Winter woollies trump power bills that there would be so many other people in the same position and we are powerless to do anything.”

Ms Mullally said she considered solar panels but can’t afford the thousands of dollars it would cost to install.

A spokeswoman for Victorian Housing Minister Wendy Lovell said that people living in public housing in Victoria had their rent subsidised

by Victorian taxpayers and paid a maximum of 25 per cent of their household income in rent.

She said the Department of Housing undertakes two annual

75

reviews of public housing rent payments, in February and August.

She said as the review in February was conducted before the introduction of the clean energy supplement, the next review in August would take into consideration the new payment.

“The clean energy supplement is being included as accessible income in the calculation of tenants’ rents as of August on the basis it is paid to assist households with everyday living expenses, of which rent is one component,” the spokeswoman said.

VAL Mullally hasn’t turned her heater on once this winter. At night she uses an old torch to manoeuvre her way around the house.

She keeps warm sitting huddled in an armchair, a blanket wrapped tightly around her.

If its cold enough she might turn an old electric blanket on, but the cool draughts in her old, uninsulated home still chill her bones. She watches the television for only a few hours a day, afraid her next power bill will be higher than the last.

Earlier this year, the federal government boosted pension payments for singles by $35.80 a fortnight, but more than half of this payment is a clean energy supplement to compensate for the carbon tax which has left pensioners struggling to afford the cost of living. “[The pension boost] was given to us to by the federal government to help us with our power costs but state government take it from us,” she said. “It has got to the point where I am considering switching my gas off because I just can’t afford the cost of living along with the extra costs of the carbon tax. I’m living in darkness.’’

The Essendon pensioner, who lives in public housing, says a portion of the pension boost is taken by the state government to pay rent for the home she’s lived in for 20 years.

She says that as a public housing tenant she is forced to pay 25 per cent of her weekly income to the Department of Housing and as the cash boost is classified as “accessible income” a slice of it immediately goes towards her weekly rent, leaving her with around $7 a week to go towards her energy costs. Ms

Mullally said that in the past year alone her rent had increased by $16 a week and her electricity bill by $40 and her gas bill by another $30.

This time last year, she says, the electricity bill was $115, but the most recent power bill she received from February through to May this year was more than $160.

“I’m afraid to use the lights because I worry how much power is being used and I’m afraid to use any type of heating because I wouldn’t be able to afford a power bill that costs any more that what it does now. The worst part of it all is

Doing it tough: Val Mullally says the recent pension rise means nothing to public housing tenants like herself because of higher energy bills and rent increases.

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM TWO Moonee Valley police officers are preparing for a challenging expedition along the 96-kilometre Kokoda Track.

Constable Dominic Alderman and Sergeant Paul Topham, from Moonee Ponds police station, will lead 20 year 11 students from St Bernard’s College and Mount Alexander Secondary College on a seven-day adventure through the Owen Stanley Range in Papua New Guinea.

They will be joined by former Moonee Valley inspector Nigel Howard, Assistant Commissioner Wendy Steendam, six police officers, two paramedics, two teachers and more than a dozen Moonee Valley sponsors and business owners.

The Kokoda concept began in 2007. It was created by Inspector Howard to break down barriers between police and youth in Moonee Valley’s south. It has grown into a program that fosters young leaders and allows students from different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds to bond.

Sergeant Topham, 36, says participants in this year’s annual trek are training with weekly walks up and down Mount Macedon, stairclimbing at the flats in Flemington and trekking in the hills around St Bernard’s College.

He says he was inspired to embark on the gruelling adventure to challenge himself physically and to create relationships with young people living in Moonee Valley.

“It’s a great opportunity for the young people involved to be able to complete something that seemed impossible at the start,’’ he says.

“Its also about building positive relationships with police and creating friendships with other youth who may be of a different socioeconomic background and who they may not have met otherwise.

“It’s about bringing people from all walks of life in the community together for a lifechanging experience.”

Sergeant Topham also hopes the trekkers will learn more about the mateship, courage and sacrifice of the Australian soldiers who walked the track in World War II.

aving not considered he’d ever noticed them, you can imagine my surprise when my brother-in-law suggested he pop round to polish my headlights.

Say what?

“Well,” says he, “I noticed the other day your car headlights looked kind of cloudy.”

Now, I admit the lacklustre puddles of light that lately seemed to stop short a foot in front of the car had me perplexed. I’d been inclined to blame my failing eyeballs.

But, the old B-i-L knew better and had now apparently bought some special “headlight polish” to fix the problem.

I might have been sceptical, but there was that time my car simply stopped dead on the wrong side of Goondiwindi (Gundi as the locals know it) near the New South WalesQueensland border.

There were no mobiles then, or at least none that would easily fit in the boot of a beige Cortina.

So with the aid of a cleft stick and a passing motorist, someone from the nearest garage was prevailed upon to attend.

After a cursory look at the engine he’d drawled: “It will be the harmonic balancer, love, you’ll have to stay the night in Gundi.”

Honestly, I thought he was having a lend of me.

Really? It’s not one of the chakras of my radiator aura, I’d sniped.

Lucky he didn’t leave me there.

So, I was more than willing to believe in headlight polish. It turned out to be very illuminating.

What’s it called, this special headlight stuff, I wondered, being once more able to dazzle more than the smallest rodent.

Toothpaste, says he with a grin, the enwhitening kind.

Police set sights on Kokoda

On track: Constable Dominic Alderman and Sergeant Paul Topham are leading the challenge.

Constable Alderman, 40, only recently joined the Moonee Ponds police station after moving from the UK three years ago.

He says the trek will teach young people leadership skills and the importance of looking out for others. “A great aspect of it is that it shows young adults that police are real people and that we are approachable,” he says.

Constable Alderman says the biggest challenge of the week will be the first day.

