The woman who took the puppy to the vet said she was heartbroken. “It’s also just distressing knowing that it was deliberate,” she said. “It’s just harrowing … just knowing that someone would do that – it’s sadistic, horrible stuff.” People convicted of animal cruelty offences may be fined up to $75,600 and receive up to two years’ jail.

The community has been shaken to the core after a puppy was bashed and burned before being dumped in an Altona Meadows park. The eight-week-old kelpie cross was found by a walker in a small fenced-off area at the bottom of the 100 Steps of Federation in Truganina Park about 7pm on Wednesday last week. She was taken to an emergency vet in Point Cook, but had to be euthanased on Thursday morning. On Sunday, a vigil was held near where the
puppy – named Marcie by the community – was found. RSPCA senior inspector Daniel Bode said it was believed the puppy had been bashed several days before being dumped. “The veterinary team fought to save the puppy’s life, providing pain relief and rehydration, but her condition continued to deteriorate,” he said. “The extent of her injuries had already damaged her internal organs and would have affected her future growth. “Her mouth was swollen and possibly fractured before she was burned and left for 1219971-HM10-16

A 26-year-old man has been charged following a police pursuit through the western suburbs on Wednesday. The charges followed an alleged hit-run collision and carjacking. Police said a stolen vehicle collided with a truck in Grieve Parade, Altona, shortly before 10.45am. They said the driver fled and ran more than three kilometres to Altona North. A 72-year-old woman was then confronted as she reversed out of her driveway on Brook Drive. The great-grandmother was pushed out of the driver’s seat and left lying on the footpath. Detective Senior Constable Drew Corry, of the Werribee crime investigation unit, said a man led police on a pursuit along the Princes Freeway, towards Geelong, reaching speeds up to 180 km/h and travelling on the wrong side of the road. Police said he was cornered on Heaths Road in Hoppers Crossing and surrendered with his arms in the air. The man has been charged with theft of a motor car, driving in a dangerous manner, conduct endangering life and other dangerous-driving-related offences. Meanwhile, on Monday afternoon, another dramatic car chase caused traffic chaos on the West Gate Bridge. Three teenagers in an allegedly stolen car were arrested on the bridge after a 90-minute police pursuit. The youths’ car wove in and out of traffic and reached speeds up to 150km/hour. The trio was charged with numerous offences including armed robberies.

Williamstown residents have accused authorities of being slow to act after an iconic Williamstown ferry sank and began spilling oil. The Little Gem, which previously took people on scenic cruises, has sat partially submerged for more than a fortnight after taking on water near Gem Pier on October 26. Williamstown Bay and River Cruises bought the vessel in 1994 and it is listed for excursions and private functions on the company’s website. However, when contacted, the company said it did not own the vessel. The Oil Response Company Australia (ORCA) has attempted to contain the oil with anti-pollution booms. Williamstown resident Patrick Walsh said he was concerned about the vessel continuing to leak oil. “ORCA have put anti-pollution booms around the boat, but they’re not working,” he said. “They’re basically tea towels in orange bags. “There is a massive slick and you can smell the stench of fuel; you walk down the end of that pier and it reeks.” Another resident, Darren Dawson, said the authorities had failed to act. “I had the feeling it was sort of Third World stuff that this boat could be sitting there in the water and spilling out oil and everyone was just sort of shrugging their shoulders about it and no action was being taken,” he said. “My major concern was the oil just leaking out into the water. “In my industry, I work with the EPA in stuff like that and if we release anything into the air or anything into the water table we get heavily fined. “I just couldn’t believe that this was allowed to go on.” Parks Victoria manager Phil Fowler said his organisation was working with the EPA to

Two accidents in less than a week have renewed pressure on the state government to take action on Footscray’s notorious Napier Street bridge. The latest incident, about 3.30pm last Monday and following a similar incident on November 1, caused traffic chaos as a container was smashed off the back of a truck and toppled over the bicycle lane and pedestrian path. Napier Street’s four-metre-high rail overpass has been struck almost 70 times since 2005. Maribyrnong council has lobbied the government to improve safety and Footscray police have called for a ban on container trucks passing beneath the bridge and an increase to the $738 fine.

Independent councillor Catherine Cumming has vowed to use her role as Maribyrnong’s new mayor to tackle the pressures of a booming population. Cr Cumming was unanimously voted into the role in a special meeting last Tuesday night, sworn in for her second stint as mayor in almost 20 years on the council. She last held the role from 2012 to 2013, after four independents had wrested control of the seven-seat council from the ALP for the first time. Cr Cumming told Star Weekly it was fitting for a woman to hold the position, given women now hold a 5-2 majority on Maribyrnong council. She also pointed to her high first-preference vote of 4321, 35 per cent of the Stony Creek ward votes. The next highest primary vote was Cr Carter’s 2297 votes, 19 per cent of River ward first preferences. Cr Cumming said in a speech following her election that she has been listening to the community for 20 years and taken on board some of the priorities of her fellow councillors. “We have been elected on a number of shared platforms. One of the biggest issues this council faces is actually population growth,” she said. “We want to obviously increase the amenities, keeping our city clean, graffiti-free … removing dumped rubbish.” Cr Cumming said the council wants to build new childcare centres and improve sporting pavilions and recreation facilities. She said greater investment will be needed from state and federal governments to improve infrastructure, increase skills training and opportunities for refugees, and rebuild social

Sandra Wilson was elected Hobsons Bay mayor on Friday night, with Wetlands ward’s Cr Colleen Gates voted in as her deputy. The pair, who were both re-elected to serve second terms at the October elections, held the same roles in 2013-14. Cr Wilson, who represents Cherry Lake ward, replaced outgoing mayor Peter Hemphill, who was elected to Strand ward to serve a sixth term. Cr Wilson heads a council with two new faces – Strand ward’s Jonathon Marsden who is the first Greens-endorsed candidate elected to Hobsons Bay council, while Michael Grech was elected to Wetlands ward. The new-look council also includes Cherry Lake ward’s Tony Briffa, who previously served on the council from 2008-14. Cr Angela Altair was returned to Strand ward to serve a sixth term. Speaking after the mayoral election on Friday night, Cr Wilson said she loved being part of local government. “I think we are in a position to provide some of the important glue that keeps our communities vibrant, functional, safe and happy places to be,” she said. “Though we all know that we get our fair share of criticism, and we constantly need to listen to feedback, find ways to more responsive and use innovative ways to reach people and

