Fuel station bid blocked By Laura Michell
Honour for passion
(Joe Mastroianni)
Woodend residents have won their ongoing battle against plans for a petrol station on High Street, with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal ruling the proposal “doesn’t fit” with the character of the town. TAG Azzure Management, on behalf of United Petroleum, launched a VCAT appeal against Macedon Ranges council’s refusal to grant a permit for a petrol station, convenience shop and cafe at 59a High Street. The case was heard over five days in April and May, with VCAT members Michael Nelthorpe and Tracey Bilston-McGillen ruling last Monday to uphold the council’s decision. Mr Nelthorpe and Ms Bilston-McGillen said that building a service station on a site at the entrance of Woodend would be “akin to trying to put a square peg in a round hole”. “It just doesn’t fit,” they said. “[The proposal] fails to respect the entry to the Woodend town centre as it is visually intrusive, provides inadequate landscaping and is dominated by large hard stand areas and crossovers. “We find that its appearance combined with its emission of artificial light detracts from the heavily treed and park-like setting of this entrance to the town centre.” The application is the second for a service station on the site in recent years, with an application from Coles Express refused by the council and VCAT in 2015. Settle Woodend member Maxwell Winchester said he was “ecstatic” the council’s decision had been upheld. He said a petrol station would have created road safety issues given its location on the edge of a bridge. Settle Woodend, which has spent 10 years campaigning against inappropriate developments in Woodend, engaged the services of a local planning barrister to oppose the application. “Woodend is a beautiful, historic village … we want it to stay that way,” Mr Winchester said. “The last thing we need on the entrance to a beautiful village is a commercial service station. We hope the owners of the site will come to their senses and realise a petrol station is not appropriate.”
You might struggle to find someone more passionate about local history than Kyneton’s Ronda Walker. A member of the Friends of Kyneton Museum, Ms Walker is dedicated to promoting the town’s history by helping to raise money and maintaining collections. “[History] has a tremendous role in building a sense of community,” she said. “I find it fascinating how many families have a connection to Kyneton because it was on the road to the Goldfields. It is amazing how many families come back to Kyneton to research that connection.” Ms Walker’s dedication to promoting her local community – and her volunteer efforts over the years – have earned her an Order of Australia Medal in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours. A Kyneton resident since the 1980s, Ms Walker is also a member of the Kyneton Fire Brigade, working as a radio operator since 1974. She is also a member of the Zonta Club of Kyneton. Two other Macedon Ranges residents – Janet Wood and David Mann – were also recognised in this year’s honours list. RONDA WALKER

Council protests fail-to-vote bill By Laura Michell Hume council is facing a bill of up to $40,000 from the Victorian government Solicitor’s Office for the prosecution of five residents who failed to vote in the 2016 council election. In a letter to Special Minister of State Gavin Jennings, Hume council chief executive Domenic Isola said the council considered the charges to be excessive. Mr Isola said that the council had been advised by the Victorian Electoral Commission that it would cost between $3000 to $8000 to
prosecute each of the five cases. The cases will be taken to court by the Solicitor’s Office on behalf of the Victorian Electoral Commission. Prior to 2015, councils prosecuted their own failure to vote cases. In the letter, Mr Isola said the council conducts its own prosecutions for a range of infringement matters, with internal expenses generally not exceeding $300. He said the use of an external legal firm cost $700. He said that prior to 2015, the council prosecuted residents for failing to vote for considerably less than the Solicitor’s Office.
“While the council recognises the importance of enforcement of these matters through the courts, it views these costs by the VGSO to be excessive beyond what could be considered fair or reasonable, considering the maximum penalty for an offence of this nature is one penalty unit ($158.56),” he said. “The prosecution expenses are in excess of what the courts would award as a costs order in the case of successful prosecution. “This would leave council considerably out of pocket for these prosecutions even if they are successful.”
Victorian Electoral Commission communication and engagement director Sue Lang said the cases involved significant work from the commission and Solicitor’s Office. “If the matter progresses, it can involve up to three court appearances by the VGSO,” she said. Ms Lang disputed that the fives cases would leave the council “considerably out of pocket”, adding that the amount the council received from almost 15,000 failure-to-vote infringements would “vastly” outweigh the likely prosecution costs.

