Parking waiver backed A report into paid parking in Yarraville village has found Maribrynong council introduced too many parking bays and set too high a fee for weekday parking. Transport policy specialists Phillip Boyle and Associates found parking in the village may have damaged weekday shopping but should have improved weekend trade due to higher vehicle turnover. On the agenda of last night’s Maribyrnong council meeting, the report recommends extending a waiver on parking fees in Yarraville and central Footscray until a new Maribyrnong-wide parking policy has been developed. A further waiver is likely to cost the council hundreds of thousands of dollars on top of the estimated $600,000 lost since December when the council suspended paid parking in both areas until February 29. The council last year spent $120,000 installing 17 parking meters covering 97 parking spaces in Yarraville. Anger at the meters boiled over at a fiery council meeting in November where two councillors were assaulted. Business operators in Yarraville claim the introduction of parking meters to the area in August cut into their bottom line by as much as 30 per cent. Data collected in February 2015 and last November – before and after paid parking was in force – shows businesses that only operate on weekdays are most exposed to a drop in trade while those operating Sundays may be better off.

It showed fewer vehicles visiting the centre of Yarraville during weekdays but an eight per cent overall increase across the week. There were 464 more cars visiting on Sundays when parking was free, and 166 fewer vehicles on Mondays to Thursdays, of which only Mondays were free. The report found Saturdays and Sundays were “a success”, with more car-based customers and less parking stress. But weekday controls were “too tight”.

‘‘

The Yarraville trial set the initial charge unnecessarily high

’’

- Phillip Boyle & Associates “It is likely the Yarraville trial set the initial charge unnecessarily high for Mondays to Thursdays,” the report notes. “The Yarraville Village paid parking trial changed the regime in too many bays and at times when occupancies were low.” The report highlights the need for a policy to deal with the growing number of cars in Maribyrnong, with numbers expected to rise by 14,000 to 49,000 by 2026. The report states rolling out a new policy in Footscray and Yarraville should be a priority, followed by new parking regimes at precincts including Seddon and Barkly Village, at Highpoint and also at the Footscray Hospital.

Council has received a review into the development of an off leash dog park in Brooklyn. It found that while there was support for an off leash dog park in the area, there is currently no suitable site. One of the most popular sites identified was Pipeline Reserve. We will continue working with Melbourne Water to determine if any of the issues that exclude the reserve as a site for an off leash dog park can be resolved. In the meantime, funding allocated for the off leash dog park in the 2015-16 budget will now go towards building a car park at Brooklyn Reserve, a major priority in the Brooklyn Reserve Master Plan.

New speed limits in Williamstown

Ann Street drainage works

Speed limits in Williamstown’s shopping precinct will be reduced to 40km/h from 29 February. The lower speed limit will be introduced in Ferguson Street, Douglas Parade and Nelson Place to ensure community safety in these busy areas. Council has conducted traffic surveys in the area following requests for a lower speed limit from community members and traders. VicRoads has endorsed the new speed limit. Police will be enforcing the new speed limit and urge drivers to be conscious of the changes when entering the precinct. New speed limit signs will be installed mid-February.

Construction of the new underground drainage system in Ann Street, Williamstown is almost complete. Running from Nelson Place to Thompson Street, the drainage system is key to building a stronger drainage network through-out Williamstown. Following this, the Cecil Street drainage line is set to be installed as the final stage in completing this network. The new drain is set to run down the middle of the street to avoid any impact on the street’s beloved Elm Trees.

Council takes different path on kerbside planting Maribyrnong council will not allow planter boxes to be used for growing produce on nature strips, despite previously celebrating the success of an urban farming trial. In 2013, the council piloted a program to install 10 wooden boxes in Pitt Street, West Footscray, and five in Eldridge Street, Footscray, in which community members could grow their own fruit, vegetables and herbs. At the time, council officers surveyed residents involved with the planting project, and their evaluation of it highlighted “social connection,

food production and skill development outcomes”. Ninety per cent of respondents said the planter box project should continue in their streets and be allowed in other areas. The evaluation report requested that council “continue to monitor community interest in urban agriculture initiatives and consider nature strip planter boxes as feasible initiatives”. Star Weekly reported last week that the council had ordered a Yarraville family to remove the vegetable garden they had grown in

planter boxes on a nature strip in front of their home, despite the produce being on offer to anyone. The council does not allow structures or plants on nature strips to be higher than 50 centimetres. The council did not answer questions about whether further trials of nature strip planter boxes would be considered, but community services director Clem Gillings said it did support urban agriculture initiatives delivered in a “safe, sustainable, equitable way” to encourage participation by all residents.

“Through face to face engagement with our community, and in our work with community agricultural groups, we have found that there is considerable interest in communal and private gardens spaces,” Ms Gillings said. “About 12 urban horticultural sites [including community gardens] are located across the city.” She said the council supported sustainable gardening through My Smart Garden via www. mysmartgarden.org.au.

CHANGE OVER YOUR HEATER AND SAVE

Farewell to a ‘legend’ By Benjamin Millar Tributes have been offered across the state in an outpouring of grief for the death of Footscray firefighter Damien Burke. A guard of honour spanning 500 metres stopped traffic outside St Monica’s church in Moonee Ponds last Tuesday to farewell the much-loved “legend” who was seen as a father figure to many firefighters. Mr Burke, 53, died suddenly on February 3. The senior station officer and Metropolitan Fire Brigade veteran of 27 years was highly

regarded as a colleague and as a mentor to many young firefighters. He was celebrated with a spontaneous tribute that saw the number 47 – the number of Footscray fire station – emblazoned on fire trucks across the state. Tributes poured in for the father of nine via a “Protect the Protectors” Facebook page, on which colleagues and friends expressed heartbreak that “Burkey” was gone. His wife, Ann Burke, posted on Monday that Mr Burke’s new grandson, Oscar Damien, was born that day.

