New Hobsons Bay Flood Management Plan

The Council has adopted its new flood management plan to determine key flood management planning, reduce risks of flooding and define the responsibilities of managing floods for both the Council and Melbourne Water over the next five years.

The plan will continually evolve as updated data becomes available to assist in the management of flood risks across Hobsons Bay. It includes a series of actions which will reduce the impact of flooding, including improving the local drainage network and consulting with residents who may be affected by flooding and educating them on the likelihood of flooding, and the support available to them.

The plan was placed on public exhibition for six weeks until 30th September 2013. No submissions were received.

Car parking strategies update

The Council has noted the progress made on the implementing the Williamstown, Altona and Newport Parking Strategies. The strategies aim to make the most efficient use of existing and future parking resources around the commercial precincts. Key actions include: constructing commuter parking in Market Street, Newport; advocating for improved bus and train services in Altona and improving safety at the station; adopted changes to the statutory car parking rates and altered the way parking is assessed; monitoring commuter parking in Newport; and investigating the possibility of a decked car park in Williamstown at the rear of the Williamstown Town Hall and Coles supermarket. Some of the outstanding actions include: undertaking a review of trader parking issues; reviewing the existing resident parking scheme; and preparing a Parking Overlay (PO) for inclusion in the Hobsons Bay Planning Scheme. The continual implementation of these plans will provide better parking management for the community.

COUNCIL DISPUTE

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

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

Resident Rebecca, who asked that her surname not be published, said the issue was out of hand.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BRIEFS

COMMUNITY GARDEN

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

budget cuts weaken the thin blue line POLICING

footscray

(SCOTT MCNAUGHTON)

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

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

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

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

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

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

CHARLIE BEZZINA

“They [police] are overworked and understaffed. It’s got to a stage now where they’re instructed not to wash cars, don’t empty major rubbish bins. They’re trying to cut back as much expenditure as possible.

“You’ll never get a uniform police member, from the chief commissioner down, being critical of the government [because] it is a criminal offence.” He said officers were also forced to escort and supervise prisoners – jobs

that could be performed by private security companies such as G4S, which manages Port Phillip Prison.

Mr Bezzina will speak at the SES dinner, which is restricted to past and present SES volunteers, at Kooringal Golf Club, Altona, on November 9 from 6pm.

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

Five founding members – Craig MacCallum, Leigh Hardinge, Alfred Pelns, Alan Tankard and Kay Stirling– remain with the SES unit, which was formed after a 1982 storm that killed two people and injured 20.

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

6 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY WEEKLY \ OCTOBER 30, 2013

The biggest local crisis since the fatal 1982 storm was the recent windstorm that caused widespread building damage and felled trees across the city. Between September 26 and October 6, Altona SES received 342 calls for help from around Hobsons Bay. Altona volunteers have also helped at the 1987 and 1993 Maribyrnong River floods, a 1995 Werribee train accident and 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. \ GD

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

Almost 70 submissions on a draft Footscray structure plan (amendment C125) would be considered by the panel, which would be appointed by Planning Minister Matthew Guy. The council’s structure plan focuses on a five-kilometre-square footprint from the Maribyrnong River to Ballarat and Geelong roads, dividing Footscray into eight distinct precincts.

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

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

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

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

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

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

linfox reinstates union delegates Two Linfox employees who were stood down after speaking to the media about alleged workplace bullying have returned to work.

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

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

“The NUW thought that it was outrageous

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He said 700 people worked at the Truganina centre and recent complaints had come from a group of 200 people represented by the NUW. At the protest, the Weekly spoke to numerous male and female workers who said they had been bullied, and we saw many signed worker statements that are expected to be investigated by WorkCover. \ GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK

westies on trail of the besties The best the west can dish up is being celebrated with the launch of a new food award.

Food lovers and bloggers Kenny Weir, of Consider The Sauce, and Lauren Wambach, of Footscray Food Blog (pictured), have teamed up to launch The Westies – Dishes of Distinction.

