Put the bite on the vet

(Shawn Smits)

A Melton pet store is giving free dental checks for all the municipality’s cats, dogs and bunnies to help raise awareness of the importance of oral attention. August is the Australian Veterinary Association’s pet dental month, and Best Friends Pet Care SuperCentre Melton is showing its support. “Our four-pawed family members are so vulnerable when it comes to oral care because it’s up to us, as pet owners, to identify the problem and help find the solution,” lead veterinarian Dr Nick Emerton said. “This month is a good opportunity as the check is free for the entire month.” The dental checks will be at the Best Friends store at 72-84 High Street, Melton.

Council travel row erupts By Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton councillors have rejected a bid to make their travel expenses more transparent, saying the proposal was “unreasonable and unnecessary”. Watts ward councillor Lara Carli put forward a motion at last week’s meeting calling for councillors’ attendance at local, interstate and international conferences, seminars, forums and training courses to be “democratically” voted on if it was costing ratepayers. She wanted councillors to prepare reports outlining what role they played, what they learned and the purpose of the trip and to attach copies of any speeches they made and a

statutory declaration. But councillors Sophie Ramsey, Kathy Majdlik, Nola Dunn, Renata Cugliari and Myles Bentley rejected the motion. Cr Bob Turner was absent. Cr Ramsey said a statutory declaration requirement was “overkill”. “The motion in its current form is overly prescriptive, unreasonable and unnecessary and a stat dec is overkill,” she said. “The [Code of Conduct] for councillors advises councillors to act honestly. Additional requirements such as these are simply not required.” Cr Ramsey said she would have supported the motion had it included only interstate and international seminars and not the statutory declaration element.

Cr Ramsey, along with CEO Kel Tori and council officer Peter Blunden are scheduled to attend a conference in Mexico next month. Cr Majdlik asked several times about the guidelines of writing a report, whether it should be two pages or 2000 words, because in its current form the motion was “open to interpretation”. But Cr Carli responded: “I don’t think I have to give you a guideline on how to write a report. “If [councillors] can justify to the ratepayers spending their money, they can write a report.” Cr Majdlik said she wished to defer the item until Cr Carli clarified the “gaps and vague statements”. But Cr Carli replied: “I’m actually trying to contain my laughter. I don’t

understand where the confusion is coming from. “It’s pretty simple. If councillors feel they can go to conferences and use ratepayers’ money, on return they should be able to show us what they’ve learned. If that’s an issue and barriers are put up, they’re afraid.” Taylors Hill resident Olivia Liron, who attended the meeting, said “blocking” efforts to make councillors’ expenses more accountable and transparent were “pathetic”. “I don’t think there should be an issue on writing a report when you’re spending my money,” she said. Councillors’ travel expenses cost ratepayers more than $38,000 in the past financial year.

Council meeting shift torpedoed By Sumeyya Ilanbey Residents in Melton’s eastern corridor are angry about their council’s decision to not consider holding meetings at Caroline Springs more often. Last week, a council meeting was held at the Caroline Springs library for the first time – but it’s likely to be the last. A bid by Watts ward councillor Lara Carli for every second meeting to be held in Caroline Springs was rejected. “Eastern corridor councillors, and there are

four of us here, are denying their residents [the chance to have meetings here],” Cr Carli said. “What a disgrace – shame, shame.” Cr Carli last month asked council officers to prepare a report outlining the costs associated with holding meetings outside the Melton civic centre. At last week’s meeting, corporate services general manager Peter Bean said the council spent about $3400 on the Caroline Springs meeting. The council report made two recommendations: to “receive the report for

information” and consult residents in the eastern corridor to gauge their level of interest. It stated the costs associated with consulting residents by phone would be $3000. But while presenting the report, Mr Bean said surveying the residents would more likely be closer to $7000. Cr Kathy Majdlik asked for the matter to be deferred and the full cost of holding meetings in Caroline Springs be calculated. “Madam mayor, I’m not sure my residents are happy to pay $7000 for a phone survey,” she said.

Councillors Majdlik, Sophie Ramsey, Nola Dunn, Renata Cugliari and Myles Bentley approved the recommendation to receive the report. Cr Carli voted in favour of the report’s two recommendations while adding a third, to hold council meetings every second month at Caroline Springs. This did not pass. A Taylors Hill resident, who was at the meeting, said she was disappointed at the outcome. “I’m just really disappointed that the councillors who were elected by us don’t care about us,” she said.

Story time brings out babies’ best Eynesbury youngsters are getting a head-start in their education thanks to weekly storytime sessions. Story times for children aged between two and five run every Tuesday morning during school terms at Eynesbury Discovery Centre, from 10.30 to 11.15. The morning sessions include stories, songs, an introduction to Australian Sign Language (Auslan) as well as craft activities to be carried

out at home. Meanwhile, babytime sessions run from 11.30am until noon every Tuesday during school terms at the Discovery Centre and include rhymes, finger plays, a short story and an introduction to Auslan suitable for children from babyhood to age two. A Melton council spokeswoman said all sessions were free, with no booking required. “Both our storytime and babytime sessions are a fantastic way to introduce your child to

the world of books and songs, and get them started in the lifelong literacy journey,” she said, adding there was still room for more families to take part. Sessions today will be at the Eynesbury Homestead, and they return to the Discovery Centre from Tuesday, August 25. For more information, call 9747 7200.

