Street art in full plume
(Damjan Janevski)
A vibrant artwork depicting an Indian peacock in full plumage has added a welcome splash of colour to West Footscray. The artwork, by Júlia Both (pictured), can be found on the wall running alongside Bharat Traders Indian Supermarket on Barkly Street. It is the first of three new street art works planned as part of Maribyrnong council’s StreetWORKS program. Acclaimed street artist Mike Maka will complete the second work, on the wall of nearby Buzz Barbers, while Bailer has been commissioned to create the third in a location soon to be revealed. The StreetWORKS program, started in 2014, uses street art to brighten up public spaces and discourage graffiti and tagging. Benjamin Millar
City push for speed cuts Maribyrnong council could bypass the state government and go it alone in introducing a 40km/h speed limit on residential streets. An officer’s report due to be considered at Tuesday night’s council meeting proposed rolling out the reduced limits across all local streets. The Safer Local Roads report points to feedback suggesting that three in four residents feel unsafe walking and cycling because of the speed of cars. The reduced limits would cost more than $540,000 for new signage and line marking and up to $18 million to roll out the likes of speed bumps and widened pedestrian islands.
Under the proposal, a reduction of 60km/h speed limits to 50km/h would be sought for stretches of VicRoads-controlled arterial roads including Ballarat Road, Gordon Street, Churchill Avenue, Williamstown Road and Whitehall Road. “The benefits for the proposed introduction of 40km/h speed limit within council’s municipal boundaries, in terms of road safety and reduction in crashes, are well established and aligned with community’s views and expectations,” the report states. The plan has the backing of Maribyrnong mayor Catherine Cumming, who noted a 2016 community survey in which 76.5 per cent of residents indicated being “dissatisfied with the
infocus T U R N T O
speed of traffic on local roads and considered that the speed was too fast”. She said lowering speed limits would substantially reduce the risk of injury or fatality and encourage more people to walk and ride. “When Bicycle Victoria surveyed parents about why their children don’t walk or ride to school, cars speeding was definitely a concern,” she said. The reduced speed limit would be rolled out in seven staged areas, starting with central Footscray. While the proposal has been met with some resistance, Cr Cumming said similar complaints had been made ahead of the introduction of a 50km/h limit in built-up
areas, but they had quickly died down. She said both City of Yarra and City of Port Phillip had gone down the 40km/h path and it was appropriate for Maribyrnong to follow suit. Deputy mayor Sarah Carter said there was merit in the proposal if the council was serious about encouraging more people to cycle and walk. Maribyrnong council will look for the idea to be backed statewide at this Friday’s Municipal Association of Victoria state council meeting. Roads Minister Luke Donnellan and the RACV have both pushed back against the plan, arguing such changes need to be considered on a case-by-case basis rather than under a blanket approach.

Council proposes pet crackdown By Goya Dmytryshchak Enforcing dog-on-leash laws to reduce the risk of attacks and mandatory desexing of cats before registration have been touted under Hobson’s Bay council’s Domestic Animal Management Plan 2017-21. The plan is out for community feedback until November 22. A report tabled at last week’s council meeting
stated that while introducing a cat curfew would have some environmental benefit, “the majority of wandering cats are unregistered, feral and unowned”. Council data estimated that 40 per cent of households own one or more dogs and 26 per cent own one or more cats, equating to 21,352 dogs and 14,168 cats. However, only 9050 dogs (43 per cent) and 3387 cats (24 per cent) are registered.
A snapshot as at April 2017, showed that 509 cats were impounded and of these 463 (91 per cent) were unregistered. Twenty-nine were returned to their owner, 134 were rehoused and 342 were euthanised. Also, 242 dogs were impounded, of which 51 (21 per cent) were unregistered. Of these, 162 were returned to their owner from The Lost Dogs Home. The council returned another 215 dogs to their owners. Sixty dogs were rehoused
and 18 were euthanised. The council wants to increase registration rates and will continue to directly return microchipped and registered lost animals after a successful trial. PETstock is having a microchip blitz at its Altona North store on October 21 and 22, charging a $10 flat fee. Victorian law requires cats and dogs to be microchipped as a condition of registration.

The Williamstown Heritage Beer and Cider Festival is back, with a promise to be good for what ales you. The annual festival had a hiatus when its founder, former Steampacket pub owner Scott Meager, went overseas. Craig Turton of Williamstown Waterfront Events said the local trader group had resurrected it. “We’re local people, we’re about driving people to Williamstown because we’re proud of the area,” he said. “When we heard that Scotty from the Steampacket had moved to America, the
Investigators are calling for help in finding a person alleged to have struck a dog with a chain at a park in Yarraville. RSPCA Victoria is appealing for information about the incident, understood to have occurred in Bellairs Park on Bellairs Avenue between 11am and 12.30pm on Thursday, September 28. Video footage provided to RSPCA Victoria shows what appears to be a person striking a cream-coloured Staffordshire bull terrier with a chain leash, following repeated attempts to hit the dog while chasing it in the park. The person then left with the dog on the lead. RSPCA Victoria inspectorate team leader Sharna Fitt said the dog was reported to have suffered significant stress and possible trauma. “We are pleading for the public’s help to identify the person,” she said. “It is an offence under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1986 to beat, wound, torment or terrify an animal, and anyone who is found guilty of such an act can face fines up to $39,642 or 12 months imprisonment.” The person is described as being of medium height with grey hair, wearing a blue windcheater with a red hood and carrying a large navy-coloured backpack. It is unclear whether they are male or female. The RSPCA has declined to release the video footage or still images from the footage as they could potentially be used in court. Anyone with information about this incident, or who has concerns for the welfare of an animal, is being encouraged to contact RSPCA Victoria on 9224 2222 or at rspcavic.org.

Hackles raised over new suburb By Goya Dmytryshchak
Junior champs’ taekwondo joy
(Joe Mastroianni)
More than 100 submissions, many concerned about overdevelopment and traffic, have been made in response to plans for a new suburb in Altona North. The former Don Smallgoods site, known as Precinct 15, is to be developed into 3000 dwellings up to six storeys high, housing about 7000 people. The 67-hectare site, fronting Blackshaws Road and bounded by Kyle Road, New Street and the West Gate Freeway, is about half the size of Melbourne’s CBD. Hobsons Bay council received an application from a private landholders’ consortium that owns 82 per cent of the site to rezone the former industrial site. That application was facilitated by the Victorian Planning Authority, the government body that oversees planning. The council last week requested Planning Minister Richard Wynne appoint an independent planning panel to consider the 103 submissions received. The most common issues included overdevelopment and associated traffic, loss of neighbourhood character, lack of services and infrastructure, and shortage of open space. At last week’s council meeting councillor Tony Briffa described the plans as “scary”. “I am scared of the development and the volume, size, scale, bulk, traffic all associated with this, potentially,” Cr Briffa said. “Certainly, if you consider that in concert with the ‘Maribyrnong Bypass’ – sorry, the West Gate Tunnel – and the impact of that project on specifically this area, it is dire.” Panel hearings are expected to start November 13 and run for two to three weeks. All 103 submitters will have the opportunity to speak to the panel.
Three local children won gold at this month’s Australian Taekwondo National Championships in Bendigo, where they were among nearly 850 athletes. Yarraville’s Fred Pace, 15, Newport’s Makayla Giovanniello, 13, and Yarraville’s Maddie Camillo, 9, each won their respective divisions to claim national titles. For Makayla, it was her third consecutive national win. The success of Fred and Makayla comes on the back of victories in Fiji where they claimed gold at the 2016 Oceania Taekwondo Championships. The three junior athletes, who train at Mozhdeh Martial Arts, are looking to compete for more local and international titles, with their ultimate aim being to compete at Olympic level.

