Cakes for all creatures
(Dennis Manktelow)
Jinky Accheni and her adorable rabbit Gandalf are getting ready for RSPCA Victoria’s sweetest fundraiser of the year. Animal lovers are encouraged to share sweet treats any day throughout August, especially for Cupcake Day on August 21, in return for a donation to the animal welfare charity. All money raised through the sale of baked goods and events goes towards helping animals in need. RSPCA Victoria chief executive Liz Walker said the fundraiser was an opportunity for friends, family, work mates and social groups to get together while raising money to help the organisation rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals. “Each year, we help thousands of animals and we rely on the generosity of our fundraisers to continue our vital work,” Dr Walker said. “Most people are happy to help a good cause, and Cupcake Day events are really good fun while playing a serious role in helping end cruelty to all animals.” Anyone who registers as a Cupcake Day host receives a free host kit with host guide, pop-up donation box, decorative bunting, promotional posters and a recipe book that even includes pup-friendly cupcakes.

Council calls in lawyer Moorabool council has hired an independent lawyer to sit in on its meetings to review councillors’ performance. Experienced lawyer Terry Bramham, of Macquarie Local Government Lawyers, has been observing councillors at the past two meetings and will continue to do so until October. Chief executive Rob Croxford said Mr Bramham was hired as part of a councillor support and assistance program and would be reporting on governance and procedures. He denied Mr Bramham was hired to resolve
conflict between councillors. Mr Croxford would not be drawn on how much it was costing the council to hire a lawyer but said “there is funding in our current budget to cover it”. Details about Mr Bramham’s role were made public after a closed special council meeting last month. In a report to the council, Mr Croxford stated that the councillor support program was introduced as a response to the significant workload and pressures councillors face in their roles. At least half of the report outlining the support program, seen by Star Weekly, is
and assemblies with a view to improving governance process and outcomes.” When Star Weekly questioned first-time east ward councillor Jarrod Bingham about the program he read a response from a statement stating that the council had hired the lawyer as a “good governance response to the workload”. A spokesperson for the Municipal Association of Victoria told Star Weekly it was not common practice for councils to hire lawyers to sit in on meetings. However, she said she was unable to comment on Moorabool council’s decision as she was unaware of its particular circumstances.
dedicated to how councillors can resolve issues. “It is important for the councillor team to work together for the benefit of the communities across the shire,” the report stated. “It is normal for tensions and disagreements to occur, however an understanding of team dynamics, different personalities, styles and team building is invaluable in delivering good governance.” It stated that council’s local laws were complex and formal meeting procedures were sometimes difficult for councillors to follow. “It is suggested that a short-term resource be appointed to advise and review the operation of council and committee meetings

has gathered some momentum in recent months,” Mr Stewart said. “There’s no doubt that the rise in crime in the last 12 months has captured people’s imagination. “The fact that burglaries are up and the fact that aggravated burglaries are increasing as well has translated into a higher demand for security systems. “Our business is up about 15 per cent as people think more about their security.”

Three service stations were targeted by a group of up to seven men in a series of armed robberies in Hillside, Laverton North and Rockbank at the weekend. Seven men smashed their way into a service station on the Melton Highway in Hillside just after 3am on Saturday. The group attempted to smash their way into the cigarette cabinets but failed to gain entry, instead stealing the attendant’s car. The attendant was in the cool room at the time and was uninjured. Thirty minutes later, it’s believed the same men targeted another service station in Laverton North. The group entered the Little Boundary Road petrol station armed with a knife, baseball bat and hammers just before 3.30am, stealing cigarettes and a cash register. The attendant locked himself in a back room and was uninjured. Six men armed with hammers also attended the Melton Highway service station just before 3.30am on Sunday. They stole the cash register and cigarettes before fleeing in a black SUV and silver sedan. No one was injured during the incident. Brimbank Embona detectives are treating all three incidents as linked. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Residents of a Diggers Rest street have taken neighbourhood watch to the next level. A spike in burglaries in the area prompted residents to take their safety into their own hands earlier this year by installing a live-view camera system. The safety cam initiative has the support of Community Against Crime group president Tim Payne who said that it gave residents in the street “peace of mind”. Mr Payne said that the program would be rolled out in parts of Sunbury and the Mornington Peninsula this week. Cameras record 24-hour live digital footage from various locations along a street, with participating residents able to access real-time footage of movement in their street. Residents can also contact one another via a dedicated online messenger group, so information can be shared. “In September last year, the Diggers Rest community came together at a safety forum because residents were concerned about home invasions in the area,” Mr Payne told Star Weekly. “The crime rate in Diggers Rest was up 115 per cent at that time so there was a sense of concern among all the residents. “Following the safety forum, instead of waiting on Melton council or the police to do something about it, this community came to me because they needed help and they wanted to be proactive about their safety.” He said the cameras could help deter crime and, in the event of a crime or anti-social behaviour, help police detect those responsible. About 18 properties in the street have signed up for the program, with participants paying $400 in set-up fees plus an annual $150

