Plan for differential rates stymiedBY EUGENE BENSON
THE state government has promised‘‘swift action’’ against Moonee ValleyCouncil for placing additional ratecharges on venues with late nightliquor licences.
The plan to use a differential ratewas identified in the council’s draftbudget for 2013-14 released lastmonth. If allowed, the rating systemwould generate $63,703 for thecouncil.
The council is set to be the first inthe state to have its proposed differen-tial rates banned under new VictorianCoalition government guidelines.
Local Government Minister Jeanet-te Powell said Moonee Valley Councilhad become ‘‘increasingly creative’’ inseeking to extend its rating and taxing
powers over certain businesses.The council argues the additional
rates received from venues with a late-night liquor licence would be used tofund additional garbage collectionsand street cleaning required aroundthese venues. They would also pay forextra parking enforcement and locallaws officers.
Monash Council has also been cau-tioned by the government for its defer-ential rate plan for gaming venues.
Mrs Powell said she has written tothe Monash and Moonee Valleymayors prohibiting them fromapplying punitive taxes on gaming andcommercial licensed premises. “Swiftaction will be taken against councils toprohibit the use of differential ratesthat contravene the guidelines.
“Local government can no longer
look at certain businesses as a softtouch for revenue raising,” MrsPowell said.
Moonee Valley mayor NarelleSharpe said that contrary to the minis-ter’s quotes, the council did not usedifferential rates to generate increasedrevenue; rather they should be seen asa ‘‘mechanism for fair distribution ofthe rating burden’’.
‘‘The council is awaiting furtheradvice from the Municipal Associ-ation of Victoria (MAV) on whetherthese guidelines are actuallyenforceable. We have kept the existingdifferential rates system in ourproposed budget until there is furtherclarity on this issue.’’
Mrs Powell said the Coalition gov-ernment would seek orders to prohibitthe proposed rates. “It is disappoint-
ing both councils ignored new guide-lines introduced following widespreadconsultation with the community andlocal government sector,” Mrs Powellsaid.
In April, the government’sannouncement that it would stopcouncils using differential ratessparked outrage from the MunicipalAssociation of Victoria, the peak localgovernment body which representsVictoria’s 79 councils.
At the time, MAV president BillMcArthur said the restrictions were adirect assault on the autonomy ofcouncils to make decisions aboutequitable rates.
‘‘The reality is that in order toprovide a discount for some propertytypes, other ratepayers must thereforecontribute more,’’ he said.

SARAH HARRISQUE SERA
To get their L-plate driving hours up, thetwins were taking it in turns to drive fromtheir home in central west NSW to Geelong
for a family reunion.It wasn’t long after they crossed the border
that they noticed a marked change in thescenery.
While Victorians have arguably becomeconditioned to strange signposts whichproliferate along our highways and byways,interstate and overseas visitors have not.
At first the twins were bemused: “Yawning?Take a powernap. Got sore eyes? Take apowernap.”
Then they started gleefully reciting each newsign. “Feeling drowsy? Take a powernap. Openyour eyes. Fatigue kills. Take a powernap.Powernap now.”
Their father, fearing the twin at the wheel waspaying more attention to the roadside than theroad, ordered her to pull over after “Policeenforcing speed” sent them both intoparoxysms. “Really, officer? I have to go thatfast?” the non-driver chortled.
Now, we should take road safety seriouslyand obviously this was what the Transport Acci-dent Commission (TAC) intended, but thetwins’ response raises an issue. There’s a chancethat roadside visual clutter can overload thedriver or cause distraction.
Nearing Geelong the twins — now in the backseat — added “Crawl Low in Smoke” and “Inthe Bay Keep Clear of Big Ships” to their dossierof weird Victorian roadside safety signs.
Sadly they’d missed my seasonal favourite:“Pull over if locusts impair your vision.”
Like why stop at locusts? What if you areblinded by bees or bedazzled by bats?
Now that would be a sign.— sharris@mmpgroup.com.au

Autentico: Phillip Bruno’s pizzas are officially Neapolitan-certified. Picture: Scott McNaughton
A PIZZA festival showcasing the best 12pizzerias in Melbourne and Sydney willfeature Ascot Vale’s own Scoozi.
Scoozi pizza chef Phillip Bruno hasbeen making waves in the food industrysince becoming one of very few Australi-ans to acquire certification from a bodycalled the Associazione Verace PizzaNapoletana in Naples.
Only after completing rigorous theoret-ical and practical assessments with theassociation can pizza makers across theworld be accredited as a ‘true Neapolitanpizza maker’.
The festival, created last year by SBSfood journalist Matteo Rubbettino, hasbeen expanded this year as a result ofenjoying unexpected attention.
The festival will involve a circuit of‘pizza parties’ at the invited pizzerias,where the public can attend and learnmore about the elite pizza-making tech-niques and, of course, dine on the endproduct.
Scoozi has been asked to open its doorsfor the festival on June 18.
Mr Bruno says he’s flattered tobe part of the two-city festival andplans to get along to other pizzerias tak-ing part.
‘‘Being involved with people who knowthe game and are passionate about theindustry will be great. Our day and thefestival will be about making peopleaware of what real pizza is and talkingand sharing about how it should taste andhow to cook it — a big celebration.’’
Mr Bruno says it’s a special time forScoozi. The Union Road eatery is cele-brating its fourth year in business andlooking forward to the high-profile event.

