From page 1 "I thought, 'This is why we do train so hard, this is why why we put all that work in. This is why we do it'," he said. The Australian Ballet Company's Regional Tour travels Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and the Northern Territory from July to August. Towns include Launceston, Hobart, Mildura, Bendigo, Broken Hill, Alice Springs and Darwin. The gala program includes a beautiful selection of pas de deux and Swan Lake variations, a tribute to the beauty of Tchaikovsky. James never would have expected the incredible opportunities before him now, when he had his first taste of dance at age seven. He attended a Riddells Creek local studio's jazz class with a friend where his teacher recognised a natural ability and encouraged him to take up ballet. His ballet teacher was former ABS student, Andrew Barneveld, who saw James had potential and took him under his wing. Barneveld took James to a Victorian College of the Arts performance that changed everything. VCASS is a specialist arts secondary college in Melbourne that offers training alongside academic studies. "I thought it was so cool that they got to dance and go to school. It became my dream and I spent two years working hard to get up the standard I needed to audition," James recalled. His dedication and hard work paid off and he spent the

next five years training there. James continued to set new goals for his career. The next was auditioning for The Australian Ballet School. The Melbourne school is highly selective, offering world-class ballet training and many of its students go on to dance for The Australian Ballet Company. James knew the selection process would be rigorous. His first attempt at year 10 was unsuccessful but it only fuelled him to train harder. In his next audition he was selected as one of four to his level from about 60 dancers. He has now been training at the school for the past two years. "It's been such a great experience and it's great to be around other like-minded people and who want the same thing but also supporters of each other," he said. "I'm really grateful for that positive atmosphere that I'm able to train in every day and the teachers are so supportive and full of knowledge. Their past experience is incredible – for them to be teaching us is kind of mind-blowing." Now, in his graduating year, McDonell will have the chance to audition for The Australian Ballet Company and other companies around Australia. There may even be an opportunity to travel internally for his career. "All you can do is hope you've worked hard enough and keep an open mind," he said. "It's scary and daunting but very exciting at the same time." The Regional Tour will be showing at Bendigo's Ulumbarra Theatre on August 5 and 6.

A 38-year-old Kyneton driver has had his licence suspended for six months and will face court for drug driving. Macedon Ranges Highway Patrol intercepted the driver on the Calder Freeway at Harcourt on July 6. The man was submitted to roadside testing, and was subsequently required to accompany police to the Castlemaine police station for further testing. The result of this testing indicated the male had an alcohol concentration of 0.06, as well as returning a drug test positive to cannabis. The man was served a notice of immediate driving ban – suspending his licence immediately for a period of six months. He will be summonsed to appear at court in the near future.

Designs for Old Kyneton Primary School revealed The Old Kyneton Primary School is set to be transformed into a creative precinct made up of eight zones, including a heritage forecourt, a town square, a market square, First Nations gardens and a reimagined play space. Local MP Mary-Anne Thomas launched a masterplan for the precinct last Friday and confirmed both the bluestone building and the other school buildings on the site would be retained. Development of the masterplan – led by future site operator Working Heritage and local architect Winwood McKenzie – is now under way, with community members invited to contribute their views on the future hub. Ms Thomas said it was exciting to see the site take its next steps towards becoming a thriving creative hub. "We encourage everyone to have their say to shape the future of the site,” she said. "Our government has committed $12M to the redevelopment of the site, with the promise that this beautiful bluestone building will become yet another jewel in the crown of central Victoria's creative heart." Ms Thomas said the government's vision was to create a public space in Kyneton that would complement the world-class galleries of the region in Castlemaine,

Bendigo and Ballarat. "We are home to so many artists and creatives and they contribute so much to our community, this is a way to give back and ensure that we can share their talent for the rest of the community to appreciate," she said. "This will become a destination. "The Old Kyneton Primary School will be both a place that is very welcoming to all of the locals, but will also draw visitors to experience all that our fabulous town has to offer." Working Heritage committee of management chair, Kerry Anderson, also attended the launch and said she looked forward to hearing from prospective tenants and users of the site as it forged a new future. "Registrations of interest, for what potential tenants would be interested in the spaces being, is really important to help us fit out the site to meet the needs that are being expressed to us,” Ms Anderson said. "Next year, 2023, the formal process of tenants lodging their interest will be put in place, with the view that by 2024 we will start that transition. "In the meantime, Working Heritage is looking at activating small little pockets, events and things happening on site, so it's not totally being unused."

Ms Anderson encouraged anyone interested in utilising the site – whether they be micro-businesses, makers, artists or community groups – to register their interest via Working Heritage's website. "We have lots of different buildings and we have outdoor spaces as well," she said. Based in Kyneton and Melbourne, Winwood McKenzie specialise in heritage, residential and commercial renovations. Their current projects include the redevelopment of the Northcote Theatre. Architects Fieldwork – whose previous projects include the Collingwood Yards redevelopment – have also been appointed to undertake design work focused on restoring the building for use by local creatives and the broader community. Overseen by Development Victoria through Creative Victoria, this design component of the project has already commenced, with work under way to better understand the site’s current condition.

C c s n t c s co ounde na ed a a d na st Eve Lamb A love of the land and of landcare has seen former Castlemaine Secondary College student Tess Grieves named among the finalists for this year's national Steadfast Young Landcare Leadership Award. Helping to organise the annual Chicks in the Sticks rural women's event, which she co-founded 10 years ago, is just one of the highlights of a job she loves with a passion that comes through when you chat to Tess. It's that passion for what she does that has now seen the longtime local announced as the Victoria finalist for this year's Steadfast Young Landcare Leadership Award. The annual landcare gong acknowledges an individual or a youth group between the ages of 15 – 35 years who promote excellence in landcare through on-ground projects or awareness-raising activities. Tess, who grew up in Elphinstone, was shortlisted thanks to her incredible efforts as a young landcare leader with an unflagging passion for supporting volunteers and engaging new audiences in conservation and caring for the land. This particularly included engaging rural women through the annual Chicks in the Sticks rural women’s events celebrating the achievements of rural women in agriculture and the environment. "This year will be the 10th year that we've hosted it," says Tess who is the regional landcare coordinator with the North Central Catchment Management Authority based in Bendigo. "They're so much fun," Tess says of the annual Chicks in the Sticks events. She also says preparations are well under way for this year's running of the event that's been set for Saturday October 8. "This year's event will be held at Camp David Farm at Spring Hill between Tylden and Kyneton," Tess says. Tess's work regularly brings her to Castlemaine and towns throughout Mount Alexander Shire, like Newstead and Maldon, to catch up with the legion of local landcare volunteers. "It's pretty much the best," is the way she describes her job. The Steadfast Young Landcare Leadership Award will be presented at the National Landcare Conference held in Sydney next month, and Tess says she will be there. She says she was "shocked" to discover she was in the running to win it. "I was immediately shocked about that, but also really humbled," she said. "I get to make a career out of being involved in landcare. It's a dream role." Tess Grieves. Photo: Lena Morrison-van Velsen

Castlemaine's Rod Hadfield is not impressed with what's been appearing in his patch lately. The well-known local hot rod collector and enthusiast says he's disgusted by the amount of litter he's noticed discarded along the Pyrenees Highway at Chewton – a main entry to Castlemaine – over recent weeks. "Where is the pride in our country?" asked the annoyed local. Together with his young granddaughter, Mr Hadfield spent a large chunk of last week picking up the discarded rubbish from a one-kilometre stretch of the Pyrenees Highway, near the Chewton Archery Club, starting from the front of his own property. "What makes it more shameful is that it is only 12 months since I cleaned up the same stretch of road reserve," he said. "On that occasion 113 drink cans and bottles alone were collected, and there must be at least 100 items that could all be recycled that I've picked up this time. "Where are people's consciences? On a recent trip to Japan there was not one piece of litter anywhere in either the city or the country areas. "What must these people think when they witness this behaviour," asked the unimpressed landholder who regularly hosts national and international visitors who visit his property, to see his impressive collection of vehicles including drag cars, hot rods, classics and muscle cars. Having unsightly litter strewn along the roadside reserves is not exactly a good look, the long-time local says. "How are our young people going to learn recycling?" Mr Hadfield's complaints come as Victoria prepares to introduce its new container deposit legislation from next year. In 2021, the state's CDS legislation was drafted and has since become an Act with a 10-cent refund to be given for every eligible drink container including cans, cartons and bottles, when they are returned to a refund collection point. Under the state's new scheme, the returned containers will be recycled and remanufactured into new products, reducing litter and the need for new materials. Charities and not-for-profit organisations – like local scout or guide groups – stand to gain by collecting containers for refunds, running container collection drives or receiving donations with people will be able to donate their refunds. For Mr Hadfield, the practical enactment of the CDS legislation cannot come soon enough.

