Let’s stump cancer

SKY, BILLIE, CARTER AND ABBEY

A sea of pink took over Diggers Rest Primary School last week as pupils and teachers dressed up to show their support for the McGrath Foundation. The school was taking part in Pink Stumps Day, joining the likes of the Australian cricket team to show their support for the anti-cancer cause. Pupils made gold-coin donations for the occasion and their families were encouraged to donate online. All funds raised help the foundation raise money to fund breast care nurses in local communities and increase breast-care awareness in young Australians. Diggers Rest school principal Rachelle Hedger said the school had supported the McGrath Foundation through participation in stumps day for several years. “As a school we get involved in a number of different community events and charities, and this is one that stands out,” Ms Hedger said.

Drug use soars in Melton By Sumeyya Ilanbey Drug use in Melton surged 26 per cent in 2014, despite a 36 per cent drop in illicit drug cultivation and manufacture, according to the latest crime statistics. Melton police’s Senior Sergeant Barry Jenks said the higher drug use figures were a result of the ice epidemic, while more police in the municipality had led to higher detection rates. “We ran some operations, had high visibility and police presence,” Senior Sergeant Jenks said. “Our priority has been around volume crime

and catching the offender and a consequence of that is detection of people in possession of drugs.” Senior Sergeant Jenks said theft of and from motor vehicles and burglaries continued to cause a serious workload for local police. Theft from motor vehicles jumped to 462 in Melton in the year to December and, according to the Crime Statistics Agency, most Victorian offenders in the year to December were males between 15 and 19 (1445). Burglaries in Melton rose to 1181 and theft to 3551 in the 12 months to December.

Senior Sergeant Jenks said the community had no reason to feel threatened and unsafe in Melton and Caroline Springs. Sergeant Ken Anderson, of the Melton family violence unit, said while family violence reported to police was increasing, he believed there was still a high number of incidents that weren’t reported. “People are becoming more confident [about reporting it] and children can speak to someone at their school if they don’t want to speak to police, but certainly they should be speaking up,” Sergeant Anderson said.

“Theft from motor cars is a crime of choice and it’s an easy one,” Senior Sergeant Jenks said. “A lot of people leave their cars unlocked and leave valuables in cars and the offenders are not likely to encounter their victims.” He said many thieves stole credit and debit cards from cars to use “for five or six hours”. Meanwhile, assault and related offences fell by 10 per cent (886) and sexual offences by 30 per cent (136). But family violence reports to police rose by more than 13 per cent in the year to December (1790 incidents) and by 55 per cent since December 2010.

Call to fix Blackwood black spot By Yasemin Talat Moorabool council is urging Blackwood residents to lobby for the money to improve the area’s “atrocious” mobile phone coverage.

Although birds and bugs have ravaged the broccoli Shannon was growing, he’s ensuring the other plants are kept safe. His love affair with gardening began when he was two. Six years on, he’s entering gardening competitions through the Yates Junior Landcare challenge. Shannon entered the 2014 challenge and is hoping to enter the winter vegie challenge again this year. The competition challenges children of 17 and under to get into the backyard and document their gardening journey. Ms Roessen says it’s important for children

An eight-year-old avid gardener’s secret to growing herbs, vegies and fruits is simple but effective. “If you have a shower [nozzle] on the hose, use that because anything else will damage the plants,” Shannon Whitbread says.

Operation SAFE PL8 is back in town, with police encouraging drivers across Melton and Brimbank to ensure their car’s number plates are safe from thieves. The operation encourages drivers to have their plates secured with special one-way screws that can be removed only with a special tool. Police will fix the plates themselves at the Masters store in Burnside between 10am and 2pm on Saturday, March 28. All it will cost drivers is a gold coin donation. Crime prevention officer Leading Constable Matt Mudie said the biggest crime in the area was theft from motor vehicles, which included the theft of number plates. He said operations like SAFE PL8 were vital in reducing crime. “Plates are stolen for a reason and that’s to commit further crime,” Leading Constable Mudie said. He said it took only seconds for thieves to unscrew regular screws from number plates, but plates fitted with the one-way screws could not be removed. He said theft of plates had a ripple effect, with one offence turning into a numbers of different offences. He said police would keep pushing drivers to have their plates secured and he encouraged all motorists to make the most of the opportunity at Masters on Saturday. All funds raised will be donated to Whitelion, a non-profit organisation supporting vulnerable youth.

Rescued kittens need new home By Goya Dmytryshchak Two dumped kittens whose ears had to be surgically amputated to save their lives are in need of a “forever” home together. The pair of white kittens, named Otto and Lucy, were among a litter of four dumped in the Brooklyn industrial precinct. Western Suburbs Cat and Kitten Rescue (WSCKR) last week responded to a call from a factory worker who found the kittens when he arrived at work. WSCKR founder and Melton resident Nathan Miles said the kittens, aged between

12 and 16 weeks, were very affectionate and obviously domesticated. When rescuers collected them, the two white ones were in urgent need of medical attention on their bloodied and infected ears. Vets at the Lost Dogs’ Home determined both cats would need their ears removed to save their lives. “Whoever owned them before they dumped them, they basically left these kittens out in the sun … white cats are very prone to sun damage,” Mr Miles said. “The shocking thing is, I mean they’re only kittens

‘‘

These poor kittens were … cruelly disposed of like rubbish - Nathan Miles

’’

but yet they must have been left in the sun pretty much continuously because their ears have had to come off. “The ears looked terrible. They were all bald and full of scabs … according to the vet, there was cellular damage to the ear cells, which is the beginning signs of cancer so the

decision was that they had to be removed for the long-term welfare of the cat.” Mr Miles said good homes were sought for all four, but he wanted Otto and Lucy to be adopted as a pair. “Because of everything they’ve been through they have to go to an indoor-only home and it would make sense for the two of them to go together,” he said.. “These poor kittens were neglectfully cared for and then cruelly disposed of like rubbish.” For more information, call Mr Miles on 0400 988 931.

