Spooky fun at home Halloween isn’t cancelled, with children able to enjoy a special treat during the COVID-19 lockdown. Seaholme Primary School pupil, Maya, 9, guest stars in the popular Oliver and Lucas YouTube channel as part of a special show for October 31. Oliver, 7, and Lucas, 3, have released several videos and invited Maya to help inspire others to celebrate at home with a Halloween garden party. Even pet cavoodle, Mr Snickers, features in the videos packed with science experiments, including a spooky dry-ice cauldron, baking soda volcano, Coke and Mentos rockets and slime-making tutorials. The YouTube channel was created by Genwa Rafeh, a self-described “frustrated mum” during the Melbourne lockdowns. “We were at home, we were quite depressed and, I guess, negative. “So, I started doing fun things and then we thought, why not document these fun things. It skyrocketed … we had people in South America, in Canada, in the Middle East, in Israel, everywhere we had subscribers. It took off.” Details: www.youtube.com/c/ oliverandlucas/ LUCAS, MAYA AND OLIVER

Army joins beach patrol By Goya Dmytryshchak Summer policing at Altona and Williamstown beaches will be like no other year as the state grapples with COVID-19. Hobsons Bay Inspector Tim O’Connor said previous years had focused on ensuring a strong visible police presence. “We don’t know what this summer’s going to bring,” he said. “Obviously, we’re thinking about what the chief health officer guidelines are going to be and what impact they’re going to have on summer policing. I think it’s more moving away
from that public order response to incorporate more of a public safety response.” The federal government has provided the services of the Australian Defence Force to assist police. “Hobsons Bay, or the beachfront at Williamstown and Altona, has been identified as one of those key locations where the three branches of the armed services are working side by side with Vic Pol as we patrol the foreshore areas,” Inspector O’Connor said. The Maribyrnong River, Werribee and CBD are among other locations where armed forces are patrolling.
Inspector O’Connor said there would still be a strong police presence but a balance had to be struck between public order and public safety. Earlier this month, a woman was dramatically arrested at Altona Beach in an incident widely shared on social media. She and other members of a group were issued with infringement notices for breaching chief health officer guidelines, including failing to wear a mask and being further than five kilometres from home. “It don’t think it was a huge kerfuffle, it was a couple of people that got a bit antsy and they were dealt with by police,” Inspector O’Connor
said. “I don’t think it was a huge issue. It was just a couple of people who weren’t complying with the guidelines and they were dealt with.” Inspector O’Connor said Hobsons Bay’s beaches attracted people from across the northwest and, depending on the health guidelines, police had to ensure everyone could enjoy the amenities and operate together. He said police were working closely with Hobsons Bay council and traders. “I want to be able to provide a strong visible police presence so that families or anyone can actually just come down the beach, within the guidelines, and just enjoy themselves,” Inspector O’Connor said.

Light at the end of the coronavirus tunnel Long-awaited trips to the hairdresser and reuniting with friends and family in public are among the freedoms that inner-west residents can enjoy again as Melbourne’s restrictions ease this week. Metropolitan Melbourne has taken its second step towards COVID normal after Victoria recorded four new cases of coronavirus and one additional death on Monday – its sixth consecutive day of less than 10 new cases. Melbourne’s total number of cases dropped to 101 and the rolling 14-day average to 7.2 on Monday, just shy of the five case target needed
to comfortably reopen retail according to the state’s roadmap out of the pandemic. Hobsons Bay still has a dozen active cases and Maribyrnong has dropped to just four. Two high-risk locations have been identified in Hobsons Bay after an active case shopped in store on October 5 at Fiesta Market on The Circle from 10.13-10.30am and Aldi Altona North from 6.34pm-6.55pm. Florence Aged Care Facility in Altona North has no active cases out of a total 47, while Opal Hobsons Bay in Altona North has one active case remaining out of a total 46.
In significant changes to social restrictions, Premier Daniel Andrews on Sunday announced the five-kilometre travel radius would be increased to 25 kilometres. Other changes to rules include no time limit on leaving home, but the four reasons for leaving home remain in place, and outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people from two households (children under 12 months of age not included). Hairdressers can reopen with strict rules on operation and all allied health professionals already operating can resume face-to-face care.
Defying an invisible enemy
Sports and recreational activities can resume, with indoor pools allowed for one-on-one hydrotherapy with a health professional and outdoor pools limits increased to 30 swimmers Outdoor sport settings can also reopen as can skate parks, golf courses and tennis courts. But retail and hospitality businesses will be forced to wait until November 1 before they can reopen. “I’m not doing what’s popular, I’m doing what’s safe,” Mr Andrews said on Sunday.

Hybrid house plan rejected
By Goya Dmytryshchak He flew a Lancaster bomber over Dresden in World War II, but the father of Williamstown world boxing champion Barry Michael is now facing an invisible enemy. Leonard Swettenham last week celebrated his 97th birthday in a nursing home with his son able to visit in personal protective equipment. Michael spoke to Star Weekly about the constant threat of COVID-19, which thankfully had not entered his father’s facility, Westgate Aged Care in Newport. “It’s been a tough fight, it’s been a tough battle,” Michael said. “It was extremely hard on dad for a long time. It took him a long time to accept what was going on because he’s 97 and trying to explain to him coronavirus and what’s going on; he just couldn’t get it.

“I used to take him out every second day … and I couldn’t do that anymore. “Hard times for everyone one. I feel so sorry for people who have had serious mental issues.” Michael said he and his wife Sue had previously been visiting his father through a window every second day, but were able to finally able to hug him on his birthday. “He was rapt because we were allowed to see him face-to -ace and hug him for the first time in four months,” Michael said. “We took a nice chocolate cake in and I got him a new watch and he was over the moon. “Dad was in the Lancaster bombers. He did 29 trips over Germany. He bombed Dresden when they wiped Dresden off the face of the earth – he still breaks down and cries about that, what they did to Dresden. “His nickname was Butch for butcher because he used to drop the bombs.
Plans to build a seven-storey residential and commercial development in the heart of Seddon have been rejected over concerns about the project’s lack of parking and overall impact. Plans for “Hybrid House”, slated for the Victoria Street site now occupied by Hollibone Funerals, proposed three street level shopfronts topped by 19 residential units. The project promised an “environmental focus”, featuring bike storage space, scooter and ebike charging spaces, and a rooftop garden and running track. But the proposal triggered community opposition due to its scale, impact on neighbourhood character and failure to provide any on-site parking. Maribyrnong council last week issued a notice of refusal to grant planning approval for the project, citing a series of concerns with the proposal. These included a “poor transition in built form to surrounding properties” and failure to “respond to the existing urban context and to the preferred future development of the area”. The proposal was also said to have failed to provide for residential uses at densities complementary to the role and scale of Seddon’s commercial centre. The council’s planning services director Nigel Higgins said the decision took into account the proposed seven-story height of the building and the intensity of the development, which is proposed to accommodate 19 dwellings with no on-site car parking provision. The permit applicant has 60 days to lodge an appeal with the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal.

