Sun shines on Dawn
By Jessica Howard
The dedication of four valuable Greendale firefighters has

been recognised.
Dawn Stan, Alex Gardener, Dylan Ross and Anne Dolphin
were praised for their bravery and dedication to the rural fire
brigade in an awards ceremony held in June.
Volunteer firefighter, Dawn Stan was endowed the Brian
Shanahan Award for the Greendale Rural Fire Brigade
Member of the Year.
Greendale captain, Damien Zabinskas said the award
recognised a number of key attributes shown over a 12-month
period.
The Brian Shanahan award represents someone who has
made an exemplary presentation of perseverance and team
work, someone who turns up frequently and is dedicated to
looking after the community, he said.
Brian Shanahan was one of our longest serving and most
looked up to and respected brigade members. The choice was

easy to name our member of the year award in his honour.
Mr Zabinskas said Mrs Stan was one of the brigades most
active female members, who is always keen to learn and
expand her abilities.
She works very well in a team and has always operated
appropriately in emergency situations and with the public.
She is always looking out for her fellow firefighters, he said.
Mrs Stan, also a member of the integration support staff at
Myrniong Primary School, said she had no idea she had been
nominated to receive the award.
I was totally surprised to receive such a prestigious award.
It is truly such a great honour to be nominated let alone
receiving an award like this, she said.
A volunteer for close to five years, Mrs Stan joins her
husband, Jason and daughter Kady in the brigade, with her
youngest daughter Leah a junior brigade member until 2014.

I think its important to contribute to the community in

which we live and being a CFA volunteer is a great way to
achieve this, she said.
Whether it involves turning out for fires or accidents,
donation collections, sausage sizzles or participating in
community events, they are all important aspects of working
within our community.
Other awards included a 35-year service medal to Greendale
resident, Alex Gardener and two five-year certificates to
Dylan Ross and Anne Dolphin.
Mr Zabinskas said the CFA liked to recognise the long and
dedicated service received from volunteer firefighters.
As volunteers, these people do it out of their own time and
there is always plenty of training involved on top of turning
up to a fire, so it can be quite disruptive to normal day-to-day
life, he said.
These awards show our appreciation for their time.

Library is such a joke
By Jessica Howard
The silence was broken

in the Lerderderg Library
last month as the sound of
childrens laughter echoed
throughout the building.
Childrens
entertainer,
Andy Jones exposed more
than 340 children from Bacchus Marsh schools and kindergartens to storytelling,
music, rhythm and rhyme in
an interactive session titled
Whats the Joke.
Held over two days in June,
the sessions helped the

young children to explore
language with drums and

electric guitar, silly songs,
chants and rhymes.
The author of several bestselling books, including
Burp-tionary and the Enormous Book of Hot Jokes
for Kool Kids, Andy allows
children to understand how
a good sense of humour can
be turned into something
fun to read.
Following the sessions, the
children were invited to
go back to school, home or
kinder and write their own
joke or story, or draw their
own picture about their ex-
perience at the library.

As one child responded,
Whats the tallest building in Bacchus Marsh? The
library, because it has the
most stories!
Or as another child, Lucy
said of the show It was that
funny, that everyone almost
started crying!
The Whats the Joke session was made possible by
Moorabools Best Start Program. For more information,
contact the Best Start Community Facilitator at Moorabool Shire Council on 5366

Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have

released a FACE image to
assist in their investigation into a hit-run collision
that claimed a mans life in
Anakie on Mothers Day.
Cyclist Gordon Ibbs, 77,
died from injuries he sustained after he was struck
by a car on Geelong-Ballan
Road just after 2.30pm on
Sunday 10 May.
The vehicle involved failed
to stop at the scene.
Police located a burnt out
vehicle in a carpark just off
Cape-Otway Road in Wurdiboluc Reservoir, Winchelsea
at around 5pm on 12 May.
Its believed this vehicle
may be the same vehicle involved in the collision and is
currently undergoing forensic examination.

found burnt out. Photos - VicPol
Detective Inspector Bernie

Rankin from the Major Collision Investigation Unit
is urging anyone in the
community who knows
anything about this crime to
come forward.
We have received a number of anonymous phone
calls providing information
about Mr Ibbs death, Det
Insp Rankin said.
There are people out
there who know who is
responsible.
The person who struck Mr
Ibbs and left him to die on
the side of the road does not
deserve to be protected by
anyone. It was a callous and
cowardly act, and shows a
contemptuous attitude to
the value of a human life.
To leave the scene of a
crash where someone has
been hurt is just an extreme
act of selfishness. One asks

why the offender would do
this is he a disqualified
driver, was he intoxicated or
had he taken drugs?
Whatever the reason, he
put his own interests before
another human being, and
he should be condemned for
it.
Det Insp Rankin said investigators were convinced the
hit-run driver received assistance from at least one other
person after the crash.
I ask anyone who may
have assisted the offender
to consider their position, if
they come forward of their
own accord.
Anyone with information is
urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or they
can file a confidential report
at www.crimestoppersvic.

