Laneways Hobsons Bay City Council has allocated $100,000 in the 2012-2013 Budget to commence a program to rehabilitate local laneways which have previously been constructed and are listed on the Council’s Road Register. The Council is aware of the condition of several constructed laneways in Williamstown and has compiled a list of 11 laneways in order of priority. The first priority is Rogers Lane, which will be repaired over two financial years due to the significant cost involved in reconstructing the laneway. The Council will undertake basic maintenance of the remaining constructed laneways, such as repairing pot holes. Under the Road Management Act, the Council is not responsible for roads and lanes that are unmade, such as those providing rear access to properties. The responsibility for maintenance lies with abutting owners. For more information, contact the Council on 9932 1000.

OUR COVER: Youth worker Les Twentyman sees a very different side to life on our streets. Story: 10-11 Picture: Scott McNaughton

Moving forward is awesome as very couple of years a word or phrase comes along that gets its grappling hooks into the public lexicon and climbs to the pinnacle of inanity. For example, the use of the word “amazing” to describe things which are patently not is such a pet peeve that it recently topped the 37th official list of words that should be banned. Given that the list of “Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness” is compiled by American academics, it’s probably pretty safe to assume Australians are somewhat behind in our abuse of amazing. Here we seem to be stuck with the very-2007 default of “awesome”. Shepherding a young high-profile professional on a recent photo shoot, everything was apparently breathtakingly, heart-stoppingly, outof-this-world fabulous. The toilets to the left. “Awesome”. The photographer’s just arrived. “Awesome”. We reached a conversational zenith when I offered her a cup of coffee. “That would be really awesome”. True, “awesome” is not as bad as the ’90s fixation with “closure” — a therapy goal initially prescribed for people suffering from profound trauma and violent loss which became the musthave mantra for everything from failed relationships to business deals. And it’s nowhere near as toe-curling as passionate. It seems everyone has a Miss World-kind-ofpassion these days. Given it’s a word which implies pain and suffering, if not a certain hotheadedness and/or sexual desire, it’s slightly alarming to hear people profess a “real passion for account management” or to be “passionate about service delivery”. Personally, I prefer my professionals competent, capable and awe-struck as infrequently as possible. Now, about moving forward . . .

Drivers ignore warning of car stranded in floodwaters POLICE have expressed disappointment that even after a driver became trapped in a flooded Altona creek on Saturday, other motorists continued trying to cross. A man was rescued from the roof of his car just after 8.10pm after floodwaters had swamped him in Kororoit Creek. Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokesman Glen

INBRIEF Robber wields knife A Williamstown RSL Club staff member was held up at knifepoint last Thursday night. A balaclava-clad bandit entered the Melbourne Road premises about 7pm and approached the staff member demanding cash. The bandit placed an amount of cash in a black bag and fled on foot. No one was injured. The robber is about 20, of thin build and was wearing a black balaclava, dark grey hoodie, and gloves. Information: Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000

Library opens The new $7.8 million Williamstown library opens its doors to the public at noon tomorrow. The state-of-theart library includes a family and local history room, landscaped area, outdoor deck and cafe. It was designed by Sally Draper and Mitsouri Architects and built by local company Devco Constructions.

attached to his rope, and the occupant walked out with him,’’ Mr Thompson said. The stretch of road has a history of similar incidents when the creek overflows from heavy rainfall. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the rescued man was not injured and was taken to a relative’s house nearby.

Hobsons Bay’s Inspector Bill Mathers said the man’s predicament didn’t deter other motorists. ‘‘Police are disappointed that even after this event, other drivers tried to cross the flooded roadway. We need to use some common sense. If your car is a four-wheel-drive, it doesn’t mean it’s capable of going through deep water on flooded roads.’’ — Nick Toscano and Goya Dmytryshchak

