Take a jump into winter

(Joe Mastroianni)

Winter is coming and Tom Wasiek can’t wait. The personal trainer is hosting The Winter Dip, a public event at which people will jump into the sea at Altona beach. “I’m a trainer, but this is non-profit,” he said. “I just want to promote a healthy lifestyle for the local community and want people to come out. “The Winter Dip started last year and I want to keep growing it. I’d love the locals to come out and get involved. There’s a lot of health benefits,” he said. “It’s proven to boost your white blood cells, your immune system, your testosterone level. It’s good for your skin. The water is probably sitting at about 15 degrees now; it drops down to maybe 12.” Mr Wasiek plans to make The Winter Dip a weekly event, with the first immersion scheduled for June 8 at 5pm. Meet at the start of Altona Pier. Goya Dmytryshchak

Users flee cameras’ gaze By Benjamin Millar CCTV cameras installed in 2011 have failed to reduce the sale or use of injecting drugs on Footscray streets, research has found. The study by the Burnet Institute, based on a study of more than 680 injecting drug users, found the main effect of the cameras was to shift injecting heroin and “ice” use from public toilets on to streets farther from the cameras. But Victoria Police and Maribyrnong council say the cameras – installed in 16 locations in Nicholson, Paisley and Leeds Streets at a cost of $1.1 million and live-streamed to monitors at Footscray police station – have provided a major boost in the perception of public safety

and the ability of police to tackle violent crime such as robbery and assault. Institute researcher and study author Nick Scott told Star Weekly the five-year study showed cameras had failed to shift injecting drug use from public spaces. “It’s a complex issue, but it shows the cameras do little in terms of disrupting the drug market and fixing drug use issues.” Dr Scott said supervised injecting rooms have been shown to be more successful at moving drug use off the streets, providing help to drug users and preventing the spread of disease. The CCTV system was jointly funded by Maribyrnong council ($650,000) and the state government ($440,000). Council

community services director Clem Gillings said the council worked with local drug and alcohol services and police to minimise harm to the wider community and drug users. “CCTV is one component of the package of community safety initiatives … along with positive activation of public spaces, police operations and presence, crime prevention through environmental design, service responses for drug users and syringe cleanups,” Ms Gillings said. The council is developing a CCTV policy and new alcohol and drug strategy. Footscray police’s Acting Inspector Jason Templar said the cameras were never introduced to deal solely with the drug trade.

“The initial reason was around improving community safety and they [the cameras] have been incredibly valuable.” He said police had a number of strategies to reduce drug activity in central Footscray, including foot patrols and regular “street sweeps”, but the location of a number of health support services meant the area remained a magnet as a “one-stop-shop” for injecting drug users. Acting Inspector Templar said perceptions of public safety had improved dramatically since CCTV was introduced and police were having greater success in tackling public drinking, identifying offenders and making rapid responses when crimes occurred.

Roadside killer had long history of violence

Helen Bertocci leaves the Melbourne Supreme Court with her family and supporters. (Jason South)

The man who murdered Altona North Good Samaritan Roger Bertocci had a violent criminal history dating back to when he was 14, a court has heard. Jonathon Sporton, 22, was jailed for 21 years in the Supreme Court last week after pleading guilty to the killing and will spend at least 17 years behind bars. Bertocci, 46, was stabbed four times in broad daylight at a busy Altona North intersection in December 2014 after pulling over to help Sporton’s pregnant girlfriend in Blackshaws Road when he saw Sporton attacking her. Sporton produced a large knife and chased Mr Bertocci more than 70 metres before

stabbing him in the back and three times in the chest and abdomen. Mr Bertocci, the father of two young girls, died at the scene. Justice Beale outlined Sporton’s extensive criminal history from the age of 14, telling the court he had multiple convictions for recklessly causing serious injury, unlawful assaults, armed robbery and weapons offences. He said it was significant that four months before Mr Bertocci was killed, Sporton had been sentenced to 11 months’ jail, wholly suspended for two years, for violence offences. Mr Bertocci’s wife, Helen, said outside

court that she found little joy in the sentence. “Nothing brings Roger back,” she said. “I think the sentencing allows us to breathe that little bit easier, but it’s not over; it’s never over.” Mrs Bertocci said Sporton’s extensive criminal history showed that “therapeutic case management” was not working. “We’ve got to get back to the basic and strong case management of offenders, especially young offenders,” she said. “We all hold Roger very high up on a pedestal and he [committed] an act of bravery and [was] a true gentleman and a great person.” Goya Dmytryshchak, with The Age

Yelling stops abduction bid

FRAG members Heather and Bill Horrocks and Elwyn Davies hold fears the wharf will be demolished by Parks Vic rather than repaired. (Damjan Janevski)

Fight to save river wharf Campaigners are stepping up the fight to save an iconic wharf on the Maribyrnong River. Henderson House Landing, behind the Footscray Community Arts Centre, has been closed to all vessel and pedestrian traffic since February following the partial collapse of the wharf due to deterioration of the piles and supporting beams. Fencing has been erected to keep the public at bay while Parks Victoria assesses the extent of the damage and investigates whether the wharf will be repaired or demolished.

The Footscray Riverside Action Group (FRAG) fears the cost of repairs will mean that cash-strapped Parks Victoria will demolish the wharf as the cheaper alternative. Secretary Bill Horrocks, a former Maribyrnong mayor, said the wharf was a key site directly in front of the heritage-listed Henderson House, built in 1872. “It’s in a historic precinct,” he said. “We would be concerned if this high-profile site could not remain and be repaired,” he said. “It’s important historically,.” Mr Horrocks said that if the repair bill could not be met from Parks Victoria the state government should step in.

A Parks Victoria spokesman said an alternative temporary floating landing had been installed immediately upstream of Henderson’s House Landing. “Parks Victoria … is awaiting recommendations to determine the options for reinstating Henderson House Landing,” he said. “[The] preference is to repair or rebuild the structure pending available funding.” A Maribyrnong council spokeswoman referred questions to Parks Victoria.

A man has reportedly tried to abduct a girl off the street near Laverton P-12 College. Police have been told a 12-year-old girl was walking in Bladin Street about 9.50am on Tuesday last week when a man emerged from bushes and tried to drag her away. The girl told police an elderly woman yelled out and the man ran away. The girl, who was not physically injured, went home and reported the incident to police. Detectives from the Hobsons Bay crime investigation unit have put out a public appeal for the woman to contact police. Investigators have released a digital composite of a man they want to speak to. He’s described as Caucasian, aged 30 to 40, with a beard and right eyebrow ring. He was wearing baggy blue jeans, a black hoodie, black and orange baseball cap and dark sunglasses.

