Champ draws on a fighting spirit World champion boxer Sylvia Scharper believes her father would be proud if he could see her now. After losing her dad as a teenager, the Footscray boxer channelled her rage into something positive and processed her grief in the ring. She has been immortalised in a film, Relentless: The Sylvia Scharper Story Story, which premieres next week. ■ Full story: Page 8

Call to open hospital site Open space and affordable housing must be high on the agenda for future redevelopment of the Footscray Hospital site, according to Maribyrnong council and residents. Star Weekly last month reported the outdated 290-bed Footscray Hospital could cease operation by 2025 under a $1.5 billion state government election pledge to build a new 504-bed hospital on the carpark opposite Victoria University’s Footscray Park campus. The move could help open up the existing

site, which covers more than five hectares – making it a prime target for developers. Maribyrnong council has identified the hospital’s likely move as a chance to create more open space in an area struggling to cater for a rapidly growing population. The council has written to Health Minister Jill Hennessy expressing its “strategic requirements” for a new municipal open space in the Footscray Hospital precinct. The push has been welcomed by nearby resident Caroline Hardy, who helped spearhead the creation of a small pocket park on the site

of the former council depot adjacent to the hospital. Stage two works on the park have been stalled since 2015 because of concerns about contamination at the site, a former quarry and landfill. She said residents were encouraged by the council’s approach to open and green spaces. “We are certainly very keen to see this commitment fulfilled,” she said. Labor has pledged to invest $35 million to buy or re-purpose 25 small pockets of land in built-up suburbs to create new parks where there is a lack of public open spaces.

Maribyrnong mayor Martin Zakharov said Footscray was crying out for more open space and the hospital site offered an obvious outlet. “I think there is a good chance we could come out ahead here in terms of open space,” he said. Kate Breen, spokeswoman for affordable housing lobby group HousingAIM, said redevelopment of the Footscray Hospital site should include affordable housing. “It is critical any future residential redevelopment … include a significant proportion of affordable housing for lower-income households,” she said.

A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

OUT AND ABOUT

It’s been a pleasure to serve this City as Councillor for ten years and I am honoured to take on the role of Mayor. I thank my fellow Councillors for electing me and to Cr Cuc Lam for all the work she’s done in the past year. Our City faces a number of challenges – catering for our growth, managing congestion on our roads, encouraging more sustainable transport options, and obtaining the best outcomes from major infrastructure projects in our municipality. On 28 November, we will consult with residents about some of the challenges and recommendations the community have regarding rates and valuations by facilitating a Community Forum. Valuation experts and Council officers will be present to guide discussion. More information is available on our website.

This summer, in addition to our Festive Season program, we are excited to share with you the new all-abilities play space at Footscray Park. This is set to become a favourite with the kids who can enjoy a range of play options such as a sensory play section and water play area. For the latest information on what’s happening in our City follow us on Facebook or visit our website. I look forward to working with the community vision to create a City that is vibrant, diverse and striving for a sustainable future. Mayor Cr Martin Zakharov

MY VIEW The City of Maribyrnong has a wonderful richness of cultural diversity. 40% of our people were born overseas and together we speak more than 80 languages.

COUNCIL MEETINGS Nov Friday 30, 8.00am – Inner Melbourne Action Plan Implementation Committee Dec Tuesday 4, 4.30pm – Enterprise Maribyrnong Special Committee Meetings are held at the Maribyrnong Council Offices, corner Hyde and Napier Streets, Footscray. Agendas are available via Council’s website the Friday before a meeting at www.maribyrnong.vic.au/meetings.

Council sees this diversity as an opportunity, with migrants being a great resource and source of creativity and innovation. That is why I moved a Council Motion that Maribyrnong become a member of the world wide Intercultural Cities Programme (ICC). This was unanimously supported and in October we publicly signed the document at a bilingual story time session in Braybrook, celebrating cultural diversity and Council’s commitment to promoting inclusivity. We will use the ICC tools to review our policies through an intercultural lens and develop comprehensive strategies to manage diversity positively. We will encourage more mixing and interaction between diverse groups, leading to increased trust and social cohesion. This will help to prevent conflicts and violence and make the city attractive for people and investors alike. Cr Mia McGregor Yarraville Ward

New heights for Douglas Parade By Goya Dmytryshchak Plans have been lodged for the first six-storey residential and retail development in Williamstown’s Douglas Parade. Holtfield Pty Ltd has applied to Hobsons Bay council to demolish the single-storey commercial building at 66 Douglas Parade, on the corner of Stevedore Street, to make way for the development. Plans show retail on the ground floor, 10 dwellings on the upper five levels and basement parking for 20 vehicles.

A traffic report prepared for the applicant by TTM Consulting states that loading and rubbish collection would occur on the ground floor next to a car lift, accessed from Becroft Mews. A report prepared for the building’s owners by Bryce Raworth conservation and heritage consultancy states the demolition of the existing building, formerly Burke and Co. Drapers, would pose no issues from a heritage perspective. A report prepared for the applicant by Matrix Planning Australia states the Williamstown

Activity Centre, which is predominantly one to two storeys in building height, appears to be underdeveloped. “The proposal represents perhaps the first of more dense developments that would be expected to occur in the future,” it states. “At six storeys, the proposal is relatively conservative in terms of what would likely be expected to occur in a major activity centre.” It states the building’s proposed design is “innovative and contemporary and does not attempt to mimic heritage values”.

Hobsons Bay council has pledged $5000 to a campaign calling on the federal government to reverse its decision to halve the number of asylum seekers who are eligible for support through the Status Resolution Support Services (SRSS) program. Melbourne’s west has the highest rate of people seeking asylum in Victoria and advocates believe they will be plunged into further disadvantage by the cuts. SRSS supports people who are living in the community on temporary visas, or who are in community detention while their application for refugee status is assessed. It provides a basic living allowance of $35 a day and access to health services. The Department of Home Affairs has withdrawn the support from about 1500 people seeking asylum. Hobsons Bay mayor Jonathon Marsden said the council was calling on the government to urgently reinstate the support. “These changes will significantly impact on a number of people seeking asylum that live in Hobsons Bay as well as increasing demand for emergency assistance from our already overburdened local community organisations,” he said. “We are urging the Australian government to reverse the assessment changes to the SRSS program, in line with its obligations under the Human Rights Charter, and provide adequate income and case management support. “We also ask that the federal government increase the level of job seeker support currently provided to people seeking asylum.” Goya Dmytryshchak and Benjamin Millar

Teacher Rodd Issell said the school community included pupils of Maltese, German, English, Irish, Italian, Somali, Ethiopian, Zimbabwean, Ghanaian, Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai descent. Children received a visit from former student Acholly Arow, a Sudanese refugee who now has a double degree in media and politics and has represented Australia in a beauty pageant.

Help Council fight the war on waste

To help us reach this, we are reviewing our current Waste Minimisation Strategy, and are inviting the community give us feedback on current waste practices and share their ideas for future services.

Could you be a puppy carer?

