Hospital trauma revisited In her heart, Julie McIntosh knew her baby boy had already died. She hadn’t felt Xavier move all night and all morning. In a panic, the Melton South mother raced to Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital on a Saturday in March, 2010, where midwives attempted to find a heartbeat using a monitor known as a Doppler. “They couldn’t find a heartbeat, so they told me to wait until Monday morning and go to the ultrasound place in Melton … because the hospital didn’t have the equipment.” At a subsequent ultrasound, staff could not find a heartbeat. Ms McIntosh was referred back to the hospital and was unsuccessfully induced several times over the next three days. By the Wednesday, Ms McIntosh, who desperately wanted to have a caesarean, gave birth to Xavier. She cradled her long-awaited son, stillborn at 37 weeks. When the grieving mother asked for an autopsy to determine the cause of his death, she says the midwives and nurses “played on her emotions”. “They said he’s deteriorated so quickly; we don’t recommend it … you don’t know how they’re [the coroner] going to treat his organs; – he looks so perfect,” Ms McIntosh said. “They were just messing with my head.” Reluctantly, she chose not to go ahead with an autopsy but, deep down, she always believed poor care from hospital

staff may have contributed to her son’s death. At the time of her pregnancy, Ms McIntosh weighed 103 kilograms and was on a controlled diet for gestational diabetes. However, Ms McIntosh said the hospital rarely monitored her insulin levels, she was seldom sent for extra ultrasounds, and she claims her concerns about her pregnancy were almost always dismissed. At 36 weeks, when she called the hospital to say her insulin levels were higher than they had been during her pregnancy, she said midwives told her not to worry and wait for her next appointment. She claims her concerns were brushed aside, time and again. But just a week after that call to the hospital, Ms McIntosh was holding her dead baby son. “As a mother, you don’t want to go through anything like that. “Now I’m having another boy and my anxiety levels are so high, it’s scary. Am I going to come home with a child this time?” Ms McIntosh is one of a number of women who have approached law firm Maurice Blackburn for help after revelations the deaths of up to seven babies born at the Bacchus Marsh hospital between 2013 and 2014 may have been avoided. A spokesman for the hospital said they could not comment on individual cases or individual claims. ■ More

MP condemns ‘extremist’ posts By Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton MP Don Nardella has called on what he says are “extremist organisations” to stop whipping up racist sentiment in his electorate. And he told them “a primary school is not a battleground” after a Star tar Weekly report of plans for an Islamic primary school at Victoria University’s Melton campus drew an angry response. Following the article, an online petition and a Facebook page opposing the school has attracted more than 1000 ‘likes’. Comments on social media urged the state government to “stop facilitating the spread of Islam by

approving mosques, Islamic schools and Islamic centres all over our state, including Melton”. The Facebook page, which declares its allegiance to the United Patriots Front, a far-right-wing group opposing immigration, multiculturalism and Islam, called on readers to contact Mr Nardella to air their concerns. The Facebook page was set up on October 12 because the administrator claimed to be “scared” of Muslim leaders being elected to Melton council and did not want “Islam growing any further in our community”. Speaking to Star Weekly last week, Mr

Nardella urged these “extremist outside organisations” to stop causing tension in his electorate. “This is a primary school and people need to understand a primary school is not a battleground,” he said. “These children and staff have every right, like any child and any teacher in any other school, to be educated wherever they want.” Mr Nardella said the language used on the Facebook page, which Star Weekly has chosen not to name, was “absolutely inappropriate, divisive and conflictual”. A Victoria University spokeswoman said staff noticed “unauthorised signage” at the

campus two weeks ago and police and Melton council were notified. “Victoria University proudly celebrates its rich diversity, directly reflecting the population in its west-of-Melbourne heartland,” the spokeswoman said. “At VU graduation ceremonies . . . a plethora of cultures, religions, ages and races is represented in a communal celebration of success. “Melbourne’s western suburbs have become renowned for strong communities of varied culture. “The staff and student bodies of VU reflect and value this.”

He hopes to study design at the Whitehouse Institute of Design in Melbourne’s CBD then land an internship at a high-end fashion house. “I want to do a bit of everything – styling, fabric-making and designing.” Alisan has eight words of advice for aspiring designers: “Stay true to you and never give up.” Sumeyya Ilanbey

Melton council has been lauded for its support for new business development in a growth area. At the recent Australian Property Institute’s awards night, judges said they were impressed with the council’s support for the Western Business Accelerator and Centre for Excellence (BACE) and the building’s six-star environmental rating. Construction of the business incubator finished a year ago, and the centre is providing workplaces to support fledgling businesses, promoting sustainability, providing training, and researching and developing ways to boost employment in Melton. Mayor Sophie Ramsey said it was a “great thrill” to win the institute’s Local Government Property award. “There was a lot of competition for this award, with innovative projects from all over the state vying for the honour” Cr Ramsey said. “So we’re delighted to be the council with it on proud display. “The Western BACE, in Ferris Road, Melton South, has been open only a few months but has been successful beyond our wildest dreams as a business incubator. It has also set a benchmark for sustainable design and construction,” Cr Ramsey said. The federal government contributed $14.62 million towards the $21 million building, which formally opened in May. Western BACE has won a number of awards since construction finished, the latest being a Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria’s sustainable cities award.

Struggle streets need jobs focus By Sumeyya Ilanbey No jobs – at least none residents are qualified to do – and a dearth of training explains Melton’s 7.6 per cent unemployment rate, peak body Leadwest claims. While overall unemployment in the municipality seems less because of lower numbers in Caroline Springs (five per cent) and Hillside (4.6), the rest of Melton is struggling. At June 30 this year, unemployment at Melton itself was 12.2 per cent, 11.2 per cent at Melton South, 11 per cent at Rockbank, and 9.5 per cent at Melton West.

Leadwest chief executive Craig Rowley said there were much higher rates of unemployment in particular “hotspots” because of housing affordability. “Housing contributes to the clustering of unemployment rates as disadvantaged workers seek cheaper housing,” he said. “Data on tenure of housing and average weekly rent prices in Melbourne’s west suggests that the clustering of unemployed people is related to housing affordability.” Mr Rowley said there weren’t enough jobs being created in areas where there were unemployment “clusters”, while those jobs that are available require skills unemployed locals

do not have. According to the data, Melton had the highest rates of unemployment after Brimbank (9.9 per cent). Maribyrnong (7.3 per cent) and Wyndham (7 per cent) followed. Mr Rowley said more jobs were urgently needed in the west, while access to workplaces in neighbouring regions needed to be improved and working-age people needed to be equipped with the skills to do those jobs. “Melbourne’s west has a growing and increasingly qualified workforce,” he said. “But the current rate of population growth is outstripping the creation of local jobs. “We need the three tiers of government, the

region’s businesses and the communities here all continuing to work together to facilitate investment in Melbourne’s west that will grow the number of local jobs for local people.” Mr Rowley said that while there was major investment in the region and new infrastructure projects under way, a greater variety of jobs needed to be created in the suburbs. Mr Rowley said job creation in the west could grow the economy, relieve transport congestion and “increase livability for everyone”. “We need to encourage investment and showcase what Melbourne’s west has to offer to potential employers,” he said.

