Let’s drape the town red, white and blue – in celebration and in anticipation. This is the week that Western Bulldogs fans have dreamed about for 55 years. The Bulldogs are heading to the AFL grand final, where they will meet the Sydney Swans in a fight to the death at MCG on Saturday. The Dogs already have reason to celebrate, having ended a preliminary final hoodoo dating back to 1985. They have suffered through seven losing preliminary finals – but will suffer no more. The memories of so many wasted opportunities and heartbreaking moments can finally be replaced by Jack Macrae’s calm match-winning set shot in the triumph over GWS Giants at Spotless Stadium on Saturday evening. That was not the only cause for celebration for Bulldogs fans at the weekend. After invading Sydney, the convoy moved to the more familiar surroundings of Etihad Stadium for the VFL grand final on Sunday. The Dogs produced scintillating football in a 31-point mauling of Casey Scorpions to win the flag. Lance Jenkinson

Bridge over troubled rail By Alexandra Laskie Road-over-rail is the only option being considered for the Melton Highway level crossing removal, despite fears from residents that motorists will have clear views into their backyards. The state government’s Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) has confirmed the road-over-rail decision. Road-over-rail, which will include construction of a road running between Overton Lea Boulevard and the western entrance to the Watergardens Town Centre carpark, has been the authority’s “preferred

proposed design” since the project was announced. Several community consultation sessions were held in March and May and ongoing discussions are being held with Drysdale Avenue residents, whose properties will be most affected. But one resident, who did not want to be named, said a road bridge would be an invasion of his family’s privacy. “Our land backs on to the Melton Highway where the road bridge will be,” he said. “We’re concerned it will become a haven for youths to loiter there, and when traffic is banked up, they will have clear visibility of our backyard.”

The LXRA has said it was aware of community concern about the road-over-rail option, particularly in relation to the impact on Drysdale Avenue properties. But in a Brimbank council report the authority said: “While community feedback is being considered and will inform final design, the road-over-rail option is the only option being considered.” Road-over-rail was chosen because the area is built on dense basalt, which is difficult to tunnel through. The site is also on a high water table, making it prone to flooding. A tunnel would also have required the rail sidings at Watergardens train station to be

moved, which would be “expensive, would lengthen rail and commuting delays and potentially impact the station”, according to the LXRA’s website. The level crossing removal was first announced as an election promise in 2014. That year, 2500 residents signed a petition calling for the crossing’s removal. Bids for the contract to remove the crossing closed last week. The winning tender will be announced next month and the project is on track for works to start next year. LXRA project director Tony Hedley said the authority would continue to consult with the community.

Fewer in barrier for council race By Sumeyya Ilanbey Forty candidates are in the race for nine seats on Melton council at next month’s local government elections. Just over 70 candidates stood at the previous election. Cambridge ward councillor Nola Dunn will not be contesting her seat, but 14 others have put up their hands and are vying for one of three vacancies in the ward, which takes in Melton’s eastern corridor. There are 10 candidates for the Watts ward, which includes Diggers Rest, Toolern Vale, Hillside and Taylors Hill, and 16 for

Coburns ward. Following the Victorian Electoral Commission’s (VEC’s) review of local government electoral boundaries, there will be two extra councillors for the next four years. Meanwhile, Moorabool council’s Tom Sullivan has been guaranteed to retain his seat on council, after the VEC revealed last week he was the only person contesting the West Moorabool ward, which takes in Lal Lal, Elaine, Mt Egerton and Yendon. There are 12 candidates, including three women, running for another six vacancies on Moorabool council. East Moorabool ward councillor John Spain has pulled out of the race. Municipal Association of Victoria chief

executive Rob Spence said he was pleased with the number of candidates statewide ready to join the election race. “The high number of candidates shows that many passionate residents are ready to take on an influential role in their communities,” Mr Spence said. “Putting your hand up to become an influential voice of a community can be a daunting first step in the election process, yet it’s clear that many are ready to embrace the challenges and rewards of being a councillor.” Local councils’ caretaker period started on Wednesday, September 22, meaning councils are prohibited from printing, publishing and

distributing material that could affect voting. Councils also cannot make inappropriate or significant decisions or use resources to aid candidates. Melton council chief executive Kel Tori encouraged candidates to contact the VEC for advice and visit the council website for information about policies and meetings. “The strong number of candidates indicates a genuine interest in local government and the important role it plays in the life of our community,” Mr Tori said. The local government elections are on Saturday, October 22. For information about the election, or candidates, visit vec.vic.gov.au

Green bins get thumbs up Moorabool council will begin offering its residents a green-bin service in the new year in a bid to reduce landfill. Waste services company KG Coy & Sons was awarded the contract for the collection, removal and disposal of greenwaste at Moorabool council’s September 14 meeting. The service will cost each household $80 to $100 a year, depending on take-up rates, plus the cost of a new bin. The fee will be added to annual rates notices. Moorabool council infrastructure manager Phil Jeffrey says the service will start in January. The greenwaste will be collected fortnightly and taken to a composting facility at Mount Wallace to be processed for landscaping and agricultural purposes. “About 15 to 20 per cent of kerbside garbage is made up of garden organics so the introduction of this new service is expected to divert up to 1000 tonnes from landfill each year,” Mr Jeffrey said. “Many environmental and economic benefits can be gained and we encourage residents to take up the service.” Earlier this year, following community consultation, Moorabool councillors voted in favour of providing the green-bin service to urban areas of the shire on a trial basis. Council officers will notify eligible residents in late October. Moorabool Environment Group president Ben Courtice said he hoped this new service could make a “big difference” to the amount of waste going to landfill. Details: 5366 7100

