Money or the box, council toldBY ANGELA VALENTE

MACEDON Ranges Council and residents arewaging a battle with Powercor over who isliable to pay up to $110,000 for the relocationof a power substation in Lancefield.

The substation was built in May in thecentre median strip of High Street in Lance-field, where the community had plannedworks to beautify the area.

In June, the council accepted a petition with621 signatures, calling on Powercor to relocatethe sub-station to another spot, with greaterconsideration of amenity.

Before the substation was built, Powercoradvised the council of its intention, althoughit’s not required to under state laws.

At a meeting last week, the council decidedto lobby Powercor to fully fund the relocationof the sub-station to a more suitable location.

But Powercor says the council should foot thebill.

‘‘It was planned and built in consultationwith the council, and we fully complied withtheir requirements and views,’’ a spokesmansaid last week.

‘‘It would be difficult for Powercor to nowimpose extra costs on our electricity customersto relocate the kiosk because of council’schange of mind.’’

The community, council and Powercor agreethat the best location for the substation wouldbe behind existing toilets in The Crescent. Butthis option comes with a price tag of $110,000.

Lancefield streetscape committee memberRhonda Cusack said the substation was a ‘‘big,industrial box’’ in the middle of the High Streetplantation.

‘‘The plantation and the whole of HighStreet has a heritage overlay on it and anyone

who wants to do any work on the plantationhas to jump through hoops with the council.

‘‘Powercor and other facility providers areexempt from the overlay, which is ludicrous.

‘‘The fact is that Powercor has disregard forthe amenity of the town and what we’re tryingto do.’’

The Powercor spokesman said the site waschosen because it offered the best supplysolution for the town, particularly thecommercial area.

‘‘The kiosk is a significant communityimprovement that will enhance both the capa-city and the reliability of Lancefield’s electricitysupply.

‘‘It has also improved community amenity inthat some overhead wires have been movedunderground, and it will allow for the possibil-ity of other wires along the main street beingplaced underground in the future.’’

Council agrees to $4m hub for childrenBY ANGELA VALENTE

A FOUR-million-dollar early years hub will bebuilt at Daly Reserve in Gisborne.

The building will combine a three- and four-year-old kindergarten with a maternal childhealth centre and consulting rooms for visitingspecialist children’s services.

Last Wednesday, the Macedon Ranges Councilagreed to build the hub at 63 Howey Street.

There are two kindergartens in Gisborne — atGrant and Swinburne avenues. The GrantAvenue site has reached capacity for

kindergarten places. A feasibility study for thehub, tabled at the council meeting last week,highlighted an ‘‘immediate need’’ to expand thenumber of licensed early education and careplaces in Gisborne.

It found that some parents travel as far as Mel-bourne to visit a paediatrician.

Mayor Henry McLaughlin said the GrantAvenue site was landlocked, with no scope forexpansion.

‘‘This new building will cater for the growingdemand for family and children’s services in theGisborne community,’’ he said.

‘‘The initial response from the communityabout this proposal has been positive, but thecouncil will be doing further consultation withresidents and community groups in the DalyReserve area over the coming weeks.’’

The council will seek $1.5 million from theDepartment of Education and Early ChildhoodDevelopment.

The council will contribute $1.9 million fromits 2013-14 budget. It has already allocated$100,000 from its 2012-13 budget for the hubdesign.

It will sell the Grant Avenue kindergarten

property, which will provide a further $300,000for the project.

Councillors John Letchford and Rob Guthriesupported the council’s decision to build the hubbut raised concerns about the limited communityconsultation.

The council’s community well-being directorKaren Stevens said that consultation involvedtelephone calls to two residents who lived nearthe reserve and also the Gisborne 1st Scouts, whomeet at the community hall at the reserve.

She reiterated that further consultations wereplanned.

Friends join cancer fight tohelp make a difference

Girls night: Sally Sutherland is getting ready for aCancer Council fund-raiser. Picture: Matthew Furneaux

SALLY Sutherland is bringing her friendstogether to help fight women’s cancers.

It’s a cause that’s close to the New Gisborneresident’s heart.

‘‘My first experience with cancer was a longtime ago. A colleague of mine and friend hadbreast cancer and she died more than 10 yearsago.

‘‘My sister developed breast cancer about 10years ago and she’s a survivor. Then my sister-in-law developed cancer a few years ago and she’ssurvived that.’’

Next month, Mrs Sutherland and her daughterMeaghan will round up about 15 friends andhost a Cancer Council Girls Night In fund-raiser.

Last year, they raised $700. They are hoping toraise more this year.

‘‘Everyone brings a plate and a bottle, and weeat and drink and laugh all together. I was verysurprised with the amount we raised last year. Wemight make it a little bigger this year and spreadour wings a bit.’’

Mrs Sutherland encouraged Macedon Rangesresidents to hold a fund-raiser. ‘‘There’s lots ofsupport out there. I encourage anyone who isgoing to have a friend around to have a go at it.

‘‘For me, I just wanted to do somethingconcrete.

‘‘I feel very lucky to have two out of threepeople I know survived cancer. I think that’sfantastic and worth celebrating.’’

Cancer Council Victoria spokeswoman DebStringer said that last year 3358 Girls Night Inevents were held in Victoria, raising almost$1.2 million.

‘‘It’s a great way to raise cancer awarenessamong women, while simultaneously raisingfunds for women’s cancers.

‘‘So many women have been touched by cancerin some way, and supporting this event meansyou’ll be making a difference to the thousands ofwomen affected by cancer each year.’’

The campaign hopes to raise more than$1.4 million this year and recruit 4735 hosts, onefor every Victorian woman diagnosed withbreast or gynaecological cancer this year.

Kyneton industrial hub plannedA DEDICATED area for industrial growth willbe developed in Kyneton just north of thetown.

The Kyneton industrial master plan wassupported by Macedon Ranges Council at itsmeeting last Wednesday.

It outlines plans to develop 139 hectares ofcommercial land and estimates the creation of2780 jobs in building the estate.

The land is between Edgecombe, Saleyardsand Redesdale roads.

Mayor Henry McLaughlin said the council

had worked with landowners in the past 18months to support business investment in thetown.

‘‘We know that there is a demand for indus-trial land in Kyneton, not only for new andestablished businesses which want to relocate orexpand, but also from businesses in the Bendigoregion that are keen to have a presence closer toMelbourne but still located on the CalderFreeway.

