Bid to host Games

It may not yet be approved as a Commonwealth games inclusion. But if mountain biking does get the official nod then Harcourt's La Larr Ba Gauwa Mountain Bike Park should be the place to host it. This is the case being strongly – and jointly – put by both the City of Greater Bendigo and Mount Alexander Shire Council whose leading reps met there, Friday, to formally announce their hosting ambition. "It makes so much sense to put it

here," Mount Alexander CEO Darren Fuzzard said on site Friday. “La Larr Ba Gauwa has already hosted national-level competition. "We have been working on this pitch for several weeks and when the Victorian Government opened the EOI process last week for additional sports to be considered, we were quick to submit La Larr Ba Gauwa Mountain Bike Park as the perfect venue to host mountain biking." The Union Cycliste Internationale, Commonwealth Games Federation and the state government first must agree to include mountain biking in the 2026

sports program – with a decision expected to be announced later this year. But with both local councils strongly advocating for La Larr Ba Gauwa Mountain Bike Park to be the host venue, competitive mountain bikers like Taradale's Owen Fletcher – who's already notched up impressive results at national championship level – are more than hopeful of seeing the bid succeed. "It's steep, technical, rocky and good fun," says Fletcher of the imposing local park. "It would be really amazing getting the Games here and it might also en-

courage more locals to take up mountain biking." The Taradale mountain biker was among several talented local mountain bikers who hope to compete in the 2026 Games and who joined executives and mayors from both local councils on site for Friday's joint announcement of the Games bid. The application is also supported by Traditional Owners, the Dja Dja Wurrung, with DJAARA CEO Rodney Carter stating that hosting competition at the park would be an opportunity to share Dja Dja Wurrung culture with the world.

Snap rally to stop logging

A 15-year-old cyclist has fractured both elbows after falling from his bike when a passer-by threw an object into his front wheel at Woodend. The cyclist was riding on Ashbourne Road towards High Street at 4pm on July 5 when the incident occurred. Police are appealing to the public for information. They believe a male aged in his 50s wearing a blue and white checked shirt walking west along Ashbourne Road may be able to assist with enquiries. Police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward or anyone who may have dash-cam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1300 333 000 or the Kyneton Police Station on 5421 2900. They should quote incident number: 220214468.

Bid for home in Farm Zone

A proposal to build a home in the Farm Zone for horse husbandry at Bolinda will go before Macedon Ranges Shire Council later this month. Farm management plans submitted to support the need for a house include keeping six brood mares, cattle/sheep grazing, revegetation and weed management. The site is 22.534ha in size and is located on the north side of Mullalys Road, about 320m south-east of its intersection with Kilmore Road. Surrounding properties are generally of a rural nature and used for agriculture. Most of the properties contain dwellings with the nearest dwelling being approximately 390 metres to the south-east.

Greater gliders, powerful owls, koalas and the critically endangered wombat leafless bossiaea are among those in need of urgent protection. “The industrial scale ‘salvage’ logging by VicForests is being promoted as reducing bushfire risk, but instead is destroying critical habitat for wildlife," Ms Osborne said. "It has become overwhelmingly clear that this operation is a log grab to prop up a failing industry.”

Artists deliver new course Eve Lamb

Established Castlemaine artists Zoe Amor and Helen Kelly know what it's like to turn a personal passion into a professional practice. Unfortunately, for many talented artists, it's not always something that comes about easily – or ever. But now the two accomplished practitioners are teaming together to deliver a new course aimed at helping the artistically inclined turn their talents into professional practice, and, if they choose, also into an income stream. Set to begin this Thursday, the new Intro to Professional Practice in the Arts course is among the new semester of course offerings being delivered through Castlemaine Community House. "We're both excited about it," says Helen. "Zoe and I have so much to offer and we're doing it jointly so people are going to get a big bang for their buck." Running through to mid-September, the new course includes a focus on preparation for exhibition, marketing, promotion and sales of artworks, and expanding waged and self-employment opportunities. "It's the first time we've run it and it's also been at the request of many people," says Zoe. Zoe says the course will delve into many aspects of professional practice including event management, collaboration, grant writing, gallery and studio arrangements, marketing and business skills. The new offering complements the already popular Art Pathways course offered through the community house, and will also culminate in the creation of an event, such as exhibition, affording students a

Our organics are not ‘waste’

YIMBY composters collect rich sources of carbon (leaves) to add to their compost. The other important imagining of YIMBY is connected communities, working together to solve problems, collectively, on a local scale. Lucy Young, coordinator of YIMBY, ask questions such as “what if we lived in connected communities that shared responsibility, each person contributing within their capacity?” One YIMBY composter, Gemma said,

“it’s a kind of weird thing, and hard to explain, but even just picking up my neighbour’s bucket, not even talking with them, has built a relationship with that person. It’s early days yet, but it gives me a sense of belonging, doing something meaningful, it feels good”. Victorian state legislation dictates that all local council are required to remove organics from landfill by 2030, this is a positive

MENS Council turn-around on Lancefield footpath WINTER Lancefield residents required to move their fences to accommodate a new council footpath have been given a reprieve. Last month the Express reported that 12 High Street residents had until December's end to remove fence lines encroaching onto the road reserve. Some were being asked to shift entire front fence lines and gardens at their own cost for encroaching as little as 30cms. It was an ask that residents called "ludicrous" and "beyond unreasonable". Macedon Ranges Shire Council issued warnings in May as it progressed plans for a 1.5m wide concrete footpath that stretches 265 metres. Fourteen properties will be fronting the works. Last week MRSC’s director of assets and operations, Shane Walden, said construction plans had since been reviewed in response to concerns and feedback from residents. “Our officers have developed new evaluation criteria ensuring this project is able to continue without impacting fence lines," he said. "This outcome ensures that the township has good connectivity for people of all abilities along the new concrete footpath connecting into the existing footpath in this area." The new evaluation criteria takes into account existing constraints and hazards, and the overall impacts to the footpath plans and compliance. It is anticipated that works will begin later this year. Once confirmed, council will advise residents on the planned construction start date.

step, aimed at reducing methane emissions from landfill. While many councils are transitioning to a three/four bin system, YIMBY is excited to trial this local alternative way of nutrient cycling food scraps, and growing community resilience too.

Transitioning to a localised economy is both pressing and exciting. As we learn of recycling industries in crisis, rising fuel prices and unaffordable lettuce, the YIMBY (Yes In My Back Yard) members scratch their collective heads, especially when it comes to removing food organics from landfill and increasing local food growing capacity. YIMBY composters are hard at work in their local community and are having an impact in reducing the shire’s emissions from landfill, improving local soil and their capacity to grow lettuce and all without the use of fossil-fuelled transport. Since January, community composters have collected 4682kg of food scraps from their neighbours, that’s 4.6 tonne not going to landfill and lots of rich compost going back to local soils. That’s a lot of local lettuce being grown! YIMBY is proud to be one of 24 successful projects in the first round of the Recycling Victoria Communities Fund and one bucket at a time, the YIMBY trial is transforming the way we imagine ‘waste’ and ‘circular economy’. Instead of looking to ‘big’ and complex solutions, where the problem is externalised, in other words, we pay someone to take it ‘away’, YIMBY embraces the motto ‘there is no away'… and our organics are not ‘waste’. Thinking about our food scraps, not as ‘waste’ but rather nutrients, to be cycled back into nutrient-hungry soil, to grow more lettuces, or anything else, is a simple but radical shift in how the ‘problem’ is approached.

