Cooking with the stars

(Shawn Smits)

Hospitality worker Sarah Griffiths leaves Ballan later this month for the Barossa Valley, where she’ll learn from one of her culinary heroes.

She has earned a scholarship to the Creating an Appetite For Life education program, a three-day interactive course with celebrity cook Maggie Beer.

“I was at work when I got the call that I had the scholarship and I was in disbelief,” Ms Griffiths said. “I’m very excited. I love Maggie Beer.”

Ms Griffiths has toiled in hospitality for 15 years but recently started working in the kitchen at Ballan Community Health’s aged-care hospital.

She’s one of 30 chefs and cooks from aged-care centres in Victoria selected to attend the event, where those on the front line of the industry will discuss ideas and challenges.

“Working in aged care is different from where I’ve worked in the past, but I really enjoy it,” Ms Griffiths said. “I’m keen to learn more about cooking and presenting food in creative ways for our [residents].”

The program, run by the Maggie Beer Foundation, will have participants sharing a dinner at Ms Beer’s home and rolling up their sleeves for hands-on cooking sessions with HammondCare executive chef Peter Morgan Jones and Ms Beer’s co-host on the TV program The Cook and the Chef Chef, Simon Bryant.

Man shot in road rage

By Esther Lauaki A road rage incident at Bacchus Marsh last Sunday left one man with a gunshot wound to his leg and another with lacerations to his face.

The two victims were on their way to visit family in Ballan and had two children in the car, aged three and six.

It is alleged their car was tailgated along the Western Freeway by the driver of a silver 2002 Holden Commodore, who overtook their vehicle and started braking and swerving in front of them in an attempt to run them off

the road. It is the latest in a spate of road rage incidents in Melbourne’s west in recent weeks.

Detective Sergeant Warren Chapman of the armed crimes unit, said police were investigating the circumstances of this latest incident, which occurred near Condons Lane at Bacchus Marsh about 4pm.

“The victims followed the driver of the Holden down a dead-end street. The two men and the other driver have stepped out of their cars, where an altercation has occurred and the male driver of the Holden has presented a pistol.

“He’s then allegedly pistol-whipped one of the victims and shot the other in the leg.”

The male aggressor is aged in his late 30s to mid 40s, about 183 centimetres tall, with olive skin and “salt and pepper”-coloured hair.

The two victims were driven by a family member to the Ballan hospital about 5pm before being transferred to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. One of the victims remained in hospital and was in a stable condition at the time Star Weekly went to print.

Melton’s Acting Senior Sergeant Chris Stuhdreier said that in incidents of aggressive

road rage, drivers should never respond with more aggression.

“The best advice is not to get into any confrontation with the other driver,” he said.

“They should drive to the nearest police station or to a safe place where they remove themselves from the situation and call police.

“When two people get emotional, this is when situations like this escalate and get heated,” Sergeant Stuhdreier said.

Witnesses to this incident or anyone with information, should contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Police war on drugs gains strong public support Bacchus Marsh residents have thrown their weight behind an initiative to push drugs out of their community.

More than 200 people turned out to a drug information evening on May 25 to learn about the effects of drugs, how to approach the subject with their children and what they can do to combat the problem.

The initiative, dubbed A Way Through, was launched by Moorabool police in 2012.

It aims to educate the community on aspects of illicit drugs, particularly the high-profile

methamphetamine, otherwise known as ice.

Presentations were made by Moorabool police, addiction health workers and guest speaker Glenn Manton, a former AFL player and motivational speaker.

The mother of a recovering addict, who wished to be known only as Julie, gave an emotional account of her son’s 10-year struggle with ice.

“It’s been a long journey and it’s still going,” she said. “My son said he turned to drugs because he was bored and had nothing better to

‘‘

’’

do. He’d be good one day and lapse the next. It’s always up and down like a roller coaster, not only for him but for our family.

“Drugs are an evil thing and they seem to be weaving their way into the social lives of our young people. It’s just something that’s become

acceptable for them to do when they’re out and having fun.”

Leading Senior Constable Jim Ross said the problem of drugs did not discriminate. “Drugs is not just a youth problem,” he told the meeting.

“It’s not just a police problem. It’s a problem that affects everyone in our community”.

Leading Senior Constable Ross encouraged parents to educate themselves about the issue before they spoke to their children.

Speed limits a gravel concern

Larraine Collins and the mysterious hole in her backyard. (Kristian Scott)

Tenant’s sinking feeling

By Sumeyya Ilanbey A Melton South woman has been left bewildered by a mysterious hole in her backyard.

Larraine Collins found the 15 centimetre wide and 30 centimetre deep hole last week.

“It looked like a black thing sitting on the ground,” she said.

Ms Collins has been renting her property for more than two years and has had no similar problems.

“Everything’s been fine,” she said. “The owners come for regular check-ups and I pass with flying colours.”

And while the hole doesn’t pose too much

of a danger, Ms Collins is afraid it might get bigger.

“If someone comes in and checks it out and just fills it in, that’s all I want,” she said. “I’ve got a bowl over it so the dog doesn’t go near it.”

The home’s owner, Eleanora Faraone, took to social media last week to ask for advice.

“I just got a call from my agent for a property I rent out and she said the tenant has told her there is a sinkhole in the backyard!!!” Ms Faraone wrote. “What do I do? Need advice!”

Ms Faraone told Star Weekly: “[The agent] called me yesterday and let me know the tenant had made her aware that there was a sinkhole on the side of the yard. We both went silent.”

Western Water customer and community relations manager Graham Holt said a staff member visited the property last Wednesday. “[The staff member] found no problem with the sewer pipe and the owner has been advised it did not cause the hole,” Mr Holt said.

“We have no similar issues in the Melton area and are not aware of the sewer or water pipes causing sinkholes in our region.”

Melton council engineering services manager Les Stokes said the hole could have been caused by an issue with the drainage system.

