Fountain’s future up in air Melton councillors are considering returning a Caroline Springs fountain to full operation, despite a recommendation it remain inactive. The Springlake fountain was installed at the estate by land developer Delfin in 1999 as a marketing tool. When Delfin’s obligations at the estate concluded in 2013, Melbourne Water elected not to continue operating the fountain. The fountain has remained inactive since and is not considered to be in working order. A report authored by operations manager Les Stokes exploring three options for the fountain was presented to the council at last month’s meeting. The report explored the possibility of returning the fountain to full operation, replacing it with a smaller one and leaving it turned off. Mr Stokes said the fountain served no purpose to improve water quality and, given the significant cost associated with resuming operations, recommended it remain inactive. But Cr Kathy Majdlik put forward a motion that recommissioning the fountain to full operation be referred to the 2018-19 budget discussion. The motion was carried. It is estimated returning the fountain to its original state would cost about $44,000 and running and servicing it would cost $23,000 a year.

West hit by ‘crime wave’ By Charlene Macaulay Melbourne’s western suburbs are suffering from a crime wave that is being ignored, according to the state opposition. Amid continuing community concern, particularly over the rise of African youth violence, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy has renewed his vow to make Caroline Springs’ police station a 24-hour operation if elected in November. “Like every part of Melbourne, I think the west is suffering from a crime wave that is being ignored by the state government,” Mr

Guy told Star Weekly. “Crime is up more than 20 per cent since Daniel Andrews came to power, and he’s put out a lot of press releases, but has done not much to actually deal with the crime wave. “We want to make Caroline Springs a 24-hour police station considering the extent of the population growth in the north-west. “We also want to bring in bail reform, mandatory sentencing for offences against the person, and more to the point, change the attitude in the justice system so that the justice system works for those people who obey the law, not protect those who break it.

“It’s not just about the numbers of police any more; it is primarily about the criminal justice system. “I think it’s important for Victoria that those key violent acts against the people – whether it’s home invasions, car jackings, assaults – people who are repeatedly doing this, have a mandatory sentence. “What we’re seeing in Victoria today is these violent offenders who [commit crime] once, they get bailed, then they do it while they’re on bail, and they get let off … and it takes about four or five offences before they’re incarcerated. “Think of all those people who are hurt on

those four or five offences along the way who would not have been hurt had these people been subject to a mandatory sentence on the second offence.” The state government did not respond by the time Star Weekly went to press. Mr Guy’s comments come as a new wave of violence hit Melbourne’s western suburbs over the Christmas period. Police are this week continuing to hunt a large group of African men following a violent crime spree which included two assaults, home invasions, a police pursuit and robbery last Thursday night across Brimbank.

Councils pound out new plan By Tate Papworth Six western suburbs councils are exploring the possibility of establishing a western regional animal pound. Melton, Brimbank Wyndham, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley city council’s are currently conducting a feasibility study to determine whether such a pound is viable. Brimbank city development acting director Kristen Gilbert said Brimbank had partnered with neighbouring councils in an effort to deal with animal management.

“Council has been involved with other neighbouring councils in exploring the possibility of a regional pound facility to service the growth area of the west,” she said. “This is still in the early stages of investigation.” The study is being spearheaded by Wyndham, which had almost 150 dog attacks reported for the 2016-17 financial year. In Brimbank, there was a 64 per cent spike in the number of reported dog attacks in the same period – 163, up from 99.

In Melton, planning and development general manager Luke Shannon said 18 cases were expected to go to court. “Melton City council takes a zero tolerance approach to dog attacks,” he said. “Each dog attack reported to council is thoroughly investigated. “In 2017, 18 dog attack matters were deemed serious enough to be lodged in the Magistrates’ Court. “A further 18 are expected to be prepared and lodged.” At its December meeting, Melton

council revealed its animal management plan. The plan, which is updated every four years, includes a goal of increasing public awareness as to what constitutes a dog attack and to encourage the reporting of such incidents. It also places high priority on decreasing the time taken by community members to report dog attacks. As of June last year, there were 13 declared dangerous dogs, 20 declared menacing dogs and 10 restricted-breed dogs registered in Melton.

