Proactive policing is largely responsible for a massive spike in
drug busts around Gisborne over the past ve years, the areas top
cop believes.
A Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) report released last week lists
Gisborne as regional Victorias top spot for oence rates per 100,000
people at 1743, they have quadrupled from 425 in 2011.
e report also noted that drug-use rates in country areas were no
longer dierent
Drug busts on the risefrom those recorded in metropolitan areas.
However, Macedon Ranges police inspector Ryan Irwin said extra sta
and improved techniques were a factor in the increase from 2011
until this year.
eres certainly been an increase, but I wouldnt think it has been
anywhere near that dramatic in terms of the amount of drugs that
are out there, Inspector Irwin said.
Its the result of a lot of proactive work. Police are out there
pulling cars over, checking them and nding this stu. e other part
is that since the emergence of ice in the past couple of
years, theres been a real focus. Inspector Irwin said night shi
crews had been instructed to check everything that moves in
response to burglaries and thes on commercial premises.
Because of that, theyre doing a lot of vehicle intercepts, he
said.
Whats a little more comforting is a lot of
the arrests are people from outside the area.Inspector Irwin
said the Macedon Ranges
Safety Committees eorts to create a regional ice strategy had
been delayed slightly due to Octobers Lanceeld bushre, but they
would be completed next year.
at will include how we continue to raise awareness, he said.
You wont stop the people who get to the point of addiction
through enforcement alone.
But education about the risks and how to get help once you get
in that [drug] cycle thats the key.
You wont stop the people who get to the point of addiction -

eliminate inequality between men and women could help solve the
problem.
Gender inequality and poor attitudes towards women are one of
the key underlying causes of family violence, Ms Richardson
said.
Ms Spence said emergency housing needed major investment.
Every day, the places in Bendigo are full, the places in
Melbourne are full, Ms Spence said. eres just nowhere for women
escaping family violence to go. Funding has to stop being an
excuse.
Also on Friday, organisations helping schools teach students
about healthy relationships were given a boost, with Ms Richardson
announcing
By Matt Crossman
What price do we put on a life? at was the question posed by a
family violence survivor at a community forum in Kyneton on
Friday.
Woodends Belinda Spence was among more than 50 people who took
part in the forum, held as part of the state governments month-long
Victoria Against Violence campaign.
Counsellors, teachers, students and MPs, including Family
Violence Prevention Minister Fiona Richardson and Macedon MP
Mary-Anne omas, were also involved in the event, titled Lets Talk
About Respect. Ms Spence said it was a good chance to
dispel myths about the problem that aected thousands of
Victorian women every day. Its not always physical: in my case it
was emotional abuse, control and isolation, she said.
Ms Spence said that when her former partner, who has since died,
couldnt get to her he stalked her on social media and even killed
her daughters pets.
e forum, which also involved senior police and Centre for
Non-Violence chief executive Margaret Augerinos, heard that family
violence was a problem aecting people across the community and not
restricted to certain neighbourhoods or socio-economic groups.
Survivors and experts said continuing to
a $100,000 program during a visit to Gisborne. Run in
conjunction with the Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria,
the Partners in Prevention program will support a pilot initiative
being run at schools, including Gisborne and Kyneton secondary
colleges.
Education Minister James Merlino, who joined Ms Richardson for a
tour of Gisborne Secondary College, said schools would get help to
teach young people how to foster safe relationships.
e Gisborne and Kyneton schools are among 19 involved in a trial
that will be used to develop a program to be rolled out for prep to
year 10 students across the state from next year.
Violence survivor dispels myths
Houses in Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges are less likely to be
burgled than most other places in Victoria.
An analysis of crime data released by the RACV last week reveals
that one in every 80 houses in Sunbury was hit by thieves in
2014-15, compared to the state average of one in 67.
While encouraging, the gure was still down on 2013, when closer
to one in every 90 houses was burgled.
Results were even better across much of the Macedon Ranges, with
one in 107 houses burgled in Gisborne and one in 120 houses at
Romsey.
Kynetons burglary rate was slightly higher at one in 75.
e gures are far better than many areas in Melbournes west, with
one in 19 houses targeted at Williams Landing and one in 24 in
Broadmeadows/Dallas.
Regional Victorias burglary hotspot was Shepparton, where one in
25 houses were burgled in the past nancial year.
RACV home services general manager Aaron Flavell said people
could reduce their chances of being burgled by increasing the risk
of crooks being nabbed.
ieves look for easy entry into homes so make sure that your
doors and windows are well secured with locks made to Australian
standards, and that you lock up when you go out, even for short
periods, he said.
As reported by Star Weekly, Macedon Star Weekly, Macedon Star
WeeklyRanges police have focused on the from farm sheds and
unattended properties in recent months, following a spike in
oences.