Melba Waugh and her staff have been delighting customers at Bacchus Marsh post office for the past decade and their efforts have not gone unnoticed. The post office branch was named one of this year’s winners in the Australia Post Licensee Awards for its excellence in customer service. “We still get a lot of regular customers who come into the post office,� Ms Waugh said. “When we first bought the business in 2007, we thought that there might possibly be a decrease in demand for the service but that hasn’t been the case. “I coach all my staff to be extra sensitive to the customers’ needs and to be sincere in selling.
“It’s not about the sale, it’s about helping people with what they need.� She said the Bacchus Marsh branch was originally a corporate post office and the site where Australia Post piloted the rollout of community post offices. “As far as post offices go, it’s the cream of the crop,� Ms Waugh said. Bacchus Marsh Post Office received the award for excellence in customer service and post office operations and for its contribution to its local community. Melton South post office won an award for customer service excellence and placed in the top five branches in the state. Esther Lauaki

New weapon in police arsenal By Esther Lauaki An increasing number of violent run-ins has sparked a move to arm officers with tasers. Bacchus Marsh police are among the first to be equipped with conductive energy devices (tasers) as part of a regional rollout at 24-hour police stations. The rollout follows extensive trials of officers being equipped with the devices in early 2016. Victorian deputy commissioner Wendy Steendam said that general duties and highway patrol officers would carry the conductive
energy devices, giving them more non-lethal options to resolve incidents involving violent offenders or those threatening self-harm. “Unfortunately over recent years there has been an increase in the number of incidents where police have been confronted by armed and violent people and those who are drug or alcohol affected,” Ms Steendam said. “These are often physical confrontations where police, members of the community and the individuals themselves are at risk of being injured. “Once our officers are trained in their use, Tasers can provide an additional tactical

option to help resolve some of these high risk incidents.” Ms Steendam said the devices could only be used in situations where police believed it would prevent death or serious injury. “In many cases, the presentation of a Taser alone can help to safely defuse a situation,” she said.
Officers must undertake a two-day course before being able to carry the devices. Officers are already trained in negotiation and communicating techniques and general operational tactics and safety training. Ms Steendam said Victoria police would continue to have strict accountability to monitor and record the use of the devices, including video recording when one was presented and deployed. Police at 36 stations, including Bacchus Marsh, will have tasers by the time the rollout is complete in mid-2018.
The upside of downball Two Kurunjang Secondary College schoolmates are so serious about downball that they formed their own company to get more courts laid. Year 8 students Shaun McAndrew, the managing director and Ty Duff, second-in-charge, formed the Downball Court Company earlier this year because they wanted to solve the problem of congestion in the playground. Assistant principal Aylin Gokmen said she tasked the boys with finding a solution after a schoolyard dispute. “Last term while I was looking after junior school, I was dealing with a dispute between some kids over space to play downball and Shaun overheard me,” Ms Gokmen said. “He said to me that the school needs more downball courts so I suggested that he spearhead the project.” Ms Gokmen set the two boys a mission to
form a company and advised them to look into the feasibility of installing more downball courts and survey unmarked areas that students were using to play the game. With a borrowed line marker from neighbouring Kurunjang Primary School, and the assistance of the school maintenance officer, the pair marked up three more courts. They plan to hold a downball competition in coming weeks. “It was about engagement and turning their energies into something positive,” Ms Gokmen said. “When a problem arises, I wanted them to know that creative thinking and positive action is the way to resolve a problem instead of complaining. “I also wanted them to take ownership of an idea and to feel responsible for seeing it become a reality.” Esther Lauaki

Stephen Ratten (pictured) was among more than 130 local men who graduated from the Sons of the West program last week. Sons of the West, which runs in Melton and Taylors Hill, is a free, 10-week men’s health program aimed at improving mental and physical health through a series of workshops and activity sessions. The program is a mix of speakers, physical activities, health education and even a cooking class, and includes giveaways such as match-day experiences and merchandise. Western Bulldogs Community Foundation manager Kashif Bouns said last week’s graduation ceremony was an opportunity to acknowledge and congratulate the men who had made a priority of their health.
“The graduating participants were presented with their graduation jumpers from Bulldogs legend, Tony Liberatore which was a very special moment for a number of men,” Mr Bouns said. “Graduating from the program indicates a step in the right direction towards optimal health. Our main focus of the program is to promote sustainable, healthy behaviours that can be adapted into everyday life following the end of the program.” Mr Bouns said he looked forward to seeing this year’s graduates become part of the program’s leadership academy in the future.