“This is not a sinkhole as such,” he said. “It’s an indication of an issue with an underground drainage system that can be addressed.”

Melton council wants VicRoads to cut speed limits on gravel roads by up to half.

Watts ward councillor Renata Cugliari put forward a notice of motion at last week’s council meeting, calling on Roads Minister Luke Donnellan, Police Minister Wade Noonan, local MPs and VicRoads to take action to reduce speed limits from 100 km/h to 50 km/h.

Cr Cugliari said the present speed limit compromised driver safety.

“There is restricted visibility caused by dust on unsealed roads – unsealed roads have a lower level of surface friction, there is often inadequate signage … no line marking exists to delineate traffic lanes, and drivers inexperienced in driving on loose road surfaces often lack control of their vehicles when speeds are up to 100 kilometres per hour,” she said.

Cr Cugliari was supported by fellow councillors, with mayor Sophie Ramsey expanding the motion to include reducing speed limits from “100km/h to 50km/h or, at the absolute most, to 80km/h,” in case VicRoads deemed the called-for speed reduction too drastic.

“I’d hate to see it fall through,” Cr Ramsey said.

Cr Cugliari urged all drivers to slow down on unsealed roads.

“We have, within our municipality, 150 kilometres of unsealed roads. Drivers are taking shortcuts through our unsealed roads, knowing that it is a 100km/h speed limit,” she said.

VicRoads North-West Metro operations director Brad Smits said there were some circumstances where a lower speed limit could be applied to an unsealed road for safety reasons.

“Any proposal to review a speed limit is considered on a case-by-case basis,” Mr Smits said.

Building plans trimmed back

By Sumeyya Ilanbey A developer has scaled back plans to construct a six-storey building at Caroline Springs following objections from owners of neighbouring properties and the council’s urban design team.

Residents at Caesia Gardens retirement village submitted two objections, including a petition with 49 signatures, over the initial planning application, citing diminished lifestyle options and less natural light entering the village if the plan was implemented.

The council’s urban design team has since worked with the developer, Varcon Constructions, and an architect to amend the design for the Aqua Lakeside Apartments to “alleviate some residents and council officer concerns”.

“With the advent of these design changes, council officers are generally supportive of the proposal, subject to conditions,” a council report states.

At its recent meeting, Melton council gave the thumbs up for 15 ground-level commercial offices, a four-storey apartment building including two first-floor commercial offices, and a carpark with 171 spaces to be built at 9-25 Commercial Road.

It included several conditions, including that Varcon must hire a private contractor to collect commercial rubbish from the site daily while under construction and collect rubbish twice a week from the residential tenants.

A two-metre acoustic fence must be erected on the northern side abutting the retirement village and there must be security lighting along both sides of the carpark. The developer is also responsible for placing a screening on the upper floor levels to ensure the tenants cannot overlook the adjoining properties.

The council report states Varcon must install Stop Noise, a soundproofing treatment, to the retirement village units directly adjoining the site.

‘‘

Council officers are generally supportive of the - council report proposal

’’

The amended plans also include a plaza to “improve pedestrian engagement”.

“It is council policy that there is encouragement for the development and expansion of retail facilities in accordance with the adopted commercial centre hierarchy,” the report states.

“And that higher density housing opportunities be provided around existing and proposed shopping centres. The proposal is consistent with [the Local Planning Policy for Retailing].”

The site is about 500 metres from Caroline Springs Square shopping centre.

Varcon Constructions did not return Star Weekly’s calls.

Thai ties an Aussie knot Nine years have passed since Jantima Jeamvijit assured her family in Thailand she would spend a year in Australia learning English and then return.

Last week, she became an Australian citizen.

Ms Jeamvijit was in the latest group of migrants to be welcomed at Moorabool’s citizenship ceremonies on May 25.

The new citizens, from South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam, India and New Zealand, were presented with a welcome gift, a certificate and a native plant.

“I’m very happy to be an Australian citizen," Ms Jeamvijit said.

“Australia is so peaceful and it’s a beautiful country.

“I came here to learn English and I thought I could get some training and stay for one,

two, three years maximum. I got a good job and started working in a restaurant like [most migrants] and decided to train as a cook. I didn’t go back.”

Instead, she settled in Bacchus Marsh, married an Australian and now has two young Aussie-born children, Noah, 3, and Ava, 1.

“I was the only one in my family [without citizenship],” she said. “I can live peacefully with my family now I’m a citizen.”

Ms Jeamvijit said that although she was a proud Australian she would never forget her Thai heritage and hoped she could pass on the language and cultural values to her children.

For information on citizenship, call the information line: 131 880.

More pain signalled for families

By Sumeyya Ilanbey The poorest families in Melton and Moorabool stand to lose $20,000 over the next four years because of federal budget cuts.

But those who are well off will see more of their disposable incomes.

New analysis from the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling, commissioned by federal Labor, reveals Australia’s poorest families would lose about seven per cent of their disposable income over the next four years because of federal budget cuts.

“In percentage terms, the impact is clearly

felt by the lowest-income families more than high-income families,” report author Ben Phillips said.

A single parent with two children, one in primary and one in secondary school, and earning $55,000 will lose more than $20,000 over the next four years.

A couple with two children, one not yet at school and one at primary level, with a single income of $75,000 would lose only $6000 over the next four years.

“The results clearly demonstrate that lowincome families with children are the main family group to be adversely impacted by

policy changes since last election,” Mr Phillips said. “High-income families and singles, and couples without children, are shown to be largely unaffected by this budget, either in the short or longer term.”

Gorton MP Brendan O’Connor said the budget would hurt families in Melton harder than most areas of the country.

“The families who can least afford it, and there are many in Melton, are being hurt the most by this budget,” Mr O’Connor said.

“Even when the government’s new childcare measures are factored in [in 2017], families will still be left thousands of dollars worse off.”

