merger would be a major mistake, says councillorRates debate

A Maribyrnong councillor has rejected calls for the city to merge with neighbouring councils as a way to reduce property rates.

Cr Michael Clarke said talk of potential mergers stretche d back to the 1990s.

Last week, the Weekly reported that residents rallying against high property rates had called for the state government to consider absorbing Maribyrnong council into other council areas to better spread residential rates.

Maribyrnong mayor Grant Miles said he was personally in favour of merging Maribyrnong with Hobsons Bay.

But Cr Clarke said such a move would be a major mistake given the work Maribyrnong ha d done to reduce the “infrastructure gap”.

Any savings would be overwhelmed by the cost of � xing infrastructure in areas where other councils had been lagging. “With the greatest respect to the mayor, a council whose � nancial position was so remarkably strong in relation to other municipalities would have no reason to want to join with them,” he said.

Cr Clarke said the council could look at improving its shared service agreements with other councils as one way of reducing the need for doubling up with machinery and contracts that could be shared across neighbouring councils.

Hobsons Bay mayor Sandra Wilson said as the matter ha d not been formally considered by the council it ha d no o� cial position.

Victorian Local Government Association president Cr Sebastian Klein said residents outraged over rates must consider the services the community expect ed from councils, including childcare centres, libraries and recreation facilities along with “roads and rubbish”.

� e Ratepayers Victoria Association suggests people should refuse to pay the general rates portion of their bill.

But the Municipal Association of Victoria said this “ill-conceived advice” would result in penalty interest of 11.5 per cent

and the potential for legal action.Anyone facing genuine � nancial hardship

is urged to contact their council and arrange a payment plan or rates deferral. \

Altona Meadows

Children at Queen of Peace Primary School in Altona Meadows are growing vegetables in their school’s garden to donate to local charities and soup vans.

Teacher Annette Gauci said the garden was established to help the less privileged in Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay.

“For over 12 months, we’ve been donating vegetables grown in our garden, such as pumpkin, spinach, beetroot and potatoes, to the Matthew Talbot Soup Van run by St Vincent de Paul [Society] in Maidstone,” she said.

“� is year, the Queen of Peace parish has also become involved by organising vegetables grown by the schoolchildren to be donated to the Laverton Hub.

“Tomatoes, beans and zucchini were greatly appreciated and used to prepare meals.

“Last year, the preps helped during their play-based curriculum time. A� er reading Jack and the Beanstalk, children enjoyed

planting zucchini, beans and cucumber seeds, watching them grow in amazement.”

Ms Gauci said the children watered the garden each day during their lunch breaks.

“Monitors also collect classroom fruit scraps to compost each day and enrich the

soil,” she said. “� is has been the secret to our bumper crop of vegies, especially

zucchini.”‘‘Sustainability is a big focus at

Queen of Peace, so this year, we have two school leaders whose job is sustainability .“A water tank was also donated by

a former year-6 student who won an illustration competition through the City of Melbourne – an urban forest of the future competition.

“� e garden has helped our social justice program, as children can take an active role in helping others in need.’’ \

hot opposition to uni outsourcing bideducation

Victoria University sta� and students say a drive to outsource services will create further job losses and poor outcomes for students.

Senior lecturer Paul Adams said a forum to be held in Footscray today would discuss major outsourcing proposals that threaten service quality and job security.

� e National Tertiary Education Union VU president said tens of millions of dollars in state and federal government cuts had put unprecedented pressure on VU to � nd savings, but management was going about it the wrong way.

“It’s fairly clear some of the dilemmas VU � nds itself in are about poor management,” he said.

Dr Adams said proposals to outsource IT services could cost VU more while reducing quality and satisfaction.

“� ere is a real lack of transparency in terms of what is happening and how these things area assessed,” he said.

Further VU job losses are likely this year on top of the 400 lost in the past two years.

Deputy vice-chancellor Duncan Bentley said the university’s shared-services model aimed to help streamline and simplify the way sta� delivered services.

“We are reducing our policies and the layers of red tape beneath them by almost half,” he said.

Professor Bentley said a sta� survey late last year found satisfaction varied considerably between well-established shared services such as library and information technology, and newly established services such as student connections .

Professor Bentley con� rmed VU was exploring outsourcing options for facilities,

infrastructure and IT operations, provided they improve d e� ciency and service quality.

A review of VU childcare services is complete and potential changes could be in place from 2016.

PhD student Natalie Zirngast, a parent who uses VU childcare services, said

it would be a major mistake for VU to outsource childcare. She said outsourcing to a provider working on a pro� t model would reduce quality and risked losing

well-trained sta� .“� is really matters because

we have students coming in and learning best-practice childcare from this well-quali� ed sta� ,” she said.

� e forum will be held from 1pm today at the Victoria University Footscray Park campus, building M, room M001. \

we don’t want to wait: loop groupPUBLIC TRANSPORT

More than 150 commuters at a community meeting in Altona have called for partial duplication of the Werribee line through non-residential areas to improve the “worst train service in Melbourne”.

Last week’s meeting was called by the Altona Loop Group, representing users of Seaholme, Altona and Westona stations, which dot the single track loop on the Werribee line.

Group spokeswoman Jennifer Williams asked for a show of hands from people who had changed their travel patterns since the timetable changed in 2011. � e room was a sea of hands.

