Mum fights for a future An Altona Meadows woman is among the one in a million diagnosed with a rare cancer of the glands that produce adrenaline. Celeste Ryan, a 36-year-old mother of two young girls, is trying to raise funds for others while battling the disease known as adrenal cortical carcinoma. “It was found by accident, which is why they’re hoping that I’m going to have a fighting chance,” she said. “Normally, by the time the tumor is found, it’s stage four and has already spread to other parts of the body. “This was found, luckily for me, because I have ovarian cysts that get monitored every six months.

“In the previous 12 months, I had lost both of my parents within six months of each other, and all I kept thinking was that soon I would be joining them.” - Celeste Ryan In June, Ms Ryan underwent surgery to remove one adrenal gland and in August she “It was during a routine ultrasound that they started oral chemotherapy. But by December the cancer had spread, found a mass growing in my adrenal glands.” Ms Ryan said that when she heard the requiring surgery last month to remove a diagnosis, the room started spinning and she kidney and two nodules from her diaphragm. “We’re trying to keep it at bay at this point,” felt like passing out. “You automatically think your time is up and Ms Ryan said. “[Wednesday] morning I had a meeting with your babies are going to grow up without you,” the clinical trial board at Peter Mac to see if I she said. “There are no words to explain the can get approved for a clinical trial for some roller-coaster of emotions you go through medication.

“At the moment, I don’t qualify for that so it’s just waiting to see if later down the track I do. “If I don’t make it on to this trial and it is something that I have to pay for, it is $70,000.” A “Help us raise funds for Adrenal Cortical Cancer” GoFundMe campaign by Ms Ryan’s family has raised $13,375 towards a $20,000 goal for urgent surgery and to support research by Sydney University’s endocrine surgery unit. Ms Ryan and her family members will climb Mount Kosciuszko on March 2 to raise funds for Rare Cancers Australia. Members of the community are invited to attend a family fundraising event on Saturday, February 23, from 11am-3pm at Hobsons Bay Sport and Game Fishing Club in Altona.

Public hospital’s private push By Benjamin Millar Footscray’s new $1.5 billion public hospital will be built as a public private partnership, a construction industry forum has been told. Community consultation will begin next month on the new 504-bed hospital, planned for the Ballarat Road carpark of Victoria University’s Footscray Park campus. Health Minister Jenny Mikakos told an industry forum held at VU last Thursday that the state government is seeking a development partner to design, construct and maintain the
new hospital, due to open in 2025. The project was an election pledge following years of criticism over the state of the current Footscray Hospital, which was built in the 1950s. An extra 200 beds will enable the new hospital to treat about 15,000 more patients each year, on top of almost 20,000 extra emergency department admissions. Ms Mikakos said there will also be more outpatient, palliative care and mental health services. “This bigger and better hospital will give
Footscray’s hard-working doctors and nurses the modern facilities they deserve and need to do what they do best – keeping local families healthy and saving lives,” she said. “This hospital will cut waiting times and take pressure off other Melbourne hospitals, so patients can get the world-class care they need faster and closer to home.” Public private partnerships have previously been used to rebuild Bendigo Hospital, the Royal Women’s Hospital and the Royal Children’s Hospital. Community consultation will begin in March ahead of the tender process
opening by the middle of this year. Footscray MP Katie Hall said the “landmark” hospital will transform Footscray and Melbourne’s west into a vibrant health and education hub. Victoria University vice-chancellor Peter Dawkins said VU was excited that the new Footscray Hospital project is starting to gather momentum. “This hospital not only celebrates our strong partnerships with Maribyrnong council and Western Health, it will rapidly become a critical health resource for the whole of the west of Melbourne.”
More cheese please Williamstown will next month host the Wine and Cheese Fest at Seaworks, with more than 60 wine, cheese and artisan food vendors there to tantalise the tastebuds. All-day master classes with industry leaders will include wine and cheese matching and speed tasting. “One will be held by our Maestro of Mozzarella, Giorgio Linguanti,” said the festival’s Lynda Buckly. “We also have winemaker Matthew Barry from Mount Avoca – he’ll be talking about, specifically, wine pairings and what tastes best with what and what you can serve with which sort of grape. “So there’ll be educational opportunities for all festival attendees.” Competitors will vie for prizes by squeezing as much juice as possible – with their feet – in the Grape Stomp Comp. There’ll be craft beers, ciders, sauces, olives
and olive oil, pickled preserves, pastries, smoked and cured meats, and desserts. There will also be a Kids Zone, live music and DJs. The festival is on Saturday, March 9 from 11am-6pm. There are 5000 tickets; prices start at $50 with children under 15 free. An after-party will be held at Pirates Tavern from 6pm, with free entry included as part of the festival ticket. Star Weekly readers have a chance to win one of 10 double passes to the festival.