A Gisborne woman who has spent 12 years battling mesothelioma is
urging the federal government to add a revolutionary, but costly,
medication to the pharmaceutical benets scheme.
Despite her ill health, Louise Williams has spent many years
ghting on behalf of others diagnosed with lung cancer caused by
exposure to asbestos.
Mrs Williams said that before starting a new medication,
Keytruda, in April this year, she couldnt get out of bed.
I was dying, she said. I needed oxygen 24/7, I had severe back
pain, bone pain, nausea my body was shutting down.
In 1985, her father, who worked in the building industry, was
diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. He died six months later aged
54.
In 2003, Mrs Williams, then 47, was diagnosed with peritoneal
mesothelioma. In 2009, it became pleural mesothelioma. She has had
large tumours removed, and she underwent many courses of
chemotherapy before starting on Keytruda.
Mrs Williams said her life had been transformed aer 12 doses of
the drug, which encourages the bodys immune system to ght
tumours.
It doesnt kick in immediately, but aer the third dose my scan
showed signicantly reduced tumours and uid, she said.
Aer numbers four and ve, I started to ease up the oxygen and was
walking better and doing basic household things.
Between ve and six I thought, well, whats wrong with me?
My quality of life is back. Im able to do everything I used to
be able to do.
Crusader ghts for cancer drug
Louise Williams life has been transformed by a cancer drug.
(Matthew Furneaux)
But Keytruda, which is listed on the PBS for melanoma but not
for asbestos cancers, doesnt come cheap.
Depending on body weight, a single dose can cost between $6000
and $11,000, and it must be administered every three weeks.
At the moment its usually prescribed at the end of life because
its so expensive, Mrs Williams said. I believe once its on the PBS,
oncologists will be able to try it earlier.
Keytruda is getting results with more than 20 dierent cancer
varieties around the world.
With mesothelioma its showing a success rate of 60 to 70 per
cent, Mrs Williams said. Chemotherapy is about 20 per cent.
Everyone should have this option.
e eorts of Mrs Williams, who has spoken at several international
conferences, were recently praised in Federal Parliament by McEwen
MP Rob Mitchell.
I do not think I have met a person with such great inner
strength and courage, he said.
We will keep ghting to help her and hopefully other victims get
the support and medication they need to help them lead full
lives.
Mrs Williams, who hopes to present a 6000-signature petition to
Health Minister Sussan Ley soon, said she believed victory was
near.
We will get it done, she said. I know we will.
A spokesman for Ms Ley did not respond before deadline.
Everyone should have this option we will get it done - Louise

Sunbury and Macedon Ranges wildlife activists have condemned
plans to cull kangaroos on Melbournes fast-growing urban
fringes.
ey say better planning would be a preferable solution to the
problems arising from rapid housing growth to the citys north and
north-west.
e number of kangaroos being rescued by groups, such as Macedon
Ranges Wildlife Network (MRWN), has soared in recent years, from
594 in 2011 to almost 1300 last year.
Mr Temby acknowledged that a cull plan would be controversial.
[But] if they are culled, you are talking about reducing pain and
suering.
MRWN spokeswoman Fiona Corke said killing kangaroos to allow
more development was hardly a radical solution.
Its what theyve always done, but people expect better now, she
said.
To call for a cull so developers can continue to make money is
appalling.
Ms Corke said while councils had tried to bring in buer zones
and wildlife corridors
Many call-outs relate to roos being hit by cars, with the
Melbourne-Lanceeld Road among the hotspots, while animals have also
become trapped in backyards in areas such as Sunburys Jacksons
Hill.
Wildlife consultant Ian Temby, who last week submitted to the
Environment Department a proposal to manage kangaroos in urban
areas, said a cull was the most humane solution.
e alternative is that kangaroos get killed by cars, he said. Its
a consequence of development; there are costs.
in some areas, the bigger problem was state planning laws.
e real issue is that developers arent forced to make way for
wildlife and so it sort of becomes nobodys problem, she said.
Macedon Ranges mayor Graham Hackett said the council, as part of
a group of Loddon Campaspe councils, had lobbied for better
kangaroo management but did not consider culling to be a viable
option. Both Macedon Ranges and Hume councils require management
plans limiting eects on native wildlife before developments can go
ahead.

