Boost for care services Moorabool residents will benefit from a major increase in home and community care this year. A boost in funding from the health department will allow the council to extend employment of a Djerriwarrh Health Services occupational therapist from two to three days a week. The increase will help reduce the waiting list for clients. Council living-at-home assessment officers will also sit one day a week with an occupational therapist at Ballan District Health and Care to determine eligibility for home and community care in the shire’s western end. Moorabool chief executive Rob Croxford said if community needs increased, the council would look to extend these “sittings” to two days a week. Last year, Moorabool Shire’s Home and Community Care (HACC) service delivery increased by more than 900 hours and, with the introduction of new programs, was recognised and rewarded by the federal Department of Health. The HACC program provides community-based care services to eligible frail-aged, and younger people with disabilities and their carers, enabling them to live independently in their home and community. Mr Croxford said the latest lift in funding would mean clients would no longer have to wait for up to 12 months for the home visit-assessment service. “We will continue to strive to provide excellent services by highly qualified staff to those who require our support,” Mr Croxford said. “We will be working alongside the

local health services and promoting our strong partnerships approach to allied health interventions, and we will be introducing new programs that address changes in clients’ needs,” he said. Mr Croxford said there would also be a dietitian on staff one day a week, and that there were plans to employ a physiotherapist one day a week to assist with nutritional requirements and mobility issues.

‘‘

It’s exciting to be able to add these extra health services

’’

- Rob Croxford More hours of vital services would also include an increase in community-based meal programs in Korweinguboora, Yendon, Glen Park, Mt Wallace and Elaine. “There has been wonderful work done by the staff in this department, ensuring some of our most vulnerable residents are receiving the support and dedicated care they require,” Mr Croxford said. “And, along with Meals on Wheels, respite and property maintenance, it’s exciting to be able to add these extra health services to the services council already offers,” he said. For the past five years, Moorabool shire’s aged and disability services has supported 650 to 750 clients a week, covering all areas in the shire.

Calendar cash a pet subject The new year means new calendars for many walls – and a PETstock 2015 calendar can also mean new homes for homeless pets. PETstock Bacchus Marsh will donate 100 per cent of proceeds from its 2015 calendar sales to not-for-profit animal rescue organisation PetRescue. The money will help PetRescue provide support to rescue organsations and community foster care groups that save more than 6000 pets around the country every month. PetRescue founder Vickie Davy says there are thousands of dogs, cats, horses, chickens and even goats waiting for adoption. PETstock Bacchus Marsh customers – including Steph Reardon, pictured with her dog Marley – can also choose to make an additional donation to PETstock Assist when they buy a calendar. The calendars cost $2. For more information, visit www.PETstock.com.au or www.PetRescue.com.au. Yasemin Talat

Little change in grim road toll By Charlene Macaulay Victoria Police is calling on drivers to take more care in 2015 after almost 700 people were injured or killed on Brimbank and Melton roads last year. Figures obtained from the Brimbank and Melton highway patrols reveal six fatal collisions on Brimbank roads in 2014 – up from five the year before. There were 134 serious-injury collisions where the injured person was admitted to hospital (149 in 2013), and 335 collisions resulting in injury (360).

A 20-year-old Roxburgh Park man was among the fatalities when his motorbike struck the back of an MFB truck on Ballarat Road in Deer Park last month. The man died at the scene. In Melton, police recorded five fatalities (six in 2013), 76 serious-injury collisions (80) and 132 injury collisions (128). Divisional road policing adviser Ross Burbidge said two of the three pedestrians killed in Brimbank had been affected by alcohol. “Pedestrians need to take more care when crossing the road and use appropriate

locations, like controlled intersections, where there is adequate lighting,” Senior Sergeant Burbidge said. “They should also wear light-coloured clothing.” Meanwhile, police from the Brimbank and Melton highway patrols have just wrapped up Operation Summer Stay, which was run across Victoria during Christmas-New Year, targeting drivers under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and other offences. Police caught 54 drink-drivers across the two cities and detected 1835 other offences. Statewide, nearly 80,000 traffic offences were

detected during the Summer Stay campaign. They involved 27,651 speeding drivers, 8650 unregistered vehicles, 5621 mobile phone offences, 2910 seatbelt offences, 2552 drinkdrivers, 2487 disqualified and suspended drivers, and 816 drivers under the influence of drugs. Road Policing Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said although ‘Summer Stay’ had finished, the road safety message remained the same. “If everyone stays alert, sober and within the speed limit then we will take a major step towards our goal of zero deaths.”

