mosque bid to raise street’s spiritual temperaturecoolaroo

If Adelaide is known as the city of churches, Kyabram Street in Coolaroo could come to be dubbed the spirituality strip of Hume’s city of all faiths.

If plans become projects, Christian crosses and Muslim minarets could co-exist along a stretch of a couple of kilometres – beacons of higher realms among car yards and industrial lots.

� e Weekly understands Hume council is likely to receive another planning permit

stalwarts John and Sonya Rutherford. A date has not yet been set for the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal’s hearing into their challenge, but the group is busy fund-raising to underwrite the VCAT appeal.

RMIT’s intercultural studies professor Desmond Cahill believes this will be “an extremely interesting case” and one which will test VCAT’s role to treat all faiths as equals.

“I’d like to see the Victorian Multicultural Commission called in to help sort this out,” he said. “I would hope that, in association

application for a second mosque, 100 metres along the same block as the Shia Muslim Al Sadiq Foundation mosque planned for next door to St Mary’s Ancient Church of the East.

In August, this � rst application sparked emotional protests at the council’s town planning meeting from the Iraqi Christian congregation of St Mary’s, many of whom are still in grief from their displacement from Iraq at the hands of cross-factional � ghting among their Muslim neighbours.

� eir cause has been taken up by Broadmeadows Progress Association (BPA)

with the interfaith groups, they could bring the various parties together in the interests of religious freedom, social cohesion and inter-religious harmony.”

But Professor Cahill is less con� dent the BPA will achieve the con� ict resolution required .

“� ey would be ill-equipped to play a role in dealing with the issues of religious freedom and inter-religious harmony that are at stake, nor have the techniques of con� ict resolution,” he said.\

Dropping their school colours for a day in lycra, a group of 14 students from Hume Central Secondary College will put their � tness to the test on Sunday when they join about 16,000 cyclists for Australia’s largest mass-participation one-day bike ride .

� e students (pictured) will raise money for the Smith Family when they tackle the 21st Bupa Around the Bay ride, using pedal power to make their contribution towards the $1.275 million target, which goes towards helping young Australians in need.

Smith Family’s Victorian general manager, Anton Leschen, said the money would enable the charity to support almost 2 500 disadvantaged primary school children for a year .

“� e Smith Family believes education has the power to transform lives, not just

minds, providing long-term support for young Australians from primary school to senior school

and on to tertiary studies, if they choose,” Mr Leschen said.

“Our support includes a� er-school learning clubs, where students can get help with their homework from skilled tutors.

“We also provide � nancial assistance to help children and their families cover the costs of school books, uniforms and extra-curricular activities.”

While registration fees for the event go directly to Bicycle Network to run the event, the Smith Family bene� ts when participants decide to raise funds as well as ride. \ HG

building sales stun parishionersuniting church

Uniting Church parishioners say they are deeply hurt by the sale of 56 Victorian properties as their leaders try to recoup a $56 million debt incurred by last year’s collapse of Acacia College at Mernda North.

A� ected churches in north-western suburbs include Glenroy, Brunswick West, Strathmore, Sydenham, Williamstown North and Yarraville.

A kindergarten in Upland Road, Strathmore, will also be sold, as will halls in Williamstown North and Brunswick West.

� e head of one of two Moreland Uniting churches forced to shut has slammed the head o� ce’s decision as “brutal”. � e minister of St David’s in Brunswick West, Andrew Vigus, said the decision was

“less than Christian”. “We got a phone call and were told they were going. We’ll be out in three months,” he said. “� ere has never been a letter, personal communication or any form of consultation”

� e Uniting Church said it consulted with presbyteries over the past � ve months

to identify properties suitable for sale.“While this divestment process is a very important decision for the future of the church, we understand it will cause upheaval and upset

for some across our community,” synod general secretary Rev Dr Mark

Lawrence said. But Mr Vigus said closing Glenroy’s church would devastate the community. “It’s an appalling, brutal decision,” he said. “� ey have a substantial congregation who have no other church nearby. � e way the church has gone about raising money has been less than

Christian. You would almost call it evil.”St David’s parishioner Graeme Wilde said

his grandmother was at the meeting 105 years ago that determined there should be a church in Brunswick West.

“My parents were married there, both were buried from that church and various members of my family have had weddings, funerals and baptisms,” he said.

He said the “arbitrary, dispassionate” way the church authorities selected which churches to sell seemed like a “quick-� x” business decision.

A Uniting Church spokesman said pastoral and relocations support would be o� ered to presbyteries to ensure they had the resources they needed. � e spokesman said the sales will stop once $56 million was raised, meaning some properties may not be sold. \

MAKE SCAN YOUR PLAN: birthday screenings a reminder Epping

Yan Yean and � omastown MPs Danielle Green and Bronwyn Halfpenny celebrated their 50th birthdays by getting mammograms as part of national Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

One in nine Victorian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime.

councils ponder development plan

� e state government’s newly released Plan for Melbourne was greeted with muted reactions in Melbourne’s north .

Whittlesea mayor Rex Gri� n said his council was pleased Planning Minister Matthew Guy ha d stressed the importance of directing new development to areas with appropriate infrastructure to support higher populations.