Group presses for car park budget
ELOISE AND ISOBEL
Twins take live theatre for a spin Sunbury’s Henry twins seem destined to have their names up in lights. Aspiring actors Isobel and Eloise, aged eight, got their first break when they were just nine months old, appearing as baby Stella in Channel Ten drama Offspring for two seasons. They went on to star in Underbelly and reached the semi-finals of Australia’s Got Talent. The girls have also appeared in several short films, and most recently, a feature film called Just Between Us.
The film, which premiered in Melbourne and Adelaide last month, is currently showing at Carlton’s Cinema Nova. Isobel and Eloise will turn their attention to live theatre when they tread the boards at Rippon Lea from July 5 in Festen, which is described as a dark thriller. Mum Jodie said the sisters were excited about the transition to the stage. “They have been training in acting for three years so it was a very good progression to do something live,” she said.
Ms Henry said Isobel and Eloise had been training at Sunbury’s FlashDance Performing Arts since they were two. They train six days a week, taking classes in acting, singing, dancing and musical theatre. “This is what they want to do,” Ms Henry said. “They struggle in the school holidays when their classes aren’t on.” Festen will be at Rippon Lea from July 5 until July 22.

The Gisborne Roads and Transport Group is calling on Macedon Ranges council to address the parking shortage in the town’s CBD. In a submission to the council’s draft 2018-19 budget, the group asked the council why no money had been allocated to improve local parking over the past two years. Group chairman Russell Mowatt said the proposed 2018-19 budget included $413,000 to improve parking in Woodend, Kyneton and Riddells Creek. “Given that the Gisborne CBD is experiencing unprecedented car parking pressures over the last two years, our question to council is why has no allocation been made?” he said. “We believe it is remiss of the council not to address this high priority issue for not only businesses, employees, residents … but for all. “[The parking shortage] has well and truly surpassed the trigger point for action to be taken by the council.” Mr Mowatt said the council decided in 2016 to use $600,000 from the sale of land at 51 Aitken Street to Aldi for public car parking projects in the Gisborne area, but the money was yet to be spent. He said the group had started circulating petitions to Gisborne businesses, requesting for more parking spaces and had received feedback from residents frustrated by the parking problems. The group wants the council to use the next two budgets to increase the number of spaces. Laura Michell

Macedon Ranges residents are being reminded to use their wood heaters efficiently throughout winter to help reduce air pollution and protect the health of the community. Council’s community safety manager Anne-Louise Linder said problems can arise if wood heaters are not operated correctly. She urged residents to ensure they use plenty of dry kindling, burn dry and seasoned wood, open air controls 20 minutes after reloading and don’t allow the heater to smoulder overnight.

Mr Hocking said that most of the donated items were taken to Youth Projects in Hosier Lane, Melbourne which provides showers and laundry facilities, as well as meals and use of computers for homeless people. Some donations are also distributed to local charities on request. Donations can be dropped off at Woodend library or Mort and Pestle, 2/130 High Street, until the end of June.

Lions shoot for net gain
Soccer club in plea on lights
By Laura Michell Sunbury Lions Football Netball Club is calling on Hume council to urgently upgrade its netball courts to accommodate growing numbers of players. The Lions made a submission to the council’s draft 2018-19 budget, calling for $120,000 to be made available to reconfigure the netball court at Sunbury Recreation Reserve back to two courts. Club secretary Allan O’Connor said the current single court was “inadequate�. “We now have five senior netball teams and are expected to have six next season, meaning we will not be able to accommodate all teams on the same day with one court,� he said. “We also have three junior netball teams and are expecting to go to four next season. “Netball participation is continuing to grow and as a consequence our single netball court facility has become inadequate.� The Lions are also calling for the lights at the reserve to be upgraded to allow night netball matches. The council was planning to upgrade the lights in 2019-20 as part of its outdoor sports lighting policy, but the Lions would like the upgrade to be completed earlier. Mr O’Connor said it was imperative that netball teams could train and play games at night in conjunction with the football matches. “With outdoor participation consistently growing, expanding the facility beyond a single court and having greater flexibility in timing of matches that comes with adequate lighting will benefit all users,� he said. The Lions’ submission was one of 23 received by the council, following the release of its draft budget on April 30. Other submissions included a request for

installing toilets, an outdoor sink and seating at the Craigieburn Community Garden. The council held a special council meeting on June 4 to hear submissions and is expected to adopt the budget on June 25.
Sunbury United soccer club is urging Hume council to fast track the upgrade of lights at its Langama Park home ground, saying it cannot wait until 2020-21 for the work to be done. The council is planning to upgrade the lights in two stages – in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 – as part of its draft outdoor sports lighting upgrades plan. But in a submission to the council, Sunbury United president Charlie Prognac said the club could not wait that long. Mr Prognac said the lights on pitch one were nearly 40 years old. “We feel that the lights are no longer adequate, based on our rising member base and subsequent higher demand for access to our soccer facility,� he said. “The lights are not environmentallyfriendly and are now beyond repair and it has been indicated to us that ongoing maintenance is very difficult.� Langama Park is the only soccer facility in Sunbury, with the reserve also used by Sunbury Rugby League Club and Sunbury Cricket Club. Pitch one is dedicated to soccer and accommodates matches for United’s senior men and women, men’s reserves, and 16 junior teams. Mr Prognac said some of the club’s teams trained at similar times to the league club, leaving some teams training in “black spots� and raising concerns about junior player safety. Laura Michell

