Hardwicks H ardwicks b big ig d deal eal James Hardwick, Dean Goode, Luke Hardwick and Jiah Falcke from Hardwicks Meats and Kilcoy Global Foods.
Kyneton-based beef and lamb processer Hardwicks Meats has joined forces with Queensland based billion-dollar global beef processor, Kilcoy Global Foods. The Foreign Investment Review Board has approved the historic deal which aims to create significant growth opportunities for the brand. The KGF and Hardwick agreement will see joint managing directors, Luke and James Hardwick, remain with the company during a transition period. “Our parents Gary and Vikki founded Hardwicks Meats almost 50 years ago and today we are excited to join the Kilcoy Global Foods family,” Luke Hardwick said on Friday. “We are two complementary businesses, with similar values and goals, uniting under the global KGF banner.
"KGF will facilitate a capital injection to modernise our Kyneton plant leading to increased production, and from that an increase in the local workforce, which is great news for Kyneton and Victoria. Mr Hardwick said the company was excited to be part of KGF’s $1.5 billion global nature-to-plate food solutions operation that supplies food service and retail customers across Australia, the United States, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. “It’s an exciting time for our business and together with the senior KGF team, we have been briefing industry and supplier stakeholders, with the highest priority given to the current 400-strong workforce at the Kyneton processing plant, all of whom will be retained,” he said. KGF President Australian Division, Jiah Falcke said KGF identified Hardwicks as

an ideal partner for its existing operations in Australia and overseas, due to its offer of high-quality products, service excellence and established national and export markets. “KGF enjoys a strong relationship with its workforce and we will work with Luke and James and their management team to ensure a smooth transition across all levels of the business,” Mr Falcke said. Mr Falcke confirmed KGF has no immediate plans to change the Hardwick name, with similar subsidiaries across the world continuing to operate under founding names. “Like KGF, Hardwicks is instantly recognisable and highly respected both by producers and customers who equally stand to benefit from the new partnership. We’ve reinforced that all jobs will be maintained and we’ll look to employ more staff as we
expand. Hardwick’s commitment to existing local community partnerships will also continue,” said Mr Falcke. KGF exports to more than 35 global markets and its vision was to expand into value added processing, with meal solution products across both retail and food service channels. KGF has operations in Australia, the United States and China with its global headquarters located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Hardwicks Meats Kyneton employs about 400 people and KGF plans to retain all Hardwicks staff. The Hardwicks family will continue to own and run their retail business, Hardwicks of Kyneton on Mollison Street and are pleased to remain active members of the local community.

Your glass needs in two handy locations One of the district longest-standing businesses, Macedon Ranges Glass, has now expanded from its premises in New Gisborne to open a second showroom in Piper Street Kyneton. That means access to the Macedon Ranges Glass services and products is handy, quick and easy for even more people - including those from around the Bendigo region and closer to Castlemaine. The business was started way back in 1970 by Terry Vernon as Vernon Glass. It wasn't until last August that, as his son and current business operator Brett says, Terry "hung up his putty knife" and is now enjoying retirement. The Kyneton showroom has been open for a couple of months and Brett says they're very excited to now have a personal, physical presence in a second location. All that Macedon Ranges Glass offers can be seen or arranged through their Kyneton showroom as well as Gisborne. Popular right now is the technique which allows genuine double glazing to he installed into existing timber window frames. Brett says this can save up to 70 percent heat loss in winter than existing glass and keep the heat out in summer so saving on heating and cooling bills year in, year out. Shower screens, splashbacks, mirrors and more - including the very popular pet doors can all be arranged for your new or existing property by Macedon Ranges Glass. Not only does the business pride itself on their service and workmanship, they take pride in the fact that they are an employer of locals and a supporter of local groups and clubs through sponsorship and the like. You'll find them at 89E Piper Street Kyneton, where Brett's wife Alicia oversees the showroom, and at 6/5 Ladd Road New Gisborne.

Service centre bid skittled
The Victorian Civil and Administration Tribunal has upheld the shire council view that a large Freeway Service Centre proposed for Woodend North should not go ahead. The contentious application attracted 152 objections, and four letters of support, with some locals fearful existing business outlets in Woodend would suffer if the proposal by BWK Properties Pty Ltd was approved. The VCAT hearing extend over five days in April, and the decision was handed down last week. "Due to its siting relative to the freeway reservation, I have not been persuaded that the development maintains the sequence of views along the freeway, or that it will protect, maintain or respect the rural landscape in which it is located, as sought by policy. It is too close to the freeway to enable it to do so," stated VCAT senior member Bill Sibonis. Based on the submissions, VCAT stated key issues for determination included will the proposal have an unacceptable impact on the landscape, will there be unacceptable amenity impacts, is sufficient car parking provided, will there be unacceptable economic impacts, and unacceptable loss of agricultural land. The VCAT judgement ran to 23 pages.
The proposed 5.1 hectare site is in the farming zone, and subject to an environmental overlay. It is presently used for grazing. The applicant sought to gain approval to establish fuel bowsers for passenger vehicles and trucks, a 222.58 square metre convenience store, food outlets, two kitchens, toilets, a 'truckers' lounge' a prayer/quiet room, 40 car spaces, nine truck parking spaces, a picnic area, seven electric vehicle charging bays, and a picnic area. VCAT noted that Woodend hospitality businesses (cafes, restaurants, ice creamery, etc) have estimated annual sales of $22.7 million a year, and the estimated total of $3.4 million in sales for the two quick food cafes combined ... is insignificant particularly when sales at the freeway centre would be essentially to passing traffic. "I estimate that possibly five per cent of quick service food sales at the freeway service centre are to Woodend and district resident and the sales would total $170,000 per year," Mr Sibonis said. "On this basis, sales to Woodend residents visiting the proposed two freeway quick service businesses would be equivalent to just 0.7 per cent of the sales at the 17 hospitality businesses -- excluding Holgates Brewhouse -- in the Woodend town centre ($170,000/$22.7 million).

Forest closure extended
Council is offering a range of workshops for local businesses to help people develop practical tools to manage their mental health. The next session, Building Mental Muscles, is being held online from 7.00pm to 8.30pm on Tuesday 13 July.
As storm clean-up continues in the Cobaw State Forest, Forest Fire Management Victoria has extended the forest closure until September 30. FFMVic Acting Deputy Chief Fire Officer Loddon Mallee Carsten Nannestad said crews are assessing and clearing more than 90 kilometres of forest roads and tracks before the forest can be safely reopened to the public. “With large numbers of fallen trees and due to the current conditions, the potential for more trees falling, our crews have a massive job ahead, assessing and clearing an area the length of the Midland Highway between Bendigo and Echuca," he said. “A dedicated recovery team has been established that consists of staff with specialist skills including hazardous tree assessment and removal and operating heavy machinery to clear forest roads and road edges." Mr Nannestad asked for community cooperation while crews complete safety inspections and undertake required works and clean up. “For your own safety, please adhere to signs and stay out of the forest until these dangers are cleared,” he said. “The Cobaw State Forest is popular with trail bike riders and four-wheel drivers who we know are keen to hit the tracks and explore the bush. “We want to assure the public that our crews are working as quickly and safely as they can so Victorians can return to the Cobaw State Forest and enjoy all that the area has to offer.” For a full list of park and forest closures, visit: ffm.vic.gov.au

