Mark Seymour condemned the use of his song Holy Grail by Reclaim Australia. “Let me be clear: Reclaim Australia is a racist organisation,” Seymour wrote on Facebook. We are opposed to bigotry, race hate and fascism. Reclaim Australia has no place in Australian society.” Referring to the rallies, Victorian

Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commissioner Kate Jenkins said racism’s impact was “vast and insidious”. Melton council chief executive Kel Tori said only minor damage was caused to the garden beds at the front of the council offices. - with The Age

Violent clashes that resulted in seven arrests on Sunday don’t reflect Melton’s community values, according to mayor Kathy Majdlik. “We are proud to be a diverse and inclusive city,” Cr Majdlik said. More than 1000 protesters descended on the streets of Melton where left-wing anti-racism groups clashed with members of right-wing groups including Reclaim Australia, True Blue Crew, and the United Patriots Front. The groups clashed on High Street and in front of the council offices in response to plans for a mosque in Melton West and an Islamic school approved for Victoria University’s Melton campus. “The majority of people who attended came into our city from other areas and unfortunately chose Melton as the latest backdrop for their rallies,” Cr Majdlik said. “Council supports the rights of people to express their views through freedom of speech, but that right imposes upon them the need to abstain from violence.” About 500 police officers, including officers on horseback and heavily armoured riot police, spent six hours trying to keep the two groups apart. Those arrested included a 29-year-old man for punching a police horse, three people for possessing weapons and three for riotous behaviour. The 29-year-old is expected to be charged on summons, while the other six have received penalty notices. Victoria Police’s Acting Commander Alan Byrne said almost 800 people were searched for weapons. “We were able to keep the peace and successfully facilitate a lawful protest,” Acting Commander Byrne said. “All in all, it was peaceful and we would regard it as successful.” Three people reported receiving injuries at the protest. No officers were injured. Acting Commander Byrne said capsicum spray was used twice, once when a protester punched a police horse and again to keep the two groups apart during a violent confrontation. Several protesters from both sides were seen with young children, including a Reclaim Australia supporter pushing a stroller with a toddler through the crowd. Retiring commissioner for children and young people, Bernie Geary, said he was

‘Ideal’ school site up for sale By Sumeyya Ilanbey Moorabool council has called on the Premier to step in after the state government announced it had abandoned plans to develop Bacchus Marsh land earlier earmarked for a primary school. Almost 20 years ago, the then Liberal government of Jeff Kennett purchased land in Connor Street, just off Halletts Way, with the intention of eventually building a primary school to meet the needs of young families moving to the area. But last week the Department of Treasury

and Finance wrote to the council telling of its intention to sell the land. The council has 60 days to advise if it wants to purchase the land. Mayor Allan Comrie said the council was “at a loss” as to why the department would want to sell off the land. “It’s an ideal location for a school that is desperately needed,” Cr Comrie said. “We were also told in writing by Education Minister James Merlino that the department would meet with council and work with local stakeholders to find a solution to schooling in Bacchus Marsh, but this has not occurred.”

Cr Comrie called on Premier Daniel Andrews and Melton MP Don Nardella to “intervene” and emphasise to Mr Merlino the importance of a primary school at the Connor Street site. A department spokeswoman said the land in question was deemed not an appropriate location to meet future school needs following a demographic review of the area. “Future primary school demand in the area surrounding the Connor Street site would be insufficient to justify its future development,” she said. “The areas to the north and south of Bacchus Marsh, such as Darley and

Maddingley, are expected to experience significant population growth and new schools may be required in these areas.” The spokeswoman said the department would contact the council to discuss the demographic review and ways to meet future educational needs in Bacchus Marsh. On social media, Bacchus Marsh residents urged the government to reinvest funds from the sale of the site back into the community, with some calling for it to be turned into a park. “Just another infrastructure reneged on by the government,” one said. “Add this one to a very long list. Bacchus Marsh gets zip … again.”

Childcare, play guaranteed Melton council has welcomed the federal government’s decision to reinstate funding for council-run occasional care and supported playgroups. Ongoing funding has been increased from $58,270 to $176,400 a year, to be used to hire extra staff. The council operates three playgroups – Mum and Me for incarcerated mothers and their children at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre; Bubbles at Melton Central for children with special needs; and Square Pegs at Caroline Springs shopping centre, which is aimed at finding families who are not engaged in support services. The extra funding will require the council to increase the number of playgroups from three to 10; integrate Smalltalk activities, which teach parents better ways of communicating with their children; and provide in-home support to eligible families. The funding boost will also give more vulnerable families access to supported playgroups, a council report states. “The flexible service model allows for a component of the service to be provided in the home to support families with increased need,” the report states. “[It] incorporates an evidence-based program [Smalltalk] to improve children’s wellbeing and learning outcomes by increasing parental capacity.” Occasional care groups at Parkwood Green, Springside, Creekside and Melton Central have each received $15,000 over the next four years. Council has been running this service for almost 25 years, providing short-term care for children from babyhood to pre-school.

Fire risk sank nativity scene By Sumeyya Ilanbey Woodgrove shopping centre has quashed rumours it has no Christmas nativity display this year because of complaints from the Muslim community. Social media users blasted the Melton centre’s Facebook site last week when rumours spread there was no traditional display because small numbers of “non-believers don’t like it”. A centre spokesman said the nativity display was removed last year, and would not be used this year, because a risk assessment found parts of the structure were a potential fire risk.

There were no complaints about the display’s removal. But when there was no nativity display this year, rumours began on the centre’s Facebook page that this was because of opposition from the Muslim community. In a statement to Star Weekly centre manager Greg Balmforth said that whoever posted the Facebook comment had not spoken to anyone from the centre. “If an inquiry had been received, we would have immediately confirmed that centre management received no complaints regarding our Christmas decorations or

Christmas-related events from any member of the community,” Mr Balmforth said. “Our first priority is to do as much as we can to protect the safety of shoppers and visitors to the centre who choose to enjoy their time with us. “To suggest the nativity scene was removed for any other reason is entirely disingenuous and we steadfastly hope the community accepts our position on the matter as fact.” Some Facebook posters said they were deeply offended and disappointed by the absence of this year’s nativity display.

“I fail to understand how an Australian tradition can just be removed because a small majority of non-believers don’t like it,” one post read. “Your management should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen. Deeply offended.” And even though Woodgrove’s marketing team responded to almost all posts clarifying the situation, some were not appeased. “Here’s an idea: have a nativity and other religious decorations,” one woman wrote. “This is Australia, we are supposed to be multicultural.”

Melton says no violence At least one woman is killed every week in Australia by her current or former partner. To mark White Ribbon Day, on November 25, Melton residents are being urged to “stand up, speak out and act to prevent men’s violence against women”. As part of the movement, Melton council and Djerriwarrh Health Services will run a ‘coffee cup’ campaign to remind people that violence against women is never acceptable. This week, takeaway coffee cups at participating local cafes and restaurants will display the hashtag ##MeltonSaysNo. “One in three women have experienced physical or sexual violence from someone known to them,” Melton mayor Kathy Majdlik said. “Building greater equity and respect between men and women helps our community to reduce incidences of violence in our city.”

Community events, including a free coffee van, will be set up at the Corner@McKenzie pop-up park on Tuesday, November 24, from 10am, at the Caroline Springs library on Tuesday, November 24, at noon, and on Saturday, November 28, at 10am. If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, call the Domestic Violence Victoria Crisis Line on 1800 015 188, Women’s Health West on 9689 9588 or the Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491, for help and advice. In an emergency, call Victoria Police on 000. Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton council’s corporate services general manager Peter Bean chairs the White Ribbon Day action team.