Back on a better road Nineteen years ago, Jo Ballard was involved in a serious car accident at Bacchus Marsh’s Avenue of Honour. She broke her kneecaps and suffered several other injuries. For a long time afterwards, walking was painful for the Long Forest woman. But now she’s not only as fit as ever, she and husband John have taken part in 10 RACV Great Victorian Bike Rides. “I needed rehab after the accident, so I gradually began going to the local pool and gym, and to continue building my strength I started riding a bike locally,” Ms Ballard says. And when John encouraged her to do the 500-kilometre, 10-day cycling challenge in 2004, she says she was “apprehensive and fearful” at first. But since then she has embraced every opportunity to combine sightseeing with cycling and has ridden her bike through

Cambodia, France, Italy, Western Australia and Tasmania. “If I see an 84-year-old lady riding her bike up those hills, I think to myself, if she can do it, I can do it,” Ms Ballard says. While she still hesitates to ride her bike on busy roads, Ms Ballard says she enjoys riding through back roads and taking in all nature has to offer, especially the kangaroos. In this year’s event, cyclists will ride 500 kilometres in pairs through Victoria’s historic Goldfields region from Saturday, November 28, to Sunday, December 6. “Meeting the same people every year is wonderful,” Ms Ballard says. “It’s lovely to hear what they’ve been doing for the past year.” To register for the event or for more information, visit greatvic.com.au/ Sumeyya Ilanbey

Ambos ‘late’ for every third call By Sumeyya Ilanbey One patient in three in Melton waits longer than the target of 15 minutes for an emergency ambulance, according to Ambulance Victoria’s annual report. While responses to life-threatening situations in Melton improved 14 per cent in the past year, ambulances arrived in under 15 minutes only 67 per cent of the time. The average time for 6700 calls was just under 14 minutes. In nearby Brimbank, where paramedics responded to 10,700 emergency calls, 77 per cent were answered in under 15 minutes. The state target is for 85 per cent of Code-1 emergencies to be responded to within the 15-minute mark. Ambulance Victoria’s regional manager, Simon Thomson, said while paramedics were doing their utmost to provide “excellent service” amid growing demand, he acknowledged they were failing to meet their targets. “We acknowledge we can improve and are working closely with the government and paramedics through the ambulance performance and policy consultative committee to improve the services we provide to Victorians,” Mr Thomson said. “Recent steps have been taken to improve the timely transfer of patients to emergency departments, including removal of the hospital bypass system, so paramedics and ambulances are more available.” Mr Thomson said that as part of some of

the changes to Ambulance Victoria, the role of the communications centre had been expanded to improve the distribution of ambulances across the system.

‘‘

We are working . . . to improve the service

’’

- Simon Thomson

Earlier this year, the committee, headed by Health Minister Jill Hennessy, released an interim report, which noted the need for better integration of ambulance services and the broader health system, better support for paramedics at Ambulance Victoria and an improvement to ambulance call and despatch. But a Melton paramedic, who asked to remain anonymous, said while much had been done to improve ambulance response times, resourcing remained a significant issue in the “triangle of death”: Bacchus Marsh, Melton and Sunbury. “It’s an expansive area and one that’s still growing and we’re just trying to play catch-up,” the paramedic said. “If one of those three areas are out of resources, then the next closest resource is at least 20 minutes away, even with a fast drive.” The paramedic said while he didn’t want to discourage people from calling an ambulance, paramedics were sometimes tied up by patients who should have visited a GP.

Heads up on close shave It’s not every day you get to shave your teacher’s bushy beard. But Kurunjang Secondary College students have spent the past month gearing up for the big snip. Last Thursday, students shaved their teachers’ heads and beards in front of the entire school to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. Event co-organiser Daniel Homburg said the World’s Greatest Shave day was about raising awareness of leukaemia, as well as funds for the foundation. The impact of the disease was brought home to students with the diagnosis of a former student.

“Kids don’t realise anything about the disease until it hits home,” Mr Homburg said. “So when they realised how important this cause was, it made them think about it more.” Mr Homburg said it was great to see the whole school come together for one of their peers and get behind the fundraiser. And while it was the school’s senior students who pushed for the event, the juniors were just as eager to volunteer their time and jump on board. The school raised more than $3000. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Police are appealing for public help over an assault and theft in Melton last week. Investigators have been told a woman arrived at her Swan Street home and disturbed a youth standing on her verandah about 10am on Wednesday, October 14. The teen fled before she noticed another person sitting in the driver’s seat of her car, which was parked in her driveway. As the second person fled he pushed the 53-year-old woman against a carport pole, causing minor bruising. She noticed $250 had been stolen from the vehicle. The offenders are perceived to be of African appearance and aged about 15. Aspiring filmmakers from the west are being encouraged to attend WestWorld FilmFest’s series of filmmaking workshops in coming months. The workshops will teach young people aged 12 to 25 about camera and lighting techniques, editing, sound, animation, screen acting and special effects. Details: yse@melton.vic.gov.au

Chief calls for fire-risk upgrade Melton and Moorabool have been identified as among the highest-risk areas for grass and bushfires. Emergency management commissioner Craig Lapsley said both shires had to be listed as shires of significant fire risk as soon as possible. “It’s time to act now,” he said. Mr Lapsley said the real damage was caused when fires started in, and spread to, areas close to homes and buildings. “Melton and Moorabool are both very dry and have grass and forest, as well as lots of people, homes, major roads and highways,” Mr Lapsley said. His warnings follow an early start to the fire season. Earlier this month, emergency services across the state had to battle more than 100 blazes, which damaged countless properties. A preliminary investigation by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre pointed to an above-normal fire season across most of Victoria. Minimal rain, drying conditions in eastern-central Australia that affect north westerly air patterns, and rain that dampens but doesn’t soak soil are some of the factors that indicated an earlier start to the season. Mr Lapsley said that despite small pockets of rain, Victoria hadn’t had “soaking” rain since last month and a Bureau of Meteorology forecast indicated below-average October rainfall.