Road rage victim speaks out By Goya Dmytryshchak The victim of a vicious daylight road rage attack in Altona has spoken out after suffering a fractured jaw in the unprovoked assault. Tony Bacon, 65, said he was driving along Queen Street, towards Altona, when a car started tailgating him last Wednesday shortly before 2pm. “The three cars in front of me were doing 65km/h, so I was doing 65, and he’s right up my butt – like, I’m talking two feet – and moving backwards and forwards trying to make out like he’s trying to get around me,“ Mr Bacon
‘‘
I was king hit to the side of the head
’’
- Tony Bacon
said. “I put my brake lights on a couple of times to try to tell him to back off, which didn’t do much.” Mr Bacon said when the vehicles got to the corner of Maidstone Street, the other car overtook him “with a dangerous manoeuvre” and “pulled up abruptly”. “I just about smashed into the back of him
but I stopped probably a couple of inches off his bumper bar,” Mr Bacon said. An altercation ensued and a male passenger got out of the other car and abused him. “When I turned my head to address him, I was king hit to the side of the head,” Mr Bacon said. “Then, when I fell onto my bonnet and I came back, he gave me an upper cut to the underside of my left jaw and I thought, ‘Oh my God’.” Mr Bacon has reported the incident to Altona police. He described the car as a 2004 Ford Falcon sedan in a dark metallic green colour. He remembers the first three letters of
the registration were IIE. He said the driver was about 193 centimetres, of slim build, Caucasian, with short black hair, clean shaven and was wearing a dark tracksuit top and dark pants. His passenger was about 160 centimetres, average build, Caucasian, with long blond wavy hair and wearing a cream-coloured T-shirt. Both offenders are believed to have been aged in their late 20s or early 30s. Mr Bacon underwent CT scans and treatment at hospital. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 300 000.

The face of Altona’s main shopping strip is about to change after three adjoining multi-storey dwellings were approved on appeal by the state’s planning tribunal. The former Aero Wash n Fuel service station and car wash at 102-106 Pier Street was bulldozed in 2018 to make way for residential development with retail on the ground level. Hobsons Bay council had refused three applications to build a five-torey building on each of the three parcels of land that make up the site.
The council argued that pursuing three separate applications across the five lots “leads to cumulative impacts that degrade the Pier Street streetscape, has unacceptable external amenity impacts and provides unacceptable standards of internal amenity for future residents”. Destino Investments last week won an appeal at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to build two five-storey buildings and one four-storey building on the site. A permit condition was included requiring the building
100 CD's TO BE WON
at 102 Pier Street be reduced to four storeys to address the overshadowing impacts on teh backyards of the adjoining dwellings to the south. Each development will comprise ground level retail and car parking at grade and in vehicle stackers. A mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments are proposed at the upper levels. In overruling the council’s refusal, VCAT senior member Laurie Hewet said the site was in an activity centre that had “experienced significant transformation in recent years
resulting from a succession of multi-storey mixed-use developments along both sides of the northern part of Pier Street”. “These developments are strategically appropriate given the activity centre’s locational attributes and the planning scheme’s encouragement for that level of development,” he said. An adjacent site at 108 Pier Street has been granted a permit for a five-storey, 19-dwelling apartment block. Goya Dmytryshchak

Waste a big ticket for candidates By Goya Dmytryshchak Multiple Hobsons Bay council candidates are running for election on a platform of allowing people to upsize to a bigger rubbish bin for free and/or restore weekly garbage collection. In February, the council cut garbage collections from weekly to fortnightly under a new four-bin recycling system. The new service comprises weekly food and garden organics (FOGO) collection, fortnightly garbage and recycling collections, and monthly glass collection. It costs $90 to upsize from a 120 litre bin to
a 240 litre bin. An additional 240 litre rubbish bin is $230, while an additional 120 litre rubbish bin is $140. Wetlands ward candidate and Hobsons Bay Residents Association co-convenor Amanda Hill said she “led the campaign for a weekly rubbish collection to be reinstated while supporting improved recycling”. Wetlands’ Ranbri Lambra said he stood for “an efficient waste collection system developed with community consultation”, Stephen Currie wanted “more hygienic solutions to waste and more bins where we need them”, Diana Grima promised “increasing general waste collection
without charging”, and Matt Tyler said council should “deliver on the basics including weekly bin collection for those that need it”. In Strand ward, candidate Damian Giri vowed to “review the waste management debacle and ensure residents have the right size bin for their needs at no cost”, Lisa Bentley promised “regular rubbish collections that meet community expectations”, Lachlan Christie said “bi-weekly landfill collection has failed to meet the needs of the community” and Angus Ward wanted to “allow the option of weekly landfill for those that need it”. Under the 2020-21 budget, the annual charge
is $227 for the standard four bins: a 120 litre rubbish bin, 120 litre food and garden bin, 120 litre glass bin and 240 litre mixed recycling bin. There is a $193 charge for multi-unit developments, apartments and villages with shared bins. The council said “the standard waste charge last financial year was $222.70”. “The cost of the additional 240 litre green waste service was $11.30 – the total being $234. “Residents have the option to downsize the green waste service to the standard 120 litre bin. If you choose to do this, your waste service charges will revert to $227.”

