LOCAL Government is being
urged to engage more with its citizens and give them more say in
how rate income is spent within
the municipality and Macedon
Ranges Shire appears to be moving in this direction.
Councillors attending the
Rural Summit in Halls Gap last
week were told that the traditional view of councillors being
the sole decision-makers needs
to change.
“Councillors should actually
be the facilitators of the community’s decision-making process,”
keynote speaker, Cr Gaetano Greco of Darebin City Council said.
“They should be embracing
participatory budgeting as a
fundamental way of how councils
operate with their community
in order to make decisions,” he
added.
Participatory budgeting is a
practical, democratic process
which allows a community to own
their decisions instead of enduring council decrees.”
Cr Greco cited examples from
his own council in introducing a
new level of citizen engagement.
Darebin invited a cross section
of residents to form a citizen jury
to decide how council could best
spend $2 million to improve the
community through the use of
infrastructure funding.
Jury membership was canvassed from a cross section of
citizens drawn from a board spectrum of community organisations.
The jury met between May and
August in 2014 to discuss and
agree on eight recommendations
for council’s consideration.
Subsequent to this Darebin included $1 million in

COUNCIL staff are laying the groundwork for
a field of crafted red poppies which will surround the Woodend Clocktower and the Woodend Library to mark the ANZAC centenary.
Council’s parks and gardens staff are
preparing the areas around the two sites
for the project, which will go on display on
ANZAC Day, April 25.
The tribute is part of the 5000 Poppies
project, a nationwide community crafting
project that began in Melbourne in 2013.
Michael McCoy, one of Australia’s leading landscape designers, will be helping
design the display.
“We currently have over 2000 poppies
for the day and will be exploring options
for a more permanent display following
the centenary,” Ms Cockram said.
The poppies will be on display at the
Woodend Clocktower and Woodend Library
from ANZAC Day until the end of the month.

recommended projects 2014/2015
budget and has provided for a
further $1 million in its 2015/2016
budget to complete the projects
recommended by the citizen jury.
Darebin is the first council in
Victoria to introduce participatory budgeting, giving residents
decision-making power over how
capital works money is spent in
their neighbourhoods over two
years and delivering on council’s commitment of open and
accountable democracy.
Macedon Ranges Shire Council CEO, Peter Johnston, while
stopping short of committing his
council to a participatory budgeting program, agreed that consultation is an important and evolving part of decision-making.
“Council has, and will, continue to use a range of methods to
consult with the community, in
line with its community consultation framework.
“Council has not considered
what resources and planning
would be required to undertake a
participatory style consultation.
We will continue to consult in a
range of ways to ensure there is
always community input into our
decision-making.”
He said that participatory
budgeting was one of many consultation methods on the spectrum of public participation, as
recommended by the International Association for Public
Participation.
He added that council’s community consultation framework
allows for a range of levels of participation to be considered for different types of projects.

MR JOHNSTON said that there were many
elements to consultation.
“We would take into account the level of
public impact and the available resources for running consultation programs,” Mr
Johnston said.
Mr Johnston added that Macedon Ranges
councillors do not see themselves as the sole
decision makers, but rather see consultation
as a process of informed, two-way communication between council and the community
prior to a decision being made.
“While
council
has
the
ultimate
decision-making role, community input is vital to this process. Council always aims to
facilitate good decision-making by gathering
community input using a range of consultation methods. We recently updated our community consultation framework to expand
on the range of methods and approaches
that we use,” he said.
Participatory budgeting has found its way
into the policy toolbox of hundreds of local
governments across the world, from its birthplace in Brazil – its traction into Australia is
somewhat slower than in other parts. [tab]
Meanwhile Macedon Ranges Shire Council has commenced its 2015 2016 budget
preparation process with a special council
meeting to resolve to publically advertise
the draft budget and invite public submissions. This meeting will be held at 7pm on
Wednesday, April 29.
The community will have one month to
provide input to the draft budget until the
close of submissions at 11am on Friday, May
29. There will be an additional opportunity
for residents to present their submissions
in person at a council meeting at 7pm on
Wednesday, June 3.
A council meeting will then be held at 7pm
on Wednesday, June 17, to consider submissions and adopt the budget.
Equine study
now closed
COMMENTS on the draft Equine Centre Feasibility Study that looked at a range of options
for a facility to be established in Macedon
Ranges have now closed.
The draft report was open for community
comment via the online survey from Monday,
March 2, to Thursday, April 2. Written submissions were accepted until 5pm Friday, April 10.
The local community showed considerable
interest in the two information sessions in
March and many got in touch with Council officers during the exhibition period.
There has been a lot of interest with more
than 800 surveys completed to date and 109
people who attended information sessions.
Council is now reviewing the survey data
and, based on the feedback, will be preparing a
report
with
recommendations
for
consideration.
Stadium ready
MACEDON Ranges Shire Council is inviting
residents to celebrate the first community
use of the newly complete double court stadium in Gisborne. This achievement will be
celebrated by a ‘community tip-off’ match on
Monday, April 27 from 4.20pm until 5pm.
The celebrations will showcase a fun
match of basketball and netball between the
Macedon Ranges Netball Association and The
Gisborne Bulldogs Basketball Club.
The match will be followed by light refreshments and community members are encouraged to take a tour around the new double
court stadium and its facilities.
“This is a great opportunity for the community to celebrate all their hard work in achieving such a fantastic indoor sporting facility
for residents of Gisborne and its surrounds,”
Mayor, Cr Jennifer Anderson said.
The new double court stadium will be used
by the Gisborne Secondary College where
it is located, Gisborne Bulldogs Basketball
Club, Macedon Ranges Netball Association,
Sunbury Basketball Association and Gisborne
Soccer Club.
“We appreciate the Gisborne Secondary
College’s assistance with this joint use facility
and look forward to working with them for the
benefit of both their students and the general
community,” said Cr Anderson.
The $4 million facility is jointly funded by
the Victorian Government ($2.5 million) and
Macedon Ranges Shire Council ($1.5 million).
An official opening is being planned.
Curtain call: director Ian Dixon discusses his film with MRFS President Christine Wangarek.
Director visits film buffs
THE Macedon Ranges Film Society hosted Melbourne director, Ian Dixon, at its last meeting.
The film, Crushed, was made and produced
in Melbourne and director Ian Dixon met with
film society members for the screening.
He explained to the group the inspiration
behind the film and discussed some of the
finer points of film making. Crushed, made
in 2008, explores the notion of love when it
comes up against duty and the difficult position this can create.
In May, the MRFS will pay tribute to one of
the comic greats, Robin Williams, who died in
August last year.
Mike Nichols’ The Birdcage, the remake of
the classic French farce La Cage aux Folles
is bound to bring tears of laughter to the
audience as Val (Dan Futterman) attempts
to introduce his parents to his bride-to-be, a
young woman who has been brought up in
protected circumstances.
His gay father, Armand (played by Williams)
and his flamboyant partner, Albert (played
by Nathan Lane) try to make things go as
smoothly as possible, but it’s a comedy after
all, so expect the unexpected.
The Macedon Ranges Film Society meets on
the second Wednesday of every month so this
film will be shown on Wednesday, May 13, at
7.15 pm at the Woodend Community Centre.
Film notes are supplied and the film is followed by an informal supper. MRFS is a membership-based club so initial enquiries must
be made by emailing <mrfilmsociety@gmail.
com> or by phoning Christine on 5429 5452 or
Lorraine on 5427 0921.
Seeing true value in apprenticeships
EMPLOYERS in the Macedon
Ranges are being encouraged to
take on an apprentice or trainee
as a way to bring fresh ideas to
their business and keep young
people employed in their local
community.
Macedon Ranges Shire Council will hold a free workshop in
conjunction with VECCI and
Worksafe on Thursday, April 30,
to give local businesses an understanding of what’s involved.
“There’s no doubt that local
businesses who employ apprentices and trainees are adding value to their communities,” Mayor,
Cr Jennifer Anderson said.
“There are many benefits to
businesses too. Come along and
find out about what an apprentice can do for your business,
and the range of incentives for
those who choose to take this
step,” she said.
Emma Atkins, winner of last
year’s Trainee & Apprentice of
the year category in the Macedon
Ranges Business Awards, will discuss her apprenticeship journey
with workshop attendees. Emma
is employed by Bella, The Cut &
Colour Salon, in Woodend.
“My experience was highly
rewarding and I thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to
gain experience in such an outstanding salon,” she said.
Emma added that it was important it is to increase employment opportunities available to
young people in the shire.
Emma Fleming, part owner of
Bella, The Cut and Colour Salon
agrees.
“Putting on apprentices in a
small business is invaluable. They
are generally young, eager to learn
and a great asset to your team.
“Not only do you get the opportunity to groom and grow
them your way from the word
go, but you get to create a career
path for them to step through
and move through the ranks of
your business long term.
We highly recommend putting
on apprentices and see them to be
the future of our business. Everyone benefits,” Ms Fleming said.
Speakers at the workshop will
include Tricia Smith, group leader
operations and emergency management at Worksafe, and John
McGlone, consultant at VECCI.
The workshop will be held
on Thursday, April 30, from
5.30pm to 7.30pm at the Gisborne Council offices. More details can be found at Council’s
website, <mrsc.vic.gov.au/business-events>.
It is free to attend, however
RSVP is essential for catering
purposes.

