Macedon Ranges Agriculture Alliance chairperson, James Walsh, and Victorian Farmers Federation general manager of policy, Charles Everist, are pictured at Mr Walsh's Pipers Creek farm.
Farmers push for strategy rethink Existing use rights would enable farming to continue under a rezoning but would expire after two years of inactivity and only apply to current activities. "That's not a way to run a primary production business. It removes your right to farm in the way you want to farm," Mr Walsh said. Mr Walsh is the chair of a newly formed Macedon Ranges Agriculture Alliance fighting for farmland protection. The alliance has about 25 members all challenging the Draft Rural Land Use Strategy in its current form. Last week the Victorian Farmers Federation confirmed it backed the alliance's position, concerned for the consequences on farm businesses. VFF general manager of policy, Charles Everist, said VFF would be advocating with farmers to council that "they've got this wrong and need to have a rethink". A Romsey resident himself, Mr Everist said farmers across the state were concerned about freedoms of Mace-
don Ranges farmers being taken away. "They're also concerned about any precedent that might be set here for councils in other parts of the state to turn around and take away freedoms from farmers to do the important job they do," he said. "This community needs to ensure that agriculture is an attractive proposition for people to come into our region and invest, because if we lose that investment that will have an impact on the broader economy locally as well." The council says the aim of the strategy is to develop a vision for land currently in the Farm and Rural Conservation zones, and identify important value and features of rural land to be protected and enhanced. It also aims to respond to changes in land use that have occurred over the past 20 years and identify mechanisms to foster best practice land management. The council has received just over 170 submissions to its consultation process.

Farmers have united in a bid for a fairer deal in Macedon Ranges Shire Council's Draft Rural Land Use Strategy. The strategy proposes rezoning pockets of Farm Zone land would restrict primary producers who wish to diversify away from or change their agricultural focus. "If we're rezoned here, I would need permits for machinery sheds, hay sheds and infrastructure that in the Farm Zone I have a right to build," he told the Express. "If we had a foot and mouth outbreak, and the cattle and sheep industry fell over and disappeared overnight, I'd have no stock, no way of generating an income. If I had to turn to intensive horticulture to meet my financial obligations, I'd have to go to the council and ask for permission and a permit. They could very well say no. "This gives me absolutely no certainty in my capability to run the primary production business. In its current form, the strategy is just not fair."

Resilience group tackles emissions A survey conducted by Castlemaine's West End Resilience group indicates a high level of enthusiasm for communitybased energy solutions towards reducing carbon emissions. Members of the home-grown energy group say they're are now looking into sustainable energy solutions that are accessible for all West Enders including tenants, home-owners and businesses, and also community initiatives including battery storage. "To guide this work, we conducted a short neighbourhood survey to gather the views of the whole West End community on local energy generation, efficiency and storage," the group's Ilka White says. The survey was conducted late last year and earlier this year with Castlemaine's Bridge Hotel sponsoring a survey
participation prize. The Bridge's Pat Furze is now looking to install solar panels on the pub’s roof in a process he expects to be completed by this time next year. "We received 120 responses to the survey, representing around 20 per cent of West End households," Ilka says. "Some of the survey results were surprising in lovely ways. "For example, when asked what the greatest value of neighbourhood-scale energy solutions would be, the top three responses were reducing carbon emissions, working together for a positive outcome for the community, and supporting more vulnerable members of the community. "People indicated that we (WER) could be a conduit for information on renewable technology and financial incentives and link people with other groups involved in

energy transitions at the household level. "There was also strong support for a community battery and working to remove legislative constraints on new ways to transition." Resident Hywel Stoakes was the lucky winner of the Bridge Hotel prize, a $100 voucher to enjoy at the venue which is supportive of WER's work. "I really welcomed the opportunity to participate in the survey and I'm keen to learn more about the group’s activities," Hywel said. Ilka says the group is now preparing to host a household energy saving workshop at the West End Hall later this month. It's also exploring neighbourhood battery options and collating resources for a web page to help locals who are keen to reduce their energy bill and their carbon footprint into the bargain.

Council news
How can an environmentally conscious resident reduce their single-use plastic uptake even more? That's a question facing Macedon Ranges mayor Jennifer Anderson this month as she tackles her own challenge for Plastic Free July. The Australian-born initiative is a global movement that encourages people to reduce their plastic use to lessen their environmental impact. This year Cr Anderson aims to reduce her household single-use soft plastic to 200 grams for the month. "I'm being optimistic but I think it's important to try something," she told the Express. "I find the challenge harder every year because each year I keep contributing to less plastic." Mayor Anderson has been weighing her soft plastics each month for the past year to monitor her progress. She has managed to reduce that weight to about 330 grams some months but about 500 grams is her average. Over the next month, Cr Anderson will pay even closer attention to areas where she can improve. "Some of last year's plastics that I have reduced include tofu in plastic bags and purchase it in hard plastic instead so I can
reuse the plastic. Also, less pizza bases and roti," she said. Shopping locally and sustainably are definitely considerations when it comes to her weekly food shop. "The local markets are great especially if you manage your bags and reusable containers," Cr Anderson said. "At Woodend Farmers Market, now I purchase Rafael’s Coffee via giving him my containers to refill each month. His bags are also now compostable. "I source my honey from a local beekeeper who refills my empty containers to save on packaging." Cr Anderson purchases items like fruit, nuts, rice and grains through Richmix Foods, which delivers goods in either paper or cloth bags. Some areas that could present a challenge include pet food, face masks and convenience foods. "The important thing is to just really think about the plastics you use and don't feel guilty about it but think about how you can do it differently. Every effort counts," Cr Anderson said. The Express will have regular updates on the mayor's challenge throughout the month so readers can gain tips along the way.

Tragedy commemorated Amy Hume The memory of two prisoners of war with Kyneton family have been honoured in the 80th anniversary of their tragic deaths. Civilian Harry Darley Holland and Sydney McGregor, Private 2/22nd Battalion, were among those to perish on board the unmarked Japanese transport freighter SS Montevideo Maru. The freighter was torpedoed on July 1, 1942, off the coast of Luzon Island, in the Philippines, by the American submarine USS Sturgeon. Its attackers were unaware it was carrying allied prisoners. Following the fall of Rabaul, New Guinea, Japanese invasion saw soldiers of the 2/22nd Battalion and civilians held prisoner. There were about 1051 mostly Australian soldiers and civilians on board being transported to Hainan, off southern China. All prisoners on board died. Deaths on the Montevideo Maru were not fully revealed in Australia until after the end of the war. Kyneton branch of the Country Women's Association held a ceremony to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the tragedy. Harry's great nephew Rob Hamilton and Sydney's daughter Helen Forsyth shared their family stories and laid wreaths at the Kyneton cenotaph last Friday. Sydney McGregor, Private, 2/22nd Battalion Private Sydney McGregor, 2/22 Battalion, of McKinnon, enlisted in June, 1940, and served in New Britain. Sydney was the youngest of nine children and felt it was his duty to serve as his brothers had done so in WWI. His daughter Helen was just four years old when he left. With six weeks training he embarked to New Guinea. He was an accountant before army service and was described as "a very gentle, quiet man". Helen said her mother constantly told her stories about her father, hoping they would soon reunite. The family received many letters home but these began to dwindle as Japanese troops invaded. Her mother then learnt Sydney had become a prisoner of war and went for months with no news. One letter followed before they stopped altogether. "Although she never received any more mail she held firmly to the belief that he was still alive and that belief never wavered in that time," Helen said. Helen recalled in 2012 Japan finally released a list of those on board the SS Montevideo Maru. At this time the Australian
Rob Hamilton and Helen Forsyth shared stories of family members who lost their lives in the SS Montevideo Maru tragedy. Government unveiled a memorial to those who went down on the SS Montevideo Maru. Harry Darley Holland, civilian Harry was born 1893 at Clifton Hill and enlisted in the AIF in Melbourne in September 1914. He was allocated to the 8th Light Horse Battalion in machine gun section as a Private. He became a provisional Lance Cpl within three months. Harry served in Gallipoli but was wounded in his left eye at Walkers Ridge after just 10 days. His eye had to be removed and he was discharged as medically unfit in December 1915. He moved to the Territory of New Guinea around 1919 and went on to marry and had two children. Harry was a radio station manager and part of the civilian coastal watch at the time of the Japanese invasion.