‘Fix this loopy Loop’ By Goya Dmytryshchak

Jennifer Williams says duplication of the Altona Loop makes a lot of sense. (Joe Mastroianni)

Hobsons Bay deputy mayor Sandra Wilson said it was an ideal time to duplicate the track. “I know it’s in the PTV network plan 20 years from now,” she said. “But if they’re going to do work of such magnitude and close the line down for three months, given all the suffering that we’ve had, wouldn’t it be good to have not just a resolution for the level crossing but also for the train users?” Level Crossing Removal Authority chief

Make the move to Amarco where retirement living is easy.

executive Kevin Devlin said the level crossing removal would be “future-proofed” to allow for expansion of the rail corridor. “While it’s too early to tell how long the disruption will be, we’ll do everything we can to minimise disruptions and ensure the community is aware of any changes to their train service,” he said.

Police have released CCTV footage and the image of a man (pictured) wanted for exposing himself to women on trains. Transit police have been told the man exposed himself three times on trains on the Werribee and Sandringham lines between 8.30am and noon on January 1. Police believe he did it twice on the Sandringham line between Hampton and Southern Cross stations. He then boarded a Werribee train at Southern Cross and got off at Newport. He took another train back to the city and exposed himself between Newport and Yarraville, where he disembarked. The man is Caucasian, in his mid to late 20s, about 178cm tall, of medium build, with auburn-colored hair and several days’ growth of facial hair. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Police are also searching for a man who threatened a Yarraville service station worker with a pair of scissors during an armed robbery last Tuesday. The man entered the service station on the corner of Williamstown Road and Francis Street about 4.40am. He threatened the attendant, forced him to open the till and fled along Francis Street with a small amount of cash.

Altona residents and Hobsons Bay’s deputy mayor are calling for a partial duplication of the Altona Loop while services are shut down for up to three months to remove the Kororoit Creek Road level crossing. The crossing in Williamstown North closes for a total of 11 minutes in the two-hour morning peak but has been fast-tracked for removal by 2019 as part of the state government’s $6 billion level-crossing removal project. The single-track Altona Loop is one of the Metro network’s biggest bottlenecks but will remain a single track even after a new rail bridge is built. Altona commuters rely on a sparse rail service of a train every 22 minutes in peak times and every 20 minutes between peaks. Altona commuters are also among the most frequent victims of station skipping. Metro services occasionally bypass the Altona Loop when there is a service disruption, stranding passengers at Laverton or Newport stations. In some cases, Altona-bound commuters have been informed while in transit that they will bypass the loop, leading passengers to coin the term “kidnap trains”. Altona Loop Group spokeswoman Jennifer Williams said that unless the track was duplicated, train commuters would have the same poor service after the level crossing was removed. “I think duplication of the line would make a lot of sense at that stage, while it’s shut down,” she said. “The reason is that pre- and post-crossing removal we’ll still have the same train service – the same bypasses, the same dumpings and kidnappings.

Council on mystery smell trail By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay council will investigate whether a widespread odour reported in January was caused by a treatment outflow pipe and not seaweed, as claimed by the Environment Protection Authority. The EPA’s pollution hotline received about 400 calls between January 10 and 15 from people reporting a smell described as sewage or seaweed. The EPA said its associate principal odour expert found a large amount of seaweed

had washed up on the coastline near Altona Meadows and concluded the smell was rotting seaweed and mudflats exposed by an extreme low tide. As reported by Star Weekly last month, the council said it did not believe seaweed on the shoreline it manages caused the odour. Cr Sandra Wilson told last week’s council meeting there was a question mark over whether something other than seaweed contributed to the pungent smell. She asked Hobsons Bay director Sherry Clarke if an investigation could be launched

into whether a treatment outflow pipe, located 400 metres from Laverton Creek and close to where the EPA found the seaweed, contributed to the odour. “Could you tell me whether we know from the EPA’s investigation whether anything from the outflow pipe could indeed contribute to the pungency of the odours given that, in my opinion and certainly in the opinion of a lot of the community, that it’s a distinctively different odour from the seaweed that we remove from the beach closer to Altona pier? “Is there any further investigation that could

be undertaken to ensure that there’s nothing – I don’t want to be alarmist – but nothing that could have been missed through the EPA process, because I think we’d say that seaweed smell is one thing, but if there’s a latent public health issue that has anything to do with an outflow pipe, I’d certainly like to be made aware of it.” Ms Clarke said the council would engage an appropriately qualified specialist to collect evidence and report back. “We will then, if appropriate, have further discussions with the EPA.”

