Online hope for lost pets Lost pets from Macedon Ranges and Hobsons Bay are the first to be posted online by the Lost Dogs Home under a new intiative aimed at reuniting more cats and dogs with their owners. The home’s general manager of animal welfare, Dr David Cunliffe, said Strays Online was about increasing pets’ chances of returning home. “When anyone loses their pet … we’re aware that it can be extremely distressing,” he said. “We know that everyone would want to do everything they can to ensure that they get their pet back. It is definitely our aim to expand the service to include all our partner councils and I have agreement from probably about 80 per cent of them to be included as we grow the service.” Dr Cunliffe said Hobsons Bay and Macedon Ranges councils directly reunited registered and micropchipped lost animals with owners where possible. “They’ve got a system where if you are picked up by the ranger and you are registered, you score a free ride home which I think’s brilliant,” he said. But pets that aren’t registered or chipped, or whose chips have not been updated, may end up at the North Melbourne pound. Last year, 384 cats and 282 dogs were brought to the home from Hobsons Bay and Macedon Ranges. ADOPTIONS ATTENDANT CRAIG MEGGS WITH MICKEY

Airfield safety takes off By Serena Seyfort Aircraft safety concerns at Kyneton airfield have prompted Macedon Ranges council to fast-track plans to maintain the airfield and its surroundings. The council has moved to accelerate the completion of its Kyneton Airfield Master Plan for the airfield’s long-term management and to investigate obstacles, including large trees, that could pose safety threats. Kyneton Aeroclub vice-president Warren Canning told Star Weekly action needed to be taken. “It’s got to the stage where the situation can no longer be ignored,” he said.

He said a large tree plantation on the airfield’s northern border was of “immediate concern”. He said that if they did not already, the height of the trees would soon exceed national safety guidelines. “There’s a risk of aircraft impacting the trees, particularly on landing but also on take-off,” he said. The trees could also affect wind-shear at the airfield, he said. At its May meeting, the council passed a motion to protect the airspace at the airfield and ensure obstacles are maintained in line with required standards. Cr Mandi Mees said a “regulatory gap” in the

current council planning scheme meant it only concerned the airfield, not the airspace around it. She said the council needed to promptly address this issue. “We really need to look at dealing with this now,” she said. Council assets and operations director Dale Thornton said he would commission an investigation into the airfield’s obstacles, but predicted the results would not come back before August. A second part to the motion sought the prompt completion of the master plan for the airfield’s long-term management. Cr Mees said it was time for the airfield issues to be resolved.

“It’s time to bring it to a close – so the Kyneton community can have closure,” she said. The airfield master plan process has been under way since September, 2014, when the council decided Kyneton Airfield would remain at the current site. Kyneton Airfield is not a certified or registered aerodrome, therefore pilots are obligated to determine if it is suitable for their use. The council owns the airfield, which is leased by Kyneton Aeroclub. Mr Canning said correspondence with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority had concluded that the airfield’s maintenance fell on the local council.

Ranges step up for equality By Serena Seyfort Macedon Ranges community organisations are being urged to take part in a program to boost gender equality and prevent violence against women. The Rural Challenge Project, first trialled in February, last week received a $140,000 state government grant to continue and broaden its community-based programs. Run by Macedon Ranges council in partnership with the City of Greater Bendigo, the program works mainly with leaders from

local clubs and CFA brigades to develop gender equity action plans. Lancefield Football Netball Club president Leanne Backwell said involvement in the project had been “rewarding and enlightening”. “Gender equality is a very important thing in a sporting club,” she said. “Being a female president, I have a bit of experience with the issue.” Ms Backwell said her club’s approach to gender equality involved establishing family-friendly areas such as comfortable spaces for children and parents, moving volunteer roles away from

‘‘

I have a bit of experience with the - Leanne Backwell issue

’’

gender stereotypes such as females running the canteen and developing suitable changerooms for women. “It creates a safe and comfortable sporting environment for males and females,” she said. So far Lancefield, Macedon and Riddells Creek CFA brigades and Lancefield and

Kyneton football netball clubs have participated in the program in the Macedon Ranges. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas encouraged local football clubs and CFAs to get involved. “Prevention will only be effective when our whole community is involved in changing attitudes and challenging the behaviours that can lead to family and gender-based violence,” she said. Community organisations interested in participating in the project should contact Jessica Crofts on 5422 0333.

