Fire bug strikes

By Jessica Howard
A series of arson attacks has seen the
Ballan township fall victim to five
deliberately lit fires in just two weeks.
The grass
fires occurred along Gillespies
Lane, Ingliston Drive, Shaws Road and
Bences Lane.
One of the fires has been attributed
to the theft of copper wire from a live
electricity pole.
Ballan Police Stations Officer in Charge,
Sgt. Michael Kearnes said the fires
caused superficial damage to grass and
fences.
The potential for catastrophic fires,
however, is a very real threat, he said.
In all cases, the day was either a high
fire danger index rated day or a Total
Fire Ban day.
Sergeant Kearnes said the fires seemed
to have been lit between 10am and 4pm.
These fires are the subject of an
ongoing investigation, however I can
say that Ballan Police and their partners
at Moorabool CIU are satisfied that the
fires were deliberately lit based on a
number of factors.
A person of interest has been spoken
to, however enquiries are ongoing. We
are not fixated on any individual at this
time.
Sergeant Kearnes urged the Ballan
community to be vigilant and report any
suspicious vehicles or persons seen on
Total Fire Ban days, or a high fire danger
index days, to Crime Stoppers (1800 333
000) or to Ballan Police (5368 1303) or
Moorabool CIU (5366 7500).

Parish has a new Reverend.
Richard Litjens and his wife
Judy made the move from
Goolwa, in South Australia,
in early December, to take
up the post.
It was, of course, the busiest
time of year that Reverend
Richard could possibly have
found himself starting in the
position.
It was very challenging,
shifting house from one
lead-up of Christmas and
Christmas Day, he said.
With his predecessor
having retired the post,
Reverend Richard was able
to return from his eight-year
spell in South Australia and
be closer to his family.
I was wanting to come back
to the diocese of Melbourne,
because of family, both mine
and my wifes, around here,
so I made the application to
come back to Melbourne.
We always call ourselves
on the road a lot.
Settling into their new
home in Bacchus Marsh has
been going well.
I feel theres challenges
ahead, I think theres a lot
of opportunities and the
people are friendly; its a
warm community.
Reverend Richard has
outlined his vision for the
future of the parish.
To embrace a family
culture, and to be relevant
and to be involved in the

very community-oriented,

have a place in that broader

Drugs find out more
By Jessica Howard
Drug information forums will be
staged in the region next month
as the Moorabool Drug Action
Group (MDAG) targets young peo-
ple, families and local businesses
about substance use.
MDAG will host a series of infor-
mation sessions and workshops at
the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall and
the Bungaree Community Centre.
MDAG member and Leading Sen-
ior Constable, Jim Ross said the in-
formation sessions would be open
to the public, with topics including
ages and stages of development;
the young brain and substance
use; and available strategies and
support services.
Its about education and sound
information, he said.
The sessions will be run by the
Penington Institute, which is an
independent not-for-profit public
health agency that pairs substance
use research with practical action.
The free public forums are open
to anyone and will take place from
7pm to 9pm on Thursday, March
16 in Bacchus Marsh and Thurs-
day, March 23 in Bungaree.
Senior Constable Ross said Pen-
ington Institute would also deliver
workshops to local businesses and
staff in order to provide a better
understanding of substance abuse
and how to deal with drug effect-
ed people.

The workshops will focus on under the influence, these work-
drug trends; substance abuse and
their risk factors in the workplace;
and employer and employee re-
sponsibilities, he said.
Its about creating a healthier
work culture by providing active
learning, group activities and in-
formation. Its also a way to pro-
vide businesses, volunteers and
frontline staff with the treatment
options and services available.

The funding may have taken a
slightly bumpy road to the Ballan
Industrial Estate, but Haddon Drive

located $450,000 towards the estate
in 2015 for a project to upgrade the
area to provide economic develop-
ment, a project that was supposed
to be supplemented by the federal

But the feds didnt come through
with the money, so the question was
put to a council meeting about what
to do with the $450,000 still in the
bank from Regional Development
Victoria.
Given the NSRF outcome, discus-
sions have taken place with RDV
regarding the possibility of real-
locating the $450k to an alternative
project. RDV has advised the real-

Tears as accused slammed by magistrate

By Jessica Howard
An unlicensed driver who
crashed a motorcycle into a
Bacchus Marsh pedestrian
crossing after doing burn-
outs has been refused bail.
Max Dennison broke down
crying in court on Friday
(February 17) after Mag-
istrate Gregory Robinson
denied his bail application,
stating that the 20-year-old
accused was an unaccepta-
ble risk to the community.
Dennison is alleged to have
sped down the Main Street
of Bacchus Marsh on an
unregistered motorcycle at
around 6:15pm on January
31.
He was observed doing a
burn out for approximately
38-metres before losing con-
trol of the motorbike and
landing on the ground, tak-
ing a chunk of concrete out
of the Main Street pedestri-
an crossing, the court heard.
He then proceeded to get
back on the bike and do a
second burnout for over
60-metres.