But Social Services Minister Scott Morrison dismissed the analysis report, saying it was merely a political document from Labor.

“The government does not accept the Labor-commissioned modelling because the brief provided by Labor skewed the objective of the budget,” Mr Morrison said.

During question time last Wednesday, Mr Morrison told Federal Parliament the government wanted to see more families off the dole. “We want to see more families earning more by working more; more families that are paying more in tax than they are receiving in benefits.”

Art sprouts from Marsh Hundreds of people from all over the state are expected to visit Bacchus Marsh this weekend for the Rotary Club’s annual art show.

About 650 pieces will be on display at the Community Hall from June 5-8.

The club’s arts show committee chairman, Peter Shilton, says everything, from paintings to sculptures and cross-stitching, will be on display and up for sale.

“There was a time when Rotary clubs did it all over the country,” Mr Shilton said of art shows.

“Now it’s come down to three or four big ones and we’re one of them.”

He said it was the 45th art show in Bacchus Marsh and a lot of people were regular visitors.

“It’s all a little bit weather-dependent, though,” he said. “If the weather’s really bad, we don’t get quite so many, but we’re holding it at a nice, warm venue.”

While most of the artworks on display are created by local artists, Mr Shilton said the club received submissions from all over Australia.

“We’ve got stuff from Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australian and locally,” he said.

“You can pick up something for $650 and get value out of it for years and years. How can you place a [monetary] value on something like that?”

An art show gala will be held from 7pm on Friday, June 5, at the Community Hall in Main Street, Bacchus Marsh. Tickets are $30 and include champagne and supper.

The show continues from 10am-5pm on Saturday and Sunday, June 6-7, and from 10am-4pm on the Monday. Tickets cost $8.

Council cameras’ blind spot

By Sumeyya Ilanbey More and more local councils are using closedcircuit TV cameras for security, but most of the cameras are not monitored, a new survey has revealed.

About 220 Australian councils, including Melton, took part in the survey by the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC), which found that 57 per cent of them operated at least one CCTV camera last year.

Another 12 per cent said they had plans to install a CCTV system, while 30 per cent had no plans. In 2005, only nine per cent of councils

operated CCTV. Melton council leisure and facilities manager Adrian Burns said there were about 90 CCTV cameras in the municipality, with the potential to install more.

“Cameras are located around a number of council buildings and are used to monitor areas where council may expect facility damage or where there’s a security risk,” Mr Burns said.

“We will install cameras when new facilities are being built as required.”

Mr Burns said while the effectiveness of CCTV cameras was inconclusive, “evidence suggests CCTV can be beneficial in preventing some premeditated crimes”.

He said the security footage was not monitored live; cameras recorded to local hard drives and were reviewed if and when necessary.

The survey found an overwhelming majority of systems (61 per cent) weren’t monitored; 15 per cent were occasionally monitored in business hours and only 10 per cent were actively monitored, either during business hours or 24 hours a day.

The percentage of CCTV systems actively monitored last year was down from 25 per cent in 2005, while cameras not monitored virtually doubled, from 31 to 61 per cent.

“This finding is not particularly surprising given the resources required to monitor CCTV and the focus of major grant programs on covering installations and infrastructure costs,” the AIC report states. “A number of councils expressed concern at the cost of monitoring CCTV and the need for additional funding to cover costs associated with … systems.”

While Moorabool council did not take part in the survey, chief executive Rob Croxford said it operated CCTV cameras at several locations.

“As a council we have not formed a policy on this issue as we have no great use or high need of security cameras,” he said.

Fund ‘rescues’ firies Melton firies have received almost $3000 from a local community fund to help buy new rescue equipment.

IGA Melton raised $2641.76 through its Community Chest for the Melton Fire Station.

Senior station officer Jayson Hirt said the donation had ensured the brigade could purchase equipment to better serve the community.

He says the funds will be used to buy a number of fire-fighting items including branches [nozzles] and a new road accident rescue tool.

The brigade’s auxiliary had already raised some money to assist with the purchase of the rescue tool, which will be used to extricate victims from motor vehicle accidents.

“The donation of these funds is vital to the brigade’s ongoing service delivery to Melton

and surrounding communities,” Mr Hirt said. “New technology in firefighting sees the need to upgrade or purchase new equipment that becomes available.

“Without donations such as IGAs and other fundraising activities completed by the brigade, we would not have the capacity to deliver high standards of service in not only firefighting but also road accident rescue, hazardous materials response and other specialist rescue areas.”

As part of the IGA Community Chest fund, two cents from every product sold in the Melton store marked with the community chest logo is donated to the local community.

IGA supports the Melton brigade annually, in appreciation of the work that staff and volunteers do to serve the community.

Violence focus ‘off balance’ Preventing family violence means acknowledging it is gender-based, according to Melton council.

In its submission to the Royal Commission into Family Violence, the council states: “that unequal power relations between men and women are key determinants of violence against women and exist in broader community settings, other than family settings alone, including the workplace, sports clubs, friendship circles, places of worship.”

The submission urges a key role for local government and more investment in frontline services, in particular community legal centres, which have “strong partnerships with Victoria Police, service providers and the private sector”.

The submission went before last week’s council meeting, with community services general manager Maurie Heaney saying that domestic violence “is the leading cause of illness, death and disability” for Victorian women aged between 15 and 44 years.

Melton had the highest number of reported domestic violence incidences (1166.1 incidents per 100,000 people) in the western suburbs in the year to July, 2012.

And, according to the latest police corporate statistics, in the north-west metropolitan region, there were more than 15,000 reported domestic violence call-outs in the year to July, 2012. This accounted for 30.8 per cent of the reported domestic violence incidents for Victoria.

“[Council recommends] funding the primary prevention sector, using local government as a key setting to expand work to prevent violence against women,” the council report states.

“Gender equity is an important social justice goal. The concept recognises that within all communities, women and men have different benefits, access to power, resources and responsibilities.

