PREPared for school

By Jessica Howard
Lunchboxes were packed and shoes were tied last week as the regions newest
preps set off on their first day of school. Over 550 students have enrolled into one
of Moorabools 17 primary schools, 20 less than the year before.
Balliang East Primary School welcomed 12 new preps, bringing the schools
total to 48 students the largest number in the schools 104-year history.
The school is also one of three primary schools in the district to have one or
more set of twins. Principal, Caryn Fox said it was great to see that the school
was attracting more people.
It shows that people are willing to bring their kids to a fantastic
rural school with a brilliant learning environment, she said.
I think we owe the influx of students to our 2016
program Be PREPared, which was a 10-week
transition program that took families on tours
of the school.
Following from that, weve seen over 40-students
on census day, which is the first time in history.
I hope that this year the students will enjoy
|hanging out with the extra kids and that we
can continue to grow into the future.
Bacchus Marsh Grammar welcomed the most
amount of students in the region, with 155 preps
enrolled for 2017.
Bacchus Marsh Primary School was close
behind with 132 new preps and Darley
Primary School with 87.
Schools with one or more set of
twins include Bacchus Marsh,
Balliang East and St Bernards
Primary Schools.

Train back on track
By Jessica Howard
The Bacchus Marsh Lions Club have
rebuilt the wooden train located
at Maddingley Park Adventure
Playground following a second arson
attack in just three years.
The wooden train, which is located in
the under five-year-old section of the
playground, was destroyed by vandals
in 2013 and again in December last year.
Bacchus Marsh Lions Club President,
Mark Robson said the club was
disappointed with the vandalism and
had volunteered their time to rebuild
the train.
Volunteer members of the club are
very supportive of the playground
that was built in 2002 with the help of
thousands of community members,
including the schools in the district,
he said.
The Maddingley Park Committee of
Management will now install CCTV
cameras around the park in order to
curb damage and graffiti.
Committee Chairman Russell Hendry
said the cost of maintaining the park had
been severely impacted by vandalism
and that action would be taken against
offenders when identified.
Celery $1.99 bunch
He said recent graffiti had also
appeared on the Maddingley Park
clubrooms, which resulted in
compensation being paid after the
vandal was apprehended.

SES, always on duty Living with diabetes
By Jessica Howard
A small donation could go
a long way this month when
volunteers take to the streets
for the annual State Emer-
gency Service doorknock
appeal.
The annual event is the
major fundraiser for the
Bacchus Marsh SES, which
is the only SES Unit within
Moorabool Shire.
The team of more than 50
volunteers respond to emer-
gencies such as road rescue;
flood and storm; search and
rescue; as well as assisting
ambulance, police and fire
crews on a regular basis.
Deputy Controller of Op-
erations, Bill Robson said the
unit received fantastic sup-
port from the residents of
Moorabool Shire each year.
The money raised from
our doorknock is spent pur-
chasing new equipment,
servicing equipment such
as chainsaws, generators
and vehicles, as well as pay-
ing every day running costs
such as phones, electricity
and fuel.
In recent years, the door-
knock appeal has assisted
Bacchus Marsh SES in par-
tially funding a new light
rescue truck, a 4WD support
vehicle and a fleet of search
and rescue motorcycles.
This couldnt have been
done without the support of
the residents of Moorabool
Shire, Mr Robson said.
In 2016, Bacchus Marsh SES
responded to more than
250 calls for assistance with
News
volunteers also committing
thousands of hours to train-
ing, conducting community
education and maintaining
the local headquarters and
fleet of vehicles.
As the Shires population
grows, so does the demand
for our services and the need
for our Unit to be prepared
for any emergency incident
we may face, Mr Robson
said.
Volunteers will be carry-
ing SES identification whilst
conducting the door knock.
Residents are also able to
leave donations at their col-
lection point at Arbee Real
Estate, 140 Main street Bac-
chus Marsh or send by mail