No grade separation, andwhere’s the bus service?
Blocked: Grade separation of the Craigeburn line at Buckley Street, Essendon, was again overlooked.Picture: Scott McNaughton
BY EUGENE BENSON
MOONEE Valley could be considered largelyignored in last week’s Coalition state budget withnone of the infrastructure projects campaignedfor in the past 12 months funded or evenmentioned in the budget papers.
In education spending, Strathmore andEssendon primary schools and Essendon KeilorCollege all missed out on funding for drasticallyneeded maintenance or rebuilding works, andEssendon’s Buckley Street level crossing was notselected for grade separation works to help easelocal traffic congestion.
No money was allocated to fund a bus servicethrough the growing Valley Lake Estate, and theMoonee Ponds and Essendon public transportjunctions have not received funding to makethem disability-compliant.
Essendon Labor MP Justin Madden said itappeared most of the government’s spending wasin Melbourne’s east. ‘‘This isn’t a budget about
the north, the west or the north-west; it’s allabout the seats on the other side of the river It’sabout saving their backsides in their ownelectorates and trying to secure their place in theParliament.
Mr Madden said Essendon and Strathmoreprimaries missing out on maintenance fundingwas a ‘‘key disappointment of the budget.’’
‘‘These school’s have been waiting severalyears. They’ve done all the required planning andpaperwork and this is the third budget in a rowthey haven’t seen any funding for desperatelyneeded building works.’’
Western Metropolitan MP Andrew Elsburysaid the biggest announcement of the budget,money for the east-west tunnel, would be of greatbenefit to Moonee Valley residents. ‘‘It will assistpeople to get from Moonee Valley to the easternsuburbs a lot more efficiently than we now haveto deal with.’’
He said residents would also save an averageof $53 annually from their insurance bills with
the government removing the fire services levyand handing it to local government to collectthrough their rates.
Mr Elsbury also cited the construction of threenew schools across the outer west, costing
$34 million, and $9.7 million allocated to theWestern Region Health Centre as further evid-ence the west had not been ignored.

Budget leaves west’s traffic gridlockedBY EUGENE BENSON
SHADOW Treasurer Tim Pallas has, asexpected, slammed the Coalition’s third budgetsaying it has ‘‘no plan for the west’’.
Speaking at a ‘budget reply’ function at WindyHill last Friday, Mr Pallas criticised one of thebudget’s big-ticket items, the east-west tunnelproposal, saying it lacked detail about where thetunnel exit would be and claiming it would dolittle to alleviate traffic congestion in the west.
‘‘If someone asked about repairing your bath-room with this small level of detail you’d be anidiot to let them,’’ he said.
He said a Labor government would stick closerto Sir Rod Eddington’s 2008 report with a roadtunnel having a ‘west-east’ focus and keeping
$40 million to put towards keeping trucks offwestern suburbs streets.
Moonee Valley south ward councillor JimCusack said he would bring a motion to thecouncil opposing any tunnel that would exit inFlemington.
He said the council already had in its books amotion opposing any tunnel existing in Fleming-ton from when the tunnel was first mooted in2008, but he wanted to add that the communitywould need to be thoroughly consulted beforeanything was considered. ‘‘It would haveenvironmental impacts on Moonee Ponds Creek,potential implications for the high-rise buildingsand their residents, as well as on Travancore Parkand the whole community around Debney Park.’’
Greens MP for the western suburbs Colleen
Hartland said the state budget was mostly badnews for the west but contained a fewcommunity ‘wins’.
‘‘The single biggest disappointment is thegovernment’s complete neglect of addressing ourtransport problems. This government waselected on a commitment to fix public transport.This budget confirms they have abandoned thispromise.’’
She said the community could pat themselveson the back for some great wins with moneycommitted to the Laverton Autism P-12 schooland further budget cuts to community health.
‘‘Compared to the scale of the overall budgetthese wins are morsel size, but they will make ahuge difference to the lives of the families whowill use these services in future.’’
Statewide projects in the budget which willalso impact the western metropolitan region
include:■ Funding to kick-start planning and works at
level crossings at Main roads East and West inSt Albans
■$32 million for maintenance to the WestGate Bridge
■$34 million in Werribee Mercy Hospital’snew 54-bed acute mental health facility
■$9.7 million for the long-awaited replace-ment of the Western Region Health Centre’spublic dental services clinic in Footscray
■$8 million to complete the Western AutisticSchool project, which will ensure a dedicatedP-12 autism school for families in Melbourne’swest.

His family has lived in Airport West for 40 years and Ben Carroll, state MP for Niddrie, now calls Moonee Pondshis patch. He’s a Valley lad through and through and is all about supporting local businesses and causes.
My patch: Ben Carroll MP takes time out for lunch with friends in Keilor Road.
What is your favourite eatery andspot to enjoy a coffee?I have a few favourite restaurants: Biagiosin Keilor Road for Italian; Chiba inMoonee Ponds for Japanese; and JasmineHouse in Niddrie for Chinese. Coffee? If Idon’t scoot across the road to Cafe Tinaand get a skinny latte from Elvis, I’ll go toStrudels or Coffee Addiction in KeilorRoad.
Where do you go to clear yourhead?Three or four times a week I run alongMaribyrnong River. It gives me thinkingtime, it’s tranquil and good discipline.I see lots of people there getting bootcamp-style training and just running pastthem puts me in the mood to staymotivated.
What would you like to change inyour neighbourhood?I’d like to see Keilor Road’s historycelebrated more, maybe with pictorialdisplays. The area is changing so rapidlyinto a cafe/apartment culture and I’d hate
to see the area’s beginnings forgotten inthe process. Improved public transport isanother change I’m after, especially busesand their frequency. I’m an advocate for abus service to Valley Lake estate, some-thing originally promised but not yetdelivered. And our ageing communityliving on Milleara Road needs more bustransport.
What would you never want tosee changed?Our multicultural iden-tity. We have mainly Italian, Greek andVietnamese in our melting pot and I valuetheir contribution and the relationships Ihave formed with them enormously.
A funny thing happened when...A young Avondale Heights woman heardDerryn Hinch mention my doorknockingefforts in her area. When I got to her doorshe called out: ‘‘Mum, Ben Cousin’s at thefront door, just like Derryn said.’’