Big victory for small towns By Esther Lauaki Bigger doesn’t mean better for a group of Staughton Vale residents, who have won their campaign to downsize plans for a school in their rural town. Bacchus Marsh Grammar unveiled a 15-year vision to build a 1300-student campus near Anakie at Staughton Vale in June. In August, the school lodged a planning application for the $6 million first stage of its development – agricultural and outdoor learning spaces for up to 200 students at the 81-hectare site – with the Greater Geelong council. But this application was rejected at a panel hearing last Thursday after fierce opposition from the Staughton Vale Action Group. For Mark Trengove, of Staughton Vale Action Group, it was a big victory for the small community. “We’ve got them to scale back the school’s total capacity by about 100 students so far,” he said. “One building in particular, which was going to be a day observations centre, did not fit with the rural landscape – it was far too big and would have been seen from a few kilometres away. That building will not go ahead.” Mr Trengove said residents were unaware of the full scale of the development until they read about the plans in the newspaper. “The Anakie and Staughton Vale community were initially supportive of Bacchus Marsh Grammar’s proposed rural and environmental campus for 60 to 200 students, as it seemed like

a good fit for the area,” he said. “However, since the community was alerted to the full picture … there has been a great deal of anger.” Bacchus Marsh College called a meeting with residents in October in response to “the growing community disquiet,” Mr Trengove said. “More than 40 angry locals made it abundantly clear that a 1300-student campus was not in keeping with the site’s rural farming zone and just not appropriate,” he said.

‘‘

(It) did not fit with the rural landscape … it was far - Mark Trengove too big

’’

“The community has argued, it would be wiser to establish any new stand-alone campus within the population it intends to service, not more than half an hour away in a poorly serviced rural area.” Bacchus Marsh Grammar principal Andrew Neal said the school was disappointed that it would not be able to develop the site to the extent planned. “We were surprised with some of the comments made that, we felt, didn’t accurately reflect the vision that we had for the site,” he said. “That said, we are pleased with the process that Geelong council carried out and we accept the permit that has been issued. We are eager to commence construction in 2016 and early 2017.”

Ready to take on world Staff and supporters of Djerriwarrh Community and Education Services had plenty to sing and dance about as they celebrated 25 years of training job seekers in the west. Past and present students packed Melton community house to mark the milestone last Wednesday. Chief executive Trish Heffernan said students, past and present, leave Djerriwarrh with skills, knowledge, confidence and the sense of self worth needed to enter the workforce. “We feel Djerriwarrh is very important to the community and the people of the west, and believe our longevity is testament to this,” she said. “In the past year, the services assisted 366 eligible job seekers through our Skills for

Education and Employment program in the west. “After completing one of our courses, many students go on to a rewarding career, where this may otherwise not have been possible.” Celebrations kicked off with Melton Secondary College’s cultural group Multination performing a traditional Samoan siva (dance), and some of Djerriwarrh’s former students and supporters spoke of recent achievements. Melton MP Don Nardella, Jobs Australia chief executive David Thompson also attended.

Melton children will be taking part in Swim Safer Week. (Supplied)

Swim safety floated Melton youngsters and their families are being encouraged to take the plunge and learn to swim “safer, smarter and stronger” as part of national Swim Safer Week. They will join about 400,000 Australian children expected to participate in the annual Energy Australia Swim Safer Week, which runs until November 28. Swim Australia chief executive Ross Grange says nearly 400 registered swim schools across the country will run educational activities and help pupils gain vital water safety skills. “For a long time we’ve personally watched the benefits young children can experience physically, emotionally and socially, simply by learning to swim,” Mr Grange said. “Swimming should be about having sensible fun, first and

foremost. However, it is a necessary and a potentially life-saving skill, so is an ability that should be formally learned from as young as four months, under the guidance of a qualified teacher.” Shawn Read from Shawn’s Swim School in Hoppers Crossing, where many Melton children attend classes, says kids who swim are “safer kids”. “We believe the national Energy Australia Swim Safer Week is a valuable tool and an exciting part of our yearly planner – to help us better educate the community on the importance of learning to swim,” he said.

Pet losses mount from snake bite By Esther Lauaki Melton council is considering a snake-catching program amid concerns about increased snake sightings and bites over recent months. Compliance manager Ian Stewart said there were about 30 to 40 calls per year to the council about snakes, not all of which resulted in a snake-catcher being required. “For snakes on private property, council has the contact details of a number of people able to catch snakes and it either engages these people directly or provides their details to private property occupants,” he said.

“At this stage, council has not considered an increase in service level, but a notice of motion was put forward at the November meeting to investigate and prepare a report on establishing a snake-catching program.” Three private snake-catchers in Melton who Star Weekly spoke to charge between $130 and $250 per callout. They say they have been attending about five to seven callouts a week. Melton Veterinary Clinic has treated 13 dogs and cats for snake bites since September. Nearly all of the pets were bitten by tiger snakes, and only five survived. Senior vet nurse Kim Norton said 24 pets

were treated at the clinic in the six months from September last year to February this year. “This year [since September], we’ve already had 13 cases come in so that’s about double the rate,” she said. “I believe it might be to do with new development in Melton and Caroline Springs. Those developments are encroaching on more bushland and we’re seeing a lot more snakes around. “Lots of our new developments also have waterways running through them, so we’re seeing snakes in residential areas, like inner Melton and Kurunjang.”

She said many bitten pets died because owners could not afford to save them. “It’s extremely expensive to treat animals with snake bites,” Ms Norton said. “It costs $1500 for one vial of antivenom and the first overnight stay in the clinic. Each night after that, it’s $300 or more depending on the treatment. “The sooner you see them displaying symptoms, the better their chances of survival,” Ms Norton said. “If unsure, call your vet.” Snakes are a protected species and it’s illegal to kill them.

A mo-mentous GP visit Laurence Pincini always thought he was an average-sized bloke. But a trip to the doctor earlier this year said otherwise. The 50-year-old was told he was overweight and needed to get moving. “I’ve always considered myself to be a reasonable, standard size; I didn’t think I was very big,” Mr Pincini said. “And being a typical male, we don’t usually go to the doctors … we have to start breaking those barriers. “We’re not indestructible and we need to start being more conscious of our health.” The GP’s advice to Mr Pincini came just in time for this year’s Movember, so Mr Pincini and his workmates at Rockleigh Tours got serious about moving and ‘mos’. The tour operator team members have raised more than $800 for the men’s health-promoting Movember Foundation

and have committed themselves to continuing a conversation about mental and physical health. “I’ve had a brother and friend who took their own lives,” Mr Pincini said. “There are so many different aspects of men’s health that get swept under the carpet. “We talk about road tolls and terror tolls – we need to talk more about mental health and we need to highlight it.” To help Mr Pincini’s team, visit au.movember.com/donate/payment/team_ id/2028069 Sumeyya Ilanbey

Woodlea sets pace on new homes By Sumeyya Ilanbey Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the location, the affordability, the modernity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but Woodlea has topped the charts as Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest-selling new community. And the new Rockbank estate came a close second as the fastest-selling new community in Australia in the September quarter, according to the National Land Survey Program (NLSP). The NLSP research, undertaken by property consulting firm Charter Keck Cramer, compared 150 estates across Melbourne and found sales in Woodlea made up 16.2 per cent of all sales across the western corridor.

Earlier this month, pre-registrations for land lots at Woodlea reached capacity within 30 seconds of being offered, while another 75 blocks were sold a few days later. Charter Keck Cramer national executive director Robert Papaleo said nearly all new estates across the west had smashed sale records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen an average of 463 sales per calendar month in the September quarter, figures not seen since early 2010 when the market was being driven by very generous first-home buyer grants,â&#x20AC;? Mr Papaleo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a median lot price of $180,000 across the

region and interest rates at historic low levels, lots are still affordable, which is driving sales back to record high levels.â&#x20AC;? The research also found land in Melbourne sold faster than the Perth and south-east Queensland markets combined. Melbourne also has the most affordable land when compared to Perth, south-east Queensland and Sydney. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $40,000 cheaper than Perth and south-east Queensland, and $200,000 cheaper than Sydney. Woodlea project director Matthew Dean said more than 600 lots had been sold since Woodleaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launch in late March.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The results are in and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprising that Woodlea is now considered the fastest-selling community in Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buyers are really responding strongly.â&#x20AC;? He said a well-considered masterplan meant â&#x20AC;&#x153;amenities for all sorts of families, at an affordable entry pointâ&#x20AC;?. Located 29 kilometres from the CBD, Woodlea will have a town centre with public square, supermarket, community services, bus interchange, walking and cycle paths, and sporting facilities. The estate is expected to be home to up to 20,000 people when fully developed.

