Friends furious at creek state

Wade Noonan, Tony Dawson and Shannon Beckman are hoping Williamstown RSL will be resurrected. (Joe Mastroianni)

Push for RSL rebirth Williamstown RSL could become the first in Victoria to be resurrected after being dissolved, with a new generation of veterans stepping up to form a Friends of Williamstown RSL group. The sub-branch was dissolved after its club was last year forced to close due to a multi-million dollar debt. The club was subsequently placed in voluntary administration before its premises were sold to a childcare centre developer to recoup the $3.5 million debt. Shannon Beckman, a 36-year-old veteran from the Solomon Islands, East Timor and Afghanistan, is part of the friends group. “As known from the past … no one really wants to see anyone falling through the cracks

because of the veterans being unsure of where to get support or because the right type of support isn’t available to them to access,” he said. “Obviously, because of the way it all went down with the Williamstown RSL, the Victorian RSL have their genuine concerns, which is rightly so. “So they have steered us in to starting a friends of an RSL to show the Victoria sub-branch that we can fulfil the needs and requirements to then take that next step into re-establishing an RSL in Williamstown.” Williamstown MP Wade Noonan, who has been instrumental in helping veterans, said the establishment of the group was important. “The loss of the RSL has left a void that really hasn’t gone away for the Williamstown

community,” he said. “The Williamstown community is a strong and fighting community and they really value their institutions.” Mr Noonan said next year would mark 100 years since the Red Cross Society gifted the land to the Williamstown veterans to establish the RSL back in 1919. “So there’d be a sense of romance, if you like, in relation to establishing a sub-branch 100 years on to mark that wonderful act of generosity,” he said Hobsons Bay Yacht Club, where the past two Anzac Day gunfire breakfasts have been held following the Williamstown RSL Club’s closure, will be the friends’ headquarters. Commodore Tony Dawson said the yacht club had offered its support to ensure the local RSL presence continued.

Residents fighting for the devastated Stony Creek are taking their campaign to Parliament. The waterway remains so heavily contaminated by the August 30 West Footscray fire that people and animals are still being warned to stay away from the creek and surrounding parkland. Members and supporters of Friends of Stony Creek and Friends of Cruickshank Park will don black on the Parliament steps from 8.30am Thursday to hold a ‘memorial’ to “remind the Victorian Government the creek is in crisis”. The rally comes after the groups wrote to Premier Daniel Andrews arguing that the environment and community in Melbourne’s inner-west has been severely compromised. “The run-off from the fire has destroyed all life in the creek and it could take 10 years to recover,” they wrote. “It will need longer than that and the prevention of further pollution events to ever return to a thriving ecosystem. This feels like ‘Groundhog Day’ for this community.” Star Weekly has reported more than 2000 dead fish were washed up in the wake of the fire. Residents living near the creek have continued to experience health problems, reporting headaches, blood noses, anxiety and other concerns. Melbourne Water has spent $600,000 so far on the clean-up, include pumping contaminated water and removing wildlife destroyed by the fire. The site of the fire has been handed over to the owner, who has been issued with EPA notices requiring they install security fences and keep run-off from entering stormwater drains. Police are continuing their investigation into the cause of the fire. Williamstown MP Wade Noonan is calling for the operator of the business to pay “the full cost of the environmental destruction” and face criminal sanctions if the fire was caused by the illegal storage and handling of highly flammable and toxic materials and liquids. A spokesman said the state government will ensure there’s enough funding to manage the clean-up to return Stony Creek to the state it was prior to the fire.

Call to rein in steep rate rises By Goya Dmytryshchak A Hobsons Bay councillor is calling for change to how residential rates are calculated following skyrocketing property values. His call has been backed by Maribyrnong ratepayers via an online petition calling for moves to protect property owners against sudden steep rises in rates. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay ratepayers are coming forward in droves to say their properties have been wildly over-valued, with some homes

increasing in value by $735,000 in two years. Cr Tony Briffa at last week’s council meeting flagged a motion calling on council officers to review property rates and charges as part of the development of the 2019-20 rating strategy. The motion will ask officers to prepare a report that considers the impact of increasing values as well as options including for changes to differential rating structures. “Residents are feeling financial stress as a result of wage increases not keeping pace with the cost of living pressures such as power, water, insurances and rates,” Cr Briffa said.

Cr Briffa said long-term residents in particular are seeing property values outstrip affordability. Newport resident Jerry Creaney started a Facebook group called Hobsons Bay Ratepayers for residents concerned about the rates hike. “You have to understand that people, especially retired people or people on low incomes who happen to be living in the area … this could force them out of their homes,” he said. “The cost of living has gone through the roof and on top of this we get up to 45 per cent rate hikes.”

Maribyrnong resident Craig Mercer has collected almost 400 signatures via an online petition about the issue. Maribyrnong council chief executive Stephen Wall told last week’s council meeting that property valuations were based on the market activity across the area. “In a perfect world, if no-one’s valuations moved, you would all see a movement in the amount of rates paid of 2.25 per cent,” he said. Mr Wall said new valuations of about 20,000 of Maribyrnong’s 36,000 residential properties rose at a higher than the average rate.

Chips are hip for pet set PETstock will run a microchip blitz at its Altona North store on October 20 and 21, charging a $10 flat fee to microchip cats, dogs and some small animals. It will be the third year of the national microchipping event run by the busineess’s charity arm, PETstock Assist. Victorian law requires cats and dogs to be microchipped as a condition of registration. In Hobsons Bay, 91 per cent of cats and 35 per cent of dogs picked up by animal management officers in 2017-18 were unregistered, making the task of reuniting owners with lost pets almost impossible. Event co-ordinator Jess Guilfoyle said that each year the number of pets being presented to the blitz nationwide had decreased. “In 2016, more than 8210 animals were microchipped during the event and in 2017, we were pleased to see those numbers reduced to 6566 – demonstrating the decreasing number

NEW

of Aussie animals in need of microchipping,” she said. “Providing affordable and accessible microchipping to all pet owners allows more lost animals to be returned to their owners quickly and safely.” National project manager Christine Robertson said microchipping could normally cost up to $80. “Once microchipped, pets can be tracked down online or through the local vet,” she said. “However, keeping your registration contact details updated is a must.” Some small animals, including rabbits and guinea pigs, will be eligible for microchipping, but birds and reptiles are not suitable. Bookings are essential for PETstock’s microchip blitz. To register, visit petstock.com.au Goya Dmytryshchak

Community members can ‘Walk a Mile in my Shoes’ in Williamstown next month to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of mental health. Mental health practitioner Justine Brogna said she created the walk to bring people together in a show of support. “I am passionate about keeping mental health issues on the public agenda,” she said. “I primarily want to bring to the forefront the less spoken about mental illnesses such as the psychoses, including schizophrenia. “I believe that people are getting better at speaking about depression and anxiety, which is a big step in the right direction. However, schizophrenia and other psychotic-related disorders still often remain in the shadows.”

