Allem’s legacy: lessons, heartacheBY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK
Space for reflection: Dina and Ali Halkic on a bench with plaque, which honours their son Allem and all bullying victims.
Pain never goes: Allem Halkic’sgrandparents, Ibro and Mimi Jukic, saynot a day goes by that they don’t think oftheir grandson. Pictures: Shawn Smits
‘‘It’s an emotionalrollercoaster. We allhave a part to play inprevention [of bullying]and that’s the messagethat we’re trying to sendout: not to accept anyform of bullying orvictimisation.’ — Ali Halkic
THREE generations of the Halkicfamily spoke through tears as aremembrance plaque marking thedeath of teenager Allem Halkic wasunveiled at Altona Meadows onSaturday.
Allem was 17 when he jumped from
the West Gate Bridge on February 5,2009, after enduring cyber bullying insilence.
The plaque is on a bench, facing agiant flower sculpture named ‘Grow’,where Allem used to wait for a bus onthe corner of Queen and Mertonstreets.
His parents, Dina and Ali, came tothe bench for the first time onSaturday morning.
‘‘It’s an emotional rollercoaster,’’ MrHalkic said. ‘‘We all have a part to playin prevention [of bullying] and that’sthe message that we’re trying to sendout: not to accept any form of bullyingor victimisation.
‘‘It does cause death and people justneed to be reminded. That is a testa-ment to Allem and a reminder of thesuffering that he had to deal with.’’
Ms Halkic said that since Allem’sdeath, awareness about bullying had
grown. Allem’s 12-year-old nephew,Cuni, said he hadn’t been the samesince the death.
‘‘He was kinda like my big brother.I kinda don’t feel the same.’’
Allem’s grandfather, Ibro Jukic, saidhe had come to the bench every daysince the plaque was erected.
‘‘They [the convicted bully] shouldbe going to jail,’’ he said. ‘‘And to seethis boy [the convicted bully] free.
‘‘Seventeen and a half years [Allemwas, we will] never forget.’’
Celine Creighton, 21, said Allem’sdeath had matured his friends.
‘‘It happened when we were reallyyoung; we were 17 at the time. We’velearnt a lot since then. We’ve lost a lot,but we’ve gained a lot as well.’’
Daniel Heffernan, 22, said he was a
lot more aware of cyber bullying.Police Superintendent Cindy Millensaid Allem’s death and teenage suicidealso affected police officers.
‘‘We’re just members of the com-munity with uniforms on. A lot of ushave our own children as well. It’sabsolutely devastating for us also. Itcan change our lives forever.’’
Following Allem’s death, his parentssuccessfully launched a landmarkprosecution of cyber-bullying offencesand a coronial inquest into their onlyson’s death, among other anti-bullyingand suicide-prevention initiatives.
Anyone with problems can call Life-line on 131114 or Suicide Helpline on1300 651 251. The CompassionateFriends, a support group for bereavedparents, may be reached on9888 4944.

Hey, don’t sweatthe grief bacon
SARAH HARRISQUE SERA
It could have been the end of a beautifulfriendship. “I think your house is reallyhoogly,” declared the gal pal looking
around.Say what!Agreed, a 1960s ski chalet complete with
faux stone walls built by a homesick Austrianwith nary an alp in sight is not to everyone’staste, but that’s pretty harsh, Raelee.
It’s a Danish word, she explains. It’s actuallyspelt hyggelig, but like so many Scandinavianphrases it’s pronounced as if speaking througha kazoo.
It implies a sort of welcoming fire-litcosiness and intimacy.
And it’s just one of scores of evocativewords with no English equivalent.
That tub of ice-cream you ate after breakingup with the boyfriend, creating extra lard onyour hips, is kummerspeck — a German wordthat translates literally as grief bacon.
The person who calls you on your mobileand hangs up so you call back, saving themmoney, is a real prozvonit to the Czechs.
Folk addicted to solarium tans — a laperennially bronzed actor George Hamilton —are called slampadato by the Italians.
For the Yaghan people of Tierra del Fuego,that “look shared by two people each wishingthat the other would do something that theyboth desire but which neither wants toinitiate” is a mamihlapinatapai.
That smart comeback line you thought oftoo late? The French phrase is l’espiritde l’escalier — a retort thought of halfwaydown the stairs. Just where is all this boketto— the Japanese equivalent of gazing vacantlythrough a window — going? Truly, I’m at aloss for words to explain.

Forgive, forget, regroup for ALPBY BENJAMIN MILLAR
THE man likely to take the baton from NicolaRoxon in representing Gellibrand in FederalParliament hopes voters will be able to look pastthe tumultuous ALP preselection battle.
Tim Watts (pictured), who was officiallyendorsed by the party last week after securingmost votes in the local ballot, said the ALP mustregroup and focus on a tough campaign againstan opposition well ahead in the polls.
“I think it was good to have a healthy contestfor preselection. The five candidates all put in ahardworking campaign, but it was obviouslyextremely disappointing to see some of theactions taken late in the campaign.”
This included a ‘dirt sheet’ sent to localmembers making claims about candidate KatieHall, who had been backed by retiring MPNicola Roxon.
Ms Roxon accused elements of the party of
misogyny and lashed out at the “malicious, nastyand false” material.
Mr Watts said he would hate to see women dis-suaded from running for preselection in future.
“Katie’s to be congratulated and should beproud of what she has done.”
Many in the party questioned Mr Watts’nomination, claiming the seat should be reservedfor a female candidate.
He also came under fire for living in Fitzroy,outside the Gellibrand electorate.
But with the backing of factional heavyweightStephen Conroy and a busy few weeks campaign-ing, Mr Watts prevailed over his nearest rivalKimberley Kitching.
Mr Watts, 31, said his priority was to “get outon the ground and start selling Labor’s messageand the real achievements this government hasmade”.
The Telstra executive knows it’s an uphillbattle but says it’s too important an election tothrow in the towel. “As the Prime Minister said,this is going to be tough for Labor. This situationis due in no small part to our own doing. ButTony Abbott’s agenda will harm people. It will bedamaging for the west across the board with lessmoney for important things like education.’’
Mr Watts said he intended to move to theelectorate and show people he was serious aboutrepresenting them in Parliament.
U-turn by new councilon open space issue
Our land: Anne Scott, Laurie Bell, Geoff Mitchelmore and Ophelia Edwards in frontof the disputed property. Picture: Michael Copp
A FORMER councillor has weigh-ed into a battle over a Brooklynhouse that Hobsons Bay Councilwants to sell but residents want tokeep for open space.
As reported by the Weekly inFebruary, Brooklyn residents calledon the council to ‘‘honour its com-mitment’’ to develop a large openspace on the site of a house itbought in Cypress Avenue.
The newly elected council, withthree new members, recentlyflagged plans to subdivide the houseand let residents have a walkwayabout as wide as a driveway.
Following our report, formercouncillor Michael Raffoul wrote
to acting CEO Chris Eddy to statehis concerns. ‘‘During my term asward councillor, I requested fund-ing through the capital worksbudget for $550,000 to be set asideto buy a property in CypressAvenue, Brooklyn, to create a wideopen space linking to FederationTrail Park and Duane Reserve, thuscreating a gateway and connectionbetween the north and south Brook-lyn communities,’’ Mr Raffoulwrote. ‘‘I now understand that thereis a move to subdivide this block tocreate a four-metre-wide easementfor community use with theremainder of the block being soldfor residential development.’’
He said a four-metre easement‘‘will not meet the needs of the com-munity nor the expectation of awide open green connection thatwould at last link the two com-
munities’’. Laurie Bell, committeemember of the Brooklyn ResidentsAction Group, said residents want-ed the council to honour its com-mitment. — Goya Dmytryshchak

