MY TOWN
When sunset spills across Wyndham skies this Saturday, a large band of merry marchers
will just be gearing up for a long night .While the wee small hours are well
known to shi� workers, hardcore clubbers and new parents, for one night of the year they’re joined by a new species of night owl … the Relay for Lifer.
� e Relay for Lifer doesn’t frequent a factory � oor, pace a nursery or enjoy doof-doof music. He or she will spend the graveyard shi� turning laps on a candlelit running track in Hoppers Crossing.
� e Relay for Lifer will walk until their feet hurt and back aches, only then stopping at a gaud y tent to hand over their baton to a colleague .
As they walk they will pass the corkboard-mounted memorials that tell the stories of those on a journey to survive cancer, or that comemmorate those who have sadly succumbed.
You see, while the Relay for Lifer is having a great time with great people, thoughts of their loved ones are never far away. � is is what keeps them coming back each year for that one special night when hundreds gather to celebrate, remember and � ght back.
Wyndham Relay for Life is on this weekend at the Victoria University Athletics Track. \

vcat ruling raises ‘no appeal’ FEARSPLANNING
Community groups fear they will lose the right to appeal against planning permits a� er the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal excluded Western Region Environment Centre from a hearing on the expansion of a Wyndham tip.
VCAT last week ruled that WREC had no standing in the case because it was not directly a� ected by the council’s application to change a planning permit it had issued itself for the Wests Road land� ll.
� e council applied to VCAT to change or cancel amendments made to the permit in 2010 and 2012, which allowed the land� ll to be built to 65 metres and then 120 metres above ground. � e council wants to change the permit because it had been found that
the amendments had not been properly advertised and were unnecessary because the original permit did not specify a height.
WREC applied to be part of the hearing so it could represent the concerns of residents who want the tip lowered to ground level.
Centre director Harry van Moorst said the decision to “strike out” WREC could have implications for other community groups .
“It has implications for any attempt to appeal against a planning permit a council has signed o� on,” he said.
“If a community or church group wanted to protest against a gambling hall or brothel they could be excluded unless they are directly a� ected .”
A spokesman for Stop � e Tip, a community group set up to � ght the proposed expansion of Deer Park’s Boral land� ll, said there were grounds for concern about the
ruling.“Stop � e Tip believes that the
community’s voice must always be heard, whether by councils, VCAT or the state government,’’ the spokesman said. ‘‘To ignore the views of residents would be
completely unacceptable.”But Monash University property
law expert Pamela O’Connor said VCAT usually only allowed parties to be added to a hearing if it felt they would be a� ected by the proceeding or would be bound by, or have the bene� t of, an order made by the tribunal. \

Visitors strolling through the gardens at Werribee Park are less likely to be hit by a pine cone falling from a tree a� er a Parks Victoria harvesting e� ort.
Senior horticulturist Adam Smith and crew members See Mee and Pan Soe (pictured) boarded a cherry picker to remove cones from the park’s 12 bunya pine trees. � e cones can weigh up to 12 kilograms.
“Unlike a lot of other pine cones these fall to ground intact, and being around the size of a pineapple they can do quite a lot of damage if they land on someone’s head,” Mr Smith said.
“� ese Jurassic-looking heritage trees are very old and huge, so we needed to go about 45 metres vertically upwards to collect around 100 cones. � e biggest challenge for us was how to remove them safely in windy conditions at such a great height.”
Sta� harvest the huge cones every two years. \ LL

EDUCATION
Students from Point Cook Senior , � e Grange and Bayside P-12 colleges can train to be diesel mechanics while still at school a� er a Laverton company donated two diesel engines to a new trades training centre .
International diesel engine-maker Cummins donated the engines – one of which is a fully operational training module – as part of its training partnership with the schools.
� e company is also o� ering work experience and school-based apprenticeships .
� e program, brokered by the Wyn Bay Local Learning and Employment Network, will provide year 10 students with one week of work experience at Cummins, while year 11 students will take part in a structured workplace learning program.
Year 12 students will be able to do an apprenticeship at Cummins while � nishing school studies.
Current apprentices will visit the schools to talk to students about their experiences
as diesel mechanics. Apprentice program manager Kate Evans said Cummins hoped the donation of the engines would encourage more students to become diesel mechanics.
“Our aim is in� uence the career pathways of students and recruit some of them directly to Cummins’ apprentice program,” she said.
“� e new trade training centre at Point Cook provides the ideal opportunity for [current apprentices] to connect with students in a training environment.’’
Point Cook Secondary principal Greg Sperling said he hoped the program would encourage more students to � nish year 12.
“We � nd with other vocational education and training studies that kids o� en need a hook to stay at school,’’ he said.
“If we get kids into the course in year 10, they can complete a certi� cate II in year 11 and still do a full VCE load in year 12.” \

little hollywood a vision for wyndham’s futurePOINT COOK
A Point Cook � lmmaker wants to make Wyndham a mini-Hollywood, creating diverse jobs especially for youth.
Tony Hooper , of � orium Films, said the municipality could copy the example of New Orleans, where a� er Hurricane Katrina � lmmakers created a new industry that now rivals the movie capital in Los Angeles.
He said changes in technology and their a� ordability meant independent � lmmakers could create movies that were once the domain of established studios.
“It is this independent � lm production capability that gives Wyndham an opportunity to increase its economic activity, especially in light of the digital age and the region’s proximity to Melbourne , Avalon [airport] and beyond,” Mr Hooper said.
He said encouraging � lmmakers to set up in the western suburbs through government seed grants would help local youth � nd career paths.
Mr Hooper said trainees or apprentices hired to build � lm sets could learn the skill
of carpentry; costume designers and makers could go into the fashion world; � lm-set caterers could move into mainstream
catering; and electrical technicians could apply skills to ordinary projects.
Wyndham has already been used as a location in several � lms, including Ghost Rider in 2007 and
Where the Wild � ings Are in 2009.Mr Hooper said Point Cook’s air
force base had one of only three horizon water tanks in the world. � e tank, next to the sea, lets � lmmakers shoot an ocean horizon
without having to be in the middle of the sea. He said it was used in television productions of Moby Dick and Noah’s Ark .
Mr Hooper’s vision is supported by Open Channel, Victoria’s leading independent � lm training centre, which has a mobile training unit.
“I’m happy to voice my support for the vision, for the development of a sustainable � lm industry in the Wyndham region, and the cultural, social and economic bene� ts that such an industry can bring ,” said Open Channel spokesman Daniel Schultheis . \

standstill kicks off traffic campaign
WERRIBEE
Motorists heading to Werribee for last � ursday night’s launch of Wyndham council’s congestion campaign were given � rst-hand insight into the city’s tra� c problems .
Shortly a� er 5pm, outbound tra� c on the Princes Freeway came to a standstill following an accident near the Forsyth Road exit. Drivers faced delays of up to an hour as tra� c banked up towards the Western Ring Road.
Among those caught up was comedian Dave Hughes, who was heading to the Wyndham Civic Centre to host the Get Wyndham Moving campaign launch.
When Hughes � nally arrived in Werribee, two hours a� er leaving Melbourne’s CBD, he said he was angry on behalf of Wyndham residents .
“� ere is no � ow on that road. Irony is being stuck in a tra� c jam thinking you are going to miss a gig about tra� c jams. ”
Mayor Bob Fairclough said the accident highlighted the need for a second river crossing from the west.
“Our reliance on the West Gate Bridge as the only access point is a huge risk for Wyndham and Victoria,” he said.
“If the West Gate is shut for any reason, tra� c grinds to a halt.”
As reported by the Weekly, a 2012 “cost closure analysis”, by MacroPlan Dimasi, found that the West Gate Freeway was becoming “a major risk to the operations of the entire metropolitan area”.
� e analysis found that if the bridge were to close for one year, the state economy would lose $8 billion .
� e council is running a two-year, $2 million transport campaign, with Cr Fairclough calling on residents to let the state and federal governments know they had had enough of travelling on congested roads and overcrowded trains. \ LL

