Jockeys play polo

Racing Victorias Off the Track program
supports second careers for many
thoroughbred horses, and the steeds
showed off their new talent at Yaloak Polo
Club on Sunday.
A celebrity exhibition match saw the
horses ridden by jockeys and trainers
including Melbourne Cup winning hoops
Michelle Payne and Damien Oliver,
alongside Steven Arnold, Ciaron Maher,
Symon Wilde and Nick Bompas.
Oliver and Arnold had never played
polo before and were looking forward to
giving it a go. Both had been under the
watchful eye of Yaloak polo greats Greg
Keyte and Tomas Fernandez.
The match was umpired by television
celebrity Catriona Rowntree, who also
played in a polo match at Geelong on
Australia Day.
AFL Chief Executive Officer Gillon
McLachlan showed off his talent in the
saddle playing for Colliers International
White in the final of the Ballarat Polo
Club against the Off the Track team. In a
thrilling five chukka, fast paced, skillful
match, his side went down by two goals as
the siren sounded.
Its always a great family day out here
at Yaloak and I look forward to hopefully
playing and returning next year, Mr
McLachlan said.
Whether spectators were in a fully catered
marquee or an affordable $10 general
admission seat, they were all treated to a
spectacular display throughout the day;
and not just polo. Oaklands Hunt Club
had their hounds mingling with the crowd
and the Porsche Club of Victoria had a
cavalcade of vehicles around the field.
Yaloak Polo Club is situated just 15
minutes south of Ballan with club captain
Greg Keyte and his family also running
the on-site Yaloak Equestrian Centre.
Our club motto is warm and
welcoming, meaning we encourage the
local community to come and give the
sport a go, or at any of our matches you
can simply bring a picnic and take in the
thrill of a match, Mr Keyte said.
The Centre also provides lessons, ponies
for sale and agistment services.

Shooting range off target

By Kate Taylor
A proposed shooting range has
been rejected by Moorabool Shire
Council.
A Metro Practice Shooting
Range Incorporated application
to build the facility at Moretons
Road, Balliang East, was refused
by councillors at the February 1
council meeting.
The site is located adjacent to an
existing shooting range, and the
permit application arose after a
complaint was lodged with council
about clay shooting on the property
late last year.
The range was proposed to consist
of three fixed traps with 120
metres reclamation mound, two
shooting bunkers with dirt side
walls and 2
metre high bulker bag walls, and a
portable toilet; the bunkers would
have had
external lights to allow for
sundown shooting.
Six objections to the range were
received.
A report on the application
prepared by council officers
found that it does not comply
with local and state planning
policies, the farming zone, and
the environmental significance

POPPIES GALORE - The RSL Ladies Auxiliary with some of the poppies already knitted to make the wreaths that Tonia Dudzik (centre) is holding. Photo - Helen Tatchell

By Kate Taylor
Locals who can knit or crochet are being
called on to literally help make history.
3000 ANZAC poppies are required
for commemorations for the 100th year
anniversary of the end of WWI, to be
held in Bacchus Marsh in 2018.
The Bacchus Marsh Ladies Auxiliary
has so far made close to 200 poppies,
which will be used to make miniature
wreaths of 10 poppies each to place on
trees in the Avenue of Honour, which
have been dedicated to soldiers.
Member June Webb is among the
knitters busy using up large amounts of
red wool.
I can do about two a night, while Im
watching telly, Ms Webb said.
She added that the knitting group has
already grown from its original four
members.
It was just us, but we have a few others
knitting for us now, weve probably got
about a dozen.
The Great War Centenary Committee is
organising the commemorations, with
schools from the area being enlisted to
help place the wreaths on the nearly 300
dedicated trees.
It is planned that, as when the Avenue
itself was planted, a bugle will be
sounded and a service held.
Locals are being invited to help knit or
crochet the poppies, to help reach the
target of 3000.
The Anzac Centenary Poppy pattern
can be picked up from Bacchus Marsh
RSL from 9am on a weekday, Apple 98.5
FM Community Radio from 9am-12pm
on Thursdays, or from Tonia Dudzik,

