Council error Good spirit and celebration to VCAT The Bendigo Football Netball League women’s Indigenous round match between Kyneton and Eaglehawk at the weekend may have been one-sided, but it was played in good spirit and served as a celebration of First Nations’ people in football and the contribution they have made to the game.

“Extension by stealth” is how some objectors have described changed operating conditions for Holgates Brewhouse’s discovery centre and beer gardens. Macedon Ranges Shire Council has admitted to lifting two planning conditions that controlled operating hours and alcohol consumption at the Woodend venue, without community consultation. When in place, the conditions restricted visitor centre and garden hours to 5pm weekdays and 6pm weekends, and service in these zones to beer only. The conditions were removed from the permit in October 2019. Neighbours only learnt of the change after reporting noise disturbance and investigating the permit history. “Had we been made aware we would have objected very strongly,” neighbouring resident Chris Knauf said. He addressed the council on behalf of eight Anslow Street residents last month. “It's almost as if Holgates has sought to have an extension to their public bar by stealth rather than actually applying for that in the very first place. “All of us support the Holgate enterprise and we support all local business and we're absolutely thrilled if they prosper and do well, but when it impinges on the enjoyment of our homes we feel that it's going too far,” he said. In 2017 the pub received a $1.5 million state government grant to build the brewing discovery centre and showroom. The upgrade was to act as a tourist drawcard and create 15 local jobs. Representing Holgates, MinterEllison’s Jarryd Gray said limiting operating hours to 5pm for the discovery centre and gardens would “be a great shame and an underutilisation of the land in the commercial one zone”. Mr Gray said nearby venues were licensed until 11pm and that Holgates would need to make at least three staff redundant by virtue of reduced trading if the conditions were reinstated. He also argued that preventing the service of food alongside beer was inconsistent with the responsible service of alcohol. MRSC director of planning Angela Hughes told councillors in June the application to remove the conditions “was decided by planning officers in error”. Ms Hughes said the council applied to Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to reinstate the conditions to correct the error. The conditions were advertised in April and attracted three objections representing 14 individuals. A VCAT merits hearing will take place in September and councillors seek to strike a balance between Holgates’ plans and objectors' interests in adopting its position. The council will advocate to remove conditions limiting the sale and consumption of alcohol in the discovery centre and gardens, and allow the indoor area to operate until 9pm (all days). The council will also seek other conditions including a cap on patrons and a ban on amplified music in these spaces. A VCAT merits hearing over the matter will take place on September 6-7.

New MRSC Waste App
TINTARA GEOLOGY The McLaren Vale region is famous for being one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world with vineyards planted on an array of soils up to 600 million years old. These include fertile red-brown earth, terra rossa, rendzina, soft sands and dark clay. From these many soils over numerous sites Hardy’s Tintara winemakers select the best grapes to create a range of wines aptly named ‘Geology’ reflecting the unique character the different soils give each grape variety. Tintara Geology Shiraz - Deep garnet in colour with aromas of blackberries, plums and dark cherries. The palate echoes these fruit flavours with dark chocolate, liquorice, spice and vanillin oak, finishing with soft, subtle tannins. Tintara Geology Cabernet - Crimson red with a bouquet of ripe plums and mulberries. Dark berry fruits and plum flavours dominate with cedary oak, chocolate and nutmeg adding complexity. Gentle tannins on the finish.

Macedon Ranges Shire Council has launched the MRSC Waste App for easy access to information on its waste service. The new app replaces the Loddon Mallee Waste Info app, which expired on July 1. MRSC’s director of assets and operations Shane Walden said the new app kept all the features of the old one but was easier for new users to find in the app store. “The app will enable people to quickly find the most up-to-date information on what bins go out on what night and guides people on what should and should not go in each bin," he said. “You can also customise the level of alert you would like by turning on push notifications for bin collection and public holiday reminders." The app includes a personalised bin collection calendar for residents with optional reminders, A-Z list of materials and images showing which bin to put materials in, and hints and tips to help with waste management. The app is available for both Apple and Android users. Download the app by searching MRSC Waste App or visit mrsc. vic.gov.au/bin-days
Disqualified driver caught

Macedon Ranges Council has adopted its 2021/22 Budget and 2021-25 Revenue and Rating Plan with changes after receiving 151 submissions. Additional funds have been included for several projects, based on community feedback, including Romsey Ecotherapy Park progression, Wyralla Reserve Stage 2 and Stage 3, a new netball court for Gilbert Gordon Oval, new building design for Woodend
Golf Club, and senior citizens funding. Chief executive officer Bernie O’Sullivan said the draft budget aimed to strike the balance between providing essential services, maintaining service delivery and supporting our communities to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The budget includes $36.06 million in capital works projects across the shire which will provide a much-needed boost for
the local economy and maintain and create jobs. Some new projects include roof works at Kyneton Museum, $5.2 million for the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct and new entrance landscaping for Gisborne Botanic Garden. A rate rise of 1.5 per cent is proposed, in line with the Victorian Government’s rate cap.

Fox bait fears
Edgecombe dog owners are on high alert after being notified by a neighbouring landowner that poisonous fox baits have been laid across his property.
THIS WEEKS SPECIALS Legs of Lamb (bone in) $10.99kg Whole Prime Grade Porterhouse $22.99kg Beef Chuck/Casserole Steak Edgecombe dog owners are on high alert after being notified by a neighbouring landowner that poisonous fox baits have been laid across his property. The 1080 poison, known as 'Fox Off', is legal to use subject to permit safety requirements being met, however, domestic dogs and cats are susceptible to poisoning if they ingest baits. The 90-acre property in question, to the north of Kyneton, is surrounded by multiple small-acreage allotments with residents who all have domestic pets. Michelle Fletcher and Clint Young have three dogs and a cat and said they'd been forced to put muzzles on their dogs in their own backyard. "Farmers don't even like to use it now. I understand it out on acreage, like thousands of acres, but this is a small property and close to neighbouring properties," Michelle said. "His property's only 100 metres from our house and we're just worried that poison could be carried by birds or foxes to our property and they vomit it up. "I've seen dogs get poisoned before and it's not very pretty. "There's no antidote to it." Monique and Luke Bergbauer are in a similar position, owning both dogs and cats.
"My husband and I are very concerned, one of our dogs is not even five months old so he just picks up everything," Monique said. "We're on 20 acres and the entire 20 acres has a neighbouring fenceline to this property. "I just don't believe the use of 1080 poison in such close proximity to neighbouring houses is fair. There are 13 houses within 1200 metres of his property. The risk is just too high." Neighbour Angus Strawhorn said 1080 poison posed a risk to his family's working dogs too. "We don't want 1080 on our property, yet we have already found one toxic fox carcass on our place, which has to be disposed of by burying a metre deep or incinerating (department regulation)," he said. "The individual next door has no hope of containing the poison to his own property. "He doesn't live here and the use of 1080 in such a small, heavily populated area is inappropriate." A spokesperson for Agriculture Victoria said controlling pest animals was important for the protection of native animals and livestock. "In Victoria products containing 1080 are used for the control of rabbits, wild dogs, foxes and feral pigs," the spokesperson said. "Only people who are authorised and appropriately trained can legally purchase, possess or use 1080 bait products."

Hub contractor exit
COVID-19 update
Following the easing of recent COVID-19 restrictions in Regional Victoria, masks are longer required for staff in non-public facing areas in workplaces and schools. Masks must still be worn when indoors outside the home, unless you are eating or drinking, or have an exemption. For the latest information on COVID-19 restrictions, and where to get vaccinated or tested visit coronavirus.vic.gov.au. You can also call the Victorian Government’s Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398.
Hepburn Council and Hutchinson’s Builders have parted ways on the Hepburn Hub at The Rex project after protracted negotiations. Last week the council stated neither party had any claims against the other with respect to the project and the council incurred no new costs from the decision to terminate the contract. The council said it intended to complete the project with an alternative contractor following a fresh tender process. Mayor, Cr Lesley Hewitt, said after best efforts to resolve issues around the scope of the building works, they were unable to reach a mutually satisfactory position. “We want to get on with delivering this project because we see the benefits for the community from consolidating staff into one building, relocating to a
bigger and better library and providing some unique community spaces at The Rex," Cr Hewitt said. "We will start a new tender process for the building works immediately, and will present to council a report to appoint a new builder and get on with the build. “I understand that this isn’t the news anyone wanted to hear, but we have the opportunity now to move forward with the project." The council acknowledged Hutchinson’s as a quality builder and noted they had been working in a collaborative manner. The council said it appreciated their endeavours to identify and attempt to resolve various issues with the building prior to starting and acknowledge this had taken considerable time to work through.

