NEWS + SPORT + THE WESTS BEST PROPERTY GUIDE

By Goya Dmytryshchak

Williamstown water police have urged people to learn from the boating tragedy that claimed the lives of three shermen on Port Phillip Bay.

On Monday aernoon, the mood was bleak at Altona boat ramp as news trickled in that a third body had been found aer the three men went missing on Sunday.

Steven Do, 30, his brother David, 31, and their friend, Phong Nguyen, 35, all from Sunshine West, had launched their tinny from Altona about 11am on Sunday.

Senior Sergeant Mark ORourke said the trio bought their small aluminium punt ve months ago and were inexperienced.

I think, essentially, its just theyve gone out in really ordinary conditions in a boat that wasnt suitable in those conditions, he said. is time of year, your timeframe for survival in the water, being 13 degrees, is not very long.

Seaholme Boat Owners Association member Ramon Harris described Sundays conditions on the bay as treacherous.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Dean Stewart said the average wind speed was about 30 knots, or 55km/h, and waves would have been up to 1.5 metres overnight.

It was not until a sherman spotted the trios upturned boat about 4pm on Sunday that the mens family members and police realised something was amiss.

Four Coast Guard boats, a police boat, a helicopter and search and rescue squad divers trawled a 120-square-nautical-mile area for the three men, while family members kept a vigil at Altona boat ramp.

Julie Lieu, the girlfriend of Steven Do, said the men always enjoyed shing together.

Life isnt meant to be fair, she said.One mans body was found about 10am on

Monday, nine kilometres south-east of where the upturned boat was found on Sunday aernoon.

e body of the second sherman was found about two hours later, about four kilometres south of the rst.

e third body was located about 2.30pm, about a kilometre north of where the second body was located.

According to police, the men were wearing lifejackets.

Senior Sergeant ORourke said there were no restrictions on that type of boat being in the bay, but this one had been more suited to inland waterways.

Boat tragedy warning

He said there were a number of things people could learn from the tragedy: use a suitable vessel for the conditions, be aware of your boating and swimming capabilities, and wait for favourable bay conditions.

Make sure you have all the correct safety equipment and you know how to use it, in particular, PFDs, which are personal otation devices, lifejackets.

Let people know where youre going and,

again, have a plan in place in case something goes wrong so you can self-rescue and be able to survive.

and remove debt. NTEU VU president Paul Adams accepts VU has been heavily hit by massive funding cuts but questions the decision to cut sta and close campuses while looking to expand into the outer east. It looks to us as if money is being taken out of the western suburbs and going into the eastern suburbs, he said. We think this is a misguided initiative.

Mr Adams said the possible Berwick move contrasted with up to 80 further sta still to be cut from the university. He said the Victoria University Act required the university to develop and provide educational, cultural,

Victoria University is defending its possible takeover of a campus in Melbournes outer-east while cutting courses, closing campuses and shedding jobs in the western suburbs.

VU has set aside $3 million to investigate taking over Monash Universitys Berwick campus, despite withdrawing from campuses such as Melton and Sunbury in Melbournes rapidly growing west.

e National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) has questioned VUs priorities, yet the universitys management insists the short-term pain is necessary to see VU

better positioned in the competitive tertiary education marketplace.

e situation coincides with an auditor-generals report showing the cut-ravaged university last year lost millions of dollars.

VUs operating budget to the end of 2014 was $423.7 million, with almost $16.8 million in savings from redundancies but with a $16 million operating decit.

A VU spokeswoman said the university had incurred signicant restructuring costs while making radical but necessary changes, such as cutting sta, in a move to improve cash-ow

professional, technical and vocational services and, in particular, to foster participation in post-secondary education for persons living or working in the western metropolitan region of Melbourne.

e VU spokeswoman said the university was investing $58 million predominantly into western campuses. We have plans to see old and under-used buildings, like the Melton and Sunbury campuses, substituted by new learning links modern, collaborative spaces.

Opposition mounts as VU turns away from west

A public spat between two Maribyrnong councillors has escalated with tit-for-tat accusations of petulance and fabrication.

Star Weekly last week reported claims Star Weekly last week reported claims Star Weeklyby Cr Catherine Cumming that she only apologised for implying Cr Michael Clarke was racist to save ratepayers $20,000 in tribunal costs.