“We’re already dry and it’s going to stay dry,” Mr Lapsley said. “The only thing they haven’t been able to predict is wind, and strong winds and dry conditions are the recipe for fire. Mr Lapsley said the fact the Melton

and Moorabool municipalities were predominantly open, flat land with significant forested areas made the area a lot more dangerous for both grass and bushfires. “A lot of people don’t see grassfires as that dangerous,” he said. “But they can be extremely fast moving and will move up to people’s back fences really quickly.” “The biggest difference between grass and bushfires is the intensity. With bushfires there are higher flames, more heat, and they can spark embers.” But he urged people to be equally vigilant about grassfires. A grassfire raged close to houses on the Calder Freeway at Taylors Lakes on Tuesday, October 6. And the Metropolitan Fire Brigade issued a ‘watch and act’ alert for a fast-moving grassfire near Calder Park Thunderdome. For incidents and warnings, visit emergency.vic.gov.au

MATTHEW SPITERI AND BILLY METTERS

Teens learn how to lead Matthew Spiteri and Billy Metters are inspired and inspirational 16-year-olds. For the past seven months, the Melton teenagers have been involved with the Western Bulldogs’ Whitten Project, which instills leadership skills in teenagers between 14 and 16. And at their recent graduation ceremony, Billy received the project’s peer-nominated You Inspire Me Award from the rest of the 44 participants. “I was kind of proud of myself because everything I put in during the seven months was recognised,” Billy says. “It’s not that I wanted to be recognised, but it was nice to be noticed for doing what you’d been doing.”

Billy says the Whitten Project has helped him network within his own and the Western Bulldogs communities. Schoolmate Matthew Spiteri, who was a runner-up for the award, says he was “amazed” his peers had perceived him as inspirational. “I’ve grown as a person because of the Whitten Project,” Matthew says. “I have more confidence to speak to people; I’ve learned how to approach people and speak to them; and I’m more professional when speaking to authority.” Matthew says he would “definitely” recommend the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his peers.

Lawyers acting for the beleaguered Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital have been asked to show compassion and fairness towards families harmed by alleged negligence. Last Friday, state Health Minister Jill Hennessy said she had asked the state’s independent insurer, Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA), to behave as a “model litigant” and not engage in a “David-and-Goliath” legal battle. “It’s very difficult, given the VMIA is an independent body, that we don’t have direct legal powers, but we’ve certainly communicated our expectation that people are treated fairly and with compassion,” Ms Hennessy said. Earlier in the week, law firms Slater and Gordon and Maurice Blackburn, confirmed lawyers acting for the Bacchus Marsh hospital had contacted them offering to discuss patients’ complaints while under the hospital’s management. “I have been practising in this area of law for over a decade and what we have seen with Bacchus Marsh is unprecedented and of great concern,” said Maurice Blackburn’s principal lawyer Dimitra Dubrow. Meanwhile, Slater and Gordon principal lawyer Anne Shortall said dozens of families had contacted them. Cases will be lodged separately, but families could receive up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation from the state government, she said.

“We use mediation and conciliation to repair the relationship between the person and the service, so we can offer a range of outcomes … \ such as apologies, explanations, compensation and sometimes a change,” he said. “It’s been such a long time for some people and causes such a deep hurt, so it may never be

Dozens of people have raised concerns with the Health Services Commissioner as investigations into infant deaths at the Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital continue. Commissioner Grant Davies is encouraging people to come forward with their complaints and concerns about obstetrics or midwifery services there over recent decades. Dr Davies said many of those people who came forward in the past week had either decided not to complain at the time or were unaware of their rights to complain about the care they received. “What’s important for people to know at a time like this is that everyone has the right to raise concerns about their care and to have those concerns addressed, so that quality improvements can be made,” he said. “This really underlines the importance of people having their voices heard in healthcare, especially when things go wrong.” Earlier this month Health Minister Jill Hennessy said a state government investigation had found the deaths of seven babies born at the hospital between 2013 and 2014 may have been prevented. Dr Davies said his office received “very few” complaints about the Bacchus Marsh hospital in 2013 and 2014, and none had raised concerns about infant mortality or about professional malpractice. Dr Davies said it was important for people to air their grievances and “feel heard”. “When incidents like this occur and people are affected, they need to feel heard by the health services \ and feel heard by organisations like mine,” he said. “We offer » alternative dispute resolution services.

Trouble in the air for west By Ben Cameron Declining living standards and pollution from early-hours industrial emissions are among the major environmental issues facing Brimbank in the next 20 years, an independent inquiry has heard. Community groups, including the Brimbank Greens, met last Wednesday in Sunshine to voice their concerns to the state’s environmental watchdog. Sunshine is one of 17 locations to host inquiries that will guide Environment

Protection Authority operations in coming years. Highlighted as key issues by the groups were improving operating standards of Brooklyn industries, giving the EPA “more teeth, more power”, the heat build-up due to lack of tree canopies, and groundwater pollution. Stop the Tip spokeswoman Mia Marevic said the EPA’s lack of consultation on a tip extension at Ravenhall loomed large. “Landfills and communities don’t mix,” she said. “There is a lack of follow-up from the EPA about odour complaints.

“We’re afraid about the quality of our air.” Save Sunvale spokesman John Hedditch questioned whether the EPA used world’s best practice. “We have an existing framework, which doesn’t work,” he said. Friends of Iramoo’s Helen Rzesniowiecki said the EPA needed to be “proactive, not reactive”, while Cairnlea Green founder Graeme Blore said there needed to be an EPA office in the western suburbs. “We need a genuine 24/7 service,” he said. “It needs stronger research and development.

“The EPA also needs to build stronger relationships with schools. I feel they favour industry over the community. “With new suburbs like Rockbank and Plumpton popping up, we need adequate parklands. There is a clear lack of parks and shade cover.” The inquiry’s chairwoman, Penny Armytage, welcomed the feedback. “We want to better understand individual, community and business needs so that the EPA can be well equipped to meet Victoria’s future challenges,” she said.

School numbers stack up Southern Cross Grammar School is celebrating after successfully buying back its school and achieving 11th place nationally in a global maths competition. On October 9, the school confirmed it had paid back its white knight, the Zig Inge Group, returning about $8 million to the saviour who bailed out the school when then-parent company Independent Colleges Australia went into voluntary administration in 2010. While it took four long years to reclaim its sovereignty, principal Andrew Ponsford – grandson of Australian Test cricketer Bill – said the incredible bounce-back came down to two things: generosity of the Zig Inge Group and strong enrolments following the bailout. Enrolments have risen rapidly in recent years, and there are waiting lists for places in YOUR prep to year 8. He said it’s the enrolments that have helped bankroll the building of a new junior school and sports field.

With 386 current students and 465 confirmed for next year, Mr Ponsford said the school was hoping to break the 700-enrolment mark by the time its new $4 million senior campus opens in 2018. “We now have our students holding their own against the best from the best schools,” he said. The school is racking up the runs at year 7 level, with 13-year-old Liam Giacchi having been crowned the 2015 Perfect Maths champion, placing in the top two per cent of 20,000 global competitors in the Perfect Maths competition. The school had 40 students take part and finished second in the state and 11th in Australia among schools of similar size. Year 7 student, Stephanie Merry, produced a chapter of author Allyse Near’s new book, FOOD FairytalesBILL for Wilde Girls, published in August.