Outdoor swimming pools in Lanceeld and Woodend have been spruced
up for the summer season. New shade structures have been put up in
Lanceeld, while purication systems have been upgraded at both
pools. Macedon Ranges mayor Graham Hackett says water saving
initiatives, including the installation of dual-ush toilets, will
be carried out in coming months. We are lucky to have such great
facilities and I encourage people to get outdoors and enjoy them,
he says. Opening times for the swimming season, which started on
Saturday and nishes on March 14, will vary according to weather
forecasts, with extended hours on hot days. Both pools will be open
every day that the Melbourne temperature is forecast to hit 24C,

Landlls in Melbournes north-west may have to absorb all the
citys waste within the next 10 years as tips in the south-east
begin to close, a new dra waste plan has proposed.
e state governments recently released dra Metropolitan Waste and
Resource Recovery Implementation Plan (MWRRG) sets out how
Melbournes capacity to manage waste will be managed over the next
decade.
It aims to reduce the citys reliance on landlls and provide more
alternatives, such as
Melbournes landlling needs to occur in the north-west, the
report states. If the north-west catchment managed all metropolitan
disposal needs, some landlls would be required to operate at a
signicantly higher capacity.
How this might aect communities, businesses and the environment
will need to be further assessed in considering whether land lling
in the north-west may be an optimal long-term solution.
Hume and Whittlesea council sta were briefed on the dra plan
last week.
Representatives of both councils said that,
recycling facilities and new kerbside bins that accept garden
waste, and fruit and vegetable scraps.
e plan says that while the metropolitan region has adequate
infrastructure capacity, most potential capacity is in the
north-west.
It says the Clayton/Dingley cluster of landlls in the south-east
will close in the next 18 months to three years, with the three
remaining landlls at Hallam, Lyndhurst and Cranbourne continuing
for another 10 years.
Beyond 10 years, planning decisions must consider whether it is
optimal for all of
at this point, no details had been shared about which landlls in
the north would be expected to expand operations.
Western Metropolitan MP Bernie Finn said locals are furious. He
asked Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister Lisa Neville
to reassure his constituents that Melbournes north and west would
not be the dumping group for millions of tonnes of stinking
waste.
Ms Neville told Star Weekly there would be chances for residents
and businesses to have a say before the waste plan is nalised.

Sunbury could be among the electorates that will decide the next
state election, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy believes.
Mr Guy visited the towns train station last week to talk to
residents in the wake of the state governments decision to reverse
controversial public transport changes. He said every seat was in
play.
[Sunbury] swung towards the Liberals last time, even though we
lost the election, he said. It is a bellwether seat, and will
continue to be one.
All sides of politics are going to really have to put their best
foot forward to get the trust of Sunbury residents.
Mr Guy said the communitys co-ordinated eorts to ght train
timetable changes had been noticed.
When communities are organised in that sort of way, it gets
results, he said.
I think Sunbury is now putting itself well and truly on the
political radar.
Repeating his promise to give Sunbury its own council in the rst
term of a future Liberal government, Mr Guy said the recent
introduction of rate-capping made a split from Hume more straight
forward.
But Sunbury Labor MP Josh Bull said this years transition audit
made it clear a standalone council wouldnt work.
With a 14.5 per cent rate hike and cuts to services, and all on
a legally questionable premise, the former Liberal government tried
to sell the residents of Sunbury a pup, Mr Bull said.