But Cr Clarke has labelled the suggestion a complete and utter fabrication that ignores her role in racking up a $15,000 bill on mediation.

While Cr Cummings apology to me was heartfelt, her subsequent description of the circumstances around her actions is a very poor commentary on this councillors character, he said.

I feel like a victim being told that they deserved the abuse. Her words were hurtful and untrue.

Cr Cumming apologised at a recent council meeting for telling Cr Clarke last October he could be seen as racist over his decision to nominate fellow Labor councillor Martin Zakharov as mayor, rather than backing Cr Nam Quach, who has Vietnamese heritage.

Cr Clarke said the tirade occurred at a mayoral function in front of Cr Martin Zakharov and a council ocer and within earshot of the public.

Yet Cr Cumming maintains the conversation was private and could not have been overheard. She said she bore no responsibility for the $15,000 bill as she should never have had to apologise because it was what she truly felt.

Cr Clarke labelled her claim that she only apologised to save ratepayers money as an absolute joke.

Maribyrnong council would not release any details or costs relating to councillor mediation.

Emotional mourners broke into song and laughter during Fridays state funeral for Joan Kirner, Williamstowns favourite daughter.

Victorias only female premier was farewelled in a moving service at Williamstown Town Hall.

Caroline Hogg, a minister in the Kirner government, performed a reading from Shakespeares Cymbeline and described Ms Kirner as the bravest woman I ever knew.

Cousin Max Cole recalled that even as a child Ms Kirner had been committed to justice.

When we were young kids, Joans dog got caught by the Essendon council dog-catcher, Dr Cole said. We crept up to the dog cart while the dog-catcher was chasing another dog down

the street and opened the door. We and ve dogs ran for our lives.

Former Labor state secretary Jenny Beacham recalled Ms Kirners ability to empower others.

She made us believe in ourselves and you could do anything aer talking to her, she said.

Former Labor MP Candy Broad said Ms Kirner was tireless in promoting women and community whenever, wherever she could.

She could be stubborn, wilful and down- right unreasonable in her pursuit of these goals, but we are all better o because of that determination, she said.

Yorta Yorta Aboriginal leader Paul Briggs said Ms Kirner was troubled by the poverty and injustice a section of her community was suering. Noting that Ms Kirner was an Essendon fan, he recalled a couple of Aboriginal

women humorously vowing to put a curse on John Elliot and the Carlton Football Club.

Although John Elliot is no longer president of the Blues, you may argue the curse is still eective, he said.

e funeral was attended by present and past premiers including Daniel Andrews, John Cain, Steve Bracks, Ted Baillieu and Je Kennett, as well as Opposition leader Matthew Guy and federal Opposition leader Bill Shorten.

As Ms Kirners pallbearers started to leave, loudspeakers played Paul Kellys From little things big things grow.things big things grow.things big things grow

Mourners slowly streamed out, crying and singing. Even in death, Ms Kirner took the community with her.

An Altona Meadows couple who racked up a $7.7 million debt on a loan secured against their home and a Footscray pizza shop have had their repayments slashed aer a court found the wifes signature on the mortgage documents had been forged.

Titles Strata Management pursued action against Frank and Luisa Nirta for failing to pay back $635,437 lent to pay o an earlier $450,000 loan that was in default.

e Supreme Court of Victoria heard Mr Nirta told his wife he drew the rst loan to help associates invest in a Northern Territory camel farm but he told the court the funds were to be used to buy an abattoir in regional NSW.

e second two-month loan was secured in August, 2011, by mortgages over Domenicos Pizza and Pasta Restaurant in Barkly Street, Footscray, and the couples Altona Meadows home. Interest was charged monthly at eight per cent, the debt reaching $7.75 million by the time of trial and climbing rapidly.

Yet Mrs Nirta, representing herself, told the court she had known nothing about the loan and someone had forged her signatures on the loan agreement, the two mortgages and other loan documents.

She denied meeting in an Altona cafe with Keith William Blackney, the broker who arranged the second loan and who witnessed the signatures. She was adamant that she would never have put the security of the home in jeopardy as she could not contemplate moving her severely disabled son.

Victoria Associate Justice Melissa Daly said there was a murky aura surrounding this series of transactions.

Overall, my conclusion is that if she is a liar, she is an exceptionally talented liar, she said of Mrs Nirta.

I do not believe that she is suciently cunning and devious to maintain such a charade over such a long period of time and in such circumstances.

