Sorry, no port in adiplomatic storm

SARAH HARRISQUE SERA

What’s in a name? Determined to find out,I asked Bett — one of my mother’s nurs-ing home neighbours — who enjoys a

small glass of sherry with her evening meal.Fancy another apera, Bett? “Eh?” she queried.

We are not allowed to call it sherry any morebecause the European Union says so.

“What on earth is she talking about?” sheasked her daughter, Anne.

“Ma, sherry’s no more!”But this is no trifle.Port has also gone overboard — one of the

latest names to disappear from local labels underan agreement struck between the EuropeanUnion and Australia.

The agreement that prevents Australian wine-makers using the names of European towns orregions has already seen champagne, burgundy,white burgundy, chablis, hermitage and mosellerenamed.

The fortified wines are the latest to fall underthe EU’s protected geographical status laws.

More than 1000 agricultural products andfoodstuffs have been given protected geograph-ical indications status over the past 40 years.

These include some of the world’s best-knownand tastiest products like Kalamata olives,Parma ham and Parmigiano Reggiano. The ideais to protect the quality, reputation andeconomic value of trademark origins.

Bett, however, is unimpressed by the sugges-tion she rename her evening tipple. At 92 she hasvery clear opinions and doesn’t miss a trick.

“What about Brussels sprouts?” she demands,stabbing a wee brassica as if it were a Europeanbureaucrat. What about Yorkshire pud, BlackForest cake, Frankfurters, Singapore noodles,Peking duck and Chelsea buns?

Or, for that matter, tonight’s dinner . . . thechicken formerly known as Kiev.

You’re right, Bett. It’s a load of Bologna.

him in ‘Walk in the Park’ at Federation Square on

Sunday, August 26. Mr Van Ross wants 100

people to take part in the walk and help raise

awareness and funds for Parkinson’s Victoria. The

Grand plans at full gallopBY EUGENE BENSON

THE Victoria Racing Club has announced boldplans to spend more than $100 million on itsFlemington headquarters and has flagged anintention to seek state government funding tohelp its cause.

The work means the probable demolition ofthe historic Members’ Old Grandstand, built in1923.

VRC chief executive Dale Monteith said theclub had three independent engineers access theold grandstand with each concluding it wouldneed rebuilding by the end of 2015.

‘‘We are expecting after 2015 it would bepulled down; that’s the plan, ’’ Mr Monteithsaid.

‘‘We will need to work with the relevantauthorities. It has heritage involvement so wewill be talking to Heritage Victoria and the plan-ning minister about what has to be done.

‘‘With what replaces it we will obviously work

to capture the essence of what the old standrepresented.’’ Mr Monteith said the VRC hadnever been granted government funding for itsprojects at Flemington, despite the MelbourneSpring Racing Carnival being a massive driver ofthe state’s economy.

‘‘We would hope to be taking that up with thegovernment. Every development at Flemingtonhas always been fully funded by the club. Forwhatever reason, racing clubs don’t seem toenjoy the same funding as football clubs do.

‘‘It’s fair to say we are working on a proposalto go to the government with.

‘‘We are not waiting for government funding,however, so the planning stage will go ahead withour own resources.’’

Within the next year, the club will beginupgrading its technology infrastructure, includ-ing introducing high-density Wi-Fi and a newelectronic payment system for punters.

Mr Monteith said this would hopefully put anend to phone and network freezes on busy racedays, with every patron having access to freeWi-Fi.

By replacing the Members’ Old Grandstandand finishing refurbishment of the Hill StandVRC membership is expected to increase by upto 10,000, to a total of 40,000 members.

Energised for coming of green age

Carbon tax avoidance: Ann Stevens has added anumber of features including solar panels to make herAvondale Heights home more energy efficient.

Picture: Scott McNaughton

DESIGN changes that make houses more envir-onmentally friendly and cost efficient will becentral to discussion at an upcoming communityenvironment forum hosted by Moonee ValleyCouncil.

Moonee Valley resident Richard Keech will bethe feature speaker at the event discussing howhe converted his home to significantly reduceenergy and water consumption. Sam Sangster,chief executive of Places Victoria, will present acase study on the Nicholson — an affordableliving infill development in Coburg.

Avondale Heights resident Ann Stevens saidshe was gradually trying to improve her home’sefficiency and welcomed information sessions.

Mrs Stevens said that over recent years she hadinstalled solar panels, solar hot water and awater tank plumbed to her laundry and toilet.

‘‘We started going down this path bothbecause we wanted to be environmentallyfriendly and we were also pretty sure the price of

electricity would go up so it would be goodeconomically. Now with the savings it will all payfor itself quite quickly.’’

The forum forms part of the council’sconsultation towards drafting a city sustainabil-ity strategy.

The council is looking for ideas for citysustainability from people and groups living andworking across Moonee Valley.

The environment forum is on August 27 from7pm, at 9 Kellaway Avenue, Moonee Ponds.

More questions: Rasiah Dev during his time atMoonee Valley Council. Picture: Lucy Aulich

Councillors quizzed on payments to ex-CEOPAST and present Moonee Valley councillorshave been re-interviewed by the LocalGovernment Investigations and ComplianceInspectorate in its ongoing investigation intofinancial matters relating to alleged pay rises toformer council chief executive officer RasiahDev.

The Moonee Valley Weekly reported inFebruary that the council was under dual invest-igation into financial matters relating to thealleged pay increases and a Niddrie landpurchase.

Mr Dev, now chief executive officer at DarebinCity Council, denied any knowledge of theinvestigation.

The Weekly now understands the investigationis solely concentrating on allegations that the

former chief executive was given an unauthor-ised 5 per cent pay rise during 2008.

It is understood that a council whistleblowerapproached the inspectorate with the allegations,which centre on variations to the terms of MrDev’s employment contract that were notapproved by the full council.

The inspectorate refused to comment on theinvestigation.

City plunges deeperinto pokies mireBY EUGENE BENSON ‘We want local government and

therefore local communities havingthe say on whether or not they wantpokies in their communities.’

— Mark Zirnsak

GAMBLERS in Moonee Valley are spendingmore than ever on pokie machines with almost$78 million disappearing into the municipality’s746 electronic gaming machines (EGM) in thepast financial year.

