Mill Park resident Carmen Andrews (pictured at home) has lived with the debilitating effects of psoriasis for more than 30 years. She felt stigmatised when her skin � ared up and says she didn’t wear a dress or short sleeves for all that time. But now on the mend after treatment, her life is back on tracks. She hopes a new awareness campaign launched on World Psoriasis Day will break down the barriers of embarrassment, fear and anxiety associated with the condition and lead others to seek the right medication. ■ STORY, PAGE 10

tight vote goes the way of mayoral veteranswhittlesea

A new moon over the lake in front of Whittlesea council o� ces signalled a new broom at town hall, and the ‘broom’ duly made its sweep as anticipated by outgoing mayor Rex Gri� n.

� e north ward representative had expected one of his more junior ward colleagues, Ricky Kirkham or Nicola Davis, would be standing in his place.

Cr Gri� n told the Weekly he had the chance to be voted in as mayor for a second term but had decided one of the younger councillors should “have a go”, and so relinquished an opportunity to continue in a job he had relished for the past 12 months.

In fact, south-east ward councillor Mary Lalios became the new mayor of Whittlesea a� er a one-vote win over the only other nominee, Cr Davis , at a council meeting on Wednesday night.

Cr Lalios was elected to council in 2005 and this is her third term in the top job, having served as mayor in 2008 and 2009.

Her south-east ward colleague Stevan Kozmevski was elected deputy mayor.

Cr Kozmevski was elected to the council in 1997 and served as mayor in 2011.

When the vote at the council meeting hit � ve for Cr Lalios, Cr Gri� n said he was “very disappointed” to see Cr Kirkham raise his hand in support of a third term in the top job for Cr Lalios, tipping the numbers against the bid of Cr Davis at 6/5.

“� at was a shock,” Cr Gri� n conceded, although he said he recognised that Cr Lalios was “a very astute person” with the experience needed to be mayor of such a fast-growing city.

Cr Kirkham told the Weekly his decision to throw his support behind Cr Lalios was done with the intention of presenting a united front and discontinuing simmering divisions that he said had no place in the council chamber.

“It was a very di� cult decision to make and not one that I made lightly,” Cr Kirkham said.

“I understand the disappointment of other

and I am committed to providing strong leadership to help deliver positive outcomes,” Cr Lalios said.

“� ere are a number of critical priorities for Whittlesea, such as a need for family violence services, a primary school in Epping North and Mernda South, and a police station in Mernda .

“We also have a critical backlog of transport needs, including the need for the state government to extend the rail line from South Morang to Mernda and build the O’Herns Road interchange on the Hume Freeway,” she said.

“For the ward I represent, the south-east

people, but I believe it was done in the best interest of the city, given the underlying tensions.” Cr Kirkham described local government as “a very interesting beast” .

� e Weekly understands that both he and Cr Gri� n have made similar submissions to the local government electoral review being undertaken by senior Liberal Party � gure Petro Georgiou, supporting greater stability in local leadership by having popularly elected mayors for four-year � xed terms, as is the case in some other states.

Cr Lalios said she had the passion and enthusiasm needed to do the job.

“� ere are many challenges our city faces

ward, I would also like to see the state government extend the number 86 tram to South Morang.” \

we’re not moving, say upper house’s finn, elsburySunbury

Western Metropolitan Liberal MPs Bernie Finn and Andrew Elsbury have ruled out contesting the newly formed seat of Sunbury at next year’s state election.

Speaking to the Weekly , both denied rumours they were looking to make the switch to the lower house.

Mr Finn, who lives in Bulla, said people had been asking him for months whether he would stand for the new seat, which is similar to the old seat of Tullamarine that he

represented as MP from 1992-1999. He lost to Labor’s Liz Beattie in 1999 and the seat was later abolished.

“If I’m elected again I will be delighted to represent Sunbury in the upper house,” Mr Finn said.

“I used to live in Sunbury; my children go to school there and I do a lot of things there,” Mr Finn said. “But I will not be contesting the new [lower house] seat of Sunbury.”

Mr Elsbury, who lives in Werribee, said he had heard the rumours that he was

considering contesting the Sunbury seat.“At my electoral conference I announced

I would be running for Western Metropolitan region again.”

� e Weekly believes Mr Finn’s wife Cathy is considering standing for the Liberal Party. She stood as the Liberal candidate for the seat of

Yuroke in 2006. “If she is to run, she would be a � rst-class candidate,” said

Mr Finn about his wife .Sunbury resident Ben Collier, who

withdrew as the Liberal candidate for the

“she would be a

first-class candidate”

federal seat of McEwen for family reasons in April, said he was considering all his options.

