Sunbury’s bases loaded Three Sunbury teenagers have their eyes on selection in an Australian softball team after success at the recent National Softball Championships. Hunter Kelly, 15, Matthew Bedwell, 13, and Taliah Kelly, 13 tasted success in the championships last month. Matthew’s under 14s team achieved first place in the Australian regional championships, while Hunter and his under 16s team were the runners-up in the national championships. Taliah competed in the under 14 Australia regional championships, placing fifth overall. The Sunbury Softball Association players now have hopes to be selected in an Australian softball squad. Matthew’s mum and association president Kathy Bedwell said she was thrilled with the teens success. “They all have a great training ethic and they are all nice kids,” she said. “They deserve the success that they have had. “We were robbed just before Christmas and all our high tech equipment … was stolen. “These guys have had to do the hard yards at home and elsewhere to get their training up to scratch, which they have with no complaints.” Jessica Micallef

New life for Jacksons Hill By Jessica Micallef Sunbury’s historic Jacksons Hill site is set for a major transformation as planning begins on a long-awaited community hub. Four buildings on the site have now been handed to Hume council to develop stage one of the Sunbury Community, Arts and Culture Precinct. The 32-hectare Jacksons Hill site, which was previously owned by Victoria University, was purchased by the state government in December 2018. As part of the sale, it was agreed four buildings would be handed over to the council to support the development of a community hub.

The council gained ownership of the buildings in December last year. Current tenants, the Boilerhouse Theatre Company, Sunbury Primary School and Sunbury and Macedon Ranges Specialists School, will all remain on the site. Hume mayor Carly Moore said the transfer of assets to the council was a “significant step” to securing the historic site for the future. “We know that the future use and development of the Sunbury Community, Arts and Culture Precinct is of great interest to our community,” she said. “The council … looks forward to working with the community to realise this vision and its revitalisation.”

We at Synergy are excited to announce - We now offer Olaplex for all your “in-salon services” & Olaplex 3 home use product.

Sunbury MP Josh Bull said he was delighted the council would be able to provide the community with a “first class” arts, education and community precinct. “We’ve always said that the Jacksons Hill precinct needs a vision and a new future,” he said. Nine precincts have been planned on the site as part of the Victorian Planning Authority’s Master Plan for Jacksons Hill released last year, including an education and open space, arts and culture precinct, village green and a residential area. The Victoria Planning Authority worked with community groups for 18 months to help shape the final plan to guide the site’s future use.

As part of the plan, heritage buildings on the site will be preserved and adapted for new use, including new housing. New buildings will be the same height or lower than existing buildings to protect the site’s character. More than $17 million was allocated in the 2018-19 state budget to renovate the heritage buildings of three education and community facilities. The funding included $10.8 million to renovate Sunbury and Macedon Ranges Specialists School, including expanding two of the school’s heritage buildings and $3 million to upgrade Sunbury Primary School. Hume council received $3 million as part of the state budget funding.

Childcare fees hit hip pocket By Jessica Micallef Hourly fees for childcare in the Macedon Ranges are above the national average, new data shows. Families in the Macedon Ranges were paying $10.12 per hour on average for centre-based day care in September last year, the federal government’s Department of Education, Skills and Employment data revealed. The national average hourly fee for centre-based day care in September 2019 was $9.90. The data also revealed childcare fees in the

Families are already under financial strain

- Rob Mitchell Macedon Ranges rose by 5.2 per cent between September 2018 and September 2019. In Sunbury, families were paying on average $9.60 per hour for centre-based day care in September last year, 30 cents below the national average. However, there was a 5.6 per cent increase in hourly fees in Sunbury childcare centres between September 2018 and September 2019.

McEwen MP Rob Mitchell said families were paying “significantly more out-of-pocket” for childcare. “When families are already under financial strain with wages not growing while the expenses do, the last thing they need is to be stretched yet again to cover vital childcare needs,” he said. “Families in McEwen are being crippled under soaring childcare fees. “The government must act urgently to ensure high quality education is affordable and accessible for every child in our community.” Education Minister Dan Tehan said

