Licence L icence o on n hold hold Coliban Water’s bid to amend its licence for the Kyneton Water Reclamation Plant is temporarily on hold, after Environment Protection Authority Victoria called for more information. The licence regulates releases of wastewater from the plant to the Campaspe River and has allowed a maximum ratio of 20 per cent treated water to 80 per cent river flow (1:5). But the dilution ratio has been measured at Redesdale, 40 kilometres downstream from the release point at Kyneton, where increased flows greatly dilute the wastewater. Now, after spending $17M on improvements to the plant including more storage lagoons and a pipeline for sending recycled water to landowners for irrigation, the EPA notified Coliban Water it would have to measure dilution at Kyneton. Coliban Water is expected to be seeking a reduction in the required dilution ratio and submitted its application on March 21, but EPA manager of permissioning, Stephen Adamthwaite, said there was not sufficient information. “The licence assessment process is prescribed in law and requires a detailed assessment of the proposal, any potential effects on the community and environment, and the effectiveness of any safeguards built into it,” Mr Adamthwaite said. “EPA won’t start the formal process until we have enough information to make a complete assessment." The potential project has drawn a lot of interest from the community and EPA is placing strong emphasis on informing and hearing from anyone who might be affected. “The regulatory process does not specify public consultation on the detail of a licence amendment, but EPA sees feedback as important to ensuring that people understand how it might benefit the community and have a chance to raise any issues before a decision is made,” Mr Adamthwaite said. Local landowners who have been adversely affected by illegal releases of wastewater to the river over the course of the past decade have welcomed the news. "Coliban Water should guarantee via the licence that it will never again pollute the river with C Class water," landowner Huntly Barton said. "Now that they've spent millions on the lagoons and pipeline they should never be able to send polluted water into the river again. "We'll be looking forward to Mary-Anne Thomas MP coming on board with us, loud and clear, making sure that the river is no longer polluted." EPA will inform the community once the application has been accepted for assessment and is available for public feedback, and there will be more community engagement sessions, with the timing to be set once the application has been formally accepted.

Host of COVID restrictions scrapped
Close contact quarantine, proof of vaccination and mask mandates for most settings have been scrapped with a raft of other pandemic orders. Minister for Health Martin Foley changed restrictions on Friday following a near 70 per cent uptake of the third COVID vaccination. "As the peak of the Omicron wave begins to subside... Victoria will move into winter safely with most restrictions removed from," he said. Patrons will no longer need to show vaccination status before entering any venue, and requirements for staff and patrons to check-in have ended. Masks will no longer be required in primary schools, early childhood, hospitality and retail settings, or at events of any size. Close contacts will no longer have to quarantine, provided they wear a mask indoors and avoid sensitive settings. They will also need to undertake at least five negative rapid tests over the seven days that would previously have been the self-quarantine period.

weeks previously. What rules still apply? Individuals will still be required to notify their workplace contacts, in addition to informing their social contacts. Workplaces won’t have to individually identify and notify each potentially exposed worker. Mr Foley said some critical and common-sense settings would be retained. "This includes the essential requirement to isolate for seven days following a COVID-19 diagnosis and existing two-dose and three-dose vaccination mandates for workers," he said. Visitor restrictions in care facilities will be retained to protect the vulnerable. Residents can currently have up to five visitors per day if each show a negative rapid antigen test result – or two visitors if no test results are provided. Face coverings will still be required on public transport and at airports – excluding airport workers who aren’t public facing – and in sensitive health, aged care and justice settings. All workplaces still require a COVIDSafe Plan. Mr Foley said many rules that were no longer required would be recommended, including working from home if you're a close contact exempt from quarantine.

Promises to fix mobile blackspots
New Optus and Telstra mobile phone base station sites will be built at Gisborne South. The federal government announced funding for the blackspot area last week, and election pledges also revealed Woodend is in sight for improvements. McEwen Labor incumbent Rob Mitchell and Liberal candidate Richard Welch have pledged to work with the community and council to provide new infrastructure and better connectivity for known blackspot areas. Prior to the federal funding announcement, the Labor Party promised $1.5 million to fix mobile blackspots in Woodend and Gisborne South if it wins the federal election. Mr Mitchell said it was critical for communities to have improved infrastructure for connection and safety. "There are many locations in the Macedon Ranges with poor mobile communications," Mr Mitchell said. "Labor believes we must do more to help regional communities when it comes to mobile blackspots... We stand ready to work with the Macedon Ranges Shire to support new base stations in our region."

Calls for pool heard Hepburn Council has heard a strong community call for an indoor aquatics facility, in adopting its Aquatics Strategy last week. “We heard from the community of the desire for year-round access to an aquatics facility, and have acknowledged this in the Aquatics Strategy,” mayor Tim Drylie said. “The strategy recognises there’s more work to be done in terms of detailed planning work for such a facility, including feasibility, business case and funding strategy. "As a small rural council we would look to state and federal government for significant support for capital and operational costs for such a facility, but we’ve certainly heard that this is an identified community need." Funding of $160,000 is to be considered in the 2022/23 budget that will be provided to undertake further detailed investigation
and develop a feasibility study/business case for indoor aquatics provision. That funding would ensure that during the year the council will investigate and develop a study that will review: aquatics provision options, preferred location, facility components and concept plan, capital cost estimate, financial operating model, and funding strategy. The Aquatics Strategy also includes a combination of information on facilities, industry research, along with capital works and maintenance priorities to ensure the existing facilities meet safety requirements. The council received 65 responses during the exhibition period on the draft strategy. Feedback from more than 1000 residents in 2021 informed the development of the strategy. The strategy is available on the council’s website at: hepburn.vic.gov.au

When carers left the scene, Petal immediately returned to her baby and lovingly caressed every inch of her form with her tongue. “Normally around this point in Petal’s previous birthings, her babies would have been taken from her,” Pam said. “Little Flower is the baby she will finally get to keep. There are few who could have witnessed this tender scene and not have been moved.” Little Flower’s arrival comes just as the sanctuary are gearing up for All Mother’s Day, an initiative encouraging people to pledge to eat kind and give kind this Mother’s Day. “From sharing a delicious plant-based brunch to choosing gifts that are not tested on animals, there are so many ways to make kinder choices for all mums, regardless of species,” Pam said.

Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary is celebrating the birth of a calf named Little Flower with a unique story. Sanctuary founder and director Pam Ahern said Little Flower's mum Petal was recently surrendered into their care with two other former milking cows. “Their humans loved them deeply and wished for them to be spared the dire fate of all dairy cows who have passed the peak of their productive years,” she said. It came to pass that Petal, a gentle friesian of about 10 years, was pregnant. And when she recently gave birth, sanctuary carers were moved by what they witnessed. “We had heard of perfectly healthy birds feigning injury to lure predators away from their young,” Pam mused. “We couldn’t help but wonder if that was what we were witnessing.” Wishing to check that all was well with the veteran mother and her bub, yet ever cautious not to invade their space, carers entered their field. “From afar, Petal spied us," Pam said. "And as we made our way that little bit closer, the doting mother took a gentle lick of her baby, then slowly moved away, never once looking back. She nonchalantly

FOUR IN HAND SHIRAZ
Winemaker Chris Hancock has been making wine for the Oatley family for over three decades. His passion is to create a wine that reflects the true characteristics of the grape in each bottle with minimal human intervention. 2018 was a great vintage in the Barossa Valley and the Four In Hand Shiraz exemplifies this. Harvested at ideal ripeness from a number of individual vineyards and fermented for up to 12 days to extract maximum flavour, the wine was matured in oak for 10 to 12 months. Displaying mulberry and dark fruit flavours with a hint of chocolate, this Barossa Shiraz has soft tannins and a touch of oak round out the palate. A great value red with 4 years of age, ready to drink now. Retail Price $24.00

It seems the small red pedestrian bridge installed across a public roadside drain on Castlemaine's Barker Street may be around for a bit longer yet. Local couple Mike and Adrienne Thorbecke had installed the little red number in recent months but recently received council notification that without the relevant permit, under local law requirements, they would be required to remove the structure by May 12. The council had received a complaint about the small structure, which features handrails and which the Thorbeckes say they installed both in an effort to improve safety for Adrienne, who has mobility and health issues, and also as a source of aes-
thetic enrichment for the community. After the Express last week ran a story about the fact that they would need to get rid of the bridge – or obtain a permit, potentially at significant cost – the couple received an upwelling of community support for the bright red addition to the local landscape. "We've had comments from about 150 people, overwhelmingly supportive," Mr Thorbecke told the Express this week. And after further communications with council it now seems there may be at least a temporary reprieve. "The council have now informed us that we need to apply to the Department of Transport VicRoads for a permit," Mr Thorbecke says. "And we've been told that the bridge can
stay until we get an official response from VicRoads, which may take a very long time." The Thorbeckes say they will now be writing to VicRoads and endeavouring to follow the procedures required to lodge an application for a permit enabling their little bridge to remain, while also continuing to communicate with the council as well. They say at this stage they do not know what cost might be incurred to obtain the requisite permit. "But I think there's a bit of grey area around disability and any incursion of additional costs by people with disability," Ms Thorbecke said. And so it seems that, for the time being at least, the red bridge on Barker will remain...

Swap Meet draws thousands
After being in recess for two years due to the COVID pandemic, the annual drawcard Lancefield Swap Meet and Show ‘n Shine returned with a vengeance on Easter Sunday. Lancefield Park was a hive of activity from early morning, with hundreds of stallholders eagerly anticipating buyers looking for bargains, and the main oval packed with vehicles of various ages and types in immaculate condition, awaiting the verdict of judges. It was car enthusiasts’ heaven, and ideal weather conditions also helped swell numbers; the Swap Meet has been the biggest fundraiser for Lancefield Football Netball Club for many years, and the local club was delighted with the level of support and interest. Attendance was estimated at around the 3500 mark, and
the number of valuable cars and utes on the main oval for judging was well in excess of what was regarded as around average in previous years. With some vehicles departing before judging could be completed, indications were there had been around 300 on the main oval. Judges were very impressed with the quality of the vehicles on show. Many car owners and stall holders indicated they were very pleased to be able to get back to the Lancefield Swap Meet once again, and promised to return next year’s event. BEST IN SHOW The coveted award for ‘Best in Show’ went to Bulla resident Paul Caccomo for his immaculate highly modified 1941 Willys Pro-Shot. An auto electrician by trade, Paul purchased the vehicle

Kyneton Lions Club will continue to operate despite fears last month it may shut down due to low membership. Members voted to continue the club's fundraising efforts and activities with hopes to attract new members over the next year. "We will persevere," club treasurer Dennis Bertoncini said. "We had the zone chairman attend our April meeting and he told members that a lot of clubs were in similar positions with declining members. "We're still going ahead but still looking for volunteers to assist with events and new members. "If people come along and volunteer they can see what we do first-hand and see if they want to become a member." Most recently, Kyneton Lions were collecting donations for the Good Friday Appeal. The team stationed at Kyneton's Mollison Street and High Street traffic light intersection across both
Thursday and Friday, collected $6393. This total contributed to the $18,537 collected throughout the Kyneton and district area for The Royal Children's Hospital. "With pandemic restrictions, it has been frustrating that we haven't been able to get out in the community and hold our usual fundraisers," secretary Denise Bertoncini said. "We really hope that we can start getting out there more now." The club's next exciting project is Cash-a-Can, which is taking place at the Kyneton High School bus depot on May 14 from 10am to noon. People can donate their old used cans to be turned into cash for community projects. At the April club meeting, the club also selected its office bearers for another term. David Quarrell was reinstated as club president, Dennis Bertoncini as treasurer, and Denise Bertoncini and Lindsay Potter will share the role of secretary.

A new state-of-the-art kiln will strengthen Castlemaine Secondary College's dynamic ceramics program. CSC school council president, Beth Mellick, said the $18,000 kiln was a fantastic investment in the popular program. "While many schools no longer offer ceramics, our program has gone from strength to strength, which is a reflection of our strong local arts community," she said. "Our students can study ceramics from year seven right through to VCE Art with the option to select the medium as part of our 'Materials Exploration' course." Ms Mellick said the new kiln formed part of a brand-new dedicated ceramics space, which opened at the Blakeley Street Cam-
pus in 2022. "It's a fantastic new light-filled space where students can explore their creativity," she said. CSC art teacher and respected local artist, Clayton Tremlett, said they were thrilled to have access to the new kiln. "It's fantastic! Unlike the old gas-fired kilns it is powered by electricity generated by the school's solar panels and it's very energy efficient," he said. Mr Tremlett said the acquisition of the new kiln could not have been better timed. "La Trobe University has recently resumed its popular ceramics course after an absence of some years. This is great news for our aspiring young ceramicists and potters, with a clear pathway through to further study now available right here in central Victoria," he said.

Macedon Ranges craft distillery Gindu has secured two double gold awards on a world stage, since launching 18 months ago. The team was elated with the most recent win at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition last week. “We’ve been going for 18 months,” founder Matt Grainger said, “and while we thought we had made some great gins, the industry feedback has been incredible and we’re so humbled and proud.” It was Gindu's Coastal Gin and The Australian Dry that impressed judges to win the highly coveted Double Gold Award. The honour is only awarded if all panel judges awards the spirit a gold medal. Gindu’s Coastal Gin, launched in November 2021. It is a bartender strength gin (48 per cent), with a juniper forward savoury style gin. The Australian Dry, launched in June 2021 and had previously won Best In Class in the Classic Dry Category at the Australian Gin Awards in 2021. The distillery is making a splash on the Australian craft distilling industry, having won four awards in it’s first awards season including a bronze. “On a global stage, an Australian

"Promoting Australia locally and to the world is exactly why we exist.” Gindu combines its creators' love of

Historian and writer Ken James with one of his co-authors, Muckleford’s Judy Eastwood (nee Leversha) and her granddaughter, Clementine, with a copy of the newly completed history of Woodbrook to be launched at Harcourt next month.