Footscray’s smart choice Free wi-fi, smart lighting and real-time traffic and public transport information will be rolled out in Footscray following the awarding of a $400,000 Smart Cities grant. The $50 million federal government Smart Cities and Suburbs Program supports projects that apply technology-based solutions to urban challenges. Maribyrnong council and Victoria University have partnered to create the Footscray Smart City for Social Cohesion Project, aiming to use emerging technology and data to boost commerce, help the environment and improve quality of life. The project will be delivered over the next two years and include environmental monitoring to improve air quality, information
on traffic and public transport, and ‘smart spaces’ featuring free wi-fi and touch screen technology. Maribyrnong council will contribute a further $350,000 and Victoria University will chip in with $100,000. Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Alan Tudge said the 32 successful projects around the country aim to reduce congestion, energy consumption and waste. “The program encourages collaboration between local governments, industry, research organisations, tech start-ups and manufacturers in cities and towns across Australia,” Mr Tudge said.

Lead scare shuts tunnel works Workers on the West Gate Tunnel toll road project in Footscray have been exposed to toxic lead paint while welding steel imported from Singapore. Both the West Gate Tunnel toll road project and the Metro Tunnel underground rail line used imported steel struts that contained the lead-based paint. Work ground to a halt a fortnight ago on preliminary works at the northern entrance to the $6.8 billion West Gate Tunnel after the discovery of the paint in material used since at least September last year. One sample showed lead paint content of 2.2 per cent – more than twice the level recommended under Australian safety regulations and regarded as “high risk exposure”. Continued exposure can lead to brain damage and kidney failure, among other problems. CFMEU assistant secretary Shaun Reardon said workers on Victorian state government jobs “deserve better than this”. West Gate Tunnel project chief executive Peter Sammut said work had stopped after the issue was identified. A WorkSafe spokeswoman said it was satisfied adequate steps to control exposure risks had been taken but the site will be monitored. The steel was imported from Singapore-based company Yongnam, which said it was working to ensure all products fully comply with Australian standards. Minister for Transport Infrastructure Jacinta Allan said it was “completely unacceptable” for the workers to have been exposed to lead.
Stories from ‘green hell’
Hoda Afsha with her portrait of Behrouz Boochani. (Phuong Ngo)
They call it the “green hell”. Some of the last asylum seekers detained on Manus Island are featured in an exhibition at Newport by Iran-born photographer Hoda Afsha, titled Remain. Among the six are stateless writer Behrouz Boochani, this year’s winner of the Victorian Prize for Literature. “I travelled there a year ago and I made this work in collaboration with Kurdish-Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani,” Afsha said. “There are certain elements that are quite important in the creation of the work and one is the nakedness of their bodies. “For me, it was a visual element that I wanted to use as a way of referring to the idea of their naked life as someone, an individual, a human being that is stripped of their basic human rights.” The portraits are accompanied by stories of the six men’s lives. “They’ve been thrown into this isolated island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for nearly six years now,” Afsha said. “There’s this green island that goes nowhere and they call it ‘green hell’ because the colour green has turned into the colour that psychologically traumatises them.” Remain will be at The Substation until May 5.