Fundraiser gets Ugly Bartenders at five Melton and Moorabool pubs were proud to be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;uglyâ&#x20AC;? by patrons in order to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. Staff from Rockbankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gamekeepers Secret Inn, Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hotel, Melton Darts Club and the Courthouse and Royal hotels at Bacchus Marsh joined 260 bartenders from across Victoria to raise more than $200,000 for the quirky campaign, which wound up last week. The Leukaemia Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ugly campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an acronym for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;understanding, generous, likeable, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically supported regional Australians with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other related blood disorders. Yvette Foxwell, of Gamekeepers Secret Inn, said this was the third year staff had joined in the campaign, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;locals love itâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come in and have a laugh at the T-shirt, which says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Ugly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I need helpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

and we get to tell them about it. Someone dear to me has leukaemia, so we love to support a number of similar causes like this as well.â&#x20AC;? Leukaemia Foundation fundraising head Dave Simms said participants donned the Ugly T-shirts and hosted offbeat events, such as esky races and sumo wrestling, to have fun for what is a serious cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The impact of being diagnosed with blood cancer is greater for people living in regional and rural Australia because it means leaving work, school and family behind to relocate to the city, adding to the emotional turmoil,â&#x20AC;? Mr Simms said. Donations are still being counted, but the campaign has raised $1.8 million nationwide so far. Details: www.uglybartender.org.au. Esther Lauaki

Grants a welcome sign

Daily actions tackle violence

By Sumeyya Ilanbey The entrance to Darley Neighbourhood House will get a bright new facelift. As part of Moorabool council’s community arts grants, the neighbourhood house’s mosaics group received $3000 to create a ‘Welcome’ sign. Neighbourhood house manager Jeanette McGonegal said they are looking forward to creating a sign Darley residents could feel proud of. “Anyone who wants to take part can contribute to the project,” Ms McGonegal said. “It’ll be fantastic, and it’ll be something the house can feel proud of. “I hope it’s something the whole community, and street, can feel a sense of ownership. I hope people will come out to see the sign.” The sign, which will feature the neighbourhood house’s logo and the words “a place for everyone”, will measure four metres by three, and green and yellow stones will be used. Ms McGonegal said the mosaics group started four years ago and has been a hit with the community. For the past few months, the group has been creating a number of large mosaic projects, including mosaic bollards, coffee tables and a mosaic sign for a local childcare centre. Moorabool council distributed about $71,000 in community grants last week.

How many times do women get interrupted during a work meeting? As part of an international 16-day activist challenge, employees across the west will keep tabs on gender inequality in films and workplaces to raise awareness about violence against women. HealthWest, Djerriwarrh Community Health Service, Melton council and Women’s Health West are among organisations taking part. Their staff have pledged to learn about violence against women, educate others about the problem and challenge gender inequality. The campaign starts on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (November 25) and ends on the International Day of Human Rights (December 10). Women’s Health West, which leads the Preventing Violence Together partnership, will use social media to raise awareness, posting one idea a day that challenges gender equality. “We invited staff in the partnership to commit to 16 days of taking practical action for gender equality, to reflect on what preventing men’s violence against women actually looks like,” WHW chief executive Robyn Gregory said. Parliament House and various landmarks across the state will take on an orange hue throughout the campaign – the colour of the United Nation Secretary-General’s UNiTE campaign. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Lizards facing fatal ‘squeeze’ By Sumeyya Ilanbey Urban sprawl across Melbourne’s west is endangering the habitats of the threatened striped legless lizard, wildlife groups say. In a joint statement to state and federal governments, wildlife groups across the west warned about potential impacts of housing developments in areas inhabited by the lizard. Recent research by the state Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning found habitats for the striped legless lizard were far fewer than thought, but a number of “hotspots” for the animal existed along Kororoit Creek. Wildlife groups including Melton Environment Group, Friends of Kororoit Creek and the Western Melbourne Catchments Network, are worried about residential encroachment and planning approvals along these hotspots. “Unfortunately, the hotspots currently face strong in-fill urban development, with a number of housing developments planned by developers,” the joint statement points out. “Recent approval of The Point at Burnside, comprising 80 hectares of striped legless lizard habitat, sets a precedent and seals the fate of a very large population of lizards. “That approval will also result in the fragmentation of populations along Kororoit Creek. Further approvals along Kororoit and Jones creeks would seal the fate of hundreds more lizards.” The groups have called on the state and

federal governments to ensure the lizards’ habitat is protected. They are also calling for research funds to identify additional “hotspot” areas, management of reserves known to have high populations of the striped legless lizard, and for funds generated from growth-area developments to be put back into conservation measures for the lizard’s survival.

What this species needs is more certainty

- Wildlife groups

“Whether in captivity or in the rapidly diminishing grasslands of Melbourne, what this species needs is more certainty,” the letter states. A government report found the striped legless lizard was once widely distributed across Victoria and was probably quite common across the state’s volcanic plains prior to European settlement. “Subsequent loss and modification of native grassland areas through agricultural practices and urban development have substantially reduced the available habitat across the former range of this species,” the report states. It also found a combination of factors, including clearing of grasslands for urban development, some farming practices, weed invasion and “inappropriate fire regimes”, threatened its long-term survival.

A fete better than study School is winding down for the year, and Melton South Primary School pupils let loose at their annual school fete last week. Pupils and their families raised more than $2000 for a new shade sail and a PA system for the school gym. Year 6 technology teacher Donna Teven said the fete had been supported by the whole school community and helped encourage positive relationships between parents and staff. “The fete was a great success,” she said. “The parents and carers of our students were

welcomed, allowing them the opportunity to enjoy a fun day with their family. “This is one of many school fetes we’ve had over the years and they are always so much fun – the kids love them.” Ms Teven said pupils slurped down slushies, snacked on pancakes, ice-creams, fairy floss and popcorn, wound through an obstacle course, posed in a photo booth and decorated biscuits.

Police ranks thin, stretched By Ben Cameron and Paul Shapiro Brimbank urgently needs 42 more frontline police officers to be on par with the state average, the Police Association claims. Association secretary Ron Iddles said police stations in Brimbank had been understaffed for too long. “The figures back up what our Brimbank members regularly tell us about how stretched they are in trying to combat the scourge of ice, family violence and related crime,” he said. Mr Iddles said Brimbank’s 159 first-response officers translated to a police-to-population ratio of just 82 first-response police for every

100,000 people – well below the state average of 102. “We are genuinely concerned for the community because an insufficient number of first-response officers means slower response times and fewer proactive police patrols,” he said. While Sunshine police station will welcome 20 new custody officers from January, Acting Inspector Brenda Bagally said the station had more crime to deal with than ever before. “We’re simply tied up with a lot more stuff to do,” she said. “Our demographics haven’t changed. It’s not so much a number shortage, – it’s just the environment we’re in these days.

Volunteer driven to help Young L-platers without someone to teach them safe-driving skills have been hitting the streets in droves to earn their probationary licences thanks to a Melton driving mentorship program. The Melton and Moorabool L2P learnerdriver mentor program at Djerriwarrh Community and Education Services has helped 90 young drivers clock up the kilometres so they can move on to their probationary licences. Volunteer driver mentor Gary King has overseen more than 500 hours of supervised driving by young people in the area in the past five years. A learner driver under 21 needs 120 hours of driving practice to get their probationary licence. “Some young people do not have anyone

with a car or a licence in their life who can give them that practice,” Mr King said. “Young people without a driver’s licence can be socially isolated and seriously disadvantaged when looking for work.” He said the program matched learner drivers with trained mentors so learners could get the practice they needed. While Djerriwarrh had a committed group of volunteer mentors, more were needed. The next courses will be held on November 28 and December 5. The program is supported by the City of Melton and Moorabool Shire councils in partnership with VicRoads. Details: 8746 1000 Esther Lauaki Long-serving L2P mentor Gary King. (Supplied)

“A big problem is that police go out and are then bogged down making an arrest so we can’t stretch everywhere we need to be. “We would always welcome new police officers but until then we have do the best with the resources we have.” The issue of police numbers in Sunshine was raised in Parliament by Western Metropolitan MP Bernie Finn. “I think of the struggle that the officers at Sunshine … put up with every day, with numbers that are so far below what they need to do their job in the way they would like to,” he said. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the

force was constantly reviewing police numbers to see if they met the needs of the community. “We don’t just look at numbers at an individual police station,” she said. “We look at how we can ensure we have the numbers and capability to respond to the needs of the community across a whole division. “If we believe we need more police for a certain reason or in a certain area, we will act on that. “Our No.1 priority is keeping the community safe.” Minister for Police Wade Noonan said the government would continue to take advice from Victoria Police on extra resources.