New book records history of Woodbrook Prolific local historian Ken James has done it again. This time, in company with three other locally-based writers, Melbourne-based Mr James has penned yet another detailed volume recording a local history of the area – this time Woodbrook. For those who may not already know it, Woodbrook is the locality in the eastern half of the Parish of Walmer, occupying the extended north-south valley of Chinamans Creek. "Woodbrook was initially known as Chinamans Creek from a solitary Chinaman's grave being located there," the factfuelled Mr James says. He has spent the past two years working on the newly-completed A History of
Woodbrook: formerly Chinamans Creek together with local residents Judy Eastwood, Ian Robins and Judy Wardlaw, all three of whom have longstanding family connections to the area dating way back to the 1800s. Among its 291 pages and 15 chapters are factual gems and anecdotes capturing the area's goldrush days, early Euro settlement, movers and shakers and residents of note and Indigenous past. Early agricultural endeavour, notably including the locality's grape-growing and winemaking past, are all among the diverse inclusions. "The early vignerons are a feature of the area," Mr James says. "Three of them exhibited in London and Paris in the 1800s and won prizes here in Australia.
KYNETON
"And one of the chapters contains 255 items of gossip from 1857 to 1937." Chapters range over bushfires, commodity prices, births, deaths, marriages, sports, mishaps and misadventures. "One of the area's early sportspeople of note was Frank Laver, an Australian cricketer who played 15 test matches between 1899 and 1909," Mr James says. While the new volume is his 61st local history volume, it represents a new achievement for other contributors like Muckleford's Judy Eastwood (nee Leversha) who penned the chapters on the Leversha and Walters families. Her own personal interest in them is particularly strong as it was her own Leversha and Walter forebears who both took up land in the area in the 1850s. "Henry Leversha took out Gold Licence

Despite Woodbrook's rich historic fabric, Mr James says the new book is the first local history he is aware of being written on it. "It deserves its own history," he said. All are invited to attend the book's launch on Sunday May 1 at 2pm at the Harcourt Valley Heritage and Tourist Centre. Copies of the new volume will be available for purchase there and will also be available at the Visitor Information Centre in Castlemaine.

Tales of the Lark Force
Sue Bussell had an idea niggling away at the back of her mind for several years: the story about the World War II exploits of her dad, Gordon John Bussell, a member of the 2/22nd Battalion, should be shared. "I wanted my family to have a glimmer of an idea of what our dad and granddad experienced," said Sue, who now lives in Gisborne. Her idea gained further momentum way back around ANZAC Day in 1990 when she saw a notice in a paper about a meeting of her dad's old Battalion. That gave her contact phone numbers and so began her search for stories in earnest. While on her quest for stories and facts about the Battalion, Sue said she had a "light bulb moment". Gordon Bussell had left with his first wife an album of photos of his army and war life and that, after Gordon's death in 1984 was posted to Sue's mother. Sue decided with notes written on the back of some MOUTHGUARD of the photos by her dad, they were perfect for the book. PROMOTION There are photos of Gordon's time at Custom made mouthguards Trawool and Bonegilla in Victoria in 1940 Only $85 through to late 1941 in Rabaul, New Guinea. Only valid until April 30th, 2021 "The album was a complete surprise to 21 Lyttleton St, Castlemaine | Ph 5472 1377 all our family; a wonderful gift his first wife Sheila preserved and passed on," Sue said.

It was also loaned to the Australian War Memorial (in June 2010) in their search for photos of any of the 850 troops who died on the Montevideo Maru, one of the worst World War II disasters for the troops of the 2/22nd.
Sue describes the album as being "a snapshot of the training camps at Trawool, Bonegilla and surrounds; life in Rabaul before the Japanese invasion on January 23, 1942, and also some very spectacular Indigenous people and occasions". "The album is reproduced in its entirety. I have also included a selection of the individual photos of the men of the Lark Force (a name by which the Battalion was also known) with the corresponding writing on the back, most of which was dad’s," she said. Included in the book also are war stories Gordon shared with Sue when she was a young girl in the 1960s while the main body of the book covers the years he was held as a Prisoner of War, initially in Zentsuji, then in Nishi-Ashibetsu. This information was taken from Captain D.C. HutchinsonSmith’s war diary, Guests of the Samurai, as well as from letters to Sue from Padre John May, who was the Chaplain to the 2/22nd. The tragedies of the sinking of the Montevideo Maru with 1053 or so Australians onboard and the Tol Massacre also are included as well as other notes about the Battalion.

D’Arcy a leader
D'Arcy Egberts has an in-depth knowledge of Australian war history beyond her years. Her dedication and leadership skills earned her a place in the Shrine of Remembrance Young Ambassador Leadership Program. The year 10 Sacred Heart College student was among those assisting at Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance ANZAC services on Monday. For the first time, she also had the chance to attend the shrine's dawn service, an experience she'll never forget. "I have been interested in Australian war history for forever," she told the Express. "It's something I am very passionate about and I like to pass on my knowledge to others, which is a big part of what the leadership program is about." Young ambassadors are year nine and 10 students who participate in programs and commemorative services at the shrine. They act as leaders and representatives of future generations at the shrine.
D’Arcy Egberts is part of this year’s Shrine of Remembrance Young Ambassador Leadership Program. A key part of D'Arcy's role is to encourage peers and other young people to understand the importance of remembering and honouring Australia’s service community and military history. D'Arcy, along with fellow young ambassadors, worked alongside the shrine's professional staff and volunteers on Legacy Day (April 6) – a day that recognises family with war history. She will return to assist with various other commemorative services and events throughout the year.

For me being on a bike is like being able to walk ... but faster and a bit more fun. I can’t imagine life without my two-wheeled friend. For many people the freedom and thrill of riding a bike has passed them by as their body or mind can no longer keep up with peddling. That is where Cycling Without Age comes in.Cycling Without Age is a world-wide movement that gives our older or disabled citizens a way to experience bike riding once again. This is done by having comfortable seats in the front of a dutchmade, powered trishaw. Trained volunteer pilots take participants out for a ride without the participant having to do much more than look around and feel the wind in their hair. CycleSafe and The Hub Foundation have a mission to bring this incredible movement to Castlemaine. While the benefits of being out on a bike are huge there are deeper benefits to having otherwise isolated people back out in their community. “The participants once again become a visible presence in their town because they’re up front and in a really interesting bike," pilot volunteer David says. "Conversations and connections happen as a matter of course." Early in 2021, a small group collected by CycleSafe gathered to see what was possible here in Castlemaine. The group named ‘Castlemaine Trishaw’ has been meeting as often as it was able during COVID times and has now managed to set up a ‘show and tell’ event. Cycling Without Age Australia president, Angela Hird, is bringing a trishaw to Castlemaine in May. Come along and check it out and ask us questions on Friday May

