Ghosts of Altona’s past Sarah Langhorne died in 1871, but many people claim to have seen her ghostly apparition peering from a window of Altona Homestead. The homestead, built by Sarah and husband Alfred in 1842, has long had a reputation for being haunted and has attracted international attention from paranormal investigators. Now Lantern Ghost Tours will run guided tours of the homestead from next month as part of the National Trust Heritage Festival. Company founder Jacqueline Travaglia says there have been numerous sightings of a forlorn Mrs Langhorne, who missed city life and whose beauty stopped her from making friends. Her life was marred by tragedy after she lost two of her children. “Sarah gave birth to Henry Langhorne at the homestead,” Ms Travaglia said. “He died aged seven months and she also lost a teenage daughter. “Although Sarah is long departed, people have seen a sad woman’s face staring out from the lounge room window.” The tours, costing $23.80, will be at 8.30pm every Saturday from April 23 to May 28.

extension of curfews on Somerville Road in Yarraville and Moore Street in Footscray. Mr Williams said traffic banking up had a flow-on effect in surrounding streets and delayed buses trying to reach the Buckley Street depot from Victoria Street. “If this is the future for the next 18 months, what we will have is a continued local mess.” A spokesman for Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said the minister apologised for the severe disruptions experienced by so many due to the CityLink Tulla widening project. “Roadworks, unfortunately, can lead to additional travel times in the short term, but these works are essential if we are to ensure

our road network can handle our growing population.” The government has been criticised for failing to add more train services to the west, but Mr Donnellan said everything was being done to assist drivers impacted by the works. Additional CCTV cameras have been installed at key intersections and VicRoads is increasing green traffic light times to keep vehicles moving. “We know this will mean delays for motorists … and we know it will take time for people to settle in to different driving conditions and travel patterns.” VicRoads did not respond. 1219971-HM10-16

Commuters are bracing for 18 months of gridlock in the inner west as works get under way to fix a notorious freeway bottleneck. Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong drivers are experiencing significant delays on key routes due to traffic being directed to Geelong and Williamstown roads to avoid West Gate Freeway and CityLink works. These began last Wednesday, with drivers from the west warned that morning peak trips could take up to 15 minutes longer. Yet travel times by Thursday included 70 minutes from the Ring Road to Montague

Street, 58 minutes from Williamstown Road to Footscray Road, and 36 minutes from Geelong Road to Footscray Road. Drivers are being told to use Footscray Road as an alternative city route, funnelling heavy traffic onto Buckley Street, which has only one lane in each direction. Buckley Street resident Craig Williams said the road was ill-equipped to handle the extra pressure. “I don’t think it’s a viable alternative. It’s disappointing we didn’t know a little more in advance that they were planning this.” Buckley Street has already recorded a significant spike in truck traffic since the 1182408-CG18-15

Parking policy critics lament lack of ‘detail’ Parking meters in Footscray and Yarraville will remain switched off for at least another month as Maribyrnong council seeks feedback on a new draft parking policy. But the policy is already under fire from two councillors who say it’s being rushed and lacks sufficient detail. Chief executive Stephen Wall last week presented a draft Destination Parking Management Policy to councillors. The policy is in response to the switching off last December of parking meters in central Footscray and Yarraville village in the face of

a widespread public backlash. The suspension of meters is likely to strip more than $1 million from council coffers. The policy recommends the preparation of local activity centre reports, reviewed every five years, as well as “triggers” to review parking controls that would seek feedback from residents and traders. Cr Martin Zakharov said the idea of a Maribyrnong-wide policy had the support of Yarraville residents and businesses who had fought the introduction of parking meters. Cr Michael Clarke said the policy would

introduce reason and logic and end “armchair conjecture” and “ad hoc” decision making. “We have a framework for moving forward as a way of managing what will be a significant issue,” he said. But Cr Grant Miles said the draft policy failed to address the challenges of parking management for coming years. He criticised a lack of focus on encouraging people to use other methods of transport and said more time was needed for community feedback. “I have looked at a lot of other innerMelbourne policies and they are extremely

She said the increase in family violence reports, up from 1035 to 1071, showed increased confidence by victims in reporting and in police responses.

“Those experiencing family violence are encouraged to report it to police so appropriate intervention, referral and actions may be taken,” she said. An 8.1 per cent increase in crime was recorded across Victoria, up from 459,681 to 497,116 offences in the previous year. Family incidents were up 9.2 per cent.

Inner-west hit hard by crime

By Benjamin Millar A surge in drug and theft offences fuelled a 6.4 per cent rise in crime in Maribyrnong in the 12 months to December 31, newly released data shows. Overall crime was down 3.4 per cent in Hobsons Bay in the same period. Crime Statistics Agency figures show 8663 offences recorded in Maribyrnong in 2015, up from 8139 in 2014 yet still below the 2012 peak of 8900. The 6782 offences recorded in Hobsons Bay were down from 7019 in 2014 but still above the 2013 figure of 6696. In Maribyrnong, drug dealing and trafficking offences almost doubled from 103 to 191, drug use and possession rose from 371 to 423, and deception was up almost 50 per cent, from 505 to 754. Footscray’s Acting Inspector Jason Templar said the rise in Maribyrnong drug offences reflected increased enforcement in central Footscray. “It’s actually our focus on this crime that drives that,” he said of the increase. “At some point we want to see a reduction and we want people not there engaging in this activity.” Stalking, harassment and threatening behaviour offences jumped from 99 to 141, while theft rose from 3493 cases to 3783, driven by a 35 per cent rise in theft from motor vehicles, from 1024 to 1378. Assaults dropped from 515 to 487, sexual offences were down from 141 to 111, and extortion offences fell from 31 to 10. Acting Inspector Templar noted that a number of offenders were from outside the area and committing opportunistic crimes while passing through. In Hobsons Bay, deception was up from 357 to 429 and robbery climbed from 36 cases to 51. Theft dropped from 2790 to 2585 despite theft of and from motor vehicle offences rising from 969 to 993. Sexual offences were down from 175 to 102 and drug and weapons offences were also down. Hobsons Bay’s Inspector Michelle Young

comprehensive policies. They go into a lot of detail,” he said. “I just don’t find enough detail in this policy to put it forward.” Cr Nam Quach said the draft policy was based on sound principles but was more of a “discussion paper”. Consultation closes on April 5 before a revised policy goes before council’s April 16 meeting. Details: maribyrnong.engagementhq.com

