Spread some warmth As the weather becomes colder, Uniting Vic.Tas is calling on residents in the northern and western suburbs to help out those most in need. The community services organisation has launched its Winter Blanket Appeal, with the aim of distributing as many blankets and doonas as possible to people experiencing homelessness or poverty. Uniting Vic.Tas is asking for donations of quality blankets from members of the public. You can also donate directly to the cause – just $29 is enough to buy a new blanket or doona for someone doing it tough. Uniting Vic.Tas general manager north and west Victoria, Annette Kelly-Egerton, said that with the end of JobKeeper and the JobSeeker payment being reduced, Uniting Vic.Tas was bracing for a surge in demand – including from people experiencing homelessness – this winter. Details: unitingvictas.org.au Financial donations can be made at: https://unitingblanketwyndham. gofundraise.com.au. Volunteers and case workers Melanie, Rachel, Lisa and Sue.

Council calls in lawyers By Oliver Lees Hume council will seek legal advice about applying for an injunction to prevent contracts relating to the disposal of West Gate Tunnel soil being signed before its legal challenge is heard. Last week councillors voted to ask council’s lawyers about applying for an injunction to prevent Transurban and Planning Minister Richard Wynne from signing contracts which would enable toxic soil to be dumped in Bulla. Following the approval of Hi-Quality’s planning scheme amendment in March by Mr Wynne, the builders of the West Gate Tunnel Project, CPB-John Holland, currently have the legal option to use Hi-Quality’s site on Sunbury Road to test and dispose of three million tonnes

of soil. The decision is the subject of a Supreme Court challenge by the council. A planning scheme amendment has also been approved for Maddingley Brown Coal’s site in Bacchus Marsh and Cleanaway’s site at Ravenhall. Transurban will have the final say on where the soil will be taken. Speaking at a meeting last week, councillor Jodi Jackson said that seeking further legal advice was an appropriate next step. “This motion is not asking council to seek an injunction,” Cr Jackson said. “It is only asking that council seek legal advice, in the same way that officers sought legal advice on the judicial review process.” Cr Jackson added that this would provide council with context into the injunctive

process, council’s prospects for success and the potential risks of taking such legal action. Cr Trevor Dance said council would be “neglectful” not to pursue all legal options. Cr Carly Moore also supported the motion, but said it was important to note the financial risk involved in the decision. “If the judicial review is unsuccessful, council may be liable for the losses suffered while the injunction is in place, which would likely run into the millions,” Cr Moore said. “All councillors need to be aware of the seriousness of these decisions and must consider the significant risks of this proposal for all Hume residents, and the long term viability of our council.” Also speaking in support of the motion, Cr

Naim Kurt said the original decision to explore a judicial review instead of an injunction came after receiving guidance from legal professionals. “We went through a number of different options as well, in regards to potentially seeking an injunction … challenging contracts, seeking a parliamentary intervention … and the one recommendation was … seeking a judicial review.” Monash University law professor Jeff Giddings told Star Weekly an injunction often entails a quick turnaround. “Injunctions are important in stopping things that can’t be undone, like knocking down a building or removing a tree,” Professor Giddings said. “They can also be hard to get.”

Budget puts community first By Oliver Lees Macedon Ranges residents can expect an average rate rise of 1.5 per cent as part of a focus on spending toward shared spaces, according to the Macedon Ranges council’s draft 2021-22 budget. At a meeting last week, councillors adopted the draft budget which includes a $7.9 million increase in capital works, an estimated total spend of $31.5 million – the highest capital works expenditure in the past five years. Councillor Mark Ridgeway said a “huge

amount of work” had gone into creating the draft budget. The capital works program focuses on new sporting facilities and public walkways, including $5.2 million toward the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct and $6.3 million to the Macedon Ranges Shared Trail. Councillor Janet Pearce said council staff had listened to feedback from the public when allocating resources. “It’s a connection project,” Cr Pearce said, in reference to the Macedon Ranges Shared Trail. “The community came back to us, their

priority for community connection was a shared trail program and that’s what we’ve worked really hard towards.” But councillor Geoff Neil said he was frustrated that programs such as the Romsey Sports Master Plan had not progressed beyond a review phase. The average growth in operating expenses is expected to grow 4.3 per cent in the next year. The kerbside rubbish collection charge will also increase by about 10.7 per cent per household, due to the fact that a higher level of contamination is being detected in

recycled waste, as well as an increase in the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) levy. Mayor Jennifer Anderson said it was important the community looked over the draft budget and provided feedback. “This budget is about you, so we can’t get this right if we don’t get your input,” Cr Anderson said. Public consultation on the budget will end at 5pm on June 8. To view the 2021-22 draft budget, visit: www. mrsc.vic.gov.au.

