Pub push reignited A push to re-open Romsey’s only pub has been renewed with a petition attracting nearly 2500 signatures since it launched last week. Among those eager to see life returned to Romsey's former pub are Andrew and John Scanlon whose family owned the pub from 1897 to 1936. They are pictured with Liz Dormontt. Story page 3.

LANES PLAN DIVIDES sponse to community concerns about safety on the road and a disturbing crash history, with six fatalities and 36 serious-injury crashes between 2001 and 2020. Melanie Hotton, director Loddon Mallee for the Department of Transport, said extensive consultation was conducted with the Macedon Ranges community including local emergency services. “We’re continuing to engage with the community on intersection upgrades and the location of pedestrian and cycling improvements on Black Forest Drive to ensure any changes meet local needs,” Ms Hotton said. One Woodend resident, who is both a cyclist and a motorist, said the upgrade should enhance the safety of all road users,

Opinion is divided among Woodend and Macedon residents over a Regional Roads Victoria plan to reconfigure Black Forest Drive from four lanes to two. The $6 million project for 11.7 kilometres of works on the road linking the two towns will see the current four-lane configuration reduced to two lanes plus a three-metrewide painted centre median and on-road cycle lanes. Protected pedestrian refuges and lighting will also be installed and intersections upgraded to cater for safer turning to and from Black Forest Drive. RRV said the improvements were in re-

cyclists, pedestrians and children getting on and off school buses each morning and afternoon. "It's safer crossing two lanes than four," he said. "A lot of people are thinking this project is for cyclists and tourists but it's not. "The slip lanes and bike lanes will enable people to get on and off Black Forest Drive more easily and safely." But Macedon resident Ian Northcott said he believed the road would be less safe with two lanes instead of four. "The cyclists will have much less room to ride on a single path and I just think it's incredible that they're taking a four-lane road that's quite safe back to a two-lane

road," he said. What has most surprised community members is that a proposal like this one had been tried before and reversed. Cycle lanes were installed along the road in 2010 by a Labor state government but the road was returned to four lanes the following year by the new Liberal state government in response to objections by the local community over general access and emergency route needs. Woodend resident Russell Servis also questioned the latest plan, suggesting Black Forest Drive had already been safely upgraded with wire rope barriers and a reduced speed limit of 80km/h.

Whether you're into bushwalking or more of a moocher when it comes to taking a hike, you may find the Friends of the Box Ironbark Forests' brand new book worth trekking out to secure. Just days after its release, Twenty Bushwalks in the Mount Alexander Region is being eagerly snapped up by bushwalking devotees much to the delight of the many Friends members who contributed to its creation. Among them, Castlemaine's Bronwyn Silver and Bernard Slattery say the new book features a mix of favourite local walks and some tracks that are far less travelled. "Some are well known and some are pretty obscure," Bernard says. Bronwyn says walks range from quick enjoyable strolls to much more rigorous day walks. "There's a variety of grades and they range from short walks that might best be described as a mere mooch, through to walks covering at least 10 kilometres," Bronwyn says. "And there's a detailed map for every walk." The walks are based on the regular walks that have been run by the Friends of the Box Ironbark Forests for the past 20 years with the book itself dedicated to the memory of Doug Ralph, founding president of the group and initiator of its walks program. Bernard and Bronwyn each played vital roles in the book's production but say many Friends members have made vital contributions. "Nearly 20 people have been involved in the book from taking photos to selecting and testing the walks," Bronwyn says. "And it's been two years in the making." The book features maps accompanying each of the featured walks, along with walk descriptions and photographs highlighting some of the flora, birdlife, geographical and cultural features likely to be encountered. "It's not just for bushwalkers though," Friends member Barb Guerin notes. "The idea is to get everyone to explore." The 20 self-guided walks offer stronger insights into the layers of meaning in the famed local goldfields landscapes, inviting the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the area's story of destruction and revival. The book is available at selected local outlets and also directly from the Friends group via their website.

I have had a lot of people approach me about the site.” Now other ideas have emerged for the site, including potential for fast food outlets, boutique market, accommodation, town houses and office spaces, or a supermarket. Mr Hogan said he was willing to talk with the council about preferred options for the site and he encouraged engagement with the community. “I’m just the owner of the site. I am happy to hear from the community about what they want,” he said. Macedon Ranges Shire Council met with the site's owner Jim Hogan to discuss plans for the site earlier this year. Director Planning and Environment, Angela Hughes said the decision to re-open the site was the owner's. "The council can advocate to the owner to re-open the site as a pub or another activity (in compliance with the Planning Scheme), however, we cannot force the owner to do this. Ultimately, it is up to the landowner if he wants to re-open the site," she said. Resident Liz Dormontt said it was tragic to see the pub boarded up and unutilised. “I don’t drink or gamble but I would really love to see a good family pub in the town. If that means the pokies come to town: big deal! The bulk of us just want a good communal meeting place," she said. The petition is available online at change.org

Macedon Ranges Crime Investigation Unit detectives and police have recovered $30,000 of stolen goods in Riddells Creek. Police arrested a 39-year-old Riddells Creek man after executing a search warrant at his Amess Road property last Tuesday. Among the stolen goods were motorcycles and 4WD buggies that were linked to a burglary in Rushworth about one year ago. The man has been charged and bailed to appear at Kyneton Magistrates Court in January. Macedon Ranges police encouraged people in the community to continue notifying Crime Stoppers and police of suspicious activity in the area.

A push to re-open Romsey’s only pub has been renewed with a petition attracting nearly 2500 signatures since it launched last week. The pub has sat dormant and boarded up for four years, and local residents say it is time for it to be restored and reopened or sold on. Lead petitioner Sandra Chestnut told the Express residents were eager to see new life injected into the prominent High Street site. "In a country town the pub is a real social hub. Like Gisborne, Romsey is growing – we're not getting any smaller," she said. "We want to open the lines of communication. We want it reopened. We want a pub." The town's only pub has a 150-year history but its last tenant shut the doors due to financial difficulties. In 2009, owner Jim Hogan lost a prolonged battle for poker machines to be allowed in the hotel. Macedon Ranges Shire Council and a strong community lobby group opposed pokies coming to the town. The fight went to the Supreme Court and the result effectively ended plans to expand and modernise the hotel on the site. Last week Mr Hogan told the Express the pandemic had slowed any progress on the Romsey site as he focused on his establishments in Wallan and Bendigo. “Since the pandemic I haven’t turned my mind to Romsey as I have been dealing with issues around COVID,” he said. Mr Hogan estimated it could be six to 12 months before he makes a decision on the Romsey site. In 2018, the council received a planning application to use the site for a camping and caravan park. It included a swimming pool and sought partial demolition of the existing building. The application was withdrawn by the applicant without it being decided. Since then, Mr Hogan said he has been approached by multiple parties with different interests in the site. He said there was potential for the site to become a pub once more but the building required significant work. “I did try pretty hard to develop it for years. I had a plan to redevelop the site. In Wallan I have a motel and hotel that employs 120 people. It’s what Romsey could have had and it’s unfortunate that the council did not want that to go ahead,” he said. “Modern hotels need to be multi-faceted. For several years I did try to modernise the pub but to no avail. I do not want to fight councils. They either want a hotel or they don’t.” “What happens with the site now is a question that sits with the

Farmers object to retreat lips said the application did not support farming and should be rejected in full. “It's a farming area and we believe this proposal is effectively a function centre that will significantly affect ours and our neighbours' amenity and environment here,” he said. “We feel that the meditation, or function centre, will increase the traffic and the attendance of guests will negatively affect our stock. “This is not the right place for a function centre.

Queers on the Catwalk celebrates rural and regional pride with a focus on queer identity expression through clothing and style. In the lead up to the event in November, LGBTIQA+ community members are invited to a workshop hosted by Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s WayOut and CLIP teams alongside TGD Clothing Swap and The Story Costumer. Participants can create their own outfit, costume or entire catwalk collection, be coached to find their catwalk groove, and steel their confidence to walk the runway. Participants will have access to a wide variety of free items to try on, explore and discover what makes them feel affirmed and confident, or they can bring their own outfits. The Queers on the Catwalk experience, for those who are keen, will be captured on film and be made available to all catwalkers and crew after the wrap-up of the main event. The costume workshop will take place in Kyneton on Saturday October 23. To register your interest contact healthpromotion@scchc. org.au / 5421 1666.

