NEWS + SPORT + PROPERTY GUIDE Junior Triple Zero Heroes Georgia and Ebony with their dad Denis. (Shawn Smits)

Dad hails hero daughters By Esther Lauaki Denis Smith’s two daughters are now officially his life-saving heroes. Georgia and Ebony were just nine and 11 when their dad’s clothes caught alight while he stoked a fire one chilly evening in January, 2015. The two Melton girls were among 51 young Victorians aged between five and 16 honoured at the 13th annual Junior Triple Zero Hero Awards last week. The annual awards recognise children for their heroic and life-saving actions.

It was Ebony who phoned triple-0 while her sister dealt with a small fire that was still burning inside the house. The girls then fished their father from the pool and administered first aid with the emergency operator on the line. Mr Smith suffered severe burns to his arms, legs and his chest and was in hospital for more than a month. He praised his daughters for their heroic instincts. “You don’t know that they’ve got it in them until you’re in an emergency situation,” he said. “They surprised me and I’m so proud of them – as any father would be.”

Mr Smith recalled the day his daughters saved his life. “We were playing Monopoly, the girls were cold and they wanted a fire,” he said. “I’d run out of firewood so I tried to take a shortcut and put a small amount of petrol on it – not my brightest moment.” The flames from the fire caught the petrol can in Mr Smith’s hand and within moments his body was engulfed in flames, he said. “I was trying to roll around to put it out but each time the flames went out they would flare up again,” Mr Smith said. “I ran out and jumped in the pool and the girls were screaming.”

Western Victoria MP Jaala Pulford said the awards’ stories of bravery were a perfect reminder to all Victorians about the importance of teaching children how to identify, confidently react to and report emergencies by calling triple-0. “Georgia and Ebony Smith from Melton are both true heroes,” she said. “They kept calm under pressure and sought help when it was desperately needed.” In 2015-16, the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority answered about 2.5 million calls for assistance from across Victoria.

Gilson College student wins top honours for academic results Madeleine Giacchi was presented with a Top All-Round VCE High Achiever award – given to students who achieved outstanding results in five or more of their subjects. Madeleine also received a Study Award for Further Mathematics. “I was very honoured and grateful to be recognised for this award,” said Madeleine who is now studying a Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) at Monash University “I was fortunate to have the support of my family throughout my schooling journey. They were always there to offer advice and assist me in achieving my best. I am forever grateful for all that they have done and the opportunities they have provided me.” And none of it would have happened without the help of her teachers, Madeleine said. “The high level of dedication and enthusiasm displayed by teachers at Gilson College made my learning experience enjoyable.

Council gets dirty with builders Melton council is cracking down on the illegal disposal of building waste and poor construction site management as part of a compliance blitz starting next month. The campaign, which will target builders and developers, aims to educate tradies on how building sites should be cleaned and maintained to comply with the local law. This “education phase” will be followed by a two-week amnesty period to give builders and developers the opportunity to clean up.

An inspection blitz will begin in mid-June which could include fines of up to $1000 for breaches that are not acted upon in a specified timeframe. Council chief executive Kelvin Tori said rapid housing growth was leading to more littering and illegal dumping issues. “As a result of our rapid growth, council has identified a need to increase the monitoring of building works and their potential impact on the environment,” Mr Tori said. “We’ll also be checking that signage, fencing and site toilets are in place.

‘‘

The message is clear – it’s time for them to clean - Kelvin Tori up their act

’’

“We are giving fair warning to all builders and developers operating in our municipality and the message is clear – it’s time for them to clean up their act.” Mayor Sophie Ramsey said council was seeking the co-operation of builders and developers.

Melton looks into the future

(Marco De Luca)

Delivering a new career

Stephanie Angelini is juggling newborn babies and a burgeoning career as a musician. The 25-year-old from Caroline Springs refers to her midwifery career as her “day job” and singing as her dream job, the latter a future she has dreamt about since she started singing aged just five. After signing on with a manager mid-last year, she quickly got her break. She was asked to record an album of 10 songs

with US singer and songwriter Preston Glass, who has worked with Natalie Cole and Aretha Franklin. Angelini has recently returned from Los Angeles having recorded the album in just five days. “I was at my wits end with my music, I needed my break,” she said. “Working alongside Preston was wonderful, he was really humble.

“I’ve been singing ever since I was about five, then taking it seriously since I was a teenager, so having this opportunity was something I couldn’t pass up.” She’s just about to release a limited edition single that was produced in LA called A Secret Smile, which was in second place in the Radio Indie Alliance top 10 charts last month.

“We all want potential buyers to find our municipality an appealing place to live, work and raise a family, so better managing site rubbish problems is essential,” Cr Ramsey said. The blitz will cover site rubbish kept in cages or skips, as well as checking for permits for any skips placed on nature strips. It also covers waste that has been spilt or blown out of these bulk waste containers, and illegal dumping on adjacent land or other locations.

What do you want to see in Melton in 20 years? That was the question put to residents at last week launch of council’s The City We Imagine plan at Kurunjang Primary School. More than 2000 people of different ages and backgrounds last year completed surveys or attended workshops to share what they loved about Melton, what they didn’t like, and what their hopes were for the suburb in 2036. Council’s Melton City 2036 – The City We Imagine document uses the ideas and words of community members to describe what they want Melton to look like, feel like and offer its residents over the next 20 years. Mayor Sophie Ramsey said that due to Melton’s rapid growth it was timely to come together and develop a shared vision for the future. “The vision … describes the ideal environments that we are surrounded by and connect to – our social, natural, built and economic environments,” she said. “Going forward, Melton City 2036 – The City We Imagine will require a whole of community approach to deliver. “Residents, service providers, businesses, the private sector and all levels of government, including council, need to work together to realise this wonderful vision.” She said the vision would focus on four areas: improving safety and social connectivity; ensuring a well-built city; a strong local economy; and a thriving natural environment.

