Dust fears hold despite funding

B B ET LOETT TER CA ER SH LL PR ED Y IC S BU ES IL T

Mark Smith

BROOKLYN residents fear air pollution will continue to exceed national standards despite $1.4 million funding to pave two local dust-producing streets.

Brimbank council will use $900,000 from the state government to seal and upgrade Brooklyn’s notoriously dust-plagued Jones and Bunting roads.

Visiting Brooklyn to announce the funding last week, Environment Minister Ryan Smith said the government recognised the significant impact dust from unsealed roads was having on local air quality.

He said the funding supported practical “on the ground” action.

“This funding contribution will support Brimbank council to seal problem roads such as Bunting and Jones roads as part of the Brooklyn Evolution Plan,” Mr Smith said.

The funding announcement followed the July 10 Weekly report that residents were moving out of Victoria’s most polluted suburb after 100 days of dust levels as high as those experienced during the Black Saturday bushfires.

The World Health Organisation warns that people should not be exposed to such high levels of particle pollution for more than five days a year.

On hot, windy days, Victoria’s health department advises Brooklyn residents to stay inside, keep their doors and windows shut and avoid exercise.

Kevin Dunn, who has lived in Almond Avenue for nearly 20 years,

said much of the dust was caused by trucks travelling through the surrounding areas.

“If you dust the house, the table for instance, you can come back literally an hour later and run your finger across the top of it and see the layer of dust that’s been deposited,” he said.

Brooklyn Residents Action Group secretary Bert Boere believes sealing Bunting and Jones roads will have an impact, but that air pollution is still likely to exceed national clean air standard.

“If you seal Bunting Road, it will reduce the dust in that area by 38 per cent and if you seal Jones Road, about 15 per cent,” he said.

“It should make a substantial difference, but to be honest it probably won’t bring it down below the limits.”

Mr Boere said the next urgent measure to reduce pollution would be monitoring industry and Environmental Protection Authority enforcement.

“You’ve really got to look at the operation of the companies that are in there, and whether their sites are sealed or not,” he said.

“You’ve got to look at their operations and how they’re operating.”

EPA chief executive John Merritt said air monitoring pointed to the two roads as significant dust contributors.

“It’s a long haul to break this dust problem; there’s no quick fix to it, but you just need to keep things moving forward,” he said.

“But I think it’s also important to make that symbolic improvement.

“The EPA is asking many of the

companies that operate in the broader precinct to spend a lot of money on improving their sites, and we expect that that ‘ask’ will be better received once they can see the infrastructure being improved in parallel as well.”

make a significant difference.

“It will enable us to undertake the road construction works, which will provide great benefits to the atmosphere and reducing the dust problem,” he said.

Works are due to begin early next year.

Environment Minister Ryan Smith is resisting calls for a taskforce to tackle Brooklyn’s long-running dust and odour problems.

On his first visit to Brooklyn last week, Mr Smith said resident groups had been “exactly right in their concerns” about dust issues.

“You can see that on a lessdamp day there would be a lot of dust; that if it was windy the dust would go across the neighbourhood and across the community,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter whose responsibility the road is, the air quality issues are issues that affect everyone and it falls fairly and squarely in my area, with the EPA as the authority under my responsibility, so action needed to be taken.”

Williamstown MP Wade Noonan described the $1.4 million state government funding as “a victory for the local community” but said there was still a great deal of work to be done to turn around decades of environmental neglect across the industrial precinct.

He said politics must be put aside and he called on the government to create an “implementation group” that could work through the Brooklyn evolution strategy.

But Mr Smith said because it was a council plan, it was not for the government to “come in and tell the council how to do it”.

“But I think today’s announcement shows that we’re happy to assist the council ... we’ll help where we can, but as far as implementing their plan we’re going to leave it to council.”

Job shock for Lonely Planet staff

Police are hunting for a man who attacked a 73-year-old woman in West Footscray late last month.

The victim was walking home along Devonshire Street with a shopping trolley when she was punched in the back, causing her to fall to the ground and break her wrist. The offender fled the scene with the trolley and contents. He is described as being male, of skinny build and wearing a fluro green top. Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Station works near end A $530,000 upgrade to North Williamstown station car park is nearing completion. Works have included upgrading the existing unmarked asphalt car parking area and construction of extra onstreet spaces.

Yarraville curfew flouted PENNY STEPHENS

FOOTSCRAY Lonely Planet staff members were left shell-shocked last week at news up to 80 jobs would be cut from the company.

Management broke the news that cuts will be made worldwide, but the Melbourne headquarters are expected to be heavily hit.

Founded in 1972 by Tony and Maureen Wheeler as a “shoestring” backpacker’s guide to Asia, Lonely Planet was sold to BBC Worldwide before being on-sold four months ago to Nashville-based company NC2 Media.

Rumours have since swirled that the new owners would be looking to make cuts in the print division and focus on digital output.

Confirmation of the cuts was announced to staff at the company’s converted Footscray warehouse last Thursday.

Redundancies from the company’s book production department are likely to include editors and writers as well as cartographers and some casual staff.

Lonely Planet management

released a statement that said staff and contributors had been told there would be a series of changes in the company’s operations.

“Unfortunately, as a result of these changes a number of positions at our offices around the world have the potential to be affected and we are in consultation with individuals whose roles may be impacted,” the statement said.

Lonely Planet chief operating officer Daniel Houghton confirmed about 70 to 80 positions would be made redundant worldwide.

“There are roles being made redundant, but new ones have been created and redeployment opportunities exist,” he said.

The changes will take place in the next six to 12 months.

Mr Houghton said Lonely Planet remained committed to content creation and maintaining a Melbourne office.

Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance Victorian branch secretary Louise Connor said she would discuss the planned restructure with Melbourne staff and contributors at the earliest opportunity.

Road blitz nabs cannabis driver with toddler in car A MAN was caught driving while under the influence of cannabis with a child in his car during a road blitz by Hobsons Bay highway patrol.

Acting Sergeant Graeme Crouch said the 31-year-old Yarraville man was caught last Thursday during a booze bus operation on Millers Road near the West Gate Freeway.

“He will be fined $433 and have his licence suspended for three months,” Acting Sergeant Crouch said.

“What was more alarming was the

driver had his two-year-old daughter in the car.”

Drivers were tested at random for drugs. A 21-year-old Ballarat woman who tested positive for methamphetamines was fined $433 and had her licence suspended for three months.

A Seddon man, 29, was caught driving while unlicensed with a bloodalcohol level of .049.

A 49-year-old Altona North P-plater recorded a reading of .033.