Gutted car, stolen, linked to drive-offs Eve Lamb

Detectives are urging members of the public to come forward with information after a suspicious car fire gutted a vehicle believed to have been involved in a series of petrol drive-offs. Central Goldfields Crime Investigation Unit detectives believe the vehicle had been stolen in the days before it was destroyed by fire in last Thursday's early morning car blaze, which threatened overhead powerlines towards the western end of Lyttleton Street in Castlemaine's CBD. Local fire brigades from Castlemaine and Campbells Creek attended after they were called to the fully engulfed vehicle at 5.03am on Thursday morning, Castlemaine CFA captain Terry Franklin said. The intense blaze had caused the car's tyres to explode alerting local residents to the incident. "We were called at 5.03am and when we arrived the car was fully involved and the flames were probably six metres to eight metres high," Mr Franklin said. "There were reports of explosions, which were the tyres popping." Mr Franklin said a number of residents called in to report it. "The resident I spoke to said they were woken by the popping of the tyres," he said. "A local resident said it had been parked there overnight. "It took us about 10 to 15 minutes to fully extinguish.

Rubbish dumped Commercial rubbish was discovered dumped at Hobbs Road Reserve in Bullengarook last week. After a few phone calls to a real estate agent, a property developer, a landscape gardener then a rubbish removal contractor, the offending rubbish has been removed, the area rehabilitated and appropriate action taken against the misguided people involved.

"It was a diesel vehicle and it was completely burnt out. "We notified Powercor because it was under the powerlines." Detective Senior Constable Daniel Vear of the Central Goldfields CIU said the vehicle – a white 2010 Peugeot Station Wagon – was stolen from Castlemaine at some point between October 9-11. "The vehicle was involved in a series of petrol drive-offs from around the area,

Angela Crawford A Woodend resident has recruited local businesses to join a campaign promoting the sale of ethically produced products. Margaret Leahy is a member of ACRATH – Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans – an organisation committed to supporting and advocating for people in exploited and forced labour around the world. She is encouraging people to be more conscious of how the products they buy are made. "It's an attempt to get shoppers to think about the conditions under which the products they're buying are made," Margaret said. "It's quite difficult to have products certified slavery free. "Fairtrade International is one certification and Rainforest Alliance is another, but with clothing and other household products it's very difficult to trace the supply chain. "I have undertaken to work on this area with a number of Woodend traders by asking them to attempt to find at least one product in their range that is produced from a slavery free source and in a slavery free supply chain.

and keen to help raise awareness of the need to promote this issue." Seven businesses in Woodend have signed on to Margaret's campaign to attempt, where possible, to source slavery free products. One of those stores is Woodend General, which stocks as many locally made and Australian-made products as possible – including ceramics from Mud Australia, Adele Mercer, Kim Wallace and Red Fox Pottery – and a range of German kitchen products that are certified slavery free. "Whether or not they're made in Australia or overseas they're all slavery free and as much as possible we source Fairtrade and ethically made products," store owner Louise Pennell said. "We're all about encouraging people to buy once and buy well, and really consider their purchase." Other stores taking part in the campaign include Endangered, which stocks products by local producers and artisans, and Mort and Pestle, which has a number of lines of products made in humanitarian conditions, such as a range of African crockery.

Students strike again Eve Lamb

Castlemaine students have once again gone on 'strike' joining countless thousands of youngsters across the nation demanding genuine policy change to rapidly check the looming threat of runaway climate change. On Friday students from both local primary and secondary schools took to the steps of Castlemaine's central Market Building to hold placards, be seen, and make their concerns publicly known – again. "Subsidising the fossil fuel sector is subsidising the destruction of our future," one local student told the Express during Friday's action. Castlemaine Secondary College student, Callum Neilson Bridgfoot, said Friday's COVID-safe action particularly called for an end to Australia's current propping up the fossil fuel sector to the tune of billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies each year. "Right now we have a huge opportunity to invest in clean energy and bring justice to those affected heavily by climate change," Callum said. "The clean energy solutions will create thousands of jobs and help us to tackle climate change. “Instead our federal government is talking about using taxpayers’ money to fund the dirty, polluting gas industry and doing

nothing about the communities that climate change is affecting. "Gas is a fossil fuel that’s driving climate change and hurting people and our climate. By backing the gas industry, the government is putting my future at risk.” Castlemaine student Niamh O'Connor Smith said now was a particularly critical time in the climate justice movement. "We're leading up to a federal election," she said also naming the upcoming COP 26 UN climate talks in Glasgow as a last ditch chance for world leaders to help the planet switch course before the futures of young people are fried. "I'd like our government to have no new oil, coal or gas mines, including Adani, commit to net zero by 2030, and fund a just transition for all fossil fuel workers," said Castlemaine Primary School student, Arlo, attending Friday's local school strike as similar actions simultaneously took place nationwide. "I'm very worried for my future because right now the government isn't doing anything." Castlemaine TAFE student Luka, 20, said he had been participating in School Strikes For Climate since the first in 2018, in Melbourne. "I want the government to make some actual changes to keep the environment safe

A COVID-safe School Strike: Castlemaine students took to the steps of the town’s Market Building on Friday as part of a global day of school strike action urging governments to take swift action to check the looming threat of runaway climate change. Photo: Eve Lamb and the climate safe," Luka said. The students' calls particularly include demands to end spending public funds on gas and other fossil fuel projects, and to instead deliver strong support for projects transitioning the nation's economy to 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030. They also called for First Nations solutions to protect Country with First Nations

communities also notably participating in Friday's national school strike action. In Castlemaine, the students' deeply held fears were reiterated also on Sunday when local church leaders and faithful, including Uniting, Anglican and Catholic denominations, actively took to the streets to march as part of a worldwide multi faith climate justice movement – as their bells rang out.

Dangerous trail shut

The Domino Trail between Trentham and Lyonville is still closed as a result of devastating storm damage on June 9. The trail has been heavily impacted by fallen and hanging trees, and is dangerous for people utilising it. With wet conditions, accessing the trail to clear trees is proving difficult. Hepburn Shire Council staff are monitoring the situation and hope to begin clearance works in the coming months.

LANES PLAN DIVIDES

From page 1. "They're turning over half the road to recreation, but a Melbourne-centric think tank has decided on this," Mr Servis said. "We have very high bushfire risk through here and to reduce the road to one lane in either direction means that you have greatly reduced access for fire trucks to overtake in smoke while people are trying to escape." Ms Hotton said the width of Black Forest Drive would not change as a result of the project. "In an emergency situation on Black Forest Drive, drivers and emergency vehicles can use cycle lanes or the painted medians to get around hazards if safe to do so," she said. "We are aware of the high fire danger in the area and are working closely with emergency services to ensure the safety improvements meet their needs and that of the community in an emergency situation." The project is expected to begin in early 2022 and be completed by late 2023, weather permitting. Feedback closes at 5pm on October 21. Head to engage.vic.gov.au/blackWoodend resident Russell Servis has questioned the latest plan to reconfigure Black forest-drive-safety-improvements Forest Drive (formerly the old Calder Highway) from four lanes to two.

Emergency impact

Woodend Fire Brigade captain Mike Dornau said neither the Woodend nor the Macedon brigades had been consulted on the planned changes to Black Forest Drive. "We have similar concerns about this project going ahead," Mr Dornau said. "Cutting it to one lane has significant impact as an emergency service because we're very busy along that road and if you look at the road itself it is a highly dangerous road in terms of fire risk and also traffic during an emergency. "On Black Saturday we were tasked to the road between Kinglake and Whittlesea and it reminded me significantly of Black Forest Drive when we got there. That being a four-lane winding road through heavily dense bush. "The look and the layout of it was very similar to Black Forest Drive and what happened

on the night of Black Saturday was an absolute tragedy on that road. "There were trees down everywhere and multiple vehicles trapped and that was a four lane-road." Mr Dornau said the main concern brigades had was other traffic on the road, especially if it was reduced to a single lane. "In an emergency, people panic, and more so if there's a big red truck with lights and sirens right behind them," he said. "If it's reduced to a single lane, it will definitely slow us down and the consequences could be significant. "The other thing that we're concerned about is what kind of barriers they're going to be putting in. That has an impact as well as to how we access the roadsides."

