Castlemaine’s Marilyn (Mazza) Bennet has been named an OAM recipient among this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours. She is photographed here with son Glenn Bennet. Photo: Eve Lamb
Truth is we all get old, if we're lucky, so it's nice to know that someone like Marilyn Bennet is out there doing what she does. The prodigious amount of work that the longtime Castlemaine local pours into improving her community, and particularly the lot of seniors, has played a major role in her inclusion on this year's Queen's Birthday Honours list. "I think I said 'S...!' But you can't print that," chuckled Ms Bennet, who can now add the letters OAM after her name after receiving the honour for service to radio, and to the community. "I got quite a shock." The Order of Australia Medal comes as recognition for the lifetime's work that the radio broadcaster, publisher, longstanding Mount Alexander Shire Seniors Festival
committee member and current chair of the Positive Ageing Seniors Advocacy Group spends enriching her community. This includes plenty of proactive advocacy and lobbying to ensure the lives of all residents in her community are connected and happy, particularly so as people move into their latter years. The ways in which Ms Bennet – or Mazza as she is known to many – has done this are myriad and range from reviving the local seniors' festival in 2018, to authoring, co-authoring and publishing multiple books, to founding the Harcourt Heritage Centre. This latter achievement also led to making the very first Harcourt Apple Festival a reality in 1992. Often working alongside her longtime partner in life and publishing, radio veteran Ian Braybrook, Ms Bennet has also

contributed countless hours to ensuring her community's radio airwaves are full of entertaining and useful information for all age groups. This includes her current role, alongside Ian, as co-owner and manager of Castlemaine's 88fm radio station, and as co-founder of WMAfm (now Castlemaine's MAINfm 94.9). Ms Bennet has also been a staunch lobbyist and business supporter for three radio station licences – 3CCC, KLFM Bendigo, and WMAfm – as well as a foundation member of KLFM Bendigo in 1989. In previous years her contribution to making the community a happier place has spanned shouldering the role of work placement coordinator for parolees and court-appointed community work order recipients, to serving as a manager for music groups.
Today, much of her attention is heavily focused on proactive efforts to ensure the accommodation and care needs of seniors will be adequately met into the future, and that seniors are valued and fully able to participate in their communities. "We're asking for a review of our bus services by the minister for transport and that will go to PTV to improve the service in this region and all regional areas," she said. As the Midland Express chatted to her about her Queen's Birthday "surprise", Ms Bennet's commitment to helping ensure our lives will be rich and enjoyable well into our mature years was well illustrated by her response to the observation that "we're all on the same train, just different carriages". "We're all on the same ladder, just different rungs," she said.

Draft plan for old school
The future operator of the old Kyneton Primary School site has been working on a draft strategic master plan that will soon be shared with the community. A Victorian Government spokesperson said the operator, Working Heritage, would seek community feedback on the draft plan as it laid the groundwork for the site's new life as a creative community hub. The Old Kyneton Primary School project is being led by Working Heritage with Development Victoria overseeing the design work to restore the building for use by local creatives. The Victorian Government is investing $12 million in this project.

Kyneton Football Netball Club players, Darby Kelly, Miriam McIntyre and Loryn Savoia are urging the council to help the club get their facilities up to code.
rgent p ea on netba nee s Amy Hume
Kyneton netballers have made an urgent and desperate plea for action to bring their facilities up to code. Last week, Kyneton Football Netball Club secretary, Vinitha Pinto, made an appeal for funding in Macedon Ranges Shire Council's 2022/23 budget. “The netball courts we have in Kyneton are not as per code and for the last few years we’ve been consciously attesting to the league that our courts are not compliant. My question is: how long is too long? "This is not a wishlist or a want that our club has but a desperate plea and an urgent need to take action,” she told councillors. The club is seeking $30,000 in the budget for a plan to develop a femalefriendly pavilion and upgraded netball courts at the Kyneton Showgrounds. Ms Pinto said the current facilities were not meeting needs and were a key factor in encouraging female participation. "At present, our females are changing in a pavilion that is unsatisfactory and is a significant deterrent to the future growth opportunities of female participation," she said. "It’s basically a shed with an oak tree inside. There’s one toilet in it. Half of the floor is concrete, the other half is dirt. There is a frame of a cubicle but you can-
not shower in it as it’s not connected to anything. "Unless we do this details design-work now, we cannot seek the funding we need from federal and state government, and we do not want to miss the boat again." Through its junior and senior netballers, women's football team and FIDA, the club has about 217 female players. The need for upgraded player facilities doubles for home games. Netball director for the club Loryn Savoia said growing that figure and hosting other clubs from the Bendigo league were a challenge. "It’s absolutely downright embarrassing. Clubs do not want to come to Kyneton to play their weekly game of netball. It’s disgraceful," she said. "There is not a single club within our league that I have seen that has comparable facilities – in the state of ours. "Attracting and retaining players is a significant issue due to our facilities. We don’t have enough court space to sustain our players as it is, let alone growth, which we hope to have in the future. We simply don’t have the basic facilities like a changeroom." Kyneton Netball Football Club's budget submission to the council is one of 65 that will considered before the final budget is adopted later this month.

Paddock sale to proceed
Macedon Ranges Shire Council will proceed with the sale of Hanging Rock's East Paddock to the state government despite challenge. Last week, deputy mayor Rob Guthrie moved to rescind the May council sale decision but failed to gain favour. Cr Dominic Bonanno was the only councillor to change his position, resulting in a 5-4 vote. Crs Anne Moore and Geoff Neil making up the other votes in favour of rescinding the sale decision. The sale will proceed contingent on several conditions including retaining public open space in perpetuity and ensuring any development on the East Paddock is consistent with protecting the natural, cultural values and views of the site. Ensuring concerts, events and markets can continue, and having council remain on the Committee of Management for the Hanging Rock Precinct are also key factors. The council agreed to seek an offer equal to, or within 10 per cent of, the current valuation assessed by the council’s appointed valuer.
happy to work in partnership with many great people over the years. "My husband Eric and I have lived in Kyneton for 40 years and have enjoyed the friendship of Kyneton's connected community in so many ways," she said. "I have progressed through many stages of involvement, first in the school community within the Parents Club and School Council and chairing the region's School Improvement Committee, serving on committees for youth employment, as secretary of the Business and Tourism Association, my work as an electorate officer over 26 years, and 28 years in Kyneton's Zonta International Club. "We do not do any of these things on our own. Working with organistions such as Zonta and Kyneton Connections and the Kyneton Connect newsletter is a great opportunity to advocate for change and improvements for the wellbeing of everyone. "We make such great friendships along the way," she said.

There's hardly a person in Kyneton who doesn't know Marg Dearricott. In perhaps her best known role as the long-running secretary of the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival, Ms Dearricott has been front and centre in celebrating her close-knit community for the past 18 years. It's that commitment to community that has seen her awarded an Order of Australia Medal in this year's Queen's Birthday Honours. Ms Dearricott told the Express that her 18 years' service as the secretary of the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival had been a joy. "The coming together of every person and every group through our festival celebrates our town life and is a terrific contribution to the area's growth and progress," she said. Ms Dearricott has a long list of other community service too. She was a founding member of the Friends of Kyneton Botanic Gardens, secretary of the Kyneton Branch of the Australian Labor Party for many years, and charter member of the Zonta Club of Kyneton. She was the former president of Kyneton Primary Parents Club and a former member of the School Council. Ms Dearricott is co-editor of the Kyneton Connect newsletter and was former secretary of the Kyneton District Business and Tourism Association (now Business Kyneton), and has held numerous voluntary roles in community organisations over decades. For her outstanding community service, she also received a Macedon Ranges Shire Community Achievement Award in 2011 and a Centenary Medal in 2001. Ms Dearricott said she had been very

Local species in focus
Glenhope farmer Clare Claydon will talk about attractive indigenous plants for your garden at Kyneton Horticultural Society's speaker evening next Monday. For this talk Clare will introduce guests to attractive and useful indigenous plants that could be used in your gardens. Learn about the size, shape, growing preferences, habitat values, their seeds, germinating conditions, etc. of these plants. Creating habitat for local wildlife by seed collecting and growing local species is Clare’s mission. Twenty eight years ago Clare started off on a 40acre Glenhope property that has become protected by a Trust For Nature covenant. Her hobby has grown so much that she now shares seed from more than 100 local species incuding eucalypts, understorey trees, shrubs, grasses, climbers, lilies and daisies. It should be an informative evening with Clare who is a very lively and passionate speaker. Monday June 20, 7.30pm in the football club rooms at the Showgrounds in Kyneton. Bring a plate, entry $2 members/$5 guests. Show and share tables, have a go.

ospita reno begins
Building works begin this week on the long-awaited redevelopment of the old Kyneton Hospital precinct. Aged-care provider Embracia Victoria is planning co-located aged care and childcare for the Simpson Street site. Stage one of the project will see a 120-place childcare centre built opposite the heritagelisted bluestone building, which will offer long daycare to local families. This first stage is aimed to be a nine-month build to open in March next year. Embracia is now awaiting approval from Macedon Ranges Shire Council for its further plans for the site, which will include the development of a 120-place aged-care centre. The facility will be made up of spacious single bedrooms with ensuites, set out in a household model in groups of 20, with plenty of common spaces. Embracia Victoria managing director Sarah MacKenzie said all of the works aimed to make the most of the picturesque site. "We want to bring people back to enjoy the old hospital again," Ms MacKenzie said. "We'll also be running intergenerational programs between the childcare and the aged care, which is something we're very excited to be working on. "There is much evidence that

Embracia has already received Heritage Victoria approval to renovate the heritage-listed bluestone building to create flexible function space upstairs and
mixed-use serviced offices and meeting rooms downstairs. There will also be a cafe/restaurant built in the old emergency ward red brick building and a common ground in the middle to bring it all together. Plans by the site's previous owner, Winport Developments, to develop the 1850s bluestone
building into apartments and build 64 houses on the surrounding five acres were abandoned in early 2019 and the site was sold to Embracia. Ms MacKenzie said the agedcare build and heritage restoration works would go to tender later this year and would be done as a project simultaneously.
Storage position strong
La Nina conditions have resulted in good rainfall and inflow to regional reservoirs this autumn. Coliban Water is holding 10 gigalitres more than for the same time last year. The combined storage volume for the three catchment storages, Upper Coliban, Lauriston and Malmsbury, is 76 per cent; and CW is holding 92 per cent of its share of Lake Eppalock. Autumn rainfall was 210 millimetres at Malmsbury, which is above the long-term average. With the wetter conditions experienced recently it is reasonable to expect to receive good inflows over winter and spring.