Final calls for ferry trial By Goya Dmytryshchak A commuter ferry trial between Williamstown and Port Melbourne is struggling to attract passengers. The trial, which started on February 11 and will run to February 27, has drawn only a handful of people on its early trips. St Kilda Ferry operator Rob Egan said the first week had not gone as well as he expected and he hoped poor conditions were the cause. “During the weekends, when I run the Williamstown to St Kilda ferry, if the weather is slightly windy or overcast people don’t come,” he said. “The [first] two days have been absolutely atrocious, so I’m hoping it’s that. “We’ve got a fully-enclosed cabin with 30 seats like an aircraft inside – beautiful comfortable seats.” In 2016, Port Phillip Ferries trialed a commuter service from Wyndham Harbour to Docklands, but it was abandoned due to poor patronage. Mr Egan hopes more people will get on board before his trial ends. Despite the disappointing start, another trial is planned for April. The commuter service operates Monday to Wednesday, with the first ferry departing Gem Pier at Williamstown at 7am and the last at 5pm. Ferries arrive at Port Melbourne in 15 minutes to coincide with the arrival of the 109 tram. City commuters can catch a tram to arrive at Crown in eight minutes, Spring Street in 22 minutes or Southern Cross station in 35 minutes. The earliest ferry from Port Melbourne to Williamstown will leave at 7.30am and the last at 5.30pm. Commuter tickets cost $7 each way (half the cost of a tourist trip) and must be booked online at stkildaferry.com.au
Help wanted for Stony Creek The community is being invited to share ideas about rehabilitating the heavily contaminated Stony Creek. EPA testing has found water quality has improved since large volumes of toxic chemicals ran into the creek following last year’s Tottenham warehouse fire, but concern remains over the levels of chemicals such as hydrocarbons and copper in sediment deposits. As part of its clean-up strategy Melbourne Water is helping to draft a Stony Creek Rehabilitation Plan, opening an online feedback portal for suggestions for how best to rehabilitate the waterway. Regional services manager Emily Phillips said key priorities identified by the community will be incorporated into the plan, due for release by mid-year. “People will be able to share their feedback online but also in person at a number of community events in February and March,” she said. Pop-up information stands will also be in Cruickshank Park from 9am-noon this Sunday and 3-5pm Tuesday, February 26. The online ‘Your Say’ portal will remain open until March 11 and a two-day community workshop will be held in late March. Feedback will also help inform Maribyrnong council’s Cruickshank Park Masterplan due for release later this year. Visit: yoursay.melbournewater.com. au/stony-creek-rehabilitation

Life behind iconic Olympic image By Goya Dmytryshchak Fifty-one years after standing in solidarity with athletes giving the black power salute, the life of Williamstown sprinter Peter Norman will be revealed at an author’s talk by his nephew. Matt Norman will speak about the book he co-wrote with Andrew Webster, The Peter Norman Story, at Williamstown library. Mr Norman claimed silver at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics by running 200 metres in 20.06 seconds – still an Australian record. But he is widely remembered for his support of African American runners Tommie Smith
and John Carlos, who raised their fists in protest on the medal dais – a moment captured in what Time magazine called the most iconic photograph of all time. Mr Norman wore an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge in support and it was his suggestion Smith and Carlos each wear one glove after they left one pair back at the village. His nephew made the 2008 film Salute which is this year being made into a film with Chris Hemsworth tipped for the starring role. “This book was just a follow-up to tell the story that I didn’t tell in the film,” Matt Norman said.
“It updated people on all aspects of his life, not just his athletics achievements.” Mr Norman said his uncle was heartbroken when he was overlooked for the Munich Olympics over his support for Smith and Carlos. “He always said that the silver medal was great but the support he gave Tommie Smith and John Carlos was 10 times better.” Matt Norman will speak at Williamstown library on Thursday, February 28 from 6.30-7.30pm. The event is free but registrations are required via libraries.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au

Dance fusion excites Trevor Santos and Tro Griffiths are starring in a world-premiere production featuring a fiery fusion of burlesque, dance and circus. The two men, who hail from Maribyrnong and Altona respectively, have been cast in Matador, a tale of forbidden love and passion Matador being performed at The Melba Spiegeltent. The show mixes contemporary dance, ballet and Latin numbers with pole dancing and aerial acts. Santos, a dancer and choreographer, said working with the 13 other performers in the cast had been his favourite part of rehearsals. “With the circus acts, there is some incredible moments,” he said. Griffiths, a circus artist, said that when cast members were connecting with the audience and each other, it was thrilling. “If we’re doing the show, and we do a really good one, we have a little look we share – we
don’t break character, but it’s there,” Griffiths said. “I love those moments – where you interact with each other as well as the audience.” He said that he was not fazed when he first saw the theatrical costumes used in the production. “I come from the burlesque world, so I was like, ‘Cool – a corset and tights’,” he said. Matador will be performed from 8.30pm, Thursdays to Saturdays, until March 2 at The Melba Spiegeltent, 35 Johnston Street, Collingwood. Tickets: $69.90. Bookings: eventfinda.com.au or 1800 710 499.