Sunbury MP Josh Bull is calling for greater funding for a community health organisation in the lead-up to the state budget. With sites in Sunbury, Kyneton, Romsey and Woodend, Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health (SCCH) has been delivering health services in the region for more than 40 years. Mr Bull said the health network provides “fantastic” services and is in need of an upgrade. “I know health is critically important for many in our growing community – that is why I am calling for more support,” Mr Bull said. “Investing in Sunbury and Cobaw

The federal government has turned on the financial tap for farmland in Sunbury, with funding announced for a new agricultural rejuvenation project. Last week’s federal budget included $110,000 for a business case for the Sunbury-Bulla-Keilor Agricultural Rejuvenation Project, as part of the National Water Grid Fund. According to the National Water Grid Authority, the project will include the construction of a pipeline, pumping infrastructure and distribution pipelines to enable recycled water use in the region. The project is part of the federal government’s National Water Grid Scheme, which will include region-specific water storage infrastructure across the country. Recycled water refers to water that is reused from sewage treatment or industrial systems. Victorian Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie said the investment will help secure the National Water Grid Authority’s plan for a sustainable future. “This funding commitment is great news for local communities, agricultural water users and the construction industry here in regional Victoria,” she said. “These … infrastructure projects are important for long-term and sustainable water access, and will directly benefit … the Sunbury-Bulla-Keilor regions.” The National Water Grid Authority was contacted for comment.

Conservation call out

Learners’ test goes digital Driving tests have gone digital, following the announcement of online learner permit tests in Victoria. The transition to online testing for new drivers will first include people who have already booked in to tests at a VicRoads Service Centre. The digital roll out started in Gippsland last month and will now continue in areas including Kyneton and Sunbury. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the development was part of a “rite of passage” for many Victorians. “Our fantastic new online learners’ course and test is removing the barriers of getting to a testing centre that so many regional Victorians

previously faced,” Ms Thomas said. The new test includes interactive videos, theory, and a final assessment delivered through a mini quiz to test learners’ knowledge of road rules and behaviour. New drivers will need to create a personal account on the VicRoads website to take the test, it is estimated the test will take four to six hours to complete. Roads and Road Safety Minister Ben Carroll said the online test will make learning more accessible. For more information on the test, visit: vicroads.vic.gov.au.

Macedon Ranges council is requesting community feedback on its Roadside Conservation Management Plan. The plan sets out the council’s work to protect rural roadside areas while also managing fire risk and maintaining road safety.

When Susan Lodge started the LGBTIQ Coffee Catch-Ups group in Sunbury five years ago, she said she wanted to create a space where people can get together and feel at ease. “When I was a kid I didn’t even know that I was a lesbian,” Ms Lodge, now 51, said. “Having someone who goes through the same experience as you is a huge comfort, to know that someone understands. “It’s a big, painful thing going on inside your own head, when you’re not what’s considered normal.” On Monday, Ms Lodge joined other members of the public in showing their support for the LGBTIQA+ community on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). The IDAHOBIT rainbow event, organised by Macedon Ranges council and Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health (SCCH), included a flag-raising and speeches from community members. SCCH health promotion team leader Lauren Tyrrell said it was an important day to encourage people to challenge discrimination. According to LGBTIQ+ Health Australia, LGBTIQ+ people aged 18 and over were more than 18 times more likely to have considered attempting suicide in the previous 12 months. SCCH provides support services for the LGBTIQA+ community, including WayOut, which focuses on the health of young people. Macedon Ranges local Kieran Atkins has been a member of WayOut for 10 years and was given the opportunity to speak to those in attendance on Monday. Speaking to Star Weekly before the event, Mr Atkins said he had always been passionate about making his community a safer place for

More trees are coming to the streets of Romsey. Macedon Ranges council is preparing for its annual street tree planting, with this year’s crop to feature on nature strips in Romsey. Each year the council selects a particular area for the planting season, having previously selected Lancefield and Gisborne. Macedon Ranges council assets and operations director Shane Walden said the project will contribute to the council’s reputation of tree-lined streets and avenues. “We are fortunate to have a variety of microclimates across the shire, with varying rainfall and temperature, which allow for a diverse range of trees to be grown,” Mr Walden said. “The benefits of street trees include shade for pedestrians, increased property values, noise and pollution absorption, improved mental health and reduced rainfall-runoff.” This year the trees will be planted between May and September in order to provide the best chance for establishment. According to the Macedon Ranges council’s tree management policy, trees are selected under the ‘right tree, right place’, that takes into account the the suitability of the location. An onsite arborist will attend to make sure the selection is consistent with the policy. Oliver Lees

Art, wrapped in a mystery By Oliver Lees Kathryn Portelli is taking Kyneton’s art to the streets. As a recipient of a Macedon Ranges council COVID Creative grant, which supports artists to create community-minded projects in the wake of the pandemic, Ms Portelli hopes to deepen the public’s understanding of local art with her Mystery Art Trail. Participants can make their way from Art on Piper to The Old Auction House Arts Precinct or vice versa, following a custom-made map that will lead them on a trip past unique art installations.