Curtains for pub with no cheer?BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK
Safety fears: The dilapidated Oriental Hotel, fenced off by the builder. Picture: Wayne Taylor/The Age
TRADES Hall has endorsed a campaign byWilliamstown residents fighting a high-risedevelopment on the Williamstown peninsula asthe developer this week sought to demolishVictoria’s oldest three-storey brick hotel.
On Monday, the owner of the Port PhillipWoollen Mill site fenced off the Oriental Hotel,saying it posed a public safety risk and must beimmediately demolished in light of last month’sfatal Swanston Street wall collapse.
As reported by the Weekly in February, thedemolition of Williamstown’s second-oldestbuilding (circa 1854) would pave the way for asix-storey, 83-dwelling apartment block.
Hobsons Bay Council refused to allow itsdemolition or an application for a four-storey,51-dwelling development next door.
Evolve Development’s latest application forthe mill site shows plans for a 178-dwelling,11-storey apartment block.
Evolve managing director Ashley Williamssaid structural engineers Aurecon Australia hadre-inspected the building structure at the cornerof Ann Street and Nelson Place and found itposed a public hazard. ‘‘Heritage is importantto us, but not at the expense of public safety andwe urge council and the community to appreci-
ate the risks of inaction on this specific site.”Save Williamstown spokesman Godfrey Moasesaid Evolve could have acted in the past eightyears.
‘‘I have my concerns about the timing of thiswhen they’ve owned this vacant building foryears. I don’t seriously believe it’s beyond ourpowers to repair and renovate Victoria’s oldestthree-storey pub. I think Trades Hall’s actionsshow a lot of people are watching in this state.’’
Mayor Angela Altair said the council hadpreviously commissioned reports to assess thestructural integrity of the Oriental.
She said a municipal building surveyor wouldinspect the Oriental following ‘‘formal advicefrom the developer Evolve that claims the hotelmay collapse’’.
‘‘Further advice and direction will be provid-ed by the council to the developer based on thefindings of the inspections.’’
Time to put truck plan into action: NoonanFUNDING for the mooted TruckAction Plan for the inner west mustbe the state government’s toppriority in next month’s budget,according to Williamstown MPWade Noonan.
Mr Noonan is calling on thegovernment to use the budget tobuild a bypass road connecting thePort of Melbourne and the WestGate Freeway, redirectingthousands of trucks away frominner-west residential streets.
Mr Noonan hopes to addressParliament this week to press thepoint, made in his budget submis-sion to the Victorian Treasurer,that heavy freight movement is thearea’s most pressing infrastructurechallenge.
“Our area simply can’t sustainthe enormous growth that the Portof Melbourne is experiencing with-out building the necessary roadinfrastructure to redirect trucksaway from residential streets,” he
said. “Without the Truck ActionPlan, I think we could reasonablypredict that the number of truckmovements through the inner westeach day will increase to around50,000 by 2030.”
Maribyrnong Council has alsothrown its weight behind the pro-posal, coming out in support oflast month’s protest rally thatclosed the busy Shepherd Bridgeduring morning peak hour.
Mayor Catherine Cumming said
the government must take urgentaction to fix the problem ofincreasing truck numbers.
“There are now 20,000 trucksdriving through our city daily, andnumbers are expected to quad-ruple in 25 years.”
Cr Cumming said truck accessramps off the West Gate Freewayat Hyde Street would allow thePort of Melbourne to grow whilereducing large trucks in residentialstreets. — Benjamin Millar

Universities ‘duped’by spending cutsBY BENJAMIN MILLAR
VICTORIA University could lose more than$4 million a year under the federal government’splan to cut university funding to boost money forschools.
The cuts, announced on Sunday as part of theNational Plan for School Improvement changesto school funding, have been criticised by thestate government and Victoria University.
Vice-chancellor Peter Dawkins said theuniversity faced difficult decisions in dealingwith estimated cuts of $2.7 million next year and$4.4 million every year after.
“We acknowledge the government will usefunds to contribute towards increased fundingfor schools and we believe in increasedinvestment in the school sector.”
But Professor Dawkins said taking fundingfrom universities sent a mixed message.
“It suggests education funding is a zero-sumgame, but many studies have shown that publicmoney invested in education at all levels returnsa positive economic and social benefit.”
He said extra school funding could boostparticipation rates of students in the westernsuburbs, but it could also leave them unable toaccess good-quality tertiary education.
“This defeats the whole purpose of investingin education.”
Under the plan, the federal government wouldinvest two dollars in schools for every extradollar spent by the state governments.
Prime Minster Julia Gillard said spendingwould increase up to $14.5 billion in six years,including an extra $4 billion for Victoria.
“The plan means better resourcing and betterschools. It means a stronger, smarter and fairerAustralia for the future.”
But the Victorian government has slammed thecuts to university spending of close to $200 mil-lion over two years.
A statement said universities had a right to feelduped.
“The most needy students will be burdenedwith greater debt. In addition, thousands of Vic-torian families will be hit with higher study costswith the abolition of upfront fee discounts.”

