Australia’s first Vietnamese cultural and heritage centre will be built in the heart of Footscray to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the first wave of refugee arrivals. The $20 million centre, proposed by the Victorian chapter of the Vietnamese Community Australia, is likely to be built on a carpark on Donald Street after Maribyrnong council threw its support behind the project. The VCA first began pursuing the project in Phong Nguyen, Chi Hoang and Nhan Nguyen at 2002, but has struggled to find a suitable site. the site of the planned Vietnamese cultural and A packed public chamber erupted into heritage centre in Footscray.

Footscray – they are very excited,” he said. “We are very proud that we have contributed so much to Australia and our second generation are very excited by this.” Mr Nguyen said the next step would be raising funds and he expected the Vietnamese community would dig deep. “For the right cause, our community are very generous and very committed,” he said. “I do believe with the support that we have so far, and the commitment we have from the businesses in the area, that it can be done in the timeline we have set, which is 2025.” Mr Nguyen said the centre would be one of the first of its kind in the world, serving as a lasting tribute to the Vietnamese community. “It’s very important to preserve the culture and the history of the Vietnamese settlement in Australia,” he said. “Words are not enough to say how appreciative we are.”

Chi Hoang, who is among the 10 per cent of Maribyrnong’s population born in Vietnam, is a strong supporter of the project. She said the local Vietnamese community was overjoyed by the council’s decision. “It will bring the tourists and make Footscray booming,” she said. “I want to thank Australia and the councillors who voted for this.” Nhan Nguyen said the project would be a way of sharing the Vietnamese community’s story with the broader community. “It’s a very central space, so students and others can easily travel here and learn the stories,” he said. Mayor Cuc Lam said Footscray had long been a welcoming place for the Vietnamese community. “This museum will be one of significance for generation to generation,” she said.

A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

OUT AND ABOUT

We were pleased to adopt the 2018-19 Annual Budget and Strategic Resource Plan at the Ordinary Council Meeting Tuesday 26 June. Our budget continues to build on a fiscally responsible foundation, displaying good governance and taking into consideration community feedback. We’re proud to deliver a budget that plans for the long-term and keeps costs down which is one of our continuing objectives.

There are the usual challenges we’ve had to meet with this budget – the maintenance of aging infrastructure, planning for rapid population growth and maintaining excellence in program and service delivery – all within the 2.25% rate cap imposed by the Victorian Government. Council delivers more than 70 services across the areas of recreation, libraries, maternal and child health, animal management, sustainability, infrastructure, planning and other services. We’re spending over $100 million on maintaining these services that are well-used by the community. The essential services, that have been prioritised, focus on achieving the objectives of our Council Plan. We value community feedback and invite you to take part in the community consultations that are now online at www. yourcityyourvoice. com.au

At the Australian Local Government Association meeting in Canberra, Mayor Cr Cuc Lam spoke on the priorities that local government saw for the Federal Government.

With the State election coming up later this year, it’s timely to look at public transport in our City. The existing public transport system isn’t adequate to service our needs, and with our population expected to dramatically grow over the next 20 years, the State Government has to start planning now. We need improved bus services, including north-south links, better frequency and reliability, a Footscray bus terminal that links to train services, and better services to Sunshine Hospital and the new Footscray Hospital and trams. We also need tram services along Footscray and Dynon Roads to provide us with fast access to the city. The West Gate Tunnel project will take trucks off our streets, but we need to reduce the amount of transport – cars and trucks – passing through our City. This can be achieved by building Westlink – a direct route from Docklands underground to Brooklyn to link with the ring road.

I’ve been a Councillor for over 20 years, and an airport rail link has been discussed for all of those 20 years. This is now becoming a priority. While I see merit in the options that pass through Sunshine and Footscray, the way forward has to also cater for more than a link to the airport. It has to also cater for the needs of the local community. So now is the time for both the Federal and State Governments to step up and deliver – give us the transport infrastructure that we want and so desperately need.

By Benjamin Millar Businesswoman, philanthropist and women’s football pioneer Susan Alberti has been crowned the 2018 Victorian of the Year. Dr Alberti has helped raise millions of dollars for research into a cure for type one diabetes after her daughter Danielle, a diabetes sufferer, died in her arms on a flight home from New York. She tackled the male-dominated building industry to become one of the first women to obtain a commercial builders’ licence in Victoria. The doyenne of women’s football was

vice-president of her beloved Western Bulldogs when they won the 2016 premiership. She was a driving force behind the successful push to establish the AFLW women’s competition, leading to her appointment as the competition’s inaugural ambassador in 2017. Dr Alberti was announced the 2018 Victorian of the Year at a ceremony at Melbourne Town Hall on Monday. She was selected by the Trustees of the Victorian Day Council, made up of previous Victorian of the Year Award recipients. Council chairman Tony Cree said he was delighted to introduce Ms Alberti as one of this year’s winners.

“The Victoria Day Council recognises people in the community that have gone above and beyond their contribution to the community within Victoria,” he said. Dr Alberti is the past president of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Through the Susan Alberti Medical Research Foundation, she has helped to raise more than $6 million towards finding a cure for type 1 diabetes. After joining the board of the Western Bulldogs Football Club in 2004, she became the founding co-chair of its Forever Foundation and was awarded life membership of the club in 2015.