Shout out a youth
Storm takes old church
Nominations have opened for Macedon Ranges Youth Awards. The awards celebrate and recognise the outstanding achievements of young people aged 12-25 who live, work or go to school in the shire. “Young people can often be an unacknowledged force in the shaping of communities and culture," Mayor Jennifer Anderson said. “The Youth Awards ensure that some of the creative and sustained ways young people, individually and collectively, contribute to the Macedon Ranges community are given higher recognition." Young people can be nominated in one of the following categories: Will power: young people who show real character and perseverance, especially in the face of adversity. Good deeds: young people who give their time and energy to activities that support the wellbeing of another individual, group or community. Pure imagination: young people pursuing their passion for creativity through the arts. Nicely played: young people kicking recreational and physical activity goals. Skilling it: young people excelling in a mentorship program, workplace or business. Well aware: young people who shine light on important issues/social causes, and raise awareness in the community. Nominations close at 11.59pm on Sunday August 8 and forms can be lodged online at mrsc.vic.gov.au/youthawards Winners for 2021 will be announced at a special event on September 15 at Kyneton Town Hall.
Sydney Green. Wipeout: The old church building was utterly destroyed, with any chance of restoration ruled out. “I heard a hell of a bang, and knew the old church must have gone ... you could put a car in the hole left by the uprooted blue cedar which demolished it.” These are the descriptive words of Sydney Green, one of Lancefield’s best known residents often described as a ‘living legend’ in the district and beyond. The ‘hell of a bang’ came on top of fierce storm noises which woke Syd in the darkness around 2am on June 10. Daylight revealed the old timber church, originally Baptist and later Apostolic in the heart of Lancefield until it made its journey up High Street to the Green family’s property on the western fringe of the town in 1971, is no more. Crushed, splintered, shattered and destroyed just a few metres from the old family home where Syd and his late wife Anne raised a family of six. The church was moved from Raglan Street, between Dunsford and High Street, after Syd purchased the site to sell it on. “We put the building on steel beams, and pulled it with two tractors. The local copper (Alf Anderson) came along and provided a police escort.

“Tony Barnett sat on the roof and pushed the power lines up along the street... lots of locals came out and had a look. “The church was eventually converted into a really great workshop. It even had a big brick immersion pool from Baptist times. “We had overflow Christmas dinners for three generations in there at times as well. I never thought I’d see it go this way. “I suppose it’s just another piece of Lancefield’s history that most people haven’t got a clue about .... since I was a kid I’ve always been interested in what some of the old timers had to say about the early days which a lot of people don’t know about.” A long time cartage contractor and farmer, fire chief and park committee stalwart, Syd has always been a collector of a multitude of old farm machinery, specially tractors and engines. There’s an astonishing collection spread across acreage which has been in the family since the 1800s. The big 1969 Case tractor Syd hoped to restore at some stage also suffered when the big cedar came down. “We’ll probably never cop another storm of this magnitude across the district,” he added.

Connection boost for Fryerstown Eve Lamb
Telstra says it's set to deliver new mobile connectivity in Fryerstown as part of the Regional Connectivity Program with works expected to start in the next few months. A $110,000 upgrade to telecommunications infrastructure will improve 4G mobile coverage and network capacity in Fryerstown, thanks to joint funding by Telstra and the federal government as part of the Regional Connectivity Program, a spokesman with the telecommunications provider has told the Express. The project will deliver a new 4GX Telstra Small Cell in Fryerstown, providing dedicated coverage and capacity to the local community and improving mobile voice and data connectivity for residents and visitors in the area, he said. A Telstra spokesman said it will be the first dedicated Telstra site in Fryerstown and will improve depth of coverage. "The works are due to start in the next few months subject to approvals under the (federal) Mobile Base Station Deployment Code," he said. He said that while a site has yet to be determined it will be situated somewhere within Fryerstown itself.
“This new Telstra Small Cell will greatly improve connectivity for residents, businesses and visitors and help keep the community connected in times of high bushfire risk,” Telstra's acting regional general manager Marcus Swinburne said. “We know better than anyone the challenges involved in connecting regional and remote communities. “Joint funding programs like the RCP and the Mobile Black Spot Program are essential in helping deliver better communications for regional and remote locations.” The new 4GX small cell is expected to deliver new and improved coverage to more than 100 homes and businesses in the area. A Telstra spokesman told the Express that regional Australia will benefit from an additional 42 telecommunications infrastructure projects that Telstra is expected to deliver under the federal Regional Connectivity Program. "This brings our co-investment partnership with the government on the RCP to a total of 72 sites around the country with Telstra investing over $24 million of its own capital toward the build," he said. "These projects include new mobile towers and delivery of improved high-speed broadband services in areas which need it the most."

The Woodend Winter Arts Festival returns this weekend. The revised program showcases select events which each have the classic hallmarks of what the festival has become famous for over the past 15 years: worldclass showcase of vibrant, traditional and thought-provoking performances and events in the heart of one of Victoria’s best food and wine regions. If you’ve been dreaming of overseas travel, you will have the chance to luxuriate in a little piece of Italy thanks to the 2021 program. Determined to keep the international performers on the schedule, festival favourite, violinist Davide Monti will be there virtually and will take audiences on tour of the 16th century Villa Verità Fraccaroli in Verona, Italy. He and partner Maria Cleary (harp) will perform Delighting Daphne which will include musical works by composers including Uccellini, Schmelzer, Trabaci, Leonarda, Döbel, Böddecker; a concert where music mirrors the historical architectural space. Usually the festival features at least one performance with a piano – this year that wasn’t practical, but the harpsichord remains in the line-up with festival artistic director Jacqueline Ogeil, who will be flanked by violinist Natalia Harvey and Laura Vaughan on viola de gamba to perform Pièces de Clavecin en Concerts by Jean-Philippe Rameau. Published in 1741, Rameau composed specifically for this trio of instruments to work together in what is essentially harpsichord concertos with 16 movements and endless variety and novelty.

Organised by Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s WayOut program, meetings are held in different locations across the Macedon Ranges. Research has shown that young people with diverse sexuality and gender identities experience higher rates of anxiety, eating disorders, depression, social phobia and suicidal thoughts than their peers. Having the support from parents and other family members has been found to improve the mental health of young people. Previous PERK group members have reported that connecting with other parents of LGBTIQA+ children has given them the confidence to offer more effective support and a deeper understand of what their child is going through. The next meeting is on Wednesday July 14 in Woodend at 5.30pm to 7pm. For details, contact WayOut on 5421 1666 or email healthpromotion@scchc. org.au

Kalamazoo Resources Limited (ASX: KZR) is a gold exploration company with a primary focus on identifying commercial gold deposits within the central Victorian Goldfields consisting of two key projects. Our Castlemaine Gold Project is located approximately 100km NW of Melbourne. It consists of three granted licences (EL6679, EL6752 and EL7112) which lie East and South of the Castlemaine township, covering most of the historic Castlemaine Goldfield. Our South Muckleford Gold Project is located approximately 150km NW of Melbourne. It consists of two granted licences (EL6959 and EL7021). This project is located only 10km from the Castlemaine Gold Project.