Landfill bid halts church plans By Sumeyya Ilanbey An Ethiopian Orthodox group says it is in limbo as it awaits a decision on the future of the Ravenhall landfill. About two years ago, members of the St Michael Ethiopian Orthodox Church bought property at 5 Grace Way, Ravenhall, about four kilometres from the landfill site, with plans to build a bigger, “more traditional” church. But church spokesman Haileluel Gebre-Selassie said there was a cloud hanging over the project as a planning panel considers Cleanaway’s application to expand the landfill. Mr Gebre-Selassie told Star Weekly plans to

build a bigger church had come to a halt. “We didn’t know about the plans for the landfill when we moved to that area,” Mr Gebre-Selassie said. “We knew the landfill was going to finish in 18 years … now [Cleanaway] are applying not only for an extension of the landfill, but the period as well. “That really scares us. “The area would be congested and very dangerous for our members if the landfill is expanded … we are concerned about the impact of this landfill.” Mr Gebre-Selassie said more than 1000 parishioners attended the church every week

‘‘

The area would be … very dangerous

and parishioners were concerned about the potential health and odour impacts from the site. He has urged the state government and the planning panel to consider their concerns. Earlier this year, the state government called in Cleanaway’s planning application to expand the size, and extend the life, of the Ravenhall landfill.

The application, lodged with Melton council on February 29, proposed to expand the landfill operations by 311 hectares to the west and north-west of the existing landfill area, and to extend the permit’s life to 2069. Planning Minister Richard Wynne said hearings started on Wednesday, September 28, and would run for a month. “The independent panel is jointly considering the planning permit application and the EPA works approval application,” Mr Wynne said. “It will then make its recommendation to the minister for planning who will make his decision in due course.” Cleanaway was contacted for comment.

Roadsafe Westgate Media Release for Grand Final Holiday Weekend 2016 Road Policing Operation Operation Scoreboard (AFL Grand Final long weekend from Friday 30 September to Sunday 2 October 2016) is identified as a period of potentially high risk to the Victorian community in terms of exposure to road trauma.

contributing factor in most road crashes. Therefore stay within the speed limit and drive to suit the conditions you face. Speeding affects both the risk of a crash happening and the severity of injuries sustained when a crash does happen.

Road Policing Advisor Senior Sergeant Ross Burbidge said the AFL Grand Final public holiday on Friday 30 September 2016 provides an opportunity for families to free themselves from their usual commitments and it is anticipated that large numbers of people will use Victorian roads, often driving long distances in unfamiliar driving conditions. The times of highest risk are when people are leaving for holiday destinations and returning home.

Mr Giddings said the work of his group along with initiatives like the 2016 Operation Scoreboard Campaign for the AFL Grand Final Holiday long weekend would hopefully reduce the number of serious road crashes on our roads. He asked the community to report speeding drivers to Crime stoppers number 1800 333 000

Police will be targeting the main causes of fatalities and serious injuries in crashes which are: • Excessive speed • Driver distraction • Restraint non-compliance • Fatigue • Impaired driving (Alcohol and/or Drug) Motorists are requested to stay within the speed limit, don’t drink alcohol or take drugs and drive, leave your mobile phone out of reach, wear your seatbelt/child restraints and make sure you are well rested. Speed Cameras will be rostered in known high collision locations.

12321875-LB36-16 10044119-01

Fatigue is one of the biggest killers on Victorian roads. Drivers are requested to plan their trip, be patient and ensure that you take at least a 15 minutes break at least every two hours and don’t drive if you are tired. Drivers planning to travel during this period can expect to see an increase in vehicles travelling on our major Freeways and Highways throughout the State. Road trauma isn’t just about the people who die – it’s about the enormous impact on the community, from the family members, to the emergency services workers who have to deal with these tragedies on a daily basis, to the police who have to deliver the devastating news to loved ones. All of the community has a responsibility and a role to play in reducing road trauma. Remember, travel safety so that you arrive at your destination safely and enjoy your Grand Final Holiday weekend. RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council Chairman Mr Jim Giddings said it has been demonstrated time after time that speed is a

The pupils will assemble at Navan Park at 8.30 each morning during October before walking to school as a group. “The kids get excited walking to school with their teachers,” Ms Henaway says. “It gets them out walking and gives them independence.” Sumeyya Ilanbey

Before embarking on any driving trips drivers should check their tyres, windscreen washers, brakes and lights.

DRIVING IS NOT A GAME! SPEED KILLS!

Holiday driving has its challenges and drivers should drive in the hours they are normally awake, take regular breaks to reduce fatigue and allow extra space between vehicles. Drivers need to adapt to the conditions of the road, the onus is always on the driver to suit the conditions they are facing, and that includes the quality of the road. If you plan to have a drink then plan not to drive, taking a big risk like drink and driving is just not worth endangering your live or other road users.

Melton Uniting Church Op Shop has moved to its new home. Manager Peter Swann is encouraging residents to check out the new digs at 16 Brooklyn Road, Melton South. The shop is open on Thursdays and Fridays, 10am-3pm, and Saturdays, 10am-12.30pm. More information: 9747 6033.

Melton rides building boom By Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton is experiencing a building boom, with permits for projects valued at $500 million issued in the past financial year. There were more than 2600 building permits approved in Melton in the 2015-16 year – an 11 per cent increase on the year before, according to the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). The value of the permits surged by more than 18 per cent in 2015-16 year compared with 2014-15. The biggest single-building permit was a $77 million permit issued for a healthcare building, office and residential units as part of the Ravenhall Prison Project, a new medium-security men’s prison near the Metropolitan Remand Centre that will accommodate up to 1000 prisoners. The top five 2015-16 building permits in the municipality included a $32.5 million accommodation and office project in Ravenhall, a $27 million accommodation facility in Ravenhall and a $23 million warehouse and office development in Ravenhall. A VBA spokeswoman would not provide more details about the projects. Meanwhile, the biggest single-building permit issued in 2014-15 was for a $9 million warehouse, office and factory development in Truganina. The value of permits issued in Moorabool exceeded the $100 million mark in 2015-16

and included a $4.5 million community hub in Darley and a $3.7 million Bacchus Marsh supermarket fit-out. And while the number of Moorabool permits issued in the past financial year was less than the year before, there was an 11 per cent jump in the value.