From barbershop to a bar? One Williamstown barber certainly hopes that will be the case. The owner of La Bodega Barbershop and Shave Parlour, at 1 Cole Street, has applied to Hobsons Bay council for a planning permit to serve alcohol after the last cut of the day, which is about 7pm. A report prepared for La Bodega by On Tap Liquor states that limited alcohol would be supplied during ordinary barbershop hours, with the venue becoming a small-scale tavern after hours. The tavern would open until 11pm seven days a week and would have a maximum capacity of 30 patrons. No live music is proposed and recorded music would be “no higher than background level”. “This proposal relates to a small-scale premise, and the hours proposed are not considered as ‘late night’ or ‘high risk’,” the report by the liquor industry consultant states. “Victoria Police assault data may suggest that the density of packaged liquor outlets is associated with assaults, however there is no direct evidence to suggest there is a causal relationship between the number of licensed outlets and violence or assaults and there are only two packaged liquor outlets within the study area [within a 500-metre radius]. “It is not expected that the hours of operation will attribute to unreasonable noise or nuisance given the proposed use.” No additional parking spaces are proposed.

The application and supporting documentation may be inspected at the Hobsons Bay Civic Centre 8.30am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday, or via Greenlight, Council’s online permit management system, at www. hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au Any person who may be affected by the granting of the permit may object or make other submissions to the Council in writing, including the reasons for an objection and stating how the objector would be affected by 18 July 2018. Objectors will be advised of the decision. For further information, please contact Rachael Hayes on 9932 1000.

Painting honours ‘Didds’

Rate hike for residents

By Goya Dmytryshchak A memorial dedicated to special forces commander Sergeant Blaine Diddams was unveiled at Altona RSL Club on Saturday. Sgt Diddams, ‘Didds’ to his mates, was awarded the first posthumous Medal for Gallantry in Australian history after being killed in action in 2012. The 40-year old had been on his seventh combat tour in Afghanistan, although he had also served in Somalia, Solomon Islands and East Timor. He was leading a group of Australian and Afghan special forces troops on a mission to capture a Taliban commander when an insurgent bullet struck above his body armour. Many of his “brothers” from the Special Air Service Regiment turned out on Saturday, among them Ross Walker who has since retired. “Didds was known best as the lovable larrikin in the SAS Regiment, with a big smile, always up for a beer and a laugh, and generally in some level of shit,” he said. The father-of-two was also a devoted family man, linked to the local area by family and by his time at the Fort Gellibrand Army base in Williamstown. His sister Sian Diddams said the anniversary of her brother’s death was commemorated by the family each year at the Altona club. At the memorial painting unveiling on Saturday, Ms Diddams made a dedication to her late brother. “Known for his outwards personality and quirky sense of humour, he was held in the highest regards by his mates, comrades and commanding officers,” she said. “On July 2, 2012, [he] displayed inspiration, leadership and selfless courage in extremely hazardous circumstances. To support his patrol

Hobsons Bay ratepayers will be hit with an average eight per cent increase, with some paying up to 20 per cent more, in their next rates notice in September. Meanwhile, the petrochemical industry will pay an average of 19 per cent less. Residential waste charges will rise by an average 27.6 per cent due to increased costs associated with China’s ban on low-quality recycled paper and plastics. Seabrook, Altona Meadows and Laverton residential property owners will be hit with double-digit rate rises. Mayor Angela Altair said rates in 2018-19 were based on property valuations as at January 1, 2018, so rate rises would vary considerably. “While it might appear as though the industrial category is receiving relief, they are still contributing,” she said. “Petrochemical ratepayers, for example, contribute just under $2.6 million in rates which is about 2.43 per cent of total rates paid across Hobsons Bay. “There is a common misconception that as properties are revalued, council receives a ‘windfall’. “This is not the case … the revaluation process results in a redistribution of the rate burden. “With significant increases in residential property values, well above the non-residential sector, the rates burden shifts to residential properties.”

Educators Krystal Kaur and Kirsten Goldsmith make the cut. (Damjan Janevski)

Hair-raising experience Educators at a Maidstone childcare centre and kindergarten have braved the shave to raise money for a cause close to their hearts. Explorers Early Learning Centre director Kate Sorrell said the centre was recently rocked by the devastating news that one of the children was losing their battle with brain cancer, which they had been fighting for more than a year. In the same week the centre learnt that one of their educators had been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer that develops in the lymphatic system. “Here at Explorers we are a close community, when one person hurts the whole team hurts,” Ms Sorrell said.

“But no one fights alone. This has become our mantra over the course of the last few weeks, as we have come together to organise a fundraiser to raise money for Cure Brain Cancer Foundation and Leukaemia Foundation.” A number of educators put their hands up to have their hair shaved off last Friday and some of the children even asked if they could join in. “The extended community has come to our aid as well offering vouchers and supplies so that we could make this event one to remember,” Ms Sorrell said. “We have raised $9000 and counting.” Benjamin Millar

Council appeals against pokies By Benjamin Millar Maribyrnong council has moved to block an attempt by a Footscray hotel to add 17 new gaming machines. The Powell Hotel applied to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) to increase the number of poker machines at the venue from 30 to 47. The application by the hotel, on the corner of Ballarat Road and Gordon Street, would also involve a $500,000 redevelopment of the venue including a lounge/bar area, alfresco area and outdoor children’s play area.