VicRoads faces growing protest By Tate Papworth The fight to keep licence tests and vehicle checks in Sunshine has stepped up a notch. A rally outside VicRoads’ Ballarat Road office last week – the fifth in a series in protest against VicRoads’ decision to discontinue the services – was also the best attended, with organiser Peter Thomson saying the movement is gathering momentum. “I think we’ve got a reasonable chance of winning this,” he said. “Had you asked me at the beginning, I’d have
said those odds were minimal, but now I’d say it’s a good chance.” Mr Thomson’s push to retain licence tests and vehicle checks in Sunshine has garnered local government support from Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley councils. Hobsons Bay council last week voted to write to Roads Minister Luke Donnellan requesting that he reverse the decision, saying inner-west residents would otherwise have to travel to Melton, Werribee, Sunbury and Broadmeadows for driver-testing.
‘‘
I think we’ve got a reasonable chance of - Peter Thomson winning this
’’
Councillor Angela Altair expressed her outrage about VicRoad’s decision at last week’s council meeting. “This is another example of poor consultation, not-well-thought-out decision making and we do need to express our disappointment with the state government for allowing this to get as
far as this,” she said. “It beggars belief that they can justify this closure.” VicRoads will relocate its Sunshine customer service centre and regional office to new premises at 12-14 Clarke Street, Sunshine early next year. Registration and licensing executive director David Shelton said the new site would be inadequate for licence testing because of “extremely challenging local traffic conditions”. - with Goya Dmytryshchak
Film festival in the can Forget the French Riviera – the most thought-provoking new film festival is coming to Yarraville. The Sun Theatre has partnered with Foodbank Victoria to launch the inaugural Cans Film Festival, to be held October 26-28. The festival will feature documentaries about life, waste, the future of food and human compassion including The Gateway Bug, Hector and Theater of Life. Viewers will be asked to bring a can of food as part of their payment for the film and all proceeds will be donated to Foodbank Victoria. Foodbank Victoria chief executive Dave McNamara thanked Sun Theatre owner Michael Smith for taking on the festival, which he hopes will be “quirky” enough to capture the community’s imagination. “We wanted to raise awareness around food insecurity and Michael thought it was a great idea,” he said.
“These films are thought-provoking and I hope it helps raise awareness that one in six Australians are now having to really rely upon emergency food on their table.” Foodbank Victoria distributes the equivalent of 50,000 meals a day from its Yarraville headquarters, supporting 472 charity partners across Victoria. Mr McNamara said despite the organisation increasing its capacity by about 10 per cent every year, it is still unable to keep up with demand and people are being turned away. Film-goers and the public alike are being encouraged to drop off canned food donations that will go into emergency food relief hampers ahead of the busy Christmas period. Mr McNamara said volunteers are also needed at Foodbank Victoria. Bookings: www.suntheatre.com.au. Benjamin Millar

Musical theatre is alive and well in Australia today, according to Yarraville director Nathan Gilkes. Gilkes will be premiering new Australian musical Jack of Two Trades this week in a production by the Monash Academy of Performing Arts. Rounding out the western suburbs contingency will be Yarraville lighting and set designer Rob Sowinski and Braybrook costume designer Lucy Wilkins. Set in Melbourne during the 1990s, Jack of Two Trades is an original musical adapted from the classic comedy The Servant of Two Masters. Gilkes said the cast brings together performers from a range of backgrounds, including opera, jazz singing, clowning and stand-up comedy.
“This makes for a different twist to musical theatre, most of these people have never done one before but I have this freedom to bring everyone together to create something new.” Gilkes said the funny, song-driven work has been a pleasure to tease out from the script onto the stage. “We are at a funny crossroads in the Australian context – what do we mean by musical theatre, is it an imported model in the Broadway style, or are we speaking in a way this is Australian and not American?” Jack of Two Trades will run October 19-22 in the Drama Theatre at Monash University’s Clayton Campus. Tickets $10-$20. Details: 9905 1111 or monash.edu/mapa Benjamin Millar

Kindred spirits take a bow
Eight charged in drug raids
By Goya Dmytryshchak
Police have raided 19 properties in Melbourne’s west, allegedly seizing 1530 cannabis plants during a seven-week operation which ended last Thursday. The Altona North Divisional Response Unit commenced Operation Snagging on August 23. Search warrants were executed at properties in Altona North, Braybrook, Newport, Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook, Seabrook, Tarneit, Werribee and Wyndham Vale. A 50-year-old Seabrook woman was arrested on Wednesday. She was charged with theft in relation to an electrical bypass. The first arrests were made at a Newport address on August 23. Two Sunshine North men, 33 and 43, were charged in relation to 21 cannabis plants and an electrical bypass. On August 31, a 51-year-old Seabrook man and 44-year-old St Albans man were arrested in Wyndham Vale after police allegedly discovered 223 cannabis plants and an electrical bypass. The same day, a 43-year-old Werribee man was arrested in Werribee after police allegedly discovered 40 cannabis plants and a quantity of amphetamines. A 33-year-old Altona North man was charged after police raided his home on September 11 and allegedly found 20 cannabis plants, a shotgun and ammunition. Also charged was a 67-year-old Werribee man after police allegedly found cannabis and an electrical bypass.
After more than 100 years volunteering between them, Leigh and Merridee Hardinge are hanging up their hats from major roles. Leigh, an Altona SES foundation member and his wife, a former “den mother�, who are Order of Australia Medal recipients, were acknowledged for their significant contribution to Hobsons Bay at last week’s council meeting. The couple are stepping back from their role with the SES. Mr Hardinge, 71, a former mayor and councillor, has also resigned as chairman of youth road trauma body Fit 2 Drive and as a long-time member of the RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council.

“My father always used to say to me, ‘You always try and leave a place better than you found it’,â€? Mr Hardinge said. “I look back on all the things that we’ve had our involvement with and they’ve all been what I call community, wholesome and good outcomes. “You also make some very good friendships and we’ve got some very long-standing friendships. “It’s not only just what we’ve done ‌ you’ll get people looking after their elderly folk at home, you’ll get people that are helping out in Meals on Wheels, you get the whole raft of things that people become involved in. “If volunteering was pulled out of this country, we would go broke.
Merridee and Leigh Hardinge are scaling back their volunteer roles. (Damjan Janevski)
“Our community’s been good to us.� Mr Hardinge’s volunteering started as a Cub instructor with 3rd Williamstown Scout Group in 1961.

travelling, but it wasn’t as though they were “sliding out of the world�. He will continue to be involved with Scouts and Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek and to perform Justice of the Peace duties. Ms Hardinge, 67, will remain as president of Probus Club of Altona and Mr Hardinge as its secretary.