The red bricks used for construction in 1870 originated in England, were used as ships ballast for the voyage, and upon arrival in Australia, carted to Taradale. A “penny a week“ school also operated from this site for 30 years, closing in 1910. The final Mass was held in 1956, deconsecration in 1972. Romantic gothic wood doors herald the interior with its soaring timber lined arched ceiling, ten spectacular pointed arch windows, and hardwood polished floors. This property evokes a sense of retreat and calm, a perfect escape from the bustle of modern life. A great space to be creative and admire a building that is testament to time and craftsmanship. Upon entering the church, there is a vestuary with bookshelf, and an impressive original mantle over the wood fire Coonara. Currently used as a large living/dining area, the uses are limited only by your imagination. Via the church you enter the two storey extension offering three

large bedrooms with large walk-in wardrobes, galley kitchen with generous walk-in pantry, two bathrooms featuring leadlight windows, a further fourth bedroom, and a tiled sun-filled north facing conservatory with utility space. The second storey has extensive views over the valley and famous viaduct. From this aspect you can fully appreciate the rambling eco gardens and the privacy they offer. Bound by Roderick, Davy and James streets with a cleared paddock facing the Old Calder Highway there is room for livestock, vineyard, or potential subdivision. The edible forest garden features an abundance of fruit, deciduous and evergreen trees. All grey water recycles back to the garden creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. A large dam is enhanced by its own mineral spring bore. Currently functioning as fully self-contained artist studio with kitchen and bathroom this separate dwelling is ideal as a weekender or bed and breakfast. If you value your privacy and have harboured the thoughts of owning a truly special property in the ever-evolving goldfields region, inspection is sure to impress.

Your new venture begins
Referred to locally as ‘The Lake’ for many years, this 52.6 Hectare (130 acre) property lends itself to a new venture in horticulture, permaculture or viticulture. The enormous dam with an area of approximately 5.2 hectares (13 acres) is fed by wetlands on the western boundary which reinforces the rural idyll of a stunning property teeming with wildlife. This 14-year-old, three bedroom family home has a sunny eastern orientation with a well appointed kitchen which captures the morning sunrise, the zoned living and dining areas are flooded with natural light and open onto a full-length verandah overlooking the shimmering water, as the sun rises and sets over this remarkable property. The home has built-in robes in all bedrooms and there are two bathrooms with a separate laundry/mudroom. Split
system aircon/heating, a cosy wood heater and block out blinds in all rooms are thoughtful extras. Infrastructure includes a 100,000 litre water tank, new machinery shed and a relocated 'school house' portable building and there is of course, mains power to the home. Secluded living is the key here but you’re far from isolated: the Taradale General Store and the Elphinstone Hotel are less than three km in either direction, and Kyneton and Castlemaine are an easy 15 minutes to some of the area’s principal eateries and restaurants and the fast Vline train service. Equidistant between Taradale and Elphinstone with easy access to the Calder Freeway, this unique property will appeal to regional buyers as well as people wanting to make a tree-change to something pretty special. The property
with its flat, well drained terrain and reliable water supply makes it ideal for grapes, apples, stone fruit production and general grazing. Enter via Potts Road and Swifts Lane.

Q:
Q:
The most common question we are asked at the moment is “Do I fix my home loan or leave the loan as a variable loan”?
A:
At the moment 3 year fixed home loan rates are around 4.5%. The variable rates available from a number of banks are below 2% The question is then will variable rates increase significantly above 4.5% over the next 3 years to make it financially worthwhile to fix now for 3 years? Or will I save more on my home loan interest by leaving the rate around 2% and accepting that interest rates will rise sometime in the future? Call us and we can chat to you about the options.

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.

Yes, if you are injured in a transport accident or at work both the TAC and Worksafe Victoria have No Fault schemes. These schemes allow for compensation to be paid to injured people regardless of the circumstances in which the injury occurred.

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 advise that you contact us at Sludgebusters for a free quote as there are many factors that affect the cost of septic tank cleaning including: • Your location, urgency and time frame eg: Late Sunday afternoon or evening • Size of your water treatment plant or septic tank that requires cleaning • Waste water treatment plants are usually more expensive. Expertise and experience is necessary. We are available for emergencies at agreed-upon time and provide our services throughout Central Victoria.

Local businesses and their staff have the chance to attend a workshop next week that aims to help create safe, welcoming and inclusive places for all. The free session, which Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health is hosting online, is part of an event series in the lead up to the International Day Against Homophobia Biphobia Interphobia and Transphobia. IDAHOBIT is celebrated globally on May 17 each year to raise awareness of the discrimination LGBTIQA+ members of the community continue to face. An official flag-raising ceremony will be held at the Kyneton Town Hall on the day at 12pm with flags also being raised at council buildings in Woodend and Gisborne. The Cobaw and Macedon Ranges Shire Council hosted event has been held locally for the past six years and is an opportunity for the whole community to show their support. The workshop will explore the meaning behind the LGBTIQA+ acronym, respectful language and useful terminology and why health services like Sunbury and Cobaw focus on LGBTIQA+ communities. Businesses in the area are also being encouraged to show their solidarity by displaying the rainbow flag and join thousands of organisations, schools and individuals around the world in a display of colour to celebrate the LGBTIQA+ community.

Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health will provide rainbow flags to the first 10 businesses that get in touch. Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health will provide rainbow flags to the first 10 businesses that get in touch. As part of the celebrations, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Goldfields Libraries and Kyneton Community House will be hosting several events in the lead up to IDAHOBIT.
To get your rainbow flag or to participate in the ‘Safe, Welcoming and Affirming Spaces’ workshop, contact the Health Promotion team at Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health on 5421 1666 or email: healthpromotion@scchc.org.au The workshop is on Thursday May 5 from 7pm to 8.30pm.
People in the Macedon Ranges who identify as LGBTIQA+ are being offered the opportunity to 'come and try' various active recreation opportunities or sports for free. The sessions, which will be held during April and May, include yoga, bushwalking, personal training, karate, boxing, combat group fitness, spin and dance-based virtual workout classes. These sessions are being offered as part of the Rainbow-active project. Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s Country LGBTI Inclusion Program leads the project with support from Macedon Ranges Shire Council and the Healthy Heart of Victoria Project. Rainbow-active has a vision for all active recreation clubs, sports clubs and fitness organisations to better connect with the LGBTIQA+ community and provide safe inclusive spaces for everybody. Peta Turnbull, Kyneton Football and Netball Club’s women’s football midfield player and club wellbeing officer, is the Rainbow-active project’s community ambassador. “I love the game and it’s helped my mental and physical health so much,” Peta said. “My team is so welcoming; the girls are awesome and I love that I play in an
environment where I feel included and respected for who I am.” The sessions are being delivered by clubs and organisations that have recently completed training specifically on how to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for LGBTIQA+ community members. The training was delivered by sport inclusion campaigners Proud 2 Play with the goal of creating clubs and fitness organisations that are welcoming and safe for everyone. “We believe that providing community education opportunities to organisations, then running 'come and try' sessions will give everyone the greatest possibility of a new and positive experience,” said Belinda Brain, Rainbow-active project lead. “People are welcome to give a number of the activities a go – book in with a partner or friend if you are a bit nervous and we hope that you’ll find something you really like and want to continue.” To book a session go to: surveymonkey. com/r/rainbowactivecomeandtry For more information about sessions, or if your organisation is interested in taking part in the next Proud 2 Play training planned for the later this month, email healthpromotion@scchc.org.au

