The popularity ofBlack Caviar’s recentnight appearance atMoonee Valley hasprompted theMoonee ValleyRacing Club to put anight Cox Platemeeting on theagenda.

Dark horses to grace Cox Plate?BY EUGENE BENSON

A NIGHT Cox Plate at Moonee Valleyracecourse is firmly back on theagenda thanks to the success of therecent night-time running of theGroup 1 William Reid Stakes whichfeatured Australian racing’s biggeststar, Black Caviar.

Black Caviar’s 24th straight victoryon March 22 was watched on courseby more than 25,000 people andtickets were strictly pre-purchase,ordered online.

Moonee Valley Racing Club chief

executive Michael Browell said plansfor a night Cox Plate had been put onthe shelf until the club’s master planfor redevelopment was approved —but the success of the William ReidStakes was impossible to ignore.

Browell said the race could only berun at night if other racing venuesaround Australia supported the eventand also held night meetings so thatwagering revenue wouldn’t beimpacted.

‘‘We think there is an opportunity tolook at it for 2014 or 2015. Prelimin-ary thoughts are that the feature race

would be the last on the card at 9.30or 9.45pm, but a lot of work from awagering perspective has to be donefor that to work. Several other venueswould have to support the night-timeslot.’’

Browell said a decision should bemade within the next three months onwhether the 2014 Cox Plate would beheld at night. ‘‘It creates a massivepoint of difference [during the springracing season]. A lot of sports havemade a shift to hosting major events atnight, like the Australian Open finalsand the Twenty20 cricket. There is

something special about a night event.There’s still a lot of research to be doneand we will be looking at this fromevery possible angle.’’

Ascot Vale resident and Cox Platewinning trainer Mark Kavanagh saidhe was sceptical about the plan.

‘‘If you raced Black Caviar at 2amyou’d still get a crowd.

‘‘Night racing has its place, butthere’s nothing wrong with how it’srun now.

‘‘Australia traditionally has itsGroup One races on Saturday after-noons.’’

Ahh, the sweettaste of nostalgia

SARAH HARRISQUE SERA

There are certain sounds, smells and tastesthat have the power to catapult us intothe past.

Travelling in a car, lulled by the motion andwarmth of the sun through the window, I canfilter out any sound except that which approx-imates to someone eating a biscuit.

Crrr-unch and suddenly I’m Miss Five orSix, dozing in the back of the family Holdenwith the dog serving as a furry demarcationline between me and big brother.

The home-made Anzac biscuits are beingquietly passed around the car in an ice-creamcontainer and then, there’s that sound.

Head-spinning Linda Blair may have stolenthe scene in The Exorcist, but I was theoriginal Regan when it came to cookies.

Food memories punctuate our whole lives.A waft of spice evokes cold nights by the fire

with a hunk of sugary, buttery, cinnamontoast.

White pepper tickles up an image of mygrandfather carefully carving a tomato ontotoast for his breakfast – a ritual made all themore fascinating by several absent fingersblasted off in World War I.

A squeeze of lime delivers a freshly shuckedoyster topped with tomato and coriander anda romantic weekend in Tasmania.

Then there are those culinary recollectionsbest disgorged at the feet of a psychotherapist– think cold, grey beans and strawberry-flavoured school milk left too long in the sun.

But chiefly that awful ’70s concoctionknown as Sunshine Salad, which featuredcucumber or green capsicum, grated carrotand tinned pineapple suspended in lemon jelly.

They say we are what we eat, but prettyplease, not that!

Cornish ‘misused her position’BY EUGENE BENSON ‘There was a clear failure of governance

practice at Moonee Valley Council formany years.’ — Shirley Cornish

MOONEE Valley councillor Shirley Cornish hasbeen found guilty of authorising a pay rise toformer council chief executive Rasiah Dev duringher time as mayor in 2010.

Cr Cornish was found guilty of breachingsection 76D of the Local Government Act 1989,misusing her position to obtain an advantage forMr Dev.

At the Broadmeadows Magistrates Court lastWednesday, magistrate John O’Callaghanordered Cr Cornish to pay $8000 in legal costs,but she received no conviction and escaped anyadditional fine.

Despite a 12-month good behaviour bond, CrCornish can continue as a councillor for MooneeValley’s Rosehill ward.

The court found that as a consequence of hermisuse of position, Mr Dev gained an advantageof more than $13,600. The charge against CrCornish was brought by the Local GovernmentInvestigations and Compliance Inspectorate,which in 2012 also successfully prosecuted 2009

mayor Paul Giuliano for a similar breach of theact.

Pivotal to the inspectorate’s case was a docu-ment showing the authorisation of payment toMr Dev, which Cr Cornish had signed.

Cr Cornish pleaded guilty to the charge.Speaking to The Weekly after the hearing,

Cr Cornish said her guilty plea was based on herhealth and the effect the charge was having onher family. ‘‘There was a clear failure of gov-ernance practice at Moonee Valley Council formany years,’’ she said. ‘‘The Local GovernmentInspectorate is to be complimented for its impacton the governance process and procedures atMoonee Valley Council. I personally believe theculture of the past has been broken, due to thestrong leadership of our CEO [Neville Smith]coupled with the inspectorate’s investigation.’’

Cr Cornish said she hoped the case could now

be put behind her and she could move on tobusiness. ‘‘I’m pleased to be able to get on withlife and look forward to representing the peoplewho have put their faith in me to the best of myability.’’

When Cr Giuliano was found guilty in Decem-ber it was found Mr Dev gained an advantage of$15,750 per year for a period of two years and‘back pay’ to the value of $7115.92 — a totalgain of $38,615.92.

The Weekly understands Moonee ValleyCouncil is seeking to recoup through the Depart-ment of Planning and Community Developmentall money paid to Mr Dev via Cr Giuliano andher misuse of her position.

Mr Dev is now chief executive at DarebinCouncil, which is under its own investigation bythe Ombudsman.

