Jurasic fun for juniors

A Jurassic world has come to life at Woodgrove shopping centre as life-sized moving dinosaurs roar into town for the holidays. Youngsters can discover all manner of animatronic dinosaurs, including Triceratops, just as a paleontologist would. Eoin and Montanah (pictured) put on lab coats and eye shields before busily chipping away on their own take-home fossils. Daily guided dino tours are hosted by rangers at 11am, noon and 1pm, before a campfire yarn and dinosaur story time, and there will be new activities each week until Friday, January 30. Details of Woodgrove’s school holiday program are at woodgrove.com.au. Yasemin Talat

didn’t act fast enough to ensure we had new schools.” A spokesman for the department said “relocatables” offered a flexible and efficient solution to address various issues. “The relocatables provide state-of-the-art learning environments comparable to a school’s permanent classrooms,” the spokesman said. “Melbourne’s outer western suburbs are the fastest-growing area of Victoria. So schools in the area typically receive more of the relocatables.” The number of portable classroom

“transfers” across the state is expected to rise from about 160 in 2012-13 to 260 this financial year. Meanwhile, 61 portable classrooms were “transferred” to schools in the western suburbs last financial year, followed by 58 in the south, 53 in the north and 24 in the east. The department is now seeking expressions of interest to transfer the buildings in a bid to cut the program’s annual cost of $30-$40 million. The Andrews government made an election pledge of $50 million to replace 250 portable classrooms and $510 million to rebuild schools across the state.

Thousands of western suburbs students are learning in a growing number of sub-standard portable classrooms, new figures have revealed. In some schools, more than half the students will study this year in “relocatable buildings”. An Education Department tender document has outlined that “population growth, high-density suburban development and emerging regional growth corridors and constraints on capital investment” have increased the demand for portables.

Australian Education Union Victorian branch president Meredith Peace blamed a lack of foresight for the unprecedented number of portables popping up at school grounds in the west. She said there needed to be more investment in, and planning for, the state’s growth corridors. “There’s a desperate need for schools and those schools haven’t been built quickly enough,” Ms Peace said. “I think we’re seeing a greater pressure on relocatables because the previous government

KNOW YOUR GRASSFIRE RISK THIS SUMMER

If you live near open grassland, parks, paddocks or reserves, you could be impacted by grassfire.

IT’S UP TO YOU TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE STARTS. DO YOU LIVE ONE OR TWO STREETS AWAY FROM GRASSLAND? Stay inside your home – grassfires are unlikely to spread past the first row of houses Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

DO YOU LIVE ON A FENCELINE NEXT TO GRASSLAND? If a fire starts, quickly move one or two streets away from the fenceline or park boundary Act early, even if you haven’t received a warning Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

Remember, it’s up to you to monitor weather conditions and warnings. Always keep an eye on the conditions outside - you may be aware of a fire before emergency services. If you see smoke or flames, call Triple Zero (000).

Humanity in demand

Calendar full of hot dates

By Sumeyya Ilanbey Housing affordability and family breakdowns have forced many Melton people from their homes in the past year. Melton council’s housing services recorded about 1500 calls for help during 2014. Melton council’s acting family, youth and housing manager, Rohna Pedretti, says there is an “ongoing demand” for housing assistance in the city. “Many contributing factors are leading to people experiencing homelessness or being at risk of homelessness,” Ms Pedretti said. “These factors can include family or relationship breakdown; family or partner violence; abuse or neglect; drug, alcohol or gambling addictions; family homelessness; unemployment and poverty; and lack of affordable housing.” Data released by the Council to Homeless Persons indicates the number of homeless people in Melton climbed 30 per cent between the 2006 and 2011 censuses. While homeless numbers at Moorabool are slightly lower, “even one is a huge concern,” mayor Paul Tatchell said. “This isn’t a government’s problem; this problem belongs to everybody,” Cr Tatchell said. “Not everyone has the capacity to bail themselves out of the problem. This problem will grow until we, as people, start to take some role in being humans to other humans.” And Bacchus Marsh locals Peter Turner and Gavin Fenech have opted to play their part by raising money to help the city’s most vulnerable residents. “I had a limited perspective of what it meant to be homeless and we just assume there’s an issue with drugs,” Mr Fenech said.

Peter Turner and Gavin Fenech are behind a music festival to help the homeless. (Kristian Scott)

“It’s hard to relate to [what makes people homelessness], but some people assume there’s going to be a level of freedom after all the abuse and feelings of insecurity they experience. “People are living in makeshift camps under bridges and down in the bushes.”