wyndham commuters in for a long waitROADS
Relief for motorists caught in tra� c jams on Wyndham’s most congested roads could be years away a� er VicRoads backed o� from modelling that recommended the roads be duplicated by 2016.
Transport Department modelling from 2011 slated Forsyth, Derrimut, Dohertys, Heaths, Palmers and Point Cook roads for duplication in the next two years.
� e modelling also recommended that Leakes Road be duplicated in 2021, with Sayers and Tarneit roads to follow in 2031.
But VicRoads last week backed away from
the modelling, which was tabled at a hearing into the east-west link, saying it was only a guideline of when work should be done and not a commitment to the projects going ahead.
A 2013 Wyndham council tra� c volumes report found that Forsyth, Point Cook, Derrimut, Palmers and Heaths roads were all carrying more than 20,000 vehicles a day. An arterial road is considered over capacity if it is used by more than 18,000 vehicles a day.
Wyndham mayor Bob Fairclough said the roads outlined in VicRoads’ modelling
needed immediate funding. “� is modelling is deeply concerning, given Wyndham’s rapid population growth and a recent council
report � nding that tra� c on roads in Tarneit and Truganina has increased
by 17 per cent in the past 12 months,” he said.
VicRoads regional director Patricia Liew said the 2011 modelling was being re� ned.
She said the updated modelling would make recommendations based
on growth pressures and was expected to be completed by the middle of the year. \

LAVERTON NORTH
In 1995, Barry Harvey was shown VicRoads designs for an upgrade to Dohertys Road in Laverton North. Nineteen years later, he is still waiting for work to begin.
Mr Harvey – who is chairman of lobby group LeadWest and former chairman of the Wyndham Industrial Liaison Development Committee (WILD) – said money was available for the project at the time, but it was used to pay for work on the Western Ring Road .
He said it was disheartening that Dohertys Road had yet to be duplicated.
“We were told Dohertys Road would be put up for funding the next year, but it was never funded ,” he said.
“It’s a hell of a bit of road. Over the years, there have been a couple of deaths there and a lot of accidents.”
Last year, Wyndham council and Laverton North businesses launched a campaign for the duplication of Dohertys Road between Fitzgerald Road and Grieve Parade.
WILD chairman Mick O’Donnell said Dohertys Road was a rural road from the 1960s that could no longer cope with the volume of truck tra� c that used it daily.
‘hell’ of a wait on dohertys
BARRY HARVEY
Laverton North is home to a third of Wyndham’s businesses, with more than 30,000 people working in the area.
VicRoads regional director Patricia Liew
said a business case for the duplication had been prepared.
She said the project would be considered for future funding. \ LL

■ If only someone had the foresight to plan for multi-level parking for Williams Landing train station.
I understand that there is a budget, but insuf� cient parking will deter people from using the trains into the city. That will make building the station and trying to ease traf� c woes a wasted effort.STEVIE Y \ VIA WEB
RAIL PLAN SLAMMED(Weekly, March 19)
■ I may be cynical, but having lived in Werribee all my life , I have come to one conclusion. We get very little done because we are a safe Labor seat.
T he Coalition will do nothing, because it can’t win the seat. Labor won’t do anything because it is basically guaranteed the seat . Labor complains about the Coalition not doing much , yet when it was in for the 10 years before that, it did very little in the way of public
transport either. Both parties have had ample time and opportunity to � x public transport in one of the fastest-growing municipalities, yet not much has happened.
They both still let land developers develop estates and not lay road infrastructure � rst.
You have four or � ve companies developing and selling sections of land on their own schedule, building roads as needed and, at times, no connection between them until � nal land parcels are sold.
By the time the estates are complete, everyone has two cars and no need for the buses that usually come in late because of this.
Both sides love to play the blame game, when they themselves could have done more.CHRIS \ VIA WEB

My shoutThere is a misguided campaign to cap council rates to the rate of in� ation. This would be a disaster for our communities, especially when state and federal governments are cutting social services because they’re too gutless to increase taxes. Councils need to set their rates based on community needs. We can’t, on one hand, demand rate rises be limited to CPI while expecting councils to continue to maintain infrastructure and provide social services .
So-called “greedy” councils have had to take over community services from Spring Street, while accounting for the state government’s hefty land� ll tax, and ensuring they can cover entitlements of all council employees. Setting rates needs a horses-for-courses approach, particularly for those councils with few alternative revenue streams. Restricting council budgets and rates will increase Melbourne’s social divide. \

truganina man arrested in crime syndicate raidsCOURT
A Truganina man will face court in July following police raids across the northern and western suburbs .
As reported by the Weekly, the raids were carried out by more than 700 police and targeted a major crime syndicate.
Ziad Haddara , 39, faces � ve charges, including drug tra� cking. He was arrested during a pre-dawn raid on his house on March 18.
Haddara faced Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday, when he was remanded in custody.
Police also arrested Haddara’s cousin, Fadi Haddara , 36, of Altona North.
He was arrested at a smash repairs businesses in Orange Avenue, Williamstown North.
He faces 17 charges relating to drugs, violence and weapons o� ences and will also face the Melbourne Magistrates Court in July.
Twenty-seven people were arrested
during the raids. Five have been released and are expected to be charged on summons, while three have been cautioned and three others released pending further inquiries.
Five men will face Melbourne Magistrates Court in July.
Warrants for the raids were issued following an investigation by the Santiago taskforce, which was set up in October 2008 to
address serious and organised crime, including shooting incidents
involving a number of families and their associates.
More than 35,000 tobacco plants and an assault weapon were seized in the raids, which police said disrupted the workings of the gang.
Drugs, including 100 kilograms of cannabis, and $55,000 cash, ammunition, vehicles and stolen property were also con� scated.
Police were supported by the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Taxation O� ce and customs o� cers. \

� e Grovedale baby (pictured) has the honour of being the � rst baby born through Melbourne IVF’s Werribee clinic, which opened at Wyndham Private Medical Centre in Hoppers Lane last year. Cohen’s mother Misty said the Werribee centre meant couples could achieve their dream of having a family
without having to travel to Melbourne for treatment. “Having all your consultations and procedures at the one location will ease the emotional burden couples experience when undertaking IVF.” Fertility specialist Dr Chandrika Parmaro said the clinic had already seen an increase in patients, with more people in the western suburbs choosing to start their families later in life. \ LL

BRIEFSdog attack prompts plea: keep pets under controlPOINT COOK
An elderly Point Cook woman who was attacked by a wandering dog wants owners to ensure their pets can’t escape from their property.
Mia Legenhausen , 73, was attacked by a large dog while walking her daughter’s schnoodle, Voosha , along Palmers Avenue, Point Cook, about 2pm on March 17.
Mrs Legenhausen said the dog initially tried to play with Voosha. But when the schnoodle wouldn’t join in the fun, it clamped her body in its mouth.
Fearing that Voosha would be killed, Mrs Legenhausen tried to pull the dog o� .
� e dog then bit the middle � nger on Mrs Legenhausen’s right hand, leaving her with a deep wound.
Passersby came to Mrs Legenhausen and Voosha’s rescue, with a neighbour taking them into her house while others caught the other dog and took it to a vet.
Voosha, who was cut and bruised, also
received treatment. “It was a nightmare . I will never forget the look in Voosha’s eyes,” Mrs Legenhausen said.
“She was really, really scared, like she knew she was going to die.”
Mrs Legenhausen said the incident had le� her “a bit scared”, but she was more concerned about what could have happened
if her grandchildren, aged six and eight, had been walking Voosha.
Mrs Legenhausen reported the attack to Wyndham council .
“It was a beautiful dog but it was very dangerous and I wouldn’t like it to escape again.
I don’t want to see the dog put down.
“I would like dog owners to make sure their dogs can’t get out, and to keep them on a lead when walking them.”
Council chief executive Kerry � ompson said the attack was being investigated. \

