New life for grand belle
A grand Williamstown property known as Berean is on the market. The heritage-listed house at 89 Esplanade is being sold by expressions of interest with an asking price of about $6.5 million. Formerly a shipping pilot’s home, the Edwardian villa was built in 1911 and is one of three historic buildings on that strip. Full story: page 10.
$17m for hospital fix By Benjamin Millar A $17 million funding boost will help reopen some of the dozens of beds closed because of Footscray Hospital’s dilapidated state. But critics argue the state government funding, to be included in next month’s budget, is a “Band-Aid” solution to a crisis that requires a massive and growing injection of funds. Health Minister Jill Hennessy said many of the wards and facilities at Footscray, dating back to the 1950s, failed to meet modern standards and community and patient expectations. She said renovations would focus on three wards
in the hospital’s south block, including the re-opening of 77 beds and an inpatient dialysis imaging unit. “These urgent works will make sure our hardworking doctors and nurses at Footscray will be able to provide the safe and high-quality care patients in the west need and deserve,” she said. “Melbourne’s west is one of the fastest growing areas in Australia – that’s why it’s so important we get to work on planning for the future healthcare needs of this community.” Footscray MP Marsha Thomson said she would continue to advocate for Footscray Hospital.
But western suburbs Greens MP Colleen Hartland said three wards and 73 beds would remain closed at the hospital. “This is welcome, but [is] just a Band-Aid measure to keep remaining wards open for a few more years,” she said. “The Andrews government has acknowledged the hospital is not up to standard, but has failed to commit to its redevelopment over the coming years. It’s not good enough.” Western Health has been pushing for the demolition and redevelopment of the hospital’s south block and crumbling emergency department.

A briefing document prepared for the state government in 2014 warned that more than $300 million needed to be spent at the hospital to keep up with growing demand. Despite continuing to push for the demolition option, Western Health operations executive director Russell Harrison said Western Health welcomed the $17 million in funding. “The minister’s announcement means we can now move forward with refining plans for how to rebuild parts of the hospital,” he said. ■ Private hospital redeveloped: Page 4 ■ Greens up ante on ED shortfall: Page 4

Workers steel for jobs fight By Adem Saban Local MPs are pressuring the federal government to secure future steelmaking jobs after a national manufacturer went into voluntary administration last week. Arrium, formerly OneSteel, which employs more than 600 people at its Laverton North site, owes almost $3 billion. Up to 1000 jobs will be lost at the company’s Whyalla site in South Australia. Administrators say there will be no Victorian job losses in the short term, however state Werribee MP Tim Pallas and federal Lalor MP

Joanne Ryan have both called on the Turnbull government to act immediately to secure the company’s future. Mr Pallas said the state government has taken the lead, backing Australia’s steel industry by using local product in works to remove level crossings.
He said Victoria also has the strongest industry participation policy in Australia, with targets for local content on all major projects, including schools and hospitals. “The [state] government is working hard to support local jobs and local industry. We call on the Turnbull government to do the same.” Ms Ryan said the federal government could do a lot more to support the steel industry. “The Turnbull government can come out and say they want to see steel manufacturing continuing in this country,” she said. “This mill has been operating for a long time in the electorate. These are great jobs – highly

Federal Industry Minister Christopher Pyne said the federal government is doing all it can. Lenders and the Australian Workers Union opposed the administrator appointed by Arrium and moved yesterday in the Supreme Court to have forensic insolvency firm KordaMentha take on the job instead.
Sentence appeal rejected
The legacy of Robyn Leach’s great uncle lives on through the inclusion of his photograph and name on an honour board in Williamstown. Adam Bain Thomson was a World War I soldier, who first fought in the Dardanelles at Gallipoli, where he was shot in the shoulder and wounded. He was later sent to Cairo, and ended up in Marseille, France, where he died aged just 29. “It was at 2pm on February 16 in 1917,” Ms Leach said. “He was accidentally killed in action”. The Werribee resident remembers hearing stories about her great uncle as she was growing up. “My father spoke about him a lot,” she said. “I’m very proud to have had an ancestor who fought in the war. I’ve done a fair bit of research on him and, following his story, I’ve developed a personal connection. “I now feel like I really know who he was.” She has tracked down copies of his diary, and read about the time he spent with the ambulance, taking the injured to boats returning home. The Sons of Williamstown Honour Board features 1800 local men who enlisted in World War I. The board came about after former councillor William Henderson collected portraits of the men from between 1917 and 1924. “It’s a great way to remember the people who fought for us,” Ms Leach said. Hobsons Bay council is running a talk and tour of the honour board at Williamstown town hall on April 28. RSVP: arts@hobsonsbay.gov.au
A court has dismissed an appeal against the “manifestly inadequate” sentence given to a man who bludgeoned his partner to death in Footscray. Isac Ayoul Daing broke into the apartment of former partner Maryanne Sikai on March 18, 2014 and beat her “to a pulp” with a piece of wood. He pleaded guilty to murder in the Supreme Court in February 2015 and was jailed for 18 and a half years with a non-parole period of 14 and a half. The Director of Public Prosecutions appealed against the sentence, claiming it was manifestly inadequate and the sentencing judge erred in finding Daing had shown a “modest amount” of remorse. The DPP argued the judge had failed to regard the sustained brutality of the attack on a defenceless woman and gave too much emphasis to Daing’s difficult past in Sudan and diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder. Justices Priest, Maxwell and Weinberg rejected the appeal in the Victoria Court of Appeal last week. Justice Phillip Priest said in his judgement that the sentencing judge took every relevant factor bearing on remorse into account in finding “evidence of some modest remorse”. “That finding was, with respect, unassailable,” Justice Priest said. “There was some evidence of remorse but it was limited.” He found the sentence “undoubtedly lenient” but not manifestly inadequate. “The sentence must be seen as at the lower end of the available range. But it was within range,” he said.

Greens up ante on ED shortfall

Hospital opens its doors By Benjamin Millar The $20-million redevelopment of the west’s only private hospital has been unveiled. Health Minister Jill Hennessy last week officially opened the new Western Private Hospital’s three-storey complex, which is linked to the original hospital across the road by an enclosed bridge. Next to the public Footscray Hospital on Eleanor Street, the redevelopment has doubled
the number of inpatient beds at Western Private to 68. It includes six new ICU beds, 21 cardiac services beds and the west’s first Positron emission tomography (PET) scanner, which will help reduce the need for cancer patients to travel great distances. Chief executive and director of nursing Vicki Canning said the redevelopment, the biggest at the hospital in 20 years, was a response to high demand for services in the west.
“We are in one of the fastest growth areas in Victoria and we are looking to plan our next phase,” she said. “We are looking to build our relationship with Western Health [the public hospital] and try to avoid duplicating services unnecessarily.” Ms Canning said the redevelopment had been welcomed by staff and patients. The redevelopment has also boosted local employment by doubling the number of nursing staff.
The Greens are calling on the state government to chip in $5 million to keep Williamstown Hospital’s emergency department open. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, Labor has started a petition to save the ED. At the same time, the state government has launched action in the High Court to try to keep $73 million in hospital funding Victoria must repay the Commonwealth. The federal government says Victorian hospital activity was incorrectly reported. It claims the state was overpaid, and has demanded it return the funding. Western suburbs Greens MP Colleen Hartland said she would raise the matter in State Parliament this week. “While I don’t believe we should be picking up the tab for the federal government regularly, with an operating surplus of $1.2 billion in Victoria, the Andrews government can afford to step in temporarily with a few million dollars to keep the emergency department open,” she said. “It would be a failure in its duty of care not to do so until the matter is resolved. “Footscray hospital’s emergency department is already struggling to keep up with demand, and long waits are common,” Ms Hartland said. “If you increase the attendance by nearly 16,000 people per year, it would be bedlam.” In 2015, about 36,520 patients presented at Footscray ED.