The resident of the Lancefield-Kilmore Road property reported hearing what sounded like popping noises about 12.30am before venturing outside to investigate. They found the horse stables, adjacent t o the family home, engulfed in flames and raised the alarm. A number of horses were able to be retrieved from the burning stables but it is believed 12 perished. Police said there was nothing to suggest the fire was suspicious, however, a crime scene was set up for a fire investigator to attend.

Mount Macedon has been named winner of the Tiny Town category at the Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards 2022. The village was recognised for its nature-based experiences including Macedon Regional Park and nearby Hanging Rock that can be enjoyed year-round. Macedon Ranges mayor, Cr Jennifer Anderson, said the win was fantastic news for local tourism and hospitality businesses who had been working to recover after impacts of the pandemic and 2021 storm events. “Recognition like this piques the interest of people to come and visit the region to see why it is so special. This will give a welcome boost to our local economy," she said. "I encourage everyone to come and visit, and see why it has been crowned the Victorian Top Tiny Tourism Town. There is so much to see and do and with every season being so different it is worth a return trip to experience them all." The Top Tourism Town Awards recognise and reward Victorian towns that demonstrate a strong commitment to tourism, offer an excellent visitor experience, and show strong collaboration with tourism operators, local businesses and the community. Andrew Towner, Macedon Ranges Accommodation Association president, said the title was a great honour for Mount Macedon. “The award recognises the amazing natural beauty of our region and the hard work of our local businesses, community and council to create exceptional experiences for our visitors," he said.

Pandemic declaration extended

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has extended the pandemic declaration to apply state-wide from 11.59pm on July 12 for three months. The pandemic declaration gives the minister for health the authority to make pandemic orders protecting public health after considering the chief health officer’s advice and other relevant factors, including social and economic factors. Mr Andrews said the extended declaration would enable current pandemic orders to remain in place over winter. "In making the declaration, I am satisfied on reasonable grounds that there continues to be a serious risk to public health throughout Victoria due to the coronavirus disease which requires continued public health and other protective measures to reduce the risk of transmission and hospitalisation," he said. "I have also requested that the minister for health and the chief health officer provide further advice by the end of winter as to whether there continues to be, at that time, a serious risk to public health arising from COVID-19."

If you love singing ... then the community choir that's about to be piloted in Castlemaine – starting tomorrow evening – may be for you. The One More Chorus community choir is the brainchild of talented sister singers, Elsie and Maggie Rigby, who are well known to many as Melbourne folk icons, The Maes. Inspired by the notion that everyone has a voice and can sing, the two have already been successfully running their One More Chorus choir every Monday night in Brunswick. "It is a contemporary community choir that my sister and I started in 2018," says Maggie who recently moved back to her old hometown of Castlemaine. "We run our choir on a drop-in basis and we try to teach a new song each week or two so there's no need to commit to a whole term of Wednesdays. The whole point is the sound we make together in the room on the night. "We welcome members of all ages, all genders and all levels of singing experience and sing contemporary music from Australia and around the world." The sisters' vocal standards, though, are impressive, and they have recently collaborated with Missy Higgins, Liz Stringer, Maple Glider, Ruby Gill and

Didirri among other artists. They will bring the One More Chorus choir to Castlemaine's Theatre Royal at 7pm – initially for tomorrow evening's debut session and then again, same time, the following Wednesday evening, July 20. And they're welcoming anyone and everyone to participate for a nominal cost at the door on the evening, with the hope that the turnout will be sufficient to warrant many more such sessions into the future. "We will look at running more seasons in Castlemaine if this pilot season is successful," Maggie says. "Elsie and I grew up in Castlemaine and our parents, Jane Thompson and James Rigby, ran several local community choirs for most of our childhood including the Chat Warblers, The Peace Choir and the Acafellas. "We went on to form an internationally touring folk band called The Maes but resisted starting a choir for a long time to avoid following too directly in our parents' footsteps. "We found when we finally did start our own choir that it is one of the richest and most rewarding forms of art and community that we have experienced. "Since moving back to Castlemaine in 2020 I have been really looking forward to bringing that experience to my old home town."

e coats not aa d

Animals at Edgar's Mission will be extra cosy this winter thanks to one Sacred Heart College student's upcycle project. Laura Knox decided to use the year-nine project as way to help animals of the Lancefield not-for-profit sanctuary. “I went around op shops and collected blankets, then sewed them into coats in the hope that the lambs could use them,” Laura said. Rescued lambs, Twister and Diamond, both survivors of predator attacks, were only too happy to try on and model their stylish repurposed coats last week. Edgar's Mission founder and director Pam Ahern said it was heart-warming to see young people getting creative to help animals in need. “We are so grateful to Laura and everyone who has donated coats to us. We now have more than enough to keep our lambs snug, warm and fashionable for years to come,” she said. In Australia each year, Ms Ahern said millions of lambs did not survive their first winter due to exposure. “Along with the essential need for shelter, coats are a great way to keep lambs warm from the elements. They can literally be a life saver,” she said. Edgar’s Mission will reopen in spring for pre-booked visitors, offering sanctuary tours for people of all ages, along with school and community groups. “It’s an opportunity for people to meet our rescued residents and hear their unique stories,” Ms Ahern said. “We hope that each person leaves feeling inspired to be kind to animals, just like Laura.” Laura Knox is pictured with lambs Diamond and Twister at Edgar’s Mission.

Managing director Damian Wells said the draft plan considered feedback from customers, including a 32-member Community Panel. “The panel worked for five days to develop recommendations that have been accepted by the Coliban Water Board. The recommendations of the panel, combined with customer feedback we have been gathering over the past five years, inform our draft pricing plan," he said. “The region is at a critical point in its water supply and demand. We are experiencing the effects of climate change, our population is growing and our infrastructure is aging. A key aspect of our plan is to increase capital investment to $435 million for upgrades and renewals of our water service assets including drinking water plants, sewerage treatment facilities and pipe networks in the towns we serve.” Coliban Water is 100 per cent customer

funded, and the water and sewage services in the region are managed and operated on behalf of the community by Coliban Water. “The money that our customers pay through their water and sewer bill goes towards infrastructure and services that benefit the entire community and the environment. Our infrastructure needs constant attention to remain efficient and meet demand,” Mr Wells said. A formal review process of pricing is completed every five years by the independent Essential Services Commission to ensure the outcomes reached. “The plan proposes to phase-in price rises from 2023 to 2028," Mr Wells said. "For the average household, this results in bill increases of about $0.70 per week, excluding inflation. This modest increase will be invested into upgrades and renewals of our assets and supporting customers experiencing vulnerability, while still remaining below the national average water bill." The Community Draft is open throughout the month of July for customer feedback.