Ms Brogna said she also wanted to acknowledge family members and carers who were often “the forgotten sufferers in the picture of mental illness”. People are being urged to wear something green in honour of those experiencing mental health-related illness. There will be live music, raffles, information stalls, children’s football and soccer clinics, a sausage sizzle and a jumping castle. The Walk a Mile in my Shoes mental health awareness walk is on Sunday, October 14 from 9am-noon at Williamstown’s Commonwealth Reserve.

Birth of a new campaign By Sumeyya Ilanbey Meet baby Derek – born on September 7, he is the west’s 10,000th newborn this year – a monumental milestone for the western suburbs, where there have been on average 270 babies born weekly since January. With that comes added pressure to the already over-stretched maternal and children’s services in the region. Derek’s birth coincided with the launch of a new campaign, Generation West, which calls on the state candidates to commit to investment in family health services ahead of the November election. The campaign is calling for a centre of parenting excellence, expanded services for vulnerable families, a boost to dental health for children, more support for parents before and after birth and a review of maternal and paediatric services in Melbourne’s west. Campaign spokeswoman, and Moonee Valley councillor, Samantha Byrne said the first 1000 days of a child’s life was critical, but services to support children and their parents in the region were lacking. “The service just hasn’t kept up with demand,” Ms Byrne said. “About 14,000 babies will be born in Melbourne’s west this year, and they’re being left behind.” Derek was born at Sunshine Hospital at 3am on September 7. His parents Jemma and Jordan Mizzi, of Kurunjang, did not attend any birth classes because they were booked out. Ms Mizzi told Channel Seven she was induced at Sunshine Hospital on September 3, but asked to go home because there weren’t enough beds. “They definitely need more rooms and services,” Ms Mizzi said. “[The arrival of

Jemma and Jordan Mizzi with baby Derek. (Supplied)

Derek] was amazing – a very long experience, but the staff were wonderful.” The community is being urged to get behind Generation West and lobby their state candidates. “Melbourne’s west is a wonderful place to live and raise a family, but if we don’t get funding to expand services, families will face

real problems accessing early years support they might need,” Ms Byrne said. “It’s not only our massive growth but the lack of proper planning and provision. “We’re not asking for the impossible, just a commitment from our local MPs to act now.” To get involved, visit www.generationwest. org.au

Altona North plan approved A new Altona North housing estate half the size of Melbourne’s CBD has been approved by Planning Minister Richard Wynne. The former Don Smallgoods site, known as Precinct 15, is to be developed by a number of landowners into 3000 dwellings for about 7000 people. The 67-hectare site faces Blackshaws Road and is bounded by Kyle Road, New Street and the West Gate Freeway. The development will have a preferred maximum height of six storeys in the centre and a maximum height of three storeys on the interface with New Street and Kyle Road. Mr Wynne said developers would pay a total of $54 million in development levies, which would be used for community and transport infrastructure, including two signalised intersections on Blackshaws Road and upgrades to the Millers and Blackshaws roads intersection. He said that in response to community concerns about traffic, developers would fund an extra $500,000 package of traffic-management works. “We’re creating new jobs, housing and infrastructure on former industrial sites in inner Melbourne where there is such great potential to turn disused land into vibrant communities,” he said. The development will have a centre with a supermarket and 10,000 square metres of commercial floor space, and a 1713-square-metre community centre. Goya Dmytryshchak

Inner-west truck accord

City focuses on new vision

By Benjamin Millar Speed limit cuts and rewards for low-emission trucks travelling through the inner west have been put on the table as part of a rare alliance. Trucking industry body the Victorian Transport Association and community group Maribyrnong Truck Action Group have been working on a new plan to improve air quality and road safety on streets in Footscray and Yarraville. Under the Maribyrnong Cleaner Freight Initiative, being reviewed by Roads Minister Luke Donnellan, existing truck curfews would be adjusted to give greater access to newer trucks with cleaner engines and better safety features. Trucks without the newer low-emission Euro 5-compliant engines would face extended curfews on key routes, including Moore Street in Footscray and Francis Street and Somerville Road in Yarraville. The plan would also see overnight and weekend curfews introduced on parts of Williamstown Road in Yarraville and Buckley Street in Footscray. All of the routes would be subject to a new 50km/h speed limit, a move already backed by Maribyrnong council but rejected by VicRoads to date. Operators of dangerous goods-placarded vehicles would be required to display highly-reflective tape to increase visibility. MTAG president Samantha McArthur said the initiative was “a huge leap forward” in finding solutions agreeable to both sides, which have a history of conflict over inner-west trucks. “MTAG and the community have been calling out for measures to modernise the trucks in our area for years,” she said.

“This initiative will, for the first time in Victoria, start to initiate this much-needed change.” VTA chief executive Peter Anderson said the community would benefit from trucks being replaced by younger, more efficient fleets operated by drivers who have had specialist training covering local freight routes.

NEWS

“This visionary plan we have developed with MTAG addresses the safety and environmental concerns of residents and equips drivers with a specific skills set for operating in residential communities,” Mr Anderson said. “Productivity gains accredited operators will receive … will offset criteria they will have to meet to qualify.”

Maribyrnong’s industrial roots and multicultural make-up are at the heart of a community-driven vision that will guide planning for the next 20 years. The Maribyrnong 2040 Community Plan, unveiled at last week’s council meeting, is a long-term strategy to support service and infrastructure planning. Capturing the community’s “vision and aspirations to 2040”, the plan stated that Maribyrnong will experience enormous change and growth in the next 20 years. Maribyrnong 2040 – the first community plan for Maribyrnong – will be used to develop the council’s four-year plans. The plan was developed this year by a 30-member community panel drawn from a range of demographics and suburbs across the municipality. The main topics raised included multiculturalism, planning and heritage, connectivity and transport, as well as parking and truck routes. The panel identified five guiding themes for focus: active citizenship, living well, linking people and places, shaping natural and built environments, and working and learning. The overarching vision developed by the panel was for “a city where history and differences are embraced, forming the foundations from which vibrant, diverse and sustainable communities thrive”.

