Liam loves the fast lane
(Damjan Janevski)
A Sunbury athlete is jumping for joy. Liam, 10, has been selected for TeamVic to compete at the School Sport Australia Track and Field Championships in Darwin in September. Liam said he was looking forward to representing his state and the Sunbury Little Athletics Centre at the championships. “In Darwin, I’m going to compete in 100 metres [relay], long jump and four by 100 metres relay,” he said. “I am feeling happy and excited.” Liam is no stranger to competition. He won gold at the State Little Athletics Championships for the 70 metres relay and bronze in the 100 metres relay. Liam’s dad, Paul Joyce, said he was proud of his son. “It’s a huge honour for him to be representing Victoria and Sunbury … it’s a big thing for the little athletics club as well,” he said. “He loves the sport. He’s obviously good at it and we just encourage him to do his best and enjoy it. He doesn’t have a coach at the moment … we more push the enjoyment side of things.” Sunbury Little Athletics Centre vice-president Brooke Rennie presented Liam with a $500 cheque to assist with costs for the Darwin event.

Golf club in land sell bid By Jessica Micallef Kyneton Golf Club is considering selling a significant parcel of its land to a developer. Club committee members voted on Saturday night to advance to the next stage of the potential sale of part of the golf club’s land to developer GemLife. GemLife provides what it calls “independent living for over-50s”. Club president Adrian Hanks said 65 committee members attended a closed meeting on Saturday night, voting by show of hands on the GemLife proposal. “A vote was put forward [and] only one

person voted against it and now it goes through to the next stage,” he said. “The next stage will be then taking it to council. “It’s still a proposal – there’s still no contract signed, there’s nothing legally binding.” Mr Hanks said the potential sale would “secure the future of the golf club”. A plan obtained by Star Weekly shows 172
dwellings to be built on the golf club’s land, with modifications to be made to existing greens and new greens to be created. Mr Hanks did not disclose how much land was for sale. A Kyneton resident, who wished to remain anonymous, told Star Weekly it was a “drastic action” to sell part of the golf club and that there were alternatives. “The wildlife suffers, the people that live in a rural area – that have come out here for that purpose – suffer,” the resident said. “This is rural living, this is nowhere near town. “The roads can’t handle that. When you pull
out of Blackhill Road on to Baynton Road, it is very dangerous. “How about the community pulls together and save the golf course? “How about getting to the schools and try and get a government grant to promote girls in sport? They just think it’s easier to sell off a chunk of land.” Founded in 1900, the club was originally located at Three Chain Road, Kyneton, before moving to Baynton Road in 1909. The club was forced to find a new site in 1949 after 115 acres of leased land was sold. The club then bought 152 acres at Blackhill Road, its current location.

Budget money for sports hub The long-awaited Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct in New Gisborne has been funded in the state budget. The state government has allocated $11.6 million, as part of its 2019-20 budget released last Monday. The money will go towards construction of an indoor sports stadium, sport fields and tennis and netball courts. More than $3 million will go to building new music rooms, upgraded oval and outdoor learning areas at New Gisborne Primary School. Additional paramedics will be based at the Gisborne ambulance station and $718,000 will be spent on Romsey Ecotherapy Park. The budget allocates $2.1 billion to help transform train services on the Sunbury line. Eric Boardman Reserve in Sunbury will get a $2 million upgrade to its pavilion and Langama Park’s second pavilion will undergo a $1 million redevelopment. Jessica Micallef
Wildlife safety sign push
Kelsey finds her way By Jessica Micallef Kelsey Carlisle’s zest for life is inspirational. Kelsey, 22, and her twin sister, Kelly, were born prematurely at 24 weeks at the Royal Women’s Hospital. The sisters were given a three per cent chance of survival. Kelsey had 11 blood transfusions, her lungs frequently collapsed and she was placed in an induced coma. As the Sunbury twins grew up, Kelsey said their premature births had an ongoing impact. “It came with a mild intellectual disability,” she said. “We were both diagnosed with that condition 10 years ago. It affected my social skills. I struggled to make new friends. “It sucked, but mum always said, ‘Don’t let your disability define who you are’.” Kelsey took those words to heart. She went to university then applied for a job with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal with help from disability employment service Workways. “I applied at RMIT University for an advanced diploma in legal practice,” she said. “[Then] my performance manager from Workways called
me up saying, ‘There’s a position at VCAT’ and I said, ‘Put my name down please’. “It was a big process for me. Going into the interview was really nerve-wracking, but I wowed VCAT.” Kelsey now works as an administrative officer for VCAT. She said her employment was her way of proving people wrong. “Back in school, teachers told my sister and I that we won’t be able to do anything because of our disability,” she said. “That really affected us until we turned around and said we are not going to let this effect us any more. “If you have a passion for something, your passion could lead you anywhere. “I think of myself as an advocate, as a voice. I see people with disabilities and I can see they struggle to find a job because in a job application they ask if you have a disability. You write what that is and you get rejected. “I just think it’s wrong. You can’t help something you are born with. “All I wanted was to be understood. People understand who I am … not what I am born with.”