‘‘Many major landholders of the industrial-zoned land in this area are ready to develop,with others very keen to work with the councilto identify opportunities.’’

The plan aims to ensure that futuredevelopment in the industrial estate will caterfor current and future demand and createjobs.

‘‘The landowners are very pleased with theprocess and layout of the master plan, withsome already developing their subdivisionapplications and just waiting for a green light,’’Cr McLaughlin said.

An industrial estate has been operating inNew Gisborne since 2010.

The council’s chief executive Peter Johnstonsaid two-thirds of land in the New Gisborneindustrial estate had been sold.

Drawing inspirationfrom a natural world

Natural art: Coral Benham and JohnNicholson with their works on display

in Woodend. Picture: Matthew Furneaux

THE intricate detail and the shapesof a birds’ nest sing to JohnNicholson.

This month, the Riddells Creekresident has an exhibit of 17 birds’nests drawings alongside Woodendartist Coral Benham.

Small objects from the ‘naturalworld’ provide the theme for thejoint exhibition which opened lastSaturday.

Nicholson has a background inbook illustration, writing andarchitecture.

‘‘Birds’ nests are very satisfyingto draw,’’ he said. ‘‘They have asimple classic shape which looksgreat on the page, but there issomething deeper about them.

‘‘There’s something people findcomforting and satisfying to find,or to create nests for ourselves.’’

Nicholson’s work will sit along-side a variety of pieces by Ms Ben-ham, whose artworks centre

mainly on flowers and fruit.‘‘They chose me,’’ she said. ‘‘I see

things that I think are amazing.’’This is the first solo exhibition

for Benham who paints withwatercolours.

For each piece she can use up to30 washes of watercolour to gainthe vibrant colours seen in herwork.

The exhibition, at the ChamberArt and Coffee House in Wood-end, will run until September 30.

It can be viewed from 9am-5pmWednesday to Sunday.

New retail hub forKyneton gets OKBY ANGELA VALENTE

A MULTIMILLION-dollar development inKyneton’s historic Piper Street has been givena tick of approval by Macedon RangesCouncil.

The development, proposed by business-man Graham Jasper, is at the corner of Wedgeand Piper streets and includes the construc-tion of six retail shops along Piper Street anda 40-seat cafe.

The proposal includes the addition of 41car parking spots, removal of trees and renov-ations to the existing Emporium site.

At a council meeting last week, engineersrecommended councillors refuse the planningpermit. But it was overturned and the councilgave the proposal the green light.

In April, Mr Jasper gained the councilapproval for a similar plan but decided not toproceed because of the economic conditionsat the time. He has since made changes andadditions to his first proposal.

‘‘The global economic crisis had just started

and I had thought that the economy wasgoing to fall in a hole. I didn’t see any pointgoing forward at that time. There wereobjectors with strong views against what wasbeing proposed,’’ he said last week.

‘‘I thought it might be best to step back andhave another think about it and proceedwhen the economy has a chance of pickingup.

‘‘It is going to take some time to get thedevelopment happening and ready for peopleto occupy. But we’re pleased we’ve got theapproval.’’

Mr Jasper said Piper Street had a uniquefeel and lured many tourists.

‘‘People come here to experience uniquethings to the area. There will be more retail[shops] providing more unique products.’’

Council’s economic and tourism managerKylie Lethbridge said job growth was positivefor the Macedon Ranges.

‘‘Any development that creates jobs isimportant to the shire, particularly in thecurrent climate.’’

Win means it’s back to the drawing board

Battle won: Anne and Michael Goldsworthy stand in front of a regionally significant magnolia grandiflora.Picture: Matthew Furneaux

BY ANGELA VALENTE

FOUR Romsey residents say a VictorianCivil and Administrative Tribunal decision hasruled in favour of protecting the town’s heritagetrees.

The four appealed to the VCAT after MacedonRanges Council approved a development at 105Main Street at a meeting last December.

The developers, Lancefield and Romsey Com-munity Financial Services, are proposing to builda two-storey community bank at the site.

Michael and Anne Goldsworthy, who live inthe former National Bank building at 103 MainStreet, next door to the proposed development,opposed planning approval.

They said the site was an ‘‘over-development’’and they wanted to see an appropriate buildingwhich reflected the town’s heritage characterist-ics.

The community bank development included atwo-storey building with seven shops, a bakery,bank and office space. The building is on theboundary line of the Goldsworthy’s property.

There are 10 trees on the property, some ofwhich overhang the block next door.

They include a regionally significant magnoliagrandiflora, which is believed to be about 90

years old. VCAT member Katherine Patersonhanded down her decision on August 27, allow-ing a planning permit to be issued for the devel-opment of the bank, but with varied conditions.

The bank will have to submit new plans to thecouncil before development can begin.

The Goldsworthys say the decision by MsPaterson was a ‘‘win’’ for residents.

‘‘We’ll be watching the progress of the devel-opment including the approval process of thenew plans and construction of the building close-ly to ensure all permit conditions are properlycomplied with.

‘‘I think some over-shadowing will still occur,but we’re not going to have a massive wall infront of our faces.

‘‘We’ve always said we’re not against thedevelopment. This is a way for it to go ahead andkeep the heritage aspects of Romsey as well as allour trees.

‘‘What’s critical is that the conditions are fol-lowed through by the council and the bank.’’

Bank chairman Tim McCarthy said it had thesupport of most of the community.

Sean Moten

Sean Moten is also undertaking a cadetship. He says that he has gained invaluable experience helping to develop and maintain the Bendigo Community Telco’s IT support system.

“At the moment I’m developing a tool that will help customers analyse their accounts, instead of staff using spreadsheets as they are currently doing. I have a lot of independence on this project. I have a supervisor and mentor and I can ask for help at any time I need it, but I am developing this particular tool myself”.

“Once the system is live, I will be responsible for its maintenance. If staff members have a problem with the system I will deal directly with them to fi nd a solution”.

The IIBIT (Industry Integrated Bachelor of Information Technology) cadetship program is a partnership between La�Trobe University and the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, Bendigo Community Telco, Bendigo IT, Community Telco Australia and Integrating Technology.

A life-long hobby building and fi xing computers began for Glenn Wells at the age of fi fteen. “There were some problems with an operating system I was using and I tried several times to get it fi xed at computer stores, I eventually gave up and worked out how to fi x it myself. I guess the best thing about IT is solving problems. I love that feeling you get when you fi nally get something to work”.

