Lives on hold over port planBY CATHERINE WATSON

HUNDREDS of Lyndhurst and CranbourneSouth home owners could find themselves inlimbo — unable to sell or move — until thestate government finalises plans for the Portof Hastings.

The state government last month allocated$110 million over the next four years fordesign and planning for port and transportconnections, including a rail freight link alongthe Western Port Highway.

Slater & Gordon solicitor Ben Hardwicktold the Weekly residents could wait 10 ormore years for their properties to be com-pulsorily acquired or for the government to

dump the port plan. Adding to the uncer-tainty is the ALP’s opposition to the portdevelopment. Although the Hastings plan wasdeveloped under the former Labor govern-ment, the ALP now favours a Bay West optionnear Avalon.

Mr Hardwick said government announce-ments about long-term infrastructure createda lot of uncertainty. ‘‘Unfortunately, compuls-ory acquisition rights are only triggered whenthe government formally reserves landrequired for roads or rail.

‘‘It’s difficult for governments because theyneed to reserve land for infrastructureprojects but they don’t want to go too early.

‘‘But it causes real problems for those

in proximity to those corridors.’’Mr Hardwick, who acted for residents of

the western suburbs affected by the RegionalRail Link, said Casey residents should pressthe government to decide ‘‘sooner rather thanlater’’.

They should also be lobbying their MPs toclose gaps in laws covering compulsoryacquisition, he said.

Issue also arose for those living next to anycompulsory acquisitions who had no rights tocompensation for the loss in value of theirproperties. ‘‘People who could be affected bythis really should be lobbying now to get thelaw changed so it can be resolved as theproject proceeds.’’

Residents see redover rail route

Plans derailed: Lorraine Wilson is shocked by talk of a freight link runningstraight past her door in Cranbourne South. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

CRANBOURNE South residentLorraine Wilson is right in thefiring line when it comes to aproposed rail freight link fromthe Port of Hastings to Dande-nong South.

‘‘If they put a rail link there, I’llhave to look both ways before Istep out,’’ said Ms Wilson, whosehouse is just 25 metres from theWestern Port Highway, the pre-ferred route.

She said the proposed link havederailed her plans for the her2.5-hectare property, which shebought 13 years ago as an invest-ment for her retirement.

If the rail link proceeds, thegovernment would almost cer-tainly need to acquire the prop-erty. The uncertainty is when itwill happen and how much of theproperty it will buy.

‘‘I don’t do any work on myhouse any more. Why would Ibother when they’re probablygoing to demolish it?

‘‘Will they buy the whole lot? Ifthey only buy 30 metres, will theygive me enough to build a newhouse?’’

Ms Wilson is also concernedabout the impact on residents of anew housing estate betweenCranbourne-Frankston andThompson roads.

‘‘I wonder about the peoplewho’ve bought a brand newhouse for $400,000. Obviouslyno one told them ‘you’re going tohave a railway line next to you’.

‘‘The houses are all set backabout 40 metres — just farenough for a railway line.’’

Residents who recently movedinto the Marriott Waters estate in

Lyndhurst also fear disruption totheir lives, with a possible rail linewithin 50 metres of houses.

Abhijit Sahasrabudhe said hisfamily moved to the estate fivemonths ago because it was sopeaceful. Now he wonders what’sstore over the next few years.

Living right next to the West-ern Port Highway, he is particu-larly concerned about the health

effects of noise and air pollutionon his eight-month baby.

Casey Council has welcomedthe government’s commitment tothe port because of the boost tolocal employment, but residentssay it ignores the impact on them.

‘‘Have they stood beside afreight train line before?’’ asked aresident who did not wish to benamed.

Aylmer Road crossingI am disgusted that the current mayor has statedthat the campaign to stop a level crossing at AylmerRoad was misinformation (Your Voice, Weekly,April 22). How dismissive of resident concerns.

This is what the former mayor Shar Balmeswas quoted saying on Casey Council’s own websiteon March 11, 2011 re the Aylmer Road railcrossing: “Council is still prepared to fund a levelcrossing at the location, if allowed by the stategovernment.”

Further to this, councillors, including CrStapledon, only last year passed the 2012Lynbrook/Lyndhurst Development Plan, whichalso supported a level crossing at Aylmer Road.You cannot rewrite history. Many locals here inLynbrook and Lyndhurst remain very worriedabout the possibility of a level crossing at AylmerRoad.

The council has consistently supported a levelcrossing and to this date does so in writing.

Can we ask that you next write a letter demon-strating that you have news of an amendment tothe 2012 Lynbrook/Lyndhurst development planruling out any plans for a level crossing atAylmer Road?

Julia Welham, Lynbook

Re: ‘$100,000 tip fine benefits locals’Since when is it OK to bribe the public? If the EPAand council were serious about the nauseatingodours from this above-ground, so-called landfill,they would investigate why it stinks or close it downas it cannot be controlled.

A $100,000 fine is minimal to a huge companylike Sita. Is this a one-off fine or does the EPA haveto have multiple complaints before they can imposeanother fine for which the community ‘‘benefits’’?

People who reside within one kilometre of thelandfill have to keep their doors and windowsclosed. Goodness knows what the washing smellslike. How will a walk in the park be enjoyable?

People caught in this plight and whose propertiesare devalued deserve better.