Safe hands at the wheel “Mentors feel they’re doing something valuable for the community and can see the difference the program has on young lives.” Mentor Katalina Tanner, of Brookfield, said it was important for locals to “invest their time” in the community and see it grow. “I wanted to invest my time to enhance the community and see Melton grow and improve in any way possible,” she said. Ms Tanner’s student, Jessica Hartley, 21, passed her hazard perception test two weeks ago and is hoping to sit for her driving test soon. “I don’t think I would have gotten my licence if it wasn’t for the L2P program,” Ms Hartley said. Sumeyya Ilanbey Katalina Tanner looks on as Jessica Hartley proudly displays her L-plate. (Joe Mastroianni) 1153559-FA37-14

The state government has restored funding to the L2P program, guaranteeing its future for the next four years. The program helps young people aged 16 to 20 achieve 120 hours of supervised driving by pairing them with a fully licensed driver. Melton L2P project officer Kim Leech says she’s “absolutely delighted” with the state government’s announcement. “L2P is such an important program – it makes such a difference,” Ms Leech said. “Driving is crucial for young adults if they’re seeking employment.” Ms Leech said young people without access to a car or a driving supervisor could be denied employment and schooling opportunities because of poor public transport links. “L2P connects a young person with a community member. It’s important to have that sense of belonging,” Ms Leech said.

Firefighting and animal rescue a perfect match Donna Zabinskas’s two greatest passions are firefighting and animal rescue and she manages to incorporate both into her life as a CFA volunteer. Ms Zabinskas joined the Greendale brigade when she moved to Moorabool more than 20 years ago. She said she wanted to support her community and learn more about how to protect her own home and family. Seven years ago she founded an animal welfare organisation, Ballarat and District Greendale Animal Rescue (BADGAR), which incorporates the Greendale wildlife shelter she runs. Ms Zabinskas works on the ground for both firefighting and wildlife welfare, rescuing

animals after bushfires. She also helps sick, injured and orphaned animals. “Helping people is a really important thing to do if you’re living in a rural community,” Ms Zabinskas said. “It’s not just a thing you do; you get involved, you meet people, you learn things and then when there’s an issue in the area you help,” she said. “Our local brigade is a very good brigade, very active, very supportive and very community-minded. It’s more than just about volunteers; it’s like a little extended family.” This month, the CFA is celebrating women like Ms Zabinskas, who is now a third lieutenant of the Greendale brigade, and

she’s encouraging more female volunteers to jump on board. “Sometimes women feel it’s not an area they could be confident in,” Ms Zabinskas said. “They feel it’s not something they would be able to do, and that’s not so. “It’s something they can do and they will be helped, trained and supported.” For information on how to volunteer, visit www.cfa.vic.gov.au.

Family violence help embraced By Sumeyya Ilanbey More than 1500 women have sought help for domestic violence from Women’s Health West (WHW) in the first two months of 2014 as the royal commission into family violence takes shape. WHW chief executive Robyn Gregory said police had referred 820 women in January and 760 women in February to the organisation. She expected the figures to rise as more women gained confidence in the system. “We’ve got a state government that’s taking family violence seriously, politicians who are taking it seriously; there are services available and the Australian of the year, Rosie Batty, has

put family violence more front and centre on the agenda,” Dr Gregory said. “And with that comes a spike in demand and services.” In January, Premier Daniel Andrews released the terms of reference for the Royal Commission into Family Violence and last month, the commission, headed by Justice Marcia Neave AO, was formally established. Dr Gregory said it was important for the community to highlight the support services available for victims of domestic violence without forcing them to make decisions. “The best thing we can do as a community is to speak up when we see or hear attitudes and behaviours that are encouraging of violence

‘‘

The best thing we can do as a community is - Robyn Gregory speak up

’’

against women and children,” she said. “And that we let women know there are [services] available that can support their right to safety.” Melton MP Don Nardella has organised free submission-writing workshops for Melton and Moorabool residents who would like to make a submission to the royal commission. The workshops will explore how to make a submission while providing an overview

and scope of the commission. Dr Gregory encouraged community groups to attend the workshops. “There might be a small community of women from Liberia in Melton. They may have something in particular to say about their community and what would work for it [or] what systems should be in place … [we support] anything that encourages that community to be able to have an input in a way that would be taken seriously.” The workshops will run from 7-8.30pm on Wednesday, April 1, at Melton library, 31 McKenzie Street, Melton; and from 7-8.30pm on Tuesday, April 7, at the Lerderderg library, 215 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh.

Moorabool defends finances By Sumeyya Ilanbey An auditor-general’s report has red-flagged Moorabool council’s financial sustainability. The Local Government: Results 2013-14 Audit, tabled in State Parliament last month, reported five Victorian councils – including Moorabool – as being high risk, compared with two in the previous financial year. But Moorabool council chief executive Rob Croxford defended the council’s financial sustainability, saying there were two reasons why Moorabool was deemed high risk.

“Instead of borrowing money from the bank, we borrowed through an MAV (Municipal Association of Victoria) bond issue,” Mr Croxford said. “That was all meant to have been finalised by June 30, but there were delays in getting the agreement sorted. “The financial assistance grant [from the federal government] has been received in advance in the past three years, but last year, for the 2014-15 financial year, the federal government didn’t give it in advance.” Mr Croxford said the council’s debt was “within guidelines”.

