Ashton sails into history At just nine years old, Williamstown’s Ashton Rawstron will be one of the youngest sailors competing in the Cadet World Championship in Germany this year. The Royal Yacht Club of Victoria member is the youngest entrant in the club’s 165-year history. He will crew the boat Spitfire, skippered by fellow club member Peter Allen, aged 15. They qualified for the world cadets after finishing fifth from more than 65 entrants in the national championships at Metung in January. It’s an incredible feat for Ashton, who only learned to sail a year ago. But he likes to move fast – especially when it’s windy. “I started sailing in the Tackers school-holiday program when I was eight years old and I enjoyed it,” Ashton said. “I then did level 2 in Tackers and soon after I was lucky to do a trial to crew for the International Cadets Class 6th Fleet.” A third club member, Ollie Grieve, 12, is also headed for the championships. He will crew a Royal Geelong Yacht Club boat named Sparkle, with skipper Emma Kelly. The Cadet World Championship will be held from July 6 to August 3. The next Tackers program is from April 9-13.

Transport pain exposed By Benjamin Millar The dire state of public transport in Melbourne’s west is being put in the spotlight in a campaign pushing for more investment ahead of the November state election. Sitting MPs and potential candidates across the traditionally safe Labor heartland are being targeted to commit to greater spending on transport to keep up with the area’s rapid population growth. The Time For The West campaign wants new bus services rolled out to better connect suburbs, new bike paths to allow more people to

cycle safely and a region-wide study to identify the most urgent transport projects needed to meet growth of about a million extra people in coming decades. Co-ordinated by LeadWest, an advocacy group backed by the west’s councils, the campaign is highlighting the causes of car dependency and difficulties residents have moving around the area. LeadWest is collecting stories from residents such as William Pendlebury, who spends almost two and a half hours a day on the round-trip between his Altona home and study in Sunshine – a trip that would take little more

than 20 minutes each way by car. Mr Pendlebury said his existing options were to take two buses or a bus and two trains. Infrequent services and indirect routes all added to his travel time. “The limits of the system mean it is quite slow,” he said. “A lot of it is the times in-between, waiting at a stop for the next bus.” LeadWest chief executive Craig Rowley said transport investment in Melbourne’s west had fallen well behind the pace of growth. “That makes it harder to spend enough time with our families, it’s harder to access job opportunities and too often there’s no option except to drive in congested traffic,” he said.

Mr Rowley said politicians needed to be doing more to make sure transport services met the needs of rapidly growing communities. “It’s time for politicians to listen to us and fix transport in the west,” he said. Mr Rowley pointed to a poll of more than 2000 voters conducted by Lonergan Research that found that poor public transport services would influence the vote of more than half of people in Melbourne’s west. LeadWest wants people to send messages to their MPS, and share stories on poor public transport services, via timeforthewest.org.au/ share_your_story

We want our City to be connected, know what’s happening and have a great sense of community. We often partner to support internationally renowned events and promote these on our website and on social media. Most recently we hosted the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival’s signature event – the World’s Longest Lunch on the banks of the Maribyrnong River.

Maribyrnong City Council’s Councillors have been busy. 1. Cr Mia McGregor, Mayor Cr Cuc Lam and Cr Catherine Cumming celebrate International Women’s Day with the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre members and guests.

MY VIEW

For more information on up coming events visit our events page on our website www. maribyrnong.vic.gov.au

I’m very committed to open and transparent decision making on Council, particularly when Councillors represent the community in the Chamber at public Council Meetings.

COUNCIL MEETINGS Apr Tuesday 24, 6.30pm – Ordinary Council May Tuesday 1, 6.30pm – City Development Special Committee Tuesday 8, 4.30pm – Enterprise Maribyrnong Special Committee Tuesday 22, 6.30pm – Ordinary Council Tuesday 25, 8am – Inner Melbourne Action Plan Implementation Committee (held at Richmond Town Hall, Bridge Road, Richmond) Tuesday 29, 6.30pm – City Development Special Committee

In February I asked Council to prepare a policy to record Council meetings and to have these recordings available on the website. This was unanimously supported by Councillors. We continue to look for ways in which we can increase transparency and I envision that one day we will also have live video! This will help residents who are unable to attend meetings to hear the Council debate and deliberations. I believe that the community should be involved in Council decision making and engagement. It’s important that Council’s decisions reflect the needs of all community members and I encourage you to visit our consultation platform yourcityyourvoice.com regularly. We also hold public consultation in many other ways such as public meetings, feedback stalls at festivals, creative art workshops in the community and at schools to name a few. I encourage everyone to embrace these opportunities and have your say. Cr Mia McGregor Yarraville Ward

Hero honoured for selfless act By Goya Dmytryshchak

Roger Bertocci with eldest daughter Ashlee. (Supplied)

Altona North’s Roger Bertocci has been posthumously recognised in the Australian Bravery Awards for what his wife described as “acting like a true man”. Mr Bertocci was fatally stabbed after pulling over to help a pregnant woman being attacked by her partner in Blackshaws Road on December 14, 2014. The assailant ran towards Mr Bertocci’s vehicle and attempted to punch the windows. Mr Bertocci got out, and the other man pulled a large kitchen knife from a sheath and chased him before grabbing him by the

shoulder and stabbing him multiple times. Mr Bertocci collapsed and was unable to be revived. Last Thursday, on what would have been Mr Bertocci’s 50th birthday, his actions were recognised with an Australian Bravery Medal awarded by Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove for an act of courage outside a warlike situation. “Sadly, there are those whose brave acts mean they are no longer with us,” Sir Peter said. “I express the nation’s sadness at your loss but pride in your loved one’s actions. “On behalf of all Australians, I thank them for their bravery.”

