All aboard the election train
OUR COVER: Western suburbs identity Peter Gordon recounts some of his most cherished victories as a lawyer. Story: 18-19 Picture: The Age
hey say politics is a dirty game. If you listen carefully on these quiet spring nights, you can almost hear the knives being sharpened in the lead-up to next month’s Wyndham Council elections. In an effort to be noticed, some candidates are spruiking their views about local issues on social media, while incumbents are increasing their presence at events. Most use it to their advantage. But one suffered a humiliating episode recently when a press release with disparaging comments about a colleague mistakenly found its way to journalists. In the meantime, semi-clandestine meetings to work out preference swaps and allegiances are being arranged as the election train slowly gathers momentum. Pretty soon, a ‘how to vote’ pack will arrive in your letterbox, containing photos and sales pitches of each candidate. They’ll all have their reasons for wanting to lead our growing community and it’ll take a bit of reading for voters to decide who deserves a tick. More than ever, our community’s growing frustration and anger takes aim at everything from rate increases to traffic, road infrastructure delays and shortage of swimming pools. No matter the ward, or candidate, I consider them all brave souls, putting their hands up to lead residents who rarely appreciate their work but are quick to condemn. But how do you choose strong leaders for our community? Read the voting literature, flyers, websites social media pages and reports in the Weekly, and carefully consider the performances of current councillors. It’s been said before but I’ll say it again, whatever you do, make your vote count.

Court rules: company’s muck-up costs to pay for clean-up ENVIRONMENTALISTS have praised the EPA after a Laverton North company was made to pay $55,000 for discharging herbicide into Altona’s Cherry Lake. Drum reconditioner Schutz DSL last week pleaded guilty in the Sunshine Magistrates Court to two breaches of the Environment Protection Act for polluting Cherry Creek, which flows into Cherry Lake, and for breaching its EPA licence. On September 21, 2010, the company unintentionally discharged trifluralin when a new pipe temporarily connected Schutz’s
wastewater treatment plant to the stormwater system. Wastewater containing chemicals toxic to aquatic life entered the local drain and then Cherry Creek. Water samples collected at the point of entry showed a concentration of trifluralin 500 times higher than the recommended level regarded as safe for aquatic life. The court heard the creek was a valuable habitat for wetland plants and water birds. Schutz was ordered to fund a $40,000 environ-
mental project next to Cherry Creek, near Cherry Lake, involving weed clearing, building a rabbitproof fence and restoring the area to its natural state by planting indigenous grasses. It was also ordered to pay the EPA’s costs of $15,000. Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek president Geoff Mitchelmore said it was pleasing that an industry had been made to rectify its mistake. ‘‘Too often in the past, environmental issues caused by poor management practice by industry have been missed by the authorities,’’ he said. The EPA is today holding a forum at Macleod
on pollution issues in 21 municipalities, including Hobsons Bay and Wyndham. EPA metro manager Richard Marks said Brooklyn was a focal point. ‘‘Community reporting tells us Melbourne’s metro communities have in the past six months been most concerned by odour, water pollution and noise. ‘‘Half the calls to EPA’s pollution hotline were in regard to odour, while water and noise accounted for about 20 per cent each of calls.’’ — Goya Dmytryshchak
BY NICK TOSCANO LANDHOLDERS on Wyndham’s fringe have been offered a new assistance package to cushion the blow of massive council rate hikes. But a snap meeting of 200 landholders following Monday’s council meeting denied the offer was a suitable outcome. The urban growth zone assistance package will allow landholders in Wyndham’s north to have the bulk of their rates increases deferred until their property is developed or sold. The assistance came in the wake of hundreds of landholders in Tarneit, Truganina and Mount Cottrell facing rates bills averaging 168 per cent higher than last year, due to a spike in land value after they were brought within Melbourne’s growth boundary. With likely windfall sales up to 20 years away, crowds of landholders have piled pressure on council by swamping four public meetings. In the move announced on Monday, ratepayers will be eligible for assistance if their rates bills have risen by at least $1000, or if their property valuation has increased more than 75 per cent. The package allows deferral of the sum by which this year’s rates have exceeded the rates payable in 2011-12, plus the Wyndham-wide average increase of 5.5 per cent. Interest on the deferred amount will be 6.5 per cent.
Wyndham’s corporate services director Steve Lambert said the interest was modelled on how far council would fall short of its required rates income. ‘‘When we don’t get that rate money through the front door, we’ve got to go and source it from somewhere else, otherwise we can’t deliver our service ‘‘If we went to the bank now and said we need that equivalent amount of money, it would cost us 6-6.5 per cent which is why we struck it at that rate,’’ Mr Lambert said. Under legislation, the council must charge interest on overdue rates and charges at a penalty interest rate of 10.5 per cent. But it may waive part of any rate or charge interest if a ratepayer is facing financial hardship. Landholder Neil Anderson slammed the offer to bill the bulk of rates increases at the point of sale. ‘‘The problem with a lot of the land around here is there’s no development going on, it’s all come to a dead stop. The land developers want is 100-acre lots, not the bulk of these properties, which are 40, 20 or 10 acres.’’ Fair Rates Committee representative Joe Magro told the crowd the offer, while not the best outcome, was ‘‘a move in the right direction’’. He said the council would consider applying no interest to hardship cases. Cr Glenn Goodfellow said the package did not go far enough. ‘‘All you’re doing is adding extra to the outstanding amount.’’

Projects on the fast-track list WYNDHAM Council has presented a wish list of infrastructure projects it wants fast-tracked under a new state government agreement with the housing industry. As part of a $7 million spend across Melbourne, $900,000 was last week earmarked from the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution fund to upgrade bus facilities and car parking at the Wyndham Events, Aquatic and Leisure Centre. Mr Guy spruiked that ‘‘works-inkind’’ arrangements allowed new public infrastructure to be provided sooner to growth areas. The policy, introduced last year, allows developers to provide new roads, infrastructure or public facilities instead of cash contributions to the government when building in growth areas. “Changes implemented by the Victorian Coalition government last year have enabled us to fast-track investment in much-needed infrastructure in the Wyndham growth area,” Mr Guy said. “This project will significantly enhance the local community and increase capacity to cater for existing and future growth area residents.’’ Wyndham’s acting chief executive Bill Forrest said the council had made clear a list of infrastructure projects it wanted as short-term priorities for the city. These included full diamond freeway interchanges at Sneydes Road in Point Cook, and at Duncans Road in Werribee South, as well as an extension of Armstrong Road,

‘This project will . . . increase capacity to cater for existing and future growth area residents’ the Derrimut Road centre was a ‘‘drop in the ocean’’ in terms of the investment needed in Wyndham. ‘‘As one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Victoria, Wyndham has been short-changed,’’ he said. ‘‘While I do not begrudge multimillion-dollar investments in municipalities such as Hume, Wyndham requires substantially more than the $900,000 from the GAIC to be fast-tracked for strategic community infrastructure projects.’’

