Harnessing his talent Gisborne teenager Luke Humphreys is proving to be a frontrunner in the race-calling world. He called last week at Victoria’s home of harness racing, Tabcorp Park Melton, at a race meeting which was televised on Sky Channel. The 16-year-old said he was “very, very lucky” to have been given such an opportunity. “It’s just the stuff you dream of, really,” he said. Luke got into horse racing at an early age through his father who breeds and races standardbreds. As a young boy, Luke would go along to the race course and practise calling. He landed his first break, as a grade 6 pupil, when Ballarat Turf Club asked if he would fill in for the regular night trials caller. Luke laughed when recalling his first broadcasting gigs. “I thought, ‘This will be easy’,” he said. “Of course, I was appalling at it.” The young broadcaster now aspires to calling feature races and to pursue media studies. “Calling the Melbourne Cup would be the absolute pinnacle for any Melbourne caller,” he said.

Violent crimes raise fear By Esther Lauaki Violent home invasions and robberies are on the rise in Melton, according to the latest crime statistics. Crime Statistics Victoria data released last week confirmed surges in aggravated burglaries and robberies – two categories that have caused increased concern in the community. The figures revealed a 41.7 per cent increase in robberies in the year to March 31 that took into account a hike in aggravated robbery from 46 to 64 offences, up 39.1 per cent. Burglaries in Melton were down 3.6 per cent from 1323 offences to 1276. Aggravated burglary was up 48.7 per cent, from 78 to 116.

The total number of offences recorded in Victoria rose four per cent in the past year. Aggravated burglary across Victoria jumped 28 per cent. But police believe burglaries overall are getting more violent, with about one in 12 burglaries across Melbourne involving violence. Police called a community safety forum last month in response to a spate of violent crimes in Melton, including a home invasion on May 17 in which a group of about eight men armed with metal poles broke into a Gillespie Drive house while a family slept. Four separate home invasions, all happening within days of each other, are under

investigation. Some arrests have been made. Melton Inspector Kathryn Rudkins said that the safety and security of the community were the top priority for police. She said regular intelligence-led patrols were continually being conducted to detect, deter and disrupt criminal or antisocial behaviour. Many locals, posting on the Caroline Springs Residents Page on Facebook, have been calling for state and local governments to take action on crime, saying they felt “helpless”. Police Minister Lisa Neville said the latest figures, which showed a smaller increase than in past years, indicated that the crime rate was heading in the “right direction”.

Ms Neville conceded that Victorians might struggle to believe the crime situation was improving when they were seeing reports of terrifying home invasions and armed robberies. “I thank hard-working police in Melton and across Victoria for their tireless work tackling crime and protecting our community,” she said. “While there are positive signs in the latest crime stats, we know there is more to be done. That’s why we’re putting thousands more police on our streets and giving law enforcement agencies the powers and technology they need to keep Victorians safe.” ■ Melton

Overall crime on the decline

’’

“The statistics show how hard Victoria Police is working to detect, investigate and disrupt crime, and how important the state government’s investment in turning around the six-year crime trend is.” Meanwhile, the state opposition will introduce a new offence of “ramming a police vehicle” to state Parliament this week. If approved, the offence could carry a penalty of a minimum of two years in jail and a maximum of 10 years for offenders. Police Association secretary Wayne Gatt said the law needed to change amid a spate of rammings of police vehicles. Last Thursday two police officers narrowly avoided serious injury after their van was rammed by a suspected car thief in Melton. For more information: bit.ly/2dEr6fB

Classes at Diggers Rest Primary School officially began on June 19, 1882. So there was a lot of history to go over when crowds turned out to help celebrate the school’s 135 years last week. School principal Rachelle Hedger said descendants of pioneering families in Diggers Rest, and alumni of the school, were among special guests to help mark the milestone. “The Duncans, the Watsons, the McKenzies and Andersons are key families that we have named four of a school house groups after,” Ms Hedger said. “It was very special to have them there. “We originally had a schoolhouse, in the traditional sense, that the Lions club now occupies and we moved to this site in 1989 as a

purpose-built school.” Ms Hedger said the school had experienced significant growth in recent years. “Just three years ago the school only had 65 students on its roll,” she said.“We’re experiencing huge growth because of the development of the area. We now have 180 students enrolled and expect to have in excess of 200 next year. “We like to think it’s because it’s such a wonderful school to attend.” Last week’s 135-year milestone was celebrated with cake and festivities. A gallery displaying photos and artefacts, including a school cookbook from the 1960s, was also established. Esther Lauaki

