By Benjamin Millar Parking meters in central Footscray and Yarraville are likely to remain switched off until after the October local government election. Maribyrnong council’s long-running paid parking saga last week took a new turn when councillors rejected a parking policy aimed at guiding future parking needs across Maribyrnong. A suspension of paid parking, in place since last December, is estimated to be stripping more than $200,000 a month from council coffers. Losses could top $2 million by the election. A Destination Parking Management Policy, released for feedback in March, was voted down at last Tuesday night’s city development special committee meeting. The policy recommends preparing “local activity centre reports” for each key location across Maribyrnong and identifies “triggers” for reviews of parking controls. The vote was tied three-all before committee chairman Cr Nam Quach used his casting vote to reject the policy, which was developed after parking meters were switched off in central Footscray and Yarraville village in the face of a widespread public backlash. Under normal council practice it would take at least three months for a redrawn policy to be put before the councillors. If that was to happen with the parking policy it would leave only a matter of weeks before the election. Even if adopted, any policy would require further reports on specific locations being considered for paid parking. Mayor Cameron McDonald and Labor councillors Martin Zakharov and Michael Clarke spoke in support of
the policy, but independent councillors Quach, Grant Miles and Catherine Cumming criticised it as being vague and lacking in detail. Labor councillor Sarah Carter was absent. Public feedback on the draft policy was overwhelmingly negative, much of the criticism suggesting the policy was “meaningless” and lacking in rigour. Cr Quach said he agreed and couldn’t support the “underbaked” and “stunningly vague” policy in its current form. Cr McDonald argued in favour of adopting the policy as a way of increasing car-based turnover. Cr Zakharov said the policy was a way of coming to the end of the trouble caused by last year’s implementation of parking meters in Yarraville. Cr Cumming, who in March voted for the draft policy to be sent out for feedback, said more talks were needed with neighbouring councils to find out what did and didn’t work for them. Cr Grant Miles said he couldn’t support a policy that failed to reflect the changes he had sought in March. Cr Clarke said the call for greater detail in the policy failed to recognise its role. “The whole idea of the policy is to give us a framework; it’s not supposed to be an operational plan.” Footscray Asian Business Association president Wing La said businesses had reported a rise in the number of parking fines being issued as the council aimed to stem parking meter losses. Maribyrnong council chief executive Stephen Wall said the council continued to enforce parking restrictions and enforcement had “marginally increased”. Mr Wall said the meters would not be switched back on until a policy was adopted.

Valuations may add to rate rises By Goya Dmytryshchak Rate rises for many home owners in Hobsons Bay may be much higher than the legislated 2.5 per cent next financial year due to a leap in property valuations. Hobsons Bay council last week released its draft 2015-16 budget for six weeks of community consultation. Rates will be based on new property valuations. Many suburbs in Hobsons Bay have been experiencing double-digit percentage growth in property prices, which will have an impact on the new valuations.
Cr Colleen Gates said that under the council’s new rating strategy, people whose property value had risen by 14.69 per cent over the past two years would receive a 2.5 per cent rate rise. “If the value of your property has increased by more than that, you will see a rate increase that’s more than 2.5 per cent,” she said. Cr Gates said some people might even get a discount if their property value had not risen by 14.69 per cent. According to REIV figures, Altona North, Altona Meadows, Brooklyn and Seaholme recorded growth in house prices of 30 per cent or higher in the past two years. Brooklyn prices
Mayor Peter Hemphill said the council had managed the cap on rate rises by reducing operating expenditure. “There is a common misconception that as property values increase, council receives a windfall gain of additional revenue,” he said. “This is not the case as the revaluation process results in a redistribution of the rate burden across all properties in the municipality.” “While council proposes a rate increase that is in line with the legislated 2.5 per cent cap, the actual rate increases experienced by individual ratepayers will be different due to this being a municipal revaluation year.”
rose 38 per cent, Altona North 36 per cent, Altona Meadows 32 per cent and Seaholme 30 per cent. South Kingsville house prices were up 28 per cent and Altona and Williamstown both grew by 23 per cent. Seabrook recorded the lowest growth in Hobsons Bay at six per cent, while Laverton house prices rose 14 per cent. The council has allocated $33.49 million for capital works, including $11.4 million on roads, trails and footpaths; $1.8 million on drainage; $8.2 million on open space, carparks and facilities; $8.6 million on buildings; and $2.2 million on machinery and equipment.
Artist reaches a fork in the road An unusual exhibition opening in Footscray this week has been a long tine in the making. The Rich Forks, by Yarraville activist and visual artist Van T Rudd, highlights extreme wealth inequality by displaying luxury hotel dinner forks that have been used by some of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people. The exhibition offers plenty of food for thought from 40 forks so far collected in a project spanning more than 15 years. Unwashed forks used by Hillary Clinton, Prince Harry, James Packer and Rupert Murdoch will be on display, drawn from a collection that also includes forks used by John Howard, Sepp Blatter, Richard Branson and Clive Palmer. Rudd, the nephew of former prime minister Kevin Rudd, says the purloining was born of frustration and was never intended to lead to an exhibition. “It began in the workplace and a job I had in the late ’90s,” he said. “I was a waiter, and like many others in the industry I was on the minimum wage, working at these big corporate functions … I would be serving these wealthy people and be ordered around.” Rudd remains tight-lipped as to the process for amassing his fork collection, other than to say it relies on “networking” with people working in the service industry. The artist, no stranger to making pointed political commentary, believes the “reverse looting” of the forks pales into insignificance compared to the trillions of misappropriated dollars recently revealed in the Panama Papers. Rudd carefully chose Footscray Community Arts Centre as the site of his first exhibition, both for its location and history of activism. “Lots of poor people from poorer suburbs in the west have been exploited in serving the interests of the rich,” he said. The Rich Forks opens at the FCAC Gabriel Gallery at 6pm on Thursday, May 5. Details: www.facebook.com/TheRichForks

A man is facing charges after making a citizen’s arrest in Melbourne’s north on Friday night. The Brooklyn car yard worker, 21, said his 4WD was stolen about lunchtime the same day. He posted a notification on his Facebook page asking friends to look out for his car and soon enough it was spotted in Craigieburn. The man was driving with his friends when they saw the car and followed it to Park Street, Epping. Victoria Police spokeswoman Belinda Batty said the man allegedly rammed his own car, causing extensive damage. He and his friends then detained the male driver and female passenger until police arrived. “The driver of the stolen car and his female passenger told police that they were allegedly assaulted by the car owner and his friends prior to police arrival,” Ms Batty said. The driver, 23, of Craigieburn, was hospitalised overnight. He appeared before the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday charged with car theft. The car owner has been interviewed by police and is expected to be charged with conduct likely to cause serious injury in relation to ramming his own vehicle. Police are still investigating the assault allegations.

