A day when life changes

(Dennis Manktelow)

For brothers Albert and Jamel, this Australia Day will symbolise new hope, new lives and opportunities. The pair weren’t born in Australia, but Australia was born in them after they arrived from the Philippines with limited English, a textbook understanding of the land down-under, and big dreams. But Albert and Jamel also symbolise what it means to be Australian – two young boys who’ve fallen in love with footy, meat pies and Aussie beaches. Jamel, 16, is in year 11 this year and hopes to study medicine. Albert, 13, is still at the start of his high school journey, unsure where life will take him. But he knows one thing for sure – his mates make life here much easier. Jamel, Albert and their parents get their Australian citizenship certificates on Thursday. Mum Marie Quinto says the day will be life-changing. “It means we can stay here forever, my kids can have the same opportunities as other Australian kids, and we can travel freely around the world without visas. “We’ve been accepted in this country and we feel like we finally belong in the community.” Melton council’s Australia Day celebrations kick off at 9.30am at the Willows Historical Park, while Moorabool council’s celebrations run from 8-11am at 207 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh.

House of hope in trouble By Sumeyya Ilanbey A Bacchus Marsh not-for-profit drug rehabilitation centre that transformed the lives of people has closed its doors after an 11-month stint because of a lack of funding. The closure of Bluebird House, which relied solely on funding and philanthropic donations, will come as a blow to a community grappling with an ice epidemic. Brooke, one of 11 people to access treatment at Bluebird House, said the centre was vital in getting her clean and introducing her to an addiction-free world.

Brooke started abusing alcohol at age 12. By the time she was 16, she was addicted to ‘ice’. It was a life that seemed to be spiralling out of control, but for the past 18 months, she has been clean thanks to the efforts of volunteers at Bluebird House. “Bluebird gave me a chance at recovery; it helped me to change my way of thinking,” Brooke said. “I’ve always been taught how to get sick, but Bluebird House taught me how to get well. It was very hard and I felt very vulnerable, but it was the best thing that’s happened to me. “I tried to get into so many rehabs, but unless mum put a mortgage on the house it was

impossible. Even then, many centres rejected me as I was considered high-risk because of my mental health. Bluebird House staff came to me and exposed me to the facility and recovery.” The ‘house’, which needs about $600,000 a year to be viable, has received only a $5000 Moorabool council grant and $15,000 in donations. Co-founder Amber Farrugia said the house committee hoped money would start rolling in to fund a centre that was a solution to a problem many raised concerns about – the growing number of drug users and increasing cost of private rehab. Ms Farrugia said the ‘house’

offered a safe place and an opportunity for people to “renew themselves”. “These people need treatment. Drug addiction is a health condition, a medical condition. It’s not a moral failing,” she said. Bluebird House committee members are in talks with another organisation and the federal government to ensure ongoing funding. A federal Health Department spokeswoman said North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network, whose catchment takes in Bluebird House, had received $6.4 million over three years to commission additional drug and alcohol treatment services.

Pay plans part of fines clean-up By Sumeyya Ilanbey Melton motorists owe state coffers more than $76 million in unpaid fines. And the sheriff is warning fare evaders to call now rather than face steeper costs. Recent figures reveal there are almost 200,000 warrants outstanding for 23,000 Melton motorists, placing the municipality in the infamous top 10 list for fare evasion. Casey and Hume councils hold the top two places for a second year in a row, with Frankston, Wyndham, Greater Dandenong, Melton, Whittlesea, Moreland, Brimbank and

Mornington Peninsula rounding out the top 10. Victorian sheriff Brendan Facey said while the number of infringement notices decreased by 4.6 per cent in the 2015-16 financial year, there was a seven per cent jump in the number of warrants issued to recover long-term unpaid fines. To tackle its growing debt recovery problem, the justice department launched a statewide call centre initiative in July last year to help people manage and pay their fines early. As part of the initiative, operators were calling people who’d passed the first due date on their infringement notices as a reminder.