She also found much of Mr Nirtas evidence lacked credibility.

Mr Nirtas role in this whole transaction is, of course, the elephant in the room it is quite possible that the forgery of Mrs Nirtas signature was done by him, or by another at his request or with his connivance. However, on the state of the evidence I cannot make any conclusive ndings about Mr Nirtas role.

Associate Justice Daly judged the unregistered mortgage over the home to be void but that the Footscray pizza shop should be sold to recover the amount loaned by Titles Strata as it was unaware there had been any fraud.

e eight per cent monthly interest rate was found to be unjustiable and the statutory interest rate was instead set to have applied from 24 November 2011, the date that Titles Strata made a demand for payment.

Forged papers cut $7.7m debt

has been an inspiration for his recent writing.Grith, author of the Just! books and Just! books and Just! e Day

My Bum Went Psycho, said his four-level home at 2/113 Esplanade had provided inspiration for his current Treehouse series, co-written and edited with wife Jill and illustrated by Terry Denton.

Wed all be sitting there just looking out at the world from that beautiful second-oor aspect so it felt like we were in a treehouse, Grith said.

We were involved in a make-believe game creating the books, looking out of our treehouse. It made me feel like I was 10 years old in my cousins treehouse. You dont come that far, really, from your childhood.

Kirner Garden or Kirner courts?By Goya Dmytryshchak

e name of late former premier Joan Kirner has been dragged in to a long-running dispute over whether to convert the disused ladies bowling area on Williamstowns Dennis Reserve into open space or tennis courts.

As reported by Star Weekly, a report to Hobsons Star Weekly, a report to Hobsons Star WeeklyBay council recommended the area be used for two more tennis courts funded by Williamstown Central Tennis Club.

But Bonnie Gelman and Rob Lucas, who in 2013 collected about 170 signatures on a petition calling for the bowling green to become public open space, wrote to councillors last week saying a private donor had oered to contribute funds if the space could be called Joan Kirner Garden.

Joan was an environmentalist and keen advocate of the idea of community ownership that we should all feel part of the public space, they said.

Williamstown Central Tennis Club president Michael Greaves said Ms Kirner could be honoured in any number of ways.

You could call them the Joan Kirner tennis courts if you wanted to, he said. ats neither here nor there.

We could get lots of signatures to say that they would prefer tennis courts.

Tennis has absolutely boomed in this area in the last ve, six, seven years and I dont understand why people keep saying there are enough tennis courts when were struggling to get enough for juniors in night competition.

Hobsons Bay mayor Colleen Gates said Ms Kirner was a valued and much-loved resident of Williamstown.

She gave so much to the local community, she said. It would be wonderful to be able to remember her signicant contribution in an appropriate way.

Brooklyns Lachlan Mackinnon has been selected to represent Australia in lacrosse at Septembers world championships in the United States.

But as a minor sport in Australia, with limited government funding, selection places a heavy burden on players, who have to pay their own way to the world titles.

Mackinnon, 24, was among 23 players selected for the Australian mens indoor lacrosse team to compete in the FIL mens world indoor lacrosse championships in Syracuse, New York, from September 18-27.

Mackinnon started in the sport aged four and now plays with Altona Lacrosse.

For the past two years, he has undergone a rigorous selection process involving training camps and national competitions.

Mackinnon said the Australian Lacrosse Association received no government funding for high performance and only limited commercial sponsorship.

So he has created a gofundme page to help raise money towards his American dream of Australian gold.

e lacrosse world championships are held every four years.

Trees vandalisedSix Monterey cypress saplings in Williamstown Botanic Gardens have been vandalised every week for a month, with the tops of the trees apparently snapped off to stop them growing. The trees had been planted 14 months ago to replace six others that had reached the end of their lives. A phased removal plan over a 15- to 25-year period has been drawn up for replacing dying trees with saplings of the same species. Anyone with information about tree vandalism is being urged to report it to Hobsons Bay council on 9932 1000.

Women in the west are being urged to share their creativity as part of the latest zine by Females for Equality Making Stu (FEMS).

e brainchild of Freya Alexander, Cassandra Martin and Tegan Iversen, FEMS launched its rst zine in March at an art exhibition in Maidstone.

Ms Alexander says the second edition will be based loosely around the theme of Diversity, chosen for a variety of reasons.