‘‘

Permits reported in 2015-16 jumped 4.4 per - Prue Digby cent

’’

VBA chief executive Prue Digby said Victoria experienced a building boom in the 2015-16 year, with the value of work for which permits were being sought exceeding the $31 billion mark for the first time. “At $31.5 billion, the total value of building permits reported by Victorian building surveyors is 12.3 per cent higher than the record of $28 billion set in the 2014-15 financial year,” Ms Digby said. “The number of building permits reported in 2015-16 jumped 4.4 per cent to 110,069 – the second highest number on record after the 113,668 reported in 2009-10.” Melbourne’s north-west experienced some of the biggest growth, according to the VBA data – a 21.7 per cent increase to $895 million in 2015-16. Melton and Moorabool councils were contacted for comment.

Lyn Bonney is a Legatee in the Melton area. (Kristian Scott)

Their legacy continues When Lyn Bonney became a Legatee more than 15 years ago, she never thought she’d be there for the long haul. Since she began, she’s helped about 100 other women … and she has no plans to stop. The Melton woman visits war widows and the families of Defence Force veterans to tell them about Legacy and how it can help them. “We used to have a Legacy widows group meeting, and I used to encourage them to attend, to be with women of a similar age, similar problems,” Ms Bonney said. “But our group, unfortunately, disbanded

because of an age problem … so these days, I mainly ask them if they need financial assistance from Legacy, or if they need advice to access services.” Ms Bonney says she gets “great satisfaction” from helping people out, meeting other women and socialising with people who have got widows’ interests at heart. Legacy welcomes inquiries from people wanting to help widows and families as mentors. Details: legacy.com.au Sumeyya Ilanbey

Anger management Anger is a “blight” on society, according to Melton pastor Albert Peck. In a bid to help the town’s men deal with their anger, and express it in healthier ways, Melton Baptist Church is offering a 10-week men’s anger management course. The church offered the course last year and it was highly successful, Pastor Peck said. “Some people don’t know how to deal with their anger, how to express it, and are struggling with how to let it go,” he said. “This is doing significant damage to families and society; the breach of trust, breach of boundaries … and, of course, the terrible ramifications of physical violence, which are

a real blight on our society. It shouldn’t be tolerated and it shouldn’t be accepted.” The sessions explore issues such as “the language of anger”. Pastor Peck said he didn’t profess to be offering easy solutions or fixing immediate problems. “It’s a tool, it’s a process,” he said of the course’s approach. The first session will be held at Melton Baptist Church, 1 West Melton Drive, Melton West, on Tuesday, October 4, from 6.30pm. Details: 9743 5521

Recycling key to future

Drug addiction brought home

By Sumeyya Ilanbey A $10 million upgrade to the Melton Recycled Water Plant is expected to address the challenges of climate change and improve the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewerage sludge facility. Western Water (WW) unveiled its corporate plan earlier this month, announcing it will invest $80 million in capital works, including upgrades to the Sunbury, Gisborne and Melton recycled-water plants. WW says it hopes to work closely with local governments, developers and planning authorities to ensure water management is incorporated in planning of new communities. WWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate plan also anticipates a 12.3 per cent increase in household prices over five years from 2018, and has cited population growth as the main driver of the price increase. It predicts the population to grow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mainly around Melton and Sunbury â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by about 20 per cent by 2023. A spokeswoman said WW had been working on a staged series of upgrades to the Melton plant for the past nine years, with more than $50 million invested over this period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has included stage one and two upgrades to the main plant, the addition of the Class-A recycled water plant, which treats water to a standard high enough for household use, and the biogas co-generation facility, which burns waste gas to produce electricity,â&#x20AC;? she said. The $10 million upgrade is stage three of the upgrades and will cost about $4.5 million this financial year. The upgrades to the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bio-solids facility include a new building for equipment, new anaerobic digester and new biogas storage. The spokeswoman said this would ensure WW could continue to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe and

effectiveâ&#x20AC;? sewerage services to Meltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing population. Water quality and sewerage services are not expected to be affected during the upgrades, which are due to start in early 2017 and be finished by mid-2018.

A community engagement reference group has been appointed and residents are being encouraged to get involved and have their say. For details about the group, the upgrades or corporate plan, visit westernwater.com.au

Moorabool Drug Action Group will use a $10,000 grant to tackle ice use at the grassroots. MDAG was among 12 groups sharing $118,000 in state government grants for workshops, forums, local campaigns, training and community engagement. MDAG member Senior Constable Jim Ross said the group would hold awareness and education workshops, delivered over six sessions, to local businesses, service providers and community members. The group hopes to reach at least 500 people over coming months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If one person is addicted to drugs, it affects the rest of the family and community,â&#x20AC;? Senior Constable Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ice seems to be the main trend of conversation at the moment â&#x20AC;Ś but there are other drugs that are used more than ice, such as heroin.â&#x20AC;? The group hopes to make the workshops ongoing. Senior Constable Ross said the funding would establish a foundation for the project, and it is hoped businesses and other services will back it. Moorabool council chief executive Rob Croxford said the grant was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fantastic outcome for our communityâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moorabool Drug Action Group [now has] a platform to develop stronger collaborative relationships â&#x20AC;Ś to ensure ongoing community capacity building beyond the life of the project itself,â&#x20AC;? Mr Croxford said. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Housing program gives new hope By Sumeyya Ilanbey Four young adults without a roof over their heads have found long-term affordable housing in Melton, thanks to a Hope Street program that helps young people get into private rentals. The Hope to Home program was launched last year in a bid to reduce the risks for young people out of home by breaking down the barriers that contribute to homelessness, and helping them develop tenancy life-skills. Hope Street has partnered with Gandel Philanthropy, and Raine and Horne Melton. Community integration facilitator Katie

Mochan said Raine and Horne real estates speak to landlords and advocate on behalf of young people to encourage them to lease their properties. As part of the program, Hope Street provides rental subsidies and joint-lease signatories for six months, as well as helping with employment opportunities and case-management support for young people. “We believe these young people will be able to maintain the rent [thereafter],” Ms Mochan said. “And we’ll co-lease for the first six months – that’s the draw for landlords.

