Rates up, with CPI cap on way

Don’t be in the dark By Matt Crossman Growing interest from amateur mushroom foragers and ideal autumn weather have prompted health authorities to warn about potentially fatal fungi in the Macedon Ranges. The state’s chief health officer said people should avoid picking wild mushrooms in parks, forests and their own gardens because of the risk posed by poisonous varieties that often look quite similar to their edible cousins. Professor Michael Ackland said that with autumn rain promoting growth, the most dangerous variety, the death cap, was extremely toxic and thought to be responsible for 90 per cent of all mushroom poisoning deaths. In past years, death caps have been found near deciduous trees in towns including Gisborne

and Mount Macedon. If eaten, the mushroom can cause death within 48 hours. ‘‘While commercially-sold mushrooms are safe, poisonings can occur when people gathering wild mushrooms inadvertently include toxic species,’’ Professor Ackland said. Another dangerous variety found in the Macedon Ranges, the yellow stainer, turns yellow when the cap or stem is bruised by a thumbnail. ‘‘These are often gathered and mixed with field mushrooms and can cause nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea in some people,’’ Professor Ackland said. Former research scientist Alison Pouliot, one of several experts who conduct workshops in the area, said mushrooming was perfectly safe for people who knew what they were doing.

‘‘Unfortunately, the poisonous types tend to overshadow all the good things about mushrooms,’’ Ms Pouliot said. ‘‘There is a risk, but it’s probably 1000 times less than the risk of driving up the Calder Freeway.’’ She said interest in foraging had exploded in recent years, but she urged anyone wanting to pick their own mushrooms to become educated first. ‘‘There are dangers. It’s not something you can just learn in a day.’’ Kyneton District Health nursing director Karen Laing said no cases of mushroom poisoning had been treated at the hospital this year, but she urged anyone experiencing symptoms after ingesting wild varieties to seek help. ■ What to look for: www.macedonranges. starweekly.com.au

Macedon Ranges residents will pay an average 4.8 per cent more in rates if the draft council budget gets the green light. The 2015-16 budget is out for public comment and proposes $54 million in expenditure on services and more than $19 million for capital works. If approved, it will be the council’s eighth consecutive rate increase of less than five per cent. But with the state government introducing a cap on rate rises to the consumer price index (CPI) from next year, councillors warned that challenges lie ahead. Cr Russell Mowatt told last week’s meeting a range of excellent projects and services would be delivered this year. ‘‘[But] I have concerns … that a future rate charge at a current CPI value of 2.1 per cent, versus tonight’s proposed 4.8 per cent, will leave a shortfall of 2.7 per cent. This will in effect cut council’s rateable income by well over half; it translates into millions of dollars.’’ The proposed rate increase equates to an extra $84 for a median house valued at $445,000, taking the typical annual rates bill to $1824. The capital works budget includes a $3.7 million early learning centre at Gisborne, new lighting at Kyneton showgrounds and a pavilion at Gisborne’s Dixon Field. Almost $6.2 million will be spent on road and footpath works, including at Romsey, Riddells Creek and Lancefield. The draft budget includes new borrowings of $4.07 million, taking the council’s net debt to $13.27 million. Almost $480,000 in interest will be payable in 2015-16. Macedon Ranges Residents Association secretary Christine Pruneau said ratepayers should look closely at the budget. She said 4.8 per cent was ‘‘still getting up there’’ and ‘‘a hell of a long way from CPI’’. Council chief executive Peter Johnston said the budget had the right balance. “We must balance the environmental, infrastructure and social needs of our community with their capacity to pay.’’ Submissions close May 29. A special council meeting will hear submissions at Gisborne on June 3. Details: www.mrsc.vic.gov.au/yoursay Matt Crossman

Sunbury cameras boost ‘perceptions of safety’ their investigation,’’ he said. ‘‘They’ve certainly proved their worth.’’ Footage has led to arrests in a range of cases, including assault and hooning offences.

The latest review of Sunbury’s planned secession from Hume is unnecessary and just goes over old ground, the town’s largest residents’ group claims. Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie O’Farrell said pro-split supporters remained ‘‘somewhat suspicious’’ about the intent of the review and feared Labor was simply looking for a way to wind back last year’s gazetting of Sunbury as an independent city by the former Liberal government. Mr O’Farrell said terms of reference handed to independent auditors by the state government were essentially the same as those for the previous local government panel, which recommended the separation. ‘‘There’s a couple of minor differences, but the substance of it is no different,’’ he said. ‘‘As far as we’re concerned, the entire thing is unnecessary.’’ As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, auditors Frank Vincent and John Watson have been given 12 months to investigate questions about the secession process. The split has been delayed until July 1 next year in order to address queries about costings and service delivery. Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said too many questions remained unanswered about the separation, which had been scheduled for July 1 this year. Ms Hutchins has instructed Mr Vincent and Mr Watson to assess the financial implications for a new Sunbury city council and a restructured Hume ‘‘with and without cross-subsidy from Hume city council’’ and an appropriate method for division and distribution of assets and liabilities. The auditors are due to report by August 31 after “broad” consultation.

