Women lose out in TAFE cuts
OUR COVER: Western suburbs identity Peter Gordon recounts some of his most cherished victories as a lawyer. Story: 12-13 Picture: Darren James
BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM FEMALE students in the west will be severely disadvantaged by the state government’s TAFE funding cuts, a new report reveals. Equating the $290 million cuts with an act of violence, TAFE supporters and educators said they would ‘‘enshrine sexism’’ in the western suburbs. The Victorian TAFE Association study found that funding would be cut by up to 85 per cent for courses popular with women, compared to 6 per cent for courses popular with men. The analysis compared funding for courses such as hospitality, retail, agriculture and bricklaying. Victoria University, the west’s biggest TAFE provider, has lost more than $32 million in funding and slashed 80 vocational courses and more than 100 teaching jobs. VU last week announced further cuts following the withdrawal of the youth guarantee supplement, which supports disadvantaged students in TAFE courses. Funding for the program was stripped from $2 million to $680,000. Student Miriam Bah, 28, who is completing a double diploma in community services and community development, said she chose VU because of its access to English language programs. The Liberian migrant said the axing of courses and teachers was a blow for women of migrant and refugee backgrounds. ‘‘There are so many women in the west where English isn’t their first language . . . many don’t even know how to write,’’ she said. ‘‘A lot of them also come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and going back to study at TAFE is the only pathway they can take to improve their education and join the working industry. ‘‘I fear that without these courses women like me arriving in Australia won’t have an opportunity to create a better life for themselves and reach their dreams.’’ Victorian TAFE Association executive director David Williams said the impact on women followed one of the most ‘‘education-

VU community development teacher Margarita Windisch said the cuts would ‘‘enshrine sexism’’ in the community. ‘‘It is specific discrimination against women. It’s harder for women because many leave the workforce when they have children. They need further education and skills training to get back into the workforce,’’ she said. ‘‘We have a lot of women in Brimbank who are of non-English-speaking background, single mothers, disadvantaged women . . . by taking away the opportunity to have public education we are marginalising them further.’’ Friends of VU spokesman Paul Adams said TAFE education was an agent of social change. ‘‘It improves the lives and circumstance of women in the west,’’ he said. ‘‘Taking that away from women is an act of violence because it reduces social mobility and

the ability to improve their situation, and it destroys hope.’’ Dr Adams believed the education cuts would lead to more problems in the community. ‘‘It’s no accident that there is a $400 million prison being built in the west, but funding for TAFE can’t be maintained.’’ State Skills Minister Peter Hall said the TAFE association’s claims were ‘‘outrageous’’. He said reforms to the sector were designed to drive uptake in courses that provided meaningful employment for graduates. ‘‘The TAFE association has looked at 10 courses undertaken mostly by women and in at least some cases it lied about the impact of the recent reforms.’’

INBRIEF Scammers on the prowl Brimbank police are warning migrants of a phone scam involving passports and visas. A number of recent incidents, targeting Indian nationals, have been reported to police. Detective Senior Constable Adrian Smith said the caller claims to be from the Australian Immigration Department and asks the victim to send a payment to the Indian High Commission to ensure an error with their passport is rectified. Police said anyone receiving such calls should contact the Australian Immigration Department to clarify their immigration status.
Woman assaulted Brimbank police are searching for a man who assaulted a woman in Cairnlea. The Cairnlea woman, 35, was walking her dog on Furlong Road on September 16 when she was approached by a man, who asked her to go home with him. When she declined, he grabbed her and kissed her neck. The woman pushed him away and fled to her car. The offender is described as aged 35-40, of Indian appearance with short, dark hair styled with gel. He was wearing a hoodie, black shirt, denim jeans, and carrying a dark-coloured backpack.
Drivers making car theft easy St Albans residents are being urged to be diligent when leaving their cars unattended. Brimbank’s Acting Inspector Jenny Wilson said there had been a recent increase in thefts from cars in the St Albans CBD. ‘‘The public are asked to remove any loose change, handbags or other bags, mobile phones and computers from these vehicles before leaving them parked.’’
Burglar active in Sunshine Police are seeking information about a man believed to be involved in a series of Sunshine burglaries. Four houses in Monash, Martin, and Neal streets and Devonshire Road were burgled on September 18. Acting Inspector Wilson said entry was gained after windows were forced or smashed. In each incident, cash, jewellery and small electrical items were stolen. The man is described as Caucasian, with skinny build and short dark hair. Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM HUNDREDS of Brimbank drivers are parking illegally in disabled spaces, causing difficulty and distress to residents with mobility problems. An average of 15 drivers are being caught every week by Brimbank Council officers. So far this year, 430 people have been caught parking illegally in a disabled space. A total of 798 drivers were nabbed last year, down from 864 in 2010. But St Albans resident Renee Biewer, who is wheelchair-bound, told the Weekly the number of people illegally parking in disabled bays was much higher. Ms Biewer, an amputee for 16 years, uses a modified car to drive. She said council officers were unable to monitor the issue at privately owned premises, including hotel venues and supermarkets. “Private facilities are the worst place for it,” she said. “People just park wherever they want without consideration to people with disabilities. ‘‘Police are already stretched enough . . . they don’t have time to monitor the areas. The owners barely monitor the car parks so these people continue to do it without any consequences.” Ms Biewer said she recently approached a driver who had parked illegally in a disabled space in Sunshine. She said the person took her crutch as she was trying to take down their registration and tried to attack her with it. “People are ignorant to the fact that not only do people with disabilities need the park because it’s close to the venue, but they need the space to open the door wide enough to get in and out of their car.” She said most offenders were middle-aged drivers “who should know better”. “They always say, ‘I was going to be five minutes’. It doesn’t matter how long you are going to be, you are breaking the law and disadvantaging a disabled person.” Brimbank disability advisory committee chairman Peter Thomson called for the state
Parking grief: Renee Biewer says many drivers are inconsiderate of people with disabilities.
‘People just park wherever they want without consideration to people with disabilities’ government to implement harsher penalties for offenders. The current penalty is $141. “There should be something like the hoon hotline,” he said. “Dob an offender in as they go. There’s actually a similar method of dealing with these offenders in New South [Wales] and I don’t know why the hell there’s nothing like that in Victoria.” Mr Thomson said the issue was the subject of many of the committee’s meetings. “For people with disabilities in Brimbank it’s an issue close to their hearts. We want to see higher fines so that people don’t continue to do

it once they have been caught.’’ Brimbank’s Acting Inspector Jenny Wilson said police were unable to monitor privately owned premises like shopping centres. “The responsibility is up to the owner of the space and we encourage them to actively enforce those regulations,’’ she said. The council’s acting general manager of city development, Stuart Menzies, said illegal parking in disabled parking bays was an issue for all municipalities. He said the council actively enforced parking laws to maximise parking for people with disabilities. “Our surveillance of disabled parking areas remains a priority,” he said. Over the past year, the council had responded to 33 complaints about illegal parking in disabled bays. More than 10,000 disabled parking permits have been issued to Brimbank residents and 300 disabled parking bays are available in council-owned car parks.

