    Author and alternative education pioneer John Marsden has plans to open a secondary school, including a specialised arts stream, at the former site of Macedon Grammar.

    Mr Marsden told Star Weekly he had purchased the 32-hectare Bailey Road site from Macedon Grammar Schools founder, Dr Alan Rose.

    Macedon Grammar was shut down by the state government in December last year aer being handed a show cause notice by the Victorian Registration and Qualications

    Author plans arts schoolAuthority (VRQA). Administrators Worrells held a creditors meeting last month, revealing the schools debt was more than $1.2 million.

    Mr Marsden, the founder and principal of Candlebark School near Romsey, said he hoped to open a new school at the site in time for 2016.

    He said he was unable to disclose the sale price.

    We came to terms a few days ago, Mr Marsden said last ursday.

    e plan is to open a full secondary school with a regular stream and a specialised stream for students wanting to do dance, arts, music, writing and so on.

    Mr Marsden said the new school, which he hopes will one day have about 200 students, would be a Victorian rst.

    Outside of the Victorian College of the Arts, I am not aware of any other school that oers this kind of specialisation, he said.

    e arts never used to be looked at as a serious career but nowadays creativity is such a valuable asset, it has to be taken more seriously.

    Mr Marsden said the new school would follow the Candlebark philosophy, giving students a broad range of experiences, oen outside the classroom.

    He said the Macedon Grammar site which

    has about 15 classrooms, a library, gym, swimming pool and sports facilities was well equipped.

    e buildings are in beautiful condition, Mr Marsden said.

    Its sad to see a school that was looked aer so well have to close.

    Mr Marsden said Dr Rose was very positive about Candlebarks plans.

    He said the next step was to seek approval from the VRQA.

    We would love to say we will open halfway through this year, but realistically it will probably be the start of next year.

    Its a long way from the paddocks of Clarkeeld to sunny Summer Bay, but former local Andrew Morley (pictured) is always happy to make the trip home.

    aware of the possibility of snakes coming into the backyard. But to nd one in the house is just mind-blowing.

    Were very lucky our daughter saw it when she did.

    Snake catcher Jake Harberger urged people to be wary of snakes despite this summers mild conditions.

    Were very lucky our daughter saw it when she did. - Brad

    By Matt Crossman

    A Sunbury father is warning people to watch out for unwanted visitors aer a snake was found curled up in his eight-year-old daughters bedroom.

    Brad, who didnt want his last name published, said that although the brown snake was safely removed, the incident could easily have been tragic.

    She walked into her room to go to bed aer having a shower and there was a brown snake, probably about 60cm long, half-curled on the oor, Brad said.

    She thought, thats not a toy and went and told her mum. Her mums not that keen on snakes so because I was at work she got a friend to come over.

    He found it in the built-in wardrobe, among a pile of shoes.

    Brad said he had lived with his family in Asheld estate for more than 12 years but had never seen a snake on the property before.

    He said he feared that had his daughter not seen the snake, she could have gone to bed and been bitten in her sleep.

    Its all very scary, he said. We live opposite vacant land near a creek so weve always been

    Its been a bit cold for snakes, but on the warmer days and nights theyre denitely about, Mr Harberger said.

    People should keep their yards free of rubbish, wood or hard metals and should check the seals on things like sliding doors because its pretty easy for a snake to sneak through.

    Mr Harberger said anyone who found a snake should phone a professional.

    Stay away, but keep an eye on it, he said. We get calls from people who freak out and run away, but when we get there weve got no idea where its gone.

    Snakes are protected under the Wildlife Act.

    ousands of classic, vintage and veteran cars will roll into the grounds of Hanging Rock this Sunday for the areas biggest annual automotive show.

    e Macedon Ranges and District Motor Clubs Picnic at Hanging Rock show is the largest single-day classic motoring event in Victoria, attracting more than 2000 entrants and many more spectators to the picturesque venue.

    Vintage cars join picnic at the Rock Macedon Ranges and District Motor Club committee member John van Gronigen with his 1955 Riley Pathnder. (Shawn Smits)

    Committee member John van Gronigen, who has entered his 1955 Riley Pathnder, says the 28th annual show will take enthusiasts on a fascinating and sometimes surprising trip down memory lane.

    We do get quite a few rare cars, he says. You might see the odd Lotus or Maserati, and we get some cars that have been heavily modied. eres also a lot of motorcycles.

    All cars and bikes entered must be at least 25 years old.

    Mr van Gronigens Riley is one of just four or ve of its type in Victoria.