Hume Drive overhaul starts

OLIVIA AND ARISTIDIS BOSIDIS AND OLIVIA CAUSOVSKI

Ballkid duty nets a whole lot of fun Three Brimbank juniors will be an integral part of one of world tennis’ biggest events. The teenagers – siblings Olivia and Aristidis Bosidis from Hillside and Olivia Causovski from Taylors Lakes – have been selected as ballkids for the Australian Open, which starts on January 15. They are part of a squad of 350 chosen from a field of more than 2500 applicants. After completing a rigorous five-stage try-out period that began in March last year, Olivia Bosidis said she was eager for the main event to begin.

“I’m really excited about the opportunity,” she said. “I watch a lot of tennis … it’s really exciting to think that I could ballkid for them.” Ms Bosidis is no stranger to the big stage, with 2018 marking her fourth stint as a ballkid at the open. “Given my age, this will be the final time I get to be a ballkid, so I’m looking to go out on a high,” she said. “Each year, the best ballkid is selected by a panel of judges and they get to go over to France and ballkid the French Open, which is something I’d love to do.

“I’d really love to ballkid for Roger Federer or Maria Sharapova, who are my favourite players on each side of the draw.” Ms Bosidis’ ballkid career isn’t short on highlights. “I’ve been pretty lucky,” she said. “I was able to ballkid in a match with Stan Wawrinka a little while back. And once, when I was getting ready to go out on court, I turned to my left and Rafael Nadal was standing right next to me, which was quite surreal.” Tate Papworth

Duplication of Hume Drive is set to begin after Melton City Council gave the project the green light. Construction is expected to begin later this month after the council awarded the contract for the works to ACE Infrastructure Pty Ltd at its December 18 council meeting. Hume Drive will be expanded from a two-lane road, to a four-lane road, between Calder Park Drive, Taylors Hill, and Copperfield Drive, Delahey. A section of the road falls within the municipal boundaries of the City of Brimbank. Traffic signals will also be installed at the intersection of Hume Drive and Overton Lea Boulevard. Existing roundabouts will be upgraded and landscaping works will be completed. The improvements will be jointly funded by Melton and Brimbank councils. Melton council will contribute about $3.54 million to the $4.46 million project. Construction is expected to be completed by mid to late 2018.

Hunt for firebugs Police are calling for help following a suspicious fire in Burnside Heights. It is believed three teenagers set fire to an abandoned mattress in the Burnside Heights Recreation Reserve, just off Cunningham Chase, about 7pm on December 27. The fire spread through nearby grassland before being extinguished by the CFA. No property was directly damaged during the fire. Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000

Animal owners spark praise

Traffic lights are operational at the Kings and Taylors road intersection in Delahey.

(Marco De Luca)

Road relief in Delahey By Tate Papworth Upgrade work on the Kings and Taylors road intersection in Delahey is almost complete. The roundabout at the intersection has been removed and replaced with traffic lights. A raised intersection to slow traffic has also been installed. VicRoads metro north-west operations

director Fatima Mohamed said the upgrade would boost traffic flow and reduce travel time, particularly in morning and afternoon peaks. “These changes will … make the intersection safer and, importantly, allow drivers to get where they need to go on time,” she said. “Tens of thousands of drivers, pedestrians

and cyclists use the Kings and Taylors road intersection every day, with residents finally getting this long-awaited upgrade.” The upgrade also features new bicycle lanes, a new pedestrian crossing and upgraded footpaths designed to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The upgrade is scheduled for completion early this year, subject to weather conditions.

RSPCA Victoria is praising dog owners for their handling of pets during New Year’s Eve fireworks. In total, 56 stray dogs were brought into RSPCA Victoria animal care centres between New Year’s Eve and Tuesday, January 2, less than half the number of animals received by shelters in the same period the year before. RSPCA Victoria chief executive Liz Walker said it was pleasing that pet owners appeared to be heeding advice on how to care for their animals amid stressful situations such as fireworks. “Animals and fireworks simply do not mix,” Dr Walker said. “We all love to celebrate the beginning of a new year, but fireworks, particularly illegal displays, cause distress in many animals, including dogs, cats and horses. “Our pets are part of the family, so it’s encouraging to see owners taking extra precautions to ensure their dogs are safely contained at this time of year.” The positive trend around Victoria was reflected in Brimbank, with the council receiving just two calls for lost dogs after New Year’s Eve celebrations. Both dogs were found safe. While the danger period is over, Dr Walker said those who were still seeking lost pets should continue to search their local shelters. “We have stray dogs being brought into RSPCA Victoria shelters for up to a week into the new year,” she said.

