Health club under threat By Esther Lauaki

Standing tall for all girls

(Marco De Luca)

Dozens of gym-goers could be left in the lurch with the future of the Bacchus Marsh health club uncertain. Moorabool council took over control of the Bacchus Marsh Leisure Centre, including the gym, last Friday, ending a decade of management by Belgravia Leisure. Councillors agreed earlier this year to operate the facilities in-house, with the hope of saving council about $200,000 a year. However, councillors were told last week that gym equipment and instructors had not been secured and the gym would be closed until August. There are fears the two month closure will be the death knell for the gym, with members going elsewhere. East ward councillor Jarrod Bingham led the bid to save the gym earlier this year, saying the it was vital to some members of the community. “This health club is servicing the elderly and those with disabilities,” Cr Bingham said at the time. “If this health club were to close then these people would not be able to go anywhere within our shire.” In a split decision, councillors resolved at last month’s meeting to keep the gym open and lease the existing equipment at a cost of about $11,000 for the next year, and to run a limited group-fitness timetable. However, Cr Bingham told Star Weekly last week he fears “this gym is now dead”. “In four weeks the equipment has not been secured, instructors have not been sourced nor have the direct-debit and computer systems been organised,” he said. “We have been notified that these won’t be completed until August at the very least. “This is a poor business plan and will not succeed; if we don’t open for a couple of months everybody would have left – this gym is now dead.” In March, the council put operation of the gym out for tender and received no interest. “The suitability or fit-for-purpose of the current facility has been questioned,” a council report tabled at the council’s last meeting stated. “Ageing and run-down facilities do not attract and encourage participation. This has led to the program being financially unsustainable as council is unable to continue subsidising the cost for such few participants. “It is clear … that there is no interest from the commercial sector in operating the health and fitness facilities at the centre.” Basketball competitions at the leisure centre will not be affected.

Sunshine North beauty Adeng Muor is tall and lean and cuts a fine figure in her evening gown. The 19-year-old law and human rights student will be donning a similar outfit when she takes to the stage on Friday night at the 10th annual Miss South Sudan beauty pageant. The former Kurunjang Secondary College student will also be required to perform a traditional dance and answer questions from the judging panel in her quest to be crowned Miss South Sudan Australia 2017. The aspiring model hopes her entry will inspire other young woman to “step outside their comfort zone”. “I thought it would be an amazing experience, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show young girls to aim high and not to let anyone put you down,” she said.

Expenses scandal moves to ‘investigation stage’ Police are investigating the use of taxpayers’ money by the Victorian Parliament’s former speaker and his deputy after they made questionable expenses claims for living at their seaside residences. Victoria Police have confirmed that matters relating to Telmo Languiller and Don Nardella had been assessed and had progressed to the “investigation stage” after they were referred in March. “As the investigations are ongoing we will not be commenting further,” a police statement declared. In February, The Age revealed that both men were claiming a lucrative second residence allowance designed for country MPs, by

moving their registered homes away from the western suburbs electorates they represent to Ocean Grove and Queenscliff. Mr Nardella claimed a total of $98,000 after claiming he had moved to Ocean Grove, which is more than 80 kilometres from his Melton electorate. Mr Languiller, who claimed more than $37,800 in his second residence allowance for living in Queenscliff, agreed to repay the money immediately after it was revealed he had made the claims. A report on the expenses scandal by auditors PwC was tabled in state Parliament in March. The report confirmed Mr Languiller had

intended to move his home base to Queenscliff but, due to family circumstances, he spent little time there. The report suggested that when Mr Nardella left his Ballarat home after the breakdown of his relationship in 2014 he should have taken the “simpler option” to live in a St Kilda property he owned or in Melton. The report showed Mr Nardella made an arrangement with a family member to pay $200 a fortnight for the caravan so that he could maintain his second residence allowance. The only evidence Mr Nardella submitted to prove Ocean Grove was his home was a driver’s licence, vehicle registration, electoral enrolment and receipts for capital improvements.

Mr Nardella initially refused to repay the money, but agreed to repay $98,000 at the end of April, after he had been expelled from the parliamentary Labor Party. Mr Nardella now sits on the crossbench while Mr Languiller recently returned to Parliament after taking extended leave. He now sits on the backbench. A government spokeswoman said: “This is a matter for Victoria Police and it would not be appropriate to comment.” Fairfax Media sought comment from Mr Languiller and Mr Nardella but both MPs declined to comment.

