Despite a long-standing campaign for better coverage, Beveridge residents have missed out on the �rst round of federal government funding for new mobile phone base stations.

�e federal government has teamed up with state and territory governments and telecommunications companies to build and upgrade almost 500 mobile phone towers to provide better coverage for rural and outer metropolitan areas.

“It is important that anyone who received treatment from any unregistered individual has their teeth examined by a registered dentist so that any oral health issues can be identi�ed,” Dr Romanes said.

�ree properties at Roxburgh Park and Meadows Heights have been raided over alleged unregistered and substandard dentistry practices.

�e Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) executed a search warrant at a house in Yaralla Court, Meadow Heights, on June 13 and found evidence that illegal dental treatment had been o�ered.

�e inspection found evidence of poor hygiene practices, inadequate infection control and substandard care.

Two more search warrants were carried out �ve days later at Bicentennial Crescent, Meadow Heights, and Preston Avenue, Roxburgh Park, a�er a tip-o� that dental work had also been carried out at these premises by unregistered dentists.

Charges are yet to be laid, but the AHPRA immediately passed on its concerns to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which has since issued an urgent warning about the dangers of being treated by unregistered dentists.

Victoria’s acting chief health o�cer, Finn Romanes, said he was concerned more patients

Velipasaoglu will front the Broadmeadows Magistrates Court on August 14.

An AHPRA spokeswoman said Velipasaoglu was registered as a dentist in Turkey, but it was not clear whether he practised there.

A�er his case was made public on June 10, 85 people called the DHHS hotline seeking advice.

DHHS is urging anyone who received dental treatment at Yaralla Court, Bicentennial Crescent at Meadow Heights or Preston Avenue, Roxburgh Park, to call 1800 356 061.

�e number of Blue Light discos has halved in parts of the state, a year on from cuts to the 39-year police-led crime prevention initiative.

Leading Senior Constable Wendy Shields, who runs the Mill Park Blue Light disco, said normally there would be a disco every month, but only three had been held this year.

Blue Light state co-ordinator Karen Burns said the number of discos held across Victoria this year was almost on par with last year’s tally, but some areas were facing worse viability issues than others.

“We’ve de�nitely been faced with more challenges this year,” she said.

Former Blue Light Disco chief executive Ivan Ray said he didn’t think the program had a long-term future.

“When I le� it, they were surviving and that’s about as strong as I could put it,” he said.

Mr Ray, who stepped down from the role eight months ago, and former police chief commissioner Kel Glare, have penned an open letter calling on the state government and Victoria Police to recommit to the Blue Light Disco program and the now-defunct Police Schools Involvement Program, which introduced young people to police.

“Victoria Police is stepping away from youth programs,” Mr Ray said.

He said many police o�cers were continuing to run Blue Light discos in their own time and at their own risk.

In March last year, Victoria Police cut sta� and resources, leaving the disco program short by $250,000 a year.

Blue light dims for dancersBrittany Beattie’s wardrobe has been given

an overhaul. Since being chosen for one of 12 coveted spots on the ninth series of Australia’s Next Top Model, the Whittlesea resident has swapped the high-visibility vests and �annel shirts she wore as a bob-cat driver for heels and ripped jeans.

Despite being in contention to take out the series, the willowy 20-year-old is just as grounded, humorous and likeable as she was before thousands of Australians came to know her on-screen.

She also still lives in a caravan on her aunt and uncle’s Whittlesea property. While her humble roots have drawn negative comments on social media forums, Miss Beattie’s proud of the place she calls home.

“I’m a bogan who lives in a caravan and I’m proud of it,” she told Star Weekly last week. “Whittlesea has been an awesome place to grow up and it’s made me who I am today,” she said. “It will always be home.”

�e tall brunette attended Whittlesea Secondary College, completing year 10 before dropping out and pursuing other interests. She said school was a tumultuous time. She moved in and out of her mother’s house when she was 16 before settling at her aunt and uncle’s, and she completed numerous courses in search of her passion.

And that’s something she thinks she has found in modelling.

“I feel like the show has changed me heaps,” she said. “It’s helped me realise the world isn’t as scary as I thought. It’s opened me up and I’m happier with myself.”

Her performance on the Fox8 program prompted French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier to �y her to Paris to walk the catwalk in his latest collection. It was her �rst time overseas and has inspired her to pursue an international modelling career.