Kinder decision on hold
More cash for arts centre
1. Altona P-9 College 2. Somers Parade Kindergarten 3. Altona West Kindergarten 4. Altona Kindergarten 5. Seaholme Kindergarten
Kindergarten, situated closest to Altona P-9 College, was already slated for closure. Hobsons Bay chief executive Chris Eddy did not confirm or deny the claim, but said the continued operation of the kindergarten in 2017 was a matter for the committee of management. “With low levels of enrolment, financial viability is a challenge for a stand-alone single-room kindergarten,” he said. Altona Community Action Group
AARON HUNT
(Goya Dmytryshchak)
By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay council has been accused of waiting until after the October 22 local government election to close up to three Altona kindergartens. At last week’s council meeting, councillors rejected their officers’ recommendation to consolidate the Altona, Altona West and Somers Parade kindergarten services to a new $6.9 million early years hub to be built on the Altona P-9 College site. Instead, they resolved to include the kindergarten committees, as well as Seaholme Kindergarten, in a working group to develop concept plans for the new hub. The council resolved to review the concept plan by 2017. The council received $1.6 million in state government funding towards the new hub, which will open in 2019. Staff at the three kindergartens were told last November the centres would be closed and services moved to the new hub. An officers’ report to council stated that while the community preferred to keep and upgrade the existing kindergartens, “the level of current and future demand for four stand-alone facilities in this precinct is not operationally sustainable”. Former mayor Tony Briffa labelled the council’s decision a “stay of execution” for the three council-owned kindergartens in Altona. “It was a decision based on getting councillors re-elected rather than saving valued community facilities,” he said. “Why else would councillors commit to spending over $5 million of ratepayers’ money for a hub and include representatives from the kindergartens in the hub working group?” One source told Star Weekly Altona West
NEWS
spokesman Aaron Hunt said while parents were pleased that a wipeout of the kindergartens had been avoided, they would be watching the council’s actions closely after the election. Mayor Peter Hemphill said the new hub would provide maternal and child health services, long day care, a kindergarten and space for play groups and community meetings. It is likely to include early intervention services, such as occupational therapists and speech pathologists.
The Substation arts venue at Newport will receive $1,050,000 over three years from Hobsons Bay City Council. The former power station turned multidisciplinary arts space changed director in February last year. New director Brad Spolding said he had inherited a difficult financial position. “There was no program last year – that was because the organisation was in a vulnerable financial situation,” he said. “This money for the triennial agreement from Hobsons Bay really allows us a base level of funding to employ 2.4 people, to pay the ongoing maintenance costs of running the venue and then, most importantly, create a foundation by which I can then seek other funding for the program.” Under a previous triennial agreement, The Substation received $200,000 each year for three years but had to apply for additional funding. “What the $200,000 a year meant was that we were having to raise a significant amount of money – you could say $150,000 – through hiring out the venue for weddings, through applying for grant applications,” Mr Spolding said. “It just meant that we were always chasing our tail. We were constantly faced with not being a financiallysustainable organisation.” To view upcoming events at thesubstation.org.au Goya Dmytryshchak

Jo Maria will lead a workshop and perform in Schizophrenia Awareness Week. (Damjan Janevski)
Bass is ace for healing Picking up the bass guitar and singing means much more than just making music for Jo Maria. The Braybrook songwriter has found a peace and contentment that previously eluded her by playing music and writing songs. As part of Schizophrenia Awareness Week activities later this month, Ms Maria will perform and lead workshops at which she will mentor other budding songwriters. She said the experience of being involved in music again had tapped back into a love from earlier in her life. “I have a music degree from 30 years ago at VCA, but I didn’t want to spend all my life playing hour after hour of classical guitar by myself,” she said.
“I got mentally very unwell and had some hard times, but I took up bass guitar 12 months ago and absolutely love it.” She will share what she’s learnt as part of the free “Schizy Week Jam Bam! Big Art Muster” series of workshops in Heidelberg West next Wednesday, ahead of a performance on Friday. “They want me to do four or five of the songs I’ve written over the past 12 months,” she said. Both events will be held in the Bell Street Mall from 11am-2pm on Wednesday, May 11, and from 2-5pm on Friday, May 13. Details: www.schizyjam.org Benjamin Millar
A four-day search for missing Kingsville man Taddeo Haigh ended last Thursday with the discovery of a body in dense bushland. Mr Haigh was last seen leaving a holiday cottage near Merrijig on the night of April 24 after telling family and friends he was going for a walk. A report will be prepared for the coroner.
Footpath protest
Residents of Loretta Court in Seabrook have presented a petition to Hobsons Bay City Council stating they strongly oppose the proposed construction of a footpath in their cul-de-sac. Residents said a footpath would be an invasion of privacy as it would be only two metres from some front doors. They also said it would disrupt parking arrangements and ruin the landscaping and design of properties.

By Benjamin Millar A focus on health, roads and education has driven the Victorian 2016-17 budget’s inner-west spending. Treasurer Tim Pallas last Wednesday confirmed the Victorian government would spend $1.46 billion over four years to complete the $5.5 billion Western Distributor toll road that will connect the West Gate Freeway with the port and CBD. A further $17 million in funding was announced for urgent maintenance at Footscray Hospital and planning for an eventual rebuild of the site’s crumbling south block. Health Minister Jill Hennessy announced that Western Health would receive $61.3 million over four years as part of a $2.45 billion statewide package for health, including $817 million in infrastructure upgrades for hospitals. Western Health chief executive Alex Cockram said the $61.3 million, which will largely go towards an additional 64 beds at Sunshine Hospital, was great news for the west. Greens MP Colleen Hartland said the state government had failed to commit the $300 million needed to rebuild Footscray Hospital. “Three wards and 73 beds have already closed at the hospital due to their aged state, so it’s hard to believe Footscray Hospital has missed out on redevelopment funding,” she said.
Asked about the urgent funding needed to halt the closure of Williamstown Hospital’s emergency department, a spokeswoman for Ms Hennessy said funding would be allocated to individual hospitals, including Williamstown Hospital though policy and funding guidelines to be released in the middle of the year. “This is standard practice and occurs every year,” she said.

The budget provides more than $1 million to ensure the Westgate Punt ferry continues between Spotswood and Port Melbourne until at least 2020. Newport Lakes Primary School was allocated $3 million to upgrade and modernise its ageing buildings. The budget included $500,000 towards the new Footscray Learning Precinct on top of $1 million provided last year. Shadow treasurer Michael O’Brien said Labor’s budget showed state taxes had jumped by $3.7 billion, or 20.7 per cent, in just two years. “That’s less money in the pockets of Victorian families to spend and for businesses to invest,” he said. – with Goya Dmytryshchak
Flair with a chair Puzzled commuters have 15 years to solve the mystery of “the man with the chair” at Footscray station. For two hours every Thursday morning, for the next 15 years Seddon performer David Wells will conduct an experiment in public art known as Weekly Ticket. Co-creators Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey say the idea was hatched a number of years ago following a call for artists to create a public artwork as part of the redeveloped Footscray station. Flynn says their eye was caught by the mention of a 15-year “maintenance budget” for the artwork. “In a way that was a provocation, to consider what if the artwork was a performance that is based in time, something that is based somewhere and runs for that length of time.” The concept was shared with Seddon performer David Wells who jumped at the opportunity to be involved. “His local community means a lot to him and when we proposed this to David he said ‘this is my dream job’.” While many commuters may only see the performance once and wonder what it’s about, others will grow familiar with its recurring presence and may begin to engage in different ways. Humphrey says over time guest artists from across the globe will be invited to take part, but for now Wells is slowly establishing a space he will inhabit for the long haul. Wells says he didn’t have to think twice about committing to a project that began in February and will run until 2031. “As soon as we talked about it, it was the most exciting thing I could think of doing,