Sunbury ALP branch president and former Hume young citizen of the year, Jamie Byron has con� rmed he will stand for Labor Party preselection. “� e Labor party is , however, yet to open nominations for state seats and determine a preselection timetable,” he said.

Sunbury councillor Jack Medcra� has said that he would consider contesting the seat. He stood for the seat of Macedon in 2006 and Niddrie in 2010. \

ClarificationIn last week’s Weekly, it was stated: “Although no group was speci� cally set up to oppose a Sunbury move out of Hume, a loose coalition of residents, including some organisers of the annual Sunfest event, established an internet-based opinion page for people to post alternative views.” The Weekly wishes to clarify that committee members of Sunfest have nothing to do with the organisation of this opinion page. The Sunfest committee is expressly non-political and has expressed concern that it may be perceived to be taking sides. \

BRIEFSorange, colourof reassurancecraigieburn

For tomorrow’s Wear Orange Wednesday, SES volunteers and their families and friends don the trademark colour to � y the � ag for the organisation once known as “civil defence”.

Wear Orange Day is part of Victoria State Emergency Service’s Week, with the colour highlighting the wide-ranging response capabilities required of volunteers and their community-based units at roadside rescues and during natural disasters.

� ere are 5500 volunteers attached to SES units across Victoria and more than 27,000 Australia-wide.

Craigieburn SES founder Paul Ledwich remembers the early 1980s when the local SES truck was parked in a member’s driveway when not in use and equipment was stored in sheds and garages.

� at was before a railing was put on the median strip to divide tra� c on the Hume Highway. Easter was the nightmare long weekend of the road accident calendar.

“Easter and Christmas ... but that’s all quietened down now,” Mr Ledwich said.

� ese days, any time can be busy. Unit volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Mr Ledwich remembers using his then 13-year-old son Martin as “the patient” for members learning to bandage, test blood pressure and stabilise broken bones.

Now Martin is his unit controller, and � rst aid has become a lot more sophisticated.

So, too, has the SES network, with Hume council supporting units at Sunbury and Broadmeadows as well as Craigieburn.

Sunbury unit controller Anthony White wants as many Hume residents as possible to wear orange tomorrow, and then post pictures of themselves at work, school or play on to facebook.com/sessunbury

alarm bells as north-west road funding falls by 27%transport

VicRoads funding for roads in Melbourne’s north-west has been cut by more than $40 million, according to � gures released by the state opposition last week.

� e � gures, based on VicRoads documents, show that across the state $160 million less was allocated in VicRoads’ 2012-13 funding than in 2011-12.

In the metro north-west region, which includes Hume and Whittlesea, funding dropped by 27 per cent – from $149 million in 2011-12 to $108 million in 2012-13.

� e region, which covers 14 municipalities, includes four growth area councils : Hume, Whittlesea, Melton and Wyndham.

As reported by the Weekly , growth area councils have been calling for more funding to be spent on roads in outer Melbourne.

In August, Auditor-General John Doyle criticised successive state governments and VicRoads for failing to provide adequate funding for transport and roads in growth areas.

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said these funding cuts were responsible for roads’ falling into disrepair , creating a safety hazard for motorists.

“It’s pretty simple: if you take money out of road maintenance and don’t build new roads, the quality of roads in Victoria will su� er and so will motorists,” he said.

VicRoads metro north-west regional director Patricia Liew said the utility couldn’t comment on the � gures as it was unclear how

they had been calculated.“In 2013-14, we are spending $466 million on road maintenance ,” she said. “� e targeted road repair and restoration program will ensure the life of these roads is extended for decades .

“In addition to maintenance funding, the Victorian government has

provided $630 million for spending on a number of vital new road projects.

“In Melbourne’s north and west, safety improvements will be carried out at intersections at Pascoe Vale Road (Hume),

while Cooper Street (Epping) will be widened to three lanes in each direction between the Hume Freeway and Edgars Road.

Whittlesea council’s Mary Agostino said VicRoads was currently doing major works on the Metropolitan Ring Road through the municipality and they would not be completed until 2015.

‘‘We are hoping the signalisation of Epping Road/Harvest Home Road intersection will commence this � nancial year, ’’ she said.

� e state opposition has set up a website, FixOurRoads.com.au to allow residents to nominate dangerous roads that need � xing.

