Just cos it’s fun The lines between fantasy and reality can get a little blurry when you’re a cosplayer – but a group of enthusiasts want to send a clear message to young people. Gaming enthusiasts Emanuel and Vicky Cachia say that their love of cosplay (costume-play) prompted them to host events at the Pro Gamers internet cafe in Caroline Springs to celebrate popular culture. Cosplayers are fans that dress as well-known characters such as Batman, Aquaman and The Incredible Hulk. Emanuel says that the world of gaming and cosplay is often misunderstood. “It used to be that you couldn’t talk about playing Dungeons and Dragons or Minecraft – but it’s cool now,” he said. “It’s a great community for young people to get into because it’s about unity and acceptance. “The trend in entertainment these days is towards electronic gaming. But we want kids to hang out with other kids that enjoy the same things.” He says their aim is to bring people together. “The cosplay world and our gaming world are coming together,” he said. “We’re trying to keep imagination and fun alive.” Events are held on Saturdays and Sundays between 10am and noon at Pro Gamers.

Tip expansion approved By Esther Lauaki Victorian Planning Minister Richard Wynne has given the green light to a reduced extension of the Ravenhall landfill – but opponents are calling rubbish on the decision. Mr Wynne last week approved a planning permit for the expansion of the Melbourne Regional Landfill at Ravenhall that will be 93 hectares – less than half the size of the 211 hectares originally proposed. The controversial project received nearly 4000 objections, via a campaign driven by the Stop the Tip group, during consultation last year.

A total of 103 individual submissions were received, including several supporting the proposal. Mr Wynne said the decision was consistent with the Environment Protection Authority works approval granted in March and reflected advice from the independent planning panel. “We are serious about reducing waste, increasing recycling and reducing demand for more landfill space,” he said. “I have approved a significantly smaller tip expansion than what was proposed, with conditions attached to protect the broader community.” The approved permit will expire in 2046, rather than in 2068 as requested, to ensure

more focus on recycling and reducing waste to landfill. Mr Wynne said it would be no closer to homes in Caroline Springs, Burnside, Deer Park and Derrimut than the existing landfill. Melton and Brimbank councils expressed disappointment with the announcement. Brimbank mayor John Hedditch said the community felt “dumped on” and would be reviewing the detail of the panel report and recommendations before determining its options. Melton mayor Sophie Ramsey said her council stated its opposition in a submission to the panel hearing and again in a more recent

application for review at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal against the EPA’s decision to grant the works approval. Stop the Tip campaigner Marion Martin said the community felt “betrayed”. “We think this is a disaster for the west,” Ms Martin said. “With a stroke of his pen, Mr Wynne has condemned the west to decades of rubbish dumped in a stinking tip. “The west is not Melbourne’s dumping ground. “We want jobs and opportunities not a tip and we will fight for as long as it takes to stop this from going ahead.”

Cash helps ease traffic flow By Esther Lauaki A $5.5 million injection into some of Moorabool’s major roads projects could be the solution to traffic woes through Bacchus Marsh. Construction of an eastern link road through the heart of the town will be explored after the state government last week pledged $3 million for a planning investigation. The plan will look at ways to take traffic off Grant Street, which is the primary thoroughfare and runs past two schools and the hospital. It will also aim to establish a route for a north-south link on the eastern side of Bacchus

Marsh with the ultimate goal of creating a business case for the project by the end of next year to be considered in the 2019-20 budget. Moorabool mayor David Edwards welcomed the state government announcement, which also included $2.5 million to upgrade Gisborne Road and Holts Lane interchange to the Western Highway. He said both projects would create a better quality network for those people using these roads daily. The upgrades will include additional lanes at the Gisborne Road and Holts Lane intersection and a slip lane connecting traffic to the Western Freeway Melbourne-bound entry ramp.

“Both these projects will ease congestion through the centre of Bacchus Marsh, which is urgently needed,” Cr Edwards said. “Council has been advocating for this for a long time. Our rapid population growth and the high amount of vehicles using the Gisborne Road interchange daily has resulted in a great demand for an eastern link and upgrades to roads to ease congestion. “I commend the work done by council officers … who have researched and advocated for the best outcomes for Bacchus Marsh, and thank the government and VicRoads for committing to this important project.”

