LIONS ROAR
Darley’s First XI has won its inaugural BCA title
in unprecedented circumstances following the
cancellation of the weekends scheduled Grand
Final against Golden Point, due to ongoing concerns
surrounding the CONVID-19.
The Lions were announced BCA champions given their
superior position on the ladder. While it’s unfortunate
for the challenging Golden Point, acceptance of the
ruling handed down should be deemed ‘fair’ given the
Lions remained undefeated all season. For the record,
Lions Club President Rod Ward wrote to authorities
stating the Darley Cricket Club was strongly in favour
of the Grand Finals proceeding.

Appeal joy –
all charges dismissed
By Caitlin Bewley
(3rd Yr Swinburne Uni)
Apprehension filled the court room as
Anne Carr reached for her husband’s
hand while waiting for the verdict at
his County Court of Victoria appeal.
Then relief, he was a free man.
Judge Mark Gamble struck out the
intended two-day contested hearing
based on insufficient evidence, dismiss-
ing all charges against Daryl Carr.
Mrs Carr told the Moorabool News,
“we still have much ahead of us as we
rebuild our lives”.
“He is a much loved and respected
man who was suddenly accused of
sexually assaulting two students, after
teaching at the Bacchus Marsh College
for more than three decades.”
The former Bacchus Marsh College
teacher was originally found guilty
of five charges of sexual assault back
in 2018, the two-year process has now
resulted in all charges being dismissed
last Monday 16 March in Melbourne.
In 2018 Carr appeared in the Ballarat
Magistrate’s court January 25, where he
was accused of allegedly sexually as-
saulting two female students between
June 2016 and February 2017.
The victims accused their former
teacher of touching them indecently
whilst helping them with their school-
work during school hours.
“A little bit of me thinks he did it by
accident [touching her indecently], and
a little bit of me thinks it wasn’t an ac-
cident,” one of the victim’s told the Bal-
larat Magistrate’s court.
On this occasion, Carr didn’t enter a
formal plea and was bailed to appear
in the Ballarat Magistrate’s court on
19 February 2018, where Magistrate
John Murphy found him guilty of all
charges.
On the day of sentencing (15 March
2018), Carr entered a plea of not guilty
at Seymour Magistrate’s court however,
he received an 18-month community
corrections order with 250 hours of un-
paid community work. He was also
placed on the Victorian Sex Offenders
Registry for life.
Anne Carr is a teacher at the Bacchus
Marsh College and said she remained
teaching at the school “all along”, de-
spite the ripple effect of the accusations
spreading far and wide.
“This is why both of us are so grate-
ful for the on-going support and love
both of us have received from fam-
ily, friends, work colleagues as well as
students and parents from the Bacchus
Marsh College community, past and
present,” she said.
Confirmation from the County Court
of Victoria to the Moorabool News stat-
ed, “the charges are dismissed which
means the original sentence is void in- Daryl and Anne Carr are all smiles after Judge Mark Gamble
cluding any conditions, ie sex offender dismissed all the charges in the County Court of Victoria.

Mayor calls for a pause on

nt: Cross Roads Trading
e: 20/12/17
project decisions
By Kate Taylor
k Up No.: 3
There will be no sneaky decisions made
by the state government while people
are distracted by the coronavirus crisis if
Moorabool Mayor Dave Edwards has his
way.
He has called on the state government to hit
the pause button on making decisions on key
local projects.
With a State-of-Emergency declared for
Coronavirus, Cr Edwards says that decisions
and consultation on planned projects should
be put off because it is “impossible” for
proper public consultation to occur during
this time.
“It would be unfair for decisions to be
made without adequate input from the local
community,” Mayor Edwards said.
He said the affected projects would be the
toxic soil proposal for Bacchus Marsh; a
proposal to build high voltage transmission
lines across the Shire; and the proposed
amalgamation of Djerriwarrh Health
Services with Western Health.
Public consultation on the high voltage
transmission line was due to begin last week
and a decision to award the contract to store,
categorise and dispose of contaminated soil
is imminent.
“Given the State-of-Emergency declared
by Premier Daniel Andrews last week, the
Victorian Government and other decision-
makers should hit the pause button until
the situation allows for proper community
consultation to occur,” Cr Edwards said.
“The priority for our residents at this time
must be protecting the health and well-
being of themselves and their loved ones.
To ask them to also consider the impacts
of contaminated soil, giant transmission
towers and potential local job losses due to a
health merger, is expecting too much of our
community.”