Uni pulls weight in jobs, growth By Benjamin Millar

of the university, not just its spending,” he said. “We also accounted for how much VU increases the knowledge base of the economy.” The Economic Effects of Victoria University on Western Melbourne report was released at a dinner on May 21 to celebrate the 100th anniversary since the founding of VU’s inaugural institute, Footscray Technical School. Professor Madden said the study, conducted as part of VU’s centenary celebrations, was the first time the university’s wider economic impact in the area had been measured. Modelling considered how many of the university’s students were drawn to live in the

Melbourne’s only university in the west contributes more than $600 million a year to the local economy and supports more than 4000 local jobs, new research shows. Economic modelling by VU’s Centre of Policy Studies shows the university’s activities contributed $630 million to the region’s output in 2013 and boosted employment by 4400 jobs. Report author Professor John Madden said the modelling explored the positive impact on the western suburbs’ economy of having a university in their midst. “We were looking at all the economic effects

west and how many remained living in the area once they graduated. “Those additional students that VU attracts to western Melbourne, particularly the international students, add $139 million to local spending. Some $70 million of that goes directly into local wages and profits.” Modelling was based on figures showing about 113,000 students obtained degrees or vocational qualifications from VU’s western Melbourne campuses in the 20 years to 2013. Professor Madden said about 60,000 of these VU qualification holders were residents of the west in 2013, and more than 26,000 were estimated to be employed in the region.

He said about 10,000 graduates would have been working elsewhere in Melbourne if they hadn’t studied locally at a VU western Melbourne campus. Modelling showed a $69 million increase in labour productivity from graduates who remained working in the west and an $11 million boost to productivity by local industries due to VU research. About half of the $630 million annual boost measured in 2013 was accounted for by VU’s direct expenditure, particularly on wages. A further $183 million was added indirectly by impacts such as attracting new businesses or prompting existing ones to expand activities.

Playground on the street said the council was committed to providing new open spaces for the community to enjoy. “However, due to the nature of being an inner-city area, major roads and rail lines can act as barriers to people being able to access open space and enjoy the benefits of having a park close by,” he said. “Increased pressure on open space in our city means we need to continue to think about parks and urban spaces in creative ways.”

Surplus space in the middle of a suburban street has been rebadged as Footscray’s newest park. A $300,000 transformation of a central median strip in Cowper Street to a new play space and picnic area is now a community focal point for the neighbourhood. The fenced-in space contains a variety of play equipment, as well as tree and garden plantings to integrate with the surrounding streetscape. Community feedback prior to construction revealed mixed views, although most were in favour. Those backing the park suggested it would make the area more liveable for families. Objectors argued it would reduce the visual appeal of Cowper Street, encourage loitering and be unsafe for park users because it was in the middle of the road. Maribyrnong mayor Cameron McDonald

Low flyovers a ‘real’ test By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong residents need not be alarmed by army helicopters flying low over their homes. Military helicopters were last week sighted over Williamstown, Newport, South Kingsville and Laverton as part of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) counter-terrorism training. The training, which is an annual event, tests the skills of army personnel in responding to simulated terrorist scenarios around critical infrastructure. Training exercises were held day and night and involved specialist army vehicles. The helicopters operated out of the Point Cook RAAF base. Some residents took to social media after seeing army helicopters doing high-speed flights close to rooftops in residential areas. A Defence spokesman said members of the public shouldn’t be alarmed. “The training activity is designed to provide a realistic test of ADF skills and to ensure the ADF maintains the highest level of capability to respond, where required, to support Australia’s national interests,” the spokesman said. “Due to security considerations, Defence will not be releasing further details regarding the training. “If the public observes or hears such activities, they should not be alarmed. “Defence acknowledges that such activities may result in disturbance to local residents. “However, wherever possible, the ADF seeks to minimise this disruption.”

Stolen car downs power Police are hunting the driver of a stolen car that downed a power pole in Melbourne’s west, cutting power to more than 2000 homes and businesses on Saturday. The black Holden coupe slammed into a pole at the corner of Maher Road and Heffernan Street, Laverton, shortly after midday. Leading Senior Constable Paul Turner said the car had been travelling west in Maher Road when it appeared the driver lost control and hit the pole, snapping it off at its base. “The car then continued through the front fence of a home on Maher Road and came to rest against the boundary fence of that property and a neighbouring property,” he said. “The driver fled on foot prior to police arriving.” No injuries were reported, but firefighters remained at the scene for more than an hour due to public safety concerns because of live wires.

Ice addict jailed over home raid By Benjamin Millar An ice addict who originally avoided jail despite pointing a gun at a child during a terrifying home invasion in Maribyrnong has been sentenced to four years’ jail following an appeal by the public prosecutions office. Deren Salih and an unknown co-offender smashed their way into a Ferguson Street house in April 2009 and pointed a gun at a boy as they made a mother and her three young sons lie on the floor while they ransacked the home. They stole $6000 cash, a mobile phone,

electronic goods and jewellery. Salih was arrested eight days later over a separate incident and charged with setting up a cannabis crop and a methylamphetamine laboratory at his parents’ farm. He was convicted in September 2011 of a third crime involving burglary, theft and going equipped to steal. Salih was not arrested over the Maribyrnong home invasion until March 2013, after his DNA was found to match blood left at the crime scene. He was convicted in the County Court in October 2015 on one charge of aggravated

burglary and four of false imprisonment. A plea submitted on his behalf argued he was heavily addicted to ‘ice’ at the time and had no recollection of the incident. Salih was sentenced in December by judge Liz Gaynor to a five-year community correction order requiring he complete 500 hours’ unpaid community work in addition to supervision, assessment and treatment for drug abuse. However, the Director of Public Prosecutions appealed the sentence on the grounds it was “manifestly inadequate” and failed to sufficiently consider the gravity of the

offence or its impact on the victims. Justice Paul Coghlan, of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria, noted Salih had made positive steps in his rehabilitation from ice addiction, but the sentence imposed by Judge Gaynor was inadequate. “This was a particularly callous and serious example of the offences,” he said. “With respect, her honour gave too much weight to delay and rehabilitation and insufficient weight to the gravity of the offending.” Salih was jailed for four years with a non-parole period of two years.

Three held on witness charge A senior member of the Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang is in custody, along with his fiancee and brother, all accused of trying to intimidate a witness in a criminal case. Shane Middleton, 26, who is alleged to be the Mongols’ sergeant-at-arms, and Renee Comeadow, 27, were arrested at their Seabrook home last Thursday morning during a raid in which police seized ammunition, firearm components, drugs and 3D printers. Mr Middleton’s brother, Simon, 29, was also arrested at his Oakleigh South home on Thursday morning when an allegedly stolen

motorcycle was seized. The Middleton brothers and Ms Comeadow were later charged with various offences, facing Melbourne Magistrates Court last Thursday. All were charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and remanded in custody. Police allege they tried to intimidate and pressure a prosecution witness in a criminal case to withdraw his statement. Shane Middleton is also charged with possessing a Taser, possessing cocaine and committing an offence while on bail. His brother is charged with theft, receiving

stolen goods and dealing with the suspected proceeds of crime. Ms Comeadow is also charged with committing an offence while on bail. She applied again for bail on Thursday, telling the court she was desperate to be back with the couple’s young daughter. Police told magistrate Peter Dunn they were concerned Ms Comeadow would contact prosecution witnesses and offend if released from custody, and he refused her application. Ms Comeadow cried when her bail was refused. Shane Middleton, renowned for his striking

facial tattoos, did not apply for bail. He and his fiancee are due to return to court in September. Mr Middleton was shot in the leg in November, but it is unclear by whom. He was driven to Sunshine Hospital by Ms Comeadow. Simon Middleton was yesterday granted bail to appear in court at a later date. During Thursday’s raids at Seabrook and Oakleigh South, police also seized an imitation firearm, along with steroids and a white powder believed to be cocaine. – The Age

Hoopla over bike parks Hobsons Bay council has been forced to install bike-parking hoops at Seaholme railway station because the state government is not keeping up with demand. Cr Sandra Wilson said the council had requested more bike-parking facilities but was told by Public Transport Victoria (PTV) there was not enough funding. “All our train stations need more bike-parking options,” she said. “Facilities such as Parkiteer cages would be the ideal option but we have been advised by PTV there is no funding. “Seaholme station had no bike parking and hoops are the best we can offer at this time.” Five hoops have recently been installed by the council at Seaholme. Cr Wilson said there was also a shortage at Altona station, where more than 20 people are on a waiting list for bike lockers, of which there are eight.