It’s been labelled Melton’s largest party on water. Three days of high-octane speedboat action will take place on Melton’s Exford Weir next month with the Melbourne Runabout and Speedboat Club’s (MRSBC) staging of the Gold Cup. Spectators can expect some of the best closed-water speedboat action Australia has to offer. This year, the MRSBC has again partnered with Beyondblue for the event. Last year’s event raised more than $24,000 for the charity. “That was a great achievement for our club and we only wish to outdo ourselves this year,” MRSBC Commodore Robert Psaila said. There will be a number of major races in various categories, culminating in the Melton Gold Cup. Melton City Council will be an official sponsor of the event. Melton mayor Cr Bob Turner said the council has had a long-standing relationship with the Melton Gold Cup. “The Melton Gold Cup is one of the premium power boat racing events in the country, and we’re excited to see the highly successful event return this year,” Cr Turner said. “Beyondblue undertakes outstanding work across the City of Melton, and beyond. I commend the Melbourne Runabout and Speedboat Club for supporting the charities, and raising awareness of their achievements in our community.” Entry to the event is by gold coin, with proceeds going to Beyondblue. The three full days of racing will be held over February 2-4. Details: www.mrsbc.com.au

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir uncovers a new chapter in Sudanese cooking Jibrine Akima Magdaline Jok wears a number of hats. She’s a Caroline Springs mother of four children. She’s a successful career woman in the finance sector. She’s a proud member of the South Sudanese community in Melbourne and Australia. And now she’s the author and publisher of a fabulous South Sudanese cookbook. So far as she and I can ascertain, it’s the first South Sudanese cookbook – ever. The book was borne of her love of cooking and, more specifically, through a visit to her mother in Africa that came after more than a decade of separation. She has been inspired, too, by the thought that food traditions can be a profound community glue in fraught times of war, refugees and families scattered to the four winds around the globe. “When I visited my mum, we cooked every day and I heard all the stories,� Jibrine says. “I spent most of my time jotting down notes and practising the dishes that she made on a daily basis. “This advice she shared stays with me: ‘The more time, patience, love and passion you have for cooking meals, the greater the taste’.� I am in awe of Jibrine’s efforts in scrambling up an Everest-like learning curve to bring this project to life. She’s obviously very capable – but until now she had zero experience with writing, editing,

publishing, cookbooks, translation and more. On top of all that, she has successfully created a book of more than 100 recipes directly from the maternal source – bringing to life in the written word recipes previously transmitted only by the verbal/visual folk methods of “a handful of this, and a pinch of that�. Like all great cookbooks, Jibrine’s effort can be seen as an end in itself – it’s beautiful to handle and read, and the photographs are simple, honest and not inappropriately styled in terms of glam. There’a strong accent on a wide variety of stews – meat, poultry, fish, pulses. The recipes appear to be straightforward and well presented, and most of the ingredients of the easily obtainable variety. In some ways, Jibrine’s cookbook journey is just beginning. The challenge now is to get that book and those recipes into the kitchens of foodies everywhere. To buy a copy of South Sudanese Family Cookbook, try Lueth Variety Shop, 10B Paisley Street, Footscray. Phone 9687 4097. It costs $30. Or email Jibrine on jibrinem@yahoo.com

19 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 9, 2018


SPORT Consistency is the key to finals for Caroline Springs Caroline Springs knows every game is vital in the second half of the season as it looks to move into the Victorian Turf Cricket Association north A1 top four. Currently sitting fifth, Caroline Springs faces three of the top four sides in the run home and wins against those sides should see it move up the ladder. Caroline Springs captain Kane Sevior said they know they have to play consistent cricket over the rest of the season to have a chance of finishing in the top four. “We didn’t set the aim of playing finals, but it

would be nice if we could make them. “It’ll be an interesting few weeks and if we play finals we will have earned our spot. “We’ve got a couple of games against the top sides and it’s a good opportunity. If we’re going to get there, we need to show we can beat the top teams now.” Sevior said it had been an interrupted start to the season, with rain, heat and walkovers meaning they haven’t taken to the park as much as they would have liked. Saturday’s match against East Coburg, along with all VTCA games, was postponed until