High density development: it’s Sunshine on the up and up THE possible addition of high-rise buildings to Sunshine’s skyline has emerged as a key issue of Brimbank Council’s town centre structure plan. The plan, now on public display, has attracted more than 73 feedback questionnaires and 16 written submissions. The restructure is designed to establish Sunshine as a key central business district in Melbourne and sets out building restrictions, accessibility and transport, services and economic direction for the suburb’s centre. It also
aims to increase diverse forms of housing and commercial buildings. But Sunshine resident Romy, who did not want her last name published, said draft plans featured high-density developments along the Hampshire Road rail corridor and eight-to-nine-storey buildings along Service Street. ‘‘I know that improvement to area is long overdue . . . amenities and services are strained,’’ she said. ‘‘[But] if this housing was built nine storeys high, our view to the city would be completely

destroyed, not to mention the lack of car parking space.’’ Chris Wilson, the director of Beyo Group, which owns the Service Street site, said in a statement to the council that the proposed design was consistent with decisions made in the past three years. The height allowance was appropriate given the site was set back from the main shopping strip and would not impose on the streetscape. Mr Wilson said any height restrictions would ‘‘significantly impact’’ Beyo Group’s
ability to deliver a building which satisfied the council’s objective of improving vibrancy in the town centre. Council’s acting general manager of city development, Stuart Menzies, said the difficulty with the site was that it sat at the edge of Sunshine’s main activity centre. He said plans were not finalised and were still on exhibition. After the public consultation period ends, unresolved matters will be considered by an independent panel. — Melissa Cunningham
Residents, airport on collision course BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM KEILOR residents have vowed to fight a Melbourne Airport expansion which could see a second flight path over their neighbourhood. Expansion plans include construction of a third runway, which could result in a second north-south flight path just 1.25 kilometres from the existing route. It would lead to an influx of aircraft flying over homes and businesses near Keilor Park Drive towards Avondale Heights. If built, the second flight path would fly directly over Keilor Village. Melbourne Airport maintains it has not made a decision on the preferred orientation of a third runway. Fight the Flight Path member Marc Fiala said he was concerned about the increased noise, air pollution and environmental impacts of a second flight path. ‘‘We want to create awareness about this project because residents have been left in the dark,’’ he said. The Keilor resident of more than 30 years wants to promote discussion with the airport corporation. ‘‘We also want to involve local, state and federal politicians to discuss alternatives.’’
REDHOT RED HOTSALE
A public meeting will be held this month to discuss the plans. Keilor resident Jody Freestone said passenger numbers were expected to increase to 60 million people by 2033. ‘‘We don’t want to see the area we enjoy living in ruined by a doubling of aircraft flying over our homes. I have a young family and I don’t want to see the health of children impacted by the pollution the added aircraft will bring.’’ A Melbourne Airport spokeswoman said a master plan was expected to be completed by the start of next year. Residents will be able to respond to the plan. A final draft will be submitted to the federal government by mid-2013. The spokeswoman said the plan would include passenger number forecasts, terminal and airfield developments, a ground transport plan and environmental strategy. Keilor Labor MP Natalie Hutchins said she understood the concerns of residents living near the Keilor Village. But she said the expansion of the airport would provide jobs to many people in the north-west. ‘‘I’ve spoken with airport employees from Taylors Lakes and Sydenham recently who have had their hours cut. There needs to be a balance between the concerns of residents and the capacity to grow the airport.’’

Imam denounces violent protests BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM BRIMBANK’S Muslim, Christian and Buddhist leaders have joined together to condemn recent protests against an anti-Islamic film which turned violent. After a meeting of the BrimbankMaribyrnong Interfaith Network, Sunshine Mosque imam Esat Yapici said he and other Muslim leaders had been distressed by last month’s protests in Hyde Park in Sydney and in other cities around the world. ‘‘That is not the Islamic way, it is the minority,’’ he said. ‘‘We do not accept violent protests, it’s not a good thing. We hope for peacefulness and to understand each other’s religions and differences.’’ Mr Yapici said the interfaith network meeting was held to reaffirm understanding. ‘‘We came together not to talk about our differences but to discuss our religions. We came to celebrate our religion and to represent members of the community who shared our faith.’’
He doubted the ripple effect of the protests would be felt in Brimbank. ‘‘I have not seen that kind of attitude in Brimbank.’’ The interfaith network’s acting chairman, Garnet Johnson, said religious leaders in Brimbank condemned the behaviour of religious radicals. ‘‘Many of the protesters have not even seen film or cartoon and their views are not consistent with Islamic beliefs. They are the vocal minority and we wanted to show our support to our Muslim leaders,’’ he said. Brimbank’s Acting Inspector Jenny Wilson said the absence of religious unrest in Brimbank was partly due to co-operation between police, Brimbank Council and members of the interfaith network. ‘‘The network breaks down the barriers and increases peoples’ knowledge of religions other than their own,’’ she said. ‘‘It’s a testament to the group that issues that have happened [in] other places have not happened here during what has been a testing period.’’

Long-held concerns still gathering dust BY BENJAMIN MILLAR INDUSTRY and councils must do more to reduce the impact of dust on the Brooklyn community, according to residents and the Environment Protection Authority. An EPA-commissioned report on dust sources reveals Brooklyn’s top four troublespots are Bunting and Somerville roads west of McDonald Road, Somerville Road east of McDonald Road, and Francis Street. Monitoring showed unsealed roads and verges and mud tracked from industrial estates caused more than half the area’s dust problems. The report marks the first time the source of the dust emissions has been detailed so precisely. On the Nose community group president Bruce Light said the results showed action was needed to make industry responsible for its activities. “There is a lot of goodwill from the councils, but there are still companies who hide behind ‘prior use’ to get around taking action.” The number of days on which air quality failed to meet EPA standards halved, from 40 to 20, between 2009–10 and 2010–11. But EPA metro manager Richard Marks said hundreds of tonnes of airborne dust were still
created in the Brooklyn industrial precinct each year. “While days with consistent northerly winds and days of dry weather have led to more instances of poor air quality, the overall dust levels are getting lower.” The report notes degraded bitumen, significant potholes and poor drainage. It recommends sealing roads and verges, repairs to degraded
roads and regular road cleaning. “The study reinforces that this is everyone’s problem,” Mr Marks said. ‘‘Industry and councils have a role to play in ensuring that solutions are put in place to stop the impacts on residents once and for all.’’ But Mr White said the focus on the condition of roads deflected attention from industry operators. He said operators were operating in ‘dust
bowls’ rather than investing in hard-stand areas or planting grass. “They hose it all down, but then it simply gets spread on the roads as mud,” he said. “You can try sweeping it, but you would need a vacuum to suck it all up.” Mr Marks said the EPA required sites that drew mud and dust onto roads to implement controls. “VicRoads and local government can also enforce against this.” The EPA issued recent pollution abatement notices (PAN) to Victorian Container Management, Rafnet and Simsmetal. “Tasman Logistics is expected to comply with its PAN by October, which required sealing of its container park in Cemetery Road, Yarraville.” Brimbank’s infrastructure and environment manager, Paul Younis, said the council had been working with the EPA, industrial landowners and residents to improve the Brooklyn area over three years. “During this time there has been significant improvement in the area and all the agencies and businesses involved recognise this will be a continual process of improvement.’’ A special-charge scheme to seal pavement on Bunting and Jones roads will be presented to this month’s council meeting.

Cultural voices unite to tackle winds of change BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM MULTICULTURALISM in Sunshine is the focus of a landmark documentary on climate change. Living With Climate Change – A Story Of Many Told By Few, now in production, explores the sustainability practices of Brimbank’s Burmese, Indian, Sudanese and Vietnamese communities. The film ropes in more than 60 migrant residents and examines how they intend to deal with the impacts of climate change. Wind and Sky Productions is producing the film as part of a Brimbank Council climate change project. Council’s community planning coordinator, Kath Brackett, said many residents had previously lived in communities where they experienced shortages of water, gas and electricity. And many had learned useful,
‘It completely debunks the myth that [they] aren’t aware and may not care a lot about the environment’ sustainable practices, such as growing their own fruit and vegetables. Ms Brackett, who is doing a postgraduate study on the topic, said the council would use information from the project to develop broader education and engagement programs to reach the area’s diverse cultures. “Through interviews it has become apparent that these communities understand environmental issues, many having personal experiences of the impact of climate change in their country of origin,’’ Ms Brackett said.
‘‘It completely debunks the myth that new and emerging communities aren’t aware and may not care a lot about the environment.” Ms Brackett said she hoped the film would encourage culturally and linguistically diverse communities to take up social justice issues. “We will promote the film and research papers widely,’’ she said. ‘‘We hope it will open up more conversations, awareness and skill sharing across the community.” Filming is expected to be completed by the end of this month. It will be launched at the Victoria University Sunshine Convention Centre from 5.30pm on November 9.