Mr Facey said in seven months, operators have contacted more than 31,500 people and recovered $16.2 million in unpaid fines. It’s also arranged payment plans for 18,500 warrants, valued at $3.6 million. “Unfortunately, some people are still not getting the message that you cannot ignore your unpaid fines,” he said. “We don’t want to see people’s matters escalating through the system. We want people to speak to us about their options before they are caught by the sheriff’s office.” He said the call centre initiative had been well-received, with many people simply

forgetting they had an outstanding fine or needing help to understand the process to finalise their matter. “They were genuinely pleased to have the opportunity to speak to someone about it, instead of dealing with an automated process or deciding it was all just too difficult and ignoring it,” Mr Facey said. People issued with infringement notices are being urged to deal with them quickly, as the fines can quickly mount up if ignored. Someone ignoring a $389 red-light infringement for six months could end up having to pay $576.60. Details: fines.vic.gov.au

Lost pets wait for death row reprieve Wanna give a furry friend a new home, a life and love? Here’s your chance. Pet rescue organisations will visit PETstock Bacchus Marsh on National Pet Adoption Day to highlight the plight of hundreds and thousands of homeless animals waiting in limbo for their chance to live. PetRescue co-founder Vickie Davy said more than 100,000 Australian pets had been

euthanised after ending up in pounds last year. And this is a statistic she says needs to be changed. “Our goal is to turn heartbreak into hope for orphaned pets,” Ms Davy said. “If just one in five pet seekers chose to adopt a pet instead of (buying one), we could end pet homelessness Australia wide.” Ms Davy said most animals had not been

Police are warning people about the dangers of fireworks in the lead up to Australia Day after two people were killed and several injured by illegal pyrotechnics around the country during New Year’s Eve celebrations. Melton Sergeant Steve Cook said people found guilty of illegally selling, buying or setting off fireworks could face serious consequences in court. He’s warned people against taking the risk for a “10 second spontaneous combustion”. “Don’t be stupid,” he said. “You may think it’s fun, but there are kids out there and other families. “These things can cause serious injuries, and at times fatalities, if handled by people who aren’t licensed.” CFA District 14 Operations Officer David Harris said the short-term thrill of lighting fireworks was not worth the possible consequences. “Often you see injuries to the face and hands of people who have used them … and they’re quite serious,” Mr Harris said. “But they can also often start grass fires … or embers from the fireworks can cause fires in the roof of a building.” Melton fire brigade responded to more than 10 reckless and suspicious fires on Australia Day last year, including illegal bonfires, fireworks and burn-offs. For details on what is allowed during the fire danger period, call the emergency hotline on 1800 226 226. Anyone with information about illegal fireworks is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Family violence reports mount up By Sumeyya Ilanbey Despite efforts to reduce the strain on domestic violence support services, Women’s Health West is taking increasing numbers of police referrals for victims needing help. Victoria Police has been trialling a program called Enhancing Police Responses to Family Violence at Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay, Wyndham, Brimbank and Melton. This streamlines the police referral process. It was expected that referrals would drop by about 30 per cent after the pilot program was rolled out in July last year, thereby reducing the pressure on women’s support services.

But while this 30 per cent drop happened, overall, the number of domestic violence incidents continues to climb through the roof. There were 4980 police referrals to Women’s Health West in the six months to December, 2015. The figure for the six months to December, 2016 (once the pilot program was introduced) was 4927. WHW chief executive Robyn Gregory said police and domestic violence services had been “overwhelmed” by referral numbers that “just went up and up”. “We had months where we were dealing with thousands of police referrals, and it was just overwhelming with a small number of staff,”

Dr Gregory said. “Sometimes we had only two or three staff responding. “The police, like us, were overwhelmed … so they made a decision in the face of not having additional resources themselves, to only fax police referrals to Women’s Health West where the incident was in the criminal category.” Dr Gregory said in view of the resources available, this was the only viable option, but not being able to intervene early in non-criminal abuses draws a “double-edged sword”. She said it was unfortunate some domestic violence victims weren’t able to be seen by health services because of the constraints of the system.