Proud and humbledBY CHAD VAN ESTROP

Proud Aussie: Robert Sutcliffe

AT Pearcedale’s Anzac Day com-memorations last week, RobertSutcliffe was asked if he ownedthe medals pinned to the left sideof his jacket.

Traditionally war medalsworn on the left signify thoseearned from service with thearmed forces.

‘‘They must have thought Iwas too young to have served,’’he said.

Mr Sutcliffe, of Pakenham,may seem like any other brash 22year old but his medals tell a dif-ferent story.

They tell a tale of commitmentto protecting Australia and ayearning to serve, first sparkedwhen he was 10 years old.

‘‘I have long been fascinatedwith the weapons and the actionof the army.’’

Aged just 19, Mr Sutcliffeserved as a infantry soldier in theBaluchi Valley, Afghanistan, for

nine months in 2010-11. He isnow part of a new crop of‘young’ veterans.

He describes a tense scene inAfghanistan where ‘‘your nextstep could be your last’’ given theever-present threat posed by

improvised explosive devices.‘‘We were under immense pres-

sure, not knowing what wasaround the corner.’’

Despite the pride Mr Sutcliffefeels about his time in the army,he admits it has been ‘‘difficult’’to fit back into civilian life.

‘‘Your brain is trained to beactive for very long periods, it’shard to just chill out.’’

After discharging himself fromthe army last year, Mr Sutcliffehas begun training to become asecurity guard.

‘‘I’ve had it easy compared toothers. Some have come downwith post traumatic stress dis-order. It can get quite intense.’’

Mr Sutcliffe said he was hum-bled when two observers person-ally thanked him at thePearcedale dawn service.

‘‘It’s a nice thing that we arenow remembered.’’

Mr Sutcliffe said Anzac Daycommemorations made him‘‘proud to be Australian’’.

Headspace in the heart of town

Help at hand: Headspace, in Dandenong’s main street,will provide counsellors, psychologists, socialworkers and GPs.

BY CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLSand CATHERINE WATSON

DOCTORS and other health practitioners havewelcomed the opening of a new drop-in centre inDandenong for young people with mental healthissues.

Headspace Dandenong, in the former Saversbuilding in Lonsdale Street, will cater for 12-25year olds from throughout the south-easternsuburbs.

The federally funded service — founded bymental health expert Patrick McGorry in 2006and since replicated in 48 centres in Australia —will be a hub of counsellors, psychologists, socialworkers and GPs.

The centres aim to treat young people strug-gling with mental health issues before problemsescalate in their adult years.

South Eastern Health Providers Associationchairman Nick Demediuk, a member of theboard of South Eastern Melbourne MedicareLocal, which is running the centre, said it wouldmake a big difference in the south-east.

‘‘In Geelong since headspace opened, the youthsuicide rate went down and there was quite animprovement in people’s quality of life.’’

SEMML chief executive Anne Peek said health

agencies had been anxious to get a headspacecentre in Dandenong for several years.

The aim was for the centre to be youth-friendlybut with the privacy of a traditional healthservice, she said. ‘‘It still has to follow the tradi-tional set-up of a health service. It has individualconsultation rooms where they can talk withabsolute privacy. It is important to have youngpeople not feel exposed.’’

Ms Peek said a group of young people wereasked to advise on the bright, warm interiordesign.

‘‘It has to be somewhere young people will becomfortable in. They have to trust the service.

‘‘Our motto is to find the right support for anindividual.

‘‘We don’t turn anyone away. No one fallsthrough the cracks.

‘‘We can step in at an early age, tackling thingslike self-esteem, fitting in, confusion and sexual-ity. Otherwise, if you carry the burden of that in-to your older years, it can escalate.’’

She said the centre would reach out to theculturally diverse communities of Dandenongand Casey and venture into community groups,schools and health centres.

Early this month, the state governmentannounced a school support team from head-space would provide services, including assess-ment, training and student screening, to tackleyouth suicide in the region. Initially, the programwill focus on up to 12 schools that have beenaffected by suicide but it could be extended to upto 50 schools and two TAFE colleges.

Headspace Dandenong will open in earlyMay.

Government hitover panel axingA CASEY MP has accused the Napthinegovernment of trying to silence voices fromthe outer suburbs by axing a parliamentarycommittee set up to look after the growthareas.

Speaking in Parliament on April 19, NarreWarren South MP Judith Graley said theouter suburban/interface services and devel-opment committee was one of the few aven-ues for residents of growth suburbs to havetheir concerns heard.

The committee is being merged with thestate’s economic development and infrastruc-ture committee. Ms Graley, who is deputychairwoman of the committee, said the com-mittee had made 483 recommendations tothe government on infrastructure require-ments in the outer suburbs but had yet tohear back on many of them.

‘‘This doesn’t surprise me, because some ofthese issues require an enormous amount ofwork on the part of the state government.’’

Casey Council’s chief executive officerMike Tyler said residents would still have avoice directly to a parliamentary committeecharged with examining issues relating togrowth suburbs.

Thumbs down fortruancy fine planBY CATHERINE WATSON

SCEPTICAL Casey residents have given Educa-tion Minister Martin Dixon a D-minus for hisplan to fine parents of truant children.

State Parliament is considering a bill thatwould make parents liable for a $70 fine if theirchild is absent for five days in a year without areasonable excuse.