Yuletide brings on violence

NERIDA VAN DRUNEN

Toast to a teal-good cancer campaign It’s time to “teal up”. February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month and residents are being encouraged to embrace all things teal – the international colour for ovarian cancer. Melton South’s Nerida Van Drunen, an ovarian cancer survivor, is joining the ranks of ‘Afternoon Teal’ hosts who aim to raise money for, and awareness about, ovarian cancer research. Already about 80 friends and family are invited to her afternoon tea event. “It’s just about being there for one another and supporting each other and I really hope to help Ovarian Cancer Australia a bit more.”

Ms Van Drunen was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the end of 2011 and started chemotherapy in 2012. She also underwent a hysterectomy. The mother of one said the hardest thing now was knowing her son would never have a sibling. Ms Van Drunen said having cancer was difficult to talk about when she was first diagnosed but she now feels good, is enjoying life and wants to inform others. “I still tell people [that they need] to know the symptoms and know that pap smears are for cervical cancer, not ovarian cancer,” she said.

At her ‘Afternoon Teal’, Ms Van Drunen will tell guests about the symptoms to look out for and how to show support for someone battling ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has the lowest survival rate of all women’s cancers. Of 1400 Australian women diagnosed every year, 1000 die from the disease. There is no early detection test. Teal ribbons and teal-coloured nail polish are available from Chemmart pharmacies and online as part of the month-long awareness campaign. To find out more, call 1300 660 334 or visit www.ovariancancer.net.au Yasemin Talat

The lead-up to Christmas is the busiest time of the year for family violence services, with Women’s Health West (WHW) receiving the same number of police referrals in December as it did for the entire year in 2006-07. WHW received 657 police referrals for the western metropolitan area in December last year and 715 in November. According to WHW 24-hour crisis response co-ordinator Louisa, the service received 708 police referrals for the entire 2006-7 year. “It’s positive in that people are reporting it more. It’s becoming everyone’s business instead of staying hushed up,” she said. “The festive season is a time when families can be quite stressed financially and emotionally. “While alcohol or drugs don’t help, they’re not the cause. It’s ultimately about power and control.” Council of Single Mothers and Their Children spokeswoman Kerry Davies said Christmas could be troubling for single parents. “For parents who are separated and share custody of children, it can lead to much contention over who has them and when,” she said. “Domestic violence doesn’t always end when people separate.” Ms Davies said although stress was often a factor, it was no excuse. “People who are stressed and deal with it by being violent at home know the difference,” she said. “They don’t go to work and do it to their boss.” Priscilla Moca

Weather belies threat to come By Sumeyya Ilanbey Despite a return to cooler temperatures this week, authorities are warning residents to be extra vigilant to the threat of fires this summer. Bacchus Marsh CFA 4th lieutenant Dale Salathiel said his team had responded to about 13 bushfires by the end of the first week of 2015. “Most of the fires we attended to have been large-scale and there have been a lot of fires,” Mr Salathiel said. “We don’t know what’s around the corner.” He advised residents to keep an eye out on

the CFA website for important warnings and advice to evacuate before it became too late. “Be well prepared [if you’re going to stay] – have you got enough water supply? Is it worth risking your life? Did you have your gutters cleaned? “Houses can be replaced but lives can’t.” Cars blocking emergency vehicles posed a real hazard and hindered firefighters, Mr Salathiel said. The Department of Environment and Primary Industries’ district veterinary officer Dr Lee Manning advised residents to update

and practice their household and farm fire plans. “Pre-planning where to evacuate your animals is extremely important as evacuation is an absolute last resort,” Dr Manning said. “Practice loading the children and pets into the car in a mock-evacuation to ensure you are ready well before you need to leave.” The Department of Health has already issued three heat health alerts for the central district, which includes Melton and Moorabool, this year. Alerts are issued when average temperatures are due to reach and exceed heat

health thresholds, which is 30 degrees in the central district. Chief health officer Dr Rosemary Lester said the state will experience an hotter than average February. “It’s really important there is a community response to the alerts we issue,” Dr Lester said. People over the age of 65, individuals with some medical conditions, those who have a mental illness, pregnant women, babies and children are the most vulnerable. Heat health alerts, are issued at www.health. vic.gov.au/environment/heatwaves-alert.

As temperatures soared last Wednesday hundreds of people sought refuge at Melton Waves Leisure Centre, including three-year-old Chase and dad Steph (pictured). As Melton Waves’ lifeguards reminded the kids and adults about general water safety, Melton council announced it would be undertaking pool and spa audits at homes across the municipality. Pools and spas with water a depth of 30 centimetres or more are required to have safety barriers. Those connected to permanent recirculation filtered systems must have building permits and associated safety barriers. For more information, call the council’s building unit on 9747 7200.

