‘Black spot’ pollution fears lost in a bureaucratic black hole BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK URGENT national attention is needed to monitor the health of residents in and around Brooklyn, a Senate inquiry into air quality will be told. Residents surrounding Victoria’s worst pollution black spot are at risk of allergic reactions, asthma attacks, breathing problems and heart conditions, according to Hobsons Bay Council. Its submission to the inquiry states that the main source of pollution is the ‘Brooklyn triangle’, bounded by Kororoit Creek and Somerville and

Geelong roads. Residents next worst off are those in Altona North, Laverton, South Kingsville and Newport. The submission states that while EPA Victoria had done short-term airmonitoring in Brooklyn and Sunshine West, it failed to include this airquality data in its monitoring report to the Commonwealth. ‘‘For this reason,’’ the submission states, ‘‘the impacts on health for those people — that is, Brooklyn and surrounding residents considered most at risk, and the causes that put those populations at risk — are not currently given the urgent attention that is

‘‘. . . the causes that put those populations at risk are not currently given the urgent attention that is required.’’ required at a national or state level.’’ The council accuses the Department of Health of contradicting its own heatwave response guidelines by forcing Brooklyn residents indoors with windows closed on high-dust days. Residents were made to stay inside for

38 days in 2009-10 and 16 days in 2010-11. The department’s heatwave advice is also at odds with its warning to residents to avoid outdoor activity, rigorous exercise and time outside. ‘‘Several primary schools and childcare centres are situated within the dust-affected area,’’ the submission states. ‘‘Not all rooms are airconditioned. Recess and lunch times fall within the high-dust times.’’ The department has advised residents to go on a treatment plan if symptoms appear and ‘‘if symptoms do not settle, seek medical advice’’.

Brooklyn feral goats nothing to kid about effort may go to waste.’’ Greg Bain, of Melbourne Water, said the feral goats were prolific grazers and could cause significant damage to waterways by trampling soil and contributing to erosion. ‘‘Melbourne Water and the Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek have planted thousands of trees and shrubs along the creek, which are now being destroyed,’’ he said. Melbourne Water and Brimbank Council say they will have a management plan in place by Friday.

ABOUT 30 goats are on the rampage in Brooklyn, destroying trees along Kororoit Creek and intimidating people on the Federation Trail bike and pedestrian path. Four goats sighted at Christmas are believed to have escaped from a local paddock or nearby abattoir. Recent sightings indicate the herd has grown to about 30. Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek member Len Towerzey said the animals were eating their way through 1200 trees planted last year by his environmental group. ‘‘We’re trying to re-green the creek. It takes a lot of volunteer labour to get all the trees planted and we’re concerned all that

Hotel demolition over to VCAT

SARAH HARRIS QUE SERA

BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK

OR a time in the late ’70s our family made its home on a bluff overlooking Guam’s Tumon Bay. Back then, the Micronesian island was the No.1 destination for Japanese honeymooners, who flocked there on Western-style white wedding packages. From the hotels below, many couples espied the perfect vantage for wedding photographs and beat a path through the tropical undergrowth to summit on our front lawn. There, the pretty little brides and their camera-slung grooms would politely await until they caught someone’s attention to “please, photo”. In the autumn of ’79 I took dozens of photos of bridal couples poised like happy birds between sea and sky and — as a dubious return courtesy — they took dozens of me. A photograph of the photographer was an unspoken part of the deal. I imagined the presence of my lumpy teen self in the newlyweds’ albums being explained to bemused relatives from Akita to Yamaguchi. “. . and this is the fat girl at the top of the cliff who takes photographs”. Travelling along the Great Ocean Road last week I noticed couples of all walks stopped at lookouts taking their own photographs in that peculiar heads-tight-together-one-armoutstretched pose of the phone camera. With some sadness I realised the random helpful stranger who appeared in albums the world over had become redundant — the curled up corner of a memory, like the ghosts on a polaroid left too long in the sun. But behind the shoji screens and across the tatami mats, the plump girl at the top of the cliff lives on.

A DEVELOPER planning to build a high-rise development at Williamstown has lashed out at Hobsons Bay Council after it rejected an application to demolish one of Victoria’s most historic hotels. Evolve Development managing director Ashley Williams said he would appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to reverse the council’s refusal to allow the demolition of the Oriental Hotel. The demolition of Williamstown’s secondoldest building and possibly the state’s first threestorey brick hotel, circa 1854, would pave the way for a six-storey, 83-dwelling apartment block. The council also refused an application for a four-storey, 51-dwelling development next door. Evolve’s final development of the entire Port Phillip Woollen Mill site could add 2000 people to Williamstown’s population. ‘‘Hobsons Bay Council has yet again failed to show leadership in supporting the implementation of planning applications that are supported by the planning scheme and . . . its own planning officers, and has made decisions that respond to political and emotive pressures,’’ Mr Williams said. Emotions ran high at last Thursday’s special planning committee meeting of the council, where some of the 220 objectors to the Oriental’s demolition and high-rise development pleaded with councillors to protect their community. Many said decisions should be adjourned until a risk assessment was done, given the development site fell within a 300-metre safety buffer from Mobil’s tank farm supplying half Victoria’s fuel. Ann Street resident Ralph Humphries feared residents would be unable to evacuate from the peninsula in the event of ‘‘another Coode Island,’’ referring to a 1991 chemical explosion caused by lightning which ignited 8.5 million litres of chemicals. ‘‘As far as the Oriental is concerned, I came to Williamstown because, like the signs outside say, ‘This is an historic seaport’. And if we start wrecking all the historical buildings in the place,