Sunbury DJ in a spin

(Marco De Luca)

Sunbury DJ Josh Shoe is on track to glory in the club scene. The 19-year-old has been signed by Lucky Entertainment – the same agency that represents Melbourne producer and DJ Will Sparks. “It’s pretty surreal, to be honest,” he said. “I just like making people happy.” Josh said he loves ‘DJ-ing’ and the pleasure his music brings to a crowd. He began ‘DJ-ing’ when he was 15 because his best friend was doing it. Even as an under-ager he made his mark. “I first started ‘DJ-ing’ at parties in Sunbury, then I got into under-age events,” he said. He toured around Australia with the Good Life Festival team and performed interstate for Oktoberfest in the Gardens and schoolies. The up-and-coming DJ has even played sets in New Zealand and Bali. But while he plays in some of Melbourne’s biggest clubs on a week-to-week basis he hasn’t forgotten where he started – on Friday nights he can be seen running the show at Sunbury’s Alley Lounge and Nightclub.

The Sunbury community is being urged to fight crime in the region by applying for grants of up to $10,000. Sunbury MP Josh Bull says local groups and clubs can help Sunbury tackle crime by applying for the state’s Community Safety Fund grants. “The Community Safety Fund grants allow councils and community groups to harness local knowledge and deliver small projects that will make a big difference in the long run,” he said. “By delivering local initiatives that help stop crime before it happens, we are continuing to build a safer Sunbury.” The grants can be for projects such as security equipment and education and awareness initiatives. Goonawarra Golf Club used a $3289 community safety grant to install electronic security gates at its course. Club general manager Jeffrey Graham said the electronic gates stopped vehicles driving on to the course after hours. “They’ve allowed us to secure the facility,” Mr Graham said. The number of reported criminal offences in Sunbury rose by 2.3 per cent last year, up to 3056 from 2991 in 2015, according to Crime Statistics Agency data. Applications for the grants close on Friday, July 14. Visit crimeprevention.vic.gov.au for more information.

Staff living in fear of inmates By Benjamin Preiss/The Age Youth detention centre staff are refusing to report assaults against them to police because they fear revenge attacks from inmates, Victoria’s police union says. The Victorian Police Association told a parliamentary inquiry into youth justice that centre workers believed they would be threatened by inmates if serious assaults were investigated. Association secretary Wayne Gatt said there were “many cases” in which police received complaints from centre staff who were unwilling to have matters investigated.

“It perpetuates a level of inactivity by staff … to actually make a report to the police because they don’t think the system is going to protect them,” he told the inquiry. Victoria’s troubled youth justice system has been plagued by unrest and riots, including an outbreak from the Malmsbury detention centre before several inmates embarked on a crime spree across Victoria earlier this year. Sergeant Gatt said that staff felt ill-equipped and inadequately trained to deal with violent offenders. He also said Victoria needed new high-security centres to separate violent inmates from those who were willing to engage

in education and required a less intensive security environment. Early this year the state government announced it would build a new high-security youth detention facility in Melbourne’s west. The inquiry heard police were being called up to six times a day to the Parkville and Malmsbury detention centres. Sergeant Gatt said the constant call-outs to youth detention centres was having a “profound” impact on police resources. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department said staff safety was a top priority and treated with the “utmost seriousness”. The spokeswoman said all violent or

dangerous behaviour must be reported by staff and referred to police for investigation. Victoria’s youth justice system has lost almost 100 workers in six years, with staff citing poor treatment by management, the Community and Public Sector Union told the inquiry. The state government has also suffered repeated legal setbacks in its attempts to keep youth inmates in a juvenile unit of the adult Barwon Prison. Youth Affairs Minister Jenny Mikakos and senior bureaucrats were unable to tell a budget estimates committee on Tuesday how much the government had spent defending three failed court cases over the teens in Barwon.

Sunbury men shape up Sunbury is working to raise the bar for men’s health. A free tradie breakfast, part of Australia’s Men’s Health Week (June 12-18), will be held in the town next week. Men of all sorts are being invited to drop by Bunnings Sunbury trade desk from 7.30-9am on Thursday, June 15, to check out the barbecue breakfast and information. Visitors will be able to get tips about working healthier and safer from Freemasons Victoria and Sunbury Community Health and learn about local activities. Free men’s health program Sons of the West has taken off since it came to Sunbury in February, with more than 50 men registering. Run by Western Bulldogs Football Club and Sunbury Community Health, the program promotes physical and mental health.