EGM expenditure in Moonee Valley jumped to$77.9 million in the 2011-12 financial year — upfrom $77 million the previous year.

The pokies plunge makes Moonee Valley thefourth-ranked Victorian municipality for totalmoney lost per head of population.

There are 8018 adults per EGM in MooneeValley and the average expenditure per adult is$874.

Moonee Valley is only beaten in this statisticby Greater Dandenong, Maribyrnong and Brim-bank.

Airport West’s Skyways Tavern is also in thestate’s top 10 highest earners with an incredible$18,238,708.69 million spent on pokie machinesat the venue.

Despite the alarming statistic, Mark Zirnsak,chair of the Interchurch Gambling Taskforce,said progress was being made.

‘‘There actually is evidence that the prevalence

of problem gambling has decreased; there are lesspeople playing the pokies than there used to be.

‘‘The trade-off is that the people with a prob-lem are losing more.

Mr Zirnsak said there had also been some winswith gaming regulation, including removingATMs from venues.

He said he would like to see local governmenthaving more say on pokie venue applications,and he hoped the state government would notmove to stop council’s placing differential rateson venues.

‘‘We want local government and thereforelocal communities having the say on whether ornot they want pokies in their communities.’’

Moonee Valley councillor Miriam Gillis saidthe council shared many of the wider com-munity’s concern about the rise in poker machinespending in the Valley. The council had not

received any new applications for additional ornew machines.

‘‘We have produced the Moonee Valley CityCouncil Electronic Gaming Machine GamblingBackground Paper to guide the development ofMoonee Valley City Council’s Gaming Policyand made a written submission to the joint selectcommittee on gambling reform — a federalgovernment-appointed committee identifyingmeasures that may encourage risky gambling’’.

Cr Gillis said the key measures identified bythe council were use of inducements or incentivessuch as complimentary or discounted drinks andmeals, with alcohol affecting players’ judgementand length of play.

She said the council also supported a move toensure there was six hours of shutdown at venuesto ensure gamblers had enforced breaks

Mr Zirnsak said his group was lobbying tohave venues closed between midnight and 10am.

Hats off to our troubled traders

Ideas man: Maribyrnong MP Bill Shorten convened a‘think tank’ for local traders to discuss ways to remainviable. Picture: Louie Douvis

MOONEE Valley’s retail sector is weatheringthe economic storm remarkably welldespite the most difficult trading conditions

in more than two decades.A survey of the four principal shopping centres

last week revealed just 20 empty shops in thePuckle Street, Niddrie, North Essendon and UnionRoad centres.

North Essendon and Union Road have been theleast impacted.

The shopkeepers deserve their own gold medalsas they hang in there, like most of us, waiting for amore upbeat economy. Re-letting the empty shopsis challenging for agents; some shops have beenempty for a year or so.

Local federal MP Bill Shorten has his finger onthe pulse, notwithstanding his busy ministerialcommitments. Last Friday he convened a think

tank of leading shopkeepers on how retailers canremain viable.

They identified how best to open new outlets toreplace those that have gone to the wall or, in somecases, been relocated.

Rents might be a smart place to start.A Westfield shopkeeper complained to a shopper

last week that he forked out $7000 monthly to hislandlord for his small store.

Add the rest of the costs just to open the doorsand it’s no wonder businesses are doing it tough.

Punching above their weightIt’s the golden jubilee this month for the Rotary Clubof Keilor, which will celebrate its achievements with adinner at Roslyn Court.

Essendon Rotarians launched the club in 1962 andthe group has an enviable record of achievement.Keilor is one of the most effective Rotary clubs inserving its community.

East Keilor doctor Leon Lewi, Niddrie pharmacistBrian Atkins and Amcor executive David Bourkehave been part of the dedicated team whose morerecent projects included running the former Keilorweekend market for seven years, staging a car andvintage bike exhibition and giving ongoing help totiny Wycheproof in north-western Victoria.

Rotarians provided materials and machinery tohelp build a 650-square-metre Wycheproof men’sshed, which is thriving. They also sent 60 second-hand computers for community groups and gave tan-gible patronage to the local festival and WycheproofCup celebrations.

Internationally, Keilor Rotary contributes toOperation Cleft, which helps under-privilegedchildren in Bangladesh, and community projects inCambodia.

The final word. . .Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

Public to fighthigh-rise planMOONEE Valley residents are pre-paring to fight another multi-leveldevelopment planned for their suburb.

Moonee Valley Council has receivedan application for a seven-storey,52-apartment complex at 521 MountAlexander Road, Moonee Ponds.

Resident Rohan Mills said that ifapproved, the development woulddwarf everything around it.

The application is likely to be heardby the council next month with severalobjections already received.

Mr Mills said the developmentwould not fit with the existing neigh-bourhood character which included atwo-story art deco building next door.

In recent months the council hasrejected a number of controversialapplications, including a five-storeydevelopment on Glass Street, Essen-don and plans for the construction ofan additional storey on a block ofunits at Ballater Street, Essendon.

The Glass Street decision is expectedto be appealed to the Victorian Civiland Administrative Tribunal.

Extending hand of friendshipBY EUGENE BENSON

Workingtogether: TonyPark and Johnhave forged agreatfriendshipsince meetingthrough theHelping HandProject. Picture:

Luka Kauzlaric

WHEN stay-home dad Tony Park signed up tovolunteer with the Helping Hand Project he neverrealised quite how rewarding it would be.

An Ascot Vale resident, Mr Park heard about theHelping Hand Project after reading about it in alocal paper.

The community-based volunteer organisation isaimed at providing young refugees with supportivementors.

With support from his family, Mr Park signed upwith Helping Hand and soon found himself matchedwith teenager John, also from Ascot Vale.

Originally from Sudan, John had also spent sometime in Uganda before he fled to Australia with hismother and large family.

In Africa, he struggled to get food and a basiceducation and said school fees in Sudan wereextremely high.

In Australia, John was ‘‘a little lost’’ according tohis mentor, and not sure what to do with his time.

Mr Park said he met up with John fortnightly tohelp him with whatever was going on in his life — apriority being to find John a soccer club.

Mr Park also helped John enrol in a Sports Educa-tion and Development Australia course to formalisehis expertise in soccer training and coaching.

