Time’s up for ‘black spot’By Matt Crossman
Sunbury’s most notorious tra�c hotspot will get a $6.4 million upgrade, with lights set to replace the roundabout at the intersection of Gap Road and Horne Street.
Roads Minister Luke Donnellan joined Sunbury MP Josh Bull at the dangerous intersection on Monday to announce long- awaited works designed to improve safety and ease tra�c congestion.
�e project, which is expected to be completed in 2018, will include turning lanes
from all directions, pedestrian crossings and bicycle lanes.
‘‘�e new tra�c lights will reduce queuing at the intersection and allow locals to get where they need to go safely and quickly,’’ Mr Donnellan said.

About 21,500 vehicles travel on Horne Street each day, and 18,000 on Gap Road.

Macedon Ranges council will investigate ways to address inequity in environmental funding a�er councillors expressed concerns about the way the state government is spending money raised by an Environment Protection Authority (EPA) levy.
A notice of motion from Cr John Letchford last Wednesday night led to complaints about continued spending on land�lls at the expense of investment in environmental projects and innovative waste management practices.
Cr Letchford also pointed to a report in �e Age that showed that more than $400 million raised by the statewide levy was ‘‘propping up’’ government co�ers.
Other councillors griped that they continued to be asked to be ‘‘tax collectors’’, with the levy collected via fees at rubbish tips.
‘‘�ey are using us as tax collectors on the very sites they then hound and charge us for,’’ Cr Russell Mowatt said.
Cr Letchford said the forthcoming investigation would provide an opportunity to examine how money raised in the municipality was being used.
A spokeswoman for Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio did not respond by deadline.
�e council will prepare an options paper exploring ways to support electric cars, including the possible introduction of charging stations and promoting the Macedon Ranges area as an ecotourism destination.

�e police union has rejected calls for the booming suburb of Diggers Rest to be transferred into the Sunbury police service area, saying it would put more pressure on o�cers already dealing with soaring numbers of calls.
Sunbury police station is already closed to the public on occasions due to a lack of sta�, and Police Association secretary Ron Iddles has warned that any additional workload without increased police numbers could result in a poorer service.
‘‘Our members at both Melton and Sunbury
Police union won’t cop new beatare stretched to the limit,’’ he said. ‘‘Sunbury is a station that’s already responsible for a large area with high demand.’’
In State Parliament last week, Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn said it made sense for operations in Diggers Rest, which is �ve minutes from Sunbury, to be transferred from Caroline Springs (about 20 minutes away). ‘‘In peak hour, [Caroline Springs] can be anything up to two hours away, given tra�c conditions in the outer west these days,’’ Mr Finn said.
But Mr Iddles said distance was just one thing to consider. ‘‘Given that police in Sunbury are also stretched, it follows that people of Sunbury
may well receive a lower level of service,’’ he said.
‘‘We would recommend that Victoria Police looks for a more sustainable solution, one that increases its police numbers to respond to calls … no matter where [people] live.”
Sunbury has 33 o�cers, while Melton and Wyndham stations, which are also under pressure from massive population growth, have 76 and 98 respectively.
O�cers have complained about working double shi�s and coming in while on leave to cover for sick or burnt-out colleagues.
Hume councillor Jack Medcra� – suggesting the allocation of o�cers between western and
eastern suburbs may be politically based – recently asked the council to write to Victoria Police and the state government, expressing concerns about sta�ng levels at Sunbury.
In a response to the council, Acting Police Minister Robin Scott said the government worked with the chief commissioner to ensure police were appropriately resourced.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said there was always a 24-hour presence at Sunbury and people could contact police via the intercom.
‘‘�e state government recently announced … an additional 300 frontline police,” she said. “We will be working through this … to determine how these resources will be used.’’
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has promised McEwen voters better access to child health and early intervention services under a federal Labor government, pledging $2 million for a child health hub during a visit to Sunbury Community Health (SCH) on Saturday.
Liberal candidate Chris Jermyn’s attempt to gatecrash Mr Shorten’s election trail pitstop went spectacularly wrong.
Accompanied by McEwen MP Rob Mitchell, Mr Shorten shook Mr Jermyn’s hand on his way inside the Macedon Street health centre, joking that at least he was getting to see one leader this election.
But in what’s being billed as a “Jaymes Diaz moment” – referring to a Liberal candidate who was famously unable to outline his party’s position on border protection at the 2013 election – Mr Jermyn was at a loss to explain Coalition health policy in an interview a�erwards, leading to his hasty retreat.
Mr Shorten said the new Sunbury hub would combine paediatric assessments with audiology, speech, occupational therapy and physiotherapy services.
Families will be able to access an onsite paediatrician and early intervention services for children with disabilities, developmental delays and autism.
�e hub will be for family support and parenting groups, while National Disability Insurance Scheme-funded services will also be available for eligible children.
‘‘Sunbury is a fast-growing urban area with a large number of young families,’’ Mr Shorten said. ‘‘�e child health hub will mean families don’t miss out on the services they need for
their kids and stop them having to travel into Melbourne for help, which will take pressure o� these services.’’
SCH’s existing early childhood programs help about 600 children every week.