A statement released by the Local GovernmentInvestigations and Compliance Inspectorate afterthe hearing said: ‘‘Matters involving Mr Dev arecurrently with Victoria Police’’. But when contac-ted by the Weekly last week Victoria Policedenied this was the case.

PTV denies short-changing passengersBY EUGENE BENSON

PUBLIC Transport Victoria has hit back at claims by theGreens’ state leader, Greg Barber, that Craigieburn linecommuters have been short-changed.

In last week’s Weekly, Mr Barber said he suspectedPTV would reduce the percentage of trains using theCity Loop until the Craigieburn line ‘‘was cut outcompletely from the loop’’.

The claim came after Mr Barber expressed disappoint-ment that only three morning peak trains on the lineused the City Loop after a revived timetable was releasedby PTV in November.

PTV director of communications Matt Phelan saidnumerous errors about the Craigieburn train servicesusing the city loop were reported.

‘‘Last November, five extra peak services were addedto the Craigieburn line, with three morning peak trainsrunning direct to Flinders Street.

‘‘The same number of peak services continue to runthe loop throughout the day. There will be no change toCraigieburn line services in April, with all existing peak-hour loop services continuing to run via the City Loop.

‘‘Further, there is no intention to remove all Craigie-burn line services from the City Loop as claimed in yourarticle [by Mr Barber], although as more services areadded in future timetable changes, new services will rundirect to Flinders Street.’’

A full letter to the editor from public TransportVictoria is on page 7.

Elsewhere, Western Metropolitan Greens MP ColleenHartland has started a campaign to visit all 43 trainstation in her electorate in 60 days, and she’s taking acardboard cutout of Premier Dennis Napthine with her.

Ms Hartland said she invited the Premier to see first-hand why investing in public transport should be his toppriority.

‘‘I’m taking a cardboard cutout because he’s notcoming,’’ Ms Hartland said.

‘‘As someone who regularly uses public transport inthe west, I can tell you that both Coalition electionpromises to ‘fix public transport’ and ‘not neglect thewest’ are fast turning into lies.

“I conducted a budget survey of over 400 western sub-urb residents that showed that fixing public transportwas the number one priority for many people in thewest.

‘‘It should be the Premier’s top priority, too.”

OPINION

The Weekly asked communters at Essendon railway station what they thought of the service on theCraigieburn line and whether they liked to travel through the City Loop or go direct to Flinders Street.

Pas Bartalotta, East Keilor: ‘‘I need to go through the City Loop, so I like thetrains going through there.’’

Tanya Nova, Ascot Vale: ‘‘You get packed in like a bunch of sardines [on thisline]. If you have to get off at Melbourne Central or Parliament and the traingoes straight through to Flinders Street it adds another 30 minutes to yourtrip.’’

Matthew Mangan, Essendon: ‘‘Normally, I go to Melbourne Central so I changeat Southern Cross. But if I have to go to the other side of town I like skippingthe loop as it’s faster.’’

Jonathon Alcock, East Keilor: ‘‘I prefer to go through the City Loop; it’s betterfor commuters.’’

Brickbats for our no-show councillor

No show: Andrea Surace (left) has had a less auspicious start to her term than fellowcouncillors Cam Nation and Nicole Marshall.

NEWLY elected councillorAndrea Surace has made a lessthan auspicious start to her

recycled local government career.Cr Surace, who represents Rosehill

ward, was 90 minutes late for theDecember and January council meet-ings. Her frustrated council colleagueslast month dumped her from theimportant tenders committee. We’retold it was for non-attendance atmeetings. Only one committee meet-ing has been held since October. Thereare just three councillors on thiscommittee and the March meeting wascalled off for lack of a quorum — itswork is said to be months behind.

Officially, Cr Surace “resigned”from the committee before the councilmeeting on March 26 and wasreplaced by Cr Cam Nation.

As a former Keilor mayor, Cr Suraceshould be well aware of the workloadand responsibilities of being a council-lor. She promised honesty and integ-rity in her electioneering. Refreshingvirtues, but you need to be around toput them into practice and ensure that

the views of East Keilor and AvondaleHeights residents, who elected her, arerepresented at the council table.

Master plan in a minor keyWe have heard very little of the re-development of Windy Hill since thesigning of a master plan almost 12months ago.

The Essendon Football Club and thecouncil agreed to work together on thevenue, given the club has now shifted itsbase to Tullamarine. It has said WindyHill will remain the Bombers’ spiritualhome.

Implementation of the master plan,with its long-term vision for a sportingclub and community base, should nowbe a priority and ought to be driven by

the council. The Bombers have plentyon their plate now the footy season is infull swing and given their commitmentto resolve the drugs issue. Settling intotheir new home is also a tough call giventhe development is months away fromcompletion. That’s why the council

needs to be pro-active to start movingon the master plan; it shouldn’t wait forthe football club. We want to see greaterpublic access to the facility, as promised.

Not so ‘world-class’Six weeks after the successful Moonee

Valley Festival, the mound oppositeSt Monica’s Church in Mt AlexanderRoad is still being used to advertise theevent.

Not the first time, Lore has had toremind council to remove the advert-ising. The mound may as well bereplaced by grass. It has served no usefulpurpose since council removed thebeautiful flower bed laid a decade ago, avictim of the water shortage crisis. Out-dated advertising only brings criticism,especially when the advertisement onthe western side tells us that MooneeValley is “world-class, locally”. Thecouncil needs professional help in howto better promote “world-class,locally”.

Its impact on the local communityhas been abysmal, due to a lack ofpromotion.

It doesn’t help that council letterheadsstill carry the former slogan.

The final word . . .Think positively. The chip on ourshoulder gives the monkey on our backsomething to play with.

Re: ‘Out of the loop, and nothappy’, Moonee Valley Weekly,April 2Metro Trains and Public Transport Victoriaoften deserve criticism, but not for the time-table starting on April 28. Craigieburn Linecommuters have put up with several time-table revamps in the past couple of years.The April 28 one is no worse than the others.