Auditor-General John Doyle agreed that a key reason for operating deficits was the federal government’s decision not to pay financial assistance grants in advance. “Local councils continue to face the challenges of delivering quality services to their community, maintaining their existing assets and funding future capital works,” Mr Doyle said. “To do this effectively, councils will need to effectively prioritise spending and determine sustainable rates for services provided within the government’s proposed rate capping policy.”

Mr Croxford said the federal government’s decision to “pause” its assistance grants to councils and the state government’s rate-capping policy meant Moorabool council might need to reconsider its level of service. “One of the key actions will be determining the levels of service we provide. For example, we might consider we are not going to mow every reserve in the shire four times a year; we’ll do it three times a year.” But Mr Croxford said no decisions had been made and the council had no plans of winding back on local grants and key services.

Kai boldly goes bald

rmers Market Melton Primary School’s Kai Coward stood up to the challenge of “be brave and shave” this month, his golden mane sacrificed for the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. The nine-year-old grade 4 pupil was surrounded by his friends, teachers and family when the shave took place at his school earlier this month. Although admitting he was a little nervous, Kai knew that there was an important task at hand. “I did it for charity, to help sick kids so they don’t die and so they can still live happy,” he said. Kai said he was thrilled to have the support of his school community. He said the new hair style would take some getting used to. “I feel a bit strange. When the wind comes it feels a little bit colder.” Classroom teacher Danny Roberts said all

the pupils did their bit on the day by donning crazy hair, hair colour and wigs to support the cause. “The children thoroughly enjoyed the day,” Mr Roberts said. “They were very enthusiastic about joining in the activities and showing off their crazy hair.” Mr Roberts said it was important that teachers and students embraced the school’s values, one of which is “caring”. “We pride ourselves on our involvement [and support] for organisations like the Leukemia Foundation and other organisations which need as much support as they can get,” he said. The school raised more than $600 for the foundation, while Kai has raised more than $380 independently. To sponsor Kai, visit www. worldsgreatestshave.com/ and search “Kai Coward”.

A 33-year-old man has been charged with the aggravated burglary of a house in Taylors Hill and other offences including burglary, car theft and using stolen credit cards during a string of offences throughout the western suburbs. Police said the man broke in to a house on Wisteria Close on March 16 while the owners slept upstairs. He has been remanded in custody.

Tim’s mushrooms rule By Yasemin Talat Moorabool mushroom grower Parwan Mushrooms has achieved a marketing coup with its chief executive, Tim Adlington, making his national television debut last week on Channel 7’s My Kitchen Rules. He and his family were invited to Sydney to be on the program. Mr Adlington, who appeared on the show on behalf of Coles, was one of 12 of the supermarket’s suppliers given the chance to showcase their products by having contestants use them in the cooking competition. Mr Adlington said he and his family enjoyed

the experience and had a great day meeting and working with other farmers and the contestants. “It was a long day of filming, but it was really quite enjoyable.” Mr Adlington said the food produced by the contestants was of high quality, and he had the best salmon he’d ever tasted while judging the dishes. “The food they produced and cooked that day was fine dining and really, really good cuisine,” he said. “They really produce some great stuff.” Each pair of contestants chose produce from a different farmer, with Parwan Mushrooms being picked up by contestants Kat and Andre,

who made pork and mushroom cabbage rolls with mushroom sauce. “I loved it,” Mr Adlington said of the dish. In the words of [judge] Colin [Fassnidge], the cabbage roll “is nice but when you put the mushroom sauce over it, it’s spectacular. It was an incredibly good mushroom sauce”. Mr Adlington said appearing on the show was a great way to shine the spotlight on local produce. “It makes me feel really proud of the industry.” Mr Adlington, who has been working with mushrooms all his life, says he loves this “fruiting body of a fungus”, especially the way they double in size every 24 hours.

Police believe two burglaries in Taylors Hill earlier this month may be linked. The first was in Durack Circuit on March 14. Police believe the offender jumped a back fence into the yard, broke into the house and stole jewellery and cigarettes. Between 1pm and 3pm the next day, a house on George Street was broken into and a laptop, jewellery and iPads were stolen. Durack Circuit residents reported seeing a man in the street at the time of the first break-in. He is described as Caucasian, in his late 30s, of skinny build and was wearing jeans, a white jacket with black stripes on the sleeves and cream or white baseball cap. He was riding a mountain bike.

Teens charged over hold-up

Two teenagers, 15 and 16, were arrested after an armed hold-up at a Hillside milkbar on March 16. They were caught after allegedly fleeing the Antoinette Way shop and were charged with armed robbery.

Melton’s focus this month is on women as part of a wider celebration for International Women’s Day. Melton council and Djerriwarrh Health Services rolled out ‘Making it Happen’ campaign posters throughout March to highlight the achievements and contributions of the city’s women. Anna Miller, who was featured in the campaign, says it’s important to recognise everyone’s contribution. “You get up in the morning and go,” she says. “You feel empowered thinking you’ve done what you’ve done, but it’s all a part of life.” Ms Miller says there is nothing extraordinary about women taking part in day-to-day life and contributing to the fabric of society, but she believes women need to find a stronger voice to speak about everyday topics. “Girls need more solid role models, people who are going to be great advocates for women. “Men and women both have roles to play, so we all need to be better role models for young people.” The Caroline Springs hairdresser opened her first Linear salon six years ago and the second two years ago. She says it’s important for employers and workplaces to realise the dual role of some women – mothers and employees – and flexibility needs to be shown. “You can have both; you can be a mum and a worker. But you have to be able to have a good work environment where your team can be flexible. “Your people need to be open to change and be flexible to change.” Djerriwarrh Health Services chief executive