Business extension rejected

A Lancefield-based earthmoving business has been denied an extension of operating hours in response to noise and health objections. Current conditions limit the hours and days that commercial vehicles may depart and arrive from the site to protect the amenity of the nearby property owners. The Grahams Road business operator sought to extend operations by one hour in the morning to begin at 6am for the ability to attend work sites earlier. Three objections from nearby property owners relayed concerns of amenity impacts, health issues and sleep disturbance, and disregard for Rural Living Zone requirements. While Macedon Ranges Shire Council planning officers recommended approval, councillors voted against the change. A motion, unopposed, stated the application was incompatible with the surrounding area and inconsistent with EPA guidelines for noise operations.

Check before removing native vegetation

Meditation retreat denied

Before removing or trimming native vegetation on your property, please contact Council to discuss your needs. Native vegetation is protected and a permit may be required for removal of trees, bushes, grasses and herbs. Unauthorised clearance of native vegetation could result in a penalty.

Plans for a meditation retreat on Tylden farming land have been denied for a second time. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal rejected the application for 286 Central Road earlier this month on the grounds that it would not protect and enhance the Farm Zone. VCAT member Sarah McDonald said the "proposal will contribute to promoting a rural lifestyle use and development which (MRSC) strategies seek to avoid". Macedon Ranges Shire Council made the same call, against planning officer recommendation, in November last year. Plans included extension to an existing building, conversion of a shed to a prayer room, construction of an outbuilding, car parking and signage. Applicants sought up to 10 patrons for a total of eight hours for one day per calendar month but failed to convince there were genuine agricultural pursuits. In their objections, farming neighbours said the plan would disrupt genuine farming activities in the area, increase traffic and impact amenity. Neighbours had opposed a similar

Examples of property clean up that may require a permit include using heavy machinery to clean up fallen trees (if property clean up exposes the soil you may be damaging the native vegetation), clearing away understory to sow grass under trees, and any tree or shrub removal.

Have your say on the Woodend Community Centre redevelopment The Woodend Community Centre revitalisation project is a key priority for Council in 2022. Following the work undertaken through the master plan and business case process, a concept design has been developed using feedback from the community and facility users. Council is now inviting residents to have their say on the design concept and help shape the Woodend Community Centre into a modern, multi-purpose facility that meets community needs.

planning permit with increased uses, which was issued in 2016 and expired before works began. The 2016 permit allowed the meditation centre to operate every Sunday with a maximum of 50 people and three times a year with a maximum of 80 people. The previous proposal was acknowledged but the decision was based on the current application and the current planning scheme. Ms McDonald said the proposal would not directly result in the loss of land currently being used for agricultural purposes, and said it was modest in scale, but still held concerns. "The proposal conflicts with the policies and provisions of the planning scheme that seek to continue, support and enhance agricultural activity and production of the land," she said. "There is nothing about this proposal that is related to the agricultural use of the site or the surrounding area. Nor does it relate to or support sustainable management of the land." The council's original decision to reject the permit was upheld.

Castlemaine Library’s Stuart Winser is coordinating this year’s Adult Spelling Bee and has been studying up on some challenging words in the Macquarie Dictionary!

Do you fancy yourself to be an exceptional speller? Can you recite all those grammatical rules we learned at school in your sleep? Or are you always wondering if embarrassing has one r or two? Then the time has come to join in on a night of spelling hilarity! Castlemaine Library will be hosting its eighth annual Adult Spelling Bee this Thursday evening. It's hotly contested, sometimes controversial, and always fun!Willing competitors will be drawn at random from the audience to demonstrate their spelling prowess, while the unwilling get to watch them wrestle with hard words. But beware – one mistake results in elimination! The last speller standing wins a literary inspired prize. Castlemaine Library manager Jess Saunders says this event aims first and foremost to be lots of fun for both audience and participants alike. “We love hosting this event so that people can have a bit of fun, and test their spelling abilities – it’s not super serious," Jess says "It’s great to be able to engage our library users in a different way, to stretch our thinking and have a laugh at the same time. "People tell us that computers have ruined their ability to spell, but I think that we are all better than we think we are! "Ironically, did you know that one of the most commonly misspelled words is misspell?” Everyone who comes along will have the opportunity to complete a Spelling Test, so even if you don’t get chosen for the stage, there will still be a chance to win a prize and spell some long words. It may even include some curly literary trivia, and questions on more modern lingo too! The Adult Spelling Bee will be held at Castlemaine Library on Thursday evening from 5pm-6.30pm.

About the Project

Community Beneﬁts

In May 2018, the Victorian Government announced the Old Kyneton Primary School would be retained in public ownership, and feedback was sought on the community’s interest in the site. That engagement process found a strong preference for the site to become a community hub.

The project will unlock an asset currently not available to the community and its visitors. The site will integrate the local character of Kyneton by retaining existing trees and providing new landscaping.

In the 2020-21 State Budget, $12 million was allocated to the project. This funding will help bring the buildings up to a usable standard and pave the way for future stages of redevelopment. After an Expression of Interest (EOI) process, Working Heritage was appointed as future site operator in June 2021.

Planning Application A planning application has been submitted to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) seeking approval for work to enable continued community use. The planning application also includes the following work:

Internal and external upgrades to meet public building compliance and accessibility Minor demolition to some of the building exterior to provide entries and windows Some interior reconﬁguration within both the bluestone building and 1980s building

The space will be available for use by local creative enterprises and community groups – supporting the growth of the region’s creative industries and increasing creative opportunities.

Planning Pathway We Are Here: A planning submission was lodged with DELWP in June 2022.

Splash Buddies Swim School seeks to move to the New Gisborne Industrial Estate but requires approval to operate a recreation facility in the zone. Gisborne South-based Splash Buddies Swim School could be forced to shut down if its bid to relocate is rejected. Owner Rynelle Mills told Macedon Ranges Shire councillors last week that the school could no longer operate from its current site. "At our current Gisborne South location we have no ability to heat our pool year-round and unfortunately we've explored every option," Ms Mills said. "Failing this, unfortunately means closing down our business and therefore 470 kids will be out of swimming lessons and 15 staff out of employment. It would put pressure on an already overcrowded / at-capacity Gisborne Aquatic Centre." Ms Mills seeks to move the swim school to Pioneer Way in the New Gisborne Industrial Estate but requires approval to operate a recreation facility in the zone. In 2021, the council approved a permit for two warehouses at the site, each with 32-car parking spaces. The proposal is to

change the existing use for one of those warehouses to an indoor recreation facility. The proposed floor plan includes two swimming pools, a pilates studio, change room facilities and a reception area with associated car parking. Previous recreational businesses have operated from the industrial estate including those for gymnastics and fitness. Ms Mills said the MRSC draft Gisborne Futures plan listed recreation as "appropriate and needed" for both industrial and commercial land. "Since reopening after the pandemic every swim school in our shire and surrounding shires have wait lists," she said. "We provide a service that is needed and expected in our community... We hope that we can continue having the positive impact we're having in the community." Macedon Ranges Shire Council will consider the proposal at the next scheduled council meeting.

Woodend Community Centre's redevelopment design concept is open for community feedback. The redevelopment of the centre is one of Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s key priorities. Council's director of planning and environment, Rebecca Stockfeld, said it was important that community members were able to provide input to the design of the centre. “This facility will cater to a wide range of people and groups in Woodend and surrounds," she said.

"It’s really important that we capture the needs and preferences of the community so we can ensure the redevelopment of the centre is fit for purpose and is a central hub all can utilise and enjoy for years to come." The concept and designs for the revitalised Woodend Community Centre are jointly funded by council and Regional Development Victoria.