TAFE taps into ‘rescue’ fund By Benjamin Millar A $2.4 million funding injection will help vulnerable students remain in study at Victoria University’s TAFE division. Announced on Monday, the funding to Victoria Polytechnic (VPoly) is drawn from the state government’s $320 million TAFE Rescue Fund, and helps reverse some of the savage cuts to TAFE made by the former government. The funding will assist student outreach
services that provide counselling, welfare programs and disability assistance, as well as boosting language, literacy and numeracy programs. VU vice-chancellor Professor Peter Dawkins said the university has a proud history of creating opportunities for students to succeed. “This funding will enable us to continue providing the quality training we have delivered for the past 100 years,” he said. VPoly vice-president Grant Dreher said the

’’
funding was a step in the right direction that would assist up to 2000 students. “It is welcome news,” he said. “Some community service expectations on TAFE providers have been difficult to deliver.”
Diploma of beauty therapy student Ksenija Bogdanovic said student support services were vital to success, especially in courses with students from diverse backgrounds. Footscray MP Marsha Thomson said Victoria University plays an important role in helping disadvantaged students access training and job opportunities. “This will be helpful with outreach support in areas such as language and numeracy, which is very important in the western suburbs.”
Footscray, you’re a star Footscray is one of the lead characters in a new film hitting screens nationwide next week. Premiered at last year’s Melbourne International Film Festival, Pawno follows a day in the lives of a dozen characters who pass through a Footscray pawnbroker’s shop on a single day. Director Paul Ireland says people have connected with the film, set and filmed entirely in Footscray, and the “realness” of a story that reflects Australia’s cultural mix. “The fact that it’s a love story, about real people – just the normality of it means people can relate to it,” he said. Ireland said his desire to tell the stories of real people was influenced by his favourite directors, including Ken Loach, Mike Leigh and Andrea Arnold. Featuring a cast that includes Vietnamese, Indian, African and Aboriginal actors, Pawno aims to tackle the Scotland-born director’s frustration at the lack of multiculturalism on screen.
“Footscray is a massive part of the film,” he said. “It’s just a really cool melting pot of a suburb. I wanted a very multicultural suburb that shows the diversity and edginess and rawness that is still in this community.” To create the pawnshop for the film, the film-makers took over a real Footscray shopfront for six months. Locals and passersby were drafted in as extras, helping the film’s street scenes capture the colour. “There are all these real characters of Footscray who were happy to help us,” he said. “But it’s not just a film about Footscray – it’s about Australia.” Pawno opens next week at cinemas nationwide, including Yarraville’s Sun Theatre.

Traffic concern at childcare plan By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay council has received 37 objections to a proposed three-level childcare centre at Newport. Wilcon Projects applied to build a 112-place centre at 463-465 Melbourne Road, two allotments that currently have two single storey dwellings. The proposal includes a rooftop playspace and a basement carpark with 24 spaces. Residents have expressed concerns about increased traffic in Steele Street, where the
centre’s entrance is proposed to be located. One parent wrote in her objection that the proposed entrance was opposite Sacred Heart Primary School. “The traffic in Steele Street is extremely busy for a small residential street, which narrows to a laneway at one end,” she wrote. “And the street is full of children … the very busy back entrance to Sacred Heart Primary is on Steele Street, immediately opposite the proposed development and proposed carpark entrance. “The building marked as 5 Steele Street is
the school’s multi-purpose hall, which is used for all school functions, as well as before and after school care. “That means this is a very busy entrance to the school, especially by those collecting and dropping off by car every school day from 7.30am until 6.30pm, and later into the evening on the many school functions held in that hall.” A report prepared by Wilcon Projects states the centre is expected to generate up to 90 vehicle movements during peak times. “There is adequate capacity in the
surrounding road network to cater for the traffic generated,” it states. Wilcon director Kris Wilson did not address residents’ traffic concerns when questioned by Star Weekly. He said the centre would be built, owned and operated by a group with more than 20 years experience in childcare development and operation. “It will fill a clear and identified need whilst providing a net community benefit to the greater Hobsons Bay area,” Mr Wilson said. The council has extended the deadline for submissions until this Friday.
Finns steam ahead The Finnish Society of Melbourne has applied to Federal Gellibrand MP Tim Watts for a grant to help build a community sauna at Altona’s Finnish Hall. Society vice president Riina Aapa said saunas were integral to Finnish culture and had proven mental and physical health benefits. “Every house in Finland has a sauna so all of us who were born in Finland grew up going to sauna almost every night,” she said. “Kids in Australia have a bath every night . . . we’d have a sauna every night. “There have been a lot of requests, particularly from the younger side of the Finnish community, for a sauna, so we feel like it’s high time.” The society plans to open up the sauna to the broader community. Ms Aapa said there were saunas in Melbourne’s east but nothing in the west. “It’s not just Finns who go to sauna,” she said.
“The Japanese have their version and Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians all have the sauna culture. “There’s one at the Swedish church in Toorak and there’s a Japanese bathhouse in Collingwood which has a sauna. “But as far as we know, there isn’t one on this side of town.” Building of the sauna is due to start in September and be completed by the end of the year. The society has applied for a $15,000 grant towards the $45,000 cost. Mr Watts is distributing a total of $150,000 in grants of $5000-$20,000, which have to be matched at least dollar for dollar. Half of the grant money will be allocated according to which applications receive the most online votes from the community and the rest will be allocated by a committee. Goya Dmytryshchak

Total truck ban ‘non-negotiable’ By Benjamin Millar A total ban on trucks must be introduced on inner-west residential streets once the Western Distributor is completed, a parliamentary inquiry into infrastructure projects has been told. Appearing before a recent parliamentary committee sitting, Maribyrnong council chief executive Stephen Wall said the council was concerned that drivers trying to avoid tolls on the proposed $5.5 billion freeway may use “rat runs” through the city. The freeway, which will widen the West Gate
Freeway and tunnel beneath Yarraville before crossing the Maribyrnong River, has been proposed by toll-road operators Transurban and backed by the state government. Mr Wall said the council considered 24-hour bans on through freight truck traffic and proper enforcement “non-negotiable”. “It would be a superfluous exercise to put the infrastructure in but then not insist that the truck traffic use that infrastructure,” he said. The hearing was told that both Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay councils were seeking more detail on the project. Mr Wall said that while consultation had
been acceptable so far, lack of detail and transparency were making it difficult for the council to decide on a preferred option for the location of the southern tunnel. A long tunnel option begins in the centre of the West Gate Freeway, while a shorter option links with the freeway via flyover ramps, cuts through open space and crosses Stony Creek. “The short [tunnel] option . . . gets fairly close to our residents and there is a lot of concern from the community, “ Mr Wall said. “So at this stage council would suggest the long tunnel has less impact on the community.” Hobsons Bay council chief executive Chris
Eddy supports the proposal in general but differs from Maribyrnong over the preferred tunnel, given its likely impact on Hobsons Bay residents and open space south of the West Gate Freeway. “On the surface the long tunnel is probably less attractive to our community for the same reasons the short tunnel is perhaps less attractive to Maribyrnong council,” he said. The state government’s community consultation on the Western Distributor begins at the South Kingsville Community Centre from 9.30am-1.30pm on Saturday. Details: consult.transurban.com
VU takes a mighty hike A dedicated group of hikers linked with Victoria University has raised more than $30,000 for people living in poverty. Nine four-person teams hiked more than 100 kilometres of gruelling terrain in 48 hours at the weekend in Oxfam’s annual Trailwalker endurance challenge. The VU Centurions teams undertook the challenge through the Dandenong and Yarra Valley ranges to raise money for charity and mark the university’s 100th anniversary. The 36 participants included staff, students, alumni and friends. Each team was required to raise a minimum of $1400 to take part in the event but one VU team raised more than $5500. VU participant Mel Vella first attempted the walk four years ago but only made it halfway. This time she was determined to finish so she could help support Oxfam’s work in developing
countries, raising more than $2000 through her own fundraising activities. Another participant, Grant Meiksans, said the walk was particularly meaningful for VU in its centenary year, reflecting the university’s commitment to social justice and the community. “VU has a long history of creating meaningful social change by engaging, educating, and working in, and with its communities,” he said. The VU Centurion team of James Nightingale, Bruce Miller, Kerry Schilke and Luke Postlethwaite recorded the 11th fastest time of 690 teams. They raised $2895 towards the fundraising total of almost $2.5 million. Benjamin Millar The VU Centurions set off on their 100-kilometre journey. (Supplied)