Evening services to Craigieburn, Mondayto Friday, will still travel through the loop.Most will start at Flinders Street instead ofSouthern Cross. It was, is and will remainusually quicker for Southern Cross passen-gers to catch a Burnley Loop train to Flag-staff and meet the Craigieburn train there.

Evening commuters inbound fromCraigieburn and headed for loop stationsnow wait several minutes at Flinders Street.That timing will continue, but they may needto board another train replacing one beingremoved from service, without extending theseveral minutes wait at Flinders Street. Thenew timetable just formalises that.

Greg Barber of the Greens, Damien Ashand Minister Terry Mulder should focus onthe real capacity constraints on the Craigie-

burn line: lack of full grade-separation andthe need for signalling upgrades, both ofwhich restrict train frequency, reliability andconvenience far more than the April 28 time-table does.

Andrew Gunter, Essendon West

Your article ‘Out of the loop, and not happy’contained errors about Craigieburn trainservices using the city loop. In November2012, five extra peak services were added tothe Craigieburn line, with three morningpeak trains running direct to Flinders Street.The same number of peak services continueto run the loop throughout the day.

Contrary to information printed in theWeekly, there will be no change to Craigie-burn line services in April, with all existingpeak hour loop services continuing to run viathe City Loop. Further, there is no intentionto remove all Craigieburn line services fromthe city loop, as claimed in your article,although as more services are added in futuretimetable changes, new services will rundirect to to Flinders Street.

RATHER than abandoning your garden after thesummer veggie harvest, Moonee Valley residentscan now learn about winter crops at the nextseries of My Smart Garden workshops.

A session at the thriving Strathmore HeightsCommunity Garden on Saturday proved a hugesuccess, with two more events planned.

Participants were guided through preparingveggie beds and choosing the right crops for acooler time of year — key themes of the winterworkshops.

A session on how to design an abundant foodgarden and get hands-on tips to help considersun, shade, water and micro-climates will be heldnext month in East Keilor.

A demonstration on how to build self-watering garden beds will take place at theBowes Avenue Community Centre in June.

The My Smart Garden Program is run byMoonee Valley Council with help from theCommunity Garden Network.

Co-ordinator of the Strathmore Heights Com-

munity Garden, June Williams said residentinterest in shared garden spaces had taken off.

‘‘We have 32 beds here and 30 are filledalready. Many people have grown a lot over sum-mer and it’s all kinds of people getting involved:families, singles, older people, everyone.’’

‘‘There is a renewed interest in growing yourown and I think that comes from the price offood, people being surprised at what they cangrow. And there’s definitely a social aspect — Ithink you’ll see more community gardens springup.’’

The next My Smart Garden events are:■ Design your edible gardenSunday, May 5, 10am-12.30pm, MillearaChildren’s Centre, 1-5 Keilor Park Drive, EastKeilor (corner of Milleara Road)and■ ‘Permablitz’ to build wicking garden bedsThursday, 6 June, 10am-4pm, BowesAvenue Community Centre, 27-31 BowesAvenue, Airport WestFor more information, phone 9932 1142.

Winter is coming: The MFB wants residents to

ensure they’ll have their heating systems

checked and have working smoke detectors.Picture: Scott McNaughton

BY EUGENE BENSON

FIREFIGHTERS are urging residents tocheck their heating systems and smokealarms after new figures revealed the MFBwas called to 92 house fires in Moonee Valleylast year.

MFB Commander John Rampling saidmost fires were sparked by clothes being lefttoo close to heaters and non-working smokealarms. While there were no fatalities, thecost of damage from the fires was around$1.5 million.

In the neighbouring city of Maribyrnong,the MFB attended 68 house fires whichcaused $2.7 million in damage.

In Brimbank, there were 129 house firesresulting in a $5.7 million damage bill.

Statewide, 48 per cent of fires started inkitchens and 9 per cent in bedrooms.

Commander Rampling said as temperat-ures dropped and the use of heatersincreased, so too did the risk of house fires.

‘‘It’s just the time when we have to remindresidents that if they haven’t changed theirsmoke alarm batteries when they changed

their clocks [back] at the end of daylightsavings, they have to change them now,’’ hesaid.

According to a Duracell Fire Safety Surveyof Australia posted on the MFB’s website, 38per cent of Victorian households have onlyone smoke alarm installed and only 54 percent replaced smoke alarm batteries every12 months, as recommended. Only 31 percent of Victorian households know how totest a smoke alarm properly (by pressing thebutton until the siren sounds). The survey al-so found that almost half of all rented prop-erties had only one smoke alarm installed.

Clubbing togetherBY EUGENE BENSON

SAINT Bernard’s Old Collegians FootballClub has marked its 50th anniversary withthe release its own book capturing milestoneevents in the club’s relatively short butincredibly successful history.

Titled Forever Strong, the book includesaccounts from former players, coaches andcommitteemen right back to the club’s form-ative years up to the present day.

After joining the Victorian Amateur Foot-ball League’s E division in 1963, St Bernard’sbecame a powerhouse in no time.

The club won premierships in its first twoyears, then made the grand final in 1968,taking it from E to B grade in just five years.

Since then the club hasn’t dropped below Bgrade and in 2013 it’s in the premier division.

Each chapter presents a story or anecdoteabout a pivotal time in the club’s past.

The workhorse behind the book’s produc-tion was former player and captain MatthewMulkearns, who said he had seen histories ofother footy clubs but wanted to make StBernard’s book ‘‘more professional’’.

‘‘I liked the idea of different people tellingtheir stories about their time at the club,

people who have been involved throughoutthose 50 years,’’ Mulkearns said.

‘‘There’s plenty of old photos and a greatone of the first captain, coach and vice-captain on the oval when it just looked like apaddock. That sort of stuff is fantastic.’’