Railway workshop up for grabs By Goya Dmytryshchak An historic Spotswood railway workshop and surrounding land, which the community had hoped to use, has been put up for sale by VicTrack. The Way & Works Workshop, sitting on 4.7 hectares at 561-569 Melbourne Road, is being sold by registration of interest closing November 2. Listing agent Knight Frank describes the corner landholding as providing “the potential for an iconic development”.
The workshop is the last building of the former Spotswood Railway Workshops complex and is listed in the 2006 Hobsons Bay heritage study as having local historic, social and aesthetic significance. Resident Michelle Fisher said the community had hoped to transform the disused site into a community space and garden similar to CERES environmental park in East Brunswick. “We were actually looking at getting temporary access to the land for three months to run some workshops and garden stuff,” she said.
“They [VicTrack] said we could do that if we met certain conditions which would effectively cost the community $100,000 just to get onto the land, so that didn’t really work out.” Ms Fisher said she hoped the state government would help the community gain access to part of the land to do a “CERES of the west 2.0”, which would include urban agriculture and art and performance. “Our hopes are to be able to access that iconic heritage building on the corner and the immediate surrounding land … for
community events and some small gardening and other activities,” she said. Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said the government wanted developers to pitch their ideas, and community engagement would be an essential part of the selection process. “This is a wonderful opportunity to unlock a gateway site in Hobsons Bay,” he said. “I’m confident the development of this old railway land will continue Spotswood’s urban renewal.” A preferred buyer will be selected early next year.
West Side foodie story The west’s first food truck hub and bar is rising with the arrival of West Side Best Side. Opening in Kingsville on November 3, the open air bar, art, music and food truck space will run throughout summer on the site of the former Rising Sun car yard. West Side Best Side founder Ellie Marin said the hub will host a rotating roster of food trucks along with craft beer, cider, wine and cocktail pitchers. “It’s going to be like a summer-long community celebration,” she said. “It will feature a lot of local trucks from Maribyrnong and right across Melbourne as well.” Ms Marin, who owns food trucks Cornutopia and My Two Mums, has noticed an explosion in the field over recent years but wanted to bring something different to the west. She is keen to ensure the independent spirit of the site sets it apart from the corporate flavour
of similar projects in the northern suburbs. “There will be no CUB-style multinationals; we are looking at all local micro-brewed beers and ciders along with summer-style cocktails.” Space will be offered over to artists to display their works and acoustic live music is also expected to feature. Ms Marin wants the relaxing space attractive to everyone, from local families to workers looking for a quiet knock-off drink. West Side Best Side will be open from 5-10pm Fridays and noon-10pm Saturdays and Sundays, on the corner of Geelong and Williamstown roads. Then in six months time it will be gone, making way for the six-level, 33-apartment ‘Kingsvillage’ project. If successful, Ms Marin is hoping to take the concept to other moribund inner-west sites.

VU denies union job hits By Benjamin Millar Victoria University management has rejected accusations it is deliberately sacking union officers. National Tertiary Education Union VU branch president Paul Adams, vice-president Stuart Martin and secretary David Garland have all been forcibly made redundant. Dr Adams said three of the four officers of the local branch being made redundant just as a new enterprise bargaining period opened was clearly an attempt to weaken the union.
“It’s never happened before – for three of four branch officers to be retrenched,” he said. Dr Adams said he had taught at VU for 24 years and the teaching environment had become increasingly difficult for staff. Other staff have echoed the claims, suggesting management has taken an adversarial stance in its moves to reposition the university in the face of dwindling funds. A Victoria University spokeswoman said VU was transforming to improve the student experience, concentrate research efforts and reduce reliance on sessional staff.
“Victoria University remains committed to enhancing the quality of teaching, learning and shaping the 21st century student experience,” she said. “We aim to do all this in a structure that is financially sustainable.” The spokeswoman said VU has consulted with all staff and adhered to legal and industrial relations obligations. “Forced redundancies remain the option of last resort, and only after all other available options have been exhausted,” she said. “Assertions regarding targeting individuals are completely false.”

Briefs New shopping centre
Property fund manager Folkestone has gained Hobsons Bay council’s approval to build a Woolworths-anchored retail centre on the former Bunnings site at Altona North. The $70 million development at 290-298 Millers Road will also have “large format stores” such as Officeworks and JB HiFi situated opposite. It is to be completed in 2019.
CEO to depart
Hobsons Bay chief executive Chris Eddy last week announced he would not seek to renew his contract in May 2018. Mr Eddy has been with the council since 2004 and was appointed CEO in 2012. He said the timing was right to pursue other interests.
Early Learning Centre deal struck
Hobsons Bay council and the Office of the Minister of Education have agreed to lease part of the land at Altona P-9 College for an early learning centre. The lease will be for an initial period of 21 years, with a further 20 year option, at an annual cost of $1 if demanded.
Three significant trees in Hobsons Bay have been nominated for National Trust heritage listing. The trees were listed under the mayoral program of Cr Sandra Wilson. The trees are a Moreton Bay fig at Logan Reserve in Altona, a river red gum behind Truganina Explosives Reserve near Laverton Creek, and a Canary Island date palm at Altona Coastal Park. “In Hobsons Bay, we love our trees,” Cr Wilson said. “Anyone can register a significant tree on the National Tree Register. “Doing this in my mayoral term is one way of demonstrating that ‘I speak for the trees’ just like the Lorax (Dr Seuss character).” More trees will be nominated over the coming year.

Reserve plan revealed
A draft master plan for Digman Reserve at Newport has been released for public feedback. The plan includes installation of floodlighting for a soccer tenant, opening the reserve up to evening and winter sport.

A dark horse has emerged in the Labor preselection race for the plum state seat of Footscray. Andrew Porter, a former advisor to prime ministers Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard and press secretary to Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, has thrown his hat in the ring to force a four-way race with Katie Hall, Sarah Carter and Michael Clarke. Mr Porter, 33, said he saw the retirement of sitting MP Marsha Thomson as an opportunity to represent the area in which he grew up. “My family has been in the western suburbs for five generations, and while this is not a qualification in itself, it is home in so many ways,” he said. Mr Porter has singled out jobs as his top priority. He described the closure of the Toyota plant in Altona North and the flow-on impact to thousands of workers as “gut-wrenching”, pointing to similar concerns about the shedding of shipbuilding jobs at BAE in Williamstown. “They do have a large number of employees drawn from across the west broadly, with people in Footscray, particularly the Brooklyn, Sunshine and Sunshine West end,” he said. Since leaving his political roles, Mr Porter has served as a communications director for Indian mining giant Adani and an analyst with logistics and trucking powerhouse Linfox. He accepts that these roles may come under scrutiny but insists the attraction of both companies is their role in job creation.

ANDREW PORTER
“Just as I’ve been passionate about job creation while working in politics, I’ve been driven to seek roles in the private sector with companies focused on that same goal, in areas crying out for jobs.” Ms Thomson has spoken of her desire for another woman to step into the role, a situation Mr Porter has acknowledged. But he points to the likelihood of women being preselected to replace the retiring Wade Noonan in Williamstown and Telmo Languiller in Tarneit, as well as an expected increase in female representation in the western metropolitan upper house. “As someone who has worked for the first female prime minister of this country, I am fully keen to see equitable representation.” Footscray branch preselection voting takes place this Sunday and Monday night. The endorsed candidate is due to be known by November 15.