China trip the real deal

NEWS

NDIS rollout spelled out

By Sumeyya Ilanbey Damian Crowe hopes to learn more about China’s history, culture and language when he visits the country next year. The 14-year-old Bacchus Marsh boy is among 1500 standout young Victorians heading to China as part of the state government’s Victorian Young Leaders to China program. Damian jumped at the opportunity to apply when applications for the grants opened. For him, it meant immersing himself in a different culture and expanding his knowledge. “I’m really looking forward to going,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to expand my Chinese knowledge and language skills. “It’s good to be able to speak Chinese because it’s spoken by a lot of people.” Damian is hoping to learn some new characters, carry a conversation and meet new people. As for any recipes? “Hopefully,” he says with a giggle. Damian will head to China late next year for six weeks, with $3000 of his costs subsidised by the state government. The program aims to strengthen Year 9 students’ Chinese language skills, and promote student leadership and intercultural understanding.

Moorabool carers and people with disabilities will have questions answered about how the National Disability Insurance Scheme will work for them. A November 26 meeting at Ballan will outline the scheme, which is gradually being rolled out across Australia and is due to be introduced from Bacchus Marsh to Ballarat in the new year. The scheme is a federal government-run healthcare program that provides funding for people with disabilities, service providers and carers. Meeting organiser Amber Durante, of Embrace ASD, said the meeting will outline how residents can get “credible and relevant information”. “The NDIS will give individualised support for people with a significant and permanent disability,” Ms Durante said. “In the Barwon region trial, 44 per cent of all applicants with an autism spectrum disorder received funding. It’s also vital to get the right kind of support when applying for the NDIS, and that’s where this session will be really valuable.” Embrace ASD manager Janine Buttigieg said the disability insurance scheme will replace older funding models, and people need to know how this affects them. The meeting starts at 11.30am at the Embrace ASD Wellbeing library of Ballan Primary School. Details: www.embraceasd.net or on the Embrace ASD Facebook page.

Council stung by federal cuts By Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton council was one of the hardest hit local governments in Victoria last year when it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; federal government funding. The Victorian Grants Commission tabled its annual report in State Parliament this month, showing significant shortfalls to council funds. Melton lost more than $12,000 in the past financial year, just behind Brimbank ($13,000), Wyndham ($13,000), Casey ($17,000) and Geelong ($18,000) councils. The commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report also stated growth areas, including Melton and Moorabool, would lose tens of thousands of dollars from grants in the 2015-16 year.

Melton chief executive Kel Tori said federal government cuts resulted in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;marginallyâ&#x20AC;? higher rate increase than would have been the case this year. Mr Tori said rates had to be increased by 4.2 per cent instead of 3.9 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the long-term financial plan, it has impacted to a minor degree the extent of works council is able to undertake in each year,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Tori said while federal revenue to the state increased, money to local governments through the Grants Commission declined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council sees this as an extremely unfair burden on council to generate revenue from within its community.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

Future budgets and service delivery will be â&#x20AC;Ś - Rob Croxford difficult

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cumulative impact of [federal funding cuts and rate capping] is an inevitable reduction in provision of infrastructure and services over the long term, but council must simply deal with the challenges presented to it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Meanwhile, Moorabool council lost almost $5000 in federal cuts in the same year. Chief executive Rob Croxford said he was also concerned about the impact of rate capping on top of federal funding losses.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Future budgets and service delivery will be increasingly difficult,â&#x20AC;? Mr Croxford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In relation to the local roads grants, Moorabool shire has been impacted by changes in the Victorian Grants Commission funding formula, which has impacted the total level of grants received. [These] grants do not use population, therefore any growth in population will not have an impact on local road funding.â&#x20AC;? The federal Minister for Major Projects Paul Fletcher said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true that Commonwealth financial assistance grants to Victorian councils have been cutâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, Victorian councils will receive $539 million from the Australian government, an increase on 2014-15 levels,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A good Claus in Melton Lynette Miller is amazed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not surprised â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by the generosity of Melton shoppers. Every year, Kmart launches its Wishing Trees at stores across the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and each year, shoppers place gifts for the less fortunate under the trees. Last year, the Melton store received a whopping 2137 gifts to be passed on to families doing it tough. Ms Miller, who is the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wishing Tree champion, said despite all the hustle and bustle of Christmas time, shoppers found the time and money to donate gifts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as the tree appears, people seem to be placing gifts under it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really grateful that the people of Melton are community minded. This is an area where people do struggle but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

more than happy to give to others.â&#x20AC;? Even though the store couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach its target of 2500 last year, Ms Miller said it was hoped 3000 gifts could be collected this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas is all about giving, and people usually want those who are in need to also have a happy and joyful Christmas,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anyone to miss out.â&#x20AC;?

Caroline Springs residents have rubbished a recent study that ranked their neighbourhoods poorly on a suburban liveability list. A Deloitte Tract study released this month ranked Caroline Springs at 313 out of 321 of Melbourne’s most liveable suburbs.

It was part of a cluster of “master planned communities” in the Melton council area that ranked poorly, including Burnside Heights at 307, Taylors Hill at 314 and Burnside at 315. The liveability index scored suburbs from zero to five, zero being the worst, relating to crime rate, cafes and restaurants, cultural sector, telecommunications coverage, access

to public transport and the size of shopping facilities. Caroline Springs received scores of zeroes and ones in all of those categories. It performed well in the public open space and proportion of congested roads categories, scoring four. Residents took to Facebook to reject the finding and show support for their community.

“Pretty poor explanation for its position,” one resident posted. “Cafes? Are they serious? So disappointing to not have any support for amazing local businesses. Red Beetle cafe and Brew Brothers have fantastic coffee and great service. It’s so easy to get to the city, straight on to the freeway, and the nearest train station right now is 20 to 30 minutes on a bus. “What a lousy rundown of our suburb.” Another said that he believed the report was “fear mongering”. “We have no swimming pool and we need one, but we are fairly well spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants and eateries,” he wrote. “Don’t take any notice of this study.” Parts of Caroline Springs and Burnside Heights recorded property sales as high as $1.6 million earlier this year, leaving the previous median house price of $243,750 in the dust. Barry Plant Caroline Springs director David Lussi said he was “dumbfounded” by the study results. “They’ve obviously made a few mistakes on that study,” he said. “We have a great cafe and restaurant precinct, which offers an array of cuisines. Many of these cafes and restaurants overlook the lake.” Infrastructure issues have long been on the radar of residents, but much more development has occurred in recent years, he said. “Caroline Springs is well connected with public transport and we have the train station due to open next year, which is likely to be used by 1500 people a day.” The train station, which is on the Ballarat line, is being built 16 years after developers turned the first sods in the suburb. Caroline Springs won a 2006 best urban design award and is popular with families seeking affordable house and land packages. For the full list of liveability scores, go to http://bit.ly/1OazP3P.

Why they ranked poorly: Burnside Heights: 307 Burnside Heights has uncongested roads, great open spaces and decent schools but falls down significantly in other areas, most notably telecommunications coverage, culture, cafes and tree cover – and there is a high crime rate. Caroline Springs: 313 Caroline Springs has a rapidly growing population, but this is not matched by amenities and facilities. Scored poorly for telecommunications coverage, culture, cafes and tree cover, and has no train service (although this is planned). Taylors Hill: 314 The suburb scores very low for culture, cafes and tree cover. What it does offer is relatively uncongested roads and decent bus access. Burnside: 315 The suburb has very few schools, minimal tree cover, cafes and culture, and weak telecommunication coverage. Views of Lake Caroline and, below right, Caroline Springs Boulevard.

MY PLACE Anthony Mariampillai is a familiar face around town. The Ballan resident, who’s been working as a GP for nearly 30 years, calls it quits this week. He spoke to Sumeyya Ilanbey about his future plans and what he’ll miss the most. What’s your background? I came to Australia in 1985 from Sri Lanka. I first went to Alice Springs to work, but my (extended) family was in Victoria, so I wanted to come here. I got a job at a Ballarat hospital in 1986 and worked there. While I was working in Ballarat, I was referred to the Ballan family practice. I joined the Ballan GP super clinic in 2000. It was the first super clinic that opened in Australia. What’s been your favourite thing about working in Ballan? Ballan is a nice country town. It has a beautiful country set-up, beautiful people, who are very friendly. We were welcome in Ballan from day one. My children grew up here, they played football here and then went onto uni. Both of my children are doing very well now. I have two children, two boys. (Joe Mastroianni)

What were some of the challenges you faced when you first started working? The biggest challenge was that Australia was a new country for me. And we didn’t have mobile phones back then – we didn’t have ambulance services, and we had to be around in Ballan all the time, just in case we got a call. But things have changed now. We have a permanent ambulance service, we have mobile phones, and we have more staff working in the hospital providing emergency support.

