Sage up for music prize
Macedon Ranges’ Sage Roadknight’s call for climate action through her music has seen her shortlisted for the Environmental Music Prize alongside music giants. The 16-year-old penned her song, Voices, in reaction to the Australian government’s response to climate change issues and activism. “I am calling out those in charge, leaders who value capitalism over a sustainable future, who discourage and dismiss those who dare to strive for a clean planet,” she said.
“This song is a call to action, as well as casting a light upon the toxicity of ageism as felt by every student rallying for climate change action. This is a race and the time is now.” Sage's song, with her unique 'futuristic folk' sound, was one of 24 selected from more than 200 entries for the inaugural $20,000 prize. She was shortlisted alongside music legends Paul Kelly and Eskimo Joe. The music prize is one of the first to celebrate artists inspiring action on climate change and conservation. Voting is now open to the public until midnight on May 15. The public will be invited to watch each music video, vote for their three favourite songs and build a playlist. Environmental Music Prize founder, Edwina Floch said the incredible calibre of finalists highlighted the passion our country has for the planet. “We need messages of hope – ones that touch us deeply, capture our imagination and enable us to dream big,” she said. “By focusing the creative genius of many songwriters, singers, musicians and content creators on environmental issues, and by partnering with aligned organisations and community groups, we hope to propel a few climate anthems into the mainstream and empower a diverse group of artists to activate their audiences.” An impressive list of Impact Partners are backing this prize and will promote the songs and artists. They include: Green Music Australia, Greenpeace Australia, Wilderness Society, Ocean Impact Organisation, Australian Youth Climate Coalition and World Wildlife Fund.

A Mount Macedon Memorial Cross upgrade, youth mental health boost and transport improvements are among the wins for Macedon Ranges in the Victorian Budget 2022/23. The budget allocates $810,000 to upgrade Mount Macedon Memorial Cross site to improve accessibility via pathways, gateways and interpretive signage. The 21-metre high cross at the site commemorates those who have served in all wars and conflicts Australia has been involved with and is considered the second most significant war memorial in Victoria after the Shrine of Remembrance. The landmark hosts an ANZAC Day dawn service and is an increasingly popular tourism destination, with the number of visitors in 2019 exceeding 266,500, with visitor numbers expected to grow significantly in the years to come. The state budget allows work to begin work on improvements to Woodend's notorious High/Urquhart Street intersection with $500,000 for planning and development. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the budget was exciting news for the region, with transport and health also big focus areas. Woodend Station will see a $1.6 million upgrade with CCTV, toilets, a PA system, a new heated waiting area and other safety and accessibility improvements. The station supports one of highest public transport uses in the Macedon Ranges. Two new town bus routes are on the way for Gisborne and a new school town bus service for local students.
“We’re making it easier for locals to get around across Macedon, investing in new bus services for Gisborne and improving safety and comfort on locals’ daily commute," Ms Thomas said. The budget allocates $900 million to build a new hospital at Melton, less than 30 minutes from Gisborne. It will include 24-hour emergency department, more than 100 medical and surgical beds, an intensive care unit, maternity and neonatal services, mental health services, ambulatory care and a range of clinical supports. Macedon Ranges' youth mental health and suicide prevention initiative Live4Life will also gain $340,000 in state funds to be expanded across five local government areas. The evidence-based model builds both young people, and the local rural community’s capacity to recognise mental health concerns and seek and offer help. State-wide, the budget will invest more than $12 billion into healthcare with a 'Pandemic Repair Plan'. The plan includes funding to train and hire up to 7000 new new healthcare workers, including 5000 nurses. Another 90 paramedics will also be added to the workforce and $333M will add nearly 400 new staff to increase Triple Zero call-taking and dispatch capacity. It also includes $300M to upgrade regional hospitals and healthcare facilities, $9M for regional women's health services and $11.5M for group parenting sessions to support families with children struggling with their mental health.

A cool $6 million allocation in the state budget has placed the team at Castlemaine's beloved Art Museum in a glowingly positive frame. Delivered on the art museum's steps by the state member for Bendigo West, Maree Edwards, last Thursday's announcement of the $6 million allocation for CAM has also painted the future bright for the region's art lovers, enabling "critically needed" work to begin. "Even I was excited when I heard it," Ms Edwards said, announcing the dollars that will now enable CAM to get started on stage one of its redevelopment master plan, a move ultimately expected to enhance the local art venue's profile statewide. "This $6 million means CAM can begin the first stage of construction and will also include planning towards stage two of the master plan," Ms Edwards said. “The upgrades will ensure the facility will have disability access and improve and protect the structure of the building. “In addition, there will be work to ensure the wonderful and unique art collections are protected through security upgrades. “It also means CAM will be able to attract even bigger exhibitions, driving visitations to Castlemaine and boosting our economy.” Mount Alexander Shire Council has also pitched its support strongly behind the multistage redevelopment and this was evidenced in the attendance also of shire CEO Darren Fuzzard and councillor Christine Henderson, a self -confessed art lover. Delighted CAM director Naomi Cass described the works to be carried out as "critical". "They will now be able to start this year and we're hoping that stage one will be done within a year," Ms Cass told the Midland Express. She said the master plan had been developed by John Wardle Architects and would include provision of universal access at the entrance, restoration and repair of some heritage features, rectifying compliance issues and urgent interior improvements. "This is a rare art deco building which was opened in 1931 and we will be working closely with Heritage Victoria," she said. "This organisation is unique in that it was started by the local community. It really grew out of that grassroots desire as a place where people in Victoria can come to see great art so they do not have to go to Melbourne. "We're continuing that only now we're going to reverse it. Melbourne will have to come here."

Road upgrades pledge Mayor Cr Jennifer Anderson thanked the Coalition for the funding commitment and said it included a number of priority local road projects identified by council and the community. “These important road upgrades would be very welcome contributions. We are acutely aware there are many local roads across the shire in need of improvement. Receiving this additional commitment means our rate-payer funds can go further,” she said. CEO Bernie O’Sullivan said that with the population expected to continue growing, so too would the strain on our local roads. “It is important we keep working to support priority local road improvements, which will make a big difference to our local communities,” he said. The commitment builds on the Coalition’s investment to support local road improvements, including more than $15.25 million committed to the Macedon Ranges Shire Council under the Roads to Recovery program and the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.