Victoria’s first male carrot cake champion, Kyneton’s Ian Kohlman. Photo: Bernadette Nunn
Kyneton’s Ian Kohlman has beaten the state’s best bakers to become the first man named Victoria’s carrot cake champion. “I could not believe it,” Mr Kohlman said. “I have never won anything like this.” He won through from the last Kyneton Show in 2019 to be the first male to win the delayed Central and Upper Goulburn group final in May. Mr Kohlman was then the only man among the nine regional winners at the state final held in Bendigo on June 26. “It’s great for me and it’s great for the Kyneton Show because it’s the first time a male has won the state final,” he said. Victorian Agricultural Societies executive officer, Rod Bowles, said Mr Kohlman was the first man to win in the competition’s eight years, challenging female domination of the carrot cake championship. “It’s not limited to one gender anymore,” Mr Bowles said. A recipe for recovery A retired scientist, Mr Kohlman found himself back at Melbourne’s Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute as a patient for aggressive treatment of metastatic pros-
tate cancer in 2018. “It felt like death might have been close,” he said. He only entered the Kyneton Show on his wife’s suggestion as a distraction from the grim diagnosis. “Deb encouraged me to do something because I was just about to start chemo,” Mr Kohlman said. He didn’t want to compete against her in the VAS fruit cake competition she’s won five times, so he entered the only other VAS open baking class, where all competitors cook to a set recipe. He made his first-ever carrot cake – and won. His treatment was also an unexpected success. When Kohlman won the Kyneton carrot cake competition the next year, his cancer was in remission. Practise makes perfect Mr Kohlman won a plaque and certificate for the state title, a bag of carrots and $250. But it took him six cakes to win the three rounds, making a practise cake each time. A novice baker, he treats the kitchen like a laboratory. “It’s like working in a lab,” he said. “You follow the recipe.
“I think it’s because with a scientist background I can follow procedures and you have got to be precise. I have watched Deb make her fruit cake and how precise she is.” But Ms Kohlman has never even placed in the regionals. “This was my fifth time at the group final and I have never won a cracker,” she laughed. Mr Kohlman entered the practise cake in the state final, deciding it was the better of the two though he was worried it was overdone. “I did not think I was going to win it,” he said. He will defend his carrot cake title at November’s 160th Kyneton Show and is hoping his win will encourage more competition. “I would love to see 30 or 40 people enter - the more the better,” Mr Kohlman said. “If I lose this year, that’s okay. It would not have been the best cake – and I will go for the 2022 show!”

Cobaw Community Health's new Kyneton building has been named a finalist in the Dulux Colour Awards. The building, designed by NTC Architects, is one of 13 vying for the title of best Commercial and Multi Residential Exterior. Dulux’s resident colour expert Andrea Lucena-Orr said the design had been recognised for its "exemplary use of colour in the built environment". The 1650m2 building has been described as conceived in all the beautiful colours of autumn in the Macedon Ranges. The project is created as a series of pavilions. The Community Pavilion references the banks of the Campaspe River and the Consulting Pavilion references the Cobaw Biolink, which provides the colours and material palette. The multi-coloured carpet tile pattern is a continuation of the external landscape brick pattern tying together the interior and exterior. The selected Dulux colours tie together the narrative of the building's form and materiality. The Electro ‘Black Ace’ powder

coated metal panels and window frames wrap the brick building creating a strong horizon line. The black horizon line provides a base on which the gold and tanned bricks sit on which draws the viewer's eyes upwards, highlighting the arched brick façade and connecting the building to the local Victorian verandas, Macedon Ranges, and bluestone bridges. The interior of the staff pavilion is also articulated with tall, vaulted ceilings, bringing in feeling of light and space. Vaulted ceilings are accompanied by speckles of brightly coloured mobile pedestals, powder coated in glossy Duratec Intensity ‘Sunshine’ and ‘Pink Gin’. The fun-coloured mobile pedestals subtly bring in a sense of liveliness and energy to the space. Dulux noted that this year’s finalists were of the highest calibre, showcasing innovation and excellence in the use of colour. Now in its 35th year, the awards program received 437 entries, which a panel of design experts have narrowed down to 105 finalists across many categories.

This year’s Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival has been criticised for being “poorly developed, poorly communicated and lacking in business participation”.
Festival fail Tourism drawcard leaves much to be desired
This year's Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival wound up in the gutter with the leaves, local residents have complained. The festival, aiming to boost tourism and local trade earlier this year, has been criticised for being "poorly developed, poorly communicated and lacking in business participation". "[It] left the community as a whole bewildered. We have to do a whole lot better or assign it to the dustbin of history," Macedon Ranges Shire Council has heard. These comments formed part of a submission to the council's annual budget, and called for closer scrutiny of initiatives. The festival was created largely in response to the hundreds of visitors that flock to Honour Avenue and Mount Macedon to view the changing autumn leaves each year. The concept was born from the council’s new Events Strategy and aimed to promote a broader range of experiences across the shire during autumn. While some businesses joined in decorating their shop windows for the season, visitors and locals reported little else occurred. "There was no proper promotion done
or information shared with shop owners," a Gisborne resident told the Express. "People were wandering around looking for things to do but there was nothing. You'd think that, being a festival, there'd be entertainment, food trucks... something. "You could tell it was a last-minute gig. It was really disappointing given it was meant to give the region a boost." Council officers admitted tight timelines had impacted the festival's delivery but said planning for next year's event would begin early. "After a tough year for businesses in 2020, the council’s visitor economy and economic development teams worked hard to develop and deliver the Autumn Festival concept within very tight timelines," they said. "While accepting that limited time impacted on engagement and delivery, the festival concept was widely supported by local businesses, especially those who participated. "The event team looks forward to having more time to plan and engage with businesses and community to deliver a more successful event in 2022." Planning for the next festival is expected to begin this month.
Coliban Water fees and charges for the 2021/22 financial year will decrease from July 1. Managing director Damian Wells said the prices were the result of the current five-year pricing plan that Coliban Water submitted to the Essential Services Commission in 2018. “Our prices have been steady or decreasing for several years now," he said. “The ESC’s role as a water industry regulator is to review our price submission every five years to ensure pricing, service levels and works programs are justified, and costs and charges are fair. “We are funded by our customers and our fees and charges are in place to recover the costs of providing services, including investment in infrastructure, to provide a standard of service customers expect and value." The next pricing submission period runs from 2023 to 2028, and will take into consideration climate resilience, water security and population growth. As the new prices take effect, Coliban Water will continue to offer a range of support measures for those who may face payment difficulties. For details on the new 2021/22 fees and charges, visit Coliban Water's website: coliban.com.au or call the customer support team on 1300 363 200.

Plan (slowly) comes together Mount Alexander Shire Council is a step closer to implementing recommendations in Plan Harcourt. A year ago the council adopted Plan Harcourt - a blueprint for land planning including town centre design and economic development initiatives for the growing locality. The plan includes the Harcourt Framework Plan highlighting proposed planning policy, zones and overlay controls to be incorporated into the Mount Alexander Planning Scheme. But before the council can implement any of the Plan Harcourt recommendations it must first seek to make an amendment to the local planning scheme, and the amendment must then be approved by the state's planning minister.
Last month the council submitted final documentation to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning seeking ministerial authorisation for the amendment. The minister will now consider the application before authorising the amendment in a process that can take up to two years - and the council may be required to provide further information before a decision can be made. Once ministerial authorisation of the amendment is finally given, a formal public exhibition process will then give the community a chance to view the proposed changes, and make their own submissions in response. At this stage, the town centre design project is on hold while the planning scheme amendment work proceeds.

