Labour of love,with no dramas

SARAH HARRISQUE SERA

So they called him Dexter.Like he wasn’t disadvantaged enough bybeing born to chemically dependent

parents; they had to go and name him after a TVserial killer.

Fortunately for young Dexter, he will besupported to some degree by the system.

Not so Victoria’s professional midwives.For the privilege of helping accommodate

young Dexter’s arrival, the attending midwifewill have clocked a HECs debt of tens ofthousands of dollars.

The midwife’s three years of full-time studieswill include 12 weeks of unpaid placement.

To qualify, she will also need to deliver 40babies. Any birth requiring forceps, vacuum,caesarian or where anyone else places a hand onthe baby’s head does not count.

She (or more infrequently he) is furtherrequired to complete the “follow-through jour-ney”, which means working unpaid, in their owntime, with another 40 pregnant women.

Student midwives are also encouraged toattend these births, which may mean staggeringto uni after spending up to 17 hours with alabouring mother. Should the student midwifemanage to survive long enough on a diet ofbaked beans and two-minute noodles after pay-ing hospital parking fees and criss-crossing thecity to attend pregnant women, they’ll receivethe princely sum of $22 an hour on graduation.

Small wonder then midwifery has such a highattrition rate. And if the result is Dexter? Themidwife does not judge. It’s a hallmark ofhumanity that hope, however faint, accompaniesevery newborn.

And who knows what the next bairn will bringunto the world? After all, it’s almost Christmas.

After Bosnian hell, a haven

Struggle ends: Selmir Gosto’s 13-year struggle to become an Australian citizen has ended happily.Picture: Michael Copp

BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK

BOSNIAN-born Selmir Gosto was only 11 whena landmine shattered his leg and claimed hisfather’s life.

He spent about four months in a Sarajevohospital before being brought to Australia forsurgery by Moira Kelly’s Children First Founda-tion. Now, after a 13-year-struggle, the Lavertonresident has been made an Australian citizen atage 28.

The former Moonee Ponds resident wasamong about 90 people sworn in at last month’sHobsons Bay’s Australian citizenship ceremony.

He says it is all thanks to Ms Kelly. ‘‘She’s beena big part of my life and will be for a long time. Ihave so much respect for that woman.’’

At the end of the war in Bosnia, Mr Gosto wasin a car with his father, grandfather and brotherwhen they drove over a landmine.

‘‘It was after the war had finished in ’95, whenthe peace agreement was signed.

‘‘We went back to visit [our] house becausethat area was declared safe under the UN.

‘‘We went back and we were unfortunateenough to come across the landmine.

‘‘My father died not long after that.‘‘Luckily, my brother was well enough after the

incident to go back to the city. He ran for ninemiles to save us.

‘‘I was pronounced dead in the hospital andthen doctors worked and worked on me and Icame round. I met Moira through my doctor,because I had to go back every couple of days tochange my dressing.’’

Mr Gosto suffered burns to 90 per cent of hisbody, which was embedded with hundreds ofpieces of shrapnel.

He was part of a second group of Bosnian chil-dren taken overseas by Ms Kelly for surgery andwas operated on at Cabrini Hospital, spendingabout five months as a patient.

Mr Gosto was offered a billet with a parishpriest at Hamilton and finished high schoolbefore graduating from Victoria University in2007 with a bachelor of arts degree in multi-media. He works as manager of a design group at

Open Universities Australia and volunteers withthe Children First Foundation, greeting childrenarriving at Melbourne Airport from the world’strouble spots.

Mr Gosto says he’s fallen in love with Austra-lia and, in particular, Melbourne’s west. ‘‘Iwouldn’t live anywhere else. I’ve always lived inthe west side since I moved to Melbourne.

‘‘I think the beach scene sets the standard forthe place, and it’s been good to me. Williams-town is my playground. We go fishing fromAltona. People don’t realise, here, how fortunatethey are, in every way you look at it.

‘‘For me, it was just having a steady job, havingthe opportunity to do what you want. You’re not

restricted, you can make your dreams happen.I suppose that’s what I’ve taken out of the oppor-tunity that I’ve been given.’’

He said becoming an Australian citizen was ahighlight of his life.

‘‘The place I’m in now, I feel safe, I don’t feelthreatened, I’ve got opportunities.

‘‘I’m in this country forever now. When I gotmy citizenship, it was like a ton was lifted frommy back and I can relax and just think aboutenjoying life now and not worrying about visasand when I have to submit my next application.

‘‘You look at the world and anything is pos-sible for you because you’ve been down so low.

‘‘Australia is your oyster.’’

Low and dry: no buses for Valley LakeBY EUGENE BENSON

Inevitable delays: Transport Minister Terry Muldersays an inquiry will be held into bus services in ValleyLake. Picture: Pat Scala

THE State Government’s controversial decisionto not fund a bus service through East Keilor’sgrowing new estate Valley Lake has been raisedin State Parliament.

Last month, the Moonee Valley Weeklyreported exclusively that Public TransportVictoria (PTV) had no plans for a bus to servicethe booming housing estate, despite a requestfrom its government-funded developer PlacesVictoria and the estate being designed with wideroads to accommodate buses.

In correspondence seen by the Weekly, PTVwrote to Places Victoria on October 23

confirming that despite the request for a service,‘‘there was no funding available for new orimproved services’’ in East Keilor.

Places Victoria had suggested to PTV thatKastoria Bus Company’s route 475 from MooneePonds to East Keilor be extended just 2.6 kilo-metres to accommodate Valley Lake.

In the last week of Parliament for the year,Niddrie MP Ben Carroll called on TransportMinister Terry Mulder to review the decision.

In Parliament, Mr Carroll stated that a bus ser-vice to Valley Lake was a recommendation thatcame out of a Brimbank-Hume-Melton-MooneeValley bus service review, and by the end of theyear there was expected to be 600 residents in the

estate without adequate access to public trans-port.

‘‘I call on the Minister for Public Transport toprovide a bus service to Valley Lake Estate for thewell-being of residents of the government’s ownnewly developed estate.’’

Mr Mulder’s reply was that he would ask Pub-lic Transport Victoria to look at Mr Carroll’srequest after ‘‘we have conducted an analysis ofwhat is happening in the area with regard to busroutes’’.