Fireys see red over cost cuts BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM BRIMBANK firefighters fear massive state government funding cuts will impact frontline services. Western region MFB officer John Hale said there was unrest among firefighters, who were uncertain what the funding cuts meant for them. ‘‘At this stage, I can’t even say how it will affect us yet because we aren’t certain of what will happen next,’’ he said. Firefighters at stations including Keilor and Deer Park say the cuts, which will take $41 million from the CFA and $25 million from the MFB, will affect staff numbers and compromise firefighter and community safety. United Firefighters Union secretary Peter Marshall said cutbacks were already having an effect on services. ‘‘Frontline troops’ recruit courses have

been frozen and we’re also seeing a scaling back of some of the training activity of recruits, which is a major concern,’’ he said. ‘‘The community needs to hold the government accountable for these cuts. The state government is already considering employing fewer firefighters at night because they believe they have a crystal ball and they can predict when a fire will occur.’’ Emergency Services Minister Peter Ryan maintained there would be no impact in frontline firefighting staff. He said the government would ensure that the CFA and MFB were resourced in a way that would not detract from their frontline.
Going swimmingly Pupils from Parkwood Green Primary School in Hillside and Paul Sadler (pictured) have tipped the first buckets of water into the school’s new swimming pool. The $2 million swim centre is a joint venture with Paul Sadler Swimland. Manager Brett Connors said the six-lane, 25-metre pool would allow the school to run group lessons for children. It will also be used by other schools in the northwest.

Tools down, for now For 20 years, Neil has had all the right tools for the job, writes Stephane Thomasse hen work and passion resonate, it’s hard to comprehend the notion of retirement. But after 20 years as a volunteer at the Braybrook Community Centre, 81-year-old Neil Dillon, a founding member of the Western Region Tool Library, has decided to take a step back. Mr Dillon’s enthusiasm about his work with the not-for-profit community service has never waned. ‘‘People can’t believe I’m 81. It keeps me young and active,’’ he says. A master builder for 30 years, Mr Dillon established the library in 1992 with the help of colleagues from a men’s support group. After Mr Dillon and his wife moved into a unit in 1996, there was no space for him to stock his tools, so the Braybrook Community Centre and Western Region Health Centre

Eventually we had the idea of setting up classes to relieve the boredom of just sitting around.’’ Mr Dillon has helped people build everything from chairs and tables to dog kennels. He’s also assisted with house renovations. He has dedicated up to six hours a day to the centre and taught woodwork to dozens of eager students. Driven, passionate, hard working and engaged with the community, Mr Dillon is a man whose values have never faded with age. ‘‘The people who taught me went out of their way to help.’’ Born in Brunswick, his childhood was a difficult one. One of four children, like many families during the
Great Depression they struggled to make ends meet. With his father out of work, his parents made the agonising decision to send the then eight-yearold to the former St Vincents Orphanage in South Melbourne. ‘‘Initially I felt homesick, but I did have 240 playmates,’’ Mr Dillon says. After six years at the orphanage, he dropped out of school and embarked on a career. ‘‘My mate got a job as a carpenter and his boss asked whether I’d like to work alongside him,’’ he says. Married with six children and 18 grandchildren, of Mr Dillon’s three sons, two became plumbers while one followed in his father’s footsteps. The Werribee resident remains involved at his local Men’s Shed. While officially retired, he continues to act as an advisor to the Braybrook tool library.

P
eter Gordon has come a long way since, as a teenage schoolboy, he was almost expelled for writing a satirical essay about his teachers. Today, he sits high above Collins Street in his legal firm’s office, where windows offer views across the city. He peers over to the western suburbs, not only his childhood home, but where he launched what would become a highly decorated legal career. Memorabilia highlighting one of his great loves, the Footscray Football Club, sits proudly on the wall. Since conducting the first successful asbestosrelated cancer claim in 1984, Gordon has become internationally renowned for his work on landmark legal cases, including Australia’s first successful litigation over medically acquired HIV/AIDS. Damages were awarded to 470 people who contracted the disease as a result of blood transfusions in the early 1980s. A lawyer then partner at Slater and Gordon for 30 years, Gordon helped fight the OK Tedi environmental case against BHP and, in 2001, concluded a world-first settlement over 3000 Dow Corning breast implant claims. He acted on behalf of a class action against a German drug manufacturer over the sale of thalidomide, with a multi-million dollar settlement last month to more than 100 Australian survivors. At 32 he drove the Fightback campaign, which saved Footscray from a proposed merger with Fitzroy in 1989. Gordon led the club until October 1996, when a group of businessmen led by current chairman David Smorgon took control. Born in West Footscray, he grew up in a modest three-bedroom weatherboard house in Palmerston Street, a few drop punts from the Western Oval. A dyed-in-the-wool Bulldog, Gordon and his mates were regular fixtures in the outer — rain, hail or shine. ‘‘On Saturday mornings, I would pride myself on being the first one into the ground,” he says. ‘‘I was only about 10 or 11, but we would go to Moorabbin, Windy Hill and Glenferrie Oval and watch our team get smashed week after week.’’ His father worked as a clerk at the Tottenham RAAF base and his mother a sales assistant at Footscray department store Waltons. At Braybrook’s St John’s College, Gordon met Rob Stary. They became firm friends and in 1978 started the Western Suburbs Legal Service while studying law at Melbourne University. Stary would go on to become a high-profile criminal defence lawyer. ‘‘He [Rob] was always a bit politicised,’’ Gordon says, ‘‘but I became quite radical as a leftwinger, resentful of the kids who went to Scotch
INSIDESTORY
College and Melbourne Grammar and what I perceived as the way they looked down on kids like us [from the western suburbs]. ‘‘There were some [volunteer-based] legal services around at the time, but they were in ‘trendy’ places like Fitzroy, being run by the cool kids who smoked dope and ran the student union. ‘‘Our view was the real need for legal services was for the poor, in areas such as Newport and Footscray.’’ But there was resistance from local solicitors. ‘‘For them, the idea of people coming in giving free legal advice was somehow a threat to the integrity of the profession.’’ Gordon had hoped to get a scholarship to study teaching, but it was not to be. ‘‘Neither myself nor my sister ever aspired to the idea of becoming a doctor or a lawyer,’’ he says, ‘‘because it wasn’t something kids from West Footscray did. ‘‘It wasn’t until a teacher at St John’s, Rowan McIndoe, who came from Scotch and went on to be a magistrate, said: ‘You’re not somebody who has to limit their aspirations, you can do law’.” By the time he completed his law degree, Gordon had been giving pro-bono advice via the legal service for two years. ‘‘I was arrogant enough to think I was in a much better position to give competent advice than lawyers twice my age,” he recalls. ‘‘But when it came to getting a job, I held the view that I was from the wrong side of the tracks and no reputable firm would employ a kid from St John’s College, Braybrook.’’ Without his father’s intervention, Gordon’s career with Slater and Gordon may never have happened. ‘‘I wrote applications to law firms, going through the Yellow Pages, starting at A and by the end of the day I had reached R. ‘‘My dad, who had been watching me, got a copy of my standard letter and did R to W, so he did S, including Slater and Gordon. ‘‘They were one of only two firms to give me an interview and my only job offer. ‘‘They turned out to be this radical, left-wing firm doing workers’ compensation claims and populated almost entirely by people who were covertly members of the Communist Party. ‘‘We were trained by leaders of that firm that there was a legal dimension to law, but also a political dimension. We were struggling for poor and disenfranchised people against the big end of town.’’ In the mid-1980s, Gordon, Stary and Paul Grant — now president of the Children’s Court of Victoria — ran a Slater and Gordon office in Footscray. ‘‘It went gangbusters,’’ he says. ‘‘We had no airs or graces and quickly developed a reputation in the local community as guys to talk to who didn’t have tickets on themselves and who you could just come and talk to.’’ Gordon admits his views on the rich-poor divide have mellowed. ‘‘Growing up, I had the idea that we lived in the ‘deprived west’ and that somehow people had it better elsewhere. ‘‘But, as you get older, travel and experience other cultures, you realise the differences in kids from one suburb to the next are not as great as you once thought.
‘‘I’m glad I don’t have the parochial ‘us against them’ attitude that I once did, because I think that was immature’’. While taking on the likes of the James Hardie, CSR and British American Tobacco would be enough to send most lawyers ducking for cover it wasn’t so for Gordon. But he still had moments of trepidation. ‘‘If somebody is genuinely not intimidated at taking on a federal government, the tobacco industry or Dow Corning, they need psychiatric help. ‘‘It’s daunting to go up against people with unlimited resources. Not every case has a happy ending and my career has been peppered with outcomes I don’t feel good about.’’ While splitting his time across three states as part of an absestos claim against CSR and starting work on the HIV/AIDS case, Gordon was running Save the Dogs, a group dedicated to ensuring Footscray stayed at the Western Oval. One night in October 1989, he received a call from Bulldogs chief executive Dennis Galimberti, who dropped a bombshell. ‘‘He told me: ‘You need to know that tomorrow they’re going to announce the destruction of the Footscray Football Club’,’’ Gordon recalls. Following a hastily convened meeting, Gordon gathered together a group of supporters, including Tim Guinnane — now a County Court judge — and they set about trying to save their beloved Bulldogs. Taking the Victorian Football League to court, they were given 21 days to raise $1.8 million and prove the club could be solvent. A supporters’ rally was organised for the Western Oval two days later — Sunday, October 8. ‘‘The line from the VFL was: ‘We’re going to give you [the club] just enough rope to hang yourselves’. ‘‘On the day of the rally, it was drizzling with rain and at 6am I picked up The Sunday Age and they had published a letter from [VFL chief executive] Ross Oakley saying rather than $1.8 million we now had to raise $5 million. ‘‘It was a deliberately crafted piece of propaganda designed to make people not come to the rally. ‘‘Fifteen minutes before it started there was almost nobody there — it looked catastrophic. But, in the blink of an eye we had somewhere between 17,000 and 20,000 there.’’ Gordon’s rousing speech to the crowd has become legendary. ‘‘I started with a line from a Midnight Oil song: ‘It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees’. ‘‘I announced the board, the new coach and I remember the wall of sound that hit me when I welcomed out the Footscray team for 1990. ‘‘I didn’t think twice to stick it to those blokes [the VFL] to get the result we needed. ‘‘I didn’t always think it was possible [to save the club] but was determined to give it my absolute best shot. If we were going down, I wanted to go down swinging.’’ Asked whether he would ever rejoin the club in an official capacity, Gordon leans back and pauses — deep in thought. ‘‘If ever I thought its existence was threatened ... I would do it.’’

