Kids lap up their alphabet soup

Melton South Primary School’s Jayden, Callum and Mineaka and their prep friends had a ball last week when their teachers organised ‘clown day’ to encourage practical and fun learning. Alphabet letters and the sounds of ‘c’ and ‘s’ were explained in class, and ‘super clowns’ and ‘silly clowns’ flocked to school on Friday for a novelty day. Teacher Louy Saade said the idea was to make the activities fun and relatable while helping the children learn to pronounce some tricky consonants – like the letter ‘c’, which produces a different sound when used in ‘circus’ than, for example, in ‘clown’. The teachers also dressed up to lead the fun. “We love it; we’re big kids ourselves,” Mr Saade said. Yasemin Talat

There were 307 seatbelt offences and 366 mobile phone offences. Constable Edwards said mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts were offences that contributed to serious injury and fatality collisions. Motorcycle trauma has also made up 25 per cent of all Labour Day long weekend road trauma incidents in the past five years. Constable Edwards said police would also concentrate on drivers tailgating. “We encourage everyone to follow the two-second rule and remain a minimum two seconds behind other vehicles,” he said. Members of the state highway patrol,

heavy vehicle unit, road policing drug and alcohol section and operations response unit will be used to support the statewide operation, particularly in 10 identified highrisk police service areas, which include Brimbank. Constable Edwards warned anyone heading out over the long weekend to be mindful of other motorists and high traffic levels. He said the times of highest risk were when people were leaving for holiday destinations and coming home. “Plan ahead, give yourself plenty of time and be patient,” he said.

Melton highway patrol will launch a major traffic blitz during the high-risk Labor Day long weekend. Operation ARID will apply across Victoria from March 6 to 9, aiming to reduce road crashes and trauma over the traditionally high-risk holiday period. Constable Allan Edwards, of the Melton highway patrol, said the major operation followed high levels of road trauma experienced on Victorian roads at the corresponding time last year. “Across the state last year was one of the

worst long weekends for quite some time and we don’t want to see a repeat of that this year,” Constable Edwards said. During the 2014 long weekend, nine people died on Victorian roads and almost 200 were injured. “We’re hoping to see no injuries and no fatalities,” Constable Edwards said. As part of the operation, police will saturate the state’s major highways and freeways, targeting speeding and distracted drivers. During the 2014 long weekend, 3785 Victorian drivers were caught speeding. Police also nabbed 546 drink-drivers and 55 drug-drivers. 1170057-DJ04-15 10020845-01

North, west wait longer for scans By Sumeyya Ilanbey

aps and Public hospital patients in the northern and models western suburbs are waiting twice as long as for MRI and CT scans, the ll bethose onin the south auditor-general has found. displayThe average waiting period at four hospitals in the northern and western metropolitan areas was 60 days, compared with 27 days in three public hospitals in the south. And some patients waited as long as 100 days for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans. The hospitals were not named in the report.

was not adequately planning for future growth. “Planning undertaken by health services at the hospital level is inadequate,” Mr Doyle said. “The Department of Health and Human - John Doyle Services does not include imaging services in its planning at the state level. “I can’t be assured that CT and MRI services Auditor-General John Doyle tabled a report are being used optimally or that the state is well last Wednesday, outlining the effectiveness and positioned to meet future demand.” The auditor-general found there was a efficiency of high-value equipment in public “considerable variation” in the number of scans hospitals. \ He found \ hospitals weren’t managing being conducted. “It is concerning that one hospital can CT and MRI scanners efficiently and the Department of Health and Human Services have a wait list of up to 90 days for an MRI

Planning by health services is … inadequate

’’

scan while the waiting time in a hospital less than 10 kilometres away is under three days,” Mr Doyle said.“This is not making best use of costly resources.” CT scanners cost between $1 million and $2 million and MR scanners from $1.5 million to $3 million. The equipment has a life-span of only 10 years and each scanner costs more than $180,000 annually to maintain. Mr Doyle said that if the department implemented the eight recommendations in the report, it would “help health services better utilise these expensive assets”.

Three teens to face court over school fires

Laptop brothers ask for your help It was an over-the-dinner-table conversation that sparked a philanthropic idea . . . the O’Connor brothers decided to refurbish damaged laptops and donate them to schools in the western suburbs. But there’s one problem, and Aaron and Andrew O’Connor need your help. “There are families with three-plus kids and they’re having to purchase devices and it gets expensive,” Aaron said. “If they want to buy the laptops from the shops, anything that’s half decent is $500. Then multiply that by three.”

The computer technician is calling on local businesses and residents to donate their old and damaged laptops. “If a laptop has a broken screen, I might be able to get a screen from somewhere else … I can get a couple of machines to make up one or two,” Aaron said. He said laptops still in good physical condition would be ideal for this project. The 25-year-old, who has been playing around with computers since he was 14, hopes this initiative will help ease the burden on families that are struggling financially.

“When I was younger, I was involved in community work and never liked seeing people disadvantaged,” he said. “Kids these days are the most disadvantaged and miss out on a lot.” The Diggers Rest brothers are hoping to help out students in their “own backyard” first. They will get in touch with school welfare departments, which will allocate the refurbished devices to their students. For more information or to donate, call 9740 1060.