Rates cap not the answer: union By Sumeyya Ilanbey The Australian Services Union has described the state government’s Fair Go Rates bill as a “dog’s breakfast”. The union representing public servants has called on the Parliament to reject “this idiotic policy”, saying the bill leaves everybody with more questions than answers. Among some of the changes proposed is the capping of rates at the consumer price index, giving the local government minister powers to suspend councils in instances of “continued and deliberate non-compliance”, and giving the Essential Services Commission (ESC) greater oversight of council spending.

Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said the move came as new data revealed Victorians had faced average rate increases of an “unsustainable and unfair” six per cent every year for the past decade. “Our Fair Go Rates cap won’t cut existing budgets and it won’t stop councils providing much-needed services and facilities,” she said. “What it will deliver is greater value for money and councils that listen and respond to the needs of their community.” But union branch secretary Richard Duffy said he was “deeply” concerned about the state government’s new policy. “Frankly, it’s a dog’s breakfast … we wonder what the government will do to stop councils

‘‘

The Andrews government is silent about what it will - Richard Duffy do …

’’

from running down infrastructure, cutting services and slashing jobs,” Mr Duffy said. “A monitoring regime may detect these events after they occur, but the Andrews government is silent about what it will do to ensure councils correct their ways.” Mr Duffy said capping rates at the CPI was no different to cutting funds to health and education. “If the Labor Party believes funding cuts to

health and education are ‘bad’, then, equally, cuts to local government are also ‘bad’ for similar reasons,” he said. In Melton, the average rate rise over the past decade was four per cent – one of the lowest rate hikes in the state. Melton chief executive Kel Tori says he believes the current bill provides greater flexibility than the ESC recommended. “Council will have to deal with the challenges that rate capping presents, much as it has with all other requirements and regulations imposed on local government by other levels of government,” Mr Tori said. “I am confident that council will do so in a positive manner that minimises any impact on the community.”

A friend at the dentist For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients visiting the Royal Dental Hospital, Cindy Evans is the first point of contact. The 28-year-old Melton woman is Dental Health Services Victoria’s first Aboriginal patient liaison trainee. Her role involves working with the hospital’s diversity and teaching clinic teams to comfort and reassure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people coming for check-ups. Ms Evans says she wants to “give something back” to a service she has often used herself. “I’m passionate about my history. I consider myself as helping the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community throughout the whole process of visiting a dentist,” she says. “I’m basically involved with the whole process – making the initial appointment, the

follow-up calls, check-ups and offering that extra support.” The service’s chief executive, Deborah Cole, said dentists had treated 10 per cent more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the past financial year than in 2013-14. “We’re not only recommitted to closing the gap in indigenous health, but also providing opportunities for greater community involvement through employment,” Dr Cole said. Sumeyya Ilanbey Cindy Evans is helping close the gap in indigenous health at the Royal Dental Hospital. (Kristian Scott)

Discover a floating By Charlene Macaulay We’ve all had holidays where you spend so much time running around seeing the sights that you need another holiday when you get home. Well, if you want to avoid that and you’re looking for a holiday that combines overseas travel, fun and relaxation, try a cruise. I’ve been on three in the past four years so I can say with authority that cruising offers the best of both worlds and is great value for money. But for those trying cruising for the first time, selecting the right company is vital. If you’re young and like to party, a P&O cruise is for you. Carnival Cruise Line is family-friendly, with many of its ships featuring water slides for little kids . . . and big kids. Princess Cruises caters for a much older (think 60-plus) crowd. It can be lacking in nightlife but is great for on-board activities. Another thing to consider is your cabin choice. The cheapest fares can be found for interior cabins, which can accommodate between two and four people but have no natural light. Ocean-view rooms include a window. The next step up is a balcony room, and for the ultimate in luxury, a mini-suite or suite is the way to go. I recently tried a 12-night cruise around Fiji and New Caledonia on Dawn Princess, one of the fleet of Princess ships. It left from Sydney’s White Bay and covered two New Caledonian ports, Noumea and Isle of Pines, and three Fijian stops: Dravuni Island, Port Denarau and Suva. With 12 nights and five ports, there are a lot of “sea days”, giving you plenty of time

world of luxury

Cruising in the Pacific is a world of relaxing, excellent and sometimes exotic eating, and visiting some of the region’s beautiful islands. (Charlene Macaulay)

where you are waited on hand and foot by the attentive crew. Dining options are numerous – from the buffet-style Horizon Court to pizza restaurant La Scala Pizzeria, the balcony grill and the formal Florentine and Venetian dining rooms. There’s also an ice-cream bar, patisserie,

afternoon tea and 24-hour room service. One of the best parts of cruising? Everything is done for you. A cabin steward is assigned to your room from your first day and, apart from keeping your room clean and tidy, is always the best person to ask for advice or tips. And every evening, your steward will leave

a copy of the following day’s events in your room. Activities include everything from Zumba classes to bingo, trivia quizzes, dance classes, table tennis tournaments, martini demonstrations and a nightly array of shows, dances and comedians. Or if you just want to relax, there are sunlounges galore to pop your feet on. On land, there is just as much (or little) to do. Trying to do each port justice is hard, but here are my top tips for the islands: • For snorkelling, you can’t go past Dravuni Island. It’s surrounded by the Great Astrolabe Reef, the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef and teeming with a vast array of brightly

coloured fish. Isle of Pines is also an excellent option for keen snorkellers. • To walk off some of that excellent food, hike Dravuni Island’s highest peak, where you’ll be rewarded with great views of the surrounding islands. You’ll need sturdy shoes for this one; thongs won’t cut it. • Port Denarau is full or resorts, restaurants and shops. For something different, head to the Sleeping Giant mountain where, for $65 per person, you can try out ziplining. • Try an off-shore excursion to really experience Suva and Noumea. You can cover most of both cities on foot in an hour, but fire-walking, traditional villages and aquariums await those willing to travel farther out.

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny and Bennie discover a Hoppers Crossing hideaway … Between and among the culinary richesse of Watton Street at Werribee and Barkly Street at West Footscray, there are lots of Indian or curry restaurants hidden away in all sorts of places. In the case of this Hoppers Crossing find, it’s an offering – ostensibly – of Afghan food. On a cold week night, Woodville Park shopping centre presents a rather bleak prospect, but the glowing lights draw us in. The series of events that have brought us here – post-school volleyball, guitar lesson, traffic congestion – find us also with robust appetites, so we’re happy to be in a warm, cheap eatery. Given the location and lack of research, it’s a throw of the dice, but we are not disappointed. The place is done in typical, basic suburban ethnic, and we’re the only customers. But we are re-assured by the number of locals coming and going for takeaway – there is something worthwhile going on here. While we await our meal, we are greatly entertained, not only by the Bollywood music clips on the telly but even more by the cornball old-school adverts that accompany them. The pricing on the menu is attractive and there’s a range of the usual korma, kofta, vindaloo, masala and other curry dishes. But we choose the breads and kebab offerings. First, though, onion pakoras ($6) are rapidly devoured, a well-fried treat. Potato bolani naan ($5) is fantastic and almost a meal in itself. Garlic naan ($3) shows scant traces of garlic but is good, too.