Residents said the proposed development had insufficient parking, noting that many local

spaces were taken by 1000 workers at Williamstown’s largest employer, the BAE shipyard opposite the development site. Others said there was a lack of school places for children and the Williamstown train line had more service replacement buses than any other Melbourne line. Save Williamstown spokesman Godfrey Moase urged mayor Angela Altair and councillors Paul Morgan and Colleen Gates to make a decision consistent with the community’s values. ‘‘That is why we’ve entrusted you with this position of leadership within this community . . . all I urge you to do is step up to that role that you’ve taken and protect this community and protect your legacy as leaders of this very unique place because once you’ve made this decision, there is no going back.’’

Crash corner gets upgraded A notorious Hobsons Bay intersection has received traffic upgrades after a series of drivers ran red lights and endangered pedestrians. Western suburbs Liberal MP Bernie Finn said more prominent traffic lights, flashing pedestrian lights and guards would improve safety at the corner of Millers and Blackshaws roads. In the five years up to June 30 last year, there were eight casualty crashes at the intersection, four resulting in serious injuries.

Rubbish bins will be installed at nine Hobsons Bay fishing spots after a pelican injured on a hook at Cherry Lake died late last year. The aim is to stop birds getting caught in nets, hooks and plastic. Hobsons Bay’s works and assets director, Phillip McDonald, said the injured pelican was taken to a vet where it was found to have emphysema and hypothermia and was destroyed.

Police are appealing for witnesses who saw a fivecar collision on the Princes Freeway at Laverton North last week. The incident occurred between Fitzgerald Road and the Kororoit Creek Road overpass about 6am on Friday. Police believe a vehicle changed lanes and collided with another car, causing it to spin out of control before it was hit by a third vehicle. A prime mover and trailer were then involved in the collision. Police are trying to identify the driver and type of vehicle which changed lanes. Minor damage was caused to three cars, but no injuries were reported. Information to Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au

it’s a combination of all those.’’ Ambulance Victoria group manager Tony Elliott would not confirm how long the patient waited or the reasons for the delay. ‘‘Ambulance Victoria was requested to attend a conference venue in Altona for a man who had been assaulted and was intoxicated,’’ he wrote in a statement. ‘‘At that time there were a num-

ber of cases in the area. ‘‘When someone calls us for help, we’d like to be able to send an ambulance immediately. Sometimes this just isn’t possible and we understand that it can be concerning for those waiting. ‘‘We send the closest ambulances to the sickest patients first.’’ Asked repeatedly to confirm how long the Altona North patient waited, an Ambulance Victoria spokesman said: ‘‘All the information I’ve given you is all the information I can give you.’’ Opposition health spokesman and Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said it was ‘‘extraordinary’’ that Ambulance Victoria would not provide the community with basic information. ‘‘We will be seeking an investigation into what led to this extraordinarily inadequate ambulance response, with the Minister for

CALLS have been made for an investigation after a bashing victim with a fractured eye socket and nose waited nearly two hours for an ambulance at Altona North. Ambulance Victoria has come under fire for refusing to say how long the patient waited and for stating in its official response the victim was intoxicated. About 10.30pm on February 17, Altona North police called an ambulance for a 25-year-old man who had been assaulted at a music festival. After waiting 105 minutes, officers reportedly were so frustrated they considered driving the victim to Footscray’s Western Hospital in their police vehicle. Under state guidelines, an ambulance should arrive within 25 minutes for a code 2 emergency. Ambulance Employees Australia state secretary Steve McGhie said: ‘‘It’s just not good enough for someone with facial fractures — and, in particular, after a request from the police — that he had to wait an hour and three quarters before an ambulance arrives. ‘‘Clearly in a situation like this there weren’t enough available ambulances to do the job and, firstly, we’ve got to find out the reasons why there weren’t enough available ambulances. ‘‘They either didn’t have the ambulances staffed and didn’t have enough, or they were busy on other jobs or they were ramped up at hospitals. But I’d hazard a guess

Williamstown and all the surrounding communities won’t get a say.’’ Government spokesman Mark Lee said the port expansion needed to be fasttracked so new terminals could be operating in 2016. ‘‘The PoMC will continue to engage with residents and stakeholders to focus on project amenity and buffer zones.’’ Williamstown MP Wade Noonan criticised the government for not mandating world’s best-practice guidelines in the design to minimise impact on the environment and community. ‘‘This decision is typical of a government that has no interest in engaging with our local community — they couldn’t care less.’’ PoMC chief executive Stephen Bradford said: ‘‘While the planning regime has changed, the commitment to stakeholder involvement and achievement of the best possible design outcomes through a genuine consultation remains the same.’’