Offenders flee scene
Brothers Luke and Jordan Pinto help out with the Shropshire sheep at Kyneton’s Stolengate Farm.
a ers win favo r
A Kyneton sheep farming family is bound for big plans after a critical decision was made in their favour. The Pinto family aims to be among Australia's largest Shropshire breeders and said a permit to build was a "make or break decision". Their Baynton Road property falls under the 40ha build requirement for the Farm Zone but they sought to erect shedding and a home to support their farm activities. Last week Macedon Ranges Shire councillors voted 6-3 in favour of the build permit against council officer recommendation. Cr Geoff Neil led a push to grant the permit, highlighting the existing block, the applicant's work on the land and intent. "This is an existing title. It's not a subdivision with a house just for the hell of it. It's a livelihood," he said. "We have people here that wish to farm and when you're there on site it makes it substantially easier to have a productive farm." Adjoining land to the north and east of the property comprises Farm Zone land with dwellings for associated agricultural use. Land to the west is Rural Living with smaller developed lots. Cr Mark Ridgeway referred to the property as "effectively land-locked". He
said large well-established farms had past opportunities to purchase the property and hadn't done so. He said the applicants had clearly shown their intentions for farming purposes, and felt there was a need for ongoing supervision of the property. The application attracted two objections relating to the visual bulk of the dwelling, lack of justification for building in the Farm Zone, noise and amenity expectations of future residents. Planning officers felt the "agricultural uses proposed were not sufficient to justify the need for a permanent dwelling on site". They also warned of "inappropriate fragmentation which would compromise the long-term capacity of the land to be used for agriculture". Crs Rob Guthrie, Anne Moore and Jennifer Anderson raised similar concern. "One more, one more, one more, means that there won't be a farming zone area any more it will be de facto rural living, which unfortunately, a lot of these small lots allow for that to happen," Cr Guthrie said. A division recorded councillors in support of the permit approval were: Crs Neil, West, Bonano, Pearve, Ridgeway and Death. Those opposed were: Crs Anderson, Guthrie and Moore.

Police are searching for male offenders who left the scene of a collision in Kyneton last Friday morning. Two or three males were travelling in a white early model Nissan Pathfinder towing a trailer carrying a motorbike when they failed to give way while crossing from Powlett Street into Piper Street about 8am. The offending vehicle collided with another car before being spun around to strike the verandah post of a shopfront, causing significant damage. The Nissan left the scene heading towards Burton Avenue where the trailer and motorbike were abandoned. It drove off at speed heading southbound on the Calder Freeway. Enquiries are ongoing into the occupants of the vehicle and whether it was stolen. The driver of the other vehicle, an Lplater, assisted police at the scene. Police are appealing for witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kyneton Police Station on 5421 2900 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Stamp out elder abuse
the community was a key priority for them, and promoting older people’s rights, reducing risks to their safety and raising awareness about elder abuse was a key part of that,” she said. Warning signs may include an older person seeming fearful, anxious or isolated, injuries, or an absence of personal care. Unexplained changes to legal documents or finances are also possible signs. Most elder abuse occurs behind closed doors, so it is important to be aware of the signs, listen and offer help. Older people can reduce the risk of elder abuse by making sure their financial, medical, legal and other affairs are in order. They must also be empowered to recognise the signs of elder abuse and encouraged to seek help. If you are experiencing elder abuse, or concerned about an older person, you can get help by calling Seniors Rights Victoria on 1300 368 821 Monday to Friday, from 10am to 5pm, or by visiting: seniorsrights.org.au

Protecting your assets
A free information session aimed at older community members is being held this week in Kyneton to share advice that could help people protect their financial assets and prevent them from being the victim of elder abuse. The topics covered include managing mortgage stress, dealing with ageism, and information about the local supports and services that are available in the region to assist people at home. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day takes place on June 15 each year to highlight all forms of elder abuse, whether that be physical, social, psychological or financial. Elder abuse is any act that causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know and trust such as a family member or friend. Those presenting at the session include Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, My Aged Care, Western Health and West Justice. The session is on this Thursday June 16 between 1.30pm and 3.30pm at Sunbury and Cobaw Health, 1 Caroline Chisholm Drive Kyneton. Parking is available within the hospital car park. To register your attendance, contact Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health on 5421 1666 or email admin.kyneton@scchc.org.au.

The healing and unifying power of music is the theme of Scattered People – A Song Can Take You Home. This powerful and moving film tells the story of two musicians, Mas and Saha, devotees of Western music, who fled persecution in Iran and sought asylum in Australia. Each made their escape across perilous seas and found at last safety, if not universal welcome, in Australia. It was here these two strangers met and formed a friendship strengthened by a shared experience. In Brisbane, they found kindred spirits and formed a band called Scattered People. The film contains interviews with supporters, some of them icons of the Australian music scene: Missy Higgins, John Butler, Archie Roach and Baker Boy. We follow Mas and Saha through the writing and recording of their music, through their rehearsals and public performances. We hear of their traumatic pasts, of their resilience and courage as they create their latest album, Sugarmill Road. Their story is a journey marred by pain and prejudice, but leavened by hope. It is

Kyneton Town Hall will be illuminated in purple light this week in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Purple is the official colour for the commemorative day, on June 15, which seeks to prevent elder abuse by highlighting the importance of the rights of older people. Elder abuse is any act that causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know and trust, often a family member or friend. The abuse may be physical, social, financial, psychological or sexual and can include mistreatment and neglect. Macedon Ranges Shire Council's director of community, Maria Weiss, said it was important to raise awareness to ensure older people were respected and included within the community. “Elder abuse is everyone’s business.

Romsey Mitre 10 and the wider community have helped raise $27,105 for the family of two Lancefield boys recovering from severe burns. Brothers Xander, 3, and Tanner, 22 months, suffered burns to their hands and faces when an aerosol can exploded after it was accidentally put into a fire at their property. The pair were rushed to the Royal Children's Hospital where Xander was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit on arrival and both boys underwent surgery. The brothers are recovering but have a long road of recovery ahead. When Romsey Mitre 10 owner Nick Waldhauser heard about the accident he wanted to show support and get the community involved. The hardware store began a raffle, donating a Stihl MS311 'FarmBoss' (RRP $1299) prize, and taking up a collection for the family. "We really wanted to get on board to show our support and also give people in the community a gateway to do the same," he said. "The family are really strong and generous people and the type of people who would be showing the same level of support for others. "The response from the community has been absolutely amazing. We've also had donations from as far away as the Queensland border and Western Australia. "Every cent donated will go directly to the family to spend on medical bills, accommodation and whatever they need to help them through this."
Chewton's Julia Murray is encouraging local horse owners to trot along to a free equine safety session happening next Saturday near Ballarat. The local horse lover said the free 'Safety awareness training around horses Presentation' would be presented by equine veterinarian Dr Lesley Hawson and was a great opportunity for all horse and pony owners in central Victoria. "It's being presented by Project Hope Horse Welfare Victoria, which is a volunteerrun, not-for-profit, state-wide horse rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming organisation," Ms Murray said. "Education and advocacy are part of our work, which has been dedicated to improving horses’ lives for nearly 50 years." Ms Morris said next Saturday's free session would be a great chance to learn about the latest thinking in psychology and safety science, including first responder training. "This training encompasses far more than 'bites one end, kicks the other, and is dangerous in the middle' and can be applied in all horse-related situations," she said. The event happens 2pm Saturday, June

Have you been injured at work?
It's an attention-securing start to our phone conversation. "All my life I've been joking about how I'm half-Colombian because my mum got knocked up when she was backpacking through South America," comedian Aidan Jones says. Melbourne based Jones is getting set to tour his awardwinning show, Taco, to the 'Maine for a one-night stop later this month. Following introductions and formalities, we agree a robust laugh or two will not go astray right about now. "The best jokes are based in truth, so in September 2019, I went to meet Fernando Murcia, my biological father, and find out the truth for myself," he continues with his rather personal insight. "I met my dad when I was two. I met my biological father when I was 28. They're very different people." Turns out there's a reason for his sharing this particular tale. Jones' stand-up comedy show, Taco, follows this journey to meet his Colombian, biological father in September 2019. As might be expected from such a quest, one or two surprises ensued, and the experience that followed made for rich pickings when it came to working up a robust stand-up act. Taco explores the complexity of racial identity in an increasingly cosmopolitan world where things are never just black and white. It has clearly gone down well, leaving audiences wanting seconds as Jones has toured the show to big praise at the nation's leading capital city comedy festivals. In response to this year's Adelaide Fringe delivery of the show, The Adelaide Advertiser wrote: "punchlines that will leave you laughing for days on end... this is what an extremely wellcrafted comedy set looks like". And The Age, responding to Jones' appearance at last year's Melbourne Comedy Festival, concluded: “he's a masterful storyteller... the warmest I've felt this festival". "It's an interesting story," Jones muses during our 'phone conversation last week. "I've also toured it to the Edinburgh Fringe and Europe – Berlin, Barcelona, and Asia – Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore. It was good fun. A cool tour. "But I've never taken it to the regions before so I thought it was time," he says. "I'm really excited to tour the regions." And so it is that locals who feel the need for a hearty laugh will be able to catch Jones live as he presents Taco at Castlemaine's Shedshaker Brewery on June 30. Need something warm and spicy? Aidan Jones is bringing his stand-up comedy show ‘Taco’ to Castlemaine.