A 28-year-old Braybrook man who blew .093 had his licence cancelled for six months and was fined $433.

On Sunday, three drivers were fined for trying to avoid the patrol’s booze bus in Point Cook Road, Seabrook.

They were additionally fined $289 each for crossing double lines.

A Point Cook man, 47, blew twice the legal limit at .1 while a 44-yearold man recorded a reading of .081.

Acting Sergeant Crouch vowed that police would step up their efforts and

set up random breath-testing stations “in new and unique places”.

“I have ordered an increase in booze bus operations to the Hobsons Bay area,” he said. “We will continue to set up and test for the presence of alcohol and drugs at random times of the day and week.

“Every police vehicle is required to do random breath testing throughout their shift. It is clear that people are still not getting the message.”

Pop-up park opposed A 23-signature petition was presented to last night’s Maribyrnong council meeting opposing the Yarraville Village Pop-Up Park project. The petition from Yarraville traders opposes the installation of a temporary or permanent pop-up park in Ballarat Street, arguing the project causes the traders to lose business.

Court action stops planned protest at Laverton knackery

BY NICK TOSCANO and GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK AN animal rights activist is fighting a restraining order that stopped a planned protest of up to 300 people outside a Laverton knackery last Saturday.

Point Cook’s Anthony Swords

appeared in Werribee Magistrates Court yesterday to contest an interim intervention order that led to the rally being called off.

Mr Swords said he had organised the “peaceful protest” to speak out against the knackery after covert footage that emerged last year appeared to show brutal treatment

and inhumane slaughter of former racehorses.

The RSPCA deemed the footage distressing and concerning, but said there was insufficient evidence to lay animal cruelty charges. The knackery was issued a formal warning.

Mr Swords was visited by Werribee police about 7.30am on Saturday

and served with the order. The order prohibited him from attending the property to protest. He said one of the conditions implied that if anyone else protested, he would be held responsible and would be arrested.

“The only thing we could do was cancel the protest,” Mr Swords said.

Magistrate Sharon Cure said she did

not like the sound of how the horses at the knackery were being shot dead.

She warned the applicant that intervention orders could not be taken out to keep protesters away from a property, but only to protect a person.

The case will go to a contest mention at Werribee Magistrates Court on October 25.

MARIBYRNONG council has continued to cut down mature trees in Kingsville despite residents seeking a postponement of the work.

Queensville Street residents are upset at the removal of more than two dozen trees but the council argues they had to go and that 60 new trees will be planted in their place.

Resident Toni McClean said she and other residents were emotional about losing the trees.

“They’re melaleucas, they were 40 years old,” she said. “They’re quite significant trees and they’re native to Australia – there’s just no mercy, really.”

Ms McClean said “a nice cathedral effect” down Queensville Street had been destroyed.

“We don’t hear the birds any more – the birdlife has gone,” she said.

Mark Stacey said that after a similar tree removal on nearby Wales Street, the summers were hotter.

“It’s cut first then ask questions later,” he said.

Fiona Knight said she asked the council workers what alternatives had been considered for saving the trees and she had been told there was no other way.

“They’ve come from the premise they just want to do the work and

they just want to chop the trees down,” she said. “We asked for six months to look at alternatives.”

The residents have formed a Save SKY (Seddon, Kingsville and Yarraville) Streetscapes group, which now has almost 40 members.

Ms Knight said it was too late to protect the trees on Queensville Street, but hopefully other street trees could be saved.

The tree removal was carried out as part of underground drainage works.

Yarraville ward councillor Martin Zakharov said if the trees had been left in place, the drainage works could have damanged the roots and caused the trees to die slowly.

“In some of these streets there has been nothing significant done in more than 60 years,” he said. Cr Zakharov said the drought had taken its toll on many of the area’s trees, causing roots to become shallow and spread towards homes.

He added that street trees would always attract a wide range of opinions. “The council tries to prepare appropriate guidelines,” he said. “It is not a situation where there is a compromise that suits everybody.”

The council is expected to adopt its new street tree planting strategy at next Tuesday’s city development special committee meeting.

Ryan has the numbers in Lalor

BY NICK TOSCANO

vote was “to be expected”.

“She’s well known, she has been a good branch member, she’s local and has worked in the electorate most of her life,” Mr Cody said, adding that Ms Ryan would be the first Lalor resident selected as the party’s candidate in decades.

Before the vote, Ms Ryan said local branch members had been “incredibly supportive and encouraging”.

She said she believed improving education outcomes was the most pressing issue in Lalor.

“Julia and I bonded over a passion for education and the difference it makes for people’s lives,” she said.

“I also look forward to embedding the national disability insurance scheme and to see that evolve and take shape . . . then the NBN rollout in Wyndham.”

CATHY JACKSON

Joanne Ryan convincingly won Monday night’s local ballot to replace former prime minister Julia Gillard as Labor’s candidate for Lalor.

The 51-year-old primary school principal and community campaigner from Werribee reportedly won 74 of the 88 votes cast.

Ms Ryan defeated Brian Dunn, of Werribee, and Julie Ann Evans, of Williamstown, after several candidates withdrew their nominations.

The party’s 100-member public office selection committee was last night expected to conduct a vote for its preferred candidate, which is given equal weighting with the local vote.

Werribee branch member Ray Cody said it was unlikely the committee would overturn such an overwhelming endorsement of Ms Ryan. He said the result of the local

Possible candidate: Aid worker Nathan Mullins is weighing up his options.

A FORMER western suburbs cop and special forces soldier has broken with a lifetime of ALP support, flagging he may run as an independent candidate for Lalor.

Altona’s Nathan Mullins, 40, said he felt a “great dissatisfaction” at Labor’s ‘‘neglect’’ of Melbourne’s western suburbs.

Now a humanitarian aid worker in developing countries, Mr Mullins singled out soaring unemployment rates in places like Wyndham as proof the electorate was in need of change.

He suggested a federal focus on tax breaks and sustainable investment in local businesses as the best ways to reverse the jobs slide.

“In most of the world, development professionals tell us to invest in local businesses, encourage entrepreneurship and develop training schemes to ensure we’re preparing our youth for the workforce,’’ Mr Mullins said. “For some reason, we seem to be failing that back here.”

He hopes his platform of promoting core Labor values without being a prisoner to party politics will cut through.

HOBSONS Bay residents could be swapping car trips for ferry rides into Melbourne within two years following expansion of Wyndham Harbour.

Planning Minister Matthew Guy last week announced plans to add about 150 houses and 500 people to the Werribee South marina development to improve viability of a proposed ferry service from Werribee to the CBD. The government says the ferry will stop at Werribee, Altona and Williamstown.