    He bought it in 1996 aer nding it in an old farm shed, where it had sat untouched for almost 35 years.

    Like all English cars of that era, it has an understated luxury, he says. Its a beautiful car to drive. ey sure dont have the get up and go of the American muscle cars; they were more a car for touring.

    Gates open at 8am. General admission costs $20 per vehicle, $5 for pedestrians. For more details, go online to www.picnicathangingrock.com.au.

    Too many parents in the Macedon Ranges are putting their children and others at risk by not having them properly immunised, a local nurse has claimed.

    Macedon Ranges council immunisation nurse Wendy Ashton said vaccination rates were too low, potentially exposing children to a range of potentially dangerous diseases.

    Latest Health Department gures reveal that immunisation among ve-year-olds

    She urged parents to learn about immunisation. Children who are properly immunised, it gives them a great deal of safety against some of these diseases that are creeping back into society, she said.

    My advice to people is to educate yourself as much as possible. Talk to your GP or maternal child and health nurse, so that you can make a properly informed decision.

    Hopefully, that choice will be pro- vaccination, she said.

    Ms Ashton said she supported the state

    in the Macedon Ranges is at 91.24 per cent. Neighbouring municipalities have higher rates.

    In Hume, 92.87 per cent of ve-year-olds are immunised; in Mitchell its 93.94 per cent and in Melton, 94.34 per cent.

    According to the Australian Medical Association, 93 per cent of children need to be vaccinated to stop the spread of disease.

    Ms Ashton said immunisation was the best defence against illness and death from vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and polio.

    governments promise to reintroduce a free whooping cough vaccine program aer a surge in the number of cases last year.

    She said she had picked up the disease herself in late 2013.

    I wouldnt wish it on an adult, let alone a child, Ms Ashton said.

    e council provides free immunisations as set out by the national immunisation program schedule. Sessions will be held in Gisborne, Kyneton and Woodend this ursday.

    For more details, visit goo.gl/NFt0fV.

    Child vaccination rates too low

    Pulled pork sliders, lemon slice and vegetarian baguettes will be served up by St Beans Provedores Kate Graham (pictured) at the rst Taste of Kyneton festival.

Restaurants will dish out special tasting dishes, while wineries will offer cellar door samples. Local beer and cider will also be available. The festival will include live music, rides, face-painting and roving entertainers. St Beans Kylie Bell says people can bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a great family day.

    A Sunbury community kitchen that has been operating for 18 months hasnt just given people in need a free meal its given them a purpose.

    ats the belief of co-founder Neil Williams, who was presented with the Kiwanis Club of Sunburys citizen of the year award on Australia Day.

    Fellow kitchen volunteer Rick Daicos was named young citizen of the year.

    Mr Williams, who started the kitchen with wife Marianne in late 2013, says many of those who benet from the weekly service have previously been stuck at home with not much social life.

    We have people telling us that it has completely changed their lives, he says.

    e Rotary Club project has become a social hub, which Mr Williams says has gone much further than he ever expected.

    Weve got close to 50 volunteers feeding between 100 and 150 people a week, he says.

    But if it wasnt for the support of the Rotary Club, businesses and the community, it just wouldnt work.

    Mr Williams says the kitchen continues to oer hearty meals and a friendly, caring environment to sit and chat.

    Its like I always say to our volunteers, we dont judge anyone who comes in because we dont know their situation.

    e community kitchen will resume on this week aer a summer hiatus.

    Macedon Ranges top trac cop has been le shaking his head in disbelief aer more than 30 speeding drivers were nabbed as part of a statewide roads blitz.

    Operation Amity also uncovered ve unregistered vehicles, one unlicensed driver, one disqualied driver and two seatbelt oences on local roads.

    Two motorists had their cars impounded as part of the operation, held on the Australia

    about, the operation did not detect anyone drink or drug driving.

    But Sergeant Neil said ocers had already been called to more minor collisions than this time last year.

    Day long weekend. Macedon Ranges highway patrol Sergeant Geo Neil said the number of drivers caught breaking speed limits on the areas roads (33) was way too high.

    Unfortunately, its fairly consistent with some peoples attitudes, Sergeant Neil said.

    We nicked one driver doing 172km/h on the Calder Freeway near Malmsbury, which is just ridiculous.

    Most of the speeding oences were upwards of 25km/h [over the speed limit].

    If there was anything for police to be happy

    He urged motorists to keep their eyes and minds on the roads.