Amy Hume Holgate Brewhouse is tempting taste buds through a competition tapping into one of its most popular beers. The Woodend brewery is offering a $500 prize pack to the most creative and delicious recipe starring Holgate's Temptress Choc Porter. Holgate's Lucy Watson said the maltdriven beer was infused with Dutch cocoa and vanilla beans. "It's ideal for adding a depth of flavour to dishes – especially desserts and winter dishes like your stews," she said. Lucy began experimenting with new flavours to pair with the porter last year and wanted to share the fun. "I did some cooking videos from my own kitchen. We thought it was fun and that other people could get involved too," she said.
"Anyone can enter the competition. It's about finding exciting ways to get creative with the Temptress Choc Porter. The more interesting the entry, the better!" The Temptress was crowned Australian International Beer Awards Best Porter in 2015 and 2018. It has also caught the attention of celebrity chefs. MasterChef 2021 winner Justin Narayan has tried his hand at the Temptress challenge and his recipe will get creative juices flowing. Narayan created a "melt in your mouth doughnut" oozing with Temptress whipped ganache, coated with a Temptress glaze and topped with a dark chocolate crumb. How to enter: On social media (Instagram, Facebook or TikTok), share a reel, story, photos or video featuring a delicious recipe using Holgate Brewhouse's Temptress Choc Porter.

Letters from Baghdad will be one of eight films to feature in its Australian Festival premiere.
Castlemaine Documentary Festival officially launched its 2022 festival program 'Realise the Possible' with a special event at Boom Town Wine at The Mill Castlemaine recently. Tickets for the July festival are now live on the website and programs and ticketing support is also available through Castlemaine Visitor Centre at the Market Building. Festival director Claire Jager said this July they would celebrate the connection between filmmakers, films and audiences and the lure of documentary storytelling in the heart of regional Victoria on Dja Dja Wurrung country. The festival, now in its eighth year, will run from July 1-3 at the iconic Theatre Royal in Castlemaine, mainland Australia’s oldest continuously operating cinema. "In this intimate, 'real-world' setting, we will celebrate diversity and profile the important issues of our time, from the local to the global," Ms Jager said. “For the past two years the Castlemaine Documentary Festival has continued to experiment with hybrid forms of delivery, through challenging circumstances. "Finally, with a renewed sense of purpose, we will make the Theatre Royal sing with true stories about people who create change, who are driven to rebel, to reveal, and to live their authentic life. They help us to see what is possible. “This year we take great delight in bringing you an outstanding selection of eight Australian and international feature-length films. "Each film will be followed by stimulating panel discussions and conversations and viewers will have the chance to engage with filmmakers, panellists and other festival-goers. All films will also be available to view online.” On Saturday July 2, the festival will host the Australian premiere of Letters from Baghdad, which tells the extraordinary true story of Gertrude Bell and Iraq. Spy, explorer, political powerhouse – Bell was as controversial as the history she made. Sunday July 3 coincides with NAIDOC Week and C-Doc is proud to have The Lake Of Scars, a groundbreaking Australian documentary dealing with the challenges of reconciliation, as part of the program. "As special festival guests we are delighted to welcome Uncle Jack Charles and Ngarra Murray alongside the film’s director Bill Code," Ms Jager said. "We are also thrilled to have Australian director Jeff Daniels (Television Event) as a special festival guest." To view C-Doc’s program and to purchase tickets visit cdocff.com.au

Plans to develop the CastlemaineMaryborough Rail Trail have moved a step closer with the state government committing $120,000 to assist with crucial planning for the project. Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards visited Joyces Creek on Friday to announce the funding for a feasibility study at the foot of the now disused 1940 Joyces Creek Railway Bridge over Cairn Curran Reservoir, which is set to be a focal point of the trail. The project aims to enhance tourism to Castlemaine, Maryborough and small towns along the trail, and celebrate the region's goldfields heritage, First Nations culture and natural environment, including the world-recognised wetlands of the Moolort Plains. The funding investment from the state government's Enabling Tourism Fund will allow the study to examine the 55km recreational trail project and plan for its future development. The Castlemaine-Maryborough Rail Trail would deliver new walking and cycling tracks on the current disused railway line and allow visitors to experience the area’s beautiful landscapes from a new perspective. It would also boost tourism, local businesses and jobs. Ms Edwards said the CastlemaineMaryborough Rail Trail was an exciting project for our region and she hoped this critical work could be carried out without delay. “For me it's not just about a rail trail, it is about connecting two communities. Both towns, Castlemaine and Maryborough, are different but have a lot to offer and what they do share is that goldfields

"We estimate the trail can bring up to 30,000 visitors and another $8 million each year into towns along the trail, and provide safe commuting and accessible wellbeing opportunities for thousands of local people," she said. The study is expected to start in late spring and conclude in early 2023. If funding is secured, it is hoped construction on the first stage of the trail could begin as early as 2024.

Free camps for youth Camp providers Doxa Youth Foundation in Malmsbury and PGL Adventure Camps in Tylden will be delivering free camps this year for students who wouldn’t normally have the chance to attend. Positive Start in 2022 will help get students return to activities and support their physical and emotional health and wellbeing. The state program will focus on students from government and low-fee non-government schools who have been most affected by COVID-19 school closures – as well as students and schools that might otherwise be unable to participate in an outdoor education or camp program. These camps will provide unforgettable experiences for students that might otherwise have missed out including paddling a canoe under the stars, a rockpool ramble, boomerang activities, or conquering the high ropes course. A further $12.4 million will provide access to a broad range of arts, sporting and cultural experiences for students at every government and low-fee non-government school in Victoria.

'Radio Recharge' is the theme of the 2022 Radiothon, which kicks off this Friday and runs until June 25. Over nine days listeners are encouraged to tune in, subscribe and show support for the longrunning regional station. There are plenty of reasons to subscribe – a bounty of daily prizes will be up for grabs and everyone who subscribes during Radiothon will go in the major prize draw. There is an ever-growing list of businesses around town offering discounts for subscribers too. MainFM’s station manager Steph Riddel said the three-times crowned ‘best little station in the nation’ was asking the community to help provide
some much-needed voltage to get their Digital On Demand service up and running – which means you’ll be able to listen back to your favourite shows with the click of a button. MainFM is a not-for-profit local radio station broadcasting on Djarra country to Castlemaine and the Mount Alexander community and accessible from anywhere in the world through its livestream. Boasting an impressive array of diversity across music, news and local information, the 70-plus programs are presented by more than 100 volunteers with a passion for radio. The station contributes to national media diversity by providing a platform for alternative voices. As a volunteer organisation, all income raised during Radiothon will be used to sustain operations and for future development.
“Radiothon is a big deal for the station – it’s our major fundraiser for the year and helps us pay the bills and keep the show on the road,” Steph said. “We’re fortunate to have the support of so many local businesses and appreciate the contribution of prizes that go toward making Radiothon successful. “Throughout the pandemic and extended periods of lockdown, MainFM more than ever has become a vital source of connection, which has reinvigorated our sense of pride as an organisation. “Our volunteers work so hard to present shows, day in, day out. "Radiothon is a chance for the community to show how much they value the station and the team behind it,” she said. To find out more and to subscribe, visit mainfm.net

Men’s Health Week Why Men's Health? Why put an emphasis on the health of boys and men? They have health problems like anyone, go to the doctor and get looked after, right? In many cases, the answer is no. All through life, males suffer more illness, more accidents and die earlier than their female counterparts. A boy born in Australia in 2010 can expect to live 78.0 years while a baby girl born at the same time can be expected to live to 82.3 years. Accidents, cancer and heart disease all account for the majority of male deaths. More men than women take their own lives, too. Men's Health Week has a direct focus on the health impacts of men's and boys' environments. It serves to ask two questions: * What factors in men's and boy's environments contribute to the status of male health? * How can we turn that around and create positive environments in men's and boy's lives?