Freezer escapee’s tears By Alexandra Laskie Eliza Jimenez was vacuuming the third and least-used treatment room at the Caroline Springs beauty parlour in which she works when she heard two knocks. She paused, then resumed cleaning, thinking little of the knocks that so frequently interrupt the soothing soundtrack played in Bianco Beauty, which neighbours an ice-creamery. “We always hear noises from next door, because it’s Cold Rock – there’s always kids in and out all the time, banging, music going, so we’re just used to it,” Ms Jimenez said. About 20 minutes later she returned to the treatment room near the back of the building – and there they were again, the knocks. But this time they were incessant and forceful. “That’s when I thought, ‘Nup, something’s not right here’,” Ms Jimenez said. So she went next door to investigate. “When I walked in, it [the store] was empty, the music was blaring, because that’s how they always are – the music is always full on,” she said. “I couldn’t hear any banging, so walked back out. Then, I thought, ‘the freezer’. “So I grabbed the security guard, told him to watch the doors, and then we opened the freezer.” Trapped inside was Cold Rock’s cake decorator Amy, a mother of two who had worked at the store since February last year. “When we opened the freezer, she was there and she was hysterical, bawling her eyes out,” Ms Jimenez said. “She was purple. She just cried and cried and cried.” Amy was dressed in a T-shirt and pants. Ms Jimenez ran next door to get blankets to keep her warm while they waited for an ambulance.

Amy did not require hospitalisation, an Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said. Ms Jimenez said Amy contacted her two days later to say thank you for rescuing her, but she said she hadn’t seen Amy at work since the incident on May 16. In a statement, Cold Rock said the safety of its staff was of the “upmost importance”.

It said WorkSafe had been contacted and a refrigeration technician would be inspecting the freezer door. A WorkSafe spokeswoman said the statutory authority had visited the ice-cream shop following “a complaint in relation to a number of health and safety issues”. “Inquiries are continuing,” she said.

Ballan to host Melbourne Cup Ballan’s horse racing enthusiasts will get a closer look at the iconic 18-carat gold Emirates Melbourne Cup as part of its trans-Tasman tour. From July 1, the $200,000 trophy will visit 31 destinations across Australia and New Zealand, starting in West Wyalong in regional New South Wales. Its final stop will be Flemington for the big race in November. The coveted trophy will be on display at Ballan later this year for locals to experience and learn more about its history as part of the 15th annual Emirates Melbourne Cup Tour. Jockey Club chief executive Catherine Moon said the club was thrilled to be part of the tour which would provide the opportunity to come together and experience the “magic”. “The tour enables locals, young and old, to unite to celebrate this cultural icon and our own racing history,” she said. Racing royalty joined the celebrations at Mount Macedon last week for the announcement, including five-time Melbourne Cup winning owner Lloyd Williams, 2016 winning horse Alamandin, 2007 winning horse Efficient and Flemington ambassador Georgia Connolly. Community members are encouraged to upload photos with the Cup to Facebook, using the hashtags #PeoplesCup and #EmiratesMelbourneCup, for the chance to win a trip for two to the event. Esther Lauaki

A real page turner Kalahni and Kienzo (pictured) were among a bunch of budding writers celebrating their work at Melton South Primary School’s publishing party last week. The eight-year-olds shared the writing they had been perfecting with family and friends at the school’s grade 2 publishing party. Teacher Kiah Brown said the children had been working on information reports for the past five weeks. “Students had to choose a season to research facts about, and then based on that, they had to draft up and publish a report,” Ms Brown said.

“The kids absolutely loved it … to be able to have their name as a published author on the front was a very special moment for them.” She said the party aimed to celebrate the children’s achievements with the entire school community who play a vital role in students’ learning. “It’s so important for them, not just to learn these skills, but to show other people their learning and share their learning journey with their family.” Esther Lauaki

Arts ambition in Melton Le Mans Toyota The performing arts are booming at Melton Secondary School. And Principal David Reynolds is hoping to partner with Melton council and the education department to deliver a purpose-built centre that would serve the needs of students and the wider community. The school secured $2.5 million in this year’s state budget to move on the first stage of a development masterplan for it and Melton Specialist School, which shares the site. The funding will go towards building a new carpark and administration building, but will not cover a performing arts centre. “We have more than 150 students taking instrumental classes at the moment, we have a regular schedule of performing arts events

through the year and the performing arts team has grown in response to student interest,” Mr Reynolds said. “For the moment, performances are held in classrooms, but cramming 200-plus parents into a space like that and not having the stage facilities to put on a proper performance doesn’t make it a high-quality environment to support the kids’ efforts.” Mr Reynolds said the school council was in discussion with Melton council about a possible partnership through the government’s shared community facilities grant which would help provide a centre the whole community could benefit from.

A study of hard living Melton Secondary College students have left the comforts of home behind in a bid to raise awareness about homelessness. The students rolled out sleeping bags on the floor of a classroom on Friday night for the Sleep In at MCS event as part of their project aimed at shedding light on the issue. Supervising teacher David Borg said the idea was to let young people experience what it’s like to sleep rough for a night and become informed about stereotypes surrounding the various types of homelessness. “This year, we’ve been focusing on the topic in the curriculum since the start of the term,” Mr Borg said.