Transparency becomes blurred
By Kate Taylor
Theres a new Code of Con-
duct in place for Moorabool
Shire councillors but it
wasnt a cut and dried issue.
A Special Meeting was held
to discuss the review of the
code, which ultimately was
adopted by councillors.
East Ward Councillor Jar-
rod Bingham put forward
two motions for amend-
ments one of which to pre-
vent councillors from mak-
ing unauthorised recordings
of other councillors.
The second proposed
amendment was to prevent
councillors using pseu-
donyms on social media
with the intent of bringing
council or councillors into
disrepute.
However, Crs Tonia Dudzik,
Pat Toohey, and Tom Sul-
livan rejected both amend-
ments; Crs Jarrod Bingham
and John Keogh voted in fa-
vour. Crs Dave Edwards and
Paul Tatchell were absent
from the meeting.
The only amendment that
passed was that of Wood-
lands Ward Councillor
Pat Toohey, who proposed
that councillors must be
informed by the Mayor if
action is taken to resolve a
dispute between councillors.
The amendment was in ad-
dition to a clause that states,

tionships arent present be-
tween councillors the mayor
will take action to remedy
the situation including re-
quiring councillors to attend
external mediation.
The Mayor will now be re-
quired to notify all council-
lors if the action is taken.
The worst thing is secrets
between seven councillors,
Cr Toohey told the meeting.
West Ward Councillor Tom
Sullivan told the Moorabool
News that the mediation
requirement and its amend-
ment are not as a result of a
specific conflict.
Its just a process put in
place in the case that there
is a breakdown, its just put-
ting that in place if theres
a need, its not saying that
there is a need, Cr Sullivan
said.
The meeting itself came un-
der fire from Cr Sullivan.
Why couldnt this have
been done after an Ordi-
nary meeting, why bring me
45km down the road for just
this meeting? Cr Sullivan
asked.
He pointed out that even
though the state govern-
ment made the discussion
of the code of conduct man-
datory at a special meeting,
the meeting could have been
held before or after another
council meeting saving
council and councillor re-
sources and time.
News
Bingham gagged by fellow councillors
When Jarrod Bingham was elected as an East Ward
Councillor, he promised to fight for greater transparency
in council.
Cr Bingham appeared to have lost round one of his fight
at last weeks Special meeting of council, however, with
three of his fellow councillors voting against his proposed
amendments to the councillors Code of Conduct, which
would have seen councillors made more accountable for
their behaviour both online and in recording interactions
with other councillors.
I was disappointed at the result that occurred at the
Special Meeting of council, a key point I made throughout
my entire election is that I will fight for a more transparent
and accountable council, thats what it was about, Cr
Bingham told the Moorabool News
Both of Cr Binghams motions were shot down.
Woodlands Ward Councillor Pat Toohey claimed that the
amendment against councillors making unauthorised
recordings of conversations with other councillors was
already covered by Common Law.
Again, Cr Toohey objected to the second amendment
claiming that the proposal, against councillors using
pseudonyms on social media, was already covered in the
code.
Why neither of these amendments made it to the
councillors Code of Conduct is beyond me, Cr Bingham
said.
We as councillors are representatives of the shire, we are
a public face for the area, and in doing so we should firstly
be held accountable to the Law and secondly be held
accountable to the councillors Code of Conduct.
To refuse my amendments to the Code is suggesting that
its okay and not interested if councillors partake in these
actions.
Cr Bingham also noted that he was not given the
opportunity to debate his amendment motions.
I am also concerned why I was never given the opportunity
to debate my case, its against local law meeting procedure.
The meeting was chaired by Cr Tonia Dudzik, as Deputy
Mayor, when Cr Toohey nominated her to take the chair
upon Mayor Dave Edwards absence from the meeting.
Councillors Pat Toohey, Tonia Dudzik, and Tom Sullivan
voted against Cr Binghams motions.
Cr John Keogh voted in favour of the motions; Cr Paul
Tatchell was absent from the meeting.