People living in rural and regional Victoria are reported to have shorter life expectancies and are more likely to develop preventable health problems. The Garvan Institute’s first rural health report highlights significant disparities between the health and longevity of people living in urban and country areas. It found country people were more likely to experience mental health problems, such as dementia, and die from chronic diseases. People living in inner regional areas, such as Bacchus Marsh and Ballan, are more likely to be daily smokers (18 per cent), compared to those living in major cities (15), the report found. And 63 per cent of country people are “insufficiently active”, compared to 54 per cent of people living in Melbourne. The report also revealed adults living in regional areas were more likely to be overweight or obese (63 per cent) than their major-city counterparts (54 per cent). On a positive note, “Australians living in rural areas generally have higher levels of social cohesiveness”, the report found, with country folk more likely to be involved in volunteer work and to feel “safe” in their communities. Garvan Institute Research Foundation chief executive Andrew Giles said the gap between country and city could be bridged by medical research, by using personalised genetic information in patient diagnosis and treatment. Djerriwarrh Health Services’ interim chief executive Andrew Freeman said it was important to continue providing services that improved health outcomes. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Steep rise in domestic cases By Sumeyya Ilanbey Western suburbs police have made more than 8000 domestic violence referrals to Women’s Health West in the past year. That’s a 36 per cent rise on the previous year, and WHW chief executive Robyn Gregory says she expects the numbers to keep rising unless more is done to prevent domestic violence. Dr Gregory called for more funding for the Footscray-based organisation, which, in total, dealt with more than 14,000 cases in the 2014-15 financial year. The number of people who chose to go to WHW or were referred by doctors, health officials or Legal Aid stayed relatively similar to the previous year. But Dr Gregory said the Royal Commission on Domestic Violence and the naming of anti-violence campaigner Rosie Batty as Australian of the Year had helped encourage more people to report domestic violence. “But I have some concern that there has been a great deal more emphasis at the royal commission hearings on responses to family violence, which is really important, but not the equivalent attention on how to prevent violence against women,” she said. “At the same time, the hearings are a small part. They’ve received more than 1000 submissions. We’re being reassured not to be worried.” Dr Gregory supported Ms Batty’s call for an anti-violence education campaign to target children as young as six.

She said that with the insufficientlyresourced organisation already trying to cope with high numbers of reports, it expected the demand for its services to continue increasing – more so if the royal commission did not give recommendations on how to prevent violence against women.

‘‘

It’s … vital we get our response to family violence - Dr Robyn Gregory right

’’

“It’s absolutely vital we get our response to family violence right, that there are additional resources available that recognise the continual exponential increase in demand,” Dr Gregory said. “I don’t want to put response and prevention in competition, but we also need to make sure there is clear and concerted planning for prevention over the long-term – well outside election cycles.” Despite the organisation wanting to place an emphasis on early intervention, Dr Gregory said its ability to “get in early” was limited, almost impossible. “The numbers definitely put pressure on services,” she said. “Obviously, we make decisions to prioritise, where there are higher levels of criminality and violence, so our ability to intervene early is somewhere between limited and non-existent. “It’s really difficult, but we can’t seem to send the message to governments.”

Monica Raizada and Jasvinder Sidhu have developed a guide for Indian community leaders to help assist domestic violence victims. (Damjan Janevski)

Cultural clue to violence Indian community leaders from Melbourne’s west have vowed to end domestic violence among their families. Activist Jasvinder Sidhu founded Jagriti (The Awakening) a few years ago to increase awareness about domestic violence, reduce rates of violence, and to support victims within Indian communities. This month Mr Sidhu will launch the Happy Families, Happy Communities Western Suburbs Guide, so community leaders can better help domestic violence victims. “Due to cultural complexities … many victims failed to cope with the vast volumes of information, which was available.” He called on Indian community leaders to stop ignoring and avoiding the domestic

violence, and to get serious about ending the scourge within Indian and other communities. “Defined gender roles must change, because women now do outside work as well, so men shall share some home responsibility.” The guide offers “straightforward information” about accessing domestic violence services in a “culturally-tailored” way. “The existing support services system is not culturally sensitive or appropriate,” Mr Sidhu said, even for foreign students. The guide will be launched on August 30, 1pm, at the Indian Consular-General’s office, 533 St Kilda Road, Melbourne. RSVP: sidhu. jasvinder@hotmail.com Sumeyya Ilanbey