Lancefield generous
Lancefield volunteers are seeking new means of assisting those in NSW and QLD flood areas since facing difficulties in delivering donations of goods. Last week Lancefield Neighbourhood House thanked the community for its flood relief efforts but asked people to stop donating items. "Two weeks ago we hit a brick wall for every option of delivery we had considered and we realised we needed to find another way to show our support," LNH coordinator Vivien Philpotts, told the Express. Ms Philpotts said people had been generous in their donations of clothing, which would now be sold to raise funds. "Donations of clothing received have gone to our op shop and proceeds from sales will go to a flood recovery group," she said. "Sales from one day has already raised $670. "While we are unable to make deliveries at this time, we want people to know that their donations are still going towards the flood recovery." Helping to sort goods last week,
LNH's Linda Wakeham said people in the Lancefield area wanted to show their support and donations had accumulated quickly. "I've lived here for 36 years and residents have always jumped in and helped out – it doesn't matter if it's an interstate or local cause, people in Lancefield have always been good at helping out where they can," she said. The Neighbourhood House is now directing flood recovery efforts on raising monetary donations. A fundraiser barbecue is taking place at 28 High Street, Lancefield, on Sunday, May 15, from 11am to 1pm. It will be a chance for people to contribute monetary donations to the NSW flood areas as well as meet new people and get to know more about the Neighbourhood House and what it has to offer. Further LNH coordinated flood recovery fundraisers are expected to be held later this year. People are also encouraged to view the GiveIt initiative, which is an online database of needs and requested goods from flood-impacted areas.

United with Ukraine
Kyneton Town Hall is lighting up with Ukraine's colours for seven days as a show of support and respect for the war-torn nation. The blue and yellow light display began on Friday, following Macedon Ranges Shire councillors unanimous support for the move at the ordinary meeting for April. "We want to show that this council stands with the people of Ukraine and supports them totally against the aggression that is happening (in their country) at the moment," Macedon Ranges deputy mayor Rob Guthrie said. The motion acknowledged the council stands with the people of Ukraine and that the council will provide assistance to Ukrainian refugees who are seeking shelter in the Macedon Ranges. It also expressed gratitude and thanks to members of the community, not for
profit organisations, government agencies, telecommunications companies and council staff who are providing aid to Ukrainian refugees arriving with limited resources. Mayor Jennifer Anderson said lighting up the hall was a small way the council could show respect and support. "There couldn't be a citizen out there that doesn't know what's happening in the Ukraine at the moment and to have those those colours there will let people know that we are very much aware of the plight of these people and that we're providing support," she said. Macedon Ranges resident Victor Zablockyj, who has family and friends in the Ukraine, said the display was a huge heartfelt show of support from our Macedon Ranges community for the Ukrainian people. The light display will continue until Thursday May 12.

Romsey demands facilities growth Strong community feedback for services and facilities to match Romsey's future growth will help shape the town's draft structure plan. The six-week consultation period on the project’s Emerging Options Paper finished in early April with a high level of engagement. Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s director of planning and environment, Rebecca Stockfeld, said a total of 419 online and hardcopy survey responses were received, as well as 56 written submissions. “Minutes from a community-led meeting attended by council representatives have also been included as a submission. This is all vital feedback for the project team to consider," Ms Stockfeld said. “It’s fair to say council hears the calls from local community members for services and facilities to match any future growth in Romsey,
as a large district town." Council hosted two face-to-face drop-in sessions involving 60 people. Project consultants Plan2Place ran an online presentation and Q&A session with 76 residents. The main themes of questions included township growth and wastewater impacts, adequate services and facilities, sustainability, transport and the project’s engagement process. Ms Stockfeld said planning officers and consultants were preparing a report for the council to consider on the submissions and how the draft Romsey Structure Plan could best address key issues. “We are also working on getting redacted copies of surveys and submissions onto the council’s web page for everyone to view,” she said. Development of the draft Romsey Structure Plan will continue with further consultation in future stages.

Forging connections Gisborne Men’s Shed has earned the title of 'Best Shed in Australia' for connecting their members and community. The Australian Men’s Shed Association awarded the top honour and commended the efforts of members to communicate during the height of the pandemic. For shed members, staying connected meant running a 'virtual shed' via newsletters and Zoom and proactively staying in touch with people who needed support in the Gisborne community.
Since the Gisborne Men’s Shed opened in 2011, the philosophy of the members has been to prioritise connecting with people. When the pandemic hit, the group knew it was more important than ever that people had ways to connect, and continue useful projects based on the needs of the community. Members are thankful to the members of the board of Macedon Ranges Health who approved their establishment in 2009, and
more recently for the ongoing support of the Benetas team. Steve Waite, manager of property infrastructure at Macedon Ranges Health/ Benetas, said they were so proud of the members of the Men’s Shed. "They work tirelessly for others, and it is lovely to see them receiving recognition for all that they do," he said. The members will now put their skills to good use, and construct a new shelf so they can display their prestigious award.

Trafficking derailed
Three people have been charged and $450,000 worth of methylamphetamine recovered in a six-month police investigation into drug trafficking. A Gisborne home was among those searched under police warrant as part of the operation. The first arrest occurred on March 31, after detectives intercepted a vehicle on Cumberland Road in Pascoe Vale at about 11am. A search of the vehicle allegedly uncovered approximately 2kgs of methylamphetamine, 450 grams of amphetamine, a small quantity of cocaine and $161,000 in cash. The driver, a 38-year-old male from Cannons Creek, was charged with trafficking a large commercial quantity of methylamphetamine and trafficking a commercial quantity of amphetamine. He was remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on June 23. On Wednesday detectives executed several search warrants at residential properties in Ascot Vale, Keilor Downs,

Mother Goose returns Parent-Child Mother Goose is returning to Kyneton. After trying to stay connected online, the group for infants and toddlers and their parents, will be meeting every Thursday morning at Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s building at 1 Caroline Chisholm Drive. Mother Goose promotes children’s speech and literacy development and socialisation as well as enhancing the parent-child bond through the joy of using rhymes, songs, and stories. It also allows for the opportunity for parents to connect with other families in the community and share ideas on parenting. “We are thrilled to be able to meet again in person,” said Tracey Thiele, Child and Parent Project facilitator. “The pandemic has affected everyone and for those with young children, groups like these where parents can spend quality time connecting and having fun with their children

As well as Kyneton, there is also a group on Wednesday mornings in Romsey. “The program is particularly beneficial for those parents or carers who are new to the area or who don’t have a support network close by,” Tracey said. “Parent-Child Mother Goose provides a caring environment where parents can meet each week and gain the skills and confidence to connect to their children and have the support from other parents in the area – plus children benefit from their exposure to language and communication.” Registrations are essential.

