A quantum leap forward The father and son behind a highperformance car designed and built in Gisborne are ready to take their passion for exhilarating motoring around the world. Quantum Performance Vehicles’ GP700, with a top speed about 320km/h, was unveiled at Gisborne Peak Winery on Friday. The sleek car, wheeled out after seven years of development, can be street-registered and goes from zero to 100km/h in 2.6 seconds. Operations manager Andrew David worked closely on the design with his father, Quantum founder Jeff. He says that while the open-wheeler will be available in Australia, the company will seek to carve out a market in emerging wealthy countries of the Middle East and south-east Asia. ‘‘We’re aiming to sell a handful in the first year, then 10 a year after that,’’ he says. Production of the GP700 will be capped and the car will be sold as part of a package, including access to a personal engineer. Andrew says the car’s custom aluminium and carbon chassis delivers incredible grip, while low-speed tuning and suspension balancing makes it equally at home on the road and racetrack. ‘‘We really focused on making a car that’s very driveable,’’ he says. ‘‘A lot of supercars are very complicated, but the GP700 is not. ‘‘It’s also a pretty good Sunday drive.’’ Car designer Jeff David and the Quantum team, Bob Dixon, Sean McKinney and Andrew David, with the Quantum GP700.

Kangaroo cull slammed By Matt Crossman Wildlife rescuers have rejected calls for a kangaroo cull in the Macedon Ranges. Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network (MRWN) spokeswoman Fiona Corke said more signs and better driver education were needed, after a number of recent crashes involving kangaroos. A motorist involved in a serious smash north of Kyneton last week called for kangaroos to be shot to make roads safer before someone is killed. Residents have also complained about kangaroos in backyards and gardens, while large mobs are regularly seen grazing beside roads near Gisborne, Riddells Creek and

Kyneton. Ms Corke said kangaroo numbers were not especially high this year and vowed that MRWN would fight any moves to cull the protected native species. ‘‘To blame kangaroos and native animals … it wouldn’t happen in any other type of road accident,’’ Ms Corke said. ‘‘A lot of it has to come down to driver responsibility. “People need to slow down, be aware of their surroundings and use their peripheral vision.’’ Ms Corke said there was poor or no signage in many areas where kangaroos were found. ‘‘And information about how to avoid wildlife on our roads – it’s not even in our learner driver handbook,’’ she said. Annual data released by MRWN reveals the

buildings or threatening human safety. In the Macedon Ranges, 79 permits to get rid of 2180 kangaroos were granted in the past year. The spokeswoman also urged motorists to drive to conditions. ‘‘Drivers should be especially careful between dawn and dusk, when native animals are most likely to be on the move.’’ Motor vehicle insurer AAMI records the Macedon Ranges as one of the state’s hotspots for animal-related crash claims, especially in winter. Spokesman Reuben Aitchison said 4600 claims were made across the state in 2014, with Gisborne the second-most dangerous area behind Bendigo. Report injured wildlife on 1300 094 535.

number of animals treated by its volunteers in 2014 was up 300 on the previous 12 months. A total of 1897 animals were attended to last year, 876 more than the 1021 recorded in 2011. Volunteers cared for 1292 kangaroos last year, many injured on local roads. An Environment Department spokeswoman said kangaroo numbers tended to correspond with seasonal conditions ‘‘which are currently favourable’’. She said, where possible, the department encouraged land managers and owners to manage interactions without resorting to fencing or netting. Landholders can apply for a permit to use direct control techniques, such as dispersal or culling, if wildlife is damaging crops and

Cold Chisel hot for Oz Rock party By Matt Crossman An all-Australian line-up headed by Cold Chisel will add to Hanging Rock’s growing reputation as a great concert venue, music pioneer Michael Gudinski believes. As reported by Star Weekly online, the legendary rock act’s only Victorian show will be held at the picturesque Rock on November 21. Frontman Jimmy Barnes, who supported Bruce Springsteen at the Rock in 2013, will return with the band made famous for hits such as Cheap Wine, Khe Sanh and Choirgirl.

Cold Chisel will be supported by The Living End, Mark Seymour & The Undertow and Macedon Ranges’ own Stonefield. Gudinski said there would be plenty of interest in the latest Hanging Rock concert. ‘‘We’ve had some amazing artists there but to have an Australian act like Chisel is pretty special,’’ he said. ‘‘Having all international acts was never the plan. ‘‘And to have Stonefield perform at home … it’s fantastic because they are just a good rock band and fit right into the Hanging Rock feel.’’ Gudinski’s Frontier Touring is two years into a five-year deal to hold up to four concerts

a year at the venue. The concerts have been a boon for the Macedon Ranges, with each event estimated to have injected close to $4 million in to the local economy. A total of 64 per cent of the 10,000-plus people at Rod Stewart’s March 28 gig came from Melbourne, with eight per cent coming from interstate or overseas. Gudinski said Frontier continued to work with Macedon Ranges council to maximise the venue’s potential. ‘‘We’ve certainly got over the traffic problems we had in the early days with Leonard Cohen,’’ he said. ‘‘We’re getting better and better at it.

