Colourful run defines quest
(Joe Mastroianni)
Sunbury student Abbey Tiernan is not far off the next milestone in her Rovers journey. The 21-year-old has been working on her endurance for the past six months to compete in the Sportsgirl Color Run in Melbourne on November 27. Abbey decided to tackle the Colour Run to pass her physical test for a Baden Powell award for her Hanging Rock Rovers and Scouts crew. It’s been a four-year quest for Abbey to collect three of the six badges required for the award – the highest achievement for a Rover. “For my physical badge, I had to undertake a physical journey doing something that would challenge me,” she said. “This is the first time I’ve ever done the Colour Run … I’ve walked three kilometres a day, so I can work my way up to my five-kilometre goal.” For details about the Colour Run or to join in, go to www.thecolorrun.com.au Esther Lauaki
College permit questioned By Esther Lauaki Plans for Braemar College’s multi-million dollar middle school expansion near Woodend have been approved without reference to the local community. Macedon Ranges council officers approved the school’s second campus for years 5-8 students, on 130 hectares along the Romsey Road on September 20 – when the council was in caretaker mode in the lead-up to October’s local government elections. Macedon Ranges Residents Association secretary Christine Pruneau said the news would come as a surprise for many who originally opposed the development.
“This is big news for the school and big news for the town,” Ms Pruneau said. “One has to ask the question of why a project of this significance and of this scale was not first brought to a council meeting and put out for public comment.” Original plans to build on land at Woodend’s Villawood estate on Davies Hill sparked a public backlash in 2011. However, council’s planning and environment director Sophie Segafredo said the more recent proposal was on “the councillor list” on August 26, but was not “called-in” by councillors for consideration at the meeting. Nor was it listed on the public agenda for this last meeting of the old council.
“The normal business of council continues during caretaker mode, including the issuing of permits granted under delegation,” Ms Segafredo said. “As there were no objections and no councillor call-ins for consideration … this application was granted under delegated authority as per normal practice.” She said the permit cannot now be reconsidered by the council. Braemar principal Russell Deer said planning approval was “the culmination of nearly 20 years of dreaming, exploring and discussion”. He said the college needed a second campus to mitigate fire risk because its present location is surrounded by bushland.
“The college will be operating across both sites. However, the options for curriculum expansion, the steps towards reaching our vision of being an early learning to Year 12 College and the ability to mitigate our fire risk are all enabled by that planning permit.” He said works on the new Woodend campus will start in 2018. Mr Deer said the college would work with the Macedon Ranges council and community to plan and develop it. “The new location is just down the hill from the current campus, allowing for close interaction between the two sites. “The college is mindful of the requirement to maintain its character as a friendly and community centred school.”

Airport ‘too noisy’ for school By Laura Michell Plans for a $40 million Islamic school at Oaklands Junction have been rejected by the state’s planning tribunal. Ozzi Trade Pty Ltd took its application for a primary school at 200 Wildwood Road to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) last month after its plans were knocked back by Hume council in April. It had proposed a school catering for up to 600 pupils and 35 staff, with seven learning-community buildings,
an administrative office, a library and multi-purpose building, gymnasium, canteen, sports ovals and a grey water treatment plant on 17.1 hectares of farmland about four kilometres from the airport. Hume council received more than 40 objections to the proposal, including one from Melbourne Airport, which was concerned about the impact on airport operations. Council rejected the application, citing traffic, the potential over-development of the farmland site and the proximity to flight paths. The council’s decision was upheld by VCAT on
‘‘
We find this to be a worthy proposal in an - VCAT unsuitable location
’’
November 10, with senior member Margaret Baird and member Cindy Wilson finding that while there was a need for an Islamic school in the region, the location was “unsuitable”. The VCAT members raised concerns about the impact of the school on ongoing and future operations of Melbourne Airport.
“The proposed school would bring more than 700 children and staff into an environment that will be increasingly impacted by noise associated with the operation of Melbourne Airport,” they said. “The airport is a critical piece of infrastructure … to be protected from incompatible land uses. “We find that establishing a large noise-sensitive primary school and early learning centre on land … that will be increasingly exposed to significant levels of aircraft noise, is unacceptable … we find this to be a worthy proposal in an unsuitable location.”