WE'RE HIRING!
If You Like What We Do and Think You Might Fit, Please Apply Our story We at Resilient Futures (www.resilientfutures.com) bring together a new breed of bold organisational leaders committed to understanding and taking advantage of the challenges of the 21st century. For a company based in Woodend, Victoria, it's a big purpose. But we think of ourselves more as a global business working with some of the world's smartest, impactful and most innovative organisations, so location doesn't count. We own our unique services – a fit for 21c framework and set of standards for strategy and planning called Strategy in Action (SiA) - specifically designed for leveraging the disruptive change we are and will continue to experience. We have a proven 25-year international track record of research and delivery to back it up. To grow our reach and impact, through a set of new online platforms for structured and peer to peer learning, networking, and collaboration in applying SiA, we need people who are energised by what we do and fit our team.
What we need
An irresistible picture book Jess McGeachin works at his dream job during the day as a communications designer at Melbourne Museum. But at night he crafts his stunning illustrations, some of which have been turned into the most eye-catching and absorbing of books that kids will not be able to resist getting their hands on. Jess, who grew up in Castlemaine, has been hailed as one of the book world's upand-coming rising stars. His latest work is titled Kind. This beautiful picture book is a unique celebration of living things of many kinds – and the kindness we can show them as we wander through the world. From the tiniest beetle to the most majestic whale, every creature on Earth is a marvel, deserving of awe and compassion. Kind is a gentle, rhyming introduction to the diversity of the animal kingdom. It was written in the first Melbourne lockdown, a time when many of us longed for the natural world. The themes of care and stewardship in Kind for our fellow inhabitants of this planet, and for self-love, make this book the perfect addition to any Australian home – especially with the current appetite for picture books that contribute to a child’s social-emotional toolbox. Jess's debut picture book, Fly, was published by Puffin in 2019 and was shortlisted for the CBCA and Queensland Literary Awards. The publication date for Kind, from the presses of Allen & Unwin, is May 31. It is ideal for youngsters aged 3-7 years.
Work focus We need FOUR new team members to fit these types of work focus: 1. Trainer and Facilitator - to guide the application of Strategy in Action (SiA) to our clients and their people in both online and in-person environments 2. Client & Project Coordinator - to support the client experience, from acquisition to project completion, and beyond. 3. Event and Activity Coordinator - to develop and implement a series of online and in-person programs. 4. Social Media, Web & Digital Apps Manager - to drive and grow our online presence, process and impact.

Bright and bold, the latest exhibition to adorn the walls at Harcourt Produce and General Store is an instant mood boost. Contemporary Chinoiserie features works by two local artists, Kerry Punton from Eastville near Maldon and Walmer's Sally Andressen. For those wondering, chinoiserie is loosely defined as being a 17th and 18th century western style of interior or garden design representing fanciful European interpretations of Chinese and other Asian art styles. It's been traditionally applied to furniture,
ceramics and textiles as well as to outdoor garden design. "I love working with colour," Sally said when the Express stopped by to check out the works in Contemporary Chinoiserie earlier this week. "I've use oil on linen or canvas in this exhibition." Sally studied painting at Montsalvat and New York Studio School, and says that her work here represents an emotional response to her former life in Paris. Kerry's work on show in Contemporary Chinoiserie includes both ceramics and acrylic-on-canvas paintings. She originally trained as a ceramic artist

Rats are on the move! Gives you the creeps? It can get a lot worse. The problem rodents can move into your car and do thousands of dollars worth of damage or worse such as cause a fault that could set your vehicle on fire. But there's more bad news ... this year, rats are settling into cars as their preferred winter home more than ever so it seems. One of the Macedon Ranges' leading mechanical workshops has in the past week alone, found problems caused by rats in three vehicles. Two of the vehicles came to the workshop because of existing problems – and they were found to be caused by rats chewing wires. A third vehicle came in for a regular service. A rat's nest was found and the start of damage caused by rats. A mechanic at the workshop said it was the time of the year when rats were looking for warm nesting places and every year damage was found caused by the rodents. This year the problem is a bit more extreme. "It's a bad year this year," the mechanic said. "But we do see it annually." "They chew wires, which can blow a car's computer and that could blow an engine." With that in mind, it's best to stop the

he said if you do this, don't forget bowls of water. This is needed to be consumed by the rats so the bait activates. Vehicle owners are advised to take action against nesting rats now. The worst scenario if rats do damage is a fully involved car fire.

A number of events are being held across the Macedon Ranges to mark International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) next week. A flag-raising ceremony will be held at the Kyneton Mechanics Institute on Tuesday May 17 from 12pm featuring guest speakers from Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health and from the local community. “To formally recognise IDAHOBIT in this way sends a clear message to LGBTIQA+ community members that you are seen, you are important and you are celebrated,” says Julie Landy, acting CEO of Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health. “We invite community members, local businesses and organisations to join us on this important date in the LGBTIQA+ calendar.” IDAHOBIT is celebrated each year around the world to raise awareness of the discrimination LGBTIQA+ members of our community continue to face and to celebrate the richness that diversity brings to our lives. As well as raising the rainbow flag, there is a community lunch on Wednesday May 18 at the Kyneton Mechanics Institute and a series of activities being held in conjunction with Goldfields Libraries.

The art of propaganda
KN264265/K
U3A Kyneton offers continuing learning, physical activity, and social and community interaction for members in the third age of life. The forthcoming course, 'The Dark Art of Propaganda', will begin on Friday May 27 at 10am and be held weekly until June 24. The course will be conducted by tutor Stephen Carisbrooke. It is generally recognised that the term 'propaganda' was first used by the Catholic Church in 1622 under Pope Gregory XV. The Catholic Church used the term derived from the Latin, to propagate, in the sense of planting seeds, to spread the word. There are examples of propaganda since recorded history began. Winners of battles get to write the history. The course will be covering different forms of historical propaganda: propaganda in advertising, propaganda for and against religion and, of course, political propaganda. Propaganda in wartime is particularly interesting because it entails keeping up morale on the home front and undermining morale on the enemy front as well as influencing neutral countries. The course will cover how well the Germans handled the flight of Hess to England and how each country magnified its achievements and minimised its losses. Did you know that Darwin was bombed 64 times by the Japanese? The course will also look at the magnificent 'black' propaganda run from England by Sefton Delmer, who had access to the strongest transmitter in Europe and used native German speakers on a station that pretended to be operating from Germany. There are plenty of newsreels, some from private archives which make interesting viewing, especially when the host country is not doing so well. Further information about U3A Kyneton and 'The Dark Art of Propaganda' can be found via the website u3akyneton.org.au , by email at info@u3akyneton.org.au or call John/Roni on 0439 360 763.