Police issued 35 fines to unlicensed or unregistered drivers and four drivers were summonsed for licence offences. Seven drivers with 169 warrants valued at more than $63,000 were given seven days to pay or have their

Two young men emerge from a battered Commodore and look around despondently. A police officer gets in the driver’s seat and moves the car out of the way. The P-plate driver folds his paperwork from the Sheriff, and he and his passenger begin walking away from the Altona Sports Centre carpark. This is a scene from a joint operation between western region police and the Sheriff at Altona Meadows on Wednesday of last week. By the day’s end, officers have netted 77 drivers with 621 unpaid fines, valued at more than $223,000. The officers are using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology to scan the number plates of westbound cars in Queen Street. They’re checking for disqualified or unlicensed drivers, unregistered or stolen vehicles, and vehicles with outstanding warrants or unpaid fines. Cars are herded into the centre carpark where Sheriff officers are waiting to collect unpaid fines. Fifty-three people settle fines totalling $72,000. Sergeant Adam Wojcik, who’s co-ordinating Operation Wyatt, points to a row of clamped cars belonging to drivers with large outstanding fines. “I think there was one person who had $20,000, and they paid half of that up front,” he says. Suddenly a Sheriff’s car turns on its siren and speeds out. Sergeant Wojcik says a car with stolen number plates has refused to pull over, done a U-turn and taken off. “The idea is to target those that shouldn’t be

‘Phobic’ attack fears rise By Benjamin Millar The victims of a violent assault in Footscray say their incident appears to be part of an alarming new trend. Three members of the LGBTIQ community say they were assaulted inside Footscray Plaza on Friday night, November 4, after being chased through the streets following a confrontation at a nearby restaurant. Already shaken by the attack, they were further incensed after allegedly being told by police they weren’t able to label the crime as trans or queer phobic. Starlady, Azja and another friend said they were leaving a restaurant in Nicholson Street when a customer yelled “get the f... out”, before slamming the door shut. After Starlady stuck up her middle finger in response, a man and two of his friends gave chase. While upset by the ordeal, Starlady, who is transgender, said one of the saddest aspects was the lack of support during and after the attack. “I was yelling out at the top of my lungs, but everybody just sort of watched,” she said. Azja, who was grabbed in a headlock, said a nearby security guard failed to intervene even when one of the attackers began punching her friend in the face. After waiting for police to attend, the trio went to Footscray police station to lodge statements. Starlady said they were disappointed by what she said was pressure not to label it as a trans or queer phobic crime. Azja said she was similarly pressured and, as a consequence, her statement fails to reflect what she is certain brought on the attack. “For us, the situation was clear as day, it was caused by transphobia and queerphobia,” she said.

Both Starlady and Azja said the LGBTIQ community has witnessed an escalation in discrimination brought on by recent attacks on the Safe Schools program in the media and Parliament. Starlady said since speaking out about the incident she has met with Footscray police inspector Adrian Healy and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Liaison
Officers to discuss improvements to training. Spokeswoman Sophie Jennings said Victoria Police recognises that crimes motivated by prejudice can leave victims feeling vulnerable. “Victoria Police is in ongoing contact with the victims to ensure they feel supported through the process.” Police want to speak to the two men (pictured above right) about the incident.

Barkly Street pervert alert Parents are warning people to be vigilant around a West Footscray park after witnessing a man touching himself as he watched children play. A concerned mother said she was with her two children in Gaudion Reserve on Barkly Street about 4.30pm last Thursday when she noticed a man in his late 40s or 50s approaching the playground. “My instincts alerted me that there was something peculiar once I saw him take a seat on the grassed area closer to the playground equipment,” said the mother, who asked not to be named. “It was fairly obvious that he had one hand placed on his pelvic area. For the rest of the time we were there, he moved around the park a few times to lay at different spots, all the while holding his jacket around his pelvic area while he was walking.” The mother also noticed he would take his phone to his ear as if receiving and making calls, but she couldn’t be sure if he was actually taking photographs. When she arrived home about 6pm, she called Footscray police station to report the incident. “I raised my concerns about what I had seen and told them that I was fearful for the kids that were there on their own.” . The mother shared her concerns via social media with a local neighbourhood group and discovered other parents who had seen the man in the park as early as 2pm had also been alarmed. Benjamin Millar

A bridge to unification
Microchip blitz saves lost pets
By Benjamin Millar A community push is under way to unite the two halves of West Footscray via a footbridge over the railway lines. An online petition calling for a new footbridge between Sunshine Road and Cross Street in West Footscray has attracted 200 signatures within days of being launched. Petition creator Mitch van Kaathoven said a link in the vicinity of the Roberts Street intersection would bring benefits to people on both sides of the tracks and encourage inter-action between the two neighbourhoods. “It would make life a lot safer for our children and will connect the two areas, avoiding the need for so many cars on the road,” he said. Mr van Kaathoven said the railway lines served as a wall keeping the suburb divided and residents isolated from shops and services. Existing pedestrian crossings at Tottenham and West Footscray stations, about two kilometres apart, were “super dangerous” to try to reach given the amount of traffic and heavy truck movement in the area. Mr van Kaathoven believes a new footbridge would bring more people from the south of the line into the Barkly Village shopping strip, also giving people north of the line better access to open space at Hansen Reserve. While conceding the project could be expensive, he believes the booming population and traffic safety concerns mean the project warrants consideration. Maribyrnong council’s 2008 West Footscray Urban Design Framework document contains just such a “proposed footbridge”, but mayor Catherine Cumming said the necessary height of any crossing would make the required disability access requirements almost impossible to meet.

“If you look at the little footpath on the side of Sunshine Road and then think about the ramps you would need, I don’t even know if you could actually do it,” she said. “When you look at the amount of infrastructure needed for the West Footscray station crossing, for all that amount of money … I’m not sure you could even contemplate a walkway over the rail there.”
A VicTrack spokeswoman said any decisions about pedestrian bridges over the railway lines would sit with Maribyrnong council. “Transport agencies would get involved during the actual construction, to ensure rail services aren’t affected,” she said. Mr van Kaathoven said the petition was launched to gauge interest and the next steps would be further planning and lobbying.