Funding call for ‘unsafe’ bridgeBY BENJAMIN MILLAR
Listen to us: Cyclists deliver their message to the government. Picture: Benjamin Millar
HUNDREDS of western suburbs cyclists wantPremier Dennis Napthine to find money to fixFootscray’s notorious Shepherd Bridge.
The cyclists yesterday signed a giant letterwhich western suburbs Greens MP ColleenHartland passed on to the Premier.
Brightly coloured bicycle cut-outs and lettersspelling ‘Fix Shepherd Bridge’ were alsoattached to railings on the bridge, which is thekey gateway to the city for cyclists in the west.
Michael Shirkey, who rides from Seddon tothe city for work, said crossing the bridge wasby far the worst part of the journey.
“It’s too narrow, the surface is terrible. Iwould like to at least see a barrier between thepath and the traffic; it’s nerve-racking.”
Heather Barry, who commutes from Kings-ville to Docklands, is also uneasy about thebridge. “It’s far too narrow. It’s really unevenand so heavily used it can be really dangerous.It’s great to see lots of people wanting to ride,but it’s really unsafe.”
Fixing Shepherd Bridge was proposed as partof the Truck Action Plan, currently underreview as part of east-west link developmentwork.
Bicycle Victoria has declared improvementsto Shepherd Bridge its top priority.
Ms Hartland said the Premier must committo fixing the bridge in next month’s budget.
“Council are saying when they did the bikecount, 700 cyclists went over the bridge in atwo-hour period,” she said.
A state government spokeswoman would notcomment on what might be in the budget.
“The government is committed to encour-aging people to use bikes for transport andrecreation,” she said. “A number of optionshave been investigated, including a separatebridge for pedestrians and cyclists.”
Cycling’s causestrengthenedMARIBYRNONG Council will lobby VicRoadsfor improved cycling infrastructure following adramatic jump in cycling numbers.
The council’s annual bike count at 28 locationsfrom 7-9am on March 5 recorded a 36 per centspike in cyclists since the same time last year.
Men still outnumber women cyclists,77 per cent to 23 per cent.
Busiest location was the intersection of More-land and Napier streets, Footscray: up from 568 to692 riders, an average of one cyclist every 10seconds. Big jumps were at Footscray’s BuckleyStreet where it crosses Victoria Street (128 percent) and Summerhill Road (105 per cent).
Further west, the Cross Street off-road bike pathconnecting Tottenham to West Footscray recordeda 56 per cent increase. West Footscray’s Gordonand Essex streets recorded the highest percentageof women riders: 33 per cent.
Mayor Catherine Cumming said the data wouldhelp the council lobby VicRoads for improvedinfrastructure, safe, direct routes and linked paths.
Bicycle Network Victoria’s annual survey ofspending by local councils found Maribyrnongspent just 91 cents per resident, well below BNV’s$5 per head threshold and the $16.89 ‘inner zone’average. — Benjamin Millar

Autism test confirms linkBY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK
New diagnosis: Maree Kinniburgh with daughter Abbie. Picture: Darren Howe
A SEAHOLME woman diag-nosed with a rare brain disorderlinked to autism has now beendiagnosed with autism.
Abbie Kinniburgh, a 22-year-old student at Footscray’s Vic-toria University, is the only adultstatewide and one of six knownadults nationwide with a disorderof the corpus callosum (DCC).Abbie’s primary diagnosis ispartial agenesis (absence) of thecorpus callosum (ACC).
The corpus callosum is a struc-ture in the middle of the brainwhich transfers informationbetween the two hemispheres.Malformation may result inreduced ability to socially interactand problems with languagedevelopment, sleep, reading, writ-ing and memory.
Maree Kinniburgh says herdaughter’s neuropsychiatrist hasdiagnosed Abbie with autism aswell as DCC.
‘‘That physical link to autism
now is quite well established,’’ MsKinniburgh said. ‘‘They used tosay autism was behavioural andthere were no physical causes, butthat’s one of the physical causes; ifyou’ve got a corpus collosal dis-order it’s quite common to havean autism diagnosis as well.’’
Ms Kinniburgh said diagnosesof DCC were burgeoning due toadvances in MRI.
‘‘There’s about 80 on the booksat the Royal Children’s andthere’s another neurologist atMonash Medical Centre; I thinkhe’s got 37 on his books. Andthey’re finding it in utero as well.It’s probably all over the com-munity and people don’t knowthey have it.’’ As reported by theWeekly late last year, Ms Kin-niburgh had predicted that Abbie‘‘would probably come out on the[autism] spectrum if tested’’.
Ms Kinniburgh said that in theUS it was ‘‘fairly standard’’ forchildren with DCC to be alsodiagnosed with autism. They thenqualified for therapies and fund-
ing. ‘‘They know why they haveautism, whereas a lot of the kidswith autism don’t know why theyhave autism.’’ Australian Dis-orders of the Corpus Callosum
(AusDoCC) has started a Face-book group and website in thehope of finding and connectingmore people with DCC. Visitausdocc.org.au for information

Competitive instinctan aid to work safetyBY BENJAMIN MILLAR
ALMOST $40 million has been paid out totradies injured on the job in Maribyrnong andHobsons Bay over the past five years, new figuresreveal.
WorkSafe statistics released last week showmore than 17,000 injury claims from the con-struction industry were reported across the statein the past five years, costing almost $1 billion intreatment, wages and other expenses.
In Hobsons Bay, 465 claims worth$28.9 million were paid out from WorkCover,while Maribyrnong had 242 claims valued at$10.1 million.
Tradies and labourers made up four in fiveinjured workers.
Most of the construction site injuries werecaused by inadequate planning, poor site house-keeping and a lack of supervision, according toWorkSafe chief executive Denise Cosgrove.
Ms Cosgrove said more needed to be done tomake the construction industry safer forworkers. “Inspectors visit almost 40 construc-
tion sites across Victoria every day and, onaverage, they find almost 6500 health and safetybreaches every year. That’s just not acceptable,”she said. “The number of deaths, injuries andsafety breaches prove that everyone – builders,contractors and workers – must do more toensure workers get home to their families safelyevery night.”
Master Builders Association of Victoria exec-utive director Brian Welch said safety was animportant issue on any worksite.
“There is still scope for improvement when itcomes to safety in the building sector,” hesaid.
In a bid to stem the tide of injuries, WorkSafehas launched a Top Tradie Cup, designed to gettradies and others in the construction industrytalking about safety.
The six-week smartphone competition teststradies on their football and safety knowledge.
“The cup will help to create a culture of safetyon site and encourage workers to speak up whenthey see safety breaches,” Ms Cosgrove said.

Blind barista brews up happiness
Bravo barista: Aaron D’Altera serves up a coffee he feels good about. Picture: Michael Copp
YOU cannot say Aaron D’Altera lacksconfidence — an attitude that’s seen the AltonaNorth barista become a great coffee maker.
‘‘I bet I’m Victoria’s best blind one,’’ he says.‘‘If you have one of my coffees, you probablywon’t want anyone else’s.’’
An infection then a stroke left Mr D’Alterawith 10 per cent vision and a permanentlyclosed left hand. But he has followed the line ofwork he aspired to, making coffees by touch atYooralla’s UCAN Cafe at Altona North library.
Last Friday, he competed in Lavazza’s baristastate finals, taking on Brighton, Beaconsfield,Fitzroy North and Knox competitors.
Mr D’Altera said that, unlike his busiercompetitors, he was lucky to make five coffeesa day. But he said the UCAN job had changedhis life from feeling ‘‘lost and depressed.’’
‘‘I feel good, I feel really happy. I’ve got afeeling that I’ve got a purpose.’’
UCAN is open from 8.30am-4pm, Monday-Friday.