Castlemaine Vet Clinic, Healthy Pets and Maldon Pets. “July is National Desexing Month, a time when pet owners across the country are invited to desex their pets, so there’s never been a better time to book your pet in for the procedure,” Mount Alexander's acting coordinator of community safety and amenity, Brooke Pannett said. “Evidence indicates that cats and dogs that have been desexed are less likely to spray in and around the house, or be injured while out looking for a mate. “In addition, desexed animals are often more relaxed and affectionate, and less likely to be aggressive,” Ms Pannett said. Mount Alexander Shire Council first introduced the discounted voucher initiative with local vets and the RSPCA as part of its 2013 – 2017 Domestic Animal Management Plan. The plan provides a strategic framework that delivers policy direction and action plans for animal management in the shire.

Mount Alexander Shire Council is offering low-income earners in the shire a reduced rate on cat and dog desexing to help encourage responsible pet ownership. The council is working in partnership with local vet clinics on the initiative, with heavily discounted vouchers available to dog and cat owners who are healthcare card or pensioner card holders. Under the voucher scheme, cat owners pay only $50 to have their female cat desexed or just $30 for a male. At the same time, cats will be microchipped to enable them to be traced to their owners if they stray or are lost. Owners are encouraged to register their cats with the council once desexing and microchipping is complete. Under the voucher scheme, eligible dog owners can save up to $85 for desexing their male or female pet. Vouchers are available throughout the year from the civic centre, and redeemed at participating veterinary clinics including

Following June’s extreme weather event, Mount Macedon Road and Cameron Drive are open to only local residents and essential services but remain closed to all other vehicles. Macedon Regional Park remains closed due to hazards such as damaged trees that are at risk of falling. Parks Victoria continues to clear walking tracks and picnic facilities. While most trees have been cleared from the road, there are still many fallen trees close to the road edge and there is a high risk of more trees falling. Trees will be assessed by independent arborists as part of the clean-up process. Regional Roads Victoria says crews and contractors will continue to work for however long it takes to clear debris, trees and hazards from the road environment in order to keep the community and visitors connected. Real-time traffic conditions are available at: traffic.vicroads.vic.gov.au or via the VicTraffic mobile app. If you see any problems on the roads, report them to the Traffic Management Centre on 13 11 70 (open 24/7). In an emergency call Triple Zero (000).
Tugurium is a treasure trove of rare and unusual plants collected over decades.
Tugurium treasures
Open Gardens Victoria is presenting a winter weekend opening of Stephen Ryan’s fascinating private garden ‘Tugurium’ at Macedon this month. Set on a peaceful country lane, the garden represents the decades that Stephen has spent collecting and curating rare and unusual plants including species on the Plant Trust National Plant Collections Register such as Acanthus, Sambucus and Osmanthus. Stephen’s private woodland-style garden shines in winter with textured foliage and the forms of various plantings working harmoniously together with small pops of floral plumes. Winter flowering hellebores, Brugmansia (angel’s trumpets), Cyclamen coum and various winter flowering bulbs will be highlights. This is a wonderful garden for exploring, with winding paths meandering through woodland plantings, a restful pond and circular lawn with a small orchard and neighbouring vegetable garden. Children will love discovering unexpected garden curiosities such as a clipped topiary ‘spider’ and the ducks and chickens in the chook house dubbed ‘Cluckingham Palace’. Tugurium, at 8-10 Centenary Avenue, Macedon, is open to the public on July 24-25, from 10am to 4.30pm. Parking is available in Marshall Avenue. Due to COVID-19 protocols, tickets must be booked and pre-paid online via TryBooking. Entry is $10 and free for children under 18. Rare plants will also be available for sale from Dicksonia Rare Plants and botanical artworks by artist Craig Lidgerwood.

Not every diabetes impact is physical
Type 2 diabetes impacts 1.2 million Australians. "In terms of food choices, I recommend regular meals and to include five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit a day. "Having good quality protein in the form of fish or eggs or tofu I also recommend. "The less processed the food, the better, for both someone with diabetes and to also prevent developing diabetes. "Foods high in sugar such as lollies and soft drink should also be avoided. "The important point to make is that people with diabetes, people without diabetes - all of us - should be eating like this and this is based on Australian Dietary Guidelines and The Australian Government guidelines on activity. "It is also important, in view of preventing or delaying diabetes, to reduce your weight, particularly if carried around your waistline. Doing this enables insulin function to be better thus keeping blood glucose levels down and even keeping them within the normal range. Food choices and exercise can help with reducing people’s waistline," Wendy says. She says that screening for diabetes, as recommended by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, is (if you are

at increased risk and 40 years and over,) to have a fasting blood glucose check or glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) done threeyearly or if someone has impaired glucose intolerance or impaired fasting glucose (prediabetes) to have a check annually.
"As people get older, we tend to check fasting blood glucose annually when checking for cholesterol levels and kidney checks. It is part of general screening to monitor for the development of chronic health conditions," Wendy says. There may not be any obvious symptoms of diabetes, Wendy says, hence blood tests are done regularly. "There are some symptoms to look out for and these include increased thirst, passing more urine, feeling tired and fatigued. This tiredness can be quite significant, an example is that you fall asleep easily. Another sign of diabetes is that people generally don’t feel well, Wendy says. "People can also have blurred vision and in some cases weight loss." See the Brooke Street Medical Centre advertisement this page for more information or contact your own doctor. You can join in on Facebook live for the Heads Together forum on Tuesday July 13 from 7pm – 8.30pm. It will be Australia’s biggest online discussion about mental health and diabetes stigma.

Type 2 diabetes impacts 1.2 million Australians, but only a third of the general community admit to being worried about developing the condition. A recently released survey reveals that Australians living with type 2 diabetes are not aware of the severe impact of chronic kidney disease, despite one in two people with diabetes developing chronic kidney disease. Research has also revealed low awareness of heart failure even though people living with diabetes are almost 28 per cent more likely to die from the condition. More education and support is needed for people with diabetes says Diabetes Australia. This includes mental health support as a person with diabetes often experiences stigma when they are blamed for having diabetes, or while managing diabetes such as injecting insulin in public. It is this mental health and wellbeing that Diabetes Australia is focusing on for this year's National Diabetes Week (July 11-17) campaign. But who is more prone to diabetes in the first place? Can we indeed do anything to avoid it? Woodend's Brooke Street Medical Centre credentialed diabetes educator, Wendy Shepherdley, says that if someone has a family history of diabetes or are older, had gestational diabetes, are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander or come from some cultural backgrounds, there may not be a great deal that can be done to prevent them from developing Type 2 diabetes. "There are other risk factors for developing diabetes such as increased weight, decreased activity, elevated blood pressure and cholesterol too," Wendy says. But medical assistance might be able to delay diabetes for those at increased risk of developing diabetes. "For other people, lifestyle changes can be made to reduce the possibility of developing diabetes," Wendy says. "People can consider doing two and a half hours (150 minutes) a week of an exercise they enjoy. "The 150 minutes can be 30 minutes over five days, or a shorter time exercising every day, or incorporating a couple of bigger walks on the weekend.

The fact that no NSW Rural Fire Service members or residents of the village were killed or injured, and there was only limited loss of property, stands as a testament to the dedication, courage and leadership displayed by Captain Hornbuckle. Captain Nicholas Hornbuckle is a worthy recipient of the Commissioner’s Certificate of Commendation.

Newham born and bred Nick Hornbuckle has been honoured with a NSW Rural Fire Service commendation for his leadership during the devastating 2019 summer bushfires that swept around the Canberra region. Nick, who attended Newham Primary School until grade four and then went on to Braemar College, is currently captain of the Queanbeyan Rural Fire Service, a voluntary position he has held now for several years. Nick is still a current member of Newham CFA where he began his volunteer firefighting service when he was 16 years old. He still 'turns out' with Newham when he's back visiting his old stomping ground. The award was given to Nick recently to mark St Florians Day, the national day of firefighters world-wide named after their patron saint. Here's what the honour roll said of Nick, who, during weeks of firefighting in total that summer, was based for many hours in the town of Nerriga while it was surrounded on all sides by towering walls of fire whipped up by gale-force winds.