Not a crossing too far for us I would like to again assure the local community that the Coalition government will begin the project of fixing the Main Road crossing in St Albans in this term of government. People were promised this crossing would be removed for the 11 years under Labor and nothing was done: no proper consultation, no planning and definitely no engineering works. I understand why people would be cynical about any government now making the same promise. It is a project that cannot be completed overnight, but the Coalition government is working to see the Main Road St Albans level crossing removed. Until that time, I urge all who use the crossing to take care.
with our rates notices, to form a more balanced number of Melton residents approving this change. Anything else of importance coming up we should hear of? I am still living in a democracy, I hope. Next question is the cost of changing the name on every piece of council paraphernalia. Remember, councillors, you are there to represent us, the residents. Madeleine Connor, Melton West
Re: Help us out, small traders plead (Weekly, September 18): Although Hatchlands Drive is basically at the far end of a fairly isolated suburb, one has to wonder if
Brimbank’s reliance on car travel and the overemphasis on road planning is to blame. Better bike and pedestrian paths would mean locals could access places like Deer Park easier and quicker, creating smaller retail hubs with regular and dedicated customers. It happens in other areas in Melbourne, even Maribyrnong, just not in the outerwestern suburbs which may as well be a camping ground for people who simply wake up, hop into their cars and drive off into other areas because there’s no other way. If that seems unreasonable, just look at the abundance of drive-through, fastfood outlets in the area compared to middle-class suburbs Roland

No mass movement for name change We are now officially the City of Melton. Apparently only 1109 people were polled in a survey about the name change last year. May I ask: were all those ‘polled’ residents of Melton? I was somewhat surprised that Melton was ‘‘awarded’’ city status. Perhaps our council could have sent out a flyer

‘Think before you drink’ aidstone’s best-known home renovators are urging young people to think before getting hammered. Josh and Jenna from television-hit The Block are 2012 Ocsober ambassadors, promoting a Life Education campaign for a good night out without excessive drinking. The Ocsober campaign urges participants to give up alcohol for the month of October. The couple (pictured) hope their profile from their time on The Block will reinforce their appeal to younger people to think before they drink. “We have a family member who has been seriously injured on a big night out – they were stabbed in the city,” Josh said. “It is just the norm for young people as soon as you turn 18, but it’s import-
M
ant to think about your choices. Just because you go out doesn’t mean you have to overdo it.” Josh said a lot of their childhood friends growing up turned to drugs and alcohol, with boredom a huge contributing factor. “We were just lucky that we didn’t head down that path. Instead we put all our energy into renovating and achieving our goals, but we do understand how easily kids can go off the rails.” Josh said that if their message got through and kept even one young person out of risk’s way, they would have done their job. To take part in Ocsober and support your favourite ambassadors, register at ocsober.com.au. Funds will help Life Education deliver vital health, drug and alcohol education programs in schools across Australia.

Laughter from death, love and money Sunshine play gropes for an answer to one of life’s big questions, writes Melissa Cunningham unshine Community Theatre will pull back the curtains this week on its latest show, its third and final for the year. Bawdy Australian comedy There’s More To Life Than Money and Sex tells of a group of people trying to get their hands on the unclaimed fortune of a recently deceased elderly woman. Director and Sunshine resident Donna Prince says audiences will see hilarious verbal battles between relatives, lawyers and even animals. She says the slapstick black comedy, written by John Marshall, features a talented cast of amateur and experienced actors from across the west. ‘‘There will be a lot of laughs, costume changing and a touch of
S
romance,’’ Prince says. ‘‘There’s a bit of everything in there . . . including cross-dressing and a huge twist. ‘‘We also promise to answer the play’s biggest question – is there really more to life than money and sex?’’ Newlywed Donna Prince is directing alongside her husband Dave. ‘‘It’s the first challenge of our marriage,’’ she says with a laugh. ‘‘We’ve always been involved with theatre, but this is our first production together.’’ There’s More To Life Than Money and Sex is at Dempster Park Hall, 82 Phoenix Street, North Sunshine, from Friday until October 19. Tickets: adults, $15; concession $12. Details: 0400 975 100

