Kids having a disco ball Hundreds of primary school-aged children will dress in their PJs well before bedtime for this Friday’s Sunbury Blue Light Disco. Spokeswoman Rose Le Guier says the disco, held every two months, gives children the chance to interact with police in a fun, social setting. ‘‘It’s a healthy physical activity which contributes to the social and emotional development of young people,’’ she says. ‘‘We also provide our junior committee members with meaningful roles in the preparation and running of the discos, aiming to educate and instil accountability.’’ Friday’s disco will run at the memorial hall from 6-8pm. Entry: $7. More details: Senior Constable Kimberley Hunting on 9744 8111

Crime spike not all bad By Matt Crossman Drug offences and breaches of court orders have driven a 30 per cent hike in Sunbury’s crime rate. But Hume police’s Inspector Anthony Brown said higher numbers were not necessarily a bad sign, given a string of successful drug raids. Data released by the Crime Statistics Agency last Thursday reveals 3303 offences were recorded in the year to March 31, up from 2534. There were 279 drug offences detected in post code 3429, up 55 per cent. Justice procedures, including breach of court orders, also soared from 211 to 573 cases over the same period – more than 170 per cent. Inspector Brown said: “Extra support has led to increased patrols, which have led

to increased arrests and detected offences. Obviously, drug use in general, we don’t see as good, but the fact we’re catching them indicates we have increased our efforts in that area.” Inspector Brown said court order breaches include people who break intervention orders or don’t abide by parole conditions. “It just says we’re still maintaining our focus. We don’t see any breach as minor so we’re prosecuting every one.” Vandalism and related offences climbed almost 20 per cent, from 1479 to 1770, while crimes against people rose from 467 to 491 (five per cent). Across Hume, the overall crime rate was up more than 16 per cent. The new figures come a fortnight after the police union rejected calls for Diggers Rest to be transferred into the Sunbury

police service area. The union claims this would put more pressure on officers already dealing with soaring call-outs. Sunbury police station already closes on occasions due to a lack of staff, but officers can still be contacted via intercom and phone. Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn claimed the latest figures were a direct consequence of not having enough police. But Sunbury MP Josh Bull said an extra 406 police officers would be out on the beat statewide as part of a $596 million state government budget package. “Since November 2014, the government has funded more than 1150 police personnel, including 300 general duties police, 106 specialist officers and 400 custody officers,” Mr Bull said.

“With police forming special teams of officers – to smash gangs and target violent crime – we can expect to see increases in aggravated burglary and motor vehicle thefts because offenders are getting caught.” Inspector Brown said Hume had received more police in the last state increase, and while he hoped for more with the coming roll-out, Sunbury continued to be well served. He also said custody officers would free up uniform police. Overall crime in the Macedon Ranges was up 17 per cent, from 2139 to 2503 total offences. Assaults rose 25 per cent, from 179 to 225, property damage climbed from 197 to 220 offences, while court procedures went up from 30 to 64 (113 per cent). Drug use and possession increased slightly, from 147 to 150 offences. FIRST YEAR SCHEDULED SERVICE

Sports folk ‘just want a look in’ By Matt Crossman

‘‘

The group’s submission states several capital works projects in the council’s 2013 four-year works plan had not come to fruition. There have been limited contributions for relatively minor upgrades, it said, calling on the council to finish the draft plan, which has been in development for several years. But Mr Waite said the council had invested heavily in the reserve. “Council has installed a new scoreboard and a new shelter,” he said. “We’ve also sealed the carpark and marked lines, which make it possible for netballers to train.” Mr Waite said residents and the reserve’s users would be asked for feedback once the reserve’s new plan was released.

clubs, which have experienced considerable growth. The football club alone has expanded to include teams at all age levels in the Essendon district league. “Some of our cricket teams have to play home games at Gladstone Park because the facilities are not here,” she said. “And running a club, it’s an expensive business. Having nowhere to hold functions is really holding us back.”