Aboriginal linksBY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK
How it all began: A plaque explains the woodcarving’s history.
OVER two months in 2001, John Merciecamade a carving in the wood window frame ofa Williamstown store symbolising Aboriginalreconciliation.
Now the building at 153 Nelson Place isfor sale, but Mr Mercieca will retain therights to the window frame if the shopfront isever altered.
A plaque recently placed on the carving
states that the sculpture, completed eightyears before then-prime minister KevinRudd gave his historic apology, was inspiredby local support for Aboriginalreconciliation.
Mr Mercieca, who has three indigenousfoster children, said his carving showedcreatures gravitating towards the sound of adidgeridoo and the ‘Wanjana’.
‘‘The Wanjana is one of the Aboriginalwords for a spiritual being or a god-likefigure,’’ he said.
‘‘It’s written into the contract [of sale] thatif it’s ever removed or the shopfront’s altered,it’s my property and it comes back to me,with the view of putting it somewhere else inthe shire of Hobsons Bay.’’
Building owner Steve Bilston said thecarving had an unusual start.
‘‘I had a little bit of rot in the corner of thewindow frame.
‘‘I said, ‘John, can you turn that little bit ofrot into a goanna?’.
‘‘So he put the goanna in and then he did alittle bit more and a little bit more and it justgrew.
‘‘He is very talented to get such a deeprelief out of shallow wood.’’

INSIDESTORY
America’s coast-to-coast race of pre-1930s motorcycles attracts many wanting an adventure in the style of Hells Angels founder Sonny Barger on Donald Trump’s budget.
The youngest Cannonball endurance run entrant, a Texan given a start as a 21st birthday present, rode ahead of his team, which was hauling a mobile garage and motorhome complete with a beer keg and wine.
Meanwhile, unemployed Newport metallurgist Chris “Cannonball” Knoop was hauling little more than his ass. Knoop was sitting in the hard leather saddle of his Australian-built 1925 Invincible JAP bike when
the engine died part way up a mountain in Idaho. He probably could have used one of the Texan’s coldies. “I hated Idaho; it was nothing but potatoes and hills and hot weather – sorry if you live there,” Knoop says. “It was about 110 degrees [Fahrenheit], which is about 45 degrees [Celsius]. I’d been on the bike for about seven or eight hours.” Inside his leathers, he was drenched in sweat. “I rode until I was dry – and kept going.
“I was against the clock trying to get to the fi nish to make the time and then we hit the hills and the Continental Great Divide.
“Coming up the hill, I lost power. I got to the fi nish and the fi rst thing somebody did [was
say], ‘And how’s your day been, today?’ and I’ve got a TV camera on me.
“I’ve just been on a bike for 10 hours, I’m dehydrated, I’m hot, my bike’s broken and I’m thinking, all I want to do is turn around and hit this bloke ... so, I asked him to come back in 10 minutes.”
Knoop began the 6430 kilometre ride – from New York to San Francisco in 16 days – with wife Christina Hemphill in a 1924 Goulding sidecar. Leather-lined with a wicker exterior, it had sat under a gum tree on a farm for 40 years. Hemphill, who believes her husband is passionate rather than crazy, says she is proud of him for recreating something uniquely

Chris Knoop and Christina Hemphill with the Invincible JAP
April 17, 2013 WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE [ 13 ]
Australian that brought pleasure to people across the world. “When we rode out of Newburgh Museum, which was the fi rst point we took off from Newburgh, New York state. When our bike came out, people just burst into applause.
“Not many people knew about the Invincible and when they found out it was an all-Australian bike, everybody was very interested. When Chris fi rst fi nished, he said, ‘No, I think next time I’ll just go on someone else’s team and help them, I’ll be a wrencher’, that means fi x the bikes.
“But he’s already talking about which [motorcycle] he’ll fi x up for the next ride.”
Hemphill admits they were totally exhausted when they returned to Australia after the race, held last September. “It was a very busy time, but still quite exhilarating. The people you met were fascinating.
‘‘You were sort of quite pleased it was done but quite sad it was over. I could see that we probably will do it again – it was too much of a good adventure.”
She says one of the most fascinating things was how people found different ways to enter the race. “There were people there who just bought bikes, hired mechanics for the two weeks, hired mechanical workshops, and they were determined to do it one way or another.
“And then there were people like Chris who built the bike.
“We stayed in motels. There were other people who slept out with their bikes, really did it hard.”
Four days after starting, the sidecar was removed because it was slowing them down. To reach their checkpoints, the bike had to maintain a speed of about 90km/h to cover 500 kilometres each day. Hemphill followed in a back-up navigator’s vehicle.
Knoop says race organiser Lonnie Isam jun started the Cannonball Run in 2010 to see if a bunch of mates could ride 100-year-old bikes across America. Bikes were to be ridden in the spirit of Erwin ‘Cannonball’ Baker, who set a record on his Indian motorcycle in 1914, crossing the US in 11 days. But now they say the run has two types of riders: people who are

mechanics and people who can afford one.Knoop and Hemphill, the only Australians,
lined up against 70-odd entrants from about 15 countries. Among them was US fi ghter pilot Josh Wilson, who bought his bike online fi ve weeks before the race after losing his job. He was fi red after revealing on 60 Minutes a fatal fl aw in the F-22 fi ghter jet’s oxygen system that was choking pilots and had maybe caused one fatal crash. The novice rider’s bike broke down almost immediately and then caught fi re, but he completed it with a perfect score.
Another entrant who attracted attention was world-renowned artist Scott Jacobs, star of the show Secret Millionaire. Knoop was travelling on a comparatively low budget. With the help of mates, he slowly rebuilt the bike he bought about 20 years ago in his backyard shed.
Fellow members of the Newport Fiddle and Folk Club gave him a big send-off at the local bowls club, with entry by donation. “My original aim was to make the start line and see what happens, and anything over that was a bonus,” Knoop says. “There were teams over there who had spent $300,000-$400,000 on their outfi ts and their vehicles and their machines, but they didn’t know the fi rst thing about even how to ride their bike or how to fi x it when it stopped by the roadside. “Some of
those people actually did a lot better than we did, but some of them didn’t.” One rider went over an embankment and was saved by a copse of trees from a 30-metre drop. Another got his ankle caught in his bike, while an American packed it in because he couldn’t hack it.
The young Texan, Buck Carson, didn’t have much luck with his temperamental bike named Elizabeth. But defi ant to the end, he plucked her off the back of a truck and, holding his state’s fl ag high, walked Elizabeth 2.7 kilometres across the Golden Gate Bridge to the fi nish line, with a police escort.
Knoop didn’t fi nish. But some ride to win while others ride for adventure in the land of the brave. A quote by former US president Theodore Roosevelt trumpets those who dare fail, over timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat: “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood ... ”
Back home in his driveway, sitting between his JAP and an Indian, Knoop mulls over Roosevelt’s words. “Very much so, very much so, yeah, very much so,” he says, nodding. “To be judged by your peers ... what you had over
there was the whole international community of people that are actively involved in this. And right from the start, when somebody was looking for something, I sent it over. I helped this person, I helped that one.
“I brought over all the spares I could possibly fi nd for this machine, which consisted of about a shoebox full of bits, and they went on everyone else’s bike but mine.
“The whole way across America, the support – I’ve never seen anything like it.
“We broke down in one person’s front yard in Iowa and we pulled in under the shade of a great big oak tree. And this guy’s on a rocking chair and he just sat there and we played with the bike.
“And next thing you know, out his wife comes with cups of tea and a couple of cakes on a plate and said, ‘Oh, we’ve got visitors’.
“This bike was built here, in the sheds, and I had a lot of club involvement and a lot of mates came round to help.
“For me, the people are what it’s about, you know. The bikes become secondary.” �
The Invincible JAP will be retired and displayed at Garage Classics of Williamstown.
Knoop’s fi lm about his Cannonball Run attempt, The Invincible Adventure, has been

