South Morang artist John Duggan has a wealth of knowledge about his indigenous heritage and he honours his ancestors through his art. His passion and dedication for his ancestry have put him in the running to win one of the state’s top art awards with his installation piece, Tools of the Trade: Hunter. “It’s important to maintain tradition,” he says. “I would hate to think that we would lose the techniques and knowledge that people have been practising for over 50,000 years.” ■ INSIDE STORY, PAGE 13

builder goes under before leisure centre is completedbroadmeadows
� e $13.23 million redevelopment of Broadmeadows Leisure Centre has hit a hurdle with its key builder in � nancial strife.
Melbourne-based Walton Construction Pty Ltd was placed in administration last � ursday a� er su� ering heavy losses in its building operations. Lawler Draper Dillon has been appointed administrator.
Walton was in charge of the construction of a 50-metre indoor pool and a new main entrance to the leisure centre from Tanderrum Way.
Hume chief executive Domenic Isola last week con� rmed the council was aware the company was having � nancial problems.
“In the past few days we understand they have had some � nancial di� culties and were having some problems with paying their
Mr Isola said it was disappointing to hear that some tradespeople ha d not been paid. He added that it would be the role of the administrator to look a� er them.
� e works began in August last year. In addition to the new pool and entrance, the redevelopment includes
a new crèche, an upgrade of the ground � oor and amenities area, refurbishment of the change rooms, improved disabled access and a new
car park. � e Victorian government contributed $3.5 million to the project.
Broadmeadows Progress Association secretary John Rutherford said he was shocked to hear of Walton’s problems. “I was at the gym [at the centre] this morning [Friday] and I didn’t hear a thing about it. From the community’s point of view, we hope it’s worked out as
tradespeople,’’ Mr Isola said. “� ey had a few little things to complete before they had � nished their part of the project.”
Mr Isola said the council would consider � nishing the project itself. “We are holding some bank guarantees and some retention money, which will be used to � nish the project. “We’re lucky that the project is 95 per cent completed; it’s in the � nal stages.”
Mr Isola said council representatives would meet the administrator soon to ensure the project is not delayed. � e council still expects the redevelopment to be � nished in December.
“� ere are a few things we will need to look at and there will be a fair bit of work with the administrator to say this is where we are with things,” he said.
quickly as possible and the redevelopment is completed on time.”
Walton, founded in 1993, had 340 employees at its peak and turned over $360 million a year. But its workforce had shrunk to about 110 this year because of the downturn in the construction industry. \

ride2work day
Lead by example. � is simple health message has put the mayors of Whittlesea and Hume on their bikes ready for next Wednesday’s national Ride2Work day.
As part of its healthy travel drive, Whittlesea will also host this year’s Mayors on Bikes event, a challenge that has so far inspired 24 riders from neighbouring councils and from as far a� eld as Ballarat.
Whittlesea mayor Rex Gri� n said the ride would be a chance to showcase the work his council had already done to put pedal power in the driver’s seat of integrated transport.
“Council needs to ensure our growing communities have access to the things most other communities in Melbourne’s inner suburbs take for granted,” he said.
Experts say more than half of Australians don’t get enough physical activity to maintain their health.
� e Australian Institute of Health and Welfare recommends 30 minutes of moderate activity for adults on most days (up to 60 minutes for children) to stay healthy. \

BRIEFSgrowth areas gain in childhood support DISABILITY SERVICES
� e state government has recognised the need for early childhood intervention support in Melbourne’s growth corridors, with a bulk of new places dedicated for the north and north-western suburbs.
Visiting the Education Program for Infants and Children (EPIC) in Bundoora last week, children and Early Childhood Development Minister Wendy Lovell announced the delivery of 500 new early intervention places across 20 community organisations.
Early childhood intervention services provide families of children with disabilities or developmental-delays support in the pre-school years.
Carers in early childhood intervention
work in homes and kindergartens to ensure children develop learning skills.
� e latest announcement follows 500 places allocated in March.
� ere will be 132 places allocated to providers that service fringe suburbs in Melbourne’s north and north-west. EPIC will get 20 of them.
EPIC chief executive Nicole Mahar said the boost would be a great help to families in Whittlesea, Darebin and Banyule.
Ms Lovell said early childhood intervention built the capacity of parents and family members to respond to children’s needs.
Lauren Matthews, executive o� cer of Early Childhood Intervention Australia’s Victorian chapter, said there was a constant demand on early childhood intervention services.
She said the Victorian model was a “key in� uencer” in the development of intervention services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
“Victorian early childhood intervention policy and the service providers who implement it are seen as the national leaders of best practice,” she said.
Colleen Argent’s four-year-old daughter, Ella, has used the EPIC early childhood intervention services for almost two years, a� er a year on the waiting list.
Ms Argent, of Epping, said it was important the services be local.
“It needs to be convenient,” she said. “Ella’s carer is only a short drive from her kindergarten and our home.” \

