letters to the editor End racism now, people

Here’s an idea for council – how about adjusting your spending to keep it within the level of your income, like most of us do? Instead, you work out what you want to spend and simply slug us poor ratepayers accordingly. Not good enough – 6%+ for two years in a row is nothing short of highway robbery.

Troubling reports exposing racism show it’s time to find a solution.

Every racism incident is serious, no matter how insignificant it seems.

Our research shows that the more racism people experience, the more likely they are to suffer psychological distress, which can lead to other preventable health problems.

Last month, VicHealth and the University of Melbourne released research that may hold the key to ending these ugly racist incidents.

Of the 600 people in regional, rural and metro Victoria surveyed, 83 per cent wanted more to be done about racism.

One in three pledged to take action if they saw it.

It is important that we all act if someone is being racist.

You can support the victim, film the incident, report it to police, challenge attitudes or simply reassure the target that most Victorians do not stand for this type of behaviour.

Jerril Rechter CEO, VicHealth

SHORT SHRIFT FOR SHORTEN I disagree with Alan Murphy (Shorten’s odds lengthen, TWR, July 3) that Bill Shorten’s stocks have gone down and he is in danger of losing his seat. While some see Mr Shorten as a traitor to the Gillard cause, many Labor voters appreciate how he put the party before the person. I appreciate how the member for Maribyrnong is staying on after the election, unlike many who jumped ship. I’m sure Mr Shorten will do well.

Moonee Valley Council chief executive officer Neville Smith said the council investigated Doug after a complaint from a resident. “[The] council also had the dog assessed by an independent dog expert, who agreed with the council’s assessment,” he said.

Mr Smith said the issue of restricted

breeds was complex, but the council had to be diligent to ensure public safety. “With these types of situations, council is caught in the middle between pet owners and state government legislation about restricted breed, which we are legally required to enforce,” he said. Mr Smith said the council would welcome a review of the current legislation. \ MELISSA CUNNINGHAM mcunningham@theweeklyreview.com.au

FOOTY LEGEND TARGETS NEW GOAL St Kilda football legend Danny Frawley helped launch the 2013 Wingman Off-Field Champion awards for the Essendon District Football League last Thursday. The Fox Sports commentator and AFL Coaches Association CEO (pictured with league general manager Marc Turri and Melissa Westin from the Department of Justice) called on amateur footballers to take the lead in reducing alcohol-related violence. Wingman is a partnership of the AFL Coaches Association, Victorian government, Netball Victoria and Surfing Victoria. “We want to make sure community football and netball clubs are safe environments,” Frawley says. “The awards recognise players who look out for their mates in social situations by helping them steer clear of potentially violent situations.” Details: visit wingman.org.au. \ BRENDAN BALE

The author of a new book exploring the early days of Melbourne’s north-west hopes it will introduce a broader audience to local history. Steele Creek and the Lady of the Lake – billed as the first book to comprehensively document the early history of suburbs including Keilor Park, Niddrie, Keilor East, Avondale Heights, West Essendon and Tullamarine – was launched at Niddrie library late last month. Author and long-time local Christine Laskowski (pictured) says she started out writing a short story but it soon grew into something much bigger. “A friend suggested that I write a short story on the Steele Creek area, something no more than 20 pages,” she said. “Once I started delving into newspapers, maps, wills and family histories, I realised there was a much bigger story to tell.’’ The book was named after Steele Creek, which runs through the suburbs, and the Lady of the Lake Inn, one of the first hotels established in the area. \ Stephen McCambridge

More police on beat to hound hoons maribyrnong

Crime and antisocial behaviour are being targeted these school holidays as police roll out a new patrol team at Maribyrnong’s Highpoint shopping centre. The Highpoint public assistance team will mirror the work of the patrol running in Footscray’s CBD since last year, carrying out regular surveillance both in the shopping centre and car parks.

Additional police will also crack down on shoplifting, motor vehicle and bike offences, assaults and public order offences as part of the week-long Operation Take Away.

Leading Senior Constable Lee Kendrick said the operation aimed at ensuring a safe, enjoyable shopping experience for people through a highly visible police presence.

“Highpoint is one of the busiest centres in the state. During the school and public holidays, evidence shows that offences increase, including theft of and from motor vehicles and shoplifting,” he said.

The regular foot patrols come on the heels of a similar program in the Footscray CBD, credited with playing a part in the area’s 6 per cent drop in crime in the year to March. \ Benjamin Millar bmillar@theweeklyreview.com.au

TakE a seat AGAINST racism Speaking out: Max Atkins, who is helping build the chairs with Suzanne Nguyen. (SUPPLIED) Aberfeldie

Suzanne Nguyen is using art as a platform to tackle what she believes is a hidden underbelly of racism in Australian society.

Describing herself as a story collector and artist, the 28 year old Aberfeldie resident has embarked on an innovative project titled The Two Chairs, where she plans to use art to create open and frank discussion about racism.

The project centres on building two chairs, one yellow and one white, then encouraging people to plonk down and begin talking about the issue. Conversations will be recorded and stored for future generations.

Nguyen’s dream is to take the chairs on the road across the country to exhibitions, festivals and workshops. The goal – to raise awareness about racism and create positive change. ‘‘There’s no negative slant,’’ she says.

“I don’t want to add to the vicious cycle of racism. I want to stop it.’’

The idea for the project was born when Nguyen, whose parents escaped the Vietnam War and found refuge in Australia, stumbled across a piece of furniture with a label that read ‘European labour only’.