“We have some students who have experienced homelessness in the past and it has hit a lot of people in the area. “We want the students to dispel the stereotype that people sleeping rough are out begging for money and on drugs – some of them are people at university and they each have a different story.” A speaker from The Salvation Army gave a brief presentation at the event and students raised money to create hampers for the homeless through a barbecue, bake sale and car wash.

By Esther Lauaki More than 10,000 incidents of family violence in Melton and Moorabool were reported in the five years to June 2016. It’s figures like these that Women’s Health West chief Robyn Gregory believes can be tackled by making family violence prevention a priority. The Crime Statistics Agency recently unveiled the Victorian Family Violence database, lifting the lid on the hidden scourge of family violence. The database information for July, 2011, to June, 2016, comes from police, the magistrates and children’s courts, Victorian Legal Aid, the health and human services department and justice department. It reveals that the number of family violence incidents recorded in Melton increased by 62 per cent, from 1304 in 2011-12 to 2110 in 2015-16. Incidents reported in Moorabool have more than doubled from 218 in 2011-12 to 475 in 2015-16. Women’s Health West is one of only a few organisations that aims to prevent violence against women before it occurs. Dr Gregory said that while reporting was important, there should be more focus on domestic violence prevention. She said cultural issues and households experiencing financial stress contributed to high family violence rates. “We know that gender inequity is the key driver of violence against women, so our programs and services aim to increase gender

Family violence out in the open equity and justice for women in Melbourne’s western region,” she said. Dr Gregory said everyone in the community had a role to play in family violence prevention. Paying attention to women’s voices, reflecting on the division of household labour and encouraging respectful, equal relationships would make a difference, she said.

We should do everything in our power to end - Robyn Gregory violence

’’

“We should do everything in our power to end violence, and to change the circumstances under which violence against women occurs.” The database reveals that breaches of court orders and assault and related offences account for many of the family violence offences in Melton and Moorabool. It also shines a light on how often safety notices and intervention orders are sought. Police Minister Lisa Neville said the family violence database was an important step towards making statistics on family violence publicly available. “Historically, family violence has been swept under the rug and hidden from view,” she said. “Only through transparency and public discussion will we create change” View the 2015-16 Victorian Family Violence Database at bit.ly/2scdLPF.

Join in iftar fellowship Melton residents from all faiths and background are invited to share a meal and get to know more about Ramadan this week. The iftar, or breaking of the fast, takes place following maghrib (sunset) prayers each evening during the sacred Islamic month. This Friday, local Muslim leaders will join with Melton Interfaith Network to host a traditional halal meal and fellowship. Network president David Cowan, a member of the Mormon church, encourages getting involved. “The objective is to focus on the fasting rather than feasting,” Mr Cowan said. “With an emphasis on friendship, simplicity and a high regard for neighbours, we would like everyone to join us for a ceremonial iftar,

where you get a chance to learn about the significance of Ramadan and reconnect with fellow community members.” He said this was the first time the network had hosted this type of event. “It will be a fantastic way to get to know, not only about our Muslim community in Melton … there will be speakers from other faith groups invited to share how fasting is significant in their respective faiths,” he said. Other free activities will include henna tattoos and hijab styling workshops. The event will run between 5pm and 7pm at Melton Community Hall. Details: bit.ly/2sk4sgB Esther Lauaki

A pioneer of Melton retailing is remembered as “the glue” that held together the Morgan family and a driving force behind the town’s first supermarket. Audrey Margaret Morgan, 91, died on May 27 surrounded by family. The well-loved Melton entrepreneur and her husband, Jack, founded the Tuckerbag store, now known as Morgan’s IGA supermarket, in 1971. The Morgans opened the flagship store on High Street with their sons Roger and Peter and six employees.

Over the years the family expanded the business to include stores in Sunbury, Gisborne, Meadow Heights, Delahey and Glengala. The couple’s third son Neal Morgan paid tribute to his mother at her funeral in Williamstown last Thursday. “Mum and dad had created an opportunity for generations to follow,” Mr Morgan said. “Mum never stopped asking, ‘How’s business?’ … right up to her last days.” The Morgan family requested that, in lieu of flowers at the funeral, that mourners made donations to Alzheimers Australia. Mrs Morgan is survived by her children Roger, Peter, Rosemary and Neal.

Call to saddle up and save lives A Trentham woman is calling for residents to join her for an “adventure of a lifetime”. Emily Williamson moved to Siem Reap to work for an organisation that helps impoverished children. The 24-year-old is training to embark on an epic nine-day, 650-kilometre charity ride for Feeding Dreams Cambodia in January next year – and she’s calling on others to “jump on board”. “We are looking for people in the community who would be keen to explore Cambodia through this unique opportunity while raising money for the kids and their families.” Ms Williamson said the ride, starting in January, goes from Sihanoukville and through rural villages alongside the Mekong River.

MY PLACE Julie Madden says she found her passion and purpose in hypnotherapy and is now helping others to do the same. She spoke to Esther Lauaki about her career change. What’s your connection with Melton/ Moorabool?

and see op shopping as a way of reducing and recycling. Melton has a great range of affordable op shops. If you need a bit of this or that for a project, or a book, you never know what treasure you might find. I try to encourage everyone to give their useful stuff to the op shop.