A push for a major outdoor sports centre at New Gisborne is gaining momentum, with supporters hopeful that federal election commitments may come their way.
�e $11.52 million project includes two football/cricket ovals and other infrastructure on land purchased by Macedon Ranges council in early 2015.
�e project has been listed by the council as a priority ahead of the July 2 federal election.
New Gisborne Regional Sports Precinct
�e proposed complex would include a drought-proof synthetic oval, allowing for three times more use than a grass surface, and the headquarters of the recently established Gisborne Giants junior football club.
Soccer, athletics, Auskick and cricket will also be included.
Ms Gray said talks with McEwen candidates Rob Mitchell (Labor) and Chris Jermyn (Liberal) were ongoing, and she urged the community to support a vigorous social media campaign. ‘‘�e groundwork’s been done and the support is there,’’ she said. ‘‘With the
spokeswoman Helen Gray said extensive strategic work is complete and the project, slated for a site near the recently opened netball complex on the corner of Barringo and Hamilton roads, is ‘‘ready to go’’.
�e council and project group are seeking about $8 million from the next federal government to make the complex a reality.
‘‘What’s happened in the past few years is that, with population growth, participation has gone through the roof,’’ Ms Gray said. ‘‘Clubs are turning people away. It’s so important we make this happen so kids don’t miss out.’’
regional aspect, it ticks all the boxes. We want to go forward now.’’
As reported by Star Weekly, a separate Star Weekly, a separate Star Weeklycampaign for an indoor sports hub is also under way.
Residents are being urged to get behind the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Hub group’s campaign for a six-court stadium in a central location.
Basketball Victoria and Netball Victoria support the push for the new centre, which would include administration space, storage, catering and bar facilities.
Sports top the election wishlist
When Sunbury College principal Stephen Smith started as a teacher at Noble Park Secondary College 40 years ago, he was always in it for the long haul.
‘‘I’ve never really seen this as a job,’’ he said. ‘‘I’ve always seen it more as a vocation. But if you’d told me 40 years ago that I was going to be a principal, I might have been more surprised.’’
Mr Smith was one of 264 teachers from across the state recognised for their long service last week.
�e former geography teacher said that while technology had been an obvious agent of change since the 1970s, the way things were handled was also vastly di�erent.
‘‘We have become much more accountable and that’s a good thing,’’ Mr Smith said.
‘‘When I �rst started, we were not held accountable for what we taught and many of our students didn’t achieve.’’
Asked what advice he would give to young teachers, Mr Smith said: ‘‘You’ve got to have a thick skin.
‘‘You’ve also got to be able to drive out the gate at the end of the day and not worry too much about work.
‘‘I would encourage them to seek advice. Don’t think if you ask for help it’s showing weakness, because it is a very complex job.’’
Gisborne Secondary College science teacher Kelvin Barraclough was recognised for 45 years service, while Sunbury Heights Primary School’s Josephine Harding has racked up 40 years.

When a group of mothers sat down to discuss the creation of St Andrew’s Uniting Church kindergarten in the mid-1960s, Sunbury was a vastly di�erent place from what it is today.
Looking back, inaugural kinder president Beth McKinnon says Sunbury had only about 300 residents “and 1400 of them were patients at the mental hospital’’.
‘‘We didn’t have a kinder, we didn’t have a playgroup – there was nothing,’’ she said.
Having identi�ed the need as the town started to grow, Mrs McKinnon says the committee went about raising money for equipment.
‘‘�at was the time when, if a community had a need, the whole community got behind it,’’ she said. ‘‘You did get some help with small grants, but in those days, the community always had to raise the funds.’’
Charity events, including a dinner-dance, helped make the dream a reality.
‘‘Dinner-dances were a great way to raise funds,’’ Mrs McKinnon said. ‘‘�ere’s that song �ese Boots Were Made For Walking … we were �ese Boots Were Made For Walking … we were �ese Boots Were Made For Walkingup there doing a tivoli act in the middle of it.’’
Mrs McKinnon says those involved in the kindergarten’s creation were looking forward to celebrating its 50th anniversary this weekend.
‘‘�ere’s been some great people involved over the years,’’ she said.
Past and present families, sta� and church members are invited to an a�ernoon tea atthe kinder, on corner of Brook and Barkly streets, from 1.30-3pm this Saturday. Details: 9744 1674.