‘‘

take them ... to places you wouldn’t normally think to go - Kathryn Portelli

’’

The project will highlight the work of resident artist Elizabeth Darling who has been a member of Art on Piper for three years. As president of Art on Piper, Ms Portelli said it was important to encourage people to recognise the contribution of local creatives. “Elizabeth Darling has a permanent display on Art on Piper, she’s a social narrative artist, and she illustrates those with a sense of

humour,” she said. “She’s an art stalwart of the town, and has been on the museum committee, so it’s a nice opportunity to acknowledge her impact on the town. “The trail will take them around to places you wouldn’t normally think to go by, but also a key part of the mystery is getting to discover who Darling is.” The Mystery Art Trail will be open to the public by the end of May. Macedon Ranges council has funded a total of 11 Covid Creative projects known collectively as Creative Encounters. Details: mrsc.vic.gov.au/get-involved.

News survey shows readers’ passion for print A majority of audiences in regional and rural Australia prefer a printed newspaper, a released national study has found. The biggest national survey of local news audiences in Australia, conducted as part of the Media Innovation and Civic Future of Australia’s Country Press project, reveals the passion people have for their local newspaper. The Australian Research Council-funded project involves researchers from Deakin and RMIT universities with support from Country Press Australia, the peak media body for independent news organisations. The survey findings come as country newspapers have struggled to survive during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey asked almost 4200 Australian country press newspaper readers in rural, regional and outer suburban areas about the role of local newspapers within their communities. Key findings include a continued strong demand (and passion) for the printed product in rural and regional Australia. The majority of audiences prefer a printed newspaper, with younger generations also part of this trend. Country Press readers overall are 2.6 times as likely to read their local paper in print than in digital format. The survey found audiences overwhelmingly view a printed copy of their newspaper as an essential service for their community. Survey respondants said they were five times as likely to go directly to a local news website for their local news than Google or Facebook, and almost 10 times as likely to go to the local newspaper website over a local council website for their local news and information. Just 5 per cent of younger audiences say they mostly use social media to find out about local news. There was overwhelming support for any additional funding for local media to be directed to employing more local journalists to report news (71 per cent), over increasing digital connectivity (13 per cent) and digital innovation products (17 per cent). Project leader Associate Professor Kristy Hess, from Deakin’s School of Communication, said the voices and perspectives of everyday audiences were often missing in policy discussion about the future of local media. “It’s clear that the local newspaper really matters to Australian audiences … we can see … just how passionate readers are about the sustainability of news that provides good quality local content and keeps them informed about people and happenings in their community,” Associate Professor Hess said. The survey is part of a three-year project that aims to develop and road-test a new map to support local news media in the digital era.

Artist’s place in history By Oliver Lees Before she met the former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi, Bupa Aged Care Woodend resident Norma Carlisle said it was a road trip around Australia that changed her life. “We met so many different people, but what I remember most is that a lot of them were painting,” Ms Carlisle said, guessing she was about 55-years-old at the time.

much, she would be hanging it in her study in India. Three years later, Indira Gandhi was assassinated following civil unrest. The contents of Ms Gandhi’s study were moved to the newly built Indira Gandhi Museum to be put on permanent display.

Ms Carlisle said her oil painting of a Bairnsdale landscape is still hanging in that room today. “I always liked to draw as a young person, but I never thought I could be a painter,” she said. “Now if you go to India and you go to the museum, you’ll see my painting.”

An animal charity is cautioning pet owners to steer clear of a tree found in the Macedon Ranges, due to the potentially poisonous nature of its berries. In an alert posted on its website, the Australian Animal Poisons Helpline stated: “White cedar berries are now ripe and falling from trees… pets that eat these berries can potentially develop severe poisoning”. The white cedar tree, otherwise known as the Chinaberry, can be found in every state across Australia. According to the Australian National Botanic Gardens, the deciduous tree yields a yellow, spherical berry that is currently ripe and dropping. The charity recommends that pets remain on leash in areas where the tree is present as the berries are said to be sweet and highly palatable to animals. Kyneton Veterinary Hospital veterinarian Leigh Coghlan said he could not recall an instance of a pet that had been poisoned from the berries, but he suspected dogs would be most likely to consume them. According to the Macedon Ranges council Tree Management Policy, no trees should have “inappropriate fruits, berries and poisonous qualities”.

She soon joined the Glenroy Art Club, where she said she did countless paintings of all kinds. “Mostly I liked to make things that enhanced my lounge room,” she said. “It was generally landscapes, because people seemed to like what I did.” Among those people was a prominent member of the Indian community in Victoria, who upon visiting the Glenroy Art Club, asked Ms Carlisle if he could purchase one of her paintings for it to be gifted to the prime minister of India, Ms Indira Gandhi. Ms Carlisle received a message from Ms Gandhi, saying she loved the painting so

Business Continuity & Resilience Program extension (BCRPe)

Facelift for town hall Kyneton’s century-old town hall is set to be restored. Restoration works on the facade of Kyneton Town Hall will begin this month following the allocation of funding from the federal government and Macedon Ranges council. Macedon Ranges council assets and operations director Shane Walden said that the focus of the job will be to ensure the facade remains true to the building’s character. “This is an important project to preserve the Kyneton Town Hall. The work includes repairs to various architectural elements and to restore heritage value,” Mr Walden said.