The pair helped organise a music festival last weekend to raise money for a caravan park in Bacchus Marsh, similar to the one in Ballan, which has been very successful. To help or donate, visit ‘Rally the saints music festival’ on Facebook.

Moorabool Shire’s annual events calendar, Moorabool 365, has been printed and is ready for distribution across the shire. According to mayor Paul Tatchell, the calendar, which lists 64 events, is a “must-have” for residents and visitors to the shire. “We have a bit of everything in way of events – horse trials, markets, food events, festivals, art shows and music performances,” Cr Tatchell said. “You can plan your year with this one colourful, information-packed calendar.” The 2015 version has a new format and larger font size to make it easier to read. Copies of the calendar will be available at locations across the shire and the state, including Bacchus Marsh Visitor Information Centre, selected community centres, tourism operators, retail outlets across the shire, and Federation Square. Copies can also be picked up from council’s service centres in Ballan, Darley and the Lerderderg library in Bacchus Marsh. The calendar is also available online with a new feature that allows users to click on an event and be directed to more information in a specific part of the brochure.

Survivor tells her story

Thieves clean out car washes

A special guest will visit Moorabool Shire on Australia Day. Christine Durham, this year’s Australia Day ambassador, will join the shire’s celebrations on Monday, January 26. Dr Durham, the 2014 Victorian senior Australian of the year, had her life changed after sustaining a severe brain injury in a horrific car accident. She woke up in intensive care with multiple breaks to more than half her ribs, a brain injury resulting in difficulty speaking, eating, thinking and walking; and a fractured orbit in her left eye and double vision. But Dr Durham was determined to fight her way back. She used her experiences to inspire others and has since written books, conducted workshops and gained an international reputation as a professional learning presenter. “I do a lot of talking to people about having your life changed, being positive and finding ways to help yourself,” Dr Durham said. “Triumph is made up of two words – try and umph. Never give up, no matter what happens.” Dr Durham will share her story at the council’s Australia Day ceremony. “I think it’s very important that people see that everything is possible, that pigs can fly and amazing things can happen,” she said. Dr Durham will also present award recipients with a “hope stone”. She said the stone represented something very hard, “a reminder we can tackle the hard stuff”. And on the stone is a star to remind recipients that by tackling the hard issues they can reach for the stars. For more information about the Australia Day event, visit www.moorabool.vic.gov.au

Brazen thieves have been robbing car washes in the western suburbs. Sergeant Andrew Button, of the Melton crime investigation unit, warned locals to keep an eye out for thieves targeting car washes, mainly in Melton, Caroline Springs, Gisborne and Werribee. “We’ve noticed a series of break-ins at car washes where people are trying to steal loose change from coin tins,” Sergeant Button said. “We think the break-ins are related.” Sergeant Button declined to comment on the nature of investigation but said police were pursuing a number of leads. They believe the thieves are three men in their early 20s. “They try to gain access to the [coin machines],” Sergeant Button said. “They cause a lot of damage to the machines and to the coin mechanisms in the process.” He said the spree started last month and the thieves had already broken into 10 car washes. They had robbed some premises more than once. “They’re mostly opportunistic crimes, happening at night or in the early hours of the morning,” Sergeant Button said. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Fenced in and shut out By Yasemin Talat A gate separating properties on Lohs Lane in Myrniong is dividing residents, with one couple fighting for its removal. Scott and Olivia Fisher applied unsuccessfully to the council last May for cancellation of an agricultural licence, which applies to 500 metres of the lane, and for the gate to go. Under conditions of the agricultural licence, a gate is required. But Mr Fisher said the land was no longer used for agriculture and the gate blocked access to his property. Four properties on Lohs Lane are outside the gate; three are behind it. Mrs Fisher said her property was hard to reach. “It’s our only access,” she said. “Everyone should have access to their property.” The Fishers will submit a new request at the February council meeting, asking that Lohs Lane no longer be classified an “unused road”. Mrs Fisher said the family’s main concern was that while it was deemed “unused”, that part of Lohs Lane would not be maintained. “We’re hoping the council uses common sense and says, ‘How can we have three houses and no road that leads there?’,” she said. Ambulance Victoria, Bacchus Marsh police and Myrniong fire brigade have all expressed their concerns over the road, and letters from each will be presented at the council meeting. A petition signed by more than 50 road users, including delivery drivers, tradesmen and visitors, will also be submitted. Neighbour Monica Bartels, who told the council in May the gate should be closed at all times to stop off-road bikes, said this week: “I find it strange the matter is again before council given the council gave it due and proper consideration in May.”

