaign with three vital matches – against the Oakleigh Chargers, Eastern Ranges and Sandringham Dragons. Those contests will be used to help select the Vic Metro squad for the forthcoming under-18 national championships. Liam Twomey

Williamstown lifts its game By Lance Jenkinson It was a streaky FC Williamstown performance but the home side still came away with a commanding 4-0 win over lower league Cleeland United in the second round of the nationwide FFA Cup on Saturday. Blues coach Slobode Stojcevski described a tale of two halves for his side at JT Grey Reserve, the first riddled with errors and indecision, the second filled with highlights and better team cohesion. “I wasn’t really happy with the first half,” he told Star Weekly. “In the second half, we had good periods of possession and created goalscoring opportunities almost at will.” It needs to be put into perspective what FC Williamstown achieved in a short space of time. A largely rebuilt Blues team was playing a competitive match for the first time together and, while the opening 45 minutes were nothing to enthuse about, the final 45 provided a teaser of what this side could be capable of. “We turned the ball over too easily in the first half,” Stojcevski said. “Our movement off the ball was not co-ordinated because players were still trying to work each other out. “We strung it together a lot more in the second half and once you start stringing a few passes together, confidence grows as well.” FC Williamstown’s goals were a combination of the sublime and the ridiculous. The Blues led at half-time thanks to a 30-metre stunner from captain Aleks Dimitrijevic. “It was an absolute blinder of a goal,” Stojcevski said. “He hit it nicely on the volley.” In the second half, Gorgi Niceski finished off a fine team goal after Williamstown built up the play from the back.

“We worked the ball almost from the back to the forward line with about 15 or 16 passes,” Stojcevski said. The Blues had another highlight reel goal in them, this time from Piotr Rutkowski, who sent an overhead shot sweetly into the net. “He is one of our more experienced and elder statesman in the team, so that was pleasing

to the eye for the spectators,” Stojcevski said. Daniel Di Lorenzo rounded out the Blues scoring from the penalty spot. FC Williamstown will now meet FC Clifton Hill in the third round on Saturday.

It’s all over for Footscray Edgewater Footscray Edgewater has bowed out of Premier Cricket on the final day of the regular season for the second year running. Unlike the gut-wrenching circumstances surrounding last summer’s ninth-placed finish, this was a little bit more cut and dried for the out-of-form Bulldogs, who had to see it coming after losing their past three matches. They needed to beat Monash Tigers on the road at Central Reserve in the last round on Saturday to preserve their spot in the eight, but were outplayed by the premiership contenders in a six-wicket loss. Despite the disappointing finale, the glass is half full for the Bulldogs,

who unearthed some promising youngsters this season. The blow of missing out on the finals again is softened by the promise of what lies ahead for their top-tier rookies. Matt Underwood, Tearan Gleeson and Jonah Koch produced some eye-catching performances to suggest they could be permanent fixtures in the line-up for years to come. Underwood made 133 on day one against the Tigers, a startling performance from a first-year player. Koch claimed a five-wicket bag against St

Kilda, while Gleeson has not looked out of place in the latter rounds after shining in the Seconds. With 260 to defend, the Bulldogs had the game taken away from them by Tigers opener Daniel Sartori. He made 108 and formed a number of meaningful partnerships to get the Tigers most of the way to the target. Will Sheridan and Sam Taylor finished off the job and the Tigers’ total of 4-261 sent the Bulldogs into elimination. All four Bulldogs teams missed out on the finals. Lance Jenkinson

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Finally,

some good news for West Footscray Football Club with Shane Lucas becoming senior coach. The club’s 300-game premiership player will have Kane Liossis as his assistant. While there’s still a lot of work to be done and effective recruiting is needed, they at least have something to build on. I keep hearing from clubs that players are demanding big dollars and that it’s a players’ market. Rubbish! Clubs need to get together and embrace the big picture for the future of the game at grassroots level. That’s easier said than done, of course, especially when you have clubs paying juniors big dollars to jump from one club to another. But clubs can’t continue to spend what they don’t have. And they can’t promise a bloke $500 a game then come September say, “Sorry, we don’t have it.” Nor can we have clubs on the verge of shutting their doors every other year.