For more information and to have your say, please visit: www.yourcityyourvoice.com.au Consultation closes Sunday 16 December 2018. www.maribyrnong.vic.gov.au

Vision Australia is in urgent need of volunteer puppy carers to help nurture and care for future Seeing Eye Dogs.

• Help to socialise them in everyday situations.

Passionate Seeing Eye Dogs carer Kylie Saunder knows all about being a volunteer.

The only cost to a puppy carer is time and affection, because the cost of all equipment, food, dog healthcare and training is covered by Seeing Eye Dogs. Ongoing support will be provided from a Puppy Development Trainer.

“Applying for and becoming a puppy carer has been one of the best things I’ve ever done,” Kylie reports. “I love dogs and being able to take the puppy wherever I go, as part of their training, is amazing.” The Seeing Eye Dogs Puppy Carer program requires volunteers to care for a puppy in their home, from the age of eight weeks until they are about 12 to 15 months of age. A vast majority of carers enjoy it so much they stay with the program and continually look after new pups. A puppy carer can provide full-time care or, if a shorter time is more suitable, it can be for a minimum of six months.

• Teach basic skills such as toilet training, sitting and walking nicely on the lead.

Potential puppy carers are invited to an information session where they will meet adorable Seeing Eye Dogs’ puppies, hear from puppy carers and learn how to make a life-changing difference to someone who is blind or has low vision. When: 6-7pm, Thursday, November 22. Where: Seeing Eye Dogs HQ, 17 Barrett Street, Kensington.

The puppy carer’s role is to:

• Provide a loving home and to nurture a Seeing Eye Dogs puppy.

A champion of change

New program on the money

By Benjamin Millar Women’s football pioneer Susan Alberti has delivered a massive kick-start to women’s sport in the west through a $1 million endowment to Victoria University. A businesswoman and philanthropist with a long association with the university and the Western Bulldogs, Dr Alberti has made the donation to establish The Susan Alberti Women in Sport Chair, a position that will be taken up by Victoria University’s Professor Clare Hanlon. Dr Alberti – the 2018 Victorian of the Year – was a driving force behind the push to establish the AFLW women’s competition in 2017, leading to her appointment as the competition’s inaugural ambassador. She told Star Weekly that getting more women involved in sport would have a major impact on improving their health and wellbeing. “That really is what triggered my interest, getting women out there and being active,” she said. “I would really encourage women to get involved in sport, in my time women just didn’t do that and we didn’t have the role models they have today.” Dr Alberti said the runaway success of AFLW shows there was an appetite for more pathways into sport for women. “The thing I like is you have so many families coming to the game, and these little girls wearing the numbers of their favourite women players.” Dr Alberti said her $1 million donation will also help fund a Women in Sport research program, building on Victoria University’s existing sports science involvement. She said VU’s location in the west, existing community ties and strong sporting focus

made it the most attractive recipient for her donation. “I believe in what VU are doing and having sat down with them and worked this through I’m very excited by what it will mean.” Professor Hanlon said she was humbled and

excited by the opportunity to take up the role as the inaugural chair. The announcement comes as VU launches its long-term strategy, which aims to champion women in sport and build partnerships with international sport universities.

The tools for maintaining financial independence are one of the keys to helping end violence against women, according to a leading women’s support service. Women’s Information and Referral Exchange (WIRE) and UniSuper are co-presenting a Women’s Financial Empowerment Seminar at Victoria University during the 16 Days of Activism campaign. The free seminars for women will highlight some of the financial aspects of an abusive relationship and focus on improving women’s independence and decision-making around money. WIRE chief executive Julie Kun said it was important for women to stay involved in decision-making around money in a relationship. “We want to enable them to talk about money and have the ability to take control of their own finances,” she said. “Money is often a taboo topic, but we want to give them that confidence in decision-making.” Ms Kun said women who have grown up in a household in which men controlled the money and spending may end up in situations where the pattern continues, leaving them vulnerable. The Women’s Financial Empowerment Seminars will be held at VU at Metrowest from noon-2pm Wednesday, November 28 and the city campus on Thursday, November 6. Benjamin Millar

Dad inspires a champion boxer By Goya Dmytryshchak

‘‘

I remembered that grief … I think it really - Sylvia Scharper pushed me

’’

(Damjan Janevski)

If You Could See Me Now – that’s the song world champion boxer Sylvia Scharper thinks of when she enters the ring and remembers her father. The Footscray boxer lost her dad when she was a teenager after he went into hospital to await a heart transplant and experienced complications. “I was pretty lost for a good 10 years,” she said. She started doing Thai boxing, which reminded her of sparring in the backyard with her father, before switching to boxing. “It ended up being a way that I processed my grief,” Scharper said. “Maybe … it was a bit of rage gone into something productive because I felt pretty robbed. “When you fight, you’re pretty vulnerable and your character and your strength and your self-belief all come out in that process – and it was sort of then that I realised how stuck I was. “Dad was my No.1 fan so I kind of had to build myself up again on my own.” Scharper, 36, has been immortalised in Relentless: The Sylvia Scharper Story Story, a film from Welcome Stranger Productions directed by Altona Meadows’ Aaron Ellis and produced by Taylors Lakes’ Lester Ellis jnr. It follows their documentary about Graeme “Porky” Brooke, Stolen Glory: The Tale of Porky Brooke, which has been acquired by SBS. In 2015, Scharper had her first shot at world title glory, but fell short to Marnelle Verano of the Philippines. Believing Scharper was a world champion in the making, Aaron Ellis started following her with a film camera. In March last year, she went up against Queenslander Kori Farr for the Women’s

International Boxing Association world bantamweight title. The fight resulted in a draw – which Scharper described as another of the most devastating moments in her life. Ellis had planned to stop filming after the fight, but decided a draw wasn’t a good note to end on – so he kept the camera rolling. The week before Scharper had another attempt at the world title, Ellis showed her footage of the draw to jog her memory.

“I saw how emotional I was and I think it made a big difference in how I came out to that fight because I remembered that grief – I was devastated,” Scharper said. “I think it really pushed me, reminded me.” Last December, Scharper beat Thailand’s Rungnapha Kaewkrachang to become WIBA’s super-flyweight world champion. “I bawled like a baby when I won because it was the culmination of 10 years of work,”

Scharper said. “I’m only competing against myself so it’s mental warfare over myself. “I always feel like my dad’s with me. I think if he saw the determination with which I’ve applied myself to something that I probably wasn’t that suited to, he would be really proud of me … I think of him every fight.” Relentless: The Sylvia Scharper Story will premier on Wednesday, November 28, at Yarraville’s Sun Theatre.

Flesh-eating ulcers found in west By Aisha Dow/The Age Victoria’s flesh-eating ulcer epidemic may have spread into the heart of Melbourne, with two infections confirmed last week in residents of the western suburbs. This year has brought a record number of Buruli ulcer cases and the warmer months are expected to see a further spike in reports. Until recently, the nasty ulcers, which can spread to the bone if untreated, have been mostly contained to the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas, where there have been 163 cases this year alone.

