Kindy gets new lease on life PICTURE: SCOTT McNAUGHTON

BY ANDRIA COZZA PARENTS are delighted that a preschool at Mowbray College’s former Brookside campus is thriving after winning the fight to stay open. ‘‘This is a nice result for something that has been horrendous for our community,’’ Caroline Springs parent Eliza Agapiou said.

The future of Mowbray’s two sites in Caroline Springs and one in Melton has been uncertain since the independent school collapsed under an $18 million debt and was placed in liquidation last month.

Mrs Agapiou, Tracey MacKenzie and Emma Nathan worked with the failed school’s bank, NAB, administrators JP Downey & Co and kindergarten staff to continue the Montessoristyle education of their three- and four-yearold children. ‘‘We started gathering expressions of interest from parents and from there we built a business case,’’ Mrs Agapiou said.

Parents and staff approached Early Childhood Management Services (ECMS), a not-forprofit community enterprise, to handle legal and financial responsibilities.

After a five-week closure, the former Mowbray kindergarten reopened as ‘Kinder for Kids’ at the start of term 3. Sixty-one students are enrolled and parents are hoping for increased enrolments next year. ‘‘Out of all of this sadness there is at least a little glimmer of hope at keeping the Mowbray story alive,’’ Ms MacKenzie said.

ECMS chief executive Bernie Nott said the organisation was concerned that the early education of many children could have been disrupted. ‘‘We know quality, early education is so important for the social, emotional and cognitive development of children,’’ he said.

Meanwhile, Melton Council’s application to rezone the former Patterson campus in Melton to a special use zone ‘for education purposes’ is still being reviewed by the state’s Planning Minister. The move was made in an effort to prevent the former school being sold off for housing development.

A spokesman for JP Downey said the administrator was still investigating Mowbray’s

collapse and any eventual findings would be reported to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Deloitte was appointed receiver and manager in June. A spokesman for the firm said agents would soon be appointed to market the assets of the three campuses.

Western Institute of Technology chief executive Intaj Khan, who last month told the

www.westcare.net.au/dental

Weekly he hoped to buy the land to launch a new school, said he had been frustrated by the process. ‘‘Why are they taking so long? They should give it to someone who is interested educationally. I understand the investigating is taking place, but that is separate. The assets are there.’’ Mr Khan said it was important for the former site to continue to be used for education as there was a growing need in the area.

INBRIEF

Heritage award for homestead Melton’s historic Morton Homestead took out the ‘cultural heritage’ honour at this year’s Keep Australia Beautiful ‘Victoria sustainable cities’ awards. Melton mayor Justin Mammarella (pictured) said the award recognised the importance and value of preserving the shire’s heritage. ‘‘Council is extremely proud to have restored Morton Homestead to its former glory while giving it a new lease of life as a vibrant community hub for residents to enjoy.’’ The homestead is a rare example of an early 20th century farmstead and will be used for community programs, including planned activities for the elderly.

Wire thieves target new homes About $3000 worth of wiring has been stolen from a house under construction in Burswood Place, Melton West. The theft occurred between 4pm on July 31 and 7.30am the next day. Wiring was also taken from another house being built on McKenzie Street, Melton, between July 27 and 30.

Driver loses car for 30 days A Meadow Heights man had his Commodore car impounded for 30 days after being caught speeding at 156km/h in an 80 zone on July 31.

Police said the man, 23, had four passengers aged 14-17 on board when he was pulled over on the Melton Highway at Hillside about 8pm. He will be charged on summons with speeding offences.

Man to face court over speeding A Hoppers Crossing man, 23, was caught travelling at 155km/h in a 100 zone in Greigs Road, Mount Cottrell, about 8am on July 25. He will be charged on summons to attend Bacchus Marsh Magistrates Court at a later date.

Growing problem: Les Twentyman is calling for a summit on youth violence.

Youth violence summit on way

BY EUGENE BENSON and ANDRIA COZZA YOUTH worker and community activist Les Twentyman’s call for a summit on what he calls the ‘‘growing rate of youth violence gripping Melbourne’s inner and outer suburbs’’ has been heeded.

Catholic Regional College, Caroline Springs, will be venue of a summit to be held on August 15 from 10.30am.

It will have the theme ‘Keeping kids in the classroom and out of the courtroom’.

Mr Twentyman, who has worked with young people in the western suburbs for more than 25 years, said gang violence across the west was at unprecedented levels.

He said much of the violence went unreported, which was why police crime statistics didn’t

tell the full story. “It is imperative that we act now to put into place real solutions to tackle the continued growth in youth-related violence,’’ he said.

“We’re bringing together all parties, from government, police, senior educators, community leaders, sports clubs, business — all with the aim of putting proactive programs in place that get kids back in school and involved in the community through arts and sports programs. ‘‘The crisis at the moment is around kids not going to school. It’s when they aren’t going to school and are hanging around that they get into trouble.’’