Mr Guy said Wyndham Harbour was one of the most significant developments for the western suburbs since World War II and the expansion was a key part of a future ferry service.

“This will change the way of thinking about Melbourne’s western suburbs,” he said. ‘‘[The expansion] will increase critical mass for Wyndham Harbour and the population based here at the southern part of the Werribee growth corridor will make a ferry service viable.”

THE Environment Protection Authority has completed its assessment of an environmental audit that deems Jack Madigan Reserve safe to be opened to the public, despite former workers at the dumping ground expressing concern that records have been destroyed and the site is dangerous.

As reported by the Weekly, former Defence Department truck driver David King said many of his former workmates died from cancer after dumping radioactive oil and toxic chemicals at the Newport site in the 1980s.

Mr King, 57, has a rare intestinal cancer. During World War II, Australia’s navy used the site to store ship oil underground.

A Defence spokeswoman said the department was aware of a compensation claim made by Mr King in 1993.

“This claim was rejected on the basis that there was no demonstrated link between Mr

King’s employment and his medical condition,’’ she said. ‘‘Defence is committed to its obligations to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety of its workers while at work and that the health and safety of other persons is not put at risk by its activities.”

But a 1998 book published by law firm Slater and Gordon, titled That Disreputable Firm, states that in that year, of 28 drivers including Mr King, 13 had died.

Since the book’s publication, three more have died.

Another former driver, Colin Palmer, worked at the site from 1985-1988. He, too, has had cancer.

Mr Palmer said he was concerned about the potential risks posed by the site.Another former defence worker, Charlie Fiorini, OK said he was concerned records had disappeared.

“We were exposed to asbestos,” he said. ““We were actually supposed to have x an X-ray every one or two years, but all the records were destroyed.”

Libs’ man wants ‘safest’ ALP seat

By Benjamin Millar

SUPPLIED

LABOR’S stranglehold on the western suburbs is slipping away on the back of voter frustration, according to Gellibrand Liberal candidate David McConnell.

Confirming his candidacy in the coming federal election, the 47-yearold father of three from Seddon said the area was suffering from its status as the nation’s safest Labor seat.

Gellibrand has been held by just four MPs in its 64-year history – all Labor – but Mr McConnell believes the departure of incumbent MP Nicola Roxon opens up the race.

Labor holds Gellibrand with a margin of 24 per cent, its largest margin in the nation.

Mr McConnell has previously contested Gellibrand and neighbouring Lalor as well as the state seat of Williamstown.

He “found it most extraordinary”

that Labor had pre-selected Tim Watts to contest Gellibrand, given the Telstra executive has been living in Fitzroy. “I think it is important that you are in touch with the local community. The main issue raised has been infrastructure and doing something to try to reduce truck traffic in the area,” he said.

“I come from Seddon and I’m very aware of the truck traffic. I’m pleased to see the federal Liberal party is supporting the east-west link.”

Mr McConnell, self-employed in the IT industry and a registered builder, would like to see compliance hassles reduced for small businesses dealing with the taxation system.

With refugee and asylum seeker policy a key election issue, Mr McConnell said something needed to be done humanely.

“Changing the visa requirements for people to get into Indonesia looks like a positive step,” he said.

West could use camera cash

Meet and greet: David McConnell, with daughters Meg,11, and Amelia,8, prepares for a street walk in Williamstown.

A HOBSONS Bay councillor is calling on the state government to redirect $150,000 allocated to Glen Eira for CCTV cameras, which the eastern suburbs council rejected.

Glen Eira councillors last week voted to refuse the offer to pay for CCTV cameras in Bentleigh’s Centre Road shopping centre.

Cherry Lake councillor Tony Briffa, whose ward includes Altona’s foreshore and crime-plagued Harrington Square, called on western suburbs Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury to lobby for Hobsons Bay to receive cash for cameras.

“Given the city of Glen Eira does not want the $150,000 allocated to it by the state government for CCTV cameras, I would like the government to consider allocating it to Hobsons Bay where we ... can utilise the funds for CCTV cameras in known problem areas,” Cr Briffa said.

Mr Elsbury said the money could not simply be redirected, but he would support a funding application from Hobsons Bay. — Goya Dmytryshchak

MARIBYRNONG’S high rates of hepatitis C are being highlighted as part of Hepatitis Awareness Week (July 21-28).

Hepatitis Victoria data reveals Maribyrnong has the third-highest rate of hepatitis C infections in metropolitan Melbourne, with 68.6 positive tests per 100,000 people in the 12 months to last August.

Western Region Health Centre will run a community hepatitis information stall in Footscray Mall from 10am-2pm on Monday.

The centres’s chief executive Lyn Morgain said there was a wide range of misinformation surrounding the liver-damaging virus.

“By being present in the community, WRHC staff can assist people to be proactive in looking after themselves, whether this is to reduce risk, gain diagnosis, or manage their health while living with hepatitis,” she said.

MORE than 70 new jobs have been created in Maribyrnong as part of Bunnings Warehouse’s first twostorey complex in Victoria.

The $45 million Bunnings Warehouse Highpoint opens its doors next Monday following a year-long construction period.

Complex manager Travis Patchett said that at more than 17,000 square metres, the new Rosamond Road store would be three times the size of the existing company warehouse in Maribyrnong, which would be closed.

“This is a unique project and I think it will do very well in this area,” he said. “We have 100 team members who will be coming across from the existing store and we have brought in 73 new members in the last two months.”

The new site features an outdoor nursery, drive-through timber yard, a landscape yard and a range of kitchen and bathroom displays.

There are also a playground, café

and parking for more than 400 cars.

With an eye to sustainability, the two-storey complex has been built with energy and water-saving design features such as skylights and a 135,000-litre underground rainwater tank to irrigate the outdoor nursery and a 5000-litre tank to supply water for toilets.

Mr Patchett said it was a good feeling to see everything come together in time for Monday’s opening.

“It has been amazing how well everyone has been working together,” he said. “For me, this is something completely new – we haven’t dealt with a second storey here in Victoria before.”

Mr Patchett said the store would meet a growing demand in the area for specialised hardware items, along with outdoor living, leisure and lifestyle products.

The existing Bunnings Warehouse on the corner of White and Rosamond roads will have its final trading day on Monday, the same day the new Bunnings opens its doors.

Reflecting on race: Daniel Haile-Michael and Maki Issa have been discriminated against by police.

A profile of unease African youth and police are grappling with sensitive issues, writes Benjamin Millar vulnerable members of the community,” he says.

“With each wave of migration it has been the same thing.”

