Permanent portables a blight

the end of the last financial year, but nothing has come of that.’’

Western Metropolitan MP Andrew Elsbury told the Weekly he wanted funding for new primary and secondary schools in Melbourne’s west. ‘‘As we know, people are continuing to move into the western suburbs so we need more school projects to be funded.’’

The government yesterday announced $51.5 million for school maintenance statewide, including $80,000 for Melton Specialist School. The budget will be handed down on May 7.

SCHOOLS in Melton and Moorabool are crying out for a funding boost in the lead-up to next month’s state budget.

Melton Labor MP Don Nardella is leading the charge for urgent funding for Melton Specialist School to replace 24 portable classrooms with a permanent school building.

He also hopes funding will be announced to design and build new primary schools in the growth areas of Arnolds Creek and Eynesbury, and to rebuild Bacchus Marsh Secondary School as per its master plan.

Melton Specialist School council president Elle Gillard said enrolment numbers continued to climb, but amenities had never been improved.

‘‘The school has about 180 students from Melton and Bacchus Marsh with disabilities, including autism and intellectual disabilities,’’ she said. ‘‘It doesn’t give the school that closeness as if it was a building. If we were to get a new school we would end up with portables, but not a whole school of portables. We always advocate to get more funding and more improvements, but whether anything gets done is another issue. We really need a new school.’’

Mr Nardella said there had been no funding to improve the electorate’s schools in the past 21⁄2 years. ‘‘We just had the 40-year celebration of sending a human to the moon, but yet we’re teaching our students in portables,’’ he said. ‘‘That should not be occurring; we’re not a poor country. ‘‘There’s a block of land at Arnolds Creek for a primary school which [the government] bought at

History repeated Ben (pictured) and his classmates will get a feel for the 1920s this week as part of Melton South Primary School’s 90th anniversary celebrations.

A 1920s-style classroom has been recreated to show pupils what school was like when Melton South opened its doors in 1923. The classroom contains wooden desks, artefacts, books and photos. Pupils have been enjoying copperplate handwriting, spelling bee competitions and 1920s games. Today, the pupils will bury a time capsule that contains school memorabilia to be opened for its 100th anniversary in 2023.

CLIVE Boyer Hopkins was born in Mordialloc on February 9, 1896 to Charles Hopkins and Julia Mahoney, daughter of Cornelius Mahoney, one of Bacchus Marsh’s earliest settlers.

He was destined to become a soldier, as was his great uncle Major General W. F. Hopkins. His maternal grandfather, Cornelius, was a member of the Prince of Wales lighthorse for 16 years and rose to the rank of captain.

Hopkins did well at school and entered Duntroon Military College as the youngest-ever student at the time.

He graduated in October 1914 before enlisting as a lieutenant on November 3.

Hopkins was present at the landing at Gallipoli on April 25, 1915 in command of No.16 Platoon of “D” Company and fought in a series of operations at the head of Monash Gully in April, May and June.

In July 1915, Hopkins was given the temporary rank of captain but was shot in the right arm less than a month later. In August he was admitted to hospital and caught a bug that became paratyphoid, an illness caused by salmonella, and contaminated water and food. After recovering, Hopkins was promoted to captain in February 1916. He was mentioned in dispatches for his “coolness and leadership, enabling him in one particular instance to avert what might have been a most serious reverse” during August operations at Gallipoli. Transferred to the 45th Battalion on its creation, Hopkins left for France in June 1916.

Back in Australia, his family was receiving scant information about their son. His father was a station master at Spencer Street and wrote many letters asking about his welfare. The family had received information about his

illness, but not of his recovery.

On September 4, a cable arrived stating that Hopkins was ‘‘quite fit and well’’. The next cable arrived on November 29, informing them he had been killed in action on July 20.

Major Marks, of the 13th Battalion, wrote of Hopkins: “Cool in action, brave to a fault, one cannot speak too highly of the work and soldierly qualities of Captain Hopkins. Popular alike with officers and men, he combined the gift of leadership with the cool, hard calculation of the trained mind.”

Hopkins was 19 years old. He is honoured by tree number 128 on Bacchus Marsh’s Avenue of Honour.

■ Bacchus Marsh’s Anzac Day dawn service is from 5.45am at the cenotaph, followed breakfast in the shire hall. In Ballan, a march will leave the RSL in Inglis Street at 1.30pm, continuing to the cenotaph then to Mechanics Hall.

And he was only 19: Digger ‘brave to a fault’

Salute to mateship and real heroes AIR force veteran Barry Clark will quietly reflect on his 32 years of military service this Thursday.

For Mr Clark, Anzac Day is a time to honour the sacrifice of those lost to war and celebrate the unique camaraderie he experienced during his career. ‘‘In the services, once you make a mate you have that mate for life,’’ he says. ‘‘Those friendships last to this day.

Some of my closest friends I have known for 55 years.’’

The retired Melton South resident, 67, joined the Royal Australian Air Force in Perth at the age of 17, wanting an adventure, ‘‘a way out of the suburban rut’’. ‘‘Some might say it was a misguided adventure, but it took me all around Australia and even abroad. Some of the best times of my life were spent working in logistics with my fellow airmen.’’