Healing Melton’s heART By Esther Lauaki Imagine if community divisions could be healed by a group of young people creating a theatre show. That is what Dave Houston, art director for Melton’s Full-On theatre company, hopes to do through his latest project Raise the heART heART. The youth-led project is creating a multi-media theatrical show in response to protests over plans for an Islamic school in Melton and a Melton West mosque that occurred two years ago and the ongoing issues of racism. In November, 2015, anti-racism protesters clashed with right-wing groups in response to plans for the mosque and Islamic school approved for Victoria University’s Melton campus. Young people between 12 and 25 years old are being invited to attend Saturday morning workshops at Melton Youth Centre to help create the show, which will be performed in November. Houston said that Raise the heART heART, funded by the state’s community resilience unit and Melton council, aimed to create a powerful theatre experience for audiences with original music and “powerful narratives”. “It’s about supporting young people at risk to violent extremism – learning to constructively express difficult emotions and complex stories,” he said. Houston said there would also be a strong focus on learning practical work skills and developing youth leadership skills at the workshops. Details: bit.ly/2vy8S86
Greyhound bid goes to VCAT The owner of an Elaine greyhound training facility plans to appeal Moorabool council’s refusal to amend a permit. The council last week refused to amend a permit for the Jordan’s Lane operation that would allow the owner to build kennels, yards and training areas for 120 dogs. A permit was granted in 2010 for an animal boarding house to house up to 70 dogs and 50 cats at the site. Council began to receive persistent noise complaints from neighbours after the property was sold in 2014 to a Greyhound trainer and the permit was amended for a 120-dog capacity. Council officers noted in a report that the amended permit proposal was to confine the dogs to the north-west corner of the property, but that the owner had already started construction on kennels without a permit. One of three neighbours to voice their objections at last Wednesday’s council meeting, Paul Ryan, said that he heard dogs barking day and night. “We’ve endured relentless howling and barking for more than two years,” he said. “Our relationships have been strained, and both myself and my fiance have suffered at work from lack of sleep.” A representative for the applicant said the decision would be appealed at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Melton mayor Sophie Ramsey said it had been an incredibly competitive year. “The Melton Business Excellence Awards are an ideal opportunity to recognise the top achieving businesses in our city,” Cr Ramsey said. “On behalf of council, I would like to congratulate each of our finalists.
“We can’t wait to find out who takes out each category at the awards gala dinner on September 1.” Quest Apartments Caroline Springs general manager Natalie Bui said she was pleased to see so many new businesses nominate and participate in this year’s awards. “As a previous multiple-award winner, we felt the next step was to give something back to the awards and local business community via sponsorship and mentoring,” Ms Bui said.

Ravenhall maximum-security prison has a new $4.6 million operations base, two years after a riot that caused up to $12 million of damage and dozens of staff injuries. The facility will house the security and emergency services group in a purpose-built complex that includes an armoury, training rooms and kennels for the dog squad. In 2015, about 400 inmates at the Metropolitan Remand Centre rioted over a smoking ban. Dozens of staff were injured in the 15-hour rampage, 11 of whom have not returned to work. In December, WorkSafe Victoria charged the Department of Justice and Regulation with four breaches of workplace health and safety laws, including failing to provide and maintain a safe workplace, failing to ensure the workplace was safe and failing to ensure persons other than employees were not exposed to risks. Last month, at the opening of the new operations base at the Metropolitan Remand Centre, Corrections Victoria Commissioner Jan Shuard said significant measures had been taken to avoid a recurrence of the riot. “Our security and emergency services group has grown significantly in the last few years,” he said. “We are now up to around 150 operational staff to provide services across the 14 prisons and youth justice facility.” – The Age

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of announcing the finalists in the 2017 City of Melton Business Excellence Awards.
Each year on Vietnam Veterans Day, our community comes together to reflect and honour the men who died while on active service.
The 28 shortlisted businesses are vying for one of 10 awards, including the special Mayoral Achievement Award, and the highly coveted City of Melton Business of the Year award.
Vietnam Veterans Day coincides with the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in which heavily outnumbered Australian forces defeated Viet Cong militants. One hundred and eighty soldiers of D Company, held off a 2000-strong enemy force for four hours in a tropical downpour, that day. Eighteen men were lost and 25 were wounded.
The City of Melton Business Excellence Awards are an ideal opportunity to recognise the top achieving businesses in our City, and this was a particularly competitive year, with a record number of nominations being received across all categories. ¡ ¢ ¢£ ¤ ¥ are still the best of the best, and we will continue to celebrate your successes, now and well into the future. ¤ ¢ ¦ ¢ § ¨ © ª « ¬ £ I’m also pleased to report that Council is currently preparing nine funding submissions ª § ° ¬ ±¢ § ª ¢ ² ³ ¬ ¥ § ² ´£ µ ¢ ¬ ¢¢ ¢ ¶·£¸ ¬ ¢ « ¹ ¢ ¶º»£¼ ¬ ¢ ¦ ² ¢ ½ ¢ ¬¬ ¥ ¾ ¢ « ¢ ¾ ¤ ¢ ¿ À ½ ¢ ° ¦ ¥ ½ ½ ¢ ° ° «¬ Á ¬¬ ¥ Á ¿ ¢ ¿ refurbishment of change rooms across a number of recreational facilities to make them ¬ ¥ ¢ ¦ ¢ ¿ ¥¢« £ ¢ ¢ ¢¢ ¶¼£ºÃ© ¬ ¬ § ² ¶Ä£ºÅ ¬ û©¼Æû©¸ § ª ¢ ² « ¹ ¢ ª« ¢ À ¢ ² ¥ Ç ¢ Á À Trail, and are hopeful that we will continue this success in the next round of funding. ¿ ¢ ± ¢ ¬ ¥ ¢ ¢¢ ¢ »Ä©Ã ÈÅÄ »¼¸ sophie.ramsey@melton.vic.gov.au