“Previous planning frameworks have le� the City of Whittlesea in the situation where this is not the case, such as the Aurora housing estate that has more than 20 bus stops with no buses,” Cr Gri� n said.

Hume mayor Geo� Porter has invited Growth Areas Authority chief executive Peter Seamer to brief his council on the � ner details of how the new plan will impact in the north.

� e plan bypasses Broadmeadows as part of the metropolitan activity centre network and proposes a new employment precinct on the municipality’s far northern boundary at Lockerbie, abutting Mitchell shire.

� e minister has called for submissions on Plan for Melbourne to be made by December 6. \ HG

Thirteen people were arrested and � rearms, drugs, cash, explosive material, stolen property and ammunition seized in the largest operation targeted at a single outlaw motorcycle gang in Victoria’s history. Sixty warrants were executed at clubhouses and private residences across the state involving more than 700 police from the regions, crime command, special operations group, bomb response unit, dog squad, operations response unit, airwing, transit, highway patrol, critical incident response team, transport branch and forensics. A 27-year-old Campbell� eld man was charged with possessing a drug of dependence and appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court . A senior constable from Victoria Police has also been implicated and, after a raid on his Epping home, charged with perverting the course of justice. \

police step up intervention actionFAMILY VIOLENCE

An 11-year analysis of family violence court data shows police are becoming more involved in the intervention process in Whittlesea and Hume.

� e Australian Bureau of Statistics released its 2013 Directory of Family and Domestic Violence Statistics on October 3, which included an 11-year trend analysis from the Victorian family violence database from 1999 to 2010.

� e database includes a breakdown of court data and intervention order applications by local government area over the 11 years. � e court data shows the number of instances where police applied for the intervention orders on behalf of individuals a� ected by family violence multiplied by eight in Hume

and quadrupled from 1999-2000 to 2009-10.A� ected family members, a person

with the written consent of the family, a court-appointed applicant or the guardian of the a� ected individual can apply for

intervention orders.Whittlesea acting sergeant Clare

Hayhoe , family violence adviser to the North West Metro Division 5 , said it was good to see that more people were reporting incidents to police. Overall, the trend breakdown

shows there were 467 people a� ected by family violence who � nalised an application for an intervention order in Whittlesea in 1999-2000. � e number increased to a top of 904 in 2007-08 and remained there in the latest set of data from 2009-10.In Hume, the trend breakdown shows there were 570 people a� ected by family

violence who � nalised an application for an intervention order in 1999-2000. � is increased to a top of 2003 in the latest set of data from 2009-10.

� e number of family violence incidents reported to police has almost doubled in the past � ve years. In 2012-13, there were 2110 family violence incidents in Whittlesea reported to police. Whittlesea health access and bush� re recovery manager Neville Kurth said the council ha d committed to preventing family violence through the endorsement of its 2011-2016 strategy, Building a Respectful Community – Preventing Violence against Women.

� e most recent family violence data from Victoria Police shows the rate of family violence in Whittlesea is 1249 per 100,000 and 1429.5 per 100,000 in Hume compared to the state average of 1071 per 100,000. \

Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering Public LecturePresented by Dr Brian J Boyle, SKA Project Director, Australian Square Kilometre Array Offi ce

Australia will be home to the world’s largest telescope, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which will become operational at the end of this decade. It is one of the biggest scientifi c projects in history that will generate a staggering amount of data about our universe, and has also become a catalyst for other projects, such as a supercomputer that is 100 times faster than anything on the planet today.

Professor Brian Boyle is the Australian SKA Director, and he will describe some of the revolutionary science that the SKA will undertake and the ground-breaking work that is already being done as part of the project. This year, Brian was awarded the Public Service Medal for his role in the development of the SKA program in Australia.

MY SHOUTThe furore over questionable expense claims by federal politicians will eventually blow over but will leave a sour taste in the voters’ mouths should the government start making tough decisions to counter the so-called budget emergency.There’s already a stench of hypocrisy in the air when a prime minister who refused pay rises to low-paid childcare and aged-care workers has tallied up expenses worth thousands of dollars, including $9300 for a return charter � ight to Tamworth’s country music festival for himself and a family member – a 55-minute � ight that’s serviced by Qantas and Rex for under $500 one way. That’s a quarter of the average childcare worker’s salary.Most MPs’ expenses are warranted, but such extreme examples and a reluctance to implement proper scrutiny of claims will do nothing to counter ever-growing public cynicism. \

your voiceRE TRADERS FEAR MARKET WILL STALL TRAFFIC(Weekly, October 1)

■ The Epping wholesale market issue has become a Whittlesea council comedy. Despite completion being well overdue, the council seems to have a very short memory.

Probably the best, and only, thing the previous Labor government did was build the Hume freeway to accommodate the market.

However, the freeway became a transit road for employees from outside the Whittlesea area and our Epping North residents/ council seem to think the freeway is for their non-public transport usage. It seems the preference is for a replica of the Plenty Road car park for Edgars/O’Herns/Findon roads to cater for morning/evening peak periods – how sel� sh.