“We have been practising walking with 29-kilogram backpacks,” he says. “But on our

first day, everybody is expected to undertake a 10 to 12-hour trek, all uphill, in 35-degree heat. Sometimes it can take up to 14 hours, so if we have any stragglers it is vital everybody is looking out for others because we are all working together to achieve the same goal.”

The group will set off on June 21 and return to Australia on July 1.

Once again, the Weekly will follow the Kokoda trip every step of the way through online diary updates via satellite phone.

Plight of homeless inspires cold night out rescue a woman and her children who were living in their car on Keilor Road.

“There are women ringing our office daily because they are living in their car, in boarding houses or in a friend’s lounge room,” she said.

“For some of these families there may be a baby sleeping in a box or inside a drawer. It’s happening in Melbourne every night and it is reality for many families.”

Ms Cooney said that without housing programs run through organisations such as St Vincent de Paul, many families would go without a home. “The reason I am doing it is to create awareness of the wonderful work St Vincent de Paul does.”

So far she has raised almost $2000, but she hopes to have raised $5000 by the end of the week.

A MOONEE Ponds homelessness advocate is preparing to brave the winter cold and spend the night sleeping at Etihad Stadium in a bid to raise awareness of suburban poverty.

On Thursday night, Caroline Chisholm Society chief executive Helen Cooney will take part in the St Vincent de Paul CEO Sleepout.

Regardless of weather conditions, Cooney, along with hundreds of other business leaders across Melbourne, will sleep under the stars with only a sleeping bag and piece of cardboard to keep her warm.

Ms Cooney said she was inspired to take part in the fund-raiser to raise awareness of the more than 2000 women and children who seek assistance from the society every year.

More than 75 per cent of these families are from Melbourne’s western suburbs.

Lawyers urge safeguards for racial profiling

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM A MOONEE Valley legal centre is calling for the ethnicity of people searched by police to be monitored following the release of a UK report that found such monitoring could reduce racial bias in policing.

Flemington Kensington Community Legal Centre executive officer Anthony Kelly said the findings of the Stop and Think Again report were increasing pressure on Victorian Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay to introduce stop and search receipting.

Late last year, Mr Lay agreed with

an Office of Police Integrity review of the force’s stop and search powers.

It found that Victoria Police should wait until receipting has proven effective in other jurisdictions before undertaking similar reforms.

A policy on receipting would mean police would fill out a form every time they stopped and searched a person, outlining details such as the ethnicity of the person and reason for them being stopped.

Mr Kelly said the report provided “conclusive evidence” that when police forces took action to monitor and reduce racial profiling through stop and search receipting and data

collection, it could be effective.

“The Stop and Think Again report proves that when racial profiling is reduced, police are not only more effective at solving crime but are more trusted by the communities in which they work,” he said.

Mr Kelly said the report revealed that five major police forces in the UK saw a reduction in crime rates after following a program initiated by the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission, including using receipting. He said there should be a focus on an intelligence-based use of stop and search powers rather than one based on racial stereotypes.

In February this year, the Weekly reported that a racial discrimination battle between a group of young African-Australian men from Flemington and Victoria Police was settled in the Federal Court.

The case stemmed from allegations of six young men who were regularly stopped by police, mostly in Flemington and North Melbourne, for no legitimate policing reason and were subjected to assaults, racial taunts and abuse in 2007. The legal centre’s principal solicitor, Tamar Hopkins, who represented the six men, has urged Victoria Police to adopt new policy.

“This report really shows that there are genuine solutions that make a difference that have been adopted around the world,” she said.

“It is extremely crucial that Victoria Police take a look at these international strategies and use them to provide a direction forward.

Cabbies told to toe the line M

elbourne Airport management has had more than two decades to resolve taxi driver issues over the short-fare queuing system. And, unlike Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane airports, it still hasn’t got it right.

Weary air travellers trying to get a cab to take them home to Essendon, Strathmore, Airport West, East Keilor and neighbouring suburbs will well understand the cabbies’ frustration, which has now led to continuing industrial action at the busy terminal.

The short-term queuing system, the drivers say, was working well until airport management pulled the plug after discovering 200 drivers were rorting the system daily.

Its response to the rorting has been to abandon the short-fare queuing process, which means cab drivers now have to rejoin the two-hour queue at the terminal, after having accepted a short-term fare to neighbouring suburbs.

That’s hardly a step forward to help the drivers, who take out their frustration on the passengers: they speed, brake hard and turn

corners with screeching tyres making for an uncomfortable, and at times dangerous, ride home. Some cry poor and even abuse their passengers.

One quiet Sunday morning, an Essendon father and his two young children were ordered out of a cab. Despite the persistent father politely telling the driver he was required to accept the fare, the stalemate continued and the passengers reluctantly left the cab.

The taxi industry’s response to his complaint involved lengthy consultation with Victorian Taxi Association staff followed by a wasted day in court when the driver failed to appear to answer charges.

Not worth the effort.

The association’s advice to locals wanting a cab was to head upstairs to the arrivals level and collect a cab dropping off passengers.

Cab drivers mostly didn’t mind picking up a short fare since they were not obligated to return to the queue.

That worked well for all parties but was ultimately disallowed.

“It is as though people with disabilities only have them during the week and not on the weekend. But you can’t let yourself get too worked up about it; you just have to accept that until people’s attitudes change .

That is just the way it is.”

Mr Hogan said there was a need for more disabled parking spaces to be made available in Moonee Valley.

Moonee Valley chief executive officer Neville Smith said the penalty for drivers caught parking illegally in disabled car spaces was $140, but this was expected to rise to $144 next financial year.

Mr Smith said the penalty figure was set annually by the Department of Treasury and Finance, and was updated on July 1 each year.

‘I don’t know if it’s ignorance or just lack of awareness ... those parking spaces are marked disabled for a reason’

supplied

AT LEAST 14 drivers are illegally parking in disabled car parks every week in Moonee Valley, figures reveal.