National project manager Christine Robertson said up to 90 per cent of cats were not microchipped when they became lost. “The average price of microchipping at a vet costs around $50 to $75, excluding consultation fees,” she said. “Sadly, we’re only seeing around seven per cent of lost cats reunited with their owners, with 30 per cent killed and the remainder having to be re-homed. “The trauma that pets and families go through in these scenarios is certainly avoidable and one of the biggest reasons we’re undertaking this blitz.” Victorian law requires cats and dogs to be microchipped as a condition of registration. Ninety-four per cent of cats and 39 per cent of dogs picked up by Hobsons Bay rangers are unregistered, though, making the task of reuniting owners with lost pets almost impossible. Previously, lost cats and dogs were impounded at the Lost Dogs Home in North Melbourne, where about 63 per cent of cats and seven per cent of dogs handed in from Hobsons Bay were euthanased. Bookings are essential for PETstock’s microchip blitz. To register, visit petstock.com.au Goya Dmytryshchak

Heather van Heerwaarden aboard a tugboat. (Damjan Janevski)
Story tugs at the heart Williamstown’s Heather van Heerwaarden has been waking to the sound of foghorns for more than 20 years. As part of the Art and Industry Festival, she has produced a short film, titled Sea Legs, about the skipper and crew of one of Williamstown’s famous tugboats. “I think, like many people who live here, the big ships that come in and out of port are a fairly big presence,” Ms van Heerwaarden said. “Often you’ll see ships out waiting until they can come in, or you’ll see them passing through, or you’ll be in Ferguson Street at the shops and, at the end of the street, you’ll see this massive container ship gliding by.” Ms van Heerwaarden went through rather arduous bureaucracy to get on board one of the four operational tugboats.
“I filmed the tugboat going out to meet a ship and guiding it in, and actually help swing it around in the port and then push it in to dock,” she said. Sea Legs will feature at a festival event called Spark at Seaworks in Williamstown on November 25. The five-minute film will be projected inside a shipping container every 15 minutes from 6.30-10pm. The event also features fireworks, car crushing, Trugo, old-style signwriting, sideshows and songs. The festival will run at various locations, with multiple presentations and activities from November 18-27. To view the festival program, go to artandindustryfestival.com.au Goya Dmytryshchak

Health centre dumps ‘toxic’ name By Alexandra Laskie Health service ISIS Primary Care has changed its name to IPC Health to avoid “toxic” associations with the jihadist militant group also known as Daesh. The not-for-profit community health group was named after the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis when it founded about 17 years ago. The goddess’s name is the Greek form of the ancient Egyptian word for “throne”, and Isis was worshipped as a magical healer who
cured the sick and brought the dead back to life. But the name became an issue for the health service, which is largely funded by the health and human services department, when the terrorist group adopted the name Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in 2014. IPC Health chief executive Alex Johnstone said about 18 months ago people had begun to push for a name change. “The name is toxic,” he said. “Staff told me that, when they wore their lanyards at the supermarket, they were intimidated.”
“This is something that has been a concern for a significant amount of time. But the process has been quite time consuming – we have to go through due diligence,” Mr Johnstone said. He said staff who worked with refugees from Iraq told him the name would confuse and frighten them. “And that’s a real concern because these people need to be supported in their health needs,” he said. “There was a very strong message that it wasn’t helpful to have ‘ISIS’ and ‘care’ in the same name.”
The new branding, IPC Health, stands for “improving and promoting community health”. Mr Johnstone said the “I” also represents the individual, and how the organisation can tailor medical services to each person’s needs. The new business name was launched on November 4 to coincide with the opening of the organisation’s refurbished St Albans head office. Its clinics are also at Taylors Lakes, Deer Park, Hoppers Crossing, Wyndham Vale, Sunshine and Altona Meadows.
Book tells it as it is Altona Meadows’ Jessica Skogstad has written a children’s book about having two mums. She is crowdfunding on GoFundMe to get Enid and Her Two Mums published in paperback. The story is inspired by her niece, who has two mums. “As an English teacher, I am very active in promoting regular reading, and this book is my way of spreading the message that it doesn’t matter whether your family has two mums, two dads, a mum and a dad or just a mum or a dad – as long as you have a family that loves you,” Ms Skogstad said. “This book is my effort to ensure that my niece grows up feeling completely accepted by others. “Being four years old, she asks questions about everything. So, with Father’s Day, came even more questions.” Ms Skogstad said the book was also a way to help other children understand.
“My mum is a family day care worker and she looks after my niece, and the kids are always [saying], ‘My mummy’s here, my daddy’s here’, and for [my niece] it’s always, ‘One of my mummys is here’,” she said. “Educating our kids on acceptance in diversity is ensuring a future where everybody can been included and have truly equal rights. “I read to my son every night and, while we always look for amusing books, we also try to incorporate books that promote positive messages and morals – Enid and Her Two Mums fits into that description.” The book has been released as an eBook on Kindle. Ms Skogstad is crowdfunding to cover some initial costs of publishing a paperback version. A Facebook page has been created to keep people updated with its release date.

Club rolls out new ideas One of Victoria’s oldest bowling clubs is challenging the perception that the sport is for older people. Williamstown Bowling Club in Melbourne Road has been introducing students from Williamstown North Primary School to the sport for an hour on Fridays. Vice-president Peter Bowyer said 32 students had been introduced to bowls in the past two months. “They’ve been fantastic,” he said. “They’re really applying themselves and having competitions amongst themselves. They’ve really put their minds to it.”

Mr Bowyer said the club is always looking for new members and has also expanded its patronage by hosting barefoot bowls. “I’ve had the Williamstown ladies lacrosse club there playing barefoot bowls,” he said. “Westbourne Grammar has contacted me to have an evening of 40 to 50 people there to play bowls. “This barefoot bowls is gaining momentum and it’s important to us.” The club welcomes visitors at all times.