Three teenagers have been charged with setting fire to equipment at their former high school. The three 18-year-olds, from Caroline Springs and Burnside Heights, were arrested last week following fires at Brookside College in Caroline Springs on Sunday, February 22. Play equipment and a shade cloth were set alight, causing damage valued at about $50,000. Police believe the fires were lit for thrills and say the three men took an accelerant to the school with the intention of destroying the playground equipment. Detective Senior Sergeant Barry Jenks, of the Melton criminal investigation unit, said the equipment was destroyed. “We don’t believe they intended damaging any other buildings or structures at the school, but it’s an extremely concerning incident and has real potential to cause more damage and injury,” Detective Senior Sergeant Jenks said. The teenagers have been charged on summons to appear at Sunshine Magistrates Court at a later date. Police say they are not looking for any other suspects. Brookside College was contacted by Star Weekly but declined to comment. Residents are urged to call Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000 if they suspect someone of deliberately or recklessly lighting a fire.

Dogs bark for men’s health

By Yasemin Talat

The Western Bulldogs will kick off their Sons of the West 2015 year with men’s health expos across the western suburbs. Sons of the West (SOTW) ambassador Tony Liberatore said the program, launched last year, was designed to tackle worrying health standards of men living and working in the west. “Men in our community have some of the poorest health levels in the state of Victoria,” said Liberatore, a Bulldogs Brownlow medallist. “The Bulldogs want to chip away at these figures by providing a free and fun way of doing a bit of exercise, learning a bit about your health and meeting a few blokes from their local areas.” Men who attend the expos will be given an opportunity to get a free health check and register for the 2015 program. And those who register will receive a free three-game Western Bulldogs membership and a free showbag stocked with all sorts of goodies. SOTW ambassadors, program partners such as BeyondBlue, Melton council representatives and men who took part last year will be there on the day. The $1.2 million men’s health initiative, developed in alliance with English soccer club Liverpool, was launched last year and took the west by storm. The expo will be from 10am-noon on Saturday, March 7, at the Quest Apartments, 234 Caroline Springs Boulevard, Caroline Springs. Sumeyya Ilanbey

WAS YOUR LAST EYE TEST 2 YEARS AGO?

OPSM8811 1014

The Pub Clinic is back in town, giving men across Moorabool the chance to have their beer and see a doctor, too. Bacchus Marsh doctor Ravin Sadhai will hold his popular Pub Clinic in Myrniong this month in a bid to reach out to men on important health issues. Dr Sadhai started the once-a-year clinics after two men he knew died suddenly in their mid 40s from stroke or heart attack. “On reviewing their medical records at my clinic I found they never really came in, and they were largely preventable deaths,” he said. “It got me thinking how we could engage men in health. So rather than getting them to the clinic, we thought we’d go to them and what better place to do that than the pub?” The Pub Clinics have come a long way since launching in 2008. More than 150 men attended last year’s two sessions, in Myrniong and Trentham. This year’s, at Myrniong’s Plough Hotel, will be based on “how not to get diabetes and bowel cancer”. It will include presentations by specialist doctors, a dietitian and personal trainers, who volunteer their time. As well, nurses will take blood pressure and weight and height measurements. Dr Sadhai says the free event will also include free beer and food thanks to a number of community sponsors. “It’s an important initiative to get men to think about preventative health,” he said. “We’re trying to prevent medical issues before they happen.” The Pub Clinic will be held from 6.30pm on Wednesday, March 18.

‘I’m sorry’ robber goes to jail By Sumeyya Ilanbey An armed robber who threatened two Melton IGA employees and stole $800 had mental health issues and a drug addiction, the County Court has heard. Paul Cook was sentenced to three-and-a-half years’ jail on February 16 for an armed robbery last August. He was arrested about a month after the robbery and pleaded guilty but told police he did not remember the incident. The 35-year-old pointed a knife at a male employee’s stomach before climbing over the

counter and threatening a female employee, the court was told. He apologised to both and told them he had a “really bad drug problem”. In a victim impact statement read to the court, the male victim said he had “nightmares and daily recollections of a very frightening event”. “Of particular relevance is that you have clear mental health issues,” Judge John Jordan told Cook. “You have suffered permanent brain injuries since at least 2009 following major seizures affecting cognition.” A 2010 neurology report outlined Cook’s

“problems with planning and daily living as a result of organic brain disorder”. A 2011 neuropsychology report said he had cognitive deficits because of temporal lobe seizures, and a 2015 psychiatrist’s report outlined a “compounding” interaction between his drug of dependence and existing cerebral deficits. The court also heard Cook grew up in a violent household and was exposed to a life of drugs and crime by his father in his early teens. “Growing up, you lived at something like 30 different addresses,” Judge Jordan said. “Substance abuse commenced in early teen

years and spiralled from there to be out of control by your mid-20s.” Judge Jordan said Cook’s brain injury impacted his “moral culpability” and, therefore, “some mercy should be shown to you in spite of the seriousness of the offence”. “I hold out some hope for your rehabilitation,” he said. “In spite of what I have said about your brain damage, the community cannot and will not tolerate offending which so seriously compromises a person’s right to feel safe working in a suburban retail shop.” Cook will be eligible for parole in two-and-a-half years.