There have been 17 previous cases in the west, but all have been linked back to travel to the Bellarine or Mornington peninsulas. Seddon resident Zhoe Jess is one of the new victims, diagnosed last week after living for months with a growing lump near her elbow that doctors, specialists and a barrage of expensive tests were unable to identify. “I went to three different GPs and they were just calling me an enigma,” the communications manager said. The mother-of-two is certain she has not travelled to impacted areas in the past year, and has been unable to pinpoint the moment

when she might have caught the infection, via an insect bite or cut. Ms Jess said she noticed a small lump above her left elbow about six months ago. In July it grew significantly and began showing signs of an infection, appearing red and growing hot. Antibiotics had no effect and by the time she was booked in with a surgeon to have the lump drained, it was the size of a small lemon. “It was like another elbow above my elbow,” she said. The saga continued after surgery, with Ms Jess bedridden for 10 days suffering nausea and dizziness. Then the two holes that had been

used to drain the lump started inexplicably growing. The holes were stitched up, but the stitches burst, revealing a new infection. Ms Jess said it wasn’t until she asked doctors if they were sure she didn’t have the flesh-eating bacteria, that a swab for the Buruli ulcer was taken. It came back positive. As health authorities grapple with how to contain cases, experts forecast that within two years Victoria would be experiencing 500 cases a year, an increase from just 32 cases in 2010. Ms Jess wants to ensure doctors and the public are better informed about the possibility of infection.

A head start for Scouts He said kayaking provided a good alternative physical activity for those who didn’t enjoy competitive sport. The group also has canoes, sail boats and motorised rescue craft. It welcomes new members and young adults interested in becoming Scout leaders. Details: paul.detering@gmail.com. Goya Dmytryshchak

Sour note for Greens candidate By Benjamin Millar The Greens candidate for Footscray in this Saturday’s state election has apologised for singing offensive lyrics about domestic violence, date rape and drug use when he was a singer in a hip-hop group. Performing under the pseudonym FatGut, Angus McAlpine was the frontman and lyricist for Melbourne rap duo Broken Aesthetiks in 2010, when he was 21. Mr McAlpine told Star Weekly he was ashamed of his mistakes in his early 20s when immersed in a culture of “toxic masculinity”,

but he has since turned his life around. “I was involved in hip-hop culture and a workplace culture that was very insular and I was on a path of self-destruction,” he said. “It doesn’t reflect the person I am or the values I have now. I apologise completely and unreservedly for any offence.” Greens state party leader Samantha Ratnam said Mr McAlpine had apologised and taken full responsibility for his comments. “That is something we need to see more of … if we are to see global cultural change in toxic masculinity, we need more men to front up.” Labor candidate for Footscray Katie Hall

denied her party had provided material about Mr MacAlpine’s past to the media. She said the Greens should be disendorsing Mr McAlpine. “They have one standard for everyone else and a different standard for themselves,” she said. Meanwhile, the Greens are facing a battle to retain Huong Truong’s western metropolitan seat following the release of preferential flows showing most parties preferencing away from their party. Analysis shows Aussie Battlers Party leader Stuart O’Neill could nab one of the five seats by securing as little as 0.3 per cent of the primary vote.

Going with the flow A night of songs and spoken word about how the waterways of Melbourne’s west have changed will premiere in Newport this month. Artists Marita Dyson and Stuart Flanagan, performing as The Orbweavers, will present a concert titled Newer Volcanics. Dyson said waterways featured included the Birrarung, Maribyrnong River, Stony Creek, Skeleton Creek and Kororoit Creek. “The beginning of this project was back in 2016,” she said. “Stuart and I got a Creative Fellowship from the State Library of Victoria to research Melbourne waterways and to write a suite of songs about them, so this is the outcome of that research. “We were able to look at early maps and early records for our winter waterways and listen to oral histories, and during that time we met a lot of other writers and researchers who also

shared their knowledge with us. And then we spent a lot of time walking along those waterways.” Dyson, who grew up in Yarraville, said it had been a labour of love. “We really love the waterways of the west,” she said. “They’re really important to the community and they’re important to the first peoples of Australia, and really we wanted to kind of sing love songs to those creeks and also to recognise that they’ve remained strong through time even though there have been lots of environmental impacts on the waterways.” Newer Volcanics is on November 29 and 30 at 8pm at The Substation in Newport.

• Over half the schools in the marginal Frankston seat received funding but only three school developments in the Williamstown electorate did. • The Labor Government also spent more than $600 million in the marginal Shepparton seat held by Suzanna Sheed. • And yet they could not find money to build a pedestrian overpass at Yarraville or a regional sports complex on the Mobil land on the corner of Kororoit Creek Rd and Maddox Rd in Williamstown. • Safe seats get neglected while marginal seats have money thrown at them. How is that fair? • Labor happily wasted $82.3 million on a skyrail near the Mobil refinery in Altona North and $1.1 billion tearing up the East-West Link contract. • This Government is disconnected with the Williamstown electorate.

Maribyrnong’s alarming poverty By Benjamin Millar and Goya Dmytryshchak Maribyrnong remains one of the most poverty-stricken areas in Victoria, with one in four people living in Braybrook and Maidstone living in poverty, according to a new report. The Every suburb, Every town – Poverty in Victoria report by the Victorian Council of Social Service found 774,000 Victorians live in poverty, equating to 13.2 per cent of the population. The authors said the poverty estimates were

calculated after housing costs, to give a truer picture of available income for other necessities. “These estimates provide a more sophisticated picture of who experiences poverty, and where they live, than ever before – including their age, gender, disability status, employment, family arrangements, and housing tenure,” they stated. Maribyrnong was found to have 12,000 people, or 17 per cent of people, living in poverty, behind only Hume (22 per cent), Greater Dandenong (21 per cent) and Brimbank (20 per cent).

Hobsons Bay was close to the statewide average with a poverty rate of 13 per cent or 10,400 people living in poverty. Maribyrnong had one of the state’s lowest rates of home ownership, either outright or with a mortgage, at 40 per cent. Of those living in poverty, 53 per cent were women, 14 per cent were aged over 65, 31 per cent had a disability and 59 per cent were people living in families with dependent children. Braybrook and Maidstone had the highest poverty rate at 25 per cent or 3500 people, followed by Footscray at 21 per cent or 2400

people, West Footscray and Tottenham at 15 per cent or 1300 people, Maribyrnong at 14 per cent or 1200 people, Seddon and Kingsville at 11 per cent or 800 people, then Yarraville at 9 per cent or 1000 people. More than half (53 per cent) of people in Hobsons Bay were living in their own homes. Of these, 56 per cent were women, 17 per cent were over 55, and 32 per cent had a disability. Altona North and Brooklyn had the highest poverty rate at 18 per cent, or 2000 people living in poverty, closely followed by Laverton at 17 per cent or 1100 people.