carnival pins generosity on a program with bitemelbourne cup charity
Racing season brings Melbourne foodies and fashionistas trackside, but for those on the other side of the tracks such luxury is rare .
Community food program SecondBite wants Melbourne punters to give a sporting chance to neighbours struggling to put food on their plates, with the group chosen as this year’s charity partner by the Victoria Racing Club for its 153rd Melbourne Cup Carnival.
� e money from the sale of the 2013 Pin & Win commemorative pins, including a diamonte version, will go towards the program’s target of raising $250,000 to deliver an extra 625,000 healthy meals to people who would otherwise go hungry.
SecondBite started in 2005 in Kensington with volunteers distributing food products that were otherwise going to be dumped.
Mickleham volunteer Lisa Ali can usually be found at Preston market at 3pm on any given Saturday . � at’s the closing and clean-up time for marketeers and prime time for SecondBite to move in and help sort le� overs . Ms Ali will be among a squad
of SecondBite volunteers selling pins on Melbourne Cup Day .
She met Coles Broadmeadows supermarket manager Alex Zahariou and produce manager Aurora Binci last week to kickstart the Pin & Win campaign .
“It’s amazing how many good people there are,” Ms Ali said.
Pin & Win lapel pins are on sale until November 9, online, at Liquorland, First Choice Liquor and Vintage Cellars Australia- wide and through SecondBite at Flemington. \

Brawl shows lawis right, says MP
CRACKDOWN ON BIKIES
Northern metropolitan MP Craig Ondarchie believes the state government’s new anti-forti� cation laws have been vindicated following a recent spate of bikie violence across Melbourne.
� e laws, which came into e� ect on Sunday, allow police to tear down “fortress-like” protection around motorcycle gang club houses.
Mr Ondarchie said a brawl at a South Morang shopping centre on September 22 demonstrated the importance of the crackdown as the state couldn’t stand idly by and watch outlaw motorcycle clubs “terrorise suburban Victoria”.
Police say � ve men attacked two others at the Groove Train cafe at West� eld Plaza. � ey say it turned into a brawl, with both parties using chairs and bottles. A Lalor man, 35, sustained facial injuries in the incident, which was seen by about 100 people, including children.
An Epping man was charged with a� ray and behaving in a riotous manner.
And on September 30, a Hallam gym and a Dandenong tattoo parlour were shot at with what police identi� ed as “ high-powered military weapons”.
Both are reportedly owned by the Comanchero motorcycle club.
Six of eight men arrested in police raids on Tuesday appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday on assault, weapons and drug charges.
Comancheros Gemino Aloia, 26, of Glenroy, Bemir Saracevic, 26, Emir Jaha, 27, and Gladstone Park’s Mark Balsillie, 29, were all remanded to appear again on December 19.
Hell’s Angel Dennis Basic was remanded to a committal hearing on December 20, while Mohammed Khodr, also aligned with the Hell’s Angels, was bailed to reappear on October 15. \