As a successful candidate for the IIBIT (Industry Integrated Bachelor of Information Technology) cadetship, Glenn is now studying the Bachelor of IT (Professional)

at La�Trobe University and working for Community Telco Australia.

Glenn says that the course’s strong focus on work experience gives it a unique and important edge over many other degrees. “A lot of graduates come out of IT courses with minimal experience working in the industry. IT courses give you grounding in theories and the basics of systems, but you also need to know how a business uses its technology. I think there is no better way to learn about a professional environment than to be training in it at the same time as studying the basics at uni”.

Stadiums get nodBY ANGELA VALENTE

TWO sports complexes will be built inGisborne and New Gisborne after MacedonRanges Council approved the proposals at itsmeeting last week.

The council agreed to develop an indoorbasketball stadium at the Gisborne SecondaryCollege site or nearby pine plantation andapproved plans for an outdoor netballcomplex in New Gisborne, on the corner ofHamilton and Barringo roads.

The Weekly outlined plans for the twoseparate sports centres on August 21.

The basketball and netball communities arecelebrating following the council’s support.

The Gisborne stadium will include twoindoor sports courts with change rooms, cafe,meeting rooms and sealed parking withlighting. It will become home to GisborneBulldogs Basketball Club.

The council has allocated $1.5million tothe Gisborne indoor stadium, with the stategovernment contributing $3.5million.

The council will sign the ‘joint-use’ agree-ment before construction starts. The netballcomplex will include eight outdoor courts, achange room, toilets, kiosk and first-aid facil-

ities. Gisborne Netball Association presidentCarmen Hemphill said she was thrilled workwould soon begin on a master plan for thesite.

‘‘We’ve had nowhere to call our home for30 years, nowhere to display our memorab-ilia.

‘‘The two big things for us is that we [willhave] a place to call our home and potentialfor growth and we’re getting both and we’rethrilled.’’

Gisborne Bulldogs Basketball Club presi-dent Natalie Coakley said the club wasexcited to move forward with the agreement.

‘‘We’ve agreed to move ahead in-principle.For us, it’s making the design fit basketballstandards as well as an acceptable user agree-ment. As long as all user groups andcommunity needs are met, we’re excited tomove forward.’’

The council’s 2006 leisure plan identified ahigh priority need for a feasibility study intoan indoor sports centre in Gisborne. Thestudy was approved by the council in 2009. Ittook one year before planning began for theindoor centre, which will be developed inpartnership with Gisborne SecondaryCollege.

GISBORNE resident Diana Russo wants to be thefresh face on the Macedon Ranges Council.

The mother of four has nominated for the councilelections on October 27.

Mrs Russo said Gisborne was a growingcommunity and needed appropriate infrastructure.

‘‘There’s lots of little issues in the community Ithink we should be fighting for,’’ she said.

‘‘There’s a lack of infrastructure and we need toput in services for the community that everyone canuse, not just the young and the old.

‘‘I think we live in the best environment and life-

style in Gisborne —I’ve lived here for 17 years —but often we talk about how disappointed we arewith the decisions made by the council.

‘‘I feel passionate and I’m going to roll up mysleeves and do something about it.’’

Mrs Russo is involved with athletics and runningclubs and farm stays.

‘‘I’m a person that ‘gives a damn’. If you want tosee something done, you need to get involved. I justwant to make a contribution.’’

Candidate nominations close Tuesday, September25 at noon. — Angela Valente

Agency to managesocial housingBY ANGELA VALENTE

SOCIAL housing stock in Macedon Ranges willbe managed by Community Housing VictoriaLimited.

At a council meeting last week, it wasannounced that a registered housing authoritywould take control of the council’s 32 socialhousing properties.

In June, the council decided to transfer some ofits properties to a housing association that wouldbe able to attract funding, if there was no opposi-tion from residents. One submission wasreceived.

As of June 30, there were 111 people on thecouncil’s waiting list for social housing.

Macedon Ranges is the only Victorian councilthat operates a large social housing programwithout the support of a registered housing asso-ciation. Only registered housing authorities canreceive state government funding to increase andmaintain housing stock.

Cr Roger Jukes, who was involved in thetender process, said he was confident the new

agency would look after the interests of tenants.‘‘Community Housing Victoria [a not-for-

profit company] will establish a local MacedonRanges office and build three new housing unitsin the shire in the first two years,’’ he said.

‘‘They also have a commitment to work withlocal community agencies, which will help thetransition process.’’

Under the transfer, all tenants will continue tobe provided with housing.

The 32 properties are in Kyneton, Woodend,Gisborne, Romsey and Macedon. They providelow-cost housing to families, young people andthose living with a disability.

‘‘There is a high level of satisfaction amongtenants of social housing that is managed by aregistered agency,’’ Cr Jukes said.

‘‘Tenants will not be financially disadvantagedby this change and will receive the same, if notbetter, support than they do now.’’

The council has 110 social housing units,which are valued at more than $13 million. Thecouncil’s 49 senior citizens’ housing units are notpart of the transfer.

Whether born with a disability or acquiring one, hundreds of Melburnians are sharing the national obsesssion with sport. And playing all the games we associate with able-bodied athletes is an option being increasingly taken up in the city’s north- west, as Tara Murray reports.

Willing Able

and

ROXBURGH Park’s Naz Erdim feared for his future after a diving accident left him a quadriplegic.

The thought of not ever playing sport again was the least of the then- 20-year-old’s concerns.

‘‘I wasn’t really sure and didn’t know what to expect. While I was in rehab they told me about different sports I could still play.

‘‘They told me about wheelchair rugby. Once I’d watched it, I really loved how they crashed and bashed on the court and were really good friends off the court.

‘‘Most people are confused when they fi rst see wheelchair rugby. They picture us on a rugby paddock. We play on a basketball court and it looks quiet dangerous.’’

Move forward 20 years and Erdim is com-peting in his fourth Paralympics in London.

‘‘It feels pretty good and it’s really special and we are looking forward to it, ’’he said before leaving.

‘‘We won silver in Sydney and Beijing and we’re pretty confi dent of going well in London.’’

As Erdim takes to the court in London, it’s also an opportunity to look at what sports are available for both physically and intel-lectually disabled people.

For most it’s not about competing at the top level; it’s about having the opportunities in the fi rst place.

‘‘A lot of the desire for sports is driven by the parents,’’ says Wyndham’s Access All Abilities community development offi cer, Wayne Slattery.

‘‘They will contact the YMCA or the council saying my child wants to play a particular sport. We then try and organise something.’’