‘‘

Men and women have different benefits, access to - Melton council power

’’

“Gender equity is the process of being fair to women and men by recognising diversity and disadvantage and directing resources and services.

“To create equity between men and women through respectful family relationships, power imbalances in all community settings must be addressed and achieved.”

Women who have a disability have also been identified as a priority group for preventing violence against women.

Melton council has also contributed to submissions prepared by the Municipal Association of Victoria, Preventing Violence Together Partnership (led by Women’s Health West), and the interface councils.

Submissions to the Royal Commission closed last Friday.

Ballan big on self-help Ballan’s new oncology unit is up and running, thanks to the fundraising efforts of the local community.

Day-stay patients can now attend appointments and receive treatment close to home at the new Ballan District Health Centre.

The town’s Jockey Club and Arts and Crafts Club raised $48,000 at last year’s Love is in the Air festival, a food and wine event celebrating the region’s culinary delights, to fund three state-of-the-art chemotherapy chairs and equipment for the new oncology unit.

Clinical services director Marg Daw said the unit was the key to keeping these services local.

“It’s much better for families and their loved ones to access services locally,” she said. “We want to be able to treat patients and get them home to their families quicker. As this service

grows it will be able to cater to the increasing needs of this community and surrounding communities.

“We’re in a major health corridor for residents from Ballarat to Melbourne and it’s a very fast-growing area. The need to provide a variety of quality services is very important.

“This is a fantastic community and we’re so lucky the people here really own their hospital.

“Ballan hospital has so much to offer, including the GP super clinic, acute care hospital, aged-care facility, pathology, oncology, and a health rehabilitation unit.

“This is an incredibly well-serviced town, thanks to the community being its driving force.”

Melton offers violence respite

By Esther Lauaki Melton is the only affordable Melbourne suburb for Victorian families fleeing violence and women at risk of homelessness.

The Council to Homeless Persons report compares the average weekly female wage for Victoria – $842 a week – with median weekly rents by suburb.

The report shows that Melton, a 40-minute drive north-west of Melbourne’s central business district and with a median weekly rent of $245 for a two-bedroom house, is the

only suburb considered affordable. Based on the figures, moving to the next most affordable suburbs – Werribee, Pakenham, St Albans or Sunshine, with median rents of between $270 and $280 a week – would tip working women into what the study considers “housing stress”.

The shortage of housing for families fleeing violence is an issue the Royal Commission into Family Violence will confront. The commission’s first public hearing will be on July 13.

Women’s Health West chief executive Robyn Gregory said the commission needed to

address links between family violence, housing and homelessness in Victoria.

“One of the key factors as to why women don’t leave violent relationships is the issue of where they can go when they do leave,” Dr Gregory said. “They need to go somewhere where there are good schools and public transport, and Melton might just be that place.

“There must be a coherent statewide housing policy and scheme introduced that can provide women leaving family violence with more options for safe, affordable and secure housing than currently exist.”

She said options should range from social housing to private rentals and home ownership.

“Government leadership and investment is essential here.”

Women’s Health West is one of 129 Victorian organisations that have signed a joint submission on family violence, homelessness and affordable housing that has been submitted to the royal commission.

Seal of approval needed Work on the southern extension of Halletts Way awaits the green light as Moorabool council ties up loose ends.

Design work is almost finished, money is allocated in the draft budget and the council wants the tender ready by spring.

Infrastructure general manager Phil Jeffrey said the $4.5 million allocated to the extension comprises money from the 2015-16 draft budget (which is awaiting approval), plus developer contributions, a $2.18 million federal government grant and funds already secured from a state government grant. Further funds will be needed from the council’s 2016-17 budget.

The $1.5 million northern extension of Halletts Way, which will link Ramsay Crescent and Links Road at Darley, broke ground earlier this year. It is due to be open by September, if winter construction goes well.

“This is one of the biggest infrastructure

projects undertaken by Moorabool council and, once completed, will be a vital asset to Bacchus Marsh,” Mr Jeffrey said. “The road and bridge design is 80 per cent complete … and it is on track to be completed by the end of this financial year.

“If the funding in the draft council budget is approved … we would be looking to tender the project in the spring months, with construction to start at the beginning of 2016.”

The southern extension of Halletts Way is expected to help ease congestion and ultimately create a western link at Bacchus Marsh from Griffith Street to Links Road.

“We have an alignment for this important piece of infrastructure in place now and have produced drawings and artist’s impressions to help visualise the completed project,” Mr Jeffrey said.

Data call for toxin probe Former Victorian Crown Lands Department staff claim to have been exposed to toxic chemicals, such as cyanide and Agent Orange which were used to kill off weeds and animals from 1965 to 1995.

Employees from Moorabool shire who worked for the former Lands Department have been asked to take part in an independent inquiry into the use of chemicals 24D and 245T. Written submissions and interviews are being sought until June 12. An inquiry date has not been set.

Australian Workers Union (AWU) spokeswoman Mary McNamara said the union had been in touch with dozens of former employees who said their health had suffered after being exposed to these toxic chemicals.

“Many of our members contacted us with very similar stories,” Ms McNamara said.

“There are common themes across the state regarding the chemicals that were used, the reassurances employees were given by their employers about the safety of using these chemicals, and the illnesses these employees have developed.”

She said the AWU and former staff wanted to know why safety practices were so lax.

“We have questions – every person who has contacted us has questions – and we hope to get answers through this inquiry,” Ms McNamara said.

“We need to hear from as many people as possible so we can get a clear picture.”

She said the number of people affected was still unknown.

To register for an interview, contact the hotline on 1800 987 767 or by email at register@ chemicalinquiry.vic.gov.au.

Written or electronic submissions can be sent to: Former Lands Department Chemical Inquiry, GPO Box 1925, Melbourne VIC 3001; or email: register@chemicalinquiry.vic.gov.au.