John has welcomed the support of his mentor.“Tony is a good person. I can trust him,” he said.

According to Mr Park, soccer takes up most ofJohn’s time. ‘‘Spend just a short amount of time withJohn and you soon see where his passion lies.

‘‘If he isn’t kicking a football, he’s watching it on

television and he loves talking about it,’’ he said.

The Helping Hand Project is seeking newmentors. Phone 8060 3440 or visithelpinghandproject.org.au

THE Moonee Ponds Circolo PensionatiItaliani di Moonee Ponds — otherwiseknown as the Moonee Ponds Senior ItalianCitizens Club — celebrated its 25thanniversary last month with a lavishluncheon.

Formed in 1987, the club has continued togrow as Italian migrants to Moonee Valleyhave grown older but stayed in the area thatfirst welcomed them to Australia.

Club president Elisa Attard said the clubwas always grateful to Moonee Valley Coun-cil and the Victorian Multicultural Commis-sion for helping organise recreational andeducational activities for Italian residents ofMoonee Ponds in their twilight years.

‘‘In our club, every occasion on thecalendar is like the club’s anniversary.

‘‘Even when there aren’t any more occa-sions to celebrate, we always try to invent aspecial occasion or two just to make our-selves beautiful, come together and have funand enjoyment.

Frank Di Blasi said the celebration wasreally a celebration of Moonee Valley.

‘‘The Italian community chose this part of

the world as a perfect place to settle, build anew home and start a new chapter in theirlives. For us young Italian migrants, PuckleStreet, Moonee Ponds, and the former TownHall in the ’60s was like Rome to theRomans.’’

Professor Patrick McGorry became

the accidental face of mental health

when he was named Australian of

the Year in 2010.

Robert Fedele meets him two years

on and fi nds his fi ght for mental

A

WITH a lineage deeply rooted in medicine, it’s not surprising Patrick McGorry followed the career that has

gained him a national profi le.‘‘My dad and grandmother were doctors, my

mother was a nurse. There’s a lot of medicine in the family,’’ he muses.

The McGorry clan hail from Ireland. A teenage Patrick and his family emigrated in 1968, specifi cally to the seaside New South Wales town of Newcastle.

He later progressed to university where he duly enrolled in medicine, completing four years of study before steering a course into matters of the mind.

‘‘Medicine I found a bit limiting,’’ he says. ‘‘Psychiatry, when I was a medical student, seemed much more fascinating ... the human condition and trying to understand it all.’’

A shift in thinking had already begun. ‘‘I was a bit reluctant to get involved because it didn’t treat people very well,’’ he recalls of the system.

‘‘I guess there was identifi cation with the patients because they were getting such a raw deal. They were marginalised, very stigmatised in those days. It’s still a bit of a problem, but it’s getting better.’’

The wish to stick up for the underdog has never left McGorry, who moved to Melbourne in 1984 after studying psychiatry.

He now lives in Essendon.He began his work in a research unit called

the Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centre (EPPIC), attached to a large public mental health program at the former Royal Park Hospital in Parkville.

McGorry and his colleagues focused on young people who were hospitalised while experiencing


INSIDESTORY

their fi rst episode of psychosis. ‘‘It was horrible what they had to go through so

we tried to understand how to treat them better, how to use less medication, how to build more psychological and social supports for them.

‘‘In those days they got medicated and that was about it, whereas now we’ve got a much more holistic approach. Medication is still a big part for me, but there’s a lot more to offer.’’

Today McGorry can be found not far from his old stomping ground, at the Orygen Youth Health Research Centre in Parkville, which grew out of (EPPIC).

OYH has three main components: a specialised youth mental health clinical service, an internationally renowned research centre, and an integrated training and communications program.

It treats people aged 15–25 with mental health issues in the western and north-western suburbs of Melbourne.

‘‘If you happen to have a mental health problem in this age group in the west you’re in much better hands than if you were in the eastern suburbs,’’ he admits.

McGorry, 59, is also on the board of Headspace, the National Youth Mental Health Foundation, which now has 90 centres across Australia.

In a modest offi ce within a portable, he’s happy to open up on his views on the state of youth mental health.

The softly spoken McGorry’s main concerns surround early intervention and reducing the chances of full-blown psychosis.

‘‘[It’s] applying the same principles that you apply for diabetes, cancer or heart disease to mental health. Trying to pick up the problem as soon as it actually appears so the young person’s life doesn’t have to become a smoking ruin before they get help.’’

Yet his stance on early psychosis prevention is no stranger to controversy.

A quick Google search reveals several articles questioning the use of anti-psychotic drugs, and the risk of attempting to defi ne illnesses resulting in the unnecessary medication of patients.

McGorry is quick to correct what he sees as mistruths.

‘‘We don’t use medication in those early stages,’’ he corrects.

‘‘We use lifestyle and social and psychological interventions fi rst and if they don’t work we move on to medication.’’

The argument against early intervention is intertwined with fears of creating a generation of hypochondriacs.

‘‘OK, well, it might be a bit worrying having these illnesses but on the other hand it means we can get real help at the earliest point. We don’t have to wait until we’re in dire straits.

‘‘We’re not too worried about diagnoses actually. We’re just trying to help young people. If you’re struggling you need someone to listen to your story and you need to get help.

‘‘We don’t want to make people dependent or create problems where they don’t exist, but these problems are real.’’

Asked about the history of mental health treatment and how far it’s come, McGorry fl ashes back to the ’80s.

He says the 19th century asylum model that he trained in was only done away with in the ’90s.

Before that treatment was rigid and the biggest failure, he says, was the lack of a specifi c youth mental health stream of care.

‘‘Our current mental health system of late intervention within a beleaguered acute health system often abandons people at precisely the times they should be getting the most help,’’ his website declares.

‘‘They just dumped it in the acute hospitals and they didn’t build up the community and mental health side properly, so people are ending up in the emergency departments and the acute admissions wards of these general hospitals. And that’s the main thing that’s provided still.

‘‘So, in a way, the experience of the patient isn’t dramatically better in standard mental health care than it was back in the asylum days.’’

Yet while McGorry often laments the problems facing mental health, his outlook is largely positive.

He views Orygen as a success and is optimistic about its future.