Schools go above and beyond In a year like no other, the inaugural Rotary Teacher Team Awards have recognised four of Hobsons Bay’s most outstanding schools. The awards recognised Altona College for a two-year project to expand from P-9 to a P-12 college, creating the first Altona school catering for all years. Annunciation Primary School at Brooklyn was recognised for delivering online learning during COVID-19, with teachers meeting in their own time. Bayside College’s Williamstown campus was acknowledged for introducing a
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) program for upper primary to year 9, which included a NASA challenge and making edible water bottles to counter the world’s disposable plastic problem. Williamstown High School was honoured for managing its international student program during the coronavirus pandemic, supporting many students in Melbourne without their parents. Altona City Rotary Club vocational director Bryan Goodwin said there had been 36 nominations.
“The team awards [are] where a group of teachers have collaborated effectively to address an important challenge or new development for a school,” he said. Also recognised were Emmanuel College (Altona North) first-year teachers Selma Poric and Kim Wheadon, Williamstown High School’s Liam Keating for his work in student engagement and wellbeing and Melinda McKeegan for supporting students with additional education needs.
Online storytime, art, nature, science, music and sport are some of the activities on offer for Hobsons Bay Children’s Week. The week will be launched on Sunday, October 25 by Formidable Vegetable, showing children how to plant seeds, preserve food, ferment vegetables and regrow vegie scraps on windowsills. Children can learn about the world of butterflies, bugs and creepy-crawlies with Labcoat Learning on Wednesday, October 28. They can also virtually explore a hive and learn all about bees. Hobsons Bay Libraries will present events for all ages, while Hobsons Bay council is hosting a virtual art competition with children invited to express what Hobsons Bay means to them. Other activities include presentations on wildlife and soccer training by Melbourne City Football Club in South Kingsville.

Accused denied bail for shooting former policeman One of three men charged with attempted murder, after an ex-policeman was shot in the head in Point Cook, has been denied bail. The Supreme Court heard 31-year-old Mark Dixon’s application for bail on September 25. Justice Andrew Tinney made the decision to refuse bail on the day, but released his reasons for doing so on October 8. Justice Tinney said that Dixon, an Irish national illegally in Australia, applied for bail after being charged with attempted murder, intentionally causing serious injury in circumstances of gross violence and recklessly
causing serious injury in circumstances of gross violence. Dixon, Stephen Tahaney and Jack Harvey are all charged with trying to murder former detective Sid Morgan. Justice Tinney said the three men have been charged on a “complicity basis” with none of them identified as the shooter in the case summary. However, Tahaney was nominated as the shooter in both his and Dixon’s defence responses. Justice Tinney said the men were known to each other through a property maintenance
business, started by Tahaney and Daniel Saddick, which later began to have financial troubles. In the months leading up to the shooting, which occurred on February last year, Mr Saddick received “threatening phone calls and messages” from Dixon, Tahaney and a buisness associate of Tahaney, Ciaran Murphy. The court heard that on February 21 last year, the three co-accused drove to Mr Saddick’s house in Spraypoint Drive, Point Cook. Mr Morgan was sitting on a chair in the driveway of Saddick’s house.
Once out of the car, one of the accused men allegedly attacked Mr Morgan with a hammer, before two of the accused began kicking and punching him. Justice Tinney said one of the men allegedly produced a firearm and shot Mr Morgan in the head, leaving him with a serious brain injury requiring life-long care. The three co-accused fled the scene. The court heard that Dixon and Harvey travelled to New South Wales after the shooting, where they were arrested and extradited to Victoria.

Youth resilience ‘inspiring’ By Benjamin Millar
Khalid Warsame is joining Western Edge Youth Arts (WEYA) as general manager. (Supplied)
He’s barely had a chance to catch his breath since landing in the chair, but Western Edge Youth Arts’ new general manager Khalid Warsame is already inspired by the determination of the young people living under lockdown. Warsame, a Footscray local, has taken the mantle at WEYA at a time performance is facing a moment of crisis and reinvention. As a former creative producer at Footscray Community Arts Centre and co-director of the National Young Writers Festival, Warsame is well aware of the well of untapped talent in the west and the power of performing to give young people a voice. He sees his new role as a chance to help guide WEYA through COVID-19 recovery and take it in bold new directions, while keeping the essence of the organisation alive. “I’m really excited by this role, it’s a young team and I love the passion they have for young kids and young people,” he said.
WEYA has worked with young people from Melbourne’s west for more than 25 years, producing art that speak to the experience and identity that shape their lives and their communities. Warsame said that growing up in North Melbourne and the western suburbs of Melbourne, he wasn’t exposed to what it could mean to have a culturally enriched life or to have the stories that you recognised told and heard. “We work with schools where a lot of the kids are from marginalised communities,” he said. “It’s not so much a didactic mode of practicing, it’s more a way of engaging communities with best practice and the best way to do that is to have the narrative and stories being reflected in the communities they are told in.” Strict social distancing and remote learning has hampered opportunities for WEYA to roll out its program physically, yet Warsame has witnessed what he labels a remarkable resilience in the teens he has encountered via
online workshops. He recognises how hard it must be for teens to be so isolated but takes heart in the attitudes on display. “I think by now we’ve grown used to this conception of this crisis and the period we are living in,” he said. “Now it’s a moment for reflection and chance and inspiration more than anything. It’s not so much talking about changemaking, it’s actually forcing us into really changing things, reconfiguring how we engage with these kids, and the kids are really engaging with that.” Warsame said he has been struck by the amazing adaptability of the young people through this crisis, particularly their resilience and determination to keep on engaging. “I have so much sympathy and a real sense of appreciation for how hard life must be for young people right now, I can’t imagine what it is like,” he said. “It’s a difficult time at the best of times, their lives are being disrupted in so many ways.”

