stench builds over pay row COUNCIL DISPUTE

Mountains of rubbish spilling onto Footscray streets have residents and shopkeepers pleading for a rapid resolution of the dispute between Maribyrnong council and sta� .

� ree weeks a� er the protected industrial action of selective work bans began, the Footscray CBD has been described as “� ird World” due to the smell of decaying rubbish and litter crowding the streets, including Barkly Street (pictured) .

Resident Rebecca, who asked that her surname not be published, said the issue was out of hand.

“It’s now a health issue. I also think this is something that needs to be much better explained . Residents deserve more information from the council,” she said.

“It is just such a shame; Footscray doesn’t deserve it.”

Social media has been � ooded with complaints and comments about the deteriorating state of the streets.

� e Australian Services Union (ASU) is seeking a pay increase for workers of about

4 per cent, which, it argues, would be in step with other councils.

Council chief executive Vince Haining said workers had been o� ered a 3.2 per cent wage increase worth about $40 a week.

ASU organiser Melissa Wainwright said Mr Haining met the ASU branch secretary on Monday with a new o� er aimed at breaking the deadlock.

“We will put that to the delegates and we will then take it to our members across the area this week,” she said.

“Until then it will be the status quo, unfortunately. It pains our members to see the streets like this, too – it is their job, it is their livelihood, it proves what a good job they do normally.”

Ms Wainwright said that of the 40 negotiations the ASU had undertaken with local governments across Victoria this year, Maribyrnong was the only council where members had launched industrial action.

She said the workers remained on full pay as they were continuing to carry out work in areas not subject to bans. \

Williamstown MP accuses recycling firm of grant hypocrisyBROOKLYN

A Brimbank recycling company has been accused of hypocrisy for accepting a $500,000 government grant.

Speaking in State Parliament last week, Williamstown Labor MP Wade Noonan asked why Action Recovery and Recycling was happy to receive the grant to divert waste from going into land� ll yet was unwilling to contribute to a Brimbank council scheme to seal Bunting Road, Brooklyn.

As reported by the Weekly, eight landowners facing a $1.8 million bill to tackle high levels of dust in the Brooklyn industrial precinct are taking the council to the

Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal over the scheme.

Property owners have been asked to cough up between $654 and $364,360 each.

� e owner of the Bunting Road land from which Action operates faces a

bill of $328,437.“Some in my community ask why

known polluters should receive the bene� t of taxpayer funds to support and grow their businesses, when

those same polluters are hampering long-overdue pollution abatement

works, such as the sealing of Bunting and Jones roads,” Mr Noonan said.

“� is is an a� ront to our community and the environment, which for years has been exposed to excessive levels of pollution

from the Brooklyn industrial precinct.” But Sunshine Group general manager Christian Buxton , speaking on behalf of Action, said Mr Noonan’s claims were “wildly inaccurate”. “� is has nothing to do with Action. � ey do not own the land,” he said.

“� e majority of landowners in Bunting Road are not objecting to the road but to the individual amounts being levied and a number of unresolved issues with the design, which council has not been able to satisfactorily resolve.

“It’s common practice for owners to appeal to VCAT.”

An Environment Protection Authority spokesman said 29 pollution abatement notices had been issued in Brooklyn since the start of this month, with another

owners face $1.8m

bill for clean-up

nine expected before the end of the year . Brimbank council infrastructure and environment manager Paul Younis said a VCAT hearing was expected to be held in the � rst quarter of next year. \

towering blast for planning minister footscray

Maribyrnong councillors have launched a scathing broadside on state government Planning Minister Matthew Guy over his handling of development in Footscray.

� e council last week voted unanimously to reject a $280 million multi-tower development on the former Le Mans Toyota site in Footscray. But Mr Guy, who has ultimate control over the site, could approve a 795-dwelling, 24-storey Places Victoria plan without community or council input.

Mayor Catherine Cumming said the proposal join ed neighbouring developments of up to 32 storeys approved by the minister in overshadowing a primary school, the Maribyrnong River and public space.

“We don’t have any appeal rights; nobody can complain here,” she said.

� e council has recommended a 14-storey limit for the precinct.

Cr Sarah Carter said the council was fed up with being mistreated a� er trying to work with the minister for two years.

“� is is a real slap in the face – he is basically taking the piss out of council,” she said.

Cr Michael Clarke said the council ha d been frozen out of the process yet face d a $70 million infrastructure shortfall in a precinct slated to have more than 3000 new dwellings. “What we have here is a minister who is prepared to ride roughshod over this council,” he said. “� is proposal is nothing less than an embarrassment. � is submission

fails to meet so many basic requirements of a building application. What a joke.”

Cr Martin Zakharov said overshadowing was being allowed over the Maribyrnong River that would never be accepted over the Yarra River.

“We have had no consultation whatsoever,” he said. “It’s an embarrassment.”

A Places Victoria spokeswoman said the site remain ed on the market and discussions on the proposed masterplan were continuing with the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure.

“It is anticipated that a decision on the proposed masterplan will be provided in the coming months,” she said.

Mr Guy’s o� ce did not respond. \BENJAMIN MILLAR

A community garden that’s sowing the seeds of multicultural harmony in Williamstown will be open to the public next month.

Floyd’s Patch, at the base of the public housing tower in Hanmer Street, helps older people overcome social isolation, says resident gardener Denis Kerr.

As chairman of the Floyd Lodge gardening committee, he has seen friendships blossom since the garden started in 2009. “It’s very good for interaction between the residents,” Mr Kerr said in his Irish lilt. “It’s got most of them together and they help each other.

“We get a lot of information from the Europeans and the Asians – they grow hot stu� . And then you get the Greeks and they love to grow garlic and stu� like that.’’

� e garden started as part of the Well for Life program to promote healthy eating and exercise for people over 55.

