Rates cap heads ‘wanted’ list

OUR COVER: Mark O’Connor says acoustic pianos are still popular.

Story: 12-13 Picture: Scott McNaughton

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM and ANDRIA COZZA NEW Melton councillors have listed families, rates and infrastructure among their top priorities.

Cambridge ward’s Nola Dunn and Watts ward’s Lara Carli were elected, results late Sunday night confirmed.

Councillors Kathy Majdlik, Sophie Ramsey, Bob Turner and Broden Borg were re-elected.

Former councillor Garry Stock lost his bid for re-election in Cambridge ward.

In Watts ward, Renata Cugliari was reelected alongside Cr Carli, the sister of former mayor Justin Mammarella, who did not seek re-election.

Cr Carli, a former Whittlesea mayor, said she would advocate for families and ensure infrastructure growth in the city was ‘‘sensible and necessary’’.

She received 1645 primary votes, ahead of Cr Cugliari who received 1195.

Land tax campaigner Cr Dunn said she wanted to establish a transparent council.

Cr Dunn, who received 1884 votes, vowed to give her councillor’s annual allowance of $27,848 back to the community. ‘‘I want councillors to put politics aside and work together for the betterment of the city,’’ she said. ‘‘I want to set the precedent for other councillors and use my wage for grants for social clubs and kindergartens and community groups who may have been overlooked in the past.’’

Cr Borg said he was ‘‘humbled’’ to be reelected. He received more than 3200 primary votes, the most of any candidate. ‘‘It’s not a time for celebration, it’s time for us to get stuck back into hard work,’’ he said. ‘‘I think it’s great there’s good diversity between councillors and new blood coming into the council.’’

Cr Borg said he would continue to advocate to cap rates, improve sports clubs and reshape the direction of the council to deliver promises made by councillors.

Cr Turner said he would focus on building a sense of pride for Melton residents. ‘‘The township has taken a backwards step for the past 10 years and it’s time that projects such as the Palmerston Street upgrade and the removal of graffiti in Scott Street take place,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s important for residents to feel proud.’’

Cr Majdlik said she was happy to be re-

INSIDE

elected and looked forward to working to improve the township.

All candidates except Cr Cugliari received the most first-preference votes in their wards.

Cr Cugliari was elected after preferences were distributed.

Councillors will be sworn in this Thursday, with the first meeting of the new council to be held on November 15.

Cock fights costly as 21 fined

BY ANDRIA COZZA

desperately to rid themselves of bundles of the cash. The RSPCA will receive the cash seized.

One of the convicted men said the owner of each gamecock had paid a $5000 entry fee. The court heard many of those charged indicated they only came to ‘‘have a look’’ because friends said it would be fun. Each of the men convicted were also banned from owning roosters for 10 years.

The remaining 68 cases will be heard at Sunshine Magistrates Court on November 2, 9 and 16.

Seized: A rooster and cash found during the raid.

PICTURE: MARCO DE LUCA

MORE than 20 people were convicted and fined last week following the break-up of a cockfighting operation in Rockbank.

As reported by the Weekly, hundreds of birds and metal spurs were seized from a Rockbank property on September 9. Three-hundred roosters had to be destroyed.

Twenty-one men faced Sunshine Magistrates Court last week. All pleaded guilty to charges of

attending a cockfight and were ordered to pay between $1500 and $2500, to be forfeited to the RSPCA. Outside court, RSPCA inspector Shannon Walsh hoped the penalties would send a clear message. ‘‘Cockfighting is a barbaric sport where gamecocks fight, resulting in serious injury or death,’’ Mr Walsh said.

Magistrate Sharon Cure heard that police seized $100,000 in cash in the September raid.