Moorabool council and the state government are getting fired up about people who chop down trees on public land in a bid to get warm this winter. The council has received several calls about unpermitted roadside collection and reports of illegal tree cutting in recent weeks. “Council does not permit the collection of firewood from roadsides or reserves,” a council spokesman said. Designated firewood collection areas in Moorabool include Blackwood, Dales Creek, Buninyong, Mt Doran and Creswick. The autumn firewood collection period ended last Friday and Forest Fire Management Victoria’s regional manager Shaun Lawlor reminded residents that the next period starts on September 1. He also warned that illegal firewood collection carries hefty fines. “Firewood collectors are reminded that it is illegal to sell firewood collected on public land without an appropriate permit or licence or to take more than the allowed amount,” Mr Lawlor said. “Officers patrol forests and take a zero-tolerance approach to those who are violating firewood collection laws.” People who collect firewood outside designated firewood collection areas, out of season, take more than the maximum allowable amounts or those who sell firewood they have collected, face on-the-spot fines of $607. The maximum penalty in court is one year imprisonment or a $7583.50 fine. Any information about the illegal removal of firewood can be reported to DELWP on 136 186 quoting Operation Block Splitter.

Anna Munro describes herself as the “average” resident – even though she doesn’t quite tick all the boxes of a Meltonian as revealed in the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ latest census data. At 36, she tops the average Melton age of 33 and she was born in Poland, not Australia. But Ms Munro mostly fits the bill as a married mother of two and home owner whose parents were born overseas. She has Eastern European ancestry, while the average Meltonian is Australian-born, but Ms Munro said she counted herself as one of the locals. “We migrated to Australia when I was nine,” she said. “I’ve been here most of my life and I call myself an Australian. It’s nice to have background, though.” She moved to the area in 2007 with her husband, Cameron, to bring up their family in the newly developed Taylors Hill. “Being able to utilise the space and facilities, especially with a young family, is the best thing about living in Melton city because the kids always want to be out and about,” Ms Munro said. While the census was plagued with technical problems in its execution, the ABS remains confident the results are an accurate reflection of modern Australian life. The figures also reflect the diversity for which Melton is known. The number of Australian-born, English-speaking residents in the municipality sits at about 63 per cent, down four per cent from the 2011 census. A majority of other residents have English, Maltese, Italian or Irish roots, with the popular languages including Vietnamese, Punjabi, Maltese, Arabic and Macedonian. About 33 per cent of residents are Catholic, down from 37 per cent in 2011, with the number of non-religious people up from 17 to 22 per cent.

The call has sounded for volunteers in preparation for the popular Toolern Creek Platypus Festival. Event organiser Lyn Holdsworth founded Friends of the Toolern Creek and enlisted the help of others to start tackling the “wasteland” nine years ago. At the time the creek, which runs near the Western Freeway, was overgrown with weeds and rubbish lined the creek bed. It has since been completely transformed, with indigenous grass and shrubs planted along its banks and a wildlife corridor developed. “We planted 23,000 plants there last year,” Ms Holdsworth said. “The more people we have, the more we can get done … there’s always work to be done.”

Ms Holdsworth said that when Federation University students spotted platypuses in the creek a few years ago, the Platypus Festival was born. “It’s a day for local groups to come along so they can show what they’re doing for Melton,” she said. “We’re so lucky to have such magnificent waterways in one small town. Other places – Essendon, South Yarra – don’t have waterways like we do in Melton.” The Platypus Festival will run from noon-4pm, on Saturday, October 7, at the corner of Tamar Drive and Raymond Street, at Melton South.

Young Chloe, pictured, sized up a 2.5-metre tall woolly mammoth, a sabre tooth tiger, and a glyptodon at the centre of the holiday attractions at Woodgrove Shopping Centre. This animatronics display of life-like prehistoric, ice-age animals will run until July 16. Youngsters can also pay a visit to the virtual reality station to play the new Snow Slingers game with their mates. Players can share their virtual reality experiences with their friends on the big screen. The gaming station runs from 10am and 2pm daily until July 14.

Parents and teachers fear parking problems at Gordon Primary School could result in disaster if they don’t receive funding for upgrades. However there seems to be no solution on the horizon after the school was snubbed in Moorabool council’s latest budget allocation. The small rural school’s roll is estimated to increase to 130 pupils next year and principal Russel Cowan said that peak hour parking is already at capacity. “We are a growing school … and every year the issue continues to get worse,” Mr Cowan said in a submission to council. “Child safety is of the highest importance and the community would expect Moorabool council to budget responsibly to account for this.” He said that an additional 20 families have enrolled children within the past year, making drop-off and pick-up times even more hectic. Mr Cowan said that parents currently need to park in no-parking zones because there is not enough parking on Dicker Street. “There are not enough spaces to meet the demand at our beautiful school,” he said. “It is a matter of when, not if, a severe accident takes place.” Moorabool infrastructure manager Phil Jeffrey said upgrades to Dicker Street and parking in front of the school were included in the council’s long-term capital program. In the meantime, 40km/h signs have been promised. A school crossing was built about seven years ago but no funding is available for a supervisor. “Council would not fund anything within the school grounds however if state funds could be obtained, perhaps a joint project could be investigated,” Mr Jeffrey said. “It is considered that there is merit for the project in future years given the growth in Gordon and the school.”