A family-owned Campbell�eld company that manufacturers metal car parts has opened a new $5 million factory.

Victoria’s Industry Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio, stood alongside Abcor director John Kaias to open the new plant this month. �e factory will allow Abcor to deliver on a new contract with Toyota Australia to produce more than 12,000 steel bull bars a year for new-generation Toyota HiLux’s.

�e new plant is �tted with highly specialised manufacturing and assembly line equipment. Its opening has created another 30 jobs for the north’s beleaguered automotive industry.

Ms D’Ambrosio said Abcor’s multimillion-dollar investment and partnership with Toyota Australia was “terri�c news for the company, the local economy and the community”.

“Globally competitive, sustainable and capable local suppliers are critical to the future of our local manufacturing,” she said. “We’re supporting local manufacturers to develop world-class engineering and design capabilities, which will create jobs and drive growth.”

Toyota Australia president Dave Buttner was also at Barry Road for the June 12 opening. He said he was delighted that there were still entrepreneurial suppliers to support the company beyond 2017, when car manufacturing in Australia ceases. Abcor started in Preston in 1971 and moved to Campbell�eld in the 1990s.

Hume council will tackle in the Supreme Court a Somerton business that has been amassing stockpiles of waste.

�e council claims the business owners have been operating “an old-fashioned tip” since April last year, without a planning permit.

Ecotec Woodwaste occupies the rear of a large block on the eastern side of the Hume Highway. Company director Gene Skliar says Ecotec is a refuse disposal company that collects commercial and organic waste and burns it at a very high temperature in a machine.

He argues the activity does not require a planning permit, but the council disagrees, claiming the business recycles building materials, which requires a permit.

�e business’s activities have recently been the subject of a Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) hearing, which in late March ruled in the council’s favour and classi�ed the company as a materials recycling business.

Ecotec’s activities were brought to the council’s attention when a large �re broke out in one of the waste piles on September 17 last year, requiring 30 �re �ghters to extinguish the blaze.

Fire continued to smoulder for two weeks a�erwards, prompting neighbouring Honda Australia employees to complain to the council about irritated eyes and throats and respiratory problems due to smoke.

�e council demanded that Ecotec clean up its site and requested an enforcement order from VCAT to force the business to stop operating.

On March 30, VCAT ordered Ecotec to provide the council with a waste removal plan and to have the 10-metre-high piles of waste removed before June 30. But, as of last week,

piles of timber architraves, roof tiles and tree trunks remained. Ecotec is also the subject of an Environment Protection Authority investigation. �e EPA has issued two pollution abatement notices and one statutory clean-up notice to the business.

EPA regional services executive director Damian Wells said these notices had been breached. He said the company had previously been caught skirting its responsibilities to Greater Dandenong council.

Mr Skliar said things turned sour with

Hume council when he refused its o�er to buy his refuse disposal technology. But the council has labelled his claims as false.

Hume’s city sustainability director, Kelvin Walsh, said he looked forward to seeing Mr Skliar’s evidence when the matter is brought before the Supreme Court next month.

Mr Skliar said his company was in the process of applying for a permit.

“We’re not going anywhere and they had better get used to us,” he said.

“We are in demand for our services.”

Northpark Private Hospital’s plan to build a new emergency department has been thwarted.

Whittlesea councillors ignored a senior planner’s recommendation and knocked back the hospital’s proposal to demolish the existing medical centre and recon�gure the carpark to make way for a new emergency department and 10 extra car spaces at its Bundoora site.

At last week’s council meeting, Cr Sam Alessi moved an alternative motion to refuse the Healthscope-owned private hospital’s expansion plan. He based his rejection of the plan on current parking woes in nearby streets and the area’s residential nature.

“�ere’s the carparking, there’s the number of buildings on that site; it’s been overdeveloped and it’s having an e�ect on the local residents,” Cr Alessi said.

Councillors were not the only ones to object to the development. Five objections, including a petition with 72 signatures, were lodged, most citing tra�c congestion, the unwanted growth of the hospital and non-compliance with existing planning permit conditions as their grounds for objecting.

A 2010 Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal decision allowed the hospital to expand and construct a multi-storey medical centre on Plenty Road. But the VCAT ruling prohibited the hospital from having more than 35 medical practitioners on site at any one time, and stipulated 277 car spaces.