Serving the Melton community is a way of life for Stephen Hirt. The long-time Country Fire Authority captain was awarded a medal of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday honours for his service spanning more than 50 years. He’s been a volunteer firefighter since 1962 and served as group deputy officer based at the Mount Cottrell brigade from 1972 to 2012. His love and support of local sports has earned him a life membership at Melton Football Club and he still sits on a number of community boards. Not a lot of Mr Hirt’s community service goes unnoticed either.

He’s received Melton council’s Citizen of the Year, an Australian Fire Service medal, a CFA outstanding service medal and numerous national emergency service medals. Mr Hirt was born and raised in Melton and said helping out a neighbour in need was “just something that people did”. “I lived in Melton 76 years,” he said. “I went to Melton South Primary School and went on to Sunshine tech from there. “In those days, the whole shire had a population of 500 – so we knew everyone. “When you had to help someone who needed a hand you just rolled up your sleeves.” But he says those times have changed. “When I was in the footy club as a young man, you used to get there early and mow the footy oval before the game, you wouldn’t see that now,” Mr Hirt said. “There was once a time when you’d drive through Melton and if you blinked you’d miss it. There were only three street lights in Melton in those days … and you’d have to be home before they turned off. “We never used to lock our doors and the

“You do it because there’s a job to be done. I’ll be proud to wear the honour because there were a lot of hard yards done to get here. “I love Melton and I’ll continue helping out as long as I can.”

Up to 80 Brimbank and Melton children from abusive or disadvantaged households will be offered free counselling and other support services. The federal government has committed almost $680,000 to a program run by not-for-profit organisation Baptcare that will help refugee children and their families and those living on low incomes in Brimbank and Melton who are victims of family violence. The program, called Reaching Children Through Universal Service, will offer counselling and case management. Baptcare’s Hayley Robinette said the program would be delivered in partnership with local councils and primary and secondary schools. Ms Robinette said the impact of family violence on children was often underestimated. A report by the Commission for Children and Young People found there were family violence services for adults, but a lack of services specifically for children and young adults. She said the program aimed to fill that gap “so that children and young people are no longer silent victims, and are instead supported with early intervention, minimising the risks of unresolved trauma as they grow into adults.” The program is open to children aged up to 18 and will begin accepting referrals at the end of the month.

Buninyong MP Geoff Howard said the government hoped the community would contribute to the project which aimed to ease the growing pains on the town’s 18,500 population. “We want to hear from the community about how we can get trucks out of the centre of town and improve safety for those that live and work in the area and depend on this road each day.” Construction on the Gisborne Road and Western Freeway interchange upgrade is expected to begin later this year and take 18 months to complete.

The Melton Broncos’ girls’ tag team. (Supplied)

Broncos in uniform call The Melton’s Broncos girls’ tag team players are dead keen on rugby league and their club would love to offer them more avenues to move through the grades. Right now, the club has a single female team - a junior girls team. Tag, a non-contact variation of rugby league, has only been played at Melton for about three seasons, with the team’s co-coach, Rachel Ruzanji, saying help from the community would help increase interest in the sport. She says the Broncos plan to introduce under-12 and under-14 girls tag teams, but need sponsorship and volunteers. “As female players within the rugby league community, we are struggling to properly represent our club because we either don’t

have enough or we have damaged uniforms,” Ms Ruzanji says. “Our club is only very young compared to others, and although we have a lot of male teams, varying in ages, our one girls team really would appreciate any sort of help to represent the club.” Ms Ruzanji said one very attractive aspect of the club was the low fee structure relative to other team sports. “Our fees aren’t actually that high,” she said. “Fees covers uniforms, registration, insurance and equipment use.” Information: rachel@bundysengineering. com Esther Lauaki

Darley Football Club has been hit twice by burglars and police are appealing for information on two males captured on CCTV on May 24.

Carpark growth to ease pressure By Esther Lauaki A major carpark expansion of 270 car spaces may ease parking pressure at Melton train station. Construction has begun on the carpark upgrade that will also include new lighting, line markings, CCTV and signage to make the carpark safer and easier to get around. Western Victoria MP Jaala Pulford last week announced that the works are part of the state government’s $20 million upgrades program, which will deliver more than 2100 extra

parking spaces at regional and metropolitan train stations where they are needed most. “Not only will there be more parking, but train users will be safer with new CCTV cameras and lighting being installed,” Ms Pulford said.

“As we upgrade the Ballarat Line, it’s important we meet the growing needs of transport users in Melton.” Melton South resident Michael Scott has long campaigned for more parking options in the area and said he welcomed the expansion but has concerns about what will happen during the works. “I live across from the station and there is a temporary gravel carpark near my house,” Mr Scott said. “When that fills up, people park outside my house and we have to drive over the nature strip to get into our property sometimes.