� e Werribee line, which splits at Newport, received extra services in 2011 with trains timetabled to run every 10-12 minutes.

However, Altona loop commuters had peak-hour trains cut to one every 22 minutes and became the only people in Melbourne who had to change trains up to three times to access the City Loop.

Altona loop passengers su� ered the most bypasses when there were problems on other sections of the Werribee line or other lines across Melbourne.

Ms Williams said that residents did not want to wait 20 years for the duplication of the single Altona loop train track, which is the timeframe that Public Transport Victoria (PTV) has advised.

She said commuters could not wait two years until the Regional Rail Link was built.

“We have the dubious honour of being the most dissatis� ed customers in Melbourne, having the biggest drop-o� in patronage across the loop stations. If a business lost 30 per cent of its customers you’d investigate reasons for the decline.

“Many residents have given up and take the car to work.”

Melbourne University public transport expert John Stone said it was “misleading” that there could be no improvements until 2016. Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder and PTV did not attend the forum.

Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury told the Weekly he would

ask Mr Mulder about the possibility of track duplication.

“I’d have to see the numbers before I commit myself to any project,” he said.

As he prepared to catch the train from Altona to Hoppers Crossing a� er the meeting, Mr Elsbury said there was a lot of work to be

Metro’s chief executive is waiting for a train at Altona station.

It’s � ursday night and Andrew Lezala (pictured) has just attended a forum organised by the Altona Loop group, attended by more than 150 irate Werribee line commuters.

� ey’re angry that the three Altona Loop stations – Seaholme, Altona and Westona – are frequently bypassed, with services o� en late or cancelled.

One cancelled train in peak hour could mean a wait of more than 40 minutes. Last � nancial year, trains skipped the Altona Loop more than 300 times, yet the state government rewarded Metro with a $2.4 million bonus for meeting performance targets.

� e Weekly ask ed Mr Lezala if Metro is � ned when it bypasses Altona. “Yes, heavily ,” he said. “We’re not doing it to save money.”

I informed Mr Lezala that I had a recorded interview with a public transport employee, who says Altona is being bypassed to make up for lost time. “We do do it to make up time – to get as many people on time as possible,” Mr Lezala said.

How many times is Metro allowed to bypass Altona?

“Out of 2300 services a day [on all lines], we’re only allowed to change 50,” Mr Lezala said.

How many of those 50 changes a� ect the Altona Loop? “If you’ve got a disruption on the Werribee line, then it’ll a� ect Altona,” he said. “If you’ve got a problem at Newport, it’ll a� ect Altona. If you’ve got a problem at North Melbourne, sometimes, it will a� ect Altona.

“[But] once the Regional Rail Link’s in, you’ll have a 20-minute service, you won’t have to change at Newport and it will be more reliable.” \ GD

truck traffic talks stallFootscray � e head of the Victorian Transport Association is refusing to work with local activists on addressing the issue of truck tra� c through the inner-west.

VTA chief executive Neil Chambers says he’s unwilling to side with the Maribyrnong Truck Action Group in � nding a solution that could appease the freight industry and residents.

“� ey are a militant residential group,” Mr Chambers said. “At one stage MTAG’s beef was with the government, but now they are targeting the transport industry.”

His comments come as Footscray residents plan a “sleep-in” on Moore Street next Wednesday in a bid to win night-time truck curfews.

Residents in sleeping bags and blankets will occupy the road from 8

-8.30am in protest against a � ve-fold increase in truck tra� c in a decade.

Mr Chambers said inner-west roads “have been heavy-vehicle routes for 150 years” and the VTA refuses to deal with MTAG when it pulls a “media stunt”.

“It will have an impact on the freight industry. � is is not a way to build

stakeholder relationships.” � e VTA supports the state government’s east- west link as one solution but says it would also welcome Labor’s commitment to building truck ramps connecting with the West Gate Freeway.

“We have always maintained that if the infrastructure is built, of course the trucks will use it.”

Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said the inner-west community

was screaming out for a solution to thousands of trucks using residential streets.

“I don’t think MTAG in their heart of hearts want to block

roads, but it’s the only way they can get their message heard.”

Maribyrnong mayor Grant Miles said Moore Street ha d become unliveable.

“We have encouraged VicRoads to do something for the residents of Moore Street,” he said, adding that he had witnessed two serious incidents in the area in the past three weeks.

Cr Miles said if Roads Minister Terry Mulder stood with him at that intersection for 10 minutes and told him he felt safe then he would “shut up about it”. \

One of Maribyrnong’s bright young leaders is using skills gained in the Western Bulldogs’ Whitten Project to create better lives for young people .

Katherine Salkovic ( pictured), a member of the Maribyrnong Young People’s Consultative Committee, wants to create long-term positive changes.

“We are looking at a four- or � ve-year plan to make the youth of Maribyrnong feel safer and happier in our community,” she said.

Ms Salkovic credits the Whitten Project with transforming her in the past 12 months. Representing Maribyrnong council , the 15-year-old said the experience had taught her resilience and had empowered her.

Ms Salkovic has applied to do a World Challenge Cambodia trip, in which students budget and organise their own adventures. If successful she will help out at a community shelter.

hartman to stand trialCOURTS

A Catholic Brother accused of sexually abusing four children at Altona and Altona North has been committed to stand trial in the Melbourne County Court on April 20, 2015.