The visit, organised by City West Water, brought together migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East as part of Cultural Diversity Week. “Not only is it a fantastic opportunity for the communities to celebrate their cultural differences, it’s also a great way for service providers and government agencies to break down barriers and build relationships with the local community,” City West Water managing director Anne Barker says. \ LL

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living in Wyndham and Hobsons Bay are being urged to increase their life expectancy by improving their health and well-being. South Western Melbourne Medicare Local held a “Close the Gap” event at Laverton Community Hub last Friday, aimed at reducing indigenous disadvantage in life expectancy and child mortality, and improving chronic disease prevention. The event included a smoking ceremony, a performance by Yamba Konrad Ross (pictured with mayor Bob Fairclough ) and updates on the programs being run to close the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous life expectancy. Aboriginal health care co-ordinator Alex Rojas said there were more than 1500 people living in Wyndham and Hobsons Bay who identi� ed as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. \ LL

we don’t want to wait: loop commutersPUBLIC TRANSPORT
More than 150 commuters at a community meeting in Altona have called for partial duplication of the Werribee line through non-residential areas to improve the “worst train service in Melbourne”.
Last week’s meeting was called by the Altona Loop Group, representing users of Seaholme, Altona and Westona stations, which dot the single track loop on the Werribee line.
Group spokeswoman Jennifer Williams asked for a show of hands from people who had changed their travel patterns since the timetable changed in 2011. � e room was a sea of hands.
� e Werribee line, which splits at Newport, received extra services in 2011 with trains timetabled to run every 10-12 minutes.
However, Altona loop commuters had peak-hour trains cut to one every 22 minutes and became the only people in Melbourne who had to change trains up to three times to access the City Loop.
Altona loop passengers su� ered the most bypasses when there were problems on other sections of the Werribee or other lines.
Ms Williams said that residents did not want to wait 20 years for the duplication of the Altona loop track, which is the timeframe that Public Transport Victoria has advised.
She said commuters could not wait two years until the Regional Rail Link was built.
“We have the dubious honour of being the most dissatis� ed customers in Melbourne, having the biggest drop-o� in patronage across the loop stations. If a business lost 30 per cent of its customers you’d investigate reasons for the decline.”
Melbourne University public transport expert John Stone said it was “misleading” that there could be no improvements until 2016. Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder and PTV did not attend the forum.
Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury told the Weekly he would ask Mr Mulder about the possibility of track duplication but wanted to “see the numbers”.
As he prepared to catch the train from Altona to Hoppers Crossing a� er the meeting, Mr Elsbury said there was a lot of work to be done by Metro at Altona. \

brother to stand trialCOURTS
A Catholic Brother accused of sexually abusing four children at Altona and Altona North has been committed to stand trial in the Melbourne County Court on April 20, 2015.
Bernard Joseph Hartman, 74, has entered pleas of not guilty for 16 sexual assault and two assault charges. He has been charged with 14 counts of indecent assault and two counts of gross indecency with a girl under 16.
Taskforce Sano detectives allege the o� ences happened at St Paul’s College at Altona North and in Altona homes between 1976 and 1982. It is not known if there will be one trial or separate trials.
Witness statements tendered to the Melbourne Magistrates Court, which were obtained by the Weekly on Wednesday, are from two males and two females, now in their mid-to-late 40s.
One man, 48, stated that Hartman was his biology teacher at St Paul’s in 1981 when he was in year 10. � e witness turned 16 in June that year.
He described Hartman as “a Jekyll and Hyde-type of person” and said that the
abuse “happened all of the time”. “I have no doubt that Brother Hartman
used to enjoy hitting me as well as sexually abusing me . A� er more than 30 years I am still su� ering. My innocence has been taken by a man of God, Brother Hartman. ”
Another witness, also 48, had Hartman as his biology teacher in years 9 and 10 at the same college.
� e witness said that when he repelled Hartman a� er being sexually
assaulted, he was threatened with expulsion and Hartman said no one would believe him.
“I said yes they will because I have never lied to my parents and
Hartman would have a scandal on his hands when they belted him.
“I just shut this out of my mind until I saw � e Age about 12 months ago with an article on the front page about … Brother Hartman … When I saw the photo my blood went cold.”
A female witness, 49, allege d that Hartman sexually assaulted her from the ages of eight to 11.
Another female witness, 45, alleged that she was � ve or six when Hartman � rst sexually assaulted her. \

SCHOLARSHIPS A rare double honour has come to the western suburbs, with two members of Footscray City Rowing Club awarded Rhodes Scholarships.
Werribee doctor Jenny Tran and Kristijan Jovanovski have been awarded two of only nine scholarships that are granted in Australia each year for undertaking post-graduate studies at Oxford University. Ms Tran, a doctor at Werribee Mercy Hospital, was director of REACH (Realising Education and Access to Collaborative Health), which was
Australia’s � rst student-run clinic project to deliver free community health care.
Mr Jovanovski, a neuroscience researcher, founded the Melbourne University Health Initiative, a charity running a preventive medicine campaign in Kenya, outreach programs for asylum seekers and disadvantaged high school students, and supplying hospitals in developing countries with medical materials. Previous Rhodes scholars include prime ministers Tony Abbott and Bob Hawke. \

swiss trip a step to dreamsHOPPERS CROSSING
Cambridge Tennis Club’s Fraser Richmond has always dreamed of securing a college scholarship to play tennis in America.
Last month, the � omas Carr College year 10 student (pictured) swapped the local tennis club’s courts behind Werribee Plaza for one-on-one lessons at an elite Swiss academy in the hope of taking a step towards his dream.
Fraser, 15, spent two weeks at Tennis Academy Zurich perfecting his game.
Each day he was put through his paces by some of the sport’s top coaches, taking part in gym sessions, drills and sprints around ovals despite freezing temperatures.
“It was intense,” Fraser says. “I trained every day for two weeks, but it was a great academy and I had a great coach.”
Fraser, who started playing tennis at age 4, doesn’t know why he took up the game .
“My family are very sporty. My cousin played college basketball, but no one ever played tennis,” he says.
“I love that tennis is an individual sport and that you have got to rely on yourself not to mess up.”
With college applications more than 12 months away, Fraser is focusing his attention
on playing juniors and pennant tennis for Cambridge and coaching younger players.
“I train every day for at least two hours ,” he says. “It’s still a year before I can apply, so I will just give it my best and see if I’ve got what it takes.’’ \

Altona Meadows
Children at Queen of Peace Primary School in Altona Meadows are growing vegetables in their school’s garden to donate to local charities and soup vans.
Teacher Annette Gauci said the garden was established to help the less privileged in Melbourne’s western suburbs.
“For over 12 months, we’ve been donating vegetables grown in our garden, such as pumpkin, spinach, beetroot and potatoes, to the Matthew Talbot Soup Van run by St Vincent de Paul [Society] in Maidstone,” she said.
“� is year, the Queen of Peace parish has also become involved by organising vegetables grown by the school children to be donated to the Laverton Hub.
“Tomatoes, beans and zucchini were greatly appreciated and used to prepare meals.
“Last year, the preps helped during their play-based curriculum time.
‘‘A� er reading Jack and the Beanstalk, children enjoyed planting zucchini, beans
and cucumber seeds, watching them grow in amazement.”
Ms Gauci said the children watered the garden each day during their lunch breaks.
“Monitors also collect classroom fruit scraps to compost each day and enrich the
soil,” she said. “� is has been the secret to our bumper crop of vegies, especially zucchini.”
‘‘Sustainability is a big focus at Queen of Peace, so this year, we have two school leaders whose job
is sustainability .“A water tank was also donated
by a former year-6 student who won an illustration competition through the City of Melbourne – an Urban Forest of the Future competition.
“� e garden has helped our social justice program, as children can take an active role in helping others in need.’’ \