Kurunjang plans to be revised By Sumeyya Ilanbey A building company will go back to the drawing board in its bid to develop a Kurunjang site, after an unfavourable ruling by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Keilor Park-based Nostra Homes applied for a permit to build four single-storey dwellings on land in Rivette Street about two years ago. Melton council refused the application because it was “inconsistent with numerous elements of Clause 55 of the Melton Planning

‘‘

We have to go back to the drawing board

’’

- Mario De Petro

Scheme”, according to acting planning and environment manager Steve Finlay. “It was also considered … that the proposal represented an over-development of the land,” Mr Finlay said. Nostra Homes will work with its client to see if a different design is possible on the site.

“The client, in this case, was trying to maximise his return [as is his right as the land owner] by applying for a permit to build four homes on the subject site,” Nostra Homes marketing manager Mario De Petro said. “The permit, had it been granted, would have provided further options for affordability and diversity of product within the area. “In this case, VCAT and the council did not agree with the original application so we have to go back to the drawing board with our client to come up with a better solution … we respect the referee’s decision.”

VCAT member Cindy Wilson cited carparking, streetscapes and neighbourhood character as reasons for the application’s rejection. “I agree that the type of dwelling proposed will contribute to diversity of dwelling type and add to the number of dwellings,” she said. “But I am not persuaded the review site is well located for access to services and facilities or to numerous modes of transport.” The Melton Planning Scheme can be found at planningschemes.dpcd.vic.gov.au/schemes/ melton.

Success no faux pas Peter Faux tapped his way into the magical world of dance at just 12 years of age. “I started with tap and jazz then picked up classical,” Faux said. This year, the 65-year-old will celebrate a milestone – the 30th anniversary of his Peter Faux Dance Ensemble in Melton. Faux and four colleagues teach classes in classical, contemporary, folk, hip-hop, jazz, tap and acrobatic dancing. Even though the well-respected teacher misses performing, he says teaching provides ample satisfaction. “The excitement of students, who work hard to understand and be able to do particular exercises and moves, makes it worthwhile,” Faux said. He believes the secrets to success are discipline and hard work. “A lot of people want to be someone

or something, but they never want to do something,” he said. “The greatest asset any human being has is an inquisitive mind that wants to know how to do things better.” His greatest thrill comes from seeing students reach their potential and succeed, Faux said. The dance studio offers classes in garuda, a dance technique that draws on yoga and pilates. Call 0418 337 810, 1-3pm, or visit the studios at 53 Reserve Road, Melton. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Sharing goes online By Yasemin Talat A new network aimed at connecting businesses will be launched in Melton this week. The ConnecT Network Melton and Bacchus Marsh will officially be launched on Thursday by local business Customised Training. The network was designed to bring together businesses in Melton and Bacchus Marsh to create a forum for discussion and connection. Operations manager Pauline Caruana, who put forward the initiative, said there was a need for a network in the area. “There was no local forum for businesses,” Ms Caruana said. “We thought [of it] as a way of giving back to the community, and by being a training organisation and the facilitator we can really create something that can be of value to small and medium businesses in the area.” Ms Caruana said small businesses needed support from each other and had a lot to share and learn. “We hope we can facilitate networking between businesses and really help each other be successful,” she said. “And we hope to be able to share what we’ve learnt by starting off as a very small business and growing bigger over the years.” The network offers different memberships, which include access to a monthly meeting, listings on an online business directory, a review of the business’s website, promotional opportunities and a monthly e-newsletter. The official launch and first meeting will be held at Melton library at 5.15pm on January 15 and is free.

Food bus feeds on Kris’s exit It was a Kris Kringle of a different kind at Moorabool council at Christmas, with staff opting to donate to council services instead of the traditional gift-swapping. In lieu of an office KK, staff helped raise more than $480 for the council’s Aged and Disability Services Bacchus Marsh food bus, a service run by volunteers to provide meals for people in need. The council’s community services directorate also donated food, which volunteers distributed at a Christmas lunch at the Quamby Room in Bacchus Marsh. Mayor Paul Tatchell said he applauded the efforts to give back to the community. “The decision to donate money and food in lieu of a Kris Kringle has resulted in more food going to those in need,” Cr Tatchell said. “And, unfortunately, the number of people using this service continues to grow.” The food bus first drove into town in December 2013 with only two clients. Now an average of between 30 and 40 people use the service every night. In 2014, the food bus served about 2000 meals, 1300 cups of coffee and 650 cups of Milo, the Milo being given mostly to children. The council has also supported the service with the installation of a three-phase power access and by opening the Quamby Room for people to have showers and eat in the dining area.

difficult” in the beginning, especially at social gatherings, but it got easier. “I certainly don’t drink excessively, but I like a beer or two,” he said. “I think it’s important to have these challenges and to challenge yourself in terms of trying to improve your lifestyle.” Dr Sadhai and his Feb Four teammates, Kate, Peter and Andrea, raised $1000 last year. “I think it’s an excellent thing to do and I highly recommend it to people from all walks of life,” he said. “Give it a go and be prepared to challenge yourself.” Febfast 2015 kicks off in February for 28 days.