will take care of that big event The Stables in Malmsbury must be on your list of places to dine. In a quiet street of town across the road from the Malmsbury Botanic Gardens, The Stables is not only a welcoming place for lunch or dinner Thursday to Sunday (and public holiday Mondays) but the ideal location for that special event – even a classic country wedding. No two functions need be the same at The Stables, proprietor Gina will work with clients to individualise every event. The menu, the decor, in the case of weddings, can all be worked through so a client’s highest expectations are exceeded.
KN264152/K
If you have put that wedding off once – even twice – because of covid, now could be the time to book in at The Stables. Formal seating can cater for up to 100 people and you can put your own special decor in place: tables decorations, helium balloons, decorate however it takes your fancy. And being just across the road from the gardens is perfect. Have your outdoor ceremony there, stay for photographs and then over to The Stables for the reception. Your guest will thank for not having to drive around the countryside and then find parking spaces, there are plenty of these around The Stables. And the venue is wheelchair friendly so nobody is excluded. The Stables is open for functions seven days a week so groups that meet up Monday-Friday can be well taken care of too. Car clubs love the drive to Malmsbury and then take advantage of all the room around The Stables to display their vehicles while they enjoy lunch. Annual dinners, family gatherings, all types of functions can be catered for at The Stables.

Award to Move It
The Loddon Mallee Move It project has won the Local Government Professionals 2022 Active Ageing and Wellbeing Award. Macedon Ranges Shire Council's project was awarded in the 'Outstanding Program or Project – Grant Based (externally funded)' category. “This project helped many of our older residents increase their physical activity levels and subsequently improve their physical and mental wellbeing,” mayor Jennifer Anderson said. During the life of the Loddon Mallee Move It project, physical activity programs were offered in more than 40 locations. While impacted by the pandemic, nearly 2000 people participated in 'come and try' sessions and one-off events, and 1307 joined physical activity programs funded by the project. The project also delivered a regional television and radio campaign highlighting the benefits of physical activity for older people, estimated to have reached around 70,000. An evaluation of the project by LaTrobe University has recorded overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants, who reported marked improvements in their health and wellbeing. The evaluation report will continue to contribute to the evidence base for health promotion interventions that target older people in rural and regional communities. Loddon Mallee Move It was backed with Australian Government’s Sport Australia Move It AUS – Better Ageing funding and overseen by a steering group.

Dental check-ups a must for pets
Did you know that your pet could be carrying a disease and you might not be aware of it? "Dental disease or periodontal is one of the most common diseases seen in small animal practice. It is also one of the most commonly missed by owners, said vet Dr Yvette Berkeley from Castlemaine Veterinary Clinic. Dr Berkeley explained that animals could suffer from periodontal disease without showing any obvious signs. "Bad breath is not normal, and can be an indicator," she said. Periodontal disease usually progresses from gingivitis; though not all patients with gingivitis will go on to develop periodontitis. The primary cause of periodontal disease is the accumulation of dental plaque on the tooth surfaces. "The bacteria that is naturally present in the mouth combines with the saliva and food debris to form a film on the tooth’s surface, known as plaque," Dr Berkeley said. "Tartar is formed by the gradual mineralisation of the dental plaque with salivary calcium. Tartar appears as a hard, brown deposit on the tooth’s surface." Dr Berkeley said gingivitis was the earliest sign of periodontal disease. Symptoms of gingivitis include redness, inflammation and swelling of gums. Gingivitis affects only the gums; it does not destroy the deeper-lying tissue, and is reversible.
Periodontitis may develop in an individual with untreated gingivitis. Periodontitis is not reversible. Clinical signs of periodontitis include the presence of severe bad breath and large amounts of tartar, your pet may be in pain and could have difficulty eating. Bacteria and bacterial products can spread from the initial site of infection to cause distant inflammatory reactions, e.g. in the liver, kidneys and heart. "If diagnosed with dental disease, your pet may require a dental scale under general anaesthetic," Dr Berkeley said. "However, the best cure for the development of dental disease is prevention! Yearly dental check-ups by a veterinarian, usually at the time of vaccination, will help you to monitor your pet’s teeth and identify any underlying problems, especially tartar build up." Diet is an important means of maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Feeding animals what they would typically eat in the wild is a recognised way of minimising or eradicating many of the medical conditions, not just dental, facing pets fed commercially prepared foods. "A nutritious diet including raw meat and bones and fresh foods have an important role in dental health as well as the general health and well being of your pet. Either talk to your vet about this or do your own research. With your help your pet can have healthy teeth and gums throughout their lives."

Dance ‘ya socks off
Expect some quality sound when Castlemaine Sound hosts its Pride edition dance party at Castlemaine's Village square this Friday evening. That's a main message from organiser Casey Rice who knows a thing or two about dispensing dance grooves with satisfying bass. "We're going to be bringing our own sound system so there will be some ample bass going on," Casey foreshadows. Casey's other main message is that, as a launching part of the town's annual Pride festival, this will be an event to which everyone is welcome to get along and dance their socks off. "We've teamed up with the Pride folks and with the council to provide something that's for everyone," Casey says. "It's presented by Castlemaine Sound and the Theatre Royal as our special Pride edition and the great thing is that teenagers will also be able to get along to this one as well. "Our regular shows happen at the Theatre Royal on a monthly basis." Casey describes starting up the queer-friendly, inclusive
event nearly three years ago to provide “space for all people to be able to enjoy choice dance grooves in a loving and supportive environment". “There was nothing even remotely similar when I started,” Casey notes. "And First Nations People are always able to get into our regular shows for free." This Friday's special Pride edition Castlemaine Sound whole-town dance party will be free to attend and will get going from 6pm. It will be alcohol-free and is purposefully intended to create a safe space for young people and families to come together and have a great time. "We're going to be featuring an all-female DJ lineup including DJ Jen Moore, DJ Clam and the SO DJs," Casey says. "It's going to be really fun and super chilled – and if DJ Clam is among the all female DJ lineup getting set it's raining we'll just be shifting across the road into the to dispense some quality sound at this Friday’s pride town hall ... so it's definitely a goer." whole-town dance party at the Village Square. The free inclusive event is just part of a jam-packed The Pride Picnic, Through the Ages Podcast Launch, program that's lined up for Castlemaine Pride that Bent Brushes Art Exhibition, Film Screenings and LGlaunches this Friday and runs through to May 6. BTQIA+ history talk at Northern Arts Hotel and a Trans "We're running a greater number of events and have and Gender Diverse clothing swap are just part of what's more community involvement in Pride than ever before," in store. the Pride organising team's Rani Kerin says.

Halting all progress I think it's well and truly time that we residents of Castlemaine give up on the idea that we will get another supermarket in this town. I cannot recall how long this argument has now been going on and to date it has never progressed past the idea of being just a pipe dream. When towns such as Kyneton and Maryborough, which have smaller populations, are able to have the major brands set up shop, along with major fast food brands, there's obviously something or someone halting any progress in this town.