‘‘It’s a great thing for local tourism and business.’’ Gudinski said talks continued about other shows scheduled for later next summer. ‘‘People clearly love it and the artists enjoy playing there. It’s a special vibe. ‘‘This thing is becoming world-renowned.’’ Members of Cold Chisel’s mailing list will get first access to the best tickets for the November 21 concert. Further tickets will be offered to members of My Ticketek and affiliated databases 10am until 10pm today, before the final allocation of seats at midday tomorrow.

Mount regains its stature

(Shawn Smits)

Majestic gardens and a village ambience continue to attract house hunters to Mount Macedon. Kennedy and Hunt real estate agent Dominic Romeo said while the top end of the housing market had been undeniably tougher following the global financial crisis, interest in properties on the mount was building after a few poor years. ‘‘Things were somewhat slow but certainly, the last six to eight months, there has been a large increase in interest,’’ Mr Romeo said. Latest Real Estate Institute of Victoria figures show the median house price in the Macedon Ranges increased 10.1 per cent in 2014 to $545,000. March quarter figures were not available for Mount Macedon but the median house price at nearby Macedon was $600,000. Mr Romeo said Mount Macedon’s environment was a major drawcard. And while many buyers are interested in properties with large gardens or historic buildings, others are seeking simple brick veneers or more modern housing. While an abundance of cheap land may be attracting people to places such as Gisborne, he said the reverse could also be true. ‘ ‘We’ve certainly had people wanting to move on,’’ he said. ‘‘You can buy a property up on Mount Macedon with two acres next to it and know somebody is not going to be able to build nine units there in a few years time.’’ Mr Romeo said significant sales in recent times included historic hill station Karori, which went for more than $2 million.

Coles Woodend plans rejected By Matt Crossman Residents who fought off plans for a controversial service station development in Woodend are preparing themselves for a battle at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Macedon Ranges councillors went against the advice of officers and rejected the application for a Coles Express station at 59 High Street, having heard objections relating to traffic, the proposed development’s size and potential affect on town character. More than 50 people packed the gallery for last Wednesday’s decision following a vigorous

social media campaign that encouraged people to email councillors. The decision was unanimous but Cr Roger Jukes had earlier warned that if a VCAT appeal was successful, the community could end up with a development it ‘‘really, really did not want’’. Tom Harrington, representing Coles, told the council that Coles had worked extensively with officers to develop a proposal that was appropriate for the former Woodend Automotive site. He said the design included low building heights, minimal signage and timber elements to reflect the rest of Woodend.

‘‘We have one opportunity to get this site right, or it will remain derelict and continue to detract from the town’s charm,’’ Mr Harrington said. But residents warned that the proposed service station was within 50 metres of a railway bridge that created a dangerous blind spot. They also aired fears about pedestrian and cyclist safety. ‘‘Traffic will increase with the addition of the service station,’’ resident Barry McDonald said. “Getting across the road east to west is already problematic as it is.’’ Woodend’s Maxwell Winchester said police already effectively acknowledged the site was

a blind spot because they regularly conducted breath tests there. ‘‘I would ask you, when the first cyclist or pedestrian gets hit, is that the kind of legacy you want to leave as a council?,’’ Dr Winchester asked. Cr Russell Mowatt said possible snow and black ice in the area meant the development was ‘‘fraught with danger’’ while Cr John Connor said the site’s proximity to school bus stops was also a concern. The applicant has 28 days to appeal. A spokesman for Meinhardt Australia, the development group that is representing Coles, did not wish to comment.

Arts to warm the soul Thousands of people will be taken on a journey of music, art, words and ideas during this weekend’s Woodend Winter Arts Festival. Festival director Jacqueline Ogeil says the 11th annual festival includes almost 40 events at venues ranging from galleries and cafes to church halls and even a pub. She says the boutique festival, which opens with fireworks at Buffalo Stadium on Friday, is inspired by similar sized festivals in Europe, and continues to grow in stature. ‘‘We are now known as a world-class festival for music and our literary events are quite amazing, too.’’ Ms Ogeil says a rare Steinway grand piano will be central to this year’s music program, which also includes performances by romantic piano virtuoso Nikolai Demidenko

and mezzo soprano Sally Wilson with pianist John O’Donnell. Singapore’s premier T’ang string quartet will make an exclusive visit to the Macedon Ranges town. The festival’s literary events include talks by foreign correspondents Gay Alcorn, Michael Bachelard and James Button and political insights from former MPs Gareth Evans and Mary Delahunty. Other festival highlights include botanical art lectures, family history workshops, pub philosophy and pottery exhibitions. Details: www.woodendwinterartsfestival. org.au.