When police arrived, many of the offenders tried

A Melton police officer is encouraging students to join him on his next journey along the Kokoda Track. Detective Senior Sergeant Barry Jenks (in white, centre) first visited Papua New Guinea in 2004 and has completed the gruelling hike 14 times. Senior Detective Jenks said that following in the footsteps of thousands of brave Australian soldiers was an enriching experience that “gives perspective to what’s really important”. Earlier this month, Senior Detective Jenks helped Papuan visitors Philip Aoda, Raymond Havo, Archie Nanaba, Jack Deia, Greg Mano and Tobias Beliki (pictured on Bacchus Marsh’s Avenue of Honour) raise money to train nurses in PNG’s rural communities. Senior Detective Jenks is seeking companions for a trip next year. More details: 9747 7999 – Matilda Marozzi

Try local hospitals, mums-to-be advised

BY MELISSA CUNNINGHAM and ANDRIA COZZA MIDWIVES are struggling to cope with an influx of pregnant women across the west wanting to give birth at Sunshine Hospital.

But while many north-west mothers are giving birth at Sunshine, Djerriwarrh Health says local hospitals like Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital could cope with more deliveries.

However, Caroline Springs Mothers’ Network president Deborah Watson said the pressures at Sunshine proved the need for a hospital in Melton. ‘‘Most pregnant women in Melton shire will go to the Sunshine Hospital because it’s the closest service,’’ she said.

Victorian Health Services commissioner Beth Wilson said resource constraints at Werribee Mercy and the Royal Women’s Hospital were forcing mothers to apply to give birth in Sunshine. ‘‘There are new suburbs springing up and there are young people buying houses and moving in,’’ she said, ‘‘but the health services are not keeping up with that growth spurt .’’

Many Melton residents, including John Southall, have been campaigning for a new public hospital due to the city’s population explosion. ‘‘The need hasn’t changed, we need a hospital for Melton. With the population increase, the pressure on hospitals is only going to worsen,’’ he said.

Djerriwarrh Health chief executive Bruce Marshall said Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital had the physical capacity to handle more births.

“We anticipate that we will have about 950 births this financial year, but the hospital has the physical capacity to manage over 1200 births per year,” he said.

Mr Marshall said Djerriwarrh was working with Western Health and Mercy Health to meet increasing demand for birthing services. Bacchus Marsh hospital caters for low-risk births and refers women in the high-risk category to Sunshine. ‘‘With the rapid population growth, we need to ensure that there is co-ordinated service delivery between tertiary hospitals and

hospitals such as ours,’’ Mr Marshall said.

Keilor Labor MP Natalie Hutchins said many anxious mothers had contacted her office, concerned they would not be admitted into a local hospital.

Australian Nursing Federation acting secretary Paul Gilbert said midwives were feeling the brunt of intense workloads.

But he said more birthing suites alone would not solve the issue. ‘‘We need to look at how well hospitals are utilising their existing capacity and whether the Baillieu government’s health budget cuts have reduced hospitals’ ability to roster enough staff for the current number of postnatal beds and birthing suites.’’

Family that deserves relief is getting some Family’s struggle: Residents are being urged to help Jack, Lucy and Priscilla Ivkovic.

Picture: Cathy Jackson

AFTER almost two years of chemotherapy, Jack Ivkovic, 7, told his mother “my body’s just had enough”.

The last three years have been a rough ride for the Ivkovic family. Lucy, 4, suffers from a condition which severely limits muscle control, while Jack has battled leukaemia since January last year. His cancer has been in remission since November and mum Priscilla says while there’s a long way to go, “he’s in a good place”.

“He had a rough start to school with chemo and being in a wheelchair. This year he’s doing better.”

With Jack scheduled to stop treatment in April 2014, a fund-raiser at Little Legs Play Centre on November 30 will mark the progress of his treatment.

Ms Ivkovic, who has been unable to work since Jack’s diagnosis, says the family is grateful for any support.