Re. New impetus for bike trail plan(Weekly April 3)The Napthine government is excited toannounce an overpass to complete the nextstage of the Federation Trail. There’s only oneproblem: the bridge doesn’t complete it and,along with the current plan, makes a mess ofthe project.
Under the government plan for the trail wewill see major parts of the extension kept onroads throughout Spotswood, defeating thevery purpose of the trail — to provide asuperior and safer commute for cyclists in thewestern suburbs and separate cycle traffic frommajor roads.

road safety and the TAC
Wake up and enjoy the rideFinally! Now if we can just get MaribyrnongCouncil out of its bike-funding slumber andstop it relying so heavily on the state govern-ment to do their job, us westies can enjoy a bikenetwork like those on the other side of the river.

Re. Chooks need a place in thepecking order (Weekly, March 27)We have no chickens anywhere near our placebut still get rats and mice. Chickens are not thecause. I thought Maribyrnong Council wasahead of the pack with green policies, but withmost of us having small (and shrinking) yards,these regulations make it impossible for most ofus to reduce our food costs by keepingchickens.
Curly
It is silly — mice and rats were invading andinfesting my yard long before I kept chooks.I have kept chooks for 10 years and lived inMaribyrnong for 20 years. It seems odd thatthey would bring the law prohibiting chickenhouses within 15 metres of a dwelling in 2005— about the same time people started to bemore sustainable. None of this makes sense.
Chooky
Maribyrnong Council’s rules basically make itimpossible for any suburban dwelling to ownchickens. We’d all need to have small hobbyfarms to fit their requirements.
The council needs to open its eyes and earsand listen to what the people want . . . not justthe odd whiny neighbour scared of rats. I havethe occasional rats and there are no chickens insight. There’s a plague of rats in Melbourne, butI don’t suppose the council is interested in that.
Save the chooks
Great work, Angela Chiew (a Maidstoneresident who is seeking answers from thecouncil which has ordered her to remove herchickens). Hold your ground.
Shelley
Hope you get to keep your chooks. I have livedin many different suburbs around Melbourneand I must say the Maribyrnong Council reallyis the worst in terms of ridiculous, inflexiblerules and regulations.
It also has the most expensive dog registra-tion in all of Melbourne and, from myexperience, paying for vet bills for a dog thathas had its foot cut by broken glass, the leastwell-maintained parks.
Good luck!Footscray

Weeds not ace for tennis courtBY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK
No good: Donna Naismith at the Croft Reserve court with her children William, Jonathanand Emma. Picture: Mark Smith
AN Altona North mother is upset thatthe Hobsons Bay Council told her toplay tennis in more well-heeledsuburbs than near her own home.
Donna Naismith, who visits theCroft Reserve court with her threechildren, 5, 8 and 11, was told hersuburb’s only court is earmarked fordemolition.
However, the council denied to theWeekly that this was the case.
Ms Naismith said the state of thecourt was a disgrace and the councilhad not publicised its existence.
‘‘I’ve lived in Altona North for 20years and I didn’t [until recently] knowthere was a tennis court.
‘‘I was pretty disappointed with thesight of it. There’s no net. It’s prettyhard to play tennis with no net. Therewere weeds popping up through thecourt.’’
Ms Naismith said there was alsorubbish piling up under trees.
When she called the council tocomplain about the court’s poor
condition, Ms Naismith was told itwas going to be removed.
She said the council told her to play
tennis at Altona Meadows, Spots-wood or Williamstown.
‘‘If I want to play tennis with the
kids, I would rather ride the bikesdown than drive to Altona Meadowsor another suburb.
‘‘Do kids in Williamstown have togo to Altona North to play tennis? Theanswer is no.
‘‘We pay our rates, as does everyonein Hobsons Bay. Altona North is notas glamorous as some other suburbs,but residents still deserve the samefacilities.’’
The council’s works and assetsdirector Phillip McDonald said it wasinvestigating the possibility ofpreparing a master plan for CroftReserve.
‘‘If this proceeds, it will examine allaspects of this reserve including thetennis court,’’ he said.
‘‘At this stage there are no plans toremove, upgrade or replace the court.
‘‘If the council proceeds with amaster plan for the site, thecommunity and tenant sporting clubswill be consulted.
‘‘There are tennis courts for hire inAltona, Altona Meadows, Spotswoodand Seabrook.’’

Lots of noise for Harley’s 110th birthday
Birthday run: Harley-Davidson riders thunder through Williamstown streets. Picture: Luis Enrique Ascui/The Age
BY BENJAMIN MILLAR
AFTER spending 4300 kilometres andalmost 60 hours on his motorcycle, ChrisLawson was itching for just one thing —to hop straight back into the saddle.
The passionate member of the Perthchapter of the Harley-Davidson OwnersGroup (HOG) joined hundreds of Harleyriders for last Sunday’s ‘Thunder Run’through Williamstown for the marque’s110th Australian birthday.
The bike’s trademark thunderous roarreverberated throughout the suburb as asea of glinting chrome, black leather andwraparound sunglasses rolled pastcurious onlookers.
Harley City’s David Reide led the runon a 1914 powder blue Harley-Davidson,Australia’s oldest-known motorcycle.
For Mr Lawson, the six-day cross-country trip to reach the run wasn’t hisfirst epic road journey.
‘‘I rode up to Port Hedland for a beer;that was a pretty good trip,’’ he said.
Fellow Perth chapter member William‘Willy’ Wood, who rides a 97 Ultra and a94 Dyna Wide Glide, said the thrill of
riding a Harley was hard for outsiders tofathom.
‘‘My wife doesn’t understand it; theway people carry on about them. But youtalk to anybody and it’s a big buzz forthem. I’m hooked; hook, line and sinker.’’
Williamstown’s Bernadette Hoskingknows the feeling, 12 months afterbuying her Iron 883. ‘‘You get involved init. It really becomes a culture in itself;there’s a real camaraderie.’’
Michelle ‘Gypsy’ Hutchison, from theYarra Valley HOG chapter, was glowingafter her precious new Harley-Davidson‘Luscious’ won the people’s choiceaward.
‘‘I’ve never shown a bike before, but Iwill do it again,’’ she said.
The pair have already racked up12,000 kilometres in just three months,including a trip to Rockhampton.
Despite some residents complainingabout noise and inconvenience of thethree-day celebration, Williamstown’sWinnie Allwood, 85, thought the eventwas ‘‘absolutely fabulous’’. ‘‘I wish I hada motor on this walker, I’d have been outthere with them as well.’’