The program will cease once allocated funds are exhausted or by the program closing date of 5pm Monday 31 May 2021.

“Council’s heritage advisor has approved aesthetic considerations, including paint colours, to ensure the history of this building is respected and enhanced.” According to a 1990 conservation study conducted by the former Shire of Kyneton, the first portion of Kyneton Town Hall was constructed in 1877. But the site did not come to serve its original purpose as a space for shire offices until June 1929, following lengthy disputes about funding and design.

Offering up to two (2) payment vouchers of up to $1,000 incl GST each per business operating in the Macedon Ranges Shire to engage professional services based within the Macedon Ranges. These services include: accounting, legal advice, marketing, strategy / business planning, grant writing or human resources. Please note, vouchers are limited to a maximum of two per business applying and awarded to those entities that wish to engage professional services for business growth or change due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Vouchers are not to be used as a supplement for business as usual professional services. Businesses that have already received more than one voucher in the first round offer of BCRP will not be eligible to apply for the BCRPe. Preference will be shown to businesses who have not received any vouchers to date.

12495531-JW21-21

Due to the success of the initial offer for Business Continuity & Resilience Program (BCRP), Macedon Ranges Shire Council has limited vouchers to directly assist local business overcoming the economic effects of COVID-19 and restrictions placed upon their ability to trade during the pandemic. Whilst many businesses have returned to operations, many are still feeling the effects of minimal trade and the inability to capitalise upon regular trading terms over the past several months, the Business Continuity & Resilience Program extension (BCRPe) aims to help with this.

Call to get flu jab

Pharmacist Nicole Bradley is concerned about the downturn in the number of people getting the flu vaccine. (Damjan Janevski) 237176_01

By Tara Murray A western suburbs pharmacist is calling on people to get their flu vaccines with winter nearly upon us. Priceline’s Nicole Bradley said there had been a concerning drop in the number of people getting the flu vaccine this year. “Last year we had thousands of people come in,” she said.

“Last season there was barely any flu. “This year people seem a bit hesitant. It’s been very poor compared to last year. There’s been a big drop. “Now as we are moving around more and there’s more travel, getting vaccines is more important.” Ms Bradley said people should get the flu vaccine every year, with influenza causing death in some elderly people.

Pay for this much employee

Many Priceline stores have pharmacists working seven days a week who can do the injections. “The peak time for the flu is the winter months,” Ms Bradley said. “It takes a couple of weeks to fully work in the body.” Ms Bradley said it was important to remember that the flu vaccine and COVID vaccines need to be taken two weeks apart.

Ex-Bulla shire council engineer and town planner John ‘Jack’ McKerrow’s passion for Sunbury was acknowledged at a Hume council meeting last week. Hume councillor Trevor Dance moved a condolence motion after Mr McKerrow died earlier this month. Mr McKerrow lived in Sunbury and Bulla for more than 50 years and worked within the Shire of Bulla council for 36 years. The Shire of Bulla included both Sunbury and Bulla until 1994 when it was abolished, along with the Shire of Broadmeadows, and Hume council was formed. Cr Dance said Mr McKerrow left an important legacy in the local community. “John loved a good debate and his passion for Sunbury never deviated,” Cr Dance said. “He befriended people who were diametrically opposed to him, he loved a conversation and debate. Mr McKerrow was involved with community organisations including the Sunbury Horse Show and the unit patrol for Sunbury Rescue Squad. Cr Dance also recognised Mr Mckerrow’s contribution to Sunbury State School and Sunbury High School, in reference to the former titles of Sunbury Primary School and Sunbury College. Mr McKerrow was also one of the 175 Sunbury faces announced in 2012, an initiative which acknowledged community figures throughout 175 years of the town’s settlement.

Concept design for the new-look Gap Road level crossing. (Supplied)

By Jessica Micallef The first concept design for the new-look Gap Road level crossing in Sunbury has been released. Gap Road will be lowered under the rail line to preserve the character of the heritage-listed Sunbury station. Construction on the project was brought forward to begin this year, with the level crossing expected to be removed by late 2022, and the remaining works completed in 2023 – two years ahead of the initial 2025 completion date. About 19,000 vehicles pass through the Gap

the majority of major construction towards the end of 2022.” The level crossing removal is being delivered in conjunction with the $2.1 billion Sunbury line upgrade, which includes platform extensions, train stabling modifications and rail track power upgrades at Sunbury station to enable bigger and more modern trains to run on the line. The line is expected to transport up to 113,000 passengers in peak hours every week when the Metro Tunnel is open. “We promised to remove this crossing by 2025, but this vital project has been fast tracked to synchronise works between the level

crossing removal and the $2.1 billion Sunbury line upgrade,” Mr Bull said. “It means we will only need to close the line for an extended period of time once, rather than twice, resulting in less disruption and a level crossing-free Sunbury three years ahead of schedule. “This is a critical project that will improve safety and ease congestion in the heart of our community and it is time to get it done.” The Gap Road level crossing will be the fourth crossing removed on the Sunbury line and is one of 75 “dangerous and congested” level crossings in Melbourne to be gone by 2025. 12476330-CG03-21