A Woodend filmmaker who flew out of Nepal four days before a massive earthquake on April 25 is urging people to help rebuild an impoverished village high in the Himalayas. Michael Dillon, a regular visitor to the Himalayas for 40 years, said the enormity of the devastation caused by the 7.8-magnitude quake was only just beginning to unfold. Mr Dillon, a founding director of the Australian Himalayan Foundation, said funds raised at a screening of his award-winning film, Everest Sea to Summit, in Woodend last Saturday night would help rebuild the mountain village of Himaganga, where at least 60 houses were destroyed. He said the distress caused by the quake, which has killed more than 5000 people, spread further than many people realised. Reports suggest more than 9000 people have been injured and eight million affected across Nepal. About one million children are in urgent need of help. ‘‘A lot of the initial reports have been coming out of Kathmandu … but just about half the country has been devastated,’’ Mr Dillon said. ‘‘Thousands and thousands of individual villages have been ravaged.’’ Mr Dillon, who has many friends affected by the quake, said he was just beginning to hear personal stories of the disaster. ‘‘Someone I stayed with a few weeks ago has lost their house,’’ he said. ‘‘The scale of what’s taken place is just devastating.’’ He said money raised would help the foundation work with the Himaganga community to rebuild homes and essential services. ‘‘The actual damage caused to the village is an unreachable figure to raise, but every little bit will help because they are already so poor.’’ Mr Dillon first visited Nepal as a trekker before returning many times to support humanitarian efforts and to make films, including one with Sir Edmund Hillary. He urged people to continue thinking about the

Twenty cameras were switched on in April last year in a bid to deter would-be offenders and help solve crimes.

Sunbury needs to know

We don’t need 15 months of dithering over an independent Sunbury council. We need a proper, understandable, definite vote. A compulsory poll of those in the proposed new council area, stating: “Vote Yes for Sunbury out of Hume or No to remain in Hume”. And whatever the vote is, so it will be. Let’s not have the previous vagueness followed by a surprise decision, and this time the residents of Bulla, Wildwood and Clarkefield will know what they are voting for. Can we clarify whether KPMG was fed faulty data, as was hinted throughout the previous Vote Yes campaign? If not, we have available a clear understanding of rates, services, etc for the next 10 years and after. Perhaps the council can provide free use of the memorial hall for a public meeting again, but this time let’s hear both sides. And thank you to Star Weekly Weekly. Since your arrival, we have two papers that print both sides, instead of none. Don Hampshire, Sunbury

Jacks in ‘kangaroo court’

Going to the Hume council meeting, I saw how out of touch the organisation is with reality and the needs of all residents. I listened to the CEO officially standing down Jack Medcraft for one month following a process that was nothing short of a kangaroo court. Cr Medcraft had been cleared last year on the same charge after ratepayers’ money was wasted on a consultant, but some councillors, led by Cr Casey Nunn, who were not happy with this result, wanted to do it all over again in this kangaroo court process against these

Fake $50s tendered

Shopkeepers are being urged to keep an eye out for counterfeit cash after a man used fake $50 notes in Gisborne last week.

Cyber safety primer for parents By Matt Crossman Be aware, be educated, be involved – that’s the message to parents from a leading cyber safety expert ahead of a free forum at Rupertswood Mansion. Former police officer Susan McLean, a regular visitor to Sunbury schools for many years, says the eye-opening presentation will help parents better understand the digital landscape and protect their children from dangers such as cyber bullying, online grooming and sexting.

‘‘It’s not about moral panic, it’s about providing a realistic view of what it’s like out there,’’ Ms McLean said. ‘‘Parents can’t rely on their own online experience because their experience will be very different to that of their children.’’ She said that while many schools and parents were proactive about cyber safety, Sunbury was not immune to problems. Local students had talked to her about their friends interacting with people randomly online. ‘‘The other one is the sharing of naked

photos,’’ Ms McLean said. ‘‘Girls, especially, are often being pressured to send these photos and then are being blackmailed afterwards.’’ Ms McLean, who has been working recently with students and staff at Salesian College, said parents and community leaders needed to help

reinforce that online bullying and harassment were unacceptable. Elaine Dugdale-Walker, of Salesian College’s student services department, said the forum was part of the college’s ongoing certification as an eSmart school. ‘‘There’s so many positive things about the internet and social media, but it’s important parents understand there are risks also,’’ she said.