Gen McMillan, a friend of Ms Ivkovic since they were in a mother’s group, says organisers hope to run a silent auction and raffle. ‘‘I thought it would be a great way to help,’’ she said. ‘‘It’s enough to raise healthy children when you can work.’’ The fund-raiser is from 6-10pm at Little Legs Play Centre in High Street, Melton. Tickets available at the door; donations welcome.

railway station on October 20. They said the woman was being chased from the platform by two females about 10pm. Police want to speak to two young women aged 18-20. They were described as having a dark complexion.

An elderly man died after a crash at the intersection of Holden and Plumpton roads, Diggers Rest, last Tuesday. Police said the man’s car and a truck collided before the truck overturned and slid along Plumpton Road.

The driver of the car, 85, died in hospital almost seven hours after he was airlifted from the scene, while his 82-year-old passenger was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The truck driver escaped with minor injuries. Police are preparing a report for the coroner.

TAFE study out of reach for some Education experts fear massive fee increases for English as a second language (ESL) courses at Victoria University will be beyond reach for many migrant and refugee students.

TAFE fees for some of the west’s most vulnerable students will almost triple next year as the effects of the state government’s $300 million funding cuts are felt. The Weekly understands concession fees for ESL courses will increase from $50 to $144. Nonconcession-holders will fork out more than $1000, with the average yearly course costing $1842 (up from $700 in previous years). The ESL course will also be split into separate sixmonth blocks, meaning some students may have to pay twice. The west’s largest TAFE provider, Victoria University, has lost more than $32 million in funding, forcing it to cut 80 vocational courses and more than 100 teaching jobs. ESL teacher Anne Dowling said many migrant and refugee students would be cut off from the rest of society, with no other way to progress to higher education and training.

Thieves target tradies’ tools Police have warned residents and tradesmen to keep an eye on their belongings following another spate of thefts from vehicles. Tools valued at almost $8000 were stolen from a tradesman’s vehicle in Hillside last Tuesday.

Police said the locked car was parked in the backyard of a house in Golden Way. Items stolen included a Makita drill and grinder, three ladders and assorted hand tools. A timber door and window valued at $1800 were stolen from a Melton property in Stoneforth Crescent on October 19, while a trailer worth nearly $5000 was taken from a service station.

Support at hand as power bills hid hard

BY NICK TOSCANO and ANDRIA COZZA HOUSEHOLDS in the west are feeling the pinch of rising power costs more than anywhere else in Melbourne, new figures reveal.

But from this month, residents needing help can receive extra guidance, with Melton among 24 sites selected for a trial of more personalised Centrelink services.

Power costs climbed 12.7 per cent within the Powercor distribution area — stretching from Melbourne’s outer west to the South Australian border — with bills typically rising $158 in the six months to September, according to the Essential Services Commission.

Average bills in the region have reached $1406. There was a lower increase of 11 per cent within the Jemena distribution zone, covering Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Moonee Valley and the inner north, where prices rose $148, from $1242 to $1390.

had the smallest increase with bills up an average $130.

Essential Service Commission spokesman Gavin Clancy said network costs were higher for Melbourne’s outer west due to a larger distribution area and population growth in newer, greenfield areas.

Gorton Labor MP Brendan O’Connor said residents who had problems with bills, housing, employment or health would benefit from Centrelink’s new case co-ordination service. “This trial is about recognising that people have their own set of circumstances and need support tailored to them.’’

Specially trained Centrelink staff will take time to hear individual difficulties and refer them to local support services.

Melton Centrelink manager Anna Perri said the organisation worked closely with groups such as Combined Churches in Melton, which provides food vouchers, clothing and financial support. Case co-ordination is available at Centrelink Melton at Woodgrove shopping centre from 8.30am-4.30pm weekdays.

Busy bees to build a garden Green thumbs are being encouraged to dig in and help tidy up a fund-raising house and land project.

FOR Hillside mother Diane, nothing will take away the sorrow of having her firstborn daughter snatched away as she was taking her first breaths.

She says its was this stolen moment in 1960 that dictated the way the rest of her life unfolded.

