Still feeding hungry fans When the fans speak, the music world listens. And when they released the first single after a 20-year break in 2013, the fans spoke loudly.

The single, Email, was quickly followed up by the album This Is Not The End, which soared to the top of the ARIA charts and generated a response from an army of hungry fans wanting more.

Baby Animals delivered with a whirlwind round of TV, radio and press appearances, festival shows and a huge national tour in 2014.

Band members Suze DeMarchi (vocals), Mick Skelton (drums, percussion), Dave Leslie (guitar) and Dario Bortolin (bass) also released This Is Not The End – Fully Loaded Deluxe Edition, featuring live versions of the band’s biggest ’90s hits including One Word, Early Warning Warning, Rush You and Painless – the anthems that kept their debut album in the number one spot for 16 weeks in 1992 and delivered eight platinum sales and five ARIA awards.

The band’s list of achievements includes ARIA chart awards such as best album and best debut album for Baby Animals, best group, best single for Early Warning and best new act. Suze was also inducted into the West Australian Music Industry Hall of Fame.

And Baby Animals has no intention of slowing down. With more albums and tours in the works they plan to continue feeding their hungry fans for years to come.

Jason Singh’s Taxiride to fame

White Summer turns up the heat

Front man of Aussie band Taxiride, Jason Singh is also a successful solo artist and has recently released his critically-acclaimed debut album, Hummanequin. Taxiride became a sensation after testing their demos on the unsuspecting public in a friend’s taxi – hence the name. The band played countless sold-out shows and produced two Top 5 ARIA platinum selling albums and six Top 40 ARIA charting singles, including Get Set, Everywhere You Go, and Creepin’ Up Slowly.

A few years ago, two young lads made a decision to pack their bags and move from the picturesque coastal hinterland of Phillip Island to busy Melbourne. In the bright lights, Jimmy Stanfield and Michael Barnsley met Anthony and Alex Zielke. This talented foursome has since exploded onto the music scene as White Summer.

With Jimmy on lead vocals, Michael on guitar, Anthony on bass guitar and Alex on drums, they’ve had a massive 12 months of gigs, sharing their blues rock sounds with a fast-growing fan base.

Since the release of their latest single Smoke Screen in June, the boys have been busy recording a new extended play, What I’ve Been Waiting For For, with producer Burke Reid at Grove Studios in New South Wales. They then took off on a winter tour around Australia performing shows in Victoria, NSW and Queensland.

Songs such as Head in the Sand, I Know a Place We Can Love are just the start from this exciting new rock band.

Mark Gable: a Choirboy with a rock soul As the lead singer of Australian rock band, Choirboys, Mark Gable has been entertaining fans for 30 years. With much-loved hits such as Run To Paradise, Boys Will Be Boys, Struggle Town, Guilty and Never Gonna Die, the iconic Choirboys have multi-platinum albums and epitomise the essence of Australian pub culture.

(Joe Mastroianni)

Family first for Elsie Elsie Coote just celebrated her 100th birthday and puts down her longevity to having family around her.

Ms Coote celebrated her centenary year at the Melton Country Club at the weekend.

One of nine children, she has always been family-oriented and says having such a wonderful family has enabled her to live a long and happy life.

Ms Coote has lived in Melton for 45 years and is well travelled with favourite holiday memories of England, where she was born, and America.

She worked in various places, including the old Melton hospital, looking after the matron’s headquarters.

Ms Coote names her greatest achievement as her family – two sons, seven grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

She says cooking and knitting had been her two favourite hobbies. “My favourite meal to cook was roast, although I don’t cook any more.”

One of her favourite memories involves jumping on her husband’s motorbike when she was just 18, and she still remembers their weekly Sunday morning rides by the seaside.

Although Ms Coote has many memories from England, she says her family was much better off coming to Australia.

Mobile win for Blackwood

By Sumeyya Ilanbey A hard-fought campaign for mobile phone coverage at Blackwood is finally making headway with Moorabool council last week granting Telstra a planning permit to build a tower in the town.

Earlier this year, Blackwood was named as one of several areas to be allocated federal government funding from the mobile blackspot program.

The town had previously been identified by the state government as an area at high risk of bushfire.

Telstra won the rights to build the mobile

phone tower, estimated to cost about $200 million, with almost half to come from the federal government.

Telstra’s general manager for south-western Victoria, Bill Mundy, said the telco was thrilled to be able to alleviate long-held community concerns in the Blackwood area.

“We have to remember the community has been lobbying for improved mobile phone coverage in Blackwood for many, many years,” he said.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have the announcement by federal government, but it’s an even bigger thrill that we’ve got the planning permit through.”

BUY DIRECT FROM MANUFACTURER

Mr Mundy said construction would start as soon as possible, and he hoped the tower would be finished before the end of the fire season.

“It’s a heavily vegetated area,” Mr Mundy said.