When the Weekly asked shoppers at Centro inCranbourne their views, several pointed out thatparents had limited control once their childrenreached adolescence.

Elijah Bruzzesi said he was sceptical of thegovernment’s motives. ‘‘They would catch a fewparents and make an example of them. I think alot of politicians are scrambling to find easyanswers.’’

Edie Paterson thought fining parents wouldonly create more family problems without redu-cing truancy and 17-year-old friends SharmaineCarey and Shae Kelsen described it as a stupidplan.

Sharmaine, who regularly wagged school, said

fining parents would just make them angry andShae said: ‘‘They’ll just end up taking their kidsout of school. I didn’t go to school for two-threemonths. I went back to school — I’d turned mylife around — and they’d unenrolled me. TAFEwas way better than school.’’

Fred Wellzen said creating the right environ-ment so children wanted to go to school was amore practical solution than punishing parents.

He recalled a period when he was unhappy at anew school and wagged for about six weeks. ‘‘Igot a walloping from my father when he foundout. Eventually, I settled in and went back toschool.’’

Julie Hartnett was the only one who thoughtthe plan might work, although she admitted shehad done her share of wagging as a child.

Her friend Amy Vaughan recalled doing thesame but said wagging wasn’t such a big deal inher day because the streets were safer and therewas less kidnapping.

Victorian Education Union state secretaryMeredith Peace said the plan would unfairlytarget already vulnerable families.

OPINION

Fred Wellzen, Chelsea Heights:‘‘I think it’s nonsense. These areprobably people struggling enough asit is. They probably need supportmore than a fine.’’

Edie Paterson, Cranbourne: ‘‘Thechildren would probably just ignoretheir parents. I think peer pressure isstronger than parental opinion.’’

Sharmaine Carey, Cranbourne: ‘‘It’spretty stupid because there’s nothingadults can do to make kids stopwagging.’’

Shae Kelsen, Narre Warren: ‘‘I usedto wag all the time. I didn’t likeschool. I wanted to work and earnmoney. TAFE was way better thanschool.’’

Amy Vaughan, Carrum Downs: ‘‘Mymum was lenient. Those days weredifferent. It was much safer. Youdidn’t have to worry aboutkidnappers.’’

Elijah Bruzzesi, Somerville:‘‘Parents don’t have much influence ifthe child doesn’t want to go toschool. It’s a lot to do with peerpressure.’’

Should parents be fined if their children wag school?


FEATURESTORY

Closing the health gap, slowlyAiling health in remoteindigenous communitieshas been a nationalconcern. But on ourdoorsteps, an Aboriginalco-operative is trying toreverse a set of sick-looking statistics.CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS reports.

The doc’s in: ValentinaGalak. Pictures: Gary Sissons

All ears: Alf McCartney.Campaigners: Andrew Gardiner, boardmember Margaret Gardiner and co-opmember Sharon Kirkpatrick.

‘We say to them theirkids need to read andwrite. Don’t keep themdown to your standard.’

— Andrew Gardiner

No-smoking posters plasterednext to the rainbow serpentand the galaxy dot-painting

murals are a sign of the times at theDandenong and District AboriginesCo-operative.

The co-op is a support hub for a4000-strong indigenous catchmentextending over east and south-eastMelbourne to Gippsland, with 1400patients on its health clinic’s books.

Its smoking ban is one correctivestep in the aim of ‘‘closing the gap’’between indigenous Australians’health and the rest of the community.

The latest statistics show that 45 percent of Aboriginal Australians aredaily smokers — double the nationalaverage.

Chief executive Andrew Gardinersays the co-op had to tread gently toforce many of its members to kick theunhealthy habit on-site.

‘‘We couldn’t just say you can’tsmoke here,’’ Gardiner says.

‘‘We put up white notices to warnbeforehand to say the organisation isgoing smoke-free. Last July, wechanged the notices to red.’’

As part of the program, a bin forcigarette butts was placed in CarrollAvenue, off-site and in front of theco-operative’s on-site BunurongAboriginal Health Services clinic. It’soften surrounded with waywardlydisposed of butts.

Anti-smoking is one of manycampaigns waged against chronic ‘life-style’ illnesses such as heart diseaseand diabetes by the health service andco-operative.

There’s a good reason. On average,there’s a 11.5-year life expectancy gapbetween indigenous and non-indigenous males, and 9.7 years forfemales.

In one way it’s more like a 60-yeartime warp. The life expectancy forAboriginal Australians is the same asthe general population’s was in 1955.

Smoking is one pointer to ill health.An Australian Bureau of Statisticsreport states indigenous smokers arethree times more likely to be bingedrinking than non-smokers.

Other alarming statistics include the

high incidence of low birth weights,stillbirths and infant mortality amongindigenous families.

The co-op will get a share of the$4.6 billion Closing the Gap federaland state government program toimprove Aboriginal health, housingand education.

This month, the state governmentannounced funding of $61.7 millionover four years for the cause. The fed-erally funded co-op expects none ofthis funding but the Victorian Abori-ginal Community Controlled HealthOrganisation welcomed it as anotherstep towards overcoming indigenousdisadvantage.

Gardiner says unaffordable hous-ing, unemployment and leaving schoolearly are among the pillars of poorhealth — issues that aren’t solvedovernight.

