CFA became like a second family for me
- Jess
(Joe Mastroianni)
’’
Jess takes a leading role By Esther Lauaki Kyneton Country Fire Authority brigade’s first female officer isn’t fazed by much – but knowing she is the first woman to hold a post in the brigade’s 134-year history brings a smile to her face. Jess, 22, joined the brigade as a junior volunteer in 2008 and has since worked her way up the ranks. As an officer, Jess will assist the captain with the day to day running of the brigade as well as
turning out to emergencies. “I don’t really feel any different to other members of the brigade as the first female officer,” she said. “I feel privileged to be part of such an inclusive team where we are all treated equally. “I’m a team player and we all have specific skills that we bring to our roles in the brigade.” Jess, a Kyneton resident, said joining the CFA was a goal she set at a young age. “I was about 11 when there was a bushfire near my place,” she said. “I watched truck after
infocus T U R N T O
truck drive past our house and all I wanted to do was help. Since I joined, I love the friendship, camaraderie and the sense of community. “The CFA became like a second family for me. CFA has been a big part of my life and I’m excited to be in this role.” She encourages anyone wanting to join the CFA to roll up their sleeves and give it a go. “It’s important that if people want to help out their community and have some skills that they want to share, that they come down and join their local brigade,” she said.

Kyneton fire brigade has 13 female members, 10 of whom are operational firefighters. Captain Josh Gamble said he had faith that Jess would excel in her new role as the brigade’s new lieutenant. “It’s great to have Jess on board in a leadership capacity,” Captain Gamble said. “The brigade treats everyone as equals. “Each individual brings their own experiences and strengths to the brigade. “It’s about using those strengths to achieve the common goal.”

Romsey schooled in good health By Esther Lauaki Health care is closer to home for Romsey residents. A community health centre is operating on part of the former Romsey Primary School site and surrounding parklands have been developed in the first stage of transforming the land. Cobaw Community Health Service and the Greater Romsey All-Abilities Park group have worked with Macedon Ranges council on the nature-based health and wellbeing park.
Cobaw is offering early childhood, youth, families, adults, aged and disability services as well as providing a range of NDIS services for children and adults. Cobaw chief executive Margaret McDonald said the centre, located in the 150-year-old school building, would benefit local residents, who would no longer have to travel to Woodend and Kyneton for services such as child and adolescent support, counselling and allied health services. “Delivering local place-based services to the east of the shire has been a long-held vision
of the Cobaw board and staff,” Ms McDonald said. “We are excited to be able to bring the health and wellbeing services we currently deliver at Woodend and Kyneton to Romsey and the surrounding communities, allowing residents the opportunity to receive high-quality services without having to travel. “The renovation and expansion of the building is now complete, along with the first stage of the Ecotherapy Park.” The Romsey Ecotherapy Park, designed to provide sensory therapies through engagement with nature, was a community-led initiative
aimed at building an accessible passive recreation space for locals and visitors, Ms McDonald said. The former Romsey Primary School site works were funded by the federal government, the state Department of Health and Human Services, Macedon Ranges council and Cobaw Community Health Services. Ms McDonald said that more spaces within the park would be completed as more funding was secured. More information: mrsc.vic.gov.au/ old-Romsey-school

Monet really acts the part
Monet dreams of a long life in the arts. The Woodend starlet (pictured) is set to shine as young Cosette and young Eponine in a local production of Les Miserables next month. Her biggest roles yet will find her taking the stage in the Mount Players’ production of the classic musical at the Mount View Theatre in Macedon. Even at nine years old, Monet is something of a veteran. “My first production was Wind in the Willows when I was three years old,” she said. “I’ve been in a lot of productions since then. I
love the costumes and I like that you work hard and you get to show what you’ve learned to the audience.” Monet has had lead roles in productions of Peter Pan, Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland with Sprout Theatre Company. “To prepare for a role, I just watch the movie, then I think about how the character might be feeling and I try and do the same,” she said. “I don’t know who I want to be like, but I just know that I want to act when I grow up.” Mum Danielle Slade said that landing a part in Les Miserables had been one of Monet’s goals.

“Monet started dancing at three and singing at six,” Ms Slade said. “Then through that we realised that she has a love of theatre, so we started auditioning for shows. “When Monet started in theatre, there was a list of characters that she said that she would really like to play and she’s had the opportunity to play a lot of them. Monet is very committed to her craft.” Monet will perform in 16 sold-out Les Miserables shows next month.
Leaders in business will share their ideas, inspiration and experiences with attendees of two upcoming forums in Macedon. Macedon Ranges council will host farmers and agribusinesses on August 1 to learn more about the future of farming in the region, with guest speakers film producer Jerry Grayson, a drone filming specialist, and Professor Robert Faggian, who will discuss adapting to climate change. On August 9, the women in business networking lunch will be held to acknowledge the achievements of women and the important role they play in business within the Macedon Ranges. Guest speakers, including Diana Abruzzi from the International Women’s Federation of Commerce and Industry and Aromababy owner Catherine Cervasio, will share their knowledge on export and entrepreneurship, product development, consultancy and education, international trade, marketing and branding. Mayor Jennifer Anderson said both events promise plenty of food for thought for those in the industry. “We’re really lucky to be able to offer residents working in the agricultural industry the chance to find out more about the latest trends locally,” Cr Anderson said of the farming forum. She said the business networking luncheon encouraged women to share their experiences and forge new relationships. Limited places are available so it is important to book early. Both events cost $40 for Macedon Ranges businesses, and $60 for businesses outside the shire.