Thanks for the welcome, a show to celebrate Much loved Castlemaine storyteller and musician Jan ‘Yarn” Wositzky is getting set to deliver a special show celebrating half a century of entertaining audiences... Eve Lamb Popular Castlemaine entertainer, storyteller and musician Jan Wositzky is getting set to celebrate half a century in the business of entertaining others the way he knows best - with a show. Maldon's atmospheric SteamRoller venue at the town's vintage machinery museum will set the scene for the much-loved performer's Thank You For The Welcome show set for the evening of Saturday July 17. For the past five decades Jan 'Yarn' Wositzky has been entertaining others with his live music and unique Aussie-flavoured yarn-spinning. "I’m lucky. I’ve done what I wanted, what I loved to do, and got away with it so far," the entertainer told the Express ahead of this month's show. His time entertaining audiences spans his days with The Bushwackers to his acclaimed one-man shows, such as The Go-Between: William Murrungurk Buckley, which proved particularly popular with audiences. As a playwright and performer the longtime local has become part of Australia’s cultural conscience. "Given so many people spend a lot of their lives in jobs they resent or a bored with, to do what you love is a gift," he muses. "The other thing for me is that being a migrant, from a Scots-Czech family, my
work in Australian stories and music has created a home here for myself," he says. "I think I needed to do it, psychologically, to work out this land which was new to me when I was a boy. "You never quite lose the outsider’s eye, but knowing the songs and stories that I do has allowed me to feel very comfortable here." For this month's special 50 year celebration gig Jan will be accompanied by Jack Norton with the live performance to be filmed and the unique Maldon SteamRoller venue set up theatre-style. "I’m working toward a recording of the song Thank You For The Welcome," Jan says. "I’d like to get it out there. This show is a welcome return to playing more music than I have for a couple of decades, and so with a wonderful musician like Jack Norton in the show, I’m hopefully getting some of my chops back together again. "And there’s a book in my head, but I keep getting too distracted, but maybe sooner or later … "When I stop and contemplate I feel gratitude towards all the people I’ve worked with - some prodigious musicians, talented theatre directors such as Paul Hampton and Sue Ingleton here in Castlemaine from whom I’ve learnt a lot of stuff, band mates who slogged it out together for many long nights on the road, like brothers, all that," Jan says. "After this I can retire. No, just kidding..."

Wednesday marked an historic day for the Maldon township with work beginning to remove power poles and lines following the completion of the long awaited project to move the town's power underground. The major milestone in the multi-million project to revitalise the streetscapes of the historic township was made possible by support from the state government. Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards joined working group members, community members, Mount Alexander Shire Council staff to witness the teams from Powercor and contractors R & R McClure Castlemaine remove the first power pole near the Kangaroo Hotel in Fountain Street. The Maldon Revitalisation project has been backed by a $4.5 million investment from the state government’s Building Works package. This project has created 17 construc-
tion jobs and will revitalise Maldon’s town centre, while protecting and enhancing its heritage features, further boosting tourism to the region. The significant upgrade will improve the public space including traffic flow and pedestrian access, underground overhead power and rejuvenate the town’s shopfronts. It aims to drive visitation and restore the town’s historic charm. Ms Edwards thanked local business operators and the community for their support of this important step in the project. “The residents and business owners of Maldon will be celebrating this exciting milestone in the Maldon Streetscape Revitalisation Project as today marks an important stage in preserving the historic streetscape for generations to come," she said.

Say ‘no’ to single-use this month
Efforts to reduce single-use plastics are stepping up in the Macedon Ranges this month. Macedon Ranges Shire Council has taken on the Plastic Free July challenge and is encouraging individuals and businesses to do the same. Council staff are taking on personal plastic-free challenges and sharing information about how the community can reduce their footprint too. "Plastic Free July is one of the many opportunities to work together on reducing plastic waste," said Mayor Jennifer Anderson. "This is especially so for the plastic waste we may otherwise send to landfill. We also want to reduce the use of fossil fuels in the production of singleuse plastics in the first place.” The council has developed a towards zero single-use plastics action plan for phasing out single-use plastics within council operations and assisting the community and businesses to follow. “We’ve supported Plastic Free July over the years, and in 2021, the council
is stepping up its involvement to bring the community together on the issue of waste reduction,” said Mayor Anderson. “Residents of the Macedon Ranges will find many local businesses already provide great alternative ways of packaging goods. These alternatives include plastic Free, long-lasting, reusable and easily recyclable products. This is a great opportunity to buy local while taking the challenge of Plastic Free July. “Once you start making some changes during Plastic Free July, you will learn how easy it is to continue them as part of everyday activities and choose non-plastic alternatives almost every time.” Last year, an estimated 326 million people worldwide took part in the Plastic Free July challenge to reduce their household waste and recycling by almost five per cent (or 21kg) on average. To participate in this free program visit plasticfreejuly.org and choose to eliminate some single-use plastics from your use.

Firearms amnesty launches
NEW OPENING TIMES
Victorians are being urged to hand in any unwanted, unregistered or illegal firearms as part of a national amnesty which launched last week. The permanent national firearms amnesty, an Australian first, allows members of the public to anonymously surrender any illegal or unregistered firearms, parts or ammunition in their possession without fear of prosecution. In Victoria, anyone in possession of illegal or unregistered firearms, parts or ammunition is strongly advised to surrender these to their nearest licensed firearm dealers in the first instance. The licensed firearms dealers will arrange destruction of these items upon surrender, or if the individual is appropriately licensed, they may be able to register unregistered firearms. People are advised not to surrender any firearms to police stations during the amnesty. Details on the amnesty can be found online at: crimestoppers.com.au

ADVERTORIAL
Next generation taking over the reins at L & G Sheppard and Sons A new era of farm machinery has dawned in the Kyneton area with new owners Travis and Alex Young taking over the management of L & G Sheppard and Sons. Originally started in 1966 by Brian and Dennis Sheppard, the dealership has developed an enviable reputation for providing outstanding sales and service to farmers and acreage holders in the Macedon Ranges with high quality brands and products. New owners Travis and Alex Young have moved the business to a new location at 120 Piper Street, Kyneton and will con-
tinue to offer world famous farm machinery brands such as Massey Ferguson and Iseki. “We’re very excited to be taking over such an iconic business in the area and we’re looking forward to supporting our local customers,” says Travis Young. “Both Alex and I are locals and we have a long family history in Kyneton which gives us a great understanding of the farming community and the services they require,” adds Travis. In addition to great customer support, a key to the success of the dealership is the range of farm machinery on offer with
brands like Massey Ferguson and Iseki. Massey Ferguson has a full product line from 23hp to 370hp tractors plus a complete range of hay equipment including balers and hay tools, while Iseki offers a professional line of high quality groundscare equipment and compact tractors. “We believe we have the best products on the market that are ideally suited for customers in the region,” says Travis. “We can offer low and high horsepower tractors at varying spec levels to suit different requirements and budgets plus one of the most extensive hay ranges available today
including round and square balers, and all types of hay tools,” adds Travis. The new owners have also invested heavily into the new premises, revamping the old Elders building with a major facelift and reconfiguration to the showroom, parts and service areas. “We’ve got a great team onboard, fantastic new premises and we’re raring to go, so come on down and visit us and we’ll get your machinery needs sorted,” adds Travis.

