Never sick of clowning around
Ballan CommBank staff are inviting local residents to help

them raise funds for the Clown Doctors this Friday.
From 11am to 2pm, branch staff will be supporting the
Clown Doctors with a sausage sizzle outside the branch on
Inglis St and an opportunity to meet My Kitchen Rules stars
Rose and Josh.
The Clown Doctors are a not-for-profit organisation that
treats sick kids in hospital with a different kind of medicine
fun and laughter. Throughout the month of March,
CommBank branches across Australia will be raising
funds in the lead up to the Clown Doctors national day of
fundraising, Smile Day, on April 1.
Ballan CommBank branch manager Leonie Watson said:

Weve been supporting the Clown Doctors for more than
16 years, and its a cause our staff are very passionate about.
Through our fundraising day, we hope to help the Clown

Doctors achieve their goal of conducting more clown rounds
in hospitals across Australia, and we encourage local
residents to come into the branch, share some laughs and
make a donation, she said.
Clown Doctors CEO Melinda Farrell said: Being in hospital
brings with it a range of emotions, especially for young

children. We aim to share a dose of laughter with kids to help
them through this difficult time.
Wed like to thank the Ballan CommBank branch and those

in the local community for their continued support. Your
generosity will help put smiles on thousands of childrens
faces.
Donations to the Clown Doctors can be made at any
CommBank branch throughout March or online at
commbank.com.au/clowndoctors.

Lock it or lose it
By Kate Taylor
Thefts from cars are on the

rise in the Ballan area and
locking up is the best way to
stop it happening.
Local Police are urging
drivers to lock their vehicles
or risk losing their belongings following a spate of
thefts last month.
There were 16 thefts from
cars reported in the Ballan
area in February, including
Funding for the Planning

Flying Squad is vital, according to Shadow Minister for
Planning and Local Government David Davis.
Mr Davis called on the State
Government to guarantee
funding for the Rural Council Planning Flying Squad,
which was launched by the
previous Coalition Government in 2011 to provide
specialist expert and technical assistance to rural and
regional councils on issues
such as major projects and
developments,
long-term
15 from vehicles that had

been left unlocked.
Crime Prevention Officer
Leading Senior Constable
Donna Parsons said offences
commonly occur at night
with thieves stealing visible
items such as cash, laptops,
electronic goods and tools.
Theft from motor vehicles
are still far too common in
our community. Unlocked
doors and windows invite
crime and attract unwanted
attention from opportunistic

thieves, she said.
Again we are asking the
community to take steps to
protect themselves from becoming a victim of vehicle
crime.
There are a number of simple steps residents can take
to help deter thieves including lock cars at all times
even when parking at home
in the driveway or garage;
not leaving valuable items in
full view of passers-by; park

in well-lit and secure areas
if possible; and report suspicious behaviour to police
immediately via Triple Zero.
Anyone with any information about vehicle crime
is urged to contact Crime
Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or
submit a confidential crime
report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au. Ballan Police can also be contacted on
5368 1303.
land use issues, strategic

plans as well as immediate
planning support with planning permit and amendment
work.
Planning processes will be
severely curtailed for small
rural Councils in particular,
should this vital assistance
be defunded, he said.
Planning Minister Richard
Wynne dismissed the call.
The previous government
has only funded the current
Planning Flying Squad until
June 30 this year.
It is a bit rich for Peter Ryan
now that he is out of public
life to be stirring trouble
about a program that he

was directly responsible for
funding until June 30.
I will be working with my
colleagues and the responsible minister, the Minister
for Regional Development
Jaala Pulford, to carefully
consider this program in the
wider context of reforms to
Victorias planning system
and the review currently
underway into Regional Development Victoria.
Moorabool Shire Council
Mayor Paul Tatchell said that
either way, council needs the
help.
Because of our growth,
large area and relatively

lower rate base, peri-urban
councils like ours often require the level of planning
resources of metropolitan
Councils, but cant afford
them, so any assistance from
the State Government is always welcome, he said.
Weve utilised the service
and look forward to partnering with the new state government regarding resources from this program or any
other alternative proposed
that could assist us in our
planning for the expected
growth.