Rationale build complete

HAVE A LITTLE FAITH

Prestige skincare brand Rationale has completed its multi-million dollar facility in Kyneton. The relocation has enabled the company to create around 50 new jobs in Kyneton and for 50 existing staff to move to the region, which has supported the brand to grow across local and international markets. New jobs have been created across areas including research, training, production, worldwide logistics and operations. The new Kyneton headquarters will support the company to manufacture, package and distribute in-house, onsite and at scale to meet expected growth in local and export markets. The move coin-

cides with Rationale's 30th anniversary of producing luxury skincare products. Rationale exports products to the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan and will launch in the United States later this year. The company operates 14 flagship clinics for consultations and sales in Australian capital cities and another two in Singapore. Design elements within the new Kyneton facility reflect the company’s close ties with art and culture, including a two-storey high screen gallery in the reception area that showcases work by Australian artists. The facility also includes a photo studio to support the company to create its own marketing content.

A new training facility, fitted to mimic the flagship clinic treatment rooms, will allow onsite training for product agents, cosmetic doctors and other partners. Rationale's products focus on local ingredients and the new research and development centre allows the company to develop new mixtures sourcing locallymade raw materials. The company has started six months of trial batches at the facility to ensure its systems and procedures can be certified before kicking off full-scale production at the end of the year. The move to Kyneton was supported by the Andrews Labor Government’s Regional Jobs Fund.

A contemporary classic since 1994, St Hallett Faith is a vibrant and expressive example of Barossa Shiraz - a juicy, fruit driven wine that packs a punch of flavour. This wine is named in honour of the small group of European immigrants who, with a leap of faith, settled in the Barossa in 1842 and established small farms and vineyards. 2020 was a good vintage with grape yields up on previous years. Fruit was selected from vineyards in both central and south Barossa regions and matured in both French and American oak barrels. Deep purple in colour with dark berry fruits, pepper, spices and chocolate on the palate. A long, savoury finish with soft tannins, complex oak flavours and generous mouthfeel.

The young artist was thrilled to be offered her own space to showcase four of her works at Kyneton Library. Each piece incorporates mixed media to tell themed stories: Dance Party, Under the Sea, Space and African Savanna.

Kitty told the Express an important aspect was using recycled materials such as cardboard, tin foil and paper. Her display opened last week and Kitty hopes it will help to inspire more children to create art and share their creativity. With a keen eye for style, Kitty said she would love be a fashion designer when she grows up.

Bliss out this spring

Safe Space opens doors

The Castlemaine Safe Space was officially launched last Friday afternoon and begins operation this week. The space aims to provide a warm and inviting drop-in space for anyone in the community in emotional distress, or experiencing loneliness or suicidal thoughts. It is a community designed and led, and staffed by trained peer volunteers with lived experience. The new space will 'pop-up' in two locations weekly at the Castlemaine Senior Citizens Centre in Mechanics Lane (next door to the library) Tuesday evenings from 6pm-8.30pm and at The Salvation Army Hall in Kennedy Street (next to the train station) Saturday mornings from 1.30pm-4pm.

Take part in dance, mindfulness, workshops, health and wellbeing information, exercise and affirmations. With more than 40 different market stalls there is something for everyone to browse. Ms Hart said there was increasing demand in the region for activities and services that promoted good mental health. "This was one way to bring a range of activities together for people to experience and is something everyone can enjoy," she said. The festival will also have designated sensory spaces where people can take a break from crowds and festivities without the need to leave the venue. Spring Bliss Festival will be held at Hanging Rock on November 5, from 10am to 5pm. Ms Hart said a portion of profits from the festival would support local mental health initiatives.

Kyneton Theatre Company has opened auditions for its November production of We Will Rock You. Based on the music of British rock band Queen, We Will Rock You is set 300 years in the future where musical instruments and composers are forbidden, and rock music is all but unknown. It tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought and fashion, and live music in a world where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same. Auditions will be held at Kyneton's Bluestone Theatre on Saturday July 23 and Sunday July 24 from 10am to 5pm.

When it comes to catering, convenience does not always need to mean 'plasticwrapped' but may require some pre-planning, Macedon Ranges mayor Cr Jennifer Anderson has found. Two weeks into Plastic Free July, Cr Anderson has been considering the challenges and temptations when it comes to preparing meals with limited time. "Everyone is short of time sometimes and may find themselves shopping for their next meal in a hurry or while hungry," she said. "One of my easiest meals to prepare at home does come in soft plastic, but has a cardboard outer and a hard plastic tray. "It was tempting to purchase it but it made me think I need to ensure I have a plan for meals on the go, or when I am tired, that doesn't involve soft plastic or single-use plastic." Cr Anderson settled on making potato, leek and cauliflower soup from veggies

purchased at the market. It took about 30 minutes to prepare. Some of the solutions she arrived at to conquer those time-poor days included: * Pre-preparing easy meals from fresh produce and unprocessed ingredients in advance and freezing them to bring them out to easily reheat when short on time and energy. * Looking for takeaway options or businesses that make easy to take away food with less packaging, knowing their opening hours and going in person instead to those where plastic is involved. * Talking to businesses to see if you can BYO containers for them to put your readymade meal in. * Considering growing some produce yourself such as herbs rocket, kale. * Learning to cook or make produce at home to rely less on packaged and processed goods.

options for event catering throughout the week, some more mindful of plastic use than others. "I went to an event where there was a lot of single-use plastic: balloons, plastic water bottles, plastic glasses. COVID has created some of this," she said. "I went to another event that had beautiful small posies of flowers on the tables instead of balloons. "Food hygiene requires certain grades of packaging so sometimes some products may not be able to come in something other than plastic. Consider if you could try a different product if this is the case. "Macedon Ranges Shire Council has developed a plastic-free catering pack to assist people in knowing what the alternatives are." Cr Anderson's own personal challenge this month is to reduce her soft plastics to 200 grams and at the end of week two her total so far is 54 grams.

Nominations are being taken for either a couple or single individuals you think would be ideal for the role. Be sure to first ask your nominees if they would really like to take up the royal challenge. In the last full festival in 2019, King Richard and Queen Jen Wyatt were widely involved in the fun and events. They accompanied four princesses and princes drawn from local primary schools. Visits to nursing homes if this is permissible under COVID-safe conditions and other events can also be on the agenda for Daffodil Royals. The festival is from September 1 concluding on September

A two-lot subdivision has been approved for a 5780m² lot at 36 Bolithos Road, Riddells Creek. Macedon Ranges Shire Council approved the application but councillor Geoff Neil called it an example of "bad planning". Cr Neil was the only councillor to vote against the application, which attracted four objections relating to town character, access, sewer/storm water, and potential for doublestorey and overlooking. The application was approved with an extensive list of conditions, an addition to the council officer recommendation was to prohibit construction above single-storey.

Helpers H elpers sought s ought for for Mother Mother Goose Goose

The Parent-Child Mother Goose program is seeking volunteers to help with its weekly song, rhyme and storytelling sessions. Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s Parent-Child Mother Goose program is seeking volunteers to help with its weekly song, rhyme and storytelling sessions. The sessions are currently held in Kyneton and Romsey and, once enough volunteers are found, there are plans to extend the program to Gisborne and Riddells Creek. “We are looking for people that can spare three hours a week,” says Tracey Thiele, who facilitates the groups. “Volunteers for the Parent-Child Mother Goose program don’t need any specific qualifications or experience working with children, they help support the parents and the pre-school participants, and help to setup and pack-down for each session.”

Volunteers are offered training in the Parent-Child Mother Goose program, which involves an introduction to the songs, rhymes and stories used in the sessions and learning the theory behind the program. Mother Goose enhances the bond between parent and child, and connects families in the community. If you would like to volunteer with the Mother Goose program, email: volunteering@scchc.org.au If you are interested in coming along with your child, contact Tracey Thiele on 5421 1666 or email tracey.thiele@scchc. org.au Sessions are currently held in Romsey on a Wednesday afternoon and in Kyneton on a Thursday morning.