Mr Clark says the highlight of his career was a two-year posting in Malaysia from 1972. ‘‘I was positioned on an Australian base there . . . we were working alongside British, Singapore and Malaysian air forces in an operation, being used as security deterrent.’’

He says that while it brings up mixed emotions for many, Anzac Day unites lost friends from around Australia. ‘‘It’s a reflection of what you’ve done, where you have been and those who were lost. There are some air force friends I only see once a year and this is the day we come together.’’

BALLARAT line trains have failed to meet a single monthly performance standard for punctuality this year.

While the latest V/Line figures, for March, reveal an increase in total trains on time during January (81.4 per cent), February (82.7 per cent) and March (89 per cent), each result was below the 92 per cent benchmark.

Ballarat line trains achieved the benchmark only three times to March last year.

Melton commuter Sandra Belmar, who travels to the CBD each morning for work, said she was frustrated by regular delays and cancellations.

She said her son missed a university exam in Ballarat due to a last-minute cancellation of the 7.01am service last Monday. ‘‘We were told he could either accept being penalised for non-attendance or get a letter of confirmation from V/Line,’’ she said. ‘‘It really angers me. My train is either delayed or cancelled up to three times a month. V/Line never provides an explanation why. We just get an apology.’’

A V/Line spokesman said the 7.39am Melton to Melbourne service Ms Belmar usually took had not been cancelled during the first three months of the year. ‘‘This is not an unreliable service,’’ he said. ‘‘The introduction of a 7.42 service from Melton in the last timetable change has . . . helped to significantly reduce overcrowding that was occurring on trains around this time.’’

The spokesman said V/Line would give the family a letter of explanation.

A Bacchus Marsh man, 83, has died in hospital from injuries received when his car crashed on April 14. Police said the man was parking his car in a supermarket car park in McKenzie Street, Melton, just after 6pm. It is believed instead of braking, he accelerated and hit another car before crashing into a brick wall.

The man’s wife, who was also in the car, was not injured. The man was taken to the Western Hospital, where he died last Wednesday. The death takes the state’s road toll to 76.

Baton, spray used in struggle A police officer has been injured at a domestic dispute in Ballan. The officer, working on his own, went to the dispute just after midnight on April 14. Senior Sergeant Peter McCormick said a man at the address was unco-operative and became aggressive. After a struggle, the officer used his baton and capsicum spray to subdue the man. Senior Sergeant McCormick said police took instances of assaulting fellow officers seriously. The police officer received only minor injuries. The man was charged and will appear in court.

A new retirement village was opened in Bacchus Marsh last week. Melton MP Don Nardella said Bellbrook Community Centre would provide a great option for older residents.

Car park crash man dies

Response to alarms lopped to seconds TWO new full-time firefighters will ensure a 90-second response time — the time of leaving base — for all road accidents in Melton.

The appointments mean Melton CFA will have five career firefighters available to support volunteers responding to road accidents.

The additions mean the brigade’s road accident rescue vehicle will be staffed every day.

Senior station officer Jayson Hirt said the appointments would help save lives.

He said the vehicle had operated on a 24/7 basis since 2008, but response times varied because volunteer firefighters were not at the station at all times. ‘‘It’s gone from a volunteer response, which takes time to get from home to the station, to now where we have a 90-second response time so the vehicle will get out the door quicker to accidents. The career firefighters will be on-station and ready to attend road accidents at any time of the day or night. ‘‘The Melton community will have the best of both worlds . . . we have the full-time rescue operators as well as the ongoing service of our dedicated volunteer members.’’

Mr Hirt said Melton firefighters were called to a road accident every two or three days.

Council on hunt for hub tenants

BY BEN CAMERON MOORABOOL Council will investigate options for use of the ‘‘underutilised’’ Darley community hub.

The former high school buildings, owned by the council, were slated as a possible location for a youth space in a report revealed by the Weekly.

The report found many Moorabool youths were ‘‘falling through the cracks’’. Several youth services no longer operated in Bacchus Marsh due to a lack of appropriate facilities.

Cr Tonia Dudzik said the site was under-used and the council needed to seek potential tenants. ‘‘It should also consider whether it is possible to allow a limited amount of space to be used by the community at a reduced cost for programs and services that will improve the health and wellbeing of people of all ages,’’ she said. ‘‘Ratepayers paid for these buildings

and they should be able to reach their potential for the benefit of the community rather than continuing to fall into disrepair.’’

Bacchus Marsh Grammar principal Andrew Neale said calls for a designated youth space highlighted a larger problem. ‘‘These are extremely complex matters that are in large part driven by broad social issues and social stresses,’’ he said. ‘‘They will in part be solved by changes in parental and student attitudes and priorities and by the investment by government in appropriate real infrastructure in the outer suburbs, including transport, health and education facilities. ‘‘They will not be solved by the creation of a ‘teenage space’. It is, however, an indication of the real issue that those services that are provided are . . . not properly resourced.’’

YOUTH workers hope a new mentoring program will provide stronger guidance for Moorabool’s young people.