A GORDON mum has

helped saved the life of a
woman experiencing a diabetic hypoglycaemic reaction using QR codes.
Last September Janine
Campbell invented fun, colourful identification cards
and wristbands using QR
codes called QRKids. One of
her ID cards was put to the
test last week at the YMCA
aquatic centre in Ballarat,
when a lady in her 60s felt
unwell in the changerooms.
Mrs Campbell said one of
the womans friends went
to get a staff member to help
her.
The staff member, who has
never seen one of the critical incident ID cards before,
found it in her purse, read
the back of the card which
says In Case of Emergency
OR If I need assistance,
please scan the QRcode. She
scanned it, got the information needed and saved the
situation from being far
worse than it could have so
easily been, she said.
I cannot tell you just how
happy I am to hear the feedback that one of my encoded
cards helped someone in
their time of need. This is exactly why I love doing what I
do and why I do what I do. I
helped.
Mrs Campbell said she developed the idea for QRKids
when she was on a kinder
excursion with her youngest daughter and saw all
the children wearing cards
around their necks with
their personal contact details
clearly visible to everyone.
LIFE SAVER Janine Campbell is the creator of QR codes, which recently helped to save
a womans life. Photo Helen Tatchell
She said QRKids ID cards
and wristbands used QR
codes to protect privacy but
also allow important information to be scanned in
emergency situations.
I help special needs kids

and kids in general, the
vulnerable, injured, elderly,
those on treatment, lone

workers and so many more.
Our products can even assist
medical departments, teachers, workplaces and travellers, she said.
Everything I make is custom created because every
single QR code is going to be
different.
She said the codes worked

in remote areas and werent
dependent on phone coverage to scan the information.

Were court costs

reimbursed to council?
Report to reveal if dog attack
court costs were paid
West Ward Councillor Tom
Sullivan is tidying up council business.
In Urgent Business at the

March council meeting, Cr
Sullivan asked for two reports one regarding a cycling event that crosses into
Moorabool, and one regarding a dog attack court case
last year.
There was a cycle race

conducted in Ballarat early
this year in January - part of
which went into Moorabool
Shire, he said, referring to
the annual Australian Open
Road Cycling Championships held in Buninyong and
Ballarat.
It caused road closures
and the like and I just want
an update of basically what
benefit is derived for Moorabool Shire in having an
event like that, given the potential inconvenience to our
ratepayers, and I just want a
report that says was there a
benefit to Moorabool Shire
or not?
Cr Sullivan said the scope of

the report should be broad.
It wasnt limited to financial issues, with people
inconvenienced, and the
secondary thing of what is
the process by which council assesses applications for
such events?
We need to weigh up what
are the advantages to this
municipality, do we get any
kudos because of it, does it
cost us money, do we have to
go and do work on the roads;
I really want to know what
its really costing us and
what is the benefit.
Cr Sullivan also asked for a
final report into a case where
a dog attacked a young girl
on a private property at Balliang in June 2013; Council
was forced by State Government legislation to spend
$100,000 to take the case
to court to have the dog
destroyed.
Magistrate Peter Mithen
found the dog owners Stuart, Denise and Anthony
Wilson guilty of the charge
of owning a dog that caused
serious injury, but refused to

exercise his powers to have
the dog destroyed or declared dangerous; the Wilsons were fined $2000 each,
plus pound costs of almost
$12,000 and were ordered to
pay Councils court costs.
However Councils 2013/14
annual report stated that the
shire incurred unexpected
legal costs including $98,000
for animal enforcement legal
proceedings meaning that
the Wilson family did not in
fact pay councils court costs
as ordered.
I just wanted an update
- we havent actually had
a final report on the whole
matter thats all, and it does
involve financials, so I want
to know where we sit in this
whole thing, Cr Sullivan
explained.
He said that no one thing
prompted his request.
We need information for a
start before we can make any
assumptions, so thats where
Im starting so I need to get
what happened there. One
cant form an opinion until
we have the information; a

final summary of the whole
event, what it cost council,
we just need to make sure - I
Mr Hallett said.
They rose to the challenge

and different people on the
camp commented on how
well the boys and girls handled themselves.
Were hoping it will become an annual event. It was
a really successful exercise.
Tony Bellette said with six

out of nine Glenroy scouts
in wheelchairs the anticipation and expectations for the
camp experience were very
high.
That night they happily
slept in tents with many
of the Glenroy scouts camping in tents for the very first
time, Mr Bellette said.
Everyone was given open

access to a unique high
ropes course a course
where everyone participated
and enjoyed the experience
of being off the ground and
flying through the air.
The program was intense,

bonding the groups through
the understanding that
scouts are thrifty, courageous, respectful, cheerful,
considerate, helpful and
friendly.
The unique and inclusive
camp also impressed Victorias scout hierarchy, with
visits from the Djerriwarrh
district scout leader Colleen
Thompson and the state
commissioner for diversity
and inclusion.

wouldnt be doing my duty
if I didnt follow these things

up and find out what the fi-
nal wash-up of these things

is basically.
We just need closure on
this and a lot of things at

council; what the net cost to
council was, because if you
dont have that information

then how can you make
decisions going forward if

similar things occur in the
future? You base your future
decisions on past experience,

timeframe on when either

report should come before

its not appropriate - I want a

than a hurried response.