The local housing crisis was in focus at the launch of My Home Network’s 10-Year Social and Affordable Housing Strategy last week. The event at Castlemaine Town Hall attracted about 120 people keen to hear from a range of speakers talk on the Mount Alexander Shire’s housing situation and solutions. My Home Network developed the strategy over 12 months in collaboration with local and specialist stakeholders, community and government organisations, community members, lived experience of homelessness and housing crisis, and in consultation with Mount Alexander Shire Council. The strategy sets out the strategic objectives and the short, medium and longer-term priorities, activities and targets needed for affordable housing delivery and reform, as part of a broader and deeper system change required to build a more equitable society. The network is facilitated and coordinated by Central Victoria Prevention and Public Health, Bendigo Health. The crowd heard from local lived experience of housing crisis, the benefits of long-term rental, and MHN coordinator Carolyn Neilson explained the 10-year strategy. Topics also included home share, the Castlemaine Institute Retro-fitting Neighbourhoods project and the council's efforts to optimise opportunities within the state government's Big Housing Build funding. The council is also exploring an opportunity to develop medium-density affordable homes at two Castlemaine sites in Templeton Street. People were invited to sign up to

working groups that were developed to reflect the range of intertwined issues and stakeholders involved in the housing sector. “There are working groups focusing on advocacy, real estate/developers/accommodation providers, tenants’ rights/home share, tiny homes, vacant dwellings and communications,” Ms Neilson said. “People can join any of the working groups according to their particular area

of interest, expertise or passion. “The working groups are a great opportunity to work alongside other community members towards a shared goal.” Ms Neilson said she was “rapt” with the event and the level of community engagement. “The people gathered clearly understood that affordable, safe and secure housing is a basic human right,” she said. “They also appreciated the complexity

Macedon Ranges mayor Jennifer Anderson is on track to achieving her Plastic Free July challenge. Her end-of-month goal is to reduce her soft plastic use to 200 grams and at the end of week one it weighs in at 21 grams. But for Cr Anderson, Plastic Free July goes beyond cutting down single-use plastics. She is using the month to support and learn more about local businesses taking initiative to reduce their waste and has shared her findings with the Express. Woodend Farmers Market Living in Woodend, Cr Anderson frequents the Woodend Farmers Market and took the opportunity this month to talk to the region's producers about their efforts to reduce waste. She said, for some, cost and access could be a barrier. "All those I spoke to are trying to do the right thing but it comes at an increased financial cost," she told the Express. "Simon from Millet Road makers has introduced compostable bags to keep his crumpets in. The entire bag is home compostable if you take the metal seal band off. "I spoke with Raf of Rafael’s coffee. He would love to use fully compostable bags but there is no one on the market currently that can keep the coffee fresh at a price that is reasonable. "He allows Keep Cups, and supports the Wash against Waste van that allows market goers to drink their coffee in a ceramic cup that the Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group volunteers then wash, available for hire by others at events. He now uses a 10-litre milk bladder rather than multiple standard plastic milk cartons." Cr Anderson said another great discovery was that Japanese Ferments sells miso products in glass jars and Red Beard Bakery uses fully compostable cellophane to wrap their bread.

Other findings When going out for coffee, Cr Anderson typically takes along her own Keep Cup. When that wasn't possible this week, she was delighted to learn that Social Foundry in Kyneton uses takeaway coffee cups that are fully repurposed and plant-based with no plastic. At home, Cr Anderson has continued her usual efforts to reduce soft-plastics such as using Richmixfoods, which home delivers of items such as nuts, rice, flour and beans in brown paper bags. However, she has faced some challenges including postal packages that have accounted for most her of her plastics weight this month. One particular frustration was the packaging on a subscription magazine. "It is wrapped in a plastic called “eco pure” which states it is biodegradable," she said. "This product contains enzymes that assist in breaking down plastic but this is actually worse for the planet as the smaller bits are then more dangerous. Plant-based compostable plastics are different. Check labelling and look out for greenwash." End of week thoughts At the end of week one, Cr Anderson said the biggest challenge she had faced was checking labelling. "The most challenging thing has been checking out labelling options and reasons why certain products have been chosen over others," she said. "Avoiding single-use plastics in the first place is the easiest option by use of things such as Keep Cups, as then you don't need to worry about whether labelling is correct or not. "People power does work and the majority of our businesses in Macedon Ranges want to do the right thing. Talk to your suppliers and retailers. Most want to assist." Week 1 weigh-in: 21 grams. End of month goal: 200 grams.

The world’s largest gliding marsupial, Australia’s greater glider, has been listed as endangered. Wombat Forestcare has welcomed the announcement by the Federal Minister for the Environment, Tanya Plibersek, that the southern greater glider (Petauroides volans) has been listed as ‘endangered’. "This listing will hopefully see urgent action to halt their swift decline," spokesperson Gayle Osborne said. "Many people do not realise that we have a population of greater gliders at our doorstep. "The Wombat Forest is the most westerly location for the gliders and the only population west of the Hume Highway." Greater gliders rely on intact and undisturbed mature forest with many tree hollows to survive. They shelter and nest in hollows during the day and come out at night to feed on eucalyptus leaves. Their digestive system is similar to koalas. "These endearing fluffy gliders are the largest gliding mammals in the world and we need to make sure that they continue to exist in the Wombat Forest," Ms Osborne said. An endangered listing means that a species has a high risk of extinction in the short term. Ms Osborne said greater gliders were once common throughout many Victorian forests and had suffered massive habitat loss from the 2019-20 bushfires and from logging. "Only six years ago greater gliders were listed as ‘vulnerable’ to extinction, so this rapid decline is alarming," she said. "The VicForest’ salvage operation in

Unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport will be easier to report through a new Victoria Police service. The service, called STOPIT, allows people subjected to such behaviour or who witness it to discreetly text police using their mobile phone. They then receive a link to provide information to a dedicated team of transit police about what's happened. People using the service will be able to notify police about six types of behaviours comprising unwanted sexual behaviour, suspicious behaviour, threatening and offensive behaviour, obscene and racist language, drug and alcohol-related incidents and graffiti and property damage. They are directed to a digital form and asked to submit details of the incident including the time, date, location and public transport carriage number. A photo may also be submitted if it is safe to capture one. Anyone requiring an immediate police response in an emergency is still advised to phone Triple Zero (000). STOPIT is not monitored live and should not be used if an urgent response is required. To initiate the service, commuters can text ‘STOPIT’ to 0499 455 455. Victoria Police encourages people to save the number to their mobile phone. STOPIT is now available on trains and will be extended to trams and buses in late August.

Greater gliders have been recorded in the Wombat State Forest. any logging in greater glider habitat." Once living in abundance in the tall eucalypt forests and woodlands of Australia’s east coast, greater gliders are dependent on large areas of undisturbed, tall forest, with suitably large nesting hollows. But with habitat loss due to land clearing attributed to the decline of the species, Ms Plibersek noted these issues were “primarily the responsibility of state governments”.

the Wombat Forest has already impacted greater glider habitat. "At Babbington Hill, where greater gliders have been recorded, over two acres of forest was cleared to enable the operation. "Existing hollow-bearing trees that survived the storm have been damaged by machinery and are now highly susceptible to collapse. "Decisions about native forest logging are a state responsibility. The Andrews government needs to immediately halt

Teenager injured in two-car collision One person was injured in a two-vehicle collision in Kyneton last Thursday night. It is believed a ute travelling westbound and turning into a driveway on Bodkin Street was hit by Hiace van that had overtaken another westbound car travelling behind the ute about 7.30pm. The impact temporarily trapped one person who was later able to climb out of the vehicle.

A $7 million statewide clean-up effort will clean up the damaged heritage railway, walking trails, recreation reserves and fire access tracks in Hepburn and Macedon Ranges. In Trentham, trees that are blocking walking trails will be cleared from parts of the Wombat Trail and Domino Rail Trail to help efforts to reopen the trails. Racecourse, Stony Creek and Trent Creek Reserves in Trentham will also see clean up works, along with the Rail Reserve from Lyonville to Bullarto. The popular Daylesford Spa Country Railway damaged in the significant flood and storm event in 2021 is another of several local tourist assets and community facilities in Hepburn Shire receiving recovery funding. The works are jointly funded through Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements and cover the demolition and removal of hazardous trees and structures in community assets located on public land. Local MP Mary-Anne Thomas said it was important communities had support for recovery following severe weather events. “We can’t change what these communities went through, but we are doing what we can to make the recovery journey that little bit easier and help rejuvenate the local economy," she said. “These are vital community assets that are

part of what makes Hepburn and Macedon Ranges such a great place to live and visit – we’re getting on with the wider clean up so communities can recover and welcome more visitors back to the region.”Projects were identified in consultation with local councils and are aimed at supporting community connectedness, safety and wellbeing. Bushfire Recovery Victoria is delivering the flood and storm clean-up program in partnership with Johns Lyng Group, Australia’s largest disaster recovery specialist. The widespread damage following the June 2021 flood and storm event left a complex clean-up job, and damaged homes were prioritised. With the work to clean up damaged homes successfully completed on schedule, the effort turns to supporting community assets – clearing the path to full recovery and giving a boost to local economy. Cleanup works began last week on many of the projects. The $105 million state-coordinated flood and storm clean-up program is jointly funded by the Federal and Victorian Governments.