Bernard Joseph Hartman, 74, has entered pleas of not guilty for 16 sexual assault and two assault charges. He has been charged with 14 counts of indecent assault and two counts of gross indecency with a girl under 16.

Taskforce Sano detectives allege the o� ences happened at St Paul’s College at Altona North and in Altona homes between 1976 and 1982. It is not known if there will be one trial or separate trials.

Witness statements tendered to the Melbourne Magistrates Court, which were obtained by the Weekly on Wednesday, are from two males and two females, now in their mid-to-late 40s.

One man, 48, stated that Hartman was his biology teacher at St Paul’s in 1981 when he was in year 10. � e witness turned 16 in June that year.

He described Hartman as “a Jekyll and Hyde-type of person” and said that the abuse

“happened all of the time”. “I have no doubt that Brother Hartman

used to enjoy hitting me as well as sexually abusing me . A� er more than 30 years I am still su� ering. My innocence has been taken by a man of God, Brother Hartman. ”

Another witness, also 48, had Hartman as his biology teacher in years 9 and 10 at the same college.

� e witness said that when he repelled Hartman a� er being sexually assaulted,

he was threatened with expulsion and Hartman said no one would believe him.

“I said yes they will because I have never lied to my parents and Hartman would have a scandal on

his hands when they belted him. “I just shut this out of my mind until

I saw � e Age about 12 months ago with an article on the front page about … Brother Hartman … When I saw the photo my blood went cold.”

A female witness, 49, allege d that Hartman sexually assaulted her from the ages of eight to 11.

Another female witness, 45, alleged that she was � ve or six when Hartman � rst sexually assaulted her. \

‘worn down’ by appealsPLANNING

� e Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has approved a controversial three-storey development for the former Newport timber yard site, stating the community had become “wearied and worn down” � ghting the development for the third time.

� e tribunal approved the development for 6 Paine Street, with a reduction in the number of townhouses from 43 to 39.

It was the third application since 2010 by Domain Hill Property Group . Domain managing director Peter Cahill said : “ We’re � elding calls from buyers already so there’s de� nitely strong demand in the neighbourhood for quality townhouses.”

More than 260 residents, who started a Protect Newport action group, objected to the development.

In 2011, VCAT refused Domain’s application to build 40 dwellings at the site. In 2012, the tribunal refused a second application for 42 dwellings.

In its latest decision, VCAT presiding member Michael Deidun and member Ann Keddie said the developer had worn

people down. “As verbally expressed by the residents and probably also felt by the other parties, they have become wearied and worn down by what is now nearly four years of almost continuous planning permit applications, tribunal proceedings and planning disputes over this parcel of land.

“We feel it would be a positive outcome if this proceeding resulted

in a permit being granted, and thus bring an end to this dispute.”

Resident Nik Bebic said it was “a very sad day indeed when a decision by council, which

represents all of us, is set aside to grant this blatant opportunity to

exploit the urban consolidation theme, which has been thrust upon us all by this greedy state government.

“Yes, I am weary, but not for the reasons VCAT gives in their decision. I am weary because, once again, the powerless have been trampled on by the powerful.”

Hobsons Bay mayor Sandra Wilson said that while the decision was disappointing, the development had been scaled back and several concerns about scale, bulk and density had been addressed. \

western mps plead for school leavers

Youth at risk

Maribyrnong school leavers are at risk of slipping through the cracks unless the federal government commits to Youth Connections services, according to western suburbs MPs.

Opposition leader and Maribyrnong MP Bill Shorten said a lack of funding for the program threaten ed Westgate Community Initiatives Group’s ability to help young people overcome barriers to education and employment.

“� is is a holistic approach to helping young people in Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley who have le� school or are at risk of leaving school to continue with their education and ultimately complete year 12,” he said.

Gellibrand MP Tim Watts said more than 80 per cent of those using the services were still in study or jobs two years later.

Recent Senate estimates committee hearings revealed the federal government is yet to allocate funding for the services beyond the end of this year. \

alarm over petrochemical flare, firealtona

Fire crews last week visited Hobsons Bay’s two biggest petrochemical companies a� er reports of � res.

Alarmed residents called the Metropolitan Fire Brigade when they thought Mobil’s Altona re� nery was ablaze. But black smoke and � aring on Wednesday a� ernoon was “product” burning o� due to a re� nery shutdown, according to a Mobil spokeswoman.

Four � re trucks attended.A truck attended Altona plastics

manufacturer Qenos on Tuesday last week a� er insulation caught � re near a furnace.

Sheila Freeman was among residents who feared Mobil had caught � re a� er witnessing smoke and � ames.

“My husband and I were driving along Maddox Road, Newport, and saw two large plumes of black smoke,” she said. “We turned into Kororoit Creek Road and saw two chimneys at Mobil � aring, saw two � re engines leaving the site. Are we really safe?”

Mobil spokeswoman Melanie Saliba said one of the re� nery’s process units had shut down about 1.35pm.

“At the time of the shutdown, the re� nery’s

safety mechanisms worked, as intended, to safely stop re� nery processes, as required,” she said.

“Initially there was a noticeable increase in black smoke associated with the � aring, which was due to an insu� cient amount of steam being available.”

