Street patrol plan Hillside residents will consider hiring private security guards to patrol their streets amid fears there aren’t enough police on the beat. A group of men, who have been patrolling neighbourhoods at night, told a recent community safety meeting they had been responsible for thwarting six aggravated burglaries during one weekend. But they say they have been pressured by police to stop. Another speaker at the meeting said a group of residents was now investigating whether to hire security guards. “A few of us have had brief discussions on [hiring security guards] – if it does go ahead, it’s something that’s going to be in accordance with the police,” the speaker said. Residents say they’re frustrated Victoria Police is not adequately resourcing the Caroline Springs and Melton areas, leaving them feeling obliged to take matters into their own hands. “Why does the east have one police for 700 people, and we have one police for 1200?” one asked. As previously reported by Star Weekly, there are 76 first-response officers in the area – well below the state average according to the police association. An extra 55 officers are needed to be on par with the average police per population ratio, and a further 81 officers to keep up with growth. In a statement, Victoria Police spokesman Ben Radisich said there

is “no need” for residents to conduct patrols or hire private security guards. “We want to assure the community that we are absolutely focused on providing safe environments for all Victorians,” he said. “There is no need for communities to feel as though they need to conduct local patrols or engage security firms. Victoria Police provides a professionally co-ordinated, 24-hour response to any of the community’s issues.”

State Police Minister Lisa Neville said an extra 30 frontline officers were patrolling the north-west region after dark in response to a spate of aggravated burglaries. She said police had made a dent in the crimes and they believed they had arrested the “ringleaders”. “Police are out there, they’re conscious of these issues, and that’s why they’ve got extra patrols.” Ms Neville and Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton are expected to meet with Hillside residents “very soon”. An extra 300 frontline members funded in this year’s state budget are not expected to be deployed to stations until next year. ■ More

Petition targets ‘death trap’ By Sumeyya Ilanbey A grieving mother is on a mission to have the Pykes Creek “death trap” on the Western Freeway widened. Nik Barbara, 21, was travelling outbound on the Western Freeway, near Pykes Creek, when his car burst into flames after colliding with a truck on the sweeping bend. He died at the scene. Nik’s mother Sharon Walker started an online petition last week calling on the state government to urgently upgrade that section of the Western Freeway before there is another

fatality or serious injury. While detectives are still investigating the cause of the crash, Ms Walker believes the design of the road had an impact. “The grief is cruel because this stretch of road is a death trap with nowhere to go when trucks struggle on a stretch of two lanes,” the petition states. “This road needs to be widened and warnings are urgently required. “A town is mourning, and we are all familiar with this stretch, yet not all drivers are familiar when they become boxed in.” In the past five years, there have been 15 collisions on the Western Freeway between

Pykes Creek and Old Melbourne Road. Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said VicRoads is investigating improvements to the Western Freeway, including the section where Nik died. “Every death on our roads is a tragedy, and our hearts go out to the family and friends of young Nikolas Barbara and to the local community, all of whom are deeply mourning his loss,” Mr Donnellan said. Ms Walker says she’s decided to take action to get the road upgraded in honour of her son. “I need to live with my conscience, knowing I’ve tried to make a difference,” she says.

“It’s not guaranteed, but I hope so,” Carr says. “We started training for [the 2020 Olympics] with my coach about a year ago – maybe eight months ago.” Carr says he was inspired by former Melton Swimming Club captain Lachie Cussens, who he looks up to. It was because of Cussens that Carr decided to become a ‘butterflier’.

A multi-million dollar plan aims to halve suicide rates in Brimbank and Melton over the next decade. The state government launched Victoria’s 10-year mental health plan last week, announcing $27 million in funding for two suicide prevention initiatives. Community-based support trials will be rolled out through sports clubs, schools and other local networks at six regions across the state, including Brimbank and Melton, that have high suicide rates and vulnerable communities. The Health and Human Services Department will run the programs. Peninsula Health, Alfred Health, St Vincent’s Hospital, Barwon Health, Maroondah Hospital and Wangaratta Hospital will offer new services to provide patients with support. A department spokesman said the Brimbank and Melton region was selected to be part of the trial program because of the high rates of suicide and its diverse population. “It is hoped local people will strongly benefit from the program and suicide rates will reduce,” the spokesman said. “It is anticipated a large number of services and organisations across the area will be actively involved in the program, and Sunshine Hospital has the capacity to act as a central hub.” Premier Daniel Andrews said 646 Victorians committed suicide last year – double the road toll. “For every suicide, there are many more people deeply affected – family, friends, carers, colleagues and communities,” Mr Andrews said.