Leaving on a high note A Williamstown woman who pioneered Victoria’s first singing group for people with Parkinson’s is retiring from her role heading up the Williamstown ParkinSong group. Heather Jobling was diagnosed with the progressive neurological disease in 2006. In 2013, she underwent brain surgery to reduce her reliance on medication, which she was taking every three hours. Ms Jobling started Williamstown ParkinSong in 2012 with just herself, her husband Michael and three others. “There are now nine groups throughout Victoria and there are other groups of people who want to start. “We were told that it’s the first of its kind in the world,” she said. Parkinson’s can result in speech and swallowing difficulties, which in turn leads to less conversation and social contact with others. Ms Jobling said a member of the group

who had lost the ability to speak had started to be able to sing. “She’s been coming faithfully and loyally and she would mime the words, and then one day she found herself just being able to sing some of the words,” Ms Jobling said. Renowned conductor Doug Heywood and his wife Alexandra Cameron lead the group, which meets monthly at Williamstown’s Holy Trinity parish centre. The group is seeking a new volunteer co-ordinator able to provide 15-20 hours of support over two or three days a month, including the third Thursday of the month from 1.30-5pm. The co-ordinator will need to be available on December 20 from 2-5pm. For details, call Parkinson’s Victoria on 8809 0400 or Heather or Michael Jobling on 0406 386 615.

Labor gives birth to support plan By Benjamin Millar

Industrial action for Pier Street Altona’s Pier Street will be transformed for a night as part of the Art and Industry Festival. “A Night in Altona” will include art installations, live music and the screening of short films about industry in “container cinemas” at Logan Reserve. The films, made by local filmmakers will provide glimpses inside the O-I Glass factory (formerly ACI) at Spotswood, Link Pumps in Williamstown, Anna Kolusniewski’s costume studio in South Kingsville and Two Birds Brewing in Spotswood. The historic Altona Homestead will open its doors for an exhibition about industry. At dusk, a large-scale photographic installation by artist Zoya Martin, titled Night Shift, will begin to glow. The Art and Industry Festival, running until November 25, celebrates the western suburbs’ industrial heritage. A Night in Altona will be at Logan Reserve, Pier Street, and surrounds on Saturday, November 24 from 6-10pm. For the full festival program, visit artandindustryfestival.com.au.

A century-old Footscray early childhood institution could be transformed into a new centre of early parenting excellence under a $9 million pledge by the Labor government. Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Monday that if Labor was re-elected on Saturday, the new centre – one of seven across the state – will support parents of the 40 babies born every day in the western suburbs. The investment will refurbish Tweddle Child and Family Health Services and help boost services including day stays, longer residential stays and more support at home. Tweddle board chair Dr Nicole Milburn said the urgently needed upgrades will increase capacity to provide residential baby sleep training to parents by more than 40 per cent. Dr Milburn said the project was vital for the future of the 98-year-old service as well as “every struggling mum, dad, baby and toddler” as the booming birth rates put a strain on services. “Vulnerable parents have relied on Tweddle since 1920 to provide urgent support and education,” she said. “We’re delighted to have the opportunity to develop a world-class facility in Footscray that changes the trajectory of parent-infant relationships in the critical first 1000 days.” The centre will support about 690 families a year. Labor has also promised to provide support for a 24-hour sleep specialist hotline for new parents. Families and Children Minister Jenny Mikakos said being able to speak with a reassuring voice in the middle of the night when a baby won’t sleep will make a real difference to families.

Harry’s helping hand By Goya Dmytryshchak Twelve year old Harry Lidyard of Seabrook Primary School has received a Fred Hollows Humanity Award for comforting a bereaved classmate. The award recognised his “compassion, integrity and kindness”. His teacher Michael Newport said he nominated Harry for the award after seeing him console another boy during a wellbeing class. “Once a week, we get a wellbeing teacher coming in and talking to us about different aspects of life and depression and all that kind of stuff, just to get the students to understand the world, in that everyone might be going through something differently and we can’t be judgemental,” Mr Newport said. “In one lesson, a particular kid in the classroom who has had trauma through their family just broke down because of what was being talked about. “Harry … saw him in a bad way and comforted him and easily took him outside … I don’t know what was said but whatever was said was done well. I just thought that was something special that was done without even thinking.” Harry said the class had been discussing feelings when a classmate became emotional. “The teacher said, ‘Put your hand up if something made you sad’, and my friend put his hand up,” he said. “He started talking about it but then I could see in his eyes that he felt really sad about it so I just helped him out. “I talked to him, got a drink with him.” Williamstown North Primary School year 6 pupil Jordan Lawrence was also recognised in the awards. She was honoured for taking care of her prep buddy at lunchtime, helping

Shorten commits to the west By Tate Papworth Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will make the west a personal priority should he become Australia’s next prime minister. Touring the St Albans Leisure Centre last week, Mr Shorten said he’s vested in seeing the west get its fair share. “If we form a federal government I’ll be your prime minister. I do know this area and I’m very committed to seeing the western suburbs in Melbourne get their fair share,” he said. “I’ll have an algebraic formula that’s Australia

plus the west. It just means that whenever we do anything national, I’ll always be interested to see what we’re doing for here.” Mr Shorten said his party has already developed policies for immediate impact. “We are going to have universal pre-school for three and four-year-olds. That will see resources here,” he said. “You’re a growing community with a lot of young families, we are going to properly fund schools. “For places like the St Albans North Primary School, that will literally mean for the next

three years alone, hundreds of thousands of dollars more, more teachers, more electives.” “We’re going to challenge the vested interests in this country and govern Australia for the interests of the people who don’t always have their voices heard.” Mr Shorten toured the leisure centre just one week after the state government rejected the Brimbank council’s application for a $3 million Better Pools grant. “If we win the election … we’ll be in a position to look pretty seriously at the propositions you’ve set,” he said.

“But we won’t leave this particular proposal [leisure centre re-development] to the election. In other words, we’ll give you a clear answer on what we can afford well in advance. “We won’t leave you guessing for long. I like the proposal. If this is what the community is telling me is a very important ask, then we will treat it with the importance you do. “It’s affordable, but not only that, it’s necessary. “I hope you take that as very favourable consideration. We’ll crunch the numbers, but I’m confident we can come to a happy landing.”

Breaking down barriers AFL star Majak Daw has praised the unifying power of sport at an African Summit at Maribyrnong College involving about 150 African-Australian students from across Melbourne’s west. The North Melbourne defender spoke last Wednesday about his journey in 2003 from Sudan to Australia via a refugee camp in Egypt on a refugee visa, recounting challenges including learning English and fighting racism. “When I was growing up and went to school I didn’t fit in, people didn’t accept me for my skin colour,” he said. “I experienced racism and resorted to violence.” Daw said sport offered a way to connect with other people without being judged by his skin. “When I was playing footy or at training I didn’t really feel different to anyone, sport has that ability to bring people together.” Daw was joined by other guest speakers

including WAFL star Libby Birch and young African-Australian professionals and writers, who spoke of their experiences growing up. Newmarket Phoenix Football Club president Abdi Ali spoke about almost being expelled from school in year 12 for fighting as a turning point in his life. “I was lucky to be given a second chance,” he said. “I chose to fully commit myself to make sure I don’t ever repeat such a mistake.” Mr Ali went on to be the dux of his school and study biomedical science at university. He said he helped start the Newmarket Phoenix Football Club after realising the best way to avoid trouble was to get involved in positive activities. Students also enjoyed soccer with Melbourne Victory players, basketball, African cooking and African drumming. Benjamin Millar

Fronting up for Christmas cheer By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay traders are decorating their shopfronts for Christmas and members of the community are able to vote for their favourite window. It’s part of a council initiative called Shops on Show. Mayor Jonathon Marsden said the move aimed to encourage people to discover Hobsons Bay’s outlets and go Christmas shopping locally.