Due date on
rates extended
By Kate Taylor
Residents paying their
council rates in full will have
an extra 14 days to do so.
Reminder letters will be
sent to those ratepayers who
have opted to pay in full
and not by instalments, and
who have not paid their full
amount by the due date.
No interest will be calculated for the 14 day period.
Councillors voted to make a
series of amendments at the
March council meeting, following recommendations in
a review of the Property Rate
Debt Management policy.
A report prepared by council officers explained that the
process was trialled within
the 2013/14 financial year.
Most residents were generally appreciative of being
given an additional reminder without incurring penalties and made a significant
improvement to the conversations that the revenue
team had with ratepayers in
regards to the payment of
their rate accounts, it read.
Those ratepayers with special payment arrangements

will also have to clear their
outstanding debt within a 12
month period if the debt
is not cleared within the 12
months, then financial hardship provisions must be considered if the property is the
principal place of residence.
Council currently has a
number of special payment
arrangements which are
making very low regular
payments but the outstanding debt continues to grow
as the regular payments do
not address the annual debt
levied to the account, the
report read.
An amendment was also
made so that rate accounts
with a balance of less than
$1000 will not be escalated
to a debt collection agency
due to the cost of pursuing
matters through the Magistrates Court.
A number of criteria were
also introduced in relation to
applications to waiver interest and costs associated with
rates bills.
The 14 day reminder notice

is set to apply to the 2100
ratepayers who pay their
rates bill in full, out of Moorabools 15,000 ratepayers.
Council CEO Rob Croxford
approves of the move.
Through a recent review
of the Property Rate Debt
Management Policy an additional step has been added
to the property rate account
escalations to allow a further
opportunity for ratepayers
to reduce financial stress or
those ratepayers that have
overlooked or are struggling
with payment time frames,
he said.
The additional cost and
administrative time is immaterial when compared to
the additional service.
Council
trialled
this
process last year which
improved
communication between council and
ratepayers and was very
successful.
Sullivan raised concerns
over the extra 14 days, saying it provides no incentive

for people to pay by the

original date.
I understand the intent,
which is to assist people who
may have difficulty paying
their rates, but as its proposed it extends the deadline by 14 days and thats a
concern, that the deadline
for rates payment wont be
fixed.
If the date of payment
is going to potentially be
extended, where does that
leave us? Im not saying people will abuse it but it does
beg the question, thats all.
Cr Sullivan said that he is
not concerned about the cost
of the mailout.
Given that the vast majority of people pay their rates
by instalments or pay on
time, I think its no different
than if a business sends out
notices to people. Council
gets bulk mail rates anyway
so its not a big cost - its just
the potential of the payment
date not being fixed.

Commercial rates for hiring facilities at Bacchus

Marshs Lerderderg Library are going up.
Councillors voted for the increase at the Wednesday 4
March meeting.
A report prepared by council officers and tabled at the
meeting explained that current charges only have a rate
for community groups not commercial businesses,
which have been paying the reduced community group
rate.
Since the opening of the Lerderderg Library in 2011,
the use of the three meeting rooms has been steadily
increasing. The meeting rooms are used regularly by
community groups, committees, Council staff and for
functions and Council meetings, the report read.
Over the last 12 months, officers have received an
increasing number of requests for hire of the meeting
rooms from commercial businesses.
Councillors discussed that community groups will be
given priority over commercial groups in hiring the
rooms.
The decision will see hire of the Geoffrey Hine room
increased from $11.50 per hour for casual hire or $6 per
hour for regular hire, to $20 per hour - $30 with use of
video conferencing facilities; or $110 per day - $160 with
use of video conferencing facilities.
Use of the Jean Oomes room will increase to $25 per
hour or $130 per day, up from 17 per hour or $11 for
regular hire per hour, and $33 for eight hours.
Use of the James Young room will increase from $17
per hour or $11 for regular hire, and $56 per day, up to
$35 per hour or $160 per day.
The community group rate will remain the same, with
no increase.