jump on board the transport campaign whittlesea
With Melbourne’s CBD in plain sight, Whittlesea’s fast-growing northern ’burbs have plenty of bus stops, but no buses to stop.
And the train line goes only as far as South Morang .
Now, Whittlesea council and community lobbyists are pushing for the tracks to return again to stations farther north, and for buses to turn up at the stops that were put in by the estate developers .
“We’re perpetually advocating for funds from the state and federal governments,” mayor Rex Gri� n said.
“Without action, the municipality faces signi� cant detrimental impacts on business, the community and the environment.”
Whittlesea is one of Australia’s fastest-growing municipalities, increasing by about 8000 new residents every year.
Social media sites re� ect the widespread
frustration of residents caught between a rock and a hard place. Even failed Scullin Katter’s Australian Party candidate Dom Greco has joined the Facebook campaign .
“� e car parks along Hurstbridge, South Morang and Craigieburn lines are all the same because we have no Mernda rail link,”
Mr Greco posted on Facebook. “Most or all, the parking and tra� c woes of the northern suburbs could be � xed with this [rail link]. Both Liberal and Labor promise the world but never deliver. I live here and have had enough.’’
One commentator suggested many home owners were selling up because
of the lack of infrastructure. Another said: “So, unless you drive to the
bus stop, take a bus to the train, or take a taxi from home to the train, or get a li� , it is not possible for residents who live beyond walking distance from South Morang station, to travel by train a� er 7am.
“With the state election coming in November next year , it is time both the state Liberal and Labor parties told us what year we can get on a train at Mernda. Currently, neither has a policy on this vital project.”
� e council has released a dra� integrated transport strategy that identi� es actions needed over the next � ve years. “We need greater investment into alternatives to car use, such as bike paths and train stations – both essential for mobility and particularly for young people,” Cr Gri� n said.
Forums on Whittlesea’s transport strategy start next week and the dra� strategy is on the council’s Community Voice website. � e � rst session is on October 18 from 10am to noon, with another on October 24, 5.30pm-7.30pm, at the council o� ces, 25 Ferres Boulevard, South Morang. \

Whittlesea’s Harmony Art exhibition, open until October 18 in the council’s Great Hall, features works by more than 100 local artists.
On show are paintings, wood carvings, jewellery, drawings, sculpture, etchings, photographs, mosaics and textiles.
“Artists were asked to respond to this year’s theme of harmony,” mayor Rex Gri� n said.
“Some have expressed life lived in harmony with family, nature, people from di� erent cultural backgrounds or global harmony.”
Japan -born Hiroku Wyatt (pictured), a member of Plenty Valley Arts, worked as an illustrator for Time magazine when she arrived in Australia 25 years ago.
Her watercolour of two kookaburras joins works by Kinglake artist Gay Chat� eld, who is rebuilding her life a� er the 2009 Black Saturday bush� res. Gay has created two sculptural works titled Interwoven Nests and Natural Collections . \ HG

MY SHOUTLast week’s tragic sinking of a migrant boat off the Italian coast should be a wake-up call to Australians who think we’re the only ones dealing with asylum seekers and refugees.Southern European countries, such as Italy, Malta and Spain, deal with far more boat arrivals than we do yet they continue to treat it as a humanitarian issue.Italy alone had more than 7000 refugees arrive by boat in the � rst half of this year on top of thousands more entering by land from Eastern Europe and the Middle East.It causes social and economic issues and resentment from sections of Italian society, and while Italy sends home thousands of people found to be economic refugees, it has never entertained turning them back at sea when they’re at their most vulnerable. The Italian government recognises it’s dealing with desperate people, not just boats. \

your voiceWATERS MUDDIED IN HUME-SUNBURY POLL(Weekly, October 1)
■ Kym Schubert and Raz Di Vito are some of the residents I’ve invited to discuss the accounting � rm KPMG’s � nancial report and answer their concerns. A few have accepted, but as is the case with this minority group they want to make false statements but at the same time will not commit to a meeting to learn more.
They [the ‘yes’ group for Sunbury’s secession from Hume council] say the plan has presented a one-sided story, but they themselves have shed no light on the “other story” they believe may exist.
Mr Di Vito has stated no clear plan . But the “yes” group has a very clear plan. Vote yes and a panel then discusses the merits of the new shire going ahead.
It’s sad that this minority group is making comment on issues that they clearly do not understand or do not want to understand. I urge Ms Schubert to make contact so we can
make the advantages of breaking away from Hume very clear to her.
October 25 will represent one of the most important times in Sunbury’s history. The residents have the chance to have their own council once again. This new council will be a best-practice council and an ef� cient one providing the services that Sunbury needs.
The scare campaign being run by a very small minority has provided no factual reasons to say why having our own council is a bad idea.
In fact, they came to a public meeting called by the Sunbury Residents Association where people could freely ask questions. Not one of this small group asked a single question. Obviously they had no concerns in the end.
Councillors Jack Ogilvie and Jack Medcraft both support the yes vote. Cr Ann Potter stated she was philosophically not opposed to a new council.
Cr Ogilvie has been involved with Hume council for a long time, especially on � nancial matters. He clearly stated a new council can be
formed that will not lead to a rate rise for residents .
To have a council made up of councillors who all live in the Sunbury area can only be a big positive for us all. TREVOR DANCE \ SUNBURY
■ Sounds to me like the whole push is just for status by the “we don’t want to be associated with those Broadmeadows people”. There is still no solid evidence showing advantages for Sunbury if it breaks away from Hume council.PHIL \ ONLINE

