Charities shine brighter

By Jessica Howard
The Marsh Rodders have raised money for nine local
charities through their most successful swap meet to date.
The Show ‘n’ Shine and Swap Meet sees more than 200 stalls
and 900 hot rods, classic and muscle cars fill Maddingley
Park each October.
Now in its 13th year, the Marsh Rodders donate profits from
the event back into the community.
Club President, Shaun Colliver said the 2017 event was the
most successful year yet.
“We literally could not fit another vehicle in the park,” he
said.
“This event creates a huge buzz around the town and
brought in people from all over Victoria due to its extensive
promotion and support of our sponsors”.
At a charity event held on Friday February 23, Mr Colliver
presented $1,000 to nine local organisations, as a thank you
for their “ongoing help in the community”.
The successful recipients included Bacchus Marsh Uniting
Church Soul Food; Bacchus Marsh Scout and Guide Hall
Committee; Bacchus Marsh SES; Bacchus Marsh Lions
Club; Beat the Heat – Youth Motorsport Program; Bacchus
Marsh CFA; Darley Neighbourhood House; Apple FM; and
Mambourin Melton.
Coordinator of Soul Food, Jenny Kearney said she was very
grateful to receive such a generous donation.
“Soul Food provides a free community meal to anybody
from the community who wants to come along and share a
hot nutritious meal in a friendly atmosphere. This donation
will help fund the food and provide the service free of
charge,” she said.
“Another thing we do is sponsor young children so that they
can join in on sporting activities. As this is such a generous
amount, it will enable us to continue our sporting program
and help out children who were not otherwise able to take
part in sport”.
Darley Neighbourhood House manager, Renae Knight said
the funds will contribute to a glass top for a mosaic table
project.
“Upon completion this table will be a feature in the break
out area of the House for all to enjoy,” she said.
“Darley Neighbourhood House are incredibly grateful for
the donation received from the Marsh Rodders and were
delighted to be part of the community event where the
presentations were made”.

Got some
spare time?
By Jessica Howard
The Ballan Lionesses are seeking volunteers
to help man the colourful and quirky
Steptoes Op Shop.
The old house, located on Inglis Street
and decorated head to toe in mosaic, raises
money for local community charities and
events.
Lionness President, Fred Moore said more
volunteers were vital to keeping up with the
shop’s busy schedule.
“There is a constant flow of stock coming
in that keeps us very busy. Some of our
volunteers are getting older, with some in
their 80s, and unfortunately we just can’t
keep up,” she said.
“We are looking for volunteers who are
willing to offer as much time as they can,
whether it’s one hour or four hours.
“Anyone is welcome; however, we are
hoping for more volunteers aged over or
News
under 45, who may have less commitments
and are looking for companionship and a
place to provide community service”.
Steptoes Op Shop is open to the public on
Fridays and Saturdays, with sorting days
held on Monday, Friday, Saturday and some
Wednesdays.
Ms Moore said the op shop was a great way
to make new friends and have fun.
“We work as a team and we raise so much
money for local charities, it really does
give you a lot of joy to know that you’re
doing something so worthwhile for the
community,” she said.
“As a volunteer, you make so many new
friends, and not just with the other volunteers
but with customers too. Every day is a bit of
fun, mucking around and making jokes”.

Steptoes team, contact Fred Moore on 5368

the funding and take a tour

in late 2016.
Mr Howard said the fund-

State Government’s $200

frastructure Fund.
“The CSSD operates along-
side the Operating Theatre

“The Department will be
re-designed and upgraded
with new equipment which
will enable Djerriwarrh to
improve processing, stor-
age and distribution of ster-
ile goods and equipment
throughout its patient care
areas”.
Interim Chief Executive of
Djerriwarrh Health Servic-
es, Amanda Edwards said
the additional government
funding would go straight
into the CSSD roof.
“The funding will help us
with our air control. In ster-
ile stock areas, we need to
have the highest standards
of humidity and air flow
control to keep all of the
stock sterile,” she said.
“This funding comes at an
opportune time for Djer-
riwarrh Health Services as
we are currently in the pro-
cess of upgrading our Op-
erating Theatres at Bacchus
Marsh and Melton Regional
Hospitals.
“This funding will allow
us to seamlessly connect the
CSSD with the newly reno-
vated theatres, and ensure
efficient, effective sterilising
services across the health
service”.
Mr Howard said the fund-
ing is the largest of its kind
in Victorian history.
“The Regional Health Infra-
structure Fund is rebuilding
rural and regional health
services to ensure all Vic-
torians can access the high-
quality care and facilities
they need, no matter where
they live”.