V/Line anger remains

By Kate Taylor
The new multi-million taxpayer dollar Regional Rail
Link is an epic disaster
according to one commuter,
with hundreds of others venting their anger at
lengthy delays and a lack of
carriages.
Since the introduction of a
new timetable on 21 June,
trains through Bacchus
Marsh and Ballan on the Ballarat line, have been plagued
with problems including
consistently running late
and chronic overcrowding
with some trains full before
they even leave Southern
Cross Station.
A V/Line spokesperson said
the issues are being worked
on but put the problem at
least partially back on commuters, saying they can also
choose different trains to
travel on.
We know that some services have been less comfortable than others, so
were publishing our daily
patronage figures to help
people choose trains with
more available capacity, the
spokesperson said.
For example, the 5:19pm
train to Bacchus Marsh has
28 per cent of its seats occupied, while the train that
leaves Southern Cross just
16 minutes later, has all seats
occupied for at least part
of its journey. The capacity
Pollies jump on board
Joshua Morris talks to a commuter on his Ballarat to Melbourne return train journey.
Photo - submitted
figures are available from a
button on the home page at
vline.com.au.
Services being less comfortable than others include
passengers being forced
to sit in aisles and luggage
compartments with some
being unable to board, and
having to catch later trains.
The new timetable is an
epic disaster, said one commuter who did not wish to
be named.
Its a pretty simple calculation if there is no local work
and people cant get reliable
transport to their work, the
communities are no longer

viable places to live. The regional rail link has been a
win for some but an undeniable failure for others.
Two additional carriages
were added last week to
service morning and peak
trains on the Ballarat line
but many commuters say the
additions are too little too
late, stating that carriages
have been taken off the Ballarat line and put onto the
Geelong line.

July council meeting that

rolling stock had been taken off the Ballarat line and
put on the Geelong line.
Council CEO Rob Croxford
is speaking with passengers and V/Line to gather
information for a letter he is
writing to Public Transport
Victoria, VicTrack and V/
Line following a motion put
forward at the council meeting by East Ward Councillor Dave Edwards after the
matter was raised in Urgent
Business by fellow East
Ward Councillor John Spain.
Member for Western Victoria Region Joshua Morris

started a political trend by catching the 6.13am train
from Ballarat to speak with angry commuters about the
problems they are experiencing.
On the same day Member for Buninyong Geoff Howard
caught the 7.24am train from Ballarat to Southern
Cross last week to hear from commuters about the
problems however he declined to comment on when
the last time he had caught a train was.
I can appreciate peoples frustration that train services
on the Ballarat line over the past fortnight have not
been as smooth as expected, Mr Howard said.
Member for Melton Don Nardella was also unable to
remember the last time he caught a train but said he
has been in contact with many frustrated commuters.
For me its a matter of continuing the pressure on V/
Line while weve got these problems - and the biggest
problem is the lateness problem, Ive had people saying
its 10 to 15 minutes and thats not good enough, Mr
Nardella said.
Im absolutely disappointed with this new timetable
- but Im more disappointed for the people in the
community that have had to put up with this rubbish.
But V/Line is an independent statutory authority and
makes its own decisions, and the government gives
advice and points out problems, and they then need
to fix it.
Mr Nardella urged people to continue to write to him as well as to V/Line about the problems, and to sign an
online petition set up by frustrated commuters.
Conductors on the line are alleged to have also been
directing passengers to vent their anger by contacting
their local members of parliament about the issues,
while Facebook sites have also been set up.

JustICE support
Year of the Hand
JustIce was a gift from Maggie to her son for his 22nd
birthday.
She wears a henna tattoo on the palm of her hand, with
an ancient symbol painted in the middle known as Jera
(pronounced Year).
Given the personal investment I hold in the gift of JustIce,
to my son, I took great care in selecting a logo that can
uphold a great change that will be challenging, as is in
the case of addiction, and even more in the case of ice
addiction where the grip is particularly relentless, she
said.
A rune that holds many meanings, Maggie said the
painting speaks of the hard work and determination
required to create abundance within ones self, and in
particular speaks to the meaning of harvest for a good
year.
Jera is a rune of patience and harmony with bringing
abundance and plenty. Jera has to do with timing. It is the
maxim: This too shall pass.
I wanted to give [my son] a better way of being, a place
he can access immediately for support and so I have. I
made him this place, where resources and knowledge is
all available in one place. When hes ready JustIce will
be waiting for him.

While ice users are rightly
given attention, care and
support, their loved ones are
often left behind.
Thats something Maggie, a
former teenage heroin addict
and now the mother of an ice
user, knows all too well.
A clinical hypnotherapist
and former psychologist,
Maggie recently moved to
the Ballan area after a court
order against her son was
made for her own protection.
However, after experiencing a teenage addiction of

her own, Maggie says she
understands the traumatising world of drugs from
both sides.
And I honestly dont know
which is worse, she said.
People make these decisions over and over again
that are literally destroying
their own lives, however as a
partner, a parent or dear god
a grandparent, we naturally
try to protect the ones we
love, and most of the time we
can get hurt in the process.