A Hepburn councillor is calling for towns, including those in the Macedon Ranges, to erect signs to encourage drivers to slow down on roads with high levels of wildlife. Cr Licia Kokocinski was responding to calls from a Cherokee resident last week to introduce dual speed zones on some roads. John Power told Star Weekly he wanted dusk-to-dawn dual speed zones in areas of high wildlife activity. Cr Kokocinski said the idea had merit, but wasn’t enforceable in the fight against animal roadkill levels in the region, which she described as “pretty horrific”. “Different speed zones already cause confusion and cynicism among drivers,” she said. “Another option may be to lobby cafes and other eateries where people generally congregate on day trips, to have messages on windows and on the back of advertising to remind patrons of why they love coming through these beautiful areas.” Jessica Micallef

Bank cash a winner Community and sports groups across the Macedon Ranges have a million reasons to be happy. With its latest round of community funding, Gisborne Bendigo Bank has passed the milestone of making more than $1 million worth of grants to the area. Branch manager Sarah Barton said she was thrilled the bank was able to support many local initiatives. “It is so exciting to be able to give back to the community and help so many groups deliver their projects,” she said. “Our customers should feel very proud as it is their banking that has made this amazing result possible.” The money has helped more than 100 community groups deliver more than 250
projects in Gisborne, Macedon and Riddells Creek. They have included a mental health hub at Macedon Ranges Health, an electronic scoreboard at Gardiner Reserve in Gisborne, new playground equipment at Riddells Creek Lions Park and lighting upgrades at Tony Clarke Reserve in Macedon. More than 10 projects were awarded funding last month, taking the total community contributions by the bank branch to $1,040,000. Branch chairman Graham Stewart said he had his sights set on reaching $2 million. “The next major community investment milestone could be reached in a few years,” he said. Jessica Micallef

Green light for netball upgrade By Jessica Micallef Sunbury netballers are a step closer to playing on a new court. An application to build a new netball court with lighting and shelters at Sunbury Recreation Reserve has been approved. Upgrades to lighting at the existing netball court will also go ahead. Sunbury Netball Club assistant secretary Brian O’Loughlin said the extra court was long overdue. “The netball participation in our area has

increased rapidly,” he said. “We had two teams in 2011 and now we have a total of 11 teams … we only have one court. “On game days, we have to schedule a total of six netball games in one day which is a very difficult thing to do because they take about an
hour and 20 minutes. “The night games are impossible to run because the lighting is not adequate. “The netball court is not up to the standard of most other teams.” Cr Jack Medcraft put forward a motion during last Monday’s Hume council meeting to approve building of a new netball court. He said it was important females were provided with the same sport facilities as men. “I’ve seen these courts and, being involved with the club for many years, the standard of the court is abysmal when you consider it
to courts in Romsey for instance,” he said. “They’ve got the facilities for a stand, so finals can be held. “If we are going to be fair to the female participants, they should be allowed to play on the best courts. Footballers do – the netballers should have the same rights. We won’t leave any stone unturned to get the money we need for this court.” Council will apply for a $100,000 Sport Recreation Victoria grant to fund the court project. An additional $140,000 will be allocated in the council’s 2019-20 budget.
Big deal for Little Aths and easier to handle for our volunteers. Having modern, quality equipment will provide our athletes with a greater opportunity to achieve their personal bests each week. “What Coles is doing is an amazing thing … especially for smaller clubs.” Jessica Micallef