KABUL KEBAB & CURRY HOUSE Address: Shop 12A Woodville Park Shopping Centre, 70 Warringa Crescent, Hoppers Crossing. Phone: 9749 0944 Instead of having to select from the kebab-tandoor line-up, we go straight for the “Sizzler Special” ($22). The menu says it consists of kebab items numbers one through six and comes with salad and dips. We’re not sure about that – and there are no dips. But we’re more than happy anyway. We’re not about to pretend this is the best or best-cooked meat of this kind we’ve had, but it does the job for us. The minced-lamb sheesh kebabs have a bit of a bitter flavour to them. The chunks of lamb kebab could be a bit more tender. But the chicken tikka pieces and two chook parts of tandoori chicken are really good. We’re happy to have paid only $36 for a satisfying meal.

Musical journey to inspire community I

t was a visit to a small town in South Australia that inspired Performing Arts Headquarters directors JohnPaul and Mai Pyin to build further on the musical journey they have planned for their community. “We’ve been running music, dance and drama classes – for students from two to 102 – but understood our next step was to provide access to the right musical equipment to help them on their way to further enjoyment, or even to head towards a career,” Mai Pyin said. “On our trip, we were impressed by this seemingly small town where every shop, café or boutique had a chic style – including the music school and shop. “We knew this was what we wanted to give to our own Bacchus Marsh community, so we opened our music shop in the foyer of one of the town’s landmark buildings, the Impresario Theatre.” The shop is chock full of musical treasures, from quality books to instruments and equipment. It’s the go-to place to find a gift for a budding musician, something special for an enthusiast or professional-standard equipment for industry veterans. JohnPaul and Mai Pyin are proud retailers for Yamaha Music Australia. “Our Yamaha Australia range includes upright pianos and pro drumkits, and we’re also the exclusive providers in western Victoria of Yamaha woodwind and brass instruments,” JohnPaul says. “We are very excited to be given this privilege and to know our customers will access the best.” JohnPaul believes their music shop can only spur on the richness of the culture already found on their turf.

Taste tested by the best A

ccolades for Ginger Club don’t get much better than this – Indian and West Indies cricket teams, during four international tours, have called owner Rajesh Wahi to request curry deliveries to the Melbourne Cricket Ground. “I’d head to the MCG, loaded up with curries, then hang out with the players in the dressing room and watch the match,” Rajesh says. “The Australian lacrosse team is another high-profile customer.” Now Ginger Club is proving it deserves serious foodie attention at Melton, having already won over The Age Good Food Guide (recommended as the best indian in Zone 2), which refers to Rajesh’s dishes as “some of the best Indian food in town”. A native of Delhi, Rajesh has already made an impression in his home country, the UK and New Zealand, along with eateries in Carlton and Fitzroy. It’s this breadth of experience that gives him the edge, he says, in serving what diners want – authentic, fresh, flavour-laden food. His clay tandoori oven from India pumps out some fine fare. Take, for example, his chicken malai tandoori, tender pieces in a cream cheese (malai) marinade and sauces, for $12.95. The tandoori prawns is another hit – they’re marinated overnight in yoghurt, ginger, garlic and ground herbs, then smoked over charcoal. The Ginger Club’s feast, $34.50 a person, is a great way to get a taste of India by sharing entree selections (think pakora, samosa), three different curries, daal, raita, rice and naan, along with a dessert, which could be a traditional celebratory gulab jamun (milk dumplings in rosewater syrup). If a good hit of chilli is desired, try the prawn vindaloo ($16), a fiery dish from Goa,

with freshly ground spices and potatoes. Another treat is the milder lamb palak ($15.90) in a thick spinach sauce blended with ginger and spices. And there’s a startling range of vegetarian dishes, breads (check out the pashawari naan, stuffed with dried fruits and nuts), rice and multiple side dishes.

Recommended by the Age as best Indian restaurant in Zone 2.

e’s a hot-rodder, so you’ll already know Daniel Stewart loves the thrum of a motor and the fine workings of a machine. This is why he’s now the owner of Melton Total Car Care, where he gets his hands dirty, keeps his mind ticking over and uses his skills to win customer approval. But, before he took over this 14-year-old business three months ago, Daniel worked with a large family firm that was bought by a public company. His time had come to an end there, but a long-time family friend gave him a chance to follow his real passion. “I bought the business from its founder, Jim Chapman,” says Daniel, “who wanted it to go to someone who would look after it the way he did … and that’s me.” Daniel has a crew around him who also loves cars. “This means we share the enthusiasm which, in turn, makes us strive to do the best job possible. The group shares a great eye for style, a mind for design and the need to pump out top-quality work. I know it might sound a cliché, but we really do look after customers’ cars like they’re our own.” Along with car servicing and maintenance, the business has a diverse service and product menu. • New mag wheels and tyres • Window tinting (home, office and vehicle) • Custom wrapping • Paint protection film • Detailing • Car rentals Daniel believes in delivering what has

ynesbury may be one of the newest towns in Victoria, but within its grey box forest milieu can be found Eynesbury Homestead, a magnificent double-storey bluestone built in the 1870s in the Georgian style. Today, it’s a restaurant, a community events hub, function venue, a weekend brekkie destination for locals and out-of-towners – and is finished off with a renowned golf course. Manager Frederic Blevin says this fantastic establishment plays an important role in town and further abroad. “We have the kind of place that people love to come to for a 9am to 11am weekend breakfast, lunch and dinner and bring their kids along,” says Frederic. “They love running around in the beautiful gardens. We also have a beer garden, the spot to enjoy our Sunday sessions with pumping live music – and a billiards room for the big kids, a fun gathering point in itself. “Our restaurant has plenty of options, from light snacks to substantial meals – and, of course, sweet treats to go with our coffee label of choice, the grand Dukes. “But it’s not just our great restaurant that draws people here. It’s the sense of neighbourliness that’s enjoyed, our special nights: Tuesday curry and trivia, Wednesday steak and poker and Thursday parma.” High tea is also proving popular – and what a perfect venue to indulge within, surrounded by history and in an atmosphere that speaks of a gracious past. And the same applies for holding a wedding or christening here, all catered for with personalised packages. A stunning setting combined with

Faster scans with the latest technology

Updated technology helps Lake Imaging keep service standards high. (supplied)

Top range CT scans come to Melton P

reviously known as Melton X-ray, Lake Imaging has been providing radiology services to the community for more than 20 years, the longest serving provider in the region. With a commitment to ensuring people in regional Victoria are not disadvantaged, from the beginning there has been a focus on providing the most professional services on the best equipment, including the installation of the first CT scanner in the region, ensuring that patients no longer needed to travel to Melbourne for their imaging.