Thank you for your article 'A bridge too far?' in last week's Midland Express. As an architect and long-time resident of Castlemaine, I find it incredulous that our council not only wants the bridge removed, but wants the owners penalised. Sure, I can see that in the erection of this bridge, correct procedures may not have been followed, but when you consider that the bridge in question has been built over a concrete ramp that has no handrails, and the new bridge helps Ms Thorbeck (one of the owners) who has mobility issues, to move safely from her gate to the roadway, I find it most peculiar that the council has objected at all. When, on my way home from town recently, I spotted the little red bridge, I was delighted to see that someone with some insight had not only provided a better and safer crossing over a deep gutter, but they had also improved the streetscape. The structure is lightweight but looks robust, and to me its design is reminiscent of the Chinese-influenced, willow pattern themes that were first seen on porcelain plates and bowls as long ago as 1780 in England. If we go back to the early1850s, there is evidence of Chinese gold diggers in this area. In fact there is a Chinese cemetery dating back to this time in Vaughan. Perhaps, instead of condemning this structure out of hand, council could invite the owners to make a planning application, and council in turn, could refer the matter of this bridge to its heritage advisor.

Each week I read devastating news that confirms the advancing path of climate warming. I veer between despair and determination. In our region the effects of climate change are evidenced by the diminishing insect count, threatened species, species relocating, hotter average temperatures and climate unpredictability. Our past season of good rainfall has spared us the severe effects of drought, which inevitably will return. I despair at the decisions made by governments that destroy the environment and make people vulnerable to heatwaves, floods and bushfire. We are all diminished by our floundering democracy and the inability of institutions and governments to manage climate change. So, I joined with some wonderful people in the Macedon Ranges to research all 2022 Federal Election candidates and build a website to provide a party-neutral source of advice for people concerned about global warming in all Australian electorates. If you think the climate emergency is an election issue you may be interested in this group – Vote Climate One. We use a Traffic Light Voting System that has already been successful in local government elections to elect councillors willing to act on climate change and other
progressive issues. Australia’s preferential voting system makes this strategy a very powerful tool for use in a federal election. It is a non-partisan guide. Voting for climate will encourage all politicians, regardless of party affiliation to take action on climate change. There is even room for you to have input. See your own electorate. voteclimateone.org.au I urge you to vote for change in this decade.
Don’t ask ‘do you believe?’ Graeme Smith, Woodend I normally try to see everybody’s side to an issue but this is too important to take sides and needs to be called out now. The question should never be "do you believe in climate change?", but rather "do you believe that climate change is ultimately a threat to all life on earth and becoming critically severe for our children’s children and their children and driven mainly by human activity and fossil fuel emissions?" Asking the first question is a cop out for closet climate deniers who don’t have to explain their reasons for sitting on the fence or not seeing the obvious all around them. If you truly believe that about 99 per cent of climatologists have some sort of axe to grind and instead you believe in conspiracy theories, then we must pity you for the character defect you possess if you can’t appreciate that we must limit and then stop emissions starting today, not tomorrow. At best, temperature increase is linear with our copious emissions, but the effect on the planet is logarithmic in that small increases result in ~10 times the chaos we are unleashing on future generations. Ask yourself, are you a climate denier or rather personally challenged to consider how our future is looking, right now, that any reasonable person would understand it is unequivocally catastrophic! Politically we have a choice to consider which road we go down, and it is clear to everyone which parties have a real appreciation of the future disaster we are driving with our greed and apathy, loaded up with true ‘fossil fools’. With exponentially increasing climate change events, there will be no future economy, health, transport, education, employment etc. to worry about, so, if not for yourself, vote thoughtfully today for your children’s children and their children.
The risk is clear Mount Alexander Shire Disability Advocacy Group There have been several near misses at the pedestrian crossing in Mostyn Street, Castlemaine, because the vision is blocked by cars parked in the centre and next to the crossing. The safety risk and near misses are easily solved by removing the car park closest to the crossing, converting it to motorcycle parking or moving the crossing itself further west, closer to the Market Building. Children and people using wheelchairs and scooters are too short to be seen by west-bound traffic and are most at risk. The council’s determination to proceed with a six-month trial to leave the car parks in place and allocate them to small vehicles only adds to the problem by delaying a final decision in the hope that people will be able see through smaller vehicles. MASDAG believes that the line of vision will not be improved by allowing smaller cars to park next to the crossing. We also believe that the idea is flawed because of the confusion it will generate and the need to police the parking offences. The evidence of the risk because of blocked vision is clear, and MASDAG requests that the council reconsider its six-month plan and take immediate action to clear the line of vision at this pedestrian crossing.
Ideally, the council should remove the two car parks nearest the crossing, but at the very least, one car park should be removed.
Highly recommend Patrick McFarland, Campbells Creek In reply to Metcalfe resident, Laurie Nicoll’s advice of how to deal with European wasps in a cheap and environmentally friendly way, I’d like to commend Laurie’s method ('Take the sting out of summer with DIY wasp control'). I used it as he advised and I have to say that it has worked brilliantly. Having encountered being stung by numerous wasps in Melbourne, and hospitalised as a result, I decided to try his method in order to eradicate the wasps on my property. As a result, I was able to capture 40 queens, 67 workers and amazingly enough, only five bees. I must note that a squillion flies were also caught! By the end of this summer, from following Laurie’s instructions, I encountered no European wasps. Compared to last year, this method had eradicated them all. I would highly recommend people try this method. Thanks Laurie!
Trash to treasure: $10,000 ticket in bin After throwing a few suspected non-winning Instant Scratch-Its tickets in the bin, a Castlemaine woman had a feeling she may have missed something, so she retrieved them and discovered she’d won $10,000. The top prize winning $1 Happy Camper Instant Scratch-Its ticket was purchased at Castlemaine Newsagency in Mostyn Street. On Friday morning an official from The Lott reached out to the winner, who was still trying to comprehend her exciting win. “We’d been doing the housework all morning, and we’d just washed the floors, so my husband and I went outside while the floors were drying. While we waited, I scratched the tickets," she said. “I’d scratched all the Instant Scratch-Its tickets and only thought I’d won a few dollars on one of the tickets, so I threw the rest in the bin. “Later, though, I decided to recheck the tickets because I just had this weird feeling, so I grabbed them out of the bin. “I was gobsmacked when I saw the win. I said to my hubby, ‘No way! Oh my god! Am I going mad, or have I just won $10,000?’. “He looked at the ticket and then back at me and said, ‘Wow! Gee, you’re calmer than I’d expect’. “When I told my kids, they said, ‘It’s your shout for the next dinner’. So, we’ll do that to celebrate. “I’d love to go away soon – maybe for a road trip. We might even look at getting a caravan. “When we go away, we usually try to eat in a bit to save some money, but now, we won’t have to. We can eat out wherever we want. “It’s still so overwhelming. I can’t believe it!” Castlemaine Newsagency team member Kate Arnold said the entire team was ecstatic to have made another customer a major prize winner. “How exciting for them,” she said. “We’d love to send our congratulations to our winner. Hopefully, she enjoys it, and we wish her all the best for the future."