Crime in Melton has fallen for the first time in the past five years, despite recent home invasions and violent incidents. Data released by the Crime Statistics Agency last week reveals 11,704 offences were recorded in the year to March 31, down from 12,067 for the same time last year. A main driver behind the slight drop was a 27.4 per cent decrease in public order and security offences which included a fall in disorderly conduct from 289 to 139 (51 per cent). Contrary to the overall decrease in crime, there were 221 sexual offences recorded in Melton (up 25.6 per cent) and breaches of intervention orders were up 79.3 per cent from 58 to 104. Dangerous driving offences more than tripled with 57 offences, up from 17. A wave of home invasions in Melton throughout May were reflected in the latest figures that revealed a 41 per cent rise in robbery and a 48.7 per cent hike in aggravated burglary. The state government earlier this month announced that $2 billion would be spent recruiting 2729 new frontline and specialist Victorian police across the next four years. Kororoit MP Marlene Kairouz said record investment in officers, resources and technology was helping Victoria Police crackdown on crime in Melton. She said incidents of family violence were increasing by just 0.3 per cent per 100,000 people across Victoria.

Property and deception offences decreased by 5.1 per cent while theft dropped by 1.6 per cent. “The latest crime statistics show police are making more arrests and coming down hard on recidivist offenders across the west,” Ms Kairouz said. “Family violence incidents continue to be a focus for police, with rates starting to stabilise across the state after increasing significantly over the past few years.

A fresh new mural is about to be unveiled to “uplift and celebrate” the Melton community. Street artists and creative teens collaborated this month to produce a large-scale piece on the wall at the Barries Road entrance of Woodgrove Shopping Centre. Renowned artists Lucy Lucy and Slicer (pictured) worked with local kids and teenagers by hosting free workshops to teach skills in street art and help to create the mural. Lucy Lucy said working with young people in the area made the project extra special. “We loved working with local kids on this amazing community project,” she said. “It is set to really uplift the area and serve as a celebration of the local community.

“Melbourne is famous for its street art and it’s great to give the next generation of budding artists such an awesome opportunity to contribute.” Woodgrove centre manager Kylie Robertson said the mural was one that the community can be proud of. “As this mural is for the community, we wanted the community to help us create it,” Ms Robertson said. “Their fresh, uninhibited perspective combined with raw fledgling talent was what really transformed the space into something truly inspiring and meaningful.” Esther Lauaki

Stable job a winner By Esther Lauaki Jayden Barker left school at the end of year 10 and says he had no idea what he was going to do. He tried his hand at a couple of other trades, including plumbing and working as a camera man, before he found his stride in harness racing. The now 23-year-old, from Brookfield, broke through for his first win at Shepparton earlier this month, driving the David Miles-trained Twoforsixty. Barker has spent the past four years as stablehand with Miles but only recently took up driving. “It took a while to sink in that I actually won, it was a pretty good feeling and I was quite glad to get over the line in first,” Barker says. “I love driving. It’s been quite difficult. You make a few mistakes at the start but it was great to finally get the win under my belt.” Barker said when he dropped out of school his mum didn’t want him just sitting at home so asked around for any opportunities at Tabcorp Park in Melton where she worked. David Miles took Barker on. “I volunteered for a few months before he signed me on and now I’m a full-time stable hand,” Barker said. “I didn’t really like horses too much at the start but they’ve grown on me … I think they’re lovely creatures.” Baker says one of his greatest challenges on and off the track will be to gain confidence. “It’s about being confident in yourself and your ability to get around the track safely.” Dad Greg says he proud of his son’s achievements and how far he’s come. “Some days we couldn’t get Jayden to school but during the last four years of work he has not had one sick day.”

NEWS

Police gear up for arrests Police are cracking down on aggravated burglaries, carjackings, robberies and stolen vehicles in two targeted operations. Operation Regnant has deployed extra local and state police resources into overnight patrols across Melton, Wyndham and Brimbank to tackle aggravated burglaries, carjackings and related offences. Police from the north-west metro region have also been conducting Operation Wayward, which has been investigating patterns of offending and chasing up lines of inquiry – particularly for street robberies and armed robberies – across Wyndham, Brimbank, Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay. Wyndham Police Inspector Marty Allison said as part of Operation Regnant eight people had been charged with a combined 42 offences. A Victoria Police spokesman said Operation Wayward had resulted in the arrest of 38 people within the past four months. Meanwhile, two youths were arrested in relation to an alleged robbery in Mala Street, Truganina last week. Police detected the youths driving a stolen car in Tarneit on June 5. On the same day, three men allegedly threatened an attendant during an armed robbery at a Truganina service station. On Sunday, police arrested two men at the Sanctuary Lakes Shopping Centre following an alleged theft and assault. Charlene Macaulay and Alesha Capone

A different kind of bill shock By Esther Lauaki Plumpton residents say they were puzzled when they realised last week that they now live in suburbs called Fraser Rise and Bonnie Brook. Fraser Rise is one of 11 new Melton suburb names coming into effect this month following approval from the geographic names office. The southern half of Plumpton now becomes Fraser Rise and Bonnie Brook. They are bounded by the northern half of Plumpton, Hillside, Caroline Springs and another new suburb, Deanside.