Popular art prize returns Almost $30,000 in prizes will be up for grabs when the Footscray Art Prize returns in 2021. Entries have now opened in the third biennial art prize, with artists from across Australia invited to share in $28,000 of prizes across a number of categories. The Footscray Art Prize is a partnership between Victoria University, Maribyrnong council, Footscray Community Arts Centre and the Rotary Club of Footscray. The biennial prize has quickly cemented its place as a popular part of the arts calendar, attracting more than 800 entries in each of the past two years it was held. Organisers see the 2021 prize as offering a welcome injection of funds into the creative sector and an important step in reinvigorating the arts in Melbourne’s west, hit heavily by the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. The $10,000 main prize will return in2021, as well as the $5000 Street Art Prize and two $500
prizes for young artists. For the first time, there will also be a $10,000 acquisition prize for local artists, the winning work to be added to Maribyrnong council’s art and heritage collection and providing an artistic residency at Footscray Community Arts Centre for emerging practitioners. FCAC artistic director Daniel Santangeli said the Footscray Art Prize provides a platform for visual artists to be seen by acclaimed visual art judges and hundreds of visitors to FCAC. Maribyrnong council chief executive Stephen Wall said the winning work of the Local Artist Acquisition Prize will be exhibited at Footscray Town Hall or another council facility. “The work will be selected based on key themes, including our environment, people, growth, identity, and culture,” he said. Victoria University vice-chancellor Peter Dawkins said the pandemic throws up

some new challenges for the prize, but also opportunities. “This is my final year as vice-chancellor at VU, and it has been an honour to observe the next generation of artists through this prize and see it develop into a recognised Australian art prize,” he said. Judges selecting the 2021 shortlist and winners will include Myles Russell-Cook (curator of Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Victoria), Kirsty Grant (former director and chief executive of Heidi Museum of Modern Art) and curator Vicki McInnes. Shortlisted artworks will be on display at Footscray Community Arts Centre and VU at MetroWest in May and June 2021, with winners announced at the exhibition opening. Entries close February 8.

Yarraville traders are promising treats with a twist this Halloween. With social distancing putting a hold on physical trick or treating this year, festivities are moving online. Traders will still be lighting up the shopping trip as part of a ‘best dressed window competition’. Locals will be able to vote for their favourite window by clicking on the QR codes at the store or entering their nomination online. Yarraville Traders Association president Carla Smith said a series of QR code posters will also be spread around the Village, revealing a digital “trick or treat” when clicked. Ms Smith warned that some of the images might be a bit scary for younger children. Continuing the Halloween theme online, Anna GoGo is running an online dance tutorial on the ‘Yarraville Mash’. “Locals young and old will be encouraged to film themselves dancing the ‘Ýarraville Mash’, we will then compile a video to realise on the day,” Ms Smith said. Videos must be filmed in landscape format and lodged before 5pm on October 25. Ms Smith said the website also features downloadable spooky colouring in images to help brighten up housebound Halloween. Details: yarraville.org/halloween-2020 Benjamin Millar

MY PLACE For three years, Williamstown’s Justine Brogna has organised the Walk a Mile in my Shoes mental health event. This year’s was different, not only due to COVID-19, but because today marks the first anniversary of her mother’s death after living with mental illness. She talks with Goya Dmytryshchak. I started it to raise awareness for mental health issues and as a means to help reduce the stigma associated with it. It was also a way to bring the community together to celebrate lived experience. For this year’s event, you ran a half marathon of 21 kilometres – one kilometre for each year your mother experienced mental illness. Can you tell me about your personal experience? As a carer, it was tremendously difficult to witness her trauma and her suffering with the illness. She had voices every day. Some days, they really troubled her and other days they weren’t so bad. I guess, witnessing someone you really care about being quite tormented by these voices all the time, … helped me … put what I have witnessed and what she’s told me about her experience into something positive and productive and trying to make a difference by the work I do: the walk, creating the TreeHaus Clinic providing a service to the community, and I started a new role as a senior social worker at Eastern Health working with children with a parent with a mental illness.
What are you most looking forward to doing when restrictions ease? Probably going to a restaurant and being able to sit down in a restaurant and be served – and not cooking so often. And catching up with people that I haven’t been able to. Your GoFundMe page, Walk a Mile in my Shoes – Williamstown, has so far raised $6000. How will the money be used? It goes to local primary schools for wellbeing hubs. So, they’re like retreats for kids to go to in times of anxiety, any distress, sensory issues. To donate visit: https://au.gofundme.com/ f/3ses2-walk-a-mile-in-my-shoes-williamstown.

During the lockdowns, where have been some of your favourite places to go or outlets to cope and maintain mental wellbeing?
It’s actually why I took up running. Initially, I started running as a way to deal with the grief and loss in November last year, and then as COVID restrictions came in I found I started running for longer distances and more often in the week because it was the one thing that felt like I had a bit of a free liberty within the constraints of lockdown. It really helped me to release a lot of the stress that was going on through the week, through the work, because our workload’s increased at the clinic due to the demand of new referrals because people have been experiencing more anxiety and isolation.

GRAND FINAL - HOME STYLE Make your mark grand final day Who says watching the Grand Final at home during lockdown can’t be fun? OK, slightly less perfect without having the gang over, but there are ways to make the most exciting day of footy exciting at home – inside or outdoors, writes Carole Levy. First, set the mood: get into the scarves, socks and beanies of your team (even if they’re not playing in the grandie), then crank up the music. ‘Up There Kazaly’ (on repeat) and anything from Barnesy are obvious choices. . When the music goes down, turn up the TV to loud because there’s nothing like listening to the commentators’ shtick to get in the mood and to spark friendly debate before the game.

Second, before the first bounce, hand out a list to everyone for them to enter their ‘bets’ on the following: • Who will win the captain’s centre call? • How many players will actually sing the National Anthem? • Who will kick the first goal? • Who will kick the first behind? • Who will get the first free kick? • At what stage will the first punch-on occur? • What will constitute the first ‘bad’ umpire’s decision? • Which side will get the most free kicks per quarter?
Most of all, celebrate togetherness, and know butchers who are likely to offer a Grand Final meat or skewers pack. Order in home-delivered that people all over Melbourne are barracking Third – have the ‘right’ mood-food available. treats from your fave local café – think in their homes along with you. We can make the COVID grand final a great cupcakes, antipasto or cheese platters, a wrap Pies, obviously. one anyway … because that’s who we are. If you’re having a barbecue, check out local selection… own ideas to the list.