Hop to it and do wildlife rescue Eve Lamb People keen to help injured native wildlife are about to get a great chance to do just that. A wildlife rescuers' and transporters' course delivered through Wildlife Victoria is coming up next month and Mount Alexander and Macedon Ranges locals are being encouraged to take part. "We're desperately short of rescuers and transporters in our area," says longtime wildlife rescuer, Maldon's Ian Slattery. He will be among the experienced wildlife rescuers who will share practical insights into what these vital volunteer roles entail. "It's challenging but highly rewarding," Ian says. "It's a real opportunity for people to make a difference. "This is for people who have a genuine interest in becoming a rescuer or transporter. "One important point to make is that if people want to start rescuing they'll have a lot of support from existing rescuers in the region. "You start the real learning in the field and there are people there to help you on the ground. "We also need people who are able to transport animals to vets, shelters or carers once they have been rescued." Set for Saturday August 14 at Bendigo Neighbourhood Hub in Strathdale, the day-long course will cover rescue techniques for species common in the region. Nikki Medwell of Elphinstone's Red Box Wildlife Shelter says too often people really want to help injured wildlife but don't have the confidence to act on their compassion. "This course aims to empower the public to be a first responder for our wildlife" she says. Bookings are required as places are limited with registrations able to be made at www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/ rescue-and-transport-training-registration and the course fee used to cover costs.

Ken McKimmie and Larina Strauch with their new book, Kyneton from past to present.
Past to present New book details Kyneton’s history
There is plenty to discover about Kyneton's past and who better to tell it than the town's local historians? More than five years in the making, Ken McKimmie and Larina Strauch have detailed it in Kyneton from past to present. Kyneton's European history began shortly after Major Mitchell's journey through the area in 1836 when he declared that the area was a pastoral paradise. In the later part of the 1830s the squatters arrived, taking up enormous runs and populating them with huge herds of sheep and cattle, and at the same time dispossessing and dispersing the indigenous tribes. When gold was discovered to the north in 1851, Kyneton virtually changed overnight from a fledging village to a busy bustling town with substantial buildings, supplying the needs of thousands of diggers travelling to and from the goldfields. The arrival of the railway line in the ear-

ly 1860s was another catalyst for change and brought about major internal change to the town with the rise of Mollison Street at the expense of Piper and High Streets. With the gold rush in the past, Kyneton developed as an agricultural centre and as an industrial and business hub, changes that have continued to the present day. This book uses more than 400 images to visually document the changes that have occurred at different locations and to different institutions throughout Kyneton and district over the past 180 plus years. Each chapter is built around a series of historical and contemporary images supported by research. If you would like to purchase a copy of Kyneton from past to present ($50 and $15 postage) contact the Kyneton Historical Society on 0418 545 648 or call in to their headquarters on a Tuesday 9.30am1pm or Saturday from 9.30am-2pm at 75 Piper Street, Kyneton.

Deciding to desex your pet Are you the proud new owner of a puppy, kitten or rescued friend? One of the most important health decisions you will have to make for your new family member is to desex them. The team at Gisborne Veterinary Clinic highly recommends desexing (castration or speying). The procedures for both male and female animals are completed by the highly skilled team members of the nursing and veterinarian crew while the animal is under general anaesthetic. The age at which your pet should be desexed can vary between breeds. As a guideline, cats and smaller breeds of dogs are more frequently desexed at around six months of age while the larger dog breeds are desexed when they attain their full bone growth. Desexing your pet can be discussed with your veterinarian at your animal's vaccinations, which are usually completed before six months of age. If you have adopted an older pet that is still entire (not desexed), a full health check-up should be completed before any surgical procedures. If you are considering breeding your dog, it is important to be aware of what is involved with pregnancy in animals. It is important to also know what signs to look out for if your pet is having trouble giving birth. If you would like any more information regarding desexing of your pet, contact the team at the Gisborne Veterinary Clinic on 5428 2805.

Young Y oung s supporters upporters s show how b big ig h heart eart
Gisborne Gi b SES members b have h been b overwhelmed with community support since storms ravaged the region last month and some of their youngest fans have shown the biggest heart. A group of local children recently rallied to raise funds through a bake sale and chores for people in their neighbourhood. Gisborne SES's Ross Evans said the unit had seen an outpouring of community kindness, from regular financial supporters to local businesses that put set up a tab for coffees, and local residents stopping to say 'thanks'. Bendigo Bank recently donated $1500 to both the Gisborne SES and fire brigade. The local children's efforts were an added surprise. "The support that we have seen has been overwhelming to say the least," Mr Evans said. "And when we thought we had seen all of that wonderful community spirit, we received a message from one of our newest members, Kristen, who's children, along with others in the neighbourhood, had raised money as a 'thank you' to the SES. "It was young Annie, 7, who came up with the idea to raise money and enlisted the local kids to help." The crew was so heartened by the gesture,
Gisborne SES members Marcus Lisle, Kristen Kerr, Tori Collins, Mike Bagnall, Ross Sapwell, Noel Theodore, Ross Evans and mascot Smudge, met with some of their youngest fans to thank them for their support (Ross Evans and Noel Theodore not pictured). members organised a special visit to thank them in person. The visit was also a chance for the children to see the crew's equipment, learn more about the SES and the June storms. The crew was also pleased to meet another young fan recently.
After seeing the efforts of local SES crews during the recent storms, young Xavier, from Gisborne Primary School, wanted to dress as an SES member for the school's 'When I grow up' dress-up day. Gisborne SES members were happy to lend him an outfit for the occasion.
Storm recovery support
Hepburn and Macedon Ranges are among 10 councils to share in $8.2 million from the state government to help recovery from last month's catastrophic storms and floods. The Council Support Fund will ensure these councils have the recovery staff and expertise they need on the ground, helping dedicated local teams to coordinate and drive recovery efforts. The fund is designed to boost recovery capabilities within councils so activities like impact assessment and community engagement can be undertaken by community members who live in and understand their local areas. It can be used to employ additional recovery staff, on-board specialist contractors and provide targeted training support to help local communities recover.
Farm Safety Week 18th - 24th July 2021
Farm safety comes first
for this generation of farmers, but the next one to come. “In 2019 there were 133 on-farm injuries and 58 on-farm fatalities. “Australian farmers only make up 2.6 per cent of Australia’s workforce, but they count for 21 per cent of workplace fatalities. I believe we can do better and must continue to work hard to improve these statistics. “These grants will provide the means for our agricultural industry and other organisations to come together to help reduce the risks and instances of farm fatalities and accidents. “The risks are different across farming systems and commodities, but there is a lot of great research and solutions being developed across the country that we can expand on or leverage. “This is about getting people to come together and think differently about the ways they work to come up with innovative projects and solutions to a nationwide problem.” For eligibility, terms and conditions, guidelines and application forms, visit: GrantConnect and Community Grants Hub websites. Applications close July 28.

A federal safety standard now applies to all quad bikes (general use, sports and youth models) with additional requirements for general use quad bikes (commonly known as utility quad bikes) coming in from October 11. Exempt from the standard are second-hand quad bikes only, except for second-hand quad bikes imported into Australia. Worksafe Victoria says you should look for these three things when buying a quad bike: * Check there’s a sticker on it that warns users of the risk of rollover * Check the owner’s manual has similar information about the risk of rollover * Check there is a yellow tag attached to the quad bike that shows the angle at which the quad bike will roll over on a slope; the higher the number, the more stable the quad. From October 11, new and second-hand imported utility quad bikes must meet a minimum level of stability, and come with an Operator Protection Device. OPDs help to protect you from being trapped under the quad bike if it rolls over. (Information provided by Worksafe Victoria)

Applications are open for the National Farm Safety Education Fund: Improving Farm Safety Practices grants program. The program aims to increase awareness of farm safety and develop educational tools and training to reduce the likelihood of on-farm accidents. Up to $1.6 million has been committed in funding. The Australian Government has opened applications for up to $1.6 million in grants for activities that improve farm safety outcomes across Australia. Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud said increasing safety awareness and training to save lives on farms was a critical national issue. “Unfortunately, one in five workplace fatalities happen on a farm,” Mr Littleproud said. “Finding ways to get safety messaging out there on to farms is paramount to saving lives and improving health and safety. “These grants will go to projects that deliver well-designed, fit-for-purpose and adaptable safety training and education. “They will be a game-changer, not just