We came from Bullengarook (near Bacchus Marsh) for my four sons to go to school at Mowbray College in Kurunjang and stayed. In the beginning it was like a country town, now it has grown and we have everything at our doorstep instead of having to travel out of the town.

What would people be surprised to know about you? That I have made two school libraries. I am a bookaholic and believe it is important for children to read. With so much technology available to young people it is important to teach them how to research and check information rather than accepting everything they read online without questioning it.

How long have you lived in the area? We moved here 25 years ago. Tell me about your background at Mowbray College.

What is the best thing about Melton/ Moorabool? (Marco De Luca)

I worked doing marketing and PR for Mowbray College for over six years. I also worked with student committees. I met many inspiring young people. I am still in contact with some of them. What made you become a hypnotherapist? I had work-related stress disorder … a friend recommended hypnotherapy. One session disappeared all that suffering and I decide that I wanted to be able to help others. I trained as a hypnotherapist and ego state therapist. Now I train and supervise therapists. What are you passionate about? There are many things I am passionate about. In my work I am passionate about helping people

change and in particular I love helping people discover their life purpose and helping them remove obstacles to them being successful. I am passionate about the value of Montessori education for preserving self-esteem and building confidence in young children. I also teach Parent Effectiveness Training which is based on assertive communication. Assertive parents grow assertive, resilient respectful, responsible children and through them there is more chance for peace in the world.

The Metro Tunnel will free up Melbourne’s biggest bottleneck All our train lines meet in the centre of Melbourne, and the City Loop has kept the whole network free-flowing. But Victoria’s population has grown and the City Loop is now full, which can tie up services. That’s why we’re building the Metro Tunnel. It will create more space and deliver five new underground stations at Arden (near North Melbourne), Parkville, two under Swanston Street, and Domain under St Kilda Road. Less congestion on our rail network means your journeys into the city and Southern Cross Station will be easier and more reliable. You will have the added option of switching to a Metro Tunnel service at Sunshine or Footscray, and you’ll save time in reaching key destinations around Melbourne, such as: > > >

Parkville’s world class hospital and education precinct Albert Park, the Shrine of Remembrance and the St Kilda Road arts precinct Employment, retail and dining hubs in the CBD

It’s Victoria’s biggest ever public transport project. There will be disruptions as we build it, but it will deliver many decades of benefits. See if you’re affected at metrotunnel.vic.gov.au

What hats do you wear in the community? In the past I was heavily involved in establishing Macedon Ranges Montessori Pre-school and spent years on the board of Gisborne Montessori School. I have run women’s discussions groups and post-natal depression support groups. What’s your favourite place to spend your time in the area? Op shops! I have always been a bit of a greenie

In the beginning I thought it a flat and boring landscape but over the years I have come to appreciate it. The biggest surprise is the number of huge old trees around the town. They even have their own Facebook page – Exceptional Trees in the City of Melton. It is wonderful to come around a corner and see a tree that may be hundreds of years old. If you could change anything about the area, what would it be? This week the council planted plane trees on the edge of the park at Darlingsford Bridge. These trees will block the view of the beautiful old gum trees that grow only on the margins of the creek.

Road Policing Enforcement Campaign Operation Regal Queens Birthday Holiday Weekend 2017 Operation Regal 2017 is a state-wide road policing operation which aims to increase driver awareness and journey planning, while reducing road trauma during the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, 9-12 June 2017. Victoria Police will implement a strategically co-ordinated and tactically focused approach to road policing targeting the five contributing factors to road trauma being speed, driver impairment, distraction, fatigue and seatbelts. This 4 day Road Policing Enforcement Campaign will run from Friday 9 June to Monday 12 June 2017. Westgate Highway Patrol Officer In charge Senior Sergeant Jason Templar said this operation will be conducted throughout all operational Police Regions and Police Service Areas during the four days, using all available personnel from local road policing units, general duties and other regional resources. 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 and make sure you are well rested. 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 Queens Birthday Holiday weekend. RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council Chairman Mr Jim Giddings said it has been demonstrated time after time that speed is a 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. Mr Giddings said the work of his group along with initiatives like the Operation Regal during the 2017 Oueens Birthday 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 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. Before embarking on any driving trips drivers should check their tyres, windscreen washers, brakes and lights.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir reckons he’s found Melbourne’s best Malaysian … We enjoyed our visit to Ya’Salam when the premises were being used to operate a Somalian eatery – though, truth be told, it was a bit too much of a drive to become a regular haunt. Now there’s new management in the place. They’ve retained the name – and even a page of Somalian food at the back of the new menu … but the rest is all about terrific Malaysian food. In fact, based on two visits, we reckon this is some of the best, cheapest and most authentic Malaysian food you’ll find in all of Melbourne. And word appears to have gotten out – we note with assured pleasure the happy, hungry tables of customers on our visits. Chicken laksa ($10) is unlike any I’ve eaten – and as good as any, too. The chicken is so finely shredded that it’s pretty much subsumed into the gravy, but that’s fine when the soup base is so funky, house-made and delicious. Protein oomph is provided by two hardboiled egg halves, and there’s plenty of cucumber and other vegie bits to provide texture and crunch to go with the fat, short udon-style noodles. Roti canai ($5) is a wonder. Accompanying a just-right bowl of runny chicken curry (with a dob of sambal paste) are the two lightest, flakiest and best flatbreads of the Malaysian style we’ve ever eaten. Simply – wow. Char kuey teow ($10) is a bit like our laksa – unlike any we’ve before tried. This one comes in a bowl and – appropriately