“So, certainly, mobile coverage added to that community is going to help that community in their ability to communicate should an emergency arise at some stage.”

He said Telstra had been working with the community for several years with the view of building a tower in Blackwood, but it had proved economically unviable.

Council chief executive Rob Croxford said Blackwood was the first Victorian town to

have a mobile phone tower approved under the blackspot program.

“Fundamentally, [mobile phone coverage] is a service that should be available to anyone,” Mr Croxford said. “But if there’s a fire in Blackwood, how are you going to alert people – particularly tourists?”

Mr Croxford said the council was pleased the investment was going into the regional town to accommodate for its growing population.

The mobile phone tower will be built at 35 Byers Road, near the Blackwood cemetery.

Moorabool towns Ballan, Elaine and Greendale have also been identified as locations in need of better mobile phone coverage.

Tower dispute heads to VCAT

By Sumeyya Ilanbey

aps and Taylors Hill residents are continuing their fight models against a mobile phone tower close to their ll behomes. on The campaign vow follows Vodafone’s decision to take Melton council to the Victorian display Civil and Administrative Tribunal after the telco was denied a permit.

Earlier this year, Star Weekly revealed plans by construction company Daly International, representing Vodafone and Optus, to erect a 25-metre mobile phone tower at a reserve commonly known as the Melbourne water tank reserve.

Similar plans for the reserve by Orange and Telstra were defeated in 2001 and 2005.

Melton council refused Daly International a permit to erect a mobile phone tower following 53 objections to the application, along with a petition with 134 signatures.

But last month, residents received a letter from law firm K&L Gates, representing Vodafone, about an application lodged at VCAT to review Melton council’s refusal for a planning permit. \ \ Resident Stavroula Singh, who has been spearheading the campaign against the tower, said she was “frustrated” but not shocked Vodafone would take the matter to the tribunal.

“I know residents are concerned and we are looking at what our options are in terms of the case going to VCAT,” Ms Singh said. “[Vodafone] has the right to take it further, but it’s definitely frustrating that we’re having to again show why we think this location is not suitable.”

Ms Singh said residents were not opposed to a mobile phone tower in Taylors Hill but were worried about the proximity of the proposed location to residential homes.

The site plan submitted by Vodafone to Melton council showed the proposed site for the tower was behind numbers 23 and 25 on Timele Drive.

A Vodafone spokeswoman said “extensive” site selection processes were carried out and the proposed location was found to be the “most suitable in order to improve mobile services”.

“The Melton area has one of the highest rankings in Australia for complaints to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman for poor mobile coverage, and we’re committed to improving services for local residents and businesses,” she said.

A VCAT hearing has been set for 10am on March 31, 2016.

People wanting to make a submission to council or VCAT must do so before Tuesday, November 10.

Three wounded as shots ring out A quiet street in Kurunjang has been rocked by a shooting on Friday night that has left a man fighting for his life.

One man, in his 20s, was shot and two others hospitalised following a brawl.

Police say four men were involved in an altercation in Dalray Crescent about 11pm.

It appears the man who was shot in the upper body had been trying to jump-start a vehicle in the street.

Resident Rachael Fino was in bed with her 10-year-old daughter, Hayley, when they heard two gunshots.

“We had a look through the window and we could see a lot of people yelling,” she said. “Probably about six people yelling and screaming and carrying on. There was a body down under a tree … the guy was pretty badly wounded.

“By that stage I saw someone run down the street with a stick and he was yelling out, ‘Call triple-0, help, help, the other guy’s got a gun’.”

Another resident, Kristy, who asked that her last name not be used, said she heard gunshots and went outside.

“As I opened the door, two guys were running,” she said. “They were just here saying, ‘Call triple-0, call triple-0’ … it looked like they were starting to come up this way.

“I slammed my door, locked it and my back door, and ran to my kids.”

Elizabeth Cassar said she heard two loud shots and screaming.

“I ran out to see what was going on when I heard somebody say something similar to, ‘I’ve been shot’ or ‘You’re shooting at me’ … that’s when I ran inside and called the police,” she said. “After that we heard some screaming. I saw a guy walk this way. I’m assuming he was one of the attackers.

“When I came out, there’s two cars parked there. One had the bonnet up. We don’t know them, we’ve never seen them before.”

Armed crime detectives say two of the men produced a firearm and hammer.

The Kurunjang man who was shot remains at

Ten Victorian students will be given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a country so pivotal to Australia’s military history – Vietnam.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, the group of 10 will visit Australia’s key battle sites as well as places of historic significance in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

Melton MP Don Nardella encouraged year 10 and 11 students in his electorate to apply for a spot on the state governmentsponsored nine-day study tour that will shine a light on a war that divided the nation.

About 60,000 Australian ground troops, air force and navy personnel served in Vietnam, and 521 were killed.

“When entering the competition, students are asked to explore the topics of the ‘controversial Vietnam war’ and the issues that prompted debate amongst a nation,” Mr Nardella said.