Theme Nights are new to the menu at Jack High Bar and Bistro at the Kyneton Bowling Club! Enjoy a roast dinner on Wednesdays for just $19, chicken parmigiana on Thursdays for $16, fish and chips on Fridays for $15.50 (either battered or grilled) and burgers on Saturday nights for just $17.50. Proprietor Angie Wright says the regular menu will also be available, plus gluten-free and vegan options. New chef Lee Kilpatrick was born in Canada and grew up in New Zealand and has brought a whole new outlook to the kitchen. Vegan herself, Lee has introduced lots of vegan and vegetarian dishes to be explored. "She's been with me now for two months, and landed in my lap at just the right time!" Angie says. "We've done a brand new menu and it's quite large." The winter menu includes favourites such as lamb shanks, chicken schnitzels, pork belly and a good old-fashioned mixed grill, burgers and sandwiches, corned beef, salmon, pasta, and beef or vegan lasagna with eggplant. For the more adventurous there is also a falafel dish and Moroccan spiced chickpea bowl. Starters include cob loaf (cheese or plain), soup, Middle Eastern spiced chicken skewers, arancini and more. There's also a variety of desserts available. Children under five eat for free with their parents, while children's meals for five to 13-year-olds are just $12.50 and include an ice cream.

The Australian Taxation Office is warning taxpayers to not engage in ‘asset wash sales’ to artificially increase their losses and reduce gains or expected gains. Wash sales are a form of tax avoidance that the ATO is focused on this tax time. Wash sales typically involve the disposal of assets such as crypto and shares just before the end of the financial year, where after a short period of time, the taxpayer reacquires the same or substantially similar assets. This is a wash sale and is done to create a loss to offset against a gain already derived, or expected to be derived, in certain circumstances, in a tax return. A wash sale is different from normal buying and selling of assets because it is undertaken for the artificial purpose of generating a tax benefit for the current financial year. The taxpayer disposes of and reacquires the asset for the deliberate purpose of realising a capital gains loss and obtaining an unfair tax benefit. The ATO’s sophisticated data analytics can identify wash sales through access to data from share registries and crypto asset exchanges. When the ATO identifies this behaviour, the capital loss is rejected, resulting in an even bigger loss to the taxpayer. Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh urges taxpayers not to engage in this behaviour. “Don’t hang yourself out to dry by engaging in a wash sale. We want you to count your losses, not have them removed by the ATO,” Mr Loh said. The ATO is warning taxpayers who may be engaging in wash sales are at risk of facing swift compliance action and additional tax, interest and penalties may apply. Taxpayers are urged to ignore any advice encouraging a wash sale of any asset. The clear advice from the ATO is to check the ATO website or check with an independent registered tax professional and not to rely on advice you may receive through media, social media or advertisements. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

executor when making my Will?

Anyone over the age of 18 can be appointed as executor. However, you need to be aware that an executor is left with the stress and responsibility involved in administering your estate at a time when they may be grieving. As such it is important that you ensure that your executor will have the time and capability to carry out the required duties, even if that means appointing more than one executor. Talk to us today to discuss your circumstances.

Q: Whatt is common law

compensation in relation to a transport accident?

Common law compensation or common law damages is a lump sum payment for loss of past and future income and for pain and suffering. It is made in the case of serious injuries and seeks to recognise the long term impact a transport accident has on your life. The compensation is paid by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) on behalf of the person, party or organisation who was at fault for the transport accident. It is paid in addition to any treatment and support services you may receive from the TAC.

The process to change your loan to another bank is straightforward and some banks are offering Cashback incentives to refinance. But as interest rates increase, banks lend less. So, while it may have been easy to apply for a loan a few years ago, now it’s a little harder. We can let you know the loan options quickly so you can be confident all will go well when applying to refinance your home loan.

Yoga is a state of being

A balanced nervous system is the best way to support us when it comes to dealing with the stresses of daily life. One way to look after ourselves more effectively on a deeper level is to take care of our nervous system. That part of us that creates the link between thinking and feeling, our mind–body connection. The job of one part of our nervous system, the autonomic nervous system (ANS), is

to tell us HOW we are. Among other things it makes sure we survive in times of danger, and also to enjoy ourselves, connect with others and blossom in times of safety. If our ANS becomes unbalanced, we start to suffer and different systems in our body, such as the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine and gastrointestinal systems, can be affected. Not to mention our mood and mental state. What we are striving for is a healthy, balanced nervous system that is adaptable, flexible and resilient. This is where Iris of Amalin Yoga believes the practice of yoga and yoga nidra, the guided meditation, fits perfectly – the all-inclusive ancient art and science of healthy living. "When we practise yoga we befriend our nervous system," Iris said. "We get to know it and deepen our understanding about what it needs and how we can support and nourish it. "Using subtle, powerful yoga practices we move our complete being towards the state of wellbeing and balance, including our nervous system. "When we are in balance we feel grounded, calm, healthy, resourceful, hopeful, effective, generous and in alignment. "We can live joyfully, connect with others and laugh. "Yoga is a state of being." Iris is a yoga teacher helping individuals discover, build and strengthen their path to inner peace using subtle, powerful yogic practices. She has explored yoga for more than 35 years, and feels honoured to share with people what she has learned about the power of yoga and yoga nidra, to create lasting wellbeing on a deep inner level. Iris offers people a safe space to explore yoga, respecting wherever people are at, finding ways to move towards inner balance and to take care of the inner self and the nervous system. Whether it is – yoga for anxiety or stress – quieting your mind – strengthening body and nervous system Iris believes with the practices of yoga and yoga nidra we can change our life experience. Actively creating a better, more peaceful life for ourselves. All yoga courses, face to face and live online are starting this week.

Still struggling with those New Year resolutions? Still struggling with those New Year resolutions? That's because, ultimately it is not our willpower, or even our conscious mind, that determines what we do, says hypnotherapist Marianne Patterson. "We are controlled by ancient, primordial programs, deep in our subconscious," she says. "When we were hunter/gatherers all food around us was healthy. But, sometimes there was not enough, especially in cold winter months. "So, we evolved a clever trick, of storing any extra food in our bodies as fat, for the lean months. "However, fast forward to today. Now, there is more than enough food, and much of it is very unhealthy for us, leading to obesity, and Type 2 Diabetes epidemics. "Hypnotherapy can change this." Hypnotherapy is a safe, inexpensive means to enable people to have some control over those lifestyle choices (smoking, poor nutrition, overweight/obesity and physical inactivity). It works by eliminating 'cravings' for unhealthy foods that most overweight people have, and for smoking. "Hypnotherapy works by placing you in a deeply relaxed state,

whereby we can access your subconscious mind, and replace those unhelpful 'programs' with healthy programs, and it works for the rest of your life. How good is that?" Marianne says. Weight loss hypnotherapy works to: * Eliminate 'cravings' for unhealthy foods * Feel satisfied with smaller portion sizes, and feel full more quickly * Increase metabolism * Increase desire for exercise Hypnotherapy can also help you to successfully quit smoking. Look better, with younger-looking skin and whiter teeth. Perform better, with greater lung capacity, fitness and energy levels. Be more attractive and kissable, and no longer banished 'outside'! Live longer! Learn much more effective ways of dealing with stress. And, stop watching your money, and your health, go up in smoke. "Make the necessary lifestyle changes, and save your own life!" Marianne says. Call 0437 001 065 and talk to Marianne for more information, or to make an appointment at Kyneton Hypno Therapies, and really make it happen this time!