“They know they’re not just taking a gamble with young people they don’t know.” Ms Mochan said the four young people the group has helped most recently – two couples – will move into their new homes this week. “Both couples are really keen to move in to Melton,” she said. “I think they’re just really grateful they’ve got people supporting them. “What they’ve gone through hasn’t been particularly fun for them, so they’re grateful that there is support for them.” Ms Mochan said young people find it extremely hard to get tenancies without anybody advocating for them.

“Young people, in general, don’t have the skills or confidence or knowledge to find for themselves what they’re entitled to, which is affordable housing. “Without services like ours, you would have more homeless young people.” Young people aged 18-25 currently in the Melton Hope Street program, and with links to the Melton municipality, who receive an income that allows for independent living and are willing to be linked to education or employment opportunities, are eligible for the Hope to Home program. For more information, visit www.hopest.org.

Support for walk of life Dekuek was given sponsorship for an education, which she describes as her “strongest weapon”. Without their support, she says, how would she have completed her studies? “It pulled me out of those duties and has given me a peace of mind. Once we empower a child, it’s not only her life we’re improving – we’re empowering generations … and we’re pulling them out of a life of poverty.” Ms Dekuek has been announced as an ambassador for humanitarian organisation CARE’s Walk in Her Shoes campaign. Ms Dekuek is urging everyone to walk or run any time from October 10-23, or to donate to those who are participating. “I’ve lead the same life as those people we’re trying to help; I walked in the same shoes.” Details: walkinhershoes.org.au.

At eight, Deruka Dekuek would walk 10 kilometres a day under a sweltering South Sudan sun to fetch buckets of clean water. After leaving her family home at 5am, Ms Dekuek says she never knew if she would come back home alive. “We had no choice,” she says. “I had to do those duties in order to survive. I did not have the luxury to say: ‘I’m not feeling well, I have to stay at home’. The Melton South woman says she was forced to grow up and take on responsibilities at a very young age – and this has had a marked impact on the 32-year-old’s physical and mental wellbeing. “Sometimes my feet would bleed because I was walking bare foot … and it’s more than 40 degrees in South Sudan all year round,” Ms Dekuek says.

Welfare system shake-up fears By Sumeyya Ilanbey The federal government’s latest effort to break the cycle of welfare dependence without supporting vulnerable people has been described as “just a Band-Aid effort”. Brimbank-Melton community legal centre chief executive Rachna Muddagouni said ensuring young people were not dependent on the welfare system, and helping them become self-reliant, was a “glorious goal” to be working towards. But she said punitive approaches and a failure to look at issues that lead to people being dependent on welfare services was not a viable approach. “The people who are on the welfare are not on it because they’re choosing to be unemployed,” she said. Federal Social Services Minister Christian Porter announced last week radical proposals for Australia’s welfare system, including attempts to entice stakeholders, academics and governments to pitch their ideas to help members of vulnerable groups get jobs. Mr Porter said the current system was similar to “assembling IKEA furniture in the dark”. He said the federal government was also considering expanding “mutual obligation” requirements for welfare recipients so they refrain from excessive use of alcohol or drugs. An analysis by Price Waterhouse Coopers shows carers, young parents and students were

particularly vulnerable to falling into the trap of welfare dependency. “The outcomes highlighted from the report are particularly concerning for the young people identified,” Mr Porter said. “Nobody wants to see a life spent in the welfare system from a very young age.

‘‘

Nobody wants to see a life spent in the welfare - Christian Porter system

’’

“The moral imperative here is to move away from being content with policy approaches that just spend more money because that is the way it has always been done.” Ms Muddagouni said the federal government needed to look at the casualisation and off-shoring of the workforce. She said it needed to look at improving education outcomes for vulnerable people and investing more money in social and legal services. “I think the aim of getting young people off the welfare system is a very good idea, but I think the idea of getting there by tightening the welfare system is just a Band-Aid effort,” she said. “What it should be is, ‘Let’s identify what are the issues of homelessness and the housing market that impact young people’.” There were more than 125,000 people receiving Centrelink payments in 2014, according to the Department of Social Services.

Enjoy a day in court The Ballan courthouse is a state treasure – built in 1872, it is one of the oldest remaining small courthouses in country Victoria. The courthouse was closed in 1983 and reopened seven years later as a local history records and resource centre. A $300,000 restoration project was completed late last year, ensuring the building will be used long into the future. It’s currently occupied by the Ballan Shire Historical Society, which will fling open the doors of the courthouse to the public next month. History buffs and Ballan enthusiasts are being invited to tour the facility and examine records collected by the society.

Society secretary Richard Biden said the courthouse had always been a big part of the town’s fabric but that not many people knew its history. “Ballan’s grown tremendously,” Mr Biden said. “It’s becoming a commuter town – a lot of people live here and work in Melbourne or Ballarat … it’s very important people know the history of the place.” The open day will be held on Saturday, October 8, from 10am-1pm at 45 Steiglitz Street.

Where miniature is more By Sumeyya Ilanbey Drive past once, and you might not notice. Take a second glance and you might see the bright red torii (Japanese gate) at the front of Iain Hinde’s house. The traditional Japanese entrance isn’t at a Shinto shrine, or even in Japan. It’s at Mr Hinde’s Melton South house whose surrounds he has converted to a bonsai garden. Not only does the torii bring entrants good luck, Mr Hinde says, but it helps them leave their everyday worries behind as they enter an area that’s peaceful and beautiful. Mr Hinde, who says he’s always been an avid gardener, has been working on beautifying his Blackwood Drive home for 12 months, potting and planting bonsai. “That jade tree there,” he says, pointing to one of the hundreds of plants, “was once a houseplant and then a potted plant and then a forgotten plant. And now it’s a bonsai plant.” There are 50-year-old olive trees, the size of saplings, lemon trees with fruit the size of 50 cent coins, and vine trees that have recently started shooting. They’re living, breathing artforms, Mr Hinde says of the miniature world of bonsai. And at 10am on Saturday, October 1, he will open the gate to his Melton South home at 39 Blackwood Drive for people to visit and marvel. There will also be plants for sale.