‘‘In the end, patients have to takeresponsibility for their own health.They can’t abrogate that to a doctor.

‘‘If you haven’t got good health, you

can’t do anything.’’ One of the hall-marks of the co-op’s Koori-only clinicis the ‘‘long consultation’’ between itsGPs and patients.

Its two doctors take the time to findout about the patient’s family andbackground.

‘‘Basically the long consultation isfinding out whether the family has ahistory of heart disease, diabetes,cancer — all those things that arehereditary,’’ Gardiner says.

‘‘A lot of other doctors may over-look things like asking, ‘do you haveallergies?’. We don’t treat [people] likethey’re on a conveyor belt.’’

The clinic’s suite of health servicesincludes general practice, dentalhealth, sexual health, maternal andearly childhood health, mental health,counselling and transport for mem-bers from all over Victoria.

Valentina Galak has been a GP atthe co-op since migrating as a refugeefrom the then-Soviet Union in 1981.She sticks to the clinic partly out ofloyalty — ‘‘(these were) the only peo-ple that would employ me’’.

She feels anguished about the num-bers of patients who are long-termunemployed — she says it’s a rut set by

their parents and upbringing.‘‘I feel what they need is more

education. I know that doesn’t happenquickly.’’

One of the co-op’s other key staff isAlf McCartney, who on the surfaceappears to be a cheery mini-van driver.

He brings members and the sick tothe clinic for annual health checks andother appointments, but his gambitshave an uncanny knack of breakingthe ice.

His empathy can unlock a reticientpatient, helping them share vitaldetails about their family and medicalhistory.

‘‘He gets a captive audience insidethat taxi. On top of that, he’s anAboriginal elder and he’ll advisethem,’’ Gardiner says.

Early childhood health and educa-tion is another key plank of futurehealth. For instance, there’s a relativescourge of underweight infants whoface developmental delays and futurehealth struggles. The co-op hosts aplaygroup for mutual socialising and

support among mothers. It is alsopushing parents to get interested intheir children’s education, to theextent that the co-op advises schoolsto send letters to parents telling themof impending teacher-parent nights.

‘‘A lot of parents were disengagedfrom the school because of the thingsthat happened at their own school.

‘‘We say to them their kids need toread and write. Don’t keep them downto your standard.’’

There are also practical programssuch as ‘let’s go shopping’ tours as away of warding off the risk of type 2diabetes and other chronic illness.

‘‘Some say we just buy crappy foodbecause it’s all we can afford. Well,let’s go to the market and see howmuch fresh food costs. We then takethem through the cooking process,alert them to sugar and fat content onfood labels.’’

The co-op also helps clean andmaintain the homes of elderly anddisabled members, chips in forschooling and clothing costs, hosts atraditional dance group and runs anolder persons activity group.

Through South East MedicareLocal, the co-op has been advising theregion’s GPs, psychologists andoptometrists on how to treat indig-enous people with cultural sensitivity.

‘‘They ask, ‘How do we talk toAboriginal people?’ I say it’s easy toput into practice. It’s how you engagewith them,’’ Gardiner says.

Among the 150-plus nationalitiesliving in Dandenong and the east andsouth-east of Melbourne, the FirstAustralians still feel overlooked.

‘‘We’re not fully integrated in soci-ety. People know there’s an Aboriginalcommunity but they don’t know muchabout it,’’ Mr Gardiner says. ‘‘Thepoint of Welcome to Country isrespect to elders past and present.We’re still here — people who arestrong in their family and communityvalues — and we want to be part of thewider community.’’

He sees the frustration of Africancommunity elders, who say theiryouth don’t listen to them. ‘‘This iswhat we went through in the 1950s.We saw 15 and 16 year olds gettingpregnant and the elders lost a level ofcontrol.’’

The co-op is taking part in anAustralian Institute of Health andWelfare study. Gardiner expectsimprovements in health outcomes toshow in this year’s stage 1 report.

‘‘We’ve had a lot of kids reachingyear 12, more than 10 year ago. Overthat time we’ve had more engagementat schools and more support systems.

‘‘Education is their way out.’’

INBRIEF

Labor wins Lyndhurst on low voteLabor candidate Martin Pakula has claimed

victory in the Lyndhurst state byelection despite

a historically low primary vote in the traditionally

safe ALP seat. After counting on Saturday night,

the ALP primary vote had plunged to 40.9 per

cent. Its first-preference vote had previously

never dipped below 50 per cent. Mr Pakula’s

spokesman did not wish to comment on the

14.6 per cent swing against Labor, instead

declaring it was ‘‘the first day of the Napthine

minority government’’. The Liberal-National

Coalition — which did not field a candidate —

and Labor now have 43 lower house seats

each, with Frankston independent MP and

former Liberal Geoff Shaw holding the balance

of power. There were large swings for minor

parties in the byelection: Family First’s Stephen

Nowland polled second on primaries with 14.1

per cent, followed by Geraldine Gonsalvez

(Democratic Labor Party), Hung Vo

(independent) and Nina Springle (Greens). Mr

Pakula replaces Tim Holding, who had been in

Parliament since 1999.