MAFS star out of his comfort zone

Police hunt for kebab shop shooter

A “simple“ Sunbury bloke is hoping to find love. David, 31, has lived in Sunbury for as long as he can remember and last week got “hitched“ on the popular reality TV show Married at First Sight. He told Star Weekly the experiment took him out of his comfort zone. “I’ve been in a few pretty serious relationships. The last one was with a police officer which wasn’t successful – it lasted about 12 months. “It seems to be the trend with me. I date someone for six to 12 months and then something happens or they want to change something about me or vice versa and it doesn’t work.” This time it may be different. In the lead-up to his Married at First Sight wedding, David felt the nerves approach as his “bride” walked down the aisle. “It’s pretty daunting,” he said. “There are a lot of eyes on you, with all the cameras, and it’s a lot to take in especially for a simple bloke like me. “I was a fish out of water. The filming was done at all these … five star hotels. That’s not my usual scene. “When I am going on vacation, I go the Murray [River].” David hasn’t let his reality TV experience get the best of him. “I learnt a lot about myself and not everyone had the same experience as I did.” He now works and lives in Charlton and is chasing his dream of becoming a “real life cowboy”. “Charlton is where I belong. “I’ve always been a Sunbury boy as long as I can remember. I moved to Toolern Vale about 18 months ago and this is the first time moving away from home.”

A Sunbury kebab shop owner is recovering in hospital after he was shot in the leg on Saturday morning. Yusuf Kucukbas and his wife were returning home to their Belleview Drive property about 1am on Saturday, after attending a wedding, when Mr Kucukbas was shot by a male offender. The gunman fled the scene in what is believed to be a white or silver four-wheel drive. The owner of Cheeky Kebabs, Mr Kucukbas, 57, was taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries, where he remains in a stable condition. Detective Senior Constable Mark Walsh said the masked gunman said nothing as he shot Mr Kucukbas. “He’s just arrived home from a family wedding and as he’s approached the door, the male offender has walked up to him … has said nothing to him and has shot him right away,” he told The Age. “There’s nothing in the victim’s background to suggest why … there’s no ongoing disputes. “We’ve spoken to the entire family. The fact that their father’s been targeted coming home from a wedding … they’re really shaken.” Investigators believe the four-wheel-drive may have been in the area for an extended period of time in the lead-up to the shooting. Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen the vehicle to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

out-of-pocket costs for families were 4.2 per cent lower than they were before the introduction of the Child Care Subsidy in July 2018. Mr Tehan said eligible families received up to 85 per cent off their childcare fees through the subsidy. “Our government’s Child Care Subsidy is designed to assist parents with the cost of childcare while they’re working, training, studying or volunteering,” he said. “Under the Child Care Subsidy, all families are expected to make a co-contribution to the cost of their childcare fees based on their income.“

Waters said the show was put together in 1992, 12 years after Lennon’s death. “I wanted to do something with music and spoken word so I decided on John Lennon and his music,” he said. “He’s a man who has written songs about his own life.

Teens urged to get immunised By Jessica Micallef Teenagers in Macedon Ranges and Hume are being urged to get immunised against cancer-causing HPV as the new school year begins. Data released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare revealed that not all eligible teenagers are taking advantage of the free immunisation program provided in schools. The data showed 20 per cent of girls living in the north west of Melbourne, taking in Hume and the Macedon Ranges, were not fully

immunised against HPV in 2015-16. About 24 per cent of boys living in the same region were also not fully immunised during the same period. The HPV vaccine, known as Gardasil 9, is provided to all year 7 students for free under the National HPV Vaccination Program. The vaccine protects against nine types of HPV which causes about 90 per cent of cervical cancers in women and 95 per cent of all HPV-related cancers in men. Cancer Council Victoria’s screening, early detecting and immunisation manager, Kate

Broun said while vaccination rates were in line with the state average, it was still crucial that all eligible teenagers participate in the vaccination program. “It is fantastic that lots of … parents are choosing to protect their children, but there is still work to be done to ensure that all teens

have the opportunity to complete the free vaccine course and protect themselves against cancer-causing HPV,” she said. “The vaccine is most effective when given at age 12-13. Two injections are needed with the second dose administrated six to 12 months after the first. We are urging parents to sign the vaccine consent form and ensure their teen receives both doses.” According to Cancer Council Victoria, there has been a 93 per cent reduction in the two most serious types of HPV since the vaccination program was implemented in 2007.

Kids raise fire funds A group of children has banded together to support their local CFA. After witnessing a grassfire at the back of their Sunbury home on new year’s day, Ollie, 10, Isla, 8, and Charlie 5, decided to support their firies by raising money for the Sunbury CFA. Their mum Bianca Kerr said she was proud of her children for taking the lead during a “traumatic time“. “Where we live, we back onto 600 acres of grassland – that caught fire,” she said. “Our house was directly in line of that. During that day and the next few days, the fire brigades set up a place where they would come in and out from. “A lot of people would come and look at the fire. We had hundreds of cars coming up and we are in a dead end street. “In the course of the days, our kids decided to take a bucket down, asking to donate to the