“In those areas coded non-criminal, there’s an opportunity to engage with the women … before they escalate into criminal abuse,” Dr Gregory said. “[But] how do we ensure we keep women and children safe and hold perpetrators to account with the resources we have?” She hopes the state government’s 10-year financial strategy for tackling domestic violence, to be released later this year, will be able to address critical resourcing issues. There needs to be much greater investment in primary prevention, she said, based on long-term plans to tackle the scourge of domestic violence into the future.

A big night in Sunbury Lachlan was the perfect New Year gift for the Gray-Gazzola family. The Sunbury boy was born at 3.23pm on January 1 at the Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital – the hospital’s first baby for the year. Mum Jessica Gray and dad Pete Gazzola generally spend New Years eve at Yendon, where their families live, but decided to have a “quiet one in” to welcome 2017. It was a good thing they did – Ms Gray’s waters broke just before midnight and she was rushed to hospital as the fireworks were being lit. Her contractions started at 10am on January 1 and the “perfect little boy” was born that afternoon. “I was only pushing for 30 minutes so it was very quick,” the first-time mum said.

“It was quite a magical moment.” Ms Gray says she’s already looking forward to a second child, but Pete is “a bit traumatised” by it all. But Mr Gazzola says he’s been handling fatherhood well. “I think we’re very lucky – everything is going by the book,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in Jess. “I went straight into changing the nappies and doing everything I can to look after the house. I’m not sure if I’m much help yet, but I’m good for the cuddles.” Sumeyya Ilanbey Lachlan with dad Pete Gazzola and mum Jessica Gray (Shawn Smits)

Class action call as estate fails By Sumeyya Ilanbey When Rick bought land in the “exclusive” Waterford Estate six years ago, he was promised schools, parks, shopping centres and sports ovals would be built. Of all the promises, only a park has been built, Rick (not his real name) says. To make matters worse, developers Land Source Australia was declared bankrupt in November last year. Waterford Estate residents are now in limbo, unsure whether promises will be delivered – they’re now considering class action to have those promised amenities built.

“When we bought this land here, we knew Melton South wasn’t a poshy area,” Rick says. “But the way it was represented to us at the time of the sale, it would become a prime residential area, reason being, there was meant to be a swimming pool, tennis courts, gymnasium, and so on. “But none of that has been delivered.” Rick says he bought his block of land in 2011 for $175,000, but he would be lucky to sell it at a profit, taking into account consumer price index levels, depreciation and house prices. “Six months ago, I bought a block of land in Thornhill Park for $150,000. I recently

asked again, and was told ‘you’re lucky to get anything under $200,000’. “So within six months, my Thornhill Park land has gone up $50,000. In six years, my Waterford house price hasn’t gone up. People are selling their houses for $50,000 less than what the value should be.” He says residents are frustrated, and many have taken to social media to vent their anger and concerns. One resident commented on Facebook that she built her house two years ago under the impression the estate was going to be “great”. “Still waiting for schools, shopping centres,

parklands, residents centres and much, much more to be built,” the resident said. A community meeting has been organised for 2pm, Saturday, January 28, at Waterford Park, Melton South. Rick says Waterford Estate residents will have a chance to talk about their options, including the possibility of finding another developer willing to deliver those promised amenities. Star Weekly tried to contact Korda Mentha, an advisory and investment firm appointed as receiver by the courts to sell Land Source Australia’s assets, several times. The company did not return repeated requests to call.