Bike hoon stays in jail
By Jessica Howard
The alleged young hoon who ripped through the Main
Street of Bacchus Marsh on a motorbike will remain in cus-
tody for another week.
Max Dennison appeared in the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates
Court on Friday February 10, charged with a number of of-
fences including driving a vehicle causing loss of traction
and reckless conduct endangering serious injury.
He also faces charges of burglary and assault for matters in
which he was already on bail for.
Dennison is alleged to have sped down the Main Street on
a Suzuki motorcycle before attempting to do a burn out and
losing control.
He was captured on film at around 6:15pm on January 31.
Dennisons defence lawyer indicated to the court on Friday
that his client would plead not guilty to the related charges.
He also stated that a bail application would be made how-
ever the police prosecutor said the application would be
opposed.
There is a lot of pending matters that are very similar to the
recent charges. He is already on bail for dangerous driving,
theft and assault with a baseball bat, the prosecutor said.
Dennison has been in custody since Friday, February 3.
Magistrate Gregory Robinson adjourned the matter to Feb-
ruary 17 for a committal mention.
All prior matters will also be heard on this day.

Court in action
By Steven Barnes
An egg-stremely bizarre turn of events
captured the courtrooms attention this
week, with Magistrate Gregory Robinson
offered eggs.
The case began two weeks ago when
Cameron Dawson was brought to court over
breaking an intervention order out against a
woman.
It was claimed Mr Dawson had been stalking
the victim across Bacchus Marsh and
allegedly inserting himself into situations
where he would run into the protected party
who drives a bus locally.
The case reappeared last Friday with
Magistrate Gregory Robinson condemning
Mr Dawsons behavior; at one stage
reprimanding him.
Stop talking over me Im not conducting
inquires for your defence!
After some discussion Mr Dawson
eventually pleaded guilty to the charges,
while maintaining it was a coincidence.
The 47-year old egg farmer who is self-
employed was fined $750 for breaching his
intervention order to which he blurted You
serious? Mr Dawson went onto explain that
he had no money to complete his current
home development.
The drama of the case came 20 minutes after
he was dismissed from court as he returned
and appeared to offer Magistrate Robinson a
carton of eggs before swiftly being overcome
and led out of the court by police.

Dollars help community

By Kate Taylor
The company operating the
Mt Mercer wind farm has
given $2000 towards a local
Moorabool project.
The Elaine Recreation
Reserve Committee ap-
proached the company ask-
ing for a donation toward
its $10,000 project to secure
a water supply for the CFA
brigade.
We just asked them, and
within less than a week they
came back and said heres
$2000 for that project, which
was pretty good of them,
said Reserve Committee
member Shane Dunne.
Weve got no town water
at Elaine, and we had fires
go through, so we wanted to
secure a bit more water.
Run-off from the newly
built tennis courts will be
pumped into and stored in
two tanks, ready for use in
an emergency.
With the tennis courts,
we never put them in for
that reason - but youve
got to make do out in the
bush, youve got to be a bit
ingenious.

education opportunities with
home schooling are limitless.
But regulations and guidelines
proposed by the state govern-
ment are set to impact home
schooling, potentially making it
inaccessible for the parents and
children who need it.
The regulations are vague, and
theyre being made to sound so
benign by Education Minister

are specific - but guidelines can
be changed any time and made
even more difficult, so were
very concerned that the regula-
tions themselves be specific to

have to wait 28 days to be reg-

authority may deny approval; the

will take longer than 28 days to
process if a re-application is re-

Member for Western Victoria Josh Morris shares the
home schoolers concerns about the proposed changes.
Having met with Ms Nicholson to discuss the issue,
Mr Morris said that the changes seem somewhat
under-handed.
Daniel Andrews has failed to consult with the thousands
of parents who choose to home school their children
before announcing these changes, Mr Morris said.
There was no prior indication that regulatory changes to
home schooling would be made, and the Government has
not been forthcoming with a reason for instituting these
changes.
He said that more concerning for parents and educators
is that the Andrews Labor Government has tried to
escape scrutiny by announcing these changes during the
Christmas school holidays.
The Liberal Party believes in a parents right to choose
the appropriate educational setting for their children,
which includes home schooling.