Khan sells up, buys big
Cash bonus for Djerriwarrh Health Service
By Charlene Macaulay A Wyndham councillor has sold nearly $19 million of Wyndham real estate and invested $50 million on large swathes of land in neighbouring Rockbank. Cr Intaj Khan, who is the director of the Western Institute of Technology and has a stake in a number of other business ventures, recently sold nearly 20 hectares of land in Mount Cottrell – the largest a 10-hectare vacant block at 1350 Dohertys Road that netted him $8.45 million. He has also sold land at 1419, 1455 and 1467 Dohertys Road in recent weeks, each about four hectares, for $3.5 million apiece. Cr Khan said he had sold the properties because his plans to build a new school in Wyndham and subdivide some of the land into luxury 0.4-hectare blocks had been stymied. He said the delayed approval of the Oakbank precinct structure plan, which would have affected all four properties, meant he would have to wait a few years to put his plans in action. “It creates uncertainty in the area, because those people who want to build resorts or hotels or schools, they can’t wait too long,” he said. “The state government should run the planning properly, otherwise investors like myself will not carry on the project.” Cr Khan told Star Weekly he had recently purchased about 160 hectares of land only kilometres away in Rockbank, in the city of Melton, including about 18 hectares along Paynes Road, and blocks in Mount Cottrell Road, Iramoo Circuit, and on the corner of Troups and Greigs roads. He said the approved precinct structure plan for Rockbank would allow him to develop the land more quickly.

“Rockbank is a new community, so I wouldn’t say that I want to do one-acre blocks there,” he said. “The intention is to make affordable housing.” Cr Khan still owns a number of Wyndham properties. In his most recent register of interest return, he declared properties in Kingsfield Way, Truganina, Sayers Road in Hoppers Crossing,

Derrimut Road, Tarneit, and Boundary Road, Tarneit. In 2012, Cr Khan purchased the former Mowbray College in Caroline Springs for $6.7 million and attempted to re-open the site as a non-denominational private secondary college, but failed to get enough enrolments to make the school viable. He sold the site at the end of last year for $12 million.
Djerriwarrh Health Services has received a significant cash injection in the latest round of state funding allocations. Bacchus Marsh hospital will receive nearly $50 million as part of the state’s 2017-18 bottom-line budget allocations for Victorian hospitals. The funding will be split among hospitals, ambulance services, mental health and drug services, aged care, community health and public health services. Western Victoria MP Jaala Pulford said this year’s funding for Djerriwarrh Health Services is up by $1.374 million on the previous year. “We know our dedicated doctors and nurses do a remarkable job at Djerriwarrh Health Service,” Ms Pulford said. “This record boost gives them the support they need to keep saving lives and keep people healthy. “The government’s increased funding will support hospitals to meet demand so patients can access the care they need and deserve, more quickly, no matter where they live,” Ms Pulford said. “Across Victoria, the funding will enable hospitals to admit 1.9 million patients, treat 1.8 million patients in emergency and carry out more than 200,000 elective surgeries to reduce waiting lists even further.” Esther Lauaki

Under-12 footballers from Sunshine George Cross club. (Supplied)
Cubs take on nation Hard work and persistence has paid off for seven young players from Caroline Springs-based club Sunshine George Cross Club. Under-12 footballers Jake Jurica, Danidu Aluthjage, Max Caputo, Kayne Razmovski, Jarome Charan, Sebastian Esposito and Danijel Lugonja are bound for Adelaide in December to represent Victoria at the Pacific School Games. Team manager Tom Razmovski said all of the players are part of Football Federation Victoria’s talented player identification program.
“We’re very proud of the boys,” he said. “A few of the boys have been playing above their grade and are on the top of the ladder. “They come from around the western suburbs and they are very committed to their training and it’s really paid off.” Club president Jamie Checuti said he was “extremely proud” of the boys’ achievements crediting the club’s youth development program with fostering the boy’s success.

join the community, his partner is retired – and as long as one of the partners is 55 or over, you are welcome to apply for a villa.�
On Thursday, August 17, from 10am until noon, the village will host an open day with complementary refreshments such as tea, cakes and sandwiches.
Margaret and Terry say they love managing the day-to-day operations of the estate, including trivia nights, outings, festivals and luncheons.
Interested folk from the wider community are invited to come along, tour the grounds and chat with the friendly residents of this beautiful gated community.
“Terry and I are about to go to a blues venue with a bunch of the residents soon, which will be great fun,� Margaret says.
Bellbrook Gardens Village is a lifestyle resort.
“We actually had a trivia night just the other day and one of the questions was, who is the youngest and who is the eldest resident?
The feeling is akin to that of a luxury ocean liner, yet there’s plenty of space to walk about and the fantastic township of Bacchus Marsh is just minutes away. The warm, welcoming feel of the village is apparent as soon as you enter. The friendly atmosphere continues as you drive through to independent villas and stylish community centres, all surrounded by attractive landscaping. The exclusive retirement village is currently selling stages five and six, with villas being offered in twoand three-bedroom configurations. Village managers Margaret and Terry Ham will be available at the open day to answer questions and help ensure guests make the most of their visit. Margaret and Terry both live in the village and love living and working in such a warm and luxurious setting. “You don’t have to be retired to live here,� Margaret says. “Many of our residents are still fully engaged in their careers. One works at the airport, another is an IT executive. He is actually 52. “Although we do stipulate you must be at least 55 to
“Turns out our youngest resident is 52 – our resident IT guru. The eldest are two gentlemen who are currently 89 years of age. “So you can see there is a great diversity of age here and we are always out and about doing something different. “At the centre of our village is our community centre, which offers activities, entertainment and club bar facilities. “We also have outdoor and indoor bowling greens, a fully-equipped gym, an indoor heated pool, hairdresser and theatre room – and social events are always coming up. “We make sure the community comes together all the time, so if you were thinking of joining our community on your own, then you can be sure you will be welcomed with open arms and never be alone ‌ or bored.â€?