Gym club bounces back Darley’s Acrofun Gymnastics has somersaulted to new heights, scoring the Gymnastics Victoria ‘small club of the year’ award for 2014. The club was nominated following its recovery from almost being closed down last year to running a successful term four program. Club president Bree Mort said the gym’s nomination was based solely on the work achieved in the last term of 2014. When Acrofun almost closed, the parents of the group stepped in to create a new non-profit club. They formed a committee and started the transition from a commercially operated business to a committee-run club. The club’s nomination statement praised the teamwork of the parents for delivering the transition “without disrupting classes or staff arrangements”. “To win this award after such a short period of time operating as a not-for-profit community

club is a testament to the volunteer committee, our coaching staff, gymnasts and families who are all an integral part of our club,” Ms Mort said. “We’re extremely proud and believe that if we can achieve this after just one term of operations we’re in a strong position to continue to grow and prosper.” Acrofun runs classes for both recreation and competition purposes, and they are for children as young as three. “Gymnastics is a sport that can improve overall fitness, strength, balance and body control as well as help to improve children’s performance in other sports,” Ms Mort said. The club is also looking for sponsorship. For more information or to try a free class call 4367 7011. Yasemin Talat

Pets need ’chips and safe haven By Sumeyya Ilanbey A Caroline Springs veterinary behaviourist is urging pet owners to get their pets microchipped, keep the details up to date and create safe havens for their cats and dogs. Marika Ley said pets often roamed the streets after fireworks shows or storms – and even though most were reunited with their owners, some were not. “Dogs and cats – and dogs tend to be the ones that escape and roam the streets – are extremely sensitive to sound and hear it in much more

detail than we can,” Ms Ley said. “It’s a natural part of a dog’s behaviour to be afraid of storms, but it can extend to the point where … they can start having the fear response for hours after the event.” She urged pet owners to create safe havens in their homes for the animals in the event of “noisy events”. “What we recommend to our clients is to create safe areas where [their] pets can retreat to feel comfortable,” she said. There has been an increase in the number of animals being brought to the Caroline Springs

Veterinary Hospital because of storms and fireworks. Although most pets brought to the clinic have been microchipped and their details are up to date, there are many without chips or with incorrect details. Ms Ley stressed the importance of

microchipping, adding it could be the difference between reuniting pets with their owners or having them sent to a pound. “Those animals that are not microchipped have less chance of being reunited with their owners,” Ms Ley said. “And they’re the animals that often have to spend weeks in a pound waiting to have their owners come forth.” She advised pet owners to see their local vet for behavioural advice. For the Caroline Springs Veterinary Hospital, call 8390 2266.

Cat care at a discount A western suburbs-based animal rescuer has offered to desex cats at a discounted price for low-income earners. Western Suburbs Cat and Kitten Rescue founder Nathan Miles will extend a helping hand to cat owners to help ease Melton’s stray cat problem. “We want to promote responsible ownership and the benefits of desexing your pets,” Mr Miles said. “Desexing will help your cat live a longer and healthier life. [And it] prevents cats from getting some types of cancer.” Mr Miles said it was important that all cat owners, regardless of financial circumstances, were given the chance to have their pets desexed. Cat and Kitten Rescue desexed more than 600 cats last year. A desexed cat lives for about 15 years, compared with only three for a non-desexed cat, Mr Miles said.

“Desexing will help your cat live a longer and healthier happier life,” he said. “[It] reduces a cat’s desire to roam and therefore their risk of being hit by cars or involved in fights.” Melton pet owners must desex their cats and are only allowed two cats per property. Feral and domestic cats are banned in Eynesbury to protect wildlife. To be eligible for the discounted price, owners must present a low-income health-care card to Mr Miles, who can be contacted on 0400 988 931. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Digging up the old times By Yasemin Talat The Young Farmers of Bacchus Marsh and beyond are getting ready for a reunion. Former members of the Victorian Young Farmers are planning the meeting for all ‘central area’ members from up to, and including, the 1970s. The central area includes Bacchus Marsh, Werribee, Geelong, Sunbury and Kilmore. Former president of the movement’s Melbourne branch Bob MacDonald said the reunion was a great chance to catch up and reflect on the lessons learned from being a Young Farmer. “There are people who haven’t seen each

other in 40 years,” Mr MacDonald said. “It’s a chance to renew old acquaintances.” He said young farmers’ clubs were prominent in schools before World War II. Independent clubs started to pop up for school-leavers after the war and at one stage there were more than 200 of them. The clubs had three main aims: personal development, agriculture and culture. Mr MacDonald first joined Young Farmers in East Gippsland when he was 14. “Being members was very valuable to all of us in terms of our future life,” Mr MacDonald said. “I learnt a lot about debating, meeting procedures, public speaking and organising activities.”

Mr MacDonald said a lot of former Young Farmers went on to be leaders in their local and wider communities, including in council and parliament. “[They were] very good breeding grounds for people to support their communities,” he said. Mr MacDonald himself went on to work for the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria. The Young Farmers reunion will be held at the Bacchus Marsh Golf Club bistro from 11am on Sunday, March 29.