“If they close that temporary carpark to redo the station, where are those cars going to go? “There needs to be a solution in the meantime.” Ms Pulford said the government is also getting on with its $518 million Ballarat Line upgrade, which will duplicate the line to Melton and create space for more trains, more often through Melbourne’s west. The Melton station carpark is expected to be complete by December. Information: www.victrack.com.au/ carparkupgrades

His show, Tricky Extravaganza, combines his passion for visual slap-stick comedy, mime and impressive illusions. Audience participation is all part of the package and one person could be plucked from their seat to experience the magic. Ilic says he fell in love with magic at age 13 when his friend showed him a card trick that sparked his curiosity. Many years of practice later, he decided to delve into the entertainment industry and has now been performing for more than a decade.

Playtime again at kindergarten By Esther Lauaki Families will barely recognise the Diggers Rest Kindergarten’s new digs. The kindergarten has officially reopened following major repairs undertaken after a vehicle smashed through the building last year. A stolen car slammed into the kindergarten during the early hours of November 30. Police said two offenders fled the scene, leaving extensive damage where the vehicle was embedded inside the building.

Melton council took the opportunity to carry out additional refurbishment works while the Plumpton Road site was closed, including rebuilding the children’s bathroom, replacing the vinyl flooring, replacing the carpet in the kindergarten room and repainting the inside of the centre. The kindergarten was temporarily relocated to Diggers Rest Primary School but has now moved back home. Melton mayor Sophie Ramsey said that the support of local families, the primary school and kindergarten staff helped ease the distress

of the children and families affected by the damage to the centre. “We sincerely thank everyone involved for their patience and co-operation over the past six months, in particular the Diggers Rest primary for providing suitable accommodation for the kindergarten families and staff during the refurbishment works,” Cr Ramsey said. “It was a fantastic display of community spirit and a pleasure to see everyone rally together to achieve a positive outcome for our children. “I hope their transition from their temporary

location at Diggers Rest Primary to the newly refurbished kindergarten will go smoothly, a place where they can learn, play, and grow in a safe and nurturing environment.” Families interested in enrolling their child in four-year-old kindergarten in 2018 can go online to www.melton.vic.gov.au/kindergarten before Friday, July 21 to be considered in first round offers. Children must be four years old from April 30 the year the child attends kindergarten to be eligible for a funded four-year-old kindergarten place. The application fee for 2018 is $27.

100 years of fortitude Royal blood might not flow through Edna Veitch’s veins but she was treated like a queen for a day when she celebrated her 100th birthday last week. The centenarian marked the milestone last Wednesday with her friends and family in Ballan. Edna was born in Smokeytown, outside of Creswick, and was the daughter of farmers William and Elizabeth Veitch. Long life runs in the Veitch family, one of Edna’s sisters lived to 101. She says her childhood growing up in rural Victoria was no easy ride. “If you needed a shower, you would jump in the dam,” Edna says. She says that times were tough before World War II and the only work she could get was domestic work until 1938 when her sister Isobel landed a job in the Godfrey Hirst mill in Geelong.

“They said they would take me on if my sister taught me to weave and she did,” Edna says. “Everyone thinks Godfrey Hirst makes carpets, but during the war they did military orders.” Edna worked at the mill for 17 years but eventually moved home. She spent another 21 years as a domestic worker in the Queen Elizabeth Home in Ballarat until she retired. Although Edna never married, she says she has a “tonne of nieces” to love. Esther Lauaki

Funding boost for our CFA, SES By Esther Lauaki Close to $90,000 has been pumped into emergency services in Melton and Moorabool through the latest round of government grants.