The court case wound up in February with an out-of-court settlement.

Chief Commissioner Ken Lay denied racial profiling was taking place but admitted relations between some police and young African men in and around the Flemington area had been “quite problematic”.

Victoria Police agreed to examine internal policies on stop-and-search and person checks, and its cross-cultural training system.

Police are inviting community feedback on field contact procedures and training in ‘diversity’ issues. Submissions are being accepted until the end of this month.

Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria director Ross Barnett said the inquiry was an opportunity for police to consider “overdue reform”.

At an ‘After the race discrimination case’ forum convened in April by the Flemington Kensington Community Legal Centre, public interest law partner at Arnold Bloch Leibler, Peter Seidel – who represented the six applicants pro bono – said there were claims of racial taunts, unjustifiable searches, misuse of power and incidents involving physical assaults – all based on race.

FKCLC principal solicitor Tamar Hopkins has long been a campaigner on the issue. As well

as spearheading the legal battle, she is leading the push for receipting, whereby police provide a receipt to those who have been stopped and searched to improve data collection and transparency.

“We believe the data you have been hearing about under-represents the problem of racial profiling in Victoria,” she says.

Just weeks after the forum, reports emerged of racist stubby holders that had been produced and used by Sunshine police.

In April last year the Sunshine police social club produced about 50 stubby holders One side featured a cartoon image of a mudfish, derogatory slang for Africans, and the words: ‘Whoever says Sunshine brings happiness has never worked here’. The other side mocked refugees, many of whom may not know their date of birth.

When Sunshine police’s Inspector Michael Grainger discovered the derogatory stubby holders, the two sergeants responsible were given workplace counselling, but no further action was taken.

When news of the stubby holders emerged in May, the Chief Commissioner asked that the ‘no action’ decision be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Andrew Crisp said, “I cannot defend the indefensible – the stubby holder was inappropriate.” He pointed

to the “tough stand” Victoria Police had taken in 2010 in sacking four officers and demoting one for sending and forwarding inappropriate emails with “racist elements”.

“Victoria Police in no way condones racist acts, activities, language or – as we see on this stubby holder – depictions that could be misconstrued or misunderstood by the community,” Acting Deputy Commissioner Crisp said. “The vast majority of our members are doing a fantastic job, and when we have instances such as this it actually undermines the great work that our members do, particularly out in the western suburbs.”

Braybrook African community leader Abeselom Nega says such incidents can break down months of solid community engagement.

He says Victoria Police has shown leadership on racism, but the effects have not been cascading down. “The police need to examine the way they’re interacting with the public.”

Haile-Michael says the antagonism that spilled over in Flemington has settled. But flashpoints have emerged elsewhere and he believes the march of gentrification will force the African community out of Footscray, with young people instantly regarded with suspicion and driven from areas where they feel safe.

“Footscray has become an important meeting place because you can speak your language,” he says. “But there is a sense that, with all this

development, they want to move this whole demographic out of this area.”

For their part, Footscray police have been working hard to build bridges with the community. Inspector Tony Long says a dedicated liaison officer and members take part in regular activities aimed at building two-way trust. “Programs like these are great to build relationships between young people, police and support agencies; they also to help people who are new to this country understand the role of the police here.”

For Haile-Michael, the problems can’t simply be patched over by goodwill. He would like to see better relations develop with police but sees the longer term issues in a broader light.

“When you bring it down to the root causes, it’s just about people and their insecurities,” he says. “There is not much sense in it.”

He sees systemic inequality in every aspect of a young African Australian’s life, from educational opportunities to meaningful work and societal acceptance.

Yet he is not entirely pessimistic about the future or the review into policing procedures sparked by his case.

“You always have to hold hope, but to what extent are they going to change? There definitely will be something to come out of this but, to be honest, I don’t know what,” he says.

Victoria Police will respond to the review by the end of the year.

ooking back on his teen years, Daniel Haile-Michael acknowledges he and his friends weren’t perfect.

Growing up in the high-rise towers looming above Flemington, open spaces in and around Debneys Park were an obvious place to meet, escaping cramped homes and the summer heat.

But Haile-Michael and his friends stood out.

Dark skin marked their African heritage and it was this, they say, that drew more attention than warranted by Victoria Police.

In a protracted court case settled earlier this year, six applicants alleged that from 2005 to 2009, police officers stopped and questioned them on the basis of their race, rather than for legitimate policing reasons.

They also alleged assaults and excessive use of force.

Analysis of Victoria Police’s LEAP data from the period shows young African-Australians under-represented in local crime statistics but 2.4 times more likely to be stopped by police.

Victoria Police denied the allegations, citing the interactions as legitimate police business in the investigation of crime. But Haile-Michael, lead applicant in the case and now 22, has no doubt his community has been unfairly targeted, not just in policing but more generally.

“The fact is there is an attack on the most

From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia?

DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible?

DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?

No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

One scheme.

One focus on individuals.

One commitment to lifelong support.

Grant helps adults to learn locally ADULT education in the Footscray area has been given the welcome boost of a $45,171 grant to Westgate Community Initiatives Group for its ‘learn local’ program.

The organisation is one of 53 statewide to share in $2.63 million from the state government to better meet adult education skills and training.

The grant will help WCIG offer new courses and expand services, including online and self-paced learning.

Western suburbs MP Andrew Elsbury, pictured with staff, said Victoria was increasingly in need of a workforce with higher skill levels and qualifications “to supply the skills our knowledge-based economy will need”.

Offering vocational, language, literacy and numeracy and work-skill courses, Victoria’s 300 Learn Local organisations provide education and training to more than 95,000 people every year.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?

No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?

DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

Stitch in time to help women

By Goya Dmytryshchak

Council launches new graffiti blitz

THREE women from Altona’s Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre are raising money to build a women’s refuge in Uganda, where family violence is aided by a culture of acceptance.

Centre manager Jill Bilston, staffer Kim Reilley and volunteer Tricia Salau have already built up mutual trust and respect with members of the Ugandan Ride 4 a Woman (R4W) co-operative by helping them develop a sewing microbusiness.

In August last year, the Altona-based trio visited the HIV-ravaged country to donate sewing machines and teach the women to sew tourist items.

R4W works to empower women in communities surrounding the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.

Ms Reilley said while family violence was not unique to Uganda and its government was trying to

improve the situation, change would take a while.

“Over 60 per cent of the women will face some sort of domestic violence at some point of their life.” she said.

“A lot of people in Uganda think it’s OK for a man to beat his wife if she’s gone out somewhere and hasn’t told him where she’s going.”