Verdict a win for the generations BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK A WEEK after the High Court’s decision to uphold the world’s first plain packaging laws for cigarettes, Australia’s first female Attorney-General Nicola Roxon is back in her Gellibrand electorate opening a Newport primary school’s new learning spaces. Sacred Heart Primary School used $2.25 million of federal government Building the Education Revolution funding to develop a new library learning centre and grade 5 and 6 learning areas. Taking on Big Tobacco in the form of four of the world’s biggest cigarette makers was something Ms Roxon did mainly for children not yet addicted to cigarettes and for those who had lost a loved one to smoking-related cancer. When she was 10, Ms Roxon’s father died from oesophageal cancer. Jack Roxon was a smoker. From December 1, all cigarettes will be sold in olivegreen packs without trademarks and with larger health warning graphics. Last week’s legal victory was ‘‘a rare one of those moments where the success is very satisfying,’’ Ms Roxon said in an interview with the Weekly. ‘‘Of course, if it means that some families don’t lose a family member too early then that’s suffering that I would be happy to have helped prevent.’’ But banning tobacco altogether is not something the government is looking at. ‘‘I think if it was a new product we were discovering now but we knew everything about tobacco that we now know, it would be banned,’’ Ms Roxon said. ‘‘But when you live in a free democratic country

Gardening celebrity Vasili Kanidiadis will visit Altona North Bunnings from 10.30am-noon on Saturday.

Thompson said the man had tried to drive across the creek in Racecourse Road, but heavy rainfall meant water was higher than usual. The driver climbed on to the car’s roof before fire crews, police and paramedics arrived at 8.10pm. ‘‘A firefighter waded into the creek with a rope around his waist with another firefighter

Plain speaking: Nicola Roxon has described the victory over Big Tobacco as ‘‘a rare one of those moments where the success is very satisfying’’.

would always write back and say that might be something your generation should pursue. ‘‘This has been a very big fight to get to this stage, but I think it might be something that future generations will take on and good luck to them.’’ Ms Roxon said new research showed that of the current smokers, 80 per cent became addicted before age 19. ‘‘I think the main aim is that we try to stop people getting addicted to start with so we’re trying to take away any extra reason that a young person, in particular, might take up smoking. ‘‘We don’t want the packet to be attractive to young girls. We don’t want the macho imagery that might attract young men. ‘‘We don’t want people to think that some of the colours suggest that some types of cigarettes are lighter or may be better for you.’’ The battle is not over yet, with Australia now facing a World Trade Organisation challenge over its law from Dominican Republic, Honduras and Ukraine. ‘‘It’s clear that this is a very controversial decision in Ukraine, a country we have virtually no trade with,’’ Ms Roxon said. ‘‘The three countries that have so far expressed an interest are small countries with no particular trade relationship with Australia.’’ The Australian Retailers Association expects the plain-packaging move will cost the industry $500 million in lost productivity. Association spokesman Russel Zimmerman said transaction times would blow out because cigarette packets would look almost identical. He said the new laws ‘‘simply make things difficult’’ for retailers. — With Nick Toscano

too many people. I went down to the second one and same deal. I watched a guy with an artificial leg get on the fourth bus — he was really lucky. ‘‘I almost managed to get on No.5 and I got shoved out of the way. ‘‘When seven and eight turned up, I couldn’t get on. ‘‘Then I gave up and went home. I’d been at the bus stop for an hour by that point and I thought, this is nuts. ‘‘An elderly lady got shoved against a wall. ‘‘I’m only temporarily disabled — boy, has it been an eye-opening experience.’’ Metro spokesman Daniel Hoare said there was no requirement for staff to assist by requesting other customers to vacate any seat on a bus for a person with specific needs. ‘‘When a customer with specific needs requires a taxi, it is organised by Metro staff and, in this case, the cost is borne by the regional rail link project,’’ he said. ‘‘There were two incidents [on August 12] where customers in wheelchairs did not board buses and a taxi was offered.’’ Mr Hoare said customer service staff were not qualified to determine the level of disability of commuters. Rather, they arranged alternative transport when asked to assist. Ms Hartland said Metro was running a train service and if it ran replacement buses then it ‘‘must be able to manage people with a disability’’.