Mr Bertocci left behind his wife, Helen, and their two daughters, Ashlee, now aged 17, and Brylee, now four. Mrs Bertocci said her husband’s national bravery decoration gave the family comfort. “He just acted as a true man that day,” she said. “It’s good for society as a whole to embrace the fact and give him a title as a hero. “The way he acted was as a true man should, and men still should – they have to step up.” Last November, Mr Bertocci was recognised by the Royal Humane Society of Australasia with the Posthumous Medal. Mr Bertocci’s killer, Jonathon Sporton, was sentenced to 21 years’ jail with a 17-year minimum.

History heads back to the track The Australian Grand Prix may have roared into the sunset for another year, but Maribyrnong’s high speed history is about to be talk of the town. The Tracey’s Speedway Maribyrnong reunion will be held at Maribyrnong Reserve this Sunday, April 8. Tracey’s Speedway was built in 1946 as the

Maribyrnong Speedway, but changed its name in 1951 when 1947 solo motorcycle champion Fred Tracey took the reins. The speedway hosted all the leading drivers of the era including Frank Brewer, Graham McCubbin and Bob Tattersall before eventually closing in 1964. Sunday’s family fun day will feature current

sprintcars and speedcars as well as hot rods, solos, sidecars and midgets from bygone days. The event will be held 10am-4pm. Admission is by gold coin donation to the Royal Children’s Hospital. Details: Malcolm Berg on 0412 014 049.

The contribution of the arts to the cultural fabric of Maribyrnong has been highlighted in the council’s draft Arts and Culture Strategy. The strategy will guide the council’s investment in the arts and creative industries for the next five years. A council report outlining the strategy noted the area was home to a significant artistic population and a vibrant arts and creative industries sector. “It is also home to a culturally rich and diverse community that is eager to participate in and engage with the arts,” the report stated. Maribyrnong’s creative industries sector provides about 1500 jobs, almost 4 per cent of the area’s workforce, pumping almost $300 million into the economy. The report stated Footscray in particular was home to several nationally and internationally recognised arts organisations, including the Footscray Community Arts Centre, Women’s Circus and Snuff Puppets. “These organisations, as well as others in the area that are focused on young people … are committed to furthering community-engaged arts practice, and provide an unequalled opportunity for the community of Maribyrnong.” The policy was developed in consultation with arts organisations, artists and community organisations as well as traders’ associations, industry bodies and Indigenous organisations. The draft strategy will be open for public comment for four weeks before a final strategy is adopted.

Search for landfill alternative By Benjamin Millar Waste generated by Maribyrnong residents could soon be burnt to create electricity, following China’s ban on importing contaminated recycled material. Maribyrnong council is joining four other inner-city councils in a bid to build their own waste-to-energy plant, signing on to create a business plan for an alternative waste and resource recovery treatment centre that could be built at Fishermans Bend in Port Melbourne.

Councillors recently voted to enter a memorandum of understanding to explore the feasibility of a number of waste treatment plant types as an alternative to sending the waste to landfill. An officer’s report found that treatment plants that convert thermal waste to energy were likely to be the most feasible type of plant, but identified concerns around the resulting pollution and toxic waste. Costs are also likely to be about 50 per cent higher than those for landfill.

The council report noted that the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group (MWRRG), made up of the five councils, had released a discussion paper covering financial costs and risks of alternative waste technologies. “It does not cover social and environmental risks at this stage, some of which are significant especially for the thermal waste to energy technologies,” the report stated. “Thermal waste to energy technologies pose the greatest risks to human health and the

environment due to high levels of air pollution and toxic ash caused by incineration.” MWRRG said it was likely to develop sites for two treatment plants. It is aiming to have a tender out for the first treatment facility finalised and released by August. The council report noted that Port Phillip council was very keen to establish an alternative treatment plant at Fishermans Bend. Maribyrnong council’s existing landfill contract expires in 2021.