Two display homes in Rowling Street, Plumpton, have been burgled. Furniture, artwork and ornaments were stolen some time on Friday or Saturday, February 20-21. Detective Sergeant Rob Henley, of the Melton crime investigation unit, said display homes and construction sites were being targeted often. “We’re asking residents who live near display homes to report any suspicious activity,” Detective Sergeant Henley said. “Usually when furniture and artworks are stolen, you expect there to be more than one person, but we don’t know for sure.” Police are also on the hunt for two male offenders believed to be responsible for at least three burglaries in Caroline Springs between February 19 and 21. It is believed they were driving a dark grey or black dual-cab utility. One is described as in his mid-20s, Caucasian, 170 centimetres tall, of medium build and with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a red top with white writing, blue shorts and runners. The other is believed to be in his early 30s, of southern European appearance, 180 centimetres tall, of slim build and with black hair. He was last seen wearing a black top with white writing and black tracksuit pants with white stripes. Anyone with information can contact CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000. Sumeyya Ilanbey

A Melton couple is pleading with the public to help find their stolen solar power inverter. The light-blue inverter was stolen from the Hewson Street home of Peter Chalmers about 3am on Monday, February 23. “My wife woke up to a noise and the dog next door was barking,” Mr Chalmers said. “She got up but couldn’t get a clear view as the blinds were down because it was really hot outside.” The Synergy inverter, which costs between $500 and $800, is 35 centimetres by 30 centimetres by 10 centimetres. Mr Chalmers asked anyone with information to contact the police. “[The inverter] takes the electricity from the solar panel and puts it into the electrical system,” Mr Chalmers said. “And if you’re not using the electricity, it sends it out into the lines so it’s not just an advantage for us; it’s an advantage for other people as well.” Mr Chalmers said the thief removed the inverter by cutting its wires, “which was a very dangerous thing to do”. The inverter, which was in the front yard, weighs about 15 kilograms and is of no use to anyone unless it’s mounted onto the wall with its own brackets. The Chalmers’ stolen inverter was new, as their other two broke down a couple of weeks ago. Anyone with information is urged to contact Melton police on 9747 7999.

Multiple Birth Awareness Week will be celebrated in Melton next week, helping to raise the profile of clubs like Melton Multiples Inc. The group was launched last year to provide support for families with multiple births, including twins and triplets. Club president Connie Sonerson, the mother of twins Ruby and Rose, says the group is important for families with multiples, giving them access to support and advice from people who have been through similar experiences. “It’s a really good support system to be able to get out there and talk to other mums with twins who understand what you’re going through,” she said. Ms Sonerson says parents with multiples know what it feels like to juggle more than one baby, and members step in to help when they can. “You always need support when you have more than one [child] because you only have two hands and sometimes you need both for just the one child.” Ms Sonerson says the multiples support group differs from traditional mothers’ groups because all the parents are experiencing the same struggles. “It’s a totally different world, from one to two [babies],” Ms Sonerson said. “It’s a different way of thinking for mums.” She says being a parent to twins means double everything, but most importantly “double the love and double the cuddles”. This year’s theme for the Australian Multiple Birth Association’s Multiple Birth Awareness Week (March 8-15) is “TEAM: Together, Everyone Achieves More”.

From the Marsh to the desert By Damien Strangio One hundred years ago, Australia’s first group of soldiers departed for what they thought was a European war against Germany. Instead, those initial convoys were diverted by history – the decision of Turkey to join the war and Winston Churchill’s obsession with a first strike against the Turks. As a result, tens of thousands of eager Diggers landed in Egypt, ready to fight. Infantry, Light Horsemen and almost 8000 horses (“walers”, a unique horse perfect for battle) arrived in Egypt from December, 1914, after long and difficult journeys via Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Ten miles from Cairo, in the shadows of the Pyramids, 50,000 men began training. They soon became aware of Turkey’s involvement in the war. The Mena campsite outside Cairo was renowned for its filthy water supply. Training involved terrible heat, thirst and sand during the day and bitter cold at night. In early April, 1915, Australian soldiers in Egypt learned they were about to go to war. Soon after the Gallipoli landings it became obvious that the Light Horse could not operate in that steep territory. Within days, 1000 Light Horse volunteers were called for as reinforcements; the response was overwhelming. Fifty men were ordered to stay behind with the horses; 30 men slipped aboard transport ships bound for Gallipoli to be with their mates. They were not penalised. Men from our area volunteered and served. One example was Charles Rupert Edwards, who enlisted in August, 1914, at age 22, the first of three brothers from Bacchus Marsh to serve in WW1. In a letter published in the Bacchus Marsh Express on January 30, 1915, he said of the

Mena camp: “Cairo and all round is full of soldiers … we were all over the Pyramids … we have seen nearly all the Marsh fellows here now.” One of those Marsh fellows was “Bill” Vallence, who had recovered after a hospital stay with pneumonia. In an interview in 2013 by Bacchus Marsh filmmaker Steve Tandy, Charles’ son, Noel, described his father’s experiences with the 4th Light Horsemen at Gallipoli. Noel described his father’s story of the walers “stampeding” in Egypt as the Light Horsemen landed at Gallipoli. He also related the story of a Turkish

sniper targeting himself and Bacchus Marsh mates Colin Todd and Bill McKenzie. They watched as the Turk ran out of ammunition and climbed from his position. There was “no way” they were going to shoot back. To their distress, the Turk threw himself into the Dardanelles and drowned. Charles Edwards survived Gallipoli and fought on in France. He was joined there by two Edwards brothers who had enlisted in 1915. Roy was 27, and William was 21. All survived the war. Charles met his wife, Violet May Lindsay,

at a gathering in Bacchus Marsh for returned Diggers. Before his return to Australia she had participated in the planting of the Avenue of Honour on August 10, 1918. Their son, Noel, lives in Bacchus Marsh and their grand-son, David, is a Moorabool councillor.