The Staughton College student joined the Shave for a Cure last week – part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s annual appeal. Her Melton schoolmates showed their support by dyeing their hair for a crazy hair day last Wednesday and donating gold coins. Lauren said that some of her nearest and dearest have been affected by leukaemia and she hoped that shaving her hair would raise awareness and money for cancer research. She aimed to raise $560 for the foundation, which helps support patients and their family members when battling the blood cancer. That

It was a busy and exciting time at Djerriwarrh Health Services recently with five bundles of joy brought into the world within 24 hours. Christine Clark, from Darley, gave birth to baby Maverick on June 15, weighing 3.7 kilograms. She was one of five new mums to give birth to

bubs at the Bacchus Marsh hospital on June 15 between 6pm and 9am. “It was very overwhelming at first, being a new mum,” Ms Clark said. “Once we finally got home and were in our own surroundings, I started to settle into it.” Ms Clark said she and partner Jesse were thrilled to meet their new arrival after a lengthy labour.

Bacchus Marsh residents now have some clarity on what the Halletts Way upgrade will involve, after viewing plans and artist’s impressions of the project at an information session last week. New access ramps heading into Bacchus Marsh from the Western Freeway are under construction. The works are part of a $15-million upgrade to the freeway and Halletts Way that aims to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion, supporting the growth and development of the area. Project director Nigel Powers said the information session allowed people to see what the final result would look like. “After speaking with the community last year we made some changes to our design and we want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to see the plans before we start,” Mr Powers said. “From community feedback, we’ll be installing a noise wall on the southern side of the freeway exit ramp, traffic lights at the intersection of each ramp at Halletts Way, and some architectural panelling on the shared-user bridge.” The new shared-user bridge over the freeway will improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Mr Powers said the community can expect some construction impacts. “The first stage, between now and September, will be … construction of the new bridge on the western side of the Halletts Way overpass,” he said.

MY PLACE Catherine Shelley uses ‘horse power’ to bring people together and teach the value of discipline, knowledge, theory and practice. She spoke to Esther Lauaki. What’s your connection with Melton?

programs for older people like myself. Having so many falls in the horse industry, I have spent a lot of time in the hydrotherapy pool there, and the trained staff are brilliant and willing to help.

My association with Melton and the townspeople began 25 or more years ago following the purchase of Warranooke Farm at Toolern Vale and starting The Melton Equestrian Academy.

What are you passionate about?

How long have you lived in the area?

Providing opportunities for people that might not otherwise have them. That includes children, the elderly, people with disabilities.

More than 25 years. Tell me about your background.

What would people be surprised to know about you?

Basically, I have always been interested – indeed, passionate – about horses. I spent a few years riding thoroughbreds as a track jockey and rode many horses that were, or became, champion race horses. I also worked as a hairdresser, which broadened my horizon.

I founded the centre in 1989. The academy is a learning establishment for young boys and girls, through to mid to late teens, to learn to ride a horse correctly so the student can eventually enter competitions: showing, cross country and dressage. Horse management is equally as important as learning to ride correctly in all disciplines, as one can’t do without the knowledge, theory and practice of looking after a horse properly. It was always a dream of mine to have an equestrian centre for young children to be involved with horses without the overhead costs of owning a horse.

How did you become involved with the equestrian academy?

I’m a celebrant. Being a celebrant has humbled me. You see all the weddings, and they are beautiful, but it’s the funerals that really move me. You only have to sit and listen to a family who have lost a loved one to realise how lucky you really are. I also hate heights, even though I ride big, tall horses and travel around. I don’t like heights. What is the best thing about Melton?

It’s the growing community. The number of young families are helping to grow our small township and the diverse cultures in Melton are the best.

For sale by set date, this enormous chalet-style features hardwood throughout, creating striking spaces such as double-height ceilings in the kitchen/meals area, cathedral-style ceilings in the living room and over-height vaulted ceilings upstairs. Quality hardwood wall panelling is used as an architectural feature – as seen in the stairwell, to the side of the staircase and in the living room. Enter to a tiled hall with the first of three separate living zones to the right. The tiled kitchen-meals area has stone benchtops, gas cooktop and stainless-steel appliances. The main bedroom with en suite and second bedroom are downstairs. Upstairs are three fitted bedrooms and main bathroom with spa. There is a large multi-purpose room up here with opening to a semi-enclosed balcony.