“I reported chewing gum in one of the locks about six months ago and I was told it would be cleaned,” Cr Wilson said. “If there is chewing gum in the lock it means no one is using it. The chewing gum is still there. That’s one locker at least that could be better used.” Bob Neilson, a spokesman for Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan, said more Parkiteer cages would be rolled out but could offer no guarantees for Seaholme or Altona. “We’re adding new Parkiteer cages across the network and will continue to assess demand at Seaholme and Altona stations,” he said. Meanwhile, Protective Services Officers were deployed to Seaholme station on Tuesday and will patrol from 6pm to the last train daily. Goya Dmytryshchak Cyclists Tiffany Westphal and Diana Rice make use of the Seaholme bike hoops. (Joe Mastroianni)

Council fights four-storey zone By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay council is opposing the state government’s proposal to rezone the former Altona Gate Primary School at Altona North to allow four-storey residential development, saying lower-density housing is more suitable. The council is also pushing for part of the former Altona West Primary School site to be retained in case the land is needed for a $6.9 million early-years hub the council plans to build.

As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, the Department of Education and Training wants to rezone both sites, which have been deemed surplus to educational needs, before putting them up for sale. The government wants to rezone the Altona West site to general residential, which would allow for “moderate housing growth” and “requires development to respect neighbourhood character”. The government also wants the Altona Gate site rezoned as a ‘‘residential growth zone’’,

allowing for residential development of up to four storeys. The 2.4-hectare site takes up a block bounded by Blackshaws Road and Misten, Rosala and Glade avenues. Deputy mayor Sandra Wilson told last week’s council meeting both sites should be rezoned general residential. “If it’s being rezoned, and it probably will be, we will seek general residential for both.” Cr Wilson said the council would continue to advocate for the return of years 10-12 to Altona P-9 College, which adjoins the Altona West site.

As reported by Star Weekly, the department has said selling the Altona West site would not affect the potential future expansion of Altona P-12 College. The council is opposed to the government’s request for a development plan overlay to be applied to both sites, which would strip the community of its right to appeal. It is also requesting mandated developer contributions. An advisory committee has been appointed to make a recommendation to the Planning Minister on the proposed rezoning of the sites.

Pink touch says it all Toll Global Logistics of Laverton took part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea last Thursday in honour of a much-loved workmate who lost his battle with cancer. The company joined the Cancer Council fundraiser last year after the death of an employee from the paper and plastics division, father-of-three Richard Kirim. On Thursday, workers donned pink safety vests and pink boots for the morning tea, raising $3701. That figure is set to double when the company’s chemical team holds its morning tea this Thursday. Employee John Littler said everyone on site was touched personally by Mr Kirim’s death. “He worked with us for 11-and-a-half years,” Mr Littler said. “He was diagnosed with cancer in the jaw. Then it spread through to his chest and he consequently died after 16 months of treatment.” Fellow workmate Edward Novak said the morning tea allowed everyone to come together

for a cause close to their hearts. “Richard was just a well-loved person, a very approachable, good character,” he said. “He and I had a few interests in regards to cars and things like that … He was a top bloke.” Toll chief executive Chris Pearce praised workers for a “top effort”. “Toll has a community ethos, but this effort pleasingly goes over and above that and demonstrates that the team at Laverton have a wonderful and caring culture,” he said. “We’re very proud of their initiative and look forward to this and other events raising much-needed funds.” Goya Dmytryshchak Toll employees Cindy Hansen, Samantha Tuddenham, Sandra Guy, Nanette Mclean, Edward Novac, Stephen Dearaugo and John Littler.

Vicar’s water runs deep By Goya Dmytryshchak Descendants of the esteemed Reverend George Wilkinson visited Melbourne’s earliest known memorial fountain at Williamstown on Monday, paying homage to a temperance advocate who lived at a time when the port was full of drunken sailors. The Wilkinson Memorial Drinking Fountain, built in 1876, has been painstakingly restored to its original burgundy colour, after years of conjecture about whether it was originally white. Muffie Borthwick, the Reverend’s great great grand-daughter, said her ancestor arrived in Australia in 1839 as an Anglican or Church of Ireland vicar and chaplain on a convict ship. He was appointed vicar at Holy Trinity in 1859, remaining there until his death in 1875. “He was amazing to his parishioners and was virtually a bit like the local doctor,” Mrs Borthwick said. She said she was “really very thrilled” at the fountain’s restoration. After the Reverend’s death, more than 2000 people donated money to build the memorial in his honour. Hobsons Bay mayor Peter Hemphill said about 12 months ago the council had engaged conservator Jude Schahinger to begin the fountain’s restoration. “Since that point, she has used photographs and, in some cases, 140-year-old drawings to ensure the restoration is as close as possible to the original,” he said. “The fountain speaks of Williamstown’s early years when sailors were regularly landing at the port and heading straight for the pubs. “That was what the fountain was there for – to quench the sailor’s thirst and divert them from what were then fairly insalubrious establishments,” the mayor said.

Health funds ‘scare’: Greens The Greens have accused Labor of scare mongering to score political points by falsely claiming Williamstown Hospital emergency department was in danger of closing. Greens MP Sue Pennicuik gained a commitment during the recent parliamentary budget estimates inquiry from Labor Health Minister Jill Hennessy that the ED would remain open. Under questioning, Ms Hennessy told the inquiry the Western Health board had identified ways to pay back $5 million in funding to the federal government. The federal government has claimed Victorian hospital activity was incorrectly reported, and that the state government was overpaid. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, Ms Hennessy last month warned the loss of $73.2 million in federal funding could mean the imminent closure of the hospital emergency departments, claiming legal action in the High Court had been launched to prevent this. But this month, Ms Hennessy told the inquiry the state government would keep open hospital ED wards until court matters were resolved. “We are going to keep investing to keep emergency access for those communities, but we are not prepared to let the federal government off the hook,” the minister said. “It’s time to end the state-federal health funding blame game,” Ms Pennicuik responded.

Families are delving into a new treasure trove of toys at Maidstone Child and Family Centre. Program officer Bec Gelsi said the toy library, officially launched on Saturday, opened as a second branch following the success of the toy library at West Footscray Neighbourhood House. Aimed at children from newborn to eight years of age, the toy library lets members borrow from a large line-up of toys. Ms Gelsi said the Maidstone opening has been eagerly anticipated by families, with some of the toys featured in a window display since the building opened following a $4.7 million redevelopment 18 months ago.