‘‘We kind of reinvented the thing over the past 20 years or so and attracted a lot of national and international interest.

‘‘I feel optimistic we can actually continue to improve the thing but we defi nitely need community support.’’

Support of a different kind came when McGorry was named Australian of the Year in 2010.

Largely unknown, other than by those in the medical profession, McGorry suddenly became the face of mental health.

‘‘It was a bit surreal in some ways, very unexpected,’’ he says of the honour. ‘‘But it was great to help us with our mission of improving mental health care and especially for young people.

‘‘I think there’s still some legacy of that.’’McGorry concedes his newfound profi le allowed

him to push his agenda.Mental health received billions of dollars in

funding in last year’s budget, much of it directed at causes close to McGorry such as Headspace.

‘‘We did get much better access and community support because of that. But on the other hand it provoked a lot of push-back from our mental health colleagues,’’ McGorry points out.

Pressed further, he says he’s felt the brunt of the tall poppy syndrome.

‘‘It was a big responsibility. I wasn’t that public a person, but I felt I had to go for it.

‘‘I’d been trying to get that support for years before that so it was a great gift in a way.

‘‘[But] there’s been a downside because the tall poppy problem defi nitely happens as well. It’s a risky thing to be that prominent, mainly from colleagues; I wouldn’t say from media or political people. It’s been a small number of colleagues I’ve experienced it from. I guess it’s par for the course.’’

So does he consider himself controversial?‘‘I do because we just say it’s not good enough,

the way mental health care is, and that’s part of the reason why we got in trouble with some of our colleagues, because they’re much more complacent.

‘‘They want to defend a status quo and that’s not good enough for a country like Australia.

‘‘We say we want it to be a lot better and we want young people and their families to have much more of a say over the way things are provided.’’

Orygen’s services include inpatient, acute, outreach, case management, psychosocial programs, peer and family support.

The research centre leads a range of studies to better understand the biological, psychological and social factors that infl uence onset, remission and relapse of mental illnesses, in order to fi nd better ways to prevent or reduce the impact of mental disorders for young people.

McGorry offers examples of innovations, such as the use of fi sh oil to reduce the risk of psychosis, which has already seen pleasing results.

Later, the discussion moves to suicide, an issue McGorry feels strongly about and wants to tackle.

‘‘There are people dying around the north west of Melbourne every year. There’d probably be about 30 or 40 youth suicides [a year] happening because of a lack of help for young people. So it’s a serious thing.’’

It seems the main argument surrounding the covering up of suicide is the potential for ‘copycat’ episodes, a notion McGorry doesn’t subscribe to.

‘‘Actually, most of the copycats are driven by the Facebook sort of avenue or word of mouth, not by mainstream media.

‘‘The mainstream media reports the celebrity suicides anyway, which are the ones that are the most dangerous.

‘‘Whereas the ordinary suicide like John Smith in Moonee Ponds who killed himself is not actually reported, and that’s the one that should be because then people will be much more aware of how big a problem it is.’’

On a lighter note, McGorry spends his downtime surfi ng, the evidence plain to see from a Gone Surfi ng poster on his wall. He also cheers on his beloved North Melbourne Kangaroos in the AFL.

His wife is a physiotherapist and his three sons are involved in music, one of them a trumpeter with Eagle and the Worm, another the guitarist for Sasquatch.

He feels there’s still plenty for him to achieve. ‘‘Psychiatry is the sort of thing you can keep doing until you’re quite old. And hopefully you might get better at it with a bit more wisdom and age.’’

Business Profi leWith a family history in the food industry behind him, Anthony Bongiovanni has continued the tradition by opening a food emporium, A.Bongiovanni & Son Grocery Store in Seddon.

“My mother’s side of the family has a long line of fruiterers and my father’s family are butchers, so food has always been a big part of my life,” Anthony says.

The store specialises in organic and gluten-free products and aims to provide a different shopping experience.

“We aim to provide good old-fashioned service and carry more than 10,000 quality products, providing shoppers with more choices.”

Opened last month, the food store stocks fresh fruit and vegetables, groceries and dairy products, artisan-style freshly baked breads, a wide variety of cheese, pasta and sauces, and free-range and organic meat and poultry.

“We sell wholesome food with a selection of preservative-free products, including the delectable, gluten-free and vegan Coyo yoghurt made from coconut milk, and handmade Australian Conscious Chocolate.”

The shop is innovative in its approach, with wide aisles for shopper comfort and video presentations on how to utilise various products. And special attention has been paid to the look of the store.

Wooden panelling above the fruit and veg area made from old fruit boxes and leftover timber from a bull-nosed verandah combined with pressed metal defi nes the fi t-out.

All this, Anthony says, provides a pleasurable grocery shopping experience for quality-food enthusiasts.

The words ‘Girdwood Hygienic Library’ onthe glass above the front door of PepperCafe immediately grab your attention.

A hygienic library was designed to subdue thefears of people who held the belief, one whichhad been carried from the late 19th century tillthe 1950s, that books carried disease.

This library would wipe down the books withformaldehyde to reduce the risk of bacteriaspreading. In a very different world, the onlything that seems to be spreading at Pepper is thestrong sense of community.

We’ve popped in a few times now and it’s theflexibility and friendliness of the cafe that makesit easy to come back. Peppers has a lot going on.There’s breakfast and lunch most days of theweek and on Thursday and Friday nights theyopen for dinner serving ‘baked spuds’ as well asits housemade pizzas with a smart, affordablewine list.

We visited on a busy weekend and despite thechaos of the people buzzing through the room,the wait staff kept smiling. Places like Pepper givecommunities a focus with their doors open toserve locals with huge portions of fresh food.

The Pepper’s Stack, of smoked salmon, potatolatkes, spinach, poached egg and tomato relish

($14) is a very generous portion although thelatkes were burnt and seasoning was lacking.

French toast ($12) with loads of maple syrupand well-cooked bacon was a plateful of comfortfood, syrupy, spongy and salty while deliciousand freshly cooked pikelets with jam and cream(for the kids at just $7) arrived as three fat fluffypikelets riddled with good jam and sweetenedcream. Lunches include salads — roastedpumpkin salad ($11) with greens, goats cheeseand balsamic dressing is a satisfying meal andthere is a good selection of focaccias, enormoussandwiches filled with cajun chicken ($9) or aclassic BLT ($9.80).