Drivers pledge safety

By Esther Lauaki

WHAT’S ON WHAT’S WHAT’S ON ON

Last Friday’s fatality-free day campaign put more safe driving pledges on record at Melton.

Council, police and emergency services joined forces with the Lions Club at the Take the Pledge event at Courthouse Amphitheatre, as part of the statewide campaign.

Many locals signed this year’s petition, pledging to spread the road safety message among family and friends and to lead by their own good examples of safe driving.

More than 50,000 road safety pledges have been signed across Australia in the two years’ since the campaign started.

Melton council road safety officer Jan Webb said making safe driving a priority is crucial to curb road fatalities.

“We hope that people will be mindful of themselves and others on the road,” Ms Webb said. “They’re [too often] blindly driving and not being mindful of safety.

Road safety is not only something we should think about one day of the year, but every day.”

Zero deaths on Australian roads was the message behind last Friday’s campaign.

During the day, child seat restraint fitting tutorials were conducted to ensure parents installed car seats correctly and safely into their vehicles. Staughton College music students performed for Melton participants and a free sausage sizzle drew in the crowds.

■ is “Getting these young people involved ■■ be ■ important so that in the future they can ■ ■ drivers as well,” Ms Webb said. good “I believe we all have a part to play in keeping our friends and families safe.”

Rate cap will stymie growth Melton council has told the Essential Services Commission it will face “significant challenges” when rate capping is introduced.

It is also opposed to using the Consumer Price Index as a benchmark to cap rates, saying it has “little relevance” to the costs incurred by local government.

TOTAL At last week’s council meeting a report VALUE TOTAL on the council’s submission highlighted VALUE $196 the risks of rate capping, including $196 operating with deficits and limiting the council’s ability to take on new projects.

“With developer contributions not matching the funds required to build much-needed new infrastructure in the new communities, council will be restricted in raising the required funds to meet these infrastructure obligations,” the report states. “[There’s a] possibility of leaving council no option other than increasing debt exposure. [This] may restrict the amount of cash available for service delivery in subsequent years.”

Corporate services general manager Peter Bean said different rate caps were required for different councils.

“Melton, being a growth council, should have a higher cap,,” Mr Bean said.

Council is already concerned about funding shortfalls, he said, citing significant challenges to renew existing assets while building services and infrastructure which were needed to \ “stimulate” the economy. \\

ADVERTORIAL

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.

Cancer gets a kicking The Bacchus Marsh women’s football team is going pink next weekend, come rain or shine.

The team will raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation in their home ground match against Kyneton.

Team manager Rod Bertram says the players are hoping to raise at least $500 for a cause that could affect anyone in the team.

“It’s a platform for us to highlight breast cancer awareness given it’s a women’s sport and it predominantly affects women,” Bertram says.

“Breast cancer could affect one of our players at any stage.”

The players, who will don pink socks and bounce a pink football, are hoping Kyneton players will join their efforts to help fight the disease.

“We [know someone] in the club who has

breast cancer and is heading for a double mastectomy,” Bertram says. “She’s coming on the day to have a chat about breast cancer to the women before the game.”

Bertram says a women’s footy match is the perfect platform to highlight issues and raise awareness, as well as raising funds to fight, breast cancer.

The team formed only late last year but already has 24 players, who are aged between 18 and 45.

“It’s a good team-building sport,” Bertram says. “AFL is one of the fastest-growing sports in terms of women’s involvement “There is no age limit and we don’t discourage anyone from having a go.”

Offering a chance of secluded court living, this immaculately maintained house on about 897 square metres in Westlakes estate is designed to impress. The carpeted lounge room at the front provides a great place to relax on colder days; large windows here and in the spacious family-meals area admit ample natural light throughout. The adjacent kitchen comes with the full range of stainless-steel appliances and a large walk-in pantry. Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms have built-in wardrobes; the main has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. A children’s retreat completes this area. Outside, a veritable forest of lush greenery awaits, helping set the tone in the backyard where three separate outdoor areas provide an array of entertainment options – from a couple’s dinner under the pergola to a potential family reunion in the large covered al fresco area. Additional features include ducted heating and cooling and remote-controlled double garage with rear access.

On about 600 square metres in ever-popular Arnolds Creek estate, this modern abode announces its extrovert character with a bold red portico and maintains the approach inside with feature walls of burnt orange/red and lilac. An otherwise sedate decor (soft latte) is found in each of the four bedrooms, including the main which has a walk-in robe and en suite. An open, carpeted lounge room near the front door joins with a tiled meals zone and carpeted family room to provide separate downtime spaces. The kitchen has an island bench, dark timber-look cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances (including dishwasher). A deck, open to the sun, connects with the family hub and joins up with low-maintenance side and back yards with boxed perimeter planting. Ducted heating and cooling and a double garage with back roller door are other elements.

Peppermint Grove combines a rural feel with urban convenience. (Supplied)

NEW HOMES AND LAND – Golden Group From the You Yangs on the horizon to tiny basalt plains wildflowers and wetlands, nature is a close neighbour at Peppermint Grove estate.

The popular Melton West subdivision has been masterfully designed to make the most of its rural setting while keeping close to the comforts and conveniences of city life.

Step outside the front door and breathe fresh air, stroll the estate’s tree-lined streets to wetlands and playgrounds.

An impressive choice of quality schools is within easy reach, including St Catherine’s Primary School, Catholic Regional College

Melton and Melton West primary school.

Shopping is in easy reach at nearby Woodgrove Shopping Centre, home to Aldi, Big W, Bunnings, Australia Post, Harris Scarfe, Kmart, Woolworths and a host of speciality stores.

Enjoy family outings to beautiful Navan Park with a lake, adventure playground, barbecues and walking and bicycle paths, or the Arthur Westlake Memorial Reserve, with a skate park and barbecue and picnic facilities.