Creek pollution fix call

Council wants fire answers

By Benjamin Millar Rehabilitating heavily polluted Stony Creek should be a key aspect of a new plan being developed for the west’s waterways, according to advocates. Friends of Cruickshank Park secretary Sue Vittori said bringing back life to the creek – devastated by chemical run-off from the August 30 West Footscray warehouse fire – should form part of the new Waterways of the West Action Plan. A new ministerial advisory committee will work with western suburbs communities and traditional owners on the plan, which could give the Maribyrnong and Werribee rivers protection levels similar to the Yarra River. The committee will be chaired by Chris Chesterfield, who held the same role in relation to the Yarra River Action Plan. Mr Chesterfield said there had traditionally been a fragmented approach to planning and management of Melbourne’s key waterways. He said heavy industrial development along the Maribyrnong River had “left a bit of a legacy” that would need to be tackled. “There is a sense there hasn’t been a strong focus on the amenity of the river and how important it is for the liveability of the area,” he said. Mr Chesterfield said the Werribee River was an impressive and relatively untouched waterway that hadn’t been as impacted by urban development. “People often talk about the Werribee River as being the jewel of the west,” he said. Footscray MP Marsha Thomson said the plan would make sure “there are no more Josephs Roads for starters”, referring to the previous government’s approval of high-rise towers up to 32 storeys high looming over the

Maribyrnong River in Footscray. Ms Thomson said community engagement would be vital to making sure the plan reflected local interests. “As well as the wider community, we are making sure we include the indigenous communities as well,” she said. Ms Thomson joined Water Minister Lisa Neville and Planning Minister Richard Wynne

at Footscray Rowing Club recently to announce the plan. Ms Neville said the Western Rivers Action Plan recognised the importance of the waterways to the community. The government will also spend $400,000 on projects including a new pontoon on the Maribyrnong River at Footscray Park and visitor facilities at Werribee River.

Hobsons Bay councillors have raised concerns about the handling of last month’s West Footscray fire that sent toxic smoke across the western suburbs and contaminated waterways. At last week’s council meeting, Cr Tony Briffa said the toxic smoke closed down a number of schools, community centres and businesses. “Do we know what the impacts are, whether it’s short term or long term as a result of that fire to both our environments and residents’ health? “How were we keeping our residents’ [informed] given there was a lot of confusion on the day? “Is it possible for the council administration to provide a future report to a council meeting about this, about lessons learned and what we should be doing better or differently – if anything.” Hobsons Bay Greens councillor Jonathon Marsden criticised the EPA’s handling of the West Footscray fire. “Given the agencies’ response, well in my opinion, was fairly lacklustre, particularly the EPA response and the other public warning systems, how can we as a council contribute in the washup to improving those lead agencies’ protocols and processes?” he asked. Hobsons Bay council had its own emergency management team and a staff officer was in the state government’s incident control centre to relay information back to the council. Goya Dmytryshchak

Social housing’s fast-track cash By Benjamin Millar The first of almost 60 new social housing units in Footscray and Maidstone could be in place by the end of the year following a $3 million state government injection into the project. Launch Housing is moving 57 new relocatable homes to house the homeless on to nine Ballarat Road sites owned by VicRoads in an Australian-first $7 million pilot project. Planning Minister Richard Wynne last year used his powers to approve the project after it met with resistance from nearby residents,

with Mr Wynne arguing it was “too important to be stymied by delays at VCAT”. The modular housing units are being completely assembled in a factory, right down to the installation of whitegoods. VicRoads has leased the vacant land to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which has sub-leased the sites to Launch Housing for an initial five-year period. Launch Housing chief executive Bevan Warner said Australia was in the midst of a housing affordability crisis resulting in more and more people experiencing homelessness.

“Utilising under-utilised government land can help alleviate this problem,” he said. Philanthropist father-and-son Geoff and Brad Harris have donated $4 million towards the units. Brad Harris said they were attracted to the speed at which the units could be built, at a relatively low price, and the prospect the model could be rolled out elsewhere. Consumer Affairs Minister Marlene Kairouz visited one of the sites last Wednesday to announce the $3 million in funding from the Victorian Property Fund.

Building a community Demolition work has begun to pave the way for one of the inner-west’s largest social housing projects. Unison is knocking down its aging 17-bed rooming house on the corner of Napier and Cowper streets in Footscray to make way for a $9.4 million, 54-unit redevelopment. Unison has been responsible for a number of similar projects, including the 71-unit redevelopment of the Barkly Hotel in Footscray. Consumer affairs minister Marlene Kairouz visited the site last Wednesday to announce $5 million in state government funding from the Victorian Property Fund for the project, which will contain 42 one-bedroom units and 12 self-contained studios. Unison acting chief executive Ed Holmes said Unison’s services in Seddon saw almost 3000 households in need in the 2016-17 financial year. “In the last 12 months we’ve seen an 18 per

cent increase in people coming to us for help,” he said. “That tells you a little bit why this new housing is so desperately needed.” Rent for tenants will be capped at no more than 30 per cent of household income, ensuring the housing remains affordable. Unison head of strategy Sarah Toohey said the self-contained nature of the units will give more privacy and dignity to the tenants. “We are giving people a place they can call home,” she said. Ms Toohey said the project is due to be completed by December 2019 and displaced tenants can return to one of the new units. Ms Kairouz said the state government was investing in community agencies to help build projects that expand Victoria’s stock of social housing in areas of greatest need. Benjamin Millar

Uni accepts a win for diversity By Benjamin Millar Victoria University’s drive to embrace cultural diversity has been recognised with Victoria’s top award for service to multicultural communities. The Victorian Multicultural Commission presented VU with the Award for Business Excellence in a ceremony at Government House last Wednesday night. Victoria University is one of the most culturally-diverse universities in Australia, with staff and students drawn from more

than 90 different cultures and speaking 200 languages. Judges noted that VU “embeds the ethos and practice of cultural diversity as part of the university experience”. VU vice chancellor Peter Dawkins said the university celebrates and values cultural diversity as a strength and asset. “We ensure the experiences we provide for our students are interculturally inclusive, community connected, and transformational,” he said. Cultural diversity manager Teresa De Fazio said VU’s diverse community, with more than

two in five staff and students born overseas, creates a strong sense of social cohesion and belonging. “Cultural diversity at VU is not just based on statistics – it has long been at the heart of the work we undertake each and every day,” she said. The award also recognised VU’s formal Cultural Diversity Strategy, launched this year. The strategy includes intercultural awareness programs, professional mentoring, community and industry partnerships and support for refugees and asylum-seekers.

Reporter’s work lauded Star Weekly Maribyrnong reporter Benjamin Millar has been named the 2018 winner of the Media Award in Victoria’s Multicultural Awards for Excellence. The award acknowledges journalists or media organisations that have made an outstanding effort to highlight issues of importance to diverse communities and to contribute to Victorians’ cross-cultural understanding and awareness of diversity. In awarding the honour, presented at Government House last Wednesday, judges noted that Benjamin had drawn on his experience reporting news in Melbourne’s western suburbs since 2010 to provide “a strong voice of reason” in the media and political narrative surrounding “African gangs”. The award highlighted his work online and in print to explore the complexities around sensitive issues and to balance all sides of the ongoing debate. The judges said that while

Benjamin had not shied from reporting on crime and its victims, he had done so in a way that served as “a turning point” in reporting and the debate. They called his reporting “an important intervention” that shone new light on the situation and provided voices to the broader multicultural community.