There has been an increase in incidents of livestock being mauled by unsecured dogs in the Lancefield, Cobaw and Carlsruhe areas, police have warned. "For many property owners, this is their livelihood, and they lose a significant amount of money every time this happens, not to mention the suffering of the animals during these attacks," police said in a statement to the community. Last week police called on residents to be vigilant with their animals, make sure they’re secured, and microchipped. "Victoria Police and the Macedon Ranges Shire Council will be taking this very seriously. If owners are found to be negligent they will be charged," police warned. If anyone has any information regarding recent attacks, call Crime Stoppers on: 1800 333 000.

1st Riddells Creek Scout Group hosted some of the cast and crew for the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man.
Williams biopic filmed in Ranges
It was lights, camera, action in Macedon Ranges last month as filming got under way for Robbie Williams' biopic Better Man. Directed and co-written by Melbourne-born Michael Gracey, Better Man will offer an introspective look into the experiences that shaped the popular UK entertainer. The film follows Williams' journey from working-class roots to stadium-filling stardom, and the demons he battled on and off stage. Last month filming took place in the Macedon Ranges area for what is set to become one of the largest films to be shot in Victoria. Locations revealed so far include Monegeetta's circa 1882 signature Italianate mansion Mintaro, and the former Sunbury asylum. The production and film crew transformed 1st Riddells Creek Scout Group's hall into a dressing room with makeup booths, changerooms and costumes fit for 100 cast members. "Outside was the main base, with over 100 cars, the big production caravans and all the glam of Hollywood," group leader and district commissioner Andrew Smyth said. "Joeys and scouts were on the look out for celebrities but there no sightings of Robbie Williams or his helicopter." Williams did however take to the stage at Rod Laver Arena to recreate some his most iconic performances for the $100 million feature. Director Gracey, who was also an executive producer on the Elton John biopic Rocketman, said to tell Williams’ beautiful, distinct story, back home, was a dream come true. Better Man was attracted to Melbourne and surrounds through VicScreen’s Victorian Screen Incentive. It is filming alongside NBC’s hit sci-fi series La Brea, which has returned to Victoria for its much-anticipated second season.

Annual Plan adopted
Hepburn Shire Council formally adopted its 2022/23 Annual Plan at last week's meeting. Mayor, Cr Tim Drylie, said that the Annual Plan was based on key projects identified in the Budget 2022-2023 and included priorities in the adopted Community Vision 2021-2031 Council Plan 2021-2025, which included the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan. The Annual Plan priority projects are all linked to one of the five Council Plan focus areas being: • A resilient, sustainable and protected environment • A healthy, supported and empowered community • Embracing our past and planning for our future • Diverse economy and opportunities • A dynamic and responsive council. “The Annual Plan highlights priority projects that are either large, new, significant or strategically important to our community and truly reflects the priorities that our community told us they want council to deliver,” Cr Drylie said. Progress on the Annual plan will be regularly reported throughout the year and published on council’s website at www.hepburn.vic.gov.au/Council/Plans-and-publications/Performance.

New picnic benches, tables, planter boxes and streetside seating are all set to be installed in Castlemaine in coming weeks under a new revitalisation project. Mount Alexander Shire Council, in partnership with the Castlemaine and Newstead Men’s Sheds and the Salvage Yard, is currently revitalising selected outdoor areas in two projects that aim to support local business to expand their outdoor spaces for trading. As part of the process street furniture in the Castlemaine CBD will be undergoing maintenance. The Castlemaine Men’s Shed will be cleaning, sanding, painting and repairing one bench at a time. This means that some of the furniture will be temporarily relocated while works take place and will be returned when they are complete, a council spokesperson said. “Our local businesses have been hit hard by the COVID-19 restrictions so it’s great to be able to support them through this project,” said Merryn Tinkler, council’s manager of economy and culture. “We know that not every business has an outdoor area, so we’re glad to be able to continue to make space for people
to gather in a safe environment on our streets. “We’re excited to be collaborating with local groups and businesses, and we’re proud of the resilience our community has shown over the last two years.” As part of the work, the Newstead Men’s Shed and the Salvage Yard will also be busy adding colour to local streets by installing planter boxes, seats, picnic tables and benches throughout the shire. The semi-permanent furniture will be available to both the public and patrons of local businesses, and will be available for use in different spaces in the future. The semi-permanent furniture installations are in response to direct requests from local businesses who required assistance trading outdoors following the COVID-19 restrictions. Both projects are part of the second stage in council’s Making Space initiative that began in 2021, and has included projects like the Village Square in Castlemaine, the revitalisation of Maldon’s Old Bank Corner and street furniture across the shire. The projects have made possible through funding from the Victorian Government’s COVIDSafe Outdoor Activation Fund.

Coliban Water customers will notice an increase of about three per cent to their water bills for the 2022/23 financial year as the water authority works to cater for the region’s growing population and changing climate. As a customer-funded business, changes to fees and charges from July 1 will go directly towards a necessary investment in infrastructure. Managing director Damian Wells said the increases were still well below inflation. “Our prices have been steady or decreasing for several years now. Our built structures, some dating back to the goldrush, are ageing and a major program of upgrades and renewal must be funded and delivered in a way that allows us to prepare for tomorrow, while being fair to customers today,” Mr Wells said. “We have engaged with residential and business customers, community groups and other stakeholders, to ensure our new pricing plan for 2023 to 2028 continues to reflect community expectations, while allowing us to upgrade and renew our infrastructure to meet the needs of our growing region. “The ESC’s role as a water industry regulator is to review our price submission every five-years to ensure pricing, service levels and works programs are justified, and costs and charges are fair." Mr Wells said feedback from customers and the community showed that Coliban Water's focus on climate resilience, water security, complying with regulations, and catering for population growth was some-

