Valley’s in the Gangnam grooveBY EUGENE BENSON

Moonee style: Restaurant owner Hyun Moon and K-Pop star Psy at Korean eatery Tobagiafter the Future Music Festival. Above right: Psy performing at the festival, at Flemingtonracecourse. Second Picture: Mick Tsikas

‘‘We are so happy thathe had the choice ofevery place inMelbourne and he choseus . . . twice.’’

— Hyun Moon-Petrocco

FORGET Gangnam Style, whenK-POP sensation and internationalsuperstar Psy isn’t on stage he spendshis downtime rocking it ‘MooneePonds style’.

The man behind the internationalpop sensation known as GangnamStyle — a catchy Korean pop songwith accompanying dance moves —recently dined twice at a small restaur-ant, named Tobagi, in Mount Alexan-der Road.

Restaurant owner Hyun Moon-Petrocco was shocked, to say the least,when last Friday Pys’s managementcontacted the restaurant to see if thecult figure and his management teamcould dine at the traditional Koreaneatery after an underage show theyhad just performed.

Mrs Moon-Petrocco said Psyenjoyed himself, loved the food andsaid on leaving that he would be back.

‘‘We weren’t sure what to think. Hewas like Arnold Schwarzenegger;when he left he said, ‘I’ll be back.’ ’’

Then two days later one of the big-gest names in world entertainmentkept his word, calling the restaurantback on Sunday to see if he and hisentourage could dine at Tobagi afterhis performance at the Future Musicfestival.

‘‘He loves traditional Korean food— we are so happy that he had thechoice of every place in Melbourneand he chose us . . . twice,’’ MrsMoon-Petrocco said. ‘‘He likes hisfood extra, extra spicey so we madesure it was. He tried some Australiangrain-fed beef and I even got him acouple of VBs as well.

‘‘His entourage and dancers andeverything came in before him thenwhen he entered they all bowed in avery traditional and respectful way.’’

‘‘He was very busy, often on hisphone but really friendly and spokeperfect english and posed for pictures— they all had a great time and we justloved it.’’

Mrs Moon-Petrocco said she hasworked in traditional Korean restaur-ants back in Korea and then in Mel-bourne but took the plunge to open

Tobagi in Moonee Ponds eight monthsago.

‘‘It’s the biggest thing that’s happen-ed here so far but who knows, maybewe will get other stars coming herenow.’’

Although Psy, whose full name isPark Jae-sang, has recorded and pro-duced a number of albums it was

Gangnam Style, released last yearwhich shot him to international star-dom.

While the song may present as acatchy cross-over pop song, with anentertaining clip and now iconic dancemove to go with it, Gangnam Style hasalso drawn much attention for its lyr-ics and the film clip’s criticism ofKorean ruling class and elites all overthe world.

Gangnam Style became the firstYoutube video to reach 1 billion views.

High thyme forsage advice

SARAH HARRISQUE SERA

The continuing flurry of TV cooking showshas shone a light in some very darkcupboards.

Take the colleague who recently confessedto harbouring condiments that had survivedtransportation from England — making themat least 20 years old.

When I smirkingly told her they wereunlikely to become collectible she retorted:“Well, how often do you use your garammasala?”

Not enough evidently, as the evacuation ofthe entire contents of the kitchen for a recentrenovation revealed.

The garam masala had gone grey andbecome a grandparent, while we seemedinexplicably to have cornered the market onyellow and brown mustard seeds with packetafter packet, including one pre-dating themillennium.

Hands up who has had spices lurking intheir cupboard for more than three years?

OK, so dried herbs and spices don’t go “off”or become rancid, but they do lose flavour andaroma.

This is often hastened by the fact we tend tostore them in precisely the wrong places: abovethe stove, near the sink or on a window ledge,exposing them to heat and moisture.

While the cynic might suggest that puttinguse-by dates on herbs and spices is a cleverway for the companies that produce them tosell more, they do contain volatile oils thatneed to be properly stored.

Eighteenth century poet William Cowpernailed it when he said: “Variety’s the very spiceof life, that gives it all its flavour.”

But this doesn’t mean you have to go to life-changing extremes. At a pinch you can put thepep back into your pepper and a little extrazing into things with a timely visit to a goodspice merchant. — [email protected]

‘Consult us on airport rail link’BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM and HELEN GRIMAUX

A DECISION by the state government to supporta new rail link between the city and MelbourneAirport via Sunshine and has met a mixedresponse.

Sceptics say the chosen route is a re-run of adecision that should have been made 20 yearsago and cast doubts on whether there was a realcommitment to getting the rail link built.

Others embraced the announcement by PublicTransport Minister Terry Mulder, who releasedthe findings from the $6.5 million MelbourneAirport Rail Link Study last week.

The study confirmed a route known as theAlbion East route, centred around an upgradedSunshine station, after assessing 80 alternatives.

Sunshine’s Geraldine Brooks said residentswould welcome the project but called on thegovernment to provide ‘‘proper, genuine andhigh-quality community consultation andplanning’’.

‘‘Residents don’t want to see another situationwhere the community is kept in the dark duringthe planning stages — as occurred with the Deer

Park corridor of the Regional Railway Link. Wewant a transparent planning process that utilisesexisting infrastructure without disturbing thelives of residents. We want it done as a publicproject, not a private partnership behind closeddoors,’’ she said.

