Model citizens The Sunshine Model Railway Club is gearing up for one of its biggest events. The club is set to host its Model Train Expo at Braybrook College Sports Stadium next weekend. Sunshine Model Railway Club treasurer Ted Allan said modelling is a great way to become involved in a community. “We’ve got a loyal group of about 20 members who meet on a weekly basis,” he said. “People come down and talk, have a coffee. It’s a social thing for a lot of the people. “I remember getting my first train at about nine years old. I gave it up in my teens when I discovered girls and cars, but picked it up again in the ’70s. From then I haven’t really looked back.” Mr Allan said it’s not just about the trains. “The scenery certainly takes up the most time. On average a building takes a good 30 to 40 hours to make.” Details: Peter, 9311 8389 Tate Papworth

Ambitious plans for Cozzo site Franco Cozzo’s landmark Footscray site will be transformed into an “employment centre” with a mix of office and retail space topped by residential or hotel accommodation, according to the developer who bought the site. Star Weekly last month revealed that after half a century of selling furniture from his Hopkins Street store, Mr Cozzo had sold his 1088-square-metre premises to developer Pelligra Group.

Pelligra chairman Ross Pelligra said his aim is to use the site to create as many jobs as possible, while also meeting demand for housing or accommodation. “Franco’s store was a jobs incubator when he first started up and we want to try and do something like that,” he said. “We are really excited about the project.” Mr Pelligra said the goal was to bring as many jobs as possible into the area by attracting a range of businesses to the site. “We are also looking at a hotel or apartments,

we’re running a feasibility study on both to see what is going to be most viable,” he said. Mr Pelligra said his planners are working with Maribyrnong council to ensure they can create something suitable for the site that meets planning guidelines, which include a preferred 10-storey cap for the site. “It’s a landmark site and we will respect that, but the number one goal is to create jobs,” he said. “In the next 12 to 15 weeks we will have a full master plan showing what we want to do.”

Here’s cheers to more beers

Altona’s first bar will open its doors early next month. Hopheads has taken up residency inside a former accounting office at 78 Pier Street, selling nearly as many craft beer varieties as there are days of the year. Co-owner and director Ryan Cochrane, a 25-year-old craft beer aficionado, said the set-up would be the same as the first Hopheads in Point Cook. “I was actually born in Altona Meadows and I went to school in Truganina, so I’ve always been around the area and for as long as I’ve known there’s never been a real drinking place,” he said. “I’ve heard as well that there was supposedly

a no-fly zone for bars and pubs, but we asked the question and the council was happy to have us and we thought this is a great place to be. “I started working in craft beer places when I was 18 and I absolutely fell in love with it. It was just something completely different … it is still a trending thing. Craft beer in general is just taking over everywhere – it’s today’s wine.” Mr Cochrane said the focus would be on domestic beer, but there would be many international brews. “Currently in the coldroom we’ve got a Canadian Breakfast Stout from Founders aged in bourbon barrels with some maple syrup added to it and it comes in at around about 12 per cent alcohol,” he said.

“We’re all about an experience of beer so we’re happy to take people on a journey. “If they’re just an everyday lager drinker we’re happy to accommodate to that but at the same time we want to try to push them just to get them a little bit out of their comfort zone.” The venue is licensed for up to 105 patrons, including 50 up front and the rest in two rooms out the back, one of which will have a small lounge feel. No food will be served but people can bring their own take-away or home-cooked food. The venue is expected to open until 9pm Monday to Wednesday and 11pm the rest of the week.

Altona Loop train services resumed on Tuesday, a week ahead of schedule. Werribee line trains on the Altona Loop shut down on June 16 as the level crossing in Kororoit Creek Road, outside the Mobil Altona refinery, was removed. Replacement buses replaced trains in the Altona Loop, transporting commuters who use Seaholme, Altona and Westona stations. During the shutdown, a dual rail bridge was built over Kororoit Creek Road and 800 metres of track was been duplicated between Altona junction and Kororoit Creek to allow trains to pass each other on the Altona Loop. Westona station had been the only place on the Altona Loop where trains could pass each other, but the new partial duplication will provide another passing point and reduce the number of trains forced to bypass the loop. Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan on Monday said Altona Loop commuters could look forward to more reliable journeys. She said congestion in Kororoit Creek Road would be decreased, with vehicles able to pass beneath the rail bridge. “I’d like to thank local commuters for their patience as these important works were undertaken,” Ms Allan said. “That dangerous and congested level crossing is now gone, delivering benefits for those who use both rail and road.” Trains are running to the normal timetable. The Werribee line will have a new metropolitan timetable from August 26 with 35 additional services. A test train travelled through the Altona Loop and over the new rail bridges on Sunday night.

Mr Cozzo, 82, first put the property on the market in 2014, saying it was time to slow down. But despite the sale he has no plan to shut up shop in the near future. Raine & Horne agent Sal Scavo, who handled the sale of the site, said the contract included a three-year settlement. “My understanding is Mr Cozzo will stay the full term of settlement.” Mr Scavo said the sale price was between $6.9 million and $7.6 million.

Mixed bag for property prices By Goya Dmytryshchak

property markets had seen varied fluctuations in the past 12 months. “The area is still accessible for first home buyers, with more modest median house prices in Laverton ($575,000) and Altona Meadows ($660,000),” she said. “Picturesque Williamstown remains home to the most expensive residences in the area, while you’ll need more than $1 million for the average house in Altona, Newport, Kingsville, Maribyrnong and Seddon.

And Williamstown has also seen strong growth, with the median house price going up by 11.2 per cent. “The market for units in the area has also been mixed, with strong growth of 21.2 per cent on the median cost of a unit in Braybook, but a reduction in the median price for other areas such as Maidstone and Newport.” Braybrook’s median unit price rose from $500,000 to $606,000, while the price fell from $675,000 to $535,000 in Maidstone and fell seven per cent, from $760,000 to

REIV president Richard Simpson said auction clearance rates had fallen from the lofty highs of early 2017. “Negative chatter about the future of the sector, coupled with stronger lending controls by financial institutions, has created some uncertainty and vendors need to be realistic with their price expectations,” he said.

A study in education By Benjamin Millar

NEWS

Start-up plan for cafe spaces

The future of secondary schooling in and around Footscray is taking shape with the unveiling of the first designs for the Footscray Learning Precinct. The centre piece of the project is a new junior high school campus to be built in Seddon for years 7 to 9, due to open in 2021. Gilmore College for Girls on Barkly Street will become co-education from 2020 and Footscray City College will transition to a senior campus for years 10 to 12. Star Weekly reported in April that the state government was allocating almost $30 million towards funding the project in this year’s budget. The funding is going towards constructing the Seddon junior secondary campus, early works at Gilmore College for Girls and Footscray City Primary School, including a new integrated early learning centre next to the school. However, students and parents at Footscray City College have criticised the lack of funding for works at the senior campus in the current budget. The vision for the precinct has been shaped by committees made up of principals, education experts and community members. A 2017 feasibility report noted the learning precinct will address under utilisation of existing education facilities and provide extra capacity to support projected population growth. Victoria University and Maribyrnong council are partnering in the precinct development.