Weekend peak: Residents are not being properlyinformed about events at Melbourne Showgroundsthat lead to traffic snarls. Picture: Paul Rovere
Showgrounds and racecourse concerts arenot the only major events contributing toregular traffic congestion in Racecourse
and Epsom roads, Flemington. A weekend expoon April 27-28 was an unexpected surprise forresidents confronted with traffic banked backmore than four kilometres on both days.
These days motorists should plan for at leastan extra 30 minutes to drive in and out andthrough Moonee Valley given there is little or nopublicity alerting residents to likely traffic snarls.Without a travel plan, be prepared to be up tohalf an hour late reaching your destination. Amonth ago, busy Maribyrnong Road near Or-ford Street was reduced to one lane causing moretraffic congestion on a busy Saturday afternoon.
Sometimes we’re told to expect delays when few,if any, occur. An electronic board in BuckleyStreet last week alerted us to expect delaysbecause of roadworks these past 10 days and thisweek. Surprisingly, there have been no delays.No roadworks either. Council tells us there maybe occasional disruptions for main service worksby City West Water. No appearance ‘Your Wor-ship’. Council should consider advertising in themedia and its website where traffic delays areexpected to occur so that we can avoid surprisesand plan our travel accordingly. And the RASV(Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria) shouldbe required to advertise potential traffic issueswhen major events are to be held at the show-grounds.
Labor’s vision for Moonee ValleyNiddrie MP Ben Carroll gave Moonee Valleybusiness leaders a welcome opportunity to discussthe state budget at a breakfast last Friday.
This was a rare opportunity to hear Labor’sviews on the issues directly relevant to MooneeValley and the broader western community.Shadow Treasurer Tim Pallas answered questionsfrom the locals on his party’s views on key issues

Toilet plan’s caught shortBY EUGENE BENSON
Left waiting: The call of MP Ben Carroll and local traders Jan Eugene and John Pallisco for anew toilet block was not heeded in the council budget. Picture: Michael Copp
SHOPPERS on Keilor Road in Niddriewill get no relief with Moonee ValleyCouncil refusing to spend a penny on anew toilet block in the busy shoppingstrip.
Niddrie Road traders and Niddrie MPBen Carroll had banded together to lobbythe council to improve amenities andbring the street more into line with othershopping destinations in Moonee Valley.
The project failed to garner any cash inthe council’s draft budget for 2013-14.
Moonee Valley mayor Narelle Sharpesaid that, unfortunately, no new toiletblock would be built in the next financialyear, but the Keilor Road structure plan(under development) would include plansfor the road’s shopping centre that wouldlikely bring improved amenities.
‘‘We have grand plans for the shoppingcentre area. We are not sure how they aregoing to progress, but that’s somethingthat is definitely in the wings.’’
When The Weekly inspected theexisting toilets in March the baby changerooms in the toilet block were padlocked
shut, the women’s cubicles had no locksand the roof was collapsing. The men’ssection had a broken sink and was beingused as something of a storage place forempty beer cans.
The state of the toilets dominated a
recent Niddrie Traders Association meet-ing and led to a budget submission to thecouncil.
Association committee member TessShepherd said there were 165 shops onKeilor Road and they deserved better.

Role’s musicto her earsBY EUGENE BENSON
ESSENDON songbird Piera Dennerstein ismaking waves in the opera world.
Despite being just 21, Ms Dennerstein hasbeen cast as a lead in the upcoming SavoyOpera Company Production of Gilbert andSullivan’s The Sourcerer.
The former Penleigh and Essendon Gram-mar student says she’s always loved musicand singing but has gravitated towardsopera.
‘‘I’ve always had a great interest in musicand both of my parents are into classicalmusic so I’ve had it around and it’s familiarto me.
‘‘I think what drew me to opera particu-larly was I enjoy acting as well as singing, tofully emote and tell the story of the music.
‘‘I felt more drawn to opera rather thanmusical theatre.’’
Having just completed her third year of adouble music degree, Ms Dennerstein hashad plenty on her plate but is now addingconstant rehearsal for The Sourcerer to thelist.
The two-act comic opera tells the story of alove potion getting loose in a village causingits residents to fall in love with the firstperson they see — resulting in the pairing ofmismatched couples with hilarious results.
The opera premiers on May 24. Fordetails visit savoyoperacompany.com