MFB spokeswoman Heather Stockton said the Qenos � re had been minor and was quickly brought under control. “� e � re was

contained to one of the pipes,” she said. Qenos spokesman Rod Coughlin said the

� re was caused by silicone touching a hot pipe. “At no point was there any danger to our people or our community,” he said.

Smoke was visible over Altona North and Laverton on Tuesday as the Department of Environment and Primary Industries conducted planned burns. \

rowers’ rhodes a club coupFootscray A rare double honour has come to Footscray with two members of Footscray City Rowing Club awarded Rhodes Scholarships for this year.

Jenny Tran and Kristijan Jovanovski have been awarded two of only nine scholarships that are granted in Australia each year for undertaking post-graduate studies at Oxford University. Ms Tran, a doctor at Werribee Mercy Hospital, was director of REACH (Realising Education and Access to

Collaborative Health), which was Australia’s � rst student-run clinic project to deliver free community health care.

Mr Jovanovski, a neuroscience researcher, founded the Melbourne University Health Initiative (MUHI), a charity running a preventive medicine campaign in Kenya, outreach programs for asylum seekers and disadvantaged high school students, and supplying hospitals in developing countries with medical materials.

Previous Rhodes scholars include prime ministers Tony Abbott and Bob Hawke. \ BM

your voiceRE. RATES WASTED(Weekly, March 19)

■ In “Your Voice”, Ron King made reference to Hobsons Bay mayor’s program and also asks the question “what is a governance program for secondary schools?”.

I suggest that Mr King ask the appropriate people before expressing the opinion that “We should sack the lot of them for such rubbish”.

Any intelligent person asking a question would � rst understand the matter and then criticise if it is appropriate.

Mr King also noted other things he did not approve of; I suspect he does not understand them either. GEORGE SAID, SEAHOLME

RE. TRUCK TRAFFIC SLEEP-IN PROTEST IS PREMIER’S WAKE-UP CALL(Weekly, March 19)

■ To complain about noise is really silly. Melbourne is a growing city and of course there are more cars

and trucks. Be thankful you have a home as there are people who need to sleep on the street and not by choice.MARK \ VIA ONLINE

■ This level of noise pollution actually has fairly serious health implications, Mark.

On Francis Street in Yarraville noise levels from trucks are double the World Health Organisation guidelines.

And Moore Street in Footscray has more night-time truck traf� c than Francis Street.

Hardly a “silly” issue .NARELLE \ VIA ONLINE

■ The toll for a truck on the Bolte Bridge is about $5 each way.

When the truck is earning about $50 per hour and must use the Bolte twice, that brings the income down to $40.

Out of that running costs and driver’s wages must be taken [so] it is not good business sense for trucks to use the Bolte Bridge.

Perhaps if you stopped moaning about the community and stood beside them in their call for proper infrastructure for the freight industry, they wouldn’t need to block roads to get the government to pay attention.GETREALNEIL \ VIA ONLINE

■ Great to see people taking action. The situation on Moore Street is ridiculous. Trucks should be using CityLink to access the port.BILL \ VIA ONLINE

The WEEKLY welcomes letters no longer than 200 words. All letters are subject to editing and must include a name, address and phone number. POST \ The Editor, PO Box 740, Niddrie, 3042 EMAIL \ [email protected] POST A WEB COMMENT \ to any story at www.maribyrnongweekly.com.au

[But] if trucks were given an exemption from tolls there is no reason why trucks wouldn’t use [the bridge].

If you want to protest about trucks using Moore Street, then protest to the government and offer them an alternative.DARBY \ VIA ONLINE

■ For goodness’ sake, Neil [Chambers, Victorian Transport Association chief executive], a half-hour protest blocking one street is hardly going to have a major impact on the trucking industry.

And as for the Maribyrnong community, I think there are a lot of people that will put up with a bit of inconvenience on one morning if it means they no longer have to put up with hundreds of trucks thundering through their neighbourhood night in night out.

As for building stakeholder relationships, has it ever occurred to you that what the residents want would be good for the trucking industry too?

new chapter for e-book library plansnewport

Save Newport Library last week held its � rst meeting to plan the next phase of its campaign against Hobsons Bay council’s proposal for a library with no books.

Former librarian Sarah Vincent is convener of the group, which has received more than 350 ‘likes’ on its Facebook page.

As reported by the Weekly on March 5, the council deferred approving plans for the Newport Youth Library and Seniors Project a� er residents complained the design showed no bookshelves.

Mayor Sandra Wilson had said the library would complement Altona North and Williamstown libraries by providing “services based on e-book, digital information and learning”.

But following a public outcry, the council unanimously voted to consult the community . It has invited residents to an information session on April 2 at 6pm to discuss the future of Newport library. � e meeting will be at Newport Seniors Centre at Paine Reserve in Mason Street.

People may nominate to become a member of the library sub-committee that will guide development of the new library. Nominations close on April 2. \

decades of volunteering rewardedBraybrook

One of Maribyrnong’s most inspirational women has been honoured during International Women’s Day celebrations. Braybrook resident Lorraine Kennedy was recognised at a luncheon at Braybrook Community Centre for her outstanding

volunteer work for the community over 40 years. � e 2006 Maribyrnong citizen of the year championed the creation of the Braybrook Community Health Centre, which became Western Region Health Centre , and she started the Western Region Tool Library. Maribyrnong mayor Grant Miles said Ms Kennedy was an inspiration to everyone. \ BM

rail land sale tipped to fund station upgradesWest Footscray

Vacant land adjoining West Footscray railway station could be sold to developers under a state government plan to help pay for station upgrades.

