Station a ‘no go zone’ at nightBY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM

BRIMBANK commuters arekeeping away from Sunshinerailway station at night and sometraders are shutting up earlyto avoid antisocial behaviourplaguing the area.

Crime statistics released lastweek revealed the number ofrobberies reported in Brimbankdecreased by 20 per cent, butassaults rose 15.3 per cent.

There were 1656 assaults fromJuly 2011-June 2012, comparedwith 1436 the year before. Totalcrime in Brimbank increased by6 per cent. There were 391,325crimes reported, up from 361,611in the previous financial year.

Sunshine’s Acting InspectorChris Gilbert said more than50 per cent of assaults could beattributed to family violence. Therest were largely linked to robber-ies or assaults at transport hubs.

Deshi Hut grocer MohammadReza called for daily police patrolsat Sunshine station.

He said violence and antisocialbehaviour in the area meant heclosed the doors of his HampshireRoad shop before 8pm.

‘‘There is no way I would stayopen any later — it’s just notsafe,’’ he said. ‘‘There are youngmen standing in groups fightingeach other and asking people formoney. I’ve seen them push peopleand demand money . . . it’s notgood for business.’’

Mr Reza said he had noticed anincrease in antisocial behaviour.

‘‘It’s not getting better, that’s forsure . . . this happens every week,particularly on weekends; thereare more and more young men.’’

Crave Convenience Store pro-

prietor Simran Kaur said shedeliberately closed before 6pm.‘‘We don’t get nice customerscoming in after dark.’’

She said she used to catch thetrain to work, but the bus wasnow a safer option. ‘‘I wouldn’tfeel safe using the underpassat night.’’

A council survey last yearrevealed one in six residents citedsafety and crime as the city’sbiggest problem.

St Albans Traders Associationsecretary Asip Demiri believed thebiggest danger for residents was

secluded laneways. ‘‘I’ve seenwomen get the bags snatched outof their hands and be attacked inbroad daylight,’’ he said.

‘‘It’s extremely daunting . . . itdoesn’t matter if it’s day or night— laneways where there isnobody around are best avoided.’’

Acting Inspector Gilbert saidpolice were determined to reduceantisocial behaviour aroundtransport hubs and urged tradersto keep laneways clear and visible.

He said police operations hadfocused on St Albans station andcentral business district. Police

will this month patrol Sunshinestation and along the Sydenhamline to Watergardens.

‘‘The addition of 23 new policeofficers in the area will mean wehave more dedicated officers forthis taskforce.

‘‘We’ve already seen a consider-able change in the environment atSt Albans station and surroundingstreets with less antisocial beha-viour and traders telling us theyfeel safer.’’

He said there would begreater police presence at Sun-shine station at day and night.

Tracee Robertson, West Sunshine:I prefer the bus to the train. I don’tthink it’s safe walking through theunderpass, to be honest. I would nevereven consider using the public toilets.One time I opened the door and thesink was full of syringes.

Alana Rae, Deer Park:My friends are all afraid to useSunshine station and they go toFootscray instead, but I reckonSunshine is way safer. I’ve caught thelast bus home a few times in the darkand I’ve never had an issue.

Dave Kerrs, Newport:I come here only once a week to visitrelatives and that’s enough for me. It’ssafe enough during the day but Iwouldn’t be game to walk around hereat night.

The Weekly asked commuters how safe they felt at Sunshine station

Teachers pencilin another strikeNORTH-west teachers havevowed to continue industrialaction until working conditionsare improved.

Dozens of schools acrossMelbourne’s west were shut lastWednesday as more than 40,000teachers marched to StateParliament.

Those closed included SunshineNorth, Kings Park and SunshineHeights primary schools. Classeswere affected at Lakeview Collegein Caroline Springs.

The strike was led by the Aus-tralian Education Union to protestat the state government’s offer of a2.5 per cent annual pay increase.

The union wants a 30 per centpay rise over three years, a 50 percent reduction in the number ofteachers on short-term contractsand maximum class sizes of 20.Members also oppose theintroduction of performance-based pay.

Sunshine North Primary prin-cipal Ken Ryan said all 28 teachersat the school went on strike.

He said teachers wanted tocorrect misconceptions abouttheir workloads.

‘‘A lot of people have thebelief that teachers don’t workduring their holidays or outside ofschool hours.

‘‘I can say there are teacherswho are involved in an array ofoutside programs that enrichesstudents’ learning, which is espe-cially important out here in thewestern suburbs.’’

Sunshine North Primary grade3-4 teacher Robyn Pope saidteachers would take more actionnext term.

‘‘We will continue industrialaction until our voices are heard,’’she said.

‘‘The work teachers do hasbecome undervalued and lost thecommunity’s respect. It’s almostlike people have forgotten whatwork we do.’’

Ms Pope said industrial actionwould be spaced out across thestate to cause minimal disruptionto students and parents.

Lakeview College year 10 co-ordinator Marino D’Ortenzio saidmore than half the teachers at theschool attended the rally.Although the school wasn’tclosed, three-quarters of studentswere told not to attend.

He said his biggest concern wascuts to TAFE funding, whichmeant the Victorian Certificate ofApplied Learning was out of reachfor many students.

Higher Education MinisterPeter Hall said demands for a30 per cent pay rise were out oftouch with community standards.

Mr Hall defended the gov-ernment’s proposal to rewardteachers based on individualperformance.

‘‘We need a system wheretalented teachers with new ideasand energy are encouraged, recog-nised and rewarded, not pushedinto a one-size-fits-all and timeserved mentality.’’

Ms Pope said performance-based pay would create a dividedwork environment.

‘‘Teachers need to work as ateam and share ideas to create thebest possible learning environ-ment for children.’’

Late Friday Mr Jaboor said it was adifficult decision to move on afteralmost nine years in Hobsons Bay.

“I will leave Hobsons Bay with manyfond memories, and immense personaland professional pride in the achieve-ments of the council during my timehere,’’ he said.

‘‘Brimbank is a large and diversemulticultural community. I welcomethe opportunities that this position willpresent, including the rare chance tomanage the transition back to electedcouncillors in 2015.’’

Brimbank Council could not bereached for comment.

In a quandary over kilojoules

Better way: Cheryl Steele explains healthy food choices to patient Ken Millington. Picture: Michael Copp

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM

BRIMBANK health experts are divided overwhether fast-food labelling is the answer to thearea’s diabetes epidemic.

Western suburbs Labor MP Wade Noonanhas called on the state government to implementmandatory nutritional food labelling on all fast-food products.

Mr Noonan told Parliament that while manyoutlets had adopted kilojoule labelling, theinformation remained unclear.

‘‘How can anyone tell what is a healthy kilo-joule intake if there is no information availablefor consumers to benchmark against?

‘‘Victoria needs legislation like New SouthWales. Businesses in NSW, such as major fastfood, bakery, coffee and doughnut chains with20 or more stores, are required to clearly andlegibly place the kilojoule content on their menuboards and prominently feature the averageadult daily intake of 8700 kilojoules.’’

The rate of people with diabetes in Brimbankcontinues to soar, rising 212.5 per cent between2001 and 2011. Diabetes Australia-Victoria fig-ures show Brimbank is Melbourne’s diabeteshot spot, with 11,793 residents living with thecondition. About 15 new cases are diagnosed inthe area each week.