Roads Minister Terry Mulder did not respond to requests to comment. \

college seeks a fresh track for star female studentsGREENVALE

Greenvale’s Aitken College is exploring ways to broaden the horizons of its star female students.

High achievers in maths and sciences were invited to take part in a project to address how girls view engineering as a future career option.

Science faculty head Adele Hudson signed up 20 female maths and science students to the project in June a� er being invited by the Hume Whittlesea Local Learning and Employment Network to work with Metro Trains as a workplace o� ering diverse opportunities for women in engineering.

Dr Hudson said a highlight was a visit by Jennifer Nguyen, a young graduate engineer now working with Metro Trains.

“Jennifer was able to explain the day-to-day tasks of a graduate mechanical engineer,” Dr Hudson said.

Careers counsellor Rae Gibbs said the girls worked in teams designing research projects and action plans. � ey also surveyed year 8

students about their awareness of engineering and used experiments to illustrate to younger students how engineers set about their tasks.

“Our girls discovered that skills they enjoy, such as problem-solving, creativity, design and communication, are a vital part of the

work of engineers but also transferable to a wide range of career options open to

them in the future,” Ms Gibbs said.� e project culminated in a visit

to the University of Melbourne engineering faculty, where they used computers to manipulate

robots, and to the city o� ces of Metro Trains, where the girls

presented their � ndings to senior sta� . School principal Kim Forward said

it was hoped the familiarisation project would be used by other schools to help stimulate interest in and provide a greater understanding of engineering as a rewarding career for women. \ HG

■ As a Sunbury resident, I have concerns about the well-being of our community, that is if the [Local Government] minister decides to split Sunbury from Hume. After hearing of the atrocious carry-on that went on at the mayoral election meeting on Thursday night, my concerns have escalated three-fold. We voted these Sunbury councillors in to work for us. If they treat their peers like this in a public meeting, is it any wonder the rest of Hume want us out. These are the same men pushing to leave Hume, and they have the audacity to stand up and say, “Sunbury is capable enough to go it alone’’. Well, I’m very sorry, but if it’s with the likes of these councillors, we are already doomed. Let’s pray the minister can see sense and leave things the way they are.JULIE SMILEY \ VIA ONLINE

■ Congratulations to Casey Nunn on being voted as Hume mayor for the next 12 months. Such a well-deserved appointment. Sad that there are some very immature councillors still on the council that have run their time. Such childish behaviour from Cr Jack Medcraft, but actually the of� cial photo was enhanced without these “kids’’ in it! Shameful behaviour. If you cannot be part of the team, step off .KATHY \ VIA ONLINE

■ I expect the two Jacks to start bitchin’ soon as they were excluded from the team photo. Has anyone thought of getting rid of local government altogether?H THE B \ VIA ONLINE ■ The real truth is that the boys tried to use bully tactics and it didn’t work. Maybe they should be bought a calculator to � gure out numbers. Sunbury is lucky to have one councillor who can work as part of the team.

after this childish display. Good luck to young Casey; she deserves to be given a go!KATE \ VIA ONLINE ■ It took a village to raise the two Jacks. The rest of Hume looks forward to their secession.HILLARY \ VIA ONLINE

BOYCOTT MARS THE MOMENT(Weekly, November 5)

■ As Jack Ogilvie’s wife, I feel very strongly about this article. Since my husband became a councillor in 1990, I have responded to articles in your paper on only one other occasion. I have chosen to respond this time because I believe your reporter has in� amed an issue and defamed my husband. The abuse yelled from the gallery at the mayoral election and the exclusion of two councillors by other councillors in the mayoral discussions created a volatile situation any sensible person would walk away from. All authorities advise you that when a situation can get out of control you should walk away. Yet when my husband did this to defuse the tension, your reporter chose to, in my opinion, victimise him. Your reporter stated that “her [the new mayor’s] big night was marred by the antics” and I � nd it offensive and incorrect to call it “antics”. Your reporter failed to mention Jack Ogilvie had already withdrawn from running for mayor,

LEASED Parkland TO give way for clinic

A new GP super clinic is planned for parklands next to Banksia Gardens Community Centre at Broadmeadows.

Hume council has resolved to surrender its long-term lease of the parklands, owned by the Department of Human Services and used as a community gardens and activities area abutting the centre, to allow the clinic development to go ahead.

A report to the council anticipates the department would then sell an area of Banksia Gardens fronting Coleraine Street to Dianella Community Health so it is able to build and operate the clinic.