Nurses placed a white sheet over the newborn moments after birth and whisked her out of the room. Diane, then aged 14, lay alone in the sterile hospital room. Only hours later, a nurse told her to pack her bags.

She didn’t know it then, but she wouldn’t see her daughter for more than 40 years.

Diane, who asked that we not print her surname, was one of the tens of thousands of Victorian women who last week welcomed the first official acknowledgment of suffering caused by the practice of forced adoptions.

As part of an apology in State Parliament last Thursday, the government acknowledged the Victorian babies taken from their mothers without informed consent. ‘‘We express our sincere sorrow and regret for the health and welfare policies that condoned the practice of forced separations,’’

the statement said. ‘‘These were misguided, unwarranted, and they caused immeasurable pain.’’

More than 400 people were in the gallery to witness the moment. The apology followed a Senate committee inquiry report tabled in February that revealed forced adoptions were widespread around Australia. An estimated 150,000 babies born from the 1950s to ’70s were taken from single mothers. The inquiry found the emotional damage caused by the practice, involving the state, religious organisations and hospitals, remained significant to this day.

Diane said while the apology didn’t ease the pain in her heart, it was recognition of what happened. ‘‘I was brought up by my grandmother in a good Catholic family,’’ she said. ‘‘It was never spoken about. Nobody in the family knew about it. I was dropped at a Catholic home in Carlton when I found out I was pregnant. I worked for the sisters, cleaning out the rooms and bathrooms. I never questioned what was happening to me . . . I couldn’t.’’

Years passed, but Diane’s shame never faded. ‘‘I still feel judged, I can’t bring myself to talk about it.’’

remove this pain

Emotional moment: Women applaud last week’s apology for forced adoption practices.

Now 67, Diane is a mother to six children, including the daughter she was forced to give up at birth. While she met her daughter five years ago, the pain of what happened was too much for the women to bear. They have since lost contact.

Jo Fraser, secretary of the support group, the Association of Relinquishing Mothers (ARMS) Victoria, said, unfortunately, Diane’s story was not unique. Ms Fraser said

Picture: Pat Scala

many mothers were told their babies had died at childbirth, only to find out 30 years later they were still alive.

Ms Fraser said ARMS was seeking support for affected mothers, including affordable counselling.

C Council il welcomes l ffunding di tto preventt violence i l against women Melton City Council has welcomed the announcement of $600,000 over three years to fund a collaborative project to help prevent violence against women and their children in the western region.

The United: Working Together to Prevent Violence Against Women in the West project, of which Melton City Council is a signatory, will use the funding to implement a unique, first of its kind prevention program.

The funding was announced by Minister for Crime Prevention Andrew McIntosh under the State Government’s Reducing Violence Against Women and their Children (RVAWC) grants.

In June 2012, Melton City Council became a signatory to Preventing Violence Together: Western Region Action Plan to Prevent Violence Against Women, a plan supported by a partnership of 14 agencies across the western metropolitan region led by Women’s Health West and including community health, women’s health and local councils in the western region.

The project will build on the strong foundation created by the Preventing Violence Together model, as a fully collaborative and integrated approach to preventing violence before it occurs.

INSIDESTORY

Piano forte Hold the requiem, the piano industry sounds like a carnival in Melbourne’s outer west. Sarah Harris strikes a chord. or Jim McCorry, a good piano movement is less about practicing scales than distributing weight – about 500kg in the case of a ninefoot concert grand.

McCorry is a piano man of the muscular kind, having been in the piano removals business since the early 80s.

“We move between 200 and 300 pianos a month,” the owner of Campbellfield-based JM Piano Moving says. “We used to also do furniture, but the last seven years all I’ve done is pianos.

“We’ve taken concert grands as far as Rockhampton. Most people are surprised to discover that we run a semi-trailer between Melbourne and Sydney. People don’t think of a truck that

F

size running round full of pianos.

“Some are new, some are collector pianos — you do get a lot of heirloom stuff.