Mates Mentoring co-ordinator Gina Scuffins said Moorabool Council had already nominated five volunteers for the one-year program, which will help up to 12 Bacchus Marsh College students from the end of next month. ‘‘A huge number of young people in our society have few good adult role models in their lives and this program aims to fill that void for them,’’ she said. ‘‘Research tells us that students who have a good mentor feel more confident, know where to go for help, have a more positive view of their future, attend school more often and are much less likely to drink excessively or take drugs.’’

Prospective mentors are screened and trained before being matched with a young person identified by the school.

The ‘‘matches’’ initially meet at school for one hour a fortnight,

BY BEN CAMERON BACCHUS Marsh police have confirmed they’re investigating a recent ‘‘out-of-control’’ Moorabool Council meeting.

Central to the investigation will be a Maddingley couple’s claim that their neighbour breached an intervention order by addressing them at the public meeting.

Leading Senior Constable Paul Menz said police would interview councillors after the Weekly reported that Godwin Aquilina abused councillors and members of the public, including his neighbours Debra and Bruce Bullock, on April 3.

Mr Aquilina became irritated about the conditions of a permit allowing him to keep his pet ram Jackie Chan at his Love Close

property. Senior Constable Menz said the main area of concern was the potential breach of the intervention order against Mr Aquilina, which prevents him and the Bullocks from talking to each other. ‘‘We’re also looking into other behavioural offences stemming from the night, and other incidents at their respective properties. ‘‘It’s clear there was a lot of fear and distress at this meeting. ‘‘We will be talking to all councillors about what transpired on the night.’’

As part of the investigation, police have asked the Weekly to make a witness statement and provide its tape recording of the meeting.

The council has said it will not review its security practices.

Family ties Wendy Barrie’s family history in Melton stretches as far back as 1860, and now it’s on display for all to see. With help from Woodgrove shopping centre, Ms Barrie (pictured) has created a ‘walk through time’ that highlights Melton’s past. The 80-metre Edna Barrie archives display some of the key moments since her great-great-grandmother arrived in Melton. Ms Barrie inherited many family photos and archives from her mother, an avid photographer. ‘‘My whole historical family connection is in Melton and that means a lot to me and all my family. My grandfather attended Melton Primary School, as did my mother and I.’’

cket The clock’s ticking for four-time Olympian Kristi Harrower, Sarah Harris reports, as the plucky point guard prepares to call time on her sporting career.

ad punters seen Kristi Harrower hobbling down the hallway of her Keilor home last month before the Women’s National Basketball League championship, the odds of the Bendigo Spirit winning the title would have blown out.

But on that crucial match morning Harrower woke crippled, just as she had for half the season.

“It got to the stage where I had to put my shoes on straight away in the morning because I couldn’t walk without my orthotics. My Achilles were that painful,’’ she reveals. ’’Even to walk down that little step in the hall hurt so much.”

For the latter part of the season, the veteran pocket-rocket could hardly train.

“They were just trying to save me for the games,” she says matter-of-factly.

Medical professionals might have questioned whether she should have been allowed on court at all, but when she sets her mind nothing stops Harrower – fierce determination being the hallmark of a stellar career that’s included four Olympic medals, junior and senior world championship gold, and now two WNBL titles.

“I can play through pain. Once I step over that line I will play with that pain. Yeah, you feel it, but it’s like, you know what, let’s just get on with the job and get it done.”

Harrower has always defied the odds and often the prevailing logic. After tearing her anterior cruciate ligament in 2001 her surgeon predicted she wouldn’t be able to play past the age of 29.

But last year she lined up for Australia for her fourth Olympics – ever the shortest and, then at 37, also the oldest member of the Opals, silencing any doubters with a 21-point contribution to the Opals’ 83-74 bronze medal win over Russia.

Harrower has never allowed her height – a mere 162cm or 5ft4in – to handicap her, walking tall even in America, a land of giants where 196cm (6ft5in) players are “bred everyday”. It was with her first WNBA team, the Phoenix Mercury, that she earned the nickname Shrimpy Shrimp.

But as she confides: “I never feel short when I am on

H

court – never. Of course when I see myself in a photo standing next to all the girls then I realise, hey I’m short. I think it’s just that I have so much determination when I step over that white line – it doesn’t matter.”

Harrower’s willingness to take it up to bigger players extends off court. It’s one of the reasons she refused to swap the No.10 jersey she wore for her whole Australian career when it was proposed the numbers should ascend in height order.

As a member of the players’ union she has not always endeared herself to Basketball Australia by pointing out, for example, the inequity of funding that forces the Opals to fly cattle class while the men’s team, the Boomers – who have never medalled – stretch out in business class.

It still rankles. “They rely on the fact the girls will represent the Opals no matter what because the Opals are successful. We go along with it because we want to represent our country, but things need to change in our league and things need to change for the Opals.”

Although the smaller guards have to fight twice as hard as their taller team-mates to draw attention when it comes to the big-money contracts, the professional game has been good to Harrower. “This house is because of Russia – that’s the truth of it,” she says candidly.