Another part of the gardens, which the council has maintained and developed for more than 20 years, is a protected conservation site in Hume’s natural heritage strategy, containing native grasslands deemed signi� cant.

� e council has noti� ed the Department of Human Services of the site’s protected status.

Redeeming its once peppercorn rental will save the council more than $27,000 a year. \ HG

grow that mo, bro, and help beat cancerNowadays you could be forgiven for confusing the pronunciation of the 11th month of the year.

� e take-up of Movember Foundation, the independent global charity that asks its participants to grow a moustache – or ‘mo’ – for the month of November to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and mental health issues, was staggering last year.

More than 1.1 million ‘Mo Bros’ and ‘Mo Sistas’ joined the movement, raising $141.5 million across the world. � e Australian tally was $29.1 million.

Since its humble beginnings in 2003, Movember has raised more than $450 million towards men’s health research worldwide.

Hume Central Secondary College teacher Michael Mawal has rallied teachers and students at the school to grow a moustache and contribute to tackling men’s health issues for the remainder of the month.

While he has had no direct contact with anyone a� ected by prostate cancer, the Moreland youth worker works closely with young men dealing with mental health issues.

“Seeing the increase in young teenage boys developing depression or anxiety, I wanted to make people aware that these people are struggling,” Mr Mawal said.

It’s the third time he has taken part in the

campaign, and he’s managed to convince seven teachers and nine students to join in his hair-growing and fund-raising e� orts.

“I didn’t want to be embarrassed by myself with a sleazy mo. Now even the campus principal is involved,” Mr Mawal said.

� eir team of students and teachers hopes

to beat last year’s e� orts and raise more than $1200.

“ Together we will grow our mos and make Hume proud,” Mr Mawal said. \

Following the death of her four-year-old daughter about 30 years ago, Mill Park resident Carmen Andrews took little notice of a few irritable patches

of dry skin on her legs.Her doctor told her it was a by-product of the trauma

she had been through, and that it would go away.“I was a mess and it wasn’t a priority anyway. But as

the years went on it got worse,” Andrews (pictured at home) says.

For four years, she didn’t realise there was a history of psoriasis in the family.

But when her younger brother developed a brain tumour and died shortly after, her father developed the same dry, flaky and irritable skin condition she had complained of since the death of her own daughter.

Little by little, a pattern emerged of hereditary psoriasis. Her grandmother often complained of severe dandruff, which, in hindsight, was probably a sign she, too, suffered from the disease, which is often triggered by stress, Andrews says.

And her family is by no means alone. According to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures, more than 500,000 Australians have psoriasis.

Each year, World Psoriasis Day – October 29 this year – is used to raise awareness and give sufferers a voice.

This year’s theme was to promote access to treatment, a message echoed by a new Australian campaign that includes two television commercials and a new website, mypsoriasis.com.au.

Asked whether she ever felt stigmatised when her skin flared up, Andrews answers with a resounding

PROfiLE \ After yeArs of suffering, cArmen Andrews feels fine in her skin, writes leXi cottee

“Heavens, yes! I didn’t wear a dress or short sleeves for over 30 years.”

According to Associate Professor Peter Foley, director of research at the Skin & Cancer Foundation Inc, psoriasis is a complex inflammatory condition that can be physically and psychologically devastating and is often associated with other serious chronic health

conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and joint problems.

In search of a remedy, Andrews tried altering her diet and spent a small fortune on creams, salts and UV lights over the years, all to no avail.

Four years ago she was hospitalised at St Vincent’s with severe hypothermia. Hospital

staff recommended she try a biologic medicinal product known as Humira. The treatment has given her a new lease of life.

“I’m just about clear now. I don’t think you’d even notice it any more. When it’s at its worst, it’s itchy, it’s really quite debilitating. But you don’t have to suffer,” she says.

The remarkable improvement in her condition has allowed the former bookkeeper to return to study and set up her own mortgage broking business. She hopes the awareness campaign breaks down the barriers of embarrassment, fear and anxiety associated with the condition and will lead others to seek the right medication.

“A little jab can give you a normal life,” Andrews says. \

more space forcaravan builder

Hume mayor Casey Nunn has been vindicated in her belief in a caravan-led recovery, at least for one group of road-users.

Earlier this year, Cr Nunn proposed Hume council investigate becoming an o� cial caravan-friendly tourist town, but the bureaucracy found this was not a simple task as it would require signi� cant and expensive infrastructure and space .