Member for Macedon,
Mary-Anne Thomas has announced $7000 for a partnership between the Bacchus
Marsh, Ballan and Daylesford neighbourhood centres.
The State Government
funding would bring together the three neighbourhood
centres to explore ways they
could share training and
resources for pre-accredited
courses.
As well as providing
courses that cater for a diverse range of interests,
neighbourhood centres improve opportunities to those
in our community who have
experienced barriers to education to develop the skills
they need to find work or
further their education, Ms
Thomas said.
They are a lifeline for
many disadvantaged learners in our community.
Im pleased to see local
organisations across the district partnering together to
provide better opportunities
for learners, she said.
This funding will help
make training more cost effective and accessible and
helping to skill our workforce for jobs now and in the
future.

Applications must be
judged on merits
By Kate Taylor
A permit to build a house
and shed on a Warrenheip
farm has been approved,
despite concerns that it will
change the area from farms
to lifestyle properties.
The applicant, Jim Frawley,
stated that the house is required for constant monitoring of the propertys cattle
stud business.
The property is located
seven kilometres east of
Ballarat.
Councillors voted at the
March meeting to grant the
permit, based on a report
prepared by council officers.
Two objections to the permit were lodged, however
the concerns were dismissed
by the report which stated
only one concern.
The Officer had some
concerns the proposed agricultural use of a cattle stud
could also be interpreted
primarily as grazing activity, for which justification
for a dwelling is difficult to
establish, the report read.
However a Farm Management Plan provided by the
applicant addressed the concern, and the recommenda-
tion was made for council to

approve the application.
Objector Keith Parry spoke
at the meeting, saying that a
property down the road had
recently acquired a permit
to build a house then had
subdivided and the land
is now on the market, at a
much higher price because
it comes with the permit to
build a house.
Council has let two of
these through, how can they
stop the others?
While Im in the middle of
it, Ill keep fighting it. I have
70 acres, this is very valuable
farmland its the best dirt
in the district.
These people want to get a
permit, sell it, gain the money and go, he said.
The report said that council takes the applicant at his
word that he wishes to live
on and farm the land in accordance with the Farm
Management Plan, saying
that if the land is sold then
the purchaser is also required to develop the land
in accordance with the planning permit, as well as the
Farm Management Plan or
approved agricultural use.
The permit was granted
with a number of conditions, including that the applicants two land titles be
consolidated.
East Ward Councillor Dave
Edwards, who voted against
granting the permit, said
that balancing rural living
properties with farming is
always going to be a hard
ask.
Its always going to be people wanting rural-type living versus the sustainability
of farming - if we continue
to slice up those smaller lots,
they become more valuable
if you can put a house on it
and that puts price pressure
on. It makes it more and
more difficult for farming
to become more sustainable and it makes it all rural
living.
I agree that youve got to
let farmers live on the land
- its a real tough one, theres
always going to be that
friction.
Sullivan and Woodlands
Ward Councillor Pat Toohey
both spoke in favour of the
permit.
This proposal meets common sense use on agriculturally farmed land. This
is prime agricultural land

and requires intense farming activities and needs to
have a house. With newborn
calves and lambs you cannot live 50 kilometres away,
you must have a responsibility for the animals. It would
be different if you have 200
acres with a house on land
that couldnt run a rabbit,
it would not matter if you
lived 200 miles away. This
land already had a house on
it, historically, proving that
home over generations has
seen productive farming. He
has said yes, he wants to put
a house on it. This man is
born and bred on this land,
Cr Toohey said.
Mayor Paul Tatchell said it
is not councils role to second-guess the application or
the applicant.
We could make planning
decisions for the wrong reasons. We are not in a position
to judge who the person is or
why they do it. This should
be purely based on the application. The applicant should
not have to justify his personal issues. We judge on its
merits, he said.
The motion to grant the permit was carried 6:1.

A Maddingley resident who

pushed his partner into the

has pleaded guilty in the
Bacchus Marsh Magistrates
Court on Friday.
On September 21 of last
year, the partner of the accused rang triple-0 from a
North Melbourne 7-Eleven
store stating that she feared
for the safety of herself and
her four-year-old son.
At approximately 5:15am,
the victim entered her partners vehicle, with her fouryear-old son present, and
was instantly pushed into
the side of the door, before
having her head forced into
the console of the vehicle
by her shirt collar, the court
heard.
The police arrived at the
scene shortly after the triple-0 call, where they found
the accused in an aggravated
manner, however he made
full omissions to the assault,
stating that he was frustrated because it was almost

like she [his partner] wasnt
listening.