Mr Twentyman’s call for a summit was supported by African community leader Abselom Nega.

Mr Nega, the director of Flemington-based youth education group iEmpower, said it didn’t help talking about which areas were worse than others. ‘‘It doesn’t help to single out a particular area; that’s why we talk about the north-west region.’’

But Melton’s Inspector Mario Fiorentino said he did not agree that the level of gang violence was unprecedented.

He said while groups of young people were sometimes involved in anti-social activities or committing offences, most offences were ‘‘random, spasmodic and opportunistic’’.

He said police engaged with community and government partners to promote youth-related issues and were involved in a number of referral processes for at-risk youth.

Pet owners unleash rego fee complaints

BY ANDRIA COZZA RESPONSIBLE pet owners in Melton are being slugged unfair registration costs, according to the manager of an animal rescue service.

But Melton Council has defended its fees, saying the fee for unsterilised animals, in particular, were increased to promote responsible pet ownership Speaking after a flurry of animal management concerns were raised via social media, Western Suburbs Animal Rescue Service manager Nathan Miles claimed Melton residents were getting a raw deal.

‘‘[The costs are] higher overall than all the councils we border. And in return we get fewer animal management services . . . Wyndham, Hume and Brimbank collect stray cats and Melton refuses to.’’

Mr Miles said other councils provided a pound that was open in business hours on weekdays and weekends, or they allowed residents to access their animals via the Lost Dogs’ Home. ‘‘Brimbank and Hume councils are under the Lost Dogs’ Home, so residents can access their pound seven days a week except Sundays, when the Lost Dogs’ Home is open until 1pm. That’s more than our pound is open on weekdays.’’

Mr Miles said registration of a sterilised dog in Melton cost $32 — $17.60 more than in Wyndham. A sterilised cat in Melton costs $17 ($2.60 more than Wyndham). Fees for animal owners who are pensioners are also higher.

But Melton Council’s compliance manager, Ian Stewart, said the fee for unsterilised animals had increased to promote responsible pet ownership. ‘‘Council has increased all fees in line with the consumer price index,’’ he said. ‘‘Council believes that the cost to register an animal is not excessive for the responsible pet owner, costing less than a dollar a week.’’

Deputy mayor Cr Broden Borg met a number

of residents following concerns raised online about the pound’s operating conditions.

Mr Miles attended the meeting and said that while it was productive, many people still had serious concerns. ‘‘Council staff still believes that the [pound] service they provide is good,’’ he said, ‘‘which I disagree strongly with.’’

Mr Stewart said a new animal management community liaison committee would give feedback to the council after reviewing local services. ‘‘We believe the hours of the pound meet needs. Residents can also make appointments outside opening hours in some circumstances.’’

Gums ‘too low to be a hazard’

Historians shake clues out of family trees

MELTON Council has defended planting gum trees beneath power lines in Unitt Street after residents raised fears about an increased risk of fire.

Resident Ray Wagner said he believed the council should have chosen a different species of tree, slamming the decision to plant eucalypts as ‘‘irresponsible’’.

But council operation manager Greg Wood said the species chosen grew only to a maximum of three metres.

The trees were chosen to establish a streetscape while acknowledging the power lines in the area. ‘‘The species chosen is a small tree that provides bright red new foliage and a wonderful flowering display from December to March,’’ Mr Wood said.

He said the overhead power lines would not pose a concern because the trees were not expected to need pruning.

‘‘My dad was also a historian and in 1976 was featured on This is Your Life.’’ ‘‘That’s where Aileen gets her penchant for research as well as being a teacher librarian,’’ Mr Cleal adds.

Mr Cleal encourages residents to visit the exhibition and possibly learn more about their own ancestry.

The exhibition is until August 20, at the information centre in High Street.

Mr Cleal and Ms Smith will hold a floor talk at 11.30am on August 15.

The pair are also available to help with free family history research at Melton library at Victoria University on the first and third Wednesdays each month. Details: 9747 8027

MELTON family historians Max Cleal and Aileen Smith say that through their research they have uncovered many family truths.

Not only have they uncovered the general history of their relatives, they’ve also answered many a question regarding genetic traits and other matters relating to their own personal health. ‘‘You get to know much, much more about yourself when researching your family,’’ Mr Cleal says.

The pair met through Melton Family History Group more than 10 years ago and have been teaching beginner courses in genealogy ever since.

As part of National Family History Week, which finishes Saturday, Ms Smith and Mr Cleal have prepared a photo exhibition at the Melton Visitor Information Centre. ‘‘I’ve inherited lots of family photos,’’ Ms Smith says.

Let’s talk about ‘sexting’

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM

Our senior tax consultants will attend to your personal tax matters.

TEEN ‘sexting’ and cyberbullying will be the focus of a series of Brimbank and Melton Community Legal Centre workshops.