Mr Carroll told the Weekly he looked forwardto further correspondence from the minister andwould continue to push for the extension ofKastoria bus route 475.

Double whammy: onecar hits two homes

Lucky escape: No one was hurt when acar crashed into these two homes inMoonee Ponds. Picture: Michael Copp

DAMAGE costing hundreds ofthousands of dollars may have beencaused to two terrace houses inMoonee Ponds after a car careenedthrough a front fence and ploughedinto a wall between the properties lastweek.

The driver lost control of the carabout 9.30pm on Thursday, crashinginto the houses in Margaret Street.

Nobody was injured in the incident.Metropolitan Fire Brigade officers

spent two hours at the scene, firstlyhelping a young couple from one ofthe houses and then stabilising thewall to ensure it didn’t collapse.

The other house was empty.Commander Darren Conlin said a

structural assessment by the councilwould determine the extent of thedamage, but it was possible the entirewall between the houses would haveto be rebuilt.

‘‘It’s caused significant damage, but

the issue was about further structuralcollapse of the buildings,’’ Mr Conlinsaid. ‘‘There was potential with theway that the wall was for furthermovement in the night to cause thewhole wall to come down.

‘‘There was certainly significantdamage to the front of the properties,but if they have to redo that wall,potentially it’s hundreds of thousandsof dollars worth.’’

Mr Conlin said that collapse couldhave endangered gas and electricitysupplies to the buildings, causing aneven more complex incident.

The urban search and rescue teamspent about two hours at the sceneusing timber and metal props to sup-port the wall.

Bombers to reach for the skies

Write down: An artist’s impression of the Bombers’ new Tullamarine base, which hasmade a dent in their operating budget.

Essendon Football Club is blamingdifficult economic conditions foran operating profit downturn in

2012 of 60 per cent. The $401,429 netprofit, though described by CEO IanRobson as a “healthy” return, is wellshort of the $1.024million the previ-ous year. Membership was down by2563 and support for corporate andcoterie functions fell significantly.

Fortunately, the club has a strongasset base of more than $35million toweather the storm. The club is nowpoised to shift from the worst to thebest conditions in the AFL when theybegin to move from Windy Hill to theHigh Performance Centre at Tullamar-ine early next year. After initiallylooking for $30million to build Tulla-

marine, Essendon cut its costs to$25million, but has raised only$19million to date.

The club will go into debt to pay forthe shortfall in donations and grants,but expects to be debt-free by 2015. Soit needs to rebuild its membership baseand look for those who can afford it,to help pay for Tullamarine with taxdeductible donations.

Bill posters aren’t bill payersArrogant music festival promoterswould have enjoyed last week. Cheapposters advertising the summer andautumn concerts were illegally pastedon both sides of Epsom and Racecourseroads immediately before the Stereoson-ic music festival at the Showgrounds onDecember 1. And there they remainedlast week.

As many as 50 poles littered fromLaings Road, through Newmarketshopping centre and almost down toBoundary Road, North Melbourne.

Council staff are cleaning up the polesthis week, powerless to charge concertorganisers for the work and unable to

lodge formal prosecutions unless theycatch offenders at work. These are thesame promoters whose concerts keeplocal residents awake at night, who defypermit conditions and often go beyondthe curfew hour. At least there are nomore concerts at the Showgrounds untilFebruary. The council wants us to helpthem with the hot spots for street pole

advertising so dodgy material can bequickly removed. They could startaround the Essendon-Keilor College inBuckley Street where last week back-yard entrepreneurs were promoting kit-tens and motorbikes for sale, roofpainting and a schoolies concert. If youwant the council to remove posters,phone 9243 8888.

Annual night race a winnerFew of us leave after a day at the raceswith extra money in our pocket.

But the mayor’s annual race night atMoonee Valley is always a winner.

This year the October event raised$22,000. More than half will go to ourfriendship city, Liquica in East Timor,where two in five people live on lessthan 55 cents per day.

The money helps establish a technicalresource hub to improve informationcommunications and technology acrossthe community. From the remainingfunds, $7500 will kick start theEssendon Historical Society’s $250,000campaign to restore its headquarters atthe old Essendon courthouse and $2500will be donated to the Victoria PoliceBlue Ribbon Foundation.

Credit to Moonee Valley Council fordeveloping this project which wasanother great initiative launched byformer mayor, the late Lydia Kauzlaric,a decade ago.

Six-lane super road plan to break gridlock

Gridlock: A proposed road link to Melbourne Airport is hoped will ease the squeeze. Picture: Ken Irwin/The Age

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM

TULLAMARINE residents hope a planned six-lane ‘super road’ aimed at easing congestionaround Melbourne Airport could be the answerto years of traffic gridlock on Melrose Drive.

Last week, Melbourne Airport announced theproposal for an $80million extension of AirportDrive.

It would mean commuters from the westwould have a direct link to the airport via theWestern Ring Road, freeing up the TullamarineFreeway.

The expansion will include a 3.7-kilometresextension of Airport Drive from Sharps Road toMercer Drive. The project is expected to take 21months to complete and also include a sharedpedestrian and cycling path.

It is expected to halve the number of vehicleson Keilor Park Drive and decrease the amount oftraffic on Melrose Drive by 5 per cent. Expectedto take 21 months, the works will include ashared pedestrian and cycling path.

Yuroke resident Sue Aikas, who also has ahouse in Tullamarine, said the new link wouldprovide many benefits. However, ideally, she saidshe would prefer a monorail or rail link from thecity to the airport.

‘‘I can see it as being a good thing if it’s donesensibly, you don’t want to congest Westfield[Airport Drive] anymore because it’s such anightmare,’’ she said.

‘‘To ease congestion to the airport there shouldbe a monorail from the city. But anything that’sgoing to relieve congestion on Melrose Drive andMickleham Road is good.’’

Keilor Ratepayers Association president SusanJennison said peak hour traffic on Keilor ParkDrive had been a nightmare for residents formore than a decade.

‘‘It’s a huge investment and there are a lot ofplanning divisions involved in a project thisgreat,’’ she said.