Northpark general manager Gaylyn Cairns told Star Weekly there were 302 parking

spaces on site, and no more than 20 doctors were rostered on at any one time. Healthscope chief executive Robert Cooke said he was disappointed the council had not supported attempts to take the pressure o� public hospital emergency departments.

“It’s extremely disappointing that the council, in one of Australia’s fastest-growing growth corridors, is not supporting essential medical services that are currently not available to residents.”

Cr Norm Alessi said councillors had been bombarded by Bundoora residents worried about the hospital’s expansion plans.

“�ey’ve outgrown the site,” he said. “�ey’ve extended it and it just keeps growing – the area can’t accommodate it,” he said.

Eddy Abraham, a Tasman Drive resident of 40 years, said the hospital was an asset to the area, but he wanted tra�c in and out to be better managed and more parking provided.

�e head petitioner, who did not want to be named, said nearby residents couldn’t get their cars out of their driveways of a morning. “�ey’re the ones having to put up with the bad sightlines as they reverse.” He said hospital visitors o�en parked across residents’ driveways. Cr Norm Kelly said the matter would most likely end up at VCAT.

Hospital growth plan rejected

‘‘ It’s been overdeveloped and it’s having an effect on the residents ’’ - Sam Alessi

Hume council is helping residents take the �ght against unsightly tagging to the next level, with free graf�ti removal kits available. There are two types of kits, one for removing graf�ti from painted or Perspex surfaces and another for brick and stone facades. Mayor Adem Atmaca says the council took a zero tolerance approach to illegal tagging. ‘‘It is ugly and can spoil the appearance of a neighbourhood,’’ Cr Atmaca says. ‘‘We want to help residents to scrub away the tags and other spray-painted scrawl that make many people feel frustrated and, at times, unsafe.’’ The packs include cleaning liquids, cloths, paint brushes, safety goggles and gloves. Council data shows graf�ti removal costs Hume ratepayers about $130,000 a year. Details www.hume.vic.gov.au. Matt Crossman

When the Calder Cannons under-18s played at Morwell a few weeks ago, the club encouraged all the boys to drive the 180-kilometre trip.

Football manager Meg McArthur said the club wanted the players, most aged 17 and 18, to get their driving hours up, and the trip to Morwell provided an opportune chance for driving practice. “We encouraged all the boys to drive and get hours under their belt.”

�e TAC Cup football competition has had the Transport Accident Commission as its major sponsor since its inception in 1992, so it’s little wonder road safety has been drilled into the league’s teenagers.

Each year the TAC runs a competition for all 12 clubs to produce the best road safety advertisement. Short videos are uploaded to the TAC Cup’s Facebook page and the clip to

receive the most ‘likes’ is named the winner.Ms McArthur has been involved in the

initiative for eight years and says it sends an important message to novice drivers while giving them experience in front of a camera.

Northern Knights players drew on their acting skills recently to remind viewers to stay safe when driving in the dark. Knights’ talent manager, Peter Kennedy, said it was important to feel comfortable driving at night in winter.

TAC road safety project co-ordinator Samantha Buckis said young drivers made up only about an eighth of Victorian licence- holders yet accounted for almost a quarter of road trauma across the state.

Mason Point, a joint venture between Gibson Property Corporation (GPC) and Roche Property Group (RPG), is pleased to announce that Release 1 and Release 2 have successfully sold out, and Release 3 is already over 90 per cent sold.

Builders have been appointed and construction is scheduled to commence August 1, 2015 and with only five apartments remaining, buyers need to act fast to avoid missing out.

“With three Mason Point Releases consisting of over 220 dwellings under construction simultaneously, this will create many jobs over the next 18 months. Due to the excellent return and yields in previous Releases, we have seen many of our clients reinvest in Release 3”, said Mr. Charles Gibson, GPC.

Designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects, the development consists of either two or three bedroom apartments and two bedroom townhomes. With properties ranging from 75 to 139 square metres, each apartment and townhome is bathed in natural light and finished with fine attention to detail. The colour scheme has been designed using natural gum, bark, and native grasses. All appliances have been carefully chosen to ensure outstanding performance and efficiency.

“We have created and delivered on a master-planned community at Mason Point that provides large, architecturally-designed, well priced

apartments and townhomes located on the doorstep of amenities such as Westfield Plenty Valley Shopping Centre, the South Morang train station, RMIT University and primary and secondary schools just minutes away”, said Gibson.