Council figures show that to date this financial year, 703 people have been caught parking in disabled car spaces compared with 893 last financial year.

The figures equate to more than $100,000 in fines.

East Keilor resident Vaughn Hogan, 36, has used a modified van to drive since he was seriously injured in a motorbike accident in 2007.

The father of two said the figure could be much higher, with many drivers leaving undetected by parking officers.

Mr Hogan told the Weekly he had often been forced to turn around and drive home when drivers illegally parked in disabled parking bays.

“That’s the reality of it for people with a disability,” he said. “If I’m with family or friends then I can usually find a way around it with

their help, but if I’m by myself there are plenty of times I’ve just had to turn around and go home.

“I don’t know if it’s ignorance or just lack of awareness but people just don’t seem to understand the impact this can have on people with disabilities, or that those parking spaces are marked disabled for a reason to help people who would otherwise not be able to get around.”

Mr Hogan said there had also been more than one occasion when a driver had cut him off and parked in a disabled parking spot.

“I was going to a concert for my daughters at the Moonee Ponds town hall and there were only two disabled parking spots at the venue and this driver who didn’t have a disability just pulled into the park in front of me,” he said.

“I said to him, ‘Mate is it all right if you move parking spaces because I really need to park there’ but he wouldn’t budge and he actually said, ‘It’s the weekend I’m allowed to park here’. Ignorant attitudes like that are really frustrating.

Time to reflect: Nick Belvedere at his favourite neighbourhood retreat.

I’d love to see Union Road made a tourist attraction. We have more than 100,000 people coming here during the Spring Racing Carnival, and have

a unique village atmosphere where visitors can take the Horseshoe Walk of Fame, soak up the atmosphere of the racing tradition and enjoy service from smaller, more personal shops.

What change would you never want to see?

I’d hate to see the ‘big boys’ come into Union Road. We have something special here, businesses mostly owned and run by families, and I believe having a local shopping strip keeps the area focused on community.

It would have to be when I was nominated for a Spirit of Moonee Valley award – and I ended up getting a ‘meritorious award’. That meant a great deal to me and I felt humbled to receive it.

Adam Bull tells Robert Fedele about his journey from the back streets of Laverton to international acclaim.

supplied

n a rare moment of downtime, principal artist Adam Bull kindly obliges to a request for a brief tour of the Australian Ballet’s Southbank headquarters.

Cheerful and polite, Bull plays the role of gracious host perfectly, zigzagging his way through hallways as though he is proudly showing someone around his family home.

At 194 centimetres and with curly blonde locks, he commands attention even when not performing.

Today he’s dressed down in grey tracksuit pants and a white singlet, barefoot but for black socks so his precious feet can take a well earned breather.

It’s not long before Bull is momentarily stopped in his tracks. ‘‘Good to see you back,’’ whispers a woman passing by, her face flushed with admiration.

Bull later unmasks his admirer as Ann Jenner, now a teacher with the ballet company but once a principal ballerina with London’s Royal Ballet and a star of yesteryear.

He goes on to explain how he has just returned home after performing the Sydney leg of the company’s latest ballet, Vanguard.

The passing pleasantries continue and it quickly becomes evident that Bull is somewhat of a big deal around here.

The excursion resumes, passing several identical studio spaces before we stop, peering through a rectangular window at the door numbered six.

Inside is a cluster of teenage boys wearing blue leotards, their taut bodies twisting in unison to the delicate sounds of a piano which is heard but not seen.

For Bull, the picture is like looking through a crystal ball transporting him back to his childhood. ‘‘It doesn’t feel that long ago that I was down there as a student,’’ he beams. ‘‘It’s surreal sometimes to take a look back at where you’ve come from. It’s a big journey.’’

He’s often dubbed Australia’s version of Billy Elliot due to his working-class roots.

Bull’s story begins in the late 1980s when he was a little tacker at Laverton Primary School.

His grade 1 teacher, Janine Kip, the woman he counts as his inspiration, pushed him into ballet.

Back then neither Bull, nor his family, knew anything of ballet and he jokes that Kip presumably must have seen him jumping around the staff room. ‘‘She saw something in me and encouraged my family to take me to dance lessons. I don’t know what it was that she saw.’’

Kip remembers Bull as a happy-go-lucky kid who would dance on the playground asphalt and turn heads. ‘‘He was out there in the elements with an extension cord and the school’s PA system and he did Michael Jackson’s Man in the Mirror with his little chair and sparkly top.’’

Bull would soon take to ballet like a duck to water at Brian Nolan Academy of Dance, studying under the former Australian Ballet member at his Werribee studio.

He remembers his old stomping ground being wedged between a mechanic’s workshop and a karate school.

Nolan he recalls as strict but fair, a teacher from the school of hard knocks. ‘‘He was hard. He was a really tough teacher for a little suburban ballet school. But he taught me a lot and got me to a level where I thought, wow, I can do this’.’’

Nolan makes no apologies for his methods and reckons a bit of tough love gets the best out of his pupils.

When Bull, a skinny, gawky kid, walked in the door Nolan immediately knew he had something special to work with.

Bull took to it ‘‘possessed’’, he says, and had a unique demeanour, carrying himself with elegance and pride. ‘‘I knew from his very first class at seven years old that he was going to be good. By the following year I remember boasting to teachers at ballet competitions that he was potentially that good that he would be a principal with the Australian Ballet one day. The teachers laughed at me, but I knew what I was talking about.’’

Still, even the naturals need prodding.

Nolan spent 11 years with Bull, honing his craft for a distant tomorrow, right up until he waved goodbye and set off for the Australian Ballet at age 17.