Plaque added to Allem’s legacy

We remember: Dina Halkic (front), with her son Allem’s friends, at the plaque site. Picture: Cathy Jackson

A REMEMBRANCE plaque for Altona Meadows teenager Allem Halkic is expected to be erected in his home suburb by September 8 — the date that would have marked his 21st birthday. Allem was 17 when he leapt from the West Gate Bridge on February 5, 2009, after enduring cyber bullying in silence. Following his death, his parents, Ali and Dina Halkic, successfully launched a landmark prosecution of cyber-bullying offences and a coronial inquest into their only son’s death, among other numerous anti-bullying and suicide-awareness initiatives. Mr Halkic said the plaque was planned for the corner of Queen and Merton streets, where Allem used to wait for a bus. ‘‘What we’re trying to do is remember that Allem was a part of the community and after his death many changes actually occurred, from the securing of the West Gate Bridge, from the awareness . . . three and a half years ago people didn’t understand what was going on,’’ Mr Halkic said. “I think when all the kids commute out there they can sort of stop and reflect and understand the dangers of bullying. I think this is a way that’s going to remind people forever. “It’s a reminder of the suffering that he had to go through and I think if it triggers people to look at what happened to Allem and understand it, I think that the long-term prospect, it’s going to definitely help and probably save lives down the track.’’ Ms Halkic said she hoped the plaque would also raise awareness about the dangers of social media. ‘‘Losing Allem, who was our only child, is something that we live and struggle with each day. We’ve set out to bring awareness to this cancer that is taking so many young lives.’’ Anyone with problems may call Lifeline on 131 114 or Suicide Helpline on 1300 651 251.

‘‘I can’t get to the city from here and it is blatant discrimination by Metro.’ — Annaliese Bishop

G4793212AK-a21Mar©FCNVIC

AN ALTONA woman who is classified by her surgeon as ‘‘partially disabled’’ after undergoing a shoulder reconstruction says Metro staff refused to help as she unsuccessfully tried for an hour to board overcrowded replacement buses at Sunshine station. Metro retorted that ‘‘buses by definition cannot be overcrowded because they have a maximum capacity’’. Western Metropolitan Greens Colleen Hartland will next week raise the matter in State Parliament. Annaliese Bishop caught the 903 bus from Altona to Sunshine about 10am on August 12. She arrived at Sunshine to find trains to Footscray had been replaced by buses. In an anguished Facebook message on the day, Ms Bishop stated: ‘‘I have been trying, as a temporary disabled person, to get a rail replacement bus from Sunshine to the city, but they are all packed. ‘‘I can’t stand up, there’s no seats, and the Metro customer service guy won’t help me get on, nor will any of the other four people they have standing around supposedly to help customers. Nor will the bus drivers. ‘‘I can’t get to the city from here and it is blatant discrimination by Metro.’’ According to Metro, two buses were departing Sunshine at 20-minute intervals, followed by a bus departing nine minutes later. Ms Bishop, who recently underwent surgery after tearing two tendons ‘‘almost off the bone’’, told the Weekly she tried to get on eight buses before giving up and returning to Altona. ‘‘I tried to get on the first one and it was chockas. I couldn’t get on, there were just

Flash of insight saving lives BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK A WILLIAMSTOWN doctor is helping raise awareness of a little-known disease killing the ‘‘poorest of the poor’’ in central Africa. Peter Zammit, together with other parishioners at Christchurch Newport, has formed a group called The Konzo Project to support Dr Howard Bradbury’s fight against Konzo disease. Konzo is a sudden paralysis that occurs in people, particularly children and young mothers, whose diet consists mainly of cassava, a crop from which flour and porridge are made and which contains a natural form of cyanide. Dr Bradbury, an emeritus fellow of Australian National University, has spent 20 years researching and developing means to prevent the disease, which has affected an estimated 100,000 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo alone. Dr Zammit said a simple technique known as the wetting method — mixing cassava flour with water and spreading it out to dry for several hours — allowed the cyanide to bubble off. ‘‘It’s such a simple thing to do and it reduces risk of this disease, which affects the poorest of the poor,’’ he said. ‘‘It cost $25,000

to do the trial in the village that they did.’’ Dr Zammit said he became involved after having a sudden realisation in 2010. ‘‘It was Christmas time and on the news they were talking about how Australia was going to spend $20 billion or something on Gucci handbags and designer jeans for the Boxing Day sales and I was thinking, you know, what an injustice. ‘‘For such a small amount of money the villages of Africa could stop their kids getting sick and the consequences of that sickness, too — the paralysis, the unemployment, or some can’t walk — and just the devastation that a disability is in a developing country. ‘‘And it could be prevented so easily. That’s sort of what moves me. I think it’s an easy solution. ‘‘Let’s see what we can do to help Howard raise some more money to prevent it in more villages. I worked out that if every man, woman and child who lives in Hobsons Bay or visits for business or something gave $10, we’d probably raise $1 million and that would Konzo-proof about 40 villages.’’ For more information, email peter.zammit@bigpond.com