Ranges history gutted
New planning for Lancefield
By Esther Lauaki Hundreds of years of Macedon Ranges history went up in flames last week in two devastating house fires. Last Monday, fire ripped through Highbank, a 160-year-old Kyneton homestead recently renovated by former television personality Tonia Todman. The fire is believed to have been caused by a guest stoking a fire. Ms Todman offered accommodation and classes in cooking, craft, interior design and gardening at the homestead. “I’ve lost all of the things that are important to me … things like my family photos, my computer, my office,” she said. “Laundries, bathrooms, bedrooms are all gone.” She said that she would rebuild and had no intention of leaving Kyneton. The Highbank homestead was built at the beginning of the gold rush in the late 1840s by the Watson family, which had arrived from Scotland to move to farming land around Kyneton. The family was known for breeding Clydesdale horses, which were kept in the stables that Ms Todman and her husband restored and transformed into self-contained apartments 13 years ago. The CFA was called to the homestead on Donnelly Road about 7am on Monday and found the bluestone and timber farmhouse fully ablaze. CFA operations officer Chris Jacobson said it appeared no one was to blame for the fire. “The guests have just put the fire on and it’s believed that the heat from that has caught the shingles,” Mr Jacobson said. No one was injured in the blaze. The fire was brought under control at 7.27am and fully extinguished by 9.15am.

Two days later, more than 30 firefighters and 10 appliances turned out to a house fire at Mount Macedon. Fire gutted the historic 110-year-old house, named Durrol. The fire was believed to be caused by a burning log rolling out of one of

the many fireplaces in the home while the occupants were in another room. A 96-year-old occupant and her carer were safely evacuated before the fire took hold.
Lancefield could be at risk of “losing its charm” unless proper planning guidelines are in place, according to the Macedon Ranges council. It is calling on residents to have their say on an amendment to a council proposal to apply planning controls over three large residentially zoned areas located to the east, north and northwest of Lancefield’s town centre. The council’s planning and environment director Angela Hughes said the purpose of the amendment was to provide clearer guidance for future subdivisions and development in the nominated residential areas and ensure any further development is co-ordinated, sustainable and respectful of the town’s character. “Lancefield is a picturesque town, that locals and visitors alike enjoy, but without appropriate planning controls in place, to guide co-ordinated development – the town is in danger of losing its charm,” Ms Hughes said. “The proposed amendment also helps inform any infrastructure, road design and servicing works as a result of development, bringing a level of cohesion into the development process.” Feedback is welcomed until August 13. There will be a community drop-in session on July 17 and 24 from 3-8pm at Lancefield Neighbourhood House. View the documents at: mrsc.vic.gov. au/yoursay Esther Lauaki

ATLANTA TADD
Honour for excellence A Romsey early childhood educator has been acknowledged for her excellence. Atlanta Tadd was recently named the Bendigo, Goldfields and Macedon Ranges regional winner in the Excellence in Family Day Care Awards. The awards honour the work of family day care educators and their bonds with the children in their care. Ms Tadd, who is registered with Our Village Family Childcare, said she was excited to win the award. “I’ve been in childcare for more than 15 years,” she said. “I had a friend that started in childcare and encouraged me to do it and I just loved it.” After a two-year stint in a childcare centre caring for up to 15 children, she had decided
she preferred working with smaller groups through family day care. “You’re sharing the day with up to about four children and it’s not hard for them to become part of the family,” she said. “I work with these children and form great bonds with them.” Family Day Care chief executive Andrew Paterson said the awards continued to shine a light on the important role of family day care. “The Excellence in Family Day Care Awards highlight the special contribution that educators like Atlanta make to the lives of the children in their care,” Mr Paterson said. Ms Tadd is in the running to be named a national finalist, with the winners to be announced at a ceremony in September. Esther Lauaki

Brody’s brave battle continues By Esther Lauaki Brody Houragin wants to do what “normal” teens do – get his licence, go out with friends and work. The Sunbury 18-year-old hasn’t been able to experience those things because he’s been battling Ewing’s sarcoma for the past decade. Brody was first diagnosed with the rare form of bone cancer at age eight and fought another bout at age 13. He received devastating news recently that the cancer has returned for a third time. Brody’s family, led by his cousin Tayla Carrillo, set up an online crowdfunding
campaign which has raised more than $2000 in the past week towards renovations of his room and medical bills. “Brody has been through difficulties most people would struggle to even fathom,” Ms Carrillo said. “And yet he is the most charismatic and inspirational person you could ever hope to meet. “He hasn’t let anything hold him back.” He worked part-time at the local Woolworths until his most recent hospital admission. His mum Tracey told Star Weekly that Brody hasn’t been able to live his life like an average 18-year-old. “He has a very rare cancer, normally found in young adults, and at
eight years old it was found in his pelvis,” Ms Houragin said. “He’s had his right hip bone removed, then the cancer returned in his left lung the second time and surgery removed that tumour … now it’s back in the same place but it has also spread to the right lung.” She said Brody wants to fight cancer to the end and is staying positive. “He will be going down a very hard road with chemo again and our last option, if this doesn’t work, is stem cell treatment,” Ms Houragin said. “We want to be able to help him achieve all of his dreams. Brody just keeps saying, ‘Third time’s a charm’.” Donate: bit.ly/2uffia9

Space for youth to grow Movie and game nights, cooking, sports programs and workplace training are a few of the things young people will be doing at the new youth space in Riddells Creek. The space opens at Riddells Creek Community Centre on July 19 and will offer a range of activities and events for teens between 12 and 18 years to connect with each other. Macedon Ranges council will run its Youth Engagement Programs (YEP!) from the site. The programs are aimed at building skills, confidence and social capacity. Kyneton and Woodend centres also run youth programs during the school holidays. Mayor Jennifer Anderson said the new youth space was a win for young people. “Council is committed to supporting young people in the shire through our network of safe, accessible youth spaces, so it’s fantastic to
bring that to teenagers in Riddells Creek,” Cr Anderson said. “The space is a safe environment for young people to meet friends, get involved in activities and share experiences. “Young people are involved in the programming of activities and decision-making, so it’s really up to them to shape the program based on what they want and need.” Details: mrsc.vic.gov.au/YEP Esther Lauaki
Thalia, Zara, Kaj, Jasmine and Georgia are looking forward to the programs. (Joe Mastroiani)