Conmen on
the prowl;
beware
By Jessica Howard

Bogus tradesmen are targeting Bacchus Marsh properties

by offering dodgy
asphalt laying services at a discounted rate.
The posing tradesmen are believed to have approached
residents by cold calling their home and offering asphalt at a
price of $20 per square-metre.
Targeted residents told the Moorabool News that the men
spoke with an Irish accent and drove unsigned vehicles, with
New South Wales registration plates.
The men reportedly told residents they had left-over asphalt
after working on either a nearby road, or at Bacchus Marsh
Grammar. BAF President Kevin Harper (right) with Keely’s Cause recipient Amy, from Wallace. Photo – Helen Tatchell
Bacchus Marsh Grammar Principal, Andrew Neal said the
school has not employed any contractors to lay asphalt for a
period of around three-years.
“Whoever is selling their services along these lines certainly
haven’t done it with our imprimatur,” he said.

Court in action
By Helen Tatchell
A random vehicle intercept
at Maddingley by Victoria
Police, on 23 October 2017,
revealed the driver, David
Longden, had lost his licence
on points.
Longden said he had no
idea he had lost his license
as he had changed address.
He faced court on Friday 16
February with a charge of
Drive Whilst Authorisation
Suspended.
“Unfortunately, he had a
relaxed attitude to keeping
Vicroads up to date with ad-
dresses,” his defence told the
court.
“He has just started an ap-
prenticeship in Gisborne
and lives in Darley. The
downside of having a job is
he can pay a bigger fine.”
Magistrate Spillane told
Longden the government
now gives the courts more
discretion in these matters.
“It was compulsory for you
to go to jail after two driving
discretions,” he said.
“Looks like you have a
golden chance, up to you. I
am only going to impose a
fine, never thought I’d hear
myself say that, but what has
been put before me will see
me take that approach.”
Longden was convicted and
fined $750 plus statutory
costs of $81.10.

after a plea of guilty to the
charge of Theft from Shop

The court heard on 18 Au-

co-accused Michelle Conti
placed items in their trol-
ley. Several selected items
were placed in a blue bag as
they approached the cashier.
Michelle Conti paid for her
items as the accused was on
her mobile phone. The cash-
ier questioned the accused
about the Aldi items in the
bag with the accused saying,
“don’t be so f***ing rude, you
can see I am on the phone”.
The accused did not pay for
her items and left the store.
In court the accused had

actions.

told the accused.
Banjanin said he was going

“I have no income and I

The accused was fined $300

16 February.
Unrepresented, Arnol had

the day had not seen the

Magistrate Spillane ad-
journed the matter, with
charges of Unlawful Assault
and Intentionally Cause In-
jury to be heard on April 6.
“You are expected to be
ready by this date and work
out who is representing
you.”
Arnol said he tried to get
Legal Aid but they hang up
on him.
Magistrate Spillane asked
the accused if he was “ver-
bally abusive on the phone”.
“I went off; not my fault
mate. They haven’t got their
paperwork ready…”
The voice of the Magistrate
rose a couple of decibels as
he told the accused, “don’t

you want to go to jail.”
Arnol was escorted from
the court room by security
and police to appear again
in April.