Will it just go away? Get checked before it gets worse
Reckon something is wrong with your health but just hope it's not an issue? Is it just normal ageing or will it just go away? Denial is a common barrier when it comes to health. It is always best to act early with any niggle you might have about your health. If you think something is not quite right, act now. Leaving it could see it not just 'go away' but turn into a major health matter. And don't think that people will consider you weak or less of a person if you go for health advice. Boys and men have often been brought up to exhibit traditionally masculine traits of strength, independence and self-reliance – good in many situations but not when it comes to health. There's nothing weak or soft about seeking out health information and support. Health issues happen to everyone. All people can feel nervous or embarrassed about talking through their health concerns. It's important to always speak up and get the help you need. Remember, your doctor is there to help and there's nothing they haven't heard or seen before. Campaspe Family Practice offers comprehensive men's health checks anytime and they recommend a check-up annually. Medicare funds fully comprehensive health checks if you are aged 75 years plus (home visit if required) and between the ages of 45-49 as a one off. Tests a GP health check may include are: * Comprehensive cardiovascular assessment (assessing heart disease risk) * Lung function assessment * Bowel cancer screening * Prostate cancer screening * Skin cancer screening * Comprehensive eye examination * Mental health assessment * Impotence management See Campaspe Family Practice's advert in this special Men's Health feature to make your appointment over the phone or online.
Don’t stay silent 'Cut the Silence' is about giving men safe places to talk. Affable Australian actor, Shane Jacobson, who lives locally with his young family, is fronting the campaign. Shane spent a day interviewing other highprofile local men while they sat at JD’s Hair and Barber Studio in Romsey. "It’s no secret that men aren't always great at expressing their feelings or seeking out help when they need," he says. "I’ve done a couple of TV shows encouraging blokes to look after themselves, but Cut the Silence was a chance to get involved at a local level and tackle the issue in my own backyard. "Let’s hope it gets men talking and saves some lives." The video interviews has been posted to websites and social media with the aim of encouraging men to talk about issues challenging their mental health. Cut the Silence is being organised by
the Macedon Ranges Suicide Prevention Action Group and Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health, with funding from North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network. Five barbershops across the Macedon Ranges are taking part. The barbershop staff have received mental health and suicide prevention training and will carry information on local mental health services and supports as a Cut the Silence Barbershop.

Guys! This is the perfect time to decide to improve your health. Lose weight or quit smoking – or both – with hypnotherapy. Practitioner Marianne Pattinson of Kyneton Hypnotherapies says that hypnosis makes long-term weight loss possible as she has seen through her happy – and slimmer – clients. Hypnosis also works well to help people quit smoking. The first six men to book for health-improving hypnosis through Marianne will receive a $50 discount. "Hypnotherapy can make the difference as hypnosis goes to the heart of the problem – your subconscious mind," Marianne says. "Your conscious mind works logically, does research and comes to conclusions about what is good/or not, for you. "You try to implement those decisions, but if the rigid 'programs' in your subconscious disagree with those decisions, such as not eating any more lollies or cakes, or drinking soft drink, then it will eventually override your logical decisions, and have you reaching out for that which you had decided not to eat. "Scientific research into the effects of hypnotherapy on losing weight and quitting smoking has found that hypnosis can make your weight-loss efforts 30 times more effective and on average, hypnosis was more than three times as effective as nicotine patches or nicotine replacement methods and 15 times more effective as trying to quit alone," Marianne says.
It's always a good time to look after your health.

The Ben McGill Big Band presents The Music of Frank Sinatra on Saturday at Lauriston.
Ben McGill and his fabulous seven-piece band present a swinging night of Frank Sinatra classics at Lauriston. The evening will pay homage to the late, great ‘Blue Eyes’, with hits such as Fly Me to the Moon, That’s Life, Come Fly With Me, Luck Be a Lady and many many more. The band is comprised of Melbourne’s finest jazz musicians, and pairs perfectly with McGill’s lush vocals. Ben, a resident of the Macedon Ranges, has been a long-time performer in a range of community, private and corporate events, and regularly sings to sold-out shows at the stylish Paris Cat Jazz Club in Melbourne. He has focused his love of jazz as a modern day crooner and iconic Sinatra stylist. Local composer and bandleader, Toshi Clinch, will be directing, making for a night not to be missed. So dress up, fly away and settle in for one night only of recreated 60s Vegas magic. The Ben McGill Big Band presents The Music of Frank Sinatra on Saturday June 18 at the Lauriston Community Hall. Doors open 7.30pm for an 8pm showtime. BYO supper and drinks. Tickets: www.trybooking.com/BZFES
Travelling exhibition Macedon Ranges residents still have the chance to enjoy Kyneton Museum’s popular exhibition Biodiversity in Crisis: Plants and Animals of the Macedon Ranges. While the full exhibition has now been dismantled, different components will travel to various locations across the shire until September. Pop-up displays can be seen at Romsey Hub, Gisborne Library, Woodend Library and Kyneton Visitor Information Centre, with the exhibits rotating every few weeks, so return visitors can see something new each time. The exhibition features a selection of objects that highlight the region's biodiversity and shows what we can do protect it into the future.

Macedon will be buzzing with the sound of live music this Friday as folk singer Judy Small performs as part of the Birds of a Feather LGBTIQA+ social gatherings. In celebration of Pride Month, Judy will be joined by Kyneton’s Rainbow Voices Community Choir, Macedon Ranges’ first choir for LGBTQIA+ people and their allies. Judy will be singing songs from her Let the Rainbow Shine album, which documents the lives and loves of lesbian and gay people. The humour, pathos, satire and Judy's lyrical poetry combine to create a collection of songs and stories that are both affirming and joyful. Birds of a Feather was established to enrich the lives of LGBTIQA+ adults living in the Macedon Ranges by providing a safe space to create meaningful connections, share stories and come together to hear from interesting guest speakers. “At previous Birds of a Feather gatherings we have heard stories about what it means to belong, courageous acts of allyship and connection to community and expectations around ageing,” says Nathan Allwood, one of the organisers from Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health. “The stories have been heartfelt, informative, moving, and with a good dose of humour thrown in. It’s been wonderful to witness how the sharing of stories provides a conduit for connection and self-discovery." Pride Month is a movement that celebrates sexual diversity. It raises awareness about discrimination and social exclusion and promotes dignity, equal rights, self-affirmation, and is a way of increasing society’s understanding of the issues LGBTIQA+ people still face. The Birds of a Feather musical afternoon of entertainment is on Friday June 17 at the Mountview Theatre, Smith Street, Macedon. Doors open at 1pm for a 1.30pm start. Entry is free and drinks will be available to purchase. Organisers of the event, Country LGBTI Inclusion Program, invite those attending to stay behind following the show for afternoon tea. To RSVP or if you want to find out more about Birds of a Feather or the work that CLIP does, contact Nathan Allwood on 5421 1666 or email nathan.allwood@scchc.org.au.

Castlemaine Theatre Company presents William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, a podcast in four episodes now available on the CTC website. Is blood thicker than water? Two charismatic sisters, one mad, the other bad, embark on contrasting paths to power; drawn into a festering conflict, they take a winding and magical route to redemption. David Thrussell's original score paints an expansive, dangerous and intoxicating landscape encompassing driving electronic beats and magisterial, mystical themes. Deep in the heart of last year’s lockdowns, Castlemaine Theatre Company was busy producing their very own COVID-proof production of Shakespeare’s final play, The Tempest.
The production was conceived by CTC president Kate Stones as an audio project, which was recorded at CTC's new home at The Etty Street Studio in Castlemaine. The company was incredibly lucky that locally-based and internationally-renowned electronic musician and composer David Thrussell had just had an international tour cancelled. Thrussell agreed to compose the score for the podcast, and the result is a lush, expansive sonic landscape, with a timeless yet contemporary feel. Listen to The Tempest at www.castlemainetheatrecompany.com/whats-on/ the-tempest-podcast. CTC asks that listeners simply show their appreciation by a voluntary donation.

Cathouse Players are looking forward to bringing their first production of 2022 to audiences. Rooms is a contemporary piece with a focus not only on relationships but also perceptions, assumptions and at times prejudice. In each room we meet a new group facing different challenges and in some ways, life lessons. Dee and Richard. If two realities don’t align, can a relationship survive? Chaz, Ryan and Bill. You think you know your friends and drinking buddies, but do you? Everyone has their own secrets. For some it may be something they didn't think they needed to share. Over a few beers it becomes obvious we are actually all the same. Angelita and Gordon. Two strangers are forced to meet. What do they have in common? Can they work through and acknowledge their past trauma? Will this help them accept the present, but also face their futures? Cathouse Players are excited to announce that a special raffle will be held for a weekend away in Warrnambool. This prize comes with the compliments of playwright, Ross McCorkell. Performing at the Kyneton Masonic Centre from June 17 for six performances. As always complimentary interval refreshments will include wine and supper on evening performances and the well-known ‘High Tea with Bubbles’ during matinees. Tickets as usual are $25 full / $20 concession and Companion Card with the Players' compliments. Book at www.trybooking.com/BYJMD or call Katie and Brian on the Catphone 0490 485 850.
Music to warm the soul
nc t If it wasn’t for COVID, the new young star of the classical guitar, Clancy McLeod, would not be playing in Australia. Clancy had been carving out his career in the UK, a long way from his parents’ home in Maldon, in central Victoria. But unable to keep touring in Europe, he returned to Maldon and put in a lot of COVID-enforced practise hours. The practise paid off with prize wins in the prestigious Adelaide International Guitar Competition and the Melbourne Recital Centre’s Great Romantics Competition. Now he’s bringing his music to central Victoria. ‘I was brought face-to-face with the struggles of rural Australia when I returned home,” Clancy said. “We had fires and floods as well as the pandemic. The pain of that sits heavy with us, and it seeped into my playing. “The unamplified guitar is a wonderfully

c ssic expressive instrument. Its emotion is all in your fingers, and I’ve brought together a program that comes out of that pain and suffering and into the love and the beauty that resides behind it. "Music by Bach, by Barrios, by Rodrigo.” Clancy’s candlelit concert will be the opening performance in Maldon’s month of music, theatre and mayhem: Maldon In Winter. Fellow Maldon musician, Josephine Emery, says of Clancy’s playing, “His performance is transfixing". "When he played Bach I was so captivated I lost track of the time. He totally inhabited that music and re-made it for me, right before my eyes and ears.” Maldon In Winter opens with Clancy By Candlelight on Friday, June 24.