The men meet every Thursday night to hear a presentation on health, followed by an hour of physical activity. Participant John Lilley said the program had contributed to his 13-kilogram weight loss since Christmas. He said the program was also particularly beneficial for forming relationships. “I like it because of the company,” Mr Lilley said. “You meet friends.” Mr Lilley and other men he has met through Sons of the West have since formed a walking group. Last week, they walked around Sunbury to raise money for the Heart Foundation. Men from Sunbury and surrounding areas can join Sons of the West by turning up to Goonawarra Primary School at 7pm on Thursdays until the end of July. Serena Seyfort

On a roll to stay safe By Serena Seyfort World champion waterskier Jason Sleep strives to create disability awareness. The Sunbury-born sportsman was rendered a paraplegic after a motorbike accident when he was younger. For the past 14 years he has promoted the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and raised disability awareness through Disability Sport and Recreation’s program Wheeltalk. He has spent the past two weeks working with students at Kyneton’s Sacred Heart College, talking to them about safe choices, the impact decision-making can have, and how life continues after a disability.

If you can save one kid from being silly, it’s all - Jason Sleep worth it

Jason hit a tree while travelling on a motorbike at 140km/h through the bush. “I tell them about my poor decisions,” he said. “If you can save one kid from being silly, it’s all worth it.” He also uses his time at schools to highlight the potential of people with a physical disability. Since his accident, Jason has competed at an elite level in waterskiing for many years. He won two gold medals at the 2017 World Disabled Waterski Championships in April. “Just because we look a bit silly doesn’t mean we can’t do everything,” he said. During his time at Sacred Heart he led students in a wheelchair basketball game, giving them a feel for the challenges of navigating a disability. “There’s a lot of really valuable, long-lasting

being able to get out of the chair at the end of the game,” year 9 student Isaac said. “Just catching the ball was a huge challenge, let alone trying to move around and play the game,” added Genevieve, year 8.

Ad rules a sign of the times The establishment of Macedon Ranges advertising signage standards will be investigated in response to resident concerns. At its May meeting, the council resolved to explore the processes required to establish standards for commercial and community signage. Guidelines on issues such as gambling, gender, racial and sexual equality will be explored. This decision comes after Kyneton residents took a stand against gambling advertising in public places last month, successfully fighting for the removal of a gambling ad on Campaspe Place. The campaign led to Kyneton and Hanging Rock Racing Club withdrawing the ad. Resident spokeswoman Mary Reid said there was concern about the growing prevalence of gambling advertising. “Many children watching sport see so much gambling advertising that they think it’s part of the game,” she said. Ms Reid and a group of residents presented a written petition with 227 signatures supporting a ban on gambling advertising to mayor Jennifer Anderson. There were 105 signatures on a separate online petition for the removal of the Campaspe Place sign. Cr Anderson presented the petitions to council at its May meeting. The council will review the findings of the investigation at its July council meeting. Serena Seyfort

What is your connection to the Macedon Ranges?

I don’t like the way that larger parts of land are getting cut up into smaller developments. It’s destroying the culture of the old town. Also, when we replace trees I think we need to replant the same species, particularly the elms and the oaks. They’re a real source of pleasure at this time of year.

Chocolate fondant, chocolate mousse, brownies – a roll call of indulgent desserts we all love as finishers to a good meal. But did you know that chocolate not only has caffeine but is also rich in an amino acid called tyramine, which our bodies convert to noradrenaline, another stimulant? Yep, chocolate, one of the wonders of the food world, can rev us up to the point that it interferes with our ability to fall asleep. So while tucking into a lovely, oozy fondant may deeply satisfy a need for rich and sweet, it can also keep us awake later. Who hasn’t occasionally felt, after a great meal, that weird “wired” feeling for a couple of hours? How sad that divine chocolate could be the culprit! But there are other foods that appear on many menus that are just as yummy and have beneficial effects in regulating sleep cycles. They contain either magnesium and/or potassium, to help with body relaxation, or melatonin, which is used as a treatment for insomnia. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the brain’s pineal gland and is known to help regulate cycles of sleep and wakefulness. Levels start to rise in the evening to help establish sleep conditions, so ordering certain dishes when eating out can actually influence that night’s sleep. Here are six sleepy-time heroes: 1. Cherry pie or a cherry compote: A great source of antioxidants, cherries (especially when a bit tart) contain high levels of melatonin. 2. Banana bread pudding or banana banoffee: Bananas have magnesium and potassium, two essential vitamins that help with body relaxation. 3. Bundt cake: This is a delicious dessert made with ground almonds, sliced almonds and almond extract – and will deliver a good dollop of magnesium. 4. Oatmeal blondies: A distant cousin of brownies, these are packed with oatmeal, which can naturally raise blood sugar levels and make you feel sleepy. 5. Spinach pasta or spanakopita: Like bananas, spinach is packed with potassium, magnesium and melatonin – three ticks for good zzzzs. 6. Fish: Our ocean bounty is not only a fab source of protein but is believed to be helpful in regulating sleep cycles. Obviously, we’re not going to give up a good brownie – who could? Have it as a lunchtime treat instead. That provides enough time for melatonin to best do its tricks later. Carole Levy