LeadWest business and projects managerCraig Rowley said Sunshine was only 11 minutesfrom the Melbourne CBD and ideally positionedto act as a feeder station for travellers wanting toaccess the airport from Bendigo, Ballarat andGeelong.

Mr Rowley envisaged a future rail linkbetween Melbourne and Avalon airports. He saidthe government would want to leverage on theinvestments it had already committed to inupgrading Sunshine station and building theRegional Rail Link.

Public Transport Users Association presidentTony Morton called for the government toensure the airport link was a cost-effective servicethat would stop at suburban stations on the pathto the airport, which includes Keilor East.

‘‘We don’t want to see it be a point-to-pointservice that won’t stop at train stations in the

western suburbs. We think if you are going tohave the route in the west it needs to at least stopat Sunshine station to integrate commuters fromthe west.’’

Mr Mulder said the route was an essential firststep to linking the CBD to Melbourne Airport.

‘‘The new Albion East design follows the 2001route from the airport boundary via new tracksthrough reserved land and a freight corridor. Butit will use the existing rail tracks from Sunburywithin the Sunshine corridor and connect withthe government’s planned Melbourne metro railtunnel.’’

Melbourne Airport spokesman Anna Gillettsaid the authority agreed Albion East was thebest route.

‘‘We strongly encourage Victorian and federalgovernments to commit to funding for these railprojects to support the future growth of Victor-ia’s aviation connections with the world.’’

She said the authority noted the role of theplanned Melbourne metro rail tunnel project tosupport the airport rail link. There was also aneed to ease road congestion to support theinvestment being made by the airport.

Swansong for speed queen

Black Caviar returns to Moonee Valley on Friday for the last time. Picture: Vince Caligiuri

THE Queen of Australian turf, internationalracing superstar Black Caviar will run her lastVictorian race at Moonee Valley this Fridaybefore heading to Sydney and then most likely awell deserved retirement.

‘The Black Bombshell’ will contest theGroup 1 William Reid Stakes, a 1200-metrefeature race she won in 2011.

Black Caviar will be attempting to win her24th consecutive career race.

Timed to coincide with half-time of Fridaynight football, the race will be run at 9.55pm asthe eighth and last race of the night, which is alsothe season finale of the Moonee Valley nightracing season and the finale to the MelbourneFestival of Racing.

Channel 7 will be covering the race live at half-time of their opening AFL game between Essen-don and Adelaide. The course fence-line is

already covered in Black Caviar colours andimages of the champion mare.

Moonee Valley chief executive MichaelBrowell said it was an honour to have BlackCaviar run her last race at the Valley where someof her famous victories have been won.

‘‘Enormous effort is being made to ensure thenight is befitting of the special occasion. We areexpecting a crowd of 25,000 for what will be oneof the biggest nights.

‘‘Her win in the William Reid here in 2011 wasone of her best; it was before she went off toprobably her best win, against Haylist in the TJ[TJ Smith Stakes] in Sydney. For half a second inthat race, for two strides people thought shemight be in trouble then she just went woosh andgot up.’’

Tickets for the night need to be pre-purchasedvia Ticketmaster.

Council, spend a pennyBY EUGENE BENSON

Filthy: Jan Eugene and JohnPallisco with Ben Carroll (centre)outside the run-down public toiletson Keilor Road. Picture: Michael Copp

KEILOR Road traders are frustratedwith the state of the public toilets ontheir shopping strip and are demandingMoonee Valley Council take urgentaction to address the problem.

The state of the toilets dominated arecent Niddrie Traders Associationmeeting and has led to Niddrie MP BenCarroll supporting the traders bylodging an official budget submissionwith the council.

The baby change rooms in the toiletblock are padlocked shut, the women’scubicles have no locks and the roof isfalling down, while the men’s sectionhas a broken sink and is being used asmore of a storage place for empty beercans.

Mr Carroll and traders have askedthe council to set aside funding in the2013-14 budget for its upgrade.

Niddrie Traders Association commit-

tee member Tess Shepherd said therewere 165 shops on Keilor Road thatdeserved better.

‘‘They [council] did it for MooneePonds, putting those nice toilets onPuckle Street, but here they don’t spenda penny. We’ve complained and com-plained and no one does anythingabout it.’’

He said he couldn’t understand whyit had been neglected.

“The toilet block at the corner ofKeilor Road and Matthews Avenue is atthe gateway to Keilor Road alongside amajor tram stop and the only public toi-lets for this shopping centre.

‘‘I’ve received constant complaintsabout its disrepair — it’s vital for every-one, from shoppers to traders to stu-dents, that this toilet block be replacedwith new facilities.’’ Fellow trader JanEugene said she often had customersask to use her bathroom as they hatedthe thought of using the public toilets.

Council chief executive Neville Smithsaid it had not received any formalcomplaints about the toilet block, butconfirmed a submission had beenreceived from Mr Carroll.

‘‘We are happy to consider Mr Car-roll’s proposal in developing our draftbudget, which we are in the process ofputting together.’’

Mr Smith said the toilets were inspec-ted on March 14 by a council officer,who reported three missing toilet seatsand some graffiti.

‘‘Unfortunately, these toilets are sub-ject to occasional vandalism, and weencourage the community to report anydamage to the council so we can attendto problems as soon as possible.

‘‘The toilet seats will be replaced andthe graffiti will be removed.’’

He said the council had more than 20public toilets across the municipality,with a works program in place toensure they were maintained.