CONCERNS have been raised after the state government last week announced the $1.6 billion Webb Dock expansion would be fast-tracked. As reported by the Weekly, Williamstown residents opposing the port expansion are forming an alliance to fight ‘‘political vandalism,’’ saying their city views will be replaced by a 1.8-kilometre line of container ships, giant cranes and containers stacks. Hobsons Bay mayor Angela Altair said: ‘‘The council is disappointed that the amendment allows for containers to be stacked between six and eight containers high. ‘‘I hope the council will continue its close working relationship with Port of Melbourne Corporation to ensure issues of noise, light spill, traffic management and visual amenity can be suitably addressed.’’ Williamstown resident Denis Weily said residents had been overridden. ‘‘I see it as a shortcircuit,’’ he said. ‘‘Once again, the residents of

Diversity on rise as crowd puts game through hoops BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK ONE of Williamstown’s oldest and most conservative clubs recorded the biggest crowd in its 87-year history as part of this year’s Midsumma gay and lesbian festival. But some of the 160-strong crowd at Williamstown Croquet Club’s ‘Perfect Midsumma afternoon’ were wondering, ‘‘Where are all the queers?’’ Club president Adrian MastermanSmith — who has been with partner and Australian Croquet Association national director of schools coaching Lowen Clarke for more than 20 years — said the croquet event took sport into a more diverse community. ‘‘Instead of the old days when it was that group over there, now it’s ‘us group, us family’. ‘‘All the family and the friends and the extended family of the queer community — which when you think

[ALT]

‘‘It takes it out from just that insular community to being all about family in the broadest sense of the word.’’ — Adrian Masterman-Smith about it, takes it from 8 or 9 per cent out to maybe 25 per cent — would be able to identify with someone who’s gay or lesbian or even queer-identified. ‘‘It takes it out from just that insular community to being all about family in the broadest sense of the word.’’ GOWEST, which this year organised 18 Midsumma events across Hobsons Bay, Brimbank, Maribyrnong and Wyndham, said crowds had almost doubled from last year. Mr Masterman-Smith said more councils would come on board next year, with plans to hold an evening

cocktail event at Brunswick Malletsports Club. Mr Masterman-Smith, who is on Hobsons Bay’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer advisory committee, said a thriving queer community was a sign of a healthy mainstream community. ‘‘A number of years ago, a research paper said that you can use the queer community as a barometer of the health of your community. ‘‘So, if you have a queer community that’s thriving — there’s a bar or a club or they meet and there are activities in your municipality — what you’re sending out in the way of signals is that your municipality is supportive; it’s a great place to be. ‘‘If you’re a corporate organisation looking to site your new offices, come to Hobsons Bay because the queer community is doing well; ergo your educated staff will fit right in.’’

Polly prodigies confer BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK YOUTH parliament gives young people their voice back, says Williamstown resident and Victoria’s new youth governor Olly Tripodi. Since its inception 27 years ago, the youth parliament has had more than 25 of its bills enacted in law, including drug testing for drivers and over-the-counter availability of the ‘morning after pill’. For three days in July, 120 young people will take over the Spring Street chamber to debate proposed legislation that will then be handed on to the relevant minister. Mr Tripodi said 16-25 year-olds were, for the most part, underrepresented in decision-making. ‘‘It is a demographic that’s engaged: they’re intelligent, they’re eloquent, they’ve got informed beliefs. But they can’t vote,’’ the 20-year-old said. ‘‘. . . I think they’re frustrated that a vast majority of politicians are over the age of 30 or 40 and

A better break for battlers Stand up: Victoria’s youth governor Olly Tripodi will lead the state’s youth in Parliament House. perhaps that youth issues aren’t represented as well as they should be. So, youth parliament gives them their voice back.’’ Mr Tripodi said issues important to young people included mental health, public

transport infrastructure and financial support while studying. ■Applications for this year’s youth parliament close March 29. Details: victoria.ymca.org.au/ youthparliament

WYNBAY Power players like Leroy Alexander (pictured) are fine-tuning their skills in preparation for their first match in the RecLink Football League. The team, made up of Wyndham and Hobsons Bay residents, began training at Werribee’s Soldiers Reserve last Wednesday. Coach Scott Sutton, a youth resource officer at Altona North police, said the team was working with the Western Bulldogs to prepare for the coming season.