Feeling the cold of late? A great way to warm up on a winter's Sunday afternoon is being entertained by The Savoy Singers. They'll be performing in concert at the Gisborne Uniting Church on Sunday June 19 at 2pm. The Singers have been providing entertainment to community and fundraising groups for more than 45 years. Its origins stem from Melbourne’s Savoy Opera Company. Most of the current members have performed in principal roles with Savoy Opera and other leading musical theatre companies. The group has an extensive repertoire of musical theatre ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Bert Bacharach and more. The Singers last performed at the Uniting Church in 2018, and James Johnson, spokesperson for the group, said the reception and response from the audience was wonderful and The Singers looked forward to performing once again for the people of Gisborne. Tickets are $25 adult, $20 concession/student, which may be bought at the door or from Maree on 5428 3852. Afternoon tea will follow the concert. There you are – you're feeling warmer already!

an s ape tapestry
Jennifer Sharpe must have clocked up thousands of kilometres riding, skiing, hiking and walking her way through some of the most beautiful environments on earth. It is our good fortune that these expeditions are accompanied by her artist’s curiosity, alertness and thoughtfulness. Many of these responsive ideas, photographs and drawings have been developed and woven into tapestries. Jennifer’s weaving practice has spanned over 40 years. Like her love for life and passion for the environment she has delighted in her studio practice. Now sharing a studio with partner Allan, her ‘side’ of the studio is filled with shelves of many coloured yarns enticing her to weave these celebratory images. There is often a larger tapestry being woven on her big loom, along with a smaller tapestry or two under way. In her latest exhibition we see the Tracks triptych comprising of images from Flinders Island, the Larapinta Trail and the Tasman Peninsula. Jennifer has walked through these precious environments over the past few years and through her tapestries we have the privilege of gazing across vast vistas of pristine land and sea. In the foreground of each tapestry we see specific, detailed studies of local flora and sometimes fauna. By taking a few steps around the gallery we can stand in this seasoned walker’s footsteps and share her gaze, experiencing environments that are otherwise only accessible by a few days walking. Covid has been a unique time, threatening, restricting but also affording us time. Blue Bush Carpet and Red Bush Carpet depict wildflowers that grow in the open country that backs onto Jennifer’s home and where she could walk every day. She writes, ‘In the cameos are wildflowers, which I saw during COVID within my 5km limit. The background is the contour lines of the area. I used red and blue to honour the historical nature of tapestry and pay tribute to the Millefleur tapestries'. Jennifer has also honoured these tiny flowers placing them in rich, regal environments, while acknowledging the land where they grow. The final more abstracted group of tapestries are like a series of coloured jewels, often referencing landscape. They are a playful exploration of patterns, shapes and colours. Works like Orange and Blue Landscape help us recall sunny days and the flow of life. They play with complementary colours
Jennifer Sharpe’s tapestries are on display in the foyer of Castlemaine’s Phee Broadway Theatre until July 8. and the juxtaposition of both broken and flowing shapes. Time is precious to us. How fortunate we are that Jennifer has chosen to spend much of her time so wisely, exploring extraordinary environments and sharing their beauty with us. The exhibition is on display in the foyer of Castlemaine's Phee Broadway Theatre until July 8. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10am – 5.30pm, Thursday 10am – 7pm and Saturday 9.30am – 2pm.

It would be no surprise if one day Kyneton’s 'Little Swallow Café' was renamed the 'Big Heart Café'! The generosity of the café owners is once again apparent with their offer to host the upcoming fundraiser for the not-for profit, community owned RM Begg Kyneton Aged Care. On Friday June 24, an event will be held at the Little Swallow Café in Piper Street, Kyneton from 6.30-9.30pm. Tickets will cost $50 per person, and all money raised from ticket sales will be returned to RM Begg, as well as funds from a donation box on the night. It’s not the first time Little Swallow coowners Daniel Richards and Ed Pursey have opened their hearts to the community.
In August last year the Café was the venue for RM Begg’s 'Charity Fundraiser Pivot Event', which included a luxury raffle and goods and services auction, raising $27,000 for the organisation. They’ve also hosted events for the Scouts and CWA. “We are a very successful business thanks to the beautiful community that supports us, which is why we are happy to give back through events like this one,” Daniel Richards says. RM Begg has faced challenging times and its future has been uncertain. However changes expected later this year to the federal government’s aged care funding model have prompted the organisation’s board to ditch plans to partner with a larger

group, and instead remain as a stand-alone facility, an outcome the community had hoped for. “While the latest good news about the organisation’s future is encouraging, we believe fundraising is still an important way to engage the community and to inject welcome additional funds back into the RM Begg,” RM Begg fundraising coordinator Angela White says. The upcoming fundraiser will include live music, lucky door prizes and the major Thermomix raffle will be drawn. Tickets will cover the cost of finger food, beer, wine, soft drinks and Animus Gin.

Arthritis is a complex condition involving inflammation of joints. There are many causes but in general the degree of arthritis is often related to the age of the animal. As with both humans and animals, the older we get, the joints become stiffer. Osteoarthritis, by far the most common type of arthritis, is often seen following problems affecting joint mobility, e.g. cranial cruciate ligament rupture, hip dysplasia etc. How do we treat arthritis? Obviously, treatment will depend on the cause. Treatment of osteoarthritis usually involves analgesics (pain relief medication). It is important to select these with care since some dogs are more sensitive than others to some of the side effects of the commonly used medications. If you have any concerns following the administration of the medications that have been prescribed, please discontinue them and contact your treating vet without delay. It is important not to use 'human' analgesics such as Panadol or Nurofen without discussing them with your vet first. Other common treatments for osteoarthritis include medications that are given in a series of injections and natural joint supplements or specially formulated joint diets. Lifestyle factors such as weight loss, suitable bedding and appropriate exercise are also very important. Jackets are also beneficial for arthritis suffers. As the weather cools down, we may see some of these arthritic pets affected a little more so book them in for a winter check to make sure they stay comfortable. Contact Gisborne Veterinary Clinic for more information.

be a place for the community to come together to support neutering programs. Neutering programs are proactive interventions that work to curb cat colonies while maintaining healthy environments for both the cats and the community in an attempt to reduce disease and unwanted kittens. Through generous community donations and the offer to run a program in a local vet clinic, an inaugural community vet run neutering day was organised by the RCVC. It was a cold Sunday in May when 31 cats were desexed. The cats came from colonies and farms from Maryborough to Maldon; eight female cats were spayed while 23 males were castrated. The RCVC is a community program with a big goal to assist people experiencing dire financial circumstances or a change in capacity which prevents them from providing the care their animal requires. Founding member, Yvette Berkeley from McKenzie Hill says the goal includes providing access to preventative health veterinary services, running neutering programs, and also supporting companion pet care in people's homes.

In an ambitious endeavour, a group of central Victorian residents have come together to establish a regional community vet clinic. The goal is to support people who are experiencing really tricky financial situations to care for their companion animals, to run neutering programs and to support and promote the value of companion animals in the community. The RCVC recently secured state government funding to turn their goal into a reality. "We are just in the very early stages," says founding member James Mack of Castlemaine. "One of the first stages of our plan is to raise funds to set up a vet clinic facility on land associated with Campbells Creek Community Centre. "A clinic at this site will be an opportunity to assist people experiencing dire financial situations to access preventative veterinary care. This care could be a game changer for many people who have a tight bond with their animals but just have absolutely no way to afford the veterinary care to support their companion animals," James explains.

'In the same week that the Victorian government announced permanent protections for Victoria’s three new national parks, it also flagged new penalties for anti-logging protesters' wrote Angela Crawford in 'Stakes high for forests' (Midland Express, May 31). The irony is that at the same time as the government is offering this protection, it will not happen until 2030, and in the meantime VicForests, under the guise of 'a recovery plan for the Wombat State Forest', is flat out removing hundreds of trees. To log old-growth forest in a climate emergency, to destroy the lifeblood of the planet when we are trying to curb global warming is madness, and it beggars belief that the authority put in charge of our forests could be so stupid. Not to mention that by the time the area is declared a national park, a large proportion of the forest, including habitat for threatened species, will be gone. What happened to VicForests' plan to grow plantations, so that there would be a sustainable supply of timber and pulpwood? To log old-growth trees for paper is an inexcusable act of environmental vandalism. According to Angela, there have been a number of local activists who care deeply about the forest and the creatures that live in it, and who have been campaigning for more than two decades to save it. They are convinced that this is much more than a 'recovery plan'. So it is shocking to hear that if they continue with their efforts, under these new laws they are likely to be fined up to $21,000, or go to jail for at least 12 months. Local state member for Macedon and Victorian minister for agriculture, MaryAnne Thomas, always quick to say that she supports climate action, now says that protests are becoming increasingly dangerous – particularly for workers – and that this legislation is needed to minimise disruption to the industry. But what she doesn’t mention is that the workers have been misled by VicForests and should not be logging old growth at all. Virtually all scientists agree that if we aim for net-zero emissions by 2050, the emissions will have reached a level that will cause global heating greater than 2 degrees C, which will have catastrophic consequences for our climate; think the unimaginable – more frequent and more severe droughts, cyclones, floods and unstoppable bushfires, and all the threats that they would bring to our shores.