Aquathon
series
success
THE final Aquathon for 2015 was held on
Sunday, April 12, at the Gisborne Aquatic Centre, to coincide with the centre’s 10th birthday
anniversary celebrations.
This was the last of the four race series and
it didn’t disappoint, measuring up to the success of the first Aquathon held earlier in the
year in Lancefield.
New competitors from the Gisborne area
joined in the fun along with the series candidates who competed in at least three of the
four races.
In near perfect conditions, competitors in
the long and short courses commenced the
run leg.
They headed through Jackson’s Creek
Reserve around to the Botanical Gardens,
completing a looped course crossed Jackson
Creek back to the Aquatic Centre.
Our lead cyclist Wayne Brown had several competitors hot on his tail as he led them
through the course.
The pool was where the action took place
with several lead changes between the
short course competitors, however Patrick
Matthews, again, was the clear winner in the
long course.
Sixteen mini course competitors lined up
for their event to complete a 500m run and
a 50m swim. A large crowd of parents and
grandparents lined the course to provide
encouragement for these upcoming athletes.
Congratulations to the series winners, Cameron Anderson—Short Course (male), Kezia
Laker— Short Course (female) and Patrick
Matthews—Long Course (male) and to all
competitors who completed either individual
events or the series.
Thanks were given to the volunteers who
supported the Macedon Ranges Aquathon
Series and to all the sponsors for providing fruit,
prizes and donations throughout the events.

ANZAC
Day
Impressive display: Romsey Country Women’s Association’s treasurer Susy Jarman, Jenifer Gluyas, Wendy
Foster, president Pat Muddyman and craft leader Melva Beer arrange knitted poppies ahead of ANZAC Day.
CWA’s ANZAC poppy tribute
DOZENS of red hand-knitted poppies will pay homage
to those who served in war at the Romsey/Lancefield
ANZAC centenary commemorations.
The Romsey Country Women’s Association has been
working tirelessly to create more than 100 poppies for
the special tribute since January.
Many of the poppies will form an arrangement that
will be laid with wreaths at the cenotaph and will be kept
at the Romsey RSL following the service.
As part of the ANZAC centenary, the CWA group will
also take on an embroidery project which will see the
names of about 250 service men and women from Romsey stitched into a fabric wall hanging.
The embroidery will hang in the Romsey Mechanics’
Institute near the Romsey RSL clubrooms. Each of the
names will be accompanied by a knitted poppy.
The Romsey CWA group has about 11 members
and are always seeking more support for community
projects and for new members to join.
The CWA has been involved with various groups over
the years and projects such as creating pamper packages for oncology at The Kilmore and District Hospital,
making aprons for primary school groups, and helping
to put on morning teas at local fundraising events.
“If you like doing things for the community then come
along,” president Pat Muddyman said.
The Romsey CWA meets on the first Thursday of the
month for a meeting and craft session, and the third
Thursday of every month for a craft day.
“You don’t have to be experienced to take part,” treasurer Susy Jarman said.
“Many members seem to have their own area of expertise and will teach others new skills. We support each
other. It’s about women empowering women.”
For details about the group drop into one of its next
meetings at the Romsey Mechanics’ Institute.
ROMSEY, Lancefield

No Kilmore Scout market
on ANZAC Day
APRIL
29
KILMORE Scout Troop has
advised its scheduled market will not be held this Saturday due to the town’s ANZAC commemorations.
While the market is a
popular monthly event in
Kilmore, the Scouts decided that the significance of
the ANZAC centenary far
outweighed any benefits
the market may bring to the
town on Saturday.
A spokesperson for the
Scouts said that the troop
would again be working with
the RSL and assisting with
the post Dawn Service breakfast and will be joining in the
march that will step off at
10:30 am from the corner of
Union and Sydney streets.
“As in past years we will
be active participants in
Kilmore’s ANZAC commemorations,” he said.
“Like many Australian
community organisations,
we are marking our respect
for ANZAC and our veterans.
“We continue to be proud
supporters of the RSL and in
this important year.”

Expo raised the standard
KILMORE Art Expo’s eighth year was celebrated in style at the Kilmore Memorial Hall over
the weekend of April 10-12.
Known as one of the region’s most popular
events on the art calendar, the show attracted
entries from talented local artists as well as artists from interstate, all vying for ‘Best in Show’.
This year’s art judge, Archibald Packing
Room prize winner Raelene Sharp, said the
quality of work was outstanding.
“It was obvious to me when I walked in the
door that this would be a tough expo to judge
– there are some very talented artists who
participated this year,” she said.
“When I am judging an art expo I am looking
for the ‘wow factor’…and it doesn’t have to be
a large work to have that special quality.”
Ms Sharp said Robert Knight’s work, ‘High
Light at Hanging Rock’, achieved exactly that.
She said Knight’s work stood out with its attractive and unusual viewpoint.
More than 20 cash prizes were awarded
across all sections in this year’s expo including a youth category for photography and art,
and a new award for wearable art.
Kilmore Art Expo director Jill Mattei congratulated everyone who had their work exhibited and thanked the expo committee, and
caterers Helen and Julie Jones.
Ms Mattei also thanked outgoing art expo
director Andrea Willis for establishing the
expo and a connection with the Southern
Mitchell Rotary Club.

Better odds for Seymour
FROM Tuesday, April 14, the
‘Better Odds in Seymour’
campaign will highlight the
array of local activities on
offer in the community of
Seymour.
The campaign was primarily
designed to encourage people
who gamble to try something
different but has something to
interest everyone.
Whether you like gardening or do-it-yourself projects,
playing sports, learning new
hobbies and crafts or even if
you just like to sit back and
relax; whatever you do, the
‘Better Odds in Seymour’
campaign has it covered.
‘Get out and about’ is the
campaign’s simple message
to encourage people in Seymour to try out a new activity
or pastime available within
the community.
Through the campaign, a
wide range of social and community groups will be showcasing and sharing their activities with the community.
“Keep an eye out for the
campaign posters, flyers and
brochures that will show you
how, where and when you can
become involved with groups
and activities happening in
Seymour,” Mitchell Shire Mayor Rodney Parker said.
“This could be taking part
in a new activity, a new class,
joining a new club or simply
going on a walk with family
and friends.”
The Better Odds in Seymour campaign is a joint initiative between Mitchell Shire
Council and the Victorian Local Governance Association.
The campaign is funded
by the VLGA and delivered
by Mitchell Shire Council in
partnership with community groups and organisations
in Seymour.