He said many players were unemployed or had dropped out of school, while others were homeless or had been in trouble with police. ‘‘The main benefit of the team is that it gives them a sense of belonging,’’ Leading Senior Constable Sutton said. Training is at Soldiers Reserve, College Road, Werribee, every Wednesday until April 17, with new players welcome. More details: Rhonda on 0412 971 954

WESTERN suburbs patients remain in limbo despite the federal government’s backflip over funding cuts. Last month, the Weekly reported the $107 million in cuts statewide had forced 1300 elective surgery cancellations at Footscray, Sunshine and Williamstown hospitals. Western Health chief executive Alex Cockram welcomed last week’s reversal of the $6.46 million cuts to the west but warned there might still be an adverse impact. “Over the course of the next week or more, we would expect to receive clarification from the federal government and be able to make firmer decisions about what the announcement will mean for patients and services,’’ she said. A war of words between the state and federal governments erupted last week, with Premier Ted Baillieu criticising the reinstatement as an interim measure to fix

cuts that never should have happened. But Prime Minister Julia Gillard, in a letter to the Premier, was scathing of the state’s handling of health and its own deep budget cuts. Western suburbs Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury said the federal government must reverse the further $368 million in cuts slated for beyond June 30. “The Federal Labour Government needs to end the uncertainty for hospital staff and patients and commit to reinstating all of the money that was promised to the Victorian health system.” Gellibrand MP Nicola Roxon said the reinstated funding would bypass the state government and go directly to Western Health. “The Baillieu government’s incompetence and mismanagement has proven time and again that they can’t be trusted,” she said. “I call on Mr Baillieu to restore the $616 million of cuts, which means providing $37.07 million to Western Health.”

The volunteers from the opp shop, including Vera’s daughter Dawn, last year raised $80,000 which went to painting wards and installing blinds to improve patients’ privacy. Western Health chief executive Alex Cockram hosted an afternoon tea last week to say thank you. “The time and effort the volunteers give is amazing and very much appreciated, not only by staff at Western Health but the wider Williamstown community.”

Scales show weight loss dreams come true BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK

Mind over matter: Heather Richards starts her virtual therapy with Valda Smith.

Picture: Michael Copp

IS it really possible to believe you have had lap band surgery without going under the knife? The Weekly decided to visit a Newport hypnotherapist to test her claims of virtual gastric banding. Hypnotherapist Heather Richards, of CaS Therapy, says many of her clients believe they have had a band placed around their stomach and physically can’t eat as much. ‘‘A lot of people, when they come out of the session, feel like they’re regurgitating because it’s like the band on the top of their stomach. Some people feel a bit funny for a couple of days. ‘‘Your imagination wins every time.’’ She leads me to a chair as we prepare to go into virtual theatre. ‘‘Basically, we’re accessing your subconscious

mind, so close your eyes and we guide you into a dream state,’’ Ms Richards said. ‘‘Sometimes you remember it, sometimes you don’t.’’ Unlike a woman I read about who said she could even feel the imaginary anaesthetic being administered, as we begin the journey I am aware that I’m not really on a gurney being wheeled down a hospital corridor. But much to my surprise, as I pass a room with an older patient who looks like me and has obesity-related problems, I get upset at the thought of leaving my family behind. So upset I fear I will cry, but I can’t, because I’ve been been told my eyes are locked. When I emerge, I felt as though the positive messages planted in my subconscious have finally sunk in. Since that day just over two weeks ago, my eating habits

have been markedly healthier and, much to my surprise, weight has been falling off. Former client Valda Smith, who has type 2 diabetes, says she was about to follow the lead of her sister and daughter who had both undergone lap band surgery. Ms Smith, 76, opted for hypnosis after her doctor told her an operation would be too dangerous. ‘‘I lost 22 kilograms from November to March and I kept it off. ‘‘My sister had the [surgical] banding — she had the operation, and so did my daughter, and they get the same feeling as I do. If they eat too much they might throw up or they get indigestion. ‘‘For me, it’s been wonderful. But, you know, it’s the power of the mind, it’s like everything. If you want it bad enough, it works for you.’’

COVERSTORY

Back to his roots Vasili Kanidiadis is one of community television’s greatest success stories. The passionate gardener took some rare time out to speak with Eugene Benson about his return to where it all began