Dear Editor,
Each year on Australia Day,
Australians come together
to celebrate living and being
part of this nation, a mul-
ticultural nation, a nation
expanding and thriving on
accepting people of all dif-
ferent races, cultures and
backgrounds.
While multiculturalism de-
scribes the values and beliefs
we hold close, this term can
be divisive in nature. Mul-
ticulturalism recognises the
differences in background,
skin colour and lifestyle and
asks us to accept them.
Instead of multiculturalism,
a term which focuses on the
differences of our country
and our people, I implore
you to focus more on a com-
mon humanity. We all have
this, yet no one celebrates
what we have in common,
we instead focus on our
differences.
The key to acceptance and
harmony is both finding
similarities, and accepting
differences. Neither is more
important, and having one
without the other creates an
imbalance that grows into
disconnection with commu-
nity, feelings of being unwel-
come and isolation.
Our country is diverse, and
we should celebrate that. But
we should celebrate not just
the diversity of our friends,
family and neighbours, but
also celebrate and focus on
our common humanity.
Australia will continue to
develop, our people becom-
ing more diverse and our
cultures intertwining. It is
up to us to develop with it.
Father Chris Riley
CEO and Founder at Youth
Off The Streets
Dear Editor,
Australia is fortunate to
have a strong social security
safety net to support those
who are down on their luck.
It is one of the defining fea-
tures of our society.
However, it is a disappoint-
ing reality that some people
abuse the welfare system
and get payments they are
not entitled to. Others may
have inadvertently not prop-
erly reported to Centrelink
and consequently also re-
ceived an overpayment.
When this occurs, the tax-
payers who support the wel-
fare system are ripped off.
The Government is doing
everything it can to ensure
there is integrity in the wel-
fare system: that people get
the welfare payment they
are entitled to and no more
and no less.
Our main method for doing
this is to compare the income
that a person self-reported to
Centrelink with the income
that the Tax Office says they
received. When there is a
discrepancy, we ask the re-
cipient to explain it.
Given that people have typ-
ically received thousands of
dollars in welfare payments,
I think it is perfectly reason-
able that they take a bit of
time, check their records,
and explain if there is a
discrepancy. If they cannot
explain it, then they will re-
ceive a debt notice.
Hundreds of millions of
dollars has been recouped
for the taxpayer over many
years through this process.
It is a long-standing practice.
We are making improve-
ments to the system to make
it easier for people to explain
a discrepancy and give them
more opportunities to do so.
We want to make sure that
we have valid addresses.
In recent weeks, there have
been a lot of media stories
about people who say they
were unfairly targeted un-
der this system. No one is
sent an initial request-for-
information letter unless
there is a discrepancy that
has been identified between
the Centrelink self-reported
data and the Tax Office data.
We are identifying cases
every day where people
have failed to declare that
they had a job or under-
reported their earnings
from that job, and are con-
sequently getting thousands
of dollars more welfare than
they are entitled to, but the
Labor Party is calling for us
to stop asking these people
to explain.
If a person believes that
Centrelink got it wrong in
their calculations, they can
ask for a review and can
supply new information in
the process. Even after that,
they can then appeal to a tri-
bunal. All these options are
free.
People who owe a debt to
the Government can enter
into a repayment plan, which
can be as little as $5 per week
for present recipients.
We will continue to refine
the system, but ensuring
there is integrity in welfare
payments (which constitutes
a third of the federal budget)
is core business that will
continue.