Gala Evening Friday 9th October 2015

Vietnam Veterans Day in Australia is held to coincide with the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in which the severely outnumbered Australian forces were, against all odds, victorious over the Viet Cong militants. Five hundred and twenty one brave Australian ¡ ¡ ­ battle, and no one came out unscathed. And yet, the Battle of Long Tan remains a testament to the unshakeable Aussie spirit, courage and bravery of our soldiers. It is a matter of deep regret that the veterans of the Vietnam War did not receive the recognition they deserved on their return home, despite having met the call that was made upon them. I hope that by continuing to mark this important occasion goes some way to helping restore the balance and to show that as a community, our respect

Melton migration to hit new high By Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton’s population is expected to double to a whopping 260,000 people by 2031, surpassing neighbouring Brimbank to become the fastest growing municipality in the state. A recent Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) report found Melton will grow at a rate of 4.2 per cent annually. And while its population won’t outstrip Wyndham (360,000) or Casey (434,000), Melton is expected to be the fourth largest

metropolitan council, with 88,000 households. Brimbank is expected to grow by 0.7 per cent each year, housing 220,000 people by 2031. “In a growth area like Melton … more than twice as much growth is expected through net migration than through natural increase [more births than deaths],” a department spokesman said. “Migration from overseas is significant, but … migration from within Melbourne is likely to be a greater contributor to growth. It is likely a significant number of the people moving to Melton may be overseas-born, but have lived

elsewhere in Melbourne before moving [here].” The spokesman said people found areas, such as Melton, Wyndham and Whittlesea attractive because they had employment and education opportunities, and amenities. When asked if Melton had the infrastructure to keep up with its growth, the spokesman said these “projections are used by decision-makers and planners to guide the provision of services and infrastructure”. “Having a comprehensive view of the likely future population enables those planners to make sound decisions for all Victorians.”

The DELWP report found that projected population increases were in areas where there was the “greatest capacity for dwelling growth”, such as outer growth areas and the inner city. The growth areas and the five inner councils are expected to account for two-thirds of population growth in 2031. Meanwhile, Moorabool has been dubbed the third-fastest growing (2.2 per cent) regional municipality, behind Mitchell (4.2) and Baw Baw (2.5). Moorabool’s population is expected to be 45,400 in 2031. Melton council was contacted for comment.

‘Forgotten suburb’ rails at service By Sumeyya Ilanbey Frequency of services, overcrowded trains and infrastructure that hasn’t kept up with Melton’s growth rate were only a few of the issues discussed at a Public Transport Victoria forum last week. While fewer than a dozen people attended the forum in Melton South, all agreed PTV needed to put more services on the Ballarat line, extend the timetable from Southern Cross to Ballarat until later at night and add more carriages. “We used to have one train every hour, but in June, for the first time, they gave us a train

every half an hour, which is a good thing,” one commuter said at the forum. “But after 6pm, it goes back to every hour and the last train from Southern Cross [on the weekend] is at 10.15… if you’re coming home from the city late at night, you have no hope of catching a train.” Some commuters said they had to drive to Watergardens or Sunshine stations to pick up their children if they were coming home late by train. While the frequency of services had increased during peak times since the Regional Rail Link timetable was unveiled in June, commuters said they felt short-changed because nothing

had changed in off-peak times. “A lot of people are standing up [on the train],” another commuter said. “I was in the carriage at 10am and I still had to stand up; there were only three carriages. “By the time the train from Ballarat gets to Melton it’s full. “In peak hours, schoolkids are sitting on the floor.”

People at the forum pleaded with PTV to “please just give us a service so we can use it”. “Compare Geelong to us. Their last service leaves Southern Cross at 1.10am; it’s not fair,” one said. “And they have a service every half hour. It’s not right. Are we a forgotten suburb? Makes you wonder if we are.” A similar forum was held at Bacchus Marsh on the same day. The purpose of the forums was to allow PTV and V/Line to hear from residents about their ideas for the public transport needs of Melton and Bacchus Marsh.

Dingo fold a ‘pure’ joy Ms Watson says the volunteer-run centre relies solely on donations. “The money is used for the ongoing upkeep and veterinary care of the dingoes. “Anybody who has to [take a pet] to a vet knows how expensive it is.” Unfortunately, not all 36 dingoes have been sponsored as yet. An open day will be held on Sunday, August 30, so people can see some of the 15 pups born this season. The first session is at 11am, the second at 2pm. Entry costs $35 per adult and $20 per child. Children must be over the age of seven. Bookings are essential. Call 5428 1245. Sumeyya Ilanbey Lyn Watson with puppies from the bloodlines of Australian dingoes. (Joe Mastroianni)

Lyn Watson has dedicated much of her life to breeding and protecting “pure” Australian dingoes. These have not interbred with introduced dog species so carry only the purest of dingo genes, she says of the 36 adult dingoes at her Toolern Vale property. “It’s always been a passion. It’s been a calling of mine all my life,” Ms Watson says. “My background is as a dog judge, dog breeder and handler, so I know a little about dogs … but I’m totally respectful and fascinated by our native dogs.” Every year, during July and August, Ms Watson opens her doors at the Dingo Discovery Centre to the public. It’s a chance for people to get up close and personal with litters born at this time of the year and to sponsor an adult dingo.