JOHN GALEA AND JOE CASSAR

Revved up for family fun By Sumeyya Ilanbey A stellar line-up of pre-1980s muscle cars, custom bikes, cracker entertainment and dude food has been lined up for the second Westside Muscle Cruisers show. Organiser David Grech said last year’s event was a hit. “It’s a family event,” Mr Grech said. “About 80 per cent of the people here last year came as a family. “The long-term [goal] is to raise money for

local kids’ charities justto give them a hand.” A Country Fire Authority team will promote fire safety, while those who are feeling ravenous can head over to the Mr Burger van. “This event is targeting western suburbs motoring enthusiasts who get together, show off their vehicles and talk about what’s involved in building and maintaining these cars and bikes,” Mr Grech said. “It’s also about using these particular types of vehicles to send the message of public safety on our roads.” Caroline Springs Autobarn is sponsoring the

show and has supplied products to give away. “I get my inspiration to organise these events from owning a 1967 Pontiac Firebird,” Mr Grech said. “I regularly attend other meetings, but there’s nothing else close by like this that’s family friendly and supports local businesses and charities.” The show will run from 6-9pm on Saturday, March 14, at the Caroline Springs library carpark off The Parade, Caroline Springs. For more information, call Mr Grech on 0490 012 747.

Two women in a car that rolled on an unsealed Rockbank road have escaped unscathed. The Mitsubishi Magna overturned after running off Beattys Road last week. Nearby householders rushed to help the women, both in their 20s, but were surprised to see them leaving the car through a shattered rear window. “The front door was crushed” Beattys Road resident Tom Pandza said. “I’m amazed they weren’t seriously hurt.” He said at least one driver a month went off Beattys Road. “A lot of people lose control but end up in positions where they can continue driving,” he said. “But [my neighbours] have had fences broken and their cows have got out.” Residents are concerned they may see more accidents if the road is left unsealed and the speed limit left at 80km/h. But Melton council has ruled against sealing Beattys and Mt Cottrell roads, saying they are in an urban growth corridor and won’t exist when development occurs. 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

Insufficient space will never be a consideration with this large house on the prairie. The block of about 0.9 hectares offers wide open spaces and couples with a homestead-style residence done in a contemporary style with high ceilings and polished floorboards. All five bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes and are serviced by a large bathroom with dual-basin vanity unit; the main has its own en suite. The kitchen has a stainless-steel dishwasher and 900mm gas cooker under a canopy rangehood. Floorboards flow through the family-meals area and large living zone – the epitome of open plan living. Extra features include ducted heating and cooling. The front verandah has impressive views of Bacchus Marsh valley, and an enclosed deck area at the back offers more entertainment/relaxation options. The property is a surprisingly short drive from the town centre, Woodgrove shopping centre, train station and schools.

In one of the west’s most exciting new communities set in beautiful rural surrounds, this house is central to all the amenities Eynesbury offers. Entry into the foyer reveals a contemporary colour palette, tied together with quality carpets and tiled floors. A study and the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite adjoin the foyer, which eventually opens up into an impressive family-meals area. The kitchen has all the mod-cons: walk-in pantry, stone benchtops, stainless-steel dishwasher, 900mm cooker and canopy rangehood. A rumpus room and main bathroom with dual-basin vanity unit are at the rear, as are the remaining three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. A plethora of additional features include gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling, alarm system, high ceilings and NBN access. The backyard is fully landscaped and there are two alfresco areas and rear verandah. Designed to impress, the property is sure to have many admirers.

On about 0.4 hectares in sought-after Killarney estate, this is a house that will impress families looking for loads of space, inside and out. Sparkly as new, the house has four bedrooms, the main with walk-in robe and en suite with a vanity unit with lots of bench and storage. A large, beige-carpeted lounge room has a bay window with colonial panes (found throughout) dressed in quality holland blinds, and a recessed feature wall in burgundy. The big family meals area also has a bay window and a kitchen with an island bench, chocolate-toned cabinetry, off-white benchtops, a butler’s pantry and 900mm stainless-steel cooker under a canopy rangehood. Features include evaporative cooling, ducted heating and a remote-controlled double garage with internal access. And surrounding land is a blank canvas for creative and/or practical additions.

With only one previous owner, this house on about 744 square metres delivers great liveability in a family-friendly spot close to schools, shops and transport. Big windows let in plenty of light to the spacious L-shaped lounge room at the front, and a large family-meals area adjoins the kitchen with dishwasher, stainless-steel wall oven and gas cooktop; the tiled splashback, stone benchtops and breakfast bar add to the appeal. The nearby rumpus room provides valuable extra spread-out space. Two of the three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, while the main has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. Additional features are ceiling fans, ducted heating and split-system. The extensive backyard has a large, covered entertainment area and established gardens. The property is a short walk from parks and schools, and Woodgrove shopping centre is a short drive away.