■ I’ve

been friends with the Prismall family for years, so I felt for them when several media people jumped on their high horses over Brent’s employment as welfare manager at the Bulldogs, even though he was one of 34 past and present players banned over the Essendon drugs saga. The Bulldogs believe they had clarified the position with the AFL, so neither they nor Brent was deliberately doing anything wrong. But clearly the AFL got it wrong and Brent has now been stood down from his role. Going by WADA rules, that probably had to happen. It was no secret he was working at the club and in what capacity. The difference is that Brent is no longer a professional footballer so he needs a job to pay the bills and feed his family. That job happened to be at the Bulldogs. Like the other 33, he can’t play footy but surely he’s allowed to make a living.

Bulldogs hold their grip By Lance Jenkinson A month ago, Footscray United was striving to avoid relegation from the VTCA west A1. Now the Bulldogs are just one win away from a premiership, following a stunning transformation over the past three games. “No one can believe we’re here,” Bulldogs’ batsman Stuart Ainge told Star Weekly. United has shown its finals form, cruising to a 76-run win over Werribee Centrals in the semi-final at Scovell Reserve on Sunday. The Bulldogs had too much firepower with the bat, making 9-262 on day one to set up the win. Steve McKay produced a captain’s knock for the Dogs. He formed an innings-changing 56-run fourth wicket partnership with Robert Lasslett (27), taking the wind out of the sails of the highly-rated Centrals’ bowlers early, dispatching balls around the ground. “It was quite wet early, so the wicket was doing a bit and the new ball was hard work. We were 3-30, but McKay and another former junior of ours, Robert Lasslett, put on a vital partnership,” Ainge said. “Steve’s innings was excellent, he did the hard work early and went on with it.” That partnership meant the aggressive Geeth Silva got to the crease by the time the wicket

had flattened out. Silva, who would stake a claim as man of the match for his all-round performance, entertained with a fast 67. “The way he plays is very aggressive,” Ainge said. “To get through to the point where the wicket had dried out before he came in was crucial, and he cashed in.” Werribee Centrals had a similarly constructed innings. The Centurions had a shaky start before being rescued by Brad Broughton (78) and Shaun Jennings (36). The pair put on 69 for the third wicket, to give the visitors a fighting chance. Unlike United with Silva, the Centurions did not have a finisher, and were bowled out well short for 186. Silva hammered the final nail in the Centurions coffin for this season with 4-39 off 19.3 overs. “We were behind the eight-ball at one point,” Ainge said. “They needed about 100 off the last 20 overs, with four or five wickets left, and Broughton was still in. “He was obviously the big wicket to get and, once we did, we were in the box seat from then on and managed to get the last couple of wickets really quickly.” Footscray United will now meet minor premiers Altona Roosters in a four-day grand

final at Hanmer Reserve, starting on Saturday. The Roosters charged into the big dance with a 171-run annihilation of Williamstown CYMS at Langshaw Reserve. Leigh Lewis was the composer of the show for the Roosters, with 8-16 off 14.1 overs to have CYs all out for 66. The Roosters powered to 4-237, led by Hamon Uppal (78) and Chris Dine (64), before CYs conceded defeat. In senior division, Yarraville Club’s bid for a premiership three-peat is over after a 41-run loss to South Caulfield. The Clubbers were bowled out for 160 in search of South Caulfield’s 201. It was a bit of revenge for South, which has lost the past two grand finals to the Clubbers. In the north west division, the Druids obliterated Airport West-St Christophers by 70 runs, setting up a grand final clash against Keilor. In west B1, West Newport shocked previously unbeaten Deer Park to move through to the season decider, where it meets Footscray ANA. Meanwhile, Williamstown Congs will become a new member of the VTCA, making the move across from the WDCA. The VTCA is looking to further expand its competition through the west and north-west in coming seasons.