February 4 due to the heat. “It feels like we’ve watched more cricket than we’ve played,” he said. “We haven’t really played many of the lower teams. We basically had a walkover against Barkley Street Uniting and missed out on points there. He said making more runs this season had been the key to them staying in more games and being more competitive. Gayashan Weerasekara has been a key to that and he sits second in the division’s runs scored this season. “It feels like every time he walks out there he peels off a 50.”

Saints brace for hot trot By Tara Murray Every game is like a final for St Anthonys as it looks to secure a top two finish in Gisborne and District Cricket Association B grade. With little more than two points separating the top three sides, it’s not only wins that will be crucial – runs and wickets will play a big part in which two teams get home finals. The Saints are sitting in second place and have the same number of wins as Wallan and Eynesbury. Saints captain-coach Cameron Clayton said they were very aware of their situation. The biggest of the matches remaining for the Saints will unfold this weekend against Eynesbury. “If you drop one game you’re back in the pack,” Clayton said. “The idea is to keep winning. We’re playing Eynesbury … in the first game [between the two sides], a two-dayer, it was really good for us. “They will want to bounce back, so this game is massive for us.” After the Saints excelled with the bat in the first part of the season, Clayton said the aim now was to step it up with the ball. The Saints have scored the highest tally of runs for the season, but out of the top four have taken the least wickets. “We’ll be looking to improve our bowling a little,” he said. “It’s more about keeping sides to a decent level for us to chase.” Clayton said that while the Saints’ top side was in a good position, the most pleasing thing was where St Anthonys was at overall. He said the club was in the best position it had been in a long time, both on and off the field. “The seconds are travelling nicely in second and the thirds are clear on top,” he said. “The fourths and fifths are just outside the top four. “The kids are starting to stand up, too. Conrad Farrugia made a century in the fourths the last round before Christmas. “The kids are so keen and are really pushing to play in higher positions.” Clayton said eight club juniors would be part of representative squads in the next couple of weeks – a pleasing sign for the club. It’s not just the juniors representing the club, with Clayton and Nathan Dantonio both named in the GDCA’s country week team to play next week. “It’s a really good experience for Nathan, who hasn’t had the chance before,” Clayton said. “It’s good for the club to have players in representative sides” The Saints’ match with Bacchus Marsh, which was due to be played on Saturday, will now be played on February 4. All of Saturday’s games were postponed due to the heat. In McIntyre Cup matches this weekend, Diggers Rest Bulla will host Bacchus Marsh. St Anthonys captain-coach Cameron Clayton.

Sevior said they were likely to get a number of players back in the second part of the season which would add to the depth across all sides. They would continue to blood a number of youngsters across those sides as they look to the future. “We were looking to improve on last year, not just in the ones but in all our sides,” he said. “We’ve had part in all our games where we’ve been competitive. In previous years, we’ve dropped away for a few hours.” Caroline Springs faces Moonee Valley in a two-day clash starting Saturday. Tara Murray