“We’ve had to get them into some tricky spots over the years. We’ve been bogged on farm properties in our prime mover. There are a lot of beaut old pianos out there. We still move a lot of Wertheims.”

Wertheim pianos are the product of Hugo Wertheim – the great grandfather of former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett – who followed Octavious Beale into the local piano manufacturing business.

Between them — at their peak in the early 1920s — the Wertheim factory in Richmond and the Beale factory in Sydney produced upwards of

5000 pianos a year.

Today Beale and Wertheim pianos are made in China under licence – among more than 30 imported brands including Yamaha, Alex Steinbach, Kawai, Samick, Schumann, Petrof & Bechstein While Australia no longer mass-produces pianos, there are still two companies producing bespoke grand pianos, Overs and Stuart & Sons.

Stuart & Sons have recently begun producing a mega-piano with 102 keys — 14 more than the modern instrument and 32 more than Beethoven had at his disposal when he first began playing.

But even this distinctly Aussie innovation seems unlikely ever to supplant the maestro of piano production — Steinway.

The Essendon-based Exclusive Piano Group (EPG), Victoria’s only licensed Steinway dealership, in which trucking magnate Lindsay Fox is the major shareholder, reports there is still strong demand for acoustic pianos, in spite of the economic downturn.

“People are still very interested in pianos and learning music,” EPG managing director Mark O’Connor says.

“And honestly, if you have a child who comes home and says, ‘I want to learn the piano’, as a parent it’s really difficult to say no.

“We have parents who come in who maybe want to start them on an electronic piano in the low range of maybe $1500.

“Then we have people who come in who just decide they want a Steinway and spend over $250,000 on a concert grand.“The nine-foot Heavy lifters: John Wilson and Jim McCorry move a grand piano.

“He just loves music and his wife loves music,” O’Connor says of the buyer who asked to remain anonymous. “He wants to have concerts in his home and have musicians come around and play it for him. I gave him 10 lessons so he can at least start to play the thing.’’

concert grands we sell a lot to institutions. Last year the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and Adelaide Symphony Orchestra all bought them from us, as did the Arts Centre, Scots College and Monash University.

“But we also had a couple of people buy them privately and nine-foot concert grands you don’t sell every day to private individuals.”

One of the buyers, a Niddrie businessman approaching retirement, decided a Steinway model D worth $285,000 was a better invest-

EPG has been selling so well into the Point Cook-Tarneit area, they are now scouting for a location there to set up a music school.

“The Asian community is a big customer base for us,” O’Connor says. “The kids seem to be a little bit more focused. They have more of an understanding that you get out of things what you put into them.”

The interest of a new generation is music to the ears of Graeme McGowen. The Mt Macedon resident is the last blind piano tuner in Victoria.

Time was the blind and partially-sighted were actively encouraged to train as piano technicians and there’s still a School of Piano Technology Tuning for the Blind in the US.

McGowen, who went to the Royal Victorian Institute of the Blind School when he was three and later through its training centre, has enjoyed a 40-year career which has seen him tune pianos for the like of Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Liberace, Cat Stevens (before he became Yusef) and the band Chicago.

But like many tuners he is nearing retirement age and laments the lack of apprentices committing to learn the trade.

While there is a critical national shortage of piano tuners, McGowen is confident the acoustic piano will endure.

“I don’t think the piano will ever die – not as long as there are people who love music and children to find middle C.’’ Vanishing art: Graeme McGowen is the last blind piano tuner in Victoria.

Re: Coal mine: One scope, two views (Moorabool Weekly, October 23): It is hard to believe this report, as 20 million tonnes of ‘‘dry’’ coal per year is about 55,000 tonnes every day of the year, and about 2300 tonnes every hour.

Trains transporting coal with as many as six locomotives and 148 wagons amounting to a length of more than two kilometres can carry about 8500 tonnes of coal, which is less than three hours of production. All seems like another beat-up from the coal industry.

May I say thank you to all the people who helped me when I tripped and fell heavily on the footpath in Exford Road on Tuesday, October 16.