Nolan counts himself lucky to have taught Bull then Valerie Tereshchenko, also with the Australian Ballet, and now Milei Lee, an eightyear-old prodigy he believes will outshine them all. ‘‘It is said that we only get one extraordinary student in our lifetime and I thought after Adam there would not be any more but I was fortunate,’’ Nolan says. ‘‘They all have that special thing about them that one can’t describe and put into words that

is envied by all around them.’’

Bull leapt across to the Australian Ballet in his teens and has remained a staple of the company, which is held in high regard worldwide.

The tight-knit group of 70-odd dancers performs about 180 shows a year.

In 2008, Bull was promoted to the highest ballet rank in the country, becoming a principal artist with the Australian Ballet.

Even now, five years on, he’s still both chuffed and humbled by the title. ‘‘You never rest and go ‘yeah I’ve made it!’.

Where I am now, people go, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a principal of the Australian ballet’. But I don’t sit back and say I’ve done all the hard work. Every day it gets harder and harder.’’

True to his word, Bull’s schedule seems like the very definition of hard work.

It is mid-morning and he’s already taking a break from pilates and stretching in the upstairs gym.

There’s a ballet class from 10.30am to noon, rehearsals from noon to 2.30pm, then lunch and more rehearsals until well into the evening.

This routine takes place six days a week and intensifies even further during a performance’s season – not that dancers always have the luxury of concentrating on one performance at a time.

Right now Bull is rolling out Vanguard while also preparing for Swan Lake just around the corner.

Is it worth it? ‘‘It’s too much work for it not to be,’’ Bull retorts. ‘‘If you didn’t love it you couldn’t put your body through what we do.’’

With the company, he has travelled overseas regularly, performing in Paris, London, Tokyo, and a week in New York last year when the company performed Swan Lake.

Bull is reluctant to pluck out a highlight from life on the road but says the New York show stands out. ‘’My mum had never seen me dance overseas before. She came over and saw me. It was really emotional. The audience response, as soon as the curtains went down, they all went crazy.’’

Asked about the feeling on stage, Bull says each performance produces a different vibe. ‘‘I still get nervous. Twenty years later, before every show, I still get butterflies. There’s always doubts in your head. But once you hit the stage you just lose yourself. ‘‘Sometimes you’re on a high and loving it.

Sometimes you’re sore and injured, but you still have to go out and deliver to 3000 people.’’

Bull concedes ballet is a cut-throat world but says for the most part dancers are supportive of each other, even though there is always someone who can step into your shoes. ‘‘The pressure comes more from within yourself. You’re always so hard on yourself.

You come off stage and you can always do better. You’re never happy. ‘‘Even though they’re all beautiful people [fellow dancers], there is a silent competitiveness. We’re all pushing for the same roles. So there’s all these things behind your shoulder but not in an evil, scary way.’’

For Bull, it is time, not other dancers, with whom he must compete.

At 31 he is nearer to the end of his performing career than the beginning, the wear and tear on his body making its presence felt.

‘‘We’re so reliant on our body and being able to be in peak form. And, just like that, anything can go,” he says. ‘‘It’s always in the back of my head. If I have another five years – great. If I have 10, that would be ridiculously good. I take every day as it is and hope it’s not my last.’’

Pressed about the future, Bull reckons coaching at the Australian Ballet wouldn’t be such a bad gig. ‘‘I push it out of my head sometimes, but I do have to think about it. You have made such a commitment at such a young age. It’s all I know. It’s quite scary. ‘‘Just to pass on what I’ve been taught would be a great gift.’’

Outside of ballet, Bull is a travel and adventure junkie.

He’s already visited the Antarctic, and the Galapagos Islands are next on the horizon.

Who knows where life will take him next.

What is certain is that the boy from workingclass Laverton grew up to be a star, as many had predicted.

But at home he’s just the same old Adam. ‘‘I’m going to mum and dad’s tonight,’’ he smiles. ‘‘I haven’t seen them since I’ve been back.

Mum and dad always put on a spread. She asked last night, ‘What do you want for tea?’

I said, ‘I don’t care, mum. Whatever you’re making is fine’.’’

Students to pitch for organ donor switch

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM SIX students from St Bernard’s College will take their bid to change organ donation policy to Parliament House.

The year 10 and 11 legal studies students will join the annual Victoria Youth Parliament Program, competing against 20 teams from all over Victoria next month.

Team leader Jarrod Grech, 16, said the students were debating the concept of the state government introducing an opt-out organ donation system in Victoria.

He said the opt-out system would involve registering all Victorians as organ and tissue donors until or if they elect to opt out.

The group was inspired by legislation passed in Belgium in 2007 that saw organ donation double within three years.

“It’s time to do something about the many people who die waiting for a transplant,” Jarrod said. “All of us are interested in politics and we wanted to debate a proposed law that could make a meaningful difference to the lives of Victorians.”

Young voices: (clockwise from back left) Hollan Morrell, William Harris, Luke Saville, Liam Sardea, Jarrod Grech, Michael Healey.

Since the program started 27 years ago, more than 25 bills that have passed the youth parliament have gone on to become Victorian legislation, including drug testing for drivers and replacing glass with plastic in nightclubs to prevent glass-related violence.

The program is run by YMCA Victoria.

The students will meet from July 1 to 4 at Parliament House, Spring Street, East Melbourne.

The sleek, dark and edgy exterior of Collins & Queen, a $50 million development for Essendon North village, will be matched by interiors inspired by Melbourne’s hottest restaurants.

D

esigned and developed by BPM Construction and Development Group (BPM), Collins & Queen provides design-conscious buyers with an opportunity to enjoy cutting-edge architecture and design at prices starting from $299,500.

The development includes a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments in two buildings, of four and seven levels, with a large north-facing frontage and retail outlets on Keilor Road and further frontages on Collins and Queen streets.

BPM managing director Jonathan Hallinan says the elegant industrial-styled interiors were inspired by restaurants such as Chin Chin in Flinders Lane.