Well Mount Alexander Shire Council, your ability to continuously waste ratepayers' money seems to have no boundaries. Let’s start with the two bridge decks on Fryers Road, Campbells Creek. Both decks have sunk in various areas, the machinery used in replacing these decks left damage on the existing seal that has never been addressed. Council's ability to monitor even the smallest projects in our shire consistently leaves plenty of room for improvement. The affected areas, both sides of both bridge decks, including the bridge decks themselves, should have been addressed well before sign off; but as usual if no one says anything, it will be fine. Now let’s move on to the half-built footpath from Main Road to the Campbells Creek sportsground. The width of the footpath varies the whole way to the sportsground due to the inferior material used for edging. Many people saw this timber dropped in the sportsground for this purpose. Cheap, twisted and unusable, but it was still used with no one from council condemning it. Have a look at the spoon drain diagonally opposite the Five Flags Merchants store;

absolute disgrace. Water and sediment ponds up near the sportsground so walkers have to walk around it. No formed drainage or pipes etc. on the entrance to properties and no formal top soiling up to the footpath. To top it off someone in council forgot to contact VicTrack to get permission for the footpath to cross over the disused trainline, hence the reason the so-called footpath isn’t finished. Finally council try getting someone out of your ivory towers to come down to Campbells Creek to have a look at our drainage gutters on Main Road, then work your way around Fryers Road for more. Trees overhanging Fryers Road are a serious issue too. The ratepayers down here deserve more than this garbage for the exorbitant rates we pay to feather your nests. I’m more than happy to meet anyone from council down here to walk them through it.

Re: John Shaw's letter ('The rule of law?', Opinions, June 7). The law is not necessarily justice. After all, laws are made by the rich for the rich. This is evident by the financial donations made to political parties by major interest groups. Then there is the question of legal representation. The financial sector has the wherewithal to hire well-qualified and experienced lawyers whereas our First Nations people do not have this privilege. I totally agree with Mr Shaw's sentiments as to the unfairness of the situation but hopefully with the new Integrity Commission this matter will be addressed.

Re. 'Taproom art supports war-torn Ukraine' (Midland Express, May 24). This war would not have begun and could end if NATO or the Ukraine government would pledge not to install nuclear weapons into Ukraine. USA first-strike capability has been Russia's declared red line. The USA has continually breached its promises made after the 1962 Cuban Missile crisis and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Putin wrote of this to Biden, several weeks before Russia's invasion. Biden's written reply was quoted as 'indiscernible Western jargon, without one answer to questions put'. Days later Russia invaded. Following this, on different episodes of the ABC TV's The Drum, Craig Emerson and Satyajit Das were both cruelled and dismissed in their singular efforts to bring these facts to light. Before the 'illegal' invasion of Iraq by the USA, the authentic Left wing also opposed the war in Vietnam and the lies from the Nixon Whitehouse: Daniel Ellsberg/ Pentagon Papers vis-a-vis Julian Assange/ Wikileaks. Today, Left wing populism merges with Right wing hegemony and supports the Ukraine war, nuclear arms and Russian cancellation. History tells us what this merger becomes, if this affliction is allowed to run deeper. Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell), essayist and novelist 1903-50, stated that when Fascism returns to the West it will dwarf its predecessor.

Re. 'Bad kills need to stop' (Midland Express, June 7). We owe respect to the wildlife carers who are left to clean up this mess. The Victorian Government has around 100 native species on its kill list, kangaroos are at the top of that list. The government is actively promoting the commercial killing of kangaroos and Labor has more than tripled
the number of kangaroos being killed in the state compared to the period pre-commercial exploitation. Victoria is now divided into seven shooting zones. Due to unsustainable shooting, the remoter shooting zones, including the Mallee, now have very few kangaroos. For residents living in the Central Shooting Zone where kangaroos still remain, this means a period of intense kangaroo killing in close proximity to communities, creating division and danger and revealing the grotesque cruelty of this abhorrent behaviour. • The Central shooting zone becomes kangaroo killing hotspot, 65,050 eastern grey kangaroos targeted in just this one zone. LGAs in the firing line in the central shooting zone are Ballarat, Brimbank, Hepburn, Hume, Macedon Ranges, Melton, Mitchell, Moorabool, Mount Alexander, Murrindindi, Nillumbik, Whittlesea and Yarra Ranges. Analysis of commercial and non-commercial permits since 2015, show that permits have been issued to kill 1.3 million kangaroos in Victoria, roughly equivalent to their population estimate of 2018. The red kangaroo was placed on Victoria’s commercial kill list in 2014 and removed in 2019 as the level of killing was unsustainable. This species demonstrates just how poor the Victorian Government’s governance standards in relation to these matters are: • In 2017 the permits issued to kill red kangaroos exceeded the Victorian Government’s entire state population estimates by 2187 animals; • During the catastrophic bushfires of 2019 and 2020, and as the world was donating tens of millions of dollars for the rescue of Australian wildlife, the Victorian Government issued permits to kill 16,648 red kangaroos, most in state and national parks in Victoria (while at the same time blocking rescues of all wildlife injured in the fires on public lands). Senior state Labor politicians are aware of the situation but still support these crimes against the natural world, spruiked by them, using misinformation and a callous disregard for human or animal welfare and safety.

Dogs run down the little ones who escaped the bullets. Chainsaws tear and jar flesh and bones. Bodies dismembered. Remains scattered as carrion for wild pigs, feral dogs and foxes. Hide the identities. Hide the truth. Eradicate. Sounds like a scene out of a horror movie? Reality is, this is the horror story written by the Andrews Government and Parks Victoria for Victorian brumbies. Whichever side of the fence you stand on the brumby debate, surely we can agree that this plan is barbaric. This is inhumane. This is beyond cruel. Re-homing of Victorian brumbies was the preferred and accepted option of controlling numbers in our National Parks, but has been dismissed as too expensive by Daniel Andrews. Shooting is cheaper and quicker. A covert operation with silencers and chainsaws to destroy the evidence and eradicate our heritage brumbies. Some brumby bloodlines can be traced back to our famous Lighthorse regiments in World War I, who served our mounted infantry and our country so bravely. Now it is our turn to fight for their very survival. We cannot wait for the November state election for the people to decide the fate of our Victorian brumbies. We must stop the bullets now!

What You Need to Know about Rental Appraisals By Marissa Boyd, Rental Department Manager, Partner When thinking about your investment property, and what you may expect to charge renters, sometimes there is some confusion in relation to how the current market is doing. Even if you are keeping abreast of the current prices online and you may have an up-to-date understanding of how the market is performing, you might find that your price gauge may be a little higher or lower. Hence why prospective landlords should always complete a detailed rental appraisal before proactively making the property available for renters. This is where our experienced property managers research the location, comparable properties and assess current economic influences - giving you more information to consider for your investment. Here is a list of the benefits of a rental appraisal and why every landlord should consider this before getting the property on the market. Know your asset Keeping on top of rental market trends is certainly a full-time job. Many landlords simply don’t have the time or the latest information at their fingertips. No one wants to have impossible expectations
or be offering a complete bargain. A rental appraisal provides a safeguard for you- receiving a thorough and comprehensive update on your property’s value. This will help you to feel at ease with the pricing and you can charge a correct amount of rent and avert any problems finding renters. Planning finances for your future If you’re getting ready to purchase a new property with the intentions of making it an investment property for the future, you need to know how much income you can achieve and what to expect to generate from your purchase. A rental appraisal will provide you with a clear estimation regarding your potential earnings. Giving landlords more certainty and assurance to purchase their investment property and plan other budgets and financial plans. Maximising your income With the recent increases in the interest rates and less flexibility with banks- the market is constantly changing, with some suburbs climbing rapidly in value as others become less appealing to renters. Liaising with an expert team in conducting a rental appraisal, the information provided to you will assist you in getting the greatest return on your investment. Instead of leaving the rent unchanged when you intend on releasing to new renters or to take a predicted guess on rent, you’ll receive insightful advice to guide you in making the right decision for your investment income. Are you ready to undertake a detailed rental appraisal? We are here to help you and answer any questions you may have about your current investment or upcoming new purchase.

Trentham’s finest
Opportunities to own a home like this are few and far between. Here on offer is one of the finest properties in Trentham. Set on the largest parcel of land in the centre of town, 1.4 hectares (3.46 acres) of enchanting gardens surround a historic home. Such an envious location, positioned within minutes to the shops, cafés, and restaurants, yet also backing onto the Domino Trail which lends itself to beautiful bushwalks and bike rides all the way to Lyonville. It really is the best of both worlds, the peace and privacy of country living yet all the perks of being in the heart of a vibrant township. The grounds consist of many impressive pockets of established trees. At the rear of the property century old eucalypts inspire awe as they stand beside an arboretum bordered by a colosseum of radiata pines. Other impressive species include the rare Tasmanian king billy pine, and an ancient douglas fir whose magnificence can only be rivalled by the gigantic rhododendron when in full bloom. The home was built circa 1915 as the chief forester’s residence, later becoming the Trentham Forestry Office and Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands. Full of character, the house displays original hallmarks such as open fireplaces, polished floorboards, and panelled doors. The living area welcomes the morning sun through a row of double-glazed windows that draw the garden view inside. From here the open kitchen forms the hub of the home integrating the living zones with ease and efficiency. The kitchen presents ample stone-top bench space, and a Rangemaster cooktop and oven. The master bedroom, with open fireplace, has a large entrance that can be purposed as a study, or perhaps a walk-in wardrobe, along with built-in storage. The remaining three bedrooms are of generous size, all with garden-view windows and high ceilings. Of the two bathrooms, one features a relaxing modern bath for the cooler seasons. The adjoining sunroom adds another possibility for a study or separate living space. Stepping outside, the north facing wrap-around alfresco area allows for large gatherings and is a great place to soak up the sun and peer through the tree-tops in contemplation. Tucked into the lush landscape, past the pergola, is a charming historic shed that is reminiscent of a Scandinavian cottage. In addition to this is a second shed that offers vast storage space, perfect for any sort of studio or workshop that the heart desires. With so much to offer this unique property really needs to be seen to be believed. The township of Trentham is incredibly well situated in central Victoria, being not much more than 15 minutes’ drive to Daylesford, Kyneton and Woodend, and close to an hour drive to Melbourne, Bendigo, and Ballarat. A piece of history and stunning private gardens in the heart of a highly sought after town.