MY PLACE Kevin Healey, 66, longed for a sense of belonging when he lived in the ’burbs. He tells Sumeyya Ilanbey his love for feeling part of the Ballan community. What’s your connection to Moorabool?

fewer and fewer men going to the pub after work. But there weren’t enough social places for men to go. Forty to 50 per cent of the men [who come to the Ballan men’s shed] live in the bush and they don’t get much social interaction … they say: “You guys have added years to my life”.

Firstly, we moved up to Ballan 36 years ago – end of 1979. We moved up from the western suburbs, which is pretty common. My motive was to feel like I belonged in a community, to have a sense of community, and I certainly achieved that. Secondly, other than being involved with the [Ballan] men’s shed, I’m the secretary of the local community house, I am a [volunteer] firefighter with the CFA; I also have a role in the control centre if there’s a big enough local emergency; and I am a member of the local historical society.

How did you get involved with the men’s shed? I was astounded by the number of people who were concerned they had mental health problems and were prepared to admit it … the men were open and honest and non-judgmental. All of us fear [admitting we have issues] because we feel like we’ll be sidelined … But there’s a group prepared to accept you for who you area. You can express your opinion without being held down or dismissed or ignored.

What’s your favourite thing about living in Ballan? Being able to walk down the street and know a number of people, encounter people and have a chat. That you’re recognised – you have an identity, you exist and people are happy to have a chat with you. There’s also a very big degree of collaboration between groups … and it often works well for everybody. And the wombats.

(Joe Mastroianni)

How important are programs and initiatives targeting men’s health?

What would you change about the area if you could? There’s room for improvement in involving teenagers. Locally, there are quite a limited number of activities and places that teenagers can socialise in and interact. Yes, there are sport groups and they’re quite good … but there aren’t any theatres or good hang-out areas. Something else that beats the heck out of me – we have a vast amount

of experience in our community … but we’re not very good at leveraging that depth of experience. Where’s your favourite place to hang out in Ballan?

Oh, I guess my favourite place is with the men at the men’s shed. When I was young – a long, long time ago – the norm was for the blokes to go to the pub and that’s where they socialised. They had a whinge about their bosses … but as the drink-driving laws changed, there were

I’m happily married … have four children, seven grandchildren and a fairly reasonable [sized] network. I’m quite happy, but I continually encounter elderly people living on their own who don’t get much social interaction. It seems to me that people who live longer, happier lives are those who have a large amount of social interaction … those who go out and visit others are the ones who seem to have the best golden years. And I see a number of people who don’t have that. For more information about the Ballan Men’s Shed, call 5368 1934.

TRAVEL STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Thailand with children? Here’s some tips… To Phuket or not to Phuket? That is the question. Especially when travelling with children. More than half a million Australians visit Thailand each year. At any one time, tens of thousands of us will be on the holiday island. Hubby and I have been visiting for years, and the welcoming friendliness of the locals is a large reason why we keep going back. We tear

along Kata Beach on jet skis, take snorkelling trips to Koh Phi Phi; and – yes – escape the clutches of timeshare touts in Patong. Now the kids are 10 and 11, we’re concerned about the sights they see. Last year, I explained to Taj the signs for “ping-pong” shows on Bangla Road weren’t referring to table tennis. Hey, we’re pretty open-minded, but sex tourism isn’t a subject at

school. Dangers also lurk outside the red light district. According to the government’s Smart Traveller website, tourists should exercise a high degree of caution, for a variety of reasons.

TRAVEL

alleged damage is not paid.” Beware the same scam when hiring motorbikes. And, please, buy or rent helmets for the children: You’re more than six times more likely to die in a traffic-related accident in Thailand than Australia. While several beaches are beautiful – such as the northern end of Karon – most are polluted (try not to ingest too much water). And avoid the ubiquitous fish spas: infection can spread through open wounds. Still, Thailand remains the Land of Smiles, with friendly locals, delicious food, and cheap accommodation. With all this in mind, here are my top five tips for a safe family holiday in Phuket. • Stay away from Bangla Road. The onus is on patrons, not venues, to ensure safety. At any time of day or night, things can go pear-shaped. Don’t put your kids at risk. • Find accommodation around Karon or Mai Khao Beaches. The former is good for tweens or teens, the latter for small children. (Our picks, in these places, are the Centara Grand and the Holiday Inn, respectively.) • Check the height of balconies at your hotel before booking. They’re usually lower than the Australian standard, which can be dicey for little ones. • Inspect jet skis and motorbikes before renting them. Look underneath to see if there’s any damage. Buy or bring your own helmets for bike riding. • Tell the children to hold on tightly to their bags and backpacks. Snatch-and-grabs are common. Sure, take the family to Phuket. The high season runs from November to February, or March is an excellent shoulder option. But also remember to take arms against a sea of troubles. tracey.spicer@fairfaxmedia.com.au Clockwise from top: Patong, Phuket; traditional longtail boat floating on the turquoise coloured waters of Thailand; Young girl in the Land of Smiles.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir spreads his wings and discovers a Vietnamese gem B&D is at that “other end” of Alfrieda Street, not where we usually start our St Albans adventures – but it’s worth the enjoyable walk. It’s a typical Vietnamese restaurant – friendly, good service, long menu and popular. As ever, our eyes are drawn to the photos and handwritten signs that adorn the walls and wall mirrors. Wow! Goat curry and another goat curry! When I ask which is recommended, I’m told to go for the “regular” ca ri de (Vietnamese word; price $15). What we receive is a rich, mild curry dish that almost seems in the Malaysian tradition. The meat is OK but on-the-bone fiddly. And there’s a lot of skin. Normally I’d be fine with that, but in this case it’s of a rubberiness that’s unappealing, so we put it aside. Balancing that is quite a lot of bread-like substance, which at first I take to be dumplings of some sort; in fact, it’s taro and it meshes with the curry gravy just right. Observing the many different kinds of dishes being consumed around us and reading the menu, we feel a tad overwhelmed and lazy, so we order exactly what we desire. Will I ever tire of eating pho? No … as if ! Will I ever tire of writing about pho? Such appears extremely unlikely. In this case, our brisket/sliced beef version is a doozy. The brisket is fatty but wonderful; the sliced beef, thicker than in most places, is succulent. And there’s a hefty amount of both,