But Cr Nunn pursued the idea and last week joined state Manufacturing Minister David Hodgett at the opening of a new $3.5 million manufacturing space for Nova Caravans at the company’s Campbell� eld base.

� e new 3000-square-metre facility is expected to increase production capacity of Nova caravans by up to 40 per cent.

� e company, established in 2005, is one of the top 10 Victorian caravan manufacturers and employs 66 people .

“� e sector has grown steadily at around 3 per cent annually over the past � ve years and there were 11,300 new caravan and campervan registrations in Australia in the three years to 2012,” Mr Hodgett said. \ HG

fifty years of lovegladstone park

A chance meeting at a Perth restaurant in 1961 has led to a lifetime together for Gladstone Park couple Beth and Lyle Wilson, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last month.

� e couple (pictured, with their wedding photo) met in Scarborough in Western Australia through Mrs Wilson’s eldest sister and her friends whil e visiting from Victoria.

“Lyle worked for Elders and came down from the country to Perth occasionally,” Mrs Wilson said. “� at’s how he met my sister and friends, and then we met a couple of weeks later.

“When my eldest sister and I went for a meal, the [Elders] boys happened to be there . My sister said, ‘Oh, they’re those boys we met the other night. Hello, hello! Come and meet my sister’.”

Mr Wilson popped the question in May 1963 and the pair tied the knot in the Scarborough Baptist Church on October 12 of that year.

� e family o� en had to move depending on where Mr Wilson’s work for Elders took him.

“When we got married we lived in a place called Dumbleyung in Western Australia. We were there until 1965, then we came back to Melbourne ,” Mr Wilson said.

“ We were in Shepparton from 1969 to 1972. Now we are here and have been since 1973.”

� e couple, both 76, have three daughters Leeza, 48, Joanne, 45, and Suzanne, 44, six

grandchildren and one great-grand daughter For the past 20 years, they have treated themselves to annual caravan trips to Queensland, meeting friends in Port Douglas, Rollingstone and Main Beach.

� e couple will celebrate the ir anniversary with family and friends this Saturday. \

WEB’S VIRTUAL LESSONSREMOTE TEACHING

A computer with internet connection is all students will need to access state-of-the-art equipment from La Trobe University’s physics department at Bundoora.

� e universit y’s next-generation approach to science education – Freely-Accessible Remote Laboratories (FAR Labs) – will be o� ered to all Australian secondary schools following its o� cial launch on November 27.

� e program was designed to engage students in years 9 to 12 studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

For some years, La Trobe University academics Drs B rian Abbey and David Hoxley and Professor Paul Pigram have been working on a di� erent approach to teaching physics in secondary schools.

“ Many schools lack specialist physics teachers, and the safety rules are very restrictive, among other things. I thought, we’ve got the experiments, so let’s connect them,” Dr Hoxley said. Schools can sign up to the program for free. Registration grants access to virtual hands-on laboratory experiences for their students, including access to the Australian Synchrotron.

“James Cook University in Townsville

and Curtin University in Perth are leaders in long-distance education ,” Dr Hoxley said of the program’s partner organisations, which also include Quantum Victoria.

Subjects on o� er include the power of di� erent types of radiation, structural analysis of materials, and environmental science issues. Teachers from 82 schools have registered, including Northside Christian College in Bundoora and Whittlesea Secondary College, and more than a dozen have used the site so far. \

forum examines pokies riskWHITTLESEA

Whittlesea Interagency Taskforce on Gambling (WITOG) will host a community forum today to highlight the harm caused by poker machines.

More than $93 million was lost in pokies in Whittlesea alone last year, a� er more than $100 million in 2011-12.

A partnership of frontline service organisations dealing with the local impact of problem gambling has organised the forum. It includes Whittlesea Community Connections, Plenty Valley Community Health, Kildonan UnitingCare, Salvation Army Crossroads, Neami National, and Hume Whittlesea Primary Care Partnership.

WITOG was set up in December last year a� er the collapse of the council-run Whittlesea Responsible Gaming Forum, which tried for almost a decade to bring venue operators and social support agencies together to work on problem areas.

But venues were accused of refusing to trial reforms or support the agencies dealing with the impact of problem gambling.

Community Connections chief executive Jemal Ahmet told the Weekly that venues were asked to limit the number of withdrawals through E� pos – a scheme

introduced a� er the state government removed ATMs from gaming venues.

