“They shall grow not old,

Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun

It is a clear message being expressed from Moorabool Mayor

A project of this size economic impact assessment, is extraordinary.
“A proper analysis of the benefits and disbenefits of the

to have undertaken no project should be undertaken before any decision is made and
must include an assessment of the millions of dollars likely
Cr Edwards said Moorabool Shire Council is calling on
the Victorian Government and Transurban to suspend all
economic impact assessment, to be lost to the local economy due largely to reputational

discussions on the use of the Maddingley Brown Coal site at
Bacchus Marsh during this difficult time.
“Should discussions recommence once the COVID-19 State
of Emergency is lifted, Moorabool Shire on behalf of the
communities of Bacchus Marsh and surrounds, requests that
a guarantee be given that six strict conditions are met prior
to the finalisation of any decision to store, categorise and
dispose of contaminated soil at Bacchus Marsh.”
Cr Edwards said these conditions will help protect the
democratic right of the citizens of Moorabool to have a say in
what happens to their community.
The conditions are:
1. All technical reports to be made available to Council,
for public scrutiny, comment and for the opportunity for
independent peer review.
2. There be proper stakeholder and community consultation
where stakeholders and the community are provided with
all relevant information and given the opportunity to ask
questions, seek further information and give their views; not
just information sessions.

- Mayor David Edwards
3. The existing MBC sites be brought into compliance with
current planning requirements.
4. Improved relationships with the local community and
stakeholders.
5. Details of how the local community will potentially be
impacted or will benefit from the proposal.
6. All Local Members of Parliament and Council are notified
prior to a decision being made.
“During these times where the ability of the community to
assemble is restricted it is more important than ever that the
needs of those impacted are not washed away to satisfy the
needs of big business.
“The community cannot have any confidence in the
decision-making process unless the conditions are met.
damage.
“It has been several months since Council first learnt of this
proposal and despite constantly requesting information and
seeking input to the process, we still have no information
on the technical assessments carried out, or about how the
Bacchus Marsh community will potentially be impacted,
or benefit from, becoming a dumping ground for tonnes of
contaminated soil.”
At this stage Moorabool Shire Council is still the planning
authority and Cr Edwards said his understanding is, the
normal process is it would still have to go through those
normal processes of Council.
“It could take a significant amount of time. It is not a quick
process.
“However, the Minister still does have the ability to call it in
and therefore, make a determination.”
Cr Edwards said they as a council just want to make sure that
any determination adequately addresses the community’s
concerns.

Sexual abuse – it is okay to speak up

April is Sexual Assault Awareness
Month.
Victoria Police Sexual Offences
and Child Abuse Investigation
Teams (SOCITs) are hosting the
annual campaign which aims to
raise awareness around sexual
assault and helping people speak
up, to help turn the tide on under
reporting.
Although commonly believed
that rape or sexual assaults are
committed by a stranger, a post
on the Moorabool Eyewatch
Facebook page said, “the large
majority of victims are abused
by someone they know – often in
familiar location like the victim’s
own home.”
Victoria Police Sexual Offences
and Child Abuse Investigation
Teams (SOCITs) are staffed by
experienced and qualified police
who are specially trained to
respond and investigate these
crimes.
Victoria Police are encouraging
people to report any incidences to
their local SOCIT – Ballarat 5336
6055.
For additional support services,
contact the Victorian Centres
Against Sexual Assault (CASA)
via www.casa.org.au.
If you need immediate police
attendance, always call Triple
Zero-000.
It is never too late to report sexual
offending.

Toxic weed causes liver
damage to livestock
By Dr Jeff Cave
District Veterinary Officer
Since the recent rain the
toxic plant heliotrope has
become abundant.
Heliotrope contains tox-
ins known as pyrrolizidine
alkaloids that damage the
liver.
Heliotrope is found par-
ticularly where there is bare
ground such as on the road-
sides, fallowed ground and
in stubbles.
Livestock tend to avoid eat-
ing heliotrope if other feed is
available since heliotrope is
relatively unpalatable.
While all animals are sus-
ceptible to heliotrope poi-
soning, sheep are primarily
affected since they are most
often grazed in the locations
where heliotrope is com-
monly found.
British breed and cross bred
sheep are more commonly
affected, more so than me-
rinos due to their different
grazing habits.
The toxin found in he-
liotrope alters the liver’s me-
tabolism for copper causing
the liver to hold abnormally