Þ« Ì iÀ>«Þ ÊÊÊÊ i «Ã

Sunbury CFA because they could see what they were doing.” On the first day of the children’s fundraising efforts, they raised $300. The youngsters then set their eyes on a new goal before family members and fellow neighbours Annie, Amy and Tayla joined in on the efforts. “They decided they would go down the next day and try and make $500,” Ms Kerr said. “Then they wanted to try and hit $1000. They were so excited, they raised $1150. “We are really proud of them. We live in a small community and it felt like they were learning what community spirit is about.” The children presented the money to the Sunbury CFA last Monday. Jessica Micallef Tayla, Charlie, Ollie and Isla have raised funds for the Sunbury CFA. (Shawn Smits) 204069_01

Summer flicks just for kicks

Heath Venn is renting out his pool this summer. (Pictures: Damjan Janevski) 203608

Pool app makes a splash By Alesha Capone An app and website called Swimply is making a splash across the north west. The concept behind the project – described as “the Airbnb for swimming pools” – is to connect owners of private pools with people looking for a place to swim. Pool owners charge an hourly rate for the use of their pool and people wanting to take a dip can search Swimply for pools to rent in their

area. Werribee man Heath Venn has signed up to the app to rent his backyard pool out to people seeking relief from the summer heat. “People can come in and relax, just have fun and that’s what it’s all about,” he said. Mr Venn said he and his partner Tori planned to use the funds earned from renting out the pool to upgrade their backyard – he is in the process of building a fire-pit near the pool. Mr Venn said it made sense for other people to use the pool, when he, Tori and their children

were otherwise occupied. “Why let this awesome pool go to waste?” he said. Mr Venn, who charges $40 per hour for his pool, said the only difficulty with Swimply could be if people wanted to book the pool while he and Tori were both at work or away from home. Mr Venn said that apps such as Swimply were “the way of the future”, much like Uber and Airbnb. Details: swimply.com

‘Cat’ moves on property portal The rapid growth of property portal realestateview.com.au (REV) has continued, with the appointment of Antony Catalano as a board member. Mr Catalano and his business partner, billionaire investor Alex Waislitz, who acquired Australia Community Media (ACM) last year, now hold the largest interest in realestateview. com.au, with an economic stake of 26 per cent. REV is the third largest property portal in Australia. Its audience has grown by more than 40 per cent over the past 12 months. Realestateview.com.au chief executive Tony Balazs said the business had undergone a period of rapid transformation. “The opportunity to work with ACM and extend our brand through their network is a clear vote of confidence for the work we’ve been doing. The opportunity will allow us to further grow our audience and deliver improved results for our customers,” he said. “Antony has an impressive track record of rapidly growing media businesses, particularly in the real estate category. I feel confident that realestateview.com.au will grow its market value immensely by becoming part of Antony’s cross-platform media network.” Mr Catalano’s appointment to the board follows the launch of realestateview.com.au and CoreLogic’s price estimator late last year. Mr Catalano said realestateview.com.au had a range of industry attractions but its most valuable asset was it’s highly engaged audience. “This audience, coupled with the ability to deliver advertising solutions at speed, presents a compelling opportunity to create

a multi-pronged media group inclusive of a property portal,” he said. Star News Group, publisher of this title, has been an investor in REV since 2017 along with a number of other independent media publishers. Star News Group managing director Paul Thomas said: “This is a business with a significant audience and high growth. “Antony Catalano and his 170 plus regional titles involvement will assist that rapid expansion. It will be a win for agents, vendors and buyers.”

Hume residents who are passionate about the environment are being encouraged to sign up as an Enviro Champion. The council’s Enviro Champions training program kicks off on February 16, providing participants with 10 weeks of training to help them deliver a project to better the community. Mayor Carly Moore said the program has become very popular and has helped many projects become a reality. “If you are a Hume resident who is passionate about the environment and wishes to make a difference in your local community, joining Enviro Champions is an ideal way for you to realise your goals,” she said. “This program is an opportunity for people to meet to support, protect and strengthen the environment and the community through the

training and projects they choose to pursue. “You are not required to have a specific project in mind to join. If you care about the environment and want to make like-minded friends, you are a potential Enviro Champ.” Previous Enviro Champions projects have included a Hume seed library, online social media eco hub, making reusable produce bags and action on climate change. The training sessions will be held on Wednesdays from 6-8.30pm and participants can work alone or as part of a team to develop a project. The program also includes day-time field trips and an evening graduation. Details: www.hume.vic.gov.au/envirochamps Laura Michell

MY PLACE Sunbury’s Tracie Oldham was the joint winner of Hume’s Citizen of the Year for her tireless work advocating for mental health and fighting for the “underdog”. She chats with Jessica Micallef.