Relay rallies good people When Catherine Brincau’s husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2010, her father lamented: ‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’. Less than two years after her husband’s death, Ms Brincau’s father was also diagnosed with cancer, and also died. “When I told my mum and dad about my husband, my dad said ‘why him, why not me?’,” Ms Brincau says. “And those words have always stuck in my head … cancer touched so close to home … before that I had never lost anyone, I had never experienced death in the family.” A few years ago, Ms Brincau formed The Warriors group to take part in the Melton Relay for Life. And the response from the community has been overwhelming, she says. “People in their 70s are working so hard to

raise money,” Ms Brincau says. “Sometimes I’m so exhausted and think I can’t go on any further, but then you see everyone working so hard, and I think I’ve got to put my everything in.” Ms Brincau says she hopes there’ll be a time, and world where deaths from cancer will be a distant memory … maybe not in her lifetime, but hopefully her children’s. “Cancer hits anybody and everybody – it’s like a Russian roulette.” The Warriors have organised a fundraising dinner at the Melton Seniors Hall, McKenzie Street, from 7pm until midnight, on Saturday, February 11. Tickets cost $40, and include a buffet-style meal, entertainment “and a wonderful night for a great cause”. For more information, call 0416 612 517. Sumeyya Ilanbey

Taty loves the pool, but is always under strict supervision. (Shawn Smits)

Fence, safety warning Taty loves to have a splash in the water … especially in her grandmother’s backyard pool. But the 10-year-old’s grandma, Christine Rudkovsky, knows there’s no room to be lax when it comes to safety around water. Children aged between 0 and 14 have made up the highest proportion of drowning deaths in backyard pools since 2000, according to Life Saving Victoria. But the deaths are generally avoidable, with evidence suggesting most were a result of fencing that was faulty or not compliant with Australian standards, LSV principal research associate Bernadette Matthews said. “We urge people who have a home pool to check the safety of their pool fences and surrounding areas before your child does,” Dr Matthews said.

“Of course, a pool fence is still no substitute for active supervision of children around water. “For toddlers and children under five, this means being within arm’s reach, so that you can help them stay safe,” she said. “We also recommend that children under 10 are always in your sights, and that you aren’t distracted by your phone or reading a magazine.” Slater and Gordon senior public liability lawyer Barrie Woollacott said pool owners could face criminal charges, including manslaughter, if their fences are not compliant with safety standards.

MY PLACE Gill Ellis, 69, says moving to Melton was the best decision of his life. The former Melton citizen of the year tells Sumeyya Ilanbey about himself and how the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed transformed his life. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your connection to Melton?

send us off. Apart from that, we love the parks. We think the parks in Melton are awesome, and I hope they never sell the parks or put houses on them.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here since about 1970. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a returned serviceman and, when I came home from Vietnam, I told my wife Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like somewhere nice and quiet to live. She said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I know this place called Meltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and we drove out here. When we got here, I read the sign and it said the town had a population of about 1000 people, and I figured nobody in their right mind would come out here, so I thought this place was fantastic.

How has the Melton menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed helped you? Camaraderie and mateship. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be down there to understand what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying, but nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than anybody else down there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge anybody or anything like that. But we do support each other. If it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the health talks at the shed, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been able to get the hearing aids. I think everyone there got sick to death of me saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eh?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; all the time.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favourite thing about living in Melton? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always liked Melton. When I first came here, there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many people, and it was quiet. One thing coming home from Vietnam was that we had a problem of running into protesters and stuff like that. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anything to do with that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I wanted to have a nice, quiet life. When we came to Melton, I found that the people of Melton accepted me, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about me being a Vietnam veteran, and just accepted me for who I am. Moving here was one of the best therapies.

Cr Lara Carli Watts Ward As this is my first Ward Talk for 2017, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank residents of Watts Ward for re-electing me as their Council representative for the next four years. It’s an honour to be chosen as the voice of our community once again, and I’m looking forward to doing all I can to make our wonderful municipality the best it can be. I’d also like to express how thrilled I am that the trial for my free snake catcher program initiative has been extended to the end of August 2017 in direct response to community demand. Residents who need to report a snake should call 9747 7200 for assistance. I’ll be hosting morning teas to meet Watts Ward residents and discuss ideas or concerns you may have on Tuesday 21 February and Tuesday 21 March at 10.30am. If you’re interested, please RSVP (for catering purposes) on the number or email address below by Monday 13 February.

More trains, more often from Sunday 29 January.