Council election draws 46 hopefuls BY CAMERON TAIT FORTY-SIX candidates will contest next month’s Wyndham Council election, with a mix of new and old faces, former councillors and city leaders vying for residents’ votes. Nineteen are standing for four vacancies in Chaffey ward, including incumbents Shane Bourke, mayor Kim McAliney and Marcel Mahfoud, while former councillor Marie Brittan will seek a return after a three-year absence. Mrs Brittan, who has been working as an electorate officer for Tarneit Labor MP Tim Pallas, was elected to council in 2008 but resigned the following year after the former Brumby government banned political staffers working as councillors. Hoppers Crossing resident Bro SheffieldBrotherton, who contested the 2010 state election for the Greens, has also put up his hand in Chaffey, along with former Werribee police officer Ron Fenton, former councillor John Gibbons and Wyndham Tourism Association president George Tomkins.
Eighteen candidates will contest four vacancies in Harrison ward, including deputy mayor Glenn Goodfellow, councillors Bob Fairclough and Adele Hegedich and former Point Cook Action Group president Bernard Reilly. Victoria University academic and former Victorian Multicultural Commission member Eleni Bereded-Samuel and Mohammed Isah, who stood in 2008, have also nominated. Councillors Heather Marcus and Cynthia Manson are among nine candidates for three positions in Iramoo ward, along with retired police officer Peter Gibbons and Wyndham SES volunteer Kylie Cowie. Ballot packs will be sent to voters between October 9 and 11 and must be returned by October 26. Voting is compulsory. With the high numbers of candidates in Chaffey and Harrison wards, Victorian Electoral Commission spokeswoman Sue Lang urged voters to pay extra attention when completing their ballot forms.

WERRIBEE line commuters have welcomed the addition of armed guards patrolling train stations at night, police say. Squads of protective services officers began patrolling Werribee, Laverton and Yarraville earlier this month, with Hoppers Crossing added to the network on Tuesday last week. PSOs are deployed from 6pm until the last train every night, as Victoria Police continues rolling out the officers to metro and regional centres. Acting Superintendent Phillip Green said the PSOs had been ‘‘well received’’ by commuters at Laverton, Werribee and Yarraville. ‘‘The community has been pleased to see the PSOs on the platforms and are telling us they feel safer using the rail network at night.’’ He said there were 143 PSOs working at 20 train stations across the state. Police spokeswoman Kelly Yates said more than 3000 fines resulting from making arrests and detecting breaches of bail had been issued by PSOs since being deployed across Melbourne. ‘‘These were for a range of offences including being drunk in a public place, smoking or possessing alcohol,’’ she said. A further 800 PSOs are needed for the state government to be able to deliver on its election promise of 940 PSOs across Victoria.

Walking on ‘unsafe ground’ PICTURE: DARREN HOWE
BY NICK TOSCANO A TARNEIT mother has taken Wyndham Council to task over an unsealed pathway she claims is dangerous after she slipped and fell while pregnant. Kirrily Kratsis (pictured), who has two children with special needs, said she wanted to be able to use the walkway between West End Place and Sayers Road to walk to her doctor’s clinic. ‘‘I have reported it to Wyndham Council after falling [in May] and it has only become worse . . . it is extremely dangerous,’’ she said. ‘‘There’s a lot of businesses opening up in the area, shops are opening up, there’s a retirement village down the road so there are a lot of old people using the walkway and a lot of kids use the walkway from the school nearby. ‘‘It’s really muddy, there’s a massive gap, I just want to be able to walk safely.’’ Council’s acting chief executive Bill Forrest said a footpath would be built next year. ‘‘Construction should occur in early 2013 as part of Wyndham City’s footpath program. ‘‘Recent works undertaken for Melbourne Water involving the drainage reserve under Derrimut Road mean engineering work is required to make the construction of the extended footpath structurally sound.’’ — Nick Toscano

EDUCATION Minister Martin Dixon last week turned the first sod to start construction of the new Point Cook South East P-9 College. Prep to grade 6 classes at the campus, on the corner of Alamanda Boulevard and Prudence Parade, will begin in February. Work on the $10 million first stage is expected to be completed by mid-year. ‘‘This school has been designed to get students involved,’’ Mr Dixon said. ‘‘Everything from the layout of the buildings with a central courtyard . . . to the flexible classrooms Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury said new schools were critical to cater for Wyndham’s population explosion. Tarneit Central P-9 College is also due to open next year. A decision on the Point Cook school’s name will be made soon. Wyndham Council has contributed $3.5 million for a kindergarten on the site.

ways and a shopping centre. A key feature is a proposal to create a lake complex along Lollypop Creek in the centre of the precinct to retain water which inundates the site during floods. The council also supports a new railway station next to the Browns and Galvin roads level crossing to service growth in Wyndham’s west. A report to councillors stated the council had been given just over a month by the GAA to consider the plan, which in its view was insufficient. Chaffey ward’s Cr Marcel Mahfoud said the plan was ‘‘not something which should be rushed through’’. ‘‘We’re talking about an extra 14,000 residents which will have a significant impact on local traffic.’’ Councillors also voted to support a separate proposal to link the release of housing lots in Wyndham’s west to the construction of major road projects, including Armstrong and Ison roads and an overpass over the WerribeeGeelong railway line. These projects would be funded through cash advancements and cost-sharing arrangements between the council, developers and the state government. — Cameron Tait

TRAFFIC fears were one of the major factors in Wyndham Council’s decision to knock back a plan which would have paved the way for a $1 billion housing estate in the municipality’s west. On Monday, councillors rejected the draft Black Forest Road South precinct structure plan until a series of issues are ‘‘resolved to the council’s satisfaction’’ by the Growth Areas Authority (GAA) and other state agencies. As reported by the Weekly, the estate could accommodate almost 15,000 residents. The council called for the adoption of a strategy to stagger the release of the 5200 proposed lots to ease the strain on Wyndham’s transport network. The proposed estate by developer Lend Lease would be built on a 438-hectare site between Black Forest, McGrath and Bulbans roads in Wyndham Vale. There are plans for four schools, community, sport and recreation facilities, open space with lakes and waterOn hold: An estate in Black Forest Road could be home to almost 15,000 residents.

A Wyndham Vale retirement home has been a hive of activity with residents working hard on a massive crochet coral reef art installation. UnitingCare residents Gladys Bourke, Margaret Perry and Tricia Appleby (pictured with personal carer Sita Guawali and lifestyle co-ordinator Angela Taylor) were among 30 people, as well as families and staff, who worked with yarn, thread and crochet hooks for the past nine months. Ms Taylor said residents were beaming with pride. ‘‘So many got involved, some with dementia, some who haven’t crocheted for 20 years, some who have never crocheted in their life. It created so much fun and laughter . . . we’ll have to do something else, like a Christmas tree, now.’’

Ambo units to help lift response times BY CAMERON TAIT AMBULANCE services in Victoria’s fastest growing region are about to receive a major boost, with new peak-period units to open at Tarneit next April and Wyndham Vale in 2014. As reported by the Weekly, response times have blown out by almost two minutes in Werribee and nearly 1 1⁄ 2 minutes in Hoppers Crossing, according to documents obtained by the state opposition. The figures, which compared the 2009-10 financial year with the 2011 calendar year, were sourced in separate documents from the Victorian Auditor-General and Ambulance Victoria. However, response times across Wyndham still met the 15-minute state benchmark. Ambulance Employees Association Victoria branch secretary Steve McGhie attributed the increasing response times to huge workloads, which he said was pushing paramedics to the limit. One Wyndham paramedic, who did not want to be named, told the Weekly crews were
often on the road for an entire shift, without any opportunity for a break. “As soon as we transport a patient to hospital, we’re being hurried up to go to another job. The Point Cook crew might go to Altona or the city and be the closest to a job in Broadmeadows and then be the closest to one in Heidelberg, so we’re ping-ponging across Melbourne, sometimes leaving our region uncovered,’’ he said. Wyndham’s prognosis now appears brighter with the new units, which will typically operate from 9am-9pm, to include six paramedics each. Ambulance Victoria metro-west regional manager Simon Thomson said population changes were a major consideration when determining locations for new services and paramedics. “This planning information means that a Tarneit branch will commence in April 2013 and we’re in the process of locating another suitable site for the Wyndham Vale area which will be up and running in 2014,” Mr Thomson said.