Peppermint Grove is just a 30-minute drive from Melbourne’s CBD via the Deer Park Bypass and the Western Freeway.

There’s a train station nearby and regular buses pass the estate en route to the station, town centre and schools.

With a country town feel, Melton is the perfect destination for a latte or lunch at one of the bakeries or cafes lining High Street. Or catch the latest movie at the Reading Cinema.

Melton is also home to an innovative learning and library hub in McKenzie Street.

Completed in 2013, the environmentally sustainable hub houses Melton’s library and offers children’s programs and maternal and child health services – as well as other community activities and free courses.

Peppermint Grove has been designed with a range of family situations in mind, so finding the right block for that dream home is easy, with larger blocks right through to smaller, easy-upkeep lifestyle blocks.

Buyers were quick to snap up stages one to six, Stage seven is proving just as popular. Blocks start from $131,000.

SPORT Proud Panther marks milestone

By Liam Twomey Two-time Melton South premiership player Matthew Collins added another milestone to his incredible career on Saturday.

Collins broke the Panthers’ all-time games record when he ran out for the 371st time.

In doing so, he overtook fellow club legend and previous record-holder Tom Weaver.

Collins said it was an incredible honour to reach the milestone mark.

“It is something I am very proud of, to break Tommy Weaver’s record,” he said. “When I first started playing, he was still playing and I was able to play with him.

“I love everything about this club. I am a very loyal person and that is just me, I suppose. The people are great and it’s just a fantastic club to be a part of.”

Looking back on a long and distinguished career at Melton South, Collins recalled two team highlights that stood out most for him.

He said playing in the two reserves’ premierships in 2001 and 2005 made him incredibly proud.

He also enjoyed the rivalry with local combatant Melton.

“I’d say the Melton rivalry is the best one of all the local sides,” he said.

“It has almost become a friendly rivalry over the years, to a certain extent. It was a bit more hate-filled back in the early days. It is not as hostile as it used to be but there is definitely still a bit of feeling there.”

A Melton local, 39-year-old Collins is planning to hang up the boots at the end of the year.

“It is very unlikely that I will play on at this stage,” he said.

“The body is starting to feel it. It will all depend on numbers.

“We have been struggling a little bit in the twos the last couple of years, so it depends on that a bit.”

Melton South pulled out all the stops to make sure it was a memorable occasion for Collins.

The Panthers welcomed back superstar full-forward Mathew Sutton, who returned after retiring last year.

“With our twos not being the strongest, the club was looking for a few blokes to help them out,” Sutton said.

“We [Sutton and Collins] played a couple of senior games together early on in the piece.

“He [Collins] is a great club stalwart. He does everything right. He gets the boys together and is the heart and soul of the place. He is a really good bloke and thoroughly deserves it.”

At this stage the comeback is a once-off, with Sutton having no plans to play senior football this season.

A former coach at the Panthers, Sutton said he was rapt to see the path the club had taken under his replacement, Mark Pedersen.

Rams hold strong for a favorite son

Sport shorts Soccer

An emotional week ended on a higher note for the Rockbank Rams on Saturday.

The Riddell District Football League club players and supporters had been shattered by the death of one of their own the previous week.

But players held strong on Saturday to secure their first win of the season, defeating Kilmore by 47 points at Ian Cowie Reserve.

Rockbank coach Gavin Sporle said it had been an extremely tough time in the lead-up.

“We had a pretty emotional week at the football club,” he said.

“It had a pretty big impact on the group.

“It was great to get the first win on the board but the day was about so much more than that.”

Lachlan Calder was terrific for Rockbank in its win, with the key forward dominating the 50-metre arc.

Calder booted eight goals to take his season tally to 20. He is now sitting in fifth spot on the RDFL’s leading goalkicker list.

“Lachlan has been great for us all year,” Sporle said. “He is coming off knee surgery over the course of the off-season and he has slotted in really well in the club as a whole, not just as part of the senior side.

“The footy club hasn’t had a key forward for a long time so having someone who straightens us up and provides a key target is a huge boost.

“His form has been excellent.”

While Calder controlled the forward line, Jack Sims, Tim Senserrick and Harley Cameron were outstanding for Rockbank around the ground.

The 13.13 (91) - 6.8 (44) win is also the first for Sporle, who took over at the club in the off-season.

The result moves the Rams to ninth spot on the RDFL ladder, just two games outside the top six.

Rockbank will look to build on the momentum of its first win this weekend when the Rams go head-to-head with Woodend Hesket.

Meanwhile, in other results from the weekend, Diggers Rest edged Melton Centrals in a hard fought battle.

Romsey defeated Woodend-Hesket and the Sunbury Kangaroos were too good for Lancefield.

Liam Twomey

“They are moving in the right direction, which is great,” Sutton said.

“Mark is doing a great job with them. They just need to take that short-term pain for long-term gain. They just need to go through that rebuild stage.”

Melton Phoenix secured a vital three points in state league 4 soccer at the weekend. The Phoenix smashed Laverton Park 5-1 to stay within striking distance of the league’s top four.

Leading 2-1 at half-time, Melton found the back of the net three more times in the second half. The victory means the Phoenix remains in seventh, two points behind fourth-placed Brimbank Stallions. Point Cook defeated Melbourne City, Keilor got the better of Surf Coast and Truganina was too good for Altona North.

Netball

Diggers Rest toppled reigning premiers Melton Centrals by two goals in the Riddell District Netball League on Saturday. In a seesawing encounter, the lead changed hands multiple times.

But when it mattered most it was the Burras who came out on top. Diggers Rest scored 11 final-quarter goals to secure a 52-50 win. Centrals’ shooter Renee Hulls scored 30 goals. The win moves Diggers Rest to sixth place on the A-grade ladder while the Centrals slip to eighth.