Floyd’s Patch, at 63 Hanmer Street, is open from noon-2pm on November 10. � ere will be a barbecue lunch and vegetables for sale. \

where to park?commuters angry

seaholme

A commuter says she is disgusted a� er being booked for angle parking at Seaholme railway station, which recently underwent a controversial design change.

In April, the Weekly reported commuters’ fears that insu� cient parking at Seaholme would lead to people deserting the station. � e council had installed bollards north of the station that prevented people from angle parking. It then introduced parallel parking.

� e furore, which exploded on Facebook last week, came on the same night the council vowed to prioritise parking provision in Williamstown.

Last week’s council meeting heard that it was awaiting plans from Coles for a decked car park behind the supermarket and Williamstown Town Hall.

Jodi Swinn posted on Facebook that she was “absolutely disgusted” to � nd a parking ticket on her – and every other – car at Seaholme station.

“It seems someone has decided to penalise those who have no choice but to park angle [sic] rather than parallel due to the cars already there, and the fact that the trees are in the way.

“Way to discourage people from using Altona Loop to begin with – should I go back to driving to Newport because they actually have parking? People will drive to Newport, which will lead to less patronage on Altona Loop, which will not encourage Metro to increase services.”

Commuters posted on Facebook that they couldn’t park in surrounding streets because two-hour restrictions had been implemented at the request of residents.

� e council will build more commuter parking in Market Street, Newport, but an o� cer’s report said this should not come at the expense of residents’ parking.

� e report said the council was in talks to introduce unrestricted parking for Altona commuters on the south side of Railway Street North. \ GD

deputy ready to DON MAYORAL ROBES maribyrnong council

Deputy mayor Grant Miles is expected to take over as mayor at a special meeting of Maribyrnong council tonight.

Cr Miles is likely to be nominated unchallenged, with independents holding the numbers over Labor councillors four to three.

Labor has previously used its majority in the council to sew up the coveted mayoral position .

Cr Miles, a � rst-time independent councillor, said he would welcome the opportunity to take the role, but maintained

that anything could happen in the vote.Outgoing mayor Catherine Cumming

told last week’s council meeting it had been “an absolute pleasure” serving the

community as mayor.Cr Cumming was elected mayor

last October a� er 15 years on the council.

She said a major part of the role was helping councillors work well

together.“Four years is a long time, but I think

the community will actually see things from this four-year term [of councillors] quite quickly,” she said.

“I’m actually hoping ... what we’ve achieved in the last 12 months will mean we start seeing things in the next couple of years.”

Cr Michael Clarke said Cr Cumming’s term as mayor had been nothing less than fabulous.

“You’ve done a tremendous job and I think you’ve truly grown in the role,” he said.

“I think no council can ask more of any mayor than even-handedness and fairness, and you’ve done that.

“Your verve, your enthusiasm and the absolute joy with which you’ve taken up the role has been, for me, a delight and an inspiration.” \

new point of view for planning city

footscray

An independent planning panel may be formed to help Maribyrnong council determine the future of development in Footscray.

Almost 70 submissions on a dra� Footscray structure plan (amendment C125) would be considered by the panel, which would be appointed by Planning Minister Matthew Guy.

� e council’s structure plan focuses on a � ve-kilometre-square footprint from the Maribyrnong River to Ballarat and Geelong roads, dividing Footscray into eight distinct precincts.

It includes predictions that about 7000 new dwellings would be needed to house an expected increase in resident numbers to 30,500 by 2031 – almost double the present population.

At last week’s council meeting, Hugh Basset, of the Inner West branch of the National Trust, warned against token façadism and called for heritage issues to have greater prominence in council decision making.

Resident Ben Speth called for a European-style height limit of six to eight storeys around the Footscray station area, down to four storeys elsewhere.

“I guess I don’t think it’s [the plan] gone far enough,’’ Mr Speth said. “I would dearly love to see an environmentally ethical, socially responsible, historically conscious city.

“I’ve lived in a number of places and the models I take, Berlin, Stockholm, even Rome ... these places would not allow the kind of buildings that this council allows and I think that’s really unconscionable. We can do better.”

Council sustainable development director Nigel Higgins said the council had called for the formation of the independent panel to look at concerns like those expressed at the meeting. \ BM

former Detective in problem-solving companySES ANNIVERSARY

It is � tting that retired homicide investigator Charlie Bezzina will be the guest speaker at the Altona SES 30th anniversary dinner.

Over the years, volunteers of the Altona unit have helped the homicide squad on unenviable tasks like searching the Brooklyn tip for body parts in 2001 and trying to � nd evidence to stop serial killer Paul Denyer

terrorising the suburb of Frankston in 1993. Five founding members – Craig MacCallum, Leigh Hardinge, Alfred Pelns, Alan Tankard and Kay Stirling – remain with the SES unit, which was formed a� er a 1982 storm that killed two people and injured 20.

Since the unit’s inception, volunteers have given more than 152,400 hours of their time to help residents of Hobsons Bay and the wider community.

� e biggest local crisis since the fatal 1982 storm was the recent windstorm that caused widespread building damage and felled trees across the city. Between September 26 and October 6, Altona SES received 342 calls for help from around Hobsons Bay.

Altona volunteers have also helped at the 1987 and 1993 Maribyrnong River � oods, a 1995 Werribee train accident and 2009 Black Saturday bush� res. \ GD

budget cuts weaken the thin blue line POLICING

O� cers are being pulled from front-line policing to do administrative work and ‘babysit’ prisoners, according to retired homicide squad detective Charlie Bezzina.

� e veteran former police o� cer, who worked on high-pro� le cases such as the deaths of gangster Alphonse Gangitano and cricketer David Hookes, will speak at next month’s Altona SES 30th anniversary dinner.

Mr Bezzina (pictured), who spent nearly 38 years in the force , also investigated the Wales King ‘society murders’, serial killer Paul Denyer and the child killer dubbed Mr Cruel.