They were among hundreds of volunteer organisations to receive funding through

the latest round of the Labor Government’s $15 million Emergency Services Volunteer Sustainability grants program. Bacchus Marsh CFA received about $39,000 for station improvements including installation

of a new solar power energy system with battery storage and LED lighting. The grant will also fund a refrigerator and smart television for Mount Egerton and new hoses and storage for Gordon brigades. Also sharing in funding is the Melton SES, which will receive more than $30,000 for a new clubhouse, fence gate and carpark. Western Victoria MP Jaala Pulford said these grants will assist volunteers in the crucial work they do in keeping the community safe. “I would like to congratulate all the

emergency service volunteers and I hope the grants assists them in the outstanding job they do,” Ms Pulford said. Bacchus Marsh SES gets new floors and storage with its $7000 grant. More than 280 grants worth in excess of $3.6 million will go to Victorian volunteers in this round of the funding program. Emergency services minister James Merlino congratulated volunteers for the work they do across Victoria. Details: www.emv.vic.gov.au/esvsgrants

Big plans for tiny parks The parks will include local species of trees and seating designed by a Ballan stonemason. Ms Day says the initiative was a collaborative effort between the Chamber of Commerce, the arboretum group and a local resident. She hoped that the parks would help drivers reduce speed and improve the area. “Our initial thought was, ‘how can we provide an area where you can get out with the kids and throw a ball, sit in the sun or just read a book?’” Ms Day said. “We decided to plant trees … to make the scale of that stretch of the long roads in the town feel more domestic rather than feeling like a freeway.” Esther Lauaki

Ballan residents could have several “pocket parks” to enjoy by the end of next month, thanks to the efforts of the local arboretum group. The group, which plans to plant a selection of tree varieties around the town, campaigned for some vacant public land to be transformed into small parks. Ballan Arboretum Group chairwoman Stephanie Day said Moorabool council recently gave the green light to develop two miniature parks at Edols Street and Steiglitz Street and the parks should be ready by the end of July. Ms Day says the aim is to “plant purposeful trees in purposeful places”. “Some trees have already been planted at the entrance of the town so that you get a sense of arrival,” she says. “We want people to see something beautiful and slow down and enjoy the scenery. We also want to provide a lovely green space.”

Mice not so nice for play centre By Alexandra Laskie Melbourne is being over-run by mice and a Caroline Springs play centre is among the casualties. Chipmunks play centre was forced to close earlier this month for two days after complaints about mice faeces at the Western Highway business. Cairnlea mother of two Kendi Evangelista was at the indoor play centre with her two daughters when a piece of play equipment was accidently pushed, revealing “hundreds of rat droppings”.

She informed staff, who swept up the faeces. “They did not block off the area and [it] remained open until closing time,” she said. Ms Evangelista made a complaint with Melton council, Kids Safe and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Council compliance manager Ian Stewart said council staff visited the centre to investigate. “The owners are working with us to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, this includes cleaning and implementing preventative measures,” he told Star Weekly.

On its Facebook page, Chipmunks Australia apologised to its customers. “What happened yesterday was something we are very embarrassed and gutted about,” the post said. “We take kids safety very seriously and we are so heartbroken with what happened.” Chipmunks isn’t the only Western Highway business grappling with mice. Fantastic Furniture has been forced to call in pest controllers to deal with the vermin, which have been seen running around the store during the day. Staff member Syanpha Thewma said five

mice were recently spotted in a single day. “We get them in because we have a warehouse, but it’s never been this bad,” she said. “I’ve been at this store for nearly two years, and it’s never been like this.” Sunshine-based Amalgamated Pest Control’s Anthony Barrett said ideal breeding conditions were to blame for the rodent plague. “The weather conditions over summer were ideal,” he said. “It wasn’t overly hot and we had plenty of rain around, which produced plenty of food for the mice, leading to more breeding.”

Celebrating a new life and relatives are still back home.” Ballan Refugee Realities spokeswoman Elaine Conlan said the event will include music and cultural performances, a vibrant feast and an opportunity to hear refugees’ experiences. “Our aim is to give the Ballan community an opportunity to learn from personal stories from people who have come to Australia as refugees, and together celebrate the rich and diverse contributions that they have given,” Ms Conlan said. “The long-term purpose of the group is to be able to welcome refugee families into the Ballan community.” Ballan Refugee Realities is on Sunday, June 18 between 12.30pm and 3.30pm at Ballan Mechanics Hall.

cr sophie ramsey mayor’s message

Cr Ken Hardy Coburn Ward

As Mayor, it’s not unusual for people to contact me about events that are taking place within our community. I can assure you, I take every conversation I have...

Anyone who has opened a newspaper or turned on the news recently has undoubtedly seen stories about robberies...

...with residents seriously, particularly those that concern safety, both out in our neighbourhoods and within the family home.

...and break-ins occurring in homes right across Melbourne, including the City of Melton.

Recently, a spate of home break-ins has caused fear and discontent within our community. At a recent public forum hosted by Victoria Police in Taylors Hill, attendees made it perfectly clear that the lack of police resources in our ¡ ¢ and the increased angst amongst residents was obvious.