‘‘But I think it [the road link] needs to comeinto fruition if this third runaway is to goahead. . . There will be millions of extra passen-gers on planes, and these people have to use ourroads to get to the airport, so major adjustmentsneed to be made.’’

Melbourne Airport spokeswoman AnneGillett said the project was part of a $1 billionupgrade to improve terminals and the roadnetwork to the airport. She said constructioncould commence as early as next year.

Melbourne Airport plans to increase passen-gers from 28 million to 60 million over the nextdecade.

Ms Gillett said submissions on the road linkand the airport’s expansion plans could be madeuntil March 8 next year.

Submissions can be made by writing to thePlanning Manager, Melbourne Airport, LockedBag 16, Tullamarine, 3043.

At-risk youths get anudge in jobs queueBY EUGENE BENSON

THE Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley LocalLearning and Employment Network has beengranted $50,000 to better run an employmentprogram for at-risk youth.

The department of planning and communitydevelopment has funded the ‘transition toindependence’ program through the ‘communitysupport grants program’.

Western Metropolitan MP Andrew Elsburysays the grant would deliver a program tosupport highly vulnerable young people intowork.

“The ‘transition to independence’ programwill provide at-risk young people with assertiveoutreach, support, training and mentoring to getthem into sustainable employment,’’ Mr Elsburysaid.

“This funding from the Victorian Coalitiongovernment will help to provide meaningful andpositive outcomes by linking young people to theservices they need to find work and stayemployed”.

Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley LocalLearning and Employment Network chief exec-utive Sue Fowler said the network supportedagencies already out there doing the work.

She said in was her organisation’s role toensure all support agencies dealing with at-riskyoung people were co-ordinated and effective.

‘‘It’s about making sure you are getting youngpeople into a program they want to do and thentransitioning that into a workplace.

‘‘Young people who are marginalised need alot of support, but the support needs to be co-ordinated. That’s what the funding is for so wecan work with all those other agencies.’’

Mrs Fowler said the Transition to Independ-ence program had been running to great effectfor two years.

Local councils and not-for-profit communityorganisations can apply for community supportgrants at any time.

Grant guidelines and application forms areavailable from the Department of Planning andCommunity Development’s grants website:dpcd.vic.gov.au/communitysupportgrants

Ramped up: ambowaiting times soarBY BENJAMIN MILLAR

SAVAGE budget cuts are causing paramedics towait more than 1000 hours a month stuck out-side major western suburbs hospitals, accordingto documents released under freedom of inform-ation.

Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said the newdata showed a blowout in ‘ramping’ time whileambulances wait for free emergency beds.

Ramping is time spent by ambulance-bornepatients waiting for an available emergency bed.

“Ambulance ramping is a symptom of astruggling health system, because overworkedhospitals don’t have the resources on hand toaccept these patients,” Mr Noonan said.

He blamed the state government’s $616 mil-lion health funding cuts for the rapid rise.

Ramping times in Melbourne’s west are up bymore than 400 hours per month compared towhen the Baillieu government was elected in2010.

Transfer times at Western Hospital inFootscray have soared from 307 hours a month

in 2009-10 to 563 hours a month in 2011-12 —an 83 per cent increase.

The transfer time at Sunshine Hospital hasjumped 61 per cent and at Werribee MercyHospital by 55 per cent.

Mr Noonan said the ramping contributed toone in four ambulances failing to respond to life-threatening emergencies within the government’starget of 15 minutes.

But a spokeswoman for Health Minister DavidDavis said Mr Noonan was “comparing appleswith oranges” by comparing six months of datawith full-year data. “The government acknowl-edges that ambulance ramping is a serious issuethat needs to be tackled after 11 years of Labormismanagement. That is why the government isinvesting $151 million to deliver 310 new para-medics and 30 patient transport officers.”

She said the Department of Health wasworking with health services and AmbulanceVictoria to tackle increasing demand on servicesand minimise patient transfer times.

A Western Health spokeswoman said ramping“is a matter for Ambulance Victoria”.

Once, rights were absent:now they can’t be abused

Tailored support: Vietnamese Women’s Association’s Cam Nguyen and Kim Thien-Truong. Picture: Darren Howe

PREVENTING family violence among Vietnam-ese migrants will be the focus of a new westernsuburbs program.

Australian Vietnamese Women’s Associationproject officer Kim Thien-Truong said familyviolence, poverty, unemployment and drugs weremajor issues facing the migrant community, withwomen and children the silent victims.

‘‘In Vietnamese culture, women tend to hideaway from problems inside their home,’’ the DeerPark resident said.

‘‘Family violence happens, but women shut thedoor and don’t let people inside to let them know.They are isolated, alone and scared in a newplace where they don’t know many people orwhere to go to get support.’’

Data from the 2011 census reveals that 17,920Vietnamese migrants live in Brimbank, up from15,116 in 2006.

Ms Thien-Truong said low rates of familyviolence being reported spurred the AVWA tocreate a women’s focused program.

‘‘We come from a country where there aren’tthe same rights for women that there are here.’’

Ms Thien-Truong said the AVWA would

encourage women to come together and beempowered through activities like swimming,cooking classes, language and literacy seminars.

‘‘We don’t think it is effective to simply narrowit down to family violence seminars . . . we thinkby encouraging women to come together to dosomething they love it will strengthen their tieswith one another and encourage them to open upabout their own experiences.’’

The program is funded by a $7800 grant fromBrimbank Council.

Women’s Health West also runs regularprograms for migrant women.

Health promotions officer Kirsten Campbellsaid: ‘‘We have a financial literacy program in thewest which focuses on Vietnamese women andhelps them to understand money and govern-ment systems in Australia including how tomanage bills, advice on the right bank to use andbudget. We have seminars that focus on familyviolence, financial abuse and gambling andinform women where they can seek help.’’

The AVWA program begins in January.Details: 9396 1922.

INSIDESTORY

LaneTheir pseudonyms won’t befound at the NGV, but the likes ofBaby Guerrilla, Urbanmonk, andNomad prefer it that way.ROBERT FEDELE fleetinglyinhabits the world ofMelbourne’s street artists.

We organise to meet on a Friday morningon Brunswick Road, opposite the traintracks along the Upfield line, scene of

perhaps her most noticeable and celebrated ofworks.