Newport man on gun charges By Goya Dmytryshchak A Newport man is accused of trying to buy a Kalashnikov assault rifle and other firearms in Lebanon. The 39-year-old was arrested at Melbourne Airport on September 9 after arriving on a flight back from Lebanon. It follows a nine-month investigation by Australian Federal Police who liaised with Lebanese authorities to track down suppliers and traffickers of firearms.

AFP investigators allege the man sought to buy weapons including an AK-47 and semi-automatic handguns. Commander Amanda Kates said the investigation was ongoing. “Weapons identified during this investigation are the type traditionally sought by organised crime figures, and we had real fears they could have been used to commit or facilitate other crimes,” she said. “While charges have been laid, our

‘‘

We had fears they could have been used to commit - Amanda Kates other crimes

’’

investigators will continue working with domestic and international law enforcement partners to identify the full scope of this matter.” The man has been charged with seven

offences relating to his attempt to buy firearms and money laundering while overseas. Charges include two counts of dealing with money to the value of $1000 or more that would become an instrument of crime, using a telecommunications network with intention to commit a serious offence, moving more than $10,000 out of Australia and three counts of committing an indictable offence while on bail. He fronted court on September 10 and is due to reappear in January.

Jazzin’ up the Proms Acclaimed jazz musician James Morrison has been announced as the headline act for Last Night of the Proms in Williamstown next month. Morrison starred last year at the BBC Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall. He has played with some of the biggest names in jazz and blues, including Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles and BB King. Also taking centre stage in Williamstown will be the Western Region Concert Band, SingWest choir, Laverton Community Choir and local singer Rosa McCarty. They will perform traditional prom tunes including Military March No.1, Land of Hope and Glory, Fantasy on British Sea Songs, Jerusalem and Rule Britannia! Band vice-president Clare Perry said Morrison had performed five years ago at the Williamstown Proms and thoroughly enjoyed it. “We’re a very high-quality community band within the Melbourne suburbs, so to be able to

perform with people such as James Morrison and Leo Sayer and Christine Anu, as we have done in the past, is just a fantastic, amazing opportunity to be able to do that,” she said. “James will be joined on stage by his two sons – Harry Morrison, who plays bass guitar, and William Morrison, on guitar … he’s also bringing his drummer, Patrick Danao.” Ms Perry said the 18th annual event at Williamstown would be modelled on the British version. “It’s an event where people in the audience can actually get involved … they can dress up, they can wave their flags, they can sing along and make noise and just have a great time,” she said. Last Night of the Proms will be held on Saturday, October 13, from 7.30pm at Williamstown Town Hall. Tickets cost $44.50/$39.50 are available via hobsonsbaytickets.com.au or 9932 4074.

Altona parkland to be the ‘jewel in the crown’ Environmentalists have welcomed a plan to return a parcel of Altona cemetery land back to the community as public parkland. The state government has awarded $450,000 to The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust to transform an 11-hectare parcel of land at the north-east corner of Grieve Parade and Dohertys Road at Altona North. As reported by Star Weekly in 2015, Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek called on Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews to stop Altona Memorial Park extending on to the crown land of indigenous significance. The crown land had been reserved for cemetery purposes since the memorial park was created about 1961. In 2009, the Friends group commissioned Biosis Research archaeologists to investigate the site. Within an hour, they had discovered a large number of indigenous artefacts. Friends president Geoff Mitchelmore said the announcement that the land would be turned into a park for the community was fantastic. “It will enable us to link up the two walking paths that are already in existence on that side of the creek,” he said. “We’ll have a continuous walking path between Barnes Road and Geelong Road, which is about four kilometres. “It’s actually the jewel in the crown of the creek now. “It’s opened the full extent of the creek in Altona, it’s opened the wildlife corridor, it’s just amazing.” Trust chief executive Jacqui Weatherill said a five-year works program would include the removal of non-indigenous vegetation and weeds and the planting of more than 5000 native trees, shrubs and grasses.

She said Melbourne Water would plant a further 4000 plants close to Kororoit Creek. “We’re proud to be partnering with the Victorian government on this project and to be working with Melbourne Water and the marvellous Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek group to provide a beautiful community park,” she said. The trust will be responsible for the maintenance and management of the parkland. Altona MP Jill Hennessy said the parkland would “honour the contributions of different cultures, families and individuals that have shaped our community”. The work will be carried out in consultation with Aboriginal Victoria. Goya Dmytryshchak

Police briefs Newport police assault

Two police officers were taken to hospital after being assaulted at Newport last Wednesday. Sergeant Cameron Scott said the night-shift van was called to do a welfare check at a Collingwood Road address about 12.30am. It is understood the officers were checking on a pregnant woman. “A man came out of the premises and allegedly starting throwing punches and kicking the officers,” Sergeant Scott said. “A female then appeared from the house and hindered police.” He said capsicum spray was used and multiple police units arrived. A female leading senior constable and a male senior constable suffered facial injuries requiring hospital treatment. They have since been discharged. A 40-year-old Newport man has been charged with two counts each of assaulting an emergency services worker on duty, intentionally causing injury and ecklessly causing injury.

Altona Meadows crash

An elderly driver crashed into a house in Altona Meadows last Thursday. His Hyundai sedan mounted a roundabout at the corner of Merton Street and Alma Avenue and crashed into an Alma Avenue home just before 5pm. An MFB spokeswoman said the car went through the front fence and a window before coming to a stop. Paramedics assessed the driver, his female passenger and the homeowner at the scene. No one was injured. There was no structural damage to the house.

P-plater’s car impounded

A P-plater was caught driving at 80/kmh over the speed limit at Laverton

on Friday. Westgate Highway Patrol officers detected the blue VW Golf sedan travelling on the Princess Freeway just after 1.30am. The driver, an 18-year-old Werribee man, was allegedly travelling at 180km/h in a 100km/h zone. He told police he was on his way to see his sick girlfriend. The man held a P1 probationary licence. His vehicle has been impounded for 30 days at a cost of $878.50 and he is expected to be charged with speeding and other traffic offences.

Laverton hit-run charges

A learner driver charged with a hit-run at Laverton that left a toddler fighting for life appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday. Two-year-old Damon Michell had run out onto Railway Avenue when the incident occurred just before 9pm. He remains in The Royal Children’s Hospital in a serious, but stable, condition. Zachary Larkins, 21, has been charged with failing to stop, failing to render assistance and being a learner driver unaccompanied by a full licence holder. He was bailed to reappear in the same court on December 3. Police request anyone with information or who witnessed the incident and anyone with dash cam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

New height limits flagged By Goya Dmytryshchak New residential zones allowing development of more than four storeys in some Hobsons Bay neighbourhoods have been released for community feedback. The council must implement the new zones, which were introduced by the state government to manage residential growth. Hobsons Bay’s population is expected to grow from 95,395 to 112,462 by 2036, equating to a demand for about 8850 new homes. Three proposed zones are: neighbourhood residential zone with a two storey limit, general residential zone capped at three storeys, and residential growth zone with a discretionary height of four storeys. Residential growth zones are areas close to stations and activity centres or large strategic redevelopment areas. In preparing its draft Housing Strategy (including a Housing Framework Plan), the council has updated its Neighbourhood Character Study and Activity Centres Strategy, all of which are now out for public comment. Six neighbourhood character types have been identified, including the “inner urban” older style typical in Williamstown and “waterfront suburban” along or near the coast. Neighbourhood character will determine the type of development allowed. Planning portfolio advisory committee co-chair, Cr Michael Grech told last week’s council meeting that people should get involved. “This is a draft and this is your opportunity to provide feedback,” he said.