Since its introduction, this scanner has been replaced by several versions of constantly improving technology. CT scans performed on equipment currently located at Lake Imaging take an average of 20 seconds per body region, and have a much lower radiation dose than previous generation scanners, which could take anywhere up to five minutes for one area of the body. Understanding the importance of making high quality imaging both accessible and affordable locally, in 2014 Lake Imaging commenced bulk-billing all patients referred

for CT imaging at its Melton, Sunbury and Caroline Springs practices. Maintaining this commitment to providing access to affordable, high quality imaging, the latest version of CT technology will be installed in Melton next month, providing patients with even faster scan times, as well as increasing the range of CT examinations available to Melton residents. Providing the largest range of services in Melton and surrounds, other imaging services available at Lake Imaging Melton include MRIs, nuclear medicine,

ultrasounds, echocardiography, mammography, bone densitometry, digital dental imaging and X-ray. A radiologist is on site five days a week to ensure that all imaging is reviewed, and results communicated to referring doctors as promptly as possible. Lake Imaging Melton, 103 Unitt Street, Melton.

aking into account the career history of Vincent Bartolo, it’s not surprising that he now owns a place where it’s a case of new-car technology meets old-school service values. Now 10-year owner of Auto Passion Bacchus Marsh, Vincent started out as a 15-year-old apprentice panel beater and, once he had the skills under his belt, travelled around Melbourne working at various smash shops. He learnt the ropes quickly because, by the time he was 20, he was working on prestige cars such as Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari and Mercedes Benz. This not only taught him the joy and intricacies of working on fine machines, but also gave him a taste for what would become a passion. But before that passion came into full bloom, he opened his own smash shop in Melbourne’s CBD at the age of 25, showing resourcefulness, dedication and a high level of customer service, qualities that still apply today. Vincent says restoring classic and prestige cars is the stuff of excitement, his passion. “I love the whole restoration thing,” he says. “Whether it’s roof chops, custom and candy painting, building chassis, customising wheel tubs, doing steel and fibreglass work or building a hot rod, it’s all really enjoyable. “And I have a great crew around me in the workshop, all highly trained in their own fields, and use all the latest technology.” Auto Passion works with all insurance companies, which enables smash repairs to be carried out quickly and have the customer back on the road as fast as

Innovative tax team on the move S

elf-confessed high achiever Rob Maslak has been steering his income tax and business accounting practice, Tax Concepts, for the past 12 years, helping clients with taxation and accounting processes that range from challenging to straightforward. He and his expert crew have done a good job because they’ve outgrown their old Melton premises and this month set up shop in Bakery Square. “The move was mainly to accommodate expanding accounting staff numbers, loan funding providers and a financial services team,” Rob says. “We’re still small enough to guarantee personalised service yet big enough to offer specialised advice.” His firm is young, pro-active and innovative – all essential in an increasingly complex world of finance. The team’s members undertake extensive professional development to keep their skills at the forefront of current standards and practices and, with Rob’s reputation for attention to detail, accurate and precise work is assured. “We focus on long-lasting client relationships,” Rob says. “With our business clients we aim for a business-coach approach. But everyone who comes through our door gets the same attention, from a one-person tradie’s business to the bigger end of town.” Loans, mortgages and equipment finance are available through Tax Concepts, as is a full suite of insurance services. Business and franchise start-ups have a lot to gain from this forward-thinking firm. “Wrong advice can be very costly,” Rob says. “We can help with the lot, from general tax advice and business plans to

A brand built on doing the best job A

drian Williams is a very focused kind of man. When he started with Godings – a landmark establishment on the Western Highway for the past 38 years – he spent lots of time learning his products, and even more time building a successful operation. That eight-year focus paid off. Adrian is now the new owner and group manager of Godings, and has a lot of confidence in where the business is heading. “I was, and am, committed to continuing our longstanding association with Kubota, the best machinery brand around,” says Adrian. “I want the name Kubota to spring to mind when people are looking to purchase the right bit of equipment for their needs. “Another confidence-builder is the team I have around me. Most stayed when I took over, and they’re very happy with the change. And they have such a good understanding of the local market, with most of them living locally as well. “We’re a small family operation, with an emphasis on customer service and, because I’m here every day, they have an immediate contact point, which enables us to respond quickly.” The Kubota label appears on most of the product range – excavators, compact track loaders, tractors, utility vehicles, mowers, generators and grounds-care equipment. Excavator buckets and attachments (including auger drive units), and a range of small-line implements from manufacturers such as Berti, Landpride, John Berends, Kanga, Silvan, Digga, Augertorque, are also in stock. “We’re planning to consolidate our relatively new excavator line, an important

string to our bow and one proving more and more popular with our customers.” When asked about the best aspects of his job, Adrian had no hesitation in responding. “It’s the customers we get to meet and the very impressive properties and rural locations we get to visit. There’s nothing better than, say, a plumber who’s just got his first new machine, and seeing him down

the track when he’s enthusiastically telling us how it’s significantly improved efficiency. “Or it might be a lifestyle customer, who might have just bought their first dream hobby farm, has never operated a tractor and can’t get the smile off their face the first time they slash a paddock.” This very focused man intends Godings to be the tractor and excavator destination of

choice … and all the right elements are in place to make sure Godings is exactly that place. Godings, 2129 Western Highway, Rockbank. Opens 8am-5pm Monday-Friday and 8am-noon Saturday. Inquiries: 9747 1359 or rockbank@godings.com.au

t could make a grown woman cry to hear that grandma’s ‘best frock’ and matching handbag had gone into landfill. Especially if that woman has a liking for other people’s cast-offs that she can transform into street-savvy cool. Payless Clothing in Ravenhall is set to be a treasure trove of recycled clothing when it opens its doors this week. But perhaps even a better reason to visit the big shop is that all proceeds have gone to the Spine and Limb Foundation for the past 21 years – and that continues. Manager Bryan Godfrey says customers will find

a great range of apparel and accessories in store, similar to the range found in the original Hoppers Crossing store which is still operating. “We are very selective in the quality of goods we sell,” he says. “We also stock shoes and handbags, another range lots of people like to browse. But it’s families who need clothes or toys for their children who find we really help when times are tough. “Or some families shop here because they believe in recycling principles. If we didn’t sell these things, they would wind

up in landfill so we’re also helping the environment.” Whatever the reason for purchasing at Payless Clothing, it’s good to know that the price of that lovely old plate on the bric-a-brac shelves or that chair ready for your porch goes toward helping many people through the Spine and Limb Foundation. “The foundation,” says Bryan, “is dedicated to supporting people with spinal cord paralysis sustained through injury or disease, and those with traumatic and genetic limb loss. It helps elderly people and

provides rehabilitation assistance to patients moving back into the community following discharge from hospital. “It also provides support, information, advice and advocacy services to help people with a disability share in community life.” Payless Clothing has donation bins around Melbourne and provides a door-to-door collection service.