One resident posted of her bemusement on the area’s neighbourhood watch Facebook page. “My fiance and I received our gas bill and we noticed that our suburb has changed from Plumpton to Fraser Rise,” she wrote. “Has anyone else come across this yet? I knew 11 new suburbs in Melton would be established following approval from the Office of Geographic Names, but there has been no notification from the council. We haven’t received anything from Melton council yet.” Another resident said she was also surprised

’’

to learn of her new suburb and postcode. “I know lots of people are starting to get bills coming with a new suburb,” she wrote. “I had a hospital appointment and they said their system wouldn’t recognise my street as being in Plumpton, only Fraser Rise. Council engagement manager Dan Hogan

said there would be a period where both suburb names would be valid as organisations, emergency services and government departments update their systems. He said affected residents would receive information packs to inform them of their change of address and provide a checklist to help with the transition from old to new. The information pack also includes details of who to advise of the address change, including insurance companies, utilities, health and medical providers and banks. Information: bit.ly/2sqKtNG

Kiddie fun gets parked Rockbank youngsters are disappointed Frontier Park has been closed for repairs, just weeks after its opening. The playground, which opened earlier this month, was closed last weekend so work on the main treehouse can take place. The impressive rainbow-coloured playground includes towers, rope bridges, a dizzy wizzy, sandpit, water play area, swings, slides, rocks and tree trunks, all appealing to young daredevils. A mini-skateboard ramp and basketball court also set kids hearts racing. One Rockbank resident told Star Weekly she had three “very disappointed kids” when they found the park closed at the weekend. “My daughter was devastated when we drove by and the park wasn’t opened,” she said. “Now we have to wait a bit longer.” Woodlea project manager Matthew Dean said that a small timber batten on the outside

of the treehouse had come loose last week and the equipment was cordoned off to ensure the safety of residents and visitors. “We are currently in the process of amending the design by installing a … liner to the inside of the structure as an additional safety measure,” he said. “A further playground audit will be undertaken and completed before the treehouse is reopened. Woodlea hopes residents and visitors continue to enjoy the parks many facilities. “We are sorry for any inconvenience caused to those who may have tried to visit the playground in the past few days.” He said the playground on the corner of Quarry Road and Woodlea Boulevard remained open for residents to enjoy in the meantime.

Melton Secondary School rugby union and league players are kicking some serious goals. Five students have qualified for the Victorian under-16 girls rugby league side, one for the national under-18 boys rugby league team and another for the under-18 boys state rugby union squad. Sports co-ordinator Gerard Darcy says the players were spotted through school competitions earlier in the year and received a “tap on the shoulder” at trials last month. “Our girls’ rugby league team is regarded as one of the strongest in the state,” Mr Darcy said. “This group of five girls has made the state finals with the Melton Secondary School team for the past three years. They won the tournament in year 7 and now they are all in

A Feast the Family will Love

year 9 … they have been very committed to training.” The Melton school’s girls rugby league team will compete at nationals in Adelaide on June 26 and 27. Mr Darcy said the school was becoming a hotbed of talent. “With the change in culture and influx of students, particularly from Pacific Island background and Sudanese who want to play rugby, we’ve changed our focus.” Paul Faoagali, in year 12, has qualified for the Victorian under-18 rugby union team while Derek Iva has made a break into the national under-18 rugby league side.

Wallet stolen

Police are appealing for public assistance in identifying a woman caught on camera leaving a store with a man’s wallet. The man left his wallet on the counter at the Bacchus Marsh Aldi supermarket after paying for his groceries. Police say camera footage shows a female was seen picking up the wallet and leaving the store.

NEWS

New headspace for Melton youth By Esther Lauaki Young people facing mental health issues will have another service to turn to next year with the announcement of a new headspace for Melton. Victorian Senator Jane Hume joined mayor Sophie Ramsey to break the good news at the Melton Youth Centre. Headspace offers early intervention services for 12 to 25 year-olds across the key areas of mental health, related physical health, social and vocational support, alcohol and drug use.

Cr Ramsey said a new headspace service in Melton would make a difference to youth mental health in the region. “We’re a fast-growing, young municipality and we know that high rates of young people in our city face a number of mental health risks,” she said. “We’ve been strongly advocating to get services just like this one in Melton and … the care that headspace provides for young people experiencing mental health issues, substance abuse, family breakdown and unemployment, is exactly what we need.”

‘‘

We have been strongly advocating to get services - Sophie Ramsey like this one

’’

North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network also welcomed the news. Network chief executive associate professor Christopher Carter said briefings with the local mental health sector and related services are the next step.