Toast to masters of talk Sales managers, sports club presidents, smallbusiness owners and aspiring CEOs – these are just a few of the people who have improved their public speaking skills thanks to the Sunbury and Macedon Ranges Toastmasters. The club, which celebrates its 35th anniversary with a free community event on Tuesday night, continues to teach techniques to help people become better leaders and communicate with conviction and passion. Brian Rice is just one of the club’s success stories. The Gisborne resident sought help from the group 15 years ago when, as a laboratory manager, he was called upon to make a presentation to senior university staff. ‘‘I was actually quite terrified at the prospect,’’ Mr Rice says. ‘‘I was technical management, not an academic, so giving presentations certainly wasn’t something I was used to.’’ Mr Rice says he noticed a major shift in his confidence after just a few club meetings. Since

making a successful presentation, he’s gone on to win Toastmasters awards, serve as an area governor, act as a mentor to new clubs and make lasting friendships. ‘‘It’s given me a lot of confidence, a lot more ability to get up and state my case in a range of settings,’’ Mr Rice says. President Luba Bradford says the club provides a supportive environment where people can overcome their fear of public speaking. ‘‘Other benefits include the opportunity to increase confidence, build critical thinking skills and become an effective listener,’’ she says. The club meets on the first and third Tuesday of every month at Sunbury Senior Citizens Centre. More details: www. macedonrangestoastmasters.org.au Matt Crossman

Impetus to anti-violence By Matt Crossman A Woodend woman who was abused by her former partner is urging people to write to the Royal Commission into family violence. The commission, which will recommend how Victoria’s responses can be improved, is accepting until May 29 submissions from people affected by family violence. Its report and recommendations are due for presentation to the state government by February next year. Woodend’s Belinda Spence said the commission was a great opportunity for the community to talk about the issue. ‘‘It needs to be brought out in the open,’’ she said. ‘‘There also needs to be more services for every victim, not just those who have drug and alcohol problems.’’ Ms Spence was traumatised by her former partner throughout their two-year relationship. The man, who was much larger than her, regularly yelled at and cornered her. He also stopped her from socialising with family and friends and racked up large bills in her name. The final straw came when the man, who has since died, brutally killed her daughter’s cat. ‘‘I ended up packing my things and doing a midnight flip when he was at work,’’ Ms Spence said. However, the hard road had only just begun, with overstretched support services turning her away because she did not also have a drug or alcohol problem. ‘‘It’s a real problem that, when you walk away, there’s so few places to go,’’ Ms Spence said. ‘‘As a state, we are behind a lot of others.’’ Almost two years’ later, Ms Spence is still trying to rebuild her life. ‘‘Sadly, I’m far from being the only one,’’ she says.

been affected by this issue and has insights to share, whether personally or through their work, to make a contribution,’’ Ms Thomas said. Ms Spence said the key to ending family violence was education. ‘‘And from a young age. As a society, we’ve got to make it absolutely clear that this is not appropriate.’’

Community groups can apply for grants of up to $10,000 for projects to combat drug use.

Michelle and daughter Mahli will tackle the Mother’s Day Classic for breast cancer. (Damjan Janevski)

Ready to walk the talk Sunbury’s Michelle Payne will walk in honour of her mum as part of an event that’s helping hundreds of people redefine Mother’s Day. Ms Payne, who lost her mother to breast cancer in 2002, says Woodend’s annual Mother’s Day Classic gives her a chance to do something positive on a day that can be filled with emotion. ‘‘Mother’s Day is always tough,’’ she says. ‘‘But taking part in the walk has always made me feel like I was doing something that mattered and doing something for her.’’ Ms Payne says this year’s event will be made

more special with her daughter Mahli, 8, joining her for the first time. Participants can walk or run a four-kilometre or eight-kilometre course beside Five Mile Creek, lined with colourful autumn trees. Money raised goes to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, funding vital breast cancer research. More than $14,000 was collected last year. Registration for Sunday’s event closes at 8.30am.

Diary of an art journal

Sunbury Hume Transition Audit The Minister for Local Government, the Hon Natalie Hutchins MP, has identified a number of issues and community concerns surrounding the separation and transition of Sunbury out of the City of Hume. At the request of the Minister, Local Government Victoria also commissioned two reports that reviewed the work to date. These were undertaken by Deloitte Access Economics and Mr Yehudi Blacher P.S.M. F.I.P.A.A., a consultant experienced in Local Government. To address all of the outstanding issues, the Minister appointed the Hon Frank Vincent AO QC and Mr John Watson to undertake an audit of the Sunbury Hume Transition and report to the Minister by the end of August 2015. For more information visit: www.premier.vic.gov.au/media-centre

Statement from the Transition Auditors

Start your story through art journal classes at Sunbury’s Arthouse Direct. Mixed media artist Kate Adderley will teach two styles of journaling at 2B Old Bakery Walk, 10am-noon. Starts today. Cost: $130. ■ 9740 7487

As independent Transition Auditors, we have been appointed to: • Ensure the community is fully informed about the transition process • Provide further consideration of the issues raised, and • Provide recommendations to the Minister to enable the community to move forward.