Facelift for foreshore Residents have started a grassroots group to clean up the foreshore at Altona. Altona Beach Patrol 3018 was formed by marine biologist Matt McArthur and Melinda Corry in response to a burgeoning litter problem. The group’s first clean-up event earlier this month involved about 50 people picking up more than 90 kilograms of rubbish from the foreshore. Mr McArthur said he was shocked by the amount of litter collected that day because Hobsons Bay council had combed the beach with a tractor just four days earlier. Drink bottles and cigarette butts made up the bulk of the rubbish volunteers picked up. Mr McArthur said the group formed after seeing that the beach was “particularly messy” on a couple of days over summer. “I’ve got a background in marine research, so I love being close to the sea and I really value 10021081-05

our foreshore,” he said. “That couple of days of real mess were the tipping point that got me into trying to do something about it.” The group plans monthly clean-up get-togethers, with the next one scheduled for March 6, meeting at Altona Pier at 2.30pm. “Just being out there that one time a month, I think, will help people realise that it’s a problem,” Mr McArthur said. “That people who didn’t help generate the problem are willing to do something about it, I hope, will inspire more people to not make that a problem in the first place. “If we can reduce the problem to the point where the group becomes redundant that would be the better outcome. “It’s not just happening at the beach, it’s actually happening in our streets.” Visit the group’s page on Facebook.

New jobs blow for shipyard By Goya Dmytryshchak

(Damjan Janevski)

When Melinda Bryce was diagnosed with breast cancer, she soon found out she wasn’t alone. The Yarraville mother of two was 29 when she found a suspicious lump in her breast during a self-examination. “I was diagnosed in July 2014. I have had a couple of operations, chemotherapy and I had a mastectomy on one of my breasts,” she said. “Essentially, they believe they have treated my cancer; now it’s just regular scans.” Her family, friends and community rallied around her, and support was at hand from Pink Hope, a charity that supports women and families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

This Sunday, Ms Bryce will take part in Run for Hope, founded by Pink Hope ambassador Sarah Powell, a neighbour of Ms Bryce’s. The 8.5-kilometre run or 4.25-kilometre run/ walk along the Maribyrnong River starts and finishes in Coulson Gardens, Maribyrnong. “The idea is to raise funds but also awareness about Pink Hope and what they do for people,” Ms Bryce said. “They have been incredibly supportive.” Sunday’s Run for Hope starts at 10am and features entertainment, a raffle, health information and food, along with fun for the kids.

BAE chief executive Glynn Phillips said in November that 150 jobs would be cut in the first quarter of 2016 as work wound down on the AWD program. The cuts come after the federal government invested $40 million in shipbuilding but allocated most work to Adelaide’s naval shipyard. Federal Gellibrand MP Tim Watts said the Williamstown shipyard was a vital source of jobs for the people of Melbourne’s west. “Under this Liberal government almost 1000 jobs have been lost from the shipyards in Williamstown,” he said. “After losing another 50 workers, the shipyard is on its last legs.” The naval shipyard began cutting jobs at Williamstown in late 2014. Last October 28, the Nuship Adelaide left Williamstown for Sydney after BAE finished work on what is Australia’s second landing helicopter dock ship. It is likely to be the last ship to leave the yard.

Williamstown’s shipyard has announced the axing of 50 more jobs. The jobs, to be axed in March, are on top of 200 jobs cut at BAE Systems shortly before Christmas. The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union said the Williamstown shipyard was the second in a fortnight to be faced with closure. Assistant national secretary Glenn Thompson said Forgacs in Newcastle closed just over a week ago and the union had serious concerns for the future of Williamstown’s dockyard. “The response from BAE in shedding these jobs is a response to the lack of action by Malcolm Turnbull and the federal government in not making decisive decisions around our future shipbuilding strategy,” he said. “The government is some 12 months behind in delivering their white paper. We would say that Malcolm Turnbull should be labelled as the grim reaper of Australian shipbuilding jobs.” Defence Minister Marise Payne previously blamed Labor for creating a “valley of death”, or gaps in continuous work, leading to job losses. Her office has not responded to a request for comment on the latest cuts. BAE chief operating officer David Bond said workers were advised on Thursday there would be further reductions to the shipbuilding workforce. He said 50 salaried and trade positions would be made redundant in March. There are currently 150 shipbuilders on site. A further

200 employees in other roles are also working at the site. “The shipbuilding workforce at Williamstown is continuing to meet remaining production milestones on the AWD (Air Warfare Destroyer) program while achieving exemplary performance and safety benchmarks,” Mr Bond said.

Ice trafficker cops jail sentence By Goya Dmytryshchak A drug trafficker involved in a crime syndicate in Williamstown North headed by Fadi Haddara has been sentenced to a minimum of 16 months behind bars. Mohammed El Achkar, 32, was sentenced in the County Court to a maximum of two years and eight months’ jail after pleading guilty to one charge of drug trafficking and being found guilty by a jury of another instance of that offence.

El Achkar was caught as part of Skyborne, a Santiago taskforce operation in which police concealed listening devises and cameras at Haddara’s panelbeating shop in Orange Street, Williamstown North. Between May, 2013, and March, 2014, undercover police conducted 39 transactions with 13 accused, including El Achkar. Covert operatives purchased from the crime syndicate a total of 395 grams of methylamphetamine (ice), two handguns and a sawn-off rifle to a total value of $155,250.

On January 16, 2014, El Achkar, of Doncaster, visited Haddara’s shop and sold him more than two ounces of ice for $13,200, a charge to which he pleaded guilty. The second charge related to January 23, 2014, when El Achkar supplied Haddara with 27.8 grams of ice with a purity of 70 per cent. The Santiago taskforce was established after a spate of shootings in Melbourne’s north-west linked to rival Middle Eastern families, including the Haddaras and Chaouks. In sentencing El Achkar, Judge Howard

Mason said ice was a pernicious drug that impacted markedly on the community. “Those who wish to peddle in this mindaltering poison need to be aware that serious penalties will apply,” he said. “Whilst your addiction to ice can be taken into account in some way in mitigation, it does not excuse your conduct.” Haddara was last year sentenced to just under two years’ jail with no non-parole period and three years on a community corrections order.