After doing some research she discovered the stamp was part of the historical White Australia policy, which favoured immigration to Australia by white people and inhibited the employment of non-white immigrants from places such as Asia.

Racism, Nguyen concludes, is thus deeply

embedded in the fabric of Australian society and she hopes her project will shed light on the issue. ‘‘I believe it will engage people on a personal level. It focuses on instigating micro-changes, initiating a personal one-on-one conversation that goes beyond the superficial understanding.’’

She says she has experienced racism herself. ‘‘Not overtly. More subtle cases. It happens so fast and before you know it you don’t know what to say.’’

Nguyen uses the phrase ‘All Asians look alike’ to explain further. ‘‘Some people don’t think that’s racist, that it’s actually wrong to say.’’

Her current challenge is raising funds so the project can get off the ground.

Using crowdfunding initiative Pozible to help make it happen, Nguyen has already raised almost half of the $3000 she is seeking from supporters.

Nguyen says the ultimate aim of The Two Chairs is to promote cultural diversity and eliminate some of the social norms that exist among us. ‘‘It’s about planting small seeds so it eventually grows into something bigger.’’

Nguyen says she’s gained a lot from the experience already, and she loves meeting people and hearing their stories. \ Robert Fedele rfedele@theweeklyreview.com.au » To support the project, visit pozible.com/ thetwochairs.

he name Merv Hughes conjures up a kaleidoscope of images.

An imposing figure, burly and brash, Hughes was a useful right-arm fast bowler with a finicky run-up that seemed to stretch the length of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

He played in a golden era of Australian cricket and is best remembered as a likeable larrikin, with his handlebar moustache, usually covering a cheeky grin, capturing nearly as much attention as the man himself.

When we meet at an Essendon coffee shop on a crisp winter’s morning it’s the first thing that registers. ‘‘I’ve had the mo since 1985,’’ Hughes chuckles. ‘‘Growing up, two of my biggest heroes were Max Walker and Dennis Lillee so I think I was destined to grow a moustache.’’

Hughes has lived in Essendon for two decades and is a regular at the North Essendon Village shopping strip. ‘‘It’s interesting. You’re sort of part of the furniture here, but I find if you go somewhere new it’s a bit of a big deal.’’

Does the limelight annoy him? ‘‘The benefits outweigh the negatives, but there are times when you just want to go and hide somewhere and have a quiet coffee and you get hammered a bit. That’s part and parcel of it. At the end of the day, you can’t really complain if people enjoy what you did.’’

Hughes’ sporting aspirations began in childhood.

His father was a school teacher and the family moved around so much his upbringing was akin to a cricket ball being smacked to all corners of the ground.

He was born in Euroa, but Apollo Bay, Werribee, Violet Town and Myrtleford were all places young

COVER Story

Swervin’ Mervyn There’s a lot going on behind, and slightly north of, Merv Hughes’ trademark moustache and countless kilometres beneath those sometimes wonky knees, writes Robert Fedele Hughes called home. Werribee resonates with him most strongly. ‘‘Moving around a lot, [Dad] was adamant that you meet people if you play sports.’’

Hughes ate up football, cricket and basketball. But he never dreamed of wearing the baggy green cap. ‘‘As a 16, 17, 18-year-old, all I wanted to do was play footy. Cricket took a backseat.’’

A robust and talented defender, Hughes played for Werribee in the Victorian Football Association (now VFL) and was invited to train with Geelong for a couple of nights, ‘‘but it just didn’t work out’’.

It was the late ’70s and a time of upheaval when media mogul Kerry Packer turned cricket on its head by dreaming up the renegade World Series Cricket. And there had been a few retirements in the Victorian cricket team, so Hughes was called up to the squad. ‘‘When I got down to Geelong I was playing cricket at Footscray, and the cricket took off a bit,’’ he recalls.

Hughes made his Victorian debut in 1981 against South Australia in a one-day match. Four years later the national side beckoned and Hughes quickly became a crowd favourite, with thousands mimicking his customary stretches.

It was 1988, a one-day match between Australia and Pakistan at the MCG. Australia had opened the batting and had posted a handy score. Carl Rackemann and Terry Alderman snared early wickets, but rain stopped play with Pakistan in quicksand.

The crowd had turned restless, boredom setting in, and Hughes began to limber up. ‘‘I heard a big roar behind me, but every time I looked around there was nothing. So I started the stretching again. There’s a bit of a roar and the same thing.

‘‘I ran and bowled my over and Dean Jones came across to me and said, ‘Do you know what’s going on down there? Every time you do an exercise there’s about 10,000 people behind you doing the same thing’. And you think, well how good’s that?’’

The MCG is full of memorabilia of famous sporting moments and Hughes finds the funny side in the fact there is a photo of him stretching in front of the infamous Bay 13.

To concentrate only on Hughes the showman would be an injustice to a handy bowler who gave his all.

He represented Australia between 1985 and 1994, playing 53 Tests and taking 212 wickets.

Former Australian captain Ian Chappell observed Hughes from the commentary box. ‘‘He gave everything he had to try and help his team win,’’ Chappell says. ‘‘Merv is a great example to all budding young fast bowlers ... if you have some skill and give it everything you’ve got, you can succeed.’’

As he tucks into a sandwich, Hughes recollects his career, detailing mateship, mayhem and triumph.

When he first got into the national side in December, 1985, the environment, he says, was edgy, cricket still recovering from the turmoil of World Series. He says it took a few years to swing that attitude around, and he credits the change to the influence of Allan Border, coach Bob Simpson, and wide-eyed wicketkeeper Ian Healy.