G

ardening was always going to rule Vasili Kanidiadis’s life — it’s in his blood. His early exposure to backyard vegie growing left a lasting impression and despite stints in engineering and even classical piano, it is the simple beauty of home grown produce where his passion lies. Kanidiadis is something of a household name these days thanks to his cult television show Vasili’s Garden, which started broadcasting on Channel 31 in 2003 and later moved to SBS in 2007. At its height, the show was attracting more than 400,000 viewers a week, almost unheard of for such a low budget show on a community station. The show will return to it roots on Channel 31, (broadcast on Digital Channel 44) on March 6. Flamboyant, cheerful and with a piano accordion in-tow, the basic formula for Vasili’s Garden has been for Kanidiadis and his camera crew to visit mostly migrant families across Australia and tell the story behind the establishment and success of their vegie garden. The aim is to celebrate home-grown food and show how even the smallest backyard, patio or side gardem can be used to grow fresh, healthy produce. By the show’s conclusion the crew and garden owners usually wind up eating and drinking the produce grown in the garden and Kanidiadis provides the entertainment with his beloved piano accordion. Before you know it cast, crew and gardener’s are arm in arm dancing to Zorba as the credits roll. Kanidiadis reckon’s it’s all pretty basic and a lot of fun. ‘‘It’s about simple people who love to garden, and yes many are migrants with little formal education, but the wealth of knowledge they possess in practical gardening is far greater than any school education can ever offer you. ‘‘This knowledge has been handed down to them

from past generations, from their parents and grandparents who in their time had to garden to survive with simple methods, using simple equipment and in the end achieving a very healthy and sustainable lifestyle.’’ Exceedingly proud of his own migrant heritage, Kanidiadis believes the show has also struck a chord because it play’s an important role at keeping traditions alive. ‘‘A lot of people of my generation actually didn’t stay in touch with the traditional practices, they got on with the new life in Australia,’’ he says. ‘‘But now there is a bit of a resurgence in some younger people, that next generation. So many people we feature on the show are that generation older than me, so I think it’s important to keep these methods and traditions alive.’’

The son of Greek migrants, Kanidiadis was born in Coburg but moved to Keilor Park at the age of 6. After not truly embracing a career in engineering, in 1993 he opened a plant and garden store back in his old stomping ground of Coburg. Word soon spread about ‘the Greek guy with all the great fruit and vege advice’, and Kanidiadis was approached by a friend who worked at 3XY multicultural radio to participate in a talkback gardening show. The show proved a huge success and profitable for the station. It was on the back of the radio show’s high ratings Kanidiadis was invited to try his luck on television. Still somewhat surprised at his rise to fame, he believes much of his show builds on the adventures he had with his father as a child. ‘‘My earliest memories of gardening were at the age of six or seven,’’ he recalls. ‘‘Each day my father would pick me up from school and drive past our old property in Coburg where we used to live. He had the house demolished and had it turned into a huge vegetable garden.

‘‘Every day we would go there and harvest the freshly ripe produce. My dad would always have a couple of village style bread rolls with him and some feta cheese, we would break open the bread and fill it with a bit of everything picked from the garden then go and sit under the old lemon tree to enjoy the afternoon feast.’’ As well as moving to SBS in 2007, Kanidiadis has appeared on the ABC and had a couple of spots on Channel 10, a newspaper column and still has a weekly spot on 3AW and SBS radio. His new series promises to stick to the old formula, albeit with some new additions. ‘‘It will have a whole new line up of guests and new presenters,’’ Kanidiadis says. ‘‘The show is being grown out to one hour of gardening and cooking tips and advice, along with crazy guests.’’ Kanidiadis says it’s the people of Melbourne, and of course the people from all parts of Australia, who continue to inspire him. ‘‘Most importantly it’s the migrant generation, our parents, grandparents, friends and neighbours who grew up gardening purely to survive. It’s their stories and gardening and cooking secrets that I want to explore and share.’’ It’s not lost on Kanidiadis that while it might be in vogue for inner suburban trendies to be get involved in community gardens or start their own herb patch, many migrant families have been doing just that without the fuss for generations. ‘‘It’s a way of life that more and more people of today are turning to, and yes we are proud to say that Vasili’s Garden has been a strong influence towards this healthy change. As my father and grandfather would say, ‘It’s about growing it yourself’, knowing where it grew and how it was grown, with nothing short of tender loving care given to every seed germinated, every plant propegated and every tree grafted.’’I Kanidiadis’s new show screens on March 6 at 7.30pm on Digital 44

OLD AND NEW FACES While there are too many to mention, Vasili Kanidiadis believe’s some of the characters and odd but effective gardening techniques he has come across filming the show will stay with him for life. There is John the singing gardener in Thomastown, who has a ridiculous amount of water storage containers through his garden, and Effie of Glenroy who feeds her plants aspirin and always has a bumper crop even through winter. Another favourite is Cosimo of Coburg, the meticulously organised and fastidiously clean gardener who grows some of the best and biggest vegies in town. In the show’s new incarnation Kanidiadis will be joined by a horticulturist called Jason who will share seasonal gardening tips on flowering and productive plants, advice on propagating, seed harvesting, repotting and plant protection. He’ll be joined by energetic teenager Eleni, who will share her passion for fresh produce and their health benefits; Lisa, an elite athlete will discuss the basics of keeping fit and avoiding injuries while gardening. SBS identity Mamma Eleni will demonstrate traditional cooking methods and secret recipes, while new mum Jana will show natural methods and simple remedies to look after new borns and toddlers.