Kokoda program on track
Hard work: One of thesights of the KokodaTrack is the IsuravaMemorial inscribed withthe words courage,endurance, mateshipand sacrifice — thevalues of Australiansoldiers who foughtalong the track.
Picture: Eugene Benson
PARTICIPANTS in this year’s Moonee ValleyKokoda program are preparing for their gut-wrenching expedition across the famous KokodaTrack.
The program was developed to break downbarriers between police and youth in MooneeValley’s south.
But now it has become a program that fostersyoung leaders and allows students from differentbackgrounds to bond.
The program will again involve students from
Flemington’s Mount Alexander College andSt Bernard’s College in Essendon.
Police from Moonee Valley and the city opera-tions response unit will be joining the students onthe 96-kilometre trek and site of one of the mostfamous battles of the Second World War.
Program co-ordinator Senior Constable DelKing says preparations are ‘‘going along asusual’’ with walks up and down Mt Macedon,stair-climbing at the flats in Flemington andtrekking the hills around St Bernard’s College.
Heartfelt lessonsGeorgia Booth, Kate Baines and Courtney Walker of St Columba’s College, Essendon, teach a class
of 40 in Laguna Secondary School in the Philippines. The school introduced its Philippines Immersion
Program in 1992 to make students aware of environmental issues. But after experiencing the
injustices and poverty faced by people in the Philippines, the girls became even more engaged in the
plight of the Filipinos. The program ended several years later but was resurrected in 2011. After a
lengthy application process, 13 girls arrived in Manila last December. The tour is affiliated with non-
government organisation Bahay Tuluyan. The experience was moving for all participants, with the girls
having a similar reaction to those who took part in the tour many years before them. To read about
their experiences in full, visit mooneevalley.com.au Picture: Fiona Hili

BY EUGENE BENSON
THE Royal Flying Doctor Service Victorialanded at Ascot Vale Primary School lastweek with a life-sized mock-up of an RFDSaircraft complete with medical equipment.
The RFDS is visiting Victorian schools togive pupils hands-on knowledge of the workbeing done by the service.
The education program also explains therole the service has played in Australia sinceit started in 1928, and links its history toschool studies in history, geography, maths,English and health.
Program manager Tom Ryan said kidsloved the simulator that is part of the visits.
‘‘Kids are encouraged to try everything on,push buttons and get an idea what it’s like tobe a pilot, nurse or doctor on a Flying Doctorplane.”
The Royal Flying Doctor Service Victoriadelivers air and road transport and ruralhealth programs, as well as raising funds foremergency equipment in other parts ofAustralia.
Mr Ryan said public support and generous
donations by Victorians played a crucial rolein keeping the service up in the air.

INSIDESTORY
Peeping from beneath the blunt, heavy fringe, the trademark tresses tumbling over her left shoulder, Judith Durham’s look remains as distinctive as the incredible voice.
Squint and you could be in the Sixties, only as Athol Guy jokes, “My glasses have got thinner and the hair has disappeared.”
It’s the last day of rehearsals in South Melbourne’s Deluxe Audio studio before The Seekers embark on a national concert tour to celebrate their golden jubilee.
Come down from the chill autumn mornings of the Macedon Ranges he’s called home for the past 45 years, Guy is wearing a surgical mask to protect his fellow band members from a cold ahead of their fi rst sell-out performance in Geelong.
Whipping it off for the photo shoot, he scarcely allows himself to breathe over the diminutive Durham. Still they hug and clown between shots with the easy familiarity of old, old friends. Watching them, it’s hard to believe there was ever a 25-year hiatus in relations between Durham and her fellow band members.
While Guy, Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger maintained close relations and would re-form three-quarters of The Seekers several times, it seemed that when Durham walked away it was for good. That they remained apart for almost fi ve times longer than they were together is all the more astonishing when you consider just how many records they set in those few early years.
What must it have been like when The Seekers became Australia’s fi rst-ever supergroup hitting the Top Five in Australia, the UK and the US simultaneously?
They had headed to England for what was to have been a 10-week working holiday in 1964 – almost crossing paths with The Beatles, who caused hysteria on what turned out to be their only Australian tour.
If, as John Lennon famously observed, The Beatles became “bigger than Jesus”, The Seekers at their peak were bigger still. Once described by a reviewer as “three bank tellers and a secretary”, they had the power to dislodge the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who and The Beatles from the charts.
But as The Seekers’ popularity grew, Essendon-born Durham was slowly being crippled by eating disorders and anxiety.
“My weight problems had started when I was 15 or 16,” she recalls. “Being an overweight person in blues, jazz and even classical singing was quite acceptable, so I could see myself in those roles.
“When we were catapulted into the pop world I became even more self conscious about the fact I didn’t live up to the image of Carnaby Street and the swinging ’60s.
“I didn’t even realise Britain was swinging when we left Australia. I was still running around trying to match my
handbags and gloves like the Queen. “She was kind of my role model.”
Only the Queen never abdicated. Durham, beloved as she was, did.
“I needed to leave, I needed to do something else. I couldn’t have stayed a Seeker my whole life,” she says today.
Back then, caught in her own bubble, she had no real inkling of the pain she caused fans or even “the boys” as she fondly refers to her fellow band members.
It was perhaps hardest for Woodley, who lost both his band family and his mother within six months of Durham’s departure. He dislikes dwelling on that period but, when pushed, admits when they fi nally came together again there was “unfi nished business and things to talk about. You don’t just wipe away 25 years.”
But with the simple, humble words, “I’m sorry if I ever hurt you”, Durham did just that.
When The Seekers fi nally returned to the studio, the musical rapport that fi rst wowed those lucky 30 or 40 who’d gathered at the Treble Clef on Toorak Road for their fi rst public appearance that seminal Monday night in December 1962 was, in Potger’s words, “absolutely instant”.
“We got together in a little recording studio in South Yarra and Bruce and I fi red up our guitars, Athol fi red up his bass and we started singing I’ll Never Find Another You. It was magic. I still have the cassette. We are putting it on eBay in 2062,” he laughs.
The subsequent concert video of the “little celebration” for the anniversary of the 25-year reunion knocked Michael Jackson’s Thriller 10th Anniversary video off the No.1 spot. The Seekers have been coming together and setting new records on and off ever since.
Last month a portrait of the quartet was hung in the National Gallery in Canberra – 45 years after they were jointly honoured as Australians of the Year.
Between an in-your-face image of Australia’s fi rst lady of rock Chrissy Amphlett and the late Howard Arkley’s airbrushed interpretation of fellow [now former] heroin addict Nick Cave, the work by Helen Edwards looks like a family portrait.
Bold, brassy, larger-than-life Amphlett had died just days before this interview, a fact not lost on The Seekers.
All appreciate the fragility of life. Durham, who with her husband Ron Edgeworth survived a serious car accident at Kyneton in 1990, lost the love of her life to motor neurone disease four years later.
Guy had a lucky escape last year when his BMW – stopped in the emergency lane on the Calder Freeway at Gisborne – was rear-ended at 100km/h by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel.
More recently Potger had a tram crash-test his Volvo in Bourke Street.
“We’ve all had our scrapes,” Guy says. “Yet here we are. We thank God we are still able to get up and play together – the only group as I understand it still together in its iconic form 50 years later.’’
In retrospect, could they have maintained the juggernaut that was The Seekers or did Durham really do them alla favour?
“It became rather academic. We went our separate ways virtually overnight,” Woodley says.
“We were in a syndrome where if you didn’t have a hit with every record you didn’t have a career. We were getting songs like the daughter of Georgy Girl and the son of Morningtown Ride sent to us – there was a lot of sameness to it,” Guy recalls.
“It is extremely diffi cult to judge from within. We made a collective decision we had perhaps peaked and were coasting or cruising,” Potger explains. “But the fans didn’t think that and they showed it in no uncertain terms when we broke up. They kept it all alive.”
What’s the magic to The Seekers? “If only we knew,” Guy laughs. “It is a very inexact science,
but we haven’t manufactured anything more than what happened when we fi rst opened our mouths together on night one.”
“It’s the simple melodies that people can easily pick up on and sing to themselves and it makes people feel good together,” Durham ventures. “It’s the same ingredient as Christmas carols.”
The coffee shop where the quartet fi rst sang is now the headquarters of Audio Hearing Melbourne and while their original audience may well be customers, the Seekers still sound like Christmas … come round again. �

As Australia’s fi rst international supergroup, The Seekers were in a world of their own, but 50 years on they’re now much happier to share. Sarah Harris reports

Budding scientist has winning formula
Chemical travel: James Ha has been accepted into the prestigious London International Youth Science Forum.Picture: Michael Copp
BY ROBERT FEDELE
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar’s year 12student James Ha has been selected toattend the prestigious London International
Youth Science Forum in July.The 17-year-old took part in the National
Youth Science Forum in January, a 12-day resid-ential program run in both Canberra and Perth.
He was one of more than 400 students fromaround the country to take part.
James has been selected to represent Australiaat the London International Youth ScienceForum, where he will be one of only 10 Australi-ans.
‘‘I was genuinely ecstatic to be accepted,’’ hesays.
‘‘It’s an incredibly selective process and I wasup against the top science students from aroundthe country.
‘‘In the next couple of years I will be makingsome career-shaping decisions so to have thechance to experience cutting-edge science at aninternational level is a fantastic springboard intothe future.’’
James developed a passion for science in his
early years of high school, citing an infinitepossibilities in science as a major attraction.
He says he is thrilled to be representing Austra-lia and to be meeting other students from aroundthe world to get an understanding of science on aglobal scale.
Before jetting off the Essendon resident needsto raise $10,000 to cover the costs of the trip andhas so far reached $5000.
He is seeking sponsorship from local busi-nesses and and Rotary clubs.
He hopes to study science at MelbourneUniversity and then complete a post-graduatedegree overseas after his year 12 studies.
He is also considering law and politics.‘‘I think there needs to be greater emphasis
placed upon science communication and convey-ing what those in the field know to the rest of thepublic and that could be a potential career pathfor me.

Hotel-room comfort on wheelsEwan Kennedy road tests the fourth generation Range Rover
Immaculate standard: Large and imposing, the all-new Range Rover works brilliantly.
Julie and I settled into our leather-trimmedlounge seats. We turned on the TV, couldn’tfind anything to interest us, so went instead
to a movie on the DVD player.It was time to get moving to meet friends at a
new coffee spot. So I fired up the superchargedV8 engine in the front of our hotel room and setoff down the road.
The all-new Range Rover really is like a mobilehotel room. It is spacious, luxurious and finishedto an immaculate standard in top-line leather,timber and alloy.
I wanted to key the details of the new coffeeplace into the Rangie’s sat-nav.
Not a problem. We pushed the pause buttonon the DVD, keyed in the coffee shop’s address,then hit ‘play’ on the DVD. Julie put on head-phones to watch the movie and I looked at thesame centrally mounted screen to see the satellitenavigation route.
That’s right! The same screen. From thedriver’s seat I watched the sat-nav map; from thefront passenger’s seat the movie was playing.
New, fourth generation Range Rover is consid-erably larger than the original launched morethan 40 years ago, but it retains enough visualfeatures to instantly make its heritage obvious.
The previous Range Rover was disgustinglyoverweight. The designers have managed to pull420kg out of the new one. This weight reductionhas been achieved despite the vehicle being signi-ficantly larger and more spacious. Improvementsto the engines, transmissions and aerodynamicshave resulted in fuel and CO2 cuts of as much as22 per cent. That’s clever.
Supercharging a five-litre V8 petrol engineresults in a powerplant that can rocket thismobile hotel room from rest to 100km/h in5.4 seconds. The boot is huge and easy to loadthrough the two-piece, horizontally split tailgate.
The gen-four Range Rover is even morecapable than its forebears in serious off-roadconditions — and that’s saying something.
Prices start at a big $168,900 and range all theway up to a sky-high $240,100 for the super-charged V8 petrol.