Upgrades score a win only for the players, but [also for] coaching and management staff and supporters.” The upgrades include new female-friendly changerooms, unisex umpire facilities with ambulance access and improved public toilets. The clubrooms are done out in the Tigers’ black-and-yellow colours and there is a new meeting room and office for coaching staff. This season, the club is fielding one women’s and two youth girls’ football teams. “We finally have unisex changerooms for the away teams and they’re very pleased to have nice new facilities to use,” Ms O’Sullivan said.
Upgrades to the historic Kyneton showgrounds have given the Kyneton Football Netball Club new life in its 150th year. The club’s newly refurbished home-and-away changerooms and umpires rooms have been well received by players and supporters since their seasons began earlier this year. Club president Karen O’Sullivan took Macedon Ranges councillors on a tour of the facilities last week. “It’s the club’s 150th anniversary so the upgrade is very timely,” Ms O’Sullivan said. “The place was in disrepair, the grandstand has been there for decades and the changerooms have really not been given any love. It’s very refreshing to have the upgrades completed, not

MY PLACE Noel Rawlings was only a teen when he joined the Woodend Football Netball Club. The sports fanatic chats to Esther Lauaki about his love of the area.
I was born in Kyneton in 1953. Later I moved to Western Australia but came back to Kyneton and then stayed. Most of my life I’ve been here. How long have you lived in the area? I’ve been living in Gisborne for about 18 years. What are you passionate about? My greatest passion is sport. I barrack for Essendon and I’m a Melbourne Storm supporter. I also enjoy playing lawn bowls and watching the juniors (under 18s) progress in lawn bowls. How did you become involved with the Woodend Football Netball Club? Got involved with the Woodend football club in 1968. There was myself, Geoff Watts, John Watts, Garry Gallagher and John Robinson from Kyneton. We were 14 and 15 year olds back then and we played on Sundays while the seniors and reserves played on Saturdays. It was fantastic that the football club, as it was back then, took us on board. Many thanks to our 18 year-old coach Alan (Pud) Williams who coached the ’67 side to runners-up and ’68 premiership. We went to Kyneton Football Club in 1969, but I have always had a keen interest on how the club has progressed since then. The Woodend Football Netball Club has
great people running their club. To see small clubs keep going is great in this time and age of football. How long did you play football? I played football for about 10 years and also played and umpired basketball in Kyneton for many years. What other hats do you wear in the community? I used to be involved with the Central Highlands Rangers junior lawn bowls development under 18s squad for many years. What would people be surprised to know about you? I got married for the first time in 2001. I was 47. What is the best thing about living in the Macedon Ranges? There is a great country atmosphere here and the sporting talent coming out of the area is very good. The people living in the Macedon Ranges are the best part. If you could change anything about the area, what would it be? Make sure there is ample disabled parking in the Macedon Ranges shire as there is not enough.

Local solutions for the NDIS S
unbury Community Health provides a range of services that respond to the needs of Sunbury and surrounding communities. This cherished not-for-profit community health organisation is offering all the help people may need with navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Sunbury Community Health engagement officer Chris Kulas answers some frequently asked questions:
We are local and we know Sunbury
What is the NDIS? NDIS is the new way of helping Australians with a significant and lifelong disability, as well as their families and carers. People who already receive support because they have a disability can probably join the NDIS (they will need to meet access requirements). Children who are part of a Victorian State funded Department of Education and Training Early Intervention service will be able to access the NDIS. When you join, you will meet with a planner to talk about your goals and support needs. These will be written in a plan for you, which will include amounts of money to use on services.
using money in your NDIS plan. We can help people if they need assistance when applying for eligibility to enter the scheme.
How can Sunbury Community Health help? If you or someone you know is living with a disability, we have many different services to make your day-to-day life easier, support your health and wellbeing and help you join in social and community activities. We are a registered NDIS provider. This means we are one place you can choose to go for services
What does SCH do for children? Any child, any concern – we listen. We have a team of experienced child development professionals, including speech pathologists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. We also have audiology, social skills groups and an autism-friendly children’s dental service, along with A

PlayConnect Playgroup, a music therapy group and more. If you are worried about your child’s development, get in touch. No problem is too big or too small; we take the time to talk to you every step of the way and are here to help your WHOLE family. What does SCH have for youth and adults? We have different therapies, as well as social and group activities to support young people and adults with a disability to reach their goals. These include occupational
therapy, physiotherapy, group exercise, supported social groups and our inclusive performing arts program, known as BoilOver. Chris says: “We are a collaborative team of professionals in one place and are here to help.

Sleep easy – they’ve got you covered D
reamZzz Luxury Bedding has been making sleep-time comfortable for nearly 15 years, its longevity attributed by owner Sue Glavan to top-quality Australian-made products and old-school standards of customer service. Sue was already a well-known face in her community through her 10 years managing DreamZone, before she assumed ownership about four years ago and renamed the store DreamZzz Luxury Bedding. Since then, with offsider Rita Timpano, Sue has seen her business become the go-to place for all things bedding. A Sunbury local for 33 years, Sue has great faith in her products and has never lost sight of the need to focus on giving her customers good advice and attention to their needs. “When we have someone come in desperate for a comfortable bed to ease their back pain, it gives us genuine pleasure to guide them to the right choice of mattress,” she says. “We have a good range of mattresses designed to alleviate other health conditions, too. “But even when it’s a young couple looking for their first bed together, we can help them choose one that’s just right for them, one that will stay comfortable for many years to come. “And older people, who might have put up with a lumpy or sagging mattress, will leave our store very happy with their purchase.” Hotels and motels regularly use DreamZzz mattresses, bases, pillows,
toppers and protectors, while camping enthusiasts also find the store the perfect place to get something custom-made to boost their camper van experience to glamper van status. “If someone wants a mattress to meet out-of-the-ordinary needs, we offer custom-made mattresses with different specifications to meet that need,” Sue says. “We really are an all-purpose bedding outlet.”
It gives us genuine pleasure to guide them to the right choice Sue and Rita believe their old-fashioned country store approach is one for which today’s customers hunger. “Our customers are special and we want to make them feel that way,” Sue says. “We listen carefully, we love a chat and, most of all, we want their shopping experience to be one that gives all of us pleasure. “It’s a rewarding business, helping people of all ages who want to spend their money wisely on a bedding product that will serve them well. “That’s what it’s all about.” DreamZzz Luxury Bedding, Store 8, 75 Vineyard Road, Sunbury. Opens 10am-5pm Monday-Friday and 10am-3.30pm Saturday. Inquiries: 9740 7222 or dreamzzzluxurybedding.net.au