I, myself, have had a personal experience with a robbery, having recently been the victim of a break-in at home.

On behalf of our community, Council continues to proactively advocate to the State Government on matters outside the scope of Council’s core responsibilities, in particular, to ensure we have the resources, infrastructure and programs in place to maintain community safety across our municipality. Council is therefore calling on the Premier, Daniel Andrews, and the Police Minister, Lisa Neville, to take necessary action to reassure the community that their wellbeing is being taken seriously by the State Government. Such action we believe, should take the form of making the current, temporary crime Task Force permanent within the City of Melton, and providing visible and timely responses to incidents and reducing the likelihood of such incidents occurring in future. ª ¡ ¡ « ª ¢ Council, along with residents, is becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of action from State Government, who have primary responsibility for matters of law and order. Naturally, Council will keep the community informed of the outcomes of current and future advocacy activities undertaken on behalf of the community. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any ideas or issues on 0412 584 067 or sophie.ramsey@melton.vic.gov.au

A Proud Community Growing Together 12 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 13, 2017

While these kinds of incidents are not new or unique to our community, this recent ¹ ¹ º ¡ that has been on many residents’ minds of late. Last month, I attended a Community Safety Forum at Taylors Hill Youth and Community Centre, which was run by Victoria Police. Over 130 locals attended the ¡ ¢ ¼ ¡ « ¡ ¢ who are ultimately responsible for law and order. Council is very aware of the fears residents have around community safety, and we are calling on the State Government and Victoria Police to set up a permanent Task ½ º ¢ ¼ ¡ ¡ ³ ¾ ¿ ¡ ª « « ¡ ¹ ¡ on the community’s behalf, and we will provide updates on the outcomes of these activities as they come to hand. We live in a City each of us can be proud of. Most people who live here are good, law abiding, citizens that positively contribute to our community, and it’s important that we remember this, and continue to look out for each other, now more than ever. Please feel free to contact me on 0437 226 887 or email: ken.hardy@melton.vic.gov.au

MY PLACE Adrian Stroe led an action-packed life in Romania before he settled down in Australia. He spoke to Esther Lauaki about the quiet life in Bacchus Marsh. people have a bad start and they keep making mistakes. But they are young. Most of these guys are between 18 and 25 years old. They still have enough time to understand what they are doing wrong and break the cycle. I just talk with them and make them understand that it’s their choice to do the right thing. If just one of them changes their life, that would be a success for me.

I’ve enjoyed travelling here and so I settled in Bacchus Marsh one and half years ago. Being here makes me feel like I’m home. Tell me about your background. Where did originally come from? I’m Romanian. I haven’t been to Romania for five years. I used to work for the United Nations in Afghanistan on secondment for a year between 2010 to 2011. I met a woman over there and fell in love with an Australian woman. She was a volunteer and I was a personal protection officer for UN ambassador Staffan de Mistura.

What are you passionate about? I’m passionate about social justice and law. What did it mean to you to become an Australian citizen this week?

It’s more than being a bodyguard. You are a security officer, you organise meetings, liaise with governments, collect intelligence, make connections and make sure that everything goes smoothly. What brought you to Australia? I didn’t want to come here originally because I had a good job in Romania. But my wife at the time wanted to come home to live and so I quit my job and moved to Australia. The relationship didn’t work out but we had a daughter and I decided to stay here. I would never leave my daughter now. Are you still in that line of work?

(Dennis Manktelow)

What did your role as a personal protection officer involve?

I’m in a similar field. I work for Corrections Victoria. I’m a youth support officer for the clients that were in the juvenile system, but they couldn’t be held there so they’ve been sent to prison. How are you involved in the community? Through my work, I’m a youth support officer and I rehabilitate people. Sometimes,

Le Mans Toyota

It was important for me to become a citizen because my daughter is an Australian and I wanted to be one too. I came here in 2012 and I have since had offers of work in other countries but I wanted to stay here and become a citizen. What’s your favourite place to spend your time in Moorabool? Most of the time I spend time with my daughter we go down to the oval at Maddingley Park in Bacchus Marsh. She’s just learned to kick a football, we take the dogs and we play there. What is the best thing about Moorabool? It’s a settled community and everyone takes care of their properties. I don’t see any bad people, there are no syringes on the ground, it’s a peaceful community.