Sell, sack and shut for Victoria Uni BY BENJAMIN MILLAR VICTORIA University is slashing almost 80 courses and more than 100 teaching jobs as part of sweeping changes detailed in a leaked state government cabinet document. The changes, linked with a $32 million state government funding cut, include selling off the Newport campus and closing the VenU training restaurant. TAFE teachers walked off the job on Thursday and about 2000 people joined a rally in Treasury Gardens in protest against funding cuts to the sector. The leaked VU transition plan details a shift away from vocational training towards higher education, scrapping advanced diplomas and nearly all certificate I and II courses. VU will cut events and tourism, boat building and animal studies, raise its fees for students and vocational training in schools programs, and pull out of trade training centres in Werribee and Melton. A further 64 teaching jobs will go on top of 50 slashed earlier this year — including 34 from VU College, which provides English programs to international students. About 140 administration jobs are also reportedly to go. Australian Education Union Victorian president Mary Bluett said the government must be
held accountable for the devastation it had caused at VU and other TAFEs. The leaked document emerged after the university released a structure plan to come into effect from January 1. Vice-chancellor Peter Dawkins said the university would be made up of eight colleges, seven offering a curriculum incorporating further education and TAFE, with the eighth focusing on trades. Opposition leader Daniel Andrews met with VU students and teaching staff last week to discuss concerns about the impact of the cuts. “These cuts could spell the end of education, and training might be on its last legs in the western suburbs,” he said. “Ted Baillieu isn’t just robbing TAFEs of funding; he is robbing our children of their future.” Federal Tertiary Education and Skills Minister Chris Evans said destroying the TAFE sector meant Victoria wouldn’t have the skilled workforce it needed for the jobs of tomorrow. Skills Minister Peter Hall said industrial action was unnecessary. “While any period of change causes some uncertainty, I am confident that Victoria’s training system is responding to the changes well and that we will have a stronger, more responsive and sustainable system in the future.”

Odds stacked against councils on pokies BY NICK TOSCANO SPENDING on poker machines in Wyndham has fallen over the past decade but problem gambling rates remain steady, an inquiry has heard. Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) figures reveal the average annual spend per adult on pokies in Wyndham was $730 in 2010-11, down from $910 nine years ago. This compares to a smaller statewide decrease from $627 to $613. In a submission to a Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission inquiry into problem gambling, the regulator said the decrease could have been caused by changing attitudes to electronic gaming machines and government efforts to tackle problem gambling. But a Municipal Association of Victoria submission said while the level of problem gambling as a proportion of the population fell between 2003 and 2008, the level of problem gambling ‘‘had stayed remarkably consistent’’. ‘‘For both average users and particularly for those classified as problem gamblers, average expenditure increased significantly in real terms, suggesting a likely increase in the level of harm experienced by those with gambling problems,’’ it said.
‘‘Although the number of problem gamblers reportedly shrank as a proportion of the population, the harm experienced by those who had a gambling problem was likely to have increased.’’ According to the MAV, councils were largely powerless to stop new pokie venues opening and stave off the economic, social and health impacts of problem gambling. It said annual gambling losses of $5.1 billion statewide could have been better spent on other businesses. HealthWest project manager James Dunne said Wyndham’s alarming yearly losses of more than $88 million should prompt regulatory reform, giving local councils more clout to reject bids for poker machines. ‘‘At the moment when local governments receive applications for more pokies or new venues in their local area, there is only a certain amount of power that they have to reject the applications,’’ he said. Mr Dunne said council rejections were often overturned by the VCGLR or at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. ‘‘The process of fighting a pokie application . . . is costly and even for those local governments with a strong gambling policy and a solid basis to reject an application, there is no guarantee of winning.’’

INBRIEF Wyndham Council will write to mining company Regal Resources seeking an outline of its intentions in an exploration area covering Werribee South, Williams Landing, Tarneit, Truganina and Mount Cottrell. The company last week sought to renew a licence to search for brown coal in an area spanning most of Wyndham. The licence expired after being held for 12 years by Western Victoria Energy, a subsidiary of Melbourne-based Regal Resources which applied to the Department of Primary Industries to have the licence rolled over. The DPI says the company is not permitted to extract anything greater than small samples without applying for a full mining licence.
Teen facing charges A Hoppers Crossing teen, 18, has been charged after police alleged he pulled a knife on a man last week. The victim told police he caught a teen about 9.20pm on September 16 stealing valuables from his car in Globe Alley in Melbourne’s CBD. Police said the victim followed the teen to Little Bourke Street, where the teen pulled out a knife. Several witnesses saw the incident and called police, who arrived within one minute and arrested the teen. He has been charged with various counts including theft from a motor vehicle,
threatening to inflict serious injury, possessing a dangerous article and possessing a controlled weapon. He was remanded in custody.
Edible gardens get thumbs up Green thumbs are being encouraged to roll up their sleeves and make over the Wyndham Community and Education Centre this Saturday. The centre won a ‘permablitz’ competition organised by Wyndham Council and Shoestring Gardening, a not-for-profit organisation which encourages backyard food gardens. A permablitz involves volunteers working together for a day to create an edible garden. Registrations can be made on the day with lunch and refreshments provided. The free event includes workshops on planting fruit trees and building raised beds. Volunteers are encouraged to bring gardening gloves and tools. The event is at the centre, 31 Jellicoe Street, Werribee, from 10am-4pm.
Grocery stock destroyed in blaze Fire crews stopped a blaze spreading through Wyndham Village shopping centre in Tarneit last Saturday. The fire, which broke out just after 10.30pm, caused extensive damage to a grocery store, destroying all its stock. CFA operations officer Graeme Bertram said investigators did not believe the fire was suspicious.

Sheriff nabs 48 for old offences A LAVERTON company director with more than $80,000 in unpaid traffic fines had his driving licence and registration suspended after being caught during a blitz at Laverton North last week. The Sheriff’s Office caught 48 drivers owing $358,000 in unpaid fines during the crackdown last Wednesday from 9am-4pm. The director had 303 warrants issued against his name and his firm. He had racked up 165 infringement warrants for $43,765.80, while his business had 138 infringement warrants for $36,249.50. VicRoads was directed to suspend the man’s driver’s licence and vehicle registration. Sixteen officers were involved in the roadblock operation at William Angliss Drive, which detected 48
people with 863 outstanding infringement notices among them. Twenty four were notified that their licence or registration would be suspended unless payment was made within seven days. The 24 were repeat offenders with 524 warrants worth nearly $160,000 among them. Another 14 motorists paid 62 outstanding fines worth more than $16,000. Victorian sheriff Brendan Facey said the most common fines were for toll defaulting and parking and traffic offences. “As this operation shows, if you ignore your fines you will be caught,” he said. “You are liable for your unpaid fines. New technology to identify offenders and more targeted blitzes mean the sheriff will find you.”