Vandals bring train system down By Sumeyya Ilanbey Vandals caused a meltdown of Ballarat line train services last Thursday, leaving commuters stranded after cables were cut near Melton station. Transit Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the incident, which happened just before 2.30am and caused major signalling problems. Despite working quickly to fix the problems, V/Line technicians were not able to rectify them until about 6.45am. Commuters bore

the brunt of the chaos well into the following afternoon, when services returned to normal. V/Line spokeswoman Ebony Jordan said more than 10 services were disrupted, with some trains experiencing delays and others being replaced by coaches. The damage also caused nearby boom gates to malfunction, creating major traffic congestion and train cancellations. “This type of reckless behaviour is extremely frustrating and won’t be tolerated,” Ms Jordan said. “We are working closely with police to find those responsible.

“This is something that was out of our control, and we share our customers’ frustrations when this happens.” V/Line worked throughout the morning to bring trains back on schedule, but some morning commuters waited for up to an hour as a result of the vandalism. Many public transport users were forced to switch modes and drive to work following the announcement of service cancellations. Sergeant Jason Wombell, of the Transit CIU, said police believed the offenders were possibly from the Melton area.

“We’re keeping an open mind, but I would think [the offenders] would have a fairly good knowledge of the area,” Sergeant Wombell said. He said the costs of the damage hadn’t been calculated yet, but “as you can imagine the costs to V/Line come from delays in trains and how long the network has been inactive for”. “The after-effects cost a lot more than just the damage itself.” Contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Sergeant Wombell on 9247 3622 with any information about this issue.

Frontline gives gift of life Melton’s emergency services workers are rolling up their sleeves for a cause close to many hearts. Melton police senior constable Nicola Verbeek said her mum’s life had been saved thanks to the generosity of people who had donated both blood and organs. And now she’s busy rallying the municipality’s cops, fireys and ambos to join the vanguard of her campaign to promote the importance of donating blood and organs. “My mum went through a double lung transplant about [five] weeks ago,” senior constable Verbeek said. “The operation saved my mum’s life, and I’m just trying to do my little bit to try and save someone else’s life.” The mobile blood bank will be at Melton civic centre all next week offering people a chance to “give a gift” to those who need it most. While emergency service workers are

lined up ready to go, senior constable Verbeek is hoping others will “join their ranks” and donate also. “People might think about [donating blood or organs] in the back of their mind, but I don’t think people are aware of how important it is,” she said. “My mum wouldn’t have been here if it weren’t for the transplant – it’s a bit overwhelming and a bit emotional to think someone’s been able to save my mum’s life.” Now, senior constable Verbeek is hoping to encourage others to start the conversation about blood and organ donation, and she’s urging everyone to find out more at donatelife. gov.au For details or to make an appointment: www.donateblood.com.au/ready-to-donate/ donor-centre/melton-mobile-unit Sumeyya Ilanbey

Dame Phyllis Frost Centre inmates could care for lost dogs under plans floated by three councils in Melbourne’s west, including Brimbank. The councils have discussed with Corrections Victoria the idea of a “shared animal management facility” at the maximum security women’s prison. Corrections Minister Wade Noonan has expressed interest in the idea. Brimbank, Hobsons Bay and Wyndham councils are investigating alternative animal pound and rescue services after recent

doubts about the long-term viability of North Melbourne’s Lost Dogs Home. “The investigation of this option is based on the idea of a program for the involvement of inmates, with operational aspects of the facility, including animal care,” a council report found. “Inmate training and rehabilitation could be part of the business model.” The report found that the Lost Dogs Home is unlikely to be able to cope with the population growth of Melbourne’s west over coming decades. “Significant population growth in Melbourne’s west over the coming decades will mean similar rates of growth in the

Bookworms to hit the trail The spirit of learning will inspire Ballan residents as they take to the Moorabool ‘Literacy Trail’ on September 4. The event, in it’s ninth year, unites the town’s community to focus on the importance of reading, writing and counting. Children will meet storytellers and performers, stilt walkers and knife jugglers, dancing dogs and puppets. “The children will also collect autographs from costumed book characters along the way and have their reading passports stamped,” said council chief executive Rob Croxford. The trail will start at 10am in the rotunda on \ the main street in Ballan, Old Melbourne Road. Details: 5366 7100. VICKI AND JANE

Alternatively, a private, purpose-built facility could be constructed on industrial land, it stated. Investigations, including detailed analysis and consultation, are due by the end of the year.