Finally, I encourage you all to come down to Summersault on Saturday 11 February at Town Centre Recreation Reserve, Caroline Springs. I’ll be there with my family enjoying the carnival, gourmet food vans, artisan market, free children’s entertainment, and of course, main stage performances by Zoe Badwi, Nathaniel and Sneaky Sound System. Visit melton.vic.gov.au/Summersault for more information.

Always obey the warning signs at level crossings and take care around trains.

Straw bales best for pain-free gardening As one lady in her 80s said: “It’s not the getting down to my vegie garden, it’s the getting up again that’s the hard part.” It’s true that as we get older, the planting, weeding, digging and even harvesting can get a bit beyond us. Downsizing to an apartment or joining a retirement community can also put a serious dent in our vegie garden aspirations. But there is a way our cherished home-grown vegies can co-exist with rickety knees, failing leg muscles and iffy backs, as well as limited garden space – a straw bale garden. Not only is a straw bale garden inexpensive, you can put it wherever you want and it’ll eventually turn into compost to feed next season’s garden – how’s that for recycling? Okay, so here’s the drill … once you’ve bought your bale(s): 1. Choose a sunny spot for permanent placement when it’s still dry (it gets mighty heavy once wet). If on grass, lay newspaper layers or cardboard beneath it to prevent weeds growing up through it. To avoid bending, you can place it on a knee-high surface – leaving about 30cm all around so that as the bale gradually decomposes, the “mess” can be easily swept into a container. 2. Position the bale so the narrow side showing cut straw ends is facing up – this allows better moisture penetration. 3. Condition the bale first. For the first three days, water it thoroughly so it stays damp. For the next six days, continue watering and add a liquid fertiliser. On day 10, it’s back to just watering until the temperature inside the bale (it gets really hot) has cooled down to external air temperature. Then it’s time to plant. 4. Choose smaller plants, such as herbs, lettuces, rocket, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries and cherry tomatoes – or flowers. Make a suitably sized hole in the bale, add in quality potting soil for extra nutrients and stability, and pop the seedling in. Fertilise every two to three weeks and don’t let the bale dry out. You’re done! Happy growing … happy knees and back … Carole Levy

Something to cheer about American-style cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and dance schools around Australia are riding the wave, with allaged students flocking to get some pom-pom action. Cheerleading classes teach all the fundamentals of cheerleading, such as tumbles, cheer, chants, stunts, dance and pom-pom work. It’s all about having fun in a team, learning about sportsmanship, and using movement in an exuberant celebration. Even pre-schoolers love to perform in a cheerleading squad, and are able to form wonderful friendships doing their bit together. It was back in 1860s Britain that cheering and chanting in unison for favourite athletes at sporting events began. Soon it spread to the US, where on November 6, 1869, the first intercollegiate football game took place, marking the day the original “sis-boom-rah” cheer was first used, variations of which are still chanted today. Cheerleading was once an all-male domain, but World War II created a chance for women to step up. It wasn’t until the 1950s that cheerleading became professional and, by the 1960s, it was considered a mostly feminine pursuit. Today it’s open to anyone, but girls still dominate the sport. Cheerleading has come a long way and is now a genuine career option, with Aussie sporting events often fielding cheer squads. So if you have an active child who loves the whole dance thing, this could be the way to introduce them to discipline, to learn how to co-operate with others and to give them all the exercise they’ll need.

On about 8.5 hectares of picturesque prime land, this tri-level, Dona Homes-built house has all the components of the late ‘70s to mid-’80s design. Cedar on raked ceilings and walls, exposed brick, slate flooring and architectural angles characterise this place – a classic natural wood look that responds beautifully to contemporary twists. Three separate living areas are a boon, and the three bedrooms couple with a study and two bathrooms (one with a spa). The kitchen has timber cabinetry aplenty, a wall oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher. A back verandah above brick paving overlooks established gardens, and an inground pool promises summertime fun. The property has a double garage, a double carport and two dams; it adjoins a vineyard.