Kyneton Community House's first ever art exhibition will be held on Wednesday featuring the work of several budding artists. It is the result of KCH's Art in Community program, which focused on working towards creating art for public show. Art teacher Deita Walters said the program had allowed a diverse group of people to come together and explore concepts and techniques in art, in a way that also enriched their own personal journey and style. "By using simple art techniques through to hanging works for a show the group has found inspiration to continue with their own art practice," she said. "Focusing on a final show allowed a new view on what it means to be creative, without limitations. "Through the relaxed, supportive and often entertaining sessions, students have created more than a body of work – they have created a community." The art exhibition's opening night will be Wednesday, July 13, from 4pm to 6pm, at 35 High Street, Kyneton. Enquires for semester two can be made online via: kynetoncommunityhouse.org.au

KN265357/K

Schools in the Macedon electorate will benefit from bushfire preparation works. The state government is investing $9.15 million to continue the Bushfire Preparedness (Vegetation) Program across 2022-23. The following schools will benefit from funding to undertake essential vegetation clearance works prior to the bushfire season and in line with municipal fire danger periods: Elphinstone, Mount Macedon, New Gisborne, Riddells Creek, Taradale, Tylden, Woodend, Woodend (Carlsruhe campus), Lancefield, Darraweit Guim, Hesket, Bolinda, Langley, Bullarto, Malmsbury, Trentham, Macedon, Drummond and Newham primary schools. Also Gisborne Secondary College. Schools to receive funds are among those identified as being at risk and listed on the Bushfire at Risk Register. These schools are required to undertake vegetation works on a regular basis to mitigate the risk of harm to the school’s community and buildings in the event of a bushfire.

This week and a week or so ago, whole pages appeared in The Age full of small maps of areas where companies are applying for licences for gold exploration. There were a few maps this week around Fosterville, so the Fosterville mine owned by a Canadian must be expanding even more and some for the Heathcote area around Bendigo. We already have it happening in Muckleford and Chewton. These companies are often foreign-owned, so if gold is found it's money going out of the country. Does the government want gold mining to get royalties? Why did the Minerals Council of Australia donate the big prize for the Castlemaine Gift this year? And, what about Native Title? It's unfortunate that when economies are down, the price of gold goes up. People dig it up, wreck the natural environment and walk away. They melt the gold into blocks and often just lock them away in banks. These companies think it's all okay because they go underground, maybe under your house? To dig a hole you have to take out dirt. Then you have to wash that and search for your treasure. Tailings dams, holes in the ground, slag heaps. We've had it all before. Do we want this again?

At risk of insulting a fellow dog lover ('Not all are so lucky', Opinions, July 5) I humbly suggest that almost nothing in her letter is factual. Line after line of ‘dog mythology’, ‘folklore’ and ‘luck’ as why things happen! The 'facts' are quoted without any evidence: “you are in a minority”, “not right that all the scientific research…” So please point me to the scientific evidence that proves these statements. I quoted two sources in my original letter, I could quote many more. The research being carried out now, actually purports that dogs do not just have 'privileges', they do indeed have 'rights'.

Communities, customers and caring for Country are focus areas of Greater Western Water’s 2030 Strategy. The launch of the strategy coincided with GWW's one year-anniversary, following the integration of City West Water and Western Water in July 2021. Managing director Maree Lang said the first GWW strategy showed how the organisation was adapting to manage the challenges of population growth amid climate change. The GWW strategy was developed with input from GWW customers, alongside Traditional Owner groups from the Kulin Nation, ensuring its themes closely aligned with the priorities of all interested parties.

installed, we will have no say over who gets to plaster their messages on our town, yelling at us silently every day. The proposed billboard will be visible from and change the character of the streetscape from the Shell servo in Chewton past the Wesley Hill market site and will be visible from the Leanganook/Forest Creek trail. Council has rejected the proposal, but the people who want to build it (and make money from it) have taken it to VCAT. If you don’t want another billboard in our town (and a precedent for more to come) then come along to participate in a community photo that will form part of the objection we are taking to VCAT. Wear or bring something red to show you don’t want this proposal to go ahead. Saturday July 23, 11am, at the top of the Wesley Hill Market, for those who generally don’t want this in our community. And Saturday July 23, at noon, at the Leanganook/Forest Creek trail (near the timber fenced cliff and the big manna gum/ dju wurrk tree) for those who use and love the walking/cycling trail and don’t want a billboard impacting on this beautiful spot. For those who would really love to see a big new billboard in our town, and think this is a great initiative, we’ll be outside the pistol club at 10am on July 23 to take a photo of you and chat about your vision for this town.

Many European countries – Austria and Switzerland to name just two, have these 'rights' legislated. People who break these laws have to attend classes to be retrained. Dogs MUST run free. MUST sniff and MUST socialise with their own species to be happy. It is never the dog’s fault that this cannot happen, but it is understood that disturbed dogs cannot always achieve all of this and of course the onus is on the owner to do the best they can and to keep them out of harm’s way. One doesn’t have to go far from the Macedon Ranges to see these principles in action. Fawkner Park in South Yarra, Albert Park (when the race isn’t on). For over 40 years this has been how dogs have lived, including until recently, in the Macedon Ranges. I say again, current MRC legislation goes against the flow of science and best world practice. I urge all dog owners to keep up with dog cognition studies. I urge this topic to come out into the open and to be discussed as a matter of community wellbeing. It is a privilege to have a dog in our lives. It is our duty to ensure their right to happiness.

’ ittle Galler reac es o

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Little Gallery in Trentham. Since its humble beginnings, the gallery has grown into a beautiful, modern and inspiring art space. One of the founding artists Rose Wilson has been with the gallery for its duration and says even though the gallery is a privately run space, it supports other local creatives with its annual winter and Christmas shows and numerous consignment artists. "In fact, Little Gallery has exhibited well over 200 regional artists and fundraised for many charities," Rose says. The celebration of its 10th anniversary coincides with the 2022 Winter Show, which opens Friday July 15. This has become a popular event that is highly anticipated by locals, art lovers and collectors. "The majority of this year’s artists in the Winter Show have not exhibited at Little Gallery before so patrons of the gallery will have the opportunity to enjoy a diversity of works quite different to previous events," Rose says. "The artists in this year’s show have won numerous awards and accolades, so this is a perfect opportunity to buy an investment piece or just own a beautiful piece of original art." The 2022 Winter Show will feature prominent local names such as Julie Chandler, Phillip Edwards, Sylvia Hollis, George Lianos, Jo Linsdell, Gabrielle Martin, Akiko Nagino, Alison Parkinson,

le i its

The show will also include works by the Little Gallery collective. Marina Pribaz, Mike Rutherford, Taka Sugawara, Kirsty Williams and Peter Young. The show will also include works by the Little Gallery collective, Helen Cottle, Larissa Gray, Kim Haughie, Llael McDonald, Ri Van Veen and Rose Wilson. Little Gallery always supports the local community by utilising its events to donate to local charities. "The Winter Show is our biggest

fundraiser and last year the gallery raised a substantial amount for the Path of the Horse and Quarry Street Reserve to rebuild after the storm," Rose says. "This year, the recipient will be the Trentham District Primary School, and for this year’s Winter Show Raffle, the gallery collective artists will each donate a piece of artwork alongside donations from local businesses. "The raffle is a marvelous opportunity

to support your community and of course to own a beautiful piece of art." The 2022 Winter Show officially opens on Friday July 15 at 5.30pm and all are welcome to celebrate the 10th anniversary and the new artists exhibiting in the Winter Show fundraiser. The exhibition continues until August 8. The gallery is open from 10am to 4pm, Thursday to Monday. www.trenthamlittlegallery.com