Adventure of a lifetime By Goya Dmytryshchak Special Olympics gold medallist and Altona North resident Michael Van Wilgenburg is this week enjoying his 21st birthday present – a voyage aboard the STS Leeuwin II with his father, Johannes. The vessel is Australia’s only tall ship for people of all abilities. On a five-day sailing adventure dubbed the Ultimate Challenge that left Fremantle on Monday, father and son are joining 23 young people with disabilities on a trip funded by Newman’s Own Foundation, the legacy of Hollywood star Paul Newman. Johannes and his wife, Catherine, adopted Michael from India when he was seven. Michael, who has a mild intellectual disability, is an ambassador for the Athletes Leadership Program and coaches Little Athletics at Williamstown and South Melbourne. “It’s going to be different for me – you have to learn different things,” Michael said before the voyage. “It’s exciting to seize that opportunity.” Mr Van Wilgenburg said it would be really special to have such a unique father-son experience. “I have always had a love for the old sailing ships and it is a dream come true to be able to go sailing on the STS Leeuwin II,” he said. “Michael will be amazed and he will love being with all the other people on the ship, to have this life-changing experience to improve his confidence and leadership skills. “The voyage is very important as it makes everyone aware that people with a disability are people, and they are able to do a lot more in life than people give them credit for.” The Leeuwin Foundation has been providing programs for people aged 14 to 25 since 1986.

Midwives tackle boom A passionate Victoria University alumni is helping prepare the next generation of midwives to deal with the western suburbs’ baby boom. Val Dibella, manager of Women’s and Children’s Education at Sunshine Hospital, leads a team of educators providing clinical support and continuing education at Western Health. “The role involves working collaboratively with the women’s and children’s [education] leadership team, and having a close relationship with a variety of universities,” she said. “I also co-ordinate the midwifery graduate program for Western Health, which is a supportive program for newly graduated students to transition into the workplace as registered midwives.” Ms Dibella said the most rewarding aspect of her role is seeing students grow into themselves on becoming a midwife, and their transition over the years into leadership roles. Her own midwifery journey began with VU studies 20 years ago, after she looked for a university that offered variety and opportunities, such as hospital placements. Ms Dibella quickly discovered a passion for midwifery and has extended that into her work supporting new midwives as they enter a busy hospital system. “I think VU has made me the compassionate, professional and clinically expert nurse and midwife that I am,” she said. “Along with a focus on current evidence-based practice, VU had a strong focus on professionalism. “These important aspects have shaped me and guided me in all the roles I have been in during my time at Western Health.” Ms Dibella said she has seen big changes

The Open Studios in the West program invites people to discover the hidden creativity of artists living and working in Melbourne’s inner west. The Art Room creative hub will use the weekend to relaunch in a brand new studio in Footscray. Director Erika Gofton said The Art Room would use the new space to help students develop technical knowledge while challenging them to question and explore their own creative language. She said a Pozible campaign helped raise $30,000 towards turning a former fruit and vegetable wholesaler into a light and vibrant space. “We have spent since July doing most of it ourselves,” she said.

MY PLACE Altona Meadows’ Gabi Duke, Hobsons Bay’s Young Citizen of the Year in 2014, speaks with Goya Dmytryshchak.
I live in Hobsons Bay, I study in Hobsons Bay. I’ve lived in Altona Meadows 18 years, my whole life. Home sweet home. You’re a former Hobsons Bay Young Citizen of the Year. Tell me about your community involvement? I work mostly with youth services. First I volunteered in Future Leaders Unite – that’s now Leaders of Today – but I stopped halfway through this year for school. But I’m still involved in the Hobsons Bay Westside Freeza. It’s a youth engagement program that’s centred around music, arts, culture events that engage young people in a safe manner. Freeza is like an alcohol and drug-free zone. And I volunteered in Youth Parliament as well. What do you like about Altona Meadows? What isn’t there to like about Altona Meadows! It’s mainly the community environment. I know everyone in my court, which is great. Everyone is so lovely. And I also love that there’s lots of parks, especially in the middle of Altona Meadows. And I love that we’ve got aged communities, we’ve got young communities, we’ve got all in between and everyone’s welcome. What would you change? That road that leads from Altona to Altona Meadows (Queen Street) – that needs two lanes. There’s also flags in Queen Street, right
near the basketball stadium – I would increase things like that in the community, things that showcase the art of young people. And also the skate park there, it really engages young people. I feel like we need more things like that. What’s your favourite cafe or eatery? I love Favor and Grace (in Laverton). It’s got really nice milkshakes. And I also like Abby’s Pizza (Altona Meadows) – it’s a great pizza place. I really love, in Williamstown, Al Porto Vecchio. I love it because it’s got cheap meals, which is really important because it always has to be good economically. Out in the backyard, it’s really gorgeous. They’ve got trees … you can see the wildlife, you can sit in the sun or the shade and it’s just a really good family environment. What are you passionate about? Engaging young people. One thing that I noticed in high school was that so many people would love to do things within the school community but they wouldn’t like to do things within the local community. I feel like engaging with young people is so important, but I don’t think that the wider community knows that they have things to offer. Nominations are open for the 2017 Hobsons Bay Citizen of the Year awards. Winners will be announced on Australia Day next year. Nominations close at 5pm on Friday, December 2. Forms are available from the Hobsons Bay Civic Centre and local libraries, and online at hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au/citizenawards.

Imagine this … somebody you love is in hospital. They can barely eat, speak, or move. All they want to do is die. What would you do? Earlier this year, a parliamentary committee recommended that State Parliament adopt reforms that would give some terminally ill patients the right to choose to die when living gets too much. Many of those against the move refer to it as a form of murder. Those in favour say it’s dying with dignity. Western suburbs resident Vicki Lewer is staunchly against voluntary euthanasia. When her mother, Lesley, was 33, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Her condition deteriorated rapidly. A decade on, she was paralysed from the neck down and confined to a wheelchair. Lesley returned to New Zealand, where she lived alone in a flat. Technology allowed her to use voice commands and a mouth control to open the door, turn the lights on, the television, and even turn pages of books. She went on to spend eight years studying for a psychology degree. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Lesley. “My mum spoke of a time when she was in such severe pain that she wanted to die,” Vicki said. “A doctor came to her home to give her some strong pain relief and, in my mum’s own words: ‘I would have been glad to die at the time … but it was not the death I wanted, but relief. The desire to live returned in the same instant the pain left’.” Vicki says her mother was horrified, thinking ‘what if the doctor had listened to me?’ “Mum said that people who wanted to die were depressed, and that the depression is what should be treated,” Vicki said. “I look at her life

