Fitness crew in mo show The fight against cancer became physical at the weekend. A fitness team at Progressive Health and Performance in Melton held a 24-hour event to raise money and awareness of men’s health issues, including prostate and testicular cancer and suicide. Members pledged to train for one minute for every $1 raised during the event. The $4374 raised at the weekend will be added to the $3399 already raised by PHP members who took part in Movember. PHP co-owner Ben Harvey said staff members had lost family and friends to cancer or witnessed others struggle with mental health. “These conditions not only impact those immediately affected but the support networks surrounding them,” he said. “Any amount of money raised, big or small, can go a long way.” “For us, the Movember Foundation represents a unique opportunity to raise awareness for men’s health issues.” The weekend fundraiser event included 24 hours of combat sports such as kickboxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai, MMA, karate, judo and wrestling.

NBN’s speed lottery Caroline Springs and surrounding suburbs will have full access to NBN broadband services early next year, but some residents are expressing concern over the make-up of the system. When the NBN was originally announced, homes in Caroline Springs were slated to be connected to the network through FTTC technology. FTTC (short for fibre-to-the-curb) technology delivers fibre to the footpath
outside a home. The fibre is then connected to a small distribution unit, from which existing copper lines deliver broadband to the premises. However NBN Co now plans to connect some homes to the network with FTTN (fibre-to-the-node) technology. The FTTN method has a fibre running to a mini-exchange, or node, near a home. It is considered inferior to FTTC by many. Caroline Springs resident Jorge Lopes said a move to FTTN technology would be a slap in the face for the community. “Caroline Springs has suffered with one of
the lowest internet speeds in the nation for a very long time,” Mr Lopes said. “I’ve personally experienced speeds as slow as 0.29 to 1.00 mps on a nightly basis.” He said the internet was a pivotal part of life in Caroline Springs, with its wide range of ages and diverse demographic. “Whether it be high school students, university students or people trying to work or run a business from home – to only get FTTN would be a slap in the face for the community,” he said. NBN Co public affairs manager James
Kaufman said that the technology built for each area depended on a number of variables. “In every suburb, including Caroline Springs, NBN assess which technologies are built based on minimum time and cost to the taxpayer, ensuring we use existing infrastructure,” he said. “It can also change as new technologies emerge. In some suburbs – Caroline Springs included – there may be multiple technologies.” Caroline Springs is due to receive network access through both FTTN and FTTC, but allocations have yet to be determined.

Bridge plan gets tick By Stella Tzobanakis A long-awaited $9.1 million upgrade of Westwood Drive has been given the green light. Melton council has been working for the past two years to secure state government approval for the construction of the Westwood Drive bridge. The council has received the go-ahead from Planning Minister Richard Wynne for a construction contract to be awarded to Cut and Fill Pty Ltd, which won the tender process.
The project will include: • A bridge over Kororoit Creek. • A new 950-metre road (from Tenterfield Drive to the bridge, then the bridge to Fydler Avenue). • The creation of a three-metre-wide path. • The connection of existing footpaths on the western side of the road. • The building of noise walls near existing houses along the new section of road. Melton mayor Bob Turner said the upgrades would take significant pressure off Caroline Springs Boulevard and Gourlay Road.
“Council has been working tirelessly over the past two years to make sure the Westwood Drive project gets off the ground,” Cr Turner said. “These upgrades will mean an easier and more relaxed commute through Caroline Springs for our residents and visitors to the area.” Construction will take between 12 and 14 months to complete, with the opening expected in early 2019. Contractors will begin work early next year.

Mount Cottrell fire battled Firefighters fought a large grass and scrub fire in Mount Cottrell last week. Crews were called to the incident at Dohertys Road on Wednesday, November 29, at 5.30pm. Thirty-six appliances from western Victorian brigades attended, along with multiple vehicles from the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. CFA and MFB firefighters worked together with the assistance of two Helitak fire tanks to battle the blaze. About 86 hectares were burned, with the fire under control by 8.15pm. Crews were on scene for an extended period of time mopping up and monitoring hot spots. The CFA issued a health warning because there was a significant amount of smoke in the area. Stella Tzobanakis

Young artists power up public works A new street art project has launched in Rockbank. Melton City Council, in partnership with Powercor and Woodlea, helped propel the Community Power Street Art project to showcase young artists’ work. Four artists – Kenz Kritpan, Elizabeth Hooker, Blake Poole and Frosk – submitted winning designs for the project which had the theme of community power. They created pieces for Powercor substation boxes across the Woodlea property development.
Melton mayor Bob Turner said he was encouraged by the quality of the work. “This is a fantastic initiative that provides a platform for artists to showcase their talents and creates vibrant and interesting spaces for locals to enjoy,” Cr Turner said. “This initiative is a great example of what can be achieved when we focus on developing the City of Melton to be an attractive place to live, while building strong engagement in arts and culture.” Artist Kenz Kritpan created an artwork

Melton and Moorabool received less rain than forecasts predicted, as thunderstorms and severe weather lashed parts of the state at the weekend. Suburbs around Melton received about 40 millimetres of rain, with Diggers Rest bearing the brunt of the rainfall at 42 millimetres. Bacchus Marsh received 38 millimetres while Ballan had a downpour of 37 millimetres. Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Michael Efron told Star Weekly that although the rain was not as severe as expected, it was still much higher than this time last year. Melton SES deputy controller operations Rod Frayser said volunteers braced for a much busier weekend. “It wasn’t as busy as we were expecting,” Mr Frayser said. “We had eight call-outs and most of those were for building damage.”