What are you passionate about? I have always fought for the underdog. I become incensed when I see any type of injustice. I believe in giving a voice to voiceless. How did it feel to know you had been named joint Citizen of the Year? I have been a volunteer my entire adult life. It is sometimes a very thankless task, but you don’t do it for thanks or praise. You do it because someone is struggling and you are in a position to give them a helping hand. So when I received the phone call informing me I was to receive an award I was speechless. I felt there were more worthy people than I and I was very humbled. Tell me about your work in mental health? I run multiple peer support groups which offer support and networks for people with their personal struggles, especially domestic violence victims, adult survivors of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, LGBTQIA+, coming out and questioning sexuality and gender. I also run Speak Up – All Survivors Matter. As a motivational speaker … I share my story of anxiety, depression and recovery to increase awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage people to speak up about how they’re feeling and to take action to get help.

What motivated you to work in this area? I volunteer because I remember what it was like to struggle and to be alone with no support. I know exactly how it feels to cry in the shower so no one can hear you and waiting for everyone to fall asleep so you can fall apart. This is why I help people. When I hear of people going through a dark time, I offer a little light by letting them know that there are services in Sunbury and Hume that will help them and that they don’t have to suffer alone. What do you enjoy most about it? I always feel happy when I help someone else, and at the same time I am reminded about all the blessings I have. It makes me forget about my problems by helping someone through theirs. Knowing that in some small way I have made a difference to someone’s life is a blessing. If you could change one thing about the area what would it be? I would like a 24-hour triage outreach centre and domestic violence shelter for both women and men established in Sunbury. Rural and regional Victorians experience mental health issues and psychological distress at a similar rate to people living in the city. However, they are much less likely to access support. The services they do access are often provided by professionals with less training. The tragic consequences of this gap are higher rates of suicide and poorer life expectancy. I would like to see an increase in funding for rural mental health services providing clinical care, so people don’t feel isolated and abandoned.

(Damjan Janevski)

What is your connection to Sunbury and/or Macedon Ranges? I moved to Sunbury in 1994, built a home and have raised three children, one of which was born here at the old Sunbury Hospital. As they were growing up I was actively involved in kinder, school and sports committees.

A STAR WEEKLY FEATURE

Care Manager Lesley Mayman with Don and Jean Chesworth. (Damjan Janevski)

Dynamic duo endorses caring centre Don and Jean Chesworth have been supported by Sunbury Community Health for more than 20 years. Turning 90 and 89 respectively this year, the coupleâ€™s story is a dynamic one, marking the challenges and successes facing many as they age. Jo Howard, Health and Wellbeing Manager, shares that story: â€œIn the early stages of ageing, Don and Jean attended a range of allied health services at our centre, including podiatry and physiotherapy,â€? she explains. â€œThey also joined a weekly exercise group to maintain good health and mobility in the years ahead. â€œLater, the pair asked for a home assessment from an occupational therapist who was able to give advice about kitchen and mobility aids as their physical functions and ability to be independent in everyday tasks became affected. â€œThe Sunbury Community Health volunteer driving service helped them to get to medical appointments when driving out of Sunbury became difficult.â€? As their health and mobility declined in ensuing years, it was time for a Home Care Package â€“ and they chose Sunbury Community Health as their provider. Theyâ€™d always felt happy over the years with the services and the people so it was an easy decision.

Jo explains what the Home Care Package did for Don and Jean. â€œThey wanted to continue with independent living in their own home, so Don and Jean were allocated a Care Manager to work with them. â€œNow they get extra services, such as personal care for showers, household cleaning, gardening, physiotherapy, podiatry, transport, community access and shopping. â€œThey play an active role in the management of their Home Care Package and have regular meetings with their Care Manager to review and discuss their Care Plan.â€? Jo concludes by thanking Don and Jean for allowing the centre to be part of their lives over a long time. â€œWe look forward to assisting you both for many more to come. We think you are both amazing members of the Sunbury community!â€? Anyone interested in Home Care Packages needs to first inquire via My Aged Care, by calling 1800 200 422. Sunbury Community Health can also help you with accessing Home Care Packages. Sunbury Community Health, 12-28 Macedon Street, Sunbury. Opens 8.30am-5pm MondayFriday.