Senior Constable, Yvette
Brown said there was a very
large people presence at the
time, with other vehicles be-
ing forced to stop in order to
avoid an accident.
he has no regard for
the police or the rules
and that is a concern.
He is an unacceptable
risk to the community
- Magistrate Robinson
Dennison was already on
two counts of bail for other
matters, including the al-
leged theft of a $500 chain-
saw from the Parwan Fire
Station, assault and various
driving offences.
In one matter, which oc-
curred on September 30 last
year, Dennison is alleged
to have followed a victim
to their residential street in
Melton and, armed with a
baseball bat, he demanded
money.
The victim, who did not
have any cash at the time,
ran inside the house before
Dennison proceeded to
smash the back of the vic-
tims vehicle with the bat.
On a separate occasion,
the accused was allegedly
observed fishtailing in a
vehicle before travelling past
the Bacchus Marsh Shell Ser-
vice Station at 70-80k/h in a
50k/h zone.
Leading Senior Constable
Brown said the incident oc-
curred at around 4pm on
August 10 and was within
the vicinity of a kindergar-
ten, skate park and shopping
centre in Bennett Street.
Brown told Magistrate
Robinson that Dennisons
bail application was heavily
opposed, stating that the ac-
cused had a total disregard
for the rules.
The offending has oc-
curred over a 12-or-so-
month period. His parents

His parents know of his
behaviour, but do not recog-
nise the problem. He doesnt
care, he gets in the car or
onto a bike and he drives
like a maniac.
He is not remorseful, he
has never made any admis-
sions and only appears to be
remorseful now that he is
in court. He will leave here
today and he will be driv-
ing tonight, putting people
at risk.
Dennisons mother, Rachel
took to the witness stand,
stating that she believed
her son deserved a second
chance.
Max can be a good kid, he
has a chance to prove him-

Court in action
By Steven Barnes
A man has been fined and
his license cancelled for
12-months after a bizarre
speeding case in the Bacchus
Marsh Magistrates Court.
Last year at around 5:15pm
on 4 October, Jeremiah
Debono was travelling to-
wards Melton on the West-
ern Highway when an un-
marked police car clocked
him travelling at a speed in
excess of 158kph.
Mr Debono who at that time
did not hold a valid license
said he was speeding in the
110kph zone due to a family
emergency.
It was alleged his son was
being attacked by his girl-
friend with a hammer in
Melton and Mr Debono did
not want police involved so
he decided to go there to
help cool down the situation.
The accused told the court
he had just got through a
separation from his partner
and could not afford to fit an
interlock to his car, this also
being his reason as to why
he didnt have his license.
Mr Debono had no prior
convictions and Magistrate
Gregory Robinson sympa-
thised with the situation
despite condemning his
actions.
Magistrate Robinson or-
dered that a $500 fine be
paid and that the license of
the accused be taken away
for a period of 12-months.