NORTH CENTRAL REVIEW / THE FREE PRESS, Tuesday, April 21, 2015
February 2014 “MICKLEHAM BUSHFIRE”
NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION
Persons who suffered loss or damage as a result of the Mickleham bushfire which started on 9 February 2014 near the eastern edge of Mickleham Road, Mickleham
(“the Mickleham bushfire”) should TAKE NOTICE that a class action has been commenced in the Supreme Court of Victoria (“the Court”).
The class action has been commenced on behalf of all persons who, as a result of the Mickleham bushfire, suffered any of the following:
(a) personal injury (whether physical or psychiatric);
(b) loss of or damage to property; or
(c) economic loss not resulting from loss of or damage to property.
Persons who fit that description are called “group members” in the class action. The group members also include any “legal personal representatives” of the
estates of any deceased person who would otherwise have qualified as a group member.
The Court has ordered that this notice be published to inform the group members about the action.
If you are, or think you might be a group member, you should READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY as it may affect your rights.
1. What is the Mickleham bushfire class action?
The plaintiff in the Mickleham bushfire class action is Steven
Elliot Williams. He is suing the defendants on his own behalf
and on behalf of all persons who suffered personal injury,
loss of or damage to property and economic loss (as outlined
above) as a result of the Mickleham bushfire. Those other
persons are called the “group members”. The effect of the
class action on the group members is explained below.
The defendants to the class action are AusNet Electricity
Services Pty Ltd (“AusNet Services”), Hume City Council
(“Hume CC”) and Active Tree Services Pty Ltd (“Active Tree
Services”).
Briefly, Mr Williams alleges that AusNet Services owned and
operated a three-phase 66kV electricity sub-transmission
line which in part runs adjacent to the eastern side of
Mickleham Road between Mount Ridley Rd and Bardwell
Drive, Mickleham (“the powerline”). Mr Williams alleges
that Hume CC had duties to manage vegetation in the
Mickleham Road Reserve and that Active Tree Services
were contracted by AusNet Services to have responsibility
for the assessment of vegetation clearances surrounding the
powerline. Mr Williams alleges that on 9 February 2014 the
Mickleham bushfire started because of breach of duties by
AusNet Services in the maintenance and operation of the
powerline and by Hume CC and Active Tree Services in
vegetation management in the vicinity of the powerline.
Mr Williams claims compensation and other remedies for
himself and for each of the group members.
All defendants deny they are liable for the Mickleham bushfire,
and are defending the class action. AusNet Services has
also made counter-claims against Hume CC and Active Tree
Services in response to Mr William’s allegations.
The claims made by Mr Williams are set out in a “Further
Amended Statement of Claim” filed in the Court. AusNet
Services has filed a Defence and Counter Claims. Hume City
Council and Active Tree Services have also filed defences.
Copies of those documents can be viewed:
• on the Supreme Court website at www.supremecourt.vic.
gov.au.; or
• on the Maddens Lawyers’ website at www.
maddenslawyers.com.au.
2. What does it mean to be a group member?
The plaintiff in a class action does not need consent from the
group members to start or run the class action. A person is a
group member if they fit the definition of group members set
out in the court papers filed by the plaintiff.
If the Court makes orders or gives a judgment, or the
class action is settled, the results are “binding” on the
group members. This means that if the class action is
successful, group members may be eligible for a share of
the compensation.
If the action is unsuccessful, group members will not be able
to sue on the same claims in any other litigation.
If you fit the definition of “group member” set out earlier then
member then you need to make a choice between the
following three options:
you are already a group member in the Mickleham class
action. You do not need to remain a group member. If you
do not wish to be a group member then you can “opt out” of
the class action. This procedure is explained below.
Option A – register to participate in any settlement
If you are not a client of Maddens Lawyers and you wish to
participate in any settlement then you must complete the
“Notice of Registration” which is Form A below. This is
not a costs agreement with Maddens. It simply registers
you as a group member so that you are “bound” by the
class action. This means that if the action is successful
then you may be entitled to compensation. If the action
fails then you will not be able to sue the defendants for the
same claims in any other litigation. If you wish to register
you must do so by sending your Form A notice to Maddens
Lawyers at the address shown on the form, before 22 May
2015. This date is called the “Closure Date” in the class
action.
3. Will group members be liable for legal costs?
Group members will not become liable for any legal costs
simply by remaining as group members.
However, if the class action is successful and there is
a judgment or settlement that results in compensation
becoming payable to group members, then:
• first, the Court may make an order that some of the
compensation be used to help pay a share of the “common”
costs incurred by Mr Williams in bringing the action for the
benefit of the class. Mr Williams will ask for that order if the
occasion arises;
• second, judgments and settlements in class actions
often involve procedures requiring group members to
submit claims for a share of the available compensation.
You might want to engage solicitors to assist you with those
procedures. Whether you use the same solicitors as Mr
Williams (Maddens) or other solicitors, you are likely to
need to enter a costs agreement with those solicitors and
they will charge you for that work.
Option B – cease to be a group member by “opting out”
If you do not wish to be a group member then you must
complete the Form B “Notice of Opting Out” below. If you
opt out then you will cease to be a group member. The
class action will not affect your rights. If you wish to bring
a separate claim against the defendants then you may
be able to do so, but you should seek independent legal
advice if you wish to take that course because time limits
will apply to your claim. If you wish to opt out you must do
so by sending your Form B notice to the Supreme Court
before the Closure Date of 22 May 2015.
Maddens are acting in the class action on a “no win, no fee”
basis. If the action is successful then the costs they will be
entitled to charge will include a premium (“uplift”) permitted
by the Legal Profession Act. The uplift will be calculated
at 25% of the professional fees covered by the no-win, nofee arrangement and will form part of the costs shared by
successful group members.
Option C – do nothing and lose your rights in settlement
(but not judgment)
If you do nothing – that is, neither register nor opt out –
then you will remain a group member and be bound by the
outcome of the class action. If there is a successful judgment
you will be able to participate in the implementation of that
judgment, but if there is a settlement you will not be entitled
to participate in the settlement. That means you would lose
your rights to sue, but also not be entitled to compensation.
4. What if you had insurance?
Many group members had insurance but sometimes the
insurance did not cover all the items lost (uninsurance), or
did not cover the full value of a given item (underinsurance).
If you received insurance payments, but think that the
insurance did not fully compensate your losses, you will be a
group member in respect of any uninsured or underinsured
losses (together, above-insurance losses).
If you wish to be a group member to claim any aboveinsurance losses, you need to register using the procedure
described below. Your insurance company will need
to register separately to recover compensation for the
insurance payout made to you. You and your insurer are
also entitled to “opt out” your respective interests, if either
of you wishes to do so. Your insurance company will be
separately notified about its rights in this regard.
It is very important that you act promptly in deciding what
you want to do. If you are not sure whether you are a group
member, or you want further information or advice, you can
contact Maddens Lawyers on 03 5560 2000 or email cam@
maddenslawyers.com.au.
6. Where do I send my registration or opt-out form?
Any Form A or Form B notice must reach the address shown
on the relevant Form before 4pm on 22 May 2015.
7. Further information
Please consider the above information carefully. If you are
not sure whether you are a group member, or want further
information, you can contact Maddens Lawyers, or seek your
own legal advice. Please act promptly since the deadline
for registering or opting out is 22 May 2015.
Maddens Lawyers can be contacted at 219 Koroit Street,
Warrnambool or by telephone on (03) 5560 2000, or by email
to [cam@maddenslawyers.com.au].
5. What do group members need to do?
If you fit the definition of “group member” set out above then
you are already a group member in the Mickleham bushfire
class action.
The Court has now made orders to clarify what claims are
covered by the class action. If you think you are a group

Dead
fish
floating
ABOUT 50 fish have been found
dead in the Kilmore Creek as the
result of a sewerage spill caused
by a pipe blockage.
The fish, found at the council
reserve on the corner of Piper
and White streets, were recently reported to the Environment
Protection Authority by a local
resident who regularly uses the
walking tracks around the creek.
EPA officers visited the site last
week to investigate the incident
and take samples to help determine the cause of the fish deaths.
The affected fish are believed
to be mostly carp and tench.
Fortunately there have been
no reports of dead native fish or
platypus. The creek is recognised
as a local habitat for platypuss
and some native fish species.
Mitchell Shire Council’s Parks
and Environment Unit has recorded sightings of platypus between
Union and Mill Streets as recently
as 2013.
Goulburn Valley Water cleaned
up the site last week, believing
the cause of the spill was due to a
blockage of tree roots and fat solids built up in sewer pipe.
GVW operations manager Steven Nash said the blockage was
cleared by 11am on the day it was
reported and efforts were made to
remove fish and begin a clean-up.
“The fats people wash down
their sinks do make a difference,”
Mr Nash said.“We have put in
place a program to further repair