Melton campaign gives locals a start The “50 Jobs in 50 Days” campaign by Sarina Russo Job Access has created 51 jobs in the Melton region. Launched in August, the campaign has succeeded in its aim of engaging with the business community and encouraging employers to give a local a start. Manager Marlene Cassar says the agency’s encouragement of a positive, can-do attitude in job seekers contributed strongly to the campaign’s success. “The over-riding message we get from employers is that they’re looking for staff with the right attitude to work and a willingness to learn,” Ms Cassar says. “Melton employers value staff who communicate effectively, show initiative, can solve a problem and work as part of a team.” Ms Cassar offers six simple steps to enhance job seeker workforce competitiveness when applying for a role: • Demonstrate a genuine interest in the job. • Indicate availability and flexibility. • Ensure email addresses and social media content are appropriate. • Ensure reliable transport is in place. • Tailor personal presentation to the business. • Highlight employability skills.

Marlene Cassar with apprentice Deon Giacomotto and Digital Signage Solutions manager, Nick Mavor.

She explains that demonstrating employability skills to a potential employer is very important.

Ms Cassar and her Sarina Russo team are delighted that employers Accountantnet, Pappa’s Ocean Catch and Digital Signage Studios, and job seekers Sophie Lim, Erin Jones and Deon Giacomotto, got involved in the campaign.

“They are the key life, or soft skills, that contribute to a job seeker’s ability to gain and keep a job,” she says. “Unlike technical skills, they are transferable between jobs. We show our job seekers how they can showcase their particular life/ soft skill set.”

“I’d like to congratulate each employer who participated in our jobs campaign,” Ms Cassar says. “Employers are the lifeblood of our local community. They are

BROOKFIELD 125 Botanica Springs Boulevard, 3338 Eric Kontek: 8746 5917

Price: $339,000

On the wide main boulevard of popular Botanica Springs estate, this place would make a great beginning for a young couple, and investors will have their eye on it, too – for good reason. For a couple, with or without littlies, it’s the kind of modern house that carries the promise of a shared project of injecting personality, colour and homeyness into the existing palette of muted greys and cream. There’s also the prospect of creating

Private sale outdoor areas, stamping them with ideas of what best suits their family. The house is great as is: easy on the eye (and upkeep), and with everything young families look for in place, including two living areas. Entry is to a beige-carpeted hallway, on the left of which is the main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite with heat lamp. Two more bedrooms are farther along, as is an open, carpeted lounge room

that precedes the set back main bathroom and separate toilet. The fourth bedroom is off the family room at the back. The living hub includes a tiled meals zone and carpeted family room, the latter opening to an integrated pergola above concrete. The kitchen has cream cabinetry, grey laminate benchtops, a two-door pantry, dishwasher, gas cooktop and underbench oven, each with a Technika Bellissimo tag. The laundry has a two-door closet; there’s

ducted heating; downlights and window deadlocks are welcome inclusions; and the remote-controlled double garage has internal access. The block is about 516 square metres and there’s potential to widen the side gate to allow trailer access. Leased until next February for $1257 a month, the property is in a family-oriented neighbourhood close to everything. Carole Levy 29 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 27, 2016

The song ‘I’ve Been Everywhere’ rings true for the Western Bulldogs this AFL finals campaign. The Bulldogs have produced cut-throat wins in Perth, against the West Coast Eagles; Melbourne, against Hawthorn; and Sydney, against the GWS Giants, to book a place in their first AFL grand final since 1961. The emotion-charged preliminary final win over GWS Giants on Saturday night had the feel of a home game for the Bulldogs, even though it was played in Sydney. Loyal Bulldogs fans crossed the border in their thousands to deck out the stadium in red, white and blue. The thrilling six-point victory over the Giants snapped a tormenting run of seven losing preliminary finals for the Bulldogs. With grand final tickets in high demand in the west, expect to see tens of thousands more Bulldogs fans converge on the MCG as coach Luke Beveridge and his team take aim at their first flag since 1954.

Saturday, October 1

Sydney Swans finished on top of the AFL ladder but had to take the long route to the 2016 grand final. After losing in the opening week of the finals to cross-town rivals GWS Giants, the Swans cruised to victory over Adelaide in the semi-final at the SCG and then roughed up Geelong in the preliminary final at the MCG on Friday night. Sydney has the chance to claim its third premiership since 2005 - and sixth overall. John Longmire has a third premiership in sight, winning one as a player with North Melbourne in 1999 and was the last to coach the Swans to a flag in 2012. While all eyes will be on Sydney superstar forward Lance Franklin, the Swans have the perfect blend of youth and experience to get up for the Harbour City once more.

Any decision by political parties to remove negative gearing will put an economic blowtorch on the design and project management of renovation projects, Robert Caulfield, architect and director of Archicentre believes. “The existing negative gearing arrangements have historically provided a safety net for investor-renovators,” he said, “Protecting them from budget blowouts, due to buying a property with unknown faults or failing to plan, budget and manage their renovation projects.” He said when renovating, a substantial amount of money, time and energy is invested into what’s invariably a complex project. “This can lead to a waste of funds, budget blowouts or major building faults.” Mr Caulfield said common traps for renovators without a plan of action include: • Purchasing a ‘renovator’s delight’ with hidden major structural problems • Having plans drawn up before deciding on a final design, leading to costly variations • Failing to check builder’s registration and indemnity insurance • Undertaking work that does not conform to local council planning controls • Placing themselves at risk with an unsafe renovation site • Failing to recognise the dangerous presence of asbestos • Paying up front only to find that work is left half finished • Having difficulty co-ordinating trades and materials, which leads to cost blowouts. Mr Caulfield said dealing with common traps, combined with tight budgets, will become increasingly important if negative gearing is removed and leaves renovators without the traditional financial buffer.