On Wembley Avenue in Yarraville, just offFrancis Street, there’s a strip of small shopsand one can’t help but stand out with its
bright pink cushions along the front window.Mishra’s Kitchen is the epitome of a good local
Indian, slightly off the beaten track, colourful,bright and filled with the rich perfumes of amyriad of delicious spices.
Sajeev Mishra works behind the counter in theopen kitchen, kneading dough for naan breads,watching his dishes on the stove, putting platesand takeaway containers together.
He co-ordinates dishes like a conductor withhis orchestra, bringing all the different aspects ofthis layered cuisine together to create deliciousand, in this instance, very well-priced dishes.
There’s a small selection of entrees, includingSamosa (2 for $5), which are almost rotund frombeing stuffed with gently spiced vegetables. Ifyou’re a tandoori fan, like my children, Mishra’sTandoori Murgh (chicken) won’t disappoint.
Order half ($10) or a whole chicken ($18)from the tandoor oven. Lamb, fish and prawndishes are also done in this style and you receivemildly spiced, slightly sweet tender pieces ofchicken with a small fresh salad.
From a good choice of curries, we tried thelamb rogan josh ($12) and asked for it atmedium heat. It’s robust in spice but notoverpowering with lots of cumin and corianderseed.
The Jhinga Madras ($14) is a generous servingof prawns in a rich, creamy sauce of coconutmilk with the savoury addition of mustard seeds;it’s bold, sweet and complex.
There’s a large choice of vegetarian dishes, allfor $10 and including Baigar Baigan, a texturaleggplant curry, and the classic Palak Paneer, amix of spinach puree and Indian cheese all boundtogether with mild curry spice. The service ischarming, thoughtful and friendly and Mishra is
a constant presence ensuring that all his guestsdining in the small room are happy and that thetakeaway dishes go out on time (there’s deliveryto nearby areas). Enjoy Mishra’s; it’s worth a visitand hard to miss — the window with the brightpink cushions.

Varied focusat all levels
From humble beginnings nearly 26 yearsago, Overnewton Anglican CommunityCollege has grown to become a Prep-Year
12 school with campuses at Keilor and TaylorsLakes and a separate year 9 campus.
Principal Jim Laussen attributes the college’ssuccess to its rich and varied academic and co-curricular program at all year levels.
‘‘Our success is also linked with parents ofstudents contributing 18 hours of service to thecollege each term.
‘‘This is key to the success of students’experiences here because they know they havethe support and commitment of their parentsbehind them,’’ Mr Laussen says.
A hallmark of the Junior School is a strongfocus on literacy and numeracy, alongside anenquiry-based approach to the broadercurriculum.
‘‘A ‘You Can Do It’ program is anotheremphasis’’, says Mr Laussen, ‘‘which is based ondeveloping confidence, persistence,organisation, getting along and resilience.’’
Art Costa’s ‘Habits of Mind’, highlighting 16
habits to help individuals be successful, isprovided to Middle School students.
‘‘They are asked to consider these habits whenplanning, reflecting on and undertaking tasksand in their personal endeavours,’’ says MrLaussen.
‘‘And Canowindra, the year 9 campus, allowsstudents to focus on their individual develop-ment and maintain peer interaction through anintegrated hands-on program.’’
One student reaping the benefits ofOvernewton’s education is year 11 student,Dino Vlachos, who was presented with a Spiritof Anzac award from the Premier for his essayon the Anzac spirit.
Skills to reach goalsFinding a well-rounded school that caters to
students who want to succeed in theperforming arts, sport or other academic
industries can be challenging, but Essendon KeilorCollege aims to provide each student with theskills to achieve in their chosen field.
The multicultural college – with sister schools inVietnam, Italy and Japan — runs a VocationalEducation and Training (VET) Sport andRecreation Program designed to prepare boys forthe AFL draft.
And for performing arts students, the annualmusical is a great way to learn about the industry.Arts graduates have gone on to study at theVictorian College of the Arts and NationalInstitute of Dramatic Arts, among others.
“90 per cent of our students go on to study atuniversity or TAFE,” principal David Adamsonsays.
Next year the college will undergo an excitingchange. Year 10 students will move to theEssendon campus – previously only VCE – and thejunior campuses – Niddrie and East Keilor – willcater solely to year 7 to 9 students.
“The move will mean year 10 students will haveaccess to a wider range of VCE subjects on the
larger senior campus. The junior campuses will besmaller so we can get to know each student andtheir families and provide specialised programsfor each year level.”
Tours of both junior campuses will take place inEducation Week on Monday, Wednesday andFriday at 9.15am.
Bookings are essential.