Hobsons Bay City Council has completed the draft JT Gray Reserve master plan, which sets out new changerooms, social facilities and sports fields for the reserve on Kororoit Creek Road. The proposed master plan was developed in consultation with representatives from the resident sporting clubs, including Williamstown Congregationals Cricket Club, St John’s Cricket Club, Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association, Williamstown Soccer Club, Barnstoneworth United Junior Soccer Club and Barnstoneworth United Soccer Club. I invite community members to have their say on the draft master plan. Copies are available at JT Gray Reserve, Hobsons Bay Civic Centre, Altona North and Newport Libraries and at www. hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au Feedback is required by Friday, 7th September and can be submitted to the Council’s Recreation Department on 9932 1000 or at recadmin@hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au In other news, the Council, together with the Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development, the Hon Wendy Lovell MP, will turn the first sod to mark the start of construction for the Newport Gardens Early Years’ Centre on Tuesday, 4th September. The new early years’ facility will feature long day care, kindergarten, maternal child health, Yooralla’s Early Intervention Service, Hobsons Bay Toy Library and playgroups. The centre will be unique as it is located on the Newport Gardens Primary School site in Woods Street, providing families with services from birth to school age. It will open in early 2014. This project is jointly funded through capital and infrastructure grants from the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development and will meet the needs of Hobsons Bay families, particularly with new childcare reforms.

Don’t mess with Orlando, now one of us BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK PRO-WRESTLING’S first openly bisexual wrestler has opened the first training school run by a pro in Australia — right here in Melbourne’s west. Hailing from Florida, WWE Smackdown and former Impact Wrestling superstar Orlando Jordan on Monday launched his WildKat ProWrestling Training Centre at Brooklyn. The one-time US champion in World Wrestling Entertainment made one unforgettable wrestling debut wearing little more than yellow ‘‘Do not cross’’ caution tape, descending from the ceiling and writhing in the ring to Dale Oliver’s soundtrack of Simply the Greatest. With lyrics: ‘‘The women love me and the guys want to get with me.’’ But behind Jordan’s 1.93-metre frame of intimidating muscle lies a man who has struggled to get to the top. Jordan hopes his battle against prejudice will carve an easier path for others. He says it’s a shame his preferences are such a big deal. ‘‘It sure as hell doesn’t dictate my abilities in and outside the ring. ‘‘As a matter of fact, it’s just the opposite. Anybody who’s ever seen me perform in the ring,

Standing strong: Orlando Jordan says there’s no question about his ability in the ring. when it comes to my ability, that’s not in question. ‘‘In life, in general, I think it’s important that we be who we are. ‘‘One of the reasons I’ve always been very open

about my preference is because I believe that people should be who they are. ‘‘I’ve met younger girls and younger guys who may have questioned who they are and I think that me being open helps that, especially as some-

one who’s in the public eye. I understand what they go through and they can relate to someone like me in that sense because I understand a lot of the prejudice they may come through and some of the hard things they may deal with.’’ Jordan, who also runs pro-wrestling centres in the US, will be a hands-on trainer at Brooklyn. He says the local wrestling industry ‘‘isn’t where it should be’’ and he hopes to elevate it. ‘‘I love it out here in Australia, so I thought it would be a good thing to bring what I know to the industry in Australia and see what I could do to help it grow and bring a part that I’m used to at the level that I’m used to being at. ‘‘And of course this happens over time. ‘‘This will be the first Australian school with someone who has actually had a career in professional wrestling. ‘‘I’ve heard a lot of rumours that people have said this is something that I’m not going to be around for but, trust me, I’m gonna be here and I’m going to be very active in everything I do, in the ring and outside the ring to help build the industry here in Australia. ‘‘. . . It was pretty gruelling in the industry coming up, but that’s been my whole life anyway. ‘‘Nothing’s ever come easy for me.’’