Refined literary offering Author Helen Gildfind will this month launch her first book The Worry Front, a short-story collection with references to the west’s refineries and the old quarry at Newport Lakes. The collection – covering themes such as the medicalisation of the human body and human and animal relationships – includes her Griffith Review-winning novella titled Quarry. “I grew up in Newport and have lived both near the Newport Power Station and Newport Lakes for over 30 years,” Gildfind said. “It’s such a distinct part, this side of the city. “Throughout the stories, the refineries are this paradoxical thing where they’re very beautiful at night but they’re so destructive and toxic.” Although the locations aren’t named, anyone familiar with Hobsons Bay will recognise them. In one story, two siblings describe the Altona Mobil refinery as seen from the roof of their home in the back streets of Seaholme. “Over our back fence lay a stretch of empty

land full of weeds, burnt-out cars, dumped rubbish and upturned trolleys,” the sister says. “That place lit up at night: kilometres of white lights ordered into floating geometric patterns.” In another, the protagonist swims laps to lessen her pain from a terrible injury and looks at the fog-blurred lights of the refinery, centred perfectly in the metal-framed glass walls. It’s a reference to Bayfit Leisure Centre at Altona North and the refinery is a metaphor for her body – “It’s a terrible beauty. How she loves it.” The Worry Front will be launched by novelist Andrea Goldsmith at Readings’ Carlton store on April 12. It is also available at www. margaretriverpress.com/shop/new-releases/ the-worry-front/ Goya Dmytryshchak Author Helen Gildfind’s book explores some landmarks of the west. (Mark Wilson)

Willy RSL vows to hold service By Goya Dmytryshchak Williamstown RSL will hold an Anzac Day dawn service despite being “in no man’s land” without a club. The sub-branch dissolved after its club, at the corner of Ferguson Street and Melbourne Road, was last year forced to close due to a multi-million dollar debt. The club was subsequently placed in voluntary administration before being sold to a childcare centre developer to recoup a $3.5 million debt.

Former Williamstown RSL vice president Bob Pearman said former members were determined to continue their traditional dawn service. “It is going to happen: rain, hail or shine – we are having a dawn service,” he said. “The group has really drifted apart, we don’t see many of the people like we used to. “I know the group that I was involved with – there’s probably a dozen or so of us – we’re in no man’s land. “The biggest difficulty we have is, we’ve got no resources any more, we’ve got no revenue.

“Thanks to some very generous businesses, we’re able to finance the dawn service.” Hobsons Bay Yacht Club opposite the Williamstown cenotaph will host a gunfire breakfast after the 6am service. Victorian RSL chief operations officer Brian Cairns had said the sub-branch must repay $1.77 million of its debt, owed by the trading arm, before it could re-establish. State president Robert Webster said the community was running the dawn service. “Williamstown RSL Sub-Branch Inc is in liquidation,” he said.

“Until that is fully resolved, we are not going to do anything regarding a sub-branch.” Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said he was hopeful the sub-branch could rebuild. “The closure of the Williamstown RSL has left a big hole, but I’m hoping that hole will only be temporary,” he said. “There is enough goodwill and support in this community to re-establish an RSL in Williamstown. “Big numbers always turn out for our local dawn service and I expect this year will be no different.”

Sailing into leadership A search is under way for two young people to join a 10-day voyage on the Young Endeavour tall ship as part of the African-Australian Leadership Challenge. The challenge has been designed to identify and invest in emerging leaders from the African-Australian community in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Gellibrand MP Tim Watts said the search is on for a male and a female aged 16-23 to join him on the voyage later this year. Mr Watts said the Young Endeavour is no stranger to Melbourne’s west, regularly docking at Seaworks in Williamstown. “The Young Endeavour is a symbol of the potential of young Australians that is well known around the country,” he said. “I’ve never sailed on a ship, so it will be as much of a challenge for me as the young leaders.” The two young leaders will then join Mr

Watts in Canberra to see Parliament and meet political leaders from all sides of politics. John Kuot from South Sudanese Australian Youth United said the challenge will help open a gateway for people in Melbourne’s west. “This is a wonderful opportunity, which is not often afforded to the many great young people within our African community.” Applications close April 30, via www. timwatts.net.au or mail to Tim Watts MP, 97 Geelong Road, Footscray, 3011.

Ten arrested for graffiti crimes By Alesha Capone Police have arrested 10 people after executing warrants at properties across the west last week, as part of a major operation targeting graffiti vandals. More than 700 charges were laid against the alleged offenders, including a 22-year-old Truganina man who was charged with 295 counts of graffiti-related offences including conduct endangering life, criminal damage, burglary, possess with the intent to damage and trespass. A 21-year-old Yarraville man was charged

with 121 counts of graffiti-related offences including conduct endangering life, criminal damage, burglary, possess with the intent to damage and trespass. Another five people – a 23-year-old Truganina man, a 20-year-old Altona man, a 20-year-old South Kingsville man, a 30-year-old Seaford man and a 31-year-old West Footscray man – were charged with more than 300 of counts of graffiti-related offences collectively including criminal damage, possess with the intent to damage and trespass. All of those arrested were bailed to appear in court at a later date.