‘Hoons’ nabbed at Fountain GatePolice arrested seven people and issued

‘‘many’’ infringement and defect notices after

about 100 vehicles and 200 people converged

on the Fountain Gate shopping centre car park

last Tuesday night. Sergeant Roger Child, of

Cranbourne police, said the hoon meeting was

set up on Facebook. Highway patrol units from

Casey, Dandenong and Cardinia attended.

Immigration raid deniedThe Department of Immigration has denied

reports that it raided a Hindu temple in Carrum

Downs earlier this month. The alleged raid on

April 5 was reported in the South Asia Times. A

spokesman for the department, Steve Pivetta,

said there was no raid but departmental officers

visited the temple as part of an ongoing

investigation. He declined to give more details.

Driver fined for blocking trafficA Narre Warren woman who blocked traffic near

the Fountain Gate Primary School crossing at

school pick-up time had her licence suspended

for six months and was fined $600. The woman

was prosecuted by Casey Council in the

Dandenong Magistrates Court. The court was

told that in July 2012 local laws officers

observed her overtaking a council vehicle in a

dangerous manner, blocking traffic next to a

school crossing and creating an unsafe

situation at school pick-up time.

Gag order challengedFormer Casey councillor Paul Richardson will

seek to have a Casey Council gagging order

lifted. Mr Richardson, who has been banned

from asking questions at council meetings

since 2011, has applied to the Victorian Civil

and Administrative Tribunal to lift the order. A

directional hearing will be heard on May 6, three

days before Mr Richardson is scheduled to

appear in the Dandenong Magistrates Court on

charges of trespassing in the council chambers

and resisting arrest. On April 3 last year, Mr

Richardson, a councillor from 2005-08, was

marched from the chamber in handcuffs after

he allegedly refused an order to leave.

Ambo wait time doublesAmbulances spent almost 400 hours a month

waiting outside Casey Hospital in the second

half of last year, figures from Ambulance

Victoria show. The figure was obtained under

freedom of information by the Labor Party,

which claimed ambulance waiting times had

doubled under Coalition rule. Waiting times at

Casey Hospital increased from 193 hours a

month in 2009-10 to 393 hours a month in 2012.

Manage your elm, owners toldCasey’s elm tree owners are on their own after

the council decided to stop treating Dutch elm

disease in privately owned trees. Over the

past 10 years, the council has heavily

subsidised a stem injection treatment. Last

year, it paid a contractor $17,956 to treat 193,

with owners paying just $27 a tree.

Nelly’s amazing journey comes to an endBY NARELLE COULTER

Fond farewell: An adoring crowd farewelled Black Caviar at Caulfield.Picture: Luis Enrique Ascui/Sunday Age

AFTER making public their decisionto retire champion racehorse BlackCaviar, the mare’s owners gathered fora private lunch.

They raised their glasses to thechampion seven year old whoseunbroken run of 25 wins captured theimagination of the nation.

Among them were Narre WarrenSouth part-owners Jannene and ColinMadden.

‘‘We toasted her and thanked her forwhat she had done,’’ Mrs Maddensaid. ‘‘We wanted to thank her private-ly, away from the view of the cameras,for all the pleasure she has given usand our families.’’

Days earlier, the Maddens hadcheered on Black Caviar — ‘Nelly’ toall associated with her — as she strodeto her 25th straight win in Sydney. Atthe time they didn’t know the racewould be her last.

The owners met with trainer PeterMoody on April 17. After listening tothe man who knows her best, they

were unanimous — the time was rightfor one of the world’s great gallopersto step away from the spotlight andstart the next phase of her life.

‘‘She does have a few issues, so wethought why get her ready for springwhen something drastic couldhappen? We always knew she wouldlet us know when it was time.’’

It was an emotional day for every-one involved with the history-makinghorse. As managing owner NeilWerrett addressed the assembledmedia, tears welled in the eyes of PeterMoody. Strapper Donna Fisher wasvisibly upset as she led Black Caviar inthe sodden mounting yard.

The ownership group has strongsouth-east ties with connections goingback decades. Mrs Madden’s sisterlives on the Mornington Peninsula, MrWerrett grew up at Keysborough.Other part-owners live at Harkaway.Some friendships were cemented bychildren attending St Margaret’s,Berwickand it was at Cranbourneracecourse that the mare ran her firstpublic trial in March 2009.

One of Mrs Madden’s fondestmemories occurred a world away fromthe glamour of the racetrack. It wasseveral months after Black Caviar’sheart-stopping win in the presence of

the Queen at Royal Ascot last June.‘‘I went to see her at Murchison. She

was in a paddock with a smelly goatand a little pony in a country environ-ment. I went up to her and spoke to

her and said ‘The last time I saw you,you had the Queen patting your nose’.She was at home in both arenas.’’

Ascot will be remembered as BlackCaviar’s greatest win. It was alsowhere a rival came closest to snatchingvictory and ending her historicwinning streak.

‘‘When she went to Ascot it wasworld news and she was able to comeaway holding her head high and, as wenow know, she was not at her best, butshe gave it her all and went on to win.’’

That win, Mrs Madden said, was ahallmark of the tenacity and heart ofBlack Caviar. She describes her as arelaxed horse who has a ‘‘mind of herown’’. ‘‘She is happy to let people lookin on her, as if to say ‘I’m not puttingmy head out [of the stall] for anyone’.She know’s she’s special.’’