NURSING STUDENTS FACE VIETNAM CHALLENGE Many young Australians head to Vietnam for fun, sun, and good food. But a group of nursing students from VU’s St Albans Campus are seeing another side of the country. As part of their Diploma of Nursing training, 10 students are now on a two-week study tour to Vietnam, volunteering at Hanoi’s National Paediatric Hospital, the Hoa Bihn Peace Village, (an orphanage for disabled victims of Agent Orange) and at Blue Dragon, an organisation that helps rescue trafficked children. Coordinator and tour leader Dr Susanne Kristy said the students are challenged physically, academically and emotionally in a supported environment during their tour. “My experience on previous study tours has been that students improve significantly in their ability to work in culturally diverse and challenging environments,” she said. “For many, this is a life-changing event.” Before they left, the students collected donations of hospital equipment including stethoscopes, torches, scissors and thermometers, as well as toys from op shops that Kristy personally cleaned and repaired. At the National Paediatric Hospital, the group’s first stop, the students worked in four areas: neonatal intensive care, neonatal surgery, oncology, and a day program for children with autism.
“It was very hot in the hospital, and sweat just ran down our backs,” said student Ashleigh Davies. “It’s really sad because the parents are often taking their very sick babies home to die.” The tour also reflects VU’s objective to train nurses for employment in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Kristy said. “On their return, if the students go on to work as nurses in western Melbourne they will benefit from their Vietnam experience of caring for people from different religious and cultural backgrounds.” VU’s Diploma of Nursing provides students with qualification as a Division 2 nurse, able to work in a variety of fields from public or private hospitals to private nursing or community care facilities. Students gain hands-on learning experience through VU’s ward simulation labs as well as clinical experience through course placements. Graduates receive credit in VU’s Bachelor of Nursing or Bachelor of Midwifery degrees upon completion of their diploma. For more information about VU’s nursing programs, visit www.vu.edu/courses
FINANCIAL COUNSELLORS IN DEMAND Australians face increasing financial hardship in today’s world of easy credit, rising prices, predatory lending and an uncertain job market. As a result, the need for financial counsellors, who work within a model of advocacy and social justice, is also growing. Victoria University offers a Diploma of Community Services specialising in financial counselling, accredited by the Financial and Consumer Rights Council. The part-time two-year course is based at VU’s City Flinders Campus and includes mandatory industry placements. The course is aimed at those with community services experience who want to become professionally qualified financial counsellors. However newcomers to community services work are also welcome. Participants will acquire a range of skills in client assessment and casework, as well as knowledge in the use of consumer, credit and other legislation. Specialist units develop experience and knowledge in issues that affect financial hardship such as problem-gambling, mental health and homelessness. VU is holding an information session about the course on Wednesday 10 October from 3.00–4.30pm at its City Flinders Campus, adjacent Melbourne’s Flinders Street station. The session will include a presentation followed by interviews for enrolment. To register, contact Timothy Logan on 9919 8546 or timothy.logan@vu.edu.au
ENGINEERING NEW OPPORTUNITIES Victoria University’s Sunshine Campus is home to Australia’s next generation of automation engineers, a profession that has transformed the commercial and industrial landscape. Graduates of VU’s Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Electrical) join the growing profession of automation engineers who design, develop, install and oversee instrumentation and control systems. They can control processes from any location, whether it be from the room next door, the next suburb, or in the very near future, from a tablet device anywhere in the world – even while sitting on a Bali beach. VU’s automation training has state-of-the-art technology and facilities in a realistic factory setting designed to scale. For more information about VU’s range of electrotechnology courses, contact David Borg on 9919 7140 or email electrotechnology@vu.edu.au
TASTING THE BIG APPLE Computer whizzes head to Silicon Valley while aspiring actors descend on Hollywood. But there’s nowhere for glamour and fashion like New York City, where eight VU hair and make-up students are currently on a study tour. Four hairdressing and four make-up students were selected for the 10-day behind-the-scenes experience at New York Fashion Week as part of the University’s growing study tour program. The students were chosen following interviews and an assessment of their work and skills. The team received some state government funding, but they also contributed to their expenses and held a fundraising dinner for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. The University is rapidly broadening its study-tour opportunities for students as a way to further their work experience, improve their employability, and increase their personal confidence.

Desperation meets absurdity western suburbs producer is right in the thick of this year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival, juggling two new shows. Emily Sweeney is producing the one-man show Trying Hard — To Be or Not to Bother and “non-rom-com” Play Actually. In Trying Hard, 28-year-old Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall plays a man confronted with the loss of his youth and feeling desperate in the face of ‘‘proper adulthood’’. Tremblay-Birchall is a member of YouTube sketch group Stupid Old Man Media and was coconvener of Brew HaHa, one of Melbourne’s biggest comedy nights. He has previously performed in the Melbourne and Adelaide Fringe festivals and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Sweeney says the show is an absurd, sometimes pensive and punchy comedy attacking the big questions. “Alasdair is feeling the urgency to find success while simultaneously still trying to define what that means.” In Play Actually, Katy Houska and Tim Monely parody dating, relationships and the consequences of manipulating each other for

personal gain. “This show follows two tragicomic love stories and observes how destructive our fantasies of romance can sometimes be,” Sweeney says. The story follows the bizarre lives of a neurotic girl desperately dating in search of true love and a depressed children’s entertainer finding fulfilment in a virtual world. “It explores how our online lives enable us to delude ourselves and confronts the dating world that is rife with cunning tricksters and hopeless desperation — and yes, it’s all pretty funny.’’ Trying Hard will be at The Tuxedo Cat, 335 Flinders Lane, Melbourne, from Thursday to Tuesday and October 11-13 from 7.15pm (6.15pm on Sunday). Play Actually is at Bella Union Trades Hall from 8.30 each night, except Mondays, throughout the fringe festival (September 26-October 13).

Where the imagination takes over A quirky flight of fancy falters in the hands of an inexperienced writer. irectorial duo Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who delivered 2006’s runaway hit Little Miss Sunshine, return with the quirk factor amped up for their sophomore effort, Ruby Sparks. Paul Dano (pictured with Zoe Kazan), the grumpy teen brother in Little Miss Sunshine, plays introverted and neurotic author Calvin. He’s living off the proceeds of his successful debut novel, an instant American classic, but has suffered writer’s block ever since. Mooching around the house, leaving only for short strolls with his new pooch and to hit the gym with buff brother Harry (played with charm by Chris Messina), Calvin prefers staring absently at his dormant typewriter to forming real-world friendships. Then one enchanted night he dreams of a kooky vision in red hair, with a fun persona that’s a little too good to be true. Until, that is, he wills her into existence after being encouraged to write about her by his psychologist (Elliott Gould). First-time scribe Zoe Kazan, who also plays
D
RUBY SPARKS (M) Where: On general release When: From September 19 Preview: Stephen A Russell the eponymous Sparks, can’t quite sell what is a genuinely interesting flight of fancy. It’s telling that when Harry first reads his brother’s manuscript, he challenges Calvin’s unrealistic representation of women. So hamstrung, what we have for at least half the movie is predictably cheesy, tried-and-tested rom com fare. Things get more interesting as Calvin gradually exposes Ruby to the world, with enjoyably over-the-top cameos by Annette Benning and Antonio Banderas as his parents. Steve Coogan chews the scenery as Calvin’s drunk agent, and there’s a fantastic confrontation with his ex (played by Deborah Ann Woll). When the fledgling relationship starts to go stale, a clued-in Harry suggests Calvin rewrite
Ruby however he wants, and the film suddenly lurches into very dark territory. While far more interesting, it’s a violent jolt, and one that Kazan’s inexperienced scriptwriting fumbles. She
hasn’t the courage to follow through, either, with everything tied up neat and tidy by film’s close. Ruby Sparks is not terrible by any stretch, but it’s certainly no American classic.