Taking safe
steps toward
family violence
DOMESTIC violence is on
the rise across Victoria, and
Moorabool is no exception.
Bacchus Marsh Police family violence liaison officer,
Sergeant Glenn Saw, said
family violence was on the
increase statewide, with
14 family violence related
deaths in Victoria already
this year.
Family violence is a big
priority force-wide, Sgt Saw
said.
We have a statewide recidivist strategy. We monitor
family violence situations
and when some people have
a number of involvements
with (police) we step in with
a proactive approach and
work in with other agencies
to make sure they get the
support they need. Its more
of a prevention strategy and
its a statewide strategy.
Where it wasnt being reported in the past, it is now.
Its allowing people who
have never had a voice to
come forward and speak to
police and other agencies
to get the assistance they
need.
Sgt Saw said from March
2014 to the end of February
2015 there were 613 family violence reports in the
Moorabool Police Service
Area (PSA). Of those 613, police have actively sought intervention orders on behalf
of domestic violence victims
on 205 occasions.
We have deemed it necessary to apply for intervention orders on their behalf,

he said.
Of those 613 reports, police
were called out to 263 family violence cases in Bacchus
Marsh and sought 104 intervention orders, and they
attended 70 family violence
incidents in Ballan, with 16
intervention orders sought.
We give referrals to both
Berry Street (Women at Risk
referral centre) and Mens
Health, Sgt Saw said.
We have to go through a
family violence code of practice which dictates what we
have to do. We attend court
and monitor intervention
orders.
We have a few things on
the go, and the recidivist (repeat offender) strategy is one
of those.
Victorias premier Daniel
Andrews has sent a strong
message to perpetrators of
family violence that it wont
be tolerated, with the establishment of Australias first
royal commission into family violence.
Mr Andrews petitioned the
Governor of Victoria for the
royal commission at the end
of February.
The biggest law and order
issue in our state is unfolding in our homes, Mr Andrews said.
We need a system that protects the vulnerable, pun-
ishes the guilty and saves

lives. The Royal Commission
will give us the answers we
need and nothing will be off
limits.
Member for Melton Don
Nardella welcomed the establishment of a royal commission into family violence.
The Andrews Labor Government has provided $40
million for the royal commission. Of this, $36 million will
go towards the operation of
the royal commission and $4
million will be provided as
an initial investment for support services that experience
an increase in demand during the Royal Commission,
Mr Nardella said.
Family violence is the most
pervasive and common form
of violence against women
in Victoria. It is the leading
cause of death and disability
in women under 45.
In 2013, there were 44 family violence related deaths
across the state and more
than 65,000 family incidents
reported to police a third of
all police work.
If you or someone you care
about is living with an abusive partner or family member call local police, Safe
Steps (formerly Womens
Domestic Violence Crisis
Service of Victoria) for confidential support and information on 1800 015 188, or
the Berry Street safety out of
hours service on 5331 3558.
Spartan race opens doors

By Jessica Howard
Myrniong got down and
dirty on Saturday (March 7)
as over 3000 people took part
in the Melbourne leg of the
Australia-wide Spartan race
series.
YMCA Lake Dewar Lodge
was converted into a muddy
battlefield that saw participants test their physical and
mental limits in a 14-kilometre race consisting of 25 different obstacles.
Spartan Race is an opportunity for people to get
healthy and active through
a sequence of physical challenges, with participants
scaling walls, swimming
through dams and crawling
through mud before cross-
ing the finishing line.

There were 13 staff members
from Lake Dewar Lodge that
participated in the obstacle
course, and younger athletes were able to compete
in a modified 1-2km Spartan
Junior Race.
Bacchus Marsh resident,
Rielly Walsh said that being
part of the camps team was
what motivated her to finish
the race.
It got really difficult - especially at the end, but having the team cheer you on
helped so much. It was what
kept me going the whole
time, she said.
Im so glad I did it. It was
the first time Id ever heard
of Spartan Racing and now
I am planning to do another
obstacle race in two weeks, I

loved it.
Proceeds from the race were
donated to YMCA Open
Doors, which gives socially
disadvantaged
students
the opportunity to attend
camp at YMCA Lake Dewar
Lodge.
YMCA Lake Dewar Lodge
manager, Greg Mason said
the money raised was really
important, as it would go a
long way in ensuring everyone was able to attend camp
regardless of their financial
circumstances.
Its just wonderful, he
said.