There was good news for first home buyers in this year’s budget announced on October 6, writes Ruth Lewis. The First Home Loan Deposit Scheme will be extended to help an extra 10,000 first-home buyers realise their dreams of home ownership. The scheme has already helped almost 20,000 buyers purchase their first home this year, with a deposit as low as 5 per cent. However, time is running out to take advantage of the HomeBuilder grant. The $25,000 grant for building a new home, substantially renovate an existing home or buy off-the-plan will only be available where contracts are signed by December 31. If you are stepping onto the property ladder for the first time, using the HomeBuilder grant in conjunction with the First Home Buyers Grant is how you can make substantial savings. But you will need to act fast. The grant for first-time buyers is complementary to existing state and territory first homeowner grants, stamp duty concessions and the government’s First Home Loan Deposit scheme, as well as the First Home Super Saver Scheme. “The extension of the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme is fantastic,” says Toby Balazs, chief executive of realestateview. com.au. “It gives buyers the confidence to proceed with a purchase, as well as developers the confidence to continue building which gives significant support to the construction industry. “It’s a great time to get into the market with the stimulus packages available and the low-interest rates.”

Great time to get into the housing market
“In Victoria, there has been a surge in listing activity since the relaxing of restrictions on September 27,” continues Toby. “While the market was certainly subdued throughout COVID-19, there is more positivity in the market now.” “The number of new listings added to
realestateview.com.au per week from when the restrictions were eased has increased by more than 2.5 times versus the weekly average throughout September.” David Milton, managing director of Residential Projects at CBRE says now is the biggest opportunity for first-time
buyers. “With the stimulus packages and the focus on employment announced in the budget, we’re going to get through this and if people are confident with their work, they will buy.”

No-compromise Supra
Toyota has taken a no-compromise leaf out of the European book for the Supra GR sports car. (Pictures: Supplied)
By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring As shutters around the world go up against the pandemic and intellectual property pirates, automobile manufacturers increasingly are opening to the sharing of ideas, design and technology. For years, rising costs of new-vehicle development have opened the borders between what were once bitter rivals with sharing on an industrial scale: think Ford and Mazda with Ranger and BT-50 utes, Toyota and Subaru with the 86 and BRZ sports cars. And who can forget Holden and Toyota badge engineering Apollo / Camry and Nova / Corolla during the Button Plan days? Now, Toyota is at it again, this time building the new version of its iconic Supra sports coupe around a German chassis and engine. And those familiar with European performance car influence will immediately pick up the BMW Z4 in its Japanese counterpart. The Supra GR comes to market in Australia in two variants, the GT and GTS. The GT is $84,600 and the GTS $94,600, not including on-roads. The German cousin, the Z4 3.0 M40i, clears the bar at $127,900. Powered by a 250 kW / 500 Nm turbo-petrol 3.0-litre straight six, the GR Supra puts this prodigious power to ground through the rear wheels via a new quick-shifting, sports-tuned eight-speed automatic transmission. With limited-slip differential and adaptive suspension, launch control serves up a zero-to-100 km/h sprint in a nippy 4.3 seconds.
for the GTS, named after iconic racetracks. Chosen by Toyota Australia employees. They are Fuji White, Suzuka Silver, Goodwood Grey, Monza Red, Silverstone Yellow, Le Mans Blue, Bathurst Black and Nurburg Matte Grey.
Interior The cabin décor is basic black, broken up by splashes of race-bred design such as carbon fibre-look trim. Leather-accented, heated sports seats are eight-way power adjustable. A leather-accented three-spoke sports steering wheel is well placed with controls and transmission paddle shifts, while the GTS adds sports accelerator and brake pedals. The instrument cluster is uncluttered and straightforward in its layout of digital speedo and analogue petrol and temperature gauge. Dual zone climate control keeps driver and passenger comfy and wireless phone charger, Front and rear 12-volt accessory sockets and USB power socket with input for infotainment top up the list of accessories.
Infotainment Front and centre is an 8.8-inch touchscreen multimedia display, which is also accessed through a large control knob, surrounded by system access buttons, on the centre console. As in the majority of modern cars, Bluetooth connectivity is a given, embedded satellite navigation a welcome inclusion and voice recognition a bonus. The GTS is fitted with a Premium JBL AM / FM / DAB+ audio delivering Surround Sound through 12 speakers.
AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE Toyota Supra GR GT $84,900 Toyota Supra GR GTS $94,900 OPTIONS Nurburgring Matte Grey paint $2500 Alcantara upholstery $2500
Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Toyota dealer for drive-away prices.
Styling
Engines / transmissions
While the Supra GR shares engine and chassis with the BMW Z4, Toyota insists there was no compromise with its design as a classic sports car with long, bonnet, swept back cabin and low beltline. With a nod to Toyota’s sports car heritage dating back to the 1967 2000GT with its double bubble roof, the new Supra takes into account the aerodynamics and balance needed for high performance driving on road or racetrack. The low centre-of-gravity necessary for true sports performance, Toyota dropped the running ground clearance below its usual standard minimum of 130mm to just 119mm. The GTS rolls on 19-inch forged alloy wheels shod with low profile Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres specifically tuned for Supra and featuring a bespoke compound to offer outstanding grip. Sports brakes with red brake calipers peer out from within. The new Supra is offered in a choice of seven standard colours, plus an optional matte grey
The GTS is powered by the tried-and-tested BMW 3.0-litre six-cylinder inline engine found in the top-spec Z4. Maximum power of 250 kW comes up between 5000 and 6500 rpm, while top torque of 500 Nm is on tap from 1600 to 4500 revs.
control at all speeds. Lane departure alert includes steering assist, the latter, which some drivers could find intrusive, can be switched off. Front and rear parking and clearance sonars with rear-end collision warning is augmented by rear cross-traffic alert and reversing camera. A blind spot monitor shows when it’s safe to pull out and hill-start assist holds the vehicle when setting off on an incline.
Safety
Driving
Five-star safety starts with seven airbags (driver and passenger, front, front side, side curtain, and driver, knee). Autonomous emergency braking features front collision warning with daytime pedestrian and cyclist detection. A pop-up bonnet helps to minimise injuries here if an accident occurs. In addition, ABS anti-skid braking with brake assist, vehicle stability control, traction control, active cornering assist and brake standby, fade and drying functions are on hand. The driver has access to speed limit info via a head-up display and a speed limiter can be brought into play, together with active cruise
Strap in, this could be a wild ride! That was easier said than done in the test Supra, with the seatbelt clasps nestling deep in the space between the two seats and transmission tunnel. Small fingers made them hard to reach; large hands, difficult to fiddle with the belt clips. Press the start/stop button on the dashboard and the engine leaps into life with a breathy rasp, that rises to a roar as the revs mount. With maximum power of 250 kW between 5000 and 6500 rpm and a 7000 km/h red line there is no argument about the Supra’s sporting prowess. However, surprisingly, thanks to a flat torque curve (500 Nm at 1600 to 4500 revs), the
28 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY Wednesday, 21 October, 2020
coupe is almost Camry-like in its easy-going attitude to stop / start city living. Combined urban / highway fuel consumption on 95 RON petrol is put at 7.7 litres per 100 kilometres by Toyota. Securely ensconced in eighth gear at motorway speeds the Supra test car clocked up an average fuel consumption of 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres. Which ran out to 10-plus in town, still now bad and indicating the clever engineering in the powerplant. Toyota Supra handling is spot on, with an active limited-slip differential and adaptive suspension working with the GTS 19-inch wheels wrapped in specially developed Michelin tyres, plus 50 / 50 weight distribution ensuring top-notch traction, stability, responsiveness and balance for road or track. The driver’s view out of the rear window is constrained, because of the steeply sloping roofline. Reversing camera with guidelines and rear parking alarms were put to full use on test. As was the sharp GTS-only windscreen head-up display, which included welcome speed limit warnings. While the boot is big (290 litres) for a car of its type, the opening is pinched and not welcoming of bulky items. Cabin storage consists of passenger-side glovebox with seven-litre capacity and rear parcel shelf behind the seats.
Summing up The Supra is one of the few non-European sports cars that could do justice to the BMW tradition in high-performance automobile engineering. Well done, Toyota.