A Lancefield woman was sexually assaulted in her home during an aggravated burglary early Friday morning. Police were told two men armed with guns and wearing balaclavas entered a Red Gap Road rural property via an unlocked door about 2am. They woke the two adult occupants, a 42-year-old man and 36-year-old woman, and tied them up while they searched for money. The female victim was then taken into a bedroom where she was sexually assaulted and threatened. The duo left the scene in a car. They were wearing balaclavas and yellow fluorescent vests with the word ‘police’ on them. Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Horse centre plan clears hurdle By Matt Crossman Plans for an international standard equine centre in the Macedon Ranges will go to the next stage after the council endorsed a feasibility study last Wednesday night. The $95,000 study, funded by the council and state government, was the subject of hot debate with councillors disagreeing as to whether it was best to conduct a thorough risk assessment before or after a full business case was developed. After a number of alternative motions were

defeated, councillors eventually decided to seek support of the state government to prepare a plan. The vote was 6-3. Cr Sally Piper had called for full costings and a complete risk analysis before any more money was spent. Supported by Cr Russell Mowatt and Cr Jennifer Anderson, Cr Piper said she was not against the project but too many questions remained unanswered. ‘‘What are we entering into … what’s our dollar spend? We don’t know,’’ she said. With the council poised to sign off on a budget including debts of $14 million, Cr Piper

said spending more money on the project would not be prudent. ‘‘I don’t believe this council is in the position to spend more money on something that is not a core service.’’ Cr Roger Jukes said the proposed centre, estimated to have an economic impact of $9.9 million a year, would create many jobs and boost tourism. ‘‘If we, as a council, drop the ball on this, rest assured there are plenty of others ready to pick it up and run with it,’’ he said. Cr Graham Hackett said of 789 respondents

to a council survey, only 36 didn’t like the idea. ‘‘We have done the consultation. Let the process go to the stage where these people are at least heard.’’ Speaking after the meeting, Cr Anderson said roads, traffic congestion and subsidised community access would be explored as part of the next stage of the process. ‘‘It is important the concept is scoped in more detail to understand all environmental, economic and social considerations,’’ she said. ‘‘There’s a lot of detailed work to be done before this proposal can become a reality.’’

Holy Cross Primary School pupils hope a monster car raffle will soon have them climbing, jumping and sliding down state-of-the-art playground equipment at New Gisborne. The school’s parents and friends association is raffling a new Toyota Corolla to raise the money needed to replace ageing play structures More than $34,000 in prizes is up for grabs as part of the fundraiser, which will be drawn at the school on June 19. Fundraising co-ordinator Nicole Farrelly says almost 300 of the 500 tickets available have already been sold. Tickets cost $100 each. ‘‘The existing playground is more than 25 years old and many parts of it have been … deemed unsafe,’’ Ms Farrelly says. ‘‘We just want to … build the best possible playground for the kids.’’ Details: 5428 3333 or www. hcraffle.weebly.com.

Sunbury history sound as a bell By Matt Crossman Victoria University is working with a Sunbury school to find an appropriate place within the schoolgrounds for an 1860s bell that predates the town’s historic asylum. The heavy bell, which is believed to have been made for Sunbury’s original industrial school at Jacksons Hill, was later used by the nearby asylum to signal when an inmate could not be accounted for.

discovered the bell had been professionally removed when a teacher took a group of pupils to the site for a history lesson. He said the bell was of great local historical significance and should be located at the school. Sunbury and District Heritage Association’s Trevor Dunn said the bell had been one of the main methods of communication before the introduction of telephones. ‘‘This is great piece of local history … we’d like it to be put on display somewhere prominent

so it can be shared with the community,’’ Mr Dunn said. VU pro vice-chancellor Michelle Towstoless said the university had removed the bell and placed in it in storage in Footscray. ‘‘After looking into its history, we have deemed that it is appropriate for it to be hung at or held by Sunbury Primary School,’’ Ms Towstoless said. She said arrangements were being made for the bell to be delivered to the school.