HELLO
DISNEY
Great family holidays

last a lifetime.
They are the moments you look back on fondly as an adult,
relive over and over through anecdotes at the dinner table
and the photos you frame simply because the memory
brings a smile. Traveling with kids is big business and the
last decade has seen an unprecedented choice of kids clubs,
camping safaris and village homestays emerge all over the
globe, catering for all types of family holidays.
One place that delivers a real dose of
magic is Montaa Mgica Lodge in South
America. It offers a relaxed retreat
with plenty of activities to keep the
kids entertained with the added bonus
that the location, architecture and
educational opportunities make a stay
here a real adventure. Guaranteed to
bring out the big kid in all of us.
Montaa Mgica Lodge is inside the
UNESCO listed National Heritage
Reserve of Huilo in Chile and offers
an array of experiences not only in the
surrounding 120 000 hectares of Andian
forest, but in exploring the complex
itself. Mum and Dad can unwind in the
huge tree trunk hot tubs perched on a
deck overlooking the forest, the kids
can explore the playroom whilst learning
about the local ecosystem and the entire
family can enjoy a round of mini golf on
the course carved into the jungle. The
activities on offer vary depending on the
time of year and include the longest zip
line in South America as well as a wealth
of adventures in the great outdoors such
as horse-back riding, rafting and hiking.
The real showstopper however, is when

you arrive at the hotel and walk across
the rope bridge into the lobby. Built by
local craftsmen to mirror the small woodbased mountain villages of Puerto Fuy
Neltume, the lodge is made from organic
materials. Crystal clear water sprouts
from the volcano-like structure, which is
covered in moss to blend into the jungle
backdrop. The boundaries between the
hotel and the forest are often blurred
right down to the rooms that are named
after local bird species. Montaa Mgica
feels alive and yet offers all the creature
comforts you expect at a world class
resort with a pool, bar, restaurant and
chill out zones interspersed throughout.
Chile can satisfy all your family needs
the beautiful coastline with sandy
beaches, scorched dessert landscapes,
fertile lakes and the Patagonia wilderness
known for its enormous glaciers. Santiago
the cosmopolitan capital is a shopping
haven as well as being the gateway to
the vineyards of Casablanca. Take a step
away from the ordinary and book a family
holiday to remember today.

Dear Editor,
Hello? Hello? Its 2015 so
where is the great Halletts
Way by-pass? It should be
operational by now considering I started writing
logical letters to this paper
in 2011 about the tree huggers up the wrong tree in
the Avenue of Honour. The
money was there then for
the work but now it appears
to have disappeared. Common sense was there back
then too five trees only
were to go and be replaced
by another 20 or so to remember men and women
from all later theatres of war.
The Avenue is a memorial
not a grave site. Anyway I
just read all of my letters to
the Editor about this issue
and am angry the silence
is deafening. I thought you
may like to read the end
of my last one: Woolpack
Road was the clear and logical answer to the problem
but, oh no, grand standing
by people who could not see
the forest for the trees won
over. Idiots: I give up!!
Find that money and start

needs you!

This was discussion that
should have occurred a decade ago. I told them my family dread visiting Bacchus
Marsh which is overcrowded; hard to find a parking
spot in, and packed to the
rafters.
Nobody can expect progress
to stand still, but there has
been a betrayal by Australian governments by bringing
in hundreds of thousands of
immigrants without a mandate. These newcomers have
to live somewhere.
Residents around Bacchus
Marsh, before this tsunami
of over-development, enjoyed the quiet amenity of
a small 1850s township. My

TOM
Environmental Opinion
- Andy
(Bacchus Marsh)
Andy
with Tom Kingston
The effects on earth as

the mercury rises
As I write this weeks

opinion piece the people
of Vanuatu face the terrible
consequences of Cyclone
Pam. While I am grateful
our countrys government
has responded so quickly
and generously I cannot
help but wonder about our
countries practice of exporting coal. President Lonsdale
of Vanuatu blamed climate
change for contributing
to the disaster, saying his
country had experienced
changing weather patterns,
rising seas and heavier-thanaverage rain.
Last week my wife and I
were fortunate to attend the
12th Australasian Permaculture Convergence with 180
or so people who were, in
one form or another, practising permaculture. It was an
inspiring week and I would
like to share some of my insights from the week in my

opinion piece next week. I
promised two weeks ago
that I would conclude the
writing on what effects we
can expect as the temperature of the Earth continues
to rise. I have so far covered
a one degree rise, a two degree rise, a three degree rise
and a four degree rise. While
governments are trying to
limit the temperature rise
to 2 degrees many scientists
are suggesting the outcome
could well be a 4 and above
degree rise.
Five Degrees: Again I am
indebted to Mark Lynas, Six
Degrees. Our Future on a
Hotter Planet (Harper Perennial London 2008). When
Mark Lynas goes into his
descriptions of a 5 degree
and then a 6 degree warmer
world the picture painted is