Battle of the Bands is back and live
Battle of the Bands is back and live in 2022. Entries are open to young, up and coming musicians, who will take their music to the stage to battle it out for one of two major prizes. Music in the Sticks will host the event at Kyneton Town Hall on Friday, July 29. Two prizes are up for grabs on the night including the Judges Prize and the People’s Choice Prize. The Judges Prize will be awarded to the artist who receives the highest score from the judging panel, and the winner will receive a merchandise pack valued at $500 to help support the promotion of their music. The People’s Choice Prize will go to the artist who draws the largest crowd! This will be measured through ticket sales and at the door, with the winner receiving a $200 voucher for Manny’s/Store DJ, a leading music retailer in Australia. The judging panel will comprise two community members who are prominent in the local music scene, a young person and a representative from Macedon Ranges Shire Council. Applications are open until June 30. Young people aged 12–25 years who live, work, study or participate in recreation within the Macedon Ranges are encouraged to apply, including solo artists, duos and bands. Successful applicants will be required to attend a compulsory pre-event meeting at Kyneton Town Hall on Monday, July 11.

Working together for good effort Next term, year 10 Castlemaine Secondary College students will plant more than 200 native plants along Happy Valley, with help from the Castlemaine Landcare Group and paid for by The Good Op Shop. The students will plant grasses and other native species along parts of Forest Creek and Moonlight Creek to improve the habitat in the valley. "We want to try and get as many native plants in the ground as possible and to stop the spread of weeds that harm native animals and livestock," said Christine Kilmartin, president of the Castlemaine Landcare Group. The students will do this as part of their outdoor education program. "The kids love the opportunity to get outside," said Cole Waters, the Castlemaine Secondary College outdoor education teacher. "It’s great for them to put something in the ground and to learn about the work that volunteers do in our community to improve it for everyone, in this case, our native wildlife." The Good Op Shop will fund this project
from proceeds raised from the sale of secondhand items generously donated to the shop. The not-for-profit is keen to support other local projects in the as well. "We love the idea of being able to join groups together in the community who work to protect nature or improve sustainability, and to include youth in that, is even better," said Tiffany Inglis from The Good Op Shop. Next weekend (June 16-18), The Good Op Shop will celebrate one year of being open with a ‘1 Year, $1 Sale’. "We are raising money for local conservation projects, like this one between Castlemaine Landcare and Castlemaine Secondary College," Tiffany said. "And since we’ve been open for one year, we’d like to thank everyone for their support with a little celebration and a sale. Everything in the shop will be $1." On Saturday June 18 there will be a coffee van and cake sale out the front of the shop from 10am until supplies run out. The Good Op Shop is open Thursday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm, at The Salvage Yard (4 Lewis Drive, Castlemaine).

SP PORTS WRAP PORT My Yankee Girl impressive
U11s trifecta!
Leaving the chill and drizzle of the Macedon Ranges in the rear-view mirror, the Rangers' U11s headed down the highway to Melton for their clash against Satellite City. With a long weekend and mid-June flus throughout the team, the girls had to face a game with no interchange. Arriving in Melton and sunshine, the girls followed coach Matt’s word line and verse! Decked out in fingerless gloves, a baby on the way and their lucky charm Shanae the girls didn’t disappoint. Winning for the first time this season with two goals to Chloe, two goals to Livvy and new recruit Lola rounded out the trifecta with her inaugural goal. With mums still thawing out after last week’s big chill, it was the dads' turn for the football runs and how proud they were!
Tylden-trained galloper My Yankee Girl scored an impressive win over 1300m at Sandown on Saturday. Allowed to settle near the rear of the field by top rider Damien Oliver in a BM78 for three-year-old fillies, My Yankee Girl won by two and a half lengths. This was her third win from eight outings, and after the race Oliver and Frank Salanitri (racing manager) predicted the filly would continue to improve and go on to better things. My Yankee Girl is owned by Eddie Hirsch and family, one of the many gallopers trained by John Salanitri at the Hirsch Park complex.
Rangers’ goal scorers – Liv, Lola and Chloe.

Last Thursday, June 9, marked one year on from the intense storm that devastated Trentham Golf Course and the surrounding Trentham area. Local members suffered damage to their homes, and few who sheltered in their homes that night could envisage what was happening on the course. There were 75 large trees blown over, fences damaged and the practise nets destroyed. The course had to be closed for nearly two months before it became playable again. Reflecting down the track to the present time, it is clear the efforts of greens staff, club members, visiting green keepers and contractors have achieved a wonderful outcome. While some storm signs are still visible around the course in the form of a few remaining fallen trees, timber piles in the rough, and mulch piles where trees once stood, the course is fully playable and back to its best. It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some good, and the course has actually improved in some areas. As examples, the 2nd and 12th greens have more sunlight and better grass health with fewer trees shading them from the north; the 12th hole is much better without two large gum trees overhanging the left-hand side of the fairway, and the 14th hole has been opened up with fewer trees down the left side. New and improved practise nets are currently undedr construction. A year down the track Trentham Golf Club would like to thank all who helped either by giving time, expertise or financial contributions over the past 12 months. This demonstrates what can be achieved by community effort and good organisation, motivated by a love of the club and the course, a TGC spokesperson said.

Plans for a driving range
While some storm signs are still visible around the course, it is fully playable and back to its best. TOURNAMENT CHANGES Some positive changes have been made to this year’s Trentham Annual Tournament, which now offers a full week of competition golf. The most notable change is the addition of a Golf Australia Trentham Senior Amateur event. The tournament will run from Monday, October 17, to Sunday, October 22. The Senior Amateur event over 36 holes is open to male and female golfers. Entries are expected to open in early August, with full fields anticipated. The men’s open, which was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID and reduced to 18 holes in 2021, will revert to 36 holes.
Gisborne Golf Club has high hopes that its planned driving range can become operational in October this year. Trees have already been removed to cater for the driving range, and cost benefits of it being a covered range are being pursued. Hard work in recent months has resulted in progress on extensive planning, design, works and business processes. Concept drawings have been completed, and the area for the driving range to be established has been marked out. Quotes for all equipment required, including the ball machine and ball picker, have been received. A risk and safety analysis is nearing completion, and the club has indicated its members will be kept up to date on overall progress. Have a driving range available is expected to encourage even more golfers to take advantage of this strategically related course. The Gisborne course, among other things, is known for its popular kangaroo tours.
Town n & District
GOLF results Castlemaine Castlemaine’s stableford event on Saturday was devoid of any exceptional scores. Greg Sinclair (8 handicap) took out the overall and A-grade awards with 36 points, one clear of Les Prendergast (8). In B-grade, Jayson Glenister (18) returned to form with 33 points, edging out Alister Campbell (17) on a countback. Kyneton Terry Gamble (11 handicap) scooped the pool in Kyneton’s par event on Saturday with a plus 3 score; the voucher from Drummonds of Niddrie was appreciated. Runner-up in A-grade was Tien Ho (12) square; B-grade went to Noel Alldis (17) square from Peter Cameron (16) – 1. NTPs were Gamble, Ho, Pat Clohesy, Jonathan Beachey and Damien Summers – also super pin. Wednesday stableford: Neil Watts (20) with 37 points was the men’s winner from Graham Hackett (23) on 35; Robyn MacRae (25) led in the ladies with 23. The first round of the 54-hole Min Ferris Memorial Trophy for the ladies last Tuesday saw Joan Gibbs shine with 96-26-70, and set up a huge lead as other players failed to fire. Marg Scoble was runner-up with 105-24-81. There’s still 36 holes to play, and hopefully Gibbs can still be given some
competition. Barry Murphy played at Southern GC in the Melbourne and District Veterans’ stableford and took out A-grade with 34 points. PENNANT FINALS Kyneton had its two women’s pennant teams in finals last week, but could not clinch a title against strong opposition. In the top division, Neangar Park’s number one team eclipsed Kyneton 4.5 to 0.5 matches. Axedale number 2 accounted for Kyneton’s number 2 side 4/1. The club thanks all players who gave up their time to represent Kyneton in the just concluded pennant competition. Lancefield Lancefield women’s pennant team went down 3-2 to Marysville in a dramatic Dalhousie district pennant final played at Kilmore last week. After Wendy Nicholas and Anne Robinson won their individual matches easily, the remaining three went down to the wire – two being decided in Marysville’s favour down the 19th. Overall Lancefield had a good season, being unbeaten in the home and away matches. Congratulations to Marysville players on their performance in the final, after they had beaten Romsey 3-2 in the last home and away round.
The DDGA division one women’s final was won easily by a strong Seymour combination, the margin being 4.5 to 0.5 against Yea. There was a tight finish in the men’s stableford competition on Saturday. Just one shot separated the first three and second three players. Evergreen John Wilson (22) took the honours with 35 point from Richard Phillipe (15) and Steve Gilbert (25). Legends: Peter McGill 82-8-74 from Jason Byron 85-9-76. Romsey Softer fairways saw all players lose distance and there was a period of club adjustment for some on Saturday. Greens were in top condition and the speed caught some out. Steve Wilkins was the day’s winner with 89-17-72 from Mitch Atlas 81-7-74 and Mal Mottram 81-6-75. Williams and Luke Lyons were the NTPs. Wednesday 4BBB stableford: Drainage work is paying dividends, with the winners being Darlene and Roger Baker (both 17) with 39 points, from Elaine Scanlon (32) and Kath Jekabsons (38) 36, and Lorriane Robb (43) and Beryl Cole (331) 34. Trentham Trentham’s doubles finalists were decided after two very one-sided semi-finals on Saturday.
The final will see Cameron McDonald/ Adam Moustafa tackle Given King/Mark Trinder. The three grade winners in the day’s individual stableford were: A – Bradley Nugest (11) 37 points, B – James Coyle (15) 38; C – Nathan Johnson (34) 35. Women’s par: Trish Mann excelled with + 5, and B-grade winner Alison Bouchers carded –1. Woodend Donny Kakaschke stole the limelight in Woodend’s stableford event on Saturday with one great shot. He aced the 138-metre par 3 17th to more than make up for missing out on a grade trophy. A-grader Steve Roberts (3) carded 40 points to finish ahead of W. Sliwinski (3) on 38; Sam Barker (17) topped B-grade with 36, from C. Duff-Tytler (26) on a countback. Here’s hoping for good weather for the 23rd Ian Davies Tournament this Saturday. The club thanks all members and friends who lodged submissions with the shire council in support of a substantial allocation towards upgrading the clubhouse. Secretary James O’Brien and president Barney Hearnden elaborated on the WGC’s case before a submitters’ meeting on Thursday evening.