Throughout December, January and February, Hanging Rock Reserve will stay open until 8pm on Thursdays and Fridays, giving visitors the chance to linger longer at the famous landmark. Chief executive Peter Johnston said he hoped
More than $6 million from the state government’s Growing Suburbs Fund will be spent on community centres and reserves in Hume. The council will receive $2 million for Aston Recreation Reserve’s development in Craigieburn, allowing construction of a pavilion, playground and cricket practice facilities, and installation of lighting in the Aston estate. The state government will also contribute $3 million to the Sunbury Global Learning Centre, to be built on a site next to the Sunbury library on Macedon Street. Construction is expected to start next year. Hume mayor Drew Jessop said the funding would create a centre enabling people to learn throughout their lives, whether they were a child fascinated by dinosaurs, a mum wanting to change careers or a grandfather keen to master social media. The government has allocated $230,000 to improve accessibility of community centres in Bulla, Gladstone Park, Meadow Heights and Campbellfield, while $490,000 will be used to upgrade Sunbury’s Boardman Reserve. Sunbury Lawn Tennis Club will get $400,000 to replace its ageing club house. Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said the $50 million Growing Suburbs Fund was providing communities in fast-growing areas with the local infrastructure they needed. She said funding had been allocated based on needs identified by councils acting with Yuroke MP Ros Spence, Sunbury MP Josh Bull and Broadmeadows MP Frank McGuire. The fund is in its second year.

New mayor promises ‘difference’ Macedon Ranges councillors elected Jennifer Anderson as mayor at a special meeting last week. The returning councillor was first elected in 2012 for the shire’s West ward, which includes Kyneton, Woodend, Malmsbury and Tylden, Lauriston, Ashbourne, Spring Hill and parts of east Trentham. Her previous experience as mayor in 2014-15 paved the way for her return to lead a new group of councillors elected after last month’s
poll – the new line-up consists of six first-time councillors and three returned councillors. “I’ve been mayor before, and it’s a great honour to see this group allow me to take them through their first 12 months,” Cr Anderson told the gallery last Wednesday. “The mayor is only one of nine people who all work together for this community. “I hope that people see a difference in this council … [some] may not always like our decisions, but it’s all about making sure that we are doing everything we can for the good of this community.”
Cr Anderson said the Macedon Ranges Settlement Strategy consultation process in 2011-12 had made her realise the importance of community consultation in council. “I have spent the last four years coming to grips with how council works, and how to achieve the best results for the people,” she said. Cr Anderson is a general medical practitioner, chairs the peri-urban group of rural councils and serves on the mayors’ ministerial advisory panel. Councillors voted not to elect a deputy mayor, and instead will share the role, as needed.

Get on board this season Residents can get the inside story on how Malmsbury Fire Brigade is getting people ready for the coming hot months at this weekend’s fire station open day. Lieutenant Georgie Gretton says two seminars will outline how the season is likely to pan out and how residents can prepare. “We’ve planned the day to be family friendly, so we will have supervised activities running for the kids, while there are sessions for the grown-ups,” Lieutenant Gretton says. Malmsbury captain Tony Stephens will use the Phoenix Rapid Fire program to mimic different fire scenarios around Malmsbury, Taradale and Lauriston, showing residents how a fire may travel around the area under different wind and landscape conditions. The program uses information, such as topography, fuel loads, curing, and weather conditions to plot the course of a fire on any given day.
“We’ve plotted potential fire scenarios … Tony will also talk about what this fire season has in store for us, and what residents can do to prepare,” Lieutenant Gretton says. Jenna Kelley, of the Walking Forward disaster relief team, will explain the National Equine Database, set up to link people to a network that relocates horses and companion animals to safer places before extreme weather or fire events. A free community barbecue will give people the chance to ask questions, meet volunteers or even join up. Sunday, 10am–2pm.

Kids in stampede for courts Sunbury Primary School kids proved they were all good sports – jumping through hoops, swinging on chains and bouncing on trampolines – for a good cause. They even ran a stampede last Monday, all to raise money to resurface their basketball courts. Parents and Friends Association secretary Melody Leviston says the children were involved in planning the stampede – a long obstacle course through the playground with stations made up of sports equipment. “We’re challenging the children to incorporate what they had learned in the school’s perceptual motor program,” Ms Leviston says. “This is where they learn all about their body, balancing and spacial awareness. It was a fun way to get the kids active and raise some money through sponsorship for the school.” Esther Lauaki

Emergency response improves By Esther Lauaki
Trek puts pain in perspective The Tour de Cure was a ride to remember for Brendan Dennis. The Sunbury resident says he thought about his late aunt, who died from cancer, as well as all cancer survivors, including his mother and mother-in-law, as he made the three-day journey across Victoria last week. Tour de Cure and Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation are behind a ground-breaking kids’ immuno-oncology research program at Peter Mac, and the 50 riders who participated in this year’s ride aimed to raise about $550,000 to make the program a reality. Mr Dennis completed the 375 kilometre trek across Victoria. “I’ve been involved with the Tour de Cure since 2010 as a support person, but this was the first time I’ve done the ride myself.” He said while riding for three days was physically and mentally tough, cancer patients suffer on a daily basis. “There are more people dying in country Victoria from cancer because they just don’t have access to the proper screening and treatment,” he said. Mr Dennis set a personal goal of raising $4500. Donations: www.tourdecure.com.au – search for Brendan.

