An SOS for station guards

BY TARA McGRATH

HAVE YOUR SAY

ANTISOCIAL behaviour at stations along the Belgrave and Lilydale railway lines has renewed eastern suburbs residents’ calls for protective service officers to be deployed as soon as possible.

A 27-year-old Tecoma woman contacted the Weekly about her harrowing experience on a Belgrave-bound train last Friday week.

Jess (not her real name) was heading home in the evening from the city when a girl in her late teens got on at Bayswater.

The teen was verbally and physically fighting with a group of about five men and women.

Jess said the girl held up the train at Bayswater station for about eight minutes before it was waved on by a Metro attendant. The group continued to fight on the train and terrify the passengers, forcing some to move onto other carriages. ‘‘A few got off at stations clearly not their own and two women and I got off in tears,’’

How safe do you feel travelling on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines? Let us know via Twitter @MaroondahWeekly, facebook.com/maroondahweekly or leave a comment at maroondahweekly.com.au.

she said. Jess said the group was clearly affected by drugs and alcohol and several men were sworn at when they tried to intervene. ‘‘They repeatedly spat at passengers and stood in front of the safety button so no one could push it.’’ The girl in her teens then assaulted a passenger.

Jess said the girl had a knife in her backpack.

When Jess got off the train at Upwey, she rang the Belgrave police and was told they had already got nine calls about the incident and the teen had been caught.

Jess told the Weekly such incidents happened often and called for PSOs to be deployed

along the line. She said her community was excited when they heard about the introduction of PSOs because it would mean more help for Ringwood, Bayswater, Upwey, Boronia and Belgrave stations. ‘‘So far, all we’ve seen is large groups of PSOs patrolling the already well-lit and wellcared-for city stations.’’ Sergeant Craig Macgregor of the Ringwood police said they had got word that PSOs would be coming to patrol the Ringwood and Boronia railway stations. ‘‘But we don’t know when we are getting them,’’ he said. ‘‘Certainly there’s a need for them.’’ A Victoria Police spokeswoman was unable to provide a date for PSOs deployment along the line.

She said a decision on where they would be based depended on factors such as how busy the station was and the amount of reported crime and antisocial behaviour.

Officers will deployed to Frankston next, the spokeswoman confirmed.

OPINION The Weekly asked commuters at Ringwood station whether they felt safe on the Belgrave/Lilydale lines, and where PSOs should be based in future.

Rose Alateras, Belgrave: ‘‘I feel safe on the trains. I travel at night and haven’t had any bad incidents. I’d like to see more PSOs out towards the city, but locally I think Boronia needs them.’’

Ken Allan, Boronia:‘‘I think people would feel safer with PSOs around. Just their presence would make people feel more at ease. I think Bayswater and Boronia should be first to get them.’’

Jillian Allan, Boronia:‘‘It would certainly make it a happier world if they (PSOs) were around. They would provide a relief. Ideally they would be positioned at every station, but that won’t happen.

They’d also free up the police to do other jobs.’’

Great work Matthew and thanks again, I will be recommending you to all my personal and professional contacts.

I’m all for traffic lights at this intersection.

We live a few streets away from Bedford Road on Great Ryrie Street and never go up there to turn right because it’s too dangerous.

We go around the back streets, which takes longer but is much safer.

It really is quite dangerous and awkward to get out of that intersection.

Thanks for your help On Friday August 10, I had the pleasure of drawing the mayoral charity raffle and was proud to hand the keys to a new Honda Jazz to Judy Monro from Croydon.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those businesses and residents who bought a ticket.

I was able to present a cheque for more than $36,000 to Monkami as a result of the proceeds from the raffle and it was my proudest moment in the 31⁄2 years I have been on Maroondah Council.

FOOD FIGHT! THE great debate continues at the Weekly offices over which side of town has the best food and drink — and it’s time for the east to step up.

While we took out the crown for best hot chocolate, the Westies have won best doughnuts and best kebabs. So, with the score at 2-1, let’s get back in the game and claim what’s rightfully ours.

This week we’re searching for the best Vietnamese cuisine. Jump online and tell us where in the east and south east corners of Melbourne are the tastiest places to get your fix of pho, spring rolls and dumplings. There’s also prizes for best comment, so show your eastern suburbs pride. Cast your vote or suggestion at facebook.com/EastVWest, or on Twitter, @MaroondahWeekly.