An Altona bank teller has lost a work compensation claim that she suffered hand and shoulder injuries from carrying money bags and counting cash. The Melbourne Magistrates Court heard that the woman, 57, made her claim for a “right hand, arm and shoulder condition with bad headaches due to pain”. This was allegedly caused by “counting money, notes and coin, picking up coin bags and handling and doing my daily job as a CSO [customer service officer]”. The woman stated she was repeatedly handling bags of coins that needed to be emptied from the coin machine and which she then carried some 15 metres to a safe. She estimated each bag weighed six to 11 kilograms. She said she did this two or three times a day and would sometimes carry three calico bags at a time. In one incident report, she stated the cause of her injuries was “handling bulk coin, poor design of safe, bending, stretching and on knees to get to bottom of safe”. She claimed to have been incapacitated for employment since December 2013 and that this was likely to continue. Magistrate Phillip Ginnane dismissed the plaintiff’s claim, saying he was not satisfied that her shoulder pain or carpal tunnel syndrome were caused by work. “The weight of the medical evidence I have referred to is against such a finding.”

Property owners pushing for a tunnel beneath the Maribyrnong River say three new bridges planned as part of the Western Distributor will destroy the chance to reinvent Footscray’s waterfront precinct. The $5.5 billion freeway connecting the West Gate Freeway with the CBD and CityLink will include three bridge crossings that pass just metres from properties including the Docklands Cotton Mills and Dream Factory. Simon Kemp, a property owner and business operator in the former cotton mills, says noise, vibration and air pollution from the freeway will destroy the value of adjoining properties and the amenity of the area. He said a freeway running so close to the former mill threatens the riverside precinct’s growing reputation as a magnet for small start-ups and creative industries. “It’s going to be absolutely hideous, we’re going to be covered in diesel soot 24 hours a day and there is all the noise it will cause,” he said. Detailed designs for the route show the northern portal of a tunnel beneath Yarraville will emerge west of the Maribyrnong River before crossing the river via three bridges. Western suburbs Greens MP Colleen Hartland said she was concerned three flyover roads over the river would impact on amenity and the “incredible views of the city”. “The walking and cycling track along the river today is really pleasant. With three massive freeway flyovers this will no doubt be ruined.” A spokesman for Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said the Western Distributor design will continue to change to reflect feedback from the community.

House price records tumble By Emily Power/Domain A once-blue-collar industrial suburb has hit rich new real estate heights. The property price record in Spotswood was broken at auction on Saturday, for the second time in a month. The record of $1,456,000 is enough to make old sons of the west, who would remember the era before local drinking holes were trendy gastro pubs, choke on their ale. The opening bid of $1.4 million for 40 Reed Street instantly put the property $500,000

above the suburb’s previous record. Two bidders were eager to win the keys to the California bungalow, which had a glossy renovation in 2008 and sits on a generous 600-square-metre block. Biggin & Scott auctioneer Tristan Tomasino said prices in Spotswood had been propelled by purchasers who could not afford nearby Yarraville and Seddon. The large size of the blocks in Spotswood also contributed to the premiums paid, he said. Spotswood’s previous record didn’t hold
for long. It was set by the sale of another California bungalow, which fetched $1.35 million on April 9. A young couple won the keys at auction and celebrated with a kiss as the hammer fell on 31 Bolton Street. The Spotswood house had been extensively renovated and is in the shadow of the West Gate Bridge, providing – at times – speedy access to the CBD. A flourishing cafe scene and the proximity to the city are driving prices in Spotswood, agent Craig Stephens said.
Making waves pays off Organisers of Altona Beach Film Festival, now in its second year, are hoping to attract entries from around the world. This year’s theme is ‘waves’ and filmmakers are being urged to use their artistic interpretation, says festival president Annette Stephens. “It could be the obvious water wave or it could be a wave of emotion or the wave of the hand … a wave of immigrants arriving in the country.” Films, including titles and credits, can be no longer than seven minutes. “We had 20 entries last year so I’d like to get 50 this year,” Ms Stephens says. “We know that everybody likes films and watches films and everybody can make a film now on their camera. It’s quite easy. “There’s a lot of stuff on YouTube that people have made in a few minutes.” The judging panel comprises professional
local filmmakers, producers and directors. Awards will be presented in age categories of under 13, under 21 and open age. There will also be a people’s choice award. Prize money and awards will be presented at a film screening on August 20. Entries close June 30. Details: altonabeachfilmfestival.com.au Goya Dmytryshchak

War snapper uncovered By Goya Dmytryshchak Yarraville author Jeff Raynard has made four trips to the US in pursuit of information about Australia’s official World War I photographer, Sir Hubert Wilkins. Raynard’s discoveries are included in his latest book, The Unseen Anzac, which he will discuss at next month’s Williamstown Literary Festival. Raynard has unearthed never-before-seen records, correspondence, manuscripts and artefacts belonging to Wilkins. “He wasn’t there to fight the war so he didn’t carry a gun; he only carried his bulky camera,” Raynard said. “He did go over the top with the troops because he wanted to run forward and photograph the fighting, which no one had ever done before. “On a couple of occasions, he actually captured German prisoners … in terms of Australia’s official photographers that’s a unique thing to do. “He talked about those things in his manuscripts and, along with things I found, that became the basis of the book. “The most recent trip to America was the end of 2014 … I found a lot of his stuff in, of all places, an Amish barn in Michigan.” Raynard will appear at the Williamstown Literary Festival from noon-1pm on June 18, the first day of the two-day festival. The festival program, featuring more than 80 authors, will be launched by Australian Children’s Laureate Leigh Hobbs in Williamstown Town Hall on Thursday (May 4). Tickets go on sale the same day and early bird discounts are available until midnight on May 31. To view the festival program, visit willylitfest.org.au

THE
Yarraville man ‘driven to kill’ A mentally ill Yarraville man who killed his elderly father with a claw hammer when he was hanging up the washing has been ordered to spend up to 25 years in the state’s maximum security psychiatric hospital. Supreme Court Justice Michael Croucher on Monday said Slave “George” Pedevski believed he had to kill his father on God’s orders. Justice Croucher said Pedevski had been refusing to take his medication for chronic paranoid schizophrenia for months because he did not believe there was anything wrong with him. The judge placed Pedevski on a custodial supervision order to be served at the Thomas Embling psychiatric hospital for a nominal 25 years after he had been found not guilty of murder due to mental impairment. Pedevski, 51, who appeared via videolink from Thomas Embling because appearing in court caused him distress, attacked his father, Risto, 79, with a claw hammer at the family’s Yarraville home on November 23, 2014. When later interviewed by police, Pedevski claimed his real parents were living in Macedonia and he believed the people living with him at the family’s Yarraville home were imposters. Psychiatrist Grant Lester said Pedevski was driven to kill his father by paranoid delusions that he believed God was directing him to do things. Mark Russell, The Age