Mrs Madden hopes she and her hus-band will see Black Caviar ‘‘from timeto time’’ , and have the enticing pro-spect of progeny from their star mare.

‘‘We’re very pleased people realisethe decision we made was in her bestinterest.’’

Music soothes the pain ofa homeland left behind

Sad song: Taqi Khan’s music expresses the sorrow he feels for the troubledhistory of Afghanistan’s minority Hazara people. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY KAREN COOMBS

HAZARA refugee Taqi Khan admitsboarding an Indonesian boat bound forAustralia was the act of a desperate man.

It was, he says, the only way to save hislife and his music.

Born in Afghanistan, Mr Khan soughtasylum in Australia 2009. Now settled inNarre Warren, he maintains a strongbond with the land of his birth throughhis love of traditional Hazara folk music.

Mr Khan’s ethnic Hazara parents fledto Pakistan when he was three.

"It always makes me sad when Iremember that time when I was a child,we didn’t have food and a place to stay,we couldn’t play. I am always very sadand I can’t forget.’’

Mr Khan studied music in Pakistanunder Hazara music teachers whoencouraged his talent. He wasimprisoned twice for his political activityand promotion of Hazara culture.

Despite risking his life to come to Aus-tralia he insists he had no choice.

‘‘It was the only way to save my life,the only way to save my music.’’

The one thing that alleviates the sad-ness is music — ‘‘it makes me happy, itconnects me to my past, my culture andmy people’’.

Now Mr Khan helps keep the richmusical tradition of the Hazara peoplealive in a new land.

‘‘When I am performing for my peoplehere [in Australia], when my people aredancing and enjoying my music, I becomehappy because I see them happy.

‘‘In my country, no one is allowed. Theextremist people, they don’t like them[singing and playing music].

‘‘Here in Australia, I’m very happybecause I can perform, I can sing for mypeople.’’

Mr Khan plays the harmonium, singsand composes and among his originalcompositions is a song for refugees,

which he hopes carries a healing message.He performed the song at a concert in

front of an audience of 900 Hazararefugees from the Broadmeadows deten-tion centre.

"When I was singing they were crying,it’s a very sad song. We want to show weare still [suffering from] genocide, weface too many problems.’’

Mr Khan has started experimenting bymixing Hazara folk songs with more con-temporary pop sounds and filming videoclips for YouTube.

The internet has allowed him to sharehis music and his message with Hazarapeople around the world.

Next month, Mr Khan will perform atthe 10th Emerge Festival in Fitzroy.

‘‘It will be very good because we shouldunderstand each other. I really like it, it isa big opportunity.

‘‘I’m so thankful to Multicultural ArtsVictoria. I’m very happy when I see theother musicians from other cultures.’’

! What could be more boring than

Celebrating International Museum Day!well

The famed English Magazine Country Life – often found in doctor’s

waiting rooms was fi rst published in 1897 – and it could be argued that

it played an important part in promoting an appreciation of beautiful

stuff – country house visiting, poking around in palaces et al!.

Beleura has a huge collection of these extraordinary magazines all

bound – the earliest from 1911 and giving advice on how to manage

one’s train, or breeding sheep!.

A day to leaf through these wonderful volumes, and revel in the past.

On Friday 17th May Anthony Knight will host a chat about Country

Life Magazines. The infl uence their articles and philosophy has had

over the years.

A day, anything but boring we assure you!

Champagne with lunch and a good snoop in the house!

Plans afoot onsoccer revampTHE most extensive soccer reform ever under-taken in Victoria is counting down to decisiontime as Football Federation Victoria awaitsapplications for its new state league structure.

The National Premier Leagues Victoria is setto become the top state league competition as of2014 and the FFV is waiting for expressions ofinterest.

While the FFV has remained tight-lippedabout any expressions of interest received so far,The Weekly understands the number of applica-tions that will be submitted by the May 31 dead-line will be in double figures.

Football Federation Australia is rolling out itsnational premier leagues model to fill what itbelieves are ‘‘key gaps in the talented playerdevelopment pathway’’.

The overhaul will result in the end of thespring-summer youth competition VictorianChampions League and divide winter FFVleagues into NPLV and community competitions.

The divide means NPLV clubs will act as repre-sentative clubs for ‘‘zones’’ to be set by FFV, andmay only recruit players from the communityclubs of their catchment area.

The FFV is requiring a clear separationbetween NPLV clubs and community clubs, oneor the other, meaning a successful NPLV outfitcannot also field teams in community divisions.

At this stage the FFV is asking for ‘‘applic-ants’’, meaning existing clubs in their currentform can apply to be part of the NPLV, as well asmerged clubs or even newly formed entities.

However, the FFV has also released an extens-ive checklist of requirements for any applicant.These include the mandatory fielding of 12grades and a limit of one junior team per grade.

The NPLV men’s and women’s leagues will, intheory, then replace the existing VPL and WVPLcompetitions.

To put the requirements in context, the onlyexisting FFV club with a team in both the men’sand women’s premier leagues is South Mel-bourne.

An extensive list of coaching credentialsrequired for each NPLV grade, from under-12sup to open age, has also been published by theFFV.