Cafes at Williamstown library and Laverton Community Hub will be converted into co-working spaces by Hobsons Bay council. The Wyndham Community and Education Centre had operated Saffron Kitchen out of the Laverton site, providing volunteer opportunities for local residents including people with a disability, experiencing mental health issues, from new and emerging communities and the unemployed. The Williamtown library cafe had been leased to Michael Walls, who operated a licensed venue called Chapter 1 Cafe. He took over after Yooralla closed its UCAN Cafe in 2015. An officer’s report to the council, which owns the buildings, says the cafes had “not proven to be commercially viable under a number of for-profit and not-for-profit models and different providers”. “At both Williamstown and the Laverton Community Hub cafes, leaseholders have previously been granted rent-relief periods to assist with establishment and ongoing viability to no avail,” the report states. The co-working spaces will support start-up activities and small business support services, and will also be used as community meeting spaces. At Altona North library, the UrCommunity charity is in its second year of operating the Healthy Food Hub.

A recipe for learning A Braybrook computer class has taken a byte out of learning. Noticing participants in the weekly intermediate computer class at Braybrook Community Hub bonding over home-cooked food brought to share for morning tea, tutor Jason decided the cookbook project was the perfect way to make their lessons more meaningful. “It seemed the natural path to take,” he said. “Why not combine the process of making a cookbook together into a computer-based project?” Each student was tasked with cooking a meal that represented their background, photographing it and writing up the recipe. They then worked together to design and

produce the book, applying the computer skills they had picked up throughout the course. From empanadas and pork adobo to turron and rocky road, the cookbook features a range of sweet and savoury dishes. Participant Prelene, who shared recipes for stir fry noodles and leche flan (a Filipino version of crème caramel), said the course was a great way to learn skills and meet new people. “Studying has helped me improve myself and my confidence in using the computer, I just want to keep learning more,” she said. The cookbook can be bought at Braybrook Community Hub for $12, all proceeds going towards a new creative educational program. Benjamin Millar

Car crash scam ends in jail time By Goya Dmytryshchak A Truganina man has been sentenced to two years and four months jail for staging car crashes in Laverton and other suburbs for insurance money. Kobe Lauren, 36, pleaded guilty in the County Court to charges including obtaining financial advantage by deception, making a false report to police and committing an indictable offence on bail. His modus operandi was to buy a luxury car, insure it for far more than market value, and then stage collisions for the pay out.

The court heard that in March 2012, Lauren bought a 2006 Mercedes and insured it with Allianz for an agreed value of $51,838, which was $15,000-$25,000 over the car’s market value. He concocted a fictitious crash with a co-offender pretending to be the other driver and was paid out $51,288. A year later, Lauren’s partner bought a Lexus and it was insured with Real Insurance. In November 2013, Lauren reported that the Lexus had been involved in a collision and that he had been the other driver. That claim was rejected. In May 2014, Lauren reported a supposed

collision in Laverton in which a BMW bought by a co-offender was written off. It had been insured with AAMI for an agreed value of $70,460, which was between 30,000 and $40,000 over market value. Lauren received about $70,000. In January 2015, Lauren bought a 2008 Mercedes for $60,000, which he insured online with AAMI for an agreed value of $115,848, almost double its purchase price, before staging a collision. The court heard Lauren had been a talented basketballer and lived in the US for about 18 months trying to secure a college basketball

scholarship after leaving Maribyrnong College. He started studying business administration at Swinburne TAFE when he returned home, but left the course to buy a taxi licence and start his own business, which he had until 2013. Judge Claire Quin told the court Lauren’s motivation for offending was debt-related. “I was informed that you received some, though not the total amount of financial gain, and that funds you obtained were spent for your own personal purposes.” She sentenced Lauren to 28 months imprisonment with a non-parole period of 17 months.

A top vehicle for youth Young people looking for careers in the automotive industry have a new pathway to success. Concern Australia’s Hand Brake Turn program, which acts as a stepping stone into the industry, is returning to Brimbank. Concern Australia communications manager Jo Thitchener said the move was a concerted effort to reconnect with the west. “We were based in Brimbank a few years ago, but moved away,” she said. “We know this is an area of large disadvantage and unemployment and really want to reconnect with the area and offer people some more opportunities.” The course runs for seven weeks and offers a flexible learning environment. “It’s a bit of a taster program,” Ms Thitchener said. “It runs from Tuesday through Thursday each week, which gives young people the

opportunity to get work experience on the other days.” Ms Thitchener said the program was a proven winner. “We have clients referred to us from the Department of Justice and the Department of Human Services, so we’re flexible and like to make it open and available for anyone who can come along,” she said. “We’ve been running 20 years and had nearly 10,000 students come through our ranks, many of whom have gone on to become successful in the automotive industry. “It’s really made a difference to a lot of lives – one former student said, ‘I’ve gone from stealing cars to fixing them’.” For more details visit: concernaustralia.org. au/hand-brake-turn/ Tate Papworth Concern Australia’s Jo Thitchener with workshop co-ordinator Yahye Ali.

True gentleman celebrated By Alesha Capone Hugh Vallance still does a crossword every day and believes there are “a few secrets” to living to the age of 100. “I reckon having a good wholesome breakfast is important,” he said. “[And] I’d say to keep off smoking and drinking, neither of which I do.” As the resident at Glendale Aged Care in Werribee prepared to celebrate his milestone birthday on Friday, he reflected on a life of music, sport and family. Born on July 29, 1918, in Elsternwick, Hugh Alexander Vallance moved to the west with his family when his father and grandfather bought Hansen’s Garage in Williamstown in 1926. “Williamstown’s changed since we first moved there, I don’t know if for the better,” he said. “They’re knocking down all the old houses and putting two houses in their place.” He recalls growing up surrounded by a musical family. His father played bassoon in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, his mother was a pianist, his aunt a singer and his brother and sister also played instruments. Mr Vallance learned to play the piano and organ and became an organist with the Freemasons in 1956 – playing at some 3300 lodge meetings across 57 years. He also spent 14 years volunteering as a pianist for the Williamstown Community Singers and a Newport senior citizens group. He married Joan in 1942 while he was serving in the army during World War II where he was posted to the 2nd Cavalry Division Army Service Corps, before being transferred to 120th Motor Transport Unit and the 146th Motor Transport Unit. Together, they had a son Daryl, four

grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Joan passed away in 2001. Before and after his time in the army, Mr Vallance worked for the Commonwealth Oil Refinery, which later became BP Australia, and represented the company’s head office in mixed doubles at its annual tennis tournament. He said sport had played a big part of his life – he is a life member of the Power Street Tennis Club in Williamstown, where he

served as president for a decade, and he also played cricket for the North Williamstown Presbyterian Church. Mr Vallance will celebrate his 100th birthday with friends and family at his daughter-in-law Carole Crane’s home on Sunday. Mrs Crane, whom calls Mr Vallance “Pa”, described him as “a gentleman”. “I’ve never heard Pa say a bad word about anybody,” she said.