mayoral tug ’o’ war beginsmayoral election
Battle lines are being drawn for this month’s Hume council mayoral election, with one councillor declaring his hand and another saying she’s considering standing .
Last week, the Weekly contacted all 11 councillors to ask whether they would be running for the municipality’s top job on October 31.
Two-term mayor Jack Ogilvie said he would contest. He wore the mayoral robes in 1998-99 and in 2008-09.
“� ere are huge issues facing Hume, including the possible move of Sunbury out of Hume, the development of precinct structure plans, and huge growth. � ey will need a lot of input from an experienced mayor. � at’s why I’ll be standing .”
Cr Jack Medcra� said he would support his fellow Jacksons Creek ward councillor. “Jack [Ogilvie] is a worthy candidate to be mayor and no one has more planning experience than Jack. He’s the best person to handle the challenges ahead.
“I hope the mayor is decided on the [basis of being the] best person for the role – not voting along party lines.”
Another former mayor, Cr Helen Patsikatheodorou, said she was considering contesting the role again.
“I believe I have the experience to represent the Hume community. I want to continue building on the achievements, relationships and partnerships during my mayoral year in 2011,” she said.
“I believe during that time I represented the whole Hume community, and I will continue to work with all communities, organisations, businesses and individuals to improve services and
programs that will enrich the lives of all living in Hume.
“� ere are many things still to be done, and I would like the opportunity to continue this work. ”
Cr Drew Jessop said he wouldn’t be standing due to work commitments.
Cr Casey Nunn said she hadn’t made up her mind about who she would support .
Councillors Chandra Bamunusinghe, Alan Bolton, Ann Potter, Geo� Porter, Adem Atmaca and Vic Dougall did not respond. \

walkathon reflects a mum’s loveWestmeadows
Westmeadows mother Amy Mathias had little knowledge of cystic � brosis until her � rst-born, Oliver, was diagnosed with the condition.
When he was just one month old, doctors told Ms Mathias, 25 (pictured with partner Matt Watt and Oliver), that her son would need life-long treatment . “He’s still the same Ollie,” she said. “But it’s the hardest thing
when you � nd out you have a sick little kid.” Now aged six months, Oliver requires daily physio treatment and has a team of doctors and consultants helping improve his quality of life. � e diagnosis sparked Ms Mathias’s involvement with Cystic Fibrosis Victoria. She will take part in a Great Strides walkathon on October 27 for those hit by the condition. \ BF

Kalkallo farmer Hannah Marriott has won one of Australian agriculture’s most prestigious research awards for
her use of electronic identi� cation devices (EIDs) to assess growth rates of lambs and fertility of ewes.
“As costs rise year on year, it’s important to be able to ensure we don’t use poor stock,” Ms Marriott says.
Ms Marriott (pictured) is responsible for a 1080-hectare prime lamb property, one of three farms run by her family.
She breeds from about 4500 ewes to grow lambs for domestic and export markets.
She says the main aim of using the identi� cation devices is to ensure they add value to her farming .
“ I believe EIDs could help manage
seasonal risk by ensuring excess sheep are on-sold for poor breeding performance rather than age,” she said.
“� ey will ensure the increasing cost of inputs are used most e� ciently.’’.
Ms Marriott’s research has won her a $30,000 Nu� eld scholarship, which supports projects that will bene� t the Victorian community.
She will travel overseas to research sheep breeding and selection programs in New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Nu� eld Australia has awarded a record 21 scholarships to Australians this year.
� e recipients will undertake a 16-week travel program and complete their studies next year . \