Apology to Norman ‘came too late’

Summit’s ‘tidal wave of issues’

SHUNNED for his involvement in the black power salute at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Australian sprinter Peter Norman has received a posthumous apology from the Australian Parliament. Norman died at his Williamstown home on October 3, 2006, aged 64. The champion sprinter was this week praised for his athletic ability and his courage in standing in solidarity with US athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos as they gave a black power salute during a medal ceremony. Norman, who had won silver, wore an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge. It’s a widely held belief that Norman was punished for his civil rights stance by being shut out of the 1972 Munich Games despite qualifying. He quit his sport in protest. Smith and Carlos gave eulogies and were pallbearers at Norman’s funeral at Williamtown Town Hall on October 9, 2006. Carlos told ABC Radio yesterday that the apology came too late. ‘‘I don’t think he was as bitter as he was hurt . . . and I don’t think he ever recovered.’’ More than 40 years on, Norman’s time of 20.06 seconds in the 200-metre sprint remains an Australian record.

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM POLICE, youth workers and educators have vowed to take a united approach to helping troubled young people in the west following a youth violence summit organised last Tuesday by Footscray-based youth worker Les Twentyman. The summit, ‘Keeping kids in the classroom and out of the courtroom’, was organised in response to what Mr Twentyman called “the growing rate of youth violence” gripping Melbourne’s west. Senior police, educators, students and migrant leaders attended the meeting. Detective Superintendent Pat Boyle said gang violence had reached unprecedented levels, and he urged the community to work together to tackle the issue. “Police can’t do it alone. We need teachers, the government and youth workers to work together on this.” He said there were proven links between truancy and youth gang violence. “Teachers need to be aware of what a gang presence looks like in the school environment and how to intervene.” Braybrook African community leader Abeselom Nega told the summit hundreds of troubled youths had sought help from youth education group iEmpower in the past year. As

the organisation’s chief executive, he said migrants and refugees were particularly vulnerable. “Our target group is mainly migrants and refugees, many of African background who may be discriminated against or disadvantaged due to poverty and learning difficulties.” Mr Nega wants a strategy in place so youth workers can work in schools and guide students on alternative pathways. He called on police to take a proactive approach and educate troubled youth about the legal and justice system, rather than inflicting harsh punishment. iEmpower youth worker Marian Ali said many

teenagers had already lost hope by the time they were referred to the centre. “It’s devastating to see young people, many with so much potential, struggle to fit into the community.” Mr Twentyman said youth in the west were dealing with a ‘‘tidal wave of issues’’, and he urged the state government, police and senior educators to step in. He called for alternative education centres to be established for troubled youth to keep them engaged through specialised learning. “For many disadvantaged kids, life is like treading water or just waiting to drown.’’ ■ Life on the streets: pages 10-11

LIFE ON THE STREETS

W

HEN discussing his job and his life, two things very much entwined, it’s hard to get a short answer from social worker and community activist Les Twentyman. You get the impression he’s seen too much to keep things brief. To explain the problems and disadvantages in Melbourne’s west, Twentyman tends not to spout a quick statistic like a politician might. Instead he’ll tell you a story. There’s the one about catching a glimpse of cigarette burns and bruises on a pupil’s arms when he started work as a primary teacher. He says this, and the pupil’s reluctance to talk about how it happened, is what drove him out of the classroom and into youth work. Volunteering for the Sunshine Lions Club one Christmas morning in the early ’80s, delivering toys to needy families is another story.

[ 10 ] WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE

Given a list of houses to deliver presents to in Braybrook, his home suburb, Twentyman says he entered a house just around the corner from his own and found three children sharing the same filthy bed. There were no parents to be seen, no food anywhere and just a couple of bottles of beer in the fridge. ‘‘That was when I thought, shit, I’ve been here all my life, been walking past this house, but had no idea what was beyond those walls.’’ Since 1984 when he took a job as an outreach worker with Sunshine City Council, Twentyman has been the face of western-suburbs social work. With an approach to social work that has always seen Twentyman more at home working with kids on the street rather than talking about it with other social workers over coffee, he has a detailed knowledge of disadvantage in the west. As an activist Twentyman’s dual focus has always been working to end youth

Les Twentyman is fighting for the western suburbs and the kids who live in them, trying to make sure they have the same chances in life as Eugene Benson reports.