Queen’s Birthday honour By Laura Michell Two Macedon Ranges residents have been recognised for their contributions to the community, being named as members of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. Riddells Creek’s Janet Wood and Mount Macedon’s David Mann were among 1007 Australians included in the list, which was announced on Monday. Ms Wood was recognised for her significant service to aged welfare as an advocate for human rights, and for her work with the Uniting Church. Ms Wood said she has been involved with the Uniting Church since it first started and was passionate about the social justice work it does. “I was very much involved in issues around racism in my youth. It has always been a constant priority as it is an going issue. And then I became involved in the feminist movement, Indigenous cause and now ageing and ageism,” she said. In addition to her work with the Uniting Church, Ms Walker has been a member of ministerial advisory councils for health, senior Victorians and affordable housing. These days, she is involved in the Kyneton and District Health Service and Macedon Ranges council health and wellbeing advisory committee. Mr Mann was recognised for his service to Victoria through charitable organisation, business, promotions and marketing. A Mount Macedon resident since 1993, Mr Mann said he began volunteering because a mentor told him there was more to life than working on your paid job. Over the years, he has been a member of

Macedon Ranges council is pushing for the federal government to introduce Australia-wide reforms to address the current recycling crisis. Mayor Jennifer Anderson and acting chief executive officer Dale Thornton will use a trip to the Australian Local Government Association’s national assembly in Canberra next week to push for a national solution. They will ask the association to advocate for the government to hold an inquiry into the future of the waste and recycling sector and to review current practices. The council also wants the government to invest in supporting market development, technologies and local industries to create a viable recycling industry. “The changes in the recycling industry where offshore processing costs and requirements have increased dramatically has highlighted that this offshore solution is not sustainable and has had a huge impact on local councils,” Cr Anderson said. “Waste and resource recovery is not just a local problem, or a state problem, it’s a national issue.” The council’s call follows the revelation that it had to pay an extra $233,000 for its recycling services this year as a result of the recycling crisis. The council is negotiating a new contract for waste collections and is considering increasing its waste service charge.

Next link in the chain One of the last pieces of civic ceremonial costume – the mayoral chain – has been re-imagined for a new exhibition at the Kyneton Town Hall. Mayoral Chain brings together the work of 10 contemporary artists who have reinvented the chain using materials such as beach debris, drinking straws, kangaroo teeth, biscuit tins and denim. The exhibition is part of Craft Victoria’s regional touring program and will run until Friday, August 24. As part of the exhibition, Macedon Ranges council is offering school tours of the historic Kyneton council chambers.
Cr Natasha Gayfer said the tours and workshops offered students a deeper insight into the role and responsibility of local government. “The tours are a great idea because they give students the chance to build on their existing knowledge,” she said. “Topics like citizenship, diversity and democracy will all be explained during the tour, with the idea being that students walk away with an increased understanding of how they can be part of the democratic process.” Details: www.mrsc.vic.gov.au/buytickets Laura Michell

Macedon Ranges Rural Australians for Refugees is running a food drive. (Marco De Luca)
Providing food for thought Macedon Ranges residents are being encouraged to show their support for refugees by donating tinned goods, pantry staples and toiletries to a food drive to support the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. Organised by the Macedon Ranges Rural Australians for Refugees (MRRAR), the food drive will collect non-perishable items to donate to the centre’s foodbank. MRRAR volunteers will be outside Woodend Coles and IGA Gisborne on Saturday, June 23 to collect donations. Basmati rice, dried red lentils and chickpeas, canned tomatoes and tomato paste, coconut cream, tinned fish in oil and bikkies top the list of desperately needed items. MRRAR’s Margot Clark said the food drive coincided with Refugee Week, from
June 17-23. “People from across the world have sought safety in Australia. They are making many valuable contributions to Australian society and show immense courage and resilience,” she said. “MRRAR works to support refugees through fundraising and collection of basic non-perishable foods.” Ms Clark said the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre provided food to 700 people every week. The group will also hold a movie night on Friday, June 22 at the Norma Richardson Hall, Buckland Street, Woodend to raise money for the centre. The movie, Welcome, will start at 7pm.