Hot wheels Raffle winners Judy and Bruce Munro of Croydon show off their new wheels with John Tofari (Ringwood Honda General Manager), Brendan (Monkami client) and Wilma (Monkami client), Rob Steane (mayor), Katham (Monkami client) and Jillian Christie (Monkami CEO). The Honda Jazz Vibe was the first prize in the 2012 Maroondah Mayoral Charity Raffle. The raffle raised $36,500 for Monkami, an organisation that works with people with intellectual disabilities. Ms Christie said the funds raised would make a huge difference. Another 10 lucky winners have all been notified of their winnings.

Flak over falling branches

BY CLAIRE THWAITES A RINGWOOD resident has accused Maroondah Council of jeopardising the safety of residents by refusing to remove trees in Mundara Drive Reserve.

Ryan Sharpley, who has lived in Mundara Drive for five years, has been in contact with the council about his concerns since 2009. He believes a number of the trees are affected by termite damage and that it is only a matter of time before someone is hurt by the falling branches.

The council says there is no such damage and the trees do not need to be removed.

The ‘‘last straw’’ for Mr Sharpley came last Tuesday night, when another large branch fell close to his house, where he lives with his wife and three young children. ‘‘There is no doubt in my mind that if that branch had hit someone they would have been killed. It was huge.

How many more warnings do the council need to get before

HAVE YOUR SAY Are you concerned about the danger of dropping branches in Maroondah? Post a comment at maroondahweekly.com.au, on Facebook at facebook.com/ MaroondahWeekly, or on Twitter @MaroondahWeekly.

someone is injured?’’ he said.

He is calling for three trees at the reserve’s entrance to be removed by the end of next month. ‘‘These trees are magnificent and do have a place, though not next to my property, where they can do so much potential damage to my family and property.’’

The Weekly has seen emails from Mr Sharpley to his Mullum Ward councillors dating back to 2009.

That year, councillors Ann Fraser and Nora Lamont came to inspect his property and he was told they did not support removing the trees, but that regular pruning would continue.

Further emails in April 2011 detail

Mr Sharpley’s ongoing fears, after more branches from the same trees fell in his yard.

Last week, council director of operations and infrastructure Trevor Welsh said arborists had inspected the reserve again and did not find any reasons or faults to warrant further tree removal within the reserve.

Mr Welsh said 20 trees had been removed from the reserve in the past five years and arborists undertook inspections of all trees in Mundara Reserve every 12 months.

Mr Welsh said even healthy viable trees may drop branches and shed bark occasionally. ‘‘The majority of these cases can be attributed to high winds, drought stress, heavy rainfall, seasonal characteristics and attacks from pests and animals.’’

Council arborists inspected the reserve in March this year and again last week following Mr Sharpley’s latest correspondence.

Mr Welsh said there was no visible termite damage but more testing would be carried out to confirm this.

Tiiiimber: Mr Sharpley’s children Ellie and James take a closer look at the large branch that came down behind their Ringwood home last week.

Close up: Mr Sharpley believes the branches are coming down due to termite damage but Maroondah Council denies this is the case.

SWINBURNE University has denied reports that it will not be accepting new students at its Croydon TAFE next year.

In a statement to the Weekly, Swinburne’s vicechancellor Linda Kristjanson said media reports last week that Croydon would not be enrolling any more students were incorrect.

Professor Kristjanson said new students were being accepted in a range of courses including carpentry, bricklaying, building and construction and general education for adults. ‘‘All students who are currently enrolled at Croydon will be able to complete their current course,’’ she said.

However, courses to be cut at Croydon next year include cookery, hospitality, tourism, massage, floristry, government and automotive.

Swinburne is facing a $35 million shortfall next year — the reason behind the course cuts and for the Lilydale campus closing at the end of the year.

Professor Kristjanson said there was no risk of

the Croydon campus closing. ‘‘Croydon is a key part of Swinburne’s TAFE delivery and will continue to be a strong campus into the future.’’

The campus houses Swinburne’s green trades centre, which consolidates teaching of building, plumbing, electrical and engineering trades.

The VET in Schools program is also set to continue to be taught at Croydon.

Community services programs previously offered at the campus will be moved to the Wantirna campus.

Professor Kristjanson said TAFE students at the Lilydale campus would be able to continue their studies at Croydon or Wantirna. ‘‘In exceptional circumstances where this is not possible, we will work with students to provide an alternative,’’ she said.