“I’ve been lucky enough that my dad has put me in the right direction with my money. I have always saved and never been someone who will go out and spend money on designer clothes and stuff.

“I’m sure if I played overseas for a bit longer, maybe another three or four years, I’d maybe not ever have to work.”

As it was there were many good reasons to come home – not the least being the minus 30-degree temperatures in Yekaterinburg, the fourth largest city in Russia and Harrower’s last overseas signing.

“When you look at it I was overseas for such a long time.

You learn so much and you grow up so much from playing overseas, but it is hard. When you leave it is summer here.

You miss Christmas, you miss family.”

Harrower and her then-boyfriend now-husband Aaron Willoughby – a primary school teacher and former VFL player with the Coburg Tigers – really worked to keep their long-distance relationship going. “We were together for eight years before we married. It hasn’t always been easy,

but we knew [living apart] was not forever and if I could stick it out it would set us up.”

In the end, coming back to Bendigo to help position the home team for its first premiership under the hawkeye of dad/coach Bernie seemed not just natural, but necessary.

“I felt I had achieved a lot for Australia, but I hadn’t achieved a lot in Australia. I had only one WNBL title and that was with Adelaide, because Bendigo weren’t even in the league back then.”

It was in Bendigo that it all started when – according to family legend – Harrower picked up a basketball at the age of three.

Back in those early junior years it was mum Janice who was her coach and sister Kylee who looked like she would star.

“When we were younger my sister was actually better than me,’’ Harrower says. “She was a great shooter, but didn’t have the drive I had.”

But as team manager Kylee was very much part of Bendigo Spirit’s victory over the Townsville Fire as was mum Janice, who is one of the club’s volunteer caterers.

Cut to match morning last month and Harrower, who turned 38 six days earlier, was feeling the pressure as never before.

“I was tired and stressed,” she admits. “This was bigger for me than the Olympics, because at the Olympics you are away from everyone and you just go out and play.

“Here, I am in my home town with people who have followed my whole career watching me and those stands were packed. To win this and to win it with dad was so incredibly special.”

All the more so as the game would likely be her last, though she can’t quite bring herself to say it, even now.

Harrower has made no secret of her wish to start a family, but admits “because basketball has been my life it is sort of hard to walk away.

“But if I did walk away this off season at least I am walking away with a great team that I played with and a great record.

“I want to be remembered off court as someone who was always easy to get along with, that I had the time to talk to anybody and was not big-headed or selfish.”

It’s a modest ambition for Australian basketball’s biggest little star who has always been the game’s perfect 10. I

moving ahead Message from the Mayor Cr Kathy Majdlik Every four years Council embarks on the journey of preparing a new Council Plan, which will outline the City’s vision, goals and direction for the Council term.

Careful planning for service delivery and infrastructure development is critical in ensuring that we get the best results for the community.

We have developed a draft 2013 – 2017 Council Plan which sets out our strategic and operational directions for the next four years.

The Council Plan 2013-17 will enable Council to develop a range of strategic objectives that capitalise on the many opportunities that present themselves in our fast growing and unique municipality.

There will be opportunities for you to have your say on the draft Council Plan throughout May. We have also prepared the draft 2013/2014 budget, which will be discussed at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Tuesday 30 April.

In preparation for budget discussions, Council held a budget engagement session in February and the community initiatives that came out of that day have been considered in the budget deliberations.

We value the opinions of our community and will be undertaking an extensive awareness campaign on the draft budget. You will have several opportunities to provide feedback throughout the process, including the Section 223 Committee Budget meeting which will be held on 11 June 2013 at 7pm in the Council Chambers at the Civic Centre in Melton. The final 2013/14 budget will be considered at the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 25 June.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who came along to our Meet the Mayor sessions over the past few months. It has proven a very valuable experience to meet with my constituents and hear firsthand about the issues affecting them and their ideas for our municipality.

Coburn Ward with Cr Broden Borg After more than 18 months of careful planning and construction, the grand opening of the new Melton Library and Learning Hub is just a few short weeks away. I’ve been a strong advocate for the development of the new library since the outset and it gives me great pleasure to see this exceptional community facility finally become a shining reality.

The Library will have extended operating hours, improved connectivity, increased services, more space and better resources; it really does have something for everyone. I encourage residents to pop in and enjoy everything this outstanding facility has to offer.

On a more solemn note, I was saddened recently to hear of the passing of Ryan Waldie, a young, local man who was killed as the result of a tragic road accident in Toolern Vale. I offer my condolences to Ryan’s family and friends and would like to remind everyone of the dangers we face each day on our roads. Council takes resident safety very seriously and offers a number of road safety forums and expos each year. Every resident’s life is precious, so please be safe on our roads.

In the lead up to National Volunteer Week, I’d like to thank all the volunteers and local groups that give so generously within our community. Without their dedication, many of the vital local programs offered within Melton wouldn’t exist, so be sure to get behind our local heroes and support our volunteers.

Finally, if you haven’t been before, why not check out the Melton Valley Golf Club, this is a wonderful community asset which not only offers excellent golf facilities but a social meeting place for residents.