A WORD FROM THE PRINCIPAL Sacred Heart College
C
raig Holmes, Sacred Heart College Kyneton principal, believes hands-on experiences play a vital part in learning. The college, he says, offers a broad range of experiences that ensure students are exposed to many and varied activities – giving them a taste of the wider world. “The college conducts and supports a wide variety of co-curricular activities and encourages students to participate in line with their ability, skill level and interest,” he says. “Co-curricular activities fall within the following broad groupings – camps, community, creative and performing arts, debating and public speaking, learning area competitions and theme weeks, sport, and special activities such as the college production and debutante ball.” The college has a strong community focus, with students encouraged to support those in need. “The values of compassion, hospitality, justice and respect are at the core of these activities,” Mr Holmes says. “This community focus can be seen in action when our students work in the Kyneton Community Kitchen. “Run on a weekly basis and operating from the college’s Hospitality Centre, the kitchen provides hospitality to local people who may find it difficult to access nourishing meals. “The college also raises funds, and gains an understanding of those in need, through a student team, Mercy@Work. “This group informs our community about various topics and sets activities and goals for fundraising.” The Indigenous Immersion program offers students rich opportunities to discover, through hands-on experiences, the uniqueness of indigenous culture, spirituality and language. Each year, students in years 10 and 11 can apply to participate in an immersion trip to

Jarlmadangah Burru (250 kilometres east of Broome). Established in 2006, the trip tradition continues through collaboration with community elders and school staff. A key component of the visit, next taking
place in July, are classroom activities at Nyikina Mangala Community School. Mr Holmes says students emerge from their educational journey at Sacred Heart College Kyneton with the confidence and the courage to pursue their individual pathways and
embrace the challenges of the future as global citizens. Sacred Heart College Kyneton, 94 High Street, Kyneton. Inquiries: 5421 1200 or shckyneton.catholic.edu.au

A WORD FROM THE PRINCIPAL Salesian College Sunbury
M
ark Brockhus, Salesian College Sunbury Principal, says Don Bosco’s unique charism is firmly entrenched in all aspects of the College’s day-to-day life. A priest, educator and writer of the 19th century, Don Bosco dedicated his life to the betterment and education of disadvantaged youth and developed teaching methods based on love. “This charism, based on respectful relationships with one another, is evidenced in the classroom, in the playground, on the sporting field, on the stage, and in any place where two or more are gathered,” Mr Brockhus says. “We listen to the needs of the wider community in developing learning pathways to cater for all learning styles, while retaining high expectations of our students and encouraging positive attitudes to learning and a belief in success. “Our College is a co-educational school providing quality education in a community of faith. Each of our school values, Community, Learning, Excellence, and Faith, play an integral role in the success of our College.” The school’s motto, Striving in Life, is reflected in its unique culture. Great efforts are made to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for the entire staff and student community. Dedicated teachers encourage and challenge students, ensuring they have every opportunity to achieve greatness. Classrooms integrate technology so learning is engaging, stimulating and helps students become lifelong learners. The enriching curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities – including agricultural, woodwork, dance, and textiles studies – allow Salesian College Sunbury students to develop a broad range of skills

across various learning areas, opening their minds to their potential. “Anyone is welcome to visit our college and join one of our regular campus tours,”
Mr Brockhus says. “See our fantastic facilities, meet our devoted teachers, and be inspired. “We are now also accepting online applications for 2020.”

A WORD FROM THE PRINCIPAL Red Rock Christian College
R
ed Rock Christian College principal Karen McCoy is proud that the school is this year celebrating 21 years of preparing students to influence their world with integrity. “We have a long, strong history of educating and developing children in their primary years,” Ms McCoy says. “This year, with the launch of our secondary program, we provide families with a new choice in education. “At RRCC, our belief that all young people are fearfully and wonderfully made is at the heart of what we do. “It motivates us to seek ways to see all young people flourish. Our wellbeing approach enables us to focus on what is right, to empower young people to embrace their strengths, build a strong positive identity and establish healthy relationships. “We have partnered with Peter Hutton, former principal of Templestowe College, to create a flexible learning model which enables students to progress according to learning readiness and not age.” Ms McCoy believes it is in the primary years that foundations are laid – foundations for building a life of learning, forming healthy mindsets and developing character. “A child’s experiences and environment in the early years are highly influential in the way they see themselves and others,” she says. “In the primary years, we focus on developing a healthy identity, resilience of character and the ability to value others and to interact positively with peers and teachers.” The secondary years, she says, are a time to build on those foundations – to coach and walk alongside teens as they become more independent in their thinking and as they explore and form opinions about the world and their place in the world. “As a Christian school, we can help our students understand God’s loving view of

the world and its people and to recognise the unique ways in which they can bring life, justice and hope to the world,” she says. “From prep right through the secondary
years, education at Red Rock Christian College is about empowering young people to know their strengths, pursue their passions and to make a difference in the world.”