“Why should people have to go see the Myer windows in the city when our innovative traders can put on their own festive and inventive displays,” he said. “Local retailers can dress up their front windows, photograph it and send it to us to post on council’s Facebook and Instagram for the public to vote.” Shops have until this Friday (November 23) to register by emailing business@hobsonsbay. vic.gov.au with their business name, address and contact details.

Photos will be uploaded to the council’s Facebook and Instagram pages by Wednesday November 28 for the community to vote on. Prizes up to $3000 are up for grabs. For more information visit www.hobsonsbay. vic.gov.au/shopsonshow

Maribyrnong’s festive fun The festive season will be bursting with plenty of fun as Maribyrnong counts down the final days to Christmas. Roving performers and choirs will be popping up all around Maribyrnong throughout December, while there will be chances to take Christmas-themed photos with Elf-Yourself cut-out boards in Footscray’s Byron Street Plaza, near the West Footscray library, and near the Sun Theatre in Yarraville. Kids can write and send their letters to Santa at Footscray, West Footscray and Braybrook libraries, popping them into the dedicated post boxes to receive a reply. Three Family Festive Fairs have been planned for Footscray and Yarraville, featuring a live Elf Choir, face-painting and craft activities, along with a chance for photos with Santa on his throne. The fairs will take over Nicholson Street Mall from 9am-noon on Saturday, December 1; Byron Street Plaza from 9am-noon on Saturday,

December 8; and the Yarraville Pop-Up Park from 9am-noon on Saturday, December 15. Braybrook Community Hub will host a Picnic in the Park at Skinner Reserve from 68pm on Friday, December 14.

Cris Ivanidis, owner of Active Audiology in Altona, and his colleague, audiologist Marina Opacak, are offering trials of the latest invisible in-ear hearing aids from Oticon Opn. Cris says audiologists at his clinic have been fitting Opn technology in the behind-theear style for the past 12 months with very consistent results – and now the latest invisible in-ear hearing aids have arrived. “We found, with the behind-the-ear Opn hearing aids, that patients were coming back feeling more confident in conversations in group situations,” Cris explains. “Their speech understanding was greatly improved and listening strain reduced – which meant they didn’t feel exhausted at day’s end. “Just last month, the new invisible in-ear aids were released, using the same amazing technology but for wearing inside the ear. They are so tiny but pack a powerful punch in user features. “The difference with Oticon is the 360-degree sound experience. Traditional hearing devices block out surrounding noise and focus only on what is in front of the user. In contrast,

the Oticon Opn hearing aids collect sounds all around, giving users a more natural and complete hearing experience.” Marina believes finding the right hearing aid is only half the solution. “The other half is finding the right professional who puts people at ease and is technically competent with fine-tuning,” she says. “I see many people who have been fitted with aids from other clinics, only for them to put them in a bedside drawer because of disappointing results. “After a 60-minute appointment, I can re-tune the settings and make the aid feel comfortable and functional.” Active Audiology is one of the few remaining independent clinics in Victoria. Clinicians are free to prescribe all brands of hearing aids without any commercial restrictions. Active Audiology, 10 Harrington Square, Altona. Opens 9am-5pm Monday-Friday.

MY PLACE Altona North’s Jovan Kralevski is a past Hobsons Bay Citizen of the Year for his volunteer work with the Macedonian community, particularly senior citizens. He speaks with Goya Dmytryshchak. I’ve lived here for 55 years. When I came to Australia in 1965, I never moved from this area. This was a new area. When I settled here, there was only my house and two on the corner. But I never changed, I like it in Altona. What do you like about Altona North? I like that it’s a quiet area, first of all. When I came, many factories were around here. I was working 17 years in a factory; I went with the car only three minutes to work. Shops are close, the milk bar was around the corner, then after that came K-mart. The best one is the beach is close here. The people want the beach, the kids in summer time or every Saturday and Sunday. It’s a good area. It’s a good area. It’s a quiet area, no traffic. Good sleeping night-time, not like Millers Road. The other thing is, all my family is living here. In the next street lives my brother. In Chambers Road lives the other brother. What don’t you like? For me, it’s very good. Do you have a favourite restaurant or cafe? I go to Altona, Pier Street, for coffee if I have some guests. I go to lunch in Williamstown or

Altona. Different ones. I never go to only one place. I want the Italian food, the Greek food, the Lebanese food. I change always. You were honoured for your work with the Macedonian community, particularly the elderly. Can you tell me a little bit about what you do? Believe me, I never knew who nominated me. I’m the president of the Macedonian Senior Citizens Club of Hobsons Bay. Every Friday, I go to the community centre at Walker Close. Thirty or 40 people come. I’m the secretary of the Macedonian Federation Western Region. I go everywhere … I sometimes go to the hospital to visit some sick people. That is my hobby. I want to give help to the people because I am becoming old and maybe somebody will help me. Nominations are open for the 2019 Hobsons Bay Citizen of the Year Awards, recognising people for their outstanding contribution to the municipality. Winners will be named at the Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony at Williamstown Town Hall on January 26. Nominees must be at least 18 and Australian citizens who live, work or study in Hobsons Bay. Nominations close at 5pm on Friday, December 7. Forms are available from the Hobsons Bay Civic Centre, local libraries or the council’s website at www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov. au/citizenawards

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir says it’s a good bang for your buck at Batterbing Batterbing is in a Douglas Parade premises that has been home to fish and chips for a long, long time. Decades, I’m guessing. In any case, these days – under its newish name – it’s being run by John McMonagle, whose work we loved so much at Dough! in Newport. His Williamstown location is superior – it’s handily placed for more drop-in and foot traffic. And that’s great – it means more people can enjoy the super work being done by John and his team. The place remains very much an old-school fish and chip shop, with rudimentary dine-in facilities – a bench and stools inside, a few tables and chairs on the footpath outside. But none of that matters. Here be made – and happily consumed – what are, in our opinions and experience, the best fish and chips in the western suburbs. Matched, mind you, by Ebi in Essex Street, Footscray – very different style, equally fine outcome. The Batterbing art starts with chips. Here the potatoes are hand-cut and tumbled – and are wonderful. Real spuds make for hip chips. I go with my never-fail arrangement carried over from the Dough! days – now officially called Combo for 1 ($15, top photograph). Those chips, a handful of tender calamari rings and a nice chunk of juicy, delicious and

But there are burgers – so we take one of them for a run, too. The Lil Jerry Seinfeld – is there some in-joke I’m missing? – is a doozy. Crisp and deeply tanned deep-fried chicken thigh is joined in burger harmony by just the right amount of slaw and mayo in a purple bun. As with all the Batterbing burgers, it comes with a side of those chips – and that makes the $13 entry fee a dead-set bargain. COMBO FOR 1