Fourth church for Brethren

Parking, noise and operating hours have been debated in the Kyneton Plymouth Brethren Christian Church’s proposal for a fourth place of worship in town. A church is planned for 148 High Street for up to 160 people to gather monthly and other weekly services to host about 120 people. The plan reveals just 35 parking spaces will be provided on site but neighbours fear it will force parking across naturestrips and create traffic problems. The proposal seeks a reduction of 13 spaces in car park requirements. Neighbour Peter Atkinson said his jaw hit the floor when he realised the scale of services proposed in what he deemed “a deeply irresponsible proposal”. “The scale of the services they’re proposing seems to me wildly excessive for a quiet residential street,” he ad-

dressed Macedon Ranges Shire Council last week. “Any talk in the application that they often won’t have that many people at different times, seems to me like a Trojan horse.” Services are planned for as early as 5.30am on Sundays which Mr Atkinson said was “completely inappropriate for a residential neighbourhood”. “160 people at 5.30 on a Sunday morning cannot possibly be silent,” he told councillors. Mr Atkinson’s submission was one of three objections to the proposal. Others highlighted loss of privacy, visual impact and road safety. Representing the church, Gavin Morley said the church had worked with council officers to improve design since May 2020. He said substantial changes had been made from the

original application including positioning on the land and changing the modern design to a more traditional residential look. Mr Morley said gatherings would only be at full capacity a small number of times a year and would occur on Sunday or Friday afternoons / evenings. He said gatherings at 5.30am would include about seven to 10 families and many people who lived nearby walked to the services. “Very typically there would be no need for on-street parking,” he said. The church has been operating in Kyneton since before 1955 and has three other churches in residential areas around the town. The main hall is located in Ebden Street and is typically used for large gatherings. The council is expected to make a decision on the application in November.

Kerrie blaze

The heritage-protected Old Kerrie School was destroyed by fire on Saturday morning. Hesket-Kerrie brigade had firefighters on scene within five minutes of receiving the emergency page at 6.48am, supported by Bolinda-Monegeetta and Riddells Creek brigades, to find the school house fully alight. Further escalation occurred with Romsey, Mount Macedon, Macedon and Gisborne brigades attending, with up to 10 appliances on scene. The school house was totally destroyed but other adjoining structures were saved, including the rotunda. At least four teams of firefighters worked hard in breathing apparatus to contain the fire to the school building. The loss of this heritage structure is a blow to the local community. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

RM Begg Aged Care Kyneton CEO Meredith Grant will step down from her role next month. Board chair Phillip Irvine said Ms Grant's contribution to the home since she joined in 2007 had been significant, and she had been especially pivotal in ensuring services and care of the highest standard during that time. "Meredith’s resignation is a great loss to the organisation, but the board respects and supports her decision to devote more time to her own family after having given so much to RM Begg," Mr Irvine said. "The Board is sure that the extended RM Begg community will join in thanking Meredith very much for her care and dedication, and in wishing her the very best for the future." Ms Grant has led the organisation through difficult times, including the public disclosure last year of RM Begg’s serious financial challenges. Mr Irvine said that while the community responded with some truly wonderful fundraising endeavours, the long-term financial viability of the organisation remained extremely uncertain.

Felix x stars in Fires

(Left) Felix Deadman with director Kim Mordaunt. (Right) A still from new ABC TV series, Fires.

A seven-year-old Kyneton boy has made his acting debut in an episode of new ABC television series Fires. Felix Deadman stars alongside Sam Worthington and Eliza Scanlen in episode four of the six-part series, which takes us back to the traumatic summer of 2019-20 as bushfires raged across the country. Felix has always wanted to be an actor and takes lessons with Paul Canlan's Storyboard Drama and dances with his mother Rachelle Kellett's Steps Performing Arts dance school in the Macedon Ranges. "From a very young age he started memorising TV shows and reciting poems, dialogue and actions from TV shows and films," Rachelle said.

"And because I run a dance school he's always been around theatres and shows." Rachelle said director Kim Mordaunt wanted to authentically cast a child with autism for the role of Ethan. “Kim was very impressed with all of Felix’s performances, and told us so after shooting each scene. After the car scene, he said 'I can't believe how good he is at storytelling'," Rachelle said. "We were on set for two weeks at Arthurs Creek and they were so inclusive of all of us. "Jayson (Felix's father) and I spent our time with the director and crew and they were so welcoming, it was a really positive experience for all of us." Felix told the Express that acting was his favourite thing to do. "I loved working with Kim and my TV family out on

Vaughan creative Felix Wilson’s latest exhibition ‘Electrical Ecologies’ is now on at CAM.

Electrical ecologies A fascinating new exhibition, Electrical Ecologies, was quietly unveiled at Castlemaine Art Museum's Sinclair Gallery last Thursday. Vaughan-based photographer Felix Wilson’s work is concerned with visualising connections across ecologies in this moment of global environmental crisis. The launch was timely, coinciding with School Strike for Climate action on Friday and Faiths For Climate Justice event on Sunday. The work in Electrical Ecologies was developed during a residency at Bogong Centre for Sound Culture in late 2019 and is an extension of Wilson's PhD work, which focused on brown coal from the big pits to its use in the big city. At Bogong in the Victorian Alpine region, Wilson said the sites of hydro power production sending electrical energy primarily into the metropolis coexisted with thickly forested mountain ranges. "The exhibition explores the energy of the river and the place and the impact of the plant on the environment," he said. "At first glance it could be perceived as ugly in contrast to the beauty that surrounds it, but on closer examination it appears to fit in, intertwined within the environment."

Making photographs outside at night, and underground in the dimly lit cavernous spaces of the hydro power stations, this work continues Wilson’s sustained attention on the shadow places of our illuminated cities, in their complexity and strangeness. Situated on small shelf-brackets made from stone rubble left by tunnelling works at West Kiewa Power Station, the prints form an array entangling the work of engineers, tunnelling and shaping stone for energy production, with the forms of plants and waterflows. "The hardness of the stone plinths connect to the physicality of the site in contrast with the delicacy of the prints," he said. The installation invites viewers into a conversation about energy and ecology, the big steps Australia needs to take to address climate change and the small things we can all do to make a difference. The artist said that he was grateful to Bogong Centre for Sound Culture for the two-week residency opportunity and to AGL for granting him access to explore the inner workings of the West Kiewa Power Station. The exhibition runs through until December 5. CAM is currently open ThursSun from 12pm-4pm.

The Lawns at Kyneton will feature in an upcoming episode of ABC TV’s Restoration Australia. A historic Kyneton home will feature in an upcoming episode of ABC TV's Restoration Australia. Host Anthony Burke met the couple who have purchased the magnificent property, The Lawns c1890s, in Wedge Street. Fed up with city life, the Boyers bought the delightful four-bed Victorian manor house ready for some changes. Fifth generation Kyneton native Shannon and his wife Liza fell in love with the stately home and paid $1.6 million for the heritagelisted property set on almost 3000 square metres of land. The project is a masterclass in authentic restoration, using highly skilled heritage tradespeople with a collective goal to resurrect this significant historic building. Also to feature in the episode is an interview with Kyneton His-

torical Society secretary Larina Strauch. Producer Mark Hanlin said The Lawns was a premium example of Victorian weatherboard architecture. "We also look at the history of the area and how the house fits into the landscape of modern Kyneton," Hanlin said. "Most of the show is about following the restoration, but we always like to include historical perspective and interesting facts, especially about how the house came about, why it was built, and why it's important to keep and restore. "It's a great episode and I think people will love to see it. "It was a very pretty town to photograph, I really enjoyed shooting around Kyneton, it's just beautiful." Shannon and Liza Boyer fell in love The episode will be aired on October 31 at 7.40pm on the ABC. with the stately home.

The other main requirements are that RRPs must make sure a property meets minimum standards on or before the day a renter moves in. If the property does not meet the prescribed standards, renters can end their lease before moving in or request an urgent repair. RRPs must also disclose if there have been issues in the past, such as mould or dampness, structural issues, or intention of selling. Coad is a boutique independent agency and are completely across all new legislation. We can help you with any tenancy related matter.

Q: What is a Total and Permanent

Disability (TPD) claim?

If you have sustained a permanent injury or illness that prevents you from working in some capacity, you may have a TPD claim via your superannuation insurance. A TPD lump sum payment can provide a financial safety net to help you fund medical expenses and treatment. Additionally, some policies allow you to make a claim for lost income as a result of your incapacity to work. Telephone Laura Paterson at Grainger Legal on (03) 5407 0161 or email info@graingerlegal.com.au to book your appointment and investigate your entitlements.