Grade 6 sudents Lochie and Amber recycling. (Marco De Luca)

Smart kids clean up Kids are at Bacchus Marsh Primary School are leading the way on living sustainably. They are among hundreds of students from Melton and Moorabool entering the annual ResourceSmart awards that recognise the sustainability work being done in schools. Science teacher Jane McWhinney said students, teachers and parents are working hard to spread awareness about how their actions impact the environment. “Our Green Team, consisting of eight grade 5/6 children with a passion for sustainability, are leading the change at our school,” Ms McWhinney said. “They have been involved with Clean up Australia Day, Walk to School Safely Day and have encouraged children to keep our yard

clean with their own initiative, Rubbish Spies. “We are also encouraging our school community to recycle rubbish to the correct bin to reduce the waste that goes to landfill.” Western Victoria MP Jaala Pulford is encouraging local schools to join Bacchus Marsh as well as Exford and Coburn primary schools in rising to the challenge. “We want schools to work with the broader community and encourage everyone to recycle and buy from sustainable sources. Together we can make a difference,” she said. The ResourceSmart Schools Awards will be announced in October. For information visit resourcesmartschools.vic.gov.au

Learning : The key to success in health, fitness and life Global Fitness Institute has returned its headquarters to Melton, with the opening of a fully equipped learning campus and personal training gym, for both the conducting of classes and PT sessions to the public. Having been first formed in 2006 by Melton local Michael Muleta, after an extensive VCE PE teaching career, Global Fitness Institute built a strong reputation during the fitness education boom as one of Australia's leading private vocational education providers. Since its formation, Global Fitness Institute enjoyed success with over 3000 students across Australia, along with delivering programs and workshops internationally. Whilst some of the higher profiled colleges have recently fallen by the wayside, as well publicized, GFI continues to provide a high quality, yet personalized service across its range of Fitness, Massage, First Aid, Nutrition and Business courses. With over 30 years in vocational and secondary education, along with having been invited to teach in over a dozen countries, Michael Muleta leads the course delivery team at GFI to ensure students get high quality for their investment and can draw from the benefit of his success, experience and wealth of knowledge.

‘One of the strengths of GFI is that we provide a customised experience for our students, we take an interest in each individual as we are not obsessed with having the biggest school, rather maintaining quality and delivering outcomes.’, Michael says. Having been based in some of Australia’s largest gyms over the past decade, we’ve had AFL footballers, world champion athletes and many students go on to forge successful businesses, which is great of course. but we’re equally at home providing courses to the general public, career changers, school leavers and VET in schools students.’ Muleta goes on to say: ‘We’re quite excited about our new campus here in Melton, to return to where it all began for us, but in our own place, there’s a sense of home about it.’ GFI offers Government recognized Certificates to Advanced Diplomas in Fitness, Massage, Business, Management and First Aid. The newly opened facility on Exford Road, includes a fully equipped Personal Training gym for both public bookings and to provide the best learning environment for their students. Personal Training is offered for weight management, fitness, strength, boxing/kickboxing and body transformation.

GFI also offers nutritional advice and fitness assessments or programs from their fully qualified staff. ‘The added attraction of our facility is that we can directly place and oversee students in work placement saving them the trouble of finding an employer.’ With a combination of daytime and evening classes, online learning and full support, courses are open to all members of the public . ‘Shortly we’ll be adding massage therapy clinics for our students also, along with increasing our boxing and martial arts space’, Michael , a former International athlete and coach says. So for those looking to become personal trainers, fitness instructors or massage therapists, or perhaps develop your business skills in leadership, marketing and management – then Global Fitness Institute is for you. GFI also run regular First Aid courses.

GFI does not take huge upfront payments, to make the courses more accessible to everyone, with weekly payments spread over the duration of the course. Discounts are available to concession card holders and students.