“Melton has the highest rates of psychological distress of any local government area in Victoria, with 20.7 per cent of people reporting high or very high psychological distress – nearly double the state average,” Mr Carter said. “We will be working hard to get the new centre online as soon as practicably possible so it can start supporting local young people.” The launch is set for January next year even though the location is still to be announced. It will be one of 10 new headspace services starting up throughout Australia.

Alec D’Souza has very little voice and is mostly deaf, and his wife Philomena is going blind – but they say they share their senses, just as they have done for the past six decades. The Deer Park couple celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary at the weekend, joining 80 friends and family members to commemorate their diamond celebration. The couple met in 1952 in Madras (now Chennai), India, when Alec visited the port city while he was in the Indian navy. Philomena said it was a chance meeting that brought them together. “His ship came into the harbour in 1952, and I went to a dance because I was a good rock and roll dancer,” she said. “We met there, and danced that night – it started from there. I used to live near the beach, near the dock, and Alec would come and visit me on his night’s off and we would go walking about, but not dating.

(Marco De Luca)

Couple’s joy makes sense “He was there for a month and then he went away again. I think it was two years later when he came back again. He came to my house and the romance started from there.” They were married on June 15, 1957, and after having four kids, they migrated to Australia in 1968, settling in St Albans. They moved to Deer Park in 1971 and have been there ever since. Along the way, they had a fifth child, and have since welcomed 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. What is there secret to 60 years of marriage? “We always give and take,” Philomena said. “I’m a happy-go-lucky person, and so is Alec, so we don’t take offence and we always forgive and forget. “Sixty years has felt like 60 days – it’s been lovely.” Ewen McRae

A new swim sensation

(Joe Mastroianni)

Road works ramp up

By Esther Lauaki The word around Taylors Hill’s Gilson College is that 10-year-old Alisha Walters is a legend in the pool. Earlier this year, she smashed the state record for her age group in the 50-metre butterfly at the Sport School Victoria state competition and also claimed gold in the 50-metre freestyle.

Alisha’s efforts qualified her for the Victorian squad to compete at the Pacific School Games in Adelaide in December. One of her teachers, Durdica Kukolja, says Alisha has made the school very proud. “She started competing when she was nine years old and in a year she’s competing against girls that were slightly older than her at the time,” Ms Kokolja said.

Alisha has been honing her skills in the water by undertaking early morning swims most days. “Her commitment to training is very special and she’s so humble,” Ms Kokolja said. “Alisha goes into competitions with a humble heart and wants to please everyone. “We’re very proud of her and wish her the best with her training.”

New access ramps into Bacchus Marsh from the Western Freeway are now under construction. The works are part of $15 million in upgrades to the freeway and Halletts Way to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. New east-facing freeway ramps will be constructed, allowing drivers to enter the freeway north of the Halletts Way Bridge, and exit the freeway south of the bridge. A noise wall will also be built along the edge of the southern freeway ramp and traffic lights will be installed at the intersections of the two freeway ramps and Halletts Way. Infrastructure and Transport Minister Darren Chester said the project would support traffic growth around Bacchus Marsh and commuters travelling between Melbourne and Ballarat. “The project will improve the safety for people traveling between Bacchus Marsh and Darley, and a new bridge will be constructed for pedestrians and cyclists that will sit alongside the existing bridge,” Mr Chester said. Victorian Roads and Road Safety Minister Luke Donnellan said the upgrade would provide drivers using Halletts Way with an alternative to going through Bacchus Marsh to get to the freeway. “I am proud to say that local residents, councils and businesses have contributed directly to the design of this upgrade.” Esther Lauaki

MY PLACE Margaret Behan mixes her passion for people with her love of horses. The long-time Melton resident speaks with Esther Lauaki.

I’m the co-ordinator and president of the Melton and District Riding for the Disabled. I also live in Melton. How long have you lived in the area? I’ve lived in Melton for 30 years. How did you become involved with Riding for the Disabled (RDA)? Loved horses, grew up with them in Bendigo, saw an advert for RDA volunteers in 1990 went and never stopped. My aunty did RDA when I was younger and always talked about it with me and was part of the reason for my original interest. What is most rewarding about your role? The opportunity it gave for me to be the recipient of the 2016 Melton Citizen of the Year on Australia Day and later that year to receive the Life-time Achievers Award for Disability work from DHHS. What are you passionate about? My involvement with Melton RDA and making it a worthwhile activity for both riders their families and our volunteers. How are your involved in the community?

I work in the disability field and am involved in community partnerships. I am the spokesperson for Melton RDA and love talking about it and the wonderful work our volunteers do. What’s your favourite place to spend your time in Melton? At home and socialising with friends in Melton – I love our parks and gardens. What would people be surprised to know about you? I have been married for 34 years, with two boys, both still at home. I love driving our V8 Ford. What is the best thing about the Melton community? The ability to be involved in Melton’s future through council open forums and the willingness of our diverse population to be involved in shaping that future. If you could change anything about the area, what would it be? More road infrastructure in and around Melton and more disability access to our parks and gardens. The only other change would be in the future, if we lost our country feel – that I would always want to keep, no matter how large and diverse we became.