Mason Point’s display suite is located at the corner of Oleander Drive and Bush Boulevard, Mill Park.

Lindsay McHugh hasn’t felt the sand between his toes during summer for 18 years … since the day he popped out to buy a bottle of cream for dessert in 1997, in fact.

�e former army o�cer spends the hot season on stand-by at South Morang �re station, waiting for a call-out to a nearby blaze.

“We’d just moved into the area and my wife had sent me out for a bottle of cream to have with dessert,” Mr McHugh said. “I popped my head into the station and, as they say, the rest is history.”

�e CFA volunteer was quickly bestowed with the captain’s badge, a post he held for 18 years before stepping down this month to make way for a changing of the guard.

On June 1, the Plenty Road station joined just a handful of brigades to move to an integrated model, whereby it is manned during business hours by three paid, full-time �re�ghters to take the pressure o� volunteers.

But the transition marks the end of Mr McHugh’s years at the helm, a turn of events that will allow the 59-year-old to return to summers at the beach and more time with his grandchildren, “the light of my life”.

Mr McHugh has witnessed great change. “�e brigade used to be in a very small tin shed in the middle of paddocks. Over a period of time, we’ve changed location, been given state-of-the-art equipment and our membership base has grown and changed.”

He said the CFA had been able to attract more women and people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. “�e growth in the northern suburbs has been phenomenal. You need to provide more visits to schools, nursing homes and kindergartens, and there’s a larger emphasis on �re prevention.” Mr McHugh will continue to serve as a volunteer.

Back from the frontline

By Lexi Cottee

Whittlesea residents rate their council highly according to the latest local government satisfaction survey.

The annual statewide survey, co-ordinated by Local Government Victoria, is designed to provide an insight into how communities view the performance of their councils.

The 2015 results, published last week, show Whittlesea council’s score of 66 as significantly higher than both the state average of 60 and the average index score of 62 for the Interface

of 18 are used to compile results. Whittlesea councillor Sam Alessi said the survey’s findings acknowledged the council’s hard work.

“They reinforce when we’re doing things well,” he said.

But he was wary of the way they glossed over what he viewed as council’s failures, such as spending more than $800,000 to continue the controversial tip voucher system for another year.

The council scored four points higher this year than it did in 2014.

Women were happiest with its performance,

Council Group, made up of other councils on the metropolitan fringe.

Whittlesea’s survey was conducted by an independent market research company that calls a random sample of telephone numbers from postcodes in the municipality.

The answers of 400 residents over the age

while residents aged between 50 and 64 were most unimpressed with services over the past year.

Mernda and Doreen residents gave the lowest score when it came to rating community consultation and engagement, the condition of roads and customer service, while Bundoora residents complained about the council’s lack of advocacy for their specific needs.

Cr Norm Kelly said he didn’t give much weight to the results because of the survey’s small sample size.

Council valued more than most‘‘ They [surveys] reinforce when we’re doing things well ’’ - Sam Alessi

It was as though Kathryn Lieschke and her group of bereaving mothers spoke a di�erent dialect.

“We could say things to one another that would shock most people, but it was okay because we were all going through the same thing together.”

Mrs Lieschke, of South Morang, was 37 weeks’ pregnant when she lost son Toby in utero. She and husband Lance were inconsolable at the loss of their �rst child and sought solace in Sands, an Australia-wide support group for bereaved parents.

“I found it comforting that other people knew what I was going through,” Mrs Lieschke said.

Ever since the Lieschke’s midwife suggested they contact Sands that grey day Toby died, the couple’s involvement with the not-for-pro�t organisation has grown.

Mrs Lieschke joined the management committee and has organised numerous fund- raising events, while Lance has spoken at seminars for grieving fathers and continues to attend support meetings.

Next month, Kathryn and Lance will compete in their fourth Run Melbourne, a 10-kilometre e�ort to raise money for and awareness of the largely volunteer-run Sands group.

�ey will run in memory of Toby.�e pair hope to beat last year’s e�ort

and raise more than $450 – and they’re contemplating upping the ante and competing in the half-marathon.

“I’m slowly building up to it,” Mrs Lieschke said.

�e couple have since had two more children, two-year-old Lucas and six-month-old Neve.