‘more councillors, please’councillor representation
Voters in growth areas such as Hume and Whittlesea are in danger of being under-represented by their local council unless councillor numbers are increased, experts warn.
A discussion paper released as part of a state government-ordered review into local government elections has raised concerns about the ability of councillors in areas experiencing rapid population growth to properly represent their ratepayers.
� e review, led by Liberal Party elder Petro Georgiou , will consider the need to increase the maximum number of councillors that can be elected to a council.
Currently, councils can not have more than 12 councillors.
In Whittlesea and Hume, three wards are represented by 11 councillors.
“Some councils (such as Casey, Hume, Whittlesea and Wyndham) are experiencing rapidly increasing populations with very high councillor-voter ratios,” the report said.
“ � is raises concerns over councillor workloads and potential under-representation of voters.”
Whittlesea mayor Rex Gri� n said the
number of councillors in the council increased at last year’s election from nine to 11.
Hume councillors Helen Patsikatheodorou and Jack Ogilvie said the workload of councillors had increased .
But both highlighted other issues they feel need addressing before councillor numbers.
“I believe the last Hume council boundary redistribution process
made some huge mistakes in the ward boundaries,” Cr Patsikatheodorou said.
“ Tullamarine was placed with Sunbury and Campbell� eld with
Craigieburn. � ese communities are not only separated by distance but are
also not ‘like’ communities.”Cr Ogilvie said he would like to see a
return to one-councillor wards to reduce the duplication of work among councillors.
� e review panel will hold a public hearing at Brimbank council’s Sunshine o� ces from 4pm-7.15pm on Friday. \

heart health all in the mind: doctor
Transcendental meditation is a potential non-drug treatment for heart disease, according to a visiting US physician and natural medicine researcher.
Dr Robert Schneider is director of the Institute of Natural Medicine and Prevention at the Maharishi University of Management. He has spent the past 20 years researching non-drug approaches to the prevention and treatment of heart disease and will present some of his � ndings at a seminar at the RMIT Bundoora campus on October 14.
Dr Schneider’s subjects will include the bene� ts of naturally lowering blood pressure to prevent heart disease.
In December’s American Heart Association journal Circulation, he published � ndings showing a 48 per cent reduction in mortality in heart attack and stroke patients who used transcendental meditation for an average of � ve years.
Dr Schneider’s pursuit of natural medicines was based on creating a “bigger armament, a bigger base of tools” to � ght heart disease. \ BF

poo power more than a pipe dreamaurora
� ere’s more to poo than meets the eye … or the nose, for that matter. It’s the matter, in fact, that is adding grunt to the � nancial bottom line for Yarra Valley Water (YVW), set against what would otherwise be ongoing costs to provide recycled water services to Melbourne’s booming north.
� e water authority is in the detailed design phase of a new “waste to energy’’ plant next to its sewage treatment plant at Aurora, which already supplies class-A recycled water to homes in Craigieburn and Epping North.
� e new plant will convert the methane gas emitted by sewage sludge (known as biogas) and other organic matter otherwise destined for land� ll, into electricity , reducing energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
On a site tour with YVW’s innovation and growth manager Andrew Edney and northern treatment plant operations manager Stephen Graham, it was explained to the Weekly that methane gas will be collected from a sealed “digestor” unit, signi� cantly cutting emissions of this common greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.
� e project is expected to generate enough biogas to run both the electricity generation plant and sewage treatment plant next door.
Depending on supply, the biogas may even generate income for the water authority by putting power back into the grid.
YVW managing director Tony Kelly said Aurora was chosen because it was close to organic waste sources, being in the midst of the Plenty Valley Food Group’s manufacturing hub . It’s also near the Western Ring Road and there is a large bu� er from
residential and commercial premises.“Instead of treating our sludge as waste,
we’re treating it as a product with value,” he said. “� e facility will help us ... reduce the quantity of nutrients being discharged into Port Phillip Bay while creating a sewage treatment plant that is energy self-su� cient.”
Construction is due to start early next year.HELEN GRIMAUX