Police said a 30-year-old Tarneit man, a 20-year-old Altona Meadows man and a 46-year-old South Kingsville woman would also be charged on summons. Police made the arrests early last Tuesday morning, while carrying out warrants at properties in Truganina, Yarraville, Altona, Tarneit, Seaford, Brunswick and West Footscray, as part of an operation codenamed Samurai. A number of items were seized from the properties including two cars, cannabis plants, quantities of ecstasy and ice, cash, laptops, phones, memory cards and hard drives.

Police also seized allegedly stolen goods valued at more than $100,000. Arson and explosives experts attended a property in Yarraville after explosive devices were allegedly located inside a vehicle. Acting Superintendent Andrew Gustke said the results showed Victoria Police’s dedication to holding graffiti vandals to account. “We’ve seen horrific injuries and even deaths as a result of the risky behaviour people engage it to commit these offences so we take it extremely seriously,” he said. Anyone with information a is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Bright look for Tweddle A Footscray organisation helping parents through the tricky early years is about to receive a welcome facelift. Tweddle Child and Family Health service has received a federal government capital improvement grant that will pay for new paint, carpet and blinds to help brighten the centre, along with extra toilets and repairs to water-damaged walls. The grant has been provided as part of the Commonwealth Government Stronger Communities Program, which delivers $150,000 to each electorate for small community projects. Tweddle has provided families living across Gellibrand with parenting support since 1920, currently providing help to 730 expectant families through its childbirth education classes. It also runs health professional training and

parenting groups such as Circle of Security, Footprints for Success and MyTime. Tweddle chief executive Jacquie O’Brien said she was grateful for the support provided by the grant. “Tweddle’s education centre is home to many individuals and groups gaining knowledge and skills,” she said. “Community centres like this strengthen participation in families, workplaces and communities.” Benjamin Millar

Williamstown’s history-packed “Shenandoah” house is being offered for sale for the first time in 42 years. Bus loads of tourists visit the double-storey house at 17 Ann Street to see a mural of Confederate warship CCS Shenandoah, which adorns an external wall of the corner building. Another wall bears an external plaque acknowledging the house was formerly the Telegraph Hotel, circa 1858 and rebuilt in 1862. It is one of the last original properties on the former Port Phillip Woollen Mill site, which is being transformed by residential development. Shenandoah house is owned by historian Leigh Goodall, former chairman of the Williamstown Maritime Association. “When I was sailing and I was over in North America, I researched the Shenandoah and found that the CCS Shenandoah was a warship by the Confederate Navy that came into Williamstown, and virtually none of the Williamstown locals knew about that history,” he said. “When I got back, I was that inspired with the story that I started the Shenandoah Society, and that led to the Williamstown Maritime Association which ran three major boat shows, and that led to Seaworks who gained the lease on the site [where the ship docked].” The original home burnt down and was rebuilt with bluestone from Point Gellibrand. Mr Goodall, 72, said the house burnt down again on his 40th birthday. The walls withstood the ferocious fire and the remainder of the house was rebuilt in keeping with period style. He bought the house in a derelict state for about $38,000. The house is listed for auction by Williams Real Estate on April 28 at 12.30pm.

Boxer beaten by Kokoda By Goya Dmytryshchak

(Dennis Manktelow)

Williamstown former world champion boxer Barry Michael was flown to hospital last week after becoming injured on the Kokoda Trail. Michael, 62, had left Australia for Papua New Guinea on March 18 to trace the footsteps of Australia’s soldiers in World War II. On day seven, after trekking more than 100 kilometres, there was a downpour as his group was descending a mountain around Nauro. Michael tripped on tree roots across the slippery track and landed on his right side with

the full weight of his body. About 18 months earlier, he had cracked three ribs on that side. “I just screamed, a big scream of pain – ‘I’ve busted my ribs’ – because I knew I had,” Michael said. He managed to walk another two hours “in a lot of pain” before being flown by helicopter to Moresby hospital. Michael arrived home on Wednesday. English-born Michael said the experience had been “life changing” and made him realise even more the sacrifice made by Australian and Allied troops.

“I got so emotional so many times at different spots where there’s been major battles,” he said. “Our soldiers didn’t have food, were out there for friggin’ weeks and weeks fighting a mostly-unseen enemy. “Just to realise what our men went through … it’s hell in that jungle.” Michael had been trekking with a company run by Commonwealth boxing champion Mick O’Malley, who described it as a freak fall. “It’s just unfortunate, there was a lot of rain and he just put his foot in the wrong spot,” O’Malley said.