Sunbury gym is all about soul train B
ig commercial gyms can often seem soulless. Sure, they may have all the bells and whistles, but it can be all too easy to feel lost in the crowd. Powerhouse Gym is certainly big, but the Sunbury operation has heaps of soul. Why? Because it’s owned and run by a family – Anthony, Adam and Paula Adelinis. They genuinely care about every aspect of the place. The gym opened last August and it’s open 24/7 for members.
There’s something for all levels of fitness It has a huge main gym area, a cardio deck and a cycle studio, as well as a pro shop with clothing, accessories and Powerhouse Gym-labelled apparel. Anthony says the gym is a vibrant facility with something going on all the time. “We have classes running morning and night through the week, and daytime sessions on weekends,” he says. “We run Les Mills Body Pump, Cycle, BodyCombat and Sh’Bam classes, as well as Pilates, 45-minute Hit Circuit and BoxFit. We even have a yoga class at 7.30pm on Thursday. “There’s something for all levels of fitness and personal goal setting. Personal trainers are on board and we also run virtual classes.”

The Adelinis family has been in the fitness industry for 10 years, having owned four different gyms in that time. Paula says one thing that has been a hallmark of all of them is the atmosphere they encourage and actively promote. “All our team members are fitness nuts and take helping people very seriously,” she says.
“And they practise what they preach. If someone wants to get fit, lose weight or gain muscle, there’s immediate help and experienced advice available. “Seeing people go on their personal journey and reach their goals is very rewarding for all of us.” Until the end of July, Powerhouse Gym is offering new members a chance to join with
zero start-up costs and no fee for a 24/7 key tag. This equates to a $100 saving. Powerhouse Gym, 12-14 Kurrle Road, Sunbury. Staffed hours 8am-10pm Monday-Wednesday; 8am-9pm Thursday-Friday; 8am-6pm Saturday; and 9am-5pm Sunday. Inquiries: 9740 9869 or powerhousegym.com/sunbury

Alchemist mixes up a winning formula A
s a working artist and with years of experience in the framing trade, Bonnie Hanlon, owner of The Alchemist Artists Supply Store in Sunbury, knows a thing or two about presenting artwork with finesse and technical skill, as well as all things art supplies. A stickler for quality, Bonnie offers custom archival picture framing with museum quality in contemporary styles, yet at affordable prices.
I treat everything I frame as though it’s priceless...
The Alchemist owner, Bonnie Hanlon. (Marco De Luca)
“Our quotes are obligation free and our ‘health check’ service can assess the condition of existing frames and replace or repair any component needing attention.” Bonnie, who loves working with her hands, believes her understanding of materials and methods delivers a higher quality than is likely to be found at a generalist picture framer. “I treat everything I frame as though it’s priceless – because to the person wanting framing, it is. My philosophy is that
superior products yield superior results so everything I have in store is guided by best quality – yet it remains affordable. And I’m able to select my stock carefully, based on research and my own experience. “I love the look on my clients’ faces when they come to collect their framed works and see that our work has exceeded their expectations.” In stock are supplies from leading Australian and overseas manufacturers, such as Langridge Artist Colours, Golden
Artist Colours, Sennelier, Schmincke, Palomino, Prismacolor and many more. The Little Thinker range of plush toys and finger puppets representing Warhol, Kahlo, Monet and Van Gogh are perfect for little artists, and an exclusive range of mugs, badges and greeting cards for ‘big artists’. The Alchemist Artists Supply Store, Shop 2, The Terrace shopping centre, 106-126 Gap Road, Sunbury. Inquiries: 9740 9984 or visit thealchemist.net.au
The Alchemist offers the finest selection of Professional Quality Artist Materials including highly renowed brands such as Langridge, Golden, Sennelier, Schmincke and more! We offer Custom Archival Picture Framing with Museum Quality & Contemporary Style at Affordable Prices. Two Week turnaround & obligationfree quotes in store, over the phone and via email.

“We believe that both the presentation of an artwork and its preservation are equally important,” she explains. “Our 10 years in archival framing methods guarantees we take great care in framing artworks, photographs, documents, objects and memorabilia. “In store, we strive to support artists in their exploration, understanding and mastery of their medium by providing in-depth product information, technical advice, access to resources and the highest quality materials for picture framing. “We offer custom canvas stretching and picture framing, using archival acid-free processes and materials. We use 100 per cent rag cotton, and museum-grade matt boards which are acid free and Ph neutral, as well as a range of quality glazing options. “We have a beautiful selection of timber, veneer, gilded, micro-gesso and aluminium frames, many of which are milled and manufactured in Melbourne.