‘‘�is is all too typical of what we’ve come to expect of the Andrews government.’’

Sunbury line commuters will have direct access to only two city train stations, down from the current �ve, once the Melbourne metro tunnel opens.
Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn said he was furious.
But a key member of the town’s commuters association said promises of signi�cant increases to service frequency mean users will have more trains and less crowding.
Appearing before State Parliament’s economy and infrastructure committee last Tuesday
morning, Melbourne Metro Rail Authority chief executive Evan Tattersall con�rmed passengers using the Sunbury line would have direct access to only two city stations a�er the tunnel opens in 2026.
Mr Finn said the decision to cut access was further indication of Labor’s neglect of the west.
Finn slams metro rail accesspart of the project, directly connecting local passengers to hospitals and the university in Parkville, Federation Square and Melbourne Central in the CBD, and jobs and gardens near Domain.
‘‘Sunbury trains will also have direct connection to the city loop and the rest of the network via new city stations next to Flinders Street and Melbourne Central.”
Sunbury Train Association spokesman Paul Campbell said the extra trains would be welcomed.
‘‘If it’s going to improve services, most people will be able to deal with it,’’ he said.

Having brought up �ve boys and �ve girls, Gisborne’s Wendy and Les Kays are used to being busy.
Being active is something that’s continued well into their retirement, with lawn bowls, water aerobics classes and social appointments just part of their regular schedule.
�e Gisborne couple, who have lived in the area their entire married life, will celebrate their 60th anniversary on �ursday.
‘‘We can’t remember very much of it,’’ said Mrs Kays with a laugh of the long journey. With 10 kids and Les having to run his own petrol distribution business, we just kind of got on with things.’’
Twenty-six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren continue to ensure they have lots to do.
Like many couples of their era, the Kays met at a country dance. But the tale of their engagement is rather less conventional.
‘‘We were on our way to Yea and the car broke down,’’ Mrs Kays says.
‘‘We spent all this time waiting and Les said, ‘Well, I think we ought to get married’.
‘‘It was no great romantic proposal. But then, we knew it was going to work.’’
As to what advice they would o�er to young couples, the Kays are big advocates for healthy communication.
‘‘Don’t let problems continue and have everything go out the window with it,’’ Mrs Kays says.
Mr and Mrs Kays will hold a large celebration with family and friends on Sunday.

No changes will be made to the way Macedon Ranges council handles planning applications before October’s election.
Cr Russell Mowatt couldn’t get the support last Wednesday he needed for his motion seeking a report into bringing back a planning committee in the next council term.
Another motion from Cr Jennifer Anderson, which sought immediate changes to the process that delegates decision-making to o�cers, also failed to get up.
decision-making processes were working well. ‘‘As an organisation and council, we need
to be employing a process whereby we are continuously improving our methods,’’ he said.
Cr Anderson said it would be more open and transparent if objections to planning matters were brought to committee meetings.
Both motions prompted lengthy debate, with councillors including Roger Jukes and John Letchford supporting the current system, whereby applications that have prompted objections can be ‘‘called in’’ to council.
Cr Jukes said planning processes were bound to be looked at by the new council, while Cr Henry McLaughlin said it would be unfair to commit a new council to a process ‘‘in the sunset of our term’’.
But with permit applications accelerating since the current council was elected in 2012, Cr Mowatt said councillors need to be sure that
‘‘It’s a good thing to do and it should be done now,’’ she said.
Cr Jukes said he had seen nothing to suggest the current system was not working.
‘‘�is process will be looked at by the new council,’’ he said.
‘‘Why order a review in our last six months?’’Cr Mowatt said the council was missing out
on a great opportunity to show leadership and vision.
‘‘I get people ringing up saying what happened, we didn’t get a chance to have our say,’’ he said. ‘‘People out there are unhappy.’’
Planning changes put on hold‘‘ I get people … saying we didn’t get a chance to have our say ’’ - Russell Mowatt