More space for watercraft Jet skiers and boaters now have more banking area at Pykes Creek Reservoir following zoning changes. Southern Rural Water has developed zones at the creek to allow for one access area to cater for water skiing and a larger area for mooring vessels. Water supply manager Edward Smith said the new zones would increase the safety for all those on the water over summer. “These days, the number of jet skis at Pykes far outweighs the number of boats and other vessels put together,” Mr Smith said. “That means there are a lot more vessels on the water to manage, and we need more bank areas where they can moor when they’re not being used.” Mr Smith said Southern Rural Water had also created a separate area for “non-motorised” craft, such as canoes. “This way, water skiers, jet skiers and canoeists can all use the reservoir more safely,” he said. For safety reasons, there is a cap of 80 vessels on the water at any one time. The changes have been endorsed by the Pykes Creek community advisory committee to help plan for long-term management of the recreational facilities at the reservoir. For more information about the zoning changes, call South Rural Water on 1300 139 510. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Bathurst burr alert

PHONE \ 03 9249 5381

Moorabool residents are being warned to watch out for Bathurst burr, a very prickly thistle that pops up after summer rain. The weed has spikes that cause animals to go lame; it gets in their wool and injures shearers. It can also can cause nasty injuries to people and puncture bicycle tyres. The weed often grows beside roads and tracks, and in cropping paddocks, and the best way to deal with it is to hoe it out, bag it and burn it. Details http://www.depi. vic.gov.au

Cash up front conmen strike

MIA FITZPATRICK AND BRODY HOURIGAN

Nature the best respite By Sumeyya Ilanbey For Mia Fitzpatrick, 12, and Brody Hourigan, 14, the Challenge summer camps are pencilled in their diaries long beforehand. Summer camps are offered to teenagers aged between 12 and 15, who are either living with cancer, in remission or have a sibling with cancer. Mia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2012. The Airport West teen is now in remission and savouring every moment of it.

She was among a group of 20 teenagers who visited the Melbourne Runabout and Speedboat Club in Exford last Friday. “[The camps] just help me get away from everything and calm down,” Mia said. “It’s a really great experience. I’ve been on five camps and enjoyed every one.” About five years ago, Brody’s doctors gave him devastating news: he had Ewings sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. “It was pretty much eating into my hip,” said Brody, who is now in remission for the second

time. “[Challenge] makes you forget everything you’ve had and just makes you feel special. “Who wouldn’t want to come back here every year? It’s amazing – they’re just great people.” The teens have been coming to the Exford club for the past four years. Club registrar Ray Gusman said Challenge was a way to give back to community. “Hosting Challenge for the day is something we really enjoy doing,” Mr Gusman said. To learn more about the camps, visit challenge.org.au.

Consumer Affairs Victoria has urged Wyndham residents to be wary of travelling conmen following reports of two men offering bitumen repairs in the Little River area. In both cases, residents were approached by the men saying a job down the road had been cancelled and suggesting they could do work at a cheap price. After becoming suspicious, residents refused to hand over money. Wyndham police crime prevention officer Craig McDonald encouraged people to be vigilant about common rip-offs, such as cheap roof repair deals. Leading Senior Constable McDonald said residents were typically approached by two men who claimed to have noticed damage to their roof while doing repairs on a neighbouring house. “They will then make up a quote and barter with the home owner for a cash deal to fix it,” he said. “They may even get on the roof and actually remove tiles, looking like they are doing some work, but then once they have the cash they will leave and never come back, leaving a gaping hole.” Consumer Affairs Victoria director Claire Noone said travelling conmen usually demanded cash up front for jobs such as asphalting, roofing work, painting and gardening, then disappeared leaving poor- quality or incomplete work. “They prey on unsuspecting and trusting people, often ripping off older Victorians, people with a disability,

A new Melton community radio show will launch next month, bringing the latest in news and information to the airwaves. Melton Your Community Show will broadcast on 979fm from Wednesday, February 4, with hosts Annette Langlands and Mark Philip. The pair say they’re excited to be bringing something new to the community. “There’s nothing like this in Melton and we decided to give it a go,” Mr Philip said. He said residents often didn’t know how much was on offer and what was available to them within their community, and he hoped the show would connect listeners to groups, organisations and resources. Listeners can expect to be kept up to date with news and information from health professionals, police, community groups and

experts, and Star Weekly will have a segment covering the leading news stories of the week. Ms Langlands said she was passionate about the community and hoped the show would help residents feel more connected. “We want to get the word out on what is here in your own community to help you,” she said. As well as the serious stuff, Ms Langlands said there would be plenty of fun, too. The show will air on 979fm from 10am to noon every Wednesday. If you would like to be part of the show, email wednesdays1@hotmail.com. For more information, find Melton Your Community Show on Facebook or listen online at http://979fm.com.au/.