Ambulances are responding to code one emergencies in the Macedon Ranges faster this year than last. The latest Ambulance Victoria response time data released this month showed that 76.6 per cent of code one incidents were responded to within 15 minutes – an improvement of two per cent on last year. Ambulance response times in Macedon Ranges shire continue to improve; the average response time of 14 minutes 48 seconds in the September quarter a significant improvement on the 15 minute 28 seconds response of a year earlier. Ambulances attended 59 per cent of calls within the benchmark 15 minutes – up from 57.6 per cent in the September 2015 quarter. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the improved response times come despite record demand for ambulances and more critical incidents for emergency departments. “With ambulance response times now the best they have been in five years, this shows what can be achieved by working together with our paramedics,” Ms Thomas said. “Macedon patients experiencing life-threatening conditions can have every confidence they will receive faster responses from paramedics today … despite growing demand for ambulances.” Overall, Victoria’s ambulance response times are the fastest they have been in five years. The Andrews government has injected a massive $144 million into the sector to ensure more patients receive the emergency ambulance care they need sooner.

The dilapidated footbridge in Malmsbury Botanic Gardens is on its way out and a replacement bridge is on its way. Council met with the Friends of Malmsbury Gardens last week to discuss design and funding of a new footbridge, which is the access across the ornamental lake to the man-made island and fountain at its centre. The fountain was built in the 1930s from bluestone salvaged from a nearby demolished mill. Both the fountain and lake edges have been restored in recent years.

GREY MEDALLION LIFESAVERS GRADUATE TONY KILEY
New force in the water You’re never too old to learn how to be safe in the water – just ask the newest graduates of Hume’s Active Ageing Grey Medallion program. Adults over the age of 65 feature prominently in the statistics for drowning and near-drowning incidents in Victoria. To help curb this trend, Life Saving Victoria and Hume council have set up the Grey Medallion program at Sunbury Aquatic and Leisure Centre over the past six weeks. The Royal Life Saving Society Australia program targets the ‘grey power’ of people
aged 60 and more, teaching water safety and lifesaving skills. Last week, 26 participants completed their final session, and were presented certificates and medallions by Hume mayor Drew Jessop. “People who swim and know what to do in an emergency can not only save their own life, but save the lives of others,” Cr Jessop said. “Swimming is a vital skill to have. We strongly recommend all children and adults learn and practice this.” Esther Lauaki
Cobaw Community Health chief executive Margaret McDonald has slammed any dilution to Australia’s Anti-Discrimination Act that would mean specific groups did not have to comply. Ms McDonald said the rights and liberties of all individuals are absolute. “Despite substantial social reform and legislative change, we know that as a result of ongoing discrimination and exclusion, the LGBTIQ community are over-represented in mental health data,” she said. “We also hold firm the fact that equality before the law is a fundamental human right and not a matter of public opinion. For these reasons Cobaw supports marriage equality and opposes any dilution to the Anti-Discrimination Act.” FOR BREAKING NEWS, VISIT Web: starweekly.com.au Sunbury & Macedon Ranges Star Weekly @star_weekly

Planning for Sunbury’s future
Collectively, these plans will make provision for:
Like much of Victoria, Sunbury’s population is growing. It is important that this growth occurs in a coordinated way and with a plan in place. We are planning for better roads and public transport, community facilities and parkland. This week the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) will release Precinct Structure Plan and the Sunbury South Precinct Structure Plan. We want your feedback. With growth comes opportunities – but also pressure on infrastructure – which is why the plans being proposed will raise over $800 million to help fund infrastructure improvements over the next 30+ years. This will include two new road crossings across Jacksons Creek, recreational trails, new community centres, local parks and sporting facilities.
As Sunbury grows, it is intended that the majority of residents will be able to have all of their employment, leisure and family needs met locally. The area’s unique topography and heritage will also be protected and celebrated.
•
Around 20,000 new homes over 30 years plus at least 6,000 new jobs
•
The completion of a ring road around Sunbury (as an extension to Elizabeth Drive)
It is essential that we strike the right balance between growth and liveability, and that’s why we need to hear your thoughts on our plan to help Sunbury thrive.
•
Two new road crossings of Jacksons Creek
•
New community, shopping and entertainment facilities
To learn more, the VPA invites you to the following two drop-in sessions that both include a formal presentation at 7pm:
•
Two new job hubs on Sunbury and Vineyard roads
•
A network of recreational trails along Jacksons Creek
•
Two new train stations with plenty of additional parking