There are cakes galore for morning or after-noon tea, such as lemon baked cheesecake or abig slice of lumberjack cake (both $7) whichprove to be a great match to the well-made cof-fee.

It’s a happy, cluttered room at Pepper thatbelies its former life as a hygiene library. Now thewords, community hub, would suit it better.

Bank on a little night magic

Generous, warm-hearted or truly caring about people’s real lives are not traits generally attributed

to banks, but the Flemington Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank is succeeding in breaking down that negative stereotype.

Spend fi ve minutes chatting to branch manager Grant Hopkinson and his passion and commitment to his community, particularly to those who need a leg-up, is immediately apparent.

“Our bank is fundamentally different to the major banks in that the community decides where to direct our profi ts, not a board of corporate suits. We’re in the business of listening to people in our area and directing our sponsorships and cash to individuals and groups who have genuine need of support,” Hopkinson explains.

This month, the bank lends its major sponsorship to Luna 1878, a winter night market in the historic sheds of Queen Victoria Market. Kicking off tomorrow, each Wednesday during August will celebrate Melbourne with

some of the city’s craftiest artisans, a rolling line-up of live music and warming street food. And it’s free.

“We’re getting involved with this event,” says Hopkinson, “to showcase different cultures and groups from Flemington, Kensington and North Melbourne. We wanted to be part of this because our intention is to reach out to as many people as possible to let them know we’re onside and understand community needs.”

The Melbourne Youth Music group will stage a special show at the market on August 22 (date to be confi rmed) and this is one group of young people to benefi t from the largesse of the bank. It is sponsoring fi ve students to the tune of $5000, which effectively enables these kids to have access to

instruments otherwise fi nancially out of reach.

On August 26, the inspiring sounds of the African Oromo group will be staged, with the aim of reaching out and fundraising. This group, who received $3000 from the bank to hold their recent community get-together, is committed to bringing African kids together to learn from their elders about their cultures and traditions.

The bank is also getting behind the Rotary initiative of a simulated driving experience at Luna 1878, to be run on 12 and 19 August. This is designed to give young newcomers to the country a chance to experience Australia driving conditions.

“We are a grassroots bank, with grassroots interests. We constantly have an ear out for where our community’s needs are; in fact, we’re planning a special forum in October to give people a chance to put forward ideas on how and where we can direct our support,” Hopkinson says.

“We are a grassroots bank, with grassroots interests. We constantly have an ear out for where our community’s needs are....”

Kids in the kitchenEating out with the family in Melbourne’s many

restaurants is great, but eating in with the kids after they’ve done the cooking (with a little supervision) can be even more rewarding.

Kids’ cooking classes are becoming increasingly popular, partly thanks to TV shows that suggest kitchens can be a ‘fun’ place, says Melbourne cooking school owner Susan Yarrow.

‘‘I’ve been running my kids’ cooking school and hosting birthday cooking parties for 12 years,’’ Susan says.

‘’In that time kids have become more interested in it since watching shows like Junior Masterchef.’’

The benefi ts for junior chefs are many, with cooking classes opening their minds to the world of food.

‘‘Cooking classes are great for kids’ self-esteem and to help educate their palate,’’ Susan adds. ‘‘It takes four to six tastings to appreciate a new fl avour.

‘‘In the classes they gain a better awareness of food preparation with safety issues being addressed in a controlled environment.’’

Susan says cooking classes are available for children up to 16.

They cover a range of sweet and savoury snack foods, desserts and heartier meals, depending on age and abilities.

‘‘We’ve made everything from lemon meringue pie and custard tartlets to salmon mornay, vegetarian moussaka and Italian pasta.’’

As kids can be fussy eaters, Susan says a great way to introduce new fl avours is to hide unknown food in a dish they enjoy.

‘‘Disguising food is a good way to get kids to eat whatever foods they’re unfamiliar with, like grating zucchini or carrot into bolognaise.

‘‘They’ll eat it with a different mindset.’’

Along with cooking classes, cooking parties are also proving a hit with little ones.

‘‘Cooking parties are particularly popular with boys as they watch male cooks on Masterchef whipping up a storm and want to create something themselves.’’

Cooking classes are a great way for kids to learn new skills, meet other youngsters with similar interests, and desist from playing computer games all day.

Showcasing springThe team at Riverside Kitchen and Events in

Ascot Vale is gearing up for a special event to showcase fresh, innovative food using locally-sourced farmers’ market produce.

The Tastes of Spring evening, matching fi ne food with wines, is on Saturday, September 8, and promises to be a treat for all foodies and wine connoisseurs.

Venue manager Rebecca Voce and head chef Steven Knight have designed a fi ve-course dinner to show just what can be achieved by thinking outside the square.

‘‘Our special dishes will include Bullfrog Gully egg ravioli with ricotta, pancetta and parmesan crisp,’’ says Rebecca, ‘‘and Cape Grim scotch fi llet with shitake tea, baby vegetables and potato fondant.’’

These will be teamed with desserts such as a lemon-lime tart, pina colada sorbet and coconut caramel.

Wines from the Tamar Valley in Tasmania and Yabby Lake and Rutherglen in Victoria have been carefully selected to enhance each dish.

‘‘We want to challenge people’s perception of food and the Tastes of Spring night will do just that,’’ explains Rebecca.

‘‘Steven’s dishes are modern Australian and inspired by the fresh produce the country has to offer. He has worked in fi ne dining and one hat restaurants all around the world and has also been trained in classic French cooking.”

The Tastes of Spring feast is $89 a person or $79 for VIP members.

The Riverside eatery’s regular all-day menu changes with the seasons so is a treat worthy of exploration any time.

There’s a function room for special occasions which seats 100 people or 200 for a cocktail-style event.

On the banks of the Maribyrnong River overlooking Essendon golf course, the venue’s setting provides amazing photo opportunities to capture special-occasion memories.

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

Snap up river-front luxuryThis as-new dwelling of about 30 squares stands for style, comfort and convenience.