This well-presented property set on about 718 squares has good kerb appeal thanks to a double gabled brick veneer facade and a deep verandah. Enter to the main lounge room with floating floorboards, a potbelly fireplace, fan and loads of natural light.

Three large bedrooms are all fitted, save for the huge back bedroom with a finished space ready for a proposed walk-in robe.

It has five years on the clock, but this beautifully presented abode looks as fresh as a daisy and has the streamlined contemporary look many families value – not to mention a block of about 925 square metres allowing plenty of scope to fulfil dreams.

The tiles then become a walkway that bisects lounge and dining rooms, each with honey-toned floating floorboards. The boards continue in the expansive, light-filled living hub where charcoal rollerblinds contrast with the warm-white wall paint used throughout. The kitchen has a waterfall island bench in cream stone, plenty of 2pac cupboards, a mocha glass splashback, a dishwasher and 900mm cooker. It’s an appealing work space, as well as an ideal entertainment focal point.
The remaining fitted bedrooms are along a tiled hallway off the living hub, as are the sparkling main bathroom – with same look as the en suite – and separate toilet and laundry. Other indoor features include ducted heating, evaporative cooling and an alarm system. Two sets of stacker doors open from the hub to, respectively, a strip of grey-coloured concrete along the back of the house and a large gabled pergola at the side. The latter is plumbed for hot and cold water.

The extra-big backyard is all grass right now, but offers a chance to kick off personal projects such as putting up a shed, dropping in a pool, creating a kids’ playground or simply beautifying the space with gardens.

SPORT Burras pumped for international match The AFL International Cup will return to Diggers Rest on Saturday. The Burras hosted a game between Indonesia and France in 2014, the last time the cup was held, and had no hesitation in putting their hand up again. Burras operations manager Ben Morse said it was an easy decision. This time around the club will host Indonesia and China. “Last time it was really successful and I know the Indonesian team enjoyed it out here,” Morse said. “It couldn’t have gone any better. It gives them a taste of local football, and they were cheering the loudest of anyone during our games. “I know our players really enjoyed getting to know the players after the game. “It’s great for the town to host an international sporting event.” Morse said that when the International Cup came to town in 2014, the international players had been thrilled to mix with the club’s