Top formula for kids Dr Lorian Parker says her heart sings when she sees the joy that science can put on the face of a child. The Footscray science educator, who runs the SciencePlay Kids program, has been named one of the Australian Financial Review’s 100 Women of Influence for 2018. The list features women working across a spectrum of industries throughout Australia who have demonstrated a strong sense of commitment to a cause. Dr Parker, above, draws on her background in medical research and experience introducing her own two children and their friends to hands-on science experiments to deliver workshops and education to kids. “Science is in everything and young kids are always asking questions about the world around

them, but as they get older they can become less curious,” she said. “I want to bring the magic and fun of science to life in a way everyone can see its magic.” Dr Parker said making science education fun for children could be very simple. She finds it especially rewarding when her science workshops light up the faces of children from diverse backgrounds or those with anxiety or disability. SciencePlay Kids runs regularly at Footscray Community Arts Centre. Dr Parker will hold daily animal science workshops 10am-2pm from September 24 to 28 as part of Highpoint shopping centre’s school holiday activities. Benjamin Millar

The construction of a new early years hub, co-located on the Altona P-9 College site at 103A Grieve Parade, is nearing completion and Council is proposing to officially name the facility, Altona Early Years Hub. The name Altona Early Years Hub is aligned with the intended use of the facility being a multi-purpose early years hub. The facility will provide the community a range of integrated early learning programs and services including long day care, sessional kindergarten, maternal and child health care services, early childhood intervention services and ancillary meeting rooms for the development of early childhood. As part of the registration process for naming the facility, members of the public are able to make a submission by email to earlyyears@hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au or phone Council on 9932 1000.

New chapter for library The community is being invited to help celebrate next month’s reopening of Hobsons Bay’s oldest library. Altona library, built in 1965, has been closed since July for refurbishment and will reopen on Monday, October 1. An official ribbon-cutting ceremony and family-friendly celebration will happen on Saturday, October 6, from 10am-1pm. Hobsons Bay councillor Sandra Wilson said participation in local library programs had grown six per cent from 2016 to 2017 and 47 per cent in the past five years. “A recent Libraries Work! study on the return on investment on Victorian public libraries shows that for every dollar we spend on our libraries in Hobsons Bay, we receive

$4 worth of community value,” she said. “Our contemporary libraries encourage lifelong learning, with interesting events, including author talks, early learning programs and tech workshops to name a few.” Fellow councillor Tony Briffa said the refurbishment included a new quiet-study room and community meeting room. “The environmentally-themed new look for the library also includes an expanded EnviroCentre highlighting local environmental resources and information,” Cr Briffa said. Celebrations at Altona library, 123 Queen Street, will continue in October and November with numerous free events. Goya Dmtryshchak

MY PLACE Altona’s Russell Cassar aims to post at least one photo on Facebook each day. He speaks with Goya Dmytryshchak. What’s your connection to Hobsons Bay? I was born in Williamstown Hospital and grew up in Altona North. Then, a bit over 25 years ago, I bought a house in central Altona. I went to school in Altona. I went to St Leo’s primary school and then Altona North Technical School, so most of my friends live in Altona and grew up around Altona. I fished from when I was a little kid, around Altona. What do you like about Altona?

(Mark Wilson)

I like its village atmosphere. It’s a very quiet spot and no one’s on their way through Altona to go somewhere else. Most of the locals are very friendly. I have a lot of friends here. I like the village atmosphere, the village community. What don’t you like? I don’t like how many units are going up in Altona. I’d probably limit the amount of units going up. It takes away from the village atmosphere, I think. What’s your favourite local cafe or restaurant? Salt n Pepa in Pier Street is one of my favourites. I get coffee there quite a few times in the morning and Chris the proprietor is a friend of mine now.

What are some of your favourite places to do photography? Altona is an easy one. Anywhere east of the sharp bend on the Esplanade is great for sunrise, and sunset anywhere west of that bend. The reef off Millers Road is a really nice spot. Altona Pier, obviously. And around the old ammunition pier, which is no longer there – that’s a really nice spot as well.

How did your passion for photography start? I think I’ve always had a passion for photography, but I think in the old days with film it was quite difficult because you would take 24 images and then have to wait a week … it was very difficult to see where you were going wrong. And then digital came out and it was easier. You could see on the back of the screen the mistakes that you were making and you could correct. I think

that technology sparked my interest more. I’m self-taught – I haven’t done any courses. It’s a lot of hard work, so a lot of asking questions and YouTube and Google research and trial and error. And what people don’t see is that you take a lot of photos to get one photo that really stands out. I post images on Facebook. I try to post an image every day and the support that I get and the private messages that I get … it’s just overwhelming.

A block away from this fantastic, welcoming and intriguing cottage-style residence, the Challis Street shops reflect a changing community with cafes, post office, yoga studio, newsagent and grocery. Walk in past the brick-paved front yard, offering off-street parking for two cars, to the lovely sitting room with a fireplace in perfect working order, restored baltic pine floorboards with matte finish, and exposed timber doorway skirting – all adding to the lovely timber-focused feel found throughout. The kitchen and meals area is separate from both living areas, part of a more

traditional layout that is oh-so cosy, yet also a great size for a family. In the kitchen are hardwood floors, benches and room enough for a six-seater dining table. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry and more exposed timber in the form of hardwood cabinetry and wood benches. The mood suits the briny seafaring vibe embedded into the property by the vendor, a former naval officer. The house was re-stumped five years ago and extended around six years ago, with the second living room created at the rear of the house.

In this room, timber ceilings with three large windows let heaps of light filter in. There is a bar area, a split-system and timber sliding doors. The picture windows look out to more low-maintenance outdoor areas, with brick paving and a cute garden including established lemon and lime trees and two cherry blossoms at the rear helping to attract native birds. There are three bedrooms in all. The main is at the front of the property, with large built-in robes. Two more follow, the second also with a built-in robe.