The cyber safety forums will target students in years 6-8. Dates and venues will be determined following expressions of interest.

Community West chief executive Rachna Muddagouni says the workshops will educate adolescents on the dangers of cyberbullying and risky online behaviour, including the sending of sexually loaded text messages (sexting). ‘‘The age for young people engaging in social networks and owning their own mobile phone continues to become younger,’’ she said. ‘‘Parents often buy phones for their children without understanding the risks this technology poses.’’

Ms Muddagouni said many young people failed to understand the dangers of texting or emailing inappropriate photos of themselves. ‘‘Those images can last forever . . . we want young people to know that if they feel they are being cyberbullied there are laws that can protect them. We don’t want to focus only on schools but also host workshops for groups within newly emerging communities in Brimbank and Melton.

We are open Saturdays, 9am to 4pm.

Switching on: Community lawyers Laura Heffes, Khanh Nguyen and Craig Stabler. ‘‘We are hoping to reach parents who may not be aware of the dangers of advancing technology and social networks.’’

According to Australian Communications and Media Authority research, 94 per cent of youth aged 14-15 have at least one social networking profile and 61 per cent of children aged 12-17 are likely to accept a friendly request from a stranger.

Ms Muddagouni said legal centre lawyers will begin targeting schools in the next month. Details: 8312 2000

MPs trade jibes over homeless HOUSING Minister Wendy Lovell has denied Opposition claims that public housing applications increased in Melton and Moorabool in the past quarter.

Ms Lovell said the Sunshine office, which covers Melton, recorded a fall of 178 applications in the June quarter, while the Ballarat office, covering Moorabool, had a decrease of 45.

Ms Lovell said the Sunshine office received applications from about 30 suburbs, while the Ballarat office covers about 20 suburbs and towns. ‘‘The government acquired 1600 new properties last financial year, and 1150 new properties are to be acquired this financial year. ‘‘Total figures for the Sunshine office waiting list have fallen by 8.5 per cent since the government was elected, while figures for the Ballarat

office have fallen by 9.1 per cent.’’ Ms Lovell said that before Melton Labor MP Don Nardella played ‘‘political games’’ with public housing tenants, he should reflect on his own party’s ‘‘poor record.’’ Mr Nardella said the fact was that public housing investment had collapsed under the Liberals. ‘‘Wendy Lovell needs to come clean,’’ he said. ‘‘Will she engage in a wholesale privatisation of public housing? Will she limit the time people can stay in public housing? Will she make them pay more than 25 per cent of their income in rent?’’ Mr Nardella said that any reduction in public housing waiting list figures was due only to record federal investment.

He said the past two state budgets had not provided any funding for new public housing.

Teacher Donna Teven said children showed creativity with the items they presented to their peers, including granules of rice and marbles. One pupil surprised everyone when he presented 25 model cars and said that by counting the wheels, the total was 100.

Scheme hard-won

COUNTRY CLUB

PIZZA & PASTA MORNING NIGHT FRIDAY 10TH AUGUST MELODIES

BY BENJAMIN MILLAR CARERS pushing for the rollout of a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) have slammed the political bickering that threatened to derail its trial.

Premier Ted Baillieu backed down after a ferocious reaction to his decision not to help fund a Victorian pilot of the scheme, which will make it possible for people with permanent disability to get the care and support they require.

Albanvale’s Mervin Frost, whose adult son and nephew have fragile X syndrome, said the scheme was badly needed as too many families affected by disability were left to fend for themselves. “Anything that helps people in this situation has to be better than the current system.”

Mr Frost said his family was forced to sell its house and move to Ballarat because there was no secure welfare accommodation in the western suburbs. His son Matthew is now in appropriate care in Ballarat, but the process has come at great emotional and financial cost for Mr Frost and his wife Jeanette, who have since moved back to Albanvale.

Estelle Fyffe, chief executive of disability services association annecto, said: “People

They just want to get on with it.”

Projections by annecto suggest that within the decade, Melbourne’s west will be home to more than 400,000 people living with a disability and more than 250,000 carers.

Mr Baillieu has committed $17 million over three years and a one-off payment of $25 million towards a National Disability Transition Agency.

moving ahead Message from the Mayor Cr Justin Mammarella, JP After months of preparation and careful consideration, Melton Shire Council has adopted its budget for the 2012/2013 financial year.

The 2012/2013 budget aims to deliver timely services and infrastructure for our fast growing Shire and an equitable distribution throughout the municipality. We aim to deliver the best possible outcome for the broader community.

We will continue our strong investment into key infrastructure and services, with over $46 million allocated for capital works across the Shire including over $15 million to complete Melton Library and Learning Hub, $3 million to deliver Botanica Springs Children’s and Community Centre, $2.8 million for Westwood Drive Bridge construction program and $2.3 million to complete the Gourlay Road duplication.