Nathan Fino is a battler. The 15-year-old first went under the knife at three weeks of age when he had open heart surgery. He had follow-up surgery when he was three and another operation last year. The Royal Children’s Hospital was the Kurunjang teen’s second home and now his family is raising money for the Good Friday Appeal as a way to give back. “You always imagine you’re going to have a healthy baby,” mum Rachael Fino said. “The doctors and nurses were positive; they encouraged us that things would be OK.” The bubbly teenager, who has Down Syndrome, has recently started speaking

and the family is over the moon. Apart from helping Nathan, the hospital has been a support network for the family of five, and Rachael wants to extend her thanks. “If it wasn’t for the hospital, Nathan wouldn’t be here,” she said. “We just want to help as much as we can.” The Finos have organised a fun-filled family night out from 7pm on Friday, March 27, at Tabcorp Park, 2 Ferris Road, Melton South, to raise money for the Good Friday appeal.

Cultures chew it over

JAKOB AND BILLIE

Cultural diversity was celebrated in Moorabool shire last week when the Lerderderg library came alive with food and culture at a community lunch to celebrate Harmony Day. Chinese, Mexican, Japanese and Indian cuisines were on the menu and festivities included a traditional Chinese dragon dance. Prominent human rights advocate Abdi Aden also took to the stage to highlight the importance of inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging in the community. Five per cent of Moorabool residents speak a language other than English at home, according to the 2011 census. Mayor Paul Tatchell said many different cultures, notably Italian, Greek, Indian

and Indigenous Australians, made up the Moorabool community. “The Harmony Day celebration is an important community event for Moorabool residents to communicate the importance of cultural diversity in Australia,” Cr Tatchell said. “The children’s activities and cultural lunch created a fun, enjoyable and inclusive atmosphere.” Cr Tatchell said the shire continued to promote harmony and honour the benefits of multiculturalism by celebrating culturally significant dates such as NAIDOC Week, Reconciliation Week, A Taste of Harmony and Harmony Day.

Diggers Rest fire brigade is gearing up to host its sixth annual Family Fun Day this Saturday. The day will be filled with activities for families, including the popular free Easter egg hunt and children’s colouring competition. Fundraising co-ordinator Maree Welshe said the event was the volunteer brigade’s main fundraiser, which helped upgrade essential equipment used to support the community. Ms Welshe said brigade members and their families and friends would roll up their sleeves on Saturday to help put the event together and local businesses had jumped on board with donations. She said it was a great opportunity for the community to get behind the brigade while enjoying a great day out. “It is a real community vibe, the station can

just feel like one big family enjoying a fun-filled day together,” she said. Ms Welshe said children especially loved being at the station. “They look forward to looking over the fire trucks and, of course, getting to squirt a hose with a firefighter,” she said. Ms Welshe said the Family Fun Day was now a crowd favourite. “We like to be able to provide the community with a fun-filled event that allows them to show their support for the CFA and particularly the Diggers Rest Brigade,” she said. The event will be at the fire station on Plumpton Road from 9.30am-3pm on Saturday. For details, contact Maree on 0409 995 073.

Ink fans treated like royalty W

hatever the reason to get a tattoo, whether it be to pay a tiny tribute or to make a big bold statement, customers should get the royal treatment. Royal Ink Tattooing in Melton is a custom tattoo studio where experienced artists work with clients to create clean, quality tattoos in a friendly, fun and often humourous environment. Owners Zane and Tammy Stevens hand-picked a team of artists who have earned strong reputations in the four years the business has been running. They excel at producing amazing works in varied traditional or freehand styles, including new-school, portraits, Japanese, realism and neo-traditional designs and cover-ups in black, grey or colour. Although getting inked can be an exciting experience to remember forever, Royal Ink Tattooing also specialises in laser tattoo removal, revamping old tattoos or fading old tattoos for cover-ups. Tammy has been a make-up artist for 10 years but has been around the industry for 20 years supporting Zane’s career. She spearheads the laser tattoo removal part of the business. Inking clients are in the capable hands of seasoned artist Zane, who has more than 25 years’ experience and is well rounded in all styles of work but favours realism and Japanese art. Matt Bissell has five years under his belt and is seeking clients who are after a new-school aesthetic. Since the shop’s inception, Jake Danielson has built an extensive list of clients and executes beautiful designs with an aesthetic that appeals to the

masses. For clients after realistic or black and grey pieces, Lachie Marks is largely sought out for his ability to create designs that require intricate details. David Le, the most recent shop apprentice, is mostly inspired by neo-traditional and contemporary Asian art and art nouveau. Follow them all on Facebook or on Instagram: @royalinktattoos, @skin_pin_ tattoo, @bisselltattoos, @jaketattoos and @davidlegoon. Royal Ink Tattooing, 302A High Street Melton.

Ginger Club is also ideal for business functions and special occasions. “Our menu uses 100 per cent halal meat and we have vegetarian and gluten-free dishes available,” Rajesh says. “We respect the ingredients we cook with and create flavoursome meals for all. Our diners always have the best-quality food.” Ginger Club’s clay oven from India is used to cook delicious tandoori chicken, among other things. For an entrée, try the tawa lamb or chicken – boneless pieces of meat marinated in yoghurt and spices and served with mint sauce. Or how about fish amritsari – diced fish marinated in ginger, garlic and spices? Plenty of tasty treats cooked in the tandoor make mouthwatering mains. They include seekh kebab – minced lamb blended with a secret selection of herbs and spices, skewered and roasted; or