indeed bleak and the chapters are also briefer than the
previous four chapters. That
seems to be because there
is not much to describe and
storms and mass extinctions
can only be mentioned so
many times.
Mark Lynas based this
book on the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) 1.4 to 5.8 temperature range published in
its 2001 Third Assessment
Report so he has not chosen
figures out of thin air. These
are the figures the IPCC
takes as the possibilities of a
future planet. These are not
some wild guesses at what
may happen. Interestingly
enough though, as the thousands of computer models
work on more and more of
the data the lowest increase
does not alter but some of

the modelling has the upper possibility as a 11 degree
rise. Fortunately this upper
possibility is not a common
number but there it is and it
does offer pause for serious
thought and perhaps even
some serious action.
Firstly the 5 degree warmer
world is largely unrecognisable from the earth as we
know it. Rainforests have
disappeared in flames, most
coastal areas are under water and humans have receded into the few remaining
habitable living zones. Huge
floods pepper the planet and
the UK for example experiences almost yearly severe
winter flooding, and it is
one of the lucky countries.
In Australia the deserts have
spread throughout most of
the continent. Nearly 90%
of Californias winter mountain snow pack disappears

so food production grounds
to a halt as it does in large
parts of China and India,
to mention two of the more
populated countries. The
whole political issues faced
as nations and people seek
food and shelter is one that
will be faced in this 5 degree
warmer world. Also at this 5
degree stage the trigger for
another catastrophe is hit
and methane hydrates are
brought into play. There are
vast amounts of methane sitting under the oceans kept
in place by the cold waters.
As the ocean heats up these
hydrates may be set off and
this would be another trigger from which there would
be no return as they add yet
more greenhouse gasses in
vast quantities to an already
overheated planet. Again
this is a rather brief description of what is termed

PETM which stands for Palaeococene-Eocene Thermal
Maximum and is outlined in
great detail in Six Degrees.
Mark Lynas talks about the
impact of PETM as severe
enough to turn the Earth
into something approaching
Venus.
Six Degrees: too sad, but if
you are interested try Six
Degrees. Our Future on a
Hotter Planet.
Next week I will begin my
report on the 12th Australasian Permaculture Convergence in Penguin, Tasmania.

Enzo Raimondo
CEO, REIV
Have you ever gone to view
a house for sale and fallen
for it, even before you see
the whole home? Thats not
uncommon and illustrates
the importance of first
impressions.
That is why, when preparing to sell a home, it is crucial to spend time, effort and,
if the budget allows, money
on making the exterior as attractive and inviting as possible. It is known as kerb appeal and it is even more vital
than spending time and effort improving and styling
the interior for sale. After all,
no one is going to appreciate
your fabulous interior if they
dont go in the front door.
Take a tip from sales and
buyers agents, and walk
down the street to where
those looking to buy your
home would park. Take a
cold hard look at your house,
from the front and the back.
Imagine you have spotted
this house online and are
checking it out before contacting the agent or not.
Also do this at night, as
many buyers will, with the
outside lighting turned on.
What looks good and what
doesnt?
List the items needing
work: fence repairs and/or
painting, gate, path, garden,
The aim: a picture perfect

exterior, with arriving buyers saying, this looks nice.
Think hanging baskets
and flower boxes, neatly
trimmed hedges, weeded
gardens and a show of seasonal flowers. Add instant
colour before the photographs are taken. Remember
most buyers will form their
initial judgement based on
the online photographs. If
your house does not match
up to others in the area, they
will not view it.
Take down net curtains so
your home looks welcoming
and buyers can see inside.
Leave blinds or curtains
open at dusk and consider
some low-cost solar outdoor
lighting. Have paths and
tiles jet cleaned.
Rendering or re-cladding
can give an ugly facade
an instant lift, and a coat
of paint does wonders for
weatherboards. Remember
to hide the rubbish and recycling bins. And dont forget
the letterbox a new one or
a coat of paint can add to the
fresh look of your home.
As with the interior, buyers must be able to envisage

themselves living here. So
dont make it too personal
lose some of the brightly coloured garden ornaments, for
example nor too cluttered.
Many busy buyers favour
low maintenance.

Why More RAM is better
When it comes to improving the performance of your

computer, increasing the amount of RAM is possibly the
most effective way of boosting speed and handling power.

Your computer uses Random Access Memory (RAM) to

hold program code and process instructions that you
give your software when computing. When you turn your
computer off, RAM loses the data that was used during
the computing session. When you restart your computer
the data from the operating system and the programs
you start is once again loaded into the computers RAM.
(Although modern RAM still retains small portions of data
as either dynamic DRAM or static SDRAM.)