Melton a real estate magnet By Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton is one of the state’s most affordable destinations for investors, tenants and first home-buyers, according to a new report. The report by CoreLogic RP Data analysed the “Best of the Best for 2014” and found Melton suburbs were an ideal location for people seeking affordability. Company spokesman Robert Larocca encouraged people who wanted a higher return for their property to invest and rent out properties in Melton South, where the

median sale price is $235,000 and rent is $260 – a 5.8 per cent yield. “An investor looking for good rental yield would be more likely to find that in Melton than in the inner east,” Mr Larocca said. According to the report, Melton South was ranked second in terms of “most affordable median weekly advertised rent”, just behind Lang Lang, 73 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. “[Melton] is undergoing change; it’s an area that’s been popular, more so with those buying newer properties,” Mr Larocca said.

Properties in Melton, Melton South, Kurunjang and Rockbank are a hit with people wanting to buy affordable houses, while Melton South, Melton, Kurunjang, Melton West and Diggers Rest offer some of the state’s most affordable rental properties. “If you’re trying to rent out a property, the most important thing is to have a really good property manager,” Mr Larocca said. “Without a tenant, an investment is not useful.” Senior property manager Jo Elma, of Ray White Melton, said she had noticed an influx

of people wanting to rent and buy in the area. “We’ve seen a lot of people come out this way in the past two or three years,” Ms Elma said. “Some people stay in the area and move house regularly, but the majority of tenants stay long-term. “I’d 100 per cent recommend investors to invest here.” Ms Elma said a number of people had showed interest in the new suburb of Arnolds Creek.

A ballooning love affair Melton and Moorabool firefighters are asking locals to get behind them and help paint the town red next month. As part of national Red Balloon Day, on February 28, Australians are being asked to show their support for firefighters by flying red balloons from their mailboxes or fences as a simple way of saying “thank you, fireys”. Melton fire brigade leading firefighter Shane Bailey says he’s hoping many people will get on board and pledge their support. “Supporting the cause will allow for the purchase of additional equipment that brigades can then use to combat fires,” Mr Bailey said. “The thanks the community gives will be much appreciated.” It’s CFA volunteers who appreciate the “thank you” efforts the most, according to Bacchus Marsh fire brigade 4th lieutenant Dale Salathiel.

“A lot of people don’t realise we’re 100 per cent volunteers,” Mr Salathiel said. He said firefighters often worked until the early hours of the morning only to face getting up at 6.30am to get to their “regular” jobs. All profits from the sale of red balloons and other merchandise from the nationalredballoonday.org website will go to the state from which the item is purchased. To find out more, call Jody Hardiman on 0409 439 660. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Home cooked goodness – home delivered FINDING the time to cook a nutritious meal every night can often be challenging. Then you need to have a seemingly endless list of ideas to keep the meals ‘new’ and not ‘boring’. If you are finding it testing to come up with a healthy meal options every night, why not freshen up your ideas in the kitchen by calling on the team at Choice Fresh Meals? For almost two decades, the Company has been keeping people well fed without the hassle of preparation, providing meals in our community to: • Seniors who need our meal service to allow them to remain independent • Busy professional people who don’t have the time to prepare nourishing food • People with an ongoing illness who are unable to cook for themselves. A couple who have taken advantage of the service Choice Fresh Meals offers are Jack and Mavis Kennedy. Both 86, the couple decided to try Choice Fresh Meals after Mavis had heard good reports from friends. “I belong to seniors and we began talking about meals one day and someone said they were using the company and we decided to give it a try”, Mavis said. “The main reason we did it was that if anything happens to me, Jack would struggle to carry on with preparing food. And the same goes for me if something happened to Jack. It’s a nice break from cooking every night and they have a large choice of 10006735-01-a11Mar©MMP meals…everyone has something they don’t like, so it is nice to have a good range to choose 14 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES WEEKLY from.” “We have tried a few different services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals,” Mavis said. “It’s conveniently delivered to us by Choice Fresh Meals who also now deliver fresh bread and milk and I look forward to not having to cook for the three nights… it’s a nice break. 1133039-DJ19-14