MEMBERS of the Kilmore and District Hospital Auxiliary are now selling tickets for
their annual Mother’s Day raffle.
Tickets are now being sold outside
Coles Kilmore and will also be sold during
a cake stall to be held outside the Kilmore
Newsagency on Friday, May 8.
The raffle will be drawn during the auxiliary’s meeting to be held later that day.
People are encouraged to visit the stall,
buy a cake, slice, trifle or sausage roll. There
will also be gifts available for purchase.
Those who would like to donate baked
goods to sell can bring them to the stall
from 9am.
Sewer spill: residents were warned away from Kilmore Creek after a sewer spill last week
the pipe over the next five weeks.
“We will clean the sewer out
again to minimise any risk. We
also have an officer in town
checking grease traps.”
Signs have been erected by
Mitchell Shire Council warning
the public to avoid contact with
the creek and advising that livestock be kept away.
A spokesperson from the EPA
said no new reports of dead fish
at Kilmore Creek have occurred
since the EPA was first notified of
the incident on April 13.
EPA is assisting Goulburn Valley Water to clean up the dead
fish and is continuing its monitoring of the waterway, which
includes testing samples of water
from the creek. Results are due
back shortly.
Recent rainfall has provided
the system with a significant flush
which has helped improve the
creek’s water quality.
Local drinking supplies have
not been affected. GVW continues
to monitor the waterway.
Signs warning the public to avoid
contact with the creek and advising
animals to be kept away will remain
in place until water quality has returned to normal levels.
EPA encourages members of
the public to report suspected
pollution of the environment to
EPA on 1300 372 842.

Custodians of the ANZAC spirit
From page 1
THEY sat mounted in silence to
the side of the memorial dedication at Wandong last week – not
part of the ceremony, yet very
much part of it.
They were members of the
100 Year Ride-Back making the
journey home for those who
couldn’t after the Great War 100
years ago.
The riders were retracing
some of the tracks that the
young men from country Victo-
ria took to enlist in the war. Many
left on horseback and headed for
Melbourne and many never came
back.
The silent riders in blue
are coming back on their behalf.
Their path covers distances
similar to those of a daily ride
for the Light Horse.
The trio had left Melbourne
two days earlier, overnighting in
Whittlesea and pausing in Wandong on their way back to Corryong on the upper Murray. One
rider carried a lantern lit by the
eternal flame at the Shrine of Re-
membrance and was flanked by
two bearing Australian flags.
Corryong residents, Heidi and
Mark Walton, along with Bridget
Waters trained for seven months
for the marathon ride which, by
the time they reach home, will
have covered over 500 kilometres.
Ms Waters had family members who served in WW I, while
Mr Walton is a relation of Sir William Glasgow, who was appointed major in the 2nd Light Horse
Regiment and sat with Churchill
and Roosevelt during peace
talks at the end of WWII.
No doubt they were reflecting
on their heritage as they watched
the school children place their
poppies on the new memorial,
themselves making a significant
contribution to the day.
The ceremony finished and
the riders left as quietly as they
had arrived – completing the
first part of their ride by bringing
home the souls of the 31 Wandong lads who did not return.
Wandong’s place of memory
Impressive parade: A crowd of some 500 turned out in perfect Autumn conditions for the unveiling.

THIS memorial is the product of the local
community and signifies a place where all can
come together.
With those words the Governor of Victoria, His Excellency the Honourable Alex
Chernov, unveiled and dedicated the town’s
new war memorial.
“It is a wonderful monument and one that
the people of Wandong and district can be justifiably proud,” His Excellency said.
The memorial is the latest addition to the
Wandong Memorial Park and sits beside the
iconic black Saturday memorial – which too is
an homage to courage and sacrifice.
The memorial was inspired by the Seymour
Vietnam Veterans Memorial Walk and shares
the same impressive Digiglass display with
imagery on both sides of a single glass sheet.
The crowd of close to 500 people listened as
His Excellency encapsulated the history of the
town’s commitment to the Great War and the
conflicts that followed.
Successive speakers told of the 31 local
lads who did not return and the Lieutenant
from Wandong who became Victoria’s first VC
hero. Lieutenant Leslie Cecil Maygar who was
born in Wandong on May 27 1868 and became
a recipient of the Victoria Cross, for service in
the Second Boer War.
At the completion of the dedication of the
memorial wreaths were laid by his Excellency,
Rob Mitchell, Member for McEwen, Cr Rodney
Parker, Mitchell Shire Mayor, representatives
of the RSL, veterans of World War II and the
Wandong Primary School Captains.
The 325 students from Wandong Primary
School each them placed a poppy at the foot
of the memorial. Proud adults looked on as
the bagpipes sung their mournful tune.
The school was closed for the occasion, but
the kids did not seem to mind – after all it’s
not every day that a Governor comes to town.
The service concluded and around 100
people then moved to the Wandong Public
Hall for the launch of Karen Christensen’s
book, “There Was a Soldier, Who Wandered
Far Away.”
Karen’s work sprung from research of those
who served from Wandong for the memorial.
Karen delved into the history of the local soldiers and of the difficult times for the small
community that was left behind.
Proceeds from the book will enable the
Wandong History Group continue its work.
The memorial committee secured both Federal and State government grants along with
funding from the Wallan Bendigo Community
Bank. The memorial’s inaugural ANZAC Day
service will be held at 1pm on April 25.
Respect: Wandong Primary School captains Ben Drury and Alesha McIntosh lay a wreath
at the newly dedicated memorial.
Unveiling: The Governor of Victoria, His Excellency the Honourable Alex Chernov, delivers
his address at the unveiling of the new memorial.

Farewell: (From left to right): Andrea, Barb, Julie-Ann, Carolyn, Debbie and Lynette enjoying
a farewell night out.
Barbara looks back
on 28 years of caring
BARBARA Parry has seen a
lot of changes in care over the
past 28 years, having started
working for the Broadford
Shire as a carer in the 1980’s.
In the 28 years that she has
been a carer she has been
involved in personal care,
respite and household tasks,
having cared for 205 clients
over the period as well as
having cared for 12 families
with disabled children who
required respite.
into Mitchell Shire, carers
were transferred to Mitchell Community Health. Following this Barb worked
for Australian Home Care
for a while before returning to Mitchell Community
Health, which was eventually changed to Nexus.
Now that she has retired,
she is keen to start travelling and has decided to reignite her passion for painting
once again.
Barb considers her time
as a carer as an enormous
pleasure and tremendous experience to have known her
clients throughout the years.
There have been both sad
and happy times but overall
it was an absolute joy. She
would like to thank all her
clients for the opportunity of
having her in their homes.

Lest We Forget: 1914 - 1918
William Clarence Neill
William was born at Broadford in 1892, the sixth
son of John and Sarah Grace Neill (nee Baker).
The family were pioneers of Sunday Creek,
and William, like his uncle and brothers, was
a member of the citizen’s rifles, spending four
years in the 15th Lighthorse.
He enlisted in the AIF on January 29, 1916,
and was appointed to the 24th Infantry Battalion – 9 to 12 Reinforcements.
William, No. 4742, was single and a farmer.
He was 23 years and seven months old, five
feet 6¾ inches with blue eyes, auburn hair and
a fair complexion.
His next of kin was his father, John Neill of High
Street Broadford. William embarked on April 4,
1916, aboard the HMAT Euripides, along with his
brother Allan and three of his local mates.
During the months of training in England,
William was struck down with a case of measles and was admitted to the Brimstone Bottom Hospital for two weeks.
In early September he was in France at the
transit depot at Etaples and two weeks later
marched out to the front line.
Patrolling in the extreme cold and labouring
in the sodden trenches of the front line took
its toll on many of the men and in late October,
William was sent to hospital after becoming
sick in the field.
He was found to have Goitre and sent back
to England for further tests. By February
1917 it was decided William was unfit for
duty and he embarked aboard HT Ulysses
bound for Australia.
Discharged June 25, 1917, William was
awarded the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
After the returning to Australia, William was
employed by the Postal Department and was,
for many years, stationed in various parts of
the State. He married Ruth Eileen Reid in 1919
and the couple had a son, John.
After retiring the family moved back to the
area, living at Tyaak before William’s ill health
prompted their move back to Melbourne.
William died in the Royal Melbourne Hospital on the February 18, 1955, and was interred
at the Springvale Cemetery.