Mr Bezzina, a former Altona North sergeant and drug taskforce member at Footscray, says he plans, in his speech, to cover investigative techniques and what the lot of a police o� cer is really like.

He said police were increasingly doing administrative duties that used to be performed by civilian sta� . “� e fact is, the government has stripped some signi� cant � nance from the police department and I believe it might have been $60-odd million last budget,” Mr Bezzina said. “� ey’ve also stripped unsworn positions or public servants, as it were, but they stated that that will not a� ect frontline policing.

“But who does the work of the people who are no longer working for the police, the support personnel?

no half measures for historic hotel

WILLIAMSTOWN

Renovate or detonate? � at’s the question hanging over Williamstown’s former Oriental Hotel on the Port Phillip Woollen Mill development site.

Heritage Victoria is investigating whether the hotel should be included on the state’s heritage register, while at the same time Victoria’s planning tribunal is deciding whether it should be demolished.

In February, Hobsons Bay council refused the demolition of the 1854 hotel, which is Williamstown’s second-oldest building and possibly the state’s � rst three-storey brick hotel.

Evolve Development is appealing the decision at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal so that it can build a six-storey, 83-dwelling apartment block as part of a larger development that could house 2000 people.

Heritage Victoria executive director Tim Smith said an o� cer would inspect the hotel and then he would make a recommendation on whether to include the place on the register.

Mr Smith’s recommendation will be put on public notice and the community will have 60 days to make a submission.

VCAT was expected to hand down its decision as early as next month.

Evolve director Ashley Williams accused residents lobbying to save the hotel of delay tactics. He said people were being misled to think the hotel could be saved. “� e reality is that the fabric of the building doesn’t even warrant a Hobsons Bay listing, let alone a state listing.

“� is is a last-minute e� ort by the objectors to further delay the redevelopment of the site.”

Save Williamstown spokeswoman Charmian Gaud said the building was a rare example of a Victorian colonial Georgian hotel that had led to Heritage Victoria accepting a nomination for state heritage listing. \ GD

linfox reinstates union delegatesINDUSTRIAL ACTION

Two Linfox employees who were stood down a� er speaking to the media about alleged workplace bullying have returned to work.

National Union of Workers (NUW) delegates Michael Manolitsis, of Maribyrnong, and Ken Price, of Hillside, were stood down a� er speaking to the Weekly on October 16 when more than 100 workers protested outside Linfox’s Truganina distribution centre.

NUW organiser Matt Toner said the two employees, one of whom is an occupational health and safety representative, returned to work late last week.

“� e NUW thought that it was outrageous

that the company was going to stand down an OHS rep for speaking out about OHS issues,” he said.

“We put the company on notice that we were going to � le proceedings in the Federal Court and that brought about a speedy resolution.

“� e guys have unfortunately been given a warning for speaking out about OHS issues and we’re still not very happy with that, but at least they have their jobs and they’re back at work.”

Mr Manolitsis told the Weekly on October 16 that he was speaking out to raise awareness of workplace bullying for all employers.

“We don’t accept it in the schoolyard, we don’t accept in the footy � elds any more,”

he said. “Why are we accepting it at a workplace? ”

Linfox group manager Gary Max said the two workers had ‘‘received appropriate disciplinary action.’’.

In earlier statements, Mr Max said Linfox had “strict processes” for dealing with complaints .

He said 700 people worked at the Truganina centre and recent complaints had come from a group of 200 people represented by the NUW .

At the protest, the Weekly spoke to numerous male and female workers who said they had been bullied, and we saw many signed worker statements that are expected to be investigated by WorkCover. \

westies on trail of the besties food awards

� e best the west can dish up is being celebrated with the launch of a new food award.

Mr Weir said the pair were hoping the awards would be seen as a celebration of food in the western suburbs – and the people who

uni degree homage for Yachting hero

honour

Inspirational yachtsman John Bertrand has been awarded an honorary degree by Victoria University.

In a ceremony last � ursday at Flemington racecourse, Bertrand (pictured with wife Rasa) was recognised for his achievements in yachting, his contributions to Australian sport and leadership of the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.

Victoria University vice-chancellor Peter Dawkins recalled that the world champion and Olympic bronze medallist had skippered Australia II to win the America’s Cup in 1983, ending 132 years of American domination.

“� e Australia II victory was recognised by the Confederation of Australian Sport as the ‘greatest team performance in the 200 years of Australian sport’,” Professor Dawkins said.

Bertrand became chairman and president of Swimming Australia in August. In 2001, he became chairman of the Alannah and Madeline Foundation .

Bertrand described the honorary degree as a “wonderful highlight” .

“I love this country; I love what we stand for in terms of freedom and I love the fact that sport is such an important part of the DNA of our nation,” he said. \ BM

YMCA Victoria is tackling the rising rate of childhood obesity with an old-school approach. A YMCA survey shows cost, safety fears and lack of time are the greatest barriers to parents encouraging their children to be active. So YMCA Active Kids is going back to basics with a Chalk it Up! program, which was launched at Braybrook’s Dinjerra Primary School during National Children’s Week. Lina, 8, and Zeliha, 9 (pictured), were among pupils who took part in various games. Chalk it Up! provides primary schools with buckets of chalk and game cards to inspire chalk-based schoolyard games such as foursquare, Y-ball, chalk baseball and hopscotch. The program is being rolled out across 19 primary schools in Melbourne’s west and in some YMCA camps and gymnastics clubs. Dinjerra Primary School principal Ros Mancer and physical education teacher Deb Domas encouraged all young people to pick up the chalk and start playing. \ BM

agency may aid in zero carbon pushCARBON EMISSIONS

An independent agency could be established to manage carbon reduction in the west as Hobsons Bay council works towards achieving zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

� e council last week adopted its Community Greenhouse Strategy 2013-2030, which is one of only 12 such plans nationwide.