Being considered to go en pointe is a very exciting time for a young dancer. Pointe work requires a great deal of strength, control and technique and while years of training and technical development are crucial to a dancer’s preparation for this transition, their readiness to go en pointe also relies on their physical readiness. When to go en pointe has always been a concern. In the past, dance teachers have made the decision as to when a student is ready for pointe. However, we now have much more knowledge about injury prevention in dance and what strength is required to ensure that young dancers are safe to begin their pointe training. Pre-pointe assessments have been developed to help dancers make a safe and successful transition onto pointe. They also make the decision objective as the assessment is based on strength, technique and control rather than on performance quality.

considers the young dancer’s posture and growth, flexibility, hypermobility, strength, balance, core stability and foot and ankle structure. So what age is the right age to start looking at pointe shoes? Preferably, a dancer shouldn’t go en pointe until he/she is 11 or 12 years old to give their body time to develop strong bones. However, completing a pre-pointe assessment at age 10 give young dancers time to work on any areas of their technique and strength that will allow them an easy transition onto pointe. 6 months to a year is a good length of time to work through a specifically designed exercise program that looks at all the areas needed to pass the pre-pointe assessment. Pre-pointe assessments can be conducted at Sunbury Physiotherapy Clinic by our Dance Physiotherapists

This classic 1976 house from Merchant Builders is on about 20.23 hectares with stunning bush gardens attracting hosts of birds and wildlife. Timber pitched ceilings, exposed bricks, slate flooring and picture windows define the interior style, with a lounge-dining room bisected by an island fireplace. Next to a spacious, light-filled family-meals area, the timber kitchen has a lovely country feel. Four fitted bedrooms (plus a study) include the main with en suite. An inground salt pool in a great leafy setting and a synthetic grass tennis court are outdoor treats. Other features include zoned electric slab heating, monitored security system, 5kW solar system, town water, stock yards and cleared paddocks. The idyllic property is 12 minutes from Diggers Rest station and 15 from Gisborne.

Sharp and contemporary, with timber’s warmth cleverly featured, this spacious house’s interior packs a punch in terms of liveability and style. The expansive living hub, with polished floorboards, has a wood heater set into a stacked-stone chimney; it opens via bifolds and a slider to a covered alfresco with kitchen and barbecue. The smart kitchen has charcoal vinyl-wrap cabinetry, an island bench topped with timber and incorporating a timber wine rack, plus all mod-cons. A rumpus room is separate. Of the four grey-carpeted bedrooms, two have built-in wardrobes. The shared bathroom is fully tiled in grey. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and glam en suite.

On about 1400 square metres, with scope for future subdivision, STCA, this well-presented solid house has a revamped kitchen and bathroom, neutral colour palette and some timber flooring. A carpeted living room, with wood heater, connects to the kitchen-meals zone via servery window and wide entry. The streamlined galley kitchen has plenty of storage and bench space, an electric cooker and a dishwasher. The four bedrooms – three with built-in wardrobes – share a grey and off-white bathroom with modern pedestal basin and good storage. Evaporative cooling tames hot summers, while outside there’s a 6x18-metre, concrete-floored shed with power and a wood heater for man-caving. A driveway heads through wide side gates for van/boat parking and the vast backyard has neat landscaping.

This quality-built Merchant Builders house is rich in country-chic, with a decor that shows a contemporary treatment on timber ceilings and beams – preserving and highlighting original character. The house, surrounded by about 0.8 hectares of glorious gardens, has four bedrooms, a fitted study and three bathrooms in a versatile floor plan. The recently revamped kitchen has new mod-cons and a pantry that leads to a fab laundry/mudroom. Many nooks, arbours and paved areas provide relaxation spots, while an inground pool/ spa sits beside a huge covered pergola and a pool house contains a kitchenette and toilet. Among many perks are three-phase zoned electric slab heating, a split-system, a triple garage/gym (3-phase power), ornamental dam, town and bore water, fruit trees and vegie patch.

Built to a high standard by Elite Homes – a construction outfit that’s won several national and state Master Builders Association awards for excellence in the past seven years – this spanking new California bungalow-style house is a corker for young families, downsizers and travelling retirees. Period references are found in the stepped cornices and skirts, Art Deco ceiling plasterwork and contemporary sash windows, while the 2.7-metre ceilings, extra-height doors and beautiful blackbutt flooring underscore the quality found throughout.