MY PLACE Nurse and midwife Janet Pearce is a familiar face around Kyneton hospital. The first-time councillor spoke to Esther Lauaki about her many other interests.
How long have you lived in the area? I’ve lived here for 16 years. Our three children have grown up in the Macedon Ranges – from playgroup through to high school. We all participate in local community clubs and activities. What community work are you involved in? Volunteering is very important to me. My first significant involvement with the local community was in 2001, with the successful Macedon Ranges Natural Gas Alliance Action Group. I have since volunteered on the playgroup, toy library and Woodend Netball Club committees, and was chairperson of the Woodend Neighbourhood House for many years. I have just finished assisting for the third year on the committee for the Macedon Ranges Suicide Prevention Action Group’s Lifeline Out of the Shadows walk, uniting those who have lost loved ones to suicide and supporting those who live with mental ill-health. I am working with a group supporting the Lifeline – Out of the Shadows into the Light walk. In 2013, l assisted in developing the Woodend Connections
Tell us about work at Kyneton District Health. I have been a nurse for more than 30 years, and worked in London for many years in emergency. I am also a midwife … had life-changing experiences in Rwanda in 1994 and in Tanzania in 1995, working with Medecins Sans Frontieres. I worked in many hospitals around Melbourne, and when we lived in the Netherlands. When we settled in Woodend, I started work at the old bluestone hospital in Kyneton, which was such an extreme change from a huge, modern hospital to a small old hospital. Working at Kyneton I see, hear and talk about what is happening in people’s lives and what is important to local people. What do you love about Woodend? Living here with my family. The people, community, connections, support, a safe place. The unique environment, the nature, the country, the wildlife and towns. Both blend together, yet we are so close to Melbourne. What would you change, if you could? More support for community volunteers and groups. Harness the ideas, energy and strength.
A Sunbury specialist that is really in the zzzone when it comes to sleeping right For 10 years, Sue Glavan managed Dreamzone in Sunbury as if she owned it. Sue was committed to the factory-direct bedding store’s success in all ways – long before she became the true owner a little more than two years ago and renamed the store DreamZzz Luxury Bedding. “I know the business inside out so I knew I could take it on,” Sue says. “I also have faith in our product and the level of quality we provide – for so many different kinds of customers. “I’ve been a local for 32 years now and putting back into the local community and neighbouring towns is a high priority of DreamZzz, and one we take a lot of pride in. “We’re still like an ‘old school’ country store when it comes to service.”
(Damjan Janevski)
I met my husband, Jacques de Groot, more than 20 years ago when we were both working for Medecins Sans Frontieres in Africa. When we came to live in Victoria, we wanted to raise our family here, and we were looking for a regional area in close proximity to Melbourne. We visited quite a few areas and Woodend stood out.
Volunteer Network. In the same year, I received a grant and completed the year-long Loddon Murray community leadership program, which focused on developing vibrant and sustainable communities. I went to my first community consultation in Woodend with a friend in 2004, and there were only four people present. Things are definitely changing here.
“Looking after customers’ needs is rewarding, especially when you know you can provide them with a mattress to help not just with a good night’s sleep, but with all kinds of issues – medical and general health to the purely recreational.” The store stocks a large range of Australian-made mattresses, bases and bedheads, along with pillows, toppers and protectors. DreamZzz offers custom-made mattresses that are perfect for customers with out-of-the-ordinary needs. Sue and her staff also specialise in fitting out caravans, campers and trucks, as well as supplying hotels and motels.
Trains can come from either direction at any time. Always obey the warning signs at level crossings and take care around trains.