Please feel free to contact me regarding any Council-related matter.

I can be contacted at broden.borg@melton.vic.gov.au or by calling 0412 095 351.

Migrants ‘too afraid to report accidents’

BY BEN CAMERON THERE were almost 200 worksite accidents in Melton and Moorabool in the past four years, new data reveals.

Latest WorkSafe statistics on injury claims show there were 118 construction site accidents in Melton and 72 in Moorabool from 2008-12.

WorkSafe senior construction advisor Tony Cockerill said it was difficult to gauge if the number was high compared to other areas. ‘‘It depends on the amount of building activity [in one area]. Any claim is too high,’’ he said.

‘Poor housekeeping’ on site was a major factor in 60 per cent of all injuries. ‘‘A lot are from trips and falls, poor lifting and poor supervision,’’ Mr Cockerill said.

With 10 tradies injured badly enough to make a compensation claim each day, Mr Cockerill believed

there had been a cultural shift away from worksite pranks on apprentices. ‘‘Society is changing [but] there are isolated situations with cases of bullying and initiation.’’

Western suburbs lawyer Kofi Osei, a senior solicitor with Shine Lawyers, said he had been flooded with WorkCover claims, many from migrants who were too afraid to report their injuries. ‘‘A lot of these people are working in industrial, construction and machinery industries where the risk of injury is far higher.’’

Mr Osei said one client had refused to lodge a compensation claim after having his fingers amputated following a workplace accident for fear of losing his job. ‘‘These injuries affect a person’s emotional well-being and put added financial stress on families trying to pay mortgages. ‘‘People can lose their homes and relationships can be under extreme stress.’’

Picture-perfect, inside and out This house on 1130 square metres employed passive solar principles ahead of its time, writes Carole Levy ts gardens do the cottage style proud, but there’s nothing ‘‘cottage’’ about the space and light found in this house, which is on about 1130 square metres in popular Brookfield.

Still in the hands of the original owners who had it custom-designed in the mid-90s, the house has clever zoning and window placement and employed passive solar principles ahead of its time. These ingredients add up to a very liveable home with an outdoor environment right on the money for today’s lifestyle demands.

An entry hall with terracotta-toned floor tiles

I

is flanked by an open, carpeted lounge-dining room with elegantly dressed bay window and the main bedroom with multiple wardrobes and en suite.

A sliding door at hall’s end opens to a well-lit family hub. The kitchen has a dual-tiered servery bench, corner pantry, microwave nook, wall oven, gas cooktop and clear views of the outdoor entertainment area.

Another sliding door opens to a hallway along which is ranged a big laundry with oodles of storage, a toilet preceded by a handbasin, and a

sparkling two-way bathroom. At the end is a large, carpeted living room and two bedrooms with loads of storage; one bedroom has bathroom access.

The family room accesses a huge, pitched-roof pergola above sandstone-hued tiles, attractively surrounded by a wooden fence with tulip cutouts. Everything’s here for relaxation, including a brick barbecue on mains gas, floodlights, roof heating and TV. Gardens and lawns each side are beautifully maintained, with roses and a rockedged pond adding a glam touch.

Economy diesel for Civic Derek Ogden reviews Honda’s new diesel hatch he modern automobile story of better fuel economy with sparkling performance just keeps being told. Now Honda adds a new chapter to the tale with the Civic Hatch DTi-S diesel.

Born of Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology philosophy ‘to balance environmental efficiency with the dynamic performance expected of a Honda’, the made-in-Britain, 1.6-litre engine produces 88kW of power and up to 300Nm of torque.

T

Powerhouse: The aero package is now complemented by an economical turbo-diesel engine.

Mated only with a six-speed manual transmission, Honda calculates the Civic diesel uses a miserly four litres of fuel per 100 kilometres on the combined urban/highway cycle.

On an introductory foray into the Blue Mountains the Civic diesel came up with a relaxed drive, eating up the steep ascents with ease.

Disc brakes all around, the front ventilated, hooked up to an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist, pulled up the Civic confidently on steep descents.

All this was accomplished with a minimum intrusion of engine and road noise into the comfortable cabin.

The Civic diesel hatch is not lacking in quality additions and adornments, taking on a majority of the features of the petrol model, plus technical innovations from its hybrid stablemates.

Like the standard Civic hatchback the DTi-S shape is predicated on optimal aerodynamics.

A spoiler is integrated into the tailgate, while daytime running lights increase visibility to oncoming traffic.

Optimum lines: Aerodynamic shape of the body is a feature of all Honda Civic models.

The underbody changes still leave room in the cabin for Honda’s clever Magic Seat system which allows for 18 different configurations to carry passengers and cargo.

Honda believes drivers operate best in quiet surroundings and engineers have come up with active noise cancellation which works on low frequency drive train and road noise entering the

Stubborn Jets hang on like grim death

BY LANCE JENKINSON IT’S been easy to forget during the past three rounds that the Western Jets are just a bunch of talented teenagers finding their feet in the TAC Cup. The Jets have shown the maturity of a team beyond their callow years to emerge victorious by single-figure margins in three consecutive matches.