To tell the truth, I feel very sad about leaving Ballan, but I can’t keep on working here. I recently had surgery, and my grandchildren are in Melbourne. I’ll be working in Melbourne with one of my friends on a part-time basis, but also helping the Ballan clinic when they need me. I’m like a farmer – we don’t retire.

Your retirement date is coming near now – how are you feeling about it? The 30th of November will be a sad day for me.

I’d like to mention the support I received from I’ve treated five generations, so I’ll miss that the the staff at the clinic, and not only the doctors. most when I move to Melbourne. All the staff, people from the board and management were very supportive. On a busy day when you need to take a deep breath, where do you go? I go for a walk with my dog or to the Ballan golf What will you miss the most about Ballan? I know each and every one who walked into the course, of course. At the golf course, you hit the ball and nobody asks you questions. clinic.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir delves into some chicken with a difference... Hoppers Crossing guitar lesson done, we’re headed up Morris Road to Tarneit – in a sufficiently reckless mood that a regulation, delicious but naughty feed from a chook shop will go down nicely. But we’re quietly hoping for something better – something even more tasty and perhaps even more healthy. A touch of the Middle East perhaps? Flames Charcoal Chicken looks out upon Wyndham Village shopping centre, home to a recently arrived Dosa Hut outlet, and is right next door to the recently reviewed Somalian joint, Ya Salam. Turns out this Flames shop is one of four – there’s two others in the west and one in Bundoora. I’m told the others are more your typical charcoal chicken shop routines. But the Tarneit establishment – oh happy day! – does indeed sport a heavy Middle Eastern influence. There’s wraps and rolls in the mix – but there’s also good salads, pickles and meat on sticks waiting to be grilled. What we have is fine – significantly better than average fast food but not quite up to the standards of a full-on Lebanese place. The prices, though, are very low. It’s set out rather nicely as a restaurant proper, our meals are served on wooden platters and we use real cutlery. Bennie chooses the “chicken with the lot deal” ($16.90).

FLAMES CHARCOAL CHICKEN Address: 14 Lavinia Drive, Tarneit Phone: 8360 3029 There’s three kinds of grilled chicken on hand – regular, chilli and (Bennie’s selection) lemon and garlic. His chook is fine, though not displaying much by way of the two listed seasonings. All the rest – yogurt dip, pickles, chips and very tasty tabouleh – is good. My shawarma meal ($12.90) comes with the same accompaniments, save for chips. I wish there was more lamb off the spit – and would happily pay for it. Because this lamb is wonderful – tender, profoundly tasty and skillfully seasoned. Locals will surely love having Flames around. It delivers a tasty, above average fast-food hit at good prices.

The timeless, tasty allure of Hoi An One of Vietnam’s most popular destinations, Hoi An has a relaxed charm that makes you want to stay, writes David Bonnici You’ll seldom hear a bad word said about Hoi An, which is often the highlight of Vietnam holidays be they of backpackers, families or older tourists. This charming, UNESCO world heritage city has buildings dating back to the 15th century and provides a glimpse to a past when traders from China and around South-East Asia ventured up the Thu Bon River to the small port. Narrow streets in the old town lead to a riverfront with old yellow-washed buildings on either side connected by a footbridge. During summer, the relative cool of the evening brings everyone out and the place is abuzz with tourists and hawkers. The sight of candles floating down the river provides a calming influence. Candlelight is a big part of the monthly full-moon celebrations – on the 14th day of the lunar months, the town’s lights are dimmed and the river is aglow. During the rest of the month, old ladies sell candles with promises of good luck and love being part of their sales pitches. Once you oblige, they place them on the water using long sticks. Colourful paper and bamboo lanterns festooned around town and hanging in front of shops add to the spectacle. A night market mostly sells souvenirs. Haggling is encouraged. I got into a particularly terse price war with a fierce young woman all of 11 years old who kept asking “oh my god man, what the hell are you on about?” whenever I gave her a price. As is the Hoi An way it was all good natured but with a good deal of cheek. The laid-back attitude of Hoi An and its people lulls you into a relaxed groove of

sun-soaked, sleepy days and indulgent evenings that will have you wishing you had booked a longer stay. It’s not a party town in the seedy sense and its nightlife is mostly centred around food.

Food is key

Good restaurants are plentiful and the more popular ones live up to the hype. Morning Glory restaurant in the old town, for instance. The double-storey restaurant is always flat

out yet the quality of the food doesn’t seem to suffer. It’s run by local foodie royalty Trinh Diem Vy, known as Ms Vy, who is famous around the country for her international take on Vietnamese cuisine.

She also runs the Mermaid and Cargo Club restaurants and The Market Restaurant & Cooking School. At Morning Glory, I had squid stuffed with minced pork and easily won dinner that night. Cooked in a quintessential chilli and lemongrass marinate, this is up there with the tastiest dishes I have ever had – think about it: Squid – stuffed with pork! Another nice spot was The Chef, on a rooftop above an incredibly charming old bookshop. Overlooking the ancient terracotta roofline of the old city, it is particularly fetching at sunset. Guests are welcome just for a drink. It has a great wine list and plenty of by-the-glass options – a rarity in Vietnam. Food is also big business in Hoi An by way of cooking classes, which you can do for a few hours or even over a few days. The Hoi An Beach resort where we stayed offered a cooking class for its guests. For US$35, we travelled to the wonderful Hoi An market with the hotel’s head chef, who showed us around as he bought produce. After that, we took a river boat back to the resort before learning how to prepare dishes including fresh prawn spring rolls, yellow chicken curry and the delightful-looking turmeric fish wrapped in banana leaf. Then we ate it all.

Tailor made

Hoi An’s other big industry is clothing. Tailor shopfronts are everywhere. If you walk through the quiet laneways past the small homes, you’ll see people at work on sewing machines making everything from three-piece suits and ball gowns to shoes and leather jackets. Choosing a tailor is tricky – there’s so many. Word of mouth is good, and you can generally get good tips from fellow hotel guests backed up by Tripadvisor. Make sure you get an address – there are often different businesses with almost identical names. Get fitted out as soon as you can during your stay. The tailors can generally make clothes

TRAVEL

within 24 hours but it’s good to leave time for alterations. We went to Tuong Clothes Shop (www. tuongtailor.com) on a recommendation – one I’d happily pass on. I got a leather jacket made there just by showing them a few pictures on my phone and I can’t fault the quality.

A place to stay

Accommodation options abound in Hoi An – from backpacker hostels and three-star hotels costing about $30 a night to five-star luxury resorts nudging four figures. You can stay in town or on the coast a couple of kilometres away. The Hoi An Beach Resort (www. hoianbeachresort.com.vn) was great value for under $200 a night. Rooms are in villas that have two upstairs and two downstairs rooms – very nice for the price. I suggest a river view room as the beach views overlook the road between the resort and shore. This friendly resort has a couple of pools, a nice open-air restaurant and bar overlooking the river. The only downside is it’s a bit out of town, though the hotel has shuttle buses or you can catch a cab for around $5. Hoi An Beach resort has it’s own beach across the road with plenty of deck chairs and a bar. The beach itself was washed away during a storm surge last year so they had to place sand bags between the grass area and the water. Fortunately, you don’t really notice them as they blend with the sand that’s slowly returning to reclaim the shore. To avoid such weather, it’s best to visit in summer, between late May and June, when it’s hot, dry and calm.

Getting there

Getting thereHoi An is a 30-minute drive from Da Nang International Airport. A taxi will cost about $20. To encourage people to travel beyond Saigon, Vietnam Airlines offers a free return internal flight as part of your air fare from Melbourne.

Mollie to the rescue

PEDIGREE® and Melton Foodworks partner up to support local PETRescue group, Puppy Tales Rescue. Mollie, an eight-year-old beagle Cavalier King Charles cross, is waiting perk-eared at Puppy Tales Rescue for a forever home.