Green Hand Institute’s Joel Meadows presents on compost. There are many reasons to compost, YIMBY is primarily concerned with removing (so-called) ‘waste’ from landfill and producing high- quality compost to repair our soils, suffering from decades of destruction and neglect. Learning how to process large quantities of ‘organics’ at a backyard scale involves knowing what is needed to create a thriving compost heap, or in other words, a comfortable and safe place for our compost pets to breed in! What we don’t want to breed is rodents! Compost KN264264/K
Last weekend YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) hosted an enthusiastic group of composters at an advanced composting workshop. We got down and dirty, hands in buckets of 'ingredients' for a balanced compost, and our noses being used as finely balanced instruments to analyse the quality of finished compost. As someone who had provided a sample of my finished compost, my heart pounded as I awaited the verdict on my bucket of my sifted, deep coloured, spongy, friable mix. “A small amount of recalcitrant carbon, and a little dry," was the result, “but otherwise lovely". I felt a swelling of pride, relief and curiosity, eager to improve my next batch. Other composters keenly awaited analysis of their own samples, as we hypothesised on the reasons for variations. Over the years, many have hosted basic composting workshop to learn that with a little bit of knowledge, ‘organic’ matter will break down into something useable within the garden. This workshop took our understanding to the next level and taught us that with the right ingredients we can supercharge our compost, and process organic ‘waste’; quickly! One of our composters, Mikaela, is studying with the Soil Food Web Institute and literally brought compost to life for us. We heard vivid descriptions of what she sees under the microscope in a healthy compost and I had the realisation that I now have millions of pets to care for: cyanobacteria, protozoa, fungi, nematodes, microarthropods and this is even before the earthworms get a look in! The feeling of responsibility to the soil food web that supports all other life to thrive was palpable.

Kiribati cultural day kicks off creative project
With Macedon Ranges autumnal activities in full swing, local company Threshold is excited to announce it will be hosting a Kiribati Cultural Day on May 15 in Kyneton. Set in the centre of town at the local not-for-profit and hospitality hub Social Foundry, Threshold is inviting people and families from across the Macedon Ranges to discover a rich Pacific Island culture that the region rarely gets to experience so closely. COVID brought international travel to a standstill and many Australians missed out on memorable experiences of travelling to, and learning about, different countries and cultures. So too has the halt of international travel impacted on Kiribati workers who are currently in Australia as part of the Pacific Labour Scheme. Unable to go home and return back to their families and culture, Kiribati workers have maintained their connection to culture by singing and dancing together behind closed doors. Now, the doors have opened and the Kiribati community, including the Victorian Kiribati Association, are coming to Kyneton to share stories, dances, song, food and all the wonderful traits of this rich Indigenous culture. Hosted by comedian and RRR breakfast radio host Bobby Macumber, the Cultural Day will include performances from Kiribati dancers, and activities including storytime, dance workshops, and the Kyneton Town Band also performing the Kiribati National Anthem. Traditional Pacific Island food will also be available for purchase. The Cultural Day has come to fruition thanks to Regional Arts Victoria funding of a new Threshold audio-theatre production of a work that will focus on sharing Kiribati stories and folklore. This new work will be written by Baynton-based Kiribati writer Marita Davies and recordings from the Cultural Day will form part of the work that will be released digitally later in the year. Marita will run a children’s storytime on the day, reading from her children’s book, Teaote and the Wall.
Teaote and the Wall shares the true story of Marita’s mother trying to build a sea wall in Kiribati to protect her home from rising sea levels. Marita and her mother Teaote Davies have been connected to the Macedon Ranges community for over 10 years and are often found sharing stories of their culture in various community events throughout the region. Threshold’s co-director Tahli Corin shared her excitement for the upcoming Cultural Day. “As a company that makes predominantly digital work, we’re always interested in how we can embed our experi-

Bruce Mildenhall, chair, Mount Macedon ANZAC Dawn Service Committee Rupert Dalley ('Revisionist view', Opinions, May 3) takes exception to the portrayal of the Papua New Guinea personnel (‘Fuzzy Wuzzy’ Angels) and Afghan interpreters at the 2022 Mount Macedon ANZAC Dawn Service. The service committee seeks to honour those who served and to learn from the sacrifice they made. We tell both sides of the military service story – to both record the impressive record of Australia’s contribution and the negative impact on the personnel and families of those who served. To find that balance is not easy, but I reject the labels of ‘disgrace’ and ‘black armband’ view of history. The story of the magnificent contribution the PNG ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels’ to the Kokoda Track campaign is generally known. The official records, including those held by the Australian War Memorial, show there was also exploitation and poor treatment of these heroes. Similarly, some Afghan interpreters (‘terps’), while regarded by the Australian forces as invaluable and indispensable, were treated poorly at the time of the evacuation, when only some were able to be lifted out. True, the effort to locate and assist the interpreters was increased as a result of public outcry, but the danger they were in was real. The Dawn Service Committee is confident about the facts. Opinions about the balance between positives and negatives, or triumph and tragedy will be debated.
John Frearson, Gisborne I attended the recent (Wednesday May 4) community forum where candidates for McEwen in the forthcoming federal election had the opportunity to speak and answer questions. First of all, thanks to the organisers. It was a well-run event, civil and illuminating and I liked the idea of questions being emailed in advance and answered by all with strict time limits. I was pleased that all candidates pretty much agreed on the reality of climate change and the need for action. Also that they all opposed the indefinite detention of refugees and agreed that the ABC is important in our society. That much was solid ground and, as I am a progressive thinker, was reassuring to me. I was however very disappointed that Richard Welch, the Liberal candidate, once again made reference to “illegal arrivals” when, as Rob Mitchell pointed it, it is not and never has been “illegal” to seek refuge. This was then followed by Mr Welch's claim that LNP failure to index ABC funding was "not a cut”, followed by his failing to adequately explain the LNP failure to set up an anti-corruption commission. For our wonderful democracy to function properly, it’s critically important that the opponent to the sitting member be straightforward and transparent in presenting his/her policies and promises. I would find it very difficult to say that the Liberal’s Mr Welch met that standard. I understand that Mr Welch has given himself three years to gain elected office before seeking other challenges. May I be so bold as to suggest he would best serve our community by using that time to present honest policies not slogans and obfuscation? We deserve better from someone seeking to be a viable alternative in McEwen.
Janine Mc Dougall, Riddells Creek An urgent revisit of research justifying the parking upgrade at Riddells Creek railway station (‘Parking upgrades’, Midland Express, May 3) needs to be undertaken by the Victorian Government. My daily observation of the Riddells Creek station carpark reveals a consistent continuation of a trend over the past six months or more of the carpark being two thirds full at most on working days and very occasionally three quarters full if a function at the local hotel is in progress. It seems highly likely that this will be the status quo well into the future, given that many people have opted to return to the office on a part-time basis or not at all and the minimal impact increased housing development has had upon carpark space. Taxpayers money would be much better spent delivering a long overdue sealing of Fitzgerald Road and Hamilton Street.
Elite group Chris Hosking, Castlemaine Councillor Gary McClure excused himself from the last council meeting when the matter of a 10-lot subdivision for Diamond Gully Road came before council. Documents show that Mr McClure is on the title of the land in question that of Diamond Gully Estate Pty Ltd. Apparently Currie & Brown (Aust) Pty Ltd have taken this matter to VCAT on behalf of Cr McClure so it is possible that Cr McClure could now join a very elite group; sitting councillors who have taken their own council to VCAT.