Game on for brave Erin Erin Shepheard was living the life of an average 18 year old – studying, working part-time and dedicating all her free time to playing footy. But suddenly being diagnosed with two rare and debilitating diseases means Erin may never be able to walk or see in colour again. Erin will soon be transferred to a spinal rehabilitation unit and her single dad may have to quit work to look after her and her two siblings. The Bacchus Marsh Football and Netball Club, for which Erin played, has created a GoFundMe account to raise money for the family and is running an online auction and a raffle. Club juniors president Darren Smith says the club is rallying around Erin and her family. “I think it’s really important we ensure Erin’s family are looked after in their time of need,” Mr Smith said. “Whether it’s an ailment, or sickness or a dad loses his job – we can all call on the footy community.” Erin visited Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital on Sunday, July 3, after coming home from work at the local supermarket with a headache. There was no diagnosis. By the Monday, the Melton teenager was unable to walk, complained of not having any feeling below her chest and being unable to see. She was taken to the Sunshine Hospital, where tests discovered lesions on her spine and brain. She was diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and neuromyelitis optica. Erin will require a wheelchair and intensive therapy. The family will need a new vehicle to transport her around. An online auction has been started on the

Facebook page of the Bacchus Marsh Residents group and raffle tickets are being sold to help raise money for the family. Mr Smith said there would be plenty of opportunity to donate at this Saturday’s home ground matches at Maddingley Park, where Bacchus Marsh will take on Melton. He is urging everyone to come along, grab a

sausage and donate whatever they can. “Erin’s only 18 – she’s still got so much in front of her,” he said. “What I saw was a girl lying in the hospital bed … but she was smiling, she was laughing, she was giggling at my stupid old-man jokes. “She was quite upbeat and beautiful. It’s hard to think that a kid could have that sort of vibrancy in this situation.”

One hundred Melton South Primary School prep pupils have celebrated 100 days of learning. There were plenty of fun activities to mark the milestone last Wednesday, prep teacher Sandy Hawkins said. “We counted 100 things, made necklaces with 100 fruit loops, each of them had to bring in a collection of 100 things. “And they also made crowns, which said ‘I’m 100 days smarter’. “The five and six-year-olds were really excited about the day, and to see how far they’d come since the start of first term. “The celebrations give them a chance to reflect on how much they’ve learned.” Sumeyya Ilanbey

Hands up for handiwork Twenty Melton Secondary College students have taken learning out of the classroom and into their own hands. As part of a new Hands on Learning (HOL) initiative at the school, students take part in building projects around the school grounds and in the community. The school’s HOL teacher, Robyn Bewley, said the teenagers were working on a mosaic couch, and hope to start building a pizza oven soon.

“It gives students the opportunity to do more with their hands and get hands-on skills,” Ms Bewley says. “All students learn differently … and this program allows students to be more engaged when they get back into the classroom.” Ms Bewley says the students would like to work with local community groups. Anyone interested can contact the school. Sumeyya Ilanbey

As the region’s top cop reassures residents that having police on the beat is better than having stations open 24/7, one local woman recalls her family’s home invasion nightmare.

Superintendent Lisa Hardeman North West Metro Division We’ve heard concern from residents about the police response in North West Metro Division 3. Let me start by saying that Caroline Springs, Sunshine, Keilor Downs and Melton are safe communities. There is a strong police presence here. That is why it’s unfortunate people in our community are feeling scared. The constant media coverage of aggravated burglaries and carjackings has led people to believe these incidents are occurring daily. That simply isn’t true. Not only is that not true but when these incidents do occur police are making quick arrests. We have also heard from the community that they want to increase the hours of Caroline Springs Police station.

I understand people want their local station open. People feel comforted knowing we’re there, even if they don’t need us. But it’s not an open station that is going to assist you – it is police on the street. We know that people rarely walk into their local station anymore, beyond wanting a signature for a statutory declaration, or reporting on bail. Our focus isn’t on administration. It’s on providing the best service to our community. And that is what we are doing. We know it’s far more effective to have police in the community providing a visible presence, responding to calls on issues such as family violence, property crime, and drug use. If we continue to provide counter-service at all stations around the clock, we compromise our ability to meet these needs. Be assured the communities of North West Metro Division 3 have access to a mobile and responsive police service 24 hours a day. That isn’t just uniform police; it also includes specialist units. If you are feeling concerned, call us at the police station, during its open hours and have a chat. If you require any police assistance please call triple-0 (000) so that the nearest and most able police unit can respond to your needs.

A waiting game for Ballan beds By Jessica Black, The Courier Taine Usher languished on a waiting list for four years before getting a bed at Ballan nursing home three weeks ago. The 68-year-old was born with an intellectual disability and four years ago was diagnosed with dementia. After a major psychotic episode in 2012, Ms Usher was forced to move from the Geelong group home in which she had lived for more than 20 years to a secure facility in North Melbourne. She was on the Ballan nursing home waiting list from the time of her episode until this month, when a bed unexpectedly became available.

Her sister, Tor Roxburgh, who lives in Ballan and works at the local hospital, of which the nursing home is part, said Ballan was the closest Ms Usher had been to living with family since going into care aged 12. “She’s visited and she’s treated like a community member, an important community member … I can’t tell you what a difference it makes for me just to be able to see her,” Ms Roxburgh said. “It’s the first time since she moved to Geelong that I live in the same city as her.” Ballan District Health Care chief executive Wayne Weaire said the bed shortage at Ballan nursing home was causing bed blocking at the hospital.