You’ve got kids taking weapons to primary schools. I don’t think people have any idea what it’s like out here.

violence in the west and giving school-age kids greater access to youth workers. This has seem him in a never-ending campaign with local, state and federal governments seeking funding for education, art and sports programs - anything to keep youths engaged and off the street. Twentyman admits the challenges now are more complex than when he started, but believes investing in schools and targeting children at primary age has always been central to finding answers. After Jeff Kennett’s Liberal state government amalgamated councils and put community services out to tender, Twentyman lost his position with the council’s youth services team and started with Open Family, where he worked closely with Father Bob Maguire to help run a youth refuge house. Drawn back to the west in 2009, Twentyman left and started his own organisation, the 20th Man Fund, which now has two office spaces and 12 staff based in Footscray, but with reach across the west and into Flemington. More than 150 homeless people use the 20th Man office as their postal address. His small but dedicated staff work with numerous agencies to co-ordinate dozens of community building programs for youths, have

established a basketball league for refugees, run a young leaders’ program and surf trips for kids who have never seen a beach, have a back-to-school program for expelled students, and are in preliminary discussions with Maribyrnong Council about turning abandoned factories into alternative school sites. The 20th Man office in Maddern Square, Footscray, also provides an office space for a GP that sees more than 1200 heroin dependent patients each month. Twentyman’s profile and willingness to lobby governments for action in the west has led him to run as an independent candidate for the Legislative Council in 1992 and 1996, and in 2008 he ran in the Kororoit byelection, finishing second to Labor after the distribution of preferences. While unlikely ever to win against Labor in its heartland, Twentyman says taking part was a way of putting western suburbs issues into the political spotlight. As recently as last month, Twentyman took federal Homelessness Minister Brendan O’Connor on a tour of the inner west to highlight the growing issue of homelessness. In April he convinced Premier Ted Baillieu to take the tour. ‘‘I think the area gets forgotten, so I have to get these people out here to see it for themselves.’’

Twentyman believes gang violence is at an alltime high and split along ethnic lines. To demonstrate his point he takes me to a laneway in Braybrook behind a shopping strip where his family once had a fruit shop. Decorated with the tags and slogans of a local gang, the lane is also the setting for another story. This one is about an Islander gang from Sunshine and a baseball bat attack. ‘‘Eighty per cent of the things that go on with violence go unreported. I hear of things all the time but never see anything about it in the paper. ‘‘There’s a lot of racism too. It used to be everyone being down on the Asians. Now it’s more the Africans — it’s all based on ignorance. ‘‘You’ve got teachers at local schools who feel as though they’ve been parachuted into a war zone. You’ve got kids taking weapons to primary schools. I don’t think people have any idea what it’s like out here. ‘‘That is why we need youth workers at every primary school. You’ve got to get in and make a difference before they are too far the other way and drop out of school.’’ Twentyman says there are Arab and Aussie gangs, Asian gangs in St Albans, Africans in Footscray, Islanders in Sunshine and gangs divided into postcodes.

Even considering his detailed understanding of the area’s problems, underlying all of Twentyman’s work is an affection for the west. ‘‘Despite it all I love the area. Fellow Braybrook boy Doug Hawkins and I go around Australia talking to people all the time and we are very proud that we come from Braybrook. ‘‘I probably wouldn’t have the image I do if I was a youth worker from Brighton. ‘‘The thing is it doesn’t have to be this bad — if we could just get some resources. We want to function like the rest of bloody Melbourne. ‘‘It’s only going to happen when we lobby for services and jobs and that sort of stuff. ‘‘I want the 20th Man Fund to have a youth worker in every Victorian school, to set up some community schools and keep kids in classrooms and out of courtrooms. So I’ll keep going on to whoever is in government to achieve that. ‘‘Creating jobs is also crucial. That’s a major difference to the problems in my day — violence used to settle down after the weekend because on Monday everyone would go back to work. ‘‘Today 56.7 per cent of kids aged 15-19 are unemployed.’’