Hockey

Melton remains in third spot on the Hockey Victoria women’s state league two ladder after a 2-2 draw against Melbourne High School at the weekend. The Mustangs drew first blood thanks to a brilliant goal from Megan Shadbolt eight minutes into the first half. Despite having a number of chances to double its lead, Melton was unable to find the back of the net as half-time approached. On the back of four successive corners, Melbourne eventually hit the scoreboard, tying the scores going into the main break. When play resumed, Melton enjoyed a similar level of attack but again struggled.

It was the opposite for Melbourne, which scored to take a 2-1 lead. The Mustangs rallied with Lucy Steele equalising late in the match.

No-one was backing down in this marking contest between Rockbank and Kilmore. (Shawn Smits) 51 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 2, 2015

Little reward for fighting Jets

By Lance Jenkinson Western Jets coach Torin Baker insists his side’s 10-goal losing margin to Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup at Avalon Airport Oval on Saturday was not reflective of the overall work his young charges put in.

The Jets were competitive in most aspects of the game – but not on the scoreboard, with Baker feeling his young team deserved a more palatable outcome.

“We had three less inside-50s, it was very even in clearances and we end up with a 10-goal loss,” he said.

“I don’t think the scoreboard accurately reflects how even the game was for most of the day. There’s certainly lots of positives we can take out of it.”

The Falcons were ruthless in their execution, something that set two sides at opposite ends of the table apart.

“Full credit to Geelong – they converted brilliantly … they kicked 21.5,” Baker said.

“We’d had more of the ball inside-50 [in the first half], but we kicked 4.5 to their 8.1 and that was the story at half-time. They kicked a couple of extra goals in the third to break our backs and that was the ball game really.”

If recruiters like to follow trends, perhaps they should be jotting down the name of Brandon Coletta.

Five goals in a best-on-ground performance for the Jets capped a big month for the forward.

“What he’s been able to do is lift his work rate to new levels and he’s getting the reward for that,” Baker said.

Q FOOTBALL WILLIAMSTOWN 3.3 GEELONG 4.3

“He’s become really dangerous as a tall forward but he can also win the ball at ground level.

“There’d be no doubt that people will start to be looking at his performances.

“It’s not like he’s done it once or twice – he took 10 marks against Gippsland, he had six scoring shots against Dandenong and had eight scoring shots against Geelong.

“He’s put together a very solid month of football.”

The Jets matched it with the Falcons in the midfield.

Captain Jaycob Hickey, Daniel Foley, Lachlan Knight and Jackson Volpato – consistent performers throughout the season for the Jets – certainly didn’t lower their colours on Saturday.

“Most of our midfielders were really solid,” Baker said.

James Harrison carved out a strong debut as a lead-up forward while Jake Bertollo hit the scoreboard again with three goals.

Wilson Berry has been one of the stand-outs in the Jets’ defence for the past five matches.

“He’s been a real find for us,” Baker said.

“He’s got a bit of height but can play on the talls and smalls because he’s quite mobile.

“He’s a very disciplined player but is also providing good rebound for us as well.”

The TAC Cup will have a break this weekend for the national championships.

SPORT

Wake-up time for Melton dreams In the next few weeks, Melton-based teams in the Riddell District and Ballarat leagues will learn where they stand in terms of finals aspirations. Liam Twomey looks at how the sides have been tracking.

Darley (BFL)

Record: 3-2 Ladder position: Fourth Best win: After a slow start to the 2014 season, the Devils ensured 2015 began with a bang.

Hosting Sunbury, one of last year’s finalists, Darley was dominant in round one, cruising to a 90-point win on the back of seven goals from Jake Edwards.

Toughest loss: The Devils were far from disgraced in their first loss, which came against premiership contender Redan. Darley went down 17.19 (121) - 13.10 (88). The defeat had no lasting effects on the club’s momentum, with the Devils bouncing back the following week with a win against East Point.

Among the best: Opposition sides would be wise to put some time into studying Shane Page in coming weeks. Like his team, Page has enjoyed a strong start to the 2015 season, being named among his side’s best players every week.

Moving forward: It hasn’t taken long for Darley to establish itself as a premiership contender.

The Devils get their chance to cement a top-four spot when they take on under-pressure trio Melton, Melton South and Sebastopol in the next three weeks.

Bacchus Marsh (BFL)

Record: 4-2 Ladder position: Fifth Best win: The Cobras confirmed their status as finals contenders with a 50-point smashing of fellow September hopeful East Point on Sunday. The win allowed Bacchus Marsh to jump to fifth and put some distance on the chasing pack.

Toughest loss: Teams on the rise are always looking to claim a big scalp and the Cobras had that chance in round four against North Ballarat City. Taking on the reigning premier in an away fixture might have looked like a daunting task, but Bacchus Marsh was in the contest for three quarters before going down by 32 points.

Among the best: Off-season recruit Peter Shepherd has been an outstanding acquisition for the Cobras. He has booted 16 goals in the first six rounds and is third on the goal-kicking leaderboard.

Moving forward: Bacchus Marsh will have every chance to consolidate its place in the finals in the next two weeks with back-to-back matches against top-six contenders Sunbury and Lake Wendouree.

Melton (BFL)

Record: 2-2-1 Ladder position: Sixth Best win: In wet and windy conditions, Melton got its 2015 campaign off and running in round two against Sebastopol. Despite missing big-name off-season recruit James Mulligan, the Bloods showed plenty of fight to have the match won by three-quarter time.

Toughest loss: Although they walked away with two points from their first round match against Melton South, the Bloods will feel like it was a missed opportunity. After trailing by 28 points in the last term, Melton led with 10 seconds left but was unable to hold on in a match that ended in a draw.

Among the best: The honours have been shared evenly for the Bloods, with Nicholas Gale and Brett McIntyre among the standouts.

Both have been named among the best players twice, while Gale has also hit the scoreboard with five majors.