Western Health clinical nurse and diabeteseducation manager, Cheryl Steele, said the ideawas positive in principle but an awareness cam-paign was also needed.

‘‘Just having the number of calories on apacket won’t reach people,’’ she said.

‘‘If this was to be implemented there wouldneed to be education programs that could teachpeople, particularly migrants, the importance ofthe food labelling. Highlighting the amount offat and how much damage it actually does to theheart vessels and the rest of the body would bevery eye-opening for people.’’

Ms Steele said the community was fighting alosing battle with obesity. ‘‘We need to startwith children, educating them on healthy eat-ing, making healthy food accessible to them,encourage exercise and aim for the next genera-tion to be healthier and more aware.’’

She encouraged residents struggling withtheir weight to contact their community healthcentre or general practitioner.

Altona resident Ken Millington, who wasdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes last week, saidhe didn’t look at food labelling closely before,but he would now monitor his diet more closely.

‘‘I think labelling could not only have thepotential to prevent the disease but also be use-ful for people who already have diabetes and aretrying to manage it.’’

Cecilia Gomez-Benitez, the head of Brim-bank’s culturally and linguistically diverse dia-

betes prevention program, said migrants oftenstruggled to adapt to a change in lifestyle anddiet.‘‘We teach them about food labelling insupermarkets, educate them about Australianfood and the importance of having a balanceddiet. We also host cooking and exercise classesfor migrants.’’

Keilor Labor MP Natalie Hutchins welcomedMr Noonan’s proposal but said it would need tobe combined with education. ‘‘Critics may sayit’s creating a nanny state, but at the end of theday people will make their own choice on thefood they consume.’’

Connection builds trustBY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM

Mentor program: Domenic Maitian and Girma Seid. Picture: Scott McNaughton

A SUNSHINE multicultural centre isreconnecting disengaged Africanyouth with their communities.

The Centre for MulticulturalYouth’s Young African Men’s Project(YAMP) aims to strengthen relation-ships between young African men,police and wider society.

YAMP project officer Girma Seidsaid the program taught participantsabout life skills and drug and alcoholservices in the area and improved theirdealings with police.

As reported by the Weekly, policelast month released data showingSomali and Sudanese-born Victoriansare five times more likely to commitoffences than the broader population,while a 2010 Victoria Universitysurvey of Sudanese and PacificIslander teens found they lacked trustand confidence in police.

Mr Seid said his team ventured toareas with significant African popula-tion, such as Sunshine, St Albans,Footscray and Flemington, to connect

with young men. ‘‘We build up trust bygoing out to where they are and justtalking with them,’’ he said.

‘‘A lot of these boys they don’t trustanybody, they are vulnerable, they feelisolated . . . they don’t even know thatthere are support services for them.’’

Earlier this month, the centre hosteda camp in Kinglake for more than 20African young men from the west.Youth workers and Footscray policeofficers also attended. It was the thirdcamp since 2009 and sought to easetension between African youth andpolice.

Sudanese refugee Zac, 20, who didnot want his surname published, saidAfrican youth faced many obstaclessettling into life in Australia.

After coming to Australia 10 yearsago and spending six months inEnglish classes, Zac was enrolled intoa school in St Albans. He said hemoved schools about six times beforehe was expelled in year 9.

‘‘It wasn’t that I didn’t want tolearn, it was just that I was so farbehind all the other students who were

born in Australia and no matter howhard I tried I could never catch up,’’ hesaid.

Zac turned to alcohol and drugs,congregating with his friends in parksduring school hours.

‘‘We all connect with each otherbecause we all feel the same . . . wehave come from same place and we arestruggling to fit in. It’s a escape fromreality and the rejection we feel. Butpeople see us and because of the colourof our skin we are labelled as a gang,as troublemakers.’’

Camp leader Domenic Maitian, 24,said recent profiling of Sudanese andSomalian-born residents furthermarginalised African youth.

‘‘The majority are being heldaccountable for the minority,’’ he said.

‘‘For African youth like Zac andothers involved in projects engagingyouth through employment and edu-cation, this is just another rejection.’’

Mr Maitian called for more educa-tional support for African refugees.

Council nod forstore extensionBY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM

A CONTENTIOUS planning permitto extend a hardware outlet in NorthSunshine has been approved byBrimbank Council.

Administrators last week approvedBunnings Warehouse’s application,which will involve the relocation of alarge nursery area and the creation ofloading zone at the rear of the BallaratRoad store.

Residents from nearby PhoenixAvenue objected to the proposal,arguing access to the loading areawould be opposite a house.

They said the extension wouldincrease traffic flow in their street andcreate more noise.

Sunshine North resident PhillipAzzopardi told last week’s councilmeeting the warehouse’s new drive-way would be directly opposite hismother’s house.

‘‘I’m concerned about the safety ofmy mother entering and exiting herown home,’’ he said.

‘‘I want to see the driveway movedaway from the front of her home, or aservice lane located next to the loadingarea instead.’’

Mr Azzopardi said people werealready using Bunnings Warehouse asa shortcut to Ballarat Road.

Frank Spiteri, who has lived in thestreet for 30 years, wanted cars to beprevented from turning right into thestreet.

Council’s city planning managerKristen Gilbert said only deliverytrucks would be allowed to enter viathe rear loading area. Ms Gilbert saidthe council had sought advice fromtraffic engineers to ensure the safety ofresidents and that Bunnings hadagreed to ‘‘stringent’’ conditions,including shutting gates after 9pm andkeeping the site clean and tidy.

Final year Victoria University arts student Elleah Nicholls and grade 1 St Albans Primary School pupil Brooklyn (pictured)

have been getting creative, helping to paint a massive mural for the school. The mural is part of a project being conducted

by VU students who wanted to raise the profile of arts education in the west. Organiser Joy Soundias said the assessment

project was a way to give something back to the community. ‘‘We wanted our assessment to raise the profile of something

that was important in the west. We feel that arts education is something that is lacking in local schools and wanted to

highlight the benefit and self expression it can give young students,’’ she said.

Sunshine Hospital physiotherapist

Tammy Dinh and patient Russell Kay-

Hards (pictured) changed up their

regular physiotherapy session with a

Nintendo Wii game. The activity was

part of World Physiotherapy Day

celebrations at the hospital last

Wednesday. After suffering a stroke in

May, Mr Kay-Hards couldn’t speak,

walk, swallow or move the right side

of his body. But the Wyndham Vale

resident, 38, has progressed in leaps

and bounds in the past three months

and says he won’t stop until he’s back

to his old self. ‘‘I see improvements in

myself every week. My long-term goal

is to be riding my bike, surfing and

running again. The physiotherapy at

the hospital has been great because a

lot of my upper body wasn’t

functioning properly, so I’ve been

working on those muscles and

regaining my balance.’’

Support builds forwest-end road linkBY NICK TOSCANO

POLITICAL pressure for construction of theeast-west road link to begin in the west ismounting on both sides of State Parliament.