From anguish to teaching BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK IT WAS two alarming events that spurred Altona author Dean Mason to write about the grief and trauma of divorce. On May 13 last year, ex-SAS soldier Michael Fox climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge to protest against being denied access to his children after separation. Four days later, Paul Rogers murdered his estranged fiance and her friend at Robina on the Gold Coast, before killing his five year-old daughter and himself. Titled Daddy’s OK: Fathers’ stories of separation and divorce, Mr Mason’s book tells the true stories of 14 men affected by divorce. Mr Mason, who divorced 15 years ago, says life is ‘‘good now’’. He found the best way to deal with his ‘‘personal anguish’’ was to help others, so about eight years ago he started volunteering with Dads in Distress Support Services. ‘‘The best way I can describe it, it’s a

to live my life and there’s a lot of support around me to live my life and I will. And when she delivers that news, the guy says, ‘What are you talking about, I thought we were happy’.’’ Mr Mason, who has three adult children from his first marriage and a stepson with his wife, said a fifth of Australia’s five-million children under 17 lived with only one natural parent, and in 80 per cent of cases it was with the mother. ‘‘In the work I do in the community, I’m so conscious of the anguish that people are experiencing that’s not being listened to.’’ For confidential 24-hour support, ring MensLine on 1300 789 978.

trauma, like a serious accident or losing a loved one,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s absolutely grieving. ‘‘What the professionals say about trauma is that we’ve got three instinctive responses: that’s to fight, or we run (so that’s flight), and the third one that’s not often talked about is to freeze. That’s where emotionally you just shut down. You just don’t let anyone in because it’s too painful. ‘‘See, as blokes, we’re brought up to be tough, to be out there . . . just get on with it. ‘‘So when you go through this emotional stuff, you’ve got no tools to ‘get on with it’. ‘‘Many women say — because about 70-80 per cent of the splitting is initiated by the woman — that often they’ve been trying for a couple of years to get through to this guy because there are issues that need to be addressed. ‘‘And after a couple of years she says, that’s it, I’ve had enough, I can’t bash my head against a brick wall, I can’t get through to you so I just have

ACTORIES and open fields, burning rubbish tips and the winding river . . . the Footscray of Michael Leunig’s childhood has come a long way in some respects, but it’s always been a suburb of contrasts. There’s an air of nostalgic whimsy in the cartoonist’s voice as he describes his childhood by the banks of the Maribyrnong. It’s the same quality that pervades his instantly recognisable cartoons. “It was a working-class area with a real consciousness of itself as that,” he says of the 1950s Footscray. “There were a lot of factories, a lot of people working in them and a lot of really bad smells from the tanneries.” It was a very down-to-earth community as well, he adds, and it was already undergoing a post-war transition from an Anglo-Saxon and AngloCeltic culture to one reflecting a much broader mix brought about by migration. Leunig says the area has always kept

a strong community spirit. He felt it during his schooling at Maribyrnong High and it carried through to his first job at the meatworks. He credits this sense of community, a supportive family and “a lot of freedom as a child” as informing both his art and world view. “Life was very basic. ‘‘There was a chance to be contemplative as a young boy. I would go to the Footscray library and borrow books. I just wanted to be expressive; somehow I got it in my blood.” Storytelling around the kitchen table, his father’s role in the union and unhappiness about the war in Vietnam all shaped Leunig’s trajectory as a political and philosophical cartoonist. “The ’60s was a time of upheaval. My father was very active in the Meatworkers Union and there was certainly that influence there in my family; lots of ideas. ‘‘It was an intellectually lively time and I got a political consciousness during the Vietnam War.” Leunig took to cartooning like a

Reflections: Self-portrait drawn by Michael Leunig for the Weekly. duck to water, a “self-taught art that doesn’t come through the proper channels”. He credits this with allowing him to develop his own style and voice. He’s now known to many via his cartoons for The Age newspaper and through cartoon-books such as The Adventures of Vasco Pyjama and the Curly Flats series. Leunig was declared an ‘Australian Living Treasure’ by the National Trust

of Australia in 1999, and he feels blessed to have been able to develop his cartooning career without losing sight of what drew him to the form. “I went into it as a political cartoonist, but I was never really interested in the main players. ‘‘I have always been more fascinated in the ordinary people. It has been very personal work, a personal matter, things like human loneliness, love and death, depression and joy.” He considers his realm to be “the space between dark and extreme light” and believes it’s the shared emotional touchstones of love and sadness, loneliness and joy that connects with his audience. Leunig will reflect upon his early life in Maribyrnong and Footscray in ‘Curly Pyjamas and other such stuff: an evening with Michael Leunig’ — a free talk at Footscray library for the Maribyrnong Literary Festival, from 7pm on Friday, September 7.