Wyndham Vale’s Ellinor Svoronos will aim to raise money to help children battling cancer when she lines up with cancer survivors of all
ages this Saturday.Ellinor, 9, will take part in Wyndham Relay for Life
survivors’ walk after beating a rare form of cancer.She was diagnosed with cancer aged five, after doctors
noticed that her white blood cells were eating away at her bones. They discovered lesions the size of lemons three millimetres from Ellinor’s spine and the main artery leading to her brain.
With the cancer eroding her skull, Ellinor began chemotherapy immediately and was placed in a neck brace.
Doctors regularly scanned her skull and spine to monitor the cancer’s progress, until one day a couple of years ago they noticed that her bones were regenerating and covering the gap in her skull.
Her mother Belinda Svoronos says the family never imagined Ellinor would one day be given the all-clear.
Svoronos says Ellinor’s cancer was so rare that doctors initially struggled to diagnose it. She had to stay in hospital for four weeks while tests were carried out.
“When you are going through it, you don’t want to think too far ahead,’’ Svoronos says. ‘‘You just try and not fall apart.
“The cancer doesn’t usually happen in the skull. The doctors didn’t even know what to expect. They said they would probably never see another child with it in their career.”
Svoronos says the family wants to help other families of children with cancer.
“We were lost for so long trying to find out what was
wrong with her. If we can get word out there, to say that you can ask for further tests or you can say that you are not feeling OK, then maybe we can help someone else. By sharing our experience, we want to make someone else’s journey easier.”
Wyndham’s annual Relay for Life, which raises
funds for the Cancer Council, starts at noon this Saturday at Victoria University’s athletics track in Hoppers Lane, Werribee. \

Ali MCGregor’s Late-Nite Variety-Nite Night
“It’s kind of like a second home for me now,” says Ali McGregor, touching on the unique and intimate Famous Spiegeltent venue that has become synonymous with her cult comedy festival show Ali McGregor’s Late-Nite
Variety-Nite Night.� e Famous Spiegeltent became a � xture outside
Melbourne’s Arts Centre, but this year it’s shi� ed a few hundred metres up the road to Federation Square where McGregor hopes it will prove just as popular.
For the uninitiated, a spiegeltent is a large travelling tent decorated with mirrors . � ese gained popularity as entertainment venues in the early 20th century.
� e Famous Spiegeltent, which dates back to 1920, is one of the few remaining of its kind and has played host to some of the world’s best musicians, cabaret artists, and burlesque performers.
“I just can’t wait to get back in there,” McGregor says. “� ere’s going to be a little bit of a hub there [Federation Square]. It’s so central. I’m really excited as it’s going to be a brand new meeting spot.”
Blessed with a booming voice, McGregor forged a career as a successful opera singer before dri� ing into the world of cabaret and � nding its intimacy and creative freedom refreshing.
Her variety show, Ali McGregor’s Late-Nite Variety-Nite Night, debuted at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2007, the early venues including the Athenaeum � eatre and a small tent down by the Yarra before a permanent home was found in � e Famous Spiegeltent.
McGregor never dreamed the show would last this long but is now determined to keep it chugging along until she chalks up ten seasons. � e concept has been tweaked over the years, but the core elements remain. McGregor sings throughout the show and hosts acts from the genres of comedy, cabaret, burlesque, and circus. Each act is hand-picked and booked by the performer herself and re� ects her personal tastes, with comedians she believes will suit the format.
“� e show is known for spontaneous things that go on between guests,” McGregor says. “We’ve had random duets and fun things that have kind of just happened. Tim Minchin rocked up one night and then he and I started belting out jazz standards o� the cu� . We had Adam Hills taking his leg o� and doing a trick for Asher Treleaven. He was actually naked at the time with only a ping pong bat covering his manhood.
“� ere’s been lots of instances like that where I lose control of what’s going on and all sorts of things seem to happen in front of me. But it always makes for a very entertaining evening.”
McGregor suggests that sticking to the trusty variety ‘night’ format, particularly a rapid turnover of guests, helps the show cater to any audience.
“Variety is brilliant for the fact that if you don’t like the person who’s on stage you just have to wait 10 minutes and someone else will be out. You’re never stuck in a room with an act you don’t like for very long.”
Past guests have included Danny Bhoy, Eddie Perfect, Julia Zemiro, � e Pajama Men, Tripod, and Wil Anderson. “All the old favourites will no doubt be back and we’ve got a good smattering of internationals. We do really get the best of the best,” McGregor spruiks.
“� ere’s a few people who absolutely kill it when they come on our show. Felicity Ward is one of them. We gave her her very � rst stand-up gig and now she’s doing incredibly well.”
Away from the stage, McGregor is married to comedian Adam Hills, the romance blossoming a� er she appeared as a guest on the original version of music trivia show Spicks and Specks several years ago. � e couple live in Yarraville with their two young daughters but spend about six months of the year in the UK while Hills � lms his talk show � e Last Leg.
Asked about the potential drawbacks of juggling family life and the work commitments of two entertainers, McGregor says there’s never been an issue.
“We still have to put the rubbish out and do everything normal,” she says.
“It has its problems, but I don’t think it’s any more problematic than anyone else trying to deal with work and raising a family.
“In some ways it’s kind of easier. I’m not doing a nine to � ve. I have the bulk of the day with my girls and all it takes is a babysitter at night [for me] to perform in the evenings, so I don’t actually miss out on that much of them.”
McGregor has taken her variety-night alternative on the road and has performed several times at the famed Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Her target audience tends to be slightly older and a little bit classier than that at many other comedy shows.
“ I book my acts accordingly. With this show you see a little bit of just a few acts and that might lead you to want to go and see those four or � ve shows in the festival. It’s a gateway drug to the rest of the festival.” \
» Ali McGregor is at � e Famous Spiegeltent, Federation Square, from April 10-20.

Occasionally I get a product I want to buy. The last was an umbrella that stands up to high winds. Before that, in 2004, it was some noise-cancelling headphones.
Even so, I’d been looking forward to getting a Bose SoundTouch 30. I’d used it at its launch and in the shops, but home is the acid test.
And at home something quite unprecedented happened.
My non-technical, only just iPhone-literate wife played with it for 30 minutes and told me we have to get one. She’s even figured out where it will go.
I’m not arguing. SoundTouch is neat. It’s a high-quality speaker system that hooks into your home wireless network and streams music from your phone, your tablet and your computer. Nothing new there. But it also has software built in to get internet radio and Pandora, and Bose says other music libraries are on the way.
We’re big fans of Pandora, a predictive music library that takes your musical preferences and serves up the stuff you like, along with stuff it figures you’ll like. It guesses correctly most of the time, so you have a continuous stream of new and interesting music.
What makes Pandora-through-SoundTouch so
compelling is convenience. There are six preset buttons on top and all you do is press one. This starts it,
hooks it into whatever the preset is tuned for (one of your Pandora stations, an internet radio, the music on your phone) and starts playing.
It’s so simple, fast and convenient, and it sounds so good that you tend to use it all the time, so the house is always full of music. When you’ve finished coffee and can’t put off housework any longer, changing from background music to Johnny Cash takes one button press.
It goes so loud, without distortion, you can hear Mr Cash over the vacuum cleaner, important when he is integral to housework (I’ve found Elvis Costello also works well, as do the Doobie Brothers and Gypsy & the Cat).
Quirks and shortcomings: the set-up, although easy, can take 30 minutes; start-up station loading often seemed to jam, which may be a firewall issue (flipping between presets got it going). Track information, shown at the start of the track only, is fleeting.
The sound quality, while bass-oriented, is excellent.Add extra SoundTouch units and you get music
wherever they are placed, too, with the same or different programs.
The only problem I face now is the $899 involved, although there are a couple of cheaper offerings – a portable and the smaller SoundTouch 20 are both $549. \