I’m no fan of VicRoads, but I can also accept why it is not supporting the priorities of the council regarding traf� c . The council, elected 12 months ago, has been virtually mute since.

About a decade ago, Cr Sam Alessi was gung ho for the market and was supported by the then council . Now council communications acting regional director Griff Davis says the market site is a “high-risk project”.

comment raiseshopes for ford

Broadmeadows

Research and development at the Ford plant in Broadmeadows will be a “major factor of Australia’s post-2016 footprint”, according to a company spokeswoman.

She made the comment on the eve of a fact-� nding tour of Ford and Toyota by Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane, who had visited GM Holden the week before.

Mr Macfarlane said he wanted to see Ford continue to operate in Australia in the long term.

� e federal government has instigated an urgent Productivity Commission review. “� e � nal report will be released next year, but I hope to see a dra� by Christmas,” the minister said.

Ford Australia has announced it will close local vehicle production at Broadmeadows and Geelong by the end of 2016 .

But Mr Macfarlane indicated he wanted to convince Ford to change its mind on its car-making future in Australia, expressing his wish to see Australian vehicle manufacturing continue for the next 100 years. \ HG

holistic hub of hope for injury victimsRECOVERY CENTRE

Two families dealing with spinal cord injury and a lifetime of rehabilitation have joined forces to open a specialised recovery centre in � omastown.

Doreen resident Rhiannon Tracey became a quadriplegic a� er a diving accident in Bali in 2009.

During her recovery, doctors and physiotherapists told Ms Tracey, now 24, that she would never feed herself again. But four years later, she can not only feed herself but can also drive solo in a modi� ed car and walk short distances with the aid of a walking frame.

Ms Tracey (pictured) attributes the success of her recovery to a holistic approach, using modern medicine and physiotherapy with alternative treatments like acupuncture and massage. It’s a recovery method which, she says, doesn’t get enough attention in Australia.

Now she plans to open a one-stop, not-for-pro� t recovery centre in � omastown for people with spinal cord injuries. It will be called � e Next Step and will employ a range of recovery techniques. Ms Tracey will receive the bulk of funds needed for the centre from Glen Waverley woman E� e Klapsos,

whose brother Gabriel became a quadriplegic following a motorcycle accident in 2008. Ms Klapsos crossed paths with Ms Tracey and her mother Sharon Bradford while her brother was in recovery at the Austin Hospital’s Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre.

Ms Klapsos and Ms Tracey will hold a fund-raiser at Misty’s Diner in Reservoir on

October 27, with all money raised to go to � e Next Step. Ms Tracey says they are looking for volunteers to host face-painting and child entertainment to help with fund-raising. \

a ‘night life’ for epping Epping

A $30 million shopping centre development in Epping is set to boost the local economy and deliver a “city climate” to the outer north.

Epping Plaza has been rebranded as Paci� c Epping, with its new Urban Diner development launched on Tuesday last week.

� e development increases the centre’s size by 9288 square metres and includes a pedestrian street, a piazza area, playground and an extra 300 car park spaces.

� e main feature of the development is the ‘‘restaurant and entertainment precinct’’, which Paci� c Epping chief executive o� cer Graham Terry said had created at least 100 permanent jobs.

Mr Terry said the centre generated value for the community and a “blueprint” for other local areas.

He said the creation of extra car parking spaces and accessible public transport would help to ease congestion.

� e development includes a new bus interchange o� Cooper Street.

Epping Plaza Hotel manager Alexander

Robertson said the centre would “create night life that doesn’t exist” in Epping.

But Mr Robertson said he was concerned about security at the new piazza following a recent daylight brawl at a South Morang shopping centre cafe.

Whittlesea mayor Rex Gri� n said safety was very important.

Mr Terry allayed fears and said Paci� c Epping would increase security levels.

Cr Gri� n said the plaza had brought a “city climate” to the region.

He said Cooper Street had become the “hub of the north”

with its transport, employment and commercial interests.

Northern Health foundation director Ryan Brown said the development was a bene� t to the growing northern community.

Northern Health operates Northern Hospital, which is adjacent to Paci� c Epping and is a partner in the shopping centre complex.

“We are a growing area with over 50 births a week at Northern Hospital,” Mr Brown said. \

Blind Sports Victoria was the winner of the TAB Great Chase at � e Meadows last week a� er a stunning come-from-behind grand � nal win by greyhound Living Proof.

� e win put an extra $5000 in the kitty for BSV, but $1500 was already in it a� er the Glenn Rounds-trained greyhound won a heat and semi-� nal.

And there may be more, as BSV will get 10 per cent of the racing dog’s earnings for the next 12 months as a spin-o� from the series.

BSV president Maurice Gleeson (pictured with the trophy and Living Proof) said the money would make a huge di� erence.

“We have a lot of volunteers who specialise in sports programs such as walking, swimming, gymnastics and even tennis . But we need to train these volunteers, which is what this money will go towards,” he said.