A letter from Lone Pine By Katrina Bradfield August 2015 marks the Centenary anniversary of two famous moments in Gallipoli history. And while the charge at The Nek was captured in the Peter Weir film Gallipoli, less has been said about the famous Battle of Lone Pine. Several soldiers from the Bacchus Marsh district were involved at Lone Pine, including Corporal Bill Morton, Private Maurice Whelan and Corporal William Henry Platt. Platt, 25, a labourer, enlisted on January 11, 1915 as part of reinforcements to the 7th battalion. He joined the 7th at Gallipoli in June and was part of the initial battle at Lone Pine. His letter, dated October 13, 1915, appeared in the Bacchus Marsh Express and gave great detail about what happened:

Above: Corporal Bill Morton who was shot in the face at the Battle of Lone Pine in 1915. (Courtesy of Bacchus Marsh Historical Society) Above, right: Three 7th battalion troops in a trench at Lone Pine on August 9 1915. (Australian War Memorial)

heavy shelling and machinegun fire. That day, Whelan was badly wounded in the left leg and was sent to England. In August of 1916, he returned to the Marsh. Morton was injured by gunshot wounds to the face on the same day and was also sent to hospital in England. He returned to his regiment and was injured again in September 1918 with wounds to the chest and left thigh. He was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal in 1918 and was fully discharged in June, 1919.

Platt was discharged on January 26, 1916 as medically unfit. Morton, 20, from Myrniong and Whelan, 30, from Parwan, enlisted on August 19, 1914. Both farmers, they embarked together on October 19, aboard HMAT Wiltshire as part of the 4th Light Horse Regiment.

On 6th August we were told to be ready to charge at 4.30. You would think we were going to a picnic, we were all so excited. But as the time drew near, every man knew that he was going to face certain death, but soldiers count their lives as nothing. Fear goes when facing a task. Well, right on the tick of 4.30, the guns of the ship started, and then our batteries and howitzers. The Turks started to pour bombs into our lines for all they were worth. The shells were screeching and bursting all round, rifles cracking, and the rumble of the distant guns. All together it put you in mind of a terrific thunderstorm. At 5 o’clock suddenly the noise ceased. We knew something was going to happen. Then the awful din commenced. We just laid in our trenches, waiting our orders. We lost a good many men from the shells but our turn came. We were sent down to the Lone Pine to relieve the 4th batt., who by this time had taken a trench. It was a terrible corner. I have seen sights I shall never forget ….

Not even two years old, this modern house on about 1011 square metres has period features subtly included into an otherwise contemporary abode. Amber-toned polished floorboards and modern downlights juxtapose with ornate cornices in a federation style. A large family-meals area forms the hub of this property; the adjoining kitchen, with a classic white tile splashback and a stack of white, country-style cabinetry, is a beautiful space, and includes a stainless-steel dishwasher, 900mm Bosch cooker, breakfast bar and butler’s pantry. The main has walk-in wardrobe and en suite with an ornate double-basin vanity unit; the other three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. Extras include ducted heating, split system, and lock-up double garage. A covered entertainment area at the rear provides views over a backyard big enough to house a swimming pool, workshop, or both. Bacchus Marsh College, the train station and the Werribee River are just down the road.

This house sits prettily in the Botanica Springs estate of Brookfield on about 448 square metres. The open-plan design provides great spaces for people to get together in either of the two large living zones.

The large family-meals area includes a kitchen with the full range of stainless-steel appliances; pale stone benchtops with waterfall ends provide a pleasing contrast to the chocolate-toned cabinetry and feature-tile splashback.

The lounge room is separated from the porcelain floor tiles of the hallway by plush carpet. The family-meals area at the rear includes the kitchen, with stainless-steel dishwasher, underbench oven, gas cooktop, tile splashback and breakfast bar. All three bedrooms are roomy, the main also has an en suite and a feature wall for a splash of colour. The low maintenance front and back yards ensure weekends won’t be spent mowing the lawn; the courtyard at the rear provides a great sunny spot to sit back and relax. Extras are ducted heating and a lock-up single garage. All this a short distance from Woodgrove shopping centre, schools, and parks.

Buying “off-the-plan” can offer much potential but buyers need to be cautious before signing on the dotted line, according to the Victorian state manager of Archicentre, David Hallett. Mr Hallett said a big issue for buyers was interpreting the plan and understanding what they were agreeing to buy without seeing it in the flesh. “Even more important is which way will the living areas face? Will they attract sunlight? Will the view be across a park or the bay as featured in the brochure, or will you be looking straight at the wall a few metres away of the high rise building next door?” Mr Hallett said. Buying an apartment will differ to buying a suburban house. It is important to ensure every detail about the dimensions of the property, window placement and fixtures are clearly understood. “These inspections assist the apartment buyer to establish many basics, such as whether the display unit they are being shown is the standard unit or a premium unit with upgraded kitchen and bathroom appliances and fittings,” Mr Hallett said. “Even the standard of tiling and the number of coats of paint need to be determined.” Mr Hallett said off-the-plan buyers should also look into communal facilities within the apartment building and determine exact body corporate costs. “The heights of ceilings in off-the-plan buying is a key issue, especially as the floor space is usually comparatively small when compared to a house,” he said. “It is important to have the same measurements which are in the display unit written into the contract of sale for the apartment being purchased.” Buyers should also have a solid

SPORT Countdown to end game

Rockbank fires up for a big finale Rockbank is hoping to finish the Riddell District Football League season with a bang when it takes on Broadford this week. Broadford has been one of the big improvers this season and boasts some impeccable talent in its side, including former AFL duo Brodie Holland and Russell Robertson. Far from being deterred by the challenge, Rockbank is looking to claim a big scalp before the season is out. Rams president Mark Smith said although his players couldn’t make the finals, they were keen to test themselves against strong opposition. Broadford is fighting for sixth spot on the ladder. “We are really looking forward to taking these guys on,” Smith said.