Renowned for creating award-winning Bayside developments since 1996, BPM has recently expanded into Melbourne’s inner north and Brisbane’s West End. Hallinan says Essendon shares similarities with Bayside as an expensive suburb with

premium housing and residents incorporating high-end design in their lives.

“We’re passionate about great architecture.

We want Collins & Queen to become an iconic building for Essendon – it’s young and inspirational; its design is relevant to the way people live.”

The building’s smooth, curved exteriors will be rendered, tiled and glazed in shades of charcoal, contrasting with raw textured concrete panels defining the five retail outlets on Keilor Road. An impressive entrance lobby will use natural basalt stone, oak timber flooring and contemporary light fittings and furnishings.

Hallinan says BPM places as much emphasis on apartment interiors as on the building’s exterior design.

Buyers can choose from light and dark interior palettes: matte black or white powdercoated metal screens, fittings and tapware, black or white stone benchtops, charcoal or

light grey bathroom tiling, and charcoal or white overhead kitchen cupboards.

Apartments include a range of layouts with one or two bathrooms, with internal sizes ranging from 52 to 84 square metres and balconies from five to 16 square metres.

Kitchens feature walls of white brick ceramic tiles with matte powder-coated metal screens and framed glass shelving, pale grey engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, whitewashed oak laminate joinery, Smeg stainless-steel gas cooktops, under-bench ovens and rangehoods, and Fisher & Paykel dish drawers.

The open-plan kitchen, meals and dining area has full height matte black metal-framed floor to ceiling glazing, sliding open to balconies. Full-height white brick ceramic tiling is also used in bathrooms, with large format tiling across the floor and shower wall and metal framed shower screens matching with powder-coated tapware, shower and bathroom fittings. A solid surface square-cut basin is set

inside a metal frame surrounding the vanity, mirror and a feature pendant.

Bedrooms and living areas are carpeted in a light grey loop pile, with the opportunity to upgrade to timber flooring in living areas.

Split system airconditioning units in living areas provide heating and cooling, with heating panels in bedrooms. The apartments have a six-star energy rating, with solar-boosted gas hot water. All apartments have a parking space and storage compartment in the secure basement garage, and there’s an intercom system for visitors.

Landscape architects Zenith Concepts have designed community facilities, including a bocce court, garden, barbecue facilities, outdoor seating and tables and plantings.

A third of the apartments have sold since the development’s late-April release, predominantly to owner occupiers. Construction starts early next year and is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2015.

Are you a social, utility or connoisseur coffee drinker?

Connecting over a coffee

By Rebecca Miller

hile studying a mechanical engineering degree David Seng worked as a barista. He loved the coffee industry so much that he stayed on, even after finishing his course. Mr Seng now teaches at a Melbourne coffee-making school, sharing his passion with fellow coffee lovers. ‘‘Melbourne is the coffee capital of Australia. I was a barista for six years and now solely teach coffee-making skills. My career has even led me to teach in Singapore.’’

Mr Seng has won multiple awards at the Victorian and Australian barista championships, proving he’s a man who knows his coffee.

Many Melburnians enjoy multiple cups of coffee daily and Mr Seng believes caffeine-drinkers fall into three categories. ‘‘There’s the ‘utility coffee-drinker’, a person who consumes coffee solely for the caffeine hit; the ‘social coffee-drinker’ who enjoys coffee for its social connection, catching up with friends over a few of the hot beverages; and a ‘coffee connoisseur’, who wants to know all about the

coffee they are drinking, where it came from, how it’s roasted and what makes it so good.’’

Mr Seng says there are a few things to keep in mind when looking for good quality coffee or when making one. ‘‘Freshly ground coffee is best, preferably ground within the past few minutes. The supermarket variety is often fully oxidised and stale so most of the flavours would have evaporated. Heating the milk to the correct temperature and using the right amount of coffee are also imperative to creating an enjoyable drink.’’

According to Mr Seng, single-origin coffee is the most popular kind in Melbourne at the moment. This unblended variety, particularly in the form of an espresso, is well liked.

For non-coffee drinkers, it’s best to ease their way into drinking the beverage rather than going for something with an intense flavour. ‘‘A milky coffee such as a flat white or caffe latte, something that is not too strong flavoured, is a good place to start,’’ Mr Seng says.

Take me to the river iverside Kitchen & Events in Ascot Vale has launched its new winter menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, each hearty meal featuring produce sourced from across Victoria.

Share plates are another innovation, designed to give customers a taste of the goodies classically trained head chef Adrian Kosylo delivers with flair gained from years of fine dining and hotel experience.

“Share plates are a great option for people wanting a snack or something to enjoy with a drink,” Kosylo says. “We have a good variety that includes the likes of grilled tiger prawn cutlets with hoi sin glaze, served with an Asian salad; or wood-roasted flatbread with beetroot and hummus dips.”

Kosylo delivers a Mediterranean theme in his pea and fontina cheese arancini, served with a smoked pepper mayonnaise; the penne tossed with slow-roasted field mushrooms, peas, goat’s cheese and rosemary; and Turkish bread surrounding roasted vegies, spinach and feta, served with a side of housemade chips.

Modern Aussie comes to the fore in the main course stars of grilled salmon fillet, served with garlic green beans, smashed potato and a caper and tomato salsa; or seared beef cosying up to roasted peppers and kipfler potatoes.

Sweet finishers are a constantly changing temptation. Try lemon curd in shortcrust pastry, served with a berry compote; or a warm chocolate torte with a side of vanilla ice cream and crumbled honeycomb.

The modern bistro also caters for functions in its purpose-built room.

“We host all kinds of events,” says manager Rebecca Voce, “from boutique markets and yoga sessions to weddings, engagement parties and family celebrations. Menus are tailored to suit our guests’ requirements.”