USED CAR CHECKOUT
Toyota Prado 2009 - 2019 By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Though it has ‘proper 4WD’ body-on-chassis construction the Toyota Prado is aimed at buyers who will do most of their driving on-road – but who do want to get serious at times in moderate to harsh off-road conditions. Prado has been sold in Australia since 1996, but we will start with the November 2009 introduction of the fourth-generation. Australia is an extremely important market for the Toyota Prado, ours being the second largest in the world. The gen-four is usually a seven-seater. Five seat models are on offer in some. A slightly odd Prado with just two passenger doors was offered, it never took on so was quietly removed from the import list at the end of 2013. However, if you really don’t need back doors very often you may pick one up. November 2017 saw the Prado get a fairly comprehensive restyle forward of the windscreen, with a more standout look to the grille and revised headlights. The rear saw new lights and changes to the bumper. Inside, the dashboard was given a more modern look, the changes included revised instruments and the minor controls. Prado is a large vehicle with plenty of interior space for occupants and a decent sized boot. Parking in tight spaces can be a hassle, but it’s not overly wide so driving in suburban and city areas isn’t a real problem. Naturally, the big Toyota is in its element in the country and in the big open spaces. Handling is safe and predictable but there’s no way you would call it sporty. Off-road Prado is competent and will look after you if you drive it sensibly. Folding the door mirrors in before you go into tight bush can prevent scratches on

their covers. Engines are four-cylinder turbo-diesel and V6 petrol. The diesel in the period being covered here has a 3.0-litre. A new design 2.8-litre was introduced late in 2015, its capacity was increased to 3.0 litres at the end of 2017 as part of a major makeover. Petrols have a 4.0-litre capacity but faded from buyers’ favour when the newer diesels were introduced, though a few continued to be imported until the introduction of the new model of 2017. Toyota is well represented just about everywhere in Australia where there’s civilisation. Spares and repairs are usually readily available, though if you’re in the distant outback you may have to wait for some little ordered parts to be delivered. There’s plenty of underbonnet space so it’s possible to do a fair bit of your own servicing and some basic repairs. Insurance costs are usually towards the lower end of the scale.
What to look for If you suspect a Prado has been off road, check underneath for damage to the protection plates, chassis rails, door sills, and the bumper lower corners. Even gentle off-road running can lead to scratches on the doors, guards and door mirrors because it is a large vehicle that has been squeezed through tight spots. Look for sand underneath the vehicle and in the wheel arches. If you find any, taste it for salt – indicating the Prado may have been playing around in breaking surf. This can lead to rust if any of the body protection has been breached. Check the engine starts easily, idles well, though four-cylinder engines can be comparatively rough due to their big capacity. Engines shouldn’t hesitate when accelerated hard, even when cold. The later diesels are modern units and will start almost as quickly as a petrol engine, if you feel it’s too slow to kick over have it
professionally checked. Listen for any untoward noises from the differentials, driveshafts and front wheel hubs.
How much? Expect to spend from $12,000 to $17,000 for a 2009 Toyota Prado GX; $14,000 to $20,000 for a 2009 GXL; $16,000 to $23,000 for a 2012 GX; $21,000 to $28,000 for a 2012 Kakadu; $25,000 to $34,000 for a 2015 GXL; $32,000 to $43,000 for a 2014 VX or a 2017 GXL 7-seat; $38,000 to $49,000 for a 2015 Kakadu or a 2019 GX; $42,000 to $55,000 for a 2019 GXL; $46,000 to $61,000 for a 2018 VX; and $55,000 to $63,000 for a 2019 Kakadu.
Car buying tip Vehicles used in the wide open spaces in Australia will often have big miles on their clocks. But easy driving and being warm virtually all the time is good for engines. Choose them on condition not indicted distance travelled.