Credits run for filmmaker’s project
In the box seat: Cecilia Rossiter with a copy of her film that’s in the running for an award. Picture: Marco De Luca
BY BENJAMIN MILLAR
A SEDDON filmmaker’s first foray into filmfestival submissions has delivered instantrewards with nomination for an award at
the Madrid International Film Festival.Cecilia Rossiter’s short film Hide & Seek has
been nominated for the ‘best original screenplayfor a short film’ award at the festival being heldin July.
She created the film on a shoestring budgetwhile doing the Foundation Film and Televisioncourse at the Victorian College of the Arts,shooting across two days after four months ofpre-production.
Rossiter worked on every element of the film,from writing to direction and production.
She says Hide & Seek is the first short film shehas been truly proud of making and the first shehas submitted to a film festival.
“My initial reaction was disbelief. I thoughtthey must have mixed up the entries orsomething.
“When I wrote Hide & Seek, I was reachingwithin myself to tell my own story.
‘‘I invested a lot of emotion and time. There areelements of myself that can be found in each ofthe characters.”
Rossiter said the film explored child abuse andthe importance of family, revolving around afather and child struggling with the loss of a wifeand mother who hasn’t quite left them.
Drawing on a difficult childhood with herBurmese-born parents in Perth, the ultimatemessage is that forgiveness allows us to move onin our lives and start over.
“In the past, my writing would usually have acomical base and my ideas were derived fromoutside of me. Looking within, I have manystories to tell that are both sad and wonderful,”she said.
“I like exploring social issues and thechallenges people face in their life.
‘‘I think it comes across as a powerful film,especially with the music which I accessed fromMelbourne band Big Scary.”
Spurred by the nomination for an award,Rossiter intends to work on further short films asa springboard to possible feature-length films infuture.

Finding a gap in the market andchoosing to fill it is a logical reason toopen a business. It’s exactly what the
owners of The Rusty Fox, the new deli,food store and cafe in Kensington, havedone.
Chef Rebecca Creighton, Kim Scott andJennifer Galea all live in Kensington andwere tired of having to leave the suburb topick up their supplies of good cheese,quality charcuterie and artisan breads. Sothey decided to open their own shop andstock it with what they love.
The trio opened The Rusty Fox afterspending months renovating a formerlaptop shop.
They’ve created a modern space dressed
with recycled wood panelling and illustra-tions by artist Kaffeine reminiscent offairytale characters .
The shop has a long countertop withstools to sit at that allow you to watch thechefs while they cook dishes from asuccinct but smart menu that coverscomforting combinations of flavours aswell as smart salads.
The herbed omelette is a great exampleof finding and filling gaps in the area’s
cuisine. Kim Scott tells me no one elsenearby is doing a really good omelette, sothey put one on. It’s gently cooked, withchopped chives and folded over subtlysmoked salmon, asparagus and cos lettucehearts ($16). It’s balanced in flavours andbeautifully presented.
At the front of the room is a fridge filledwith dishes to take home, such as autumnvegies with saffron couscous, slow-braisedlamb, and produce such as Istra meatsfrom Daylesford and Holy Goat andMeredith cheeses.
Shelves filled with house-made jams andrelishes, as well as lentils and grains, dressthe room and there’s a charmingcourtyard out the back.
Five Senses coffee rounds out the exper-ience and the baking stands out, too. Sosave room for a gooey chocolate brownie.

You’re gunner be impressedLAST year’s launch of the new-look Gunners Bar & Bistro at
Altona RSL has proven a great success on all levels, says club manager David Hanson. The bistro has a fresh, modern feel — one that refl ects the young, enthusiastic staff and patrons who now fi t a more youthful demographic.‘‘We’re still very popular with our older guests, but younger people are discovering us more,’’ says Mr Hanson.‘‘The bistro seats about 70 people and everyone should be pretty impressed with the menu that’s been put together by our head chef, Chris Cox.‘‘Menu selections cover all the pub favourites, but Chris aims to bring his own twist with dishes that deliver something special in the fl avour department. ‘‘And we also tick the box when it comes to prices. We even got named in a recent review of clubs as having among the most affordable meals around.’’Headlining the menu is a slow-roasted lamb rump on a bed of mash, served with wilted baby spinach and a honey and rosemary sauce.
Or try the fi ve-spice pork spring rolls with plum dipping sauce as an entree, followed by chicken supreme fi lled with bacon, cheese and mushrooms served with garlic butter for main course.A $60 seafood platter for two can be enjoyed on Saturdays, or pre-order on other nights and turn a meal into a banquet.Sometimes pubs and clubs don’t give due heed to desserts, but not this club. Sweets lovers can indulge in warm apple pie, or homemade crepes drizzled with maple syrup and served with ice-cream.Every Friday night, the club gets its groove on with live music, but if it’s footy that brings you to your feet, there’s a big screen capturing all the action in the members’ bar, which is able to seat 100 cheering patrons.
Altona RSL, at 31 Sargood Street, Altona, opens 10am-late Monday-Saturday, and noon-10pm Sunday. Inquiries: 9398 2817
Altona RSL’s refurbished bistro serves up meals a cut above standard pub grub.