FINANCIAL MATTER$ IT’S ALMOST TIME TO SUBMIT YOUR 2020 / 2021 TAX RETURN.
Tax time is scam time A new email impersonation scam is doing the rounds. The fake emails claim to be from “myGov” and include screen shots of the myGovID app. The email asks people to click a link to verify their identity using a “secure form” which takes them to a fake myGov page requesting personal identifying information and banking details. The Australian Taxation Office is warning that the myGovID is an app that can be used to prove who you are when accessing government online services. ATO systems, myGov, and myGovID have not been compromised. ATO Assistant Commissioner Ben Foster says this new phishing scam contains classic warning signs that it is not legitimate, for example, asking people to click a link to confirm their details and spelling errors. “The ATO and myGov does send emails and SMS messages, however will never send you an email or SMS with a hyperlink directing you to a login page for our online services,” Mr Foster says. “In tax time, we expect to see more of these malicious attempts to harvest identity details. So we encourage everyone to be on alert and take the time to remind family and friends to be on the lookout and stay safe online.” Mr Foster confirmed that this scam was all about collecting personal information from victims rather than gaining access to live information via myGov or myGovID. Scams are becoming more sophisticated, and people should be wary of emails asking for identity documents or personal identifying information. If you’ve opened an email that looks suspicious, don’t click any links, open any attachments or reply to it. If you‘ve received the suspicious email and provided your myGov sign in information you should take immediate action. Change your myGov password and if you’ve provided your banking details, contact your bank.
If you’re still concerned and require extra support you can call Services Australia’s Scams and Identity Theft Helpdesk on 1800 941 126 Monday to Friday, 8am-5pm. If you receive an SMS or email that looks like it’s from myGov, but it contains a link or appears suspicious, you can report it to ScamWatchExternal Link. Lists of the latest ATO and Services Australia scam alerts and more information about how to identify and report impersonation scams are available at ato.gov.au/scams and servicesaustralia.gov.au/scams
Your first-time steps to tax success
The Australian Taxation Office is guiding first-time lodgers on some simple things they can do right now to make lodgement quick, secure and easy at tax time. “Tax may seem daunting, but it doesn’t need to be,” Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh says. “There’s a lot of information out there about tax, so we’ve provided some basic steps to help you get started. The best advice for first-time lodgers is to be prepared – whether you choose to use the services of a registered tax agent or lodge your own return.” 1. Check whether you need to lodge a return “As a general rule, you’ll need to lodge if you’ve had tax taken out of your pay or
earned over $18,200 during the financial year,” Mr Loh says. “You’ll need to either lodge your own return or get on the books of a registered tax agent by October. 31 If you lodge yourself, myTax is the way to go. Most people with simple tax affairs can lodge in under halfan-hour, with most refunds received in less than two weeks.” If you’re unsure of whether you need to lodge a return, the ATO’s ‘Do I need to lodge’ tool will help you work that out. You can access the tool through the ATO website. If you don’t need to lodge, simply let the ATO know by submitting a non-lodgment advice (through ATO online services in your myGov account). 2. Track down your Tax File Number (TFN)

Your TFN is your personal identifier for tax and superannuation purposes; it’s an important part of your identity. “It’s yours for life, even if you change your name, job, or where you live. It will stay the same – so it’s important to keep it secure,” Mr Loh says. “Not sure what your TFN is? You can find it on documents such as super statements or ATO letters. You can also find your TFN in ATO online services accessed through your myGov account.” You would have provided your TFN, among other details, to your employer when you started work in a TFN declaration – this is used by your employer to determine how much tax to withhold from your pay. “If you don’t have a TFN, you can apply by filling in the form on our website and booking an appointment at a participating Australia Post outlet. It’s completely free.” 3. Create a myGov account and link it to the ATO If you decide to lodge your return yourself, then you’ll need to set up a myGov account if you haven’t already. Your myGov account opens the door to a range of Australian Government services, including the ATO. All you need is a secure email address. Remember, each my-
Gov account must have a different email address and don’t share your login details with anyone. Protect your myGov account as if it were your bank account. You can now connect your myGov account using the flexible and secure myGovIDExternal Link app. 4. Lodge your return “A common mistake we see when people lodge their returns is leaving out important information, such as income from dividends or your private health insurance information, which can slow down your return,” Mr Loh says. Whether you lodge yourself or with a registered tax agent, by late July, information from employers, banks, health funds, government agencies and more, will automatically be added to your tax return. If you want to lodge earlier, before this information is ready, you must take extra care to add all your income. “Another mistake we see that can set you back is forgetting to keep receipts for any deductions you want to claim.” The most common deductions are expenses directly related to earning your income, such as steel capped boots for construction workers. You can also claim charitable donations you make to deductible gift recipients.

Your OPINIONS
Kyneton continually forgotten Neil Pharaoh, Kyneton I am beginning to wonder whether Kyneton has been left off all the Macedon Ranges Shire Council maps – it has been almost 30 years since the Kyneton highway bypass was built, and during that time, despite endless consultations, multiple studies, endless promises, the council has done absolutely nothing to upgrade the streetscape of the town centre. No making walkways wider, no pedestrian crossing points, no street beautifications, not even a pot plant. We are now again in another 'Kyneton Town Centre Urban Design Framework' to “set a vision” and “give concepts to improve the amenity and appearance of streetscapes” and provide “access and movement plans” – why doesn’t the council actually commit money to the project as opposed to another 'concept'. Almost every other major bypass in Victoria has resulted in the town main street being upgraded – Gisborne was bypassed five years after Kyneton (2000), and has had street upgrades. Woodend was 2001, and again, has had street precincts upgraded. Just like the traffic light in the centre of town, which hasn’t had its sequencing updated since the bypass, when will MRSC remember that Kyneton is the second largest town in the shire and actually spend some money locally? Maybe next council election we need to run a Kyneton First ticket? Win or lose it may remind council that a town of 7000 plus still exists.
Please fully inform us Marjorie Stancombe, Castlemaine In the July 6 Midland Express, there is an article concerning the proposed bioenergy plant for Castlemaine. As this proposal is something that will have an effect on the whole community, I was disappointed by the lack of transparency in the article, and on their mentioned website. The initial draft diagram of the proposed bioenergy facility was unfortunately illegible, we cannot imagine the size of the project. Using phrases such as 'pyrolysis and gasification' and 'syngas and biochar' are not self-explanatory to the majority of shire residents. Why isn’t the Q&A fact sheet posted onto the group’s website, instead of interested parties having to request it? What will be the increased volume of traffic through Castlemaine and in the area? I hope that before the Mount Alexander Sustainability Group takes this proposal further, residents will be fully informed with in-depth details of the proposal so we can make a decision on whether or not this plant is good for our area. Before we have a proper public debate on the matter, please fully inform us with all the details.
Smooth promises Karen Yates, Castlemaine While Mount Alexander Sustainability Group/Mount Alexander Bioenergy seek grants, funding and waste providers to come on board for their major waste proposal, the community has little knowledge of what is about to take place. While they source garbage from around the state to be trucked into Castlemaine, and the facility is up and running, gasifying/burning DON KR plastics, chemically treated cardboard etc., they hope to sell off 95 per cent of the business maintaining a five per cent share. A five per cent share that will potentially reap financial benefits for their organisation, while no longer hav-