Within a stone’s throw of schools and a walk away from a shopping precinct, this place on about 600 square metres is bound to interest families and investors alike. The house has the popular open-plan layout, with a wide tiled hallway extending seamlessly to the living hub. Opposite an open study in the entrance hall is the main bedroom, which has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with dual basins and enclosed toilet. Other bedrooms (with wardrobes) share a rear hallway with the main bathroom, separate toilet and a laundry with closet. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry, island bench, two-tone cabinetry, dishwasher and 900mm cooker. The living hub opens to a covered pergola which looks out to a backyard ready for personal touches. Ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a remote-controlled double garage with back roller door and internal access are part of the deal.

On a corner block of about 610 square metres, in popular Botanica Springs estate with its access to the community centre’s pool, gym and tennis court, this modern abode offers spacious living areas, inside and out, and room to grow. Four bedrooms include the main with walk-in robe and an en suite in the same decor as the main bathroom (café noir on white). Interior living includes an open, grey-carpeted lounge room and the tiled family living hub, which incorporates a smart kitchen with a stone-topped island bench, stacks of timber-laminate storage, red glass splashback and all the mod cons. Outside, a covered pergola faces a large, grassy backyard ready for landscaping, or perhaps the addition of pool or dream shed.

On about 830 square metres at the end of a quiet court, this house will tempt bigger families and investors wanting to tap into potential. There are five carpeted bedrooms (with ceiling fans) – three secondary with built-in robes, and the main with walk-in robe and en suite. A large, carpeted lounge room at the front has a wood heater in a tapestry brick fireplace, as well as a ceiling fan. The good-sized tiled family-meals area adjoins a kitchen with white timber-trimmed cabinetry, wall oven and gas cooktop. Ducted heating is throughout, there’s an air-conditioner for the meals zone, and fibre-to-the-node NBN is connected. An elevated verandah wraps from the side around to the back and takes in views of large yards; the side yard has extensive paving and a garden shed. Less than a kilometre from the main street, the property also has a double garage with back roller door.

Cracks are signs of ground movement

‘‘

Moisture … could have a major impact on home - Robert Caulfield structures

’’

(iStock)

With summer’s high temperatures and near freezing winters, houses and buildings shift with the stress of soil expansion and contraction. Melburnians are urged to check and monitor their residences for cracking. Dry soil causes foundations to move, walls develop cracks, or a lean, which can be dangerous. Archicentre director Robert Caulfield says the rise in cases of cracked walls is due to dry conditions that are beginning to take a heavy toll on Melbourne houses. “With the traditional summer temperatures having already removed moisture from the soil, the continuing high temperatures in autumn, plus the lack of rainfall in many areas, moisture in the ground will be further changing and this could have a major impact on home structures,” Mr Caulfield said. Houses in older suburbs, unmaintained houses and those with existing cracks are high priorities and the most at risk. “When the soil dries out, strain is placed on a building’s structure and cracks can appear overnight. “The removal of moisture from clay soils can also cause shrinkage and place stress on the home’s foundation. This is indicated by cracks appearing in brickwork, internal plaster work or tiled areas such as the shower recess.” Mr Caulfield says it’s important for home owners not to panic if a crack appears, but the situation should be monitored and owners should get professional advice. “Serious cracking might need some form of structural repair. The appearance of cracks can be extremely stressful and worrying for people, and it is better to get professional advice on the issue quickly,” Mr Caulfield said. www.archicentre.com.au

SPORT Melton bloods new coach from defence Katie Kakoschke is enjoying her netball as much as ever. The Melton defender, who is approaching 40, knows that even though she’s playing some of her best netball, her career is coming to an end. With that in mind, the defender agreed to coach the Ballarat Netball League club’s A-grade side this season. “I played here at Melton last year and I absolutely loved it,” she said.“At 39, I have to look at retirement, and the girls asked me if I want to coach this year. “I’ve never coached before … I wanted to give it a try and, hopefully, it works. “I’ll have one more year playing and definitely want to look at continuing coaching after that.” Kakoschke finished fourth in the league’s

best and fairest and won the Bloods’ top award. She said while she’s playing her best netball her body isn’t handling the workload as it once did. She said she was looking forward to taking on the challenge of coaching. “I know I’m the coach but I want the girls to have some input. Everyone can have their say.” She said most of last year’s playing group had stayed on, with only one or two players not returning. The club has looked for reinforcements across the court, especially at the goaling end, where they struggled last year. One player not returning is former playing coach and main shooter Renee Hulls, who will coach Darley this year. “We have a couple of girls trying out to fill the

