Say no to family violence AN OPEN LETTER TO:

within specialist family violence services in a municipality in which 34 per cent of residents were born overseas and more than 40 per cent speak a language other than English at home.

While major system changes – together with shifts in community attitudes and behaviours – are required, historical funding shortfalls for front-end response services and inadequate investment in prevention means that there are also pressing “here and now” issues in the City of Whittlesea – one of the fastestgrowing communities in Australia.

A need for co-ordinated and evidence-based programs to stop the cycle of violent behaviour by perpetrators cannot be ignored.

We ask you to stand with us as we say “No to Violence” in Whittlesea.

Specifically, we call for a $1.1 million commitment that will be directed to: • Programs to increase the safety and well-being of culturally diverse women and children; • Whole-of-school respectful relationships education programs to prevent violence occurring in the first place and build positive attitudes in young people; • Specialist family violence services for women and children; and • Intervention and behaviour change programs for men aimed at stopping the cycle of violence.

The Hon. Denis Napthine MP, Premier of Victoria, and The Hon. Daniel Andrews MP, leader of the Victorian Opposition, from the Whittlesea Community Futures Partnership For decades, the scourge of family violence was hidden behind closed doors. Family violence in our community has been, and always will remain, unacceptable. It requires a firm commitment to bring lasting change and more respectful and equal, violence-free relationships between women and men.

We commend you for your contributions to putting the spotlight on family violence. We welcome the commitments you have both made to reduce the incidence and impact of family violence.

But over and above this, in growth areas such as Whittlesea there is significant catch-up work to do.

The rate of family violence has grown exponentially in our municipality since 1999, with a 249 per cent increase in reported incidents in that period. We have reached a critical new high of 1316 incidents per 100,000 people.

Every week, there are 45 incidents of family violence reported to police.

There has been a 15 per cent increase in the rate of children present in family violence incidents in the past 12 months.

We also draw attention to the urgent need to attend to cultural diversity

Men of the Whittlesea Community Futures Partnership say ‘no’ to family violence. (Damjan Janevski)

There are three simple things community members can do to tell the government and opposition parties that people want a fairer deal: ■ Sign the Fairer Funding petition at www.fairerfunding.com.au.

■ On the Fairer Funding Facebook page, share stories in video and photos about how a lack of services impacts on you.

Sweet deal for Betta Foods ‘‘

This sets a benchmark for other employers in the

- Melanie Raymond area

’’

Mr Campbell will work in partnership with Glenroy-based Youth Projects, an agency that supports people experiencing hardship such as disadvantage, unemployment or drug-addiction.

Youth Projects board chairwoman Melanie Raymond said Re:Capital’s acquisition of Betta Foods was very welcome news, and she called Mr Campbell’s approach to local employment a “game changer”.

“We’ve had about 20 unemployed young people land secure and meaningful jobs at Ernest Hillier,” she said.

“Re:Capital have committed to local jobs and this sets a benchmark for other employers in the area about the natural talents at their doorstep.

“Too often people see the northern suburbs as a basket case, but there’s potential for business success,” Ms Raymond said.

Kimberly Smyth

Learning curve to S-bend Kimberly Smyth saw her redundancy in 2012 as a blessing in disguise.

The Mernda resident had worked at Fairfax’s printing plant in Tullamarine as a print press operator for 10 years before the media organisation decided to downsize and shed almost 2000 jobs.

Faced with the daunting prospect of unemployment, the mother of four decided to fulfil her life-long dream and enrolled in a plumbing pre-apprenticeship at NMIT in Heidelberg.

“It was impossible for me to do a trade when we had young children, but I never let go of the idea of opening a female plumbing business,” Ms Smyth said.

That dream came true just months after her redundancy when she started her business Hey

Sista Plumbing, which she co-owns with her husband, a practising plumber since he was 18.

Ms Smyth’s persistence in breaking into the male-dominated trade hasn’t gone unnoticed.