Back to the gym A good instructor should allow for this, and will have some great modifications if you really do find something too tricky.
You don’t have to be fit to start Just like you wouldn’t get your hair trimmed before you go to the hairdresser, you don’t have to be fit to start in a group fitness class (as long as the class is suitable for all fitness levels). Stage 4 Restrictions have not made good bedfellows for allowing Melbournians to maintain a fitness regime of any sort. Some have made it outside, kids in tow, for daily ‘iso walks’ and some have done a home workout each day. But, for the past 6 months, we haven’t been able to step foot inside a gym. And that’s a long time to have off! Things will have changed – some out of necessity and some changes to reinvigorate fitness businesses. So, the post-Iso return to the gym or group fitness class will be reminiscent of being a beginner. Here are some tips that should help you have a great time at your first session back.
Wear comfy clothes and runners/sneakers You just need to be able to move well in them – so a pair of tracksuit pants, shorts or leggings and a comfy t-shirt or active wear top is best. Your shoes should ideally be laced-up runners with good grip to keep yourself safe. Masks must be worn at all times until you are physically exerting yourself.
Some other things to bring You may need to bring your own mat and maybe even your own weights at the start – check ahead about this; your own full water bottle; bring a towel (a hand-towel will do here); and a small bag for your things. And hand sanitiser, although this should be supplied.
Book in (Staples Media)
There are usually a couple of ways to do this – best bet to check out your gym’s website. While gathering numbers are restricted and contact tracing is required, you will have to book in to attend.
Go with a friend Having a familiar face to smile or grimace with can be reassuring if you’re new. Remember, everyone in that room was new at one stage. Even the instructor!
While some moves may feel uncomfortable or unusual, nothing should physically hurt you during the class.
Take your time Go in with an open mind Don’t set any expectations of yourself or of the class. Be open to trying new things.
From a practical point of actually getting yourself to the class and your expectations on yourself in the class.
Firstly, arrive at least ten minutes before the class starts. You need time to get a lay of the land and to fill out any paperwork, to set up and to have a chat to the instructor. Secondly, take your time once you’re in the class. It’s much better to do five great squats while everyone else is doing twenty, than to hurt yourself doing those twenty squats poorly.
The length of this list is not indicative of how complicated participating in a group fitness class is. This is simply an overview of all the little things I wish I knew at the start. The most important thing is to simply just start! So, go on, grab a friend, pop your comfy clothes and runners on and GIVE IT A GO! (The very first thing you should do, though, before any of this, is check in with your GP – just to see if there are any health concerns that you may be unaware of that need to be taken into consideration before you start.)

SPORT Battistella returns home to North Footscray The appeal of returing home to North Footscray was enough to make David Battistella rethink his plans to retire from coaching. Battistella played all his football at the Red Devils before going on to coach them prior to moving to coach East Keilor. When he stepped down at East Keilor, he thought that was the end of his coaching days. But the prospect of returning home sparked his interest and he was appointed North Footscray coach for next year’s Western Region Football League division 2 season. Battistella said returning to his old club just felt right. “It has come up more recently,” he said. “If I was going to coach again this was the right time. Before I stopped coaching, I had coached 11 out of 12 years and it’s a tiring job. “I wanted to spend more time with my family. At the time had you asked if I would coach again, I would have said highly unlikely,
but never say never. Had you asked me 12 months ago, I would have said the same thing.” Battistella said there was the romance story of returning to his old club, but he knows it doesn’t always end in fairytales. Battistella is bringing his own coaching panel, which includes another two former North Footscray players. He said the reaction since the announcement had been really good. “I’ve been around long enough to not go in with strong expectations. I want to build a consistent, strong and viable team.” While Battistella has been around North Footscray for a number of years, he said he knew no more than five players from the current playing group. He said that gives everyone a fresh slate. “Sitting down with [president] Jason [McCluskey] and talking about what has been done, football manager Scott Kenny has done a power of work.
“He was signing up players for 2020 and now 2021. There’s a fair few new recruits. “It started in 2019 and it’s occurred all the way through 2020.” Battistella said he wasn’t sure whether they would get to start training before Christmas due to COVID-19 restrictions. While Battistella knows it’s a tough situation coming into a coaching role after no football this year, he said every other coach would be in a similar situation. “It’s a tough initiation for everyone taking away 2020,” he said. “Everyone still had to start again. It’s a brand new fresh start for me.” Tara Murray New North Footscray coach David Battistella. (Supplied)
Pritchard’s dream draft By Tara Murray Draft night couldn’t have been better for new Western Bulldogs AFLW recruit Isabelle Pritchard. A diehard Bulldogs supporter who lives down the road in Spotswood, Pritchard was hoping that she might make her way to Whitten Oval in the draft. It was a dream come true, when the Bulldogs used their third pick, pick 16, to take Pritchard. “It’s very exciting and it’s unreal,” Pritchard said. “Especially since I’ve grown up with the Dogs my whole life, it’s a dream come true. “From picks 11-16 those were some of the clubs I’ve had interviews with. I wasn’t expecting to go then, but thought maybe I would go around then. “There was a bit of silence when all those picks read out from pick 11 to 15 and it wasn’t my name.

I’ve met with all the players before

- Isabelle Pritchard
“The room was silent and it came to pick 16 and we all had our fingers crossed and all hoping that I would be picked. “My mum and dad erupted and my brother was so happy.” Pritchard has become the second Spotswood female player to be drafted by the Bulldogs, after they took father-daughter pick Isabella Grant last season. Pritchard said having that relationship with Grant will help her when she heads down to the Bulldogs. “Growing up at my local club, I played for Spotswood and my coach there was Chris Grant, who is the director of football at the Dogs now. “We’re good family friends with Chris and I’m good friends with Izzy already. It’s just so good knowing her.” Pritchard isn’t a complete stranger to the Bulldogs, having trained at the club earlier this year as part of her time in the AFLW Academy. She said it gave her an insight into what she has to expect. “I’ve met with all the players before which is really comforting … they’re all really nice. “I know it will be a big step up. I remember when I trained there at the start of the year, I did that week with them and by the end of the week, I couldn’t walk properly. “I was so sore. I know it’s a step up and I’m looking forward to the challenge.” Pritchard said she was unsure when she

would start training as she juggles year 12 study as well. She had the GAT the day after the draft and admits she had only had three to four hours sleep the night before with all the excitement. “It’s super exciting and it will be good to take my mind off study and get a little break. It’s

super exciting being able to start training. “I’m going to try and learn as much as I can in the environment … and see how much I can improve.” Pritchard was one of two Western Jets players taken in the draft. Amelia Velardo was taken at pick 25 by Collingwood.
Rupo appoint new coach If Arron Bray was ever going to return to coaching there was only one club that could tempt him – Rupertswood. A throwaway line on the golf course was enough to set things in motion, with Bray appointed Rupertswood’s coach to lead them into the Essendon District Football League for the first time. Bray, who previously coached Broadford in the Riddell District Football League, said he was excited by the role and the future of the club. He replaces premiership-winning coach Nick Ash who stood down from the role. “Four years down the track I didn’t think I would be coaching them after plotting their downfall in a couple of finals series,” Bray said. “I had been spending the last few years relaxing and fishing. I didn’t think about coaching again. I was playing golf and said the one club to get me back into coaching would be Rupo. “My golfing partner then went around the corner and called the Rupo president and said they want to speak to you.” Bray, who lives in Broadford, said the club’s program and strong juniors were big factors in his decision. He said they also seem like a professional club. “Coaching some of the players in the interleague … I had built up a bit of a relationship and they knew a bit about me and I knew a bit about them.” Bray said he had a bit of knowledge about the EDFL competition from many years ago. The Sharks will play in division 1 next year, which includes the Sunbury Kangaroos, another side which Bray coached against in the RDFL. Among his opposition coaches is Mo Kaakour, who he coached at Broadford. Bray said he had started to speak to the playing group. “I think a fair few of the premiership side has re-signed,” he said. “I’ll bring in two or three players if I can, but I haven’t got that far.” Meanwhile the Sharks have reappointed Michael Saker and Kaila Ingham as their netball coaches for next season.