former AFL players and it was hoped similar encounters would eventuate this weekend. “Last time they got to meet Brent Tuckey and Callum Wilson and it’s the first time they’d met AFL players,” he said.
“Cale [Morton] and Taylor [Hine] are more than happy to talk to them after the game this time.” The match will be played from noon before the senior Riddell District Football League match between Diggers Rest and Romsey. The reserves match between the two clubs has been moved to a 10am start to accommodate the International Cup. After the seniors match, the club will host a post-match function with both international sides in attendance. Morse said there would be special jumper presentations to both countries and local schools were also getting involved by supporting the match. The club is hoping Channel 31 will stream the game online, giving people in both participant countries the opportunity to watch from home. The club is also holding a past player day on Saturday. Tara Murray
Jets shock cup contender By Lance Jenkinson Western Jets have produced one of the shocks of the TAC Cup season, knocking premiership contenders Oakleigh Chargers off top spot. In a game between the top and bottom sides in the competition, it was the unfancied Jets who came away with a memorable six-point win at Burbank Oval on Saturday. “The last six weeks we’ve played the top six teams,” Jets coach Torin Baker said. “It was good to finally crack through for a win.” Western Jets had to dig deep to get the win. The undermanned Jets were seven points down at three quarter-time and two rotations short on the bench after injuries to key players Zak Butters (quad) and Nick Stuhldreier (concussion). One of the Jets’ top onballers, Lachlan Fogarty, was also lame with a corked calf. Fogarty was forced to stay inside forward 50, so the Jets would not go a further rotation down. “It was nice for the boys to fight it out and get the reward,” Baker said. “We just had multiple contributors on the day – it was really just an even spread. “We couldn’t have picked too many players who didn’t play their role on the day.” When the match was there for the taking, it was the highly touted Cameron Rayner who stepped up for the Western Jets. Widely tipped to be selected with the first pick in this year’s AFL draft, Rayner showed his class with a long goal on the run at the start of the last quarter to give the Jets momentum. “It was a big moment in the game, running through the middle of the ground and popping it through from 55 metres out,” Baker said. “He was the stand out. He had great balance in his game, whether it was the offensive element or defensive, then he added a bit of class.” Jets backman Luke Hitch worked hard to quell his opponents, usually dangerous small forwards, and provided drive out of defence. It was a big day for Darren Walters and Matthew Volkanovski, who worked in tandem to nullify the Chargers towering ruckman Ned Reeves. Toby Kopa kicked the game-sealing goal for the Jets in the last quarter. Aided by a friendly fixture, the Western Jets are still in with a hope of reaching the finals. The Jets play the three sides directly above them on the ladder, starting with Northern Knights at RAMS Arena on Saturday morning. “Now we play teams just around us and above us, so our season is alive in terms of the final eight,” Baker said.
Sports shorts Netball
Darley got its third win of the season, with victory over local rival Bacchus Marsh in Ballarat Netball League. The Devils weren’t able to break the game open, but increased their lead at every break for a 45-35 victory. Renee Hulls shot 28 goals for the Devils, with Brianna Rizzato named best on court. The result ends Bacchus Marsh’s finals hopes. In other results, Melton lost 57-23 to Sunbury Lions and Melton South was beaten by North Ballarat City.
Women’s football
Caroline Springs’ season is over in the Western Region and Essendon District Women’s Football League. Having made finals in their first season, the Lakers led at half-time in their semi-final against the Sunbury Lions but couldn’t maintain that pace in the second half. The Lakers scored just a single point in the second half for a 5.15 (45)-2.3 (15) defeat.
Rugby union
Melton’s season has come to an end in Victorian Club Rugby second division. After finishing fourth, Melton played Geelong Rams in an elimination semi-final, with the Rams proving too strong in a 35-21 win.
EDFL
Burnside Heights was left to rue a scoreless first quarter against Jacana in Essendon District Football League division 2. The quarter proved to be the difference, with the Bears unable to overcome a 40-point deficit in the 15.14 (104)-10.8 (68) defeat. Hillside had a bye in division 1.
WRFL
Caroline Springs couldn’t overcome a poor start against Sunshine in Western Region Football League division 1 on Saturday. The Lakers trailed the Kangaroos 45-0 at quarter-time and kicked one goal in the first three quarters. Despite six last-term goals, the Lakers lost 15.16 (106)-7.9 (51). Douglas Thomas was named the Lakers’ best in the loss.
Soccer
Melton Phoenix overcame a first-half deficit to come away with a point from its clash with Western Eagles in FFV state league 4 west. The Eagles scored the opener in the first half, before the Phoenix levelled scores in the second. Neither team could find a winner, with the match ending 1-1. The draw is Phoenix’s third of the season. They remain on the bottom of the ladder. In state league 5 west, Spring Hills had a 4-0 win against Maidstone United. Spring Hills is second on the ladder, five points behind ladder leader Laverton Park.

Centrals on finals track By Tara Murray Melton Centrals sealed their finals spot in the Riddell District Netball League with a comprehensive win against Sunbury Kangaroos on Saturday. Sitting in fifth entering the match, Centrals had all but sealed a top-six spot, but a win against the Kangaroos would make sure of it. In difficult conditions, Centrals had no trouble accounting for the Kangaroos 62-30. They led at the first break and extended that at every break. Centrals coach Randy Pereira was happy with the result. “Sunbury aren’t a bad team and one of the better bottom teams we’ve played against,” he said. “The wind made it tough and scoring goals was hard at times. “Our percentage is ordinary and finals spots will come down to wins for us, so we changed things around in the last quarter.” “We put [defender] Rachel Dovaston in goals and threw other players around for a bit of fun. “The win could have been bigger.” The game was an opportunity for Centrals to play their full team for the first time in a number of weeks. Captain Jess May was back in the side after missing the past few weeks. May will also miss the final round of the season but will be available for finals. Caitlin Duncan was named Centrals’ best, and Rebecca Morabito was the best of the shooters with 34 goals. Centrals remain in fifth position, only percentage behind Rupertswood, but depending on results in the final two rounds could finish as high as third. Their final round match against third-placed Lancefield will be vital in deciding finals positions. They face seventh-placed Riddell this week. Pereira said it would be an interesting couple of rounds with eight points separating third to sixth. “We’re still a chance for third,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a cracker of a finals series. Any one is good enough on their day. “Finals is a different ball game.” All four Centrals sides sit in the top six at this stage of the season. The under-19s and C-grade teams have also sealed their finals spots. Pereira said the B-grade side, which is currently sixth, was under the pump to maintain its spot in the top six. In other matches, Diggers Rest also sealed their finals spot with a 47-24 win against Rockbank. The Burras extended the lead at every break for the win. Defensively they restricted the Rams to five or less goals in each of the first three quarters. Burras playing coach Amy Carroll shot 37, while Kari Love shot 16 for the Rams. In other results Romsey defeated Lancefield in a thriller, a sluggish Rupertswood accounted for Riddell and Macedon was too strong for Woodend-Hesket.