Footscray crime writer JM Green was a struggling western suburbs librarian for years before she was shortlisted for a Premier’s award for best unpublished manuscript. Now a full-time writer, Ms Green will host an author’s talk at Altona Meadows on how to get started, and about her debut book, a crime fiction based in Melbourne’s west. Her talk also launches 10th birthday celebrations at Altona Meadows Library and Learning Centre, which attracted more than 120,000 people last financial year. Ms Green’s book, Good Money Money, introduces Stella Hardy, an Ascot Vale social worker with a thirst for social justice, good laksa and alcohol. She says her talk will include a presentation about her “years of rejection”. “I struggled for a really long time and didn’t get anywhere,” Ms Green said. “I was trying to write a literary novel, like a lot of crime writers do, and I got nowhere with it so I abandoned it and started a crime novel.

“That ended up being shortlisted for the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript in 2014. “That was basically a turning point, so I went from being nobody and being rejected, to getting an agent and a book deal.” Her novel’s protagonist will feature in her next book, due on her publisher’s desk next month. “She’s in her 40s, very jaded about the world, about men and her job,” Ms Green said. “She has a neighbour who she gets to know, a very attractive young woman, and it turns out she has this mysterious past as the daughter of a very wealthy mining family from WA.” When the young woman goes missing, Stella Hardy begins to investigate, and a tale unfolds. Ms Green’s talk is on February 23 from 6.30pm-7.30pm. Library celebrations wrap up with a birthday party on February 27.

Art flows to river’s end An art project telling the stories of the Yarra River is about to end its journey in Williamstown. Scenes on the Yarra, the brainchild of Jeminah Reidy, is a community art event featuring live performances and installations along the water’s edge. Attendees will meet in Williamstown on Sunday, February 28, before being led on a two-kilometre walk accompanied by artists. Reidy said this was the last chance to witness the event, which began four years ago. “This will be the ninth location along the Yarra,” she said. “Scenes on the Yarra has meandered its way down the Yarra River from the headwaters to the sea, to its final destination, Williamstown.

“The audience will be led on an extended walk, two kilometres one way, starting at Seaworks with our destination at Point Gellibrand.” Participants will be entertained by 18 performers including dancers, installation artists, musicians, storytellers and puppeteers. “The project seeks to connect us to this river and discover the forgotten stories and history that gives this river and the land its significance,” Reidy said. People are invited to meet at 2pm at Seaworks, 82 Nelson Place, Williamstown. No bookings are necessary. No dogs will be allowed.

Wall to secure Seaholme coast By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay council will next month start work on a $731,000 seawall at Seaholme, with works along the municipality’s 23-kilometre shoreline expected to cost up to $15 million in the next decade. The council will raise the height of the existing wall at Cresser Reserve by 30 to 60 centimetres and fill in any gaps with a new wall built 1.2 metres above ground level. It will also construct a beach access ramp and new drainage system. Deputy mayor Sandra Wilson said the wall

would help protect the coastline from erosion and prevent flooding during storms. “A storm in 2014 all but wiped out a 40-metre section of the Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail and caused localised flooding and considerable damage to Cresser Reserve,” she said. “This revetment will be built to withstand predicted sea level rises over the next 50 years and extreme storm events.” A storm on June 25, 2014 flooded homes along the Esplanade and damaged the foreshore from Cresser Reserve to Apex Park in Altona. Hobsons Bay was one of eight Victorian

councils to receive money to repair storm damage through jointly funded federal-state natural disaster relief and recovery arrangements. Cr Jason Price said the Seaholme project was funded through the council’s capital works program and a grant from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

“Council and the state government will need to invest between $12 million and $15 million over the next 10 years to ensure our foreshore can handle the impacts from climate change or damage caused by storms and extreme weather,” he said. “We will continue to advocate for all levels of government to commit to sharing these ongoing costs. We are privileged to have a beautiful coastline and we know how important it is to preserve it for future generations to enjoy.” The Seaholme works are expected to be completed in 12 weeks.

Goldrush beauty is back One of Melbourne’s oldest pubs is getting a makeover – from top to bottom, inside and out. About $4.5 million has been invested in what’s believed to be the third or fourth oldest pub in Melbourne, the Braybrook Hotel. Opened in 1854, the heritage-listed hotel became a drop-off spot for prospectors on their way to the central Victorian goldfields, where the rush had started three years previously. Recently, some buildings have been the focus of massive renovations – old red brick buildings that were once used as a liquor barn, then a warehouse, have been converted into a conference and function centre and a new international buffet restaurant capable of seating more than 300 people. Pub director Adam Sebastiano said stage two of the project – developing a sports bar and incorporating the old bluestone building – had proved to be challenging but was on track for

an April 1 deadline. A relaunch of the entire complex is scheduled for April 17. In consultation with Maribyrnong council’s heritage team, restorers will now lift the roof of the old pub and replace it with new slate, bringing it back to the look that has defined it for more than 150 years. “From what we can gather the bluestone building was built in 1876,” Mr Sebastiano said. “Our aim was to alter the look of the hotel from Ballarat road. We believe we will achieve this by restoring the bluestone building and façade, as well as adding a modern piece of architecture to the adjoining buildings.” Ben Cameron Buffet manager Paola Castagna outside the Braybrook Hotel.