Crime statistics from the inner-west reveal a tale of two cities. From the end of 2014 to last December 31, there was a 10.3 per cent jump in crimes in the 3012 postcode – Brooklyn, Kingsville, Maidstone, Tottenham and West Footscray – which was the largest increase in the inner-west. Crime was up by 10.2 per cent in Braybrook, 6.6 per cent in Yarraville, and 2.5 per cent in Footscray and Seddon. But falls of seven per cent were recorded at Williamstown and Williamstown North. Further declines were measured at 6.3 per cent at Altona and Seaholme, three per cent in Altona Meadows, Laverton and Seabrook, and 0.7 per cent in Newport, Spotswood and South Kingsville. Footscray and Seddon remained the region’s crime hotspots with 3037 offences. Yarraville recorded the lowest number of offences at 787. Hobsons Bay police’s Inspector Michelle Young said the Brooklyn area’s 10 per cent crime rise could be curbed by security upgrades, such as CCTV. “Updated security systems and vigilance around property security will certainly assist police,” she said. Footscray’s Acting Inspector Jason Templar said thefts from motor vehicles – the biggest crime category – were driving up statistics in the affected postcodes, which are susceptible given their lack of off-street parking and the number of transport hubs where cars park all day. He noted many offenders came from outside the area to commit opportunistic crimes. Residents can keep track of crimes of concern via the Maribyrnong Eyewatch Facebook page.

West tops state for jobless youth By Goya Dmytryshchak Ten suburbs across Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay have the highest youth unemployment in the state, topping even the number of jobless in the Northern Territory outback. The suburbs of Altona, Braybrook, Brooklyn, Footscray, Maidstone, Newport, Seddon, Spotswood, Yarraville and Williamstown were included in this unemployment cluster. The latest national snapshot from the Brotherhood of St Laurence shows the

unemployment rate for people aged 15 to 24 averaged 17.3 per cent in Melbourne’s west. The rate was 13.7 per cent in the Northern Territory outback, while the national average was 12.2 per cent. Youth unemployment in Melbourne’s west ranked 12th-worst in the nation and had risen in this area by 3.7 per cent since 2014. Brotherhood executive director Tony Nicholson said young people were at a higher risk of unemployment than other age groups. “Digging into the data, we find some regions

bearing a much heavier burden than others,” he said. “Our globalised economy makes it hard for young people to find entry-level jobs. This generational issue needs sustained attention on all fronts,” he said. Mr Nicholson said while the national youth

unemployment rate was down from a high of almost 14 per cent in December 2014, it was still well up on the level before the global financial crisis in 2008, when it dipped below nine per cent. The national youth unemployment rate was more than 2.5 times the rate found among adults aged 25 and older (4.6 per cent). Other Victorian hotspots were the Geelong (16.9 per cent) and Hume (16 per cent) regions. The worst rate in Australia was 28.4 per cent, recorded in outback Queensland.

The Anzacs go online details: age, occupation, address, service number, rank and regiment. The applications were filled in by the families and friends of those who served, and sometimes by soldiers themselves. The Our Local Anzacs website also encourages users to add stories of any soldier, sailor, airman or nurse who is named on the site. The project has been funded by the Australian Government Anzac Centenary Local Grants program.

The society has honoured Footscray Anzacs, including McCoubrie, through a project that has made digital copies of nearly 1500 handwritten certificate of appreciation applications, matching them with nearly 2000 names on Footscray Town Hall’s honour board. Footscray Historical Society president Bill Horrocks says a new website will be launched almost 100 years to the day since the former Footscray city council recognised its Anzacs on the honour board. “It’s an exciting project; it will be a vast treasure trove of information,” Mr Horrocks said. “People will be able to check on the website to find out information about individuals from the area who served.” Mr Horrocks said the double-sided, A4-sized application forms included rich personal

Ambos pinpoint danger zones By Goya Dmytryshchak Paramedics have identified more than 50 no-go zones in 16 suburbs in Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong where they have been attacked. They have warned colleagues about dangerous addresses in Altona, Altona Meadows, Altona North, Braybrook, Brooklyn, Footscray, Kingsville, Laverton, Maidstone, Newport, Seabrook, Seddon, Spotswood, West Footscray, Williamstown North and Yarraville.

Ambulance Employees Association state secretary Steve McGhie said paramedics in the west had been stabbed, punched and spat on. “Most of the issues are due to aggression and violence caused by drug or alcohol abuse, domestic violence issues and mental health issues,” he said. “Paramedics can be sent to a location unaware that a person or people there had previously been aggressive and violent towards paramedics. “It ranges from verbal abuse to threats to assault.

‘‘

They have even had blood spat in their faces - Steve McGhie and eyes

’’

“Across the state, paramedics have been shot at, people have tried to stab them, they’ve been punched, and verbal abuse is common. “They get spat on quite often and paramedics have even had blood spat in their faces and eyes.” The ambulance union is calling for zero

tolerance and for anyone who assaults a paramedic to be charged. Ambulance Victoria acting general manager Mick Stephenson said paramedics could flag addresses where violence was likely, enabling police back-up to be arranged. “No paramedic is expected to enter a scene where violence is likely or suspected,” he said. “We also work with Victoria Police to increase information-sharing to better identify danger spots, including where individuals may be violent, have a mental health issue, use drugs or own a firearm.”

Fairytales as new media Follow the crumbs … to Footscray’s Bluestone Church Arts Space for a special school holiday treat. Created by wit incorporated artistic director Belinda Campbell, the musical adventure Fairy Tale News will bring laughs for the young and young at heart from April 2 to 8. The show, featuring a cast of fairytale characters, centres on Granny’s basket of goodies. Featuring toe-tapping songs, colourful costumes and jokes for all ages, the show’s hosts, Hansel and Gretel, take children and adults on a celebration of favourite children’s stories through the lens of modern media. Director Jennifer Piper says the Melbourne International Comedy Festival show brings fairytales to life, editing them for broadcast. “Fairy Tale News brings classic fairytales and a real-world setting crashing together with hilarious results.