KURUNJANG 1921 Gisborne-Melton Road, 3337 Ray White: 9732 0000

Price: $969,000

For those who value the Federation style, this house of about 40 squares is pretty much an ode to the era from top to bottom. Box bay windows, stepped and painted cornices, wooden dado walls, high ceilings, leadlight panels and brass light switches are all on gracious display, as are Tassy oak floorboards and rich Axminster carpet in a rosy floral pattern. Well screened from the road, the property of about 0.6 hectares is tailor-made for tradies or hobbyists with huge sealed parking areas and an 18x12-metre Colorbond five-bay shed with sink, toilet and shower. Gardens are amazingly neat with one centreing a circular driveway,

Private sale and others trimmed and presented to perfection. Flanking the entry hall are a study (or fourth bedroom), a lounge-dining room with a cast iron gas log fire with period-style surround, and the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, en suite with spa and bidet, and a door to a side deck – perfect for morning cuppa over the newspaper. At hall’s end, and also through bevelled-pane doors from the lounge room, is the living hub with a wood heater generating a cosiness come wintertime. Tassie oak cupboards and drawers with brass knobs line the kitchen which has a servery/breakfast bench, appliance nook,

dishwasher and Technika wall oven and cooktop in period-style black and brass. Two more bedrooms, a powder room and laundry with large walk-in linen closet are along a tiled hallway which has a glass door to the outdoor relaxation zone. Also here is the main bathroom which has period styling including a clawfoot bath, era-friendly timber vanity unit and a burgundy and cream colour palette. Out back, there’s a large, gabled pergola above tiles; near fully enclosed and with TV connection, it’s a great all-seasons gathering point and provides access to the double garage. A separate, lawned yard rimmed with

pittosporums is right at the back; it has two water tanks which feed an irrigation system, and enough space to let imagination take flight. At the left of the entry driveway, tucked under tall gum trees and further beautified with agapanthus, is a mulched sitting area – an appealing summertime retreat in which to relax and soak up the peace. This beautifully put-together property also has ducting heating, cooling and vacuum and ceiling fans – and is a tempting one for a family looking for class, space galore and a location that puts everything within easy reach.

TECH TALK MELTON.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

It’s music to your ears By Rod Easdown I love testing headphones. I can spend hours pretending to be hard at work while I’m listening to my favourite music, and headphones are small and light enough to send safely through the post so there’s no waiting around for couriers. And so I reach the first unusual thing about these Oppos; they’ve arrived in a box nudging a cubic metre and weighing as much as a dozen bottles of red. Most of the space is taken up by the HA1 amplifier that is six kilograms and costs $1799, both impressive numbers, and the packaging is such that, should nuclear war erupt between order and delivery, the box will likely arrive intact. The PM1 headphones ($1699) can operate independently of the HA1 amplifier but, given the technology in the amplifier, especially the digital to analogue converter (DAC), I suspect they’ll always be short-changed by anything else. And the way the amplifier handles big musical transients, like the thump halfway through the Firebird Suite, Suite is sensational. Open the PM1 box and one finds … another box. But it’s beautiful. All laminated wood and gold clasps with the headphones nestling in a bed of velour. I’m already weak at the knees and I haven’t plugged anything in yet. So I rig up the best CD player I own, feeding an optical signal into the HA1, which means all those little ones and zeroes will avoid the DAC in the CD player, to be turned into beautiful analogue music for my demonstrably analogue

Above: PM1 headphones Below: HA1 amplifier

ears by the vastly superior one in the Oppo. I put on an old Supertramp track, the slowly gathering Fool’s Overture from Even in the Quietest Moments, and suddenly I’m going all goosebumpy. It’s exciting, breathtaking, involving – just like the very first time I heard it. I follow that with some hard-driving techno punk that probably took an hour to record and three months to produce and I’m stunned that the bass line, moving blindingly fast and deep, can stay so accurately defined. Rebecca Pidgeon is up so close and personal I can see her lips moving, Miles Davis is alive

again, I crank Gypsy & The Cat so loud I can visualise the neighbours banging at the door were these not headphones. I’m almost too scared to put on the wonderful Dawn Upshaw and Górecki’s Third, the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. But not quite. I turn out all the lights and lie on my back and let it rip, and I feel the pain of a sorely oppressed people resigned to their fate, every lingering nuance of it. I feel it so keenly I am almost moved to tears. Now the Oppo folk want their stuff back and I am moved to tears.

guy to have a look and he picked it up straight away,” Clifford said. “We cable tied it back so it wasn’t against the exhaust and it fixed the issue. “I had two DNFs in my heat races, but I won a feature race on the Saturday and then on Sunday I came from the rear of the field to win the main feature.-“Once we sorted the issues it was very fast.” Clifford, who works for irrigation solutions company Netafim in Laverton, has big plans for 2015. His sights are set on competing at the All

Power Nationals in Mildura and the Australian titles to be held at Waikerie. “I’m hoping to run maybe top 10 or top 15 at the Aussie titles and All Powers,” he said. “I’d be stoked with that being my first season. “I have purchased some equipment and done some modifications to get me a bit faster and since making some of those changes, I’m getting quicker and quicker every time I hit the track. “I’m not putting hopes on wins and podiums at the bigger race events, but I’m just aiming to do the best that I can every time I hit the track.”