This is one of those places that’s immediately inviting. It has stylish presentation, spacious rooms, natural light and a living area with plenty of room for spreading out. The pearl-grey wall palette is perfect for today’s look, with grey carpet and roller blinds keeping things fresh, streamlined and harmonious, while the block of about 500 square metres offers loads of space out back for family enjoyment. Beyond an established garden and porch, entry is to a tiled hallway with the roomy main bedroom to the left. This has a walk-in robe and a smart en suite with a raised square basin atop the vanity. The remaining three fitted bedrooms are along another hallway which they share with the main bathroom, separate toilet, and laundry with french-door closet. The kitchen, within the living space, has an abundance of white cupboards plus a pantry, an island brekkie bench for at least four, mid-grey splashback tiles and a dishwasher, underbench oven and gas cooktop. Gas ducted heating and a split-system take care of Lancefield’s temperature extremes. An alfresco area, with concrete underfoot and ceiling fan above, links with the backyard where pittosporums marching along the back fence promise much future leafiness. This appealing property also has a drive-through double garage with internal access via the kitchen.

Finals down to the wire

Top four set as finals approach

By Tara Murray The fight for finals spots in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association Johnstone Shield will go down to the final two rounds. Just 14 points separate the top six teams, with just one loss possibly meaning season over for the finals contenders. East Sunbury has opened a slight gap at the top of the table with a win in the top of the table clash against Gisborne. The Thunder made 131 and were bowled out with two balls remaining in its overs. Shannon McDorman was the pick of the batters, making 29. The Dragons got nowhere near the total, bowled out for 76. Lachlan Wilkins took three wickets, as the Thunder shared the wickets around. Rupertswood remains in fourth spot after a big win against Sunbury United. Rupo made 5-209 off its overs, with Paul McGarry top scoring with 58 at the top of the order. The Sharks bowlers did a good job and were able to restrict United to 9-129. Rupo skipper Andrew Pizaro continued his good season, taking four wickets. Rupo sits in fifth spot, but just three points behind second. Sunbury Kangaroos, who are 1.24 points behind Rupo, made easy work of Macedon. The Cats were bowled out for 96 with Jas King taking 4-11 for the Kangaroos. The Kangaroos got the runs with more than 10 overs remaining, finishing 4-101. In the other match, Wallan and Bacchus Marsh had a draw. The Bulls were bowled out for 160 and the Magpies were on track for victory at 3-77 when the game was called off. Wallan sits second on the ladder with Bacchus Marsh two points behind in third.

The top four is all but locked in heading into the final round of the Central Highlands Bowls Division’s top grade season. Kyneton Golf has almost done enough to secure that last spot in the top four, despite a big loss to minor premiers Lancefield on Saturday. Lancefield came away with the 116 (16)-69 (2) win with Aaron Young, Jeff Holmes and Peter Linehan the winning skips. John Smith was the winning skip for Kyneton Golf. The two points for Kyneton Golf means it sits 18 points clear of Romsey with one round remaining. They would have to suffer an 18-0 loss and Romsey have an 18-0 win in the final round to miss out on finals. Lancefield will finish on top no matter the outcome in the final round. Kyneton, which is likely to finish second, had a big win against bottom side Bacchus Marsh on Saturday. Kyneton claimed three rinks in the 109 (17)-67 (1) win, with Richard Dwyer’s rink the big winner on the day. Romsey kept its slight finals hopes alive with a 14 (100)-88 (4) win against finals bound Gisborne. Matthew Brundell and John Beaumont were the winning skips for Romsey. Kyneton, Kyneton Golf, Woodend and Trentham were the winners in division 2. Tara Murray Lachlan Wilkins was the pick of the bowlers for East Sunbury. (Shawn Smits) 200650_12

SPORT Hawks look to experience as they appoint new coach New Woodend-Hesket coach Carly Arkinstall is looking forward to the challenge of getting back into netball coaching this Riddell District Netball League season. Arkinstall was announced last week as the Hawks’ new head coach for the A and B-grade teams. For Arkinstall, the opportunity to coach the Hawks had come at the perfect time. She had spent the last few years concentrating on her family and career. She said it was exciting to get involved in a club that is on the rise. “I’ve been living in Woodend for two years now,” she said. “I’m looking forward to getting much more involved in the community and I’m passionate about netball and helping people grow. “My kids are getting involved in netball in Woodend, so it’s a good time to step back into the netball coaching side.” Arkinstall grew up in Sunbury and was a talented netballer growing up.