Woodend looks to next generation of players Woodend is hoping its next generation of players will step up as it eyes a return to Gisborne and District Cricket Association McIntyre Cup finals. After a disappointing end to last season where it missed finals, Woodend knows it needs to step things up across the board this season. Playing coach Greg Matthews said they would have a younger side this year. “We’ve lost a few players,” he said. “Some players are playing elsewhere and with COVID others are unsure about availability and how it will be with work and life. “A lot of clubs are dealing with that at the moment. “We’re looking forward to bringing some kids up and continuing their development. They played a fair bit last year, so it will be good to see how they have progressed.”
Former coach Adam Johnstone headlines the outs, with the wicketkeeper heading to play at Airport West. Matthews said the loss of Johnstone would be a big one. But despite losing some senior players, Matthews says finals was still the aim this season. “Last season we were quite close but things didn’t quite fall our way,” he said. “We’re going to continue to work on our games with the intention of getting into finals. “We’re striving for that and with a young team we have to improve across the board.” Woodend started its season on Saturday in a thriller, going down to Romsey in the final over in the regional senior competition. Playing for no points, regional teams had the option of entering teams into the competition, while metro teams are still unable to play due to
coonavirus restrictions. The Hawks made 9-157 from their overs, with new recruit Riley Vernon making 90 at the top of the order. Darin Jewell and Aaron Paterson took three wickets each for Romsey. Romsey made hard work of the run chase, but made it on the final ball with one wicket in hand. Sean Day topscored with 40, while Matthews took three wickets for the Hawks. Gisborne won the other pool A match. In pool B, Bacchus Marsh beat Gisborne, while there was no play between Wallan and Riddell. Tara Murray Greg Matthews is coaching Woodend again.

Bulls return to the field
Tigers back in group
By Tara Murray Bacchus Marsh was thrilled to return to the cricket field as play in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association got under way on Saturday. Playing a different format and not for points, with metro sides still unable to play, the Bulls took on fellow McIntyre Cup side Gisborne, in pool A of the regional club competition. Romsey and Woodend make up the other two sides in the pool. There are six pools in the club competition, with Bacchus Marsh and Gisborne fielding the most teams with five each. It’s hoped the normal season will start in November. A strong Gisborne unit proved too good for the Bulls on Saturday. The Bulls won the toss and elected to bat, making 5-162 from 40 overs. Taeje Baker top scored with 56, while Lidgett made 38. Roby Lane took two wickets. The Dragons made the runs with three overs to spare. Lachlan McKenna, who normally plays premier cricket, made 61. Former under-19 Australian captain Pat McKenna, who has played little cricket in recent years, chipped in with 41 not out. It was all single wickettakers for the Bulls. Speaking before the game, Bulls captain-coach James Lidgett said the competition was a good opportunity to test themselves against some of the stronger teams in the competition. “I’m very excited and the other guys are just as excited to do something and get out of the house. “We want to see how some other people will go, but we’ll also be taking it seriously and test ourselves out and give us our best preparation for the season.” The Bulls weren’t at full strength on Saturday, with some players living in metro Melbourne areas and unable to play. Lidgett said they had an exciting crop of youngsters coming through who they were keen to see more of. The Bulls, who finished fourth last season, losing to Gisborne in a semi-final, have a few changes. Jared Taylor, who last played for the Bulls in the 2018-19 season, returns to the club, while Kieran Atkin comes across from Wallan. Kasun Suriaratchie is the main confirmed out from last season. Lidgett said there were a couple of players who live in the metro region and they were unsure what they were doing. In the Ballarat Cricket Association, Darley started the season with a win against Golden Point. The Lions made 9-208 on the back of 72 from Danza Hyatt at the top of the order. The knock included five sixes. The Lions bowled Golden Point out for 160. Madushanka Ekanayaka took three wickets for the Lions. There are no BCA matches this weekend due to the AFL grand final.
Werribee will go in with an unchanged line-up as it looks to go one better in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association. The Tigers made the east-west grand final last season against Williamstown, but the match didn’t go ahead due to COVID-19 concerns. The Seagulls were awarded the premiership after finishing higher on the ladder. Again led by Tim O’Brien, the Tigers this season are hoping they have a side that will be in the mix as they look to break through for a premiership in the north-west group. O’Brien said they were hoping lockdown rules would change soon so they can start training and then get the season under way. “We go in unchanged,” he said. “We really haven’t recruited anyone or lost any one. “All the guys are back from last year and with it all being one-dayers it will be interesting. “It had been seven years before last year that we had played in a grand final after playing finals most years. “It was out of our hands. We are keen to get another opportunity.” O’Brien said having the same side as last year would help with planning for training and playing when the season gets under way. He said while they were allowed to train in groups of two they hadn’t started any official training. They are hoping to get a practice match on November 14, with the season scheduled to kick off on November 21. “With COVID planning and training, we know what group we have, which is really helpful.” While the Tigers have kept their list together, they’ve bolstered their coaching ranks. Shane Arthur, who has been the batting coach in recent years, steps up to an assistant coaching role and will be more hands on. Jeff Dean, who used to coach the side and has the club’s batting award named after him, returns to the club as a batting coach. Dean is the father of players Matt and Shaun Dean, and Victorian player Travis Dean. Another former player, Heath Pritchard has been named bowling coach and will spend time at the club around his football commitments. The Tigers start their season against Williamstown.