� e strategy states there is almost universal scienti� c consensus on climate change being caused by human activity.

It states that the two main bene� ts of establishing an agency separate from the council are that it would be recognised as independent and would have a clear mission

and dedicated resources to reduce carbon. More than half of Hobsons Bay emissions are from industry (52 per cent), followed by freight vehicles (17 per cent) and energy used in residential buildings (13 per cent).

While industry was recognised as a major contributor to greenhouse gas, the council said less than 10 of Hobsons Bay’s industries were required to report their emissions under the carbon price legislation.

“� e remainder are not caught by the relevant legislation and don’t report their emissions,” a report to the council stated.

� e strategy states that even with “signi� cant action” by industry and all levels of government, “the target of carbon neutrality by 2030 may only be achieved

through the use of carbon o� sets”. It details actions that could reduce emissions by more than 340,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year – equivalent to about 16 per cent of the municipality’s total emissions.

Actions proposed include large-scale solar panel installations, green walls and roofs, lighting upgrades, public transport improvements and low-carbon � eets .

A further 13 per cent of emissions could be reduced by legislative, regulatory and industry actions outside of the council’s control, the strategy states. � e remainder – about 71 per cent of emissions – could be reduced through the purchase of carbon o� sets. \ GD

A 15-year-old Altona girl has released a debut CD for a year 9 project at Westbourne Grammar School in Truganina. Asami Weaver (pictured) launched her self-titled CD at a live performance with her sister, Suzuka, in Altona this month. Asami, who has performed with the Australian Opera, began singing publicly at age seven. She says she draws inspiration “from things that have happened in my life”. Three of the songs are originals; one of them, I Miss You, was written for a friend who lost a close relative this year. Asami’s singing teacher, Steven Zammit, helped write several tracks on the CD, which was recorded at Airwaves Studio in Altona Meadows. Asami says she wants to keep practising her music when she’s older. \ GD

TACKLING DIABETES

A Maribyrnong man’s positive attitude during a lifelong battle with diabetes has been recognised with a Kellion Victory Medal by Diabetes Australia.

Paul Poropat received the honour from Lieutenant-Governor Marilyn Warren last week in a ceremony at Government House.

Mr Poropat, 55, said diabetes ha d been challenging but also rewarding.

“Diabetes has made me the person I am – more compassionate, more understanding and sympathetic towards those who are ill or are not well, because I have experienced the highs and the lows,” he said.

Diagnosed at the age of � ve, Mr Poropat was looked a� er in his early life by mother Maria.

“It was so di� cult for her and in some way she gave me the strength to stand up on my own, to look a� er myself.”

� e sooner people living with diabetes accepted the condition, Mr Poropat said, the sooner they could get on with living a full life.

“Educate yourself about your condition and don’t let it stop you from doing anything in life. Remember, life is for living, not preserving.”

Diabetes Australia – Vic chief executive Craig Bennett said Kellion

Victory Medal recipients were an inspiration to people living with diabetes.

“People who have lived with diabetes for over 50 years

deserve our utmost respect and admiration,” he said.

“We all can learn a lot from their determination and attitude towards living well with diabetes.” \ BM

A large collaborative artwork drawing together more than 200 artists will be unveiled in Footscray next month.Geonaut features a series of panels painted by

community groups from Footscray to Melton, in collaboration with designer and director Adam Douglass.

Douglass (pictured) worked on a similar project in New Zealand � ve years ago. “It’s about making an artistic project that has positive social bene� ts, making links with a community for social outsiders,” he said.

� e multi-panelled geodesic dome is an immersive artistic experience, re� ecting the “social consciousness” of its creators. “We’ve had a huge range of people working together then you walk inside this collective consciousness,” Douglass said.

“My job is to make sure it’s working as a whole. It would be good for people to be able to stand back and see the cohesion of it, but also to be engaged in the hundreds of di� erent stories happening within it.

“You’ve got this huge range of emotional states and qualities and belief systems and we’re trying to capture that in a non-judgemental way .” Geonaut is being produced for the 2013 Big

West Festival by Barkly Arts Centre. Its program co-ordinator, Liss Gabb, said: “� ere will be so much enjoyment from just being in this space when it’s � nished. It will be an unusual, contemplative experience.”Geonaut will be in Nicholson Street Mall, 8am-8pm

Each morning Marshall Tuck wakes early, exercises while listening to a podcast of Australian news, then drives 20 minutes from Duhok to his workplace – the Domiz refugee camp in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. The Footscray resident is one of an estimated 274,000

people doing humanitarian work worldwide, according to a 2010 report by the international ALNAP network. The number keeps growing to meet an increasing need.

MARSHALL TUCK

Two million registered Syrian refugees live in camps in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey, according to the United Nations. The Domiz camp is home to more than 45,000 Syrians who have fled across the border to escape civil war.

Tuck, 44, is working for UNICEF and was placed in Domiz through RedR Australia, which provides standby personnel during humanitarian crises.

With a background in public health and nursing, Tuck works across UNICEF projects to help children achieve some normalcy. His work includes health promotion, supporting children’s access to basic schooling, raising awareness of child labour, promoting breastfeeding and immunisation, and dealing with water and sanitation issues.

Tuck, who has previously worked in Pakistan after the 2010 floods and in South Darfur in Sudan, says conditions in the northern Iraqi camp are particularly difficult. “Over recent summer months, temperatures have consistently reached over 40 degrees,” he says. “There is something about the weather here that creates sudden whirlwinds that can rip through the camp and blow dust through sections of it.”

The searing summer heat will slowly give way to a bitterly

organisation, has hundreds of humanitarian workers in 120 countries. Ireland says the team, which has an office in Melbourne, comprises passionate people who work to secure a child’s right to health, education and protection.