Calder speed bid won’t be curbed

WHAT’S ON WHAT’S WHAT’S ON ON By Matt Crossman

Variable speed limits and the construction of an overpass at Calder Park Drive are among the measures proposed by the Calder Action Group as frustration about an 80km/h speed limit continues to mount. As reported by Star Weekly, motorists are calling for the speed limit on the freeway between Keilor-Melton Road and Calder Park Drive to be increased to 100km/h. They say the limit, introduced during construction works that have long been completed, is a source of annoyance that leads to tailgating and impatient drivers weaving in and out of traffic. The action group has written to the state government offering solutions it believes will bring the section up to full freeway standard. Group president Ian Sutherland said that while VicRoads had a case for retaining the 80km/h limit, it was too often ignored. He said the group was pushing for variable speed signs where out-bound traffic passes the Melton turnoff to allow for higher speeds during off-peak times. But the main goal remains funding for a long-awaited overpass at Calder Park Drive. ‘‘The moment that is finally built, they’ve ■ got no reason not to raise the speed,’’ ■■ ■ Sutherland said. Mr ■ ■The fight for the project has been long – it was among a list of priorities that also included an overpass at Kings Road as far back as 2002.

Mr Sutherland said that while VicRoads had been supportive, it was time for governments to act. ‘‘We will continue to press state and federal governments to give the Calder Park Drive overpass project high priority,’’ he said. In the meantime, Mr Sutherland encouraged motorists to support any efforts to draw attention to the freeway’s needs.

Home cooked goodness – home delivered FINDING the time to cook a nutritious meal every night can often be challenging. Then you need to have a seemingly endless list of ideas to keep the meals ‘new’ and not ‘boring’. If you are finding it testing to come up with a healthy meal options every night, why not freshen up your ideas in the kitchen by calling on the team at Choice Fresh Meals? For almost two decades, the Company has been keeping people well fed without the hassle of preparation, providing meals in our community to: • Seniors who need our meal service to allow them to remain independent • Busy professional people who don’t have the time to prepare nourishing food • People with an ongoing illness who are unable to cook for themselves. A couple who have taken advantage of the service Choice Fresh Meals offers are Jack and Mavis Kennedy. Both 86, the couple decided to try Choice Fresh Meals after Mavis had heard good reports from friends. “I belong to seniors and we began talking about meals one day and someone said they were using the company and we decided to give it a try”, Mavis said. “The main reason we did it was that if anything happens to me, Jack would struggle to carry on with preparing food. And the same goes for me if something happened to Jack. It’s a nice break from cooking every night and they have a large choice of 10006735-01-a11Mar©MMP meals…everyone has something they don’t like, so it is nice to have a good range to choose 14 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES WEEKLY from.” “We have tried a few different services, but we are very happy with Choice Fresh Meals,” Mavis said. “It’s conveniently delivered to us by Choice Fresh Meals who also now deliver fresh bread and milk and I look forward to not having to cook for the three nights… it’s a nice break. 1133039-DJ19-14

BACK PAIN

Breathe in … breathe out

Low back pain (LBP) is still the most common condition that walks through our doors here at Sunbury Physiotherapy Clinic and over 30 years of my practice as a physiotherapist, the management of LBP has evolved from very much a therapist based approach involving predominately passive therapies such as massage and manipulation to an active patient focussed approach in which the patient is empowered to manage their own symptoms through education as well as general and specific exercises. Evidence based practice strongly supports the move away from passive therapies to the more patient focussed active approach.

There are many different practices of meditation but the two main types cited in health guides are concentration meditation and mindfulness meditation. Concentration meditation involves focusing on a single object, such as breathing, or an image, a movement pattern (as in tai chi or yoga), a sound, word, or phrase that is repeated silently (known as a mantra). The purpose is to learn to focus and develop concentration. When thoughts or emotions arise, the meditator gently directs the mind back to the original object of concentration.

The management on non-specific LBP involves not only a thorough assessment of the patient’s spine and it’s supporting structures, but also assessment of their lifestyle needs. Once assessed and with the collaboration of the patient, a treatment plan is formulated. The plan will often include manual therapy aimed at relieving muscle tightness and joint stiffness and prescription of an individualised exercise program aimed at correcting abnormal movement patterns and muscle dysfunction to reduce the risk of further episodes. The program will often include specific stretches and core strengthening/control exercises.

Mindfulness meditation, on the other hand, involves becoming aware of all thoughts, feelings, perceptions or sensations as they arise in each moment. Mindfulness meditation is enhanced by the meditator’s ability to focus and quiet the mind. Many meditation practices are a blend of these two forms. Meditation is often used in health care these days and focuses on three specific approaches – transcendental meditation (TM), relaxation meditation and mindfulness meditation. Meditation has innumerable benefits, both on a physical and mental level, including lowering blood pressure and the likelihood of anxiety attacks, decreasing tension-related pain, improving the functionality of the immune system, increasing energy levels, improving emotional stability, increasing creativity and improving general clarity and peace of mind.