The trio is aiming to raise $10,000 to build a women’s refuge on ancestral land owned by the head of R4W. Ms Bilston said that over the course of a year, several hundred women were expected to benefit from the refuge.

The Revolving Gallery, running until August 29, is a series of pop-up exhibitions.

A book sale and market for Ugranda will run on July 31. The Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre is at 5 Sargood Street, Altona.

A GRAFFITI blitz is under way to tackle the rise in illegal graffiti on public and private property in Maribyrnong.

Under the three-month program, the council will send contractors onto private properties to remove illegal graffiti as a free, one-off service.

Mayor Catherine Cumming said there were a number of unappealing graffiti attacks defacing property and making the municipality less attractive.

The council is working with police and the Department of Justice on a program to report and remove illegal graffiti and help traders and property owners deal with the costly issue.

Graffiti removal is the responsibility of the property owner, but the council offers free graffiti removal kits to residents. The community is being urged to report illegal graffiti to the council or police as soon as it appears.

Report graffiti on 9688 0200, email@maribyrnong.vic.gov.au or via Maribyrnong council’s mobile phone app.

What is this Referendum on Local Councils all about?

When our Constitution was written more than 112 years ago there was no mention of Federal Government funding for Local Councils or community projects.

This means there is now an unforeseen loophole in the way many community projects are currently funded. It means important funds for community projects are open to challenge because Federal funding is not referred to in the Constitution.

If any challenge is successful, Federal funding for important community facilities and services like ‘Roads to Recovery’, Child Care Centres, Libraries, Community Sports Grounds, Community Centres, Swimming Pools and Public Parks may have to be withdrawn.

That’s why there is a referendum to bring the Constitution up to date – to ensure and protect the way many important community projects are funded.

Here are some more important things to know.

Does this have the support of Federal Parliament with members voting in favour by a margin of 179 to 10?

Does this have the support of Local Councils in all States and Territories around Australia?

YES YES

Is updating the Constitution the only way to legitimise direct Federal funding for these community needs?

YES

Will projects remain subject to public scrutiny and the proper checks and balances before approval?

YES

Will Local Councils still be accountable and answerable to State Governments?

Has this update been supported by an independent committee of Constitutional experts?

Does voting NO really put funding for local projects and services like ‘Roads to Recovery’, Childcare Centres, Libraries, Community Sports Grounds, Swimming Pools, Community Centres and Public Parks at risk?

YES YES YES

Behind a hardwood picket fence and cottage garden that includes a weeping cherry blossom, irises, daphne, arum lily, ground cover and jasmine on the fence, the scalloped weatherboard residence is a picture of elegance behind its fretwork-adorned verandah.

Transformed over the past seven years by the current vendors, the single-fronted gem will be a haven for a professional couple or small family.

A security door opens to the long entry hall with baltic pine polished floorboards and high ceilings. Off the hall are two double bedrooms with plantation shutters and fitted robes.

A door at the end of the hall opens to the full-width lounge room. Blackwoodtopped storage cabinets are on either side of the blocked fireplace, with a concealed entertainment unit and surround-sound wiring.

Another door leads into the eat-in kitchen.

Integrating a pantry under the overmantel in the original hearth, the kitchen also has a De Longhi upright oven with four-burner gas cooktop and glass splashback, a Miele canopy rangehood, porcelain sink, hanging racks and Tasmanian oak overhead cupboards.

Doors directly off this area access the third bedroom and a compact bathroom. The latter includes a shower over the hip bath, and a floating vanity with raised basin.

Another door enters the vestibule with full-

length, blackwood-topped storage cabinets, and beyond into the original lean-to that has been subsequently rebuilt to encapsulate the laundry with Rheem copper hot water system, toilet, and a study or kids’ playroom. This opens on one side to the side walkway and on the other to a backyard with avocado tree, camellia bush, daphne, pittosporum, storage shed and brick-edged garden beds.

Extras include Siemens hydronic heating, evaporative cooling and a Bosch alarm.

The position, in a quiet, family-friendly street, is hard to beat. Midway between Seddon and Yarraville village shops and cafes, it also has a church across the road, and stations, schools, bus, sports facilities and parkland (Yarraville Park and Cruikshank Park) nearby.

Finger on the Pulsar ... as reincarnation cruises past competitors, writes Rod Easdown

N

issan Pulsars first hit the market in the late 1970s – they were Datsuns back then – and have always presented robust value. My favourite was the N14 between 1990 and 1995, the best Pulsar of the lot.

In 2005, Nissan replaced the Pulsar with a comprehensively dreadful thing carrying a name few could pronounce or spell, Tiida.

Many people outside the company, and quite a few inside it, thought this was dumb and it sold only on price. Nissan’s share of the smallcar market plummeted.

After just eight years, Nissan has awakened to the error of its ways and the Pulsar is back.

It’s a ripper.

The current yardstick in the small-car market is Mazda’s 3, and the new Pulsar is every bit as good. But it faces two significant hurdles: the Mazda is cheaper (down here price is critical), and has more power than the Pulsar. The power isn’t something you’ll notice. The Nissan is lighter and feels just as fast and responsive as the Mazda. As for

price, well Nissan salespeople have always had sharper pencils than anyone else. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Pulsar give the 3, and indeed the Corolla, the Focus and the i30, a fright.

Early evidence suggests this is already happening. Pulsar sales are strong and Mazda has lately dropped the base price of the 3 to $19,990 – a great deal by any definition.

Meanwhile the cheapest Pulsar is $21,878.

Officially, anyway.

Nissan has learnt much from the Tiida embarrassment. The Pulsar’s sound-proofing is good, the manual gear change is fast and smooth, the front seats are excellent and there’s generous legroom in the rear. The boot is commodious and there’s a full-size spare.

Equipment is as you’d expect. All models get cruise, Bluetooth and five-star safety, the STL adds a dash screen, USB and iPod connectivity and other bits and pieces.

The Pulsar’s difference is that it’s good to drive. It rides well and handles acceptably,

Nissan Pulsar STL sedan What is it? Back at last.

What’s in it? A 96-kilowatt 1.8-litre with a six-speed manual.

Continuously variable auto adds $2250.

Is it thirsty? I used 9 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 6.6 in the country. The official combined figure is 7.2.

it cruises nicely in the country, and the fuel economy is good. And it’s well made with high structural integrity.

This is an easy car to drive and fits like an old pair of jeans. But when you get thoroughly into the act of driving, it can be highly satisfying, just like the N14. So it’s a much more rewarding thing than any of its major competitors. Recommended.

Things you didn’t know about motoring Northwestern University research suggests women are on average charged 6 per cent more than men for similar repairs. But while a third of women asking for a discount get one, it’s a quarter for men.