Car show a healthy habit The annual David Calleja Memorial Car Show is revving into Bacchus Marsh this February for its 10th year. The car show is run by Djerriwarrh Health Services in memory of David Calleja who was an influential businessman and devoted community member. Mr Calleja was an avid car collector, and his family continues to display rare and unique automobiles at the show. Since its beginning, the car show has grown rapidly and now features more than 750 cars and 100 bikes, as well as trucks. All funds raised from the car show are used to buy medical equipment for the Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital and for Melton Health.

without which local services would not be able to purchase much-needed equipment. The show attracts as many as 5000 people each year, and the numbers are growing. This year’s main attraction will be a 1914 Vermorel, which was built in France and is the only original of its kind in the world. The car show is on Sunday, February 1, at Maddingley Park, Bacchus Marsh. Tickets are $5 for adults, while children under 14 enter free. Gates open to public at 8am. Entry for competitors is $10 per vehicle and gates open at 7am. Trophies will be awarded to the best in each category. For more information, contact Nadine Homewood on 0431 444 920. Yasemin Talat

Those of you who have been getting out and making the most of our long, summer days will certainly have noticed the marked increase in the number of trees and shrubs popping up throughout our community. Council has an extensive tree planting program that improves the look and feel of neighbourhoods, while providing shade and attracting wildlife. Over 2,000 trees have been planted in the last year across the City, including Melton, Diggers Rest, Caroline Springs and Rockbank, to name a few. Council also has a responsive tree planting program for residents who’d like a tree planted on their nature strip. If you are willing to water the tree regularly to help establish it and would like more information, contact Council on 9747 7200. I am available to meet with residents most Saturday mornings from 9am, by appointment.

A growing number of studies show that music lessons in childhood can do something perhaps more valuable for the brain than childhood gains: provide benefits for the long run, as we age, in the form of an added defense against memory loss, cognitive decline, and diminished ability to distinguish consonants and spoken words. Not only that, you may well get those benefits even if you haven’t tickled the ivories, strummed the guitar, or unpacked your instrument from its case in years. And dividends could even be in store if you decide to pick up an instrument for the very first time in midlife or beyond. Piano teachers across the world will have heard, “I wish I had learned piano as a child” time and time again. Adults assume that if they didn’t learn to play piano as a child, then it’s simply too late. Yet not only are adult piano lessons more often than not extremely rewarding, but adults have a number of advantages in learning piano compared to children.

Children very often have to be persuaded to practice and attend piano lessons. Adults, on the other hand, don’t need to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to their piano teachers. Adults also have highly developed logical and critical thinking skills. It is often thought that playing music is a purely creative, right-brained act, but this is by no means the case. As the most emotional of the arts, music indeed favors the emotional right brain compared to the rational left. Playing music without understanding these essentials would be like learning to pronounce syllables in a foreign language but having little or no idea what the words mean. Another advantage is that adults can learn complex concepts much more easily and understand technical explanations. This makes it possible for adults to learn music theory and analysis far more easily than children.

Most children sing and dance almost as soon as they walk, often in front of the TV mimicking The Wiggles. Not only is dancing a great way to keep youngsters entertained but it also has health and cognitive benefits. It’s a great way to improve strength and flexibility, posture and balance, and helps children express themselves, according to the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, one of the world’s leading dance examination boards. Some kids may be bored running around a track or playing other sports but dancing provides them with a fun way to keep fit and out of trouble while meeting new friends. Dancing helps with co-ordination, which is necessary for many other sports and life activities. And bopping along to a beat is ideal for children to improve their memory by learning new steps and moves for various routines. Non-verbal communication is another skill toe-tappers can add to their repertoire, which is something they learn while boogieing. Local dance schools offer a range of dance classes suited to boys and girls, whether they choose to be a ballerina or a hip-hop, tap, rap or jazz dancer. Singing to favourite songs is part of the dance experience and can be beneficial to young minds too. Singing helps in children’s speech development and language construction, along with teaching them about tone, beat and rhythm. Dance schools often have singing classes as part of their programs, allowing children to embrace two things they love while being creative and learning, probably without even realising it. Parents looking for new activities to keep their kids away from computer games and too much TV may find their local dance school has the answer. With classes catering for toddlers through to teens, there’s bound to be a move and grove session that appeals.