THE JOSINE MCEWAN MEMORIAL LECTURE 2022

u l

Cow on the mullock heap. Back after the pandemic interruption is Buda’s annual fundraising dinner and Josine McEwan memorial lecture to be held on Saturday July 30. The late Josine McEwan was a volunteer in the garden at Buda Historic Home and Garden in Castlemaine. Knowing how important Buda is to the region and wanting it to remain open for future generations to enjoy, Josine left a generous bequest to Buda when she passed away in 2006. Since 2007 a lecture and fundraising dinner has been conducted in Josine’s memory. Clive Willman is a renowned geologist specialising in mapping and structural geology since 1980 and combining filmmaking and geology since 2005. He is a recipient of the Selwyn Medal, which is awarded to recognise significant ongoing or former contributions of high calibre to Victorian geology. This year’s lecture presented by Clive is the fascinating ‘Living Among the Mines. That’s cool but please stop

poisoning the kids’. Clive’s Living Among the Mines research explores the sights and sounds that the Leviny family experienced in the late 19th century. This artistic and cultured family, more than any other household in Castlemaine, were surrounded by the clanging and banging of mine machinery. Deep shafts were located just metres from their fence line, and at times, even the streets were mined. Amazingly they tolerated all this until Ernest Leviny drew the line when a sulphurous and smoke belching mineral processing plant, just around the corner, withered his precious garden and poisoned the kids. The dinner includes a glass of bubbly on arrival followed by a delicious and seasonal three-course winter meal. It is always a wonderful night. Bookings essential via the website. Don’t forget Buda's November Traditional Arts Fair. Applications are now open for stallholders. Check the website for details. budacastlemaine.org

PETCARE Separation anxiety a problem? Separation anxiety is a very common complaint for animal owners. There are many symptoms associated with this concern and dogs can express their anxiety by showing different behaviours, which can include, but is not limited to, drooling, digging and destructive behaviours, urinating and defecating inappropriately, barking or howling, pacing and escaping their property. Not all dogs will show all symptoms, but may present with one or two. The exact trigger of separation anxiety is unclear, but there are certain situations that are often commonly seen in some animals who present with separation anxiety behaviours. We have regularly heard the term "a change is as good as a holiday" but unfortunately this seems to be a common trigger for some animals. Changing their environment, change of ownership, or change in routine have all been common triggers. Some older adopted dogs have unknown history from where they are adopted from and it can take a period of time before new owners can recognise what triggers their anxiety behaviours. To help find the best treatment for your pet’s separation anxiety, whether it is with the use of training techniques or medications, the first step is to speak to your vet to help identify exactly what is causing the anxiety. Once you can identify the cause, you can begin the journey to help your pet’s health. (Information provided by Gisborne Veterinary Clinic)

racehorses and provide RDAV centres with additional horses to use in therapeutic equestrian activities. As part of the new agreement, RV will commit a further $50,000 over the next 12-months (on top of its $50,000 contribution last year) to allow RDAV to deliver and expand its personally enriching riding programs and to accommodate additional horses at its 35 centres across Victoria. In addition to the financial support, RV will conduct a series of five training sessions to encourage and showcase the use of off-the-track horses in RDAV activity, as well as provide sponsorship and prizes at RDAV competitions and events. RV will also continue its tailored retraining as part of its RESET Program for those retried racehorses identified as suitable for RDAV – such as former galloper Go For Glory, better known as Tessie, pictured, who was a valued member of the RDAV team before recently retiring. This specialised retraining is supported by a select group of RV acknowledged retrainers who provide a different pathway for those retired racehorses helping drive demand for Victorian thoroughbreds where previously not considered.

Sheep fun facts

Sheep have nearly 360 degree vision. Sheep have rectangular pupils. Sheep cannot right themselves if they get onto their backs. Sheep are quite smart. A study showed that over two years they can recognise 50 different human faces and react better to a smile rather than a frown. Sheep are believed to have been domesticated in central Asia 10,000 years ago. Sheep are close relatives of goats, antelopes, cattle and muskoxen. There are more than 1000 breeds of sheep recognised worldwide. Sheep’s milk has smaller fat globules, which make it easier for humans to digest.

An increase in the national wage and higher superannuation payments are among a raft of changes that began on July 1, which small and family businesses must be aware of, says Bruce Billson, the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman. "With so many pressures on small business owners and managers at the change of the financial year it can be easy to overlook the new rules that apply from the start of the current financial year," Mr Billson said. "However, this is not something that can be put aside for another day. "It is essential that small business owners and managers understand what they are required to do. They should check their payroll and accounting systems have been updated and they should talk to trusted advisers." Below is a list of just some of the changes that took effect from July 1.

What's a good excuse to have two birthday parties? Because you're 100 years old, that's why, and that's exactly what Jean Hitch did a couple of weeks ago when she, her family and friends celebrated her marvellous milestone. On July 1, Jean's actual birthday, she enjoyed an afternoon tea the party at Gisborne Oaks with two of her three children and, of course, staff and residents. The next day at the home she still has in Macedon, Jean's children held a family and friends party for her. Jean, a 'very' long-term resident of the Macedon Ranges where she lived on a 1200-acre property, finds turning 100 a personal achievement that she describes as "very difficult to believe". But it's true. She's had a double celebration and heaps of fun to prove it!

Applications are now open for ANZ’s Seeds of Renewal program, with grants of up to $15,000 available for not-for-profit organisations in rural and regional areas to support the ongoing prosperity of regional Australia. Celebrating 20 years in 2022, the program is administered by the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal and has provided more than $5 million to more than 800 community groups to help build vibrant and sustainable communities. This year, the ANZ Seeds of Renewal program is offering a share of $250,000 to community organisations for projects aligned to four focus areas: • Environmental sustainability: initiatives that restore and conserve the natural environment or contribute to lower carbon emissions, water stewardship and waste minimisation; • Financial wellbeing: particularly for under-represented and disadvantaged people in the community, including initiatives that improve economic participation. For example, building financial literacy and vocational skills and providing access to meaningful work; • Housing access: initiatives and programs that support those experiencing or at

risk of homelessness or that provide supports for people living with disability; or • Projects that assist local communities to thrive. FRRR CEO Natalie Egleton said it had been a particularly tough year for many rural communities, with the impacts of COVID on top of fires, floods and drought. "Programs like ANZ Seeds of Renewal offer funding to help the local groups that are the backbone of their communities address local needs, issues and opportunities in a way that will help create stronger places to live and work,” Ms Egleton said. Last year, ANZ and FRRR provided grants to 21 community groups for projects including: upgrading a facility that improved financial outcomes for Indigenous women and girls in Port Lincoln; improving community meeting space for people with a disability in Atherton; and educating students in Coffs Harbour on career opportunities in bee propagation and environmental sustainability. Applications close at 5pm on August 3. A grant seeker workshop will be held online from 1 –2pm on July 14. For more information about ANZ Seeds of Renewal, or to apply for a grant visit FRRR's website.

ESTATE

CONSIDER COSY IN THE COOL CLIMATE: WINTER SELLING TIPS For decades we’ve been told that winter is not the right time to sell your home. Who would buy a property in the cool climate of Kyneton during its coldest months? The answer? Plenty of potential buyers are ready for you to open your doors. Here are my top tips for selling in winter: Consider cosy A puffing chimney, a well warm-lit home, natural light and cosy features such as rugs, throws, cushions and colour are all the touches you need to conjure up fireside dreams and a lifestyle filled with comfort and warmth. Make use of that fireplace and light it up, show off your oven and get baking prior to inspections, filling your home with those delicious winter scents. Take pride in popularity Shhhh… top secret: if you sell during winter there’s less competition. This means, if you are selling a property, there are fewer homes on the market to compete with which can result in receiving and

accepting a fantastic offer. Winter buyers are generally super serious about their purchase and are more likely to be ready to buy the second they see their perfect palace. Take advantage of this cool climate market. There’s a long waitlist of potential buyers just waiting to see your cosy home on the market. Winter clean and a garden preen Wind, rain and sometimes snow; the dampness can leave some residue, so keep a daily eye on your property with the buyer in mind. Is your entrance soggy with puddles? Your windows a little grimy from rain? A winter clean can spruce things right up and turn a wet day frown upside down. We can help you create a cosy, comfortably atmosphere for your property. Considering selling? We are here to help with stylists, ideas and advice on how to encourage buyers to inspect your home this winter.