Parents are being urged to take advantage of free immunisation sessions at Gisborne, Kyneton and Woodend this week, with health data showing too many Macedon Ranges parents are putting their children and others at risk by not having them properly immunised.
�e latest Australian Childhood Immunisation Register data reveals that only 86.96 per cent of children aged between 12 and 15 months have been fully immunised.
�e �gure rises to 92.11 per cent of children at age �ve, but the Australian Medical Association maintains 93 per cent of children need to be vaccinated to stop the spread of disease.
Council’s assets and operations director Dale �ornton said while there had not been a signi�cant change in take-up in recent years, it was hoped more children would be up to date a�er the state government’s ‘‘no jab, no play’’ policy came into e�ect on January 1.
�e law requires all children to be fully vaccinated before they can attend childcare or kindergarten.
‘‘Immunisation is the safest and most e�ective way of giving protection against a disease,’’ Mr �ornton said.
‘‘A�er immunisation, your child is far less likely to catch the disease if there are cases in the community.
“If your child does catch the disease, illness is less severe and recovery is quicker
compared to an unimmunised child.’’ Mr �ornton said it was important to remember that childhood diseases, such as measles and whooping cough, are serious and potentially fatal.
‘‘�e risk of complications from disease is much higher than the risks of complications from immunisation,’’ he said.
‘‘If vaccination levels in the community fall too low, disease epidemics can reappear.’’
Launching new app VaxonTime, Health Minister Jill Hennessy said an estimated 20 per cent of parents forgot when their child’s immunisations were due.
‘‘We know vaccinations save lives,’’ she said. ‘‘Immunisation is everyone’s responsibility, and there is no excuse for not immunising your child.’’
Council’s next immunisation sessions will be held this �ursday at Manna Gum Children’s Centre, Gisborne, from 9.15-10.30am, Kyneton Mechanics Institute from 12-12.30pm and Woodend Community Centre from 2.30-3pm.
More sessions will be held in Riddells Creek and Romsey later in the month.

Commuters are avoiding the roo�op carpark next to Sunbury train station, with a broken light tower prompting safety concerns.
Sunbury Train Association spokesman Paul Campbell said the lighting, which has been out of action for almost four months, le� a section on the station side of the carpark in darkness.
‘‘�ere’s been couple of near misses where people have been wearing dark clothing,’’ Mr Campbell said.
‘‘�ere’s also the personal safety … [people] who know they’re going to be there at night are choosing to park on the street.
‘‘We don’t want it to get to the point where someone gets hurt or attacked.’’
�e carpark is owned by Sunbury Central shopping centre, which recently changed hands, but is leased for use by train commuters under a Public Transport Victoria (PTV) agreement signed when the line was electri�ed in 2012.
Repeated attempts to resolve the issue involving Public Transport Victoria, Metro, centre security and management have been unsuccessful.
‘‘We’ve been told that property management are upgrading lighting to LED and they will be replaced in due course,’’ Mr Campbell said. ‘‘�at was �ve weeks ago.’’
PTV directed inquiries to Metro, which said centre management was responsible for the upkeep of lighting.
Centre management could not be reached for comment.

This unit, ready for �rst-time buyers, retirees or investors, has architectural features that set it well above the average and break the cookie-cutter mould with a resounding snap. It’s in the living room where the difference is easily spotted – a soaring cathedral ceiling, lined with timber and crossed with exposed beams, while Victorian ash boards line the �oor and wooden dado panels decorate walls. Next to a vinyl-�oored meals area, the kitchen has timber cabinetry, walk-in pantry, a servery bench and an electric upright cooker. The two good-sized bedrooms share an all-white bathroom with subway tiles and timber vanity unit. The backyard is fully landscaped and has a couple of showy specimen trees.

Property of the week
One of the few remaining period gems in the heart of town, this c1913 Federation abode is as pretty as a picture on the street, with its classic façade intact and gardens chockful of romantic vignettes.
And the large, dual-storey house, within a stroll of O’Shanassy Street cafes and shops, has interior spaces that celebrate the mix of Federation grandeur and contemporary chic. Cast-iron �replaces, soaring ceilings with either ornate plaster or painted boards, picture rails, gorgeous leadlight, sash windows dressed mostly in timber blinds, and honey-toned �oorboards
marry perfectly with white wall paint and �agstone-style �oor tiles. Fittings in the newer back section have been cleverly selected to reference the period and maintain the nostalgic ambience.
Flanking the fretworked entrance hall, the main and one other bedroom hit all the Federation notes, with a dressing room and two-way bathroom adjoining the main. A clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, dual basins and white subway wall tiles are in the big bathroom, anchored aptly with burgundy/cream �oor tiles.
Remaining bedrooms (with �oorboards)
are up timber stairs, as are a good-sized living zone (with beautiful arched leadlight window) and a period-decorated bathroom.
Living areas include a dead-set charmer of a lounge room, which has french doors to an equally charming dining room. This then links with the kitchen-meals zone which, in turn, connects with a fab rear vestibule under a steeply pitched, skylit ceiling and painted joists. Steps head up from here to a family room (garage access) with a gym and toilet next door.
With a Homestead black cast-iron cooker as its intriguing focus, the kitchen, lined