Hughes’ first tour was with the famed 1989 Ashes-recapturing side in England. Australia, pinned as underdogs, took out the six-Test series 4-0.

Hughes would return in 1993 for the Ashes, celebrating another victory this time with the cream of Australia’s youth in the likes of Damien Martyn, Shane Warne, Matthew Hayden and Michael Slater.

‘‘In 1989 I was very much a junior player within the set-up, and four years later you go over as an experienced player and you watch these young blokes come through and you just think: ‘I knew they were good players, but I didn’t think they were gonna be that good’.’’

When his career finally wound down in 1994, he was, he says, physically knackered.

He admits he could have looked after his weight more but has seemingly no lasting regrets. ‘‘I loved my food, loved my drink. Ultimately, it probably did cost me,” he says of his career ending.

Following a two-year stint with the Canberra Comets and a couple of years in the Footscray seconds, Hughes kept his hand in the game, helping develop young junior teams at Victorian level and seeing the likes of Cameron White and Peter Siddle come through.

In 2005 he became an Australian selector, but was sacked five years later.

Nowadays, Hughes’ main gig is as a tour host with Australian Sports Tours.

Back home he is on the committee at Footscray Cricket Club and speaks fondly of the club where he cut his teeth. He seems genuinely humbled by the fact they chose to name the ground after him.

Outside of cricket, his passions revolve around the Western Bulldogs, golf, and fishing. ‘‘My wife Sue constantly tells me there’s a fine line between fishing and sitting in a boat, holding a rod and not catching anything, which is what I tend to do a fair bit,’’ he laughs. \ rfedele@theweeklyreview.com.au

Where would you go to snag a clothes bargain?

I love Miss Gigi in Essendon and have been buying up big for the past year or so. They have beautiful dresses which I find perfect for mayoral functions - in fact, their whole range is lovely. I’ve also snaffled some shoes and handbags from their wonderful range of accessories. I love them and they love me!!

ast Keilor jewellery designer Danielle Mondo will have a prize-winning jewellery piece marketed nationwide in Myer department stores.

Mondo won a design contest by bespoke jeweller Fairfax and Roberts, who will now craft her sterling silver spinning wheel pendant.

A former student at St Columba’s College Essendon, Mondo took up jewellery-making as a hobby while growing up. ‘‘My passion has always been accessories, so to be able to make my own is a bonus,’’ Mondo says. ‘‘I love to be creative with colour and help people complete their outfits with the perfect accessories to match.’’

The 34-year-old made the decision to make jewellery her career while studying industrial design at Monash University. In 2003, she established Mondo Jewellery Designs and the business quickly developed a following.

Last year, Mondo began selling her pieces through Facebook and her online store. ‘‘I came to trading on social media quite late in the game,’’ she says. ‘‘I only started selling my jewellery on Facebook last year but it has been amazing. I’ve been getting orders from all over the world.’’

Spurred by the popularity of her social media success, Mondo entered the Fairfax and Roberts jewellery design contest.

Judges said Mondo’s spinning wheel pendant design was chosen as the major prizewinner for its geometric shape and functionality, which complement Fairfax and Roberts’ design philosophy. \

Trocadero Art Space’s Circle Work expo takes the symmetry of the circle as a starting point, with the gallery transformed into a room full of circles, spheres, orbits and revolutions – visually and conceptually. Pictured are, from left, the gallery’s Anne Kucera, Bobbie Masoner and Jess Wilson with some of the artworks. The exhibition is raising funds to keep the gallery’s doors open.

Subaru outback dieSel What is it?

A great way to go bush.

What’s in it?

A 110-kilowatt, four-cylinder turbo diesel with a continuously variable auto. is it thirsty?

I used 9.5 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 6.6 in the country.

The official combined figure is 6.5.

Drive away (SUPPLIED)

had an unusual experience a few days ago: I filled up a Subaru at a diesel pump. Subaru has been making cars for 60 years, most of them with all-wheel-drive, yet it has not had a diesel motor until now.

This first attempt displays attention to detail typical of the brand. It’s a ripper.

This is major news for anyone who has ever fantasised wistfully about the big trip – you know, the daydream about telling the boss to shove it, throwing the bare necessities in the car and heading off on an odyssey around this wide, brown land with only the vaguest of schedules in mind.

For anyone contemplating such an epic, this car is a sensible proposition. I may have only had it for a week but I racked some serious kilometres out where the crows fly backwards and fuel prices are measured in arms and legs.

Subaru outback dieSel The Outback is a wagon with raised suspension and a bit of extra underbody protection. It’s all-wheel-drive but it doesn’t time, it’s comfy, reasonably quiet and, bestof have a low-range gearbox like the serious all, extremely economical. That’s because it’s contenders. So it’s more an all-road more a car than a four-wheel-drive. It’s vehicle than an off-road vehicle. humane, easy and relaxed. it’s more a This will suit most big trippers.

OK, the suspension is a little tighter You can drive clear around the than normal, making the ride a bit car than a country without leaving the firmer than a typical car, but it rides four-wheel bitumen these days, but if you quite nicely. It handles like a car drive want to see the Bungle Bungles or too, without a top-heavy feeling. The Wolf Creek, or explore the tracks steering doesn’t get vague when you in Kakadu or drive along the beach push through tight corners and the boot’s on Fraser Island, the Subaru has surprising loading height is lower than an SUV despite ability. And for the other 99 per cent of the the full-size spare.