Slattery says Wyndham is one of the better-equipped areas in Melbourne’s north-west with soft tennis ; light exercise groups; aqua aerobics; carpet, lawn and tenpin bowls; netball; basketball; dance; wheelchair darts; jujitsu and swimming all catered for.

‘‘The aim for us is to get them into mainstream sport and sometimes we have to make some modifi cations or some rule changes to make this happen.

‘‘We mentor the coaches and provide them with advice on how to work with the children who need more attention.’’

Slattery says wheelchair basketball adds another element to the opportunities avail-able.

‘‘Just say a teenager [in a wheelchair] is playing; his family can compete, too. They get in the wheelchair and it becomes a fam-ily thing

‘‘Over half of the people in our sessions are able-bodied.’’

The Australian Paralympic Committee’s manager of development and pathways, Tim Matthews, says his team also looks to include disabled sports people in main-stream sport.

‘‘We aim to include our athletes in main-stream sports where we can but you can’t always make it happen.

‘‘Our goal is to include people with a disability in the core business of sport. Seg-regating them, all it does is make it an issue in many cases ... there needs to be more work to include people with disabilities in sporting clubs.’’

The Macedon Basketball Association has been able to do that with its Access All Abilities’ group, in which 50 people are registered.

While they may not play an actual compe-tition, they still enjoy games and play a role on the association’s grand fi nal day.

‘‘We didn’t realise there was a need for a program like this until we were approached in 2008,’’ says Michael Grantham, who’s in charge of the program.

‘‘We ran a trial program in 2009 and the participants enjoyed it so much that we incorporated it in our regular basketball program.

‘‘The youngest person is 10 and the eldest 74 and there’s all ages in between.

‘‘Each week they have a skills session, fol-lowed by a half-court game.’’

Tennis Victoria has 24 clubs, with pro-grams for people with disabilities, including wheelchair tennis.

South Gisborne Tennis Club is the only club in Melbourne’s north-west to have such a program.

‘‘We’ve been running it for 12 years,’’ says coach Gail Scott.

‘‘We have the Sunbury Macedon Specialist School come down and Distinctive Options from Sunbury [provider of disability sup-port and training programs] has sessions every week.

‘‘We’re looking at expanding it more. We would eventually like to run a competi-tion.’’

Scott says funding given to them earlier this year means they’ll be able to cater for more people in wheelchairs.

‘‘We now have to carry them onto the court. We are just waiting for the right weather to install ramps and bigger doors so they’ll be able to play on our hard courts.’’

Western Australian-based Cricket Champs is another program looking to set up some-thing similar, with the chance for kids to move into mainstream teams.

Now with clubs in WA and New South Wales, Cricket Champs wants to expand into Victoria.

‘‘There’s very limited opportunities for kids with disabilities to play sport,’’ says Justin Sambell

‘‘Many parents are reluctant to enrol their kids in sport. Programs like this give them a chance to start playing sport then move into mainstream sport, which they mightn’t have thought was possible.’’

While there is a focus on trying to get disabled people into mainstream sports clubs, there are still many sports groups focusing just on people with disabilities.

The Special Olympics has started a Com-munity Sports Link program, designed for special schools and disability service provid-ers to get people involved in weekly sports training.

‘‘Part of my role is to facilitate this pro-gram and others north-west of Melbourne. This term, I’ve got eight schools I’m work-ing on with soccer,’’ says Lessey Hodgkin-son, who runs the program in Melbourne’s north-west

‘‘We try to get them into the routine of training once a week, try and get them into a competition with a Special Olympics feel about it.’’

It’s through the Special Olympics program that Helping Hoops has started running free basketball training sessions for intellectual-ity disabled children.

Having already established programs for disadvantaged youth, founder Adam Mc-Kay said they were asked to look at running skills sessions for intellectually disabled children.

They recently moved their north-west pro-gram from Footscray to Broadmeadows.

Sunbury Jets basketball coach Mike Spears is one of the coaches in the program.

‘‘When I started we had one program and Adam said I had one coaching job for you per week, and now we’re doing four programs, two to three hours a day,

‘‘This area needs it. We used to do it at VU, most of the players were from Ascot Vale and some out of Werribee, but since we’ve been relocated its starting brand new here.’’

Jets player Jay Boyle is also involved in the program and is looking at bringing it out to Sunbury, having already visited the Sunbury Macedon Specialist School.

Melton’s Riding for the Disabled Associa-tion is another program based in Mel-bourne’s north-west.

The centre, which attracts people from places including Melton, Sunbury, Gis-borne, Point Cook and Bacchus Marsh, caters for both intellectual and physically disabled people.

‘‘There’s very few children that can’t have the opportunity to participate and we cater for a range of disabilities,’’ says head coach and co-ordinator Margaret Behan.

‘‘We modify the equipment and supervi-sion. Some riders may need three volunteers and lots of supervision, where others will be able to ride by themselves eventually.’’

Fleeing-children’s story a runaway winnerCannes opener is a gloriously wild romp, writes Stephen A Russell MOONRISE KINGDOM (PG)

Stars: Kara Hayward, Jared Gilman, Edward Norton, BillMurray, Frances McDormand, Bruce WillisDirector: Wes AndersonWes Anderson, the king of kook respons-

ible for quirky classics The Royal Tenen-baums and Fantastic Mr Fox, returns

with the sepia-hued Moonrise Kingdom.It’s a seemingly simple tale of two 12-year-old

boy-meets-girl runaways, but nothing is quite sostraightforward.

This year’s Cannes opener is a gloriously wildromp set on the fantastically realised island ofNew Penzance in 1965, where normality isextreme and there’s a storm a’coming, too.

Beautiful young actress Kara Hayward playsSuzy Bishop, a troubled kid daubed in shockingturquoise eyeliner with a devastating pout tomatch.

Smothered at home by her trio of brothers andsimultaneously overbearing and oddly absentparents (played in understated comic fashion byBill Murray and Frances McDormand), Suzyplans her escape with kindred spirit Sam.

Sam (Jared Gilman) is an orphan and refugeefrom a somewhat twisted Scout camp run by thesmoking do-gooder Scout Master Ward (EdwardNorton in fine form).

When they flee, full of youthful ambition,hopeful dreams and unusually adult cynicism,they spark a huge manhunt of odd charactersincluding the harsh Social Services – a character

played with swishing-cape action by a gleefullyevil Tilda Swinton – and the violent Scouts whoso tormented Sam.