On face value, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom residence is smart, neat and complete. Venture outdoors and you find the hero of the property – an undercover decked entertainer’s paradise with beautiful oriental-style landscaping and a weather sail. It is genuinely welcoming and sets a relaxed atmosphere. Beyond, a self-contained bungalow with separate bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom is perfect for the artist to work, or for the family to stay. The main house has two fitted bedrooms, both with carpeting and fans. The main bathroom has feature floorboards and a double-length, frameless shower. The kitchen-meals area looks smart with cream coloured cabinetry – a nice contrast to the floorboards. The cosy carpeted living area has a gas heater, fan-light and professionally fitted drapes, as well as a sliding door that leads to the back deck.

Auction: July 8 at 1pm

On about 594 square metres, this property will interest young families, downsizers and investors alike. Nicely renovated and located close to the town centre, the house has high-gloss floating floorboards throughout the common spaces, and three carpeted bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. The modern kitchen looks smart, with an extra-wide stainless-steel oven, black stone benchtops and white cabinetry. The backyard has plenty of space for new owners to get creative and still leave room for the kids and pets to play. A tandem carport and a tandem garage beyond it, as well as extensive shedding in the backyard, provides plenty of storage. Parks, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools are only a block away and public transport is even closer.

On a block of about 612 square metres, a stroll from community life and great local shops, and across the street from the local park, this house presents an opportunity difficult to overlook. With original features and flooded with charm, restore and recreate this once picturesque cottage-style property or perhaps demolish and build your dream house (STCA). The property as stands comprises of three bedrooms, lounge room, large open kitchen and meals area, bathroom, laundry and powder room. The house has a split-system, a shed on title big enough to garage two cars and a generous backyard. With just a little imagination and elbow grease, this property can be anything you want to make it.

Price: $679,000 – $719,000

With the latest land release selling in the twinkling of an eye, Eynesbury is going gangbusters – understandably, since the quiet village is such a great place to raise a young family or to enjoy peace in retirement. This house, on 575 square metres on the edge of the grey-box forest, is a mighty fine place to do either. Flawlessly presented and tastefully decorated, the house has top-notch laminate floorboards flowing throughout, emphasising the sense – and actuality – of spaciousness and harmony. Snazzy roller blinds on all windows, light-coloured walls

and the softest olive tones on highlight walls deliver an on-point stylish look. Living areas include an open lounge room beyond the front door; an expansive tri-zone living hub with large windows framing lovely garden views; and upstairs sitting and theatre spaces, the latter with access to a balcony – from which the soon-expected new primary school will be seen. The shmick kitchen has a large Caesarstone island bench, window splashback, an abundance of storage in pale grey and chocolate tones, a great preparation nook, a European 900mm

cooker and a Miele dishwasher. Opposite the laundry (with Caesarstone bench and chocolate-coloured cabinetry) and a powder room along the entry hall, the main bedroom has a concealed walk-in wardrobe and an open en suite with dual basins set in Caesarstone, plus an enclosed toilet. Tasmanian oak stairs lead to four more big bedrooms – each with walk-in wardrobe – a walk-in closet, a powder room and sleek main bathroom. The spaces here are huge, and ducted cooling takes care of summer heat. (Ducted heating is throughout.)

The covered alfresco off the living hub is beautifully executed, with exposed aggregate underfoot and one wall of multi-paned glass positioned to provide wind/rain shelter, as well as a series of raised garden beds. Out back and along one side, lilly pilly hedging conceals fences, the lawn is manicured and fruit trees and vegie gardens mingle with great landscaping. There’s also a garden shed.