Western Metropolitan Liberal MP AndrewElsbury has called on Roads Minister TerryMulder to consider the region’s criticaltransport needs, spruiking the case for work onthe 18-kilometre connection to start from thewest end. Once constructed, the road willjoin the Eastern Freeway, CityLink and theWestern Ring Road.

In Parliament, Mr Mulder dodged Opposi-tion questions seeking a response to hiscolleague’s calls. But he told the Weekly thegovernment had not decided which stage wouldbe built first.

He said the matter would be considered earlynext year once the outcome of the state’s bid for$30 million in federal funding was known.

‘‘The east-west link is a massive project andwe need to make sure we consider the fullproject cost and its strategic impact on the road

network, as well as considering how it might bedelivered,’’ he said.

‘‘Andrew Elsbury can see the benefits ofconstruction to his constituents in the west, andis right to advocate for it to start as soon aspossible.’’

With planning for the western stage alreadyfinalised, Mr Elsbury said the west had themanpower to kickstart tunnelling works.‘‘Manufacturers and engineering companiesare sitting at our end of the tunnel. We’ve gotthe industry, we’ve got the workforce. Let’sutilise them.’’

The western stage of the works wouldinclude a tunnel joining Dynon Road andFootscray Road in the Port of Melbourne pre-cinct with Paramount Road in West Footscray.A surface road would connect Paramount Roadand the Western Ring Road in Sunshine.

Tarneit Labor MP Tim Pallas backed the callsbut believed the government wanted to startwith the eastern end. ‘‘If they were serious aboutthe west link, why haven’t they started yet whenall planning and alignment is ready to go?’’

It has been more than a decade in the waiting but students at the Western English Language School

finally have a new gymnasium. The Braybrook school didn’t hesitate in deciding how to use the

$932,500 windfall from the federal government’s $16billion Building the Education Revolution

program. School principal Yolette DeZilwa said she was thrilled students now had a facility for physical

education and sporting classes. “There was no way we could have raised the funding to allow us to

build a gym,” she said. Visiting the new gym, Gellibrand MP Nicola Roxon (pictured with students

Amina and Duhl Lian) said projects such as gyms, libraries and science labs were improving the

learning environment for children.

Highlighting the ‘beautiful side of Africa’

Positive influence: Elleni Bereded-Samuel has received national recognition. Picture: Darren Howe

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM

A CULTURAL leader has been awardedfor her contribution to the African com-munity in the west.

Victoria University Ethiopian migrantand community engagement adviser El-leni Bereded-Samuel was last monthnamed one of Australia’s 100 most-influential Africans by the Celebration ofAfrican Australians.

The awards showcased the contribu-tion of African Australians to the coun-try’s growth and prosperity.

Ms Bereded-Samuel says she was hon-oured to be recognised alongside doctors,musicians, educators and other leaders.“It is very humbling to be recognised forwork that I love doing,’’ she says.

Sunshine lawyer Kot Monoah was alsohonoured at the awards. The 30-year-old,who was born in southern Sudan and nowlives in Wyndham Vale, received theoutstanding young leader award.

Ms Bereded-Samuel, who moved toAustralia 16 years ago, has established aprogram that encourages VU educationstudents to complete work placements

with African communities in Brimbank,Kensington, Flemington, Melton andWyndham. ‘‘The aim is to help teach thesefuture teachers about the complexities ofAfrican students so they have a betterunderstanding of how to interact withthem when they begin working in thewestern suburbs.’’

In July, she launched a landmarkresearch project that will document theexperiences of western suburbs residentsfrom Ethiopia. Ms Bereded-Samuel saidthere were about 4000 Ethiopians livingin Brimbank, Maribyrnong and Wynd-ham and hundreds more in Flemington.

She told the Weekly it was refreshing tofocus on the ‘‘beautiful side of Africa’’.

‘‘Too often people are hearing about thebad side of Africa through the media . . .the starvation politics and bad manage-ment of the nation. But there are highachieving and intelligent ambassadors forthe Africa living in Australia doing thingsto slowly change people’s perceptions.’’

Ms Bereded-Samuel was one of 40leaders selected as a ‘People of Australia’ambassador by Prime Minister Julia Gil-lard earlier this year.

NEWSAT YOUR FINGERTIPS


WHEN Ian Warren was young, he used to tell people at parties that he worked for Telecom.

It was the only way the 52-year-old embalmer could escape being cornered and drilled with bizarre questions about his profession for the rest of the night.

‘‘I used to come unstuck sometimes because people would say, ‘Oohh, actually, my phone’s not working’ and ask me for help,’’ he says with a chuckle.

For more than 30 years, Warren, who works at Nelson Bros Funeral Services in Footscray, has doubled as an embalmer and funeral director.

In those years there have been profound changes in the way Australians deal with

death and bereavement. ‘‘The funeral industry is changing,’’ he says. ‘‘Baby boomers are calling for a more individual-style funeral. More funerals are taking place in personalised venues, at home or outdoors in parks — even at the person’s favourite watering hole.

‘‘It’s becoming a celebratory service of the person’s life with formal and informal sections.’’

While Warren sees his two roles as being one, he thrives on embalming.

‘‘To me, embalming is the more meaningful part of the job. You are really using your creativity. It’s a balance between a science and an art.’’

A lot of the time family aren’t with a person when they die, so Warren’s role entails

preparing the deceased for their family to farewell.

‘‘We do a detailed analysis of the person, trying to get as much information as possible about cause of death, their age and the time we have left before the funeral service. Then we disinfect the body, set the person’s facial features and begin the embalming process.’’

Embalming is done for three reasons: to temporarily preserve the body, to disinfect it and give the deceased a more natural appearance.

‘‘Some families are very defi nite about what they want to do,’’ he says. ‘‘They may want to apply the make-up or dress the deceased because it’s the last thing they can do for their loved one.

‘‘Some will want to view their loved one, while others may not. If they choose not to, we might encourage them to reconsider because viewing is known to help with the grieving and healing process by giving the individual a sense of closure.’’

The last element is dressing the person.‘‘We’ve had burial clothing requests that have

been anything from fancy dress to something they wore 20 years ago.

‘‘Wedding dresses are also popular and some women to their credit can still fi t into their dress. Other times it can prove a bit more diffi cult to get the dress to fi t. Some people have even asked to have a second doctor come in and certify they are dead because they have a fear of their loved one being buried alive.’’

Sent off with careBaby-boomers want more ‘personalised’ funerals, at home or in a park. Embalmers’ training has changed, too. But grave-digging is still about getting ‘down and dirty’. Melissa Cunningham has been delving in an industry that assuredly will never die. Carmello Falzone. Picture: Darren Howe


The strangest request he’s ever had remains a man whose dying wish was to be buried in a circus clown suit.

In the time Warren has been in the industry the training to become an embalmer has changed.

‘‘There are more training options available today,’’ he says. ‘‘There have also been breakthroughs in embalming fl uids and there’s more knowledge about how to deal with diffi cult cases. But you really have to take each case as it comes and on its own merit.’’

His desire to help others drew him to the role.

‘‘I wanted to help people through the hardest times of their life. If you can help them, make that time a little easier for them, then it’s worthwhile. [Death] is a as much a part of life as anything else.

‘‘To do this job, I guess in the back of your mind you do have that false perception that it’s not going to happen to you.’’