He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered, " Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you.

Castlemaine’s Caitlin and Oscar McGregor were among the crowd that filled Victory Park on Friday as part of nation-wide protests d om the e federal government. Eve Lamb L Gas was w on the nose as hundreds of locals gathered in astlema aine's Victory Park on Friday as part of nationwide otests demanding genuine climate action from the federal vernm ment. Many more Castlemaine students and more mature sidents s caught public transport to Melbourne to join the timate ed 5000 people who gathered at Treasury Gardens r a rally y and march organised by SchoolStrike4Climate in sponse e to this month’s federal budget. A sea a of signs called on Prime Minister Scott Morrison d Trea asurer Josh Frydenberg to stop funding gas and stead invest in genuine climate change solutions. In Cas stlemaine speakers included Central Vic Climate tion's Bernard Tonkin who took to the podium urging the owd to o join a new campaign aimed at forcing superannuon fun nds to divest from financing the fossil fuels sector.
"We're encouraging everyone to write to their super funds and tell them to go fossil-free by 2025 or we're going to roll over to a committed fossil-free fund collectively and publicly," Mr Tonkin told the crowd that filled Victory Park. The afternoon rally drew a diverse cross-section of people from the very young to grandparents who turned up with placards displaying slogans like "weapons eapons of mass indifference - our greatest threat" and "Marrs is not an option". Speakers ranged from school children to o Indigenous elder Uncle Rick Nelson to Mount Alexande er Shire Council's climate officer Jodi Newcombe who ou utlined council progress toward achieving net zero emissio ons by 2030 including last week's announced sign-on to o the 46-council strong Victorian Energy Collaboration.

Fourth placing for Fahy
Kyneton's Pat Fahy, representing the Northern District Croquet Association, finished an excellent fourth in Division 3 of the Victorian Croquet Association Golf Croquet Regional Championships played at Cairnlea over the weekend. The competition featured the winners from each region in Victoria playing each other in a round robin format that involved 12 games over the two days. Fahy won eight of his 12 games and finished equal third on games won but was relegated to fourth on hoop differential. Fahy only took up croquet just over a year ago and has shown a rapid rise in skill since then. Before winning the NDCA regional playoffs earlier in the month, Fahy had been third in the Kyneton Croquet Club open singles championship; winner of the club doubles title with Mario Costa; winner of a division 3 handicap doubles competition in Geelong with Damien Hadfield and a member of the Kyneton team that finished second in Division 3 of the NDCA pennant competition.

Jonty wins Mile at Stawell
Gisborne local Jonathan Neethling lined up as the third backmarker in The Little Athletics Junior Mile race at Stawell on Easter Monday. He had 28 athletes to catch to win the race and he did it running a superb tactical race. Neethling took off with 200m to go in the race and was never headed. His reward was a prized sash from one of the world's most famous athletic events the Stawell Gift Carnival. His coach Mark Carey from local running group Toe the Line Athletics said it was the highlight of Johnathan's athletic career so far. "What was even more impressive about the win was that Jonty had six weeks off with a growing problem in his foot in January. We had to break him back slowly," Carey said. "Basically we are taking a conservative approach to his training because his long-term future in the sport is paramount." Young Jonty, as he is known now, will turn his efforts to the cross-country season and build a base for the future athletics achievements.

Saints start on a high
Trentham Saints have started season 2022 on a high, coming home victorious from Carisbrook in their round one Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League clash on Saturday. The senior footballers are on a quest for their first premiership since 1994, notching up a 10-point win over the competition's benchmark for the past five years. Keeping Carisbrook scoreless in the first quarter, the Saints had plenty of opportunities to blow them away early, but inaccuracy in front of goal (3.6) kept their hosts in the game. In a tough contest against a fit and strongly finishing Carisbrook side, Trentham was able to hold on for gutsy 10-point win. Final score 12.8.80 – 11.4.70. Coach Rick Dowling was happy with the effort and pressure applied throughout the game and praised the team on their ability to fight it out, with several players coming off COVID and gastro bouts in the past weeks. Goal kickers: C. Webber-Mirkin 5, Alistair Ferrier J.
Keogh 2, L. Bianco D. Matricardi J. Mighell 1. Best players: C. Webber-Mirkin, R. Matricardi, R. Bourke, J. Dovaston, Z. Gervasoni, J. Cowan. The Reserves also had a good win, starting strong and holding on to win by 19 points after a poor second half. Final score: 12.5.77 – 9.4.58. Goal kickers: J. Murphy 8, J. Cutler T. Matkovic D. Reid H. Sunblom 1. Best players: J. Nadin, J. Murphy, M. Smith, M. Jensen, B. Jensen, J. Cutler. Struggling with numbers Trentham's junior sides fought hard for the day giving it their all however were unable to come away with the four points. The Saints netballers also had a tough day on the court. The A Grade girls knew they had their work cut out for them. With a few senior players missing, new combinations were tried during the day. Sharna Ford and Elly Rose combined well in the goal circle with Brooke Healy strong throughout the court. After a hard-fought four quarters the
final score was 66 to 32 with the Saints going down. The Saints B Grade girls also had a tough day, with a new-look team from last year. Coach Sharna Ford was impressed with Jess Bourke, stepping up from U17s playing a solid game in WA and C, also impressive was Zahlia Turton dominating the goal circle after returning from an ACL injury last year. The Saints' only win on the court for the day was the C Grade girls, with the score at the final whistle 33 to 46. Mez Thompson and Kasey Evans played well. The Under 17 girls come a draw at 11 all and the undermanned Under 13 and 15s teams combined for the week and suffered a big loss. After the 2021 season was unfortunately cancelled due to COVID it was great to see all teams back out playing community sport after a tough few years. The Saints play at home next weekend taking on Newstead. If you have a junior footballer or netballer keen to join the Saints please visit the club Facebook group for contact details.
Redbacks have work to do Bill West
Overall Romsey played just 50 minutes of solid football to defeat Western Rams by 66 points on Saturday, coach Paul Kennedy said after the match. While the coach, and Redbacks’ supporters, could be pleased with the second half, they were not thrilled with what they saw in the first half as the Rams showed plenty of ability and tenacity to restrict scoring and keep the home side under pressure. “There’s a lot of work to do,” Kennedy said, hinting strongly there was
scope for more intensive practise this week in the lead-up to the big match against Diggers Rest. Captain Nathan Blair was ultraconsistent, and more space in the forward line, with Jack Jedwab contributing five goals, made supporters happier. Romsey 2.3, 4.6,11.9, 14.12 (96) d Western Rams 1.2, 3.3, 4.3, .6 (30). Goals (Rom) – J. Jedwab 5, D. Walsh 3, J. Carroll, C. Pertzel 2, N. Blair, N. Hoy. Best – Blair, M. Tinkler, Jedwab, Walsh, Pertzel, M. Adamson. In the only other senior match
in the RDFNL on Saturday, Wallan thrashed Melton Centrals 29.14 (188) to 4.7 (31). Ace forward Matt Perri kicked 10 goals, and elusive Corey Grindlay eight in a tune up for this weekend’s clash with unbeaten Riddell.