Taking action for mums and bubs L

ast month, Dr Rachel Carling-Jenkins MP succeeded in her push to establish a Victorian parliamentary inquiry into the current situation relating to the health, care and wellbeing of mothers and babies in Victoria during the perinatal period. This period is generally defined as starting from as early as the 20th week of gestation until up to four weeks after birth. The Family and Community Development Committee will undertake an inquiry that will look into: • The impact of the loss of commonwealth funding (especially to the National Perinatal Depression Initiative); • The adequacy of the number, location, distribution, quality and safety of health services capable of dealing with high-risk and premature births; • Disparity in outcomes between rural, regional and metropolitan locations; • The availability, quality and safety of health services; • Access to and provision of an appropriately qualified workforce of midwives, paediatricians, obstetricians, lactation consultants and other relevant specialists across Victoria, and, • Identification of best practice. Dr Carling-Jenkins is pleased Victoria’s Health Minister Jill Hennessy has fully supported this move, as did the Victorian branch of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation. In Australia, the number of babies dying at birth or in the first 28 days of life is greater than our national road toll. In 2012, there were almost 3000 perinatal deaths in Australia. When viewed alongside Victoria’s baby boom, we can see that this is a serious issue that warrants our attention.

Parliamentary inquiry: mother and baby wellbeing

Wyndham, Melton and Hume have all been identified as baby-boom areas. It was reported that, during one particular week, 15 babies were born in a 24-hour period at the Werribee Mercy Hospital. While this was extraordinary, on average five babies are born at the hospital every single day. In the 2014–15 financial year, more than 3000 babies were delivered at this hospital. This financial year it will be close to 4000. This is a substantial increase. With rapid growth in the birth-rate in these areas, systemic capacity has become

an issue. Hospitals including Sunshine Hospital and the Werribee Mercy are at risk of not having the right facilities and resources to deal with the increase in demand. The inquiry will investigate and make recommendations to address these issues. Dr Carling-Jenkins has visited hospitals, held discussions with doctors, nurses and mothers, and reviewed the academic literature on this issue. It is very clear an inquiry is needed to address a range of issues, gaps, deficiencies and disparities

to ensure all Victorian mothers and their babies receive nothing less than world’s best practice during the perinatal period. Dr Rachel Carling-Jenkins, Suite 3, 1-13 Watton Street, Werribee.

Leave racing for horses, police warn V

ictoria Police will be out in force over the Melbourne Cup weekend, with Operation Furlong running from Friday, October 30, until Tuesday, November 3. Road policing advisor Senior Sergeant Ross Burbidge said Operation Furlong will be conducted throughout Victoria by all operational police in all police areas over the five days, using all available personnel from local highway patrol units, general duties police and other units. The major focus for the operation will be speed, fatigue, impaired driving (drug and alcohol), mobile phone offences and seatbelt compliance. Motorists will be aware of police units in marked and unmarked vehicles targeting major arterial roads over this holiday weekend. Traffic camera vehicles will also be rostered on roads known for high collision rates. The aim, in addition to detecting offences, is to provide a highly visible and mobile police presence to reinforce positive driving behaviours and reduce the incidence of road trauma. “It has been demonstrated time after time,” Senior Sergeant Burbidge explains, “that speed is a contributing factor in most road crashes. Therefore, stay within the speed limit and drive to suit the conditions.” Speeding affects both the risk of a crash and the severity of injuries sustained when a crash does happen. RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council chairman Jim Giddings says road trauma isn’t just about the people who die. “It’s about the enormous impact on the community, from the family members and emergency services workers, who have

to deal with these tragedies on a daily basis, to the police who have to deliver the devastating news to loved ones,” Mr Giddings says. Drivers are urged to plan their trips, be patient and ensure they have frequent breaks when driving long distances. Mr Giddings said holiday driving has its special challenges, and motorists should

drive in the hours they are normally awake, take regular breaks to reduce fatigue and allow extra space between vehicles. They need to adapt to the conditions of the road – the onus is always on the driver to suit the conditions they are facing, and that includes the quality of the road. “If you plan to have a drink, then plan not to drive. Taking a big risk like drinking and

driving is just not worth endangering your or other road users’ lives,” Mr Giddings warns. “And before embarking on any driving trips, drivers should check their tyres, windscreen washers, brakes and lights. “Be prepared and stay safe.” Report speeding drivers to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

66 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ OCTOBER 27, 2015

SPORT Lake plays on for love not money Three weeks ago, he was at the MCG playing in front of 100,000 fans to celebrate his third successive premiership with Hawthorn Football Club. Now Brian Lake has arrived at the next stage of his football journey and is chomping at the bit to get stuck into it. In one of the biggest local football signings of the off-season, Lake last week put pen to paper with Western Region Football League side Caroline Springs. He’s expected to play between six and 10 home and away matches for the club next season. “Coming back to local football wasn’t about the money, it’s about helping a club that I care about to succeed,” Lake told Star Weekly. “I have known myself for the past couple of years that, when I did finish AFL football, I would come across and play for Caroline Springs. “I think we have the most sides from a junior

point of view in the league. It’s exciting that we can get bigger and better and continue to grow as a club and help the community as much as possible.” Caroline Springs finished fifth in the WRFL’s division 2 this year. Lake’s signing instantly propels the Lakers into conversation as a premiership contender next season. Club officials have not hidden their long-term goal to earn promotion into division 1 in coming seasons, and their approach is “the sooner the better”. Lake enjoyed an incredible career at AFL level, which began with him being drafted to the Western Bulldogs at pick number 71 in 2001. He went on to play 197 games for the Dogs and won the club’s best and fairest award in 2007. Lake was also named in the All Australian team as a defender in 2009 and 2010. His career hit another level when he was traded to the Hawks for the 2013 season. Famously, he played in three premierships with

them and was awarded the Norm Smith Medal in his first grand final. Lake said the success of the past few years still hadn’t fully hit home. “It won’t sink in until I’m old, fat and sitting at a bar one day and speaking to other people about it. I have definitely enjoyed myself over the past few weeks, so I probably need to pull that back a little bit. “I’ve spoken to the coach and preseason starts November 16. I might still be on holidays but, hopefully, he can be a little bit lighter on me before Christmas. “We will hopefully have a good year next year in division 2 and then strive to get to division 1 as soon as we can.” Lake is well known at the Lakers. The 33-year-old’s two sons play in the juniors and he was on the selection committee that helped pick new senior head coach Scott Korczynski. Liam Twomey

Sports shorts Sub district cricket

Melton secured its first win of the Victorian Sub District cricket season, defeating Sunshine by four wickets at the weekend. Having been set 112 for victory, the Lions’ batsmen were led by coach Michael Alexander, who blasted 57. He combined with first drop Anthony Gale for a 70-run partnership, which all but sealed the victory. Having reached 1-84, there were a few nervous moments for Melton, which lost 5-32. The result, however, was never in danger thanks to some handy lower- order runs from Jeremy Liddy and wicketkeeper Jake Thornton-Gielen. The Lions went on to reach 8-160 before stumps were called. The Lions look to continue their winning form this week when they take on Caulfield. Sunshine will be wanting to secure its first win of the season against Moorabbin.