A Sunbury cafe that’s glad to be mad I
f you’re the type who likes your coffee and muffin with a side serve of quirky, Mishie Madhatter Cafe in Sunbury is your kind of place. Open since early April, the cafe has an Alice in Wonderland theme, with a madly happy atmosphere generated by colourful chairs at wooden tables, bright plates and teapots and cups collected by owner Michelle Hower’s grandmother, Rene.
Don’t we all enjoy a bit of ‘madness’ in a world? Michelle says she and Rene shared a dream of opening a cafe with a touch of magic, but sadly Rene passed away before it came to pass. Michelle wanted to pay tribute to that dream – so Mishie Madhatter Cafe opened to much acclaim. “I love seeing the looks on the children’s faces as they come through the door,” Michelle says. “We can see they love and especially gravitate to the play area we’ve set aside for them – with lots of toys. “Adults love our cafe, too, because after all, don’t we all enjoy a bit of ‘madness’ in a world that can be quite serious? And, with their children happily occupied, they can enjoy a treat in peace.” Michelle’s son, Graeme, also helps in the shop. A special needs lad, he’s learning new skills and loves lending a hand a round the place.

It’s all about family – something that gives Mishie Madhatter Cafe a special vibe. Most of the food is homemade. A coffee and muffin can be had for just $5; with a croissant it’s $6. Sometimes soup is on the menu, other days it might be roast pork or a potato pie. Michelle loves cooking and baking so expect to taste that in the food. “One of our most popular dishes is
the lasagne, so much so that it’s now a permanent fixture on our menu,” she says. “Kids love it as much as the grown-ups – it’s a perfect winter-warmer.” A mum who recently visited the cafe with her daughter was thrilled with the hot chocolate served in “the cutest flamingo mug”. She said it was cheap at $5 and was “yummm”. She also commented that Michelle was so friendly and happy to have

a chat, something she appreciates amid the busyness of life. Yes, Michelle does love a chat – just another bit of wonder in Wonderland. Mishie Madhatter Cafe, 103 Evans Arcade, Sunbury. Opens 8am-5pm Wednesday-Sunday. Inquiries: 0421 505 428 Facebook: Mishie Madhatter Cafe

Designed and built by Perry Anastasiou in 2006, “uisneach” is on about 7500 square metres, with magnificent terraced gardens, stone walls, a pond and gorgeous plantings. A formal entry has a study to the left, then a tucked-away powder room (with shower) before double doors open to the glorious living hub with soaring vaulted ceiling and Cheminees Philippe fireplace. The living hub accesses a magnificent conservatory with glass pyramid ceiling. The glam and gorgeous kitchen has high-end Gaggenau and Miele appliances. A Victorian ash stairway heads up to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom has balcony access, picture windows, a walk-through robe and luxe dual-basin en suite. A Venmar air system, double-glazing, slab heating, split-system and town and tank water are included. Internal stairs head down to a basement double garage and workshop.
Steeped in history, ‘Macedon House’ is believed to have been built circa 1847 and operated for some time as the Mount Macedon Hotel. From about 1887 it functioned as a boarding and guest house for many years, and has since been used as a private house, restaurant, reception centre, bowling clubhouse and kindergarten. A rare surviving example of an early Victorian hotel, the building is noted on the Victorian Heritage Register and is currently in a state of disrepair. Specified works have been outlined by Heritage Victoria that need to be actioned to prevent further deterioration of the structure, and to return this grand old lady to her former glory. In a prominent location, at one of the entrance points to Gisborne township, this property is going to be a highpoint of the township once restored.

In a boutique development in the popular “old” section of Gisborne, Crefton Court is a spacious unit with three years on the clock and plenty of appeal for downsizers, young couples and commuters. The residence has two good-sized fitted bedrooms, the main with walk-in robe and en suite. The toilet and main bathroom are separate. As well as a tiled, north-facing family-meals space, there’s a carpeted lounge room with a wall of storage. The smart kitchen has loads of soft-close cupboards, a brekkie bench for three and stainless-steel appliances. Sliding doors open to a narrow verandah with steps down to a courtyard. Also worth noting are the white roller blinds on all windows, grey colour palette, a split-system, gas ducted heating and a remote-controlled garage with internal access. The shopping strip is five minutes away by foot.
Behind a cheery red door, there’s a lovely revamped residence that sits on about 1270 square metres at the end of a cul-de-sac. Entry is to a lounge room with split-system and new grey carpet, the same as laid in the three fitted bedrooms. The fully tiled bathroom has a modern vanity and shower. Wall paint in bone and pear-grey is new, as are the lovely bamboo floor planks in the kitchen-meals area that has a wood heater. The small but well-designed new kitchen has cream panelled cabinetry, with concealed drawers and pull-outs, an enamel butler’s sink with black tapware matching handles, dishwasher, underbench oven and induction cooktop. Out back, there’s a large concrete patio and several mature trees, a giant wattle a standout. A horseshoe driveway branches off each side to two sheds, one a Colorbond with mezzanine storage and wood heater.

terracotta-toned tiles as found inside the house. On the entry foyer’s right, bifolds open to a beige-carpeted lounge room, which connects with the tiled family room space. In turn, this links via an archway to the meals area and the kitchen tucked to the side. The kitchen, with street views from the sink window, has ample pale timber-look cupboards, cream laminate benchtops, open display shelves and a dishwasher and electric upright cooking range.
A glass slider, dressed in wide-format vertical blinds, opens from the family room to a tiled outdoor room with banks of windows admitting streams of light. One end is open to the backyard, the other to a large integrated double garage/workshop. The three fitted bedrooms are along a tiled hallway leading from the foyer, the main bedroom with elegant drapes under matching fabric pelmets. The main bathroom, with timber vanity and a heat lamp, is also along this hall, as