The annual awards will celebrate three dishes deemed to be most representative of the best of western suburbs food.

Ms Wambach said the judges would be looking for dishes that had the most to offer in terms of taste, consistency and pricing, as well as a sense of uniqueness or tradition.

“We see The Westies – Dishes of Distinction as a really exciting and enjoyable way of broadening appreciation of the food culture of the western suburbs.”

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

WILLIAMSTOWN

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“This is a last-minute effort by the objectors to further delay the redevelopment of the site.”

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

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

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

The strategy states there is almost universal scientific consensus on climate change being caused by human activity.

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

and dedicated resources to reduce carbon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

YMCA Victoria is tackling the rising rate of childhood obesity with an old-school approach. A YMCA survey shows cost, safety fears and lack of time are the greatest barriers to parents encouraging their children to be active. So YMCA Active Kids is going back to basics with a Chalk it Up! program, which was launched at Braybrook’s Dinjerra Primary School during National Children’s Week. Lina, 8, and Zeliha, 9 (pictured), were among pupils who took part in various games.

Chalk it Up! provides primary schools with buckets of chalk and game cards to inspire chalk-based schoolyard games such as foursquare, Y-ball, chalk baseball and hopscotch. The program is being rolled out across 19 primary schools in Melbourne’s west and in some YMCA camps and gymnastics clubs. Dinjerra Primary School principal Ros Mancer and physical education teacher Deb Domas encouraged all young people to pick up the chalk and start playing. \ BM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A 15-year-old Altona girl has released a debut CD for a year 9 project at Westbourne Grammar School in Truganina.

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

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

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

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

“Diabetes has made me the person I am – more compassionate, more understanding and sympathetic towards those who are ill or Honoured: Vania Poropat, Paul Poropat, are not well, because I have experienced the Lieutenant-Governor Marilyn Warren and Maria highs and the lows,” he said.

A large collaborative artwork drawing together more than 200 artists will be unveiled in Footscray next month.

Geonaut features a series of panels painted by community groups from Footscray to Melton, in collaboration with designer and director Adam Douglass.

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

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

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

“You’ve got this huge range of emotional states and qualities and belief systems and we’re trying to capture that in a non-judgemental way.”

Geonaut is being produced for the 2013 Big West Festival by Barkly Arts Centre. Its program co-ordinator, Liss Gabb, said: “There will be so much enjoyment from just being in this space when it’s finished. It will be an unusual, contemplative experience.”

Geonaut will be in Nicholson Street Mall, 8am-8pm from November 28 to December 1. \ BENJAMIN MILLAR

ach morning Marshall Tuck wakes early, exercises while listening to a podcast of Australian news, then drives 20 minutes from Duhok to his workplace – the Domiz refugee camp in Iraq’s Kurdistan region.

The Footscray resident is one of an estimated 274,000 people doing humanitarian work worldwide, according to a 2010 report by the international ALNAP network. The number keeps growing to meet an increasing need.

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

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

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

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

The searing summer heat will slowly give way to a bitterly

A CALL TO HELP Whether it’s working in a refugee camp or volunteering at an orphanage, humanitarian work can have mutual benefits, writes Tegan Forder

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

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

Save the Children, an emergency relief and development

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The supply of resources from the humanitarian community and governments in response to the crisis remains stretched.

Despite the drawbacks, Tuck says life continues as normally as it can in the tent city.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I hope to go back there one day and to other places in Africa. It was just a great experience and I enjoyed it because I was making a difference in their lives and they were making a difference in mine.” \ tforder@mmpgroup.com.au OCTOBER 30, 2013 \ MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY WEEKLY 13

Snap-on dentures revolution

Advertising feature

N

ot being able to tuck into favourite foods due to poor-quality dentures puts a real dampener on enjoyment. But Newport Denture Clinic provides quality dentures to ensure that situation doesn’t have to arise.