Delays caused while the Victorian government decided whether to create a stand-alone Sunbury council stalled plans for Goonawarra’s John McMahon Reserve, according to Hume council. Responding to a budget submission that slammed the council for perceived inaction at the home of the East Sunbury Sporting Group, council’s city infrastructure director, Peter Waite, said a strategy for the reserve was due to go before councillors later this year. He said a draft plan considered another sports oval and other facilities highlighted by the sporting group, which represents the East

Sunbury football, cricket and netball clubs. But group committee member Sarah Johnston, who started a petition that has more than 125 signatures, said players, spectators and officials had waited long enough for things like a second oval, pavilion, children’s playground and separate clubrooms for functions. “We just want a look in,’’ she said. “There’s $19.5 million being spent in Craigieburn and you can’t start anything for us?” Pressure on the reserve’s facilities is expected to grow significantly in coming years, with thousands of houses to be built near the oval on the Melbourne-Lancefield Road. Ms Johnston said the absence of any facilities in which to raise money had hamstrung the

Sign up to save youth in strife A Romsey teacher has urged Macedon Ranges fathers and educators to sign on for the latest classes of an award-winning youth mental health training course, saying it’s a great chance to learn skills that could save lives. Sacha Wilmann, head of senior secondary school at Hume Grammar, took part in a 14-hour course offered in March. He said the council-run program provided knowledge crucial to helping young people in a crisis or those in the early stages of a mental illness. “It was a real eye-opener,” Mr Wilmann said. “Often when you’re a teacher or a parent, you just deal with it as it comes at you … you don’t really think about it beyond that. “But those initial conversations you have, suggestions for getting assistance, and letting them know you’re there for them, can make a real difference.” The course covers topics including anxiety, depression, psychosis, alcohol and drug problems, and eating disorders. “To actually hear about the weight of numbers, and the fact that many of the issues are growing, and our health system’s capacity to deal with it … that was sobering,’’ Mr Wilmann said. He recommended the course to any adult who has dealings with young people. A special men’s-only session will be held at Woodend’s Holgate Brewery in July and August. Bookings essential.

Ice-cold reality of MND hits home Former AFL player and coach Neale Daniher’s fight against motor neurone disease (MND) has inspired teachers from St Brigid’s Catholic Primary School in Gisborne to brave the winter chill and take part in an ice bucket challenge. Tim Newman, Mel Daily, Eamon Light, Chek Stevens and Kathleen McCann (pictured) are aiming to raise more than $1000 to help the Cure for MND Foundation when pupils, parents and staff gather at 1.30pm this Friday. The five will brave buckets of ice-cold water being poured over them in their effort to raise money and awareness of MND and its impact on lives. Donations: goo.gl/OJGhS0

Trio on Malmsbury theft charges

PHONE \ 03 9249 5381

Three central Victorian men face burglary and theft charges after goods valued at $15,000 were stolen from a house in Walsh Street, Malmsbury, on April 19. Macedon Ranges detectives arrested a White Hills man, 24, following raids on an Epsom property last Wednesday. A Kangaroo Flat man, 32, was charged on May 31, while a Malmsbury man, 28, was charged on June 12. All three were bailed, but the Malmsbury man has since been remanded for breaching conditions. The White Hills man will also face drug trafficking charges. The trio will face Kyneton court on July 25.

Key figures back council revamp By Matt Crossman Moves designed to improve transparency of local government chief executives’ pay and performance, and increase collaboration between councils and communities, have been welcomed in Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges. But a proposal to increase mayoral terms to two years and strengthen mayoral powers has led to calls to also increase pay in an effort to attract high-quality candidates. Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins has encouraged people to comment on a directions paper released as part of a wide-ranging review of the Local Government

Act. She said the most comprehensive review of the act in 25 years would look at all objectives, roles and functions of councils. Proposed measures include improving the transparency of the pay, recruitment, conditions and performance of council chief executives, and creating “citizens’ juries” to give residents greater input into the formation of council plans. Other proposed reforms include: • Providing the option of directly elected mayors; • Beefing up the powers of the local government minister to deal with misbehaving councillors; • Introducing electronic voting for the 2020 council elections;

‘‘

If someone’s working full time, it’s going to be very - Russell Mowatt hard

’’

• Phasing out the rights of non-resident property owners to vote in council elections; and • Creating a single, consistent land valuation system for levying rates. Both Macedon Ranges councillor Russell Mowatt and Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie O’Farrell said the idea of two-year mayoral terms was not without merit.

But they said it was a lot to ask of someone who might be reliant on other income. “If someone’s working full-time, it’s going to be very hard,” Cr Mowatt said. Mr O’Farrell said extending mayoral terms could weaken the field of candidates. “You should have the best person for the job, but if they don’t have the ability to get leave from where they are, you are limiting the people you can draw upon,” he said. While supporting the general concept of citizens’ juries, Mr O’Farrell and Cr Mowatt said they would only work if people with sufficient expertise were involved.