with dark timber cabinetry with brass pulls, has a large butcher’s block island, walk-in pantry and all the mod-cons.
Kitchen, vestibule and family room each have french doors to porches, one screen-enclosed. A large, east-facing courtyard puts on a mighty �ne show. A stretch of rustic pavers, an elegant water feature and amazing specimen trees in islands of greenery – this is a seriously good outdoor area. Just like everything else about this place really.

Jordan Ford is heading for a top-level karting challenge in England. (Supplied)
Having conquered Australia, Sunbury’s Jordan Ford is ready to take on the world.
�e reigning 250cc national-class superkart Australian champion will compete in the new 250cc mono-cylinder championship at Donnington Park this week.
It’s the �rst year the division has been included in the European Superkart Championship, the highest level of kart racing in Europe.
Ford said racing overseas was the next step in his driving career.
“I’m pretty excited for it,” he said.“We’ve been in talks with a kart
manufacturer in the United Kingdom and they were keen for us to go over and represent Australia in the karts.
“It’s de�nitely exciting, but also nerve-wracking.
“We’re going in with an open mind and just going to focus on myself.”
Ford said he was expecting between 25 to 35 other drivers in the category, most of whom would be unfamiliar to him.
He will be working with Russell Anderson.
�e Kiwi-born Englishman, one of the most respected �gures in world superkarting, runs the Anderson Karts team.
Ford won’t be heading over there alone, with his Sunbury-based team, Williams Racing, including brothers Scott and Dale Williams, also making the trip.
“I guess it’s a dream come true for all of us,” Ford said.
Plans are for Ford to compete in just one round of the championship, but he said the door had been le� open to stay in Europe a bit longer.
“We’ll see how we go and could make a call to stay over there if it’s viable for more rounds,” Ford said.
Before he le� for England, Ford competed in the �rst round of the 2016 Australian championships.
Last year, he became the �rst person to win all eight races of the 250cc national-class Australian championship.

Sunbury kart star revs up for England
In-form Lions pick up where they left offA week o� did nothing to stop Sunbury Lions’ �ne form in the Ballarat Football League.
A�er winning four straight matches before the interleague break, the Lions’ players were eager to take to the �eld against Redan.
At Mars City Oval, a ground where they don’t have a good record, the Lions put in an even performance across the board to record a 15.14 (104)-9.2 (62) win.
Only nine points separated the two teams at half-time, but Lions’ coach Rick Horwood said that was because of the Lions’ poor kicking.
“�e game was a bit of a struggle,” Horwood said.
“We missed a lot of opportunities. �e score was 5.10 to 5.1 at half-time and the margin was nine of those shots we missed.
“We got our e�ciency better in the second half and were rewarded for the e�ort. �ere
was some really good periods of football and the most complete game of football across the board we’ve played this year.”
Horwood, who was coaching the club for the 100th time, said the evenness of the players was the most impressive thing for him.
He said he expected all but one player to poll votes in the club best and fairest award. �e exception was Jack Sheahan, whose horrible run with injuries continued at the weekend.
Returning a�er an ankle injury, Sheahan le� the game early in the second quarter with a knee problem.
Already missing key forwards Josh Burgess and Jesse McInneny through injury, Horwood turned to Joe Redfern to play up forward.
“He played as a high half-forward and provided a lot of drive and was a big part of the reason we took over the game,” Horwood said.
“It’s great to see other blokes step up and play di�erent positions when they need to.”
Jack Landt kicked four goals for the Lions. Horwood said he expected Burgess to return
next week, but McInneny would miss a few more weeks a�er surgery on a broken nose.
For a second straight match, the dynamic duo of Alik Magin and Daniel Toman starred in the mid�eld.
“I’d hate to see how many possessions the two of them have had the last two rounds,” Horwood said.
“When they’re both playing it frees up the other guys. I thought Greg Hay and Tommy Donoghue played their best games of the year.”
�e Lions A-grade netballers su�ered their �rst loss of the season, losing 42-33 to Redan.