Dental prosthetist Goran Sabotkoski has more than 20 years’ experience in the field and, along with his two senior dental technicians, specialises in cosmetically designed upper and low dentures – acrylic or metal – and custom-made mouthguards in a variety of colours.

“As well as traditional dentures, we now use the new ‘snap on dentures’ which have no clasps or palatal material in the mouth,” Sabotkoski says. “These dentures attach to a patient’s natural teeth so there’s no damage to them and we can change the appearance dramatically to whatever shape or colour they want.

“We also do express repair work, within one hour, which is a boon for people in a hurry.”

Teeth whitening is also available.

And for people who can’t get to the clinic, Sabotkoski does home visits which are free to residents living in the local area.

“I visit nursing homes to help the people who can’t get to me, and the elderly in their homes if they can’t drive. Going above and beyond is all part of the service.”

Victorian Denture Schemes and Veteran’s Affairs cases are most welcome, with pension discounts also available.

‘‘Men and women can do this, along with reaching other goals many people have on their wish-lists: toning up, losing weight, improving strength, flexibility and relaxing the body and mind,’’ Lim says. ‘‘Bikram Hot yoga is a unique series of 26 postures (asanas) and two breathing exercises (pranayamas) performed in a heated room to about 39 degrees for 90 minutes. ‘‘As the body begins to shed unwanted kilos it will take on a new, more toned shape that fits better in clothes and looks better naked.

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

On the outside, this brick-veneer appears to be from another era, but inside has been updated and has all the mod cons as well as plenty of space for a family.

Three large bedrooms are at the front, including the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite. There’s also a bathroom and laundry with toilet. A big open-plan living-dining space is near the updated kitchen, which has stainless-steel appliances, a dual-drawer dishwasher and an abundance of storage and bench space. Timber french doors from the living hub lead to an undercover entertainment area with decking underfoot; beyond this is lawn, so there’s heaps of room to host a party and for the kids to run amok. The 544-square-metre property has ample off-street parking space and is within walking distance of a kindergarten, Hobsons Bay Primary and Bayside Secondary College. Newport railway station, Altona Gate shopping centre and restaurants are close by. \

SWEENEY OPEN THEIR BRAND NEW OFFICE IN FOOTSCRAY

Bigger bolder better!

We are delighted to announce to all our past and future clients we have now moved opposite our old office at 329 Barkly St to 320 Barkly St. Many would know our new office as the old “service station or garage” with its distinctive 1950s architecture.

We have retained many of its old features but have refurbished it into a state of the art real estate office.

It sits on one of the most prominent corners in Footscray with excellent exposure to both Barkly St and Geelong Rd which carries 60,000 vehicles a day, whilst offering convenient drive through access for a quick visit if necessary and parking for 10.

Darren Dean and Dean Johnson look forward to you visiting our new office and answering any of your real estate queries.

P. Di Natale

www.dinatale.com.au

John Librizzi

1948 - 2013

In Memoriam

The business today is thriving due to John’s ability to keep staff motivated and feeling that they are part of the P Di Natale family. This is evident through the low turn over of staff throughout the years. Most staff have been with John for over 20 years. John was driven and encouraged all staff to participate. This fostered a strong team spirit to make this business the success it is.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr John Librizzi on Saturday 26th October, 2013 at St Vincent’s hospital after a short illness. Footscray will miss one of their favorite sons, living and working in the area for over 47 years. John, managed P Di Natale (Footscray) Pty Ltd located at 225 Barkly Street, Footscray.

P Di Natale Real Estate was established

by Paul Di Natale, John’s brother in law, in 1956. After having success as a master tailor John decided to join Paul in Real Estate.

John’s business acumen has shone over the years with many long standing clients buying and selling homes repeatedly through John.

The relationships John fostered with clients transcended all expectations. His clients were a succession of generations with parents referring their children knowing that John would secure the best outcome for them.

Respect and loyalty were paramount to John. Those who knew him would enjoy a chat and understood that what you saw was what you got, he was so honest. In 1992, selling a house under instruction from State Trustees, John came across a large sum of cash hidden in furniture. His diligence and honesty meant that the beneficiaries of the estate benefited by more than $30,000.