PRDnationwide: 9747 6665 Price: $269,000 Private sale

On about 1011 square metres on the edge of sought-after Grantleigh estate, this spacious house showcases the freedom of open-plan living and has a soft-sandstone wall colour with bright accents found in feature walls. To the left of the entry hall, the main bedroom has a walk-in robe and large en suite with twin vanity basins. Next door is an open study, glimpsed through cavity walls; three more bedrooms (with robes) are at the back, as is the main bathroom and laundry. The back bedrooms wrap around a rumpus room/children’s retreat which accesses the undercover entertainment area. Next to a large family-meals area (also with outdoor area access), the kitchen has loads of two-tone cabinetry, an island bench, walk-in pantry and stainless-steel 900mm cooker. A 3.5kW solar power system, big grassy backyard and a remote-controlled double garage with internal access add to the overall attraction.

In a street that bisects the town, allowing quick access to everything on offer, this house on a good-sized block represents good value for a first-home buyer, investor or smaller family. Of the three large bedrooms, the main has an en suite – and a ceiling fan, which are found in most rooms. The main bathroom has deep moss-green laminate atop a blonde-timber laminate vanity unit. The same moss-green is found on benchtops and splashback in the kitchen which has an abundance of cream cabinetry, an electric cooktop and dishwasher, and the views from the sink take in the outdoor entertainment area under a gabled roof. Through an archway from the tiled entry hall, the carpeted lounge room has a wood heater. Ducted heating and air-conditioning take further care of seasonal comfort. A double carport has rear access to a workshop with benches, and the backyard is landscaped while still allowing scope for further additions.

On a corner block of about 670 square metres, this house is rented at $295 a week but is ripe for renovation if moving in – and there’s scope for possible subdivision, subject to council approval. The house has a funky 70s vibe, especially in the kitchen where there are canary-yellow benchtops on dark timber-laminate cupboards, and vinyl flooring and splashback tiles of the era; it also has a wall oven and electric cooktop. Three of the good-sized bedrooms have built-in robes. There’s a bathroom in peach tones. Living areas are a lounge room and a rear sunroom with a wall of built-in closets and big windows looking out to the backyard. Side access from Manor Street leads to a large aluminium garage. The property is within a walk of the town’s vibrant cafe scene, schools, shops and transport.

On-the-ball investors are likely to want to snaffle this modern house on about 347 square metres to add to their portfolio – that’s if a small family or first-home buyer doesn’t get in first. It’s all easy maintenance and compact spaces inside where a contemporary colour palette and mostly timber blinds enhance the streamlined feel. Each of three bedrooms has a built-in wardrobe while the main also has an en suite. The main bathroom has a raised vanity basin and accommodates a European-style cupboard laundry. An open lounge room couples with a family-meals area, and the kitchen has an island servery-breakfast bench topped with laminate, ample storage in milk chocolate-toned cabinetry, a wide fridge recess, pantry cupboard and stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher. Ducted heating and a split-system provide climate control and there’s a double garage. Easy-upkeep gardens are at the front while, out back, it’s all pebbles.

MELTON SOUTH 8 Birdswing Terrace, 3337 Barry Plant: 9746 6000

Price: $426,000

Four years old and still shiny-new, this appealing house of about 37 squares is fitted out with top-notch fixtures and fittings and has a decor stamped with class. Glossy honey-toned floating floorboards combine with off-white walls and roller blinds in most rooms and smatterings of natural timber to deliver an interior with strong attraction. And because the owners have chosen red as the accent colour in furnishings, the downlight-studded dropped ceiling above the kitchen has a trim in that colour, cleverly bringing it all together.

Private sale The first of three living zones is to the right of the entry hall and, handy for visitors, there’s a powder room across the way. The main bedroom opposite is a real treat, with a fitted walk-in wardrobe easily big enough to serve as a dressing room, and a large (there’s no stinting on size at this place) en suite with dual raised basins on a vanity unit with loads of storage, and a (big) shower. Three more bedrooms, a separate toilet and a smart bathroom are at the back, wrapped around a rumpus room/ children’s retreat.

The beating heart of any home, the kitchen here is one that family cooks and entertainers will relish. It has an island bench, topped with soft-latte stone and able to easily seat five for breakfast; a glass splashback in the same subtle tone; rich chocolate-toned cabinetry; an integrated microwave, dishwasher and 900mm cooker; and a very large walk-in pantry which accesses the laundry. From the family-meals area where the floorboards appear to stretch for miles, timber-framed doors slide right

back to allow free flow to an integrated outdoor room (large) with ceiling fan. This space looks out to a stretch of lawn and perimeter planting, all neat as a pin and easily maintained. Ducted heating and a split-system take care of Melton’s changing seasons and the double garage has internal access. This fine property is in an up-and-coming area on the city fringe, where young families can enjoy a sense of community as it grows around them.