The imposing piece, a 10-metre wide image ofa couple clinging to each other in flight, lights upa dreary Melbourne day.

The piece is pasted on to the wall of an other-wise nondescript terrace house.

Its creator is less conspicuous, but purely bydesign. ‘‘I want people not to know who I am,’’she later reveals.

A few minutes later she arrives decked in ablack top and pink tights, a bucket and paint-brush in one hand and a folding ladder snuggledunder her arm.

‘‘I wore exactly what I was wearing the day Iput it up,’’ says the Footscray-based artist, whocalls herself Baby Guerrilla and is renowned foreclectic paste-ups across Melbourne.

The one we’re here to see went up six monthsago.

It began as a detailed ink sketch created in astudio before being cut out and glued to the wall.Other pieces in this series are scattered aroundBrunswick, Footscray and the CBD.

‘‘I’ve been working on this series of the couplefor quite a while. I’m actually doing another oneeven though I keep thinking it’s going to be thelast. I guess it’s a fun subject matter. There’ssomething about it that I keep returning to.’’

There must be something about street art, too— a movement that captured the imagination ofBaby Guerrilla years ago.

Trained as a painter at the Victorian College ofthe Arts, she took up street art as a hobby.

‘‘It just started as something I did at night. Itgrew from there. Anything you do you get betterat after a while. It opened up a whole new worldof possibilities.’’

It’s not long before we get on to the subject ofthe illegal nature of street art and the blurred linemany artists teeter on.

The Brunswick Road piece was put up early ona Sunday morning without permission of thehome’s owner.

Technically, it’s illegal, but no one has cared topull it down either.

‘‘The tenants who live there like it and arehappy with it,’’ Baby Guerrilla says.

‘‘I don’t know the owner. I’ve never spoken tothem. As you can see, there’s already graffitithat’s been there for years. Often that’s whyartists pick a wall. You don’t pick a wall that getsbuffed [cleaned all the time] because it’s notworth your while. It’s going to be taken down thenext day.’’ I ask if the anonymity of the genre

art’s right up their alley

contributes to its appeal, intrigue, and thrill.‘‘I know people who, if they reveal their iden-

tity, are gonna lose their job,’’ she says.‘‘I’ve lost a job before from them finding out I

do street art. There are repercussions.‘‘The cool thing about being anonymous is that

your art speaks for itself and that’s something Ialways wanted.’’

One street artist who has managed to crossinto the mainstream is Drew Funk.

On a sun-kissed Wednesday morning he’s chill-ing at the West 48 cafe in Essex Street, Footscray.

His girlfriend Rochelle works there and that’show he became buddies with the owners.

On the side of the building is a commissionedpiece by Drew, a mural of vibrant colours includ-ing dreamy elephants and plant life.

It took four days to complete and is a tribute tohis girlfriend and the family property where shegrew up in northern New South Wales.

Born in Malaysia, the 29-year-old moved toMelbourne in 2003 to study at RMIT.

He recalls the period fondly as a time when thestreet art scene was booming. He reels off names,including one ‘Ha Ha’, a stencil artist who hasgained cult status for his works, including paste-ups of outlaw Ned Kelly.

‘‘It started when I met Ha Ha,’’ Drew recalls.‘‘He invited me to share Blender Studios with himand Adrian Doyle. From then I started toquestion myself and decided to become a full-time artist.’’

Years on, he is still with Blender, a major hubfor the Melbourne street art scene based in the

CBD. Drew traces his own journey and trans-formation back to Malaysia where, as a 15-year-old kid, he began painting graffiti on walls.

These days he makes a living off commissionsand solo shows in galleries for the masses.

In January, he will launch a self-publishedbook detailing his 10 years as an artist at theNo Vacancy Gallery in the city.

He has no qualms about stepping into themainstream and says it’s all part of his evolution.

‘‘My energy came from graffiti bombing, sotagging the streets, the pure rage of just going outwith a can and just, you know . . .

‘‘I didn’t listen to people, but now I’m channel-ling [my art] into a more accepting type of imagefor people.’’

Still, Drew believes in raw street art.‘‘These guys, I give them their props because

they’re still doing it. People need to see it. Theimagery isn’t destroying public property; it’senhancing it.’’

One of the guys still keeping it real, so tospeak, is a street artist who goes by the nameUrbanmonk.

We meet in a dingy, lane off humming BarklyStreet in Footscray.

Urbanmonk, in dark shades and a hoodie, iscarrying a bucket of self-made glue that he brewsup in a big pot at home and a large paintbrushthat’s ‘‘seen a million years of use’’.

The laneway is scrawled with indecipherablegraffiti tags.

Urbanmonk’s work showing a dozen lego menin a line is peeling off the wall in some parts and

has been defaced in others, but he doesn’t mind,taking it as a compliment rather than an affront.

Urbanmonk started off tagging in his earlyteens and progressed to street art.

He tried doing stencils for a bit but found themtime-consuming and moved on to paste-ups.

‘‘If it’s too windy you can’t get it right and I justfound paste-ups much easier,’’ he says.

‘‘You can do the [artwork] at home and thentake them out and roll them up and away yougo.’’

Urbanmonk’s work is spread acrossMelbourne’s west.

‘‘I actually did these in the middle of the day,’’he says of the lego men. ‘‘I like to do it then justbecause people you would think would tell youoff mostly just ignore you. It’s less scary, in asense. Creeping around late at night, you’ve gotmore chance of getting busted by the cops.’’

Urbanmonk dabbles in paintings and sculptureand sells some of his work, but he says street artprovides a different kind of buzz.

‘‘I just find it a bit freer. It can’t be commodi-fied. I like the almost anarchistic element to it . . .kind of reclaiming disused and public spaces andsaying, ‘You can’t tell us we can’t do it’.’’

Is he afraid of being caught? ‘‘I’m probably abit naive about it because I haven’t ever reallybeen busted.’’

In Yarraville, ‘Nomad’ has long abandoned hisdays of tagging.

These days he’s moved on to larger murals andcommissioned works, like the one on the back ofa wall we’ve come to see.

It’s a majestic piece, originally drawn by Leon-ardo Da Vinci but then, after it went missing,being copied by another painter.

‘‘I thought I’d do a copy of a copy on the wall,’’Nomad says.