SPORT Bear hits new heights

Two deliver goal bounty for Mustangs

By Tara Murray At the start of last season, Josh Covelli was playing reserves for Moonee Valley in Essendon District Football League division 2. Once he got his chance in the seniors, he found his groove in front of goal. But he made the surprise decision to move to a struggling Burnside Heights unit in the off season. The move has seen his game go to another level – he has kicked 54 goals, and is only behind former AFL player Cameron Cloke. That tally places him among the top goalkickers in senior competitions in metro Melbourne this year. Covelli has backed his belief he could compete at a senior level, so the rise of the former backman isn’t a complete surprise. “I played full-back until under-16s,” he said. “I started playing forward with school footy. “Last season I started playing well in the reserves and I got given a good opportunity from the coaches to play senior football.” The decision to move to the Bears was surprising, but not one he regrets. “Where I was working, I got talking to the postman who would come in,” he said. “We started to get along really well. He’s the father of a player at Burnside and he told me things were looking up at the club. “I came down to the club to have a look and fell in love with the place. I’d played most of my juniors at Moonee Valley … it’s always good to have a new challenge. “I’ve fallen in love with the club and can’t see myself going elsewhere.” The move to the Bears has meant a couple of different challenges for Covelli. He’s the face of a club that is on the rise and he’s taken on more of a leadership role as the players develop. “I’d never been in the leadership group,” he said. “I used to always rock up just before the game and leave straight after and not take any responsibility. It’s good to have that extra responsibility and help the younger players.” The Bears have already won two more games than they did last season and Covelli is excited by what they can do in the future. “I get the easy job finishing off all the hard work done by the others,” he said. “I don’t kick goals if the others don’t get the ball down to me. The coach [Aidan Stott] has got the forward line working really well. “The president has put together a really good group.”

A stunning six-goal haul from Stephen Lawrence guided Melton to an important win over Collegians in Vic League 3 men’s hockey at the weekend. With three clear standout teams breaking away from the pack, Melton and Collegians were the two sides best placed to claim the final spot in the top four heading into the second half of the season. Melton was clinging to fourth by a single point, but a complete game from the Mustangs delivered them a 9-0 win and some breathing space on the ladder. Four goals in the first half broke the game open, and five more in the second finished the job, with just two Mustangs doing the scoring. Lawrence was the standout, with his six goals shooting him to the top of the league goal standings. He has 14 from just seven games and the best strike rate in the competition. He got good support from Lachlan Vallance, who bagged his second straight hat-trick to push the Mustangs’ goal difference back into the positives. They will face a stern test this week when they host Greater Dandenong, which is one spot higher than Melton on the ladder but 10 points clear and fighting for the double chance with Croydon Ranges and ECHO. In good news for the depth at Melton, the men’s reserves grabbed a 4-0 win to jump back in to the top four. In women’s Vic League 2, it was a less enjoyable day for Melton, the side slumping to a 12-0 loss to MHSOB to remain rooted to the bottom of the ladder. The women’s reserves also endured a torrid afternoon, giving up 13 goals in their loss. Ewen McRae Josh Covelli is one of the leading goalkickers in metro Melbourne. (Damian Visentini)

Melton Phoenix may be down but they’re not out Looking on results alone, you’d be quick to say that Melton Phoenix’s season so far has been a failure in Football Federation Victoria’s state league 4 west. Having just one win and two draws to show from 14 games, the Phoenix have been cemented to the bottom of the table. While Phoenix coach Richard Antczak admits it’s been tough, he said there have been plenty of positives. “We’ve been competitive in every match but one,” he said. “On the training track the boys have been awesome. The games just haven’t gone our way and I think it’s a maturity thing. I’m super proud of the boys. “Unfortunately the scoreboard doesn’t show how hard we’re working.” Antczak said this year the club was fielding a younger and less-experienced team than in past years, with the departure of several players during the off season. He said while there would be pain in the short term, long term they would have a strong team. “We’ve got a couple of 16-year-olds and 40 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 4, 2017

the main age group of the playing group is between 20-23. This side in a couple of years will be a top-two side. “We’re probably missing three players from having a really great squad. Those three players are the x-factor who can put the ball in the net.” He said Scott Boyd and Liam McGuinness had been two of the young players to really stand out, while goalkeeper Jason Hill had prevented some scorelines from blowing out to big margins. Antczak, who took on the coaching role late in the preseason after the club parted ways with Ozzy Inal, said it had been harder than he had expected. Antczak has been involved in the club for about 20 years as a player. Despite the situation the Phoenix find themselves in, Antczak said they hadn’t given up hope of avoiding relegation. “I’m pretty confident that we can avoid going down,” he said. “Every week we keep learning and growing.

