New facility with

a pool of resources
BALLAN Hospitals $3.6 million primary care and

rehabilitation centre was opened on September 29.
In officially launching the new centre, Senator Michael
Ronaldson said the Ballan heaIth service belonged to the
community.
This project is one of those great Australian town success
stories. One thing we have here, and places like Melbourne,
Sydney and Perth dont have, is if we dont do it, no one else

is going to do it.
Lets not forget the community, you, raising over $900,000
towards the first stage, Mr Ronaldson said.
Board Chairperson (BDH&C) Lyn Gunnell acknowledged
past CEO Glenn Rowbotham who she said was instrumental
in starting this journey with the board.
The Board had bravery and tenacity to take these very big
steps to get all this done, she said.
The expansion to Ballans GP Super Clinic includes
additional consulting and treatment rooms, rehabilitation
facilities, a hydrotherapy pool, educational facilities and
space for additional staff.

Hotel Patron Wayne Hodge installs security cameras after a brawl allegedly saw women assaulted in the car park.

Intoxication
ignites violence
A BRAWL which allegedly

saw women pushed to the
ground and attacked took
place out the front of Hudsons Hotel in Ballan on AFL
Grand Final day.
Hotel patron Wayne Hodge
said the hotel licensee was
winding down after 10pm
on September 27 when a
highly intoxicated man entered the hotel.
She escorted him out and
the next second someone
told me she was on the
ground outside. I marched

out and five or six fights had
broken out by the time I got
there, Mr Hodge said.
There was a lot of bruising and blood and I saw one
hotel patron getting his head
stomped on. There wouldve
been 10 or more people up to
no good. They were drunk
and carrying a ten-pack and
trying to bring it into the
hotel.
He said the licensee was
simply exercising her right
to refuse entry to the drunk

and disorderly men.
Her 18-year-old daughter
came out and tried to help
her up and got hit in the
eye at least three times, Mr
Hodge said.
One of the problems was
there was no police in attendance in Ballan. Police
were called but it took them
30 to 40 minutes to get there
from Trentham and I think
Daylesford.
What I saw was disgusting. All she was doing was

trying to refuse them entry.
Do we live in Ballan, Victoria, or do we live in Iran or
Iraq?
He said hed received
threats since the incident
and the problem was still
there and still going on.
Trentham Police Sergeant
Gatt said the investigation
was ongoing and a number
of people were assisting police with their enquiries.

The recipients represented
a diverse range of vocations
including veterinary science,
agriculture, agronomy, and
philosophy and come from
the cattle, poultry, cropping
and wool sectors.
A fifth generation farmer,
Daniel grew up on an Angus
cattle stud in Springbank
and hopes to one day run

his own Angus cattle stud
in conjunction with another
career.
Ive been working with
Angus cattle all my life and
see a huge potential for them
to excel in the future. The

Ballan has moved to
stage, he said.
I reckon the only way to
succeed is to use the technology available. With the
urban sprawl its necessary
to become more efficient
with the land we have. New
technology aids in that
occurring.
He believed that a good
farmer was one who was
able to take advice when
given from people whove
been the industry for years
and a person who could incorporate new technologies
into proven good farming
practices.
Daniel was presented with
his award by Minister for
Agriculture, Peter Walsh, at
a ceremony last Thursday
night and said it was a fantastic honour to be selected
for the scholarship.
Speaking at the event Rural
Finance General Manager
Agribusiness and Victoria,
Andrew Smith, said the
program had benefits far beyond those of the immediate
recipient.
Australian
agriculture
exports approximately $30
billion worth of product
annually, and supports 1.6
million Australian jobs, Mr
Smith said.
With an industry as important as agriculture, it is
paramount that both the
public and private sector get
behind our emerging talent.
Were proud to actively
nurture the next generation
of leaders across all facets
of our industry, fostering
innovation and intellectual
capital so we can capitalise
on the opportunities that
beckon.
We look forward to following these students through
their studies and watch
these bright young people
create the future stories of
our industry.
Each scholar also becomes
a member of the Rural Finance Scholarship Alumni
which offers ongoing opportunities for mentoring and
networking.