More Creek mythology An author who is writing a history of Riddells Creek is seeking stories and photographs for the project. Sunbury’s Robyn Goss and husband Ian operated a popular local history museum, featuring an old tram, at Riddells Creek in the 1980s. She’s putting a call out for information, no matter how large or trivial, as she starts work on an update of her popular 1983 book Riddell’s Village. The family of local pioneer John CarreRiddell has already offered photographs to help paint a picture of how the town has changed. “It’s such a wonderful area with such a rich history,’’ Mrs Goss said. “There will be a lot of ‘then and now’ … we want people to be able to

see what it was like, because many people come to live here and have no idea. “They don’t know what they might be living on … it may have been a cordial factory.” Mrs Goss says she’s interested in hearing residents’ reflections and memories of the area. “Every family’s got their story,’’ she said.

Brainstorming a sunnier Sunbury By Matt Crossman

Jester holds court A court jester magic show will be part of Hume council’s school holiday program in Sunbury. Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou, pictured with Hannah, 7, Jonathan, 9 and Luke, 4, says the free event, from 2pm on July 5, will be heaps of fun. “Hume’s library holiday program offers children a chance to experience something different, and it’s a great way to meet other families from the local neighbourhood,’’ she says. Cr Patsikatheodorou also encourages kids to visit their library on other days. “Hume’s libraries are well-heated and enable children to snuggle up with a great book. There are so many wonderful fiction and non-fiction titles, which children of all ages can enjoy.’’ Details: www.humelibraries.vic.gov.au

Suggestions to improve Sunbury are gaining traction among a group of residents and shopkeepers who have been meeting to discuss ‘‘dangerous’’ ideas. The Cafe of Dangerous Ideas is an initiative of Sunbury Community Health (SCH), which opened late last year and has included roundtable meetings at which participants have explored opportunities to improve the town. Initiating community “get to know you” activities, creating teams to welcome new residents and a new cultural food festival were among ideas raised. SCH child, youth and family services general manager Marcus Bosch said the concept had sparked some “really good conversations”. “The early stages were very much putting ideas out there whereas now we are looking at where do we go from here,” he said. “We’ve done a lot of talking through the strengths of Sunbury and looking at how we can make it better, through some of those ideas and others.” Mr Bosch said residents from all walks of life were encouraged to take part in the next phase of the project. “We’re looking to explore how we can use the group to move some of these ideas along,” he said. Another idea proposed was setting up neighbourly “sharehoods”, where barbecues or social media connections are organised on a street by street basis, to share information, skills and tools. The next event is at The Valley Cellardoor, in Macedon Street, from 6pm next Tuesday. Details: 9744 4455

School plans get big tick

Funding for legal centre

Loddon Campaspe Community Legal Centre in Bendigo will receive extra funding of $450,000 over three years under a federal Labor government. Bendigo MP Lisa Chesters made the pledge – part of a $43 million national package – last Friday. She also promised Labor would restore funding cuts to Kyneton District Hospital.

By Matt Crossman Plans for a new Kyneton Primary School have been enthusiastically welcomed around town, with many prospective parents seeking meetings to talk about the design. Principal Alistair Rayner said there had been a lot of ‘‘enthusiasm and excitement’’, with people expressing overwhelming support. Detailed plans for the new school on Edgecombe Street, next to Kyneton Secondary College, were unveiled at a community meeting, and are on display at the current school and in main street community information windows. The design features a range of learning spaces catering for all types of learners, including ‘‘quiet spaces’’ for children with special needs. “We’re kind of surfing a wave at the moment,’’ Mr Rayner said. ‘‘We’ve been having a lot of meetings with prospective parents wanting to talk through the plans. The reception’s been fantastic.” Mr Rayner said access-for-all would be a big drawcard of the new school. “When I came on board at the start of term four last year, I was so pleased to find that plans had advanced to the state [they had]. “They had thought about kids’ learning needs, not about teacher’s teaching styles,’’ he said. “We will focus on developing teaching styles to work in those spaces. “Our practices are already changing.” Incorporation of the latest technology won’t come at the expense of “authentic, collaborative conversation”. “Our approach is to put the right kind of device in front of children to, again, suit their learning style,” Mr Rayner said. “It’s about point of need.” Mr Rayner said the school would remain

“emotionally invested” in the town centre from where it began. “We’re not about dumping and running,’’ he said. “We’d love to see it used as some sort of education facility.” The Education Department has the first

option on the historic Baynton Street site once the school shifts at the end of 2017. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the government’s $21.8 million investment in Kyneton’s schools would create an education precinct to set the standard for years to come.