By Jessica Howard
Bacchus Marsh resident Ali-
sha Lane doesnt get a day
off from her type 1-diabetes.
The 15-year-old checks her
blood glucose up to eight
times a day and has four
daily injections.
Her mother, Toni, said Ali-
sha was first diagnosed back
in 2012.
She was quite unwell when
she was first diagnosed. It
was a very stressful time,
she said.
The autoimmune disease
has no cure, but that doesnt
stop Alisha from living her
life.
Court in action
By Steven Barnes
Minor crimes and drunken
mistakes were heard before
Magistrate Frank Jones in
the Bacchus Marsh court.
The first of these cases in-
volved Mark Loft when an
attempted robbery backfired
on September 10, 2016.
At around 4:30pm on the
said day Mr Loft allegedly
saw an opportunity and
stole his neighbors unat-
tended bluestone bricks,
reportedly with a value of
$100.
The court heard Loft pulled
up to the property with an
accomplice and jumped over
the fence, loaded the utility
vehicle with the bricks and
sped off.
A neighbor who witnessed
the event was able to take
a photo of the vehicle and
alerted the police who were
soon on scene.
Mr Loft was ordered to re-
turn the bricks to the owner
and to pay $500 to a char-
ity without conviction. The
charity was the McGrath
Foundation.
In a separate case Jarrod
Spear pleaded guilty to
charges relating to driving

She still finds time to go
to the gym, draw, read and
walk her dog Lexus.
Alisha and I are now start- a group where living with
ing to get to the stage where
we have worked out what
works best for her, Ms Lane
said.
Alisha recently returned
home from a five-day camp
hosted by Diabetes Vic-
toria on the Mornington
Peninsula.
She joined 50 peers in the
small town of Somers, where
they took part in a range of
activities including camping
outdoors, swimming with
dolphins and surfing.
Diabetes Victoria organises
whilst under the influence of
alcohol on November 26 last
year.
It was alleged police inter-
cepted the accused after do-
ing burnouts in Darley.

in his system.
A drug affected driver who
breached an intervention or-
der, after missing his daugh-
ter, was fined heavily in the
Bacchus Marsh Magistrates
Court.
The offences started on
January 15 last year after
Michael Shoulders sent his
ex-partner 50 texts and made
up to 70 phone calls to her
after an intervention order
had been made out to protect
herself and her daughter.
More calls and attempts to
contact the protected par-
ties by Shoulders continued
up until March 23 when he
attended their residence in
Darley.
Police were called and he
was arrested for break-
six camps each year in or-
der to offer an opportunity
for teenagers to be part of
type 1-diabetes is the norm.
Alisha was extremely ex-
cited to be with kids who
are going through similar
things to her, Ms Lane said.
We want Alisha to talk
to her peers and learn new
strategies to help her with all
aspects of her diabetes.

in partnership with the Roy-
al Childrens and Monash

Scheme.
ing his order, telling police
he didnt know he was
breaching the order by visit-
ing them.
In a separate incident the
accused was caught driving
in the Diggers Rest area at
96kph in a 60kph zone on
July 6 last year.
Police pulled the accused
over and tested him for il-
legal substances, with the
results showing he had
methamphetamines present
His defence claimed he only
breached his order to see his
daughter who he missed and
the intervention order has
now lapsed so he now is able
to see her.
It was also claimed he is no
longer using the drug ice,
has sought help for his ad-
diction and is currently liv-
ing with his parents who are
supporting him.
Magistrate Bob Kumar who
presided over the case said,
If not for your guilty plea
I would have put you on
a community corrections
order.
Shoulders was fined $2000
and suspended from driving
for six months.

Towie honoured in USA
By Jessica Howard
Pulling people from burn-
ing vehicles is nothing unu-
sual for Bacchus Marsh man
Trevor Oliver.
The local tow-truck driver
has acted heroically at the
scene of two separate car
crashes, one of which saw
him cut off a mans leg in or-
der to free him from a burn-
ing truck.
Mr Olivers rescue efforts
have seen him become
the first Australian to be
bestowed the prestigious
American Towman Medal,
which recognises the risks
faced by all towing profes-
sionals and honours those
who put their life on the line
to save anothers.
In April 2002, Mr Oliver at-
tended the scene of a single
vehicle collision, where a B-
double truck ran off the road
of the Western Highway, hit-
ting a tree and bursting into
flames.
The driver, whose legs were
trapped inside the vehicle,
was saved by Mr Oliver,
who, after freeing one leg,
said he pulled a knife from
his pocket and cut off the
mans leg at the knee in or-