Funeral director at Tobin Brothers Funerals Cathy Tobin says the funeral industry is embracing change as the emphasis slowly shifts from death to a life lived.

‘‘We’re seeing funerals become more informal, more celebratory and a move away from traditional funerals in churches.”

Rather than being a sombre and stoic event, she says the ‘‘dying and their loved ones are celebrating a life lived in a more personalised way’’.

The funeral industry is embedded in Tobin’s veins. Her fi rst memory of the industry goes back almost 50 years. She was four and clutching the hand of her grandfather Leo, one of the founding brothers of the now iconic Tobin Brothers name.

‘‘For some reason, I had gone to work with him that day and he opened the door and there was this man just lying there peacefully in his coffi n. After all these years, I still remember it vividly.’’

Death and grief are part of the working day for the 53-year-old Strathmore resident, who joined the family business more than a decade ago.

‘‘You don’t always see that raw grief but I suppose as humans we do a very good job at covering it up,’’ she says. ‘‘You can feel it. Sometimes you can nearly touch it ... it’s just there fi lling up the room. When I am with a family initially I just sit there, watch their body language then ask what they would like me to do.

‘‘A lot of times they don’t know what to do, but that’s why we’re there, to advise and help them make an informed decision.’’

She takes on the responsibility of the service and ensures everything runs as the family requested.

Songs like Time To Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli and Ave Maria are still favourites, but Tobin says there has been a move towards contemporary music and revamped versions of traditional songs like Anthony Callea’s rendition of The Prayer.

While she has heard of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead and Another One Bites the Dust by Queen being played, it hasn’t been at any of the of the funerals she has planned yet.

Empathy and compassion are an integral part of the job.

‘‘I think in a way if you weren’t emotional at all then you need to step back a bit,’’ she says. ‘‘This isn’t just a job. If you don’t have that emotion or feel for that family in some way you need to reconsider what you are doing. But after that funeral is over you need to let it go because if we didn’t we would be carrying so much with us and we need to be able to offer the next family we meet the same service.’’

After the funeral it’s on to fi nding that perfect patch of land.

A piece of the earth where the person will rest peacefully for eternity.

Carmello Falzone has been a grave digger and maintenance worker at the Keilor cemetery for 10 years.

Falzone says he sees his role as doing the ‘‘last special job’’ you can for someone.

‘‘People love it when I tell them what I do,’’ he chuckles. ‘‘They say to me they’ve never met anyone who’s a grave digger before.

‘‘First question they ask is if I have ever seen a ghost. I’ll always tell a few stories to amuse them. But I haven’t seen a ghost yet.’’

He says his role of maintaining the gardens, digging graves and positioning coffi ns in the ground hasn’t changed much in the past decade, but the tombstones around him continue to evolve.

‘‘They’re becoming a lot more extravagant, more detailed and elaborate. People are becoming more particular about what they would like to have above them when they die and they are planning where they want their body buried before they die.’’

While he’s used to being faced with death every day, there are some deaths that still hurt.

‘‘I fi nd it very hard to do the burial of a baby because that’s just not right,’’ he says. ‘‘Or when a person has died and there’s nobody at their funeral except the funeral directors and staff from the cemetery; that can be really heartbreaking.’’

But most days the 45-year-old loves his job and the appreciation it makes him have for his own life.

‘‘I’ve changed my views after working here,’’ he says. ‘‘People I talk to say how they are paying off their third house, or they’ve just brought another car. At the end of the day, you aren’t going to bring it with you.

‘‘I’ve realised you have to take in all life’s special moments and appreciate the relationships you have with people more than what you own. It’s just life, isn’t? We’re all born and raised and eventually we all pass away and when we die there’s a new baby born into the world that replaces us.’’ Ian Warren. Picture: Marco De Luca

A writer’s point of viewAuthor talks about growing up in the suburbs, writes Melissa Cunningham

Author Alice Pung says growing up as one ofthe first Asian schoolgirls in Braybrook wassurreal.

‘‘My Chinese-Cambodian family was part ofthe first wave of Asian immigration in the westernsuburbs and it was a very special time to growup,’’ she recalls.

‘‘The government had just removed its WhiteAustralia Policy and I saw the change in culturespeople moving to the area grow around me.

‘‘By the time I went to university I didn’t realisethere was such a thing as a white Australia. Ithought every area in Melbourne was as rich incultural diversity as the western suburbs.’’

The award-winning author of Her Father’sDaughter and editor of the short story collectionGrowing Up Asian divides her time between beingbetween being a writer, lawyer and teacher.

As a teenager Pung (pictured) always had herhead in a book and says her greatest inspirationwas author John Marsden.

‘‘I loved his writing because he never shied awayfrom the complexities of growing up.’’

Pung says by reading the works of others she

learnt her own voice and the importance of givingher own ‘‘heartbeat’’ to a story.

The title of her best-selling book UnpolishedGem was derived from a Chinese-Cambodianproverb: ‘A girl is like cotton wool — once she’sdirtied, she can never be clean again. A boy is likea gem — the more you polish it, the brighter itshines.’

Pung’s advice for aspiring writers is simple.‘‘Just do it. Never think of yourself as a propernoun, a ‘writer’, but a verb. Just write. That wayyou are there for the experience of writing and notthe title attached to being a writer.

‘‘Young people are always frightened to write,but a lot of the time they have the most interestingstories to tell.’’

Pung will host a workshop for migrants as partof the Brimbank Writers Festival. Focusing on thecontributions of migrants to Australian literature,it runs from 6.30-7.30pm on September 18.

The festival continues until September 28.Full details: brimbank.vic.gov.au/writersfestival.

Illusions of grandeur

Magic medicine: Illusionist Ben Murphy will perform at the Clocktower next month. Picture: Scott McNaughton

Illusionist Ben Murphy finds his great escape, writes Melissa Cunningham

After spending much of the first four years ofhis life in hospital, Ben Murphy realised ata young age that laughter really is the best

medicine.Diagnosed with middle ear problems and

pneumonia, the Kings Park resident says clowndoctors at the Royal Children’s Hospital were hisonly escape from reality.

He began to observe their craft and the waythey made the children around him happy.

‘‘I realised at a young age that I loved to seepeople laugh,’’ he says.

‘‘I began doing my own tricks from my bed toentertain the nurses. Seeing people laugh at memade me laugh too.’’

From his bed he moved to the park, where hewould host magic shows and busk for passer-bys.

‘‘My parents and I would put up a sign saying‘magic show in 15 minutes’ then they would beoff hiding somewhere,’’ he laughs.

‘‘Like a true professional I would hold out myhat at the end of the show.’’

Murphy has since made a living out perform-

ing as magician and illusionist for audiencesacross the world.

The 28-year-old has performed more than 300sold-out shows in America and in front of theking of Malaysia. He’s also broken the worldrecord for the most escapes from a Chinese watertorture cell.

Murphy says that while many magicians try tofool their audience, he prefers to bring out theirinner child. ‘‘I love to have fun with the audience,get them involved in the show . . . we all know it’sa trick. But I love taking people back to the firsttime they ever saw magic, to the first time theyever laughed.’’