A common theme in seven, two and one-point wins has been the Jets’ calmness under pressure late in the final quarters.

When the Jets took a one-point lead over the highly rated Oakleigh Chargers at the Box Hill City Oval on Saturday, they kept it, not just for seconds but for minutes.

They produced tempo football, played keepings-off and waited for the timekeeper to have his moment in the sun.

The assuredness in the dying minutes can be traced back to the

INBRIEF RDNL Melton Centrals continued its winning start in A grade with a comfortable 80-22 victory against Woodend Hesket on Saturday. Renee Hulls (50) and Bec Morabito (30) were accurate in goal, while Mel Laird also stood out for the Blues. Around the courts, Lancefield beat Rockbank 25-12, Macedon beat Rupertswood 40-23, Sunbury Kangaroos downed Diggers Rest 54-28 and Romsey beat Wallan 70-40.

Soccer Melton’s winning streak to start the FFV state league 5 west season may be over, but the team remains unbeaten after a 1-1 draw at Keilor Wolves on Saturday. Rob Bebenek scored for Melton as the teams exchanged second-half goals. Melton plays Balmoral at MacPherson Park in a 7pm kick-off this Saturday. Melton’s women drew 1-1 with Keilor Park in women’s state 3 west.

Hockey Melton’s women are one of four teams with a perfect two-from-two record in Vic League 2 after a 2-0 win away at Swinburne on Saturday. Rebecca Chisholm and Lucy Frederickson scored Melton’s goals. Melton’s men lost 3-2 to Old Melburnians in Vic League 3.

teachings of Jets coach Torin Baker and his assistants, who set aside time at Thursday night training to focus on game scenarios and what to do in certain situations.

The players were clearly listening and managed to replicate what was worked on during the week and use it in the hotbed of a game. ‘‘We do a fair bit of game education for the players,’’ Baker said.

‘‘We certainly focus on scenarios and what might happen at a certain stage. Once we got in front by a point, we had to defend for quite a few minutes, and we were able to do that really well, maintaining possession and playing the way they were instructed to in that circumstance.’’

With 30 minutes to go on Saturday, the signs pointed to a Chargers win.

The Jets were a goal down at threequarter-time and kicking into a strong wind in the last quarter. Baker’s team showed a steely resolve, a determination to succeed and experience the thrill of a close victory like they had in their previous two outings. ‘‘For the boys to fight back in that circumstance was just super,’’ Baker said. ‘‘They play with a hell of a lot of spirit; they’re just prepared to work hard.’’

Versatile forward James Sicily was enormous with three goals in a beston-ground display for the Jets.

Breds shrug off injury, illness setbacks

BY TEO PELLIZZERI MELTON produced with backs-tothe-wall against Western Port on Saturday night to create a first win of the Big V Basketball division 2 season.

After illness and injury swept through the team during the week, the Thoroughbreds didn’t train yet they had the legs in game time to run out a 75-60 winner at Somerville Rec Centre.

The Breds are now one-and-four and off the foot of the table heading into their clash against third-placed Keilor Thunder (3-2).

The Breds, led by Marty Pietrykowski’s 18 points and 17 rebounds, had four in double figures on Saturday night. Michael McCallum (13 and 15), Jordan Kirk (15 points) and Paul Ross (13) were other leading scorers.

A strong start had Melton up by double figures for much of the second and third quarters, albeit with only seven players to rotate on the court.

When Western Port closed to within 8 points in the last quarter, Pietrykowski went on a run of eight straight points to close the door on any come-

back. ‘‘We had some game-time decisions after a couple of injuries during the week playing stadium basketball, and with sickness going through the team we were at our limit,’’ coach Grant Spencer said. ‘‘We got off to a great start and we have been able to score quite easily, but it’s defending teams that has been our issue. At half-time I said we had to keep communicating with each other. ‘‘Western Port started getting on top because they had three six-foot-10 guys and we only had seven [in the squad].’’

Spencer praised ‘‘immense’’ efforts of McCallum and Pietrykowski to battle under the boards and drag down a combined 30 rebounds. ‘‘It was a fantastic result and if we can get everybody healthy it should be a good week on the practise court.’’

A match against a touring under-19 team from Liaoning, China, will be part of the midweek preparation.

Melton’s youth league 2 men improved to five wins and one loss with a 55-45 win against Craigieburn on Saturday. Jordan Rhodes (19 points) and James Mullins (16) led the scoring.

Leading leap: Diggers Rest’s Shaun Sims goes for a mark against Sunbury Kangaroos’ Dwayne Tate. For more shots by Darren Howe, go to sunburyweekly.com.au

Burras cling to margin

BY DANIEL PAPROTH A CLUTCH goal to Brandon Kilty was enough for Diggers Rest to get a two-point win against Sunbury Kangaroos in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday.

Diggers Rest went into the final quarter with a three-goal lead and just managed to hold on. Sunbury’s Jason King opened the scoring in the last term and, when Matt Welsh ran into an open goal 10 minutes later, the margin was back to three points.