Private sale

A six-star energy rating, double-glazing all around and Braemar ducted heating, refrigerated cooling, a split-system and instantaneous gas HWS are liveability upsides. Entry is to a long hallway, with the immediate impression of space and light very strong – emphasised by a white-on-white palette with soft-grey accents. The three fitted bedrooms are along the hallway, as are the laundry with lots of storage and access to a covered porch, and the sleek main bathroom with freestanding oval tub and raised basin

atop a marble-look composite stone vanity bench. The toilet is separate. The main bedroom, loaded with the charm of ceiling plasterwork and three pendants, the period style of which also graces other rooms, has a walk-in wardrobe and a pearl-grey and white en suite with, again, a raised basin atop composite stone. At entry hall’s end, a timber-framed glass door ushers in the sizeable living hub. The kitchen in here is a great workspace/ entertainment pivot. It has a huge square island bench topped with stone matching other wet rooms, two-toned cabinetry in dove-grey and white,

white splashback tiles and dishwasher and 900mm cooker bearing the Smeg label. Out back, a covered timber deck with ceiling fan has steps down to a courtyard that’s beautified with easy-care synthetic grass and camellias. Two more units are on the market as part of this development – of different sizes but similarly appointed. Two have garages, while the other has a carport. Both train station and village centre are within seven-minute walks. Carole Levy 17 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 6, 2017

your key to local real estate Janis Paul

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Janis has been in the property game for many years, opening her own agency in 2001. She brings real estate academic qualifications to her business, along with being a Justice of the Peace (a member of the Royal Victorian Association of Honorary Justices).

Trending: The wonderful township of New Gisborne is thriving. Known for its eclectic mix of old-world properties and new contemporary dwellings, Baringo Food and Wine Co and of course the train station, New Gisborne has buyers flocking to be a part of this trendy scene. A tightly held market with around 27 sales to date this year, the town’s median house price according to RP Data is currently sitting at $540,000 - a healthy increase of 9.48 per cent in the past 12 months. With an under-supply of homes and a strong number of buyers looking to embrace everything that is New Gisborne, I can only see house prices improving in the area for now and into the future.

A Macedon Ranges local since 1975, Jan and her husband James have raised two children in the area and have deep community connections. Her intimate knowledge of the whole area serves her well, with an ability to offer insider advice to her vendors and purchasers. Jan and James have also owned properties in Macedon, Mount Macedon, Woodend and Gisborne, giving her extra insight into the challenges and rewards of the selling and buying process. Newcomers to the area are particularly helped with her extra knowledge.

Market Advice: New Gisborne is a traditionally tightly held market, with new listings always eagerly sought. Demand certainly exceeds supply so anyone looking to sell will likely enjoy premium results. The Chessy Park estate, with its stock of contemporary homes, remains popular, while homes on acreage are particularly attracting strong interest. New Gisborne also attracts passive investors who expect the town to continue growing and, with the station and immediate freeway access, this is savvy investing. Commuters who love New Gisborne’s new-found trendiness are also keen buyers into the area. Baringo Food & Wine Co has added to the town’s kudos, and New Gisborne and Holy Cross primary schools and Gisborne Montessori School cater for young families.

Director, Gisborne & Macedon Ranges Real Estate

She has a caring and friendly nature, is always up for a chat and has great listening and communication skills. She says that even if someone isn’t contemplating selling or buying right now, she’s always available to discuss the market in general or to assist with any plans, long-term or immediate. A true ‘hands-on’ director, Jan is ready to go the proverbial ‘extra mile’ for her clients to gain them the outcomes they seek and always aims for results beyond expectation. She shares clients’ journeys toward fulfilling their dreams, remaining empathetic, open and enthusiastic.

“A LITTLE BIT OF NOSTALGIA” This has been a sad few weeks in many ways and though I have been extremely angry and disturbed by recent events, I felt that we all deserved a bit of light relief- a little bit of nostalgia. The recent “icy blast” is a sharp reminder that winter is here. Richard and I were enjoying a cuppa in our warm home-the solid fuel heater was simmering along and the ducted heating was on as well-how very indulgent! We were thinking of our childhood and how we kept warm.

Outside yards are extremely well fenced providing a very safe area for children and pets.

My first memories were of an open fireplace on extendable toasting forks, hot toast & dripping! I can only remember one form of heating, until at some stage my parents purchased an radiant electric heater with two elements. This was on the west coast of Tasmania and believe me it was cold!