“Our aid workers carry out a range of roles while deployed across the globe, from distributing bread to Syrian refugees in Jordan to managing multiorganisational responses to massive disasters. Humanitarian workers often work in high-pressure situations when lives are on the line,” she says.

“They must work quickly and under pressure to ensure children and families are protected from danger.”

SELIN KASIF

A few months ago 16-year-old Selin Kasif was standing under the Zambian sun painting dormitory walls white. It was a far cry from sitting in the comfort of her air-conditioned classroom at Overnewton Anglican Community College in Keilor.

But being in Zambia is a dream realised for the student who had spent years trying to convince her mother to let her go to the Chibobo Orphanage. Run by the Help Ministries Project, the orphanage has strong ties with Overnewton College – volunteers from the school visit the orphanage most years.

The Taylors Lakes resident saved more than half the money needed for the self-funded trip and eventually her mother couldn’t say no. Kasif headed off with seven students, three former collegians, two parents and three staff members on a three-week trip to the village of Chibobo.

Flying into the Zambian capital Lusaka, Kasif was surprised at its touristy nature but signs of poverty became more evident as they travelled deeper into the rural areas.

“We got pulled over by the cops a lot because we had a lot

of suitcases in the back of the bus. One time we had to wait for about an hour and there was a girl sitting on this dusty truck counting to 10 – she was expecting us to give her money because of what she’d achieved.

“It made me feel embarrassed about how I live my life. Before going there I used to think ‘what do I need? I need a phone, I need this …’ Now I think I have everything compared to what these kids have.”

Kasif and the group lived at the orphanage, which houses 63 children from the ages of two to 19.

“We taught them the Nutbush but we kept messing it up and they got it in 30 seconds, which was pretty embarrassing for us,’’ she says.

“I hope to go back there one day and to other places in Africa. It was just a great experience and I enjoyed it because I was making a difference in their lives and they were making a difference in mine.” \

cold winter. The refugees have only tents for protection while dealing with the trauma of civil war.

“They are dealing with the unimaginable loss of their homes, having their livelihoods destroyed, financial loss, and family members’ whereabouts uncertain,” Tuck says.

The supply of resources from the humanitarian community and governments in response to the crisis remains stretched. Despite the drawbacks, Tuck says life continues as normally as it can in the tent city.

“There’s a range of small businesses scattered throughout the camp selling all sorts of items including food like delicious shawarma, falafels and kebabs. These shops are a good place to meet people, practise my Kurdish and Arabic and to support the community who have lost so much in fleeing their homes.”

These are some of the bright spots for Tuck, who feels he is “juggling balls at times to keep things progressing”.

“When things get negative or frustrating with things moving slower than expected, I am reminded and buoyed by the resilience of the Domiz camp residents around me.

“Whatever I have to deal with pales in comparison to what the residents have had to contend with.”

SARAH IRELAND

Save the Children’s humanitarian manager Sarah Ireland says that although humanitarian workers face challenges including cultural barriers, access restrictions and security risks, being an aid worker is extremely rewarding.

“It has enabled me to work in some very interesting places around the world, but most importantly to make a significant difference to people whose lives have been turned upside down,” she says.

Williamstown local and outgoing Hobsons Bay mayor Angela Altair

has served on the council for 14 years. The mother of three and grandmother of two also has a 14-year-old black Labrador, Barney.

What do you love most about Hobsons Bay?The sea! It’s in our DNA. It shapes you. It’s in our spirit, it’s in the air, it’s what makes it so beautiful. What people don’t realise is that Altona beach is three times as big [as Williamstown] and it’s absolutely exquisite.

The best spot to enjoy a sunny spring day?I live within walking distance of the Williamstown Botanic Gardens [Giffard Street]. It’s not only of state significance … you can walk around the magnificent gardens and then pop over the road to the beach.

Where is Hobsons Bay’s best sea view and why?The Jawbone Marine Sanctuary [off the Williamstown coast]; it’s a seaside nature reserve. There’s a park walk that takes you down to an observation deck. It’s beautiful. You’d swear you were back in time.

Where do you go for a quiet Friday night drink?Just last Friday we went to this beautiful old pub called the Stags Head [39 Cecil Street, Williamstown]. You can imagine the old dockyard workers leaning against the bar. There’s also the Steam Packet Hotel [13 Cole Street, built in 1863], one of the oldest pubs in Victoria.

Where is the best place to eat al fresco?We’re spoilt for choice. Naturally you’d go to Nelson

(su

)

Place with all the cafes. You can sit there and look at the lovely Commonwealth Reserve and see the yachts.

What is your favourite spring/summer event?The new Williamstown Heritage Beer and Cider festival [November 23, willybeerfest.com.au]. Also the Summer Sounds Williamstown; the local council puts on a number of outdoor concerts … and that’s an absolute treat [hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au].

Where would you take the grandkids for a holiday treat?I take Will, 6, and Oliver, 3, down to the Willy beach and there’s playgrounds nearby. It’s magic stuff. We

also go to the new Williamstown Library [104 Ferguson Street]. It’s heaven.

The best dog-friendly space?We are spoilt by the number of off-leash areas. They tend to be in spectacular surroundings along the foreshore. It’s no accident that Willy’s nickname is Dog Town.

Can you let us in on a local secret?Newport Lakes [via Margaret Street, Newport]. You’ve got these lakes and bushland in the heart of an urban setting within eight kilometres of the city. It’s a delightful surprise. \

To look in the mirror and love every aspect of one’s body without wanting to change a thing is rare...but possible. With yoga exercises and a bit of perspiration, people can be strutting their stuff with the confidence of a bikini model, says Shaan Lim, Bikram Hot yoga instructor and studio director of Bikram Yoga Yarraville.

She believes her seven years’ experience can help people achieve this.