Other initiatives include Melton Waves refurbishment, pavilion extension at Brookside Recreation Reserve, drainage improvement on Minns Road, resurfacing of roads, traffic control works, playground upgrades and new public lighting.

The 2012/2013 budget includes a 4.5% increase in total Rates and Charges income, which is one of the lowest increases in the metropolitan region.

We believe we have delivered a strong, equitable and diverse budget that will enable us to deliver the quality services and infrastructure residents have come to expect from Melton Shire Council.

In other news, Morton Homestead in Taylors Hill has taken out the Cultural Heritage Award at this year’s Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Sustainable Cities Awards. The award acknowledges the importance and value of preserving our Shire’s unique heritage. We are extremely proud to have restored the homestead to its former glory while giving it a new lease of life as a vibrant community hub for residents to enjoy.

Coburn Ward with Cr Sophie Ramsey Those who know me know that I am passionate about the Melton Shire community, which is why I am pleased that the 2012/2013 budget, recently adopted by Council, sees a significant investment in the future of our community.

Over $15 million has been allocated to complete the state-of-the-art Melton Library and Learning Hub. Construction works are well underway and are on track for completion by mid next year.

Council will commit $3 million to deliver the Botanica Springs Children’s and Community Centre in Melton South that will provide an integrated approach to service delivery and maximise opportunities, inclusion and participation of children and families in the area.

We will also invest in one of the municipality’s major developments, Atherstone, in the Toolern growth area, which will receive almost $3 million to develop sporting reserves for our growing community. There is also a $5 increase in the Council rebate on rates for eligible pensioners.

Another matter close to my heart is support for people with a disability and their carers. I urge all levels of government to continue discussions in delivering the National Disability Insurance Scheme, which aims to provide people with significant and permanent disability with care and support over their lifetime. The needs of those with a disability should be at the forefront of any decision making.

Finally, I have been fortunate to attend many community celebrations over the past few weeks and I can honestly say it has been an honour and a privilege to help celebrate all the wonderful work that is done in our community by all our volunteers and community groups.

Please contact me with any ideas or issues for Coburn Ward on 0412 584 067 or sophie.ramsey@melton.vic.gov.au

Morton Homestead Wins Cultural Heritage Award Melton’s Shire Council’s historic Morton Homestead in Taylors Hill has taken out the Cultural Heritage Award at this year’s Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria Sustainable Cities Awards.

The historic Morton Homestead is a rare example of an early 20th century farmstead. Located at the heart of the emerging community of Taylors Hill, Council saw the opportunity to transform this historically significant farmstead into a community hub while preserving its historical features.

en Falcone-Mayo knows all too well the struggles faced by gay and lesbian youths, although he’s been told things have changed since he was young.

Ten years ago, he was going through accepting himself as a gay man, confused about what that meant for his future.

And it’s that experience which led him to work with Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, Bisexual, Intersex, Queer (GLTBIQ) young people in Hume, through the Banksia Garden Community Service in Broadmeadows.

The 26-year-old, born and raised in Craigieburn, says that while many things have changed, the main issues are still relevant. ‘‘Ten years ago I was going through pretty much the same thing. ‘‘I think that’s what drew me back into wanting to work with youth, that it hasn’t really changed in 10 years, from the struggles I was going through to what they’re going through, and it’s kind of sad in a way. ‘‘I found it very hard to find a place in the community and I was kind of like them and stayed home a lot. ‘‘If I went out it was never in the local area, it was always to the city, to feel that connection that they feel they can’t get in our own community.’’

Through his work, Falcone-Mayo would like to raise the profile of GLTBIQ youths

in Hume. He has already started a support group for them to run in Craigieburn, at the request of some local students.

Falcone-Mayo believes GLTBIQ youths who are on the verge of coming out need to be heard. ‘‘I know from my experience, and from the kids I’ve been talking to, that coming out is one of the most gruelling things you could do because you don’t know who’s going to support you and who’s not. ‘‘You can have someone who you’re extremely close to walk away and then you’ve lost huge support. ‘‘How do you deal with that? If you stay hidden then you’re not going to lose that person, but you’re losing part of yourself. I think we need to listen more.’’

Over in Melton, youth worker Tosh Yabio is doing his utmost to find 20-year-old Jason McGonagle a job.

Yabio is a youth worker with Djerriwarrh Employment and Education Services. ‘‘Basically I go out to existing services trying to connect with young people who are disengaged from education and to link them up to a support group to get them back to education and employment.’’

This is how Yabio met Jason and in November he invited Jason, who was unemployed, to take part in a Life Skills program. ‘‘I found out Jason wanted to get into youth work. He told me he’d been volunteering with a lot of youth programs and stuff.

It was through the Life Skills program that Yabio learned Jason had an interest in cooking. ‘‘He enjoys his hospitality so we’re trying

Youth workers in Melbourne’s north-west lift the lid on what young people face today, as Stephanie Zevenbergen reports.

to get him a job in that field. Clearly he’s got the skills and drive, but a job hasn’t happened yet.’’