A player points cap for open age teams hasbeen formulated, which the FFV has stated in itsofficial documentation is expected to ‘‘drivedown the total senior men’s payments by encour-aging home-grown and youth players’’ because‘‘player payments have become a drain on clubsthreatening the ongoing viability of some clubs’’.

The FFV has said it intends to have two NPLVconferences to cover the entire state, should num-bers allow.

The Weekly understands that a minimum ofeight suitable applications are needed to form theNPLV.

The Weekly will cover the ongoing reform ofVictorian soccer and is interested in your feed-back from any level in the game. — Teo Pellizzeri

Huntress bumps off her rivalsEXCITING two-year-old filly The Huntress hasemulated champion mare Black Caviar inwinning today’s feature Catanach’s JewellersStakes (1100m) at Caulfield.

The recently retired superstar also won thisrace (formerly known as the Blue Sapphire) ather second career start after similarly winningimpressively in town on debut.

Though nobody expects the Cranbourne-based Mick Kent-trained daughter of Husson tomeasure up to Black Caviar’s lofty standards,Kent’s racing manager Craig Arrowsmith saidThe Huntress was a lovely horse with a brightfuture.

“We actually looked for reasons not to acceptwith her on Wednesday but she did so wellfollowing her last run at Sandown that we had toaccept,” Arrowsmith said.

“While she’s not a really precocious two-year-

old, she’s just been extremely professional ineverything that she’s done.

“She’ll go to Scone in three weeks for the Inglisrace (2YO Challenge, 1100m) and we may evenspell her up there after that and look towards theMelbourne spring.”

After settling towards the rear of the field onthe inside, jockey Glen Boss had to patiently waitfor a gap to appear at the top of the straight.

The Huntress’ task got more complicatedwhen she got a bump along the run.

Though it appeared Tonyboy ($5) had all themomentum on her outside, The Huntressshowed an impressive will to win to complementher turn of foot. She ran away from Tonyboyover the concluding stages to score a one-lengthvictory. Churchill Dancer was a further half alength away in third position.

Speaking after the race, Boss said it was a good

win, given the severity of the bump at the top ofthe straight.

“She just oozes quality and has got a very effi-cient action. She hardly touches the ground whenshe runs along.”

“They raced very slowly along the side of thetrack.

‘‘She was jammed up behind horses for most ofthe race and the bump was quite severe, but shekept her composure.

“It ended up a soft victory and she’s a horsewith a very good future.”

The victory took Boss to 59 metropolitan winsfor the season, 16 clear of Cranbourne’s CraigWilliams, who leaves for Japan on Monday insecond position, and 19 ahead of the maindanger to his Melbourne jockey’s premiershipchances — Luke Nolen, who sits in third positionon 40 wins.

Comets pipCity at post

Out of action: SimonWebster missed theComets’ narrow winover Berwick City onSaturday.

Picture: Rob Carew

CASEY Comets conceded their first goal for theFFV State League 3 season but defeated BerwickCity 2-1 in front of a big crowd at Jack ThomasReserve on Friday night.

Comets coach Stan Webster was forced tomake several changes with Simon Webster(suspended) and Matthew Morris-Thomas(injured) both out of their line-up.

It paved the way for new Scottish signingFrank Gibson and youngster Adrian Mirauta tomake their debuts for the club.

The Comets conceded their first goal for theseason in the 15th minute when Pedro Sequeirabeat a couple of players near the top of the Caseyarea before getting his shot away.

The ball bounced over the outstretched handof keeper Robbie Acs into the net.

Berwick City was having the better of the firsthalf and could have gone 2-0 up when Sequeiramissed an opportunity.

Gibson nearly made his Comets debut memor-able when he almost got the ball past BerwickCity keeper Steve Ancevski.

Mirauta then had a golden opportunity but hemissed, leaving the Comets a goal down at half-time.

Casey was more positive in the second halfwith Gibson putting a header over the bar beforea penalty was awarded against Michael Francoof Berwick for a foul on Mirauta in the 55thminute.

Gibson slotted it away to put Casey back on

level terms and put his name on the scorer’s sheetin his first game for the club.

Berwick had a penalty shout turned down for afoul on Grant Lane a few minutes later.

Orlando Mejias of Berwick put one wide of thepost before Joe Ryan had Acs tip a long shot overthe bar shortly afterwards.

Then Scott Webster had a shot touched pastthe post by Ancevski for a corner.

Casey took the lead in the 70th minute follow-ing a foul by Lane on Webster about 25 metresout.

Gibson hit a curling shot around the wall justinside Ancevski’s left-hand post.

Sean McLaughlan curled one just over thecorner of the goal with his left foot and Berwickwent straight up the other end to force anothersave from Acs.

Pakenham packs a punch to hand out another loss for CavsCASEY Cavaliers suffered theirsecond successive Big V division 2loss with Pakenham eclipsing them80-55 at Cardinia Life on Saturdaynight.

Pakenham ace Jeff Reid led theway with 24 points and Jay Ferriers(15 points) was also instrumental inthe victory. Ash Szalek was the bestfor the Cavs with 14 points and

nine rebounds. The Casey Cavalierswomen’s team notched a 47-35 winover Melbourne University withJessica Szalek scoring 18 points anddragging down eight rebounds.

Leah Swain was solid with 12rebounds.