Bowlers take a step up Bacchus Marsh Bowling Club will have a new challenge this season – the club has two sides in the Central Highlands Bowls Division’s top division for the first time in its history. The club’s second side will join division 1 after earning promotion from division 2. It defeated Diggers Rest in the division 2 grand final earlier this season. Club president Glenn Arthur said while some bowlers had been a little apprehensive to step up to the top division, it was exciting for the club. “We’ll have 32 bowlers this season playing in division 1,” he said. “At least half the second team has stepped up to help the top team at some stage. “A lot of the time when a club has two teams in the top division, the second team normally gets relegated and goes back down. “Even if they do get relegated it will make them stronger bowlers having played against the top level.” Arthur said the club had retained nearly all the bowlers from the past season and were looking to add a few more to the mix. “We’re after bowlers who would like to play in division 1,” he said. “There may be players at other clubs in lower grades or competitions and think that they could play division 1 who would like to make the move.” Details: Glenn, 0402 582 090 or Phil, 0418 595 223 Tara Murray

Eynesbury in search of better cricket, wickets The timing is finally right for Eynesbury Cricket Club to make the move to the Gisborne and District Cricket Association. The club started in 2012 in the Western Suburbs Churches & Community Cricket Association and had been looking to make the move across to the GDCA the past couple of years, but things haven’t fallen into place. This year has been different, with the club officially accepted into the GDCA late last month. Eagles president Jim Herlihy said there had been overwhelming support for the move, with club members voting 28-1 in favour. “The main reason was to ensure we kept the kids at the club coming through to seniors,” he said. “We want them to play seniors at the club … we also want to play a better standard of cricket and on better grounds.” Several Eagles players have previously played 46 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 8, 2017
in the GDCA, including captain-coach Luke Castle and his brother and assistant coach, Hayden Castle. Hayden holds the GDCA’s top-grade highest score record. He made 220 not out for Riddell in the 2013-14 season. Both Castles were keen to play once more in the GDCA. Herlihy said the club hoped it’s top side would start in the GDCA B-grade competition. He said the club wasn’t expecting to have the same success it had enjoyed in recent years in the churches competition. The Eagles dominated the Lowe Shield A-grade competition last season, easily winning the grand final. They finished runners-up the year before and won the title in 2014-15. “Hopefully we will go straight into B-grade,” Herlihy said of the GDCA move. “We’re not going in thinking we can win the competition,
but we don’t think we will embarrass ourselves either.” Herlihy said the club had already signed some new recruits and was talking to a few more players. He said the club would field four sides again and would consider having a fifth senior side. It is also looking to expand its junior program through the addition of a youth girls side. He said junior players at the club did not pay fees. Instead, they are asked to sell raffle tickets to help with costs. The Eagles are also hopeful the club’s new home ground will be completed by the end of the year. The club has been playing home matches in Melton instead of Eynesbury as there isn’t a sports ground in the town. Tara Murray

Melton Centrals make the most of overseas influence Melton Centrals found an unlikely source to bring inspiration, and a little international flavour, to the side. The club had the South African international cup team train with it on Thursday night, and Centrals coach Mathew Sproule said the session had an impact. “They [South Africa] play a game that’s foreign to them and their passion is infectious,” he said. “We play local football because we love the game, but it can become a grind. They reminded us about getting back to enjoying football.” In the bottom half of the Riddell District Football League ladder, Centrals have shown periods of good play against sides above them this season, but haven’t put it together for four quarters. That changed on Saturday when they secured an upset win over Sunbury Kangaroos. Taking confidence into the game on a ground that favoured their playing style, Centrals shocked Sunbury at the weekend.
Kicking with the wind Kangaroos were wasteful early, converting just one from nine scoring shots. When Centrals got their chance kicking with the wind in the second quarter, they made the most of it and grabbed a 19-point lead by half-time. Kicking against the breeze in the third quarter didn’t stop their scoring. They sealed the result with four goals in the final term for a 11.16 (82)-4.14 (38) win. James Aquilina kicked three goals for Centrals, while James Micallef was named best on ground. The win was Centrals’ sixth for the season and puts it seventh on the ladder – an improvement on last season’s two wins. Sproule said the results showed that the side could play good football. When he took over the reins late last year, his focus was on youth and revitalising the club. “We were coming off winning two games,” he said. “We’ve played three under-16s and three under-18s this season. It’s about the
improvement and the belief and getting them to realise they are good enough.” Sproule said they liked their chances of adding more wins to their 2017 record in the final two rounds. “When we play at small grounds … we’ve been competitive,” he said. “Our ground doesn’t suit our game-plan – we don’t have the pace on the outside. “We spoke about getting wins on Thursday and we think we’re a chance. We need some more rain in the next couple of days to make Riddell a bog, which will suit us.” In the final round, Centrals will face Lancefield. In other results, Diggers Rest easily accounted for Rockbank. After an even first quarter, the Burras kicked away to record a 13.16 (94)-2.6 (18) win. Mark Freeth was best on ground, kicking five goals. Macedon, Rupertswood, Romsey and Wallan were the other winners. Tara Murray