Space for lounge lizards Recent renovations and a great location makes this the ultimate package, writes Tegan Forder ew owners will get the best of both worlds; a family house in a quiet street and contemporary living thanks to recent renovations. This well-presented house on 530 metre squares has a lowmaintenance front garden with lawn and established beds planted with shrubs, roses and lavender. A wooden porch, wooden support posts and a grey rendered facade create a stylish exterior, while inside polished floorboards carry on the feel. The immaculate interior showcases attention to detail from state-of-the-art lighting to square edge plasterwork in the living areas. The simple floor plan has three distinct zones. Three bedrooms are at the front end of the house. The main has a walk-in wardrobe and a sparkling bathroom with frameless shower and stylish black and white stone mosaic feature tiling. The other bedrooms, one with a built-in wardrobe, are bright thanks to ample windows which have holland blinds. A lounge room with downlights has plenty of room for a

N

L-shaped lounge suite, while a large window lets in lots of natural light. The room is partially separated from the kitchen and family/ meals area by a wall partition. The back of the house is a truly contemporary living zone with plenty of space for a dining table as well as a breakfast bar. The kitchen features Caeserstone benchtops, soft closing doors, a pale green glass splashback, microwave nook, Omega oven and stove top, Asko dishwasher and two pantry cupboards with fitted pull-out shelving. An industrial light fitting above the breakfast bar is a point of difference and a nod to the current owner’s occupation. A laundry and modern bathroom complete the interior. Victorian ash bi-fold doors open out to an extensive rear merbau deck, which has a built-in barbecue and preparation area, including a nook for a bar fridge. An extended driveway provides ample off-street parking, while a new brick double garage at the back provides further space. Positioned in Seaholme, the property is close to Altona Beach, Cherry Lake, schools, transport and cafes.

yndham newborns requiring a little extra care, like Stella and Ellen Hargreaves, are receiving plenty of it at a new birthing unit at Werribee Mercy Hospital. Caring for more than 2000 newborns each year, the hospital opened the unit with the financial assistance of developer Asset 1 who is donating a portion of every land sale from The Heartlands estate to supporting youngsters. Tarneit residents Kylie and Andrew Hargreaves have been impressed with the care for their twins. ‘‘Ellen weighed just 800 grams when she was born. She has been cared for by amazing nurses in the unit. I can’t explain how nice it is to be close to the hospital and know your babies are being well looked after,’’ Kylie said. ‘‘We’ve been living in Tarneit for the past three years and are impressed with the developments coming up in the area, including new roadways, infrastructure and schools.’’

MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, of The Williamstown Eye Centre says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for almost all the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery and I did my training under him. He passed away three years ago but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. “One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision, even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.” No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

Professional Are you offering "genuine employment?''

ADVERTISERS PLEASENOTE Much hardship and difficulty is caused to job-seekers by misleading advertising placed in employment columns. Our Professional Employment and Situations Vacant columns are reserved for advertisements which carry a SPECIFIC and GENUINE offer of employment.

"Commission only'' jobs are only accepted in these columns PROVIDED that this is clearly stated in the ad AND the employer is paying Workcover and Superannuation. If not, then these advertisements MUST be placed in an alternate classification such as Self Employment Opportunities. Placing misleading advertisements is an offence against the Competition and Consumer Act and all advertisements are subject to the publisher's approval. For further advice contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on 9290 1800.

Articulating his passion Translator Chris Poole bridges the communication divide, writes Rebecca Miller interpret regularly on-site for car and pharmaceutical companies. We’ve worked for the Southern Star Observation Wheel [Docklands] and for information technology firms. ‘‘We also translate safety induction material for a power station in New Zealand and have translated brochures on people-trafficking. ‘‘We do everything from court and conference interpreting to drivers’ licences and tattoos. ‘‘From 1994-96 I was involved with a trial of five Japanese people charged with importing a large quantity of heroin. That was the turning point and made me decide to make a career of translation. I’ve also had fun jobs, like interpreting on film shoots in North Queensland and for teams on the Darwin to Adelaide solar car race.’’

We did a lot of work for a trucking company and someone had tried translating sections of a maintenance manual on the internet for a Japanese person to read. ‘Cat’ (Caterpillar diesel engine) had become a household pet and the ‘horn’ was now adorning the bonnet in the manner of a bull.’’ Each job for Chris is different, but they all involve interpreting. ‘‘We