Scorps musclepast SeagullsBY BRAD McGRATH

Windy night: Jack Fitzpatrick marks strongly in Casey Scorpions’ win over Williamstownon Saturday night. Picture: Gary Sissons

CASEY Scorpions’ greater physicalityproved too much for Williamstown inwindy conditions at Casey Fields onSaturday night.

The Scorpions took their record to4-0 with the 14.8 (92) to 9.15 (69) winover another VFL finals contender.

The home team busted the gameopen in the third term to take a34-point lead into the final change.

But with the Seagulls coming homewith a howling wind, an injury toyoung star Jesse Hogan and ChrisDawes’ lack of match fitness meant theScorpions had just two fit players onthe bench in the final term.

Scorpions coach Rohan Welsh saidhe urged his team to keep pressure onthe ball carrier and back themselves tostill attack despite the wind.

“I sort of knew we didn’t want to gototally defensive — we had the realmindset that that when we get thefooty we can still score — when we gotthe footy we still attacked.”

Williamstown had a staggering 25inside-50s in the final term but theattacks were continuously repulsed bythe Scorpions defenders. Former cap-tain Kyle Matthews, playing his firstsenior game of the season, typifiedtheir spirit by putting his body on theline several times.

“Just our ability for our forwards towork and keep the ball inside 50 wasjust sensational,” Welsh said.

“Fitzy [Jack Fitzpatrick] is 200cmand he really worked hard to keep theball in and then look at our defenders— they had 25 inside-50s in the lastquarter for two or three goals, so theefforts of our defenders in the lastquarter were just sensational.’’

Dawes, who is coming back frominjury and is yet to make his debut forMelbourne, took several strong marks,including intercepting a kick-in in thethird term and converting from closerange.

Former Berwick midfielder NathanPage provided one of the highlights ofthe match with a brilliant snap in thethird term.

Williamstown coach Peter Germansaid the Scorpions had proven to be thebetter team and pondered whetherthey might be the best team in the com-petition. “We had to play better rightacross this field. We had half a dozenblokes who hardly touched the balltonight and you need to play as a team.

“I just think they were a lot stronger,more physical and they smashed usaround the stoppages.

“At the moment they are [a verygood side] — they just might be thebest side in it.”

Melbourne rookie James Magnerwas a pillar at the stoppages for theScorpions, finishing with 32 posses-sions. Defender Lynden Dunn was alsoinstrumental in the victory with 35possessions.

Tom Couch was influential in the

clinches and Jack Fitzpatrick bootedfour goals in difficult conditions fortall forwards. The Scorpions lost JamesSellar before the game with an illness,allowing Matthews to step into thesenior outfit. Hogan received a corked

knee and will face a fitness test beforethe Scorpions’ next match.

Casey Scorpions clash with PortMelbourne at North Port Oval from2pm Saturday.

Baskaya magic drives Magpies over BerwickNARRE Warren showed it is hungry for more CaseyCardinia League success with a crushing 101-pointvictory over Berwick at Kalora Park on Saturday.

Magpies coach Chris Toner was full of praise forhis brilliant outfit, which mercilessly kicked 24.20(164) to 9.9 (63) to notch up their third win for theseason.

‘‘We played exceptionally well,’’ he said.‘‘There were four young blokes who are only 18,

and they haven’t played in a premiership yet so thereis no reason for them not to be hungry.

‘‘There are seven or eight new faces.’’Kerem Baskaya was a driving force in the huge vic-

tory and in a worrying sign for opposition clubs,Toner believes the key forward is an even betterplayer this season.

‘‘His pressure was fantastic — it’s not just aboutthe goals,’’ he said.

‘‘He is getting his head around now that he needsto tackle and put pressure on.

‘‘He’s 30 years old now and probably got two orthree years of footy left and trying to get the most out

of himself before it’s all over.’’ Berwick came out fullof fight early with Kristian Meredith, Nick Sear andAndrew Tuck helping them remain in touch at thefirst change.

The Magpies began to exert their dominance in thesecond term to take a 28-point lead into the longchange, but from there it got ugly.

Kain Baskaya was pivotal, floating through severalpositions, and Colin McNamara and Matthew Leewere also highly influential for the Magpies.

Stewart Scanlon booted six majors to provideanother target alongside the rampant Baskaya as theMagpies restricted Berwick to just one goal in thesecond half.

‘‘I couldn’t find too many faults,’’ Toner said.Doveton recorded one of its best wins in recent

seasons with a gutsy 12-point victory over Beacons-field in blustery conditions at Holm Park Reserve onSaturday.

In what shaped as an intriguing battle between twoteams who are likely to be fighting for a position inthe Casey Cardinia League top five, Doveton’s

greater spread of contributors was telling in the 7.18(60) to 6.12 (48) victory.

Beaconsfield coach Clint Evans said his team hadbeen undisciplined when it counted and had failed totake advantage of the strong wind in the second termafter restricting Doveton to a four-point lead at thefirst change.

Doveton finally kicked into gear in the third term,booting 5.7 to a solitary behind to take a 29-pointbuffer into the final change.

Beaconsfield defenders Kane Airdrie and CleytonBertoncello were important while Jesse Linkins did agood job shadowing Michael Henry.

‘‘Credit to Doveton — they were better at winningthe contested ball,’’ Evans said. ‘‘We’re just not play-ing four quarters of footy at the moment.’’