Love a bargain? tuck in a wine rut? Is shiraz losing its allure or do you stick with sav blanc but would really like to try something else? Well, do I have a column for you. I’ve had a few friends ask me recently to recommend alternative wines to their regulars. The world of wine can be intimidating at times, and when you’re spending upwards of $20 on a bottle, it’s easy to play it safe rather than take a risk. Rather than recommend a few obscure grape varieties, there are plenty of mainstream ones that are similar to what you may default to every time you pour a glass. As a rule of thumb, wine can be categorised into distinct styles, crisp and light-bodied whites, medium-bodied textural whites, light-tomedium reds and medium-to-full-bodied reds. Crisp and light-bodied whites: Sauvignon blanc is the most popular white wine variety in the country, but if my sav-loving friends are any guide to its popularity, it won’t hold that mantle forever. They’re all looking for alternatives. Major retailers have evidence that
S
shows they’re not alone either. Their stats show that women in particular are switching from sav blanc to pinot grigio at a rapid rate. I reckon they’re missing a trick by moving straight to grigio, a wine that can be utterly refreshing and delicious but is also capable of true blandness. Closer to sav blanc in style, but with more complexity, are the highly aromatic grapes riesling and gewürztraminer. Albarino from the north of Spain and the Italian pair fiano and vermentino are also worth seeking. Medium-bodied textural whites: If you’re like me and keep reaching for the chardonnay, a white from France’s Rhône Valley or a barrelfermented pinot gris makes a nice change. Wines such as chardonnay and the Rhône triumvirate marsanne, roussanne and viognier are generally fermented and aged in oak barrels, which helps impart texture and fine tannins. Light-to-medium reds: I’ll agree that pinot noir is a wine you’re unlikely to ever tire of, but the vibrant gamay is a delicious alternative. It’s the grape in Beaujolais, a relatively inexpensive light red when compared with its pinot noir-
based neighbour in France, Burgundy. Always think cabernet sauvignon when you think red? Try it in a blend or reach for a straight merlot from time to time. Medium-to-full-bodied reds: Substitute grenache or mourvedre for a shiraz – or a blend of all three in a GSM – or a tempranillo-based wine from Spain’s Rioja region next time you’re thinking about shiraz. Rutherglen durif is also a good thing for those who like their shiraz from the bigger end of town. There’s another option, too. And that’s to stick with your favourite wines but look further afield. If Barossa shiraz is your poison, try a bottle from Bendigo or Heathcote – regions that will deliver the depth of flavour that you find in the Barossa. And, finally, now the days are getting longer and the weather warming, think pink. Dry, savoury rosé will be big again this summer as the rosé revolution in Australia goes from strength to strength. ■ To read more reviews, visit
★★★★ Toscar Monastrell 2011 (Alicante, Spain) $13.99; 13.5% I’ve reviewed previous vintages of this and it has been a favourite for a while. Like the previous vintages, this is dense, delicious and full of character. Plush aromas include plums, blackberries, cherry, spice, coal and a touch of dried herb. It’s smooth and savoury, with fine, powdery tannins and bright acidity. Light on its feet, bright fruit flavours of plum, cherry, and vanilla really push through to a persistent finish. Food match Paella Valenciana

HILARY McNEVIN EATING OUT large block stands vacant and derelict across the road from Petitou on Somerville Road in Kingsville. The mish-mash of graffitied buildings proves to be a sharp contrast to the pretty-as-a-picture cafe. Petitou has been here for a few years and clearly has the young-family market covered, as well as making room for adults needing some quiet time. It feels tiny as you walk in, with one communal table in the middle of the room and a bench across the front window with a handful of seats. Move through the deceivingly long building, however, and you’ll find the children’s room complete with toys, a doll’s house and tables and chairs for parents and carers. The room must
A
take some wear-and-tear but there is a freshness to the finish of the long space with bright white walls, pictures by local photographers for sale and retro touches. The menu is very user-friendly, focusing on good fresh sandwiches and jaffles. You’ll even find a jaffle special on the blackboard. On our visit it was homemade creamed corn, bacon and cheese ($7.50), or perhaps one filled with egg, cheese, spinach and tomato chutney ($7). Simple and very comforting. The panini selection is also worth checking out, one with bacon, spinach, tomato and mayonnaise ($7.50) is as fresh as the paint job on the walls and you’ll also find enormous homemade sausage rolls ($5.50 each) or a lentil and vegetable roll as a vegetarian option. The children have their own menu featuring banana
Temporary carers needed!
Playing with food: Small furniture, open spaces and a child-friendly menu makes Petitou an excellent place for a family treat. Picture: Scott McNaughton and honey jaffle ($5.50) or toasted cheese sandwich ($4.50) as well as small milkshakes ($2.50) just the right size for little hands. Petitou has a strong sense of community; it’s a hub with a noticeboard by the counter holding newsletters
on local events and classes. The service is straightforward and friendly and with other quality, nurturing places like it finding a place in this burgeoning area, I can’t imagine the vacant lot across the road will be empty for much longer.

She credits her success to the support of her parents. ‘‘My father worked in a factory and my mother was a piece worker (making clothes). They worked to achieve their goals of giving myself, sister and brothers a good education. Their example taught me to work hard to achieve my dreams.’’ Maria has future plans to help more children who have speech disorders. ‘‘The next step is to manage a successful practice which attracts other allied health services so families can access occupational therapy and psychology services alongside speech pathology, all in one place.’’ Maria says speech pathology is a rewarding career and a skills shortage in Melbourne’s western suburbs, means work would be plentiful.

know your job is worthwhile.’’ Maria works with children who have difficulties in the areas of speech sounds, stuttering, voice, language comprehension and expression. ‘‘Children present with difficulties for a number of reasons, including autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, language disorder or delay, hearing impairment and intellectual disability.’’ Maria assesses the expected communication level of a child’s age and works to reach their full potential. ‘‘I spend one-on-one time in a clinic seeing children with their parents. I assess children, and set relevant goals. Then we work through activities and home practice tasks to achieve goals. I also work in schools helping students with language needs.’’

Peugeot’s new direction New 208 is all about style, writes Ewan Kennedy t comes as no surprise that Peugeot’s new 208 is all about style. After all, the French and flair are synonymous. In an unusual move we will discuss the style of the 208’s interior before we get on to talk about its body. That’s because of a radical new shapes and ideas within the car. The first thing you will notice stepping into the Peugeot 208 is the tiny steering wheel, the sort of wheel you would expect to find in a sports car,
I
Miniature: Fascinating new interior design has a tiny steering wheel with a high-set instrument layout.
not in a family hatchback. The miniature wheel is there not to make a styling statement but to leave space above itself so the driver can view the highset instrument layout. The intention is that the driver takes their attention off the road for a minimum of time to scan the instruments, and thus increase road safety. Lower set, and in the centre of the car, a seveninch multifunction touch screen provides access to the satellite navigation and on-board audio systems. The latter comes complete with the usual inputs for music and telephone, but, interestingly no CD player. These instruments are set within a dashboard design that’s classy and finished to a high standard. The plastics have pleasingly soft finish and the minor controls not only look good but function in an easy-to-use manner. Peugeot 208’s all-new body comes in three and five-door format. However, the three-door isn’t simply a five-door with fewer openings; it takes quite a different approach to style. Thus the three-door has a real sporty appearance, while the five-door has a slightly less radical shape.
Different approach: Exterior view is dominated by what Peugeot calls a ‘floating’ grille. Peugeot was in the vanguard of the latest car ‘big-grille’ styling theme, with close to a decade since it first moved in what was considered a provocative new direction. Now Peugeot has left the others and set off in a new styling direction. While the Peugeot 208 still has a large grille the focus isn’t on the complete grille, but rather on the central section. This is raised in what Peugeot calls a ‘floating’ manner, leaving the
main segment of the grille in the background to frame rather than dominate the front. On the road we were able to sample the 1.2 and 1.6 engines. The 1.6 naturally aspirated probably has enough performance for most drivers, but interestingly our favourite was the little 1.2-litre three-cylinder. Prices start at $18,490, not including government or dealer delivery charges.