In response to Mark Koehne ('Bring on suburbia in Castlemaine', Opinions, May 3). I am in no way 'lamenting' the establishment of another supermarket in Castlemaine, nor am l suggesting the we 'raze' the town to allow the businesses that Mr Koehne outlines to establish themselves even if that were their wish. I was merely questioning the delay and procrastination that has been going on for so long around this whole process.
In one aspect we have succeeded. We ask attendees at a commemorative service to reflect on both the well known accounts of Australian achievements and the lesser known cost, particularly to others, of that record. That there is a debate about the balance of the sides of a story is not a bad thing.

BOARDING FOR DOGS AND CATS Your pet's holiday home away from home
Secure, comfortable country surroundings.
Kennel cough is on the spread There are times when kennel cough spreads through the community like wildfire. At Castlemaine Veterinary Clinic staff are seeing multiple kennel cough cases most days. With that in mind, veterinarian Dr Yvette says it's timely we talk about what kennel cough is, how we manage it and treat it. "To start with, kennel cough can be a deceptive name, as your dog doesn't necessarily have had to have been in a kennel to contract it," Dr Yvette says. However, as the name indicates it is a highly contagious infection that can often spread where there are other dogs, thus the reference to the word 'kennel' in the name kennel cough. "Kennel cough affects the respiratory system, the organisms responsible for the infection are spread through the air, and some dogs will get the infection even without leaving their own backyards. Any contact with an infected dog can lead to the development of clinical signs, up to seven days post exposure," Dr Yvette says. The symptoms you are most likely to see if your dog has contracted kennel cough are: * A dry, hacking cough, like they are trying to clear something from their throat * Gagging or vomiting after excitement or ingestion of food * Eye and nasal discharge * Sneezing and snorting * Fever and lethargy * Expectorating white froth, sometimes with blood in it "Essentially when your dog is diagnosed with kennel cough, the vet is likely to prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection," Dr Yvette says. "If your dog is diagnosed with kennel cough it will be important you keep your dog warm and dry, and avoid strenuous exercise. It is also important to reduce any contact with other dogs to minimise the risk of spreading the infection. If you have more than one dog in your household, it is highly likely they would have already been exposed to the infectious organisms, so separating them is of no great benefit. Whether your other dogs end up contracting kennel
KN26431 14
cough will largely depend on their individual immunity." Dr Yvette says that your vet is likely to prescribe antibiotic treatment aimed at controlling the infection and making your dog as comfortable as possible, as well as treatment with the correct type and amount of cough mixture. "Vaccinating your dog is the most simple and effective way of protecting it against certain strains of kennel cough and we would recommend you speak with your vet about a kennel cough vaccination if you haven't already done so," she says. "I'm often asked 'why is my dog getting kennel cough, when it has already been vaccinated?' "It's a fair question. The kennel cough vaccination provides protection against two key organisms, Parainfluenza virus and Bordetella bronchiseptica. Both of these organisms are highly contagious and can result in severe forms of the infection. Like the human flu vaccination, kennel cough vaccination is unable to provide protection from all organisms associated with the disease. It is highly likely that if your dog is vaccinated and it still contracts kennel cough, the organism responsible is a different one from the more serious ones they have been vaccinated against. "Vaccination plays a very important part in the preventive care of serious infections, " Dr Yvette says.

As the weather begins to cool down over the country, the families of the Macedon Ranges will begin to prepare for the winter. We all feel the cold, and this includes our pets, big and small. The lifestyle of our pets may need to be altered as they adjust to the temperatures, and provision of feed may also change over the colder period. Smaller pets are often allowed inside the home with their owners, which helps to keep them warm on the colder days, whereas those who are suited to the outdoor lifestyle will require adequate shelter, rugging and jackets to assist with maintaining body temperature. Older pets who are affected by arthritis and joint problems may require an assessment by your veterinarian to make sure they will be comfortable with the decreasing temperatures. Signs you may see if your pet is affected by arthritis may include * Difficulty getting from a sit to a stand * Taking longer to settle while getting ready for bed at night

The Halloran family has a long a fascinating history in the Kyneton area and Michael Halloran has penned it in The Hallorans of Kyneton and Beyond. More than a chronicle of one family, the book tells the story of the origins and fortunes of the Irish peoples who left their homelands in the 19th century to settle in distant places like Australia. Leaving their beloved homelands with little chance of returning would have been a significant challenge for Irish people as it is for any migrant, but the Halloran story tells us how the Irish people established new lives and contributed to building strong communities in new lands.In 1869, Daniel Halloran and his wife Anne acquired land in Pastoria and settled into farming life. They were among the many Irish immigrants in the 1850s who made the long trek to Australia to seek opportunities for their families. Daniel and Anne developed the farm significantly over the years and produced cream sold to the Kyneton butter factory, lambs sold to the local butcher, and wool, eggs, grains, and oats. Today, the Halloran farm is still run by one of the descendants of Daniel and Anne, Mick Halloran, making it one of the longest continuous family farms in the region at 153 years. During this time, the Halloran descendants have been notable for their many achievements. Dan Halloran (II) served as Kyneton Shire president in 1918 and his son Jim was one of the famous Rats of Tobruk during the 1941 campaign to push the German army out of the middle east. Among the Halloran descendants have also been VFL footballers Frank and
Jim Halloran was one of the famous Rats of Tobruk during the 1941 campaign to push the German army out of the middle east. Danny Halloran, a world-renowned scientist Gerald Halloran, a Walkley Award winning journalist Jessica Halloran, young Australian of the year nominee Dan Halloran, an award-winning winemaker Clare Halloran, and highly acclaimed opera singer Antoinette Halloran. The family gathered in Pastoria to celebrate the book launch on April 24. The book is available for purchase ($20, inc. P&H) by contacting Michael Halloran via email: mj_halloran@hotmail. com