The eventual buyers of this luxurious town resid-ence overlooking the Maribyrnong River andEdgewater Marina in Ascot Vale will change their

outlook, almost certainly for the very-much-better.One of six in a boutique block near the corner of

Kingston Avenue, the as-new dwelling of about 30squares has stood the test of time for comfort andconvenience since being completed nine years ago.

Accessed by foot over a timber bridge, the contem-porary dwelling allows entry via a Kenwei videointercom in its impressive facade.

The full-height door opens to a foyer that passes thekitchen on its way to the lounge and dining room.Highlighted by a gas log fireplace with custom-builtsurround, the lounge room captures panoramic riverviews, as does the dining space with its picturewindow. The lounge accesses the front balcony via asliding door. The well-equipped kitchen acts as thehub of the home, dividing the family room andinformal living domain.

A sliding door off the passage provides privacy fromthe entry. The kitchen incorporates black granite-

topped cabinets including full-height pantries and potdrawers, Ilve stainless-steel appliances (900mm under-bench oven, pull-out rangehood and four-burner gascooktop with central electric hotplate), sink withfiltered water, Bosch dishwasher and breakfast bar.

Immediately to the left of the entry is the familyroom. Enhanced by an inbuilt entertainment unit, ithas french doors that access the east-facing deck.

Off the dining area is the carpeted staircase, equip-ped with stair lighting and a feature window, ascend-ing to the top-level main bedroom suite. Thisincorporates a study that opens to a tiled terrace. Thestudy complements the fitted walk-in wardrobe andconnecting en suite, which is fitted with a doubleshower and frameless screen, vanity with his-and-hersemi-recessed basins, and toilet.

Near the family room and on the other side of thekitchen is a door near the descending staircase. It leadsinto a galley-style laundry behind bi-fold doors andthrough to a powder room. The powder room opensto the resort-style deck, which is also accessed fromthe family room.

The basement-level layout lends itself to being usedas guest accommodation or as an entertainment level.It includes a bedroom with built-in robes and slidingdoor that accesses a tiered vegetable patch and anear-new deck that takes full advantage of the rivervista.

There’s a second bedroom, fitted with Shuggwindows and built-in robes, which opens to the deck.Once used as a theatre room, the room is complemen-ted by a little-used bathroom, which has a toilet,

frameless-glass shower and vanity with semi-recessedbasin.

Also on the lower level is the double garage withremote-controlled door, storage room and separatewine cellar. With the bonus of a visitor’s parkingspace, the property also features a Kenwei video inter-com, Australian hardwood floorboards, insectscreens, venetian blinds, Electron intercom, Breezairevaporative cooling and split system heating andcooling.

The position of the hotel-style retreat will also haveno shortage of admirers. Close to walking and cyclingtracks that lead to Essendon and beyond, and with agolf course hole from the Riverside Golf and TennisCentre within 50 metres, the property also has HWCousins Reserve, Ascot Vale West Primary, VictoriaUniversity, sports amenities, bus, Flemington race-course and Showgrounds Village nearby.

The occupiers of 24 years have worked wonders, writes Ross McGravie

As Adriana and Jordan Djukanovic comparethe post-war home they bought 24 yearsago with the handsome bungalow-style

treat they are selling today, they’re stunned by thetransformation.

They were initially attracted by the location asAdriana worked in the city and Jordan at theairport, but the proximity to kindergartens andschools also played its part as they looked to thefuture.

“Moving to North Essendon gives you thatbest of everything — closeness to schools, cafes,restaurants, shopping centres, public transport,city, airport, ring road . . . what more can I say?It’s the perfect location,” Adriana says.

‘‘Essendon North shopping village has every-thing you need. Newsagent, butcher, bakery,fruiterer, chemist, cafes, restaurants and more.

‘‘One of our favourite cafes is the chic ParisianPatisserie Boulangerie. We also love Biagio’sRestaurant and Mamma Lina’s cafe . . . so closeand convenient to catch up with girlfriends for adrink or a relaxing meal with friends. There aretoo many great places to mention.’’

Then began the work, which was inspired byhomes around the area, with many of the finerperiod details completed by Adriana’s meticulousfather, John, and Jordan.

“The house was a post-war home, so having alove for heritage features, we decided to give itthe exterior characteristics of a period bunga-low,’’ Adriana says. ‘‘We installed original lead-light windows, added fretwork to the front of thehome and added a bay window to the mainbedroom and finished it off with a front picketfence.”

They also modernised the interior by removingthe carpet and polishing the baltic pine floor-boards; they added a powder room, updated the

laundry, replaced the roof, installed cooling andre-built the deck and entertainment area to makethe most of the north-facing backyard on the477-square-metre block.

Today, the extended residence has three bed-rooms with built-in robes, a bathroom, powderroom, lounge room, kitchen with meals area, andlight-filled rear family room. Extras include heat-ing and cooling, high ceilings, polished floor-boards, deck, workshop or studio and off-streetparking at the front.

Another bonus has been the family-friendlyneighbourhood, Adriana said. “We’ve been bles-sed with wonderful neighbours, and couldn’t askfor any better. They are like family. It’s a wonder-ful family-friendly neighbourhood.”

Given the many positive experiences, Adrianasays the family would be silly to go elsewhere, sothey’re intending to stay in the area.

‘‘This home has served us well. But with threegrown teenagers, we just need more room,’’Adriana adds.

‘‘The home has been great for us, as a coupleand now as a family, but it’s time to move on.

“There are many fond memories and greattimes to take with us. We will also dearly missour wonderful neighbours as they’re just likefamily.”

Drawing on life’s challengesLevent Efe depicts how ethnic community’s relate to Australia, writes Rebecca Miller

Cartoonist Levent Efe

Illustration training and expressinghimself through drawings is whatled Levent Efe to be a medical

illustrator and cartoonist.‘‘I did a post-doctoral degree in

medical illustration while overseasand that is my day job,’’ he says.

‘‘Freelance cartooning has alwaysbeen a healthy distraction, where I canexpress myself using the sameillustration skills.’’

From an early age, Turkish-bornLevent knew he wanted to use hiscreative talents to send subliminalmessages to society.

‘‘As a child I dreamt of channellingmy creative talent to fine arts, butdiscovered that figurative work anddidactic storytelling is what I do best.’’