If being a parent is a full-time job, having twins means an even heavier workload. A support group for parents of twins like Emma and Lauren, 3 (pictured), is hosting a garage sale fund-raiser to help new mums and dads cope with the challenges that accompany multiple births. Baby, toddler and children’s goods at bargain prices will be on offer at the Wyndham Twins Plus garage sale from 8am-1pm on October 6 at Mossfiel Primary School in Hoppers Crossing. President Jennifer Pitts said that without government or council funding, the group relied on the annual garage sale to raise money for important services. ‘‘All funds raised go towards running events such as playgroups, activity sessions and information resources for new mums, including antenatal evenings and a resource library,’’ she said.

eter Gordon has come a long way since, as a teenage schoolboy, he was almost expelled for writing a satirical essay about his teachers. Today, he sits high above Collins Street in his legal firm’s office, where windows offer views across the city. He peers over to the western suburbs, not only his childhood home, but where he launched what would become a highly decorated legal career. Memorabilia highlighting one of his great loves, the Footscray Football Club, sits proudly on the wall. Since conducting the first successful asbestosrelated cancer claim in 1984, Gordon has become internationally renowned for his work on landmark legal cases, including Australia’s first successful litigation over medically acquired HIV/AIDS. Damages were awarded to 470 people who contracted the disease as a result of blood transfusions in the early 1980s. A lawyer then partner at Slater and Gordon for 30 years, Gordon helped fight the OK Tedi environmental case against BHP and, in 2001, concluded a world-first settlement over 3000 Dow Corning breast implant claims. He acted on behalf of a class action against a German drug manufacturer over the sale of thalidomide, with a multi-million dollar settlement last month to more than 100 Australian survivors. At 32 he drove the Fightback campaign, which saved Footscray from a proposed merger with Fitzroy in 1989. Gordon led the club until October 1996, when a group of businessmen led by current chairman David Smorgon took control. Born in West Footscray, he grew up in a modest three-bedroom weatherboard house in Palmerston Street, a few drop punts from the Western Oval. A dyed-in-the-wool Bulldog, Gordon and his mates were regular fixtures in the outer — rain, hail or shine. ‘‘On Saturday mornings, I would pride myself on being the first one into the ground,” he says. ‘‘I was only about 10 or 11, but we would go to Moorabbin, Windy Hill and Glenferrie Oval and watch our team get smashed week after week.’’ His father worked as a clerk at the Tottenham RAAF base and his mother a sales assistant at Footscray department store Waltons. At Braybrook’s St John’s College, Gordon met Rob Stary. They became firm friends and in 1978 started the Western Suburbs Legal Service while studying law at Melbourne University. Stary would go on to become a high-profile criminal defence lawyer. ‘‘He [Rob] was always a bit politicised,’’ Gordon says, ‘‘but I became quite radical as a leftwinger, resentful of the kids who went to Scotch
INSIDESTORY
College and Melbourne Grammar and what I perceived as the way they looked down on kids like us [from the western suburbs]. ‘‘There were some [volunteer-based] legal services around at the time, but they were in ‘trendy’ places like Fitzroy, being run by the cool kids who smoked dope and ran the student union. ‘‘Our view was the real need for legal services was for the poor, in areas such as Newport and Footscray.’’ But there was resistance from local solicitors. ‘‘For them, the idea of people coming in giving free legal advice was somehow a threat to the integrity of the profession.’’ Gordon had hoped to get a scholarship to study teaching, but it was not to be. ‘‘Neither myself nor my sister ever aspired to the idea of becoming a doctor or a lawyer,’’ he says, ‘‘because it wasn’t something kids from West Footscray did. ‘‘It wasn’t until a teacher at St John’s, Rowan McIndoe, who came from Scotch and went on to be a magistrate, said: ‘You’re not somebody who has to limit their aspirations, you can do law’.” By the time he completed his law degree, Gordon had been giving pro-bono advice via the legal service for two years. ‘‘I was arrogant enough to think I was in a much better position to give competent advice than lawyers twice my age,” he recalls. ‘‘But when it came to getting a job, I held the view that I was from the wrong side of the tracks and no reputable firm would employ a kid from St John’s College, Braybrook.’’ Without his father’s intervention, Gordon’s career with Slater and Gordon may never have happened. ‘‘I wrote applications to law firms, going through the Yellow Pages, starting at A and by the end of the day I had reached R. ‘‘My dad, who had been watching me, got a copy of my standard letter and did R to W, so he did S, including Slater and Gordon. ‘‘They were one of only two firms to give me an interview and my only job offer. ‘‘They turned out to be this radical, left-wing firm doing workers’ compensation claims and populated almost entirely by people who were covertly members of the Communist Party. ‘‘We were trained by leaders of that firm that there was a legal dimension to law, but also a political dimension. We were struggling for poor and disenfranchised people against the big end of town.’’ In the mid-1980s, Gordon, Stary and Paul Grant — now president of the Children’s Court of Victoria — ran a Slater and Gordon office in Footscray. ‘‘It went gangbusters,’’ he says. ‘‘We had no airs or graces and quickly developed a reputation in the local community as guys to talk to who didn’t have tickets on themselves and who you could just come and talk to.’’ Gordon admits his views on the rich-poor divide have mellowed. ‘‘Growing up, I had the idea that we lived in the ‘deprived west’ and that somehow people had it better elsewhere. ‘‘But, as you get older, travel and experience other cultures, you realise the differences in kids from one suburb to the next are not as great as you once thought.
‘‘I’m glad I don’t have the parochial ‘us against them’ attitude that I once did, because I think that was immature’’. While taking on the likes of the James Hardie, CSR and British American Tobacco would be enough to send most lawyers ducking for cover it wasn’t so for Gordon. But he still had moments of trepidation. ‘‘If somebody is genuinely not intimidated at taking on a federal government, the tobacco industry or Dow Corning, they need psychiatric help. ‘‘It’s daunting to go up against people with unlimited resources. Not every case has a happy ending and my career has been peppered with outcomes I don’t feel good about.’’ While splitting his time across three states as part of an absestos claim against CSR and starting work on the HIV/AIDS case, Gordon was running Save the Dogs, a group dedicated to ensuring Footscray stayed at the Western Oval. One night in October 1989, he received a call from Bulldogs chief executive Dennis Galimberti, who dropped a bombshell. ‘‘He told me: ‘You need to know that tomorrow they’re going to announce the destruction of the Footscray Football Club’,’’ Gordon recalls. Following a hastily convened meeting, Gordon gathered together a group of supporters, including Tim Guinnane — now a County Court judge — and they set about trying to save their beloved Bulldogs. Taking the Victorian Football League to court, they were given 21 days to raise $1.8 million and prove the club could be solvent. A supporters’ rally was organised for the Western Oval two days later — Sunday, October 8. ‘‘The line from the VFL was: ‘We’re going to give you [the club] just enough rope to hang yourselves’. ‘‘On the day of the rally, it was drizzling with rain and at 6am I picked up The Sunday Age and they had published a letter from [VFL chief executive] Ross Oakley saying rather than $1.8 million we now had to raise $5 million. ‘‘It was a deliberately crafted piece of propaganda designed to make people not come to the rally. ‘‘Fifteen minutes before it started there was almost nobody there — it looked catastrophic. But, in the blink of an eye we had somewhere between 17,000 and 20,000 there.’’ Gordon’s rousing speech to the crowd has become legendary. ‘‘I started with a line from a Midnight Oil song: ‘It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees’. ‘‘I announced the board, the new coach and I remember the wall of sound that hit me when I welcomed out the Footscray team for 1990. ‘‘I didn’t think twice to stick it to those blokes [the VFL] to get the result we needed. ‘‘I didn’t always think it was possible [to save the club] but was determined to give it my absolute best shot. If we were going down, I wanted to go down swinging.’’ Asked whether he would ever rejoin the club in an official capacity, Gordon leans back and pauses — deep in thought. ‘‘If ever I thought its existence was threatened ... I would do it.’’

Firefighters find ‘Green’ friends BY BENJAMIN MILLAR THE fight against Metropolitan Fire Brigade budget cuts is heating up as firefighters vow to maintain pressure on the state government. Firefighters from Melbourne’s west rallied at State Parliament this month and met Greens’ emergency services spokeswoman, Colleen Hartland, in Footscray on Friday to lay out their concerns over the $66 million budget cuts. Firefighters say the cuts stripping $41 million from the CFA and $25 million from the MFB will affect staff numbers and compromise firefighter and community safety. The United Firefighters Union claims the government has been caught out trying to hide the funding cuts. But Emergency Services Minister Peter Ryan insists there will be no impact on frontline firefighting

services. “There will be reductions [in funding] for the CFA and MFB; they will be in the order of figures that are being talked about, that is so,” he told ABC Radio. Firefighters at the meeting with Ms Hartland also discussed the Greens’ plans to introduce laws improving access to WorkCover insurance and compensation when firefighters get sick on the job. “All Victorians know that firefighters risk injury, even death to fight fires in this state. ‘‘The sad truth is that firefighters are far, far more likely to contract a range of cancers due to exposure to toxic carcinogens,” Ms Hartland said. She said the Greens would work with any party to build the same strong cross-party support that helped similar legislation pass Federal Parliament last year, ensuring better access to WorkCover insurance and compensation for ill and injured firefighters.