THE LooK
Get your feet dancing with this bright selection of socks by
new label Barnaby. Inspired by geometry, architecture
and polka dots, they’re fun, versatile and perfect for the
guy who wants to stand out – even if only a little.
www.barnabyshop.com
Men’s socks take a fashionable turn with the arrival of Barnaby – a start-up company launched by three friends who saw a future in
the men’s accessory market.Launched by former management consultant
colleagues Shay Namdarian, Andrei Maior and David Tay (all aged 28) – the lads saw a niche for colour where you least expect it.
Inspired by graphic design and architecture, the socks are bright, playful and meant to be noticed. What’s more, they’ve partnered with YGAP (Y-Generation Against Poverty) to help raise money for the charity every time a pair of these specially designed socks is bought from their collection.
“YGAP is a watch-this-space organisation,” says Tay.“We love their innovative ideas. They are cool. We
know funding donated will be used to make a dent on social well-being, whether it be from economic hardship internationally, locally or environmentally.”
Maior says the trio thought that if people needed a reason to wear colorful socks, supporting a charity was a pretty good one.
They decided to launch into the fashion market last year to tap into their creative side. Namdarian says that colourful socks are huge in Europe and, although it has taken local audiences a little longer to connect with the idea, change is happening.
“We wear socks every day and, with statement socks trending at the moment, it was the perfect opportunity to launch Barnaby,” says Namdarian.
The socks make a great gift idea and prompt men to reconsider the standard black pair when shopping.
“Since we launched, we’ve had a combination of men buying their own socks and our socks given as gifts to

Geometric patterns, polka dots, stripes and a button loop to keep pairs together when you wash them set Barnaby socks apart.

I f you ever bump into me at a wine bar, chances are I’ll be swirling a glass of chardonnay. This noble grape is my favourite white by some distance.When winemaker and head of France’s famous
Chablis chardonnay region Louis Moreau hit town recently, I arranged a catch-up to chat about all things chardonnay.
Chablis is the only region in France with mono-cépage, where only one grape variety can be used in its wines: chardonnay. Eighteen villages make up the appellation and the wines are divided into four levels: petit chablis, chablis, premier cru and grand cru.
Chablis’ winemakers tend to shy away from ageing their wines in oak, to keep their purity.
“Chablis should have three characteristics: it should be fresh, it should be crispy and it should be fruity,” says Moreau.
Soil plays an important part in the character of chablis. An inland sea once covered the region and mineral and seashell deposits 240 million years ago created kimmeridgian soil, which is rich in calcareous soils and clays.
“The different soil types are the beauty of chablis,” Moreau says. “Some wines can be a bit more austere and with a little bit more tension compared to other wines, while premier cru and grand cru can be a little bit rounder or a bit more supple or tender.
“Those made on clay produce fuller wines and the chalky soils will give you nice tension.”
Much of the chablis that makes its way to Australia
DEcANtEr \ BEN THOMAS LOVES HIS CHARDONNAY
to rEAD MorE rEviEWs www.theweeklyreview.com.au/wine
comes bottled under screw cap; rare for French wine. We’re the only country in
the world to which some chablis producers will ship screw-capped wine. With freshness the
key to good chablis, we really are the lucky country.“Chablis being very fine, very delicate, screw cap
is definitely a plus, especially when you ship them to countries with different conditions. It helps preserve the wines better,” says Moreau, who has used screw caps for six years. “It takes away the fear of having a bad bottle for consumers and for winemakers it helps preserve one, two years of our work rather than have it ruined by a cork.
“My father always said if there’s new technology, whether it’s in the vineyard or winemaking, and if it’s going to be helpful, don’t go against it. He is right.” \
in the neighbourhoodOfficially part of the Burgundy region, Chablis shares characteristics with the nearby Champagne. “The first Champagne vineyard is not even an hour’s drive from Chablis,” Moreau says. “The climate, soils, terroir is similar and back in history we were closer to the Count of Champagne rather than the landowners in southern Burgundy.” Until relatively recently, Chablis wasn’t the domain of only chardonnay. “Back in history there was a little bit of pinot noir and gamay, but it was pulled out,” Moreau says. “I remember some of those vineyards when I was younger, but they were used for family consumption and workers. There was always a tank of red wine in the winery but that disappeared and we solely concentrate on chardonnay.”

The best of yesteryear and today meld in this rejuvenated, one-of-a-kind 1920s bungalow.
Meticulously restored, extended and transformed over
many years and with no expense spared, the weatherboard dwelling (circa 1926) of 38 squares was built for WWI veterans under the State Savings Bank of Victoria scheme.
Creating a lasting impression, from its formal front garden to its Colorbond fence at the rear, the character-filled dwelling has a versatile layout that maximises comfort.
The original front door opens to the foyer, to the right of which is the lounge room. The
sleeping wing to the left includes the main bedroom with mirror-front wardrobe, picture rails and Travertine marble en suite with frameless shower, floating vanity and toilet. Another two bedrooms each with built-in wardrobe, a powder room and understairs storage room or study are also in this wing.
The vast lounge room is a statement in style, with its Axminster carpet, swag-and-tail pelmeted drapes, fretwork and cedar windows.
A doorway to the right leads to the dining room (with feature leadlight window) and beyond to the bar and rear living area.
The dining room links with the New Zealand beech kitchen, which has a Bosch wall
double oven, four-burner gas cooktop, Qasair rangehood and Bosch dishwasher, granite benchtops and insinkerator.
The house also has a meals area, sitting room with feature fireplace, two-way laundry, family bathroom with shower, toilet, bath and timber vanity, and a covered entertainment area.
The upstairs level, with cleverly hidden access from the foyer, has two bedrooms, a study nook with built-ins, cedar-lined dormer ceiling, Daikin split-system and bathroom with oval spa, shower, toilet, vanity and heat lamp. Or the entire floor would be ideal as a fantastic master suite with dressing rooms.
Refrigerated cooling, ducted heating, ducted vacuum, plantation shutters, three-metre ceilings, polished rose gum floorboards, cherrywood doors, roof storage and cubby house are included.
On a 1014-square-metre block with full-length side drive to a double carport and steel garage with three-phase power, this house is surrounded by delightful gardens that include mature moptop, silver beech, ficus, lilly pilly, copper beech, liquid amber and pittosporum trees. Close to Werribee Recreational Centre, schools, shops, buses and trains, it also has river walking tracks nearby. \

including the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite with twin-basin vanity unit and large shower; the other bedrooms have built-in robes.