MY PLACE Altona’s John Dawson is known for hosting community discussions about The Beatles, but he’s also a big fan of his seaside suburb, as he tells Goya Dmytryshchak. What’s your connection with Hobsons Bay? I have a strong connection having lived all of my 63 years in Altona. My mother was born in the 1920s in a single-fronted weatherboard house in Queen Street, which was pulled down when the library was built in the ’60s. My dad visited Altona as a teenage lad, as they did back then, looking for a bit of fun by the seaside. Met mum, fell in love, were married and six children later the rest is history. All six of their children have lived in Altona or Hobsons Bay all their lives, too. When my wife and I married in 1974, there was no question we would live in Altona, and we have done ever since. I’ve always been connected to our community through kinders, school councils, the hockey club and through my involvement with the Community Banks in the area. What are you passionate about and why? I am very proud and passionate about my family, especially my siblings and my own children, Daniel and Katie. I believe in our community and I encourage everyone to help out where they can and also

seek help if they need it, whatever their needs. That’s what a good community does and we certainly live in a good community. Oh! And, as your picture will show, I’m passionate about The Beatles. To me, they represent great music and a great story, and they remain an influence some 50 years after they broke up.

What do you love about Altona? The beach. The people. The facilities. It’s a little slice of heaven hidden away in the western suburbs. I remember back in the ’60s, there was a picture of then-premier Henry Bolte swimming

P.A COMPARISON RATE*

Probably my oldest memory is going to the Saturday afternoon matinees at the Altona picture theatre. I remember the steps – quite a climb for a little bloke. It would most likely be a cowboy movie – the ones where the good guys wore white hats and the baddies, black. We’re talking late ’50s … it would be mum and dad and the family, with me on dad’s shoulders there and back. We walked from our house in Mount Street. Gee, I felt special up there on dad’s shoulders. A funny one also from that period would be my dad chasing a bat around the clothesline with a tennis racquet or checking to see why a penny banger under a clay plant pot hadn’t gone off. Or opening the night man’s little door at the back of our outside dunny and giving an unsuspecting aunty a fright with the garden hose. Maybe we had the first bidet in Altona. One of my fondest memories is summer in Altona … on hot evenings, we would meet down the beach, no phone calls, no preparation, just meet and spend the evening; Dad drinking out of 750-millilitre bottles of VB or Abbotsford Lager. The chip shop that only opened in summer – and those chips were the best. Or the carnival that set up in the park or the double-header ice-cream cones from the milkbar, chocolate and strawberry. Like I said – Altona, a little slice of heaven.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir will go to the ends of the earth for a good feed … Jade Stream is tucked away at the railway station end of the cluttered, unlovely part of town still referred to as the Golden Mile. What are we expecting, or hoping for? Just some smart, tasty Cantonese food – nothing innovative or challenging, but something satisfying and of good quality. And that’s pretty much exactly what we get. I’m guessing Jade Stream has been in place for a couple of decades – inside has an air of timelessness and a vibe that speaks of a business that knows what it’s about and has a good handle on its customers. While we’re enjoying our dinner, a handful of tables of various numbers come and go – and all of them appear to be regulars on friendly terms with the staff. We like that. We find the service to be very good. Jade Stream lays some claim to being Chinese-Malaysian, but mostly this is a straight-up Chinese joint. Curry puffs ($5.50) are chubby cylinders and seem rather small. But the fillings are very good – mostly a rich mix of minced meat with some crunch ‘n’ pop from peas. Short soup ($6) has a very good and flavoursome broth with a bit of a peppery kick. There are five slithery, delicious wontons – Bennie’s glinty-eyed enthusiasm wins him three, his dad gets two. Garlic pepper steak ($25.90) also appears of modest proportions, but in this case

JADE STREAM CHINESE RESTAURANT Address: 62 Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing Phone: 9748 9666 appearances are deceiving. There’s nothing particularly garlicky about the sauce, but it is nonetheless rich and wonderful. The beef cubes are big, of high quality and superbly cooked. And we appreciate the many chunks of broccoli. Szechuan eggplant hot pot is a big hit with us and an outright bargain. The smaller diced pieces of eggplant, along side peas, pork mince and chilli, are interspersed with silky, larger eggplant chunks of beaut flavour. At $18.90, and with rice, it could easily serve as a light meal for two. So big is the serve that we eat a little more than half, with the rest and the leftover rice coming home with us for Bennie’s school lunch the next day. With two serves of rice, but no soft drinks, our dinner has cost us a fair $61.30.

CANNELLONI? CAN DO When it comes to comfort food, it’s hard to go past cannelloni. Who doesn’t love getting stuck into a cheesy bowl full of carbs as the cooler weather kicks in? For me, there is something strangely relaxing about standing at the kitchen bench, stuffing cannelloni tubes with a butter knife. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing this week, having made a massive pot of Bolognese sauce from scratch. Ironically, though, it’s my shortcut cheat’s cannelloni recipe (found in an ancient edition of That’s Life! and since modified by me) which usually gets the best reception. It’s super quick because you don’t need to pre-cook the mince. I find kids and adults alike can’t get enough of it.

JAMES BRAYSHAW HOST OF TRIPLE M’s RUSH HOUR AND THE FOOTY SHOW

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

FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? JB: Now I’m a single dad with four kids to cook for often I’ve improved. That said, Shannon Bennett doesn’t need to feel threatened just yet. FB: What’s your signature dish? JB: The kids would say my spaghetti sauce. I’m bored with it – having cooked it for years – but they love it and they are brutal judges. FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? JB: Slow-cooked lamb shoulder with fresh greens and a 1996 Henschke Hill of Grace that’s been opening up in the decanter for 24 hours! FB: What is your favourite TV food show and who is your favourite TV food person? JB: Don’t watch TV cooking shows. We’ve had Matt Preston and Gary Mehigan in regularly on the Rush Hour and they are very cool guys. I also like Gordon Ramsay ‘cos he swears nearly as much as me! FB: What’s your favourite food? JB: Lean meats with fresh vegetables in the winter and salad in the summer. I’m also a victim for French cheese, although I’m not sure they’re that good for you. FB: What is your favourite drink? JB: Barossa shiraz. Coonawarra Cab Sauv … basically anything red that comes out of SA. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? JB: Jack Nicholson, Keith Richards, Arnold Palmer, David Letterman and Susan Sarandon. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? JB: If there is someone with genuine cooking skill in the house, get out of their way. The worst thing is people who think they know how to cook when they have no idea. My mum is a superb cook. When she comes around I buy the ingredients and I leave her to it … works every time!

PREPARE YOURSELF

FOR A CAREER IN

CHICKEN AND RICOTTA CANNELLONI

600g jar of pasta sauce (or a 700g bottle of passata is fine, if you like it saucier!) 2 tsp crushed garlic (feel free to use the bottled variety – I won’t judge!) 300g chicken mince ¼ tsp chicken stock powder 250g tub smooth ricotta cheese ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs 120g packet instant cannelloni Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius and lightly grease a 20 x 28cm baking dish. Spread half the pasta sauce in dish. Place garlic, chicken mince, stock powder, ricotta cheese and herbs into a bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff into cannelloni tubes (I like to dip the tubes in hot water first) and place in a single layer over the pasta sauce. Spread remaining pasta sauce over the cannelloni. Top with béchamel sauce (or if you’re really pressed for time, just put a few slices of mozzarella cheese on top). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until cooked through.