The Age report on the wreck of TSS Coramba and, right, Captain John Henry Dowling. (Supplied)
Plaque for lost Captain A memorial seat and plaque will be installed along the Strand in Williamstown in honour of Captain John Dowling, who was lost at sea when his ship sank 82 years ago. The 47-year-old departed Williamstown in November, 1934, for one last journey on the cargo steamer TSS Coramba. The return trip to Warrnambool in the state’s south-west to collect goods meant he was expected to be gone for a fortnight. By the time the Coramba was due to leave Warrnambool, the weather had turned. Captain Dowling requested permission from the shipping office to delay his return, but was ordered out to sea. In one of Victoria’s worst maritime disasters, the Coramba capsized off Phillip Island during a storm on November 30, 1934, and all 17 on
board died. The 50-metre vessel was trying to seek refuge in Western Port Bay when it capsized before any lifeboats could be released. In 2011, maritime historian Des Williams and diver Mark Ryan, of not-for-profit Southern Ocean Exploration, ended one of the state’s most enduring shipwreck mysteries when they found the Coramba lying on its port side 66 metres beneath the surface, 15 kilometres south-east of Phillip Island. Southern Ocean Exploration had spent nearly $30,000 and eight years searching for the Coramba before the unexpected find. The memorial to Captain Dowling will be placed near his former home at 30 Strand, Williamstown. The Age

Club on par for honour By Goya Dmytryshchak Kooringal Golf Club at Altona has been named Golf Club of the Year in the Community Clubs Victoria awards. The club was recognised for improving facilities on and off the course “tremendously” in recent years. The judges said the course changes undertaken a decade ago had bedded down and were in perfect tune with the older part of the course.
‘‘
The members have been beaming
’’
- Anthony White
The club was also recognised for its community outreach and promotion of golf. General manager Anthony White said it was a great result for the western suburbs considering only 20 per cent of Melbourne’s golfing facilities were in the west. “Even though we were a finalist, and as I thought an outside chance, the board and staff were so excited with the win,” he said. “It reinforces all the hard work the club has been putting in over the last three years. “The line ‘more than just a golf club’ is a mantra we have been using to connect with the wider Altona and Hobsons Bay community – this win is a vindication of that belief. “The members have been beaming and have an extra skip in their step since the win has been announced.” The club has been an Altona and western suburbs institution since 1946, and features a traditional-style golf course in excellent year-round condition.

It has a loyal membership base with some clocking up 50 years’ service and it has moved to boost the number of junior golfers, which the club sees as key to its long-term future. Two years ago, the Kooringal Golf Club Foundation was created to establish a permanent fund, independent of club administration, in support of juniors.
Mr White said the foundation aimed to encourage young people from diverse economic and ethnic backgrounds to play golf. “We have about 30-35 juniors and we’re hoping to double that in the next 12-18 months via the use of this foundation.” For information on the foundation, visit kooringalgolf.com.au
A brew to be wolfed down There’s something sinister brewing at Australia’s first female-owned brewery in Spotswood. Two Birds Brewing has made a special edition Mick’s Bitter to celebrate the launch of the TV series Wolf Creek. Named after the show’s sadistic killer, Mick Taylor, the brew is described as capturing the essence of the Australian outback. Two Birds co-owners, Yarraville’s Jayne Lewis and Danielle Allen, said they were inspired by Wolf Creek’s strong female heroine. Mick’s Bitter will be on tap at a Wolf Creek Roadhouse pop-up bar in Federation Square from May 5-8. The brew celebrates the launch of the new six-part Wolf Creek series coming to Stan. It’s described as an “Australian-style beer made with ale, wheat and Vienna malt to give a light, crisp body for that refreshing hit”. Ms Allen said the beer captured the unique Aussie outback in a glass. “The Wolf Creek story has become iconic in a very gruesome kind of way,” she said. “You only need to think about that spine-chilling laugh that John Jarratt [Taylor] has perfected in his character.” On the pop-up bar’s opening night, from 6pm, fans will be able to meet Wolf Creek stars including John Jarratt and Lucy Fry. Wolf Creek premiers on Stan on May 12 with all six episodes available at once. Goya Dmytryshchak

Determination runs deep It has been a long road back for Williamstown’s Lance Bombardier, Brendan Dover, who six years ago lost part of his left leg and use of his left hand in a bomb blast in Afghanistan. Dover, 34, will represent Australia in the 400 metres at this month’s Invictus Games for wounded warriors. Deployed to Afghanistan in 2010, he recalls the fateful mission in Uruzgan Province that turned his world upside down. “We were on a large sweeping patrol just before winter,” Dover said. “It was supposed to be a five-day operation but we were two or three days behind, so it was really slow, tedious, patrol. “Then on the fifth day, there was nothing really happening – we weren’t getting shot at or anything else like that.” His patrol was entering Koala Complex when a man in front of him slipped into an aqueduct. “I presumed it was clear because nothing went off, he was in front of me,” Dover said. “I did one clean jump and, ‘bang’, off I went. When I got blown up, I thought it was someone else. “The eardrums were blown out, smoke everywhere, and I tried to stand up a couple of times and fell over. “It wasn’t until I saw the arm was at a 90-degree angle, the bone was protruding, and I sat on my back to get comfortable to put the tourniquet on … when I realised the foot’s not there.” A medic and another combatant ran a kilometre through enemy land to provide assistance. Dover spent seven days in a coma before being transferred to Germany and eventually back to Australia. He spent four months in rehab and

contracted an infection not previously seen in Australia. “I was basically a bubble boy for the first two months,” he said. “Everyone that came in had the full gowns … if that infection had have got out, it’s an epidemic in Australia. “That took a couple of months … dealing with international doctors to ascertain how to treat it.” From there, Dover underwent more surgeries, including more than 20 to his left arm.
Dover, who now works for 1st Commando Regiment at Fort Gellibrand in an administrative role, said the road to recovery had been long. He recently placed third in the para-skeleton world championships and is eagerly looking forward to the Invictus Games. “I am proud to be representing Australia at these Games,” he said. “I have a very competitive nature so I won’t go down without a fight.
“During rehab, probably one of the things that motivated me was that you could see others who gave up and you saw how they were discharged from hospital – in a wheelchair or those motorised vehicles. “I just said, ‘That’s not me’.” The Invictus Games, initiated by Prince Harry, are expected to attract more than 400 competitors from 14 nations. They will be held in Orlando, Florida, from May 8-12.