Band talks up silence The Footscray-Yarraville City Band is drumming up support for a major tour marking 100 years since the end of World War I. The Silent Anzac project commemorates the centenary of armistice WWI, honouring the many men and women of Melbourne’s west who enlisted to serve in the war. Colin Harrison, the band’s Silent Anzac project manager, said the unprecedented sacrifice of lives in the First World War was a defining event that shaped Australia. “The band has played a significant part in expressing our community’s deeply felt gratitude for the service and sacrifice of the men and women of our armed forces,” he said. This year a Silent Anzac Road Show will attend local schools and community events, the band’s caravan displaying WWI memorabilia and providing research resources. The project will culminate in a tour of France, Belgium and the UK in November,

where the band will participate in official commemoration ceremonies. The band will be performing its show in Paris, Amiens Cathedral and London, as well as conducting commemorative services at the Australian National Memorial in France and Menin Gate in Belgium. The show depicts the characters and events from the opening of the Gallipoli campaign to the final months of the war. “A highlight of the tour will be the commemoration ceremonies conducted by the band and the laying of wreaths and poppies,” Mr Harrison said. Before heading overseas the band will be performing The Silent Anzac on October 27 at the Williamstown Town Hall. To dedicate a poppy or wreath, or sponsor or donate to the project, email contact@fycb.com.au. Benjamin Millar

Excellent learning curve By Goya Dmytryshchak A Laverton school has been recognised by the federal government for delivering one of Australia’s biggest improvements in NAPLAN results. The improvement in performance between 2015 and 2017 places the school among the most improved schools in the country. Almost 60 per cent of St Martin de Porres Primary School’s 228 students come from non-English speaking backgrounds and 35 per cent come from families in the lowest economic bracket.

‘‘

The kids at our school now see themselves as learners - Dan Ryan

’’

The school’s literacy and numeracy leader, Daniela De Luca, said the students’ results showed accelerated growth. “The state average growth for numeracy was 92, compared to our school’s average growth of 140,” Ms De Luca said. “The state mean growth for reading was 75, compared to our school’s growth of 116. “The average growth for two years’ learning is 78.” Principal Dan Ryan said the school’s 2015 results made it clear that more needed to be done. “Our students come from a range of cultural and economic backgrounds and we are enormously proud of what they have achieved,” he said. “We are proud of the fact that we know everyone by name and we as a school community are inclusive of all who come here, familiar or otherwise.

“We are looking forward to the results of this year’s NAPLAN to continue to track and celebrate our improvement growth. The kids at our school now see themselves as learners and this is a confidence boost for them.”

The school made well above-average improvements in all four NAPLAN categories – numeracy, reading, writing and spelling – placing its overall results on par with the average Australian school.

Golfing spirit raises smiles Community groups will be the beneficiaries of $35,000 raised at the third Hobsons Bay Community Fund golf day at Altona. In the past 11 years, the fund has awarded cash grants totalling $222,586 to 88 community organisations. Fund chairman Hayden Raysmith said the highlights of last month’s event included two women’s teams led by high-profile community leaders. “Thanks to the generosity of Kooringal Golf Club and our major sponsors, Budget Car and Truck Rental, CPB John Holland, Victoria University and Urban Maintenance Systems, the Hobsons Bay Community Fund raised $35,000,” he said. “A highlight of this year’s event was the entry of two women’s teams – one organised by councillor Sandra Wilson and the other by Terry Bracks, AM. “Victoria University brought out the big guns with chancellor George Pappas, AO, and vice-chancellor Peter Dawkins, AO, both teeing off on what proved to be a perfect golfing day. “Competition was keen … with the narrowest of margins between the top teams, the ultimate winners were a team led by Steve Bracks, AC, including David Huggins, Kelvyn Lavelle and David Parsons.” Grant applications are now open for community organisations.

MY PLACE Williamstown’s Steven Zammit gained fame at a young age. He speaks with Goya Dmytryshchak. What’s your connection to Hobsons Bay? I was born and raised in the west. I have spent my entire life living in the west and feel a real affinity with this side of town. I moved to Hobsons Bay in 1993 and have been fortunate enough to have lived here ever since. It really is a beautiful part of the world. I feel at home here. My wife and I bought into this area at a good time. Hobsons Bay (Williamstown) is actually where my wife and I met. We celebrate our 20th anniversary this year.

Young Talent Time changed my life in so many ways that I could write a book about it. Sadly there will never be opportunities like it again. Many people would assume we were all spoilt little brats. On the contrary. We worked damn hard six days a week. On top of that, there was school and weaving one’s way through the teenage years. It’s fair to say, you don’t get out of something like that unscathed. It’s a trade-off. Many sacrifices are made. But that’s how it is. It really did instill so much knowledge and unforgettable experiences and friendships. The work ethic I have now is largely due to all those years spent on the show. My wife often says I have an obsessive nature. Everything has to be in its place. Full on preparation for whatever lies ahead. I don’t see it that way. I go by the motto: “Fail to prepare … Prepare to fail”. What would you change? Nothing. Whatever has occurred in my life has placed me where I am today. There’s bigger stuff going on in the world, some of

there six days a week. I feel blessed to still be able to do what I do. I still perform. I write for projects collaborating with colleagues.

when I’m motivated enough, going for a walk or a bike ride is always a joy. There are many eateries and the people are nice.

What do you like about Williamstown?

What’s your favourite eatery?

Everything. It’s a very picturesque part of the world. We don’t live far from the water so,

Adjoining is an open plan living-dining area bathed in light and creating a wonderful sense of space for entertaining and relaxing. Further designer finishes include a classy white bathroom featuring a bath/shower, classic chic tapware and space for your washing machine and dryer. Both bedrooms are of an exceptionally generous ‘old world’ dimension which are rare to find in brand new developments, with the obligatory built in robes. Completing the picture of home address essentials is your own off-street carpark!