‘‘My major mentor has been the lateOguz Aral, who single-handedly

nurtured an entire generation of car-toonists in Turkey in the 70s.’’

Levent focuses his cartooning ongiving a voice to people who’vemigrated to Australia, just as he didwhen he was 30.

‘‘My cartoons mostly appear in

Australian ethnic media, particularlythose published in Turkish. I try toshow the problems ethnic communitymembers face through integration.’’

His cartoons have appeared inmainstream newspapers, the TurkishReport Weekly newspaper and onlineblog, Ayorum.

‘‘Being able to get readers to thinkoutside the square and giving them agood belly laugh is the best reward fora cartoonist.’’

‘‘Life is multifaceted and there arelots of ways to interpret the world.Humour is the most creative one.Unique angles on life keeps me going.’’

He says his next career step is tocreate a perfect medium for online.

‘‘Media is going through enormouschanges and us creative folk have toadapt to ensure our craft isn’t lost.’’

Supercar — the next generationEwan Kennedy and Derek Ogden road test the Lexus GS 350 F Sport

Son of supercar: Lexus GS 350 F Sport, with LFA DNA.

Having driven the Lexus LFA supercar atSandown Raceway last year, we were wellaware of the stunning capabilities of this

aristocratic Japanese automobile manufacturer.Noted initially for superbly built but some-

what bland vehicles, Lexus has shown its LFA tobe the harbinger of a whole range of raw-edgedpremium product. Now comes the car that’s thenext step in the Lexus line-up, the GS 350.

Our car was an F Sport, which, at $107,497,falls in the middle of the new GS 350 range.

It’s easy to spot the Lexus LFA supercar DNAin the GS 350 F Sport jigsaw — large mesh sidegrilles, with central upper and lower grille help-ing to gulp cooling air into the engine compart-ment. That, and the daytime running lights,present an aggressive face to oncoming traffic.

Air flow is put to work in other ways with‘aerodynamic damping’, in which air is broughtcloser to the body to enhance handling.

A clever design of rear spoiler, narrow panelgaps and minimal protrusions add to aero-dynamic efficiency.

The sporty look is finished off by dark--coloured 10-spoke, 19-inch alloy wheels incor-porating black Lexus ‘L’ logo centres.

The Lexus F Sport is a four-door, five-seatsedan/coupe, whose interior includes matchingdoor and seat upholstery.

While occupants settle into 20-way electricallyadjustable front bucket seats, the driver can takeadvantage of an LFA-inspired dimpled steeringwheel and gear knob, and aluminium pedals anddashboard trim.

The 3.5-litre engine of the GS 350 produces27 per cent more power and 22 per cent moretorque than the previous Lexus GS 300, plusimproved fuel economy and lower carbondioxide emissions.

The GS 350 is capable of reaching 100km/hfrom rest in 6.0 seconds on the way to a topspeed of 235km/h.

Expect F Sport fuel consumption to dropunder eight litres per 100 kilometres cruising onthe open road. But in built-up areas the V6 cantake care of close to double that volume of fuel.

Price cut for upgraded Tarago

People mover: Toyota has a nice blend of style and common sense in its Tarago.

Toyota has carried out a midlifeupgrade of its Tarago people-mover. Even better news is the

drop in price, with Toyota respondingto competitive pressure from Koreanpeople movers and dropping therecommended retail of the Tarago GLiunder the critical $50,000 psycho-logical barrier. It’s now listed at$48,990, which Toyota Australiapoints out is the same price as six yearsago, in March 2006.

The value is further improvedbecause the 2012 Tarago has substan-

tially more standard features than that2006 model. These include seven air-bags (two in 2006), vehicle stabilitycontrol, traction control and emer-gency brake assist.

Pricing has been reduced on othermodels: by $2000 on four-cylinderTarago GLX, $2300 on V6 GLi and$1300 on V6 Ultima.

On the other hand, the Tarago V6GLX variant has had a specification-related price increase of $1390.

Four-cylinder Toyota Tarago GLiand GLX are now fitted with a fuel-

efficient continuously variable trans-mission. It can be used as a normalautomatic transmission or as a seven-speed sequential-shift transmission. Itreplaces an old-style conventionalfour-speed automatic.

Toyota tells us the new automatic,allied with modifications to the Tar-ago’s 2.4-litre petrol engine, lowersofficial fuel consumption by morethan 6 per cent – to 8.9 litres perhundred kilometres, based on theAustralian combined cycle.

GLENROY sent shockwaves through EssendonDistrict Football League division 1 on Saturdaywith a three-point win against ladder leaderAirport West.

While the Wallabies’ chances of making thetop two and earning a finals double chanceremain slim, Glenroy’s credentials as a potentialpremier were on show in the 14.11 (95) to 13.14(92) win at Sewell Reserve.

Airport West (14-2) is all but mathematicallyguaranteed a top-two finish with two roundsremaining due to its percentage, while WestCoburg (13-1-2) would have to lose its last two

games to leave the door open for Glenroy in third(12-4).

The Wallabies did move a step closer tosecuring finals action with the win though, need-ing to win one of its final two games against Tul-lamarine or Westmeadows to ensure a spot in thetop four.

Airport West led by three goals at the finalchange, but seven Glenroy goals to three in thefinal quarter turned the match. Adam Denniswas Glenroy’s star with five goals. Airport Westwill look to bounce back against West Coburgthis weekend. The Eagles followed their onlyother defeat this season (against Hadfield) bybeating West Coburg the week after in May.

In division 2, Moonee Valley threw the premi-ership race wide open by running away to beatEast Keilor by 60 points.

The Valley led by 12 points at the last changebefore piling on nine final-quarter goals to EastKeilor’s two in the 18.15 (123) to 8.15 (63)result.

Hillside (7-9) seized top spot on the ladder onpercentage from East Keilor, while with only oneround until finals, Moonee Valley (5-11) cannotclaim a double chance at either of the top two’sexpense.

BY TEO PELLIZZERI

MARIBYRNONG Park landed a devastating blowin the Essendon District Football League finals raceby kicking away from Keilor to win by 12 points inpremier division at the weekend.