Young people usually think they do not have much to leave. However, they often have superannuation benefits which almost always include significant life insurance, equity in their home, digital assets (eg. online banking accounts, social media accounts), animals, motor vehicles, personal possessions. If there is no Will it is often difficult to deal even with assets of insignificant value as there is not an executor and the next of kin has to apply to the Supreme Court to be appointed administrator of their estate. If there is no Will the Intestacy Rules will apply, dictating how the estate will be divided and to whom. This may mean that your assets go to someone who you did not want to get them. Having a Will can make it easier for your family by having an executor and guardian of your minor children appointed.

We recommend that you get a wheel alignment completed if you have noticed that there is uneven wear on the tyres, the steering wheel is not straight, also, if you notice that your car pulls to one side while driving. Apart from reducing tyre wear the correct alignment can also improve your fuel economy and reduce vehicle wear and tear.

How do I know if I need to get my skin checked by a GP? It’s a good idea to become familiar with your skin through regular self-checks. You may need to ask a partner to check areas of skin you cannot easily see, such as your back. When checking your skin look out for the following: • Any spot, mole or freckle that has changed in shape, size or colour • A new spot that is different from other spots around it • Any small, dome-shaped lump that wasn’t there before • A sore that doesn’t heal or appears to ulcerate, or a sore that heals and then breaks down again If you notice any of these signs phone us to make an appointment.

Sleep yoga – deeply relaxing the yogis say that an hour of Yoga Nidra is the equivalent of three hours' sleep! Here's what some participants have to say... "I have found Yoga Nidra with Neriman to be hugely restorative. It’s so rare that we give ourselves the time to stop and focus on our bodies and minds. Yoga Nidra gives back 10-fold! – Jacquie "You sink deeper and deeper into a profound relaxation, and then before you know it you’re rising back to normal life, but you know you’ve been somewhere magical." – Charles "Neriman’s Yoga Nidra classes are a space in which I can deeply rest and relax. I step outside the rest of my life for an hour or so and immerse myself in self-care, free from daily pressures." – Simon "Neriman’s Yoga Nidra classes are wonderfully restorative and deeply relaxing. They bring about a profound sense of calm and peace. I always sleep more deeply afterwards!" – Lyndell Neriman has a new half-term of Yoga Nidra classes happening on Thursday afternoons, 1.45-2.45pm, beginning November 4, as well as individual classes on Sunday November 14 and December 5, 3-4.15pm, at Over The Moon Studio, Castlemaine.

"Over and over, people tell me that being with horses makes them feel calm," says principal of Black Horse Therapies, Elizabeth Hannah, whose practice is providing assistance to adults and children experiencing stress and anxiety associated with this difficult COVID time. "One of the reasons that people of all ages come to Black Horse Therapies is that they don’t feel comfortable in an office-based counselling setting (sitting and talking). At BHT the session focuses on the time spent in the horse yard interacting with a horse. The emphasis is on non-verbal communication and reading the horse’s signals. They don’t have language but are excellent communicators," Elizabeth says. People report back to Elizabeth that the sessions with the horses leave them feeling calmer and more relaxed, that they are able to forget about their daily lives and simply be present “in the moment”. "When we have close contact with horses and pay attention to them they help us to do this," Elizabeth says. "In a relaxed state we are able to enjoy ourselves as we interact with these intelligent and often playful animals. A 15-year-old participant recently told me: 'Horses are fun!' "BHT sessions are conducted in a beautiful natural setting, which people find relaxes and restores them," she says. Elizabeth has practised acupuncture and Chinese medicine for 30 years and has treated many people for stress and anxiety using this method. She now includes Equine Assisted Therapy in her practice. To do this she studied for a Graduate Diploma in Counselling. Psychotherapy and trained in Natural Horsemanship. Elizabeth is NDIS-registered.

Yoga Nidra, also known as sleep yoga, is a series of body, mind and breath techniques, practised lying down, that facilitates progressively deeper levels of relaxation, explains Neriman Kemal of Bliss Physics Yoga. "After beginning with very gentle yoga stretches, students are invited to set themselves up on their mats with blankets, props and eye pillows. A deep relaxation practice follows, comprising breath practises, body scans and visualisations, gradually unwinding the body and mind into a deeply restful state," Neriman says. Anyone can practise Yoga Nidra. Neriman explains that the benefits include: * Reduced stress * Restoration of the physical and mental body * Reduced anxiety and depression * Reduced insomnia * Increased capacity to break old habits and addictions through the use of intention * Increased focus * Increased sense of direction * Increased sense of deep peace, calm and balance Neriman has been teaching Yoga Nidra for more than five years in Castlemaine. "The pandemic has, and continues to, test our community in so many different ways," she says. "Practising Yoga Nidra can greatly support physical and mental wellbeing during this time. And

Healthy ageing for Baby Boomers Baby Boomers are the people born from 1946–1964 in the post-war 'baby boom'. While they are getting on in years now, it was they who invented the youth generation, the sexual revolution... the Baby Boomers rocked the world! And it hasn't been the same since, says Marianne Pattinson of Kyneton Hypno Therapies Back in the day, Baby Boomers thought people over the age of 30 were old! "Now, however, they are going through their 50s, 60s, and heavens forbid, even 70s! And they really thought they'd never be old!" Marianne says. But, most survived the 'drinks, the drugs, and the rock 'n roll', and here they are... The years rolled by... they had families, and now their kids are having families of their own. And, best of all, most Boomers don't even feel old! "The good news is, you don't have to fall to pieces with bad health, aching joints, hip and knee replacements, diabetes, cancers, heart disease, dementia, live in a nursing home and be utterly dependent on others. "Boomers actually do have some choice in the matter," Marianne says. "These choices would include being physically active with regular walking, or cycling, gym, zumba, yoga, pilates, feldencrais,

Storms and asthma

or whatever exercise you enjoy. This would be balanced by regular relaxation and renewal, with tai chi, massage, meditation. "Regular medical check ups would also be enhanced by use of natural therapies, therapies such naturopathy, Chinese medicine and others. And a healthy lifestyle includes maintaining a healthy weight, and being a non-smoker! "And for some this is easier said than done," Marianne says. "You may decide to do what you know is best for you, but, you just can't stop eating those unhealthy foods, and you never quite get around to exercising. Your logical conscious mind 'knows' what to do, or not do. But, you find you can't quite follow through. That's because your subconscious mind might be sabotaging your best intentions!" Marianne says this is where hypnotherapy can be very useful. "It enables you to replace unhelpful 'programs' hiding in the subconscious, with the logical choices of the conscious mind. Then, you find that you can more successfully do what you really want to do, which is to have a healthy lifestyle, maintain a healthy, more youthful body, and brain." Kyneton Hypno Therapies is offering several Specials for the Seniors Festival until end of October with a 20 per cent discount off all hypnosis treatments. Call 0437 001 065, and speak to a Baby Boomer to make an appointment.

With heavy rain and severe thunderstorms currently impacting eastern parts of the country, people with asthma and allergies are being urged not to forget that peak spring and thunderstorm asthma season has begun and lasts until the end of December. This year, the Bureau of Meteorology is predicting that much of Australia looks set to be hit with heavy spring rainfall, which can lead to above-average grass growth and critically, ryegrass pollen. National Asthma Council Australia director and respiratory physician, Professor Peter Wark, says people with hay fever and allergy to ryegrass pollen may be at risk of thunderstorm asthma – even if they have never had asthma symptoms before. “People with asthma who live in, or are travelling to, a region with seasonal high grass pollen levels, should remember to take their inhaled corticosteroid ‘preventer’ medicine as prescribed by their doctor. If they are using anti-inflammatory reliever therapy, they should take their inhaler as needed. These steps offer the best protection from worsening asthma.”

Finding life’s balance “Playing with our artistic side – whether it is in the garden, kitchen, etc. – helps to give a balance to ourselves, bring a calmness because we are giving to ourselves pleasure and enjoyment. When we are enjoying life we radiate happiness, which can flow onto those we interact with.” Bowen therapy, Carole says, helps the body to have a natural balance physically, mentally and emotionally. A bowen treatment is made of gentle moves performed over muscles, connective tissue, the fascia sending messages throughout the body to help restore the natural balance.