A WORD FROM THE PRINCIPAL Braemar College
B
raemar College Principal Russell Deer believes a quote from Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu – “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” – is an apt summary of the school’s long-term plan to acquire land to build a second campus. In 1976, with a group of committed locals and Graham Farley as Headmaster, Braemar College commenced on the Mt Macedon site which had been vacated by the Clyde School. Forty two years later, the Woodend campus of the College will be ready for students’ occupation at the start of Semester two. Acquired in 2015 from Sir Roderick Carnegie, the 129.5-hectare site has been master-planned to support the College’s long-term vision of being a foundation to Year 12 College. The additional land also allows the College to mitigate against the risks of bushfire, an issue the College faces due to its heavily forested location. In 2017, works commenced, with six learning pods and an administration building, oval and car parking constructed. The Middle School (Years 5-8) will occupy the site with the historic Mt Macedon Campus remaining home to the Senior School (Years 9-12). The learning pods, designed by Hayball Architects and built by Melbcon, incorporate the latest thinking about impact on educational outcomes through architectural design. The learning spaces allow for flexibility in teaching practices and options for students to work together in large groups or small teams. Teachers have spaces available to them to explicitly teach content and allow time for deeper understanding through smaller group conferencing. “The architecture allows teachers to add a valuable dimension to their teaching practice,” Mr Deer says. “Skills such as critical and creative thinking,
Braemar College Principal Russell Deer with 2018 College Captains Tim Duff and Lauren Walduck. (Supplied)
collaborating and communicating with student peer groups, can be enhanced by this built environment.” While the Woodend site is focused on Middle Schooling, the Senior School students are regaining space on the Mt Macedon site previously occupied by the Middle School students. Senior School students and staff are working together to plan how their learning spaces can
be enhanced to make the most of the bushland setting and the iconic architecture. This work will inform a masterplan being developed across the whole College. Students, staff and our parent community have taken the opportunity to link with the site through tree planting events. In total, 1800 native plants, sourced from Newham Landcare, have so far been planted. These events created a natural bond between the two sites.
With two sites and two schools (Middle and Senior), students and staff are working together to ensure the cultural basis of the College, living the College’s motto generated 42 years ago, “many parts - one body”.

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir gets a tasty, and well-priced, reminder of how good pizza can be
TERMINAL 45 WOODFIRE PIZZERIA Address: 41-45 Edgewater Boulevard, Maribyrnong Phone: 9317 0123
The western suburbs are quite well endowed with classy pizza places. One that appears to have flown under the pizza pie radar is Terminal 45 Woodfire Pizzeria, which is down the hill from the Edgewater shops and pretty much right next door to St Burgs. Last time Bennie and I spied this joint, it was a sunny summer Sunday early evening and it was packed and firing. This time – urged on by a successful home delivery and a friend’s hearty recommendation – we are back early in the week. We are the only customers, though deliveries continue apace. It’s a nice space with lots of PIZZA PICCANTE wood, though parking is an issue; best to leave the car at the shops up the hill and enjoy the short walk down. Terminal 45 lists almost a couple of dozen pizzas, with what seems less on the menu by way of pasta and starters than most such places. No matter – we are here for pizza. And they’re excellent. Caprese ($16) is like a salad on a pizza base, and thus an instant hit with my salad-loving son. It’s simple, tasty and rather magnificent – just uncooked mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil. Piccante ($16) has hot salami, roasted red capsicum, mozzarella and fresh chilli. It, too, hits our pizza spots right nicely. PIZZA CAPRESE And not only do our pizzas please us, we note happily that the prices are a good dollar or two less than we regularly pay elsewhere.

Riddell gains some ground By Tara Murray
under-19 players Molly Trezise, Ashley Cole and Kiara Taylor all stepped up into the A-grade side. Trezise and Taylor were named in the Bombers’ best. “They stepped up and absolutely smashed it,” Close said. “Us more experienced players better watch our backs. “With VNL [Victorian Netball League] clashes and a few players heading to Europe towards the end of the season, we’ll need them [younger players] to fit in. “We’ll rotate them through the side the next few weeks.” This week the Bombers face Woodend-Hesket after all sides had a bye for the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. Close said the break came at a perfect time, with several players playing multiple games of netball a week. She said the focus for the rest of the season was to continue improving. “We’re really happy with how we started,” she said. “We want to stick to our game plan. We’re not concentrating on the number of wins, it’s about doing what we do well. “We saw last year it doesn’t matter where you finish when it comes to finals.” In other matches, Diggers Rest hosts Wallan, Melton Centrals will look to return to form against Macedon, Romsey faces Rockbank and Rupertswood’s plays Broadford.
Riddell continues to gain momentum in the Riddell District Netball League. Traditionally slow starters, the Bombers are fourth with four wins and three losses and are coming off their most dominant performance this season with a big win against Melton Centrals. Even their losses have shown positive signs, with the Bombers right in the game until the final quarter in two of the games. Bombers’ playing coach Lauren Close said the team was happy with its results and was happy to be going under the radar. “We’ve been trying to find our feet and the combinations,” she said. “The team looks quite good on paper, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you play good netball. “I’m really happy with how we started. “It always takes time to come together and gel. We’re now starting to make an impact.” The Bombers have a mixture of experience and youth in the side. Close said while they all hadn’t played a lot together, four players, including three from their attacking end, regularly played netball together. Close, Bec Colwell, Ellen Close and Maddi Wallmeyer all play for DC North East Blaze. While the experienced players continue to show what they can do, Close has been impressed with what the younger players bring to the game. Bec Colwell is again one of the top goalscorers in In their last win against Melton Centrals, the competition. (Shawn Smits)