Living in Melbourne’s western suburbs is proving popular as estates such as The Heartlands in Tarneit, developed by Asset1, release new sites for eager buyers.
The Stage 10 release, with blocks of land from $161,000, is adjacent to the estate’s Club Heartlands, which has a gym, pool and tennis court, and is a short walk from the estate’s seven-hectare park.
Residents will be close to Werribee Plaza and, in time, the new Tarneit train station that will connect commuters to Melbourne’s CBD.
“The Heartlands’ competitive pricing, convenient location and delivery of key facilities in the early stages of development has spurred a number of sales as home buyers seek to be close to services,” Asset1 sales director Mark Adams said.
“Buyers want to purchase in a location that not only suits them now, but will suit them in the future when their families grow and mature.”
Blocks of land are available from 320-square-metres to 555-square-metres, with 32 lots to choose from.
“The estate is only 30 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD and moments from shopping centres and schools, so families can afford to have the lifestyle they want where every amenity is at their doorstep,” Mr Adams said.
For more information on The Heartlands community, contact the sales team, visit the on-site sales office or The Heartlands website. \

TASTE THIS
Gilbert Picq & ses Fils Chablis Premier Cru Vosgros 2011 (Chablis) $74; 12.5%★★★★★
Grown on steep slopes in a commune called Chichée, this has delightful � oral perfume of melon, spice, stonefruit and lemon zest. Seriously delicious honey-tinged melon, stonefruit and grapefruit � avours are laced with minerality. � ere’s a savoury character, too, plus texture and the lightest of grips and a zippy, refreshing line of acid. Such an evenly balanced wine.Food match \ Cold poached salmon
Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis 2012 (Chablis) $30; 12.5%★★★★
While most petit chablis comes from the north of the region on various soils, Defaix’s organically farmed petit chablis is grown on the region’s famed kimmeridgian soils. It opens with a little sulphuric funk, which blows o� (a quick decant is a worthwhile exercise for the impatient) to reveal complex clingstone peach, gun� int, citrus and chalky aromas and � avours. It’s smooth, slippery and refreshing, with a lemon and mineral drive through the � nish.Food match \ Rabbit with a creamy mustard sauce
Domaine Oudin Chablis 2011 (Chablis) $41.95; 12.5%★★★★ ½
� e average vine age is 25 years. � ere’s a stalky, chalky perfume to the blossom, citrus and stonefruit aromas that’s rather beguiling. It carries into the mouth, too, and combines nicely with intense lemon, green melon, honeysuckle and saline � avours. It fairly clips along the tongue, with energetic acid and a refreshing � nish. Buy this direct from the importer at www.eurocentricwine.com.auFood match \ Oysters
Patrick Piuze Terroir de Courgis 2012(Chablis) $45; 12%★★★★ ½
French-Canadian Piuze takes grapes from a load of vineyards around Chablis, most of which are home to vines that are more than 40 years old. � is smells of nectarine, green melon, lemon and seaspray, with a little yeasty funk. � ese are mirrored on the rounded palate. � ere’s a lemon and mineral-� avoured line of acid that cuts through the ripe stonefruit and melon � avours. Starting with a silky texture, it � ows delightfully through the mouth.Food match \ Fish pie
POISE INTENSE
CHALKY SILKY
Louis Moreau Chablis 2012 (Chablis) $35; 12%★★★★ ½
� ere’s a purity to this wine, with stonefruit, citrus and blossom, ripe apple and a touch of sa� ron. Lively and energetic in the mouth, with seashell minerality, there’s acidity and rich, but gentle ripe nectarine � avours. It’s a delightful wine with a focused � nish featuring lemon and grapefruit. It’s lengthy, too.Food match \ Fish and chips

Tourists looking for family fun in Geelong are sure to fi nd it at the Carousel Pavilion on the waterfront.
“It’s a lovely big glass pavilion with a fully restored 1892 carousel,” Carousel coordinator Leah Wolfe says.
“Also inside is a Gavioli band organ (that works), a steam engine and shop selling carousel and waterfront souvenirs.”
It’s one of only 200 carousels in operation around the world and with 36 horses and two chariots,
the carousel will certainly keep kids entertained.
Carousel Pavilion, open daily, is the place to check out on school holidays when additional activities are running. For
more information visit facebook.com/TheCarouselGeelong
After some fun on the carousel, why not relax at Geelong Botanic Gardens, on the corner of Podbury and
Eastern Park Drives, which conserves plants from around the world. Group tours are available and visitors can explore the 21st Century Garden, Rose Garden, the Forgotten and
Temperate Gardens, the conservatory and step into the Tea House for a drink or bite to eat. And school holiday programs are ideal for the kids to learn about plants and participate in hands-on activities.
The gardens are open daily and free to visit.

Visitors to Geelong would be hard pressed to fi nd a more intriguing destination than the National Wool Museum on Moorabool Street. But don’t let the museum’s name fool you; there’s much more to this historic building than the history of wool.
“I love this museum because it has many components,” museum director Padraic Fisher says.
“It was built in 1872 and part of making Geelong an epicenter of the wool industry. Today, we have core exhibits on agriculture and shearing called ‘Wool Harvest’ and the fashion side of wool exhibit ‘Fleece to Fabric’. We also have galleries which constantly change from being about science, local regional
history, fashion and photography, among others, and a restaurant, nightclub and museum shop.”
The museum currently has the 25th Object exhibition on until May 18 which Fisher says is about all gamuts of life.
“We’re collecting Geelong’s stories and have 150 stories and images on display and encourage visitors to give feedback.”
And from March 27 to May 4 the museum will host ‘Future Wool’, an exhibition of garments from around the world. Sketches on how they were designed and garments fresh off the runway from Paris and London are sure to entice fashionistas.

MotoriNg \ Rod Easdown opts foR REstRaint
Being the one in the family who knows about cars has its drawbacks. Like the time I was asked to fit a child seat.
I read the instructions. I followed the directions. For two hours I struggled. It just wouldn’t get in there tight enough to make me happy. I gave up and called a Kidsafe installer. She looked at my work, shook her head sadly and said “Nup. Hardly anyone gets it right”. But she said it nicely.
Fifteen minutes later, there it was. I realised later that, even if I had managed to fit it correctly, I wouldn’t have known.
In the US, they have frightening data on this business. Three in four child seats over there are fitted incorrectly; more than a third of children under 13 who are killed in car accidents are incorrectly restrained.
The local data is equally scary. Research suggests children who are not restrained correctly are up to seven times more likely to be seriously injured in a car accident. On an average day in New South Wales, 11 people are fined for having an incorrectly fitted seat or for having kids not properly restrained.
Incorrect fitting attracts a fine of $317 and three demerit points in Victoria, and you’d most likely be pinged after a smash.
One reason seats are incorrectly fitted is that it sometimes requires a lot of strength. Another is that although restraint anchor points have been standardised by car manufacturers, there’s no standardisation in the child seats themselves – so what works
for one may not work for another. It’s a point sometimes criticised by car makers.
Seat manufacturers have views about car makers too, especially regarding inflatable seatbelts. These are a relatively recent idea;
belts that inflate on impact, providing cushioning between the wearer and the
webbing to reduce injury and especially webbing burn. But they pose all sorts of problems for child-seat makers, to the point where some recommend against buying cars with them fitted in
the rear seats.It’s illegal, but it’s not unknown for
people in a hurry to fit child seats using only the seatbelts, and not the car’s restraint anchors. Do this and you’re asking for trouble. Child seats fitted this way can have significant forward travel in a big hit, enough that the kid’s head impacts the seat in front.
Professional installers can advise on when it’s best for your kid to go from rear facing to forward facing, and then to a booster.
It’s handy knowledge. Research last year by Queensland University of Technology’s Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety suggests almost one in four children is moved to booster seats too early. \