One of 30 to 40 dogs at the pet rescue centre, Mollie has been waiting for about eight months to join her new family, bringing with her cuddles and company. Kerrie Gerbert from Puppy Tales Rescue says Mollie is an absolute delight.

“She loves walks and gets along well with kids and other dogs ¤ ¤ µ ¥ £ £¤ £ § ¶ ¤ £ · ¦£ ¸ where someone is at home during the day because she loves company.”

¹ £ £ £ º » £ £ ¢ ¥ £ £ ¥ ¦£ ¦ ¤ · ¤ from PEDIGREE®, as part of the PEDIGREE Adoption Drive™ in partnership with PetRescue. This year, PEDIGREE launched a global campaign, “PEDIGREE. Feed the Good™”, which invites independent retailers to join in by donating $10,000 of PEDIGREE dog food to local Pet Rescue Shelters nationally.

Owner of Foodworks in Melton, Alex Ng, has come on board and will deliver PEDIGREE dog food to Puppy Tales Rescue.

“We always have our eyes open for a chance to support our community,” Alex says, “so teaming up with PEDIGREE to ¢ Á ¤ · ¬ ¥¥¸ Â ° ¢ no-brainer.

Brad Sargent from Foodworks with Kerrie Gebert and rescue dog Mollie, who is looking for a home. (Photo: Shawn Smits) “The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive™ is a fantastic initiative. Many families look for a dog to take into their homes as a family member and to adopt one, already vaccinated, microchipped and desexed, is a win-win. Caring for a dog just seems to bring out the best in people. Dogs bring out our nurturing side and the unconditional love they bring affects everyone positively.”

TECH TALK STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

watchOS2: good look but maddening By Peter Wells, The Age With the launch of watchOS 2, I thought it time to take another look at the Apple Watch, to see whether the new software has transformed it into a must-have gadget. I’m not sure it has. While I’ve enjoyed wearing the Watch these past few weeks, the enjoyment is based more on gadget lust than any utility the Apple Watch provides. What I’ve realised is that no native app will improve my experience with the Watch, because using any watch app is a rather maddening experience. Before discussing watchOS 2, I want to make one thing clear: I love the idea of the Apple Watch. I think smartwatches in general have an amazing future. But I haven’t found one smartwatch I personally feel I need. Apple Watch does some things amazingly well. The simple circles of the built-in fitness app are genius; they’re strangely addictive and highly motivating. I personally like receiving notifications on my wrist. I whittled down notifications to just the ones I care about months ago, so only important things hit my wrist. This is a must for anyone about to buy a smartwatch. The Apple Watch notifications are great – those tiny taps of the taptic engine that alert but don’t alarm. And for me, the Apple Watch is still the best-looking smartwatch on the market. The screen is gorgeous and, unlike some, it never feels too bulky. Good, so are we all friends? We’re all calm? Great, now let me complain a little. watchOS 2 brings many little improvements to the Apple Watch, but the feature most anticipated was native watch applications. Native applications promised to launch and respond faster than the pseudo-apps of

Apple Watch is arguably the best-looking smartwatch on the market. (Supplied)

watchOS 1, where all the processing was taking place on the iPhone, with data streamed across to the watch. Swarm was one of the first apps to get a native upgrade. And the app is faster but still not a great user experience. Launch time from start to a usable app is down to about eight seconds – much better than the 20 seconds it used to take. But eight seconds is still an eternity when you have your wrist out in front of you, waiting for the wheels to stop turning, hoping the screen won’t fall asleep. And you look ridiculous.

What I’ve realised is that no native app will improve my experience with the Watch, because using any Watch app is a rather maddening experience. It starts with the placement of apps, on a layer beneath the watch face, accessed via the digital crown. To get to the apps, you push the digital crown. But then you need to move back to the tiny touch screen and search out the app you want in a honeycomb of tiny icons. David Pogue of Yahoo Tech shares my frustration. “After months of using the Apple

Watch, I can usually find what I want to find, but the logic of the layout still makes no sense,” he said. David has a better memory than me. I can never remember where an app lives in the honeycomb. To make navigating a little easier, I’ve found myself deleting apps and glances, so there’s less to look at and less to remember. Overall, watchOS 2 hasn’t made the Apple Watch any more desirable for me. I’ve loved every second of wearing the Apple Watch, but I don’t think I’ll miss it for a minute when I return the loan unit to Apple.

With three separate living spaces (a rumpus, lounge room and upstairs retreat area) and five large bedrooms, this quality house is set in beautifully landscaped gardens. The main bedroom has its own retreat plus a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. The other four have built-in wardrobes. The dining zone is a large, open space, with the kitchen fitted with white timber cabinetry, a tiled splashback and plenty of storage … it comes with a servery and breakfast bar, wall oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and a built-in pantry. From the rear living rooms, there is access to an undercover pergola, which is fenced off from the in-ground pool (solar heated with a water feature). Hedging and lush plantings surround the backyard, and there’s a bird aviary and garden shed back here too. On about 891 square metres, the house has zoned ducted heating, evaporative cooling, side access and a remote-controlled double garage.

Behind a private entrance and along a tree-lined boulevard, there lies a brick house built along big country lines – timber floors, exposed brick feature walls, some timber ceilings and wooden venetians. Set on about four hectares, there are four spacious bedrooms in the main house, and large living areas (a brick fireplace in one, a wood heater in another). The stylish kitchen has a feature bench with wood and corrugated iron finish, a wall oven, electric cooktop, a pantry and loads of storage. The bathrooms are well-appointed. Verandahs are timber-lined and there’s an alfresco area built-in, overlooking impressive gardens, including a dam with a jetty.

BACCHUS MARSH 58 Possumtail Run, 3340 Arbee Real Estate: 5367 2333

Price: $995,000

There are two things that make this Merrimu property of about 6.07 hectares a bit special. The first is that it was designed by Paul Couch, a protégé of renowned architect Robin Boyd. And it shows. Made of red cedar, the house has an impressive angled roof line cantilevered out on poles and, along with a wonderfully deep front verandah, a series of covered decks (accessible from most rooms) on which to soak in unadulterated views of Long Forest state forest. The second thing is that the forested section is under a Trust for Nature

covenant, specifically designed to protect local habitat. Kangaroo families visit the house and birdlife, especially fairy wrens and parrots, feels right at home. The dual-level house has a character matching the earthy surrounds, with lots of pine on walls and ceilings, many huge picture windows (it never loses sight of its forest milieu), hidden nooks and ups and downs, with random splashes of quirky. Five bedrooms sprawl over two levels, the downstairs three accompanied by a large living room with wood heater, a laundry, storeroom and a modern bathroom. Each

bedroom opens to a south-east facing deck, as does the living room at one end and, at the other, a covered pergola. One of the bedrooms has one of the huge picture windows and access to another covered deck, while the main has an adjoining (separate) retreat space, a fitted dressing room and an en suite. The kitchen, which abuts a meals area, has an enormous timber island bench, walk-in pantry, stainless-steel dishwasher, gas upright cooker and a 900mm gas cooktop. Next door, there’s a dining room/study,

followed by a very spacious lounge room warmed by an Ultimate wood heater, and with a lovely small library nook. At the end of a long driveway, the vast area at the front of the house has a drought-tolerant garden and a 12 x 6-metre Colorbond shed with a large attached bay. Mains water connection is available but the two tanks consistently provide sufficient water. There are two carports, one with adjoining storeroom, and an above-ground pool circled by a deck.

67 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 24, 2015

SPORT Consistency the key to getting Centrals to their peak Melton Centrals suffered their first loss of the Williamstown District Cricket Association A-grade season on Saturday, falling to Caroline Springs in a nail-biting finish. After being set 196 for victory, the Centrals looked out of the game when they slumped to 9-157. It was then that No.11 Ben Notman joined Centrals’ coach Adam Hulett at the crease, the pair setting about a rescue mission that almost became a triumph. Notman ground his way to 21, while Hulett, too, kept the scorecard ticking over. Just when it looked as though they had done enough to secure victory, Caroline Springs’ captain Kane Sevior struck, removing Notman and leaving Melton four runs short. Having opened the innings, Hulett achieved

the rarity of batting through for a heroic 81. Despite the loss, the Centrals are still enjoying a strong campaign in the WDCA. After the disappointment of losing last season’s grand final, Centrals knocked off reigning premiers Grand United in round one then followed that up by dealing with last season’s finalist Williamstown Colts in round two. Centrals’ momentum was halted by Melbourne’s weather, with the club forced to endure back-to-back draws. Following on from his strong 2014-15 season, Andrew Cristofaro looks every bit one of the premier batsmen in the competition again. He has compiled a league-high 154 runs and is averaging 77 to start the season. “Andrew has been great,” Hulett said.