� e TAB Great Chase is Greyhound Racing Victoria’s annual community event, matching community groups caring for people with intellectual and physical disabilities to greyhounds that run on their behalf. / HG

voters ask for claritySUNBURY

Twenty per cent of about 118,000 Hume voters have cast their vote over whether Sunbury forms its own shire or stays part of Hume council.

In Sunbury last week, Victorian Electoral Commission deputy returning o� cer Mick Sullivan told the Weekly the commission was receiving many phone calls from residents about the vote.

“� e phone has been running pretty solidly. I took one of the interpreter call lines one day; I took 33 calls and that day we had about 100 calls.

“We’re quite happy with the response rate, but it’s di� cult to say what the overall response will be.”

Joining Mr Sullivan in Sunbury, Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell said that if residents wanted to have their say on Sunbury’s future they needed to do it now.

She said there was no timeline set for her to make a decision on whether the issue would go to a panel .

“We will assess the votes when they come in and if there’s overwhelming response [favouring Sunbury’s secession] from Hume I will establish a panel .

“� e panel will be done with huge community consultation ... that will look at what is in and what’s out.

“� e community will be able to have a say on what should be in. � ere’s been discussions

about Tullamarine [and the Melbourne Airport] and Racecourse Road [being

part of the new shire] and it will be discussed at a later stage.”

Sunbury resident Dave Clements said while he would like to have a Sunbury shire, he would vote

no because he couldn’t vote on something with an unclear outcome.

“I rang the Hume and Melton councils because of the Melbourne Airport and Diggers Rest issues and both councils said they hadn’t discussed the issue at this stage.

“How can I vote when you know nothing? Neither of the two shires are prepared to say anything and we know nothing about the debt which could be inherited by a new council.”

� e postal vote closes on October 25. \TARA MURRAY

a blooming lovely time of year

Spring is decking city streets in an abundance of colours and hues, signalling it’s time for the annual Broadmeadows and District Garden Club show.

Flower, fruit and vegetable exhibits are being prepared for display and club president Margaret Vidler (pictured, right, with Bev Lamborn) expects about 400 entries this weekend at Wiseman House . Show categories include cut � owers, potted plants and � oral art. Entries will be judged by representatives

of the Royal Horticultural Society of Victoria and displays must be mounted according to the rules of the show: petals and foliage must not be blemished, pots need to be perfectly clean. Displays have their own guidelines.

Wiseman House, at the corner of Widford Street and Melbourne Avenue, Glenroy, will open from noon- 4pm on Saturday and from 10am- 3pm on Sunday. \ HG

She lumbers onto the scales, a� ecting indi� erence as the digital display � icker s furiously. � at’s 200 kilograms … overweight! SiSi, you’re o� to the fat farm. If ever a rhinoceros could look chagrined, this was the moment. A� er all, it is hardly a girl’s

fault if the grass is greener on the other side of the globe.“One of the more surprising challenges we face here is

that the soil type is sensational for growing, particularly on the lower savannah, which is down along the river � ats,” says Russel Traher, Werribee Open Range Zoo’s general manager of life sciences.

“It means that the grass grown down there – that all the grazers eat – is actually a lot richer than what they would normally get on the African plains.”

It’s an issue, particularly with the rhinos, who munch through 50 kilograms of feed a day to maintain an optimum body weight of 1800 kilograms (female) and 2100 kilograms (male).

“� ey are just programmed to eat like a lawn mower and will just chew away all day and because the grass is so rich they are getting too much,” Traher says. “So, every now and again, we have to send one or other of them to fat camp, which is up on top of the hill where the grazing is a lot more arid.”

If weighing rhinos sounds preposterous, it’s all in a day’s work for the keepers here at the multi-award-winning conservation park.

While there’s no mistaking it’s the animals who are the stars of the show, a tremendous amount of work goes on behind the scenes to ensure the health and

buffet for the beasts

Behind every good zoo animal, there’s a very human story, writes SARAH HARRIS

well-being of the collection.More than 100 volunteers are involved in the zoo’s

operations, from front-gate guide services through to preparing “enrichment” boxes and bags containing favourite treats to help keep primates and meerkats mentally stimulated.

� en there’s the specialist sta� like horticulturist Enrique Ramirez, who is one of the team responsible for � ora across the 235-hectare site, including the important browse plantation.

� e plantation, which contains 16,000 trees, mostly propagated on site, is a veritable smorgasbord of 30 di� erent species ranging from acacias, from which gira� es are each fed three to four branches a day, to hibiscus plants much favoured by the leopard tortoise.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are a major component of the diets of the primates and herbivores and also supplement the diets of omnivores, like the meerkats.

“Our buyer of fruit and veg goes to the Melbourne Market, same as your greengrocer and buys human-quality fruit and veg,” Traher says.

Zoo buyers purchase between 25 and 35 boxes of fruit and vegetables each week, including eggplant, capsicum, sweet corn, carrots and leafy greens like chicory and silverbeet that make up the gorillas’ breakfast.

But rather than dish it up on a plate the food is hidden through the exhibit, encouraging the gorillas to forage as they would in the wild.

“When you think about it, most of the animals we have here have to work their butts o� in the wild to get food – so that level of activity is quite normal,” Traher

says. “Every animal has an enrichment program, aimed at maintaining their physical and mental � tness.”