Kyneton’s Bryce Hinneberg hasn’t kicked many goals in his football career.
Better known as a back pocket player, Hinneberg entered Saturday’s Bendigo Football League game against Sandhurst without even having a shot on goal this year.
So when it was le� to him to have a kick a�er the siren to win the match, Tigers coach Luke Beattie had every reason to be nervous.
“I was as con�dent as you can be with him having his �rst shot of the season,” Beattie said.
“He’s a nice kick but he’s normally in the back pocket and doesn’t get many options up forward.
“I don’t even know how he made it into the forward line. I think he went forward when they dropped a couple of players behind the ball and we told our players to man them up.”
But Beattie had no reason for concern
Hinneberg’s the heroKyneton’s Bryce Hinneberg celebrates after kicking the winning goal after the �nal siren. (Shawn Smits)
and Hinneberg lived every player’s dream of kicking a goal a�er the siren to win the match, 14.10 (94)-13.14 (92).
�e Tigers started the better of the two sides and opened up a 31-point lead by the main break.
Beattie said they expected the Dragons to respond, which they did in the third quarter.
“�ey have had a similar side for the last four or �ve years, so we knew they would come at us,” Beattie said.
“We have struggled in third quarters this season and we were able to wrestle back the ascendency and still lead by 11 points at three quarter-time.”
�e Dragons continued to attack in the last quarter and hit the front, before Hinneberg’s mark and kick gave the Tigers the win.
Mitchell Scholard kicked six goals for the Tigers while Nick Higginson was their best on ground.
�e win sees the Tigers sit ��h on the ladder with four wins, only percentage behind third and fourth place.
Beattie said the win against Sandhurst was vital a�er dropping a game they should have won against Castlemaine.
“I’d have liked to be one more win higher than we are, but we’ve struggled with injuries,” he said. “It will really help when we get our best list back and on the park.”
Beattie said he expected to get Rhys Magin and Ryan Cara�a back in the next week or two, while Jonno Nash would return not long a�er that.
In their absence, Beattie said the likes of Hinneberg, Max Sullivan and Daniel Davie had taken their opportunities.
“�ere will be some selections questions asked when they do return,” he said.

CricketSunbury United has appointed Steve Grey as coach for the 2016-17 Gisborne and District Cricket Association season. Grey previously played for United in the early 2000s and was instrumental in helping the club win back its spot in the top comp after being relegated to B-grade. He won the competition’s Kevin Sullivan Medal for best player in 2007-08 when playing with United. More recently, Grey coached East Sunbury’s senior cricket side before making the move two seasons ago to coach their football side. He still holds that role. United �nished bottom of the McIntyre Cup ladder last season.
SoccerSunbury United drew 1-1 with Sporting Whittlesea on Saturday in FFV state league 2 north-west. Despite the draw, United remains 11th on the ladder. In state league 5 west, Kyneton District and Gisborne both suffered big losses. The Rangers lost 5-0 to Golden Plains. Gisborne lost 3-1 to Keilor Wolves.
FootballEast Sunbury’s victory over win-less Burnside Heights in Essendon District Football League division 2 made it two in a row. The Thunder restricted the Bears to just one goal in each of the last three quarters, winning 17.13 (115)-6.4 (40).

Riddell delivered a �ne four-quarter e�ort to earn a massive win over a disappointing Woodend-Hesket in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday.
With the Hawks coming o� their best win of the season in the previous round, it was expected to be a good match-up.
Instead, the Bombers controlled from the opening bounce to win 19.13 (127)-7.5 (47).
Returning to his normal spot in the forward line, James Nolan kicked three goals for the Bombers, while reigning Bowen medallist Paul Sahlberg showed his form of last year with a best-on-ground performance.
Ethan Cove was named best in what was a disappointing day all round for the Hawks, with Matt Bourke and Brandon Nicholls su�ering serious injuries.
Rupertswood and Romsey proved to be the game of the round, in a low-scoring hard-fought battle.
�ere was nothing in the game all through the match, with the Sharks �nally sneaking across the line 6.10 (46)-6.6 (42).
It was a day for the mid�elders, with Brett Chambers (Sharks) and Matthew Burkett (Redbacks) each scoring three goals.
Brent Swallow was best on ground.Elsewhere, Broadford made it successive
wins with victory over Lance�eld, kicking �ve goals to two in the second half to win 10.14 (74)-7.8 (50).
�e other three matches were one-sided a�airs, with the favourites getting up.
Macedon was too strong for Wallan winning by 39 points, Diggers Rest thrashed Melton Centrals to remain on top of the ladder and Sunbury Kangaroos’ kept Rockbank to two points in a 147-point win at Boardman Reserve. Riddell’s Brian Ruffell goes for a mark on Saturday. (Shawn Smits)