The Rockatoos and Radio Galahs vie for the ball at the Camp Reserve on Sunday. Photo: Max Lesser There’s no doubt about it. Footy brings people together. And Sunday's MAIN Game was no exception. There was a wonderful community spirit among the 300+ crowd as they cheered on the Rockatoos and the Radio Galahs at the historic Camp Reserve in Castlemaine for MainFM’s annual footy match fundraiser. The game didn’t disappoint, with both
teams going head to head for a close finish. Reubin Williams from the Rockatoos sealed the deal with a set shot in the last quarter to win by 10 points, the first victory for the side since both teams first met in 2018. After a two-year hiatus, the MAIN Game was a huge success for local radio station, 94.9 MainFM, and comes off the back of
a successful music festival fundraiser, REVIVAL, held in April. As a not-for-profit community organisation, the station now prepares for its annual subscriber drive, Radiothon – Radio Recharge, from June 17-25. Proceeds from all fundraising initiatives go towards keeping the station on the airwaves. Visit mainfm.net to pledge your support.

The Castlemaine Magpies Central Victorian Football League Women's side continued on its winning way last Sunday with a solid victory over Bendigo Thunder at Weeroona Oval Bendigo. The determined Thunder outfit held sway early in the match. The side came out firing kicking three goals to one in the opening term and led by 12 points at quarter time. The second term was more of an armwrestle with both sides only managing one goal each. However, after half-time it was all oneway traffic with the Magpies showing their
class kicking another seven goals while keeping the Thunder scoreless. Castlemaine won 1.1, 2.3, 5.10, 9.14 (68) to 3.1, 4.1, 4.1, 4.1 (25) to maintain their unbeaten run and retain top spot on the CVFLW ladder. A fantastic effort in their inaugural season in the competition. Shelby Knoll led the way booting five goals for the Magpies, with Eloise Gretgrix kicking two and Meg Ginnivan and Lily McMahon one each. Best on ground for the Magpie Women were Tia Davidge, Meg Ginnivan, Scarlett Orritt, Jemma Finning, Shelby Knoll and Bridie Semmens.

SP PORTS WRAP PORT Pride Round to celebrate inclusion in netball and the AFL, had inspired a national Pride Cup match between St Kilda and Sydney Swans, as well as events in other leagues, but more needed to be done at every level. "A lack of diversity in sport has a severe impact on young Australians, and sees them self-select themselves out of the wonderful range of sports that are available in our communities," Ball said. "The other negative of this equation is that Australian sports end up missing out on great talent." The Rainbow Network supports Pride Cup by providing pre-match diversity and inclusion training to players from both teams. The speaker for the Pride Round is participation coordinator at AFL Victoria and LGBTQ+ community leader and advocate, Rebecca Herft. The free Pride Round event is being held June 18 at from 12-2pm at the KFNC home ground club rooms. Doors at 11.45am. Pride The first game of Pride Round at the Kyneton Showgrounds on SaturCup Presentation at 7.30pm followed by enterday kicks off at 10am with the U17 netballers and finishes at 5.15pm with tainment at 8pm by the wonderful Cassidy La the Senior Womens Football team. Crème.
Diversity and inclusion need to be present in every level of sport, and Kyneton Football Netball Club knows just how important it is within their community. A Pride Round function for the community at the Kyneton Showgrounds next Saturday will spread the message of inclusion and diversity. The Pride Round celebrates inclusion in sport for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ). The first game kicks off at 10am with the U17 netballers and finishes at 5.15pm with the Senior Womens Football team. This year’s match sees Kyneton take on Castlemaine at the Kyneton Showgrounds with nine teams involved in the round this year; who will take home the Pride Cup for 2022? KFNC aspires to develop a framework for achieving excellence, for both players and coaches. The goal is to build from the ground up an inclusive, diverse and welcoming football netball club that fosters all levels of play. Jason Ball, co-founder of Pride Cup Australia, said Pride Cup had made strong progress
Gisborne sitting pretty, five in a row for Tigers
Undefeated at the halfway mark of the Bendigo League season, Gisborne senior footballers have an iron grip on top spot, and are clearly the side to beat in the 2022 premiership race. The Bulldogs methodically accounted for Eaglehawk by 63 points on Saturday, and can look forward to the second half of the season with plenty of confidence. Gisborne began the day at Eaglehawk with the Under 18s having a 15.6 to 3.4 victory, in-form Harry Luxmore contributing seven goals. The Reserves followed up with an 11.7 to 6.2 margin, setting the stage for the main match. Restricting Eaglehawk to just five goals at Canterbury Park was a fine performance. To be unbeaten with a whopping percentage of 292.48 at this stage of the season is probably more than the most ardent Gisborne supporter could have envisaged before the first round. This Saturday the Bulldogs head north to play a Sandhurst combination anxious to cause an upset. Scores: Gisborne 14.16 (100) d Eaglehawk 5.7 (37). Goals (G) – M. McDonald, B. Blake 4, S.Wilson 2, M. Pannucio, P. McKenna, M. Merrett, F. Lakey.
FIVE IN A ROW FOR KYNETON As expected, Kyneton captured the four points against bottom-side Maryborough, the fifth win in succession for the Tigers. Kyneton is now in fourth spot on the ladder, just behind Golden Square on percentage. Golden Square’s demolition of secondplaced Strathfieldsaye was a highlight of the ninth round of matches. The Storm could only manage three goals in a substandard performance. Kyneton’s Rhys Magin again proved his versatility, finishing with six goals for the second week in succession, and Frazer Driscoll reaffirmed his ranking as one of the recruits of the year in the Bendigo League. Magin has proved to be a nightmare for opposition defenders this season, and an inspiration to teammates. Steve Georgiou, playing his second match in the senior side, contributed four goals and provides a further avenue to goal. In contrast to the previous round when they kicked 9.19 against Sandhurst, the Tigers used the ball much better; Maryborough improved on recent form but has a long way to go to be competitive against the sides pressing for spots in the top five.
Tigers lift in netball
Kyneton A-grade netballers secured a thrilling come-from-behind victory against Maryborough on Saturday. The Tigers produced their best netball when it mattered, stopping Maryborough’s bid for a clean sweep of victories. Newcomer Manaia stepped up and was very clever in goal attack, while the versatile Rachel Mangan shone at wing defence. Kyneton won 49-46, and unbeaten ladderleader Sandhurst held off Castlemaine for a 62-46 margin. Gisborne teams showed their class against Eaglehawk, with the unbeaten 17&U Bulldogs’ side setting the scene with a runaway 83-23 margin. Current ladder: Sandhurst 36, Kangaroo Flat, Gisborne 28, South Bendigo 22, Castlemaine 20, Kynsrton 14, Strathfieldsaye 12, Maryborough 8, Eaglehawk 8, Golden Square 0.

Kyneton Reserves won 16.21 to 0.1 in a match where the home side could field just 18 players; in the Under 18s Maryborough 7.16 defeated Kyneton 4.4. TOUGH GOING FOR CASTLEMAINE Castlemaine seniors, after a tremendous effort to lose to Eaglehawk by just one point, found a Sandhurst combination determined to make amends for the loss at Kyneton in the previous round. Final scores were Sandhurst 3.6, 9.7, 12.17, 19.21 (135) to Castlemaine 0.2, 2.4, 2.6, 3.6 (24). Goal kickers were Tommy Horne and Bradley Keogh. Best were Tommy Horne, Brendan Josey, Jackson Hood and Riley Pedretti. Reserves: Sandhurst 22.21 d Castlemaine 4.1; U18s – Sandhurst 12.19 d Castlemaine 3.5. THIS SATURDAY Kyneton v Castlemaine. Sandhurst v Gisborne. Eaglehawk v Strathfieldsaye. Maryborough v Kangaroo Flat. Golden Square v South Bendigo.