The gentleman who came to my aid, the lady who drove me home, the staff at the Station Medical Centre who gave me prompt and gentle treatment, Lake Imaging for whisking me in for an X-ray of my injured hand, and the courtesy and good wishes of the taxi drivers who took me from the clinic to Lake Imaging and from there home.

To the council staff who responded so rapidly and effectively that work to fix the footpath was begun on Friday. I feel privileged to have had the care and attention of so many people, thank you all.

More than meets the eye It may need some TLC, but the homely feel of this property will have instant appeal, writes Carole Levy nstead of water there’s bush, but otherwise visiting this western red cedar house is like a nostalgic return to a 1970s weekender near the beach.

Granted, it’s quite a bit bigger than a beachcomber’s digs and the bathrooms are way more glamorous, but it definitely has that holiday feel.

The house sits on about 0.4 hectares, most of which is densely planted with succulents and geraniums (forget the need for watering) beneath scattered gum trees.

Crazy-paved steps and walkways meander in different directions, leading to a paved barbecue

area, a fenced in-ground pool, a shade-house, a terraced side garden, a vegie patch and a former pond that’s crying out to become a fire-pit.

Inside, some elements encapsulate the ’70s, such as a copper-canopied fireplace in the large lounge-dining room, the shag-pile carpet with tinges of lime green and classic bottle glass in a pair of sliding doors.

Next to a carpeted family area with wood heater, the skylit kitchen wears the hand of time quite kindly in terms of its painted timber cupboards. These are in a good layout and invoke a country feel but appliances, including a

dishwasher, are in need of some updating.

The first bedroom, with a wardrobe, is near the front door and ideal as a study; the remaining three are down a hallway from the family room.

The bathroom is a startling step into today, updated and smart with mosaic feature tiles, timber blinds, heat lamp and neutral tiles.

The main bedroom has a soft-green feature wall, timber blinds, walk-through wardrobes and an en suite similar to the bathroom.

Midway between Melton and Bacchus Marsh, with a school bus stop at the end of the road, this is property will respond well to a bit of TLC.

Chasing the BReeZ The Subaru BRZ combines great looks and brilliant performance.

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY t’s not often that the entire Australian motoring media agrees on the merits of a particular vehicle, but such has been the case with the new Subaru BRZ. This exciting and affordable two-door coupe has gained rave reviews from just about everyone who’s driven it, although sadly very few members of the public, and so potential buyers, have had that opportunity and won’t have for some time.

High global demand meant that barely BRZ 200 models made it to Australia. Of these, about 50 were allocated to dealers as demonstrators meaning that demand was always going to heavily outweigh supply and all available cars were sold in just over three hours when they went on sale in July this year.

BRZ is built at Subaru’s Ota plant in Japan as a joint venture with the company’s part-owner, Toyota, and it competes directly against its identical twin, the Toyota 86.

The division of labour between the two companies makes a lot of sense with Toyota looking

after the product planning and styling while Subaru in charge of its engineering development and production.

The BRZ breaks new ground for Subaru in that it has rear-wheel drive — all its other Australian models have all-wheel-drive.

The Subaru coupe certainly looks the part with its low-slung styling and short overhangs. The front is dominated by a large, hexagonal grille with sweeping headlights and the rear is tall and square with an additional brake light positioned between twin large tail pipes.

Although there are four seats the rear pair are basically there for emergency use rather than for long-distance travel. The boot is quite small although the rear seatbacks do fold flat for extra storage space. Surprisingly for a car where space is at a premium, the BRZ comes with a full-size spare wheel.

Power comes from an all-new 2.0-litre turbocharged horizontally opposed petrol engine that generates 147 kW of power at 7000rpm and

205Nm of torque at 6600 revs. We’ve always loved the throaty sound of the Subaru ‘boxer’ engine. Both the six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions were specifically developed for the BRZ. Our test car had the manual, a delightful short-throw unit that is fast and smooth and just asks to be used frequently.