Think on your feet Inner-west residents are being urged to get on their feet in the wake of research highlighting the ill-effects of prolonged sitting. Professor Stuart Biddle of Victoria Universityâ€™s Institute of Sport, Exercise and Active Living, has teamed with Bluearth Foundation in releasing a report as part of the national health promotion charityâ€™s MoveMoreSitLess initiative. The report, based on a survey of more than 1000 people, shows the average Australian spends nine hours a day sitting down and one in six people sit for more than 11 hours a day. Those levels are associated with increased risks of obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders, heart disease and even a 40 per cent increase in the risk of early death.

â€œTimes have changed where we have shifted from more active to sedentary occupations,â€? Professor Biddle said. Professor Biddle said improving health would take a cultural shift in workplaces alongside people working to increase their movement. â€œThe first step to changing behaviour is to monitor and count sitting times,â€? he said. â€œItâ€™s great to sit less at work but we shouldnâ€™t then assume we can sit all evening.â€? Tips include standing while commuting, walking to colleagues rather than emailing them or taking short walks at breaks. For details, go to wwwmovemoresitless.org. au Benjamin Millar

Kingsville’s metal kings Enthusiasm, hard work and a can-do attitude have helped keep Able Industries Engineering in business in the west for 40 years, according to its owners. The South Kingsville sheet-metal manufacturing company marks its 40th milestone next week, with celebrations planned for the end of this month. Managing director Stephen Martyn, son of Able Industries founder Bryan Martyn, said the family mantra was to provide customer solutions and outstanding service at competitive prices. “I’m very proud of what has been achieved by our family business,” he said. “Long-term sustainability of any business is difficult but to build a successful manufacturing business is

even more difficult. There has been a core group of people that have contributed to the success. Without them, it would not have survived and so I am indebted to them for their hard work.” Able employs about 60 people, with the three longest-serving staff members having clocked up more than 30 years each. Mr Martyn said that although much had changed in 40 years, the company’s community focus remained unchanged. “We are an employer of local people and share a community focus with our company sponsorships,” he said. “The continuous evolution of our diversification and capability has given us a unique competitive advantage.”

MY PLACE Ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8, community leader and former Maribyrnong councillor Cuc Lam tells Benjamin Millar she wants young women to heed her mother’s advice – never let your dreams be limited by other people’s views. I came to Australia in 1978 as a refugee from Vietnam. I escaped by boat. I think I was lucky at the time that Australia had Malcolm Fraser as Prime Minister and it was very sad to lose him recently. We look at him as a role model, as a father and as a supporter. The Vietnamese community was very sad to lose him. How has this shaped your life? I only wanted to help people, supporting people who are in need. Because I came as a refugee if I can help anyone I will help them, taking people to hospital or helping with interpreting. I enjoy helping very much. I was a councillor in Maribyrnong and I enjoyed that. What do you love most about living in Maribyrnong? I really love it in Maribyrnong, it’s very multicultural. I was a refugee living at the Midway Hostel and I really love this area. I enjoy Footscray Market and dining out at the Vietnamese restaurants and the Indian and African restaurants. I enjoy walking around the river for an hour every morning before I go to work. I can hear the birds singing and I speak with people. It’s a very friendly neighbourhood, a very nice area. How did you become involved in the photographic exhibition for International Women’s Day? I’ve been involved with working with the

council. They asked if I would like to be part of International Women’s Day for this year and I was very happy to do it. Coming from my culture I really wanted to share my story with other communities as well. Who has been a role model in your life? When I was a young girl my mother was a role model. My father passed away and my mother had to care for five children. She worked very hard, there was no welfare system. My mother always encouraged me to do whatever I can with no restrictions. What is your message to young women in the area? If they try they can do anything. I’d like to encourage young women to be involved with a leadership role, for their confidence and to be a role model for others. This is why I really encourage them to get involved in volunteering in support of the community. I’ve been involved on a voluntary basis with Western Region Health Centre, the Migrant Resource Centre, the Western English Language School and the Vietnamese Community Association Victorian Chapter. I was accepted with open arms and I think I can give back. Discover more about the story of Cuc Lam and other inspirational local women at an event to celebrate International Women’s Day at Braybrook library from 3-6.30pm Tuesday, March 8.

Opposite St John’s Primary School, a walk from Barkly Village and with Whitten Oval, hospitals and Highpoint shopping centre within leisurely reach, this made-over late-Edwardian is in a star location. Features include high ceilings with either ornate plasterwork or straps, a gorgeous art deco fireplace and floorboards in most rooms. Two of the three bedrooms have wardrobes and share a bathroom/European laundry cleverly brought up to date and including good storage. An open-plan living-dining room has French doors to a wonderful deck under a nascent muscat grapevine. The kitchen is in ’50s retro style with a gas cooker. The backyard has lawn, garden beds, a boxed vegie patch and a shed. There’s off-street parking for one car.