By Lance Jenkinson

CITY West Falcons will return to the Victorian Netball League championship division grand final after a 50-43 win over Peninsula Waves in the major semi-final at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Wednesday night.

Defending champion Falcons went into the game as underdogs having spent most of the season trailing in the Waves’ wake.

What the Falcons did have in abundance over the No. 1ranked side was finals experience and they used every bit of that knowledge to lay the platform for the seven-goal victory. Falcons settled better, taking a three-goal lead into the first break, a lead they held on to and extended.

Waves goaler Mwayi Kumwenda posed the greatest threat, the Malawi international hitting 30 from 32 attempts.

But the Falcons had scoring power of their own with Julia Knott (33 from 45) and Maggie Lind (17 from 19). The Falcons get the week off before a July 31 grand final against the victor of tomorrow night’s preliminary final between the Waves and VU-Western Lightning.

VU-Western Lightning staved off a late challenge from Monash University Central to claim a narrow 40-39 victory in the Victorian Netball League championship minor semifinal at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Wednesday night.

The Lightning fluffed a chance to take a seven-goal lead late in the third quarter and Central made them pay by reeling off five unanswered goals to make it a tighter-than-expected finish.

“We really probably should’ve had the game won at three-quarter time,” Lightning coach Matt Hills told the Weekly.

“We had a six-goal lead and had a chance to score to go seven up before the break, but we missed that shot and allowed them to score the last two goals of the third quarter and the first three of the last and it was game on again.”

The Lightning held on to book a preliminary final date with topranked finalist Peninsula Waves.

The thrilling end was not out of the norm for a Lightning-Central affair with the teams having battled out a draw and three one-goal games over the past three years.

Despite the Lightning’s third place ranking and Central qualifying in fourth, question marks lingered over the Lightning heading into the finals, particularly after losing to Central heavily in the last home-and-away game.

Hills and his coaching crew got to work in the lead-up to rescue the Lightning from its floundering form in the latter stages of the regular season.

“We had to go away and do a lot of work, and do some plans to change that result and we were able to do that,” Hills said.

“Specifically, we wanted to change how we move the ball in the front end and open up play to move the ball forward, instead of moving it sideways.

“You take the last quarter out of it; we scored quite well till three-quarter time and certainly were able to play to those instructions and put those patterns in place in play.”

The Lightning goalers, Megan Fitzpatrick and Erin McCarthy, were an unshakable combination.

Fitzpatrick landed 26 of 33 to put her hand up for the game’s MVP, while McCarthy hit 14 of 18.

When the Lightning score 40 goals or more this season, they are 10-1.

Full-strength CYs bolster finals bid

By Lance Jenkinson A WEEK is a long time in football – as Williamstown CYMS proved with two vastly different results in Victorian Amateur Football Association division 1.

The CYs created doubts about their finals credentials with a 95-point thrashing at the hands of Ormond in round 12, but that result had a lot to do with seven first-team regulars missing.

With those players back in the fold, a full-strength CYs side showed what it is capable of with a stunning 14-point win over undefeated Hampton Rovers at Fearon Reserve on a soggy Saturday.

“It was probably one of the strongest teams we’ve been able to field all year,” CYs coach Mathew Montebello said. “The boys being primed to redeem from the previous week was also a big factor.

“When we’re all fully fit and have our best team to choose from, I consider us a contender. We’ve still got a long way to go to prove that.”

At times, the game resembled a rugby maul due to the sty-like conditions. The teams had to simplify their playing styles and attempt to gain territory with every kick. The CYs, familiar with the smaller dimensions of the ground, did just that, while the Rovers took a while to adjust.

‘It was probably one of the strongest teams we’ve been able to field all year’ “It was definitely always about trying to move the ball forward and not muck around with it,” Montebello said.

He said the Rovers tried to use similar tactics to those suitable for the open spaces of their home ground.

“They obviously tried not to overuse the ball, but they still looked for the space out wide,” he said. “They tried to take it out the way it came in.”

The CYs recorded a massive 167

Promotion?

Glory be!

tackles – up from the 90 they usually register on a good day.

“Our stats were off the charts,” Montebello said.

Ruckman Steven Puhar led the way for CYs with 15 defensive pressure acts on his birthday.

Jason Bencich, Matt Carland, John Gallivan and Jack Gray were huge defensively.

Unsurprisingly, goals were scarce, with CYs requiring only three goalkickers – two each to Ben Gray, Ross Cassidy and Josh Vanderloo – to win the game six goals to four.

Second-placed CYs will be hot favourites against third-last Old Geelong away at Como Park on Saturday.

Thumped Gulls drop to fourth

By Daniel Paproth

Matt Roberts/Getty Images

AT quarter-time in its VFL clash with fierce rival Port Melbourne, Williamstown led 2.3 (15) to 2.1 (13).

At full-time, the Gulls trailed by 69 points, having added only four measly behinds to their tally after quarter-time.

Port, which won the first clash between the two sides in round eight, again emerged victorious in extremely wet and heavy conditions at North Port Oval with a scoreline of 13.10 (88) and 2.7 (19).

Despite the thrashing, Williamstown football manager Chris Dixon said the Seagulls were competitive for much of the first half before Port got the momentum late in the second.

“A few late goals sapped the confidence a bit,” he said.

But Dixon said the final margin was justified.

“For the first 45 minutes we were competitive in the conditions but the second half was very disappointing,” he said. “We deserved what we got in the second half – dishing up that sort of football the scoreboard was no surprise.

“The conditions are the same for both sides and Port dealt with them much better. ” The loss was the Seagulls’ second in a row after three straight wins and dropped them to fourth on the ladder, with the Borough moving to third.

Home games against Frankston, Geelong and the Northern Blues are ahead in the final five rounds, with away matches against Collingwood and North Ballarat.

Libba junior makes it 50 for Bulldogs Tom Liberatore, one of the most talented youngsters at the Western Bulldogs, will notch up his 50th AFL game at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, playing against the West Coast Eagles. At 21, Liberatore is already the contested ball king at the kennel, and he compares favourably across the competition in clearances (first), contested possessions (fourth) and tackles (11th). ‘‘Libba’’, who arrived at the Whitten Oval under the father-son rule from the Calder Cannons in 2010, plays in a similar style to that of his dad, Tony, who played 283 games for the Bulldogs from 1986-2002 and won the 1990 Brownlow Medal.

A MONTH ago, any suggestion Yarraville Glory could challenge for promotion in the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 3 northwest would have been deemed laughable.

Not any more.

The Glory has become a serious contender.