“At one stage, the week before last, we had four of our hospital beds taken up with people who needed to go into the nursing home,” he said. “We’ve been quite often stuck with being unable to take patients because our beds have been occupied by very frail elderly, aged-care people who ought to be in aged care, not in hospital taking up that vital resource.” Renovations to Ballan’s hospital and community healthcare facilities were completed in 2014. But the nursing home, which was built in 1992 and opened by then member for Ballarat Mark Ronaldson, has yet to be upgraded. Mr Weaire said the nursing home had

been “walked past” by state and federal governments. He said the home has applied six times for federal funding and twice for state funding in the past two-and-a-half years – without success. That included two applications for federal funding this year and included a proposed expansion of the facility from 52 beds to 100, to accommodate a waiting list that in the past five years has averaged been between 28 and 32 people. Mr Weaire said the not-for-profit’s facilities needed to be upgraded within the next five years or residents in need of higher level care would have to go elsewhere.

Selfie styled destressor As the pressure of VCE exams builds, a Caroline Springs medical team will meet local families to discuss ways to beat the stress. Active Medical will host two sessions at Lakeview Senior College later this month to talk about youth mental health and ways to support young people and their families. Dr Zahra Shahzad and psychologist Vanina Ventureira will cover mindfulness strategies and ways to keep stress at bay. Dr Shahzad said it is paramount that students get adequate sleep, regular meals, water and exercise, as well as being given the chance to communicate during stressful times. “There is no reason why students can’t have fun while they learn coping strategies,” Dr Shahzad said. “This is why we’re engaging them on the day with a specially created selfie

frame and relevant hashtags – to encourage continued involvement is so important.” The student mindfulness session will run from 11.40am-12.40pm on Thursday, August 25, at the school’s auditorium. Parents will get a chance to speak with the medical professionals from 6-7pm. The event is free. Details: 9363 0954 Sumeyya Ilanbey

Rainwater ‘pumped’ to homes By Sumeyya Ilanbey A trial to pump recycled stormwater to thousands of Melton South homes is the first step in a plan to save 1200 Olympic swimming pools of drinking water a year. Western Water is piloting the Toolern Stormwater Harvesting project at the Atherstone wetlands, where the pump station will capture and transfer more than 150 million litres of stormwater a year to tanks at Melton Reservoir. That water, the equivalent of about 60 Olympic pools, will then be distributed to nearby houses for flushing toilets, washing clothes and watering gardens.

The project also aims to stop pollutants entering nearby Toolern Creek and prevent disturbance to the creek’s ecology and flow patterns, often caused by high volumes of stormwater runoff during rainfall. Western Water acting chief executive Graham Holt said the project was the first stage of a stormwater harvesting scheme that would eventually involve 11 wetlands and capture 3200 million litres of water – 1200 Olympic swimming pools – a year. Mr Holt said the pump station at the Atherstone wetlands would be operating by the end of this month. “The Toolern project is not the only stormwater harvesting project in Victoria,” Mr

We must make the most of all our water resources

Holt said. “However, it’s the only urban growth precinct that has a requirement in its precinct structure plan for a reduction in drinking water use of up to 50 per cent [from average use levels]. “It is unique in having both stormwater harvesting and the supply of Class A recycled water for household use.” The pump station has been jointly funded by the Department of Environment, Land, Water

and Planning ($230,000) and Western Water ($610,000), with contributions from Southern Rural Water and Melbourne Water. State Water Minister Lisa Neville said it was important to look at alternative solutions amid declining rainfall. “We must make the most of all our water resources to create liveable, sustainable communities,” Ms Neville said. “This [project] will play a number of functions. Firstly, it protects our creeks and the Werribee River from stormwater runoff, which is very dirty water … and causes significant issues in terms of creeks and waterways. “But it also enables us to capture that water and actually send it into use.”

Flushed with loo woes The three P’s – paper, poo and pee – are all that should be flushed down the loo. Western Water has issued a warning to Melton and Moorabool families after plumbers reported an increasing number of sewer blockages caused by so-called “flushable wipes”. Bacchus Marsh-based plumber Rowan Fitzgerald said 80 per cent of blockages were caused by wipes being disposed of incorrectly. Mr Fitzgerald said that while childcare centres and sports centres were most at risk, he was seeing the problems at homes. “The trouble is the wipes stick in the drain,” he said. “They don’t flow down and they’ll stick on anything.” Western Water chief executive Graham Holt said rags, sanitary products, nappies and

cotton buds flushed down toilets, and oils and fats poured down sinks, were causing plumbers headaches. Mr Holt said that while the sewer mains were regularly inspected and monitored, he urged everyone to heed the three-P message. “Our job is made a lot easier if people don’t flush these things into the system in the first place,” Mr Holt said.

NEWS STARWEEKLY.COM.AU Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favourite place to hang out in Melton?

MY PLACE

Apart from the food outlets, I love the library. Once the new library was built, I loved it. And before that I enjoyed Navan Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I used to go to walks there after teaching. It was good to see the ducks and good to walk along the bridge.