The veg side for winter, salad side for summer. FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? EM: This is tough, I love all food! King prawns from Australia, a crispy free range roast chicken with rosemary, mussels in garlic broth, butter chicken, chola, gopta and garlic naan, and anything with cacao for dessert. FB: What is your favourite TV food show and who is your favourite TV food person? EM: I have to say Stephanie Alexander because her daughter is my best buddy and her Easter buns are incredible. I love watching Maggie Beer as well. Her Barossa Valley kitchen is incredible. FB: What is your favourite food? EM: Anything sweet minus the gluten, dairy or sugar. I’m into finding ways around refined sugar these days by using coconut sugar, maple syrup and dates. FB: Which 5 people would you most like to invite to dinner? EM: I saw pictures on Facebook of my old film producers at a dinner party with Jimmy Fallon, Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett. Now THAT sounds like a very interesting mix of Hollywood royalty. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? EM: Invest in a really good set of knives. I still have my Victornoix from chef’s school. Sharpen them regularly with a stone. A set of graters from Microplane is a must. Also, if you are cooking a lot, wear a good clog like Dansko as they will save your back and make cooking more comfortable, especially if you have tiled floors. I cannot live without a Vitamix for smoothies and juices. It keeps the fibre of the food. You can also blend soups and make hummus, cheesecake bases, crumbs and nut milks.

BANANA COOKIES

So often people ask me: “What can I make with overripe bananas?” Normally I’d say whack them in a cake, but there are only so many banana cakes one can make! A quicker (and healthier) school lunchbox option is banana and oat cookies, with coconut, ground cinnamon and whatever other little fillers you like – think raisins, dried cranberries and choc chips! I added some chia seeds to mine and – as you can see by the photos – I never can resist a drizzle of dark and white chocolate. There are many easy recipes online, but you can’t beat The Healthy Chef banana and oatmeal cookie recipe at www.thehealthychef.com. Don’t forget, you can freeze overripe bananas to use later!

Pretty as a picture, this residence has been designed with family living as a priority. It has five bedrooms with built-in robes, the main with balcony access located upstairs with a retreat space. Downstairs are a separate living space and a large open-plan living and meals zone, from which doors open to a decked porch and a big backyard kids will love. The updated kitchen is light and bright, with lots of storage, stainless-steel appliances and a brekkie bench. Hardwood flooring, exposed ceiling beams and a brick feature wall offer a design edge without detracting from the friendly tone of the interior styling. The backyard has established grass surrounded by neat gardens. Other inclusions are ducted heating, air-conditioning and carport parking for two cars. Close to everything Williamstown has to offer, this could easily be the one that ticks all the boxes.

Great location and lifestyle potential are obvious drawcards of this modern three-bedroom house. The facade delivers a welcoming first impression, a cream theme with dark trim looking smart paired with neat gardens. Inside, polished timber floorboards run throughout, creating a warm ambience. The lounge is a comfortable space and has a wall air-conditioning unit. The open kitchen, with plenty of timber-toned cupboards, incorporates a cosy meals area. The three bedrooms have built-in robes and large windows. A sunroom could serve well as an additional living zone. At the end of a long side driveway is a tandem garage and big backyard with established grass and low-maintenance gardens. Close to schools, the property has easy access to the West Gate Freeway – or there’s a bus stop out the front for an easy public transport commute.

This beauty delivers charm and character in spades, from the detailed facade and wooden deck verandah right through to the high ceilings and period features within. Solid timber floorboards throughout match the house’s tone perfectly. The streamlined floor plan has three bedrooms off the hallway, one has built-in robes, the other two each have a fireplace. The kitchen has loads of white timber cabinetry and benchtop space. It overlooks a lounge room that features a large fireplace. Outside, neat garden beds frame brick paving, offering a lovely space to sit and enjoy warm evenings. A pathway along the length of the house provides access between front and back yards. Inclusions are air-conditioning and a 1.5kw solar system. This property has approved plans and permits to extend.

A fantastic opportunity for investors is presented here, with this complete complex of four units on the market. Each unit has a comfortable lounge room on entry and two bedrooms with built-in robes. Neat, functional kitchens allow for an incorporated dining space. The toilet is separate from the bathroom. Parking is covered with an allocated single carport for each unit on the shared driveway. Each unit has its own courtyard space. Within walking distance of Vernon street shops and Edwards reserve, the complex is also close to schools and transport.

it to have a walled terrace for entertaining and relaxing in private. East-facing, it’s the perfect spot to have a morning cuppa with the paper and to set up for a weekend barbecue. The living domain, immediately behind the front door, has the same grey carpet and crisp white wall paint capturing today’s colour palette all through. The tiled kitchen, tucked into one corner, has pearl-grey floor tiles, white splashback

tiles, cabinetry in a black-and-white combo, mottled charcoal laminate benches and dishwasher, underbench oven and gas cooktop. Carpeted stairs rise to two fitted bedrooms with soft-grey roller blinds, the same as on all windows. They share an all-white bathroom with a raised vanity basin, modern tapware and a shower-over-bath arrangement. A split-system supplies effective

temperature control, no matter the season, while a gated car space under the building provides secure off-street parking. New owners will be entering Western Bulldogs turf, with Whitten Oval’s training sessions and AFLW matches a two-minute bike ride away. The WeFo address could not be more convenient for shopping, city commuting and freeway access. Carole Levy

Energy customers are seeing their bills head north more and more. But if you do your homework, it’s possible to save more than $450 a year. Energy companies are beginning to offer up to 30 per cent discounts on usage rates when bills are paid on time. One energy company, for example, is offering a “Secure Saver” option that provides a competitive pay-on-time

Smart thinking can help unplug the pain of rising energy bills discount and protects customers from increases in charges for usage and supply for two years.

when you use it. Make sure you negotiate a discount – offers of, say, 30 per cent when you pay on time can mean big savings.

Other things customers can do to avoid paying more for energy include:

2. The cheapest energy is the energy you don’t use. Turn off appliances at the wall, switch off lights when you leave a room, replace old 50W light globes with LED lights, block draughts, close off rooms you’re not using

1. Shop around and get on the right plan for you. Understand how much energy you use and

and choose energy-efficient appliances. 3. Fix your energy rates to beat price rises. Talk turkey with your energy provider – many will reward you for loyalty and maintaining timely payments for long periods. If they won’t negotiate, think about changing companies – and make sure you inform your current provider about what you’re considering.

Hoops Gem inspired by a legend By Ewen McRae

Kobe King-Hawea has just returned from her first international tournament with the Australian Gems. (Supplied)

and fast and dynamic … it was good fun to play against.” It is little surprise that King-Hawea has found her feet on the basketball court, after growing up surrounded by the sport, watching old Lakers tapes and playing in the backyard with her family. From family games to the possibility of

playing in the US college system and the WNBA, King-Hawea could soon see her name up in lights like her namesake. “My dad’s a bit of a basketball freak and Kobe Bryant was my idol growing up,“ King-Hawea said. “He’s one of the best of the best, so it’s pretty cool to be named after the one and only Kobe.