With so few cars available Subaru adopted the unusual strategy of selling the BRZ exclusively

We’ve left the bad news until last because, despite ongoing pleading with Subaru’s head office decision makers, the worldwide popularity of the BRZ means that there could be a wait for up to a year before the next shipload arrives in Australia.

Running of the Bulls the clincher

BY TEO PELLIZZERI BACCHUS Marsh pair Kieran Atkin and Tom Wardell saved the day with a seventh-wicket partnership that set up a Bulls victory against Wallan in McIntyre Cup on Saturday.

Struggling at 6-43, the duo combined for a 77-run stand that set up the Bulls’ 65-run win, its first of the Gisborne District Cricket Association season.

Bacchus Marsh climbed to sixth of eight on the table and is out of the top four only on percentage.

Atkin (69) and Wardell (60no) turned the innings around to help Bacchus Marsh post 184 all-out.

Wallan could manage only 119 in reply, with Peter Lalor taking 5-12 as best of the Bulls’ bowlers.

In other McIntyre Cup results, Sunbury United (7-158) defeated Riddell (9-122), Romsey (9-179) edged out Woodend (5-178) by one wicket and Sunbury (3-110) accounted for Rupertswood (106).

In B grade, St Anthony’s (9-204) put too many on the board for Riddell (8-120).

St Anthony’s remains second on the table after its third straight win to start the season. It’s behind Macedon on percentage only.

In C grade, Diggers Rest Bulla Village maintained its hold on second place with an eight-wicket win against Woodend.

The Burras bowled Woodend out for 88 before making 2-91 off 24 overs.

Diggers Rest Bulla Village has 15 points, three behind East Sunbury (18).

In F grade, Blackwood continued its winning streak with an 80-run win against Romsey.

Darren Woodward (63), Luke Whitehouse (75) and Andrew Thomas (56no) all raised half centuries as Blackwood posted 4-263 batting first.

Woodward was then best of the bowlers with 3-34 as Romsey batted out its 35 over allocation but could score only 9-183 in reply.

INBRIEF Greyhounds Rank outsider David Bale ($31.20) caused one of the biggest boilovers in Group 1 history, running down kennelmate Desalle Bale in the shadows of the post to win the Sky Racing TOPGUN at The Meadows on Saturday. Master trainer Graeme Bate and owner Paul Wheeler quinella-ed the Group 1 Sky Racing TOPGUN for the second year running.

Allen Harper and Radley Bale finished one-two last year. David Bale’s victory was the 22nd of his career from 74 starts, with the $150,000 winner’s cheque pushing his prizemoney to more than $310,000. Runner-up Desalle Bale has now finished second in two Group 1 events at The Meadows, running behind brother Barcia Bale in the Maturity in July.

RDFL Rupertswood’s transfer from VAFA to the Riddell District Football League has been rubber-stamped after the VAFA did not oppose the clearance application last week. ‘‘While disappointed at the departure we understand the circumstances behind the decision and wish Rupertswood all the best in the future,’’ VAFA CEO Michael Sholly said. The VAFA met at the weekend to discuss the restructure of Rupertswood’s former division, Premier C.

NCL Hot chance: St Anthony’s Ryan Robbie can’t hold a close-range catch from Riddell’s Daniel Nolan.

Smile maker: Bacchus Marsh bowlers Kieran Smith and Dylan Filuk enjoy a teammate’s bowl as Lancefield’s Bill West looks on.

Vic Spirit split its weekend double-header against Western Fury in Women’s National Cricket League after a three-wicket win on Sunday. The Fury won Saturday’s first match convincingly, 5-181 in reply to Vic Spirit’s 180. But Sunday’s Twenty20 was a closer affair with the Spirit squeaking home 7-86 in reply to the Fury’s 8-82. Briana Binch was best of the Victorian bowlers with 3-8 in the Twenty20, while Ellyse Villani topscored with 48 runs.