Forward thinkingModern for its time when built in 1975,
Gladstone Views Primary School mayhave a few years added to its edifice but it
continues to be a forward thinker in theeducation field.
With 280 students, the school has a proudplace in the community, says principal MichaelWest, and is well-regarded for preparing studentsfor secondary school.
Gladstone Views has a strong focus on mathsand science, and opened a new Science andDiscovery Centre earlier this year.
Mr West says the centre supports the school’sphilosophy on engagement, curiosity and 21stcentury learning.
The school’s outstanding numeracy andliteracy programs have also garnered interestfrom teachers in Australia and overseas.
“We have quite a lot of educators visiting tosee our successful programs in action and tounderstand why our students are so passionateabout their learning while achieving greatsuccess,” says Mr West.
The school values tradition, innovation andexcellence which is supported by a staff ofgraduate and experienced teachers. One staff
member recently celebrated 50 years ineducation.
Gladstone Views students, modern facilitiesand innovative programs will be on displayduring Education Week with an open day, familypicnic and science night.
The student choir and dance ensemble will beperforming in the local shopping centre.
Focus onsuccess
On its elevated spot above Steele Creek inNiddrie, Rosehill Secondary College notonly enjoys views over the Maribyrnong
River valley but also benefits from a continuousupgrade of facilities.
Principal Peter Rouse says the school’s corebusiness is student learning and improvement ofstudent achievement. It has a relentless focus onteacher instructional practice that puts the schoolhigh on the achievement list.
‘‘We are aware of the need to challenge ourstudents and the importance of embedding aculture of learning, thinking and collaboration.
‘‘Effort and the need for our learners todevelop independence and motivation are of theutmost concern,’’ Mr Rouse says.
The performing and visual arts programs offergreat variety, including fashion design, art, visualcommunication, media, music, dance and drama.Rehearsals are in full swing for this July’s circus-themed dance cabaret and the May instrumentalmusic concert.
Sport and physical education is another majorfocus, with the school having considerable
success at School Sport Victoria levels. Team andindividual inter-school and house sports promoteparticipation and opportunities to learn, growand develop friendships in the school and widercommunity.
The school encourages embedding ofinformation and communications technologiesin all areas of the curriculum, supported by a 1:1Netbook Program, desktop computer labs,interactive whiteboards and some iPads.
Professional development is being provided forall staff members to support electronic learning.

Great Lionsvilletradition continues
An artist’s impression of what Essendon Terrace will look like when complete.
During the 60s and 70s Lions Club Essendonwas busy raising funds to purchase landand build a retirement village. More than
50 years later the successful village, Lionsville,continues to serve the local senior community.
“A not-for-profit company, Lionsville contin-ues to be a project of the Lions Club of Essendon,of which I am a member,” Lionsville businessdirector Stephen Brown says.
“We embrace the ethics and high moral stand-ards of Lions International with the support ofLions members, the local community and skilledprofessionals.”
Mr Brown says Lionsville is a provider ofindependent living accommodation for peopleover 65. “The village-style community encour-ages and assists residents to engage in social andrecreational activities while being as independentas possible.”
Lionsville resident Joan loves living in thecommunity. “At Lionsville you can have your
privacy but you need never be lonely; you justpop your head out the door to mingle withpeople.”
With a growing number of seniors interested inliving in the community, Lionsville is addingmore accommodation on site. Essendon Terraceis the first stage of the regeneration of Lionsville.It will have an additional 36 independent-livingunits for purchase.
“Over the next five years accommodation willbe rebuilt to modern standards in order for us tocontinue to provide the highest standards pos-sible to our seniors. We’re very proud of our longtradition of community service in the Essendonarea and we are thrilled that Essendon Terracecontinues our commitment and presents a verycomfortable modern living amenity.’’

An Open Letter to the people of our District.
My name is Sam Pennisi. I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve got some things to share with you.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Forty years have passed since I opened Pennisi Real Estate in Essendon. It was 1973, the year that both Cathy Freeman and Kieren Perkins were born. Gough Whitlam was Prime Minister. Rupert Hamer was our Premier. The Commonwealth Government had just lowered the voting age from 21 to 18; despite that hundreds of 18 to 21 year-old diggers had died in Vietnam. 1973 was also the year that we got out of that heart-breaking conflict. Back then Australia’s population was a mere 13.3 million. Today we have grown by around 70 per cent to more than 22 million.
How things have changed since the day that I (nervously, I admit) opened my little real estate office. Back then it was just me and a secretary. That’s all I could afford. Until that is, something began to happen. The local community began to support me. My business started to pick up. I had a simple philosophy – I believed in working hard and I believed in taking really good care of customers. I also wanted to be innovative. I was always looking for new and improved ways of serving clients. There was someone I most wanted to help – you, the residents of my area.
As the years rolled on business kept improving. I was lucky. Or, perhaps, as the saying goes: ‘the harder I worked, the luckier I got’. I quickly learned the importance of two words to say to my customers. They are two words that I’d like to say now – to all the people of this district (including the more than 30,000 families who have graced us with their business over the past 40 years). Those two words are important and they need to be said. THANK YOU!
Thank you for sticking by us for so many years. Thank you for being with us in boom times and gloom times. Thank you for being there after disaster struck at 5am one Saturday morning in 1990. There was a terrible fire. Our office burned to the ground. But, thanks to the support of our staff and the community, we were re-located and back in business in 48 hours. People cared, they really cared. Thank you.
It has been almost 20 years now since my son, Andrew Pennisi, and I made one of the biggest and, as it turns out, one of the most popular decisions in the history of Pennisi Real Estate. We decided to embrace the ‘ethics in real estate’ philosophy of consumer advocate, Neil Jenman.
All my life, my business practices have been built on the principle of integrity. I believe that ‘your word is your bond’. The Jenman ‘Approved’ business systems are perfect for Pennisi Real Estate and our clients. We conduct our business on what’s best for our clients. The interests of our clients come before our own interests. You, our customers, have loved this approach. The bunches of flowers, the bottles of wine and the boxes of chocolates that arrive regularly in our office from our happy clients are testament that we are on the right track.
Yes, we are proud to have been serving our community for 40 years. But, as my son Andrew rightly told me the other night, ‘We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you, our customers.’ Thank you.
Andrew Pennisi was only three when I opened Pennisi Real Estate. Today he has taken over the reins. I am proud to say that he’s taking great care of our customers. He’s an innovator who’s leading the way in the real estate world. With his effort and your support, I think Pennisi Real Estate will be around for another 40 years – at least.
Thank you again. Thanks for your years of support. And thank you to the dozens of people who work so hard at Pennisi Real Estate. Without you we couldn’t make any customers smile!
My best wishes to you all,
P.S. Back in 1973, the Bombers finished fourth on the VFL ladder.