“He has bailed us out of a bit of trouble. He’s definitely handy coming in at the top of the order, hitting the ball like he does.” Despite the strong start, the Centrals aren’t taking anything for granted. Hulett is pushing players to show more consistency with the bat, to reach a higher level. “There’s always improvement to be made,” he said. “I think it is at the top end of our batting. We need to be a bit more consistent. I think that is what has cost us most games. There’s never really a drama with our bowling. There are always improvements to be made and we’re looking forward to working on them.” In what will be a huge match this week, Melton Centrals plays first-placed Bellbridge. Liam Twomey

Sports shorts Bowls

Melton continued its brilliant run of form in Bowls Victoria’s division 1 pennant on Saturday. After a slow start to the season, Melton is now in outright fourth thanks to a hard-fought 10-shot win over Preston-Reservoir. Playing on its home green, Melton came out on top 81 (16) – 71 (2) and improved to a 5-2 season’s record. Melton will have the ideal chance to put some distance between itself and the chasing pack this week when it takes on fifth-placed Altona Sports. In other division 1 results on Saturday, Deer Park got the better of Altona Sports, Essendon proved too good for Moonee Ponds, and Altona beat Glenroy.

Cricket

Sydenham Hillside has its bowlers to thank for a five-run win over Pascoe Vale in North West Metro Cricket’s A-grade competition on Saturday. Sydenham looked to be in trouble in the one-day match when it batted first and made just 99 in its allotted 40 overs. But runs were just as elusive for Pascoe Vale, dismissed for 94. After six rounds of the NWMCA season, Sydenham is in second place.

WRFL

Melton will be looking for Andrew Zenonos to be at his best with the ball this Saturday against Elsternwick. (Kristian Scott)

Coach rapt with cubs By Liam Twomey Melton is in a prime position to claim its second win of the sub-district cricket south-west season after a brilliant batting display on Saturday. The Lions braved some early tough conditions to compile 6-239 against Elsternwick. Melton coach Michael Alexander led the way with a top score of 70. Anthony Gale added some vital runs with a well-made 49. After his innings, Alexander was happy to give all the praise for the big total to his side’s younger players. Batting when conditions were at their toughest, Tom Button made a hard-fought 21 and Jeremy Liddy was also among the runs. “I was extremely happy with that effort,” Alexander said. “Our batting let us down three out of the 68 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 24, 2015

first four games, so it was nice to have a good contribution from everyone. We had some really good partnerships, which is one of the key indicators we always try to tick off. “The young boys stood up and played well, so it was a pleasing day.” Elsternwick begins its run chase this week with all 10 wickets in hand. If Melton is to secure the win, it will need to put a lot of attention into gun Elsternwick batting pair Bradley Erasmus and Bradley O’Shea. The openers are enjoying outstanding seasons, Erasmus already having two halfcenturies to his name, while O’Shea is coming off a brilliant 101 against Sunshine. Despite the firepower at the top of the Elsternwick order, Alexander has full confidence in his side’s bowling and fielding abilities.

“Our game plan is to attack early,” he said. “They obviously have two big guns who have really been making a lot of their runs. “If we can get one of them early that would be great. “I certainly rate our bowling and fielding. It’s a big ground and I think we have a big enough score on the board.” Also in south-west, Sunshine will need to be at its best with the bat as the Crows look to secure their second win of the season. Sunshine has been set 265 for victory by Williamstown. And Werribee’s outstanding batting line-up will be tested as it looks to chase down a massive total against Brighton. After being 4-25, Brighton recovered to reach 9-283 thanks to a brilliant knock from Benjamin Clements, the middle-order gun hitting 151.

Another AFL premiership player has arrived in the Western Region Football League. Former Hawthorn player Mark Williams is the latest big-name signing to the league, with the forward set to take on the coaching role at Newport Power. The 2016 season will be the first year Newport has fielded a senior side in the WRFL, having built the club up through the juniors over the past decade. Power will compete in division three. Williams, 32, was drafted by the Hawks in 2001 and went on to play 111 games for the club. In that time he booted 242 goals and was the club’s leading goalkicker in 2005 and 2006. He played in the Hawks’ 2008 premiership. Williams was traded to Essendon in 2010, but injuries limited him to four games for the Bombers in two years. Williams will join other AFL premiership stars Brian Lake (Caroline Springs) and Paul Chapman (Werribee Districts) in the WRFL in 2016.

Older heads keep Saints afloat By Liam Twomey Two of St Anthonys’ most experienced players combined for what could prove to be a match-saving partnership in Gisborne District Cricket’s B-grade competition on Saturday. With their team at 5-49 against Macedon, St Anthonys coach Jamie Bolger was joined in the middle by club president Lucas Alaimo and the pair set about a rescue mission. They added 146 for the sixth wicket, Bolger reaching 63 while Alaimo top-scored with 80. It was mission accomplished as St Anthonys ended the day on an imposing 261. “When I went out there, a lot of good batsmen had already been dismissed,” Alaimo said. “It was about keeping control of our game and making sure we played the right shots. “We knew the bad balls would come and as the innings went on, the ball became bigger and bigger. “Unfortunately, we both lost our wickets in the same over but we put on a good total and a couple of the guys who followed us added a 30 or 40-run partnerships that got us to that 260.” The weekend’s match is the second in a row in which Bolger has dismantled a bowling attack. He made 119 not out against Ashfield in round four and is staking his claim for the title of best batsman in B-grade. Saturday’s score of 80 is the highest of the season for Alaimo. Eamon Cooper was the pick of the bowlers for Macedon, taking 4-44, while Nick Dodd was also a solid contributor with 3-68. Macedon begins its pursuit this week with 10 wickets in hand. “We will really focus on not giving them too

Young Eagles pushed into new territory Winning is all part of the routine at Eynesbury Cricket Club. In just their fourth season, the Eagles are again at the top end of the Western Suburbs United Churches Cricket A-grade competition, occupying second spot with a 3-1 record. This success comes hot on the heels of last season’s premiership, but is nonetheless remarkable given how much change the club went through in the off-season. The Eagles have had to get used to a new home ground, an adjustment in leadership and a turnover of players. Club president Matt Scalzo said players had embraced every challenge with a great attitude. “We are doing really well,” he said.

“The standout in our first XI has been Mark Pino, one of our change bowlers who’s leading the competition for wickets taken. “He has formed a really good combination with Scott Lynch. The two of them have really started off strongly.” The 2015-16 season is also remarkably different for Scalzo, who has stepped back from an extremely heavy schedule. Having previously been coach and first XI captain, he is now focused on his role as president, helping to expand the club’s growing junior division. Scalzo said that, given the club’s rapid growth, spreading the workload would be the best thing going forward. “I really wanted to concentrate on being

president of the club. That was due to the fact we were running three senior teams and four juniors. “We are really focusing on that aspect of the club. “We employed a junior co-ordinator to look after things this year. He’s been working tirelessly on getting the four junior teams up and running.” Captain-coach of the Eagles this season is premiership player Ray Davis, while Brett McGrath remains vice-captain. Eynesbury will look to build on its strong form when it takes on Williams Landing this week. Liam Twomey

City, country combine in interleague Interleague football has been given a shake-up, with AFL Victoria announcing a Victorian Community Championship for next season. The new competition will encompass all metropolitan and country leagues in the same interleague competition. Previously, metropolitan leagues and country leagues played separately. AFL Victoria community football operations manager Gerard Ryan said the combined competition promised to be one of the most exciting initiatives in community football. “It’s exciting to be able to take this next step towards establishing a Victoria-wide senior community football championship, involving a host of leagues from across the state, providing hundreds of players the opportunity to represent their league,” he said. “The WorkSafe AFL Victoria Community Championship will provide a true championship model, allowing a league to be recognised as the premier community football league in the state, as well as giving the opportunity for metropolitan and country leagues to play against each other on a regular basis.” In the initial year, leagues will be fixtured against each other with the goal of providing a ranking for the 2017 season, and beyond. In next year’s matches, Goulburn Valley will take on the Essendon District Football League, the Ballarat Football League and Western Region Football League will square off, and Riddell is matched with Alberton.