Czech out Skoda’s hot hatch Ewan Kennedy road tests the affordable Fabia RS koda has approached its return to Australia in a canny European manner. Rather than rushing in with bottom-end cars to gain quick sales and then trying to lift its image by aiming at the medium-premium segments, Skoda started at the top end. By doing so it has gained credibility and is now pushing down into the affordable car area. The result is that Skoda, now five years into its revival in Australia, has just sold its 10,000th car Down Under. It’s also quickly making its name in the affordable end of the hot-hatch scene with the great little Fabia RS as well as a five-door station wagon. Skodas use major mechanical components from Volkswagen — having been controlled by the giant German company since the early 1990s when the communist era ended in the Czech Republic — and the Fabia RS shares a Twincharger 1.4-litre petrol engine, transmissions and suspension with the Volkswagen Polo GTI. The two cars have quite different appearances,
S
with the Volkswagen leaning in a mildly conservative direction, while the Skoda has gone for a chunky out-of-the-ordinary look that we love. There’s a hint or two of the cheeky shapes favoured by the British Mini in the character lines of Czech Skoda. Our Skoda Fabia RS road test car came in yellow, which is a bold move in a conservative market like Australia. But, hey, this is a sporting model for the young and for the young at heart. We were most impressed with the hot little Fabia’s performance. The Fabia RS is a pocket rocket. It goes from zero to 100km/h in just 7.3 seconds. The Skoda Fabia RS is stable on all but the worst of Australia’s roads and feels really sound in hard cornering. The hottest Fabia is a great little hot hatch around town and a superb tourer for steep and winding roads where you can really get stuck into the corners. Prices start at $18,990, not including government or dealer delivery charges.
Sporting model: Hot little Skoda comes in bright colours that suit its outgoing nature.

Ready ...? Let’s play
Big ambitions: Steven Kretiuk will look to the next phase of his coaching career.
Picture: Michael Copp
Kretiuk, between jobs, reflects BY LANCE JENKINSON OUTGOING Western Jets coach Steven Kretiuk says more needs to be done to bridge the gap between the club and the TAC Cup in the western suburbs. Kretiuk will step down from the coaching post after five years in charge and says the biggest hurdle facing the Jets is a lack of preparedness of players entering the elite under-18 system. This stems from a win-at-all-costs mentality adopted by some local coaches in favour of player development through their formative years. Kretiuk says more resources need to be put into coach development in the west. ‘‘In terms of educating coaches in the western suburbs, I think there needs to be a fair bit done,’’ he told the Weekly. ‘‘What I see is, when the kids come into the Western Jets system they’re a fair way off where I think other kids from different areas are, not demographically, but in terms of the standard of the competition. We’ve got to try and cram a lot more into a short amount of time than what a lot
of other clubs do and that certainly has to be dealt with in future. ‘‘There has to be some sort of program in place because sometimes we focus too much on winning rather than development at the local level. ‘‘I know it’s hard when you come from a club environment, but the main focus should be on developing these guys to make them better footballers, but obviously you’ve got to find the balance there, too.’’ Kretiuk is an authoritative figure on football in the west. The 40-year-old started his playing career with St Albans in the Western Region Football League. The hard-nosed defender was recruited by Footscray/Western Bulldogs and went on to play 170 games at the top level. Kretiuk left the game as a player and returned as a coach, leading the Werribee reserves for two Victorian Football League seasons. An opening became available with the Jets when current Melbourne coach Mark Neeld was employed as an assistant coach at Collingwood and he jumped at the chance to guide the best young
players in the region. Kretiuk decided to stand down at the end of this TAC Cup season to look for opportunities at higher levels. ‘‘You generally know when it’s time to move on,’’ he says. ‘‘I’ve really enjoyed the philosophies of the competition and the club and everything involved with it. ‘‘I think it’s the right time because I need to keep challenging myself. I’ve got to the stage, I suppose now in the TAC Cup, where I have learnt as much as I could.’’ Kretiuk admits he’s playing ‘‘Russian roulette’’ with his career. What he didn’t want was undoing five years of hard work at the Jets by leaving them high and dry. ‘‘I thought I would do the right thing by the club and give them that opportunity to get someone else,’’ he said. ‘‘I’ve given myself a really good grounding in terms of what’s needed at the next level. ‘‘At the end of the day, it’s up to clubs to see that and give me the opportunity, so now I’ve got to wait and see.’’
John Barnes snared in coaching coup for Devils NORTH Footscray has appointed former Essendon and Geelong ruckman John Barnes as its senior coach in the Western Region Football League division 1. The Devils completed an exhaustive interview process which concluded with the 2000 AFL premiership star signing on the dotted line. Devils president Ashleigh Lewis is thrilled to have landed the man he feels can take the club to the next step in its top-flight existence and begin its rise up the ladder. Lewis revealed the high-profile signing to players and supporters last Wednesday. Barnes launched his AFL career in 1987,
featuring in 12 games for Essendon before crossing to Geelong. At the Cats, he was an integral part of a starstudded side that made it all the way to grand finals in 1994 and ’95. But Barnes would have to wait until 13 years into his career to taste the ultimate glory, when he returned to Essendon under the guidance of Kevin Sheedy and featured in the Bombers’ 2000 grand final win over Melbourne. He retired from the Bombers a year later after the 2001 grand final defeat to the Brisbane Lions. Barnes has given plenty back to local football since his retirement from the big league, coaching
both East Keilor and Doutta Stars in the Essendon District Football League. Stints as ruck coach at the Western Bulldogs and Collingwood have kept the 43-year-old connected with the AFL ranks. This is his first senior coaching position in the WRFL. Meanwhile, Deer Park has appointed former Essendon onballer Marc Bullen as its new playercoach. The 30-year-old played in a premiership with Maribyrnong Park in the Essendon District Football League. He played 44 games and kicked nine goals in the AFL.
A LONG hot summer of cricket is upon us with clubs working around the clock to put the finishing touches on preparations for the 2012-13 season. Footscray Edgewater will be on the road in the Premier Cricket season opener but doesn’t have to travel too far with a fierce contest with rivals Essendon on the cards at Windy Hill in a onedayer on Saturday. Barry Neivandt will again be at the helm of the Bulldogs, but top-order batsman Dean Russ has taken over from Travis Gloury as captain. In the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association, the south and the west groups will collide to form the south-west group this season. The curtain will rise on Saturday with a cracking local derby between Williamstown and Altona at the new-look Williamstown Cricket Ground. Sunshine and Werribee will go at it in another all-western suburbs affair at Dempster Park, while Yarraville will play host to Moorabbin in their first cross-group game of the season at the Yarraville Oval. In the Victorian Turf Cricket Association, Yarraville Club begins its senior division premiership defence when it hosts Hoppers Crossing at the Walker Oval. The two sides met in a thrilling semi-final at the same venue last season. Keilor will return to the top flight in a clash with long-time foe St Bernard’s Old Collegians at Keilor Recreation Reserve. Spotswood has to venture over the West Gate Bridge to face off with McKinnon at McKinnon Reserve.

Sporting glory will always be In our Western Region Football League junior grand final special, we list every player of every premiership-winning underage team for 2012. U18A: Hoppers Crossing 15.18 (108) d Altona 12.11 (83) HOPPERS Crossing rebounded from a shock early finals loss to exact revenge on Altona in the grand final by 25 points at Chirnside Park. The minor premier Warriors motored away after half-time with a six-goals-to-one third quarter and there was no stopping them. Michael Maglogiannis provided the spark with six goals, while Corey Muscat, Nick Jones and Brandon Donald were also prominent. The premiers: Brandon Donald, Nicholas Jones, David Barbieri, Taylor Quinn, Aaron Doughty, Michael Nozzolillo, Jackson Gray, Adam Poland, Joel Bentley, Jordan Cook, Joshua Furniss, Jayke Ewer, Jake Jeffrey, Alexander Chrysostomou, John Robinson, Benjamin Jago, Braden Ferrari, Liam Mcmahon, Jordan Moody, Blake Jago, Corey Muscat, Kyle Traynor, Mitchell Appleby, Matthew McGrath, Jack Dorgan, Michael Maglogiannis. U18B: Hoppers Crossing 14.15 (99) d Yarraville-Seddon 6.10 (46) Hoppers Crossing hardly put a foot wrong, keeping Yarraville-Seddon goalless to half-time and finishing with a comfortable 53-point win in the grand final at Chirnside Park. The Warriors
opened up a seven-goal advantage by the main break and the rest of the game was akin to junk time such was their early dominance. James Farrugia and Ryan Langford slammed home three goals apiece, while Steven Scolaro capped a best on ground performance with a goal. The premiers: Joshua Vella, Angus Holmes, Joshua Fenech, Lachlan Rule, Lachlan Furniss, Ashley Collins, Michael Scolaro, Mitchell Bourchier, Matthew Dowdle, Andrew Mifsud, Joshua Doyle, Jordan Hamilton, William Kakala Vea (Latu), Malcolm Petrie, Matthew Dettman, Andrew Moshoudis, Michael Hart, Steven Scolaro, Shane Wilson, Luke Henderson, Jordan Zarb, Adam Moscatiello, Jackson Redfern, James Farrugia, Ryan Langford. Youth girls: St Albans 10.14 (74) d Wyndhamvale 3.0 (18) St Albans underlined its status as the premier girls club in the west with a 56-point hammering of Wyndhamvale in the grand final at Holland Park. The Saints were slow out of the blocks, but owned the last three quarters as they piled on eight of the last nine goals of the match to win in a canter. Rhiannon Banner was the star of the show with six goals, while Brittany Bonnici, Madeline Keryk and Sharnah Catania played massive roles for their side. The premiers: Kirzty Brady, Tayla Zammit, Brittany Bonnici, Madeleine Burgess, Courtney Sivewright, Jacinta Ganino, Emily Brebner, Jes-