[shooting] spots,” Kakoschke said. “There’ve been a lot of girls at training trying out for all the teams. We’re still deciding on what teams they’ll be in. “We’ve got a few younger girls coming up from under-19s as well.” Kakoschke said the Bloods are hoping to improve on where they finished last year, at ninth after a slow start. “We would love to win as many games as possible,” she said. “Last season didn’t go too well at the start of the year. We worked our way into it in the second half. “The goal is not to take half a season to get into it. We want to finish higher than last season.” Tara Murray

Centrals crash to defeat By Tara Murray Melton Centrals let slip the opportunity to cement top spot in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s west A1 competition. Centrals entered the weekend’s oneday matches just 0.01 points ahead of second-placed Seabrook with Grand United and Williamstown Imperials close behind. Facing Grand United, Centrals could have put a gap on them. Instead they were left to rue a loss, with United moving to the top of the table. Grand United managed a respectable 186, being dismissed on the second-last ball. Steven Robertson and Craig Street each took three wickets for Centrals, who, after cruising at 3-134, crashed to 164 in reply. Speaking before the match, Centrals coach Adam Hulett said any of the top sides could win the competition, so every run and wicket would prove vital. “Anyone can beat anyone on their day. There’s other good teams, so we don’t want to be complacent.” Hulett said that for most of the season, his side had played consistently well. Even in tough situations it had found a way to win, notably in the previous match when it defended a modest 93 against Williamstown Imperials. “We didn’t think we had enough runs on the board,” he said of that fixture. “The batting conditions weren’t great, but it still took 35 overs for us to be bowled out. “Then we got a few wickets in the first few overs … the bowlers got the job done. “Besides that match, we’ve been batting well. Week to week, different people are stepping up.” Hulett says he sees improvement on the way for second-placed Centrals. The side, in its first season in VTCA, was adjusting to having to play on after the winning runs were scored in order to secure bonus points. In fact, bonus points will decide the top four. “I don’t think we’ve hit our best yet,” he said. “With a bit of luck, hopefully our best will come in finals.” In other results, Melton South Primary School recorded its second win for the season, defeating Williamstown Congs by a single run. It’s the Royals’ first win on the field, their only other coming from a forfeit. Royals made 120 and the Congs looked to be cruising at 2-91. Then the collapse started, the Congs losing 8-28 to be dismissed for 119. The last five wickets fell four runs. In north A1, Sydenham/Hillside defeated local rival Caroline Springs, the Storm made 5-228 off its overs. The Falcons were never close to getting the runs, finishing their overs at 8-131. The win leaves the Storm 3.24 points outside the top four.

Sports shorts Ballarat CA

It was a day to forget for Darley’s bowlers in its Ballarat Cricket Association match. In a top of the table clash against Wendouree, the Lions struggled to make inroads with the ball and were made to pay. Wendouree piled on the runs, making a massive 4-307 from 80 overs, a score that hasn’t been hit against the Lions for at least a couple of years. Matt Cape was the only bowler to strike, taking two wickets, as the Lions also inflicted two run-outs. The loss means the Lions lose top spot.

Swimming

Melton Swimming Club’s junior development squad had a successful weekend at the 2017 South Australian long course state championships. Nine-year-old Alisha Waters took home silver in the 11 and under 50 metres, and 11 and 11 and under 100 metre butterfly, while 10-year-old Noah O’Donnell finished second in the 11 and under 100 metres butterfly and 200 metre individual medley. Nathan Paterson made it through to the finals of the 13-years’ 200 metre breaststroke. Overall, the club had swimmers in 58 races, in which 60 per cent swam personal best times.