Broden Borg, 28, served as a Melton councillor for six years until he left for Dubai in 2014. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back home for the next few weeks. He talks with Sumeyya Ilanbey.

Where was the first place you visited after coming back from Dubai? The first place I visited was actually Thai Delight in Scott Street, Melton, to catch up with uni friends. How has Melton changed since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been away? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten bigger. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown exponentially â&#x20AC;Ś I think the infrastructureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being left behind. My understanding is a certain part of the railway has been duplicated, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough. And I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard of any discussion of on and off ramps at Bulmans Road.

I grew up here â&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got grandparents who live here. Most of my family is here and all my close friends. What was your favourite thing about living in Melton? I loved that it was a big town but in a sense it had that small-town feeling. When I used to

walk down the old Woodgrove, I used to see at least 10 to 15 people [I knew]. Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendly, having a chat. What would you change about the area if you could?

percentage of youth in the town, they need access to entertainment. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to entertainment, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get bored. Every child [in Dubai] is engaged in some sort of extra curricular activity, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer, basketball, tennis, or jetskiing with their parents. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m aware those opportunities are available here, but my concerns are because the FOOD BILLis so great, parents are working cost of living long hours and multiple jobs, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to take their children.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your connection to Melton?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a different world. The people there are amazing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so kind, so generous. Although, obviously, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grown up there, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a part of that religion or culture, they made me feel extremely welcome. And I feel very safe and secure there. Compared to everything here, everything is big and grand. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a short man so I feel like an ant usually, and over there I feel like I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even be seen.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds a little gem by the tracks in Seddon Consider The Sauce has long admired the twin rows of old shops on either side of the tracks near Seddon station, on Bellairs Avenue and Pentland Parade. We’ve often wondered what the street scenes must have been like when those shops were in their heyday. And we’ve sometimes mused on how lovely it would be to see some street life returning to the area. Of course, almost all the properties concerned have been turned over to purely residential uses in the subsequent decades. So who could blame those who live there from being sensitive about and protective of their quiet neighbourhood? Fig & Walnut proprietor Vera told us that as her cafe was coming together, she did indeed have to put some serious and sincere effort into winning over the locals. She did so, and I’m betting they’re all rapt about having this business on their collective doorstep. Because Fig & Walnut is a stunner. The old shop has been done out in bright and open style, with the wooden ceilings and brickwork retained. The eating spaces include the lovely garden out back, which has a cute-as-a-button cubbyhouse, and the front room of the shop next door. The vibe here is bustling and cheerful. And the food, based on our first visit’s meals, is marvellous – and some of the dishes we eyeball that are headed elsewhere look even sexier.

FIG & WALNUT Address: 11-13 Bellairs Avenue, Seddon Phone: 0433 574 194 At a superficial glance, the menu may seem to be mostly made up of variations on the cafe theme. But the results bespeak skill, imagination and inspiration way beyond that. Bennie’s pancakes ($18) are a fantasia of colours and flavours. The gluten-free pancakes themselves are shaped like burger patties or fat cookies – and taste grainy yet also marvellous. They’re attended by maple mascarpone, saffron-poached pear, grilled figs, berries, passionfruit, and more. There are three salads on the menu, any of which can be supplemented by protein portions such as poached coconut chicken, eye fillet or salmon. I feel no need of the supplements when ordering my roasted winter root vegetable salad ($16.90). How good does it look! It tastes even better, the perfectly cooked vegetables doing a sensual tango with turmeric yogurt and rocket pesto, both of which are delivered in perfect quantities to lube things along nicely. Reads like cafe food, priced like cafe food – delivered like a flash restaurant. Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the definitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs – www.considerthesauce.net

Breathtaking from the get-go, this ranch-style residence on about 40 hectares will surely impress. There are four bedrooms and the main has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. The main bathroom has gorgeous tiling and a clawfoot bath. New period features include polished floorboards, decorative ceiling rosettes, arched entrances, deep skirts and sash windows. There are separate living spaces and the timber kitchen has a gas cooktop and an underbench oven. A full-width pergola out the back includes an alfresco area with a pizza oven. Further back is a solar-heated in-ground pool. The house has a Coonara fireplace, zoned ducted heating, evaporative cooling and ceiling fans.

Bedroom two has a walk-in wardrobe and the third has a bank of three built-in wardrobes. The kitchen has plenty of drawers and cupboard space but could do with a makeover, mainly of tiles and benchtops. There’s a sunroom through double sliders at the rear, and, with a block of about 583 square metres, there’s heaps of space in the backyard. Close to High Street and Woodgrove shopping centre, this house has cooling and gas heating, a single garage attached, with internal access, a garden shed and driveway access on both sides.