Start mini-orchard, vegie patch

Mr Blacher raised a number of issues relating to the adequacy of the October 2013 poll of Hume residents and ratepayers which supported the separation. He expressed the view that the process was unsatisfactory in a number of respects: • That the only information provided to potential voters was a reference to a lengthy and highly technical 2013 KPMG report. This report was available only via a government department website. Mr Blacher concluded that it was “unlikely that many residents would have read it in detail “. • He criticised the panel process which followed the poll. While the panel was directed to examine the implementation of the separation of Sunbury out of Hume, Mr Blacher concluded that the Terms of Reference required the panel to develop the kind of detailed proposal that should have been put prior to the poll to enable the voters to make an informed decision in the poll. • He also raised concerns that the panel recommended a cross-subsidy from the City of Hume to Sunbury based on its view that “rate increases for the new Sunbury municipality ... would be unpalatable to Sunbury residents”. In Mr Blacher’s view this represented a very significant departure from the outcome that would have been anticipated by voters in the poll.

Hanging Rock legacy

The effect of Hanging Rock on cultural imagination will be discussed by PhD student Amy Spiers this Saturday at Newham Mechanics Institute from 2pm. ■ amyspiers@gmail.com

The Blacher report

Mr Blacher concluded that Hume residents had not been adequately informed. Nor was it likely that they would, through reasonable inquiries, have been able to inform themselves when deciding whether or not they would vote, or how to vote. View the Blacher Report: www.sunburyhumetransition.vic.gov.au

The Deloitte report Deloitte Access Economics challenged some of the assumptions and conclusions contained in the July 2013 KPMG report: Impact of Potential Secession of Sunbury from Hume; and a May 2014 report from CT Management which informed the panel’s recommendations. Deloitte concluded that: • “... if increases in Sunbury’s rates revenues were to be held at 5.5% per annum over the period [10 years] as assumed by CT Management, it is likely that some material reduction in service levels and staffing would be required over the medium to longer term ...“ • “To maintain current service levels and staffing and delivery of capital works, Sunbury would need to increase rate revenue by, at minimum, a further 3% per annum on average (to a total of 8.5% per annum for at least the next 10 years) ...” • “Alternatively, should the cross-subsidy from HWS [Hume Without Sunbury] not be provided at all, an additional rate increase in Sunbury in the order of 6% in the first year would be required (or a lesser but equivalent annual increase over time).” • “That is, Sunbury residents could anticipate a rate increase of an estimated 14.5% in the first year, followed by annual increases of 8.5% per annum for the remainder of the 10 year period, or an annual increase of about 9% per annum for 10 years.” View the Deloitte Report: www.sunburyhumetransition.vic.gov.au

The task of the Transition Auditors If valid, these criticisms and assessments raise serious questions about the implementation of the decision to separate Sunbury from the City of Hume which was supported by the poll.

Smart Business Conference 19–20 May, Kyneton Town Hall 13 workshops over two days! • Topics include marketing, starting a new business, pricing for profit, crisis planning and more • Networking luncheon • Free mentoring sessions Book online at mrsc.vic.gov.au/business-events, email ecodevadmin@mrsc.vic.gov.au or phone 5421 9616.

Not only would the poll process be problematic but the consequences could be potentially very different from those contemplated by residents and ratepayers in deciding whether to vote and how to vote. The outcome of this process will have impacts for years on both current residents and ratepayers but also a very large number of people expected to move to this growth area. To properly consider what is required to address these issues, the Transition Auditors will report to the Minister for Local Government in response to their Terms of Reference for the Sunbury Hume Transition Audit.

Questions to be considered As Transition Auditors we will consider the following questions: 1. What are the financial and non-financial implications of the separation of Sunbury from the City of Hume on residents in Hume and Sunbury? 2. Are the criticisms of the poll justified and what would residents require to be fully informed? 3. On what terms should separation be carried out, including the distribution of assets, and should a cross-subsidy be provided to Sunbury? 4. Should residents have a further opportunity to have their views heard? As Transition Auditors we are required to have regard to a range of previously published reports. We will provide more information to the community regarding the financial and service delivery implications of the separation process. We will also be consulting across the City of Hume in the near future. In due course, we will also seek public submissions in response to the information that will be provided. To register your interest in being involved in this process, please provide your name and contact details via our website: www.sunburyhumetransition.vic.gov.au Following careful consideration of all views and relevant information we will report back to the Minister by the end of August, 2015.

IS SITTING THE NEW SMOKING?