“The first time we played Broadford was a pretty close game for most of the afternoon. Their class prevailed towards the end but we worked really hard.” Rockbank is hoping to have its own high-profile recruit for the match, with the club asking former Essendon player Andrew Welsh to pull the boots on for the contest. It has been a tough season for the Rams who have been unable to match their sixth placed finish of last year. Under first year head coach Gavin Sporle, Rockbank has won two games and is 11th on the RDFL ladder. The wins came against Melton Centrals and Kilmore. While the results haven’t fallen their way, Smith was full of praise for Sporle and the

work he has put into the club. “We have struggled for numbers a little bit and it has been a hard task in the twos,” Smith said. “We will get over the line though. “Gav has been great. “He is doing more than what he should be doing … coaching, team managing, sorting jumpers out before the game and working with personnel. “It has always been that way at Rockbank. “He is a great operator and we are rapt with the hard work he has put into the club.” Saturday’s match will be played at Ian Cowie Reserve with the bounce of the ball at 2pm. Liam Twomey

All aboard for goal fest By Liam Twomey Diggers Rest jumped to second spot on the Riddell District Football League ladder after a crushing win against rival Melton Centrals on Saturday. The Burras dominated the contest from the opening moments, scoring nine first-quarter goals to none. There was no letting up on the pressure with Diggers Rest remaining in control through the rest of the afternoon. The Burras booted a further 18 goals to seal the 27.12 (174) - 3.1 (19) win. On what was a dominant day for forwards, Jamie Lobb was the standout for Diggers Rest, kicking a game-high five. He was well supported by Luke Smailes, who kicked four, while Brandon Kilty finished with three. In all, the Burras had 12 individual goalkickers. The opposite was the case for the Centrals, who waited until the final quarter before registering their first. Paul Henderson booted two late goals for Melton to be his side’s leading scorer. Despite being under constant pressure, Kane Bullen and Kayne Wilson battled hard for the Centrals. The match brings an end to Melton’s 2015 campaign, the club having a bye in the final round. In its first year under head coach Glenn Hopkins, the Centrals won two games and finished 12th. The club’s two wins came against Rockbank and Kilmore. Diggers Rest will want to continue its strong form this week when it takes on the fifth-placed Macedon. If Riddell loses to Sunbury Kangaroos and the Burras win their final game of the year, Diggers Rest will finish the season on top of the ladder. Also at the weekend, Rockbank’s tough run continued with a 53-point loss at the hands of Sunbury Kangaroos. The Rams gave up five goals in the opening quarter to fall 30 points behind at the break. And there was no coming back as the Kangaroos refused to slow their momentum. The 14.20 (104) - 7.5 (51) win is Sunbury’s ninth of the season and keeps their finals hopes alive. Sunbury is in seventh spot on the RDFL ladder, equal on wins but three percentage points behind Broadford.

Jamie Lobb was a standout for Diggers Rest at the weekend. (Shawn Smits) 46 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 18, 2015

With one round remaining in the Riddell District Football League, Tara Murray looks at how the line-up may pan out. Riddell Current position: 1st Points/percentage: 60/157.81 Highest position possible: 1st Opponent this week: Sunbury Kangaroos A win this week will put Riddell on top of the ladder and clinch the minor premiership. Lose, and if Diggers Rest, Rupertswood and Romsey all win, the Bombers will slip to fourth. Diggers Rest Current position: 2nd Points/percentage: 56/207.89 Highest position possible: 1st Opponent this week: Macedon One of three sides on the same points separated only by percentages, the Burras are the only one of these sides to face a team in the top six. By far, the Burras have the best percentage of any side in the competition. Rupertswood Current position: 3rd Points/percentage: 56/188.59 Highest position possible: 1st Opponent this week: Wallan The Sharks’ win over Romsey keeps it in the mix for top spot, not only levelling them on points with the Redbacks but also boosting the side’s percentage. On paper, the Sharks have the easiest match of all four sides fighting for top. Romsey Current position: 4th Points/Percentage: 56/161.46 Highest position possible: 1st Opponent this week: Woodend-Hesket For a second consecutive week, the Redbacks, which were on top of the ladder, lost their match – this one bringing a fall from grace from top spot to fourth on the ladder. The Redbacks play Woodend-Hesket in a match they should win. Macedon Current position: 5th Points/percentage: 48/157.32 Highest position possible: 5th Opponent this week: Diggers Rest Win, lose or draw, Macedon is destined to finish fifth on the ladder. The Cats are two games behind Rupertswood, Romsey and Diggers Rest, while one game and a massive percentage ahead of Broadford. A win over the Burras will boost the Cats’ confidence. Broadford Current position: 6th Points/percentage: 44/134.59 Highest position possible: 6th Opponent this week: Rockbank Having finally broken into the top six, Broadford’s finals hopes are in its own hands. A win will mean the Sunbury Kangaroos will need a massive victory to overtake them on percentage. Lose, and Broadford will be hoping the Kangaroos do the same. Sunbury Kangaroos Current position: 7th Points/percentage: 44/131.70 Highest position possible: 6th Opponent this week: Riddell The Kangaroos need a miracle to make finals. A win against top-of-table Riddell is a must, and a Broadford loss would be the perfect outcome for the Kangaroos. If both teams win, the Kangaroos need a huge victory to pip Broadford on percentage, or they’re out.