Timber storage has been installed over the years, helping create a distinct feel, as if you could be on a large yacht. Newport central and its many drawcards – train station, shopping, cafes, the Substation – are nearby. Newport Gardens Early Years Centre is at the end of the street, while schools, parkland and sports clubs are close at hand. This special property will make a perfect house for a family wanting their forever home in the middle of this friendly community. Samantha Freestone

501 Melbourne Road, Newport The prominence and the convenience of this free-standing Edwardian’s position are matched by the appeal of its proportions and the exceptional added advantage of a triple carport. Speaking of triple – three double bedrooms that convey outstanding character beneath their high period ceilings set the scene for a bright living/dining area and a kitchen where timber tones, stainless steel appliances and vivid splash-backs deliver irresistible vibrancy. An equally impressive theme defines the designer bathroom while the style and substance of the deck deliver outdoor enjoyment. Polished floorboards, perfect presentation - and the carport – complement a home offering ideal proximity to the shops and cafes of Newport and Spotswood, within easy reach of the CBD and the beach at Williamstown. Brilliant.

A period image and a sought after setting combine to define the enduring desirability of a home in which two double bedrooms lead to a living/dining area where polished floorboards, an open fire-place and dado paneling complement the character and the comfort. The separate kitchen with double doors lead to a courtyard of pleasing depth and concludes with a convenient rear right-of-way. Cafes, shops and trains to town from Yarraville station are all so close – yet this is a location that’s also beautifully quiet. Love it.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds a gem in the industrial heartland Prowling the back streets of Sunshine North after dark is a weird feeling – creepy even. No one around, the businesses are closed and there’s little by way of street lighting. But as we arrive at the block on which Bakhdida lives, parking is at a premium. Entering the restaurant we discover the reason for that: A couple of dozen guests happily playing cards and the like. Yes, this is an eatery-cum-social club of the kind found all over the west in a dizzying array of cultural affiliations. But don’t let that put you off. Here you’ll be served wonderful Iraqi food. Much of the long and extremely affordable menu is familiar in the Middle Eastern way, though there are a few points of difference along the journey. Proprietor Abraham Pitros and his crew are really on the ball, with our many dishes arriving looking gorgeous and after what seemed like hardly any time at all. Pickles are served with several of our other dishes as garnishes, but it’s a good thing we order a dedicated serve of them ($5) with olives – because we love them a lot and eat of them heartily. Cabbage, celery, some carrot and – best of all – many cauliflower florets have a turmeric hue, are delicious and are made with love by Abraham’s mum. A good whack of turmeric is also at play in the dipping concoction that comes with our falafel ($15).

BAKHDIDA CAFE AND RESTAURANT Address: 42 Knight Avenue, Sunshine North Phone: 0403 440 174 The falafel – in the shape of small donuts – are golden outside and in, very plain in the seasoning department and very good. Mixed dips ($10) – eggplant, gagic, hommus – are every bit as excellent as you’d expect and accompanied by a sort-of ratatouille and cabbage salad. We enjoy them with good house-made Iraqi bread. Under the roof of pita chips is a top-notch rendition of fatoosh ($5). Sliced beetroot ($5) is OK, but is so plain it gets a bit lost amid all the other zingy flavours we are loving. Just like all the other guests this night, we get to try (at no charge) this un-named kitchen trial dish. It’s made of large yellow cucumber slices and come across as a cross between a pickle and a salad. It, too, is great. Lamb shawerma ($16) is chewy, a little crispy and quite salty – just as we like it! Mixed skewers ($16) are succulent, awesome – and seemingly unseasoned in any way. Saving the best until last? Pretty much! In meat tashreeb ($16), the cooking juices soak into the bread, upon which resides a generous serving of lamb shank meat. Will we return to Bakhdida? Yes. Again and again and again …

47 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 19, 2018

SPORT Lions on track for sixth premiership Deer Park players are not getting too caught up in the historical aspects linked to this year’s Western Region Football League division 1 grand final. The Lions will become the first top-flight non-amateur team in AFL Victoria metropolitan football history to achieve a sixth consecutive flag if they can beat Hoppers Crossing in the decider at Avalon Airport Oval on Saturday. The players are aware of the significance of victory, but they know if they look too far beyond the first bounce of this Saturday’s season decider, there is a risk their gazing at a potential sixth straight premiership cup might lead them to be being stranded on five. “It’s obviously in the back of our minds, but we just want to get the win,” Deer Park captain Jack Purton-Smith said.

“That’s all that matters and we’ll worry about that after and then if we win, we can sit back and go ‘wow, what an achievement’. “For now, the win is all that we want.” If Deer Park is to win on Saturday, it will always be linked to the record run of premierships between 2013 and 2017. The only players to have featured in all five grand finals were Kwame McHarg and Chris Stewart, while Marc Bullen has either been coach or player coach. Purton-Smith said the hunger remained because of the players who have not even been a part of one, adding that each premiership was unique with its own set of challenges. Purton-Smith cherishes every chance he gets to play in a grand final. The skipper missed out on the 2016 grand final after he was injured in the warm-up. He was under a cloud entering the 2018 finals

series with a hamstring injury, but got through the semi-final unscathed and should be raring to go on Saturday. “I’m feeling better, I’m better for the run. “I can’t wait.” Deer Park ruckman Scott Greenhough believes there is no added pressure on his team to keep the streak alive. He said the emotions of the players will be no different to their opponents. “I think a lot of guys just want to play well on that day, not necessarily thinking we need to win the flag,” he said. “We’re confident in our own game, but I don’t know if [beating Altona in the semi-final] separates us heaps from the competition because it’s much tighter this year,” he said. “Finals is what you play footy for.” Lance Jenkinson

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Well done to Point Cook Centrals on their historic grand final win last Saturday at Avalon Airport Oval. The club has come back from the brink, to now be headed to division two in 2019. The mistakes of the past should be the guiding light into a new era for the club, which has gone through a metamorphosis in the past two years. The truth is, the workload will increase on the committee and the workers around the club because the bar has been raised. There is time to celebrate and that is well deserved, then the new ball game starts. ■ The other Point Cook football team, the Bulldogs, did the impossible, defeating Yarraville Seddon Eagles in the division two grand final last weekend. What a fairytale finish to the club’s first season in the WRFL, knocking over the previously unbeaten Eagles. President Ivo Havard – no stranger to club success in the west – and his hard-working committee have had their decision to leave the VAFA vindicated in the best possible way, with a premiership cup. Senior coach Ian Denny, in his fifth year at the club, is a smart football operator and has built great support on and off the field. Whether the club takes the giant leap to division one is yet to be ratified but I hope it does, as I believe it will be a strong force in the future of the competition. ■ The first season of senior women’s football in the WRFL saw the all-conquering Manor Lakes team rightly crowned premiers, defeating a gallant Caroline Springs in the grand final under lights at Avalon Airport Oval. The conditions were not the best but the women gave it their all in the biting cold to finish off a historic season. The competition will blossom on the back of the growing participation and interest.