Tax Tips For Rental Property Investors – Tax Time Is Looming By Marissa Boyd, Rental Department Manager, Partner With tax time just around the corner, is your property due for some upgrades, repairs, or maintenance? When you rent out your property, you can claim deductions for most of the expenses you sustain. Report any expenses when you prepare your tax return, which will also require good record keeping of any invoices paid, receipts and the like. Part of these documents will include the end of financial year report you will receive from your property manager. If you have all your documentation and proof of payment, you will be able to claim. Common items you can claim for your investment property: Interest Expenses- interest you are charged on purchasing the rental property, purchasing a depreciating asset for the rental property such as a new heater, making repairs to the rental property, and renovations Borrowing Expenses- loan establishment fees, stamp duty on mortgage, fees for valuation, mortgage insurance, and costs for solicitors. Tenancy Costs- Cost for letting fees paid to real estate agent, and advertising. Repairs and Maintenance- the cost to restore to original condition due to renter wear and tear, structural improvements, repair or replacement of electrical appliances, replacing guttering, replacing fencing, repainting fading walls, oiling decks, swimming pool maintenance, plumbing and electrical.
Depreciating Assets- Assets that are not always fixed to the building that will decrease in value over time. Strata levies- for cleaning, gardening, building and contents insurance premiums, rates, pest control and real estate agent fees. Other expenses- cleaning, council rates, gardening, lawn mowing, insurance, land tax, security, stationary, postage, phone, water services for your rental investment . With the new rental laws that came into effect March 2021, it was introduced that residential rental providers have a duty to ensure their rental property meets rental minimum standards, for door locks, ventilation, kitchen facilities, structural soundness, toilets, vermin proof bin, laundry facilities, mould and dampness, electrical and gas safety checks, window coverings, lighting, and heating. If it sounds like you may need to attend to some of these items, it may be worth doing before the end of the financial year and claim these repairs on tax. For example, there is a requirement for a fixed heater to be in good working order in the main living area of the rented premises. If you don’t have a working heater for your rental property in this area, there is a $1000 rebate you can get from the government now for upgrades to heating and cooling, plus you will also be able to claim this on tax as well. Another item to consider and especially if you intend to keep the investment for a couple of years or longer, is to get a Tax depreciation report completed. This report your accountant will use year after year to ensure you’re claiming all the deductions that you’re entitled to for the depreciation of the investment- and is again tax deductable. Keeping your property well maintained and with upgrades to heating, cooling, and repairs, will only be a great value to your investment. Disclaimer: This article is for matters of interest only. RT Edgar do not provide registered tax advice and recommend you employ professional advice relevant to your individual circumstances.

extending from the kitchen and indoor dining area. The self-contained studio accommodation includes an open plan kitchen, meals and living, good sized bedroom, walk-through robe and ensuite bathroom. It has its own access separate to the main home and its own parking space. This is the perfect set up for older children, a residing parent, guest accommodation or possible income stream. The grounds and outside are just as impressive and the property welcomes self-sustainability with six large rainwater tanks, fruit trees and veggie patch, 21 panel 8Kw inverter solar system, and access to a nearby dam for a small annual fee. A huge workshop/shed has concrete floor and power connected, a single car carport supports the main house, and the beautifully landscaped gardens offer privacy and compliment the surrounding bush.

Set on a manageable 2877m2 lot on the Bendigo fringe, this modern brick home plus self-contained studio apartment combines country living with city style and convenience. Bordered on two sides by a nature reserve, seasonal creek and with bushland views, this semi-rural property takes full advantage of its borrowed landscape giving you a sense of space without the upkeep. And you are mere minutes away from shopping, public transport, schools, and recreational activities. Entering the main home, you are greeted by an interior that is light-filled and generously proportioned. Cathedral ceilings and large picture windows add to the sense of space. A neutral palette contrasts beautifully with the use of wood throughout the home and the polished concrete floors in the living room create an earthy yet modern feel. Free flowing living and dining spaces draw you to the thoughtfully designed kitchen with walk-in pantry and sweeping island bench. Gas and electric cooking feature in the kitchen and a dishwasher makes clean up easier. The home also has three generous bedrooms and a large laundry with built-in cabinetry and additional storage. The master bedroom, at one end of the home, has walk-in robe and ensuite, and at the other end, two further bedrooms with built-in robes and sharing a conveniently located family bathroom. Underfloor heating and a solid-fuel heater with turbo heat ducted system keep the home warm in winter and there is a near new ducted evaporative cooling system for the warmer months. The all-weather alfresco is a versatile space and big enough for the largest of gatherings, or everyday use,

Wise to crowdfund album
Malmsbury musician Lucy Wise has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support her fourth album. Her whimsical contemporary folk sound has won the hearts of audiences across Australia, NZ, the USA and the UK. She explores themes of love, the natural world, friendship and healing with disarming honesty, and accompanies her stunningly pure vocals with fingerpicked guitar, ukulele, and Appalachian dulcimer. Lucy returned to the studio to record her new album after her sold-out concert at Malmsbury Town Hall in February. The album will include Lucy’s recent single Broadbeans – a song about her move from Melbourne to Malmsbury, and describes searching for connection in a new place, missing friends and family in Melbourne, and shelling hundreds of broad beans. "There are also songs about love, friendships, and the learning that can come from travelling through dark places," Lucy said. "These songs are very much about finding where the heart lives, and how coming through hard times can give us greater capacity for love and empathy. My hope is that this collection of songs is going to be helpful for people during this difficult time in the world." The album is being produced by Australian folk producer Luke Plumb. Lucy’s music and a link to the crowdfunding campaign can be found at: lucywise.com.au