Palm Lake is just the place for a life of luxury As people hit their 50s, thoughts begin to turn to the next lifestyle stages, such as becoming empty-nesters and, further down the track, the retirement years. Some couples don’t want to rattle around – and maintain – a big house when the kids leave, nor want a large, attention-hungry garden to worry about while travelling, which they may now they have the means and freedom to pursue. Palm Lake Resort Truganina is designed for such people – those who want the benefits of downsizing or an active retirement in a five-star lifestyle community. The resort is a place that welcomes you back from your latest cruise or overseas adventure, with gardens looking lush, home secure and a meal to be had in the Paradise Palms Clubhouse bistro. Of course, for people who are just as happy to “play” around the resort, there’s no shortage of home-grown fun, with activities ranging from upbeat to relaxed. The indoor heated pool, spa and sauna is fab for a morning swim or to get into aqua aerobic classes. Maintaining fitness is also catered for with a gym, Pilates classes and yoga, as well as ballroom and line dancing activities which get extra ticks for being a fun way to socialise. There’s an undercover bowling green, bocce games, table tennis, mini and virtual golf, arts and craft classes, carpet bowls, bingo, darts, pool and snooker. And that only counts some of the perks. Another is the luxury 49-seat cinema – relaxation central, plus great for the visiting grandchildren. The social club organises excursions in the resort’s bus, with a weekly shopping trip an always popular fixture. Palm Lake Resort has no entry fees or stamp duty when you move in, there are no council rates to pay and use of all facilities is unlimited. You also keep 100 per cent of any capital gain. Only seven homes remain in the final release, with well-priced two- and three-bedroom designs available. For a personal tour of the resort or more information, call 1800 686 096.

SPORT Young hockey guns ready to make a statement Two of Caroline Springs Hockey Club’s youngest stars are shining with the hockey stick in hand. Aimee Jungfer recently represented Victoria at the under-15 national championships in Sydney. Next month, she’ll represent the North West Tigers in the Junior State Championships. Both are massive achievements by the 14-year-old who only took up playing hockey last year. “Last year was my first full year of hockey,” she said. “I wanted to play hockey because mum was playing, but I was playing too many other sports. “Last season a team needed a fill-in and mum let me play and I kept playing. It’s a good team sport and you can learn heaps of new skills.” Jungfer was a natural at the sport and was quickly playing several times a week. She

currently plays with Essendon in juniors and plays seniors at Caroline Springs. Among her teammates at Caroline Springs is her mum Kathy. Last year she made the under-14 state team, but the team didn’t compete at the national titles. So this year she was keen to have the chance to represent her state. “It was a really good experience and mostly fun. “My team came sixth. A lot of the states had two teams and I was in the second Victorian team.” Next month she’ll play for the North West Tigers at the Junior State Championships. With seven state players in the team, she thinks they’ll have a good chance at winning gold. Long term, Jungfer would love to pull on the green and gold and represent her country.

Nolan Cockburn and Aimee Jungfer. (Robert Lake)

But Jungfer isn’t the only Caroline Springs player to be selected for the North West Tigers teams, with Nolan Cockburn selected

Bloods ready for battle By Tara Murray It was a sense of relief for Melton after turning its form into a win in Ballarat Football League. The Bloods had won just one of their first six matches as they faced most of the top teams in the first third of the season. Now facing sides that are around them on the ladder, Bloods coach Brad Murphy is hoping they can launch their season. On Saturday they took the first step, with a comprehensive win against Sebastopol. It was an even first quarter, before the Bloods stamped their authority. They kept the Burras goal-less in two of the last three quarters in the 15.12 (102)-4.16 (40) win. For Murphy, it’s a performance that he saw coming. “I think we’ve been building towards it. The results haven’t been great but we’ve played the top four sides. “I think we’ve been competitive, but just haven’t had the class. “It’s been hard to sell the message to the boys that they’ve been going okay. “We had an honest discussion during the week and it’s a good sign for a coach for them to respond.” Murphy said they had identified during the week that the Burras weren’t a high scoring team so if they shut down their forward line it would go a long way to winning. He said the job of Riley Walker to keep Michael Powell goal-less was a big reason for the win. Angus Grigg kicked three goals for the Bloods, in his best return for the season, while Blake Souter kicked two goals. Souter and Connor Griffiths were two of the players who Murphy asked to step up during the week. Griffiths responded and was best on ground. The Bloods side yesterday had eight players that were under-20 in a good sign for the future. Another one of the younger players to step up was Lachlan Walker. Walker was named during the week in the Worksafe AFL Victoria Country Senior under-19 representative squad to take on the Victoria Amateur Football Association. With a second win under their belts, Murphy said they were hoping to add a couple more wins in the next few weeks to keep their finals alive. “The next three weeks we are playing teams which are around us on the ladder, fighting for fifth and sixth spot,” he said. “If we win the next two or three games in the next few weeks, it holds us in good stead heading into the back end of the season. “Our best footy is finals worthy and we just have to get there.” 46 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 13, 2017

for the first time. Cockburn moved from New Zealand to Australia earlier this year with his family. “It’s a great opportunity,” he said. Having played hockey since primary school, Cockburn was just playing for his high school team in New Zealand. Since making the move across the Tasman he’s been playing more regularly. He’s goalkeeper for Caroline Springs’ men’s side. “Hockey is a family sport, my dad used to play when he was younger,” he said. Cockburn said he’d love to get playing hockey for as long as possible. “I want to get better at it and play at highest level I can.” Tara Murray