Get to know your local beekeepers at the Kyneton Farmers’ Market. Local honey is all the buzz at Kyneton Farmers' Market. Rob Howe started his career as a labourer for a family run, large beekeeping operation. Today he and his partner Nett, have a proven track record in beekeeping and high quality honey production. Like many small producers they rely on “off farm” income. Bush Track Bees forage river gums and box/ironbark forests and locations throughout Central Victoria and the Mallee district. The unique and diverse flora of this region produces healthy bees and top quality honey. Their small number of hives produce unique batches of unblended, single extract honeys which are consistently delicious and great value. Kyneton Farmers Market is the only market that Bush Track Bees attend. As longstanding stallholders, many locals love them and their honey and can try it at the market this Saturday. Wondermazing Honeybees in Macedon began with the idea of having a backyard beehive to help pollination in the vegie garden. Dr Natalie Doran-Brown, an agricultural research scientist from the University of Melbourne had no idea what was to unfold after relocating their first swarm of bees hiding under a backyard trampoline in Gisborne. By the end of the season they had 40 beehives and it was clear that her husband loved bees so much he would have to give up his day job. They knew that there was a lot to learn. Natalie focussed on queen breeding, bee nutrition and bee research and her hus-
band looked after bee relocations. Over time their activities were resulting in a lot of honey. It was then that Wondermazing Honeybees was created to sell a range of bee products that started with honey and then, much to the surprise of two non-drinkers, the alcoholic beverage mead made from fermented honey. Fans of mead will love the fact that Wondermazing mead uses a long ferment of 12-24 months. Pure beeswax, candles and beeswax food wraps a sustainable option to plastic food wraps are also part of Wondermazing’s product range. When asked about their favourite way to eat honey, the answer was unanimous – with a spoon out of one of the 20 jars in the kitchen! Find out all about bees and their products at Kyneton Farmers Market this Saturday. Australian Honey Buying Guide Look for a label that says “unblended”. Unblended honey comes from the bees feeding from one location, this might be an orchard, a lavender field or local forest with a predominance of one type of flowering gum. When you buy honey at a farmers market you will be talking first hand to the beekeeper or experienced workers who will be able to tell you what location, and flowers contributed to the unique flavour of the honey even if it’s not labelled. Studies have shown that some commercial honey may contain a blend of Australian and overseas honey. Buying a local honey means you get what you thought you paid for.

Whatever age you are, friendships can be one of the most important things in your life making a significant difference to a person’s happiness, health, and wellbeing. How we connect socially has been a hot topic in the past 12 months as we have learnt new ways to remain connected and make meaningful relationships. For those with an intellectual disability or autism navigating this can be even more difficult, putting people at greater risk of isolation and loneliness. A free webinar is being held next week which explores ways to help people with a disability or autism to develop and nurture friendships and local connections with a range of people, particularly those without disabilities. Expanding the networks of people with an intellectual disability with other community members has the added benefit of promoting diversity and understanding. The ‘Fostering Relationships’ webinar is being organised by Belonging Matters in conjunction with Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health and is on Tuesday July 13 between 10am and 12.30pm. For bookings, contact Belonging Matters on 9739 8333 or visit: eventbrite.com.au

Fair share for repair The cost of servicing and repairing a car is set to become fairer and perhaps cheaper after the federal government passed legislation in parliament recently. The reforms will establish a mandatory scheme for car manufacturers to share motor vehicle service and repair information with independent repairers at a fair market price. Assistant Treasurer Michael Sukkar said this will allow independent repairers access to service and repair data for their customers, making the market more competitive and providing more options for car owners to choose their repairer. “This is a huge win for car owners. The average household spends more than $1500 a year on servicing and repairing their car. By levelling the playing field for independent repairers and creating a more competitive market, these reforms will bring down the cost of owning a car,” Minister Sukkar said. “Currently, independent repairers can lose work when they are not able to access the information they need to repair or service a car, despite being trained to do the job. Under these reforms, consumers will be able to go to a repairer of their choice, without having to worry about whether they have the information to do the job." The government is working closely with industry to ensure they are prepared for the scheme and will provide a $250,000 grant to a joint industry-led organisation which will provide technical advice and run an online portal to help facilitate the sharing of scheme information between car manufacturers and repairers.
More drug tests save lives Conducting 100,000 drug tests every 12 months has prevented more than 33 road fatalities and nearly 80 serious injuries each year from 2016-2018 according to a Monash University Accident Research Centre study. The study also highlights the times and days when alcohol, cannabis and methamphetamine are most likely to be present in drivers who are involved in crashes, and a breakdown of the levels of drugs and alcohol detected.
Drink and drug driving are among the most significant factors in deaths and serious injuries on Victorian roads. In the past five years, 18 per cent of drivers and motorcyclists killed in Victoria had illegal blood alcohol levels, and 41 per cent had drugs, both legal and illegal, in their system. The study looked at the effectiveness of a $9.8 million investment by the state government to increase drug test from 42,000 in 2015 at year to 100,000 from 2017 onwards.

you don’t claim a deduction, you won’t get it. Plenty of people miss out because they didn’t know to ask. Don’t copy and paste last year’s deductions into this year’s return; it’s another surefire way to poke the bear. “You can cut your own hair, but you’ll get a better result if you see a professional. It’s the same with completing your tax return. If you see a tax agent, you can be confident you’re paying the right amount of tax and getting the maximum refund you’re entitled to,” Ms Kasapidis says. COVID-19 tax issues COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on taxpayers’ incomes. “This is the first full income year in a COVID-environment. We expect many employees’ tax returns will include COVID-related items,” Ms Kasapidis says. Employees who spent time working from home may be entitled to claim a deduction for expenses such as electricity and the internet. “The ATO’s shortcut method is suitable for many taxpayers and will save time and effort.” Other methods may be more suitable for employees who’ve spent a larger amount on home office expenses, such as furniture and air-conditioning. “Tradies are often familiar with depreciation on tools and vehicles, but many whitecollar workers haven’t used this deduction before and may overlook it.” Employees who lost their jobs or worked reduced hours may have received a mix of government allowances, salaries and redundancy payouts during the financial year. “It may come as a surprise to many people to learn that their JobSeeker and redundancy payments are taxable.” Some work-related expenses are less likely to appear in employees’ tax returns this year. “COVID-19 has significantly decreased international and interstate trips as well as local travel. The ATO is expecting reduced travel and motor vehicle expenses and will be checking unusual claims,” Ms Kasapidis says.