A three-week community consultation period was held in November last year for the public to provide feedback on the design, landscaping and public artworks for the new level crossing. Sunbury MP Josh Bull said more than 170 residents contributed to the preliminary design. “The level crossing will be gone for good by the end of 2022, with a road under rail design as promised,” he said. “This year we will see site investigations continuing as well as some early works, with

MY PLACE Finlay Walker lives in Riddells Creek and recently completed the PADI Advanced Open Water dive course. He spoke with Oliver Lees. What is your connection to Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges? I have lived in Riddells Creek almost my whole life, I went to Riddells Creek Primary School until grade five and I am now at The Kilmore International School (TKIS). I enjoy living in Riddells Creek and the Macedon Ranges as I like the area, the space and outdoor lifestyle and I have many friends here. Being part of Scouts helps me to connect to my community as there a many activities you can do as a Scout. What do you enjoy about scuba diving?

(Supplied)

I enjoy the diversity of scuba diving as it is able to appeal to all different types of people, there are experiences such as wreck diving which you can go deep on and feel a sense of fear and excitement, but there are also reef dives, which you can get just as much enjoyment out of and admire all the different types of fish and plants species. Due to the fact that scuba diving is a group activity, I get to know people from the larger community of scuba divers from all over the world who have similar passions and interests to mine. I often dive with my dad, so it is good to spend time together doing something we both enjoy.

I would have to say that my favourite scuba diving experience would be when I went to Flinders Pier and saw a lot of weedy sea dragons. Weedy sea dragons are a species native to Australia, there is little known about their behaviour or population as they have never been tracked or had a population census or tracking. This is why Scouts Scuba is taking photographs and sending them to the ‘Dragon Quest’ researchers at Victorian National Parks, who use photo recognition to identify individuals and track movement. I enjoyed this dive because I was able to see the weedy sea dragons, as well as a lot of other cool species of fish, while also being able to help with research. What’s something people would be surprised to know about you?

What has been your best diving experience, and why?

I am the current longest-running member of 1st Riddells Creek Scout group, I have been in scouts for 10 years, as I first joined Scouts as a Joey in 2010, when I was five as part of a special Joeys program. As part of my Scouting life I have been able to achieve all of the highest achievable badges in all of the levels of scouting. These include The Joey Scout Promise Challenge, the Grey Wolf, the Scout Medallion and finally what I am currently working on, the Queen’s Scout. I have been to both a Cuboree and Jamboree.

A healthy return to work Feeling some trepidation at the idea of coming back into the office? You’re not alone. While many people are looking forward to seeing their colleagues face-to-face and getting back to their old routine, others are concerned about reduced flexibility and the return of the daily commute. Organisational psychologists in Melbourne, quoted recently in the media, say they have been inundated with work. Hygiene and questions of supervision and productivity are among the main issues raised by employees and employers as we all transition to our new ‘COVID normal’. For some, it may seem like there are more questions than answers: What will my work look like next month? Next week? Next year? It’s another dimension to the uncertainty that’s been affecting us all since the outbreak of COVID-19. That’s why it’s important that we maintain our efforts to look after our mental health, and to look out for our colleagues. Here are a few simple tips that could help: 1. Talk to your HR manager or employer – You may find you’re able to work out a way for you to come back to the office that works for everyone, for example a gradual transition from working from home. 2. Go easy – Don’t underestimate the toll of the past year. Be patient with yourself, and with others: we’re all trying to figure out the best way forward, and it will likely take longer than we expected. 3. Keep up healthy practices, and limit the grog – Hard as it may be, try to keep up any good habits formed during lockdown, including exercise, healthy eating and relaxing hobbies. Try not to rely on alcohol to help you unwind after work. 4. Get help early, and look out for warning

To mark National Volunteer Week 2021, Star Weekly catches up with some of the selfless volunteers across the north and west.

Anna D’Cruz

Sarah O’Reilly friends. “One is like my surrogate mum,” she said. “Everyone has their likes and dislikes on books. I go through each client and pick out books I think they will like and then deliver the books to them.” Ms D’Cruz said it was difficult during last year’s COVID-19 pandemic when she couldn’t volunteer because of lockdown restrictions. She said she had no hesitation in returning to volunteering when she could. “I told them I’m back, whenever they are ready,” she said. “I’m fully retired now and I’m open to other types of volunteering.” Ms D’Cruz is one of 365 volunteers registered with Brimbank council – down from more than 400 before COVID-19.

The council will acknowledge more than 100 volunteers this year for their service, including 21 who have volunteered for 10 years or more. Volunteers are involved in a number of programs including libraries, friends and support groups, neighbourhood houses and the community register. Brimbank mayor Cr Ranka Rasic said National Volunteer Week is a chance to stop and thank the hundreds of people who make time to volunteer. “Our 365 volunteers reflect Brimbank’s diversity, between them speaking 51 languages and coming from 45 different countries. “Brimbank volunteers really are special people – and we are so grateful for their ongoing commitment to our community.”