der to pull him to safety.
There was really no alter-
native, he was going to burn
to death, Mr Oliver said.
Ive caught up with the
man on several occasions, he
has a prosthetic leg now but
he is still alive, so every day
to him would be a bonus.
News
You just do what youve
got to do. Id like to think
that if I was in the same situ-
ation, someone else would
do the same thing.
Six years later, Mr Oliver
was travelling on the Bac-
chus Marsh-Geelong Road
when a VW transporter lost
control and veered across
the highway, colliding with
a white panel van.
The transporter, which had
rolled over onto its roof, im-
mediately caught fire.
Mr Oliver cut the driver out
of his seatbelt and, with the
help of another man, freed
him and dragged him to
safety.
Mr Oliver travelled to
America in November last
year, where he was present-
ed with the American Tow-
man Medal at an award cer-
emony held at the Baltimore
Marriot Hotel in conjunction
with the American Towman
Exposition.
To be perfectly honest, I
first thought the whole thing
was a joke, he said.
We thought it was a bit of
a scam email, but then we
got a phone call about it and
I only had about two and a
half weeks to get over there.
They dont just hand the
awards out willy-nilly, there
were over 1000 people who
attended the ceremony and
only six people received a
bravery award.
Its also pretty good to be
the first person outside of
the US to receive the medal.

Taping in the
hands of CEO
By Kate Taylor
Members of the public or the media can now ask Moorabool
Shire Council CEO Rob Croxford for permission to record
council meetings.
Currently, its a resolution of council that decides whether or
not requests from media and members of the public to record
meetings are granted, with permission able to be revoked at
any stage during the meeting.
Council meetings held in the Ballan Council chambers have
been recorded in previous years, but no other meetings, as
the recording device was not portable; currently, council
does not record meetings.
A report tabled at the February 1 council meeting stated a
number of issues in recording and broadcasting meetings,
including defamation insurance for live streaming, the cost of
audio and video equipment, and access to candid comments
by councillors.
Benefits of recording include more transparency, and greater
accessibility for the public.
Councillors passed the motion clarifying that the CEO can
decide on the requests without a resolution from council
being required for each one.
Council will now investigate purchasing recording
equipment for meetings, with a report to be presented at a
future meeting including what form the recording will take
and if recordings will be made available to the public.
Of the 79 Victorian councils:
*43 audio record their meetings
*10 councils video record their meetings,
*10 councils live web stream their meetings
*16 councils release audio of their meetings on their websites
*11 councils release audio of their meetings for inspection
at their office
*9 c ouncils release video of their meetings on their
websites
*5 councils release video of their meetings at their offices

Gutless Government Running leads to Africa
treating people
with contempt
Search for land to replace Fiskville
By Kate Taylor
The state government and CFA have taken a
new tactic in finding land for a fire-training
centre in Moorabool placing an advert in
The Moorabool News.
After more than 12 months of searching
for a location to build the facility, CFA is
advertising for expressions of interest.
We are seeking further submissions from
interested land owners within the Ballan
area for the purchase of approximately 30
40 hectares (75 100 acres) of land, the
Public Notice reads.
There are, however, requirements the
land must be located south to south-east
of the township, must be accessible and
relatively flat, away from waterways and be
connectable to services.
Interested landowners have until 22
February to make their submissions.
But for Central Ward Councillor Paul
Tatchell, the call-out is a bit hollow.
Theyve had two years to source land, and
theyve been shown every square inch of
land that suits their requirements in my
view, I think that the Ballan people have
Help us plan prices, water and
sewer services for 2018-23
http://haveyoursay.westernwater.com.au
WesternWaterAU @WesternWater
News
been treated with absolute contempt. The
reality is, they could have used Fiskville land
that wasnt affected, Cr Tatchell said.
He said that he doesnt believe that CFA
wants to build a new centre near Ballan, but
rather, at Parwan or even outside the shire.
There was an enormous amount of pressure
in the beginning, with over 30 families
losing jobs, but people have short memories,
and thats how government operates.
I think theyre paying lip-service to the
Ballan people on the surface making every
effort to find the land - knowing full well that
the land that fits the criteria isnt available.
Cr Tatchell said that one site that was
identified as suitable was not bought
because the asking price was higher than the
assessment of the Valuer-General Victoria.
The site was overpriced, and the
government wasnt prepared to do
compulsory acquisition; they still would
have been paid 20 per cent above market
value and now, the land is for sale.
Thats the kind of rubbish we have to put
up with. The government was too gutless to
do compulsory acquisition.