A new group formed to help cyclists explore Sunburys many bike
paths and advocate for life-saving upgrades is encouraging people
to join a family ride this Sunday.
Members of the Sunbury Bicycle Users Group (BUG) will lead
cyclists down paths near Blind Creek, Spavin Drive, Salesian
College, Reservoir Road and Emu Bottom homestead, aer meeting at
Lions Park on Riddell Road at 1pm.
Member Hector Bugeja said the
Bid to complete the cyclePeter, Ray, David, Hector and Nadia

a new Sunbury BUG. (Damjan Janevski)
recently-formed group would push for improvements to the local
bike network, including links to Goonawarra.
Sunbury has a good established pathway network which is a very
well-kept secret, he said. However, there are key gaps, which push
riders onto the road.
Mr Bugeja said cyclists want a path, which stops at the Spavin
Drive lake, extended. e group is also involved in a campaign for a
relatively simple upgrade on a dangerous section of Vineyard Road,
near the Calder Freeway overpass.
As reported by Star Weekly, the shared Star Weekly, the shared
Star Weeklypathway currently ends at Moore Road, about 200 metres
short of the overpass, forcing cyclists and pedestrians heading for
Diggers Rest to cross onto the road.
With vehicles trying to enter the freeway or continue to the
overpass, Mr Bugeja said it was a nasty mix. He said there had been
many near-misses involving cars, pedestrians or cyclists at the
busy site.
Mr Bugeja and Sunbury BUG convenor Robert Irvine have written to
Roads Minister Luke Donnellan and Sunbury MP Josh Bull.

Work has begun on a long list of road, intersection and footpath
upgrades in the Macedon Ranges.
More than a dozen projects are listed on the councils summer
works schedule, part of its $4.1 million road and footpaths budget
for 2015-16.
Deputy mayor John Connor and mayor Graham Hackett were at
Gisborne South last week to inspect works at the intersection of
Couangalt and Benson roads.
New street lighting, trac islands and asphalt are being
installed at the notorious blackspot.
Other projects in the Gisborne area include footpath
improvements along Scenic Court and road reconstruction on Brady
and McGregor roads.
New sections of footpath are being built on Wedge Street at
Kyneton. Roadworks will also be completed on the Kyneton-Springhill
and Redesdale roads.
Sandy Creek Road at Riddells Creek will be widened, while road,
drainage and footpath upgrades are scheduled for Templeton Street
at Woodend. Footpaths will also be built or improved at Lanceeld,
Romsey, Macedon and New Gisborne.
Deputy mayor John Connor and mayor Graham Hackett inspect works
at the intersection of Couangalt and Benson roads, Gisborne South.

Roads put rates to work
By Matt Crossman
Sunbury and Macedon Ranges residents are more likely to take
part in maternal child and health visits than most other
Victorians, but they oen face lengthy waits for planning
applications, a new report card of councils reveals.
Created in an eort to help ensure transparent and accountable
local government for communities, the state governments Know Your
Council website shows that Macedon Ranges council is generally
proactive with animal management, with 62 per cent of lost pets
reclaimed compared to the state average of 54 per cent.
e cost of the councils animal management service ($43.33 per
registered pet) was lower than the state average.
Macedon Ranges council fared well in terms of governance, roads
and nancial performance.
But the time taken to decide planning applications was 91 days,
much longer than the state average (65) and the time taken by
similar councils (59).
Council chief executive Peter Johnston said this showed that
working through planning issues in the municipality was a complex
task.
Our planning results are reective of our deliberate approach to
work with applicants and negotiate outcomes during the application
process, he said. We will continue to work closely with
applicants, but at the same time we will focus on streamlining
these application processes to improve the turnaround time.
Planning applications in Hume took an average of 97.4 days to be
determined, compared with the similar-council average of 82.
Hume council chief executive Domenic Isola said having survey
measures was good to a point, but results could merely reect a
dierence in focus or priorities.
He said the needs of what the website termed similar councils
could also be quite dierent. But he accepted that planning delays
could be reduced.
Even without knowing exactly how other councils operate, I look
at that base number and say we could be doing better, he said.
e website showed 11 per cent of Hume residents were considered
active library users lower than the state average of 19 per
cent.
Humes average cost per library visit ($6.87) was also higher,
but Mr Isola said this could be attributed to the innovative range
of resources oered by the councils global learning centres and its
need to cater for a culturally diverse community.