The team has turned its fortunes around dramatically with three wins and a draw in four rounds to move to within two points of the top two.

Even Glory president Jon Balakis had his doubts and aired his concerns with senior coach Charlie Egan.

Egan told him to keep the faith.

“Three or four weeks ago, we might’ve been in survival mode,” Balakis said. “I asked Charlie, ‘What are we doing, are we going to go down again?’

“He said, ‘Nah mate, just hang in there – we’re still going to go for promotion’, and I said, ‘Really?’”

The Glory continued its winning streak with a 3-1 win over Banyule City at McIvor Reserve.

Incredibly, it was the only match that went ahead in the division, with all other games postponed due to Melbourne’s big wet.

“That’s the one thing about Yarraville’s ground – it holds up really well and the drainage is fantastic,” Balakis said.

“When the soccer field was built about 11 years ago, the drainage they put under it was fantastic and we never have an issue with that main pitch.”

The strike partnership of John Little and Darcey Den Ouden continues to fire.

Little, the veteran who scored a double hat-trick two weeks ago, continued his hot form with two goals. Den Ouden, the speedy teenager, added a goal.

“You can’t beat his experience,” Balakis said of Little. “He’s the one telling the younger blokes where to run and pointing where they should be. The boys are really bouncing off him.”

What might be a glimpse into the future at other clubs is a look at the here and now at the Glory, with the likes of teenagers Chris Williams and Jordan Balakis holding down starting roles.

“They certainly have a bit of talent and they put all the tuition from Charlie on to the pitch,” Balakis said.

The Glory face a tough test on the road against third-placed Sunbury United on Saturday.

Dominant Dom on Target for national road series DOM Dudkiewicz is the 2013 Footscray Cycling Club road champion after enjoying a spectacular week.

Dudkiewicz was the centre of attention for his 30th birthday – he signed a contract with the Target Trek team for the national road series and capped it all off in the Brisbane Ranges with victory in the FCC club championships.

Riders were greeted with blue skies and a moderate north-westerly wind

on Sunday to tackle the notoriously difficult Balliang-Granite road circuit.

A-grade was all about the heavyweights, and they don’t come meaner than Dudkiewicz and bikebug.com’s Ben Johnson.

The bikebug boys put the pressure on the bunch from lap one, which Dudkiewicz expected and welcomed.

“The three bikebug boys, who are all in very good shape at the moment, put it in the gutter on the first lap in the northerly crosswind, which

caught a few guys off-guard and a few got dropped,” he said.

This pattern continued for the initial four laps before the tactic changed.

“On the fourth lap, I put it into the gutter after an attack and counterattacked, and Jason Costin and Ben Johnson went with me,” Dudkiewicz said. “Jason and I took turns, as Ben was maybe wanting to bring us back to his teammates.”

Johnson then attacked, dropping

Costin and making it a two-man break. The two rolled turns for a while, both trying to attack and drop the other.

Eventually, Dudkiewicz wrestled a small gap from Johnson and it then became a 10-kilometre duel.

“Ben was not far behind me so I just kept building the gap,” Dudkiewicz said.

“It was agonizingly slow ... it was mentally and physically like a time trial to the end.

“I rode to the finish feeling absolutely elated and winning on my terms.”

Dudkiewicz was elated with the offer from Target Trek.

The national road series has nine events left in the season, with the next race being the Lakes Oil Tour of Gippsland, starting on Wednesday.

The other winners in the FCC club championships were Matt Heath (B grade), John Boyle (C grade) and Stephen Liley (D grade).

Bully boys tryscoring day out

fOOTSCRAY lost further ground on the Hockey Victoria women’s premier league top four after securing a single point from a doubleheader of games at the weekend.

The sixth-placed Bulldogs were battered from start to finish in a 5-1 defeat to ladder-leader Essendon on Saturday. Their only goal came through captain Leah Merrett.

The Bulldogs managed a 1-1 draw on Sunday with Camberwell, the side that sits directly above them on the table. It was a result that did neither side any favours and saw the top four go clear of the rest of the competition.

Emily Bannan was the goalscorer for the Bulldogs, netting her first of the year.

Altona lost both of its games at home in the doubleheader weekend. The A’s were raided 6-1

by Greensborough on Saturday, before MCC claimed the points 3-1 on Sunday.

FOOTSCRAY showed its mean streak in the Victorian Rugby Union Premier 1 on Saturday.

The bully-boy Bulldogs rubbed salt into the wounds of cellar dweller Box Hill in a 93-0 rout at Henry Turner Reserve.

There was no let-up for 80 torturous minutes.

Scrum-half Keisuke Yamada, winger Joe Masalu and full-back Michael Toetu all scored hat-tricks of tries for the Bulldogs.

There was a double to Isaako Tuifeai and singles to Ikuna Tukuafu, Tim Diack, Cruze Ah-Nau and Calvin Ah Wong in the scoring frenzy.

The goalkickers had a day out, too, with Yamada landing five conversions and fly-half Martin Naufahu adding the extras on four tries.

The Bulldogs got the all-important maximum points to leap into fourth on the ladder.

They will be looking to maintain the rage against second-last Endeavour Hills away on Saturday.

Footscray fails to finish the job

By Lance Jenkinson FOOTSCRAY could only drool over the exquisite finishing of Camberwell and Essendon during its doubleheader weekend in Hockey Victoria men’s premier league.

The Bulldogs matched it in general play with the sides sitting first and third respectively on the ladder, but their lack of cutting edge in the attacking circle proved costly.

Defender Andrew Monte was the lone goalscorer, from a short corner, as the Bulldogs lost 4-0 to Essendon on Saturday.

They followed up with a 3-1 loss to premiership favourite Camberwell on Sunday.

“We generated some good opportunities, but unfortunately we couldn’t get them in the back of the net,” Bulldogs coach Travis Brooks said. “Our finishing has let us down.”

The Bulldogs will not let the point-less weekend deter them from ambitions to challenge for a top-four berth.

With seven games remaining, the tricolours are six points behind the third and fourth-placed teams, a challenge that is not insurmountable.

There was something of a recalibration of the club’s ambitions at the midpoint of the season, turning them from wanting to avoid relegation to the players believing they can reach the finals.

54 WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE \ July 24, 2013

But Brooks has never deviated from his belief that the Bulldogs were a threat to the top four.

“I wasn’t too worried about concentrating on avoiding relegation – I was looking up the ladder and how we can head in that direction,” Brooks said.

“Our goal was to try to make the finals from just before the halfway mark of the year ... we sat down as a group and discussed it, and thought we could definitely do it.