Nicholas was born at Broadford in 1888,
son of Abraham and Angelia Sophia Neill
(nee White).
Nicolas, like his father, was a saw miller - the family running a saw mill at Strath
Creek before moving to Elsternwick, where
Nicholas was living at the time he enlisted
on March 1, 1918. He was appointed to the
36th Australian heavy Artillery Group.
Nicholas, No 1379 was 28 years and four
months old; he was single and five feet
eight inches tall, with brown hair, brown
eyes and a fresh complexion.
His next of kin was his father Abraham.
He embarked at Sydney on June 5,1918,
aboard RMS Orontes.
In August that same year, Nicholas
marched into the heavy Artillery Training Depot at Devonport, England to begin
training before being deployed to the front.
Unfortunately, ten days later he was
transferred to the 4th Scottish General Hospital in Glasgow with influenza and a week
later it had degenerated into Pneumonia
and he died.
Nicholas was buried at the Western Necropolis, Glasgow with full military honours,
the following description of the funeral was
sent to his grieving parents in Australia:
Burial report regarding funeral, 25/10/1918
The deceased soldier was accorded a
full military funeral, Firing party, Bugler
and Pall-bearers being in attendance. The
coffin was draped with the Union Jack
and surrounded by beautiful wreaths sent
from; Lady Primrose, Mrs Jarvis, hospital
patients and staff. Patients from the hospital followed the remains to the graveside
and the last post was sounded. The grave
will be turfed and an oak cross erected by
the A.I.F. London. Administrative Headquarters A.I.F. London were represented.
Two parcels were sent back to Nicholas’s family, one from the hospital in Scotland which contained two coins, one money belt, two razors, one letter, one holdall,
one mirror in case and £8.14.11, the other
from his Barracks in Tidworth containing
his clothes, pipe, books and wallet.
Nicholas was posthumously awarded
the 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and
the Victory Medal.

Rotary – The future is a
mix of youthful enthusiasm
and experience
One of the key principles of Rotary is learning
through professional partnerships, and
recently this was evident at the annual district
conference held in Wangaratta. Members
from the Rotary Club of Southern Mitchell
recently joined over 400 other Rotarians
from neighbouring clubs to hear about the
wonderful service occurring throughout
District 9790. This year’s theme focused on
young people and how Rotary can harness
their enthusiasm to providing improved
service in the future.
Daniel Flynn is CEO of the “Thankyou
Water Group”, a social movement centred on
a business he founded when he was just 19
years. Initially it was to provide clean drinking
water to third world countries but now it also
distributes hygiene products and some food
aid. By taking profits from everyday consumer
products he was able to start funding lifechanging projects, many of which are also
focussed on education.
Daniel’s presentation highlighted his ability
to think outside the conventional model
usually followed in a business set up and in
particular the use of social media to advertise
and rapidly expand the concept. ‘Why not do
it this way ….’ quickly allowed him to think
outside the square.
The products are found at leading
supermarkets throughout Australia.
Ashley

committed
environmentalist who financed her trip
as a member of the 2014 Antarctic Youth
Ambassador project. She was one of 20 people
worldwide and gave a passionate insight into
the need to keep Antarctica protected from
future mineral exploration and development.
Holly Ranson a young Rotary president,
who has been Young Australian Volunteer of
the Year, spoke about the challenges facing
leadership team building today. She was chair
of the 2014 G20 Youth Summit in Australia.
Her presentation highlighted ways that
organisations can recruit new members using
social media and the branding. It is important
to stress what makes Rotary appealing
(answer the question – why do I find Rotary
interesting?) rather than listing the projects
that it supports. Holly’s suggestion for future
growth in Rotary used the enthusiasm of youth
and the new opportunities based around
social media, mixed with the experience and
wisdom of older members.
This conference allowed the Southern
Mitchell Rotary Club members to hear about
the fantastic service being carried out by our
youth and will inspire them to greater things
in the future.

Club of Southern Mitchell or District 9790

Burning
problems
Cross about
the crossing
EDITOR: There was a
lot of burning off happening recently. I am
opposed to burn-offs.
They increase the
problem next year in
that the carbon content of the soil is increased and more luxuriant growth occurs.
The burn-offs kill
lots of life on and in
the soil and this leads
to an imbalance of nature in that rotting humus gets burnt and future soil is destroyed.
Lightning strikes
are part of the cycle
of nature which we
should live with and
not replicate. Fire
breaks are needed
for protecting houses but that can be
achieved
without
burn offs.
I find it quite odd
that the fire stick
method has become
an honoured management technique. We
have inherited a misconception of its use.
The extreme bushfires like that of 2009
can’t be stopped or
controlled by burnoffs.
Michael Daunt,
Heathcote Junction.
EDITOR: A few days
ago we at Wandong
had a near miss at the
railway
pedestrian
crossing that again
prompts my committee to ask the railway
authority concerned.
When are they going
to make the crossing
safe for pedestrians?
We had a mother
of twin four year old
boys crossing from
Rail St heading for the
shops and skate park.
One of the toddlers
was a little in front of
the mother and the
second one who with
a slightly heavier bike
was having trouble
over the rough path
when a train heading
north came around
the bend. The train
driver could obviously see what was happening and sounded
his horn, the mother
could only yell to the
child in front to stay
there and hope he did
so, as the train continued through the
station
separating
her from that child.
We are most thankful that the child did
as his mother had
said, and stayed
where he was, so no
real harm was done
this time except for
a mother who twenty minutes later was
still in shock and
shaking because of
the near miss.
Our
committee
has asked on several occasions that
something be done
about the crossing.
I am told we have
the only pedestrian
crossing
between
Melbourne and Seymour that does not
have proper controlled gates and
warning system in
place.
Do we have to wait
until someone is
killed before something is done to protect our community?
David Moran.

Community Group
Wonderful
dedication
EDITOR: I cannot let
go past without comment the wonderful
day that the town of
Wandong- Heathcote
Junction experienced
on April 15 for the
dedication of the new
war memorial.
My comments are
directed to the Wandong Primary School,
the whole school attended. The children
then quietly took their
places and sat while
the service was underway, then led by the
captains who respectfully laid the school
wreath and vice captains the whole school
then placed poppies in
tribute to our soldiers.
The grade six children were given the
task of pairing with
the foundation class
children and helping
them to lay their poppies.
This they
did very diligently
holding the hands of
the little ones as they
guided them through
the field of crosses.
The school leadership group then
attended at the hall
where
my
book,
“There Was a Soldier,
Who Wandered Far
Away was launched.
The children sat
quietly
together
during the speeches
then began to help
the caterers by handing the food around
to all present.
It was a delight to
have them attend and
their assistance on
the day was invaluable. The children
were polite and respectful of the event
and an absolute credit to the school.
Karen Christensen,
Wandong.