Many clients felt so comfortable with John that they would often seek advice in regards to family matters, which he would happily mediate. Over the years, clients became more than “just clients”, friendships were fostered. All who dealt with him throughout his life either in business, family or supporting charities close to his heart, will agree, he will be sorely missed.

John’s legacy leaves staff enjoying a strong sense of family values, which were displayed over the years with suggestions that have now become traditions. Celebrating staff birthday’s with cake and song, the annual footy tipping competition which he won numerous times. He would decree the winner

to buy pizzas for everyone involved in the competition. Fund raising activities included Cancer Council morning teas to raise money on Daffodil Day. Christmas functions included John dressing up as Santa and handing out presents to not just staff but their children too.

John’s love of gardening is prevalent in the office with the diligent care of a few plants being attended to by staff, under his supervision. John’s heritage was Italian, one he embraced by being a member of several Italian social clubs. He loved playing cards, particularly briscola. Soccer was a passion and he followed Juventus whose colours, much to his disgust are black and white not navy blue which represents his true passion the Carlton Football club.

Johnwasagenerous,honest,compassionate, hard working and loyal man. He was a wonderful husband to Angela and together they brought up their family in Footscray.

Today, John has children living only as far as Canberra, with his other children and grand children still living in the Footscray area.

John was a wonderful father, grand father, brother, brother in law, uncle, employer, mentor and friend to all. Not many people possess all these qualities and lucky for us we were so fortunate to have had him in our lives. Although he will no longer be present and so sorely missed, our pledge to all the friends and clients of P Di Natale Real Estate Footscray, will be to honor John’s legacy in all that we continue to do.

With so much green, open space, it’s hard to believe Riverwalk is only 30 kilometres from the CBD. Enjoy direct access to the Princes Freeway, Werribee train station and local bus routes. As well as the Werribee Town Centre there’s the popular Watton Street, with its range of specialty shops, popular cafés and restaurants, just up the road. There’s lots to love about Riverwalk New Werribee.

ALTONA STEPS UP THE PACE

league adds a division in bid to even things up

Bowls

The Western Region Football League will expand to three divisions in 2014, a move prompted by the arrival of two new clubs – Werribee Districts, from the VAFA, and start-up club Tarneit.

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

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

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

The 2014 season will begin with two divisions before splitting into three after each side has played each other once.

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

There will be no promotion-relegation between division 2 and 3 at the end of next season, but both leagues will have a final four and premiership spoils on offer.

The all-important draft fixture will come out mid-November. \ LJ

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

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

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

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

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

The recalibration had an instant impact.

The A’s kicked off their big month with an 84-60 win over previously undefeated Bundoora RSL at Civic Parade in a Saturday twilight game.

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

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

The A’s will hit the road for a clash with Essendon at Windy Hill. The Bombers,

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

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

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

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

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

dogs also-rans no more Cricket

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

The Bulldogs were also-rans last season but are now being talked up as finals contenders.

After Saturday’s thumping nine-wicket win over the Bombers, it’s not hard to see why.

They finished a block of one-dayers with a 4-1 record and attention is turning to whether they can sustain their form in the two-day format.

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

The already-imposing batting line-up – led by captain Dean Russ, wicketkeeper Dylan Kight and first drop Travis Dean – has picked up from where it left off last summer.

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

“If you can knock one, two and three in the order, or two of one, two and three off quickly and get the middle order in, that’s going to make a significant difference in the game, and we’ve done that,” Chapman said.

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

slow-start clubbers endure home defeat VTCA

In recent seasons, Yarraville Club has made indifferent starts, adding a touch of intrigue to a side that has won four of the past five Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division flags.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was a weekend to forget for Altona North, Laverton and Spotswood, with all suffering first-innings defeats.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The A’s had a huge 263 target to chase on a difficult afternoon for batting and the outlook became bleaker when they slumped to 4-69.

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

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