There is strong evidence in the research literature that supports exercise and active patient empowerment in the management of low back pain. There is little evidence that supports reliance on a therapist to maintain and prevent recurrences of low back pain.

There are many clinics and centres, as well as online forums and various apps, to get started. Regular practice will mean less stress, greater focus and wellbeing, and better relationships.

Physiotherapists at Sunbury Physiotherapy Clinic structure individualised treatment plans on the best available research evidence available.

Traditional Chinese medicine bases its practices on a concept more than 5000 years old, that there is a network of energy pathways (meridians) that can be mapped on to a person’s body. Meridians oscillate or vibrate with life force (qi).

The meridians link all the organs, glands and body chemicals and are also the interface between one person and others, and their environment. Blockages and disruptions to the flow of energy through meridians is seen as the basis as disease, and Chinese medicine corrects these through combinations of medicines, massage and acupuncture, along with diet and exercise.

There is a common saying that “nobody cares about your property as much as you do”, then you might save money as property managers charge fees for services and lastly the biggest fee comes every time they find you a new tenant. But despite all of these benefits, there are greater reasons to hire a property manager for the home you wish to let, whether a single letting or a portfolio. If the only reason for considering managing the place yourself is to save money then you should consider that this is one of those times where trying to save money will likely cost you a lot more in the future. We at Dunlop Real Estate are experienced and dedicated property managers. Our leasing and rental collection fees cover a multitude of additional services including:*careful screening and reference checks of prospective tenants *payment of regular outgoings from rentals

GET YOUR GARDEN READY FOR SALE Being outside is widely accepted as being good for your health, so it follows that one of the first things people will gravitate towards in a property is the backyard. If you’re one of many people blessed with even a small patch of green grass, putting that space to its best use with landscaping can significantlyy increase the likelihood lik of a good sale. Here are a few tips to get your garden in ship sale shape. Tidy and clean- The first step toward making your garden look like lik a lush oasis is to get it spick and span. This means throwing out any old toys, rubbish or gardening waste.. W Washing down fences and the driveway eway eway with a high pressure hose will also make mak a world of difference diff . Basic tasks like lik weeding garden beds and using an edging tool along paths can make we mak an untidy space look much fresher fresher. Lawning La it overer Turf Australia has found that 73 per ercent of buyers want a lawn la primarily as a safe saf playing pla area for their children, and the majority of people want a lawn la to be at least 30 per cent of the total size of the home.Low maintenance is best- Before Bef you start hacking away at the hydrangeas, check with your real estate agent. They’ll be able to tell you what people in the area are looking for in the area and what landscaping however small - will add the most value. Casting the net wide is often a good strategy - not everyone will want a high-maintenance garden, but it’s easier to add to an existing plot than to redo the entire thing.Add some basic shrubbery and some colourful potted flo flowe rs.. wers

lik to thank Patrick and his staff We would like Shantelle, Paula,Wendi and Tanya at LJ Whorlow Real Estate for the recent sale of both our properties, not only did they manage to achieve the price that we anticipated but sold both properties in a matter of two weeks. We would highly recommend LJ Whorlow to anyone who is thinking of selling their property and will happily use them again if we intend on selling in the future. Great job guys, we are thrilled and cannot thank you all enough! Many thanks Michael & Ly Lynette nette Pridmor Pridmoree

2 QUICK BATHROOM FIXES It is important to keep your house in great condition! It makes mak domestic lif a breeze when you stay life sta on top of maintenance, as well as helping you out when the time comes to sell on the property. ty With that in mind, ty. let’s take tak a look at some easy fixes you can use in your bathroom to really liven up the space and better your living. Boost the lighting-One of the easiest ways wa to brighten up a bathroom is to take tak that task literally. y. By changing your light bulbs and fittings you can immediately add some freshness to your bathroom. Green bulbs can add some healthy glow or you can go for extra bright ones if there is not much natural light. Speaking of which, natural light is a great feel for any room. If your bathroom allows it, some opaque windows can let wonderful sunlight in, while also maintaining your privacy. ivacy Use the power of the shower- When you want ivacy. to give your bathroom a great once over with cleaning product, a handy tip is to turn on your shower for a short period of time, long enough to heat up the room. The steam released by the shower will open up the pores in surfaces all over the bathroom, making it much easier to get dirt and grime out of the floor and walls. These are vastly different diff tips, but both can make mak the world of difference diff when it comes to taking on your ur bathroom. A dark and grimy bathroom is hardly ideal, so make mak sure to keep ke ep these tips in mind next time yo youu decide to freshen up yo your ur ow own!