The 6m x 18m approx. Colorbond shed boasts concrete flooring, power and a solid fuel heater. Wide access gives space for cars, boat, caravan, truck or horse float.

Many of you will remember lino covered floors, a mat if you were lucky, bed socks and a hot water bottle tucked inside its knitted cover and what about the “good old” briquette heaters! They were efficient, threw out great heat but “oh my goodness” the mess! That fine yellow dust seemed to find its way into everything. Kero heaters were all the rage for a time and I’m sure we all remember the smell! Thank goodness we only see them occasionally these days.

There is room here for the whole family to enjoy- be quick to inspect!!

• Four bedrooms- 3 with built in robes

102 Main Street, Romsey 3434 PH: 5429 5544

OPEN 7 DAYS

With our wonderful instant “push of a button” heating we really are quite spoilt. We have the choice of ducted - gas or electric, split systems, gas log fires or for the traditionalists, a solid fuel heater and winter is far more pleasant. Gone are the bed socks, the hot water bottles and flannelette nightie or PJs. Enjoy the winter and stay warm. • Column supplied by Liz Dormontt.

SPORT Jets crash in shock loss By Tara Murray Sunbury Jets’ women’s side suffered its first defeat since 2015, when it went down to Hume City Broncos in a thriller on Sunday. After going through the 2016 Big V undefeated on the way to a division 1 title, the Jets won their first 11 games this season in state championship division. On Sunday, they had their work cut out for them against a full-strength Broncos side. The Broncos jumped the Jets early and led by as much as 14 points in the first half. The Jets worked their way back into the game and in the dying minutes it was anyone’s game. Going basket-for-basket in the last few minutes, the Jets levelled the scores more than once, but couldn’t hit the front and the Broncos won 70-67. Jets’ coach Kennedy Kereama found some positive from the game, which could have quite easily ended in a big defeat. “Hume did a really good job and they deserve credit for that,” he said. “They were good at rebounding and had different players stepping up at different times. “We got ourselves in foul trouble and losing Courtney [Duever] when she was fouled out with a big chunk of the last quarter left hurt us . “We showed some real grit and the game could have gone either way. It showed that if a team wants to beat us they have to play four quarters.” Duever top-scored with 25 points, while Monique Stevens and Orla O’Reilly scored 17 points each. Kereama said while the loss was disappointing, they weren’t too concerned. “It had to happen eventually. “I couldn’t tell you how many games we had won in a row but it wasn’t important, how we play each week is important and how we go about it is. “It gives us things to work on … we’ve already evaluated the game and put it behind us.” The Jets’ have a bye this weekend due to the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. They enter the break on top of the ladder with an 11-1 record. Kereama doesn’t get a week off for the bye, as he heads to a New Zealand Tall Ferns training camp. Josie Stockill is also attending the camp. Meanwhile the Jets’ division 1 men’s side won a thriller against Melton Thoroughbreds 106-102.

Joel steps up to the plate for his state

Joel Prpic is pitching for a long baseball career. (Shawn Smits)

Joel Prpic is hitting home runs on the baseball field. The nearly 13-year-old will compete at a second straight Australian Little League Championships before heading to the US with the Victorian Kookaburras. He will compete at the Australian championships starting this week as part of Northern Diamondbacks under-12 team, which is made up of the best players from the northern region. To qualify for the national titles the Diamondbacks had to finish in the top-three teams at the state championships earlier this year. They finished third. Prpic said he hoped the side would go better than last year, when they finished with four wins and four losses. “We did OK last year,” he said. “I think it will help being the second time I’m going. We’ve got better and I think we have a better side.” He will play a major role for the team as one of the side’s top-three pitchers and the first-pick first base fielder. While Prpic and the Diamondbacks had

been working toward making the national titles, his selection in the Kookaburras tour in July came as a shock. The Kookaburras were set up by a group of baseball parents in 2014 to give Victorian children the opportunity to tour other countries. This year they’re sending three teams from under-14s to under-16s. “I’m going in the under-14 age group,” Prpic said. “I only just moved to the higher age group, so I was quite surprised. “I’m the youngest player in the team. We get to see the Texas Rangers and also get to go to Los Angles.” The dedicated teenager, who travels from Riddells Creek to play for Essendon Baseball Club, has high ambitions when it comes to his baseball career. “I can try out for the Diamondbacks and Kookaburras the next few years. I’d love to be selected in the state team. “Then I want to eventually go to college.”