17 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 30, 2015

SPORT

By Tara Murray

Hume City hopes that joining the A-League clubs in the last 32 of the nationwide FFA Cup is just the start of big things to come.

Hume won through with a 2-0 triumph over Kingston City at Broadmeadows Valley Park last Wednesday, both goals coming from �eo Markelis.

Hume and three other NPLV sides – South Melbourne, Oakleigh Cannons and Heidelberg United – the 10 A-League clubs and 18 other state-level clubs from around Australia will go into the draw which will be �nalised this week.

Matches will be shown live on Fox Sports.Hume coach Louie Acevski said it was good

to get through a�er being knocked out at the same stage last year.

Hume joins the big boys“It’s a big achievement and, hopefully, we’re

onto bigger things,” he said. “Everyone was switched on and didn’t want the situation of last year to happen again.

“�ere were plenty of nerves but the boys handled it well, especially in the second half.”

He said the opportunity and coverage of the tournament meant a lot to the NPLV club.

“It is good publicity a�er a lot of hard times over the years,” Acevski said. “We want to be not just a powerful Victorian NPL side, but one of the powerful NPL clubs in Australia.’’

Hume started the better of the two sides on Wednesday, before NPL1 side Kingston hit back.

“We dominated the �rst 10 minutes then Kingston came back at us,” Acevski said. “We scored on the counter attack but Kingston kept pressing … it was good the way the boys reacted.”

Acevski said he emphasised at half-time that his players should not just defend but build on the lead.

“We recti�ed a few basic errors and talked about taking it to them,” he said.

“Once we got the second goal the game was over.

“�e draw will be on Fox Sports on Wednesday and regardless if we get an A-League side or an NPL side we’re going to give it out all.”

�e win also means Hume is into the semi-�nal of the Dockerty Cup to determine the best Victorian team outside the A-League.

“We are one game away from a grand �nal, which is another big achievement and opportunity,” Acevski said.

“We can prove how good we are and hope we can get some silverware by the season’s end.”

Looking at the FFV state league 4 north ladder it would seem that Meadow Park is in a very bad place.

But the Eagles are starting to make inroads.

In the �rst 11 rounds of the season, the Eagles were completely outplayed, scoring a single goal compared with their opposition’s 67.

Since then, the Eagles have drawn two of three matches – including Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Northern United.

While from the outside the position continues to look grim, for the Eagles and coach John Blicharz it’s about the bigger picture.

“�e results do show it has been a poor season,” said Blicharz before the weekend’s match.

“When we started getting the squad together for the �rst and second side, we knew it would be a tough season.

“We tried to get the whole side together from scratch as the players from last season le�.

“Realistically, we do lack experience in both sides. We’ve got to keep taking steps.”

He said the club was looking at a longer-term approach and not just focusing on this year.

Blicharz said the lack of experience meant some younger players were being given an opportunity.

“�ere’s three to four younger ones who are getting signi�cant game time,” he said. “It’s giving them senior experience they might not get at higher clubs.”

He said the club would partly judge its improvement on how the side went against clubs a second time round.

Blicharz said the players “were rapt” with their draw with Northern United but remained aware that relegation was a very real prospect.

“It’s a long process and we are trying to sell it that way,” he said.

“We are moving in the right direction and taking baby steps.

“We thought we were going to get relegated last season but with other teams pulling out we stayed up.

“Whether it happens again this year, we will see.”

Meadow Park �ghts back

Speed, stamina send youngster �yingHugo Garcia has speed to burn – whether it’s the shorter distances or the longer.

A�er making the School Sports Victoria (SSV) state track and �eld championships in the 4x100 metres relay last year, the Gladstone Park School of the Good Shepherd student will compete in SSV’s state cross-country championships next month.

Teacher David Kehagias says it’s the �rst time in his �ve years at the school that a student has made the state schools’ cross-country titles.

And it was even rarer for someone to be so fast over both short and longer distances.

“Hugo started with a time of nine-and-a-half minutes for the two-and-a-half kilometres and

is now down to seven-and-a-half,” Kehagias says. “He has managed to shave two minutes o� his time, which is hard to do for someone at an elite level at that age.

“It’s very rare to have a sprinter who can then run 7.30 for two-and-half-kilometres.”

Hugo is now aiming to make the Victorian state schools’ cross-country team to contest the national �nal.

�is year, on his way to the state �nals, the 10-year-old won the 10-and-under district race, �nished third in his school division and 11th in the region.