    We are never going to get anywhere with road safety if the community doesnt come with us, he said.

    In neighbouring Hume, including Sunbury, police caught two motorists speeding.

    ey also detected four unregistered vehicles, three unlicensed drivers and seven people disobeying trac signs or signals.

    More than 135,000 motorists were breath- tested across the state as part of the operation.

    Arsonist search goes onPolice are investigating possible leads about a series of suspicious res in Sunbury. Detectives set up a caravan in Racecourse Road last month, seeking details about a suspected serial arsonist seen near the res. He was riding an unregistered, dark-coloured dirt bike and wearing a dark helmet with a personal camera attached. Detective Acting Sergeant Dennis Cunha last week said police were still sifting through information after being inundated with calls.

    CCTV clue to murderHomicide detectives have uncovered footage showing a twin-cab utility following the Peugeot of a man whose body was later found in the boot of the burnt-out car in Diggers Rest last year. Footscray man Kenan Balikels charred body was found in the boot of his unregistered car on Bulla-Diggers Rest Road at 12.20am on October 31. The CCTV footage shows the ute, which had a hard-top canopy, travelling behind Mr Balikels car on Mickleham Road, Tullamarine. Detective Senior Sergeant Stuart Bailey said police believed Mr Balikel was murdered in the vicinity of Freight Road some time between 3pm and 4pm on October 30. They believe his body was later taken to Diggers Rest in the boot of his car.

    Locals review ambosWoodend paramedic Jan Einsiedel and Macedon Labor MP Mary-Anne Thomas will join a committee investigating statewide ambulance services and response times.

    Carlsruhe mother Kerrie Grant is urging people to take a break from unhealthy habits and help young people battling addictions get the break they need.

    Ms Grant (pictured) is a keen supporter of FebFast, an annual event that encourages people to deny their cravings and raise money for early intervention programs for children tackling drug, alcohol and mental health problems.

    Several new fasts have been introduced this

    year. Participants can choose to quit alcohol, junk food, social media or smoking.

    Ms Grant gave up sugar last year.I must confess I have a little bit of an

    addiction to chocolate, she says. I allowed myself the fructose in fruit so, for

    me, it was a matter of substituting a chocolate bar with an apple.

    7 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 3, 2015

    By Matt Crossman

    Works to improve a busy Gisborne access road are expected to greatly improve trac ows and reduce risks to drivers and pedestrians.

    Residents say Rodney Street, which links Melbourne Road and Howey Street, has become increasingly busy in recent years because of residential expansion.

    e narrow, partially-sealed road has no gutters, drainage, footpaths or kerbing but is used by hundreds of cars every day.

    A $332,000 project to widen the road and install underground drainage is under way.

    John DeLai, who has lived in the street since 1965, said the narrow strip of bitumen was no longer up to scratch, with 60-70 new units built in Rodney Street alone.

    With so many people coming into town, the road just doesnt cut it, he said. A lot of people are using it to access the main part of town and its becoming more and more dangerous.

    eres only room for one car, so people have got to move over all the time to let other cars through.

    Mr DeLai said the street was even more dangerous on rubbish collection days, with bins clogging it on both sides.

    Macedon Ranges south ward councillor Russell Mowatt said the council was covering 75 per cent of the cost of works, with residents contributing 25 per cent under a special-charge scheme.

    is road is an important part of the Gisborne road network and services many local residents, Cr Mowatt said.

    Rodney Street is closed to through trac while works take place.

    A diversion has been put in place for the town bus service.

    e street is expected to reopen in April.

    Two Hume councillors at the centre of claims about alleged intimidating behaviour have called for a report from the investigation to be released.

    Councillors Jack Ogilvie and Steve Jack Medcra fronted an independent inquiry late last year aer the council received several formal complaints following a ery meeting in Broadmeadows last September about Sunburys separation from Hume.

    Both councillors claim the subsequent investigation cleared them of all complaints. It was an independent panel that cleared Jack and I of all claims, Cr Ogilvie said. I want it released so it clears our names. Cr Medcra said the two councillors had been crucied. e claims were made in public; the report should be made public also, he said.

    Sunbury resident and pro-split supporter Trevor Dance said the report should be released with any sensitive sections blacked out.

    But council chief executive Domenic Isola said the report would not be made public. e investigation ndings cant be disclosed due to privacy and condentiality considerations, and the fact that they are subject to legal professional privilege. Mr Isola conrmed a meeting last week between the council and Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins had covered a range of issues about the Sunbury project.