Bruce Willis does his best work in quite sometime as the island’s cop, Captain Sharp, and hisstory deftly mirrors that of young Sam, whom hesoon takes under his wing.

Even a begrudging cynic should raise a smile atthis good-humoured yarn.

Infused with a fairytale sense of yesteryear,punctuated on occasion with comically exagger-ated violence, Anderson delivers lush visuals andoff-the-wall humour from all his players.

The fantastic cast works wonders with whatare sometimes small roles, but it’s the young leadswho truly captivate and show immense promise.

Whether it’s Suzy causing chaos with a pair ofscissors or Sam preparing for their first nightcamping out together, casually alerting her to thefact he might wet the bed, they hold the viewer inthrall.

Be your bestQuick and stress-free CT

scans maximise healthSunbury businessman Brett

Stockdale was at fi rst dismayed to learn that a pre-existing medical condition had resurfaced, but says early diagnosis and treatment improved his outlook for a full recovery.

A regular health check revealed that Brett needed a CT scan. Resident radiologist at Lake Imaging Sunbury Dr Helen Vandenbroeck says the close working relationship between Brett’s local GP and herself led to a defi nite identifi cation of the problem and much-needed early intervention.“An appointment in Sunbury was made

the same week that Brett visited his GP who received the scan results within 24 hours,” she says. “His GP immediately discussed the

fi ndings with us, and arranged a second scan a few days later that confi rmed the diagnosis and need for treatment.”Brett wants other residents to know the

importance of regular health checks, especially for people with prior serious illnesses and those in health-risk categories.

“My previous experiences with CT scans over many years were not exactly fun, so I was pleasantly surprised to fi nd how much modern scanners have improved, and that the facilities in my own neighbourhood were better than I had seen in Melbourne,” he says.

“My latest scans were very quick and stress free. I didn’t have to travel to Melbourne or wait a long time for appointments as I had done previously, and this made it much easier for my family who naturally want to be close at times like this.”

Dr Vandenbroeck says Lake Imaging has a policy of providing the latest radiology equipment and the specialists to operate them in all regional centres.

“In Sunbury our equipment includes a state-of-the-art GE Lightspeed VCT for 3D scans of arteries, the brain, lungs, kidneys, other vital organs, skeletal structure and teeth.

‘‘Most patients are bulk billed for these services” she said.

Lake Imaging, at 10 Spavin Drive (corner Riddell Road), Sunbury, opens 8.30am-6pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 8.30am-8pm, Wednesday and 9am-1pm, Saturday. Inquiries: 9744 5344 or lakeimaging.com.au

Sooner or later most people consider the purchase of a home as

opposed to renting. However, there are those that simply have no desire

of home ownership due to the life styles they have or for the simple

fact that home ownership just does not appeal to them. In Australia,

home ownership is a prevailing line of thought for most people. The

purchase of a home that one can afford allows the build up of equity by

the payment of the monthly mortgage and the appreciation of the home’s

value over time. Equity in a home is the actual value of the home above

the amount due on the mortgage. Typical homeowners end up upgrading

the type of the home they have over the years as their needs change. For

example, many first time homeowners acquire a home unit and then sell

it if they get married and start raising a family, have the need for more

space or a location nearer to better schools. Owning your own home

or some other property and maintaining them or improving them gives

the property owner a sense of accomplishment and pride of ownership.

Additionally, the appreciation over time of real property and the build up

of equity in a parcel can provide benefits for one when they retire and

no longer are working on a day to day basis. The biggest advantage of

home ownership is a sense of stability for the property owner and his

or her family. If you would like to discuss this, or any other real estate

matter, feel free to call me, John Dunlop on 9744 2555 or call into our

friendly office at Sunbury and Gisborne to talk to me.

A pad to pamper youThis self-contained unit is in a great spot for enjoying a country lifestyle, writes Carole Levy

5/2 Larter Court, Riddells CreekBedrooms: 3Bathrooms: 2Living areas: Lounge-diningThe rest: Gas central heating, evaporative cooling, 2.7-metreceilings, stepped cornices, porcelain tiles, Europeanappliances, two courtyards, double garage with internal accessPrice: $345,000Private saleAgent: Hunt Real Estate Gisborne, 5428 2544

It’s not often a unit gets reviewed on this page,but this one has a bit of extra pizzazz andcertainly unexpected space. And it’s in

Riddells Creek which, to my mind, is a great spotfor enjoying a country lifestyle, being on the cuspof all the Macedon Ranges has to offer.

It’s the front unit of a block of five, with entryat the side behind a high fence with horizontalslats, which gives the place a nice feeling ofprivacy.

Latte-toned porcelain floor tiles set out anappealing welcome in the entry hall, as do theglass sliders showing off the first of two court-

yards, this one paved and surrounded by pebblesand garden beds. Around to the right, the tiledlounge-dining area is a good size, elegantly fittedout with classy window furnishings and shallow,bowl-shaped leadlight lightfittings.

The area opens to the second courtyard, aprivate space for relaxing with friends.

The kitchen has a light-bouncing white andcream colour palette, slim-line blinds, benchestopped with stone-look laminate, a two-doorpantry, and an underbench oven, gas cooktopand dishwasher wearing the Bosch label.

A hallway (with courtyard access) heads left of

entry to a powder room, a gleaming main bath-room with heat lamp, a laundry with garageaccess, and three bedrooms — two with built-inwardrobes. The good-sized main bedroom hascourtyard views, a walk-in wardrobe anden suite with heat lamp and mosaic feature tilesin the shower.

The back of the unit is defined by a narrow,paved walkway, while the front garden isfinished with a combination of mulch, pebblesand boxed garden beds. The property has adouble garage with remote-control and is a walkaway from shops and station.

SPRAINS & STRAINS

RUNNING INJURIESWritten by

Hiroyuki Hasegawa

Long distance running and recreational road races are increasingly gaining popularity in the community. Their linkage to charitable fundraising, memorial events and weight loss programs has led to an explosion in the number of road races that are held in towns of all sizes. As the Melbourne marathon festival awaits in mid-October many of us will be on the street or at the gym gradually increasing the total mileage and the frequency of training this month. Not surprisingly, the number of running related injuries is expected to rise. The most common injuries are those of the knee, followed by Achilles tendon and calf injuries, as well as stress fractures, foot injuries, hip, pelvis and lower back injuries. Running injuries can be classified as overuse injuries, which are typically caused by repetitive action as opposed to acute injuries which occur in an instant (e.g. sprained ankle). Repeated movements or awkward postures may result in minor injuries. When injuries happen over and over, the body’s healing process will not be able to catch up to the injuries. Physiotherapy should be considered as a starting point for anyone who is suffering from running related injuries. Physiotherapists at Sunbury Physiotherapy Clinic are highly trained in the comprehensive management, from treatment of the immediate injuries, to return to sport and prevention of re-injury. It is important to address predisposing factors for the injury. Several factors have been associated with injury in runners, including age, body weight, body alignment, previous running experience, shoes, running terrain, and even psychological factors. Physiotherapists will evaluate these factors and help guide an individualised treatment plan for the runner which can include counselling the runner on more effective training and providing specific rehabilitation guidelines.Hiroyuki HasegawaB.