It was the same old story for the Calder Cannons in the TAC Cup clash with Western Jets on Saturday.
As in so many matches this season, the Cannons have been slow out of the blocks and had to play catch-up football.
�ey actually hit the front in the last quarter at Burbank Oval a�er trailing by 22 points at the last break.
But they couldn’t stay there and a late Jets goal clinched an 8.7 (55)-7.11 (53) win.
Cannons coach Andrew Johnston said the match was similar to several they had played this season.
“�e same old story of nearly there, but not quite,” he said.
“For a quarter and half we allowed them to get easy ball and we didn’t use the wind in the second quarter as well as we wanted to.
“With �ve or 10 minutes le� in the third quarter they had stopped and we looked OK.
“We knew it was hard to come back in those conditions and we hit the front but couldn’t sustain it.”
Johnston said it was frustrating watching his side play as poorly as it did in the �rst quarter and a half.
“When they follow instructions, we’re as good as anyone in the competition,” he said.
“When they go outside the instructions we aren’t as good.
“If you make mistakes while following instructions we can handle that.
“We’ll keep playing the boys who listen and may start playing more 17-year-olds looking ahead to next season.”
Two Sunbury boys, Zachary Guthrie and Bradley Bernacki, were again the standouts for the Cannons.
Bernacki is still 16 and in his �rst year in the under-18 side.
“�ere’s been sensational development by Zach this season,” Johnston said.
“Brad has been sensational playing on the best mid�elders in the competition. He has stood up and led the way and showed the older guys how to go about it.
“He was injured for a lot of pre-season and I wasn’t sure about what he could do. �ey kept telling me he was in our best 25 players. Now I’d say he’s in our best �ve.”
Ryan Baker also impressed in his best game for the season.
�e Cannons remain 11th on the ladder with two wins in eight matches.

Late goal beats Cannons

To put Nathan Sellwood’s achievement of playing 350 senior Big V games into perspective, look no further than his teammates.
�e teammates who took to the court with Sellwood in his 350th game haven’t played that many senior Big V games among them – and he’s at least 15 years older than most of them.
�e 38-year-old joined rare company two weekends ago in reaching the milestone, having made his senior debut at 17.
�e Jets saved the real celebrations for the home match on Saturday against Mildura. �ey won 98-75, with Ish Sanders scoring 51 points.
Sellwood said that while being in the rooms a�erwards made him feel his years, being around his young and enthusiastic teammates made playing all the more enjoyable.
Sellwood started playing basketball as an eight-year-old and has spent all but three years of his career at the Jets.
He had one year with Frankston in the South East Australian Basketball League, which was followed by playing with Sherbrooke and Diamond Valley in the Big V state championship division.
�e call of home was strong, and Sellwood has been back at the Jets since 2007.
“I still had a lot of mates playing in Sunbury,” he said.
“It’s more enjoyable to return and play with mates. Eighty per cent of my friends I have made through basketball.”
It’s at the Jets that he’s had his greatest success.
Sellwood has been part of three championships – 1999, 2008 and 2009 – and was named his division’s MVP in 2002 when he averaged 28 points a game.
In 1999 he was named rookie of the year, and he’s been selected in the all-star �ve on �ve occasions.
�e championships have brought his greatest on-court joy, saying they’re “without a doubt hard to win”.
He thinks luck has played a big part in him playing so many games.
“I missed one game with a broken �nger, but that’s it,” he said.
“I had a broken foot and surgery on my shoulder, both in the o� season.”
Sellwood originally planned to retire at the end of last season, but coach Andrew Summerville talked him into playing one more year.
“With the majority of the players who are coming through, I see something special in the group,” Sellwood said.
“If they’re committed and stay together, they can be a special team.”
Sellwood says this year will be his last with the Jets so he can spend more time with his family.
“My wife, Lauren, is so supportive and I’ve got to give a big thank you to her for allowing me to play so long,” he said.
“My young fella is �ve and is crazy about basketball. He likes running on the court and singing the song in the rooms.
Jet vet still on the ball
Nathan Sellwood has passed the 350th senior Big V game milestone. (Shawn Smits)
“My daughter is three and a little young to understand but loves coming to games. I might still play domestic basketball.”
Summerville says he’s glad Sellwood continued to play on this year.
“ ‘Sell’ might be into the later stages of his career, but he hasn’t lost any of his competitive spirit,” the coach said.
“He wants to win, he wants to be on the court as much as possible.”
Young Hawks spread their wings as club rebuildsWoodend-Hesket may have su�ered a big loss at the weekend, but its season so far has been a success.
Confronted by reigning premiers Riddell on Saturday, the Hawks were never really in the game, losing 62-22 to an undermanned Bombers.
Madeline Staresina was the Hawks’ best in their loss.
�e Hawks are now 2-3 a�er the �rst �ve matches, the same amount of wins they had all last season.
But coach Kellie Du� said the early form was a little better than expected.
“We’ve always said this year was not so much on wins, but a main focus to get the club culture
heading in the right direction,” she said. “With a lot of new structures for the club and players, we’re happy with two wins.”
Du� could be excused for being surprised by the early form – late in the o� season the Hawks struggled to �ll all four teams.
“We’ve got some old players back … and also promoted some players into higher grades,” Du� said.
“A lot of the past players who have come back haven’t played for four or �ve years, so they’re playing in the B and C-grade sides.
“With that, we’ve had to push some girls up into higher grades.”
Du� said a couple of the younger girls were shining in their new roles in the A-grade side.
“Brittany Bowen has come up from the under-19s; she’s still young enough to play in the under-17s,” Du� said.
“It’s a great opportunity for her to play seniors.
“Georgia Fearn is another out of the under-19s; we’ve given her an opportunity to play seniors some weeks.”
Du� said there was a good vibe around the club, with the relationship between the netballers and footballers continuing to grow.
In a boost for the netballers, their court was upgraded in the o� season, which means they can play all their home games at Gilbert Gordon Oval.
“All the girls are training as one big squad
and, later, we break into our teams to work on structures,” Du� said.
“�ere’s been a couple of bonding sessions and the girls are getting along really well.
“We’re happy with the team,” she said.“�e wins will come in years to come.”In other results, Rupertswood remains
undefeated a�er a hard-fought win against Romsey. �e Sharks led at every break to �nish the game 47-38.
Macedon smashed Wallan, with Tara Burnip scoring 63 goals in the 90-15 win, while Melton Centrals were too good for Diggers Rest and Lance�eld beat Broadford.