The main bedroom is opposite and has a contemporary en suite and a good-sized walk-in wardrobe. Walk on to an office (or fifth bedroom) and to the generous open-plan kitchen and living hub. The kitchen has an island bench with cream stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances, and a free-standing oven. Plenty of timber cupboards create warm tones. A separate wing has three more fitted bedrooms. Sliding doors open to the undercover deck which overlooks the big backyard. Add a double garage and this property ensures every box is checked.

On about 512 square metres, this property represents a great opportunity for families who want some peace and quiet.

The modern kitchen has white cupboards against dark benchtops, stainless-steel appliances and the clever design has the fridge and pantry opposite each other down one end. From the family-meals zone, sliding doors open to a concreted undercover dining area with lawn to the side. A remote-controlled double garage, low maintenance outdoor spaces, ducted heating and split-system add to the appeal.

HARVEY NORMAN FURNITURE WATERGARDENS SPECIAL LIFTOUT

1. THE CASPER

2. THE HELLET

Couch time is family time

Thanks to Harvey Norman Watergardens 3. THE BOSTON

1. THE CASPER The Casper lounge suit a contemporary setting, with its nod to ‘50s modernism right on trend. But it’s also the kind of couch that invites comfy, full-length lazing while binging on DVDs. Aussie-made, it comes with five scatter cushions (ottoman separate) and a choice of fabric colours.

2. THE HELLET With generous seating, spacious chaise and built-in soft bed, the Australian-made Hellet will be a family fave. Minimalist and quite sophisticated, the durably framed Hellet can take the odd kid’s bounce and a family of four or five won’t feel squashy. A choice of colours makes décor matching easy.

3. THE BOSTON A 2.5-seater with chaise and 2-seater sofa combo, with the luxury, comfort and stylishness of leather, the Boston is an elegant duo, but with enough grunt to complement an industrial vibe. Vegemite fingers won’t harm and there’s room for the whole family to intermingle.

4. THE ALYSSA 4. THE ALYSSA

26 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 20, 2017

Echoing the timeless club lounge style, the Alyssa leather three-seater (matching two-seater and armchair also available) is classy, comfy and chic. Suiting nearly every home design, it comes in a rich choice of colours and has customised construction for increased durability.

Meet your furniture whiz Binh Nguyen

He’s been with Harvey Norman for just eight years, but Binh Nguyen, 35, has gained loads of invaluable experience in that period. Binh began his career at the Maribyrnong store before becoming 2IC at the Chadstone branch. Stints at Sydney’s Caringbah and flagship Auburn stores followed before taking ownership of Harvey Norman in Mascot. With wife and littlie in tow, Binh returned to hometown Melbourne in 2015, becoming owner of Harvey Norman Furniture at Watergardens. He’s loving being back in Melbourne and finds operating his Watergardens outlet suits him down to the ground. He particularly values the diversity of local people, from their ethnic background to their economic status.

“We’re just guides on their search for the perfect piece”

If you’re looking for a glass table to visually save space, or a bold statement piece to reflect your personal design style, here are two ideas - now in store.

“This exciting mix of customers is something I love, and it also presents challenges I enjoy. My team and I want our in-store furniture pieces to meet a wide range of tastes and budgets. Lots of thought and research goes into display selections - and always with the aim of presenting on-trend items as well as the classics. “And while we have expert advice at our fingertips, we also do a lot of listening to our customers. We’re just guides on their search for the perfect piece. And that journey is also about forming client relationships – which is pretty easy to do in such a friendly community.”

1. THE BRANDON 11 PIECE

Matching a dining setting with the scale of its room and choosing the right size for your family’s needs are considerations every bit as important as getting the style right. Getting the scale right is something the Harvey Norman crew can help with – bring in your room measurements if in doubt, is one of their tips.

1. THE BRANDON 11 PIECE A sophisticated take on the industrial style, the Brandon blends rich grainy wood, metal and designer Warwick fabric to bring uber-chic to your dining space. The 10 comfy chairs make Australian-crafted Brandon super entertainmentfriendly. And it will love concrete floors, natural or limewashed floorboards and earthy tiling.

2. CELLO The Cello 7-piece dining setting is unique and elegant in neutral hues that will beautifully match most interior colour palettes. It has a round, taupe glass top and a walnut veneer pedestal base measuring 1500mm around the top and 750mm in height. Each stylish and comfortable Cello dining chair features beige upholstery and timber legs.