Bulldogs gain respect By Tara Murray Gisborne will take a lot of positives out of its loss to Golden Square in the Bendigo Netball League on Saturday. While the Bulldogs entered the game ranked higher on the ladder, they were wary of what last year’s runners-up could do. Golden Square pulled out the big guns, with a number of handy inclusions headlined by shooter Gabrielle Richards. The Bulldogs pushed Golden Square all the way, but fell short 46-43. Bulldogs’ coach Kim Bailey said they had their chances to get the win. “They had their best team in and we had a really strong team also,” she said. “They jumped us in the first quarter and we couldn’t peg it back. “We didn’t capitalise on turnovers. If we had converted on turnovers, it could have been a different story. “They’re a team that has played in grand finals, so it’s a good sign to push them to within three goals.” The Bulldogs brought in shooter Clare Vearing for her first game with the club. Bailey said it would take time for Vearing to settle into the side. She has only played with Ella Bertacchini before. Vearing played three quarters on Saturday. “Clare and Ella have been playing together at Boroondara Express [in Victorian Netball League championship division]. “We need to get used to her playing with us. “With Rach [Rachel McKenzie] it’s good to have three good goalers that we can switch around. “The two tall goalers together matched up well [on Saturday].” Defensively, Bailey thought they did a really good job in trying to restrict Golden Square, especially Richards. Bailey said Maddy Stewart played her best game of the season in trying to shut down Richards. “She got a few deflections and our defensive pressure was really good.” She teamed up with Janelle Birch who filled in, with Melinda Luke missing the game. Birch, who plays under Bailey in the Victorian Netball League, played a strong game. The Bulldogs sit third with a 3-3 record. Bailey said she was happy with where they were sitting. “We played two pretty poor games against Sandhurst and Eaglehawk and we needed to bounce back from that. “Having a more settled line-up will help in the second half of the season. “We’re happy to sit third. All you have to do is make finals.” The Bulldogs this week face South Bendigo, but will have a few players out. Bailey said they had depth coming through the sides, especially the under-17s, to hopefully cover those losses.

Sunbury Lions’ unbeaten start to the Ballarat Netball League season has continued with a strong win against Sebastopol. The Lions trailed at quarter-time before getting a two-goal lead at half-time. It was the same margin at the final break, before an 18-8 last quarter sealed a 54-42 win for the Lions. Tarnee Adams shot 42 goals for the Lions, both Adams and Ruth Smith shot at more than 80 per cent accuracy. Midcourter Lauren Gilcrist was named the Lions’ best. The Lions’ B and C-grade sides are also on top of the ladder and the D-grade and under-19s are both in the top six. All teams play Ballarat this week.

Among those named in the under-17 girl’s team are Sunbury United’s Madeline Jones, Gisborne’s Bridget Barlow, Macedon’s Mikayla Tunley, Diggers Rest’s Kara Gifford, Kyneton duo Charli Copeland and Hayley Fleming, East Sunbury’s Jessica Hourigan, Riddell’s Charlotte Dempsey and Hanging Rock’s Holly Robinson. The championships were formerly known as the state championships.