Altona’s preliminary pain By Lance Jenkinson There was total devastation at the end of another season for Altona in the Western Region Football League division 1. For the second time in three years, the Vikings have been eliminated by Hoppers Crossing at the preliminary final stage. In 2016, the Vikings lost to Hoppers by nine points on the penultimate weekend of the season, but on that occasion they went into the game as underdogs. This one was more of a bitter pill to swallow, as the Vikings went down to Hoppers by just three points at the Williamstown Cricket Ground on Saturday, leaving their finals goal unfulfilled following a straight sets exit after finishing the season as minor premiers. In absolutely terrible conditions, with the wind sweeping off the bay and rain bucketing down, it was always going to be a close, low scoring preliminary final with one team to be the hard luck story. Unfortunately for Altona fans, who also had to endure the shock of missing out on the finals

last season on the back of a one-point round 18 loss to St Albans, preliminary final history repeated as their team could not get the job done against Hoppers in a cut-throat final. Altona coach Saade Ghazi is always honest in his assessment, but cut his team some slack on this occasion. In a struggle of a game where only six goals were kicked with Hoppers victorious 30 to 27, Ghazi felt there was little to separate the sides over the course of the four quarters outside of a bit of luck with the bounce of the ball. “It’s disappointing, but I can’t fault the way the boys had a go,” Ghazi said. “It was just a real nasty day to play footy and both sides worked hard and had a crack. “It was three goals each and a lot of rushed behinds, so it could’ve gone either way, but it was Hoppers’ this time.” Ghazi was understandably flat after the game. He delivered one of his toughest post game speeches because he knows how hard the side worked all season to get itself into a position to be challenging not only for the finals, but the

48 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 19, 2018

premiership. “I waited five minutes before I spoke to them,” Ghazi said. “There wasn’t a lot I could say, but I just told them I was proud of their efforts and that it could have gone either way. “It was more of a toss of the coin with the way the conditions were. “They had a go and there’s no issues there.” Jayden Post, who kicked two of Altona’s three goals, was one of the stand out players on the ground. He was a forward target for two quarters and a defensive pillar for the other two quarters. Joel Magnabosco, Kevin Johnson and Josh MacDonald were the Vikings to impress, not only against Hoppers Crossing, but in both finals. Ghazi has not looked beyond 2018 because he felt his team was a chance to make it to the grand final this season. He will hold talks with the club in the coming weeks that will determine his coaching future. “It will depend on the new president and new committee,” Ghazi said.

Omar Abou-Zeid pulls in the mark for Altona on Saturday. (Damjan Janevski)

■ You would have forgiven the Hoppers Crossing senior players if they were looking for a solarium to do their post match recovery rather than the icy waters of Williamstown beach last Saturday afternoon. The Warriors won a close fought slog against the Altona Vikings at Point Gellibrand in challenging conditions. The low scoring encounter (3.9 (27) - 3.12 (30) was indicative of the weather more than the skills of the two teams. The grand final between Hoppers Crossing and Deer Park looks a one-sided affair but sport history is littered with the casualties of supposedly unbeatable teams.

Point Cook’s epic premiership win over Eagles It was three cheers for Point Cook and three years of tears for Yarraville Seddon after the Western Region Football League division 2 grand final. The Bulldogs produced a gigantic upset with a seven-point victory in an epic season decider at Avalon Airport Oval on Sunday, consigning the Eagles to a heartbreaking third consecutive grand final defeat. With the Bulldogs having been on the receiving end of two heavy defeats to Yarraville Seddon in the home-and-away rounds and a semi-final loss two weeks earlier, few gave them a shot of winning the David versus Goliath grand final. Bulldogs coach Ian Denny was a believer, though – and so were his players. “We always thought we were a chance,” Denny said. “We kept believing … we only had to beat them once.” What an epic grand final it turned out to be. After Point Cook had skipped away to a

34-point lead 10 minutes into the second quarter, Yarraville Seddon reeled in the margin to a more manageable 10 points by half-time. From that point on, it was a decider that had everyone on the edge of their seats. The momentum swings were constant. Yarraville Seddon made Point Cook pay for its inefficiency in attack early in the third quarter, drawing level after goals to Matthew Taylor and Jesse Varsamakis. Then Point Cook wrestled the game back on to its terms with goals in quick succession to Matthew Poland and Alex Grigg. The Bulldogs had ramped up their defensive pressure to the levels they were producing in the early stages of the match. But they wasted a number of scoring opportunities, finishing with 2.6 for the third quarter, so you had to wonder if that would come back to haunt them when Jack Hargreaves goaled for Yarraville Seddon before three-quarter time to cut the margin to 10.

It was grand final heartbreak again for Yarraville-Seddon. (Marco De Luca)

The fourth quarter was full of tension. The Eagles were doing all the attacking, but they could not find a way past Point Cook defensive mainstays Nick Weir, Todd Caulfield, Jed Eastwood and captain Mason Kip. With the scoreboard stuck on a three-point

margin in Point Cook’s favour, the game was crying out for a match-winner. Up stepped Bulldog veteran full forward Kirk Heberle. He gathered the ball in the forward pocket, sidestepped a tired Yarraville Seddon defender and snapped around the corner for what would be a game-sealing third goal. Jessi Lampi claimed the Rex Swann Medal for best-on-ground. Point Cook’s first senior WRFL premiership was won in its inaugural season in the league. The Bulldogs transferred their seniors from the Victorian Amateur Football Association in the off-season. Denny believes this is just the start of something big for Point Cook. “There’s a massive amount of kids coming through this club,” he said. “In five years time, there’s going to be an absolute juggernaut coming at the Western Region Football League. Lance Jenkinson

Bulldogs break the drought By Lance Jenkinson Footscray has ridden the bumps all the way to the Lacrosse Victoria men’s state league premiership. The Bulldogs were delivered severe body blows during the finals series with injuries to two star players, but first year coach Darren Nicholas had them remain focused, applied a next man up mentality and came through to end five years of late season heartache in claiming their first title since 2013. The knee injury that ruled Australian captain Chris Plumb for the whole finals and a hamstring injury to the team’s top goal thrower Kane Mollison before the grand final could have derailed the Bulldogs in their quest for that elusive premiership, but they found a way in September, completing a stellar season with a 9-8 win over western suburbs rivals Williamstown in a thrilling grand final at Angliss Reserve on Saturday. Bulldogs playing president Tim Lane was ecstatic to see his club return to the premiership dais. “It’s the pinnacle of why we play,” he said. “It’s hard to describe how it feels. “I don’t think it’s fully sunk in yet.” The unavailability of Plumb and Mollison robbed Footscray of two elite players. For starters, Plumb’s leadership is invaluable, but he is also a key mover of the ball and involved on the attacking end, be it as a set up player or a finisher. With 35 goals to his name, Mollison’s goal scoring power is feared by defences, so the Bulldogs needed to find another avenue to goal. Despite the missing stars, Footscray just got on with the job with a minimum of fuss. “We knew that whoever was picked on the day was going to be able to perform,” Lane said. It was a neck and neck grand final from start to finish. Williamstown led by a goal at quarter-time, but Footscray levelled it up by half-time. Both teams scored two goals in the third period to make it 8-8 entering the fourth. It would take just one goal in the final quarter to secure Footscray the premiership. The Bulldogs players were overjoyed at the final whistle. They have endured so much heartbreak since their 2013 premiership that it has almost been cruel. The Bulldogs failed to make the grand final last year after going 18-0 in the regular season. The shield is heading back to Footscray for the first time since 2013. (Mark Wilson) They lost consecutive grand finals to Williamstown in 2015 and 2016. Lawerson, an Australian representative, has with three goals. It was part of a run of three grand final losses an insatiable appetite to win. His brother, Michael, showed tremendous after losing to Surrey Park in 2014. “He was ruthless on the ground balls and courage to play the grand final with a “It’s been a while,” Lane said. when we had to defend he got back hard,” Lane broken hand.