Hence the lions, cheetahs and servals go through training sessions to simulate natural hunting behaviours.

“We won’t use live animals, but we do use a lure – kind of a bit like what you would see at a greyhound track. It’s good because it exercises them, keeps their joints supple and allows them to hone skill, but it also keeps them motivated.”

In addition to the $60,000 annual meat budget, the zoo buys in crickets and mealworms for the vervet monkeys, meerkats and prized population of Eastern barred bandicoots. Another speciality item on the shopping list at present is formula for a baby of a gargantuan kind.

Kipenzi, the white rhino calf born in May, is being hand-reared because of her mother SiSi’s refusal to let previous calves feed. � e calf, now weighing 170 kilograms, consumes 21 litres of custom-made milk a day, and must be taught the necessary rhino social skills before she can safely take her place among the herd.

But while rhinos are at the top of the tree in terms of food access, you can’t go past a zebra for sneakiness. Night vision cameras placed in the mixed-herd enclosure of zebra and kudu revealed the shorter zebras had � gured out a way to access the taller antelopes’ food.

In the zoo business that could be called earning your stripes. \

Industry relationships will be the key to future directions for Kangan Institute.

Incoming chief executive Grant Sutherland is charged with ensuring Kangan Institute works to a sustainable business model, requiring the executive to anticipate the needs of industry sectors, many of which are undergoing fundamental change.

“Kangan can play an even greater role in assisting local industries and the local economy in transition,” Sutherland told the Weekly last week, seven weeks into a new role that has brought him from � e Gordon TAFE college at Geelong to Broadmeadows, home to Ford and the automotive industry.

He spent 14 years at � e Gordon, starting as executive director for business development then acting as chief executive before his permanent appointment to the top job in 2006.

Kangan Institute’s automotive courses and its textile faculty are traditional industry strengths of Melbourne’s north.

“I believe Kangan has a leadership role here, to upskill retrenched and displaced workers,” he says.

“And more than that, there is a role to work with local government and other stakeholders, to drive that job creation we need and bring forth new and emerging industries.”

� e TAFE sector, including Kangan, has been hit hard by about $300 million of state government funding cuts, with hundreds of sta� members losing their jobs.

One of Sutherland’s priorities is to ensure Kangan is at the round table of players involved in

PROFILE \ KANGAN’S NEW BOSS IS UPBEAT, REPORTS HELEN GRIMAUX

the Ford recovery plan for the north. He sees opportunities that run counter to the predicted demise of manufacturing as a pillar of the

Victorian economy.“� ere is a role for manufacturing – it’s

just not going to look like it has for the past 30 years,” he says.

“Don’t discount the skills base we have. It’s going to be a matter of using

that skills base we have now and taking it to other levels.

“And I do believe that Kangan has a leadership role at this critical point in time, with company closures and job losses.

“More than ever, it’s not just about assisting workers but ensuring a focus on job creation .’’ \

fire season will challengenorth-west metro region

� e CFA’s northern and western metropolitan regional chief has warned of ‘‘a very busy season’’ for emergency services given the high potential for grass� res .

Commander John Deering said there had been abundant grass growth following heavy rain.

� e warning was issued last week at meetings in Craigieburn of emergency services personnel from Melbourne’s north west.

CFA, MFB and Parks Victoria representatives held two brie� ngs to discuss the coming � re season. � ey were attended by about 400 people, including SES, police, army, Department of Sustainability and Environment, and council representatives.

� e north-west metro area includes Hume, Whittlesea, Moonee Valley, Brimbank, Melton and Wyndham.

Parks Victoria’s chief ranger for western Melbourne, Rocky Barca, said: “[� e brie� ngs are] about all agencies and all personnel being aware that we are about to enter the � re season so they’re really prepared to face the season that awaits us.

“People think someone else is [providing

protection] and not thinking for themselves. � e key to emergency management is that everyone needs to take ownership.”

MFB commander Darren McQuade said among the biggest challenges for emergency services personnel in the north-west metro region was the short duration and high impact of � res in the growth areas.

‘‘� e onset of the � res is quite quick onto the urban interface [growth]

areas.”Mr Deering said the authorities

had learned a lot from a grass- � re which burnt through 2040 hectares in Epping, Wollert,

Kalkallo and Donnybrook in February.

“We did a complete review of that � re and learnt some pretty good things. Some things we did quite well and some things we have to improve on.

“� ings like communicating with our community is a key thing we need to improve on.

“� is year we are re� ning those messages. If a � re starts in those areas there’s not a lot of time to get the message out.

“Timing is a key issue in warning communities.” \

F adi Elbarbar was once kicked out of class for being too opinionated. But it did not put him off fighting for what he thought was right. Instead, it inspired him to become a teacher and

do a better job than some of those who taught him.The passionate social justice campaigner learnt

about the dangers of speaking out during a year 11 international studies class. “I got kicked out of the course for sharing my opinions too vocally,” he says.

“I’m not someone that will hide my emotions or my point of view. I have always had a passion for social justice, although it never had a name. It was always just about helping those less fortunate and being a voice.”