Saints storm to a massive win over injury-hit Thunder There were no Queen’s Birthday celebrations for East Sunbury as it was brought back to reality in Essendon District Football League division 2. Saturday’s match against the Northern Saints turned into a nightmare for the ladder leaders, as they were not only smashed on the scoreboard, but also with injuries. After leading at quarter-time, the Thunder were put to the sword by the Saints. The Saints were more focused and had come to play – and it showed on the scoreboard. The Saints kicked 21 goals to two after the first break, to win 22.20 (152)-6.7 (43). Thunder coach Steve Grey said the result was a wake-up call for the playing group. “It just started off bad right from the start
with Lucas [Shaw] hurting his knee before the first bounce. “It’s a wake up call, but not the end of the world. I would say that we didn’t work as hard as them. They were hungry and put a lot of pressure on us. “We didn’t really come to play. Full credit to Northern Saints, they came to play and were too good for us.” Grey said they went away from their team structures and were made to pay as their efficiency was poor and they over-used the ball. He said Callum Lever, Mitchell Johns and Tom Cree were the best in the loss. Compounding the loss was a large injury toll. The Thunder played the last 10 minutes with
just 17 players on the field, but had as many as eight players who finished the game injured. Diquan Williams and Timothy Hill were out of the game before quarter-time, while James Ellis didn’t play after half-time, all with leg injuries. Shane Lindsay broke his hand in the second half, while Adam Galea also finished on the bench with a knee injury. Lucas Shaw and Tom Galea were among those who struggled through the game. With the injuries, Grey said they would reassess and have a look at other options to fill spots. Despite the loss, the Thunder remains on top of the ladder with other results going their way.
Burnside Heights knocked off Moonee Valley, while Coburg Districts smashed Hadfield. The Thunder sits a game clear of the other three sides in the top four. Their next two matches are against third-placed Roxburgh Park and fourth-placed Moonee Valley. Grey said the competition had evened right up. “We have to get back to the drawing board and get the group together,” he said. “We’re a very young group and we are going to have days like this. We’ll just sit down and have a look at what is best for us against Roxy.” Tara Murray 25 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 12, 2018

Lions make early statement Sunbury Lions produced three strong quarters as they returned to the winners’ list in the Ballarat Football League. Coming off a disappointing performance the week before against North Ballarat City, the Lions were challenged to respond. Getting a good start was the key against Sebastopol, which knocked off reigning premiers Darley the previous week. The first three quarters were all one way, with the Lions dominating across the ground. A 58-point lead was reflective of how the game had been played. A last quarter comeback added some respectability for the Burras, but the Lions still had a good win, taking the game 14.4 (88)-7.8 (50). Lions’ coach Ben Jordan was happy with how the team responded and showed some real aggression at the ball after the previous round. “It was a really good three quarter effort,” he said. “It was a good response, the energy levels were up and we made a statement early.
“I think Sebastopol is a dangerous team. “They have four or five VFL talent players and we put a big focus on negating them. “We were able to do that and get the game on our terms.” With the game already over at three-quarter time, the Burras threw everything at the wind in the last quarter and outscored the Lions five goals to two in the final term. Jordan said it was disappointing to finish that way and they know they can’t drop off like that in big games. “They started to take the game on a little bit more with the game out of reach. “We were a little bit loose and they played some good football. “We need to concentrate for the whole 120 minutes.” Jack Landt kicked five goals for the Lions in his best game since returning to the club. Jordan said Landt benefited from the work done up the ground.
“Jack is a good finisher and he doesn’t need a hell of a lot of the ball.” Other standouts were Grant Valles up forward, Nathan Wood in the backline and Mitch Conn in the middle. Jordan said Jack Fenner played well in his first game for the club, while Liam Berry played his best game since moving across from Rupertswood. The second-placed Lions this week face Ballarat at home, before facing ladder leaders Bacchus Marsh the following week. “They [Ballarat] can be dangerous at home,” Jordan said. “If we do what we did against Sebastopol in the first three quarters, I think that form stacks up.” The Lions reserves and under-18.5s also had wins. Other winners were Ballarat, Darley, Bacchus Marsh and East Point. Tara Murray
Tigers win in a landslide By Tara Murray Kyneton didn’t have any trouble accounting for Castlemaine in the Bendigo Football League on Saturday. The clubs are at different stages of their developments, and the Tigers were expected to record an easy win. A 12-goal second quarter to the Tigers broke the game open, with the margin at nearly 100 points at the main break. The Tigers continued on their way in the second half, winning 19.14 (188)-9.6 (60). Tigers’ coach Luke Beattie was happy with the win, saying they had stuck closer to their structures than in the previous round. “To get an outcome like that was expected,” he said. “Castlemaine played pretty well in the first quarter, but our ability to maintain the pressure and standard for a longer period of time was the difference.” Rhys Magin put in one of the most dominant performances Beattie had seen in a long time. “He had such dominance in the midfield and then to kick eight goals, you don’t see that often. “He kicked two thirds of those goals while he was up forward resting.” Jake Ward also kicked eight goals, as the Tigers forward line turned up in full force. Beattie said the speed they were getting the ball inside 50 would have made it hard for any team. “Jake could have had 10 goals,” he said. “Ethan [Foreman] kicked five goals and gave up five goals. Both of those guys, and Josh Govan and Chris Barry, were good up forward. “That’s the diversity we planned for. You can keep one guy quiet and another two or three pop up.” Despite the dominant display, Beattie wasn’t 100 per cent happy with how the side played. Defensively, he was disappointed with how many goals they gave up. He said that was something they would work on. “We need to reduce the opposition scoring capacity,” he said. “It was clearly a dominant display from us but we let them score 60 points. “Against the likes of Sandhurst and Eaglehawk we restricted them to less than 10 goals. With the forward line we have, we back them to kick 10 goals and we will win more than we lose if we do that.” The Tigers sit third, only two points behind the top two sides. This weekend they meet Golden Square. Beattie said they hadn’t started a season this well since about 1997. He said while they had been playing well, the depth within the club is also having an impact. “It does show the growth of the club, being in this position,” he said. “The reserves are sitting fifth, so it’s not just 26 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 12, 2018