If you are like most people, you spend much of your day sitting down, whether it be in the car or train, at the office, watching TV, or browsing on your tablet. Most of us know that we need to be more active, but research is now showing that simply exercising more is not enough, we also need to be sitting less. The benefits of going out for an hour’s walk or jog can be “undone” if you also spend most of the day sitting. Research shows that sitting greater than eight hours a day leads to higher rates of many chronic diseases, irrespective of whether we also exercise regularly. It contributes to high blood pressure and heart disease and increases the risk of Type 2 Diabetes by

a staggering 90%. Sustained sitting also increases cancer risk by up to 66%, including increasing the risk of lung cancer by 50 %; this is higher than that caused by second hand smoking. Interestingly prolonged sitting increases the risk of premature death by any cause by 18%. (1) While in some occupations eliminating sitting can be difficult, there are many ways to reduce our sitting times. These can include standing up to answer the phone or read emails, standing desks, setting alarms on mobile devices every 30 minutes to remind us to take breaks from our desks and challenging social norms by conducting standing or walking meetings. Getting up during commercial breaks on TV and taking regular short stops on longer car trips can also help. (1) Biswas, A. et al. Sedentary Time and Its Association With Risk for Disease Incidence, Mortality, and Hospitalization in Adults: A Systematic

Pay your feet a little respect today and they’ll carry you long into the future. There’s no need for expensive spa treatments to take care of your feet. Try these easy tips: If you like to soak your feet, forget the Epsom salts – they’re too drying and don’t offer any medical benefit. Instead, just use warm (never hot) water and a little liquid soap that contains skin softeners.

Your feet should not hurt – ever. Tight shoes can worsen bunions, distort toe shape and cause painful foot growths. If you wear high heels, choose heels that are wide, stable and no higher than two inches. Flip-flops and completely flat shoes don’t provide arch support. To keep feet strong and healthy, minimise the amount of time you wear shoes that lack supportive arches. Pregnancy, ageing and diabetes all affect feet.

Moisturise your feet after washing. During dry-skin winter months, you may want to moisturise several times a day. Nothing fancy is needed – basic lotions and creams are fine.

Pregnant women need shoes with broad heels, arch support and good shock absorbency. Added pregnancy weight may cause your shoe size to change, so get your feet measured.

Alternate the shoes you wear – that may mean having two pairs of your favourite, every day style. Shoes need time to air out to avoid triggering foot odor or infections.

Diabetics can develop serious conditions related to feet and lower legs. Check feet for any problems daily and see a podiatric physician at least annually.

Breast cancer – catch it early Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women, with one in eight developing the disease.

• A lump; change in general lumpiness; breast thickening.

Early detection of breast cancer greatly increases the chances of survival, and access to diagnostic imaging services is crucial.

Lake Imaging in Sunbury meets rigorous government accreditation standards to provide a full, year-round complement of diagnostic breast imaging services for the women of Sunbury and surrounds. Friendly, caring, experienced female staff perform the examination on digital computerised equipment that is faster and simpler than traditional mammography methods. An on-site specialist radiologist trained in breast imaging is available five days a week to discuss any queries or concerns patients may have about their imaging and perform additional diagnostic tests should any suspicious abnormalities be detected. Access to supporting services, including ultrasound and biopsies, allows for a faster diagnosis and improved patient outcomes. The following signs and symptoms warrant a discussion with your GP, who will provide a referral for further investigation:

Within a walk of the primary school, kindergarten and medical centre, this house on about 2800 square metres couples with an 8 x 15 x 3.7-metre Colorbond shed with concrete floor and power connection – a boon for tradies, home handyperson or a collector of big toys. Three large bedrooms with wardrobes share a bathroom with two-way access. Through a set of multi-paned doors, a carpeted lounge room has a gas heater set in a brick surround, and the family-meals area has a wood heater. The kitchen has loads of storage, dishwasher, wall oven and gas cooktop. A massive pergola looks out to a big, grassy backyard beyond which are many mature trees – and enough space for the kids to get lost in. Gas ducted heating, split-system, solar hot water, dog run and kennels, water tank (and town water) and an integrated double garage with back roller door are other features.

Views from an elevated covered deck and a fenced in-ground pool in the midst of dense foliage are just the start of the treats on offer at this large family dwelling. There are five bedrooms – two on the lower ground floor, along with a great rumpus room and a bathroom – and three on entry level. The main bedroom here has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite and the other two flank a study and bathroom. A separate lounge room links with a large, attractive family-meals area which has a timber-lined vaulted ceiling and floorboards. The appealing all-white kitchen is modern-country in style, further enhanced by two leadlight feature windows; an island bench, pantry, wall oven, cooktop and dishwasher are in the set-up. The block of about 1300 square metres also has a double carport and garage/ workshop.