Penny and Phil Chote will participate in Stadium Stomp. (Marco De Luca)
Stepping up for charity Penny and Philip Chote will stomp at nothing to make a difference to families living in an African village. The Kyneton wife and husband will band together and take on the Stadium Stomp charity event later this month. Ms Chote said they were taking part in the challenge to raise $500 for Ugandan village Buwagogo. “My husband and I are doing it together to raise money for a not-for-profit organisation that we are a part of – it’s called Musaale,” she said. “That supports a village in Uganda. “The main purpose of our fundraising this
time is to raise money for an 18-year-old guy in the village who has an infection in a bone in his leg that we had to pay to get an operation on. “So we are just raising money for that operation at the moment.” This year’s charity event is the first time the pair will climb the four levels of the MCG. “I’m going to struggle a bit more but I am looking forward to the challenge,” she said. Ms Chote and her husband will climb the MCG stairs on June 30. Details: stadiumstomp.com and musaale.org Jessica Micallef

Turmeric Said to have turned up in the notes of Marco Polo himself, Turmeric seems to be just about everywhere these days, with its medicinal potential drawing interest. Scientists studying turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin, have found that it has some anti-inflammatory attributes that are effective in helping to calm indigestion, ease stomach ulcers and treat irritable bowel syndrome.

The gold-hued spice has also set the medical science world aflutter with promising indications that it may help lower the risk of dementia and control type two diabetes. So, will a turmeric latte a day suffice? Hardly. Getting the safe optimal medicinal dose of turmeric can be a gamble, so scientists recommend getting the advice of doctors and pharmacists first.

PROVIDING EXCELLENT EYE CARE FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
It’s all about community and care at Sunbury Eye Surgeons (Damjan Janevski)
The three doctors who established Sunbury Eye Surgeons four years ago say they are here to stay. They are already looking toward celebrating their golden jubilee year, such is their longterm commitment to residents of Sunbury and surrounding areas. Those three doctors are Dr Nima Pakrou, Dr Christolyn Raj and Dr Heathcote Wright. During the time that Dr Nima and Dr Christolyn completed their training in hospitals serving the Sunbury region, they discovered a need for a highquality local ophthalmology practice, especially given the many families and elderly people who found travel into the city problematic. The pair decided to team up with Dr Heathcote to open Sunbury Eye Surgeons, with the aim of delivering excellent eyecare at an affordable price. Practice manager Rebecca Sacco says the vibrant, popular clinic is well-staffed and patient-friendly. “As sub-speciality doctors, Nima, Christolyn and Heathcote have brought a high-level, evidence-
based eyecare service to town, offering cataract/ refractive surgery, oculoplastics, medical retina and paedriatic eyecare,” Rebecca explains. “Our doctors want to be fully available to their community so they’re all here every week, meeting patients and making them feel comfortable and relaxed. Our entire team, from reception to administration to clinician, locals all of us – embraced from the beginning the belief that strength comes from community. We all care and we like to show it.”
What’s at the clinic? The clinic has outpatient rooms and a spankingnew treatment centre, while surgical procedures are performed at Sunbury Day Hospital in Macedon Street. Intravitreal injections are bulk billed, and cataract surgery packages include initial consultation. A referral from an optometrist or GP is required prior to an appointment.
What is the future? Dr Nima says they’re hoping to see the clinic
grow but without jeopardising the personal touch. “We really value the rapport we’ve developed with our community and we want to see that flourish. We choose only the best people to work with us, people who are not only talented but also believe in the importance of strong community,” Dr Nima says. “And, of course as we move into the future, we’ll keep focused on giving our patients the best.”
What’s needed for optimal eye health? “Eye health can be overlooked as an important part of general health,” Dr Nima says. “It’s actually relatively easy to take care of your eyes. The most important thing to do is to have regular eye checks with a local optometrist, especially older people who can experience glaucoma or macular degeneration.” Sunbury Eye Surgeons, 11 Neill Street, Sunbury.