MARCH 26, 2014 \ WYNDHAM WEEKLY 35
[ 36 ] WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE March 26, 2014
“Baselworld” sounds like a Swiss waterslide park, right? Well, for watch lovers, attending it is certainly a breathtaking experience. First, the
watches. So many new releases. So many glittering showcases and presentations. So many things to Instagram and Facebook.
Second, the brand pavilions. Remember the World Expo ’88, in Brisbane? It’s like that, but every single brand is the New Zealand pavilion. They spend millions in an effort to outdo each other. It’s like an architectural and interior design space race of materials and magnitude. They are entirely ridiculous and fantastic.
TAG Heuer’s pavilion looks like a giant spaceship that has split apart on impact with an alien planet. Breitling’s resembles the Melbourne Aquarium, with hotter models (male and female) at the entry. Rolex and Omega look just like you imagine: gigantic, towering edifices of sheer big-brand power. At this, the world’s largest watch fair – in Basel, Switzerland, and only weeks away – brands begin sharing their releases ahead of the jump. These are some of the highlights. \
[email protected] Omega \ Speedmaster Mark IIMost men know a Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional when they see one. As far as luxury watches go, it’s instantly recognisable, relatively affordable, iconic and versatile. So, it’s great. Why then, re-release the Speedmaster II, first launched in 1969? Because, well, Omega can and when it comes to iconic designs, an inch is a mile: you need to change them only slightly to have a big impact on the overall look. The main differences between this and the Mark I are the barrel-shaped case in radially brushed steel and the
Man Of Steel \ ANDREW McUTCHEN DISCOVERS TIMELESS PIECES
transparent tachymetric scale on the sapphire crystal, which is illuminated from beneath. It’s really a very neat trick. RRP $7325
Blancpain \ VilleretBlancpain is a brand favoured by Russian President Vladimir Putin, but don’t hold that against this high-end maison. Its cachet is in its experience – the company was founded in 1753 – and its elegance. No bells (apart from on its minute repeater models – watch-geek humour, sorry), no whistles, just the simple things done well. Such as an enamel “grand feu” dial on this new Villeret model that is fired at 1000 degrees, with the numerals retouched by hand. The eight days’ power reserve on this automatic winding 42-millimetre model hints at the mastery at work within the case; that’s roughly four times longer than average. POA
Maurice lacroix \ Masterpiece GravityMaurice Lacroix is relatively young for a watch brand and is therefore considered in the “upstart” category. It handles the mantle well and uses it as something of a springboard to make interesting watches with dashes of flair and impressive levels of skill in their engineering. The soon-to-be-released 43-millimetre Masterpiece Gravity is a good example, with a large balance wheel on the dial and a partly open-worked case that reveals components made of silicon. They are lighter than metal and have less need for lubrication. More straightforward is its new Pontos S Supercharged dive watch, which has a huge 48-millimetre case size and bright colour-infused metals. Horses, and seahorses, for courses. POA

cannons shoot down jetsTAC Cup
� e new-look Western Jets’ on-ball brigade was dealt a harsh lesson by Calder Cannons with a 40-point � ogging in the opening round of the TAC Cup at Highgate Recreation Reserve on Saturday morning.
� e bulk of the Jets who ran through the mid� eld were familiar faces but had little experience at the coalface.
Jets coach Torin Baker wasted no time si� ing through the match footage to come up with answers for players he wants to fast-track into their new positions.
“We have a new on-ball group who haven’t played a lot in the TAC Cup ,” he said. “Most of them are new in the role, but they have to learn, and quickly. I’ve identi� ed some things they can work on .”
Corey Ellis was the exception to the rule . Switched into the centre in the second half, he did a lot of the grunt work while also hurting the opposition with his run and carry and exquisite foot skills.
� e Jets were behind on the scoreboard from the get-go as the Cannons made full use of the breeze to lead by 23 points at quarter-time.
Down 21 at half-time, the Jets were made to pay for their sloppy play in attack. � e Cannons booted four goals to one in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.
“We rued the opportunities we missed,” Baker said.
Connor Menadue was one of the standouts for the Jets in practice matches and he carried his form into the � rst home-and-away match, while Mitch Norton excelled in a variety of roles and Liam Carter was solid down back.

devils let supercats get under their skinBig V women
Werribee Devils were battered into submission by the Geelong Supercats in a 69-59 loss in the Big V basketball women’s division 1 at � e Geelong Arena.
� e Devils had it all their own way in the � rst half on Saturday night to lead 36-28, but it all turned pear-shaped in a frustrating third period .
“� ey were pretty rough; there were some cheap shots o� the ball and we got sucked in,” Devils coach Lloyd Klaman said.
“When you go up to a higher level, you’ve
got to be able to learn to play through it, but we let it a� ect us. � ey had a 23-6 quarter and that’s hard to come back from.”
� e Devils showed � ashes of their best and worst play against the Supercats.
Of concern is the patchy performance of Devils stars Lisa Troyahn and Jodi Impey.
Troyahn was the Devils’ leading scorer and rebounder against the Cats with 15 points and eight boards, but she turned the ball over nine times.
Impey shot two-from-11 for an 18 per cent return, a far cry from the lo� y MVP numbers she was posting as a division 2 championship
winner with Keilor � under last season. “It’s not like last year in division 2 where we could show up and be 20-30 per cent o� our game and still win easily,” Klaman said.
“We’ve just got to get back to work because there’s a lot of good teams in this league.”
Elisha Burnette was a solid contributor for the Devils with 15 points and three rebounds, while youngsters Alex Moss and Olivia Mitchell continue to stake claims for more minutes. Moss was a defensive terrier with three of her team’s four steals to go with eight rebounds and three assists. \ LJ
werribee steals thrillerBig V men
Werribee Devils have produced a stunning revival to eclipse the Sherbrooke Suns 83-82 in the Big V basketball men’s state championship at the Werribee Sports and Fitness Centre on Sunday.
� e Devils were supposed to be down and out, tiring on the back end of a weekend double header. � ey trailed the Suns by 24 points but somehow summoned the energy to launch a miraculous � ghtback in the second half.
Devils coach Mark Hughes said his team never gave the impression it wanted to throw in the towel.
“� e boys didn’t drop their heads and, to their credit, showed a bit of heart and character,” he told the Weekly.
“It was just going to be work hard, a possession at a time, get a score, get a stop and, if we keep scoring and keep stopping them enough, the pressure will build on them, and it did.”
At no stage during the � rst three quarters did the Devils have the lead.
� ey were down 11 points at the start of the fourth as a result of a slipshod shooting percentage from the � rst half.
� eir � rst lead came with four minutes, eight seconds le� on the clock in the fourth.
A� er a bit of an arm wrestle for the lead, it would be Devils import Aaron McCuin who took the game by the scru� of the neck, rebounding strongly, landing shots and getting to the free throw line to � nish with 19 points and 21 rebounds.
“He’s a workhorse, blue collar, just goes in there and gets it done,” Hughes said.
“He was a bit unlucky, too. He should’ve got a few more fouls; they hammered him quite a few times.”
McCuin made an important free throw to put the Devils up by four. But the Suns landed a three-pointer through import Grant Johnson to cut the lead to one with two seconds on the clock.
Clock management came into play and the Devils held on to make it three wins from

three starts this season. � e new-look back court combination of Jordan Hughes and import Rustin Dowd came together nicely.
Hughes scored 27 points at the two spot, which allowed Dowd to be the prime distributor with 18 points and seven assists.
“� ey gelled really well together,” Hughes
said. “It makes it easier for Jordan because prior to that the opposition showed him all of the attention.”
� e Devils now have three blockbuster games against Waverley, Corio and Bulleen – three out of the top four from last year. \