I wonder when Kia knew it was on the money with the new Sorento?
�e Korean-maker’s SUVs were once timid a�airs, with lacklustre looks that dated as soon as they rolled o� the production line.
�e past several years have seen great improvement in the Kia range, which has become a force to be reckoned with in the cut-throat SUV market.
With the Sorento, Kia has taken the improvement up another notch and this has been recognised with good sales and a swag of awards.
�e latest Sorento is bigger than previous models and feels nice and solid on the road but is by no means a truck. It has nice sweeping lines more reminiscent of the European SUVs than its direct competitors from Japan.
I drove the top-spec Platinum model, which includes extras such as leather-appointed
Kia’s Sorento shinesseats and panoramic sunroof. �e driver is well catered for with a 10-way electronic multi-adjustment seat and electric steering wheel adjustment with two memory settings.
Space is good and there’s plenty of storage for odds and sods. It even has heating for the wood-look steering wheel, which I didn’t get to test because of the mild weather. I’m thinking a steering wheel cooler would be more bene�cial for Australian conditions.
Entertainment and comms are displayed on a
seven-inch screen which does the business well. �is comes with a 10-speaker sound system with ampli�er that sounds the business. �e seven-seater provides plenty of comfort in the middle row, with heaps of leg and headroom and ni�y little sunscreens you can slide over the back door windows.
�e two rear-most seats, which fold up from the �oor of the large rear cargo area, provide relative comfort for two adults so shouldn’t trouble children at all. I drove the test vehicle to Hanging Rock with six adult passengers and the two sitting down the back reckoned they were pretty comfortable.
Everyone noticed how smooth and quiet the Sorento was as we drove up the Calder Highway.
�e suspension is �rm, tuned for Australian conditions and body roll is remarkably subtle for such a car.
It’s built for comfort. But even with seven adults weighting it down it had no issues with performance, thanks to the 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that provides a nice balance between power and economy – I averaged 8.1 litres/100 kilometres during the week I had it, which is good for a car this size.
Lower spec models have a 3.3-litre V6 petrol engine with the diesel turbo as an option costing an extra $3500.
�e Platinum is replete with active safety features including all-wheel drive, active cruise control, blind spot detection, hill-start assist, emergency stop signal, reverse camera, rear cross tra�c control.
�is is a hell of a lot of car for about $61,000 drive away, and compares incredibly well with similarly equipped competitors.
�e base model Si starts at $45,000 drive away.