SPORT High winds make tough riding in Altona So Dudkiewicz took a gamble and set out to get to the leading riders. “I knew I had to bridge to the guys up the road or I would regret it,” he said. “I got to Brad Erickson, who was in no-man’s-land, hoping to join forces, but he was cooked. So I kept going and got on to Miles DaCosta and Lachlan Marshal and recovered somewhat. I knew that once I got there I could take the sprint.” Dudkiewicz did indeed take the sprint, finishing three bike lengths clear of DaCosta and Marshal, with Jason Costin taking the bunch sprint in behind. In the women’s open race, after a civilised few laps, the attacks started and within 20 minutes the field was split into two bunches. The front bunch of four then split into two bunches of two after Diane Edwards threw in an attack in an attempt to get away solo to victory.

That left Edwards in a great position with Erika Gosney and reigning champion Sarah Dam in hot pursuit with Jill Stevenson. Gosney and Edwards kept the pressure up and maintained their lead over the chasers and then began positioning themselves for the sprint to the line. As they headed into the sprint, Edwards’ gears refused to index for several precious seconds, which meant she lost valuable momentum. Edwards and Gosney approached the line side by side, with Gosney taking the win by a tyre width. Williamstown youngster John Ross took out B grade, Altona Meadows rider Ben Redpath won C grade and Werribee veteran Tommy Gray took out D grade at the age of 75. Mark Micallef

Killer year for Kearney By Lance Jenkinson Western Bulldogs midfield star Emma Kearney was told at the age of 12 that she had no future in football as a player, but that all changed with the arrival of the AFL Women’s competition last year. Kearney is now a premiership player and is the best female player in the game after winning the league’s coveted best-and-fairest medal at The W Awards last Tuesday night. “Certainly growing up, I loved footy, but there was only males on TV,” Kearney said. “My two brothers and I would always be kicking the footy and I guess I was really disappointed I couldn’t play AFL footy. “Like most 12-year-olds, you crack it for about five minutes and then you get over it.” Kearney is a pioneer of the AFLW. The 28-year-old is paving the way for future generations of girls to play the game at the highest level. She is now working at AFL headquarters, but last year she was teaching. It was in her time as a teacher and a junior football coach that Kearney realised how much of an impact she and the rest of the AFLW players were having on the next generation. “I coach an under-12 girls team and the excitement they get from AFLW is incredible,” Kearney said. “Last year when I was a teacher, every Monday morning I’d rock up and be really tired from the game and there’d be about three or four girls standing by my office waiting to talk to me about my game and said that they’d watched me on TV. “That’s really inspiring and it’s super great that there’s so many female role models out there these days.” Kearney is the full package on and off the field. Away from the heat of battle, she is developing coaching programs for future generations of coaches. Even though she plays with Melbourne University in the VFL Women’s, she still finds the time to coach juniors. A dual sports star, Kearney also plays for Melbourne Stars in the Women’s Big Bash League. You have to wonder when she gets a bit of down time. “It has its challenges, but there are so many other people out in the world that are either single parents or working three or four jobs to survive in this world and they’re able to do it, so you suck it up and you do it,” she said. “I’m just so lucky to be able to play both sports.” Kearney’s on-field impact in the Bulldogs AFLW premiership win was unmatched.

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Former world boxing champion Barry Michael left Williamstown to do the Kokoda trek a few weeks back, but unfortunately it did not turn out well. After six days of pretty intense trekking, torrential rain made the track more hazardous than normal. Barry fell and re-injured his ribs, but soldiered on until he could take no more. He was in a bad way and had to be choppered to the nearest hospital. He cried, not from the physical pain of his broken ribs and bruises, but from the emotional toll of seeing what our brave soldiers went through. Barry’s father, Len, 94, was a British fighter pilot in WWII. Barry is back home and recovering and will be ready for his next big fight night (as a promoter) on April 13 at Melbourne Pavilion. ■ Another western suburbs icon passed last week, with the death of Williamstown Football Club Legend Gerry Callahan. “The Monster” was a colossus on and off the field with a big personality to match his unbelievable football career. He was a Seagulls legend, captain of the Team of the Century, five-time premiership captain and coached the club to two flags. He played 171 games and kicked 75 goals, with the club best and fairest medal named in his honour. Condolences from all sports fans in the west to Peggy and Gerry’s family and friends. A great man. RIP. ■ The Yarraville Club Cricket Club is a flag magnet. In another win in the senior VTCA competition, the boys from Hansen Reserve did it in fine style on the back of another lion-hearted bowling display from Evan Bronca. The veteran took 7-50 off 25 overs. Will Sheridan steered the side home with an unbeaten century assisted by Ben Tupper, who was 50 not out. In the subbies, Williamstown defeated Kew to take the premiership. Tim Gage took a match-winning 5-12 to get Werribee home in the twos. ■ The top end of Australian rules footy might be in great shape financially, but local clubs continue to struggle, with Keilor Park the latest to pull the pin in the EDFL and have its senior men’s teams go into recess. In the WRFL, all eyes will be on Glenorden, which is returning after a similar break. It will be very tough, but the Hawks have been through a lot in recent years. I wish them the best and hope they get the support, on and off the field, they need to make the club strong again.