Melton jobs figures on the rise By Stella Tzobanakis Melton is in the midst of an employment boom, new census data has revealed. Latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data reveals that the Melton Local Government Area (LGA) had a 52 per cent job growth rate from 2011 to 2016. The data shows that job creation is outstripping the number of properties being built in the area. Some 8390 jobs were created in the period, compared with a 7968 increase in private dwellings.
Industries experiencing the strongest growth included construction (1002 jobs), education and training (996 jobs) and health care and social assistance (994 jobs). Western Victoria Labor MP Jaala Pulford said the jobs growth allows locals in the region to work closer to where they want to live. “Melton is in the midst of a jobs boom and the data proves it,” Ms Pulford said. “It means locals are spending less time on the roads commuting to and from work and more times doing the things they enjoy.” Ms Pulford said the state government’s Plan

Melbourne strategy ensured new communities are built with infrastructure, services, and employment options for locals. She said the strategy aimed to make the “20 Minute Neighbourhoods” a reality for every Melburnian, where everyday needs are met with a 20-minute walk, cycle or public
transport trip from home. The ABS data also reveals there were almost 300,000 jobs created in greater Melbourne – and more than three quarters were outside the central city. Ms Pulford said new communities are being built in Melbourne’s west with services and infrastructure, citing Mt Atkinson near Caroline Springs as an example. “The 1500-hectare precinct, south west of Caroline Springs, will feature more than 8000 dwellings and will become home to more than 22,000 people over the next 15 years,” Ms Pulford said.
Bras, boots and all The Western Districts Women’s Rugby team is collecting bras, boots and equipment for young women in Africa. Together with the Tag Rugby Trust charity, the Melton-based team hopes to gather as much equipment as it can to send to a women’s rugby team in Zambia. Tag Rugby Trust aims to improve the lives of disadvantaged youths in the UK and in the most underprivileged regions of the world including Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, India, Kenya, Mexico and Romania, through the game of tag rugby. Tag Rugby Trust participant, Natalie Weglarz, said: “In a country where violence against women is common, breaking gender role stereotypes starts with children. Raising funds and sports gear for a place where little funding exists for sport, let alone for females, goes a long way. “The Western Districts Women’s Rugby
team have been helping us collect sports bras, trainers, sports gear and equipment for the girls in Africa. “Every little bit counts. The team have been a huge help in collecting donations.” The Western Districts Women’s Rugby team comprises players from Melton, Brimbank and Footscray and is part of the Victorian Rugby Union.

Kinder help for disadvantaged By Stella Tzobanakis About 40 kindergarten places will be reserved for children from disadvantaged families in Melton next year. The reserved spots, part of the state government’s Pre-purchased Places Program for children of families who otherwise may not be able to attend kindergarten, were announced by Early Childhood Education Minister Jenny Mikakos. Under the program, places are held for children known to child protection services,

Strathtulloh, was one of the first service providers to be involved in the program across 2016-17. Ms Mikakos, who visited the Strathtulloh centre recently, also announced the program would become a permanent fixture of the kindergarten funding model. “We’re ensuring kindergarten is fair by making pre-purchased places permanent across Victoria because we know the huge difference kindergarten has on a child’s life,” Ms Mikakos said. “We’re making sure more Victorian families needing extra help in accessing kinder
don’t miss out on the enormous benefits early childhood services can have for their child.” Melton mayor Bob Turner said the program allowed more children across the city to access vital education. “We are so proud this program formed its roots in our wonderful city, and as a result, will be able to flourish across the rest of Victoria from now on,” he said. More than 650 pre-purchased places in will be available for families at about 230 services across Victoria next year – up from the 450 places this year.
Teneal is Borneo-bound Kurunjang Secondary College student Teneal Revell has been fundraising whenever and wherever she can to get herself on an expedition to Borneo. The 14-year-old was presented with the opportunity earlier this year to join a group of senior students travelling to Borneo. “I was so excited to learn about this opportunity, to travel out of Australia and help other kids and communities in need. I’m learning not to pass up opportunities that life has to offer,” Teneal said. Teneal needs to raise $4300 for her first deposit. She currently has a GoFundMe site, her own website, has created donation collection tins and is holding a fundraising garage sale. So far, she has raised $1325. Teneal’s mother, Amanda, said: “For a very shy, quiet and what I thought, a very non-adventurous person, to came home and tell me about the presentation and that she wanted
to go, it was amazing! Teneal is a very caring and thoughtful teen. Always putting others and their feelings before her own. She’s got a big heart and a good head on her shoulders, she will go far.” During the trip Teneal and her group will visit a number of camps, several different communities and get stuck into project work – anything from digging foundations, building desks, painting walls, laying cement and planting trees. Teneal’s fundraising garage sale will be held on December 17. To donate: www.teneal2borneo.com Dewi Sherry