With buses on the doorstep, Highpoint shopping centre nearby and train station a few minutes away, this house has location all sewn up. On about 334 square metres it offers a genuine chance for first-time buyers to get into the market and will also have investors showing interest. Three bedrooms (two with built-in wardrobes) have polished floorboards, as does the spacious lounge room at the front. The sparkling bathroom has an upgraded vanity unit. Patterned vinyl lines the floor of the kitchen and meals area and stained timber doors, skirts and window frames add a nice contrast to white wall paint. The modern kitchen has white cabinetry with black benchtops, grey glass splashback and stainless-steel 900mm cooker. A split-system takes care of climate control. A roller door provides access to a garage entered from the rear right-of-way.

Already hot in a property market just getting hotter, Newport is the suburb CBRE Residential Projects has chosen to gather an outstanding team around them to deliver The Mill, a three-level limited collection of one, two and three bedroom villas and townhouses. CBRE’s Victorian director Nic Cuni says rapidly-gentrifying Newport has undeniable appeal for owner-occupiers and investors alike, with a development such as The Mill fitting in like a hand-in-glove. “The Mill’s façade aesthetics, though bold architecturally, sit comfortably in a leafy, residential neighbourhood where most houses show Victorian, Edwardian or Californian bungalow styles,” says Nic. “The townhouses are also in the thick of Newport’s vibrant coffee culture, and well-known eateries, such as Pint of Milk. “There’s a huge park just steps away, it’s a couple of streets from The Strand and ‘around the corner’ from the café/arts culture of Yarraville and Spotswood. “And the train, no more than a few hundred metres away, has commuters into the city within five stops.” But it’s not just the location and lifestyle that will have buyers excited. The Mill harnesses the talents of KUD architectural practice, Plus Interiors and Pomeroy Pacific to provide a high-end alignment with CBRE. These renowned firms have each been involved in some of Melbourne’s cutting-edge projects – their websites reveal all. If a third-level townhouse with three bedrooms, a study and a rooftop terrace, where bay, park and city views are at their most dazzling (at $1.3 million) isn’t in your ballpark, there are other offerings, such as a one-bedroom villa at $420,000. Each dwelling is immaculately finished, with designer kitchen and living areas that

attract maximum light, and each has an outdoor area. “Investors are showing strong interest in Newport where there aren’t a lot of apartment rentals. In fact, Newport attracts among the highest level of searches for off-the-plan builds, and is one of the lowest in supply,” Nic says. “First-home buyers and downsizers will also find The Mill a chance to get into something special.” The opening will take place on site on February 26 and 27, at 6 Paine Street, Newport. For visitor information, call Nic Cuni on 0424 523 532. Otherwise view all details at www.themillnewport.com.au.

WILLIAMSTOWN 27 Princes Street, 3016 Greg Hocking Elly Partners: 8387 0000

Price: $820,000 – $880,000

The classic double-fronted, block façade of this Edwardian timber belle has original timber fretwork out front and turned wooden posts on front and back verandahs. Inside this century-old residence, original Baltic pine floorboards feature throughout, as do ornate fireplaces, light switches, doors and their handles, sash and leadlight windows, deep skirts, intricate cornices and high ceilings, all beautifully counterpointed by a soft white decor. Three bedrooms flank the main hall. All have plantation shutters, two have built-in

Auction: February 20 at 2.30pm

wardrobes and one has a cast-iron fireplace with period surround. The main bedroom is to the right of entry. From the hallway, a four-panel timber door opens into the elegant lounge room, here, three sash windows with leadlight upper panes and a cast-iron fireplace with a gorgeous period mantel and surround are period high notes. The main bathroom is adjacent to the lounge room and has had a tasteful makeover. It takes a modern spin with the inclusion of designer black-and-white wall

tiles, but remains true to its era with a pedestal vanity and period-style tapware. The beautifully family-meals zone at the end of the hall is also a tribute to blends of old and new. There are timber benchtops and white cabinetry with black drawer pulls, showcasing an on-trend style. The kitchen gas a ’60s-inspired splashback and a 900mm stainless-steel cooker set in the original brick chimney. There’s a big walk-in pantry off the meals area. From here, an extra large glass-paned door opens onto a paved, undercover

pergola, from where the external laundry is accessed. The delightful back yard features free pickings of fig, lemon, lime, peach and olives, in season. On a one-way street in one of the only streets in Williamstown with footpath parking (yes you read right), the house has ducted heating and refrigerated cooling. There’s also a ‘secret’ lined loft that is ideal for storage, or perhaps a study retreat. Eleanor Tabone

SPORT Reds face reality test By Lance Jenkinson

■ There have been some interesting moves at Werribee Park Golf Club. At a special meeting last month, Peter Haberecht was elected as a new director, the $150 bar levy was withdrawn and the affiliation fees to Golf Victoria increased to $65. Seven-day membership is now $1305 a year, which still makes Werribee Park one of the best-value 18-hole courses in the west. In other news, Ross Smith has resigned from the board. ■ Former world boxing champion Barry Michael is holding a big fight night at the Melbourne Pavilion in Flemington on Friday, February 26. The main bout features local boy Zac ‘Dynamo’ Dunn, a former St Kevin’s student, who took up boxing to get fitter for footy but decided to embark on a boxing career. He had 170 amateur fights and since turning professional has won all his 19 bouts. Now he fights Rogerio Damasco in the night’s main bout. Michael is excited by Dunn and says he’s only a couple of fights away from a big purse. Tickets available at 0410 506 435 or visit Barry Michael Boxing on Facebook. The card will screen live on Channel 31. ■ The Hoppers Crossing Junior Netball Association, which has been around since 1972, recently opened its new facilities at Mossfiel Reserve. The club is looking for players and teams for its Saturday morning junior competitions in U9, U11, U13, U15, U17 and Open (U21). It also runs an excellent Net Set Go program for kids from 5-10, which is an introduction to the basic skills such as catching, passing and footwork. The club is also looking for teams for the Thursday Twilight comp starting next week. Contact the registrar, Lisa Caithness, on 0413 012 376 or email lisa. caithness60@hotmail.com