With cold snaps on the way, Western Water is advising customers to cover water meters. ‘‘Every winter … we get phone calls from people with no water due to a frozen meter,’’ customer and community relations general manager Graham Holt said. “It’s no fun having no hot water on a cold morning, so we are urging people to think ahead.”

CAN’T MAKE IT ON ELECTION DAY? If you know you can’t vote on Saturday 2 July, you can vote early. It’s amazing how powerful a piece of paper can be on election day. If you are an Australian citizen aged 18 years or over, you are required by law to vote. So, if you’re unable to make it to a polling place on election day, you can vote early at an early voting centre or apply for a postal vote. You can vote early if you are at work on Saturday 2 July, or will be outside the electorate where you are enrolled. There are other reasons you can vote early – visit www.aec.gov.au/early to find out more.

Your vote will help shape Australia.

Candidate with ‘hiccups’ By Matt Crossman Embattled Liberal candidate Chris Jermyn insists he’s still in with a chance to win one of Australia’s most marginal seats when voters go to the polls on July 2. But his Labor counterpart Rob Mitchell believes it’s clear from the federal government’s actions that the McEwen electorate isn’t a priority. Announcing $150,000 to improve access for people with a disability and to install a permanent public address system at Sunbury Memorial Hall, Mr Jermyn said he was confident voters would see the string of campaign “hiccups” for what they were. ‘‘It’s important we put local issues on the agenda; that’s the big thing here,’’ he said. ‘‘We can play dirty, grubby politics, but frankly I think everyone is sick of that.” Mr Jermyn was firmly in the national media spotlight after he stood outside Sunbury Community Health on May 28 with Corflute signs while Opposition Leader Bill Shorten committed $2 million for a new child health hub. The Liberal candidate later packed up his listening post and stormed off after being unable to articulate his own party’s Medicare policy to reporters. Then, large signs above his Sunbury campaign office had to be pulled down after it was revealed they did not meet Hume council bylaws. Last week, concerns were raised about his involvement in a media development company, which has lost millions of dollars. ‘‘Frankly, they ran out of money,’’ Mr Jermyn said. ‘‘As CEO, I was an employee. I wasn’t on the board … and, I’ll tell you, as a shareholder, I lost more on paper than anyone else.’’

Liberal candidate for McEwen Chris Jermyn and Senator Scott Ryan.

Nine candidates will contest McEwen, including Mr Mitchell, who is the sitting MP, Romsey resident Neil Barker (Greens), The Nationals’ James Anderson and independent Ross Lee. The Australian Country Party, Rise Up Australia, Animal Justice Party and Family First have also entered the field. Mr Mitchell said Mr Jermyn wasn’t wrong when he said he had a chance to take McEwen. “Just like there is every chance that the Turnbull government will be returned … [but]

(Damjan Janevski)

we will have to pay to see the doctor every time, there will be tax cuts for the top end of town at the expense of our kids’ education, and our towns will yet again miss out on vital infrastructure, like mobile black spot fixes and better roads.” Last Tuesday, Senator Scott Ryan joined Mr Jermyn in announcing the Liberal funding for Sunbury Memorial Hall, a week after Labor committed $2 million to a global learning centre there.

Labor backs dementia unit A Gisborne aged care centre has been promised $1.4 million for a new dementia wing to help deal with an anticipated ‘tsunami’ of cases. Two months after attending a dementia forum, Labor’s spokesman on ageing Shayne Neumann returned to Macedon Ranges Health’s Gisborne Oaks aged care home last Wednesday to pledge about half the money needed for a new unit, if the ALP wins government. MRH chief executive Don Tidbury said the announcement, made by Mr Neumann in conjunction with McEwen MP Rob Mitchell, would make an enormous difference to the lives of people living with dementia, if it is fulfilled. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, projections show McEwen will have the state’s second-highest incidence of dementia by 2050, its occurrence tipped to soar by 754.1 per cent. “Over the next 10 years, the number of people living with dementia will more than double in this community and significantly exceed the Victorian average,’’ Mr Tidbury said. Mr Tidbury said MRH would embark on a major community fundraising campaign to add to Labor’s commitment, with about $3 million needed to create a best-practice unit. Mr Neumann and Mr Mitchell attended a forum at the aged care centre in April when carers demanded an immediate response to the crisis facing the area. Matt Crossman