Castlemaine's botanical gardens have a new feature ... and if you think you've seen it somewhere else before then you're spot on. Ever since it was created back in 2009 by local artist Zoe Amor, the striking bronze sculpture, Dusk, has graced the portico at the front of Castlemaine Art Museum in Lyttleton Street. But with the museum now to undergo significant renovation works as part of its master plan redevelopment project, the eye-catching piece has now been loaned to Mount Alexander Shire Council, which last week had it duly installed in the leafy surrounds of the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens. Carefully lowered by crane onto its specially made Harcourt granite plinth, positioned just north of the children's playground area, Dusk immediately looked right at home in its new showcase surrounds. "It means a huge amount on so many levels," Amor said as she watched the relocation process alongside stonemason David Pratt who made the plinth on which Dusk rests, and caster Craig MacDonald who was responsible for casting the work that was commissioned back in 2009 by Cherry Tennant in honour of artist and poet Frank Mau 1925 – 2007. "It's been five years in the process from the time it (the relocation) was first discussed," Chewton-based Amor told the Express as she watched the sculpture settle into its new home where it's now expected to remain for at least the next five years. The council's cultural development officer Vicki Anderson said the long-term loan was expected to be for five to 10 years. "It's long been on the back burner as an opportunity for the community enjoy a public artwork in the garden," she said. Mount Alexander Shire team leader for the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens and urban horticulture, Sandra Hodge, said being able to showcase Dusk in the gardens was "a real honour". "It's a long-term loan and a wonderful gift for our visitors," she said.

New trees take root
Riddells Creek nature strips are set for a spruce up with about 400 new trees to planted. Macedon Ranges Shire Council's acting director of assets and operations, Colin Marshall, said the street-tree planting program would run until September. “The Macedon Ranges is renowned for its treelined streets and avenues, which form an integral part of the shire’s appeal," he said. "We’re fortunate to have a variety of microclimates across the shire, with varying rainfall and temperature, which allow for a diverse range of trees to be grown. “The benefits of street trees include shade for pedestrians, increased property values, noise and pollution absorption, improved mental health and reduced rainfall runoff." Riddells Creek residents in the areas where street-tree planting is to take place will be notified of works via post. The stakes used in the planting program were up-cycled from the trees felled by the June 2021 storm.

Cart carpenters wanted Kyneton resident Paul Strang has put out a call for helping hands to restore an old baker's cart of great sentimental value to the community. The cart has had its home at Lady Brooks Kindergarten for many decades and generations of kids have played on it. Paul has been offered supplies from Home Hardware to restore the cart but needs a little help with woodwork repairs. "The significance of the cart is that it was given to the shire by Mr Taylor, who delivered bread around town in his horse-drawn cart," Paul said. "When his horse Snowy died, he gave it to the shire and it was kept at the kinder for decades. "My kids have climbed all over it, and so have countless other kids over the years." A few years back the cart fell into disrepair and was no longer safe to play on, so Paul gathered a group of locals to fix it back up so it could be kept on display in the front yard of the kinder. Since then weather has worn the cart out once more. "With the relocating of the Lady Brooks Kinder up to Edgecombe Street, the shire contacted me and asked me if I would like to fix the cart up and restore it," Paul said.

Bust unveiled Lisa Dennis
A huge crowd gathered at the Castlemaine Town Hall on Sunday to witness the unveiling of a bronze bust to celebrate the life and achievements of the late Felix Cappy OAM. Felix was born and bred in Castlemaine and devoted his life to community service, charitable work and preserving the town's history. Felix is credited with helping to save many of the region's unique heritage buildings, including the former Court House in Goldsmith Crescent now home to the Castlemaine Historical Society Inc, the Chewton Town Hall, which was to be demolished to straighten the highway through the township, the Guildford Music Hall and Duke of Cornwall Battery House. Felix was also chairman of the committee that led the restoration of Castlemaine's iconic Market Building. He was on a raft of organisations and committees and helped support a range of events from live music at the Castlemaine Theatre Royal to the creation of the Castlemaine State Festival. He also worked hard to raise funds for upgrades at the Castlemaine Art Museum (former Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum) and Castlemaine Hospital and assisted with various appeals such as the Tsunami Fundraiser at the Theatre Royal. Sunday's proceedings were opened by Master of Ceremonies, Felix's brother Vin Cappy, who gave an acknowledgement of country and also acknowledged the ancestors of all those present, many of whom had come to Australia and Castlemaine seeking opportunity and a better life. He then welcomed the president of the Castlemaine Pioneers and Old Residents

Association, Russell Sheehan, who shared some of his memories of working with Felix on various committees including former local professionals service club the Jay Cees and the Pioneers and Old Residents Association. Mr Sheehan acknowledged that while many would like to see the bust go on permanent display in the Castlemaine Market Building, the association was honoured to be able to place the bust on permanent display at the Pioneers and Old Resident Association headquarters at the Old Telegraph Station in Barker Street. Following several speakers, the audience was treated to a musical interlude by Felix's brothers talented musician Bernie Cappy (piano), Vin Cappy (drums) and brother-in-law Terry McShanag (vocals). Felix's daughter Clare and granddaughter Zoe then had the honour of unveiling the bust, which was created by local artist Catherine Tait and cast in bronze by local artisan Phil Mune. As the ceremony wound up Felix himself had the final word with Ian Braybrook sharing an excerpt from their final interview recorded just a few weeks before he passed in 2011. In the recording a humble Felix admitted he was fighting his greatest battle yet. He stated that he had always strived to do his best for his community where he could and was proud to work with various community members on a range of committees and causes. On his OAM, Felix said "To receive any general recognition is first of all a surprise, but indeed very humbling that your peers should seek to recognise that you've done works and projects that they consider worthy of recognition". "It is a great thrill, a great honour," he said.

Rebecca Moore recently relaunched her tea brand with new packaging, website, online shop and whole new look.
Unique to a tea Amy Hume
Kyneton business owner Rebecca Moore says her local Australia Post team had been friendly faces during the pandemic when she made the move to post online orders. Now they've hailed her a 2022 Australia Post Local Business Hero, recognising her unique and valued connection to the local community. "The continuing support and caring attitude at my local post office under such stressful circumstances pushed me to keep going when many income streams of my business disappeared," Rebecca said. When the pandemic hit, Rebecca had to take her business online and recently relaunched her tea brand with new packaging, website, online shop and whole new look. "The local community has continued to support local business and with tourism from Melbourne increasing, things are looking up," she told the Express. "I have noticed with consumers that purchasing Australian-owned and made
is becoming an important factor when making a purchase. It’s great to see Australian-owned small businesses being supported!" Tea of Earth was selected as one of 57 local Australia Post business heroes from nearly 1000 entries. Kyneton residents will see Tea of Earth featured in a marketing campaign at their local post office as part of a prize package worth up $5000. Rebecca will also receive personalised sending offers and access to business coaching through Small Business Australia. Rebecca launched her brand in 2016, after working for more than a decade with other tea companies. "Tea of Earth started off at markets, now we have multiple income streams through wholesale, retail and teaching tea classes. We also have a online store," she said. Tea of Earth now offers 20 unique tea blends. The most popular being the award-winning Kyneton Breakfast and Gingerbread Rooibos. People can purchase the teas online and from several retailers in the Macedon Ranges and Australia wide.