SPORT Back up our veterans, Darley coach urges youngsters Darley has its eyes set on finals in the Ballarat Cricket Association after narrowly missing out last season. A final round loss to Golden Point, combined with other results, meant Darley fell from first to fifth, ultimately missing the finals by a point. Darley coach Heath Pritchard says they have to build on what they achieved in 2015-16. “To be honest, we should have made finals last year,” he said. “We lost the last game of the season by eight runs to the team that won the grand final. “Five teams were looking for four spots and we were the one who missed out, and it wasn’t by much. Hopefully, we have a team that can make finals this year.”

Pritchard says opposition teams will be more prepared for them this season, knowing Darley’s capabilities. He said being so far away from the other sides meant they were a little unsure what the opposition would be like. “There’s a bit more expectation on us this year,” he said. “We have to embrace that. We’re not going to turn up and just keep winning. We have to keep the standard to win matches. “We have to keep improving significantly on last year if we want to play finals and push for grand finals. “Brown Hill has lost a couple of players and we think Mount Clear is about the same.

Golden Point could be slightly different as we don’t know if their import is coming back.” Most of Darley’s playing group is returning. Among them is key player Locky Herring, who missed last season, while the club has signed a Sri Lankan first-class player, batsman and leg-spinner Hasitha Wickramasinghe. However, its two English imports, Rick Moore and Harry Killoran, won’t be returning. “I think we’ll have a team just as good if not better than last year,” Pritchard said. “The likes of Beau Jamieson, Jake Wilkie and Zac Ticehurst will get opportunities this year. “Brad Barnes has played a lot of first-eleven cricket but has just scratched the surface.” One area in which the team needs to change

Micallef brothers blitz it By Tara Murray Hillside brothers Victor and James Micallef made it a night to remember at Essendon District Football League’s awards night on Saturday. The brothers both play for the Sharks’ senior side in division 1, and were both invited to be in the mix for an award … but neither could have predicted what would happen next. They both polled 16 votes to win the medal for the best and fairest player in division 1, finishing two votes clear of Craigieburn spearhead Cameron Cloke. Sharks’ football manager Cole Harvey said the Micallef brothers were the first picked for midfield each week. He said they thought Cloke, who was ineligible after being suspended, would poll the most votes. “Both boys are fairly modest and they didn’t say too much about being invited,” Harvey said. “For the boys to win, and both still young, it’s unbelievable. They both still have their best football ahead of them. “To have two brothers in the same team both winning, I don’t know whether it’s happened before in the league.” Harvey said the brothers were among the hardest working players at the club, barely missing training over the past two years. “It’s just rewards for the work they’ve put in,” he said. “Both are pure midfielders. Vic is a brute of a player, while Jimmy is pretty strong as well. “Jimmy is a bit more skillful, whereas Victor is an absolute beast. Both are competitive boys, who hate losing.” Victor was named on the wing in the division 1 team of year, his second consecutive selection. James missed out on being selected, but Jackson Volpato and Brandon Colletta made it three Sharks in the team of the year. It capped off a good night for the Sharks, with Lachlan Rayner winning the division 1 under-18.5 best and fairest award. Rayner played just 11 regular season matches for the Sharks in the under-18.5s to poll 21 votes, two votes clear of Westmeadows’ Reece Desira. He also played in the Sharks’ under-18.5 premiership and made his senior debut, playing four games. “He just stands out,” Harvey said. “He’s a ruckman, and so much bigger and stronger than a lot of his opponents. “To poll so many votes in not that many games shows how good he is.” In premier division, Aberfeldie’s Luke Blackwell took out the R.S Reynolds medal, while Moonee Valley’s Ned Wilson won the division 2 best and fairest. James Micallef in action. Inset: Victor Micallef.

is its reliance on veteran allrounder Matthew Cape, the coach says. Cape has been a star for Darley for many years, while Pritchard, in his first season at the club in 2015-16, dominated with the ball to finish second on the competition’s wicket-takers’ list. “The time has come,” Pritchard says. “To achieve what we need to, it can’t be up to a 38 and 39 year-old. The younger players need to continue to develop. “Hopefully, Matt and I will still contribute, but others need to step up as well.” Darley kicks off its season against NapoleonsSebastopol in a two-day match on October 8.

Burras add depth to go one step further Last year’s grand final heartache will drive Diggers Rest Bulla in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association this season. In its first season in the top grade of the McIntyre Cup, the Burras made the grand final – and history – after they tied with Gisborne in last season’s decider. Because it finished higher on the ladder, the Dragons won 2015-16 honours. Burras’ coach Kevin Barker said he was proud of what was achieved last season, but said players aren’t resting on their laurels – they want that flag. “It is driving us forward, and we want to push on,” he said. “You’re always working at it and want to play our best cricket. “It’s a really even competition, and we’re just worried about what we do, and try and play our best cricket.” Barker said the biggest difference between this season and last for the Burras would be added depth on the side. Steven Fogarty has made the move across from Sunbury United, while Michael Sammut and Shannon O’Keefe return after not playing last season. “Hopefully, we might get a few more come across from footy as they’ve now won the premiership,” Barker said. “We’ve got the same core group of people and we’re hopeful of success. “Depth is the one thing we lacked last year,” he said. “In round 1, we were calling people the night before to field a side. “That’s not what you want in the McIntyre Cup.” Former coach Rhys Berry is now assistant coach after he stood down from the top role before last season due to time constraints. Berry will again be an important player for the Burras. “He’s the Kevin Sullivan medallist and it was a reward for all the hard work he does,” Marker said. “With ball, I know he will bowl overs. This year he needs to step up with the bat and, if you ask him, he’s pretty honest about his form last season with the bat.” With a year under his belt now, Barker, who made a century in the grand final, said he was more confident in the role. “I’ve established how far you can push people, and what their strengths are.” The Burras will open the season on October 8 against newly-promoted Rupertswood.