RDFL plans flying start Some of the Riddell District Football League’s biggest rivals won’t have to wait long to be reacquainted next season. The league’s round one fixtures, released last week, include a number of crunch matches over a two-week extravaganza. The extended first round has been designed to give supporters the chance to watch every senior football and A-grade netball match to begin the season. Round one highlights include Melton Centrals hosting closest rival Rockbank at the new Arnolds Creek Reserve; Woodend-Hesket unveiling their new surface at Gilbert Gordon Oval against Lancefield; Diggers Rest hosting traditional rivals Riddell at Bloomdale Oval; and Romsey unfurling the 2015 premiership flag under lights against Sunbury Kangaroos on a Saturday night. 70 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 24, 2015

RDFL operations manager Toby Boyle designed the unique round as a way to showcase clubs and the league to start the season. “The round one fixture is exciting in that we have a mix of traditional timeslots with some new ones and new opportunities to promote our league and clubs to the broader region and public,” Boyle said. “While the remainder of the fixture won’t be released until prior to the [2015] AGM, it’s pleasing that we have been able to provide clubs with many of their requests while ensuring each club has a genuine opportunity to compete and generate revenue.” The round one fixture begins on Friday, April 8. One club that won’t be a part of the special round is Kilmore, which had its application to join the Northern Football League approved by

AFL Victoria last week. Kilmore’s request to leave the RDFL was initially knocked back by league officials. But after winning its appeal to AFL Victoria, Kilmore has been officially welcomed into the NFL, where it will play in division 3 in 2016. The RDFL said in a statement that it respected the AFL Victoria decision and would not pursue the matter further. “The board and staff of the Riddell District FNL wish the Kilmore FNC the very best of luck for their future,” the statement read. “While disappointed to lose a club that has had 66 years of history in the RDFNL, the league hopes this move rejuvenates Kilmore FNC and the club is successful and prosperous long into the future.” The loss of Kilmore means the RDFL will be a 12-team competition next season.

Bacchus Marsh has a chance at an unlikely Gisborne District Cricket McIntyre Cup win thanks to pace bowler James Bailey. After winning the toss against Gisborne, the Bulls made a positive start and appeared to be on their way to a big total. At 1-40, with Tim Hughes and Dennis O’Loughlin apparently set, Gisborne introduced Jay King to the bowling attack. It was a game-changing move as King turned the game with figures of 5-13. The barrage of wickets led to the Bulls being dismissed in the 50th over for just 85. With plenty of time left, Gisborne took to the middle in search of quick runs. But the ball continued to dominate, with Bailey stepping up for the Bulls. The opening bowler claimed 6-10 to put his side right back in the match. When play resumes this week, Gisborne will need 36 runs to win with four wickets remaining. Elsewhere in McIntyre Cup, Diggers Rest Bulla is locked in a tight battle against Sunbury. Diggers Rest was bowled out for 173 and in reply, Sunbury is 0-22, requiring 152 for victory when play resumes this week. Liam Twomey

LEXUS NX200 F SPORT

speedometer sit either side of a multi-function display that has trip computer info and also lets you know which driving mode is being used – eco, normal or sport. The NX200 F Sport lives up to it’s name and goes along very nicely. It has the height advantage of an SUV with the handling of a car. The F Sport comes with All-Wheel-Drive, which makes it handle well, and the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine is incredibly responsive. It handles dirt roads nicely, too, in terms of ride and handling, which made for a lovely Saturday out on the back roads near Mt Macedon – as close to Lexus heartland as you can get. This is a lot of fun to drive and at the end of our seven-day dalliance I was as reluctant to let it go, as I was the RC F. The fuel economy isn’t bad – 7.7 litres/100km compared to the NX300 hybrid’s 5.7L/100km. Safety features are abundant and include blind-side monitoring, hill-start assist, rear camera, eight airbags and a nifty panoramic view monitor that lets you see all around the car and makes up for the narrow windows. It makes me wonder what took Lexus so long to enter the popular small-to-medium SUV market, though I’m glad they’ve done so. With prices starting at $57,567 drive away for the base-model 2WD NX 200t, this is a luxury SUV that more than holds it’s own against much pricier German models in terms of quality and driver enjoyment.

10034386-014

Having spent the previous week in automotive heaven strutting around in the brutish Lexus RC F racing coupe, jumping into an SUV should have been a let-down – but this is no ordinary SUV. The NX 200 is the smallest of the Lexus SUV range and the first to enter the hotly contested small-to medium SUV market. It is a turbocharged petrol version of the hybrid NX 300h released several months earlier. While the NX 300 is stately, the 200 is it’s sporty cousin though it isn’t wanting for luxury and features. On the outside, it’s very attractive, with angular lines, a hawkish face and squinty headlights in an aggressive-looking grill. As is the fashion with SUVs, the side windows are quite narrow, particularly at the rear, which means reduced all-round vision for the driver and a lesser view for those in the back seat, particularly children. Inside is nice, as you’d expect from Lexus. The test car had two-tone red and black leather that took a bit of getting used to but suited this car well. A nice, big centre console leads up to the gear shift, air-conditioning controls and the 7-inch multi media screen atop the dashboard. Multi-media functions are controlled by finger pad, which takes a little getting used to, especially when trying to input a destination for the satellite navigation.

MOTOR STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Latest VF ‘sounds’ just the job With the clock ticking down towards the end of local production, Holden has released the Series II version of its VF Commodore. Because the nameplate is set to continue as an import after the factory closes in 2017, Holden is aware of the importance of keeping Commodore up to date and so hasn’t ruled out another update some time in 2016. But it’s safe to say this will be the final major change to the car that has been such a feature of the Australian automotive industry for the past 37 years and one that was our nation’s top-selling car for 15 straight years between 1996 and 2010. With sales of the sportier Commodore variants (SV6, SS, SSV and SSV Redline) now approaching 60 per cent of total sales, it’s clear Holden is looking to say farewell to its iconic range in style. The biggest change with the Series II VF is the addition of the latest version of the Chevrolet LS3 6.2-litre V8 engine. With 304 kW and 570 Nm it has significantly more power and torque than the 6.0-litre (270 kW / 530 Nm) Gen 4 V8 in the Series I VF. Indeed it’s the most powerful non-HSV Commodore engine ever produced. It’s also the fastest Commodore sprinter yet, capable of going from standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Fuel consumption from the flagship SSV Redline is listed at 11.8 litres per 100 km on the combined cycle. While performance is paramount for owners of V8-powered cars, the sounds they emit run a close second. With the characteristic gutteral growl steadily declining as modern engines become more refined it’s become necessary for engineers to intervene. To achieve the type of sound required, the Holden team has come up

HOLDEN VF COMMODORE SSV REDLINE

with the combination of a bi-modal exhaust system and a mechanical sound enhancer. The bi-modal exhaust can be turned on and off through the touchscreen monitor. To ensure occupants of the car, and not just passers-by, get to enjoy the benefit of the enhanced sounds, Holden has developed a component called the “Baillie Tip”. Named after the engineer who designed it, the late Dr David Baillie, it uses an aperture in the tailpipe to reverberate sound back through the exhaust. Exterior design changes are relatively minor and are functional rather than cosmetic, being

there for improved aerodynamics and the additional cooling requirements of the more powerful engine. There are air vents on either side of the bonnet to assist the release of hot air from the engine bay. Other new features for VFII models from SV6 up include pushbutton engine start/stop; new design 18-inch alloy wheels (SV6 and SS); and LED taillights in the Sportwagon. The SSV adds a colour head-up display and 19-inch alloys and optional performance brakes, while the SSV Redline gets Brembo brakes and optional 20-inch forged wheels.

The Calais has heated front seats, 18-inch alloys with the front passenger now joining the driver in having an eight-way powered seat including memory settings. With future Commodores likely to take the European route and be powered by four-cylinder turbo-petrols, and naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol V6s these V8 VF Series II should prove popular not only with driving enthusiasts but also with more conservative Holden lovers. At sub-$60,000 prices they offer excellent value and may well become collectable future classics.