Royals plan for strong finish Melton South Royals are hoping for a more consistent second half to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association west A1 season as they look to push into the top four. The Royals were sixth heading into the Christmas break having had one of the tougher draws to start the season. Melton South Royals president Paul Davies said they had put in some mixed performances against the top sides. “We’ve played the top two teams twice and the third team,” he said. “In a couple of those we were in the game and a couple of others we were let down by poor execution. It makes it hard when we don’t perform up to expectation. “We’re looking forward to the opportunity to play against some of the other teams.” Davies said the biggest issue was consistency and getting the bowling and batting firing in the same games. It’s been the side’s biggest issue the past couple of years. “We’ve had a more settled team all the way through, so hopefully it will click soon,” he said. “One week the bowlers are playing well and the batsmen are struggling and then the batsmen get the score on the board and the bowlers don’t back it up. “Hopefully we get it together and get a few more wins on the board and push towards finals.” The Royals’ match on Saturday was postponed until February 4 due to the hot weather. The Royals will this week play Flemington. They were originally scheduled to have a bye but when Roxburgh Park withdrew from the north A1 competition, the VTCA moved Flemington across to west A1, to cut out the byes. Davies said he hoped they could use this game to set up a strong finish to the season. Overall, Davies said it had been a good first half. “The second side is thereabouts and, like the firsts, are pushing for a top-four side,” he said. “The thirds have struggled with inconsistency all season with guys coming up and down from other sides. Hopefully it will become settled and they can get a couple of wins and still be a chance. “The fours and fives have been quite competitive.” Tara Murray

Melton Centrals put their faith in youth campaign The young brigade is leading the way for Melton Centrals during the Riddell District Football League off season. With the possibility of them playing senior football this season, Centrals coach Mathew Sproule said the younger players were doing what they could to impress. “Training has been great and we’ve had 10 really good sessions,” he said. “We’ve had mid 30s to 40 players all but one night. There’s a stack of 16 to 22-year-olds who are training. “They want to play senior football. Training has been really fun.” Sproule said a number of players from last season’s under-16 premiership side were among

those training. He said at least two would be pushing for regular senior spots. “When I got here, the aim was to set the club up for the future,” he said. “We should have an under-19.5 team this year … We pulled the plug on that team after round 12 last season due to lack of numbers.” Sproule said they were still looking for more under-17 and under-19.5 players to join the club. Centrals have been quiet on the recruiting front, focusing on bringing young players into the side. But in a bid to address the lack of a full-forward they have brought in Dylan

Weir. Weir previously played under Sproule at Portarlington. “We haven’t gone out and got a lot,” Sproule said. “We picked up a full-forward which is what we needed. I tried to get Dylan across last season. “He and Blake Henderson will give us a couple of key targets.” Cooper Pepi, who was one of Darley’s best in its reserves premiership, is the other key signing for Centrals. Centrals have lost some experienced heads. Craig Harvey is heading back to his home state of South Australia, Josh Bamford is another

out and James Micallef, who joined Centrals midway through the season, is going back to the Essendon District Football League. Sproule said he expected the side to build on the work it did last season, when it won seven games – five more games than the previous season. “I have no doubt we will be a better team,” he said. “But I don’t know if that will equate to more wins. “We’ll play more kids and we’ll be a better team. We rate some of the kids really highly. “The wins will take care of themselves.” Tara Murray

Former Essendon player Elliott Kavanagh has joined Melton in a recruiting coup for the club. (The The Age Age)

Bomber lands at Melton By Tara Murray Former Essendon player Elliott Kavanagh will pull on the boots for Melton in this year’s Ballarat Football League season. Kavanagh, who played 12 games in four years at the Bombers, agreed to join the Bloods just before Christmas. Since being delisted by the Bombers, Kavanagh played a season for Central Districts in the South Australian National Football League, before returning to Victoria to play with Doncaster last year. New Bloods coach Aaron Tymms said Kavanagh would play an important role in the midfield. “It’s a massive signing for us,” Tymms said. “He played a few games for the Bombers and brings that experience. He was a Melton junior originally and played with a lot of guys.” Kavanagh was the biggest signing for the club in what hasn’t been an overly fruitful

recruiting period for the Bloods. Tymms said they were still talking to players. Bacchus Marsh premiership player Matt Denham is the other big name to sign with the club. Tymms said Denham, who played at the Bloods as a junior, hadn’t missed a beat at training before Christmas. Brock Kennedy, Jordyn Cotter and Billy Crofts will all return to the club after being with VFL club Werribee last year. Kennedy spent two years at Werribee, while Cotter and Crofts both spent a year at the Tigers. All three have battled injuries the past few years. Tymms said they would add much-needed pace to the midfield. He said they were looking forward to settling down at one club for the season and playing some consistent football. “It’ll be a young side and we need to put some more leadership in there,” Tymms said. “Having these three back for us is really