“The 13-year war was set against a backdrop of divided public opinion over conscription and the use of chemical and guerrilla warfare. The Vietnam War was the first to be played out on television.”

Students can make written submissions or enter craft or audio visual projects.

Entries close on Saturday, March 27, next year.

Teachers wishing to secure a chaperone position are also encouraged to apply.

The study group will travel in September 2016. For more information, visit vvaavic. org.au

Another Kurunjang man, in his 50s, was taken to Footscray Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. A 27-year-old man was taken to the same hospital with assault-related injuries and is assisting police with their inquiries.

A man aged in his 20s is also assisting police.

Investigators are appealing for witnesses – call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Paper leads talk on dying

Mayoral teams settle in

By Sumeyya Ilanbey Cambridge ward councillor Kathy Majdlik has been elected unopposed as the new mayor of Melton, with Cr Renata Cugliari as her deputy.

Cr Cugliari nominated Cr Majdlik for the role at the statutory council meeting last Tuesday. Cr Majdlik nominated Cr Cugliari for deputy mayor. They seconded each other’s nominations. There were no other nominations.

Cr Majdlik served as deputy mayor from 2008-10 before becoming mayor in 2012-13.

“I believe a great leader has the heart of a servant and I intend to lead by example and serve with integrity so this council can achieve the best outcomes for the whole community,” she said.

“We need to ensure we continue to be innovative and think outside the box in the way we deliver services and provide much-needed infrastructure for our residents.”

Outgoing mayor Cr Sophie Ramsey thanked her fellow councillors, the executive team and community groups for their “staunch” support in her year as mayor.

“The community groups, volunteers, businesses … the people have come out, supported me, come to our monthly meetings, challenged our decisions but also given us the respect to continue to work with us to make that incredible difference,” she said.

“You are the backbone of this community; you are the fabric that makes the city of Melton great.

“I can’t thank each and every one of you enough.

“I’m not going anywhere yet.”

Melton council meetings will be held on Monday nights for the next year.

Meanwhile, Cr Allan Comrie will serve as Moorabool’s mayor for 2015-16 with outgoing mayor Cr Paul Tatchell as his deputy.

Cr Comrie was nominated by Cr David Edwards and seconded by councillors John Spain and Pat Toohey.

“I’d like to thank my fellow councillors,” Cr Comrie said after his election.

“It’s a real honour to be the mayor of the shire . . . and I really have hard shoes to follow. “[Cr Tatchell] has done a fantastic job for Moorabool in the past two years.”

Although three-quarters of Australians with an illness would like to die at home, only 14 per cent do so.

And people are being urged to have their say about the type of services they would like to have at the end of their, and their loved ones’, lives.

A discussion paper, Greater Say for Victorians: Improving End of Life Care, has been released and consultation involving health professionals, carers and community members will be undertaken in coming months to develop a new statewide end-of-life-care framework.

Melton MP Don Nardella said more and more people wanted to be cared for in their own homes by family and friends at the end of their lives.

“Even though it’s a very difficult topic, it’s important families and the wider community talk openly and honestly about end-of-life care,” Mr Nardella said.

The discussion paper will look at ways to strengthen the end-of-life-care framework to enable choice; support individuals, families and carers; respond to diversity; “help people to die well” and support the workforce.

“Lack of opportunities or capacity to talk about and plan for death is one of the most significant barriers to improving end-of-life care,” the paper states.

The paper can be found at betterendoflife.vic.gov.au. Submissions will be accepted until Friday, December 18. For a hard copy, call 9096 1337.

The entire board was last week formally sacked at the Bacchus Marsh hospital where seven baby deaths in two years are being investigated.

The eight board members of the Djerriwarrh Health Services were given until earlier this month to plead their case.

Last Thursday, Health Minister Jill Hennessy said she had met with all the board members but nothing had persuaded her that they should stay on.

“This is one of the greatest clinical governance failures that we’ve seen in the Victorian health system,” Ms Hennessy told reporters.

Dr John Ballard, former chief executive of Mercy Health, has been appointed administrator.

Andrew Freeman has been appointed chief executive.

Ms Hennessy said there were “no financial consequences” for the government terminating the board’s tenure.

In March, an analysis by the Consultative Council on Obstetric and Paediatric Mortality and Morbidity found the death rate at the Bacchus Marsh Hospital was higher than average.

It also showed that the hospital’s practices may have contributed to seven infant deaths over two years.

“I would like to see accountability for those that have contributed to some of the most devastating outcomes for families,” Ms Hennessy said. She said the hospital was supposed to accommodate low-risk

‘‘

[This] has had life-changing consequences with devastating impacts

’’

- Jill Hennessy births. “Very sadly it didn’t and that has had life-changing consequences with devastating impacts for too many families.”

Medical negligence lawyers say dozens of people have contacted them about their care at the hospital since news of the scandal broke earlier this month.

