The stakes were as high off the track as they were on it at the 2017 Kyneton Cup. Pink hues, �orals

and towering headwear were �rst past the post in this year’s fashions on the �eld competition.

Trackside, thousands cheered home Dodging Bullets in the $100,000 main race. Cup organisers

were thrilled as the sunny spring day drew large crowds last Wednesday. ■ Full story: Page 3

Tickled pink with cup fever

By Serena Seyfort

Fi�y young Sunbury men have banded

together to raise funds and awareness

for men’s mental health a�er being

rocked by the recent loss of a mate.

�e Sunbury Mo Bros have raised

more than $18,000 in two weeks for

men’s mental health charity Movember

ahead of a fundraising evening later

this month.

Organiser Corey Hansen said the

team’s e�orts were not solely aimed

at raising money but establishing

awareness of mental health issues and

the community’s willingness to support

one another.

“We all want to get around each

other,” Mr Hansen said. “It’s times like

these that we stick together and show

each other what great mates we are.

“We’ve all been through a lot and

now we should spread some awareness

out there to help make sure this doesn’t

happen to others … everyone is here to

help.”�e Sunbury Mo Bros is centred

around the Sunbury Lions Football

Netball Club, whose players have been

devastated by the recent passing of

former player Tanner Bell.

Movember, a national campaign,

encourages men to grow a moustache

during the month of November

and raise money to highlight

men’s health issues such as prostate

cancer, testicular cancer, and men’s

suicide.But the Sunbury Mo Bros wanted to

take the campaign further and have

organised a Movember Fundraiser

evening.Posters advertising the event pay

tribute to Mr Bell.

“We have recently lost a great mate

in Tanner Bell, an amazing young man

with a smile as big as Luna Park who

was loved by all,” the �yers read.

�e event will be held at Sunbury

Football Social Club, at Clarke Oval,

Sunbury, on Friday, November 24, from

7pm.�e evening will include games, a DJ,

silent auctions and ra�es. Entry will

cost $10.To donate to the men’s e�orts visit

www.movember.com.au and search for

�e Sunbury Mo Bro’s team.

�e free parking limit at the Brimbank

multi-deck carpark o� Devonshire Road

in Sunshine, has increased from two to

three hours.

�e extended free parking limits for

the �rst three hours in the multi-deck

undercover carpark began this week.

But parking in the carpark for three to

�ve hours will now cost $2, while parking

all day (�ve hours and more) will cost $4.

Before the changes on November 6,

parking limits included free parking for

the �rst two hours, $2 for two to four

hours parking, and $4 for four-plus hours

parking.Outgoing Brimbank mayor John

Hedditch said from the start the purpose

of the multi-deck carpark was to o�er a

viable, practical and reasonably priced

parking option in the Sunshine Town

Centre.Cr Hedditch said the council adjusted

the parking time limits to ensure the new

carpark was “well utilised”.

“�e change was made in response to

feedback from Sunshine Leisure Centre

users who wanted the nearby multi-deck

carpark to o�er similar free parking

hours as the nearby centre so that it was

convenient for them to use,” Cr Hedditch

said. He said some more improvements will

also be investigated. �e council plans to

examine whether a right turn lane could

be provided into George Street from the

eastern approach of Devonshire Road.

Entry and exit to this carpark is from

George Street, o� Devonshire Road.

�e multi-deck carpark o�ers more

than 250 public spaces. It’s open every

day between 5.30am to 10pm.

Returned soldiers delivered a moving interactive

presentation to pupils at Sydenham-Hillside

Primary School as part of Remembrance Day.

Members of the Caroline Springs

RSL sub-branch presented personal accounts

of their own wartime memories and experiences

to grade 5 and 6 pupils at the school to mark

November 11; the 99th anniversary of the

Armistice which ended the First World War.

On the front line for remembrance Veteran Peter Burquest with students Frenardo amd Addison. (Dennis Manteklow)

�e presentation included some of the

soldier’s own military memorabilia such

as bullet belts, backpacks, cameras and

photographs.

�e special event was organised by the

Sydenham-Hillside Primary School’s

integration aid, Cheryl Kerr.

“Two years ago we [the school] were involved

in the Gallipoli Oaks Project and we established

ties with the Caroline Springs RSL then, so

since then, we’ve had this special relationship,”

Ms Kerr said.

“We never want our children to experience

war but I think it’s important that they

understand history and honour those who

made sacri�ces for us.”

of 10 o�enders wanted in relation to sexual

o�ences allegedly committed on Melbourne’s

train, tram and bus system.

Transit safety division Inspector Karl

Curran said sexual o�ences on public

transport included people exposing or

touching themselves inappropriately, people

engaging in sexual acts in front of commuters

and unwanted touching.

“People should be able to go about their daily

business without being touched inappropriately

by anybody. It is a crime,” he said.

By Alesha Capone

More than 50 sex o�ences have been reported

on public transport across the west in the past

�nancial year.

Victoria Police statistics show there were 51

sexual o�ences reported on, or near, public

transport in Brimbank, Melton, Wyndham,

Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong in the 2016-17

�nancial year.

�e number is almost double the 28 sexual

o�ences reported on public transport in the

west in the 2015-16 �nancial year. Of the 51

reported o�ences, 32 incidents occurred on

trains, at train stations and in station carparks.

�e remaining o�ences happened on buses,

at bus stops, in taxis, on trams and at tram stops,

although Maribyrnong is the only municipality

in the west which has trams.

�ree weeks ago, Victoria Police and Crime

Stoppers launched a campaign aimed at

raising awareness of sexual o�ences on public

transport.In that time, Crime Stoppers released photos

Inspector Curran said police believed the

incidences were under-reported, and that

authorities urged all victims to report crimes

they experienced.

“We’ll support them, we listen to what they

have to say and we’ll do everything we possibly

can to resolve this crime,” he said.

He said anyone experiencing, or witnessing,

a sexual crime should contact triple-0. If you

have been a victim contact triple-0, 1800

RESPECT or 1800respect.org.au. Report

information to Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