ook no further than Glitz & Glamour for a one-stop beauty spot as it celebrates its first birthday under new management next month. The hair and beauty salon, conveniently located in Melton’s Bakery Square, has serviced the Melton community for many years and will celebrate with some fabulous April specials. Owner Sharon Crooks says that the business remains the same at heart but it has undergone a makeover of its own that includes new equipment and many more services. Glitz & Glamour offers everything from hairdressing, wigs and waxing to spray tanning, make-up, facials, acrylic or gel nails, chemical hair straightening, eyebrow tinting and eyelash extensions and manicures and pedicures. All are offered in a friendly and inviting atmosphere. Sharon’s daughters have joined the family business. “One of my daughters has been hairdressing for about five years and the other is an apprentice,” Sharon says. “I took on the business for them.” Sharon believes clients are enjoying the new services, which is one reason why Glitz & Glamour has been nominated for the Australian Small Business Awards. The polite, caring and understanding staff are experienced and knowledgeable if clients have questions they need answered. Long-serving senior stylists Tina, with 28 years’ experience, and Liza, with 30 years, have worked at the salon for many years and have a loyal clientele.

The Impresario Theatre in Bacchus Marsh is the new home for Performing Arts Headquarters. (Supplied)

Local lessons, life experience T

here’s a new centre for Bacchus Marsh’s community theatre company that’s aiming to be a hotbed of talent for the region. Performing Arts Headquarters is a music, dance, drama school and theatre company borne from one teacher’s drive to provide opportunities in the arts for children, adults and families in Bacchus Marsh and surrounding areas. At heart, the school hasn’t changed, despite moving from its small home studio to the renovated Impresario Theatre.

The school caters for an array of students. Adults come for their weekly escape from the norm or to revisit skills from days gone by, while kids just want to have fun. Some of the school’s students have gone on to professional careers in orchestras, television, film and teaching. School owners John Paul and Mai Pyin strive to provide the best instructors in music, dance and drama. “PAHQ is a family-run school that prides itself on knowing each and every one of

their students personally, whether they are a music student from one of their school-based instrumental music programs, a pre-school dancer at their first ballet lesson, an adult who has always wanted to sing, a local actor who dreams of stardom or a seasoned performer who is a regular cast member of the community musical theatre company,” John says. Students gained valuable experience last year when the school’s annual music, dance and drama showcases were staged, to rave reviews, at the Malthouse Theatre at

Southbank. Check out the Performing Arts Headquarters music shop, in the foyer of the Impresario Theatre. The shop has an impressive array of music books, accessories, strings, guitars, drums, pianos and woodwinds and other instruments, with brands that include Yamaha. Performing Arts Headquarters, 5 Grant Street, Bacchus Marsh. Opens 10am-6pm Monday-Thursday. Inquiries: 5367 6864 or email info@pahq.com.au.

Melton’s state-of-the art scans C

oronary heart disease is the leading cause of death and illness in Australia, accounting for 30 per cent of all deaths. Heart attacks kill one Australian every 26 minutes. Risk factors for heart disease include smoking, high cholesterol, being overweight or obese, lack of physical activity and poor diet. Identifying the need to provide another method to assist in the detection of heart disease to the Melton community, Lake Imaging has started SestaMIBI stress myocardial perfusion scans at its Unitt Street site. SestaMIBI is the name of a highly specialised drug that is injected into an arm vein. It then circulates through the bloodstream and settles in the healthy heart muscle. If the heart muscle is unhealthy or has been damaged, the MIBI will show abnormal blood supply at this location through a series of images. Following the injection of the SestaMIBI, images are taken resting and then after exercise to help demonstrate changes that may only be seen when the heart is functioning under physical activity. Findings from the scan, communicated directly to the referring doctor, can include demonstration of part of the heart muscle having reduced blood supply (indicating a narrowed artery), a scar on the heart muscle (from old damage), or a heart muscle that’s strong and healthy. Benefits of an MIBI scan over other examinations are the demonstration of the blood supply to the heart muscle

Lake Imaging’s MIBI scans are at the cutting edge of heart disease medicine. (Kristian Scott)

service, Lake Imaging Melton is the only provider of nuclear medicine and MIBI scans in the region, with all MIBI scans being bulk-billed. If you feel that you are at risk of heart disease, speak to your GP about a referral for a MIBI scan.

Don’t be a road stat, says cop M

ore police will be out on the roads this Easter, ensuring everyone gets home safely to their families after the holiday. The Easter campaign will be conducted from April 2-6 to reduce road trauma over what is traditionally a high-risk period. Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Ross Burbidge said Victoria Police would use a strategic and focused approach to target speed, alcohol and drug use, driver distraction, fatigue and seatbelts. Police intelligence over the past three months shows speed and careless driving are among the leading causes of road trauma in Victoria. RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council chairman Jim Giddings said it had been demonstrated time after time that speed was a contributing factor in most road crashes. “Stay within the speed limit and drive to suit the conditions you are facing,” he said. “Speeding affects both the risk of a crash happening and the severity of injuries sustained when a crash does happen.” Police in marked and unmarked vehicles will target our major arterial roads, freeways and highways throughout the state during the Easter holiday break. Mr Giddings said the entire community had a responsibility and a role to play in reducing road trauma.

“Road trauma isn’t just about the people who die – it’s about the enormous impact on the community, from the family members, to the emergency services workers who have to deal with these tragedies on a daily basis, to the police who have to deliver the devastating news to loved ones,” he said. The community can report speeding drivers to Crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Road safety tips • Drive in the hours you are normally awake, take regular breaks to reduce fatigue and allow extra space between vehicles. • Adapt to the conditions of the road, taking into account weather and the quality of the road. • If you plan to have a drink then plan not to drive. • Check your vehicle’s tyres, windscreen washers, brakes and lights before you leave.