But Maribyrnong council has concerns it wants the VCGLR to consider when reviewing the application, including the potential impact of problem gambling. A submission prepared by the council warned of the hotel’s close proximity to Footscray Hospital, the new Kinnears Ropeworks development and public housing on Gordon Street. It comes as the council moves to join a dozen other councils in becoming a principal partner of the Alliance for Gambling Reform, which costs $15,000. The alliance advocates to state and federal

governments to reduce the harm from electronic gaming machines. There are currently 454 gaming machines across Maribyrnong, just 17 below the legal cap of 471 – reduced last September from from 511. Maribyrnong gamblers lost $54 million on poker machines in 2016-17, the equivalent of $770 for every adult. The Powell Hotel collected almost $4 million of those losses. A council officer outlining the submission noted that problem gambling can impair physical and mental health, create financial difficulties, relationship and family breakdown and encourages criminal activity.

“The Powell Hotel gaming room … has a separate external entrance which allows for easy access to patrons using the gaming room,” it stated. “Council is concerned that these access arrangements may encourage patrons to engage only in the offerings of this area of the venue, and to gamble for longer.” The council also said the renovations would make the venue more attractive for residents and people working in the area. “Such improvements are aimed at getting more people onto the gaming floor.” The hotel has been contacted for comment.

Frustrated parents are fuming at further lengthy delays to the redevelopment of a West Footscray childcare centre. Maribyrnong council is spending more than $5 million to rebuild the trouble-plagued Church Street Children’s Centre, more than double the $2 million budget for the original redevelopment. A six-month ‘temporary’ relocation of children to Maribyrnong Community Centre in 2016 has blown out to at least three years, with families now told the works are not due to be completed until August 2019. Renovations to the ageing centre were halted in mid-2016 when builders discovered “serious structural design issues”. The council decided to demolish the building and replace it with a two-storey, 98-place centre. But Amanda Wealands, chair of the centre’s parent group, said despite pushing for a shorter timeframe parents have been unable to shift the completion date. “It’s just beyond disappointing that it takes more than three years to do anything of that standard,” she said. Ms Wealands said the lengthy relocation has taken a financial toll and forced many families to move to closer centres. “Since we moved our enrolments have decreased substantially due to the uncertainty of our location and travel time to the temporary site,” she said. “Council has assisted where possible in

No tennis for Dennis? By Goya Dmytryshchak A group of residents last week protested against a proposal to construct two new tennis courts at Dennis Reserve in Williamstown. Hobsons Bay council last month endorsed an assessment which recommended two courts be built on the decommissioned women’s bowling green. However, the report noted that “council needs to resolve the future use of this site through the Dennis Reserve Master Plan process”. The assessment identified the $600,000 two new courts at Williamstown Central Tennis Club (Dennis Reserve) as a short-term priority. Bonnie Gelman is part of a campaign calling for more public open space in Dennis Reserve and not more tennis courts. “We are asking council to do its best for the majority of residents,” she said. “This is a small neighbourhood park. A number of multi-storey residential developments are planned nearby. “More open space for a variety of uses is needed. The development of two more fenced-off tennis courts is problematic. “None of us are anti-tennis. We are just asking that the master plan process for Dennis Reserve results in preference being given to facilities that are accessible, multi-use and beneficial to the broadest cross section of our community.” Williamstown Central Tennis Club president Michael Greaves said the disused bowling green presented an opportunity to create tennis courts and open space. “The tennis courts can be done in a way that opens up a fair bit of that existing bowling green as open space,” he said. “There are a lot of people in our community

that play tennis and we are having to travel outside our community to play. “We have an opportunity for a win-win. We have an opportunity to improve that park, open up more open space and add two additional tennis courts.” A council spokeswoman said no decision had been made. “No decision has been taken by council on the future use of the site at Dennis Reserve,” she said. “A report is expected to go back before the council for their consideration in July.”

Council call for refugee shift The federal government must urgently improve and expand its refugee community sponsorship program, according to Maribyrnong council. Councillors last week voted unanimously to pass a motion to beef up the Community Support Program, which allows community groups, businesses, families and individuals to become refugee sponsors. The motion was put by mayor Cuc Lam, who arrived in Australia from Vietnam as a refugee. Cr Lam said the current system was too expensive, costing up to $50,000 a place, and there were too few spots available. Her successful motion calls on the federal government to provide adequate support and services, limit sponsor costs and create more places for people in need of protection to settle in Australia. Amnesty International Australia refugee campaigner Shankar Kasynathan said Maribyrnong had joined a growing number of councils around the country showing their support for community sponsorship. Mr Kasynathan said a similar program in Canada had helped settle more than 280,000 refugees in the past 40 years, in addition to the country’s humanitarian intake. Australia’s community sponsorship program, by contrast, is capped at 1000 places this year and each space takes away from the annual humanitarian intake of 13,500. Benjamin Millar


Electricity the surprising winner for eco heating

Did you know that gas isn’t as price competitive against electricity as it used to be? Kate Leslie, an energy and water analyst from not-for-profit Alternative Technology Association, reports that this is now a reality. “If you rely on gas for heating but you also have a reverse-cycle air-conditioner, think twice before flicking the switch on the gas appliance,” Ms Leslie says. “Using a reversecycle air-conditioner to heat your home could lower your bills.” Harvey Norman Electrical has Panasonic models of reverse-cycle air-conditioners that will not only save households energy but also support better health, via Panasonic’s nanoe-G air purification system. Simon Day, franchisee of Harvey Norman Electrical, says people are switching on in droves to Panasonic’s advances in the airconditioning and heating market. “As people are learning of the advantages electric heating has compared to gas, they’re coming in to find the right model for their home,” Mr Day says.