Nervy Centrals edge into finals By Liam Twomey It had all the makings of a classic encounter and Diggers Rest’s clash against Melton Centrals lived up to the billing in the Riddell District Netball League on Saturday. With the winner set to earn a finals place, the Centrals came out on top, building an early lead then holding off the fast-finishing Burras. After taking a one-goal lead into quartertime, Melton found some of its best form after the break. It scored 16 second-term goals while restricting the Burras to seven. Melton continued to run with the momentum after the main break with a further 14 goals extending the margin. But just when it looked like a blowout was on the cards, Diggers Rest hit back. The Burras defence took control in the final term, restricting the Centrals to six goals while their attackers scored at the other end. But after cutting the margin to one, Diggers Rest couldn’t clear the final hurdle and Centrals regrouped to win 49-47. Melton coach Randy Pereira admitted the closeness of the scores gave him plenty of nervous moments late in the match. “We were actually 10 goals up with about six minutes to go and I think the girls thought they had it won,” he said. “Our lead actually got down to one goal before we eventually got it back out to the two. “It was certainly nerve-wracking but it was great to get the win and be back in the finals; we’re looking forward to them.” Melton shooter Monika Dimovski was outstanding for the Centrals, scoring 34 goals, and was well supported by 15 from Shelby Brady.

47 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 18, 2015


SPORT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Thoroughbreds hit the front By Liam Twomey Melton has taken a vital 1-0 lead in the men’s Big V basketball division 1 best-of-three grand final series. In their only home game of the series, the Thoroughbreds recovered from a slow start to storm back into contention in the second quarter. After being down by 17 points in the first term, Melton found its shooting groove from the floor both from two-point and three-point range. The Thoroughbreds outscored Latrobe 36-19 in the second quarter to go into half-time level. Both sides continued the high standard of play in the second half as the momentum

bounced around. But Melton made all the right moves and pulled off crucial plays to secure the 96-94 win. Thoroughbreds coach Julie McCallum was impressed with the way her side responded from the slow start. “I think we got caught in the headlights a bit in the first quarter,” she said. “We had to regroup and just remind the guys that everything we had done in the past few weeks had been working for us and we just had to relax a little bit. “We said we didn’t need to do anything special; we just needed to enjoy the game and lift our intensity in defence. We knew we’d have to play really good defence and we didn’t in the first quarter. We stepped that up.”

‘‘

I think we got caught in the headlights a bit

’’

- Julie McCallum

Cameron McCallum was outstanding for Melton, the big man dominating both ends of the court. He scored 24 points and had 17 rebounds and was one of the driving forces in his side’s comeback. He was well supported by Ivan Harris, who scored a game-high 26 points. “Cam and Ivan were too big and too strong,” McCallum said. “Latrobe don’t really have anyone that can match up on Cam – while Ivan, he didn’t have a

standout game but 25 or 30 points is consistent for him now. “Jeff Crowe had a quiet one by his standards, but someone else stepped up and filled his role. That’s the beauty of this team.” The series moves to Latrobe this weekend for game two on Saturday night. If Latrobe wins, the decider will be on Sunday afternoon. “I don’t think we need to change too much,” McCallum said. “We gave them a head start [in game one] and if we take away that I think we will be all right. “It’s going to be tough on their court. We just need to treat this as game one, go in there and start again.”

“We wanted to have the hungriness to finish games off, while last year we were conceding goals late in games. “We’ve lost one or two more than last year, but have turned some of those draws into wins.”

Stallions a win from title joy This Saturday looms as the biggest day in the history of the Spring Hills Soccer Club. If the Stallions defeat Lara, they will claim the state league 5 title. Spring Hills is four points clear at the top of the table and a win will guarantee the club its first piece of state league silverware. The team’s last loss was more than a month ago and Stallions coach Darren Traynor is rapt with the way his side is charging to the finish line. “Post that loss against Balmoral we have been terrific,” he said. “We have really found another gear and have been really aggressive in putting teams away. “It is funny to say that – because I have actually lost four of my starting 11 players 48 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 18, 2015

through injury and overseas trips. I have called on guys who have been on the fringe or in the reserves and they have really stepped up.” The Stallions have taken on Lara twice this season for a draw and a win. Regardless of Saturday’s result, Spring Hills is in the box seat to be promoted to state league 4 next season, with Traynor confident his side will be able to have an impact at the next level. The teams placed first and second in state league 5 will be promoted at the end of the season. The Stallions will take on bottom-of-the-table and winless Sporting Carlton in the final round. Liam Twomey