‘‘I don’t get negative reactions. I tend to spenda lot of time on things. It would be pretty odd ifsomeone was giving me a hard time about that.’’

Nomad sees his street art as a hobby, some-thing done for fun.

‘‘I’ll never stop doing it. But I don’t live to do iteither.’’

He also considers street art a young person’sgame.

‘‘It’s about energy. When you get older youdon’t have as much energy to go running outsneaking around at nighttime, jumping fences.’’

Nomad has seen the street art movementemerge in Melbourne, dating back to when hestarted out in the late ’80s to when he returned tothe scene in the late ’90s.

‘‘It’s thriving, but it fluctuates. For a few yearsit will be really big and then die down a bit . . .then get big again.’’

The idealistic Drew Funk reckons Melbournehas all the ingredients to be ‘‘as big as Berlin oneday and become the art centre of the world’’.

Baby Guerilla thinks art can inspire people,nothing more so than street art. ‘‘You put workin a gallery and it’s a totally different audience.You get a lot of feedback on the street, which iscool. Most people won’t go to see an exhibition,but they’ll get the chance to walk past. You’vegot a captive audience.’’

A goal for girl powerDick Reynolds would have been proud of her. In fact, this ‘footy nut’ hasjust won a scholarship in his name, writes Robert Fedele

On the ball: Madeline Keryk is flying the flag for the girls. Picture: Michael Copp

Growing up in a household with three olderbrothers, it’s little surprise that MadelineKeryk developed a passion for football.

But even the 17-year-old herself could not havepredicted just how big her obsession wouldbecome. ‘‘I ended up being the biggest footy nutin my family,’’ she laughs.

A star young footballer, Madeline was recentlyawarded the 2012 Dick Reynolds Youth SportScholarship by Moonee Valley Council. Theannual grant is awarded to talented youngsportspeople under 21.

In May, Madeline captained a successful Vic-torian team at the under-18 ‘youth girls nationalcarnival’ in Adelaide where she was named in theAll-Australian team.

‘‘That was just another highlight that topped itoff,’’ says Madeline of the carnival, which shedescribes as an ‘‘unbelievable’’ experience.

Madeline began playing Aussie Rules aged sixat the Aberfeldie Football Club. She playedalongside the boys up until under-14s and thenmoved to her current club, the St Albans Spurs

Youth Girls. ‘‘I love the unity you have with yourteam and teammates,’’ she says.

‘‘I would have liked to keep playing with theboys if I could. I didn’t know much aboutwomen’s football but since getting into it I’vediscovered there are a lot of opportunities ingirls’ footy.’’

The gun midfielder has sought to further hertraining by joining the Calder Cannons TAC Cupteam, honing her skills alongside the boys once aweek over the pre-season.

‘‘I don’t mind it [training with the boys]. It’sfine and I’m really enjoying it.

‘‘It’s very full-on and intense but really goodfor my development. It challenges me and pushesme to my limit to keep up with them.’’

Madeline is tackling year 12 next year at AveMaria College and hopes to become a sportsphysiotherapist, but she has no intention of slow-ing down her football activities.

Rather, she hopes to line up again next year atthe youth girls national carnival and then play ina senior women’s league.

Footscray filmmaker Amie Batalibasi is hoping her latest documentary will attract fishing enthusiasts hook, line and sinker.

Batalibasi is producing a documentary called Fishing for Culture, exploring the common threads of different cultures joined

by a love of fishing. The 31-year-old says she was drawn to the project as a way of helping people from migrant

backgrounds share their stories and passions. She is looking for up to eight people from different cultures to share their

stories, including how their migration experience changed their fishing habits, what fishing was like for them before

migrating and why fishing is important to them. To be involved, email [email protected] or visit facebook.com/

Korean barbie styleis food for the Seoul

HILARY McNEVINEATING OUT

TOODOURIAddress: 260 Victoria Street, North Melbourne

Contact: 9329 5556

Hours: Daily 5.30-10pm

Licensed

If Korean food is something you’re unsure of butwould like to explore, then there is a word bothour cultures embrace that is a great starting point

— barbecue.While they may not have thick lamb chops and

sausages on the grill, what you can experience atplaces like Toodouri is good quality produce withan authentic edge to it.

The room is quite dark at this two-levelrestaurant on Victoria Street, directly across theroad from the Queen Victoria Market.

Black and red walls close the space in and the

tables, which have individual barbecues built intothe centre of each, use gallon drums for table stands— also painted black.

Each table is dressed with a basket holdinglettuce leaves, and individual dishes filled withKorean soy bean paste and sesame oil with salt andpepper.

You know you’re in for an adventure when thesmells of garlic, chilli and hot grilling fill theair.

The service is immediately friendly and when wesit down we are handed large folders filled with allkinds of dishes — casserole, main dishes, charcoalbarbecue — we head for the latter.

I was unsure of where to start but was guidedthrough and given sound recommendations.

The Bulgogi ($15) is a classic Korean dish ofmarinated sirloin of beef.

Order anything from the barbecue section andone of the staff carefully carry out a steel basket ofburning coals, place it in the hole in the centre of thetable and put a hotplate over the top to cook themeat.

Once the meat is ready, take an iceberg lettuceleaf, a small helping of rice, the meat, some beanpaste, roll it up and tuck in. It’s a sweet, savoury,textural mouthful.

We also order some marinated pork belly ($14)which is too spicy for some at the table — so theyhappily bring out some plain pork too — and withthe barbecue you receive a pasta salad, pickled beansprouts and kimchi (the traditional Korean dish offermented cabbage and chilli).

The fun is in cooking your own food, while beingassisted in the appropriate way to enjoy anothercountry’s cuisine and custom.

So, if you feel like a barbecue, with a bit of adifference, Toodouri is well worth checking out.

Most wine drinkers will have a moment that makes an indelible imprint; when everything just clicks and the memory of

the wine stays with them forever.For Kevin McCarthy and wife Kathleen

Quealy, it was a bottle of Alsatian pinot gris bought from the old Richmond Hill Cellars in the mid-’80s. The wine was not only memorable for the two young Mornington Peninsula winemakers – it was life changing. “As we fi rst tasted a bottle of Alsace pinot gris we nearly fell off our chairs,” says McCarthy, whose pinot gris and pinot grigio have long set the standard for the variety in Australia.