The diesel motor is on par with anything from Europe. It’s nicely flexible and winds up quickly for highway overtaking, the continuously variable transmission making excellent use of the motor’s power and torque.

You’ll hear that distinctive clatter of a diesel outside, but in the cabin it’s quiet.

There’s a reasonable audio system, good equipment levels and generous interior space.

On build quality, no one does it better

Motoring \ Ron HammeRton enjoys a little luxuRy

T

he new Lexus GS came perilously close to being stillborn, a near-victim of Toyota president Akio Toyoda’s quest to breathe excitement into the Japanese giant’s luxury brand best known for its supreme quality, high levels of equipment and not much else.

Toyoda-san – a descendent of the company founder and a card-carrying race driver – felt the previous three generations of Lexus’ rear-wheel-drive rival for the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class were a yawn.

But enthusiasts in the Lexus product planning team convinced him to give it one last try. Rather than radical surgery, the engineers kept the overall concept but revisited every component, primping and refining the whole. The goal was to deliver a more satisfying driving experience, with better fuel economy and comfort to boot.

As well, the GS benefited from the new Lexus look, with a sharper, more macho grille, that instantly lifted the GS from the norm and set it apart from German rivals.

Here, the latest Lexus GS is available in three petrol V6 models, 250, 350 and 450h, with the latter getting additional oomph from a twin-motor electric hybrid powertrain.

One of the biggest surprises with the new Lexus GS 450h was that it came with no more power than the previous generation (254kW), despite major changes to the 3.5-litre V6 engine – dual fuel injection, for example. However, a revised hybrid powertrain with a new and more efficient continuously variable transmission helped to trim the 0-100km/h sprint time to a handy 5.9 seconds This is in the same ballpark as the BMW hybrid, but a fraction slower than the fastest diesel 5 Series.

On the all-important fuel economy readings, the Lexus appears to tick the boxes, with an official combined fuel consumption result of 6.3 litres per 100 kilometres, compared with the hybrid BMW’s 6.8L/100km. However, diesel rivals can pip those, coming in at 5.6L/100km for the BMW 535d and 6.1L/100km for the rival Mercedes-Benz E350CDI BlueEfficiency.

country running. In stop-start urban driving, the hybrids come into their own, bursting away from the traffic lights on pure electricity drawn from batteries topped up under braking, thus cutting the thirst.

We did not see the 6.3L/100km figure claimed by Lexus, rarely getting below 9.0L/100km in our week in the car.

Nevertheless, the Lexus is undoubtedly more efficient than pure-petrol luxury cars, albeit at a price premium.

The Lexus buyer will pay about $10,000 more for the hybrid technology by stepping up from GS 350 to GS 450h. The good news is that Lexus Australia has dropped the price of GS hybrid entry by $26,814, to $99,900 (plus on-road costs), in the latest range, while broadening the line-up from one to three models – Luxury, F-Sport and Sports Luxury.

thumbs up more affordable, improved acceleration, high equipment levels, jewel-like quality and refinement, thrifty running thumbs DoWn not as efficient as rival diesels, tight luggage space, no split-fold rear seat * These are manufacturer’s list prices.

The hybrid GS gets new tricks such as an “EV mode” that enables the car to travel on pure electricity for up to two kilometres at up to 50km/h (battery charge permitting), say in crawling traffic. EV is one of five selectable modes that adjust electric power steering aggressiveness, powertrain response, comfort settings and chassis control in the 450h.

Others are Eco, Normal, Sport and Sport+.

Our test car was the sportiest GS 450h F Sport ($111,900), which has the same powertrain as the other hybrid variants but gains sports interior, bigger brakes, heavier suspension, larger 19-inch wheels and rear-wheel steering for better city manoeuvrability and slicker high-speed handling. And handle it does, although the new electric-assisted steering is a touch numb.

Like all in the Lexus range, the GS450h benefits from high levels of comfort and equipment, with a sumptuous interior that includes a huge 12-inch LCD display, so big it can be run as a split screen to show sat-nav and other functions all at once.

The dials in front of the driver are also LCD, and in the F Sport model, the speedo morphs into a tacho in the Sports modes. A head-up display beamed on to the windscreen has a digital speedo readout, along with other functions.

Standard equipment includes leather-clad seats with a multitude of electric adjustments, digital radio and various choices of interior finishes (bamboo, anyone?).

The rear seats get extra legroom, although this becomes premium when the driver’s seat automatically reverses on switching off the engine. Boot space has been enhanced, although it’s still inhibited by a battery pack that sits vertically behind the rear seats. Luggage space is adequate.

Finally, we come to the Lexus point of difference: build quality. No one does it better. So, if diesel does not light your fire, you don’t mind paying a premium for saving fuel and you value jewel-like quality, the 450h is worth a look.

And if $100k seems a bit rich, stand by, as Lexus Australia has announced a more affordable GS hybrid based on a four-cylinder engine from early next year. \ rhammerton@theweeklyreview.com.au

esseNDoN west \ 49A HAMPTON ROAD

ack in Queen Victoria’s day a grand estate named Halcyon occupied the southern border of Ascot Vale.

The property was subdivided a century ago, but the Halcyon spirit lives on in this two-storey, six-year-old Victorian-style mansion. As the name implies, this is a place made for friendship, fun and sunshine – a fact not lost on the present owners when they relocated here from Perth three years ago.

Being from the west they were so hooked on sunshine that they added a wide verandah to the northerly rear of the house. That verandah is now a cosy place for all-weather barbecues and cocktail parties.