Silent no more on mental healthOnce far more hidden in society, the area of

mental health now receives lots of attention and chances are you or a loved one suffers from anxiety, depression, bi-polar or another mental health issue.

Susanna Warner of Family Medical Centre in Sunbury can assist people facing these challenges, taking a sensitive approach to mental health treatment.

‘‘I seek to normalise the experience of going through a mental health challenge and work with individuals to improve their situation, to cope, and work towards recovery,’’ Susanna says.

‘‘As a nurse with many years’ experience, I give physical, social, emotional, spiritual and mental health support.’’

She began work at the centre in 2010, seeing patients who have a GP chronic disease management plan in place, and taking private appointments.

‘‘I provide education and assistance with fi nding appropriate referrals, counselling and practical strategies, including mindfulness breathing and relaxation, and non-directive pregnancy support.”

Paediatric speech pathologist Fiona Tremlett also works at the centre to help kids in an equally important area, providing speech

pathology services for children 15 months old to school-entry age.

‘‘I have more than 25 years of experience with preschool-aged children who have diffi culty communicating, especially those under three,’’ Fiona says.

Her ongoing professional development includes being an accredited presenter for several Hanen programs and training for the Lidcombe program for early stuttering intervention.

‘‘I provide individual assessments, consultations and therapy sessions with written reports available upon request,’’ Fiona says.

Both women work alongside qualifi ed doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and psychologists at the clinic to provide patients with the best possible care.

Family Medical Centre has been supporting locals for 27 years, providing high-quality medical care for individuals and families.

The clinic’s comprehensive website has a list of patient resources and links to sites for specifi c conditions and healthcare information.

Family Medical Centre, 94 O’Shanassy Street, Sunbury, opens 7.30am-8pm, Monday-Friday and 9am-3.30pm Saturday. Inquiries: 9744 6222 or familymedicalcentre.com.au

Drawing on life’s challengesLevent Efe depicts how ethnic communities relate to Australia, writes Rebecca Miller

Cartoonist Levent Efe

Illustration training and expressinghimself through drawings is whatled Levent Efe to be a medical

illustrator and cartoonist.‘‘I did a post-doctoral degree in

medical illustration while overseasand that is my day job,’’ he says.

‘‘Freelance cartooning has alwaysbeen a healthy distraction, where I canexpress myself using the sameillustration skills.’’

From an early age, Turkish-bornLevent knew he wanted to use hiscreative talents to send subliminalmessages to society.

‘‘As a child I dreamt of channellingmy creative talent to fine arts, butdiscovered that figurative work anddidactic storytelling is what I do best.’’

‘‘My major mentor has been the lateOguz Aral, who single-handedly

nurtured an entire generation of car-toonists in Turkey in the 70s.’’

Levent focuses his cartooning ongiving a voice to people who’vemigrated to Australia, just as he didwhen he was 30.

‘‘My cartoons mostly appear in

Australian ethnic media, particularlythose published in Turkish. I try toshow the problems ethnic communitymembers face through integration.’’

His cartoons have appeared inmainstream newspapers, the TurkishReport Weekly newspaper and onlineblog, Ayorum.

‘‘Being able to get readers to thinkoutside the square and giving them agood belly laugh is the best reward fora cartoonist.’’

‘‘Life is multifaceted and there arelots of ways to interpret the world.Humour is the most creative one.Unique angles on life keeps me going.’’

He says his next career step is tocreate a perfect medium for online.

‘‘Media is going through enormouschanges and us creative folk have toadapt to ensure our craft isn’t lost.’’

Big on style, safety and economyEwan Kennedy and Derek Ogden road test the Hyundai i30

The new Hyundai i30: Moving forward in design and engine technology.

Designed for the European market atHyundai’s Technical Centre in Russels-heim, Germany, the new i30 takes on the

South Korean company’s ‘fluid sculpture’ stylewhich, it says, is inspired by nature and modernarchitecture. More practically, it gives the vehiclea slippery coefficient of friction of Cd 0.30, acornerstone of fuel economy.

Hyundai i30 gets straight to the point in thestyling stakes, with Hyundai’s signaturehexagonal radiator grille (chrome in thePremium test car we sampled), flanked by thelatest design HID xenon headlamps.

Sleek lines, offset by sculpted wheel archeshousing 17-inch alloy wheels, continue down theside of the vehicle, ending in a rear thatemphasises the vehicle’s wide stance.

The roof in the i30 Premium incorporates atwo-piece panoramic sunroof, the light fromwhich adds a feeling of space inside the cabin.A spoiler is positioned where the roof meets therear window.

The Hyundai i30, which comes in Active, Elite

and Premium variants, has been recognised as‘‘one of the safest in the small-car category’’ bythe Australasian New Car Assessment Program.

With room for five people, the Premium i30’scabin lives up to the model moniker with amodern mix of quality hard and soft surfaces.

Instruments are made easy to read with sports-style layout and blue back lighting.

The four-spoke steering wheel incorporates avariety of controls, including cruise control,audio and air-con.

The 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine has beenupdated to produce 10.6 per cent more power(94 kW) over the previous i30 and 3.4 per centreduction in combined highway/urban fuelconsumption

At motorway speeds, the test i30 CRDi hadfuel consumption of 5.2 litres per 100km,increasing to about eight litres per 100km in hardstop-start traffic motoring.

The Hyundai i30 Premium 1.6 turbo-dieselsix-speed automatic sells for $32,590, plus on-roads.

VW showcases Blue Efficiency

Thinking Blue: One of Volkswagen’s extreme fuel savers.

Although a disappointingly largenumber of Australians aretaking the head-in-the-sand

approach to climate change,Europeans are treating the problemseriously and are looking to buy carsthat maximise fuel efficiency.