Macedon Ranges council is kicking goals compared to similar shires around Victoria. Only 2.65 per cent of council decisions in 2015-16 were made at meetings closed to the public, the latest comparisons on the Know Your Council website reveals. This was significantly lower than for others in its category, which averaged 12.71 per cent, while statewide, the council average was 11.57 per cent. Satisfaction with Macedon Ranges’ community consultation and engagement was on par with others. The Know Your Council website launched last year and provides a snapshot of how councils work and the range of services provided. Council chief executive Peter Johnston said Macedon Ranges ranked highly in such areas as libraries, aquatic centres, animal management, governance, home and community care, maternal and child health, roads and financial performance. “Patronage levels indicate our residents highly value our facilities,” Mr Johnston said. The average residential rate per property was $1911.80, similar to those of other large rural councils with extensive road networks, such as Surf Coast ($2104.52) and Mitchell ($1805.45). However, average fees for services per head of population were much lower than the average for other Victorian councils. www.knowyourcouncil.vic.gov.au
From 4 December 2016, we’re improving bus timetables and bringing you more services during peak periods.

The Gisborne and Kyneton Station upgrades are part of the Victoria Government’s $20 million commitment to fund additional parking spaces at 16 stations on railway lines experiencing high growth in passenger numbers.

When it’s time for a peace treaty with you Turning 60 is a big milestone and, for women, it can also be a time for self-reflection. Cynthia Barnett, EdD, a retirement specialist, says: “You begin thinking about your purpose in life, about finding what makes you happy and fulfilled. You may be ready for something new, work you love to do. “It’s a time when women need to seriously take stock of their lifestyle habits and make some changes.” There’s heaps of information about taking care of physical health but the 60s can also be a challenging time to maintain emotional and mental health. It’s often an age when marriage problems, work challenges or dealing with family issues are quite stressful. And it’s also when you find your body doesn’t withstand abuse as it did when younger, and health issues may arise. Here are some pointers from Barnett to staying on a mentally healthy track in your 60s: • Set aside quiet time every morning. Meditate, pray, visualise your day. Read something that inspires you. Focus on self-renewal.
• Have fun. Go bungee jumping, rock climbing, backpacking, skiing or dancing – whatever makes you happy. Act like you feel and you’ll feel youthful.
• Be optimistic. Take time to understand what you want out of life. Find purpose and meaning. Then spread the joy to others.
• Find a creative outlet. This helps prevent depression, which affects memory, and helps stimulate your mind. Take up painting. Create a wonderful garden. Engaging your creativity stimulates your brain more than reading, and certainly more than TV.
• Take up yoga. Yoga is great for both mind and body. It is great stretching exercise and enhances flexibility. Flexibility gives encourages better balance that helps avoid falls fractures.
• Make your home an oasis. Eliminate clutter. Fill your home with great music, books and friends. Withdraw and recharge when you need to.
PALM LAKE RESORT TRUGANINA LIVE THE LIFESTYLE YOU DESERVE
• Associate with positive people. They will not drain your valuable energy with complaints. They will help you pursue the best that life has to offer. The 60s can be the perfect time to carve out time for yourself and to set the course for the rest of your life. Keep a sharp eye on your physical health, but also take time to smell the roses. And if roses aren’t in your “garden” – plant them. Carole Levy

Amid magnificent gardens on land of about 16.6 hectares, this wonderful stone house takes in panoramas of the Kerrie Valley and has top-notch outdoor entertainment cred. The long, sealed driveway (with lighting and automated gates), lined with rhodies, camellias, silver birches and spruces, is a fitting introduction to the sprawling residence, which has a separate summer house next to a tennis court. There are three bedrooms, two with wardrobes, while the main has a lavish en suite and walk-in wardrobe. A grand entry foyer has double doors to an L-shaped family-meals and kitchen area (with fireplace and gorgeous conservatory-style window); and the same to a carpeted lounge room with timber vaulted ceiling and two sets of french doors to outdoors. A detached guest house with bathroom is a bonus. There’s underfloor ducted and hydronic heating, and a triple garage.
Graced with views of Mount Macedon, this large house has been finished with a keen eye for detail. The interiors combine fresh white walls with warm Victorian ash timber floors to give a “homey” feel. Various living spaces include an extended open-plan lounge room with gas log heater and study nook. The upstairs rumpus room has balcony access; the stone and timber kitchen has new stainless-steel appliances; and three of the four double bedrooms share access to the main bathroom with freestanding bath, floating vanity unit and shower. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, en suite and a ladder to an attic loft. Outside there’s a timber deck with salt spa and remote-controlled triple garage with home office, workshop, mezzanine and drive-through access. Other features include double-glazed windows, water tanks, solar panels and security cameras.