Anna D’Cruz wanted to give back to the country that had given her so much. Having moved to Australia 35 years ago from India, Ms D’Cruz has called Brimbank home for most of that time. With her working life starting to wind down, she got involved with volunteering with Brimbank council. “It’s coming up in 10 years,” she said. “My dad did a lot of social work back home and we grew up with this feeling that we had to give back. “I started thinking about retirement and getting myself ready for it by using my experience and giving back.” Ms D’Cruz started volunteering one day a month as part of the home library service. She said some of her clients had become

The EdConnect organisation trains and places volunteers into local schools, helping to support vulnerable students. Sarah O’Reilly is a recently recruited volunteer from Doreen, who started working with Whittlesea Secondary College this year. Ms O’Reilly provides one-on-one weekly mentoring support for a year 11 student. She said it was fulfilling to volunteer. “Spending time with young people as a mentor has been a rewarding and fun experience,” Ms O’Reilly said. “I highly recommend it to anyone. “My liaison officer, Helen, has been very supportive throughout the entire process and you have a whole community of support in EdConnect.” Whittlesea Secondary College student wellbeing co-ordinator Stephen Macpherson said he valued the partnership with EdConnect, and Ms O’Reilly’s work. “We are very lucky to have Sarah supporting a student one-on-one at our school,” he said. “In these times, we recognise the importance of having additional people, assisting students who need it most, every week.” EdConnect liaison officer Helen Anderson said the organisation’s volunteers were “amazing”. “They give their time, they are patient and caring and with as little as an hour a week, they make a real difference,” Ms Anderson said. “With last year being a disruptive school year, this year the extra help and support EdConnect volunteers are giving to students is more valuable and welcomed than ever before.” Details: www.edconnectaustralia.org.au

Werribee’s Barry Cooper says it is a good thing for retired people to give back to the community. Mr Cooper started volunteering at Little River Primary School at the beginning of the year, after retiring from his job as a professor of accounting at Deakin University. He volunteers on a weekly basis through EdConnect Australia, to help pupils in grade 3 and 4 with their class work. Mr Cooper said the students he volunteers with are about the same age as his grandchildren. “I think the kids appreciate someone who can link with them and emphasise, be comfortable with them and explain things to them,” he said. “The kids just want someone who will listen to them and provide a little encouragement.

“You can be a retired plumber or a retired professor, it doesn’t make a difference – the kids don’t mind as long as you can help them.” Mr Cooper said he believed children at the Little River school also enjoyed having a male role-model, with only one male teacher and a male principal working at the school. “It’s a lovely school with a great culture, you can feel it when you walk in,” he said. “I remember when I first drove into Little River, I hadn’t been there for some years. It was like a country town like Werribee used to be – it was like going down memory lane.” Mr Cooper said he would encourage other Wyndham residents to think about volunteering. “This has been a really enjoyable experience for me and I highly recommend it,” he said.

Nenia Tavrou For 14 years Nenia Tavrou has been volunteering to help newly arrived refugees and migrants settle into their new homes in Australia. Ms Tavrou volunteers with migrant and refugee settlement agency AMES Australia in Footscray where she helps newly arrived people learn English and navigate Australian society. “I love helping people settle and integrate into Australia,” said Ms Tavrou, who has received a certificate of appreciation from AMES Australia. “It’s all about helping learn about how things work in Australia; everything from Myki cards and the public transport system to shopping, doctor’s appointments and all of

things that are specific to Australia that people may have not seen before,” she said. Ms Tavrou said her volunteering had given her as much as she had put in. “I have learned so much about diverse communities over the years and I have met so many lovely and interesting people,” she said. “Volunteering has given me so much and I would recommend it to anyone.” Ms Tavrou, who can use sign language, is currently helping a hearing impaired refugee based in Mildura to read and write. “Innocent is from Burundi and he is desperate to find a job but he can’t get a job without basic English reading and writing,” she said “I’ve started trying to teach him via Zoom.”

a lot of difference from company to company. Oddly, the Hyundai ix35 replaced the Hyundai Tucson when it was launched in 2010. In a backflip the new model of August 2015 was again called the Tucson.

What to look for Check out the door trims, carpet fit, including in the boot and the backs of the front seats. Look at the condition of the engine oil by checking the dipstick. If it’s too dark the servicing may not have been done on time. The turbo-diesel engines should start within a few seconds, if not there may be problems. Definitely one for a professional inspection. Make sure the automatic transmission shifts gears quickly and without any shuddering, A\ and that you think it’s in in the correct ratio for the conditions. If there’s any doubt, have it looked at by a transmission specialist at their premises. Manual gearboxes that are reluctant to change or crunch during shifts may have had a hard life.

way out. Off-road use, even gently driven, may have resulted in scratches in the doors from foliage, scuffs on the corners of the front bumpers and door sills. Underbody off-road damage is a no-no in a semi-SUV like the ix35 and is almost certainly a sign to keep well clear of the crossover.