New expertise and a new language Dr Yasmanthi Weththasinghe has joined Ochre Medical Centre Lancefield, adding Sinhalese to the languages spoken at the practice – which is already home to speakers of Arabic, Assyrian, Dutch, German, Hindi, Punjabi and Russian! Dr Weththasinghe practised for 10 years in her native Sri Lanka, working in both general practice and hospital medicine, before moving to Australia in 2021. Following her arrival, she worked as a GP in a rural practice in Wodonga, which she greatly enjoyed. “Our patients were so friendly and I loved looking after their families and being able to take a holistic approach to their care,” she says. “Leaving that practice has been a bit emotional for me as I formed some really close patient relationships. For example, one of my patients came to me with back pain that she’d had for a few years. I performed some additional investigations and the results were a shock.” An MRI revealed a suspected malignancy that turned out to be secondary cancer – the patient had a primary breast cancer that had gone undetected. “It was hard for her to hear that diagnosis. Cancer had never crossed her mind as a possibility and she was shocked, but she thanked me for listening and finding an answer after she had been suffering for so long.” The patient is now under specialist care and Dr Weththasinghe believes she has a good chance of making a full recovery. While she is sad to leave behind her Wodonga patients, Dr Weththasinghe is very pleased to be moving to Lancefield to care for a different community and also live an easy commute from Melbourne, where her husband will be working. “I really love the town and the practice,” she says. “A friend, who is very happy at the Ochre practice, recommended it as a lovely place to work.” Away from medicine, Dr Weththasinghe enjoys spending any spare time she has with her family outdoors, and particularly likes cycling. “But I have three kids,” she says, “So I’m a busy mum and there’s not a lot of spare time! I also love cooking. I’m always happy to try any new recipes!” Dr Yasmanthi Weththasinghe will be accepting new patients at Ochre Medical Centre Lancefield. Bookings can be made via ochrehealth.com. au or by calling the practice on 5429 1362.

Equine-assisted therapy helps with trauma Trauma in a person's life can overwhelm. As trauma expert Dr Dan Siegel explains, it can be an experience we have that overwhelms our capacity to cope. "The ongoing pandemic could be defined in this way for some people. It is still causing stress and uncertainty for many," says Elizabeth Hannah, practitioner and principal at Black Horse Therapies. She says that it is also worth noting what US expert Dr Stephen Porges has written: “A crisis elicits threat-related responses, disrupts our capacity to regulate our behavioural and emotional states, interferes with our optimism, and compromises our ability to trust and feel safe with another”. Equine-assisted therapy has been found to be of benefit to people who have a history of trauma as well as those who struggle with emotional regulation and the management of stress and anxiety. Participants practise finding a place of calm inside themselves,

which is assisted by their interactions with the horse. The horse gives feedback about their inner state, which helps them to be aware of their emotions. When participants calm themselves the horse responds by also becoming calm. With horses we can experience a sense of mutual trust and safety, of connection with another being and total acceptance as we are. Participants also practise leadership and assertiveness without aggression or force. "The skills learned in the relationships, which are built between the person and the horse and with myself as the therapist, can be transferred to relationships with others in their life.” "All of this improves confidence and a sense of self-worth," Elizabeth says.

Ken Maas ('Dwarfing its predecessor', Opinions, June 14) makes the point that the war in Ukraine would not have begun if NATO or the Ukraine government had pledged “not to install nuclear weapons into Ukraine”. It is disturbing that the rationale for invading a democratic country is the concern that something might happen and that some people think this invasion is, therefore, okay. On the global stage of diplomacy, there are many scenarios being acted out and President Putin blinked first in this case – not the USA or NATO or Ukraine. On March 15, 2022, President Zelenskyy conceded that “Ukraine will not join NATO” (theguardian.com). Did President Putin then think that bombing a maternity and children’s hospital (March 9), a theatre bearing the word 'children' (March 16) or a shopping mall (June 28) would rid Ukraine of Mr Maas’ potential nuclear weapons? I don’t think those weapons were hidden in any of those locations. On May 23, a Russian soldier was sentenced to life imprisonment for war crimes. In June, “President Putin confirmed that in Ukraine, he is leading a war of imperialist conquest. He and his nation were not, as he described on May 9, defending themselves against NATO aggression and encirclement. He described how, like the conquests of Pe-

Specialising in spin Huntly Barton, Greenhill Coliban Water have finally released their application to the EPA for a licence amendment to the public for comment. As you would expect from an organisation that specialises in spin, the document is large, complicated and designed to confuse. On my brief assessment l conclude that CW wish to retain their 'licence to pollute' with little change. What amazes me is there is no mention of the problem of the invasion of stormwater into the sewage system. It is this problem that causes diversion of raw sewage to the ponds, threatening overflow. CW then has no choice but to release lowgrade water full of nutrients and pathogens into the river. Unless CW address this problem there can be no change and the river will continue to be used as a drain, every time we get heavy rain. The community that has been affected by the pollution of the Campaspe River by KWRP has continually asked CW to produce a quality of water that will not threaten the environment. What is it that prevents CW from providing a solution that protects the environment?

ter the Great, it was Russia's "lot to return and strengthen" (abc.net.au on July 12). While thanking our democracies that we are fortunate to be able to write these opinion pieces with opposite views and without censorship or imprisonment for using the word, 'war', I hope Mr Maas and his ilk accept that violence is never the answer to dealing with different perspectives on an issue.

Re. the front page article on July 5 ('Farmers push for strategy rethink'). Macedon Ranges Shire's Draft Rural Land Use Strategy is up for review and yes, farmers and communities are angry, but the truth is, this is not a new issue. Late last year a meeting was held by the shire council and again early this year for ratepayers affected by the 'Windfall Gains Tax'. Why is this a concern? Well simply the State Revenue Office has declared growth areas in all LGAs across the state. Within those growth areas are new rezoned 'residential zones' that were once farming regions. With the rezone of the growth area, current farmers, on selling their properties, will be impacted by the Windfall Gains Tax on top of the capital gains tax they will pay on sale of their property. I spent all of last year travelling around the state in my previous job working with primary producers impacted by the new law, which comes into effect in June 2023. The new law has passed draft submission and will be implemented by state government. I spoke with six LGAs who did not want to pass on the new strategy but were pressured by the state government to do so. So what does this mean for farmers in the MRSC? Well, they will be heavily penalised for the type of practices they operate. Livestock farmers will be the most affected, followed by cropping businesses. Horticulture and viticulture will be mildly impacted. Cardinal Shire is one example of how badly affected farmers were and the rate of property interest that doubled since it came into effect.

My advice, call another planning meeting with the shire and push the agenda for review. You won't change what has been approved but it will help ratepayers to see what and how it will affect their farms.