Mulkearns said Andrew Nathan, the sonof one of the club’s founders, Peter Nathan,had written a particularly interesting chapterabout how the club was established afterSt Bernard’s College senior team won theschoolboys’ premiership in 1961.

Other anecdotes include an account of aplayer whose post-game recovery resulted ina three-hour operation to find an errant acu-puncture needle lost in his buttock. As well asstories from former coaches Frank Dunelland Shane Zantuck, the book includes achapter on when the club fought in theSupreme Court to avoid relegation.

Forever Strong is $49.95 (plus $15 post-age and handling). Contact Eleanor Cur-rie at [email protected];phone 0411802827; or visit the websitestbernardsfc.com.au. Alternatively, it’son sale at Collins Book store, MooneePonds, or your newsagent.

INSIDESTORY

Specialist sports schools in Melbourne’s west are helping aspiring athletes chase their dreams. Robert Fedele reports

Gronya Somerville doesn’t go to school in the mornings. Not on time, at least.

Instead, the 17-year-old trains with the Australian badminton squad, honing her skills in the hope of reaching the sport’s top echelon.

She took up the niche sport after being spotted through a national talent identifi cation program when just 12.

These days, badminton is everything.‘‘After playing it the fi rst few times I really loved the movement

and speed compared to tennis. It’s a lot faster and involves more tactics. There’s a lot more decisions to make.’’

For Somerville, one of the biggest decisions was leaving her friends at Northcote High School in year 9 to enrol at Maribyrnong College, at the time a fl edgling specialist sports school.

‘‘It was a tough choice but ultimately what I wanted to be was an elite badminton player. This is the best path to getting to that, being with like-minded athletes.’’

One of those is softball star Gabby Mifsud, 15, who relocated from Caroline Springs College a year ago.

By her own admission, Mifsud is confi dent in her own ability and likes a yap.

In the school’s state-of-the-art gymnasium her trusty bat is never far from her side while waiting to be photographed. She fi nds a way to alleviate the boredom when spotting a piece of discarded rubber foam on the fl oor, tossing it high, swinging, and smashing it to pieces.

‘‘Gabos’’, as she is known to her friends, has just been selected in the Australian under-17s squad.

‘‘When I got selected I was really excited because I didn’t think I would. I’m not top-age yet. Seeing my name there means I’ve got to put a lot of hard work in. You get to play sport on a daily basis which sounds like a dream,’’ she says of the routine.

‘‘But it’s really very hard. You have a lot of fi tness and a lot of homework to keep up with as well so you’ve got to balance it. But it’s honestly one of the best things I’ve ever done with my life.’’

On a typical Wednesday afternoon, the electric hub of activity at the school is intriguing to an outsider.

It’s a far cry from 2005, when Maribyrnong College was reeling from dwindling enrolments and on the brink of closure.

sportingA chance

Gronya Somerville is a member of the Australian badminton and National Youth Olympic teams.


At its lowest, the school had 200 students and an intake of just 13 year 7 students.

Its revival began from talks with Victoria University, the Western Bulldogs, the City of Maribyrnong and the Victorian government.

Rather than letting the school endure a slow and inevitable demise, the government stepped in, pledging millions of dollars in infrastructure and ongoing funding, re-inventing it as a specialist sports school.

It’s now at capacity with 1200 students, with about 40 per cent of the enrolment making up the Sports Academy.

‘‘There’s really nothing like this that’s purpose-built in Australia outside of the institute of sport. To have it in a government school, in the west of Melbourne, is astonishing,’’ says the school’s sports program development director Rob Carroll.

‘‘This is PE heaven to some extent.’’Carroll had had experience in setting up two similar sports-

geared schools but never one to this scale.The school has state-of-the-art hockey and soccer pitches,

an athletics track, beach volleyball courts, badminton courts, basketball and netball courts, and even a gym area with ice baths for recovery.

But credibility is an entirely different commodity.‘‘We were selling the sizzle without the steak,’’ Carroll says.

‘‘There was lots of promise, things on paper. But could it actually work? No one really knew.’’

The school developed its own model after looking at sports schools across Europe and taking on board their best features.

Most sports schools push their students to compete for the school, but Maribyrnong College went the other way.

‘‘We have a training environment where the students train here and access all the sports science services, but they don’t very often compete for the school. We try to complement the existing state and national pathways and, rather, they compete for their club.’’

Ascot Vale resident Libby Birch, a star netballer, was attracted to the facilities when looking for a high school.

‘‘I’ve actually grown up with this in my blood,’’ she says. ‘‘They’ve grown me into an aspiring athlete.’’

Birch came to the school as a dual sports athlete, talented in hockey and netball, but a year ago she made the decision to focus on the latter.

She plays for City West Falcons under-19s in the Victorian Netball League. She was selected in the state under-17 team as co-captain and has made the national under-15s outfi t.

The school, she says, has allowed her the fl exibility to follow her dream. ‘‘It’s an amazing opportunity for me to keep going as a student and netballer.’’

Birch’s dream is to make the senior Australian netball team.The thought of not making it does cross her mind. ‘‘You

always have that sort of doubt, but I think you just gotta keep stepping over the barriers.’’

Carroll concedes not everyone will get there.He points to the school’s encouragement of career paths other

than sport.‘‘We’ll support those dreams to the end and have between 20

and 30 national-level team members and about 90 students who are in Victorian teams.

‘‘There’s certainly this high-performance element, but there’s also this notion that you can have a career in sport by assisting other high performers. You don’t always have to be one yourself.’’

He adds: ‘‘And that’s the reality for a lot of kids. When you’re 12 and 13 you have big dreams. You all want to play for Australia. Can you actually all achieve that goal? Probably not.’’

At Essendon Keilor College, a breeding ground for prospective AFL footballers, it’s a similar story.

Teacher Mark McInerney, who runs the year 9 and 10 arm of the school’s elite football program, says getting drafted is the goal but not the be all and end all.