The future of the Lilydale campus remains uncertain with Professor Kristjanson maintaining that no decision had been made on plans for the site.

Yarra Ranges Council is approaching other universities to try to keep the site as a higher education facility.

DIY dangers: a warning about asbestos

BY DANIEL TRAN and CLAIRE THWAITES LIVES are being put in danger because homes are not being tested for asbestos before renovations begin, industry sources have warned.

The Asbestos Contractors Group says people face serious disease, and even death, because there are no laws making it mandatory for homeowners to conduct a hazardous materials audit before they start work.

The group says the absence of auditing heightens the risk of previously unknown quantities of asbestos being disturbed. ‘‘Unfortunately, tradespeople and, quite often, domestic homeowners are being exposed to asbestos when doing their own renovations, simply because they don’t know it’s there or what it looks like,’’ group spokesman Pat Preston said. ‘‘There’s no legislation like there is in the general workplaces for an asbestos audit to be carried out.’’

Ringwood asbestos removalist A Plus Building Solutions says residents are at risk of finding asbestos in their backyard.

A Plus director Kamil Zajac says the company’s 24-hour emergency line gets numerous calls. ‘‘A lot of them are initiated by tradies or homeowners who give us a call and say, ‘My

Present danger: Kamil Zajac from A Plus Building Solutions says asbestos in residential properties is going unnoticed by renovators and tradespeople.

Picture: Wayne Hawkins builder’s just stopped work because he thinks he’s found asbestos. What do I do?’’’

Before the 1980s, materials containing asbes-

R E V O C S I D YOUR CHILD'S

tos were common in the building industry.

The Weekly asked Eastern Health how many asbestos-related illnesses had been treated at

Maroondah Hospital in the past two years but was told no specific data regarding asbestos was available.

Eastern Health’s director of respiratory medicine Professor Francis Thien says asbestosrelated illness can range from benign pleural plaques to asbestosis (lung fibrosis) to mesothelioma (cancer).

A Safe Work Australia report found that 660 cases of mesothelioma were diagnosed in Australia in 2007.

In the same year, 551 people died of asbestosrelated diseases.

In 2010-11, WorkSafe was notified of 7275 jobs carried out by asbestos removalists across the state, including work done at domestic properties and workplaces.

A Yarra Ranges based asbestos removalist, who did not want to be named, said a lot of people know they should test their site — especially on properties older than 1982 — but the cost turns them off.

He said he was once called out to a school in Ringwood because someone had dumped asbestos next to the campus. ‘‘It was wrapped in plastic — so they knew it was something dangerous, but they didn’t seem to care.’’

An upfront message on breast cancer

BY CLAIRE THWAITES THESE sisters really are doing it for themselves.

Silvan resident Sue Calder and her sisters, Kim Pinker and Catherine Blackwell, are the creators of the Melbourne Breast Cancer Bra Walk fundraiser, now in its second year.

Last year, there were 300 participants and more than $18,000 raised at the inaugural 2.5 kilometre bra walk.

This year they are hoping it will be even bigger and better, with all proceeds raised from the event going to the Maroondah Breast Clinic and the Yarra Valley Ladies in Pink breast cancer support group.

The sisters came up with the fund-raising idea after Kim was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 31 years old, back in 2007. She attended the Maroondah clinic during her treatment.

Ms Calder, ‘‘the organised one of the bunch’’, took charge of planning the event from scratch. ‘‘It’s a lot of hard work but due to the success of the first year we decided to do it again,’’ she said. ‘‘This year we want to branch out and support not just women with breast cancer but men too.

We want to support the community groups that

Underwear/outerwear: Sue Calder and her sister Catherine Blackwell are encouraging people to get involved with the Melbourne Breast Cancer Bra Walk fund-raiser.

Picture: Lucy Di Paolo volunteer their time in helping others in need — groups that help women and men directly with dealing with cancer, groups that don’t have the

opportunity to receive support where needed compared with the larger organisations.’’

Participants are encouraged to wear pink or

blue and to wear their bras on the outside.