This month she was one of 25 hardworking and dedicated apprentice plumbers across Australia to receive a $1000 grant under the Rheem Apprentice Plumber Grants program.

The grants are awarded to people most in need of financial assistance and are designed to help apprentices pursue their plumbing career.

Ms Smyth, 33, says her grant will go towards her trade school fees.

She’s hoping to expand the business next year when her youngest starts school, and hire another one or two female plumbers – preferably mothers.

A British restructuring company has bought Broadmeadows-based sweets manufacturer Betta Foods and guaranteed it will retain all 160 staff.

Hilco Capital’s international investment arm Re:Capital acquired the business for an undisclosed sum and plans to market Betta Foods’ popular Capricorn liquorice and Eskimo chocolate snowballs to a global market.

Both products are sold in Coles, Woolworths and Aldi stores and contribute to the company’s annual turnover of about $40 million.

Betta Foods is Re:Capital’s third acquisition in Australia, following its purchase of carpet retailer Allied Carpets in 2009 and chocolatier Ernest Hillier in February.

Re:Capital’s global chief executive, Paul McGowan, says the company is eyeing off more Australian businesses with potential for expansion.

“We believe there are enormous opportunities for specialist confectionery manufacturing businesses in Australia as demand increases,” he said.

Ernest Hillier chief executive Mark Campbell said the chocolatier and Betta Foods would combine their resources and market themselves to a wider clientele.

“We have a very defined strategy. We want to contribute to Australia becoming the world’s delicatessen,” Mr Campbell said. “We see a tremendous future.”

The handover from Betta Foods’ previous proprietor, Alex Sloan, took place on October 18.

Mr Campbell said not only would every staff member keep their job, but there were plans for expansion.

“Part of our strategy is to employ local people, young people, refugees and the unemployed,” he said.

Mernda musician Suzanne Kinsella cites leather-clad rocker Suzi Quatro as an inspiration and an obvious musical reference.

While the 31-year-old music teacher doesn’t always perform in a figure-hugging jumpsuit, she is a singer, songwriter and bassist who describes her music as less rock and more “alternative pop”.

Kinsella will debut her first solo album, The Conversation, at The Toff in Town on November 16. The album has been a two-year labour of love for the Ivanhoe Grammar Plenty campus teacher, who has worked full-time while writing and producing each track herself.

“It’s been a real coming-of-age experience, especially working full-time,” she said. “The creative process is a walk in the park, but all the other stuff – booking studios, promotion – has been really hairy.

“But it was important for me to work. I saved up to do this.”

Memories of conversations with close friends and family have been spun into tracks, hence the album title.

Asked to elaborate on her style of music, Kinsella cites a few familiar names in the Australian music industry.

“A bit like Sia, but more of the alternative side … and Rufus Wainwright, with vocals like Sarah McLachlan,” she said. “But, really, I’ve tried to create my own style.”

Before taking the plunge to work on her own career, Kinsella performed with and wrote for a number of high-profile artists, including Gotye, Deborah Conway, Jess McAvoy and Liz Stringer. She will perform at The Toff in Town, 2/252 Swanston Street, Melbourne, on November 16, 8pm. Tickets can be bought online or at the door.

No clothes and no permit

Mike’s career of caring

By Lexi Cottee Craigieburn’s Michael Casha is a bona fide high achiever.

The National Australia Bank analyst is also a carer for his older brother David, who has cerebral palsy, a volunteer with the State Emergency Service and online manager at community broadcaster SYN media.

To top it off, the 22-year-old was last week chosen as the Victorian ambassador for National Youth Week next April.

Youth Affairs Minister Ryan Smith said Mr Casha had been selected for the role because of his outstanding contribution to the state

government’s Involve committee, a youth advisory group.

Mr Smith said Michael would play an essential role in planning and promoting events for young Victorians.

Mr Casha is excited about his new ambassadorial role, with the theme for next year’s festival being ‘It starts with us’.