Ballarat A-grade cricket

Darley continues to establish itself as a genuine premiership contender in the Ballarat Cricket A-grade competition. After knocking off last year’s premiers, Brown Hill, in round one, the Lions are in a commanding position against 2014-15 finalist Wendouree. After winning the toss and batting first, Darley made 7-241. Doug Hawkins will return to Bacchus Marsh to coach the under-18 side next year. (Michael Dodge/Getty Images)

Hawk back with Cobras By Liam Twomey AFL legend Doug Hawkins is returning to Bacchus Marsh to coach the Cobras’ under-18 side in 2016. The 55-year-old, who played 329 games for Western Bulldogs and 21 for Fitzroy, has previously coached junior and senior sides at Bacchus Marsh. He led the under-16s to a premiership in 2011, and three members of that team were selected at last year’s AFL national draft. Liam Duggan joined West Coast, Dillon Viojo-Rainbow was taken by Carlton, and Brenton Payne went to St Kilda. Hawkins then led the Bacchus Marsh senior side for two years, finishing up at the end of the 2013 season. Cobras president Adam Sutherland said

regaining Hawkins was a coup for the club. “Doug has amazing coaching credentials in junior football and has the score on the board with the under-16 premiership side he coached,” Sutherland said. “I think all the boys love having Doug as coach. “We think we have a really good crop of under-18s and he seems like the perfect fit for them. “Preparing the boys for senior football is one of Doug’s biggest strengths. The other thing is he’s great at getting boys to enjoy their football.” Bacchus Marsh is hoping Hawkins’ appointment will further strengthen its homegrown junior push. The Cobras have been preparing for next year’s statewide player points cap for some

time and has made a point of promoting young talent from within. Sutherland expects the 2016 senior side to run out each week with at least 15 home-grown players. They will be led by first-year coach Travis Hodgson, who replaced Cameron Richardson. Hodgson joins the Cobras from Northern Football League club Fitzroy Stars. “Travis has started off really well,” Sutherland said. “We did our homework before appointing him. “Everything we heard about and his preparation … we couldn’t have asked for more. “He’s a great guy, he has met all our players already, he has spoken to numerous recruits and has organised pre-season camps. “We’re just rapt to have him on board.”

GDCA A-grade

Bacchus Marsh recovered from a horror start to post a competitive score on day one of its Gisborne District Cricket A-grade clash against Woodend. Batting first, the Bulls slipped to 6-38 before a lower-order fightback saved the innings. A vital 71 from Tom McColl and 31 from Jake Powell helped Bacchus Marsh reach 150 before being bowled out in the 60th over. In reply, Woodend is 3-42, requiring another 109 runs for victory when play resumes. Also in the GDCA, Diggers Rest Bulla is in the box seat to knock off Sunbury United. Having been set just 97 for victory, Diggers Rest is 3-48. First XI captain Rhys Berry is on six, while Mark Jackson is the other not out batsman.

Bowlers taking time to gel

Caroline Springs Cricket Club has a heap of family spirit. (Damian Visentini))

Father-son partnerships By Liam Twomey While plenty of sports clubs claim to be familyfocused, few have the sort of runs on the board that could match Caroline Springs Cricket Club. In round two of the Williamstown District Cricket season, the Lakers had brothers Nicholas and Christopher Vulic lining up side by side in A grade. In the second XI, father-son duo Darren and Jerome Arandez lined up, and in the thirds Troy Blackman played with his three sons,

And when, in fifth-grade, Stefan Vulic made his senior debut, his father Zelko marked the occasion by pulling on the whites to play with him.

Springs. One of the main goals for the club’s committee is to have the senior and junior squads as closely aligned as possible. “We are very much a family-oriented club,” Collins said. “All our functions, all our get-togethers, everything we do has a family feel to it. Our presentation nights are juniors and seniors combined so we can get all the families there.” On the field, Caroline Springs has made a hot start to the WDCA A-grade season with a round one smashing of Melton South.

Melton is aiming to set up its Bowls Victoria season in the next month. The club has taken time to adjust to the new division 1 season and occupies seventh spot with a 2-2 record. After the top side made finals last year, Melton Bowls Club secretary John Adams is confident of an imminent upswing. Adams said it had taken time for new recruits and existing players to gel, but he expects Melton will be back to its best soon. “We’re still making minor changes to the rinks to try and get the right combinations. It’s just a matter of doing that and getting the confidence up.” Melton took the first steps to regaining form at the weekend with a 19-shot win against Altona. In the next three weeks, Melton will take on ninth-placed Moonee Ponds, sixth-placed Werribee and third-placed Preston-Reservoir. Although they’ve come off a finals run, Adams said there were no illusions that the 2015-16 season would be a step-up in class. Melton has been drawn against competition powerhouses Altona Sports, Werribee, Moonee Valley and Glenroy this season. “There are a lot of powerful sides in it, but that doesn’t bother us. Our aim is to avoid relegation first and then try to make the finals.”

MOTOR Mustang fronts new-look Ford The changing of the guard at Ford Australia has begun with production of the right-hand-drive Mustang at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan as part of the iconic car’s first-ever global launch. As well as being a post-Falcon muscle car option for Australia, the Mustang will be available to customers in more than 100 markets around the world – including those where motorists drive on the left side of the road. More than 3000 orders have already been received in Australia, shattering pre-arrival sales expectations. Four hundred orders have been received in New Zealand. Meanwhile, Ford Australia has launched the smaller, updated Focus, emphasising its involvement with its design and development. With all vehicle production in Australia to cease next year, the company thinks it important to show Australian car buyers that it will be very much alive and well in the years to come. Ford officially opened its new national sales company office in Richmond last month as part of new infrastructure investments that add to the company’s R&D spending of more than $300 million locally this year alone. The company has established its Asia

Pacific Product Development Centre at Broadmeadows. This will be capped by internal refurbishment of the head office building next year. The updated office will accommodate the country’s only automotive product development team capable of fully developing vehicles and continuing to work on high-quality vehicle programs for Australia, Asia-Pacific and other parts of the world. Recent examples include the Ranger 4WD and the “new Focus”, which is actually an extensive facelift of the current model first released in 2011. The other car that will lead Ford’s post-Falcon era in Australia is the Mondeo, which is expected to be the company’s main offering as a family car. Ironically, despite its success overseas, the dominance of the Falcon in Australia meant Mondeo was never going to be more than a bit player. Indeed it dropped out of the local market altogether between 1999 and its return with greater success in 2007. The popular Australian-built Territory SUV will be replaced by the “all-new” Ford Everest, which is due for its launch here in November. While not being assembled here, it is Australian-designed and engineered. – with Marque Automotive News