MY PLACE Williamstown’s Rachael Robertson led an Antarctic expedition in 2005 and wrote a best seller called Leading on the Edge about her experience. She is also an ambassador for Australia Day and R U OK. She speaks with Goya Dmytryshchak. (Joe Mastroianni)
What’s your connection to Hobsons Bay? When I returned from Antarctica I became the chief ranger of Port Phillip Bay with Parks Victoria based in Nelson Place. It was an amazing place to work and a great introduction to Hobsons Bay and its people. When I got married and had my son we were looking for somewhere to live that had a strong community spirit, lots of open space, and a great primary school. Williamstown ticked all the boxes. Tell me a bit about your work in Antarctica. I led a year-long expedition based at Davis Station. I had 120 people working on the station throughout summer, then they returned home in February and 18 of us remained behind to maintain the site until November. With no way in or out it’s a challenging place to live. The environment is harsh – minus 35 degrees, months of darkness, constant blizzards – but that’s not a patch on living with 17 other people, around the clock, for an entire year. My job as station leader was to bring together a very diverse group of individuals and get them working as a team. Our golden rule was ‘respect trumps harmony’, that is, we won’t always see eye to eye and that’s fine, but we will always treat each other with respect. What are you passionate about and why? I’m passionate about broadening our conversations around diversity. We often think of diversity as gender or culture but there are so many other factors including age, religion, sexuality, educational background,

stage-of-life, even thinking preferences. People are all different, and that’s wonderful, and we need to respect those differences. I’m also passionate about ‘No triangles’, which is the practice of only having direct conversations, not moaning to a third party. It’s such a simple rule for any team and it builds trust, which was critical for my team in Antarctica – as it is for all teams.

What do you love about Williamstown?
What would you change about it?
I love the open space and the gentle, friendly pace. It’s not frenetic like some places and there is a real sense of community. People genuinely take the time to get to know other people here. Also, after living in Antarctica for a year I’m pleased to live somewhere with a milder winter.
Nothing at all. It’s not perfect for everyone, but for my family and I it’s pretty close to it. What’s your favourite local cafe/eatery? The Kiosk d’Asporto on the beach. I could camp out there all day if I didn’t have to work.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir fights off burger burnout . . . and he’s glad he did Consider The Sauce has addressed Melbourne’s fixation with burgers a couple of times in recent months. We’ve even been known to mutter about burger burnout. So what do we do? We eat more of them! This is not a burden when the ones we try are so very, very good. And it’s a special pleasure when we find them at places that are not part of the developing burger scene as such. First, there was the fabulous burger ’n’ chips combo at Searz in Newport. Next, it’s twin Gemelli burgers at a newish cafe/grill in Point Cook. Recently opened Gemelli is already a big hit with locals. And so it should be! It’s in a commercial precinct on the opposite side of the freeway from Williams Landing station. So new is the neighbourhood that there’s building activity aplenty. But for locals, and the overwhelming majority of them around here are young families, there’s not a lot about in terms of food so Gemelli surely seems like a gift. So much so that perhaps we’re chancing our arm a little by hoping to simply waltz in for a midweek dinner. But all is good as we wait just a few minutes for a table to be cleared. Among the various comments I’ve seen from
GEMELLI CAFE GRILL Address: Shop 123, 22-30 Wallace Avenue, Point Cook Phone: 9369 7602 (mostly very happy) customers have been a few noting a certain skittishness as the young floor staff get comfortable with their roles. We talk to a few of them and find they’re all locals and that for most of them this is their first serious job. We find them all cheerful and capable and the service is top-notch. As you’d expect, the dining space has a “family restaurant” feel – and if there’s a bit of shopping centre food court vibe going on as well, it’s soon forgotten as we get to grips with our dinner. A large serve of “Italian herb and parmesan” fries ($6.50) is not particularly cheesy, but the chips are fine, hot and tasty. A small bowl of aioli is provided on request. We both choose, from a line-up numbering six, the top-of-the-line Gemelli Burger ($14), which is described as “2 homemade beef patty, 2 X cheese, Berkshire bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, relish, burger sauce”. The verdict? Bloody awesome! Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the definitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs – www.considerthesauce.net

WORTH THE DOUGH This week I want to give a shout out to Jeanette, one of the lovely staff members at Woolworths in Hoppers Crossing. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Jeanette has changed my life – here’s why.
DAVID STEVENSON WESTERN BULLDOGS CEO FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? DS: Average. I am fortunate that my wife, Louise, is a phenomenal cook. FB: What is your signature dish? DS: Butter chicken and wood-fired pizzas. FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? DS: Starter: Goat’s cheese with prosciutto on BBQ shapes. Main: Curry tiffin with garlic naan, raita and mango chutney from Raffles in Singapore. Dessert: My mum’s home-made cheesecake. FB: What is your favourite food TV show and who is your favourite TV food person? DS: Shane Delia’s Spice Journey Journey. I love his passion for food, the stories behind the cuisine and his commitment to the Bulldogs. As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au
Recently, my hubby and I were at Jeanette’s checkout, buying yeast and other ingredients I needed to make pizza bases from scratch. Though well worth the effort, anyone who’s made their own pizza dough will know it’s a time consuming, sometimes messy, sometimes fiddly and rather labour-intensive process. Happily chatting as she scanned our items, Jeanette said: “Did you know we sell fresh pizza dough here?” What? No kneading? No flouring? No waiting ages for dough to rise? I don’t know what planet I’ve been living on but I didn’t know you could buy something like that from the supermarket. Seeing our eyes light up, Jeanette excitedly enlisted the help of a fellow staff member to show us exactly where to find this product – Picasso Kitchen Pizza Dough – in the store. Australian made, it comes in individual pouches. All you have to do is roll it out, whack on your pizza toppings and cook to get home-made pizzas with a crispy-base restaurant feel. A big A-plus for you Jeanette for going the extra mile to help!
FB: What is your favourite food? DS: Indian food. My father was born in India and meticulously cooks the most amazing curries and meals. FB: What is your favourite drink? DS: I love a pinot noir from either the Yarra Valley or Oregon in the US where we used to live. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? DS: My wife, Michael Jordan, Nelson Mandela, Liam Picken and Cathy Freeman. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? DS: Clean up as you go along so you can savour the meal without knowing you have to clean up afterwards.

This place, within 400 metres of waterfront parklands, a seven-minute walk to the station and around the corner from Seaholme Primary School, has a second-floor extension that brings the bedroom count to four, while a downstairs study could easily be a fifth. The large, open-plan living area is divided into three zones of lounge, meals and family room. The carpeted lounge room has a fireplace, ceiling fan and timber blinds. The brightly lit family and meals areas has neutral floor tiles, roller blinds, ceiling fan and split-system. The kitchen has timber-look cabinetry, a pantry, stainless-steel dishwasher, underbench oven and gas cooktop. A timber deck under a Laserlite roof links with the large, lawned backyard. Ducted heating, security system and carport are other features.
On a block of about 555 square metres, which would allow a multi-unit development (subject to council approval), this property will have investors raising hands come auction day – as will young couples wanting a slice of hot favourite Newport who are willing to bring this post-war house back up to scratch. Ornate cornices on high ceilings remain, and kitchen cabinetry is 1950s original – check out the built-in dresser. The three big bedrooms share a bathroom and there’s a modern shower in the rear laundry. The front lounge room opens onto the kitchen-meals area. A concrete driveway goes through high gates to a carport and double garage, and the big backyard’s piece de resistance is a lemon tree. Newport Lakes Reserve is nearby.