She played in the Victorian Netball League for nearly a decade and was part of several state junior teams and trained with the Melbourne Kestrels squad. An injury ended her career and she became involved in netball coaching through the education system. She’s coached at Penleigh and Essendon Grammar, Firbank and Carey Grammar and worked with some of the best coaches. Arkinstall, who had her first training session on Thursday, said she was still learning about the club and playing group, but it was all positive so far. By all reports, the majority of last year’s playing group has returned and she didn’t think the late appointment would put them on the back foot. Much of the existing group started pre-season training before Christmas. “There will be lots of development with a young group of netballers, to help continue

them to take it to the next level,” she said. “I’ll be providing greater netball expertise and the technical side of things. “Hopefully we’ll be able to generate some excitement for the netballers and keep growing a young side. “We’ll be working hard and fast.” Arkinstall said she had touched base with some of her contacts as they look to add a couple of missing pieces to the group. She said there may be netballers in Woodend or in the broader community that might want to get back involved with the sport and encouraged them to attend tryouts. “We want to increase numbers and generate some interest,” she said. The Hawks are holding tryouts on February 20 and 27.

Sunbury fails to fire in shock bowls loss

Craig Ballinger was the one that picked up a ladder mistake. (Shawn Smits) 200647_06

Sunbury into semi final By Tara Murray Sunbury will play in a Victorian Turf Cricket Association T20 semi final this week, but it nearly wasn’t the case. When the final results of the quarter final round robin stage were put online early last week, Sunbury was sitting bottom of their three-team group. All three teams in the group were on two points after a win each in the quarter final stage. Observant Sunbury captain-coach Craig Ballinger realised late last week that something was wrong and the club did its own research. Once they confirmed their thoughts the ladder was wrong, they made the VTCA aware of the issue on Friday. The VTCA quickly realised there was a glitch in the system and had to adjust the ladders. After it was adjusted, it meant Sunbury had actually finished top, while West Coburg, who

thought it had made finals, finished bottom. West Coburg, which had been preparing to play in the semi final, had to be told they hadn’t actually made it. Ballinger said looking at the ladder, things didn’t look right. Sunbury had a bye in the final round and had been waiting on results to know whether they had progressed through. “All the ladders were calculated wrong,” he said. “I contacted [secretary] Marty Kelders, as we had scored the most amount of runs and conceded the least amount of wickets, but were sitting bottom. “It was a mistake on MyCricket [website]. All the percentages were wrong, we went from last to first.” The Roar will face senior division side Sunshine United for a spot in the final. The Roar’s T20 semi final is due to be played on Sunday at Selwyn Park, with the game

starting at 2pm. The club is keen to get as many Sunbury people to the game as possible. Despite being in different divisions the two clubs are familiar with each other. The two clubs have played a regular game, the James Wilson T20 Memorial game, in honour of Wilson who played for both clubs. Ballinger said they would continue to go through the tournament, with the view they have nothing to lose. They have already knocked off one senior division side, Yarraville Club. Both sides were missing players in that game, with Sunbury hoping to have a full squad to choose from this week. “We spoke earlier in the year and there is the belief and there’s nothing to lose,” he said. “We’re one win from a grand final. A grand final in our first year in the VTCA would be really good.” Keilor is through to the other semi final. Their opponent has not been finalised.

Sunbury put in its worst performance of the Bowls Victorian pennant, division 1, section 2 season on Saturday, suffering an upset loss. Facing bottom side Whittlesea, Sunbury was confident of returning to the winners list after letting one slip against top side MCC the week before. But it was a hapless Sunbury, which lost 86 (16)-55 (2) in a massive upset. Sunbury’s David Glennon said the group was left shocked by the performance. “We were completely outplayed,” he said. “We got out-bowled by a better team on the day. “There were no excuses and it’s not like they stacked their side. No one could put their finger on it, especially at the business end of the season.” Lee Wesley was the only winning skip for Sunbury, with that rink winning 20-17. Mark Cowan’s rink lost 19-15, while Todd Trewarne’s rink had a 20-10 loss. In the biggest shock of the day Carla Krizanic’s rink lost 30-10, with Glennon saying he had never seen a result like that for Krizanic. Glennon said there weren’t any standouts in the loss. The result all but ends Sunbury’s hopes of a top two finish and home final. Sunbury sits in third spot on 151 points with Melbourne sitting on top with 193 points and Glenroy second on 185 points. With a match-up against Glenroy this week, Sunbury will need to turn their form around. A loss and Sunbury will be back in the pack fighting for a finals spot. “We will be looking over our shoulder,” Glennon said. “Altona Sports and Werribee aren’t too far behind and we play both sides in the final two rounds. “There’s a lot of hard work to be done before then and we’ll be back on the training round on Tuesday.” Sunbury’s second side had a comprehensive 18-0 win against Doutta Galla to all but seal top spot. It was a mixed day for Sunbury with three of their six sides getting wins. Five teams sit in the top four at this stage of the season. Tara Murray