SPORT Bears show their claws and claim a big scalp Burnside Heights had let victory slip away twice this season, but on Saturday it wasn’t going to let it happen a third time. Despite just one win so far in the Essendon District Football League division 2 season, the Bears have been one of the big improvers. On Saturday, they showed that teams can’t just turn up against them anymore. They were better than Roxburgh Park early and led by five goals in the first half. The Magpies, last year’s grand finalists, responded and took the lead several times in the third quarter. When they hit the front in the fourth quarter again, it looked like a case of how far for the Magpies. But the Bears weren’t to be denied and they responded with the last five goals of the game

to win 15.12 (102)-12.8 (80). For Bears coach Aidan Stott it doesn’t come much better than beating a team in contention for the finals. The club’s only other wins have come against East Sunbury and Keilor Park, when both sides have been struggling. Stott said they made mention at three-quarter time of the two previous situations, where they had lost games they should have won. “We probably should have beaten East Sunbury twice,” he said. “The first time we lost after the siren and last game we led in the final quarter. “We spoke about that at three-quarter time, about how that felt losing those games. I think

they didn’t want to feel that again. Roxburgh Park really challenged us and we responded.” The majority of the Bears side that played on Saturday was aged 22 or under. Five players were 18-year-olds. Stott said it was in the midfield where the game was set up. He said Stephen Kenrick, Marcus Giuliano and Corey Patmore were the standouts. Stott said they were starting to get a good feeling around the club with the results that the side was starting to have. “We’re working hard to build a supporter base and their support is really starting to help the boys,” he said. “The little juniors are starting to pretend they are players like Josh Covelli and Anthony

Cobras set the standard By Tara Murray Bacchus Marsh showed it is still the team to beat in Ballarat Football League, knocking off the previously undefeated Lake Wendouree on Saturday. Both teams are clearly the in-form teams of the competition and entered the weekend’s match with just one loss between them. The Cobras got the jump in the second quarter, but found themselves trailing at three-quarter time. A seven-goal last quarter turned the tables back in their favour, the Cobras sealing a 14.20 (104)-11.6 (72) win. Coach Travis Hodgson was thrilled with the result. “We had 25 more inside 50s and I think double the scoring shots,” he said. “The match definitely brought a big challenge and it’s always good to get a comprehensive win against the top side.

‘‘

We are getting better as the season goes - Travis Hodgson along

’’

“We ran out the game really well, which is pleasing as they tested us … they are fit and move the ball well. “We are getting better as the season goes along. Anyone who watched us on Saturday, would say that we’re the real deal.” The win came without Daniel Burton and Jackson Bolton, who were the Cobras’ best two players in last year’s grand final win. Both are expected to return next week. Dean Heta stood up in the ruck in the absence of Burton. Hodgson wasn’t surprised by his performance. “The midfield dominated on the back of his work,” he said. “He’s played a lot of ruck in the past, but he’s been playing more centre half-back for us. The challenge has been for us when Dean and Daniel aren’t playing ruck is getting impact from them going forward. “Dean went forward and kicked three goals and had an impact on Saturday. “It means we can rotate them forward instead of rotating them back.” Declan Phyland kicked four goals for the Cobras and was named best on field. The Cobras next three games are against sides which are in the bottom four. The Cobras sit second on the ladder after seven matches. Darley, which had the bye, and Lake Wendouree are all on the same number of points. “They are all winnable games and if we win them it puts us in a better position than we were at the same time last year,” Hodgson said. 44 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 20, 2017

Melton made it two wins in a row, with victory against North Ballarat City. The Bloods trailed at all three changes, but kicked the only two goals of the final quarter to win 10.8 (68)-8.15 (63). Braedan Kight kicked five goals in the win. Melton moves to seventh, just one game

behind sixth-placed Melton South. The tough run continued for Melton South which lost to Redan 17.15 (117) - 10.7 (67). Jon Kent, who transferred across during the week from Riddell District Football League side Lancefield, kicked six goals on debut for the Panthers.

Fawcus at half-time of games. Along with the others we are really starting to build a positive unit. If the group sticks together there’s a bright future. “We’re improving week by week.” The Bears will take confidence into their game against ladder leaders Coburg Districts on Saturday. Last time the two teams met, the Bears took it up to the Lions for three quarters. In division 1, Hillside won a thriller against Airport West. The Sharks came back from 22 points down at half-time to win, 14.17 (101)-15.10 (100). Brandon Coletta kicked five goals in the win. Tara Murray