MY PLACE Graphic designer, photographer and bar owner Liana Lucca-Pope is in love with Footscray’s sense of community. She speaks with Benjamin Millar.
We wanted a place to live we could afford, felt real and unselfconscious, was close to the city and culturally interesting, not “white bread”. We kept meeting great people who lived inner west, so we came over on reccys, realised this was it and moved in 2008. What do you love most about the area? I fell madly in love, particularly with Footscray, very quickly. The first thing that struck was the sense of community, which I’d not experienced to this level before. I love the working class history, migrant influences and creative arts scene. There’s a down-to-earth quality, which I deeply appreciate and hope never changes. What are your favourite local places to spend time?
people who might be otherwise isolated working from home. Co-working spaces build and enrich communities, which fits well here where community is valued and space is at a premium. Why did you think Footscray was ready for Littlefoot, the bar? We knew Footscray needed a bar because we needed one and our local friends would light up when we suggested it. There were many great eateries, but for a nice bar you had to leave Footscray – and our goal was to never leave! We had lots of sceptics, mainly from other suburbs, but we were convinced there was a need … I guess the explosion of bars since has vindicated our belief. It does seem like a lot, though, so hopefully we can all survive. But we’re all very different to each other so I think it gives locals more variety and visitors more reasons to come.
Little Saigon Market was my favourite place and I’m still heartbroken it’s gone. I get pork banh mi from French Baguette, pho from Chu The, platters from Ras Dashen and ful from Konjo. I love the river and the grounds around the Footscray Community Arts Centre.
Who has been your biggest inspiration in life?
What can you tell us about your co-working space The Idea Collective?
What’s something people might be surprised to learn about you?
The Idea Collective was borne from my need and experiences as a sole trader. It’s about sustainably sharing space and supporting

A family fun day in late October will coincide with meet-and-greet sessions with management and educators to show families who are considering the home-based day care option what sets VIP apart from conventional day care providers.
Food trucks, a jumping castle, a petting zoo and refreshments will be part of the festivities on Sunday, October 29, from 11am-2pm. Group owner Angela Buttigieg says she is proud of the business she has built, the most successful family day care outfit in Victoria. “We have experienced staff, experienced management and ensure we have enough staff to monitor and maintain the homes,” she says. “At the end of the day, we make sure our educators are really caring, organised and focused individuals, with a passion for children’s welfare and education.” Angela says she set up the open day so families can see how VIP manages the administrative and management side of the business and so families can meet the

sterile environment you can come across in a traditional day care setting. “All educators are welcome to see what VIP Family Day Care can offer them, as well. Pop in for a cup of tea and a bikkie.” Kerri Pearson, an educator with VIP, says her own kids love it. “My parents, who are retired, even pop in and read the kids a book sometimes,” she says.

ltona RSL may be one of the most charitable clubs around – in five years, it’s given nearly $1,400,000 to the local community – but it’s also a top spot for dining, entertainment and all types of functions. A night to look out for, says club general manager David Hanson, is the Fleetwood Mac V ABBA Tribute Show, a ticketed event. “Coming up on Saturday, October 21, this tribute show promises to be a fantastic night,” David says. “If the rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk doesn’t have everyone on their feet, ABBA’s Dancing Queen surely will. “These bands were the biggest around in the ’80s and everyone knows the songs – they formed the essential musical backdrop to all our lives. “Even young people love these giants of the music industry, so the night will be buzzing.” Every Friday night and Sunday, the club has free live music or karaoke. Jason Singh, former frontman of rock band Taxiride, is a regular Sunday performer – see him next on November 26. Good food is big at the club, too. Gunners Bar & Bistro, open for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Sunday, offers up classic Aussie cuisine from the kitchen of head chef Chris Cox. Chris says the weekly specials board is always worth keeping an eye on, and most nights there’s a special theme to accompany the a la carte menu. “Our Saturday Steak & Crayfish night
is kicking goals,” he says. “It’s $70 for two people, comes with two glasses of wine, and is probably the most extravagant seafood offering you could find on a club menu. “But if that’s too big a hit on the wallet, we have our Seafood Night on Thursdays. For just $17, diners can tuck into a selection platter of flathead fillets, tempura prawns and plenty more choices.”
… the most extravagant seafood offering you could find on a club menu Tuesdays are Parma Nights, Wednesdays serve up Steak & Pot, and Sundays are all about a three-course carvery. From the regular menu, try a classic seafood cocktail for starters – fresh shrimp marinated in homemade sauce on crisp iceberg lettuce and with a king prawn on top. Lamb’s fry and bacon is a chef’s main course pick, as are gourmet beef sausages on creamy mash, served with vegies and golden-glazed shallot gravy. Pasta dishes are well represented and salad selections are hearty and fresh. The club puts on fab functions and a courtesy bus is free from Thursday to Sunday.

Bayside thrives on change, success
We are a pillar of everything that an excellent public school should be “We are really keen for the wider community to see the amazing work and results our students have produced,” Mr Harnett says. “We urge parents of prospective students to visit the college and speak to our wonderful teachers, as well as the parents who value the importance of excellence in all its approaches. “Our staff are our greatest asset. We have an established culture of professional learning, with staff working together to meet the needs of students in an ever-changing educational landscape. “On top of this, we have invested in the wellbeing of our students through our pastoral care program. “This aims to develop resilience and life
skills that will equip our students into the future.” Mr Harnett believes that word-of-mouth is one of the most powerful tools available to help the college make decisions. “Feedback in the past,” he explains, “has inadvertently questioned our standing in the community. I’m here to tell everyone that we are a pillar of everything that an excellent public school should be.” Mr Harnett answers some frequently asked questions: Who attends Bayside? The college community is made up of an ever-changing, diverse student population spread across three campuses in Newport, Williamstown and Altona North. Diversity is embraced and ensures inclusiveness for all students. A strong international student program draws students from across the world. How does Bayside rate in in-house departmental surveys? The college cares deeply about what our students and parents think about the school and welcomes feedback to maintain improvements. Current surveys show both parents and students are highly satisfied with their Bayside experiences. What tertiary pathways do students choose? Unlimited opportunities are available for Bayside students. They go on to further education at University of Melbourne, Deakin, Monash and Victoria universities,

ince the arrival of principal Andrew Harnett in 2010, Bayside P-12 College has embraced some significant transformational change, with heavy investments in educational programs, staff development and modern infrastructure at each of its three campuses. Mr Harnett says this has been evidenced through NAPLAN and VCE data highlighting the college as one of the strongest performing schools in the west, including growth in some areas stronger than the state.

as well as other interstate and overseas institutions. What sort of pathways have past students embarked upon? Like all great schools, the college produces students who have become successful in a variety of careers, such as medical, legal and education professions, along with a mix of trades and business.
What are Bayside’s year 12 results? Bayside’s VCE scores have always been strong. Last year, the median study score hit 30 – one of the highest in the region. However, the priority each year is not the score. Ultimately it is hoped all year 12 students – VCE and VCAL – are afforded the best chances possible to achieve individual goals and dreams at the end of their secondary education.