Kinder facilities
enhanced
PLAY and learning has just

become easier for Ballan
and Wallace kindergartens
thanks to minor infrastructure and IT grants from the
State Government.
Ballan and District Kindergarten received $4200 to remodel and improve its sandpit and an additional $1500
for three iPads. Wallace and
District Kindergarten was
given $4378 for the supply
and installation of outdoor
play equipment and $1468
for a desktop computer.
Member for Western Victoria, Simon Ramsay, said
the grants would directly
benefit Ballan and Wallace
families and their children.
These are very important
grants that enable the kindergartens to work in the
most efficient and effective
way, Mr Ramsay said.
They provide not only the
latest technology to assist
staff, but the best play equipment and grounds to give

children every opportunity
possible.
The minor grants, worth up
to $10,000 each, will enhance
kindergarten programs by
improving disability access,
building better playgrounds,
installing sensory gardens,
building bigger playrooms
and maximising storage
space for centres.
The Information Technology grants worth up to $1500
each, will supply kindergartens across Victoria with
desktop computers, tablets,
laptops, printers and touch
tables to better support early
years teachers and staff.
Mr Ramsay said the grants
were crucial to ensuring Victorian early years services
could continue to deliver
world class learning programs for Victorian families.

Member for Western Victoria region
Simon Ramsay said the funding would

walking and cycling strategy.
The strategy provides a plan for how
walking and cycling in Ballan and
Bacchus Marsh should develop over the
long-term, Mr Ramsay said.
The Ballan project in particular will
complete footpaths and kerbing on the
corner of Duncan and Steiglitz Streets,
making it easier and safer for Ballan
Primary School students to walk or ride to
school.
Moorabool Shire mayor Paul Tatchell
welcomed the investment and partnership
with the Victorian Coalition Government.
Moorabool Shire Council has recently
completed its Hike & Bike Strategy which
provides direction for the planning of
the municipalitys walking and cycling
network, Cr Tatchell said.
This project will involve the delivery of
priority projects identified in the Strategy
on the bicycle network in the municipality.
This includes the construction of a
shared cycling and pedestrian path on
Halletts Way Darley, north of Holts Lane
in Bacchus Marsh, and new pathways and
kerb ramps near Ballan Primary School.
Moorabool Shire Council has also
invested $80,000 into the projects.
Works will commence in 2014 and are
expected to be complete by mid-2015.

Ballan Hospital CEO Wayne

Weaire said local community groups including the
Ballan Football Netball Club
and the Freemasons also
raised money to purchase
equipment for the primary
care
and
rehabilitation
centre.
Were hugely appreciative
of the fundraising efforts of
the local community, Mr
Weaire said.
Our strength is our integrated service across the
hospital, aged care, community health and rehabilitation services.
He said Ballan Hospital
was a platform for growing
and developing health services for a rapidly growing
population.
Last month we employed
14 more staff from across
Senator Michael Ronaldson
Moorabool Shire and were

currently advertising for
more senior nurses, he said.
He said the hospital would
now focus on an $11 million
submission to the Federal
Government for a 51-bed
extension to the aged care facility and a $2.2 million bid
for State Government funding for a day procedure unit
with two operating theatres.
Federal Member for Ballarat, Catherine King, said
Ballan and District Health
Services successfully applied for funding for the
expansion from the former
Labor Governments Health
and Hospitals Fund.
This is a great day for Ballan and another important
milestone in the 50 year history of this great local health
service, Ms King said.
This facility will go a long
way towards meeting the

current and future demand
for health services in Ballan
and I am delighted to see the
work completed.
The project will see the expansion of medical, preventive health and chronic care
services in the region and it
is a big win for the people of
Ballan.
Not only will this mean
better care, but the improved
facility will mean more
health professionals are attracted to our area.