Kilty’s mark, set shot and goal was the Burras’ only one for the quarter after three crucial misses early in the term. His major extended the lead back to nine points and despite a late goal to Sunbury’s Jake Powell from a 50-metre penalty, Diggers Rest did enough to hold on.

The Burras started the game in terrific style, simply outclassing the Kangaroos, who were lethargic.

Diggers had nine shots on goal to

two for the quarter and but for inaccurate kicking would have led by more than 22 points at the first break.

Despite missing five premiership players, the Kangaroos had cut the margin to just a point at half-time.

Sixteen of the game’s 20 goals were scored at the Houdini Drive end.

Diggers kicked the only three goals of the third quarter.

In the end it was the Burras’ pressure that got them over the line.

“We were three goals up at threequarter-time and we just had to keep the pressure up in the last,” Burras coach Jamie Elliott said.

“It was our pressure mainly. We had 16 tackles in the last quarter, put our head over the footy and worked pretty hard.’’

Sunbury plays Rockbank on Anzac Day and Diggers Rest travels to Broadford to take on the might of Barry Hall.

Darley’s miss gives Sunbury a reprieve

BY TEO PELLIZZERI SUNBURY survived a kick after the siren to continue its unbeaten start to the Ballarat Football League season at Darley’s expense on Saturday night.

Harley Inglis put his shot from about 45 metres wide to the left after the final siren to leave Sunbury standing, 11.4 (70) to 9.14 (68).

But it should not have come down to an all-ornothing kick by Inglis as three of his teammates missed gilt-edged chances in a gripping last eight minutes of action.

Sunbury showed its class in slippery conditions, getting out to a 12-point advantage at the 15-minute mark. The Lions enjoyed the advantage of scoreboard pressure for much of the night, with Darley’s spells in the lead brief enough to leave the Devils feeling as though they were always chasing the game.

Simon Clarke was Darley’s main headache and kicked five goals, the fifth a brilliant dribbling effort from close range 10 minutes into the last quarter after ducking and weaving away from his man Sam Hitchings. Jake Edwards (three goals)

SCOREBOARD Sunbury 11.4 (70) d Darley 9.14 (68) GOALS — Sunbury: S. Clarke 5, A. Duhau 2, C. McCabe, M. Baird, M. Coleman, M. Medcraft. Darley: J. Edwards 3, B. Inglis 2, T. Minns, M. Gillespie, S. McAllester, M. Hanson.

BEST — Sunbury: S. Lobb, S. Clarke, A. Short, A. Duhau, M. Baird, J. Baumgartner. Darley: B. Inglis, M. Clancy, D. Gallop, D. Edwards, H. Inglis, N. Jackel.

put Darley within a kick on 19 minutes when he converted a 30m set shot.

But a minute later when Edwards won a free kick 40m out in front for holding the ball, he missed to the right rather than level the scores.

Dane Grenfell missed from 30m on an angle at the 22-minute mark, then Brett O’Bree from 30m out after a 50m penalty that took him from the forward flank into shooting range.

On the last passage of play, Inglis marked a kick from the wing and was at the top of his runup when the siren went. Sunbury chaired Scott Lobb off the ground, a winner in his 200th game.

Devils rue missed chances

Goal splurge makes run home easy ONE high-scoring quarter was enough for Sunbury to see off Darley’s challenge and square its season at one win and one loss in Ballarat Netball League A grade.

The 46-29 result means both teams are oneand-one through the first two rounds.

Sunbury edged to a nine-goal lead at half-time before an 18-6 third quarter left it with a 21-goal safety net heading into the fourth.

Michelle Robertson (18) and Sophie Gunn (17) shared the scoring load, while midcourters Prue Stanley and Lauren Gilchrist were among the better players.

DARLEY coach Rod MacPherson couldn’t believe his team’s inaccuracy as the Devils blew a host of chances to beat Sunbury on Saturday night.

Four missed shots on goal at the end, dewy conditions or not, was unacceptable for the Darley coach. ‘‘That’s a fork in the road for the season,’’ MacPherson said. ‘‘If that doesn’t burn in their guts . . . it’s easy to be emotional after a game, but that’s as agonising a loss as I’ve been involved with in a long time. We burnt 15 forward entries in that last quarter. For large sections we controlled the game, but we didn’t have the polish, composure and calmness to get it done. ‘‘Some of our young players missed but also some of our experienced players and cooler heads, who should have been able to finish. ‘‘When we kicked downhill in the second quarter our direction and ball use were terrible. We spent a lot of time over on the scoreboard (outer) side and needed to learn from that. ‘‘In the last quarter we went around the higher side where you should be able to convert. ‘‘One of the issues that’s never in dispute with Darley is the club prides itself on being aggressive and strong at the footy. We’ve got to be more clinical when we get the ball in open space to transition; it’s something Sunbury does exceptionally well.’’

MacPherson said his own players needed to take some responsibility for their kicking for

goal. ‘‘Unfortunately, a lot of country players now see the only time for footy being when they come to training on Tuesday and Thursday nights. When you have to balance fitness, structure and other components, you can’t afford the luxury of letting forwards drop out to work on kicking goals. ‘‘They have to be professional enough to find the time themselves.’’