Good questions to ask prior to purchase: 1. Which air-conditioner best suits my home’s layout? Consider factors such as insulation, windows and number of rooms requiring heating or cooling.

“One of our popular models is the Panasonic 8.0kW Aero Series Econavi, which comes with the nanoe-G system.

This is a benefit for asthma, allergy or hay fever sufferers because it eliminates micro-organisms – actually removing 99 per cent of airborne bacteria, viruses and mould. And the nanoe-G system even works when the air-con is off. “And right now, customers get a bonus $200 EFTPOS card via redemption when a Panasonic model is purchased. Other Panasonic models are also available.” What else makes Panasonic a good choice for households? When Melbourne’s heat hits hard, a Panasonic reverse-cycle air-conditioner delivers clean, comfortable cooling. The Mild Dry Cooling feature, designed to maintain the level of air moisture in a room, reduces unwanted effects such as dry eyes, skin, mouth and throat. “This is especially useful,” explains Mr Day, “when the air-conditioner is left on overnight during sleep time.” Panasonic’s iAUTO-X technology automatically adjusts fan speed to room temperature, while Econavi sensors adjust cooling power for reduced energy usage. For more information, go to harveynorman.com.au

2. Is the air-conditioner’s kW size the right capacity? This could save heaps of money in the long run. 3. How does it rate on energy efficiency? 4. Will Harvey Norman install your system? Yes – a licensed technician is essential for safety.

A bill passed in Victoria’s Youth Parliament this week calls for compulsory sexual education that deals with emotional aspects of relationships, in addition to biological details. Altona North resident Ali Noura is among six members of the Centre for Multicultural Youth’s team proposing the Fostering Positive Relationships Bill in the YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament. “It’s an educational bill that’s intended to complement pre-existing sexual education curriculum already provided for the youth,” he said.

The other team members are Swathi Shanmukhasundaram, Bayu Pratama, Sasha Mozhnya and Arshdeep Cheema. The bill was passed and will now be considered by the relevant Victorian government minister.

He said the proposed program would cover mental health, abuse and consent. “Even derogatory language, stigma and culture,” Mr Noura said. “For example, the trophy culture among young men versus the culture of shaming experienced by many women, particularly young women.” Another team member, Sunshine’s Nyajimma Koang, said the bill described different sorts of consent and delved into cultural aspects. She is of South Sudanese ethnicity and, like all the team members, of refugee/migrant background. “I think when they are teaching consent in schools, it’s so broad and so open-ended so girls don’t understand the extent of what consent is,” Ms Koang said. “Boys, too. Culturally, where I come from, relationships are not something that’s really discussed.”

Prison term for Ring Road death By Goya Dmytryshchak An Altona Meadows woman has been jailed for a crash that killed a man on the Western Ring Road. Werribee father of three Alan Dunlop, 31, died after he was struck by a car in the emergency lane about 10.40am on May 7, 2016.

Tara Brennan 31, was on Monday sentenced by the County Court to six and a half years’ jail after pleading guilty to culpable driving causing death. She must serve three and half years before being eligible for parole. She also pleaded guilty to possessing a drug of dependence after a quantity of ice was found in her bag on the day of the crash.

On the day of his death, Mr Dunlop had been feeling unwell so his cousin, who was driving, pulled into the emergency lane near Fitzgerald Road in West Sunshine. Mr Dunlop stepped out of the Ford Laser on to the side of the road and soon after the rear of the stationary car was struck by a purple Commodore. Emergency services attended but

Mr Dunlop was pronounced dead at the scene. His cousin suffered minor injuries. Brennan, the sole occupant of the Commodore, sustained minor injuries and was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital under police guard. Mr Dunlop’s children were aged six, nine and 11 at the time of his death.

Generating affection Once a month, children from Altona Kindergarten visit their local aged-care facility, where they are fast forming friendships with residents. About 30 children catch the bus to Estia Health at Altona Meadows as part of their inter-generational learning. Their last visit had a farm animal theme, with children and residents bonding over animals in a petting zoo. Teacher Sue Johnson said the interaction benefited everyone involved. “It all started last year with us doing the inter-generational visits, learning about the importance of the connection between the young and old,” she said. “The animals were spectacular. I saw one lady there, she had about three chickens sitting on her. “They love the animals and enjoy having the children there – the combination of both allows the older folk to open up. You can just see the joy on their faces. “Wonderful relationships are developing between the children and the older folk, and between us with the professionals down at

Estia. There’s just so many benefits on both sides.” The children and residents also work with Lego and do colouring-in together, while residents from Estia have visited the kindergarten to get involved in gardening with the children. Goya Dmytryshchak

that this plug will help decrease my overdue book fines! Can you explain the attraction and importance of place in your creative projects? A sense of place to me is history, security, identity and home. Our First Nation peoples are still pursuing acknowledgement of place and justice. We all have diverse beginnings, but our commonality is our place. My creative projects are site-specific and endeavour to create a platform of conversation to our shared commonality of place.

MY PLACE

What can you tell us about the West Projections Festival?

Creative producer Chantal Wynter’s love of Footscray extends from her life into her site-specific arts projects.