Jail for armed robberies By Goya Dmytryshchak A man who robbed an Altona North McDonald’s and a Premix King bottle shop at Williamstown has been sentenced to four and a half years jail. Taylar Rough pleaded guilty in the County Court to two charges of armed robbery and theft. His former partner was handed a community corrections order for assisting him after police bugged their Newport home. The court heard that Rough and an
accomplice used an imitation handgun and knife to rob the McDonald’s restaurant about 1.45am on November, 26, 2017. About four weeks later, Rough and the same co-offender used his then-partner, Carmyn Bills’ car to rob the Williamstown bottle shop. Rough was carrying an imitation firearm and his accomplice had a sawn-off shotgun. After the robberies, police placed a listening device in the home Rough shared with Bills. Police attended their home last May and made inquiries about the whereabouts of Bills’ car on the nights of the robberies.
The court heard that after police left, Bills was recorded telling Rough they needed to destroy any evidence. Bills told Rough to delete everything on his phone and dispose of a bag of shoes and clothing. Judge Carolene Gwynn sentenced Rough to four and half years imprisonment with a minimum of two years and 10 months. She placed Bills on a community corrections order for 16 months. No conviction was recorded for Bills. The co-offender, then 17, has been dealt with by a children’s court.
Colour your day for a good cause Williamstown’s Commonwealth Reserve will be awash with pink for an event promoting breast cancer awareness. People can bring a blanket and have a picnic for next month’s Pink Day on the Park. Organiser Lidia Neskovski said the day was aimed at increasing awareness of the disease, support those affected by breast cancer and honour those who fought the battle. “My auntie died of breast cancer and I’ve also got a friend who’s a cancer survivor. “Last year, I had three friends die of breast cancer, one after the other – 50, 48 and 40 – died within three months.” The event kicks off with a yoga session and there will be speakers and information stalls and live entertainment. Pink Day on the Park is on Sunday, March 3 from 10am-5pm. Goya Dmytryshchak

Altona North childcare bid Plans for a 111-place childcare centre in a residential street have been lodged with Hobsons Bay council. Peter English & Associates have applied to build the centre at 18-20 Stapley Crescent, Altona North. The proposed building would have two levels. A carpark with 24 spaces would serve as a drop-off zone and include staff parking. There would be two outdoor play areas with up to half the children outside at one time during daytime hours. In a letter to the council, Mr English said a non-residential use in a residential area was appropriate where there was an identified need. A needs assessment he commissioned concluded there was a shortfall of between 80 and 130 long daycare places in the area. The proposed centre would have 45 places for children aged up to three years, 33 places for three to five year olds and 33 places for four to five year olds. Hours of operation would be 7am-7pm, Monday to Friday. Documents submitted with the application state that a NANA’s Early Learning Centre is proposed for the site. “Programs at NANA’S Early Learning Centre follow the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, a world-renowned teaching and learning philosophy inspired by the system of early years’ education in Reggio Emilia, a town in northern Italy,” documents state.

Inviting spaces encourage people to linger and help form connections. (iStock) all the residents in her building. They enjoy communal gatherings. “They’re ‘everyone-is-invited, come-have-a-drink occasions’,” she says. McNally believes it takes time and familiarity for a genuine community to form. “You see each other walking up and down the stairs or in the carpark,” she says,
“Once someone becomes familiar, you start up a chat.” Both Anderson-Oliver and McNally acknowledge it could be harder to create a sense of community in larger apartment blocks. But Anderson-Oliver reiterates the value of inviting spaces such as sky-bars,
hang-out spaces on different floors and cafes in large buildings. They both believe “soft infrastructure” is vital – for example, organised events and apartment block Facebook pages. This is an edited version of a Domain story by Melissa Howard.

When urban planner Mitra Anderson-Oliver, 33, moved into a 300-dwelling apartment block in Melbourne’s Kew two years ago, she knew she’d have to make some changes. “I decided that the only way apartment living could work for me is if I have a community garden,” she says. She is now part of the new 40-member gardening committee and the “game-changer” communal garden is starting to take shape. As apartment living continues to rapidly rise, Anderson-Oliver, husband Daniel and their son, Heath, 1, are part of a growing trend of vertical communities. “There’s this idea that if you live in an apartment block, you can’t possibly have real community,” Anderson-Oliver says. “I just think that’s so untrue. Just because people live on a street – in a suburb, in a detached house – doesn’t mean that they have community.” She reckons that just as with horizontal living, it’s accidental interactions, supported by “sticky spaces” – communal areas that invite people to stick around – that help form connections. “The common areas of an apartment block are where the community either lives or dies,” she says. “Otherwise you’re just a collection of little boxes and there’s nowhere to actually meet or circulate.” In Sydney, high-density homes such as apartments will soon outnumber detached dwellings. Business administrator Rachael McNally, 38, has lived in a two-bedroom apartment in Bronte for five years. She knows nearly