which he was able to stop,” Lane said. “He was massive for us.” Spare a thought for Williamstown, who were one goal away from a rare fourth consecutive premiership. The Fearons have built a dynasty over the past three seasons and you can bet they will be back jostling it out at the pointy end of next season.

Heptathlete makes her mark It has been a landmark year in the career of heptathlete Celeste Mucci. The 19-year-old from Altona took enormous steps towards her dream of competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. She represented the Australian open age team for the first time at a major event, competing in the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, and was one of the standouts on the Australian team at the IAAF World U20 Championships in Finland. Mucci is delighted to see her hard work pay off. “The goal is always to get better and better,” she said. “To see the improvement coming along during the season, it makes me want to keep going and keep improving.” Mucci’s effort to get a gig to represent Australia at the Commonwealth Games is her proudest moment so far. The Williamstown Athletics Club representative will never forget the thrill of competing at a home games.

More importantly, the rookie was not out of place, only just missing out on a medal. She recorded a personal best score of 5915 to finish fourth. “To compete at Gold Coast was great. It was one of my favourite competitions so far.” The best of the best heptathletes in Mucci’s age group converged on Tampere in Finland for the under 20 world championships. Two years ago, Mucci finished a creditable 17th, but she had improved vastly since then because of her extra training, experience in competitions and natural progression. Her fifth-placed finish at this year’s event was in line with her upwards career trajectory. “It was such a good improvement from two years ago,” Mucci said. “It shows how far I’ve come, so I was really happy with that.” Mucci also demonstrated her leadership skills. The Altona Little Athletics Centre product was co-captain of the Australian team and wore the honour with pride.

Mucci has enjoyed a break and is beginning preparations with coach Darren Clark for a big summer season. Her aim is to continue improving across all seven events that make up the heptathlon. “Next year is set up so I’ll be in really good form for 2020 trials,” she said. “That’s been a goal for such a long time and we’re planning towards that.” Mucci is the September nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star award. The award, hosted by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club and Star Weekly Weekly, recognises young athletes from the western suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at state and/ or national levels. Mucci will receive $1000, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, and other prizes to assist her in achieving her sporting goals. Lance Jenkinson

By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown has suffered a cruel elimination from the Victorian Football League finals. The Seagulls were centimetres away from playing in this year’s grand final, but fell by a point to Box Hill Hawks in a heart-stopping preliminary at Stannards Stadium on Sunday. Seagulls forward Jaylon Thorpe had a chance to win the game with a set shot moments before the final siren, but his shot skewed across the face of goal and through for a behind. Seagulls coach Andrew Collins was quick to point out to his team post game that Thorpe’s shot was not the reason why his team lost. “He feels incredible responsibility,” Collins said. “As I spoke to the group afterwards, we missed goals in the first quarter, we missed goals in the second and third quarters, we dropped marks, we had little moments. “As a key forward, you’re probably going to have kicks after the siren to win the game again, some you’ll win, some you’ll lose, but it’s not your responsibility for this game.” It was gut-wrenching loss for Williamstown. The Seagulls have lost three consecutive preliminary finals since they won the flag in 2015. “A couple of inches and we might’ve been singing a different tune,” Collins lamented. “It just shows how hard they are to win.” Williamstown’s day got off to the worst possible start. Veteran defender Peter Faulks injured his quadriceps in the warm up and had to be replaced by Tom Schnerring. Schnerring was serviceable for the Seagulls, but was not a like-for-like replacement that would have been desired. Despite the setback, Williamstown hit the field with purpose, opening up a nine-point quarter-time lead. However the Seagulls failed to capitalise on a number of chances and gifted Box Hill a goal with a turnover. It was enough to keep the Hawks interested and they came out firing in the second term to have scores locked on 41 apiece at half-time. An arm wrestle ensued in the third term with the Hawks taking a five-point lead into three-quarter time before extending the lead to as much as 10 at the eight-minute mark. Goals to Willie Wheeler and Michael Gibbons brought the Seagulls back to within a kick, but Thorpe could not complete the comeback as the Hawks held on by the barest of margins. Despite falling one game short of the grand final again, Collins was proud of the year, particularly after a number of changes to the squad in the off season. “It’s just enormous what this group went through this year and how they came together,” he said. “It’s just really sad we lost by a point, but

Hockey

Footscray’s remarkable season has drawn to a premature close in the Hockey Victoria women’s premier league. The Bulldogs fell one game short of a grand final appearance after being ousted in a 5-1 defeat to Mentone in the preliminary final at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Saturday. Monica Singh was the lone goalscorer for the Bulldogs, but their defence was powerless to stop Mentone from piling on the goals.

Soccer

Altona Magic will be out to put the finishing touches on an incredible 50th anniversary season when it meets Dandenong City in the National Premier League 2 grand final at Broadmeadows Valley Park on Saturday. The Magic, champions of the west conference, will face City, champions on the east conference, to determine which side is the best in NPL 2 in 2018. Meanwhile, Altona North went down 2-1 to Craigieburn City in the state league 4 playoffs at Grange Reserve on Saturday.

that’s the reality of it and we don’t get a chance to play next week.” Ben Cavarra, Gibbons and Brett Bewley were the standouts across the midfield for Williamstown, while Joel Tippett, Jake Greiser and Brayden Monk stood tall in defence. Wheeler, Sam Dunell and Nick Rodda kicked two goals apiece. In the week that Gibbons took out his second J.J. Liston Trophy for best player in the VFL, Collins made one more plea to AFL recruiters

to consider taking him at the draft later this year. “For him to elevate his game to another level this season and win a second Liston medal, on top of his Frank Johnson Medal [best player in the VFL representative team], on top of his best player medal in the grand final in 2015, it shows incredible resilience and bravery to come back,” Collins said. “We’re begging AFL clubs to take a chance on him because they will get rewarded 10 fold.”

Point Cook Centrals claimed its first senior premiership with a 25-point grand final win over Wyndham Suns in the Western Region Football League division 3. Manor Lakes was the inaugural champions of the WRFL senior women’s, thrashing Caroline Springs by 51 points in the big dance.