The reinstatement of the first $107 million in federal health funding is a welcome first step, but Prime Minister Julia Gillard needs to commit to reversing the further $368 million in cuts that are slated for June 30. The move is evidence that the Gillard government knew all along that these cuts were unwarranted and would hurt Victorians. This announcement highlights the shameful actions of Labor’s Martin Pakula and Khalil Eideh and the Greens’ Colleen Hartland, who voted against the Coalition’s motion in Parliament which expressed its concern at cuts to the Commonwealth government’s share of health funding.

Swampy’s just an old dog at heart BY BENJAMIN MILLAR FOOTSCRAY, Australia – it has its good sides, and its bad, but it’s mine.” And so we are introduced to Swampy, the fictitious, homeless star of a four-part internet TV series filmed in and around Footscray. Launching this Friday, Swampy’s World was created and produced by West Footscray comic and actor Ross Daniels and musician and videographer Leo Dale. Dale says Old Swampy, a homeless man of wit and wisdom, can get away with things not everyone could. “As a homeless man he has a licence to observe what is going on and to say things how they are.”

Swampy has a lifelong, almost manic love for the Western Bulldogs. Decades of premiership drought and memories of better days occasionally take their toll until fate steps in. Dale first discovered Swampy as a character in a stage show by Daniels and saw the potential for the character to grow. “Ross had a number of characters, but Swampy is the one that really resonated with me, the one who has the ability to really get through to you,” he says. “In history there is this character of the wise tramp — we saw it with Charlie Chaplin — who happens to have insight and a perception of life.” Dale enjoyed working with Daniels on the series and is pleased with the result. But rather than seeing it as the end of a project, he suspects it may be just a beginning. “This is the genesis of Swampy.”

Seddon illusionist Michael Boyd is taking his latest mind-boggling show to Crown on Saturday. Combining illusion, levitation, transformation and disappearances, Mystique features a troupe of showgirls, jaw-dropping escapes, special effects and spellbinding acts of magic. Boyd (pictured, casting his spell) has travelled the world with his show and regularly appears in Las Vegas, where he works with the team behind David Copperfield’s shows. “Mystique is a child’s dream that comes to life with many twists and turns,” he said. “I’ve performed all over the world, but rarely in my own backyard. I’m really looking forward to mesmerising Melbourne.” Tickets: 132 849 or ticketek.com.au

Feminine mystique

THE tale of a student’s efforts to expose the hypocrisy of his school is being brought to the stage by a creative western suburbs team. The Joy of Text, set in a high school, traces the story of Danny, a bright but awkward kid genius, played by Colin Craig (pictured). When a controversial book falls into his hands, he plots to expose the school system’s hypocrisy by emulating its scenario – an inappropriate teacher/student relationship. Producer Rikki-Lee Butinar says the actors, including Kingsville’s Kasia Kaczmarek, make the most of writer Robert Reid’s fast-paced and witty dialogue. “While on the surface the narrative is a simple scenario of how a student’s revenge against a teacher causes controversy within the system, The Joy of Text ultimately delves deeper, examining bigger questions of morality and truth in language.’’ The production’s filmscape was designed by filmmaker Isaac Mitchell-Frey, who recently graduated from Williamstown High School. ‘‘We did a lot of filming at Williamstown High as well. The kids there were a wonder to work with,’’ Butinar said. Sound was designed by West Footscray’s

Joyful juniors: Elise Sawell, Beatrice Esposto, Ella Taylor, Laura Drossos, Eliza Green, Kiara Knauer and Oenone Sawell are part of the U14 and U11 Yarraville Glory football teams.

Musical favourite: Ross Hannaford & the Critters is a headline act at Saturday’s bank-sponsored Seddon Festival. Visit seddonmusic.com

All Seddon done, you can bank on fun BY CAROLE LEVY elium balloons and popcorn will be the order of the day for the Seddon Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank this Saturday as it takes part in the Seddon Festival, a feast of music and other family-friendly activities. Branch manager Graham Evans says the bank is a major sponsor of the festival and is keen to get behind the unifying local event. ‘‘We’ve contributed financially towards the festival, but we’ve also provided logistical help.

H

‘‘One of our team, Linda Woods, has been a key driver of the festival with her work on the committee. We’ve been happy to give her time off from her regular role at the bank to devote to the festival’s organisation — and it’s been very rewarding,’’ Evans says. ‘‘The festival’s aim of bringing together the community marries wonderfully with our philosophy of community giving. We’ll have a marquee outside the branch, with team members handing out helium balloons, and the Yarraville Special Developmental School crew will be with us providing popcorn for a gold coin donation.’’