Designed to fit in with the streetscape of period dwellings, this residence is within a five-minute walk from The Strand waterfront and 10 from Westbourne Grammar School, and a three-minute drive from Douglas Parade’s shopping precinct. It has two fitted and carpeted bedrooms flanking a wide tiled entry hall, with the spacious bathroom and laundry – each with closet – next up. The carpeted large living area, with northern aspect, a skylight and glass bricks providing abundant natural light, incorporates the kitchen. This has loads of timber cupboards, a brekkie bench for three, plenty of bench space and an upright cooker. A covered pergola looks out to lawn and pretty gardens, and there’s a garden shed and a garage with internal access.
This absolutely charming California bungalow, within a walk of The Strand waterfront, schools, cafes and station, has been sympathetically revamped and comes with truly beautiful gardens. It has three bedrooms (two with robes) and two bathrooms, one smart and contemporary, the other a renovated original. A large and lovely living area at entry hall’s end has a bay window with seat and rich timber cabinetry. The tiled meals and carpeted sitting areas have double sliders to a deck. The recently updated kitchen has ample white cabinetry, stone benches and stainless-steel cooker and dishwasher. Features include a split-system, cupboard laundry, garden shed and a carport and parking for another with access from the rear.

Price: $2 million – $2.2 million
In a superb location with unimpeded views from three levels of Sadler Reserve’s greens and the blues of the bay beyond, this classy residence has liveability factors in spades. The ground floor has two fitted bedrooms, a bathroom, powder room, laundry and a rumpus room with access to a deck under sails and an inset spa. The first floor is entirely taken up with the living domain, with carpeted sitting area (with gas log fire) and a dining area under a double-height ceiling and access to a balcony to soak up those extraordinary views. The kitchen, with waterfall stone island bench, has glossy cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and all the mod-cons, as well as a separate “bar” cabinet. Sliding and french doors are fitted with white plantation shutters and the internal architecture has strong lines. The top floor has two fitted bedrooms, including the main. One bedroom has a desk and access to a rear balcony, while the main has a dual-basin en suite with a spa tub and, again, a balcony for the vistas. A bedroom with walk-in robe and en suite is atop the double garage – another bonus of a refined property.

WILLIAMSTOWN 93 Pasco Street, 3016 RT Edgar Inner West: 9399 6600 Price: $2.05 million – $2.25 million It’s little wonder that this place was featured in House & Garden – it truly is a triumph of design in all aspects. Local outfit Bloom & Co Internal Design were responsible for an entire revamp five years ago. It stands as testament to a bold approach, attention to the smallest detail and an aesthetic that transcends the expected. The entry hall is the first wow moment among many. Laid with the same oak parquetry floorboards as in all living areas, it has stunning wallpaper above white wainscoting, corbelled archway and wide cornices and deep skirts. Breaking the mould are the two large industrial pendants

suspended from ceiling roses. In less capable hands, they could be jarring but in the overall context, they are perfect. The three grey-carpeted and fitted bedrooms along the hall have beautiful designer wallpaper accents and chandeliers. One also has a fireplace. The chic bathroom has stylish tiling, clawfoot tub, marble vanity and walk-in shower. Fireplaces and dramatic chandeliers also appear in the lounge and dining rooms along the hall. These rooms interlink via a corbelled archway and have french doors to the side verandah and very pretty gardens.
White plantation shutters are on most windows and charcoal-painted doors have classy fittings (an example of those small but telling details). At entry hall’s end, a door with original transom opens to the living hub. In here, a wall of french doors, dressed in full-height grey sheers, open to the side verandah, while the marble-benched laundry is behind a black barn door. The sublime kitchen, with a vast marble island bench, has Smeg dual underbench ovens, 900mm gas cooktop and dishwasher.Servery and other lovely windows behind the butler’s sink reveal garden views, including a heritage-listed

elm tree shading a pleasing garden and off-street parking for two cars. At the top of the stairs, a study/reading nook, with shelves and marble bench, precedes the main bedroom under a vaulted ceiling. Marble-topped lowboys run under full-width windows, walls have charcoal embossed wallpaper and wall lamps are as fine as every other lightfitting. A walk-in wardrobe and impressive en suite complete this dreamy retreat. Opposite prestigious Williamstown High School, this property should be on every savvy buyer’s radar. Carole Levy

New Homes & Land
Quick tips to help sell your home This checklist will help you take the first critical steps towards selling your home in 2019, writes Kate Farrelly from Domain.
2. Inspect properties in your neighbourhood You’ll want to physically inspect properties so you can see how your home compares with the stock available to buyers. Matt Walther of ClearHome, a company that helps clients get their property ready for sale or rent, says this is the best way for would-be vendors to learn about the competition. “Have a look at what else is on the market, because ideally you’ll want your property to match or exceed the standard of what’s already available,” he says. 3. Get a pest and building inspection A pest and building inspection report will highlight any major issues with your property and give you the option to deal with these before your sales campaign.