Senior Sergeant Ross Burbidge of Melton Highway Patrol. (Wayne Hawkins)

As John Williamson once wrote, “All Australian boys need a shed,” and this 835-square-metre property delivers in spades. The 12 x 7.5-metre remote-controlled workshop at the rear has a high enough ceiling for a hoist and ample room for a full range of tools and equipment: a possibly perfect man-cave. The house has four bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes; the main has a walk-in robe and en suite. The kitchen has a wall oven, cooktop and rangehood; a servery-style breakfast bar overlooks the large family-meals area. The big lounge room and a separate dining room provide additional living and dining options. Entertaining guests should be fun, thanks to the large patio area with a wood-fired pizza-oven. Extras include security system and ducted heating and cooling. A short drive from Melton train station, shops, schools and parks, this property is sure to have admirers forming a queue… Did we mention the shed?

This contemporary house, with its white-and-charcoal colour palette, porcelain floor tiles, high ceilings and ducted heating throughout, could be a great opportunity for those looking to downsize, first-home buyers and investors alike. All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom has a semi-recessed square vanity basin. The kitchen adjoins a large family-meals area and comes with dishwasher, stainless-steel underbench oven, gas cooktop and breakfast island. The low-maintenance front yard and spacious backyard complete the property, both offering a near-blank canvas for the horticulturally inclined. The lock-up garage provides secure parking for one vehicle. It’s within a walk of Navan Park and only a short drive from schools, Woodgrove Shopping Centre, Western Freeway access and train station.

The kitchen is smart and streamlined, with a breakfast bench topped with soft-grey laminate, white-tiled splashback, and dishwasher, underbench oven, gas cooktop and canopy rangehood all with Bellissimo Technika label. Side and backyards are a mix of lawn, riverstones and mulch and a small pond amid cottage blooms is a pretty touch.

Fig, lemon, pear, plum and orange trees are part of the landscaping, promising a future harvest for the whole family to enjoy. The property also has ducted heating and cooling, an alarm system and remote-controlled double garage with internal access through the entry hall. It’s around the corner from a community centre with kindergarten and childcare, and a short drive from Woodgrove Shopping Centre and train station.

Another Happy & Satisfied Customer from

After having several different Real Estate companies come out to talk to my husband and l about the possibility of selling our home we had no hesitation in choosing PRD Nationwide. Cory and the team were so great when it came to listening to my families needs and really supportive throughout the whole selling process! The friendly nature of the staff combined with their professionalism made it such a smooth and a much less stressful sell. Not only did they assist us so brilliantly with selling our home but they found our family a new place to call home ....and we couldn’t be happier!!! Thanks Cory for all your hard work and thank you for making our dream come true!!!!! From Wendy and Peter Morda (19/03/2015) 36 Maplewood Drive Brookfield

RHEINGAU RHEINHESSEN

Racy Rheingau

Further down the Rhine valley is the Rheingau. “Rheingau is similar in character to the wines of the nearby Nahe,” Christmann says. “Maybe it’s a bit better: it’s a bit warmer, so they do a more dry style, but these dry-style wines from Rheingau have to be also a bit higher in sugar. Something around 7-9 grams, for example, because Rheingau acidity is also very steely, very sharp.”

NAHE PFALZ

“The next area on the River Rhine is Rheinhessen, where it’s becoming warmer,” Christmann says. “There is a real difference between the north and south in the region. In the north, it’s close to Rheinhessen and to the Rheingau River, and in the south it’s coming over to the next area, Pfalz.

“Rheinhessen is one of the most successful areas for dry riesling in Germany.” Pfalz is the largest single producer of riesling in the world, with 6000 hectares planted with riesling vines. “It is maybe the magic point for dry style,

“Then we come to the next area on the journey, also a river that goes into the River Rhine. It’s the Nahe,” Christmann says. “It’s also a quite cool area, with very different soil types and it’s successful with dry-style rieslings on one hand, but also with sweet ones. “The dry-style riesling of Nahe is very vibrant, it’s lean, it’s a mineral wine, and not too full-bodied.”

For me, this was the summer of riesling. Judging by my social media feeds, I wasn’t alone. But there’s no reason to let a change in season keep me from riesling. The myriad styles the noble grape produces make it suitable drinking all year round. Australia excels in dry, refreshing riesling and, as the days get shorter and the nights cooler, I’ll look towards the diversity in the wines from Germany for my riesling fix. From the Mosel in the north to the Pfalz down south, the style of riesling changes from sweet to off-dry and dry. Balance is the key to German riesling as winemakers strive for harmony between intense acid, flavour and sugar. In order, from sweet to dry, the major styles are auslese, spätlese, kabinett and trocken. The style is usually on the label, but knowing what each area specialises in makes choosing easy. No winemaker is better placed to talk about German riesling styles than Steffen Christmann, president of the Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter – a century-old association of Germany’s top wine producers. “Let us start in the north and go south, which means going from cool temperatures to warm temperatures,” says Christmann, a winemaker in Pfalz. “There are big differences in climate and in soils, and that makes rieslings in Germany quite different.”

potassium but is poor in organic nutrients and nitrogen] and the combination of the cooler temperatures and schist makes wines more steely, more lean,” Christmann says. “Riesling at the Mosel River is mostly balanced, with higher sugar levels. Traditionally it was sweet: fantastic kabinetts, light and elegant, more complex spätlese and very dense auslese.”