Yabio says this is just one of the challenges he’s faced in his four years of youth work, trying to find organisations that will give unemployed youths a chance.

In his role he cares for 15 young people in the Life Skills program and says their drive and determination is the highlight. ‘‘I guess a challenge is people not seeing youth the same way as you do. ‘‘Sometimes the way they treat them is unfair and you’re just trying to make things better. If only they can see the client the way youth workers see them. ‘‘Someone has to give him them a chance.’’

Joe Grbac never really knows what he’ll be walking into on a day-to-day basis.

The youth resources officer at the Kyneton police station has been a police officer for 30-years and worked specifically with young people for the last 18.

In his role he acts as a mentor to youths and connects with other youth services in the Macedon Ranges.

Grbac says while his job is rewarding, there will always be more work to do. ‘‘It’s a never-ending story. As soon as you finish with one group of youth, once they’ve grown up and moved on you’ve got the next lot of kids.’’

Having spent a lot of time visiting the Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre, Grbac has become an avid believer in breaking down the ‘us versus them’ mentality that is shared by youths and adults alike. ‘‘There have been kids at the centre who just didn’t want to have any contact with me. When they heard that I was coming in

they didn’t want to be in the same room. ‘‘But they stayed on and we’ve had great discussions. ‘‘It’s not an us-and-them situation, bad guys against the guys in the white hats. It’s not true.’’

For Wyndham youth worker Nick Chudoschnik, working with youths who delve into a life of drugs and alcohol is his forte.

Chudoschnik works for Open Families and counsels those aged 12-25 who are dealing with addiction.

He says the biggest challenge in his job is gaining the trust of young people. ‘‘A massive part of the job is to build rapport. Once we do that they trust us enough to be guided and supported. ‘‘A lot of adult influences and contacts in their life have been quite negative. To build that trust is quite massive. ‘‘There’s been times when really private and sensitive information hasn’t been shared until a year or two down the track.’’

Chudoschnik, who has worked with youths for nine years, says his role doesn’t come without challenges.

One of the most vivid memories he has was when his life was in danger. ‘‘There were young people who have produced weapons and were in a state where they were affected by a mental health disorder and were violent. ‘‘Fortunately I knew them well enough to be able to rationalise and avoid a potentially dangerous situation. ‘‘You can never know everything when you work with people. You can never be totally comfortable. That in itself is the beauty of it, because you’re constantly developing new ideas.’’

In response to “Union angry at CFA ‘failure’ on bacteria’’ (Weekly, July 31), the CFA would like to address the serious allegations made by the United Firefighters Union and its delegates.

There is no evidence to support the claim that life-threatening bacteria was used to remove toxins from water at the Fiskville training college.

CFA has not introduced pseudomonas aeruginosa into any water source at Fiskville; this is naturally occurring and recent water testing results found all health indicators to be within acceptable limits. CFA has engaged independent hygienists and environmental consultants, as well as WorkSafe, who confirmed the Fiskville facility is safe to use.

Following the release of Professor Rob Joy’s report into past practices at Fiskville, environmental engineering firm Cardno Lane Piper has started work overseeing the implementation of the 10 recommendations, including improvements to CFA’s fire training water management system. CFA has wasted no time in acting on the 10 recommendations of the Joy report and has taken all measures to ensure the health and wellbeing of CFA members.

We remain committed to the Fiskville training centre as the state’s premier all-hazards, allagency training facility.

What’s old can be new again This 1978 AVJennings-built house can be made over into a modern winner, writes Carole Levy t won the house of the year in 1978, so this AVJennings-built house from The Domaine series can lay claim to a pedigree with punch.

Fast forward 34 years and the bones of the house are as strong as ever, even if a few wrinkles have now appeared, styling-wise.

The layout is good and works well for a family.

With a little creative magic, the home could be made over into a modern winner in no time.

And a lot of effort has gone into the more mundane aspects that count in the long haul, such as four Whirly Bird heat extractors on the doubly insulated roof, 3.6kW solar panels and gutters fitted with leaf guard mesh.

What’s more there’s a 25,000-litre water tank with pump to two toilets, an exterior ducted

vacuum point, new clothesline, a recently painted roof, and new back fence and front and back gates.

Beyond a deep front porch (great for energy efficiency), there’s a large foyer, to the left of which is an L-shaped lounge room that links with the kitchen.

A passage heading right from the foyer leads to four bedrooms, the main bathroom with spa and heat lamp, a separate toilet and a laundry with ultra-handy drying rack.

The main bedroom at the end of the hall has a walk-in wardrobe big enough for a dressing room, and an en suite that needs a makeoverfairy’s visit.