Tiggerlong gets a jiggle on

Local greyhound trainer makes it consecutive Horsham Cups
By Peter Quilty
Young Mount Wallace greyhound trainer
Correy Grenfell, 26, celebrated back-
to-back Group 2 Locks Constructions
Horsham Cup (485m) wins last week
courtesy of Tiggerlong Tonk.
A dual Group 1 finalist, Tiggerlong Tonk
was quick to begin from box three and
took full advantage of a scrimmage on
the first turn to claim a $47,000 first prize.
The Horsham Cup Final, which
normally attracts up to 2000 people, was
run at a virtual empty Showgrounds
stadium after a ruling the general public
cannot attend greyhound race meetings
across Victoria thanks to the situation
with COVID-19.
Tiggerlong Tonk ($2.50F) defeated
Mepunga Pegasus ($28.00) by three
lengths, with Barcia Prince ($9.10) around
a further two and a half lengths away
third in 27.17sec.
He notched his 15th win from 28 starts
and, stretched his unbeaten streak
at Horsham to four wins. His stakes
spiralled to $146,795.
“It was a real pleasing run. He’s got a big
future,” Grenfell said.
Grenfell’s group racing giant Orson
Allen won last year’s Horsham Cup,
setting a new track record of 26.87sec,
before going on to be crowned the
Victorian Greyhound of the Year.
And it was Orson Allen’s racetrack feats
that allowed Grenfell to purchase a 51-
acre property at Mount Wallace (just over
30km from Bacchus Marsh).
An inspiration to the younger
generation, Grenfell has ‘done the hard
yards’ in the industry, with Orson Allen
and now Tiggerlong Tonk guaranteeing a
secure future for his family.
Only last month, Grenfell became a
proud father for the fourth time when
wife Samantha presented him with twin
girls – Ava and Gracie. The Grenfells also
have two young boys – Xavier, 6, and
Ollie, 2.
Ironically, Tiggerlong Tonk and Orson
Allen share a similar form line at
respective stages in their careers.
However, Grenfell rates Tiggerlong Tonk
slightly quicker over 450 metres, but
probably not as strong as Orson Allen.
Victorian greyhound racing will
continue in the foreseeable future –
albeit without crowds – however fans
can access free digital form guides
and watch every race live by going to