Budding Wyndham netballers have put their skills to the test in a multischool tournament, winding up a sixweek Netball Victoria program. More than 100 children from six schools in the area were pitted against each other at Wyndham Recreation Centre last Wednesday. They were treated to a special appearance by former Melbourne Vixens Kate Beveridge and Kara Richards (pictured with Corey, 12, and Briana, 11). Schools involved in the Melbourne Vixens friendly school program engaged in skill fundamentals, physical games and classroom exercises about netball.

Tiny Milla’s a big miracle for mum and dad IT all happened so fast. In October last year, Werribee Tigers footballer Leigh Harding and his wife Stacey were eagerly anticipating the birth of their first child. Everything was going to plan. As the young expectant mother went in for a check-up, she didn’t realise she would soon be fighting not only to save her daughter’s life, but her own. Stacey became dangerously ill with preeclampsia — or seriously high blood pressure, a condition which can be fatal — and required an urgent caesarean to avoid further complications. ‘‘She was put into an ambulance and rushed to emergency,’’ Harding said. ‘‘Fortunately the doctors acted so quickly.’’ Nothing could have prepared the couple for the emotional rollercoaster they’ve ridden for the past 12 months. Their daughter, Milla, entered the world 13 weeks early at a mere 638 grams. For an agonising 92 days, the couple nervously kept vigil as their daughter battled for survival. ‘‘In those initial couple of months, it could have gone either way,’’ Harding said. ‘‘Being our first child, everything was an
unknown for us. Having a fragile baby was a difficult and stressful time for us and our family.’’ Although still only 5.3 kilograms — the weight of some newborns — Milla has gone from strength to strength and, on October 12, will celebrate her first birthday. ‘‘She’s come a long way. She’s now reaching all of her developmental goals,’’ Harding said. To mark the start of International Premmie Month in November, the Life’s Little Treasures Foundation, which supports the families of sick and premature babies, will stage a Walk for Prems at Albert Park Lake on October 28. Harding said they would not have made it through their harrowing ordeal without the support of staff at the Monash Medical Centre and volunteers from Life’s Little Treasures. Foundation president Parool Shah said about 8 per cent or 24,500 Australian mothers delivered premature babies each year. ‘‘Providing emotional support and information to parents is the core of what Life’s Little Treasures and our volunteers do. It’s through events such as the Walk for Prems that we generate funds to continue our valuable work,’’ she said. For details on the walk or to make a donation, visit lifeslittletreasures.org.au.
Precious gift: Leigh and Stacey Harding, with Milla, will support next month’s Walk for Prems.

Kitchen fires spark fresh safety warning MORE house fires were recorded in Wyndham than any other area in Melbourne’s west this winter. Unattended cooking was the leading cause across the region. CFA and MFB data reveals there were more than 1000 house fires in Victoria during the three-month period, killing three people. CFA chief officer Euan Ferguson said while
there was a reduction in the number of fires statewide, there was an increase in those caused by heating and wood fires. ‘‘Almost half of the residential fires were heating-related or electrical fires and could have been prevented,” he said. ‘‘Keep at least a one-metre clear space around heaters and open fires, keep screens in front of
fires, and check your electric appliances for broken or worn wiring.’’ Wyndham CFA operations officer Trevor Roberts said it was crucial to regularly inspect electrical appliances. Although there was a significantly lower risk of house fires during the warmer months, he said it was important to remain vigilant, adding that
every home must have working smoke alarms. ‘‘You’re 60 per cent less likely to survive a house fire without a working smoke alarm. A smoke alarm is the only thing that will alert you if there is smoke from a fire.’’ For details, including a home fire safety checklist, visit homefiresafety.com.au.
MAKING the move from an office tucked beside Werribee railway station to Heathdale’s Glen Orden wetlands, young people with disabilities are enjoying the open space after starting classes at Wyndham’s newest community centre. CREATE youth education program team leader Jane Simms said Wyndham Community Centre would be home to accredited literacy and numeracy programs on Monday, art classes on Wednesday and fitness and art on Friday. She said the new facilities, and the neighbouring ovals and parkland, meant a boost

More space to educate for the 40 young people with disabilities aged 18-24, like Melanie Lewindon and Rebecca Thrum (pictured), who are involved in Create’s programs. ‘‘It’s more room, more space and more options. We were stretched to the limit where we were in the Werribee business centre, but here, we’ve got land, gardening facilities and cricket nets.’’ Access to open space and better facilities meant the group was not forced to travel to get to sports stadiums. CREATE is also planning to shift more of its classes to the new location. — Nick Toscano

Re: PM points finger at state (Weekly, September 19): Worrying indeed that the cuts should fall heavily on the sector which caters most for the least educationally advantaged. No wonder that the minister, Peter Hall, who seems a decent fellow, thought of resigning. Like the PM, but a decade earlier, I was a kid of parents who ‘‘didn’t have the opportunity’’ and benefited from governments’ commitment to education. I worked hard too, but I benefited from the visions and commitments of Bob Menzies and Gough Whitlam, to name a couple. There is no need for partisanship here. This wealthy nation should be committed to a quality education system with fair opportunity for all.

Re: Plea to keep Werribee South jet-ski ramp (Weekly, September 4):
jet-skis launching there. The addition of jet-skis simply makes it too dangerous for a disabled kayaker to launch at weekends. If the council is ‘‘working on making the beach accessible for all residents’’ then what is the plan? The foreshore of Port Phillip Bay is the biggest recreational asset that Wyndham Council has and it has been neglected for too long. We need an accessible safe swimming area for all residents and now is the time to create one. The area around the current jet-ski ramp would be ideal. I am sure the ramp and surrounding area with some planning and forethought to be made to comply.

Baillieu cabinet not running show: Bracks VICTORIA’S TAFE cuts never would have got past a cabinet-controlled state government, former premier Steve Bracks told an intimate gathering in Williamstown last week. “Williamstown’s own” was interviewed about his memoir, A Premier’s State, by his “trusted lieutenant” and former adviser and minister Tim Pallas. Mr Bracks, who became the Williamstown MP in 1994 and was Labor leader and state premier from 1999-2007, agreed with Mr Pallas he didn’t let political advisers or bureaucrats distract from the collegiate excellence he tried to instil in his cabinet. ‘‘That’s correct and I suspect that hasn’t been followed by our successors in the current government,’’ he said. ‘‘If you look at the [$300 million] TAFE [funding] cuts . . . interesting because that would never ever have got through an active cabinet, if you’re scrutinising. ‘‘I suspect what’s happened with this government is that they said they wanted to cut . . . Treasury always will give you a whole range of areas which you can cut and they’ve just said to them, ‘oh well’, without qualitatively deciding
what they stand for or what they’re about. Now we never did that because you’ve got to have a filter on what you stand for and what’s your priority. Government is about priorities; it’s about setting priorities.
‘‘ . . . you’ve got to have a filter on what you stand for and what’s your priority.’’ Steve Bracks ‘‘And budgets are simple; they’re your statement about what your priorities are. ‘‘And if you don’t have those priorities, somebody else is going to decide them for you. ‘‘I can see that this government is a department-led government. That is because the department’s so frustrated that [the government’s] not making the decisions that they’re making them for them, I guess.’’ Mr Bracks said former Liberal premier Jeff Kennett even had a ‘‘black cabinet’’ where he would meet with department heads separately. Mr Bracks said his government ensured that elected officials ran the government through the ‘‘supremacy of cabinet and collegiate decisionmaking.’’