Price: $479,000

Built about 12 years ago and in popular Princeton Park estate, this is a house decorated in a style that older buyers will find appealing. But what makes it an actual all-rounder is that, with very few cosmetic changes (a lick of paint and different window furnishings), it would become a place that a young family will relish. And the amount of work done in the backyard is amazing, perfect for all-age buyers looking to have a ready-made, beautifully done, outdoor area. Entry is into a tiled hallway, to the right of which is an open carpeted lounge room with windows dressed in top-quality drapes. That same look can be found in

the main bedroom, opposite, which has a set of four mirrored robes and an en suite with a spa and timber vanity unit. Two more bedrooms are down a carpeted hallway from the living hub, each with mirrored robes; they share a separate toilet, and a bathroom with Tassy oak vanity unit. The entry hall continues, bisecting a carpeted dining room on one side which has a full wall of built-in Tassy oak cabinetry; and a study on the other side, also with built-in cabinetry including a desk. At halls’ end comes the living hub, with a tiled meals area under an angled

ceiling, and a large, carpeted family room (pitched ceiling) with two bay windows sporting window seats; in here, there’s a freestanding sectional display cabinet delivering plenty of storage. The kitchen has Tassy oak cupboards, a big walk-in pantry, a concealed dishwasher, wall oven and 900mm gas cooktop – and a garden window behind the sink providing garden views. Outside, it’s a feast of fragrance and colour. A timber walkway heads from the meals zone to a pair of pergolas, both drenched with wisteria – one pink, one mauve. The walkway continues on to become an arched bridge over ornamental

river stones to a Victorian-style gazebo housing a solid jarrah outdoor setting which will remain. Magnolias march along one fence, roses abound, and pretty flowering shrubs of all descriptions create pockets of bright colour. Every garden bed is tidily mulched and sit amid sandy pebbled areas – and, of course, there’s a vegie patch. Two 3000-litre water tanks with pump supply an irrigation system to keep everything thriving. This fine property also has a double garage with a big workshop area to the side, and a back roller door.

NEW HOMES AND LAND Choosing the interior style of a house is a big decision that could make or break how people feel living inside it. Clashing colours or materials could put visitors or potential buyers off so it’s important that everything flows. Metricon interior designer Kristina Carpenter knows what’s in fashion and how to make interiors shine long-term. “Right now, the interior design world is going crazy for a combination of natural elements such as timber, marble, copper and concrete with metallic features. Feature lighting, decorative vases and

48 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 20, 2015

ornate accessories are the perfect way to bring these new stylish trends into homes,” Kristina says. “When it comes to styling the interior of a home it’s important to keep big-ticket items and hard surfaces such as kitchens and bathrooms neutral and classic and leave on-trend pieces to soft furnishings such as cushions.” She says with colours it’s crucial to keep consistency in mind. “Carry out a similar colour theme throughout the home to make it feel

cohesive. This also makes executing a particular style easier.” For people not lucky enough to have a new place to live but who would like to give their current residence a new lease on life can still do so with some simple tricks. “Redesigning a home interior is a lot easier than most people think. A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and quickest ways to transform the feel of a room. “Homeowners who aren’t fond of repainting could invest in new cushions or complementary artwork to express their

personality, while maintaining the flexibility to easily change it,” Kristina says. Another great way to get interior design tips is to visit home shows or exhibitions on interior design to see what works. Or spend a weekend checking out display houses to view the latest designs. If all this talk of interior design has inspired some change at home or a spurt of creativity, embrace it and reap the rewards of living in a place that represents your individuality. Rebecca Miller

TRAVEL MELTON.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Bathing, bartering the Thai way By Rebecca Miller SĂ -wĂ t-dee kĂ˘ (a greeting, like welcome) was one of the first words I heard after landing on the buzzing Thai island of Koh Samui. The island looks as good in real life as on postcards â&#x20AC;Ś just a pity about the smell of sewage. It lingers with the humidity, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soon forgotten as you splash in the thankfully clean waters of Chaweng Beach. Thai entrepreneurs sell their wares on the sandy shores and in the bustling shopping strip. But beware of making eye contact with the seller if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not buying anything, otherwise theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hover like flies. Fans of Ray Bans or Havaianas will be in shopperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heaven (just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the real deal), and for a tailored suit you need only step outside the hotel to a seemingly endless selection. Bartering is key. My partner and I bought two pairs of Havaianas for $10 each (about $30 back home). And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of accommodation. Centara Grand Beach Resort on Chaweng Beach is in the heart of the action. We lashed out and got a room there with a plunge pool. After a quick dip, I hightailed it to the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day spa. I was lucky enough to wander in on a Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rates are cheaper on weekends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the hot-stone massage was amazing. The island is great for relaxation and food. Of course, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of native fare, including spicy curries and stir-fries, but there are also Aussie restaurants serving burgers, flying the flag and playing John Farnham in the background. I was stoked to find Zicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a Brazilian restaurant with buffet and spit-roasted meats and seafood. The passionfruit caipirinha, Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national cocktail, made from cachaĂ§a (sugarcane-infused alcohol), hit the spot. And