‘‘Yes, we want to develop good footballers. But we [also] want to develop good people and good men,’’ he says.

‘‘With the pool that kids are going up against, every year is getting bigger and bigger. The draft pool is massive. We go through that and they understand that. To set a target — like we want to get three kids drafted — is unrealistic.’’

The school’s football program was launched in 1999 and has since helped about 30

players make it into AFL ranks.Ezra Bray was the fi rst, taken by Geelong in that inaugural

year. Other notable recruits include Adelaide Crows star Brent Reilly, who was picked up in 2001; Brock McLean in 2003; and Lynden Dunn in 2004.

The football program runs from year 9 to 12 and is part of VCE studies as a Vocational Education and Training (VET) subject. More than 100 students are signed up across all year levels.

It kicks off with skills sessions and improving fi tness and diet, then ramps up to focus on training methods and improving the ‘key performance indicators’ tested at AFL draft camps.

The school is closely linked with local TAC Cup teams Calder Cannons and Western Jets.

‘‘They [students] get an understanding of what’s expected of them and what they’re up against,’’ McInerney says. ‘‘If we can get as many kids involved in the Cannons and Jets rep sides then for us it’s having a benefi t and they’re improving.’’

Young gun Athol Jetta, brother of Essendon star Leroy, came to the school on the advice of a friend and started the football program this year.

The 15-year-old plays for local club Keilor and has made junior squads at the Jets.

He grew up in a small town called Pingelly, 158 kilometres south-east of Perth, with a population of 800.

Jetta remembers playing for the Pingelly Panthers in his childhood but only ever for fun.

The family had moved to Perth by the time his brother Leroy, a speedy forward, was drafted by the Bombers at pick 18 in the 2006 AFL draft.

The household went into rapture when the phone call came through. The entire family moved to Melbourne with Leroy and has stayed together.

Athol, shyer than most teenagers his age, isn’t exactly sure when the football bug bit him but now says making the AFL is his dream.

‘‘I want to do it. I don’t want to do anything else.” �

ShowBiz Performing Arts Studios prin-cipal Genie Malcolm said the dancers had alot more ‘spunk’ in store for audiences thisyear.

‘‘Sassy, strong moves, a lot more facialexpressions and I think the kids have reallystepped it up,’’ she said.

Ms Malcom has two groups performing atStepOff!, the under 12 juniors, who recentlyhad an audition for Channel 7’s Australia’sGot Talent, and the under 17 varsity group.

Moonee Valley mayor Narelle Sharpe saidthe event was a key part of the council’sNational Youth Week celebrations.

‘‘Step Off! provides an invaluable platformfor young performers to showcase theirtalent and it’s great to see it grow each year.’’

Last year’s Step Off! attracted 1600attendees who watched about 400 dancersperform.

The event is on Saturday April 13 at theDallas Brooks Centre, East Melbourne, from6pm.

Step Off! is anticipated to be a sell-outevent. Tickets are available from theClocktower Centre box office 9243 9191or online at clocktowercentre.com.au

Songs on the road

High notes: Ben Owens with his musical

accomplishment is proving naysayers wrong.Picture: Benjamin Millar

BY BENJAMIN MILLAR

When Footscray tenor Ben Owens wastold he had “no musical ability”as a teenager, he decided to pay no

attention.He grew up in Oxford, England, where

there was a strong tradition of singing inchapels, and he found he couldn’t shake themusical bug.

Owens took up the flute, piano andrecorder, but is now making his mark as achoral singer with the internationallyacclaimed Australian Chamber Choir. He willjoin the choir on a national tour that begins inCastlemaine this week before launching into aEuropean tour.

The travelling concert features a range ofworks written in England between 1550 and1935, including Vaughan Williams’ ValiantFor Truth, which director Douglas Lawrencedescribes as one of the “finest masses of the20th century”.

Owens said he was looking forward tohitting the road and taking the concert tocountry Victoria and NSW as well as the statecapitals.

“I like both ends of the musical canon,everything from music from the Renaissanceup to Bach and the baroque, through tocontemporary works,” the 34-year-old says.

“In Footscray recently we performed one ofthe earliest pieces of music for more than onevoice, from the 11th century, but in the sameconcert we sang minimalist work from the late20th century.”

While readying for the national and interna-tional tour, Owens is being kept more than alittle busy as the acting director of music atChrist Church in South Yarra, on top of hiswork as a fraud detector for banks. Not rely-ing solely on music for a career meant he couldchoose projects that were important to him.

“It’s amazing how much choral music ishappening in Melbourne. There seems to besomething happening all the time.”

The choir’s three-part concert series, ValiantFor Truth, starts in Castlemaine and Geelongthis weekend before reaching Middle Park onSunday, April 14. Other works include piecesby Thomas Tallis, William Byrd and OrlandoGibbons.

Wokin’ the suburbs

Cosy: Despite its tiny room, Andy’s Yum Cha offers a wide selection of Chinese favourites including dim simsand dumplings. Picture: Scott McNaughton

ANDY’S YUM CHAAddress: 13 Napier Street, Essendon

Contact: 9370 9888

Hours: Wednesday-Sunday, Noon-9pm; Tuesday,

5pm-9pm

BYO beer & wine ($2 per person)

It’s still odd walking into a tiny Chineserestaurant. So often, you open the doors to agood local Chinese to be greeted by a huge

room, bustling waiters and the constant hum ofcustomers chatting, and the clang of wokscooking.

Andy’s Yum Cha is the antithesis to this; 30seats, a small room with pictures of its foodofferings on the wall and a few cliched paintings.

The staff can say hello to you from behind thecounter on the other side of the room, it’s tiny.Due to its size they charge a minimum of $20 peradult on Friday and Saturday nights, which is areasonable request, and it’s good to note they arenot licensed but are BYO beer and wine only atthe very reasonable price of $2 per person.