Within a five-minute walk of Yarraville Village’s cafes and Sun Theatre, as well as multiple schools, this period dwelling’s potential charm is hidden behind tropical greenery. The house is perfectly habitable as is, but with its high ceilings, picture rails, fireplaces, original floorboards and sash windows, along with backyard space, the property is ripe for improvement. Six rooms include a lounge room, dining area, bedrooms, kitchen, laundry and a loft space. The kitchen has new cabinetry, freestanding gas cooker and a servery window to the timber-lined dining area.

Other features include gas heating and water tanks with 2000-litre capacity.

Within walking distance of Central West shopping centre, Dinjerra Primary School and public transport, this renovated four-bedroom house should impress families. Polished floorboards flow from the foyer down the main hall, past the large lounge room and dining room towards the sizeable family-meals area. The adjoining cottage-style kitchen has a stainless-steel underbench oven, 900mm gas cooktop, breakfast island trolley and ample white cabinetry with matching tile splashback. All bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the main also has a fully renovated en suite. The main bathroom has a modern glass-screen shower and dual basin vanity.

Property of the week

WILLIAMSTOWN 64 Twyford Street, 3016 RT Edgar: 9399 9888

Price: $2.7 million+

Twyford Street is one of Williamstown’s favourite streets. Apart from its leafy surrounds, that really come into their own with the changing colours of autumn, the proximity of the beach and the Botanic Gardens gives it extremely family-friendly credentials. A meticulous renovation and extension has transformed Penlee into a showcase of contemporary appointments. It has appeared in the TV series Australia’s Best Houses and won best renovation in the 2012 Master Builder of the Year. A Tina Linder design, the architecture here is not straight out of the handbook.

Auction: June 4 at 2.30pm Wide, timber floorboards are immediately inviting on entry and add warmth and texture to the fresh, white-on-white colour palette. The lounge room combines its Federation bones – deep skirts, huge cornices, box bay and sash windows – with soaring bulkhead ceilings with soft grey-coloured walls and built-in shelving. The house has an easy flow, with a retreat space off the long hall and three of the four bedrooms (with built-in wardrobes) either side. The floor-to-ceiling tiled main bathroom has a floating vanity basin, frameless glass shower, mosaic-tiled feature wall and a huge window set above

the tub that opens out to a side garden. The main bedroom asserts itself as the opulent domain with its large en suite and ample storage space. It also has skylights and outdoor access. Charcoal pillars and almost full-height panels of glass enclose the family-meals zone. Electric blinds descend at the flick of a switch when the light becomes too much. In the kitchen, thick slabs of marble with waterfall edges dominate and clean-white lines and soft-closing drawers enhance the sleek appeal. A suite of Miele appliances includes double ovens, a dishwasher, induction cooktop and fridge/freezer.

The landscaped outdoors are designed for relaxed enjoyment. A paved alfresco space gets uninterrupted views of the salt water, solar heated pool through a frameless glass fence, and the poolside patio is complete with built-in gas barbecue and wok burner. Synthetic turf is surrounded by hedging and established bamboo and olive trees. The front gates are electric and the house has zoned central heating, refrigerated cooling, broadband internet, security system, garden shed, automated irrigation system and single garage.

■ The issue of statues at sports venues always makes for robust discussion, but I don’t think anyone would begrudge Kevin Bartlett joining the legends at the MCG. From what I heard on radio, it’s a popular decision. Bulldogs fans see the great EJ every time they cruise into the Whitten Oval, and rightly so. There probably isn’t room at the Whitten Oval for statues of the likes of Charlie Sutton and Doug Hawkins. I wonder, though, if there is anywhere in the west where we could establish an avenue of honour to acknowledge sports greats of the west. I mean all sports, not just football. We have had greats in cricket, boxing and the Olympics, to name just a few. If you have suggestions where this could be located and who should be in it, let me know.

Lacrosse feast Women’s national championships: June 4-8 Men’s national championships: June 7-12 Australia v England women’s test series: June 10-12

Williamstown’s Matthew Price was a late inclusion for Victoria after clubmate Jason Mackinnon had to withdraw because of injury. (Damjan Janevski)

Vics a big title show By Lance Jenkinson The west is about to take centre stage for an eight-day lacrosse extravaganza. The men’s and women’s national championships, along with a rare three-Test women’s series between Australia and England, will feature on the synthetic pitches at Footscray Hockey Club in Yarraville, starting on Saturday. “It’s a healthy time for lacrosse in the western suburbs at the moment,” Williamstown and Victoria goalkeeper Evan Willis told Star Weekly. “It’s going to be a great atmosphere down there.” Much interest surrounds the Victorian men’s team, which could end Western Australia’s recent domination.

Willis believes the Big V is better placed than any time in the recent past to claim the title. “There’s real talent in this team and if we’re going to do it, this is the year,” he said. “[We have] home ground advantage, a group of guys who have known each other for a long time and two quality coaches . . . the makings are all there. “We just have to put it together on the park.” There is a real western suburbs flavour in both Victoria’s men’s and women’s teams. There are 11 players from western clubs in the men’s side, including six from Footscray and five from state league champions Williamstown, as well as coach Max Madonia (Footscray) and assistant coach Damien Orr (Williamstown). In the women’s side, 15 of the 18 players are from western clubs, including seven from

■ Interesting weekend of football just gone, with the Bulldogs getting the points over Collingwood in a low-scoring game at the MCG. I thought the Pies were the better team for most of the day, but ran out of legs and players in the end, with the red, white and blue doing the job. That is what good teams do. They take advantage of whatever situation is presented. We have lacked that killer instinct in the past and probably would have lost that game a few years ago. The young players are really inspiring and it is great to see Easton Wood excelling as captain. As the reigning best and fairest, he’s expected to be one of our best players, but his leadership is fantastic and what a team-lifting goal he kicked on Sunday. It is back to Etihad Stadium this Sunday for a mid-afternoon game against the Eagles.

Footscray, six from state league premiers Newport and two from Williamstown, with Newport coach Stacey Morlang in charge. It accentuates the home-ground advantage the Victorians should enjoy. “The home team has a big advantage from the get-go,” Willis said. “It’s a good starting point – you get the crowd on your side – but it still doesn’t make or break the championship.” Australia’s women’s team will battle England at 1.30pm on Friday and Saturday and at 12.30pm on Sunday. It will pit two of the top-four teams in the world from the last world championships. “It’s going to be huge,” Willis said. “English lacrosse is very well funded and our women’s squad comes from a small pool of talent but are proven world-beaters.”

■ The VFL Big V was not good enough to knock over the South Australians last Sunday in Adelaide. There was a big contingent of western suburbs players from Williamstown, Werribee and Footscray in the side but in the end the Croweaters got home by 19 points. All three western suburbs sides sit in the VFL eight, but there is a long way to go. This Wednesday night (June 1) sees the rugby league State of Origin series start. This series is the pinnacle of that sport and is one of the greatest sports rivalries I have ever seen. I won’t miss a minute of all three games. While rugby league is nowhere near as exciting as our game, this is must-see TV. Even if you have never seen a game or know nothing about the rules, you will enjoy watching this spectacle.