Why am I still here? I’m better off gone.’ - Lisa Heinrichs, on her ‘Nannu’ He’d had enough

and I know that, put in extreme circumstances, people can still cope when given the positive support they need.” Vicki believes some elderly people may consider themselves a burden on their families, so they seek death.
Hoppers Crossing’s Lisa Heinrichs has a different opinion. Growing up, she was very close to her ‘nannu’ Emmanuel Barbara. He was a vision of health, having his first hospital visit at 84. But that all changed … aged 90, Nannu called
Lisa in excruciating pain. She rushed to his Yarraville home and took him to the hospital. They later found out he had bladder cancer. The following year, he got worse. After many more visits to the hospital, he was no longer able to live alone, and moved in with Lisa and
her family. Nannu required constant care, so months later, he moved into a nursing home. At 94, he fell and broke his femur. The doctors didn’t expect him to make it through surgery, but he did. But Nannu never walked again. From that point forth, his health deteriorated. He was bed-ridden, wore nappies and couldn’t even feed himself. As he battled the cancer, his kidneys began to fail and he had internal bleeding. “For Nannu, it was humiliating and degrading,” Lisa said. “His body was failing him, but mentally, he was fully aware of what was happening. “When I’d visit he’d ask ‘why am I still here? I’m better off gone.’ He had had enough. He was always tired. “Sitting by his bed while he suffered, and not having answers for him, was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Lisa said. “That isn’t life. “One day, as I left the hospital, he started crying. He said ‘I’m sorry for being a burden. I’m sorry you have to stay with me.’ It broke my heart.” After that, Nannu refused all food and medication. Six days later, after eight months of extreme pain, he died. Completely in support of voluntary euthanasia, Lisa acknowledges there needs to be procedures in place to ensure its practice isn’t abused. “Nannu just wanted to die. We don’t let animals suffer in that way, so why do we make human beings? “It’s not fair. There is no dignity in that. Voluntary euthanasia is not murder. It’s kindness.”

FOOD REVIEW
CONSIDER THE SAUCE There’s heat, but Kenny Weir isn’t staying out of the Kitchen Viet Kitchen is in the very heart of Vietnamese Footscray, sharing a block of Hopkins Street with such popular places as Sapa Hills and Bun Ta. In our search for the Good Stuff all over the west, we do sometimes overlook what’s right in the midst of the inner west. So it’s taken us a while to get around to Viet Kitchen, despite receiving a few reader recommendations in the past year or so. We end up awfully glad we’ve made the effort as we enjoy a really excellent meal. Like its neighbours, Viet Kitchen makes a bit more of an effort than formica tables – it’s a sweet space. Many of the customers seem to be regulars and we find the service and wait times to be fine. We like our regular spring rolls as served across the west as much as anyone, but my understanding is that in terms of the wrapping/ pastry used they are an adaptation devised by the Vietnamese diaspora. So when we spy the more authentic cha gio Viet Nam, we pounce. These six chopped-up rolls ($10.80) are fine, with a stuffing of seafood, pork and mushroom. The spicy beef noodle soup is a sinus-blasting hoot. And, yes, it IS spicy – though no more than any experienced Footscray food trawler will be able to handle. The “beef� tag is somewhat misleading as it refers only to the broth on which the dish is based. Also in the bowl, along with brisket,
VIET KITCHEN Address: 110 Hopkins Street, Footscray Phone: 8528 1112 are slices of pork and pork “ham� (sausage). With the attending greenery – its variety a nice change from the standard herb/sprouts mix that comes with pho – this a straight-up, all-out winner. Most Vietnamese restaurants in the west, it seems, based on our wide-ranging adventures, only serve their various coleslaw offerings in large, family sizes – as with the “farm chicken� ($23) version served here. So again we pounce when we see a smaller portion of the rare beef rendition ($10) on offer. It’s a zingy, tangy, crunchy wonder, with the plentiful and very good marinated beef still pink. Our only wish? Even more peanuts to really send the textural contrasts into overdrive. The Vietnamese pancake (with seafood, $16) is another successful order for us. Despite the wetness of the rather bland filling (small prawns, calamari, fish, sprouts), only some of the large pancake becomes soggy – and it all gets devoured with yet another variation in the greenery/herbs department.

NEWS
TOO EASY There was great excitement at my office when this cake recipe from the Foodiful website came to our attention. It’s hard to believe it only contains three – yes three – ingredients. As a bonus, it’s also gluten and dairy free. Let’s just say, though, you wouldn’t want to be allergic to eggs!
KATE STEVENSON,
Pile it with vanilla yoghurt, cream or mascarpone. Add sliced strawberries or passionfruit pulp and it’s quite the showstopper. To keep it dairy free, use coconut yoghurt.
HOST OF 3AW’s A MOVEABLE FEAST
A great alternative cake to serve at Christmas, it’s simple enough to whip up at the last minute.
FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? KS: I’m definitely expert level in eating. When it comes to cooking – well, I can follow a recipe very well!
As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au
BROWN SUGAR AND ALMOND CAKE
FB: What is your signature dish? KS: I stole Bob Hart’s recipe for pulled pork and home-made barbecue sauce. It’s an absolute crowd pleaser.
5 eggs at room temperature
FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? KS: If you’re saying it’s my last day on Earth, I’d make it a long one, so probably a return visit to Etxebarri in Basque Spain for their sublime smoked dishes or Central in Lima, Peru.
Invert base of a 22cm springform pan (base measures 20cm). Grease and line base and side with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above pan edge.
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 ¼ cups almond meal (200g)
Beat eggs and sugar in small bowl of an electric mixer, on high speed, for about 8 minutes or until thick and pale. Transfer to a large bowl.
FB: What is your favourite food TV show and who is your favourite TV food person? KS: I can’t believe I’m going to admit this, but I love the Hairy Bikers! I spent time living and working in the UK. When I returned, and saw the series I just felt nostalgic about their trips across the country and the vast differences in cuisine from county to county. When it comes to food types on TV, I love Anthony Bourdain – he’s just got a wonderful combination of arrogance, fearlessness and passion for real food.
Add almond meal in three batches. Using a balloon whisk, gently fold into egg mixture until combined (don’t stir.) Pour into prepared pan. Cook in moderately slow oven (160C) for about 35 minutes or until edge of cake has shrunk slightly away from side of pan. Stand in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out on to a wire rack to cool.
FB: What is your favourite food? KS: Why don’t you ask me to choose my favourite child? FB: What is your favourite drink? KS: Let’s just say my wine rack is full of bottles of gin …
“A fruit is a vegetable with looks and money. Plus, if you let fruit rot, it turns into wine, something Brussels sprouts never do” P. J. O’Rourke.
FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? KS: Rick Stein, Heston Blumenthal, Shane Delia, Anthony Bourdain and Scott Pickett – of course, it’s bring a plate night. They’d be highly entertaining company. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? KS: Don’t skimp on kitchen equipment – buy the best.