Big fine over banned goods
Trevor Monti with his Ned Kelly memorabilia. (Craig Sillitoe)
Legend of the oval rises By Goya Dmytryshchak Williamstown Football Club’s longest-serving president Trevor Monti is retiring after 17 seasons to spend time pursuing other passions. A board member for 20 years and president for 17, Mr Monti said he wanted to return to some of the many interests he had sacrificed over a long number of years. “A passion that I’ve got is racing my horses, which I breed, which I had to put on hold,” he said. “I can’t get to the races during the football season.
“I’ve got a farm outside Shepparton where I breed the horses and run quite a big enterprise. “I’ve got a beautiful old house there … I love going to the farm and so does my wife, and I can’t get up there during the footy season. “I bought a place at Apollo Bay and can’t get there during the footy season either.” Mr Monti leaves a big legacy, including an $8.7 million redevelopment of the club’s Burbank Oval home ground in 2011. The Ned Kelly historian reveals another legacy close to his heart. “I was the one who established that Ned Kelly actually played 11 games for Williamstown
in 1873,” Mr Monti, a barrister who has represented Kelly family members, said. But one of his fondest memories is defending his dog’s presence at a football match. “A very dear memory I hold is getting my dog into the Port Melbourne football ground when dogs were otherwise banned, and having the pleasure of remaining in the ground with my dog, despite the fact that the president of the Port Melbourne Football Club called two lots of police to have me removed – but unsuccessfully.” Board member Fred Hall is set to become president later this month.
An Altona North company fined $60,000 for supplying banned or unsafe goods, including monkey bikes and car jacks, has ceased operating. Consumer Affairs Victoria launched legal action in the Federal Court to stop Nightingale Electrics selling or supplying unsafe or banned goods, including the miniature motorbikes, car and trolley jacks, aquatic toys, inflatable pools and sunglasses that did not comply with Australian safety standards. The monkey bikes lacked safety features, while the car and trolley jacks did not include warning notices. One of the bikes, the 49cc petrol-powered Pocket Motorbike, had non-conformities with the brakes, footpegs and steering that could cause a rider to lose control at speed. The inflatables and portable pools did not have child safety warnings. The court ordered the company to pay a $60,000 fine and its director, George Anderson, to pay $15,000 in court costs. Consumer Affairs director Simon Cohen said the company had breached product safety provisions of the Australian Consumer Law. “Consumer Affairs Victoria inspectors seized almost 2000 items from Nightingale Electric’s warehouse that failed to comply with product safety standards and ban orders,” he said. “All these products presented a serious risk to people’s safety.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Willy classic back on the market By Goya Dmytryshchak One of Williamstown’s most significant heritage-listed properties is for sale and is expected to fetch about $6.5 million. The house at 89 Esplanade, an Edwardian villa named ‘Berean’, was built in 1911 and is one of three historic buildings in that strip. Compton Green Real Estate managing director Adrian Butera said the house last sold for more than $4.5 million eight years ago, when it was bought by a prominent western suburbs business owner. Mr Butera said prestige and high-end homes in Williamstown usually attracted local buyers. “We seldom see people coming from the other side of the bridge to buy the prestige homes in Williamstown,” he said. “They are usually Williamstown people who have grown in success, grown in wealth, who want to keep climbing that property ladder in Williamstown.” Mr Butera said the home, on one of Williamstown’s biggest blocks at just over 1350 square metres, was being sold by expressions of interest. “I expect it to attract someone who will want to keep it as it is,” he said. “It’s been fully renovated since our current owners purchased the property, so all the hard work’s done. “I imagine it will be an executive home for someone wanting that premier location.” Mr Butera said some of the highlights included a front-facing kitchen, formal lounge and formal dining room that seats up to 16. The house has four bedrooms, a study, a billiard and theatre room, gymnasium, six bathrooms and a double lock-up garage. Inspections start this week. Expressions of interest close at 4pm on May 13.

Unveiling war wounds A new exhibition opening in Footscray tonight lifts the veil on the terrible impact war has on the women it leaves to pick up after the bloodshed. Women Wept – the aftermath, by artists Karenne Anne, Tamara Watt and Heather Horrocks, explores the toll taken on the women left to pick up the pieces when men who went to fight in WWI perished overseas, or returned broken in body and mind. The artists have worked individually and together to delve into family histories to discover how the courage and pain from a century ago still echoes through families today.
METALLIC PAINT CARPET MATS & TANK OF FUEL
The FAIR [Footscray Arts Industry Resources] project included visits by Horrocks to inner-west libraries, knitting socks from original WWI patterns with women as a way to explore family stories. Women Wept was funded under the federal government’s Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program. It opens Wednesday, 6-8pm, at VU at MetroWest, 138 Nicholson Street, Footscray. There will be an artist talk and morning tea 10am-noon Saturday, April 30.

MY PLACE The hustle and bustle of Little Saigon had Madelena Rehorek hooked from the very start and her love for Footscray has only deepened, she tells Benjamin Millar
How did you come to start the Ruffian Gallery? We started Ruffian when we finished university. We were at a bit of a loss as to where we could put our work. We’re interested in documenting socially-aware photography and there wasn’t a space in Melbourne that displays socially-aware photography.
What can you tell us about the Dysturb photojournalism project and the new paste-ups on Cross Street? Dysturb is an international collaboration of photojournalism; it’s about bringing photojournalism to the streets. We want to engage more with the public through photojournalism.We found young people really weren’t engaging with the news. For the Cross Street outdoor exhibition we have selected seven images that represent different social issues. We’ve been surprised at how many people engage with this on things like Instagram. It
makes news stories accessible to a wider range of people. What other local places inspire you? Wrangler Studios in West Footscray have a very similar philosophy to us, but they’re cultivating young bands like The Smith Street Band. It’s a great little home for music and we partner with them. They started a little band room at Ruffian and we’d have live music and exhibition openings all in one. With Ruffian holding its final exhibition, what’s next for you?
I’ll be heading overseas to work with Dysturb and when I’m back in Melbourne I’ll work on more projects with Ruffian. Physically it’s closing, but we have called Cross Street our new exhibition venue. We have a closing party on Friday night and there’ll be four photographers on show. We’ll also have a bunch of maps to send people down to Cross Street. The ‘Heavy Heart’ farewell show opens at Ruffian Gallery, 361 Barkly Street, Footscray at 7pm on Friday. The Dysturb outdoor exhibition can be seen on the former substation on Cross Street, Footscray.

How did you choose Footscray for the gallery? It was the perfect place for it. It’s so diverse and there are a lot of people into the arts. Our philosophy has been to share with other artists and support each other. In terms of the gallery it was a really cheap old property. When we were starting Ruffian, Sarah [Pannell] and I were sitting out the front and we put up a ‘free portrait’ sign. We let anyone in Footscray come in for a free portrait done and people of so many ages and cultures came in.
(Damjan Janevski)
What’s your connection to Footscray? I had a really good friend who took me to Little Saigon Market. I thought it’s great, everyone yelling to each other, it’s very quirky and full of energy. I hadn’t found inner-city Melbourne that fun for a while. A lot of people in the arts are moving west because it is a great environment and it’s cheaper. It had a bad stigma to it but that’s going.

HAMISH NYE
Well suited for descent Williamstown’s Hamish Nye will be abseiling 27 storeys – in his suit – to raise money for children in foster care. Mr Nye hopes to raise $5000 for Anglicare Victoria by taking part in next month’s Altitude Shift event, abseiling down the St James building in Melbourne’s CBD. The father-of-two said he had supported Anglicare for a number of years and is impressed with its services. “They look after most of the foster care kids in the state … it’s a charity that’s not as self-promoting, and it deals with some of the hardest things that any charity has to deal with,” he said. “I’ve got two young kids and the joy of my life is coming home to them.

WANTING JAPANESE WRITERS FOR THE JIMMY KAYE JAPANESE LANGUAGE SCHOLARSHIP L LARSHIP
Wanting Japanese Writers for the Jimmy Kaye Japanese Language Scholarship Hobsons Bay International Friendship Association invites Hobsons Bay secondary school students from year 9 to year 12 to enter a Japanese writing scholarship prize pool of $1,000. The Jimmy Kaye Japanese Language Scholarship was to acknowledge the considerable contribution to the association of this founding member of the Sister City with Anjo, Japan, during the early years. He represented Toyota and worked enthusiastically for the association leading to the strong relationship between the two cities. The topic for the scholarship is “Why I am proud to live in Hobsons Bay”.