When Neville, her husband of 61 years announced his decision to move to Baptcare Wyndham Lodge Community, Margo Kendall, 81, said she had no concerns about his choice and is adamant her long history with the site is not what influenced how highly she rates the aged care facility.
They look after you so well here. Really, the staff couldn’t be better... “Neville and I have nothing but praise for Wyndham Lodge,” she says. “What Baptcare has achieved is amazing. We could never have imagined we’d have such a lovely building – but it’s the people who work and live inside the building who make it really special. “Right from the start, Baptcare really listened to the locals and set about making Wyndham Lodge a true resident-first homeaway-from-home. The staff are incredible, so respectful and friendly – nothing ever seems too much to ask. Over the years, I’ve visited many aged care facilities and most of them claim great care – such as 24/7 nurse attendance – but it’s my observation that very few really deliver. I know what to look out for. “I also love how families are always welcome to visit. This year on AFL grand final day, whole families got together in the dining room to cheer on the teams. It was a hoot! The staff had as much fun as we did.
“Wyndham Lodge grew from community grassroots volunteering – particularly from the Werribee Lions Club.” “The Ladies Auxiliary was formed to fundraise and help, along with many other Werribee locals. I believe Werribee is very proud of both its history and its present. We have an aged care home that actually does care and does make people happy. How good is that?” In 2012, when the community needed a partner to continue the running of Wyndham Lodge, Baptcare was all too willing to assist and redeveloped the existing 30 bed facility to a 150 bed aged care community. NEVILLE’S STORY Neville Kendall, who Margo describes as “a delight to be married to”, took up residence about four months ago, following a nine-week stint in hospital. “I was ready to make the move, not that I wasn’t a little nervous,” Neville tells. “Leaving my home and moving in here was a minor shock to the system, of course, but it didn’t take long to settle in. “They look after you so well here. Really, the staff couldn’t be better, I couldn’t ask for more. They’re happy people, and friendly. Everything you want is here and it really does feel like home. “It’s all come full circle – from ‘shaking cans’ for beds to having a great bed myself.” Baptcare Wyndham Lodge Community, 120 Synnot Street, Werribee.

One-stop-shop for food producers S
tart Food-Tech is Australia’s leading equipment supplier to the meat, fish and poultry industry. It has grown from its humble beginnings to become a leader in food processing tools and equipment, along with hygiene supplies, safety-wear, packaging and thermometers. Those in the food processing industry will find everything they need at Start Food-Tech, including processing knives, sharpening equipment, gloves, hair nets, aprons, cleaning supplies and more. General manager Andrew Huhn says the business supplies to large processing facilities, as well as butchers, delis and fish retailers. “We service the industry on a larger, commercial scale, but what people don’t realise is that our Laverton North warehouse has a retail showroom, where you can walk in and purchase what you need on the spot,” he says. “It’s a great option for delis, butchers and cafes in the area. “We all know that the food industry is faced-paced and sometimes you need things last minute.” The showroom is open from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Andrew says Start Food-Tech focuses on going the extra mile to make sure their customers get the tools they need in a timely manner, no matter how unusual the request. The business has enjoyed steady growth since opening in 1999, thanks to an attitude focused on down-to-earth honesty
and getting the job done with as little fuss as possible. With an extensive selection of knives, sharpening stones, steels and machinery, as well as a full range meat trade tools and accessories, butchers, chefs and food producers will love the showroom. “Often when it comes to machinery and even kitchen knives, people in the hospitality industry and food-related business think they need to go to the city or make an order that could take days or weeks to get what they need,” Andrew says.
It’s a great option for delis, butchers and cafes in the area... walk in and purchase on the spot “But we’re open business hours every day of the working week and would love to get to know operators and their businesses from around the local area. “Processing and chefs knives, gloves, aprons, hair nets, gumboots, cleaning supplies, packaging supplies, knife sharpeners, thermometers and calibrations, crates and tubs – we stock it all.” Start Food-Tech Australia, Warehouse 2, 9-19 Leakes Road Laverton North.

Safety the hot tip for Cup weekend O
ver the Melbourne Cup long weekend, Victoria Police will be out in force for Operation Furlong, which will run from Friday, November 3, to Tuesday, November 7. Road policing advisor Michael Baulch says Operation Furlong will be conducted throughout Victoria by all operational police in all police areas during the five days, using all available personnel from local highway patrol units, general duties police members and other police units. Acting Senior Sergeant Baulch says it is anticipated large numbers of people will use Victorian roads during the holiday weekend. “People will often be driving long distances in unfamiliar driving conditions,” he says. “The times of highest risk are when people are leaving for holiday destinations and returning home.” Police will be targeting the main causes of fatalities and serious injuries in crashes, which are: • Excessive speed • Driver distraction • Restraint non-compliance • Fatigue • Impaired driving (alcohol and/or drug) Motorists are being requested to stay within speed limits, not to drink alcohol or take drugs and drive, leave mobile phones out of reach, wear seatbelt/child restraints and make sure they are well rested. Speed cameras will be used in known high-collision locations. “Fatigue is one of the biggest killers on Victorian roads,” Acting Senior Sergeant
Baulch says. “Drivers are requested to plan their trip, be patient and ensure they take at least a 15-minute break at least every two hours and not to drive if tired. “Road trauma isn’t just about the people who die – it’s about the enormous impact on the community, from the family members, to the emergency services workers who have to deal with these tragedies on a daily basis, to the police who have to deliver the devastating news to loved ones.
All of the community has a responsibility and a role to play in reducing road trauma “All of the community has a responsibility and a role to play in reducing road trauma.” RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council chairman Jim Giddings says it has been demonstrated time after time that speed is a contributing factor in most road crashes. “Stay within the speed limit and drive to suit the conditions you face,” he says. “Speeding affects both the risk of a crash happening and the severity of injuries sustained when a crash does happen. “Before embarking on any driving trips drivers should check their tyres, windscreen washers, brakes and lights.” He is asking the community to report speeding drivers to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Altona haven with top local flavours M
osaic Restaurant on Pier Street in Altona offers a wonderful dining experience – set close to the beach and run by locals for locals. Originally, as a result of three families from different cultures combining their ideas of what it would take to create a quality dining establishment in the area – thus the name – Mosaic Restaurant was opened more than eight years ago and today is thriving. Now solely owned by Altona-born Donna and Andrew Sagor, one of the original families that created the concept, Mosaic is a multi-award winning restaurant and they couldn’t be more proud. “Both of our sons work at Mosaic so we are a true family business,” Donna says. “I was born in Altona, so the restaurant really is owned and operated by locals for locals.” Mosaic offers cuisine Donna describes as Mediterranean with contemporary Australian influences. “We have a great wine selection and are excited to throw ourselves into functions season, with our really popular Christmas Luncheon and the New Years’ Eve Party, which will be masquerade this year. It’s always so much fun,” Donna says. “We’re always looking for ways to create great experiences for our loyal locals.” One example of this is the popular paella night held every Wednesday. “We have a traditional Spanish guitarist playing – he plays with double bassists,” Donna says. “It’s a great vibe – especially when it gets warmer. Hot nights, paella ... it’s a nice way to unwind.”