In much-admired Rifle Range estate, with ocean views and Jawbone Flora & Fauna Reserve a two-minute walk away, this tri-level, solid brick residence has polished hardwood floors throughout, stylish window architecture and subtle period references. The ground floor has a lounge room with cast-iron gas fireplace with ornate surround, a family room with raised dining area around a timber kitchen with dishwasher and fab cooker, a laundry, and bathroom with internal/external access. The first floor has three bedrooms, separate toilet and period-style, two-way bathroom with dual basins and clawfoot tub. The top floor has study desks at one end, a kitchenette and space galore. A covered pergola faces a pretty backyard with cute shed, and there’s a lock-up garage. Gas heating throughout, split-system and alarm are other perks.
This classic brick veneer on about 605 square metres represents a fantastic chance to invest, renovate or develop, subject to council approval. Its location puts it into the highly desirable category – within a walk of some of the best schools in the area, as well as the Borrack Square shops, just around the corner from Altona Gate shopping centre. The city is 15 kilometres away and easily accessible via West Gate freeway. The house has three bedrooms that share a good-sized bathroom decorated in soft-blue and white. A tiled living room, accessed through double sliders from the entry hall, has a gas heater framed in mosaic tiles. The kitchen is big enough to accommodate a dining table and has abundant pale timber-look cupboards and a gas upright cooker. The backyard has an old shed, and a long concrete driveway heads to a garage.

Built in the 1920s by renowned Hanson Builders, this former shop and dwelling, with mixed use zoning, is at the quieter end of Williamstown Road and has further development potential, STCA. On about 275 square metres, the residence has white walls, ornate plasterwork and cornices on high ceilings, grey carpet and lovely original floorboards.

The updated kitchen has a stack of timber-trimmed cabinetry, stainless-steel dishwasher and 900mm cooker; the laundry is separate. The backyard, entirely paved in bricks, has a covered pergola, and there’s off-street parking for one car.
Well-designed and spacious, this house is within walking distance of the Vernon Street shops, schools, parks and public transport. Timber floors flow throughout, complementing the crisp white walls. The generous-sized lounge room flows into a spacious family-meals zone. Lots of window space infuses the kitchen with natural light, and the usual stainless-steel appliances include a dishwasher. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and en suite; the other rooms share the main bathroom. Features include an alarm, central heating and cooling. The landscaped yard would be the ideal spot for a garden party. The property has a single garage with internal access.

Price: Contact agent
Williamstown’s wide, tree-lined streets feature new houses built in period-style as a nod to local heritage, but this is the real deal. Local historians date Erith about 1891, one of the first houses on this street. Walking up the tessellated front pathway and past expansive front gardens, it’s easy to imagine the garden parties that took place here in its golden era. An ornately patterned verandah under cast-iron lacework leads into the house. Interiors are bold and beautiful. Soaring ceilings and corbelled arches in warm textured cream are offset by two-tone wall paint bisected with terracotta dado rails.

Auction: December 3 at 2.30pm
Ceiling roses and deep-set cornices are great finishing touches, while polished Baltic pine floorboards, deep skirts, period light fittings, sash windows, cast-iron fireplace with marble surrounds, and original door knobs and switches, are elegant reminders of the importance of detail. The front includes sleeping quarters, a study, and formal sitting and dining rooms. The main bedroom is very grand, its en suite with all the period glam of decorative floor and wall tiles, a timber vanity unit and brass tapware. There’s a walk-in wardrobe. The other three bedroom have wardrobes and easy access to one of two bathrooms.
The study could easily be a fifth bedroom. Patterned red and gold wallpaper combines beautifully with drapes featuring gold tassels in the dining room. The rear of the house is where several living zones have been created. The theatre room is sound-proof with block-out blinds. The decor of the kitchen and casual dining areas set a lighter tone. The kitchen has a freestanding cooker, Miele dishwasher, tiled splashback and plenty of prep and storage space (a butler’s pantry included). Bifolds open outdoors onto a deck fitted with a speaker system and a charcoal and

gas barbecue. But the star of the show here is the 15x3 metre indoor, self-cleaning, ozonated lap pool and spa. This paved private space (with dehumidifier) overlooks a pretty garden. A rear bathroom and gym (with split-system) are here as well. From the deck, admire the architecture of this grand house. The original is on bluestone, the extension on stumps. The block – a fabulous 1500 square metres. Other features include leadlights throughout, alarm and intercom system, evaporative cooling, hydronic heating, ducted vacuum. Eleanor Tabone

Dimensions, Designs, Desires Designs that define the future – with planning permits – accompany this classical Californian, creating a fabulous, fresh vision in one of Yarraville’s most pivotal positions. The option to re-define the raw spaces of the current three bedroom home is matched by the modelling for two new townhouses to occupy the rear of this spectacular allotment. Turn these concepts into compelling reality or pursue ideas of your own that will deliver different, but equally rewarding results, STCA.

Rod and Sheryl Easdown test drive Nissan X-Trail ST-L 4WD
HE SAYS
SHE SAYS
O
I
ccasionally one must put one’s money where one’s mouth is. Last year I suggested a number of cars ideal for the Big Trip around Australia. So when time came for our own Big Trip, we bought one of my recommendations, an X-Trail 4WD. It’s generous inside, compact outside and, while most competitive models offer only full-time 4WD, this has selectable 4WD and diff lock for when the going gets tough. The X-Trail’s problem, is the skinny space-saver spare. Nissan wanted $680 for a full-size wheel without a tyre, but after a lot of looking I found a second-hand one, with a good tyre, for $360. We got a heap of luggage on board but the performance was still good and the economy impressive. The continuously variable auto is nicely calibrated and the handling and ride are both acceptable. And when you’re on the dirt selecting 4WD and then locking the diff is as easy as turning a console dial.
insisted we get the ST-L rather than the base ST (at $37,437 with 4WD) that Rod suggested. I wanted leather seats and integrated navigation and I like the CVT gearbox. After 12,000 kilometres he’s almost at the point of admitting I was right. The driving position is high and comfortable with good visibility and I love the surround camera that makes reverse parking and tight manoeuvring anywhere a cinch. The electronics are user-friendly and intuitive and the cruise control is accurate. The navigation goes into a snit from time to time and has to be reset, otherwise it’s easy to drive, although I’d like faster pick-up in overtaking. There’s generous cabin space and good seating, with electronic adjustment on both sides at the front. The rear seat backs are also adjustable. And there’s a power outlet in the cargo area for a 12-volt fridge. With modest exterior dimensions, it’s not intimidating. I took to it quickly and like driving it.