Hear the words yum cha and you may

instantly think of trolleys of steam baskets andplates piled high with dumplings and treats. Ofcourse, size doesn’t allow this at Andy’s. Butopen the menu and you have a sound selectionthat’s delivered to your table directly from thekitchen. Fried prawn dumplings (4 for $6.50) arecrunchy parcels of tasty prawn meat and bambooshoots, and there are spring rolls (3 for $5.50)which are uninspired but seem to please theyounger diners at the table. Fleshy Siu Mai,which are fried dumplings filled with prawn andpork (3 pieces for $5.50) are delicious.

The menu contains 58 items and there areplenty more dumplings and other dishes, thatmay be steamed. Mussels in XO sauce ($5.50)are delicately handled, the Chinese Sausage buns(2 for $5.50) are fluffy and light, while also beingmeaty and sweet. Bigger dishes fall into the realmof noodles. The Singapore Noodles ($13) are

very popular as are the soups, including the hotand sour, which is balanced and punchy.

The spicy salt-fried calamari arrives as ajumble of calamari pieces, dusted in chilli andextra salt, and while it’s tender in texture, a beer

balances out the almost overpowering saltiness.Andy’s is a reliable happy place and this is clear

in the way the small room fills up quickly on aSaturday night and follows the adage, goodthings come in small packages.

Shining star of Indian classicsThe 2010 winner and a fi nalist in 2011

and 2012 in the Restaurant and Catering Association of Victoria awards, Indian Star Restaurant in Moonee Ponds continues to shine in the local dining scene.Owner and head chef Sunil Tyagi says one of his consistently popular dishes got him over the line with the judges.‘‘Our balti chicken malai dish has won many fans at Indian Star so it was great to have it play a role in our win. It’s a special dish from northern India of pieces of chicken cooked until meltingly tender in a tomato and capsicum sauce.’’Helped in the kitchen by chefs Shalabh Tyagi and Manoj Kumar who have fi ve-star restaurant experience in India, Sunil draws heavily from cuisine traditions in India’s north but also salutes other regional classics.The restaurant decor itself displays a unique blend of different cultures, with wooden carvings of Hindu gods and Rajisthani tapestries connecting guests to Indian roots. It doesn’t shy from its wonderful sub-continental essence and, with tables dressed in crisp white napery, also delivers a refi ned dining experience.

Samosa chat is one of the entrees to kick off a delicious spicy fl ow. It’s a potato-fi lled fried pastry with a hint of chilli and coriander, drizzled with a cumin-infused yoghurt and tamarind chutney. Served on a sizzling platter, the reshmi kebab, falling-apart tender chicken breast marinated in yoghurt and cream is another fi ne starter.All curries are gluten-free and two favourites are the lamb kadai, cooked with a special blend of herbs, spices and masala; and the fi ery beef vindaloo with a hint of coconut.Chicken, lamb and fi sh dishes from the tandoori oven are also tried and true winners.And all meals deserve a fi ne fi nish and gulab jamun does not disappoint; served warm or cold, these small dumplings of sweetness hit the spot.

Indian Star Restaurant, at 254 Maribyrnong Road, Moonee Ponds, opens 5-11pm daily or for group lunches by appointment.Inquiries: 9375 1113 or indianstar.com.au

Oh so close as Jetspunish CannonsBY TEO PELLIZZERI

WESTERN Jets held their nerve to beat theCalder Cannons by two points in an entertainingTAC Cup showdown at Highgate Reserve onSunday.

A high-quality game was ultimately decided bycostly mistakes in the Calder backline as the Jetspunished indecisiveness to open the match-winning break early in the final quarter.

Calder challenged in the dying stages but fell toa third straight loss to start the season, losing14.9 (93) to the Jets 14.11.95.

The Jets trailed by three points at the finalchange but took the lead via James Sicily threeand a half minutes in.

On 11 minutes, a telegraphed back-pass in theCalder defensive 50m by Jake Lever was inter-cepted by the Jets’ Mitchell Norton, who goaledfrom close range. With his tail up, Norton thenran into the 50m kicked a banana goal after aCalder kick to a contest on half back spilt into hispath.

Down by 13, Calder closed the gap whenJason Cooke kicked his fourth goal of the day.The Jets missed a golden chance to seal the gamea minute later when Omar Abou-Zeid missedfrom 20m on the run, and Calder’s MatthewMerlo set up a grandstand finish when hisattempt on goal tumbled through to make thescore 92-95.

A desperate smother from Billy Myers deniedone attempt from Calder to own the corridor andgo into attack in time-on. In the 26th minute,Aaron Christensen broke free to send a high shotto the goalsquare. But no Cannon could mark,with a pack forming and Duom Dawam comingup with a free kick for holding the ball.

The siren sounded with the Jets trying to takethe ball out of their defensive 50m and Calderpressed up, desperately seeking the go-aheadscore.

In the first quarter, Calder got the jump withMatt Goodyear’s goal and a Charlie Van Der Bylset shot as the Jets went goalless through the first10 minutes.

A chain of uncontested Jets marks ended with

Daniel Burton putting his team on the board.Jason Cooke booted two goals in three

minutes with a 55m roost from Harrison King inbetween for a Jets response. Cooke’s double gotCalder to quarter-time with an 18-point lead.

The advantage did not last long for Calderthough, with Duom Dawam’s ruck-work spark-ing control of the centre square leading a briskJets comeback.

When Mitchell Norton goaled just before thenine-minute mark, the Jets had the lead.

But Calder worked their way back to the front,with Walker from 40m, Van Der Byl after a bigpack mark and Riley O’Brien on the stroke ofhalf-time goaling to send the Cannons to the longbreak with a 10-point advantage.

Calder turned for home three points up whenNathan Blair backed his pace to escape hisopponent and goal from 48m, with a shepherdfrom Van Der Byl on the line crucial.