Hillside in twin promotion bid The Spring Hills top sides have their eyes set firmly on promotion in FFV state league, with both the men and women on track. The men are competing in FFV state league 5 west after being relegated last season. After starting the season 1-1-1, the Stallions have won their next nine games and are on top of the ladder. On Saturday, they defeated Kyneton District 6-2. Stallions coaching director Tom Markovski said that after the disappointment of last year, they had decided on a new approach and brought in National Premier League coach David Maglovski as coach. “We decided to have a fresh start,” Markovski said. “We got a younger group of players, but decided we would still be looking at promotion. “We wanted to be in a strong position for next season. We were expecting to be in the top three at the halfway mark and we’ve achieved that.” Markovski said despite having a young group of players, they had gelled together well. Many have come through the club’s under-18 and under-20 sides. He said making it attractive for those players to stay at the club instead of going elsewhere was a big focus for the club. He said they would get a clearer indication in the next couple of weeks of where they sit as they start playing return fixtures against other teams towards the top of the table. Meanwhile, the women’s side is looking for a second straight promotion. Playing in state league 3 west, the Stallions are third on the ladder after eight rounds – four points off top and two points off second. On Saturday, they defeated St Albans Saints 5-0. “I believe our female set-up is second to none,” Markovski said. “We want to push towards NPL and think we have the facilities to do that. We’ve got the juniors coming through, as well. We’ve got two under-16 girls teams and two under-14 girls teams.” Meanwhile, in men’s state league 4 west, Melton Phoenix continues to struggle. With just a single win this season so far, the Phoenix are looking at relegation. On Saturday, they lost 2-0 to Sebastopol Vikings. Tara Murray

STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Rams in A-game victory By Tara Murray Rockbank has broken through for its first win since returning to Riddell District Netball League A grade. Rams didn’t field a team last season and have so far struggled to put it all together this season. But on Saturday that all changed when they faced Woodend-Hesket, one of two other teams without a win. Rams coach Lizzy Masterson was confident heading into the match. Having coached most of the players elsewhere, she knew they could play a lot better than they have been. The Rams started well and held an eight-goal lead by half-time in a low-scoring game. The Hawks reduced the margin in the third quarter, but the Rams finished stronger for a 37-28 win. Masterson was thrilled to see her side put together what she described as their best performance of the season. “We have struggled this season,” she said. “We know what we can do, but haven’t been able to put it together. “We tried a few things in the third quarter when we were in front, so we could have won by a lot more.” Rianne Vining scored 18 goals, while Jessica Herron, who came on in the second half, shot 16. All goalers on the court shot below 70 per cent accuracy. Masterson said the key for the side going forward would be playing consistent netball for four quarters, not in bits and pieces. She believes the Rams have found their best combinations after trying a few different players earlier in the season. She said Marie Bolitho, Jacinta Fuzy and Katherine Tsardakis were starting to make the mid-court their own. Vining is starting to find the form that saw her finish fourth in the Geelong and District Football League best and fairest last season. The Rams are eighth on the ladder, three games behind Diggers Rest. Masterson hasn’t given up on playing finals. “This season was about making finals, so finishing top six would be great,” she said. The Rams’ B-grade side also got its first win of the season at the weekend, defeating the Hawks 31-22. In other matches, it was a tough weekend for Diggers Rest and Melton Centrals. Facing Lancefield for a second straight round, due to Broadford not having a team, the result was equally unhappy for Diggers Rest. The Burras trailed by eight goals at quarter-time and 15 goals at half-time. While they limited the damage in the second half, they lost 63-49. Amy Carroll shot 27 goals for the Burras in their third straight loss. Melton Centrals stayed within striking distance against Rupertswood, but couldn’t get close enough, losing 40-32. Captain Jessica May was best for Centrals. The win moves Rupertswood above Centrals on the ladder.

The wins keep coming for Caroline Springs in Hockey Victoria’s winter competition. The women’s pennant F-grade team defeated Camberwell 2-0 with Brittany Webb scoring twice. In women’s metro B west, Caroline Springs defeated Brunswick 4-0, with Jessica Spence scoring a hat trick. The men’s side lost 3-0 to RMIT while both the club’s under-10 teams won.

Big V

It was another tough day for Melton Thoroughbreds in Big V men’s division 1. The Thoroughbreds, who have won just one game this season, were on the back foot after a poor second quarter against Chelsea Seagulls. The Thoroughbreds never recovered losing 85-60. Ivan Harris top scored with 20 points.

Ballarat NL

A late Bacchus Marsh fightback fell short against Lake Wendouree in the Ballarat Netball League. The Cobras trailed at every break and despite scoring 17-13 goals in the last quarter, lost 50-46. Melton lost to North Ballarat City 64-21, while Melton South lost to Redan 50-46.

Caroline Springs remains without a win in Western Region Football League division 1. The Lakers were in the game against Spotswood for three quarters but couldn’t maintain it for the whole game, losing 20.15 (135)-9.8 (62). Brian Lake was best for the Lakers kicking four goals in his return from injury.

Rugby Union

Melton returned to the winners’ list with a 25-22 win against Eltham on Saturday. The Warriors trailed 17-10 at half-time before a big second half to record their fourth win of the season. The Warriors sit fourth on the ladder with a 4-4 record.