Bowls

Bacchus Marsh struggled to match it with ladder leaders Gisborne in the Central Highlands Bowls Division’s division 1 on Saturday. Looking to keep the pressure on the top four, fifth-placed Bacchus Marsh lost 96 (16)-76 (2). Craig Norris was the winning skipper for Bacchus Marsh, with his rink winning by four shots. Bacchus Marsh sits 17 points outside the top four. In division 2, Bacchus Marsh took no points against Macedon. Craig McAuliffe’s rink came within one shot of getting at least one, otherwise it was a struggle. Bacchus Marsh lost 104 (18)-61 (0). It was a sad week at the club, with life member Anne Trigger passing away.

Bowls

The Avenue came close, but not close enough, in Ballarat District Bowls Association division 1 on Saturday against Central Wendouree. The Avenue was in the mix in all four rinks, but couldn’t pick up any shots when it mattered most. Steve Sullivan’s rink came away with one point after drawing, but the other three rinks all went down by less than 10 shots. Central Wendouree won 101 (17)-74 (1).

Cricket

Melton’s struggles in the new year just don’t seem to want to go away, with the side on track for a third straight loss in the Victorian Sub-district Cricket Association’s east-west competition. While the aim was to get their season back on track in their match against Croydon, the Lions were left to rue a decision to send the opposition into bat. Croydon put on 9-337 from its 80 overs.

Bulls bowlers get job done By Tara Murray Bacchus Marsh remains well and truly in the finals mix in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association’s McIntyre Cup. With not much separating the competition’s teams and Riddell also pressing its finals claims, the Bulls had to win against Romsey on Saturday. The Bulls made 271 on day one on the back of 97 from Dennis O’Loughlin and entered day two looking good. Romsey started day two well, its top order getting among the runs, but the Bulls kept the pressure on with tight bowling and good fielding. Romsey was well and truly in the game at 2-131, but once the Bulls started to get wickets they continued to fall. Romsey lost 8-49 to be all out for 179. O’Loughlin also starred with the ball, taking 5-61 off 19.2 overs, while Michael Ekanayaka and Ian Spiteri took two wickets each, The win leaves the Bulls 0.74 points behind fourth-placed Diggers Rest Bulla with four rounds remaining. This week, the Bulls will face second placed Gisborne, which will be followed by a match up with third-placed Riddell. Diggers Rest Bulla had a disappointing result against Gisborne in their two-day clash. Having struggled with the bat, the Burras had to watch on as the Dragons had a field day during their innings. The Dragons made a massive 7-337 in overtaking the Burras’ 101. Beau Valka was the star for the Dragons, making 116.

Lindon Dowsett, Kane Shaw and Darren Quarrell took two wicket each for the Burras. The loss resulted in the Burras slipping from second to fourth. In B grade, both Bacchus Marsh and St Anthonys suffered losses. The Bulls, sitting in fourth spot, took on ladder leader Wallan. Wallan chased down Bacchus Marsh’s 174 with ease, making 6-206. The Bulls are just under four points clear of fifth-placed Macedon, which fell to an outright loss. Brenton Payne was the pick of the bowlers for the Bulls, taking 2-51. St Anthonys finals chances suffered another setback with a loss to East Sunbury. The Saints’ 161 was never going to be enough, with the Thunder passing the total four wickets down. Robert Strugnell took two wickets for the Saints. The Saints, who made last year’s B-grade grand final, are seventh and only ahead of winless Ashfield. Bacchus Marsh’s hopes of having all its sides play finals remain alive. Only its first XI side is currently outside the top four. The club’s fourth, fifth and sixth sides all had wins on the weekend, while the thirds lost in a top-of-the-ladder clash with Rupertswood. Having starred the previous weekend with the bat, Bacchus Marsh’s Dennis O’Loughlin did it with the ball on Saturday. (Damian Visentini)