Tips for clean heating
CFA issues advice
on district burn-offs
CFA is urging people to take extreme care
when burning off after responding to a high
volume of out-of-control burn-offs recently.
Firefighters across the state attended more
than 30 burn-offs which had spread out-ofcontrol, or weren’t registered with authorities.
CFA State Duty Officer Craig Brownlie said
rainfall earlier in the year had resulted in a significant amount of vegetation growth.
“We understand residents want to conduct
private burn-offs in areas where fire restrictions have ended, but we ask the community
to follow some basic rules,” he said.
“We’re urging people to do the right thing
by checking conditions and registering their
burn-offs.”
Burning off undergrowth and other vegetation is generally permitted outside of the Fire
Danger Period, however landowners should
register their burn-off with the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA)
by calling 1800 668 511.
“Any calls to Triple Zero about smoke sighted at particular locations are cross-checked
with the burn-off register. When nothing is
listed firefighters are required to attend,” Mr
Brownlie said.
“Calls to unregistered burn-offs take volunteer firefighters away from workplaces, families and potentially genuine emergencies.
“So if you haven’t registered your burn you
can expect fireys arriving at your property
asking you to ‘please explain’.”
Landowners can also reduce the risk of
a fire spreading by never leaving a burn-off
unattended and checking the weather forecast. You should never burn off in hot, dry, or
windy conditions.
“If a fire is left unattended in windy conditions it can spread quickly and put neighbouring properties, homes and bushland in danger,” he said.
“People should also leave a three-metre fire
break, free of flammable materials around any
burn-off.”

HOUSEHOLDERS should consider other options before
they buy new wood-burning
heaters, an air pollution expert says.
PAUL Torre, senior applied
scientist for air and odour at
Victoria’s Environment Protection Authority, says consumers should at least ensure their new wood heater
meets Australian standards,
while a few simple tips can
ensure any wood heater produces less smoke.
“Wood heaters are a nice
thing to have. The thing is
that people should consider,
if they are really concerned
about air pollution and the
health impacts, maybe to look
at other forms of energy and
heating,” Dr Torre told AAP.
“I think it’s worth considering that because people
should consider that smoke
does impact on health, and
it would be good to manage
and reduce those impacts.
“But there are practical
ways to reduce those
impacts.”
Cold, still autumn and
winter nights are the prime
time for air pollution from
wood heating, especially in
regional areas off the natural
gas system.
On still nights, smoke
drains into lower areas and
can hang in the air as late as
noon the next day, affecting
people including those with
respiratory or heart complaints, Dr Torre said.
The heater’s design and
the fuel it burns are major factors in the smoke it
emits, he said.
Dr Torre’s tips to minimise wood heating pollution include ensuring your
new wood heater meets the
Australian Standard, regular maintenance, cleaning
the heater and flue once a
year, burning dry wood,
preferably hardwood, and
opening the heater’s vents
to enhance combustion and
prevent smouldering.

Five star experience
TOYOTA Australia has added Seymour Toyota
to its list of top performing dealerships as the
latest winner of the company’s 5-Star awards
for guest experience.
Customers, or guests, of participating Toyota dealerships were independently surveyed
to determine their level of satisfaction with
the sales process and their experience with
the vehicle service department.
The 5-Star Guest Experience Dealership
Award recognised Seymour Toyota as a dealership that has consistently met a strict set
of criteria by offering exceptional customer
service and routinely exceeding customer
expectations.
Toyota Australia executive director sales
and marketing Tony Cramb said the only way
a dealer can achieve maximum 5-Star status is
with a ‘Guest First’ culture.
“This is where customers are essentially
treated as guests of the dealership, and by
continuously striving to improve their service
and support,” he said.
Mr Cramb said he was pleased that Seymour Toyota had achieved the highest-possible guest satisfaction status.
“This award program demonstrates our commitment to raising the already high standard of
service across the Toyota dealer network.”
Seymour Toyota dealer principal, Adam Dove
said that he was thrilled that his team had
achieved such a high status within the industry.
“It is an exciting initiative, that provides
Seymour Toyota guests with the best possible service from skilled and knowledgeable
staff,” Adam said.
Seymour Toyota now takes its proud
place alongside 88 Toyota Dealers who
achieved the 5-Star combined rating for
sales and service, as measured against
rigorous criteria.
“You can expect the very best experience
from our 5-Star staff – the kind you’d be happy
to recommend to anyone,” Adam said.

Going solar
made very easy
POPULAR local solar contractor
Blue Tongue Solar has now helped
power close to 400 homes in country Victoria.
Home owners who have installed Blue Tongue Solar systems
are finding that their power bills
are reducing and they are helping
the environment.
Blue Tongue Solar was founded in
2010 by husband and wife team Warren and Teresa Hall. Blue Tongue
Solar is based in Bolinda, between
Wallan and Romsey.
Since then the company has grown
a reputation amongst industry peers
as a highly organised and knowledgeable company. Increasingly being sought after to project manage
larger commercial installations.
Warren provides photovoltaic systems Australia wide – producing low
cost power and reducing (or eliminating) net energy costs for the owners.
Blue Tongue Solar systems now
produce 2.4 Gigawatts of power per
annum for Victoria
Components for the solar systems
are tested often by Warren and certified to comply with all Australian
standards.
His attention to detail through
design and engineering helps Blue
Tongue to achieve the highest yields
especially on larger complex systems.
Warren says that Blue Tongue
Solar systems are priced in the lower
end of the premium component
market and adds that this is due to
better business planning and low
overheads.
“At Blue Tongue Solar we understand that the decision to install solar power can be a difficult one due
to the seemingly large initial investment, changing rebates and large
amounts of often contradictory information,” he said.
Theresa adds that they take pride
in taking care of customers from
start to finish.
“We provide a system size and
design recommendation to suit
the building’s energy requirements
along with an investment analysis
estimate showing future savings and
the payback period,” Theresa said.
Some examples of savings by customers include a $410 bill from a
couple in Kilmore, reduced to $48
with a 3kw System installed.
A family in Yarrawonga’s $680 bill
reduced to $95 with a 5kW system
and a $900 bill from a cabinet maker
in Tullamarine Reduced to $281 with
an 8kW system.
The return on investment for
these systems is 23% to 34% and
the panels have a production life
span of 25 years.
Accountant
efits for customers from State and
Federal governments,” Warren said.
“We are very efficient and don’t
hold you up when you want a system on and certified for power production as quick as possible.
“The sooner its up, the sooner
you can stop paying high power
bills and enjoy the savings.
“Our modern lifestyle needs a lot
of power and Australians need to
look seriously at renewable energy
systems. Solar generated energy is
a good fit for Australia which has
more sunshine than Europe where
solar is four times more popular
even though they have less sunlight
and need bigger systems.”

Warren said that the process of
going solar is well worth it, but not
straightforward.
With paperwork requirements for
electricity retailers, distributors,
state and federal governments, a
customer’s paperwork has to be
managed well.

Road safety works are complete
SAFETY improvements at the intersection of Northern Highway
and Rutledge Street have been
completed at the busy corner
with both the government and
opposition claiming credit.
The works will greatly improve
the safety of what has been an
intersection known for collisions
and near misses in the past.
VicRoads reports that over the
past five years, there have been
three recorded casualty crashes
at the intersection.
The $440,000 project included
installing a dedicated right turn
light at the traffic lights, extending
the right hand turn lane, as well
as resurfacing the intersection to
improve its skid resistance.
The works commenced on October 20 2014 and were completed April 2 2015.
The completion of the works
has been welcomed by both
Steph Ryan, Member for Euroa
and Jacklyn Symes, Member for
Northern Victoria.
Fortunately the project was
one that missed being axed due
to a change in government. The
positive outcome is that it was
announced by the former Minister for Roads, Terry Mulder and
completed by the current minister, Luke Donnellan.
The initial funding was part of
the former government’s $10.8
million Safer Road Infrastructure
Program (SRIP). The
project
was completed under the similar
sounding Safe System Road Infra-
structure Program (SSRIP).
But then a rose (in this case a
road) by any other name would
look the same complete.
Both projects essentially have
the same objective of improving
driver safety, pedestrian safety and
road maintenance, particularly in
high-risk areas to reduce crashes.
Jacklyn Symes said that the
Northern Highway is the major
route through Kilmore connecting Heathcote, Bendigo, Echuca
and Melbourne’s northern growth
areas,” Ms Symes said.
“Rutledge Street is also one of
the few existing east-west connecting roads in Kilmore that
attracts traffic to the Kilmore
school precinct, hospital and the
fire station.
The works also included a new
asphalt surface across the whole
intersection to improve its durability and provide better waterproofing and new line marking
was also applied to enhance driver’s awareness of the new lanes
and intersection turning points.
Steph Ryan added that while
she was concerned about future
planning for regional roads and
the loss of some funding programs from last year, she was
pleased to see the project go
ahead and see completion under
the present government.
“I am pleased that Jaclyn Symes
supports the project which the
Coalition Government put into
place,” Ms Ryan added.
YOUNG people aged 18-25 years are about
three times more likely to be killed in a car
crash than older more experienced drivers.
The Transport Accident Commission
(TAC)believes that the one way to change
this is to provide relevant driver safety education for schools.
The TAC has developed a range of school
resources which can be taught alongside
the core road safety school program.
The range of secondary school resources are targeted at AusVELS (Victorian Essential Learning Standards) and the VCE
(Victorian Certificate of Education).
These secondary resources complement the core material for each subject
and we have tailored a specific program
for each of these subjects:
Many community groups, schools and
the general public are very concerned
about the level of road trauma among
young drivers, and are motivated to address this.
To support community groups and
schools to deliver effective community
and school based road safety for young
people, TAC has arranged for the development of resources to help local program
development and delivery.
In addition, the introduction of Victoria’s
Graduated Licensing System (GLS) has
shown very promising outcomes in terms
of improvements in young driver behaviour.
Probationary drivers have more crashes
than anyone else using the roads, and car
crashes are the number one killer of young
people. The graph above shows that the
first year of driving on a probationary licence is the most dangerous.
TAC research has identified that a learner driver is relatively safer with a supervising driver to help. This is why Victoria
has a long learner driver period and a 120
hour requirement.
The highest crash risk is associated
with new P1 drivers who have the highest
risk of crashing than they will ever have
as a driver. The P plater’s crash risk will
go down over the first few years of driving
experience.
This is why Victoria has a four year probationary period for most new drivers.
A young driver’s risk of crashing will
slowly decrease for many years after the
obtaining of a full licence.