Its not uncommon to see Anna Kelly run-
ning through the streets of Bacchus Marsh.
However, the 22-year-old will soon trade the
local pavement for a cross-country course in
East Africa.
Anna, a previous Bacchus Marsh Little
Athletics participant, has been selected to
compete in the 42nd World Cross Country
Championships in Kampala, Uganda.
She earned her guaranteed ticket on the
Australian team after winning the 10-kilo-
metre selection trial in Canberra on January
29.
The trial event, held at Stromlo Forest Park,
saw Anna finish with a time of 35:07-minutes.
It was really a big surprise, she said.
I definitely wasnt expecting to win. Going
into the race, me and my coach (Tim Crosby)
were really only aiming to get top six as that
would give me a chance to qualify.
It took a while for it to sink in that Id
crossed the line in first place... It also gives me
that secured position, which is good as Im
able to prepare myself, not just with training
but also mentally, as I dont have that stress
of whether or not I have qualified.
The IAAF World Cross Country Champion-
ships will be held on March 26.
Anna said that although she was nervous,
she was excited to travel overseas to compete.

Venue for events Lost and Found

in turmoil
By Kate Taylor
A blame game has erupted
over the Maddingley Park
Committee of Manage-
ments policies that Easter-
Fest organisers say are stop-
ping them from holding the
event at the facility this year.
At least one music festival
and one other community
event have also been forced
out of the park so far by the
committees policy.
Dotty Hazell, an organiser
of the popular annual event
that sees children hunt for
Easter eggs and the funds
raised donated to the Bac-
chus Marsh hospital, spoke
during public question time
at the February council
meeting.
She questioned the commit-
tees policy, which she says
has changed in many ways,
meaning that EasterFest can
no longer be held there.
The Moorabool News con-
tacted Committee member
Russ Hendry, who said the
policy has undergone some
changes and that Easter-
Fest is welcome, as long as
the requirements are met.
Ms Hazell said the areas
that EasterFest usually uses
are now out of bounds, be-
cause of water lines running
under the ground.
Its totally bedazzling, be-
cause basically all the sprin-
kler areas are the flat areas,
Siberia and where the lake
used to be, and we cant use
them.
Mr Hendry said the policy
changed because a water
line was hit by a peg during
last years EasterFest but
then admitted that at least
one other event had had the
same thing happen.
Others have punctured
them, and they dont come
to the park anymore.
Ms Hazell also pointed out
the policy states that cars
cannot stay at the park,
meaning that stallholders
must carry their goods to
and from the stalls from out-
side car parking areas that
would reduce the number of
parks for participants. More
than 40 stallholders requir-
ing parking.
Mr Hendry explained the
car policy.
They could bring them in
to set it up, but then theyll
have to take them away.
The Moorabool News
pointed out that the annual
Calleja Car Show is held at
the park, with many cars
being allowed to drive and
stay in the park areas, but Mr
Hendry said that is different
because it is a car show.
The fee structure also came
under fire it would cost
EasterFest $1100 to hold the
event, which Ms Hazell says
is a lot when tickets are just
$15 per person, and when
the proceeds are going to the
hospital.
Mr Hendry explained that
there would be a $750 fee for
hiring the facility but also
a $350 fee for cleaning the
toilets, with event organisers
not allowed to do the clean-
ing or toilet paper stocking
themselves.
The policy clearly states
they have to pay a bond,
$500 which is refundable
and the hospital pays that
anyway, they have to pay
for public liability insurance,
they have to pay the hire,
and they have to pay a toilet
cleaning fee - and if they do
that they can go in there.
Ms Hazell is awaiting a re-
sponse from council on the
issue, and the EasterFest
organisers are considering
holding the event at the Vil-
lage Green in the main street
as an alternate option for
2017.