Being in nature

Reminiscent of renowned architect Alistair Knox who advocated for "living in the environment", Mat Boyle and Anna Winneke of Pumphouse Design built this sustainably designed home in 2005 with a strong emphasis on natural materials, finishes and reclaimed resources. Disciples (or students) of the Knox building school, Boyle and Winneke embraced the fundamentals with an outcome resulting in this stunning mudbrick, steel and recycled timber home. With a soaring vaulted ceiling, picture windows connecting to nature, and reclaimed beams dominating the design, the split-level floorplan consists of an expansive open plan living with wood burning heater, dining and kitchen. With views of the landscape, the kitchen features a generous curved timber bench with storage, a walk-in pantry and a 900mm gas cooktop with an electric oven. The main level provides a study, a bedroom with double doors outside, a bathroom with a clawfoot bath, a separate toilet and a laundry. The mezzanine-level houses a library with picture windows overlooking the surrounding landscape and the main bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, an ensuite with a generous stainless-steel shower, a walk-in robe and french doors to an east-

facing deck. Additional details include a cellar, timber and decorative brick flooring, ceiling fans, reverse cycle heating and cooling, town water and 1kw solar panels. On approx. 3.48 acres, the house sits privately within its bush setting and terraced landscape and features a brick-paved entertaining area with a pizza oven. External details include a studio with a wood-burning heater and mezzanine, a rear shed/ workshop, a carport and an additional shed. In a highly sought-after location, this property is within walking distance of the renowned Castlemaine Botanical Gardens, the vibrant Mill Complex and a short drive into Castlemaine. As a home of the environment, with a connection to nature, sustainable bespoke design, and reclaimed resources, this is a pure and raw homage to the school of Knox.

KN265651

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

Two applications have been made which affect the Land. The first is an application for approval of a Development Plan. The second is an application for a planning permit to subdivide the Land. Both applications are explained below. DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION The applicant has lodged an application for review with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Tribunal) against the Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s failure to make a decision in relation to Development Plan Application DP/2021/1 within the prescribed time (VCAT No. P510/2022). The application for review is made pursuant to section 149 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (Act). The applicant seeks approval of a Development Plan which sets out the development intentions for the land by showing the land affected and the proposed development and use for each part of the Land. In relation to the Development Plan Application, the Development Plan Overlay (Schedule 4) of the Macedon Ranges Planning Scheme states the following process requirement: “The development plan and any amendment to the plan must be publicly exhibited for a period of two weeks prior to approval. The responsible authority must take into account any comments received when considering the development plan or any amendment to the plan”.

To make a submission to the Responsible Authority, your submission must: Be in writing Include your name and mailing address (email address optional) Reason/s for your submission State how you would be affected by the approval of the Development Plan Any suggestions on how to address issues raised in your submission. In making your submission concerning the proposed Development Plan, you may use the prescribed submission form that relates to the making of planning permit applications which is located on Council’s website at https://www.mrsc.vic.gov.au/Build-Plan/Planning-Permits-Approvals-Forms/Object-to-anapplication. Submissions can be emailed to mrsc@mrsc.vic.gov.au or posted to PO Box 151 Kyneton Vic 3444 or delivered in person to any Macedon Ranges Shire Council office. SUBDIVISION PERMIT APPLICATION The applicant has also currently lodged an application for review of the Council’s failure to grant a permit for Planning Application PLN/2021/616 within the prescribed time (VCAT No. P511/2022). That application has been made to VCAT pursuant to section 79 of the Act. The subdivision permit application seeks approval for the subdivision of the land within the Development Plan area in stages, the construction of single dwellings on lots less than 300sqm, removal of native vegetation and associated buildings and works.

The effect of that provision of the Development Plan Overlay is that the Planning Scheme provides an exemption from the giving of notice, and the rights of third parties to file an application for review in VCAT, in relation to a planning permit application where a Development Plan has been approved for the Land.

After serving as president of the Gisborne District Cricket Association for the past six years, Rob McIntyre has stepped down from the position. McIntyre did not seek re-election at the association’s annual meeting last Tuesday evening, but will remain on the board as competitions’ manager. He also retains his positions as Central Highlands Cricket Region president, vice-president of the Victorian Country Cricket League,

and Vic Country chairman of selectors. McIntyre has played a significant role in the expansion of the GDCA during his terms as president. The new GDCA leader is Richard Bayly (Bacchus Marsh) who joined the board of management in 2020-21. Simon Ovenden continues as secretary, and Kevin Sullivan is again treasurer. KILMORE WELCOMED As exclusively reported in last week’s Express, Kilmore Cricket Club is the latest club to join GDCA ranks.

SP PORTS WRAP PORT

At the annual meeting Kilmore was represented by club president Brett Buttler and Cath Mogridge. Buttler informed the meeting that affiliating with the GDCA with its much lager number of senior and junior grades will allow the club to continue to grow in an area of increasing population. Kilmore is expected to field four senior sides and six junior sides in 2022-23 season. The club has been a prominent and successful part of the Seymour District Cricket Association for more than 50 years, and

has its own ‘village green’ ground with a turf wicket. It seems likely that Kilmore’s number one side will compete in Johnstone Shield next season, rather than in the top grade (McIntyre Cup). McIntyre said the move would provide the Kilmore club with a larger competition base for its teams and an opportunity to field senior and junior female teams in the future. It is believed at least one more cricket club, on the southern edge of the GDCA, is interested in joining up for 2020-21.

Invitational victories for Ranges Two Macedon Ranges runners have achieved six records and a personal best at the Australian 24-hour Track Invitational. Kyneton's Greg Wilson and Romsey's Christy Lambert took on the elite level event on July 2-3. Christy last visited the AIS track in Canberra about 25 years ago. The then 17-year-old aspiring 400-metre hurdler completed the gruelling event and promptly bounded up into the stands to chat with her support team. Her coach, Olympian Pam Ryan, asked Christy to turn around and look down at the track. Her opponents were all still sprawled on the track in varying stages of exhaustion. This learning experience may well have been to show Christy that she could have put more into the event, but much more likely it was to bring home the depth of Christy's running endurance. Fast-forward to Saturday July 2 and Christy's second attempt at running for 24 hours, a few months after debuting with victory in the Victorian 24 Hour Championship at Coburg (175km). With a sensible, conservative start, Christy was able to overcome bitterly cold conditions and various health ailments to achieve a first female victory in the Open Event, with a new personal best of 184.044km. By remarkable coincidence, this is right in the middle of the distances achieved by

training partner Greg Wilson on debut at Coburg back in 1992 (181.1) and Wollongong 1994 (189.9). This was around the same period that Christy was exuberantly bounding up the AIS grandstand! The last time Greg was at the Australian Institute of Sport track was in February. After a break of 25 years, he had a belated attempt at a long-standing 100 Mile Australian Age Record held held by 'legend' Cliff Young (male 65-69 of 22hr 28m 05s). Having only one six-hour event, due to years of pandemic cancellations and a bad injury, it was "highly ambitious" to, at 69 years of age, attempt a record that Cliffy set in 1988 aged 65. After 15 hours of running and still 1hr 30m in front of record pace, Greg retired from the event. This month, it was time for Greg's first serious attempt at the records in his new M70 age group and he delivered well beyond his own expectation. Greg set an impressive six Australian M70 records at the July 2-3 event: 6 Hour 61.9km (previously 58.531, John Nuttall, 2022) 50 Mile 8hr 32m 39s (previously 8hr 38m 23s, Harry Davis, 2014) 100km 11hr 15m (previously 11hr 42m 29s, John Nuttall, 2022) 12 Hour 106km (previously 102km, John Nuttall, 2022) 100 Mile 22hr 26m 27s (previously 22hr

Romsey’s Christy Lambert achieved first female victory and a PB.