Building from her own
experiences, Maggie has
created the support group
JustIce, which aims to show
anyone suffering from the
ice epidemic that they arent
alone.
Working alongside a Melton
mother of two, the support
sessions will be held weekly
at the Hudsons Hotel in
Ballan.
The sessions are open to
those who are struggling
with an addiction, as well as
those who are the supporters, however it is fundamental that they are separated.
The information, the message and the support is incredibly different, Maggie
said.
As a user whether they
are already on their path of
recovery or they are making
the decision to do so that in
itself is a different process.
And for the person who is
supporting that individual,
they are on their own path.
All recovery is different.
With a number of drug

support groups already out
there, Maggie said it was not
about starting something
new, but starting something
in collaboration with what
already works.
The sessions will be focused partially on the concept of AA meetings, but
it wont be using that same
step model. We are closely
following the Family Drug
Support model, which is
based on a realist level, and
the idea that any recovery is
good recovery, she said.
So if someone comes in
and they tell me that sobriety

is the way, or the methadone
program is the way, then Ill
sit there and Ill work out the
plan with them. Who am I
to tell people how to get off
their drugs? If they come up
with a recovery plan, they
are already halfway there.
JustIce is a non-denominational, non-judgmental and
child-friendly space, and
will hold meetings every
Monday Next Meeting 20
July 2015.

It is important
to work ON your
Business NOT just in it
Most people go into Business for all the

right reasons. They want freedom, lifestyle
and the ability to choose their hours. Unfortunately the reality for most small business
owners is very different.
Too many owners just dont have the time
to build their Business. They spend most of
their day trying to do it all. If you have been
working IN your Business without getting
the results you want, NOW is the time to
change.
At Account(able) we can work with you to
establish exactly what you want out of your
Business. And show you how to get it! After
all, you are in Business to turn a profit.
Five key areas are:
- Improve your cash flow
- Drive more profitability
- Generate more sales
- Lead a high performing team, and
- Enjoy your Business
By working together we can prepare a
yearly Budget and Forecast. Having set up
quarterly meetings we can then review
and explain the results. These meetings can
identify financial shortcomings and analyse
profitability.
Setting up and reviewing quarterly targets
enables us to benchmark these results to the
previous period and compare these results
against Industry benchmarks.
We also look at other projects and ideas that
can improve your business and then lock in a
time frame to complete tasks such as:
Planning
Do you have a Business plan? What are your
goals for the next 12mths, 3yrs & 5yrs?
We measure your business strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Managing Accounts & Reporting Systems
What software program are you using? Can
you cut the time spent on this by half? This
will not only save you time but enhance your
bottom line.
Marketing
How do you Market your Business? Does
this require attention? Do you know your
niche market and how to attract more
customers?
Staff
Employees and contractors. Do you have the
right people in the right places? By freeing
up your time you will be able to concentrate
on building up your Business.
Time management
Regardless of what industry you are in,
every single Business requires a tenacious
approach to managing the day-to-day activities and priorities. Learn what to do with
your time each day.
At Account(able) we focus on your business
and you personally, where you are at and
where you want to go.

Ramps still a blame game

By Kate Taylor
Roads Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Warren
Truss has weighed in on the
Halletts Way debate.
A spokesperson for Mr
Truss responded to a call
by member for Melton Don
Nardella and Federal member for Ballarat Catherine
King to reveal where the
$7.6 million committed by
the previous Labor Federal
Government to build on/off
ramps is.
The spokesperson said that
Federal Government money
allocated to the project has
not gone missing it was
never committed to by the
State Government.
In April 2013, the Australian Government proposed
the reallocation of the remaining $7.6 million from its
$160 million commitment to
realign Anthonys Cutting at
Bacchus Marsh towards the
construction of new freeway
ramps at Halletts Way, the
spokesperson explained.
At that time the estimated
cost of the ramps was $9.7
million.
This proposal was conditional on the Victorian
Government agreeing to the
proposal and contributing

the remaining funding.
No formal agreement from
the Victorian Government to
this proposal was received.
Mr Truss spokesperson
said in April 2014, the Victorian Liberal Government
wrote to the Australian
Government seeking reallocation of the $7.6 million proposed for the freeway ramps
at Halletts Way to other projects in the Infrastructure
Investment Programme.
This request was agreed
and the $7.6 million was included in a pool of funding
that was allocated to other
projects in Victoria in the
2014-15 Federal Budget.
The funding of the freeway ramps at Halletts Way
and upgrades to Woolpack
Road are matters for the
Victorian Government and
Moorabool Shire Council.
We note that the Victorian
Labor Government has not
allocated any funding to this
project in its 2015-16 budget.
Given this situation, any
request to the Australian Government for funding
would need to be considered in the context of future
budget priorities.