The more RAM the better performance. It pays to have

as much RAM as your computer can cope with. All
computers ship with a specified amount of RAM, and most
mother boards have extra capacity to install additional
RAM. Even new computers can take extra RAM

Nikita female
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Cross, 2.5 years of age,
Brindle/White. Nikita has
been with us for several
weeks now and she has
come a long way. She can
be a little shy at times,
although generally she is
super excited to meet and
greet us when we arrive at
the pound. She was
temporarily in foster and
her foster carer said she
was the most content dog,
being inside on her bed and
around human company.
She is well mannered, she
sits when asked and will
also shake hands. Due to
her shyness, its
recommended that she go
to a suitable home with no
young children.
Lost and
Found
It has been a good week at the pound,
With new homes for some animals been found.
There are still a few available for you,
Have a good look and see if one will do!

hence win the Cup for the

the fact that the 7 Avenue

it was primarily the lesser

The smart moneys on Triton

If only all commercial decisions were as easy as picking

the best value dual cab on the market.
Mitsubishi Triton has got that covered
and the competitors beaten hands
down. For only $29,990 drive away for
a Mitsubishi Triton GLX+ 4x4 Dual Cab
Ute powered by a high powered
diesel engine you would be excused
for thinking specication levels and
performance would be not as
impressive as the price but you
would be very wrong indeed.Not only
is the price enough to have a
Scotsman reaching for their wallet, but
dig a little deeper and the value
shining through is spectacular.
reinforced cabin protection, as well as

the latest ISO- FIX points for our most
precious packages.Conveniences such
as cruise control, Bluetooth and Easy
Select 4WD are teamed up with an
ideal ride height, side steps, alloy
wheels, and the best turning circle in
its class.
The Mitsubishi Triton 4x4 Dual Cab

GLX+ comes standard with the
following features:
Unlike many of its other competitors,

the Triton offers generous Head,
Shoulder and leg space to easily and
comfortably accommodate 5 adults in
an ergonomically designed airconditioned zone. In some Dual Cabs
you are packed in like sardines and
have to be a contortionist to get in or
buckle in children, its easy in a Triton.
All the safety you would expect in a

passenger car such as 6 airbags (dual
front, side and curtain), Stability
Control, ABS with EBD as well as
Its large capacity tub is double walled

and tough enough to handle its one
tonne payload and the Triton has an
ample 3 tonne braked capacity.
SAVINGS
ACROSS THE
ENTIRE
MITSUBISHI
RANGE
With 131kw@4000rpm and

400NM@2000rpm the Triton has the
power and the grunt to tackle any task
with ease.
Furthermore the Triton is reliable and
cheap to maintain. It is super
economical only sipping 8.1litres per
100km (ADR 81/02). It also unlike
some others only requires servicing
every 15,000kms or 12 months and
even then the service costs are capped
for the rst 4 years or 60,000km
whichever comes rst. Roadside
assistance is also standard during the
warranty period.
With an all new model recently
unveiled to the world and planned for
release in Australia in coming months,
now is the time to capitalise on the
value this current run out Triton offers.
The GLX+ with all the features listed
above is available from only $29,990

drive away for a ve speed manual or
$31,990 for GLX+ Automatic. Also as
a bonus and unlike many other brands
you do not need an ABN to secure this
pricing, No ABN No Worries, eet
pricing for all, but as it is on run-out
act quick to secure your colour and
transmission choice.
Tritons value proposition has not been
lost on the people in the Ballarat and
surrounding areas and therefore its no
surprise Triton for the last two years
been has been the number 1 seller
4x4 in the Market (Source VFacts
Ballarat PMA - December 2014). With
the current best value and price offers
going Triton is set to make it three in a
row as it will y out the door in 2015.
Kings Ballarat Mitsubishi would like to
thank Ballarat and District people for
keeping business local as they are

determined to never be beaten on
price or aftersales service. Keeping it
local means jobs, growth and new
investment for Ballarat.
So before you pay for your next
service or registration, put that hard
earned money back in your pocket
and get into Kings Cars and drive out
in a brand new Triton GLX+. With
recent interest rate reductions and the
specials on offer Kings Cars can tailor
a nance package to suit you for
probably less weekly repayments than
you are making now.
With the run-out in full swing thetime
is now to secure a valued packed
Triton for work, play or a bit of both,
you simply cant go wrong its the
smart commercial decision.