Your OPINIONS
Not all are so lucky Samantha Gunning, current Macedon Ranges resident Re: Dogs should not be leashed. Irene, your piece seems to resonate the idea that having dogs off-leash is a right, rather than a privilege. However, I feel that it is much the opposite. To have always had dogs that you can walk off-leash without worry is in fact a huge privilege – congratulations on your well-trained canines. Not all owners are so lucky. Many people have antisocial, nervous, or reactive dogs; or dogs that have hunting instincts who may become locked onto a target at any given moment – all of which are often due to past trauma or simply the dog’s breed or nature, not just “the fault of the owner and their inadequacy”, as you seem to suggest. Dogs with these traits often end up panicking or reacting on instinct, sending themselves into traffic, other dogs and people who do not appreciate being approached, or cats and wildlife who wouldn’t stand a chance against a dog that is on the chase. A leash can be the difference between life and death. You are the minority, and we cannot have overarching rules that service only a small group within the community. Having dogs leashed is the best outcome for the vast majority of people and animals. To say that it should be the “people who have not properly trained and socialised their dogs who should be given special, restricted walking areas”, would be a disservice to most of the community, as well as an unjust disadvantage to those who cannot help their dogs’ nature. I’m glad you and your dogs are enjoying a better fit in WA. Perhaps the Ranges could do with some dog parks, but you will find that many animal behaviour experts do not agree with these spaces, as they can be restrictive, stressful areas for anxious,

snappy and antisocial dogs (which many times the owners do not realise until an incident occurs and it is too late). It is not exactly right to say that “all of the scientific research” points favourably towards all dogs roaming free.

More cost increases Peter Walsh, Leader of The Nationals Bill shock and skyrocketing costs of fuel, groceries, power and gas are driving a new level of financial anxiety for families and small business trying to recover from the pressures of the pandemic. But there’s more pain to come with the Labor Government set to increase more than 2150 state fees and charges from July 1. It’ll mean more cost increases in our everyday lives at a time when many of us can least afford it, with hikes to apply on licences to drive or hunt, for planning applications and on building permits. Under the Labor Government, we’re already carrying the burden of 40 new and increased taxes – despite the Premier’s ‘iron-clad’ promise of “no new taxes” before the 2018 Election. Since 2013-14, Victorian tax revenue
has increased by an eye-watering 80 per cent from $16.9 billion to a forecast $30.5 billion in 2022-23. Labor is addicted to taxes and charges. Their mismanagement and waste on major projects – now more than $28 billion – is forcing Daniel Andrews and his treasurer Tim Pallas to grab revenue from everywhere they can. Our children, and our children’s children, shouldn’t have to pay the price of Daniel Andrews’ inability to manage our state’s budget.

It's so easy to be involved and it will help you reach goals for reducing plastics and reduce your environmental impact. The goal doesn't even have to big! I for one am just trying to cut down on my waste when making weekly grocery purchases. I know this month I am going to be paying more attention not only to the amount of plastic on each item but also to food miles, company policies and local businesses I can support that are doing great things for the environment. Plastic Free July is here – let's be part of the solution! Writers are asked to keep letters to a maximum of 300 words. Longer letters may only be published at the editor's discretion.

18 to 25-year-olds, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, Aboriginal Victorians, people with disability, and those facing long-term unemployment. Jobs Victoria is partnering with the Accommodation Association of Australia to attract more people to the industry and build the available pool of trained workers by mid-2023. Food and beverage attendant Gaston Silva had been unemployed for 18 months before completing the AAOA training program and securing work in the hospitality industry. He now has his sights set on becoming a venue manager. Participants will receive paid, pre-employment hospitality and accommodation training. They will also get a ‘workplace buddy’ and access to other services so they can start their new career on the right foot. This program is an innovative partnership supported by the $250 million Jobs Victoria Fund. Jobs Victoria supports people looking for work and connects employers with the staff they need. It provides information, advice, and support in person, on the phone, and via the Jobs Victoria online hub. For more information about the Accommodation Jobs initiative visit jobs.vic.gov.au or call the Jobs Victoria hotline on 1300 208 575.

The state government is supporting Victoria’s accommodation and hospitality industry to bounce back and create more jobs, as the state continues to welcome more domestic and international visitors. Minister for Industry Support, Recovery and Business Precincts Ben Carroll has announced $5.6 million for a new Jobs Victoria initiative, which will support the tourism and hospitality sector to create 320 roles, offering jobseekers paid training and at least 12 months of secure employment. As a result of the pandemic, hotels and hospitality businesses have faced challenges with workforce shortages. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ June data, 51 per cent of accommodation and food service businesses across the country reported having difficulty finding suitable staff. The Accommodation Jobs initiative will create roles in housekeeping, preparation of food and beverages, events and other accommodation services across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. Positions will prioritise groups traditionally more vulnerable to unemployment or insecure work, like women aged 45 and over,

Prioritise vehicle safety The concerning number of Victorians dying in older vehicles has prompted a plea for people in the market for a car to do their research and put safety first. New figures from the Transport Accident Commission show around two thirds of drivers and passengers killed on Victorian roads last year were travelling in vehicles aged more than 10 years. So far in 2022, 28 out of the 54 driver and passenger deaths have occurred in a vehicle built more than a decade ago and the average vehicle on Victoria’s roads is around 10 years old – meaning far too many cars are without the latest lifesaving technologies found in more modern vehicles. The Australasian New Car Assessment Program and Used Car Safety Ratings are free to access and provide the latest vehicle safety information to help people in the market make an informed choice. Life-saving safety features people should look for, according to the TAC, include auto-emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, electronic stability control, and front, side and curtain airbags. It comes as Victoria successfully worked with the Commonwealth Government to ensure all newly introduced models sold in Australia from March 2023 are fitted with autonomous emergency braking – which is expected to save dozens of lives across the country each year. The push follows the recent National Road Safety Week, which highlighted the importance of road safety and what we can all do to make our roads safer for everyone. A key theme of the week acknowledged the topic ‘how safe is my car’, encouraging people to think about safety when choosing a car and to ensure their current vehicle has enough safety features. Getting people into safer vehicles is a key priority of Victoria’s Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan 2021-2023, which sets ambitious targets to halve road deaths and significantly reduce serious injuries by 2030. People can see the latest ratings, look for information about vehicle safety features and check how safe their car is on the howsafeisyourcar.com.au website.

The minimum legal tread depth is 1.5mm. Less than that reduces your car's grip on the road and you could slide in the wet. Tread, by the way, are the grooves running around each tyre. Tyre tread depth can be checked with a tread wear indicator, which is a small bar on every tyre next to the letters TWI. When the tread is worn down to that indicator, it's time for a new one or whole set. *** For better grip and longer-lasting tyres you need the correct tyre pressure. This is best done early in the day when the tyres are cool. To find out the right tyre pressure for your car, it is on the placard bolted to the door frame. It's best to check pressure every month. *** Tyres more than 10 years old should be replaced. Time takes its toll on tyres causing the rubber to deteriorate, which can make handling of your vehicle unsafe. *** Your wheels should be balanced at least once a year and when you buy new tyres. A wheel balance evenly weights the tyres and so increases each tyre's life on your vehicle.