Coach’s orders: Randy Shanklin gets his point across to the Altona Gators.Picture: Shawn Smits
Fizz returns as Gatorsshake off their hangoverBY LANCE JENKINSON
ALTONA Gators coach RandyShanklin says his team is ‘‘starting toget it together’’ in the Big V men’sdivision 1.
The Gators endured a disrupted pre-season with a change of coach late inthe piece and it seemed to hang over tothe start of the regular season.
Doubts stemming from losses intheir first two regular season matcheshave been replaced with optimism asthe Gators have won their last threegames, including a tough double-header at the weekend.
‘‘The guys have been working reallyhard,’’ Shanklin told the Weekly.
‘‘I thought it would take a while forthem to understand the way I wantedthem to play.
‘‘There was a bit of a transitionphase we had to go through in the firsttwo or three weeks.
‘‘They’ve been doing really well,improving every week, so credit to allthe boys.’’
The Gators got the ball rolling onthe double-header with an 89-78 winover the Warrnambool Seahawks atAltona Sports Centre on Saturdaynight.
The 11-point margin somewhatflattered the visitors, who were 29points down early in the fourth period.
With the Gators stars rested, theSeahawks went to work, piling on 19points in the last five minutes to add
some respectability to the box score.‘‘When scoring comes that easy to youwhen you’re playing well earlier in thegame, sometimes you take the firstavailable option, instead of using theball a little bit more and just letting thegame run out with the big lead,’’Shanklin said.
‘‘We played quicker and gave theother team more possessions. It was adisappointing way to finish, but it waspretty much already done.’’
The Gators’ stat leaders were MilosTrkulja (18 points, seven reboundsand four assists), Shaun Phelan (18-6)and John Wilkinson (13 points andeight rebounds).
On Sunday, the Gators had to backup less than 24 hours later, and did itwith aplomb in an 82-74 road winover Camberwell Dragons.
The Gators were undersized minuscentre Craig Martin and were thra-shed in the rebounding, but they didn’tshy away from the physical battle andcame away with a memorable winwith Phelan (24 points and eightrebounds), Joey Mauser (19 points)and Wilkinson (15 points and three
steals) instrumental. Shanklin wasimpressed with how his playershandled the gruelling games on back-to-back days.
‘‘It’s one of the toughest things to doand we have quite a few of those thisyear,’’ he said.
‘‘You never know from night tonight how physical the game is goingto be or how much running you’regoing to have to do, and then there’sthe travel.
‘‘There’s a lot of things to take intoconsideration.
‘‘The whole weekend for us wasdefinitely tough.’’
Speaking of tough weekends, as faras away trips, it doesn’t get muchtougher for the Gators this Saturday.
They will face the Mildura Heat atthe intimidating Mildura BasketballStadium on Saturday night.
Shanklin says, however, his side’shandling of the pro-Heat crowd coulddetermine if they stand a chanceagainst the last remaining unbeatenteam in the Terrill pool.
‘‘I’m actually looking forward to thechallenge and I think we have a goodshot,’’ he said.
‘‘It’s just a very tough place to playlike more country places.
‘‘They hardly ever lose at home; theyget big crowds and the support is alittle different in the country than it isin the metro areas.
‘‘As long as we’re not daunted bythe crowd, we should be okay.’’
CYs’ hopes snuffed out as day turns to nightBY LANCE JENKINSON
WILLIAMSTOWN CYMS has suffered a heart-breaking two-point defeat to Old Mentonians incoach Mathew Montebello’s first game in charge ofthe Victorian Amateur Football Association division1 club.
In a game that will be remembered for an extra-ordinarily long final quarter, which included anhour-long stoppage while an ambulance was calledto attend to a dislocated knee of Panthers co-captainGareth Snow, the CYs coughed up a 24-point three-quarter time lead to return from Mentone Grammarempty handed.
CYs were leading at the time of the injury withfour and a half minutes remaining but could notkeep their composure in the dying minutes as playresumed as day turned to night.
‘‘We allowed them to be a little bit too loose andthey ended up kicking a goal with about 20 seconds
left,’’ Montebello said. ‘‘The ball ended up flickingover the back and the guy has ended up running intoan open goal.’’
Montebello was devastated: ‘‘It doesn’t matter ifit’s round one or round 15, I don’t like losing’’.
This was clearly one that got away after CYs werein a position of power.
The first-game coach identified plenty of areas ofimprovement, not least being able to adapt to play-ing on a bigger ground. Their home ground, FearonReserve, is one of the smallest in the competition.
‘‘The boys got stuck into a little bit of Fearon-mode, which is smaller and congested,’’ Montebellosaid.
‘‘There’s things at Fearon that you can get awaywith doing, where on the big ground you can’t.
‘‘If you get sucked to the footy too much, it endsup being more space for the ball to spill out to.
‘‘At Fearon, you are able to make up that groundbecause everyone is closed in a lot more, but it’s
something we’re going to have to adjust to becausemost of the grounds we’re playing on will be biggerthan ours.’’
The standout for CYs was defender CodyMcCracken, who took on the Panthers’ No.1forward and won the duel.
Nic Holdsworth, the league under-19 best andfairest from last season and Darcy Weston, the hard-running defender, were also prominent in the back-line, while Nick Walsh and Cameron Oates were thebest forwards.
There was also shattering news for Will Cooper,who dislocated his shoulder in his first game backafter a long-term knee injury.
CYs will host Bulleen-Templestowe in their firsthome game of the season at Fearon Reserve onSaturday.

Keeper wrests win from Phoenix

BY LANCE JENKINSON
ALTONA East Phoenix is still findingits feet in the Football Federation Vic-toria men’s state league 2 north-west.
The Phoenix have slumped to con-secutive 2-0 defeats in a shaky start tothe season.
Phoenix president Jim Dimitrioutold the Weekly the results were thesame from the first game to the next,but it was a vastly improved perform-ance in the second round againstSydenham Park at Paisley ParkReserve on Saturday.
‘‘We played a lot better than theweek before, so that was promising,’’he said. ‘‘We’ve got a lot of new guys inthe squad this year and had a fewinjuries, so it will take time.
‘‘It’s a long season and as long aswe’re seeing improvement week byweek, we’re happy with that.’’
The Phoenix came out with all gunsblazing in the first 20 minutes.
The more they peppered the goals,the better the saves by Sydenham’sformer A-League goalkeeper TommyTomich.
Tomich, who has played with PerthGlory and also in the VictorianPremier League, showed his class todeny the home side time and again,and quieten the crowd.
‘‘I felt we created enough chances tobe two or three-nil up, but we didn’tput them away,’’ Dimitriou said.
‘‘He’s an experienced keeper, a bigboy and I thought he kept them in thegame in the first 20 or so minutes.’’
The game was an arm wrestle untilSydenham struck late in the first half.
Then the visitors took over, turningtheir one-goal half-time advantageinto a 2-0 win from the penalty spot in
a dominant second half. The Phoenixhave another tough encounter away toWestgate in the third round underlights on Friday.
Meanwhile, they welcomed backdefender Gerald Henrisson after12 months out with a broken foot.
Henrisson missed all of last seasonwith nerve damage in his foot.
He impressed for the reserves onSaturday and a return to the seniorscould be imminent.
‘‘I thought he was one of the betterplayers in the reserves team, so hope-fully in the next few weeks he can get
into the seniors,’’ Dimitriou said.Meanwhile, in a significant result on
Monday night, the Altona Magicreturned from the Veneto Club withthree points in tow after a 3-1 victoryover FC Bulleen Lions in the men’sstate league 1.
The Magic, who have six pointsfrom a possible six heading into theirthird-round clash with Fawkner Blueson Sunday, came back from a goaldown after half an hour to win on theback of a double to Johnny Stojcevskiand one to Oleksiy Khrapko.

Seagulls show how to tear a game apartBY DANIEL PAPROTH
AT the 13-minute mark of the third quarter atWilliamstown in the Victorian Football League onSaturday, Coburg trailed by just six points.
When the final siren sounded, the Seagulls hadwon by 100 points.
An incredible 10-goal burst in the third term sawWilliamstown open up a 62-point lead by three-quarter time, then the Seagulls followed that up withanother eight goals in the last quarter.
Bulldogs-listed Jake Stringer, recruited from theBendigo Pioneers after playing three games withWilliamstown last season, tore the game apart withfour goals in five minutes. He kicked five for thegame and was ably supported by Charlie Nastasiwith four and fellow Bulldog Patrick Veszpremi.
The first half couldn’t have been more different.Just nine goals were kicked by both teams, withWilliamstown leading by 14 points at quarter-timeand extending the lead to 17 at the main break.
The Tigers brought themselves into the contestwith a few early goals in the third quarter before theSeagulls broke the game open.
Coach Peter German said the playing group hadflicked a switch. “They got within a goal and all of asudden the players realised the desperation of it alland we started using the ball more effectively.
“Stringer’s goals were a pivotal moment and theyreally capped off some good defence work andaround the stoppages and in the midfield.
‘‘The players realised the situation and it was greatwe were able to bring it together in the second half.”
The Seagulls host traditional cross-town rivals
Werribee this Sunday at Burbank Oval and Germansays the anticipation has already begun.
“Westy [Werribee coach Scott West] has alreadytexted me,” he laughed. “We’re very good friends,with a lot of respect for each other, but having saidthat there is a fair bit of rivalry between thesupporters and the clubs.
“It’s early in the year, but it’s probably going to beone of the games of the year.”