Dog sniffs out truffles
By Jessica Howard
Searching the ground for

earthly treasures is nothing
short of normal for Oak Hill
truffle dog, Sally.
The Labrador works diligently to detect the elusive
aroma of truffles hidden
beneath the surface of the
farm, however as the season
progresses, Oak Hill Truffles are inviting the public to
pop on their gumboots and
join in.
With a fine harvest of quality truffles expected between
mid June and mid August,
the Gordon farm will be
host to two truffle inspired
events.
Hunt and Dine will offer
an insight into the search
and harvest of truffles
alongside Sally, and will be
followed by a four-course
truffle inspired lunch prepared by chef, Mark Mills at
The Plough, Myrniong.

event was expected to host

We walk down the road
with Sally and even though
you cant see the truffles
as they are underground,
she will detect the aroma.
She will then make a little mark in the ground and
wait for her reward, which is
cabana.
Mr Woodhouse said Sally
would also be joined by her
friend Ella, the truffle dog
from Black Cat Truffles,
Creswick.
They are both rescue dogs.
Weve had Sally for about
four years now, we got her
from the pound and she had
obviously been terribly mistreated, he said
She was petrified of anything that moved, it took us
about two months for her to
realise she was in a safe place
and now she has turned out
to be just a brilliant dog.
To meet Sally, or to attend
one of the Oak Hill Truffles
events, visit www.oakhill

The plan is reviewed annually and was put out for

We will start at about 10:30
for a really nice morning tea,
and that will be followed by
a general question and answers discussion. Then we
take people out in groups of
about 15 and we hunt down
some truffles, he said.
Afterwards people will be
invited back to the house
where they will have the
opportunity to buy truffles
or truffle-related products
and then we will attend the
Plough for a beautiful four
course meal.
In its third year, the Hunt
and Dine event will be held
on Saturday, July 18.
Mr Woodhouse said a second event, titled Snuffle the
Truffle would be held the
following weekend (July 25)
and would offer a hunt and
harvest followed by morning tea and truffle tasting.
We introduce people to the

Moorabools
Community
Leadership Program has
been applauded by East
Ward Councillor and Deputy Mayor John Spain.
Cr Spain mentioned the program in his councillor report
to the July council meeting.
The Moorabool Community Leadership Program is
a council initiative involving a facilitator-led series of
workshops involving community leaders from across
the Shire, he explained after the meeting.
These are people who may
or may not already be leaders
of community groups and
are interested in developing
their leadership skills.
Cr Spain said that the workshops were held in the Bun-
garee Community Centre at

the recreation reserve.
The first tranche of workshop graduates celebrated
their graduation at Bungaree and the Mayor and myself attended the celebration.
Its been a huge success for
the participants and for the
council staff who ran the
program.
Funding is secure for the
next round of workshops
at least I believe. Increasing community capacity
has been a commitment of
Council for several years
and developing community
leaders is a big part of that.
More details about the program can be obtained from
councils Community Development Unit on 5366 7100.
When a shire with one of

the largest road networks in
the state gets an extra $3 million to spend on roads, it can
be hard to work out where to
start spending.
But that is just what Moorabool Shire Council will
undertake over coming
months.
The funding comes under
the Federal Governments
Roads to Recovery program which is itself funded
through fuel excise but
now, that excise will be tied
to Consumer Price Index increases twice a year.
Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister for Infrastructure
and Regional Development
Warren Truss said every
cent of the extra $23 billion

revenue raised through the
excise over the next decade
and beyond will be invested
in roads infrastructure.
The Government has
reached agreement with the
Labor Party for the passage
of the fuel excise indexation
legislation, an important element in our Budget repair
plan, Mr Truss said.
As part of our ongoing
commitment to road infrastructure, we will provide
an additional $1.105 billion
specifically for the Roads to
Recovery Programme over
the next two years.
Councils
Infrastructure
General manager Phil Jeffrey
welcomed the announcement, saying it is likely to
result in additional funds in
the order of $750,000 in 201516 and $2 million in 2017-18.

The funds will be an opportunity to bring forward
road reconstruction projects
and possible new works. A
plan for the funds will be
developed in the coming
months, Mr Jeffrey said.
This initiative will assist in
the infrastructure gap and
improving the condition of
the road network.
In terms of the excise
increase - for a motorist
who consumes 50 litres
of fuel each week, the impact amounts to 40 cents,
an impact that is expected
to be minimised through
congestion-busting
road
infrastructure.
London, Paris, New

York, Myrniong!
By Jessica Howard
From a Myrniong homestead to a New York City art
gallery Vesna Peko-Luketic
will have seen it all.
The owner of Myrniongs
Home on the Range Genuine Free-Range Eggs has
travelled to New York City
to exhibit her digitally produced artwork.
Originally a professional
painter and printmaker,
Vesna said she was introduced to digital painting by
her daughter, who insisted
she downloaded the playful
app Doodle Buddy.
It all started three years
ago when I started drawing
on a phone using the app, it
was just a bit of fun until I
was given an iPad and soon
realised that I could increase
my artwork to a large size,
she said.
Vesna said whilst she is still

essentially drawing on a
blank canvas, the ability to
create art with technology
allows her the freedom to
create on the go.
This method is an extension of what I have already
done in my arts practice and
provides exciting new possibilities for artists working
with traditional media, she
said.
Technology gives me the
freedom to express myself
without the need of a studio
facility its all encased in
my iPad or Apple computer.
Sourcing inspiration from
life, Vesna said the characters in her art are people seen
in clubs, bars or restaurants
and recreated in her mind in
order to express the lyricism
of rhythm, music and dance.
My work is about colour,
its about energy and emotion. Im more interested in

what I feel than what I see,
she said.
I could draw you exactly
as you look but thats just a
skill, art is more than that.
You have to capture the moment, the feeling and the energy it cant just be a piece
of decorative wallpaper.
Titled Rhapsody in Colour,
Vesnas exhibition is dedicated to her late friend Alan
Knipe, who gifted her with
an iPad and deeply supported her new medium.
Held at Agora Gallery in
New York, the exhibition
will run from July 7 July
28. For more information