SPORT Bowlers to the rescue for Diggers Rest Diggers Rest Bulla left it to the last moment, not for the first time this season, to escape with a first innings lead in Gisborne Cricket’s B-grade grand final against East Sunbury. After a dismal batting display at Diggers Rest Oval which left Burras captain-coach Rhys Berry “not a very happy skipper” it was again left to the Burras bowlers to try to save the day. The Burras made just 118, with Lincoln Grant top-scoring with 20. Jessy Carroll was the best of the bowlers for the Thunder with 5-71. “We struggled with the bat after being 2-40,” Berry said. “We should have made the most of the start, but we played ordinary shots so I wasn’t happy.” The Burras’ time in the field didn’t start that well either. “They were 1-56 and there were a few blokes down in the dumps,” he said. “Then they were

4-70 but still in control and it didn’t look good for us.” Then things started to turn the Burras’ way. “Darren Quarrell was fantastic and wickets started to fall,” Berry said. “He [Quarrell] got 5-38 off 17 overs and Lindon Dowsett again chipped in at the right time. “He’s our best batsman and he got a duck and let me down on day one, but he bounced back with 4-14. “It got really exciting when they were nine wickets down and they needed five runs to pass our total. “Their coach, Mark Hourigan, was still in and I thought he would try to get it over and done with. “Instead there were three maidens and then Hourigan had a mishit which my brother [Warren] caught.” East Sunbury was all out for 115.

Berry said it was hard to keep the emotions in check knowing the job wasn’t over. “It was a rollercoaster of emotions and I think I’ve aged five years in the last two days,” he said. “We still have a job to do and our batsmen were good enough to keep their minds on the job. “We got to 0-50 in our second innings, which is our best batting start for the year.” The Burras will resume on day three at 2-71 and if they don’t lose wickets, Berry thinks the match may not last the day. “If we can stay two wickets down at drinks, then they may think about calling the game off. “If we had been no wickets down at stumps, the game may not have gone into day three.” For more photos, go to www.melton. starweekly.com.au.

Lions’ title dream over By Liam Twomey Melton’s Sub District Cricket premiership dream is over after the Lions were eliminated from the finals by Plenty Valley at the weekend. With a place in the north-west grand final on the line, the Bats took control of the match at AK Line Reserve on day one when they amassed a huge total after winning the toss. Plenty Valley smashed 7-345 on the back of a stunning innings from 42-year-old opener Sean Ayres, who made a brilliant 149. Fellow opener Kamalesh Murugsan made 75 as the pair combined for a partnership of 148. Melton speedster Brad Jones eventually got Murugsan’s wicket, but by then the damage was done. Plenty Valley’s middle order cashed in on the hot start, propelling the total to more than 300. Melton captain Nathan Allen was the Lions’ only multiple wicket-taker, finishing the innings with 3-60. In reply, Melton was unable to get close to the total with Ayres returning to cause more havoc on day two. Showing no signs of fatigue from his batting performance, he took 6-68 to cap off a brilliant individual match. The result means the Bats move into the grand final, where they will take on Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows. After finishing the home-and-away season on top of the ladder, Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows continued its run of good form with a comprehensive win against Altona in their semi-final at Lakeside Drive. The A’s were bowled out for 99 in their first innings, a target the Falcons passed with four wickets in hand. Lee Elmore (26) and James Grubb (20) were the only Altona batsmen to reach 20. The grand final will be played at Lakeside Drive Reserve on Friday and Saturday.

Tuckey set to go for Burras Diggers Rest forward Brent Tuckey is all but certain to be fit for the Burras’ opening match of the Riddell Football League season. Tuckey injured his elbow in round three last year and missed the rest of the season. But after the extended time on the sidelines and a full pre-season under his belt, the former Collingwood AFL player is ready to go. Diggers Rest coach Shaun Sims praised Tuckey for his hard work in getting back to full fitness. “Brent is excellent as a person and what he does for our football club,” Sims said. “He hasn’t missed a session and is looking good. He’s excited to get back into it; he wants to get out there.” The reintegration of a fully fit Tuckey into the Burras’ line-up caps off what has been a brilliant off-season for the club. Diggers Rest has added Essendon league duo Dean Smith and Jamie Lobb as well as Jamerson Campbell from Sunbury Kangaroos. After losing the past two grand finals, Sims says the focus is on looking forward to improving rather than looking back on missed opportunities. “If you’re thinking about the year just gone then you’re probably looking at the wrong thing,” he said. “We’re more interested in focusing on how we can improve, how we can learn from the things we did well last year and the things we probably didn’t. “That comes along when you review everything. We review our coaching, we review the way we run our club, what we think we need player-wise and what we need to do training-wise.” Diggers Rest played its first practice match of the pre-season last week, taking on EDFL side Taylors Lakes. The Burras will also play Castlemaine and Darley in the lead-up to the club’s round one fixture against Riddell. Sims says he’s expecting a much more even competition this season. “In the past there has been that top six that everyone bangs on about,” he said. “I think you’ll find that if you’re off your game against some of the sides that were outside the six last year, you might get a rude shock.” Liam Twomey