COVID-19 is alive and well and has spread throughout many areas of our lives – including matters of income tax. The Australian Taxation Office anticipates that COVID-19 will continue to impact the income and deductions taxpayers will be reporting this tax time. "We know that many have faced significant challenges this year and the ATO is here to help you to get your tax right the first time," Assistant Commissioner Tim Loh explains. This tax time, taxpayers need to be aware of changes in circumstances that may affect what needs to be included as income or what can be claimed as a deduction. Among the most common changes for taxpayers include receiving an income support payment and changing what can be claimed as a workrelated expense. "Tax time can be a smooth and easy experience if you know what income you must include and what COVID-19-related expenses you can claim in your tax return," Mr Loh says. Taxpayers and their registered tax agents affected by COVID-19 or financial hardship can access support at ato.gov.au/coronavirus COVID-19 work-related expenses From July 1, 2021, taxpayers who paid for a COVID-19 test for work-related purposes (such as to determine if they can attend or remain at work) can now claim a deduction for the test. Taxpayers must have a record to demonstrate that they paid for the test, a receipt or invoice is usually best. If there isn’t a receipt or invoice, reasonable evidence is documentation that shows the cost of the test and the requirement to take it for work purposes. For example, a bank or credit card statement or evidence from an employer can be provided. Taxpayers cannot claim for a test that their employer provided or if their employer reimbursed them for the cost. Only tests that are required for work-related purposes can be claimed. "If you purchased a COVID-19 test for a trip with your mates, you can’t claim a deduction," Mr Loh says. Taxpayers may be able to claim a deduction for the cost of protective items that protect against risk of illness or injury while performing work duties. "If you’re spending your working day in close proximity to customers and at risk of contracting COVID-19, you may be able to claim a deduction for protective items such as gloves, face masks, or sanitiser. This will be most common in industries such as retail, cleaning and hospitality," Mr Loh says. Different payments JobSeeker JobSeeker payments are taxable.

A Kyneton resident has written a series of children's books offering insight into what it's like to be a special needs child. Having raised a child with autism herself, Bette Sartore wanted to help other children understand what it's like to live with special needs. The books cover subjects including autism, asthma, juvenile arthritis and anxiety. "I wrote the first one about my son Galen, for his classmates to understand his idiosyncrasies," Bette explains. The first in series to be published, Toby's Treehouse, tells the story of a boy with asthma, and was also inspired by a person close to Bette. "A friend of mine has really bad asthma, and he had it as a child," Bette explains. "He sat and told me one day about how hard it was to get out of bed some days, how he could hear the kids outside playing but couldn't go, and he was forever going to hospital. "This was 18 years ago, and it sort of formulated in my head over the next 10 years because I was dealing with autism and then I sat down and it all just poured out." Toby's Treehouse is available locally at Aesop's Attic in Kyneton, Barnes and Noble and Amazon. The other books in the series will be published soon. Bette also wrote a non-fiction book,

Andrew Sellars-Jones with his prize-winning ram.
Chandpara Stud sheep supreme
Chandpara Southdown Stud enjoyed success at the Victorian Sheep Show, held at Ballarat Showgrounds last month. The Tylden stud won every yearling ram class. The winner of the woolly ram class then went on to win the Champion Southdown Ram sash. Not content with that victory, his next achievement was the Champion Interbreed Shortwool Ram. He then defeated the Champion Longwool Ram to be crowned the Supreme Sheep of the Show. Stud principal Andrew Sellars-Jones said the ram, who was only 11 months old, ticked all the boxes. "He is balanced, has great carcass attributes and a real sire presence about him," Mr Sellars-Jones said. "It was only his second show outing but he seemed to relish the attention and loved being out in the ring." The ram was used as a stud sire over some selected ewes in February, with lambs due late July. Mr Sellars-Jones is hoping they'll possess some of his excellent traits.

Preeminent, unique and undeniably iconic, the 'Glass House' rightfully stakes its claim as one of the country's most emblematic homes, allowing its exceptional surrounds and north-facing views of Mount Macedon to take centre stage, framed by its unprecedented minimalistic architectural brilliance. Established on approximately 4.1 acres with frontage to Jackson's Creek, the striking residence is defined by its semi-circular design, conceived to take full advantage of its reality-defying locale and world-class vistas, complemented by an equally superlative finish for an unsurpassed and peaceful lifestyle. Preceded by landscaped European gardens providing an autumnal pop of vibrancy and completing the circular design, the home's thermal-glazed glass walls tantalise with previews of the home's interior, where polished concrete floors with zoned in-slab hydronic heating and 2.9m ceilings encapsulate an unrivalled living experience. Expansive enough for the greatest of gatherings yet magnificently refined for total rest and reprieve, the central living and dining domain are exquisitely bookended by a gas log fireplace and a gourmet kitchen of true culinary prowess, adorned with Miele appliances and Carrara Italian marble benchtops. Abundantly spacious with retreat-like space in each, the three bedrooms maintain total privacy and separation from any social noise, headlined by a decadent master suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite, romanticised by freestanding bath capturing the awe-inspiring mountain vistas. Take in the sunrise from atop the ridge before heading down to the banks of Jacksons Creek for a spot of fishing, cruise into Gisborne township for a portion of its indulgent artisan food and wine culture, or head into Melbourne - a mere 45-minute drive from the automated front gates. Solar power, motorised blinds, zoned split-system heating and cooling, a 25,000-litre water storage tank with an automated watering system, a 9.0 x 12.0 powered and insulated garage/workshop, CCTV gate camera, and dozens of Manchurian mature pears along the boundary complete a redefined residential experience like no other.