MY PLACE Mosey lead singer Bridie Johnstone tells Matt Crossman that music has always been a central part of her life. (Supplied)

What are your ties to the area? How long have you lived here? I’ve lived in the Macedon Ranges for 16 years, growing up in Woodend and moving to Mount Macedon in my high school years. I’ve been to Woodend Primary School and Braemar College. How did you get your start in music? I’ve been musical since I was born. My parents met playing music together, and have passed it on to me. We’ve always been known as the crazy musical family. Mosey started when I became friends with Jimmy [O’Hare] and Isaac [Trickey], both incredible, amazingly talented musicians. We were all interested in the same types of music, and started catching up more often with our instruments to cover songs we loved. What led to you entering last year’s battle of the bands? We wanted to move away from covers and show the world our original music. Battle of the bands gave us the opportunity to stand on that stage and perform our original music. Knowing we had entered also inspired us to write more of our own songs to show our friends and family.

They’ve known each other for 45 years and lived within five blocks of each other their whole lives. Now, Beverley and Margaret live just five houses apart at Palm Lake Resort in Truganina. “Our lives have always been intertwined,” Beverley says, “so it wasn’t a real surprise to find that Margaret was thinking along the same lines as me; that is, downsizing and moving into a lifestyle resort. “Palm Lake Resort was our first stop on a weekend when we chose to visit five different places. From our first tour of the village, we both felt it had a genuinely friendly vibe. We could easily see ourselves living there, even though it meant Margaret moving from the only home she’s ever known.” The pair put down their deposits on the same day, on homes yet to be constructed. They wanted to be part of the process of seeing their homes being built from the ground up, watching as their dreams became a reality. “Six months after construction started, we both moved in – on the same day! It was great because we could help each other with the move and be each other’s support,” Beverley said.

“ From the first

The renowned Fasham architectural signature is immediately apparent on this 12-year-old house, from its curved roof to its clerestory windows, and a floor plan to maximise light and space. A large lounge room (wood heater), with next-door study, links with a large dining zone, with banks of picture windows and access to a massive, glass-framed observation deck taking in great views. The kitchen has loads of cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, island bench and all mod-cons. Four bedrooms line a long hall, with a bathroom, separate toilet and laundry opposite. The large main bedroom, at the far end, has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with dual basins and tub. Double glazing, automatic blinds, heating, a large shed, garden shed, chook house, tanks, a bore and triple garage are other noteworthies. All on about 10 hectares with gardens of exotics, shrubs and a vegie garden.

Architecturally-designed and craftsman-built, this sophisticated abode of about 60 squares is set around a central courtyard, with wooden walkways, gardens and fishponds. Natural light floods in, and the outdoors is just a few steps away. The white-tiled main living zone includes lounge and dining areas with wood heater, and the kitchen and breakfast alcove have a door to a deck facing the courtyard. A rumpus room/library is out back. The glam kitchen has deep-chocolate cabinetry, white stone benches and European appliances. Three of the four bedrooms, including the huge main, have sleek en suites, and there’s a chic main bathroom. There’s also a study. An indoor heated lap pool has shared access to one of the bathrooms. Double glazing, heating and cooling, motorised blinds and drapes, 7.6kW solar system, a bore and town gas are other features on about 2.023 hectares.

Within an amble of Gisborne Botanical Gardens and slightly further to shops and services, this smartly presented Victorian-style abode has a cracker of an outdoor room as its standout feature. The huge room has a brick-paved floor, wood heater and uncountable multi-paned windows – it’s a quintessential year-round entertainment/relaxation space. Of the three bedrooms, the main has a bay window and walk-in wardrobe, and it shares a spacious bathroom and two separate toilets. Along with a lounge room at the front door, there’s a family-meals area open to the tiled kitchen, which is lined with timber joinery and equipped with an electric four-burner cooktop and a gas, fan-forced wall oven. Heating/ cooling, ceiling fans and awnings provide climate control. Outdoors, there’s a freestanding workshop/studio, shed, water tank, gardens and remote-controlled double garage.