Celebrating Timor’s independence May 20, 2022, marks 20 years since East Timor (Timor Leste) gained independence. Timor Leste is Australia’s closest neighbour and is comprised of the eastern half of the island and two nearby islands. East Timor is the poorest country in South East Asia. The country has been colonised and controlled since Portugal began trading with Timor in the early 16th century and then colonised. Skirmishes with the Dutch in the region eventually resulted in an 1859 treaty for which Portugal ceded the western half of the island. Japan occupied East Timor during during World War II but Portugal resumed colonial authority after the Japanese surrender. East Timor declared itself independent from Portugal in 1975, but was then invaded by Indonesia. During the two-decade occupation, a campaign of pacification ensured (some say genocide). Amnesty International estimates that between 19751999 200,000 died from military action, starvation and disease. Nearly a third of the population. In 1999, after sustained and mounting international pressure, Indonesia allowed a UN-run referendum. East Timorese overwhelmingly voted for independence. Indonesian militia then commenced a scorched earth campaign. Hundreds were killed and large numbers were pushed into West Timor as refugees and remain there today. The majority of the country's infrastructure was destroyed during this attack. The International Force for East Timor was deployed and brought the violence to an end. The United Nations administered a transitional period and East Timor was internationally recognised as an independent nation on May 20, 2002.
A busy Timor school library. Since independence, many Australians have worked at assisting the rebuild of a new nation that helped our soldiers during the Japanese occupation at great personal risk. The Australian Timor Leste Friendship Network was established in 2009. Groups representing municipal areas here linked with similar regions in East Timor. These groups raise funds to send directly to their Friendship partners or acquire muchneeded equipment, clothes etc. often sending them via Rotary. In 2009, Mount Alexander Shire entered into a Friendship Relationship Agreement with the sub-district of Lolotoe, Timor Leste and Friends of Lolotoe TimorLeste Incorporated. This friendship is based on mutual support and respect for each other's culture. The Friendship group started work rais-

ing funds for school infrastructure, school resources, scholarships and gardening programs. Teachers have been trained, a library stocked and a chicken raising group started. It's all about food security, education and quality of life. The group also raised funds locally for food and basic necessities during the pandemic and when the devastating floods hit the country in 2021. The group paid for representatives of the Lolotoe community to visit Mount Alexander in 2014 so they could tour various agricultural businesses to gain expertise in producing food. Members of Friends of Lolotoe have visited the district on several occasions to meet with the community to discuss their needs and programs the group can help establish. Friends of Lolotoe is very grateful for the support and partnerships from our
local community over the past 10 years. These include schools, community groups and individuals. The group is currently focusing on providing funds for a librarian, library resources, English language classes and food security programs. CELEBRATION Images of the group's work and the Lolotoe community will be on display for the East Timor 20-year Independence celebration in the Castlemaine Library from May 16-20. The Mount Alexander community is invited to further celebrations to be held in October during the Friends of Lolotoe annual garden fete at The Hub, corner Templeton and Barker Streets.

Silver medallists in championships A Ballarat Highlands Region team comprising players from Gisborne and Kyneton Golf has emerged as runner-up in the State Fours Bowls Championship. The championships were completed at Bendigo East Bowling Club earlier this month, and the composite team of David Beardmore, Terry Kelly, Graham Edwards and Ethan Higgins (s) played extremely well against strong opposition. In the round of 16, the BH champions
faced up to a Melbourne Premier Division line-up from Bundoora RSL, representing Yarra Region and trailed 7-9 after 10 ends before taking control to advance 15-10 after the required 18 ends. The quarter-final match was live streamed on the Bowls Victoria Facebook page, and Beardmore, Kelly, Edwards and Higgins were always in control, surging to a 24-10 lead after 16 ends, and the match finished early.
The semi-final under lights saw BH play a Wimmera Region four, which led by a shot with three ends to play. The BH players rallied to gain seven shots over the last three ends for a 19-13 victory. QUICK DASH BY SUB Unfortunately Kyneton Golf’s Graham Edwards could not play in the final and Tim Rogers (Gisborne) made a quick dash from home to arrive just in time for the two ends roll-up, and substituted for Edwards.
The formidable Northern Gateway Region quartet of Jordan Yates, Brad Willoughby, Paul Williamson and Anthony Flapper (s) proved too strong in the final. After 12 ends the BH four was still in contention when trailing 6-11. The opposition then took control and raced to a 25-6 championship victory. The BH players were very pleased to reach the final, and be presented with their silver medals as runners-up.

Magpies valiant against Bloods
Bailey Henderson looks for an option for the Magpies. Photo: Max Lesser.
Following a challenging contest against Strathfieldsaye Storm at the Camp Reserve on April 30 the Magpies looked to bounce back against South Bendigo last Saturday at the Queen Elizabeth Oval. However, the Bloods made a blistering start to the match smashing through eight goals in the opening term and although they battled valiantly the Magpies were unable to recover. Best were Tom Cain, Tommy Horne, Riley Pedretti, William Moran, Jack Chester and Dakota Slingo. The Reserves also struggled against the might of the Bloods, but the Magpies Under 18s recorded a fantastic 55 point win over their South Bendigo rivals. Kyan Martin leading the way booting five. Best were Kyan Martin, Campbell McLennan, Ben McConachy, Austin Peace, Thomas Langley and Mitchell Langley. The Magpie netballers also encountered some tough competition and produced some fine performances but the A Reserve side were the only team to come away with a win, defeating the Bloods 42-33.

Tough for netballers Kyneton’s five netball teams ran into extremely strong opposition from Kangaroo Flat on Saturday. ‘The Flat’ has a reputation for fielding quality teams, expecting to figure prominently in the finals. The Kyneton netballers battled hard, and produced some very decisive passages of play. Back home at the Showgrounds on Saturday, the Tigers will be looking for improved performances against South Bendigo. In A-grade the Tigers were generally competitive against highly skilled opposition, but a few minutes of lapses allowed the score to blow out. The result was a 65-40 victory for ‘The Flat’, with Rachelle awarded the Major Toms incentive award. A-Reserve: With a focus on consistency and a game plan, the Tigers intend to work on building pressure and intensity after the 87-27 outcome. Incentive award to Tayla Durham. B grade: Kyneton began well and individual form is improving. Loryn Savoia shone (again) with plenty of intercepts and rebounds. Score – 59-17. B-Reserve: A tough 81-13 game against the top team, with positive indications ahead. The Major Toms award went to Samantha Marsh who played wing defence and went to goal shooter. Under 17s: A couple of key players returning and some training this week should provide a lift. Emily Cumming was best for her defensive efforts in the 83-19 defeat.