“Don’t poke the bear” - that's one of the top tips listed by professional accounting body CPA Australia which says a sure-fire way to do this is to omit income from your tax return. “Most transactions where money changes hands leave a digital footprint and the ATO has even greater information gathering powers than the police," Senior Manager Tax Policy Elinor Kasapidis says. “If you’re thinking of playing hide and seek with the ATO, don’t expect them to close their eyes and count to 10. Assume they have full line of sight on your income and don’t poke the bear.” Other than accountants, MsKasapidis agrees that most people don’t find doing tax fun. But she says it’s worth reminding ourselves of the value of paying taxes and what we receive in return. “People sometimes forget that paying tax is a good thing. The past 18 months is a great reminder of why we do it. The economic stimulus that kept millions of Australians and small businesses afloat during the pandemic is being paid for with our taxes.” Ms Kasapidis says it’s legal to maximise your tax refund and that’s what your accountant is trying to help people do. "It’s not legal to avoid paying tax, so we’re also trying to help people avoid breaking the law.” According to Ms Kasapidis, Australia has one of the most complex tax systems in the world, but for most employees it boils down to a few simple principles: * If you earned money, you need to report it. * If you can't prove an expense, you can’t claim it. * If you want to make sure you’ve got it right, see a tax agent. “Employees’ starting positions should be, if you earned money, you need to report it. Then claim your deductions and pay tax on the difference. “Claiming deductions for work expenses is the single biggest area where people go wrong; both by claiming too much or not enough. The way the tax system works, if

Kyneton residents have petitioned Macedon Ranges Shire Council for two additional public toilet blocks to be built along the Campaspe River Walk. The petition had 250 signatures, seeking a toilet block adjacent to the new outdoor fitness station near the walk in St Agnes Place and at Quarry Reserve near the rotunda and barbecue facilities. The petition was noted at the council's meeting last month and council will investigate, returning a report for council consideration.

Macedon Ranges region schools will benefit from $913,000 in state government funding. Four primary schools have received funds for high priority maintenance tasks identified in the school's Specialist Assessment to address school's roof plumbing and/or structural issues. The schools are: Lancefield ($245,000), Romsey ($40,000), Tylden ($15,000), and Newham ($10,000). Darraweit Guim Primary School has been allocated $40,000 for works on the school's 'Shelter in Place' building. These works will be delivered by the Victorian School Building Authority on behalf of the school. Twenty six schools will be better prepared for the coming bushfire season with $557,004 through the the state government's Bushfire Preparedness (Vegetation) Program for 2021-22. Gisborne Secondary College and Kyneton Secondary College will share in $26,000 from the VCE Collaboration Fund which gives regional and rural students access to the full range of VCE subjects. The program aims to support students to pursue their chosen educational, training and vocational pathways.

In light of recent weather events and the dead of winter approaching, now is the best time to prepare your home for winter. The key to creating a thermally comfortable home is underpinned by three things: insulation, draught-prooffing and adequate window coverings. Through ensuring these three things are good, your home will be better able to hold on to heat on those cold nights. Outside of these passive design principles, there are a plethora of low cost to no cost tips anyone can implement to make their home comfortable. Tips for saving energy and keeping warm: 1. Heat naturally during winter, prevent heat loss by shutting windows and doors and closing curtains at night, and opening during the day to let the sun in. 2. If you use a reverse-cycle air conditioner, during cooler weather – set your air conditioner to “heating” mode between 18-21 oC. For every 1 oC you set it above this, it roughly equates to a 10 per cent increase in running cost. 3. Personal heating habits – use a heated throw rug before turning the heater on. This will make you feel warm faster and costs about 3 cents per hour to run. 4. Shop around for a better deal on your electricity. Most households can save hundreds of dollars a year, simply by switching retailer or getting a better deal from their retailer. Visit: compare.energy.vic.gov.au/government to compare your energy plan with other retailer offers. 5. Investigate solar and offset your winter heating bill. Free workshop There's a chance to join a free webinar and learn what you need to do in your home to ensure it's comfortable, efficient and safe. The information session is brought to you by Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group and the Australian Energy Foundation. The session aims to help you understand key principles in thermal design, how solar and batteries work, find out how to get the right system for your home, expected savings and payback, and understand how to claim government rebates. If you have any question about energy efficiency in your home, reach out to the Australian Energy Foundation on 1300 23 68 55, who can give you free independent advice for your home. This service is free to all residents and is funded by Macedon Ranges Shire.

Impressive at Bendigo Some great gallopers have been prepared at Macedon Lodge over the years for seven-times Melbourne Cup winning owner Lloyd Williams, and his Irish import Hosier was extremely impressive in winning at Bendigo on Thursday. Trained by Robert Hickmott, Hosier won easily on his Australian debut at Bendigo on June 5, and followed up by leading all the way over 1600m on Thursday at his fourth start, at the prohibitive odds of $1.30. Experienced jockey Ben Melham was pleased with Hosier’s run, as the four-year-old romped home by four lengths. Hosier is expected to contest higher grade races in the future, and there is already speculation he could be one of the stars this spring.
Bowls news
It may be not far into winter, but several district bowling clubs are planning ahead for the 2021-2022 season. Lancefield won the division one Central Highlands pennant last season, and the club’s annual meeting is to take place at the clubhouse at 2pm this Sunday, July 11. While some of the board members are re-nominating, there is expected to some changes – a new president and secretary are likely to be elected. All club members, and anyone interested in joining the club, is very welcome. Afternoon tea will follow formalities (bring a plate if you can).
Harry Sheahan
Isobella Collins
Lucas Cavigan
Cricket Victoria has included three talented young cricketers from the Macedon Ranges in its Emerging Players’ Program. Kyneton’s Harry Sheahan, along with Romsey’s Isabella Collins and Lucas Cavigan, were notified of their selection last week, and are very keen to pursue this opportunity to improve their cricket. The teenage trio all come from strong cricketing families, and have impressive credentials to warrant their inclusion in the emerging players’ country squads. In contrast to many years ago, when talented young players found themselves “stuck” in grassroots cricket, there are now many paths leading to top level competition. Harry Sheahan is a keen cricketer and footballer who is in Year 10 at Sacred Heart College. His father Brendan is a cricket coach with Kyneton. A left-arm pace bowler, Harry has been playing with Kyneton’s under age and senior sides, and representing the GDCA at Country
Week, also playing in the Dowling Shield. Lucas Cavigan, 15, opens the batting for the strong Assumption College First XI, even though he is in Year 9. He scored the most runs and won the batting average last season. He has also been playing with Essendon and Coburg and is regarded as a top batting prospect, as evidenced by performances at various levels including the Dowling Shield, Country Week, and Youth Premier League.. Isabella Collins, 15, has older brother Will as a mentor and her father who played in England and is Romsey CC secretary and junior coach is encouraging her to pursue her dreams. Will is presently sidelined with a shoulder injury. A right arm pace bowler and batter, Isobella’s love for the sport came after moving to Romsey and playing at U13 and U15 levels with the boys; then joining an all-girls team at Riddell. Isobella graduated to the GDCA representative and Central Highlands teams, and playing with Coburg has given her experi-
ence with the metro side of the game. She has also played in the Mel Jones Shield. Aiming high, Isobella hopes to be selected in Assumption’s 2nds side next season, and one day she hopes she can push for a place in the top XI. Netball is another interest. Isabella had been looking forward to playing in Darwin with Cricket Without Borders girls’ team in the July school holidays, but the trip was called off last week due to the Northern Territory COVID situation. She is very disappointed with the last-minute cancellation after working hard to raise the funding to cover her flights and accommodation. “We’ve got a very exciting group of talented players coming through at Under 17 level,” CV programs manager Tom Evans said. Harry and Lucas are in the U17 Victoria Country Squad; Isobella is in the Under 16 female squad. Everyone in the GDCA wishes these young players well as they embark on a challenging and hopefully rewarding programs.