Magistrate Spillane he “can-
not afford a conviction or
anything on police check so I
will be pleading Not Guilty”.
Without offering advice, the
Magistrate told the accused
Anthony Hodges, if it goes to
trial by a plea of Not Guilty,
you may get a conviction.
“These two offences come
toward the low end of the
scale, most likely a fine with-
out conviction, but if it goes
to trial probably a convic-
tion. This is a move by police
to charge. What do you want
to do?”
“Plead guilty,” Hodges said.
“Sensible thing,” the magis-
trate said.
The prosecution told the
court the two victims did
not suffer any injuries; one
was distressed and emo-
tional, the other upset, after
it was heard Hodges made a
threat to “smash both heads
in”, called one a “little bitch”
and slammed his fist into a
wall with intensified yelling.
“I will punch both of you
if you set foot in this house
again”, Hodges was alleged
to have yelled at his step-
daughter on 6 August 2017
around 9pm.
Hodges told the magis-
trate he had “no reason or
excuse.” “(Crying) I have
made peace; for 18-years I
have been there for her. Last
four years been tough but I
stayed around for her. She
(victim) has been bullying
people and my own daugh-
ter is scared of her. I got frus-
trated as a parent, trying to
put her on the straight and
narrow.”
Taking in to account his
guilty plea and preventing
an awful experience of the
two victims to give evidence
at a trial, if he gave a plea
of not guilty, Magistrate
Spillane recorded a non-con-
viction, $75 fine and Good
Behaviour until 15 August
2018, as “you have no priors
and this offending is lower
end of scale for assault.”

Cain Galea found out that
“running late for wife’s kid’s
birthday” was a costly one
when police measured his
speed at 160kph.
Magistrate Spillane told the
accused this is an extremely
unfortunate situation.
“My hands are tied by the
law set by Parliament. Really

Review of allowances under way

By Kate Taylor

The allowances of Moorabool Shire Councillors are up for review – and residents are being
asked to make submissions on how many dollars go into their pockets.
The review was supposed to have been conducted in June last year, within six months of the
previous general council election – however, that review was missed, and instead was put
before the recent February meeting.
The Councillor annual allowance is $24,730, and the Mayor annual allowance is $76,521.
Following recently announced changes by the state government’s Minister for Local
Government, there will be an additional payment of the equivalent of the superannuation
guarantee contribution paid to councillors and the mayor.
2018 Ball an Autumn Festival theme The allowance for Mayor and Councillors will also be adjusted accordingly with any increase,

as determined by Council as a result of the annual automatic adjustment announced by the
Minister for Local Government, and back paid to the effective date of the adjustment set out
on the Victoria Government Gazette.
A report will be brought back to the April council meeting, which will include any
submissions made to the allowances review, after which the allowances will be set and

T ea P arty remain in place, with the annual adjustments announced by the Minister, until the next
Council general election.
Submissions can now be made to council and will be accepted up until 4pm on Tuesday 13

The power of wind
By Jessica Howard
The 14-turbine wind farm located in Yaloak South is
complete, marking a key milestone in Moorabool’s renewable
energy boom.
Construction on Pacific Hydro’s Yaloak South site started in
late 2016, with the final turbine erected in February this year.
The turbines can produce enough electricity to power 15,700
homes and abate approximately 70,667 tonnes of greenhouse
gas pollution each year.
Pacific Hydro’s Senior Project Leader – Communications
and Engagement, Adam Chandler said following the
conclusion of major construction activities, site offices will be
dismantled and removed.
News
“The large crane is in the process of being removed from site
and off to its next job,” he said.
“A number of specialist technicians and other staff will
continue to work on site over the coming months as final
commissioning and testing works are completed.
“We would like to thank our project neighbours and the
local community for their patience during these works,
which have been completed on schedule.
“As we move toward final commissioning and handover
to our operations team, we are turning our attention to the
future”.
The 14-turbine farm is the first operational wind farm in
Moorabool.
Mr Chandler said preparations are now underway for the
Yaloak South Wind Farm Project
Completion of Major Construction
All 14 turbines are now assembled and
generating electricity.
With this milestone achieved, major
construction activities will conclude.
Technicians will continue to work on
site over the coming months as final
testing and commissioning occurs.
Thank you for your patience during
these works, which have been
completed on schedule.

applications set to open in July.
“This has been established to share the benefits of the project
with the community. $28,000 will be available each year over
the 25-year life of the project,” he said.
“Expressions of interest can still be submitted for our
Visual Screening Program. Individual residences located