State Trustees investigated The state government watchdog has launched an investigation into whether the State Trustees is adequately fulfilling its duties towards some of the state’s most vulnerable people. Victorian Ombudsman Deborah Glass said her investigation had been prompted by “a sustained increase in complaints” to her office about the Footscray-based organisation. The state government-owned company administers legal and financial matters for about 11,000 Victorians unable to fully manage their own affairs due to mental illness, injury or disability. The Ombudsman has received more than 200 complaints in four of the past five years about State Trustees, which manages more than $1 billion of assets on behalf of its clients. Complaints rose by 37 per cent in the year to June, 2017, and have remained at the same high level. Ms Glass has identified possible systemic issues within State Trustees, including a failure to adequately consult with people about decisions or take their wishes into account. “Many of the people who rely on State Trustees are vulnerable, and I want to ensure their rights are respected and protected,” she said. A State Trustees spokeswoman said the organisation was working with the Ombudsman to provide all information required for the investigation. Benjamin Millar

Take-off for airport rail link By Benjamin Millar Work on a direct rail link connecting Footscray with Melbourne Airport could begin by 2022 after the state government committed $5 billion towards the project if re-elected. Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Sunday that Labor would match a $5 billion commitment from the federal government to push ahead with the long-awaited rail link. After decades of talk, the project looks like becoming reality after Opposition Leader Matthew Guy also confirmed support for the airport rail link. The state government had been considering four options for the route, three of which passed through Footscray and including one option that took in Highpoint shopping centre and the Maribyrnong Defence site. Mr Andrews announced it would be pushing ahead with the Sunshine alignment, which would see trains travel to the airport from the CBD via Footscray and a new Sunshine “super hub” connecting regional and metro train lines to the airport link. “This project has been talked about for too long,” he said. “It’s time to get on and build it.” The project is expected to cost between $8 billion and $13 billion, with further funding to be sought from the private sector. Rail Projects Victoria is working on a full business case, due to be completed by next year. Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said the Sunshine route would open up the airport to more people and pave the way for fast rail to Geelong and Ballarat.

Maribyrnong mayor Cuc Lam said the council has been advocating strongly for the rail link and was pleased to see it closer to being realised. “This is a great outcome for the west, and recognises the significant growth forecast for this area,” she said. “Whilst Maribyrnong City Council’s preferred route would include transport links to northern Maribyrnong … council will work with the state government on their preferred Sunshine route.”

MY PLACE Long-time Brooklyn resident Harry Downs had to pay for an electricity pole when he built the house he still lives in. As he prepares to celebrate his 90th birthday on July 31, he speaks with Goya Dmytryshchak about some of the changes he has seen. I bought this block of land. I paid 150 pound for it and I paid it off 10 shillings a week. I worked at Weston and Murray abattoirs. When I started at the meat works, I was 13. Why did you settle in Brooklyn? When I was working at the Weston and Murray, it was a two-storey place with louvre windows in the freezer part and I used to look through the louvres and look across here and this was just one big bald hill. It was called Quayle’s Hill. They used to have a riding school. And I used to look through the windows and thought, I wouldn’t mind living over there. I used to have a motorbike and sidecar and I used to just ride around looking, and I thought, this looks all right. I just went from there. I bought the land from Dawson and Condie in Footscray. Ten bob a week. My wages was a pound and six pence a week. So, I bought the land and I suppose I spent two years paying it off. Borthwicks and Gilbertsons used to bring their stock up from Newmarket, used to drive it up Geelong Road and bring them over here. You had to install the telegraph pole for electricity when you built your home? They said to me, if you want the electricity on, you have to have a 4x4 pole, strutted four ways, four foot in the ground, 14 feet out of the ground and we’ll put the power on for you. Well, I had to dig that out myself. I’ll tell you about the water. We used to have

a 44-gallon drum with a tap on it. My wife used to do the washing, everything, out of that. I had to go into the Board of Works and tell them what I wanted and they said, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I pulled a few strings and they said if you want to put the line in, we’ll connect it to the main. So, I had to do all the digging … 2100 feet. I can remember because it burnt a hole in me. I did it when the Queen was here in 1954 and I had to stop with a flag to let the Queen go past before I could get on with the work. What don’t you like about Brooklyn? All the old houses are getting pulled down and flats are getting built. Parking is a big problem. I’ve got a car and they have to be up the driveway – you can’t leave them in the street. Do you have a favourite cafe or restaurant? Yes, it’s in Williamstown. The Lion Dance. My granddaughter, they had their wedding reception in that Chinese restaurant, and I’ve known them for 30-40 years. He’s a very friendly man. What was the Brooklyn area like, growing up? No larrikins. A lot of smells from the meat works and the skin stores. You could cut slices from the air. And the dust.

Engineer Jurij Semkiw and Dr Peter Thorne with Australiaâ€™s oldest computer. (Damjan Janevski)

The science adds up Australiaâ€™s oldest computer and the worldâ€™s fourth-oldest is back on display at Scienceworks. The 2500-kilogram computer known as CSIRAC (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation Automatic Computer) takes up half a shipping container. Designed and constructed by a team led by Trevor Pearcey of Monash University, CSIRAC was built at the Radiophysics Laboratory in Sydney and ran its first program in 1949. It was shut down in 1964. Now, it is back for the Think Ahead exhibition. Scienceworksâ€™ Jonathan Shearer said CSIRAC was one of the most significant objects in Museums Victoriaâ€™s collection. â€œThis room-filling machine is the technological ancestor of your phone or laptop, but was nowhere near as powerful and

definitely couldnâ€™t fit in your pocket,â€? Mr Shearer said. It was so energy-hungry that occasionally someone plugging in an electric jug nearby would overload the power system and wipe the dayâ€™s work. Demand for CSIRAC had been so great that people often had to wait weeks to gain access. Former head of Melbourne Universityâ€™s computer science department, Dr Peter Thorne worked with CSIRAC as weekend computer technician in the early 1960s. â€œCSIRAC is now recognised internationally as the only survivor of the handful of machines that launched the modern digital age and as the first computer to play music,â€? Dr Thorne said. Goya Dmytryshchak

A whole world approach to learning C

Girls are valued and given focused direction

(Picture: Peter Casamento)

ommitted to girls’ education, Academy of Mary Immaculate has a strong belief in the future roles young women will play in Australia and the world. For more than 161 years, the closest college to Melbourne CBD has fostered in each student an appreciation and respect for the holistic environment – from local urban to global possibilities. The college’s principal, Sister Mary Moloney, rsm, says the process begins at the start of the secondary schooling journey. “Our structured Year 7 immersion program builds a sense of belonging while supporting students to take control of their learning,” Sr Mary says. “The program includes orientation day, house sports, big sister/little sister program, and the Year 7 Camp. “Our size contributes to building a community of lasting friendships and peer support, and where girls are valued and given focused direction along their academic journey.” Across all year levels, the curriculum challenges and supports academic ability and personal learning goals. In particular, the Year 9 cross-curricular program, Synergy, focuses on “Melbourne as a global community”. Synergy allows students to discover what motivates them, to critically think about the problems they encounter and to create sustainable actions for positive change. The college’s wide range of co-curricula subjects complements and extends the core curriculum. Subjects include performing

arts, visual arts and extension and enrichment programs, as well as leadership development. The sports program – which includes inter-house and inter-school athletics and indoor/outdoor team sports – promotes a culture of participation while enabling talented students to compete at the highest level. Through close connections with Melbourne’s premiere learning and cultural centres, classes are conducted

at Melbourne Museum, NGV and ACMI, enriching social and cultural awareness. Academy girls connect with the global community through visits to sister schools in Italy, Japan, and now France. “These tours give Academy girls a chance to actively engage with a living culture, as well as an opportunity to discover their identity as young Australian women seeking to shape the world,” Sr Mary continues. “As the ‘City School for Girls’, our college sits

on the crossroads of where education meets the real world. “In a rapidly changing technological world, our educational approach continues to evolve, as it does in everyday life, and we remain excited by its potential and the contributions Academy girls can make.” Academy of Mary Immaculate, 88 Nicholson Street, Fitzroy. Inquiries: 9412 7154 or visit academy.vic.edu.au