Tigers run riot
A dominant second half by Kyneton senior footballers on Saturday against Kangaroo Flat lifted spirits for tougher games ahead. Loyal supporters must have been pleased with what they saw, as the Tigers took full control to outscore the home side 12.6 to 1.6 after half time. In chalking up their second win for the season, the Tigers also lifted their percentage considerably and are looking forward to the challenge of tackling second-placed Golden Square at the Showgrounds this Saturday. The main match at Kangaroo Flat came after the Tigers had gone down in the U18s and Reserves, and the home club was hoping to make it a treble. In the first half there was little between the sides, with Kyneton’s five goals in the first term instrumental in a 14-points lead at half time.The Tigers opened the third term in scintillating fashion, with their players monopolising the ball and the forwards relishing the chance to put goals on the board. Eleven goals to one in this term came from inspiring football, with confidence spreading through the side, completely deflating ‘The Flat. A winning margin of 79 points should help promote a positive
outlook at training this week. The Tigers had a star in Fraser Driscoll, with Harry Huntley and Mason Crozier strong in defence. Dean Bartrop continued his recent good form, and Cam Manuel contributed six majors. Match details: Kyneton 5.5, 7.7, 16.9, 19.13 (127) d Kangaroo Flat 3.2, 5.5, 6.7, 6.11 (47). Goals (K) – C.

Reserves: the Tigers faced a tough battle from the onset, with The Flat eventually chalking up a 13.12 (90) to 3.7 (25) victory. Michael Wearne was best for the Tigers, with Jye Chamber, Josh Johnson and Isaac Warne the goalkickers. Under 18s: This match as a real stalemate, with goals scarce before the home side prevailed 4.9 (33) to 2.8 (20). Jacob Plowman and Lachlan Reid kicked the goals, and Brendan Smith, Oscar Power and Nathan Fisher were listed as best. The Tigers hope to see a large contingent of supporters at the Showgrounds this Saturday.

Flashback: Ollie Matthews with then star Romsey player Mitchell Jensen – with Diggers Rest this season – on the occasion of his 1500th game.
Bill West Umpires have been in the news at various levels of football and netball this season, and there’s one whose record in the Riddell League may never be beaten. It was the ‘Community Football Umpires’ special round on the weekend, and congratulations have been flooding in to mark Alan 'Ollie' Matthews chalking up 1600 matches as an umpire. Matthews, one of the best known personalities in the league, was league president for 18 years and a board member for 24, and his love of the game is seen by many as unparalleled. He received the name 'Ollie' at primary school and it has stuck. Very few people call him Alan. Keen on football, he played more than 200 senior games with Craigieburn and Wallan, but an accident when a motorcycle ploughed into his car near Essendon Airport resulted in a premature end to his playing career. Matthews’ father was an umpire, and an umpires’ advisor, and he decided he wanted to stay involved in football. From being involved solely as a field umpire, he eventually took up goal umpiring. Doing two or three matches (seniors and juniors) a weekend boosted his numbers, and he has seen many changes to grassroots football over the decades. He’s proud to have officiated in numerous senior and junior grand finals. Matthews encourages young people, and former players, to take up umpiring. Now in his early 70s, he sees umpiring as beneficial from a fitness viewpoint, and it can also help in later career paths. “I love it, it’s in my blood and I’ve made so many friends,” he said back in June 2019 when he chalked up the 1500 games milestone, not making any predictions about when he would finally retire from umpiring. Three years later he’s still going, and the best wishes continue to flow in. Well done, Ollie! NOTE: The Riddell Umpires Association is pleased to hear from potential umpires, boundary, goal or field. President Addam Icely is pleased it appears (finally) there will be a full completed season ahead, with more opportunities for umpires to ‘have a go’.

RDFNL round up
Lancefield did their best to contain powerhouse Wallan at Tigerland on Saturday. Bill West Riddell scrambled home by three points against previously unbeaten Diggers Rest on Saturday – the fourth time the Bombers have secured a narrow victory against finals contenders. Collectively the winning margins add up to 15 points, and one loss to football ladder-leader Wallan leaves Riddell with a percentage of 88.18, the lowest of the top six RDFNL teams. The good news for coach Justin Belleville and his Bombers are they face up to the three bottom sides and have the bye over the next four Saturdays. Realistically they will be well entrenched in the top five at the halfway mark of the season. Winning at Diggers Rest, by any margin, is usually a big challenge and the Bombers found a way to shut down the opposition in the first half then survive a big second half comeback, with ruckman Josh Grabham continuing his fine recent form. Riddell 9.17 (71) d Diggers Rest 9.14 (68). Goals (R) - B. Sonogan 2, N. Croft, M. Treweek, D. Tarczon, T. Stead, T. Alkemade. Best – J. Grabham, T. Hammerling, L. Shaw, J. Reardon.
RESPITE FOR HAWKS After a dramatic one-point win over Melton Centrals, Woodend-Hesket found the going much easier against cellar-dwellers Western Rams.

Lancefield battled hard at home to an almost fullstrength Wallan, and the Magpies had the dangerous Sean Morris, Matt Perri and Corey Grindlay collectively scoring 13 goals. The Tigers have certainly improved and will be looking to keep all opponents honest as the season progresses. Wallan 21.15 (141) d Lancefield 7.6 (48). Goals (L) – J. Russell 3, J. Kindred, J. Slattery, T. Atwell, B. Crowhurst. Best – L. Mitchell, Russell, B. Bryant, R. Schrembi, M. Higgins, Slattery. Away from home, Macedon found Melton Centrals a determined opponent in a low scoring contest which the Cats were pleased to win, with captain Zac Smedley in good form.
In successive matches the improving Centrals have given finals contenders a real run for their money. Macedon 7.6 (48) d Melton Centrals 5.9 (39). Goals (M) – J. Cooke 3, K. Staudt, D. Johnstone, B.

Gisborne seniors stay on top
Gisborne senior footballers survived a last term revival by Strathfieldsaye to remain on top of the Bendigo League ladder. After five rounds, the Bulldogs are the only unbeaten team, a game and percentage clear of Golden Square and Strathfieldsaye. The Strathfieldsaye versus Gisborne encounter was the match of the round, and was livestreamed. Gisborne had to cover the loss of ace forward Pat McKenna when he was ruled out through injury, and this provided a challenge for other players to to ‘stand up’ against the strong Storm combination.
Youngster Matt Merrett rose to the occasion with four goals, and Jack Reaoer was had to pass in defence. Spectators became enthralled as little separated the two sides in general play, with the ‘Dogs 15 points up at half-time. Goals had to be earned at both ends of the ground, and the Bulldogs led by 18 points at the last change. Strathfieldsaye lifted the tempo as the home crowd became vocal, and finally strung together goals while the Bulldogs squandered opportunities up forward. Gisborne’s late lone goal for the term came at a crucial time, and led to a sixpoint victory.
The Dogs play fifth-placed South Bendigo at Gardiner Reserve on Saturday, and will be out to retain their unbeaten run. South Bendigo went on a scoring spree to defeat Castlemaine 23.23 (143) to 5.7 (37) on Saturday and will be keen to bring that winning form south.