Christine Gray of the Maroondah Breast Clinic said the fund-raising money would go towards some items on their wish list, including an impedimed machine that can screen patients who have had breast cancer surgery for lymphoedema (a chronic swelling in part of the body that occurs because of a build-up of fluid in the body’s tissues). ‘‘To be the recipient of funds means an enormous amount to us,’’ Ms Gray said. ‘‘Just that people would take the time and effort to fund-raise on our behalf is extraordinary. This is just the most amazing relationship to have from somebody like Kim who has a personal experience and understands how much it means to get the money.’’

Sponsorship from businesses for the walk are still being sought. The event is open to everyone and there will be live music on the day.

The event is on Sunday, October 21. Registration is from 10am and the walk starts at 11:30am, from Federation Square. Free buses will be transporting participants to and from Lilydale on the day. Registration is $20 per adult.

Further down the assembly line hen you’ve found a good spot, stay on it.

That’s what some manufacturers are thinking about as they set up base in the outer east and south-east.

With the region expanding at a rate of knots, innovative workplaces are creating jobs, cutting commutes and keeping our best and brightest closer to home.

One Bayswater company is putting the manufacturing industry on the cutting edge with its vital role in the Joint Strike Fighter project. Rosebank Engineering has facilities at Royal Australian Air Force bases in NSW and Queensland but chose Bayswater as an affordable place for its headquarters.

The company has been awarded the contract to manufacture and repair aircraft landing gear and components for actuator systems — which it designed, created, tested and assembled — for at least the next 15 years.

Rosebank has a unique collection of sophisticated equipment for precision machining — down to the width of a human hair — parts that can withstand the high speeds, temperature extremes and G forces of modern aeronautical performance. ‘‘There are lots of people who can do parts of what we can do, but no one can do everything we can under the one roof,’’ says head of business development and sales David Wallace.

Elsewhere in Bayswater, independent developer Wicked Witch Software has put its stamp on AFL Wii, the official video game version. The game was not created by a huge team at AFL headquarters in Docklands but by the Wicked Witch team.

Innovative manufacturers — and the jobs they create — have moved to the eastern and south-eastern suburbs. JAMES TAYLOR finds out why.

Chief executive Daniel Visser says IT businesses can thrive in the city’s outer limits. ‘‘With modern communication we are able to deal with companies all around the world in multiple time zones very easily from our desks, so there’s no real problem with being outside of Melbourne. Most of the the guys who work here live nearby too. ‘‘I do travel into the CBD once or twice a fortnight for meetings. However, outside of peakhour traffic, it only takes about half an hour and that’s all I really notice.’’

Born and raised in the outer east, Mr Visser moved to the city to work on video games. ‘‘It made sense to return to Bayswater when I wanted to establish my own studio with some friends who I’d gone to school with, as they also lived in the area. ‘‘When speaking to clients on the phone I still get asked where I am, as they’re surprised to hear birds in the background. I tell them I am in sunny Bayswater, of course. Where else?’’

Plans are on to bolster manufacturing further down in the south-east, with the state government encouraging companies to set up outside the CBD. Its south-east growth corridor plan, released in June, forecasts 2370 hectares of industrial land and 1290 hectares of business land in three new employment precincts.

The largest of these will be built south of the Pakenham Bypass and stretch from Soldiers

August 21, 2012

Road in Berwick to Koo Wee Rup Road in Pakenham. The Growth Areas Authority says the precinct has good freight and public transport connections, and will be an attractive location

‘When speaking to clients on the phone I still get asked where I am, as they’re surprised to hear birds in the background. I tell them I am in sunny Bayswater, of course.

Where else?’ — Daniel Visser for a wide range of advanced manufacturing and commercial enterprises.

Automotive manufacturer Injectronics, set up in Dandenong in the 1980s, tapped into a growing trade in selling to workshops in the USA and Europe.

The company developed a reputation as the go-to business for fuel injection problems and, 10 years ago, wanted to relocate.

Founder Rex Vandenberg consulted his staff, who thought that moving one suburb over to

Hallam would be good for them and the business. ‘‘We were planning on a move, and we said to the staff, ‘This is what we’re thinking of. What do you think?’. For them, Hallam was a whole lot nicer than being on the other side of Dandenong,’’ he says.

Figures released last week show Victoria will need 180,000 extra jobs in the next five years and the region will play a big role in achieving that target.