Caroline Springs Tristan Xerri was named one of Vic Metro’s best in its opening match of the NAB AFL under-18 championships on Sunday. After an even first quarter against Western Australia, Metro started to exert dominance but just couldn’t put it on the scoreboard with inaccurate kicking. They put the game away in the second half, winning 14.12 (96)-9.4 (58).

Centrals lose four in a row, but bank on a young future Melton Centrals’ tough period continues in the Riddell District Football League, with a big loss to Rupertswood on Saturday. Centrals were competitive around the contest for much of the game, but couldn’t add scoreboard pressure to keep Rupertswood accountable. The young Centrals side fell away in the second half, losing 16.20 (116)-4.3 (27). The loss is Centrals fourth in a row, against sides which are all in the top six. Centrals’ coach Mathew Sproule said they always knew where they sat this season. “We knew we would have a tough five week period,” he said. “We were 3-1 to start the season, but we had a favourable draw and made the most of it.

“For us it’s about being competitive around the footy and good in the contest and we’re doing that in patches. “We’ve had a stack load of injuries as well in the last three weeks, but that’s no excuse.” He said against Sunbury Kangaroos, Rupertswood and Wallan they had been in the contest around the ground, while not necessarily on the scoreboard. Sproule said Centrals focus continues to be on the future. They’ve blooded two under-16s, Jarrod Spry and Lachlan Phillips, in recent weeks and both were among the side’s best in their loss to Diggers Rest last month. They’ve also had four under-18 players playing in the senior team. He said they would all continue to get opportunities this season.

“We’re trying to get as many games into them as possible,” he said. “Our juniors haven’t really been there the last few years and we want to go back to the club being built on juniors and not recruiting players. “They’ve been really competitive at times. “We’ll keep bringing in the kids who will be our nucleus in three to four years.” Sproule said they would continue to work on the key elements which will benefit them long term. “For three quarters we’re playing well in games and you can’t knock the effort,” he said. “We’ve got to improve our ball use as we turn it over a lot. It’s something we’re in the process of doing.

Centrals’ task doesn’t get any easier, with a match up against the undefeated Macedon side this week. In other matches, Diggers Rest had no issues against Broadford. The Burras restricted Broadford to just one goal for the first three quarters and two for the game, meanwhile having 51 scoring shots of their own. The Burras won 29.22 (196)-2.2 (14). Rockbank was left to rue a poor fourth quarter against Woodend-Hesket. The Rams led by 18 points at three-quarter time, but the Hawks kicked eight goals to one in the final quarter to win 13.15 (93)-9.12 (66).

MW has struck back. Mercedes-Benz raised the bar in the large luxury car segment with its techno-laden E-Class in 2016. Now the brand from Bavaria has returned fire with its own high-tech, luxury executive sedan, the new generation 5-Series. It takes many cues from its larger counterpart, the 7-Series, stylistically as well as in technology, including remote parking via the key fob, head-up display, wireless phone charging, surround-view camera, and the Driving Assistant Plus suite, Comfort Access. The chassis and body are also all new, with a greater use of lightweight materials including aluminium, magnesium and high-strength steel bringing the final weight down by 95kg. The interior has an angular look and new high-quality finishes, including aluminium and timber trims. Standard inclusions encompass dual-zone climate control, leather seats, artificial leather on dash and door uppers, infotainment with touch and iDrive controls, satellite navigation, and a larger head-up display. Interior finishes are spot-on, with tightly fitted panel gaps, consistent button feel, and a fine balance of timber and metal decor, and a range of handsome colour combinations available. The wheelbase has grown slightly, which equates to extra rear legroom. There is also plenty of head clearance to ease getting in and out. Boot space grows slightly to 530 litres, and in-cabin storage is well served with wide door pockets, covered front cupholders and the wireless charge-padâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storage tray. In this latest generation, BMW hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t backed down from its dynamic roots, and the range still delivers an engaging experience forÂ drivers. The 5-Series range offers the diesel

520d and 530d, and petrol 530i and 540i. The four-cylinder petrol 530i is tipped to be the most popular, and after time behind the wheel it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard to see why. The engine is whisper quiet and BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight-speed auto is calibrated seamlessly. The 2-litre four-cylinder 520d also performs more

harmoniously than might be expected of an entry-level engine. Six airbags (dual front, front seat side, full-length curtain), ABS brakes, traction and stability control, pre-collision preparation, and autonomous emergency braking are fitted as standard.

At its core, the 5-Series still does luxury well. It is quiet and comfortable, capable of travelling big distances with ease and in the 540i is powerful enough to assert genuine authority. All in all, the range maintains a focus on dynamic capabilities and balances plushness and contemporary luxe well.