through the first half. The seniors struggled to create chances and only managed long range
efforts. The second half was
one way traffic with Rangers

scored from the penalty spot after Stuart Clothier was brought
down. Our first league win of

Two defensive errors led to
two goals early in the first half
before a stunning free kick by
Keon Park to create a three
goal buffer going into half time.
With much to be desired after
a lacking first half the Rangers
rallied to produce an encouraging attempt to get back into the
game. Seeing out the game with
a fine performance the Rangers
conceded again despite this
and went down 4-1 at full-time.

Wallan White headed to Whittlesea this week. I couldn't be
any prouder of my team. The first half was an awesome display of football led by our captain Kade Hoskins.We dropped
the intensity in the 3rd qtr, but turned that around in the last.
We were always the first to the ball. A great team effort, and
I look forward to our game next week.Thanks to the parent
helpers. Sam

Another really great effort by the boys in difficult conditions,
did the club and jumper proud to fight it out to the end
against another good side. Unfortunately the boys didn't get
the rewards for their efforts in the last qtr. Keep working and
learning boys and the rewards and wins will come.Thanks to
all the parent helpers who also stood out in the rain and hail.

The scoreboard really didn’t reflect the effort that was put in
by the boys on the weekend. Up against a much taller and
stronger opposition the boys stuck side by side and threw
everything they had at their opponents. We laid 40 tackles
throughout the day which was outstanding and the way the
boys put their heads over the footy for 4 quarters was a
credit to them. I think we’ve turned the corner after this
game as I’m sure it’s brought the team closer together.Thanks
to all the parent helpers and the under 12 boys Callum and
Alex for helping us out again. Gilly

that you put into training is being implemented on game day.
It's amazing how far you girls have come considering it’s your
1st season playing together, the bond you have as a team is
amazing. Thank you to all parent helpers. Dean

Due to us losing Macca and Flats on Wednesday night training and with a couple of others unavailable we had to top up
with a number of U/16's players giving us 19 for the day. The
17's were much appreciative of the boys playing today. We
kicked with the wind and had a handy lead at the 1/4 time
break, however it was the efforts in the 2nd quarter that help
us set our day. Last half we continued to move the ball forward any way we could and was rewarded for their efforts
with a 10 goal win. With numbers improving at training and
the belief in what we are trying to do we will see results as
the season continues. Thanks to all parents and others who
helped us out today it's much appreciated from myself and
the players. Russell

SPORT
Women’s b’ball
THE Seymour Basketball Association is introducing an open age women’s competition to
its stable commencing Tuesday, April 21, at
Seymour Basketball Stadium.
To run through all school terms for 2015,
the open age competition invites female basketballers to get back into the game or for
new players to give it a try. It starts at 7.50pm
on Tuesday nights and costs $6 per game
with uniform singlets provided to players for
the season.
Seymour Basketball Association is hopeful
the competition will grow and become a regular fixture in the wider community which will
then in turn provide the Lady Blasters with an
additional talent pool for recruitment.
Open age competitive sport has enormous
benefits which includes helping adults meet
their recommended 30 minutes of activity per
day and giving participants an opportunity to
meet new people and also develop individual
and team skills.
As well as providing a much needed stress
relief from the usual routine of the work week,
players learn to improve their athletic skills
and also have a laugh and encourage their
team mates. Playing a team sport, no matter
how good or bad the team is, is a ton of fun
and this fuels great self-esteem and pumps
good energy into our lives.
For further information or to register your
interest contact Michelle Byrnes on 0410 586

by “Rover”
Dedication
TONY Ottobre was an ACK student from 196871. He came to college from Reservoir and was
part of the 330 strong boarding group in those,
by today’s standards, fairly spartan times.
He enjoyed those years and though recalling he was “not an academic” there was
plenty to like about the rough and tumble of
boarding school life.
Tony is but one of many who may not have
excelled in the classrooms of his time – but by
initiation and hard work has prospered down
the years.
He came with his wife Lynn recently to have
a nostalgic look around the college (which he
barely recognised) and Kilmore township. For
a couple of seasons in the eighties, he played
B-Grade for Kilmore Cricket Club and enjoyed
it very much.
Lynn was 15 when Tony decided she
was the “one”. From Bundoora, she is an
impressive lady.
The couple have two children, a son
Michael who is a personal trainer in South
Yarra and a daughter Jenni, who was married
at Easter time. “The happiest day of our lives”
said the proud parents.
For it is a miracle Jenni has survived for her
dad to be able to walk her down the aisle.
Four years ago, Jenni was diagnosed with
GBM, one of the worst types of brain tumour.
Survival chances are very low. The parents
tried everything in their quest for their daughter’s survival. Tony spent countless hours on
the internet researching options and these
studies led to lengthy trips to Germany and
the USA for intensive treatment. After many
dark periods, there was finally a breakthrough late in 2014 against all the odds.
HHH
From humble beginnings in “Australian
designed Excellence in Lighting” Tony has
built up a fine business. He is Managing
Director of LED Technologies P/L at his
Bundoora based factory.
He is a compassionate and really good boss
who treats his employees well. He is grateful he
has been blessed with the financial resources
to dedicate much time and money to “save” his
daughter. And he acknowledges his wife Lynn’s
tremendous support across a four year intensive “labour of love.”