Re: ‘Passersby ignore calls for help’(Moonee Valley Weekly, March 5)As Jeffrey’s sister, with my own medicalproblems, I cannot thank this beautifulwoman (Pia La Torre) enough.

Not only did she take the time to stop for mydistraught brother in the pouring rain, but shehad her own child to look after. Jeff is a veryemotional person at the best of times. As mybrother Robbie reiterated, time is of theessence for most of our society and there arenot many people out there who will go out oftheir way to comfort and ensure the safety of aperson with a disability. Pia returns some faithwithin our amazingly selfish society. I don’tknow what to say to you, Pia, except that yourkindness and generosity are overwhelming.

Thanks to you, my brother got home safely,for which our whole family is utterly grateful.

Re: ‘Extend tram routes, users urge’(Weekly, March 12)Yes, this is a great idea — capital BUT! Engin-eers tell me that the bridge could never take atram. Then there is the width of Milleara and

Military roads. Even a single tram would addto the vehicular chaos already there, and if youhad tram lines going in both directions itwould be hell.

Maddy (via web)

This is a really worthwhile project. Smallextensions to the tram network around Mel-bourne would greatly improve connectivityand access for people and be relatively inex-pensive, compared to, say, train extensions.

Re: ‘Boycott call over MooneePonds eyesore’ (Murphy’s Lore,March 5)Don’t blame Readings. Blame residents andCouncil. Readings was stopped from develop-ing the site by court action taken by one of theresidents.

Building 12 cinemas and a restaurant wouldbe hard to justify in the current economicclimate, so we are left with an eyesore.

When we oppose a development in ourneighbourhood, we have to think what theconsequences will be. Do we prefer an eyesore

or development? As we are getting older wewant less traffic and a peaceful neighbour-hood, but we would like to have shops and adoctor next door. It’s always a trade-off, acompromise. The world needs to progress.Someone has to pay taxes for your comfort-able retirement lifestyle.

Re: For Moonee Valley traders, thestate of the economy’s a mixed bag(Weekly, March 12)During my brief tenure on council I workedhard to support every shopping area withinMoonee Valley. I even seconded a motion torequire council to do business locally beforegoing elsewhere. And that is critical. I recallorganising a new oven and hot plate for asports club, and staff wanted to buy it some-where else. But I found the same model, andcheaper, at a local supplier. We must continueto support local shopping, local business, localemployment. I am in our local shopping areasregularly, as we all should be. But then I’mbiased; I grew up in local businesses.

music festivals.Windows shook as far north as East Keilor and

noise levels were well above EPA standards. Thebands yelled and screamed obscenities clearlyaudible to Ascot Vale and Flemington residents.Traffic was chaotic, streets were left filthy; andMoonee Valley picks up the tab.

For the past decade, our council has unsuccess-fully tried to get the stakeholders together toestablish guidelines. But if any were in place lastweek, they were seemingly ignored by the VRCand the promoters. At least the Showgroundsmanagement has listened more recently to the

community’s concerns. The VRC has a lot toanswer for, but all its spokesman can say is thatthe club is prepared to work closely withresidents. Find another home for the concerts.After all, the residents threw them out of PrincesPark and Docklands.

Our magnificent LionsEssendon Lions are about to celebrate 60 years ofservice for which our community is truly grateful.

The Lions have made the district a better place inwhich to live, work and grow since their formationin 1953, providing financial support for hundredsof local groups and individuals.

It might be paying for a vegetable garden at StBrendan’s, Ascot Vale, or giving a powered wheel-chair to a resident or joining Lions from other clubsat the coalface of bushfire and flood emergencies.

Their support in the development of the bionicear and a cervical cancer vaccine has benefitedthousands. Locally, Lions have successfullydeveloped Lionsville retirement complex andanother, the Essendon Terrace, is nearingcompletion.

The website shows 32 organisations that theyhave supported so generously in more recent years.The Lions will celebrate their anniversary at a

dinner at Melrose on April 19, with all pastmembers and their families welcome.

Wedded to St Bernard’sSt Bernard’s College staff will next year welcome afourth generation local family, believed to be acollege first. The Livingstone family’s link beganwhen great-grandfather Hugh, now 80, travelledto school from Brunswick. Son Terry, now a car

part importer, graduated in 1971. His son Andrew,now a business manager, was a 1993 graduate.Now it’s 10-year-old Riley’s opportunity to main-tain the tradition. He finishes his primary schoolingthis year at St Christopher’s in Airport West.

The final word. . .Borrow money from pessimists, they don’t expectit back.

Why we sweated, and sufferedBY EUGENE BENSON

SUMMER rainfall figures from across the westernsuburbs have confirmed what most suspected: it’sbeen a long, dry, scorching hot summer.

Data from Melbourne Water’s network of raingauges across Melbourne’s west shows it was a drierthan average summer at all suburban locations.

But for storms in the last four days of summer, therainfall totals would have been far lower — with theFebruary downpours accounting for a third of thetotal summer rain in most suburbs.

Altona was the wettest place in the west with 93millimetres, still well below its long-term average of136 millimetres. Flemington got only 70 millimetrescompared to its long-term average of 128mm.

Melbourne Water spokesman Nic McGay said thesummer marked a return to more traditional hot anddry conditions, following exceptionally wetsummers in 2010-11 and 2011-12.