“We love surprising and exciting our audiences, especially those who might be visiting the theatre for the first time.” Having trained as a broadcaster, Jennifer is well placed to parody the news show format. “I look forward to celebrating the more ridiculous parts of children’s fiction and broadcast media in a way that leaves audiences grinning until their faces hurt.” Following the success of their ticket giveaways for February’s production of Couch Potato, wit incorporated are again giving local residents a chance to see a show for free.

Ex-mayor says goodbye By Goya Dmytryshchak Even those who knew Dick Murdoch well couldn’t have predicted he’d be late to his own funeral. The strains of Frank Sinatra’s My Way filled a packed Williamstown Town Hall on Wednesday last week to farewell the former mayor of Hobsons Bay. Then came the first eulogy – from Mr Murdoch himself, his voice booming from the speakers in a pre-recorded message. Mr Murdoch, who could never be described as punctual, joked that the congregation may have noticed the service started a couple of minutes late so people could “call me the late Dick Murdoch”. The community stalwart died on March

3, aged 78, after a long battle with cancer. Mr Murdoch detailed his life’s path in his eulogy and spoke of what a great place Williamstown was to grow up in and how much he appreciated people and the community. He won a teaching scholarship after finishing year 11 and spent his life teaching in the western suburbs, ending his career as a principal. He was elected to the former city of Altona in 1992, served as Hobsons Bay mayor from 1999-2000 and served on the council until his retirement in 2004. Mr Murdoch was a life member of Newport Baseball Club and the Probus and Lions clubs of Altona, and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for community service in 2006. He said in his eulogy: “I’ve enjoyed every minute of my earthly existence. They were all

good days; just some were better than others.” His younger brother, Peter, then gave a eulogy, noting Dick’s national service in the navy, where he incurred the scorn of other Nashos for having an easy time playing in the brass band. He mentioned his brother’s love of football, particularly his beloved Swans, and his little quirks. “No matter what the state of the game he always liked to leave at the 20-minute mark of the last quarter so we could ‘beat the rush’,” Peter said. “We often had to wait until we got home to see who’d won.” After the service, mourners went to Newport Baseball Club to continue the tradition of placing a beer in the diamond for a lost member. Mr Murdoch is survived by daughters Beth and Susan and partner Jenny.

Hundreds turned out to farewell the former convenor of the Hobsons Bay Residents Association, Colin Palmer, at Altona Memorial Park on Friday. Mr Palmer died on March 13, aged 60, after a short battle with cancer. For the past 14 years, he had worked as a community advocate and was influential in the election of several Hobsons Bay councillors. Mr Palmer worked on campaigns such as saving Paisley Park in Altona North and fighting a toxic soil facility in Altona, and was known for his catchphrase: “A better way for Hobsons Bay.” Mourners were told of an eighthcentury Irish poem about heaven. “It speaks about heaven as a great lake of beer, with the people of heaven gathered around the lake, dancing and singing and drinking happily for all eternity,” Sister Mary Wickham said. “I think Colin could relate to that concept, the party by the lake of beer.” The gathering heard how Mr Palmer had endured a childhood of “abject neglect” but “forged a life that had meaning and dignity”. He met his wife Anne in 1973 when they were teenagers, and they married in 1984. She said: “Colin was born a pauper and died a king.”

Something to talk about By Benjamin Millar Plans are almost complete for a new $1 million playground to be built on the banks of the Maribyrnong River. Draft concept plans show the Footscray Park play space would build on the distinct Edwardian character of the park, and cater for children of all ages and abilities. The design includes detailed landscaping, as well as a flying fox, roundabout and basket swings. Maribyrnong councillors last week voted to send the designs out for public feedback. They also gave the nod for a new $250,000 park gateway. A council report found the existing Footscray Park playground is difficult to access, lacks variety and fails to cater to children of all abilities. The report noted the proposed play space will increase tree canopy cover and biodiversity. “Existing mature trees will be retained and incorporated into the design.” The report found the existing Moore Street entry, dating back to the 1960s and consisting of a chain mesh fence, concrete retaining wall and pedestrian ramps, fails to draw people into the park. Cr Sarah Carter said a new Moore Street gateway could help attract more people. “This is certainly a very prominent gateway and we have the opportunity to really make a mark.” The draft 2016-17 capital works budget contains $250,000 for the gateway. Funding is yet to be allocated for the $1 million play space. Consultation on the design will be held over coming weeks and final concept plans will go before the council in June.

Pavilion puts women onside The state government has contributed $100,000 towards a new pavilion that will enable greater female participation in sports at Altona’s JK Grant Reserve. The project includes a new office, undercover area, and upgraded changing rooms, showers, toilets and umpire facilities. The pavilion is used by Altona Football Club, Altona Junior Football Club, Altona Auskick Centre and Altona Cricket, which have a combined membership of more than 630 participants. Altona MP Jill Hennessy on Friday announced a $100,000 community sports infrastructure fund grant to upgrade the pavilion. “I’m particularly proud to see Altona sporting clubs working to increase women’s involvement in sport,” she said. “This project will help the clubs attract and retain female participants and umpires, as well as opening up the potential for the venue to host junior finals matches.” Hobsons Bay deputy mayor Sandra Wilson said the pavilion would be a major component of the Altona central sports precinct plan to improve local facilities. “Council will also receive a $25,000 grant from AFL Victoria, on top of the $20,000 in tenant club contributions and, including council’s significant contribution, will take the total investment in the precinct to about $1.5 million.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Rifles used in Altona arrest A Laverton man was arrested after the Special Operations Group swooped on an allegedly stolen car in Altona on Wednesday night. Shopkeepers reported police armed with assault rifles surrounded the car about 6.40pm in Civic Parade, near the corner of Millers Road. Police smashed a driver’s side window of the Audi station wagon to arrest the driver. Uniform officers and detectives searched the car, bagging evidence at the scene. Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Colson said police arrested the 32-year-old driver before executing two search warrants in Woods and Wright streets, Laverton. He said this resulted in the man being charged with 29 offences including ice trafficking, possessing ammunition, car theft and burglary. The man appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday and was remanded to reappear in the same court on April 13. Goya Dmytryshchak

Masked men terrify shop owner Two masked men wielding a machete have terrorised a milk bar owner in Altona Meadows. The pair, also brandishing a baseball bat or pole, entered the Four Square Store in Victoria Street about 8.45pm on March 13. Senior Constable Katherine Lehpamer, of the Altona North Embona Taskforce, said one of the men pushed the 60-year-old shopkeeper to the floor and demanded money.