“IT’S A MAD WORLD” Recently our beautiful daughterr in-law was at a r“parent’s group” with our latest grandson - number 6 - when the parents were informed that, sadly, all “gender specific” toys were to be removed and replaced with non-gender specific toys - WHAT A ! AT
• As new band saw • As new mincer • Tw T o excellent display cabinets • Large rear preparation area in spotless condition • Lease is until 30 June 2019 • Option for two further terms of a two year lease • Side access/ parking • Rent at $440 per week inc GST
Could someone please explain this latest madness. What exactly is a non-gender specific toy and could we try, for a moment, to allow children to be children!
Situated in High Street with excellent parking and surrounded by popular and busy local traders, this butcher’s shop offfffers constant passing foot traffi f c and is ready for a new owner. ffi
As many of you know I was a teacher from the early 1970s - 1990s and have watched hundreds of children play and here is the reality; Boys play with dolls, tea sets, dress up. They also play with building blocks, trucks, cars, trains etc. Girls play with dolls, tea sets, dress up as well as building blocks, trucks, cars, trains etc.
Here is a unique opportunity to become your own boss in the beautiful, centrally located Lancefield. Make a move today to this busy and growing township and be the one and only butcher - don’t miss out.
I wonder if anyone remembers the sound track of “South Pacific” in which there is a song which states “you have to be taught to hate”. It seems to me that the world has gone completely mad and instead of allowing children to explore the world, to play, we are imposing restrictions and “brainwashing”. In this mad world, will we as agents be allowed to photograph a girl’s room if it is painted pink, or a boy’s room that has cars on the walls.
OPEN 7 DAYS
At a time when a little girl is brutally assaulted, when domestic violence is on the increase, are we missing the point altogether? Let’s take the time to teach respect and responsibility and let children be children! • Column supplied by Liz Dormontt. Liz is a director of Chess Property Consultants, based in Romsey.

Moving house? Take the right mindset with you Anyone who has moved house will have no argument with its inclusion in the top-10 list of stressful life events. In fact, it sits just one peg lower than losing your job. Unless you’re a masochist or stress-lovin’ freak, no one – that’s no one – relishes the idea of all the hassle involved in packing up a life and moving out. But amid all that angst and effort, there are some benefits you might not have considered. Here are four to think upon: 1. Just like snakes, we sometimes need to shed dead skin to reveal a fresh way of gliding into our new address. It’s a time to get rid of dead weight, such as the hooley-dooley exercise bike we never use; the collection of frogs we treasured back in the day; the bread-maker we imagined producing loaves of sourdough goodness … you get the drift. Get practical and ruthless: it’s time for the Great Declutter we’ve always wanted. Keep only what still reflects who you really are.
3. Moving can sometimes mean leaving old acquaintances behind which, while sad, also gives you a chance to make new ones. People often complain about boredom with their ‘known world’, so moving into the unknown can galvanise you. Treat the move like a teenage crush, look anew for the good
(iStock)
2. One of the upsides to moving is that it takes you out of your comfort zone. Even moving away from your fave cafe and shops is a challenge, but a good one. It can force you to make new neighbourhood connections, negotiate new friendships at the school pick-up gate, discover new cultural mores. Evelyn Waugh once said: “Change is the only evidence of life.”
in people, view it as a new slate upon which to write a fresh future. 4. The chance for a mental reset is probably the greatest benefit of all. Clearing
out the old home’s detritus, stepping out of your comfort zone and connecting with new people and places all work to reset a complacent or tired mind. Actually moving is one huge pain in the backside – but what
you might not realise is that you’re giving your mind a chance to start over, expand and play with fresh thinking. Carole Levy

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon
12367028-HM40-17
Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.” No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

Bulldogs hang on in nail-biter By Tara Murray Gisborne produced one of its best performances of the season to upset second-placed Eaglehawk in the Bendigo Football League. In a game where no more than two goals separated the two teams, it was the Bulldogs, who scraped across the line 13.12 (90)-13.8 (86). After trailing for most of the last quarter, the Bulldogs hit the front with a couple of minutes to go and were able to hold on. Bulldogs coach Clinton Young was pleased to see how his team bounced back after a disappointing showing in their last match against ladder-leaders Strathfieldsaye. “They [Strathfieldsaye] made us pay for our mistakes and we’ve learnt a lot from them. “We had two weeks to prepare for Eaglehawk. “We’re really grateful to get across the line. I’m proud of the boys … it was a good feeling post game with a lot of people around due to a past player’s day.” Young said the win showed how far the team had come this season with them now able to match it with the top sides for longer and longer. They’ve now won six of their past seven games and the confidence is growing among the playing group. “To start the year we lost four games straight,” Young said. “We were right in the game at half-time in all of those games. “We’ve really learnt from that and [are] competing for four quarters against the better teams in the competition.
Matthew Goodyear was a standout in the midfield for Gisborne. (Shawn Smits)

“There’s that willingness to persist and the effort is there for four quarters.” Matthew Goodyear, Thomas Wood, Jack Scanlon and Jaidyn Owen kicked two goals each for the Bulldogs. Young said Ethan Minns and Goodyear were the standouts, controlling the midfield. He said they had both been big inclusions this season. “They’re come back for different reasons this year. Ethan has had injuries the last couple of years, while Matt’s come back from the VFL. “They’re both young fellows.” Young was also full of praise for Josh Grabham, who is doing a good job in the ruck, in just his second season. The Bulldogs sit sixth, just percentage outside the top five. The win sets up a mouth-watering clash with arch rivals Kyneton this week. The Tigers enter the match on the back of a 23-point loss to Strathfieldsaye. The Storm led by 24 points at half-time and that proved to be the difference. Josh Govan was best for the Tigers. Young said he was looking forward to the challenge against another one of the top sides. “Kyneton at Kyneton,” he said. “I’m still learning about the rivalry, but no doubt two teams playing some good football, it will be a big day.” In the netball, Gisborne had a 68-48 upset win against Eaglehawk. The Bulldogs won the first three quarters, before the teams had an even last quarter. The Bulldogs now sit four points behind Eaglehawk, which is in second.