What is your connection with Footscray? I came to the west with the offer of a friend’s spare room and arrived with a ute of my treasured belongings. I’ve been living in Footscray for over 12 years now, which is a long time for me. As a child, we moved around and, as an adult, I lived and travelled extensively around the world. Footscray is my perfect fit and where l feel most comfortable. What do you love most about the area? I love walking down Footscray CBD streets

(Supplied)

She speaks with Benjamin Millar. and seeing people from all parts of the world and socio-economic backgrounds, hearing the plethora of languages being spoken, smelling the good and the bad and the unpretentiousness. I would change the truck routes – they infuriate me. What are the things you think of as quintessentially Footscray? Our local and street traders are Footscray. I love that you can buy a pig’s trotter, a neon haircut sign, injera bread and sexy lingerie in the market, then cross the road and buy a chilli

plant from our elderly citizens and a few blocks down buy the best cannoli in Australia. You can do all of this without speaking a word of English! This is fabulous, quintessentially and all-embracing Footscray. Do you have a favourite local place or places to spend time? I like Footscray Library in the mornings with the lovely big windows, the friendly and uber-helpful librarians and, of course, the books. It also allows me to research while my kids can read and run around. Fingers crossed

West Projections Festival is a series of projections with an eclectic public program of events. This year is super exciting, with inaugural pop-up projections in Seddon and West Footscray. Highlights include guided walks with live performance, a children’s drive-in and disco, and a launch street party. What’s something people may be surprised to learn about you? I think lots of creative people have sporting pursuits that are not normally associated with the arts. Mine is competing in ocean swims over the summer period in Victoria. It keeps me fit and alert and is a good way to support the life-saving clubs. Featuring more than 25 artists, next month’s West Projections Festival will celebrate its fifth year of lighting up the streets of Footscray. Details: westprojections.com

MEATY VEGETABLES

JUSTIN CHARLES, FORMER RICHMOND AND WESTERN BULLDOGS AFL PLAYER FB: How do you rate yourself as a cook? JC: I rate my cooking skills as “experienced intermediate”. I have been out of home since I was a teenager, so I had to pick up something along the way, otherwise I’d have been broke getting takeaways all the time! FB: What is your signature dish? JC: Spaghetti bol, but I am deft at following recipes (anal retentive when it comes to following instructions, haha), so I can make even a new dish edible! FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? JC: My wife is Korean, so my last meal would be her chicken curry, beef and black bean, Korean boneless fried chicken, homemade fried rice and kimchi.

As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au

FB: What is your favourite TV food show and who is your favourite TV food person? JC: Don’t really have a favourite TV show, but Gordon Ramsay is by far and away my favourite TV food personality … funniest sprays of all time.

I’m a regular meat eater and I’m the first to admit that a medium rare rib eye straight off the barbie is foodie nirvana for me. But I also eat vegetarian meals on a regular basis and feel equally satisfied when I do. Often I’ll switch to a meat-free alternative. When my hubby makes pizzas in the portable pizza oven he calls the Starship Enterprise, he’ll whip me up one with a vegetarian topping. When we eat hamburgers, I sometimes like to substitute the meat patty for a grilled portobello mushroom. I used to have a preconceived notion that meals without meat were somehow less satisfying. Then I discovered cauliflower! Like mushrooms, cauliflowers have a “meaty” texture. For me they are the most versatile veggie of the lot. If you’ve never tried a cauliflower steak before, I highly recommend giving it a go. This recipe comes courtesy of Nourish Every Day – Healthy Recipes and Nutrition.

GARLIC MUSTARD CAULIFLOWER STEAKS 1 small-to-medium cauliflower 1 and a half tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons mustard powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons maple syrup ½ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 180C. Line a tray with baking paper. Slice the cauliflower into “steaks’ (about 1.5-centimetres thick) to create about three steaks. Mix other ingredients into a paste. Rub paste over the steaks and lay them on the tray. Roast for about 30 minutes, flipping at the 15-minute mark, or until softened and browning at the edges. Serve with chips, salad or a side of your choice.

FB: What is your favourite food? JC: Ummm … toss up between Korean and Mexican. FB: What is your favourite drink? JC: Beer. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? JC: Dave Chappelle (comedian), Joe Rogan (UFC commentator), Joe Maddon (Chicago Cubs manager), Gal Gadot (actress who plays Wonder Woman) and Richard Branson. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? JC: Do the as soon youhave finishany eating (it is demoralising to Asdishes always, if as you wake recipes, up to dirty tips dishesorat other breakfast).

Some 668m2 (featuring frontage of 18.2m approx.) surrounds the residence’s three bedroom spaces, including a generous lounge, central living and dining areas, separate kitchen and previously updated bathroom. A free-standing bungalow, carport, garage, storage shed and low-maintenance outdoor dimensions illustrate the options and the opportunities presented by a property that’s further enhanced by its highly desirable proximity to Vernon Street shops, Newport Lakes Park, Spotswood train station and easy freeway access.