‘‘It was a similar story in the four major catch-ments (Maroondah, O’Shannassy, Upper Yarra andThomson) that harvest most of Melbourne’s water.

‘‘Water storages started summer at 81.2 per centand ended the season at 75.8 per cent full — adecrease of almost 100 billion litres.’’ Despite thedecline, Melbourne’s storages finished the season attheir highest end-of-summer level since 1997.

Shorten puts in longer strides for kidsBY EUGENE BENSON

In the running: Bill Shorten with his office staff and team members after a training run along theMaribyrnong River last week.

MORE known for running internal work-ings of the federal Labor Party than runningraces — Maribyrnong MP Bill Shorten isgearing up to take part in this year’s Run forthe Kids charity fun run, and is dragging hisoffice staff along the 15-kilometre coursewith him.

The annual fundraiser for the Royal Chil-dren’s Hospital has been a tradition for MrShorten since before he was elected to Parlia-ment.

‘‘I’m just another bloke bouncing along ina sea of enthusiastic participants who like torun but clearly love the cause,’’ he said.

‘‘For a while now I’ve been wanting to domore, so this year I organised a proper team,with workmates, friends and supporters —I’ve also put the hard word on some otherMPs up in Canberra to donate to the causeand I’m pleased to say they’ve chipped in.’’

Mr Shorten said raising money for theRoyal Children’s and bit of inter-office com-petition were great motivation.

‘‘I’ve been training pretty hard this year,mainly running along the MaribyrnongRiver or around Lake Burley Griffin whenI’m in Canberra. I try to schedule a run every

day, especially when Parliament is sitting.‘‘I find that running is a great way to

relieve stress and get a bit of perspective.

‘‘It’s my thinking time.’’ To sponsor MrShorten’s team, visit everydayhero.com.au/team_shorten.

Residents have sayin booze policyMOONEE Valley Councilwill this month start con-sultation on an amendmentwhich looks to implement alicensed premises policy intoits planning scheme.

Moonee Valley mayorNarelle Sharpe said the poli-cy aimed to minimise the neg-ative impacts associated withnew, late-night licensed pre-mises and the expansion ofexisting premises.

“The policy, which wasendorsed by the council inlate 2012, was developedwith input from the localcommunity,” she said.

“The policy provides clearguidance for planners whenthey consider applicationsfor a new licensed venue orthe expansion of an existingvenue.’’

The policy addresses issuessuch as noise and amenityimpacts, operating hours,

safe venue design, patronnumbers and transport avail-ability.

To ensure the policy carriesweight with the state govern-ment, it needs to be includedin the Moonee Valley Plan-ning Scheme, and to do thisthe council needs to under-take a process called a Plan-ning Scheme Amendment.

“I encourage those whoown a licensed venue to havea look at the document andprovide feedback to thecouncil,’’ Cr Sharpe said.‘‘The next step is implement-ation into the planningscheme, so this is residents’last opportunity to provideinput.’’

Amendment C131 is up forconsultation until April 26.More information is avail-able at mvcc.vic.gov.au/licensedpolicy

On shaky electoral ground

Vulnerable?Andrew Elsburyaddressing ahostile crowd inWilliamstown inDecember.Picture: Michael Copp

BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK

ONE of the west’s two Liberal upper house MPsshould be feeling ‘‘extremely vulnerable’’ as aresult of Geoff Shaw’s resignation from the party,says the state member for Williamstown.

Hours after the Frankston MP resigned fromthe Liberal Party, then-premier Ted Baillieuannounced his resignation.

Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said AndrewElsbury, who was No.2 on the Liberal ticket atthe last state election, should be feeling insecure.

‘‘It’s worth noting that the Liberal NationalCoalition holds the upper house of Parliamentwith essentially a one-seat majority; 21 out of 40seats are held by Liberal and Nationals.

‘‘So that second upper house seat that’s held inthe western region of Melbourne, which theywon at the last election in 2010, is quite criticalfor them to hold if they want to be re-elected in2014 and hold any sort of power in the upperhouse.

‘‘Andrew Elsbury’s seat has now becomeextremely vulnerable . . . he came in in 2010 andwill rely on the Liberal Party vote holding up inthe western region of Melbourne.

‘‘Because they won that upper seat and a fewothers off Labor in 2010 they now control the

upper and lower houses of the Victorian Parlia-ment and, therefore, any legislation they intro-duce can be passed on every single occasionwithout amendment.’’

Mr Elsbury acknowledged the dynamics hadchanged.

‘‘It’s 21 to 19, so all it takes is one person to goover the side and you have a dead heat.

‘‘One person not turning up: not a big deal butstill not happy.

‘‘It’s created a new dynamic for legislation

going through the lower house.‘‘Having an independent [Mr Shaw] means

there is another person in the Parliament whoneeds to be worked with to get legislationthrough.

‘‘If you look at the majority of legislation it getsthrough without any problems.’’

Mr Elsbury laughed off suggestions that heshould be feeling worried.

‘‘A man who lost 13 per cent at the lastelection saying I’m vulnerable? OK.’’

INBRIEF

Essendon gets PSOsProtective services officers were last week

deployed to three more Melbourne railway

stations, including Essendon. There are now 294

PSOs patrolling 38 stations across the network

from 6pm until after the last train. The member for

the Western Metropolitan Region, Andrew

Elsbury, said local commuters and small

businesses had made it very clear that there had

been a change in community perceptions of

safety at railway stations since the PSOs were

deployed.