Basketball was always big in the family growing up – we were just surrounded by it, so getting the chance to play it at this level now is a dream. “At some point I’d love to get over to the states to play college ball – that’s the big goal at the moment. I’m waiting to hear back from some colleges and coaches over there now so we’ll see where that takes me.”

Kobe King-Hawea carries the name of a basketball legend – and is hoping to forge her own path to stardom. King-Hawea – named by her basketball-obsessed father after LA Lakers icon Kobe Bryant – is a step closer to realising her hoops dreams after competing for the Australian Gems in the under-18 Asian Women’s Championship in India recently. King-Hawea, who played for Altona Gators in 2018, said representing her country was something she was very proud of. “It was my first international competition and just a really good experience for me,” she said. “I was so honoured and grateful to pull on that Australian top. “To wear the green and gold and get out there to represent my country and my family was an amazing experience.” The Gems finished third in the tournament, losing to Japan in the semi-finals but comfortably accounting for South Korea in the play-off for bronze. In the process, they booked their place in the under 19 World Cup next year in Thailand. King-Hawea might have been in her first national side, but she was one of the older players in the squad. She said her role off the bench was to provide leadership and stability. “As one of the older girls, I had to be a bit of a team leader,” she said. “I knew going in that as a new girl to the team, I wasn’t going to get big minutes, so I just had to make the most of my time out there – not just on the court, but on the bench. I had to get around the girls and make sure everyone was good and upbeat. “It’s a different style of basketball in Asia that I hadn’t been exposed to before – just so quick

SPORT AFL draft spotlight on Jets young guns A slick mover with good ball use and a big tank, Bond said he could see him being used as an outside midfielder at the start of his career, as well as plenty of time up forward. O’Halloran enjoyed a strong season for the Jets, Vic Metro, and his school side, captaining all three in a sign of his leadership potential at the next level. On top of a string of good results at the draft combine – finishing in the top 10 in the sprint, YoYo, 2km time trial, kicking test and placing second in the agility test – Bond said he had huge upside for any club that picks him up. “He is just a leader, a very mature kid,” Bond said. “We had multiple times this year where we needed a lift, and he was the one to give us that. He’s got a ready made body for the AFL so he’ll be eyeing off a spot in the midfield somewhere I would think.

“Personally I think his leadership sets him apart from others. At that level everyone can play, it’s a matter of how well they will fit in the system, so if you’ve got a strong character it takes a lot of the guesswork out for clubs. I think it’s just as important as the skill set.” Bond also highlighted Western Bulldogs academy prospect Buku Khamis as a potential draftee, with the former refugee come key defender a chance to make it. “His athletic profile is second to none, and he’s had a very strong year,” Bond said. “There’s a fair chance that the Bulldogs will bid on him at some stage, and he deserves to be on an AFL list either at the Bulldogs or as a rookie.” Hard running Daly Andrews is also an outside chance to be snapped up, according to Bond. Ewen McRae

Teen’s golden age of track By Tara Murray The hard work Frank Mazza has put in during the off season is starting to pay off. In his first two competitions of the track and field season, Mazza has claimed five gold medals. First, the 13-year-old competed in the School Sports Victoria Secondary Track and Field Championships in late October. Having missed out on qualifying for the event, through being away at another competition, he represented his school Brookside College in just one event, the aged 12-13 boys javelin. He claimed gold, throwing five metres further than second place. Two weeks later, Mazza competed at the 2018 Vic All Schools Track and Field Championships, again representing his school. He claimed gold in the under-14 javelin, long jump, triple jump and 90-metre hurdles. The Caroline Springs resident said he was unsure how he was going to go at both competitions. “The season had only just started,” he said. “It was really good fun. I was really happy and you could tell that all the hard work I had been doing had paid off.” The Vic All Schools Track and Field Championships represented the first time he had competed over the 90 metre hurdles. Despite this he was able to taste instant success. He won the long jump and also jumped a personal best in the triple jump. Mazza said he had been doing a lot of work in the off season. He trains with Sonja Kiernan and her crew at Proactive Athletic Coaching and Development, as well with Tim Golder at Keilor Athletics Club. “I’ve been trying to get my fitness up by doing laps of the oval,” he said. “I’m feeling more fit.” He said he would look to continue to build across all his events and look to improve on his long distance running in preparation for multi-event competitions. Next up is the 2018 Australian All Schools Track and Field Championships in Cairns next month, where he will compete in the javelin, triple jump, long jump and 90 metre hurdles. Having won three silvers at the same event 12 months ago, he has one aim this time round. “Hopefully I go better than last time and I’m aiming for gold.”Mazza is the November nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star award. The award, hosted by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club and Star Weekly, recognises young athletes from the western suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at state and/ or national levels. Mazza will receive $1000, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, and other prizes to assist him in achieving his sporting goals.

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Like many, I think money has changed football forever and there is no going back, so it’s time for a reality check on the state of the game. The points system is the best thing local footy has done in years. Its double effect was to stop teams buying players from other competitions and killing flag aspirations and it encouraged playing current and former junior players. The effect the latter will have on club cultures and tradition in the future will be invaluable. The points system also heralded a salary cap – the greatest white elephant of all time – and it’s time to scrap it. Money is here to stay so let clubs pay players whatever they want. It is their business what they pay and if they can afford to pay Billy Bloggs $1500 a game, let them. He is still a five point player and that is more important than what money he pockets. You can’t run footy like a nanny state. Badly run clubs will still fall into financial trouble but at least the salary cap will be gone. ■ Plenty of movement in the November transfer window in local football. Albanvale has scored a major coup signing Nathan Black from Werribee Districts. I can see him having the same impact at Cobra-land as Brent Sheean had this year at Point Cook Centrals. Josh Mould is a handy pick-up for the Tigers from Wyndhamvale. Caroline Springs has lost a few good ones with Jason Degabriele, Rex Hickman, Daniel Backus and Justin Brook all heading to the Mallee Eagles. Liam Cavanagh departs Sunshine for Strathmore. ■ The Bulldogs past players end of year function also served as the AGM where the current committee was 100 per cent returned under president Ross Abbey. The group has thrived in recent times and the work of the committee and Bulldogs liaison manager Linda Murray is paying dividends. Jumper presentations to Gordon Casey, Kevin White, Alex Gardiner and Lindsay Gilbee last weekend highlighted the reach the group has these days over those who wore the red, white and blue in the past. Recently retired premiership player Clay Smith spoke at the lunch about his highs and lows at the kennel in a career cut short by knee injuries. Sad to note the passing last week of Eileen Sutton, known to all as Chubb, the widow of the great Bulldogs legend Charlie. What a wonderful woman. Condolences to the family.

The Western Jets expect to see a number of their stars step up to the AFL after this week’s draft, with Zak Butters and Xavier O’Halloran topping the list. Despite missing half the season following shoulder surgery, Butters is expected to hear his name called out in the first round on November 22, and Jets talent manager Jy Bond said there’s a good reason so many rate him so highly. “What stood out for me with Butters is the fact he was able to play through that shoulder injury and play to a high standard,” Bond said. “He went through the Vic Metro side playing injured and showed he could cope. He’s got a slight frame, but he showed he’s tough and courageous which is what really stood out. “I still think he’ll go in the top 15 from all reports, and he’s a fantastic character and a good kid so he’ll work hard when he gets into an AFL system.”