Before the bottle had been emptied, McCarthy and Quealy were set on producing their own, but there were a few hurdles to jump before they made their fi rst pinot gris in 1992. “It was a step into the unknown, planting that pinot gris. Our resources back then amounted to a credit card – we were the classic two young kids with an idea,” McCarthy says. “When we decided to put it in, there were no nurseries that had it (for immediate purchase), so we had to go to Wagga Wagga to a

vineyard that had it planted to take cuttings.”The pair then had to convince the Mornington

Peninsula establishment. They wanted to plant the “wrong” type of pinot – the peninsula was pinot noir territory back then.

Success built quickly at McCarthy’s and Quealy’s T’Gallant winery (it’s now owned by Treasury Wine Estates and McCarthy still makes the wines), and after their third harvest the wines were quickly developing a following.

Today, more than 50 wineries on the Mornington Peninsula produce a pinot gris or

pinot grigio and 140 hectares are shaded by pinot gris vines.

The clay soils help to give the wines a richness, and a long ripening period – due to the region’s maritime climate of warm days and cool nights – means they generally have good fl avour development and good acidity. Peninsula pinot gris ages well. With time, the wine loses its fruit characteristics, develops savoury and spice characters and becomes more textural. ■

The right pinotBe tempted by fi fty shades of gris, writes Ben Thomas

Ten Minutes By Tractor 10X Pinot Gris 2010 (Mornington) $28; 14%★★★★★Just 252 dozen of this were made and it was

a stand-out at a recent tasting. It’s fermented

with wild yeast in old oak barrels and there’s

real character to this. Aromas of fresh-cut

pear, white peach, spice and smoky oak are

replicated with some plush intensity on the

palate. Drinkability is the key to this wine – I

found myself going back for more time and

again. With a silky-smooth texture, there’s a

bright line of mineral-laced acidity that drives

the fl avours on to a lengthy fi nish.

Gris or grigio?The same slightly pink, waxy-skinned grape produces pinot gris and pinot grigio. Traditionally,

the grape is picked early in north-eastern Italy to produce crisp grigio, while in France’s Alsace

region they pick their grapes later and riper to produce the more textural gris. However, there’s

a huge swing between crisp and textural and a lot of grey areas in between. “The market is

confused. There’s no way you can categorise gris/grigio as a style, nothing hard and fast, so we

had to create a new language,” says Kevin McCarthy, who has been working with scientists at

the Australian Wine Research Institute to develop the Pinot G scale. This categorises wines on

a 10-point scale from crisp to luscious and is starting to appear on more back labels. “The idea

with the Pinot G scale is to empower the consumer so they don’t have to guess.”

THE PERKS OF BEING AWALLFLOWER (M)Stars: Emma Watson, Logan LermanDirector: Stephen Chbosky

Perks is fairly formulaic teen fare, writes Myke Bartlett

Charlie (Logan Lerman) is asocially awkward teen, recover-ing from his best friend’s suicide.

Like every other teenager, he’sconvinced nobody understands him sohe’s astonished to find camaraderiewith a bunch of precocious outcasts,including proto-hipster Sam (EmmaWatson) and her gay stepbrotherPatrick (Ezra Miller).

Set in 1991 — which isn’timmediately spelt out, leaving theaudience to wonder how these teenshave heard of a “mixtape” — Perks isfairly formulaic teen fare. It only tripsup when striving to be different.

We know Sam is edgy because shelistens to The Smiths and loves TheRocky Horror Picture Show (that’swhat “deep” teens are always into,after all). And yet we’re supposed to

believe neither she nor any of her ganghas ever heard of David Bowie.

Miller is a standout as Patrick, butonly if you can forget his recent turn asthe eponymous psycho in We Need ToTalk About Kevin. Otherwise, it’sdifficult to read that mad, camp gleamin his eye as being innocent.

Former wooden wizardess Watsonis better than expected, generatingenough warmth for us to believeCharlie might fall under her spell.

Perks skates around darkerelements, and while too cute to beconfronting, it’s an engaging, enter-taining slice of adolescence.

Be your bestDon’t let poor dental hygiene leave a bad taste in your mouthFor more than 30 years, Dr Jeffrey Lipshutz

has been looking after the dental health of people in and around Avondale Heights. While he and his team, including Dr Jolvin Lee, deliver all facets of dentistry, he has some particular advice on oral health for women.‘‘Hormonal changes throughout a woman’s life can increase the risk of tooth and gum disease, so good hygiene and oral health is especially important for them. Tender, bleeding gums, aggravated by change in hormone levels are more likely to harbour plaque bacteria — this can eventually lead to gingivitis, then on to periodontitis and possible tooth loss,’’ Dr Lipshutz explains.‘‘Brushing two to three times a day and fl ossing daily will reduce plaque build-up, but avoiding high-sugar foods, chewing sugarless gum and drinking mainly water and milk are also recommended.’’A surge in hormones during pregnancy is also associated with gum disease, so it’s very important that extra care in oral hygiene is taken to limit problems. If bleeding or swelling of the gums occurs, a visit to the dentist is necessary.‘‘Morning sickness with vomiting can cause tooth enamel damage from stomach acid so

using a fl uoride mouthwash to neutralise acid is advisable. It’s good to avoid sweet or sticky foods and, to satisfy cravings, nuts are a good alternative.Menopause presents other potential problems. Women may experience a dry or burning mouth, bad tastes and pain, all of which can be relieved by continuing good oral hygiene. Hormone replacement therapy may also cause increased bleeding, swelling and redness in the gums.Many heart medicines, antidepressants, anti-allergy medication, fl uid tablets and sedatives can cause a dry mouth, with the decreased saliva increasing the likelihood of decay. Salivary substitutes can be discussed with Dr Lipshutz, as can any other dental problem that arises.The clinic also offers a teeth whitening service.