A lifetime’s learning aids out miners This science ‘geek’ has followed numerous career paths, writes Rebecca Miller s a child, Dennis Franklin dreamed of being a marine biologist or a lawyer. He says he’s always been a science geek with a heightened sense of justice.

Achieving big things was always on his professional agenda. ‘‘I’ve had a strange career pathway,’’ Mr Franklin, of Gisborne, says. ‘‘I started in the navy then after 10 years went back to university to study a doctorate in geology. After that I worked in oil and gas exploration and later in the information technology industry. ‘‘Now I’m a mining consultant.

I help mining companies — mostly overseas, South African gold miners and Canadian miners — adopt new technology that will make their operations more effect-

A

ive.’’ Mr Franklin says his career highlights, although not linked to mining, have shaped the person he is today and expanded his knowledge. ‘‘I did scientific research in Antarctica. My seven-month stint at Davis Station working in the field was a life-changing experience. ‘‘It’s impossible not to be affected by Antarctica with its thousand shades of blue, its silence and, in those days, lack of digital distractions. It was easy to live in the moment and appreciate the sublime. ‘‘Mostly, my work involves finding and chasing leads for new customers and jobs, but when I’m on an assignment it’s pretty full-on.

I run workshops, write reports and

read a lot about new developments in the mining sector.’’ He says there are many ‘good bits’ to his career. ‘‘It’s a great feeling to be able to tell a customer how much money they can save by doing things differently.’’

His skills also stretch to musical talents, something he enjoys in his spare time. ‘‘I’m teaching myself to play the ukulele; it’s great fun to have some music in your life. I also enjoy pottering in my vegetable garden, and I keep some chickens.’’

The next step in his career involves another new challenge unrelated to geology or mining. ‘‘I’m hoping to get elected to the Macedon Ranges Shire Council in October so I can give more back to the community.’’

Malibu lands in Australia

Ewan Kennedy previews Holden’s new mid-sized sedan olden has revealed that the first of its new Malibu mid-sized sedans has arrived Down Under. But it’s not for sale – a number of engineering vehicles are in Australia for several months of rigorous local development work ahead of the vehicle’s 2013 launch.

In the days of the original Holden there was a need to “build tough for Australia” and though our roads are far better today than in the late 1940s, it’s still necessary to make sure cars are suited to our unique conditions.

Holden engineers are developing a dynamics package including suspension tuning for Australia. Transmission calibrations are also part of this sensitive engineering process.

Such is the reputation of Australian engineers that it’s likely that many changes made for us will also finish up on Malibu models sold on the global market.

Holden Malibu development and testing is being carried out not only at Holden’s proving ground in Lang Lang but also on

H

Works well: Tall front grille is a signature of the latest Holden range.

Victorian public roads. Holden’s director of integration and safety Ian Butler said it was great for Holden engineers to get their hands on these vehicles.

We love the styling of the latest range of GM and Holden products. We have already seen the tall-front, big-grille look in the Barina and Cruze, but it works particularly well in the Malibu.

Holden Malibu will sit above the Cruze and underneath the Commodore range when it arrives here in 2013.

Shots sprayed, but Sunbury too strong

BY ASH MADDER A SIX-goal final term and a 10-goal haul from star forward Mathew Sutton wasn’t enough for Melton South to cut down a wasteful Sunbury at Melton Recreation Reserve on Saturday.

A dominant first-half from the eastern Lions was the reason for their 17.23 (125) to 14.8 (92) victory. Although the final margin was reduced to 33 points, Sunbury dominated and, if not for inaccurate kicking, the margin would have better reflected the Lions’ superiority.

From the first bounce it was clear Sunbury had

the game on its terms, but there was one hitch preventing a complete whitewash: Sutton put on a contested marking clinic. While Sunbury fullback Allan O’Connor gave Sutton limited space, the Panther forward — Melton South’s lone winner up forward — was too strong.

While there was only a one-goal margin at the middle of the first term, Sunbury put the foot down with three unanswered goals in three minutes, a period in which Melton South did not have a possession.

The longer the first half went on, the more Sunbury ran, handpassed, used the corridor and

peppered the scoreboard. Ross Sleight was one of multiple targets up forward for the visitors, along with Simon Clarke.

Jay Cheep, meanwhile, did the damage in the middle.

Sunbury coach Rick Horwood was pleased with a win but said there were bigger fish to fry in coming weeks, beginning this week when the eastern Lions host undefeated Redan. Horwood said his team had still to work on a few things if it was to challenge the reigning premier.

“We went to sleep in the last quarter today. We took out all our experience from the midfield and

played 18 and 19-year-olds in there. We still won the contested ball and centre clearances, but we need to work on our efficiency. We turned it over a bit and didn’t kick well for goal.”

Sunbury might have to test itself against the league pace-setter without key pair Scott Lobb and Brett Chambers.

The two collided just on half-time, which led to Lobb being taken on a stretcher from the field with concussion.