The bank is always busy keeping tabs on and meeting needs within the area. The Yarraville Glory Football Club recently received a three-year sponsorship package for its junior program, and club board director Adam Sawell couldn’t be happier. ‘‘Our juniors now sport the bank’s name on their shirts and we’ve also received financial assistance. This has given the team a sense of stability. We see this as an important partnership because our club shares the bank’s commitment to community participation,’’ Sawell says. ‘‘The bank’s actions have also given impetus to many

other local businesses coming on board to support us. And, in the process, our guys are learning the importance of giving back as well.’’ The bank, which to date has given about $135,000 back to the community, has many irons in the fire — never more literally than its donation of a portable anvil and forge to the Waterside Metal Art Workers. This is a group dedicated to retaining blacksmithing skills, working out of a shed on the banks of the Maribyrnong below the Footscray Arts Centre. Go to watersidemetalart.org for information on an exciting blacksmiths’ festival next month.

Best foot forward F inding appropriate footwear for people who have suffered an injury through a workplace or other accident can sometimes prove a challenge but, with the help of Clare, Frank, and Peta from Extra Depth Footwear @ Happy Feet Pedorthics, this need no longer be a concern. The pedorthists — specialists in medical-grade footwear including the fitting of orthotics and other devices — also cater to people with large and wide feet. Clare says they are part of the allied health team assessing and fitting people with pedorthic footwear. ‘‘People come to us because they know they want shoes to fit their feet. We aim to match the ‘want’ with shoes that provide more comfort, safety and mobility. We also repair, modify and make shoes,’’ she says. ‘‘Some people come to us looking for quality footwear, but most come because they need shoes to fit correctly. We’re even able to fit up to size 15 length and 14E width — and if we don’t have a shoe in stock, we can make them.’’ Although the specialists make shoes, only a very small percentage of clients need custom made shoes.

Perfect fit: Peta Newey fits a customer while Katie Ezard looks on.

But Clare says they’ve made shoes for people with post-polio syndrome, club foot, Charcot deformity, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, amputations and post-tibial dysfunction. ‘‘We regularly fit people with arthritis, bunions, plantar fasciitis, difficult toes, diabetes and other chronic conditions, and we also fit compression socks and stockings. We constantly speak with other health professionals to give clients the optimum health outcome.’’ The cost of specialist footwear needn’t necessarily be a concern. Clare says Department of Veterans’ Affairs gold card holders may be eligible for medical grade footwear, and some people have extras in their health insurance and may be eligible for a refund on medical footwear. ‘‘The team is also able to assist people to know about and access funding sources for medical footwear to improve their foot health.’’ Extra Depth Footwear @ Happy Feet Pedorthics, at 5/134 Pascoe Vale Road, Moonee Ponds, opens 9am-5pm MondaysFridays or by appointment.

Top of the classics Move in and enjoy this delightful home with heritage features, writes Tegan Forder

hile this classic block-fronted Victorian built in the 1900s will impress with its heritage features, the unexpected size is also a drawcard. Set on a 445-metre-square block, the house sits prettily next to similar houses behind a white and heritage green picket fence and verandah fretwork, with cottage-style flowering shrubs and brick paths. The house was expertly extended about 10 years ago by a local builder. With the decor already complete with features walls and period-style finishings, the new owners won’t have to worry about a thing. Features include polished wooden floorboards, ceiling rosettes and stacked cornices throughout. A cosy sitting room (or bedroom) has a fireplace with a beautiful wooden mantelpiece. The main bedroom has maroon walls, a fitted walk-in wardrobe, and an en suite with tessellated maroon and cream tiles, and wooden vanity.

W

A wide hallway leads to two further bedrooms both with fireplaces, and they share a bathroom with large bath and sea-blue tiles. A leadlight door separates these rooms from another bedroom (or study) with mustard walls and a laundry with copious cupboard and external access. The open-plan living hub extension has the same height ceilings as the original half of the building. The kitchen has cream cabinetry and a Bosch oven, stove top and dishwasher. Pale yellow walls give the meals and family areas a cheery feel while ample windows and white-painted french doors allow in lots of natural light. A large sunny north-facing backyard includes a large undercover decked area and a second brick-paved sitting area on ground level. Established trees, garden beds and a small shed take up the rest of the space but the area could be re-landscaped to fit a vegie patch or even a pool. There is also a possible right-of-way from the lane behind.

104 John Street, Williamstown Bedrooms: 4 Bathrooms: 2 Living areas: Study, lounge, family-meals The rest: Polished floorboards, ceiling rosettes, fireplaces, split-systems, hydronic heating, decked undercover entertainment area, possible right-of-way Price: $1 million-$1.1 million Auction: Saturday at 2pm Open for inspection: Saturday at 1.30pm Agent: Sweeney Estate Agents Williamstown, 9399 9111

Reinventing the Commodore IT’S two years late, but the new VF Holden Commodore is finally on its way. Blame the GFC and the near bankruptcy of General Motors in 2008 for the hold-up; many GM plans were put on hold and the budget for the VF Commodore was severely slashed. Holden Commodore (and Ford Falcon) sales slowed dramatically as their styling became increasingly out of date, and the buyer surge towards SUVs in place of large cars didn’t help either. That may all be about to change. I’ve just stepped out of the top secret Holden design studios in Melbourne after an advance look at the new VF Commodore.