Messed up
playgroup
By Lisa Comerford
Its all messy fun at the
playgroup run by the Darley
Primary School.
The messier it is, the more
fun they have, laughs
teacher Helena Wilkie, who
runs the playgroups for babies and pre-schoolers.
I love seeing the kids get
stuck in and not worrying
if they get wet or covered in
paint, glitter or spaghetti.
The school has been running the playgroup for seven
years with Helena at the
helm and principal Simon
Cornock said she is like the

Energizer battery bunny!
She has such passion for
it, is always enthusiastic. We
just dont know where she
gets her endless energy, he
said.
Ms Wilkie has a love of craft
and a passion for helping
children learn and play, a
key component to a successful playgroup.
Mums and dads have the
opportunity to play, paint,
craft and have fun with
their kids, without having to
worry about their own furniture, walls and floors.
Ms Wilkie said there is a No

Phone policy that allows the
children to have their parents undivided attention.
Felicity Grove has been
bringing her children along
for four years and said they
look forward to the craft
activities.
Each week is different and
we make lots of beautiful
things to take home.
Ms Wilkie said the school
has been very generous to
the playgroup program.
They let me be as creative
as I want to be.
to respond in a supportive
way. This approach then allows the children to understand and manage their own
emotions.
Ms Sperling said that over
the programs five-year history, the school had received
a very positive response.
To date, weve had about
45 to 50 parents take part in
the six-week program and
the feedback and evaluation
forms have read really positively. There is a reconnect
meeting six-weeks after the
completion of the program
to ensure that the parents
are still working through the
steps, she said.
Whilst the program is a little theory based its also very
practical with role plays,
sharing experiences and
showing alternative ways to
work with children.
Tuning in to Kids will be

held from Tuesday July 28
at Darley Primary School,
however with limited space
available, Ms Sperling said
she hopes the program can
continue to run in the future.
We can only take 14 people,
which includes myself and
another facilitator. I have
been working with Councils Jade Moerenhout to fill
the spots, but if Council and
Darley Primary School continue to be committed then
this kind of program will
continue, she said.
We are so grateful to
Council because this is just a
really encouraging and non
judgemental program which
has so many positives.

she said.
This coaching recognises

Court in Action
By Jessica Howard
A Bacchus Marsh resident

who stole a bicycle for cheap
laughs has been pegged
with a $400 fine.
Jay May pleaded guilty to
one charge of theft in the
Bacchus Marsh Magistrates
court last Friday, after he
was caught stealing the
pink BMX bike from outside
an Echuca McDonalds, the
court heard.
On February 23, 2013, the
owner of the bicycle was
seated inside the fast-food
restaurant when she witnessed May unlawfully take
the bike, which was said to
be worth more than $200,
and ride away.
The victim attempted to follow the thief until she was
able to wave down a passing
police car.
May was intercepted and arrested at the scene, where he
stated he took the bike for a
bit of a laugh, and believed
he would have kept the item
for a couple of months before
throwing it away, the police
prosecutor said.
Mays lawyer said whilst
the case was quite out-dated
due to her client failing to
appear in court, the local
concreter had managed to

significantly mature since
the time of the incident.
The theft comes down to
a large sense of immaturity
from a boy in his early-20s,
however there has been a lot
of maturing in the last two
years, she said.
My client was going
through a troubled time
after he was king-hit in Ballarat by a stranger that same
year, which forced him to
fall and fracture his skull.
This left a psychological scar
that has allowed for a significant amount of maturing.
Magistrate Elizabeth Lambden said she accepted the
lengthy passage of time between the court date and the
incident, and fined May $400
with conviction.
A Bacchus Marsh father has

lost his license for a period
of 12-months after he was
charged with his second
drink driving offence.
On May 24 of this year, Anil
Gullapully was allegedly
driving east along Bacchus
Marsh Road when he noticed a booze bus ahead and
immediately turned around.
Police intercepted the ac-
cused and a preliminary

breath test was undertaken,
which produced a bloodalcohol reading of 0.060.
The probationary driver
also failed to show signs
of appropriate P-plates, the
court heard.
Mr Gullapully, who was
charged with a prior drink
driving offence in 2012, said
it was an honest mistake,
in which he believed after
three years he was allowed
to have a blood-alcohol reading of 0.05.
And I was driving my
wifes car, which is why
there were no plates, he
said.
Magistrate Lambden said
whilst both offences were
relatively low readings, the
accused should have learnt
his lesson the first time.
Your behaviour has only
opened the gate for disaster
that being the inability to
drive, which will then be
followed by a future alcohol
interlock device. I hope you
will learn from this, she
said.
Mr Gullapully was disqualified from driving for
a period of 12-months and
fined $717.

planned community at Maddingley for an undisclosed
sum.
The purchaser of the land,
10 McCormacks Rd, has not

been disclosed but according to the selling agents,
Savills Australia, the company plans to build a $20 million neighborhood shopping
centre on the site.
The two hectare Neighbourhood Activity Centre site

occupies a highly exposed
corner location next door to
a proposed primary school
development at the $550 million Stonehill Community.