The other smashed a glass covering on the counter in a bid to intimidate the man, who has run the family-owned business for 15 years. Senior Constable Lehpamer said the pair fled when the shopkeeper’s wife activated an audible alarm. “The victims are obviously scared and anxious about whether the offenders will come back or whether it will happen again,” she said. “The shop owner, who was pushed to

the ground, said he had had trouble sleeping since the incident. “It’s a very quiet residential area and we were quite surprised when we got the job for that area – it’s not something that happens often around there. “We think the offenders could be local because they arrived on foot and left on foot. “No cars were sighted directly around the milk bar at the time, so anyone who saw these two running or walking in the area around

Scout king drops in The King of Sweden dined in Williamstown on Friday as part of a Melbourne visit. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden dined with 31 scouts and their families at Seaworks, presenting the young people with Scouting’s top honour. The boys and girls, aged 13 and 14, received the Australian Scout Medallion. King Carl Gustaf, who was a cub and scout in Sweden, is honorary chairman of the World Scout Foundation fundraising body.

He had planned to sail to Williamstown aboard the tall ship Enterprize but the journey was ruled out due to inclement weather. On Friday, he launched Victoria’s latest Scout hall – for the Caroline Springs Scout Group. His planned visit to the new hall in Burnside Heights was disrupted by storms, so the king’s party conducted a dedication ceremony at Sydenham’s Catholic Regional College.

MY PLACE Spotswood’s Pam Stock has volunteered at Gateway Community Services for about 15 years. She speaks to Goya Dmytryshchak.

I’ve lived here roughly 28 years and I love it so much. It was perfect for when I was working because my job took me all over the place – I was a representative for my company. I raved on about it so much that now I’ve got my niece and her husband and their son living in Williamstown, so I’m pretty proud of that. What do you love about Spotswood? Its convenience to everything. My hairdresser actually told me something interesting and I feel it’s true: that Spotswood is the smallest listed suburb in Australia. It’s stuck in between Newport and Yarraville and when you look at housing and things like that, people must love living here because you don’t often see houses for sale. It’s just an interesting little suburb and we just drive down the end of the avenue and you’re almost on the West Gate – not that I’d want to be on there at the moment, I think it’s a bit of a problem. But, generally speaking, when I was working, I had to go across as far as South Australia – well, you’d be on the freeway and on your way in a blink, so it was always wonderful for that. Since I’ve stopped working, it’s just a little town within a city. What would you change about it? Nothing. I think it’s perfect the way it is. It’s just nice.

Can you tell me about your volunteer work? I don’t have children so I needed something because I had a very busy job and I was very, very busy. I went over to Gateway Community Services and I found that was the answer. I’ve done a bit of everything there. Initially, I was what they call a jockey – there’s a driver on the bus and the jockey is the person that gets out of the bus and makes sure the members coming on are safely assisted on and buckled up. And then I did another program which was friendly visiting . . . you go and visit someone in their home. Now I’m in the kitchen preparing food or meals for the people who come into the programs. The staff are wonderful. The training and the support is just ongoing, plus meeting all the – we call them members – the people who are part of the structure of Gateway Community Services. They’re not quite United Nations but there are different nationalities there and they all have a wonderful life story to share with you. They’re just so interesting to talk to and are just wonderful people. What’s your favourite cafe or eatery? I go to Candied Bakery in Hudsons Road. It’s just wonderful. I take my friends there and my family there, and then when I go visiting various members of the family, I have to take them something from the bakery.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir explores some Year of the Monkey offerings … Consider The Sauce and a few pals gathered for an informal Chinese New Year celebration recently, the venue being a brand new Chinese place called Mr Pan Fry. As previously noted, we love the intense diversity of Racecourse Road, but we rarely venture down this end, so I have no recall of what business was formerly at these premises. Mr Pan Fry is done out with crisp but basic furnishings and colours. The front window space is dedicated to on-view dumpling production, though by the time I think to photograph some of that action, work has ceased for the night. There’s a heap of dumpling varieties listed on the menu, which also extends to a variety of meat and vegetable main dishes, and some rudimentary rice and noodle offerings. We order with abandon, doubling up on some dishes to ensure there’s enough to satisfy all nine of our appetites. Shanghai fried noodles ($10.80) are a good, basic dish. And the broth-laden “baowie steamed juicy pork buns” ($10.80) are very excellent. Pot stickers (pan-fried chicken and prawn dumplings, $12.80) are served like a crispy upside-down pie. These, too, are very good. Stir-fried tofu with vegetables ($13.80) and fried tofu with pork mince and Sichuan sauce ($13.80) entice us away from dumplings. The latter’s tofu is a silky smooth treat in a dish that’s our most spicy of the night by quite a distance.

MR PAN FRY Address: 268 Racecourse Road, Flemington Phone: 0455 452 119 Stir-fried salted pepper ribs ($18) are nice, but not quite what we – well, what I – have been expecting. The tangy batter is rather like that which most of tonight’s group had across the road at Pacific Seafood BBQ House … in that case, the batter-coated chicken ribs. With pork ribs? Hmmm, interesting … chewy, but not quite a bullseye. In addition to all of the above, at Mr Pan Fry we also enjoy spring onion pancake. And we had a delicious, unctuous dish labelled stewed pork belly with chef special sauce ($20.80), which for some reason escapes scrutiny by my camera, but which is, perhaps, the hit of the night. We find the food at Mr Pan Fry to be mostly very good, with the dumplings rating a notch higher. The menu isn’t as long, but the approach is somewhat similar to the adjacent I Love Dumplings. I suspect, somehow, that Mr Pan Fry has a good chance of becoming a regular haunt. We’ve eaten well and having such a big group kept the price per head at a most admirable $22.