He said his own community journey had started with following in his mother’s footsteps. She volunteered with the SES for more than 30 years, and Mr Casha signed up aged 16.

He is also a tireless promoter of family carers, who often get no financial support if they’re

not a person’s primary carer. Mr Casha said he was initially drawn to SYN radio as an outlet to advocate for people with a disability, and for more than a year he had a weekly segment about the hurdles faced by people with a disability and their carers.

In the run-up to next year’s event, Mr Casha is urging people and community groups to get involved in Youth Week and youth issues.

Funding of up to $1000 is available for organisations hosting events that bring young people together.

Applications must be submitted before November 14.

‘Legs eleven’ took on a whole new meaning last Tuesday night when male and female strippers performed to a packed house of gamers at Thomastown Bingo Centre.

Whittlesea council is investigating whether the bingo centre breached its planning permit by organising strippers for the night’s “hens party” theme.

The council would not comment on whether strippers were appropriate entertainment and said it was looking into the scope of the venue’s permit.

What penalties or consequences a breach would call for were unknown as of late last week.

Council’s established areas planning assistant manager, Murray Ness, said a planning permit was issued in April 2012 for the bingo centre.

“There is no permission for strip shows, or similar, within the scope of the permit, and no such activities were contemplated in the application for the permit,” he said.

Thomastown Bingo Centre managing director Doug Willmot was bemused the event had attracted so much attention.

“It was just a night of a lot of fun,” he said. “We had about 600 women attend.”

Male strippers Magic Night performed, followed by female strippers “for the men” during an interval.

Mr Willmot said the centre had a town planning permit from the council to run the bingo centre, and a gaming permit for five days of the week.

Ill winds a blow for pets

By Lexi Cottee A bout of squally weather has led to a spike in dogs and cats being admitted to an Epping animal shelter.

Epping RSPCA shelter manager Liz Walker says the shelter issues warnings when extreme weather is forecast to remind pet owners to be mindful of their furry friends.

“Severe wind frightens animals and blows open gates that may not be as sturdy as they should be,” she said.

Ms Walker said most of the recently admitted animals were being collected within 48 hours.

The latest statistics for the shelter show fewer dogs were admitted to it during the 2013-14 financial year than in the previous year, and there were also more dogs reclaimed.

Between July, 2013, and June, 2014, 1601 dogs were admitted, compared with 1642 the year before.

And 1075 dogs were reclaimed in 2013-14, up by just six on the previous year. Sadly, 54 were euthanised in 2013-14 – 11 more than in 2012-13.

Admissions of cats in the 2013-14 financial year were up by 145, from 1401 to 1546, which was of particular concern for Ms Walker.

“People are moving into the area and are not desexing their cats,” she said. And as there was an established population of strays, this only added to the problem.

She said the rate of reclaiming of cats was extremely low, ranging from 5 to 8 per cent.

Whittlesea council staff members are doorknocking in new residential estates to educate and advise pet owners about their responsibilities and the benefits of having their animals registered.

Briefs A chance to help Super Cooper

Friends and family have rallied behind Cassie Batten and Rhett Wallace’s son Cooper and organised a fundraising day to help the family buy a car that can accommodate a wheelchair.

Super Cooper Day will be held at South Morang Primary School from 10am on Saturday, November 8. There will be market stalls, rides, auctions and live performances; and the plan is to raise about $22,000.

Do you know the mystery child?

Northern Hospital staff are trying to track down a 10-year-old Coolaroo child who sent them a mystery letter earlier this month. They would like to thank the child personally for the letter, which was decorated with colourful drawings and stickers and arrived in an envelope full of lollies. If you know who the child is, contact the hospital’s corporate communications via corporatecommunications@nh.org.au or phone 8405 2888.

Council seeks road closure input

In the past 12 months, the council has investigated six cases of abandonment, which involves residential tenants leaving their pets behind.

If you find a lost dog or cat, contact the council and ask to be put in touch with the

‘animal management’ or ‘locals laws’ section, which will advise what needs to be done next.