On about 400 square metres in a quiet neighbourhood, this house is likely to appeal to first-home buyers wanting their own slice of Altona’s undeniable attractions – including Cherry Lake and waterfront beyond. Investors and downsizers will be interested as well. Floorboards sweep through the entire downstairs area, which includes a large living hub wrapped around a kitchen decked out in charcoal and white. A two-door pantry, stainless-steel under-bench oven and gas cooktop equip the kitchen. A laundry, toilet, modern bathroom and a bedroom-study complete the downstairs layout. Three carpeted bedrooms up top have wardrobes (one a walk-in) and ceiling fans and share a powder room. The living hub opens to a pergola partially covering brick paving. There’s also a detached garage at the back with remote-controlled door.
All shiny and spanking new, this dual-level townhouse with secure basement parking is likely to attract first-time buyers and investors looking for a long-term prospect. The ground floor has two good-sized, grey-carpeted bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobe and the other with a walk-in. Each has a glass slider to a paved courtyard, with a slatted fence providing privacy. Down a hallway, there’s a smart bathroom next door to a laundry. An open-plan kitchen-living zone up top has a lovely stretch of polished floorboards and a wide, glass slider to a paved balcony. The kitchen has a good amount of storage in an on-trend soft-grey laminate, white splashback tiles, electric cooktop and underbench oven. The appealing property is within a 13-minute stroll or five-minute drive of Yarraville village’s eateries and the Sun Theatre.

commercial-grade double-glazed windows and lavish fittings, all of which are sleek and chic. Off the wide entry hall, an open carpeted room could serve as a lounge room or study. On the other side of the hall, a large bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and an indulgent en suite, beautifully tiled and with floating vanity unit, makes an exceptional guest space. The family-meals zone spans the rear, where a picture window and a wall of glass connect the indoors and outdoors. The showstopper kitchen combines
the warmth of timber and crispness of white in the cabinetry (soft-closing) with Caesarstone and glass serving as a splashback. The island bench is a sculptural triumph and there’s a butler’s pantry, gas cooktop, pyrolytic oven and Miele dishwasher. Blackbutt on the stairs continues to the landing and retreat space, off which are the remaining three plushly carpeted bedrooms. All have walk-in wardrobes and two share another gorgeous tiled bathroom with double showerhead, tub and a floating vanity unit topped with stone.

TECH TALK
Reception posers for HD channels By Adam Turner, The Age Sometimes, new channels and old tellies don’t mix. Nine’s new high-definition channel uses a video format that may confound your old television and digital set-top box. New Year’s Day marked 15 years since digital television kicked off in Australia. The number of channels has more than tripled since then – but unfortunately some early digital television gear is unable to move with the times. Many early digital televisions and set-top boxes featured only standard-definition TV tuners, meaning they’re not capable of receiving the five high-definition channels – ONE 1, ABC News 24, SBS HD 30, 7Mate 70 and 9HD 90. But if you’ve got an HD-capable set-top box it should be able to convert these channels to SD for an old television. There’s another complication – Australia’s broadcasters are beginning to shift to the more bandwidth-efficient MPEG-4 video format, but some of Australia’s early digital television equipment supported only MPEG-2. Anything with a Freeview logo on it is MPEG-4 compatible. If you can’t see Nine’s new HD simulcast on Channel 90 or the racing on Channel 78 but you can see the other HD channels, then your digital tuners probably don’t support MPEG-4. It’s worth scanning for new channels and checking whether there’s a setting in the menus to enable MPEG-4. Things will get worse next year, with Seven and the ABC introducing HD simulcasts that are also expected to use MPEG-4. You won’t lose these channels completely because the networks are retaining their SD digital broadcasts on ABC, Seven and Nine,
New high-definition channels deliver much better picture quality, but older digital televisions may not be able to receive them. (Supplied)
but if you want to watch these channels in HD you’ll need to upgrade to a television or set-top box with MPEG-4-compatible tuners. You should be able to pick up a bargain in the post-Christmas sales, but shop with care
because some retailers have still been selling dirt-cheap MPEG-2-only gear in the past few years. A shift to MPEG-4 could make way for more channels or allow the networks to improve
the quality of existing ones by increasing the video bit rate. Nine has opted for quantity over quality, launching 9Life – Australia’s first lifestyle channel offering back-to-back reality TV show.

SPORT New digs can’t fire up Roosters By Lance Jenkinson

Altona Roosters used their new ground at Bruce Comben Reserve on Saturday, but it hardly felt like home for the first 80 minutes. The Roosters were a tad off colour in a 30-27 loss to North West Wolves in the Victorian Rugby League, much to the displeasure of coach Jason Warr. “They out-enthused us and that’s all it was,” Warr said. “They got a bit of a roll on and went on with it. We got out-enthused totally across the paddock.” Roosters five-eighth Tristan Sami kicked a field goal to put his side in front with seven minutes to go. Unsurprisingly to Warr, his team couldn’t hold on in the dying minutes, with the Wolves finding a decisive try. “We just didn’t get ourselves in the arm wrestle,” he said. “We couldn’t hold them out.” Despite winning the opening two matches of the season, Altona went into Saturday’s game flat, and it carried through to the final whistle. Warr is hellbent on getting to the bottom of
why his side could not deliver. “It’s something we’re going to have to look at in training and preparation for our games. “That was our first game out at Altona Meadows and it would’ve been good to have a win for our first one. “We learnt a few things about ourselves. There will be a lot of hard work done on Tuesday and Thursday nights.” Caine Sinclair was one of the few positives for the Roosters. The hooker is one of his side’s most consistent performers. “He’s always good,” Warr said. “He’s a leader on the field, which is what you need. He’s been at the club since he was a kid, so he’s come right through the grades.” Warr was pleased with the efforts of his centres, Jonathan Toetu and Apuanea Vaka. “Their defence was really good and they just ran hard at the lines all day,” Warr said. “They impacted really well – every time they were on the ball they made metres.” The Roosters will reload for their trip to Sunbury Tigers on Saturday.

Altona lets another slip Altona has slipped further off the pace in Hockey Victoria men’s premier league after a 2-0 loss to Greensborough at Sugargum Drive on Saturday. The slow-starting Seagulls conceded both goals in the first half and had to play catch-up from there on. A third loss in five games has left the Gulls in third-last spot on the ladder. Altona has a chance to get back in the winners’ circle when the side travels to play bottom outfit Melbourne University on Saturday. University is out of sorts, coming off a staggering 10-1 defeat to Doncaster. Footscray had its finest hour this season to date when it dismantled Essendon at McIvor Reserve for its first win. Leading by two goals at half-time, the Bulldogs ran riot with a four-goal second half
to complete a 6-0 rout. The Doggies had six individual goal scorers. Footscray will travel to Greensborough on Saturday. In the women’s premier league, Altona and Greensborough played out a 1-1 draw at Grant Reserve. It would be seen as a good point for the Seagulls against the undefeated second-placed side. The result was enough for the Seagulls to hold on to fourth place on the ladder. Footscray remains unbeaten after four games, but had to work hard to secure a 2-1 win over Essendon. While the third-placed Bulldogs are a perfect four-from-four, something might have to give when they meet Greensborough away on Saturday. Lance Jenkinson
Sports shorts Williamstown produced a gritty performance to beat arch-rivals Port Melbourne by seven points in a low-scoring VFL game at a wind-swept Burbank Oval on Sunday. The Seagulls came back from 15 points down at three-quarter time to win after booting four of the last five goals of the match in the last quarter. Sam Dunell had a major impact, snaring two goals as a forward and some intercept marks in defence, while Michael Gibbons continued his stellar season with a strong showing in the midfield. Meanwhile, Footscray suffered a seven-goal loss to Werribee Tigers at the Whitten Oval on Saturday. The Bulldogs were never in the hunt after trailing by 33 points at quarter-time. Josh Dunkley was
the standout for the Bulldogs, racking up 34 possessions, putting him back in the running for AFL selection for when the Bulldogs play the Adelaide Crows at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.