Cash boost a win for wildlife By Stella Tzobanakis A local landcare group has received an $18,000 boost to help bring back native wildlife to the Melton region. Daryl Akers, secretary of the Melton South based-Pinkerton Landcare and Environment Group said they would spend the National Landcare Program funds on the Werribee River Volcanic Gorge Restoration Project. “We are restoring a stretch of criticallyendangered native grassland including a small section of the adjacent river escarpment; both
are threatened by weeds and rabbits,” Mr Akers said. “In turn, this will provide habitat for native wildlife, and create a nature link through the region.” Mr Akers said the Werribee River Volcanic Gorge provided a corridor that linked the large Wombat Forest in the Great Dividing Range – via the Lerderderg River – with Port Phillip Bay. He said in turn, it was “a vital link” in a flight path for migratory birds as they migrate from north to south.
“It is in fact the main wildlife corridor on the western basalt plains between Melbourne and the You Yangs,” Mr Akers said. “This wildlife corridor will become even more important, when much of the surrounding land will become urbanised in the future.” Mr Akers said the project would start immediately and was due to be completed in July 2018. The group was one of 15 to receive a National Landcare Program community grant from Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority for 2016-17.

Raising Christmas cheer Coles has launched its national Christmas campaign, raising funds to support children and young people with cancer and their families. Shoppers in Melton can help these families over the next four weeks by purchasing a $2 Redkite donation card with 100 per cent of proceeds going to Redkite, an official cancer charity. Customers can also help by purchasing a $1 Coles gingerbread man, with 20 cents from every sale going directly to the Redkite campaign until Christmas Day. Redkite head of fundraising, Isobel Lindley, said: “Unfortunately cancer doesn’t stop at Christmas and the pressure on families can be heightened when a child or young person is in hospital or very sick. By providing financial support, we can help with essentials like putting petrol in the car for those endless trips between hospital and home.”
Coles state general manager Mark O’Connor encouraged local shoppers to support the campaign to help take the pressure off families affected by cancer this Christmas. “We’re pleased to be raising funds for such a worthy cause and hope the local community will show their support for Redkite again this year,” he said.

Golden reward for Nicole By Stella Tzobanakis A Bacchus Marsh student has completed one of the most highly recognised youth development programs. Bacchus Marsh Grammar’s Nicole Farnell, 18, was one of 42 young Victorians to earn the Gold Duke of Edinburgh International Award during a ceremony at Parliament House in Melbourne. The award is a youth development program for Australians aged 14 to 25 to explore their potential, regardless of location or circumstance. Having just completed year 12, Ms Farnell said she was excited about finishing the program. “The award is an amazing achievement and allows for people to stand out within their community, whilst getting involved in new things,” she said. Ms Farnell said she had to complete bronze and silver categories before securing gold, which required completing activities in five sections; community service, physical recreation, skill, adventurous journey and a residential project. Volunteering with the Bacchus Marsh Guides, being a member of the Pentland Calisthenics College, a trip to Tasmania and mastering nail art were among the activities Ms Farnell undertook in her quest for gold. Ms Farnell said the program was a lot of work, but at the same time, very rewarding. “And rather than it being an extra burden, particularly when completing your VCE years, the Duke of Edinburgh activities get you to try new things and help relieve the stress levels of studies,” she said. “It’s been a great achievement and it has been great to have a huge support from the school to complete it.”

Melton gifts a tree of love Melton residents are being encouraged to donate gifts to the annual Melton Country Club wishing tree. Throughout December, residents are encouraged to provide gifts and toys that will then be distributed to families less fortunate and who cannot afford gifts for their children this Christmas. Functions and marketing co-ordinator, Naomi Colosimo, said: “Our aim is to request our staff, members and the community of Melton to please give a small gift for a child that will miss out on opening a present from Santa through no fault of their own. “The thought of a little boy or girl with no present to unwrap breaks our heart.” Residents can leave gifts under the tree at the club at 28-30 Reserve Road, Melton, until December 18. The toys will then be distributed to the less fortunate children of Melton by Melton City Council Family Services. Dewi Sherry