Victorian Premier Denis Napthine last week revealed West Footscray was one of 10 railway station sites across Melbourne identi� ed for selling.

Dr Napthine said the sales would deliver $1 billion in direct investment through a station precinct enhancement program.

“It will create more than 3000 direct project-delivery jobs, a further 5000 indirect jobs through construction and the potential to support more than 800 full-time commercial and retail jobs a� er project completion,” he said.

� e potential West Footscray station development site is a 5000 -square-metre area north of the rail corridor, next to Whitten Oval.

A spokeswoman for Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder said the site had

the potential for residential, o� ce and convenience retail use.

“� is potential project will be investigated and, if commercially viable, released to the market in a controlled manner over the next three to � ve years,”

she said.“� e site would still require

Department of Transport and government approvals and consultation with the local council and community .”

Tony De Domenico, executive director of the Urban Development

Institute of Australia Victoria, said the sooner the government could move on such projects the better.

“� e opportunity to invest in projects such as the station precinct enhancement program, which should not be subject to long planning delays as the projects are supported by government policy, will be attractive to the property sector,” he said. \

Braybrook

Two new sculptures will appear in the new Braybrook Hub early next year a� er Maribyrnong council announced the two successful projects.

Twenty submissions were whittled down to a shortlist of nine before TRUC and Pollyanna’s Egg were announced as the council’s preferred artworks.

TRUC by Jonathan Leahey and David Burrows (pictured), costing $105,000, features two rotating six-metre � gures with video cameras and screens that can be viewed in place or via mobile phones or the internet.

� e $40,000 Pollyanna’s Egg by Archinauts is inspired by the children’s book Pollyanna’s Egg, itself inspired by the true story of 12-year-old Braybrook resident Trena Telford and her pet goose, Pollyanna, who appeared in a photo in the former Argus newspaper in August 1956.

� e artwork is a large recycled timber goose egg above a “nest” of long, grassy plants.

� e egg’s hollow centre will contain a weatherproof time capsule.

Maribyrnong mayor Grant Miles said the

council’s public art strategy aimed to enliven public spaces.“We chose these two artworks as

we wanted the community to experience fun, interactive and safe public art pieces,” he said .

“Having these large and small-scale artworks will contribute to the Revitalising Braybrook project, and will help make the redeveloped Braybrook Hub [in Churchill Avenue] a centre of the community.” \

ensuite, both featuring imported Gessi tapwear and marble surfaces. Equally alluring upstairs living and dining areas beneath 3.3m ceilings are luxuriously large, filled with

light and framed front and rear by alfresco terraces. Great sights of the bay and an open plan kitchen offering marble benches, Blum fitted storage, Miele appliances and

soft closing cabinetry complement the spaces and confirm the quality. Double glazing, refrigerated cooling and heating throughout and parking for two cars behind remote

door, accessed from second frontage to Thompson Street are amongst abundant additional assets.

MOtORING \ Rod Easdown opts foR REstRaint

Being the one in the family who knows about cars has its drawbacks. Like the time I was asked to fit a child seat.

I read the instructions. I followed the directions. For two hours I struggled. It just wouldn’t get in there tight enough to make me happy. I gave up and called a Kidsafe installer. She looked at my work, shook her head sadly and said “Nup. Hardly anyone gets it right”. But she said it nicely.

Fifteen minutes later, there it was. I realised later that, even if I had managed to fit it correctly, I wouldn’t have known.

In the US, they have frightening data on this business. Three in four child seats over there are fitted incorrectly; more than a third of children under 13 who are killed in car accidents are incorrectly restrained.

The local data is equally scary. Research suggests children who are not restrained correctly are up to seven times more likely to be seriously injured in a car accident. On an average day in New South Wales, 11 people are fined for having an incorrectly fitted seat or for having kids not properly restrained.

Incorrect fitting attracts a fine of $317 and three demerit points in Victoria, and you’d most likely be pinged after a smash.

One reason seats are incorrectly fitted is that it sometimes requires a lot of strength. Another is that although restraint anchor points have been standardised by car manufacturers, there’s no standardisation in the child seats themselves – so what works

for one may not work for another. It’s a point sometimes criticised by car makers.

Seat manufacturers have views about car makers too, especially regarding inflatable seatbelts. These are a relatively recent idea;

belts that inflate on impact, providing cushioning between the wearer and the

webbing to reduce injury and especially webbing burn. But they pose all sorts of problems for child-seat makers, to the point where some recommend against buying cars with them fitted in

the rear seats.It’s illegal, but it’s not unknown for

people in a hurry to fit child seats using only the seatbelts, and not the car’s restraint anchors. Do this and you’re asking for trouble. Child seats fitted this way can have significant forward travel in a big hit, enough that the kid’s head impacts the seat in front.

Professional installers can advise on when it’s best for your kid to go from rear facing to forward facing, and then to a booster.

It’s handy knowledge. Research last year by Queensland University of Technology’s Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety suggests almost one in four children is moved to booster seats too early. \

I f you ever bump into me at a wine bar, chances are I’ll be swirling a glass of chardonnay. This noble grape is my favourite white by some distance.When winemaker and head of France’s famous

Chablis chardonnay region Louis Moreau hit town recently, I arranged a catch-up to chat about all things chardonnay.