Riverside Kitchen & Events, at 55-75 Newsom Street, Ascot Vale, opens for breakfast and lunch daily; dinner Fridays and Sundays. Inquiries: 9326 0525 or riversideevents.com.au.

WE lOvE IT

I

f you’ve been looking for the chance to break into the Ascot Vale property market, then you cannot go past this three-bedroom family residence. All the hard work has been done for you, so all you need to do is move in. This beautifully renovated Edwardian house is incredibly spacious and has offered the owner a high level of comfort for almost 10 years.

It is set in a convenient location near Ormond Park, the Maribyrnong River trail and Puckle Street. As daunting as Ormond Road might appear in the Melway, with CityLink so breathtakingly close, it does offer a pleasant amble past houses of a mostly Edwardian vintage on the edge of the Travancore estate. The spot will tantalise anyone who covets good road links – as might many tradies, especially when they see the enormous backyard and brick workshop that runs the width of the yard behind this demure dwelling.

Built of weatherboard with a tiled roof and set well back in a garden full of maples and roses, the double-fronted house is a jaunty mixture of Edwardian style on a late-Victorian layout, with a central hall offering a rifle range from fore to aft (mind the dainty fretwork arch).

Each room has been meticulously renovated and now features snow-white-coloured walls. Old floors have been replaced with polished hardwood in the hall and the open-plan living and dining area. The white laminate kitchen is new and has an Australian-made Chef gas oven and cooktop, soft-closing drawers and ample cupboards below and overhead. The new bathroom, too, is a blizzard of white on dark grey floor tiles, and has a Caroma bowl basin and a shower above the bath. A door opens to a little porch for those days when sunshine is the best hairdryer.

Adjoining the kitchen, the living and dining area has original casement windows and sprawls out to an elevated deck with a built-in barbecue. Completing the comfortable accommodation are three double bedrooms, all with high, bevelled skirting boards, casements and plenty of room for built-in wardrobes. One has air-conditioning. But lest we think all quirks of the intervening century have been expunged, the largest bedroom retains its rare 1940s ceramic gas heater – and it still works splendidly.

What makes this property truly distinctive, however, is its back yard – a combination of old-fashioned raised beds, tree-laden nooks and that astonishing workshop, sufficient to keep four cars cosy if the two carports are taken.

Alternatively, if you’re feeling crafty, this workshop can be easily set up as a studio or the ideal teen retreat.

The workshop needs attention to its fibreglass roof but otherwise is as solid as can be, with its concrete floor, four-tiered shelves and double-width garage door. Tinker, tailor, carpenter, car restoration expert? There’s probably room enough for all. Minutes from schools, shops, bike lanes and transport, it really doesn’t get much better than this. \ ALISON BARCLAY property@theweeklyreview.com.au

The elegantly landscaped front garden indicates what to expect inside this well-maintained brick-veneer house. Ornate ceiling roses, decorative cornices and timber picture rails feature throughout the updated art-deco bungalow. Although the current owners modernised 18 years ago, the renovations stand the test of time with polished floorboards and a neutral colour scheme lending interiors a timeless appeal. The central hall is flanked by three equally generous bedrooms on one side with the lounge and dining room flowing into a large kitchen and meals area on the other. The bathroom is in the centre of the house, lit by a stylish glass-brick window. The large laundry at the rear leads to the separate toilet. At the rear a private courtyard with covered area is the ideal spot for a morning coffee or a barbecue, and an automatic garage caps off the exterior. Ducted heating, evaporative cooling and alarm add to the property’s value and McNamara Avenue shops, transport and schools are conveniently nearby. \ sarah moore

auction \ June 22 at 11am

Those starting out – or even ending – their real-estate journey might want to check out this three-bedroom property. A black and white tiled entrance opens to the cosy lounge. The house has been updated, but several features have been retained, including the art-deco ceiling roses and a substantial mantel over a gas log fireplace in the lounge. Elaborate, quality curtains frame the lounge’s large picture window and are also featured elsewhere throughout the house. A cutaway opens to the dining room, which in turn opens to the updated kitchen. Past the central kitchen, two bedrooms downstairs each have built-in wardrobes. Upstairs, another bedroom (also with built-in wardrobes) could be set up as a second living area or hobby room. Outside, the courtyard has a paved and covered dining area and the garden includes a grapefruit tree laden with fruit. If more space is needed, Alf Pearce Park is nearby. The house also has an automatic lock-up garage. It is close to the Napier Street shops, CityLink and Strathmore Secondary College. \ jan fisher

maribyrNONg \ 10 The esplanade Inspired by the art series hotel The Cullen, this DBD Space house exudes a luxuriant ambience. The quality fittings and fixtures here include superior imported products, commercial-grade materials and natural materials such as stone and timber that inject warmth into the grey and white interior and exterior palette.

Bluestone tiling from the front gate continues inside creating great continuity. The ground floor houses the four-car garage with internal access, laundry, bathroom, one bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a large media/rumpus room. Elba marble and Gessi Italian tapware are used in the laundry and are repeated in the bathrooms and kitchen. The large rumpus room features electronically controlled Blum cabinetry in a timber veneer that adds texture.

A wall of casement windows reveals the outdoor entertainment area, the black-tiled lap pool with heated spa and a cantilevered pavilion with timber-lined wall.

Upstairs has a different tone with engineered oak floors, built-in cabinets in a soft grey, and plush carpet. Full-height doors highlight the 3.2-metre ceilings. A skylight offsets a wall of timber slats over the staircase.