“It’d be excellent to make the team,” Hugo told Star Weekly. “I’ve been training hard, three

times a week, running and stretching with the sports teacher. I like cross-country [better than sprinting]. It’s my favourite besides football.”

Kehagias doesn’t think a top seven �nish is beyond Hugo; that would put him in the state team for the nationals. He adds that even the experience of running in the 4x100m relay in the state titles, where Hugo’s team won bronze, will bene�t him. “On race day anything can happen. You never know how he will go, but on times he should �nish in the top 20,” Kehagias says. “He knows what’s going on and the course is the same one that was used at district and regional levels.”

Another challenge, another victory for Craigieburn in Essendon District Football League division 1.

Facing Tullamarine, a side which will be around the mix come �nals time, the Eagles stepped it up another level in the 20.12 (132) - 7.11 (53) win.

It was the 10th win in 10 matches for the Eagles and coach Peter Bugden said he was pleased his boys didn’t switch o� a�er starting the match on �re.

“It was a four-quarter e�ort, which was good against quality opposition,” Bugden said.

“As a coach you de�nitely want four-quarter e�orts against every side.

“We started really well but sometimes we’re guilty of not keeping up the work rate.

“But we put our foot to the �oor against a tough opponent.”

David Courouzou was best on ground for Craigieburn. Nick Fletcher and Garrett Heenan were others to stand out.

Cameron Cloke kicked �ve goals, while Fletcher and Jason Cloke grabbed four each.

�e scary thing for other teams is that the Eagles still have experienced players to return to the side.

“We had no Jeremy Page on Saturday and he is one of the best ruckmen in the competition,” Bugden said.

“Both our vice-captains missed the game as well . . . Christian McErlain is coming back through the reserves a�er a long-term injury.

“Our players can’t a�ord not to play well as there are good players in the under-18s and reserves pushing through.

“We had four under-18s play seniors this week.”

�e win means a top-two spot and a second chance come �nals is almost secured.

�e Eagles are a game and a half ahead of the second-placed Essendon Doutta Stars with a game in hand.

�e two clubs meet this weekend and victory for the Eagles would all but clinch top spot.

�e last time the two teams met, in round 3, the Eagles came from 52 points down to take victory.

“No other team has taken it to us and that’s the challenge,” Bugden said.

“We’re really excited to play next week and don’t want to start like we did last time.

“We’ll hopefully get Jeremy [Page] back and Shannon [Bennett] back too.”

Elsewhere, Westmeadows slipped outside the top four with a loss to Oak Park, the Kangaroos having 28 scoring shots to the Tigers’ 15 in the 12.16 (88) - 9.6 (60) win.

In premier division, Greenvale returned to the winners’ list with a 33-point victory over Avondale Heights.

In division 2, Jacana kept pressure on the top four with a three-point victory over Roxburgh Park.

NPLTheo Markelis has continued his hot form in front of goal for Hume City. After netting two goals for Hume in the FFA Cup clash midweek, Markelis scored the winner for Hume in its National Premier League win over North Geelong Warriors. Markelis scored in the 40th minute as Hume overcame an inef�cient Warriors. In NPL 1, Whittlesea Ranges didn’t make the most of its opportunities against Moreland Zebras, losing 2-0. The Ranges dominated most of the game but couldn’t convert in front of goal.

Big VCraigieburn suffered its second loss of the Big V men’s basketball division 2 season. It was a thriller between the Eagles and Keysborough, with the Cougars winning 59-57. The Eagles were left to rue a poor third quarter in which they scored just seven points, shooting only 15.8 per cent from the �eld for that period. Jonathan Maybank top-scored for the Eagles with 15 points. In women’s division 1, ladder leaders Whittlesea was too good for the Eagles, winning 97-55. Giulia Dinunzio top-scored for the Eagles with 20 points.

AFL under-18sNorthern Knights Jade Gresham continued his hot form in the NAB AFL under-18 championships. Gresham was the best for Vic Metro in his side’s second-last game of the carnival, which it lost to Western Australia 11.6 (72) - 7.12 (54). Effective in general play, Gresham also kicked two goals. Calder Canons Callum Moore and Nick O’Kearney were also among the best for Metro.