SPORT Tough day at the crease for Dogs Footscray Edgewater had to work for every single run on Saturday as it batted through the day against Fitzroy Doncaster in Premier Cricket. With the Victorian side enjoying a weekend off, the Dogs welcomed back Bushrangers opener Travis Dean, while the Lions had Australian star Glen Maxwell in their side to set up an intriguing contest. On an overcast day, it was tough work for the home batsmen as the Dogs posted 233 all out at stumps. Dean opened the batting with Matthew Underwood and together they saw off the new ball as they built a 50-run partnership, but it took them nearly 20 overs to do so as the Lions bowled in consistently good areas. Underwood (23) and Dean (23) both fell in quick succession when Matthew Bullen (3-42)
was introduced to the attack, and the innings began to look wobbly when Dean Russ (8) and Hayden Butterworth (13) were both dismissed cheaply by Maxwell (3-38). Dogs captain Dylan Kight steadied the ship for the remainder of the innings as he shared important partnerships with the lower order to slowly build a defendable score. Kight compiled 64 in 160 balls and more than three hours at the crease to ensure his side would bat out the day. His two-hour stand with Jack Sheppard (35) was particularly important for the home side. Former first-class player Trent Lawford was a trojan for the visitors, sending down 27 overs (15 of them maidens) for the day as the Bulldogs were dismissed in the shadows of stumps.
Both Dean and Maxwell are likely to be selected for Victoria in the next round of Sheffield Shield, which would see both players absent from the second day of the Premier Cricket clash. In the seconds, Footscray Edgewater was on the wrong end of a Noah Korkolis onslaught as Fitzroy Doncaster compiled 298 in their clash at Schramms Reserve. Korkolis blasted 165 off 184 balls, while Alex Hewet was brilliant for the Dogs with 6-52 off 28.5 overs, his victims including six of the Lions’ top seven batsmen. The Dogs, with 10 overs to negotiate late in the day, lost two wickets as they closed the day on 2-31 in their chase. Ewen McRae
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ There
certainly will be a changing of the guard at Western Region Football League for 2017. Long-time administrators Bob Tregear (CEO) and David Newton (football operations manager) are moving on. Bob is retiring, and David heads to the Bulldogs as New Generation Academy manager. Both men have served the football community of the west well in their time. Matthew Duck has been named as the new CEO, coming from Diving Victoria where he was CEO, and before that with the Southern Football League as general manager football operations. David’s position is being advertised and will be filled early in the new year. The league certainly has a new look with Meredith Angwin in the president’s role and many tricky challenges in the coming season … the future of inner suburban clubs, the expansion of women’s football, and upgrading of grounds and facilities would be high on the agenda.
■ How
good was it that international trainers were glowing in their assessment of the International Horse Centre track at Werribee. The facilities for horses have always been of the highest quality, but the track itself has had a pretty chequered history. Praise from trainers was icing on the cake after Werribee residents, including Qewy, Francis of Assisi, Oceanographer and Scottish, all performed really well during spring after honing final preparations at Werribee. The next meeting is on Tuesday, November 29, with the Werribee Cup scheduled for Sunday, December 11.
■ Watching
Australian test batsmen going down like nine-pins is not exactly fun, but the first X1 at Hoppers Crossing were in the firing line last weekend when they were knocked over for 19. Naturally, Melton made fast work of securing the points, and the Cats were left to lick their wounds after a bad start to the season with the first X1 winless and sitting second bottom on the ladder, yet to register a point.
■ If
Altona remains solid By Ewen McRae Altona continued its unbeaten start to the sub-district cricket season on Saturday, a solid all-round performance proving too much for Williamstown. While Altona lost the toss and had to field, the overcast skies produced helpful conditions for the bowlers, who were able to make regular breakthroughs to limit the damage inflicted by the home batsmen. Dale McDonald was the pick of the batsmen with a well-crafted 66, while Brent McMinn (20) and Craig Sheedy (28) both made good starts before being dismissed as the home side ended its 45 overs on 7-160. Altona captain Adam Yates said he was pleased with the way his players applied themselves in the field. “I think, at drinks, they [Williamstown] were 2-100 so we did really well to pull it back to 160,” Yates said. “Our spinners, through the
middle stages, were able to contain them and build some pressure with some tight overs and lots of dot balls. “Sheedy and McMinn have been in really good nick, so it was good to get them relatively cheaply … we thought somewhere around 180 was par so we were happy with what he had to chase.” In reply, Altona found it hard to score freely, with Greg Sheehan (three runs off 37 balls) and David Kinsella (26 off 70) having to grind for every run. While the openers put in the hard work against the new ball, the middle order was able to flourish and score quickly, turning the game in Altona’s favour. First drop Aaron Maynard made 37 off 39 balls, while Yates (39no) and Sean Hollins (31no) came together for a 70-run partnership to guide their side to victory with 14 balls to spare. “I think setting that foundation early on with the openers was really important,” Yates said.
“It made it easier for the rest of us coming in to just push it around and tick the scoreboard along to get the win. We’re playing some pretty good cricket at the moment – the boys have gelled together well. The test now is to continue that in the two-dayers.” Elsewhere, Yarraville played out a thrilling tie with Bayswater despite a Matthew Love century and a hat-trick from off-spinner Akshat Buch. Bayswater won the toss and composed a mammoth 7-248 from its 45 overs, with Buch the best for Yarraville with 4-37 off nine overs. In reply, Love was huge at the top of the order as he hit 16 boundaries in his 127 to keep the chances of Yarraville’s first win of the season alive, with Joshua Hahnel (52) and Matthew Harrison (47) also doing their bit. Yarraville needed two runs off the final two balls to claim victory, but captain Nathan Allen was run out attempting a second run and the two sides had to be content sharing the points.

you’ve driven past Avalon Airport Oval lately, you will have noticed the redevelopment is well and truly underway. There’s been some chat regarding the old grandstand, but according to council, and I quote from their website, it has been “carefully dismantled, catalogued and placed in storage, in line with the planning conditions”. Any questions should be directed to council, not the footy club.