Its Ivy League street name suggests a certain cachet, so it’s good to find this one has its own solid credentials. Built by award-winning locals, Layton Homes, the house in glam Mulbarton estate has telling design details that elevate both style and substance, making it one that families will claim ownership of with pride. Deep, stepped cornices on 2.7-metre ceilings, solid Tassie oak floorboards, columned room entries, an impressive staircase, a cloak room and butler’s kitchen help drive home the breadth of quality. Entry is into a wide, boarded hallway with an open, carpeted study and an elegant, carpeted lounge room, with gas-log fire, down the right-hand side.

Opposite, there’s a powder room that includes a shower, and a proper cloak room (classily clever). Access to the remote-controlled extended double garage is near here. The sprawling hub at the back, with those lovely floorboards and an Ultimate wood heater, includes a separate, carpeted rumpus/theatre room with sound-proofing (more cleverness). The ultra-smart kitchen has a massive Caesarstone-topped island bench, lots of white (soft-close) vinyl-wrap cabinetry, glass splashback in the softest green, a walk-in pantry, dishwasher, Blanco 900mm cooker and, the sparkler on the cake, a butler’s kitchen as nicely turned out as the main kitchen. Next door

to this is a fabulous laundry with a long workbench and walk-in closet. Upstairs has a vast living room (carpeted), around which are ranged four large bedrooms, main bathroom and a separate toilet. Two secondary bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes, the other a wall of built-ins. Through double doors, the big main bedroom has glass-framed balcony access (to soak up views of the ranges), a fitted dressing room behind an island wall and a super-sleek en suite with oval bath, dual vanity basins and walk-in shower with dual heads. Bifolds open from the hub to an integrated deck, which links with a north-facing, full-width gabled pergola at

the back where a wood-fired pizza oven and Jumbuck built-in barbecue are focal points. Olive, lillipilly, maple, birch, photinia and pittosporum trees adorn an immaculate backyard where sandstone steps lead to the upper level; play equipment in a mulched section here is another winner for families. Also out back, there’s a Colorbond double garage/workshop with three-phase power that’s connected throughout the property. Ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, multiple ceiling fans, double-glazing and LED lights throughout, gas/solar HWS and a block of about 1100 square metres seal the deal.

SPORT President sees good signs as Rangers find their feet Two first-half goals to Kyneton District gave it the points in the first battle with local rival Gisborne in FFV state league 5. While the clubs’ women’s teams have played against each other, it’s the first time the men have faced off on the pitch. Ryan Cole was the hero in front of goal for the Rangers, netting both. Gisborne scored in the second half to make it 2-1 as both teams were wasteful in front of the posts. Rangers coach Cameron Plant said the game, and the win, was no more important than the fixtures to come.

Speaking before the match, Cole said: “We’re only five games in and the results will take care of themselves. “Right now it’s about seeing how players adapt to taking on new roles.” Plant, who took over the coaching reins this season after a break, said there were no expectations for the club’s second year in state league 5. His team is fourth with a 2-2-2 record. “We’re just trying to build the knowledge and understanding of our players. “There are always going to be players who are more committed and improve more

because of that. In my view, there’s always some luck with any sport as to where you finish a season. “It won’t be through a lack of effort.” For Gisborne president Rodney Smith, the move into state league 5 has been harder than they first thought. “The standard is a lot better than we anticipated. “We still have a very young side and most of them have never played at this level before and we’ve yet to play every team.” Smith said despite the results not going their way, there had been some good signs.

Roos regain their edge By Tara Murray It’s been a long 18 months for Sunbury Kangaroos Netball Club, but Saturday saw the return of the A-grade team to the Riddell District Netball League winners’ list. They were unable to field a team last year and it’s been a bit of a struggle for the Roos to even take the court this season. But hard work paid off for its 41-36 victory over Woodend-Hesket on Saturday. After an even first half, the Kangaroos dominated the third quarter to end it with a nine-goal lead. The Hawks didn’t give up and, on two occasions in the last quarter, took shots that could have reduced the margin to a goal. Both times the Kangaroos’ defence stepped up. For coach Jess Geary, it got a little nerve-racking towards the end of the game. “Our defensive pressure was amazing; our defence stepped up.” The tone for the Kangaroos win was set in the first quarter when goal defender Tayla Green was sent off court. Despite being a player down, the Roos managed to go goal for goal during that period. “Mon [Monique Sheridan] as goal-keeper was brilliant. We didn’t let it worry us and everyone helped out and kept the pressure on,” Geary said. At the other end, Mia Rochester starred under the ring with 32 goals, her height a headache for the Hawks. “Mia is a new recruit. She filled in last week … it was only going to be for one week, but she’s decided to play every week,” Geary said. Holly Barr, Ellie Wortmann and Chelsea Tobin were the best of the Hawks, who remain winless after three rounds. Geary, who has been at the club for seven years, took on the role to ensure the club has an A-grade coach. “The girls have been excellent and everyone puts in,” Geary said. “It’s very positive here. We got two wins from four matches [on Saturday] and you can’t ask for much more.” In other games, several sides were missing their Victorian Netball League players, leaving them undermanned. It didn’t seem to worry the top sides, who continued their good starts to the season. Riddell won the grand final rematch against Melton Centrals, Rupertswood defeated Diggers Rest, Macedon was too good for Wallan, and Lancefield beat Rockbank. For more photos, go to www.sunbury. starweekly.com.au.