“People can make multiple withdrawals until their money runs out or they reach a daily limit, and we asked this be restricted to one withdrawal,” Mr Ahmet said. “� e venues said it would disadvantage other card-users, like diners, which is nonsense.”

He said the venues also refused to contribute to a local fund for services for problem gamblers.

A spokesman for ALH group, which runs the Bundoora Hotel, the Plough in Mill Park and the Excelsior in � omastown, said demands on local venues to reduce problem gambling exceeded mandatory standards.

Mr Ahmet will mediate today’s forum at which speakers will be Dr Mark Zirnsak, chairman of the Victorian Interchurch Gambling Taskforce ; Whittlesea council chief executive David Turnbull; and the regional adviser on prevention of gambling-related harm, Dr Susan Rennie.

� e forum is from 10am- noon at the Salvation Army Plenty Valley, corner Morang Drive and Fred Hollows Way, in Mill Park. \

Education \ JO DAVY meets the Victorian Koori student of the year

young indigenous students in Melbourne’s northern suburbs the same support he says was integral to his schooling.

The 28-year old Heidelberg resident completed a diploma of community services work at

Swinburne University of Technology in 2012 through his position as an early

school-leavers worker with the Victorian Aboriginal Community Services Association (VACSAL).

Atkinson’s work with indigenous students at risk of leaving school earned him the Victorian Koori student of the year at the Victorian Training Awards on September 6.

He says winning the award was “a humbling experience” and an

acknowledgement of his contribution to the indigenous community that he is proud of.

Despite a long-standing appreciation of the importance of education, Atkinson started working in the field just 12 months ago. Before joining VACSAL, he spent seven years working in multimedia

In 2002, Casey Atkinson became the first indigenous student to complete years 7 to 12 at the prestigious Goulburn Valley Grammar School in Shepparton. Growing up in a Koori community 180 kilometres

north-east of Melbourne, the odds were against Atkinson making it to graduation.

“[Shepparton] is a small town with not a lot to do,” he says. “If you’re lucky enough to have positive people around you and positive pathways ahead, then you can try to use that to your advantage, but if you’re surrounded by the wrong people, it’s very easy to get caught up in a negative lifestyle.”

Atkinson fell into the former category, encouraged by hardworking

parents and an extended family that impressed upon him the value

of education. Fast-forward 11 years and

Atkinson is devoted to giving

and web design at non-profit communications agency Fraynework Multimedia. It was during that time that Atkinson’s cousin committed suicide, and the tragedy prompted him to join forces with another cousin, Gary Saunders, to create a digital platform to tackle some of the issues facing indigenous youth.

The platform, Indigital Centre, helps indigenous people tell their stories through digital media.

With support from Fraynework and the Sidney Myer Fund, Atkinson and Saunders toured Victoria, drawing on their backgrounds in music and multimedia to engage young people.

“One of the things that stood out to me through the workshops was that many of the kids had too much spare time on their hands and not a lot of positive influences around them because they weren’t going to school,” Atkinson says.

After Indigital’s funding ran out (they recently received more and have plans to start running workshops again), Atkinson worked in Aboriginal housing for two years before taking up the position at VACSAL, where he was encouraged to undertake a qualification in addition to full-time work.

“I wasn’t so interested in going back to uni full-time and not working,” he says. “But really learning the specifics of the area I was working in was very important to me.”

The national rate of indigenous students obtaining their year 12 certificate or equivalent exceeded 50 per cent for the first time in 2012, according to Bureau of Statistics data released in March this year.

Victoria’s rate of year 12 attainment for indigenous students rose by 5 per cent between 2006 and 2011, in the latest report on education by the Council of Australian Governments Reform Council.

But Atkinson says we still have a long way to go in closing the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous students. “In some ways it’s improving and in others we’ve got a lot of work to do,” he says.

“A lot has changed in the mindset of kids [since I finished school]. They see a lot of young people on TV and the internet getting famous from partying, and that’s definitely affected their views on the importance of school.”

Atkinson works with up to 12 students from schools in Melbourne’s north-west at any one time.

“The message that we’re really trying to get across is understanding why you’re staying at school … that outside of learning the basics, you’re also setting yourself up for a workplace environment. That 9 to 3 turns into a 9 to 5.”

He says teachers can have a huge effect on a student’s motivation, and so can parents. “Without that support network, it can feel like a lost cause.”

Atkinson connects with students any way he can. “Whatever the kid is interested in, whether it be art, sport, music, public speaking or multimedia, it’s important to utilise that for a potential future goal.”