“When We Were Young” When we were young Superannuation seemed a good idea - employers would contribute and we could salary sacrifice - how wonderful, we would be comfortable until the end of our days. Things have certainly changed; with the stock market in free-fall and superannuation funds diminishing, many will face a very precarious future indeed and it seems that noone is accountable! Apparently, superannuation is a calculated risk. Risk is fine when young-not so fine as we grow older. r I watched with great interest Greek and r. Italian families in the early 70’s who bought houses, one for the whole family, one for Grandma & Grandpa, one for Uncle & Aunty etc. My teaching career started in the (predominantly Italian) Moonee Ponds in the 70’s. Bricks & Mortar was the dream and hard work not an issue, they did not depend on superannuation but made their own futures. From there I moved to Box Hill and then to Burnley - 86% Greek and once again hard work acquired their property. Richmond & Burnley were innerr suburban working class areas rand were aff f ordable - don’t we wish we had invested ff in these areas instead of salary sacrificing for super. r r. I am not a Financial advisor, r nor an economist and r, certainly no expect on financial matters but it seems to me that bricks & mortar is a safe option. The market is softening, it is no longer a “property boom” but in spite of this bricks & mortar is still an excellent long r r. term investment we have some control over. When we were young, risks were fine. For the young who have superannuation, it will correct itself in time, just be prepared for an uncertain short-term future. For those who are not so young, perhaps consider spreading those financial “eggs” into several baskets and look at bricks & mortar as a great option. • Column supplied by Liz Dormontt.

SPORT Young Riddell side holds it own against league leaders Riddell put in a solid performance against the ladder leading Rupertswood on Saturday in the Riddell District Netball League. In their biggest test this season, the Bombers showed some positive signs. While the scoreboard showed a 56-37 loss, Bombers playing coach Lauren Close was happy with how her side played. “They [Rupertswood] are the team to beat this year,” she said. “We were pretty happy with what we put out there. After quarter-time, I thought it was pretty even, though the scores didn’t reflect that. “There was no big blow out.” Close said the pleasing thing for her side this year had been the young talent that is coming through. She is keen to give the younger girls a go and said they were seeing real positive signs despite the up and down nature of the season. “There’s some pretty young girls coming through and they were up for the fight.
“By the end of the season, they will get it altogether.” Close said the younger players stepping up had taken some of the pressure off her on court. She said it was good to be able to spend some time coaching from the sidelines. “Kirby Elliott is holding down the defensive end with Melinda Luke. “I think I’ve played half a game each week. I’ve had a niggling foot injury, so it’s been good for that.” Close said goaler Larissa Rix was another player who had stepped up when given the opportunity. After finally getting their full team together the past couple of weeks, Riddell is set to have changes again the next few weeks. Luke is set to miss a couple of weeks with an ankle injury, while Ellen Close is heading overseas for five weeks. “We’ve only had our full team the last couple of weeks, so we’ve been able to rotate through some girls,” Lauren Close said.
“They know what they are up against if called upon again.” Close said they were continuing to build each week. The Bombers sit sixth with a 2-3-1 record. This week they face another young side in Woodend-Hesket. In other results, Broadford got its first A-grade win since 2016, beating Lancefield 58-25. Both sides entered the match without a win, but it was the Kangaroos who fired early to get an early lead. Wallan beat Woodend-Hesket 49-26, Romsey was too strong for Melton Centrals winning 66-37 and Diggers Rest was too good for Rockbank, winning 47-32.