Manufacturing, Exports and Trade Minister Richard Dalla-Riva says the south-east corridor — covering Dandenong, the Casey-Cardinia employment area and the Port of Hastings — is one of Australia’s most economically significant regions. ‘‘This corridor has the greatest concentration of jobs outside Melbourne’s CBD and is a key area for the manufacturing industry. ‘‘Manufacturing hubs in suburban Melbourne and regional Victoria provide local jobs, and enable these businesses to collaborate, establish business-to-business networks, and pursue new business and market opportunities, such as export markets.’’

Mr Vandenberg initially considered moving closer to an airport but was happy with settling in the south-east. ‘‘Our staff live in places like Berwick and Cranbourne, so they’re able to get to work and get home more easily. If we were a little bit further out, then we might have trouble with couriers. ‘‘But with the freeways and highways here, we can basically get anything anywhere in Australia overnight. Yes, Hallam is in the outer eastern suburbs, but it’s still very connected.’’

A downpour of artistic ideas She has been painting for 10 years, four of which have been in a professional capacity.

Spinks said Melbourne Rain was her first major exhibition for 2012 and she was thrilled to share these works with the public. ‘‘I always get really nervous before a show but I know I have created a good body of work and I am excited to share it with people. ‘‘I think people will definitely be uplifted by this exhibition.’’

Megan Rowland, cultural development officer at Red Earth, encourages art lovers to take a look at the works. ‘‘The depth and detail of Annette’s work cannot be captured in photos — the paintings need to be seen to really appreciate their texture and use of colour.’’

BY CLAIRE THWAITES Melbourne winter can often get you down. But shivering through the cold nights and trudging through the puddles is exactly what has inspired artist Annette Spinks in her latest exhibition Melbourne Rain.

Spinks says the exhibition, which is coming to Red Earth Gallery in Mooroolbark this month, was inspired by ‘‘Victoria’s glorious wet weather and the movement and patterns that the rain creates’’.

She works with resin and acrylic to create multiple layers and textures on her pieces and says the resin has a watery appearance that was perfect for this exhibition. ‘‘The idea came about mainly because it has been so wet, but also because I could see a lot of beauty in the rain, like the light coming through,’’ she says. ‘‘I travel a lot and so took inspiration from all different areas. But I think these paintings will complement the Red Earth Gallery.’’

Spinks, a former Belgrave South resident, held two exhibitions last year at The SmartArtz Gallery in South Melbourne and The Blue Dog Gallery in Beaumaris.

A touch of class Views and style are hallmarks of this neo-Georgian brick beauty

STEPHEN TAYLOR PROPERTY EDITOR legant and imposing amid landscaped gardens, this impressive family home will set pulses racing.

The neo-Georgian brick veneer with portico entry has sensational views of the Yarra Ranges and suburbs beyond — especially from the main bedroom and spa en suite and elevated rear deck.

A sense of style and contemporary flair is apparent from the moment you step through the security entry into the hallway with study/home office and spacious formal lounge and rumpus.

Further along is the living and meals area where full height windows enjoy the views, and the open-plan kitchen with breakfast bench, walk-in pantry and stainless-steel appliances. It

E

overlooks the bright family room and meals area.

Tiled floors in walkways, kitchen and informal areas complement lush carpets in the living zone and bedrooms.

Up the elegant staircase are four bedrooms, family bathroom and a children’s retreat with balcony looking towards the lights of the Melbourne CBD in the distance.

The main bedroom has a luxurious en suite with spa bath, walk-in wardrobes and those mountain views. Features include ducted heating and evaporative cooling.

In the outdoor areas, sit back and relax while enjoying Yarra Ranges views. Park in the double garage with internal entry and drive-through access on the 1038-square-metre block.

Would you like to be another one of our SOLD stories?

Your team are simply the best and I will have no hesitation sending clients your way.

Thanks for a great result in what was a very difficult decision to put my home to market after living here since 1969. You treated me as part of the family and guided me through the process. Even after an issue with the building and pest you still saved the day. Thanks again…Bev.

The team at the Professionals lived up to their names during the time they had my house for sale. They were courteous and pleasant to work with and they found a lovely family to buy my home. I was kept informed of the progress at all times and they almost achieved the result I needed. They are a hard working bunch and have my thanks. Anni looked who after the sale for me did a great job. I am more than happy to recommend them to anyone that is considering selling. Great team and great value. Ann

Sell with Professionals. You’ll be glad you did!