The Western English Language School is providing the tools for young migrants to make the most of their new lives, writes Robert Fedele

Western English Language School pupils Biak, 10, and Lal, 11 .

Breaking barrier

language the


which can be a little frustrating for the teachers and the students sometimes, because you know the kids are capable of bigger ideas.’’

Today Guttman is teaching maths to a group of half a dozen students aged 13-17, predominantly of Vietnamese background, which presents another challenge.

‘‘What is diffi cult in this class, for example, is that 10 students all speak the same language, which isn’t ideal, because it’s obviously very tempting for them to speak their own language. I like to have more of a spread.’’

Guttman seems genuinely fond of his work but concedes he can take the kids only so far.

‘‘They’re all quite good at maths already, but their biggest challenge when they go to a mainstream school will be understanding both what a teacher says and written problems. It’s a little frustrating.

‘‘In South Australia, for instance, the kids get two years [at a language school], which makes much more sense. It’s just not enough time here to get to know them. They progress obviously, but if you teach a kid for a year you see a lot more development. That’s one of the more frustrating parts of the job. They’re constantly rotating the door with new kids coming in every term.’’

De Zilwa is well aware of the problem.‘‘We’ve had quite a few success stories. And

a few very distressing stories. The distressing stories are around whether we have been able to enrol them for long enough and they

probably could have done with two years.‘‘The older ones that have had interrupted

schooling present the greatest challenge for mainstream schools because you might get them in 12 months from no literacy to grade 2 literacy and then they’ll go to year 9.

‘‘They’ll go into an age-equivalent class and they simply don’t have the skills to be able to deal with year 9 subjects. And it’s not their fault, but they take it personally. They quite often drop out of school.’’

Still, De Zilwa believes there is much hope for the future and the positives far outweigh the negatives. Asked if she feels she has achieved the vision set out for the school more than a decade ago, she replies; ‘‘I like to think so.’’

She points to a new assessment tool that gauges a child’s starting point and pinpoints their progress each term as one of the better results.

‘‘We were never able to do that. We relied a whole lot more on anecdotal data,’’ she says proudly. ‘‘For the fi rst time we are actually able to confi dently say what a difference our program makes to student learning.’’

Even so, De Zilwa is under no illusions. Some students will make it. Some won’t. It’s the real world out there.

‘‘There’s lots of schools in this area that have very strong ESL programs. It’s a matter of them landing in one of those schools. I don’t care how interrupted your schooling is. If you really work hard at it you can get there.’’ �

Hanibal Solomon arrived in Australia eight months ago as a refugee from Ethiopia in search of a better life. His father had been living here for six years so Hanibal left his homeland,

and his mother, for a fresh start soon after becoming a teenager.

‘‘I came here to live. There are so many opportunities here,’’ he says with wide-eyed optimism.

Confi dent and bright, Hanibal had learned snippets of English at school back home and speaks the language freely. ‘‘That’s why I’m a little bit good at it,’’ he smiles, almost apologetically.

Like many newly arrived youngsters, the introduction to his education in Australia begins at the Western English Language School, a multicampus government school offering English as a Second Language (ESL) programs for primary and secondary students across the west.

Students stay from six months to a year, depending on their level of education. Hanibal is progressing well and will most likely be at the school for one more term before enrolling at a mainstream high school.

Alongside Hanibal is Tony, a 17-year-old from Indonesia who tells a similar story of moving to Australia to be with his mother and stepfather.

‘‘The fi rst time I come here I was very happy,’’ Tony says describing his fi rst impressions of his new home. ‘‘But after one week I was very sad because I lost my old friends. I miss them.’’

Tony wants to be successful in his education but is adamant he will return home to work and be closer to his friends, father, and grandmother.

Looking back, the Western English Language School, like the cultural mix of faces that fl eetingly pass through its doors, has been resilient since day one. In the late ’90s its predecessor, the Tottenham English Language Centre, had been attached to Tottenham Community Secondary College.

The college was involved in a merger and closed, leaving the language centre on its own with just fi ve classes. Principal Yolette De Zilwa, a cheerful and kind-natured woman whom students greet warmly as they pass her in the corridors, led the charge to become a fully fl edged school.

She had previously taught at mainstream schools but chose to gain ESL qualifi cations, realising many children from foreign backgrounds were being thrown in the deep end at mainstream schools without ever having being taught how the English language works. A successful 18 month-long campaign resulted in the Western English Language School being opened in 2000.

‘‘The western region’s got the second highest number of newly arrived migrants in Melbourne and there wasn’t a school here,’’ De Zilwa says. ‘‘It was wonderful for the parents and the communities who supported the whole

push for an English language school. And it just made sense.’’

Today the school operates across fi ve sites – Kensington, Footscray, Werribee, St Albans and Point Cook – and has about 500 students.

The world’s trouble spots are often refl ected in the enrolment demographic.

‘‘If they have intact schooling, so they haven’t been in a refugee camp and they haven’t been in a war zone where their schooling has been affected for up to two years, they stay for six months,’’ De Zilwa says. ‘‘If they are a refugee and have had interrupted schooling, then they are entitled to stay for a year.’’

The school mirrors a mainstream school but with a focus on the English language. Students take part in English classes, history, geography, social studies, maths, science and physical education.