It’s a new season, so Mores let their boots do the talkingBY TEO PELLIZZERI

STRATHMORE coach Digby Morrell might justbe done talking about last year’s EssendonDistrict Football League grand final.

The Mores took the earliest possible oppor-tunity to move on by winning a tight tussle withKeilor in the premier division Good Friday clashto open the season.

The Mores were inaccurate early in the lastquarter in trying to overturn a four-point deficit

at the final change, but straightened up to win17.14 (116) to 15.13 (103).

Morrell led Strathmore to its 2011 premier-ship but fell two points short last season as theMores went unbeaten for the entire campaignonly for Greenvale to win the decider.

‘‘I don’t have to motivate this group at all,’’Morrell said. ‘‘The guys involved last year have aburning desire to turn this around and the newguys have come in and added something differentto the group.

‘‘It took a little while to get over I guess, andobviously you’ve got to move on and start pre-paring for the next year.

‘‘It was a disappointing result but we did take alot of positives out of last year. We put ourselvesin a position to win, and we learnt a lot.

‘‘We had a bit of a chat about it and picked outwhat needed to be worked on, and spent a lot oftime working on those things over summer. Itwill hold us in good stead for this year.’’

Strathmore continues its campaign against

Maribyrnong Park this Saturday in round oneproper. The Good Friday match was moved fromround five.

Bustling Bombers out-muscle Bendigo

ESSENDON exploded out of theblocks to win its VFL opener by aconvincing 90 points against BendigoGold at the Queen Elizabeth Oval inBendigo on Friday night.

Jason Winderlich pressed his casefor a return to the Bombers’ seniors bybooting eight goals to set Essendon oncourse for a 23.9 (147) to 8.9 (57) win.

An Essendon outfit full of estab-lished AFL players dominated thematch, led by Leroy Jetta through themidfield, Alex Browne, ElliottKavanagh and key forward ScottGumbleton.

Joe Daniher also overcame someinaccurate kicking early to show hisaerial prowess and boot five goals.

Winderlich’s first three came in justsix minutes at the start of the match toset up a comfortable barrier on thescoreboard for the rest of the game.

Winderlich’s fourth and CoreyDell’Olio sent Essendon to the quarterbreak up by 37 points, and whenDaniher goaled just 45 seconds intothe next it looked like the Gold, withjust a point to their name, were indanger of a three-figure hiding.

But Bendigo stopped the flow ofgoals by lifting its intensity, though itwas let down by skill errors and drop-ped marks against a taller and morephysically imposing Essendon outfit.

Bombers coach Hayden Skipworthcould see the slowdown coming atquarter time, telling his team too manyplayers were chasing goals.

Nathan Beck kicked the Gold’s firstmajor in the ninth minute of thesecond term, but a Harrison Huntleymiss from 15m out let Essendon offthe hook and denied Gold any score-board reward for its fighting spell.

A class goal on the run from BenDeuscher, 45m out on the boundarywas followed by an Elliott Kavanaghset-shot goal straight from the centrebounce after a 50m penalty.

Winderlich popped up with his fifthgoal two minutes later to make themargin 53 points, before Bendigoagain lifted its defensive pressure.

However Essendon’s superioritywas obvious as harder running off theball allowed Nick O’Brien to stroll in-to an open goal late in the term.

There was no Bendigo resistanceafter half-time though, as Essendonneeded just seconds to goal and hadfour in the first nine minutes of thequarter.

When Jetta teed up Winderlich forhis eighth, the Bombers pushed themargin beyond 100 points with a 10thconsecutive goal for the quarter.

The final term was not a repeat ofthe scoring avalanche. Fatigue and set-ting dew contributing to a low-scoringfinish to the night. Bendigo kickedgoals late in the quarter to avoid a100-point defeat.

The Bombers make their bow atWindy Hill at 2pm Saturday againstthe Box Hill Hawks.

Ten-goal term impresses coachBY TEO PELLIZZERI

ESSENDON may have dominated onthe scoreboard but the goals coming infits and starts meant coach HaydenSkipworth still had something to workon.

The coach used his quarter-timeaddress to warn his players that theywere in danger of playing selfish foot-ball. But he was far more pleased afterthe 10-goal third term from his team.

Skipworth put the last-quarter stale-mate down to a mental switch-off withthe margin bouncing between triplefigures and the 90s as goals wereexchanged.

‘‘We wanted to keep a high standardfor four quarters but it wavered a littlebit,’’ he said. ‘‘To come away with a90-point win . . . I would have takenthat before the game for sure.

‘‘We were pretty happy with every-one, everyone played their role. Wehad a lot of contributors.

‘‘Bendigo has a young side that’sdeveloping . . . we’ve got Box Hill nextweek and I see Luke Hodge and BrianLake are available so we’re heading in-to a big week of training to get readyfor a tough game.’’

Jason Winderlich sat out the lastquarter after hitting his running limitof 8km. He was untroubled by a dislo-cated finger suffered, and treated, be-tween his seventh and eighth goals.

‘‘I’ve been slowly building up overthe last three weeks of training; half agame last week, three quarters tonightand hopefully a full game next week.

‘‘It’s such a long year, I was neverexpecting to play all 22 games andfinals if we get there. After coming offa knee reconstruction two years ago

and about six hamstring strains ortears last year I just wanted to build in-to the year. I want to be playing AFL atthe end of the year rather than jam-ming [games] in now and breakingdown later in the season.

‘‘I’ve had so much football takenaway by injury, same with Gumby[Scott Gumbleton]. You do love hav-ing a run around and having a win.Looking at Bendigo realistically,they’re a young team starting over.

‘‘I’ve got limits on how much I’mallowed to run. I’ll try to manage it outinto four quarters next week acrosshalf forward.

‘‘There’s a lot of unpredictabilitycoming back into seniors as the sub.

‘‘If I could wait until the last halfand then come on it’d be perfect but itdoesn’t work like that, so I’m happy toget the match practice in the VFL.’’