Golf goes up a class (Kristian Scott)

Seabrook’s Corey Clifford had long admired the skill of speedway kart drivers before deciding to don the racing gear. For 15 years, he was drawn to the track as a spectator, eyes fixed on the action and heart pumping as the karts whirred past. It was not until he moved to Melbourne from South Australia for work three years ago that he ramped up his interest and went from a fan to a competitor. “It was always something that I wanted to get into and then I came across the Melbourne Speedway Kart Club Facebook page,” he said, telling Star Weekly the majority of race meetings took place at a Bacchus Marsh track. “I made a decision to get in contact with them and find out a little bit about the sport and what the costs could be to get into the sport through club president Michael Van Ginneken.” Clifford bought a go kart, converted it for dirt tracks and the dream was alive. The 25-year-old has taken to competitive racing like a duck to water in his first season. The rookie hit speeds of up to 90km/h en route to victory at the Nagambie 55 Lap Gold Rush last month. “That was my first feature win,” he said enthusiastically. “I put the finger up across the finish line and I was pretty pumped. “We didn’t have a large field of karts but the racing was still really competitive and I think the spectators got a good show.” It was not all plain sailing for Clifford across the weekend. If not for the mechanical nous of other people at his club, he might not have made it on to the start line. Clifford’s kart was not getting the full spark due to an issue in the engine and it was discovered that a spark plug lead had melted and was short-circuiting the motor. “I wasn’t sure what it was so I got another

Top-class golf was on the agenda at Eynesbury Golf Club’s pro-am last week. A field of more than 60 professionals, including Brad Alton (pictured), competed for $11,000 prizemoney. The tournament was won by David Bransdon who shot a six-under-par 66. Local hope Josh Younger finished in a tie for seventh.

Star all-rounder Ricky Suvada is leading Deer Park’s assault on Turf Cricket’s finals series. Under first-year coach Glenn Sullivan, the Lions have been in the west B1 top four all season and will play Barkly Street Uniting in a semi-final this week. Suvada, who bats in the middle order and opens the bowling, has been arguably the most damaging player in the division with 37 wickets at an average of 11.5, while amassing 426 runs. Deer Park president Steve Krstevski is full of praise for Suvada. “He’s a Deer Park junior and has been with us right the way through,” Krstevski said. “He has had offers to play for other clubs all through his career, but he’s stayed at Deer Park. He won two competition medals in the [Williamstown District Cricket Association] and is right on track to win one in the VTCA. “He never misses a training session and is a great influence around the club. In 10 years, when we look back on it and what he has done, he will be a legend of the club.” The Lions won their first seven matches with Suvada’s dominance helping establish them as one of the teams to beat. Despite losing four games since then, Krstevski says the playing group is determined to ensure the positive start didn’t go to waste by winning at least one final. “We won’t just be making up the numbers in finals,” he said. “We feel we can make the grand final. “Anything apart from that will probably be a disappointment after winning those first seven games. We just want to climb the ranks and get this club to the highest level possible.” There isn’t much separating Deer Park from Barkly Street Uniting. The two sides have met twice this season for a win each, and only 0.6 separates them on the ladder. Deer Park finished seventh and won just four games last season, but Krstevski says the signing of some key players in the pre-season has made a great difference. “We brought in Glenn Sullivan, Shane Jones and Luke Graves. “All three have been terrific and there’s a lot of confidence around the group at the moment. “At the start of the year we had 60 senior players on the track; we were inundated. “There’s a terrific feeling at the club at the moment.” Liam Twomey 55 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ MARCH 3, 2015

SPORT MELTON.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Melton’s grand dreams unravel By Liam Twomey Melton’s quest for a Bowls Victoria metropolitan premiership came to an end on Saturday with an 80-66 defeat in the division 1 semi-finals at the hands of Werribee. Melton struggled early, falling behind by 16 shots after eight ends. On their home turf, the Bees were always going to fight hard to keep the lead. They continued to apply the pressure, holding out their western suburbs rivals for the rest of the match to progress to the grand final. Melton Bowls Club secretary John Adams said coming back from the early deficit was a big ask. “The opposition did play extremely well,” he said. “It was their home ground and that’s why they jumped us early. They have been practising on the carpet all week, which is a different surface to what we have. “Our players took two or three ends to pick it up, and that’s when they got the 16-shot break. That’s virtually what they beat us by; we were just sort of chasing our tails.” As the afternoon tea break approached, Melton did rally, closing the gap to seven shots and giving itself a chance in the second half. But Werribee stood firm, regrouping to extend the lead. Despite the semi-final loss, Adams said his club would be taking a lot of positives out of the season. As well as the division 1 side making the finals, Melton’s other three teams all avoided relegation.

“We’ve been in metro for four years now after coming from the Central Highlands bowls competition,” Adams said. “All our sides have gone up two divisions and our top division side was only 14 shots away from playing off for the section grand final. “It was a very good effort for a small club, compared to some of these bigger clubs. “We’re really fighting above our weight division; we’re more than holding our own. The whole club can be very proud of what’s happened.” With its pennant competition aspirations ended, Melton is already turning its attention to next season. Adams believes the club is only a couple of quality players away from being able to take the next step. “We need to get two or three top-class players,” he said. “That will help us get to that next level. We did get found out a bit against Werribee. “If we can get those two or three extra players, our other players can go down a position or two and it will strengthen the whole club. That would really help the club next season.”