BEST CARROT CAKE My hubby loves carrot cake and, when I ask him what kind of cake he’d like for his birthday, that’s the one he always requests. The only difference this year was the decoration (as a nod to his radio background, I made little vinyl records and musical notes out of fondant icing to go on top). The recipe I use is an old White Wings one I’ve had for years and years. It is ridiculously simple (the only laborious part is grating the carrot), and always results in a lovely, moist, crumbly cake. If you’re after an easy, delicious carrot cake recipe, this one ticks all the boxes. Just don’t be tempted to take it out of the oven too early – you don’t want a sunken centre.

Ahoy, me hearties, the music’s all live I

t lays claim to having some of the best live music in Melbourne – and The Pirates Tavern could similarly say it has as much soul as any inner city laneway – possibly more. It’s a big call but this huge tin shed of a pub, hidden away in the industrial docks and warehouses of the Williamstown maritime precinct, is a true original.

… as much soul as any inner city laneway There’s nothing fancy about this place … and therein lies its charm. It’s the kind of pub that not only has a bar, but also squashy old armchairs near a wood heater, a cow-hide sofa, communal tables and a stage for the many visiting bands that range in genres from rockabilly and blues, to honkytonk and rock. A band plays every Friday night, and every Sunday, October to March, and every second Sunday, April to September. Kids are welcome to get in on the action – they can dress up as pirates if they want, as can adults – and everything’s heartily convivial and all about the music. All of the proceeds from events and bar go straight back to supporting the site’s development. And – and this a large ‘and’ – visitors

can bring their own nibbles and food, such as fish and chips or pizza from local takeaways. This is not only a significant budget-buddy but also seems just right for such a place that celebrates the older ways. The Pirates Tavern is a unique, self-catering venue for birthdays and weddings, why not farewells as well. Imagine the photo ops to be had, with views across the bay and historical, character-filled vignettes at every turn. The tavern (at Seaworks in the original Port Authority workshops) also serves as the clubhouse for Williamstown Maritime Association, so is decked out in artefacts and paraphernalia telling the maritime history from local, Victorian and Australian perspectives. It’s very organic, and true to the association’s vision of preserving its story for future generations. This slice of Melbourne’s history was saved from the developer’s wrecking ball, and Maurice Boyd, president of Williamstown Maritime Association, and club and committee members, reckon it has an exciting future. The Pirates Tavern, rear 82 Nelson Place, Williamstown. Opens 6pm-late Friday, 2-6pm Saturday, 1-6pm Sunday, Saturday night for private functions, other times by arrangement.

‘Do the right thing’ plea to drivers A

Victorian road safety expert has issued a heartfelt Easter plea to all the state’s drivers ... slow down and stay alive. RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council chairman Jim Giddings said it had been demonstrated time and again that speed was a major factor in most road crashes. “So stay within the speed limit and drive to suit the conditions,” he said. “Speeding affects both the risk of a crash happening and the severity of injuries sustained when a crash does happen.” Mr Giddings made his appeal as Victoria Police prepared to launch Operation Nexus,

Road trauma isn’t just about the people who die a five-day statewide blitz that will form part of the Easter holiday safety campaign. Police hope it will increase driver awareness and journey planning and keep our roads safer during what is often a high-risk time. This five-day operation will run from Thursday, March 24 to Monday, March 28. Road policing advisor Senior Sergeant Ross Burbidge said Operation Nexus would be conducted throughout the state with as many police resources as possible. Police will specifically target the main causes of trauma on our roads … speed,

be patient and ensure they take at least a 15-minute break at least every two hours and not to drive if tired. “Road trauma isn’t just about the people who die – it’s about the enormous impact on the community, from the family members and emergency services workers who have to deal with these tragedies on

a daily basis to the police who have to deliver the devastating news to loved ones. “All the community has a responsibility and a role to play in reducing road trauma.” Senior Sergeant Burbidge asked the community to report speeding drivers to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Doggy daycare packed with smiles O

wned by husband and wife animal enthusiasts Roger and Melinda Depayva, Urban Paws is a unique Melbourne business that specialises in a variety of services for every pet owner’s loyal companion. Roger says their goal is a simple one. “We want to share our love, expertise with, and compassion for, animals by providing exceptional care for clients’ pets as if they were our own,” he says. “Our range of services include doggy daycare, in-home pet sitting (cats included), dog walking and dog grooming. “Our name was inspired when we realised,” Roger continues, “there was a need to provide premium pet care services for our ‘furry city dwellers’. Being pet owners ourselves, we weren’t fans of the kennels and catteries which lacked the personalised attention we so desperately wanted for our own pets in our absence. “We just knew there had to be a better option that would give our pets the one-on-one attention they needed while enabling them to continue their daily routine.” The pair’s quest for something better led them to the concept of offering care of pets in clients’ homes. Melinda takes up the story. “In 2009, we founded Urban Paws, offering a very personal, yet professional, pet-sitting and dog-walking service,” Melinda says. “Our business ethics and exceptional care have since allowed us to provide for more than 1000 clients, many of whom have become frequent returnees.” Today, Urban Paws not only offers the

A modern family venue M

any locals are amazed with the new feel around the Taylors Lakes Hotel, according to Terry Gunn, marketing manager. “It’s a credit to the owner that we have heavily re-invested into the venue,” explains Terry. “They’ve renovated our premium food outlets – JBJ’s Restaurant and the new Terrace Lounge with its alfresco decking. And our Sports Bar and TAB is also earmarked for an upcoming makeover.

The restaurant is now offering a new menu “The result has been very pleasing and has modernised our award-winning facilities to keep up with the times and our customers’ expectations.” The restaurant is now offering a new menu for diners to enjoy, with additions across the entree, main and dessert fare and there are also delicious choices on the weekly specials board. The restaurant is unique in the area as it provides a full table service dining experience. It also offers authentic Asian meals and has its own wood-fire pizza oven. One of the largest hotels in the north-west of Melbourne, it prides itself on continuous improvement and customer service in each of its many departments,

including Choice Quality accommodation, functions, bottle shop, Sports Bar, TAB, restaurants and the KORE Gymnasium. “If for some reason anyone hasn’t been to the hotel for a while, or possibly not at all, they should do themselves a huge favour and call in to see what all the excitement is about,” Terry continues. “I also encourage our visitors to have a walk around our extensive facilities. Our friendly staff will be pleased to answer any questions.” The fantastic changes and new menu are proving popular, so advance bookings for lunch and dinner are recommended to avoid disappointment on arrival.