Emma Kearney was pumped after kicking the game-sealing goal for the Western Bulldogs in the grand final against Brisbane Lions. (Shawn Smits)

The onballer was the leading disposal winner in the league with 20 per game and finished first in metres gained, second in clearances, fifth in contested possessions and top 10 in tackles, which earned her All Australian honours for a second year running. Kearney won the count with 14 votes, ahead of Dana Hooker (Fremantle), Chloe Molloy

(Collingwood) and Courtney Gum (GWS Giants), who each had nine votes. Backing up from clinching the Bulldogs’ first premiership, it was a dream week for Kearney. “It has been a great week,” she said. “Obviously Saturday was an amazing feeling. “To celebrate the win with the Bulldogs girls was incredible.”

With a strong and blustery north-westerly howling and dark clouds threatening rain, Footscray Cycling Club riders converged upon Altona’s much-loved Drake Boulevard circuit to contest the Eric Turner Memorial Club Criterium Championships. A series of blistering tailwind attacks in the A-grade race saw the field thinned down considerably before the 30-minute mark, at which point the riders unleashed a series of serious attacks. Reigning club criterium and road champion Dominik Dudkiewicz was a marked man stuck in the bunch. “I think the head and tail wind meant it was hard breaking up the bunch and everyone seemed to have a plan that I wasn’t part of,” he said. “Every time I got into a break it seemed to stall. With five laps to go I was frustrated and stuck.”

Solid defence casts the right spell for Altona Magic Altona Magic came out of a mid-March flat patch in fairly decent shape. The newly-promoted Magic remains just three points off top spot after its opening six National Premier League 2 west games. Magic coach Goran Lozanovski was pleased with how his team responded in the final game before Easter, a 2-1 win over Whittlesea Ranges at Epping Stadium, that followed a mini-slump of back-to-back losses to North Geelong Warriors and Brunswick City. “Even one loss, too many for me,” Lozanovski said. “Having said that, we had a pretty average couple of weeks before the Whittlesea Ranges win, so it was good to turn it around and still be a game off top. “If you had’ve asked me before the season before we kicked a ball, I would’ve been happy to be sitting on 10 points and in the position we’re in at this point in the season.” The Magic banged in nine goals in a game against Sunshine George Cross, but has scored five in its five other matches.

But Lozanovski is not concerned by the lack of goals outside the Georgies game. “I think bar the Brunswick City game where we were pretty poor in the front third, the rest of the games we’re still creating enough chances to score goals,” he said. “At the moment, I’m quite content and I think we’re creating enough opportunities to win games.” Altona’s undoubted strength so far has been its rock-solid defence. The Magic has conceded just six goals, making it the second best defence in the league. A major reason is the form of goalkeeper Rani Dowisha, a recruit from Green Gully Cavaliers who has kept Magic’s injury-hit, promotion-winning goalkeeper Michael Stark out of a spot. Dowisha delighted Magic fans when he kept out a penalty in the victory over Whittlesea. “I’m quite fortunate to have two good goalkeepers competing for the spot,” Lozanovski said. “It’s keeping Rani on his toes. Rani’s got full NPL experience and he’s

Altona brings its A game

Altona City made some noise in its first league game since being promoted to the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 1. City opened the season with a 2-0 win over Keilor Park at Keilor Park Recreation Reserve. It will be looking to repeat the dose when it visits Preston Lions on Saturday. Yarraville Glory began life under new coach Paul Donnelly with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of FC Clifton Hill away. The Glory will play its home opener against Geelong on Saturday at McIvor Reserve.

By Lance Jenkinson You would not believe it by the way they dominated the Bowls Victoria premier division grand final, but Altona went into the decider extremely low on confidence and unsure about how the big day was going to pan out. Hindsight tells you that the A’s were at their menacing best, sweeping Melbourne four rinks to nil and winning with a comfortable 86-58 scoreline at the Deer Park Dome, but there was some uncertainty going in. “It was a bit of relief to get the win actually,” A’s coach Ben Loughlin said. “Everyone was really edgy right up until the day, but then it sort of went like a dream that day. “We weren’t confident going into the grand final. “We were slight underdogs and deserved to be underdogs, but we knew we had to turn up on the day and perform, which we did.” It was the month or so leading into the grand final that planted the seed of doubt in the minds of the Altona players. The A’s were clearly the best team across the home-and-away rounds, but they suffered a form slump just at the wrong time of the season. They suffered two late regular season losses, which had minimal impact from a ladder standpoint, but it created a little bit of self doubt. Then it was on to the finals, where they were beaten comprehensively by Melbourne. Still, the A’s had the benefit of the double chance, so many felt this would be a slight hiccup and straight on to the grand final for a re-match with Melbourne. This is when Altona had its biggest wake up call when it pipped Deer Park by one shot on the last bowl of the day. It was too close for comfort and even created a negative mindset. “We were lucky to get out of the prelim,” Loughlin said. “We deserved to be underdogs in the grand final. “Melbourne beat us in the first final and we only just got over the line in the prelim against Deer Park.” Altona wiped the slate clean in the lead-up to grand final week. The A’s had worked too hard and achieved too much throughout the season to let the pennant slip out of their hands. They also had memories of last year’s disappointing finals exit to spur them on and wanted to do it for captain Brett Foley, who possibly played his last game for the club. “It was a strong resolve not to let the chance go by,” Loughlin said. “We got knocked out of the finals early last year, so we didn’t want that feeling again. “Brett bleeds for the club and we wanted to