How did you get involved with the club?I joined the Kyneton Aero
Club in 2008 when I rst moved into the region and was able to
source a hangar at Kyneton aireld. I joined the committee shortly
aer joining the club and served in various positions from 2008 to
2015, recently standing down as president aer four years.
How did you get into ying? My father was in the air force and I
was fortunate enough to grow up on a base and spent most of my
early years in and around aircra Ive had a passion for aviation
ever since.
What do you most love about it? e ying aspect is many things
challenging, rewarding, relaxing. Its the ultimate freedom but also
focuses the mind. Given the potential consequences, it requires 100
per cent concentration and commitment. e aircra themselves have
stories to tell. My main interest is in historic and vintage
aircra, particularly ex-military.
Do you travel by plane as a passenger very oen? How is that
experience for you? I travel fairly regularly as an airline
passenger I always get a window seat and spend most of the ight
gazing out the window as I do when Im ying myself.
You own some planes yourself what are their stories? We are
fortunate enough to be the current custodians of two historic
ex-military aircra. Our rst aircra, a CT4 Airtrainer, served
MY PLACEFormer Kyneton Aero Club president Matt Henderson talks
about his love of ying and the Macedon Ranges with Matt
Crossman.
with the Royal Australian Air Force between 1975 and 1993. Our
second aircra is a Cessna O-1G Birddog, which was built in 1952 as
an L-19 liaison and observation aircra and served initially with
the US Army Air Corps in Vietnam from 1966 to 1971, when it was
transferred to the South Vietnamese Army. Following the end of the
Vietnam War, it was eectively discarded on the side of an aireld
and remained there until 1989 when it was recovered by well-known
warbird restorer Col Pay. A friend of ours purchased the aircra and
spent 17 years restoring it. We were fortunate enough to purchase
it earlier this year.
Whats your day job? I work in the IT industry for a global
technology manufacturer in aer-sales account management its
somewhat removed from aviation but technology is also an area of
interest since school days.
How does Kyneton aireld compare to others? Im likely to have a
biased view here, but I also spend a lot of time at many other
regional airelds around the country. I think the Kyneton aireld is
a fantastic asset for both Kyneton and the Macedon Ranges.
Having spent a lot of time in the air, what are your favourite
parts of the Macedon Ranges?e diversity of scenery in the region is
one of the great aspects, from the pasture lands to the north, to
the forests, ranges and reservoirs to the south. e most special
ight weve done recently is the dawn formation ight above Mount
Macedon on Anzac Day. (P

Forums to tackle climate changeAn initiative to tackle global
warming at a local level was announced at a peoples climate rally
in Kyneton on November 29. Macedon Ranges Green Energy Coalition
co-ordinator Rob Bakes said ve forums would be held in the
municipality next year. The forums, starting in Riddells Creek in
March, would promote discussion about deliberative democracy to
encourage local, state and federal governments to address climate
change.
Mobile improvements on trackV/Line commuters have welcomed an
$18 million project to eliminate mobile black spots on country
trains. The opposition last week accused the state government of
betraying regional areas by pulling plans for the introduction of
wi-, but Small Business Minister Philip Dalidakis said improving
mobile connectivity would increase productivity for regional
commuters.
Give toys, create smilesSunbury residents are being encouraged
to help brighten someones Christmas by leaving gifts under a tree
at the councils customer service centre in Macedon Street. Gifts
will be handed to local charities for distribution to kids in
under-privileged families. Gifts should include labels to indicate
which gender toys would suit, and an age bracket.

Summer is almost here, and residents across the west are being
cautioned to slip, slop, slap, slide and seek as the weather heats
up.
A new SunSmart campaign is warning that adults are more likely
to get sunburned doing day-to-day activities than on a day at the
beach.
Data from the 2013-14 National Sun Survey shows that 50 per cent
of adults were sunburnt during summer weekends from doing
activities around the home, including gardening, chores, reading or
having a barbecue.
Only 29 per cent of adults got sunburnt hanging out at the beach
or pool, and 21 per cent got sunburnt playing sport.