‘‘By mirroring what a mainstream school does they get the idea of what it’s like to be in an Australian classroom ... the context, the culture, and the sorts of expectations that teachers have. A lot of emphasis is on what they bring with them, rather than they’re empty vessels and they have to learn all these things. They come from very rich cultures themselves and basically, that Australia is better for having them.’’

The school has 60 staff across its campuses, including 14 multicultural aids of various languages. De Zilwa says the school often encourages mainstream teachers to visit and see what it’s like for a child in their fi rst phase of being in an Australian classroom.

‘‘An ESL teacher can actually see the mark of progress much more clearly than a mainstream teacher that is not clued in. You’ll see things like a child going through a silent period and not be worried about it. A mainstream teacher might say, ‘Ohhhh, that child isn’t talking’. It’s perfectly normal for a child from another language not to talk for a while and to be quiet in the classroom and to actually be absorbing a lot of what they hear and see. Then a few months later they start producing.’’

De Zilwa describes her staff as passionate in wanting to give newly arrived children the best start possible.

‘‘It’s more than a teaching job. I think it’s a calling. Because our numbers over the past seven to 10 years have been refugees, they have been very switched-on to the particular troubles that refugees bring with them and the challenges they have entering a new country.

‘‘It’s a huge thing. Somebody once said that there are three major things that can happen in your life: the birth of a child, the death of a member of the immediate family; or leaving a country. And for a refugee family they would have had all three.’’

Laurence Guttman has been teaching at the school for fi ve years and still relishes the challenge.‘‘We get kids who are complete beginners and kids who speak [English] quite well, so the challenges are different. With complete beginners you have to do basic stuff,

Fauna in our midst shouldn’t be fair gameFrom kangaroos in Keilor East to possums in Moonee Ponds, you maybe surprised where the wild things are, as SARAH HARRIS reports.

Fighting chance: This orphaned baby possum is beingraised at Jirrelinga wildlife shelter near Geelong.

Picture: Mark Smith

In the year to the end of last month, WildlifeVictoria received more than 3500 calls to helpinjured native birds, mammals and reptiles

from across Melbourne’s west and north-westsuburbs.

Creatures great and small had been variouslyhit by vehicles, attacked by dogs or cats, becomeentangled in fences, trapped in buildings,displaced and, in some instances, the victims ofdeliberate human cruelty.

“It is happening more and more,” WildlifeVictoria relationship manager Amy Amato saysof the grim toll. “We think it has to do with thedevelopment going on around the fringe and thelack of planning. The habitat is just gettingdecimated.

“The developers have no plans for wildlifecorridors for these animals to be able to movethrough into areas where they are safer, so theyget pushed out onto roads and then they get getdisoriented and move closer and closer intotown.”

Just how much wildlife exists in long-established inner urban areas is underscored byWildlife Victoria statistics which show morerescues in Moonee Valley than in rapidlygrowing Melton and Moorabool combined.

Moonee Valley Council is among the mostproactive environmentally with more than 30hectares of new conservation area created duringthe past four years.

It is home to more than 100 fauna species and170 native flora species. The fauna range fromthe nationally significant powerful owl and thegrey-headed flying fox to the iconic platypus inthe Maribyrnong and swamp wallabies on theriver flats as close to the city as Essendon.

Within the next month, the council is due toturn the first sod on a $460,000 project to restorethe natural stormwater course — sent under-ground in the concrete craze of the ’60s —through the river red gums in Napier Park.

One of only two stands of river red gumssurviving in Melbourne, the Napier Park trees

and the associated grassy woodlands foster anentire ecosystem, from the microbats, possums,cockatoos and lorikeets to the lizards and insectsliving in the leaf litter.

“It has been very interesting how you managea natural environment in a non-natural situationand that is the essence of urban ecology, I guess,”council environment co-ordinator SheridanBlunt says.

With scarcely 20 per cent of the mammals thatexisted at the time of European settlement surviv-ing in the inner suburbs, it is interesting to seebiodiversity now slowly increasing as environ-mental awareness grows.

To report sick, injured or orphaned wildlife,phone 1300 094 535. Wildlife Victoria islooking for volunteers. For more informa-tion, go to wildlifevictoria.org.au

Love and persistence beat ‘the system’

Family ties: Robyn Oyeniyi fought hard to keep her family together. Picture: Michael Copp

BY ROBERT FEDELE

STRATHMORE resident Robyn Oyeniyi isgetting back to ‘‘typical family life’’ after anordeal battling Australia’s immigration

system.In her book Love Versus Goliath, Robyn has

written about her fight to have her husband Johnreturned to Australia after he was removed fromthe country. Her story begins when her husband,originally from Nigeria, came to Australia as anasylum seeker in 2008. He had fled his homelandafter being beaten almost to death during aperiod of political turmoil.

Robyn and John met and fell in love while hewas living in mandatory community detention.His protection visa was later denied and he wasremoved in April, 2010. A month later Robynflew to Nigeria where the pair were married.

For safety reasons, John later moved to Qatar.He was unable to take his four children, andbecause the government wouldn’t grant themvisas to come to Australia and live with Robyn,they were forced to live in Nigeria with friends.

Robyn was soon home, and alone. She putevery ounce of effort towards getting John and

her newfound family home. She describes beinghorrified by the government’s lack ofcompassion. She finally won her appeal in early2011 and came to the wonderful realisation thatshe would soon have her family back. ‘‘It wastough because I felt as if the government washanging me out to dry,’’ she says.