East beast flattens Jets By Lance Jenkinson The Western Jets had the L-plates on in their TAC Cup season opener. The new-look Jets are unlikely to face a much steeper learning curve than the one they confronted in Saturday’s 122-point loss to Eastern Ranges at Ikon Park. The contrast in experience between the sides showed on the scoreboard, with the Ranges turning the game into a whitewash with a breathtaking 16-goals-to-four second half. While not shying away from his disappointment at a breaking down of team structures and waning concentration levels after half-time, Jets coach Torin Baker put the defeat into perspective. “Most experts in the comp would say Eastern are going to be a strong group this year,” he said. “They’ve got some really good top-end talent. They played a lot of their players as bottom-agers last year and now they have a fair bit of experience. “For us, we had only four players who represented us in the elimination final, so it was a really new group from last year. “We took in eight first-gamers; 14 of the players had played under five games, and we’re missing some real experience at the moment to be able to help those boys. “Put all that together, the good talent we were playing against and a pretty new group, our boys were just outclassed.” This competition is all about opportunities

and there are going to be plenty of chances for Jets’ players to stake their claim for starting positions this season. Jets defender Liam Carter got his chance to play on premium forward Sam Weideman, a grandson of two-time Collingwood premiership star Murray, son of former Collingwood player Mark and an early tip to be a high draft pick later this year. Carter turned an unfavourable situation – the ball was constantly being pumped into his defensive zone by an incessant Ranges midfield – into a performance that would have people in high places taking note. Carter, who is back with the Jets under the 19-year-old rule, kept Weideman to two goals. The other Ranges forward on the recruiters’ radar is Blake Hardwick, who finished with eight goals to be best player on the ground. Hardwick led Jets first-game players Brodie Romensky and Judah Dundon a merry dance, but Baker sees the education of playing on such a highly rated player as priceless for the pair. “For them to be able to get that sort of experience will be good for their development,” Baker said. The Jets will head to RAMS Arena in Craigieburn for their second-round clash against Sandringham Dragons on Sunday.

61 MELTON & MOORABOOL STAR WEEKLY \ MARCH 24, 2015

SPORT MELTON.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Centrals all set, but fingers crossed for star’s return Melton Centrals coach Randy Pereira is hopeful star shooter Rebecca Morabito will play in the forthcoming Riddell netball season. Before Christmas, Pereira listed Morabito as a one per cent chance to play following the Centrals’ 2014 premiership success. But he now believes the odds have increased to 60 per cent with Morabito reconsidering her plans to take a year off. “I spoke to Bec this morning and I’m still optimistic that I’ll be able to get her over the line,” Pereira said last week. “She is softening a little bit so we will wait

and see. We have got our fingers crossed. At this stage, we feel there’s probably more chance of her playing.” Pereira’s eagerness to get Morabito back for another year is understandable. The shooter has dominated the RDNL competition in recent years and led the Centrals to the flag last season. She was outstanding in the club’s grand final win against Riddell, proving a constant headache for defenders. The Centrals have taken some steps to cover her potential loss, signing Shelby Brady from

Victorian Netball League club North East Blaze. “Shelby played division 1 with Blaze last year and is a good gaoler,” Pereira said. “She started playing under-19s with us a few years ago and then last year played under-19s with Blaze. “She’s tallish so that will give us a goaler with a bit of height. It could also give us three goalers in our squad, which is good.” Of last year’s premiership side, Rebecca Wilson will not be returning as she’s taking a break. Pereira believes last year’s runners up,

Riddell, will be among the teams to beat in the coming season. “Riddell have added a few VNL girls so they will be strong again,” he said. “With the VNL season starting early because of the netball World Cup, it means those players are going to be available at the business end of the season. “Rockbank has recruited pretty well, too, so it will be interesting to see how they go.” The RDNL season begins next month.

who do come and play for the club with the culture and the standard we set. That’s a big focus we’ve had. “Captaining the side, I’ve got great support through my vice-captain and captains in the lower grades. We share the workload really well.” While the Eagles expect to celebrate their

premiership success for a while yet, there are no plans to slow down the club’s development. Scalzo said Eynesbury was aiming to have a full complement of junior teams as well as two more senior teams in the next five years. The Eagles are also looking to settle on a home ground.

It was a weekend to savour for the Eynesbury Cricket Club. The Eagles stormed to two premiership wins, claiming the Western Suburbs United Churches Cricket Association first and second XI flags. While some clubs go years without tasting premiership success, Eynesbury’s dominance comes in just its third season since forming. Club president Matt Scalzo explained that a change of mindset at the end of last season was catalyst for the success. After the first XI was knocked out of the 2013-14 finals race in the first round, Eynesbury looked to strengthen its two-day cricket division by adding a second side, while its third XI remained in the one-day competition. The adjustments took a while to click. “At the start of this season we didn’t have the right balance across the three grades and our first XI lost our first match of the year,” Scalzo said. “It was a bit of a shell shock, but we regrouped and worked hard, and after about round three or four we balanced all the sides out. “The first XI finished the home-and-away season on top of the ladder and the second XI finished second.” It was also a great season for the Eagles’ thirds, who narrowly missed out on making it a hat-trick of premierships for the club after losing its grand final. For Scalzo, the overall success of the club capped off an incredibly busy year. As well as being the president, he is senior coach and first XI captain. Having also founded the club, Scalzo said he didn’t mind having a lot on his plate. “Coaching is more man-management than coaching because the boys are very motivated,” he said. “Mainly we are pushing our culture and how we want people to behave. I think the club is really positively influencing guys

MOTOR Match made in heaven By Alistair Kennedy In the late 1960s new rules were imposed on all racing car manufacturers requiring that all Formula Two cars be based on derivatives of production cars and that at least 500 units be made available to the general public. This new requirement put Ferrari into a difficult situation. It had spent a lot of time and money developing a new engine but wasn’t in the business of mass-producing cars. Enzo Ferrari had recalled a conversation he had with the Fiat management at the 1964 Turin Motor Show which went along the lines of: “If you ever need any help you only have to ask.” And so he did. Such a request must have seemed like a godsend to the Fiat management. At that time they were looking at the possibility of designing a new model to replace the ageing and rather unfashionable 2300S coupe. The concept seemed right and they entered into an agreement with Ferrari to produce the engine in production quantities. When the first Fiat Dino prototype was put on display at the Turin Motor Show in 1966 it was received with enthusiastic acclaim both The 1966 Fiat Dino was powered by a Ferrari engine.