How much? Expect to pay from $5000 to $9000 for a 2010 Hyundai ix35 Active FWD; $7000 to $11,000 for a 2010 Elite AWD or a 2012 Active FWD; $9000 to $14,000 for a 2011 Highlander AWD or a 2013 Elite FWD; $11,000 to $16,000 for a 2014 Elite AWD; $12,000 to $18,000 for a 2014 Trophy AWD; and $13,000 to $19,000 for a 2015 Highlander AWD.

Car buying tip Beware any all-wheel-drive vehicle designed for even light-duty off-road running. They may be about to suffer problems that will seriously damage your bank balance.

size of the multiple stowage areas inside the cabin is impressive. Even with all seats in use the Hyundai ix35 still has a generous luggage capacity of 591 litres. This increases to 1436 litres with the rear seats folded down. The loading platform isn’t too high off the ground and the shape of the cargo area makes it easy to access. Hyundai has become a major player in Australia in the recent years. No longer the maker of cheap ‘n’ cheerful hatches it has an extensive range of models in various categories. As a result of this expansion the emphasis on quality customer service has also grown, as has the number of dealers. We’ve had no real complaints on availability of parts and prices are about average for this class. These are relatively simple vehicles, at least by the standard of the early years of the 21st century, and most good amateur mechanics can do a fair bit of work. Don’t tamper with safety items, though. Insurance premiums are about average for this vehicle type and there doesn’t appear to be

Most Hyundai ix35s are used as family wagons rather than SUVs. In all-wheel-drive format they can be driven on mild forest trails. In August 2012 the ix35 received a mild facelift and satellite navigation was introduced in the Elite and Highlander variants. November 2013 saw the arrival of the Hyundai ix35 Series II. Mechanical updates included new direct-injection petrol engines and revised suspension. The turbo-diesel remained virtually unchanged. Projection headlights with LED positioning lights, aerodynamic roof rails and striking new alloy wheel designs certainly changed the appearance. Significant suspension changes to suit Australian conditions and drivers’ desires were made in the Series II. It has revised coil springs and stabiliser bars front and rear. A major upgrade was the use of a solid-type sub-frame mount to a more flexible bush-type system. The latter giving better isolation of impact harshness and vibration and sharper steering. Three trim levels are offered: Active, Elite and Highlander, with a choice between 2.4-litre petrol and 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engines. The topline Highlander is pretty upmarket for its class, with a panoramic glass roof, leather trim, powered and heated front seats, a rear-view camera, dual zone air conditioning and a topline audio system. There’s also keyless entry, Aux and USB port with iPod connectivity, steering wheel mounted audio and cruise control. There’s good leg and headroom in all seats. Cleverly, the rear seat is on rails to slide back or forward to permit juggling of seat/luggage space. Shoulder room in the back is marginal if you want to carry three adults of average size. The

Stage set for final thriller By Shaun Campbell Trotters have locked horns at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday night for a shot at Group 2 glory and, if the heats are any indication, this weekend’s final is going to be a thriller. The two heats of the Aldebaran Park Vicbred Platinum Metropolitan Trot were decided by a neck and half-head, with Teetreetommy setting the home straight alight with a last-to-first victory in the first heat and Anywhere Hugo holding off a late challenge in the second. Teetreetommy settled towards the tail of the field and driver Anne-Maree Conroy bided her time before unleashing the Julius Caesar gelding around the turn to grab leader Peregrine Phoenix on the line in a 2:00.5 mile rate. Conroy said piloting the “big awkward” seven-year-old around the last bend was a delicate balancing act. “He was hanging a bit and it was hard to keep him balanced around the corner,” she told Trots Vision after the race. “When he was able to navigate that corner and then straighten out he could get home really quickly.” Conroy said gate four was usually considered a good draw but she didn’t go out on to the track carefree. “He takes a little while to wind up and he’s not overly quick out of the start,” she said. “When I drew four I was a little bit worried about it … because he might get caught wide … so I was lucky the horse inside did something wrong and I was able to get over into the two-wide line early.” In the second heat, Anywhere Hugo used his early speed to lead from the pole, with driver Tayla French able to set an even tempo before holding off a late challenge from Nephew Of

Sonoko in a 1:59.9 mile rate. “When I saw Nephew Of Sonoko coming I knew he would be one of my main dangers; he’s a horse that always knuckles right down to the line,” French told Trots Vision after the race. “But Hugo, he actually kept fighting him the whole way and for the last 200 metres he didn’t let him go past.” Anywhere Hugo was one of two Chris Svanosio-trained horses in the heat, with

favourite Brandlo Prince finishing fourth after sitting behind the leader throughout. “[Brandlo Prince is] not really a sit-sprint horse, he has to be out doing it tough and when he got the sprint lane it wasn’t really suited to him,” French said. Anywhere Hugo will join Teetreetommy and other heat qualifiers in the $30,000 Group 2 final at Melton this Saturday night, with the meeting jam-packed with features including

the Group 3 Allied Express Richmond Lass and Group 3 TAB Derby Royale Trotters Free For All. Other impressive winners on Saturday night included five-year-old pacer Max Delight, who led from gate four in the 1720m TAB Young Pedro Free For All for David and Josh Aiken, while talented mare Spellbound continued her magical form in the Nutrien Equine Pace for Nathan Purdon and Stuart McDonald.