Cobras clear the slate By Tara Murray Bacchus Marsh had its revenge on rival Darley in the Ballarat Football League on Saturday. The Cobras only loss of the season came back in round one at the hands of the Devils and they’ve wanted to get one back over them since. With both sides in the top three it added extra spice to what is always a hotly anticipated game. While on paper it looked like it would be a cracker match, the end result was a fizzer with the Cobras winning 17.16 (118)-7.12 (54). Cobras coach Travis Hodgson said it was good to have had a victory over every team before heading into finals. “It was a really solid win,” he said. “We brought out the best in them in round one and I think they brought out the best in us yesterday. “It doesn’t take long when you get to Bacchus Marsh to get your head around the rivalry.” The Cobras led by 27 points at quarter-time, but it was the second quarter, which they won by a point, which Hodgson said set up the win. “We generally start well and we were kicking to the scoring end,” he said. “There was a two- to three-goal breeze. “We were four goals up at quarter-time, added a few more points in the second quarter and still felt like the game was on our terms.” The Cobras extended the lead in the second half in one of the most pleasing outcomes of the game. At times this year the Cobras have faded after the long break. Jarrah Maksymow kicked five goals in his return to the side, after spending time in the reserves for not meeting club standards. Hodgson said while they would have loved to have had Maksymow play every game in the seniors, it had forced the team to find more options up forward. “In round one, Jarrah kicked five to half-time and was unstoppable,” he said. “They shut him down in the second half and we couldn’t score. “It was a genuine concern, but the boys have found faith. I would say they didn’t kick to him on Saturday any more than the other forwards.” Among the Cobras’ options up forward the past two weeks has been VFL-listed Brenton Payne. Hodgson said they would have more of an idea this week whether Payne and another VFL-listed player, Jacob Wheelahan, would be available for the Cobras in finals. The Cobras will also have to wait on scans to know the full extent of a hamstring injury which sidelined Scott Sherlock late in the game. Hodgson said Sherlock would at least be out of the remaining home and away games.

The ladder-leading Cobras get the week off with the bye, which couldn’t have come at a better time, according to the coach. The Devils slip outside the top three for the first time this season, with Redan jumping into
third position. In other matches, Melton and Melton South’s finals hopes suffered setbacks with losses to Sunbury Lions and Melton South respectively. They both sit a game outside the top six.
The season may have just finished, but the Western Rams are already looking ahead. The Rams, the junior arm of the Rockbank Football Netball Club, are looking to build on the foundations put in place this year. After seven seasons without junior football or netball teams, the Rams had an under-10 team this year in the Riddell District Football League. The side finished its season last month and the club put on a special celebration night for players, which included an appearance from Western Bulldogs star Liam Picken. Rams’ football operations manager Gavin Sporle said they were already taking expressions of interest for next year. “We started the season with 16 players and finished with 23,” he said. “It was a really successful season and we want to build on that. “We’re hoping that we can field a football and netball side in every age group.” Sporle said at this stage it looked like the club would at least have football teams in the two youngest age groups. Whether they will be even or odd age groups is still being decided with the RDFL doing a review of the junior structures. Anyone interested in playing at the Western Rams can contact Gavin on 0481 912 604. Tara Murray 47 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 8, 2017

Stephen Ottley compares the Toyota Prado range What is it? Toyota has no shortage of SUVs and off-roaders – the Prado slots between the Fortuner and LandCruiser in the hardcore off-road part of its range. But it’s not a niche vehicle; in 2016 it was the most popular in the large SUV segment. How many models can I choose from? There are two engine choices (4.0-litre V6 petrol or 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel), two transmissions (six-speed manual or automatic), five or seven-seater options and four trim levels. The base GX – only available with the diesel – has 17-inch alloy wheels, a reversing camera, a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen and Bluetooth, to name the highlights. Stepping up to the GXL, which can be had with either the petrol or diesel engines, adds the likes of roof rails, tri-zone air-conditioning, navigation, rear parking sensors and heated side mirrors. The VX adds 18-inch alloys, front parking sensors, leather accented seats and a 14-speaker JBL surround-sound system. At the top of the range, the Kakadu, which is diesel only, includes a moonroof, rear seat entertainment, active cruise control, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert. Is it expensive to own? While it is covered by a capped price servicing scheme and the services themselves are quite affordable, the intervals are only every six months (or 10,000 kilometres). Which is the most economical model? The diesel is the one to go for. The 2.8-litre four pot may sound small but it hauls the big vehicle along. Fuel consumption is rated at 8.0-litres
W H AT DO TH E Y CO S T ?
TOYOTA PRADO
per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle. By contrast, the 4.0-litre V6 petrol engine drinks an average of 11.6L/100km. One of the Prado’s biggest strengths is its huge fuel tank. It has an 87-litre main tank and a 63-litre reserve tank. Which is the safest? All models in the range get a reversing camera as standard, along with seven airbags, stability control and traction control. However, it isn’t until the VX grade that front and rear parking sensors are standard. Only the Kakadu gets the
active safety features, so that makes it the pick if safety is your priority. Where’s the sweet spot? While the Kakadu is the best equipped, at $92,590 for the diesel model, it is a lot of money for what is primarily a heavy-duty off-roader. So the GXL is our pick. Priced from $64,190 for the diesel-engined, automatic-equipped model, it comes standard with seven seats and all the key features – roof rails, tri-zone air-con, navigation and rear parking sensors (if not front).