Kyneton’s Greg Wilson set six Australian M70 records.

39m 55s, Deryck Skinner, 2005) 24 Hour 170.5km (previously 166.33km, Deryck Skinner, 2005) Greg said he hadn't paid attention to the details of his final two records "as they seemed a most unlikely achievement".

"With a few laps to go it sunk in that I had already passed the 24-hour record, so I just walked, smiled, danced around Christy and just made sure I got over 170km, as it was a nice round number," he said.

Masterclass only for the committed

e o eo

oot a

Eva Ashcroft scored her first goal on Saturday. With road trips for all Macedon Rangers Soccer Club teams on the weekend, one game was not enough for some! Ryan and Jamie Haworth trekked to Caroline Springs for their early game and then made the dash to Melton to join the u13s, not even breaking a sweat in the glorious sunshine. The U13s found their rhythm among the swing arms and hard hits, nothing was going to stop them today – not even an exploding boot – it was great to see players holding it together when not even their gear could withstand the pressure. Goalkeeper Nick owned the last line of defence, putting his body on the line time and time again, while at the other end of the ground the goals were being pummelled with shot after shot missing by inches. Not to be outdone, the girls also gave Satellite’s Goalie a workout with both Olivia and Chloe scoring trifectas and Eva scoring her first. Bella had her backline working like a dream and despite some very obvious size differences, the Rangers showed no fear.

Melbourne Victory held their annual Masterclass on Friday and it was definitely a day in which only the committed made it to the end. With what seemed like a year’s worth of rain in one day, the coaches and kids pushed through, determined to enjoy the experience of learning new skills and drills, meeting new people and best of all playing in the rain. Several of Macedon Rangers Soccer Club players made the trip and the club had representation across the different age groups. Brother and sister Angus and Olivia Pinnock came away with 'Player of The Day' awards in their groups!

Two Kyneton-trained gallopers won last week in similar fashion, both drawing barrier 1 and leading all the way. Trainer Charles Cassar and a group of largely local owners were thrilled with the effort of outsider Redline. The four-year-old jumped well and jockey Jarrod Fry allowed him to retain the inside running in the 1200m Maiden over 1200m at Warracknabeal. In the straight, Redline was challenged strongly, but

fought on strongly to win by 0.4 of a length at his 10th start. Later in the week George Osborne saddled up threeyear-old Kyteler in a BM58 Handicap over 1500m at Ballarat Synthetic. Having his seventh start, three-year-old Kyteler has shown plenty of ability but is also a work in progress. He does seem to appreciate heavy tracks. Apprentice Sheridan Clarke showed plenty of initiative and allowed Kyteler to lead clearly and steal a break in the straight.

The $7.50 chance hung on to win narrowly from the fast-finishing Quick Enough. Osborne and staunch co-owner Alec Babukasis race the cleverly named three-year-old. By Shamus Award from Unforgivable Woman, the name Kyteler relates to the wealthy Dame Alice Kyteler, dubbed the ‘Witch of Kilkenny’ in Ireland in the 13th century. She is reputed to have fled abroad to avoid being executed. Osborne said Kyteler will now go for a well-earned spell, hopeful there are more wins ahead in the future.

Kyneton Golf Club winners of the Marj Sutherland Memorial Doubles KO, Michelle Werner and Teaote Davies. Castlemaine Covid or flu-like symptoms depleted the field for Castlemaine’s stableford event on Saturday. Some excellent scores were returned in ideal conditions. Harald Domanski (15 handicap) was dominant, and a back nine of 21 points

gave him the overall and A-grade awards with 38 points, on a countback from the very consistent Jason Cordy (6). Tony Olssen (20) led in the B-graders with 37 points, ahead of Geoff Margary (19) on 36. Kyneton It was a busy week for Kyneton golf ladies, with the final of the Marj Sutherland Memorial doubles knockout being played on Thursday.

Making full use of her handicap, Irene Kocicz fired 118-43-75 to take out the monthly medal and B-grade awards on Wednesday. The A-grade winner was Joan Gibbs 101-25-76 who also won the silver spoon round, from Julie Harris 100-22-78.

Lancefield After a cold and grey spell, glorious weather greeted the ladies for their monthly medal event last week, but little improvement in scores resulted. Di Rohde took out the medal with a nett 78, from Anne Robinson 82, with Di Brennan the nine-hole stableford winner with 12 ponts. The men’s stableford on Saturday saw newcomer David Morgan (23 handicap) break through for a victory with 36 points, from runner-up Mark Cruise (22) and Peter McGill (9) both 34.

Legends: Peter McGill 85-9-76 from Jason Byron 86-8-78. Romsey Good scores were sparse in tough conditions at Romsey on Saturday. Accuracy off the tee was paramount, with only one player able to better their handicap. An eagle two on the par fifth hole by Mitch Atlas was the individual highlight. Luke Lyons was the day’s winner with 89-17-72, from Mick Nicholls Snr 99-25-74 and Andrew Laing 89-17-74. With tee markers positioned anywhere from 80 metres to 200 metres from the green, players had to deliberate on choice of

clubs in the par three event on Wednesday. Nett results: Lorraine Robb 48-22.9325.07 finished well clear of Hugh Williams 44-10.13-33.87 and Jenney Hartley 4510.66-34.34. Gross: Rob Slade (8) 43, from Williams 44, and Hartley 45. Trentham Rosemary Kelly had a memorable round of 109-42-67 to win her first-ever monthly medal at Trentham last Wednesday. And it was her birthday as well! To make it even better, Kelly’s round was the best over two rounds, earning her the Grace Moloney Trophy. In the women’s 18-hole event on Saturday the A-grade winner was Claire Perston with 82-13-69, with B-grade going to Alison Bourchers with 95-25-70. Shane Robinson (11) came in the the best round of the day in the men’s stableford. His 40 points was one better than David Thiele (6). Geoff Dalgleish (16) took out B-grade with 37 points on a countback from Gavin King (17), and C-grade went to Gerard Hughes (25) with 36, from Mount Derrimut visitor Jeremy Scott. Woodend Bruce Clark shot an even par 67 off the stick to clinch Woodend’s stableford event on Saturday. From a handicap of four, Clark chalked up 40 points to edge out Matt Collett (12) on a countback. Plenty of frost around during the week, with minus three on a midweek morning testing the golfing stalwarts.

Under lights at the Showgrounds, Kyneton women’s football team defeated their Strathfieldsaye counterparts by 124 points in a one-sided encounter. The final scores were 20.13 (133) to 1.3 (9). The special award winners for the Tigers included Alex Strawhorn, who starred in her first game for the club. Other awards went to Terri Overstead, Maddy Stott, Emma Williams, Beth Whittem and Sophie Van Leest. The Tigers had 12 individual goalkickers, Stott leading the way with five. Strawhorn, Williams, Shannon Prendergast, and Amy Campbell and contributed 2, with singles to Overstrad, Whittem, Ursi Van Dyk, Natalie Korinfsky, Neve Brissenden and Marnie Love. A big thank you to volunteers Eloise, Steve, Taylor, Laura and Luke for their tremendous support. NEW SCOREBOARD Kyneton FNC secretary Vini Pinto said it was a great day overall for the club, with the unveiling of a new electronic scoreboard for the netball court earlier in the day. The Tigers’ A-grade netballers welcomed the dynamic Claire Oakley back to the goaling end, and there were impressive shooting statistics in the 54-43 victory against Strathfieldsaye. NOW FOR THE QEO Kyneton senior footballers battled hard on Saturday, but second-placed Strathfieldsaye was able to clinch the match by 17 points.