Darley Cricket
By Shaun Kelly
Seniors
First XI v North Ballarat
Darley held North Ballarat
to 9/207, then off two overs at
the end of the day they sit on
0/7, with 201 runs required
for victory next Saturday.
Reigning club champion
Matt Cape and spinner Sa-
jitha Rupasinghe did the
damage with the ball, taking
four wickets each to cur-
tail the Roosters after they
started their innings well,
sitting on 3/127 before losing
their last six wickets for just
80 runs. Interestingly, the
Roosters, who need first-in-
nings points to have a hope
of playing finals, declared
late in the day so they could
have two overs at Darleys
top order, hoping to claim
a prized wicket, but Lachie
Herring (4) and Jake Wilkie
(2) saw off the two overs
with no damage, giving the
Lions all 10 wickets to use in
chasing down Norths total.
Second XI v Golden Point
At the close of play Golden
Point sit on 9/314, giving
the Lions a big day ahead of
them next week.
Josh Calvitto was Darleys
most successful bowler
with figures of 3/68, with
Ben Longhurst taking two
wickets and one each for Ja-
mie McKerrow, Ryan Dens-
ley, Mitch Ward and Beau
Jamieson.
Third XI v VRI Delacombe
After celebrating their first
win of the season last week-
end, Darley were brought
back to earth by VRI Dela-
combe this week, who the
Lions dismissed for 325 late
in the day after losing the
toss and being made to bowl
first, then were forced to bat
for four overs at the end of
the day and lost Craig Mc-
Donald to the last ball of the
day to sit on 1/5 at the end of
play.
McDonald (3/64) and cap-
tain Liam Jordan (4/57) led
the bowling attack, with
Corey Beaton expensive, but
crucial in breaking partner-
ships, with his 9/48 but with
three important wickets.
Fourth XI - bye.
Juniors
The Darley 16 & Under Li-
ons were sent in to bat by
opponents East Ballarat in
their one-day game, and
continued their impressive
recent form with the bat by
notching 2/196 off just 23
overs before their innings
was closed. Mitch Ward
brought up his second suc-
cessive junior half-century,
retiring on 51, with Jordan
Monaghan also retiring on
50, his first half-century of
the season. Bryce Galea (37)
and Joel Cadman (29) were
the two batsmen dismissed
after handy contributions,
with James Hunt and Liam
Cornford unbeaten at in-
nings end.
It was when the Lions took
to the field that the action
started, requiring just 13.1
overs to dismiss East Ballarat
for a team score of 18. No
Hawks batsmen scored in
double figures as the Lions
bowlers dominated, with
Tyler Cox taking 4/3 off four
overs, Miles Seager taking
3/11 off his four overs, Aiden
Cox conceding just one run
off three miserly overs and
James Hunt mopping up the
tail to finish with 3/2 off 2.1
overs.
The Lions 14 & Under First
XI side started the 2017 por-
tion of their season with a 70
run win over North Ballarat.
Batting first, the Lions made
3/172 off their 25 overs with
four batsmen, Ryan Densley
(32), Noah Simmons (31),
Hayden Nash (30) and Jay-
len Altay (32) all reaching
the compulsory retirement
score to set the innings up,
before holding North Bal-
larat to 4/102 off their 25
overs with Ben Taylor (1/9
off four overs), Austin Mac-
beth (1/13 off two overs) and
Jackson Smith (1/6 off two
overs) all taking wickets.
Darleys 14 & Under 2nd XI
also recorded a strong win,
defeating Golden Point by 56
runs.
Batting first, the Lions made
3/116 off their 25 overs,
with captain Brodie Ward
(33) and Jyson Fawcett (30)
reaching compulsory retire-
ment, with Rockey Hoey
(15), Ethan Thewma (10) and
Luke Hayward (10 not out)
all batting well in support.
Darleys bowlers then did
the job, restricting Golden
Point to 5/60 off their 25
overs and with 10 players
getting a bowl, the wicket
takers were Jet Fox (1/5 off
two overs), Logan Moffatt
(1/11 off four overs), Zane
Colley (1/7 off four overs)
and Max Hoey (1/10 off two
overs in his first game of 14
& Under cricket).
Darleys Under 12 sides
returned to action in the
Melton Junior Cricket As-
sociation on Friday night,
with the Darley Cubs (4/57
off their 20 overs) going
down to St Anthonys Gold
(2/86 off their 20 overs) in
their one-day game despite a
fantastic performance from
Mitchell Wells, who top-
scored for the Cubs with 11
retired, then took the only
two St Anthonys wickets to
finish with 2/3 off two overs.