Sharks get one back By Tara Murray Rupertswood claimed an important win against Riddell in the Riddell District Football League on the weekend. Having lost to the Bombers twice last season, the Sharks were keen to get one back. The Sharks led at every break and while they were never able to fully break away they did enough to win 13.9 (87)-8.9 (57). Sharks coach Nick Ash was pretty happy with the result. “It was a good win, a good team performance,” he said. “We played some good football. There were times both teams had some momentum, they missed some gettable goals that would have got them closer at stages. “The game never blew out past five goals.” Nick Grigg and Matthew Knight kicked four goals each. Those four take Grigg’s total to 29 goals in seven matches, placing him third on the league goalkicking table. Last year he kicked 23 goals in eight games after coming across mid season. “It’s always hard coming to a different club mid season,” Ash said of Grigg. “He had two or three trainings and then had to go out there and perform. “He could have given up footy but he still had the hunger and we were lucky to get him. “He then signed on for this year. He’s a really good bloke and fitted in really well.” Knight and Lochie Muir were named best on ground, but it was two of the younger players that impressed Ash. “Bailey Marshall, in his fourth game, was really good. His development over the last 12 months has been exceptional. “We’ve put a lot of time into him and the other under-19s. It was the best of his four games. “Patrick Scanlon has now played three games in a row in the seniors, played a really solid game. “The younger players are getting opportunities and making the most of them.” The win moves the Sharks into third spot with a 5-2 record. Ash said they had been in every game this season. “The games we’ve lost, we’ve been in winnable positions. “The Romsey game, they would have thought they could have won that. “We’ve played the rest of the teams from the top six last season. “We’ve still got to play four or five of those 14 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 4, 2019

Sunbury United has overcome a turbulent week off field to come away with its best win of the FFV state league 3 north-west season. Sunbury was stripped of all 10 of its points from the first five rounds, after being found to have played an ineligible player. A statement on the club’s Facebook page, said the club “wholeheartedly deny any instance of wrongdoing” and are in discussions with the federation to resolve the matter. Putting that to the side, Sunbury defeated Westvale 5-0 on Saturday. Sunbury scored once in the first half, before four second half goals. The last two came while they were a man down after Steven Everett was given a red card.

Jets roar into contention By Tara Murray Sunbury Jets’ hot streak in the Big V men’s division 1 competition has continued with a hard-fought win against the Collingwood All Stars. Having lost to the All Stars the last time the two teams met, the Jets were keen to get one back over them. In a close game all night, the Jets came away with the win, 89-85. Jets coach Ryan Addison said it was a match they were keen on winning. “It was one of those things that it was going to take some time to play some better basketball,” he said. “It was good to get the win over them. We were missing Arthur Trousdell and a couple of other guys have injuries. “We were able to sort it out late in the game and played some really good basketball.” The Jets shared the scoring around as six players, including all five starters, scored double figures. Addison said making sure they were unpredictable at the scoring end was something they wanted to focus on. “We want to feed the hot hand. The guys are taking to it and are happy to do that.” Not for the first time this season, Ish Sanders was the standout. Sanders, who scored 35 points on Saturday night, is now averaging 28.29 points a game, second most in the division. Addison said like the team, Sanders was getting better as the season goes on. “It has been coming,” he said of Sanders’ form. “It’s a different group to last time he was here. It’s taken some time to fit in and while he hasn’t had any bad games, he’s starting to have those high scoring games.” The win, the Jets’ seventh in a row, cements their spot at the top of the table as the competition heads into a bye weekend. It has been a number of years since the Jets have found themselves in first spot, let alone won that many matches in a row. Addison said while he thought they would be among the top-four teams come season’s end, he was thrilled with how they’ve performed so far. “If we could lock in top spot, it would put us in good stead come finals. But there’s a lot of basketball to come before we think about that.” It was a good night all round for the Jets as their women’s side had a strong win against the Keilor Thunder. The Jets did the damage in the middle two quarters in the 72-60 win. Lynn Leaupepe top scored for the Jets with 15 points, as they spread the scoring around. The win is their seventh in a row.