A spokeswoman for Maurice Blackburn said they had received 52 inquiries from people who felt they had received poor care at the hospital.

Anne Shortall, of Slater and Gordon, would not say exactly how many people the firm had heard from, but she said they had received many inquiries, including some from people about obstetric and gynaecological treatment at other hospitals in regional Victoria.

“The inquiries we have received are wide-ranging in terms of type of injury sustained and timeframe, with some reports of poor treatment and injury dating back more than a decade,” she said.

Dr Ballard said the booking list at the hospital was now “very well filled”.

However, he confirmed some women had cancelled plans to give birth at the hospital.

Dr Ballard said the hospital was seeking a new head of obstetrics.

Film focus for west A smartphone and a laptop – that’s all you need to shoot and edit a great quality movie.

But some extra help can be had at WestWorld FilmFest’s filmmaking workshops for western suburbs young people aged 12 to 25.

The workshops will cover camera and lighting techniques, editing, sound recording, animation, screen acting and special effects.

The workshops culminate with a short film screening and competition, with categories including best film and Vine or music video, and a chance to win cash prizes, Adobe Creative Cloud licences, and training through filmmaking schools Labspace and Open Channel.

Melton councillor Sophie Ramsey is encouraging aspiring filmmakers to attend the workshops and get a taste of the industry.

“This is an exciting opportunity for young filmmakers in Melbourne’s west to gain the skills and experience to make their own short movie,” she said.

“It will be a fantastic and completely free program.”

Competition entry is free but entries must be between five seconds and five minutes long.

Prizes will be awarded only to films that include the WestWorld FilmFest’s signature object – a fence. The deadline for entries is Monday, April 11.

For more information about the competition and the workshops, which will be held at Taylors Hill Youth and Community Centre, email yse@melton.vic.gov.au.

History yields a hero

By Sumeyya Ilanbey

The Horrocks Shield is awarded to brigades or members who have saved lives – not necessarily in fires. It has been awarded 14 times since 1918.

On April 29, 1944, Mr Spargo was out fishing at the Werribee River near Eynesbury, when he saved the life of Terence Shields, who had fallen into a nine-metre-deep well.

A Bendigo firefighter was the last member to be awarded the shield – in 1974.

starweekly.com.au 1205431-HM45-15 10033645-02

Seventy-one years ago, Bacchus Marsh firefighter Gus Spargo saved the life of teenager Terence Shields and was later given a Country Fire Authority lifesaving award.

At the Bacchus Marsh brigade’s annual awards night in September, the heroic firefighter was remembered with a replica of the award, the Horrocks Shield, handed to the

station by the CFA. In a twist of fate, Mr Shields’ nephew – and current brigade member – Jason McMillan was on hand for the presentation.

“I was chuffed [that] there was a deeper connection with myself and the fire brigade,” Mr McMillan said.

“A piece of the puzzle has been solved.

“I knew the shield was kept at the Fiskville site, but I didn’t know the relationship with Gus and my uncle,” he said.

Training ban on food business

By Sumeyya Ilanbey A Bacchus Marsh food business has been disqualified from hiring apprentices following a state government investigation into low-quality training.

The Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) visited 76 food sector employers, including takeaway food stores, fish and chip shops, sushi and noodle bars and bakeries, to see whether 152 apprentices studying commercial cookery were being properly supervised and trained.

Subsequently, 45 employers were disqualified from hiring apprentices and 93 training contracts between employers and apprentices were cancelled, including 29 voluntary cancellations.

While 38 of the employers were in metropolitan Melbourne, seven were from regional Victoria – Avoca, Bacchus Marsh, Echuca, Kilmore, Shepparton, Traralgon and Wallan.

Some of the problems identified by the VRQA included poor supervision of apprentices, inappropriate work tasks or facilities and apprentices not being released or paid to attend formal training.

VRQA’s report into the investigation stated employees needed to provide “appropriate supervision, work and equipment” to support their apprentices.

“It is generally not appropriate for commercial cookery apprentices to be employed in a takeaway or fast-food setting, or a business that produces a narrow range of foods,” the report

states. “This is because the work provided does not support apprentices to gain all of the required skills and experiences.”

A number of registered training organisations, some of which are funded by government, are currently being examined by the Education and Training Department after being identified in the investigation.

‘‘

There is no place . . . for organisations who take advantage - Steve Herbert

’’

Victorian Training and Skills Minister Steve Herbert said the apprentices caught up in the investigation were able to continue their apprenticeships with different employers approved to employ apprentices.

“There is no place in the Victorian training system for registered training organisations who take advantage of small businesses by tricking them into signing up apprentices,” Mr Herbert said.

Following the revelations of the investigation, the VRQA will conduct further authorised officer visits to food stores, work with other agencies, including state and federal government regulators and provide information for employers and apprentices.

VRQA has produced a plain-English ‘employer checklist’ and ‘know your rights and responsibilities’ videos.