MY PLACE Fairyologist Kim Shaw talks to Dewi Sherry about her unusual Melton-based business.
I am the owner and creative director of Fairy Gardening Australia which is located at Western BACE, Melton South. How long have you lived/worked in the area? Fairy Gardening Australia moved to Melton almost a year ago and I have lived in the area for about 10 years. How long have you worked at Fairy Gardening Australia? I founded Fairy Gardening Australia seven years ago. Last year I decided to expand my business into wholesale distribution. I discovered Western BACE and felt it was the perfect fit. I have since opened a shop where locals can come and enjoy my fairy garden. How did you first get involved? I have been fairy gardening my whole life. As a child, I was always making little houses out of twigs and leaves for my fairy friends. My business is really just an extension of who I am and what I have always loved to do.
groups and skill levels. It appeals to first-time gardeners, experienced gardeners and everyone in between. It is really exciting to see people who have never had an interest in gardening create green spaces in and around their homes filled with magical delights. It makes my heart happy to be a part of that. What would people be surprised to know about you? I’m a certified fairyologist and I have dedicated my life to learning more about fairy folklore and history. I really do believe in fairies! I am also a champion breeder of dust bunnies, mum of three and was a Queen Scout many, many moons ago. What is the best thing about working in Melton? The community. Melton has embraced my quirky little shop and been incredibly supportive. The other day a lady told me that she heard about Fairy Gardening Australia from the members of her quilting club. It is wonderful to have the locals talking about what I do and suggesting that their friends visit me!
What are you passionate about?
If you could change anything about the area, what would it be?
People creating magical spaces. It is wonderful to see kids and adults embracing the magic of fairy gardening. The great thing about fairy gardening is that it expands across all age
I don’t have anything to change about Melton, I think it’s great. All the other businesses around me are very supportive and there is a real sense of community.

Gaol house rocks for kids By Ewen McRae Parents looking for a fun way to fill a day these school holidays could do a lot worse than putting their kids behind bars. The Old Melbourne Gaol has announced an all-new, limited edition experience exclusively for children. Escape the Gaol will run all through summer school holidays. The immersive and educational activity is aimed at ages six and up. Participants will have the opportunity to become inmates and must explore the gaol to discover all the necessary clues to create the perfect escape plan, without being discovered by the prison guards. Each ‘prisoner’ will be given a notebook containing a number of riddles, which must be deciphered in order to receive directions to hidden clues. Once the clues are discovered, prisoners must then hunt through the gaol to uncover the answers to pull off a fool-proof escape plan. National Trust of Australia (Victoria), chief executive Simon Ambrose said Escape the Gaol is the perfect addition for family school holiday itineraries and an experience not to be missed. “Escape the Gaol aims to engage the younger generation through a fun and interactive activity that also encourages learning about Melbourne’s rich criminal history,” Mr Ambrose said. “By offering an immersive experience, we are reimagining the ways that families and tourists alike, can experience one of Melbourne’s iconic historical landmarks.”

Since its opening in 1845, the Old Melbourne Gaol has held some of Australia’s most dangerous criminals, including the infamous Ned Kelly. Today, visitors can experience what it was like for the men and women who were held at the Gaol all those years ago. The Old Melbourne Gaol is open daily from 9.30am to 5pm, with the exception of Christmas Day and Good Friday. The Escape the Gaol experience will be available for a limited time only, from Tuesday, December 26, 2017 to Friday, January 26, 2018.

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir gets on board the hot pot train This interesting new addition to the Footscray scene is at the parking lot right at the end of Hopkins Street, facing Franco Cozzo and Centrelink. It’s an unlovely location; a couple of previous businesses here made little impression. The new owners/proprietors are trying very hard to make it otherwise, with a substantial makeover finding the space much brighter and livelier. As for food, well they’re keeping their bases covered there, too. Yes, as the name implies, there’s hot pot and Viet-style BBQ. But for lunch there’s a $15 line-up of pho and hi tieu soup noodles. And there’s a short list of Viet-meets-west steak, chips and salad, mostly also priced at $15. We – CTS, Bennie and our good pal Justin – leave the BBQ option for another time and go instead for the hot pot buffet. This costs $32 per head for dinner, $35 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights – and $25 for lunch. We figure, or hope, this will be a tasty bargain. So it proves to be – though we have a few quibbles. The way this works here is new for me. They use a conveyor belt to deliver the hot pot items. Each diner has their own adjustable hot plate, on which is placed their soup of choice. I go for the spicy. It has the same deep and mysterious seasoning I am familiar with from other hot pot joints, but is only mildly spicy. Justin and Bennie enjoy the laksa. We are also provided our own individual
VIET HOT POT AND BBQ Address: 6/68 Hopkins Street, Footscray Phone: 8578 1763 bowls of seafood – a couple of good-sized prawns, a won ton, a scallop and a big chunk of blue swimmer crab. The crab and prawns are pre-cooked, but still good. From there, it’s on to the very many conveyor belt goodies. There’s green veg of various kinds, as well the likes of corn; straight-ahead meat is down to sliced beef and pork; there’s fungus of several varieties; there’s surimi of various shapes and sizes; there’s noodles; there’s more seafood – I find the mussels nicely tender; and the small pipis are good, too. There are many things that appear to be starchy and carby. And there is offal. We think. Because when it comes to many of the offerings we are very much left wondering. We ask for help, but not even the staff member who appears to be the floor manager offers much by way of enlightenment. This is a bit disheartening. But we do eat well and very affordably. And I have more than enough confidence in the adaptability of Vietnamese cooking to be looking forward to trying one of this place’s steak ‘n’ chips meals.