DISCOVER OPPORTUNITY Academy graduates have successfully auditioned for and/or accepted into; NIDA, VCA Visual Arts, VCA Performing Arts (Theatre), Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. Academic achievement, creativity and social justice are at the heart of a student’s experience at the Academy.

Altona club bowls ’em over A

ltona Bowling Club has come a long way since its beginnings in 1958 when its home was an army hut. These days it has three greens for its 150 playing members, while 1500 social members help make the bistro the go-to spot for lunch and dinner. And then there’s the many visitors who have switched on to this vibrant community hub … Club manager Samantha Mitchell says the club is being steadily revamped so the food and entertainment combine to make it as welcoming and friendly as possible.

The bistro now has a new menu

“The bistro now has a new menu, featuring all the favourites – steaks, burgers, pasta and parma, as well as pizza,” Samantha says. “Between 3pm and 6pm each Sunday is a great time to grab a pizza and listen to a top band. It’s a time the whole family can enjoy together.” Thursday is the day for pot ’n’ parma, Friday is about steak and seafood and on Monday selected meals are half price. Food and entertainment aside, the club is home to successful bowlers.

Let the family law experts guide you W

hen someone is contemplating or going through a separation or divorce, or wanting to get things in order prior to entering a relationship, it makes sense to choose a law firm with specialised knowledge. This is where Berry Family Law stands out. It is dedicated to family law, with a dozen lawyers including seven accredited family law specialists on board, supported by a highly skilled and dedicated paralegal team. As managing partner James Turnbull puts it: “We do one thing only – family law – and we think we do it quite well. “Family lawyers are a different breed of lawyers.

Our voice is a consistently friendly one “We are expert listeners because each case is unique and have a deep understanding of what people go through during a difficult patch in their lives. “It’s what we do every day – helping people, offering empathy and guiding them pragmatically through turmoil into calm. “We never lose sight of the fact we’re dealing with real people with real issues – issues that can have an impact on a diverse range of relationship, lifestyle, and financial aspects of life. “Our voice is a consistently friendly one.” He says that as family law becomes ever more complex, it is even more important to get help from a team that keeps abreast of

changes and movements in the field. “The daily exposure of each of the lawyers in the firm and our team approach means that we know the style of each of the judges, we know the best barristers for a case,” he says. “We also know valuers, accountants, counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists who are the best fit for a client and their case.

“These connections are invaluable for our clients, who we can steer through what can seem a confusing maze.” Berry Family Law started in Williamstown many years ago. The Ferguson Street office is marked by its white picket fence lined with roses, perhaps a foretaste of the calming atmosphere found behind the door. A second office has been established in

the city, right next door to the Family Court, providing clients a choice of where they want to “do business”.

Make this your new mantra M

antra Studio, Kitchen and Bar is unique in Melbourne. Where else can you find a music venue, a recording studio, private dining room, pool table and a cafe/restaurant with a menu focused on pan-Asian influences under one roof? Owners and creative music minds Patsy Toop and David Baird conceived the idea two years ago with the intention of giving musos a place to showcase their talents

It’s a melting pot of creative food and live music while people kick back and relax as they enjoy great meals and great coffee. “Mantra has become a destination venue,” Patsy says. “It’s a melting pot of creative food and live music, and there’s even a recording studio for hire. Musos can book in for a session to lay down tracks or they can perform for enthusiastic diners. “Our venue spans two floors, with the top floor all about the studio, as well as a pool table for the ultimate in relaxed, communal vibe. The ground floor has a large bar, plus a sprawling light-filled dining area with tables spilling out on to the street.” The fit-out fuses industrial edginess with clean contemporary lines, greenery adds texture and imported doors and fittings open the space enhancing the natural light and exposed beams. The Yarraville stage is set and menus cover breakfast, lunch and dinner. Brekkie gets cosy with dishes from smashed avo,

A blueprint for a brighter future N

umber 12 in a long line of principals since Geelong College’s establishment in 1861, Dr Peter Miller, who has headed up the school for nearly two years now, believes the college is a special place. He says it has played a role in the development of thousands of students and their families for the past 157 years. “We aim to inspire students to learn how to learn, to flourish, be innovative and aspire to futures that harness their many skills and abilities,” Dr Miller says. “But it’s not just the students who are learning; staff and parents also seek challenges and development here at college. “Our students learn to be respectful and courageous as they develop academic, emotional, physical, social and spiritual potential and prepare to be positive contributors to society through a broad range of learning experiences.” The Uniting Church day and boarding college has been coeducational since 1974, and is passionate about non-segregation. “Coeducation allows young men and women to learn how to learn and live together in a respectful environment. The real world is not segregated and, in coeducational schools, girls and boys work collaboratively, exchange ideas, learn from each other and develop greater understanding of self and others. “We seek to prepare students to be leaders who are able to connect the Christian faith, their personal spirituality and their planned contribution to our world.

The real world is not segregated... While we are a Christian school, Geelong College upholds the values of freedom and choice by respecting the rights of all people to live by other faith traditions.” The school, which began with just 62 students, now has 1400 students aged between three and 18, 100 of whom are boarders. It has two campuses in central Geelong, with strong links with coastal and rural areas.

The middle school (years 4-8) was revamped in 2012 and now, in response to demand, the junior school (early learning-year 3) is receiving a significant redevelopment. Dr Miller believes the school has a blueprint for shaping an exciting and productive future. “Our Vision for Learning establishes seven key learning dimensions: Identity, Creativity,

Venerable Yarraville pub is all grow A

s the food centrepiece of a special occasion, how good does a whole suckling pig for up to 12 people sound? One can be yours – as long as the revamped Victoria Hotel in Yarraville is given 48 hours’ notice. This is just one aspect of how things have changed at a pub that’s been around since the 1800s, albeit under different names and ownerships.