By the time you are thinking about retirement, it’s likel lik y that will have ha substantial equity in your ur home.You .Y might even own the house outright. Selling the family home is one .You solution to free up some money. money It can be invested in a whole range of things - from shares to term deposits, to superannuation. But before bef you put the house on the market, think about what assets this leave lea s you with.Your with.Y pension pa payments often depend on how much these assets are worth, so if you decide to vend your property in favo fa ur of something smaller any money you have ha left over could be counted as income. Alternatives- The prospect of leaving lea all those memories and friends behind may ma seem unappealing, but there are a number of alternatives to selling up. Instead, you might decide to stay sta put.You could adapt the house into a dual occupancy, occupancy in which case you can live in one half and sell or rent the other.T other hink about doing some minor renovations - you ma encounter health or mobility issues down the line, so making the home may easier to navigate na and keep up now will help keep your independence much longer.

SPORT McIntyre clubs lock in coaches By Tara Murray The pieces of the Gisborne District Cricket Association’s McIntyre Cup coaching puzzle are falling into place. Late last month, Gisborne appointed premiership-winning captain Simon Harman to the top job to replace Daniel Trevillian. Last week, Sunbury United announced Jeremy Newman would replace four-time premiership coach James Hughes. Both Trevillian and Hughes will continue to play for their clubs but have stepped down from the coaching because of other commitments. Newman comes to United from Victorian

Sub-District Cricket Association club Melton Lions. United president Chris Linton said Newman brought a lot of playing and coaching experience to the role. “He has a wealth of experience from a different league. “He has been an assistant coach, captained Melton’s thirds and been an assistant coach for Diggers Rest Football Club.” Linton said it would be good for the reigning premiers to work with someone from outside the club. “It’s hard to top what we have done in recent years,” he said. “He will have some fresh

ideas for training, and we want to focus on developing the younger talent.” By contrast, the Dragons have looked within to appoint Simon Harman, who captained them to a premiership in 2008-09. Club president Andrew Headberry said Harman was the right man for the job. “He’s a great player and a school teacher, so he’s good with speaking to the younger guys,” Headberry said. “He’s playing cricket in England at the moment; he lives and breathes the game.” Harman, an opening batsmen, was named in the McIntyre Cup team for the past season. “He made more than 400 runs and was a little

disappointed with his batting,” Headberry said. “He wasn’t as consistent as he would have liked.” The club has already been busy in the off-season, signing Jay King and Beau Valka. “Beau was a Gisborne junior who’s been playing with Premier Cricket club Essendon,” Headberry said. “He’s a middle-order batsman who bowls a bit of spin. “The biggest issue we had last year was with opening bowlers, so we thought we needed to bring someone in. “Jay, who comes across from Rupertswood, fits the role.”

Crunch time in Bendigo league

Tigers find their bite after slow start The bye has come at the wrong time for Lancefield Netball Club. After a mixed start to the season, the Tigers put in a commanding four-quarter performance against Sunbury Kangaroos in a Riddell league match at Boardman Reserve on Saturday. After the Tigers got the early break, the Kangaroos levelled at 5-5 and it looked as if the spectators were in for a contest. Instead, the Tigers put their foot down and took control. The Kangaroos scored only 10 goals from the middle of the first quarter until three-quarter time and struggled to match the Tigers’ height and strength. It was much the same in the last quarter as the Tigers rolled to a 60-19 win. Their coach, Alan Watson, said it was the first

time for the season his side had put in a fourquarter performance. “We’ve been looking for consistency and we hadn’t had it to date,” Watson said. “But we had a couple of structures and set-ups we’ve been working at in training and we put them into play. At the defensive end we went from a wall to a box set-up and caused them to turn the ball over.” Being in control allowed the Tigers to switch their players. One switch the side has made a few occasions this season is the move of captain Gemma Jackson from goals to wing attack. “We’ve been working on this as her height is her strength,” Watson said. “It’s a new position for her.” Midcourter Paula Broadstock rolled her

ankle in the third quarter, but the coach expects her to be right for the next game in two weeks. Watson hopes the win over Sunbury will be a turning point for the season. “The last game we played wasn’t good . . . today’s game is a bit more where we’d like to be,” he said after the match. “Hopefully, it’s a turning point for the season.” The Tigers are fifth on the ladder. Elsewhere, Diggers Rest won a thriller 52-50 against Melton Central, Rupertswood smashed Wallan 62-29, Rockbank got its first win of the season over Kilmore, and Hope Evans shot 59 of Romsey’s goals in its 75-22 win over Woodened-Hesket. Tara Murray