It’s easy to get the feeling Melvin Monleh deals only in gold. A rising star on the Australian athletics scene, Monleh is coming off a brilliant 12 months on the track. The 13-year-old, who arrived in Australia from Liberia eight years ago, dominated the sprint events at the Australian junior athletics championships in Perth in March. Competing in the under-15s, he won gold medals in both the 100 and 200 metres then anchored Victoria’s 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams to victory. Monleh’s coach, Steve Gaffney, said the performances were up there with the best of the young star’s career. “This year Melvin is much more into the Athletics Victoria and Athletics Australia junior pathways,” he said. “Before that, he was in Little Athletics competitions. These are fantastic results for him. He’s racing the best under-15 runners in the country and doing it quite easily.” Monleh began his career at Sunbury Little

Late Lester goal gets Jets home Western Jets saw off a fast-finishing Calder Cannons to secure a vital win in the TAC Cup competition at the weekend. After leading by as many as 22 points at one stage, the Jets were forced to call on all their fighting spirit to hold on, 8.7 (55)-7.11 (53). The Jets looked at home in the wet and windy conditions at Williamstown’s Burbank Oval, regularly pushing the ball inside 50 and making the most of their chances. It was the opposite for Calder, which managed just three goals before three- quarter time before finding their range in the final term. Calder started the quarter on fire, kicking three goals in three minutes to cut the deficit to single figures. Another goal to the visitors put the Jets behind for the first time in the match and it looked as though the Cannons were primed for an unlikely win. But Western’s Brandon Lester had other

ideas, putting his side back in front with the sealing goal late in the match. Jets coach Torin Baker was rapt with the fight his players showed when the pressure was at its toughest. “I was really pleased with the way we attacked the game,” he said. “They hit the front in the last quarter and had the momentum. For us to kick an important goal and then be able to hold out for the last eight minutes was a testament to the group and how we want to play.” In the tough conditions for goalkickers, Tristan Xerri was a clear standout for the Jets. Playing in just his second TAC Cup match, Xerri finished with four vital goals and was among his side’s best players. He was well supported by Connor Griffiths and Daniel Foley. After a slow start to the season, the Jets are now back in the hunt for a finals berth. Western has won back-to-back matches and

now sits in ninth place with three wins and five losses. The Jets will have the perfect chance to make it three in a row when they take on the struggling Northern Knights this week. Baker said he could see the improvement in his side as his players started to get more continuity. “We had a tough draw early on and we probably just weren’t quite up to the mark in a few of those games,” he said. “Now we’re playing teams that are around us on the ladder. “If we want to play finals it’s really important we win these sort of games. “We have a couple more coming up that are really important for us.” Liam Twomey Tristan Xerri was marking everything for the Western Jets on Saturday.

Bulldogs blue, not beat By Lance Jenkinson Footscray dropped the game it could ill afford to lose on the weekend. The Bulldogs were sucked to second bottom after a 4-2 loss to Southern United at McIvor Reserve in a performance dubbed “terrible” by coach Josh Burt. Facing matches against premiership contenders Hawthorn and Camberwell in the next fortnight, the Dogs are in danger of getting bogged down in the Hockey Victoria men’s premier league relegation zone. “The problem with young teams like ours is they lack consistency,” Burt said. “We play some really good hockey for 10 or 15 minutes, and then we go through 10 to 15-minute patches where nothing goes right for us.” Footscray had more than its fair share of chances in a dominant second half. At 2-2, the Bulldogs were constantly on the attack, but misfired when it counted. Southern United needed only a five-minute window to put two goals on the board and steal the points. 52 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 1, 2016

“We had about 15 circle penetrations to their five and, sadly, we missed three or four open nets,” Burt said. “Being young heads, they get a bit nervous and panic, and they commit unforced turnovers, which cost us in the end.” Footscray is young and inexperienced, but oozing with talent. They lack a steadying influence, particularly in defense, since the departure of Andrew Monte last season. “If we could get some maturity into the backline,” Burt pondered. “One’s 16, one’s 19, one’s 20, and the other one is 21 – they’re all just young heads. “As soon as we get a bit of maturity into them, they’ll be alright.” There are no plans for Footscray to alter course, though. But the Bulldogs may have to sacrifice a run at this season’s finals to get hard minutes onto the legs of their talented youngsters. Burt is a little downcast about the loss to Southern and admits his side will have its back against the wall for the next two weeks.

But he is excited by what the future holds. “Someone asked me today, do we want to get someone in?” he said. “No club likes to be sitting near the bottom and in the unfavourable position that we’re in, but we need to trust the group we’ve got. “They’re a good bunch of kids with fantastic potential, and they are learning. “They’re just not there yet, but they’re certainly coming and when they do, give it two or three seasons, our season like this one will be forgotten.” Meanwhile, Altona lost ground in the finals contest after a 2-1 loss to Doncaster. The A’s are down in eighth place with 10 points in nine games. In women’s premier league, Footscray belted Southern United 7-0, with Lily Brazel leading the way with a hat-trick. The Bulldogs are three points clear in second spot, but still trail undefeated ladder-leader Greensborough by five points. Altona was upset 3-1 by Doncaster in a blow for the fifth-placed side.

It was a goal feast in state league 1 of the Football Federation Victoria at the weekend, with an average of 4.5 goals a game in the six round 9 games. Altona Magic played its part in a 4-1 road win over Keilor Park at Keilor Park Reserve on Saturday. The Magic, who boast the most potent strike force in the division, eclipsed their three-goals-per-game average with a double from Jon McShane and one each from Jason Hayne and new recruit Daniel Visevic. It was the perfect start to life at Paisley Park for Visevic, who came off the bench to cap off a week in which he was signed by the Magic after the departure of Marino Gasparis to NPL club Pascoe Vale. There were goals aplenty for Altona East Phoenix and Yarraville Glory. Unfortunately, both of those sides were leaky in defence and were beaten. The Phoenix lost 5-3 to Westgate, while the Glory went down 3-2 to Banyule City. Altona City arrested its slide in state league 2, beating Essendon United 2-1 at JH Allan Reserve in what most would consider a surprise result given the contrasting form lines. Williamstown came from a goal down at half-time to beat Lalor United 4-2 in men’s state league 3 to keep the second-placed Blues in hot pursuit of leader Geelong Rangers. Melbourne City had a day it would rather forget, belted 5-0 by Westvale on home soil at Edwards Reserve. Maribyrnong Greens had a similar sick feeling in state league 4, losing 5-0 to Spring Hills. But it was better news for Altona North, which moved out of the relegation zone with a gutsy 2-1 win at Balmoral. In the women’s leagues, Yarraville Glory lost its middle-of-the-ladder state league 2 tussle with La Trobe University 5-3, despite a hat-trick from Sarah Lovett. The state league 3 title race is hotting up with the top four, which includes Maidstone United, Altona Magic and Maribyrnong Swifts, separated by just two points. Maidstone’s 2-1 win over Magic came courtesy of goals from Amanda Kezovska and Effie Noulas, while the Swifts’ 4-1 drubbing of St Albans saw Anja Boyens, Matilda Myers, Anna Pereyra and Elena Pereyra on the scoresheet.