Collings said she’s had to learn to handle the physical demands of her responsibilities. “I have found it quite difficult juggling both sports in the past but I feel since I’ve made the [State Netball] team I have matured and learned when to have rest days to prevent any injuries,” she said. “I have definitely learned to listen to my body and to modify my training sessions.” Last month the 17-year-old, who plays for Gisborne Bulldogs, was selected into the under-17’s Victorian State Netball Team.

The under-17’s Bulldogs side is currently undefeated. The side has won comfortably in each of its five wins so far this season, including a 109-19 defeat of Castlemaine. Collings also plays for the Sunbury Jets in the women’s championship division in the Big V basketball competition, where she’s helped her side remain on top of the table. As a wing attack and centre in netball and a point guard in basketball, Collins said her leadership and speed have helped her succeed in both sports. “I feel honoured to be a part of this special journey, I have worked really hard and I’m glad

it has paid off,” she said. The side will head to Hobart for the National Netball Championships that runs from July 4 to July 11. Collings said she’s confident the team’s chemistry will help them perform well. “Our team will star at the nationals as we already have strong connections with one another and we are great friends which will really help us in the tournament.” Oliver Lees Kiralee Collings has been selected in the under-17s Victorian State Netball Team.

United keen to hit straps By Oliver Lees Sunbury United Football Club is looking to get its season back on track after a “roller coaster” first seven games in the men’s state league 3 north-west. Speaking before the club’s game match against Craigieburn City Football Club, Sunbury president Greg Czapnik said it had been an up and down start to the year. “It’s been a bit of a roller coaster for us, we haven’t properly hit our straps,” Czapnik said. “Squad-wise we’re pleased with who we’ve got ,but with our form it’s really a matter who’s going to turn up on the day. “One week we played a top side and for 73 minutes we battered them, then made one mistake and they scored.”

The Sunbury Jets are living up to their own lofty expectations in the Big V women’s state championship division, according to Jets coach John White. Speaking before their match on Sunday against Keilor Thunder, White said he was pleased to see his side sitting atop the table. “We’re doing pretty well but that was our expectation,” he said. “Defensively, we’ve been pretty strong and been able to back our players one on one, so we haven’t really been blown out in any quarters. “Other groups have put in work but to our girls’ credit they’ve been able to punch back. “But there’s still a lot of stuff we need to work on.” White added that there is a focus for his team to play with speed and keep their offensive game unpredictable to the opposition. After starting the season with a run of seven straight wins, the Jets suffered their first loss to McKinnon on Saturday, May 8. The Jets lost by five points to McKinnon after trailing by just one point going into the fourth term. White said McKinnon did a good job of breaking down their game plan and playing a physical brand of basketball. “They were there to bully us and they did a good job of that,” he said. ‘How we deal with physicality moving forward will be important.” The Jets’ strong start to the season has been backed by two of their international talents, Orla O’Reilly (Ireland) and Jacinta Beckley (New Zealand). Coach White heaped praise on O’Reilly, who as well as contributing as a proficient scorer, is top five in the league for assists. “She’s been a great pick-up for us, such a hard worker and a great person to have in our group,” he said. White joined the Jets last year having had experience at a range of different basketball clubs, serving as an assistant at the Melbourne Tigers as well as head coach for the Dandenong Rangers in NBL1. White said he had nothing but praise for Sunbury and is looking forward to the challenge of the rest of season. “The club is awesome, all the way from the board to the volunteers, everyone’s very welcoming,” he said.

We don’t seem to be able to win a trick

Sunbury was off to a similarly good start against Western Eagles Football Club on May 7 after Ashley Webster netted the first goal of the match after just four minutes. But two yellow cards in quick succession to Akos Surjan saw him sent off the field in the 25th minute. Czapnik said his side struggled with one less player on the field in the second half despite goalkeeper Rory Curran having a strong game, as they went down 2-1. “We were on fire for the first 15 minutes, but [after the red card] the game changed and we were chasing shadows,” he said. Earlier in the season, Sunbury was leading a match at home 3-0 when the lights at the stadium went out. The game was called off and a decision made by the league that the game would be replayed in the future, which Czapnik said was indicative of their luck so far this season. “We don’t seem to be able to win a trick,” he said. After seven rounds Sunbury sat seventh on the ladder, just one point behind Craigieburn. Sunbury has maintained a positive goal difference despite sitting in the bottom half of the table, with nine goals for and seven against. Sunbury striker Ashley Webster has done the bulk of the scoring with five goals. Czapnik said Webster has been a stand out for them so far this season. “Ashley Webster is a class above,” he said, after praising the forward’s early goal in the match against the Western Eagles. “In fact I would say he’s the best striker in the league.” Czapnik added that with plenty of matches left he’s still confident hsi side can claim one of the two spots that confirms promotion. “The next four weeks are critical for all sides, it’s going to shape who’s going to be contenders.”