1. Research the market The property market can be a fickle beast, so it’s important to have a good understanding of what’s happening in your area before you list your house for sale. Mark Newell, director of housePro, a company that guides clients through the process of buying and selling property, says one of the easiest ways to get a handle on your local market is to observe at least one campaign cycle – a minimum of six to eight weeks. Knowledge is everything. You can also use online tools such as Home Price Guide to analyse recent sales data.
4. Clean and declutter Decluttering comes hand-in-hand with moving house, so if you’re thinking seriously about selling there’s no better prompt to get rid of unwanted belongings. “When it comes to selling, less is more,” says Walther. “Because vendors may have lived in it for so long they want to show off what the home
“You want to find out what the deal-breaker is,” he says. “Most vendors are on a budget, so they need to use their money effectively. Tackle the deal-breakers first and the rest comes second. “The walls and ceiling make up 90 per cent of what you’re looking at in a property, so if you repaint throughout it basically looks new,” Newell says.
has given to them, but it’s irrelevant to what a buyer wants.” 5. Improve and enhance When deciding how much money and energy to throw at your home before selling, Walther suggests asking yourself the question: “Why would people not want to buy my home?”

SPORT In-form Druids looking good for promotion Can Druids finally break into the Victorian Turf Cricket Association top flight? The West Footscray-based club is giving itself every opportunity to snare that long-awaited promotion from the division 1 west competition this summer. Moving six points clear on top of the ladder with one round to go, after a 114-run hammering of Greenvale Kangaroos at Shorten Reserve on Saturday, Druids have one hand on the all-important No.1 ranking in the finals. Druids captain Leigh Wilson says the goal is clear for his club. “We’ve been around the mark trying to get into senior division for three or four years now and that’s what we want,” he said. Druids are building into their best form of the summer. The team from Essex Street has claimed back-to-back victories in the league and been a force in the Twenty20 competition. Last Thursday night, Druids qualified for the Kookaburra Cup T20 finals with a semi-final win over Keilor, a side that is one division above them in the VTCA divisions.