At the heart of Sydenham’s stunning run has been a watertight defence; the Reds have conceded just one goal in the past month. Sydenham Park and Western Suburbs will meet in a season-defining clash next week. “They’ll need to falter a couple of times for

us to have any chance of catching them, but we’ll just take it week by week,” Muscat says. “We’ll go into the break and reassess where we are at then.” Liam Twomey

A heart-to-heart talk between players and coach has been the catalyst for a remarkable turnaround in form at Sydenham Park Soccer Club. At the halfway point of the state league 1 season, the Reds were looming as one of the year’s biggest underachievers, sitting eighth on the ladder after losing three matches in a row. That was when coach Alan Muscat sat down with his players for an “open and honest” discussion about what was going wrong. The meeting proved just the tonic, with the Reds having won eight in a row since then, the most recent against Altona East last week. The winning streak has led to an emphatic rise up the state league 1 ladder, the Reds jumping seven places to be in outright second, just three points behind leader Western Suburbs. “[The meeting] was about what things needed to change and what we could work on as a group,” Muscat says. “It was a really good discussion and some great stuff came out of it. As a group we spoke about where we wanted to be and where we were heading. “After losing three in a row we needed to make some decisions, and they have paid off. It’s been all systems go from there.” The Reds highlighted their dominance earlier this month with a 3-0 victory against title contender North Sunshine. After having a competition-high 10 draws last season, Muscat said his players now had the confidence to risk losing to give themselves a shot at winning. “We’ve tried a lot to nullify our draws,” he said.

“With access to over 200 pre-owned vehicles, all used cars are sold with a full service history, 90-point safety check, 12 months roadside assistance and a car history check,” says Ray.

“Unlike buying a used car from a private seller, Melton Toyota’s used vehicles also come with the statutory warranty,” Ray says. “Private sales can be time consuming, frustrating and worrying. There are a host of things to look out for, and no matter how thorough you might be, a private seller may not be able to give you the sort of value or back-up Melton Toyota does.”

“No matter how good your used Toyota is, things can still go wrong from time to time. You could get a flat tyre, the battery could run flat or you could lock your keys in the car. If you buy a Toyota-certified used vehicle, we will give you one year’s worth of Toyota Roadside Assistance.” Melton Toyota understands the importance of warranties, offering

MOTOR Lexus shakes up Euro prestige Pre-owned Lexus ES300 models offer value in prestige Japanese cars built to a high standard, but at a lower cost, because earlier models were essentially Toyota Camry-Vienta with different bodies and some mechanical upgrades. The ES was criticised by some motoring journalists due to this family resemblance, which is a bit unfair as the same guys and gals don’t launch into criticisms against Audi, with comparisons between its models and lower cost Volkswagens that share its platforms. The supreme smoothness and quietness that characterise the big Lexus LS Series aren’t quite there in the ES Series, but they don’t lag all that far behind. The huge price difference between the two models makes the ES attractive. Pleasant enough to drive and travel in, the ES makes no pretence at being a sports machine. Handling is on the soft side and is dominated by front-wheel-drive understeer, if you push it too hard. Similarly, there is a slight reluctance to change direction promptly. The new 1996 model was improved over the original, but is still not one for the keen punter. Interior room of the Lexus ES is good without being outstanding. Try the back seat for yourself if you’re going to be transporting adults back there. Being a front-wheel-drive car, unlike the other Lexus passenger sedans, the ES has an advantage in legroom and boot space. When introduced in June 1992, the Lexus ES was pretty upmarket for its day, with leather trim, climate-controlled air-conditioning, a high-quality sound system, powered front

The series two Lexus ES, introduced in October 1996, brought in additional, more affordable models – the lower-priced ES300 S (without leather trim, alloy wheels, and a few other goodies) and the more upmarket ES300 LXS. Lexus ES imports to Australia stopped in 2006 as the new model of that year wasn’t built with the steering wheel on the right. Things improved in late 2013, when the next series Lexus ES Line was an all-new, model, built on a

unique platform. Imports to Australia resumed and a few examples of the 2013 issue are now appearing on the used-car market. Two Lexus ES models were introduced at that time, a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine replacing the 3.0-litre, which had retained that capacity since 1992. Lexus’s push in the hybrid field saw the introduction of the ES 300h as a serious part of the 2013 line-up. This combined a 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle four-cylinder petrol engine with nickel-metal-hydride batteries.

ES 300’s 3.0-litre V6 engine is by far the most common on the Australian used-car market. It’s silky smooth and reasonably powerful, though rather too oriented towards the top end of the rev range, in the European manner in the original series. It was fully renewed for the October 1996 update and again in 2001. Senior technicians at Toyota dealerships can carry out work, if you’re not in an area serviced directly by Lexus. Insurance is generally reasonable.