Donna says many of Mosaic’s loyal staff members have been with them for years and are like family. “My staff are fantastic,” she says. “We really focus on excellent service, which is such a big part of the dining experience. “Our chefs are very creative and dedicated to providing dishes of high quality and freshness.”
Our really popular Christmas Luncheon and the New Years’ Eve Party ... always so much fun Donna says the Tapas platters are always a favourite, with a variety of items such as arancini balls, lamb skewers, saganaki, salt and pepper calamari and slow-cooked Hickory Plum pork, which is given an 18 hour preparation time. “Our cocktail and wine list is very extensive, and there is something for everyone to enjoy,” Donna says. Mosaic is taking Christmas lunch bookings now, and Donna recommends people book in early so they don’t miss out. Function packages are available and are designed to be flexible so the team can make sure every occasion a memorable one for their customers. Mosaic Restaurant, 48 Pier Street Altona.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir expands his boundaries and is pleasantly surprised There are many interesting eating experiences to be had in the more outlying and rural areas beyond Melbourne’s western suburbs, but CTS has only, over the years, fitfully explored them. Honestly, most often the greater west seems quite vast enough for us. But sometimes, things simply click. In this case, a pal posts online some pics of her family’s up-country Saturday lunch – and we are intrigued and excited. Next morning, off we go! Into the hills and eventually the depths of Lerderderg State Park. The gravel-roaded approach to our eating destination is through dense forest, leading me to envisage our lunch may be of the log cabin variety. But no … the trees eventually give way to a more trimmed and tidy rural scene. The cafe itself is in a modern but cosy building off from the nursery, surrounded by lovely gardens and looking out on to a small lake or dam. The menu, no surprise, is cafe-style tucker split into a range of small share plates, two larger share items and a handful of desserts. Twice-cooked wedges of potato with herbed mayo ($10.50) are fine and very hot. The serve eats bigger than it looks – a recurring theme. A pet CTS dislike are those dodgy and dull Turkish rolls served in so many cafes. So I am delighted to learn the Turkish bread listed online as accompanying the shared braised, spiced meatball dish ($29.50) has been
BLACKWOOD RIDGE CAFE & LARDER Address: 812 Greenhills Road, Blackwood Phone: 5368 6707 replaced by couscous. All is very good. The half-dozen meatballs are chewy and fragrant, and – again – offer more substantial eating than appears may be the case. The currant-studded couscous is marvellous, as are the salad offerings and the rich, sticky tomato sauce. Blackened carrots ($12.90), in a variety of colours and textures, are served with nigella and sunflowers seeds, and topped with coriander and tahini labneh, all lubricated by honey. Parsnip pudding ($13.9) has real-deal parsnip flavour to go with its ginger, currants and spices. It’s served with vanilla crème anglaise and “our own lemon thyme and creme fraiche ice-cream”. This is the stuff of sweet dreams. Brioche bread and butter pudding ($14.50) is every bit as good, served with candied blood orange, manuka honey crunch, mandarin crisps and almond praline. This pair of wonders, and a couple of good cafe lattes, cap off a superb meal in a wonderful setting.

70 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ OCTOBER 18, 2017
SPORT Altona follows first-up win with a hiccup Altona has experienced a mixed bag so far in Bowls Victoria premier division. The A’s undid all the hard work of their first-round win in an 81-70 loss to Melbourne at Civic Parade on Saturday. The rinks were split two apiece, but Melbourne comfortably had the better overall score, reaping 14 points to four. The four points were enough for Altona to remain fourth, ahead of a trip this Saturday to Essendon, also on 1-1. Yarraville-Footscray is one of only two undefeated teams left in the premier division after two rounds. The Bulldogs had a memorable 83-65 road win over Bundoora RSL on Saturday. The three-rink-to-one victory saw the Bulldogs claim 16 points to two. Yarraville-Footscray will play away to MCC, one of six teams with a 1-1 record so far, on Saturday.
IN THE DOGHOUSE
In division 2, Altona Sports was like a wrecking ball going through Williamstown in a 125-49 win at home. The ladder-leading Sports are a perfect two-from-two with 34 points and a score difference of plus-105. In division 3, Rosamond had a tough time of it in an 82-53 away loss to Deer Park, but remains high on the ladder in third. In division 4, Footscray Park had a narrow 98-91 victory over Newport for a 2-0 start to the season. Altona North beat Altona Sports (2) in a derby 90-67, while Laverton enjoyed an 83-70 win over Williamstown (2).
■ While
it is not unusual for cricket to have a delayed start to the season, the weather gods were kind last weekend and the normally unpredictable Caulfield Cup weekend is also looking good. Adam Contessa hit the turf running for the Yarraville Club Cricket Club with a man of the match performance with bat and ball in his side’s match against Greenvale Kangaroos in the VTCA seniors. His 4-11 with the ball was backed up with an unbeaten 33 as the Clubbers cruised to victory. Werribee skipper Tim O’Brien made 93, but it was not enough to prevent a loss to Preston in sub-district north/west 1st XI.
Lance Jenkinson Altona skip Dane McKinnon keeps a close eye on the action on Saturday. (Damjan Janevski)
■ Travis
Dean is keeping his name in the national selectors’ minds with a century for Victoria in the national JLT limited overs competition. The former Australian under-19 representative has been in solid form throughout the series with just two scores under 30 in seven at bats. While Australia’s top order is pretty stable at Test level, there are always opportunities opening up at the other levels. Hopefully, Travis can maintain his form and get a chance at higher honours.
■ Women’s
football shows no signs of slowing down, with clubs racing to sign players, coaches and staff for the coming season. The VFL expansion – with a Williamstown team coming in and the Western Spurs to become the Western Bulldogs – opens up even more pathways for female players. In local football, all clubs are gearing up to increase their female participation, with Spotswood advertising for a senior women’s coach. Level 1 accreditation is preferred, which shows how seriously clubs now are taking this whole process. Details: via administrator Annette McLaren at admin@ spotswoodfc.com.au
Balla is ready to rumble By Lance Jenkinson Western suburbs boxer Ibrahim Balla is ready to take his talents to the world. Balla has achieved just about all he can in Australia, in both amateur and professional ranks. “I’ve pretty much conquered Australia,” Balla said. “I think it’s time to move on to the bigger titles and represent Australia in the professional ranks internationally.” Of course, Balla is no stranger to the pressure of international competition. The 27-year-old, who trains at The Gym Yarraville, had a decorated amateur career, making it all the way to the Olympic Games in London 2012, where he bowed out in the round of 16. Balla turned professional in 2013 and has featured in 13 fights for a 12-1 record. In three local title fights, Balla won the Victorian super bantamweight title, Australian super bantamweight title and the Australian featherweight title.
He clipped a hurdle in his first international professional title fight last year, losing to Neil John Tabanao, of the Philippines, in a challenge for the vacant WBO Oriental featherweight title, but that did not deter him. “I definitely had a stumble,” said Balla, who lives in Rockbank. “It just shows the type of character I am – after a defeat like that, to get back in the gym so quickly and have another fight. “It makes you more hungry and more stronger as a person, mentally and physically. “It makes you bite down on your mouth guard a bit harder and train harder and fight harder.” Balla, who is trained by Lim Jeka and refined by strength and conditioning coach Dirk Lamb, has won his three fights since that defeat to Tabanao and is ready to hit the international stage again. Hoppers Crossing-raised Balla will square off with undefeated Tanzanian boxer Salimu Jengo for the vacant WBA Oceania featherweight title in the Punches at the Park 6 event at the
Melbourne Park Function Centre on Saturday night. If Balla can win this fight, he will move into the top 15 of the WBA rankings. “I’m taking that step up the ladder and really excited for this fight to show my worth as a professional,” he said. “It motivates me more to get that title and also that top 15 spot. “You can make big moves after that – it puts you in the spotlight internationally. “But we’re not taking him lightly at all. We’re ready for pretty much anything on the night … if I’m at my best, I don’t think there’s anyone in the world that can beat me.” Balla is looking forward to putting on a show for his home fans. “We’ll get a big crowd from my hometown Melbourne and the western suburbs,” he said. “I’ve had three good wins coming into this fight, so my confidence levels are at an all-time high right now and I think I’ll be able to produce the win on the night.” Tickets are available through The Gym Yarraville.