Cobras strike and join the rush to women’s footy women’s team at Bacchus Marsh. A few people were interested in getting it off the ground and, with the help of some club members, it’s happened.” It didn’t take long for an eager playing group to get in on the act and the club held its first training sessions in the lead-up to Christmas. After a formal meeting with VWFL co-ordinator Darren Flanigan, the Cobras were officially given a green light for the 2015 season. “Once we knew it was going to happen the girls started training straight away,” Bertram said. “We also started sending out flyers and that sort of thing around Bacchus Marsh and

anywhere else we thought would be effective to get players. “Quite a few girls have never played before and are still learning.” Bacchus Marsh’s squad has now grown to 25 players and the club hopes to sign up more before the season starts in April. “Hopefully, we can taste some success,” Bertram says. “Women’s football is one of the fastest-growing sports, and we invite anyone to come along and try out regardless of age, ability or experience.” For more information email Rod Bertram on rbertram7@bigpond.com.

Lions stalk top spot By Liam Twomey Melton is within striking distance of top spot on the Sub District cricket ladder with just one home-and-away match to go. The Lions completed a first-innings defeat of fellow north-west premiership contender Plenty Valley on Saturday to close the gap between them and Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows. Melton is third on the table on 51 points, four behind ladder-leading Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows and level with Plenty Valley and Yarraville. The Lions set up their latest victory on day one of the clash at MacPherson Park, dismissing Plenty Valley for an uncharacteristically meagre 61. Melton had no trouble reaching the target, bringing up the win for the loss of seven wickets. With the potential of an outright victory on offer, the Lions declared their first innings with a lead of 17. Searching for quick wickets, the Melton bowlers delivered, dismissing Plenty Valley opener Kamalesh Murugsan for just three. But the Bats’ middle order was intent on ensuring there would be no repeat of its first-innings collapse. The combination of Sean Ayres, Michael Sheedy, Andrew Bennett and Matthew Hunter combined for 136 second-innings runs to snuff out any chance of a Melton outright. The round 12 results have made an already tight VSDCA ladder even more congested. While there isn’t much separating Melton, Plenty Valley and Yarraville, Altona is also right in the mix, only another three points behind in fifth place. Werribee and Balwyn are fighting over the last of the six finals places. In the season’s final round this weekend, Melton will take on seventh-placed Balwyn. Elsewhere last weekend, Altona was unable to complete an outright win against Sunshine at Dempster Park. The A’s dominated day one of the match, dismissing Sunshine for just 38 in its first innings. That target was quickly chased down, with Altona declaring at stumps with a 64-run lead. The Crows made a much better effort with the bat the second time around to prevent outright defeat. Led by a brilliant 85 from Sam Magnano and 57 from Troy Stone, Sunshine battled to 6-189 by the close. Also in round 12, Yarraville (125 and 5-53) got the better of Williamstown (62); Kew (8-300) defeated Coburg (206); Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows (8-259) was too good for Werribee (220); and Brunswick (7-280) beat Ivanhoe (9-277).

Footscray Edgewater has missed out on a place in the Premier Cricket finals series after a final-round draw against Prahran. Needing a win to book their place in the finals, the Bulldogs looked to be in the box seat after smashing 7-429 in their first innings. That position became even stronger when Prahran slumped to 5-35 in its run chase. But Prahran knuckled down to bat out its 103 overs for the loss of nine wickets. The effort was good enough to secure the draw and bring an end to Footscray’s premiership defence.

Sydenham Hillside was unable to defend its massive first innings total against Buckley Park in North West Metropolitan Cricket Association on Saturday. After making 235 on day one of its final-round contest, Sydenham Hillside returned to Buckley Park hunting quick wickets but was met with stiff opposition. Eight of the 10 Buckley Park batsmen used made it to double figures, Robbie Bullock top-scoring with 57. Buckley Park reached the total for the loss of eight wickets. Sydenham Hillside takes on Kealba Green Gully in the semi-finals this weekend.

BCA

Darley’s struggles with the bat in the Ballarat Cricket Association continued on Saturday. After being sent in by Brown Hill, the Lions scored 65. Brown Hill had no trouble chasing the small target, nailing the win for the loss of two wickets before setting about building a lead. Thanks to a brilliant 134 from Shane Harwood, it reached 7-295 at stumps. Brown Hill will take a 230-run lead into day two this week.

Bacchus Marsh has joined the women’s football revolution. The Cobras are the latest club to enter a senior team in the Victorian Women’s Football League this season. They’ll compete in a western division against the likes of Manor Lakes, Melton, Jacana and Kyneton. After enjoying great support through the club’s youth girls program, Bacchus Marsh women’s football co-ordinator Rod Bertram says a senior team is the next logical step. “The cut-off for the youth girls competition is 18, so once they turn 18 they can’t play,” he said. “A few of the girls wanted to keep playing and their options were limited. We said that if we had enough interest we’d try to create a