Shock win shakes up final round

Spotswood has stunned Seddon and shaken up the VTCA north west division finals race. The Woodsmen only had 192 runs to defend at Hanmer Reserve on Saturday, but they routed the Dockers for just 82. The final round for both Spotswood and Seddon is now unlikely to go their way. At least the Woodsmen’s win over a local rival will linger well. After an 88 not out by skipper Andrew Dickinson on day one, the Woodsmen defended well, with Jeremy Brown and Ashley Robertson taking three wickets apiece. Laverton is closer to the dreaded wooden spoon after a thrashing by Keilor Park, while Altona North is stuck in the bottom two after losing to Airport West-St Christophers. In senior division, Yarraville Club trounced Tullamarine by 178 runs to take second spot. In west A1, Altona Roosters remain without a win this year, but are still clinging to top spot on the back of their strong pre-Christmas form.

56 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 17, 2016

The Roosters 70-run loss to Williamstown CYMS opens them up to a raid by red-hot St Andrews, unbeaten since round two. The Saints held a 26-run win over Wyndham Vale after 4-29 from Mathew Pipczak. In Premier Cricket, Footscray Edgewater posted 258 on the road against Melbourne, which made 0-31 in reply at the Albert Ground. Dean Russ (87) and Lucas Dredge (45no) were the standout batsmen for the Bulldogs. In sub-district, Altona posted 211 against Williamstown, led by Aaron Maynard (64), Shane Jones (53) and Greg Sheehan (47). Murray Ring was the chief destroyer for the Seagulls with 5-61. Yarraville made 7-225 to leave its clash with Moorabbin hanging in the balance heading into the second day on Saturday. Veteran David Wolfe top-scored for the Eagles with 54. Lance Jenkinson

■ Sad to hear of the passing last week of Graeme Bugge, who was well known in local cricket circles after umpiring at District level for many years. Graeme was a life member and former president, secretary and committee man of the Victorian Cricket Association Umpires and Scorers. He was also a life member of Footscray Edgewater Cricket Club and served there in a number of positions. I remember Graeme as a great bloke from my time playing with his son, David, at Hoppers Crossing. My condolences to Sue and the entire Bugge family, including his 12 grandchildren. He’ll be missed.

Laverton Park faces all the same challenges as the other state league 5 clubs after it was relegated to the bottom tier of Football Federation Victoria state league last season. These include the trouble of attracting and retaining players as a lower ranked side. In the opening knockout round this weekend, the Reds travel to Meadow Park significantly weaker than the side that finished bottom of state league 4 last campaign. Off-season hits have been two-fold for the Reds, with promising youngsters leaving for higher levels and a lack of cast-iron commitments from new players. Only 25 are locked in at this early stage. With time before the start of the season, player numbers will rise in the coming weeks, but the Reds cannot afford to register players now for the cup competition without a 100 per cent commitment – it would be money wasted if players go elsewhere before the season proper. But it also means the Reds will field a significantly weakened team against Meadow Park, compared to its finals squad in April. “It is a bit strange because it’s so early in the season,” Reds’ coach Vince De La Plaza told Star Weekly. “We’ve only been training four weeks and now we’ve got a game. “It’s a good test for some of the kids to play in a cup game. [But] my focus is more on the season and trying to win the league and go back up to state league 4.” De La Plaza does not know much about his north state league 5 opposition, but has word Meadow Park will be in a similar position, wanting to promote youngsters for the opening round of the FFA Cup. “We played them last year in a practice game,” De La Plaza said. “I know they’ve got a lot of young kids in their team.” Irrespective of the personnel, Laverton Park will fight hard to get out of the qualifying phase. The Reds need a win after its nightmare 2015 season and a long off-season. “It would be good to get a win to change the morale a bit in the team after last year, but I can’t expect too much, we don’t know what players we have available,” De La Plaza said. De La Plaza took over as coach of the senior team with six rounds to go last season. The Reds asked him to consider taking up the role again this season, and he jumped at the chance. “I know a lot of the boys and the boys know me, and they respect me, so it’s good,” he said. “I still enjoy being part of the group; it does keep me young.” De La Plaza is still on the lookout for new players. Anyone interested should get in contact with the club.

Leeds teen gilds Seagulls’ nest By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown import Mosun Hussain is not afraid of a little bit of pressure … it is what drives the Englishman each time he steps into the crease. There will be no bigger moment in his summer than when the opening batsman takes guard on Saturday against arch-rivals Altona at Grant Reserve. It will be a season-defining day in his club’s sub-district season. The Seagulls, at 0-8, need to reach 212 or they are dust when it comes to this season’s finals. Hussain is just a kid in senior cricket, at 18, but don’t let his age fool you. The boy from Leeds is one of the Seagulls’ leading batsmen, with 263 runs at 37.6 being the best average on the team. He expects to play a leading role each time he steps out onto the field. “That’s my job, scoring runs for the team and making those match-winning performances,” he told Star Weekly. “Having a presence at the crease, staying on top of the bowlers, hitting

nice and straight, making sure that I’m there to stay and making it hard for the bowlers to get me out.” Hussain took a while to adapt to Melbourne, realising the pitches are not as bouncy as he thought. His first three knocks were scores of four, eight and one. Then he turned on the style to blast 114 against Melton, 92 not-out a game later against Ormond and 40 after Christmas against Elsternwick. If Hussain is back in that frame of mind, watch out Altona. He would love nothing more than to produce another big score, but his approach will not change. “I’m not putting too much pressure on myself, but I’ll keep backing myself, knowing my strengths and sticking to them,” Hussain said. “I play my best when I’m enjoying my cricket, and that’s what I plan to do.” Hussain is a developing player in the Yorkshire county cricket system. His talent was obvious from a young age and he featured in England’s under-19s.