It’s all about making our customers feel welcome It’s been under the helm of Annette Murduca for the past three months and she hasn’t wasted time putting her stamp on the place. “We have designed several distinctive areas for our visitors,” Annette explains. “Our dining room, the recipient of a Scandi-style makeover, can seat 140 people on a choice of comfy banquettes or at tables with chairs in the Eames style. “Our expansive menu is all-new, too, with takeaway pizza available for those on the go. Our $15 express lunch with pot of Carlton Draught or soft drink is good value, and we run nightly menu specials. “We have wine on tap at great prices, as well as a good selection of craft beers.” The main bar, with communal tables and large TV screens, is the spot to catch the footy or get together with friends for a game of pool. There’s two tables. Another spot for sports fans is the sports bar, which stays true to its working class

roots, with sports events telecast year round and hungry punters able to tuck into a pub meal. A quieter area of the hotel is the Hyde and Seek Lounge, where a big street-facing window and warm timber on walls add ambience. Comfy, squashy couches are ready for sinking into, perhaps with a coffee or cocktail in hand.

How about the kids? Yes, there’s a soft playground for them – and it doubles as a birthday venue. As a mother of two children, Annette understands how important it is to have a kids area to allow parents to relax and enjoy themselves knowing the kids are happily entertained. Special occasions, from business meeting to anniversaries, are well catered for, with

that designated space getting an upgrade. As Annette puts it: “There’s not much we can’t turn our hands to. It’s all about making our customers feel welcome and well looked after.” Victoria Hotel, 188 Hyde Street, Yarraville. Opens daily 11am-late. Inquiries: 9362 0843 or thevichotelyarraville.com.au

The Victoria Hotel has been an iconic pub in the heart of Yarraville since the 1800s, you may know it as The Vic on Hyde or the Hyde Street Hotel. The Victoria Hotel has now reopened its doors under new management to unveil a new menu with its updated kitchen and new refurbishments throughout. Whether you are looking for a casual drink with friends, a business meeting, a casual dining experience or planning a party we have it all.

Snug as a bug in a pair of Uggs T

here’s nothing more Australian than Ugg boots – they are Aussie icons of the highest order. Forget the copies, though– it’s only UGG Australia that can rightly claim to be the only company in the world that creates a 100 per cent Australian-made product. Company owners Luda and Roman Fishman moved UGG Australia from Brunswick three months ago and have set up shop in Laverton North. Now’s a good time to visit the new shop because if customers mention this story, they’ll get 20 per cent off all products. Aside from that, the company is quite special. Luda explains … “We’re the only Ugg boot manufacturer in Australia who owns our own tannery,” she says. “This means that all our raw materials are from Australia and nothing is imported – unlike other Ugg manufacturers, who falsely claim to be 100 per cent Aussie made. “This means benefits for our country. We buy our materials from Australian industries, such as farming, which supports local economies. And because we must adhere to the safest environmental standards in the world, we use no dangerous chemicals that cheap overseas products can.” The company, which has been in operation for 37 years, is probably best known for its various styles of Ugg boots and slippers. But, employing between 60 and 100 people, it also manufactures a range of other goodies.

... nothing is imported

Lambswool rugs are perfect for baby nursery mats and as pram and cot liners. For the ultimate in luxury, there’s fox fur throws – big enough for a king bed. Something smaller, perhaps as a gift? How about a purse, pouch, hat or mittens? Cute, soft and fluffy Australiana toys are

made to be loved by any child – and also make a great gift for overseas visitors. For cold feet, there’s nothing warmer than a pair of fox fur Ugg boots. And for a bit of bling style, how about merino wool Ugg boots with three large Swarovski crystal buttons down the side?

Altona focus on eyecare excellence L

iz Muller, who sees a lot of children at her Altona eyecare clinic, says the looks on the faces of young kids getting glasses are priceless and profoundly rewarding. “Recently, we saw a two-year-old child who wanted nothing to do with trying on frames,” Liz says. “But when her glasses arrived with the prescription lenses, we could hardly get them off her to make a quick adjustment. “She loved them – she looked around like it was a whole new world.” Liz, owner of Eyecare Plus Altona, says she had her own pre-schooler experience of having a turned eye, the positive outcome of which was an interest in helping people with vision problems that planted the seed for her future career. Eyecare Plus Altona has recently combined forces with Altona Optical after Paul Wilsmore retired his 40 years of service. You will still see the familiar faces of the optical dispenser Suzi and optometrist Caroline, who with Liz and the rest of the team, have years of experience. Liz says they are able to really take the time to develop great relationships with their clients; time to listen and work through vision and eye issues. There is also now a dedicated dry eye clinic, using new evidence -based technology known as the E-eye IPL. “Dry eyes have become an increasingly prevalent problem plaguing people for many years, previously treated mainly with drops, explains Liz. “Only recently has new technology come about that has been shown

She loved them – she looked around like it was a whole new world

to significantly improve eye comfort. We have invested in the E-eye IPL technology at our dry eye clinic so that treatment was easily accessible in the Western suburbs.” Another string to the clinic’s bow is behavioural optometry, which places emphasis on the causes of vision conditions, rather than just compensating for problems. “We offer vision therapy to remediate difficulties with binocular vision, eye turns and lazy eyes, as well as other conditions that may impact on learning,” Liz says.

“We use the latest technology, including 3D and virtual reality, to help people with their vision development. “Vision problems may impact on learning development when attention is given to keeping the visual system working rather than to the task at hand. “Children and adults who undertake therapy programs often find other skills improve, such as sports and ball skills, as well as concentration and confidence.” Liz describes her family-owned clinic as “locals treating locals”.

“We now have optometry services at two Altona sites,” she says. “We offer a complete service that includes screening for macula degeneration, glaucoma, diabetes and cataracts, sports and safety eyewear, behavioural optometry, vision therapy, and dry eye clinic.” Eyecare Plus Altona, 90 Railway Street South, Altona; and 63 Pier Street, Altona.

Moving on to the next chapter “A lot of other residents say it was the best move they ever made and only wish they made it sooner.” While Amarco Apartments offers a thriving community and safe environment, the transparency regarding costs and contracts also provides peace of mind to residents.

Neither [dad] nor I felt that aged care would be suitable The simple contracts eliminate confusion around terms and meanings. The contracts are governed by the Retirement Villages Act and all ingoing contribution, service and exit fees are outlined. Amarco offers all apartments on a 99-year lease basis, not a freehold. Essentially, it gives residents the same rights as a freehold title does, with added financial benefits – for example, no stamp duty. As well, 100 per cent of any capital gain is retained. There are two cooling off periods during the contract exchange process, so there is no pressure to sign quickly. Amarco encourages all prospective buyers to have their own solicitor review the contracts before signing.

an Stainsby’s father, John, moved into Amarco Apartments in July 2016. Since then, John’s life has changed dramatically and Dan knows his father is safe, connected and content. John previously lived in Maribyrnong. His father bought the house in 1944 and it was treasured by the Stainsbys for three generations. As with many older people, John found himself living alone and managing the large family home and garden became difficult. “The house had become more of a burden than a blessing, but neither he nor I felt that aged care would be suitable for him,” Dan says. “We were really rapt to find the Amarco option. It meant he was able to keep his independence without the burden of managing a three-bedroom house and garden.” Letting go of the family home and moving to an apartment was a big change for John. But taking the plunge has opened up many new opportunities and allowed him to start a “great new chapter in his life”. “I think he’s been able to get involved with the community at Amarco and benefits from that engagement every day,” Dan says. “They go for dinners regularly and meet for fish and chips weekly. There are activities, and people look out for each other there.