We love it!With four boys Joshua 7, Mitchell 6, Blake 4 and William 1, Gymbaroo has been a weekly event

for most of the last 7 years. We love going to Gymbaroo because it’s so rewarding to have

special one on one time with our children. We have watched as Gymbaroo has built confi dence, improved coordination and challenged them to climb safely. The favourite part for all of them has always been using the shakers, it brings delight to their eyes! We recommend it for every young child as the main weekly activity.

Sensei Reese Heycock knows that withconfidence you can achieve almost anything.She hopes this determination is something her

martial arts students will bring to their upcomingtournaments.

The north-west teacher’s pupils are well on theirway after performing well in July’s regional titles.

They’re now preparing to conquer this month’sstate titles in Dandenong before next year’s Go-Kan-Ryu Karate World Cup in Sydney.

More than 20 of Heycock’s students from acrossthe western suburbs competed in the regionals andshe says she’s proud of their efforts, with many ofthem bringing home medals.

Melton mother Amanda Revell says she’s thrilledwith the development of her daughters, Rochelle,13 and Teneal, 9.

She’s promised to take them to Go-Kan-RyuWorld Cup next year if they keep up their dedica-tion to training. ‘‘We’re so very proud of themboth. . .Rochelle got two gold medals and Tenealwalked away with a bronze.’’

In addition to training students privately,Heycock works with western suburbs schools toencourage children to learn martial arts andcombat bullying through discipline and self-control. She’s studied martial arts since she was

nine and credits her confidence to the ancientpractice. ‘‘Through the knowledge of martial arts,it creates confidence and personally it has helpedme achieve many things in my life.

‘‘I love being able to see change for the better inmy students. When you walk into the class,

you are a champion, no matter what,’’ she says.According to Heycock, martial arts had greatly

helped a student who had lost their parent.‘‘They were very, very shy and since learning,

they have opened up. It’s great to see that. It’s why Ilove it so much.’’ — Andria Cozza

Wired for soundAt last, a television that sounds as good as it looks, writes Rod Easdown

It’s a weird thing that so few electronicscompanies market a complete home cinemapackage. Lots of them make screens and

sound systems, but when it comes to packagingthe two together, they mostly leave that to theirdealers.

Maybe it’s because when packaged soundsystems started to become a genuine marketingproposition — and I reckon that happened whenSony introduced the DAVS300 at $1499 in 2000— we all had cathode ray tube televisionsbecause flat panel plasmas were still the stuff ofdreams. Back then, they were nudging $20,000.

Ever since, sound and vision have continued todevelop separately, to be bought in separatepackages and put together at home by the buyer.

Well, Bose may have just changed all that. Ithas two televisions, a 117cm and a 140cm, withsound built in. Now we’re not talking the regularcouple of minuscule speakers at the bottom ofthe panel that rattle around like tinny old soupcans. Embedded in the back of the television aresix bass drivers using the same waveguide

technology that delivers such rich, crisp bass inthe brand’s Wave Radio.

And there are 10 additional higher rangedrivers that shoot the sound in a number ofdirections so that, as it bounces off walls andceilings around the room, it gives the impressionof surround sound. This idea is not new; Yamahamade it mainstream tech seven years ago with itsfirst soundbar, the $2500 YSP1, and whileit’s still nowhere near as good as the realthing, it works better these days thanks to cleverelectronics.

With the Bose you put on a headset with abuilt-in microphone and take your seat, and thesystem calibrates the speakers to get the correctsound at that point, whatever the shape of theroom may be. It’s all done in minutes and, if youchange the position of the television you just runit through the routine once more.

Despite the generous sound you’re hearing, allyou see is a television and a small console belowit, into which can be plugged your Blu-ray orDVD player, satellite box, games console or

whatever. And there’s only one cable runningbetween this console and the screen.

The speaker array behind the screen meansthat the screen’s cabinet is not the slimmest in thegame, but it is slim enough to be wall-mountedwith minimal intrusion into the room.

The odd thing is that these televisions have notuner, so you’ll need a set-top box or a videorecorder.

The system is controlled by a simple remotethat can be touch-memorised in no time, and itoperates through radio frequency rather thatinfra-red. This means your equipment can bekept inside a cabinet and the remote will stilloperate, and it doesn’t have to be pointed at theequipment to work.

For the package, you pay $6999 for the 117cmand $1000 more for the 140cm.


Where you’d rather be

ILHA GRANDE, BRAZILGetting there: Fly to Rio or Sao Paulo,

catch a bus to Angra dos Reis city then

a catamaran to the island.

Accommodation: Pousada Mata

Nativa, Rua de Flores, 44 Vila do

Abraao, Ilha Grande.

More details: ilhagrande.com.ar.

As its name suggests, Ilha Grande is big —in more ways than one, writes Rebecca Miller

Portuguese for ‘big island’, IlhaGrande is like a South Americanversion of the Whitsundays, but

with a cultural twist.It’s accessible only by boat — either

a 45-minute catamaran ride (which Iwas supposed to be on had it notbroken down) or a 11⁄2 hour journey inan old brightly coloured wooden boat.

I shared the latter with tourists andlocals bringing meat (leaking bloodover the boats floor) and producefrom the mainland of Angra dos Reis.However, this failed to spoil the idyllicviews of the crystal clear bay and theBrazilian eye candy, in the form of twochocolate-skinned boat captains. Andso the cultural experience began.

The 10-minute walk to the hotel, ahut complete with hammock, wasmade easier with the help of a localman happy to carry my luggage for asmall tip.

While admittedly I spent manyhours reading in the hammock duringmy time on Ilha Grande, for the adven-turous the island has more than 100beaches and plenty of activities fromboat cruises to hikes, cave diving andbathing under waterfalls.

The island wasn’t always a touristdestination. It once served as a route tothe slave trade and until 1994, housedan operating jail.

Along with the beautiful surroundsand friendly locals, the oasis also hadsome cheap but tasty food. Brazilianbuffets were a hit and it was hard topass up a delicious slice of cake fromthe roaming night stalls.

To top it all off, the weather wasperfect. Depending on the season, youcan expect 18- 28 degrees — a niceescape from Melbourne’s coolerweather. Another perk of the island isthere are virtually no cars, which helps

create a quiet and pollution-freeenvironment. The English-Portugueselanguage barrier varies dependingwhere you visit (accommodation,eateries, shops). Some locals speakEnglish while others don’t, so a quicklesson in Portuguese before you arrivecould make life easier.

Exchanging money before arrivingon the island is advised.

This is a great, unique destinationfor travellers who want tosurround themselves with picturesquescenery.

Homely at the pub

Grub’s up: While the nights are still chilly take advantage of the cosy country pub atmosphere created bymanager Peter Stephenson.

Former UK resident Peter Stephenson feelsright at home as new owner of TheGamekeepers Secret Inn, an English-style

country pub in Rockbank.He says it has many similarities to a country

pub in his home country.‘‘With its polished timber bar, crackling fire,

country artefacts and cosy booths, the inn reallyis a slice of old England,’’ Mr Stephenson says.

‘‘Even the food has the feel of country comfort.They say an Englishman’s home is his castle andmy team and I certainly soak up the ‘homey’atmosphere — as do our visitors.’’