On about 16.2 hectares – 4.05 of which are cleared, with land suitable for grazing – this bush-retreat house constructed of western red cedar is in a peaceful setting, 15 minutes out of town. About 30 squares includes four large bedrooms, the main with walk-through wardrobes and full en suite. A carpeted, spacious lounge room has a wood heater, and a family-meals area adjoins the all-electric kitchen. There’s also a study/hobby room and rumpus area. Verandahs front and back are relaxation hotspots, and a rustic pergola, 70,000 litres of tank water, storage sheds, hayshed with concrete floor, and a chook run are outdoor perks. A triple-bay shed, double carport and double garage more than cater for vehicles. The property is within about 50 minutes of Melbourne Airport.
Tucked into a hillside and hugged by lovely bushland with ferny understorey, this spacious solid-brick house on about 4.04 hectares – known as Misty Acres – takes in panoramic views of Gisborne, the You Yangs and Geelong. There are five good-sized bedrooms, one minus a wardrobe making it ideal as a study. The large main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. Centreing four open-plan living zones (one with wood heater), the spacious kitchen has stacks of timber cupboards, a garden window behind the sink, an island bench and the full suite of stainless-steel appliances. Slab heating and double-glazed windows keep winters down to a dull roar, and there’s a studio/office between a double garage and double carport with toilet. An integrated double garage has direct access to the dining zone.

MACEDON 15 Grandview Avenue, 3440 4
Gisborne Real Estate: 5428 8895 Price: $699,000 Private sale While this house has a relatively small footprint, there are four bedrooms – and it sits on about 0.47 hectares (4700 square metres), has three street frontages and lavish gardens that typify this part of the Macedon Ranges. Hidden behind photinia hedges, entry is via a small foyer with polished floorboards that continue under a right hand-side archway into a dining room – which could also serve as a study. A carpeted lounge room opposite has a fireplace framed with a marble mantelpiece, and etched-glass bifolds to the family, meals and kitchen
zone, where there is cork flooring and elegant drapes under fabric pelmets. The compact galley kitchen has cream cabinetry, soft-green mottled laminate, an underbench electric oven, ceramic electric cooktop and dishwasher. The laundry, off the family room, has a closet and opens to a west-facing, partially covered paved pergola, the area beautified with ferns and bamboo, and a backdrop of the aforesaid photinia. The four bedrooms run down a hallway (with courtyard access) along the back of the house. They share an updated
bathroom (en suite to the main), which has a clawfoot tub and shower in an attractively tiled section, and an adjoining powder room with raised bowl-basin and mosaic-tiled splashback. All have built-in wardrobes. A split-system, wood heater and underfloor ducted heating (LPG gas) take care of climate control. The aforementioned (paved) courtyard is outside the family room; it has steps down to gardens with rock-edged walkways meandering past rhodies, camellias, cottage blooms and towering eucalypts. Out back, gardens become park-like,

35 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 22, 2016
SPORT Dragons apply the heat By Tara Murray Gisborne produced its best form of the season against Riddell to take first innings points on day one of their Gisborne and District Cricket Association McIntyre Cup match. The opening spells of acting captain Jay King and Darcy Nolan destroyed the Bombers’ top order, leaving them scrambling at 6-26. A mid-order fightback by Matthew Darby (39) and Cameron Moran (42) was short-lived, and once Darby went the Bombers quickly succumbed for a modest 117, appearing set for another loss. Dragons coach Simon Harman said the first hour of play was their best all season. “It was as good as it could get. “The rub of the green went our way, with edges going to hand and the catches taken. “We let them off the hook a little with the partnership in mid-innings, which was disappointing, but if you asked me at the start of the day, we would have taken 117.” Nolan finished with four wickets, Clinton Young with three and King with two. Keen to wrap up first innings points on day one, the Dragons struggled early, slipping to 3-21 before recovering to 4-134 at stumps. “Riddell’s bowlers didn’t get their tails up [after getting early wickets],” Harman said. “A couple of young guys in the middle order batted with steel to get us back on track.” Jason Williams made 45, while Jakson Knight will resume on 66 not out. Harman said they would look at batting for as long as possible on day two to deny the Bombers any chance of an outright result. “Our batsmen from five down haven’t had a lot of time in the middle so it’ll be good for them to have that time. “We’ll be happy to leave them not many overs to bat twice.” Saturday’s performance was a return to form for the Dragons, who lost their previous two matches. The side has had several changes each week due to players’ unavailability. “Looking forward, we’ll be closer to our full side,” the coach said. “Anyone on any day can beat anyone. We’re just trying to make finals and go from there.” It was a day for the bowlers in the McIntyre Cup with only one side posting a score above 160. A 91 from Woodend’s Warren Else set up his side’s 9-286 against Rupertswood. Sunbury is in trouble at 4-43 chasing Romsey’s 139, while Bacchus Marsh is 1-18 against Diggers Rest Bulla.
Football
The Sunbury Lions are looking for girls and women of all ages to join their women’s football program next season. The Lions are looking to field a women’s side, along with under-18s, under-15s and – for the first time – under-12s. The club’s senior side this year played finals in the Victorian Women’s Football League’s division 3, while the under-18s finished runners-up in the Western Youth Girls Competition. The Lions, who are yet to decide where they will play next season, will host a come-and-try night on Tuesday, November 22, from 6.30pm at Eric Boardman Reserve. Details: Krystie, 0408 557 159
Cricket
A century by Ryan Dobbie set up St Anthony’s 244 against Sunbury United on Saturday in Gisborne and District Cricket Association B-grade action. United’s James Hughes was the best of the bowlers, taking 4-44 off 20 overs. Macedon made 211 against Wallan and Bacchus Marsh posted 262 against East Sunbury. Lancefield set Ashfield 7-247 in their match. Alan Sinclair top-scored for the Tigers with 67 not out. Ashfield skipper Ryan Pretty took 4-90.
Bowls
Sunbury has made it two wins in a row in Bowls Victoria Pennant division 1, section 1. For the first time this year, Sunbury won more than a single rink as it beat Essendon (2) 74 (16)-70 (2). Brad Janner got his first win of the season (19-18), Mark Cowan’s rink won 17-12 and Elise Cowan’s rink won 27-19. Sunbury moves to seventh on the ladder, 20 points behind fourth-placed Melton.
Cricket
The Gisborne and District Cricket Association’s Kookaburra T20 Shield starts on Tuesday, November 22. The McIntyre Cup sides will play in the premier division, while all other sides will play in the district division. Reigning premier winner Riddell will kick off the competition against Woodend, while last year’s district division winner, Ashfield, will play East Sunbury.