The approved plans allow
for the construction of a
neighbourhood
shopping
centre with a maximum
leasable floor area of 6000
sq m, including a full line
supermarket of 3800 sq m,
1480 sq m of specialty shops,
a service station and parking
for 265 cars.

Dear Editor,
I have read many complaints from commuters,

in various publications, regarding train services since
the new timetables commenced on 21st June. Bacchus Marsh and Melton
have one extra peak service
each way daily and off peak
services have doubled from
hourly to half hourly during
the week albeit with fewer
carriages. Personally I am
impressed with the new service and if some passengers
did not spread and place
personal items, and feet on
seats, there would be seating available for everybody
on the shorter trains. Also
passengers from Rockbank,
Deer Park and Ardeer have
numerous former express
services stopping at these
stations so I cannot see what
they have to complain about.

their furniture etc. in a quite

large shed on the property.
Approximately one week

later my son was driving his
wife to work when I
received a phone call telling

me their shed was on fire.
Thankfully the
neighbours had called the
fire brigade, who after quite
a time finally put
out the fire.
Enough of the bad story,

now the good story; The
CFA volunteers from Ballan,
Greendale and Myrniong
are fantastic people; they not
only put out the fire, they
supplied tea for my son and
his wife that night and have
kept in touch with them to
see if they can do any more
for them. These volunteers
deserve a lot more help and
praise from the community.
Ill start the praise with

a very big THANK YOU
on behalf of our family
for what you all do for the
community.

Dear Editor,
I have been very disappointed to find that our rail
services have not run well
since the introduction of the
new timetable to align with
the completion of the Regional Rail Link project.
Clearly, a smoother transition was expected. In directing my feedback back to V/
Line and the Minister for
Public Transport, I have been
assured that much is being
done to address the causes
of delays and to alleviate the
overcrowding which has occurred on some services.
Having travelled from Ballarat to Melbourne on a
morning peak service last
week I was able to gain further direct feedback from
regular commuters.
I note that the CEO of the
Committee for Ballarat, John
Kilgour correctly observed
that many of these problems are the result of a lack
of earlier investment in carriages and additional passing loops.
I further note that while the
former Liberal Government
did eventually continue on
with Labors Regional Rail
Link project, they did not
order any new carriages
in their first two years of
government and although
they promised a passing
loop at Ballan ahead of the

2010 election, this was never
constructed.
An alternate passing loop

at Rowsley was proposed
and it has been left to the
Andrews Government to
get this project happening,
with works to get underway
in coming months. Our government has also ordered 21
new VLocity carriages in its
first budget to help meet future demands.
Im pleased that The Andrews Labor Government is

very committed to investing in our public transport
services.
Clearly there is much to do

and while Regional Rail Link
has delivered extra peak services for Ballarat, Ballan and
Bacchus Marsh, more needs
to be done in terms of capacity and punctuality. I will
continue to seek feedback
from rail travellers and will
stay in close contact with
the Minister and V/Line
to ensure that Ballarat line
passengers get to appreciate
the reliable rail service that
Regional Rail Link can offer.

A cut above
the rest
By Jessica Howard
Moorabool CFA members

have turned their attention
to motor vehicle accidents
in a series of joint training
drills.
On Sunday (28 June), 16
volunteer firefighters from
the Greendale, Ballan and
Myrniong Brigades undertook a training session in
order to better understand
how to react in a motor vehicle accident emergency
rescue.
Hosted by the Greendale
CFA, the training simulated
a person being trapped in
a vehicle and allowed the
volunteers to experience
stabilising the car and safely
cutting it open.
Greendale Brigade mem-
Environmental Opinion
ber, Monika Zabinskas said

with the closure of Fiskville
training centre, local brigades were being pushed to
provide more complicated
training for their volunteers.
This training allows us to
assist Ballan rescue when
attending motor vehicle accidents in the area, she said.
In addition to the weekly
training drills held each
Sunday, Ms Zabinskas said
the Brigade would be running a major training day
every two months and were
always looking for more
volunteers.
The Greendale Fire Brigade
would like to extend their
thanks to Adrian at Ballan
Motor Wreckers, who kindly
donated two cars to the
training day.
with Tom Kingston
It shall be the concern of the authorities to keep the country

habitable and to protect and improve the environment. - Dutch Constitution
I would like to mention
a few different issues this
week.
Issue One: July has been
promoted as Plastic Free.
The idea is for us to reduce
our use of plastic during
July. If you are interested in
some further facts on plastic
in our economic, social and
environmental worlds it is
worth looking up the website - Plastic Free July and
try reducing your plastic
footprint.
Issue Two: You might be
familiar with the news that
The Hague Court has recently ordered the Dutch
government to lower greenhouse gas emissions. So the
story goes, a district court
last week ordered the Dutch
state to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions at a faster
rate than the government is
currently targeting. A judge
in The Hague said the state

must ensure that the Dutch
emissions in the year 2020
will be at least 25 per cent
lower than those in 1990.
Based on current government policy, the Netherlands
will achieve a reduction of
17 per cent at most in 2020,
which is below the norm of
25-40 per cent for developed
countries, a summary of
the ruling said. The decision was a victory for environmental group Urgenda
Foundation, which filed the
lawsuit on behalf of nearly
900 Dutch citizens. The
parties agree that the severity and scope of the climate
problem make it necessary
to take measures to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions,
the summary said.
Arising from this decision
is the obvious one, can this
happen in Australia? Apparently under existing laws
it cannot. Australian solicitor Sue Higginson, of community legal centre EDO