Now a teacher of humanities and religious studies at St Monica’s College, Epping, Elbarbar is the third of five children. His siblings, Feeras, Fida, the only girl, Fawaz and Fouadare, are aged from 31 to 21. Fadi, 27, was literally the middle man from a young age. “I would always ensure my brothers were all treated equally and would commonly argue with my parents if this was not the case,” he says.

Their parents came from Lebanon when its politics was improving but still difficult. Elbarbar’s father, Sami, migrated first with his mother and sister and started a business before returning for his wife, Joumana. They caught a helicopter to the airport because it was too dangerous to drive.

Sami and Joumana took many jobs to support their family and at one stage lived behind a milk bar. Joumana also worked in a variety of other shops and

Sami drove taxis for years, working up to 16 hours a day. He has been unable to work since having a stroke several years ago.

Elbarbar attended three primary schools as his parents moved for work. He spent prep and grade one at St Damian’s in Bundoora, grades two and three at Coburg North and 4-6 at Greenvale Primary. He then attended Gladstone Park Secondary College.

Moving schools was no drama for this confident, intelligent and social student. He made friends easily. When he was house captain in primary school, he took nothing for granted. “I used to pride myself in knowing every single student’s name,” he says.

Elbarbar and his siblings were born in Melbourne but he wasn’t keen on local sport in primary school, preferring the academic side. When he played cricket for the first time, he turned up dressed in black.

“I’d seen cricket and I’d been at training a couple of times but no one told me that you dress in white,” he says with a laugh. “I didn’t even know there was such a thing as interschool sports before I got invited to play cricket at Greenvale.”

Elbarbar was also “tricked” into following Carlton by his father’s best friend, who promised to take him to the football but took him only once. He stuck with the Blues, however, and now loves footy and cricket.

Despite growing 30 centimetres in six weeks

between years nine and 10 to stand 205 centimetres, or six feet nine in the old language, Elbarbar says he was too unco-ordinated to be a top sportsman.

Instead, he loved the social side of school and debating issues in class. His political antenna was tuned early, learning about the troubles in his parents’ home country and others in the Middle East.

At a local youth group, he met people of Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian and Jordanian backgrounds. Learning about their histories and growing up in a democracy himself, Elbarbar formed strong views about the need for social justice regardless of a person’s heritage or socio-economic status.

In the schoolyard he also played diplomat, helping solve arguments and explain that minor squabbles, such as stealing balls, were not necessarily based on race. These skills earned him a job representing his school at a local council youth hub, organising events and talking about multiculturalism.

After his expulsion from international studies, Elbarbar decided the teacher was lousy and imposing her views on the students. He also had a maths teacher who literally taught something different every day; statistics one day, trigonometry the next. “She just had no clue,” he says.

Rather than put him off, these experiences motivated Elbarbar to teach and to do it better. He was also inspired by the likes of his year-12 maths teacher, Con Zanetidis, who was good at what he did and cared about the students. “He was not as

concerned about himself looking good than he was about making sure the kids were enjoying his class and doing OK,” he says.

After year 12, Elbarbar started international business studies at RMIT but hated it and soon switched to a bachelor of arts degree at La Trobe University in Bendigo. Forced to choose between feminine or religious studies, he opted for comparative religions and “fell in love”.

Elbarbar’s family is Greek Orthodox but was never overly strict. “It was just so interesting looking at all the different religions and their beliefs and rituals,” he says. He decided to major in religious studies and sociology, finishing his degree at La Trobe’s Bundoora campus.

To make ends meet while studying, Elbarbar worked long hours as a waiter and a security guard, using his diplomatic skills to calm drunk city nightclub patrons. “I started working when I was 10,” he says. “My first job was as a paper boy. On the day I turned 14 and nine months, I started at a KFC.”

The hard work paid off in more ways than one. Elbarbar met his veterinary nurse wife, Dominique, 25, while waiting tables. They married two years ago.

After completing his diploma of education at Australian Catholic University in 2008, Elbarbar was offered jobs at Assumption College in Kilmore, where he did his rounds, and St Monica’s College, Epping.

He chose teaching history, geography and religious studies at St Monica’s because it was close to home and he admired its principal, Brian Hanley.

“You could tell that he was a big part of why it’s so successful,” Elbarbar says. “I just got that vibe from him.”

So impressed is Elbarbar with his school and its community that he is in the process of converting to Catholicism. He didn’t particularly dislike his birth religion, but he feels a stronger connection with the Catholic Church. When he was a child, the Greek Orthodox sermons were mostly in an Arabic dialect he didn’t know and the minister was often negative.

“I remember once … he was talking about idols and idolising pop stars and the example he gave was John Wayne, which was about 40 years removed,” he says.

At St Monica’s, which has almost 1900 students, Elbarbar’s passion has found the perfect home. He loves teaching and the pastoral side of Catholic life. “The school is the church and the kids here are fantastic,” he says. “I enjoy morning prayer. I look forward to mass.”