falcons soar to sixth straight win
VNL netball
In what is an all-too-familiar sight for their rivals, reigning champions City West Falcons have assumed sole ownership of top spot on the Victorian Netball League championship division ladder a� er notching a sixth straight win to start the season.
Judging by their 54-37 mauling of Boroondara Genesis in the much-anticipated top-two clash at the State Netball Hockey Centre on Wednesday night, the Falcons’ supremacy shows no signs of weakening.
� ey have opened up a handy game break over the Genesis, a two-game lead over third-placed Peninsula Waves and a massive three games over the rest of the competition. But, ever the professional, coach Marg Lind is not getting carried away.
“It’s a good start but there’s still a long way to go,” she told the Weekly. “We’re not going to get ahead of ourselves.”
Lind stressed the importance of a fast start to the season for her side in what can be a compromised VNL competition. She is mindful of the impact of state, national and trans-Tasman duties on her team.
Even on Wednesday night, the Falcons had three players – Chloe Watson, Emily Mannix and Maggie Lind – returning from the national titles.
“All three were pretty good, which is a bit of a � rst because normally they get back from nationals pretty exhausted and � nd it hard to get into the game mentally,” Lind said.
“We thought that if we didn’t make a good start we probably wouldn’t run it out, so we put all our eggs in one basket and went for it.”
� e Falcons ran riot in the � rst quarter to take a 13-goal lead into quarter time and did not relent.
Kath Knott showed her class to land 32 from 40, an 80 per cent return.
Higher honours could be on the horizon for the star goaler, who is making a successful return from a long-term knee injury.
“She’s a quality player and we’re lucky to have her,” Lind said. “I think she can still make the step up to the next level.”
Clare Moylan was a standout in the centre when the game was on the line early. She and Maggie Lind formed a strong mid-court combination that has potential for growth.
� e Falcons will meet Southern Saints in the seventh round at the SNHC on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, VU-Western Lightning fell to sixth place following a 52-40 loss to Yarra Valley Grammar Ariels.
� e Lightning will hope to make amends when they play winless Ballarat Pride at SNHC on Wednesday. \ LJ

tailenders topple tigersvdca
Two measly runs stood between Werribee and consecutive Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association � rst XI grand � nal appearances.
� e Tigers were upset by Noble Park by two runs in a thrilling, but heartbreaking, semi-� nal for the natives at Chirnside Park on Sunday.
� e match came down to a tension-� lled last over, the Tigers requiring nine runs to tie and advance, and Noble Park needing to take two wickets.
Tiger allrounder Heath Pritchard, playing his 200th match, was seeing the ball well on his way to 38.
� e milestone man put his side in a position to win the game, even hitting the � rst ball of the � nal over for four to li� spirits in the Tigers camp.
� en, with � ve runs required and two wickets in hand, the unthinkable happened: Pritchard played and missed to spinner Mevan Fernando, wandered out of his crease and saw the bails whipped o� by wicketkeeper Dirk Peter Vandergert.
� e Tigers had some hope remaining, with tailenders Jonathan Burton and Matthew � omson coming together. Both had spent little time at the crease this summer, so it was not the ideal situation.
� ey hit three runs o� three balls, two to Burton and one to � omson, ensuring the match and the season would boil down to the last ball of the day.
Burton faced spinner Fernando, failing to get bat on ball and su� ering the same fate as Pritchard – out, stumped.
It was a distressing scene that will stick in the memory of every Tiger player and supporter over winter.
“Emotions were running really high,” Werribee captain Shaun Dean said the morning a� er the game. “It’s still pretty raw. It will take me a while to get over this one.”
Should we have seen this coming?
� e Tigers have not been in premiership form over the past month.
� ey won their � rst 11 games but then dropped games to second and third-ranked Oakleigh and Bayswater, and battled for a draw against Altona in a quarter-� nal.
Dean conceded his side was not the form team of the � nal four.
“We lost form at the wrong end of the year,” he said. “We weren’t playing well late; we changed the batting order a few times, there was always something amiss in this last month.”
Noble Park won the toss and elected to bat on day one, posting 186.
If Dean had been o� ered that target before the day started, he would have taken it with open arms, but when you have a side 7-110
and let the � nal three partnerships combine for more than 70 runs, you might look back on it as the period that cost the Tigers the match.
“� ey might’ve got 20 too many,” Dean said. “ We just couldn’t get those last three wickets to knock over the tail .”
� e Tigers found it hard to negotiate the new ball themselves, slumping to 4-38. � ey had middle-order revivals through Dean (54), Wade McCall (18), Kyle Andrews (18) and then Pritchard, but the regular loss of wickets � nally caught up with them.
At least the Tigers are in the running for one � ag, with their second XI to host Oakleigh in the grand � nal at Chirnside Park this weekend. \

west newport ‘robbed’ of title
Cricket
West Newport is seething a� er a callous and calculated act ruined its last chance of Williamstown and District Cricket Association A turf premiership glory.
Wests went into the last day as favourite to make it three � ags in � ve years before the club moves to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association next summer.
Wests needed just one wicket to win, while Grand United had a mountain to climb, requiring 92 runs with two tail-enders at the crease.
It seemed a mere formality that Wests would claim the � ag, but when the teams arrived at Greenwich Reserve on Sunday, they found the covers slashed, divots marked in the pitch and a roller broken, forcing the umpires to cancel play.
Because it was the biggest game on the WDCA calendar, a number of league o� cials were in attendance. � ey initially decided to move the game to Fearon Reserve in Williamstown, but not all parties agreed.
“We said, ‘yep, no worries, we’ll go down there’,” Wests secretary Mick Jones said.
“But Grand United said, ‘nope, if you do that, we’re going to go to another comp’.
“All of a sudden they reconvened again and they said there will be no A turf premiers this season.”
� e decision hit Wests hard, even bringing one of its senior-ranking players to tears.
“We’re going to buy the boys medallions and a � ag and everything,” Jones said.
“As far as we see it, we’re the premiers, and everyone knows that. \ LJ
dockerty cup upset provides pep for young beesSoccer
Werribee City can feel more like it belongs in the top tier of Victorian soccer a� er claiming the scalp of powerhouse Oakleigh Cannons 2-1 in a Dockerty Cup fourth-round surprise at Jack Edwards Reserve on Saturday.
� e young and developing Bees would have been � lled with self-doubt following their four-goal thrashing at the hands of Green Gully in the National Premier League, but the win over the Cannons suggests they may be a banana peel for a few of big-reputation clubs this season.
Bees coach Nino Ragusa was delighted with his team’s response to the heavy � rst-up defeat to Gully.
“We knew we had to improve in a lot of areas and they did it quickly,” he said. “Credit to the boys – they found the answers we needed.
“We improved our possession game; our defensive game stayed very strong and overall we were competitive for 90 minutes. ”
� e experience of Ryan Filipovic was crucial for the Bees. He tucked away the opening goal, pulled the strings in the middle of the park and had a big say in team structure.
“� e inexperienced heads around him, he guided them, told them when they had to do things, where they had to be, and everything looked far better because of it,” Ragusa said.
� e Cannons � red back with a goal in the shadows of half-time.
Werribee’s winner eventually came from striker Josh Groenewald 15 minutes from
time.A journeyman, Groenewald is eager to nail down a starting berth at his new club and is going the right way about it.
Groenewald has formed a strike partnership with Zois
Galanopoulos, another player with a point to prove a� er failing to secure
a starting role with the Bees last season and spending much of the season on loan at lower-league South Springvale.
“He does have a few years of Premier
League experience, but he has gone from club to club a little bit,” Ragusa said of Groenewald.
“He’s still young but he brings a bit more strength to our game, rather than just straight line speed.
“I think he’ll be a handy pick up.”� e Bees will entertain Hume City in their
NPL home opener at Galvin Park on Sunday from 3pm.
Ragusa is going into the game with his eyes wide open about the talent that Hume City possesses.
“I’ve already seen them play and they’re an excellent team,” he said.
“I think they’ll be one of the forerunners for the league this year. \ LJ