Wilson is confident Druids can match it with any side in the VTCA, but getting out of division 1 has been the hard part because only one team from their conference is promoted and one slip-up in the finals can be fatal. “I think it’s massive for the club,” said Wilson of wins over senior division sides in the T20
matches. “We’ve been playing a couple of these sides in the T20 and been showing that we can really match it with them. “We get another opportunity this week to really test ourselves against a quality opposition in Strathmore [in the T20 grand final on Sunday], but also we get a game where there’s high stakes on offer.” The most pleasing aspect of Druids thrashing of Greenvale was the batting. Druids blasted 5-297, largely off the bats of Shane Windridge, who made 139, including 14 fours and four sixes, and Steven Nicholson, who made 78. “It’s what we really wanted because the couple of weeks before that our batting hadn’t been up to scratch,” said Wilson, who himself is in form after a match-winning knock of 58 in the mid-week T20 match. Druids will face Aberfeldie at Clifton Park on Saturday, knowing a victory will secure the minor premiership. Lance Jenkinson
Woe be the Woodsmen By Lance Jenkinson Spotswood has copped a catastrophic weekend in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division. The Woodsmen fumbled a chance to move into the top four ahead of the final round of the season – and were sucked back into relegation calculations. All that because of a batting collapse that saw them crumble to finish on 9-163 in their chase of St Albans’ 7-175 in a one-day game at Donald McLean Reserve on Saturday. Woodsmen player-coach Dan Schuppan was shocked by the turn of events that saw his side go from a position of power to defeat in no time. “I’m devastated, gutted,” he said. “We’ve got no one to blame but ourselves. We get into winning positions and we just can’t get it done.” Spotswood was in command at 2-95. The wicket of Woodsmen top-scorer Ross Horkings for 44 sparked a collapse and changed the complexion of the game. The Woodsmen lost their next six wickets for 46 and the run rate required grew to unmanageable levels, leaving them an agonising 13 runs short of the victory target. “We were just cruising,” Schuppan said. “If you said to me, treat it like a Twenty20 game, you’ve got eight wickets in hand, you have two set batters and all you’ve got to get is 90 runs, you’d say nine times out of 10 you’d get it done, especially at Spotswood where it’s a good batting track after tea. “We just got ourselves out – and when you get yourselves out, you’ve got no one to blame but yourselves.” Earlier in the day, Spotswood was content with the position its bowlers had put it in. Allan Wise was the pick of the Woodsmen bowlers with 2-20, while Gene Maurice (2-27) and Thilina Masmulla (2-43) took two wickets apiece. Perhaps the game-turning moment of the St Albans’ innings came in the second last over when Tom Langley-Dunn hit two big sixes – the eventual winning margin. Spotswood will face the toughest test of its summer on Saturday when it travels to Doutta Stars for a two-day game. The Woodsmen’s future in the top division Allan Wise had team-best bowling figures for Spotswood on Saturday. (Shawn Smits) hangs on the results of this round. “The reason why we’re so disappointed is that training. It’s important that we dwell on it for a Meanwhile, two-time defending champions we’ve got so many experienced cricketers that couple of days and think about where we went Yarraville Club is stuck in second-last spot after have been around the traps and we know our wrong and then we get to Tuesday training and a gut-wrenching one-wicket loss to Sunshine best is good enough,” Schuppan said. United. Bottom side Seddon is favourite for our focus turns to Doutta. “We’ve got to dust ourselves off, not by “This is one of those games … you’ve got to the wooden spoon after a 211-run beating from thinking about Doutta, but by getting stuck into learn from it.” Doutta Stars. 30 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 20, 2019
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ You know your suburb has arrived when you are mentioned almost daily in traffic accident reports and you get your own football team. Welcome the Truganina Thunder to the WRFL – and it is pronounced Trug-a-nine-a. The club will field teams in the junior competition in the under-8, 9, and 10 boys and under-10 girls based out of the ground at Mainview Boulevard. The club has been born out of the Auskick program, which is the natural progression needed for sustainable growth. In the past, clubs have fast-tracked senior teams and paid – and in some cases, continue to pay – the price. The Thunder is the 35th club to compete in the WRFL. I wish it the best for the future. ■ AFLX confuses me – not because of comic book team names, unique rules and playing conditions or the game-changer player role. I am confused because I can’t work out why it exists. If fans need a footy fix they have AFLW to watch. There are practice matches in the next few weeks if fans want to see the men going around and most clubs have open training sessions and match simulation to watch, as well. So what void does AFLX fill? I agree it takes both potential publicity and funding away from the women’s competition. I doubt any players will be reflecting on their AFLX premiership medal and tattoo in a decade. ■ There was another successful meeting for local track athletes at the Keilor Gift last weekend, with Jarod Sutton winning the 400-metre novice event and Nathan Burfitt saluting in the 1600-metre front-marker handicap. Megan McMahon and Jody Richards have been outstanding performers on the circuit over summer, giving veteran coach Terry McGarity plenty to smile about. All four have local football connections through umpiring and clubs and Nathan has been senior team manager at Deer Park for a number of years. ■ Any cricket team going into the last fortnight of the regular season with a slim chance of finals action needs only look to Sri Lanka’s Test win over South Africa last week for inspiration. Yarraville Club Cricket Club’s first XI heads in to its last VTCA Turner Shield game of the year against Strathmore knowing not even that kind of resilience will help it. It will miss finals after losing to Sunshine United.

Big leap for martial star Making his entrance into taekwondo at age four, Cameron Moyes has spent more than a decade on the mat – but he will look back on 2018 as his break-out year. The 15-year-old from Hall’s Taekwondo jetted to three overseas destinations for major tournaments and reeled in a swag of medals. “It was a very big year, my biggest year yet,” Moyes said. “Last year, I was at the top of the cadet division, which is an age group between 12 and 14, and I was 14. “That gave me some confidence going across the world. I knew it was going to be the best opportunity before I lead into the juniors division [age 15 to 17].” Moyes relished not just the thrill of success, but also the chance to travel and meet new people. “I love the travel,” he said. “Going to different countries for tournaments and meeting a lot of people is a great experience. It’s great to get out and see new things and look at how other countries do it to improve my learning. It’s just
an overall amazing experience.” Moyes was a serious competitor in all the events that he entered. Facing the world’s best, the Hoppers Crossing martial artist came fifth at the World Poomsae Championships in Taipei. A tricky draw did not help Moyes, but the experience of facing the world’s best was unforgettable. “I fought the actual winner of the world championships in the first round, so that was pretty tough,” he said. “It was pretty unlucky to get him, but still it was a great experience.” Moyes had great success at regional events. His time in Tahiti at the Oceania Championships and the President’s Cup yielded a medal haul in individuals, pairs and teams events. The Westbourne Grammar School year 10 student reaped three gold in poomsae and a silver medal in sparring at the President’s Cup, then three gold medals in poomsae and a bronze medal in sparring. Moyes also claimed a bronze medal at the