Robyn says the successful appeal took time tosink in. ‘‘I still didn’t know. Waking up everymorning thinking, do I still have a husband? Do Istill have stepchildren? It really wasn’t until theygot off the plane [that it felt real].’’

Robyn says she chose to tell her story so otherscould use it as an example. ‘‘We need to be verycareful as a people to ensure our rights aren’ttrampled on. I feel it was a lot of struggle that weneedn’t have gone through.’’

Robyn says it was difficult adjusting back tofamily life, which for her husband and herselfincluded getting to know the children all overagain. But the wait was worth it.

LicensedHILARY McNEVINEATING OUT

Mt Alexander Road offers a feastof restaurants and cafes —Greek, Japanese and Mexican

cuisines are on offer, as are numerouswine bars. But what’s a food stripwithout a good Italian restaurant?

At No.528 on the busy road, Italy 528easily carries the flag for great Italianfood.

The open room, with a huge mural toone side, white walls and dark woodfurniture, is stylish and welcoming.

The restaurant, open now for twoyears, was previously a motorcycle shopthat was gutted and renovated,incorporating a wood-fired oven for chefand co-owner Antonio Caruso to weave

his pizza magic. Called variously apizzeria and cucina (kitchen), its pizzasare a menu highlight, but there are sometempting starters including a simplebruschetta of tomatoes, basil and extravirgin olive oil ($9.50).

Equally delicious, we discovered, wasa plate of buffalo mozzarella and SanDaniele prosciutto ($22) — the lusciouscheese and fine slices of prosciuttocomplementing each other with subtleflavours.

The pizza list takes up much of themenu with a varied selection toppedwith good, fresh produce, and combina-tions using only a handful of ingredientsso that the quality of each is highlighted.

Apart from the Margherita (small $8/large $15), all the pizzas come in justone generous size.

A sturdy, slightly seasoned base istopped with sweet tomato, cow’s milkmozzarella and the odd basil leaf. It’squite simply delicious.

Other pizzas include a Capricciosa

($20), topped with ham, olives,artichokes and mushrooms. Ours wassweet, salty and savoury; a delicious, clas-sic pizza.

When I asked for a Broccolotta ($20)topped with fontina and burata cheeses,broccoli and lemon, I was told therewas no broccoli available but theyhappily served it to me with zucchiniinstead.

It was a thoughtful gesture and provedto be a great pizza with saltiness from thefontina and creaminess from the buratacut through with the addition of lemonand a bite from the zucchini.

If you want good Italian onMt Alexander Road, or the west ingeneral, Italy 528 is certainly worth a try.

Clinic fills the dental gap with flair

Laugh with confidence: John Heron, Neill Park andSteve Fraser help patients feel comfortable with thelatest denture technology.

THE confidence to eat, speak and laughcomfortably while wearing dentures isexactly what the dental prosthetists at

Keilor Road Denture Clinic in Niddrie aim togive their patients.

The team includes Steven Fraser, John Heronand recently returned Neill Park, each having 20to 30 years-plus experience in the industry.

They are up to date with the latest denturetechnology, including mini-implants.

“Full lower dentures are the most difficult forpatients to wear, but mini-implants are a cost-effective and high-quality way of stabilisingclients’ lower dentures, thus ensuring self-confidence,” says owner Steven Fraser.

“Mini-implants can be placed quickly andeasily by an experienced dentist. We can thenmodify clients’ dentures with components to‘snap it in’ or provide them with a new single orset of dentures.

“And as humans we are living longer. Ourdigestive system starts with our teeth, so mini-implants will place people in good stead for therest of their lives,” Mr Fraser says.

Other denture services and products availableare full upper and lower dentures, partial

dentures, implant retained over dentures, softliners, relines, repairs and mouth guards.

“We provide a prompt and professional ser-vice,” Mr Fraser says. ‘‘Our collaborativeapproach to treatment, combined with a greatrelationship with many local dentists, allows usto provide the ultimate in denture care.”

Mr Fraser says a person’s dentures should sup-port their lips and ensure their face and smileretain a natural look. The Dental ProsthetistAssociation recommends replacing denturesevery seven to eight years.

Established for seven years, the Niddrie clinicsupports Veterans Affairs and the VictorianDenture Scheme voucher. No referral is required.

Good parenting, by mouse click

Online security: BigPond has features to keep kids cyber safe.

BY CAROLE LEVY

In a world where 22 per cent of parents inAustralia admit they have no control overtheir young children’s and teens’ online activit-

ies, the issue of protection from cyber bullying isof major concern.

This is especially alarming as 78 per cent ofparents claim to control their children’scomputer use, yet just one in three has internetfiltering in place.

Craig Kennedy, owner of Point Cook andMoonee Ponds Telstra stores, believes BigPondSecurity can help monitor children’s onlinebehaviour.

‘‘Cyber bullying is a scary prospect for bothchildren and parents,’’ he says. ‘‘According to2008 Microsoft/Galaxy research, 31 per cent of14 to 17 year olds have experienced cyber bully-ing — that’s a daunting statistic.

‘‘So what can parents do to ensure their child’sonline safety? Firstly, they need to communicatewith their kids and get involved and familiar withtechnology.’’