SPORT Country Week cricket tests Gisborne’s best juniors It was mixed fortunes for the Gisborne sides in the Central Highlands Junior Country Week finals on Friday. The Gisborne Green teams in the under-13 and under-15 competitions were both expected to play Ballarat Gold in the finals. The under-13 match went ahead, with Gisborne Green falling short of the title. The under-15 final was called off due to the weather, with Gisborne Green taking home the title due to a better percentage in the round robin stage. Speaking during the week, under-13 coach Gavin MacKay said the boys had really

enjoyed the competition. “It’s been a fantastic experience and a lot of fun, and we’ve had a couple of wins,” MacKay said. “Last year the boys played in the second of the Gisborne teams, Gisborne White. “They’ve learnt a little more with their cricket this year. “Last year they were 12-year-olds and found themselves intimated,” MacKay said. “This year they feel like they’re the big boys. “The running between the wickets and the applying of pressure has been a lot better.” MacKay said there hadn’t been a standout in the side with all the boys playing their

roles well. “They have exceeded expectations and I thought at the very start they were a chance to make the final. “The lads have put in a great performance with the bat and the ball. Three of them had to retire after making 40s.” Unfortunately for Gisborne Green, they fell short in the final. After sending Ballarat Gold in, the Greens restricted them to 5-151 off the allocated 40 overs. The wickets were shared between the players, with five bowlers picking up a ‘pole’ each.

In reply, Green could manage only 7-118, Flynn Lakely top-scoring with 40 not out and having to retire. Gisborne White finished the under-13 competition in fifth place. In the under-15s, Gisborne Green defended the title it won last year. To take the title, Green won its three matches in the round robin phase to finish on a better percentage than Ballarat Gold. Gisborne White finished sixth in the under-16 competition. Tara Murray

Lions fight with pride By Tara Murray The results may not be there, but the positives are flowing for Melton in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association’s Craig Shield competition. After the first four rounds of the under-15 comp, formerly known as the Hatch Shield, the Lions are winless after three matches, having had the bye in round one. Coach Bill Clarke says the side has been competitive in the field but struggled when it’s time to bat. The Lions made 84 in their first match against Sunshine and went within a wicket of bowling them out for a win. Against Werribee, the Lions made 7-109, which Werribee reached for the loss of six wickets. In a shortened match against Williamstown, the Lions made 7-52 while needing 63 for a win.

“Our bowling and fielding is up with any of the sides in the competition, but we don’t have the same batting strength,” Clarke said. “We’re a young and inexperienced side, so it’s a learning curve and we are showing good signs. “Many of our players have never played turf cricket before and are learning the concept as we go along.” He said all the players had performed with the ball when given a chance. “They’ve bowled really well and shared the wickets around,” he said. “Tyler Cox, Brandon Foley, Jarod Spry, Ricky Frew and Aaron Clarke have all chipped away. They’ve been very consistent.” Clarke said lack of batting experience wasn’t helped with the size of his players. “Only three of our players played last year,” he said. “Our boys aren’t as big as some of the other

clubs and have struggled to hit the ball to the boundary. The grounds are bigger than what they’ve played on before. “But we’ve been competitive considering our [lack of] experience.” The competition doesn’t get any easier for the Lions, who face the top two teams – Yarraville and Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows – in the last three rounds. Both teams are unbeaten, with the game between them called off on Sunday due to a damp wicket. “As long as we’re competitive against Yarraville and Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows I’ll be happy,” Clarke said. “Both teams are a lot bigger and stronger. “We’re in with a good chance against Altona. I think it will be a really close match and hopefully we can bat well and get a win.” For more pictures, go to www.melton. starweekly.com.au.