YA’SALAM RESTAURANT Address: 2/14 Lavinia Drive, Tarneit Phone: 9748 6860 – is more like a hearty, thick soup than the drier dish we’ve been expecting. No problems, though – because while the wok hei factor is predictably muted, there’s no doubting the flavours and all-round yumminess. Given the obvious real-deal vibe of everything served us thus far, we are keen to try the Ya’Salam satays. They’re unavailable, though, so we happily settle for two fine curry puffs ($1 each). Again, these are a far cry from your usual curry puffs. The rich short pastry is stuffed with an extremely toothsome jumble of chicken mince and vegetables. They could’ve been a tad hotter, however. The Ya’Salam food we’ve tried has been really fine. We’re usually not much concerned about notions of authenticity – but they have heaps of it here. Next time, we’ll be sure to try one of the many nasi goreng variations.

The smart money on vendor investments for the best price The adage, “You need to spend money to make money”, can ring true, but when it comes to selling a property, deciding what really adds value to help fetch the best price can be difficult. Matt McCann, chief executive of LocalAgentFinder, says that one of the most common questions asked by vendors is which areas of their home they should invest in. He says there are plenty of ways sellers can attract buyers without doing an entire remodel. Here are eight top tips:

What’s cost effective? 4. Style outdoor areas. The addition of new cushions on outdoor furniture can make a big impact, making the outdoors feel more liveable. 5. Indoor plants are affordable, easy to maintain and brighten up a living room or bathroom. And they can be taken to the seller’s next home.

What’s crucial? 1. A kitchen can make or break a property. Consider replacing old appliances. Re-covering old cupboards, benchtops and splashbacks can make a considerable difference. 2. Fix any visible flaws – buyers usually want “move-in ready” homes. Correct sub-floor drainage if needed, fix leaking taps, clear space under the house and clean gutters. Fresh paint and neatness are important. 3. Basic landscaping is very important. About 78 per cent of Australians would prefer to have a garden and greenery. The front garden can leave a lasting impression. A well-maintained pool is a great selling point, so get a professional in to thoroughly clean, check the water balance and ensure the pump is working well.

6. When showing off a property, it’s a good idea to turn on all lights to emphasise how bright the house can be. Replace expired light bulbs with new energy-efficiency ones. 7. A simple and inexpensive way to instantly maximise value is to have the home professionally cleaned. Carpets should be

UNDER CONTRACT

steamed, bathrooms and kitchens polished, windows cleaned and floors and walls washed. When it’s OK to stop 8. Sellers can over-capitalise on renovations. Experts say that money needs

to be spent on the right areas to add value to the end price. Vendors should work with their agents to make sure money is spent wisely – to match buyer expectations, the surrounding suburb’s standards and those of the houses immediately around the home.

SPORT Battling Bloods feel the tide may be about to turn

Morgan Bleszcz has stepped up to Melton’s A-grade side. (Shawn Smits)

Melton has enjoyed a less than stellar Ballarat Netball League season so far, but the Bloods are hoping their fortunes are about to improve. The Bloods, who had a bye at the weekend, sit on the bottom of the ladder without a win after six rounds, but have played a match more than most of their opposition. And while a win has been elusive, they have held their own – only the undefeated Sunbury Lions have blown them off the court. Bloods playing coach Katie Kakoschke admits it’s been a tough start to her first season in charge. “We have at least half a team that could be playing under-19s,” Kakoschke said. “We’ve struggled a little bit against the stronger players, but the younger players are doing a fantastic job. “The margins are getting smaller and smaller.”

Kakoschke said while the club had always intended to blood some of its younger players, they had taken on bigger roles than expected to fill the gap left by several players leaving in the off season. “Ebony Carter is one of our goalers and has come up and done a fantastic job,” Kakoschke said. “One of the main reasons we brought her up was we were struggling at that end of the court. She’s been consistent every week and starting to make a difference. “Telia Coverdale is a mid-courter and defender who came up, while Morgan Bleszcz didn’t come up from under-19s, but is just 17. “We’ve had three come up and there’s one in each area of the court. You can’t tell they are under-19 players.” Kakoschke said that on top of the players learning how to play together, the side has had to deal with injuries and unavailability.

These factors have hurt them at the attacking end especially, with Carter and Paige Corless only playing a few games together in the shooting circle. Kakoschke said they were hopeful of having a full team after the bye, which would allow them to be more settled. “We’ve stayed with teams at least for three quarters and then dropped off,” she said. “We’ve been two or three – or even maybe five – goals down at three-quarter time, before they run away with it. “If we can play four quarters, we might get a couple of wins towards the second half of the season. “The next three matches are against Ballarat teams, which will be a tough few weeks.” The Bloods’ next match is on Saturday against Sebastopol. Tara Murray