Get your fireplace glow on this winter W

The best place in the west to get the very best in gas fireplace technology, Victorian Fireplaces is located in Hoppers Crossing and has a huge range of fireplaces ranging from ultra-modern to country styles, with a model for every budget.

We have it down to a fine art. We have the trades people and know-how to manage the entire project … and we have our own install team Samantha, the showroom manager, says the business has been consistently busy since the new showroom opened last year. “After 15 years, we have it down to a fine art,” she says. “We’re a great option for those who have always wanted a gas fireplace or have wanted to modernise an existing one yet don’t know where to start as we do everything. “We have the trades people and know-how to manage the entire project.

Victorian Fireplaces showroom – which opened last year – on Elm Park Drive. “From there what usually happens is we get an idea about the room where you want to install it and discuss what models will suit best with regards to heat-per-metre, size and style. “Christian will then organise an installation quote. “Following that, after having seen the

property and the room, a final quote is created that takes into account things such as whether a surround needs to be built. And then we get busy installing it.” Fireplaces offer more than warmth – they deliver a cosy ambience and contemporary flair to any room and create a feeling of home, even in the most contemporary and modern of spaces. “Come in today and check out our

Designed with a modern lifestyle in mind, this property is defined by its large open-plan living area. The kitchen has stone benches, soft-closing white cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. All bathrooms have stone benchtops and matching built-in storage. The main bathroom has a large free-standing bath that takes centre-stage. With four bedrooms, one downstairs on entry and three upstairs, this is a great property for a large family. The carpeting is a pale wool-style rough pile. All bedrooms have built-in robes, including the main with a walk-in robe and an en suite. Upstairs there’s also a retreat space. The low-maintenance north-facing backyard is fantastic, as is the alfresco area and double garage on title.

A good entry into Newport, this three-bedroom property offers updated spaces within, including the lounge room with restored hardwood floors, neat and tidy bedrooms and a partially updated bathroom. The kitchen and meals area is large, with older-style cabinetry retained and set against new tile splashback as well as a recently installed 900mm stainless-steel oven. This property has its own street frontage, a great courtyard out the back and a double garage at the rear of the property accessed via a shared drive.

Property of the week

WILLIAMSTOWN 15 Anzac Crescent, 3016 Gunn&Co Estate Agents: 9397 5555

Price: $1.4 million – $1.45 million

When this townhouse was built, its interior architectural style was ahead of its time and as a result the interiors still look sharp and welcoming. The only update to this family-friendly property has been plantation shutters installed on all windows, which elevate the style level. This generous property is in an established part of Williamstown, popular thanks to its close proximity to Williamstown Beach train station, the beach and schools.

Private sale

Set on only one of two crescents off Bayview Street, a fantastic community feel is to be enjoyed in this safe, super quiet and meandering location. Open the front door and you are welcomed by the first living zone, a large lounge area with hardwood floors and a split-system. Its north-facing orientation means it captures plenty of winter sun. Double doors in the open-plan kitchen, meals and second living are open to a fully decked backyard with a brick feature wall. It’s a fantastic entertaining space that is

fabulously low-maintenance. Also on this level are a powder room and the laundry. Back inside, the kitchen has granite benches, pale timber cabinetry and a stainless-steel splashback. Stainless-steel appliances look smart and there is loads of storage. Up the stairs, with a stylish glass balustrade, there are three bedrooms and the main bathroom. All bedrooms have hardy bamboo-board flooring and built-in robes. The main bedroom has a contemporary

en suite with a corner spa and a generously proportioned walk-in robe. There’s gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling as well as split-systems dotted around the house offering comfort for all seasons. High ceilings add to the spacious feel. The single garage has rear and internal access and the rear door leads to the decked side yard offering another option for entertaining.

SPORT Gators earn place among nation’s best

Altona Gators young gun Amy O’Hara high fives with her Vic Metro teammates. (Basketball Victoria)

Now the Gators are on the national stage, he sees no reason why they cannot cause a shock in Shepparton. “There’s no expectations on our side from where they finish,” he said. “They can go in and be as good as they want to be.” Irrespective of where Altona finishes the

tournament, the players will undoubtedly grow as a unit. “Those relationships that you develop from it will probably be the thing we take from it most,” Shanklin said. Meanwhile, one of Altona’s most promising juniors, centre Amy O’Hara, featured in Vic Metro’s triumphant under 16 national championship-winning team. Being a bottom-age player, O’Hara’s minutes were limited, but she could get a chance to be a key player next season. “She’s definitely up and coming for us,” Shanklin said. “She’s improved heaps in a small amount of time. I’m sure the education she would’ve got from that national tournament would’ve been a steep one and a quick one. “She works hard, she’s a good kid and I see a bright future for her.” Lance Jenkinson

Defender on the radar By Lance Jenkinson Western Jets defender Buku Khamis heeded the message of Vic Metro coach Marty Allison at the AFL Under 18 National Championships. “He just wanted every player to back themselves, just go for it and not hold back,” Khamis said. “The main message he told us was to try and make our teammates better players.” Khamis delivered on both of Allison’s expectations. The 18-year-old earned the much coveted All Australian honours as a result. “I’m pretty honoured to be named in the team,” he said. “I was a bit shocked, but I wasn’t thinking about it too much. “I was just thinking about going there and playing, that’s all.” Khamis was outstanding in defence for Vic Metro. The St Albans product’s reading of the play was spot on, he was rarely beaten in one-on-one battles and he detonated many an opposition forward thrust with his courage and athleticism in the air. He showed his value as a two-way player, barely putting a foot wrong in his transition of the ball out of the defensive 50 and his ball use was brave, which is exactly what Allison asked of his players. “I’m happy with the way I set up and attacked,” Khamis said. “Confidence is a big thing with me, so I just back myself and try and go for it.” Khamis, who is in year 12 at Maribyrnong College, was primed for a big national championships. His form for the Jets in the TAC Cup lead-up games was impressive and he carried it through to his Vic Metro matches. Khamis is likely on the radar of AFL recruiters after his rise in 2018. Born in South Sudan and arriving in Australia at the age of six, Khamis has been part of the Western Bulldogs next generation academy. Much like the father-son rule, the Bulldogs can nominate Khamis in the draft and force other teams to put a bid in, which they can match. Khamis was also part of the AFL Academy, which not only helped him as a footballer, but also as a person. “That was pretty cool being a part of that,” Khamis said. “The biggest thing out of that would be the off-field, developing me into a better person, as well as a better player.” Khamis is “thankful” for the time and effort put into his development by the Western Jets and Western Region Football League club St 52 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 25, 2018