Message has bite Staughton College students are sending a loud and clear message to their community: there’s no room for violence.

As part of Community West’s Love Bites workshop, year 9-10 students last week explored what constitutes violence and sexual assault and produced a “creative response” to the issue.

More than 100,000 high school students throughout Australia have joined the interactive program. Its western-Melbourne region co-ordinator Danielle Whelan said the key message on the day was that violence was

never the right choice. “The program addresses specific situations young people encounter, including social media and the internet,” Ms Whelan said. “Prevention is key to combating violence against women, and Love Bites has proved highly successful in educating young people about the importance of respectful relationships.” Year 10 student Gemma painted thought-provoking words on a cardboad sheet as part of last Friday’s workshop.

Masseur jailed for 24 assaults

By Steve Butcher A Bacchus Marsh masseur who turned sexual predator and assaulted numerous female clients aged from 16 to their 60s has been denounced as a manipulative exploiter of vulnerable women.

A County Court judge said last week that Ronald Van Dorp’s 24 victims included two women who had had breast cancer, another who had suffered a miscarriage and one who had experienced the death of a family member.

Judge Felicity Hampel said that, for many, a massage was a “treat, a precious bit of time or opportunity to relax and indulge themselves” but these women had fallen victim to Van Dorp’s “predatory, exploitative behaviour”.

Judge Hampel told Van Dorp, 62, he had sexually assaulted the women at the massage business he ran from his home.

A jury earlier found him guilty of 26 charges of indecent assault against 15 women and acquitted him of nine identical charges.

Van Dorp, married with two adult children, told the court there was no genital contact and if there had been it was inadvertent.

After the verdicts, the prosecution discontinued some charges and Van Dorp then pleaded guilty to offences against another seven women and to charges of digital rape against two others.

Judge Hampel jailed him on all charges to a maximum term of eight years and four months, with a minimum of five years and 10 months.

In her sentencing remarks, Judge Hampel noted that 15 of the women were cross-examined at a committal hearing and

again at trial so their credibility and reliability were challenged.

But after the verdicts, Van Dorp told a clinical psychologist some offending started “by accident” and it was “like a dare to see if they would move their hand and what they were thinking. It was like they didn’t care”.

‘‘

Women were victims of predatory, exploitative behaviour - Judge Hampel

’’

Given that Van Dorp told the psychologist that in the trial he saw the “pain and suffering most of the victims had been through” and did not want to make it more difficult for the remaining victims, Judge Hampel felt there was a “breathtaking hypocrisy about this”.

She also felt it was difficult to avoid the conclusion he was prepared to take a “gamble” on the women not being believed, but having lost he sought to minimise his “losses” by pleading guilty to the remaining charges.

People who wrote “impressive” character references for him had all expressed surprise at the offending, while Judge Hampel regarded his public persona “at odds with the sexual predator you were with your victims”.

She said his wife had been “remarkably loyal” to him “in the face of what must be a terrible betrayal” and that she and their children continued to support him.

Lesley and Robert Sands are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. (Shawn Smits)

Love sealed on Cup Day

Ronald and Lesley Sands’ love story started in the summer ’49.

Countless family holidays, a trip to the US, four children, 10 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren later, the Melton couple will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary at a low-key lunch this week.

The Sands married on a fine Melbourne Cup Day, November 7, in 1950.

Price: Contact agent

Backing on to the 11th hole of the golf course, this contemporary house is typical of its neighbours in terms of quality and class.

It’s a house a young family will relish, especially when harnessed to the lifestyle Eynesbury delivers, with a focus on sport and community.

It’s a vibrant new town with a bluestone homestead where weekend breakfasts are quite the thing, as are social occasions such as parma and trivia nights.

Private sale

Looking smart as paint, the house has white décor with touches of soft grey and mocha through to deepest charcoal accents. Roller or wide-format vertical blinds dress windows and add streamlined simplicity.

Spaces are big and light-filled, particularly the living hub, which is configured into multiple zones for different activities, with a mix of carpet and tiles in all the right spots.

The kitchen has a big walk-in pantry,

stone-topped benches, a good-sized breakfast bar beneath pendant lights, dual-drawer dishwasher and a 900-millimetre gas cooker.

Of the four bedrooms, three have triple-door wardrobes and ceiling fans and share a gleaming bathroom. There’s also a study and a powder room. The main bedroom has access to a pergola with rain-sensor roof and a love chair. A walk-in wardrobe and en suite with double shower are other features.

An integrated verandah with timber decking (which links with the aforementioned pergola) faces a backyard with nothing but lawn – and golf course views beyond.

Other drawcards are an alarm system, video intercom doorbell, CCTV with eight cameras, 20 solar panels, three-phase power and a triple garage with drive-through access.