ing control of what will be dumped and gasified in Castlemaine. All the smooth promises of only clean waste, can simply not be guaranteed. All the smooth promises of waste providers being held to agreed upon regulations, can simply not be guaranteed. All the smooth promises of no pollution or toxic emissions, can simply not be guaranteed. There is a better way, a cleaner, greener way. Green waste collected in shires all over Victoria makes its way to Stanhope Biomix facility, where it is turned into the most valuable compost that is used in farms, vineyards, schools, parks and gardens. They employ six full-time staff, that work the conveyer belts, picking out metals, plastics, cans etc. that has been put into the green waste bins, while also using a million dollar machine that sucks out plastic shopping bags etc. This should be the green solution to our green waste. The facility in Stanhope is a shining example of returning our green waste back to nature.
Burning waste not the answer Richard Yates, Castlemaine Burning waste to produce a small amount of energy for one consumer, does nothing to solve our recycling issues. There are better ways, such as having our organic waste collected and taken to create beautiful, safe compost, something other shires are already doing in Victoria. Once this facility is in operation, it will actually create a demand for more waste and a loss of Green recycling, which is happening all over Europe: some shires are actually discouraging residents from recycling as they need all the waste than can get to keep the facility operating. MAB, Mount Alexander BioEnergy, is seeking commitments from all over central/ northern Victoria for sewage and waste to bring to Castlemaine, this is not the Green solution to our waste problem we as a community should expect.
Significant loss of amenity Courtney Sayer, Kyneton I’m writing in regards to the redevelopment of the old hospital site, advertised in the last two editions of the Midland Express. As a local resident in the area, I am in strong objection to the proposed plans that will cause a significant loss of amenity to the local residents as well as patrons of the peaceful Campaspe River Walk if approved. Despite the developers speaking on numerous occasions to the media suggesting that there would be community consultation of the design, this has not happened to the knowledge of myself or the local residents most impacted by the proposed plans. There has been no communication from Embracia in the lead up to the application, except a 'strategic' Christmas card (thanks, but no thanks). Strange, considering their apparent deep concern for the community and their want to 'harmonise' the development within the local neighbourhood. The proposal itself presents a significant loss of amenity on multiple fronts. Buildings scaling over 12 metres high, more than 80 per cent of the semi-rural land being developed into buildings, removal of all vegetation from the site, substantial noise generation to a quiet and peaceful corner of town, a disregard for the character of the area and little information regarding the treatment of culturally sensitive parts of the allotment and environmental impact. Despite many in the community speaking with Embracia about the preservation of
the walkway through the allotment (previously the extension of Simpson Street), which has been in use and maintained by the community for more than 70 years, this has been completely ignored. The plans also propose a prohibited use of the Old Hospital building. How a proposal of such can be put forward in a Neighbourhood Residential Zone, on a site of both significant heritage and cultural bearing, escapes me. I strongly urge the councillors to consider if this development is appropriate.
We are better than this Niels Zahle, Baringhup The refugees walked under the watchful eyes of the small fishing village. From their railway station to the hotel which had been commandeered by the Germans as their place to stay. The refugees were dressed in rags. Although it was now early summer they all wore long woollen overcoats. Their big pockets took the overflow of what could not fit in the suitcases they carried. The year was 1944, four years after the Germans had occupied Denmark. The Danes thought they hated the Germans, but when they saw the people walking past, they did not see them as refugees, but as people needing help. Many of the onlookers cried. Now in 2021, nearly eighty years later, we are seeing through the media two parents and their children, Australian born, seeking asylum to live their lives in freedom. Perhaps we will see all refugees as the Danes saw the people walking past in 1944. It is time the Australian government stopped hiding the refugees away and stopped using them as hostages to a supposed people smuggling situation. Our government lies when it calls these people "illegal" immigrants. We signed up to a United Nations convention after the war, which gives any person the right to seek asylum in any country. It is past time we helped all refugees in Australia to settle here or resettle elsewhere with support and dignity. We should demand this of our government. We as people are better than this.

In spite of the COVID pandemic, the population of planet Earth increases. And, as it heats up due to global warming, so does the battle for its resources at the expense of our precious environment. In Klukwa Alaska, miners want to dig for gold and other precious metals at the expense of the salmon and tourist industries. In Mongolia, on the edge of the Gobi Desert, they want to frack deep into the sand for uranium. Closer to home, miners in Hepburn, Yandoit and Castlemaine, want to dig over our forests, farms and grazing land once again for gold. In all cases, the authorities, who also stand to gain from this mining, are bending over backwards to help them. Our Great Barrier Reef now suffering from recent bleaching due to the warming of the oceans, has been on the World Heritage List for 40 years. For the first time in the history of World Heritage Sites, UNESCO has categorised our reef as 'In Danger'. While many of us are happy about this, incredulously, our government is opposed to this listing. I think this is a foolish move on the part of the Australian Government. The World Heritage Convention is a legal document and Australia, as a signatory, has a legal obligation 'to protect, conserve and transmit to future generations the outstanding universal value of the Great Barrier Reef'. If you disagree strongly with this statement by our government as I do, please write to this publication and your local MP.

Thompson Foundry Band members have fun farewelling Bill Priestley (second from left in the front row) last week.
Tim Ellen Angela Crawford Lynda Brew
Veteran musician and Castlemaine identity, Bill Priestley, has played his final tenor horn notes with the Thompson Foundry Band. At rehearsal in recent days, Bill announced that his 90th birthday seemed an appropriate time to retire. After expressing appreciation of Bill's service to the band and to music, bandmaster Dan Bendrups asked everyone to gather around Bill for a photo. Bill's horn playing began at age seven with the Yackandandah Citizens Band. Many Castlemainians appreciated Bill as a teacher at their technical school from 1965-82 with part-time teaching to follow at Daylesford and Kyneton. Invited to choose a tune to conclude the rehearsal, Bill selected Georgia, played "New Orleans style".

Help to flex those mental muscles Mount Alexander Shire Council is encouraging the local business community to get along to a new workshop program aimed at helping people develop practical tools for managing their own mental health. The program is called Mindfit at Work and delivers a series of monthly sessions that each explore a different aspect of mental health and wellbeing. The next session - entitled Build Mental Muscles - is being held online from 7pm– 8.30pm this evening, Tuesday July 13. The cost is $10 and the session will explore neuroplasticity, the nervous system, and how to read the warning signs for personal stress triggers. Council’s economic development officer, Eva Parkin, said the program was about equipping local businesses with skills to not only survive, but thrive. “We all want to be able to perform at our best when we’re working, and these workshops are really useful at unpacking some of the negative thinking and patterns of behaviour that can stop us from enjoying work,” Ms Parkin said. “The feedback from participants who
attended our first session in May was overwhelmingly positive, so I encourage anyone thinking of attending our July workshop, to book early to avoid disappointment.” Pam Oxley from Oxley Feed Mills in Strangways attended the first Mindfit at Work session, Stinking Thinking, in May and said she found the experience beneficial. “The past year has been an incredibly challenging one for all of us here at Oxley Feed Mill,” Ms Oxley said. “We were lucky enough to be able to continue working and follow the strict COVIDSafe rules, but it has left us feeling exhausted and drained. “The workshop taught us some thought provoking, self-analysis techniques to help us change our mindset to a more positive, empowered one. “Using the techniques that we learnt at the workshop will help us overcome the feelings that have lingered since last year, and help us work together in a positive way for a productive outcome,” Ms Oxley said.

Hot Seat wins again
Narrow win: Maldon-trained outsider Hot Seat (No. 13), ridden by Alana Kelly, holds off Queen of Rocks at Ballarat. Photo: Reg Ryan/Racing Photos
Bill West
Seven-year-old Hot Seat is probably the favourite galloper in Brian and Ashley McKnight’s stables at Maldon. At Ballarat last week, the seven-year-old produced his best form to score his sixth race win at his 50th start, taking career earnings to $137,935. Ashley McKnight gave all the credit to in-form apprentice Alana Kelly for the win in the Hygain Winners Choice BM58 Handicap over 1400m, the first time the sprinter has raced over this distance. The trainer said he’s “a funny old horse and he’s probably a bit quirky” but he may preserve with him over this or a slightly longer distance in future runs. The well-bred galloper by Star Witness was purchased for $14,000, with Kelly riding him to victory three times. Kelly has been in great form this season, and followed up with a double at Caulfield on Saturday – a day highlighted by Jamie Kah becoming the first Melbourne jockey to top 100 metropolitan winners in a season in Victoria. Kah, a winner of the South Australian jockeys’ title three times, now rides for many of the leading trainers and has the best strike rate of the top riders in Victoria. The McKnights are bringing several more gallopers back into work this week.
Cricket leaders re-elected
Gisborne District Cricket Association largely re-elected its leadership team at the annual meeting last week. Stalwart Rob McIntyre continues as president, with Chris Large (Woodend) again vicepresident and Simon Overden secretary. Life member Kevin Sullivan retains the treasurer’s position for a 42nd season. Callum Jackson, Kelly Shinn and Richard Bayly were re-elected to the board. Emmaliese Goodchild has a strong passion for improving female cricket participation in the region, and joins the board for the first time. She is a former Gisborne women’s team member.
Long trip pays off
First win for Mystery Diamond. Photo: David Thorpe/Racing Photos
Kyneton trainer Marita Lawson’s perseverance paid off when Mystery Diamond broke through for a narrow win at Wodonga races on Sunday. It was the four-year-old mare’s first victory in 20 starts, but recent form indicated she was a good chance after second placings at Wodonga and Bendigo, and a fourth at Echuca. The long trip from Kyneton paid off when Mystery Diamond – a $5 chance – responded to strong riding from Patrick Moloney to hold off War Games in a tight finish in the 1300m Happy Birthday Brady Douglas BM 0—58 event.