Helping with the education journey
By Jessica Howard
Chelsea Bell set off on her
first day of university last
week.
The 18-year-old Bacchus
Marsh resident is study-
ing a Bachelor of Applied
Science and Masters
of Speech Pathology at
La Trobe University in
Melbourne.
Although a daunting ex-
perience, Chelsea’s intro-
duction to university has
been made much easier
thanks to the inaugural
Bacchus Marsh Commu-
nity Bank Scholarship.
The scholarship is part
of Bendigo and Adelaide
Bank’s Scholarship pro-
gram, which has invested
more than $6.5 million
into helping 568 students
realise their higher educa-
tion dreams.
Chelsea was presented a
$3,000 cheque by Bacchus
Marsh Community Bank
Chairman, Claire Suther-
land and Branch Manager,
Ian Prince on Wednesday
February 28.
“This money will help me
so much,” Chelsea said.
“I lost my father a couple

Manager, Ian Prince (left) with 18-year-old recipient Chelsea Bell. Photo Jessica Howard
of years ago and we be-
came a one income family.
This money will help to
pay for my text books and
set me up for university”.
Chelsea said she found
out about the inaugu-
ral scholarship program
through a careers coun-
cillor at Bacchus Marsh
Grammar.
“I was excited and also re-
ally relieved when I found
out that I was successful,”
she said.
“I had my first day at uni
yesterday, it’s a lot differ-
ent to high school but it’s
been fun so far”.
Bacchus Marsh Com-
munity Bank Chairman,
Claire Sutherland said the
Board also awarded a con-
tribution of funds to Bac-
chus Marsh resident Edan
May, to support her first
year of higher education.
“Our branch is proud of
these young people look-
ing to further their educa-
tion by attending Univer-
sity,” Ms Sutherland said.
“The calibre of applicants
we had for this year’s
scholarship proves that
our young people are an
absolute asset to Bacchus
Marsh.
“We are pleased that our
investment in Chelsea and
Edan’s further education
will help them focus on
their studies and help lay
a solid foundation for suc-
cess during their first year.
Edan attended Bacchus
Marsh College and will
be studying Bachelor of
Science (Wildlife and
Conservation Biology) at
Federation University in
Ballarat.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor
Well, February and summer has
come and gone and still our lo-
cal swimming pool had limited
use over this period, except, of
course, for the local ducks!
An indoor centre is needed in
our town all year round. This
would allow our schools, sport-
ing clubs, retirees, and the gener-
al public, access for our ever-ex-
panding community. Currently,
these groups are travelling (and
spending their money) outside
our town, mainly Melton. Why
should we have to travel, when
we have the opportunity and
space within our town, to do this.
(Its refreshing to note that the
local Horticultural Organisation
have fund raising activities striv-
ing to this outcome.)
Our pool is currently a liability
to us all, as it sits there, most of
the year, when it could be earn-
ing money and providing ser-
vices, instead of being the duck
pond.
So how about it…… let’s start
looking after our locals, with
‘home grown’ facilities.
Colin Bailey
Bacchus Marsh
Dear Editor,
Country jobs hang in the balance
because the Premier Daniel An-
drews refuses to support Victo-
ria’s kangaroo pet food industry.
The current trial ends in March
but, despite it proving outstand-
ing success, the Andrews Labor
Government remains silent as to
the industry’s future.
Daniel Andrews is trying to
get cosy with The Greens and
putting inner-city votes ahead
of common sense and jobs in re-
gional and rural Victoria.
A permanent program would
not change the requirement for
Authority to Control Wildlife
permits to be issued for any kan-
garoos used as pet food.
The former Liberal Nationals
government introduced the pro-
gram to make use of carcasses
that were otherwise being left to
rot in paddocks.
Instead, the trial turned this
waste into a high protein, popu-
lar and affordable pet food prod-
uct and at the same time created
jobs and business expansion in
regional Victoria.
If Daniel Andrews refuses to
make the program permanent
before the current trial ends in
March, country jobs will be lost,
and lawfully culled kangaroo
carcasses will once again be left
to waste.
Daniel Andrews must follow the
Liberal Nationals’ lead and stand
up for common sense and coun-
try jobs by making the kangaroo
pet food program permanent.
Peter Walsh
Leader of The Nationals
Shadow Minister for Agriculture