By Kate Taylor
For Moorabool residents, being locked-
down hasn’t meant being shut-out of council.
There have been a lot of changes in recent
weeks but overall, Moorabool Shire Council
CEO Derek Madden is proud of council’s
response to the covid-19 pandemic.
“Council is continuing to deliver services
across the shire with minimal disruption,”
Mr Madden told the Moorabool News.
“Overall the response of the community and
staff to the changes implemented has been
excellent and we are continually engaging
with the community of Moorabool although
in a slightly different manner.
“As the CEO I am proud of the response of
staff during this time.”
Mr Madden said that while challenging,
the environment council now operates in is
forcing the organisation to adapt quickly.
“The investment Council has made in the
past two years in our IT infrastructure, has
allowed Council to shift to a remote working
model for 80 per cent plus of our office based
staff. This has allowed Council to safely
practice the physical distancing guidelines
for the staff who prefer to attend the offices
of Council.”

COVID-19 UPDATE
The President and Speaker of the Victorian
Parliament have instructed Members of
Parliament to cease face-to-face contact,
including office visits, with constituents
until the Caronavirus pandemic subsides.
However, my office will remain open
to communication via phone and email
and we are still working to assist local
constituents.
Please do not hesitate to contact me

Dear Editor, Dear Editor,

Right now we are facing the most significant challenge and threat to our way of life since
the Second World War. The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live, and it will
change how we observe one of our nation’s most sacred days this year — Anzac Day.
There will be no marches, no parades and no gunfire breakfasts or games of two-up at your
local RSL, but Anzac Day has not been cancelled and we will continue to pause this year to
honour our servicemen and women.
Australians are at their best when we come together to support one another and while we
cannot physically gather to commemorate the service and sacrifice of our Defence personnel,
we can show them our respect.
Whether it’s a solitary driveway tribute, baking Anzac biscuits, a small ceremony with your
household, sharing a message for our service personnel, or watching the televised service
from the Australian War Memorial on the morning of 25 April, I encourage everyone to
pause, reflect and say a simple ‘thank you for your service’.
Teach your children about the importance of the day and the service of the original ANZACs
as well as the service of the almost two million Australians who have served over more than
a century.
Think of those who are currently serving, both in Australia and abroad.
And reflect on the more than 102,000 who have died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping
operations whose names are inscribed on the walls of the Australian War Memorial.
Anzac Day is now more important than ever and we will remember them.
Lest we forget.
The Hon Darren Chester MP
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel
Today we are all impacted by COVID-19. We must look out for each other, making sure our
neighbours and families are OK. We need to keep our children occupied and active during
their time at home. And we need to accept this challenge with a positive frame of mind. In
this time when we must stand apart we must, like in times of war, stand together more than
ever.
Of course my great concern is for the welfare of our veterans, particularly those like myself
who are getting-on in years. The cancellation of Anzac Day services and our traditional An-
zac Day marches in town and cities across the country is a blow to all Australians, but none
more so than to veterans. We will miss the comradery, the old mates we see rarely, and the
chance to share our pride with family and friends.
But life will and must go on. For veterans that means the work we do to look after each other
must continue. This is a time of year when the local chapters of our charities are normally
on your streets and in shopping centres with their badges and knick-knacks to raise funds
to look after veterans in their communities. Most local veteran charities decided not to fund-
raise in public, even before the latest social distancing measures. Our ageing volunteers are
at a higher risk from this virus.
But veterans are not a group to give up without a fight. We will push on and stay ready to
support our mates and families in need.
Times are tough for all and the charities supporting veterans are no exception. They need
your help. While we cannot go onto the streets this year, we can go online. I ask that you go
to www.DiggersTribute.com.au and see how we can keep the spirit of care for our veterans a
part of this Anzac Day.
These are trying times, but it is in Australia’s nature to stand tall and united in adversity.
That is the ANZAC spirit.
Keith Payne VC, AM, KSJ
Veterans Advocate