friends of Kevin Harrington got the inside information on last Sunday’s Cranbourne Cup winner Folkswood, as Kevin has connections of the horse staying at his Quest Werribee apartments. Werribee is a good place to get some insights into the spring’s international runners with many visitors only too willing to talk up their equine insider positions. The international breakfast with the stars at Werribee Racing Club will be held on Thursday, November 2. Bookings are available through the club.

Home-grown coach a win for fed-up Reds Laverton Park not only took out the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 5 west title this season – the club took its first steps on the path to a sustainable future. The Reds were starting to become an irrelevance in the grand scheme, relegated to the state league’s bottom tier where the smaller clubs operate or the expansion clubs begin their journey. Enough was enough for the Reds in 2017. They appointed the well-credentialled and home-grown Alfonso Opazo to take over as coach, heralding an instant shift in expectations from the board down. Opazo needed the committee to back his work in the transfer market and the players to buy into his philosophies. The title – clinched with a 9-0 penultimate round win over Maidstone United – was the icing on the cake. “That was a pretty special day,” Opazo said. “A big crowd came out that day and a lot of
supporters that haven’t been to the club for years, which was good to see. “That was the plan from day one, but to actually go out and do it is special.” This was no ordinary mission for Opazo. Not only did he want to see his junior club thriving once more, he also wanted to follow in the footsteps of his dad, Alfonso snr. Alfonso snr won the title as a player with Laverton Park back in 1975 – the last time the Reds won a league title. Laverton Park did it in style this season. The entertaining Reds scored 69 goals, the most in the competition, and conceded 18, the best of any defence. “One thing I pride my teams on is that attacking flair and scoring goals,” Opazo said. “Being an attacking player when I played, I try to follow that same aggressive approach in regards to attacking and pressuring from the front and putting teams on the back foot.
“When we needed to defend, we all defended together.” While Opazo delivered the title, it was the professionalism he instilled back into the club that will be his legacy should he move on. Opazo is weighing up coaching offers from other clubs and needs to sit down with his family to discuss his future. He has not ruled out a return to Laverton Park, but should that not eventuate, he is comfortable with the state of the club. “To bring in a whole new side and win the title is great,” he said. “But to bring the supporters back who were starving for their side to be competitive, the club hadn’t been competitive for years – that’s satisfying from my perspective.” Lance Jenkinson Laverton Park’s Zia Sherzai soars high for the header.

Big kicks for Tayla By Lance Jenkinson A taekwondo demonstration at a school fete set Tayla Eckley on a path to glory. Eckley was eight years old at the time and interested enough to try out with City West Taekwondo. One session and she was hooked. Now 16, Eckley is a three-time junior club champion, has represented Victoria on the national stage and Australia on the international stage, and treats the people at City West like an extended family. “When I was little, I went to a school fete and I saw a taekwondo demonstration by City West Taekwondo,” she said. “ I found it really interesting, so I decided I wanted to try it. “Since then I’ve been training with Frank De Pasquale, my head instructor. “Ever since my first lesson … I just felt an instant connection with the sport and the club.” Eckley kick-started her taekwondo career with three junior club champion awards. The Hoppers Crossing resident has won more than 50 gold medals in competitions ranging from club to state to national – and even an Oceania title. Her biggest achievements came at the Australian Open in 2015, at which she glistened in gold after a stellar performance, and last year, when she brought home gold from the Oceania championships in Fiji. It was that Australian Open victory that confirmed in Eckley’s mind that she belonged in the elite company on the national stage. “After I won that medal, it really helped me realise that I wanted to continue to push myself and to compete,” she said, “and that I wanted to travel and compete at some bigger competitions.” Undoubtedly the high mark of Eckley’s career to date was her gold medal at the Oceania championships. It was the first time Eckley had travelled overseas for competition and she took the event by storm. “It was a very different experience going overseas to compete,” she said. “I was in completely new surroundings and had different people with me, so it was very nerve-racking going all that way for a competition. It was a huge honour to be able to represent my country.” Eckley, who receives tremendous support from her dad, Lee, and mum, Viola, has big goals. She wants to return to the Oceania championships to defend her title. The biggest event on Eckley’s radar is the world championships. Eckley will aim for 2018, but if that does not eventuate, the 2020 worlds will be right in her wheelhouse. “I’ll keep working with my coach and my instructors to keep improving my strength and my athleticism,” she said.

Eckley recently returned from this year’s national championships in Bendigo after missing out on gold by “less than one-tenth of a point”. She got to compete in pairs events with club mate James Hird, claiming silver, and with her sister, Keira, taking out bronze. Eckley is the October nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star award.

The award, hosted by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club and Star Weekly Weekly, recognises youth athletes from the western suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at state and or national levels. Eckley will receive $1000, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club. She will also receive other prizes to assist her in achieving her sports goals.
Yarraville has produced a remarkable run chase to beat Ivanhoe by two wickets in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association north-west group season opener at the Yarraville Oval on Saturday. The Eagles found containment hard with the ball early on, coughing up 8-237 to Ivanhoe off 45 overs. Nathan Allen (2-36) and Mitchell Cross (2-62) were the Eagles only multiple wicket takers. Yarraville got off to a flyer thanks to Matthew Love (52) and Matthew Harrison (48). The Eagles openers put on 72 for the first wicket before Love was run out. Love’s aggressive knock including 11 fours. The strength of Yarraville’s innings was its ability to share of the workload, with eight batsmen reaching double figures, including No. 8 Josh Turner, who made 36 not out. Williamstown was in total control in a six-wicket win over Coburg at the Williamstown Cricket Ground. In a stellar bowling and fielding performance, the Seagulls restricted the Burgers to a gettable 9-127. The Seagulls had no trouble reaching the target with 10.3 overs to spare with veterans Dale McDonald (60no) and Craig Sheedy (37no) leading the way. Altona had the most comfortable win of all, downing St Bernard’s by eight wickets. The A’s cruised to the 74 target with the loss of just two wickets. Shannon Clarke was the A’s standout on the day with 3-9 off seven overs. In Premier Cricket, Dylan Kight fired with a century as Footscray chased down a tough target to beat Northcote by five wickets at Merv Hughes Oval. Set 212 for victory, the Bulldogs reached the mark with 15 balls to spare. Earlier in the day, Tim Buszard had a hand in six dismissals for Footscray, snaring 4-33 and taking two catches.