Mr Stephenson arrived from Liverpool about25 years ago, met and married an Aussie girl andgot loads of hospitality experience under his belt.

His impressive credentials include managingthe Essendon Football Club Social Club, MooneeValley Racing Club gaming complex and the400-seat Campari Restaurant on Station Pier. Hewas also hospitality operations manager for theWestern Bulldogs.

In his two months at the helm, Mr Stephensonhas seen no need to reinvent the wheel, saying theinn is still in the business of delivering top-notchaffordable pub grub and an enviable entertain-

ment line-up. The menu focuses on old favour-ites, with slow oven-roasted lamb shanks withfluffy mash, house-cooked corned beef withcreamy seeded mustard sauce, and a beef andGuinness pie rubbing shoulders with baconmash.

Top-quality steaks done to a turn, tapas shareplates and a good seafood selection spice up thetable while comforting cakes and desserts,including more-English-than-the-Queen Devon-shire teas, make for a sweet finish, with coffee.

A well-balanced wine list showcases localwines from the neighbouring Witchmont Wineryand the Galli Winery up the road along with aselection from family winemaker Angoves.

There is also a new early bird menu availableon Fridays and Saturdays between 5pm and 6pm.Children are also well-catered for with mealsonly $7.

Upcoming entertainment includes these red-letter events:■ September 7: Back to the 70s and 80s (fullybooked).■ October 19: Roy and the Legends■ November 23: Neil Diamond■ Christmas lunch and dinner (be quick)

The inn has the required ingredients for anyfunction, from a birthday party to a corporateevent. It’s the kind of pub everyone wants as theirlocal; one that strikes the right note for a relaxednight out, including live music each Friday andSaturday evening, a leisurely lunch or a drop-in

for coffee and cake. This inn shouldn’t be a secretany more.

The Gamekeepers Secret Inn is at 1555Melton Highway, Rockbank. Inquiries:9747 1000 or gamekeepers.com.au.

Teacher goes theVolunteer work isn’t part of his job, but

for Marian College teacher ChrisFenech it’s just another way to help

others in society.While his days are mainly filled teaching

maths and physical education to girls in years8 to 11, another important role he’s chosento take on is helping out at the Footscraysoup van, working alongside like-mindedstudents.

‘‘There’s a strong community philosophyin the school,’’ Mr Fenech says.

‘‘Students are encouraged to think aboutsocial well-being and get involved withwhat’s happening outside school withprojects such as volunteering for St Vinnie’sor working with migrants.’’

Over his 24-plus years of teaching experi-ence, a lot has changed, even in the four he’sspent at Marian College in Sunshine West, hesays.

‘‘Kids’ behaviours have changed. They’remore internet-savvy, and some are ahead oftheir time — they’re 13 or 15 but considerthemselves much older.

‘‘Social media is a concern now with morekids spending time on the computersocialising rather than doing homework and

online bullying is another issue they face.’’More than 800 girls attend the Catholic

high school and one way of drawing themaway from social media has been through theschool’s bike club, started by Mr Fenech.

‘‘Some girls are now riding their bikes toschool and even riding on weekends. It’sgreat to see them getting out there and reallyenjoying it.’’

He says working with the girls has kepthim young. ‘‘I really enjoy working with thestudents. It’s great to have an input into theirfuture and help mould them. If we can teachthe girls good habits now, when they leave itwill have a positive flow-on effect to the restof society.’’

Mr Fenech says people looking to teachneed to be thick-skinned. ‘‘The kids can bevery demanding, so you need to be resilient.And staying motivated and feeling a connec-tedness with the students is important.

‘‘Media reports can cause our society tostereotype teenagers. My experience in teach-ing, especially at Marian College, is thatthere are lots of passionate students. It’s allabout tapping into the individual’s awarenessand nurturing their passions.”

Teacher, April Cincotta“What I like most about teaching is being able to help students achieve their best and to inspire them not only academically, but personally. The students energies; their inquisitiveness, makes me want to teach them, and push them harder.

“This is my 6th year at Westbourne Grammar and it is so rewarding to watch the students grow and achieve their dreams.”

Cold-blooded passionReptile wrangler Adam Sapiano is rapt, and wrapped, with his career, writes Rebecca Miller

As a child, Adam Sapiano lovedbeing in touch with Australianfauna, but he never dreamed

he’d work with its inhabitants upclose.

‘‘Growing up, I was always anoutdoors kind of kid. I spent a lot oftime down the river looking for bluetongued lizards, but I never thoughtI’d grow up as a snake catcher,’’ Adamsays.

Working with reptiles daily requiresspecial skills and courses, but forAdam it’s all been worth it.

‘‘Snake catching started as a hobby.I’ve kept venomous and non-venomous snakes as pets for a numberof years and I became a snake catcherthree years ago.

‘‘At the start, I would catch snakesfor people on my days off, but now it’sa full-time service.

‘‘There’s courses available invenomous snake-handling recommen-ded for people who want to take onthat job. They’re also required to belicensed by the Department of Sustain-ability and Environment.’’

Adam is a wildlife controller whocovers most of Melbourne’s westernsuburbs, but he says he’ll travel any-where to catch a snake.

‘‘Calls generally come from some-one who has found a snake in theirbackyard or inside the house. OnceI’ve caught the snake, it’s relocated toa safe environment for the public andthe snake’s sake.’’

Adam says there’s no typical weekfor him, but as snake catching isseasonal, once the weather warms uphe can get up to six calls a day.

‘‘I have calls for tiger snakes inbedrooms, toilets, front and

backyards, roofs and on the beach.I’ve been called out at 2am to catchwhat ended up being a rubber snake.’’

Career highlights include catchingfive snakes in one day.

‘‘One of the most memorable dayswas catching two tiger snakes, one inHoppers Crossing, the other in Werri-bee, and three copperheads inKyneton, Woodend and Lancefield.’’

Adam says releasing snakes intotheir natural environment is the mostrewarding aspect.

‘‘It’s good to know I’ve done my bitto help keep both the public and thesnakes safe from harm.’’

Despite his hobby turning into acareer, Adam spends his spare timecaring for a private reptile collection.

‘‘I keep pythons, elapids (venomoussnakes), monitors (goannas) anddragons.’’

BMW 118d makes for dream touringEwan Kennedy road tests the German marque’s little convertible

Top down and sun up: The little BMW is just the thing for the good life.

A BMW convertible: sun up, top down, wan-dering along quiet scenic roads in the lastdays of winter in south-east Queensland.

Life doesn’t come much better than this. So wedecided to make a weekend of it and dawdled upto Noosa.

After driving for more than 500 kilometres thelittle 118d convertible was still showing about athird of a tank of diesel left. The efficiency of allcurrent BMW diesels is extremely impressive. Fita little 2.0-litre diesel engine unit into a lightishcar and fuel consumption in the low fives is therefor the asking.

On our holiday trip the fuel consumption wasin the mid five litres per hundred kilometresrange.

With the roof closed, therefore making for bet-ter aerodynamics, it would be easy to get the fuelconsumption down into the high fours.