Precious portraits, keepsakes and artefacts treasured by members of the Newstead community are part of a unique new exhibition, Precious, at Newstead Arts Hub. The exhibition is part of the Embers winter series and aims to engage the local community. The exhibition was officially opened with a community event at the arts space on Saturday morning and continues this weekend July 23-24. Curator Gordon Dowell said the exhibition featured about 30 unique items each accompanied with a story about the special importance they held for their owner. Some of these items include a well-worn bicycle ridden across Europe by Bob Clutterbuck, clap sticks belonging to Bronwen Algate created by an Indigenous artist and friend, and a magnificent platter owned by Julie Patey that proudly hung on a redbrick wall at Newstead's iconic Dig Cafe for 10 years. Bob said the old bike, now battered and rusty, was brand new in 1979 when he set off via a one-way ticket to Amsterdam, to ride around Europe. "It was a different colour then, with a pannier rack on the back and it had a leather saddle, but otherwise it was the same. It was a big adventure. There were lots of challenges," he said. "I ended up riding through 10 different countries. "The mountains, rivers, culture, food, sights, colours, smells, history…the architecture, art, people and languages…all indelible experiences, all devoured eagerly. A thousand vignettes in a thousand places." Bronwen Algate's treasured clap sticks were created by Indigenous artist and friend Norm. Bronwen befriended Norm while playing with bands in the Northern Rivers region. "Norm had been through some tough times, but was such a beautiful soul. Life was looking up. He was playing music with local bands and had scored a job doing burnt artwork in a leather goods shop when he made these," she said. Julie Patey's precious item is a stunning platter adorned in wildlife created by Victorian ceramic artist Massey Hirst. "This remarkable platter has been in my life since 1982 when I met Massey and studied with him in Melbourne in 1983 and has travelled

Newstead locals Julie Patey, Bronwen Algate and Gordon Dowell are pictured with a few of the items in the new ‘Precious’ exhibition including Julie’s platter, Bronwen’s clap sticks and the bicycle pedalled across Europe by local Bob Clutterbuck. with me ever since," Julie said. "The platter represents life and rebirth around and on all Australian waterways. The birds are Australian but the historical influence is Persian and Egyptian mixed with a touch of Minoan," Julie said. Some of the other items that can be discovered in the exhibition include a copy of Gordon Dowell's prized Purple People Eater comic book, embroidery gifted to Maritza Gronda by her aunt and grandmother as the eight-year-old prepared to emigrate to Australia, and a toy truck belonging to Julian Cairns – a gift from the renowned 'Tim the Toyman' in Melbourne. "It’s an exhibition of the remarkable and the everyday: family heirlooms, collections, things created or crafted, art and photographs, strange objects, curios, toys and important documents. You can even see the Magic Monkey strut his stuff doing multiplication tables!" Gordon said. The emotive exhibition will be open from 10-4 this Saturday and Sunday at Newstead Arts Hub at 8A Tivey Street. To find out more visit newsteadartshub.org

KN265752

In the mid-Victorian era, many master builders were challenged with the idea of making a dwelling that would last hundreds of years. Such a man was builder Henry McBean. A Scotsman from the town of 'Balerno' near Edinburgh. He established a timber yard and stables plus an elevated joinery and solid brick home for his own use at 37 Bull Street, Castlemaine. McBean went on to build the Town Hall, H.S.W. Lawsons Legal Premises and three substantial Thompson's homes in Parker Street, Hargraves Street and Hall Street. Henry McBean's own house showed the quality of his work with high ceilings, tuck pointed brickwork, dressed bluestone steps and window ledges, stained glass windows and decorative wood a feature of verandah trimmings. A large hall provides an impressive entry with a well-lit front bedroom whilst opposite a lounge room with a unique hand painted ceiling, crafted by a German coach painter. Off the central passage finds another bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and right opposite a spacious sitting room with a black marble fireplace, providing gas fired warmth in winter. The master bedroom is nearby and features a walk-in-robe and a modern ensuite. At the end of the hallway is a dining room with mirrored wall and chandelier. Next door finds the kitchen with original wooden ceiling and a floor of ceramic tiles. Gas oven and hotplates, fridge and dishwasher are included. A very spacious rear lounge is north facing for winter sunshine, plus has a gas heater for total warmth. Attractive views of the in-ground pool and studio is a visual feature of this design in a relaxing area. Hydronic heating is also found throughout the home. The rooms beneath the home were used by the builder for offices and storage and is easily accessed. In recent years, the home was operated as a successful B&B. A brick studio/barn is located at the rear of the garden above a double carport. This home is set in a magnificent garden and within walking distance to the Castlemaine CBD, Botanical Gardens, schools, cafes, theatre and recreational facilities. A rare opportunity to purchase a historical home in this location.

Rangers U11 girls played like a polished machine.

Excitement for Rangers at home

With four of Macedon Rangers Soccer Club's teams at home on the weekend, there was an element of excitement around the club. The U11 girls and U8 boys started the day off, and with rain teaming and coffee from Zara flowing, the teams hit their respective pitches. The girls played like a polished machine, keeping their shape, finding the corridor but missing by inches when it counted – nonetheless coming away with a win. The U8s were sleek and smooth with Cooper Doolan loving the day with five goals to his name! Poor Cruz had nothing to do in the goals. Next up were the U9 girls and U13 mixed teams. With new players and positions for both teams, both defences were challenged but did exceptionally well in weather that only ducks would enjoy.

Yes, it was in Woodend!

Sunday July 10 was a clear sunny cloudless sky day (truly the best day of the winter by far!) The Woodend Hanging Rock Pétanque Club held its inaugural ‘Ashes’ competition against the Macedon Pétanque Club at the piste at the old racecourse on Forest Street in Woodend. Three games were played and the host club won the trophy on the day, with Louise Potter from WHRPC the highest scoring player. A morning tea was provided by Macedon, with home-baked delicacies and the the home club provided hot soup and extras for lunch. And, of course July 14 was Bastille Day, which the club celebrated at its home piste at Hanging Rock. It was a bit chilly, but 32 players managed to brave the elements and played three games, with Clive Potter the winner and Connie Ceccys and Beverly Forsyth running in equal second. A delicious lunch was provided by the club's social committee, of soup, French beef cassoulet and a yummy chocolate dessert with coulis and chantilly cream! New members are welcome to join the club. There is always some pétanque event to be looked to! They are at the Old Racecourse on a Monday at 2pm and then when daylight savings kicks in they are at Hanging Rock as well, on a Thursday at 4pm. Email any enquiries to secretary@ woodendhangingrockpetanque.com.au

in the 1200m Porter Plant BM70 race at Ballarat. Dashing clear in the straight, Hallowed Ground won by 2.5 lengths. Osborne said the win had rounded off a great preparation, and Hallowed Ground would go to a paddock at Romsey and enjoy the grass and fresh air for two or three weeks.

GOLF results Castlemaine Inspired by the prospect of a British Open win by Cameron Smith, Castlemaine low-marker Matt O’Brien produced a near flawless round in the club’s par event on Saturday. O’Brien (2 handicap) finished plus 2 to be the overall and A-grade winner. Peter Verlaan finished square to be Agrade runner-up. The in-form Tony Olsson continued his good form to finish +2 in B-grade, one shot clear of Jen Dyer (22). Smith’s British Open A sensational last round 64 in the final round gave Cameron Smith a one-shot victory in the 150th British Open at St Andrews in Scotland. Smith, a 28-year-old from Queensland, produced a peerless putting display and finished 20 under par for the 72 holes, to be the first Australian winner of the Open since Greg Norman. Many district golf fans sat up into the early hours of yesterday morning to watch the live coverage as an unflappable Smith carved out eight birdies in his final round to join many of the true legends of golf by capturing the prestigious British Open. Former Bendigo star Lucas Herbert shot a final round 67 to finish in equal 15th place on 10 under par.

Down to the 18 The final of Kyneton’s annual C.C. Fisher Doubles Knockout was a battle royale on Saturday, with ultimate winners Jason

Romsey Relentless winds gusting to over 60kph played havoc with Romsey golfers trying to excel in the stableford event on Saturday. Anywhere near handicap was an excellent tally, with the top three placegetters Pat Chisholm (11) 34 points, Mitchell Atlas (7) 32, and Mick Squire (5) 30. Bob McLennan and Andrew Clement were NTPs. It was even worse last Wednesday, with bitter winds, downpours, and even some hailstones as a hardy group battled the elements. Darlene Baker won the silver spoon play-off, and the day’s stroke comp. results were Rob Slade 92-15-77, from Baker 98-17-82 and Kath Jekabsons 12238-84.