Kyneton galloper Helvetian took his stake earnings over the $100,000 mark with a comfortable win at Kilmore last Thursday. It was also trainer Charles Cassar’s 99th career win, and he’s hoping the century mark is not far away. The six-year-old started as a $6.50 chance in a small field, and always travelled like a winner for apprentice Hannah Edgley on a track rated heavy. Holding the inside running throughout, Helvetian surged to the front near the 200-metre mark and won the 1200m Goddess Of Pop Cher Tribute Show BM58 race by a length and a half. It was Helvetian’s fifth win from 38 starts.

Romsey Oval 2 was bathed in sunshine, the smell of coffee and eggs and bacon drifted across the pitch and four Macedon Rangers Soccer Club teams were playing at home. Rangers welcomed teams George Cross, Keilor Wolves, Barnstoneworth United and Satellite City to the shire and without a doubt a morning of football was the priority for everyone. The club's under 9s had a fabulous win to kick off the season and a first for them – confidence at an all-time high. This was backed up by the Under 11s boys. The girls showed that 2022 will be their year and the Under 13s showed a fighting spirit that was not reflected on the scoreboard. Many thanks to Josef who stepped in to referee and Justin for running the line.

‘Most courageous’ winners Bill West
The presentation of ‘most courageous’ medals culminated ANZAC Day football and netball at Macedon’s Tony Clarke Reserve. Sally Brennan presented the McDougall Medal to Anica Scherer, and the Grumont Medal presented by Ross Grumont went to big ruckman Sean Egan. The medals honour members of two local families who valiantly served their country. The two Diggers Rest players were pleased to be judged ‘most courageous’ on a day that Macedon Football Netball Club’s former president, Dominic Andreacchi, instigated some years ago along the lines of the Collingwood versus Essendon AFL match on ANZAC Day. Initially it was Macedon versus Rupertswood, but the latter has left the RDFNL and Diggers Rest pleased to fill the gap. “This has really been a fantastic day of sport,” Macedon FNC president Andrew Dick stated, thanking everyone who had ‘put in’ to ensure the commemorative day was so successful. Before the senior match both teams lined up on the oval, along with various officials and dignitaries, for a short ANZAC Day service, with Frank Donovan OAM the master of ceremonies. Among those present was Alan MitchellLappin from the Commando Welfare Trust. A gallantry award recipient who served in Afghanistan, he was also involved in the traditional Dawn Service at the Mount Macedon earlier in the day. Captains of both teams laid wreaths at the base of the flagpole, and singers from Macedon Primary School participated before the National Anthem. The senior football match began at a crack-

In a high-scoring contest in ideal conditions, unbeaten Diggers Rest maintained the advantage and ended up winning 17.9 (111) to 13.10 (88). Lachlan Ronaldson was unstoppable with eight goals for the visitors, and Mitch Jensen continued his immaculate early season form. Best for Macedon were Declan Phyland, Brodie Hoyne, Pat Doyle, Dylan Johnstone,
Jordan Dyer, and Jack Keenan, who kicked four goals. Reserves: Diggers Rest 9.13 (67) d Macedon 1.1. Under 18s: Wallan 11.12 (78) d Macedon 7.5 (47). Macedon won the A-grade netball by 10 goals to remain unbeaten. # Final reminder: Macedon FNC’s big raffle with prizes of two cars supplied by Kyneton Toyota will be drawn this weekend.

Easy win Gisborne women’s division one team had a very easy win over Airport West in their match on Saturday evening. The Bulldogs delighted fans with a 16.22 (118) to 1.1 (7) margin. The home side had 12 individual goalkickers, and gained a big boost in confidence for games ahead.

Game of two halves
Gisborne supreme
Young, strong and versatile, Gisborne’s Sam Graham continued his good form, scoring plenty of possessions and two goals for the home side. Gisborne senior footballers reigned supreme at Gardiner Reserve on Saturday, demolishing Castlemaine by a mammoth 223 points. After the Magpies' 52-point victory over Maryborough in the previous round, the talented Bulldogs were prepared for some strong opposition. To Castlemaine’s credit, players battled hard and kept up their efforts in the face of a scoring blitz by the home side. Ace forward Pat McKenna led the way with 14 goals, and Brad Bernacki continued his superb early season form. Brendan Josey and Liam Wilkinson were prominent for the Magpies, who trailed by 97 points at the long break.
The Bulldogs did not relent, and spectators were interested to see if the Magpies could score a goal, but it did not eventuate. This Saturday, Gisborne make the long trip to Maryborough for what should be another big victory, while the Magpies will regroup for the home match against Strathfieldsaye. Unfortunately Castlemaine, which like several other clubs has been hit by COVID, could not field enough players to enable the scheduled Reserves match to go ahead. Match details were: Gisborne 8.6, 14.14, 23.18, 34.21 (225) d Castlemaine 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2 (2). Goals (G) – P. McKenna 14, J. Scanlon
4, S. Walsh 3, B. Eales, M. McDonald, S. Graham 2, J. Fox, M. Merrett, H. Manders, J. Reaper, B. Bernacki, E. Foreman, M. Pannucio. Best – Bernacki, McKenna, S. Bell-Bartels, Graham, Scanlon, Fox. Best (C) – B. Josey, L. Wilkinson, D. Slingo, R. Pedretti, A. Mayes, C. McConachy. THIS SATURDAY Fourth round Bendigo League matches this Saturday are: Kyneton v South Bendigo. Castlemaine v Strathfieldsaye. Maryborough v Gisborne. Sandhurst v Kangaroo Flat. Eaglehawk v Golden Square.
Kyneton senior footballers matched their Strathfieldsaye opposition in the first half on Saturday, then found themselves worn down in the second half. Storm eventually won by 46 points and look to be finals contenders again. The Tigers showed plenty of intensity and caused the home side problems in the first two quarters, with spectators keen to see what was to unfold. Storm players regrouped, and applied plenty of pressure with a five goals to two third term, followed up by a six goals to three last quarter. The home side had plenty of avenues to goals, while the Tigers had Rhys Magin contributing five. Mitch Comben won plenty of possessions and gave the Tigers drive, but greater depth and experience ensured the Storm prevailed. Match details: Strathfieldsaye 5.0, 7.3, 12.8, 18.15 (123) d Kyneton 3.4, 46.7, 8.9, 11.11 (77). Goals (K) – R. Magin 5, Comben 2, D. Bartrop, B. McGee, H. Yungmanns, G. Dickson. Best – Comben, F. Driscoll, Bartrop, McGee, H. Huntley, M. Crozier, Magin. In the Reserves, Strathfieldsaye 5.13 (43) d Kyneton 4.6 (30. Jacob Plowman kicked three goals, and Daniel Yarwood was listed as the best player. Storm 10.11 (71) d Kyneton 1.4 (10) in the Under 18s. Sam Pyers turned in a fine game, and sole goal for Kyneton came from Cormac Sutton. The Tigers are at home to South Bendigo this Saturday.