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Those who have discovered the Merv Hughes fishing podcast on mypodcasthouse.com will know the great man has been in a world of pain since ripping his bicep muscle off the bone in a recent fishing mishap. As Hughes emerged from the watery bay, having been unceremoniously cast overboard, he noticed a bit of pain in his upper left arm. Surgeons have now repaired the problem and the prognosis is good, but he is down to one arm for a few weeks as he works through a cast, a brace and a sling, before some serious rehab. Merv is keeping a smile on his face and will be a guest in his capacity as number one ticket holder at Werribee Football Club on August 25. ■ The Butcher of Braybrook has made quite an impression in his first year in local footy. Jason Hamilton took on one of suburban football’s most challenging jobs when he became senior coach of Braybrook Football Club this year. The Brookers have done it all in recent years – from premierships to nearly closing the doors, again. The butcher reference is because Jason works for Hagens Organic Butchers in the Queen Vic Market. The Brookers scored a massive win last week, knocking over the highly fancied ladder-leaders Wyndham Suns on their home ground. ■ Hoppers Crossing Bowls Club is holding a mixed sports night to raise funds for Reclink on Thursday, August 16 at the Hoppers Club in Panham Drive. The guest speakers are Simon Madden and Mark Eustice. They have become a hit on the talk circuit and combine good fun with a very confronting message. Mark lost his way in life in a sea of drugs, booze and mental health issues but is now out the other side and enjoying sharing his story. Simon is a champion bloke and what a great footballer he was. Bookings: 9749 4844 or reception@ hoppersclub.com.au ■ James Podsiadly returned to Avalon Airport Oval last Sunday as a past champion of the club, but spoke of his new role with the AFL in shaping the game for the future. His passion, clarity and common sense is going to be invaluable in the role. If every game was as good to watch as the Geelong-Melbourne game from last weekend there would be no issues at all. That is not the case and there will be change, nothing surer, but with open minded thinkers like ‘Pods’ in the mix, I am more optimistic about the end result.

Buku Khamis is a frequent flyer in the Western Jets defence. (Damjan Janevski)

Albans. He said he would be proud to represent both clubs in the big time should he be drafted to an AFL team at the end of the year. However, the draft is at the back of his mind at the moment, as he focuses on his school in

an important VCE year and helping get the Western Jets to the TAC Cup finals. In the TAC Cup, Western Jets ceded its spot in the top four after a heavy 57-point away loss to Gippsland Power on Sunday at the Morwell Football Ground.

Altona Gators have defied the odds to qualify for the under-14 Australian basketball national club championships. The Gators finished second in their Victorian Junior Basketball League pool to earn their spot at the nationals to be held in Shepparton in October. The Liam Wright-coached team earned a way through despite enduring injuries and perhaps over achieving. “It’s been a remarkable run,” Gators director of coaching Randy Shanklin said. “Liam has done an awesome job with that group. “We do have some pretty good players in that group, but I don’t think anybody would’ve seen them going to nationals. “They’ve over achieved a bit, which is fantastic.” Shanklin said the experience of competing against the best club teams would be a bonus for the underrated Altona.

Braybook brings in the young guns for desperate win It was a coming-of-age moment for some of Braybrook’s youngsters in an unexpected seven-point win over previously undefeated ladder leader Wyndham Suns in the Western Region Football League division 3 at Goddard Street Reserve on Saturday. The Brookers yearned for a big scalp and they come no bigger than a Suns side that had won its opening 12 matches of the season to move into premiership favouritism. Making the victory even more special was the injury toll the Brookers had to endure leading into the match, forcing coach Jason Hamilton to call on reinforcements from the reserves. “The young blokes that came up from the reserves did a great job and to get over the line was a big effort,” Hamilton said Braybrook had to think outside the square to inflict the upset and deployed a radical game plan that worked to perfection. “As a coaching group, we decided to put three extra players back early, so we had a nine-man backline going for the first quarter,” Hamilton said. “We had three blokes that could run and

could also get to the contest if they had to get to the contest. “I think it confused them a little bit and we got some goals out of that. “We wanted to clog it up and make it hard for them to run and spread like they normally do.” The strategy worked to a tee. Braybrook finished the opening quarter 24 points up and left Wyndham to play catch-up throughout. The Brookers extended that lead to 31 by the last change before the Suns’ kicked four goals to one in the last term to make it a nervous finish. Hamilton was thrilled with his players ability to carry out instructions. “They executed the game plan really well,” he said. “They got a bit tired there in the last quarter, but we always knew they were going to come at us. “I couldn’t be happier with what they did today.” Paul Cutajar-Milosev was the finisher for Braybrook with six goals. It was not only Cutajar-Milosev’s converting that was important for the Brookers, but also

his ability to halve a contest for his side when he was double teamed. “There was a couple on him at certain times, but he really made a contest for us,” Hamilton said. Nick Gregson was arguably the best player on the ground for Braybrook. The ruckman won the lion’s share of taps, but also contributed defensively. “He can get from one end of the ground to the other very quickly, can get to one contest and get to another contest and he runs all day,” Hamilton said. Nathan Calleja played a good “captain’s game”, focusing on the one-per centers that makes his team better, while Nathan Smith, who did most of his damage as a rebounding defending, bobbed up for two late goals to clinch victory for the Brookers. Braybrook, four games clear in fourth with five games to go, will face third-placed Point Cook Centrals in a finals-like game at Pennell Reserve on Saturday. Lance Jenkinson

Dan’s the man for Magic By Lance Jenkinson Could Daniel Kuczynski be the final piece in the puzzle for Altona Magic’s promotion push in National Premier League 2 west soccer? Kuczynski, recruited from state league 1 club Geelong in the mid-season transfer window, has turned it on since earning a spot in the Magic’s starting line-up. The overseas import with a Polish background, who came through the American college system, was at it again on Saturday night, clinching victory for the Magic with a goalscoring double in a 2-0 victory over Whittlesea Ranges at Paisley Park. Kuczynski arrived at the Magic under an injury cloud and only played his first game as a starter four weeks ago. In the past three matches, he has been lethal in attack, scoring six goals – including a hat-trick against Melbourne Victory. Magic coach Goran Lozanovski believes the captures of Kuczynski, and Robert Stambolziev only weeks earlier, have given the Magic a more complete team. “Stambolziev has been a good injection into the team and once ‘DK’ [Kuczynski] got up and running, he’s sort of complemented our team,” Lozanovski said. Kuczynski is the talk of Altona. How could he not be when he’s fired in seven goals in the past three games to further strengthen a Magic side that has won eight of its past nine games and sits eight points clear on top? “He’s just getting better and better every week,” Lozanovski said. “He came to us injured unfortunately, so we had to monitor him for a good two or three weeks before we let him off the bench to get some game time. “He looked a little rusty in his first start, against Murray United, but after that Murray game, he hasn’t looked back. “He’s scoring goals and creating havoc for defences. His passion is football and he’s doing it well, improving every week … if he keeps going the way he’s going, anything is possible.” The win over Whittlesea was far from a thing of beauty. The Ranges clogged up most avenues to goal for Altona in a negative-minded performance that was designed to keep the Magic’s scoring threat to a minimum. It didn’t work, with the Magic getting plenty of shots on goal before Kuczynski unlocked the door to victory. Troy Ruthven and James McGarry were the driving forces in the midfield that broke down the Whittlesea resistance. “It was probably a frustrating night because Whittlesea Ranges didn’t really come out

to play,” Lozanovski said. “They were very negative in what they were trying to do … we’ve had a few games like that in the last six or seven weeks. “It’s a frustrating thing to see, but I understand some coaches and clubs are desperate for points to make sure they stay out of relegation. But I think Whittlesea were quite safe from relegation and to come out and play

negative football was pretty disappointing. Having said that, they did make it difficult for us, but I always knew if we got a goal that we’d get on top and probably score a few more … I think their keeper was probably best on ground and probably saved six or seven shots.” Altona will face second-placed east conference side Moreland City in a blockbuster on the road at Campbell Reserve on Saturday.