Cobras falter in Devils’ playground

BY GAV McGRATH DARLEY stretched its unbeaten run towards the Ballarat Football League finals series to seven games in a row via its comfortable 43-point victory against Bacchus Marsh at Darley Park on Saturday.

The Devils piled on six goals to none in the second quarter, all but putting the contest beyond the Cobras, and then cruised to a 13.17 (95) to 8.4 (52) result over their crosstown rivals.

While it was not Darley’s most impressive win in the past two months, it was solid and important in the context of the season.

Significantly, it sees the Devils on 10

wins, equal with second-placed Sunbury. But Darley is fifth on the table due to its relatively modest percentage of 120.98.

It means the Devils will have to rely on wins, not percentage, in their bid to break into the top three.

Darley scored the first goal, a snap under pressure from Brendan Porter.

From then on, the Cobras doubleteamed Porter to try to limit his influence on the match. It stifled his output but Porter still managed to provide a focal point for the Devils.

The rest of the first quarter was relatively even, with Bacchus Marsh holding a one-point lead at the first change.

Darley took control in the second

term through Jake Edwards, who was clearly the home side’s best.

Jake Zeestraten snapped the first for the quarter from the boundary, followed by goals to Sam Hitchings, Porter and Zeestraten again, all in the first 10 minutes of the term.

Accurate kicking in the third quarter brought Bacchus Marsh back into the contest, the margin whittled to four goals.

But Darley finished with three goals to one in the final quarter from 11 scoring shots, compared with Bacchus Marsh’s one goal from just two opportunities — Ballarat Courier Go to meltonweekly.com.au for an action gallery from the match.

INBRIEF

BY TEO PELLIZERRI THE fairytale fell a win short of the premiership, but Melton netballer and VU Western Lightning captain Brooke Thompson didn’t leave court dejected after the Victorian Netball League grand final on Saturday.

The Lightning lost by five goals to City West Falcons at the State Netball and Hockey Centre in the championship decider, 42-37.

City West produced two scoring spurts to lead for much of the contest, the first in the opening term when the margin got as high as seven goals and the second in the final term when the game was broken open.

VU spent the second and third quarters reeling in the lead, drawing scores level at three-quartertime and seemingly taking all the momentum.

Having scraped into the top four and won two thrilling finals to make the decider, it looked as though VU might be able to repeat the trick one more time.

But City West goalers Kathleen Knott and Maggie Lind made a blazing start to the final quarter with a 5-1 run to open a match-winning lead.

Thompson, goal defence, and teammate Fiona Themann, goalkeeper, were under the pump in the back-court for much of the game. ‘‘It’s frustrating as a defender,’’ Thompson said. ‘‘The ball comes back down your end and you take responsibility, thinking you need to get the ball back to pump your team up, and you just can’t get it. It’s a downer, but you can’t help that. ‘‘I’ve played with or against Knott for about six or seven years now . . . her strength is her hold in that circle and we knew she would play that way. ‘‘We knew Maggie was going to try and take me out of the game by taking me wide and outside of the circle. We knew what they were going to do and they pulled it off, and clearly they deserve to win it. ‘‘I couldn’t be prouder to be part of VU and look into the future and where we’re going . . . this finals series is the first of many to come.’’

Wallan wallows as Cats take the cream

BY TEO PELLIZZERI MACEDON has separated itself from Melton Central in the win-for-win battle to make the RDFL top six after the Cats outlasted Rockbank by 22 points at the weekend.

Wallan is now the team in the top six hot seat after Macedon’s 14.15 (99) to 11.11 (77) win boosted the Cats to fifth.

Wallan’s 38-point loss to Diggers Rest leaves the Magpies (8-7) just half a game ahead of seventh-placed Melton Central (7-1-7).

Central stayed with Riddell to half-time but couldn’t stick with the Bombers in the third term when the visitors to MacPherson Park booted

seven goals to two in the 14.16 (100) to 12.8 (80) result.

At Rockbank, the Rams trailed by just two points at the final change, but Macedon, led by Shaun Neeson’s bag of eight goals, kicked the only three majors of the final term.

Neeson was the only multiple goal-kicker for the Cats, while Michael Lindsey booted four for Rockbank and stand-out Jamie Zerafa booted three.

No ladder positions changed in the battle for top spots as Diggers Rest, Romsey, Sunbury Kangaroos and Riddell all won at the weekend.

The Burras (14-1) maintained their game advantage on top of the table from Romsey

(13-2). A six-goal game from Brent Tuckey inspired Diggers Rest’s 15.13 (103) to 9.11 (65) win against Wallan.