Chablis is the only region in France with mono-cépage, where only one grape variety can be used in its wines: chardonnay. Eighteen villages make up the appellation and the wines are divided into four levels: petit chablis, chablis, premier cru and grand cru.

Chablis’ winemakers tend to shy away from ageing their wines in oak, to keep their purity.

“Chablis should have three characteristics: it should be fresh, it should be crispy and it should be fruity,” says Moreau.

Soil plays an important part in the character of chablis. An inland sea once covered the region and mineral and seashell deposits 240 million years ago created kimmeridgian soil, which is rich in calcareous soils and clays.

“The different soil types are the beauty of chablis,” Moreau says. “Some wines can be a bit more austere and with a little bit more tension compared to other wines, while premier cru and grand cru can be a little bit rounder or a bit more supple or tender.

“Those made on clay produce fuller wines and the chalky soils will give you nice tension.”

Much of the chablis that makes its way to Australia

Decanter \ BEN THOMAS LOVES HIS CHARDONNAY

to reaD more reviews www.theweeklyreview.com.au/wine

comes bottled under screw cap; rare for French wine. We’re the only country in

the world to which some chablis producers will ship screw-capped wine. With freshness the

key to good chablis, we really are the lucky country.“Chablis being very fine, very delicate, screw cap

is definitely a plus, especially when you ship them to countries with different conditions. It helps preserve the wines better,” says Moreau, who has used screw caps for six years. “It takes away the fear of having a bad bottle for consumers and for winemakers it helps preserve one, two years of our work rather than have it ruined by a cork.

“My father always said if there’s new technology, whether it’s in the vineyard or winemaking, and if it’s going to be helpful, don’t go against it. He is right.” \

[email protected]

in the neighbourhoodOfficially part of the Burgundy region, Chablis shares characteristics with the nearby Champagne. “The first Champagne vineyard is not even an hour’s drive from Chablis,” Moreau says. “The climate, soils, terroir is similar and back in history we were closer to the Count of Champagne rather than the landowners in southern Burgundy.” Until relatively recently, Chablis wasn’t the domain of only chardonnay. “Back in history there was a little bit of pinot noir and gamay, but it was pulled out,” Moreau says. “I remember some of those vineyards when I was younger, but they were used for family consumption and workers. There was always a tank of red wine in the winery but that disappeared and we solely concentrate on chardonnay.”

dinner a tribute to club’s stalwarts

Golf

Kooringal Golf Club honoured its long-standing members at a special celebration dinner at the Wilga Avenue club.

Victorian and Australian amateur golf great Kevin Hartley and popular club members Rose Patterson and Pat Fitzgibbon were recognised for half a century of service to the 68-year-old club.

Director of membership Lynette Foote said the evening was a � tting tribute to the men and women who had supported the club over many years.

“We’re incredibly proud of our history and the important role the club plays in so many people’s lives,” she said.

“Life-long partnerships and very dear friendships have been forged on the fairways and through social events at this club, and tonight’s event celebrates that.

“Kooringal regularly welcomes new members, but we thought it was time we also acknowledged the rich history these long-serving members represent.”

Kooringal was inaugurated at a public meeting at the Williamstown Town Hall on September 27, 1946 as the Williamstown Golf Club before changing its name to Kooringal in 1958 when Altona became a separate municipality. \

cannons shoot down jetsTAC Cup

� e new-look Western Jets’ on-ball brigade was dealt a harsh lesson by Calder Cannons with a 40-point � ogging in the opening round of the TAC Cup at Highgate Recreation Reserve on Saturday morning.

� e bulk of the Jets who ran through the mid� eld were familiar faces but had little experience at the coalface.

Jets coach Torin Baker wasted no time si� ing through the match footage to come up with answers for players he wants to fast-track into their new positions.

“We have a new on-ball group who haven’t played a lot in the TAC Cup ,” he said. “Most of them are new in the role, but they have to learn, and quickly. I’ve identi� ed some things they can work on .”

Corey Ellis was the exception to the rule . Switched into the centre in the second half, he did a lot of the grunt work while also hurting the opposition with his run and carry and exquisite foot skills.

� e Jets were behind on the scoreboard from the get-go as the Cannons made full use of the breeze to lead by 23 points at quarter-time.

Down 21 at half-time, the Jets were made to pay for their sloppy play in attack. � e Cannons booted four goals to one in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.

“We rued the opportunities we missed,” Baker said.

Connor Menadue was one of the standouts for the Jets in practice matches and he carried his form into the � rst home-and-away match, while Mitch Norton excelled in a variety of roles and Liam Carter was solid down back.

Under siege: Western Jets onballer Liam Duggan is set upon by a pair of Calder Cannons. (DARREN HOWE)

West newport ‘robbed’ of a turf titleCricket

West Newport is seething a� er a callous and calculated act ruined its last chance of Williamstown and District Cricket Association A turf premiership glory.

Wests went into the fourth and last day as odds-on favourite to make it three � ags in � ve years before the club moves to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association next summer.

Wests needed just one wicket to win, while their opponents Grand United had a mountain to climb, requiring 92 runs with two tail-enders at the crease.