Dancing voices and singing bodies Charlotte Roberts is a Macedon Ranges based vocal artist, rhythm explorer, musician, composer and the originator/facilitator of The Musical Body Process. She explains that numerous studies within the fields of neuroscience, psychology and music therapy have shown that when we go into fight, flight, freeze and/or fawn mode we stop accessing our capacity to be responsive and creative. "And this happens more often than we may be aware of in our daily lives," Charlotte says. "We are born creative and the very fact that we are human beings means that our roots are to traditions (whether accessed recently or many generations ago) that involve connecting to ourselves, land and our community through rituals of listening and observing, along with structured-improvisational dancing, drumming and singing. We know this intuitively as children...so, what happened? And how do we return to that magical, wonder-filled space of bliss and creative respond-ability as adults?" Over the past 17 years Charlotte has been researching the following questions about how The Musical Body Process can * Be a tool for healthier relationships with self, others and country? * Cultivate artistry and musicality in life and creative practices? * Enable more creativity, attunement and

spontaneity? * Fortify and awaken our capacity to express ourselves responsively and creatively in the here and now of life? * Cultivate vitality and improve our interpersonal, group and inter-group relations? * Sustain flow, curiosity and wonder in structure, emergence, chaos and change? * And in our current climate, which for most of us has been one of the most testing and stressful times of our lives, how can The Musical Body Process give us the opportunity to be in an encouraging and nourishing environment where you are supported to explore the pleasure of co-creating with others? Charlotte is currently offering a combination of online and in-person private and small group sessions locally (for adults and children alike) including Embodied Rhythm Meditations, TaKeTiNa Rhythm Process Practice Laboratories, The Musical Body Process weekly classes and retreats, creative mentoring, songwriting lessons, professional development, vocal-musicalart commissions and a dash of body-work (on land and in warm-water) on the side. Also, Charlotte recently co-created Murmuring Walk at Sanatorium Lake Mount Macedon, which is a free audio-guided walk. You may like to check it out, also her just launched sophomore album Incantations. See advert for contact details.

Brainless chuckers Name withheld, Gisborne We live a Big Mac wolfing, a medium Coke slurping, and a beer stubby guzzling distance from Gisborne. We are therefore used to picking up discarded McDonalds packaging plus assorted alcoholic drink cans and bottles from our roadside. About lunchtime last Sunday, October 10, this Carlton Dry bottle, presumably thrown from a passing car, smashed through the side of our letterbox. We wonder whether these brainless chuckers looked before they hurled, in case there were horse-riders, walkers or cyclists nearby.

Safety upgrade essential Name withheld, Woodend Interesting to note the somewhat hysterical reactions by a minority of individuals to VicRoads' Black Forest Drive safety upgrade. This dangerous piece of outdated ‘fourlane’ road infrastructure has an appalling safety record with six fatalities and 36 serious-injury crashes between 2001 and 2020. The $6 million upgrade (which can be viewed at regionalroads.vic.gov.au/map/ loddon-mallee-improvements/black-forestdrive-safety-improvements) was a result of extensive research, analysis and feedback from the wider community. It is designed to enhance the safety of ALL road users, which includes motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. Hardly what one would deem madness ('Madness!', Opinions, October 12). It has been endorsed at a recent webinar by both Victoria Police and the CFA who have endorsed the proposal and along with VicRoads representatives cleared up some misinformation perpetuated by some, including that there would be no opportunities for overtaking particularly for emergency vehicles. It was made clear that both the bicycle lane and centre median could be used when safe to do so in emergencies. In addition, it was designed for 40,000 vehicles per day and is now carrying less than 10,000. It seems that some individuals are more concerned with their ability to overtake than the overall safety of the community.

John Mitchell’s views ('Short sighted in the extreme', Opinions, October 12) supporting the commercial development proposal along Edgecombe Road, Kyneton, raises particular concerns about the Lot 1 (PS 331532T), application for the development of a service station with associated retail convenience restaurants, and alteration of access to a road zone (including Edgecombe, Saleyards and Pipers Creek Roads). The land is close to the southern entry to the Calder Highway. The Lot 1 (PS 331532T) land is flood prone due to the location of the Post Office Creek tributary to the Campaspe River. A vital consideration for VCAT, the Victorian Government, the Macedon Ranges Shire Council, businesses and communities in the context of climate science. There are important environmental and conservation landscape issues requiring thorough assessment – ecological biodiversity, habitat (including birds and kangaroos), nature conservation and water quality. Government ministers and councils, more so since the priority given to environmental and biodiversity legislation, have frequently had to address the best use of flood-prone land when considering permits for land use. The Lot 1 (PS 331532T) proposal, along with the other Edgecombe Road proposals, present challenges for the Victorian Government and the council in maximising day and night road traffic and pedestrian safety, especially when poor weather conditions. A calming roundabout for the intersection or a realignment of Saleyards and Pipers Creek Roads with Edgecombe Road, and the installation of traffic lights? The diverse environmental and conservation issues associated with Lot 1 (PS 331532T) require respect. There are better land uses more beneficial for the present and future habitat, the community, tourists and visitors that encompass the development of a recreation reserve that recognises the issues I address. If the applicant’s proposal was to proceed, consider the consequences of opportunities being lost for a better environmental and habitat landscape!

Disaster recovery process is a disaster Michael Kennedy, Pipers Creek My attention was attracted to the article, 'Storm recovery ongoing' (Midland Express, October 12), as my farm property suffered extensive damage in the June wind storm. Over 20 major trees were uprooted, mainly ghost gums and iron barks and extensive damage was caused to the roof and structure of a large steel machinery shed by massive falling branches of a large old tree. I did not report the damage to any authorities. The article suggested a one-off nonmeans tested payment of $1000 was available from the federal government via disasterassist.gov.au. After spending more than 30 minutes trying to find an application form for this oneoff payment on the web site, I gave up and phoned the listed 180 22 66 number, which

turned out to be Services Australia. That is a gross misnomer. I hung up after nearly 20 minutes, without speaking to a person, after being told to have my bank account details ready for disclosure. I then tried the BRV Storm Register on brv.vic.gov.au/cleanup, with the same result. I telephoned the local member for McEwen, Rob Mitchell, and registered my displeasure at the poorly designed website. Why could not a simple fit-for-purpose user-friendly application form have been designed with the resources available to the federal government?

Time and efficiency John Herron, Riddells Creek As the wicked COVID virus seeps into the Macedon Ranges, and the number of Tier 1 and 2 sites increases locally, many residents are scrambling to get tested. But where to get tested? The only local site is Kyneton (day) Hospital; however, they were only taking bookings days in advance. Other options emerged but were experiencing delays – Melton two-three hour waits and then there was Sunbury … well. A Gisborne local had detected a sneaky drivethrough site in Toolern Vale but alas, this was also booked solid. In comes a Romsey friend with knowledge of the Kilmore COVID drive through. So off in the car to Kilmore, a brisk 15-minute wait and an excuse to visit the Lancefield Bakery. Sounds like a good day – except that was Monday and by Friday, no result was forthcoming. A reality check was the household required two tests – one for the nine-year-old – for visiting sites where a contact had visited on a different day or hours apart. Beside the point. We were alerted to the latter via a DHHS text eight days after the event. No disrespect to our Romsey friends, it emerged that the wise choice was a drive to the Melbourne Showgrounds for a 15m wait and result in 24hrs. Problem solved. Road trip stories aside, COVID testing will be with us for many years and the situation described above is being replicated state-wide, as evidenced by the much lower per capita testing in Victoria. The frontline staff are on the ball and dedicated. It’s the behind-the-scenes executive leadership failing again. Solution? Friends in the UK and relatives in Ireland utilise RAT kits as a tool in the testing area. Let’s park the cost – RAT @ $9 per unit versus the current $90 invasive test cost – it’s a time and efficiency argument. People overseas utilise the 5m result RATs when they have the sniffles and are surer they do not have COVID. Off to work or school they go. Airlines utilise this as well.