Designer living beckons Make a perfect landing at this up-and-coming suburb, writes Mark Bunker uilt by Hermitage Homes, this delightful house has a distinctive open-plan hub that integrates with a north-facing outdoor entertainment area. The Williams Landing house is in a quiet street next to a picnic area. A hallway with floating floorboards links to a semi-open carpeted lounge room with timber venetians, which overlooks the established front gardens and rendered entry. A large main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a tiled en suite with shower.

A rumpus room has surround-sound speakers and built-in shelving designed for a home entertainment system. An island wall separates this room from the open-plan hub, which incorporates a kitchen and a family-meals area. The kitchen has a Caesarstone island bench, Blanco 900mm appliances and a glass splashback and chic high-gloss overhead cabinetry. The expansive family-meals zone has distinct dining and living areas. Three spacious bedrooms are set at the back. Two of these have walk-in wardrobes and
venetian blinds, while the other bedroom has built-in wardrobes. A sparkling bathroom has a large frosted window. Sliding doors lead to a merbau decked entertainment area with raked ceiling feature. The gravelled backyard leaves a lot to the new owner’s imagination — add a trampoline or pool. Young families will appreciate the playground that’s within a minute’s walk. The large double garage has internal access and a workshop.

s baby boomers near retirement and their needs change, so too do their housing aspirations. Rob Westwood, of First National Westwood Real Estate, says this shift is an increasingly challenging factor for Australia’s property market. ‘‘As children move out and nests become empty, homeowners are considering many facets of their post-working lives, including whether to sell up or downsize,’’ he says. ‘‘They need to look at whether they want a tree change, sea change or ‘local change’, where they remain in the same area, but in different-style accommodation such as an apartment or townhouse, or make alterations to their existing home.’’ Seniors looking to buy or update are advised to consider the following home-safety measures: ■ Ensure door and cupboard handles and benches are at a manageable height. ■ Consider the size of corridors and bathrooms so they are able to accommodate

‘As children move out and nests become empty, homeowners are considering . . . whether to sell up or downsize’ — Rob Westwood walking frame or wheelchair access. ■ Railing for toilets and bathrooms. ■ Avoid thick carpets and stairs. Mr Westwood also suggests that when selecting a future property, senior househunters keep in mind somewhere that isn’t too hilly or steep. Likewise, he suggests a property that provides easy access to the front door and porch. ‘‘It’s a good idea for anyone looking at serviceable accommodation for their retirement years to seek advice from a building or disability expert, who can inspect the property and ensure it is suitable for any future changes that may be required.’’

Back to the days of the 20c sandwich Paisley High students planning a 40-year reunion, writes Tegan Forder performance by AC/DC in their school hall in 1974 is one of the many fond memories Paisley High School foundation students will share at a 40-year reunion next month. The iconic Australian band played on a small stage in the school hall in the third year of the school’s existence. “They wouldn’t have been known back then but to us it meant a great deal. I remember kids dancing on the tables and getting right into it,” foundation student Carolyn Shanks recalls. And there’s been quite a few laughs planning the reunion, with the committee poring over old year books. “We were looking at an old canteen price list and in 1974 the most expensive item was a ham and salad sandwich for 20 cents,’’ Mrs Shanks says. ‘‘How times have changed.” About 150 students arrived at the new school in Blenheim Road in Newport in 1972 when it comprised two portable classrooms and a toilet block. There was no water, sewerage, power, tele-

phone or furniture. Students had to attend on a rostered basis until infrastructure was completed. They eventually settled into their new school under the leadership of principal David Collins. Mrs Shanks said the interrupted start probably made the students more adaptable. “Everyone survived quite well. People from that school have done quite well for themselves in lots of different fields, so it couldn’t have been too a negative impact on them. Maybe it was character building to go through that start.” Paisley High School has since merged with two other schools to form Bayside P-12 College. Milan Matejin, one of the foundation students, is principal at the Paisley campus, which caters for senior students. The reunion is at the Customs House Hotel, 161 Nelson Place, Williamstown, on October 20. Cost: $10 per person. RSVP by October 5. Call 9397 2337 or email croc@iinet.net.au.

The golden age of living Age is no barrier to staying fit and healthy, writes Rebecca Miller ecoming a senior doesn’t have to mean slowing down and giving up on life. In fact, Tarneit resident Loretta Sayer, 67, says it’s the age to fully embrace it. ‘‘Society needn’t just see seniors as old; we’re active and enjoying life,’’ Loretta says. ‘‘Lots of younger people would have trouble keeping up with us.’’ The go-getting lady is secretary of Werribee University of the Third Age, part of a worldwide movement started in 1972 by academics who wanted to continue learning and sharing knowledge into their retirement. U3A provides a place for senior members, some in their 90s, to learn and socialise. Loretta has other voluntary roles including collecting food from South Melbourne market for the charity Second Bite which delivers to community kitchens and people in need. She also takes older seniors shopping each fortnight.
B
‘‘We need to change people’s perception about ageing. It’s just a new phase of life and a time to get out and participate, not give up,’’ she says. On top of her extensive voluntary work, Loretta still fits in a weekly gym session, tai chi and bridge class. ‘‘Life is for living — this is the golden age so we need to make the most of it,’’ she says. ‘‘We’re sometimes a little worried about the onset of Alzheimer’s so we need to use it or we’ll lose it.’’ Loretta says there are many benefits for seniors staying involved in the community. ‘‘Volunteer work is very rewarding and you get a wonderful return. The more people you meet and the more you put in, the more you get from life.’’ Loretta is not the only one celebrating the golden years of life. Victorian Seniors Week (October 7-14) will feature events aimed at engaging seniors around the state. One of the many benefits is free use of public transport for seniors during that time.

Where the imagination takes over A quirky flight of fancy falters in the hands of an inexperienced writer. IRECTORIAL duo Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who delivered 2006’s runaway hit Little Miss Sunshine, return with the quirk factor amped up for their sophomore effort, Ruby Sparks. Paul Dano (pictured with Zoe Kazan), the grumpy teen brother in Little Miss Sunshine, plays introverted and neurotic author Calvin. He’s living off the proceeds of his successful debut novel, an instant American classic, but has suffered writer’s block ever since. Mooching around the house, leaving only for short strolls with his new pooch and to hit the gym with buff brother Harry (played with charm by Chris Messina), Calvin prefers staring absently at his dormant typewriter to forming real-world friendships. Then one enchanted night he dreams of a kooky vision in red hair, with a fun persona that’s a little too good to be true. Until, that is, he wills her into existence after being encouraged to write about her by his psychologist (Elliott Gould). First-time scribe Zoe Kazan, who also plays
D
RUBY SPARKS (M) Where: On general release When: From September 19 Preview: Stephen A Russell the eponymous Sparks, can’t quite sell what is a genuinely interesting flight of fancy. It’s telling that when Harry first reads his brother’s manuscript, he challenges Calvin’s unrealistic representation of women. So hamstrung, what we have for at least half the movie is predictably cheesy, tried-and-tested rom com fare. Things get more interesting as Calvin gradually exposes Ruby to the world, with enjoyably over-the-top cameos by Annette Benning and Antonio Banderas as his parents. Steve Coogan chews the scenery as Calvin’s drunk agent, and there’s a fantastic confrontation with his ex (played by Deborah Ann Woll). When the fledgling relationship starts to go stale, a clued-in Harry suggests Calvin rewrite
Ruby however he wants, and the film suddenly lurches into very dark territory. While far more interesting, it’s a violent jolt, and one that Kazan’s inexperienced scriptwriting fumbles. She
hasn’t the courage to follow through, either, with everything tied up neat and tidy by film’s close. Ruby Sparks is not terrible by any stretch, but it’s certainly no American classic.