The second generation of BMW’s 1 Series wasreleased in Australia in October 2011 in hatch-back form. But the convertible in which we havejust spent a most enjoyable week is carried over

from the previous generation. Exterior changesto the shape of the new-gen 1 Series hatchbacksare relatively minor.

Having a soft-top rather than a folding hard-top in the modern manner means the little Bim-mer looks like a ‘proper’ convertible. A hardtopwith the roof raised looks like just anothercoupe.

The 1 Series is the smallest in the BMW rangeand in convertible format, interior space is fur-ther compromised by the need to provide spaceinto which the roof can be lowered.

All these apparent handicaps are soon forgot-ten when we threw ‘our’ BMW 118d at hardcorners on demanding roads in quiet hilly areas.Superb balance is immediately obvious, as areresponsive steering and huge amounts of corner-ing grip.

Those who put sheer driving pleasure ahead ofall else will simply love every moment they spendbehind the wheel.

Prices start at $53,200, not including govern-ment or dealer delivery charges.

New Jeep is just grandOverhauled Cherokee is a winner, writes Ewan Kennedy

Smooth: Athletic and capable are the words that come to mind when looking at the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Upgraded: Interior is a big improvement over previousmodels and can now truly accept the ‘luxury’ tag.

The latest Jeep Grand Cherokee’s lines aresmooth and athletic and of course there’s aseven-bar chrome vertical grille announcing

the Jeep DNA.Last year the Grand Cherokee was given an

overhaul for the 2012 season. It had a below-parinterior and a 3.8-litre petrol V6 that guzzledfuel.

Now, the interior sets a new standard for this,Jeep’s flagship. The dash sets the tone with

stitched leather and the way it seems to naturallyinteract with the door trim to create a great cabineffect. The seats are supportive, maybe a little toofirm, and have a lumbar adjustment.

The rear seats are also firm but comfortable.Being leather they will wear in. Storage areasabound and the rear seat passengers now haveimproved legroom. There’s a fold-down centrearmrest when two occupy the second row. Headand shoulder room is good.

The 2012 model also has a new design 3.6-litreV6 engine. While it is an improvement in bothperformance and economy, it is still no fuel saint.

Changes to the Grand Cherokee are small butimportant: the doors open wider and the passen-gers have more knee and leg room. Cargo space isup by 11 per cent to 782 litres with the seats upand 1554 with the rear seat folded.

There’s not a lot of difference between the3.6-litre petrol V6 and the V8. Where it doesmatter is in towing where the V8 will haul up to3500 kg while the V6 is just 2268 kg.

Despite the classy makeover, the 2012 JeepGrand Cherokee is still true to its roots as a

highly capable get-down-and-dirty off-roader.The ability to substantially lift the body means inmost situations off-road the Grand Cherokeewill remain grand without the underbody bumpsand hits a 4WD might normally accumulate.

However, we suspect most Grand Cherokeeswill rarely see the dirt and rocks and will be usedas urban vehicles that double up as a tow vehicle,given the 3.5-tonne capability.

On road the Grand Cherokee is a refined pieceof kit that offers a ride as good as any SUV andhandles particularly well for a vehicle that tipsthe scales at almost 2.5 tonnes (with passengers)and is capable of tackling the most serious of off-road terrain. Jeep has done well to balance outthe crossover without compromise.

Prices start at $45,000, not including govern-ment or dealer delivery charges.

BY LANCE JENKINSON

SPOTSWOOD has surged into asixth consecutive Western RegionFootball League division 1 grandfinal with a runaway 48-point vic-tory over brave Hoppers Crossingin the preliminary final at AvalonAirport Oval on Saturday.

The Woodsmen have their sightsset on a fifth flag in six years afteroverturning a 17-point deficit mid-way through the second term tobook a blockbuster with Altona inthe season decider back at WattonStreet this Saturday.

Above all, the professionalism ofthe Woodsmen shone through.They went into the match withoutinjured player-coach Chris O’Keefeand on the back of an energy-sapping loss to Altona seven daysearlier.

No excuses were offered as everyplayer did their bit to keep theincredible grand final streak alive.

‘‘We didn’t have any passengerstoday,’’ O’Keefe said. ‘‘Everybodydid their piece.’’

The difference between the twosides was the vast experience theWoodsmen could draw upon fromprevious trips to the finals.

They are masters of the domain,level-headed in their approach andcool when the scoreboard began tocount against them approachinghalf-time.

On the other side of the ledger,the Warriors are relative finalsnovices and produced an erraticperformance that suggested asmuch.

They play an entertaining brandof football and probably had thelion’s share of the game’s highlightmoments, but you had to take thegood with the bad.

At critical stages, the Warriorscommitted undisciplined acts, their

physicality away from the contestresulting in unnecessary turnoversand their verbal back chat onlycompounding the problems.

‘‘The discipline side of things, I’mbig on that,’’ Warriors coach DavidMitchell said. ‘‘It was verydisappointing there at some stages.’’

The Warriors, so slick and ener-getic for the first 45 minutes of thematch, could not find a secondwind.

They crumbled at the first sign ofthe Woodsmen taking control andcould not recover.

‘‘We still have our lapses andthat’s the maturity of the group,’’Mitchell said. ‘‘Spotty, to theircredit and their experience, playedout the four quarters and that’s whythe won.’’

Kade Carey put on a show toremember for the Warriors.

The freakish forward booted four

goals — two of which were con-tenders for goal of the finals. Thefirst was an incredible snap acrossthe body at the swimming pool endafter he put in the initial hard yardsto win possession. The other was athree-on-one situation where hewas the one, nudged off one of thedefenders then splitting the othertwo to retrieve the skidding ball andsnap truly.

Jason Cloke was back to his bestat the opposite end for theWoodsmen.

The former AFL player arrivedthis finals series when in the secondquarter he ran with the flight of theball to pluck a courageous mark.Cloke finished with four goals.

And then there were two. Spots-wood, we all know about its grip ofthe competition, winning four ofthe past five premierships.

Altona, which has built withhomegrown talent under AnthonyEames, will play in its first divi-sion 1 grand final.

This is one not to be missed – thechampions v the minor premiers.Will the Woodsmen continue theirremarkable run or can Altona addits name to the premiers’ honourroll?

All will be revealed at Avalon Air-port Oval at 2.15pm on Saturday.

Brilliant Eagles fight back, win promotionBY TEO PELLIZZERI

AIRPORT West turned on one of the mostremarkable comebacks in Essendon DistrictFootball League history as it overturned a51-point deficit to beat West Coburg by69 points in the division 1 grand final on Sunday.

West Coburg kicked 11 of the first 13 goalsonly for Airport West to respond with 16unanswered on the way to winning 22.22 (154)to 13.7 (85) at Windy Hill.

The Eagles earned promotion to premier

division with the win while West Coburg had tosettle for runners-up for the second straight year.

But 17 minutes into the second quarter itlooked like the day would be West Coburg’swhen Ibrahim Atik’s goal made the score 11.5(71) to 2.8 (20) in the Burgers’ favour.

Daniel Harris would put through AirportWest’s third of the day at the 20-minute markand what followed would be an avalanche thatfew could have seen coming.

Guy Barbuto and Marcus Kenny added goalsin quick succession to keep the momentum roll-

ing, and when Billy Iles popped up for two quickgoals deep in the quarter margin was back to 18points by half-time.