From EPL to Altona By Lance Jenkinson When Jack Dovey put pen to paper on his first contract with English Premier League club Southampton around the age of 10, little did he know that 13 years later he would be playing for Altona City in the fourth tier of the Football Federation Victoria. Once the excitement of his first contract settled down, Dovey was sat in a room with 19 other Saints “potentials” of his age group and provided the sobering prediction that of the 20 players in that room, only two or three, if they were lucky, would go on to become household names. The strike rate was better than that in Dovey’s age group, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Calum Chambers (both Arsenal) and Luke Shaw (Manchester United) going on to play for England, while James Ward-Prowse has reached 100 games with Southampton. To be sitting in that room, you had to be an immense talent – and Dovey was considered one of the best goalkeepers of his age group. But soccer is a cut-throat business, particularly in that part of the world, where no favours are given to locally produced players. Dovey simply could not crack the first team and found himself playing for Eastleigh in the national league, a conference below the Football League and effectively the fifth tier of English football. The conference league is huge for a developing footballer, but it did Dovey few favours, as he was stuck on the bench as reserve goalkeeper. “I was finding it hard, being the No. 2 goalkeeper at Eastleigh for a while,” he said. From the age of 10, all Dovey knew was football. He missed out on some of his youth to devote his waking hours to football. Last year, much to the surprise of the people who have followed his career, he announced that he needed a change of scenery. “Some people will say I’ve done the wrong thing by moving to Australia, because if I hung around there and got my shot again, doors could’ve opened because of my age,” Dovey said. “It was a bit of a step into seeing what the real world is like. “Back home, you wouldn’t be going out to stupid o’clock at night like your mates would, you have to have strict diets. “I didn’t really do a day’s work back home because being a full-time footballer with Southampton and then semi-pro with Eastleigh, I rarely had a secure job. “That’s one thing that Australia has taught me – I’ve been a builder, I’ve been a farmer and I’ve sort of found a trade painting, which I’m now studying … so I do have a fallback option now.” Dovey moved to Australia last year and had a short stint with Brunswick City in the NPL.

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ The
VFL teams of the west have been facing off in recent weeks, with Werribee defeating Footscray and Williamstown just getting up over Port Melbourne. This week Werribee will tackle Williamstown under lights on Saturday night at Avalon Airport Oval. In the intense rivalry between these two clubs, Williamstown has won 44 of the 73 games played. Both clubs have new presidents in 2016 – Martin Carter (Werribee) and Freddy Hall (Williamstown) – and both clubs have very high expectations for the season. In a bit of a return to the old days, there will be three games on Saturday – TAC Cup at 1pm (Geelong Falcons v Western Jets), the development game at 4pm and the seniors at 7pm.
■ Werribee
Centrals have experienced a tough start to the GDFL season, recording a single win after five rounds. But a notable slice of history has been created at the club via the O’Malley family. Callum O’Malley, 17, made his senior debut recently against East Geelong, becoming the club’s first third-generation player. His father, Peter, played during the late 1980s and his grandad, Mick, was a member of the Centurions’ inaugural side way back in 1969. Well done to the family on this milestone and to the club. Isn’t it great to see? That kind of loyalty and commitment is exactly what grassroots football is all about.
■ Werribee
Districts will take on Deer Park this week in WRFL senior division 1 at John McLeod Reserve for the first time since the 2015 grand final. The Tigers will remember that day for all the wrong reasons and will be keen to exorcise some demons.
■ Speaking
of Werribee Districts, the Birdcage at Werribee Racing Club will be the place to be on Friday, May 20, for a sports night with Werribee coach Paul Chapman, Pies star Dane Swan and myself. Tickets include dinner, cost $55 (with drinks at bar prices) and are available through Rod Harrington on 0414 655 696 or Alan Chadwick on 0422 864 459.
■ Further
to last week’s piece on the oldest golfers in the west – and, please, keep them coming in – I reckon Norm Higham might just take the honours. He has been a member at Kooringal since 1968, plays at least twice a week and will be 94 in November. Kevin Hillier

then moved to the bush to play with Cobram Roar, winning a title. The offers came thick and fast for Dovey after that success with the Roar, but he felt most comfortable in accepting a deal to play with Altona City. That is not to say that he does not want to one day return to full-time football. Goalkeepers can play at a high level into their 40s, so Dovey has plenty of time ahead of him. “The prime years for a goalkeeper are late 20s and early 30s,” he said.
“I’ve still got time and I’m still not going to rule out playing football full time. “At the same time, I wanted a fallback option in place. If you get a bad injury, then you have to step back into work like everyone else. “I’ve still got time on my hands. As long as I keep myself sharp and keep my end tight, whenever the opportunity does come to step up – if it’s right one, I’ll go. If it’s not, then I’ll stay. But I definitely want to be playing as high a level as I can.”

Altona could not gain any traction in a 92-point loss to Hoppers Crossing in a one-sided Western Region Football League division 1 clash at Hogans Road Reserve on Saturday. The Vikings coughed up five goals to nil against the wind in the first quarter and compounded their woes by kicking just two goals with it in the second quarter to the home side’s six, leaving them 58 points in arrears at half-time and with no way back. Trent Rafferty, James Goetz and Tom Szanyi fought hard for the Vikings, while Kelly Pickard and Jayden Post snared two goals apiece. Otherwise, it was a disappointing trip for the Vikings, who returned with a 1-2 record and in desperate need of a win in their date with rivals Spotswood at Grant Reserve this Saturday. The Woodsmen will enter the game with an identical record, with their loss to Deer Park last Saturday their second defeat in three matches.
Trailing by three points at three-quarter time, the Woodsmen could only manage the one major to Deer Park’s four in the last term. Tom Langlands was the Woodsmen’s top performer, while Jordan Bennett was dangerous in attack with three goals. The Woodsmen kept Lions star Brendan Fevola to two goals. In division 2, North Footscray defeated West Footscray by 225 points. Leading by 89 points at half-time the Devils showed no mercy in the second half piling on 23 goals to two, including 10 to best-on-ground Sam Kater. In division 3, Parkside put two losses behind them with an emphatic 141-point win over Laverton Magpies at Henry Turner Reserve. Braybrook showed plenty of fight against Sanctuary Lakes, but were overrun in the last quarter by 24 points at Featherbrook Reserve. Lance Jenkinson