Following in her grandfather’s footsteps has
seen a young Ballan cyclist snag gold at a
Ballarat competition in March.
Shannon Craggill competed in the Victorian
Criterion Championships Saturday 14 March
at Victoria Park, reigning supreme in the
Women U17s class, at just 15-years of age.
The young cyclist described the win as a
“really good feeling” and said it was “really
good to get a state title in [her] hometown.”
Shannon told the Moorabool News her
cycling career began back when she was 12,
following her grandfather’s lead who also
used to ride bikes.
“I decided to give it a try [after watching her
grandfather as a cyclist] and started to really
love it,” Shannon said.
When asked what a typical week of training
looked like for Shannon, she told the
Moorabool News of her lengthy rides and
weight sessions in the gym.
“I probably do one to two strength days in
the gym and go for a bike ride from Ballan to
Ballarat a couple of times a week,” she said.

Number 1 on the podium.
The 70–80km return ride is a “cruisy” one
for the young rider, saying she does it to keep
her fitness up now that the racing season has
been cancelled.
“I just want to keep training and enjoying
the sport,” Shannon said. “I’d probably tell
aspiring cyclists to have fun with it. If you’re
not having fun, then stop.”

The Candyman put on a clinic at Tabcorp
Park Melton on Saturday night, with Greg
Sugars steering five of the eight winners,
including a masterful drive on Imperial
Whiz that was one for ages.
It was the fifth time in his 20-year career and
only the second time on an eight-race card
that Sugars has reached the mark, which has
only been achieved at Tabcorp Park Melton
by two other drivers – Chris Alford (three
times) and Mark Purdon (once).
“One of those nights when things just kept
going my way. Very pleased. It doesn’t always
work out that way,” Sugars said. “There’s no
way I thought I was coming home with five
tonight. Very happy.”
The Sugars show kicked off in race three
with Emma Stewart trained Two Times
Bettor reminding of her elite talent, bouncing
back from a difficult first-up showing by
sweeping three-wide and storming home in
the Allied Express Pace.
“If you put her first up run out of your mind
then she looked very well placed tonight and
it proved to be the case,” Sugars said. “She
put her best foot forward.”
And then came the Myrniong reinsman’s
shining moment in the Woodlands Stud
Trot, when he smoothly extricated Imperial
Whiz from his tricky pegs draw by slicing
through a gap and rounding the field to lead.
Sugars gained some separation on the final
turn and held off challenges from Fling
About and Scallywag Sam to win by a short
half-head.
“It worked out really well. I wanted to put
the horse into the race if possible and that
was the way it worked out,” Sugars said. “He
needed the breaks to go his way and got a
well-deserved win, very pleased for (trainer)
Danny (Mullan) and the team.”
Race six, the Alabar Pace, brought a far
more regulation performance with Egodan
sliding to the front after an early tussle with
mare Our Step Up and holding all at bay
in a 55.2-second last half over the middle
distance. That made it two from two for
Egodan since joining the Emma Stewart
stable.
Stewart and Sugars then combined for two
on the trot, with Freddy Funk winning the
next – the TAB Long May We Play Pace – in
a race ran upside down, with quick first and
second quarters suiting the backmarkers.
Freddy Funk had last crack at them and
took the honours by a half-head from Our
Sportscaster.
And it was a similar story in the last, the
Aldebaran Park Trot, where young stars I
Am Pegasus and Sammy Showdown biffed
it out in the early stages and when they tired
late, the grand mare Auntie Poppy kept on
keeping on to run away with a 14-metre win
from Ymbro Wasted.
“She doesn’t shirk an issue Poppy, she’s
pretty tough,” Sugars. “When she was
going to be out the back tonight we needed
a genuine run tempo. Knew the other two
didn’t have the race fitness on their side like
she did, so thought they would be vulnerable
if they went to war, which they sort of did.
Was very happy mid-race with the way
things were working out.”
Amid the Sugars domination in-form
reinsman Ryan Duffy still slid in to claim
two races – winning with The Dude for
Andy Gath and Bettor Be The Bomb for Basil
Dooley – while Rhys Nicholson gave a hearty
salute when he scored in the remaining race
for dad John with Its Back In The Day.