Bulldogs making their own way
Gisborne’s Brianna Woodburn. (Marco De Luca)
Gisborne has closed the gap between it and the top sides in the AFL Goldfield’s Women’s competition. The Bulldogs were easily beaten the first time they faced undefeated ladder-leaders Redan, but it was a much closer affair when the two teams faced off on Sunday. While Redan still had a 6-8 (44)-1.2 (8) win, the Bulldogs stuck with them until half-time. Speaking before the match, Bulldogs’ coach Anthony Carrigg said the team would take a lot out the game with Redan and it’s next game against second-placed East Point. He said the team would look to try things that might help them come finals time. “It’ll give us some idea how to play them,” he said. “We played them early in the season and we hadn’t gelled together then. “We’ve [since] learned where they can play and what they are capable of.
“We’ll go out there with our minds on the job and the results might be closer.” Despite the loss, the Bulldogs remain in fourth place. Carrigg said it was a fair assessment of where they are at. “I reckon when you look at the teams we’ve played, especially with the injuries, that’s about where we are at the moment. “We’ve had a few players out, which isn’t helping us. Hopefully we’ll get a few girls back to help prop the team back up. “We’re back to having 18 players, it would be ideal to have at least 20. “We haven’t had the luxury of having a bench.” Carrigg said despite the injuries, he had been thrilled with how the side had played this season. Last season they played finals in division
Cats go on goal spree By Tara Murray Everything is starting to click for Macedon as it hits the pointy end of the Riddell District Netball League season. While the Cats sit undefeated on top of the ladder, they are yet to play their best netball. They showed glimpses of their best on Saturday with a 70-40 win against fourth-placed Riddell. Cats’ coach Ciara Stewart said she, like many, was surprised by the margin. Riddell has been a side that has pushed the Cats in previous years. “I thought it would have been a lot closer and a fight to the death,” Stewart said. “We got off to a pretty good start … it’s the first game for the year we’ve started well. “They gave us direct ball use. They were making mistakes and we were making very few. “I think we missed five goals for the game and our errors were low. “Everyone played well and the conditions were set for us.” The Cats used the advantage of a big margin to change combinations, with only two players playing one position the whole game. Working on combinations, not game results, has been a key for Stewart all season. “It’s not about getting the wins,” she said. “We’re happy to drop a game or two if we’re trying things and got all bases covered. “But we’re still winning and winning against the good sides.” B-graders Karyn Szulc and Ashlee Coxhell came on late in the game to get more experience in the top grade. Stewart was thrilled with the performance of Katie Clarke and being able to restrict the impact of Bec Colwell. She said the flexibility in the mid court had been the biggest improvement from last season, when the side went through undefeated but went out in straight sets in the finals. The Cats sit 10 points clear of Rupertswood on top of the ladder and this week face Romsey in the first week of a split round. The Redbacks played in another thriller at the weekend, this time coming home with a 43-41 win against Rockbank. After leading by six goals at half-time, the Redbacks watched as the Rams levelled the scores by three-quarter time. But an 11-9 goal last quarter sealed the win for the Redbacks. Chelsea Ross shot 31 goals from 36 attempts. In other games, Rupertswood defeated Diggers Rest 50-29, Woodend-Hesket upset Melton Centrals winning 42-38, while Wallan smashed Broadford 64-21.
2, this year they are fourth in a division one competition. He said every player who had stepped on the field, including some youth league players, had improved. “It’s amazing how the team has gelled together, it’s been a really even spread. We picked up a couple of former Port Melbourne players and it makes a difference. I’m very happy.” There is three rounds left before finals, with the Bulldogs having a bye in the final round. Carrigg said he had heard the finals system was the same as that used last year, with the top five teams playing finals. He said he didn’t want to make any predictions of what the Bulldogs could do. “Anything can happen in finals,” he said. Tara Murray
Hawks level the playing field Woodend-Hesket held off a fast-finishing Melton Centrals to get a third win for the Riddell District Netball League season. After a tough few weeks with players away and a season-ending injury to Sarah Duff, the Hawks showed what they could do on Saturday. They dominated the first three quarters to go into the last with an 11-goal lead. Centrals responded, but it was too little, too late with the Hawks winning 42-38. Hawks’ coach Wendy Roberts was thrilled with the win. “It’s been an interesting couple of weeks,” she said. “Sarah Duff tore her ACL in a non-related knee injury. She was our avenue forward in wing attack. “We’ve been able to regroup and focus on the rest of the season.” Roberts said while they would focus on the positives of the first three quarters, they were likely to forgot about the last quarter. “We had Brittany Bowen, Mackenzie Brown, Abbey Glassey and Tara Burnip all play in under-19s too. “It [A-grade] was their second game for the day, so they did a lot of running. “The last quarter you could see they were getting tired.” While it was a disappointing last quarter, Roberts said being able to hold on for the win showed how far they had come. “It’s about decreasing the margins. Last time we played against Centrals we lost by 15 or 16 goals. We need to decrease those margins and see what happens. “The girls are starting to believe in what they can do. They have to not get complacent and keep doing the work. “The girls are starting to believe in what they can do. They have to not get complacent and keep doing the work. “They’ve got to keep working away.” Tara Burnip shot 24 goals in her return to the side and combined nicely with Madeline Staresina. This week Woodend-Hesket will face bottom side Broadford. Other round were Romsey, Rupertswood, Macedon and Wallan. Tara Murray