The Western Spirit under-18s had a thrilling win against South East Bayside Breakers in Sunday’s Victorian Bushrangers 50-overs state cricket championship. The match went down to the final over, with the Spirit needing one wicket and the Breakers just seven runs for the win. A runout on the first ball of the over clinched it for the Spirit, who had got off to a bad start with the bat, stumbling to 4-27. Opener Jarryd Clements anchored the innings, making 50 as the team struggled to post a score. Effective lower-order batting from No. 9 Jack Mattsson took the Spirit to 9-166, Mattsson making 39 before being run out. In reply, the Breakers lost an early wicket before seemingly taking control at 2-76. Tight bowling by the Spirit attack reaped 4-12 to give the team a chance. Within sight of victory, the Breakers started to lose wickets and at the end fell just short, all out for 160. The Central Highlanders under-18 boys state team lost its opening match by 18 runs. Originally the group D match between the Northern Falcons and Highlanders was scheduled to be played at Princes Park, Carlton, but the game was moved to Donvale after rain in the lead-up. The Falcons won the toss and decided to bowl. Two early wickets, including state player Matthew Underwood, seemed to have justified the call. But the Highlanders’ other state representative, Blake Thomson, set about righting the ship, setting some sort of total, and his 87 helped push the score to 8-166. With 23, Romsey’s Rowan Scott was the only other batsman to get going. Leg-Spinner Nick Strangio, who plays for Bacchus Marsh, struck early to have the Falcons 2-36, but the Highlanders struggled to keep the pressure on, let alone take wickets. The Falcons finished on 5-181. The Highlanders’ second-round match was due to be played on Monday against Outer East Eagles, while the Spirit was due to play the Northern Rivers. Round three today pits the Spirit against Mallee Murray Bulls, while the Highlanders take on South East Sharks. Tara Murray 45 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 13, 2015

Bacchus Marsh on a roll By Tara Murray Bacchus Marsh remains in the finals hunt of the Gisborne and District Cricket Association’s McIntyre Cup with a win over Gisborne on Saturday. Sitting sixth on the ladder, Bacchus Marsh is now equal on points with Gisborne, which entered the round in fourth place and slipped to fifth with a loss. Batting first, Bacchus Marsh opener Peter Lalor cracked a quickfire 54. When he was dismissed with the score on 77, the wickets tumbled far too quickly for the Marsh’s liking, its innings finishing at 9-146. But it got off to a perfect start with the ball, dismissing Gisborne captain-coach Daniel Trevillian for a duck. Similar to its own innings, wickets fell rapidly, with Gisborne needing eight runs with two wickets in hand to win. Bacchus Marsh managed to get both wickets without a run scored, to win by seven runs. In B-grade, Bacchus Marsh produced a shock with its massive win over Diggers Rest Bulla. Batting first, Bacchus Marsh made the most of benign conditions, reaching 7-210. Ian Spiteri top-scored with 70 and opener Jack Lalor made 64. Diggers Rest Bulla could manage only 111, with Robert Somers and Jack Powell taking four wickets apiece. The loss drops Diggers Rest Bulla outside the top four, while Bacchus Marsh is nine points clear of the bottom-placed Sunbury United. St Anthonys also suffered a loss: to East Sunbury for the second time this season. St Anthonys struggled to make 67, which East Sunbury passed with ease.

Cricket

Melton didn’t make it on to the pitch in its Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association match on Saturday after competition organisers kept a number of wickets closed due to last week’s downpours. In the north-west group, which includes Melton, only one match went ahead. The teams that didn’t play, including Melton and its opponent Brunswick, split the points. This week Melton faces Preston in a two-dayer.

Soccer

Former Kurunjang Secondary College student Mathew Leckie was a lead hand for Australia in its 4-1 win over Kuwait at the start of the Asian Cup at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on Friday. Leckie plies his trade for FC Ingolstadt 04 in the German second division but came home to help the Socceroos press for Asian football’s biggest trophy. Keilor Park and Melbourne Knights youth player Matthew Spiranovic, former St Albans Saints and Melbourne Knights player Ivan Franjic and Green Gully Cavaliersproduced Aziz Behich were other locals selected for the Socceroos.

New Panthers coach aims for big marks The lure of being able to coach in his home town was a major factor for Mark Pederson taking on the Melton South football coaching job. After months of searching, the Ballarat Football League club appointed Pederson to the role in late October. He was set to continue his role with VFL club Coburg before the Panthers got in touch. “It was a very late appointment and I had just been reappointed at Coburg,” Pederson said. “I live in Melton and, being at VFL level, it’s very full on. “I was sick of travelling and was approached by Melton South. It was hard to leave Coburg as it’s every coach’s dream to coach at that level.” Pederson, a premiership coach with Romsey in the Riddell District Football League, says he’s excited by the challenge ahead. “They seemed very enthusiastic and I know

a lot of people at Melton south; it was my brother’s club. “They finished second-bottom and I love a challenge. I feel like I can do something. “The challenge inspires me and the players I have met … a lot of young kids who want to learn about the game and improve.” He said the club would build around its younger players. “We are forming a new, exciting culture at this club,” he said. “The under-18 team finished on top of the ladder and they’re exciting young players. “If I can introduce some exciting senior players, we will get the right mix and anything is possible. “I want players at the club for the right reasons and I’m happy with who we have here,” Pederson told Star Weekly.