49 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 3, 2015

SPORT Jason makes new bid for the top When Jason Williams was 17, he believed his AFL career was a given. Less than three years later, he hated football and would find any excuse to avoid the game. But, from the lowest of lows, Williams, now 22, has fallen back in love with Aussie Rules and has his sights set on a return to the top. He spoke to Liam Twomey The 2010 premiership-winning Calder Cannons team was loaded with talent.

With the likes of Cam Guthrie, Tom Liberatore and Mitch Wallis running around, it was arguably one of the most exciting TAC Cup outfits of all time.

It was also home to a bottom-age rising star who was making a name for himself after moving to Sunbury from Perth a few years earlier.

Jason Williams could play anywhere on the ground, use the ball well and had a knack for reading the play.

Those talents led to him being selected in the Vic Metro squad, where he was constantly watched and spoken to by AFL recruiters.

All indications were it was a matter of when, not if, Williams would be drafted.

“It was in that 2010 season I started becoming fully aware of all the possibilities with football and everything I could achieve,” Williams said.

“While all that was happening I kind of forgot I had to take care of the rest of my life.

“I blocked everything, like school, out in my everyday life and took all that sort of stuff for granted.

“I thought footy was going so well I didn’t need that stuff any more.”

But, by his own admission, Williams made one of the biggest mistakes of his life in his season as a top-age player at the Cannons.

He went into the year thinking he had shown the AFL talent scouts enough of what he could do and his name being read out on draft night would be a formality.

It wasn’t, and while a number of his teammates began their careers at the next level, he was left behind.

Far from ready to give up on his AFL dream, he was quickly snapped up by VFL club Port Melbourne and again, success followed.

Williams and his Borough teammates reached the VFL grand final.

But that’s when his journey took a sad turn.

“I was 18 or 19 and playing in a VFL finals series; everything was pretty good,” Williams said.

“A couple of weeks before the grand final my dad was murdered.

“His funeral was in Perth, the day before the grand final. I had to fly over on the Thursday night after training, spend the Friday with my family, bury my dad on the Saturday and then fly back the Saturday night to play on the Sunday.”

So desperate was Williams to play in a premiership that he never took the time to fully grieve the loss of his father.

Port Melbourne went on to lose the grand final and Williams’ state of mind quickly deteriorated.

“I just thought things were going to happen for me and then it reached a point where everything I had planned for didn’t happen,” he said.

“Mostly it was my own fault. In that off-season, I fell into a pretty bad place.”

Although he didn’t know it at the time, Williams was suffering from depression. As all the aspects of his life started to get tougher, his love of playing football nosedived.

He quit playing at Port Melbourne the following year and signed with an Essendon District-based club to try to reignite his passion for the game.

But that didn’t work either. Williams would sometimes fail to turn up to training and often didn’t want to pull on the jumper on a Saturday afternoon.

“Back then, depression in sport wasn’t even spoken about,” Williams said.

50 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 3, 2015

“For me, I didn’t understand what was happening, I didn’t understand why I was feeling this way so I just kept sweeping it under the rug.

“I didn’t have anywhere I could go where I could escape those feelings. I went to work and came home and that was all I could think about.

“Through that I made a few bad decisions with my life that I am not proud of.”

Finally, the turning point arrived for Williams in the form of persistent Diggers Rest Football Club coach Shaun Sims.

Sims had been chasing Williams to come and play at his club for two years and leading into the 2014 season he finally got his man.

Playing alongside some of his childhood friends and for a supportive committee and coaching staff, the fire started to burn again for Williams.

After finding his feet in his first season at the club, Williams spent most of his off-season working with a children’s charity in Mexico.

It was there he realised how lucky he was to be in a position where he could still chase his dreams.

He returned to pre-season training with the Burras and took on an assistant coaching role at the club. He also told Sims of his goal to lead the club to a premiership and win the best

and fairest award. He came within a whisker of delivering, with Diggers Rest finishing runner-up to Romsey with Williams named the club’s best player for the season.

“When I got to Diggers, the love of football was back,” he said.

“It is such an amazing feeling to walk into a place where you aren’t just there to play for yourself any more.

“You’re there to play for the people who make the club what it is.

“Shaun is an amazing person and I owe him so much. As soon as I met him I just felt like me going to Diggers was always meant to happen.”

With his passion for the game recaptured, so too has Williams’ hunger to join his former teammates in the AFL. The 22-year-old has already contacted Port Melbourne coach Gary Ayres and has been told he is welcome back at the club next season.

This time he plans on making every post a winner.

“I have plans to go back to Port Melbourne and I feel like a different person this time around,” Williams said.

“Now I’m at a stage in my life where I understand the balance between life and footy and I understand the steps that need to happen for me to take that next step.

“When I was younger, I assumed it was just going to be given to me. Now I fully understand that I have to earn it and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Tail between Lion’s legs

By Liam Twomey Melton has suffered its second loss of the Victorian Sub-District cricket season after going down to Caulfield on Saturday.