The event, for people aged 16+, is capped at 200 places and registration costs $150. Participants raise a minimum of $850 to secure their spot. Details: altitudeshift.org.au Goya Dmytryshchak

Steps to regain strength By Alexandra Laskie

West Welcome in space chase
(Joe Mastroianni)
Tears streamed down Simone Outteridge’s face as the frustration of losing her car keys reduced this once strong, confident and successful woman to hysterical crying. But the breakdown proved pivotal – the realisation she was crying over spilt milk made her see the stranglehold depression had on her life. She decided something needed to change, so the former national account manager for a global pharmaceutical company decided she would pull herself out of her deep depression one small step at a time. “The driven, determined and fun-loving woman I was disappeared and withdrew into a world of darkness,” the West Footscray resident said. “Being forced to get out of bed each day to look after my [then three-year-old] son was the only way that life was still knocking at my door.” Before her breakdown, the young mother had recently witnessed her own mother’s untimely death through cancer. She had quit her job four months earlier so she could juggle nursing her mum and looking after her son, Jake. But the loss of her mother, the pressures of motherhood and wanting to return to work became too much for Ms Outteridge to bear. “Once mum died, everything fell down,” she said. “ There were days of uncontrollable crying and others where I’d feed my son and then go back to bed.” A psychologist helped her understand the grieving process and then she drew on mindset tools she had been studying since she was in her early 20s. “You do have the ability to change your own life and the way you think,” she said.
SIMONE OUTTERIDGE
“It’s so empowering. “That one per cent shift in your thinking makes a huge change,” she said. “If mum was here, she’d say, ‘Stop being ridiculous and get on with it’.” Ms Outteridge now runs her own business, The Liberated Leader, teaching women mindset tools and strategies to positively change their lives. “It’s so easy to fall into depression and
anxiety,” she said. “We always try to live up to certain expectations. Life can get overwhelming for women. But it’s about being connected and self aware.” Now the mother of two young boys, she is determined to help other women struggling with the same battles, travelling across the country “helping women free themselves from negative thoughts that can hold them back”.

A group of volunteers helping asylum seekers in the community is raising funds to help manage a growing stream of donated goods. West Welcome Wagon provides donated essentials such as food, clothing and furniture that have been collected and stored in the homes and sheds of volunteers. Group founder Mia McGregor said the organisation needed a warehouse or some help renting one. “We continue to be in awe at the generosity of the local community but we are in desperate need of a warehouse with an appropriate amount of floor space so we can streamline our collection operations,” she said. “We are seeking generous benefactors who might rent a warehouse to us cheaply, or who might donate funds so we can find an appropriate site ourselves.” Details: www.westwelcomewagon. org.au Benjamin Millar

Neighbours fight ‘cage of rubbish’
Renault CLIO
By Goya Dmytryshchak Altona North residents have launched an online petition in a bid to get VicRoads to remove a gated cage topped with barbed wire they say makes their quiet residential street look like a detention centre. The fence is on one side of Beevers Street, abutting the West Gate Freeway exit to Millers Road. VicRoads owns and manages the road reserve. The residents’ petition says they were “gobsmacked” after VicRoads erected a “tall chain-mesh, barbed-wire gated cage” around the entire site. “The neighbours walk their dogs through this site as it’s very much like a park with landscaped areas and beautiful mature trees, and children sometimes play,” the petition states. “Now it looks like a detention centre and it has deeply impacted the visual amenity of our street and our homes.” Residents also complain about rubbish on the site. “Today they [VicRoads] shut the gate and locked the rubbish inside and dumped the shopping trolleys on to the street,” the petition states. “Creating a cage of rubbish is not the answer.” VicRoads acting regional director Bryan Sherritt said his organisation had met residents to discuss the issue. It is understood VicRoads has agreed to remove two rows of barbed wire from the top of the fence.

“We are aware of concerns about a fence recently around a parcel of VicRoads-owned land in Beevers Street, Altona North,” Mr Sherrit said. “This fence was installed as a safety measure following reports of children playing in illegally dumped rubbish at the site. “This week, we met a group of concerned residents and agreed to a number of modifications to the fence and will continue to work with the local community to address any other issues they may have.”

Every drop has a flush of gold Instead of driving past with the windows up, be impressed with what’s taking place at ‘the poo farm’, writes Alexandra Laskie Before the early 1990s, it was common practice for motorists driving along the Princes Freeway to wind up their windows as they passed Werribee. You could count on a southerly breeze pushing the odours from the Werribee sewage farm northwards up until about 25 years ago when massive covers were installed on top of its main sewage lagoons. Since then, the sewage facility, now called the Western Treatment Plant (WTP), operates like the well-oiled machine it is – just without the smells. It’s been there almost 125 years, having been built when the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works was set up to manage the city’s supply of water and treatment of sewage. Under the guidance of chief engineer William Thwaites, construction of a sewage system began at Werribee in 1892, with a pumping station at Spotswood. Just five years later, the first Melbourne homes had their effluent transported all the way to Werribee with just a single flush. Now the plant serves more than 1.6 million people in the central, northern and western suburbs, and all it takes is 30 to 35 days for raw sewage to be recycled or discharged into Port Phillip Bay. WTP manager Martin Bowles took Star Weekly on a tour to show how a little more than half of Melbourne’s sewage is treated and explain the other uses Melbourne Water has for its 10,500-hectare site at Werribee. It’s a grey, drizzly Melbourne morning as Mr Bowles drives towards the open-cut drain where the city’s raw sewage enters the plant. The drain opens up on the property – which is

equivalent in size to Phillip Island – alongside an “odour control facility” that removes hydrogen sulphide, or rotten egg gas, before the sewage flows along a 17-kilometre drain and then into 10 treatment lagoons. Surprisingly, peering down into the drain wasn’t as visually off-putting as anticipated. The equivalent of 180 Olympic-sized swimming pools full of sewage is pumped to the treatment plant each day. But, as Mr Bowles points out, the contents are 99 per cent liquid … it’s not just human effluent but waste water from washing

machines, dishwashers and kitchen sinks. And it’s already been through giant macerating pumps that break solids down. From there we drive to the main treatment lagoons, or as Mr Bowles calls them, “fart tarps” – ponds covered in high-density polyethylene that suppresses foul smells, halves greenhouse gas emissions and captures methane gases. “The covers starve the contents of oxygen, and bugs eat away at the solids that form on top,” he says. A contract was signed with AGL in 1998 to
harness the gases trapped under the tarp to produce electricity. This now generates almost 95 per cent of power used at the plant. Mr Bowles says works are under way to expand operations so the plant can produce more energy than it needs and begin exporting it back into the grid. “Sewage is now thought of as a resource,” he says. “It will become a source of revenue.” From here we’re driven to the aptly named “milkshake machine”.

door warn of the smell to come. We’re at the “activated sludge treatment plant”, where huge rotating motors aerate the sewage to remove its high nitrogen content into the atmosphere. Without this step, organic nitrogen and ammonia would be deposited into the bay, turning it a sickly shade of green. Occasionally the motors will fall off their shaft, requiring a “poo diver”, as Mr Bowles calls commercial divers, to dive into the sludge and fix the mixer. “Poo-diving, it’s a thing,” he says with a laugh. “There’s zero visibility, but they get suited up.” From here, the sewage flows through 10 lagoons, becoming clearer and cleaner as bacteria breaks down the organic matter in the water making its way either into the bay or to be used to irrigate vegetable crops. At the edge of the property, where the last lagoons run out into Port Phillip Bay, it’s difficult not to be impressed by the variety and sheer number of birds that come here to feed. Mr Bowles says it’s testament to the cleanliness
of the recycled water. “For me, the judge of water quality is the birdlife at the end.” He points to the pelicans, swans, terns and shore-line birds that have gathered in a cacophony of noise at one of the bay outlets. “The birds love the nutrients left in the water. This place has gone from being declared a wildlife sanctuary in the 1930s to a Ramsarlisted site.” (The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance – the Ramsar Convention – was signed in Ramsar, Iran, on February 2, 1971.) It’s considered the second-best bird-watching site in Australia (after Kakadu) and for just $50, and a $50 key deposit, you can purchase a two-year bird-watching permit to go there. Mr Bowles says there’s no shortage of bird-watchers coming to catch a glimpse of some of the world’s rarest birds, including species that migrate from as far away as Siberia. Back at the 10 eight-metre-deep lagoons, Mr Bowles explains that each one has to be dredged every five years. The solids that settle at the bottom are moved to “sludge-drying