South Morang-based artist John Duggan is not a full-time practising artist. He’s a Museum Victoria employee and an archaeology student with a wealth of knowledge about his indigenous heritage. But the passion and
dedication Duggan has for his ancestry has put him in the running to win one of the state’s top art awards. He’s been nominated for the 2013 Victorian Indigenous Art Awards for his installation piece, Tools of the trade: ‘Hunter’.
“Most of the material in my work is based on tradition,” he says. “All of it has been cra� ed in a traditional way – pressure � aking and percussion � aking, binding and cementing with traditional resins and stringy bark.”
Duggan says traditional methods leave distinct markers on the � nal product, and the practice is something that should be “acknowledged and encouraged” in indigenous and non-indigenous communities.
Duggan honours his ancestors through his art.“It’s important to maintain tradition,” he says.
“I would hate to think that we would lose the techniques and knowledge that people have been practising for over 50,000 years.”
His mother was born and bred in Moree, New South Wales, and his father came from Waterfall in southern Sydney. But Duggan says it was the uncles on his mother’s side who taught him many things about his heritage. “I have a lot of uncles and some maintained aspects of traditional knowledge,” he says.
Duggan has been with Museum Victoria for seven years, and � ve years ago he moved into his role as assistant collection manager for the Australian ethnographic collection, which encompasses all Aboriginal collections.
His interest in artefacts and collecting has led to his studying archaeology at La Trobe University in Bundoora. Busy with work and his art, Duggan has taken time o� from study but it’s something he is keen to return to.
� is is not the � rst time Duggan’s artistic ability has been recognised. He was shortlisted for the Indigenous Art Awards in 2008.
� is year’s entry is a fusion of his indigenous heritage and the western culture in which he was raised. Tools of the trade: ‘Hunter’ is a modern-day steel toolbox � lled with hand-cra� ed indigenous hunting tools made from stone, skin, wood, grass tree resin and kangaroo sinew. Duggan describes it as “a comparison of traditional tradecra� – hunting – and a modern-day tradie”.
making his markTraditional tools inspire indigenous artist John Duggan, writes BRIDGET FITZGERALD
Duggan aims to encourage an interest in indigenous culture and educat e people, but he doesn’t consider himself an activist. He says his work is a quiet way of burning the � ame for his people.
“It’s important to keep these traditions alive even though there is less need for such tools,” he says. “Stone spearheads, stone knives and hatchets are no longer practical in modern-day Australia. But by maintaining this knowledge we honour the old people of this land and strengthen the deep, rich history of Australia.”
Duggan says that history is something from which
he draws a lot of strength, and it’s a pivotal part of his working and personal life.
Duggan’s artpiece can be seen at a free exhibition of � nalists’ work at the Art Gallery of Ballarat from November 2 to December 8. � e 2013 winner will be named on November 2. Online voting for the Arts Victoria People’s Choice Award will open on November 2 and continue until November 25. \

mosque appeal lodgedcoolaroo
Broadmeadows Progress Association secretary John Rutherford is formally appealing against Hume council’s decision to allow the building of a mosque in Kyabram Street, Coolaroo. An appeal in the name of Mr Rutherford “and others’’ has been lodged with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
� e approval of the building permit gave rise to emotional scenes and sparked religious tensions at the council meeting in late August, with more than 1000 people massing in and outside the Broadmeadows chambers.
Most objectors were parishioners of St Mary’s Ancient Church of the East, which is next door to the block earmarked for the Al Sadiq Foundation’s mosque.
� ere are already a number of mosques and churches in the Coolaroo area.
Tullamarine architect Ed Cuma said every mosque proposal he had put to Hume council had met with a similar reaction from Mr Rutherford and his group.
“� ey have always objected,’’ Mr Cuma said. “Every single one [mosque plan] in
Broadmeadows has gone to VCAT. � ey’re no strangers to me.’’
A statement issued by the council last week said: “� e appellants claim the proposal is inconsistent with local planning and the Hume planning scheme.” It said the appeal claimed the mosque would “adversely impact the local area in relation to the social, economic and tra� c conditions”.
But the council said the application “was assessed in relation to the
functionality of the proposed on-site car park and the provision of parking spaces, which meet statutory requirements”.
“Kyabram Street has the capacity to accommodate the additional
tra� c that would be generated by this development,” the council said .
St Mary’s Ancient Church of the East plans to build a school and reception centre behind the church .
“Any further proposed development on Kyabram Street will be assessed on its own merit for any impact it may have on the surrounding road network,” council spokesman, city sustainability director Kelvin Walsh told the Weekly.
No date has been set for the VCAT appeal. \ HG

POOL SAFETY \ Secure fencing can save lives, writes Rebecca MilleR
Heat is on for pool owners
With the weather warming up, those of us lucky enough to have a pool in the backyard are probably getting it ready for summer. While adding the pool cleaner
and removing leaves is often high on the agenda, Kidsafe Victoria is reminding families about pool safety, specifically the need for adequate fencing.
According to Kidsafe, drowning is one of the leading causes of death for Australian children aged under five, and pools are the most common location for drowning in this age group, accounting for 38 per cent of drowning incidents.
Sadly, 21 Australian children aged up to four drowned in 2011 and 2012.
That’s something secure pool fencing can help prevent.
Over time, with pool and spa fencing exposed to extreme weather and wear and tear, including rust, missing bolts or screws and other damage, it’s important for fencing to be checked and maintained.
The Victorian government’s Closing the Gate on Backyard Pool Drowning campaign encourages pool and spa owners to visit the Kidsafe website and use the pool and spa checking tool, developed by Life Saving Victoria, to check the safety of pool and spa areas. \
» For more information on pool and spa safety, visit: kidsafevic.com.au
visit the kidsafe web-
site to check safety
Common faults and non-compliance issues include:
■ Gates that don’t self-latch or self-close
■ Climbable objects near the pool or spa, including pot plants, chairs and pool pumps, that could enable a child to climb the fence
■ Excess space under the fence
■ Misuse, such as propping the pool gate open