Book yourself some ‘me time’ One of the best things about life beyond retirement and into the golden years can be simple guilt-free ‘me time’, when you often get to do what you want, when you want. It’s also a stage in life when a love for reading can be indulged. It may be a habit you dropped amid the busyness of life, climbing career ladders, tending to children and all the other must-dos that drive younger lives. Whether it’s a second time around with an old love, or you come to one of life’s true pleasures as a reading newbie, here are a few titles you may want to get into this year: 1. All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr Ten years in the writing, Doerr’s ambitious work shines a light on people trying to be good to one another, even against all the odds. It centres on a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths cross as they try to survive World War II’s devastation in occupied France. It took out the 2015 Pulitzer for fiction. 2. The Secret Chord, by Geraldine Brooks Sydney-born Pulitzer winner Brooks powerfully retells the story of the Biblical King David’s rise to power and his fall from grace. It’s a vivid story of faith, family, desire and power that brings David magnificently alive. 3. A Long Lunch, by Simon Hoggart This is a collection of gossipy, funny, telling and even startling anecdotes about other people. It’s described as the perfect toilet book, and that’s meant as high praise. It sounds like a good choice for the man of the house … 4 . All Passion Spent, by Vita Sackville-West Published in 1931, this is one of Sackville-West’s most popular works of fiction, later adapted for TV by the BBC. It’s a gentle read, one that addresses people’s control over their own lives, and recommended for curling up and getting lost in an older time. Carole Levy

The main bedroom also has built-in shelving, a cast-iron fireplace with a timber surround, and a window seat that sits below a big sash window. The main bathroom is also off the central

Reigning premiers Williamstown picked up where they left off last season, winning both VFL practice matches. The Seagulls faced long road trips to Casey Scorpions and Frankston Dolphins, where they secured comfortable pre-season victories. “We’re happy to get the results, but it’s not all about winning at this time of the year,” Seagulls football manager Chris Dixon told Star Weekly. “We came up against an up and coming Frankston team in tough conditions, with the wind favouring one end of the ground for most of the day.” Despite a stubborn opponent, Williamstown prevailed over Frankston by a hefty 36 points at the Frankston Oval on Saturday. With places up for grabs in round one, it was a chance for new Seagulls to impress, and for coach Andy Collins to mix and match his line-ups. “We had a number of guys who only played a half or three quarters,” Dixon said. “We had 28 guys roll through our team, so it’s pleasing all 28 got through unscathed.” It was a day when versatile bigs Ayce Cordy and Tyler Curtis shone for the Seagulls. Both had a commanding presence in the air and finished with two goals apiece. Cordy was one of the biggest names to cross to the Seagulls’ nest in the off-season, having played 27 games with Western Bulldogs. Expect the 204cm-tall to spend most of his time as a forward. “Good to see him bob up with a couple of goals,” Dixon said. “He’s proving that he’s going to be a really tough match-up up forward. “His height will be a dangerous weapon for us.” Jake Grieser was the stand-out of younger midfielders, with 18 disposals, while Liam Griffiths impressed off half back.

Willie Wheeler looks set for a bumper season after three-goal, high-possession game from the midfield. Skipper Ben Jolley and ruckman Nick Meese combined well in the centre. The Seagulls have a week off for Easter before the final pre-season game against Sandringham Zebras at Burbank Oval on April 2, when they launch a membership drive. “We’re hoping we can get a fair few people down there to build some momentum going into our round one game against Richmond,” Dixon said. Meanwhile, Jack Johnstone is facing a race against time to be ready for round one, after suffering a “freak work accident”, partially slicing a tendon in his hand. “We’ll assess that in a couple of weeks time,” Dixon said.

Footscray had a hard-fought 25-point win over North Ballarat in its second VFL practice match at Whitten Oval on Saturday. Only one point separated the sides at half-time before the Bulldogs put their foot on the accelerator with five goals to one to make it two from two in the pre-season. Bulldogs coach Ashley Hanson put out a raw Bulldogs side, with 10 debutants and only one AFL-listed player, Joel Hamling, in the squad of 26. Hamling was superb in defence, floating across for a number of intercept marks and inflicting his trademark spoils. New recruit Lauchlan Dalgleish was best on ground, while Josh Wallis, brother of Western Bulldogs star Mitch and son of former Bulldogs captain Steve, was outstanding on the forward line with three goals. The Bulldogs are back at Whitten Oval at midday on Saturday for a clash with Essendon. Meanwhile, Western Bulldogs will begin their AFL season with a tough encounter against Fremantle at Etihad Stadium at 1.10pm on Sunday. Former Hawthorn premiership player Matt Suckling could make his debut for the Bulldogs, while strong word from the kennel is that Marcus Adams, selected in last year’s national draft, will be considered after an impressive NAB Challenge in defence. The team will be named on Thursday. Lance Jenkinson

Brain fades send Druids to shock loss There is nothing more gut-wrenching than being a victim of a reverse outright, particularly on the grandest stage. But Druids have to live with that hollow feeling after having a VTCA north-west division premiership in their hands, only to fumble it on a dramatic third day of the grand final. Captain Shane Windridge described a Druids side that hit the self-destruct button, opening the door for Keilor to swoop for a five-wicket win at Crofts Reserve on Saturday. “It was a shocker,” he said. “We batted terribly [in the second innings]. “We had a few brain fades. A couple of guys ran down the wicket and got stumped, I played a sweep and got caught on the boundary . . . hit it straight to the fielder. We played poor shots at the wrong times.” In a topsy turvy affair, Druids went into the third day holding a slender first-innings lead. After batting first the previous weekend,

Druids could only muster 159 but then dismissed Keilor for 157. It gave Druids the chance to dictate the terms on the second weekend, although that proved more of a poisoned chalice. With a lush outfield after a wet week, the ground created the ultimate test of patience for the Druids batsmen. It was a challenge they were collectively happy to engage in, but ultimately each and every one cracked as the scoreboard was not ticking over at a desired rate. The exception was Leigh Wilson, who stood out with 48 of the Druids’ total of 114 in 63.5 overs, which gave them a lead of 116. “He was the only one who got stuck in and took it to the bowlers,” Windridge said. “The ground was pretty lush and you had to hit it in the air a bit to get value for runs, which Keilor took advantage of at the end of the day.” After observing the conditions for two and

They had no intention of mollycoddling the ball around in order to survive to stumps, so they went out with all guns blazing and reached the target in 21 overs. Captain Kaushal Lokuarachchi, a one-time Sri Lankan international, made 73 at better than a run a ball to lift his side to the premiership. “He batted unbelievably well and was definitely the difference,” Windridge said.