High-flying Devils have their feet on the ground North Footscray is on a roll in division 2 of the Western Region Football League but there is no chest-beating at Hansen Reserve. The Devils will put a six-game winning streak on the line when they travel to league leaders Caroline Springs on Saturday, the only side to have toppled them in seven starts. “We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves,” Devils co-coach Matt Walsh told Star Weekly. “It can easily turn the other way. “We have to come with the same mindset and the same attitude we’ve had in the past two weeks and I’m sure things will look after themselves.” North Footscray’s form has been irresistible. The Devils backed up a 41-point win over premiership contender Yarraville-Seddon with a ridiculously easy 113-point win over finals contender Glen Orden at home at Hansen Reserve on Saturday. It is not only the result and subsequent four

premiership points that has pleased Walsh but his team’s no passengers approach. “The last two weeks have been enormous for us,” Walsh said. “We’ve had 22 contributors and we’ve played the brand of footy we wanted.” A feature of the win over Glen Orden was the ability to spread the load, with 11 goalkickers, including eight to Tyren Montebruno, five to Zak Atkins and four to Sam Kater. It was the engineroom which decided the outcome of the game, with Kieran Murphy producing yet another superb performance and Max Rampling prominent. “Our midfielders are really working well together,” Walsh said. “We have eight or nine blokes that run through there and it’s just about making sure we stick with our game plan and stick with our rotations.” North Footscray and Caroline Springs have met once already this season, the Lakers coming out victors by seven points.

While much of the external focus will be on whether the Devils can stop Lakers stars Matthew Sutton and Brian Lake, the Devils themselves believe it will be no different to any other game in that the side with the most influential midfielders will likely win. “The game is won and lost in the midfield,” Walsh said. “Both teams pride themselves on that and both teams have quality midfields. “Whoever wins that battle will be able to give their forwards first use and give them every opportunity to win the game.” In division 1, Spotswood bounced back from the shock loss to newly promoted Wyndhamvale with a 38-point away win over Sunshine Kangaroos. In division 3, Newport Power has a share of top spot after a 71-point win over Laverton Magpies at Laverton Park. Lance Jenkinson

Dogs are ready to growl By Lance Jenkinson Footscray is building up a head of steam in the Victorian Football League. After a spluttering opening month, the Bulldogs have reeled off three consecutive wins to move to sixth on the ladder. But while the Bulldogs are on the rise, they are yet to show their credentials as a serious contender with hit-and-miss form against top-eight opponents so far. The Dogs will get a real gauge of where they truly sit in the pecking order when they face defending premiers Williamstown in the western derby at Whitten Oval on Sunday. “It’s another challenge that our young guys are ready for and certainly one we’re priming ourselves for,” Bulldogs coach Ashley Hansen told Star Weekly. “I don’t think any one game is an eight-point game, but it’s certainly an important one in relation to our season.” Footscray and Williamstown certainly share a bit of history, which makes the clash all the more appetising. They were engaged in an AFL-VFL alignment for six years before going their separate ways at the end of 2013. The split has worked a treat for both clubs with Footscray taking out the flag in 2014, followed by Williamstown last season. “The two premiers of the last couple of years going head to head is always a spectacle,” Hansen said. “Footy in the west should really relish these games and turn up and support them. “It’s a growing rivalry each year, but it’s a really healthy one with a lot of respect between the two clubs with the history we’ve had.” Footscray is content with its 4-3 record so far this season as the Bulldogs’ manpower has been challenged by key injuries for both the AFL and VFL team. Their clashes with premiership contenders Sandringham and Werribee ended in losses, while a defeat to Richmond after leading by five goals was a tough pill to swallow. The ship has been a little steadier with victories over North Ballarat, Port Melbourne and Essendon in the past three matches. “I think it’s a reflection of where we’re at as a team,” Hansen said. “We’ve been hit by a fair bit of injury on both the VFL and AFL lists, but it’s created a lot of opportunities for guys. “I’m really happy with the fact we’re 4-3 and have probably strengthened our list in regards to being able to get a lot of first-year players into our system or new players to our club. “It sets us up to have really good depth in the second half of the year.” There is always interest in next-cab-off-therank discussions when it comes to promotions from Footscray’s side to the AFL. Lukas Webb and Mitch Honeychurch are banging down the door after their form in the VFL and would seem to be the next in line.

Sport shorts Basketball

Altona Gators competed hard but fell short of causing an upset in a 95-83 loss to runaway Big V Basketball division 2 ladder leaders Western Port Steelers at Altona Sports Centre on Sunday. The Gators had no answer to Steelers star Ricki Dehaan, who had 39 points on 55 per cent shooting and a perfect 16-from-16 at the free throw line. Justin Eckhardt continued his good form for the Gators with 28 points and 10 rebounds. In women’s division 2, Altona ran out of steam late in a 66-61 loss to North East.

Lacrosse

Williamstown players have been proven mere mortals by Eltham in a 10-7 loss at Lower Eltham Park on Saturday. It was the defending champions Fearons first loss of the season and re-ignites the race for the minor premiership. Michael Denapoli scored four goals in Footscray’s tight 9-8 win over Caulfield, which moved it up to third. In women’s state league, undefeated Newport crushed Williamstown 16-6 with Hayley Sofarnos superb with six goals and three assists. Footscray thrashed Caulfield 12-4 after a five-point game from Stephanie Kelly.

Rugby league

Altona Roosters and Northern Thunder played out an 84-point thriller in the NRL Victoria first grade at Bruce Comben Reserve on Saturday. After the 80 minutes, the sides could not be separated, finishing deadlocked on 42 apiece in a remarkable game. The Roosters remain in touch with the top four, just two points behind the third-placed Thunder.

Cricket

Lauchlan Dalgleish was one of three Footscray players in the VFL representative side that travelled to SA at the weekend. (Damjan Janevski)

More often than not when a Footscray player has been promoted this season, he has provided a meaningful contribution to the AFL side and that was evident in Josh Dunkley’s performance in the Western Bulldogs’ win over Collingwood at the MCG on Sunday. “At our club at the moment you have to put together a catalogue of good performances,”

Hansen said. “It’s not just a one-off, which might’ve been rewarded with an AFL game in the past. Those guys have put together a really strong portfolio and are discussed weekly at match committee. “They’ll have to wait for their opportunity, which can be frustrating, but I think it prepares them for success when they do get the call-up.”

Laverton has appointed Tim Sparks as head coach for the next two seasons in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association. Sparks arrives with a strong coaching resume from both interstate and overseas. He has been assistant coach of both Northern Territory and Indonesian sides. The Magpie coaching panel will also include Shaun Delaney (assistant coach) and Mal Hartshorne (director of coaching).