MELTON WEST 5 Robinia Court, 3337 PRD Nationwide Melton: 9747 6665

Price: $429,000 – $459,000

Flawlessly presented and with a floor plan eminently attractive to families, this spacious beauty is in a fab Melton enclave, with pretty, tree-lined Arnold’s Creek at the end of the street and all-level schools and a shopping centre with supermarket, community and medical centres and other retail outlets within a five-minute stroll. On about 660 square metres, the house steps away from the norm by having the main bedroom occupy generous space usually allocated to a seldom-used lounge room off the entry hall. This enables

Private sale

a parents-own retreat in a large room anchored by jarrah floorboards, with windows classily dressed in roman blinds – as they are throughout. The open en suite here has dual basins to the fore, while an enclosed toilet and shower are tucked behind. Dressing space behind an island feature wall includes four mirrored wardrobes. The home’s colour palette of cream, grey and mocha is also in the three other carpeted bedrooms, which are down a rear hall shared with a laundry with closet, separate toilet and main bathroom.

The light-filled, tiled living hub incorporates a classy kitchen and, through opaque-glass double doors, a big rumpus-theatre room, with more of the lovely jarrah floorboards and horizontal windows dressed in plantation shutters. A Caesarstone-topped return island bench, a butler’s pantry and Baumatic dishwasher and 900mm cooker allow the kitchen to be either a stylish entertainment hub or sleek workspace. An integrated outdoor area has grey concrete paving extending out to and under a gabled pergola, the pair delivering

plenty of relaxation and entertainment room. Yukkas in riverstones march down the side fence, and along the back where they rim a large lawn – landscaping is complete, but there’s still scope for adding personal touches. Zoned refrigerated cooling and ducted heating, a ducted vacuum system and an extended double garage with internal and rear access are fine finishers to a place that offers nearly 32 squares of living space.

Pet fashion The smart pack are hot dogs, finds Anna Kosmanovski Winter is here and all of us, even our four-legged friends, are feeling the drop in temperatures. It’s important to be aware of this, particularly for certain breeds of dogs and cats and those that are elderly or arthritic, says Nadine Dixon from Geelong Animal Welfare Society. Age and health definitely play a part in increasing the chill factor. “If I had an elderly dog, I would make sure that its bed was an elevated bed,” she says. “If an outside dog, it needs somewhere elevated … off the concrete. “If the dog is old or a little bit arthritic, it’s good to have a jacket on them to keep that warmth in.” Nadine says arthritic and elderly dogs should have regular vet checks. Very cold weather can exacerbate a medical condition. Options such as stretcher beds are good for outside dogs, she says. Some breeds will feel the cold more than others. “The short-coated dogs are very perceptive of cold weather [as are small] dogs like the little Maltese-crosses and shih tzu crosses,” Nadine says. Owners should put coats or jackets on these dogs to help keep them at a “constant, comfortable” body temperature, especially if the dog has had its coat trimmed. “It’s important for them to have a coat after they get their hair cut,” Nadine says. A jacket is an easy solution, especially in winter. Whether a dog has an elevated, warm bed on the verandah or an indoor bed is a personal decision for owners. “It really depends on what people see their dog as,” Nadine says.

“Dogs are companions. They love to be in the household, they love to be a part of the family. And so do cats. Generally, there’s nothing greater for them than to be stretched out in front of a fireplace with their blanket or their jacket on … it’s them being a part of the family in the house.” There’s an extensive range of dog jackets, coats, blankets and fashion accessories available. They range from on-trend tartan to denim jackets, even Driza-Bones. “Some [dogs] have two jackets,” Nadine says. “They have an outside jacket that’s semi or fully waterproof, and they have something knitted or fleecy for indoors.” Cats, meanwhile, will usually shun anything wearable. They’re happier with the coat they were born with. Melissa Hancock, from Petbarn Waurn Ponds, says cats will usually grow a winter coat, or an undercoat, at this time of year. Certain breeds, however, such as the Cornish rex and sphynx, do not and will feel the cold. Nadine suggests cat igloos (“where they can also feel more safe and secure”) as a wintry retreat. She’s found they work well although, she says, some cats will still “squeeze you out of the bed to get under the Doona”.

47 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 2, 2016

SPORT Thoroughbreds get early look at finals opponent Melton Thoroughbreds have been given a first-hand preview of what to expect in the opening round of Big V men’s division 1 finals. The Thoroughbreds, who were already guaranteed to finish fourth, played ladder leaders Blackburn on Saturday night. And they meet them again this weekend for a place in the preliminary final. The first time the two teams met this season, in round two, the Vikings won by 21 points. The Vikings, who haven’t lost since round one, won 81-79 on Saturday.

Thoroughbreds coach Julie McCallum said there was a lot to take out of the latest game, despite the result. “We didn’t play as well as we’d have liked but we showed what we can do,” McCallum said. “We took it to each other even though nobody was playing for anything. “There were a lot of encouraging signs and we made them fight all the way to the end.” With Shane Moroney not playing, the Thoroughbreds struggled to match it with the Vikings for height and were made to pay. “We were undersized and they out-rebounded us by about 20 rebounds,”

McCallum said. “We also killed our chances at the foul line. We were terrible [making just seven of 18 attempts]. “If we get a few more rebounds and shoot better from the foul line we win the game.” Ivan Harris top-scored for Melton with 18 points, while Jason Todorov and Billy Feben each chipped in with 13. McCallum said Moroney would return to the side this week. After achieving their first aim of making the top four, McCallum said the Thoroughbreds, last season’s division one champions, would like to make it back-to-back grand finals.