Sunbury Jets unveil key signings as training builds The Sunbury Jets have announced two key signings for their new look squad ahead of the Big V women’s state championship season. After successfully fielding a similar line-up the last few years, the Jets will be a different team under new coach John White. White said after a slow start things were starting to come together. “Jacinta [Beckley] had her first session on Tuesday and picked up where she left off,” White said. “The rest of the squad is actually coming together really nicely. We’ve got another import to announce in the coming week. “We’ve got a really good group of young girls coming through and Courtenay Wragg is also returning from last year. “I’m really excited about the talent within the

club and the talent we’ve been able to put in and around them, to really bolster the squad.” The Jets announced the signings of Ida Andersson and Samantha Reynolds last week. Andersson is from Sweden, via the college system in America. White said Andersson would bring a hard-nosed defensive edge to the side and versatility to the offence. “She has been involved in college over in the States in both div 1 and 2 and the Swedish national set-up as well,” he said. “She’s been out here for a while with her fiancé [John Roberson] who plays in the NBL. “We had a bit of a hint she was out here and I went and had a bit of look at her at practice with Southside Flyers. “We loved what she stood for as a player …

she has really impressed us really early with her work ethic and level of skills being really high. She’s exceeded what we expected.” White has seen first hand what Reynolds can do, having coached against her last season. Reynolds had been playing with the Waverley Falcons in NBL1. “When I was coaching NBL1 last year, she put us to the sword by herself,” White said. “We really needed someone to run the show from the point. She has a really hard competitive edge to her and can see on the practice court and I saw first hand last year as well. “She’s a great fit for the group.” White said one of his major focuses this season would be ensuring that some of the young talent coming through the ranks at

Dragons take the points By Tara Murray Diggers Rest Bulla got a reality check against ladder leaders Gisborne in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association McIntyre Cup. In the battle between the top two teams, the undefeated Dragons came out on top and secured the minor premiership in the process. Burras playing coach Ras Batepola said after a good start they let the game get away from them. He said they were disappointed that day one of the match had been washed out, making the match a one-dayer. “They played some good cricket,” he said. “We have been a better two-day side team this year. Hopefully we get them in the grand final, which will be a two-dayer.” At 3-113 the Burras looked in control and on track for a big total. They would lose seven quick wickets, to be all out for 165 with one ball remaining. Raveen Yasas top scored with 40. Batepola said they never thought that was going to be enough runs. “We didn’t finish off well the last 12 overs,” he said. “We would normally be looking to get at least another 80 runs on the board with wickets in the shed. “We thought 210 was possible. They bowled and fielded well and we lost our way to the finish.” Mick Allen was the pick of the bowlers for the Dragons, taking 4-29 off eight overs. The Dragons put the pressure on early with the bat and broke the Burras attack. While the Burras slowed things down, the Dragons had done the damage. They made the runs with 10 overs remaining, finishing 3-166. Batepola said they didn’t do the basics properly early on, resulting in the Dragons getting on top of them. “We probably bowled too many four balls in the first few overs,” he said. “They were 70 off the first eight overs and we came back at them too late. We were trying too hard to take wickets.” Warren Kelly starred at the top of the order for the Dragons, finishing 83 not out. The result now has the Dragons 17 points clear of the Burras at the top of the table. With third and fourth placed sides Bacchus Marsh and Sunbury United having a tie, the Burras are still 11 points clear on them in the race for a top two spot. Batepola said it was looking likely that they would finish second and host a final in the first week of finals. They finish the regular season with two-day matches against St Anthony’s and Bacchus Marsh. “I think we should be able to finish the season and who we will play is the next question,” he said. “If we play our best cricket, we can beat anyone.” It was a round full of important matches at

both ends of the ladder. Bacchus Marsh was left to rue a poor finish against Sunbury United which saw their match finish in a draw. Sunbury United made 8-133 from its overs. Bacchus Marsh finished its innings 7-133. St Anthony’s got its first win of the season beating Riddell. The Saints made 6-215 before bowling the Bombers out for 103. The win move

18 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 11 February, 2020

St Anthony’s above Riddell in the relegation battle. Woodend was the other winner, beating Romsey. Romsey had been on top after day one, but not enough overs were bowled, so the game became a one-day clash. Woodend made 181 before restricting Romsey to 104. The draw between Bacchus Marsh and Sunbury United didn’t do Woodend any favours in its finals hopes.