Pollies show ‘no Deal done

toxic soil’ support By Kate Taylor

By Kate Taylor
An initial vote against
dumping toxic soil in Bac-
chus Marsh has been held
by Victorian Members of
Parliament.
The Upper House passed
a motion last week stating
it opposes any decision by
the state government or its
agencies to dump toxic soil
from the West Gate Tunnel
Project, at the Maddingley
Brown Coal site.
The motion also noted
proper community consul-
tation and a full environ-
mental assessment has not
been undertaken by the
West Gate Tunnel Authority,
Transurban or other entities
associated with the project.
“The proposed dump site
is near the Bacchus Marsh
Grammar school and the
town centre, making it
inappropriate to foist the
transport and dumping of
the contaminated soil on
the community”, the motion
read.
Moorabool Mayor David
Edwards thanked the Vic-
torian Upper House for sup-
porting the Bacchus Marsh
community and, urged the
State Government not to ig-
nore the strong message be-
ing sent from elected Mem-
bers of Parliament.
“The support shown by
the Victorian Upper House
gives our community hope
that their concerns will now
be taken seriously by the
State Government,” Cr Ed-
wards said.
“Since late last year, Moora-
bool Shire Council has been
advocating for an open and
transparent process. It is
heartening to see that Up-
per House MPs understand
the importance of us hav-
ing access to information,
and not being left in the
dark,” he said.
Cr Edwards said it would
be very disappointing if the
State Government ignored
the message that “has been
sent to them from Moora-
bool Shire Council, Bacchus
Marsh residents – and now
the Upper House of the Vic-
torian Parliament.”
The MBC tender proposal
is still with Transurban,
however the states Planning
Minister Richard Wynne
can call-in the proposal at
any time to make a decision.
A new owner and provider have taken over the Ballan Childcare Centre.
The move has assured the future of local childcare, according to Ballan District Health and
Care.
BDH&C decided to sell the business as part of its plan to dig its way out of deep financial
woes.
The deal is for the sale of the childcare business only, not the land and buildings, which will
continue to be leased by the new childcare service owner – with some improvements on the
way. BDH&C do not own the land or buildings.
The service has been bought by Mrs Navjeet Kaur, Director of ANM Business Services.
“Mrs Kaur plans to renovate the outdoor area to improve this important play space for the
children,” said BDH&C CEO Rowena Clift.
“Any upgrade plans and associated timing will be communicated to Childcare Centre staff
and families, as appropriate.”
Ms Kaur has already signed the contract of sale and the process has begun to transfer owner-
ship away from BDH&C.
Ms Clift said the change in ownership allows the Centre to continue providing a successful
service to Ballan and the surrounding districts.
“Ballan District Health & Care will support clients, staff and the new owner throughout the
transition to ensure continuity of quality childcare services for the local community.”
The Moorabool News asked Mrs Kaur about her plans for the business.
“What I do is not a business to me, it’s a special calling that I knew I had from a very young
age,” she explained.
“This profession requires total dedication, devotion and a loving commitment. I am lucky
that I have this opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of children.
“My goal is to give better infrastructure and better learning spaces to the children. I will
soon share all are plans for the childcare centre.”
Mrs Kaur is highly educated, too – not only with a Master’s degree in science, biochemistry,
but also with a diploma of early childhood development and she is also starting a Bachelor
degree in education as well as having already worked in early learning as a teacher.
“I am a mother of two lovely children and I’ve always desired to work closely with children.
I am so excited and passionate about joining this lovely community. I cannot explain the
warm welcome I have received from the people here - that encourages me further to serve the
community and the children,” she said.
Ballan Childcare Centre is open every weekday from 6:30am to 6:00pm.

Don’t panic,
don’t panic!
Victorians that we will not run out of food….or toilet paper.
That is the simple reassurance message from the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF)
leadership and representatives in horticulture, livestock, dairy, grains, chicken, egg and pork
industries.
VFF President David Jochinke is urging Victorians not to panic about running out of food.
“We understand that there is panic and fear. Victorian farmers are well placed to meet the
demand. We feed you and we will continue to feed you,” he said.
“It’s timely that we reflect on the remarkable scale of food that we produce right here.
“We produce more than we consume. We are a nett exporter. At the moment, we are
experiencing an unrealistic urge in demand. That means, if Victorians continue to purchase
in bulk, it might take a few days to get things from paddock to plate.”
Mr Jochinke said undoubtedly, there will be some challenges going forward.
“We are keeping a close watch on workforce, labour and supply chain issues as well as the
reactions from our trading partners. The VFF continues to work closely with the federal and
state governments to map these issues, plan for them and address them.”
The COVID-19 may affect the movements of seasonal, casual and permanent workers and
that may have an impact on the ability of farms to secure much-needed workers.
“Agriculture has proven time and time again to be able to withstand many of the economic
shocks that often decimate other industries and we anticipate this pandemic will be no
different,” Mr Jochinke said.
“We applaud the stimulus packages, the work of the banks and corporate Australia. We are
in this together and we are working in close partnership with Government.
“We know these are unprecedented times. As always, we have got your back,” Mr Jochinke
said.
Victoria accounts for:
23 per cent of Australia’s total gross value of agriculture;
42 per cent of Australia’s sheep and lamb meat;
62 per cent of Australia’s milk and
32 per cent of Australia’s horticultural products.