It’s on for young and old at the Lions Melton is hoping the development achieved over the past year, and the addition of some experience, will help it be more competitive in Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association this season. The Lions struggled for much of last season after losing several of their experienced players. The club started to look to the future and put their faith in the young generation. They finished 13th in the south-west division with two wins. Most of those younger players are back and will team up with some familiar faces who have returned to the club to form a new coaching panel. Nathan Giesler is back after 12 months off and will again be the coach. Giesler coached the club in 2013-14 and 2014-15. “It has been good being back,” he said. “I was still involved with the club in an off-field role last year and I spoke to the club about coming back and just playing. It progressed from there

[and led to coaching]. There’s a great bunch of young kids and that’s what excites me.” Giesler will be joined by former Lions Ben MacRae and Ash Sweet. MacRae spent the past 12 years playing with premier cricket side Essendon, while Sweet, who will also be an assistant coach, returns from Carlton. “It’s the core group of kids we’ll be looking [at] for improvement,” Giesler said. “I’m back and with Ben and Ash … good senior heads. I don’t think either has missed a session. “It’s good for the kids to have players like them at the club.” Giesler said Andrew Zenonos, who hurt a knee while playing football, would miss this season, but the rest of the players from the previous season’s group looked like they would be returning. While the addition of Giesler, MacRae and Sweet will boost the side, the coach says

the biggest improvement will come from the younger players. “The results didn’t go our way, but we weren’t outplayed on too many times,” he said of last season. “We were still fairly competitive and are expecting to be much more competitive this year. “Jake Thornton-Gielen missed last year and he will return. “Dylan Clarke, who bowls a bit of spin and medium pace, and Tom Button, who kept and opened the batting [last season] are players we’re looking for improvement from.” Giesler said the focus on youth would continue to flow through all the club’s sides. “With another 12 months under their belts, they’ll all be more competitive,” he said. The Lions senior side will start their east-west division season on October 8 against Bayswater. Tara Murray

Fevola takes on Panthers By Tara Murray Melton South is buzzing after the Ballarat Football League club announced it had signed former AFL star Brendan Fevola as playing coach for next season. The signing of Fevola, who played in a Western Region Football League premiership with Deer Park this season, is a major boost for a side that didn’t win a senior match this year. Fevola had been linked with the club in the past two years, but only now has the timing been right. The 35-year-old said the chance to coach a developing young side and help it build from the bottom up was the reason he took on the role. Fevola will share the coaching duties with Deer Park mate Sean Triplett. Fevola said they wanted to come to a club where they could develop a list and build the team from the bottom up. Deer Park and Yarrawonga, where Fevola played for four years and coached in 2015, were already successful clubs before he joined them. “We wouldn’t have done this if they [Melton South] weren’t near the bottom,” he said. “It’s something that I really wanted to do – develop a side from the bottom up.” Since the announcement last week, Fevola said they had been inundated with players wanting to join the club. He said they would look at adding five or six experienced players to the squad. “We’ll bring in some top end recruits … we’ve already signed some,” he said. “Kids learn stuff off players who are of a more mature age and have been through the system before. We need some grunt players in the middle. I think we’ve already got some good outside mids. “And we need another forward to help me out – I’m old and fat.” Fevola and Triplett said they would also help with the junior side of things at Melton South and try to make sure the club came together as a whole. Panthers’ president Brendan Morrissey said the reaction to the Fevola signing had been massive. “We just thought we need a playing coach,” he said. “We’ve got a young group with local home-grown talent. We thought we needed someone to be a leader for the 19 to 20-years-olds,” he said. “We targeted Brendan and went after him.” Fevola is the second former AFL player to be appointed to a head coaching role in the BFL for next season. His former Carlton teammate, Heath Scotland, has been appointed Darley’s coach.

Brendan Fevola has signed on as playing coach at Melton South. (Shawn Smits) 56 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 27, 2016

Jamie Nankiville won the Victorian Women’s Football League north-west best and fairest. (Shawn Smits)

VWFL

Melton Centrals’ Jamie Nankiville’s dominant Victorian Women’s Football League season was rewarded at the league’s best and fairest awards on Thursday night. Nankiville had already won the north-west division goal-kicking award, and made it a double, winning the division’s best and fairest award. Nankiville finished on 19 votes, three votes clear of Manor Lakes’ Saphyre Swanson. Centrals’ teammates Tara McKean (third) and Lucy Lenius (equal sixth) were also in the top 10. Centrals finished runners-up for a second straight season. In the AFL Goldfields division, Bacchus Marsh’s Charlotte Thorne finished third behind Lake Wendouree’s Jordan Ivey and East Point’s Charlotte Thorne.

RDFL

Melton Centrals have appointed Mathew Sproule as senior football coach for next year’s Riddell District Football League season. Sproule joins the club after previously coaching Portarlington in the Bellarine Football League for two and a half years, before being sacked midway through the 2016 season. He has also previously coached Ocean Grove and Modewarre. Centrals won just two games in 2016, finishing 11th.

WRFL

Deer Park’s Kwame McHarg is the 2016 Western Region Football League division 1 best and fairest winner. McHarg, who had four best on ground performances in the last six weeks, polled 24 votes, five votes clear of Tom Langlands and Jordan Robbins. In division 2, North Footscray’s Kieran Murphy won on 21 votes, one clear of Yarraville Seddon’s Lachlan Longmire. Jerome Caterino was the best for premiers Caroline Springs, polling nine votes to finish eighth. Tarneit’s Todd Lawrie won the division 3 best and fairest.

Swimming

Melton Swimming Club’s Kayla Jones was one of the stars of the show at the open and under-11/12 Victorian State Championships two weeks ago. Melton had 13 swimmers competing with Jones, who won three silver medals and two bronze medals. Joanna Denoual won a bronze medal.