SPORT Top sides clash in a taster for finals run Centre on Saturday. Olivia Colasurdo and Shaunda Ikegwuonu hit the back of the net for the Bulldogs. In men’s premier league, Footscray maintained its pursuit of a finals’ berth with a memorable 2-0 win over premiership contenders Doncaster. The Bulldogs inflicted just the second defeat of the season on second-placed Doncaster. Liam Braithwaite and Robert Wilson scored for Footscray in the upset victory. Altona is riding high in third place after a nail-biting 2-1 win over MCC. Goals from Andrew Scanlon and Matthew Barnett did the trick for Altona. Lance Jenkinson

Seagulls do it for Ben By Lance Jenkinson This was no ordinary day in the 154-year history of the Williamstown Football Club. Grand finals and finals aside, the Seagulls have not been as driven to win a game of football as they were on Sunday – wanting to give inspirational leader Ben Jolley a chance to sing the club song on the day he broke the club’s games record. Thankfully, Williamstown dug deep in the second half to overcome an incredible challenge from Collingwood to win by 30 points in their Victorian Football League match at the Williamstown Football Ground. Seagulls coach Andrew Collins said that while they could have lived with a “best effort” defeat, it was the win they were after. “Everyone really wanted to win for Ben and I’m glad that we did win,” he said. “It would’ve been really sad if we lost that game.” Jolley is no ordinary footballer for Williamstown. The 32-year-old is the heart and soul of the Seagulls. The onballer, originally from Strathmore and the Calder Cannons, arrived at Williamstown after a short four-game AFL career with Essendon. On Sunday he broke Troy West’s long standing games record for the club when he ran out for his 209th game. Jolley’s courage at the coal face is legendary and his determination to win and put others on his back has been a staple of his game for most of his career. Talk to anyone who knows Jolley and they will tell you he is more than just a footballer – he’s a leader, role model and champion person to go with his football ability. “He’s highly regarded,” Collins said. “We’re really lucky to have such a great role model within our football club.” The word that is most often associated with Jolley is loyalty. It was the basis for Seagull stalwart Ed Carr’s speech in a pre-game address. “Ed gave that message that a special footballer and a special person chooses to play VFL over the money [on offer at local football],” Collins said. “The easy option is always to take the money, but Ben’s a four-time best and fairest winner, a seven-time team of the year member and a premiership captain with us.” Jolley capped his big day with a goal in a best-on-ground performance. Even before he pulled on the boots for a record-breaking game, it was already an unforgettable week for Jolley and his wife, Jane, who became parents for the first time to twin girls during the week. Williamstown’s victory was underpinned by a seven-goal-to-two third-quarter blitz. Sam Dunell was massive in that part of the 40 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 4, 2018

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Ben Jolley, a warrior for the Williamstown Football Club for many years, last weekend broke Troy West’s games record for the club. Jolley led his side to a 30-point win over Collingwood in front of the Seagull faithful. Jolley has done it all in the blue and gold, winning the Gerry Callahan Medal for club best and fairest four times and the Ron James Memorial Trophy nine times and leading the club to premiership glory in 2015. He is an inspirational leader, like many before him at Point Gellibrand, and his name deservingly ranks with the likes of Troy West, Terry Wheeler, Saade Ghazi, Ian Rickman and Barry Round, to name but a few. No doubt he will join them in the Williamstown Hall of Fame in the future. ■ Scott Mizzi this weekend will play his 450th WRFL game – an amazing feat. Starting at Altona as a seven year old in the under-9s, Scott has enjoyed a lot of football at several clubs – Sunshine Heights, Deer Park and, currently, with Laverton Magpies. His mother Janine was on the WRFL board for a number of years and the family is entrenched in footy in the west. It is a great milestone, one I hope he can savour. ■ Former Bulldogs and Werribee star Simon Atkins’ success as a coach continues with his charges at St Bernard’s taking out the Associated Catholic Colleges championship against Whitefriars last week by a point. “Axe” loves his involvement with the school, so this back-to-back triumph rates pretty highly. The school has had a very impressive AFL graduation list over the years, including Justin and Simon Madden, Matthew Lloyd, Mitch Wallis, Tom Liberatore, Jude Bolton, Joe Daniher, Dane Swan and emerging Swans star Ben Ronke. Xavier O’Halloran, current Western Jets captain, is set to join that list next year. ■ Sadly I note the passing of former Bulldogs player and Williamstown premiership player Mark Cross. The Bulldogs past players paid tribute to Mark last weekend with a presentation to his widow, Jill, and sons Joel, Shaun and Kane. Mark had a Midas touch with premierships, starting with the 1976 flag with the Seagulls, then being involved as either player or coach with four Red Cliffs victories in the Sunraysia league and then a three-peat with Mildura Imps. He also got Melbourne to two grand finals in the early ’90s as reserves coach.

game for the Seagulls, taking four contested marks for the term to give his team the ascendancy. Michael Gibbons was outstanding in the midfield, Nick Rodda was a presence in attack and Jack Charleston and Jack Dorgan offered great run off the half-back line. While the margin on the scoreboard looked comfortable for the Seagulls, it was far from it.

“There was only inches in the game,” Collins said. “The scoreboard looks a bit flattering. We only really had 10 to 15 minutes in the third quarter that we were on top of Collingwood – otherwise the game was evenly poised for most of it.” Williamstown, fifth on the ladder, will head to Port Melbourne on Saturday seeking a fourth consecutive win.