Sunbury gets the job done in scrappy game
Dylan Landt continues to shine playing on the wing for the Lions. (Shawn Smits)
It wasn’t pretty, but the Sunbury Lions got a much-needed win in the Ballarat Football League. Having lost four of their past six games, the Lions couldn’t afford to drop Saturday’s game against second bottom side Melton South. The Panthers took it up to the Lions early on and had a three goal lead at quarter-time. But the Lions took the lead late in the second quarter and stayed in front for the rest of the game, winning 14.12 (96)-9.16 (70). Lions coach Ben Jordan was relieved to get the win, though not overly impressed with how they did it. “It wasn’t a great game of footy, there was a lot of errors,” he said. “It was a scrappy game … and we were happy to get over the line and get the four points. “Our work rate lifted after the first quarter and we hit the front in the second quarter. “The second half we out-worked them.
We were happy with the win, but not the execution.” Jordan said they couldn’t keep giving away leads like they did on Saturday, as the better teams will punish them. With eight teams still in the mix for finals, every result is vital. “Nothing is locked in,” he said. “It was one of those games we had to get the job done. We have to keep on winning.” Ben Guthrie kicked three goals for the Lions and was one of their best. Jordan said Dylan Landt starred and his good form had been rewarded, with the 19-year-old now training with Essendon’s VFL side. Other good players were Nathan Bridgland, Corey Hansen, Jack Landt and Patrick MacDonough. The win sees the Lions move to fourth. The closeness of the competition means just eight points separates second and eighth.
The Lions this week face big improvers Redan. Making the Lions’ challenge harder, they are yet to win in Ballarat in three attempts this season. “We have to get one on the board,” Jordan said. “That’s where most of the finals will be played.” Jordan said he was hopeful of getting some senior players back in the next three weeks. At the weekend they had 13 players out through injury, unavailability or VFL commitments. He said Grant Valles and Aaron Christensen were among the most likely to be available first. In the A-grade netball, the Lions defeated Melton South 49-39. Renee Hulls, up from B-grade and Ruth Smith, shared the goals with 25 and 24 a piece. Lauren Gilcrist was named the Lions’ best.

The league last week announced that it had moved the last day of the season from Romsey Park, where it had been held the past four years, to Clarke Oval. League operations manager Jordan Doyle said the clubs expressed a desire to have grand final day at a neutral ground. All the other finals will be played at either Clarke Oval or Romsey Park.

Lochie Muir gets a handball out ahead of the pack. (Damian Visentini)
Sharks win a thriller By Tara Murray Four appears to be Rupertswood’s magic number against Diggers Rest in the Riddell District Football League. After beating the Burras by four points earlier in the season, it was a case of déjà vu for the Sharks on Saturday. The Sharks took control of the game in the second quarter, but had a battle on their hands after the break. The teams traded the lead several times from late in the third quarter until the final siren, the Sharks getting up 13.8 (86)-12.10 (82). Sharks’ coach Nick Ash was thrilled to get the win. “They are a really good side and they have got a lot of good players and experienced players,” he said. “Both sides had a few out today … We’re pretty big on when one soldier goes out another one comes in and does a role.” Ash said the most pleasing thing was the way the side responded when challenged in the second half. 30 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 17, 2018
The Sharks were able to increase the pressure with and without the ball when they needed to. “They hit the front twice, once in the third quarter and once in the last quarter,” he said. “The good thing for us, we didn’t put our heads down and think the game was too tough and throw in the towel. “We continued to go and continued to work the ball forward. The effort is there, we’ll take the four points for sure.” Todd and Dylan Podolczak kicked three goals apiece for the Sharks. Todd, who sits third in the league goalkicking, spent much of the game up the ground, showing the flexibility of the side. Ash said while it was a team effort, Cam McRorie played his best game for the season, Lochie Muir and David Morrice were strong in the packs, while John Barnard, Leigh Wellington, Damon Cerini and Nash Egan all had good games. Another good sign for the Sharks – the win came without several of their stars. Brent Swallow, Brett Chambers and Dean Putt were among those missing.
Ash said they not only had players able to step up into the senior side, but they had plenty of other leaders on the field. “We’ve got a squad of nearly 30 blokes,” he said. “We’ve had 42 play senior football throughout the year. “We believe we have a strong list and we can call on players from the reserves and under-18s.” Ash said Swallow was likely to return this week, Chambers in the second last game of the season and Putt, the second or third last game. He said they wouldn’t rush their returns and that all three would likely play through the reserves first. “It’s the culture we’re trying to set, no one is more important than the team.” In other results, Riddell defeated Macedon by two points, 6.14 (50)-7.6 (48) and Wallan overcame a slow start to beat the Sunbury Kangaroos 17.14 (116)-8.10 (58). Lancefield made it two wins in a row, defeating Broadford 12.10 (82)-8.9 (57), while Romsey defeated Rockbank 23.20 (168)-4.2 (26).
Sunbury United’s tough run has continued with a third straight loss in FFV state league 3 north-west. Sunbury was able to control the ball for large periods of time, but couldn’t score against Upfield in the 1-0 loss. United has slipped to sixth, but has a game in hand. Gisborne got a much-needed win in state league 5 west against Melbourne Lions, winning 7-0. Despite the win, Gisborne remains in third.

The Sunbury Kangaroos and Sunbury Lions will enter the Essendon District Football League Women’s competition finals on different notes. The Kangaroos, who finished third, defeated Strathmore, while the Sunbury Lions lost to Aberfeldie. It means the Kangaroos will face Burnside Heights and Sunbury Lions will play Keilor in the first week of finals. Meanwhile, in men’s division 2, East Sunbury returned to the winners’ list after four straight losses. The Thunder sit third, just a game off top spot.

RESIDENT TESTIMONIAL “We moved to Bellbrook in 2015. It’s been one of the best and exciting things we have done. My husband still works.
• 2 or 3 bedroom homes up to 21 squares • No stamp duty to pay!
The people make this place. We have a great life outside of the Village but the community here is just brilliant. We have so many new friends and lifestyle choices, including Cards and pool nights every Wednesday and happy hours on a Friday. Downsizing has given us freedom and we love our open plan home. Our family agree that we have never been so relaxed and happy. The Village is beautifully maintained, we have wonderful neighbours, security and we are all like minded.”