Darley names new coach Darley Cricket Club has appointed Melton premiership player Michael Alexander as its new coach. The club announced on Tuesday that Alexander would take over the coaching reigns of the Ballarat Cricket Association club from Heath Pritchard. Pritchard coached the side for two seasons and led the club to its first ever BCA grand final last season. Pritchard decided in December that he wouldn’t go on for another season. That led the Lions to turn to another experienced campaigner in Alexander, who came across from Melton which plays in the higher level Victorian Sub-district Cricket Association. Alexander, who has played premier cricket for Carlton, has been a stalwart at the top of the order for Melton. He has also been involved in several premierships with Melton, where he played his junior cricket. “The club got in contact with me about a month ago and we had some discussions,” Alexander said. “I thought it was a good fit and I knew a few players at the club. “I had no plans and was planning to continue with Melton. The new role sparked some motivation and interest and seems a good fit. “It’s mixed feeling leaving Melton, I thought I’d stay a one club player so there is some sadness. I have a lot of good friends at the club.” It’ll be the second time Alexander has taken on a coaching role. He coached Melton in 2015-16 when it was going through a rebuilding phase. This time it’s a different set of circumstances. “The goal is to win a premiership,” he said. “I think the philosophies and skill set stays the same. The cornerstone of what I do won’t change, just a few tweaks to the game plan and play and train to have success.” Alexander, who is likely to slot in at the top of the order, said most of last season’s side would return. “We’ll probably only lose one player,” he said. “We’re talking to one or two players to add some depth. He said the club hoped Pritchard would remain at the club. Pritchard took 20 wickets and averaged 25 with the bat last season.

Spring Hills continues to lead the way in FFV state league 5 west with another win. The Stallions, who sit on top of the ladder, defeated Keilor Wolves 2-1. Meanwhile in state league 4 west, Melton Phoenix’s run on the winners list was left at one with the Phoenix losing 2-0 to Newmarket Phoenix. The loss leaves Melton, which is last, three points behind 11th placed Newmarket.

Bacchus Marsh lost a nail-biter against North Ballarat City in the Ballarat Netball League. Scores were close all day, with City eventually winning 43-42. Susan Watson shot 32 goals for the Cobras. Lake Wendouree defeated Darley 59-47, with a massive 21-9 first quarter setting up the win. Melton South lost to East Point, 56-45, while Sebastopol defeated Melton 51-27.

Devils drop to second Lake Wendouree came on top in the battle of the undefeated teams against Darley in the Ballarat Football League on Saturday. Having set the benchmark this season, the match-up didn’t disappoint with an even contest for much of the day. Eight points was the biggest margin at any of the breaks, with the Devils holding the narrow lead each time. The Lakers found another gear in the last quarter, kicking 5.6 to 2.6 to seal the 12.12 (84)-9.17 (71) win.

Harley Inglis kicked three goals for the Devils, while Mark Hanson and Chris Graham kicked two goals apiece. Kyle Docherty, who kicked nine goals last week was restricted to just one goal. Jackson Carrick and Tom Evans were best in the loss. Compounding the result was a hamstring injury to playing coach Heath Scotland. Scotland has been one of the Devils best this season. The Devils slip to second on the ladder and now are only percentage ahead of third placed Bacchus Marsh. The Devils have the bye this week.

Melton Broncos defeated Altona Roosters 18-14 in Victorian Rugby League second division on Saturday. The win was the Broncos third of the season and they sit ninth on the ladder.

Meanwhile, Devils skipper Shane Page and Brian Graham have been named in the initial Worksafe AFL Victoria Country Senior representative squad to take on the Victoria Amateur Football Association. Bacchus Marsh pair Jarrah Maksymow and Scott Sherlock have also been named in the team. All four were part of the BFL side that defeated Bendigo Football League in a thriller in their interleague clash. Bacchus Marsh’s Hamish Coulton and Jacob Wheelahan and Melton’s Lachlan Walker were named in the under-19 team which will also play a VAFA side.