The Lions were set 127 for victory after Caulfield won the toss and batted first in the one-day fixture. In reply, Melton was bowled out for 110 in the 43rd over.

Michael Alexander top-scored for the Lions with 32, while Jake Charge made 24.

Melton will take on top-of-the-table Ormond this week.

Meanwhile, in the Ballarat A-grade competition, Darley maintained its perfect start to the year with a nail-biting eight-run win over Wendouree.

The Lions batted first on day one of the contest, posting 7-241 from their 80 overs.

Matthew Cape starred with the bat, hitting a stunning 128 to help guide his side into a strong position.

With plenty of runs on the board, the Darley bowlers were able to attack the Wendouree top order when play resumed on Saturday.

Fresh from his century, Cape again made the early running, this time taking the first wicket to put Wendouree on the back foot at 1-12.

But the batting side wasn’t about to go down without a fight and the middle order took over, Craig Jenkins and Matt Smith both making half centuries while Gavin Webb scored 39.

When it looked like the target was about to be chased down, Darley captain-coach Heath Pritchard produced a game-changing spell of 4-43 to lead his side back into the match.

He formed a lethal duo with Cape, who took two wickets to help dismiss Wendouree for 233.

Darley now holds a 2-0 record for the season and will take on Napoleon-Sebastopol this week.

Matt Gilmore has joined Riddell District Football League club Melton Centrals.

The full-forward is crossing over from Birchip Watchem club in the North Central Football League. Gilmore looks a perfect fit for Centrals, who struggled to hit the scoreboard at times during the 2015 season. A lead-up forward, Gilmore kicked 53 goals last season.

EDFL

The Essendon District Football League will adopt a 50-point player points cap for 2016. The cap will apply to all 27 clubs competing in its three senior divisions. The league had previously indicated its desire to have a 55-point cap, but AFL Victoria has since set the maximum number of points for suburban leagues at 50.

WRFL

There will be even more star power in the Western Region Football League next season with Werribee Districts appointing Paul Chapman as its head coach. Chapman brings a wealth of experience to the club after retiring from the AFL at the end of the 2015 home-and-away season. He played 251 games for Geelong, for which he was a three-time premiership player, then joined Essendon, where he played 29 games.

51 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 3, 2015

SPORT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Young guns sign on for Hillside after injury-ridden year Hillside has had an early off-season win, with two young guns committing to the club.

The Essendon District Football League outfit has signed Western Jets duo and Sharks juniors Jake Bertollo and Brandon Coletta.

Coletta , a powerful forward, played 10 games for the Jets last season and booted 13 goals, his best haul coming in round nine when he kicked a bag of five against Geelong Falcons.

Bertollo was a member of the Jets’ 2015 leadership group, playing in nine games with the TAC Cup outfit as well as four development league games in the VFL with Williamstown.

The pair will be joined by fellow young gun Jordan Sinclair, who has crossed over to the club from Ballarat Football League side Melton South.

Preparing for his second season in charge, Hillside coach Steve Burns says he’s rapt to have signed up the young talent.

“We obviously had Brandon and Jake at the club as juniors and we’re looking forward to getting Jordan in the group,” Burns said.

“He’s a forward who can play back as well, which makes him a great pick-up for our squad.”

Hillside is also expecting to have young

gun Jackson Volpato available for some games during the 2016 season. Volpato, who’s also a former Western Jets and Sharks junior, has signed on to play at VFL club Coburg but will be able to pull on the Hillside jumper when the fixture allows.

The Sharks are coming off a tough year in the EDFL’s division 1 competition.

It was a season marred by terrible injuries.

When they did have their full side on the park, though, Hillside proved to be ultracompetitive with all oppositions.

While admitting there were still plenty of positives from the year, Burns said his young

side would need to make the most of its opportunities in 2016. “Last year, there was a new coach, a new game plan and a lot of new players,” he said.

“Then there were a lot of injuries, and that really made the first half of the year tough.

“The second half was pleasing, but we still didn’t win a lot of games.

“The boys are going to have to learn pretty quickly that we need to take our chances when they’re there because you don’t always get that many.”

Higher cap for Burras

By Liam Twomey Diggers Rest has been granted two extra points for next season’s player points cap.

AFL Goldfields, the region’s governing body, initially knocked back the Burras’ application for extra points, choosing instead to monitor the Riddell District Football League club’s situation.

But Diggers Rest president Chris Payne met representatives from AFL Goldfields last week to argue the Burras’ case.

“We’re very happy with the outcome,” Payne said.

“I think we had a very strong case and it was all down to the population base in the area and our having only 58 juniors at the club.

‘‘

The cap brings a new dynamic into recruiting players - Chris Payne

’’

“It really puts us on the back foot compared to other clubs and we believe we need those extra points to be able to compete with clubs that have junior players coming in as one-point players.”

The points cap is the first step in a two-part program to level out competitions and rein in rising player costs. The second stage, a salary cap, comes into effect in 2017.