Airport Westdisposes oferrant LionsBY TEO PELLIZZERI
AIRPORT West resisted a Maribyr-nong Park comeback on Saturday topost its most impressive win yet sincepromotion to Essendon District Foot-ball League Premier.
The Lions were wildly inaccurate infront of goal and paid the price in the8.21 (69) to 12.7 (79) result at MonkOval.
A scoreboard error had the Eaglesplayers wrongly believing Maribyr-nong Park had hit the front in thefinal quarter after coming back from34 points down at half time.
But the extra desperation wouldonly benefit Airport West, whichsteadied to kick away after Maribyr-nong Park drew to within four pointson two occasions in the final term.
The Lions comeback should havehit the front anyway, given some ofthe gilt-edged misses by MaribyrnongPark players through the game.
Airport West had kick-started thebuild-up to its handsome half-timelead with three late goals in the firstquarter.
Lindsay Scown’s mark secondsbefore the quarter-time siren andaccurate kick gave the Eagles a20-point advantage, boosted to 34 atthe long break by second-quartergoals to Marcus Kenny, John Mackayand Clayton Rogers.
Maribyrnong Park kicked nineconsecutive points to go into thesheds with 1.10.
Airport West’s goals came fromstinging counter-attacks, launched bybooming kicks out of defence by
Gavin Urquhart or Brendon Godden.Maribyrnong Park by contrast was
unable to find marking targets in thecorridor, with Eagle Troy Barberodoing a lockdown job on forward tar-get Jack Anthony.
The third quarter picked up wherethe second left off, with MaribyrnongPark kicking three more behinds.
But Trent Lee’s goal 12 minutesinto the quarter would be followed bya quick clearance and LachlanThompson goal within a minute. Sud-denly the gap was back to 20 points.
Thompson kicked two more for thequarter with a Michael Musicka goalfrom 50 metres out on the boundaryin between, leaving MaribyrnongPark within a goal at the last change.
But even with the momentum of thecomeback going, the misses kept com-ing. Musicka and Andrew Panayimissed gettable set shots early in thelast to draw the Lions within fourpoints.
Rogers and Cameron Leeexchanged goals, before a Rogers goalfrom a free kick was followed soonafter by a roving close-range snapfrom Trent Skorsis to open the gapback out to 16 points.
Maribyrnong Park lost MarcusSmith to injury at half-time and sentAnthony back onto the field in thesecond half even though the forwardwas limping from contest to contest.
Airport West seemingly put MarcusKenny in cotton wool at half-timewith a foot injury but threw they keyforward back on to take an opponentfor a short spell during MaribyrnongPark’s comeback.
Sense of optimism as high-flying Eagles aim for top fourAIRPORT West can almost tick one box already,it will be staying in EDFL Premier this season.
But the ambitions of the promoted division 1premier were always far greater than simply sur-vival, and results through the first five weeksinstead show a club that can now realisticallyaim for the top four.
The Eagles are fifth with three wins and twolosses, while the relegation battle already lookslike the domain of winless teams Oak Park andPascoe Vale.
‘‘I’ve had a chat to the boys about expectation,there’s a lot of talk from supporters who haven’tbeen up in the top division for a while who justwant to stay up,’’ Airport West coach AdamContessa said.
‘‘We’ve got some handy players who were outtoday, we have got capabilities, and we’ve got tohave that belief.
‘‘Wins now are bonding the group and givingthem the trust and belief that we are a contender,and these are the games we have to win.
‘‘Marby, Douttas next week, Avondale in acouple of weeks, those will really determine whomakes the four at the end of the year.’’
Contessa said the decision to bring injured for-ward Simon Kenny back on in the final quarterof Saturday’s win was Kenny’s.
The league-leading goalkicker (27) is battlingplantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the heel.
‘‘I said ‘we won’t risk you’ but he was desper-ate to come back on, but you could see he justwasn’t right.
‘‘He thought he might be able to take a bigbody in a one-on-one contest, but we’ll see howhe pulls up.
‘‘He’s been in good form but it’s a good sign towin with Marcus basically playing half a game.’’
Recruit John Mackay from Eastern FootballLeague club Lilydale was a mister fix it across thelines for Airport West when Kenny went down.‘‘John started as a full-forward at Lilydale andwe pushed him to centre half-forward, then awing,’’ Contessa said. — Teo Pellizzeri