I don’t think we are that far away from having a few wins. “You have to make your own luck and I’ve instilled that in the playing group. “We’ve got some strategies in place and hope they play out how we would like.” On Saturday, Phoenix went down to Point Cook, 2-0, conceding a goal in each half to fall to their 11th loss of the season. In state league 5 west, Spring Hills were held to a 1-1 draw against Deakin Ducks, with Blake Dantino’s second-half goal salvaging a draw for the second-placed side. Tara Murray

Cobras a good fit in Goldfields competition The Bacchus Marsh players went in to their first bye of the AFL Goldfields Women’s division 2 season feeling good about their immediate and long-term prospects. In the first year of the revamped state competition, with the Cobras playing different sides to previous years, they sit inside the top four and are setting themselves for finals. Cobras coach Hayley Gossow said the new competition presented both challenges and opportunities. “It’s been a bit different this year, playing all new teams, so each game you go into you don’t know what to expect,” Gossow said. “That was a bit interesting for both players and coaches, but it seems to have settled down now and we’re not too far away from where we’d like to be. “We’re still in a five-team competition and the top four play finals, so that hasn’t changed … we’re in with a good chance of finals.” With two wins from six games, Bacchus

Marsh has been inconsistent, but Gossow said that was to be expected after welcoming so many new players this year, some of whom had never played before. “Our number one ruckman [Elise Korteman] is brand new to the sport, and she’s made the initial squad for the Goldfields inter-league, so that’s a big positive,” Gossow said. “Zhoe Clarke is also training with that squad and all the new girls have really impressed after only playing a little bit of school footy. “Seeing the girls who haven’t played before and watching them perform so well has been great. “A lot of this team has been together for three years, so they [the new players] had to make up some ground, which they have done. “This group can go as far as they want. They’ve got the skills and the determination to beat any side – we just need to string four quarters together every week.” The Cobras boast the competition’s leading

goal scorer in Madalyn Clarke, with her 13 majors three clear of the next best in the competition. On the back of a hugely successful inaugural AFL Women’s season, Gossow said there was no better time to be involved in women’s football. “We’re not seeing much of a difference in crowd numbers or playing standards just yet, but there’s definitely interest for girls coming into the sport,” she said. “Our youth girls have grown hugely. We started with two or three under-13 girls and now we’ve got 20-odd which is just incredible. “Having the pathway from juniors all the way through to seniors will only make the club stronger.” Ewen McRae Bacchus Marsh’s Madalyn Clarke has stood tall up forward this season.

Lakers lap up first win By Lance Jenkinson For some, they were just four premiership points – but for Caroline Springs, they meant so much more. The Lakers secured their elusive first win in Western Region Football League division 1 on Saturday, bossing around Wyndhamvale by 45 points at Town Centre Oval. Lakers coach Marc Raak hailed it as a landmark day for his club. “It’s a great day for our club, a history-making one to win our first game in division 1,” Raak said. “It was a special feeling in our rooms. We had a lot of supporters and reserves players in there – it was a really good half an hour after the game.” Caroline Springs fans had waited patiently for this moment. The Lakers started life in the top flight with 10 consecutive losses and a change of coach. They had been slowly building, competitive in many games without getting the desired outcome. Even though results were not favourable, Raak was content that most internal standards were being met and that it would only be a matter of time before the Lakers would break through for a win. “We judged ourselves internally on a few things, not externally, what was in the media,” Raak said. “We were playing really good football for probably three quarters and always a quarter would let us down. We wanted a four-quarter effort today and we got that.” This was a victory that was driven by youth. Missing from the line-up for Caroline Springs were big name players Brian Lake, a former AFL star, Blake Richards, a key defender, and Doug Thomas, the side’s most experienced midfielder. All three are likely to return for the Lakers’ twilight meeting with St Albans at Kings Park Reserve this Saturday, but that will pose some headaches for the selection committee. In the win, two of the Lakers’ best three players were rookies –Will Markovski and Jack Tarr. Markovski was a livewire with four goals, while Tarr showed his class from the outset. “We played four kids that are under 19 and they all played their roles really well,” Raak said. “Where our football club is at, we give opportunities to our young kids because they are our future. “The emotion in the rooms, seeing four kids under 19 and playing in our firsts, winning division 1 football in the WRFL, it was a special moment.” Best-afield honours went to Caroline Springs captain Keenan O’Shea. O’Shea was so highly rated at the Lakers that he was given the main leadership

Sports shorts Ballarat Football League

Six goals from Brendan Fevola wasn’t enough for Melton South to get the win against Lake Wendouree on Saturday, going down by 34 points and slipping out of the Ballarat Football League top six. South was able to match the home side in the first half, and even held the lead at half-time, but fell away badly in the third as the Lakers booted seven goals to two to break the game open. Aside from Fevola, just two other South players kicked majors, while the Lakers had seven players hit the scoreboard in the 16.11 (107) - 10.13 (73) result. Melton South slipped to seventh on percentage behind local rivals Melton, and will look to bounce back against Sunbury this week. In other games, Bacchus Marsh scored a resounding win over Ballarat while Darley went down to Redan after a poor second half. Bacchus Marsh had to work hard to gain the ascendency in its clash, going goal for goal with Ballarat in the first half before starting to stretch away after the long break. They blew the margin away in the final quarter with seven goals to one to claim a 18.19 (127) - 10.6 (66) win and hold onto second place on the ladder. Darley kept pace with Redan for the first half but failed to score in the third term, allowing Redan to steadily pull away before finishing in front, 15.5 (95) - 8.8 (56). It was only the second loss of the season for Darley and saw it slip to third on the ladder.