All bright, light and modern, this young house opposite parkland will pique the interest of investors and downsizers – or a family that values its manageable footprint. Large-format tiles line the entrance and flow into the open-plan family, meals and kitchen zone, where neutral wall paint and streamlined roller blinds are the backdrop. The kitchen has white splashback tiles and benchtops, plenty of blond timber-look cupboards, gas cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher. There are three carpeted bedrooms – four if the study is included. The main has walk-through wardrobes and en suite. Gas central heating and a split-system ensure seasonal comfort. Back and side yards have concrete areas and synthetic lawn amid small river stones – no mowing required – and the remote-controlled double garage has direct access into a hallway.

one wall, a chandelier above the dining area, timber-framed multi-paned windows and doors (appearing throughout), and an inset wood heater flanked by wooden shelves. The smallest is a delightful sunroom with floorboards and french doors to the rear deck; another is the tiled meals area abutting the kitchen; and finally, a tiled sitting room with a rustic wood heater. The all-timber kitchen has a stainless-steel cooker and dishwasher, and tree canopy views from the sink.

Of the three rooms with french doors onto the elevated, full-width deck along the back, one is the main bathroom where taking a spa bath can be wide open to the rustle of trees and birdsong: thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wow. Subway wall tiles and a lovely vanity unit with on-trend black tapware add country panache. The toilet is separate. Two of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, while the main has a fitted walk-through and a new, white-on-white en suite with dual vanity basins. Two split-systems and (bottled) gas

ducted heating cater well for Romseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temperature extremes. Grounds are a mix of shady nooks and pretty gardens, while a large cleared area with shelter offers many options. A large dam, a bore and water tanks provide constant water, and a garage/workshop has room for eight cars. All this is just seven minutes by car or 20 by bike to Romsey Primary School and Melbourne Airport is 30 minutes away. Carole Levy 15 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 21, 2016

Local knowledge is so important in Real Estate and buyers need to know about schools, doctors, the supermarket, coffee cof shops, playgroups and all the other services offer of ed in the town in which the buyer is looking. Vendors need to know that their Agent has genuine local knowledge and is involved in the local community. Residents of Romsey, Lancefield and surrounding areas will have seen and been visited by two very “local” agent representatives from our office. Sandy Milne was born in Macedon, lived in Woodend, went to Kyneton High and has now raised his four children in this area. Sandy’s children attended Romsey Primary School and are still very involved in local sporting activities. Sandy’s sister, sister affectionately af known as “Mrs Music” taught my children at Newham Primary School - on yes, Sandy definitely has “local” knowledge and interest. Charlene Krstev has recently joined our team but this is not Charlene’s first venture in Real Estate. In fact, Charlene and I first worked together in Riddells Creek some 19 years ago. Charlene also has a strong attachment to the Macedon Ranges having attended New Gisborne Primary and then Gisborne Secondary. Her parents built in Lancefield when their children left home and Charlene’s children attend school in the local area. Many of you will, at times, have bought your meat at the “Town “T Butcher” in Gisborne and in doing so will have met Charlene’s husband who is the “Town “T Butcher”. Local knowledge and local involvement are so important and Sandy and Charlene certainly fit the bill in both areas. As for me - I am not a local but I have been here for 30 years and I love this area. Call in for a chat and “meet the locals”. • Column supplied by Liz Dormontt.

SPORT Kart star proves his talent on the international stage

Success continues to follow Jordan Ford. (Supplied)

Sunbury’s Jordan Ford shocked himself and the superkart world with a stunning international debut earlier this month. After dominating the 250cc national-class superkart Australian last year, Ford travelled to England for the third and fourth rounds of the European Superkart Championship and the British Superkart Grand Prix. Over one weekend, Ford competed in the 250cc mono-cylinder division, which is being run for the first time this season. After practice ahead of the third round of the championship, Ford quickly realised he wouldn’t just be making up the numbers. He had never raced against any of the drivers before and he told Star Weekly before travelling to England that he was just hoping to be competitive.

“After qualifying it made us set our goals higher straight away,” Ford said on his return. “The aim was to win then. The equipment was second to none and I was able to learn the track quickly.” In a tough battle with British superkart champion Gavin Bennett, Ford won his class in the third round of the European Championship, before engine problems restricted him to fourth place in the fourth round. “I was close to the track record in practice and I went under it in the race,” he said. “Gavin then went under it again, but I was able to win. “I had an engine failure in the second race and finished fourth.” The best was still to come for Ford in the grand prix, when he dominated the race and broke the lap record again.