Majajjoror Mititctcchhheeelllll’s M l jour ourne r neyey
Edited by Robin Godfrey
In the year 1836, Major Thomas Mitchell and his party of exploration were on their return journey having reached the southern-most point of their trek, where the southern ocean meets the south-west corner of what is now known as the State of Victoria. The exploration party had found themselves in boggy ground (near where Faraday is today) and their all-important boat-carriage had become damaged, requiring repairs. Major Mitchell took the opportunity to make an excursion to the south, with some of his men, to the lofty mountain (he later named Mount Macedon), which he had previously observed from the summit he had named Mount Byng (now known as Mount Alexander). The following excerpt from Major Mitchell’s Journal gives an extraordinarily detailed description of the excursion to Mount Macedon. We have the opportunity to see the country exactly as Major Mitchell saw and experienced on his journey through it. 30-September-1836 – Compelled to await the repair of the boat-carriage, I determined to make an excursion to the lofty mountain mass, which appeared about thirty miles to the southward, in order that I might connect my survey with Port Phillip. Which I hoped to see hence. The horses were not found as soon as they were required, but when we at last got upon their backs, we were therefore less disposed to spare them. We crossed some soft hollows during the first few miles, and then arrived on the banks of a small and deep river with reeds on its borders, and containing many broad and deep reaches. It was full, and flowed, but not rapidly, towards the north-east, and it was not until we had continued along the left bank of this stream for a considerable way upwards, that we found a rapid, where we could cross without swimming. The left bank was steep, but grassy and clear of timber, being very level on the summit. Beyond the river, which I then named the Barnard (today named the Coliban River), we first encountered a hilly country from which we emerged rather unexpectedly; for, after crossing a small rivulet flowing in a deep and grassy dell and ascending the opposite slope, we found that the summit consisted of an open level country of the finest description. It was covered with the best kind of grass, and the immediate object of our ride, the mountain, was now visible beyond these rich plains. Some fine forest-hills arose in various directions to the right and left, and indeed I never saw a more pleasing or promising portion of territory. The rich open ground, across which we rode, was not without slight undulations; and when we had travelled about four miles of it, we came quite unawares to a full and flowing stream, nearly on a level with its grassy banks; the bottom being so sound that we forded it without the least difficulty. Emus were very numerous on the downs, and their curiosity brought them to stare at our horses, apparently unconscious of the presence of the men on their backs, whom both birds and beasts seem instinctively to avoid. In one flock, I counted twenty-nine emus, and so near did they come to us, that having no rifle with me, I was tempted to discharge even my pistol at one, although without effect. Kangaroos were equally numerous. Having proceeded three miles beyond the stream, we came to another, flowing to the westward between some very deep ponds, and it was probably a tributary to the first. At twenty-two miles from the camp, on descending from some finely undulating open ground, we arrived at a stream flowing westward, which I judged to be also a branch of that we had first crossed. Its bed consisted of granitic rocks, and on the left bank I found igneous rock. We had this stream afterwards in sight on our left until, at two miles further, we again crossed it and entered a wood of eucalyptus, being then only five miles distant from the mountain, and we subsequently found that this wood extended to its base. The effects of some violent hurricane from the north were visible under every tree, the earth being covered with broken branches, some of which were more than a foot in diameter; the withering leaves remained upon them, and I remarked that no whole trees had been blown down, although almost all had lost their principal limbs, and not a few had been reduced to bare poles. The havoc, which the storm had made, gave an unusual aspect to the whole of the forest land, so universally was it covered with withering branches. Whether this region is subject to frequent visitations of a like nature, I could not of course then ascertain; but I perceived that many of the trees had lost some of their top limbs at a much earlier period, in a similar manner. Neither had this been but a partial tempest, for to the very base of the mountain the same effects were visible. The trees on the side of the mountain were of a much grander character than those in the forest, and consisted principally of black-butt and blue-gum eucalypti, measuring from six to eight feet in diameter. The rock was syenite, so weathered as to resemble sandstone. I ascended the mountain without having been obliged to alight from my horse, and I found that the summit was very spacious, being covered towards the south with tree ferns, and the musk-plant grew in great luxuriance. The summit was full of wombat holes, and, unlike that side by which I had ascended, it was covered with dead trunks of enormous trees in all stages of decay. I had two important objects in view in ascending this mountain; one being to determine its position trigonometrically, as a point likely to be seen from the country to which I was going, where it might be useful to me in fixing other points; the other being to obtain a view of Port Phillip, and thus to connect my survey with that harbour. But the treefern, musk-plant, brush, and lofty timber, together shut us up for a long time from any prospect of the low country to the southward, and it was not until I had nearly exhausted a fine sunny afternoon in wandering round the broad summit, that I could distinguish and recognise some of the hills to the westward; and when I at length obtained a glimpse of the country towards the coast, the features of the earth could scarcely be distinguished from the sky or sea, although one dark point looked more like a cape than a cloud, and seemed to remain steady.
With my glass, I perceived that water lay inside of that cape, and that low plains extended northward from the water. I next discovered a hilly point outside of the cape or towards the sea; and on descending the hill to where the trees grew less thickly, I obtained an uninterrupted view of the whole piece of water. As the sun went down, the distant horizon became clearer towards the coast, and I intersected at length the two capes; also one at the head of the bay, and several detached hills. I perceived distinctly the course of the Exe and Arundell rivers (later named the Werribee and Maribyrnong rivers), and a line of mangrove trees along the low shore. In short, I at length recognised Port Phillip and the intervening country around it, at a distance afterwards ascertained to be upwards of fifty miles from Indented Head, which proved to be the first cape I had seen; that outside (at A) being Point Nepean, on the east side of the entrance to this bay. At that vast distance, I could trace no signs of life about this harbour. No stockyards, cattle, nor even smoke, although at the highest northern point of the bay, I saw a mass of white objects, which might have been either tents or vessels. I perceived a white speck, which I took for breakers or white sand, on the projecting point of the north-eastern shore. (at B). On that day nine years ago exactly, I first beheld the heads of Port Jackson, a rather singular coincidence. Thus the mountain on which I stood became an important point in my survey, and I gave it the name of Mount Macedon, with reference to that of Port Phillip*. It had been long dark before I reached the base of the mountain, and picked out a dry bit of turf on which to lie down for the night.
(*) Geboor is the native name of this mountain, as since ascertained by my friend Capt. King, and it is a much better one, having fewer letters, and being aboriginal.

Kilmore to join GDCA Bill West
Kilmore Cricket Club, established in 1857, is poised to play in the Gisborne District Cricket Association next season. The final step in linking up Kilmore with the GDCA was scheduled to take place last night at the association’s an-
nual meeting in Gisborne. Kilmore, a very well organised club with its own ground and a turf wicket, fielded four open ages sides in the Seymour District Cricket Association last season. It prides itself on providing pathways for young cricketers. The Kilmore club has been considering its future for months, with special meetings and surveys carried out on
whether it should transfer to the GDCA. At the weekend, GDCA president Rob McIntyre said the association would welcome the inclusion of Kilmore. Yesterday, Kilmore sources confirmed the club would be signing up at last night’s annual meeting. At this stage, it is expected Broadford will not be following Kilmore’s move.
Kyneton’s O One ne sstep tep closer closer for for Olivia Olivia big test Bendigo League round 12 matches take place this Saturday after a bye for all clubs last weekend. From a football perspective, fourth-placed Kyneton faces up to a strong Strathfieldsaye lineup at the Showgrounds. The Tigers had won six in a row before faltering at Gisborne on July 25, and will be hoping to bounce back hard and recapture their previous form at home. Back on April 23, Strathfieldsaye defeated Kyneton 18.15 to 11.11, and the home side will be trying to make amends. Ladder-leader Gisborne sustained its first loss when Sandhurst took control in the second half at the Queen Elizabeth Oval on June 18. This weekend the Bulldogs head to Camp Reserve to tackle Castlemaine, a side buoyed by a victory against Maryborough in round 11. The Magpies would love to cause a boilover, but this does not appear to be a possible reality. Other matches on Saturday are Eaglehawk v Kangaroo Flat, Sandhurst v South Bendigo, and Maryborough v Golden Square.
Register for Aussie Hoops
Kyneton Basketball Association's Aussie Hoops program for term three is now open for registration.