Airport West chased the lead doggedly in theearly stages of the third quarter, hitting the frontwhen Iles’ third of the day took a dramatic swingon the wind to creep inside the post.

The game was marred by an ugly incident mid-way through the final quarter with HutchinsonMedal runner-up Abdikane Fitaax the mainaggressor, followed by a brawl involving morethan 10 players.

Cavs lickedIT was one of the most significant match-ups inthe second half of the 132-game VictorianPremier League season – the reigning championsversus the top contenders.

It’s a game that would provide an early formguide ahead of the finals.

Green Gully Cavaliers, last year’s premiershipteam, confronted ladder leader and now minorpremier Dandenong Thunder in the penultimateround meeting at Green Gully Reserve.

But it was not a pretty sight for the Cavs, rout-ed 3-0 on their home deck and likely to start thefinals in the bottom half of the top six, barringany changes in this weekend’s final round.

The Thunder sent a message to the rest of thecompetition that they’re a force to be reckonedwith.

They got under the skin of the home side fromthe word go and the Cavs’ frustrations boiledover in a red card incident to Andy Vargas.

It was not an afternoon to remember for theVargas brothers after Rodrigo was credited withthe Thunder’s first goal, an own goal.

The Cavs did not cope well going a man and agoal down, but held the visitors off until the last20 minutes before Thunder striker Nate Fosterscored twice to put the game out of reach.

They will get one last tune-up on Sundayagainst Northcote City on the road before theytake aim at a third straight title.

Big margin of votes earns De Sousa medal for third timeBY LANCE JENKINSON

TAYLORS Lakes ball magnet MarkDe Sousa won the Essendon DistrictFootball League’s division 1 best andfairest with mind-blowing ease.

The Lions leader is no stranger toaccepting the Hutchinson Medal at theleague’s night of nights.

The 28-year-old joined Aberfeldie’sClinton Casey in winning the awardfor a record-equalling third time.

But De Sousa was in a state ofshock, firstly because he beat a talen-ted crop of players to the highest indi-vidual honour, and then to do it bysuch a resounding margin.

He finished on 33 votes, a massive

12 ahead of the next best, WestCoburg’s Abdikane Fitaax.

It has to be remembered that DeSousa gave all other players in thecompetition a head start when he wastravelling overseas for the first twoweeks of the season.

And let’s not forget, the competitionwas as fierce as ever in the second tierthis winter, after a heavy influx offormer AFL and VFL players into thedivision.

‘‘It was definitely a surprise,’’ hesaid. ‘‘Two things, the quality of play-ers in my side, and the quality of play-ers in the competition, particularly atAirport West.

‘‘I also didn’t realise until the night

that I would be only the second personto win it three times.’’

De Sousa is not about to slow downany time soon.

The St Kilda resident said he wasstill in the prime of his football career.

He got even better this season andhe put that down to the knowledge hegained after completing a personaltraining course.

‘‘Last year, I was 11kg heavier, and Ineeded to get the weight down,’’ hesaid.

‘‘I put in a lot of hard work and Iwas able to lose weight in a short spaceof time.’’

What is it about De Sousa thatattracts the votes from the umpires?

Lions football manager GregHughes offered an explanation.

‘‘He stands out like the proverbial,’’he quipped. ‘‘His head is shaved, he’sgot tattoos and he wears bright orangeboots.’’

All jokes aside, Hughes, who haswatched De Sousa since he debuted inthe seniors as a 16 year old, knowsexactly why the five-time club cham-pion has etched his name into EDFLhistory books.

‘‘It’s his courage, his endeavour, hisskill,’’ Hughes said. ‘‘He would get 35possessions a game and 20 of them hegoes in and gets by himself.

‘‘He kicks it as far as anyone in theteam.’’

De Sousa has stayed loyal to theLions for the most part.

He tried his hand in A grade [nowpremier division] for a season withDoutta Stars and played in a losinggrand final.

But the pull back to the Lions wastoo strong.

De Sousa’s return was rewardedwith his career highlight, captainingthe Lions’ first senior premiership inB grade in 2010 and doing it alongsidehis lifelong friends.

‘‘I went to school with a lot of theplayers in the team,’’ De Sousa said.

‘‘About 95 per cent of them arehome-grown. We all just love playingwith this club.’’

Forward role provesa winner for HamzaBY LANCE JENKINSON

TUMAY Hamza was taken aback when he polledthe most votes at the Essendon District FootballLeague division 2 best-and-fairest count — aninaugural award he had already dubbed the‘‘midfielders medal’’.

The Hillside Sharks star had no real expecta-tions when he arrived at the Moonee ValleyRacing Club because he had spent most of histime swooping on the crumbs in the forward lineand popping in goals from all angles.

‘‘I didn’t think I’d win it,’’ Hamza told theWeekly.

‘‘It’s more of a midfielders award.‘‘I played 80 per cent of game time up forward

and to win it was quite surprising.’’Hamza had a wonderful season for the Sharks.He booted 33 goals in a sneaky role not too

dissimilar to St Kilda star Steven Milne.Sharks captain Jarrod Catania says Hamza has

a great ability to get busy around the contest andgo for repeat efforts.

‘‘He’s always in the action, always around theball,’’ he said.

‘‘He’s a skilful little player.‘‘He’s had a really good year, quite a few

standout games.’’Hamza is not one to gloat about his own form.He said the honour had as much to do about

the players around him as it did about his ownabilities.

‘‘Yes, it’s an individual honour,’’ he said.‘‘But it’s got a lot to do with the personnel you

have in the team.‘‘They’re the ones that get you the ball.’’Hamza’s sporting story is a unique one.His first love was football, but his career will

be defined by taekwondo.He has travelled to more than 25 countries in

his pursuit of a lifelong dream of representingAustralia at the Olympic Games, but that nevercame to fruition, despite becoming a Common-wealth champion in 2011.

‘‘I couldn’t do all that travel with a lifetime ofsavings,’’ he said.

‘‘With taekwondo, it’s personal satisfaction. Alot of effort goes in over the long term.

‘‘With footy, it’s more short-term goals, train-ing two nights and play.’’

Hamza will still take part in competitive taek-wondo and strive to achieve his best in the indi-vidual sport, but his heart is growing fonder ofthe oval ball.

The 29-year-old loves the chance to work in ateam, play alongside his best mates and the thrillof singing the club song after a win.

‘‘I enjoy football more than taekwondo,’’ hesaid.

‘‘I got stuck in the [taekwondo] circle because Iwas winning.

‘‘It wasn’t something I loved to do.‘‘Whereas I wake up on a Saturday morning

and I can’t wait to play.‘‘I love the social aspect and you don’t get that

in taekwondo.’’Hamza has been a football journeyman.He started in the juniors with Greenvale before

moving to Keilor.He spent his under-19 season with old school-

mates at Old Essendon Grammarians and got towin a flag.

Then it was on to Parkside in the WesternRegion Football League, where he spent six yearsin the seniors.

A season at Roxburgh Park was followed bythree years with the Sharks.

Hamza has no plans of adding to his vast list ofclub. ‘‘I love the place, the players and the peoplearound the club,’’ he said.