Clubbers’ batsmen do all the talking

Yarraville Club is back to its old self, after posting its second straight score of 300-plus in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division. After early wickets, the Clubbers enjoyed a strong fourth wicket partnership between Konrad Kurta and the returning Will Sheridan to set up a monster total of 7-343 in their clash with local rivals Seddon. While both men fell short of registering a triple figure score, Clubbers coach Justin Baker said their 135-run stand set the platform for a late innings assault and another big score. “It was a shame they couldn’t get hundreds for themselves, but they really did a great job for the side,” Baker said. “Unfortunately we haven’t had Will for a couple of games due to work commitments, so he was pretty hungry to come back into the side and get some runs after a failure in his only game in round one. And Konrad has made a couple of 50s so he looked pretty hungry out

there. “For those two to get us through to tea just the two down, and with 140-odd on the board, that just set us up big time so we could launch an attack.” The day started well for Seddon as it sent Aaron Cheesley (5) back to the sheds cheaply, and when his fellow opener Johnathon Blake was run out for just 11 the task got harder for the hosts. From there Kurta and Sheridan were able to steady the ship, scoring largely in boundaries as they batted through to the tea break and looked set for big scores. The partnership was broken when Kurta was caught on the fence for 91, and Sheridan enjoyed a 44-run partnership with his captain Andrew Cullen before he too departed for 89. From there the Clubbers put the foot down, with aggressive knocks coming from Cullen (40), Baker (37) and Joseph Blake (32 not out) to push the score beyond 300.

Footscray’s losing run continued at the weekend, but not without a strong fight against a potent St Kilda line-up. In a two-day contest, Footscray batted first and was impressive in posting 9-300 off its 106 overs, highlighted by 134 not out to Jordan Kight. In reply, St Kilda was aggressive from the start, but the Dogs were able to make regular breakthroughs. They had no answer to former Test player Nic Maddinson, who’s 103 guided the Saints to 6-301 in the 76th over. Jack Sheppard (2-61) and Lucas Dredge (2-46) were the pick of the bowlers.

By Ewen McRae Williamstown sits alone on top of the sub-district cricket south-west first XI ladder following another strong showing, with both bat and ball, at the weekend. Taking on previously unbeaten Hoppers Crossing for early season bragging rights, Williamstown escaped some early innings trouble on Saturday to post a strong total. A well-rounded Sunday with the ball delivered the side it’s fifth win for the season by 63 runs. Captain Brent McMinn heaped the praise on middle order pair Matthew Dervan and Brenton Hodges after their 164-run partnership set their side on the path to victory. “Those two guys really stood up and took the game on,” McMinn said. “They really took the game away from Hoppers Crossing – they were just brilliant. Full credit to the Hoppers bowlers early, because our top three normally gets the job done. But with Matt and Brenton, it was just their day really. “It was the match-winner, because with our bowling line-up I had full confidence after we put that score together.” The Cats started the better, with Greg Kennedy (2-50) grabbing two early wickets, and Brett Smith chiming in with one to have the Seagulls in early trouble. When Mitchell Streiff and Matthew Twentyman fell cheaply, the visitors were 5-46 and staring down the barrel of a paltry total, but Dervan and Hodges dug deep to rescue the day. They were watchful against the good balls and slowly built the total. Both fell late in the day, but the damage had been done. Dervan was the first to go for 83, while Hodges was run out in the shadows of stumps for 94 as Williamstown finished on 7-251. Hoppers Crossing was always going to find the chase tough on a wearing pitch, though openers Jack Rhodes (32) and Cameron Nicol (24) frustrated the Williamstown attack with a patient 53-run stand to start the day. But when Nicol fell to Fraser Hay, a mini-collapse ensued, with the Cats slipping to 3-68. From there the hosts struggled to maintain momentum. Despite handy contributions from Nick Keast (37) and Smith (30), the total proved too great. Hoppers were bowled out for 188. McMinn said it was nice to have a one game break on top of the table. “There’s a really good vibe in this team and we really want to go back-to-back this season,” he said. “We’re on track, but this week we come up against one of the best teams in the competition in Caulfield so we’ll soon find out how good we are.”

The Seddon bowlers struggled as the day wore on, but Tom Kriebardis (2-46) and Kendrick Hatton (2-83) were able to grab a pair of wickets each. After dropping the first two games of the season, Baker said a change in mindset was behind his side’s revival, which has seen it score more than 700 runs in the past two games. “We had a chat amongst ourselves after being 0-2, and since then the batsmen have certainly been doing there jobs so it’s up to the bowlers now to do the same,” he said. “I think mental application has been the big change. We haven’t had our full strength team all year, but I think we were a bit lazy early doors and just thought it would all happen. “The great thing about our team is we have so much knowledge and experience in there that when we do the basics well and show the opposition more respect it turns around.”

VTCA

Four wickets to Domenic Di Guglielmo were the highlight of a long day in the field for Altona North as it strived to knock off ladder-leading Druids in Victorian Turf Cricket Association division 1 west action on Saturday. With Druids batting first on their home deck, Altona North was able to make breakthroughs at crucial times, but most of the batsmen made a start as the side closed the day on 9-240 from its 80 overs. Di Guglielmo collected 4-35 off 15 overs. Laverton faces a big chase this weekend after toiling in the field all day as Airport West St Christopher’s posted 336. Laverton dismissed the hosts in the penultimate over of the day, with Usman Safdar (3-74) continuing his solid start to the summer.

Elsewhere, twin unbeaten tons to David Kinsella and Adam Yates helped Altona to its second straight win as it proved far too strong for Brighton across the weekend. Altona first did the job with the ball on Saturday. Yates got his weekend off to the perfect start by collecting 6-31 as the hosts were dismissed for 180.

Shannon Clarke (3-53) was also impressive with the new ball early in the day. On Sunday, Kinsella (104no) and Amit Padwal (29) got Altona’s chase off to a great start with a 44-run opening stand, before Yates (100no) joined the opener to see the visitors to the win. Altona closed the day when both men had registered their milestones, finishing on 1-241.

Williamstown has continued to slide down the Vic Summer Baseball League division 2 ladder, following two losses to Doncaster in the past week. After a narrow 2-1 loss in a mid-week clash on November 15, Williamstown was comprehensively outplayed in the Sunday re-match. The Wolves struggled with their pitching as the Dragons piled on 12 runs to come away with a 12-2 victory. Williamstown will look to get its season back on track when it starts a series against Malvern on Thursday night. Newport continued on its winning way in a series with Bonbeach, coming away with back-to-back 3-1 wins to maintain its hold on the top of the ladder. It faces a three-game series against second-placed Werribee starting on Thursday. FOR MORE SPORT, VISIT Web: starweekly.com.au Maribyrnong & Hobsons Bay Star Weekly @starweeklysport @star_weekly