The final two goals of the game were enough forthe Lions to hold on to victory after overturning ascoreboard in Keilor’s control for much of the game,

15.19 (109) to 15.7 (97). Maribyrnong Park (8-7)maintained a game advantage in fourth from OakPark (7-8) as well as a 12-point percentage gap.

The teams square off in the final round of thehome and away season.

Keilor (6-9) missed the chance to stay part of thethree-team race, now two games and two percentagepoints off fourth place with just three games remain-ing in the home and away season.

Inaccuracy plagued Maribyrnong Park eventhough the balance of play was even in the openingexchanges.

Keilor got the fast start though, to lead 6.1 to 3.8at quarter-time.

The Lions grabbed the lead briefly at the end ofthe third quarter but Keilor rallied to lead by nine atthe final change.

But six final-quarter goals from MaribyrnongPark to Keilor’s three shifted the momentum for afinal time to seal a valuable win.■ Craigieburn was officially relegated to division 1with its 76-point loss to Aberfeldie at Clifton Park.

The winless Eagles fell four wins behind AvondaleHeights with three rounds remaining after theHeights held on to a five-point win against PascoeVale.

Craigieburn earned promotion after winningB grade in 2005 by beating West Coburg in thegrand final.

The Eagles play Greenvale and Strathmore in thenext two games before finishing their seven-seasonstint in A Grade/Premier with Avondale Heights.■ Essendon Doutta Stars challenged Strathmoreearly but a 10-goal second quarter from the reigningpremier swung the margin permanently on the wayto a 36-point win.

The Mores notched up a 15th straight win and arenow just three games away from a perfect home andaway season after the 19.12 (126) to 13.12 (90) win.

The Stars had the better of the first term at Leba-non Reserve but kicked an inaccurate 3.8 to lead by18 at quarter-time.

But 10 second-quarter goals to one put Strath-more up by 39 at half-time.

Essendon Doutta Stars’ five-win, 10-loss record isgood enough for eighth on the table while Strath-more maintained its one-game advantage fromGreenvale (14-1) at the top.

Off the courtMARG LIND — City West coach

‘‘We had a very measured discussion with theexperienced players about where they thoughtwe should go in the last [quarter].

‘‘Over time this season we’ve had a fewstruggles in terms of combinations and we’velearnt our lesson and that showed tonight.

‘‘The last combination was what did it.‘‘I spoke to her [Maggie Lind] about running

some set patterns that we run, which got her onthe shot.

‘‘They hadn’t been doing that, they’d beentrying to isolate Kath (Knott) and focus on Kathtoo much. Getting Maggie on the shot, it openedup the game.

‘‘This year we went back to the drawing boardafter throwing in the young ones last year andlooked at what we needed.

‘‘Kath Knott was obviously the perfectaddition because that’s what we were lacking.

‘‘This is a good one because it shows that we’vemade the transition with the younger players.We’ve been able to throw them in, in the heat andin the end they’ve come through.

‘‘It took them a while, but they got there.’’MATT HILLS — VU Western coach

‘‘The first five minutes of the final quarter waswhere the game was won and lost . . . we made acouple of basic errors and they were able to holdtheir lead.

‘‘We went into three-quarter-time with all themomentum and gave ourselves a chance to win.

‘‘I never doubt this group. We’ve done it allyear and we’ve got one of the best defensivegroups. [City West] started well but we didn’tconvert well. Sophie Barr my young goaler waszero-from-four and at one stage Mel was onefrom five, we were one from nine and you don’twin games with that.

‘‘We made a goaler change (Megan Fitz-patrick) that challenged them. We’ve come fromsecond last winning three and a half games to agrand final, and had a chance to win it. Thisgrand final was heartbreaking to lose but in thebigger picture it was a bonus.’’CHRISTIE BARNES — best-on-court medallist

‘‘I just entered really wanting that win andhoping to play a part and as Marg said, not to bea spectator, get in there.

‘‘The MVP has just blown me away.’’‘‘The coaching panel is on the same page and

they knew what we could do and it was a matterof putting everything we’ve done all year intothat last quarter and not deviating from that withpanic. All year we’ve worked on structure andjust committing to the way we play.’’BROOKE THOMPSON — VU Western captain

‘‘The first five minutes of the game tends to beour worst and it was again.

‘‘Me and Fi (Themann) have been workingtogether for a couple of years and we really arean awesome defence end . . . I back her to go forit, she backs me, it’s a two-way street for us bothback there. We knew Maggie was going to tryand take me out of the game by taking me wideand outside of the circle, we knew what theywere going to do and they pulled it off, andclearly they deserve to win it.’’

Withering burstsgive Falcons the titleBY TEO PELLIZZERI

Key battle: City West’s Kathleen Knott gets to the ballahead of VU Western Lightning’s Fiona Themann.

TWO scoring blitzes in the first and finalquarters delivered City West Falcons theVictorian Netball League championship by fivegoals on Saturday night.

VU Western Lightning threatened to take thetitle by pegging back a big early deficit to levelthe game at three-quarter-time but City Westresponded to win a third title in four years withthe 42-37 victory.

Mid-courter Christie Barnes won the best-on-court award but it was the Falcons’ sharp-shooters Kathleen Knott and Maggie Lind whoheld their nerve in the early stages and desperatefinal quarter.

Knott was near unstoppable from the firstwhistle as her presence close to the ring gave theFalcons a stable target.

The margin got as high as seven goals beforeLightning defenders Fiona Themann and BrookeThompson started to generate turnovers in theback court.

The Lightning finished quarters stronger anddrew level with the Falcons at the end of the thirdquarter as goalers Megan Fitzpatrick andMelissa McCauley capitalised.

But another withering burst at the start of thefinal quarter all but ended the contest, with CityWest scoring four unanswered goals in twominutes and 21 seconds.

VU pegged the deficit back to four but a cleverin-bound pass from Maggie Lind to herselfallowed an easy shot under the ring to sparkanother Falcons run, making the score 38-31.

Lind would again settle any Falcon nerves with2.28 remaining as her long-range goal found thenet to make the score 42-36 before a scrappy anddesperate final exchange with just one more goaladded to the score.

City West won back-to-back titles under itsformer name Hume City in 2009-10 beforerelocating to Altona and becoming City West.

Coach Marg Lind has overseen the Falcons’domination of the state’s top netball competition.