It seemed a mere formality that Wests would go on to claim the � ag, but when the teams arrived at Greenwich Reserve on Sunday they found the covers slashed, divots

marked in the pitch and a roller broken, forcing the umpires to cancel play .

Because it was the biggest game on the WDCA calender a number of league o� cials were in attendance. � ey initially decided to move the game to Fearon Reserve in Williamstown, but not all parties agreed.

“We said, ‘yep, no worries, we’ll go down there’,” Wests secretary Mick Jones said. “But Grand United said ‘nope, if you do that, we’re going to go to another comp.

“All of a sudden they [o� cials] reconvened and they said there will be no A turf premiers this season.”

� e decision hit Wests hard, even bringing one of its senior-ranking players to tears.

“We’re going to buy the boys medallions and a � ag and everything,” Jones said.

“As far as we see it, we’re the premiers and everyone knows that. Even some of the boys from Grand United, they were absolutely shattered and said it’s a disgrace.

West Newport posted a massive 262 courtesy of wicketkeeper-batsman Aaron Floyd (61) and captain Trent Jones (60).

� e Gorillas were in dire straits in reply at 9-171 a� er a � ve-wicket haul to big-game specialist Corey Irving.

“� ey had the numbers 10 and 11 in, so it was going to be pretty doubtful to get the 90 runs, but you never know,” Jones said.

Other premiers were: West Newport (B turf), Caroline Springs (C composite), Melton Centrals (A-grade matting), Grand United (B-grade matting and one-day competition) and Deer Park Ardeer (C-grade matting). \ LJ

Reigning champions City West Falcons have assumed sole ownership of top spot on the Victorian Netball League championship division ladder a� er notching a sixth straight win to start the season.

Judging by their 54-37 mauling of Boroondara Genesis in the much-anticipated top-two clash at the State Netball Hockey Centre on Wednesday night, the Falcons’ supremacy shows no signs of weakening.

� ey have opened up a handy game break over the Genesis, a two-game lead over third-placed Peninsula Waves and a massive three games over the rest of the competition. But, ever the professional, coach Marg Lind is not getting carried away.

“It’s a good start but there’s still a long way to go,” she told the Weekly. “We’re not going to get ahead of ourselves.”

Lind stressed the importance of a fast start to the season for her side. She is mindful of the impact of state, national and trans-Tasman duties on her team.

Even on Wednesday night, the Falcons had three players – Chloe Watson, Emily Mannix and Maggie Lind – returning from the national titles.

“All three were pretty good, which is a bit of a � rst because normally they get back from nationals pretty exhausted and � nd it hard to get into the game mentally,” Lind said.

“We thought that if we didn’t make a good start we probably wouldn’t run it out, so we put all our eggs in one basket and went for it.”

� e Falcons ran riot in the � rst quarter to take a 13-goal lead into quarter-time and did not relent.

Kath Knott showed her class to land 32 from 40, an 80 per cent return.

Clare Moylan was a standout in the centre. She and Maggie Lind formed a strong mid-court combination that has potential for growth.

� e Falcons will meet Southern Saints at the SNHC on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, VU-Western Lightning tumbled to sixth place following a 52-40 loss to Yarra Valley Grammar Ariels. � e Lightning play winless Ballarat Pride at SNHC on Wednesday. \ LJ

dramatic win for clubbersCricket

Yarraville Club has made a habit of � nding new ways to win premierships in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division, but none has been as dramatic as its 37-run grand � nal triumph over South Caul� eld at Cro� s Reserve at the weekend.

Clubbers top-order batsman Justin Baker quipped that it felt like he had walked o� the set of a soap opera a� er four days of tense, drama-� lled action led to an incredible seventh � ag in nine seasons for his club.

Baker was just pleased the scriptwriters remembered to include a fairytale ending for his club. “ � is grand � nal was like the writers of Home and Away got a handle on it,” he said amid the post game celebrations.

“We’ve got a bloke [Yarraville Club’s Aaron Mato] in hospital with his missus for the birth of his � rst child [a boy named Khan]; another guy [South Caul� eld’s Leon Gouzen� ter] has gone into hospital with appendicitis and had his appendix removed on Saturday night .”

Yarraville Club made a s low start to be 7-72 on day one. � e Clubbers eked out 169 on the back of a middle-order revival from Anthony Cristofaro (66) and Adam Contessa (29).

South Caul� eld’s chances were boosted by a hamstring injury to Clubbers captain Emmett Bronca.

When Bronca broke down, South had eroded a quarter of the runs needed for a � rst innings lead with only one wicket down, but it only served to galvanise the Clubbers.

Man of the match Richard Sherlock stepped up to take a � ve-wicket bag to have South all out for 134. But there was still plenty of time – two days – for the tide to turn.

� e Clubbers were backed into a corner at 5-56 with just 10 batsmen available on the third day as Mato tended to his wife in the maternity ward. Enter veteran Michael O’Keefe, who steadied the ship with 49. O’Keefe not only provided much-needed runs

but ensured Mato got a chance to bat on the fourth day, albeit on two hours’ sleep. Mato played a valuable role late in the innings as the Clubbers made 134, setting South a target of 169.

South were cruising for most of the fourth and � nal day to be 1-90. But it all changed when big-game player Matthew Murphy took six wickets to put the exclamation mark on yet another Clubbers premiership.