Footscray will face its ultimate test in defence of top spot in the Hockey Victoria women’s premier league. The Bulldogs will be challenged by second-placed Hawthorn in a blockbuster at Hawthorn-Malvern Hockey Centre on Saturday. It is the first time this season the sides have crossed paths and it could be a grand final preview. Footscray’s only loss of the season came in round eight against Southern United. The Bulldogs have returned to form with four wins and a draw in their past five games to head into the Hawthorn battle with confidence. Footscray were made to work hard for a 2-1 win over Doncaster at the Footscray Hockey

North Footscray’s twin wins herald a return to form It has been a two steps forward, one step back kind of season for defending premier North Footscray in Western Region Football League division 2. The Devils are seemingly back on track thanks to two convincing wins – but they will proceed with caution. Devils player-coach Jonathan Miller reckons Saturday’s 73-point win over Parkside at Hansen Reserve was close to the best footy his side has played all season. After trailing by 16 points at quarter-time, the Devils kicked 16 of the last 18 goals of the game. “It was a disappointing start, but on the other hand we had an 89-point turnaround in the final three quarters,” Miller said. “It shows how damaging we can be. “I know our best is good enough. Three quarters is still pleasing and I’d say it was our most consistent performance of the year, bar that first quarter.” North Footscray got the wake up call it needed in a heavy defeat to premiership front runner Yarraville-Seddon three weeks ago.

“We had a few words after that game and a few home truths from some blokes,” Miller said. “We basically committed to get the rock star footy out of our game. “We’re absolutely rapt with the response over the last two games.” Reece Duffield was the cornerstone of North Footscray’s runaway win over Parkside. The ruckman walked away with best-on-ground honours after giving the Devils first use of the ball and impacting on aerial contests around the ground. “His tap work is second to none and his fitness base for a big bloke is phenomenal,” Miller said. “He gets behind the footy and sits right where you want a ruckman to sit.” Kieran Murphy was back to his crafty best. The wingman was a prolific ball winner and a threat when resting forward, kicking five goals. “He went back to his old bag of tricks and kicked three of his goals from the pocket on his left foot,” Miller said. In a North Footscray side looking for consistency, Caiden Vorano has delivered since locking down a senior berth.

Vorano continues to set the tone for the Devils with his unwavering attack on the football and willingness to work hard defensively. “His pressure and ferocity has probably been number one for us lately,” Miller said. North Footscray remains third on the ladder, two games behind Yarraville-Seddon and Point Cook. It will square off with arch rival West Footscray at Shorten Reserve on Saturday. Elsewhere in division 2, Corey Salvador bagged six goals as Yarraville-Seddon cruised to a 106-point win over West Footscray. The Eagles will face Point Cook at Saltwater Reserve this Saturday. Newport Power had a heartbreaking two-point loss to Manor Lakes. In division 1, Spotswood managed to hold Wyndhamvale goal-less in a 114-point win, while Altona suffered its third loss in four games, going down to Deer Park by 23 points. In division 3, fourth placed Braybrook created a three-game buffer between the top four and the rest by beating a gallant Laverton. Lance Jenkinson

Gators survive a scare By Lance Jenkinson Altona Gators were staring down the barrel of an embarrassing loss to the 0-16 North East Bushrangers before a final quarter blitz secured a come-from-behind 71-65 win in the Big V basketball men’s division 2 at the Altona Sports Centre on Sunday. Trailing by six points at three quarter-time, the Gators went on a 22-10 fourth-quarter run to claim a win that keeps their season alive. Gators coach Des Radoslovic had faith his team would eventually run down the gallant Bushrangers. “We were quietly confident all along,” he said. “The lead never got beyond 10, so it was always fairly close. “I did trust our guys in the fourth quarter that they’d be able to execute and defend very well.” It was a vastly different looking Altona team with young point guard Nathanael Coory out for the remainder of the regular season. Despite his inexperience, teenager Coory was the pulse of the Gators, setting up most of the team’s plays from the point. Coory informed the Gators he would be travelling to the US to play games that will effectively be tryouts for division 1 colleges. Coory’s absence is a big blow for the Gators, but Radoslovic is proud of what Coory had achieved with the team this season and is excited for the youngster to be given the opportunity to show his skills in front of college scouts. “He’s got to think about what’s best for his future,” Radoslovic said. “If we scrape into the finals, he’d be back for that, but he’s out for the last four rounds. “He’s got some division 1 colleges over there that are interested in him. “He’s going to play in an AAU [Amateur Athletic Union] circuit around Atlanta. “All the teams that are looking at him, their coaching staffs are going to be there, so that’s exciting for him.” With Coory gone and back-up point guard Rasmus Wurr still overseas, Altona’s style of play changed dramatically. The Gators had James Al-mourani and Jordan Lino running the point, but with more of an emphasis to move the ball inside the paint and let the bigs go to work. “We had to change our tack a little bit and change our plans,” Radoslovic said. “We really pounded the ball on the inside, slowed it down and really had to defend well. “We got the job done.” The major beneficiary for Altona was Tommy Scott who was a menace, finishing with 25 points, six rebounds and three threes. “We used Tommy in a slightly different role

Newport showed why it holds top spot in the Lacrosse Victoria women’s premier division. The Porters pummelled Eltham 17-2 at P.J. Lynch Reserve on Saturday. Elise Hussey (four goals) and Rachel Kirchheimer (four goals, two assists) were superb for the Porters. In men’s state league, Williamstown was too good for Altona, winning 18-5 at Fearon Reserve. Kade Robinson was in a lethal mood, scoring five goals. Footscray sunk to a 12-11 loss to Camberwell.