“In terms of where we sit now, I’m not sure if we’ve lost touch with the final four, but we’ve just got to take each game now and try and get the three points ... you just never know what can happen in this competition

because it’s been so tight.

“Get the job done on the weekend, take care of our bit and let the rest of the competition sort themselves out.”

Monte has been one of the standouts for the Bulldogs.

Not only has the Albury recruit marshalled the defence, he has been lethal from set piece situations with a team-high 13 goals.

“His experience at the back has been fantastic for some of the younger guys in the group,” Brooks said.

“He’s sort of teaching them on some of the finer points of defending.”

Some of the youngsters who have made an impact for the Bulldogs this

season include Liam Braithwaite, Riley Damnics and Oscar Allan, who, along with reserves goalkeeper Peter Wroblewski, featured in Victoria’s triumph at the under-18 national championships.

“It’s a good sign for the club to have four guys part of that team,” Brooks said.

The Bulldogs face fourth-placed Hawthorn in a must-win at the Hawthorn-Malvern Hockey Centre on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Chris Porter and Nil Garcia found the net in Altona’s 3-1 victory over Greensborough.

The A’s could not repeat the dose on Sunday, losing to Camberwell with the same scoreline.

Economy-class Devils ditch deadbeat tag

By Lance Jenkinson NORTH Footscray had a metaphorical win in the Western Region Football League division 1 at the weekend.

Not in terms of the win-loss column, but in the development of a shoestring budget side that is clearly out of its depth in the west’s top flight.

When Ross Hedley took over from John Barnes as Devils coach after round four, all he asked for was a commitment to the cause on the training track and gradual improvement on the park.

Hedley has received both in his 10 weeks in charge.

His first game, in round five, was nothing short of a disaster. The Devils scored just three behinds to be merely witches hats next to powerhouse

Spotswood, which booted 50 goals in a 325-point obliteration.

The two sides met again on Saturday, just 70 days after that dark episode.

This time around, things were a little different, and the Woodsmen did not have it all their own way.

They won by 95 points, but the Devils were not disgraced and managed to boot five goals of their own in a vastly improved showing.

“It was a 32-goal turnaround,” Hedley said. “I have seen improvement, which is pleasing.”

Improvement is not always measured in premiership points.

The Devils are fielding two full teams every week.

Despite their terrible record, players are turning up to training in good numbers.

‘I’m trying to put as much enjoyment into it as possible in regards to training so the boys keep turning up.’

“All my aim has been is to strip it right back to the bare basics,” Hedley said. “We do basic drills at training, keep the gameplan simple ... I’m trying to put as much enjoyment into it as possible in regards to training so the boys keep turning up.

“To their credit, they have been fantastic – we’ve been getting 35-plus on Tuesday nights and 35-40 on Thursday nights, and we’ve been able to put 22 players on the paddock every week in both grades.”

Hedley’s appointment was made as a stop-gap measure.

The 2011 division 2 premiership coach wanted to help out the club in its hour of need.

“The club has always been good to me,” he said.

Hedley insists the Devils will not be a basket case on the field if they are relegated to division 2 next season.

He is confident there is enough young talent on the books to be competitive with the best sides in the second tier.

“If they can hold on to the core of players they’ve got at the moment, they’re very young, it would be a pretty good gig to take on in regards to the coaching,” he said.

“Get a couple of recruits to top up and off they go.”

The Devils will be desperate to keep hold of Patrick Jackson, who was club best and fairest two years

Turnbull bag lifts Vikings to win

inbrief Basketball Altona Gators’ finals dream has ended with an 83-72 defeat to the McKinnon Cougars in the Big V basketball men’s division 1 on Sunday. The Gators matched it with the visitors for three quarters of a neck-and-neck game, but ran out of puff in the last period.

In the women’s division 1, the Gators suffered a 73-31 loss to Camberwell Dragons.

Rugby league Altona Roosters have stormed to the top of the Victorian Rugby League first-grade ladder. The Roosters made it four consecutive wins with a 30-12 drubbing of the Sunbury United Tigers on the road at Langama Park on Saturday. There is no time for the Roosters to gloat with an eagerly anticipated first-versus-second encounter coming against North West Wolves on Saturday at Loft Reserve.

Lacrosse The Williamstown Fearons were knocked off top spot as a result of their nail-biting 8-7 loss to Caulfield on Saturday. Footscray enjoyed a smoother day, registering a 15-4 win over Surrey Park to move two games clear in the top four.

Surf lifesaving

Six pack: Mitch Turnbull had the kicking boots on.

MITCH Turnbull’s presence inside forward 50 proved the difference as Altona escaped from Port Melbourne with a 12-point win in the Western Region Football League division 1 on Saturday.

Turnbull was unstoppable, bagging six goals.

The Vikings managed only 10 goals, but the winter conditions and muddy ground turned the match into a low-scoring dogfight.

Munir El Houli continued his sparkling form for the Vikings. Adam Camenzuli, Anthony Chiu and Lee Spiteri were also among the best.

Yarraville-Seddon is relieved this week has come to an end.

The Eagles lost the bulk of their score from the previous round’s match after the WRFL tribunal ruled that they were guilty of fielding an extra player against Hoppers Crossing.

Veteran Clint Foreman was suspended for four matches in a charging incident stemming from the same game. Foreman will at least get the chance to have a farewell game in his retirement year, against his former club Albion in round 18.

To top off a bad week, the Eagles were beaten by St Albans by 35 points at Kings Park Reserve on Saturday.

In division 2, Parkside turned its local derby with West Footscray into the most lop-sided game of the round at Shorten Reserve. The miserly Magpies kept the Roosters to just one goal and kicked 25 of their own.

Laverton had a shocker, too, kicking just one goal in a 154-point thrashing from Wyndhamvale.

ago and is odds-on favourite to earn another this season.

“Patty’s had a great year,” Hedley said. “He’s only 21, he won the best and fairest in his first year and probably should’ve won it last year, but got pipped at the post. He’ll probably win it again this year.”

Sam Kater has been outstanding, while Jac Manuell and Anthony Nicholls are players to watch.

Hedley will continue to give his young players an education about the opposition’s experienced campaigners.

“Every week I try, especially with the young blokes, to set them a task to run with one of the opposition’s better players,” he said.

The Devils’ task does not get any easier with top side Deer Park heading to Hansen Reserve on Saturday.

Williamstown Swimming and Life Saving Club was crowned team of the year at Life Saving Victoria’s 10th annual awards of excellence last week. The club was at it again at the weekend, winning the men’s IRB team rescue at the Australian Inflatable Rescue Boat Championships at Mindil Beach in the Northern Territory.