This faith was repaid when Elbarbar proposed the new position of social justice co-ordinator. Hanley jumped at the chance. Since last year Elbarbar, who has completed a Caritas Australia immersion program, has divided his time between teaching and organising school and community projects.

More than 100 students are running 25 projects across the school, involving everything from human

trafficking and homelessness to a committee of students involved in discussing the post-2015 United Nations Millennium Development Goals agenda.

St Monica’s is also one of Victoria’s first Fair Trade certified schools, using fair trade tea and coffee for staff and sports balls for PE, and part of former British prime minister Tony Blair’s Face to Faith project. It sees students video conference in India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Italy and California.

“We’re actually the first school in the world to receive the highest certification that Face to Faith offers to schools,” Elbarbar says.

St Monica’s has several refugee students from countries such as Sudan and Iraq, so Elbarbar is determined to raise awareness about their plight. He invites asylum seekers to speak to students and dispel some of the myths about “queue jumping”.

“The most important thing in terms of social justice is it’s all about raising awareness about issues,” he says. “I think a lot of kids in this generation are very insular.”

Elbarbar wants to not only help others but also ensure that students understand why they are doing it. “I sort of felt that it was important that people understood why we were doing it, not just doing it for the sake of doing it,” he says.

“You’ve got to have that understanding … you’ve got to have that empathy.” \

As backyards shrink, decisions about landscaping can grow in complexity. There are many factors

to be considered, but possibly at the top of the list is a question about lifestyle.

Does your family value time outdoors?If the answer is no, a small backyard is best tackled from a practical point of view with the aim of year-round easy upkeep while avoiding a barren outlook from back windows and deck.

Professionally laid synthetic lawn with boundary planting of fence-concealing plants is the simplest approach. It won’t win design prizes, but if you choose plants that will grow to just above fence height, bloom for long periods and, even better, smell nice, the backyard won’t shame you. Get planting advice from your local nurseryman.

If yes is the answer, decisions have to be well considered to make the most of a small space.

Ideally, the design should include a spot to encourage children outdoors and cater for adults, too.

Even if there’s an existing pergola or integrated room, another open pergola – either as an extension or freestanding – works well with a deciduous vine growing over it. This provides not only a shady, green spot in summer for adults to gather for a drink and barbecue, but

also makes a great secret cubbyhouse or play area for kids. With synthetic grass beneath, it can stand all types of play, and seating will be stable. It’s a good spot to place a portable sandpit with inevitable spills easily swept up, or a wading pool out of burning sun.

While entirely mulched or pebbled backyards virtually eliminate maintenance, our climate demands we have some lawn to provide a cooling effect.

Lawns dotted with a couple of deciduous specimen trees, and underplanted with hardy perennials, deliver a slice of park living for years to come. The trees will eventually become natural climbing frames and allow a rope or tyre swing as play equipment.

Forget about keeping up with the Joneses or being a slave to trends. Design your backyard with your family in mind and you won’t go far wrong. \

MOTORiNg \ SelfiSh moronS? There’S an app for ThaT, wriTeS rod eaSdown

Do you get hot under the collar when you see examples of rude and selfish parking? Like the people who park

so badly they effectively take two spaces. Or people who park so close you can’t open your door enough to get in. Or those who bash their doors into your paintwork.

The worst, of course, are able-bodied people who park in disabled spots. I always challenge these people when I see them and they always do one of two things. Occasionally they say they’re in a huge hurry and they’ll only be a minute, and they canter off into the shops like someone’s dying in there. Most times, they just flip me the bird and saunter away.

One considers all sorts of options for such folk. Like removing their number plates. Or their gearbox for that matter. One never does.

Oh, but a sweet new solution is coming. It involves no risk, it’s legal and it will make you feel good for days. Yep. There’s an app for it.

Or there will be shortly in Texas. And I have absolutely no doubt that when councils here get wind of it, they’ll be onto it in a flash.

A non-profit organisation called Parking Mobility, run by and for disabled people in Texas, operates a website where people can upload photographs of cars violating the rules. The authorities in the relevant area are notified and, if a fine results, the person reporting the offence can nominate a charity to which a portion of the fine is paid.

A bit also goes to Parking Mobility to fund the service.

Things you didn’T know abouT moToring …Pope Francis, who has largely dispensed with the papal Mercedes in favour of a five-year-old Ford Focus, is now the delighted owner of a 1984, 300,000-kilometre Renault 4.

For several years they’ve been working with relevant parking authorities on an app to handle all this automatically, and it’s being tested in the city of Austin. If you see an offending vehicle, you take up to three photographs with your phone and press send. The data is sent to whoever it is that issues tickets and, voilà, one more cheat is busted.

They take disabled parking seriously in Austin. First offenders are fined $500 and, while many Australian municipalities have even tougher fines than this, it gets interesting in Austin when someone commits their second offence. This is when community service orders kick in.

But the project director, Mack Marsh, says the primary aim of the app is not to punish offenders. “The whole purpose is to tie technology to public education,” he says. “The goal is to educate people about the importance of accessible parking.”