Jets waste opportunities By Lance Jenkinson Dissecting a loss north of 10 goals is the unenviable task facing Western Jets coach Torin Baker this week. One aspect of the Jets’ 63-point loss to Oakleigh Chargers at Warrawee Park on Saturday that will provide Baker with a smile was the performance of bottom-age defender Stefan Radovanovic. Radovanovic was earmarked as a player to watch for the Jets since the under-16s, but the Keilor junior has had an interrupted 12 months. The 17-year-old was nursed through the second half of last season with injury and missed all the pre-season games this year. But Radovanovic has managed to stay out of the medical room and play six games straight for the Jets, including a best-on-team display against the Chargers. “We’re absolutely rapt with him,” Baker said. “He’s one that we’ve known about for a while, but he’s just had some durability issues and hadn’t had a decent run at it. “He’s played the last six games in a row and he’s been in our best six players in nearly all of the games. We’re looking forward to what he is going to do for us over the next year and a half. “He’s played all his footy with us as a defender, but we’ll look to change up his role at stages through the year to make sure he keeps increasing his versatility. “He’s got excellent speed, really good judgment and just gives you 100 per cent every game.” Buku Khamis and Cam Rayner backed up their Big V selections with quality outings for the Jets. Khamis played as a permanent forward, working hard to provide a target and kicking two goals, even though the service inside 50 was not of the highest quality. “While he may not have got as good a supply as what we would have liked, he certainly won his position up forward,” Baker said. “He looked very dangerous.” With three goals, Rayner kicked half of the Jets’ six. While it was not Rayner’s most consistent performance, he did show flashes of the brilliance that has him being talked about as a potential AFL draftee later this year. “Cam did some of the things we’ve come to expect of him,” Baker said. “He’s got the brilliance in his play and he always has good moments in a game.” That is where the positives ended for the Jets. They kicked themselves out of the contest with 2.7 in the first quarter and never recovered. “The first quarter, we just sort of wasted a lot of very easy opportunities,” Baker said.

Melton in high scoring loss

Bottom-age player Stefan Radovanovic led the way for the Western Jets. (Damjan Janevski)

“This has been a theme across a few games and we’re aware of where we’re at with that. “We’re just not putting enough scoreboard pressure on the opposition and we’re not a good enough team at the moment to make the most of our chances.”

Khamis and Rayner will be joined in the Vic Metro squad by Jets teammates Lachlan Fogarty and Tristan Xerri. Vic Metro’s first game at the under-18 national championships will be against WA at Domain Stadium in Perth on June 18.

Melton’s men’s hockey team fell short in a high-scoring match against ECHO in Hockey Victoria’s winter Vic League 3 competition. Looking for their second win of the season, the Mustangs scored three times but it wasn’t enough losing 5-3. Stephen Lawrence was the goal scorer for the Mustangs, who remains fifth on the ladder after the game. The men’s reserve team had a better day, defeating ECHO 5-0. Ben Hanley-Woodbridge, Jason Knight, Scott McLaren, Matthew Mumford and Ben Strebs-Stelps scored for the Mustangs. The win was the side’s first for the season and moved them from bottom of the ladder to fifth. The metro 3 north west side also lost, 4-3 to Footscray. Both women’s sides lost against ECHO. The Vic league 2 side which was looking for its first win of the season lost 4-0, while the reserves side, also remains winless, losing 2-1. Kiara Ive was the scorer for the Mustangs. All the senior sides have the weekend off for the Queen’s Birthday weekend. In the juniors, the under-10 girls and under-10 mixed side lost, the under-12s had an 8-0 win against Footscray with Charlotte Fraser scoring a hat-trick and the under-14s won 4-0 against Footscray.

Hillside losing traction By Tara Murray A disappointing loss has put Hillside back in the pack in Essendon District Football League division 1. In what is shaping as a closely contested division, every win is vital for teams like the Sharks who are hunting a finals’ berth. The Sharks, coming off a bye, were hoping to return to the winners’ list against Tullamarine after losing their previous two games. The Sharks started well and led at quartertime, but it all went downhill from there. The Demons opened up a 10-point lead at half-time, and extended it to 12 points at three-quarter time. Despite outscoring the Demons in the final quarter, the Sharks couldn’t close the gap and lost 9.7 (61)-8.9 (57). Sharks football manager Cole Harvey said the final score did not reflect the game, nor Tullamarine’s dominance. “We didn’t deserve to win, Tullamarine was the better side all day,” he said. “To Tulla’s credit they stuck to structures and took control. We weren’t allowed to play our fast, free-flowing football. “The scores were close in the end but I thought the scoreboard flattered us.” Brandon Coletta kicked three goals and was one of the Sharks best on a dark day. Harvey said Victor Micallef and ruckmen Lachlan Rayner and Shannon Ball could also hold their heads high. The Sharks have a week off, with a competition-wide Queen’s Birthday bye, before taking on second-placed Airport West. With just eight points separating second and seventh, every win is important for the Sharks. The Sharks sit fourth with four wins, three losses and a bye. Harvey said they had been happy with where they were before Saturday’s result, with the loss keeping them in the pack of sides looking to make finals. “We’re a glass half full team so we’re not panicking.” In another loss for the Sharks, they’ve parted ways with James Micallef, who shared the division 1 competition best and fairest award with his brother last year, because he did not meet conditions in his contract. In other results, Taylors Lakes proved no match for ladder leaders Glenroy 16.15 (111)-6.12 (48) In premier division, it was a disappointing day for Keilor which lost to Avondale Heights, 12.16 (88)-8.12 (60). The Blues were in the lead at half-time, but kicked just two goals in the second half. In division 2, Burnside Heights came agonisingly close to its second win of the season against East Sunbury. Having lost to the Thunder after the siren in round one, the Bears lost this time, 13.12 (90)-13.5 (83). Keilor Park lost to Northern Saints by 103 points.