Seeking alternatives A change is as good as a holiday when it comes to wine, writes Ben Thomas
Love a bargain? tuck in a wine rut? Is shiraz losing its allure or do you stick with sav blanc but would really like to try something else? Well, do I have a column for you. I’ve had a few friends ask me recently to recommend alternative wines to their regulars. The world of wine can be intimidating at times, and when you’re spending upwards of $20 on a bottle, it’s easy to play it safe rather than take a risk. Rather than recommend a few obscure grape varieties, there are plenty of mainstream ones that are similar to what you may default to every time you pour a glass. As a rule of thumb, wine can be categorised into distinct styles, crisp and light-bodied whites, medium-bodied textural whites, light-tomedium reds and medium-to-full-bodied reds. Crisp and light-bodied whites: Sauvignon blanc is the most popular white wine variety in the country, but if my sav-loving friends are any guide to its popularity, it won’t hold that mantle forever. They’re all looking for alternatives. Major retailers have evidence that
S
shows they’re not alone either. Their stats show that women in particular are switching from sav blanc to pinot grigio at a rapid rate. I reckon they’re missing a trick by moving straight to grigio, a wine that can be utterly refreshing and delicious but is also capable of true blandness. Closer to sav blanc in style, but with more complexity, are the highly aromatic grapes riesling and gewürztraminer. Albarino from the north of Spain and the Italian pair fiano and vermentino are also worth seeking. Medium-bodied textural whites: If you’re like me and keep reaching for the chardonnay, a white from France’s Rhône Valley or a barrelfermented pinot gris makes a nice change. Wines such as chardonnay and the Rhône triumvirate marsanne, roussanne and viognier are generally fermented and aged in oak barrels, which helps impart texture and fine tannins. Light-to-medium reds: I’ll agree that pinot noir is a wine you’re unlikely to ever tire of, but the vibrant gamay is a delicious alternative. It’s the grape in Beaujolais, a relatively inexpensive light red when compared with its pinot noir-
based neighbour in France, Burgundy. Always think cabernet sauvignon when you think red? Try it in a blend or reach for a straight merlot from time to time. Medium-to-full-bodied reds: Substitute grenache or mourvedre for a shiraz – or a blend of all three in a GSM – or a tempranillo-based wine from Spain’s Rioja region next time you’re thinking about shiraz. Rutherglen durif is also a good thing for those who like their shiraz from the bigger end of town. There’s another option, too. And that’s to stick with your favourite wines but look further afield. If Barossa shiraz is your poison, try a bottle from Bendigo or Heathcote – regions that will deliver the depth of flavour that you find in the Barossa. And, finally, now the days are getting longer and the weather warming, think pink. Dry, savoury rosé will be big again this summer as the rosé revolution in Australia goes from strength to strength. ■ To read more reviews, visit
★★★★ Toscar Monastrell 2011 (Alicante, Spain) $13.99; 13.5% I’ve reviewed previous vintages of this and it has been a favourite for a while. Like the previous vintages, this is dense, delicious and full of character. Plush aromas include plums, blackberries, cherry, spice, coal and a touch of dried herb. It’s smooth and savoury, with fine, powdery tannins and bright acidity. Light on its feet, bright fruit flavours of plum, cherry, and vanilla really push through to a persistent finish.

A toast to the well bread HILARY McNEVIN EATING OUT t’s reminiscent of nanna’s kitchen, with embroidered tableclothes dressing the two communal tables in the small front room of this much-supported organic bakery. One table is old-school formica, the other dark wood. It’s a bit of a mish-mash but that’s Crumbs. This tried-and-true bakery recently opened a second shop in North Melbourne, but the flagship Ascot Vale store is still holding its own, serving wonderfully fresh sourdough loaves and pizza slices as well as luscious cakes, doughnuts and biscuits. Crumbs Organic Bakehouse has made its own stamp on Melbourne, supplying gluten-free
I
products as well as vegan morsels, all the while maintaining their quality of product. Don’t expect sticky gooey over-iced cakes here, not a lot of sugar is used in the cakes, giving emphasis to the produce used. An orange and poppy seed cake is a fine example of this. Its moist texture not overpowered by sugar, rather the oranges subtle, natural sweetness shines through with the savoury texture of the poppy seeds. Before you tuck into the sweet treats here, bear in mind the limited but delicious savoury selection of pizza slices ($4), with toppings such as grilled eggplant, pumpkin and mushroom. The slices we choose are large slabs of chewy dough topped with roasted capsicum, onion, lots of green olives, mushrooms and plump chunks of roasted tomato. It’s a vegan pizza slice, so there’s no cheese but there doesn’t need to be, the freshness of the vegetables and their flavours more than make up lack of mozzarella. All the pizzas, loaves, doughnuts and muffins sit on a simple wooden shelf in the front window — it’s very low key here and the room does look a bit worn out but that makes it more endearing.
CRUMBS ORGANIC BAKEHOUSE Address: 170 Union Road, Ascot Vale Contact: 9375 4777 Hours: Sunday-Wednesday, 11am-9pm; Thursday-Saturday, 11am-10pm Unlicensed Cash Only
There are quaint touches — large, glass juice bottles used as vases holding carnations and a retro fridge filled with organic soft drinks and juices. The coffee is good and attracts a stream of people who constantly come in and out of the shop for a decent brew to have in or takeaway, or to grab a muffin or loaf of bread for home. There’s a friendliness and ease created by the gentle service at Crumbs Organic Bakehouse. Nanna would be proud.
Sweet success: Crumbs has an old-world charm that extends from its wholesome vegan-friendly treats to the decor. Picture: Scott McNaughton

ADVERTISERS PLEASENOTE Much hardship and difficulty is caused to job-seekers by misleading advertising placed in employment columns. Our Professional Employment and Situations Vacant columns are reserved for advertisements which carry a SPECIFIC and GENUINE offer of employment. All employment advertisements must state clearly the type of job offered and remuneration offered. (i.e. salary package, retainer plus commission or commission only). "Commission only'' jobs are only accepted in these columns PROVIDED that this is clearly stated in the ad AND the employer is paying Workcover and Superannuation. If not, then these advertisements MUST be placed in an alternate classification such as Self Employment Opportunities. Placing misleading advertisements is an offence against the Competition and Consumer Act and all advertisements are subject to the publisher's approval. For further advice contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission on 9290 1800.

n upgraded Fiesta will go on sale in Australia next year. As often happens when a model ages, sales have slipped and Fiesta has dropped from fourth place at the end of 2011 to sixth currently. In a time-honoured way of improving sales, Ford Australia has introduced a combination of price cuts and additional features. The Fiesta range has been trimmed, with the Ecotec fuel-sipper hatch being dropped in February and the sedan in July, leaving just the hatchback body style with the choice of 1.6-litre petrol or diesel engines. Buyers at the lowest end of the range get the biggest savings with entry-level CL Fiesta not only getting $1500 shaved off its recommended retail price but adding curtain/ thorax and driver’s knee airbags and a seatbelt reminder at no extra cost. This extra safety equipment was previously in a $600 Safety Pack so the overall saving is effectively $2100. The higher-specced models in the Ford

Fiesta also get price cuts, although less significant than those with the CL. Equipment levels on these models are unchanged. Fiesta hatch still retains the futuristic styling with its big Aston Martin style grille, sculpted headlights and aerodynamic roof line. Add some real driving enjoyment and significant price cuts and it’s a real bargain. Prices for the Ford Fiesta hatch range start at $15,490, not including government or dealer delivery charges.