Richie’s visit
Richie Benaud, a true legend of cricket led
the Aussies on their successful Ashes Tour to
England in 1961 and he was largely the key to
a sensational final day win at Old Trafford in
what was one of the greatest tests of all time.
Late in ’61, after the team returned to Australia, Benaud and the brilliant left hand bat
Neil Harvey visited Assumption and spoke
to the college cricketers for about an hour. A
couple of “old boys” of the time reminded me
of this in the wake of Benaud’s passing.
FROM THE BOUNDARY
by “Rover”
Brothers: eight brothers from the Handcock family of Myrrhee, near Wangaratta,
went to the Great War. Jack (top row, centre) was killed on Gallipoli. Frank (top row,
right) lost a leg at Broodseinde. Charles (bottom row, second from right) died from
pneumonia a day before the war ended.
The Spirit of ANZAC
ALONGWITH countless others from all
areas of life, very many footballers and
cricketers paid the supreme sacrifice in
the two “Great Wars.”
Among remarkable stories that have survived down the years is the true one of the
Aussie cricketer, a brilliant outfielder who,
in the conflict of 1914-18 spent hours on end
catching enemy grenades and hurling them
back to explode whence they had come from.
HHH
As the historic centenary of ANZAC
approaches this column quotes from a
celebrated speech given at last year’s dawn
service at the shrine in Melbourne.
The speaker was Neville Clark (AM) a former hugely admired headmaster of mentone
Grammar. Neville, winner of the Victoria
Cross in Vietnam, was a great host of ACK
students whenever they visited Mentone for
summer and winter sports.
Lest we Forget
“We come to this sacred place, not to glorify;
certainly not to celebrate (the modern cult of
celebrity would have been unrecognisable at
ANZAC: as CJ Dennis’s Ginger Mick knew, “It’s
crook to tell / A tale that marks for praise a
single one”) If we are true to the purpose for
which the shrine was built, however, we come
to commemorate. The Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps gave to two new nations
a new spirit which neither of them could have
imagined before.
“Australians and New Zealanders knew they
had to fight in 1914 because they knew the cost
to themselves if the British Empire should go
down – they’d go down with it. Australian’s
and New Zealanders have not fought in wars
to gain anything; Australian’s and New Zealanders have fought in wars not to lose something – freedom. To protect their new nationhood – and their freedom – the ANZAC went to
war with a spirit of determination which has
marked their successors ever since.
“The determination, for instance, of the tragic, successive waves of the Light Horse in the
charge at the Nek in order to give the equally
heroic New Zealanders the best chance of seizing Chanuk bair, tactical key to the Gallipoli
Peninsula.
“The determination shown at Passchendaele
by the machine gun section commander who
wrote down his orders for his section, all of
whom had – like him- volunteered to man a
potentially fatal outpost. His orders?
1.This position will be held and the section
remain here until relieved.
Fresh from the frontline: troops from the 5th Division, playing football in
mid-September , 1918.
2.The enemy must not be allowed to interfere
with this programme.
3.If the section cannot remain here alive, it will
remain here dead, but in any case it will remain here.
4.Should all the guns be blown out, the section
will use Mills grenades and other novelties.
5.Finally, the position, as stated, will be held.
“The section did indeed remain until relieved,
fully 18 days later, and these orders became so
famous along the Western Front that for many
years they were promulgated in British Army
orders and, in 1940 at Dunkirk, were hailed in
the press “as the spirit that won the last war.”
And the author, and section commander? A
Tasmanian clergyman.
“The determination fo the bomber command
aircrews to fly straight and level through the
death zone to give themselves the best chance
of hitting their targets in the Ruhr Valley.
“The determination of the captain and crew
of the HMAS Yarra to protect a three-ship convoy by steering their own diminutive craft directly into the path of the Japanese heavy cruiser squadron.
“The determination of the walking wounded
from Kokoda not to clog up the “fuzz-wuzzy”
stretcher line but to keep moving themselves, if
necessary by crawling on their knees.
“The determination of the POWs that no
Australian should die alone on the Railway
of Death.
“The determination of the nursing sisters
to maintain their honour and show no fear to
their captors after the Banka Island massacre.
“The determination of the exhausted division in the pivotal coastal sector at Alamein to
bring upon themselves if necessary the whole
weight of the Afrika Korps counter attack to enable abreak out further inland.
“The determination to mount the slopes of
Maryang San, to advance through the rubber
trees of Long Tan, or to search through the green
valleys and up the desert crags of Afghanistan.
“The determination to keep the home fires
burning until the boys came home.
“This spirit of determination has led inevitably to sacrifice, not just the fact of sacrifice
which, between 1914-1918 for instance, resulted in irreparable loss for two young nations,
but also a spirit of sacrifice, a team spirit if
you will, through which many lives were saved
by selfless acts of courage, for the sake of comrades in arms, and ultimately for freedom.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his friends.”

Three on the trot for Zebrinz Muller tops
by ‘Pegs’
ROMSEY based Leon Corstens and his son Troy
made it three wins in
succession with Zebrinz

The gelding has now
won four races with two
minor placings from his
15 starts. With his VOBIS bonuses he has now
amassed $228,385 in

DAVE Muller won Romsey Golf Club’s stableford event on Saturday.
A strong field took to the course on a a
warm, sunny afternoon with virtually no
wind however the recent rains, consistent
dews and the re-cycled water saw the fairways softening and greening quite consistently, thus was much decreased run and
balls did pick up mud.
The autumn scarifying, fertilising and
seeding of the greens is almost finished
but all players had to deal with greens of
inconsistent speed and they had to accept
that some putts would make a sudden deviation on their way to the hole.
The
softer greens allowed the low markers to
aim directly at the flag knowing their balls
would hold and greatly decreasing the distance of their putts.
There was a wonderful atmosphere in
the rooms after the round as everyone
caught up with people they may not have
seen for many months.
Muller carded 40 points from Les Gaunt
39, Scott Williams 38, Michael Mccarten 37
and Bruce Robb 36.
Lyn Robison led in the ladies with 40.
Bob McLennan and Rob Rea were nearest the pin.

Redbacks ready to ‘rock and roll’
by Catherine Mogridge
IT is not an easy task preparing to
defend a premiership and championship season in football. Just ask
Romsey’s Dean Helmers.
However, despite some prominent losses and the high level scrutiny all reigning premiers endure at
the start of a new season, Helmers
is confident the boys are ready to
“rock and roll.”
“People will definitely see a completely different looking side in
2015. It won’t be that stronger, big
bodied unit we were but a sleeker,
faster group,” Helmers said.
“As a coaching group we aren’t expecting miracles. We know we have
had some big losses and every player is so important in the effort to win
a premiership.
“We know once we can get the
side playing the best running and
fast style of football that will suit
these boys and give the side time
to gel we will be right up there. We
don’t want to worry about games
we may drop in this process when
we know it won’t take long to hit
our stride.”
The Redbacks have lost key
names in Matt Davison, Shaun Austin, Travis Mills, Ash McNaughton,
Anthony Trigg and Angus Storey, all
key elements of the undefeated powerhouse of 2014.
“Yep these losses are tough but I
am very confident in the potential
of the group we have now. It’s will
mean a different set-up, a different
game plan that will take time to
implement as it is very difficult
to work on this when you haven’t
finalised your list, but now we have
done that as of last week, we can
get to work on preparing these
boys to play no-nonsense footy,”
Helmers said.
“We may have had some losses
but look at who we still have with
the likes of Ben Way, Phil Lobb,
Mitch Farmer, Brad Mitchell and
Chris Petroro still on board and
the inclusions of Chris Burkett, Joe
Said and Zach Said who I consider
will probably be the best player in
the competition.
“There is a lot of upside to this list
and while everyone is talking about
Diggers Rest, Sunbury and Macedon, I am happy to back my boys
against anyone.
The Redbacks have struggled
over the preseason with Helmers acknowledging a lack of game related
practise due to player unavailability.
“It is hard when work commitments make it very difficult for the
whole group to come together on
a regular basis and set things in
place but a practise match last week
against Bacchus Marsh showed
some real positives with a very
young Romsey side, with perhaps
eight or nine young guys, playing
strong, competitive football against
a very well-drilled and mature
Bacchus Marsh outfit.”
Romsey went down in the match
by five goals but were missing
several key players and were ex-
tremely happy with the way many
of the young, up and coming Redbacks and fringe players have
obviously applied themselves over
the pre-season.
Helmers considers himself one
of the luckiest coaches in the competition thanks to the professionalism and support the executive of
the club provide him in his role as
senior coach.
“Every minute I am at the club, I
am supported by the committee in
some way. It is great and not every
coach has a present and dedicated
group of people running the club
and doing everything they can to ensure I can do my job,” Helmers said
Helmers will be joined by newly
appointed senior assistant coach
Andrew Bubb in 2015 while the
guard from 2014 returns with Leigh
McInerney reprising his well respected role as Reserves coach and
Mick Carroll still taking charge of
the young and future talent of the
club with the Under 18s.
“We just can’t wait to get started
with a home game this week, where
we can unfurl the premiership flag
and are just more than ready to embrace the massive challenge ahead
this season, “ Helmers said.