Racism, he says, continues to be a factor. “Coming from Goulburn Valley Grammar, it was more an elitist view on racism that I experienced – people looking down on Aboriginal people as being shitkickers. But a lot of Aboriginal students I’m working with are in public school so it’s not about money, it’s more just ignorant attitudes towards people they know nothing about.

“Dad always taught me that at the end of the day you gauge a person from the person they are and not their background. A good person is a good person and a dickhead is a dickhead.”

As Victorian Koori student of the year, Atkinson qualifies for the National Training Awards, to be held in Perth on November 22. But accolades are far from the endgame. “The award was a milestone for me, and I feel like I’m getting places I want to be, but I’m also hopeful this will inspire or encourage some of our other young students to push forward and follow through with their own dreams.” \

Don’t let your attempts to add value to your property become an expensive source of regret – or a safety hazard

ask the experts

There’s always someone who tries to do a DIY home renovation only to botch the job and wish they’d left it to an expert.

Members of Archicentre, the building, design, inspection and advice service of the Australian Institute of Architects, say a lack of planning and skills are the major cause of such incidents.

“The proliferation of TV renovation shows, while good for inspiring ideas, has also lifted the expectations of home owners in their own ability to carry out renovations,” Archicentre spokesman David Hallett says.

“Home renovations – which can need to be pulled down or substantially modified – usually stem from a lack of basic planning at the beginning.”

He says many homeowners or investors undertaking a renovation

project, which on average can cost between $100,000 and $200,000, may have no detailed knowledge of what’s required or the risks involved in not

having a plan to design, cost and manage the project. “This can

lead to costly budget blow-outs and expensive litigation if the project stalls or incorporates major building faults, not to

mention the hazards of illegal building,

including safety concerns.”Hallett says it is

important for renovators to focus on the objective: to add value to their property. “A better result could be expected if home owners were prepared to think like a developer and seek professional help when they have knowledge gaps.” \

“focus on

adding value to your

property”

SOCCERThere will be no National Premier League in Victoria

(NPLV) next season after talks with Football Federation Victoria failed to reach a resolution last week. The FFV announced on Friday that its existing league structure would continue in 2014 with a view to implementing the NPLV in 2015. It means the Victorian Premier League and state leagues will continue next winter. State League 1 Avondale Heights is the highest Moonee Valley club in the existing football pyramid, one division below the top � ight. Representatives for a co-signatory collective of more than 60 member clubs of the FFV had successfully applied to the Magistrates Court for an injunction to prevent the FFV announcing successful NPLV applicants. The FFV board said it was unable to “reach a sustainable agreement” with the co-signatory clubs. The co-signatory collective had taken issue with the NPLV model proposed, including but not limited to issues with divisional structure, club classi� cation, junior player pathways, and commercial and intellectual property rights.

FOOTBALLMontmorency’s Celia Piesse was

named female coach of the year at the AFL Victoria Coaches Association awards on Friday. Other winners were Daniel Donati (Balwyn, seniors), Phillip McIntyre (Cobram, youth), Darrell Maher (Jackson School, Auskick) and David Foley (Deer Park-Caroline Springs, juniors).The ‘umpires coach of the year’ award was shared by Michael O’Keefe, of the Riddell association, and Allan Grant, from Geelong.

BOWLSBundoora RSL � exed its muscles as a Saturday pennant contender by beating reigning premier Moonee Ponds 14-75 to 4-71.The win keeps Bundoora RSL (80 points) close to ladder leader Brighton (83) while opening a gap to third-placed Moonee Ponds and fourth-placed Essendon (both 68).Rinks were split two each on Saturday, but Nick McIntyre’s 22-12 win against Brett Spurr proved the decisive score.Damon Di Florio beat Shane Fordham 20-18, while Moonee Ponds’ Mark Jacobsen won 22-15 against Luke Aiello, and Adam Galloway won 19-18 against Ian Ewing. In division 2, section 2, Broadmeadows was a narrow loser, 14-79 to 4-74, against Sunbury. The loss failed to dislodge Broadmeadows

from top spot on the ladder, though, as its 81 points lead West Coburg (69) with Sunbury third (65).In division 2, section 3, Craigieburn 16-96 comfortably beat Darebin City 2-63. Craigieburn (49 points) sits � fth, still 11 off the � nals pace of Montmorency-2 (62).