“There were 45 karts in my class … the best people in the world competing and I was able to come out on top,” he said. Ford said he would now focus on the Australian Championships, with an eye on returning to Europe next year. He won three out of the four races in the opening round of the Australian championship, with engine drama preventing him from starting in the other. He sits second in the championship and is confident he can go back-to-back. “I think there’s an expectation to defend the title next year,” Ford said of returning to Europe. “If I can maintain the sponsors, maybe I can do the whole European championships.” Tara Murray

Cats chase lofty heights By Tara Murray Despite an 87-goal win at the weekend, Macedon knows it still has plenty of scope for improvement in the Riddell District Netball League. The Cats, who have only lost to ladder leaders Rupertswood this season, put on a show against an undermanned Sunbury Kangaroos. Scoring at least 23 goals in each quarter, the Cats passed the 100-goal mark to win 107-20. Cats coach Ciara Stewart said she wasn’t 100 per cent happy with how her side played against the Kangaroos. “The first quarter we weren’t overly happy with,” she said. “Once we pulled our finger out, we tried new things. “We were missing one of our permanent players, and with school holidays coming up we’ll be missing a lot of players, so we were trying different combinations.” Tara Burnip was one player who used the extra court time to her advantage, her height under the ring proving difficult for the Kangaroos. Stewart said it was about getting Burnip adjusted to playing in the A-grade side. “Tara is the newbie out there and a game like today is the perfect time to give her a crack,” Stewart said. “The physical nature of the game is what she needs to work on. She’ll learn and develop.” In the previous game, Burnip played a quarter against Lancefield after a 63-goal game the week before. Stewart said that while the Cats had been winning, they weren’t at the level she wanted. “We still haven’t had a game which we have been happy with,” she said. “We haven’t had a full hour and looked back at it as a good game. Against Lancefield we won by 13, but it felt like two goals. “We haven’t found connections. We are winning and playing reasonably well and there’s better to come. “You don’t know which players you are coming up against due to Victorian Netball League.” The Cats this week face Riddell, which should have a full squad from which to choose, given this round’s VNL games take place mid-week. Stewart said she thought the Cats would also have a full list from which to choose, with player unavailability likely to affect subsequent matches against Diggers Rest and Romsey. “It’ll give us our bench mark,” she said of the Riddell match. “It’s going to be an interesting game. ” Rupertswood, Riddell, Romsey and Melton Centrals were the other winners at the weekend.

Nelson gets thumbs up When the opportunity came up to coach Sunbury Cricket Club, Justin Nelson’s hand went up. Nelson, who joined Sunbury last season, had previously spent three years as captain-coach of Victorian Turf Cricket Association club Flemington. “I’ve always had that passion to coach, and last year was the first time I hadn’t done it in a while,” Nelson said last week. “So when the opportunity came up, I jumped at it.” The club announced earlier this month that Nelson would take on the coaching role, with Jason McGann as captain. It was a tough opening season at Sunbury for Nelson, who only played six games due to a broken finger. He averaged 13 with the bat and took five wickets. Nelson was part of the GDCA side that won the premier division at Bendigo Country week. Before coming to Sunbury, he played for more than 10 years at Flemington, and in England. His signing as coach kicks off what will be an exciting year for Sunbury, which has new club rooms due to be finished before the season starts. Nelson is hoping for a return to the finals after Sunbury finished seventh last year in the McIntyre Cup. “I’ve always placed a big emphasis on developing the young players,” he said. “We’ve managed to hold onto every senior player from last season, and we’re talking to potential recruits.” Macedon’s Tara Burnip proves too strong and tall in attack for Sunbury.

Early lead sets Jets up for top eight Sunbury Jets cemented their spot in the top eight after a hard-fought win over Melton Thoroughbreds in Big V men’s division 1 on Sunday. Against a side coming off six straight wins, the Jets were challenged from the first whistle but managed to hold off every time the Thoroughbreds got within a basket to win 75-66. The two sides went goal-for-goal in the first quarter. The Jets led by one point at quarter-time, and extended the margin out to as much as eight points late in the second quarter, before a three-pointer from former Jets player Billy Feben reduced the margin to five at the main break. Scores were level half-way through the third quarter, before the Jets opened the margin back up to six points at the final break.

The Thoroughbreds got within two points late in the final quarter, but that was as close as they came. With the Thoroughbreds trying to stop the clock, the Jets were sent to the foul line frequently in the dying minutes and the margin blew out to nine points. Mitchell Newton, who top-scored with 25 points, was impressive at both ends of the court, pulling down a massive 25 rebounds, including 17 defensive rebounds. Ish Sanders chipped in with 24 points. Meanwhile, it was a big win for the Jets’ undefeated women’s side over fourth-placed Latrobe City. The Jets jumped out of the blocks in the first half and opened up a 14-point lead at half-time. It was a more even third quarter, but the Jets extended the lead to 17 points at the main

break. As it’s done many times this season, the Jets finished the game off in fine fashion, winning 90-64. Courtney Duever led the way on the scoreboard with 27 points. She is averaging 19 points per game this season. , Four players scored double figures for the Jets, including Jess Bygate who returned to the side after being part of the New Zealand national team program. Bygate came off the bench and scored 15 points for the Jets. The New Zealand national team, the Tall Ferns, failed to qualify for the Olympics so coach Kennedy Kereama, who is also the Jets’ coach, will be back for the last part of the regular Big V season and finals.