pans”, where they are ploughed to remove any liquids then excavated and made into mounds of biowaste, which are currently Mr Bowles’ biggest headache. Recently, Melbourne Water trialled turning this byproduct into bricks, but they lacked the structural integrity to hold their shape. “We have mountains and mountains of biosolids,” he says. “It would be a fantastic fertiliser were it not for all the metal in it.” It’s hoped WTP’s partnership with universities will speed up a solution. Our last stop is the former hub of Cocoroc, an abandoned town built to house MMBW staff and their families in 1894. At its peak, the community numbered 500. Houses were moved or destroyed in the early 1970s, and the four primary schools are now gone, but the old football ground, a town
hall and an empty outdoor swimming pool remain. “Cocoroc, that’s the sound the growling grass frog makes,” Mr Bowles says. The name also means frog in the traditional language of the Wathaurung people, traditional owners of WTP’s land. As we head back to WTP headquarters, Mr Bowles points out rows of healthy-looking corn crops. Six years ago, Melbourne Water signed a 20-year contract with MPH Agriculture, a privately owned agribusiness, to farm 5000 hectares of the property for livestock feed and take up other ventures. Mr Bowles says it costs $20 million to run the plant each year to treat more than 50 per cent of Melbourne’s sewage. To put it into context, it’s the same amount Premier Daniel Andrews spent last year to attract investment and visitors to the state. This year marks the plant’s 125th birthday. And while it might still be called a “poo farm”, this is a milestone Victorians should consider next time they find themselves on the Princes Highway with the windows down.

LEARNING SPACES
THE GIPSON COMMONS \ CENTRAL PRESENTATION ATRIUM
Centre of innovation St Michael’s and design find common ground, writes Liz McLachlan (Ian Davidson)
S
t Michael’s Grammar School has opened an advanced three-level, $20-million learning centre to give its 1300 kindergarten to year 12 students the benefit of the latest educational research and learning design innovation. The Gipson Commons was conceived to enable adaptive and flexible thinking and provide students with structured access to technologies. It includes innovative learning areas for general and specialist science, technology, knowledge resources and food technology with a large multipurpose ground-level cafe and central archives. The largest building project in the leading independent co-educational school’s 121-year history, The Gipson Commons accommodates 400-plus students and substantially expands St Michael’s infrastructure. The school’s board named the centre in recognition of the significant contribution by Simon Gipson and his wife after his appointment as school head in 2000. St Michael’s has been using The Gipson Commons since the start of this school year. Anglican Archbishop of Melbourne Dr Philip Freier will bless and dedicate the centre at its official opening on April 22. The school developed the design of the centre with Architectus from 2008, after it was first proposed by Simon. It is the third project for Architectus at the school and follows the completion of the Community of the Sisters of the Church Learning Centre (the Sisters’ Building) in 2005 and the Allan Pizzey Building in 2008. Developed to promote peer leadership and mentoring, the Sisters’ Building was the school’s first new teaching and learning facility in 40 years. The Allan Pizzey Building integrated the junior school under one roof and received national and international awards from the Council for Educational Planning Facilities International (now the Association for Learning Environments). The Gipson Commons received critical acclaim before it was even finished. The Educator magazine included St Michael’s on its 2015 list of innovative schools on the basis of

the centre’s conception and design. “Libraries of research say children learn at different rates at different times and in different ways and you need to consider this when designing learning spaces,” Simon says.

Beautiful spaces inspire - John Sprunt learning
“I wanted to create spaces for possibilities – enormous possibilities for students to learn, gather and socialise. We wanted this space to present layers of learning so that wherever you looked there would be learning possibilities for all ages in all types of spaces and that is exactly what we have achieved. The building has, in fact, created many more possibilities for our students and teachers than I could have imagined.” The building looks over landscaped gardens, the school’s newly refurbished sports grounds and its St Kilda East neighbourhood to the city. Deep protected balconies on the northern facade are equipped for outdoor learning and the building is protected to the east and west by vertical timber blades, angled to reduce glare and prevent summer sun penetration. A wall

of green vines will climb stainless-steel cables across the building’s south, which faces onto Redan Street. On the ground level, students, staff and parents mingle daily in the large airy cafe and students can prepare restaurant-quality dishes for large numbers in the food technology centre. Next door a multipurpose space for classes and meetings will feature a table built with timbers salvaged from previous school buildings and designed by the school’s 2016 co-captains, Isabella Armstrong and Alex Keser. On levels one and two are the science, technology and knowledge commons, with specialist and general science labs, central atrium, media centre, learning spaces and pods and integrated knowledge resources. Study nooks have been integrated into walls of books and there’s a picture book story-telling corner. The central atrium can seat a whole year level or house group and has a video wall of nine 55-inch LCD panels that can mesh into one image or combinations of images. The learning spaces are equipped with projectors and whiteboard screens with 55-inch LCD panels with Apple TV and HDMI connections in collaboration spaces.
Architectus principal John Sprunt says the idea of The Gipson Commons is that it is versatile and open to the entire school. “We used the example of a Balinese house, where there’s a collection of purposeful structures within a protective wall. Traditionally schools have been classrooms off a corridor and the next stage was opening up into large spaces, but this is the next evolution – purposeful structures linked by interstitial spaces. “Practical science experimentation is on view for everyone to see, which will intrigue and attract other students to science study. We have reimagined science facilities with highly flexible practical areas and break out spaces for quiet study and presentation.” John says students intuitively knew how to use the building from day one. “Beautiful spaces inspire learning,” he says. “This is an innovative and beautiful building that brings science, research and study to the fore in an environment that encourages connection and collaboration.” St Michael’s Grammar School 25 Chapel Street, St Kilda. 8530 3200 stmichaels.vic.edu.au

THE MILL, NEWPORT
THE MILLNEWPORT With such a talented team pulling The Mill project together, it comes as no surprise that sales took off right from the start. The skills mix on show, along with an undeniably attractive location, has proven to be a crowd-pleaser in Newport. Carole Levy reports.
L
THE MILL ook closely at the cabinetry throughout The Mill’s boutique project and you will find a subtle, Narelle Cuthbert-designed signature.
Having the eye of an artist and as Head of Interior Design at Plus Architecture (The Mill project partner), Narelle was keen to, in some way, internally reference The Mill’s gabled façade. She came up with door handles as stylised gables. And they look great – as well as underscore the attention given to detail throughout the one, two and three-bedroom development. Narelle and her team were given a free hand to create interior looks, from selection of materials to colour palettes. They agreed that a choice between two palettes be presented to buyers, one termed ‘light’, the other ‘dark’. And each is planned to allow easy addition of pops of colour in cushions, artwork and Narelle [Cuthbert] furniture from new owners.
A double-door pantry, island bench beneath a Carravaggio pendant, under-cupboard LED lights, soft-close and concealed-pull cabinetry, concealed (wide) fridge space, concealed rangehood, integrated dishwasher and Ariston appliances make the kitchens clean, streamlined spaces. Bathrooms are chic and light-bouncing. Those loverly matt white porcelain tiles line floors and walls, showers are walk-in, and floating vanity units have a pair of basins and mirrored storage above. Storage is well considered in all homes, laundries are either European (but away from bathrooms) or separate, and living zones integrate seamlessly with decks or balconies.
her team were given a free hand to create interior looks
Characteristics of the ‘light” palette are light-honey oak laminate on kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, as well as engineered, wide format timber floorboards in pale oak, white reconstituted stone benches and splashbacks, white matt porcelain wall tiles, warm-white wall paint, and porcelain floor tiles and 100 per cent wool loop-pile carpets in soft taupe.
The ‘dark’ palette takes a turn into soft greys in cabinetry, carpet and floor tiles, and the timber floorboards are in a shade known as roman grey. All else mirrors the ‘light’. Equally at home as entertainment hub or family cook-up space, the kitchens are fitted out with sleek finishes and effortless usability in mind.