Ballan Cricket
Ballan 1 St X1
Ballan 9/176 lost Ballarat Redan 4/213
Batting - M Snaith 66, T Landt 40, J Fawcus 31
Bowling - H Micallef 8-3-2/21, Z Graham 11-5-1/25
Despite some good bowling Ballan struggled to get wickets
which was not helped by dropped catches. Unfortunately,
Ballarat Redan chased down Ballan’s score comfortably.
Despite this loss the team should be in the finals but depends
on a result from another game, in due course.
Ballan 2nd X1
Ballan 4/297 defeated Golden Point 7/292
Batting - T Trickey 207, M Currie 32, A Trickey 19, R Lindsey

Bowling - A McCarthy 4-0-2/15, T Trickey 8-0-2/43, J McEgan
7-0-1/68, M Currie 8-1-1/28
Golden Point won the toss and elected to bat, making 292.
Angus McCarthy was the best bowler picking up two
wickets. Ballan had a big chase on their hands but ended up
chasing the score down comfortably in 26 overs due to an
excellent innings by Tyler Trickey, making 207.

Ranieri 26, Jack Crowe 17 retired
Bowling - N Spratling 5-0-2/26, S Dehnert 10-0-1/46, B Leahy
4-0-1/32
Ballan had a big chase of runs against the top side, and
despite the boys reaching their highest score for the year,
Ballan fell well short. This is the boys’ last game for the
season and it was good to see some boys reach personal
milestones throughout the season with a majority getting a
taste of senior cricket when they played the odd game with
the seniors teams. This is also the last year in under 16s for
most boys and the club hopes they return next season and
continue developing their senior careers.

Bowling - J Horan 4.1-3-6/2, K Heafield 4-1-2/8, B Conroy
3-0-1/8
Ballan won against a very inexperienced team. Jonathan
Horan was a stand out with a couple of personal milestones
picking up six wickets for two runs, which also included a
Hat Trick. All Batsmen had valuable batting time and making
great scores. The boys finished third on the ladder and head
into the finals next week.
Under 13
Ballan 7/90 lost East Ballarat 3/176

Bowling - L Smits 4-0-1/10, J Black 3-1-1/29, E Muir 3-0-1/34
Ballan bowled first with their bowlers struggling on a narrow
pitch and short boundaries, East Ballarat put on a massive
total of 176. Ballan’s batsmen made a good attempt at chasing
the runs down but were unable to reach the target. Best
batsmen were Zeb Vincent and Lucas Smits. This is the last
game for the season and the club is pleased to see the team
improve throughout the year, with many reaching personal
milestones.