Gisborne eyes its Kyneton Golf nemesis Gisborne’s unbeaten start in Central Highlands Bowls Division continued after they doubled Trentham’s score on Saturday. In one of the most comprehensive performances of the division 1 season so far, Gisborne won all four rinks by at least eight shots, on the way to a 135 (18)-66 (0) win. Glenn Johnston Jnr’s rink had the biggest win of the day, by 32 shots, 38-6. Johnston Jnr is the leading skip in division 1 after six rounds, having won all five of his completed matches. Johnston Jnr said the start to the season would hopefully set up the rest of the season. Gisborne was runners-up last season to Kyneton Golf. “It has been an absolutely fantastic start,” he said. “We knew we had to find an extra little bit and we got some new players in. Last season is some motivation to go further. “We knew we had to improve this season.”
Sports shorts
Johnston Jnr said they had looked within to strengthen the side, bringing younger players through into the top side. Since getting a new green last season, the club has been unbeatable at home. “We’ve looked at what Kyneton Golf have done over the years, and they’ve been really successful. “They bring new energy and they’re motivated to perform well and start up in the top side.” Gisborne sits atop the ladder one point clear of Lancefield and well clear of the rest of the pack. Both sides have won five matches each, the sixth was against each other and was declared a draw after being interrupted by rain. “We’d like to play a full match against them,” Johnston Jnr said. “It was called off three-quarters of the way through last time. We were up by five shots
36 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 22, 2016
and leading three of the rinks at the time. We would like to finish top-two,” he said. “Kyneton Golf won three finals last season to win the premiership. Hopefully, nine and half wins should get us a top-two finish.” In other results, Lancefield also came through undefeated, with a 99 (16)-86 (2) win against last season’s premiers Kyneton Golf. Bacchus Marsh had a convincing 116 (18)-60 (0) win against Woodend, while Romsey defeated Kyneton in a thriller, 97 (16)-96 (2). Kyneton Gold, Macedon, Mt Cottrell and Bacchus Marsh had wins in division 2, while Romsey, Woodend, Gisborne, Mt Cottrell and Trentham were winners in division 3. Tara Murray Glenn Johnston Jnr is the leading skip this season. (Shawn Smits)