We just wanted to say a massive and very sincere thank you for helping us buy 4 Carlyle Street. We absolutely love the house and are really happy in our ‘forever’ home. Thank you to Miles for everything you did for us – for all your time, effort, advice and patience with us. You made our experience with real estate really positive!!

Thanks again Scott and Carolyn

After having my property on the market with another agent and it not selling, I decided to call the Professionals. I had an instant rapport with Isjla and felt so comfortable with Isjla looking after my home. I was able to go to the UK and leave the sale in her capable hands. Whilst living in the UK my house sold and I am now finally able to move permanently. Thank you to Isjla and everyone at Methven Professionals who contributed to getting my home sold for a good price.

Cobras seize home advantage KILSYTH Cobras women will host the South East Australian Basketball League south conference grand final.

The Cobras beat arch-rivals Knox Raiders 66-60 at the State Basketball Centre on Saturday night, earning the right to host the conference decider at Kilsyth Sports Centre on September 1 or 2.

The Raiders will face Nunawading in the conference preliminary final at the State Basketball Centre this Saturday night.

The Cobras and Raiders exchanged leads throughout the first half before the Cobras snuck out to a 51-45 three-quarter-time lead.

The Cobras used a physical defensive effort along with some well-run offensive sets to extend their lead to 10 points in the final term behind a run of seven straight points from centre Kristen Barnes (18 points, nine rebounds).

But the Raiders fought back in the final minutes, getting within five points of the Cobras before the visitors held strong to come out with the win.

Cobras coach Peter Gay said his side had done well to wrestle back home court advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the girls. We set ourselves the goal of getting a conference home grand final and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It will be exciting for the girls and considering how hot it was in here tonight it will be good to be back on our home court in the final.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gay praised his players for getting hold of a decisive lead so late in the game and holding off the Raiders. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You have to respect them. They are a good side. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I think the key for us was to play positive right to the end of the game and not to play just to run time of the clock.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hayley Moffat had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Cobras and Gemma Kerr had 11 points and four assists.

Amy Denson led the Raiders with 15 points and Kelly Wilson had 14 points. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roy Ward

THIS is not 2010 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this is now.

That is the mindset Ringwood Hawks will take into game 2 of the Big V state championship menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand final.

The Hawks won game one of the series 70-61 against Eltham Wildcats at Eltham High School on Saturday night, so a win in the second meeting will give them their long sought-after title.

The Hawks and Wildcats will play the crucial encounter at Maroondah Indoor Centre this Saturday night.

Hawks veteran Willie Weimer said his side was ready to claim the title on their home court after several years of finals losses. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our goal at the start of the play-offs was to win four games. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won three and have one more to go,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are raring to go. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talked about the other years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that was 2010; this is now.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; On Saturday night the Hawks faced a jam-packed stadium.

The Hawks looked nervous and tentative early in the game.

Skyler Bowlin (18 points and six rebounds) settled the Hawks with three straight bombs from downtown and by the end of the opening quarter, it was the Hawks by three points.

The Wildcats hit back hard in the second quarter while the Hawks went ice cold with their perimeter shooting.

For a team on a 15-game winning streak, the Hawks suddenly looked like a team under extreme pressure. Matt Snowball (15 points and six assists) and Shaun Clarke (eight points and seven rebounds) both hit key baskets, but the Hawks had seen their lead disappear and at the half trailed 40-33.

By his own high standards, Hawks bigman Adrien Sturt had a quiet first half for the Hawks.

The first possession in the third quarter changed all that as Sturt nailed a three-pointer and pointed to the Wildcats fans who were giving the former Wildcat some choice words.

The next play had the Hawks get a steal that led to a fast break, allowing Sturt to throw down an enormous twohanded slam that well and truly changed the momentum of the game.

In a four-minute burst, Sturt individually put on 10 straight points and the Hawks hit the lead. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We were a bit flat early but we knew what we had to do,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Weimer said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In the third quarter we only needed a few minutes to put together a 16-0 run. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Once we get going we are hard to stop. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The big key for us is when we start playing good defence. When we do that we are hard to stop.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The physical game became a basketfor-basket affair until late in the third quarter, when veteran Luke Egan nailed a corner three-pointer sending the visitors to the final break with a six-point lead.

Sam Beltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usual offensive output was down but he did a great job defensively on Elthamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Fennell, who struggled for only five points. Clarke and Mark Whitehead also had kept dangerous NBL all-star Cameron Tragardh in check.