Under the Domestic Animal Acts 1994, all dogs must be securely confined to properties.

Contravention of the law can result in an on-the-spot fine of $221.

Whittlesea council is calling for submissions from anyone affected by the closure of Tesselaar Road in Epping. The council intends to shut a section of the road near Koukoura Drive to ensure land is retained for open space. If you’re likely to be affected by the closure, contact the council offices or make an online submission at bit.ly/1zn0t3B.

ired and run down as the end of the year approaches?

Perhaps a check-up with a doctor is called for.

Hillcrest Health Centre in Broadmeadows is just the place for it.

“Hillcrest Health Centre is a family-orientated practice which has been open for more than 25 years,” business manager Lisa De Petro says.

“We aim to provide all patients with the highest level of care.

“Our friendly and enthusiastic health professionals are committed to providing the best possible care for our patients by offering an affordable service, respecting each patient’s individuality and needs, and having qualified medical and reception staff.”

Lisa says the doctors and staff are multicultural and between them speak several languages, including Greek, Italian, Maltese, Hindi, Punjabi, Polish and Arabic.

The centre has nine GPs, including one female. Specialists and allied health professionals visit regularly, including a cardiologist, podiatrist, general surgeon, chiropractor, physiotherapist, dietician, gynaecologist, psychologist, audiologist and a pap smear provider.

A nurse is always on duty to assist doctors in small procedures, vaccinations, and triage.

Sable Pharmacy is located on-site for patients’ convenience.

“The pharmacy assists patients with their pharmacological needs and is handy for those who need medication urgently or don’t drive,” Lisa says.

She says the business has an extensive

recall and follow-up system that assists in notifying patients to return for test results or follow-up appointments.

The accredited private medical practice bulk bills and aims to provide patients the best possible treatments using the most

up-to-date and proven methods, materials and equipment.

The centre supports many charities and fundraisers, including Red Nose Day, World’s Greatest Shave and the Royal Children’s Hospital.

Full o’ beans roasted just for you D

imattina is an instantly recognisable name in the coffee world. The Dimattina family are pioneers of Melbourne’s coffee revolution, beginning in the 1950s with a commitment to sourcing beans from proven growers and roasting them in the best equipment on the market.

The Reservoir outlet began in 1998 as a warehouse, selling a wide range of beans roasted on a 30-kilogram Probat machine.

Nowadays, Dimattina Coffee Reservoir manager Mirella Bettiol says an upsized Probat roaster is producing blends from beans grown in Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Nicaragua and Ethiopia; there are also single origin beans and Fair Trade organic blends.

“Our biggest seller is our Prima Tazza, a rich, smooth and flamboyant blend of the five highest-grade beans from estates in Central and South America, New Guinea and Asia,” Mirella says. “In fact, Dimattina coffee was the overall winner at the 2011-12 CSR Golden Beans award.”

The business has expanded from warehouse sales to a cafe, where coffee lovers can enjoy biscotti, chocolates and other European sweets, as well as focaccias, toasted sandwiches, wraps, boreks, Christmas hampers and panettone.

It’s also the place to buy domestic espresso machines, cafetieres and barista equipment. “Our Edwardes Street outlet has become an icon for fresh roasted coffee in the northern suburbs,” Mirella says. “We have regulars who visit us to pick up their special blends for home.”

The team at the coffee outlet is a friendly and chatty bunch and, most importantly, knowledgeable about coffee and helping customers find the blend for them.

The magic flavours of Sri Lanka F

resh flavours and an electric atmosphere make dining at the restaurants of Sri Lankan businessman Lal Alvitigala and his wife, Priyanthi, an unforgettable experience.

Their third and largest restaurant, Chef Lanka Restaurant and Fine Dining in Tullamarine, opened earlier this year catering especially to the corporate market.

Chef Lanka is a celebration of sweet,

sour, hunger-enticing and sense-alluring Sri Lankan dishes and highly professional catering services.