GOLF results
KYNETON Three consistent rounds enabled Denise Murphy (pictured) to take out Kyneton Golf Club-s 54-hole Min Ferris Memorial event for the ninth time. Murphy’s nett tally of 75, 75 and 76 for a 226 aggregate saw her finish two shots ahead of Marian Orr 67, 81, 80 – 228 and Marg Scoble 77, 83, 71 – 231. Scoble was the A-grade 18-hole winner last week with 93-22-71 from Murphy 92-16-76, with Teaote Davies 106-27-79 edging out Orr 113-22-80 in B-grade. NTPs went to Lois Scott (2), Scoble and Trentham’s Helen Young. Wednesday stableford: 27 players braved tough conditions with A-grade going to Tien Ho (27) with 35 points, B-grade to Peter Kewnick (21) 34) and the women’s event to Teaote Davies. Wally Stys and David Austin were NTP. A field of 45 turned out for the July medal on Saturday, with B-grader Noel Alldis the medal winner with 89-16-73.
A-grade went to David Moore 83-8-74 from Mark Sciberas 83-8-74. Trentham players Michael Hogan 9525-70 and Bradley Duncan 95-21-74 were the respective winner and runner-up in C-grade, and Trentham’s Michael Archer 91-17-74 was the B-grade runner-up. NTPs went to Archer, Tien Ho and Tony Dibella. LANCEFIELD Mark Andrews had a clear cut victory in Lancefield Golf Club’s monthly medal event on Saturday. Good scores were scarce in the heavy conditions, but B-grader Andrews excelled with 85-15-70. The A-grade award went to Gary Dudderidge with 83-9-74, and David Mannix 97-23-74 topped C-grade. Rain prevented any play last Wednesday, but the men’s mid-week stablefrfd went to Alexander Webb (handicap 36) with 39 points, from Ken Murchison (21) on 35. The popular Christmas in July function is on Friday, July 30, with tickets now available. ROMSEY In recent weeks there’s been footage of people stripping off and charging into freezing rivers or lakes to celebrate the winter solstice. Romsey Golf Club does something similar – playing golf under freezing conditions on a very soggy course, with sleet and snow predicted. Debatable about who’s the most sane! Saturday’s Medal of Medalists field was greatly reduced as many medal events had not been played over the last two seasons.
Some steady golf under tough conditions and a lost ball here and out of bounds there was all it took to enable Rob Rea, one of the club’s most experienced players, to take out the MoM prize. Rea finished with 93-19-74, with Scott Williams 98-14-84 next best (also NTP). The four-ball aggregate stableford came down to two teams in contention as others dropped away. Winners were Pat Chisholm (12 handicap ) and Mick Nicholls Jnr (20) with 58 points, from Mal Mottram (7) and Anthony Lakey (19) on 54. Last Wednesday the women’s June medal was won by Jenny Hartley 108-2484 from Beryl Cole 116-30-86. Daily comp: Pat Chisholm 87-12-75 from Rob Slade 99-18-81 who was also best putter (30) on a countback from Beryl Cole. WOODEND Only a small field turned out in tough conditions for Woodend’s July medal event on Saturday. James O’Brien 78-12-66 took out the day’s event on a countback from low marker Andrew Davies 67-1-66, and they will eventually play-off for the medal. Nearest the pins went to Davies and Barney Hearnden. After an inspection by the shire’s building surveyor, appreciated remedial work was carried out last week on slippery areas near the clubhouse, using blockades and crushed rock. With club memberships spiralling over the past year, Woodend is now offering a special new member offer at the bargain basement annual fee of $250 (not open to anyone who has been a member in the past two years).
MT MACEDON It was clearly ‘Men for all Seasons’ in Mt Macedon’s stableford event last Wednesday. Blustery wind was followed by the odd glimpse of sun before intermittent showers swept down from the mount at intervals. Tough pins positions, flukey weather and heavy ground underfoot tested the field, with only Mike Hoiles (14) playing to his handicap to take out A-grade with 36 points, from new C-grade champion Isaac Golden (16) runner-up on 31 from Ian Gill on a countback. Rob Devereux and Jeremy Clare, both 20 handicappers, carded 30 points with the former winning B-grade on a countback. Saturday morning players had eight teams on the drying course in the threeperson gentsomes. Winners with 81 points were Trevor Atkins, John Dawson and Ian Gill, two clear of tail end snails Mark Burrage, Jeremy Clare and Tony Carter. TRENTHAM Trentham Golf Club really appreciates the widespread assistance in cleaning up severe storm damage, with the course still not able to be re-opened for golf. Last Wednesday members, greens staff and 11 greenkeepers from Melbourne clubs turned out to help. Arborists have been working to clear hanging limbs, and remove several ‘suspect’ trees which pose danger. Other district clubs have been welcoming Trentham members itching for a game of golf. Favourable weather conditions should assist in the clean-up being completed and the course re-opened.

The Saints roll on “Sainter”
The inequalities between football teams near the top of the ladder and those languishing in the lower half were emphasised again at Trentham on Saturday. Unbeaten Trentham seniors sits in second place, behind Harcourt on percentage, and visitors Navarre are in tenth spot. On a very chilly day Trentham controlled play in the wet and muddy conditions, despite Navarre trying to stop the onslaught. The Saints held a big lead at half time, and went on to a percentage boosting 19.20 (134) to 2.1 (13) victory. Goals were shared around, with multiple scorers being Cooper Webber-Mirkin 4, Jake Keogh, Joel Brown, Alister Steen and J. Steen all 2. Best players were Joel Dovaston, Riley Matricardi, Zach Gervosoni, Ryan Bourke and Joel Cowan. Ladder: Harcourt 32, Trentham 32, Carisbrook 32, Lexton 24, Maldon 20, Avoca 16, Natte Bealiba 12, Talbot 12, Newstead 12, Navarre 12, Royal Park, 8, Maryborough Rovers 4, Dunolly 0. Trentham Reserves enjoyed a runaway win for the second match in succession, with good ball movement and skills being a stand out in the conditions. The final score was 25.18 (168) to a solitary point.
The Saints main goalkickers were Mitchell Quarrier 4, Quinn Kinnell, Jack Powell and Marcello Matricardi 3, James Cann and Jonathon Nadin 2. Best players were Cann, Matthew Law, Kinnell, Trent Davey, Paul Smith and Quarrier. NETBALLERS DO WELL Trentham’s netballers had a relatively successful day, with all but the Under 13s winning their games. The A-graders were hungry for another victory after a loss in the previous round, and after a close battle they surged late for a 44-37 margin. Hayley Bourke, Sharna Ford and Elly Rose were named as best. The B-graders had their best game for the season, moving the ball smoothly and connecting well at both ends of the court. Navarre tried hard before going down 35-20, with Elly Rose and Joss West the Saints’ standouts. While the Saints had a 25-8 victory in C-grade, the match was soured when a Navarre player sustained a serious knee injury. Kasey Evans, Jamieson Purcell and Madelaine Matheson were named in the best. This weekend the Saints play at home against Maryborough Rovers, with the senior men’s team aiming to remain unbeaten. Again another fine weekend of footy and netball at Trentham.