The rendered-brick house is a reproduction, but “faux” is not the word for it; it is too faithful in its detail for that. Its wide eaves are true to the 19th century; leadlights in the front door are cut, not printed; in the formal dining room and study, detailed cornices add to the authentic atmosphere.

Rising grandly behind a tall iron fence, the 40-square house is modelled on Victorian homes of the 1880s boom.

This was the era known as marvellous Melbourne when the city was awash with money, much of the wealth stemming from the post gold-rush boom.

In this modern interpretation of the style, a lace-trimmed verandah and balcony offset bay windows on upper and ground floors. The central arched hall leads to a fitted study, a playroom and, through imposing double doors, the dining room, with polished jarrah floorboards and triple bay windows dressed with brocade curtains.

The end of the hall signals the 21st century family living zone with all the bells and whistles. Here the lounge, meals area and kitchen occupy a vast, porcelain-tiled room that is warmed by a gas log fire set beneath a classical fireplace and mantelpiece. The lounge is impressive in its symmetry and detail. Scrollwork decorates the mantelpiece. Bench seats fit below two windows and neutral interiors get a dash of contemporary style from handsome, boldly striped blinds.

In the kitchen, which is packed full of Miele appliances, shell-shaped handles on the cabinets and glass-fronted cupboards maintain the period detail. Bifold windows open the kitchen to the outdoor covered verandah, allowing food and drinks to be passed outdoors. A long Italian Carrara marble benchtop, which also acts as a breakfast bar, separates the kitchen from the meals area. A wall of bifold glass doors open the meals area to the undercover outdoor entertaining space, making outdoor entertaining easy.

Back near the kitchen, a hall leads to the laundry-cumbutler’s pantry and a large bathroom.

A timber staircase with polished timber hand rail leads up to a large retreat, of which are the four bedrooms. All have built-in wardrobes and two have a brilliant north-east aspect. The smallest bedroom gets compensation in the form of a smart shower en suite. In the main suite, lit by the bay window, the bathroom includes added luxuries such as a solid jarrah cabinet topped with Kashmir white granite.

While the house is perfect for executive entertaining, formal dinners and large gatherings, its secret spaces give it added appeal and a sense of fun.

Any smart kid will immediately note the huge, hidden cupboards, the under-stairs hidey-holes and the Georgian-style box room, all ready and waiting for some old-fashioned adventures. \ ALISON BARCLAY property@theweeklyreview.com.au

With bedrooms on three of the four levels, the floor plan of this townhouse is unusual. The views across Steele Creek valley (from two balconies and the entrance terrace) are also far from ordinary. Basement level consists of a single garage with workshop. Entry level has a big foyer, a laundry and the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, en suite and balcony. Up a timber staircase, the next level is semi-elevated and semi-grounded, owing to the slope of the land. To the fore, there’s a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a study beside another balcony with panoramic views. Out back, the kitchen, dining and living area opens to a courtyard and deck. The chef observes all over a CaesarStone island bench, with quality appliances and plenty of cabinets.

The dining area is glass-walled to a pond and the courtyard is a lush spot for entertaining. The top level has two bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Ducted heating and cooling, video intercom, sound system and ducted vacuum contribute to breezy modern living. \ KAY KEIGHERY

In this street, people are renovating 1950s weatherboards like this modest three-bedroom house, which is on a block of nearly 680 square metres.

Updated for comfortable family living, the bedrooms line the eastern side of the house off a central hall. The front main bedroom has a red feature wall, plenty of built-in wardrobe space and a pleasant street aspect. Bedrooms two and three have built-in wardrobes and timber venetians. Polished Baltic pine floors work well with the predominantly white interiors. The elevated entry to the house includes an undercover terrace screened by a camellia. An open lounge, meals and kitchen area is accessed from the hall through original glass double doors. The kitchen has a white Chef cooker and white tiled splashback. At the rear, an updated bathroom with timber vanity, a laundry, powder room and study alcove precede an undercover outdoor patio. The large north-facing backyard presents a world of possibility, including the option of a significant extension (STCA). \ EMMA HOUGHTON

ESSEndOn \ 3B HESLEDEN STREET With a modest street presence, this double-storey house is big enough to provide five double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study and a double garage.

It has a compact and effective floor plan: split levels create zoned living and sleeping quarters, while the south-facing orientation of the house fronts a pleasant side garden.

Indoor/outdoor living, where bifold doors from the lounge access a balcony overlooking the garden, is a highlight. The soft grey rendered façade with white trims is a colour scheme that is mirrored inside with contemporary style.

The elevated first-floor entry leads to a kitchen and meals area, separate study and the large carpeted lounge. The kitchen and meals has a sunny north-facing aspect.

Stainless-steel Smeg appliances, CaesarStone benches, white venetian blinds and a split-system air-conditioning unit ensure form and function in this hub. Stairs lead down to four bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes and the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The main bathroom has a black slate-tiled floor, a spa bath and shower.

A separate staircase to the ground floor reveals a large laundry and the fifth bedroom with a powder room. With external access, this could be a home office. Outside, bluestone paving from an undercover verandah leads to an entertainment patio. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

Set between bustling Union and Epsom roads, this renovated Victorian has all the ingredients to live the café lifestyle at home. The vast extension to the side of the original 1890s building has been designed to capture the sun. A large covered deck is equally perfect to relax with a latte and the paper while getting your daily dose of vitamin D. Step back into the spacious open-plan living area where floor-to-ceiling windows also make the most of the north-facing aspect. All the mod cons you’d expect from a quality renovation are in the kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, five-burner gas cooktop, CaesarStone benches, gleaming white 2pac cabinetry and walk-in pantry. High ceilings and tall doors are anchored by floating floorboards in the original building, where a neutral palette of soft grey and white calms the busy mind. Three bedrooms, a study, laundry and bathroom complete this wing, but the showstopper is the main bedroom’s en suite, which wouldn’t look out of place in a plush hotel. There is off-street parking at the front and rear. \ SARAH MOORE

ASCOT VALE \ 10 THE GROVE Must have modern but don’t want to spoil a heritage precinct?