‘‘Men and women can do this, along with reaching other goals many people have on their wish-lists: toning up, losing weight, improving strength, flexibility and relaxing the body and mind,’’ Lim says.

‘‘Bikram Hot yoga is a unique series of 26 postures (asanas) and two breathing exercises (pranayamas) performed in a heated room to about 39 degrees for 90 minutes.

‘‘As the body begins to shed unwanted kilos it will take on a new, more toned shape that fits better in clothes and looks better naked.

“New members can, for just $39, receive unlimited yoga and feel the benefits in 30 days.’’

Lim says Bikram Yoga Yarraville is one of the two authorised Bikram Hot yoga studios in the Western suburbs and all teachers are certified instructors.

featureSnap-on dentures revolution

Not being able to tuck into favourite foods due to poor-quality dentures puts a real dampener on enjoyment. But Newport

Denture Clinic provides quality dentures to ensure that situation doesn’t have to arise.Dental prosthetist Goran Sabotkoski has more than 20 years’ experience in the field and, along with his two senior dental technicians, specialises in cosmetically designed upper and low dentures – acrylic or metal – and custom-made mouthguards in a variety of colours.“As well as traditional dentures, we now use the new ‘snap on dentures’ which have no clasps or palatal material in the mouth,” Sabotkoski says. “These dentures attach to a patient’s natural teeth so there’s no damage to them and we can change the appearance dramatically to whatever shape or colour they want.“We also do express repair work, within one hour, which is a boon for people in a hurry.”Teeth whitening is also available.And for people who can’t get to the clinic, Sabotkoski does home visits which are free to residents living in the local area.“I visit nursing homes to help the people who can’t get to me, and the elderly in their homes if they can’t drive. Going above and beyond is all part of the service.”Victorian Denture Schemes and Veteran’s Affairs cases are most welcome, with pension discounts also available.

Newport Denture Clinic, at 342 Melbourne Road, Newport, opens 9am-5pm Mondays-Fridays and by appointment only on Saturdays. Inquiries: 9391 9999 or facebook.com/newportdentureclinic

Sure to attract plenty of interest from growing families, this large and welcoming house in a desirable locale has Spotswood train station, Hudson Road

cafes, schools and parks nearby. Resplendent in off-white with green trim and

terracotta tiles, the Californian bungalow-style house is complemented by a lawned front yard with mature trees and a decked porch.

Inside, hardwood floorboards, ceiling rosettes and picture railings pay homage to a previous

era. Of the three bedrooms that branch off the long hallway, one has carpet, floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes and a brick and marble fireplace. Another has a wooden mantle, while a third has built-in wardrobes.

They share a blue and cream-tiled bathroom with bath, wooden vanity and shelf, and sash window.

The whole family will enjoy the retreat offered by the open-plan living hub at the rear.

A dining space has a brick fireplace, while the lounge area is flooded with natural

light thanks to double french doors. The timber-trimmed kitchen has stainless-steel appliances, including a Chef oven and cooktop, and Bosch dishwasher, along with a cream-tiled splashback and wooden venetians.

Tucked away on the left is a possible fourth bedroom or a study.

Slate floors adorn the laundry, and there’s a separate toilet and shower room. Heating, cooling and security system are included.

The french doors open to an impressive back garden with plenty of lifestyle scope.

A paved undercover entertainment area wraps around to the right.

A second paved area is elevated and includes a spa.

The garden also includes astro turf, raised herb and vegie beds, and a bamboo feature on the back fence.

Last, but not least, is a building comprising another possible bedroom or studio, and an adjoining workshop. A carport and driveway provide off-street parking. \

A big open-plan living-dining space is near the updated kitchen, which has stainless-steel

appliances, a dual-drawer dishwasher and an abundance of storage and bench space.

InMem

It is with great sadness that we announcethe passing of Mr John Librizzi on Saturday26th October, 2013 at St Vincent’s hospitalafter a short illness. Footscray will miss oneof their favorite sons, living and working inthe area for over 47 years. John, managedP Di Natale (Footscray) Pty Ltd located at 225Barkly Street, Footscray.

P Di Natale Real Estate was establishedby Paul Di Natale, John’s brother in law,in 1956. After having success as a mastertailor John decided to join Paul in Real Estate.John’s business acumen has shone over theyears with many long standing clients buyingand selling homes repeatedly through John.The relationships John fostered with clientstranscended all expectations. His clients werea succession of generations with parentsreferring their children knowing that Johnwould secure the best outcome for them.

The business today is thriving due to John’sability to keep staff motivated and feeling thatthey are part of the P Di Natale family. Thisis evident through the low turn over of staffthroughout the years. Most staff have beenwith John for over 20 years. John was drivenand encouraged all staff to participate. Thisfostered a strong team spirit to make thisbusiness the success it is.

Respect and loyalty were paramount toJohn. Those who knew him would enjoy achat and understood that what you saw waswhat you got, he was so honest. In 1992,selling a house under instruction from StateTrustees, John came across a large sum ofcash hidden in furniture. His diligence andhonesty meant that the beneficiaries of theestate benefited by more than $30,000.

Many clients felt so comfortable with Johnthat they would often seek advice in regardsto family matters, which he would happilymediate. Over the years, clients becamemore than “just clients”, friendships werefostered. All who dealt with him throughouthis life either in business, family or supportingcharities close to his heart, will agree, he willbe sorely missed.

John’s legacy leaves staff enjoying a strongsense of family values, which were displayedover the years with suggestions that havenow become traditions. Celebrating staffbirthday’s with cake and song, the annualfooty tipping competition which he wonnumerous times. He would decree the winner

to buy pizzas for everyone involved in thecompetition. Fund raising activities includedCancer Council morning teas to raise moneyon Daffodil Day. Christmas functions includedJohn dressing up as Santa and handing outpresents to not just staff but their children too.