(Damjan Janevksi)
With three pressure-filled minutes remaining on the clock, Yarraville-Seddon held a delicate four-point lead, defending into a strong five-goal breeze against intimidating Caroline Springs on its own turf at the Town Centre Oval. It was the ultimate character test for the Eagles, who found a way to complete the task and return home with four valuable premiership points. The results send a clear message to the rest of the league that the Eagles mean business and can now be considered a heavyweight challenger in the race for the top two spots in the Western Region Football League division 2. And not before time, according to Eagles coach Dean Callaway. “We’re not getting ahead of ourselves, but inside our four walls, we know we’re a good side,” he said. “We’ve just got to produce football like that each week. Today we did that. We played as a team – it was tough, hard footy, a very physical game, and we came out on top.” When the heat was applied in the dying minutes, Eagles did everything asked of them to snuff out the Lakers’ threat. The leaders – Macauley Goring, Lachie Longmire, Jake Rycroft and Scott Krakhoeur – all stood up.
Cameron Vincent was a steadying influence on the backline, while Gareth Newton thrived on the challenge of playing on Lakers star Brian Lake. Teenager Kevin Johnson showed maturity beyond his years to have an impact in his role down back. And the rest of the team followed instructions from the coaches’ box to a tee. “It just showed the character and the composure of the guys,” Callaway said. “When we had it in our backline, we didn’t just bomb it in hope – we actually pinpointed targets and got it out of our danger zone. “Every time there was a stoppage, we had the numbers. It was a great team effort.” Yarraville-Seddon will head into the bye on top of the ladder as the only undefeated team in the second division. The Eagles believe their best football can match it with any other team in the competition, with this significant victory going quite some way to validating such thinking. But Callaway knows there is plenty of work to be done for the Eagles to achieve their goal of a top-two finish. “After the game, I said to the boys, ‘Enjoy tonight, but at the end of the day it’s just another win’,” he said. “We need to keep winning if we want to cement a top-two spot. “It’s having that belief in each other … it’s really starting to gel now.”

New Seagull makes a fresh start By Lance Jenkinson Liam Griffiths did not want to lob at the door step of any old VFL club for the sake of continuing his promising football career. Griffiths delved a little deeper to find the right fit – and Williamstown ticked all the boxes. The 20-year-old has made no secret of his desire to play in a premiership and linking up with the defending VFL premier gives him the best opportunity to do that. “You play footy to win premierships and that’s 100 per cent the way I think,” Griffiths said. “The success they’ve had, winning a premiership last year, was a big part of it.” Griffiths is an intriguing proposition for the Williamstown coaching staff. The versatile defender was identified a hot prospect from a young age and was part of the AIS/AFL Academy and the GWS Giants Academy. The Canberran got to travel with the best footballers in the nation at his age level and tour Europe and New Zealand. “I got to experience a bit of travel and play footy in Europe and New Zealand and coming up and playing with top-end talent,” Griffiths said. “I was also fortunate enough to train with the Giants for a week and pretty much lived the life of a footy player, which was an eye opener. “Training was full on, there were 6.30 starts of a morning and you’re out by 4pm … it’s non-stop training and hard work during that time.” Griffiths was tipped to be drafted – but come draft night, his name was not read out. For such a highly touted player, it was a massive setback, but he did not let it dampen his love for the game. He played three years in the NEAFL competition, firstly with the Giants

reserves and then with his home club, Ainslie, but he needed a fresh start. The move to Melbourne will allow him to start a university course in property next year and continue to play football at the highest level outside the AFL system. A good season just might thrust his name back in front of the recruiters. “The desire to make it to the highest level is still there and I can’t deny that,” Griffiths said. “I would say the majority of Williamstown players would think like that.” Like all state league footballers, Griffiths is a semi-professional, meaning long hours at work during the day are followed by hard training at night. He is currently working as a concreter, which can take its toll on his body at times. “It’s very labour intensive and I do enjoy it, but it can be tough on the body,” he said. Griffiths had an impressive pre-season with Williamstown, but has been in and out of the senior side in the first month of the season. The West Footscray resident has enjoyed his short time with the club and speaks highly of its values and history. He is impressed with the standard of football played in the VFL, rating it as better than that of the NEAFL. “The one thing for me that really stuck out was the culture and that was something that was evident when I got to the club,” Griffiths said. “VFL is of a higher standard – it’s more physical, quite a fair bit quicker and the skills are better as well. “One thing that really stuck out is the talent and depth across the whole list of all VFL teams is really strong.” “I’ve been playing in the backline and I’m really enjoying it there.”

The Honda CR-V first appeared on our roads in 1997, before the term SUV rolled off car dealers’ tongues and station wagons were still the big family movers of choice. Unlike the earlier versions, the 2015 CR-V Series II is no longer a unique beast, but it does have a few points of difference. It’s a good-looking car on the outside, with a ‘smiling grille’, elegant headlights with LED daytime running lights and very nice 19-inch alloy wheels. The VTi-L Modulo version has a further enhanced exterior, with the optional Modulo body kit worth $3000, which includes revised rear bumper and a rear spoiler and running board with back door steps that are practical as well as good looking. The pleasing aesthetics continue when you hop inside, with quality interior finishes and intuitively laid out controls and gauges. The dashboard has a spaceship look to it, similar to the Honda Civic, which is based around a 7.0-inch touch screen that syncs easily to your phone via Bluetooth or USB and reconnects quickly when you restart the car. Like most Honda models, you can stream your preferred navigation app from your phone, although the top-spec VTi-L variant I drove has in-built navigation system. The screen also displays the reverse camera view, which as well as a clear picture of what’s behind your car, also has 180-degree wide angle and top-down view which helps parking in tight areas. Safety features The VTi-S and VTi-L models also feature LaneWatch, which is another camera showing an 80-degree view of the left lane on the screen
when you use your left indicator to help make sure you don’t cut anyone off. For an extra $3000 you can install a suite of extra advance driving safety features (ADAS), including autonomous braking system, radar cruise control (to automatically keep a safe distance behind the car in front) and lane-departure warning assistance. Space The CR-V is one of the most spacious cars in its class, with plenty of leg and head room in the front and back. And although seeming a little more upmarket than its predecessors, it still maintains their practicality with heaps of cabin storage, including the large centre console and big front and back door pockets. The rear cargo area is big (556 litres) and you can triple the carrying capacity by folding down the rear seats, which is done easily from the boot. Performance The CR-V comes in 2WD and 4WD variants, although you wouldn’t consider the latter a true off-roader. Engine options include 2.0 litre and 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engines and a limited edition 1.6-litre turbo diesel. The VTi-L I drove had the 2.4-litre engine, which does the job well. It overtakes nicely and is zippy from a standing start. But it’s not exactly frugal. Honda claims it does around 8.4 litres per 100 kilometres but for me this figure was just under 10L/100kms. The CR-V still cuts it as a leader of the segment, although other contenders are catching up in terms of looks and quality. Pricing starts at $29,990 for the base-model 2WD VTi up to about $53,000 for the VTi-L with ADAS and Modulo body kit.