Altona and Yarraville-Footscray were playing for western suburbs bragging rights in the Bowls Victoria premier division. Yarraville-Footscray, who has spent the season above Altona on the ladder, stayed true to form with a commanding 96-61 win in the local derby at Francis Street on Saturday. The Bulldogs secured their top flight status for next season, while leaving Altona with work to do to avoid relegation, as it remains 12 points above the bottom two with two rounds to play. Altona will face second-last St Kilda at Civic Parade on Saturday.
By Lance Jenkinson The groans of frustration from the Altona Magic supporters told the tale. Had their side converted two gilt-edged opportunities late in the second half, the Magic might have made a triumphant return to Victorian soccer’s top flight. Instead, they walked away with a 1-0 loss to Green Gully Cavaliers in the National Premier League season opener at Paisley Park on Saturday. Magic coach Goran Lozanovski was disappointed not to be able to collect three points for the big crowd. “It was a good turn-out, which is always nice to see, but unfortunately we didn’t come out with the cookies today,” he said. “It was a frustrating game, but I think overall we probably deserved a draw. “There’s a lot of things we can still work on, but there were a lot of positives.” Altona only had itself to blame. For 70 minutes, the sides were inseparable as a midfield battle ensued, but then two big chances came the Magic’s way. Daniel Kuczynski, one of the Magic’s most potent attacking players on the day, drew a foul inside the box, winning a penalty for his side. Dusan Bosnjak stepped up for the Magic and struck the penalty shot low to the right of Green Gully goalkeeper Jerrad Tyson, who pulled off a spectacular save. Bosnjak, on debut with his new club, was apologetic to his teammates after the match. “Look, to be fair, I think he hit it well, but their keeper made a good stop,” Lozanovski said. “That’s the way the cookie crumbles when the keeper takes a punt – he picks a side. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how good you hit it, he will give himself half a chance of getting there.” Soon after, young substitute David Trajanoski missed a shot from point blank range. Trajanoski was praised for his willingness to attack the ball in the box, but mistimed his shot. The tough part for Altona was that it conceded the decisive goal between those two missed chances. What had been a watertight Altona defence for most of the game switched off for a split second, allowing Green Gully recruit Alex Salmon to toe-poke the ball past Magic goalkeeper Daniel Collison. “They pinched that scrappy goal, which was disappointing,” Lozanovski said. The Altona fans were buzzing to see the arrival of Dutchman Michiel Hemmen. Hemmen, a forward with Eredivisie experience, was unveiled as a star recruit during the week. He came on as a sub late and showed glimpses of what he offers.
Taekwondo, is ready to make his transition into the juniors division this year. He is targeting strong performances at the President’s Cup and Australian Open – both events will take place on the Gold Coast. “Hopefully, I can learn as much as I can so when I’m 16, 17, at the top of the age group, it can be a big year for me again,” Moyes said. He trains four days a week with coaches Jihun An and Jerry Moraitis at Hall’s Taekwondo and puts in extra sessions at home. Moyes is the February 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. Moyes will receive $1000 and other prizes, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, to assist him in achieving his sports goals.
Premier Cricket
Footscray is hellbent on taking out a big scalp before the Premier Cricket off season. The Bulldogs highlighted their clash with powerhouse side Dandenong as one they were desperate to win and they look the goods at the halfway mark. The Dogs dominated day one, smashing 9-350 off 95.6 overs. Captain Dylan Kight (98) and Dean Russ (91) were the driving forces of the innings for Footscray, while there were handy contributions from Matt Underwood (41), Dylan Brasher (40) and Jordan Kight (39).

Williamstown is the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association Twenty20 champions. The Seagulls claimed a 19-run win over Brighton in the final at St Bernard’s College on Sunday. Earlier in the day, the Seagulls advanced to the big dance with a six-wicket win over Box Hill in the semi-final. In regular season action, Williamstown posted 239 against Elsternwick at the WIlliamstown Cricket Ground on Saturday. Altona produced a disappointing 122 against Melton, who are 2-21 in reply. Yarraville made a deflating 159 against Ormond, who are 0-6.

“He showed some good signs,” Lozanovski said. “He had a 30-hour journey on Monday and Tuesday and was a bit fatigued for the next couple of days, so he probably wasn’t ready to start. “It was important that we slowly eased him into it and I think he will give us a bit of a different dimension coming into Friday night’s game against the Melbourne Knights.”
The debut of Collison in goals was a success for Altona, while Ross Archibald, Lirim Elmazi and Johnny Stojcevski were sound defensively for the Magic. Lozanovski is urging the Magic fans to stick with the team in the coming week. “It’s a big test against Melbourne Knights at Somers Street this week and we’ve got to make sure we get something out of it,” he said.