Grants to clubs
Several sporting clubs in Lancefield and Romsey have just been allocated $500 each through the local Community Banks’ reconnect grants scheme. Recipients include Romsey Cricket Club, Romsey and Lancefield junior football clubs, Lancefield and Romsey bowling clubs, and Romsey Football Netball Club. A limited number of grants are still available. For details, contact Angela Dickins (senior manager) or any of the staffers at either of the bank’s two branches.
This titime llastt year Matt Thi M tt Bender B d nominated Olivia for Melbourne Victory’s pre-academy trials, with six months of soccer under her belt she attended and had a blast. Much to her delighted, Olivia was selected for phase one of pre-academy trials and now Macedon Rangers Soccer Club is proud to announce that Olivia has been selected for phase two! Matt, a Melbourne Victory supporter, said he was so proud to hear Olivia made the second phase of PAC. "Her attitude towards her games and training come as no surprise that she has advanced. Hard work does pay off and she has shown that hands down,” he said. Club president Charles Bender also congratulated Olivia and the others who were nominated by the club last year that also made it through to the second phase. With trials currently under way for new entrants to Melbourne Victory’s pre-academy, MRSC is sure that others will follow in Olivia’s footsteps. At 10 years of age, her dedication, determination and sacrifices are well beyond her years and most importantly she is having so much fun.

GOLF results Castlemaine Darren Gervasoni took out Castlemaine’s monthly medal event with a round of 80-8-72 on Saturday. He finished a shot clear of fellow A-grader Jason Cordy who carded 79-6-73. The B-grade winner was Tony Strong with 90-16-74, and C-grade went to Rod Entwisle on 92-19-73. Kyneton Saturday was July medal day at Kyneton and Glenn Cook stole the limelight by wrapping up the medal and B-grade with a superb 78-12-66, seven shots clear of the field. A-grade: Pete Robbins 81-8-73 from Jason McClure 80-5-75. C: Billy McKee 9520-75 from Col O’Sullivan 96-19-77. Pat Clohesy won the three-way play-off for the June medal with 91-18-73 (also B-grade runner-up) from McClure and Mark Sciberas. Nearest the pins were Robbins, Bob Bennett, Damien Summers, Nathan Thompson, and Jonathan Beachey (also super pin). Wednesday stableford: Weather bitter, scoring sweet, as Ross Foreman (15) came in with 40 points, ahead of Wally Stys (18) on 35. The ladies encountered cold but fine conditions for their Tuesday stableford. Michelle Werner (24) had 30 points to edge out Bron Dwyer (28) by two points, with Grace Parkinson (26) the nine-hole winner with 15 points on a countback from Irene Kozicz (40). In the latest Marg Sutherland Memo-
rial doubles knockout matches Werner and Teaote Davies finished 1up against Marg Scoble and Marian Orr, and Lorraine Ryan and Vicki Nettleton defeated Robyn MacRae – Denise Murphy 4/3. Lancefield In windy conditions Lancefield golfers struggled to return good scores in the monthly medal event on Saturday. Glen Holland was the medal and B-grade winner with a round of 92-18-74. Todd Lambert 83-7-76 topped A-grade, and C-grade went to Malcolm Ive with 10327-76. The ladies were scheduled to play a 4BBB competition on Wednesday but the temperature dropped to three degrees and with near frozen fingers resembling icy poles a decision was made to truncate it to a nine-hole event and then head to the warm clubrooms. Anne Robinson and Marlane Pattinson were the 4BBB team winners, with Sandra Matthews the nine-hole winner with 18 points. Legends: James Whitford (19) all square, from Jason Byron (8) – 3 on a countback from Ed Godek (14). Romsey Another challenging day for intrepid Romsey players on Saturday, as an excellent field turned out for the four-ball aggregate stableford. Clear cut winners with 63 points were Steve Wilkins (17) and John Freestone (25), from Bob McLennan (14) and Keith Hock-
ing (28) on 58. Simon Donovan snared both NTPs. Why were Romsey ladies out playing in near freezing, windy conditions last week? Answer: ‘That’s what we do on Wednesdays’. The June medal winner was Elaine Scanlon with 113-32-81 from Jenny Hartley 10320-83 and Kath Jekabsons 123-38-85. Nine Holes: Hugh Williams 59-9-41 on a countback from Shirley Shelton. Trentham A field of 69 braved the cold weather to compete for the July monthly medal at Trentham on Saturday. Most found the conditions difficult, with best score coming from medallist and Bgrade winner Mark Trinder with 82-17-65. He finished two shots clear of A-grader Kent Newton on 80-13-67, with Larry Prowse 99-23-76 winning C-grade on a countback from Harold Moore. Alison Borchers is in peak form and took out the women’s A-grade stableford with 34 points, from Veronica Maher 31. Rhonda Bradley 30 points edged out Rhonda Holcomb on a countback in B-grade. Woodend Chris Holiday was the July monthly medal winner at Woodend on Saturday. Holiday’s 81-13-68 was the day’s best round in cold and windy conditions, and fellow A-graders W. Sliwinski72-3-69 and Grant Davies 80-11-69 were hot on his heels. Todd Kendrick broke through for a Bgrade success with 94-19-75.

Senior Kyneton footballer Rhys Magin (pictured centre) joined Reclink Australia sports coordinator Mitch Sheridan (pictured kneeling at left) and participants at their recent football match at the Kyneton Showgrounds.
Sport brings people together
A special football match was held at the Kyneton Showgrounds last month, run by an organisation that provides sporting opportunities to people experiencing disadvantage. Reclink Australia believes sport can be used to bring communities together and improve the health and wellbeing of their participants. Reclink sports coordinator Mitch Sheridan, who also hails from Kyneton, said Kyneton Football Netball Club members generously opened their doors for the day and also got senior footballer Rhys Magin to come down and speak with the participants before the match. "Reclink has country clubs and metro clubs so we tried
to find a middle ground so the teams wouldn't have to travel too far and I've always wanted to do something in my hometown of Kyneton," Mitch said. "We had teams from Ballarat, Maryborough and Sunbury all merged together to play a game. "Big thanks to Nikki Young and Hayden Evans for making it all possible, also to the Macedon Ranges Shire for their support." Mitch said the day was a great success and Reclink hoped to be able to do it again and get some other community organisations involved. "The players felt elevated, connected, included and part of something," he said.
"The Maryborough team had their first win of the season. "We had a barbecue afterwards so people can come together and connect. "It's about a sense of belonging and community, and improvement in their health and wellbeing." In partnership with more than 450 community organisations, Reclink Australia's programs create pathways to improved health and wellbeing, education and employment outcomes for all participants. There is no other social inclusion program in Australia with the reach and impact that Reclink Australia's model currently has.
Rising netball stars state reps
Two rising Macedon Ranges netball stars have been selected for the Under 12 School Sport Victorian netball team. Riddells Creek's Tilly Allen and Romsey's Grace Miles will represent the state in the national championship at NSW in September. Both girls gave impressive performances during the rigorous trial process to make selection. They are two of 12 team members selected from more than 400 students. Many past School Sport Victoria team members have gone on to compete at national and international competitions including the Olympic Games, World Championships and Commonwealth Games. But it all starts with honing their skills at their own local clubs. Salesian College student Tilly plays for the Gisborne Rookies and grew up playing for Riddells Creek Football Netball Club. She recently competed in the Central West Association Championships for the RDFNL Under 13 interleague team and also plays for Strathmore Netball Club – training and playing in Melbourne a couple of times a week. Parents Eliza and Michael were elated with her selection and proud of
her efforts. "Tilly has worked very hard over the past 12 months," Eliza said. "She has dedicated her time travelling to and from Melbourne, gym sessions and extra home ball work, and goal shooting sessions, which definitely resulted in massive improvement in her game." Braemar College student Grace plays for the Romsey Redbacks in the RDFNL and Rosanna Jets in the Banyule and District Netball League, both U13. She was presented the Redbacks coach's award last season. Cheering Grace on are parents Leigh and Alison, and sister Emily, 15, who made the SSV U12 state team in 2019. "Grace’s attitude towards training is 'you should train how you play'. She gives 110 per cent every time she plays. I feel she is very fair to other players and respectful of the umpires, which we are very proud of," Leigh said. "The experience of the national tournament is absolutely amazing with everyone of the 14 games being in a grand final atmosphere and we all can’t wait to go through it again."