Build a new street! Seven years ago, The Grove was notched out of Unley Grove, near Ascot Vale station. Now a glittering glade of 15 townhouses, The Grove is so secluded only the most dedicated stickybeak will find it, despite being five minutes’ walk from main roads, trams and train.

No. 10 is one of just two three-storey houses and resembles a Flinders Lane art gallery in its hard-edged glamour. Stark white walls contrast with japan-lacquered hardwood floors and everything is illuminated by full-length glazing north and south. The hall slips past the double garage to the living, dining and kitchen area, a sunny atrium two storeys high, almost seven metres wide and elegant in bluestone-paved floor and Calacatta marble benchtops. In the kitchen are the full Miele flush; three ovens, cooktop, dishwasher and soft-closing drawers.

This airy space opens to the north-facing courtyard and its Everdure barbecue.

Studious is the mood of the first floor, where bookshelves encircle the atrium and a home cinema commands the south side.

On the grey-carpeted top floor, two double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and a northerly view. But the main suite gets the goodies; a large walk-in wardrobe, a chic marble en suite with a deep bath and a view to the city skyline. \ ALISON BARCLAY

It might seem trite to say this property is full of character and charm, but in this case the cliché rings true. Exterior iron lacework, hallway fretwork and decorative cornices and rosettes in each room make all the difference in this semi-detached Victorian. An open fireplace with timber mantle in the master bedroom also adds a touch of romance. A cutaway arch links the central living room with the large kitchen, where there is ample room for a dining table and plenty of cupboard space. Quirky monochrome floor tiles enliven the bathroom, which is accessed through a separate laundry at the rear of the house. The deep backyard extends far beyond the back door and is currently home to a large shed and Hills Hoist, but savvy investors and keen viewers of TV renovation shows will quickly see its potential to transform the period house with a contemporary extension (STCA).

With public transport, shops and cafés literally at the end of the street on Union Road, and freeway access close by, the location just adds to the attraction. \ SARAH MOORE

Where will you be when Santa comes?

If you’ve been thinking about selling your house and perhaps buying another, then, if you want to be happily moved and settled before Christmas, you’ll need to start doing something soon.

Right now, in the lead up to Spring, it’s traditionally the time of high activity in the real estate market.

There should be more properties to choose from if you’re buying and many more buyers if you’re selling.

But the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll be happily moved and settled.

At our agency we are gearing up for a frantic few months as we head towards Christmas. If this year is anything like previous years, it’s almost certain that we’ll need more properties to sell.

So, if you are thinking of selling before Christmas, please call us now and we’ll be happy to give you a

Well-Being

\ Anxiety can be kept in check writes Rebecca Miller

» If you are experiencing anxiety, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

(Getty Images/iStockphoto)

A

nxiety symptoms are often invisible, but for sufferers such as Glen Robinson the struggle is very real. ‘‘I was diagnosed with anxiety in 1995, when I was 17,’’ he says. ‘‘I left school to work fulltime, broke up with my girlfriend and never really accepted I had a problem. ‘‘My diagnosis was brought about because I’d have panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and night sweats. I was constantly on edge.’’

Eventually, things began to turn around.

Robinson went back to school, completed his VCE and visited a psychologist regularly.

But life took a turn for the worse in 2003 when his anxiety came back with a vengeance. ‘‘I became very sensitive to light, couldn’t handle crowds and was anxious and insecure outside my home.’’

He says the support of his parents got him through. ‘‘One day mum gave me a pair of sunglasses and said, ‘wear these’. ‘‘I wore them everywhere. It worked, I felt confident wearing them. All of a sudden the fuzziness and haze had disappeared.’’

Bacchus Marsh psychologist Danette Thackwray says people with anxiety don’t have to suffer in silence. ‘‘Psychological counselling is very helpful in the treatment of anxiety and panic attacks. ‘‘Patients can talk about their background and history of their symptoms and learn how and when the feelings began. They can gain the tools to help in their own recovery.’’

Robinson describes mental illness as being like a volcano – it can lie dormant for a while, but when it erupts you know about it.

He says it is how you deal with it, and the help provided, that’s important.

Cannons’ LEVER pulled to full-on FOOTBALl

Jake Lever was the last Cannon standing for Vic Metro this season and he didn’t let his fan club down at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

The versatile tall from Riddell District club Romsey has been a stand-out for Calder this season, particularly his aerial capability.

However, it was a contest on the ground that wowed spectators on Wednesday, with Lever and Zak Jones colliding head-on in the third quarter after a wonky bounce left the players charging not at the ball but each other.

Lever thought he came off second best, but he bounced straight back to his feet.

The 17-year-old had a pocket of fans on Wednesday, with a banner sporting his nickname ‘Snake’ being the most prominent personal support for any of the players.

“That was the junior football club; I’m the assistant coach for the under-14s,” Lever said.

Lever said support from his parents and siblings had been second to none.

“Playing Vic Metro as a bottom-ager is a fantastic experience and a learning curve.