Two balconies bookend this floor and ensure bright spaces. The streamlined kitchen and butler’s pantry are extravagant combining Elba marble, corian stone and integrated Miele appliances. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

A business 2 zoning creates opportunities for this long block with rear right-of-way just off Buckley Street. The free-standing Federation house is solid, but fixtures and fittings have dated since the last renovation in the ’70s; think lino floors and Formica benchtops in the kitchen. Red-roofed and gabled, the weatherboard façade has wooden fretwork over a concrete-based verandah. Rooms are big and high ceilings have pressed-metal detail. Salmon-coloured skirting boards and door frames offset cream walls in the wide, central hall. The lounge room has taffeta drapes, lace scrims and a gas heater; fireplaces in all three bedrooms could be restored to working order. The kitchen and meals area has timber-fronted cabinetry, the bathroom has a shower and a bath, and the outhouse laundry has a concrete washboard. Taking up the remainder of the 482 squares, the backyard is basic with lawn and a clothesline. Ducted heating and proximity to Rose Street shops, Essendon station and schools make further work worthwhile (STCA). \ KAY KEIGHERY

A single-fronted brick house with brilliant bones built c1900 is an eye-catching proposition for real-estate dreamers with a hankering for a renovation project. In a row of properties of similar historic character opposite a park, it’s a house worthy of time and energy. The pluses are numerous: traditional Victorian worker’s cottage façade; original decorative fireplaces in two of the three bedrooms; an original leadlight feature door to the bathroom; a stunning brick open fireplace in the kitchen/meals space to tie in with an exposed-brick wall; double doors to a ramshackle backyard that holds so much promise. It has all the space a resident could need, including a separate family living area, an independent laundry and a single-car garage with right-of-way access from the back laneway. A makeover would take the house from solidly traditional to stylish surprise, though it is liveable in its current state. Extras include proximity to trams, the city, local shops, and Flemington Racecourse, positioned as it is on a quiet street off Racecourse Road. \ SARINA LEWIS

Directly opposite this house, Woodlands Park makes a fine front-yard extension with rotundas, barbecue facilities and a playground. It is a short stroll to Essendon North shopping village and trams, and a green walk to Moonee Ponds commercial hub. The functional floor plan of this single-level residence should suit young families and discerning downsizers. An off-street parking area sits beside the front lawn. Though it is semi-detached, all areas get great light due to two lightwells and window walls.

On entry, the carpeted lounge has an open fireplace. A cutaway connects this to the dining room, which has glass doors to the first lightwell. Next up, the kitchen adjoins a family and meals area, which has glass doors on both sides. Three bedrooms, a bathroom, separate toilet and laundry flank the rear hall. Second and third bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the bathroom offers bath and shower options. With a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite, the main bedroom opens to a paved terrace and sleeper-edged garden with shed. \ KAY KEIGHERY

KARATE ENROLMENT 4 YEARS PLUS Self Control Studies have shown that children who developed self-control at a very young age have a greater chance of success in life.

Our martial art training program highly emphasises not only selfcontrol but also designed to build self-confidence and self-respect, besides getting physically fit all year for other sports like Soccer and Footy.

Just hear what the other parents say…

“My Matthew and Chris have built up so much confidence in such a short time and are not shy anymore… thanks to Sensei” Linda, Mother “Oliver is such an active kid I didn’t know what to do with him, until I started him at Shogun. Now he is so much calmer.”

United’s storming finish a Valley consolation

By Teo Pellizzeri

SCOREBOARD

Darren Howe

Essendon United is back on course and pushing for promotion after winning on an otherwise disastrous weekend for the Moonee Valley clubs of FFV state league 4 west.

Essendon Royals and FC Strathmore both suffered defeats, leaving them closer to the drop zone than promotion places.

United scored three times in the last 20 minutes to beat Bell Park 3-0 on Saturday. Goals in quick succession from Robbie Pelle and Nathan Chapman gave United the upper hand after the visitors had held the game goalless for most of the contest.

The victory pushes United up to third, with 16 points, behind promotion-place teams Brunswick Zebras (second, 19) and runaway leader Corio (25).

United has won three in a row since being humbled 3-0 by Essendon Royals on May 18.

The Royals’ form has been in sharp decline, with Saturday’s trip to Geelong Rangers ending in a 4-1 defeat. The Royals had 10 points after the United derby but have picked up just one from nine since and now sit seventh on the table with 11 points, four above relegation and

eight off promotion.

FC Strathmore is deeper in the relegation mix after a 3-2 loss to Hoppers Crossing. After picking up just one point from its first six games,

the Crossing has rallied to climb out of the drop zone and sits behind FC Strathmore on goal difference only.

Strathmore (eight points, -3 goal difference) is ninth on the table

Spearhead pierces leader’s pride

INBRIEF VAFA Uni Blues kicked away from St Bernards after half-time to win by 37 points a vital game in Saturday’s relegation battle of VAFA Premier division. Uni Blues led by just two points at half-time but kicked five goals to none in the third term on the way to a 13.9 (87) to 7.8 (50) win.

Old Carey (1-8) sits 10th and last on the ladder, while Uni Blues (3-6, 77 per-cent) is still in the relegation zone. St Bernards (3-6, 89 per-cent) is eighth and in the lowest safe position.

Andrew Grosso was the Snowdogs’ only multiple goal-kicker, while better players in the defeat were Nick Cooke and Tom Sullivan. St Bernards is away from home again this weekend, at Banksia Reserve to face Beaumaris (seventh, 4-5). In Premier C, PEGS stayed within a win of the top four with a 24-point win against Oakleigh.

The Bombers were up by 48 points at the last change before Oakleigh more than doubled its score in the final quarter, with PEGS still winning 15.19 (109) to 13.7 (85). PEGS (5-4) is fifth, behind Ivanhoe and Marcellin, both 6-3. Chris Caminiti was PEGS’ best, while five-goal Daniel Flaherty, Josh Pound and Ryan Jones were other better players. PEGS hosts Peninsula (sixth, 4-5) this Saturday from 2pm.

The Lions trailed by only 14 points at half-time and were still down at the last change before kicking away to win 15.3 (93) to 11.16 (82) at Monk Oval.