Enrolments are being taken for 2018 following a complete renovation to the establishment previously known as Pelican’s Early Learning.
Kat asked what was missing in early-learning education and the surprising result informed the team’s prep-readiness program.
Miguel Maestre (of The Living Room fame) has teamed up with Paisley Park, the 20-strong Australia-wide early learning specialists, to help create meals that are diverse, freshly cooked on-site every day, organic where possible and that use vegetables and fruits grown by the children. The educational program, too, has had a thorough overhaul. Co-Founder Kat Wieczorek-Ghisso is an early learning specialist and education lecturer. She has created a program in consultation with primary school educators and government education specialists.
“We are big believers in the healthy body, healthy mind philosophy – and as such all of our centres have gardens which the children enjoy tending. “Independence, social and emotional resilience, They bring their produce into the kitchen and self-esteem and general social skills were lacking sometimes help prepare some things as a part of in children coming through the ranks, as opposed building resilience and social skills.” to the ABCs-and-123s type education that many Early intervention services for those who may have parents fret over,” Kat says. developmental needs and a school preparation “Of course, those fundamentals are covered, program are other features. in-line with the state’s educational framework, but we really took that feedback to heart and made it a focus of our program and the children are truly flourishing because of it.
“We have proper cutlery, crockery and glassware and the children quickly learn to use and respect these,” Kat says.
“It is lovely for the children and healthy eating “Using food and meal-time as a framework to habits are flowing back to the children’s families, focus on these skills, the outcome is healthier, with meal times said to be becoming more of a more socially adaptable and happy children. focus, which as everyone knows is so important
for thriving families. “We are having an open house this Sunday, December 10 from 10am to 2pm and welcome families to come along, take a look at what we’ve created and meet Centre Director Penny and her team of passionate educators. “There will be fun activities for littlies such as a jumping castle, face painting, balloon artist, as well as a gourmet sausage sizzle and snacks.

feature all through. On the foyer’s other side, a study or fifth bedroom is behind double doors. Behind double doors from the lounge room, there’s a big games/rumpus room with a glass slider to gardens and fun zone – think a spa with its own cute shelter, and a sinuously shaped, solar-heated paver-edged pool, the surrounds greened up with a feature palm and other dense tropical plantings. Oh, and a velvety swathe of lawn sports a putting green. Back inside, multi-paned french doors at foyer’s end open to the tiled living hub,
with both sitting and meals zones within wide bays; a wood heater delivers winter cosiness. Beneath a downlight-studded dropped ceiling, the large black-and-white kitchen has a walk-in pantry, scads of other storage and all the mod-cons. Upstairs, ranged around an expansive living room, are four fitted bedrooms, main bathroom and separate toilet. The extra-big main bedroom, with bay window, has a walk-in robe and a large, burgundy-and-cream en suite with a spa beneath corner windows.

A large covered deck with bistro blinds also connects effortlessly with the pool and, for hobbyist/man-caver, there’s a 10 x 6-metre shed. This impressive property, with double garage (internal access), is a three-minute drive from Melton Waves Leisure Centre and just a tad further from Woodgrove Shopping Centre. For families, at least four schools – primary and secondary – are less than five minutes away. Carole Levy 21 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 5, 2017

New research reveals property vendors admit they find it difficult choosing the right real estate agent, with four in five home owners revealing they would like industry-set criteria to help them choose the best real estate agent. LocalAgentFinder.com.au chief executive Matt McCann said: “The findings come from a nationally representative, independent survey of Australian home owners commissioned by our company. “According to the findings, 73 per cent of Aussie home owners believe choosing a suitable real estate agent is ‘hit and miss’ – that you can never be sure you have found the right one.” Survey results showed that of respondents who have sold property, 41 per cent admitted it took them more than two weeks to choose a suitable real estate agent – that includes the search, calls, meetings and interviews before making the choice. The most common factor vendors search for (29 per cent of respondents) is a good track record of sales success – in price achieved and days on market. Local knowledge and local sales experience was the second most common factor (for 17 per cent of respondents); followed by lower commission (16 per cent). Surprisingly, the number of years’ experience of an agent did not rate highly, nor did a low or no marketing budget, with 0.8 per cent and 2 per cent choosing this as the number one factor, respectively. Older generations more than younger age groups rated trustworthiness as important – 20 per cent of people in their 50s and 16 per cent over-60s, versus 7 per cent of those in their 20s, and 10 per cent of people in their 30s. Lower commission was the number one

Do your research before choosing an agent to sell your property
reason cited by 21 per cent of people aged in their 40s, the highest of any age group, versus 10 per cent of over-60s. “While the perception is that vendors focus on fees and commissions, our results
show that commission is not as important as an agent with a good track record of sales success and strong local knowledge and experience,” Mr McCann said. “Home owners looking for the right agent
to sell their home should ask the right questions. “A good agent, for example, should be able to demonstrate how they will achieve the best price for the property.”