“I want to get through the season injuryfree and hopefully play a couple of TAC Cup finals.” \ Teo Pellizzeri tpellizzeri@theweeklyreview.com.au

Vermont’s Mitchell Honeychurch kicked the first from a forward line stoppage, then a poor kick across half back by Vic Country was picked off and passed to Keilor’s James Sicily, who converted from the set shot.

An arm wrestle for the first eight minutes of the last quarter broke Vic Metro’s way before two goals in three minutes – the first for Donvale’s Jordan Walker and the second a nice left-footed finish from Northern Knights’ Marcus Bontempelli on the run – made the margin an unassailable 25 points.

vic coach expects cannons to boom again soon Football

Vic Metro head coach and former Calder supremo Martin Allison has played down the absence of any draft-age Cannons in his final two match-day squads at the under-18 national championships.

Romsey’s Jake Lever, too young for this year’s draft, was the only Cannon retained to play against South Australia and Vic Country.

But with seven Cannons playing in the under-16 national championships in Sydney this week, Allison said it would not take long for the next bumper crop of players to come through.

Allison coached Calder to two TAC Cup premierships before taking the Vic Metro role this season.

“It’s one of those cycles. Calder had a similar cycle in 2008,” Allison recalled.

“What’s most exciting is bottom-age players coming through and then the 16s behind them. Having said that, if they get into the TAC Cup finals they’ll trouble a few sides.

Some of those bottom-agers will kick on.”

The mood in the Vic Metro rooms was largely positive, even though the team was pipped for the division 1 title by South Australia.

“I was happy with how they came back collectively as a group and some individual performances were fantastic,” Allison said.

Calder’s region manager, Ian Kyte, told the Weekly Review before the start of the TAC Cup season that there were “no certainties” for an AFL draftee on this year’s Cannons list and that reputations would have to be forged during the year.

Mark Fisher’s under-16 Vic Metro squad started its national championships in western Sydney at the weekend. See next week’s Weeky Review for a wrap of how the team fared. \ TP » Go to theweeklyreviewmooneevalley.com. au for our action gallery of the Vic Metro v Vic Country game

briefs SOCCER Avondale Heights enjoyed a timely boost to its goal difference with a 4-0 thumping of Altona East Phoenix at Paisley Park on Saturday.Gurakhan Koca scored the opening two goals before Samuel French and Bale Nicoski finished the rout. The win failed to move Avondale Heights out of fourth place in FFV state league 2 north-west. But Heights remains within a game of the top two, its 22 points trailing Sydenham Park (third, 23) and Keilor Park (fourth, 24) with Heights holding a game in hand on the second-placed team. In state 4 west, a late Western Eagles equaliser denied Essendon Royals all three points in a 1-1 draw, while FC Strathmore’s relegation fears worsened with a 3-1 loss to Corio. In state 5 west, Melbourne Tornado lost 2-1 against Melbourne City. \ WOMEN’S CRICKET Essendon Maribyrnong Park has landed former Australian captain Karen Rolton as club coach for the coming season.

Previously a coach of South Australia u-18 and women’s grade team Port Adelaide, Rolton will relocate to Victoria in order to head up EMP’s challenge for this summer’s VWCA premier firsts title.

Rolton’s international career spanned from 1995 to 2009. She represented Australia in 14 Tests and 141 one-day internationals. Rolton was part of two successful Australian world cup campaigns and was also ICC women’s cricketer of the year in 2006. EMP has been a perennial contender for the premier firsts title but bowed out at the semi-final stage last season after finishing top of the home-and-away ladder.

The Bombers won the VWCA Twenty20 final to ensure one trophy from its campaign. \ NETBALL Victoria had a win and a loss for its two Australian Netball League teams as the season started in Sydney on Saturday.

Victoria Fury was a convincing 24-goal winner against NSW Waratahs but the Victoria Flames lost by five goals to Southern Force. The Fury controlled its contest from the beginning with a 20-11 first quarter on the way to beating NSW 70-46. Malawi international goal shooter Mwai Kumwenda was the Fury’s dominant player, shooting 43 goals from 45 shots in a near-unstoppable display.

The Fury’s mid-court of Kasey Stanaway, Elle Bennetts and Caitlyn Strachan denied NSW’s attacking end the ball, with Victoria edging the third and final quarters to continue extending the ead. Victoria Flames gave up an early lead to Southern Force and spent much of the game trying to bridging the gap. The Flames were down by seven at three-quarter time but a rally to win the final quarter could only bring the scores back to a 53-48 defeat.

SLUGGISH MORES PAY THE PRICE edfl

Strathmore’s finals hopes in Essendon District Football League suffered a major blow on Saturday after a percentage-crippling defeat against Airport West.

The Mores, last year’s runner-up after going unbeaten through the home-and-away season, were held to just one goal in the first half of its 4.12 (36) to 13.16 (94) defeat at Hansen Reserve.

The win put Airport West into fourth spot (7-5, 117 per-cent) ahead of Maribyrnong Park (7-5, 112), while Strathmore (7-5, 94) now sports a significantly worse percentage than its rivals for the top four.

Avondale Heights (7-4) had the chance to put a game between itself and the chasing pack when it hosted Aberfeldie (10-1) on Sunday after The Weekly Review went to print.

The Eagles had the better of a low-scoring first half with six goals to Strathmore’s one, kicking away with five goals to two in the third quarter.

Marcus Kenny booted five to spearhead Airport West’s charge while Andrew Walsh, Simon Hogan and Sam Boyd were better players. The Mores did not have a multiple goal-kicker, with Andrew Horne best in the losing cause.