Telstra Safe Social is a BigPond Securityfeature that alerts parents when:■ The conversation on a child’s account ‘turnsnasty’, which can indicate cyber bullying■ Words being used in their child’s feed indicatesomething of concern might happen■ The photos or videos they are watching mightbe unsuitable■ They add new friends, especially those ‘out oftheir network’ or potentially age-inappropriate

Parental Control, Mr Kennedy says, is anotherBigPond Security feature that can give parentsfurther peace of mind.

‘‘There are easy-to-understand protectionpolicies tailored to ensure young kids and teensare accessing websites suitable for their age. Itallows them to connect only when parents thinkit’s suitable.’’

Parents are encouraged to report cyber bully-ing to their child’s school and to their internetservice provider.

Anti-phishing is another BigPond Securityfeature that parents may find helpful.

‘‘Children can unknowingly place themselvesin risky situations by posting personal informa-tion online. Once it’s done, it can be very difficultto remove. This can include their name oraddress, photos, a mobile phone number, school

name and details of friends and family.’’Parents are welcome to call into either store to

discuss their cyber needs and concerns.Well-trained staff can offer advice about

products and explain their applications andassociated costs.

Visit the new government website cybersmar-

t.gov.au for excellent information on keepingchildren safe online.

Mini sets cracking paceEwan Kennedy reviews the seventh edition

Unique: Looks like nothing else on the road, andthat’s the way the Mini Paceman is meant to be.

Welcome to Mini edition seven.No one else on this planet can stretchone basic shape into so many differ-

ent designs. When the Mini was revived in2001 as a follow-up to the highly successfulMini first introduced in 1959, it came in asingle body style. Amazingly, the companyhas just introduced the seventh iteration.

Mini Paceman is its name, and style is itsgame. Basically, Paceman is a Mini Country-man with only two doors and a differentback end. It’s a sort of a cross between anSUV and a coupe.

Paceman is sold as a four-seater, but thosein the rear had better be of modest dimen-sions unless the front seat occupants arewilling to sacrifice legroom. Surprisingly,headroom isn’t a major problem because theroof line is sculpted to make room for youruppermost region. Boot space isn’t too bad at330 litres.

We loved the feel and look of the Pace-man’s interior during our drive from centralBrisbane up into the soggy hinterlands.

Drizzle puts Mores in box seatBY TEO PELLIZZERI

STRATHMORE’S final-round win againstTullamarine may prove priceless as rain threaten-ed to make an anti-climax of the Victorian TurfCricket Association season at the weekend.

Persistent players still managed to eke out 42overs in the North Division grand final as Strath-more reached 3-77 when stumps were called.

The minor premier edged out Tullamarinefor top spot earlier this month with a victorythat gave Strathmore a rain-out advantage of7.44 points.

But in addition to Sunday, played after TheWeekly went to print, there are two more daysavailable should they be needed this weekend.

Strathmore won the toss and batted at DonaldMcLean Reserve in Spotswood, losing openers

Matt Reynolds (5) and Christian Hewitt (8) to be2-24. But Scott Sanders steadied the innings with40.

In Senior Division, Greenvale elected to batbut the decision backfired as the Old Mentoniansskittled the minor premier for just 71 on theopening day at Crofts Reserve.

Jon Kent (23) was last man out and savedGreenvale from the embarrassment of a sub-50score after the team slumped to 8-39.

Kent and Luke Rosbrook (nine) shared the big-gest partnership of the innings, just 22 runs.

Old Mentonians’ John Seeary had a day outwith 6-24.

Day two continued after The Weekly went toprint.

In North A1, the coin toss proved all import-ant at Walter Street Reserve as West Coburg sent

PEGS in and took four wickets in the 23 overs ofplay completed on day one. PEGS were reeling at4-26 when play was abandoned for the day.

In North B1, Craigieburn was sent in by HaigFawkner and overcame a 2-19 start to reach 3-79in the 28 overs of play.

In West B1, St Andrews endured a nightmare22.4 overs on day one as it slumped to 7-31 afterwinning the toss and batting against WerribeeCentrals.

In North C1, Strathmore attacked on its homedeck Syd McGain Oval and got the rewards as itplastered 1-126 off just 22.5 overs againstAberfeldie.

Matt McConville’s 88no bucked the trend ofbowler-friendly conditions.

EMP was a back-to-back champion chasing athree-peat but will not contest the grand final inVictorian Women’s Cricket Association’s topdivision after the three-wicket defeat.

Dandenong won with four balls to spare atAberfeldie Park, chasing down a revised total of99 off 20 overs after EMP had been bowled out

for 134 off 49.5 overs. The Bombers lost the tossand were sent in, starting poorly in a 5-20 slump.

Cassie Brock (41) and Kristen Beams (35) wentabout rebuilding the innings with a 76-run standfor the sixth wicket, ending for both batters onthe same score.

Emma Kearney (21no) and Lou Caluzzi (12)pushed the score past 100.

Australian international Julie Hunter provednear impossible to score off, sending down sevenmaidens in 10 overs for Dandenong, finishingwith figures of 4-6.

Emma Kearney (2-12) captured two early

wickets for EMP but Erica Kershaw (27) andKelly Applebee (38) steadied Dandenong, withJulie Hunter’s 19 pushing the score to 3-92.

EMP hit back with just a handful of runs left todefend. Molly Strano (1-19), Emily McIntyre(2-25) and two run-outs in a collapse of 4-2 leftDandenong 7-94, still five runs from victory.

But Alana King (four not-out) and EmmaGallagher (four not-out) held their nerve in thefinal over to seal victory with four balls to spare.