The loss failed to knock Aberfeldie off the top of the ladder, its eightand-one record still ahead of fellow eight-and-one team Greenvale by just over seven percentage points.

Maribyrnong Park (5-4, 94 per cent) is now out of the top four only on percentage, albeit well behind the percentages of fellow five-and-four outfits Avondale Heights in fourth (127) and Airport West, fifth (111).

Spearhead Lachlan Thompson booted five goals for the Lions, while Marcus Smith was best afield.

Wayne Patak and Brayden Norris were Aberfeldie’s best. The Two Blues had no goal-kicker with more than two for the day.

Airport West 21.13 (139) d Keilor 15.7 (97) The Eagles continued their push for a finals berth by blowing away Keilor late in what was otherwise a close-fought contest.

AW was up by just 11 points at the last change. Marcus Kenny’s bag of nine goals led the charge as the Eagles piled on seven goals to two in the last term to blow out the final margin. Defender Tony Fulton, Sam Boyd and Clayton Rogers were Airport West’s best.

Jarrod Garth and Keilor’s best, Jason Williams, kicked three goals each.

Pascoe Vale (ninth, 2-7) is now two games clear of Oak Park (10th, 0-9) and within a game of Essendon Doutta Stars (eighth, 3-6) and Keilor (seventh, 3-6).

Patrick Rose kicked three for Avondale Heights, while Nathan Byrne and Stephen Tiller were best players.

Joining Gazzo as Greenvale’s best were David Sardo and Denis Bicer.

The Saints, averaging 136 points a game, enjoyed another high-scoring victory, 23.13 (151) to West Coburg 15.14 (104).

Fidaa Ahmed’s four goals was the biggest bag from seven multiple goal-kickers for the Saints.

TAC Cup Calder Cannons’ avenues to goal dried up on Saturday in a 47-point loss away to Bendigo Pioneers at Queen Elizabeth Oval, 13.11 (89) to 7.10 (52). Calder went goal-for-goal with Bendigo in the first term to lead by two points at quarter-time but managed just one major to six in the second and third quarters combined.

Rowing’s odd couple almost in perfect synch

By Teo Pellizzeri

Leaving for Lithuania: Essendon Rowing Club’s Tyron Boorman (front) and ANA Rowing Club’s Jack Cleary have teamed up to represent Australia.

Solo preparation is nowhere near as valuable for the pair as training together.

“When it comes to crew boats, combination is a very large portion of the success,” Cleary says.

“You can have quite different rhythms; we’re working on synching up and getting closer and closer to that every day. You sign up knowing the balance of life and sport, and stepping it up to that next level representing Australia.”

Coach Hewlett says the differences in personality between Boorman and Cleary are working well on the water.

“They are a bit of an odd couple personality wise, but there are many ways to skin a cat,” Hewlett says.

“Tyron is very methodical and Jack is a choose-your-own-adventure type of athlete who likes to go out and try for the unexpected. They get along and perhaps get the best of both worlds. Jack came a bit out of the blue; Tyron was a bit better known from racing in under-17 categories.

“With juniors it’s hard to predict any type of result. Our goal is to get the best speeds we can out of the double without too much emphasis on what the competition will be doing. This is a transition into taking

a more professional approach to rowing. What we really look for in the Australian junior team is for athletes who can perform and eventually become Olympians.

“The biggest thing you come up against in rowing is longevity because it’s only those guys who hang around for six, seven, eight years who will get a shot at the top level. As with anything, it will be persistence. Physiologically, Tyron is still very young but he’s showing some amazing signs.”

Boorman is also working with Rowing Australia high-performance development co-ordinator Simon Gadsden, who says: “For the next level there has to be an increase in work volume. Tyron is driven, very coachable. It doesn’t take long to get a change when you work on something.”

The world junior rowing champion ships are in Trakai, Lithuania, from August 7-11.

Essendon Rowing Club hosts a fundraiser for Tyron Boorman on Saturday, June 29, from 7pm at the clubrooms on The Boulevard, Moonee Ponds. For more details or to contribute, call Denise Boorman on 0407 809 044.

Essendon Rowing Club’s Tyron Boorman will take a step back in time later this year when he rows on the Galve lake in Lithuania, in front of the Trakai Island Castle built in the 14th century.

But Boorman and teammate Jack Cleary won’t be sightseeing. They’ll be looking to the future, teaming up to represent Australia in the men’s double scull in the junior world championship.

Described by their coach Jamie Hewlett as a contrast in styles, the two are working on their synchronising in Melbourne and in Cleary’s home town of Perth before the championships in August.

Boorman, 17, and Cleary, who will turn 18 during the world juniors, were teamed up as Australian representatives in April having previously never rowed together.

Cleary, from Perth suburb Maylands, will be joined by Boorman in WA early next month for two weeks of training after spending the last week in Melbourne training out of Essendon.

The duo were assigned to a boat at national selection trials, their first face-to-face meeting, with immediate success.

“We’d just finished our scull ranking and finished first and second; it went well straight off the bat and it’s gone from there,” Cleary said.

Boorman’s Essendon rowing coach David Byrne retired after the national championships earlier this year, leaving Tyron to team up with Cleary’s existing Perth-based coach Hewlett, from the ANA Rowing Club.

Boorman, originally from the Sunshine Coast, moved to Melbourne three years ago and is in year 11 at Maribyrnong College.

“I played many other sports when I was younger and (Aussie rules) was the main one, but with rowing taking off lately that has been my focus.

“We’re always looking for five percent here, five per-cent there to make up time. We’ve got to match up to a world standard. We’re on track to being what we want to be.”

Boorman describes himself as a rower who powers out of the blocks and tries to hold on, while Cleary says he’s a middle-kilometre specialist.

“We’re coming to a middle (ground), to feeding off each other’s energy,” Boorman says.

“Singles are always the pet event but especially now with us training it’s good to have a teammate.”