MELTON Central may not have racked up the biggest score of the weekend, but it remains on the march in Riddell District Netball League after an 18-goal win against Riddell Bombers at the weekend. Romsey topped the ton and Macedon scored 72 goals at the weekend, but Melton Central posted the most important win in the minor premiership race, beating the Bombers 52-34. The Blues (12-1) lead A grade from Macedon (11-1), while Romsey (10-3) is two games back in third place. Romsey hammered Kilmore 106-2, while Macedon was also dominant in its 72-17 win against Rockbank. Elsewhere, Wallan 47 beat Diggers Rest 19 and Broadford 56 beat Woodend Hesket 20. The top six is as good as locked in with sixth-placed Wallan (8-6) three games and 69 percent clear of seventh-placed Diggers Rest (5-9).

The Cobras (7-1-5) maintained their six-point gap to seventh-placed Ballarat (6-7) with the victory. Darley (fifth, 8-1-5) missed the chance to leapfrog Melton (fourth, 8-2-4) who were thrashed 21-80 at the home of ladder leader Lake Wendouree. East Point hammered Sebastopol 93-28, while Melton South were stunned 31-41 by Sunbury Lions.

Boxer’s London campaign ends in a flurry of punches PLUMPTON resident Ibrahim Balla’s London Olympic campaign has ended.

Balla enjoyed victory in the round-of-32 in the men’s 56kg bantam division, bute bowed out in the next round to Bulgarian Detelin Dalakliev.

Meanwhile, former Romsey resident Daniel Repacholi came agonisingly close to making an Olympic shooting final on Sunday.

Repacholi, 30, finished 19th of 38 competitors in the men’s 50m pistol at the Royal Artillery Barracks.

But the finishing position failed to explain just how close Repacholi was to the final. He fell just three points short of seventh place.

The former Melton Pistol Club member, now based in NSW, was two points shy of a shoot-off to make the final after six other competitors tied for eighth place.

Repacholi shot 557 points with eight inner-10s in qualifying, while the six shooters in eighth were on 559.

Italian Giuseppe Giordano won his way through the shoot-off, while South Korea’s Young Rae Choi was the top scorer in qualifying with 569 points. Choi was then bumped to silver by countryman Jongoh Jin in the final, while China’s Zhiwei Wang took bronze.

Swinging: Ibrahim Balla throws a right in his win against Morocco’s Aboubkar Seddik.

Earlier in the week, Repacholi finished 28th in the men’s 10m air pistol.

Repacholi’s qualifying score of 575 with 12

Defeat means double trouble

BY TEO PELLIZZERI MELTON will have to win twice on Craigieburn’s home court to advance to the Big V men’s division 2 grand final after a seven-point defeat on Saturday night.

The Thoroughbreds went one-nil down in the best-of-three semi-final series with a 61-68 loss to the Eagles at Melton Indoor Recreation Centre on Saturday night.

Scores were level with 2 1⁄ 2 minutes remaining but Craigieburn held its nerve to hit the big shots late while Melton couldn’t match it at the other end of the court.

The Eagles got away in the dying stages by converting free-throws as Melton fouled to stop the clock.

The ebb-and-flow was largely Craigieburn getting away and Melton reeling the Eagles in.

The game started with Craigieburn getting the jump, only for the Thoroughbreds to peg the difference back to two points at quarter-time.

Craigieburn broke six clear by halftime and kept the lead at threequarter-time but Marty Pietrykowski

led the Melton comeback in the final term.

Shane Moroney (15 points) and Pietrykowski (11 points, nine rebounds) led the scoring for Melton, while key Craigieburn man Rob Toller-Bond scored 16 points to go with 11 boards.

Tip-off at Craigieburn Leisure Centre is 8.15pm on Saturday, while game three if required will be at 1pm on Sunday at the same venue.

inner-10s was eight points off the qualifying score for the final, 583 from Portugal’s Joao Costa. Jongoh Jin won gold from Italian Luca

Tesconi and Serbia’s Andrija Zlatic.

INBRIEF Soccer Melton Phoenix continued its march up the FFV provisional league 3 north-west table by beating Melbourne City 3-0 at the weekend. The Phoenix jumped into fourth on the table, overtaking Flemington-based Melbourne Tornado.

Melton (27 points) trails third-placed Bundoora United (32), Heidelberg Stars (33) in second and ladder leader Darebin United (36). Melton’s women lost 2-1 to Whittlesea Rangers in women’s state league 3 north-wes at the weekend and sit sixth on the table.

TAC Cup Western Jets will need results up the table to go their way, but finals can still be reached after a 33-point win against Sandringham Dragons at the weekend.

The Jets are still six premiership points out of the top eight with two rounds to go following the 14.11 (95) to 8.14 (62) win. Geelong Falcons (7-1-7) hold eighth place while the Jets (6-9) are ninth by three games from 10th-placed Northern Knights (3-12). The Jets kicked five unanswered goals in the third quarter to control the game after leading by four at half-time. Spencer White booted five goals for the victors and Ashlin Brown four, while other better players were Daniel Burton, Joshua Bench, Billy Iles and Charlie Nastasi.