MOORABOOL COMMENCES PROPERTY INSPECTIONS FOR FIRE HAZARDS
Council Ofcers have commenced inspections for re prevention throughout the Shire. Early
indications are for a warmer than expected spring with reduced rainfall and the CFA is advising
Victorians to begin preparing for the coming re season.
Council urges you to prepare early and to maintain your property in a re ready condition. Your
property should be well maintained throughout the year as a well maintained property stands a
greater chance of surviving a bush or grass re.
Ensure that the grass and vegetation around your property is maintained and clear the gutters
of leaves and twigs. Remove material that can burn from around your house and engage with
your neighbours regarding your re plans and preparing your properties. Remember that re
prevention is the responsibility of everyone within our community.
Council Ofcers will inspect properties throughout the Shire and issue Fire Prevention Notices
where a risk of re is identied. Heavy nes apply for failing to comply with a Fire Prevention
Notice and Council will engage contractors to complete the works on the notice if they are not
completed. The cost of these works will be recovered from the property owner.
If you have an up-to-date re plan and your property is prepared and well maintained, you will
have done all you can to protect your family from the threat of re.
For more information on preparing your property and on re plans visit www.cfa.vic.gov.au
For information regarding Fire Prevention Notices, contact the Municipal Fire Prevention Ofcer
at Moorabool Shire Council on 5366 7100.

The great divide
ADVOCATING for funding

for sewerage connections at
Bungaree and Wallace and
town water at Dunnstown
has divided Moorabools
east and west councillors.
At Councils ordinary meeting last Wednesday 1 October, Moorabools three east

ward councillors David
Edwards, Tonia Dudzik and
John Spain voted to delay
seeking funding from the
State Government to provide
reticulated utility services to
the towns of Bungaree, Wallace and Dunnstown.
Cr Edwards said while the

Small Towns Services Study
which assessed the feasibility of connecting the missing
services to those towns was
a good strategy, he believed
council needed a further report on funding options.
Before we start advocating
for funding on a $30 million
project we need to understand what that means and
who will pay what? Cr Edwards said.
Are ratepayers happy to

absorb the cost? What other
projects will be stopped if
we have to fund all or partial
of this project? What funding would we be advocating
for? Surely we must know
this before we start advocating for the funding.
Council is not currently in

a position to fund this project and the strategy leaves
it open as to whether we use
a rate charge to fund it or
other mechanisms.
Moorabools
Woodlands
Ward councillor Pat Toohey
disagreed and said the
project was ready to be
presented to industry and
government.
We need to seek a commitment now from the government and opposition that
they will support the project, Cr Toohey said.
The seat of Buninyong is
a critical seat for whos going to govern. This could
be the seat that decides the
election.
He said Wallace already

had town water and natural
gas and the only missing
ingredient was sewerage.
There is no cost to council

to advocate for funding. Developers will be falling over
themselves to get here. This
is a natural progression on
what is needed in this area,
he said.
I have no doubt the community up there will see this
as a very positive thing. This

is a solution. We have great
facilities in these towns,
great access to freeways.
There is a can-do attitude in
these towns.
West Moorabool Ward
councillor Tom Sullivan said
he believed a further report
would simply water down
the study.
The intent was for council
to advocate for funding and
this puts another impediment in the process, Cr Sullivan said.
I think its a furphy to suggest council can only advocate for one thing at a time.
He said there was the potential that council could
miss an important political
opportunity to advocate before the State Government
election.
Restricted opportunities
for development in Bungaree and Wallace have
been going on for 30 years
because theyre located in a
water catchment. This is an
opportunity to overcome
obstacles for the betterment
of the community, he said.
The future growth of these
towns is dependent on sewerage. To unlock the potential would be a godsend.
Council
Clips
A PLANNING application
to develop 18 Fisken St, Maddingley into an agricultural
transport depot has sent
Council planners back to the
drawing board. Three councillors declared conflicts
of interest at the October 1
meeting, leaving only four
to decide the outcome. It was
a stalemate with two voting
for, and two against.
***
COUNCILLORS voted four
against two in favour of
creating an access road at 4
Love Close, Maddingley. The
application for the access
road pitted old foes Godwin
Aquilina against neighbours
Bruce and Sandra Bullock,
with Mr Aquilina winning
this round.