It ain't broke Jim Morrison, Woodend It takes a really stupid idea to stir me into action. I refer to the proposal to narrow Black Forest Drive. Two questions need to be asked. Is it going to make the road more safe? Is going to improve the flow of traffic? I believe the answer to both questions is a resounding NO. As the old saying goes “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

Gisborne development challenged

Macedon Ranges Council has challenged a Gisborne construction bid for its overdevelopment, as it proceeds to VCAT. Five double-storey buildings, including one office, are planned for 1018sqms of commercially zoned land at 48 Brantome Street. While council planning officers recommended approval, councillor Rob Guthrie was adamant the proposal was inappropriate for the location. He gained support in a split 5-4 vote to refuse the application at the council's planning committee meeting last week. "This development does not respect the neighbourhood character and is an overdevelopment of the site," he said. "If you visit the site you will see that there are many medium density developments but they are single-storey with only three, or occasionally four, dwellings per lot.

"Five double-storey buildings on such a small site would appear too bulky. This is totally out of character and we should be refusing it." But Crs Geoff Neil and Dominic Bonanno supported the officer's recommendation that, on balance, the proposal was in keeping with the planning policy and framework. The application attracted two objections from the community relating to design response and amenity impact to adjoining lots. A division recorded councillors in support of refusal were: Guthrie, Anderson, West, Moore and Death. Those opposed were: Ridgeway, Pearce, Neil and Bonanno. The application is now subject to an appeal to VCAT against the council’s failure to determine the matter within the statutory timeframe.

Seed to table

explore their diverse surroundings, discover ways in which to work with the elements and work alongside nature. Class three and four work in the garden every week with a specialist garden teacher. They learn to plant seeds in the hot house, carefully potting them up and planting them out, to later harvest them. They learn to nurture the soil, through biodynamic practice, and work with different types of compost and two huge worm farms! The organic waste from the classrooms is all composted; if the chooks and guinea pigs don’t eat it first! Students work in all areas of the garden, pruning, planting, mulching and weeding. Here they learn the value of authentic work and experience what it feels like to contribute for the benefit of the community. A practical understanding of ecology, biology and botany are also the result. Senior students send their support to those students still working remotely.

Supporting students to be their best

Sacred Heart College is a co-educational year 7–12 Catholic school proudly in the Mercy tradition. The college has been delivering outstanding education to young women and men for well over 130 years, with an unconditional commitment to support all students to become the best young people they can be – academically, spiritually, socially, physically and psychologically. During the challenging past 18 months, Sacred Heart College’s students have been strongly supported by a rigorous, engaging and contemporary curriculum that has been delivered successfully both on-site and through remote learning. "Our teachers, learning support staff and wellbeing staff have ensured that students' social and emotional needs have been catered for, while our careers staff continue to work with our senior students to assisting them with their understanding of the broadest post-school pathway options available,

as they prepare for their final exams," principal Dr Darren Egberts says. "The past few days have seen all Sacred Heart College students return to onsite learning for parts of the week, and it has been delightful to see students meeting and talking with friends not seen for several months. "Providing a balance between essential learning and teaching activities and time missed with peers will be a priority for staff and college leaders for the remainder of 2021. "I encourage those in our local community currently considering options for their children’s secondary journey to learn more about the diverse educational offerings of Sacred Heart College Kyneton by visiting the college website [www.shckyneton.catholic.edu.au], attending one of our regular virtual enrolment conversations or an onsite tour when restrictions allow these to return."

“That’s the best lunch ever!” say the class four students when they present the meal they have cooked for the class lunch. Having grown the produce, and turned it into a meal for their classmates, they feel justifiably proud. The ‘Seed to Table’ program has been an important part in the lives of students at the Castlemaine Steiner School and Kindergarten since the school’s inception. The natural environment is an important component of Steiner Education where what is learned in the classroom, is met and enhanced in the natural world. In addition to literacy and numeracy, each year level studies topics relating to their local surroundings. Through this the students develop a connection to nature, our First Nations people, its history and the present-day environment. The outdoor education program sees the students

Virtual gallery tours Girton Grammar Junior School students have been visiting art galleries and speaking to notable artists during lockdown, helping to hone their art skills and draw inspiration from real-life artists who have spoken to students live from their studios. Junior School art teacher at Girton Grammar School, Nic James, said that students were relishing the opportunity to do some artwork from their homes during remote learning. “While we would all prefer to be doing art classes face-to-face with the usual resources at our fingertips, our students have been doing some wonderful work from kitchen tables, bedroom desks, back decks and front verandas," Ms James said. “Art classes allow students to work away from their screens after some initial instruction, which is valuable when students are reliant on digital learning in their homes. “There is nothing quite like seeing the pro-

fessionals at work and hearing about their journey into making a living out of painting or drawing. So far, we have had visits with three notable artists, and the children have been hugely inspired. “Our year four students had a session with artist Sarah Gabriel, who showed them around her Kyneton studio 'Lauriston Press' in Piper Street. Sarah talked about what inspires her and how she commences an artwork. Students asked questions via a chat function, which worked very well. “Sarah even gave four lucky students a small piece of her artwork, which they received in the mail. “I hope that in some small way these virtual gallery visits and discussions with professional artists support the natural love of creation that most young people have, especially at a time when they are spending a lot of time on screens,” Ms James said.

Top toy tips for a Karismatic Christmas

Have you started your Christmas shopping list? If toys are on it, here's how to go about shopping the Karismatic way... Amanda Knight from Woodend’s independent toy store Karismatic Kids says: "Lockdown life has made us all appreciate our outdoor time and kids want to get on the move this season". In-store, toddlers have been enjoying wheelie bugs, trikes, and balance bikes. “They just love the independence of being able to zip around!” For quieter times Amanda suggests shape sorting, pattern recognition activities and traditional playdough to help toddlers extend their fine motor skills. Preschoolers, on the other hand, have been riding out the door on Mini Microscooters. Amanda recommends the three-wheel lean-to-steer concept for this

age group thanks to its clever design. "Kids get a feel for their body weight in motion, which is a transferable skill for bike riding," Amanda says. At home, pretend play is the order of the day as “kinder kids love copying grown-ups whether it’s playing the role of a doctor, mechanic, chef or barista." If your child is primary age or older, Amanda has observed the local skate park is the place to ‘hang’ . “The new release Ramp model from Microscooter is ultra-agile for doing 180s or tail whips.” For tweenage downtime, it’s all about funny card games. Popular titles include hilariously named Exploding Kittens, Unstable Unicorns and Llamas Unleashed. Karismatic Kids is open Monday to Saturday. You find the store at 96A High Street, Woodend (opposite the town clock tower).

Enter to win this fantastic World Kangaroo Day Prize.

Celebrating a national icon To celebrate World Kangaroo Day on October 24, local wildlife carers Nikki and Scott Medwell of Red Box Wildlife Shelter at Elphinstone are once again celebrating the Australian icon with a special prize giveaway. Express readers can win a prize pack from our friends at Red Box Wildlife Shelter, which includes a beautiful print by photographer Tamara Kenneally, a $100 voucher for Barbecues Galore and two exclusive celebratory World Kangaroo Day coffee mugs. The pack also includes a wildlife rescue kit to store in your car and your very own copy of film Kangaroo A Love-Hate Story, which highlights the plight of our kangaroos and the need to protect them. The local couple's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, raise and release the roos that come into their care, along with teaching compassion, promoting education and encouraging advocacy for kangaroos. As well as nursing injured joeys and roos back to health, Nikki and Scott have also created the 'Mr Boo's Roo Rangers' program and educational resources around the theme of their first rescue – their much loved 'Mr Boo' – and aim to increase knowledge and awareness about the native animals. Twelve months ago the couple also launched the www.kangaroorangers.com website where community members of all ages across the globe can learn more about kangaroos, download free education resources and become 'Roo Rangers'. In the lead up to World Kangaroo Day, local youngsters who complete one of the

activities on the Roo Rangers website can email it off to the Red Box team for the chance to win a special Roo Rangers pin. Nikki said that with a proposed kangaroo pet meat processing plant at Inglewood recently in the headlines, it was more important than ever for people to educate themselves about the plight of our Aussie icon by watching the film and utilising their online resources to learn more about these amazing creatures. Red Box Wildlife Shelter is also in dire need of more volunteers to help them continue their work. "We have a couple of great helpers but more are always needed. As we rehabilitate one animal, another takes its place, the work is ongoing and more hands are always welcome to lighten the load. It's incredibly rewarding to know you are making a difference," she said. Nikki said more wildlife rescuers were also desperately needed with volunteers in the Mount Alexander region now down to just two. To find out how to become a volunteer at Red Box, email Nikki at elroos3448@ gmail.com or to learn more about becoming a wildlife rescuer visit www.wildlifevictoria. org.au ENTER TO WIN To enter the World Kangaroo Day competition, write your name, address and contact number on an envelope marked 'World Kangaroo Day Prize' and post it off to us at 3 Market Street, Kyneton 3444 or 13 Hargraves Street, Castlemaine 3450 or drop it under the door at our offices.