Football

Williamstown CYMS remains the dominant side in the Victorian Amateur Football Association Premier C. The CYs maintained their game and percentage break over the rest of the competition with a 49-point win over Peninsula at The Peninsula School on Saturday. Ben Connolly was named best-afield for CYs, while Ben Gray kicked three goals, taking his season tally to 29, which is top five in the competition. In women’s division 2, Williamstown CYMS had a thrilling four-point win over Old Ivanhoe. Kacie Cook kicked three vital goals.

Netball

City West Falcons have some ground to make up on the top four in the Victorian Netball League championship division. The Falcons lost a game against fourth-placed Geelong Cougars 60-48 at the State Netball and Hockey Centre last Wednesday night. It was a closely contested game for the opening three quarters, but the Cougars put the foot down with a 20-11 last quarter. The Falcons will be keen to bounce back with a victory against the Boroondara Express tonight.

because we need to find offence from other avenues and he had a great game,” Radoslovic said. “He got a lot of inside looks and if he didn’t score, he drew a foul. “It was a credit to Lino and Al-mourani to get us into those sets to be able to get him the ball. “They controlled the flow and the tempo, while Tom put the finishing touches to the plays we were running and had a great game.”

Centre James Till had a solid outing for Altona with 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists, while Tyson Burton and James Webster were a handful to contain on the inside. Altona is still in the playoff hunt, three games outside the top six with five games remaining. The Gators have another must-win game against Southern Peninsula Sharks at Altona Sports Centre on Sunday.

The struggle continues for Footscray in the Victorian Rugby Union Dewar Shield. Ten rounds into the season and the Bulldogs are still without a win. The Bulldogs went down 45-19 to Melbourne University at Henry Turner Reserve on Saturday. Siotame Ofahengaue, Shane Tugaga and Stephen Rea scored the Bulldogs’ three tries.

MOTOR Mazda CX-8 fills an Aussie niche By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Mazda Australia has plugged a hole in its SUV lineup by introducing the CX-8 Diesel. Potential buyers of the CX-9 seven-seater had wanted a diesel engine, but it’s only offered with a petrol unit. Sometimes they settled for a CX-9 petrol – but others went to a different marque that could offer a turbo-diesel, which obviously didn’t please Mazda Australia. The CX-8 is sort of a combination of the Mazdas CX-5 and CX-9, sharing the wheelbase of the 9 and the width of the 5. It’s shorter than the CX-9 overall and many components are unique to the CX-8. Interestingly, the CX-8 had only ever been intended for sale on the Japanese market. But Australia is highly regarded by Mazda’s head office, which eventually relented by making the CX-8 available Downunder. Only two grades are being offered – CX-8 Sport priced at $42,490 with two-wheel drive (the front wheels) and $46,490 with all-wheel drive; and CX-8 Asaki for $61,490 with all-wheel drive. Both models are well equipped, with the Asaki having Nappa leather trim, a Premium Bose 10-speaker sound system, advanced keyless entry, a remotely operated power tailgate, adaptive LED headlights, front foglights, a heated steering wheel, and sunshades on the rear door windows. The front seats in the Asaki are power operated, with six-way adjustment for the passenger and 10-way for the driver.

Added safety features on the Asaki are front parking sensors (both models have rear sensors) and a 360-degree camera. This is a good-looking vehicle, with the slick lines almost coupe-like at the rear. But if all seven seats are in use, there’s no space for a large suitcase to be carried upright in the boot. All CX-8s have a seven-inch infotainment screen that’s clear and easy to us. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren’t available at this stage, but are expected to arrive late this year. When that happens, it will be necessary for the system to be upgraded by a Mazda dealer. (Note: That this will apply to most other recent Mazda models; contact your dealer for details.) Power for both CX-8 models is courtesy Mazda’s well-known SkyActiv 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel. It produces up to 140 kW of power and an impressively high 450 Nm of torque, the latter available from 2000 rpm. All CX-8 Diesels have a six-speed automatic transmission.

Safety

Mazda CX-8 has yet to be tested by ANCAP. While not committing themselves at this stage, the Mazda Australian hierarchy appears confident it will receive the maximum five-star rating.

Driving

The CX-8 Diesel is relatively narrow inside and is best regarded as a four plus three – that is four adults and three children. There’s good leg and comfortable head room in all seats.

Mazda set up an excellent 350-plus kilometre drive program on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, running on an inland route from Noosa to Hervey Bay. It covered everything from peak hour (well, peak hour-ish) traffic and suburban roads to motorways and scenic hilly terrain, using sealed and dirt roads. Exactly the sort of running a family in their Mazda CX-8 Diesel would take on a weekend adventure trip. Despite the “Sport” in its name, this Mazda is certainly not a sports SUVR. It has suspension and steering set up in comfort mode. It handles

safely and predictably and you would have to be well over sensible speeds to get into trouble. That said, if you do see yourself as a keen driver you may care to look elsewhere. As is often the way, Australia’s coarse-chip roads create a fair bit of noise. Anywhere else, this is a vehicle that’s peaceful and relaxing to sit in. The turbo-diesel engine is nicely quiet at idle and from the outside is almost to petrol engine standards. Inside, the sound levels are nicely muted.

Response from the diesel is reasonably prompt with a minimum of lag. We found the six-speed automatic transmission to be in the correct gear virtually all the time.

Summing up

Mazda CX-8 diesel is an attractive-looking seven-seat SUV that seems sure to have good sales as it neatly fills gaps in the company’s lineup. You can now get Mazda CX in 3, 5, 8 or 9 format. Which may leave space for a CX-4? Who knows …