well as a unit. Stojcevski has been the more adventurous, overlapping from left back to join the attack, but without neglecting his defensive responsibilities. Elmazi is a youngster who has shown growing maturity since late last season, while Pistininzi is an experienced campaigner from Pascoe Vale and a tough nut to crack. Wilkes was a bonus pick-up on the eve of the season who has showed a hunger to keep his place. Just as important to the function of the defence is defensive midfielder Troy Ruthven, who provides additional cover. Altona will return fresh from a nine-day break for a clash with Ballarat City at Paisley Park on Saturday night. Lozanovski said the Easter refresher had come at a good time. “We’ve had a few injuries over the last few weeks, a few knocks and bruises,” he said.

Football

Williamstown Football Club is mourning the passing of club legend Gerry Callahan. A life member, Callahan played 171 games and kicked 75 goals after joining the Seagulls in 1951. Callahan, who passed away peacefully at the age of 89 last week, captained the Gulls to five premiership in the 1950s and was senior coach for 10 years, from 1958 to 1967. Callahan was named centre half-back and captain in Williamstown’s team of the century and the club’s best-and-fairest award is named in his honour.

Lacrosse

Footscray stars Chris Plumb, Jeffrey Melsopp and James Lawerson have been named in the Australian men’s lacrosse team. The 23-player squad will travel to Israel in July for the FIL Men’s World Lacrosse Championships. Plumb has the incredible honour of captaining the Australian team. In addition to that trio, Footscray young gun Peter Kwas has been named as a travelling alternate.

do it for him. He’s our captain, our leader and is probably going to leave to go interstate. “That was our last chance that we’re going to play with him in pennant games.” It was a fairytale ending for Altona. The A’s took control of the match early and never relinquished the lead. “We jumped them early and got out to about 10 or 15 up,” Loughlin said.

“They did make a run at us and got it back to about nine shots, but we got it back out to about 20 fairly quick after that. “With about 15 or 20 ends to go, we knew we had it in the bag. “Everyone from the club who came and watched said to all of us that there wasn’t anyone on the green that didn’t contribute and that doesn’t happen very often.”

The fixture for the inaugural Western Region Football League women’s football competition has been released. The season will begin on April 22, with 10 teams competing over 15 rounds before four weeks of finals. In the opening round, Laverton will travel to Tarneit, Spotswood is away to Point Cook Centrals and West Footscray will visit Caroline Springs. In other first-round games, Wyndhamvale and Werribee Centrals will square off in a derby and Manor Lakes will entertain North Sunshine.

Finding the right hearing aid ...... is only half the solution

OTICON OPN Recommended for hearing in noisy environments

Marina Opacak, an audiologist who works with Cris Ivanidis, owner of Active Audiology, says hearing loss is a difficult condition to treat as many sufferers are not ready to take action, or feel confused about what to do. “Cris and I understand how difficult it can be. We’ve counselled hundreds of people through a range of emotions associated with accepting hearing loss and doing something about it. “Finding the right hearing aid is only half the solution. The other half is finding the right professional, one who puts people at ease, as well as being technically competent with fine-tuning the aid. If tuning isn’t done correctly, a hearing aid can feel uncomfortable or, even worse, be completely useless.” Marina helps many people who have been fitted at another clinic with supposedly “the best” hearing aids, only for them to leave the aid in their bedside drawer. “Makers of hearing aids will promise the latest and greatest technology, but we often see one ‘state-of-theart’ technology works beautifully for one person and not the other. Or that same aid was simply adjusted incorrectly to the client’s hearing profile. “After a 60-minute appointment, I’m able to re-tune the settings and make the aid feel comfortable and functional. Finding the right audiologist is as important as finding the right aid,” Marina says.

How is Active Audiology different to the “big” clinics? Active Audiology is an independent clinic, which these days is become rarer and rarer – just one in five clinics in Victoria is now independent. This means Cris and Marina are not tied to prescribing particular brands of hearing aids – which is what happens with corporate clinics. They use their own expertise and research to select the correct brand for their clients – and can choose from every brand on the market.