Late slump ends all hope A last quarter fade-out proved costly for Melton Thoroughbreds on Saturday night in Big V men’s division 1. Hosting Geelong Supercats, the Thoroughbreds were keen to get their second win on the board and for most of the match it looked like it just might happen. The Thoroughbreds led by three points at quarter-time and the margin remained that at half-time. They kept the pressure up in the third quarter – their best quarter of the match – and opened up a six-point lead into the final, having led by as many as 12 points. The Thoroughbreds got the lead out to nine points early in the last when Ivan Harris hit a three early. But the Supercats grabbed the lead with 1.04 left on the clock, and managed to hold on to win. The Thoroughbreds made just four shots in the final quarter, with Harris making three of those. Four of the five Thoroughbreds starters finished in double figures, with skipper Jason Todorov top-scoring on 25. There was little support from the bench though, and the Supercats dominated bench points 28-4. The Thoroughbreds didn’t have too long to recover, backing up on Sunday against Sunbury Jets who had Saturday night off. It was a game that went down to the wire, with the sides trading the lead late into the last quarter. The Jets hit the front for the last time with 2.16 on the clock and managed to hold off the Thoroughbreds 106-102. Todorov top-scored again with 24, while the other four starters all scored double figures. Tara Murray

Depleted list fails to stop charging Centrals An undermanned Melton Centrals side did what it needed to against a determined Woodend-Hesket in the Riddell District Netball League. Missing captain Jessica May, Rachel Dovaston and Sally Portbury, Centrals led all game against the Hawks but couldn’t break the match open until the final quarter. A 19-7 last quarter sealed the 59-36 win for the Centrals. Centrals’ coach Randy Pereira said while they would have liked a bigger result against a side without a win, they were happy with the match considering the circumstances. “Overall we’re pleased with a 21-goal win. It’s 44 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 6, 2017

not a bad result missing three of our starting seven. “All three can play in our midcourt. We had Hannah White come up but she’s had the flu all week and only lasted a half at centre. “My youngest daughter Taylor-Jane then came on. “Woodend is a very young team and I think they’ve improved heaps. Give them another year or two and they will be a really good side. “They’re not backwards in coming forward.” Rita White-Kay shot 40 goals from 48 attempts, while Rebecca Morabito shot 19 goals. Defender Catherine Hocking was named best on court.

The win comes a week after the Centrals’ best win of the season against Diggers Rest – their first against a team in the top six. Pereira said the players were really starting to gel after several new players joined the club in the off season. The Centrals sit fourth on the ladder with a 5-2 record. Those two losses have come against Romsey and Lancefield which are ahead of them on the ladder. “In both those games we were in the game, but let it slip,” Pereira said. “They ran over us on both occasions. I’m looking forward to playing those teams again.

“Each week is a challenge and we’re looking forward to seeing how we go against the top sides.” The Centrals have a weekend off for the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. They then face Rupertswood which sits one game behind. In other results, Diggers Rest suffered its second straight loss to slip behind Centrals and Rupertswood on the ladder. Macedon beat Romsey in the battle of the undefeated teams, Riddell returned to the winners’ list with a win against Rockbank and Rupertswood smashed Sunbury Kangaroos. Tara Murray

Rockbank suffers a setback on comeback campaign The positive signs for Rockbank continue, but now the focus is on playing well for a full four quarters in the Riddell District Football League. The Rams enter the Queen’s Birthday bye weekend 1-6, but have improved on their position this time last season. They’ve been in the mix in at least another three games, but were left to rue one poor quarter. Rams’ co-coach Leigh Sporle said the club’s focus was now on trying to ensure they were switched on for the full four quarters. “We were pretty unlucky against Melton Centrals and we were poor for a quarter against Wallan and the same with Riddell,” he said. “The top-four sides are hard to beat but we

think we can be competitive against the sides outside that. “We just have lapses of concentration where we’re not switched on for a quarter.” On Saturday against Riddell, it was the final quarter that proved to be the Rams’ downfall. While the Bombers led all game, the Rams kept the margin within six goals for most of the game. The Bombers kicked away in the last quarter and a half to win 15.17 (107) - 7.14 (56). Sporle said it had been a pleasing performance for most of the day as the team played most of the game a man down, with one of their best players Ricky Cameron going off injured in the first quarter.

“We were in the hunt for the majority of the day,” Sporle said. “Scores were pretty much even with the amount of points both sides kicked but if we had have kicked straight it would have been closer. “We missed four or five really get-able goals. We were right there with them, but they were a little bit more classy.” Alan Greenwood and Mark Stevens kicked two goals each for the Rams, and Tom Evans was named their best. Sporle said despite only one win entering this week’s bye, they were buoyant by what they had seen so far. He said as the side continues to gel and grow, he expected a few more wins to come. “We’re learning as we go and I think we’ll

Cobras in feel-good win By Tara Murray Bacchus Marsh has achieved a lot in the past 12 months on the football field, including winning its first Ballarat Football League premiership – but there was one thing it hadn’t ticked off. Try as they might, the Cobras still couldn’t overcome their nemesis, Redan. The last time the Cobras defeated the Lions was June 7, 2008. But on Saturday the Cobras finally broke that drought with a comprehensive win. The Cobras approached the game as if it was a final and came out firing. By half-time they were in control and held a 44-point lead. Redan fought back in the second half to make it a more even contest, winning the third quarter. But the Cobras regrouped to take full advantage of the work they’d done in the first half, going on to win 12.9 (81)-4.6 (30).