Darley Cricket Club
By Shaun Kelly
The Darley Cricket Club’s First XI have ended the Ballarat
Cricket Association home-and-away season with a win; but
have fallen short of making the finals.
Needing a win and a Mount Clear loss to scrape into post-
season action, the Lions held up their end of the bargain,
defeating Brown Hill by 54 runs, but Napoleons-Sebastopol
failed to make a dent in chasing Mount Clear’s 389 from the
week before, meaning that Darley finish the season in fifth
spot, one game outside of the top four.
Brown Hill started the day at 6/80, which Darley quickly
converted into 9/109 before Brown Hill batsmen Cam Inglis
(46) and Tom Bourke-Finn (12 not out) combined for a 29 run
tenth wicket partnership that all but put paid to Darley’s
hopes of an outright victory.
Ben Longhurst and Hayden Jamieson shared the last four
wickets, giving Longhurst figures of 4/35 and Jamieson 3/24
for the innings.
Darley then batted for 14 overs to see out the day, finishing
on 1/60 with Jamieson unbeaten on 32 and Anurudda
Rajapaksha making 22.
Darley’s Second XI are finals-bound though, finishing
second on the ladder after defeating East Ballarat by 107 runs
to book a semi-final appointment with Ballarat-Redan this
weekend.
East Ballarat started the day on 1/36 chasing 192, but wickets
fell regularly throughout the day as the Hawks lost 9/49 on
the second day’s play to be dismissed for 85.
Liam Jordan was the chief destroyer, finishing with 5/9
off his ten overs, including six maidens as the East Ballarat
batsmen had no answer. Dayle Locke and Ryan Densley
took two wickets each as the Lions Second XI look towards
next week, flying the flag for the club as its sole finals team.
Darley’s Third XI ended their season defeated on the
scoreboard, but not in spirit, after a fighting effort in
attempting to chase down Buninyong’s previous week total
of 236 fell 59 runs short.
Impressive youngster Lane Havelberg top scored for the
Lions with 35, with Hamish Wheeler (28), Daniel Hynes (27)
and Ryan Densley (24) all making starts.
Darley’s Fourth XI also ended their season in defeat, going
down to top side BFB by 37 runs on Saturday.
The Lions bowled first in their one-day encounter, holding
BFB to 9/192 with Steven Cornford and Aiden Cox anchoring
the bowling with four wickets each, before being held to 9/155
from their 40 overs, with in-form batsman Clint Salisbury
top-scoring with 41 and Cornford completing an impressive
day with a quick-fire 27 including two fours and two sixes.
Juniors
The Darley Lions Under 16s enter the Ballarat Cricket
Association finals series undefeated and in the hunt for back-
to-back flags after defeating Napoleons-Sebastopol by 111
runs to complete the home-and-away season on Saturday.
Having made 6/224 in the first week of the two-day game,
the Lions battled early with the Naps-Sebas openers putting
on a 73 run opening stand, but when Ryan Densley then
Regan King struck to remove both openers with the score
on 73, the rest of the Naps-Sebas batting line up crumbled,
losing their next eight wickets for just 40 runs as they were
dismissed for 113.
Densley, Jaylan Altay and Hayden Nash all took two wickets
each as every Darley player got a bowl in Naps-Sebas’ 36 over
innings.
Darley now plays Elaine in a semi-final at the Darley Civic
Hub this Saturday and Sunday, with play starting on both
mornings at 8:30am.
Darley’s 14 & Under side are also finals-bound, holding off
a determined East Ballarat on the weekend to win by 16 runs
and finish second on the ladder.
After starting their morning on 5/108 following last week’s
25 over batting spell, the Lions batted for 21 more overs,
moving their score to 9/168 with Will Johnson top-scoring
with 42 in an innings that included three fours and four
sixes, and Brodie Ward making 36.
In reply, East Ballarat made it to 8/146 before their allotted
overs ran out, with Brodie Ward taking two wickets and
a host of players taking one each as, like their 16 & Under
counterparts, all eleven Darley players bowled at least two
overs each.
The Lions now play Mount Clear in a two-day semi-final
at Brown Hill this weekend, with play starting at 8:30am on

Holden HSVs up for grabs
One of Australia’s leading automotive auctioneers, Manheim and Australia’s leading
performance car manufacturer, HSV are teaming up to auction off three highly sought after
vehicles. With two of the very last locally built models up for auction, as well as the company
press test pilot GTSR W1, the auction is set to draw massive interest from HSV fans and the
public alike.
After reintroducing the much-revered GTSR nameplate, as part of the final build of the
locally manufactured “Zeta” platform, this auction will make history as the ‘end of an era’
for local HSV manufacturing in Australia.
This auction is an exclusive chance for the public to have the opportunity to purchase some
motoring heritage, such as the last built GTSR Sedan and GTSR Maloo Ute as well as the jaw
dropping GTSR W1.
The exclusive GTSR and the GTSR Maloo sees a maximum power output of 435kW, making
these vehicles the most powerful LSA V8 engines HSV has ever offered. As for the GTSR W1,
with a maximum output of 474kW, this is the most powerful performance car ever built in
Australia.
Manheim was delighted to be entrusted by HSV to conduct and promote such a significant
auction. Manheim CEO, Charles Cumming said, “We are very excited and very proud to
be working with HSV to conduct such a special auction which will see these iconic vehicles
offered to the public. Clearly HSV has a proud and long history in the Australian automotive
industry so we want to make sure the public sale of these special vehicles generates the
interest HSV truly deserves.”
The HSV’s can be viewed on the morning of the auction from 9.00am onwards and prior to
that they can be viewed online on the Manheim website.
Interstate buyers can also participate in the auction using Manheim’s live action app -
‘Simulcast’ – which allows buyers to participate in the physical auction using their smart
phone, tablet device or PC.
The special event auction will be a chance to own a piece of Aussie history and it will take
place at Manheim’s Altona North site, on Saturday, March 17 starting at 2.00pm.