SPORTS wrap Cochrane to lead new Magpie squad

Castlemaine Football Netball Club has announced its inaugural Senior Women's football coach for the 2022 CVFLW Season as former CFNC Youth Girls U18s footballer and ex-AFLW player Tiahna Cochrane. Tiahna has most recently played for Golden Square Football Netball Club and in season 2021 was winner of the Champions IGA goalkicking title for 40 goals in 11 matches and later announced as a key forward in the High Street X-Ray Team of the Year. While her football career started locally at Castlemaine, the versatile player quickly progressed to play for powerhouse Bendigo Thunder, winning a premiership in 2017. That same year she shared the club's Best and Fairest award and was also named the Northern Football League women’s coaches 'Player of the Year'. From there, Tiahna was selected by Carlton Football Club as pick No. 5 in the AFLW rookie draft 2017, following in the footsteps of her great uncle Trevor Keogh who was a Carlton Team of the Century member. Her uncle Rod Keogh also played for St Kilda and Melbourne. Tiahna will be a playing coach for the CFNC Senior Women's football team and has been busy behind the scenes preparing for preseason training, which begins November 15. She will be supported by CFNC Senior Men's football coach, Don Moran, throughout the season. "The CFNC have been so supportive of women's football, ever since their first youth girls team, and it is great to see a number of former youth girls premiership players returning to the club as senior women," Tiahna said. "The hype around the club in anticipation of the new team is significant, particularly at the junior level. We'll be undertaking our preseason training alongside the senior men's playing group who have already been very welcoming and supportive," she said. CFNC is pleased to see a number of former CFNC Youth Girls players have indicated their desire to return and play senior women's football for their home club. The CFNC Youth Girls were in grand finals each year from 2013-2016 and were league premiers in 2013 and 2015. "Due to the previous lack of a senior team in Castlemaine these women were formerly required to travel to Bendigo in order to continue playing football, which was a

Photo: Peter Banko loss for CFNC given their success on behalf of the club in previous years," said women's football operations manager Georgia Banks. "We're excited to be working with these women again," Georgia said. The Cochrane dynasty continues, with Tiahna's sister Ella Cochrane committed to play for 2022 alongside a number of CFNC former Youth Girls players including Tayla Sartori, Beppina Marshall, Macey Parry, Billie-Lee Humphrey, Brenda Taofinnu, Mya Meemusor, Meg Ginnivan and Cass Humphrey. Recruitment remains open to all community members. Club president Caleb Kuhle said it was an exciting time for the club. "Our hope is that the presence of a local team will

increase accessibility for women in our region and hopefully encourage more to become involved in playing footy who weren't previously. It's a great sport with increased opportunities for sportswomen to progress through various development pathways in our region," he said. Anyone who wishes to be part of the CFNC women's football team is welcome to attend information sessions at CFNC Club rooms, Camp Reserve, Castlemaine at 7pm on Monday October 25, or Wednesday November 3. Both Tiahna and Georgia will be on hand to answer questions and provide key information. Further announcements will be made via the CFNC's social media channels and website regarding preseason training. If you wish to make an enquiry, email secretary@castlemainefnc.com.au

JJunior unior girls girls kkicking icking g goals oals Castlemaine Junior Football Club's 'Summer Series' for junior girls is kicking off tomorrow evening, October 20, at the Camp Reserve. Magpie Under 16 coach Stuart Dunn said the program was a first for the club, a football monthly training session aimed at giving current players a chance to hone their skills and for new players to get involved. Dunn said the new program was all part of the club's expansion plans next season. "We have a very keen group of girls from our Under 14 side this year who will move into the Under 16s next year so we are aiming to fill both those sides and if numbers permit we can also potentially add an Under 12 and Under 18 team as well," he said. With a surge in the popularity of female football across the country, and the announcement last week of a local Castlemaine senior team for 2022, Dunn said there was great interest in the sport. "It's a great time to get involved in the game now there is a pathway from Auskick right through to open-age games," he said. "With our games being on a Sunday we are finding a lot of girls who play other sports on Saturdays are giving footy a go on Sundays and loving it," he said. The CJFC Girls Summer Series will be held on Wednesday evenings from 5-6pm at the Camp Reserve from tomorrow, and will continue monthly on November 17, December 8, January 19 and February 16. Among the players involved is long-time Magpie footballer Chelsea Lewis. Chelsea began her involvement with the Magpies Under 9s playing alongside the boys and enjoyed several seasons with the club before play started getting a little rough. After taking some time out she returned when the club created a junior girls side

Chelsea Lewis (centre) is believed to be the first Magpie female footballer to notch up 50 games in the club’s 162-year history. Photo: Max Lesser and hasn't looked back, notching up her 50th game with the club in 2021. Chelsea said she loved her football and hoped to take it as far as she could. "I really enjoyed the 2021 season. We had a really great time. They were a really friendly and supportive group of players," she said. The talented forward is excited about the announcement of the new Open Women's side. "It's exciting that a new pathway has opened up. I'd love to take it all the way and play AFLW one day," she said. In the meantime the goal sneak, who finished in the top five in the league's goal scoring in 2021, is looking forward to the challenge of stepping up to the Under 16s in 2022. Coach Stuart Dunn said it was a fantastic achievement for any junior player to

reach 50 games, and he believed Chelsea was the first female player to do so for Castlemaine. "The club is 162 years old so it is a very special achievement!" he said. "Chelsea is a dangerous forward who led our goal kicking this season, including a great four-goal game in a win against Golden Square. "More importantly though, Chelsea is a great team player, she is a ferocious tackler and leads the way in team spirit on and off the field. Her teammates really enjoy playing with her and Chelsea celebrates their success more than her own," he said. "Now that Castlemaine has an open age team, I'd expect Chelsea to go a long way with her football. She might even be the first female Magpie to 200 games one day!" Dunn said.

Falcons appeal decision

The Mount Alexander Falcons have appealed to the Australian Football League to review AFL Central Victoria's decision to permit only one local side, Castlemaine Football Netball Club, to enter a senior women's team in the Central Victoria Football League – Women in 2022. The club was reportedly in talks with the AFL on Monday but was unable to provide an update at the time of going to press. The Falcons executive last week expressed disappointment at the decision saying it was given no explanation, despite the fact it had players, resources and new facilities ready to go as outlined in its proposal. Falcons president Louise Connell said many women’s footy teams, particularly in the country, are bolted-on to men’s clubs – whereas they wanted women’s footy to be the focus. "The Falcons are structured so 100 per cent of income generated goes to improving participation in Australian Rules Football by women, girls and gender diverse people in Mt Alexander,” Connell said. Falcons vice-president Alana Wearne said the decision was a massive blow to the women and gender-diverse people who had already put their hand up to play. “This is a missed opportunity by AFL Central Victoria where a group of dedicated people are trying to build a club that focuses on inclusion for women and gender diverse people, a club that was trying to say 'you are safe, welcome and free at our club to be you and play football'. The missed broader positive social and cultural implications of having a club like ours is what devastates me the most,” Wearne said.

Sports pavilion contract likely

With tenders from four building companies to consider, a contract for the Trentham Sports Ground Reserve Pavilion redevelopment could be approved tonight (Tuesday). A recommendation to accept a tender of $1,871,847 (excluding GST) is to go before Hepburn Shire Council. Tenders were advertised in late July for the priority project. The design of the contemporary multipurpose community sports pavilion aimed to meet the needs of tenant sports clubs and the wider Trentham community. Universal access, gender equity and family friendly design were keynote requirements. Trentham user groups have been pressing for a significant upgrade at the sports ground for years.

Support Movember

Romsey Bowling Club is throwing its weight behind Gerry Kirwan’s Movember charitable fundraising. Gerry (pictured) is a loyal bowling club member who has raised $1675 since 2018 to assist men’s health, whether it be suicide prevention, battling prostrate or testicular cancer, or other afflictions. The club says Gerry needs its support – and the support of anyone willing to donate – to raise funds for a great cause. The Romsey resident has taken on the physical challenge of running and walking 60 kilometres as motivation. This is linked to the fact 60 men lose their lives prematurely each hour of the day and this number can be reduced. Gerry raised $910 last year, and wants to top that tally this year. “Men are dying too young, and we can’t afford to remain silent,” he declared. By 2030, the charity hopes to see the number of men dying prematurely by 25 per cent – every little bit (monetary donation) helps. Readers wishing to help can go to the Romsey Bowling Club Facebook site now to see how to donate.