GOLF results Kyneton The final of the Marj Sutherland Memorial women’s doubles knocked produced a close contest at Kyneton last week. Robyn MacRae and Denise Murphy (pictured) held on to edge out Jenny McSwain and Liz Turang on the 18th hole. Grace Parkinson 99-27-72 was in good form on Tuesday, taking out the July medal and B-grade, with Murphy 90-16-74 the A-grade winner. Julie Harris and Murphy were NTPs. Wednesday’s stableford from the white tees went to Terry Gamble (7 handicap) with 37 points, from Noel Alldis (13) on 36. NTPs were Tony Donovan (Trentham) and Maxine Martin. Saturday stableford (49 players): Terry Gamble (7) topped A-grade with 32 points, from Glen Cook (9) on 31.

The three grade winners were Tony Littleman (handicap 13) with 39 points on a countback from Paul Burrows, Kevin Taylor (20) 38, and Peter Semmens (25) 36. Trevor Atkins and Ian Gill were 2&1 victors in the pairs matchplay semi-final against Mick Doyle and Jerome Landmaid.

Romsey A week with some freezing conditions, two very heavy frosts, but importantly no rain, meant Romsey park had dried out to a degree. A wonderful job by John Freestone to mow all fairways bar the sixth (too wet) encouraged a good field to hit off in the stroke event on Saturday. Conditions were such that no-one played close to their handicap. Chris Burkett 93-18-75 took the honours from Marc Merigan 90-14-76. A small group of dedicated players braved the elements to play in a Par 3 event last Wednesday. An adapted course, with tees moved forward to make every hole a par 3, proved challenging.

Roll R oll u up p ffor or billiards billiards c club lub Eve Lamb
Castlemaine Billiards and Snooker Club hopes to chalk up some new members and is inviting everyone to roll up to its two open days this month. "Over the past few years table sports have been in steady decline and being an indoor sport, restrictions have severely affected our activities and decreased the number of participants," the club's president Pearse Casey says. "We really want to turn this around." The club has its facilities at the Wesley Hill sports complex, including three fullsized billiards tables plus all equipment. Members don't even need to own a billiard cue. "We're the best-kept secret in Castlemaine," says club member Helen McGeachin, one of CBSC's three female members and Bendigo Billiards and Snooker Association Ladies Single Handed Snooker Champion 2019 and 2021. Pearse says the Castlemaine club dates all the way back to 1932, welcomes everyone, and is especially keen to attract a new generation of young players.
young male "Our members are old old, young, and female alike and we cater for all skill levels and abilities or disabilities," he says. "There is no junior competition at present but this something we're aiming to change. "We'd really like to see parents come to the club with their children so we can start to grow." The club hosts its public open days this Sunday July 18, and the following Sunday July 25 from midday to 3pm. "Just turn up and we'll have somebody to give you a cue, put you on a table, and show you what to do," Pearse says. "It's an amazing facility," Helen says. Pearse says everyone of any ability, including those who have never picked up a cue before, can expect to be warmly welcomed by the club that's also open to the public Friday and Sunday evenings. "Come and have a frame," the club president says. "We've got an internal competition that goes through the year. It's a handicapped competition so people of all abilities can compete."

SPORTS wrap Bombers and Saints ascend ladder
The ladder got a shake up in the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League last weekend with some big wins seeing sides move up the table.

percentage points separating them this Saturday's match up between the Lions and the Saints at the den will certainly be one to watch! Newstead also had a good win over Royal Park. The Steaders led by 13 points after an even first term but went on with the job after that keeping the Tigers' goalless for the next two quarters. Royal Park regrouped in the final term to kick five goals but could not bridge the gap and the Roos ran out deserving winners by 82 points.

Saints tune up with 49 goals The Sainter

Cats turn on master class Bill West
No-one saw it coming. The football match between Macedon and Woodend-Hesket on Saturday was expected to be closely fought with the Hawks the only side to have toppled Macedon this season. The sun shone, the Tony Clarke ground surface was in really good condition, and the brand of football was top shelf from the Cats who demolished the disappointing Hawks to the tune of 98 points. After a tight match against Riddell, and then putting up a good showing against ladder-leader Wallan, the Hawks failed to fire. They could not control the positional play, ball movement, and scoring avenues opened up by the Cats who were switched on from the first bounce with a five goals to one first term. Jason Cooke, 2017 Bowen Medal winner at Cats’ premiership player, was superb, finishing with eight goals in a final tally of 21.11. Thinking about Cooke in full flight may well give opposition defenders plenty of sleepless nights! Arguably he’s a better player now than in 2017. Macedon coach Al Meldrum must have been extremely pleased with what he saw, thinking about finals in September, with the Cats in second place. It doesn’t get any easier for Woodend-Hesket, now facing up to a revitalised Diggers Rest at Gilbert Gordon Reserve on Saturday. Former Essendon defender Tayte Pears was named as the Hawks’ best. What must have been worrying for Woodend-Hesket was the side’s second half – a miserable four points as the Cats compiled 10.8 with the confidence level ris-
ing and a bye this weekend. On a brighter note for the Hawks, the Reserves side had a big win and sits in third spot on the ladder, with the double chance a real prospect. HOW DID WE LOSE? That’s the question perplexed Riddell supporters were throwing around after the Bombers were overrun in the last quarter by a Diggers Rest side which had been restricted to just three goals in the first three quarters. These two sides have a keen rivalry, and after three quarters the Bombers looked to be ‘past the post’. How things can change. Throwing caution to the wind in what had been a low scoring, hard contest, Diggers Rest revived in no uncertain manner and scored 5.6 to a solitary goal and secure an vital eight-point win to climb into fourth spot on the ladder. Earlier in the season Riddell won this clash by four goals, and on Saturday they face up to Wallan in the match of the round. Tom Gleeson, usually a defender, showed his versatility with four goals for the Diggers, who celebrated life member and dual premiership player Cole Laurie’s 250th club game. Fifth-placed Romsey won by 73 points at home to Melton Centrals, with Jack Jedwab leading the scoring spree with six goals. This Saturday Romsey heads north to play traditional rival Lancefield, fresh from keeping the classy Wallan brigade to three goals in the first half before the Magpies slammed on 17 goals to a solitary point in the second half. Dangerous Magpies’ forward Corey Grindlay finished with nine majors, a career best, and Matt Perri kicked five to stay on top of Macedon’s Matthew Dick is tackled by his Woodend-Hesket opponent.

Netball round-up Significant victories to Riddell and Macedon highlighted RDFNL A-grade netball matches on Saturday. With top spot the prize, a well-organised Riddell combination downed Diggers Rest 49-45 in a match that was close throughout. Macedon moved into third spot on the ladder with a clinical 54-33 victory over Woodend-Hesket, unsettled with injury problems. The Cats established an early lead, winning every quarter and have their eyes on the double. Ace shooter Chloe Wilson scored 45 goals from 50 shots. Wallan toppled Lancefield 48-32, and Romsey went agonisingly close to an overdue win as Melton Centrals prevailed 38-36. Scores in other grades were: B: Macedon 52 d Woodend-Hesket 28, Diggers Rest 33 d Riddell 19, Wallan 42 d Lancefield 19, Centrals 52 d Romsey 30.