SPORT New head of operations brings a wealth of experience Jordan Doyle has been appointed the new Riddell District Football Netball League operations manager. Doyle, who spent four years working at AFL Victoria as the Western Jets’ football operations co-ordinator, started in the role late last month. He takes over from Steve Williams who had two years in the role. Doyle said he was excited by the challenge ahead. “Rod [Ward] has given me an opportunity and it’s an exciting one to be involved with,” he said. “I’ve been involved in club [environment] and now I’m getting the opportunity to manage a league. “I’m starting fresh and I’ve got no history with the league. They don’t know me and I don’t know them, so there’s no preconceived ideas and opinions about people, so it’s exciting.” Doyle said he hoped to bring some of his experiences from the various clubs he’s been
involved in to his new job. As well as working for the Western Jets, Doyle played and coached football at Westbourne Grammarians and also played football at Spotswood and Williamstown CYMS. He’s also coached and been a committee member at Williamstown Cricket Club. He has a sport and recreation management and bachelor of business degree as well as having completed a masters of business administration. “It’s a great opportunity to work with clubs and build relationships with them,” Doyle said. “It’s about trying to understand what the clubs want … at times I’ll put my club hat on to understand what the clubs are thinking.” Doyle said continuing the growth of the league at senior and junior level was something he was keen to continue. He said the league was starting to become a destination league.
AFL Goldfields regional general manager Rod Ward said he was excited about the appointment of Doyle. “Jordan has quality experience in football operations in the TAC Cup with the Western Jets and his experience at such a prominent level in football with AFL Victoria will make him a great asset to work with and assist clubs and their members in the RDFNL.” Ward thanked Williams for his work over the past two years. Williams will finish up on December 15. In other AFL Goldfields staff appointments, Shane Anwyl is the new Ballarat Football Netball League operations manager and Mitch Tinning will take on the same role in the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League.

T20 matches beat the rain
Shanel, Tia, Dakota, Brioni and Jayde are part of Melton Junior Football Club’s growing girls’ teams. (Mark Wilson)
Calling all new recruits By Tara Murray Melton Junior Football Club is taking the next step in growth of its female junior football development program. After having one team this year, the Bloods are looking to field three age groups next year. The club will again have a junior under-13 girls side, along with an under-15 and under-18 youth girls side, all playing the AFL Goldfields competition. This year AFL Goldfields had only two age groups. Bloods vice-president John Lennon said the committee was determined to make the commitment to put in three teams. “The club really supports female football and wants to be a part of it,” he said. “We had an under-13 girls team and were looking to have under-17s, but they’ve changed age groups and added an extra one and we’re looking at having teams in both. 48 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 5, 2017
“We’re starting from scratch with the program.” Lennon said they already had player interest in all three sides. They had 18 players in the junior girl’s team this year and already had about 10-12 players interested for next year. They also have a similar number of players interested for the under-15s and under-18s. Lennon said they were looking for players of all abilities to join the three sides. “We’re looking to fill the gaps,” he said. “We’ve started to put together a list of girls who have been just playing school football,” he said. “We’re looking for a mixture of girls. Some who have played school football and don’t have a club and are considering playing outside the school system, and we’re also looking for new players who want to join a good family club.” Lennon, who is also the girls co-ordinator,
said they hoped that playing three girls’ sides would eventually lead to the club establishing a senior women’s team. “It’s one step at a time and we’re happy to do the groundwork and development of it,” he said. “We want to get that continuity happening.” The Bloods are looking for coaches for both the under-15 and under-18 sides. The coaches of the junior girls’ side will again lead the side next year. On Tuesday, December 5, the Bloods are having a come and try day for any players who are interested in joining. Lennon said they would have more come-and-try days in the new year for players who can’t make this one. The come-and-try session will be held at Blackwood Drive Reserve’s second oval between 5 and 6pm. For more details, contact John Lennon on femalefooty@meltonjfnc.com.au or 0414 445 798
While heavy rain at the weekend played havoc with cricket across the state, many players had their weekly fix earlier in the week. The Gisborne and District, Victorian Sub-district, Victorian Turf and Ballarat cricket associations all had T20 fixtures on Tuesday night. In the GDCA, the semi-finalists for both the premier and district competitions were decided. Riddell, Woodend and Romsey all won through to the premier division semi-finals after winning both their matches. Bacchus Marsh’s loss to Gisborne cost it fourth spot. Gisborne made 4-150 on the back of 75 not out from skipper Jarryd Vernon. That proved to be enough, with the Bulls falling just short in making 141. It meant Gisborne finished fifth, just percentage behind fourth-placed Rupertswood, which easily accounted for Sunbury on Tuesday. In district division, Eynesbury made finals despite having points deducted for playing an unregistered player. It will play Macedon for a spot in the grand final, while Wallan will host Kyneton in the other semi-final. Another team to seal a finals berth was Sydenham-Hillside in the VTCA T20 competition. The Sharks finished on top of the Melton group. The Sharks defeated Melton South Royals on Tuesday night in the third round of matches to seal their spot. The Sharks won all three of their matches. The top side from each group and the next best four teams all go through to the quarter-finals. In the BCA, Darley opened its Major League T20 Cup campaign with a strong win against North Ballarat. The Lions made 112, bowled out with five balls remaining. Matt Cape top-scored with 35 off 27 balls. The Lions then bowled North Ballarat out for 83. The news wasn’t as good for Melton, which is out of the VSDCA T20 competition after one round. On Tuesday night, the Lions lost to St Bernards OC. St Bernards made 6-163 and the Lions replied with 8-154. Tara Murray