Roos clinch flag with late goals

BY ROY WARD EAST Ringwood capped off a long season with the best of rewards in the Eastern Football League under-17A grand final on Sunday.

The Roos travelled to Vermont Reserve to face Vermont yet still found a way to come out on top, winning by 19 points.

Roos coach Greg Chambers said he was proud of his players for fighting through fatigue in the final term to hold onto their lead and win the flag.

The Roos had topped the league during the season. ‘‘It was an awesome end to a long season,’’ Chambers said. ‘‘We started training in November, so it has been a long one. ‘‘We had a lead of about 40 points in the third term but started to run out of puff in the last quarter. ‘‘Vermont got within eight points but then the boys put on two late goals. ‘‘They had everyone jumping up and down and

shaking. It was an emotional ending.’’

The Roos’s best were Daniel Butera, Darcy Hubbard, Sam Lowson, Jarrod Lake, Jordan Williams and Daniel Pica.

Heathmont’s under-14B side completed an undefeated season with a 67-point win over Ferntree Gully Eagles.

After a nervy start the Jets took the lead and then held steady, eventually scoring a flurry of goals in the final 20 minutes to win the match.

Jets coach Chris Walters, who had coached some members of the team for five years, said the win was a fantastic effort by his players and their parents. ‘‘The game is a bit of a blur. I’m looking forward to seeing it on video,’’ he said. ‘‘The score didn’t reflect how close the game was. Credit to Ferntree Gully — they scrapped hard all day and we got on top only through persistence. ‘‘Once we got going, the game opened up and we showed why we had gone undefeated this season.’’

Walters said he had continued to coach the Jets

because of his connection to the club and the dedication of the players and parents. ‘‘You wouldn’t do it unless you had a good bunch of kids. I don’t have a child in the team, I have a newborn child but one of the reasons I coach is to work with these kids.’’

The Jets’s best were Daniel George, Jack McDonald, Josh Kral, James Chaston, Glen Vernal and Jasmine Grierson.

Jets president Frank Kielblock applauded the team and Walters, although the Jets also experienced the sadder side of grand final day with two other sides losing their grand finals. ‘‘They played super footy all year,’’ he said. ‘‘It was a little sad that we had three sides in grand finals and two went down but sometimes the kids also need to learn how to lose and do so gracefully, which they did.’’

Croydon Blue also won the under-13A grand final.

Saints battle to key victory TO those on the outside it was just another muddy football game.

But to North Ringwood coach Brett Moyle his side’s 15-point win over Wantirna South on Saturday was no regular game of football – it was a whole different sport.

The win handed the Saints the minor premiership in the Eastern Football League division 3 competition and a week off.

But according to Moyle, his players will need all the rest they can get following the exhausting conditions at the Saints’ home ground, Quambee Reserve.

Moyle said his side would not train on the ground tonight and may also stay off it on Thursday night, depending on if they can find a suitable alternative.

“If anyone has a ground to offer, that would be good,” Moyle said. “In our first final we will be playing on a fast deck at East Burwood so training on a heavy ground is not ideal.

“It [Saturday] was almost like a different sport compared to the type of game we will be playing in during the finals.”

While trying to not distract from his side’s fighting win over the Devils, who themselves were fighting for a place in the finals, Moyle said he was concerned about the state of Quambee Reserve compared to other grounds outside of the Maroondah Council area.

“Our ground is in horrible nick, it’s a pile of mud at the moment,” he said.

“It was certainly a scrappy affair. I guess ideally a week before finals we would not be there. It’s frustrating to see grounds at other councils in terrific nick, then see how our ground is.”

Moyle commended the tireless work of Heath

He also praised the leadership of Matt Castles, who played his 200th game for the club.

Moyle said he was happy his side had not played any dead rubbers heading into the finals with games against Mitcham and Wantirna South in the final two rounds.

“Wantirna South threw everything at us,” he said. “It was good to have some reasonably com-

petitive games heading into finals.

“I’ve got to say I was impressed with Mitcham last match. They are playing pretty well.”

Ringwood also pinched a spot in the division 3 elimination final with a win over rivals Heathmont on Saturday. The Redbacks didn’t give the Jets a clear run at the game, winning each quarter on the way to a 58-point win.

The Redbacks will face Mitcham at Vermont Reserve in the elimination final this Sunday.