Roos rue many misses By Tara Murray Fast-starting Macedon continued its unbeaten run with a hard-fought win over Sunbury Kangaroos in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday. The Cats were in control for most of the match and held on for a 14.6 (90)-9.16 (70) win after the Kangaroos surged in the final 10 minutes. Macedon kicked six goals to none in the opening quarter, but it was a more even second term when the Kangaroos missed shots that would have put them back in the game. The Cats got the margin out to 50 points in the third before the Kangaroos kicked a late goal to go to three-quarter time trailing by 44. The Kangaroos didn’t drop their heads and began playing their best football of the game in the final term, kicking four goals to halve Macedon’s lead. They had chances to reduce the margin even further but couldn’t convert in front of goal. For Cats coach Jeff Andrews it was a difficult last few minutes. “You don’t know how long there is to go and I was very nervous,” he said. “We had to put one behind the ball just to make sure. “Darren Goodwin did a really good job at that and saved a couple of their forays forward that may have given them the extra goal to get a real sniff. “They had their chances. We kicked straight and they didn’t … that was probably the difference in the game.” Matthew Knox kicked four goals for the Cats to be the leading goalscorer, while ruckman Tom Waters was adjudged best on ground. The Cats’ win came without star midfielder Jason Cooke and captain James Wright. Andrews said Cooke would return next week, but Wright, who was a waterboy on Saturday, would still miss a couple more weeks. Teghan Henderson left the ground late on Saturday, but Andrews said he should be right for next week. “He came off in the last quarter and we couldn’t put him back on and it helped them,” he said. “It was just a tight spot and, with a lead, we didn’t want to risk him.” The Cats face a tough fortnight ahead with matches against Riddell and Diggers Rest. “We’re sitting 8-0, as are Diggers,” Andrews said. “I think there’s a three-way go at the top of the ladder and I rate Riddell as highly as I rate Diggers. “It’s good to be in the spot we are in, and it starts now.” Diggers Rest, Broadford, Rupertswood, Riddell and Romsey were the other weekend winners.

Thunder coach to kick on East Sunbury has reappointed Steve Grey as senior coach for next season. The club announced on Thursday that Grey, in his second season with the Essendon District Football League division 2 club, will stay on next year. Thunder football manager Mark Hourigan said Easts wanted to continue the development they had made under Grey’s coaching. “We’re trying to get the foundations right at the club and build on what we’ve already done,” he said. “We’re heading in the right direction with Steve … there’s been a lot of hard work over the past two years. Now we can concentrate on the season ahead.” On Saturday, the Thunder’s three-game winning streak came to an end against East Keilor. After leading at half-time, Thunder could manage only four goals in the second half, losing 13.11 (89)-7.8 (50). Thomas Galea was the only multiple goal-kicker, with two, while Lachlan Brne and David Johnson were named best in a loss that pegs Thunder at fifth on the ladder, two games outside the top four.

Gisborne puts on a late show Gisborne came from behind against South Bendigo to record its second win of the Bendigo Football League season on Saturday. The Bulldogs began slowly, kicking just two goals in the first half to be 25 points down at the main break. They reduced the margin to 15 at the last change before kicking four goals to one in the final quarter to win 9.7 (61)-8.10 (58). Riley Patterson, Jake Conolan and Bryce Williamson kicked two goals apiece for the Dogs, with Patterson and Ollie Messaoudi judged best on ground. On Sunday, against ladder leader Strathfieldsaye, Kyneton suffered its fourth loss of the season. Less than two goals separated the sides at half-time, but the Storm broke the match open with nine goals to two in the third term. The Tigers won the final quarter, but it wasn’t enough with the Storm home by 16.12 (108)-10.11 (71). Mitch Scholard kicked four goals for the Tigers with Ben Weightman (two) the only other multiple goalscorer. The Tigers remain fifth on the ladder, well clear of sixth place on percentage.