Volkswagen is by far the biggestautomotive maker in Europe and thelocal Australian importer has justcompleted a major media event inCanberra to demonstrate the fuelsaving features of its latest models.

Running under the tag of Blue

Efficiency, Volkswagen’s extreme fuelsavers have numerous technicaldevices to trim carbon emissions andat the same time reduce their fuelusage. Stop-Start systems turn off theengine when it’s not required and fireit up again when needed.

Fuel Cutout stops fuel going into theengine when it’s not needed.

Brake Energy Recuperation chargesthe car’s battery when the brakes areused or the car is running downhill.

Gear Recommendation suggests thecorrect gear to the driver from

moment to moment for best efficiency.Coasting is the most interesting of

the new Volkswagen fuel savingsystems.

Intelligent Thermal Managementcuts engine cooling to a minimumuntil the powerplant has reached itscorrect operation temperature.

The greatest fuel saving method ofall is quite simply the person behindthe steering wheel.

Correct driving can easily trim fuelusage by 10 per cent.

Crossover adds appealEwan Kennedy reviews the Mitsubishi ASX

Versatile: New styling for the Mitsubishi ASX gives it a softer look to appeal to hatchback buyers.

Convenient: Steering wheel controls are easier to use.

In an interesting move, Mitsubishi has given itsASX crossover vehicle a softer look that it sayswill appeal to hatchback buyers more so than

those on the hunt for an SUV.However, the ASX still has the large grille look

and seems sure to remain a major player in thesmall SUV market in Australia, the fastest grow-ing of all areas in the sales race. Modifications tothe shape include new bumpers front and rear aswell as changes to the foglight surrounds and arevised shape to the so-called jetfighter grille.

Even more appealingly, the importer has used

the rising value of the Aussie dollar to trim pricesand at the same time increase equipment levels.

The range now starts at just $25,990 (plus onroads) for the Mitsubishi ASX with a five-speedmanual gearbox and front-wheel drive. That’s amouth-watering tag for a vehicle with Japanesebuild quality and out-of-the-ordinary styling.

Inside, there are chromed accents and a new-design steering wheel with easier to use controls.

Safety features across the entire ASX rangeinclude ABS brakes with electronic brakeforcedistribution and brake assist, stability andtraction control and front, side, curtain anddriver’s knee airbags.

Mechanical upgrades see fuel consumptionand carbon output cut by about 3 to 5 per cent.

The diesel engine is now best-in-class for offi-cial fuel efficiency, at 5.7 litres per 100 kilo-metres. The petrol unit runs at 7.7 litres perhundred kilometres on the combined cycle.

The Mitsubishi ASX (for Active Sports Cross-over) is either a compact SUV or a crossoverdepending on its mechanical specifications.When it comes with 2WD, it’s a hatchback with

good interior space and better-than-averageground clearance. Add 4WD and you get somereasonable ability off sealed surfaces.

There’s good interior space with plenty of rearleg and headroom. The boot is a good size.

Mitsubishi ASX comes with the choice of twoengines, a 2.0-litre petrol unit and a sophisticated1.8-litre direct-injection turbo-diesel. The front-

wheel drive Mitsubishi ASX has the option ofeither five-speed manual or CVT automatic. The4WD petrol is only available with CVT, while thediesel only comes with six-speed manual.

Mitsubishi ASX is a stylish and practical cross-over and as well as the reduced prices it also hasthe added assurance of Mitsubishi’s five-year/130,000km warranty.

Mercedes-Benz B-ClassEwan Kennedy’s used car checkout

Immensely practical: Above, the 2008 Mercedes-BenzB-Class. At left, the 2006 Mercedes-Benz B-Class.

CAR BUYING TIP: Cars with prestigious badges can bedriven just as badly as those from the lowliest on theimage stakes. Don’t fall for the fancy badge; have itfully inspected.

The Mercedes B-Class is an exceptionallypractical vehicle built on a stretched versionof the Mercedes A-Class platform. The

release of an all-new model in March 2012 hasgenerated added interest to those on the used-carmarket.

A taller than average five-door hatchback, theB-Class has a huge amount of interior space, withalmost as much legroom in the rear as in the bigS-Class Mercedes.

The B-Class’s front seats are large, well shapedand provide good support. There’s plenty ofspace for two big Aussie males in the rear andthree children will have stretch-out room.

The boot is bigger and more usable than thatof many much larger cars. Not only is it huge, theluggage area is versatile and you can even createan almost van-like interior by removing everyseat but the driver’s. The removable seats are anextra-cost option so may not be fitted to the oneyou’re examining.

We wouldn’t go as far as to call the B-Class a‘sports tourer’, but it does have a reasonablysleek style in its class.

WHAT TO LOOK FORA correctly driven and maintained Mercedes

B-Class is unlikely to have any faults, but it’s stillbest to have one inspected by a senior engineer atyour motoring club.

Take a good walk around the car checking forsigns of damage to the bumper corners, the wheelrims (the front left is the one that generallysuffers at the hands of poor parkers), and thedoor panels at their widest sections.

If you find what appears to have been majorrepairs to the body either pass it up altogether orbook it in for an after-crash inspection at areputable panel repairer.

Check the interior, particularly the rear seatsand the boot for evidence of harsh use.

In pursuit of FPV uteRelease of Ford’s head turner is strictly limited, writes Ewan Kennedy

Hot pursuit: The latest FPV Pursuit ute lookssinister in deep black with Vixen highlights.

At the same time as it introduced the newFalcon GT R-Spec sedan in Melbourne,Ford Performance Vehicles also

displayed the most limited of all limited-edition utes it has ever built.

Available only in Silhouette (a very blackblack) with Vixen stripes and accents, theFPV Pursuit ute will be limited to just 75units.

The latest FPV Pursuit ute has a GTcolour-coded front bumper and eight-inchalloy wheels in the same design as the nine-inch units fitted to the GT R-Spec.

The Pursuit has the standard features ofthe current GS ute, to which have been addeda Pursuit badge across the tailgate and a GTcolour-coded bumper that ties in nicely withthe decal pack featuring FPV’s ‘C’ stripe.

This eye-catching colour scheme lifts thelooks of the already good FPV body modific-ations. The result is a true Aussie-designedand -built ute that really stands out on theroad.

Inside, the latest FPV ute has Shadow

leather sports seats, a stylish piano-blackinterior finish around the ICC unit, the tissuebox and the door spears.