Gisborne’s only win for the season came courtesy of a forfeit in round one. “We were with the top team until the 85th minute when there were a couple of decisions which didn’t go our way. “We only just got beaten in another game. A couple of mistakes cost us, but we’re showing that we can match it with the other teams.” In FFV state league 1 north-west, Sunbury United lost to Sydenham Park 3-0. Tara Murray

Injury-hit Lions pipped at the post If the game had been just five minutes shorter, the Sunbury Lions would have been sitting on the winners’ side of things in the Ballarat Football League on Saturday. Instead, the Lions, who led for 98 per cent of the game, suffered a heartbreaking loss to East Point, 15.11 (101) - 14.14 (98). Lions coach Rick Horwood said he couldn’t fault the endeavour of his players, but in the end injuries got in their way. “James Rizk hurt his ankle in the warm-up and tried to play, but someone fell on it early in the first quarter and he struggled after that. “Dwain Sanderson popped his shoulder out in the first quarter, and Nathan Bridgland has suspected broken ribs. From early in the second quarter we had only one on the bench. “We had to put James on injured in the forward pocket in the second half as the other players couldn’t run and needed a rest.” Sanderson and Bridgland will miss several weeks with their injuries. The Lions were also left to rue missed opportunities. “There were six or seven shots on goal we should have made,” Horwood said. “We had three chances running into open goal and missed all three, including hitting the post twice. “We missed one from 10 metres in front. There were some bad mistakes under pressure in the last five minutes of the game. “You learn from being in those situations.” Josh Burgess dominated up forward, kicking six goals; Nathan Wood continued his good start to the season; and Chris Lynch played his best game for the club. The Lions A-grade netball side lost its second straight game, this time 52-42 to East Point. The Lions women’s football team sits on top of the ladder in the Victorian Women’s Football League west division. The Lions thrashed Bacchus Marsh 16.21 (117) - 0.0 (0). Meanwhile, in the Bendigo Football League, Kyneton and Gisborne both lost their matches. The Tigers were thrashed by Golden Square, losing 17.10 (112) - 7.6 (48). Meanwhile, the Bulldogs struggled against South Bendigo, losing 12.19 (91) - 4.6 (30). Tara Murray 37 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 5, 2015

Romsey had eight players and Rupertswood seven. Kangaroos coach and interleague assistant coach Chris Meacham said Sunbury’s Matt Leonard was added to the list after its official release. “Playing interleague is the next best thing after playing in a premiership,” Meacham said. Matt Power will coach for a third successive year and said coaching staff are excited about the quality and the depth of the squad assembled..

The Sunbury Jets senior women’s side was left to rue a poor second half against Keilor Thunder in Big V basketball division 1. The Jets came out firing in the first half and led by 22 points at the main break. But the Thunder stepped up its game in the second half and the Jets were unable to go with them. Poor shooting in the last quarter, coupled with continued pressure from the Thunder, led to an 82-78 loss for the Jets. Kayla Theodore top-scored for the Jets with 20 points. The Jets are sixth on the ladder. Jets’ men went down to Shepparton 84-66. The Jets were outscored in every quarter despite putting up the same number of field goal attempts. Sammy Gazzo top-scored with 21 points. It was his fourth straight game with 20 or more points. It wasn’t all bad news for the Jets, with their youth sides continuing their flying starts to the season. The men’s youth team rebounded from its first loss of the season last weekend, defeating Keysborough 78-55. Nathan Baker scored 18 points. The undefeated women’s youth side, led by Alex Darby, defeated Sherbrooke 90-75. Darby had 20 points. Both sides are on top of their ladders.