FFVSporting Whittlesea has returned to the winners’ list in FFV state league 2 north-west. After drawing and losing its previous two games, Sporting Whittlesea defeated Westvale 1-0. Hume United lost to Moreland United 3-0. In state league 3, north-west La Trobe University beat Up�eld 4-1, Whittlesea United defeated North City Wolves 3-1, and Lalor United lost to Brunswick Zebras 2-1.

Big VHume City Broncos bounced back from a disappointing performance last week to defeat Diamond Valley in the Big V men’s state championship on Saturday night. The Broncos led at every change in the 86-76 win. Jermaine Maybank top-scored with 20 points. The women’s side was at its best in the 95-37 win over Diamond Valley. Every Broncos player got good court time – at least 10 minutes. Colleen Planeta top-scored with 18 points.

VAFAOld Paradians snuck home in a thriller against Monash Gryphons in the Victorian Amateur Football Association’s division 2 competition on Saturday. Leading by nine points at three-quarter time, Old Paradians kicked only one goal in the last quarter but managed to hang on for a 10.13 (73) - 10.10 (70) win. Michael Bellizia and James Kandilakis kicked three goals each for Old Paradians, while Sean Miller was adjudged best a�eld.

Target grows from one win to grand �nal�e pre-season aim for South Morang’s women’s football side in the Victorian Women’s Football League was one win . . . now a grand �nal appearance is not out of the question.

�e Lions are second on the division 4 ladder, having matched it with the top two sides before going down narrowly.

On Sunday, they beat Fitzroy-ACU 7.13 (55) - 1.4 (10).

For coach Maurice Baldasso it has been a season full of good surprises.

“It’s our ��h win of the year and I didn’t think we would win that many.

“�e girls have improved 110 per cent. �ey wanted to win one game this year [a�er not winning at all in the club’s �rst year] and get a chance to sing the song.”

He said the girls’ eagerness to learn and play as a team was behind the rapid improvement.

“�e bond the girls have is the main reason for the success,” he said. “�ey play for each other. �ey’re being realistic about what they want to achieve, and now they want to play �nals.

“�ey’re gaining con�dence and enthusiasm and are getting better and better.”

A�er struggling for numbers in the pre-season, the side now has a full squad to pick from.

Baldasso is hoping more girls will want to share in the club’s success this season.

“�ere are 24 girls who want to win. We have a full squad at training and they’re playing a really good style.

“We recruited a bit of experience before the start of the season – girls who brought more skill and knowledge to the side.

“It’s a good mix.”Baldasso says the girls have also gained

con�dence from seeing players such as Cassie Hurst gaining personal recognition. Earlier this year, Hurst was named in the VWFL All-Stars squad which played an Australian Defence Force all-star team.

“She’s great as one of our leaders, one of our co-captains,” Baldasso said.

“Her enthusiasm and professionalism is a stand-out. �e girls li� when she’s around.”

As for the rest of the season, Baldasso thinks anything is possible.

“I reckon we’re a chance to play in the grand �nal.

“It’s out of four teams and we lost by just under 10 points in the two losses [against other top teams] and we didn’t have a full squad in either game.”

Whittlesea Pacers have their eyes on top spot in Big V basketball women’s division 1 competition.

With four games le� the Pacers are on top of the ladder with only two losses, both at the hands of third-placed Geelong.

Pacers coach Shannon Bodley said the game against Camberwell in a couple of weeks would probably decide who �nishes on top.

“�e aim is to �nish on top, to have a week o� and home-court advantage,” he said.

“We play Camberwell as part of a double-header and if we beat them that’ll be massive towards getting top spot.”

Bodley is mostly happy with how the team’s season has played out.

“[I’m] very happy with four games to go,” he said before the win over Craigieburn Eagles at the weekend.

“Both our losses have come against Geelong, which is one thing I’m not happy about. �ey match up very well against us and have plenty of height.

“I’ve said all season that they’re the team to beat and I still think that.”

Despite the Pacers’ track record against Geelong Bodley isn’t shying away from playing them in �nals.

“We’ll need to bring our A-grade when we play them,” he said.

“I’ve been trying to �gure who will �nish where. But you have to beat the best to be the best and it means beating Geelong whenever we play them.

“We have to come switched on, no matter who we play,” Bodley said. “We found that out against Hawthorn, who has only won two matches for the year, but was within two points of us in the third quarter [two weekends ago].

“We have to play 40 minutes of basketball. We can’t have lapses.”