role immediately following his move from St Albans. “We changed his position up a bit in the last couple of weeks and played him on ball instead of across half-back and he’s taken his game to another level,” Raak said. “He’s leading from the front and we believe he will be our captain for many years to come.” After securing the win that saw them finally move off the bottom of the ladder, Caroline

Springs will be out to make it consecutive victories when it plays St Albans in a rare 5.15pm start this Saturday. The Lakers will go into the game full of confidence. “They’re a quality club St Albans, but we want to go there and take on the challenge and, who knows, we might be able to keep on a roll and win another game of football,” Raak said.

Bacchus Marsh struggled to keep up with Ballarat in BFNL action on Saturday, eventually going down by 13 goals. While Susan Watson scored 31 goals at an impressive 87 per cent, Ballarat had too much firepower and eventually prevailed 54-41. Melton South was also outclassed in its clash with Lake Wendouree, giving up a nine-goal lead in the first quarter before going down 58-44. Rebecca Colwell shot well all day to bag 36 goals from just 39 shots, but the Lakers created more opportunities and took the points. In other matches, Melton was thrashed by East Point (61-24), while Darley struggled to hit the scoreboard regularly as Redan took the win in its match, 45-19.

Fast-start Sharks shock reigning premiers Diggers Rest received a shock on Saturday, jumped at the start by Rupertswood and falling to its worst loss of the Riddell Football League season. Sitting second on the ladder coming into the important contest, and with just one loss in 2017, the reigning premiers never recovered from an opening quarter onslaught that saw the Sharks slam home seven goals from 11 scoring shots. It would be the catalyst for a 17.11 (113) 6.9 (45) loss for Diggers Rest. The Burras’ contained the home side in the second quarter as both sides kicked three goals, but the visitors would not get any closer for the rest of the day. The Sharks lost Sean Hetherington to concussion just before half-time, but it did little to stifle their attacking prowess. In a forgettable second half for the premiers, Diggers Rest managed just one goal after the long break as

they watched the home side stretch out to a percentage boosting win, leapfrogging them into second place in the process. Josh Wallace and Tom Taylor both toiled hard for the visitors, but in the end the hosts were too strong and had too many avenues to goal on the day. The Burras slipped to third on percentage following the loss and will now face unbeaten Macedon this week. Rockbank had a day it would rather forget as it squandered a strong start against Romsey before going down by 94-points. The Rams more than held their own in the early stages, keeping the home side to a single goal in the first quarter while kicking four straight themselves to hold a 13-point lead at the first change. However, from there it was all the Redbacks, with Rockbank adding just one goal in the

second quarter and none after half-time. Conversely, Romsey slammed on 17.15 after quarter-time to run away with a dominant 18.20 (128) - 5.4 (34) win. Finally, Melton Centrals had a similarly disappointing afternoon hosting Riddell, going down by 81 points. Much like Rockbank, Centrals were able to keep the margin tight in the early stages but struggled to contain their opponents after quarter-time. Riddell held a nine-point lead at the first change but had stretched that beyond 40 points by the long break. It eventually took the four points with a 16.16 (112) - 4.7 (31) win. Centrals this week play Woodend-Hesket, while Rockbank will travel to play Sunbury Kangaroos. Ewen McRae

Melton eyes off finals By Ewen McRae Melton has jumped into the Ballarat Football League top six, overcoming untimely injuries and running over the top of East Point in the last quarter on Saturday. Having not beaten East Point in coach Brad Murphy’s four years at the club, the 11.10 (76) - 9.14 (68) win came at the perfect time as they now leapfrog Melton South on percentage to grab a hold of a coveted finals place – for now. Murphy said it was a hugely important win in the context of their season. “It’s been a very exciting time the last couple of weeks to beat sides we haven’t beaten for a while,” Murphy said. “And it also helps that we’re beating the sides around us to give us that shot to make the finals. They’re important points to bank.” While East Point kicked with a slight breeze in the first quarter it was Melton that grabbed the early ascendency as Braedan 42 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 4, 2017