Dear Editor, Dear Editor, Dear Editor,

Like many, we have watched the Maddingley Brown Coal
landfill issue with interest and concern.
In our case, recent experience with local agencies and the
EPA have shaken our confidence in the institutions that we
assumed would protect residents. We caution residents who
believe that council and the EPA have the power to enforce
public health standards to think again. In our experience,
once something has begun council and the EPA are impotent
to prevent or undo it.
Over a year ago residents in the vicinity of the Bacchus Marsh
Memorial Hospital raised concerns to Djerriwarrh Health
Services, the Council, and the EPA about noise emanating
from the newly constructed hospital expansion. Industrial
scale plant machinery intended to maintain sterility in
theatres was installed within 50m of residential rooflines.
Whilst residents welcomed the expansion, the noise of this
constantly running machinery has since emitted a keening,
modulating high frequency metallic whine audible 24 hrs a
day within nearby homes.
It took from February until August for the EPA to take
on-site measurements. Measurements taken in August
verified that the noise exceeded mandated EPA standards.
This was confirmed by subsequent readings in December,
determining that at times the noise exceeded permissible
standards by up to 12dBA.
Residents naively assumed that this evidence would be
sufficient to have the noise reduced. It has been instructive
that despite first determining the Hospital was in breach in
August and again proving the sound had actually worsened
by December, there has been no effective enforcement that
has led to noise reduction. After a year of contact with the
EPA, and seven months after the hospital was found in
breach of EPA standards it has achieved little more than
written warnings and ineffectual sanctions. It appears they
have little teeth as an enforcement agency and they are very,
very slow to move.
Throughout this, Council have been sympathetic but
unable to explain how planning permission was granted for
commercial scale plant machinery to be installed so close to
residences without acoustic insulation.
Of all parties, Djerriwarrh Health Services have proven
most disappointing. We wanted them to succeed, especially
in a time of such great concern about Public Health and with
discussions of a potential takeover by Western Health. This
is why we are so disappointed that after a year little has been
done to meaningfully reduce the noise. The paltry amounts
spent on minor screening works have been tokenistic and
ineffectual. Assurances given by hospital management over
a year ago to resolve this have been proven to be entirely
empty words by the consistent downplaying of EPA findings
and management’s faint condescension toward community
concerns.
In short, the agencies that ought to protect you are instead
so entrapped within their bureaucracy that they are
incapable of any meaningful enforcement of their own
standards. Prevention is better than cure. Once the soil starts
coming, it will be too late. And bring on the Western Health
management team.
On behalf of residents of Clarinda St, Gulline Cl,
Turner St, Kings St, and Queens St, Bacchus Marsh

Dispose unwanted medication safely

By Caitlin Bewley
(3rd Yr Swinburne Uni)
Safe disposal units for unwanted
medications have been used in pharmacies
for over 10 years, but according to a local
pharmacy, people are still disposing
medicine the wrong way.
The Return Unwanted Medicines (RUM)
service is used in local pharmacies to reduce
the contribution to contamination through
landfill and waterways.
Whether the medication has gone out-
of-date or people don’t use it anymore,
pharmacies are requesting the use of RUM
services to throw out their medication.
“Most pharmacies provide a RUM service,”
a spokesperson for Ballan UFS told The
Moorabool News. “This then takes the
[unwanted] medication to be medically
incinerated,”
Ballan UFS Pharmacist Manager Denise assisting Ballan local Sandra dispose of unwanted “The medicines are disposed of
medication the right way. confidentially. We discourage putting
medications into the rubbish or down toilets
where they end up in our waterways,” the
spokesperson said.
“Medicines put into rubbish may be accessed
by children or pets, and if flushed, as many
still do, end up in waterways affecting flora
and fauna.”
The pharmacy spokesperson said the
service is well utilised in the community but
unfortunately many people are still unaware
and dispose of expired or unwanted
medications inappropriately.
National President of the Pharmacy Guild
of Australia, George Tambassis, said the
RUM service is the safest way to dispose of
medications and is a service that should be
utilised by members of the community.
“This is a very important program and
one which community pharmacies have
embraced. I urge everyone to bring their
unwanted medicines into a pharmacy and
if they have any questions speak to their
pharmacist about them,” Mr. Tambassis said.