The popular nature reserve will remain closed to the public for the foreseeable future due to dangerous trees and inaccessible pathways.

    KNOW YOUR GRASSFIRE RISK THIS SUMMERIf you live near open grassland, parks, paddocks or reserves, you could be impacted by grassfire.

    ITS UP TO YOU TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE STARTS.

    Remember, its up to you to monitor weather conditions and warnings. Always keep an eye on the conditions outside - you may be aware of a fire before emergency services. If you see smoke or flames, call Triple Zero (000).

    Authorised by the Victorian Government, 1 Treasury Place, Melbourne

    DO YOU LIVE ON A FENCELINE NEXT TO GRASSLAND? If a fire starts, quickly move one

    or two streets away from the fenceline or park boundary

    Act early, even if you havent received a warning

    Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

    DO YOU LIVE ONE OR TWO STREETS AWAY FROM GRASSLAND?

    Stay inside your home grassfires are unlikely to spread past the first row of houses

    Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

    A great raw deal

    With every new year comes new resolutions.For some, they include aiming for healthier lifestyles and better eating.Eating more raw food is something to consider.Its simply about consuming fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds that havent been cooked, processed or had preservatives added.Eating raw food can also be about ditching dairy and bad oils.Obesity and over-eating are often attributed to processed foods that lack bre.Raw foods, such as fruit and vegetables, can be full of bre and vitamins that satisfy for longer.

    Eating raw doesnt mean going without desserts or treats.Raw food sweet snacks and dessert concoctions can taste just as sweet as those made from processed sugar, butter, chocolate, milk and oil. So consider trying raw and organic options such as agave (plant-based sweetener), almond or cashew butter, coconut oil, almond or coconut milk, and cacao. Using healthy alternative ingredients instead of processed varieties may give your body the nutrients it is seeking while also delighting your tastebuds.Changing to eating more raw food can be as simple as replacing a sugary cereal or white

    toast at breakfast with a fruit smoothie or green shake. Or take a salad to work for lunch instead of visiting the local caf, and eat more vegetables for dinner.Eating raw means there is less need to go to supermarkets as most greengrocers and health- food shops have whats required for many recipes.If eating healthier this year sounds like a good idea, put down that chocolate bar and head to a raw food website such as www.rawfoodforlife.org for great replacement suggestions.

    Ankle Impingement is a common condition in many sports people especially footballers and basketballers. It involves pain across the front of the ankle joint often with no apparent recent injury, such as rolling the ankle.The main complaints are:1. Pain across front of ankle joint2. Pain when foot is fully pointed such as kicking3. Pain on pushing off from a standing start or a sudden change of speed or direction.This pain can get progressively worse if not addressed.The cause of ankle impingement is pinching. As the ankles is bent upwards the tissue is pinched. As the ankle points down the tissue is stretched. Normally there is enough room at the front of the ankle, but if the capsule is swollen and the bones become worn there but if the capsule is swollen and the bones become worn, causing spurring, then problems arise.The treatment relates to management to control the swelling and minimise the aggravation.Steps to follow are:1. Diagnosis by your Physiotherapist or Sports Physician.2. Manage Aggravations (eg: rest, avoid painful kicking and pushing off that foot).3. RICE (rest, ice, compression & elevation) after sport, games and training.4. Strap/Tape for support (your physiotherapist will guide you with this).5. Physiotherapy treatments such as ankle mobilisation, appropriate stretching and rehabilitation to address other issues such as a ligament or muscle weakness and balance problems.An X-ray is often taken which can show bony spurs that look like sharp edges. If physiotherapy and the above management is not successful you may need surgery to clear out any debris and smooth the bone at the front of the ankle.

    Many people like routine, particularly when it comes to seeing the same doctor who is familiar with their healthcare needs. And the patients of Family Medical Centre (FMC) have this assurance with two popular doctors, Greg Saville and Anurita Kar, returning to the clinic.Were welcoming back Dr Saville, who worked at FMC in 2013 while completing his GP Registrar rotation, GP liaison and marketing manager Danielle Smith says.His clinical interests include dermatology, geriatrics and cardiovascular medicine and hell be available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.Dr Kar has been missed by many patients while she was away travelling, but shes back to treat them from Monday to Thursday.The clinic is part of the GP Registrar program, which allows qualied doctors who have chosen to specialise in general practice the opportunity to develop their skills and get a feel for medicine away from a hospital. Being part of this program is very rewarding as we get to meet so many up-and-coming GPs, Danielle says.