Avondale Heights Dental Clinic, at 45 Military Road, Avondale Heights, opens 8.30am-5.30pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; 8.30am-7pm Tuesday; 8.30am-noon Saturday. Inquiries: 9318 5804 oravondaleheightsdental.com.au

Flavoursof the bushWith the use of native herbs and spices

becoming increasingly popular with chefs, chances are you’ll fi nd some on your plate when dining out next. And they’ll not only pack a fl avoursome punch but also add colour and texture to many dishes.The following Aussie bush tucker may appear on a restaurant’s food descriptions:Wattle seeds: A native spice with a strong coffee/chocolate fl avour with a nutty aroma. Chefs may use them to fl avour, among others, ice-cream, biscuits and bread.Lemon myrtle: A rainforest spice with a citrus and lemongrass aroma and fl avour, this goes well with seafood, Thai dishes, soups and cheesecakes.Bush tomato: These tasty natives can be eaten whole or ground (known as akudjura by Aborigines). They rub shoulders well with a cheese platter or olive oil dip, while akudjura is moreish as dukkah or served with eggs.Pepperberries: The purple-coloured berries are used whole or ground and have a spicy,

yet sweet, taste that complements pasta or steak sauce.Aniseed myrtle: Licorice and ouzo lovers will appreciate the smooth, sweet anise fl avours that come from this native spice. Icecream, fi sh, steamed rice and tea all benefi t from its zing.Menu items such as bush-tomato dip, lemon-myrtle pancakes, wattle seed icecream, steak with pepperberry jus and aniseed-myrtle lamb shanks are all popping up as chefs embrace the use of native ingredients.And while on the bush tucker bandwagon why not try a refreshing cocktail made from wild hibiscus: fi ll a tall glass with ice, add two stems of fresh mint, two sliced limes and chopped hibiscus fl owers. In a cocktail shaker, combine two shots of white rum, one shot of hibiscus syrup, and lime juice. Shake well, strain into the glass and top with soda water.

An orchestrain jarsWhen 19-year-old Michael Bikicki came

to Australia from Yugoslavia in 1969 he put his classical music career on hold, fi nding little opportunity to practice his talents despite accomplishments gained at the Vienna Conservatory of Music.He became a man of many skills, not the least performing with the likes of Renee Geyer and Brian Cadd and writing songs for Tina Arena. But his extraordinary life story was soon to take a tragic turn when his wife Piera became a paraplegic following a series of horrifying events surrounding the birth and subsequent death of their second-born child.Michael, a heart and soul musician, found himself in the role of carer and by necessity on the cusp of a new fi eld of creativity — making his ‘music’ in jars of preserves.His range of jams, sauces and chutneys is gob-smacking. Michael invents and sells them through his Black Forest Organics business in Woodend, a humble set-up delivering exceptional quality that wins the highest praise.George Calombaris declared his Oxford marmalade the best he’s ever tasted, according to Michael, but

he counts praise for it from a Scottish doyen of preserves as an even greater coup.His most awarded jam is the strawberry, a luscious spread that’s won gold at the Sydney Fine Food awards, more than 20 fi rsts at the Melbourne Show and was personally discovered by the Pancake Parlour boss who snaffl ed it for his kitchens.As further acknowledgement of his amazing talents, Michael has been invited by MasterChef to be part of an upcoming Tastes of London event — but (any wonder) he’s too jammed up to attend!Creative ingredient combinations such as blueberry and lime, quince and strawberry and apple and mint — to name a few — are partly why Michael’s preserves are magical. Another is the love and genius of Michael himself, a man with a big heart and a lust for life.Put aside any preconceptions that jam is just jam: this man’s jam is seriously good. And his superlative mango chutney is another story ...

Whistling as she worksShannon Colgan has bounced her way into a sports career, writes Rebecca Miller

Watching her brother play AFLfootball, along with a love ofsport generally, led Shannon

Colgan, 18, to become a field umpire.‘‘A teacher from school — who was

part of the Western Region FootballLeague — started an academy andbecause I loved footy I decided to joinand give umpiring a go,’’ Shannonsays.

‘‘I started helping at my brother’sfooty games when they were short onumpires. It gave me a sniff of what itwas like.’’

After a couple of weeks training onbasic umpiring skills, Shannonumpired her first game with a mentorto show her the ropes.

The teenager has now been umpir-ing in the WRFL since 2009, trainingon Monday and Wednesday nights,

and is one of only two field umpires inthe league.

‘‘There are more women working asgoal or boundary umpires, but it’smostly guys in the league. I love beinginvolved in the game. It’s given meskills, confidence and socialopportunities.’’

The young sportswoman got to runonto the ground at Etihad Stadiumduring this year’s NAB Cup competi-tion and went into the rooms to seehow the umpires prepare for theirgames.

‘‘I umpired at five Auskick games atthe MCG and Etihad last year.’’

This year, Shannon had the pleasureof meeting Chelsea Roffey, a goalumpire in the AFL grand final inSeptember. ‘‘It was great to meetChelsea and to see how much you can

achieve if you set your mind to it.’’Shannon umpires division one,seniors’ football games on Saturdays,and juniors on Sundays from April toSeptember. ‘‘I’m pretty sporty. I usedto play basketball and netball and doathletics.’’ She’s also a member of theYouth Girls Academy, one of 13 fieldumpires from the Melbourne metroarea, and says the academy gives herthe chance to hone her skills.

Shannon says she’ll always maketime for umpiring. ‘‘Next year I’mgoing to travel overseas, but I also planon umpiring and I’m hoping to studybusiness and sports management.’’

For other young women interestedin umpiring, she has this advice: ‘‘Takethe risk and get your foot in the door.It’s a great opportunity to get involvedwith footy.’’

Futuristic Veloster gets a turbo boostEwan Kennedy road tests Hyundai’s beefed-up ground breaker

Striking appearance: Fascinating styling of the Hyundai Veloster draws stares from all directions.

The turbocharged version of the HyundaiVeloster, tagged the SR, has only been inAustralia a few months but is already gener-

ating plenty of sales.When launched in non-turbo format in Febru-

ary, the Hyundai that looked like a coupe on oneside and a five-door hatch on the other created ahuge number of stares and comments during ourentire test period.

Some felt it needed more power, though otherssaid it had the sort of engine performance thatpleased drivers who enjoyed the decision makingnecessary to keep their Veloster in the correctgear to get the best out of the 103 kilowatts ofpower on offer. They also appreciated the lowprice tag of the non-turbo — it began at anappealing $23,990 in six-speed manual format.