U16A: Williamstown Juniors 18.13 (121) d Werribee Districts 15.11 (101) The two best teams over the course of the season went head to head in an enthralling season decider. Williamstown Juniors kept their noses in front of Werribee Districts for most of the day en route to a 20-point victory at the Westbourne School Ground. Mitchell Parkinson stamped his authority with four goals, while Dali Sulejmani-Blackwell, Pele Manivong and Nick Ebinger added three apiece. Jacob Martin was best on ground. The premiers: Jacob Martin, Kai Harty, Darcy Schwarze, Jack Johnson, Timothy Purves, Bryson Ford, Brodie Meadows, Kyle Adams, Timothy Dimitriou, Jake Slee, Nicholas Van Schoten, Damon Tucker, Jack Warne, Thomas Hartson, Mathew Norton, Jake Micheli, Dylan Swann, Damon Falzon, Aaron Gibbs, Wayde Mcewan, Tyler Padgett, Nicholas Ebinger, Pele Manivong, Dali Sulejmani-Blackwell, Mitchell Parkinson.

pedal on their way to a massive 42 scoring shots to 12.Ali El Houli found his range with six goals, while there were four each to Spiros Amarantidis and best afield Lachlan Knight.

U16C North Footscray 8.12 (60) d Old Westbourne 8.3 (51) It is the toughest assignment in junior footy in the west: making a grand final and having to face Old Westbourne on their home track. North Footscray did just that and came away with a gritty come-from-behind nine-point win after trailing 21 to nil at quarter time. In a low scoring game, three goals to Brad Fava were crucial, while Josh Radalj, Aydin Dardha and Michael Sawan were so valuable. The premiers: Harry Murray, Imran Dardha, Aydin Dardha, Aaron Gauci, Jarryd Cheesley, Brendan Scott, Brock Renton-Anders, Vincent Newton, Deon Dardha, Ryan Lewis, Matthew Chatterton, Jackson Gnezda, Oliver Hill, Anthony Tran, Daniel Crosato, Braedon Running, Carlos Murcha, Tarrin Murphy, Michel Le Tellier, Joshua Radalj, Michael Sawan, Adrian Puopolo, Bradley Fava. U15A: Hoppers Crossing 10.13 (73) d St Bernard’s 7.10 (52) It was one of the most topsy turvy grand finals of 2012. St Bernard’s regained the advantage by threequarter-time, but Hoppers were too good in the last, running out 21-point winners at the Westbourne School ground after starring roles from Liam Henderson, Peter Maglogiannis and Rhys Keegan. The premiers: Lochlan McDonald, Rhys Keegan, Liam Henderson, Jackson Del-Re, Jacob Hynds, Joel Murphy, Yousef Mesto, Brayden May, Travis McConnell, Brennan Williams, Aidan Hibbert, Jarryd Langdon, Liam Hall, Jackson Gathercole, Brody Farrugia, Joel Urch, Nathan Williams, Riley Buckley, Connor Jago, Joshua Kurtis, Joel Radovanovic. U14A: Yarraville-Seddon 10.13 (73) d Hoppers Crossing 8.6 (54) Yarraville-Seddon was in total control from start to finish in a 19-point grand final win over Hoppers Crossing at Crofts Reserve. The Eagles had a vice-like grip over the Warriors, keeping the underdogs to two goals in the first half and containing their strong finish to win fairly comfortably. Thomas Webster was the X-factor for the Eagles with four goals in a best-afield display, while Matthew Madigan, Alex Bouris and Ben Wagland were not overawed by the big day. The premiers: Demitri Bolkas, Benjamin Wagland, Brandon Williams, Kevin Johnson, Tyler

U14B: Deer Park 14.7 (91) d Caroline Springs 6.9 (45) Deer Park were nervous starters, but once they got rid of the initial butterflies, they would put Caroline Springs to the sword in a 46-point grand final win at Crofts Reserve. Tyson Maiava had a game to remember with three goals and best afield honours, while Jacob Azzopardi, Mark Galea, Matthew Boyle and Jaydan Unwin booted two each. The premiers: Sam Bonnici, Robbie Plese, Luke Warden, Corey Krstevski, Johhny Foti, Matthew Muscari, Rhys Candido, Michael Palmer, Michael Parsons, Cody Davies, Troy O’Shea, Michael Gorgievski, Jarrod Fox, Amar El Nour, Nathan Nelson, Michael Angelo, Umeed Tawfi, Jahmon Perese, Haries Ismail, Jarryd Domotor, James Harrison , James Clohesy, Jacob Azzopardi, Mark Galea, Matthew Boyle, Jaydan Unwin, Tyson Maiava. U14C: Albion 15.11 (101) d Newport Power 13.9 (87) For an hour, this grand final was a real arm wrestle, then it turned into a shoot-out. It took one of the great quarters of the year — 10 goals to nil in the third — for Albion gain the upper hand over Newport Power at the Westbourne School Ground. Albion held on by 14 points, led by seven-goal star Brandyn Di Sisto and three each to Stephen Syme and Remi Havard.

The Seagulls held the Tigers goal-less in the first term, stretched their lead out to 29 at half-time and victory was never in doubt.

U13B: Old Westbourne 6.7 (43) d Werribee

The Snowdogs held the Seagulls scoreless for three quarters, before the Gulls mounted a late fightback to lose by 24 points. Lachlan Gollant was the only multiple goalkicker needed for the triumphant Snowdogs, as the dominance of Lachlan Farrell, Daniel Torcia and Lachlan Sholl was too much for the Seagulls to handle.

U12C: North Footscray 8.14 (62) d St Bernard’s 2.9 (21) It was a real grind of a grand final for three quarters with both North Footscray and St Bernard’s experiencing a case of the goalkicking yips on the most important morning of the season. The Devils had the edge because of their two goals to nil opening term, but heading into the last it was still anyones game.

U11A: Werribee Districts 6.10 (46) d Point Cook 3.1 (19) Point Cook was left to rue the one that got away.

The premiers: Jake Bainbridge, Anthony Fountis, Peter Tomelty, Kyeton Russell, Ethan Mullenger, Mitchell Jennings, Joel Millard, Addison Urquhart, Tyla Box, Aidan Biber, Bradley Florence, Josh Ierardo, Mitchell Hogan, James Muliett, Zein Almatrah, Steven Naaman, Muhammad Awal, Liam Micallef, Alexander Correia, Michael Szulc, Jacsen Jewell, Jett Mathews, Jarrod Stephens, Michael Casale.