Falconscall shotsBY LANCE JENKINSON
IT was the big question lurking overthe City West Falcons’ title defence inthe Victorian Netball League.
How would they fare withoutexperienced premiership-winningbookends, goal-shooter Kath Knottand goalkeeper Peta Fay?
Maybe the answer’s in the Falcons’54-25 drubbing of Geelong Cougars atthe State Netball and Hockey Centreon Wednesday night.
New bookends, Julia Knott in theattacking circle and Emily Mannix indefence, had a major impact.
Front to back, the Falcons looked assettled as they have been since thenew-look team took shape.
‘‘We’re kind of getting the team ontrack,’’ Falcons coach Marg Lind said.
‘‘We’re starting to establish somegood combinations and we’ve got alittle bit of camaraderie going in thatgroup now.’’
The Falcons’ defence was at itsmiserly best, conceding just 25 goals,even with the Cougars having accessto top goaler Erin Hoare from theMelbourne Vixens.
The Cougars were shut down by awater-tight Falcons’ defensive strategyand Hoare was limited to 17 shots(8-of-17) by a dogged Mannix.
At the other end, Knott replaced hersister in the goal-shooter’s bib at thestart of the season.
The Falcons tried to make it a like-for-like swap in the opening month,but it didn’t work because they’re twounique individuals.
Kath is your physical stay-at-hometarget, while Julia has the athleticismto work further up the court.
The problem is that Julia’s playingstyle is similar to goal attack MaggieLind’s.
Coach Lind abandoned the plan topigeonhole Knott in the circle, givingher the freedom to roam and share theshooting load.
Knott shot the lights out, landing 28of 31 shots for a 91 per cent accuracy.
The fans will be asking for more ofthe same when the Falcons (4-1) faceBallarat Pride at the SNHC tonight at7pm.
Meanwhile, VU-Western Lightningremain in top form after two wins in aweek.
They triumphed in a defence-dominated bout, 39-32, over theBoroondara Genesis on Wednesday,before backing up to edge theSouthern Saints 49-45 at Sunbury onSaturday.

Jolt, thenEagles flyBY LANCE JENKINSON
YARRAVILLE-SEDDON has over-came a sluggish start to finish with adaydream 102-point win over NorthFootscray on its Western Region Foot-ball League division 1 return.
The Eagles got a taste of what lifecould be like in the top flight whenthey coughed up five of the openingsix goals of the game to trail by21 points at quarter-time.
But the new boys then showed theywill be no pushover, dominating fromthe second quarter onwards with 23 ofthe last 27 goals, including a breath-taking 11-goal-to-one second term.
Eagles coach David Connell experi-enced the gamut of emotions fromfrustration to relief, but it was ulti-mately a day he and the supporterswill never forget.
‘‘I’m probably a little more relievedto be honest,’’ he said. ‘‘It was pleasingfrom the fact we were six goals downand still got that result.’’
There was concern etched on Con-nell’s face for the opening 30 minutes.
The Eagles were a contrast to every-thing they promised in the lead-up.
‘‘We were pretty ordinary,’’ Connellsaid. ‘‘We were disappointed with oureffort more than anything.
‘‘Our tackles were down, our pres-sure was down and our physicalitywas down. They were getting way toomuch loose footy and we were secondto the ball.’’
The whole mood changed from themoment the Eagles left the quarter-time huddle.
They improved around the stop-pages, lifted their work rate and uppedthe ante defensively.
Young ruckman Ben Stretton beganto get his hands on the ball, feeding therunning brigade led by Shane Barry,Jackson Bell, Shannon Downey, AdamBaker. Backmen Travis Gluschenkoand Jason Compton were nigh onimpossible to pass.
Then there was the spread ofgoalkickers: 13 in all.
The game-changer was Nick Avery,the winger turned tagger for the day.
‘‘He was really unselfish and playeda team game for us,’’ Connell said.
‘‘One of their guys was chopping usup in the first quarter and he went andtagged him for the rest of the gameand basically shut him out.
‘‘As soon as he shut him out, westarted to get on top.’’
The Eagles have little time to cele-brate with a visit to premiership con-tender Deer Park in the second round.

Vikings blow away the cobwebsBY LANCE JENKINSON
WHILE some things changed during summer, othersstayed the same for last year’s Western Region Foot-ball League division 1 grand finalists.
Reigning premiers Altona Vikings and runner-upSpotswood took to the field in round one with vastlydifferent line-ups to those that graced ChirnsidePark last September.
But the battle remained the same, once againproviding a classic finish.
The final result, a three-point win to the Vikings inthe grand final rematch at Grant Reserve on Sat-urday, was not too dissimilar to last year’s season-decider in that it was the Vikings who celebratedvictory by less than a kick, while the Woodsmen goaway to stew on a sloppy start and woeful inaccur-acy in front of goal.
Vikings captain Josh Russo told the Weekly it wasa season opener that had a finals-like intensity, butone that was missing that September silk as the sidesblew out the cobwebs of a long off-season.
‘‘It was a high-intensity, real pressurised game,’’ hesaid. ‘‘There was never going to be an easy kick outthere. It’s what you think of two good sides having areal crack.
‘‘But, with the skills of both sides, it was evidentthat it was only round one and we haven’t beengoing around for 10 weeks.
‘‘We’ve got plenty to work on, but I guess you’renot going to start the season in grand final-winningform, are you?’’
The Vikings did manage to produce somechampagne football in the opening term.
The Anthony Eames-coached champions bangedon eight goals to one in a mesmerising first term.
Jayden Post, who returned to the club after a stintwith Richmond in the AFL, showed how valuable hecould be with four goals and a dominant first-halfdisplay.
‘‘He started well and was a fair reason why wewere up and about early,’’ Russo said. ‘‘He kicked acouple and it was good for everyone’s confidence.’’
You just knew Spotswood was not going to lie
down. They never do. Chris O’Keefe’s team chippedaway, bit by bit and finished within a kick.
Tom Langlands, the inspirational captain, was thecornerstone to the revival, while new faces JustinDorwood, Murray Boyd and Sam Myors wereprominent.
‘‘You never think a quality side is going to give upafter one quarter,’’ Russo said. ‘‘It was always goingto be a battle over four quarters.’’
The Vikings held on by the skin of their teeth. JoeyHalloran and Nathan Leslie were pillars of thedefence.