the seniors. It’s credit to all the club and the direction the club has taken with the juniors. “They’re playing at a higher standard and it’s assisted their development. “Leyton Chisholm, Jackson Conforti and Oscar Power are kids who played well on Saturday.”
Beattie said this week’s match against fourth-placed Golden Square will present a challenge. Golden Square is coming off a shock loss to Gisborne. “They will be looking to respond,” he said. “I think we play their ground really well.”

Bulldogs find form to record a big win Gisborne produced its best win in recent years as it knocked off Golden Square in the Bendigo Football League. Gaining confidence off the back of two straight wins, the Bulldogs took it to another level against the highly rated Golden Square side. The Bulldogs led at every break, as they went on to win 15.5 (95)-9.12 (66). Gisborne coach Clinton Young was thrilled to get the win. “We played well for four quarters and we haven’t done that in our previous losses,” he said. “We set ourselves for a big month after coming off four straight losses. “I’m really happy with the win and the feeling for the group. Hopefully we’ll take a lot of confidence from beating a good side like that. “We haven’t done that for some time.” Having control of the game at three-quarter time, Young said they knew getting off to a good start in the last quarter was important. In other games this season, they’ve let games slip with just one poor quarter. “We kicked the last couple of goals in the third quarter and it was the boost we needed,” Young said. “We had more confidence going into the break and we set ourselves to start the last quarter well. “They had a few sore players and knew if we started well, that we could run away with it.” The Bulldogs had four players kick four goals apiece. The Bulldogs straight kicking all day proved to be the difference in the end, with Golden Square having more scoring shots. Young was named best on ground on the online stats. The playing coach said Jack Reaper again played well, with Heath Simpson, Matthew Goodyear, Patrick Trotta, Liam Rodgers and Ethan Minns all having strong games. “It was an even team spread,” Young said. “A lot of players played their best game for the season.” The win moves the Bulldogs to fifth and just percentage outside the top four. The Bulldogs face South Bendigo this week. Tara Murray

Jeep all-rounder is a classy act By Vani Naidoo, Marque Motoring
AT A GLANCE Jeep Compass Limited pricing and specifications:
The legendary Jeep first came into its own when used to mobilise the Allied forces in World War II. Those vehicles may have been spartan and cramped, but they were highly functional, their all-round ability and dogged attitude personifying the Allies’ determination. It is fitting then that as the company negotiates new challenges that it looks to a determined all-rounder to help lead the way. The new Jeep Compass range bears only a passing resemblance to the model it replaces in looks, ability and heart – and that is a good thing. There is a choice of four – front-wheel-drive Sport and Longitude and four-wheel-drive Limited and Trailhawk – starting from $28,850. We took a Jeep Compass Limited home with us for the week.

Styling
Given the surfeit of swoops and angles that seem to be instrumental in the exterior design of SUVs, it is refreshing to come across one that prefers to stick closer to the utility part of the SUV moniker. With its wide stance, hefty wheel arches and squarish shape, the Jeep Compass certainly stands out from the rest of the class. The cabin feels airy and light – something tricky to accomplish in a SUV of this size. There is adequate headroom, even with the optional sunroof, and space in the back to accommodate a couple of taller than average adults.
Price:

Engines / transmissions
There are two engines available across the range – a 2.0-litre diesel that offers up 125kW of power and 350Nm of torque, and the 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol (129kW/229Nm) in our test car. While the petrol engine is more than adequate
around town, it needs a fair bit of telegraphing should you want to overtake at highway speeds.
Safety
With seven airbags, including a knee-bag, stability and traction control, front and rear parking sensors, reverse camera and park assist, the Compass Limited has a fair safety package.
If it is true that the Compass has been charged with lifting Jeep’s recent fortunes, then let’s say that its performance both on and off the bitumen has set its mission on course for success. It’s an accomplished drive that takes direction easily, settles quickly over bumps and is highly manoeuvrable despite a wide turning circle. The Compass Limited is thirsty. We found consumption during our week was closer to 11.3 L/100km than the official 9.7 L/100km. Those buyers still wary of Jeep’s recent troubles may find security in a five-year/ 100,000-kilometre warranty, five-year capped-price servicing and lifetime roadside assist.
Summing up
Jeep Compass Limited is a small SUV with big promise. Its all-round performance and much-improved interior makes for a classy act.