Triple treat for Gath

By Tim O’Connor

It was the Kate Gath show on Saturday night as the state’s top reinswoman scored
three memorable group race triumphs at Tabcorp Park Melton.
Gath guided the country’s premier trotter Tornado Valley to his 19th victory at
Victorian headquarters to bring up the winning three-peat which had earlier been set
up by Emma Stewart-trained pair Pacifico Dream and Demon Delight.
The success with Tornado Valley, which is trained by Gath’s husband at the pair’s
Long Forest base, was the horse’s 35th in a career spanning 95 starts.
The evergreen squaregaiter had to fight to win Saturday night’s Group 3 Economix
Scotch Notch Memorial (2240m, NR 80-120). He sat parked outside Maori Law for much
of the journey before getting the better of him in a battle down the home straight.

“He just does what he has to… he was holding him (Maori Law) a little bit better than
he normally has been lately,” Gath said.
“He just got the job done and he’s just been a great horse for us.”
Earlier, Gath partnered Pacifico Dream in his demolition of the Group 3 VHRC Victoria
Sires Classic (2240m, 3YO) field.
After leading from barrier one, Gath copped some pressure through the middle stages
but then let the Mach Three colt sprint home and score by close to 20m in a rate of 1:55.1.
The result followed a fourth placing in the NSW Derby and was the horse’s fifth win
from 10 career starts.
“I’m not surprised. I’ve loved this horse from when he was a two-year-old,” Gath said.
“He hasn’t drawn good in any of the big races and it’s probably stopped him winning
one. But he’s still on the way up and as we saw tonight, he just played with them.”
Gath made it a race-to-race double when she drove stablemate Demon Delight to a
head success in the Group 2 City of Melton Plate XXXI (2240m, 4&5YO).
After returning from a consistent but unsuccessful Sydney campaign - which included
a fourth placing in the Group 1 Chariots of Fire - Demon Delight was able to land his
first win since August last year in the $50,000 feature.
Gath took the horse from three back the running line to a spot outside the leader at the VHRC Victoria Sires Classic Winner: Pacifico Dream (3). Photo Stuart McCormick
bell and it proved a great move as the four-year-old then surged to the lead at the home
turn and held off a wall of chasing rivals. Clayton Tonkin’s Out To Play darted home
along the sprint lane to grab second.
“This horse has been knocking on the door to win a big race and he never gets the
draw. Tonight, it turned out a little bit better for him and he got the job done,” Gath
said.
“He’s such a quality horse but every start he goes around against the best horses of his
age group and every start he nearly doesn’t get a good draw. His record, as good as it
is, could probably be even better.”
Demon Delight has now won 11 of 25 starts for close to $200,000 in prizemoney.
The night’s other feature was the Group 3 Allied Express Jodie’s Babe (1720m, mares
NR 70-120) and it was taken out by Delightful Tara for Kialla trainer Isabel Walsh and
driver Josh Aiken.
The meeting kicked off on a sour note when top driver Kima Frenning was tipped out
of the sulky before the running of race one.
It’s understood she has sustained a broken wrist in the ugly fall and is set to be
sidelined for some time. City of Melton Plate Winner: Demon Delight (8). Photo Stuart McCormick

LIONS ROAR
Ward wrote (17/3); Noting that Victoria’s State of Emergency
required us to shut down mass gatherings of more than 500
people - we don’t see the cancellation of the Grand Finals’
as necessary, as I would expect the crowds to be well under
this figure.
Victorian Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton
also stated (17/3), “For the virus to spread, extended close
personal contact is at least 15 minutes face-to-face or more
than two hours in the same room.”
Again, 22 players playing cricket in front of a small crowd
in an extensive recreation reserve is not going to create an
environment of “extended close personal contact.”
We will respect and support any decision you ultimately
make, but we do implore you to let the Grand Finals proceed.
For a brief moment on the Wednesday (18/3) leading in, the
decision was overturned and it looked like a two day Grand
Final was on the cards before it was later confirmed that all
cricket, “after careful consideration” would be cancelled.
Ward acknowledged the flag would be more likely awarded
to them in the event of a cancellation but conceded “it wasn’t
our preferred way to win.”
In more positive news, let’s not forget the Lions have had the
season to remember - undefeated for the entire BCA season
and winners of the T-20 Waller & Chester Cup. See below the
list of Lions players used and the numbers that made them
2019/20 Champions.