Greenvale 19.18 (132) d Maribyrnong Park 15.7 (97).

Marby’s mid-season revival may have claimed Aberfeldie’s scalp, but the Lions could not match the division’s other run-away leader as Greenvale led start to finish.

The Jets were 22 points up at half time and made the game safe with six goals to two in the third term.

Joe Gazzo and Denis Bicer kicked three goals each, while James Rohan, Eric Kuret and Trent Shinners were Greenvale’s best.

Trent and Cameron Lee kicked three goals each for Marby, while Simon Cave and Daniel Schibeci were other better players.

Essendon Doutta Stars 29.20 (194) d Oak Park 9.2 (56).

Douttas may be three wins adrift of a finals place but they were still a cut above the winless Kangaroos.

An even first quarter and five-point deficit offered hope to Oak Park but the Stars kicked away with seven unanswered goals in the second term.

Nicky Kovac and Phil Lobb kicked five each for Douttas while four-goal Damien Rayson was best afield and Justin Kahlefeldt also prominent.

Brenden Keast and Jack Kennedy were Oak Park’s best.

St Bernards has axed Chris Tankard, the coach who led the Snowdogs back to VAFA Premier.

The club, currently out of the relegation zone on percentage only, has installed assistant coach Nick Mitchell as caretaker.

Tankard led St Bernards to the 2011 VAFA Premier B grand final, earning promotion to the top amateur division but losing the season decider to Caulfield Grammarians.

A club statement said a number of factors were behind the decision, including a desire for the team to be coached “in a different style, with more effective communication’” St Bernards beat Collegians by a point in its last outing to hold eighth place with four wins and seven losses.

Mitchell was a 2002 A-grade premiership winner with the Snowdogs and coached Old Geelong Grammarians from 2009 to 2011.

St Bernards plays Old Carey (10th, 1-10) at Carey Sports Complex in Bulleen from 2pm on Saturday.

GALLANT EAGLES win relegation battle EDFL

Saturday shaped as a must-win game for Craigieburn to prevent consecutive relegations — and the Eagles delivered with a 64-point win against Westmeadows.

The Eagles climbed off the bottom of Essendon District Football League division 1 with the 21.20 (146) to 13.4 (82) victory at Willowbrook Reserve.

Seventh-placed Craigieburn (2-10, 64 per-cent) now has the edge on Westmeadows (eighth, 2-10, 54) while sixth-placed West Coburg (3-9) is still only a win further ahead.

The Eagles led by just a point at quarter time but broke away with seven goals to three in the second term.

Nicholas Fletcher kicked six and best afield Brent Gordon four, while Shane Jacobs, Shannon Bennett and Chris Degiorgio were other better Eagles.

Jarrod Fenton, Nicholas Cook and five-goal Daniel Callegari were better players for Westmeadows.

At the top of the table, Tullamarine maintained its half-game advantage with a 44-point win against Hadfield.

The Hawks led by five points at quarter time but failed to kick a goal in the second quarter and Tullamarine’s five unanswered were the launchpad for the 15.10 (100) to 8.8 (56) win.

Tullamarine and second-placed Northern Saints now have a break on the competition after the latter downed third-placed Glenroy by a goal.

The Saints led by 31 points at three quarter time, only for Glenroy to roar back into the match in a wild final quarter.

The Roys kicked 10 goals and Northern Saints six in the final term, with scores level late before the Saints notched the match-winning major.

Ali Abou-Eid kicked six goals for the Saints and Nat Caruso four, while Fort Caruso, Fidaa Ahmed and Michael Simioni were other better players.

Aaron Kite led Glenroy’s goalscoring with

five while Brenton Faulkner and Jake Piggott were best.

In the weekend’s other match, Taylors Lakes left the door open for a West Coburg comeback after leading by 46 at half time, but still ran out 16.12 (108) to 13.9 (87) winners.

Mark Xuereb kicked five goals for Taylors Lakes and Matt Morelli was best, while Meki Lilino and Luke Tolliday were best for West Coburg.

Abdikane Fitaax made his return to the West Coburg seniors after serving an 11-game suspension over two incidents in last year’s division 1 grand final.

In division 2, Moonee Valley’s narrow loss to Keilor Park has left a small window of opportunity in the last six rounds of the season for the chasing pack to pinch second place and a double chance .

The Valley lost 10.16 (76) to Keilor Park 12.9 (81) at Ormond Park.

Moonee Valley (second, 9-3) still enjoys a two-game cushion from East Keilor and Roxburgh Park (both 7-5).

Roxburgh Park challenged Hillside after quarter time but could not overcome a slow start which had the Sharks ahead 38-7 at the first change.

Mark Micallef and Richard Psaila were Hillside’s best in the 13.14 (92) to 8.8 (56) win, while Carlos Ardon and Justin Blackley were among the best for Roxburgh Park.

East Keilor shook off Jacana after half time and finished with seven unanswered goals to win 22.18 (150) to 10.9 (69).

Dion Hill kicked five goals for East Keilor and best afield Vincent Madaffari four.

Elsewhere, Coburg Districts 36.23 (239) thrashed East Sunbury 6.2 (38). \ Teo Pellizzeri next round \ This Saturday, 2.15pm Division 1 \ Craigieburn v Glenroy, Tullamarine v Westmeadows, Taylors Lakes v Northern Saints, West Coburg v Hadfield Division 2 \ Hillside v Moonee Valley, Keilor Park v Jacana, Roxburgh Park v East Sunbury, East Keilor v Coburg Districts.