Roxburgh Park-Broadmeadows was well placed to claim a weekend win a� er dismissing Sunshine for 124 on Sunday in Sub-District cricket east-west � rst XI.

RPB chased the runs on Sunday a� er the Weekly went to print.

One persistent partnership was enough to push Sunshine into triple � gures on Saturday, but wickets were otherwise cheap and regular for RPB, which won the toss and chose to bowl at Dempster Park.

A 55-run stand for the third wicket got Sunshine to 2-66, but Patrick Matautaava trapping Troy Stone lbw for 32 proved to be a key wicket.

Matautaava took 4-27 as best of the RPB bowlers, while Mitchell Strei� (3-16) and Bryce Preston (2-32) were other multiple wicket-takers.

Go to northernweekly.com.au for an updated score.

In north-south � rst XI, Plenty Valley set Elsternwick a monumental chase even a� er being sent in by the home team at Elsternwick Park.

Sean Ayres struck his second consecutive ton with 123, while Dylan Forster made 118.

A 193-run stand for the second wicket by the centurions put Plenty Valley on track for 3-302, with Lorenzo Ingram’s 42no adding the � nishing touches.

RPB sets up winning chance

bulldogs rush to victoryDIAMOND VALLEY CRICKET ASSOCIATION

Bundoora United was a team in a hurry on Saturday as the Bulldogs bowled out Camrea Taipans in time to claim an outright win in DVCA Money Shield.

� e eight-wicket victory wasn’t enough to put United into the top four, though, its 16 points good enough only for � � h behind Lalor Stars (18).

United resumed its � rst innings on Saturday within 10 runs of claiming � rst-innings points and passed the Taipans’ 90 with six wickets in hand.

Nicholas Curtin (35) and Scott Barnett (29) then pushed Bundoora United to 146, a lead of 66.

Barnett (3-40) and Grant Fraser (4-26) then worked for quick wickets as the Taipans were bowled out for 87 in just 46.4 overs in their second dig.

Barnett then bashed 22 not out to get United the outright win: 2-34 in just 2.4 overs.

Earlier, Malith Gunathilake took 5-58 for the Taipans.

Lalor Stars (9-229) comfortably defended its total made the previous weekend by bowling out Hurstbridge for 113. Jamie Scott did the damage for the Stars with six wickets.

Elsewhere in the division, South Morang (156) fell short chasing Greensborough (223).

In Barclay Shield, Bundoora gained its � rst win of the season at Mernda’s expense.

Defending 259, Bundoora had Mernda out for 136, thanks to 3-38 for Stuart Adams and wickets for four other bowlers.

Epping’s 170 was enough to beat Plenty (153) with John Green (50) and Andrew Villani (54no) top scorers for the Power.

Robert Tinsley (3-28) and Blake Dobbin (3-31) were best bowlers for Epping.

Old Paradians/St Francis (134) didn’t have enough on the board to beat Rosanna, which made 6-135 in reply. Shaun Barker took 3-13 for Old Paradians-St Francis, but Rosanna reached the target by the 60th over. \

outright win

PREMIER CRICKET

Daniel Salpietro’s summer of runs went to a new level on Saturday as his unbeaten 152 led Greenvale to a draw against Hawthorn-Monash Uni.

Salpietro and James Lidgett (55no) shared a 212-run stand to rescue Greenvale from a wobbly start and ensure a share of the points in the two-dayer at Greenvale Reserve.

HMU posted 8-308 batting � rst the previous weekend, with stumps called a� er 56 overs on Saturday and Greenvale 2-221 in reply.

Salpietro and Victorian under-19 representative Lidgett came to the rescue a� er HMU made early inroads by taking 2-9.

Salpietro now has accumulated 361 runs in six trips to the crease this season and is averaging 90.25.

Batsmen reigned supreme at Windy Hill as Essendon answered Dandenong’s imposing total with a big run chase.

Four half centuries in the top order did the job as Essendon bested Dandenong’s 8-293 by making 3-296 in reply.

Aaron Shellie (55) ignited the chase early

before his departure at 1-67 bought Aaron Ayre (83) to the crease to join Ben MacRae (63) in a 103-run stand for the second wicket.

Ayre and Solomon Mire (74no) kept the runs coming before James Seymour (11no) joined Mire to help steer the Bombers past the victory target.

Such was Essendon’s pace in the chase, the Bombers were home with 12.3 overs to spare.

Another round of two-day games starts this Saturday, with Greenvale away at Melbourne Uni, while Essendon is away at Camberwell. \