Vikings smash Albion big time Altona scored a runaway 103-point win over Albion in the Western Region Football League division 1 at JR Parsons Reserve on Saturday. The Vikings ran riot in an 11-goal-to-nil final quarter to earn a significant percentage boost from a game that was hard-fought in the first three quarters. Patrick Rose was the talk of Sugargum Drive on Saturday night after kicking 11 goals in a best-on-ground display. Omar Abou-Zeid and Kyle Blake joined in the fun with four goals apiece. Altona is starting to hit its straps again after a mid-season lull. The Vikings have won three games on the trot to move up to third. Saade Ghazi’s team will go into this Saturday’s meeting with St Albans at Grant Reserve as hot favourite. While Altona is on the rise, Spotswood appears to be going the other way. The Woodsmen were beaten for a third straight week when going down to Hoppers Crossing by nine points in a low-scoring affair at McLean Reserve. The Woodsmen led by 17 points at three-quarter time, only to be over-run five goals to one in the last term. Mitchell Coleman kicked four goals to be named best for Spotswood. In division 2, the race for fourth spot heated up at the weekend with Manor Lakes, Parkside and Newport Power all winning, while West Footscray all but dropped out of contention. North Footscray’s finals spot is not guaranteed after it went down to Newport Power by 54 points. The Power, sitting third last, is a win away from the third-placed Devils, who have lost their past three. Youssef El Hawli and Mustafa Mesto were outstanding for the Power with five goals apiece. Parkside also moved to within a game of North Footscray after its shock 33-point win over Point Cook. Nikolas Goulas, Riley O’Shea and Chris Muratore were the standouts in the Magpies win. Yarraville-Seddon maintained its hot streak, beating Albanvale by 135 points. Chris Salvador brought up his 50th goal of the season on a day he booted five. In division 3, Laverton went down by 138 points to Point Cook Centrals. Lance Jenkinson 53 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 25, 2018

Coach works hard to keep winning streak rolling You know how well Williamstown CYMS is travelling when its coach Mathew Montebello remarks “we still had our frustrations today” after they thrashed Marcellin by 65 points. The CYs might not have enjoyed the most aesthetically pleasing win but it sure was effective as they racked up a seventh consecutive win in a quick kill in the Victorian Amateur Football Association Premier C game at Fearon Reserve on Saturday. “It just wasn’t a free flowing game for us in the second half,” Montebello said. “The boys worked really hard in the second quarter, but the game closed up a little bit in the third, so Marcellin did a really good job.”

It was much better than the alternative for Williamstown CYMS. Last year, it was Marcellin who knocked CYs out of the finals, so they were keen for a bit of payback. “They gave us a bit of a reality check about what Premier C football was like,” Montebello said. It was a result that showed how far Williamstown CYMS have come in 11 months. The CYs youngsters have developed at a fast rate and their new recruits have gelled magnificently. There is a real togetherness about the 2018 version of CYs that Montebello likes.

“I’m really proud of how well they’ve bonded together,” Montebello said. “It’s a massive factor in any level of sport, but particularly local level.” Williamstown CYMS once again showed its a well balanced side. The CYs scored over 100 points for a 10th time this season and held Marcellin, a side that had averaged 78 points per game, to just 43. “We have some firepower, we can put the points up, but we do pride ourselves on being able to restrict teams a little bit more than we can out-kick them,” Montebello said. Williamstown CYMS had 10 goalkickers, including six – Nick Ebinger, Jacob Wheelahan,

Ben Gray, Sam Callard, Jack Gray and Russell Ackerly –who snared two goals apiece. Defensively, CYs strangled the life out of Marcellin. Montebello praised the influence of defensive coach David Ackerly, who has the CYs backline, including captain Fin Adamson, Ben Connolly, Jack Connolly, Kallan Dawson and Damon Tucker, working nicely as a unit. “I’m blessed that I’ve got a 200-game AFL footballer in Dave Ackerly as my backline coach,” he said. Williamstown CYMS will travel to fifth-placed PEGS on Saturday. Lance Jenkinson

Rapid-fire Seagulls steal victory By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown went from zero to 100 in 10 scintillating final quarter minutes to get the edge over Footscray by 10 points in the Victorian Football League western derby at the Williamstown Football Ground on Saturday. The Seagulls only kicked 36 points in the opening three quarters, but exploded to life with a seven-goal-to-two final term, sparked by a jaw-dropping five goals in the opening 10 minutes. Seagulls coach Andrew Collins described the game as a “dog fight”. “There was only eight AFL-listed players [in the Footscray side], but it was a really tough game,” he said. “So it was a really good win and particularly the last quarter.” Williamstown’s rapid five goals in the opening 10 minutes of the last quarter was part of a run of seven unanswered goals for the Seagulls to break the game open. Lachie Schultz and Ben Cavarra sparked the Seagulls to life. Schultz impacted both at the stoppages and in the front end with two goals, while Cavarra was “electric” in attack, finishing with three goals in a best-on-ground display. “They were the dynamic duo,” Collins said. “We know that either of them could go to an AFL club at any given moment because of their talent.” Williamstown was not without its big outs. The Seagulls had veterans Ben Jolley, Nick Meese and Willie Wheeler – three key engine room players – unavailable. Meese’s absence exposed the Seagulls’ lack of height and young Footscray ruckman Tim English took advantage to be the dominant big on the ground. However, Collins was proud of the competitiveness of under-sized ruckmen Jordan Jones and Daylan Kempster. “I thought we were able to get a little bit of footy around the ground with Jones and that’s

the best we can do at this particular time,” Collins said. The highlight of the day for Williamstown was a first club goal for Joel Tippett. He moved forward to take a strong mark and converted from close range to the delight of his teammates. “Normally he doesn’t get the high, but it’s a real credit to him to take the opportunity to assert himself on the contest and take a critical mark,” Collins said.

“For him to read the moment, his opponent went down there to go on the goal line and Tippett went down with him, and he took the opportunity to out-mark him.” Mitch Norton is looking comfortable for Williamstown two games back after a medial ligament injury, while Peter Faulks was a standout down back. For Footscray, the experience of Fletcher Roberts and Shane Biggs across half back kept

their side on the right side of the ledger for most of the game. The Bulldogs’ Fergus Greene, who kicked three goals, starred in the third quarter to take his side’s lead out to 20 points, but Williamstown reeled it in during a frenetic final term to claim a come-from-behind win. Williamstown head to the bye in fourth spot, while Footscray will be fighting to get back into the top eight when it returns after its bye.