despite the heat outside, the samba dancers kicked the night up a gear with their brightly coloured outfits and enthusiasm. We found the best way to learn about Thai food was through a private cooking class. Prices vary, but Dara Samui Beach Resort is good value, with the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chef on hand to show us how to cook our three-course lunch. The only difficult part was choosing a menu. We tried to avoid curries, which proved advantageous as we wiped sweat from our brows, but it was infused into our meals anyway. And we left

with aprons, recipes, a certificate, a DVD of our afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts, and full bellies. After walking around before and after meals we began to melt and decided to hire a scooter. I was dubious about leaving my passport as collateral, but all was okay. Scooters are everywhere and cost about $10 a day. We got a flat tyre, but $6 saw us back on our way. We rode up to Lamai Beach, as the traffic is nothing like Bangkok and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great view of the island. Stopping at Beach Republic resort is a must

for a lunch of snow fish (mild-flavoured Thai fish) and chips followed by caramelised apple tart. And free wi-fi at most hotels and restaurants is a blessing if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re searching for another adventure. The best thing about Koh Samui is the bargain shopping and beaches.

SPORT Rain dashes Highlanders’ state championship hopes Weather proved to be the spoiler for Central Highlands’ under-18 cricketers at the Victorian Bushrangers under-18 state championships. The Highlanders finished second in group D with a win, loss and weather-affected draw in the round robin stage of the competition. They were due to face Gippsland Pride in the quarter-finals last Wednesday, but the match was called off because of rain-saturated grounds, leaving Pride to progress to the semi-finals because it was higher on the ladder in the group stage. “It’s very disappointing that we are out to another team because of ladder position,”

Highlanders coach Paul Jeffrey said. “It’s a very hollow feeling … you can’t control the weather.” Jeffrey said the Highlanders had set out to make the finals. “We wanted to make the finals and see how far we could go,” he said. “The weather meant that didn’t happen.” Captain Blake Thomson was the standout for the Highlanders, with 167 in two hits. “He performed really well and was disappointed that he didn’t get on the field,” Jeffrey said. “Nick Strangio [from Bacchus Marsh Cricket

Club], our spin bowler, got wickets in both games and the seam bowlers did their bit, too. “Jakob Tidyman, our opener, made 77 in the second game.” Despite the disappointing end, Jeffrey said the players had learnt a lot. “They gelled together well and had a lot of fun, on and off the field. “They learnt a lot … even though a couple of games were washed out. “Five or six of the boys are bottom-age players and can play next year.” In the VicSpirit under-16 state championships, the Highlander girls finished eighth after losing

Centrals find higher gear By Tara Murray Melton Centrals Cricket Club is a game clear on top of the ladder after a convincing win against Caroline Springs in Williamstown and District Cricket Association A-Turf. In the first weekend back after Christmas, with rain having forced cancellation of play the weekend before, the Centrals team was a little rusty at the start. Coach Adam Hulett said his players took a while to get going. “We didn’t get off to the greatest of starts,” Hulett said. “Once our first-change bowlers came on and got a couple of wickets, Caroline Springs never got back into the game.” The Centrals shared the wickets around, restricting Springs to 7-117. “We chased down the total, losing just three wickets in 30 overs; we did it easily,” Hulett said. “Josh Orr made 30-odd, opening the batting, and Andrew Cristofaro ended up 45-odd not out. “[Springs] got off to a good start with the bat, but once we roped them in we controlled the rest of the game.” Hulett said he was happy to start the season’s second half with a win. “With other results going our way, we’re now a game clear on top of the ladder,” he said. “The aim is to finish top two and get a home final. “At the start of the season we wanted to finish top four, but we’ve clicked better than we thought we would.” Hulett said having a regular line-up the last few years had brought about part of the improvement. “We’ve been a work in progress, with seven or eight core blokes, and we’ve had other people fill in the blanks. “This year we’ve been pretty consistent,” he said. “We were missing a couple this week, but our depth has been pretty good. We have 12 to 13 people who can fill the 11 spots.” This week, Centrals play Gellibrand, “We beat them easily earlier in the year in a one-dayer,” Hulett said. “A two-dayer is a different story.” Melton South Primary School lost to Williamstown Congs. After bowling well to despatch the Congs for 128, Melton South could manage only 85 in reply. Daniel Jackson took four wickets for Melton South.