The limited edition Pursuit Ute is poweredby the FPV modified all-aluminium 315 kW5.0-litre Harrop-supercharged V8 engine.The engine is based on the Boss unit built forthe Ford Mustang in the US but gets quite afew modifications after it hits the FPV work-shop in Melbourne. The recommended man-ufacturer’s list price for the limited editionFPV Pursuit ute is $57,990. On-road andgovernments charges have to be added.

CALDER Cannons may be hoping for a bumpercrop of draftees this season but there will be noteam success after a 28-point loss to OakleighChargers on Sunday.

The Chargers kept the Cannons at arm’s lengthat Princes Park in Carlton in the TAC Cup elim-ination final to win 18.12 (120) to 13.14 (92).

For Calder, a perennial contender in the com-petition, the eighth-placed finish and eliminationfinal exit brings one of its earliest closes to a sea-son in recent times.

Oakleigh stamped its authority on the matchearly by kicking seven goals to four, before Cal-der closed the gap to just four points at the longbreak.

When Liam McBean kicked his fourth goal ofthe match early in the fourth quarter, Calder hitthe front, followed by a Joe Daniher goal tomake the margin nine points in Cannons’ favour.

But the surge would be the Cannons’ best andlast attempt to seize control of the game as Oak-leigh booted the next four goals unanswered tolead by 20 points at the final change.

The Chargers kept the momentum going at thestart of the last quarter to take the lead out to 40points before Calder reduced the margin latewith the last two goals of the game.

McBean finished with four goals for the matchwhile Xavier Allison booted three for theCannons and Daniher two.

BY TEO PELLIZZERI

SUNBURY Kangaroos overcame a third-quarterdeficit to beat Diggers Rest by 14 points in theRiddell District Football League qualifying finalon Saturday.

The Burras were gaining the upper hand at Kil-more in the third term when the margin stretchedto 20 points, but the Kangaroos rallied to comeback and win 8.15 (63) to 7.7 (49).

Sunbury advances to the second semi-finalagainst Romsey this weekend while Diggers Restmust play Riddell Bombers in the first elimina-tion final.

Both teams left the field goalless at the firstbreak before Diggers Rest wrestled the advant-age with two goals to one in the second term.

The Burras continued to extend the lead in thethird quarter only for a late rally from Sunburyto close the margin to three points at the finalchange.

‘‘In the middle of the year we would havedropped our heads,’’ Kangaroos co-coach ChrisMeacham said. ‘‘But with the belief we’ve got wejust kept coming and coming.

‘‘From a spectator point of view it [the first

quarter] would have looked scrappy but the balljust wasn’t coming into the forward 50 metrestoo much.’’ Meacham said switching midfieldmatch-ups to try and play one-on-one ratherthan tag Diggers Rest players had coincided withthe Burras getting the upper hand.

But young forward Phillip Kaufmann wouldbring the Kangaroos back into the contest whenhe was switched to full forward, booting threegoals.

Meacham moved himself into the forwardpocket and Kaufmann shone as the main forwardtarget, bringing in contested marks and havingfive shots for goal after the switch.

‘‘I asked at half-time for the players to step upand he [Kaufmann] pretty much announced him-self,’’ Meacham said.

‘‘I snapped one in the last, then Ryan Hattykicked one from the boundary and you could seethe heads drop. Normally their [Diggers] backline is up and about.’’

Meacham said after last year’s agonising grandfinal defeat to Romsey there would be no prob-lems keeping a lid on taking the upper hand inthe finals race. ‘‘We know Romsey are coming,we’re focusing on next week,’’ he said.

Brent Tuckey booted three goals as DiggersRest’s only multiple goal-kicker in his day-longduel with Sunbury’s Daniel Gregory.

Better players for the Burras were Dylan Han-nan, Stuart Clarke and Jeff Heritage.■ More RDFL results and this weekend’s finalsfixture — page 27

Sunbury erases jinxat Eastern OvalBY GAV McGRATH

Reaching in:Sunbury ruckmanPat Cariss conteststhe ball.

ONE monkey is off Sunbury’s back. One stillawaits.

The eastern Lions surprised arch-rival Redanin Saturday’s Ballarat Football League qualifyingfinal with a nine-goals-to-two first half on theway to an impressive 13.18 (96) to 8.13 (61) vic-tory at Eastern Oval.

In the process they ended a minor drought atthe venue they will have to play at on grand finalday if Sunbury is to vie for its first premiershipwin since 2004.

Sunbury coach Rick Horwood said observerswere happy to point out that the eastern Lionshad not won at Eastern Oval since 2010, and histeam had now taken care of that.

“The monkey is off our back. We won at East-ern Oval. We’re not getting too carried away.

“The players, they’re happy they’ve had a winbut they are already focused on recovery and theweek ahead.

“It is nice to beat Redan in September but itwon’t mean anything next time we play them.”

There was plenty of heat in the first eightminutes of the match, as the ball went from endto end. The only shot at goal was a miss to SimonClarke.

But after Scott Lobb kicked the first goal of thematch, Sunbury played a brand of football thatcould yet deliver it that elusive flag.

Simon Clarke dominated the air in the forward50. And anything that wasn’t marked by Clarkeor Dale Ciunik was picked off by small forwardsScott Lobb and Matthew Medcraft.

At the other end of the ground, Brett Cham-bers and Allan O’Connor had the better of theirown match-ups, while providing support up fieldas well.

In the middle, Pat Cariss was imposing, givingfirst use of the ball to Jay Cheep and Jamie Lobb.

In 15 minutes Sunbury was five goals up. Byhalf-time the margin was 41 points. In contrast,Redan looked flat.

The only effective target up forward was DeanChester, who had 2.4 to half-time.

“We got the first clearance. We were first inforward 50 but they got it out of there veryeasily,” Redan playing coach Brendan Peaceexplained.

“We lacked intensity. Our effort picked up inthe last three quarters but there is still room forimprovement.

‘‘Full credit to Sunbury, though. They playedvery well.”

The contest after half-time was far more evenas Matt Hyden, Brenton Riordan, Grant Bell,Jesse Dundon and Ryan Waight lifted up a gear.

Redan even managed to win the last quarter,three goals to one.

But the day was Sunbury’s, the eastern Lionsnow face East Point for a ticket into the grandfinal.

Redan, meanwhile, faces a sudden-death semi-final against North Ballarat City.

“You hope it stings us into action,” Peace said.“It’s all or nothing next week with a chance to goout in straight sets. I’d hope the group has a bitmore pride than that.”