In any case, there’s now a choice in Velosterengine power thanks to the introduction of ahigh(ish) performance SR model.

With a 46 per cent increase in power and aneven more impressive 60 per cent more torque, ithas a lot more poke.

The Veloster SR has minimal turbo lag and asmooth push in the back. But if you’re lookingfor a drag racer, the Hyundai Veloster SR Turbomay not be your best bet.

As this isn’t a full-blown sports coupe,Hyundai has kept the price of the Veloster SRdown by restricting engine torque to the frontwheels to prevent wheel spin and understeer.

Hyundai Veloster SR Turbo is even more strik-ing in appearance than the standard Veloster, asit’s even more radical in its shape. The front grilleis bigger and bolder, the foglights have futuristicshaping to their surrounds, side skirts give thelowered look and the dark glass sunroof adds tothe overall effect.

The rear windscreen glass is directly above theback seats and created discomfort during the dayin our home area of the Gold Coast. We stronglysuggest looking at this aspect of the car if yourplan is to regularly cart kids back there.

Prices for theVeloster SR Turbo start at$31,990, not including government or dealerdelivery charges.

Scott the new EDFL boss as Price retiresBY TEO PELLIZZERI

LONG-serving Essendon District FootballLeague chairman Ian Price has retired from hispost after 12 years in the role.

Price, 61, was asked to stay on in the role aslate as the moments before the start of last Wed-nesday’s annual general meeting but stood downafter serving on the board since 1984.

Former Oak Park player and coach Brett Scotthas stepped up from his position on the board tobecome chairman. He joined the EDFL board in2001 and has held the EDFL juniors portfolio inrecent seasons.

The league is still looking to replace its directorof umpiring, Terry Dowling, who also stooddown at the AGM.

‘‘My time has come,’’ Price said.

‘‘I’d been talking to Brett about him takingover my role for the past 4-5 years. Even as lateas (the night of the AGM) people were asking‘‘are you sure’’ but it was time to give it away.

‘‘The league’s in a great financial position, Ican always boast that the league has never hadmoney issues that have caused AFL Victoria tocome in and administer our competition.’’

Price said he was still eagerly anticipating theexpansion of the league through the north-western corridor of the city.

‘‘Three or four years ago I knew we had tolook at the growth of the league otherwise we’dbe gobbled up,’’ he said.

‘‘The best thing we’ve done is take juniors andsplit them into divisions of eight, eight and eightinstead of having two divisions.

‘‘The competition has come a long way from

when I first started. Clubs coming in like Craigie-burn, Jacana, that was my first year, then TaylorsLakes, Hillside. The league is in a great positionand who is to say that by 2015 it won’t be 10teams in each of the three divisions.

Recent high-profile incidents of violence andmisbehaviour have been some of the more tryingtimes for the league under Price’s watch.

The EDFL has received state or national atten-tion for incidents including one spectator attack-ing another with a mallet at a junior match in2009 and the melee and social media fall-outfrom the division 1 grand final between AirportWest and West Coburg this year.

‘‘The hammer thing was a disgrace but wewent through the process with the investigationand police. These things take their toll on the fullboard, and the clubs as well,’’ Price said.

‘‘One thing that worries me in the competitionis the little bit of racial (abuse) element creepingback in. Social media is very dangerous as far asfootball clubs go.

‘‘People get on there and saying what theywant. We get a lot of calls from clubs aboutbullying on Facebook and Twitter.’’

Price praised the league’s reputation as a homefor ex-AFL talent but also took time to single outthe loyal home-grown stalwarts.

‘‘People who have been around the league suchas Craig Hille from Strathmore or Ange Gentilefrom Airport West, they’ve been committed tothe EDFL and I’ve seen them from when they firststarted.’’

Price also paid tribute to his wife Christine andson Shaun who had stood by him through hisdecades of service to the league.

Clubs given chancefor a say on final fiveBY TEO PELLIZZERI

A FINAL five is back on the agendafor the Essendon District FootballLeague Premier division with clubs tobe consulted on the possibility throughthe off-season.

Clubs will be asked about thepossibility of switching from the topfour system used for the 10-team toptier of EDFL competition to a conven-tional final five.

EDFL general manager Marc Turrisaid he didn’t have a preference, but analternative fixture to accommodatethe potential extra week of Premierfinals had been drafted.

‘‘We did canvas the clubs 12 monthsago to get their views so it’s not new,’’he said.

‘‘It’s been requested that we canvasthe clubs again. I can see the positivesand negatives of both.’’

The league’s financial result was aprofit of between $69,000 and$70,000, announced at the annualmeeting last week.

Dry weather and high-drawingfinals, particularly at Windy Hill, werea factor in the profit.

‘‘We budget for a wet finals series sowe were fortunate to have a goodfinals series this year,’’ Turri said.

Ebb and flow catches league board short of experienceEDFL general manager Marc Turrisaid there was no concern about adecline in volunteer administratorsafter two vacancies remained on theboard after last week’s AGM.

A successor to outgoing umpiresadviser Terry Dowling is one keyappointment the EDFL will make

during summer as the league seeks outboard member prospects to interview.

Dowling’s 25 years of serviceincludes umpiring EDFL A andB grade grand finals and 12 years as anadministrator.

‘‘It’s a timing issue,’’ Turri said of thelack of board nominees.

‘‘Last year we had seven nomina-tions for the board, this time two. Ithink it’s just ebb and flow.’’

New chairman Brett Scott said thatwhile he wasn’t planning to serve aslong as Price in the role, he was enthu-siastic about taking on the job.

‘‘Ian and Terry have stepped down

with no new nominations and whenpeople with that level of experienceleave it’s a unique situation,’’ Scottsaid. ‘‘My main goal in the short andlong term is that we’ve got 26 viableclubs in the EDFL, that we don’t loseany, they all grow, and have strengthon and off the field.

‘‘And by that I mean they are finan-cially responsible.

‘‘I’ve played and coached in theEDFL, the Ovens and Murray Leagueand played in the VAFA. I’ve coachedjuniors and seniors in both the countryand city, so I offer a broad understand-ing of what football is all about.’’