Selection secret a strain for Vixen defender New Melbourne Vixens training partner Maddy Balson had to keep her selection secret for a month. Naturally, keeping the news of her involvement with one of the premier netball teams in the country was tricky. “It was a bit of a shock,” she said last week. “It was hard to contain it – I wanted to tell everyone. “I’m looking forward to being pushed and to push them. I want to get the best out of myself.” Balson was one of four training partnerships announced two weeks ago. It came after the Vixens liked the defender’s
performances with the Victorian Fury in the Australian Netball League and with the City West Falcons in the Victorian Netball League. At just 20, she is part of the next generation of defenders. While she would have liked to have been in one of the teams for the inaugural National Netball League, being a training partner is the next best thing – and she may get the chance to take to the court for the Vixens. “Tall defenders take a lot longer to develop,” she said. “I had fingers crossed then I heard from the Vixens. If there’s an injury, I may get to be a
permanent or temporary replacement player.” Balson will juggle Vixens duty with playing and training with the Fury and Falcons. Selection as a Vixens training partner meant repeat selection in the Fury team was assured. The team’s two key defenders from last season, Fiona Themann and Shannon Eagland, have NNL contracts for 2017. “I was trying out for the Fury when I got the call-up for the Vixens,” she said. “That automatically meant I was part of the Fury squad. I’ll be training with both teams at different times during the year.” It will be Balson’s second year at the Falcons,
who she hopes will go one step further than a grand final appearance. The Falcons have lost the past three grand finals. “I played with Boroondara when we won the championship [in 2015] and then I thought it was time for a change of club and environment,” she said. “City West Falcons have been a pretty successful club. “The training environment and work ethic – it was hard work, but I wanted the challenge.” Tara Murray

Yarraville Club built on its perfect start to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association Senior season on Saturday, proving far too strong for Doutta Stars in a one-day clash. After winning the toss and batting first, the Clubbers got contributions right through the innings, posting 6-181 from their 40 overs. Five batsmen made 20 runs or more, with Konrad Kurta the best on the day with a stylish 55. When their turn came with the ball, Yarraville Club grabbed early wickets and managed to keep the runs down and put the pressure firmly on the Stars’ order. Only three visiting batsmen would reach double figures – Doutta Stars were eventually all out for 117, with Andrew Cullen (3-38) the best for the hosts. The Sunday game with Keilor was washed out midway through the afternoon, after Yarraville Club posted 9-153 from their 40 overs.
Baseball
Whether it’s indoor or outdoor hockey, Claudia Beamish is a standout. (Damjan Janevski)
Young gun pitches right By Tara Murray If you are looking for Manor Lakes’ Claudia Beamish, she’ll probably be on a hockey pitch. The talented 13-year-old has been juggling senior and junior hockey commitments while also playing for Victoria – in both indoor and outdoor competitions. She also represented her schools, Iramoo Primary School and then Mackillop Regional College, in title-winning teams. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. “My dad used to play hockey and so did my two brothers,” she said. “I slowly fell in love with it. “My mum played netball and tried to get me to play that … but I followed dad.” Beamish started playing hockey at Werribee Hockey Club, where she is now part of their senior women’s side in Hockey Victoria’s Vic League 2 competition. She’s also playing under-16s for Altona in the under-16 shield competition. Even though she was the youngest player in Altona’s under-16s this season, she won her
side’s best and fairest award. Beamish said she enjoys playing for both sides. “I started at Werribee and then moved to Altona to gain some more experience. “Altona has a premier league side, and there’s a lot more opportunities to play for the state,” Beamish said. “It can be hard – I’ve got to remember who I’m playing for. “It’s a lot faster in seniors.” Despite being just 13, Beamish has been part of four Victorian teams, twice competing at Australian National Outdoor Hockey championships and Australian National Indoor Hockey tournaments. Last year she was part of the Victorian white team for the outdoor championships. This year she made the top team, which won nine of 11 matches on its way to winning the title. “Dad and mum mentioned it to me, and I liked the sound of it, so I tried out,” she said. “I was playing against other states, and it was the first time I’d played field hockey at state level.
70 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 16, 2016
“This year, I was a bit nervous, and there was a lot more pressure to get in, as I was top age. “We didn’t expect to play like that,” she said. Beamish has twice won gold at indoor tournaments. Although she normally plays in the midfield or the half positions, Beamish has also added another bow to her game this year. She played defence at the outdoor championships. “I had never played defence … I had played one or two club games, and never enjoyed it. “I still love the half or centre, but I’ll put my hand up for defence now.” Beamish is the monthly nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star award. The Don Deeble Rising Star award recognises young athletes from the western suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at state and/ or national levels. The award is run by Sunshine Western Region Sports Club and Star Weekly. Beamish will receive $1000, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, and other prizes that will assist her in achieving her sports goals.
Newport had a bad trip east to play Blackburn in Vic Summer League division one baseball on Sunday, going down 10-4 and slipping to fourth in their conference. Blackburn grabbed an early two-run lead in the second innings, and managed to keep the Rams scoreless until the seventh innings, by which time they had stretched their lead to four runs. Newport hit back in the seventh with all four of their runs, but were unable to capitalise on that momentum, as the home side ran away with the game at the end to finish comfortable winners. The season doesn’t get any easier for the Rams. The club takes on conference leaders and five-time reigning premiers Essendon on Saturday.
Bowls
Yarraville Footscray has slipped after a fourth loss from the opening five rounds of the Premier Bowls season, going down to Essendon on Saturday. After a week off for the Victorian Open, Yarraville Footscray struggled for consistency across the day, as they lost three of the four rinks in the 16 (88) to 2 (69) loss. Altona fared much better as they travelled to play Mitcham, grabbing a clean sweep of all four rinks to record a resounding win. The 18 (98) to 0 (72) win was the biggest of the round in the premier division, and moves Altona up to second on the ladder.