Lions shake off slow start The Sunbury Lions enjoyed a strong win against Melton on Saturday – and produced their best performance of the Ballarat Football League season. Returning to their home ground, where they are yet to lose this season, the Lions showed that when they play their best football they can match it with anyone. After trailing at half-time, the Lions started to have an impact on the scoreboard. Once they started to kick straight, in the final quarter, the Lions ran away with a 13.16 (94)-7.10 (52) win. Lions coach Travis Hodgson said his players had been wasteful early in the game. “We had control of the game and could have quite easily been in front at half-time,” he said. “We started to get reward in the second half. The last quarter we kicked 7.2 and the first five shots were goals. When you finish the work, you put the scoreboard pressure on.” Hodgson said there were two areas in which the Lions had stepped up. “We defended a lot better than we had in previous weeks,” he said. “We also had a lot more pressure on the ball, which makes it easier defensively.” Skipper Andrew Duhau kicked three goals up forward. Hodgson said Lachie Bramble, Mitch Conn and Alik Magin were again standouts. He said the difference was that the other players stood up alongside them. “Mick Edwards played a really important role and he had been quiet for most of the year,” he said. “Greg Hay played his best game that I had seen and Dylan and Jack Landt were both good. It was hard to name our best.” The win leaves the Lions a 3-3 record. Hodgson said they would like to get ahead of the ledger for the first time this season. The challenge this week is a tough one – playing Lake Wendouree. The Lions haven’t won on the road in more than 12 months and it’s two years since they won in Ballarat. “We look at it as an opportunity,” he said. “If we get a win this week it will launch our season – and if we can win in Ballarat, we are capable of winning anywhere.” Tara Murray

Sunbury turf tactics mean a move to greener pastures Sunbury Cricket Club is moving its top sides to the Victorian Turf Cricket Association. The Roar, which has had all its sides in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association, will move its top two sides to the VTCA – and its turf wickets – from the 2019-20 season. The rest of the teams, senior and junior, will remain in the GDCA. Roar president Brendan Doyle said the move was the best thing for the club and was something that had been looked at in previous years. “Over the past two and half seasons, the Sunbury Cricket Club has been a little concerned about the direction the GDCA’s McIntyre Cup is going,” Doyle said. “Last year a number of teams withdrew, which made the division compromised. “It’s a competitive town and it’s getting harder and harder to try and recruit players to be competitive in the GDCA. This is exciting
Sunbury’s top sides will play in the VTCA next season. (Tara Murray)
… we believe this is something that will ensure the longevity of the club, which is 150 years old.” The move will give the Roar a point of
difference within Sunbury, with the town’s other four clubs all in the GDCA. Doyle said one of the main reasons for the move was player retention. “We have a strong junior division, but even at the age of 15 they are talking about moving as they want to play on turf wickets,” he said. “We’re going to continue to bring through the youth and they will now get the experience on turf. “At the end of the day, this is beneficial for Sunbury and the Sunbury community, which has needed this for some time.” Sunbury is in talks with Hume council about getting a turf wicket installed at Clarke Oval. Until that happens, the Roar will play home matches at Coolaroo’s Progress Reserve, for which Hume council is in the process of putting together a redevelopment plan. Progress Reserve has four turf wickets. Doyle said the VTCA had been very
supportive of the club’s efforts to switch associations. Despite his club moving its top two sides from the GDCA, Doyle said Sunbury would continue to have a big presence in the association. Doyle said early reaction had been positive and he said there were hopes the move would help attract players to the club. The club is in the process of appointing a coach. Doyle said the club was hoping the move to turf would also help in the club’s quest for a women’s team, which would also play on turf. He said that since the announcement, there had been some interest in coaching a women’s side. “The interest last year was excellent,” he said. “But the common question was, ‘Do you play on turf?’ Without having a turf wicket, we weren’t able to get the side up.” Tara Murray 15 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ JUNE 4, 2019