■ You have to love the first week of any AFL season, when the real stuff starts and the expectations of all supporters are at their highest, even for Bombers fans. The pre-season priorities for me are always about getting a look at the new boys and getting through free of injury. The Bulldogs are looking good and it will be interesting to see who makes the side for the first home game, against Fremantle on Sunday . . . I think you can expect three or four new faces. I’ll be hosting the pre-game activities in the players’ sponsors and past players’ room, plus the social club in the Victory room. Like all Bulldogs supporters, I’m looking forward to what Luke and the boys can deliver in 2016. ■ Werribee Football Club’s loss is the Essendon District Football League’s gain, with the resignation of Stu Balloch from the VFL Tigers. Stu has been a very popular person at the club in his eight-year tenure and has made a valuable contribution. The former Old Westbourne premiership player has a young family and his role with the EDFL will give him flexibility to spend more time with them. I’ve really enjoyed working with him and certainly seen him develop into a very good football administrator. I’m sure this is a stepping stone to Stu’s eventual involvement at the elite level, given his talent and work ethic. ■ Laverton Football Club is holding a custom car and bike show at its home ground, Laverton Park, from 10am on Saturday, April 2. The day is a fundraiser for the club and it’s $5 entry on the day with food, drinks and other entertainment. The Magpies will start their 2016 season at home against Sanctuary Lakes on April 9, which is also past-players day. The club is also playing on Anzac Day with a special ceremony to take place.

Out and down? Not City By Lance Jenkinson Melbourne City has won plenty of new admirers after an impressive FFA Cup campaign. City finally met its match in the fourth round with the state league 3 minnow losing 4-1 to NPL powerhouse Dandenong City at Paisley Park on Saturday. Melbourne City coach Leo Malik was very proud of the way his side acquitted itself against a team three divisions higher in the rankings. “We played some great football,” he said. “Even the coaches from the opposition told us that it was unbelievable to see a state league 3 team play that quality of football.” City was given a first-hand look at how an NPL outfit can punish your errors. The second and third Dandenong goals came on the back of City mistakes. “When you play against an NPL team and you concede silly goals, it’s hard to come back,” Malik said.

Apart from those mishaps, it was a solid performance from a City side battling out of its weight division. Andy Vargas, City’s boom new recruit, formerly of the Melbourne Knights and Green Gully, had a big impact in his new colours. He set up City’s only goal, which was scored by Bekkar Barakat. “We knew him [Vargas] before he got to the club,” Malik said. “He’s happy with the way the club is going so he wanted to come and play with us. He’s enjoying it and playing great football.” City’s defeat at the hands of Dandenong in no way diminishes the former’s otherwise impressive FFA Cup campaign. The side enjoyed wins over Surf Coast, Epping City and Middle Park, with the latter two games going to extra time. Malik said the cup run was the perfect preparation for Melbourne City’s state 3 season opener against FC Williamstown on Saturday, April 2.

“The last two games that we played were 120 minutes each,” he said. “To see the boys being able to run 120 minutes proves they have been working hard and the coaches are doing their jobs. “We were one of the few state league 3 teams left at this stage … all the rest were clubs from NPL and state 1 and state 2. “We played top-quality football … I said to the boys, we’ve raised the bar and have to keep working hard now.” In other cup results, Altona Magic romped to a 4-1 win over Ballarat Red Devils at Morshead Park Stadium on Saturday night. Striker Jason Hayne was unstoppable for the Magic with a hat-trick. Yarraville Glory will join the Magic in the fifth round after a 1-0 win over Brighton at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex on Saturday night. It was a huge weekend for the Glory with their women’s team advancing in the TeamApp Cup after thrashing Surf Coast 8-0.

■ Good Friday sees my stint at SEN come to an end until later in the year and, as always, it has been a great experience. My attention now turns to the Bulldogs, Werribee and the WRFL. We’ll have a new-look team calling the WRFL Match of the Day. More details in coming weeks but Steve Thom, the guru of the WRFL, is still on board. Thomsie and I are entering our 16th season of involvement in the coverage of the league and we’re as excited as we were on day one. With Fev – the King of the Jungle – playing at Deer Park, it will be of great interest to lots of people.

Local boy Matthew Hussey has won two 3000 metre Australian junior titles in a row. Competing at the Australian Junior Track and Field Championships in Perth, the Altona teen won the under-16 boys’ title in a time of nine minutes, 0.14 seconds. While early laps were run at a consistent pace, the tempo picked up with four laps to go. But it was at the 400-metre mark that the real race started between the four in front, two Victorians, a Queenslander and a South Australian. As the pace quickened 300 metres out from the finish line, Hussey hit the front and kicked for home, winning with a final lap of 62 seconds. Returning to Little Athletics competition last weekend, Hussey won gold in the state 1500 metres titles and silver in the 800 metres. As the summer track season draws to a close, the young athlete is now setting his sights on the cross-country season, in which he has enjoyed a great success in seasons past.