Joining Pederson in the coaches’ box is former AFL player Darren Stanley and Panthers favorite son Shane Geddes. “Any player coming into the club will get coaching equal to or better than anything in the BFL and RDFL,” Pederson said. He said the club would announce some signings once they became official. As well as looking to develop the club, Pederson wants to develop the players to be the best they can. “I certainly want to help them achieve the dream of playing at the highest level they want to,” he said. “If we have young players who can play TAC or VFL, I will be pushing them in that direction.” Tara Murray

Melton derby a first-round blast for BFL Crosstown rivals Melton and Melton South won’t have to wait long to face off in 2015, with the teams to do battle in the opening round of the Ballarat Football League. Action starts on April 18 for all clubs, except reigning premier North Ballarat City, which has the bye. The Bloods and Panthers will play under lights in round one at Melton Recreation Reserve in one of two clashes between the clubs, the other being in round 13’s rivalry round. Both clubs will play a second night match when they travel to Clarke Oval to play Sunbury in rounds five and four. Darley will host Sunbury in round one, while Bacchus Marsh plays Sebastopol at Marty Busch Reserve. The Cobras’ first home game is in round two when they face Devils in the clubs’ traditional Anzac Day match. The two clubs will play each other again in rivalry round. The football grand final rematch between North Ballarat City and Ballarat will be in round three, while the A-grade netball grand final rematch between Melton and Sunbury is in round five. The senior grand finals will be held on the same weekend as last year – September 19-20 – while the league will play Bendigo in the AFL Victoria country championships on May 23. BFNL operations manager Aaron Nunn said the league was happy with the overall fixturing. “We’ve been able to work a number of special features into next season’s draw, which includes a number of marquee games for all clubs that will hopefully draw more spectator attention and a number of initiatives to assist with the maintenance of facilities and upkeep of local grounds,” he said. “This year’s draw has been particularly difficult to put together given the number of variables we need to work with. “While not all requests could be granted, which is the case every year, we’re extremely happy that we’ve been able to work in a majority of club requests for the season ahead.” Tara Murray

Melton turns a corner By Tara Murray It’s a big couple of years coming up for Melton Hockey Club. On the back of the club’s women’s team making the finals for the first time last season, the club is focusing on growing its junior program and improving its men’s division. New president Ron Shadbolt says club members are excited by the challenges ahead, including the opening of a new centre early next year. “The new facility means a lot to our club,” Shadbolt told Star Weekly. “A lot of people haven’t realised we are behind the old Mowbray school. “The new owners have let us stay there otherwise we would have closed down. But we’re still out of sight and, to a degree, out of mind.” Shadbolt, a co-coach of the women’s team

with David Gorton, says the club is searching for new players. “A lot of them in Melton play elsewhere. Figures tell us at least 60 players in Melton turn out for other clubs,” he said. “Our junior program has healthy numbers and we’re planning to run a competition in Melton that means they don’t have to travel to play. “This is the first time we’ll have done that. It will be a five-a-side internal competition. “Hockey Victoria will also be running skills programs in Melton and Caroline Springs schools to get more children interested.” Of the senior side of things, Shadbolt says the club is keen to build on the success of last season. “We have a new men’s coach and we want to see it developed. There’s a lot of untapped talent and we want to go up into the higher league,” he said. “With the women, we were one or two

players short of being in the mix for promotion. We made finals for the first time and weren’t that far from being in the promotion mix. “We’ve had a real explosion of numbers on the women’s side in the last few years, going from 12 women to 55.” The men’s side will have a familiar face in charge this year: Glenn Lawrence. “We decided we needed a change, with Scott McLaren having been in charge for nearly six years,” Shadbolt said. “He had been enthusiastic and hard working but, like us, realised we needed a change. He will still be involved with the club. “Glenn [Lawrence] has been a club member at least 10 years. He’s coached us before and has played 500 games of hockey so he has a lot of knowledge and experience. “We’re still young and quite inexperienced, so he will be an asset.”

Eagles rock in tandem The Eynesbury Eagles’ top two sides remain on track to finish on top of their ladders in the Western Suburbs Churches and Community Cricket Association after hard-fought wins on Saturday. In A-grade, the Eagles struggled to chase down Altona Sports’ modest 75. The Eagles appeared to be coasting at 5-49, but then the wickets started to fall. They found themselves needing nine runs with one wicket remaining. No.10 Ray Davis and No.11 Mark Pino got them across the line, the team registering their own humble 9-78. In B-grade, the Eagles were six wickets down when they reached the Altona Roosters’ 120. The Eagles are two points clear of St Johns on the B-grade ladder and eight points clear of Manor Lakes in A-grade. 47 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 13, 2015