    Like Dr Saville and Dr Kar, some decide to stay permanently.FMC is also welcoming four female GPs Mais Ali, Rajvir Singh, Claire Kembrey and Holly Harman who are part of the GP Registrar Program with six-12 month placements and some looking to stay permanently. The senior doctors at FMC are also well loved, including GP supervisors Dr Jim Lupton, who won a supervisor of the year award in 2011, and Dr Joe Horvat.FMC is now into its 30th year providing healthcare to the Sunbury community including a range of allied health services. Locals can keep up to date with whats happening there by collecting the clinics monthly patient newsletter from reception or by visiting their website or Facebook page. And patients can nd many helpful medical resources on the FMC website for physical and mental health conditions.

    Advantages of a Property Manager

    A ne example of its era, this architect-designed house on about 1714 square metres has all the architectural tricks to make it a classic: angled ceilings in timber and plaster, exposed bricks and beams and cedar-framed doors and windows. Three bedrooms include the main at the front, with robe and en suite; the other two (with robes) are at the back near the main bathroom with enclosed toilet. The entry hall opens up to a large lounge-dining area, with access to a study. Next to a big family-meals area, the kitchen has ample cupboards, stainless-steel wall oven and gas cooktop. An undercover entertainment area paved in bricks looks out to a great garden with mature trees, and theres a large shed/workshop. Close to schools, shops, station and Calder Freeway access, the property is also within 45 minutes of the CBD and 30 of the airport.

    Theres nothing particularly fancy- schmancy about this brick veneer, but what it does have in spades is a sense of quiet elegance, a smart oorplan for family life, and gardens fully established and very pretty.

    Outdoors is as well presented as the interior, which has a soft-green and terracotta motif on oors and windows. A splash of a deep dusky-rose on feature walls adds a bit of bold romance, which works well with elegant drapes and fabric pelmets.

    The rooms beyond the front door through

    to the living hub could be termed the adult zone. These include the main bedroom, with walk-in robe and en suite; an open study across the way; and a full-width (carpeted) lounge-dining room with a gas log re. This latter room can be closed off from the activity centre at the back via a leadlight door, making it a choice spot for entertaining.

    The living hub of kitchen, meals and sitting area is arguably the star of this place. Lovely spotted gum oorboards stretch out in kitchen and meals zones, while carpet makes the sitting area a

    comfortable one. But the highlight is the bank of windows extending unbroken along two walls, which not only admits loads of natural light but also serves to bring garden snapshots into focus.

    The kitchen has soft-green laminate atop timber-laminate cupboards, a servery/breakfast bench, two-door corner pantry, dishwasher, wall oven and electric cooktop.

    One bedroom (plus laundry with closet) is off the hub, while the other two are down a carpeted hallway, as are the separate toilet and main bathroom with a spa; each bedroom has a robe and timber blinds.

    A partially-covered gabled pergola above terracotta-toned tiles makes a commodious spot for outdoor relaxation, and views of gardens full of colour enhance any occasion. Out back, theres a lattice-work pergola covered with a glorious pink climbing rose; a stretch of lawn behind a sleeper retaining wall; and a pencil pine parade along the back fence.

    Within a walk of schools and Spavin Lake, the property also has gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a double garage.

    CELEBRATING AUSTRALIAAs we gathered together for the Australia Daycelebrations I wonder what your thoughts were andare in regard to our home, our nation.

    What is it that we celebrate on Australia day? IsAustralia Day simply another long weekend, a chanceto go camping, fishing or water skiing? Is AustraliaDay a chance to turn on the barby and get togetherwith mates.

    For some, Australia Day is the day of becomingAustralian of taking the oath of allegiance andaccepting citizenship or,or,or do any of us think of thehistorical background and the enormous changeswhich have taken place.

    We can see the first landing as the birth of a Nation,or,or,or we could see it as the invasion of a country bya foreign power accompanied by bloodshed andgenocide.

    Australia is and always has been a multi-culturalcountry. The indigenous people maintained thiscountry for thousands of years. The arrival of the Tallships brought English, Irish, Scotts and a smatteringfrom Europe. The Gold rush brought a vast array ofnationalities including the Chinese (men only) andincluding Great Grandfather.Grandfather.Grandfather

    I am proudly Australian; we have a wonderful countryfree from civil war and, though our men and woman ofthe defence forces fight in other countries, we have,so far,far,far largely escaped warfare on our shores.

    We must stand strong and maintain our freedom, ourway of life.

    Be proudly Australian.