Sunbury will get plenty of opportunity. He highlighted two younger players, who he expected would really step up. “Chloe Angove was with our youth champ team last and the state champ team,” he said. “This year she’ll make the transition straight into the state champ women’s team. “Then there’s younger girls like Kiralee Collings who is already in our under-18 setup. “Again she had some time with our youth girls and state champ women’s team last year and we will look to really integrate her into the senior women’s program this year, around her under-18s commitments. “I’m really excited to get them on the right track.” Tara Murray

Wickets galore as bowlers take control It was a day for the bowlers with Sunbury’s match against Bellbridge evenly poised after day one in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association division 5 Russell Pollock Shield. It was a day that was full of twists and turns as 15 wickets fell and both teams had their moments. Sunbury was happy early in the day after bowling Bellbridge out for just 84 in the 58th over. Michael Treweek and Jason McGann did all the damage, taking five wickets each. Roar coach Craig Ballinger said their bowling group, which has been a strength all season, again stood strong. “We were happy with where we were at,” he said. “They chose to bat, but we thought there was something in the wicket. The guys did what we had wanted them to do. “We were happy with that position.” The Roar had to face 19 overs at the end of the day and had hoped to get off to a good start in the run chase. It was less than ideal start, with the Roar struggling at 5-40 at stumps. “There’s a bit of work to be done,” Ballinger said. “We lost a few quick wickets and it put a bit of pressure on. “The wicket was playing some tricks and some popped up in the later part of the day. “It didn’t flatten out like we thought it would.” Ballinger made 26 before being the fifth man out. He said they were still confident they could get the runs. Jay King (four not out) and Jason McGowan (yet to score) will resume the chase next week. “Our strength is that we bat all the way through to number 11,” he said. “While it might look like guys like Jason and Jay are a couple of night watchmen, but they could bat at six or seven quite easily. “There’s plenty of talent in the shed. We need to get 47 runs and we’re confident that we can get the job done.” A win would just about seal Sunbury’s finals spot with a round remaining. Ballinger said they weren’t seeing the game as a must win game, but one that they wanted to win. “We have to win to take some winning form into finals,” he said. “We’re not the only top side to struggle with the bat, so it’s important to hit some form.” Tara Murray

RAM truck conversion success By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring The 5000th RAM truck has rolled off the production line in Melbourne. The Granite Crystal grey 1500 V8 Hemi Laramie is one of the team that has the brilliant catchline of “Eat utes for breakfast”. The very American RAM range is very varied; light duty (1500) and heavy duty (3500 and 2500). They can tow anything from 3.5 tonnes up to 6.9 tonnes. “This is truly an Australian automotive success story,” says Neville Crichton CNZM, Executive Chairman of the Ateco Group and originator of the idea to convert left-hand drive RAM Trucks to right-hand drive at the bespoke Melbourne Manufacturing Facility (MMF). “This year will see RAM sales just shy of 3,000 units in Australia and New Zealand – last year we sold 767 and just 449 in 2017. Most pleasing of all, however, is the boost to the local automotive manufacturing sector, employing over 250 people directly, and many more indirectly via our local supplier agreements.” The RAM Trucks Australia story began in 2013, when the Ateco Group became New Zealand distributor for FCA, which included the RAM Trucks brand. Crichton realised there was an opportunity to demonstrate Australia could manufacture and produce a world-class product despite the closure of other local manufacturing facilities. RAM Trucks decided they were ready to enter the market with the Ateco Group and a worldwide search for an effective remanufacturing partner began. The Walkinshaw Group – with whom Crichton has a long-standing relationship, having raced for Tom Walkinshaw back in the 1980s – were the most competitive and were awarded the contract in 2015.

RAM conversion to right-hand drive employs many happy Aussies. (Supplied)

Rams (which incidentally haven’t been called Dodges since 2009) are imported to Oz ready to drive – but with the steering etc on the left. They are trucked to the purpose-built facility in Melbourne, where the body is pulled off the chassis and a total RHD conversion is carried out. The Ateco Group has invested over $100m in tools, equipment, inventory, and stock to enable product development, quality and conformity with the overseas requirements of RAM Trucks

International, as well as the ADR regulations. RAM Trucks Australia is the world’s only factory-authorised RHD manufacturer of RAM Trucks and, from June 2019, Australia’s only 24-hour vehicle manufacturing facility. The company is a major source of employment in automotive engineering, design and production excellence for both RAM Trucks Australia and New Zealand, and the Australian component companies that keep the factory supplied with Australian

made parts. “The investment is significant and ongoing,” says David Smitherman, RAM Trucks Australia Special Advisor. “We have a fantastically engaged dealer network in both Australia and New Zealand, and we have exciting plans for 2020 and beyond to continue building the brand, product portfolio and network.” Every RAM is backed by a three year/100,000km warranty with roadside assistance, and requires a service every 12 months or 12,000km