A 30-year-old Darley resident has received a $250 fine

with no conviction, after a

police to two 27cm high cannabis plants growing in his
back yard.
The man, who lives at home
with his parents, said he
had no excuse, and that he
was just simply supporting

seized and destroyed.

Whilst a number of citizens

failed to appear in Bacchus

The Plough
Mark Mills, chef/owner of The Plough in Myrniong and Trentham shares his love of the art of dry-aging beef. Dry-aged beef is
currently the rage on the food scene. It is much sought-after by discerning beef and steak lovers who are willing to seek out the dish.
Mark understands what makes dry-aged beef a cut above the rest. He learned the art of dry-aging beef by spending time with the
owner of Westside Meats, Bacchus Marsh. Mark explains, Joe shared his knowledge of dry-aging beef with me. He was integral in
helping with the design of my dry-aging room, as well as being the supplier of my black angus beef. Mark says he was inspired to
go into dry-aging beef after he experienced the flavours of dry-aged beef. I decided to invest in my own dry-aging room to ensure
that I could offer this quality product throughout my restaurants, says Mark. Mark explains how the dry-aging process changes the
beef through evaporation of moisture from the muscle, while creating greater concentration of the beefy flavour and taste. The
beefs natural enzymes also break down connective tissues in the muscle, resulting in more tender beef. The Plough offers various
cuts of beef that have been dry-aged for 49 days. The Plough @ Myrniong offers Scotch, Porterhouse and Eye Fillet while The Plough
@ Trentham offers Rump. Mark invites you to taste the difference you will not be disappointed.

Love thy
neighbour
By Kate Taylor
Moorabool Shire Council is
sharing the love or two environmental health officers,
at least.
The two staff members of
will help out Hepburn Shire
Council by working at Hepburn temporarily.
The job sharing arrangement has been put in place
for three months to help
cover a resignation in the
Environmental Health Unit
at Hepburn.
Moorabools CEO Rob Croxford said he was pleased
Moorabool was able to respond to Hepburns call for
assistance, and able to provide them access to two of
Moorabools Environmental
Health Officers for a couple
of days a week.
Hepburn Shire Council will
fund the days the officers
work in their Shire.
We are always looking at
ways to share resources, ideas and services with neighbouring councils where
appropriate and where opportunities arise.
This is a perfect example

of where we were able to
offer them two experienced
Environmental Health Officers to work temporarily,
while they are in the process of recruiting someone
permanently.
We all face similar challenges and need careful
resource management as
regional councils, so when
situations such as this arise,
working together and helping each other often results
in the best outcomes, Mr
Croxford said.
Hepburn Shire CEO Aaron
van Egmond said Hepburn
Shire was appreciative of the
support being provided to
assist them through a busy
period.
This is a great example
of how Councils working
together can achieve an improved outcome for the community and minimise the
cost of running our services.
We hope we can reciprocate
with support to Moorabool
in the future, Mr van Egmond said.