“The first goal is to win this week and get home finals for as long as possible,” she said. “I think last year will help. Finals is a whole different game as we found out last year. “The guys are aware of that.” The Thoroughbreds division 2 youth league side’s season has come to an end. After sneaking into the finals, the Thoroughbreds suffered a first-up loss, 75-73 against Corio Bay. Liam Allison top-scored with 17 points for the Thoroughbreds. Tara Murray

Long trek for a quick KO By Tara Murray Having tasted success in Victoria, Bacchus Marsh boxer Mitchell Clark returned to his home state of Western Australia recently for a new challenge. Clark, with a 10-1 record, including winning the Victorian State super middleweight title earlier this year, took on Aswin Cabuy for the Western Australian state light heavyweight title. The trek across the Nullarbor proved a long trip for what turned out to be a short fight. “I knocked him out in 48 seconds,” Clark said last week. “I was really shocked. “It was like I walked out into the ring and had to walk straight back out. “It’s a great result to get the state title.” The result doesn’t come as a surprise to those who know Clark. He spent his first 10 years living in Perth before moving to Horsham. Two years ago he moved to Bacchus Marsh to train with Danny Kay and pursue a professional boxing career. Clark also trains with IBO world title-holder Zac Dunn. While juggling an intensive training load, Clark still works part-time. Despite being just 21, Clark has accumulated a big reputation. He has won nine of his fights, either by knock-out or technical knock-out. “Everyone has been a lot older, at least six years. “They’re starting to realise I’m not here to play games,” Clark said. “I want to do this for a living, and I’m working hard to achieve that.” His one loss – his first attempt at the Victorian State super middleweight title – came via a points decision. That fight proved one of the biggest challenges of his short career. “I lost over eight rounds after busting my knuckle in the second round. “I was unhappy with how I went in the rest of the fight, but I made him fight for it.” Clark doesn’t have to wait long for his next fight – he headlines the Once Upon a Time fight night, hosted by Team Ellis. He will take on Clint Alderton for the Victorian light heavyweight title. “I just want to continue to try and have great success,” Clark said. “I want to try and travel around Australia, as the biggest key is getting myself known. By being known, you get more opportunities. “I’m looking at definitely heading back to Perth early next year, and I might even look at going to New Zealand.” The Once Upon A Time event will be at Melbourne Pavilion on August 26.

Mitchell Clark has added the Western Australia state light heavyweight title to his collection. (Supplied) 48 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 2, 2016

Defeat wrecks Jets’ finals prospects Western Jets slumped to a fifth straight loss on Saturday and kissed goodbye to their TAC Cup finals hopes. The Jets’ season crash landed with a 62-point loss to premiership contenders Dandenong Stingrays at Shepley Oval. It was yet another game when the Jets had to make do without a number of their private school stars, leaving them severely undermanned. They were competitive for a half but could not sustain it. The half-time deficit was 26 points before the Stingrays put the foot down with eight goals to three in the second half. Brodie Romensky was named best for the Jets – not for the first time. He has been in sizzling form since representing Vic Metro at the under-18 national championships with his tackling pressure and link-up play a feature. Oscar Junker, Ryan Carter and Wilson Berry also impressed for the Jets, while Billy Sullivan and Tristan Xerri snared two goals apiece. The Jets will merely be playing for pride next time they take to the field, against Bendigo Pioneers at Queen Elizabeth Oval on August 14. In better news, the Western Jets will have three players – under-18 championships All-Australian Daniel Venables, Judah Dundon and Oscar Junker – attend the 2016 AFL draft combine. To be one of the 80 players selected, a player needs to have been nominated by at least five AFL clubs. The players will converge at Etihad Stadium in October for a series of tests to assess athletic traits, football skills and even personality and character. Lance Jenkinson

Roos stay in finals race By Tara Murray Sunbury Kangaroos kept in touch with the Riddell District Football League top six with a strong win over Rockbank on Saturday. The Kangaroos did what they had to against the winless Rams in just one of three RDFL matches in the second round of bye weeks. The Kangaroos controlled the game from the first bounce but were left to rue poor kicking, and after 12 scoring shots in the first quarter they had only a 20-point lead to show for it. Although it was a similar story for the rest of the match, the win was never in doubt and the Roos got home 12.24 (96)-3.5 (23). Ryan Pretty kicked four goals and veteran Jamie Cuffe three for the winners. Michael Greenwood, Mark Stevens and Jared Warwick kicked the goals for the Rams. The Kangaroos’ Zane Williams continued his return to form and was named best on ground. Stevens was best for the Rams. The win moves the Kangaroos to within a game of sixth-placed Wallan, after the Magpies lost to second-placed Macedon. The Magpies pushed the Cats all the way in difficult scoring conditions but eventually went down 8.7 (55)-7.6 (48). After trailing by 22 points at quarter-time, the Magpies kicked six goals in the second quarter to hold an eight-point lead starting the second half. But they were held to just five points for the rest of the match and that proved costly. Riddell defeated Woodend-Hesket 10.16 (76)-7.2 (44) in the other match. This weekend sees the league return to a full complement of matches.