Spring Hills’ hopes of promotion continue to grow, with the Stallions moving to the top of the table in FFV state league 5 west. The Stallions had a 1-0 win against Moonee Valley Knights, it’s eighth win of the season, with Dimitrios Klothos scoring in the first half. The win moved them clear of Deakin Ducks, which were ahead on goal difference and drew at the weekend.

- Travis Hodgson

Cobras coach Travis Hodgson said it was a relief to finally knock off Redan. “There’s a big chance we’ll play them in the finals, so getting a win now is important,” he said. “It was pretty comprehensive and we set it up early. In four of our games we’ve been up at half-time by eight goals. We’re setting up our wins in the first half.” Jarrah Maksymow kicked four goals for the Cobras, while Hamish Coulton and Alec Del Papa kicked three each. Hodgson said they tried different players up forward, hoping to find more goalkicking options and take the pressure off Maksymow. “Two weeks ago, against Melton, Jarrah kicked one goal and we had 11 goal scorers,” he said. “Jarrah has adapted … and the spread is getting better. His numbers might drop, but others are stepping up.” The Cobras, who have lost just one game, have a tough fortnight ahead – they face North Ballarat City and then undefeated Lake Wendouree. Hodgson said the next two weeks could set up their season. “We’re only starting to see where everyone fits and know where we stand,” he said. The Redan win tops off a good week for the Cobras, with Hodgson re-signing as coach until the end of 2019. Cobras president Adam Sutherland said it was a no-brainer to keep Hodgson on board. “Travis has brought a lot of experience and a high level of coaching to the club and we’re delighted to have him on board for another two years,” Sutherland said. Hodgson said the faith the club had shown in him meant they could start planning for the future.

surprise a few sides in the second half of the season,” he said. “Once we get more wins we’ll get more confidence. “We’ve only won one game in two years really, so we need to play our best football against whoever we’re playing. “We’re filming games and going to more analysing and what we need to do.” In other matches, Diggers Rest made it three wins in a row, with a big victory against Lancefield, winning 25.18 (168) - 5.3 (33). Melton Centrals were in the game with Wallan until three-quarter time, before fading in the final quarter, losing 16.13 (109) - 7.4 (46).

Melton struggled to match it with second-placed Kiwi Hawthorn in Victorian Club Rugby Second Division, losing 60-19 on Saturday. The loss, Melton’s second in a row, means the side has slipped out of the top four.

Melton South’s strong form continued with its fourth win of the Ballarat Netball League season. The Panthers slowly opened up a lead across the game against Ballarat, eventually winning 55-51. The Panthers sit third on the ladder, but have played at least one and in some cases two games more than the other sides. Darley and Bacchus Marsh both had losses.

Caroline Springs women’s pennant F-grade team remains undefeated in Hockey Victoria’s winter competitions. On Saturday, they defeated Waverley 6-1.

2017 Peugeot 2008 Compact Crossover

ENGINE \ 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol POWER \ 81kW at 5500rpm

hough Peugeot got plenty right with the original 2008 crossover, it freely admits some elements were wrong. The brand did an admirable job anticipating the trend for compact SUVs, beating many rivals to market when the city SUV, based on the 308 hatch, arrived in 2013. But key ingredients weren’t quite right – the entry-level model was available only as a five-speed manual, other variants were saddled with an old four-speed auto. Peugeot has reworked its line-up for 2017, replacing a choice of two transmissions and three engines with a single 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol motor mated to a six-speed automatic. Finding that the majority of baby SUV buyers were avoiding cut-price models, the brand added extra features to its 2008 Active entry point, which has climbed from $21,990 (manual) to $26,490 plus on-road costs. The new entry-level car features a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, single-zone air-conditioning and 16-inch alloy wheels. But it doesn’t have autonomous emergency braking, which is reserved for the next rung up. Customers prepared to pay $30,990 can get into a 2008 Allure, which offers 17-inch alloy wheels, sat nav, self-parking and dual-zone climate control. The top-line 2008 GT-Line uses the same engine as lesser models. The $32,990 price gets you cosmetic upgrades. On the inside, the 2008 persists with Peugeot’s odd ergonomics framed around a tiny, low-set steering wheel and highmounted driver instruments that can be

obscured by the controls. Front occupant space is more than passable, but rear room is a little tight. While much of the 2008 remains unchanged since it first arrived, the 2017 model’s engine is now a turbocharged three-cylinder petrol motor borrowed from the 308 hatchback. It offers a charming thrum with more character

than regular four-cylinder engines, but can grumble and shudder under load at low revs. The 2008 offers confident road-holding and decent composure in the bends. It doesn’t ride quite as well as we’ve come to expect from Peugeot and the little engine can feel stressed when pressed. Like many examples of this breed, the 2008

offers little to recommend it over a similarly priced conventional car such as Peugeot’s excellent 308 hatch. But those who do gravitate toward the butch styling and extra ground clearance will be happy to see Peugeot has righted the wrongs of its original model. David McCowen

RESIDENT TESTIMONIALS â&#x20AC;&#x153;We moved to Bellbrook in 2015. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of the best and exciting things we have done. My husband still works. The people make this place. We have a great life outside of the Village but the community here is just brilliant. We have so many new friends and lifestyle choices, including cards and pool nights every Wednesday and happy hours on a Friday. Downsizing has given us freedom and we love our open plan home. Our family agree that we have never been so relaxed and happy. The Village is beautifully maintained, we have wonderful neighbours, security and we are all like minded.â&#x20AC;? ANNETTE