Dear Editor,
Thank you for Jim Stewarts novel views on climate
change (MN 30 Sept)they
really take the cake!
How is it possible for a rational person to believe that
Russia, China, and India are
the nations Australia should
be proudly linking arms
with to boycott the UN meeting on climate change? That
hiding under the smelly, collective blanket of such an environmentally compromised
group of bedfellows will
somehow give Australias
position moral legitimacy
and a clear conscience?
If that proposition were not
enough to dispatch Jims letter to the dustbin, he seeks to
add a bit of gravitas by quoting a certain Dr Roy Spencer
(ex NASA). We know of Dr
Roy from his association
with the thoroughly discredited crew which cobbled
together the film The Great
Climate Swindle. This can
still be viewed on U-tube,
but be sure to watch the follow up interview with the
ABCs Terry Jones, in which
he takes the maker of that
travesty to task and dismantles the mish-mash of shabby
half-truths piece by piece.
Jims off the cuff remark that
climate change stopped 20
years ago can also be traced

to this film, in which some of
the graphs presented in the
film neglected to use the last
20 years of data.oops.
Dr. Roy no longer works
for NASA, and these days
spends his days attending
climate sceptic conferences
run by the Heartland Institute. If that Institute rings a
bell, its main claim to fame
was their association with
Philip Morris tobacco in trying to disprove the hazards
of passive smoking.
But who needs a brilliant
journalist like Terry Jones to
cut through the dross when
Jim manages to scuttle his
own argument all by himself, by the elementary error
of choosing disreputable
sources as his trump cards.

Dear Editor,
Ref: Exposure to Chemical
Spray in Avenue of Honour
(MN 30 Sept)
The Avenue of Honour
Trail, using the car park at
Captain Moon Reserve, has
proved a hugely popular
and well used community

asset. However the public
should be aware that the
land that the trail is on is
privately owned by Tripod
Farmers. As a community
we need to be tolerant and
understanding that it is
farming land and not public
open space. Clearly there
are health issues if spraying
is taking place and Tripod
Farmers have the right and
responsibility to deny public
access when such operations
are taking place. There are
provisions for the track to be
closed and these should be
exercised.
If we are to grow our walking trail network then we,

Web Words
Dear Editor,
Your article (MN 30 Sep
2014) about chemical spraying at farms along the Av-
enue of Honour should have

been front page news. This is
a serious health risk to Bacchus Marsh residents who
use the track, and for visitors to our area who use the
picnic tables next to the track
and the farm.
I have emailed council and
failing a swift response I
will put warning signs out
there myself.
This is not fear mongering
or alarmist. Bacchus Marsh
residents should be able
to enjoy one of our nicest
walking tracks without being sprayed with dangerous
carcinogens.

Property
management of
holiday rentals
As summer approaches,
many beachside property
owners or those with homes
and holiday houses in scenic
inland spots are preparing
them for holiday renting.
Cleaning, maintenance, gardening the list of tasks after winter can be daunting,
but some owners can find it
more difficult when managing their own rentals.
Why pay someone to do
what I can do myself, is their
rationale. But property man-
Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal residential

tenancies list and occupational health and safety
mean there is far more to
this role than the layperson
may realise. There are many
potential pitfalls.
Property
management
is covered in both REIVs
Agents
Representatives
Course the minimum
qualification to work as a
real estate agent in Victoria and the Certificate IV
in Property Services (Real
Estate) necessary to become
a licensed real estate agent.
Some property managers
are fully licensed and even
directors of their firms.
The introductory qualification includes legislative
requirements, dispute resolution a minefield for the
untrained completing documentation in a legally compliant manner, managing
leases, terminating leases,
handling monies and maintaining a secure key register.
The licence course has more
advanced units on leasing
properties and listing properties for lease with topics
such as reviewing applications, implementing proce-
dures for landlord approval,

completing documentation
about inspections and managing termination of leases.
Four of the advanced units
cover almost 50 different
topics.
As well, REIV has a property management chapter
which keeps members up
to date. So if you are planning on managing your
own property, think twice:
do you understand tenants
rights? And do you understand your own?
Selling a
property quickly
The excitement of placing
an offer on your ideal home
also brings with it all the
nerves and anticipation of
the next important step in
the process: settling the contract of sale in time to ensure
the property becomes yours.
If your dream purchase was
an impulsive one, the chances are that, in order to pay
for it, you need to arrange
the prompt sale of your current home or an investment
property.
Bungaree Lifestyle + Big Shedding