MOTORiNg \ rod easdown gets behind the wheel
There can’t be many devices that are as technically advanced, or built to finer tolerances, than the diesel motors
coming out of Europe. They are remarkable.The key to smooth running is breaking the
fuel into the smallest droplets possible, and it’s done by increasing the injection pressure at the cylinder. Fuel enters the cylinders of modern European diesels at 2050 Bar. How much is that? Were you to balance a Land Cruiser on a single stiletto heel, you’d be about there.
And they’re made to run more quietly by a pilot burn, injecting a tiny amount of fuel – about enough to sit on a pin head – to start the burn before the main injection of fuel follows a millisecond or two later. A jet travelling at 1000 km/h would cover 25 centimetres in the time between the pilot burn and main burn.
Getting all this to happen a couple of thousand times a minute takes incredibly fine timing and production tolerances. Fuel channels entering the cylinder are a micron wide. Human hair is anything from 20 to 60 microns thick.
It also takes the right fuel. We didn’t get the good European diesel motors here until 2005. Until then our diesel fuel carried too much sulphur for them. The Americans were a couple of years behind us.
Until lately, Japanese diesel motors have been the almost-exclusive province of 4WD and commercial vehicles but, to sell
cars in serious volumes into Europe, Japanese manufacturers have to produce diesels that
not only comply with Euro emission regulations but are also competitive.
They’re getting there, but there |is still refinement to achieve. Mazda is now making a push into the technology in passenger cars and SUVs.The 2.2-litre diesel in the Mazda 6
is a bit noisier and not quite as smooth as those coming out of Europe, but it’s every bit as economical and that’s probably enough
for the bulk of buyers. If you can live with a little extra clatter as the car idles, and deeper, growlier induction noise when you accelerate, this car is a definite proposition, even at a premium of about $3000 on the equivalent petrol model.
The Mazda 6 is such a good thing anyway that getting the bonus of brilliant economy becomes very attractive. It looks good, drives beautifully and has generous cabin space, and it’s a pretty good deal.