As luck would have it, Melbourne’s dry spell broke the morning I picked up the MX-5 from Mazda HQ, which meant having to leave the roof up as I headed back west along the Monash Freeway. This allowed me to gain a first impression of Mazda’s little convertible as a normal car because, face it, it would have to be pretty crappy not to be enjoyable with the roof down. I couldn’t help compare it to Toyota’s 86 coupe. It’s low to the ground, meaning most of us above the age of 40 will let out a groan when getting in, only to be soothed by sporty, back-hugging leather seats. Turn the key and it has the same sportiness in the throaty note and the stiffness of the six-speed manual gearbox. Because your bum is just several centimetres off the ground, the car feels quick at low speed and handles like it’s on rails. The driver also gets a nice view of the wheel arches extending above each side of the bonnet. I was driving the MX-5 Roadster GT with the 1.5 litre engine, which didn’t quite have the same pin-you-to-your-seat acceleration as the Toyota 86, though I’m thinking this would be a different story with the 2.0-litre option. That said, this is a roadster that pays homage to the Alfa Spyder rather than E-Type Jag and it’s not exactly a slouch once you get going. With the roof up it’s fun to drive. Lose the roof and it’s an absolute delight. If you’ve driven a new Mazda, the dashboard layout will be pretty familiar and everything is placed perfectly with driving in mind. It has the touchscreen that sits above the dashboard like an upright iPad that is controlled with a little dial on the centre console. While it had a full suite of apps including sat nav, I was surprised it didn’t have a reverse camera. That isn’t too much of a problem with the roof down, but with the roof up rearward vision is rather poor. It is a very safe car, though, with high-tensile chassis and active

safety features including dynamic stability control, traction control and hill-start assist. The air-conditioning dials are big and easy to manage. The air-conditioning itself works quite well with the roof down, whether it’s hot or cold. Heated seats help with the latter so, rain aside, there’s hardly an excuse not to go topless. The stereo system does a great job in being heard above the din. It was great driving though the forested roads near Healesville with Midnight Oil blaring and the wind flowing through my increasingly Peter Garrett-like hair. This is a fantastic looking little car, roof down or up. I love the grille, sleek headlights and the curves that look good from every angle. With the trend for convertibles to be hard tops with motorised functions, I’m glad Mazda has stuck with a simple, manual rag top. Putting the roof up and down is a simple, mostly one-armed action done from your seat. Not surprisingly, this isn’t a practical car. Inside there isn’t even a glove box in the dashboard, though there is a storage area between the back of the two seats. The low-profile doors don’t have pockets. The centre console is big because it houses the camshaft, so storage there is also at a premium beyond cup holders. The boot is pretty small, though because the roof folds into it’s own little cavity there is no compromise of boot space when you go topless. But you’re not buying this as a family car – you’re buying this because you want a thoroughly enjoyable driving experience, which this delivers in spades. The MX-5 starts at $35,776 for the Roadster with the Roadster GT priced from $41,968. Not bad value for a car named 2016 World Car of the Year. Test drive the Mazda MX-5 at Werribee Mazda, 28-40 Heaths Road, Hoppers Crossing. Visit www.werribeemazda.com.au

What to look for • Look over the body for signs of panel damage or repairs. The latter may show up as mismatched paint colours and/or tiny specks of paint on unpainted surfaces such as glass. • Look for fading and/or cracking of the dashboard top and the rear shelf caused by long-term exposure to the sun. • Be sure the engine starts promptly, even in diesel format, and settles down to a smooth idle straight away. • Listen and feel for any hesitation in an automatic transmission and/or one that’s seems to change gears too often. • Jaguar X-Types are complex machines so a full inspection from a professional should be regarded as essential.

The launch of the midsize Jaguar XE last year has resulted in added interest in the Jaguar X-Type. When it was introduced in Australia in September, 2001, the X-Type was criticised as “being nothing more than a Ford Mondeo with a different body”. Which was partially true, as Ford, which controlled Jaguar at the time, was aiming for a relatively low-cost upmarket British car. But there were major differences. The Jag had a completely different shape, with a wide grille and quad-headlights similar to the larger Jaguars. The X-Type’s best areas are inside, including its traditional leather-and-timber finish. Best of all, the X-Type feels like a Jaguar thanks to its comfortable suspension and silky, light steering. The X-Type is relatively small and really only provides seating for four. Legroom isn’t too bad in the back seat but headroom may cause hassles for anyone of above average height. Keep in mind that Jaguars are sporting sedans, not cruising saloons – so this sort of seating style makes sense. All-wheel drive X-Types come with a V6 petrol engine of 2.5 or 3.0 litres. The front-drive models have a 2.1-litre V6 (confusingly badged as a 2.0-litre to dodge some sort of road tax in the UK). Jaguar introduced a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel X-Type in June, 2008. While there’s is some turbo lag off the line, especially at low revs, once it has reached its cruising speed its a great, economical unit.

FJ Cruiser takes final bow Toyota is set to bid a fond farewell to the FJ Cruiser, a retro-inspired rugged off-roader that became an instant classic when it was launched in Australia in 2011. The FJ Cruiser will end its production run in August with Australians having bought more than 11,000 vehicles at an average of 180 a month – a considerably higher rate than originally expected. Drawing its rugged DNA, inspiration and design cues from Toyota’s famed FJ40, the FJ Cruiser was developed as a basic, capable and affordable vehicle aimed specifically at serious off-roaders looking to push the limits.

The mid-spec CDX is targeted at young buyers able to fork out around $20,000 for a first car and who want a few extras. A basic seven-inch touch screen at the centre of the dash features Holden’s MyLink entertainment system, with built-in apps such as Pandora and TuneIn to let you stream music, and BringGo for access 3D maps. This is a common feature in Holdens. The radio has decent sound quality, and you can easily play your own music via Bluetooth or a USB. The music even keeps playing when you turn off the ignition, until you open the door – this is unlike a lot of new cars, particularly those with keyless start.

56 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 1, 2016

Barina hatch holds its own

Inside The interior is very modular, starting with the gauges and warning lights, which are all in a little plastic container that is plonked on the dashboard in front of the steering wheel. It has a big, round analog rev counter, with the rest of the info, including speed, fuel contents, odometer and selected gear, in a neat blue LDC display. The whole unit looks a bit odd at first, but I couldn’t help admire its simplicity. The plastic continues throughout the cabin, particularly down the centre of the dashboard and central console, much of it in a faux-metal finish, including the air vents. The seats are reasonably comfortable, with plenty of legroom in the front, and you’ll easily fit two adult passengers in the back. The mid-spec CDX has heated front seats.

HOLDEN BARINA CDX Engine

4 cylinder, 1.6L DOHC 16 valve

Economy

6.7 litres/100kms (combined)

Price

From $22,507 drive away

The boot is average for a hatch, but it will easily fit a trolley full of shopping or a couple of medium-sized suitcases. Needless to say, the back seats go down for extra cargo space. Good looks The Barina’s styling has universal appeal. The front has nice angular lines leading to double headlights, and the grille looks like its bigger Holden stablemates. The CDX’s look is bolstered by fog lamps and attractive 17-inch alloy wheels. The only drawback in styling is a low front bumper, which tends to scrape speed humps or bollards. The rear looks pretty good, but the sleek-looking back window limits vision, and while the rearview camera compensates for this when parking, this isn’t available in the base model CD. Performance The Barina travels well even with the automatic transmission. The 1.6 litre engine gives more than enough power to get up hills or pass trucks. You’ll get about 700kms on a full tank. The Barina sits in the middle of the small car range, both in terms of price and quality. The base model CD comes for about $15,000, with an extra $7000 for the CDX features. Something in between with just a few options, including the reverse camera, would be a winner. Test drive the Holden Barina CDX at Alan Mance Holden Footscray, 435 Barkly Street, Footscray.