The day’s best score came from Agrader Robin Wilson (2) who finished +3, one ahead of Nathaniel Slater (12). Peter Speakman (19) took out B-grade with +2 on a countback from Michael Archer (15), and GenY visitor Michael Subram (22) topped C-grade. The final round of the mixed championship takes place this Saturday. Entries for Trentham’s Annual Open Tournament (October 17–23) are now invited, included is the Golf Australia Trentham Senior Open on October 17–18.

The overall winner was Grant Davies (10 handicap) from Warren Else (4). There were several impressive scores in last Tuesday’s stableford, with David Woodman (25) and Dennis Barker (15) carding 41 points, the former winning on a countback.

Redbacks win epic battle Bill West

After an epic battle at Tony Clarke Reserve on Saturday, a gritty Romsey held on against a Macedon side kicking with the wind to virtually wrap up a finals berth. “Unbelievable … everyone played their part,” proud Redbacks’ coach Paul Kennedy proclaimed. “You showed a hell of a lot of character,” Kennedy told his players, reminding them of the need to attend training regularly and build on the opportunity to go deep into the finals. Still depleted through injuries, the Redbacks’ side included some Under 19s players. Aaron Paterson was playing his 100th game. Macedon was also below full strength and coach Al Meldrum must be wondering how the Cats failed to get over the line after their four-goal victory against Woodend-Hesket seven days earlier. It was a strange match, with the fourth and fifth sides battling to show their credentials and wrap up a finals spot. A speedy Romsey shocked the Cats by ramming home six goals to one in the first quarter, taking full advantage of the strong, blustery wind. Wingers Dean Walsh and Callum Sankey were prominent. Macedon could not replicate the first-term scoring and the Redbacks defended strongly, going into the long break with a 25-point advantage. “Show us something,” Meldrum appealed to his players at the break, and they responded with a great third quarter, as Romsey failed to kick a goal and the elusive Jason Cooke showed his individual skills to kick two for the Cats. “I want to see something here and now,” were Kennedy’s final

They came, they saw, they conquered – A courageous Romsey combination kicked six goals to one against Macedon in the first quarter on Saturday, then staved off a big second half comeback by the Cats to wrap up a finals berth. Photo: Bill West word to his players entering the last term. The Cats failed to score an early goal, and Romsey’s spirits lifted as the clock ticked down as desperation play continued. A 50-metre penalty resulted in a goal for the Cats, and suddenly it was a point the difference, with a draw or a Macedon victory favoured by many. It was not to be, as up stepped Romsey’s captain Nathan Blair, prominent all match. He marked on an acute angle and drilled a superb goal against the odds. A deserving, courageous victory to the Redbacks, who are at home to Diggers Rest this Saturday, while Macedon go to Riddell looking to make amends. Romsey 6.4, 7.5, 7.8, 8.9 (57) d Macedon 1.1, 3.4, 5.5, 7.8 (50). Goals (R) – N. Blair 2,W. Di Petro, L. Newnham, C. Pertzel, D. Walsh, M. Caddy, A. Pater-

Stoeckel WOODSMEN OVERRUN Ladder-leader Diggers Rest slammed on 7.4 to nil with the wind in the first term to take a stranglehold on their match against Woodend-Hesket. It was 14.10 to 5.3 at the final break, and the Woodsmen dominated the last quarter, to no avail. Diggers Rest 14.11 (95) d Woodend-Hesket 10.8 (68). Goals (WH) – J. Pound 4, J. Arceri 3, C. Johns 2, T. Pound. Best – M. Stapleton, Arceri, M. White, C. Templeton, N. Xavier De Leur, J. Riz. Lancefield kicked five last quarter goals to overhaul a West-

In the remaining match, Riddell made sure of holding on to second spot with a 9.4 (58) to 3.1 (19) victory over Melton Centrals. Goals (R) – L. Berry, J. Horton 2, T. Stead, A. Duhau, J. Grabham, M.

Draw in A grade netball an upset Down-the-ladder Lancefield A-grade netballers may have dented Western Rams’ finals hopes by securing a 37-37 draw on Saturday. The beneficiary is sixth-placed Riddell, strong 45-21 winners over Diggers Rest, and still optimistic about playing finals. Riddell has a much better percentage than the Rams, and despite the loss of Lauren No-

lan through injury for the rest of the season, is determined to make a bid for fifth spot. Diggers Rest 37 defeated Woodend-Hesket 30, and ladder-leader Macedon demolished Romsey 62-19.

Mixed fortunes for Magpies

Castlemaine Football Netball Club made the trek to Tannery Lane to take on top-four contenders Strathfieldsaye Storm last Saturday in round 13 of the Bendigo Football Netball League. The Magpie footballers found the going tough against strong opposition, but the Magpie netball sides tapped into some late season form with some great results. Unfortunately in the Seniors contest the home side got the jump on the young Magpie outfit early and they never recovered eventually going down by 141 points. Final scores were Strathfieldsaye 7.3, 13.7, 22.10, 26.12 (168) to Castlemaine 1.0, 1.0, 2.1, 4.3 (27). Goal kickers for Castlemaine were Liam Wilkinson, Jed Denahy, Ben Moran and Jackson Hood. Best for Castlemaine were Brodie Byrne, Tommy Horne, Michael Kiraly, Declan Slingo, Samuel Nettleton and Jack Chester. In the Reserves Strath dominated from start to finish

to post a strong win despite the Magpies best defensive efforts. Final scores were Strathfieldsaye 6.4, 11.7, 16.13, 24.17 (161) to Castlemaine 0.0, 0.1, 1.1, 1.2 (8). Goal kicker was Caleb Kuhle. Best were Wilson Staples, Kaine Fleeton, Caleb Kuhle, Austin Peace, Campbell McLennan and Luke Pritchard. In the Under 18s the Magpies took the match right up to Storm early and only seven points separated the sides at halftime. Unfortunately after the break Strath broke the shackles and found their running game kicking another nine goals to record a 64 point win. Final scores were Strathfieldsaye 1.4, 2.8, 4.10, 11.14 (80) to Castlemaine 1.1, 2.1, 2.4, 2.4 (16). Goal kickers were Kyan Martin and Callam De Bono. Best were Campbell McLennan, Ethan Hein, Matthew Schembri, Austin Peace, Ashton Frankling and Curtis McLennan.

MAGPIE WOMEN SOAR On Sunday the Magpie Women also made the trek to Tannery Lane and turned the tables on the Magpies' fortunes recording a blistering 110-point win over the Strathfieldsaye Storm Women. Goal kickers for the Magpies were Meg Ginnivan, Shelby Knoll 4, Bridie Semmens 3, Aisling Tupper 2, Emily Cooper, Eloise Gretgrix and Lily McMahon. Best for the Magpies were Aisling Tupper, Tia Davidge, Michelle Barkla, Meg Ginnivan, Jessica Ross and Lily McMahon.

Netball scores

Kyneton A-grade netballers gave fourthplaced South Bendigo plenty of opposition in a high-scoring match on Saturday. The Kyneton players worked hard against physical defensive pressure, with the Bloods eventually prevailing 50-44.

Kangaroo Flat moved into top spot on percentage by eclipsing Sandhurst 66-49, and Castlemaine consolidated fifth spot with a 59-56 margin against Strathfieldsaye.