OCTOBER 8, 2013 \ NORTHERN WEEKLY 25
Of all the grapes in all the land, chardonnay is currently Australia’s best performer.
Chardonnay from the cool regions in southern Australia has been receiving rave reviews all around the world. It’s my favourite white by a fair stretch, too.
Curiously, chardonnay isn’t a wine that’s naturally loaded with flavour. It’s actually quite neutral, but in the hands of a skilled winemaker it can reach soaring heights.
You’ll find lemon, grapefruit, citrus blossom and stonefruit characters in most Australian chardonnays, but every region has its own flavour profile. The differences between these regional styles of chardonnay offer something for every white wine drinker.
STRucTuRE aNd ciTRuS \ MORNiNgTON PENiNSuLaThe maritime climate of the Mornington Peninsula plays a big part in the flavour profile and structure of its chardonnay. Cooling sea breezes keep daytime temperatures down and help grapes to retain acidity better than warm wine regions.
“Chardonnay’s the king of the white grapes. It’s the most malleable white grape there is, with great potential in terms of flavours and mouthfeel. We’re looking for elegance and texture with our chardonnay,” Stonier winemaker Mike Symons says.
According to Symons, this leads to a citrus character that runs through the peninsula’s chardonnay.
“They’re not sweet-fruited chardonnays, but savoury, with lemon and citrus flavours plus exotic characters I see that are in the other maritime
dEcaNTER \ BEN THOMAS RAISES THE WHITE FLAG
climates around Australia.” STONEfRuiT aNd MELON \ YaRRa VaLLEYHoddles Creek winemaker Franco d’Anna says Yarra Valley chardonnay has come full circle in the past four years.
“It was a bigger style, swung to lean and now it’s heading towards the middle, with more flavour and intensity. Yarra Valley chardonnay can sit in the middle of those styles and do it really well,” d’Anna says.
“We’ve moved away from citrus and grapefruit and more back to stonefruit – light ones rather than getting
into peach territory – with a little bit of melon with some citrus notes as well.”fLaVOuR dENSiTY \ adELaidE HiLLSWhen Adam Wadewitz moved to Shaw + Smith at the beginning of the year – and the start of this year’s grape harvest – he had shiraz and pinot noir on his mind. The quality of the chardonnay grapes took him by surprise.
“Chardonnay shines the brightest up here,” says Wadewitz, who is Shaw + Smith’s chief winemaker.
“The Adelaide Hills as a region is so diverse: climate, elevation, rainfall and aspect all play a role. Chardonnay from higher sites, such as Piccadilly, Lenswood and Summertown that are above 500 metres, are really defined by their acid.
“There’s an effortless density of flavour that stays with the wines. They’re not skinny wines like Chablis or pronounced like a Puglingy-Montrachet, but there’s a grunt to Adelaide Hills chardonnay.”
POWER \ MaRgaRET RiVER“In the past 20 years, like a lot of Australian wineries, we’ve moved away from the heavily oaked, full-bodied wines and there’s now a trend to picking earlier with lower alcohols and natural acidity,” Juniper Estate winemaker Mark Messenger says.
There’s a particular clone of chardonnay that’s widely planted in Margaret River – mendoza, or gin gin – which gives Margaret River chardonnay a powerful intensity. “The overriding character of Margaret River chardonnay is mid-palate fruit power – you get mid-palate fruit sweetness with the mendoza clone as well as length,” Messenger says. \

malleable white grape
there is”

all-round ability pays off for owenTAC CUP
Woodend’s Jake Owen is the Robert Hyde medallist a� er winning the Calder Cannons’ best and fairest count on Friday night.
Owen, a utility who played across every line this season, won from Aberfeldie inside mid� elder Matthew Merlo and Romsey tall defender Jake Lever.
Owen and Merlo were tied in the count deep into the home-and-away season before Owen edged in front through the � nals.
Consistent through the campaign, Owen was named among Calder’s best in 14 of the 18 games he played.
His versatility was a big factor in his call-up to the Vic Metro squad for the under-18 national carnival a� er playing mid� eld then back then forward through the season.
He kicked 18 goals, including a purple patch of 11 in three matches in late July and early August.
Doutta Stars’ Mitchell Jensen won the Neil Wood medal for ‘most improved’, while Romsey’s Nathan Blair was named ‘most courageous’ and Brian Price won the Doug McCasker award for being ‘club person of the year’.
Meanwhile, Calder has reappointed senior coach Andrew Jago for the 2014 season.
A� er a preliminary � nal exit this season, the Cannons are already preparing for next year’s campaign.
“I’m exceptionally proud of the group,” Jago said. “We had our opportunities in the preliminary � nal and didn’t take them.
“But give Dandenong [Stingrays] their due, we couldn’t put them away and we knew they’d have the legs to run us deep into the last quarter.”
Exit interviews have already been done with this year’s group and shortlists have been drawn up for summer trials for next year’s class.
“I’d say the strength of this group was their ability to take on honest feedback,” Jago said.
“It was one of the most coachable groups I’ve ever worked with at any level. I’d say our graduating class [top-age players] have pushed themselves, reached their potential . . . and they’ll continue to develop further [as senior footballers].
“Our bottom-agers were devastated they couldn’t send out the top-agers with a premiership.”
Jago said he was delighted to be coming back as the team’s coach next season.
A� er a 0-3 start, the Cannons battled back to parity before jumping into the top four by beating the top two on the ladder in the last two rounds.
“I’ve very much enjoyed the ride,” Jago said.
“I got as much from the players as I hope they got from me,” Jago said.
“I’m blessed to have a good team around me. Ian Kyte [region manager] is a brilliant talent manager and Chris Sevior identi� es talent as well as anyone in the TAC Cup system.”
Summer training for next year’s group starts on November 14.
“We’ve mapped our pre-season and made some adjustments,” Jago said.
“Statistically, we laid fewer tackles than any other team in the TAC Cup. � at’s one immediate area to look at.”\
Back for more: Calder coach Andrew Jago has signed on for another season at the helm. (WAYNE HAWKINS)