SPORT
Rising star takes his chances A whirlwind 12 months has morphed Ben Ronke from a virtual unknown to a possible draftee. Having missed selection for the Cannons twice, he played local football last year with St Bernards, where he showed enough talent at the under-19 level to be selected for the seniors, and was part of St Bernards’ Victorian Amateur Football Association A-grade premiership side last season. While being drafted was always at the back of his mind, Ronke didn’t think he had a chance. He planned a pre-season at Footscray VFL, but a phone call from Calder Cannons’ talent manager Ian Kyte changed all that. “Ian called me [in the off season] and said I was still eligible to play,” Ronke said last week. “I thought I may as well give it a crack. I came down to Cannons and started in the bottom group, and worked my way up to the top group.
“I then made my debut in round one.” The 18-year-old ended up playing 15 games for the Cannons this year, and was one of their most consistent players, winning the club’s best and fairest award, the Robert Hyde Medal. “I really enjoyed the last 12 months with the Cannons,” Ronke said. “I thought Zach [Guthrie] was going to hold on and win. I was grateful and honoured to win it.” Ronke’s performances haven’t just been recognised by the club – he was selected to test at the state combine, where he topped the testing in the 20-metre sprint and recorded a top-10 beep test. He also made his VFL debut playing two games for Coburg, and his name is on the radar of some AFL clubs. “I’m trying to keep expectations down and spending time with friends and family,” he said. “I’ve always tried to stay positive and I had
hope in the back of my mind I’d get selected. I’ve spoken to some clubs.” Having played both TAC Cup and senior football at St Bernards and Coburg, Ronke he will have an edge come draft time. “It was a great experience playing against players who you see on the TV,” he said. “I think it will help. The speed and psychological game between the TAC Cup and VFL is different. “It takes a little bit of time to get used to.” If not taken in the drafts, Ronke could be recruited by Essendon as a category B rookie under the new indigenous and multicultural academies. He said he hasn’t thought much about this option. Tara Murray Ben Ronke thrived in his first year with Calder Cannons. (Shawn Smits)
Cannons’ defence in good hands By Tara Murray At the start of the year, Zach Guthrie just wanted to make the Calder Cannons’ squad. Having been part of the program at under-16 level, Guthrie missed out on making the under-18 squad last season. “Last year, I played locally with the Sunbury Lions,” he said last week. “I tried to play my best at local level and work on a couple of areas. My body wasn’t right, so I did a lot of hard work in the gym. “My priority was to put my best foot forward.” Guthrie made the Cannons’ squad this year, and was picked in the team’s round one side. Once there, he didn’t want to give up his spot. He ended up playing every game, coming second in the club’s best and fairest award. “I wanted to keep developing as a player and a person,” he said. “I guess I tried to improve every game. To come second behind Ben Ronke, who was a worthy winner, is a good measure of the work I put in.”
‘‘
Zach Guthrie’s determination could see him join an AFL list. (Shawn Smits)
We have been taught … defence is as important as - Zach Guthrie getting the ball
’’
Guthrie also won the Cannons’ most improved player award. Not only did he nail down his spot, he did it playing in a unfamiliar position. “It’s the first year playing in defence,” he said. “It was a bit of a challenge, but once I got used to the role, I gained some confidence. “We [Zach and his brothers] have been taught through dad, (that) defence is as important as getting the ball. “Defence is my best position at the moment and I’m comfortable with it.” Guthrie’s form for the Cannons resulted in his selection for the state combine, an experience he appreciated. He said he had spoken to AFL recruiters, but wasn’t expecting anything come Friday’s AFL national draft or Monday’s rookie draft. “School had been the focus, so I haven’t thought about it much. There’s a bit of interest, but I don’t rely on that. “If I’m picked up, I’m rapt, but I’m not expecting anything, My fingers are crossed.” If selected, Guthrie doesn’t have to look too far to get advice about being an AFL player. Older brother Cameron was drafted by Geelong at pick 23 in 2010. He has played 108 games for the Cats, finishing fourth in the club’s best and fairest award this year. “Being the youngest one, my [three] brothers have been in this spot,” Guthrie said. “Cam has got exposed to the next level, and exposed me to that intensity and elite level … I admire how he goes about it.” Guthrie said he is still to decide on his plans for next year if he’s not drafted. “I’ll see how the next month unfolds.”
Other draftee hopefuls Karl Brown (Calder Cannons) The TAC Cup’s leading goalkicker this season, Brown returned to the Cannons as a 19-year-old, wanting to show recruiters more than glimpses of his talents. Played in Vic Metro’s opening game of the national carnival.
Hayden Blythe (Calder Cannons) Was one of two Cannons’ players to make the final Vic Metro squad for the under-18 national championships, playing in one game during the carnival. The midfielder was consistent for the Cannons in the middle of the ground. Another to test at the state combine.
Other players to watch for: Luke Ryan (former Cannons) Hisham Kerbatieh (former Cannons), James Ferry (Macedon, former Cannons) Ozgur Uysal (former Cannons)