Kyneton Netball Club knows every win is vital to its Bendigo Netball League quest. Sitting sixth with four wins from the opening eight games, the Tigers are just two games behind third-placed Kangaroo Flat. Speaking before the weekend’s match against Kangaroo Flat, Tigers’ coach Karlie Plowman said her side had regained confidence after a couple of poor weeks. “I think we started the season quite well, the first few weeks. We were playing strong netball and then we had a couple of losses in a row,” Plowman said. “Against Strathfieldsaye, it was very disappointing in the second half and it’s a game we think got away. “Against Castlemaine before the bye, we started to regain some of that form.” The Tigers’ other two losses have come against top-two sides Sandhurst and Golden Square. “Against Golden Square, we were happy with the game as we were super competitive. They are the team to beat this year,” Plowman said. “There is a gap between them and Sandhurst and then a gap to the rest of the competition. Anyone else could finish in the top five. Plowman said the strength of the Tigers’ side was that there was no standout player. “It is a team effort and star players only star because of their teammates. “Everyone is playing well and playing their role.” But the Tigers lost to Kangaroo Flat 54-47. Gisborne also lost, to Strathfieldsaye 41-29, and is fifth on the ladder, two points ahead of the Tigers. The footballers didn’t have much luck either, with both Tigers and Bulldogs losing respective games against Kangaroo Flat and Strathfieldsaye. The Tigers had a slow start and never quite got into the game, losing 18.19 (127) - 14.15 (99). Alik Magin kicked four goals for the Tigers while his brother, Rhys, was best for the side. The Bulldogs never shone against Strathfieldsaye, trailing by 33 points at quarter-time. The Storm increased the lead at every quarter to win 17.17 (119) 8.7 (55). Matthew Knox kicked four goals for the Bulldogs with Casey Summerfield named the best. The Tigers are seventh on the ladder ahead of the Bulldogs at ninth.

Turning point for Jets

Sport shorts Golf

It was a chilly day for Romsey Golf Club’s monthly medal on Saturday and only one player was able to break his handicap. Scott Williams took the medal with a round of 89 on his handicap of 22 for a nett 67. Les Gaunt was runner-up with a nett 73 from a handicap of six. Kath Jekabsons won the women’s stroke club championship on Wednesday. She went into the final round of the event with a big lead and although she could not reproduce the form which won her the day event in the second round, she held off all challengers. Pam Drummond won the third round of the championship and the May medal.

By Tara Murray The season is on the line for the Sunbury Jets’ women’s Big V Basketball division 1 side, with a defining few weeks ahead. The Jets entered last weekend’s match against Hawthorn on a four-game losing streak, three of these against teams above them on the ladder. The Jets broke the drought on Sunday, winning 91-77 against the Magic. The coming matches are crucial; three of the next four are against sides on par or below the Jets on the ladder. Speaking before the game against Magic, Jets coach Michael Thomas predicted wins against Hawthorn, Craigieburn, Werribee and Western Port. “We’ve got to take every game as it comes. We need to knuckle down and hopefully get a few more wins,” Thomas said. It had been a tough period for the Jets. “Against Latrobe, we led for 36 minutes of the game. There wasn’t much in the games with Camberwell and Keilor. “Geelong is the only side that has really thrashed us.” Thomas said players, at times, lacked a little confidence. “We are lacking confidence as it has been a while since we have been able to be competitive. “At key moments, we make poor decisions under pressure. For 80 per cent of the game, we have been making good decisions.” He said the side continues to improve. “Genevieve McCorkell is getting better every week as she returns from a knee reconstruction. “Alex Darby played her first senior match up from youth girls. It’s her first year in the program and she has been working hard. “All the girls are working hard and allowing Kelsey [Sigel and star import] to do her thing.”

Lions belted after last-term horror show If Sunbury Lions coach Rick Harwood wanted to show his players a video of the football he didn’t want them to play, he would show them their fourth quarter of the loss to Redan on Saturday. The Lions trailed by only 15 points at half-time in the Ballarat League match and was still in with a small chance of an upset at six goals down at three-quarter time. But that’s when things went horribly wrong for the Lions, who lost 20.15 (135) 7.7 (49). Horwood said his side wasn’t up to the challenge when it was thrown at them. “[Redan] kicked three goals before we scored, but we stuck to our structures in the first half and came back at them,” Horwood said. “We were always going to be asked the