Results Round 16
Division 1 v Midlands Golf
It was Ben Goulds team that were
largely responsible for getting
Avenue over the line. In only
surrendering five of the 25 ends,
the team were able to record a
40-9 victory, despite dropping five shots on the penultimate
end. This very welcome result plus a three-shot win by Bill
Hawkens rink, enabled Avenue to cover losses on the other
two rinks and complete a much needed win.
With only two games to play, this win increases Avenues
lead over Midlands Golf to 24 shots.
Final score Avenue 94 def Midlands 83.
Division 2 v Smeaton
Three of the four Avenue rinks got off to a slow start and
never really recovered. The best performed Avenue rink
was that of Bob Delaney whose team went down by just
three shots, whilst Glenys Kays rink recovered from a 7-21
score line after 19 ends to ultimately lose by five shots. Dino
Borattos rink was within two shots with four ends to go but
Ryan Lister.
lost by nine. Joe Borattos rink got within three shots, but
faded over the last eight ends to go down by 16 shots.
Final score Avenue 76 lost Smeaton 109.
Division 5 v Daylesford
Stewart Wilsons rink led the charge with a hard fought
eight shot win, with Mike Roberts rink close behind with a
seven-shot win. Ray Humphreys rink completed the trifecta
with a one shot win, with Dave McKendricks rink managing
a draw, despite dropping four shots on the last two ends.
Final score Avenue 97 def Daylesford 81.
Division 7 v Creswick
Again for Avenue it was the rinks of club veterans Stan
Cumming and Don Lemin that helped Avenue in their game.
The Cumming rink won by 21 shots, whilst the Lemin rink
was equally as good with a 16-shot win. Oscar Mauffs rink
also did well recording a two shot win. Unfortunately, Mal
Smiths rink suffered a rare loss going down by 11 shots.
Taryn McMinn. Alex Lloyd. William Lalor. Final score Avenue 102 def Creswick 74.

With Darleys First XI
cricketers enjoying a bye in
the penultimate home-and-
away fixture, the Lions Sec-
ond XI enjoyed their time in
the spotlight, securing first-
innings points well inside
the first day of their two-day
clash with VRI Delacombe.
Only one VRI batsman,
opener Jarrod Burns, made
it past double figures as the
Lions produced their best
bowling performance of the
year to skittle VRI for just 64
inside 39 overs.
Mitch Wards impressive
season at Second XI level
continued, taking home the
best bowling figures of the
day with 3/15 off his six
overs, with the consistent
Ben Longhurst taking 2/13
off 11 overs, with six maid-
ens. Regular First XI play-
ers Brad Barnes (2/24) and
Hasitha Wickramasinghe
(1/1) helped contain the VRI
line-up, whilst Jamie McKer-
row conceded just one run
from his six overs, along
with a caught and bowled.
Darley then had the luxury
of 40 overs to bat, and have
ensured they take a lead into
the second day after finish-
ing on 6/109 at stumps.

Darley Cricket
Darleys Third XI will be
hoping for a big perfor-
mance from their bowlers
next week after they re-
corded just 9/120 against
Buninyong.
Despite looking good at
2/65, the Lions lower order
were skittled quite quickly,
even with Clint Salisbury
holding up an end in the
middle order to top score
with 26, losing their last six
wickets for just 30 runs be-
fore declaring late in the day
in the hopes of taking a Bun-
inyong scalp to end the day.
The Bunnies saw out their
two overs to sit on 0/3 at the
end of play, with all of their
runs coming from no-balls.
The news was much bet-
ter for the Lions Fourth XI
though, who continued their
push for a finals spot with a
victory over second-placed
Coronet City in their one-
day clash on Saturday.
The Lions were sent into
bat at the Darley Hub and
responded by notching an
impressive 5/230 off their 40
overs.
Once again the Lions top-
order produced, with open-
ers Tim Gallagher, who
made his fourth consecutive
half-century, and Darren
Hynes (27) combining for a
57 run opening partnership,
followed by Bryce Galeas
unbeaten 61 from first drop
and a superb cameo from
Brad Roberts, who cracked
eight fours and three sixes

before being run out for 57.
After opening bowler Rick
James struck twice early to
have Coronet City reeling
at 2/8, the opposition stead-
ied the ship, but kept losing
wickets at crucial moments
to fall 26 runs short, making
204 off their 40 overs.
Roberts also produced with
the ball in a relatively expen-
sive, but fruitful, three-over
stint that netted him 3/20,
with James Higgins taking
three wickets and Thomas
Gibbs one to go with James
early strikes.
Juniors
An unbeaten century in the
16 & Under Second XI by Joel
Cadman has given Darley
an unassailable buffer inside
the top four, after their fifth
consecutive victory.
After skittling Golden Point
for just 76 last week, the Li-
ons started day two on 1/51
with Cadman and Jordan
Monaghan at the crease, and
finished the day on 8/297.
Cadmans score of 102 came
off just 96 balls with 12
boundaries, his second ju-
nior century for Darley.
Cadman shared a 97 run
second wicket partnership
with Jordan Monaghan (46),
with Mitch Ward smacking
34 not out off just 16 balls late
in the innings.
The 14 & Under First XI suf-
fered a big loss at the hands
of Wendouree Red.