SPORT League boss’s wary optimism By Lance Jenkinson Western Region Football League president Bruce Mildenhall used his season launch speech to acknowledge the challenges ahead for his league, but was rather bullish about what lies ahead for football in the west in 2016. At the top of the agenda is a continued push for on-field equalisation, with the three-division format implemented last season going some way to reducing the quality gap between the top and the bottom sides. Round 1’s results in division 2 emphasised that the gulf still exists, with the two losing sides both beaten by more than 150 points. In division 1, Deer Park has recruited strongly again as it takes aim at a fourth consecutive flag. “We know we’ve got our challenges,” Mildenhall said to a packed house at the Yarraville Club on Thursday. “Some of our clubs are struggling and need a helping hand.” But the WRFL has plenty to look forward to this season. There will be no shortage of star power to get football fans flocking to the local footy, with huge names Brendan Fevola, Paul Chapman, Brian Lake, Mark Williams and Shannon Byrnes committing to play in the league. With the WRFL to meet the Ballarat Football League in an inter-league game in May, some of these former AFL champions could pull on the red, white and blue for a representative game. A new club has been added to the senior ranks with Newport Power, a successful junior club, making the leap into senior football in division 3. The player points cap has been implemented in the senior ranks, with a view to gradually levelling the playing field over time. There will also be a greater emphasis on the growth of girls’ football with a restructure of the junior competitions and a new under-eight boys competition will aim to bridge the gap between Auskick and junior football. “There are some pretty significant developments,” Mildenhall said. “It’s a terrific year for us; it’s action-packed.” On a night when the WRFL presented its

senior premiership teams with their flags, Mildenhall was fond in his reflection of the 2015 season. “We saw Wyndhamvale win their first senior premiership and gain promotion to division 1, Albanvale won their first senior premiership in division 3 seniors and Wyndham Suns’ first year in senior football saw them win the division 3 reserves premiership,” he said. “The first full year of three senior divisions resulted in a significant improvement in winning margins. “We won 11 out of a possible 12 matches in the AFL Victoria Junior Metro Championships. “We had some of our stars Wayde Skipper, Kwame McHarg, Jack Purton-Smith, Andrew Panayi and Tim Jenkins all represent Vic Metro against AFL Queensland, along with Brett Jacobs as assistant coach.”
CYs set up serious support Williamstown CYMS will seriously beef up its coaching prowess this season to maximise its competitive advantage. The CYs senior side will be boosted by coaches across all lines, including a bench coach and senior coach Matt Montebello, ensuring no stone is left unturned in their bid to reach Victorian Amateur Football Association’s Premier C finals. “It’s trying to surround the footy club and the boys with as many people as possible,” Montebello told Star Weekly. “We don’t have the resources of a VFL club, but the more people we have with strong footy knowledge to be around this really young side, the more opportunity we can give to these kids. “We’re trying to set them up with some standards and a lot of feedback to help them improve.” CYs has become an attractive destination for footballers keen on going to the next level. The club has close ties with Williamstown Seagulls through its Football Williamstown partnership, and now has four players on the VFL premiers’ list. “You do as much as you can to develop the kids and give them as much opportunity,” Montebello said. “We’ve gone from having no

listed players at Williamstown to four. I don’t think we’ll see Tom Johnstone or Nick Ebinger at all this year, while Ash Heaver and Ben Deller will be with us for the next few weeks. “It’s a great thing to have, knowing we can develop our kids and especially the kids that the [junior pathway] system overlooked. “We’re proud … we’ve been able to give them opportunities in a unique way.” Lance Jenkinson
Mitchell does a double-take to sync Rio Morgan Mitchell is a fiercely proud Melburnian and even prouder to be from the western suburbs. Mitchell won her first 400 metres national title in Melbourne two years ago, so the next best thing was to go to Sydney to take out her second title. “They hate it when the best city is in their territory,” she said with a laugh. “That’s just a bit of cheeky banter. It is good to get a win that is not in your home town.” Mitchell is not one to forget her roots. The 21-year-old spent most of her secondary school years at Williamstown High School and speaks glowingly about Melbourne’s west. “People underestimate the west,” she said. “I’m going to the Olympics – Dante Exum [is] playing in the NBA, and Shanina Shaik is from the west … she’s now a Victoria’s Secret model.”
Mitchell got her start at Werribee Little Athletics Centre, graduating to senior ranks at Western Athletics. Even as national champion, Mitchell will occasionally compete for Western in the Athletics Victoria Shield, just for old time’s sake. “I love the club,” she said. “The club is more like a family, they’re so inclusive. No matter who you are, you’re never going to feel excluded when you’re at that club. “I’m always happy to run for them and do shield events … and run in relays.” Mitchell is more than willing to give back to the Little Athletics community. She often volunteers at training sessions and gives advice to the youngsters of the west. “I genuinely love kids because they know how to have fun, they know how to be happy all the time and they’re just honest,” Mitchell said.
“It’s good seeing kids wanting to participate in sport – that’s the best part. “Some of the kids don’t know you, but they hear the words Commonwealth Games or Olympics and they think you’re Usain Bolt.” One person Mitchell wants to give back to most is her mum, Lois, who raised her three children as a single mother. Mitchell says she will be forever indebted to her mum. She bought Lois a ticket to Rio for the Olympics even before she qualified. “The ticket to Rio is something I worked very hard towards getting that for her. To me that’s still not enough to show how much I appreciate what she’s done for me,” Mitchell said. “After my race, I hugged her and started crying … I’m actually going to Rio and she can watch me.” Lance Jenkinson
Olympics cap dream year
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■I
was star-struck last Sunday at Etihad Stadium when the Bulldogs had organised a ’70s player reunion in the past players room I host. Laurie Sandilands came down from the Gold Coast to be there with the other players. I did not see a lot of the Doggies in the ’70s as I was in Brisbane – we got one game of VFL a week and the Bulldogs were not top of the heap. I reckon I saw a game a year, if that. Mind you, I knew about Sandilands, Dempsey, Whitten, Morrison, Power, Abbey and the rest, as did the football world at the time. The Dogs played finals in ’74 and ’76 but they were only highlights of that decade. It was great to hear from Laurie Sandilands, Max O’Halloran and Ian Morrison about their thoughts on their days with the Bulldogs. President Peter Gordon also shared his memories of that era and his hopes for the future. What a game was then played out. If the Bulldogs are three points off the team that has won the past three premierships, then I am a happy camper. Having said that, I am bitterly disappointed we did not win.
■ Sharyn
Grima and Mick Psaila were awarded life memberships to the Western Region Football League last weekend, deservedly so. Mick said the major reason he came to the league in the mid-’80s was to meet Robert McGhie, who was the senior coach of St Albans. When he got to the Saints, he met “Bones”. They gave him a few party pies and a beer or two, and he was in – and still is. Sharyn, like Mick, has played a number of different roles at the club, which has become an important part of her family. This is what local footy is about. If we ever lose this kind of loyalty and passion, the game at grass-roots level will die. We must see some of the money that is in football filter down for the survival of clubs – not for the players, but for the clubs. After all, every AFL player has to start somewhere.
■ The
By Lance Jenkinson Morgan Mitchell’s unimaginable summer of dominance is complete with her ticket booked to the Rio Olympics. Mitchell was in a class of her own this season, going unbeaten in the women’s 400 metres and taking out the national title for a second time. The Western Athletics member had a perfect 12 wins from 12 races to be the undisputed queen of the 400 metres sprint in this country. The 21-year-old ticked all the boxes, setting new personal best times, Olympic qualifying times, taking out a national title and the piece de resistance, a place in the Australian Olympic team. “It’s been a very long season but to get everything we wanted done is a pretty surreal feeling,” Mitchell told Star Weekly. “We wanted PBs, Olympic qualifiers and to win nationals and I managed to end the season undefeated, so I’m pretty happy. “I sat down with my coach and I said win, lose or draw, as long as I’m learning from every race, that’s all I can really ask for.
“Then when I won my fifth or sixth race in Canberra and the Vic Champs the week after, we realised we’d come this far and hadn’t actually lost, so we set ourselves a little goal of trying to get through the season undefeated.” Mitchell left the rest of the competitors in her wake to take out the national 400 metres final in a time of 51.84 seconds in Sydney this month. The Werribee resident thrived on the big stage and felt no added pressure, even with her unbeaten record and Olympic spot at stake. “This year I haven’t felt any pressure at all,” she said. “It’s the Olympic year, let’s just set goals and see if we can achieve them.” Mitchell’s Olympic dream was born in 2012, when she had to decide between netball and athletics. It was an agonising choice at the time, with her selection in the Australian under-19 netball team coinciding with the World Junior Athletics Championships. “I went to the netball nationals that year; we got the win and I made the Aussie squad,” she said. “Then I also went to the athletics
nationals and won there, and made the Aussie team for the 400 metres at world juniors in Spain. I realised I missed athletics too much and I really wanted to give it my all to make this team. “I told my coach, look, I’d like to come back to athletics. “I just want to go to Rio, it looks exciting, a pretty inviting place. “It’s really quite incredible to think four years on that I’ve punched my ticket to Rio.” Mitchell’s season was predicated on a revamped training regime under new coach Peter Fitzgerald. She has also improved her in-race tactical nous under Fitzgerald’s watch. “Every race that came, my coach would just sit me down and go ‘look, you’ve worked hard enough for this’,” Mitchell said. “We’d see who was in the lane beside me and then we’d try to use race tactics against their strengths and then I’d pull it off. “I trusted the hard work we had put in and it really all came down to that. “I felt a lot fitter than I have ever been.”