What started three years ago with less than 20 girls for some skills sessions, is now a fully fledged competition with two different age groups. GDCA girls cricket co-ordinator Angela Dempsey is thrilled with the response to the competition. “We have 10 teams, four in the under-12s and six in the under-15s,” she said. “Last year we had 48 girls come and play at a central location and we’ve now got close to 80 girls representing their clubs, which is a great increase. “The biggest thing is the girls want to play. We had to cancel Friday night and all the parents were asking about a catch-up round as the girls don’t want to miss out on games.”
Riddell and Bacchus Marsh have two teams each, while Rupertswood, Gisborne, Hanging Rock, Woodend, Wallan and Kyneton have all fielded teams. Dempsey said some clubs, which only have one team, are already thinking about getting a second team up for next season. Gisborne has had success with its under-15 side and is looking to field a second team. Gisborne’s Gary Sanders, who has long been involved with women’s and girl’s cricket, said it had been exciting to be a part of. “Jake McIntyre, who is a PE teacher, got a side together for a Gisborne Primary School,” Sanders said. “They were pretty keen to keep playing and are now playing for Gisborne in this competition.” The school team competed in the finals of the Central Highlands T20 school competition,
missing out on the final by percentage. In the GDCA competition, Sanders said all the girls were making contributions. The Dragons have one win from their three matches, which also includes a draw. “Monty Paton has made 43 runs and taken three wickets and Natasha Ward has made 15 runs and taken five wickets,” Sanders said. “Zoe Phillips, Caitlyn Wagstaff and Olivia Murray have each taken wickets, while Zoe Smyth, Lily Reid, Imogen Withington and Ebony Spiteri have contributed runs in different games.” Dempsey said any players, or even clubs that wanted to put in teams, could play in the second half of the season which starts in February.

Rain drenches cricket hopes
Boxer Darcy Ellis ramps up his preparation in the Team Ellis Gym on Saturday. (Mark Wilson)
Ringing in the next Ellis By Lance Jenkinson Son of a gun Darcy Ellis turned heads when his first career professional boxing match lasted all of 90 seconds before he landed the knockout blow. It was enough for the Taylors Hill fighter to get a taste of what to expect going into his second professional bout against Thai-born Queenslander Chaiyan Sakkoed at the Melbourne Pavilion this Friday night. “I landed that shot in the first round and that was all she wrote,” Ellis said. “I was lucky enough in my first fight to have experienced people in my corner, so they were constantly sending me in the right direction.” Interest in Ellis’s boxing career is heightened by his rich pedigree in the sport. The 21-year-old’s dad is Lester Ellis, a world champion of his generation. He treats Barry Michael, another world champion, “as family”. The boxing legends are on hand to offer Ellis advice, but keep their distance and let him land on his own feet in the sport. Another reason is that Ellis is part of the Team Ellis team, which consists of Ellis’s cousin
Heath, as trainer; brother Jake, as promoter and assistant trainer; and his mother Sharon, who he describes as “a blessing”, as the dietician. Not once has Darcy second-guessed his decision to step into the ring, even if the first question asked to Lester is invariably whether he wanted his sons to follow in his footsteps. “I love the lifestyle, I like the dedication and the rewards that come from boxing,” Ellis said. “I want to be the type of fighter who is always in the gym, always ready, so when it’s time to fight I don’t have to go into a training camp because I’m always training, my weight is good and I’m always fit. “I’m happy to put the work in to get the rewards and it makes me happy, so that’s why I do it.” If Ellis is ever lacking motivation, he only needs to look into the family video collection for inspiration. He has always seen Lester as his idol and enjoys hearing stories from way back about his dad’s glittering boxing career. “I don’t really get over or get annoyed when people say ‘your dad did this’ or ‘your dad did that’ because my dad is my idol,” Ellis said. “I watched my dad’s tapes every day and I
probably annoy him more than anything. I reckon he’s probably sick of hearing about me nowadays when people talk to him about his son fighting!” Ellis is focused on becoming the best fighter he can be. Whether it takes him all the way to the top or just on local pro fights in Melbourne, he is determined to maximise his talent. For the next week, Ellis’s sole focus is on beating Sakkoed in their light welterweight showdown. “It’s hard to think about the future when the fight is so close,” Ellis said. Ellis, who trains at the Team Ellis Gym in East Keilor, will step into the ring in Flemington on Friday night with the full house sign likely to be up. While he admits to a bit of pre-fight nerves, once he walks out to the roar of a 1500-strong crowd, he is in his own sporting heaven. “I like it when there’s more people there, it’s more of a buzz and just more excitement,” Ellis said. “In the change rooms you’re pretty nervous, but as soon as you walk in and hear ‘ding, ding, ding’ and the first round goes, pretty much everything is quiet and it’s him and me.”
Eynesbury and St Anthonys were among the few teams to take to the field on Saturday, but rain cut short their matches in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association B-grade. Unlike most other competitions, the GDCA did not call off its matches before the weekend. However wet conditions on Saturday meant most games didn’t go ahead. Eynesbury and Wallan faced off in Melton South, with both sides keen to return to the winners’ list. Wallan was in the box seat, having made 375 on day one. The Eagles’ chase didn’t start well, with Reece Andrew out for a duck and skipper Hayden Castle made just 14. At 4-66 things didn’t look good for the Eagles. Playing coach Luke Castle and Liam Norris set about rescuing the innings and took the score past 100. Norris fell for nine not much later and Castle was run out for 50 when the score was 118. The Eagles pushed to 6-166 at tea but that would be the end of play as the rain set in. St Anthonys was well on its way to defeating Kyneton when rain washed out play at Kyneton. The Saints had Kyneton at 5-68, in reply to 366. Bacchus Marsh’s second side also took to the pitch in B-grade. The Bulls looked in control of their run chase against Gisborne before the game was called off. The Bulls were 2-82 in reply to 180, when an early tea was called due to rain. Players didn’t return to the field. In the McIntyre Cup, Romsey had a strong win against Sunbury United in the only game to be completed. No play was possible in the other four matches which all ended in draws. Tara Murray 49 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 5, 2017