Blockbuster at Macedon Bill West
Macedon senior footballers have lost just one match this season – to Woodend-Hesket by five points on May 15. This Saturday sees a return bout between the two neighbouring clubs at Tony Clarke Reserve. The Cats, with players of the calibre of Jason Cooke and Dan Markworth sidelined, won by 102 points against cellar dweller Western Rams on Saturday and cannot afford a loss in the battle for the double chance. It’s a final four now. On the other hand the Hawks have promised much, beaten by 10 points by third-placed Riddell on June 26 then keeping a usually high scoring Wallan largely under control until the last quarter at the weekend.. This may be the last chance for the Hawks to stay in touch with the top four, and both sides will be hoping for drier conditions than those of the past two rounds.
The other big match sees third-placed Riddell go to Diggers Rest. The Bombers won by four goals at their earlier encounter this season, but the Burras appear to be rejuvenated and a tough encounter looms. Riddell could only defeat Lancefield by 20 points in a very low scoring match at Tigerland on Saturday, and it was hard to line up form. The Bombers would like to win for a couple of reasons – the main one to consolidate in the top four and stay in the hunt for the double chance. Lancefield did well on Saturday but face up to Wallan at Magpieland; a tough ask for Tom Waters’ Tigers who must have been pleased with the effort against Riddell. Wet conditions have brought a different dimension to a season already interrupted by COVID. Everyone must be hoping the Riddell League’s fixture can now run to plan up to finals time. For some reason six of the nine clubs
Century well out of reach With half the season over, there’s no hope of any goalkicking records being broken in the Riddell League. Highly elusive and skilled Wallan spearhead Matt Perri, pictured recovering from a collision during the second quarter of Saturday’s match against Woodend-Hesket, topped the century in 2019 when the Magpies finished runner-up to Rupertswood. Perri finished with three goals on Saturday despite close marking by versatile Hawk James Hepburn, and leads the senior tally with 33 goals. Jack Jedwab (Romsey) is on 26, including two bogs of eight, with Corey Grindlay (Wallan) 23 and Jason Cooke (Macedon) 21 next best.’ Wallan forwards also lead the goalkicking list in the Reserves and Under 19.5s. Reserves: Liam Birch (Wallan) 30, Max Ambler (WoodendHesket) 21, Matt Vanderberg (Riddell) 18, Keiran Haddad and Finn Urie (both Woodend-Hesket) 16.

failed to have any club notes printed in the league’s ‘Record’ publication last Saturday. Several spectators pointed this out as they are interested in what’s going on in other than their own particular club. ‘Club Notes Not Provided’ is not a good look. One of the significant victories on Saturday came in the Reserves, where Woodend-Hesket toppled the previous unbeaten Wallan by 11 points. MAIN MATCH There were plenty of tactical moves in the senior match at Gilbert Gordon Reserve, with Hawks’ coach Ben Tankard intent on stopping the Magpies getting into free flowing mode. This worked in a low scoring first half with both sides struggling to score three goals apiece. There were danger signs for the Hawks in the vital third term, with the Magpies finding more space, but they were still in
contention at the last change. Wallan lifted the tempo in the last quarter to ram home five goals to 1.2, winning by 34 points. Romsey has a good record at Diggers Rest, but the home side rammed home five first quarter goals and were never headed. The final margin was 38 points on a day when Diggers Rest veteran and former captain and coach Shaun Sims played his 350th game for the club. Romsey should find the going much easier against Melton Centrals on Saturday.

Dual D ual n netball etball ccelebrations elebrations
Bill West No wonder these WoodendHesket A-grade netballers were looking happy on Saturday ..... they had just beaten Wallan by eight goals in a crucial match, and also learnt there is going to be a modern strategically placed netball court at Gilbert Gordon Reserve. “To say we are all excited is an understatement,” stated Anne -Louise Lindner, one of the club’s senior coaches, referring to last week’s decision by Macedon Ranges Shire Council to find the funding for a new court to replace the problem riddled one so far from other facilities. “Our players are super excited ... it’s important for our juniors to have a clear pathway to senior ranks. Our court is the only one that gets covered with black ice in winter,” netball director Kellie Duff said. The coaches emphasised the real partnership situation which has developed between senior and junior netball at Woodend in recent years, and the strong support from the football section. They see Gilbert Gordon Reserve becoming one of the premier venues for football and netball in the Riddell League. Carly Arkinstall, coach of the A and B-grade netball sides, is also delighted with the new court guarantee, and the progress being made in seeing local girls reach their potential. “It’s important for juniors to progress to senior ranks,” Duff said. Firmly convinced that young players develop quicker with exposure to a higher brand of netball, said pointed out the way players
from the unbeaten 19 and Under side are capable of being valuable contributors in A-grade. It’s not unusual for some of the talented teenage players to play two matches in the one day. “They (young players) develop their skills much faster this way,” said Duff, who coaches the 19&U girls.. Netball Victoria is very supportive of the new court going ahead, and the provision of eight teams across seniors and juniors at Woodend. Visiting clubs are sometimes not amused about having to play on the court “way up in the corner” with toilets quite a distance away. The proposed new court will be sited near the southern edge of football ground, close to the social club, where the small grandstand stood for some years. The win over Wallan was one of the club’s best A-grade performance in recent years. The Hawks are no longer a “chopping block” in netball, and have real prospects of playing in A-grade finals this season. The fast moving and skilful young side gave highly rated Wallan a start, then produced a brilliant second term to lead at half time by five goals, eventually winning 51-43. Goalshooter Deanne Tuppen, formerly with Seymour, has given the Hawks more scoring power in the top grade this season. Netball round-up At the halfway mark of the season, interest is building as to the likely final four in Riddell League A-grade netball. This Saturday there are two really big matches.
Ladder leader Riddell play second placed Diggers Rest, a side which has recruited strongly and looming as a premiership prospect. Then third-placed WoodendHesket, buoyed by a convincing upset victory over Wallan, go to Macedon where the home side is building momentum for the run towards the finals. The improving Lancefield go to Wallan, where the Magpies will be desperate for the four points. Battling Romsey will be hoping to break through for a victory at home to Melton Centrals. Scores in all grades on Saturday were: Riddell 49 (Tara O’Grady 28 goals from 32 shots) d Lancefield 40 (Jordan Furness 32 goals from 35 attempts). Macedon 64 (Chloe Wilson 52) with wing attack Caitlyn Alfraco and Katie Clarke in fine form) d Western Rams 33.