John’s love of gardening is prevalent inthe office with the diligent care of a fewplants being attended to by staff, under hissupervision. John’s heritage was Italian, onehe embraced by being a member of severalItalian social clubs. He loved playing cards,particularly briscola. Soccer was a passionand he followed Juventus whose colours,much to his disgust are black and white notnavy blue which represents his true passionthe Carlton Football club.

Johnwasagenerous,honest,compassionate,hard working and loyal man. He was awonderful husband to Angela and togetherthey brought up their family in Footscray.Today, John has children living only as far asCanberra, with his other children and grandchildren still living in the Footscray area.John was a wonderful father, grand father,brother, brother in law, uncle, employer,mentor and friend to all. Not many peoplepossess all these qualities and lucky for uswe were so fortunate to have had him in ourlives. Although he will no longer be presentand so sorely missed, our pledge to all thefriends and clients of P Di Natale Real EstateFootscray, will be to honor John’s legacy inall that we continue to do.

\ rod easdown gets behind the wheel

A little over a decade ago Volkswagen’s reborn Beetle started a spate of retro cars. The Mini, Chrysler’s PT

Cruiser and Citroen’s C3 all followed, and this led a prominent American car designer to forecast the big problem with retro cars; when it’s time to update how do you facelift a retro design?

Mini, by far the most successful of the bunch, keeps things fresh with lots of variations on the original theme, to the point where there’s now even a Mini SUV.

The sadly underpowered PT Cruiser faded away, the C3 bumps along at a few sales a month and, after a disappointing initial response, Volkswagen is giving the Beetle another go.

It’s bigger than the first retro Beetle with a longer roofline that’s higher at the rear, a design that’s far less sympathetic to the original 1940s VW but allowing your actual people to ride up back without detaching their heads.

It has also proved beneficial for luggage space, which is now on par with many small hatchbacks.

Mind you, the Beetle costs a lot more than most small hatchbacks. And you can’t get four doors. And if you don’t want a clutch pedal, your only option is the

seven-speed direct shift gearbox. It’s better than most electronic manuals but it’s still nowhere near as smooth or as fuss-free as a conventional auto. I don’t like DSGs much. There are annoying dead spots and flat spots, but they’re good on fuel.

Even with DSG the Beetle is a nice thing to drive. It handles surprisingly

well and makes even challenging corners easy. It goes quite hard once you get over the inordinately slow initial take-off, and it overtakes pretty well too. But while it may be

perfectly happy to be driven hard, this is not a car to drive with

enthusiasm because you look rather ridiculous. The Beetle is more something for cruising the boulevards and sashaying the St Kilda foreshore on long, balmy nights.

The surprising thing is that it rides so well. The interior is comfortable and nicely finished, with extensive metal trim carrying the exterior colour.

It may be greatly improved and thus of wider appeal, but with its looks and premium pricing the Beetle will always be a niche car. And I can’t help thinking that, Minis notwithstanding, the retro thing is done now. \

ALTONA STEPS UP THE PACEBowls

Altona targeted a four-game cluster, starting last Saturday, to snap out of its early-season lethargy in the Bowls Victoria metro premier division.

� e A’s had been winning, but not with the kind of verve skip Brett Dodd wanted.

� ey were in cruise mode, and Dodd recalled last season when the A’s had to play catch-up a� er a slow start.

“We’ve been going okay, but I don’t think we’ve set the world on � re,” he told the Weekly. “I wanted to let the boys know we’ve got a really tough month in front of us and it’s time to switch on, both on Saturday and during the week at training.

“I had a feeling that we think we’re going a bit better than we are and that it’s just going to happen ... and that’s what sort of happened to us last year.”

� e recalibration had an instant impact. � e A’s kicked o� their big month with an 84-60 win over previously undefeated Bundoora RSL at Civic Parade in a Saturday twilight game.

� ey were superior in three of the four rinks, with the only loss to Brenton Coad, by a single shot. Brett Foley was up six, Brad Peck up eight and Dodd up a game-high 11.

“If we play like we did today every week, we’ll be hard to beat,” Dodd said.

league adds a division in bid to even things up� e Western Region Football League will expand to three divisions in 2014, a move prompted by the arrival of two new clubs – Werribee Districts, from the VAFA, and start-up club Tarneit.

� e WRFL board’s decision to create a third tier was to bridge the gulf between sides at the top and bottom of the respective divisions.

Last season was a case in point. � e second division � nalists were decided a long way out from the end of the home-and-away rounds and rendered a lot of games meaningless, while the top sides in division 1 had their annual beat-up of the side that would eventually be relegated.

“As part of the 2010-13 strategic plan, one of the six key issues raised was the evenness of the competition,” WRFL football operations manager David Newton said. “By moving to three divisions, it is anticipated the imbalance of recent years will be reduced signi� cantly.”

� e 2014 season will begin with two divisions before splitting into three a� er each side has played each other once.

From round 14 onwards, the league will have 10 teams in division 1, eight in division 2 and six in division 3.

� ere will be no promotion-relegation between division 2 and 3 at the end of next season, but both leagues will have a � nal four and premiership spoils on o� er.

� e all-important dra� � xture will come out mid-November. \ LJ

slow-start clubbers endure home defeat

VTCA

In recent seasons, Yarraville Club has made indi� erent starts, adding a touch of intrigue to a side that has won four of the past � ve Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division � ags.

A tie and a loss is all the Clubbers have to show from their opening two matches.

While no one is suggesting the end of an era is near for this crop of players, the air of invincibility seems to have thinned following last year’s semi-� nal exit to eventual premier Greenvale.

On Saturday, the Clubbers did what they seldom do – lose on their home turf at Hansen Reserve, going down by 41 runs on � rst innings to South Caul� eld .

Set 192 for victory, the Clubbers su� ered a top-order collapse to be 6-45 before eventually making 150.