Mateship puts Sunbury in the fast lane School friendships were behind Melvin Monleh’s decision to attend Sunbury Little Athletics – and it has paid off for him and the centre. At the start of the Little Athletics season Monleh joined Maribyrnong College friends Cody Rodwell and Brennan Wilkins, who have competed at the Sunbury centre since they were in the under-6s, and Junior Mabia, who joined the club 12 months before Monleh. The centre was by then well aware of Mabia’s talents – he had won three gold medals at the Australian Little Athletics Championships (ALACs) and several state titles. Monleh soon proved he, too, was someone to watch. Late last month, Monleh won three gold and a silver at the ALACs in Perth. “Melvin came in and beat Junior and everyone was surprised. No-one beat Junior,”

said the centre’s Jeanetta Rodwell. “While they are in different age groups, they race against each other in training.” Rodwell said the arrival of Monleh and Mabia had allowed the centre to reach new heights. “The centre has always won medals and had success. Cody and Brennan have medalled in every region relay since under-7 and every state relay title since under-9s. “But we have never had athletes medal at ALAC before.” The four boys, as well as fellow club athlete Sebastien Bell-Bartels, dominated the state Little Athletics relay championships, winning three titles and breaking three state and one national record. Cody Rodwell won three medals at the 2015 Little Athletics state track and field titles, while Brennan Wilkins won silver in the under-14

heptathlon at the Little Athletics multi-state titles. Wilkins was due to compete in the Australian Junior Championships but had to withdraw because of injury. Mabia won four medals at the event, including one gold. Rodwell said seeing the results was rewarding for everyone. “All five boys are role models to everyone else at the club,” she said.

East Sunbury breaks drought

Sliding in under opposition arms, Ryan Hatty pulls in a tricky mark. He also kicked six goals. (Shawn Smits)

Roos show no mercy By Tara Murray Sunbury Kangaroos started the season in hot form and, for its opposition, the bad news is that this side is only going to get stronger. Wins over fellow 2014 finalists Rupertswood and Diggers Rest in the opening two rounds were followed by the thrashing of WoodendHesket on Saturday. The Kangaroos had eight scoring shots on the board before the Hawks even looked like scoring. That set the tone for the match, with the Kangaroos winning 23.13 (145) - 5.5 (35). Coach Chris Meacham said his team had set its sights on a big win. “We’d seen they had been beaten by a decent margin by two other sides that will be finals contenders,” he said. “We wanted to do the same. “We watched video of them against Macedon and knew their fitness levels would drop off. We wanted to hit them hard.” While the Kangaroos dominated on the scoreboard, their intensity and defensive

pressure also made for standout footy. A chase and run-down by 43-year-old Jamie Cuffe in the second quarter was a classic example. “You have to let them know you are there and it’s part of the work ethic of our side,” Meacham said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re Jamie or a younger player, everyone is the same.” The margin meant Meacham was able to switch the team around when a couple of players went off injured. Captain Daniel Gregory spent time on the wing and kicked a goal, while Tom Borg also played up the ground. “Mitch Streiff went up forward and kicked six goals, while Ryan Hatty also got six goals and Phil Kaufmann kicked five. “We want to reward players and allow them to play in the midfield or other positions,” Meacham said. “Our players have to keep asking what position they’re playing in as we’ve been able to throw them around.” The Kangaroos still have players to rejoin

them. Simon Clarke has missed two games and is likely to miss this week with a hamstring injury, while Adam Fenton is a chance to return this week. Joeb Ploog came back through the reserves on Saturday. Last year’s Bowen medallist, Dylan Murphy, will miss the rest of the season after hurting his knee against Diggers Rest. For Hawks’ coach Ross Sleight, the game was an improvement on the week before. The Hawks have had a tough start to the season, facing last year’s six finalists in the first seven weeks. “We’re getting the ball but turning it over too much,” Sleight said. “There are 14 new blokes at the club. We’re all still learning to play together. “We’re training well; it’s the confidence on the field that’s shot. “There hasn’t been a winning culture for the last few years and it’s about trying to increase that again,” Sleight said.

Wins haven’t come often for East Sunbury in the Essendon District Football League’s division 2. But Saturday changed all that. The club’s three senior teams all won – a first for the Thunder’s short history. The 15.17 (107) - 11.10 (76) victory for the firts against Burnside Heights is only its second win ever. Coach Steve Grey said results showed the club was moving in the right direction. “At three-quarter time of the seniors, I was drilling it in to the boys that [our] other teams had won and all they had to do was keep playing the way they had. “There was the belief that we could win and we kicked three goals in the last quarter against the wind to get it,” Grey said. “Everyone was pretty excited, but not many of the guys knew the theme song.” Grey said the team’s ability to link up, run and carry was the difference. “We kicked 15.17, which showed we were getting the ball into our forward 50.” Ash Fleming kicked six goals for the Thunder as he continued his good start to the season. Cameron Johnson was voted best on ground, while Mathew Kuric and Kamen Ogilvie were among the other standouts. Grey said the challenge now was to back up last weekend’s win. The only other win the senior side has had was also against Burnside Heights. “The test is this week when we play Hadfield; we play the top two sides the next couple of weeks,” the coach said. “The group has grown a lot closer and the belief is growing.” Tara Murray