Bowlers pull flag from fire By Lance Jenkinson

After 34 overs in the VTCA west B1 grand final, Footscray ANA players were feeling sick to their stomachs. They must have thought they had blown a massive opportunity. ANA had been given the chance to set the tone with the bat, only to be dismissed for a dismal 88 in 34.3 overs, leaving a confident West Newport, one of the competition’s top batting sides, with one hand firmly on the flag. Then came ANA’s Houdini act as, somehow, the bowlers extricated their side from a perilous situation and removed the Lions for 76. How ANA managed a 12-run lead from such a weak position is staggering but it set the foundation for a famous premiership win. “We’re thrilled considering we were so far behind, ” ANA captain Daniel Nightingale told Star Weekly. All five ANA bowlers took wickets, including three to Damian Martin and two each to Billy Koziaris, Tyson Brennan and Sam Kuckucka. Martin and Koziaris are only teenagers, still eligible for the under-17s. ANA’s plan was to copy how the Lions bowlers went about it. “The team who won the toss wanted to bowl first because of a wet patch on the pitch just short of a good length,” Nightingale said. “We had much the same conditions. We wanted to pitch the ball up, although we also wanted to put it in the wet patch in the middle of the wicket.

VTCA - West B1 Grand final: Footscray ANA 88 and 176 d West Newport 76 and 3-89 “It was unsettling for the batsmen of both teams when you come forward naturally and the ball lobs up and you’re not sure what to do.” It was not the defining point in this match. With 90 overs still to play, ANA had to work hard with the bat in the second innings to avoid a repeat of their failings in the first dig. So they batted, and batted, all the way to the 81-over mark, making 176 for a lead of 188. Daniel Spencer chewed up 41 overs for his 36, Joshua Everest, batting at number nine, lasted 36 overs for his 38, while Koziaris (18) and player-coach Daryl Veteha (29) played important knocks. It left West Newport with nine overs and a near-impossible run chase of 20.8 an over. The Lions opted to have a go at it, but some lusty hitting only delayed the inevitable. But it made for some entertaining cricket as they reached 3-89 to fall short by 100 runs. “They wanted to see if they could knock off our total, which is fair enough . . . you never know what can happen,” Nightingale said. “Who would’ve thought we were going to defend 88 in the first innings? “It’s a grand final and they have a funny way of working out.”

Spin king propels United to title By Lance Jenkinson Footscray United’s rags to riches summer is complete with a Victorian Turf Cricket Association west A1 premiership. United upset Altona Roosters in a 63-run outright victory in the grand final at Hanmer Reserve after a magnificent fourth-day bowling performance from spinner Rasika Mandadigie on Sunday. Mandadigie had the Roosters batsmen spellbound en route to a match-winning 8-37. United batsman Stuart Ainge said Mandadigie had all his “tricks” going. “I think the Roosters got to 1-50 before he came on … as far as the fourth innings goes, he won it on his own,” Ainge said. “He’s got really good variety, he spins it both ways, he’s got a couple of straight ones that are different – a toppie that jumps and a flat one. They really struggled to read him.” Mandadigie left a trail of destruction through the Altona batting card. The Roosters eventually surrendered for 99 in 42 overs – a long way short of the desired target. The last wicket sparked wild celebrations among the United players, who have come from the clouds to pick up an unlikely premiership. Two months ago, United was staring relegation in the face but claimed big points in its final four matches of the regular campaign to sneak into the top two for the finals. “Six weeks ago we were a chance to get relegated, so to be sitting here with a premiership medal is unbelievable,” Ainge said. “Three weekends in a row [during the finals] we got the worst of the conditions, had to bat when it was wet … then we’d bowl when it’s sunny and wickets were hard. We had nothing go our way, but we found a way.”

In the second innings, United had a curve ball thrown its way. The side declared on 9-110 because allrounder Geeth Silva had been forced to make an urgent dash to the hospital. Silva was not out 31 at stumps on day three but his wife went into labour that night to give birth to their first child, a baby girl. Silva made his way to the ground late on day four when teammates were wrapping up the victory. “He got a massive roar as he emerged from

the carpark,” Ainge said. “All the spectators were rapt to see him.” Silva’s part in the grand final win should not be downplayed. The 31 he produced late on the third day gave United plenty of breathing space on the scoreboard in a low scoring game. Yasith De Silva had a superb grand final for the Roosters, taking nine wickets for the match. De Silva snared 3-23 in the first innings, followed by 6-47 in the second, keeping the Roosters in the game for the whole four days.

58 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ MARCH 23, 2016

Richardson to stay at Falcons By Lance Jenkinson Former Australian international Nicole Richardson will remain on the City West Falcons coaching staff, despite taking on a specialist role with Perth-based West Coast Fever for the upcoming ANZ Championship netball season. “Richo” has been an integral part of the success of the Falcons in the Victorian Netball League, helping develop some of the players who have gone on to feature in the Trans-Tasman competition, along with the implementation of game plans and culture. The 45-year-old, a one-time dual-sport international in netball and softball, was offered a full-time assistant coaching role with Adelaide Thunderbirds, but declined in favour of a part-time job with the Fever so she can remain based in Melbourne. “It’s just a fly in, fly out role in Perth,” Richardson told Star Weekly. “I’ll only miss about two VNL games, so I’ve got the best of both worlds. “The Thunderbirds [job] would’ve required me to move to Adelaide.” Richardson is keen to get experience in the ANZ Championship, with potential to work at one of the proposed expansion clubs. The 10-team competition is looking to add three new teams, with the possibility of a second side in Melbourne to rival the Vixens. “If I want to put my hand up for a gig like

that, I need coaching experience at that level behind me,” Richardson said. “When the WA offer came up, I grabbed it.” City West hit the court for the start of their annual pre-season tournament last Wednesday. After practice matches against state men’s team, it was the first chance for coach Marg Lind to see her squad against VNL opposition. “It’s about getting the players out on court and testing our combinations and our structures and strategies,” Richardson said. “We’re not overly concerned about results yet.” For the record, the Falcons split their opening night results, losing 29-28 to Southern Saints and beating Monash University Storm 35-22. The Falcons have an injury concern out of the opening night with Jacqui Newton rolling her ankle against the Saints. It was a big night for Anger Akek, who is believed to be the first Sudanese-born player to feature in VNL competition. Akek, who lives in Werribee, landed with the Falcons on a scholarship through the Altona Netball Association. “We offer scholarships to players with potential to be Falcons,” Richardson said. “She’s very athletic and once she gets confident on court and within the environment, we’ll see her develop into a really good athlete.” The Falcons will face Peninsula Waves and ACU Sovereigns on night two of the pre-season tournament at the State Netball and Hockey Centre tonight.