�e Pacers continued to bounce back from a couple of di�cult matches to easily defeat Craigieburn on Saturday, 97-55.

Bodley said the side was �t heading into the home straight.

“We don’t have injuries at the moment. Kimetria [Hayden] missed a couple of games with a sore heel, but it showed we are more than a one-man team.

“We’re about to ramp up training for the last three weeks, getting ready for �nals. �ere are no excuses.”

�e men’s side split its weekend double in the state championship. �e Pacers beat Sherbrooke on Saturday but was thrashed by Waverley on Sunday.

Early blitz stuns BearsBy Tara Murray

All it took was a 20-minute opening blast from Hurstbridge for �omastown to su�er a second successive loss.

�e Bears were on the back foot a�er conceding the �rst seven goals in the Northern Football League division 2 match and although they won the next three quarters, they were beaten 17.15 (117) - 13.7 (85).

Bears coach Dean Sinclair said it was di�cult to play catch-up football a�er such a poor start.

“We had a pretty bad start but a�er quarter-time we were competitive,” he said.

“�ey came out �ring and caught us on the back foot and it was hard to catch up.

“I said to the boys at quarter-time that they had to dig deep and show character and try to get what advantage we could.

“We took small steps toward closing the margin but it was just too big at three-quarter time.”

Sinclair said it wasn’t all bad for the Bears.“I stressed to the guys that while the �rst

20 minutes was disappointing, we could have been blown away,” he said.

“It’s just about trying to keep positive and what we have done so far [this season] is exceptional.”

Sinclair said Joseph Vaccaro did a good run-with job on [star mid�elder] Blair Harvey, while Lukas Fellows and Matthew Ferraro were also good in the loss.

�e Bears have been injury-riddled in recent weeks, but Sinclair said that was not an excuse.

“When you have two or three players out you can cope,” he said.

“When you have the top rung out, your leaders, it does start to hurt. Our two captains, Anthony Fazzari and Jason Abela, will be back in the next few weeks and we’ll get Jacob Osei-Duro, the leading goalkicker from last year, back as well.

“[But] it gives other guys a taste of senior football with them out, which is a positive for the club.”

�e loss sees the Bears slip to second behind Hurstbridge on percentage. �e club’s success has encouraged Sinclair to aim higher than his pre-season expectations.

“To just play one �nal and get a taste for it, is an amazing e�ort for the club this year.”

Whittlesea is in fourth spot a�er beating Lalor 15.11 (101) - 13.9 (87), just two points from the top two.

Mernda wasn’t able to make it two in a row, losing to Panton Hill.

In division 1, Bundoora lost 15.9 (99) - 11.10 (76) against ladder leader Greensborough.

‘‘ They came out �ring and caught us on the back foot ’’ - Dean Sinclair

Jacana Cricket Club is determined to use last season’s senior premiership, its �rst in 42 years, to propel it to greater Victorian Turf Cricket Association glory.

First step in preparation for the forthcoming season is settling on coaches for the club’s senior and junior sides.

Club secretary Sharron Kelly-Campbell said the coaching appointments would be a continuation of a rebirth process and the club’s strong emphasis on its juniors.

“Last season it was a new committee and most of the committee is back on board,” she said.

Kelly-Campbell said the club was unsure if last season’s coach and VTCA north B1 best and fairest winner, Praneeth Jayasundera, would continue playing and that it would be remiss of the club not to see who was out there.

On top of the uncertainty surrounding the return of Jayasundera, some of the premiership players are considering retirement.

�at has prompted the club to hold o� on its decision as whether it will accept promotion into the VTCA’s north A1 division from north B1.

“We are absolutely eligible to go into A-grade and we are nervous about that,” Kelly-Campbell said.

“We are looking for more players to try and make sure that happens.

She said the option of not “going up” was on the table.

“�e desirable outcome is to play in A grade, but we don’t want that to be detrimental for the whole club,” she said.

“Our twos struggled last season and we struggled for numbers in the threes.”

Meanwhile, Craigieburn has appointed Ian Blanchett as coach for the 2015-16 north A1 season.

Craigieburn �nished sixth last season, less than two points outside the �nals.

Blanchett has spent the past three seasons as coach of Airport St Christopher’s in the VTCA senior division. He has previously coached at Doutta Stars and Keilor Park and has played county cricket in England.