three western suburbs VFL sides enjoyed good starts to their seasons, with Werribee, Footscray and Williamstown all winning at the weekend. The VFL competition is in an interesting phase, with a mix of AFL reserves, VFL-AFL alignments and stand-alone VFL clubs. No one knows what the future holds for the competition, something that is being researched and discussed at the highest level. The standard of the football at both senior and development levels has never been higher. I suggest you go to a game and see for yourself.

City West Falcons have failed in their payback mission. The Falcons went down 58-53 in the grand final rematch with Boroondara Express in the Victorian Netball League championship division season opener at the State Netball and Hockey Centre. Falcons coach Marg Lind was unhappy with some decisions that went against her side at crucial moments and helped lead to a repeat of the defeat in last year’s season decider. “There was a small patch in the game where I thought we got a couple of really bad calls and they got a five or six-goal advantage,” she said. “We pretty much chased that for most of the game and with two minutes to go we got it down to two goals and we had a decision against us again. “In saying that, we’ve still got a bit of work to do as a team.” More specifically, City West needs to find a way to limit opposition scoring. Last season, the Falcons defenders were at their stingy best, conceding a mere 41.33 goals per game, the second best in the competition. The defensive end has undergone a total makeover this season, so there are bound to be teething problems. The Falcons were also without promising young defender Jacqui Newton, who injured an ankle in the off season. “We’ve lost our entire defence end,” Lind said. “There are new players in three positions. That’s presented some challenges … we’ve got to fast track them and make the best of a tough situation.” With Newton on the sidelines, the Falcons sent out Maddy Balson, Steph Swann and Victoria Honner. Balson, recruited from Boroondara, has been training with the Victoria Fury so will take time to familiarise herself with the Falcons’ game plans. Swann has not played top-level VNL for nearly five years and is better for the run, while Honner is raw, having come up from the division 1 team. Despite having to rebuild on the fly, Lind is excited about her team’s potential.

“It’s certainly not time to panic,” she said. “We lost to a team that beat us in the grand final last year. “The game was in our grasp, we’ve got an entirely new defence end and a new goaling entity in Jane Cook. “As a club, we knew we had to rebuild at some point. It’s just a shame it’s the whole defensive end. It would’ve been easier if it was one goaler, one mid-court and one defender.” The Falcons will return to the SNHC on April 20 to face ACU Sovereigns.
Big takeoff, ugly landing The Western Jets went into last week’s bye having already experienced the highs and lows of TAC Cup football. In the first round, the Jets were sublime, shaking off injury concerns to produce a stunning come-from-behind win against the Oakleigh Chargers. Seven days later, the Jets were put to the sword by a hot Eastern Ranges outfit that booted 12 of its 16 goals in the second half. Jets coach Torin Baker said his side needed to close the gap between its best and its worst in order to compete week in, week out. “We were really pleased with our performance in round one,” he said. “We played exactly the style of football we wanted. “That was what was so disappointing about round two – our kicking and our ball use, it just didn’t reach the same level. It was very disappointing, given the standard we had set the week before.” While it is only early in the season, the Jets have already had a number of players throwing themselves into the draft calculation spotlight. Key defender Brodie Romensky has been named among the club’s best players in both of the Jets’ matches. Also impressing Baker have been Cameron Rayner and Jordyn Cotter. “Brodie has been fantastic,” Baker said. “We are really pleased with the way he’s going. He has had a couple of jobs on key forwards,

especially the first week. Then his ability to rebound for us has been excellent. “Cameron has had two really good games as a bottom-age player. That has been really pleasing, to see him working hard and getting the rewards. “Jordyn Cotter is another one who’s in good form as well. He has had two really solid games. “We think there’s a fair bit of upside there with all those boys.” The Jets will have the chance to get back to winning ways this week when they take on the Sandringham Dragons. Across the next three weeks, they will be strengthened by a number of players expected to return from injury. Liam Twomey

Coach the stand-in hero in Greens’ valiant draw A courageous Maribyrnong Greens picked up a point against the odds in a 1-1 draw with Truganina Hornets in FFV men’s state league 4 west at Skinner Reserve on Saturday. The Greens, minus 10 first-team regulars, were so desperately undermanned that coach Omar Makki had to pull on the boots. And his decision to play was a master stroke, as he not only filled a void in defence but stepped up to score the equalising goal in the 93rd minute. Makki’s shot from a free kick slammed into the defensive wall, but when the ball rebounded to him he sent it into the top corner. “I wasn’t supposed to play,” Makki told Star Weekly. “I’m still injured and I’m having a scan on my back. I’ve had the injury for two years, but numbers-wise, I had to throw myself in. “I have eight injuries in my senior squad and two others who couldn’t make it, so I’m very pleased with the result considering.”
With so many reserves players stepping up, it was a great chance for Makki to see the potential of some of the club’s youngsters. He liked what he saw and believes they will put pressure on the first team starters in the near future. “From the beginning, I’ve said that none of the senior players are guaranteed their positions,” Makki said. “A lot of the ressies have been stepping up and a few could make their mark this year.” Elvir Hasanbegovic was the heartbeat of the side on Saturday, the captain and central midfielder asserting his authority over the game from the outset. “He was always going up for a ball, always challenging,” Makki said. “He picks up a yellow card every now and then because he goes in so hard, but I don’t mind that because I know he goes for the ball. He’s not dirty and never goes for a player.”
Striker Francis Ho continued his strong early form at his new club and is fast becoming a favourite of his coach and teammates. “He never gives up,” Makki said. “If he loses the ball, he will chase it. If anyone else loses the ball, he’s the first one to try to chase it down.” The Greens will hit the road for the first time this season on Saturday, making the short trip to Altona North. Meanwhile, Greens goalkeeper Semir Ekic showed he can do more than stop shots. With the Greens low on players, Ekic helped out the reserves . . . as a striker. And he had a day out, with four goals in an entertaining 5-4 win over Truganina. “All this year, he’s been saying he wanted to play striker,” Makki said. “He ended up with four goals and, of course, had to tell me about every one afterwards.” Lance Jenkinson