EDFL

A massive win against Northern Saints has resulted in Hillside returning to the top four in EDFL division 1. The Sharks knew facing the winless Saints was a good opportunity for a percentage-boosting win. They won 26.12 (168)-6.3 (39). The win, along with Oak Park sneaking over the line against Glenroy, puts the Sharks ahead of Oak Park on percentage.

49 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 2, 2016

SPORT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Devils struggle against descent into no-man’s land A bye couldn’t have come at a better time for the Darley Devils. After a slow start to the Ballarat Football League season, the Devils seemed to have regained the form that won the premiership last season – they knocked off the until then undefeated Lake Wendouree in round 12. But the good form wasn’t to continue, and the Devils suffered successive 90-plus point losses, which puts the side among four others fighting it out for the last finals spot. Devils’ coach Jarrod Edwards said it had been a frustrating past two weeks. “To be honest, the bye has come at a good time,” he said. “After the Lake Wendouree match, we lost

four guys, and then another couple out of the Bacchus Marsh game. “We’re struggling for depth, and the guys we’ve lost have been at our top end. “We’ve struggled to replace them.” Edwards said he hoped that the side would regain a few players after the bye. “We had seven or eight players missing from the side that we fielded against Redan. We only had six players from last year’s grand final playing. “It has been frustrating but we hope to get a few back in the next few weeks.” One player who won’t be back this season is stand-in captain Darren Leonard, who had surgery to fix a broken leg.

He joins captain Shane Page, who has missed most of the year with a shoulder injury, on the sidelines. Edwards knows the task to make finals is a tough one. The Devils currently sit seventh on the ladder, percentage behind Melton. Ballarat are a further game back with East Point two games behind. The Devils face fifth-placed North Ballarat City, win-less Melton South and third-placed Sunbury Lions in the last three weeks. “It’s touch and go to make finals,” Edwards said. “Hopefully, we can pinch a couple of wins. “The last couple of weeks haven’t helped percentage wise, so we need to win games,” he said.

“We need to win at least two games, and we are away from home for all three games. “All three games are knock-out finals.” The Devils weren’t the only side with a bye at the weekend, with Bacchus Marsh and Melton also enjoying the weekend off. Melton South, though, was one team to get on the field on Saturday to take on Ballarat. The Panthers were in the match until half time, but the Swans’ class showed through in the second half for their 25.18 (168)-9.11 (65) win. Brendan Hooper and Benjamin Sortino kicked two goals each for the Panthers, with Sortino named best in the loss. Tara Murray

Stallions draw on youth spirit

Caroline Springs forward Mathew Sutton feels the pain after a behind-the-play incident. (Damian Visentini)

Finals a first for Lakers By Lance Jenkinson Caroline Springs full-forward Mathew Sutton had to go to hospital on Saturday night after a behind-the-play scuffle left him with concussion and a suspected broken nose. Sutton was helped from the field by Lakers trainers with blood gushing from his nose and opposition North Footscray confirmed later that defender Tyson Bock had been reported. Caroline Springs football director Marc Raak said he was disappointed by the outcome of the physical exchange but would let the tribunal hearing take its course. “We’re not too happy that one of our players got treated that way, but what do you do?” Raak told Star Weekly. “You leave it to the umpires to adjudicate the game and leave it to the tribunal to hand down their decision. “The right thing has happened … he was reported. “We’ll go to the tribunal and state our case and they’ll state their case, then we’ll let the committee of the WRFL and the tribunal take over and see what happens.” Caroline Springs wound up losing the WRFL 50 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 2, 2016

division 2 top-three tussle by 61 points at Town Centre Oval. The loss all but extinguished the Lakers’ hopes of a prized top-two finish, which comes with the bonus of a double chance. Barring a miraculous turn of events, the Lakers cannot move from third on the ladder, which is fine by them. “For the first time in Caroline Springs’ history, we’re going to finish third and play finals in senior football,” Raak said. “We’re achieving what we wanted to achieve and that’s play in the finals. Hopefully, we can go deep into the finals. “We’ve grown every year for the last three years but just haven’t played finals. “It’s going to be huge for our club and it’s going to be huge for our community out in Caroline Springs. “We’re really looking forward to the challenge.” Caroline Springs was thought to be on a par with top two North Footscray and Yarraville-Seddon in the premiership race, but some might be asking if the other two have edged their noses in front. So far this season the Lakers have failed

to get the job done in blockbuster matches featuring the big three, with a 1-4 record, while Yarraville-Seddon is 3-1 and North Footscray is 3-2. Raak defended his side’s record and warned against counting his team out. “If you look at the Yarraville game last time, it was game-on at three-quarter time, so we know we were in the hunt there,” he said after Saturday’s match. “North Footscray is 2-1 [against Caroline Springs], but we have beaten them at their home ground. “We’re a little bit concerned but we’re not going to read too much into it. “We know our best football can beat North Footscray, we’ve shown that, and we’ve also been competitive for three quarters against Yarraville. “We need to produce a four-quarter effort and play better than what we did today. Hopefully, that will be enough to go to the next level.” Caroline Springs will visit fourth-placed Glen Orden on Saturday. These two sides are likely to meet again in a cut-throat game in the first week of the finals.