It was a double celebration for the Clubbers, who also took out the second XI premiership with a comfortable 119-run grand � nal win over Strathmore at the second oval at Cro� s Reserve . \

dogs eye gloryPREMIER Cricket

Footscray Edgewater has a chance to add to its one and only � rst XI premiership, won in 1979-80, a� er advancing to the Premier Cricket grand � nal for the � rst time in 34 years.

� e Bulldogs are on the verge of their second � ag in a district cricket history spanning 66 years since their elevation from sub-district ranks in 1948.

� ey will face Essendon, an inaugural district cricket member that has won two top-tier � ags in 108 years.

“I don’t think Essendon and Footscray are the two most fashionable sides playing o� for a premiership,” Bulldogs coach Steve Chapman quipped.

� e Bulldogs moved through to the decider with a 24-run win against Geelong in a semi-� nal at Merv Hughes Oval at the weekend.

� e players and coaching sta� enjoyed their victory on Sunday night, but it was back to preparing for the grand � nal when the working week arrived.

� e match will be a three-day a� air at the Junction Oval, starting Friday at 10.30am.

“I think it was important for the boys to enjoy it,” Chapman said. “Forget about the fact that it’s a grand � nal coming up that we’ve won the right to play in – it’s a big result, it’s a state semi-� nal, so we’re pretty happy.”

On paper, the Bulldogs’ 218 might have appeared a little dicey to defend, but Chapman was con� dent his side had enough on the board to satisfy the bowlers.

It proved to be a tricky wicket for the Bulldog batsmen early on, but once they

familiarised themselves with the conditions, runs could be made – as proven by skipper Dean Russ (56), Guy Walker (51) and Shanuka Dissanayake (45).

On the Sunday, the Bulldogs dismissed Geelong for 194.

“� at’s as good a � elding performance as I’ve seen from a Premier side this year,” Chapman said of his team.

Jake Haber� eld was again the game-breaker with the ball. � e opening bowler took his season tally to 53 wickets with 4-81 o� 23 overs.

“He was immense,” Chapman said. “He took wickets when we needed them the most.”

Haber� eld, 27, has been a breath of fresh air since crossing to the club from South Australia, and he continues to press for higher honours .

“For a fast bowler, he’s been unique,” Chapman said. “He hasn’t once complained about his workload; he hasn’t mentioned any sort of injury and we struggle to get the ball out of his hand. He’s just got an insatiable thirst for bowling.”

In a game that seesawed, Geelong appeared to be taking the upper hand on Sunday, requiring 58 runs with � ve wickets in hand.

Chapman turned to the experience of John Hastings, who ripped through the lower order and claimed James Crosthwaite for 118.

� e Bulldogs hold a 2-0 head-to-head lead over Essendon for the season, but both victories were gained in limited-overs matches.

� e sides have not met in a two-dayer since the opening round of 2012-13 in match that was drawn because of poor weather.\

injury adds to insult for burnt gatorsBasketball

Altona Gators are counting the cost of a nightmarish home opener in the Big V basketball men’s division 1.

Not only did the Gators surrender 91-82 to Mildura Heat at the Altona Sports Centre on Sunday, but they’ve lost big man Daniel Borbajo for an extended period a� er he broke his wrist dunking in the pre-game shoot- around. Borbajo faces up to 12 weeks on the sidelines.

“We’re not the biggest team and he’s probably our tallest and most athletic player,” Gators coach Des Radoslovic lamented.

“He swung on the ring a little bit and came o� and landed on his hand and it just popped it out sideways.”

� e Gators put a lot of work into nullifying Heat import Calvin Henry, only to get burnt by their other import, Reggie Fuller.

Fuller lit it up in the � rst quarter to have the Gators on the back foot from the outset and � nished with a massive 36 points and 19

rebounds. Henry was no slouch either with 29 points and 12 boards.

Once the Gators adjusted their defence to slow down the two-headed beast, they began to make inroads on a he� y de� cit that stood at 19 at one stage in the second term.

“We put a lot of emphasis on Calvin Henry, their star import, I suppose, but their second import, Reggie Fuller, had 15 points on us in the � rst quarter,” Radoslovic said.

“We didn’t stick to our speci� c plan to stop their team so we got ourselves into a bit of a hole.

“We switched our defence up in the second half and we did counter them and got it back to within two points.”

One hoop away from restoring parity, the Gators imploded to give up six points in the last 10 seconds of the third quarter.

Dan Ellul committed a reach-in foul and compounded the situation by receiving a technical foul for back chat.

“We sort of shot ourselves in the foot,” Radoslovic said. “� e referees are very hot on the reach-in fouls this season and one of our guards stole the ball, got called for a foul and turned around and pleaded with the ref and got given a tech.”

Isaac Deakin was impressive for the Gators in the � ghtback.

A raw 20-year-old from Brisbane studying at the Australian College of

Basketball in Melbourne, Deakin � lled the void le� by Borbajo to � nish with 18 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals.

“He was battling against their imports really well and had a decent

game himself,” Radoslovic said. “He’s got a bigger weight on his shoulders

now with Borbajo going down for a lengthy period.”

Joey Mausar led the Gators scorers with 20 points. � e Gators head to Warrnambool on Saturday night for the � rst of seven games on the road. \ LJ