233 Bungaree - Wallace Road, Bungaree
Situated only minutes from Ballarat, in the cosy township of Bungaree, is this luxury home on 1.44
hectares (3.6 acres). It comes complete with two large sheds of 18x9 and 24x12 respectively, and
would be ideal for trucks, cranes, machinery or storage and a variety of other uses. Rear access
to the block and shedding is also a feature. Close to the freeway entrance, and on the Melbourne
side, the location is ideal. The home is luxuriously appointed for the family, with space galore
and an alfresco entertaining area with its own fi replace and built in BBQ that needs to be seen to
be appreciated. With 3 living areas and 4 bedrooms plus a study, this spacious home has it all.
Climate control throughout, along with a wood combustion heater give you all the options to stay
warm in winter and cool in summer. Outside the garden is spectacularly maintained and there is
an in-ground trampoline, cubby house and plenty of space run and play. Serviced with both town
water and a bore, the property has loads of features and represents an opportunity that is rare
indeed. Price $880,000.

Although buying and selling fast can be stressful,

this can be averted if youre
organised and act quickly.
Negotiating the longest
possible settlement period
on your new property before
signing the contract preferably even before bidding or
submitting an offer will
give you extra time to organise your financing and other
arrangements.
Ask the vendors agent
about the maximum settlement. Even if the contract
says 30 or 60 days, the vendor may be willing to extend
particularly if you make an
attractive offer that is worth
the wait.
A 90 day or even 120 day
settlement period on your
new purchase can provide
some assurance and peace
of mind when it comes to
preparing and selling your
current property. If your
own settlement is restricted
to 30 days, this can reduce
the pool of potential buyers.
Choose your agent, ideally
by interviewing several. But
time is of the essence so if
friends or family have been
happy with an agent or lo-
cal word-of-mouth is good,

make your choice and start
planning.
Your agent can advise you
on the urgent tasks required
for selling your property
within a specific timeframe.
An agent with extensive
contacts and a comprehensive database of interested
buyers in the area may even
sell your property before
marketing it.
Have your solicitor start immediately on your Section
32 vendor statement as you
cant sell without it.
Most of all, remember to
stay calm and focused. If
your house does not sell
quickly through private
sale or at auction, hold your
nerve and take your agents
advice.
The good news is that the
market is still solid and
regional Victoria has performed well over the past 12
months, demonstrating consistent growth. And with interest rates currently steady,
quality properties in towns
with good regional services
will remain in demand with
prospective buyers.

Enzo Raimondo
CEO, REIV
agement is now governed by

a complex set of legislative
requirements. Combine this
with tenant expectations
and it is a demanding role.
About 80 per cent of rentals in Australia are handled
by professional property
managers a role requiring thorough training and
up-to-date knowledge and
most investors realise this is
not a job for an amateur.
Most of us know a little of
what a property manager
does: advertising properties and selecting tenants;
checking references; managing maintenance issues,
including after hours; inspecting properties; having
them cleaned and repaired
between tenants if necessary; and collecting rent and
bonds. This general knowledge can lead those with a
holiday home, or letting out
their own home during the
holiday season, to believe
it is a task they can handle
themselves.
But in Victoria legislative
requirements, in particular,