European look: Holden’s new VF Commodore has striking lines.

We were very pleased to see that the Commodore design hasn’t suffered from the delay and that the Holden is bang up to date in the latest automotive styling trends. There’s a distinctly upmarket European shape to the VF Commodore inside and out. Look at the complex shaping of the bonnet with its Jaguar-like curves and lines, then at the stylised BMW-like shape of the rear end. The interior is the big story in the new VF Commodore. Whereas the exterior is the result of a major facelift that sees the doors and roof unchanged, everything inside is new. Again there’s a strong European influence; a combination of an Alfa Romeo-like binnacle and layout of the major instruments, and Audilike infotainment screen.

Honda adds 2WD to CR-V range Derek Ogden and Ewan Kennedy road test the new-generation SUV onda CR-V, the fourth generation of the compact sport utility vehicle that 17 years ago helped define the soft-roader segment, now comes in two-wheel or four-wheel-drive variants. Prices start with the base model 2WD sixspeed manual VTi at just over $27,000, while the top 4WD VTi-L five-speed automatic rounds out the range at $42,000-plus. Previously we considered the Honda CR-V was overpriced for a plain ‘meat and three veg’ taste of compact SUV living. Thanks as much as anything to a crowded market, that is a thing of the past, with the latest CR-Vs dishing up tasty features at competitive prices. Over the space of 10 days we experienced a broad span of CR-V models, spending time with the entry-level 2WD in five-speed automatic guise and the top-dog 4WD VTI-L five-speed auto with steering wheel-mounted paddle shift. The designers and engineers have worked hard on Honda’s theme of ‘bigger on the inside, smaller on the outside’. At 22mm shorter and

H

30mm lower than its predecessor, the flat front makes a bold statement with its three-slat radiator grille and big Honda ‘H’. A sedan-style profile is augmented by large wheel arches spanning 17- or 18-inch wheels Inside, the cabin is designed to give a feeling of openness. With the two front seats further apart than before, there is more shoulder room. Occupants are further spoilt by a new level of cabin quietness thanks to engine and road noise being kept at bay by improved sound insulation. Noise from neither engine on offer – the 2.0-litre or 2.4-litre i-VTEC – is intrusive. Efficiency is the name of the game here with combined urban/highway fuel consumption put at 7.7 litres per 100 kilometres and 8.7 litres per 100 kilometres respectively. Ride and handling are up there with the best in class, both with comfort and stability that are almost sedan-style. The new CR-V, even in base model 2WD manual form, is accessory rich. Satellite navigation and DVD are factory fitted options.

Bold bid: The new Honda CR-V comes with more radical styling than its predecessors.

Hot Opels hit Australia German car maker is turning heads, writes Ewan Kennedy erman car maker Opel has only been in Australia since September 2012 and in its early days seems to be struggling to be noticed by local buyers. But the newest edition to the local Opel family is likely to change all that. OPC (Opel Performance Centre) is the Opel equivalent of our own HSV organisation — and Holden Special Vehicles is certainly one of the best-known automotive names in this country. Opel and Holden are, of course, both divisions

of the giant General Motors organisation. The Opel OPC that’s undoubtedly going to make the biggest impression on Australian eyes is the Astra coupe. We spent several hours in it on a rainy Sydney during the drive program for the official media launch. There’s little doubt that we brightened up the day for many others caught in the same traffic jams. Eyes of drivers, passengers and pedestrians alike swivelled as the shapely German coupe met their gaze. Astra OPC is powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine developing 206kW of power and 400Nm of torque. There’s far more to this OPC than simply the brilliant body styling and drivetrain. It has brakes, suspension and seating to match. Heavy-duty track work at Sydney Motorsport Park showed the hot German coupe to have huge amounts of grip and to be simple to chuck around. Great fun. But wait, there’s more. OPC modifies a whole range of vehicles. Being imported to Australia in this first batch of hot Opels are a Corsa OPC. Finally comes the Opel Insignia OPC. The fas-

Home grown: Sitting at the head of the OPC tree is the Insignia V6. Interestingly, it has a Holden-built engine. cinating thing about the Insignia is that its 2.8-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine is built in Australia; it’s then shipped Europe to be incorporated into the OPC. Insignia performed pretty well during our track testing. Developing 240 kW of power and 435 Newton metres of torque, the V6 drives through all four wheels.

We have extensively tested both the Astra and Insignia variants and came away impressed not only with their high-performance credentials but also the way their suspensions remained supple and their tyres reasonably quiet on rough and ready back roads. Steering is precise and fast and provides excellent feedback. Prices start at $28,990, not including government or dealer delivery charges.