Adam Contessa was the standout with the bat, making 72 o� 97 balls, including 13 fours.

In north division, Williamstown CYMS (179 and 4-117dec) beat Footscray United (85 and 2-77) .

Janaka Siriwardana, with 86 including 15 fours and three sixes, and opening bowler Andrew Walshe, who took 7-26, set up the CYs’ win.

It was a weekend to forget for Altona North, Laverton and Spotswood, with all su� ering � rst-innings defeats.

In north A1, Altona Roosters (199) had a thrilling nine-run win over a go-slow Seddon (9-190) a� er James Lomas snared a � ve-wicket haul.

In west B1, Connor Danaher was the toast of Barkly Street Uniting (217) a� er scoring 117 not out in his side’s hammering of Footscray ANA (97 and 8-89). \ LJ

spikes in at the crease and there was also an inordinate amount of movement in the air.

� e Bulldogs chewed up the target in a breeze; 26.4 overs to be precise. Russ, who had been in sparkling form for the Victoria second XI in futures league action during the week, was the lone dismissal for 10.

� e 61-run partnership between Kight (52) and Dean (23) remained unbroken when the Dogs passed the target. Everyone was keen to see if Kight has what it takes to make the step up from No. 4 to opener, and he responded.

“With losing Wes [Robinson] back to Western Australia, we always felt that once he le� Dylan would go to the top of the order.

“� ere was a thought at the start that perhaps Trav Dean would open the batting, but I just thought it would be too much change and we could leave Trav at three because he’s been terri� c,” Chapman said.

dogs also-rans no moreCricket

Footscray Edgewater’s spectacular start to the Premier Cricket season claimed another unsuspecting victim in neighbours Essendon.

� e Bulldogs were also-rans last season but are now being talked up as � nals contenders.

A� er Saturday’s thumping nine-wicket win over the Bombers, it’s not hard to see why. � ey � nished a block of one-dayers with a 4-1 record and attention is turning to whether they can sustain their form in the two-day format.

Bulldogs coach Steve Chapman told the Weekly a number of factors had led to the vast improvement this season, including players who developed under former coach Barry Neivandt being a year older, bowlers showing improvement in all facets and the � elders building pressure on the opposition.

� e already-imposing batting line-up – led by captain Dean Russ, wicketkeeper Dylan Kight and � rst drop Travis Dean – has picked up from where it le� o� last summer.

� e Bombers, sent in on a slow, low deck, crumbled for 96 in 36.2 overs at Merv Hughes Oval. Chapman praised opening bowlers Hamish Winter-Irving (2-24) and Jake Haber� eld (2-29) for continuing their outstanding form .

“If you can knock one, two and three in the order, or two of one, two and three o� quickly and get the middle order in, that’s going to make a signi� cant di� erence in the game, and we’ve done that,” Chapman said.

If there was a slight on the Bulldogs bowlers, it was the concession of 26 extras, including 18 wides. So� conditions under foot made it hard for the pacemen to grip their

werribee takes derbybragging rights

VSDCA

Altona copped a 55-run defeat at the hands of Werribee in a hard-fought derby at Chirnside Park on Saturday.

� e A’s had a huge 263 target to chase on a di� cult a� ernoon for batting and the outlook became bleaker when they slumped to 4-69.

New skipper Shane Jones breathed life into the chase with 60 in the middle order, while Lee Elmore (33) and Aaron Maynard (26) got starts and couldn’t go on with them.

In a rain-a� ected week that made a number of grounds unplayable, Yarraville and Williamstown had to settle for draws against Endeavour Hills and Melton respectively. \ LJ

back to basics: rams show how it’s doneBaseball

Newport Rams are back in business a� er a 5-0 shut out of Sunshine Eagles in Baseball Victoria’s summer league � rst division .

� ere was no rocket science behind the Rams’ form reversal, just a stricter adherence to the basics.

� ey executed their plans better at-bat, moving runners around base more frequently a� er stranding too many in recent weeks, and defensively they barely put a foot wrong, backing up their hard-working pitchers.

“We were able to execute the basics better and that was the key,” Rams assistant coach Gavin Young told the Weekly.

“When we got into trouble, our defence was strong and we’d turn a double play or something to take the pressure o� the pitcher to get out of trouble.”

� e Rams have an abundance of talent at their disposal, but they are raw for

division 1 experience in comparison with most other top-� ight clubs.

� e Grant Weir-coached team squared the ledger at 2-2 a� er the � rst month – an indication of where the team is at in its development. Young says once the side can

iron out its inconsistencies, it will be more than a thorn in the side of the

established clubs. “We’re a side that’s still young

and we’re going to have our ups and downs,” he said. “It comes down to execution with us. If we execute,

we’re as good as anyone in the league on the day.”

Gri� n Weir, Travis Bass and Matthew Lawman enjoyed their battle with Sunshine import Chris Prokupek, picking up two hits apiece.

Lawman, one of the side’s spiritual leaders, was a nuisance with the bat and cut o� every ball that came in his direction at shortstop.

“He came out and got a couple of crucial hits and was solid in defence,” Young said.

“He was instrumental in a few plays. � e way he goes about his game, he sets a good example for the rest of the younger players and leads them well.

It’s always a proud day for the pitching sta� when you have a goose egg in your opposition’s runs column.

But it wasn’t an easy outing for starter Weir, who fought back a� er a shaky start to last six scoreless innings.

“He didn’t start the best, walking the lead-o� guy, but he fought it out and just kept on going, kept on throwing strikes,” Young said.

Import Bass closed out the game in the last three innings.

� e Rams face Preston, a side with an identical 2-2 record, away on Sunday.

In division 2, the Williamstown Wolves have � nally met their match, losing 8-4 to Fitzroy in a rematch of last summer’s spiteful semi-� nal series.

In women’s division 1, Footscray made a statement with a 19-2 win over Malvern. \ LJ