Sunbury coach Rick Horwood asked his players to come to training on Tuesday with a self-assessment of their performance from the match. At the three-quarter-time address, he told his players to go one-on-one and implored them to be accountable to their opponent. ‘‘It’s great to win for Scott Lobb in his 200th game,’’ Horwood said. ‘‘There was fatigue; we’ve been slowly building and we’re probably not as up-and-running as much as we were in previous seasons. That’s the risk you take, that you might drop an early game, but we’ll get a lot out of it and bank an early four points. Darley played a loose man and halfway through the third quarter we decided we weren’t going to allow that so we manned up.’’

Sunbury’s last-quarter goals came thanks to some moments of individual inspiration from Jay Cheep with a goal assist from midfield and Simon Clarke one-on-one in the forward line.

Rivalry round pits Sunbury against Redan in the grand final rematch at City Oval, while Darley hosts arch-rival Bacchus Marsh at Darley Park.

Lions crunch Panthers as clock runs down

Game changer: Melton South’s Marc Dransman challenges Redan’s Brett Dickinson in the ruck. Dransman booted three goals when thrown forward for the Panthers.

Picture: Adam Trafford, Ballarat Courier

BY MICHAEL HANKIN A MATCH-saving tackle from Redan’s Brenton Riordan has ensured the Lions have begun their season with a victory.

Redan downed a resurgent Melton South by just two points at City Oval on Saturday afternoon, having led by as much as 37 points.

Redan had six individual goalscorers at quarter-time, leaving the Panthers searching for answers.

It was a rejuvenated Melton South that took to the field in the second term.

Panthers coach Matthew Sutton decided to play skipper Mark Dransman deep forward and met with immediate results.

He kicked the first goal of the term and had a hand in the second, kicked

by Col Simpkin.

Redan answered with a steadying goal late in the first half to Tyler O’Sullivan-Kirchner, his second for the day, ensuring Redan took a handy 23-point lead into half-time.

The third term had a bit of every-

Blues lift tally to three

BY DANIEL PAPROTH

South scrambles to tie scores MELTON South has its first competition points of the Ballarat Netball League A grade season after pegging back Redan to earn a draw.

South trailed at every change after a slow start on Saturday but pegged back the deficit to draw 31-all.

Andrea Tai scored 20 goals as one of

●

South’s best, along with Jenna Nicolle and Jill Van Der Ross.

Bacchus Marsh is the only team in the division to have won two from two, with its 50-40 win against Sebastopol. Lake Wendouree beat Ballarat 57-24 and North Ballarat City beat East Point 42-36.

MELTON Centrals have continued their perfect start to the Riddell District Football League, winning their third consecutive game by 38 points against Woodend-Hesket on Saturday.

Although the win was not as comfortable as might appear, Centrals still sit atop the ladder on 12 points.

After wasting several opportunities in the first quarter — Melton had 10 scoring shots to two but led by only 18 points — Woodend hit back in the second term with three goals to trail by 10 going into half-time.

But the Blues largely controlled the match from there, restricting the Hawks to three goals in the second half as they booted seven of their own.

Adam Fenton had his quietest day of the season but still kicked four goals, taking his tally to 17 in three games.

Lancefield bounced back from its seven-goal loss to a Barry Hall-led Broadford in round one with a 10-point win over Rockbank.

The win was all the more impressive

considering the Tigers trailed by 21 points at three-quarter-time. It was a see-sawing contest for most of the afternoon, with Lancefield up by three goals at quarter-time only to fall behind in the second and third quarters.

But five goals to three behinds in the final term gave Lancefield the victory it needed.

Romsey led all day in a comfortable 72-win over Wallan.

The Redbacks led by 20 at the main break but broke the game open with seven goals in the third quarter before rubbing more salt in the wound with a strong final term.

Macedon inflicted Rupertswood’s second straight RDFL loss, the Cats winning by 13 points in a tight, lowscoring affair at Salesian College.

Alistair Meldrum was arguably the difference between the two sides with four goals for Macedon.

He won a free kick when the Panthers had players storming towards goal.

From there Redan was able to hold on for victory.

Melton South heads to MacPherson Park to play Melton Bloods under lights this Saturday.

Cobras’ strike a real stunner

BY TEO PELLIZZERI IF not for Melbourne’s even dozen in the AFL on Sunday, Bacchus Marsh could have claimed the most impressive final quarter of the weekend.

In a perilous position, down 14 at three-quarter-time against Sebastopol, the Cobras rallied with eight goals to one to win by 28 points.

The 17.9 (111) to 12.11 (83) win gets Bacchus Marsh off the mark and gives it momentum heading into this Saturday’s showdown with arch-rival Darley. Matt Denham booted four goals and best afield Daniel Velden three to lead the scoring.

Bacchus Marsh coach Doug Hawkins said there were a few nervous moments through the match, particularly when Sebastopol extended its lead late in the third quarter.

Sebastopol coach Shawne Dummett praised his young side, but conceded a lack of confidence in the final quarter was the eventual killer. “We panicked a bit too much.’’