questions and we gave up in the last quarter. They kicked the first goal of that term when we were kicking with the wind and we dropped our heads. “The last 20 minutes was very disappointing. You need to play football for the whole game. You can get away with it against sides around you on the ladder, but not the good sides.” Josh Burgess was the Lions’ standout, while Matthew Parker, Andrew Gill, Greg Hay and Andrew Dahou also played their roles. In another blow to the Lions, young gun Dylan Tarczon was knocked out playing for the Calder Cannons. Horwood said Tarczon, who was to return to the Lions next week while the Cannons have the Queen’s Birthday weekend

off, didn’t wake up until he was in the ambulance. In A-grade netball, an undermanned Lions lost to Redan. With no Chloe Curran or Ruth Smith, the Lions succumbed 38-27. One positive was the return of Rebecca Anstey for her first A-grade game of the season. In Victorian Women’s Football League’s west division, the Lions continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 16.19 (115) - 2.0 (12) thrashing of Kyneton. Grianne Gaffney kicked five goals, while Natasha Hardy was best on ground. The result sets up a top-of-the-table clash with Melton Centrals this weekend.

Crunch time for Roos By Tara Murray Having accounted for every side they’ve come across this season, Sunbury Kangaroos are ready for Romsey. While the Redbacks are not the same side as the one that took last year’s Riddell District Football League premiership, the Kangaroos still see the coming match as a benchmark of the competition. The Kangaroos go into this game as one of just two undefeated sides. On Saturday, the Kangaroos smashed Lancefield at Boardman Reserve. With a 42-0 lead at quarter-time, the game was all but over. The Roos extended their lead in the middle two quarters before the game turned scrappy in the final one, leaving them 19.17 (131) - 5.10 (40) winners. Roos coach Chris Meacham said his side didn’t make the most of its flying start. “When you kick 6.6 and have four missed shots, you know you could have easily been 10 goals up. It was a four to five-goal breeze,” he said. “When you’re winning and up and about, it’s so much harder to be critical of the performance, and I’m rapt with it.” The Tigers got on the board in the second quarter through a free kick but had only seven scoring shots until three-quarter time. Meacham described the last quarter as ugly. “We just wanted the game to finish.” One negative was the loss of Simon Clarke, who, in the first five minutes of his return game, suffered a recurrence of a round one hamstring injury. “It was his first game back. He’ll see a specialist,” Meacham said. Tigers’ key forward Jon Kent also finished on the bench after struggling with a back injury. Meacham said some of the younger players had stepped up in the absence of Clarke and Dylan Murphy. “Mitch Streiff has had some games where he’s been taking his mark and kicking goals. “Mitch Trimboli, who was best on ground, has played three games in the past week and has been fantastic,” he said. “We had 10 different goal kickers.” Meacham said his side was looking forward to its clash with Romsey. “I didn’t see them last year, but I’m under no illusions about what’s ahead. “We just have to keep beating whichever team we’re playing.” In other games, Diggers Rest beat Melton Centrals, Rockbank got its first win for the season, Romsey was too strong for Woodend-Hesket, Rupertswood defeated Wallan, and Macedon beat Broadford.

Baker’s late goal drags Cannons level A goal in the dying minutes saw the Calder Cannons escape with a draw against Gippsland Power in the TAC Cup at Morwell on Saturday. After trailing by five goals earlier in the match, the Cannons led by 10 points at three-quarter time. They gave up the lead in the final quarter before a goal to Ryan Baker saw the Cannons tie the scores. It stayed that way to the final siren, with the Cannons kicking 9.12 (66) to Gippsland’s 10.6 (66). Cannons coach Andrew Johnston said the side concentrated on getting the contested ball to get back into the match. “We got away with a draw,” Johnston said. “We needed to play one-on-one contested footy. It was ugly footy but sometimes you need to do that to get the result. “It put their defenders under pressure and we were able to get the ball into the forward line.“ The side was very different from the Cannons line-up which won its previous match two weeks earlier. “We had eight changes,” Johnston said. “Callum [Moore] and Nick [O’Kearney] were in South Australia playing for Vic Metro and Kova [Mark Kovasevic] missed with an ankle injury.” Among those to come into the side were four debutantes. “Jaron Murphy is a 19-year-old who has been close to getting a game all season,” Johnston said. “He came in after kicking 11 goals for his club side and provided us with a target. “The other three boys [Ryan Baker, Lachlan Bramble and Campbell Moorfield] are 17-year-olds and handled the game really well. They’ll be better for the experience.” The Cannons are ninth as they go into a bye weekend. “The guys are really showing effort and intensity,” Johnston said. “It’s been pleasing form in recent weeks.” Northern Knights lost 14.11 (95) 11.10 (76) to Dandenong Stingrays. Kieran Malone was best for the Knights, kicking four goals and racking up the possessions. Both teams have the weekend off with the competition having a bye for the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.