New South Wales, said the
Australian legal system was
quite different from that in
the Netherlands, making a
case here unlikely. We dont
have the same words in our
legal instruments as some
of those European countries
have, she said. For example
Article 21 of the Dutch Constitution provides, It shall
be the concern of the authorities to keep the country
habitable and to protect and
improve the environment.
Now that is a constitutional-enshrined obligation on
the part of the Dutch government. So we dont have
those kinds of provisions
with the Australian constitution and we dont really
find those kinds of words or
provisions even within our
state constitutions.
Ms Higginson said Australias environmental laws

didnt include such provisions either, so lawyers
would have to find an alternative basis for a case. So
it would really be now the
challenge for good public
interest creative lawyers to
look for opportunities as
to whether in fact these avenues are there and we just
havent discovered them
yet. Or really, and probably more on point, our laws
need to change to provide
these avenues. Here, here.
Issue Three: I read this recently and found it of some
interest. The following argument uses descriptors,
which can be a danger as
they can be used to simplify
a position, but it makes for
interesting reading, if nothing else. According to this
division we, of the early 21st
century, fall into one of two
groups, dynamists and

catastrophists.
Dynamists are people who
see 21st-century modernity
as a basically successful civilisation advancing towards
a future thats better than
the past. They do not deny
that problems exist, but they
believe we can innovate our
way through them while
staying on an ever-richer,
ever-more-liberated course.
Dynamists of the Left tend
to put their faith in technocratic government; dynamists of the Right, in the
genius of free markets. But
both assume that modernity
is a success story whose best
days are ahead.
Catastrophists, on the other
hand, see a global civilisation that for all its achievements is becoming more
atomised and balkanised,
more morally bankrupt,
more environmentally despoiled. Whats more, they

believe that things cannot go
on as they are: that the trajectory were on will end in crisis, disaster, dgringolade.
Like
dynamists,
catastrophists can be on the Left
or Right, stressing different agents of our imminent
demise. But theyre united
in believing that current arrangements are foredoomed,
and that only a true revolution can save us.
I guess those who regularly read this column could
guess which side this writer
falls on and which side our
prime ministers cabinet
falls on.
What is your opinion?

The key to moving house is

to plan ahead, ideally as early as possible before the day
arrives when you need to
shift an entire house full of
furniture and whitegoods.
You should be aware on

the day you successfully
bid at auction, or purchase
through a private sale, of
the settlement period on
your new house. If not, the
contract of sale specifies this
settlement period, which is
usually 30, 60 or 90 days. Assuming you are moving out
of your old home and into
your new one on settlement
day, thats how long you
have to get organised.
Make a plan as soon as possible, including the important tasks to hand over your
old home and take possession of your new one.

It should include key items

relating to getting organised
for the move - including,
close to settlement day, conducting a final inspection of
your new house.
The vendor must leave the
home as it was when you
Those rules apply to you,

too. If your house was in top
condition for sale, it pays to
leave it in a similar way. So
mow the lawn, fix any breakages and restore it close to
how it appeared when it was
sold, ahead of the handover.
Planning ahead avoids tackling those tasks at 5am on
settlement day.
If using a removal company,

ask for their moving checklist. Most companies have
one listing pre-move tasks
everything from redirecting
mail, reconnecting services
and changing your address
with utilities.
If your removal is DIY, it
pays again to be organised.
Pack as many boxes as you
can well ahead of the move,
especially the items you
dont need to access for some
time.
Many vendors will let you

take measurements during
the settlement period. If not,
its worth making as many
notes as possible when you
conduct the final inspection,
including the size of each the
main rooms in the house.
Remember to give the keys

for your old house to your
selling agents if they dont
have them. Collect your
new keys on settlement day
well before the removalists
arrive.
Longing to celebrate your
great new purchase? The
time to open that bottle is
after your move.

Why More RAM is better
When it comes to improving the performance of your

computer, increasing the amount of RAM is possibly the
most effective way of boosting speed and handling power.
What does RAM do?
AUTOMOTIVE
AUTOMOTIVE
Your computer uses Random Access Memory (RAM) to

hold program code and process instructions that you
give your software when computing. When you turn your
computer off, RAM loses the data that was used during
the computing session. When you restart your computer
the data from the operating system and the programs
you start is once again loaded into the computers RAM.
(Although modern RAM still retains small portions of data
as either dynamic DRAM or static SDRAM.)