Bright future for stable star Bill West
My Yankee Girl is the stable star from the Hirsch Park racing complex at Tylden, and she chalked up her fourth win from nine starts by taking out the MSS Security Rivette Series Final at Flemington on Saturday. The strong four-year-old by American Pharoah (USA) from Pittsburgh Flyer carried second topweight of 58kg and was ridden in fine style by top jockey Jye McNeil. Ever since winning on debut over 1000m, trainer John Salanitri and his brother Frank (racing manager) have had a high opinion of My Yankee Girl, one of the many gallopers to carry the distinctive colours of long-time successful owner-breeder Eddie Hirsch. At her previous outing, when ridden by Damien Oliver, My Yankee Girl won easily at Caulfield. On Saturday, the mare was a $4.80 chance and settled back in the field with the opportunity to make an unimpeded run at the right time. She accelerated quickly and beat Rioyuki and Belle Rouge by a narrow margin. The mare now has stake earnings of $227,000 to her credit, from four wins, two seconds and a third.
Top spot at stake One of the matches of the season in Riddell District netball takes place at Woodend this Saturday, with the winner certain to be top of the ladder with five rounds remaining before the finals. Macedon’s prowess is well recognised, and the Cats sit on top of the ladder a game ahead of steadily improving Woodend-Hesket, which a far superior percentage of 177.92. Under Ciara Stewart’s tutelage, the Cats know how to win when it matters, and they will be wary of what the Hawks can produce. At Riddell, the sixth-placed Bombers will be trying to upset fourth-placed Diggers Rest to keep faint finals hopes alive. Scores from the 11th round on Saturday were: Macedon 44 d Diggers Rest 37, Riddell 63 d Romsey 22, Woodend-Hesket 54 d Western Rams 23, Wallan 58 d Melton Centrals 34.

Action from the Romsey versus Riddell match on Saturday.
Romsey coach Paul Kennedy was pleased with the first quarter efforts of his players against Riddell on Saturday.
Bombers set for big clash Bill West
A severely undermanned Romsey went down to Riddell by 50 points on Saturday, with the Bombers now turning their attention to this weekend’s clash for top spot against a powerful Diggers Rest combination. “Footy’s always a challenge at Romsey,” admitted Riddell coach Justin Belleville, after his side had spent the first half battling to subdue the gallant Redbacks before running away in the last quarter. After 12 rounds, Diggers Rest and Riddell have each lost just one game, so there is expected to be a sizeable crowd at Bomberland on Saturday for the battle between two sides with strong premiership aspirations in 2022. “We’ve had 28 scoring shots to eight,” Belleville pointed out, happy with the second half after the Bombers had squandered scoring opportunities to kick 1.7 with the wind advantage in the second term. Redbacks’ coach Paul Kennedy was philosophical and realistic, praising his side’s efforts to stay competitive for so long. Romsey has a long injury list, probably the longest in the league this season, and the loss of fullback Angus Storey and utility Nathan Rayment in the first half added to the Redbacks’ woes. “We just hit the wall in the last quarter … we had several players who had just played a handful of games and it was tough going out there,” Kennedy said.
Tim Walsh, Riddell’s ace defender turned full forward, kicked seven of the Bombers’ 11 goals to again emphasise his importance to the side, and speedster Callum Williamson showed his class. Prime mover Dylan Tarczon suffered an agonising hamstring injury in the third quarter, hobbling from the ground. He is a much-needed cog in the side’s lineup heading into the finals. The ultra-consistent Michael Tinkler, Nathan Tessari and Dean Walsh were named as Romsey’s best. Several Romsey players had to double up to ensure the Redbacks fielded full sides on Saturday. Riddell 3.2, 4.9, 7.10, 11.18 (84) d Romsey 3.3, 3.3, 5.3, 5.4 (34). Goals (Ridd) – T. Walsh 7, J. Lanyon 2, N. Bridgland, T. Alkemade. Best – C. Williamson, Alkemade, B. Sonogan, Walsh, M. Said, Bridgland. Goals (Rom) – C. Lever, A. Paterson, N. Rayment, M. Burkett, D. Walsh. Best – M. Tinkler, N. Tessari, Walsh, C. Pretzel, J. De Haas, M. Adamson. WOODEND-HESKET VERSUS MACEDON This Saturday’s round also brings a blockbuster battle between sixth-placed Woodend-Hesket and Macedon, both battling to try and secure a finals berth. The two sides go into the game at Gilbert Gordon Reserve with contrasting lead-ups, as Macedon was smashed by Diggers Rest while the Woodsmen rested
some top liners as they accounted for cellar dweller Western Rams by 141 points. The Hawks will be desperate to turn the tables on the Cats, who won well at their clash earlier in the season, and they celebrated the induction of two new life members in Jesse Sheppard and Jimmy Hepburn on Saturday night. Sheppard and Hepburn have both played over 200 games and given loyal service to the club on and off the field. Woodend-Hesket 22.17 (149) d Western Rams 2.5 (17). Goals (W) – J. Pound 4, T. Duff-Tytler, P. Podbury, T. Pound 3, J. Hicks, J. Arceri, B. Toman, A. Rae 2, M. Shanahan. Best – H. Giddings, Duff-Tytler, Hicks, T. Pound, Tom, J. Pound. Diggers Rest 19.11 (125) d Macedon 5.4 (34). Goals – M. Knox 3, M. Dick, T. Pridgeon. Best – Pridgeon, D. Morrice, J. Wilton, J. Blake, Knox, B. Hoyne.Third-placed Wallan, after being well beaten by a rampant Riddell, bounced back to account for Melton Centrals 23.18 (156) to 7.6 (48). Reserves: Riddell 10.14 d Romsey 2.4, WoodendHesket 25.13 d Western Rams 3.4, Diggers Rest 14.14 d Macedon 2.2, Wallan 13.16 d Centrals 1.4.