their semi- final to South East Bayside Breakers. Sent in, the Highlanders struggled to make just 66, Tayla Harris top scoring with 20. In reply, the Breakers made 7-110. Natalie Svanosio took two wickets. The under-14 girls finished off the championships in style with a win over the Barwon Rockettes. The Highlanders bowled the Rockettes out for 54, with Imogen Barlow (Gisborne Cricket Club), Rebecca Sinclair and Sophie Dyer taking two wickets each. In reply, the Highlanders made 88 for their first win in the competition. Tara Murray

Ton tips Lions into top spot A century to Thomas Rogers has helped Melton Lions regain top spot in the Victorian-Sub District Cricket Association’s north-west group. The Lions were in control of the weekend’s match against Preston from the start, taking three quick wickets before the middle order staged a minicomeback. But Preston was bowled out for 156 with more than five overs remaining in the innings. Brad Jones was best of the bowlers, taking three wickets. The Lions did it with ease on the back of Rogers’ first century in the senior team. He and Nathan Geisler took the team past 156, then attention turned to getting Rogers to his maiden ton, after which stumps was called. Rogers finished 100 not out, with Geisler unbeaten on 35. This win, and Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows’ loss, meant the Lions jumped the Falcons into top spot. In the Ballarat Cricket Association, Darley was bowled out chasing Napoleons/Sebastopol’s 6-182cc. Sending Napoleons/Sebastopol in, Darley had them at 2-32 but then struggled for frequent breakthroughs for the rest of the innings as the middle order ensured a difficult run chase. Sajith Rupasingha was the best of the bowlers for Darley, taking 3-26. Darley’s innings had a few promising partnerships then wickets fell in clusters. Number three Oliver Smith was the mainstay as his side pushed for an unlikely victory. While Smith finished 57 not out, he ran out of partners as Darley fell for 155 with three overs left. In Gisborne and District Cricket Association’s McIntyre Cup competition, Bacchus Marsh will be after quick wickets against Sunbury in a match of importance for both sides. Bacchus Marsh sits four points behind fourth placed Sunbury going into the second day. Bacchus Marsh was bowled out for 187 in its innings and had Sunbury 1-13 at stumps. In B-grade, Diggers Rest Bulla, looking to get into the top four, put in a better batting performance against St Anthonys. Having struggled in recent rounds, Diggers Rest Bulla made 213, Lincoln Grant top scoring with 47. Bacchus Marsh looks set for defeat against Macedon, which is 1-73 chasing 92.

By Tara Murray Nothing could split Melton and Essendon (2) in section two of Bowls Victoria Metropolitan division 1 on Saturday, The teams won two rinks each and were tied on 84 shots, so each was awarded nine points. Melton remains in fourth spot, eight points clear of Essendon (2). Melton’s second side lost to Yarraville/ Footscray in division 2, section 1, going down 16 (87)-2 (60). The battle for third and fourth in the Central Highlands Bowls division is getting tight, with just 18 points separating five teams. Woodend is 15 clear on top of the ladder, while Gisborne and Trentham are out of the running for finals. In mid-table, Lancefield, Bacchus Marsh, Romsey Kyneton Golf and Kyneton are in a five-way battle for second through to sixth. Lancefield cemented second place on the ladder with a 16 (121)-2 (73) success against winless Trentham.

After splitting the first rink, Woodend took the points in the other three rinks to get home 17 (114)-1 (89).

Riddell’s rep coach makes finals berth central focus Finals are on the agenda for the Riddell District Netball League open side in the Central Highlands RSL competition. New coach Di McCormack says she’s confident the squad, which finished runner-up last season, will be in the finals mix in the six-week competition against other local netball leagues. McCormack, who coaches Rupertswood in the RDNL, was a late appointment to the role after Melton Centrals goaler Renee Hulls had to pull out due to other netball commitments, including being named in the Australian 30-plus indoor netball team. “I initially didn’t apply for the role as it clashed with my Victorian Netball League commitments,” McCormack said.

‘‘

I called the Saints and they were 100 per cent - Di McCormack behind me

“When Renee pulled out, the league contacted me about it. “I called the Saints [Southern Saints] and they were 100 per cent behind me taking on the role. “I can miss training to take on this job and it’s something I wanted to do. “I’ve spoken to a few players who I haven’t coached before and they’re happy to have me on board.” Joining McCormack on the sidelines is Katie Clarke, who played in the RSL competition last year. Clarke has been named assistant coach. McCormack says a lot of the team’s players are from the clubs that finished on the top half of the RDNL ladder last season.