Toyota LE is something special By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring

for the same road speed. Drop the Toyota down a gear or two, give it a bootfull and enjoy the ride – there’s no turbocharger and the engine responds virtually instantly. Handling is exceptionally good and the LE’s new Sachs system is even more responsive than that in the others in the 86 range. Clever design means ride comfort doesn’t really seem any different from the standard Toyota 86.
The front sport seats provide good support but aren’t too aggressive in the shape of the side bolsters. Nevertheless, if your legs and back are not as young as they used to be, you may struggle to get in and out. Noise from the tyres is generally subdued, but some harsh surfaces, particularly concrete and coarse-chip, do increase sound intrusion. Though this isn’t likely to faze a full-on keen driver may we suggest you check this for

yourself if harsh roads are part of your – and other occupants’ – lives. At $41,490, the Limited Edition 86 costs significantly more than the $36,490 GTS on which it’s based, but in the world of high-performance that’s the penalty you have to pay. Would I buy an 86 LE? Most certainly – the appearance and excellent on-road performance make it something special.
12373378-CG48-17 10061519-01
In a world that’s moving at breakneck speed a five-year old car such as the Toyota 86 can need a freshen-up to keep it in the minds of potential buyers. A clever marketing move is the introduction of limited editions that can take on an aura of exclusivity. Hence the Toyota LE. Only 60, all in a wild orange shade, came Down Under a couple of months back. We’ve just spent a most enjoyable week in one. The Toyota 86 has plenty of other changes under that stunning skin. Genuine sports changes by way of a stiffer Sachs suspension and larger Brembo brakes (four-calliper front, two-calliper rear) than those on the 86 GTS, on which the LE is based. Toyota tells us the styling of the 86 was inspired by the 1965 Toyota 2000GT, a sports model that’s being auctioned these days for more than a million dollars. The black details on the LE set off its wild paint brilliantly. A different design of 17-inch 10-spoke alloys ties in nicely with the body colour and makes it easy to see the big Brembos. Inside the 86 LE there’s a suede dashboard with – of course – orange stitching. The seats and steering wheel get the same treatment. The Toyota/Subaru 2.0-litre flat-four engine was revised in late 2016, lifting it from 200 horsepower to 207 bhp (152 kW if you like metric engine numbers). If you don’t want a six-speed manual, tough luck – that’s all you get in this cool little sports machine. At the same time as the 2016 upgrade, the differential ratio was reduced to get grunt to the road by way of having the engine at higher revs

The biggest news is that both automatics are now eight-speed units (up from six), permitting lower ratios at the bottom for round-town work and a high top gear for very comfortable cruising.
Powertrain
The 3.5-litre petrol engine is virtually all-new for Sorento. Though the outputs (206 kW and 306 Nm) are only slightly higher than before, the torque spread has been widened and emissions and fuel consumption are lower.

Kia has given its medium-large Sorento SUV a facelift aimed at giving it a more purposeful appearance. But the biggest changes are out of sight, with new engines and transmission, and added infotainment features and safety. SUVs are all the rage and the revised Kia Sorento is in there to play its part. As before, it’s sold with a choice of petrol and diesel engines and either two- or all-wheel drive.

We took a range of 2018 Kia Sorentos on a sensible drive program organised by Kia out of Sydney airport as part of the launch. Ride comfort is good as changes have been made to the suspension and steering by the Kia team of Australian and South Korean engineers. The emphasis has been moved slightly to the comfort direction in the eternal ride-versus-handling equation. We feel they have got it spot on. Noise and vibration reduction is impressive,