In Canada there’s an app on the drawing board using much the same methodology to do much the same thing, but covering all parking offences. And it would reward those reporting them with a portion of the fine. \

taleb parades his bowling skills to set up unlikely winCricket

Zaen Taleb was the ice man with three late wickets as Old Paradians/St Francis beat Research/Eltham Collegians by four runs in Barclay Shield on Saturday.

REC was 3-105 chasing 137 before collapsing to 132 all out in the � nal over.

Taleb (4-17) captured three of his wickets in the dying stages, wrapping up the tail as REC lost 7-27.

Glen Turner’s 70 had held the REC innings together before his wicket at 5-120 was followed by � ve more in quick succession.

Bundoora su� ered the embarrassment of

being rolled for just 42 by Diamond Creek at Coventry Oval.

Jason Kaminski (11) was the only Bundoora batsman to make double � gures and the paltry total was passed two down by Diamond Creek on its way to 7-126 from the full 40 overs in reply.

At Epping, Riverside’s 6-147 was enough as the home team made only 132 in reply. John Lever (46) top-scored for Epping but his team lost 7-42 to be all out by the 38th over.

Elsewhere, Lower Eltham (9-146) beat Plenty (9-128), North Eltham Wanderers (7-146) beat Mernda (113) and Macleod (8-161) beat Rosanna (160).

In Money Shield, 115 was enough for Bundoora United to win as South Morang fell for just 79 in reply.

Toby Johnston (30) and Simon Peat (30) saved United’s innings from 8-56 with a 59-run partnership. Peat then backed up his e� ort with the bat by taking 4-9 as best of the United bowlers.

Visiting Greensborough won a thriller by one wicket against Lalor Stars at WA Smith Reserve.

Glen Drummond (56) top-scored as the Stars posted 8-173 batting � rst. But Con Kalogiannis (17no) and Shane Ellis (1no) were the heroes as their 15-run partnership for the

last wicket got Greensborough home with four balls to spare.

Camrea Taipans (8-185) proved too good for Lower Plenty (7-144).

Taipans captain Dhushanta Ranatunga top-scored with 56, while Tim Bennett (38no) inspired lower-order runs a� er the innings had started shakily at 5-34.

Two-day games begin in Barclay Shield this weekend, with Bundoora hosting Research/Eltham Collegians, Epping hosting Diamond Creek, Old Paradians/St Francis playing Macleod, Riverside hosting Rosanna, Plenty playing Mernda and Lower Eltham playing North Eltham Wanderers. \ TP

A victory for the burbs National Youth League

Local clubs are the winners as Melbourne Victory tours the suburbs in preparation for its National Youth League season kick-o� .

� e Victory and Melbourne Heart went head-to-head in the A-League at the weekend at Etihad Stadium, while the youth league went for a lower-key game against Avondale Heights last Wednesday.

About 400 people watched the Victory youth win 3-1 at Doyle Street Reserve.

� ere was no hangover for the Heights, with many players still buzzing from winning promotion to state league 1 earlier this month with its 1-0 play-o� win against North Geelong Warriors.

� e Heights defended stoutly for the � rst half-hour before a poor pass out of defence presented an open net to Victory’s Johnny Buceto to make it 1-0. � e Attwood youth, heading into his third season with the Victory’s feeder team, produced a creative and entertaining 90 minutes on Wednesday.

Former Brisbane Roar professional Anthony Proia was Victory’s main avenue to goal and found his range a� er a number of attempts to double the advantage in the 57th minute. Kaan Korkmaz played a perfect through ball to set Proia through for a one-on-one � nish against the Heights goalkeeper.

Leo Celentano nearly scored in the 67th minute when his le� -footed shot � ashed wide.

And � ve minutes later the home fans had a goal to cheer when Andrew Le Page’s neat shimmy wrong-footed the Victory backline and presented a shooting chance at the top of the area. � e de� ected shot wrong-footed the Victory ’keeper and the ball fell into the net to make the score 2-1.

Heights then enjoyed their best period of play, with Zoran Pajic agonisingly close to equalising a� er his looping header across the face of goal hit the inside of the post but didn’t fall in. Proia then rounded out a double and sealed the win for Victory as he netted from Damien Miskulin’s cross.

“I’m pretty pleased with what I saw

tonight,” Heights coach Adam Inglese said. “It’s huge for a club like us to have Melbourne Victory out here. You can see by the crowd tonight, it attracts people to our game.

“� e crowd was going for us; they li� ed the roof o� the place when we scored. � e boys saw the di� erence, the sharpness of a professional out� t; it’s just fantastic, a memorable night in the history of the club.”

Victory youth coach Darren Davies said his squad was just about at full strength.

“We’re two and a half weeks away from the start of our season so it was a good hit-out for us to work on some patterns of play we’re putting into place,” he said. “Congratulations to Avondale; it’s been a very good season for them to clinch promotion. ”

Victory starts its National Youth League season in Brisbane on October 26 and plays its � rst home game at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park, on Sunday, November 3.

Melbourne Heart is interstate for the � rst

two rounds of NYL before playing Melbourne Victory at Lakeside Stadium on Sunday, November 10. � e Heart’s � rst of nine home games at Epping Soccer Stadium is against Adelaide on Saturday, November 30. \