Ambitious Spotswood welcomes the next challenge There is a groundswell of confidence in the direction of the Spotswood Cricket Club’s women’s section. Doors are starting to open for the Woodswomen, who were granted promotion to the Shield competition, the highest grade in the Women’s Community Cricket Competition, despite finishing in the semi-final last season. The Twenty20 champions of last season will now be front and centre on the main ground at McLean Reserve, having spent most of its time playing on the bottom ground at the venue. The future is looking brighter with the Woodswomen devoting more time and effort into growing the junior girls section. To top it all off, new coach Tracey Gleeson,
with more than 35 years experience in the game, has arrived this summer to share her experience. Promotion into the Shield competition has already had the desired effect for Spotswood. “They were happy to put us up because they want us to progress as a club,” Gleeson said. “We want to attract more players and the higher we get, the more likelihood we have of attracting players to the club. “This year the girls will be playing on the main ground at Spotswood, rather than the bottom ground. “We said to the club that it’s time, if you want us to start attracting players, we need to be using the best of the facilities that we’ve got.”
Is Spotswood ready to the challenges that will present in the Shield competition? The Woodswomen’s narrow defeat to highly rated Mt Martha in their first game on Saturday would suggest the team is ready. Gleeson was prepared to go a step further and say that finals should be the aim for the Woodswomen. “My aspirations are finals and I think the girls are quite capable of making the finals,” she said. “There’s two strong clubs from last year, Frankston and Mount Martha, but I believe we’ll give all teams a good run for their money with the calibre of girls that we’ve got.” Gleeson has retained Kim Borg as captain for
this season. Borg was stellar with the ball last season, taking an incredible 41 wickets at 5.9. “Kim did a fantastic job last year, got them to the semi-finals and won the T20 final, so I can’t see why we can’t work together,” Gleeson said. “She’s a good cricketer, so I was happy for Kim to stay on as captain.” Spotswood is still on the lookout for more female players – both in the women’s and girls. The Woodswomen fell just short of the numbers required for a second team, but they still intend to field a Twenty20 side. “There’s still a possibility for a second team in the Twenty20 comp,” Gleeson said.

Women spurred on by new pathway
Crusaders trained to win By Lance Jenkinson This Western Crusaders team will forever be remembered as The Invincibles. No matter what challenge was thrust before the Crusaders, they rose to meet it head on in an all-conquering 2017 Gridiron Victoria division 1 season. The undefeated Crusaders sealed their first top-tier title since 2007 and fourth overall with a commanding 30-9 win over rivals Melbourne University Royals in Vic Bowl XXXIII at MacPherson Park in Melton on Saturday. Crusaders coach Craig Wilson lauded the level-headed nature of his team. “It’s amazing,” he said of the season. “They’ve put in a massive year and to stay focused for that amount of time is a pretty massive achievement. “The guys lifted to the occasion and believed in themselves.” The Crusaders’ flawless season was built on the back of hard work and preparation. The coaches worked hard after games to cut film up and armed their players with the most knowledge they could provide. “I basically got film up within 24 hours after the game, so the guys got a full week of preparation and were not waiting until the Wednesday night training session before the boys start thinking about it,” Wilson said. “By the time we roll around to the game, the guys really know our opponents before they walk through the door on game day, so it allows people to relax and just get on with the job.”

There was no looking back for the Crusaders in the Vic Bowl once D.J. Battistella intercepted the ball with the game’s opening touchdown. The Crusaders were after a fast start to break the Royals’ momentum following their stunning upset of Monash Warriors in the semi-final a week earlier. Again, the Crusaders did their homework. The Royals have match-winning players, but they were kept relatively quiet. “They have a great wide receiver, a great running back and a great tight end, but we
had a game plan for each one of those players,” Wilson said. “We knew what their quarterback wanted to do and we had him in our sights too.” With the exception of a couple of interceptions thrown by quarterback Andrew Healy, the Crusaders hit all the right notes. Even with those nervous throws, Healy made up for it with his damaging running game. Defensively, the Crusaders have been stubborn this season, and were so once again in the Vic Bowl. They conceded 10 points or fewer in each of the past seven games and kept up that record in the big dance. Jnala Saluni, the competition’s defensive player of the year, was once again at the forefront of the Crusaders defence, working well with Battistella, Ken Bennett and Harrison Delai. The Crusaders have been powerful offensively this season too. Crusaders running back Samuel Delai must have been close to the grand final MVP award, but was perhaps a carry or two short. “I think the whole offensive line was fantastic,” Wilson said. “They were a really strong unit all year to be honest.” Wing back Tyson Garnham completed a magical season with a best-afield effort in the decider. He was named the league’s MVP for 2017. “His nickname is the Little Bull, that’s what the boys call him and it sums him up,” Wilson said. “He gives you everything he’s got.”
The landscape of women’s football in the west is set to undergo dramatic change next season. The VFL Women’s competition will feature two western suburbs clubs – one newly formed and another re-branded. VU Western Spurs have long been identified as the key driver of women’s football in this part of town. The Spurs will continue to do their development work in the region with four teams still playing under that banner, but the most talented players will filter through the Western Bulldogs, which will enter into the VFLW competition in 2018. A joint partnership between the Spurs and the Bulldogs has grown in the past three seasons. The VFLW team will now be called Western Bulldogs, it will wear the famous red, white and blue colours, while playing matches at both the Victoria University Whitten Oval and Henry Turner Reserve. Western Bulldogs director of football Chris Grant said it was a natural evolution between the clubs. “The partnership will allow female players to enter the system at youth girls level and have a pathway through to the Bulldogs VFLW team, and potentially the Bulldogs AFLW team,” he said. “It also allows us to develop players, coaches, strength and conditioning staff and volunteers 12 months of the year, with opportunities for those in the Spurs system to receive exposure to the elite AFLW level to fast-track their development.” VU Western Spurs president Karen Hayes said the partnership will make smooth the transition from local football to the big time for the west’s top talent. “The VU Western Spurs are very excited to be building on the already successful three-year partnership we have enjoyed with the Western Bulldogs to now create clear pathways into the VFLW and AFLW,” she said. “This will establish a great foundation for our community club.” AFL Victoria has also announced that Williamstown will be admitted into the VFLW in 2018, along with Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond and St Kilda. Werribee has signalled its intentions to have a VFLW licence by 2019. In the Western Region Football League, Yarraville-Seddon has appointed Vinnie Turcinovich as its new senior coach for 2018. West Footscray has named Jerome Currie as its inaugural women’s coach with Leigh Ritchie to be his assistant. Lance Jenkinson