The more RAM the better performance. It pays to have

as much RAM as your computer can cope with. All
computers ship with a specified amount of RAM, and most
mother boards have extra capacity to install additional

Kicking goals
up north
By Jessica Howard
They may be rivals in their
hometown, but Nick Stuhldreier and Matthew Young
have joined together as
teammates for the 2015 AFL
Goldfields tour.
Young, a Darley footballer
for a period of eight-years
and Stuhldreier, a Bacchus
Marsh Cobra since the age
of eight, left for far north
Queensland on Saturday
June 26 to verse representative teams from Cairns and
Townsville-Mackay.
The two Moorabool locals
joined 24 other under-17
players from Ballarats AFL
Goldfields group of leagues.
Played at the Cazaly Stadium, the tour saw AFL Goldfields reign in a 76-point win
over Cairns.
Contributing one goal
to the teams success and
taking out second-best on
ground, Stuhldreier said it
was exciting to play against
some good opposition.
I experienced what it was
like to play on an AFL standard ground and how to
play different roles Im not
used to playing, he said.
Four days later, the Goldfields team continued to
shine with a 104-point victory over Townsville-Mackay
at the Tony Ireland Stadium.
Young, who provided a
Nick Stuhldreier and Matthew Young with their club

presidents (L-R) Adrian Bettio and Matt Colley.

great performance kicking
one goal in each game, said
he couldnt believe it when
he found out he had made
the team.
I was stoked. Ive taken
the experience of playing on
some of the best grounds,
being in great facilities and
making connections with
new people that will be life
long friends, he said.
I hope my development
keeps going not only as a
player, but also as a person
off the field.
Stuhldreier kicked another

three goals in the final
match, and said he hoped
his future would see him
play in the bigger leagues.
I hope to play Western Jets
under-18 and hopefully Vic
Metro, then if Im lucky play
VFL or AFL, he said.
In its third year of touring
with an under-17 squad,
AFL Goldfields have seen a
number of players go on to
play senior football for their
respective clubs.

The Bacchus Marsh Womans Football team played Manor Lakes

(who were above them on the ladder) at Maddingley Park and had
a very successful day running out victors by 29 points.
This Saturday Bacchus Marsh travel across town to take on our

rivals Darley and as you could imagine, each of these games are
huge towards setting up an opportunity to play finals footy as we
head towards the pointy end of the season. Ensure you all come
down and give your support as town bragging rights are also up
for grabs.
On Sunday the Womans football team travel away to take on
Kyneton so please do yourself a favour and support these girls
who are having a good first season.

Round 12 v Rokewood
13&Under B - Another
impressive game from our
youngest up and coming
netballers, Ballan defeated
Rokewood.
13&Under
Wet and windy 6 degree
temperatures proved no
obstacle for the 13A team.
Despite cold hands, the
girls put in an amazing
team effort winning against
Rokewood by 22 goals. Erin
Vella was great through the
centre, while Hayley Taylor
made strong offers and fed
the ball beautifully into the
goal circle.
15&Under
Once again the defence
pressure of Nat and Cate
combined was fantastic as
well as the non stop efforts of
Allannah Vella in the attacking half. Excellent efforts by
all girls this week in such
tough conditions. Rokewood
19 defeated Ballan 8, Best on
court - Nyree McConnell.
17&Under
The goalers were working
exceptionally well with the
mid court , and with extra
help from the defenders,
they were able to capitalise.
A great second half saw the
girls push the lead out even
further, eventually winning
32 to 13. Best on Court - Sam
Trickey.
C Grade
Ballan started slowly allowing Rokewood to take
an early five goal lead but a
brilliant second quarter saw
Ballan level the scores going
into the last half. Ash Mackay in her 100th game was ex-
Sell it Local for Less
cellent in the midcourt, and

Tamara Hodge rewarded
the girls hard work with accurate shooting. Rokewood
scored a couple of quick
girls early in the last quarter
which saw them creep ahead
but the Ballan girls fought
hard again showing how far
they have come this season.
Rokewood 29 defeated Ballan 24. Best on court - Tamara Hodge.
B Grade
In a must win game for both
teams the pressure was on
from the very first whistle,
Rokewood snuck out to an
early 2 goal lead but excellent
defence from Kylie Fenwick
and Mel Conroy kept Ballan
in the game. Bec Conroy was
solid through the midcourt
in her 100th game for the
club, combining well with
the various midcourt combinations which included Kath
Lloyd in her first game back
from maternity leave. Despite taking a two goal lead
into the last quarter Ballan
quickly found themselves 5
goals down, a gutsy effort
from all players saw Ballan
take the lead with only a
few minutes to go and defeat
Rokewood by 2 goals. Ballan
28 defeated Rokewood 26.
Best on court - Mel Conroy.
A Grade
A strong start from Ballan
saw them take control of the
game and never look back.
accurate shooting from Broden Currie and Sam Peoples
allowed the girls to keep
extending their lead as the
match progressed. Defenders Peggy Shellard, Nicole
OBrien and Alex Shellard
were impressive as they
took intercepts and limited
Rokewoods attackers. A 14
to 5 final quarter saw Ballan
finish just as they started and
run away winners, defeating
Rokewood 48 to 23. Best on Court Alex Shellard.