Hussain looks at Yorkshire’s full England internationals Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance for inspiration. “These players have gone on to play with England because they’ve performed at county level,” Hussain said. “That’s who I look up to and what I want to achieve in the future. “If I keep putting in the hard work and keep doing what I’m doing and staying dedicated, hopefully it will come to some success.” Hussain feels indebted to Williamstown for accepting him into their club and to the Roccos, his host family, for making him “feel part of the family”. “Coming to a different country and a family letting me in like they have and making me feel welcome, it’s something that, hopefully in the future, I can pay back for them because they’ve been brilliant to me,” Hussain said. Once his time in the Seagulls nest is up, Hussain embarks on a massive season with Yorkshire, where he will get to see how much his game has improved by playing abroad. “That’s why I came here, to learn a lot.”

Mosun Hussain has spent a lot of time working on his craft in the nets this summer. (Damjan Janevski)

Sports shorts Bowls

For a second week running, Altona has suffered an agonising three-shot defeat in Bowls Victoria premier division, this time by 89-86 away to Clayton. The A’s face an uphill task to reach the finals, having tumbled to sixth on the ladder. Fourth-placed Yarraville-Footscray strengthened its finals bid with a 79-64 victory over Bundoora RSL. This Saturday’s penultimate derby between Yarraville-Footscray and Altona at Francis Street will go some way to deciding which local sides will feature in the finals.

Baseball

Newport Rams went down 3-1 to Cheltenham in a low-scoring game in Baseball Victoria summer league division 1 on Sunday. Second-last, the Rams remain a game clear of cellar-dweller Sunshine Eagles heading into the final round. In division 2, Williamstown Wolves fell to fifth after a 5-3 defeat to Berwick City on Sunday, leaving their finals hopes in jeopardy, while in division 3, Footscray has been consigned to the wooden spoon after a 14-6 loss to St Kilda. In women’s division 1, Footscray had its score doubled by finals-bound Doncaster in a 14-7 loss.

Yarraville Club all-abilities coach Hussain Hanif and team manager Lorraine Woodman talk tactics. (Luke Hemer)

Clubbers show ability to step up a level Yarraville Club has long been admired for its success at senior level. The Clubbers are a powerhouse of VTCA and have a three-peat of premierships in their sights this summer. After a satisfying decade of dominance for the seniors, there was a key piece in the jigsaw puzzle missing, which needed to be addressed for the long term sustainability of the club. Clubbers’ junior development officer Hussain Hanif told Star Weekly everyone talked about its success, but the reality is, the club was good at the top, but had no juniors coming through. “We’re trying to get more juniors,” he said. The Clubbers have become pioneers in a short space of time. Hanif has a background in junior development and working with people with disabilities in sport. Aside from his commitment to boosting junior numbers, Hanif asked the Clubbers if they were interested in setting up an

all-abilities cricket team. The Clubbers jumped at the chance to take the club to a new level, and pulled out all stops to make the project a success, providing transport, kits and coaching for the players. The reaction to the new all-abilities team ha been overwhelming. The Clubbers could only enter two teams in the Melbourne All Abilities Cricket Association, but had a staggering 60 registered players travelling from as far as Geelong to be part of the team. “I used to run programs in New Zealand for people with a disability,” Hanif said. “They have a league running here, so I said to the cricket club, we’ve got the opportunity to run something like this. We put the word out and there were people with a disability coming from everywhere wanting to play cricket. “In the west, it’s kind of sad that we were the only club to put our hand up and say ‘alright,

we’re going to do it’. They’ve got the opportunity to excel in the sport, where previously in the western suburbs, it was never provided. “They can go on and play for Victoria and Australia as well.” Even more astounding has been Yarraville Club’s results. The Clubbers are undefeated in both the Super League and the 10-over tonk. They will host the Super League grand final against Skye at Hansen Reserve on February 28. “It’s been phenomenal,” Hanif said. “We’ve played all over Victoria and we’ve come out on top quite convincingly in every game.” He is hoping all-abilities cricket in the west grows and that more clubs get involved in the future. In the meantime, Yarraville Club has another premiership to chase in Super League. Lance Jenkinson

Tom Liberatore made a successful return to the playing field in the Western Bulldogs intra-club practice match at the Whitten Oval on Saturday. Liberatore was one of the best players on the ground in his first game back after 12 months on the sidelines with a knee injury. Others to impress were Jack Macrae, Jake Stringer, Nathan Hrovat, rookie Josh Dunkley and four-goal forward Jack Redpath. The Bulldogs first NAB Challenge game will be against GWS Giants in Sydney on February 25. Check out our photo gallery from the Bulldogs intra-club game and family day at starweekly.com.au.