One reason is that when we started we werent a particularly diverse group because it was mostly Victorian College of the Arts students or Melbourne University students very white, mostly heterosexual, so not super-diverse, she said. I think already thats beginning to change weve got a much more interesting range of people involved.

Ms Martin said the theme also aimed to encourage a conversation around a broader range of topics.

ere are so many dierent experiences women have and those things are inuenced by other things, like race or age or disability, so its just trying to broaden out, she said.

e zine has certainly generated a lot of conversations.

Ms Iversen said the project had attracted interest from people with written works, and FEMS would like to receive more pictorial submissions or a combination of both.

e zines launch is expected around late July. Submissions close July 1. Details at cargocollective.com/FEMS or email [email protected]. .

Pregnant women and new mothers at risk of depression and anxiety could fall through the cracks when funding runs out this month on a successful Sunshine Hospital program.

e two-year Perinatal Emotional Health program was funded in 2013 as part of the Victorian governments commitment to the National Prenatal Depression Initiative.

e initiative is aimed at improving early detection of mental health issues around child- birth, and supporting and treating expectant and new mothers of Melbournes west who are

experiencing feelings of sadness and anxiety. Yet, despite the pilot programs success, it will cease within weeks as funding dries up.

In an address last week to a Melbourne Health Research Week forum, program manager Frances Bilbao noted that one in 10 women experienced depression in pregnancy, and anxiety rates were even higher.

She said time pressures and a lack of training made screening impractical at a busy hospital like Sunshine, which last year recorded about 5500 births and was expected to reach 7200 births within a decade.

Midwives reported the program helped

Cash drying up for mums in needidentify women who need extra help. Of the 2286 screenings, 403 (18 per cent) returned positive symptoms of depression or anxiety and felt unable to cope.

NorthWestern Mental Health executive director Ruth Vine said the program was very successful despite having been in operation for a short time.

ere remains a real need to embed and grow services to meet the needs of a complex community, including a diverse ethnic mix, many new arrivals, and new mothers with substance abuse problems and pre-existing mental health problems, she said.

Greens MP Colleen Hartland said the western suburbs couldnt aord to lose such a vital program. We know womens mental health is particularly vulnerable in the months before and aer birth, so its critical the government make this an ongoing program, she said.

ere are limited alternative support services available to women if this program ends. is pilot has been a success and should be continued.

Women seeking support can call PANDAs (Post and Antenatal Depression Association) National Hotline on 1300 726 306 or nd advice fact sheets at www.panda.org.au.

Services tackling family violence in the western suburbs face an uphill battle in the face of crippling funding cuts, a forum has heard.

e Family Violence Forum in Footscray last Wednesday, organised by St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman and Footscray MP Marsha omson, aired a number of frustrations hampering service providers and police.

It coincided with a record number of police referrals of family violence cases to Footscray-based Womens Health West, 7629 in the past 11 months or almost one every hour.

e forum heard of womens reluctance to report intervention order breaches and their inability to leave abusive relationships because they were trapped by nancial hardship.

Prevention of Family Violence Minister Fiona Richardson told the forum the royal commission into Family Violence was a vital step towards achieving a long-term impact.

She said it was crucial to improve the way family violence was measured and to track whether progress was being made.

We need some sort of measure that will tell us how were performing, so weve come up with the Family Violence Index, she said. e index will draw together data from the elds of crime, justice, health and education.

Ms Richardson singled out the complex and inaccessible court system for failing to keep victims safe.

e court system is a traumatising process, she said. Intervention orders are oen not worth the paper theyre written on.

If you or someone you know is aected by sexual assault, domestic or family violence, call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or visit www.1800RESPECT.org.au.

Victoria Police has announced a $1 million reward for information in a bid to solve a 30-year-old case of a woman last seen at Newport.

Debbie Lorraine Bunworth (pictured), then aged 24, was last seen alive at Newport train station on September 6, 1985.

Ms Bunworth was a known drug user who frequented the St Kilda area.

Police say that at the time of her disappearance she had committed to making a better life for both herself and her 10-year-old daughter and had taken steps to overcome her addiction.

A 2003 coronial inquest found Ms Bunworth was a victim of foul play by an unknown assailant(s).

Homicide squad detectives recently received information from sources in South Australia which identied a person of interest to the investigation.