W-League Melbourne Victory is propping up the W-League table in eighth and last place after a 1-0 home defeat to the Brisbane Roar on Saturday. Former Victory player Vedrana Popovic scored the only goal of the match from a free kick in the 17th minute. Melbourne suffered two major injuries in the match with Louisa Bisby and reigning W-League ‘young player of the year’ Ashley Brown both suffering ACL knee injuries. The Victory is the only team in the league yet to score a goal this season and has two losses from two games. Melbourne plays Newcastle Jets at Kardinia Park in Geelong this Saturday at 2pm.

Lions’ bats trip like lambs to the slaughter

BY TEO PELLIZZERI

Caught short: Melton’s Anthony Gale is run out as Werribee’s Jake Purton celebrates.

INBRIEF

Picture: Shawn Smits

MELTON’S batting failed as it was given an eight-wicket hiding by Werribee in Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association at the weekend.

Rolled for double figures, Melton’s 96 wasn’t enough to trouble Werribee who reached the target just two wickets down.

If not for a 49-run stand for the eighth wicket between Nathan Allen (38) and Duncan Harrison (37no) the score could have been far more embarrassing for the Lions.

Allen and Harrison were the only two Melton batsmen to make double figures.

The Lions were 3-1, 5-15 and then 7-28 as an even spread of Werribee wicket-takers (no bowler took more than two wickets) ripped through the top order at Chirnside Park.

Melton’s quicks couldn’t get the same joy out of the pitch after an early Werribee wicket fell at 1-11 and were beaten by the 33rd over when Werribee reached 2-97.

Melton plays Kingston Saints in a one-dayer at MacPherson Park on Saturday.

In South-West second XI, Melton opening bowlers Ashley Armstrong (4-14) and Ryan McLean (3-20) did the damage as Werribee (134) went down by eight wickets.

Melton’s Stuart Wilson top-scored with 66no as the Lions reached 2-138 in reply.

In North-West thirds, Melton won a lowscoring match by five wickets after making 5-102 in reply to Werribee’s 99 all-out.

Jarrod Thomson (3-23 and 39no) led the Lions in both wickets and runs.

In North-West fourth XI, Melton could not match Werribee’s run rate as it ground out 9-90 off its 40 overs in reply to 8-160.

Julien Johnson (3-21) was best of the Melton bowlers, while none of the batsmen passed 30.

MELTON SOUTH LITTLE ATHLETICS RESULTS

WDCA

BCA

Melton South did enough to avoid outright defeat to Williamstown Imperials at the weekend, but it still sits last on the A1 Turf table after its second loss in as many games. Melton South resumed its second innings on Saturday still 39 behind the Imps, going on to bat for 80.3 overs and post 128. It left the Imps just three overs to chase 75 for the outright. Chris Camenzuli (34) top-scored in Melton South’s second dig. In B1 Turf, Melton Centrals successfully bowled out Grand United a second time to win by an innings and 13 runs. Scott Lumley (4-30) was best of the Centrals bowlers as Grand United was all-out 118 in its second innings. The win means Melton Centrals leads the B1 Turf ladder with 16 points from Deer Park Ardeer and Williamstown Imperials with 12 each.

Darley comfortably defended its 305 on the board from the previous week as it bowled out North Ballarat for 148 in first grade at Darley Park on Saturday. North Ballarat did get to 2-94 but lost 4-16 to fall off the pace and wickets fell steadily thereafter.

Brian Wheelahan (5-40) was best of the Darley bowlers, while Peter Moore claimed 3-28. The win puts Darley third on the table with six points, six off the pace of ladder leader Lake Wendouree.

WSUCCA Altona Sports showed little mercy to Rockbank as it inflicted an innings and 95-run defeat in A grade synthetic.

Rockbank (75 and 93) was no match for Altona Sports’ 9-263 declared. Mark Lalli-Cafini provided the most resistance in the Rams’ second dig with 49.