Big effort pays off as Lions get a third win The Sunbury Lions have been rewarded for their hard work with their side’s third win of the Ballarat Football League season. The Lions have had an inconsistent season so far, yet if luck had gone their way could easily have had another two wins. On Saturday, they were tested by a much improved Sebastopol and passed with flying colours. The Lions took a while to get going, but as the game wore on they looked the better side. The Lions kicked away late in the game for a 17.11 (113)-7.6 (48) win. Lions coach Ben Jordan said having to work hard for the win made it more rewarding. “It wasn’t an easy win,” he said. “The boys had to earn it. In patches today, Sebastopol moved the ball well and competed around the footy. “We were a bit wasteful and over-used the ball, but we worked our way into the game and the margin blew out. “It was nice to get a 10-goal win – we needed a bit of percentage.” The Lions’ shared the goals around, which is a big tick for the new-look forward line. Jordan said that if the players could continue with the sort of winning form they displayed against Sebastopol, more big scores could be on the way. He said they had winners all across the ground, with defenders Dwain Sanderson and Josh Guthrie, David Kovacevic, Andrew Duhau and Tom Donoghue in the middle, and Patrick MacDonough up forward the standouts. A couple of younger players, Dean Muir and William Healy, who spent a lot of the match on former AFL player Brett Goodes, were also impressive. The win leaves the Lions sitting sixth on the ladder. They remain on the road this week to take on Redan in the battle of the Lions in what will be the second of four games in a row in Ballarat for Sunbury. Jordan said it would be a big challenge, but that it was the side’s only run of games in Ballarat for the season. “It means we have more home games in the run home,” he said. The Lions will be without star defender Adam Short, who has been ruled out indefinitely. Short has been in and out of the side the last few weeks with injury. Jordan said they were looking to get lots of treatment into him so when he returns he would be fully fit. The Lions will also lose Grant Valles who is heading overseas, while Tristan Lenaz pulled up sore, but Jordan was hopeful he would be fit for the Redan game. Meanwhile, the top-of-the-ladder clash in A-grade netball was a fizzer with the Lions easily beating Sebastopol 69-29. Chloe Curran scored 53 goals for the Lions, while Ruth Smith chipped in with 16. Curran was named best on court. The Lions’ women’s football side had a bye. The Lions are one of two undefeated teams after seven rounds. Tara Murray

Macedon sets the standard with a solid win Macedon has stamped itself as the Riddell District Netball League pacesetters, with a win against Romsey on Saturday. Both teams entered the match undefeated – Romsey as the star-studded side which has impressed everyone in the early rounds; the Cats having only played one team in the top six, so questions remained whether they could match it with the top sides. On Saturday, the Cats showed everybody they mean business, taking a control of the match after quarter-time. Opening up a six-goal lead at half-time, they never lost the lead on the way to a 52-47 win. Macedon coach Ciara Stewart said the team had been looking forward to challenging itself against the top sides.

“We knew this would give us a proper idea of where we were in the standings,” she said. “I thought if we could play a really good game I’d be happy. Once we were in the lead early I thought we were a chance. “We played four quarters of solid quality netball. We were really patient.” The two sides played a very different game. The Cats played just seven players, while the Redbacks made multiple changes each quarter to try to find the right mix. Stewart said playing just seven players and only having eight players to choose from, was a blessing. “We only had eight players available and two of them were fill-ins,” she said. “Consistency was a key for us. They kept

making changes all game and calling injury time-outs and we just kept doing what we were doing. “Everyone was on song.” Chloe Wilson shot 29 goals from 41 attempts. Stewart was thrilled with the performance of Tara Burnip who shot 23 goals, missing just two shots. Hope Evans shot 28 goals from 30 attempts for the Redbacks. The Cats are now a game clear on top of the ladder, and Romsey slipped to third behind Lancefield. Both sides have a bye this weekend, with no games across the Queen’s Birthday weekend. Stewart said she would prefer to have a match this week.

“I don’t think it’s overly effective,” she said. “We’re just finding rhythm. Saturday was the first real test for Katie [Clarke] and Janelle [Birch] together in defence and they will keep going better. “We’re yet to have our full team available for a whole game. We’ve still got matches against Melton Centrals, Lancefield and Diggers Rest, so we need as much court time together.” In other matches, results went as expected. Lancefield was too good for Diggers Rest, Riddell returned to the winners’ list with a win against Rockbank, Rupertswood smashed Sunbury Kangaroos, while Melton Centrals defeated Woodend-Hesket.

Gisborne recorded a much-needed win against Castlemaine on Saturday in the Bendigo Football League. The Bulldogs dominated the contest after quarter-time and if not for poor kicking could have won by much more than 75 points. The final score was 20.25 (145)-11.4 (70). Kyneton beat Eaglehawk 18.11 (119)-17.10 (112).