Tiger netballers battle hard
Sunny conditions greeted Kyneton netballers in Bendigo on Saturday, but the superior home sides made it hard for the Tigers to get substantial scores on the board. South Bendigo won all five matches but the Tigers never stopped trying. With key players away and injured, Kyneton A-grade welcomed the return of Steph Penning to defence, with A Reserve players Lauren Angwin and Katelin backing up for a second game. Many positional moves were made with goal defence Ash Feehan taking great intercepts, and Rachelle Mangan working exceptionally well in the goal circle. It was 50-21 at siren time. A Reserve: A week of depleted numbers had B-grade and U17s stepping up to assist. Karlie Plowman made her debut shooting well, and Charli Copeland Tegan Butler, Emily Barbour and Angwin excelling in defence to keep opponents accountable. B-grade: A much-improved effort by the Tigers since their last match against South. Ash O’Gara was best on court, Lily Nolte worked hard and Miriam McIntyre was exceptional as goalkeeper with the final tally 48-28. B-Reserve: A very physical game with South shooters right on target. Millie Clifford worked hard in wing defence and the entire team worked well as a cohesive unit. Juliette Sullivan took the incentive award, being versatile and working hard despite a 79-25 final scoreline. U17s: Too many unforced errors put Kyneton on the backfoot, but to their credit the girls knuckled down and restrict the opposition to a 55-30 margin, with Lauren Girvan earning the incentive award for her relentless work in defence.
FIDA contest
Kyneton’s FIDA team produced a real contest from go to whoa against Bendigo on Sunday. In one of their closest matches of the season, the FIDA Tigers’ team is consistently improving. The coach described it as “their best game of the season” with standout performances from Hall, Mitchell, Pethybridge, Sturt and Kilner. Final score: Bendigo 13.8 (86) d Kyneton 8.7 (55).
Tight finish Gisborne women’s football team battled valiantly at Gardiner Reserve against third-placed Sunbury on Saturday, with scores close throughout. The home side linked up well through midfield to the forward line, and maintained intensity with an 11-point lead at the last change. Sunbury scored two quick goals, and held on to win 5.4 (34) to 5.3 (33). Gisborne’s goals came from C. Noonan, N. Dowdy, R.Watts, C. Prpic, and T. Mabey, with Prpic, M. Hayes, Noonan, Mabey, A. Parker and V. Balliro playing well. Now fifth on the ladder, Gisborne hopes to defeat Airport West this Saturday to keep finals hopes alive.

Spirit S pirit a and nd c celebration elebration
Bendigo Football Netball League women’s Indigenous round match between Kyneton and Eaglehawk at the weekend may have been one-sided, but it was played in good spirit and served as a celebration of First Nations’ people in football and the contribution they have made to the game. It was a great way to end NAIDOC Week. The Tigers began well with a quick goal from Snell, but found themselves unable to match the opposition’s game built on hardness and pressure. There were plenty of good link ups with excellent performance from Williams, Schellekens and Savoia in the midfield. Van Dyk was awarded best afield and Kyneton’s player of the match with her ball skills and ability to run all day. Defenders battled hard with strong efforts from Love and Korinfsky, The match marked a 50-game milestone for Ash Wilson. Eaglehawk 13.15 (93) d Kyneton 1.0.(6).

Challenge Cup at Showgrounds
Traditional rivals Kyneton and Castlemaine will compete for the annual Challenge Cup on Saturday. It’s a day of football and netball at the Kyneton Showgrounds, with the Tigers and Magpies looking to renew old acquaintances. The Tigers and Magpies are not in contention for the senior finals, but there should still be some interest in their matches this weekend. Kyneton senior footballers put in a reasonable performance against fifth-placed South Bendigo on Saturday. The home side led throughout although the difference at half time was a respectable 14 points. South had a matchwinner in big key forward Kaiden Antonowicz who kicked 10 of his side’s 15 goals – a remarkable performance. The Tigers did not have answers to curtailing Antonowicz, and six goals to three in the third term stopped any hope of the Tigers causing an upset victory. Final score: South Bendigo 14.14 (104) d Kyneton 9.12 (66). See Kyneton’s goalkickers and best layers in scoreboard opposite page. Kyneton Reserves battled hard before going down 12.12 (84) to 4.4 (28). It was a different story in the Under 18s, where the Tigers monopolised the ball against struggling opposition, and only inaccuracy near goal prevented an even bigger victory than the 11.23 (89) to 2.1 (13) scoreline. Kyneton and Castlemaine will compete for the annual Challenge Cup on Saturday.
Bulldogs back on winning list
Keen to atone for a big loss to Strathfieldsaye, Gisborne senior footballers regrouped to defeat Kangaroo Flat by 90 points on Saturday. Now the big clash at Gardiner Reserve this Saturday sees the Bulldogs take on South Bendigo – a vital game between the fourth and fifth sides on the ladder. Against the Flat, Gisborne slammed on eight first quarter goals as both sides produced a physical brand of football. With a half time margin of 44 points, Gisborne continued to control the game with plenty of hard running. In the end, it was 23.20 to 10.8, with the winners having 11 different goalkickers. Trent Crosbie was in fine form, with the ultra consistent Ben Bernacki, Pat McKenna, Ben Eales, Jack Reaper and Sean Walsh also prominent. Gisborne Reserves welcomed back some experience and midfield depth, and monopolised the ball in the first term to keep their op-
ponents scoreless. The home side kept the ‘Dogs honest and battled hard, with Gisborne’s finishing leaving scope for improvement. The final margin of 32 points – 9.10 to 5.2 – was probably a fair reflection of the game. Best players were Michael Steinbach, Daniel Weaver, Jacob Ellings and Luke Weber. The Under 18s had just 20 players available, but counted on their fitness to overcome having just two on the interchange bench. Kangaroo Flat’s tackling rate kept them in the game early, but a god second term opening up a handy lead. Gisborne was reduced to 19 payers, and were left one short due to a send-off in the third term. Overall the young Bulldogs applied themselves in an admirable way, and while it may not have been their slickest performance It was one which tested their fitness and ability to take on challenges.
Best players were N. Ozanne, C. Flynn, S. Wilson, H. Sloss, C. Freake and R. Conolan. BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW It was a long drive home for Gisborne’s netball teams, with all losing to strong rivals Kangaroo Flat. In nail biting finishes, the A-grade and Under 17s were left lamenting by two and one goal respectively. It was the first defeat of the season for the talented U17s. Across the other grades, despite slightly wider margins, all had ‘finals feel’ and intensity with plenty of supporters to cheer both clubs on. Gisborne’s B-grade coach Polly Salter said Kangaroo Flat play a very physical and relentless game. “Unfortunately we couldn’t match that on the day," she said. "But this has been a real test of our composure and mettle as a team and will only make us stronger come finals time.”

Gisborne and District Cricket Association is introducing a number of key changes for what promises to be an exciting 2021-2022 season. President Rob McIntyre outlined some of the changes following the association’s annual meeting last week. A major move is getting rid of the bye in the GDCA’s premier grade, McIntyre Cup. In a bold move not only one, but three teams are to be elevated to the top grade from the second tier Johnstone Shield, namely Wallan, Rupertswood and Sunbury Kangaroos. The other seven McIntyre Cup clubs include powerhouse sides Bacchus Marsh (reigning premiers), and Gisborne (premiers in 2018-19 when all grand finals were cancelled). Most divisions will move from eight to 10 teams per division in 2021-2022. Local football/netball competitions have had to extend their current seasons due to the COVID-19 lockdown, with grand finals to be held over the AFL grand final weekend in late September. “With this in mind, the decision has been made to begin the senior GDCA season a week later than normal, on Saturday, October 9, to give councils more time to prepare grounds and pitches for the commencement of the new season,” McIntyre said. The top divisions will play a mixture of twoday/one-day cricket while the lower divisions will play a season of one-day matches. The fixtures will make provision for nine oneday matches and six two-day matches in top divisions. McIntyre Cup is to move from 40 overs to 45 overs in one day fixtures, with a 12.30pm start. MORE PROMOTION There’s also going to be the chance for more on-field promotion. Player names and numbers are now allowed on white and one-day playing shirts. More advertising is to be permitted on the front and back of playing shirts. Maybe an opportunity for political parties leading up to elections? Coloured playing shirts are to be allowed across all junior age groups, as well as player names and numbers.