Big wins for Saints

Trentham had two big football wins at Avoca on Saturday, continuing the form that sees them on top of the MCFNL ladder. The seniors kicked 10 goals to one in the first term, and Avoca responded and made it slightly oopening quarter. Avoca were then able to tighten things up and made it less easy to score. Now attention swings to the top-of-the-table clash at Trentham this Saturday against an in-form Natte Bealiba. Trentham 24.23 (167) d Avoca 5.5 (35). Goals – J. Keogh 8, A. Ferrier 4, J Cowan 3, R. Bourke, C. Webber-Mirkin, L. Whitehouse 2, L. Bianco, J. Dowling. Best – Cowan, J. Mighell, D. Holden, Keogh, Bourke, Z. Gervasoni. In the Reserves, the Saints came away with another percentage-boosting win, but once again some inaccurate kicking cost them an even bigger winning margin. Goals – J. Murphy 6, D. Reid 4, J. Gray 3, R. Tobin, M. Matricardi 2, T. Ciardullo, B. Cole, S. Evans, C. Whelan. Best – J. Beecham, Gray, O. Thek, J. Sammut, Tobin, G. Wales.

Rain, hail and thunder

The Kyneton women’s football team braved rain, hail and thunder to score a runaway victory over North Bendigo on Sunday. It was the final match in the Transport Accident Commission round, which promoted road safety. The wearing of blue armbands at weekend matches helped get the message across, in the hope of reducing the future road toll. Kyneton dominated Sunday’s encounter at North Bendigo, and apart from offtarget kicking for goal, had plenty of in-form players. The Tigers scored 8.19 (67) to a solitary goal for the home side. Goals were shared around, with Heidi Erasmus 2, and Maddy Stott, Ursi Van Dyk, Natalie Koringfsky, Neve Brissenden, Taylah Moore and Jordie Savioa all singles. Tigers’ special awards went to Nikita Jamson, Jacinta Cochrane, Teagan Ainslie, Korifsky, Van Dyk and Erasmus. A special thank you was conveyed to volunteers Wes, Luke, Eloise and Tyler.

Pictured enjoying Sunday’s outing are Tigers Alex Strawhorn (at left) and Ursi Van Dyk.

Grasshoppers nab fourth

The fourth-placed Harcourt Lions played host to an improving Navarre Grasshoppers at the den last Saturday in round 11 action for the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League. The Lions went into the match off a solid win over Talbot in round 10, while Navarre too were full of confidence after a percentage-boosting win over Maryborough Rovers. The home side started strongly booting five goals to two to hold a 14-point advantage at quarter-time. The second stanza was a much more event affair with both sides breaking through to kick three goals apiece and at half-time 15 points separated the sides. The Grasshoppers obviously received a rev up at the long break as they came out with a renewed determination in the third term and slammed on another four goals, while holding the Lions to just one for the quarter. At three-quarter-time the momentum had shifted and the Grasshoppers had secured a four-point lead. The last quarter was a showstopper with the crowd treated to a real thriller but in the end the visitors managed to make the most of their opportunities in front of goal and got across the line by 13 points. The win saw the Grasshoppers nab fourth spot on percentage, with the Lions now sitting in fifth. Final scores were Harcourt 5.4, 8.6, 9.8, 12.9 (81) to Navarre 3.2, 6.3, 10.6, 14.10 (94). Goal kickers for Harcourt were Same Gale, Jed Rodda 4, Klai Jermyn 2, Thomas Walters and Darby Semmens. Best for Harcourt were Kayne Davidson, Sam Gale, Brayden Frost, Jordan Gartside, Paul Chaplin and Klai Jermyn. Campbells Creek made the trek to Deledio Reserve to take on Dunolly. Dunolly hit the ground running with a 12-goal opening term to get the jump on the Magpies early. However, to their credit Creekers never bowed their heads and played one of their

Big game at Gisborne After winning by a massive 172 points against Maryborough on Saturday, Bendigo League football ladder-leader Gisborne now face up to Strathfieldsaye at Gardiner Reserve in the match of the round. On May 7 the Bulldogs beat the Storm by six points, and these two sides are favoured to meet in the 2022 grand final. Strathfieldsaye outclassed Castlemaine 26.12 to 4.3 in the build-up to the Gardiner Reserve clash.2 A good victory on Saturday would enhance Gisborne’s flag prospects, while the visitors will be out to fully test the home side. Against bottom side Maryborough, Gisborne monopolised the ball and restricted the opposition to just three scoring shots for the entire match. The Bulldogs included several of their top players, and the visitors battled to clear the ball from their defence. On-baller Flynn Lakey notched up numerous possessions and the ‘Dogs kicked six majors in each of the first three quarters, and finished off with eight to wrap up proceedings. Gisborne 26.24 (180) d Maryborough 1.2 (8). Goals – P. McKenna, S. Walsh 5, H. Thomas 4, M. Merrett, E, Minns 3, T. Fraser, L. Ellings 2, D. Davie, L. Spear. Best – F. Lakey, B. Blake, Fraser, N. Doolan, Walsh, Minns. Maryborough forfeited to Gisborne in the Reserves, and in the Under 18s, Gisborne 12.12 defeated Maryborough 3.5.

Gisborne ran riot over Maryborough at the Bulldogs’ Gardiner Reserve fortress on Saturday.

Kyneton land in hot seat Kyneton senior footballers paid the penalty for a sluggish first quarter against South Bendigo on Saturday, slumping to their third successive defeat. Desperate to play finals, the Tigers now have the ball in their own court with five rounds remaining before the finals. Coach Paul Chapman was understandably less than impressed with the 19-point loss against South Bendigo in blustery conditions at Queen Elizabeth Oval. Earlier in the season the Tigers lost to the Bloods by three points, before winning six matches in succession to move into fourth place behind powerhouse sides Gisborne, Strathfieldsaye and Golden Square. Chapman pointed out the Tigers had only produced one quarter “of Kynetonstyle football” (the last term) on Saturday. The rot began early when the confident Bloods slammed on five goals to one in the first term, then kept the Tigers to a miserable three points in the vital third quarter. Four goals in three quarters by the Tigers left the Bloods with a 34-point advantage – sufficient to defend despite the visitors making inroads in the last quarter. The challenge is there, beginning this Saturday when Kangaroo Flat come to the Showgrounds, for the Tigers to be competitive for an entire game. Unfortunately Eaglehawk scored an upset win over third-placed Golden Square to draw level with the Tigers on points. The round 16 Kyneton versus Eagle-

hawk match on August 6 may well be the decider on which team finishes up in the final five, and which misses out. It was great to see Sam Pyers and Cody Young make their senior debut and perform very well for the Tigers – a great sign for the club’s future. Match details: South Bendigo 5.1, 7.2, 10.5, 11.8 (74) d Kyneton 1.2, 4.4, 4.7, 7.13 (55). Goals (K): R. Pretty 3, R. Magin 2, G. Dickson, L. Phillips. Best – H. Huntley, Phillips, M. Crozier, L. Thompson, S. Georgiou, Pretty. UNDER 18s SHINE Kyneton’s undermanned Under 18s side gained their third win for the season, defeating South Bendigo 6.12 (48) to 3.4 (22). This was a tremendous effort by the young Tigers who have improved so much during the season. Best in a real team effort were Sam Smallman, Brady Muir, Lachlan Thompson, Charlie May, Frankie Ellis and Oliver Plunkett. Kyneton Reserves went down 6.7 to 5.7, being beaten on the last kick of the match with several fill-in players due to injuries and illness. It was a shame Jesse Grae’s players fell short after a tremendous battle. Lachlan Thompson (in his second game for the afternoon) Jack Hassett, Lachlan Read, Matthew Hanna, Archie Neylon and Jacob Plowman were among the better players for the Tigers.

Sam Pyers (centre) debuted for the Kyneton seniors on Saturday. He is pictured with coach Paul Chapman and Helen Pyers.