East Sunbury returned to the winners’ list in Essendon District Football League division 2.

Sharks sharp in derby By Tara Murray Rupertswood has rebounded from a poor two weeks to take home the points in the Sunbury derby in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday. After a less than convincing win against Riddell and a disappointing loss against Romsey, the pressure was on the Sharks to respond against the Sunbury Kangaroos. Both sides had periods of dominance and the lead changed in every quarter. When the Kangaroos hit the front early in the fourth quarter, it looked like they would storm home. The Sharks responded, regained control and lead until the final siren for a 18.11 (119)-15.7 (97) victory. Sharks coach Kevin Fitzgerald was thrilled to get the win against a side he rates highly. “I thought we were good today,” he said. “I thought we responded well. We got challenged 28 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 6, 2017

and got behind a few times, and once again we nearly kicked ourselves out of it with poor kicking, but I thought we had control. We had the resolve to keep going. “We were really pleased as we had quite a few missing today … there’s blokes who came in and did their jobs, which is all we can ask for.” Fitzgerald said the key to getting back into the game after a slow start was obtaining more of the ball in the middle of the ground. “We thought we were beaten in the midfield through the first quarter,” he said. “I thought our midfield responded really well to what we asked at quarter-time and after that we were really good.” The midfield dominance made life easier for the forwards who got more opportunities. Sean Hetherington kicked five goals for the Sharks in a best-on-ground performance, while five other players kicked multiple goals. Bryce Caldone and Jayden Swallow both played their

first senior game for the Sharks; Keegan Guy made his senior debut the previous week. Ryan Pretty kicked five goals for the Kangaroos. The Sharks are third with a 5-2 record heading into the Queen’s Birthday weekend bye. Fitzgerald said they were hoping to get a few of their injured players back for their next match, against Melton Centrals. “Joel West should definitely be available and Luke Cannon should be as well,” he said. “Our aim was to start better than last season. We think to win you need to be in the top three and all along we’ve aimed to be in that position. “It’s nice to keep racking up the wins.” Woodend-Hesket smashed Broadford by 186 points, Wallan defeated Melton Centrals, Riddell was too good for Rockbank, Diggers Rest did it with ease against Lancefield and Macedon kept its undefeated record in tact against Romsey.

ENGINE \ 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol POWER \ 81kW at 5500rpm

hough Peugeot got plenty right with the original 2008 crossover, it freely admits some elements were wrong. The brand did an admirable job anticipating the trend for compact SUVs, beating many rivals to market when the city SUV, based on the 308 hatch, arrived in 2013. But key ingredients weren’t quite right – the entry-level model was available only as a five-speed manual, other variants were saddled with an old four-speed auto. Peugeot has reworked its line-up for 2017, replacing a choice of two transmissions and three engines with a single 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol motor mated to a six-speed automatic. Finding that the majority of baby SUV buyers were avoiding cut-price models, the brand added extra features to its 2008 Active entry point, which has climbed from $21,990 (manual) to $26,490 plus on-road costs. The new entry-level car features a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink, a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, single-zone air-conditioning and 16-inch alloy wheels. But it doesn’t have autonomous emergency braking, which is reserved for the next rung up. Customers prepared to pay $30,990 can get into a 2008 Allure, which offers 17-inch alloy wheels, sat nav, self-parking and dual-zone climate control. The top-line 2008 GT-Line uses the same engine as lesser models. The $32,990 price gets you cosmetic upgrades. On the inside, the 2008 persists with Peugeot’s odd ergonomics framed around a tiny, low-set steering wheel and highmounted driver instruments that can be

TORQUE \ 205Nm at 1500rpm TRANSMISSION \ Six-speed automatic, front-wheel-drive FUEL USE \ 4.8L/100km TO TEST DRIVE \ Peugeot.com.au

obscured by the controls. Front occupant space is more than passable, but rear room is a little tight. While much of the 2008 remains unchanged since it first arrived, the 2017 model’s engine is now a turbocharged three-cylinder petrol motor borrowed from the 308 hatchback. It offers a charming thrum with more character

than regular four-cylinder engines, but can grumble and shudder under load at low revs. The 2008 offers confident road-holding and decent composure in the bends. It doesn’t ride quite as well as we’ve come to expect from Peugeot and the little engine can feel stressed when pressed. Like many examples of this breed, the 2008

offers little to recommend it over a similarly priced conventional car such as Peugeot’s excellent 308 hatch. But those who do gravitate toward the butch styling and extra ground clearance will be happy to see Peugeot has righted the wrongs of its original model. David McCowen