15 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 8,
2015
Riddells Creek has become a foodie destination, with Riddells
Creek Hotel a star on the dining scene. Its run by sisters Carolyn
Trodd and Dianne ODonnell, who have been around hospitality for the
past 20 years. They love running the hotel.
We love seeing our regulars, who come in for their catch-ups,
have a laugh, a drink and a chat, listen to music or watch the
cricket, Dianne says. We love the fact that our hotel brings the
community together, a place they can catch up with whats going on
around town.
And, of course, we get plenty of visitors from out of town, who
want good food in a traditional pub environment.
Right now, head chef Angelina Love is sorting out her new summer
menu with help from sous chefs Bernard Smallwood, Brad Henderson
and Dennis Cascio.
Were lucky to have access to the best fresh produce in the
region, Angelina says, which means that our dishes play with
seasonal availability. Using such quality ingredients brings out
the best in each dish on a menu best described as traditional
pub-grub with a modern twist.
The lightly grilled barramundi has a macadamia nut crust and is
served with house-made tartare sauce, lemon wedges, thick-cut chips
and a crisp garden salad always a favourite summertime go-to; as is
the salt and chilli seafood duo fresh prawns and baby calamari
tossed in salt-and-chilli seasoned our, lightly cooked until crispy
and served with the same accompaniments.
Showing off an Asian inspiration, the tandoori chicken stack
with potato rosti and salad topped with a dollop of garlic and
cucumber yoghurt is a big avour hit, and theres a good selection of
pasta and risottos, with a classic line-up of desserts to
follow.
Monday and Tuesday nights are all about steak and parmas, and
Thursdays has seafood as the headline act. Lunch, with vego and
gluten-free options, is served Wednesday to Friday.
Not only does Riddells Creek Hotel have bus transport to Hanging
Rock concerts and other regional events, it invites diners to go to
its Facebook page and join an SMS texting service to keep up with
whats on.

Should the rst mention be of the fab panoramic views, from a
deep return balcony, of the sun setting on the hills? Does the
extraordinary shed, hiding surprise after surprise, deserve top
billing? The answer is both, but the big house on its block of
about half a hectare is also a winner.
The property is just outside Melton, yet hidden away down an
easily navigable dirt road and sits amid a gumtree grove milieu
with little undergrowth. The house precinct has minimal gardens to
maintain, leaving time to enjoy life and plan how a massive
under-house area (with numerous rooms)
could be best used. Wine storage would make a ne starting
point.
Timber stairs head up to the double-door entry, beyond which is
a wide, tiled hallway with a big smoky mirror lling a ledged
recess. The main bedroom and another are on either side, the main
with wonderful views, a tted walk-in wardrobe and a large en suite
with dual basins.
Three more bedrooms are off the living hub and accessed via
multi-paned glass doors, as are the large main bathroom with dual
basins and a spa, and the laundry with adjoining storage room
rimmed with cupboard storage.
The huge living hub, with access to a balcony with automatic
blinds, incorporates a tiled meals zone, kitchen and a family
sitting area with inset carpet and a gas log re. Large and sleek
with sandstone-toned vinyl-wrap cabinetry, the kitchen has a
walk-in pantry, return island bench and an Emilia 900-millimetre
cooker.
Heading down external timber stairs will take you to the
18x18-metre shed, although that moniker belies what lies within.
Theres a workshop with benches galore, then comes a huge man
cave/party room with a sleek, fully tiled powder room. Head up
open-tread timber stairs from

here and a big gym under a pitched ceiling comes into view. A
door opens from there to a mezzanine balcony looking down to the
workshop. Oh, and the party room opens to a pergola or space for
three cars.
Although a ne and functional asset as is, this cleverly congured
shed has enormous scope for further usability, while the expansive
gravelled surrounds provides capacity for big vehicles.
Ducted evaporative cooling, split-system, tank and town water,
and cover for seven cars are included.