Kight continued his strong recent form up forward and the home side led by five points at quarter-time. East Point hit back in the second quarter, kicking into the wind but kicking truly for a five goal to two term and a 14-point buffer at the long break. Melton was not helped by a hamstring injury in the first quarter to playmaker Mark Orr, playing his first game back from a stint with Coburg in the VFL. Orr has suffered a previous hamstring injury, and looks set for another stint on the sidelines. The second half was an arm wrestle, with East Point holding sway in the third quarter by a single point and setting the game up for a classic finish. To Melton’s credit, its superior fitness came to the fore as it kicked four unanswered goals, including two pearlers from Kight, to seal the game. Kight finished with six goals for the day to be

a clear best on ground. “It was a mirror image to two weeks ago against North Ballarat, where we were down by 15 at three-quarter time and came back to win so I just kept telling the boys to believe we could do it,” Murphy said. “We’ve now got that belief that we can run out games, and we did it with one rotation short so we know fitness now isn’t an issue. “The boys are in a good head space at the moment where we know we’re playing some good footy.” The win has Melton just inside the top six, but Murphy is hoping to not just cling to a finals place, but continue to climb. “It’s our spot to lose now,” he said. “We play East Point again, we play Melton South again and they’re fighting for that sixth spot too so they’re crucial games for us. “We’re hoping to not just sneak in, but get in there and be a team that can do some damage in September.”

Melton Centrals kept its hold on a top six spot in the Riddell Netball League A-grade following a strong 13-goal win over Riddell on Saturday. With Riddell just a game behind Centrals coming into the round it was a crucial contest for both sides, and after keeping it tight early it was the home side which was able to break away to record a 58-45 victory. Centrals’ goal shooter Vanessa Seddon was on song early as she bagged 12 goals in the first quarter. She demanded the ball and got herself into strong scoring positions. The home side led by three points at the first change, and stretched that out to seven by half-time. The lead extended with each quarter as they cruised to the win. Seddon continued to be a handful for the Riddell defense all day – she finished with 46 goals from an amazing 68 shots. Rebecca Morabito provided great support with an efficient 12 goals from 16 shots. Elsewhere, Rockbank struggled to find avenues to goal as it went down to Romsey convincingly, 47-26. The Rams scored just four goals in the first quarter as they shot at a disappointing 37 per cent, with the home side opening up a handy early lead. The efficiency of the Rams attackers improved as the game went on, but they did not get enough looks at goal to cause Romsey enough problems, failing to reach double figures in any quarter. Romsey extended the lead at every change, however Jessica Herron (15 goals) toiled hard all day and goal keeper Danni Jane Umaki made life as difficult as she could for the home side’s forwards. Diggers Rest struggled to contain the rampant scoring of Rupertswood as it went down 60-45. Rupertswood scored at least 15 goals in each of the first three quarters to open up a match-winning lead, as its shooters made the most of good supply and shot with incredible efficiency. Diggers Rest toiled hard and was able to hit the scoreboard consistently, but could not match the forward firepower of the hosts. Amy Carroll (25 goals from 28 shots) was good all day for the vanquished, while Shelby Strong (20 goals) was also good. Ewen McRae

s far as facelifts go, the updated Mazda2 is more Megan Fox than Mickey Rourke. Mazda has given its city car a blink-andyouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll-miss-it nip-and-tuck that centres on improving its substance rather than its style, with more safety, more choice and more refinement. Exterior changes have been kept to a minimum (different trim elements and a new finish on the alloy wheels in high-grade models; side indicators move to theÂ mirrors). But dig deeper into the specifications and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more standard equipment, including automated emergency braking on every model and improved dynamics with the addition of Mazdaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s G-Vectoring control, as well as a new range-topping GT variant and drive-away pricing. The range starts with the entry-level Neo at $16,990. It has a six-speed manual transmission (auto is a $2000 option on all models) with 15-inch steel wheels, cruise control, air-conditioning, push-button start, Bluetooth connectivity and rear parking sensors. It also picks up automated emergency braking and electric folding mirrors. It is powered by a less sophisticated version of the 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. All other models, from the next-level Maxx upwards, have the same engine with a higher compression ratio cylinder head. The Maxx costs $2700 more and gets 15-inch alloy wheels and a 7-inch colour multimedia display with six-speaker audio, internet radio apps, a reverse camera, rear emergency braking and digital radio.

tested as part of its launch, the bold interior adds colour and class. In all other aspects, the 2 performs just like it always has, which is no bad thing. Like before, we love it for its dynamic fizz and all-round solid driving character. The engine might not have the low-down urgency of some of its turbo-charged European rivals,

but it revs freely, feels spritely away from the lights and achieves close to its claimed fuel consumption in everyday conditions. All in all, the Mazda remains a stylish, fun and frugal small car and is safer and better value than before. Andrew Maclean