Commander Doug Fryer said that as a result of that information, investigators travelled to Adelaide last week and spoke to the person.

We believe we are close to solving this investigation, but we just need a little bit more help, he said.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Williamstowns Helen Smith has been appointed a member of the Order of Australia in the Queens Birthday honours for her service to fencing as an Olympic athlete, coach, mentor and referee.

Ms Smith started fencing 48 years ago at age 14, competing at numerous world championships and in Olympic Games at Montreal, Moscow and Los Angeles.

She founded the Williamstown Fencing Club in 1976 and was Commonwealth champion in 1978.

e former Williamstown High School teacher said the popular appeal of fencing had grown because of shows such as Game of rones and Star Wars. She said it appealed to her because it was physically, mentally and psychologically demanding.

Its like being in a real combat, Ms Smith said.

ere are lots of tactics, a lot of strategy involved, and when you win a bout, or even if you just score hits against someone you know is a superior opponent, its very, very rewarding.

Every time you step on the strip you have to dig deep because theres no one else to fall back on; theres no other team member there on the piece with you.

Ms Smith said she felt very honoured at the recognition. Ive almost got tears in my eyes. Its a great honour; I suppose thats what its meant to be. I guess its nice to think I might have done enough to deserve that.

Ms Smith teared up as she acknowledged those who helped her along the way, including her friend, former Premier Joan Kirner.

You dont get to be recognised and achieve all the things I have without the support of the family, particularly, my husband, my kids, and

Fencing legend lands AO

all the other people in my world of sport and in the community.

I had support from Joan Kirner over the years and its really sad to see her pass. Shes been an amazing woman; I think shes touched so many people in so many ways and you always felt you had her support.

She made you feel a bit special even though shes met some of the most amazing people in the world, like Nelson Mandela and Hilary Clinton. I guess I feel that without the support

of many people like Joan in my sporting career my teachers and my coaches and my mentors I wouldnt have been able to do what Ive done.

Ms Smith has been president of the Commonwealth Fencing Federation and Oceania Fencing Confederation since 2002.

She was awarded the Maitre dArmes (Master of Arms) by the Oceania Fencing Masters Academy in 1992 and was inducted into the International Fencing Hall of Fame in 2013.

EASY VEGANI have friends coming over for afternoon tea this weekend, at least one of whom is a vegan. Instead of getting in a ap about what I can and cant serve, Im taking a very sensible, two-pronged approach. First, I will make a beeline for Absolutely Gluten Free in Watton Street, Werribee, which apart from gluten-free goodies also offers a great range of vegan cakes and slices, including vegan cheesecake and caramel slice. Secondly, Ill throw together some deceptively easy nger food, including these almond-stuffed dates. Simple as they are, they look quite impressive when arranged nicely on a serving platter.

ALMOND-STUFFED DATES

Ingredients:24 fresh dates24 blanched almonds

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Scatter almonds over a baking tray and bake for six to eight minutes until toasted. Set aside to cool. Using a small, sharp knife, cut a slit in each date. Remove stones. Insert an almond into each date and arrange these on a serving plate.

Did author Andy Grifth take inspiration for his iconic Treehouse series from his own Treehouse series from his own Treehousehouse?

The place does, to an extent, resemble the authors imaginative storybook and it is his home.

Like a treehouse, there are many levels, in this case four, including the basement, with its double garage and storage space.

The canopy of a tree could be imagined in the use of high ceilings and picture windows, lighting every inch of the three levels above ground.

This is a spacious house with four

bedrooms, three on the ground oor and the main bedroom on the top level; all are carpeted with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has a balcony affording glorious views.

Its the main bedroom that creates the sensation one may actually be perched upon the highest branch in Grifths Treehouse.

A blissful sanctuary, with porthole windows, a mirrored built-in wardrobe and en suite (tiled, twin-basin vanity unit, skylight and spa,) as well as a balcony, this is the ideal rooftop retreat.

The working hub of the house is on the middle level, accessed directly from the entry hall via a staircase. A bank of picture windows anks this expansive area of kitchen, dining and living ensemble.

This is the ultimate entertainment hot-spot, warmed by a gas log re.

The kitchen has granite benchtops, Miele dishwasher, Smeg cooktop and ample cupboards, making it spacious enough to host functions of any size.

Sliding doors lead to a balcony which has uninterrupted views of Williamstown Beach.