good and they’ve been really good with their knowledge through pre-season. “Even though they’re younger guys, they’ve got older heads having been at a higher level.” Liam Carter has aligned with the Bloods, and will play with the club when not playing VFL for Williamstown. Tymms said despite not playing many matches last season due to injury, the loss of Michael Licciardo, who was playing assistant coach, would be felt on the leadership team. Mark Maric, Brock McGregor (both going to Essendon District Football League) and Dillon Sharp (Melton South) are the other key outs. On the coaching side, Leigh Wilson has come on board as an assistant coach, along with Andrew Button. Ray Newman steps up to a match day assistant coach. Daniel Dimech will coach the reserves, while Bob Heaney is back at the Bloods looking after the under 18.5s. The Bloods will kick off their season on April 21 at home against local rival Melton South.

Melton Phoenix’s relegation to FFV state league 5 west has all but been confirmed with the release of this year’s FFV state league men’s draft structures. The Phoenix, which finished bottom of FFV state league 4 west last season, will play in a 13-team competition that will include three new sides, among them Caroline Springs-based Westside Strikers. Meanwhile, Spring Hills will play in state league 4 west after being promoted from state league 5 west.

New-look Levorg is all style By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring On sale here since June 2016, the Subaru Levorg received a facelift and upgrade in August 2017. It featured a revised front bumper and grille as well as suspension and brake enhancements. Hill hold, automatic wipers, steering responsive and dusk sensing headlights and smart rear view mirror were also added, though not all features were added to each model in the line-up. The biggest news was the introduction of an entry-level model with a smaller 1.6-litre engine to complement the 2.0-litre sold previously. Four models are now offered: Levorg 1.6 GT, 1.6 GT Premium, Levorg 2.0 GT-S, and 2.0 STI Sport. Our road test Subaru this week was on the new Levorg 1.6 GT. From the front the Levorg looks for all the world like a WRX thanks to its bold grille and bonnet scoop. Though the Australian importer says the Levorg is not a WRX station wagon we feel many potential buyers will regard it as one. The rear also looks great, being more hatch than wagon in appearance with some neat sculpted lines. The long, slim look is certainly a step away from old Impreza and Liberty wagons. The new 1.6-litre, the first of its kind to be used in an Australian Subaru, is a flat-four Boxer turbo-petrol unit. A continuously variable transmission with six manual overrides takes torque to all four wheels by way of Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. While the 2.0-litre Levorgs have variable torque distribution, the 1.6 gets active torque split. Standard safety equipment on all models includes seven airbags; stability and traction control; ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist; and the third

should be listed as a safety feature – pandering to unsafe drivers is simply wrong. The 1.6 GT misses out on blind spot monitor, high beam assist, lane change assist and rear cross traffic alert. The latter is a valuable asset and we missed having it a couple of times during our week’s test when we seemed to spend a lot of time in carparks during the

Christmas period. Interior space is good with reasonable leg room in the back seat, there’s certainly enough space for children who haven’t yet reached full adult size. Luggage space is generally good, however the sleeker rear end will limit the carriage of large, boxy items. Style or substance? It’s an age-old debate and the choice is, of course, yours. The smallish 1.6-litre engine has plenty of punch and a lovely, lively feel that makes it a pleasure to punt along. We really did love its apparent happiness at being made to work long and hard. There’s some turbo lag but the ability of the CVT to pick from a virtually infinite number of ratios means the engine can send its best torque to all four wheels rapidly. There are six preset ratios within the CVT for manual changing through steering wheel mounted paddles should you feel the computer has got it wrong. Subaru Levorg has a slightly softer suspension than the others in the range as befits its grand touring intentions. Ride comfort and overall smoothness is impressive and we reckon this Japanese car is up with the European prestige wagons. Handling is sharp with excellent grip, precise turn and good feedback through the steering wheel. Fuel consumption was generally in the nine to 11 litres per hundred range around town, and in the eights on the open road. We feel the latter should be lower, but you do get plenty of performance from this turbo engine so perhaps we shouldn’t complain. Though Subaru is too modest to say so, we feel there’s little doubt the new Levorg is aimed at the more expensive German and British brands. With its combination of sophistication, dynamic ability, style and value it presents a compelling case.