Mixed fortunes for Magpies
Castlemaine Football Netball Club hit the road again last Saturday travelling up the Calder to tackle South Bendigo at the Queen Elizabeth Oval in round 10 action. The Magpies held their own against the fifth place Bloods in the first quarter kicking two goals to South's four for the term and trailed by 13 points at quarter time. The Magpies continued to thwart the Bloods avenues to goal in the second term allowing them only 2.9 from 11 scoring shots, but unfortunately the visitors could not register anything at the other end of the park and were kept scoreless for the quarter. At half time 34 points separated the sides. The Bloods shook the Pies off their backs in the third term kicking another 4.5 to Castlemaine's one straight kick and had increased their advantage to 57 points at three quarter time. Sadly the Magpies ran out of legs in the final term as the Bloods steamrolled home with another eight goals to win by 112 points. Young gun Will Moran was a shining light for the Pies with two goals for the day and Jack Chester never gave up nabbing a crucial goal. Other top contributors were Liam Wilkinson, stalwart Dave Stephens, Jack Chester, Declan Slingo, Riley Pedretti and Zane Doherty.
In the Reserves the Bloods smashed through five quick goals in the opening term to secure a commanding lead at quarter time and the young Magpie side were unable to recover despite their best efforts. At the final siren South ran out winners by 101 points. Brayden Wright once again played a standout game for the Pies along with teammate Nicholas Coates. Other solid contributors were Nicholas O'Brien, Luke Pritchard, James Chaffey and Kohen Williams. In the Under 18s Castlemaine had a well earned win against the Bloods much to the delight of the Magpie faithful. The Magpies kicked three goals to the Bloods one in the opening term and managed to hold them to just one more goal for the match to win by 38 points. Castlemaine 8-4 (52) to South Bendigo 2.2 (14) Goal kickers for the Pies were Jed Denahy 4, Nathan Anderson 2, Angus Waller, Orlando Demaria-O'Sullivan. Best in a great team effort were Angus Waller, Daniel Chaplin, Campbell McLennan, Brodie Browne-Kerr, Charles Keogh, Nathan Anderson. On the netball court Castlemaine's netball sides went down to their in-form South Bendigo counterparts but each produced some valiant performances and continue to show improvement week in and week out.

Bad half, good half for Tigers
KN258468
One of Kyneton's lifetime identities, RossOliver, died in Bendigo on July 1. Talented in many fields over a lengthy period, his passions included lawn bowls, creative arts, theatre, entertainment and history. He had been in ill-health for some time. From 2pm to 5pm this Friday, July 9, his life will be celebrated at Kyneton Bowling Club where he was a multiple times champion (including state), life member and much loved identity.
Kyneton's senior footballers were completely outclassed by a rampant Golden Square in the first half of their match on Saturday. The Tigers looked rudderless and the deficit blew out to 70 points just before half time before Angus Nolte kicked his side's first goal. Then the game took a complete turnaround in the second half as the Tigers revived, produced good team football, and actually outscored their opponents in the second half, much to the delight of coach Paul Chapman and supporters who made the trip north to Wade Street. Square is always a tough proposition at home, and now occupies third spot on the ladder, behind Sandhurst and Strathfieldsaye. Kyneton players wore black armbands in memory of Ross Oliver, who penned the Tigers' theme song. Rhys Magin was congratulated on his 100th game, being one of the outstanding midfielders for Kyneton in recent seasons. It was not a good day for goalkickers on Saturday, with Gisborne ace Pat McKenna held goalless for the first time in 27 games, and Square's Jayden Burke being held to two majors by reliable defender Harrison Huntley. In only the second senior game, teenage Tiger Hamish Yunghanns showed he has a bright future ahead Final score: Golden Square 17.12 (114) d Kyneton 8.8 (56). For goals and best players, see scoreboard section. Earlier in the day, Kyneton also found the great depth and talent of Golden Square's Reserves and Under 18s too much to overcome. Kyneton play South Bendigo at the Queen Elizabeth Oval on Saturday.
Netball While Kyneton’s five netball teams had their colours lowered by Golden Square, the Tigers deserve maximum points for effort. The A-grade match was low scoring in the wet, and Kyneton had key players missing, with mid-courters playing defence and shooters lining up for their second match on the day. There was plenty of intensity, but the home side capitalised better, and ended up with a 20-17 margin. Kyneton’s A Reserve side suffered from unavailability, with B-grade defenders stepping up. The incentive award went to centre player Kaitlyn Turner for her determination and energy. The closest match was in B-grade, with the Tigers leading until the last quarter. Lily Nolte was a standout leader, making space and directing play. The Tigers’ number one supporter chose the best player, and promoted Emily Barbour was selected as she proved her scoring ability. Finally 38-36 to Square. With players away, B Reserve welcomed debutant Samantha Marsh. Despite a 43-18 scoreline the girls showed they are putting training into match day. A special mention to Millie Clifford for her stellar debut (up from U17s), with the incentive award going to Tahlia Levitzke for slick movement in the goal ring and transition into defence. It was goal for goal for much of the U17s match, with the girls’ potential and talent high class. Difficilt to decide on the best on court, with Tahlia Tobin, Bonnie Gread and Tash Barron sharing the award.

The Bulldogs headed north to take on an in-form Strathfieldsaye side anxious to make amends for their one-point defeat at Gardiner Reserve in the opening round. Photo: Gisborne Gazette. 53-26 and 81-14. The highlight was Gisborne’s courageous 43-41 B Reserve grade victory, turning around a 12-goal loss from the first round.
Women step up in class
Gisborne women’s football team tackled undefeated Moonee Valley at the weekend, hoping to make amends for a major loss earlier in the season. A solid effort in the first half restricted the scoring before the top team showed their class in the third term, opening up a 41-point lead. Kirrily Mitchell kicked Gisborne’s sole goal in the final term, providing some reward for the efforts of the midfielders and forwards. Moonee Valley was just too good, although the 55-point loss with Gisborne scoring just 1.2 (8) was not entirely reflective of the team’s efforts for the majority of the game. The Bulldogs’ best were F. Donaldson, C. Prpic, C. Boundon, B. Woodburn, Mitchell and R.Culvenor.
There were multiple lead changes but the Bullldogs maintained composure and minimised their opponent’s scoring chances late in the match. Gisborne B-grade paid the price for fail-

A week’s a short time in football, and Gisborne found this out on Saturday in no uncertain manner. Confident after a resounding victory over the previously unbeaten Sandhurst, the Bulldogs headed north to take on an in-form Strathfieldsaye side anxious to make amends for their one-point defeat at Gardiner Reserve in the opening round. The Storm applied constant pressure, with Gisborne forced to defend for long periods. To their credit, Gisborne stayed in touch on the scoreboard, but the home side always looked dangerous, despite the margin being just 17 points at the last change. Strathfieldsaye outscored the ‘Dogs 4.3 to a point in the last quarter, earning the right to be premiership favourites on what has been revealed so far. Final scores were 10.15 to 5.2 (see details on scoreboard) and Gisborne should bounce back at Gardiner Reserve this Saturday against down-the-ladder Kangaroo Flat. Gisborne Reserves, down one rotation throughout, battled hard against the ladder leaders. Scores were close all the way in a low scoring affair, but the home side managed two goals to one in the final term for a 6.9 to 5.4 victory. Goals came from S. McCaskill 2, J. Keeping, E. McKenna and M. Steinbach. Best for the Bulldogs were A. Whiteford, D. Weaver, McKenna, Steinbach, J. Murphy and L. Hudson. Unbeaten Gisborne Under 18s continued on their merry way, earning a meritorious 11.12 to 1.3 victory over the second-placed Storm. The young Bulldogs are fortunate to have heaps of talent at their disposal and are growing in confidence. NETBALLERS SHINE Gisborne netball sides made a strong start to the second half of the season, coming away with four out of five victories. Though it was cold and wet, the U17s, A-Reserve and A-grade sides played clean and controlled netball to secure and build on sizeable leads in their games. Respective winning scores were 80-14,