’’

“We have an experienced goal end with Yasmin McGregor and Christine Harris, both from Riddell, while Wallan’s Kate Bishop will provide support in her first year in the team,” she said. “In mid-court, we’re very fast. The league promoted Ailish [McCormack] into the senior side from the under-17s … it will help her develop.” McCormack thinks defence is the side’s strongest asset.

“Emma Grant, Tess Lenaghan, Emma Wright and Jess Dominko are all really strong,” she said. At Rupertswood, Dominko and Wright lead the signings for the 2015 season. “Katie [Clarke] is having a baby but will still coach the under-19 side,” McCormack said. “We will have a whole new line-up with younger girls to continue developing. “We also won’t have Stacey Northey, who is having an operation on her knee. “We might get her back near the end of the season, but we have players who can cover for her.” Tara Murray

Wanted: new Panther coach

Grass greener for Rams By Tara Murray Former AFL player Andrew Welsh had no hesitation jumping in to help Rockbank Football Club re-establish its junior program. The former Essendon utility, who lives in Caroline Springs, approached the club through his and his father’s company, Welsh Developments, about a possible sponsorship. But Welsh didn’t just want to be a sponsor in the background. “The club has a country feel about it, which a lot of suburban clubs don’t have,” Welsh told Star Weekly. “Our big focus is to help and push with the regrowth of the junior part of the club. “I love footy and I want kids throughout this area to have that so they don’t have to go to other suburbs to get a good football program. “We think that with everything that will be happening in Rockbank over the next 15 years, it’s time to start a new campaign.” Welsh, who played 162 AFL games, said he

would look to bring his experience to the club and that wouldn’t be limited to junior ranks. “I’ve done coaching courses and I think I have a lot of insight into what has been done at junior programs and what has been done well. “I can give advice along the way and help with clinics and training sessions and help them aspire to be the best players they can be. “I’ll be at the club when I can get down here.” The club had no junior sides last year, but Rams president Mark Smith said it needed youngsters and he was thrilled to have Welsh on board. “We won’t have to stress as much about recruiting players like we did in previous years,” Smith said. “With so many other clubs in the area – Melton, Caroline Springs and Eynesbury – it has stretched us. “The saddest part is that only six years ago we won under-10, under 12 and under-14, and the under-16s were runners-up.”

Smith said the club was likely to have at least two junior sides this season. “Two years ago, we had under-10s and 12s in one side and it looks like they’ll all be coming back to play under-14,” he said. “We have a few under-10s and Eynesbury wants to play games at our ground, so there’s a possibility of combining if we don’t get the numbers.” As for Welsh pulling on the boots for the Rams? “My playing days are gone,” Welsh said “Gav [Sporle] would have to put me through a few sessions to get me up to speed. “My program [as a match boundary rider] with Channel Seven is pretty intense . . . but if something can fit into a program somewhere I might be able to. “[But] I think it might be hard to fit it in, first to train and get right and then deserve a game.” Rockbank will hold a junior clinic, which Welsh will be a part of, at the club from 10am on February 15.

Melton South is after a new A-grade netball coach after Bon Tai had to stand down with work commitments. Netball director Jenna Nicolle said the players had put together a program but were searching for someone to take over the role. “Just before Christmas, Bon stepped away and now we’re hanging to put together a pre-season by ourselves while we’re also searching,” Nicolle said. “Bon is going to give us a hand with it, with training starting next week.” Nicolle said that while there was experience in the side, having a coach was a necessity. “We have a pretty qualified team with people with fitness backgrounds,” she said. “We have a couple of leads so hopefully someone will step up from those.” Nicolle said the team’s focus would be on improvement in coming years. The Panthers finished ninth last year. “The last five years we’ve been building a culture at the club and everyone has been helping out. “Now that the club is set up we want to build on the success. “We want to find some successful players and be able to retain them. “We also want to continue to build on the younger players and their development.” To be involved with Melton South contact, shereenlaffin@hotmail.com.

Not for lack of Spirit Western Spirit has finished its run in the Victorian Bushrangers under-18 championship with a win against Western Waves. Josh Hahnel and captain Thomas Duxson were the standouts, putting on a partnership of 94. Hahnel top-scored with 102, while Duxson made 72 in the Spirit’s total of 7-229. In reply, the Waves could manage only 9-201. Mitchell Cross took three wickets, while Jonah Koch and Akon Mawien claimed two each. The Spirit won two games across the championship but were out of contention after the group stage when rain made play impossible in the third match. 55 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ JANUARY 20, 2015