Darley
Cricket
Club
Cricket is underway with
the Seniors starting their
2014-15 Ballarat Cricket Association campaign off on
Saturday with the first of
a two day match in cracking weather against Golden
Point.
Zac Ticehurst had a faultless
130 in the 2nd XI batting at
number 3. At just 17 years
of age this prodigy already
has six 1st eleven caps, and
numerous
representative
honours under his belt.
The 1st Eleven are 1/13
chasing 225 with reigning dual Cleary Medallist
Matthew Cape 3/28 and returning great Ryan Ali 3/44
leading the way with the
ball. A 132 run third wicket
partnership looked to put
the game out of reach, but
a steady flow of wickets following has Darley in a commanding position.
Darley have another returning great in Josh Bamford
and boom English recruit
Oliver Smith settled at the
crease and ready to fire this
Saturday, with only one
wicket down.
The 2nd Eleven finished at
5/315 with Zac Ticehurst 130,
Ben Longhurst 47*, Rohan
Parag 46, and Ben Hall 35 all
contributing to what is massive score. Ticehurst joined
Hall at the crease with Darley at 1/2 combining for 81
runs. After Hall was dismissed Ticehurst was joined
by Parag for a 113 run stint,
and then by Longhurst for
another 75 runs.
A very handy bowling attack will make this a difficult match for Golden Point
to win or Darley to lose.
The 3rd Eleven were all
out for 185 and have Golden
Point 0/31 in reply after being in the box seat at 2/127

at tea. A brilliant captains
knock of 80 by Beau Jamieson at number three, and
a brilliant start by openers
Daniel Robinson 35 and
Hamish Wheeler 34 were
the highlights before the
batting collapse, although
credit must be given to
bowler Daniel Hynes who
tied down an end with the
ball to concede 13 runs from
6 overs.
The 3rds have the bowling
fire power to stop Golden
Point in this one, however it
will definitely come down to
wickets rather than economy
to secure the points.
The 4th Eleven are chasing 348 after an incredible
performance with the ball
from junior lions Connor
Ascough 3/33, Joel Cadman
2/32 and Mitchell Ward
2/43 along with 12yo Jordan
Monaghan with the gloves.
Captain Ben Ihlow was
full of praise for the efforts
of this young crew whom
maintained composure even
after a 95 run 1st and 91 run
7th wicket partnerships.
Siberia is a smaller ground,
and to be chasing less than 5
runs per over is a great effort
by the young 4th XI outfit.
The key this Saturday will
be to value each wicket and
bat out the overs for an opportunity for a round one
win.
Juniors
The Ballarat and Melton
Junior competitions kick off
this week, and Darley will be
well represented again with
two Under 16 sides and one
Under 14 side on Saturday

The club entered Round 1
with high expectations following an off-season recruiting campaign that attracted
a number of high profile Premier Division level bowlers.
Premier Division were
drawn to play the powerful
Ocean Grove side, (away),
containing several state and
national level players.
In gusty conditions, Avenue
was able to match it with
their opponents for most of
the day, however by games
end, Ocean Grove were able

to secure victory by 40 shots.
For Avenue, Sam Shannahans rink and Glenn Sargents rink both lost by 10
shots, and Andy Myers rink
lost by 4 shots.
Division 3, preliminary
finalists last season hosted
Victoria.
Avenue led the way all day
with strong performances
by all rinks, leading to an
overall victory by 38 shots.
Newly appointed skip
GarryCandy led theway
with am emphatic 11 shot
win, as did Frank Pomeroys
rink, but the best performed
rink was that of Glenn Davies, also in his first game as
skip for the Club, winning
by 13 shots.
The remarkable event of the
day was Bill Hawkens rink.
Down 17-22 on the last end,
theside found some late energy and recorded a magical
8 to win by 3shots.
Final score Avenue 109 def

Division 5 travelled to Sebastopol and was able to
snatch victory by a solitary
shotin a keenly fought contest. Despite winning 3 of the
4 rinks on the day, Avenue
found it difficult to shake off
its opponents. Dave McKendricks side won by 5 shots,
closely followed by Bob Delaneys rink (3 shots up) and
Peter Thistlethwaites rink
(2 shots up). Unfortunately
Laurie Burkes rink could

not complete the quaddie.
Final score Avenue 96 def
Sebastopol 95
Division 8, which comprised a number of new
bowlers and members filling
in, struggled all day against
Webbcona. At
various
times Avenue were holding a number of shots on
each rink, only for the opposition skips to come down
and take the shot away. The
shining light for Avenue was
Di Hardiments rink which
recorded a dominant 27 shot
win, however the other sides
struggled.