SPORTS wrap Star to coach Tigers U18s

Four times club best and fairest winner Rhys Magin is Kyneton Under 18s football coach for 2022. “Our young men will now be coached by the player they have all looked up to for years and that’s exciting for everyone at Kyneton,” club president Hayden Evans said after Magin’s appointment was confirmed last week. Former AFL superstar Paul Chapman continues in his second season in charge of the Tigers’ seniors, and Jesse Grae is back as Reserves coach. The Kyneton executive is thrilled to have a trio with such passion and leadership skills in charge leading into next season. Chapman and Grae are rapt with Magin’s appointment and can’t wait to see what he can achieve “with this fantastic group of young men”. Evans said the club couldn’t be happier to be appointing Magin as U18s coach. “He has been a brilliant player and clubman since he first arrived at the Showgrounds in 2015.” Magin chalked up his 100th milestone game for Kyneton this season. The 32-year-old brings a wealth of knowledge, skill and ability to extend the club’s vision through his new role. A brilliant midfielder – onballer, Magin was born in Nambour and represented Queensland U18s in 2007; he was on Essendon’s rookie list in 2008 and 2009 and later played with Avondale Heights before joining Kyneton. In 2019 he was named in the team of the decade by the Bendigo Advertiser.

Rhys Magin is Kyneton Under 18s football coach for 2022.

Pound to coach Hawks Bill West Woodend-Hesket Football Netball Club acted quickly early last week when Ben Tankard decided to step down as nonplaying senior coach after two years at the helm. In a swift, seamless move, the Hawks’ hierarchy installed quality midfielderforward Josh Pound (pictured) as playing coach for 2022. “He brings really strong values and has exceptional leadership qualities, which made our decision to appoint him easy,” stated vice-president James Chettle, who is poised to take over the presidency at the Hawks’ annual meeting early next month. Current president Paul Podbury said Tankard had made a positive contribution in difficult times with the pandemic, and had set the club up for a positive future. Tankard previously coached Macedon after the Cats’ 2017 premiership breakthrough, then crossed to the Hawks with plenty of optimism, but the pandemic and injuries to key players were not kind to him. He said after nearly 20 seasons coaching without some time off, it was time to take a break from the game, and he looked forward to being a spectator next year. Tankard has been weighing up his football involvement for some time. He described Woodend-Hesket as a wonder-

Josh Pound is the Hawks’ playing coach for 2022. ful club, with a really good community in Woodend as well. A long-time Hawk, Podbury has worked extremely hard during his time as president, and local building industry operator Chettle taking over the role provides a smooth transition. Chettle was co-coach of the Hawks’ Reserves in 2021, and he described Pound’s energy towards seeing the club progress to finals as “amazing”. “The club is looking forward to a big preseason, and hopefully a successful 2022,” Chettle said.

Pound crossed to Woodend-Hesket at the beginning of 2021 and his vitality, football nous and ability to carry injuries has impressed many. He was a multiple premiership player with Aberfeldie, played with Broadford when that club was in the RDFNL, and has good knowledge of the background of many of the relatively new players who have joined the Hawks in the past two seasons. Pound has previously worked in the business sector with the Western Bulldogs, and is regarded as someone who can utilise his leadership skills to get the best out of others around him. PRESENTATION NIGHT Woodend-Hesket’s annual presentation night takes place this Thursday, and there is keen interest in who will take out the club’s best and fairest awards across all grades in football and netball. Hawks’ players excelled in the league’s vote counts, with star recruit Megan Grbac winning the Ryan Medal in her first season in the competition, and teammate Hayley Rogers runner-up. On-field, it was the best season yet for Woodend-Hesket across the board. The club’s annual meeting is on Monday, November 8, and Podbury urges community minded individuals to consider being involved in the club’s future by making meaningful contributions.

Starting at $5, Helvetian was rated superbly in front by in-form rider Will Gordon, and won by just under a length from outsider Wolf Whistle.

No spectators at Cup Bill West

Club ‘bitterly disappointed’

Kyneton and Hanging Rock Racing Club general manager, Jon Dight, says the club is “bitterly disappointed” that for the second year in a row, the prestigious Kyneton Cup meeting will be held without spectators. The news came as a link in to an announcement last week by Racing Victoria, in conjunction with Country Racing Victoria, on spectators at future race meetings. When it was revealed that the Melbourne Cup at

Flemington on Tuesday, November 2, would have 10,000 spectators, many racegoers thought that it would be fair for Kyneton to have some limited attendance the following day, but it's not to be. “We were very close to being able to host a crowd, albeit restricted, but just fell short. We now look forward to hosting crowds for our Christmas race meetings in December and January,” Dight said. There has been speculation for months on whether the 2021 Kyneton Cup meeting would be “back to normal” with the impact of the COVID pandemic continuing, but changing as well.

There is a public holiday gazetted in Kyneton and surrounds for Cup Day. The Racing Victoria/Country Racing Victoria announcement confirmed that spectators will be permitted to return to Victorian race meetings from Thursday, November 4 (Oaks Day) should the state reach its target of 80 percent of Victorians aged 16 years and over being fully vaccinated against COVID. A petition calling on Premier Daniel Andrews to reverse the 'no spectators at Kyneton' scenario has been launched.

Petition to allow crowds at Kyneton Cup

Macedon Ranges resident Suzanne Carroll, a successful fashion designer and ardent racegoer, has made a petition-led bid to persuade authorities to allow spectators to attend the 2021 Kyneton Cup race meeting on November 3. The Riddells Creek entrepreneur said the residents of Macedon Ranges had supported the action to get vaccinated and deserved to be able to attend the event. "Currently more than 90 per cent have received their single dose with 74.3 per cent double dosed (as at October 14)," Suzanne said. "A crowd of 10,000 are allowed on Tuesday November 2 in metro Melbourne, however the Kyneton Cup on Wednesday November 3 is not allowed crowds. "This is grossly unfair to Kyneton businesses and everybody who looks forward to it as regional Victoria has far less COVID cases than metro Melbourne. "We want this decision overturned and crowds – fully vaccinated, socially distanced – allowed to attend this year's Kyneton Cup."

“He has given his all, and now it’s time for him to enjoy his next phase of life.” These were the words of Kyneton trainer George Osborne, reflecting on the decision to retire stable star Reine Happy, with an outstanding record of 65 starts, 13 wins and 17 placings, and prizemoney of $263,525 behind him. Reine Happy is anything but another racehorse. He had a unique personality, a big will to win, and was a favourite of many who rode him in trackwork, and in races. Apprentice Tayla Childs, daughter of former champion jockey Greg Childs, won her first race on Reine Happy in the Rising Stars Race at Bendigo on July 3, 2020. “I can’t wait to see him in his next phase of life. He’s a favourite of mine for ever,” Tayla said on hearing of the retirement decision. There’s been other tributes flowing in to a galloper who was a good friend to those around him, and there’s probably plenty of punters who can relate how the now 10-year-old gelding made them happy as well. “For those who know ‘Happ’ he’s one of a kind,” his trainer said. “Not only was he a very good racehorse he was a big character around the stables, and he built several relationships with his owners, stable staff, riders etc. over the journey. “One of the best runs in his career was a close second in the Benalla Cup in 2020. “His bold front running was a pleasure to watch and it always took a good horse to run him down. He absolutely loved the big Bendigo track, and notched up four wins there.” Osborne described the day Tayla Childs rode her first winner as “an amazing day”. ‘Happ’ knew it was also, strutting back to the mounting yard. “Well done on a great career old boy, and thanks so much for all the memories. “It definitely won’t be the same seeing another horse in his box which gets the early afternoon sun and overlooks the picturesque Kyneton racecourse,” Osborne added. Reine Happy, by Good Journey from Reine Sauvage, had his

His last race start was sixth to Inn Keeper at Terang on April 18 this year, following a third in the Tocumwal Cup. Tayla Childs rode him in both races. Reine Happy’s winning strike rate of 20 per cent, and 46 per cent placings, is remarkable. His last win was at Geelong on July 3 last year over 1330m.