Rookie a true players’ player BY LANCE JENKINSON NOT only did rookie sensation Sam Huxtable take out the Werribee Hockey Club’s player’s player of the year award, the consistent forward polled votes in every game. The homegrown 18-year-old has played senior hockey in years past, but this winter was his first with a fulltime focus on his state league commitments and it showed. Huxtable told the Weekly it was the biggest honour to be voted by his peers as the standout player for 2012. ‘‘It’s really good because it’s the people you play with who are giving the votes,’’ he said. ‘‘They know if you’ve had an impact on the game. ‘‘I’m pretty stoked, it’s the first year of properly playing seniors out of the under-18s.’’ Huxtable was entrusted with the responsibilities on the Tigers’ frontline. He would also be used as a makeshift midfielder in the absence of Jayden Street. The chance to see the game from a different point of view helped him when he returned to the forward line. So, too, did the words of advice of
co-coach Russell Skoglund, who worked tirelessly with Huxtable and the rest of the attacking players to better their games. ‘‘He had a big impact on the forwards,’’ Huxtable said. ‘‘He’d sit down with us 30 minutes before training started to show us where to lead and go over the set-up.’’ Huxtable has come a long way in a short space of time. His greatest strength is his ability to read the play and has some neat stick skills. What he will be working on over the summer is improving his goals-to-shots ratio. ‘‘I want it to be up around 75 per cent,’’ he said. The Tigers were the surprise of the men’s state league 3 this year. They made it all the way to the grand final, but suffered a ‘‘shattering’’ 1-0 loss to the Casey Cannons. Huxtable said the experience of being part of a grand final team at such a young age was priceless. ‘‘Not many people get a chance to play in a state league grand final at the age of 18. I know some people that have played 30 years and never played in one. It was pretty exciting.’’
Peer support: Werribee forward Sam Huxtable was the best in his teammates’ eyes. Picture: Cathy Jackson
The Bees finished the season on a low note with three straight losses, but faced champions Pascoe Vale twice in that period. Meanwhile, Hoppers Crossing completed its dream season
in provisional league 2 with a 2-1 victory over Epping City at Grange Reserve on Saturday. Go to wyndhamweekly.com.au for a photo gallery.

AFTER two years of struggles in the top flight, Werribee Giants will return to the field as a Baseball Victoria summer league division 2 club on Sunday. The Giants’ first assignment back in the second tier will be OrmondGlenhuntly at President’s Park. Giants catcher Oliver Box said his teammates had been getting itchy feet and could not wait to get back on the diamond. ‘‘It’s good to get back together and get it going again. We’re going to go out with all guns blazing.’’ The Giants have wooed the familiar face of shortstop Mike Baillargeon back to the club. The US import played at McGrath Road three years ago and his stint was deemed an unmitigated success. The passionate 25-year-old from Massachusetts will bolster the infield, provide solid numbers in the batting line-up and boost the energy within the team. In the past two seasons, the Giants have opted to fill their import position with a starting pitcher. Brandon Griffin has not returned, despite solid productivity under trying circumstances. ‘‘We had to ride on the back of our import pitcher in division 1 almost to the point of abusing them. We lacked the pitching depth over the longer season,’’ Box said. ‘‘In division 2, there’s six or seven less games, so we can start developing a few of our younger guys.’’ Chris Webb will step up as the Giants’ No.1 starter this season. Box will also take on extra responsibilities. The 21-year-old will be the playing assistant to head coach Earl Byrne. The first pitch is at 3.30pm. — Lance Jenkinson

Jets find coach in backyard
We were our own worst enemy at times, Geelong played extremely well and forced their way out to a 48 point lead. At the end of the game, as upset as I was about the loss, I was really proud of the efforts of the players. The easy option would have been to throw in the towel when things weren’t going our way, or when it looked like the margin had blown out too much. We didn’t. We played the game out and nearly got there. It’s a massive lesson in life. Failure does not cope with perseverance. If you stick at it, anything is possible. We may not have won, but we didn’t fail. Moving on: Torin Baker (above back right and below) playing for Spotswood, battles with Hoppers Crossing midfielder Brad Murphy during this year’s WRFL finals. Picture: Cathy Jackson making an impact with the Jets during the past four years. He worked as the midfield coach this season after a year as defensive coach. Baker arrived at the Jets with a physical education teaching background. Sexton is thrilled with the appointment, saying it would freshen up the club and give it a chance to open a new chapter. He said the club was in good shape because of Kretiuk’s sustained hard work. ‘‘In my time, we’ve had Leigh Tudor, Garry Hocking, albeit they lasted 12 months with us, Mark Neeld for three years and he’s now coach of Melbourne; Steven’s been here five years, but if you ran a line through win-loss ratios and our performances over the years, Steven ranks with all of those in terms of outcomes at the Jets.’’

the inside word with SCOTT WEST
The siren sounds and in the blink of an eye, it’s all over. One team with their hands in the air, and the other, their heads in their hands. Unfortunately the latter was us on the weekend. That’s what the preliminary final does. It gives one team the chance of glory and for the other, it signals the end of the season. It’s a brutal game which can be very cruel at times. To see the emotion and tears in the rooms post game really emphasised that. You work hard for so long, you do all the right things and you don’t get there by 5 lousy points.
BY LANCE JENKINSON THE Western Jets searched extensively for a new coach in conjunction with AFL Victoria, but the whole time the right man was under their noses. The Jets did not have to stray too far from home to find that their assistant coach of the past two seasons, Torin Baker, was the perfect fit for the position. Baker, who only a fortnight ago played for Spotswood in a gut-wrenching one-point Western Region Football League division 1 grand final loss to the Altona Vikings, will replace long-time head coach Steven Kretiuk, who left after five years. ‘‘We’re really, really pleased with the appointment,’’ Jets region manager Shane Sexton told the Weekly yesterday. ‘‘It’s another point of view, another perspective and we expect him to do a really good job.’’ The Jets were able to speed up the process because of the early notice Kretiuk gave. He told the club before the end of the season he intended to leave. The club wasted no time advertising the position and working with AFL human resources to get a shortlist of suitable candidates. Final interviews were last week and Baker got the nod on Monday. His CV as a player and coach stacked up favourably. That he was involved with the Jets during the past four years in varying roles from fitness adviser to assistant coach at both under-16 and under-18 levels was a bonus. ‘‘Torin brings a fantastic football playing and coaching background,’’ Sexton said. As a player, Baker is a hard-at-it onballer. At his peak, he was playing with the Werribee Tigers in the Victorian Football League. Originally from Geelong, he won a Mathieson Medal for best and fairest in the Geelong Football League, came runner-up in the Maskell Medal in the Hampden Football League and was best on ground in last year’s WRFL grand final when Spotswood overcame Albion. Baker was a player-coach at Camperdown and playing assistant coach at St Joseph’s before

I guess as a coach, once the game is done a dusted and the raw emotions fade, you reflect on the year. As disappointing as that one loss is, there has been an amazing amount of hard work to get there. Success can be measured in different ways and on reflection, I believe we had a successful year overall. We had both teams play in preliminary finals, the development team finished second on the ladder and the seniors fourth, one game off top. We played in the Foxtel Cup Grand Final. We won games at the MCG, Etihad Stadium, the Gabba, North Ballarat, Coburg City Oval, Frankston, Box Hill, Casey Fields. We had the J.J. Liston Medallist from our club in Ben Ross. There is a lot positive and upside to our 2012 season. Footy is an industry that never stops. We always have to be looking forward so as we can build on what we have achieved this season in 2013. Our focus now is to maintain a good portion of our list and also go out and start recruiting players to replace those that will leave. Our major focus is to again put together a really strong list of Werribee players to have success in 2013, with the main aim -