Glory resets its sights By Lance Jenkinson Yarraville Glory has reluctantly had to recalibrate its mindset after moving up to FFV’s top flight this season. Glory, so used to challenging for promotions, may have to put those lofty ambitions on hold for a year as they strive to find their feet in the intimidating state league 1 competition. The lowering of the bar is not something the players want to hear about, but Glory coach Charlie Egan told Star Weekly his side was not realistically equipped to challenge for the league title in year one, particularly with gun strikers Darcey Den Ouden (foot injury) and Goran Jozeljic (suspension) missing the early part of the season. “The job description changes this year,” Egan said. “The club will be delighted to stay in this league, so all of a sudden our expectations change. “Last year we had to get promoted, which is difficult because you’ve got to go out and beat teams. Now, you pick up a point here and a point there, jag a victory here and there.
“Two of the hardest things are to change the mindset of the players and not be too disappointed at losing games. “You have to realise what your resources are and where you belong. Our realistic expectation is survival and middle of the ladder.” What makes selling the concept all the harder for Egan is when Yarraville defies the odds and produces a stirring victory, as it did in a 1-0 triumph over North Sunshine Eagles at McIvor Reserve on Saturday. The undermanned Glory came up with a winning goal through Tony Themistokleous 15 minutes into the second half. It was a morale-boosting win for the Glory, who suffered a 3-0 loss to Keilor Park in the season opener a week earlier. “North Sunshine is a good football team,” Egan said after the match. “Last year, they were challenging to win it until the last day. “We really need to put in the effort we put in today in every game. We can’t afford any passengers and we didn’t today. “Everybody rolled up their sleeves and worked hard and we got what we deserved.”
Glory will resist the temptation to sign attacking reinforcements in the absences of Den Ouden and Jozeljic. Den Ouden (16 goals) and Jozeljic (10) were two of the keys to last season’s promotion and were the most potent strike combination in state league 2. “It would be unfair for me to sign a striker knowing full well that when these two guys come back then you’re pretty much off the pitch,” Egan said. “It’s not the right thing to do.” The Glory will be at home for a third straight game on Saturday when they entertain Diamond Valley United, who went down 5-0 to Altona Magic on Saturday, thanks to a Jon McShane hat-trick. Altona East Phoenix lost 3-0 away to Western Suburbs on Sunday. Elsewhere, Altona City was no match for a rampaging Corio in state league 2, losing 3-1 at Hume Reserve. FC Williamstown scored two late goals in a 2-2 draw with Melbourne University in state league 3, but Melbourne City went down 2-0 to Lalor United.
The winning feeling is back for the Altona Gators in Big V men’s division 2 basketball. The Gators went through last season without registering a victory yet have started the new season with promise – two wins from three starts. They made it back-to-back victories on Sunday, beating North East Bushrangers 88-75 on their home court at the Altona Sports Centre. Their only loss came in round one against the red hot Western Port Steelers, who remain undefeated at the top of the ladder. Altona made a fast start against the Bushrangers, taking a 10-point lead into quarter-time. The gap was maintained for the remaining three quarters before the Gators settled on a 13-point win. Gators coach Des Radoslovic was happy to mix his line-ups around, giving double-digit minutes to eight individuals. One constant was Justin Eckhardt, who played 34 minutes and recorded a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds. Joey Mausar was deadly from long range, hitting five three-pointers en route to 18 points. The long ball was on target across the board for the Gators, who connected on 15 threes at 33 per cent. Patrick Green (13 points and seven rebounds), Rasmus Wurr (10 points and four assists) and Tyson Burton (12 points and eight rebounds) were the other stand-outs for the Gators. Fourth-placed Altona will travel to Pakenham (2-1) on Saturday night for a mouth-watering clash between two in-form sides. In women’s division 2, Altona Gators went back and forth in an arm wrestle with the Keysborough Cougars before losing 77-70 in a nail-biter at the Altona Sports Centre. Alysha Carden-David (23 points and nine rebounds) and Nadine Collins (15 points and 11 rebounds) led the Gators, but to no avail in the end. Meanwhile, Tom Georgiadis stuffed the stat sheet for the Gators’ youth league men’s team, finishing with 33 points, eight rebounds, four assists, five steals and two threes. The young Gators recorded a 101-72 victory over Pakenham. Lance Jenkinson

Williamstown began its VFL premiership defence with a runaway 45-point win over Richmond at Burbank Oval on Sunday. The Seagulls went into the main break staring at a three-point deficit, but re-emerged to run rampant in the second half, piling on 10 goals to three for their first win of the season. “As the game went on, we were able to dictate terms a bit more and it was really pleasing to run over the top of them,” Seagulls’ football manager Chris Dixon told Star Weekly. With one of the deepest lists in the competition last season, some of the Seagulls were presented with an extra workload. In the midfield, Willie Wheeler and Michael Gibbons were happy to oblige. Wheeler started the season like a house on fire, with 25 touches and two goals, while Gibbons worked hard both ways, with 23 possessions and seven tackles. With Richmond boasting star ruckman Ivan
Maric, the Gulls’ Nick Meese and Ayce Cordy had a huge responsibility. The pair broke even – a win under the circumstances. And there seems to be no stopping Seagulls goalsneak Anthony Anastasio. The livewire lit up Morris Street with four goals, one in each quarter. “He was best-on,” Dixon said. The Seagulls meet Box Hill Hawks at home on Sunday on a day when they will unfurl their senior and development league premiership flags from last season. “We’ve got both teams playing next week, so we saved it for that,” Dixon said. Meanwhile, Footscray had a comfortable 49-point win over the Northern Blues at the Whitten Oval on Sunday. Footscray faces Richmond in the second round at Punt Road Oval on Saturday at noon.

Vikings look on the bright side By Lance Jenkinson Altona’s inability to convert in front of goal during a wasteful third quarter proved its downfall in a 17-point loss to Werribee Districts on Saturday. The Vikings matched it with last year’s runner-up in the WRFL division 1 opening round at Grant Reserve on Saturday but could not stem the tide against the highly fancied visitors in a five-goal-to-zip third term. Vikings midfielder Josh Russo said Altona came up short despite battling all the way. “They took their chances and we didn’t,” he said. Altona will have two weeks to stew over the result, having the bye in the second round. But the Vikings will also get a chance to discuss the positives to come out of the game. “If you just look it as a negative that you lost, it’s going to be a long season,” Russo said. “If you can build on what was working and what was good about the game, you only hope to improve in the coming weeks.” It was Saade Ghazi’s first game in charge as senior Vikings coach. Ghazi, a JJ Liston Trophy winner at Williamstown in the VFL, replaced Russo, who was the club’s player-coach last year. The benefits of having a sideline coach were clear for Russo, who enjoyed the chance to wind back his own responsibilities and simply focus on playing. “It’s good to have fresh views and someone going about it a different way,” Russo said.
“I felt rotations were crisp [and] there was a bit more feedback coming from the runner, which is a directive of the coach. “It allows players to play and coaches to coach, and for me it’s a good opportunity to focus on footy again. “You’re around a bunch of mates that will go to war for you, so it was good to be amongst it as a player and allowing someone else the stresses of being the coach on game day.” Playing assistant coach Jayden Post snared three goals for the Vikings. Post copped a big knock early but battled back to be one of most influential players. Jordan Robbins and Lee Spiteri made bright starts to the new season, feeding off some tidy ruck work from Josh Rafferty. Tim Andrews was rock solid down back. Meanwhile, Spotswood will face St Albans on the road at Kings Park Reserve in a tough season opener on Saturday. The Woodsmen drew the short straw with a bye in round one. In division 2, Yarraville-Seddon cruised to a 186-point win over West Footscray with Dean McDonald and Lachie Longmire booting five goals each. North Footscray dominated after half-time to beat Glen Orden by 66 points. In division 3, Newport Power played its first game of senior football, going down to Tarneit in a thriller by 11 points. Laverton came up short by 22 points against Sanctuary Lakes and Parkside demolished Braybrook by 121 points.

Sports shorts Women’s football
VU Western Spurs put up a gallant fight against a powerful Eastern Devils in the Women’s VFL at Mulgrave Reserve on Sunday but went down by 24 points in Ashleigh Guest’s 100th game. The top players for the Spurs were Bree White, Caroline Hardeman and, on her milestone day, Guest, who capped a strong performance with a goal. The Spurs will host St Kilda at Henry Turner Reserve on Sunday with both teams holding a 1-1 record.
By Lance Jenkinson Western Bulldogs vice-president Susan Alberti says the club will make a strong case to the AFL commission for inclusion in the new eight-team AFL women’s national league competition. “It would surprise no one … that I am pushing strongly at my own club to have a team based at the Whitten Oval and wearing the mighty red, white and blue,” she said. “I have no doubt, in 2017, the national competition will be a success, with media companies broadcasting the game and spectators flocking to venues and inspiring the next generation of young female footballers, who will finally have a national elite league to compete in.” The Bulldogs played an active role in the promotion of women in football long before the national women’s competition became reality. The club has built a membership that is more than 50 per cent female. It currently has three female directors, down from four last season after the retirement of Gaye Hamilton. “That’s more than any other club in the AFL,” Alberti said. The Bulldogs and Melbourne Football Club have staged women’s exhibition matches at the MCG and Etihad Stadium for the past three years. The club also supports the Victorian Women’s Football League with a development academy at Whitten Oval. Alberti, 68, has been a lifelong Bulldogs’ fan, part of the club’s cheer squad as a junior. “I guess I’m one of the only directors in the AFL who has come from the cheer squad,” she said with a chuckle. “To see this evolution of women’s football, I can’t tell you how happy and how proud I am for the women involved in AFL, and also for the men, too, for supporting this.”