Moving forward: Sixth on the BFL ladder, Melton needs to continue beating the teams around it if it wants to remain in finals contention. The Bloods have tough opponents on the horizon: Darley, East Point and Redan.

Melton South (BFL) Record: 1-3-1 Ladder position: Ninth

Melton and Melton South produced a classic encounter when they met earlier this season. (Damian Visentini)

Best win: Melton South brought an end to its winless streak on Saturday, smashing Sebastopol by 66 points. It was a great day for the club, with reserves player Matthew Collins breaking the Panthers’ all-time games record.

Toughest loss: There have been plenty of early-season positives for Melton South, but last month’s match against North Ballarat City wasn’t one of them. The Panthers managed just two goals and gave up 35 in the 222-point loss.

Among the best: Following a bag of seven goals in round one and five in round six, Frank Holzer is fourth on the BFL goalkicking list, having provided a strong target for the Panthers.

He has kicked at least one goal in all five matches.

Moving forward: The Panthers have a tough fortnight coming up as they seek to break away from the sides locked at the bottom end of the ladder. They’re facing games against premiership contenders Redan and Darley.

Diggers Rest (RDFL)

Record: 4-2 Ladder position: Fifth Best win: After losing last year’s grand final, the Burras fired an early shot in the 2015 premiership race with a 78-point win against Riddell in round one. In his return match from a long-term injury, Brent Tuckey booted two goals, while Luke Smailes kicked six.

Toughest loss: While they were by no means bad, the Burras let one slip against Sunbury Kangaroos in round two. Leading at the end of each quarter, Diggers Rest had every chance to claim a vital four points away from home.

But the Kangaroos rallied, kicking three final-quarter goals to win by a point.

Among the best: With two bags of six goals to his name, Luke Smailes has let the RDFL know he will again be one of the premier forwards of the competition. Also putting his hand up for the Burras has been Cameron McCabe, who has twice been named best on ground.

Moving forward: Diggers Rest are clearly better than their fifth ladder placing suggests.

They will get a chance to climb the table in the coming weeks with matches against Macedon and Lancefield.

Rockbank (RDFL)

Record: 1-4 Ladder position: Ninth Best win: After making the finals last year, Rockbank has endured a tough start. The Rams broke through for their first win of the season against Kilmore last week.

Toughest loss: While victories have been hard to come by, the Rams have been far from disgraced in any of their matches. The club’s average losing margin is just 22 points.

Rockbank will feel as if it let one slip in round one against Melton Centrals. The Rams led at three-quarter time but were unable to hold on for a win.

Among the best: After crossing over from the Western Region Football League in the off-season, Lachlan Calder has been a great addition to the Rams. Calder has booted 20 goals from five games and is fifth on the goalscoring list.

Moving forward: The Rams will be looking to build on the momentum of their first win when they take on Woodend-Hesket this weekend.

Melton Centrals (RDFL)

Record: 1-5 Ladder position: 11th Best win: When they appointed new coach Glenn Hopkins in the off-season, Centrals did so knowing they were entering a development phase. But it didn’t take Hopkins long to give supporters a look into a bright future via the club’s round one win against Rockbank.

Toughest loss: The Centrals could count themselves unlucky not to have two wins after their round two loss to Macedon. Centrals went down by 19 points after Macedon forward Marcus Kenny put through nine goals to win the match off his own boot.

Among the best: Rex Hickman has shown why the Centrals were so rapt to secure his signature.

The key forward has been a constant headache for opposition defenders and has shown a great ability to get up the ground and take contested marks.

Moving forward: The Centrals will have a great chance to get their second win when they take on winless Kilmore this weekend.

MOTOR Holden’s son of a beach returns

By Ewan Kennedy

A blast from the past is returning to Australian roads and beaches. The Holden Sandman is back – well, sort of.

The Holden Sandman was a panel van that became a legend in its own lifetime. Panel vans were all the rage in the 1960s and ’70s. Like today’s dual-cab sports utes, panel vans began life as mundane working vehicles, then became ever more dressed up until they became lifestyle machines – with plenty of room in the back.

Initially, the dressing up was done by the after-market guys and gals, but soon the manufactures cottoned on to the idea and came up with factory produced vehicles.

When launched in HQ format in 1974, the Holden Sandman immediately became king of the van hill.

Ford and Chrysler came up with their own vans, but none reached the status of the Holden.

Sandman was also sold as a utility, but the van was the big winner.

The Sandman continued through the facelifted versions of the HQ into the HJ, HX and HZ Holden ranges until 1977.

In its dying years as an Australian manufacturer, Holden has revived the Sandman name for special editions of standard Commodores.

Sadly, the 2015 Holden Sandman is offered only as a dressed-up Commodore ute or station wagon. The company would have dearly loved to build a Sandman panel van but sedan-based vans have gone the way of crank handles, carburettors and cross-ply tyres.

Limited edition 2015 Holden Sandman sportswagon and ute. (Supplied)

The 2015 Sandman Special Edition Holden Sandman was launched in an appropriate place and time – at the Bells Beach Ripcurl Pro surf competition.

It comes in VF Commodore SV6 and the SS-V format and revives the instantly recognisable surf livery. Orange shag-pile floor rug is an accessory – love it.

Holden sales executive director Peter Keley said: “The Holden Sandman has been

synonymous with the great Australian surf safari for decades and perfectly reflects our country’s laid-back yet adventurous attitude to life … most importantly, it’s about having fun.”

The 2015 Holden Sandman Special Edition costs a $2950 premium on SSV and SV6 models and has 20-inch gloss black wheels; also in trendy black are the fender vents, grille and roof racks.

Holden Sandman Special Edition will be

offered in heron white, nitrate silver and phantom black.

Options are the aforementioned orange rear shag pile and cargo rug (in the sportwagon) and orange sheep-skin seat inserts.

The Sandman doesn’t go on sale until June this year.

But it might be smart to get on to your local dealer as soon as possible because there may well be a long waiting list.