INBRIEF

Leroy JettaDominated the centre square with

pace and aggression. Used his

strength to fend off tackles, though

he’s unlikely to be facing opponents

this size at AFL level.

Jason WinderlichWas ready at the feet of Daniher and

Gumbleton when the ball went in long

and was clever and evasive enough to

take his own uncontested marks

close to goal. Won most of his shots

on goal from the corridor.

Joe DaniherHad the crowd riding his every

contest and delivered many times

with strong overhead marks. Kicked

goals in the final quarter to end up

with a bag for the night.

Nathan Lovett-MurrayProvided drive out of the back half,

although without a huge level of

forward pressure to deal with.

Scott GumbletonOffered a contest in the air and took

pack marks, particularly in the early

stages of the game.

Elliott KavanaghHad mid-20s possessions in the first

three quarters as one of the more

prolific ball-winners behind Jetta.

In the thick of it: Mark Blicavs (far right) watches teammate Taylor Hunt wrap up Hawthorn’s Luke Breust ina tackle Picture: Sebastian Costanzo The Age

Miler lasts the distanceBY TEO PELLIZZERI

THE final siren and customary sports drinkshower for first-time winners is something MarkBlicavs will never forget.

The Geelong Cats ruckman reached a signific-ant point in his journey from elite athlete to AFLfootballer at the MCG on Easter Monday as histeam won 13.15 (93) to Hawthorn 12.14 (86).

A year earlier Blicavs, 22, was competing inthe mile at the Stawell Gift, still hoping to get tothe London Olympic Games in steeplechase.

On Easter Monday, he was battling Hawthornveteran David Hale and man mountain MaxBailey in the ruck.

While making his debut was a special moment,the winning feeling will be unforgettable.

‘‘When the final siren went, [Joel Selwood] hada quick talk to us, then we sang the song. Ithought, ‘that’s what it’s all about’, and I said to afew of the boys, if this is what AFL footy is then Icould get used to it. It’s bloody good.

‘‘It’s been surreal looking back on it now. Iwoke up and watched a bit of How I Met YourMother, arrived a couple of hours before thegame and took the normal warm-up. I was feel-ing pretty good but looking out into the stands,seeing that crowd, that’s when I started to feel thenerves and a few butterflies.’’

Blicavs collected nine possessions and twotackles, while he and fellow Cats ruckman TrentWest only narrowly lost the hit-out count 28-32

to Hale and Bailey. Geelong trailed by as many as30 points in the second quarter before sixunanswered goals either side of half-time turnedthe game.

‘‘We started slow but the team did what itneeded to in the second half and to be a part of itwas amazing.

‘‘It was a shock, the intensity threw me a bit. . . all the players just wanting that ball. After thefirst 10 minutes I got into it and got going.

‘‘When we had that momentum it tends tomake you work a bit harder. I’ve found I can rungames out a bit better and can continually com-pete at 100 per cent. But I didn’t at the start of thegame, and I don’t want to start slow.’’

Geelong’s ruck stocks will come back to healthas the season progresses and put pressure onBlicavs to keep his spot. The Athletics Essendonrunner was a project recruit who had not playedorganised football since his early teens at Sun-bury when plucked in the 2011 rookie draft.

‘‘It’s happened really fast. A year ago I wasracing in the Stawell mile and now I’ve had myfirst AFL game. I’ll probably go home and havedinner, think about the game. I’m hungry to keepgoing. I need to keep improving and that’s goingto come from hard training.

‘‘I need to get that trust from my teammatesthat I can do a job. That I belong and I’m not justfilling in. I’m just starting in the AFL and I’velearnt hardly anything about the game comparedto where I need to be.’’

Heights take higherdivision in their strideBY TEO PELLIZZERI

AVONDALE Heights made a steady start to itsFFV state league 2 north-west campaign by beat-ing Altona East Phoenix 2-0 on Saturday.

The Heights scored two goals in five second-half minutes to settle the match at Doyle Reserve.

The state league 3 north-west champions wereon the back foot for the first 15 minutes of thecontest but largely dictated the match aftersurviving Altona East’s best phase of the game.

Burakhan Koca had the Heights’ best chanceof the opening exchanges when his left-foot shotwent over the bar after a quick counter-attack.

The only other meaningful chance came in the23rd minute when David D’Anna’s shot on theturn was deflected out for a corner.

There was a slight rise in tempo in the first10 minutes of the second half with MartinHanna flagged offside a number of times aftertrying to exploit space down the left flank.

The attacking intent paid off in the 59thminute though, when a Heights corner wasfumbled by the Altona East keeper and turned inby striker Martin Collins.

Stunned by the goal, Altona East failed totrack Koca’s run into the penalty area in the 64thminute, allowing him time and space to pick hisspot after a cut-back from the right byline byBosin Gorcevski.

With the game now being played on AvondaleHeights’ terms, D’Anna somehow managed tovolley over from close range after beating thedefence to a cross from the right by AnthonyStrano.

Strano was then needed at the other end toclear a header off the goal-line with 12 minutesremaining after Heights ’keeper Anthony Sariccame out of his area to try and contest a high ballbut was beaten to it by an Altona East attacker.

However the scare was only a one-off asAltona East chased the game, with the bestchance late coming for substitute Colin Habgoodwho had his shot from the top of the area turned

away by a diving save. ‘‘The boys respondedreally well to the next step,’’ Avondale Heightscoach Anthony Barbieri said.

‘‘Obviously it’s a higher division and higherleague and every game is going to be a challengefor us.

‘‘We’ve lost a few players from last season,some have retired or moved on, and we’vebought in some other boys who have played atthis level previously and at the moment they seemto be integrating well.

‘‘We’ve got a good collective group out there,some youngsters among experienced heads. Weexpected the first 15 minutes to be hectic but wewithstood that. We’re a ball-playing side andkept it on the deck to try and create.

‘‘All credit to the lads, they were resolute anddid exactly what was required.’’