Having secured its first point since May, Spring Hills is aiming at the winners’ list in FFV state league 4 west. It’s been tough for Spring Hills in recent times. While on field struggles have put the team into the relegation zone it also parted ways with coach Darren Traynor. On Saturday, the side showed that not all is lost this season as it fought out a 1-1 draw with fourth-placed Sebastopol Vikings. Captain Tom Markovski says things are looking rosier for the Stallions with four rounds remaining. “We have recently departed with our coach and we’re learning how to play a different system,” he said. “We thought the change was due – we weren’t playing too crash hot and some of our senior players had gone away on holidays. “We decided that we would look to start playing more of our under-20 players.” David Maglovski who was reserves coach at NPL side Werribee City last year, has taken over as coach. Markovski said the decision to play more of the younger players was showing benefits. “They probably need another year at the lower level, but they’ve come in and played well,” he said. On Saturday, the Stallions got the opener through Dylan Magro in the first half. The Vikings levelled the scores after the break to secure a draw. “They are a top-four side and a good team,” Markovski said. “We led early but couldn’t hold on and finished with a draw. It was a well-deserved draw.” While happy to get the point, Markovski said his side needed to win games to avoid relegation. The bottom two teams at the end of the season will be relegated. The Stallions are second from the bottom. Bottom side Maribyrnong Green has already withdrawn from the competition. Only six points separates the Stallions and Truganina Hornets, who are eighth. “We have four winnable games,” Markovski said of the road ahead. “We play sides that are towards the bottom of the ladder.” The first of those matches, on Saturday, is against local rival Melton Phoenix. Phoenix’s match against Balmoral on Saturday was washed out. Tara Murray

MOTOR Do your Block over a hot hatch By Andrew MacLean

generation Focus RS is a permanent addition to the range. It’s also more practical, coming in as a five-door (rather than three-door), more powerful and faster and, for the first time, has an all-wheel drive transmission – the key to unleashing its Drift mode party trick.

(Supplied)

Anyone can be Ken Block in the new Ford Focus RS. All it takes is a push of a button and a heavy right foot. It is that simple. The American stuntman has become an automotive hero for a modern generation of performance car enthusiasts thanks to his YouTube series of Gymkhana videos – a collection of flicks filled with tyre-frying, death-defying, sideways-sliding action that has earned him millions of fans (and dollars) and even a place on the development team for the blue oval’s latest pocket rocket. The hot hatch segment has a new king in Ford’s potent dynamo. The Block influence is obvious as soon as you activate the five-door hot hatch’s unique drift mode, one of four drive settings that allows – and even encourages – the same kind of heroic driving antics for which he has become renowned. Surprisingly in this day and age where electronic driver aids largely dilute the level of engagement and involvement in modern performance cars, the Focus RS uses modern technology to amplify every element of the driving experience to the point where it re-sets the hot hatch benchmark. While technically on-sale in Australia from this month, with this year’s allocation of roughly 500 cars already sold, new customers will be hard pressed getting behind the wheel until early next year. But unlike its predecessor, which was restricted to just 310 units locally, this

Priced from $50,990 (plus on-road costs), the flagship Focus lines up against well-established rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf R and Renault Megane RS Trophy R, but it eclipses them in terms of performance and offers a more affordable alternative to premium European

hot hatches such as the Mercedes-AMG A45 and Audi RS3. It straddles the two tiers thanks to its Mustang-sourced 2.3-litre turbo-charged four-cylinder that has been re-engineered to sit across the engine bay and elevates peak outputs to 257kW and 440Nm (rising to 470Nm in a temporary overboost mode) that is good enough to propel it from 0-100km/h in 4.7 seconds when using the launch control function. It’s a crackerjack of a motor that is as flexible as it is fast. The whole car comes alive the harder you drive it. The revised steering, which features a unique linear rack with just two turns lock-to-lock rather than the variable one in the mainstream Focus models, is accurate. While the driving experience raises the bar for fast, affordable fun, the rest of the package lacks the polish of its European rivals. The overall styling is more purposeful than pretty, from the big gaping holes in its front bumper to the chunky rally-style rear wing and lower diffuser. The cabin is mostly mainstream Focus with the exception of auxillary gauges on top of the dash and the lightweight racing seats that offer plenty of lateral support but could be perched lower. But that is really nitpicking. Any shortcomings are the furthest things from your consciousness when you think you look like Ken Block. Test drive the Focus RS at Werribee Ford, corner Heath and Morris roads Hoppers Crossing. www.westpointford.com.au