They attribute much of their culinary success to their food theme, “a taste to remember”, which is common to all their venues.

The new venue can seat 200 people and is ideal for corporate functions, wedding receptions and dinner dances – events for

which the couple has already been catering through their restaurants in Glenroy and Melbourne’s CBD. “We regularly cater for functions of more than 400 people, cooking all the food at our restaurants and transporting it in special containers to the venue to keep it warm,” Lal says.

Lal is a qualified chartered accountant with 20 years’ experience as a finance

controller in the hospitality industries of Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Seychelles.

Priyanthi spent as many years as a commercial chef.

Both pride themselves on promoting the taste of Sri Lanka to an ever-growing Melbourne audience.

“One of the customers’ favourite dishes is egg plant moju [deep fried and cooked with red capsicum, onions and other herbs],” Lal

Couples looking to tie the knot in style can do so at Brookwood Receptions in Thomastown.

Owner Walid Markas has owned the family-run reception centre since 2007 and has enjoyed working in the function and events industry since 2000.

“I love making our clients happy and being around people,” Walid says.

“Our friendly and professional team is highly experienced in catering weddings, engagements, school balls, corporate and community functions from 50 to 500 guests.”

The team caters to different cultural requirements and an extensive menu delivers something for everyone’s tastes.

“A meal shared among family and friends brings everyone closer and makes an event much more special. To us, the food is a major part of the experience,” Walid says.

He says the venue’s function co-ordinators assist clients with every step to make their function a success and one to remember.

“We have large dance floors and mood lighting, while the bridal party has the convenience of separate bridal suites when getting ready for the big day.

“We aim to be flexible to meet all clients’ requirements and provide a personal service.”

Many of Brookwood’s clients leave messages of thanks on the venue’s Facebook page.

“Once again just wanted to thank Adnan, Walid and the staff at Brookwood Receptions,” Sinem Suat Celep wrote.

“My family, husband, guests and especially myself are still talking about how the service was professionally organised, the staff were friendly yet professional and the food was fantastic.

Thank you for making my wedding a memorable experience.”

Christopher Barber agreed.

“Everyone raved about the exceptional friendly and professional service and tasty food. Thank you Andy and all for making a stressful night one of ease and enjoyment. You guys set the benchmark to a professional standard, well done.”

It’s the well-considered design touches that elevate this house, such as a horizontal cavity in the family room providing a glimpse into the study nook which allows parents a peek at what the kids are watching; the 2.7-metre ceilings; stone benches; and porcelain tiles.

A carpeted lounge room near the front door is the spot for adult retreat when entertaining. The sleek kitchen, under a downlight-studded dropped ceiling, is

The main bedroom, off the entry hall, has a chic en suite with loads of storage in a dual-basin vanity unit. Three other bedrooms (with robes) are down the back and flank a gleaming bathroom and separate toilet. An integrated outdoor room has concrete underfoot that extends

43 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ OCTOBER 28, 2014

NORTHERN.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Targets elude chasers

By Tara Murray Greenvale and Tullamarine both struggled with the bat as they lost their matches in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s senior division on Saturday.

Chasing 290, the Kangaroos started the day against Beaumaris at 0-8 but a lack of serious partnerships saw them slump to 5-59.

The lower order provided some resistance, but the Kangaroos succumbed for 147.

Tullamarine’s batting order failed to fire at all against Strathmore, collapsing to a meagre 90 as it chased 244.

Strathmore reached 2-179 in its second innings.

The Kangaroos remain winless after the opening two rounds, while the Demons sit sixth on the ladder with one win.

In north division, Westmeadows’ batsmen came out hitting but still fell short against PEGS. Set a difficult 318 for the win, Westmeadows was dismissed for 299 in the second-last over.

Craigieburn got its first win of the season, taking first innings points over Merlynston Hadfield in north A1 Merlynston Hadfield started the day at 6-75 chasing Craigieburn’s 188 but was bowled out for 101.