Now the Tigers, in fourth place on the Bendigo League ladder, face up to South Bendigo on the Queen Elizabeth Oval in the match of the day in the 13th round this Saturday. On April 3, South Bendigo came to Kyneton and won a thriller by three points; the Tigers have certainly improved as the season has gone on and will be looking forward to the challenge of trying to consolidate their spot in the top five. Gisborne, big winners against Castlemaine, are clear ladder leaders and seemingly have top spot sewn up. Strathfieldsaye is a clear second, with Golden Square in third position. The Paul Chapman-coached Tigers know the importance of this Saturday’s encounter – and players should relish being in the match of the round. At times the Tigers produced some very good football at the Showgrounds against Strathfieldsaye, but it is hard to win when restricted to less than 10 goals. Eventually the Storm prevailed 12.11 (83) to 9.12 (66). Rhys Magin again figured prominently for the Tigers with four majors, with Guy Dickson 2, James Gaff, Jimmy Orr and Dean Bartrop the other goalkickers. Kyneton Reserves found the going tough, being defeated 15.14 to 1.2 by a powerful Storm lineup. In the Under 18s, Strathfieldsaye was far too strong, winning 14.15 to 2.4.

Castlemaine played host to league powerhouse Gisborne in round 12 action at the Camp Reserve last Saturday. A tough contest was assured with Gisborne sitting in top spot and looking to record their 11th win of the season having only dropped one game to Sandhurst in round 10. Castlemaine made a positive start in the first quarter kicking one goal and holding the Bulldogs to 3.4 for the term. However, in the second quarter the visitors found their running game and made the most of opportunities in front of goal slamming through another six goals to the Magpies one for the term. At half-time Gisborne led by a commanding 52 points. Castlemaine lifted in the third stanza trying to do everything they could to stifle the Bulldog's avenues to goal and to their credit held them to four majors for the term, while adding another goal to their tally. But at three-quarter-time Gisborne held a 73-point advantage. In the final term the Bulldogs stamped their authority on the game smashing through another seven goals while holding the Magpies to a solitary point to run out winners by 117 points. Harry Thomas was in everything kicking seven goals for the Bulldogs. Final scores Castlemaine 1.0, 2.1, 3.1, 3.2 (20) to Gisborne 3.4, 10.5, 14.8, 21.11 (137).

Harcourt welcomed Talbot to the den last Saturday in Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League round 10 competition. After a loss to Carisbrook in round eight and a narrow victory over Trentham in round nine, the Harcourt side were determined to produce some of their early season form against fellow top eight side Talbot. Harcourt made a promising start kicking five goals to two in the opening stanza and held a 20-point lead at the first change. The second term proved to be a much more even affair with Talbot working hard to contain Harcourt's fire-power and both sides kicking a goal apiece for the term. At the long break the Lions led by 26 points. The battle continued in a tightly fought third term with Harcourt kicking another 2.2 to the Hawks 1.2 with the Lions moving out to a 32-point advantage going into the final term. However, Harcourt's class shone through in the fourth term with the side doubling their tally kicking another eight unanswered goals to run out winners by 85 point and leave their opponents shellshocked.

Maldon lifted in the third and managed a couple of goals to bolster the side but the Swans kept on finding the goals with another eight for the term and led by 136 points at three quarter time. To their credit Maldon held their heads high and kicked another two goals in the last quarter but the Natte finished strongly kicking another five to post a percentage boosting 157 point win. Final scores Natte Bealiba 6.5, 16.8, 24.12, 29.15 (189) to Maldon 0.0, 1.2, 3.2, 5.2 (32). Goal kickers for Maldon were Hayden Kelly, Brett Cole 2 and Bryce Coffey.

Fast tracked: Teenagers Alec McGregor (at left) and Jake Stoekel were excited to play their first game in Macedon’s winning senior side on Saturday. Fifteen-year-old Lachlan Hay was playing his third game for the Cats.

An exciting and historic time: After the official switching on of the new stateof-the-art lighting system at the Lancefield Park main oval on Friday evening, the first official night football match took place between Lancefield U17A and Gisborne Rookies.

Macedon Cats step up beyond the Hawks’ reach. Strong and consistent Dave Morrice and big ruckman Jordan Dyer were among those praised by Sanders for exceptional efforts. This Saturday, the fourth-placed Cats welcome fifth-placed Romsey to Tony Clarke Reserve, while Woodend-Hesket has the daunting task of playing at Diggers Rest. Macedon 3.5, 5.8, 10.11, 12.11 (83) d Woodend-Hesket 1.3, 3.7, 6.10, 8.11 (59). Goals (M) – J. Cooke 4, A. McGregor, M. Knox 2, T. Pridgeon, T. Sims, E. Morrissey, J. Kernana. Best – D. Morrice, J.

RIDDELL JUST MISS In the battle for top spot, Riddell led by eight points at half-time in a low-scoring match contest against Diggers Rest at Bomberland. Both sides were desperate, and in a

tight last term both sides managed two goals apiece. Keeping in-form forward Tim Walsh to just one goal was significant for Diggers Rest in the final analysis. It would certainly be no surprise to see these sides in the 2022 grand final. Diggers Rest 9.7 (61) d Riddell 8.7 (55). Goals (R) – L. Berry 4, T. Walsh, N. Croft, T. Stead, J. Lanyon. Best – B. Sonagan. T. Alkemade, J. Grabham, S. Treweek, Berry, R. Paterson. Melton Centrals turned in one of their best performances to account for Lancefield 16.13 (109) to 5.6 (36). Goals (L) B. Crowhurst, S. Da Riva, H. Taylor, M. Bowden, T. Atwell. Best – J. Dalgleish, M. Conlan, L. Fellows, Da Riva, Taylor, A. Simpson.by 83 points. In the remaining match, third-placed Wallan went on a 32.25 (217) rampage over Western Rams 1.2 (8). Senior ladder: Diggers Rest 48, Riddell 44, Wallan 42, Macedon 32, Romsey 32, Woodend-Hesket 26, Melton Centrals 16, Lancefield 12, Western Rams 8.

Cats consolidate in netball

RDFNL games

In a match that may have decided which of two neighbouring sides plays Riddell League finals, it was a determined Macedon that seized the initiative against Woodend-Hesket in the third quarter on Saturday, eventually winning by four goals. The Cats had a last-minute coaching hiccup, with Wayne Sanders (Reserves coach) thrust into the hot seat at very short notice when senior coach Al Meldrum was sidelined with symptoms resembling food poisoning. Sanders was elated after the match, describing the outcome at Gilbert Gordon Oval as “a fantastic win” with the Cats taking some important steps forward after being dominated by Diggers Rest seven days earlier. Woodend-Hesket players wore the famous red and white colours of the former Hesket FC, as 19 players from the Hawks’ 2002 premiership side coached by Denis Barker attended a 20-year reunion. It is the second time this season Macedon has toppled the Hawks, now sixth

Macedon A-grade netballers combined too well to shake off a challenge from second-placed Woodend-Hesket on Saturday, and are now favourites to end up with the all-important top spot at the end of the home and away rounds. Sixth-placed Riddell kept slim hopes alive with a good win over Diggers Rest. Scores: Macedon 53 d Woodend-Hesket 38,

and needing almost a miracle to make the finals. Inability to score sufficient goals weighted heavily on the Hawks for most of the first half; two quick goals cut the deficit to 13 points at the long break. Hawks’ coach Josh Pound wanted his side to lift, but it was Macedon that broke away and kicked four goals in succession in the third term – two came from 17-yearold Alec McGregor playing in his first senior game. Hit hard by injuries to key personnel, the Cats have been forced to give more young players their chance at the top level. As Sanders said, Macedon dominated for 22 minutes in the third term to lead by almost seven goals, then the Hawks slammed on three majors to revive hopes. Kicking with the aid of a breeze, Woodend-Hesket’s big men, Tayte Pears and Tom Gawthorpe, nailed two goals early in the last term and it was “game on”. A stalemate ensued for a period before the irrepressible Jason Cooke kicked his fourth goal on the run, and Matt Knox quickly managed another to put the match