for Human Services

you treasure, it may be found by the weekend.
SCORPIOOctober 23-November 21
Opt for a more realistic, less romantic approach to a
NUMBER GAME
family dilemma. Children are your best teachers this
week. Just listen to them - they may be more astute than
you realize.
ANSWER BELOW
SAGITTARIUSNovember 22-December 22
A business matter may demand a professional, not casual
approach. Guarantees and agreements should be in
writing. If you want to change someones mind, being
subtle is all important.
CAPRICORNDecember 23-January 20
This will be a good week to issue reminders to friends,
workmates and neighbours. Potentially rewarding
prospects could open up, but peruse all angles before
making a commitment. Romance is on the upswing.
AQUARIUSJanuary 21-February 19
Observation is all important and can pay dividends. Keep
aware of current news happenings and goings on in the
work environment. Your partner may be nearly ready to
make a commitment.
PISCESFebruary 20-March 20
A financial news brightener may arrive by the end of the
week, making surprise expenses easier to take. Your
creative ideas are novel and catch the attention of people
in high places.
BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK
Beneath a hard exterior lies a very tender person - and
one with a vivid imagination. Resourcefulness is the
operative word. You learn on the job and can make
significant career strides. One caution - watch that you
are not so easily flattered.

Darley Cricket
By Shaun Kelly
Seniors
Another unbeaten century
by opening batsman Lach-
lan Herring has placed Dar-
ley within striking distance
of a Ballarat Cricket Associa-
tion First XI finals berth with
two rounds remaining.
Herrings 103 not out al-
lowed Darley to chase down
North Ballarats score of
9/207 in their two-day match
this past weekend, with the
Lions passing Norths score
with five wickets down to
have them sitting in third
place on the BCA ladder,
twelve points clear of fifth-
placed Golden Point, and
with a guaranteed six points
coming up from next weeks
bye, the Lions are in a great
position to play a part in this
years finals series.
Herrings century came
from 205 balls with 13
boundaries, carrying his
bat throughout the innings
and featuring in a 94 run
fourth wicket stand with
club champion Matthew
Cape (48) and a 39 run fifth
wicket partnership with
Brad Barnes (19), which saw
Barnes dismissed once vic-
tory had been secured.
Darleys Second XI had a
big task ahead of them as
they set out to chase down
the 331 runs Golden Point
had posted against them last
week, and despite a gallant
lower-order batting effort,
the Lions fell 165 runs short,
dismissed for 166.
It didnt look like Darley
would even get that close
for a while, especially when
skipper Jamie McKerrow
was dismissed without scor-
ing to have the Lions teeter-
ing at 5/26, but some impres-

sive lower-order batting by
youngster Jordan Monaghan
(41), Brendan Densley (34),
Beau Jamieson (28) and Josh
Calvitto (16) saw the Lions
reach their score of 166 and,
importantly, take 73.1 overs
to do so, leaving no time for
Golden Point to send them
back in seeking outright
points.
Darleys Third XI had a
similarly scary chase to ap-
proach, with VRI Delacombe
scoring 325 last week and
having the Lions 1/5 at the
end of the first days play, but
in their finest performance
of the year, Darley passed
VRIs total late in the day
to win by four wickets and
bring up their second vic-
tory for the season.
Darleys Fourth XI remain
well and truly in the finals
hunt in their one-day com-
petition after an impressive
victory over ladder leaders
Ballarat Fire Brigade on Sat-
urday, winning by 24 runs.
Juniors
16 & Under v Golden Point
After the Pointies won the
toss and batted at the Darley
Hub, it took Darleys bowl-
ing attack just 31.1 overs to
skittle the opposition, bowl-
ing them out for 76 after they
were looking good on 1/51.
Mitch Ward was the main
destroyer, taking three
wickets for just four runs off
his four overs, with James
Hunt (2/10), Liam Cornford
(2/2 off three overs), Regan
King (1/5 off four overs) and
Aiden Cox (1/33) all snaring
wickets.
This left 11 overs for the Li-
ons to face at the end of the
day, and they came out with
bats blazing to sit on 1/64

The 14 & Under First XI
have some work to do next
week against Wendouree
Red, who batted first and
scored 5/130 off their 25
overs. Five different bowl-
ers took the wickets for
the Lions James Martin-