The RDFL cap has been set at 42 points per club for the 2016 season.

Under the cap, all metropolitan and country players will be graded from one to six points based on their background and the level of football they have previously played.

Diggers Rest is the seventh club in the competition to be granted extra points for next season.

Wallan and Lancefield secured an extra six, Broadford, Rockbank and Woodend-Hesket were handed an extra three, and Melton Centrals get two.

Macedon is the only club to have its application for a boost rejected.

Payne said Diggers Rest’s attention would now switch to completing its 2016 playing squad.

“Now we have a very clear picture of what we can and can’t do in terms of players,” he said.

“The player points cap certainly brings a new dynamic into recruiting players.

You can’t just go out and buy players from premier leagues who are going to be worth five points.

“You need to be ahead of the game and planning properly. Knowing where we stand, it makes it a lot easier for us in terms of finalising our list.”

Diggers Rest has been awarded two extra points under the AFL Victoria player points cap. (Shawn Smits) 52 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 3, 2015

Liam Carter has been signed up by VFL Club Williamstown. (Shawn Smits)

Melton Jet star a hot prospect for Seagulls Melton young gun Liam Carter has signed with Williamstown for the 2016 VFL season.

The defender put pen to paper on a deal with the Seagulls last week after a strong year with TAC Cup side the Western Jets.

Carter was one of the Jets’ most consistent players throughout season 2015 and was a backline leader.

He was named among his side’s best players in nine of his 17 matches.

Next season won’t be the 19-year-old’s first taste of life in a Williamstown jumper.

So impressive was Carter at the Jets this year that he forced his way into the Seagulls’ development team and maintained his position throughout the club’s finals campaign.

Eventually he went on to play in the development side’s premiership win against Box Hill.

Williamstown football manager Chris Dixon was impressed Carter was able to hold his own against older and bigger bodies.

“We really rate Liam as a footballer and see him as a quality key defender at VFL level,” Dixon said.

“His performances this year in the development finals series were incredible.

He’s an exciting prospect.”

Carter finished fifth this year in the Western Jets’ best and fairest count.

He will be joined at Williamstown next season by fellow former Jets Lachlan Knight and Mitch Norton.

Cameron Henderson has got talent When you live your life by the motto: ‘Live your dream, there is no harm in doing what you love and always remember where you came from’, it’s little wonder Cameron Henderson has achieved the success he has in such a short time.

his family to perform on the TV show Australia’s Got Talent with his son, Taylor. Much to his surprise, the self-taught musician captured the attention of viewers with his blues and folk tunes combined with his original lyrics about real-life experiences.

The Geelong-born singer-songwriter grew up in a family of cattle farmers. He credits James Taylor as his greatest musical influence, and still remembers the first time he heard him on the radio.

Cam finished runner-up in that year’s grand final show and music is now a major focus of his life.

Cam began his musical journey at the age of 12 when he received his first guitar. By the age of 18 he was writing songs, and although music was always part of his life it took a backseat for several years as he focused on a career as a builder and started his own family.

In 2010, a then 43-year-old Cam was encouraged by

He released his debut album Angels Without Wings in 2010, featuring 11 original songs he wrote, and a duet with son Taylor and backing vocals by daughter Bridey.

Songs included These Two Strangers (about the life story of his mum and dad) and Three Beautiful People, a song he says is his most precious to date.

Cam is working on his next album, Throw the First Stone.

Emma’s singing the blues When she was younger, Emma sang country music with her mother and five uncles as a member of The Donovans, but she felt herself drawn to her father’s blues record collection.

She became a regular at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and quickly established herself as a solo artist in her own right, touring and recording with many of the mainstays of indigenous music.

Years later when she met the members of Melbourne soul outfit The PutBacks, Emma knew she had found a band with the blues-toned soul that so perfectly matched her own. The PutBacks bassist Mick Meagher quickly became a co-writer and collaborator on the soul songs Emma had

been waiting a lifetime to write and sing.

Her distinctive husky voice conveys her love of blues and performing, and her lyrics tell stories that she sings with confidence and pride.

Through her focus and contribution to community initiatives, Emma has developed a strong connection to her people – something she remains committed to continuing.

Together, Emma Donovan and The PutBacks have worked with HopeStreet Recording on an album titled Dawn. It will be released through Australia, the UK and the US, and in keeping with the true spirit of soul – it will also be released on vinyl.

Free interactive sports activities for the whole family!

McInnes brothers Joel, Alan, Brian and Dean share a love of music, thanks to a childhood filled with family sing-a-longs.

They’re now sharing that passion with others as Australia’s newest and most colourful children’s entertainment band, the Mik Maks.

The brothers write and perform their own songs, engaging children through the use of colour, fun and movement. They have enormous fun bringing families and communities together and feel privileged to be able to share their music with their young audiences.

The band also features special Mik Maks members ‘Drums the Panda’ and ‘Bruce the Hairy Crocodile’.
