A Ballan opportunity shop has reached

out to those affected by the recent
Lancefield fires.
Manager of Opportunity on Inglis,
Michaela Johnston said she was browsing
online when she saw a call out from the
Lancefield Op Shop.
Im on the I love to Op Shop Facebook
page and I noticed that there was a call out
for winter clothes. Lancefield residents
had been moved out of their homes when
they knew of the fires and they only had
about ten minutes to evacuate, she said.
Being a 35-degree day, they were all
wearing singlets and shorts and now
they cant get back into their homes and
its cold. When I found out, I rang the Op
Shop over there and told them that we
would love to make a donation.
Ms Johnston said with the help of
volunteers she began collecting clothes
from the shop racks and packing them
into bags.
We packed ten large bags of warm
clothing, with each bag designated to
either kids, babies, ladies or gents, she
said.
Everyone in Ballan is so generous that
we have plenty of stock to donate to those
who need it. I just think that what goes
around comes around and Im sure they
would do the same thing for us if we were
in their position.
Its going to be a long hot summer so we
have to look after each other, especially in
country towns.
The 4000-hectare blaze, which was
allegedly sparked by a governmentcontrolled burn-off in Lancefield, has
destroyed two homes, six sheds and two
vehicles.

Fine flora on display
Open
8am-6pm
7 Days
By Jessica Howard
Spring is in the air and with

it comes the second annual
Bacchus Marsh Horticulture
Show.
Founded by Joce Williams
in 2014, the show will feature everything from mosaic
gardens to poultry and floral
art.
Joce, a long-time supporter
of the local Agriculture
Show that concluded in 2001,
decided to reinvent the horticultural section, which was
believed to be the most successful part of the old show.
To be held over two days
from October 24, the show
will see seven entry sections
including roses, cut flowers,
floral art, Australian natives,
juniors, pot plants and garden produce. Each section
will be judged, with prizes
for first, second and third.
A number of workshops
will also be on offer from
local and surrounding businesses including Floral Art,
Bacchus Marsh Florist and
Nursery and Wal Johnson
from the National Rose Garden in Werribee.
Committee member, Karen
Mather said after last years
successful event, the plan
was to be very much bigger
and better.

Last year I didnt have a
very good idea about horticulture; as for me personally
it was just about helping to
organise the event for my
friend Joce, however I was
very surprised at how well
attended it was. There are so
many people that are really
into gardening and flowers
and it was great to see how
many people joined in, she
said.
Even with the show just
around the corner, the committee are already planning

for 2016 so they are obviously very content on continuing on and having the event
grow as much as possible
because it really is good for
the community.

students will feature alongside sausage sizzles and
scones, and a raffle with a
major prize donated by Bac-

The Horticultural Show

5pm Saturday and 9am to
4pm Sunday.
Schedules for the show are

Break down blackspot
By Kate Taylor
Plans to build a mobile phone tower

in Blackwood are on track but the
blackspot caused trouble for one broken
down councilor.
Allan Comrie, an East Ward Councillor
and also a bus driver, last week broke
down in the town and couldnt call
for help.
I was driving the school bus, and Id

just started so I hadnt picked anyone
up yet, and the bus broke down and I
couldnt call anyone to come and get us

out.
I could get text messages out to other

drivers to let them know Id be late - you
cant ring anybody, but you can send
texts, so I got onto the bus company
and they got a mechanic up there.
At the October council meeting, in
urgent business, Cr Comrie raised the
question of when the mobile phone
tower, set to be built in Blackwood will
eventuate.
Speaking after the meeting, CEO Rob

Croxford said it would be soon.
An application has been lodged,

advertised and referred, Mr Croxford
said.
If no objections have been received by
12 October, then the application can be
determined under delegation shortly
after that.
If
approved,
the
proponent
will have planning permits to
allow the construction of mobile
telecommunications infrastructure this
year.

Rookie seagull shares victory Long term future

for golf club
By Jessica Howard
A Darley teenager has
claimed his very own VFL
premiership medal.
Billy Myers, 19, represented
Williamstown
Football
Club on September 27 in a
54-point win over Box Hill.
Making his debut into the
Victorian Football League
earlier this year, Myers said
the win was the best day of
his life.
It was the first [grand final]
I had ever played in and to
be such a big one and to see
how much it meant to the
club made it so much better,
he said.
Commencing his football
career at Darley as an under-10, Myers went on to
play at the Western Jets in
the under-15 and 16 squads
before playing for Vic Metro
in the under-16 division.
He then continued to play
at the Western Jets for two
years as an under-18 before
the 23rd player rule allowed him to play his first
game for Williamstown in
2014.
Only recently re-introduced, the rule allows for
all non-AFL clubs to play
one player in addition to the
regular 22 players, as long as
they are under the age of 21.
I kept in contact with Williamstown after that game
and they told me that if I
wasnt drafted last year they
would love for me to be apart

Photographer - Cody Bench
of them in 2015, Myers said.

They waited until after the
draft last year and when I
wasnt picked up they contacted me and asked if I
wanted to sign on.
Myers said he always hoped
to play in a grand final,
however during the year he
began doubting the possibility due to the strength of the
squad.
But the coach made his
intentions clear that if I was

available when it came to finals then I was a big chance
to play because I was a
player he could play in many
positions, he said.
I would never have expected to play in a grand final at
19 and am very lucky to have
played in one, let alone win
one. The best part about the
premiership was seeing how
much it meant to the players,
coaches and supporters.

Myers said whilst he
hoped to be picked up by
an AFL club in the future,
he could also see himself
playing a lot of football with
Williamstown.
My first year has been really good down there. Theyre
such a professional club and
everyone down there are just
great people.
The Bacchus Marsh West

Golf Club is claiming exclusive rights to the management, operation and
maintenance of its site at the
Bacchus Marsh Racecourse
Recreation Reserve.
A new lease, approved
for public exhibition at the
October council meeting,
features a seven-year term,
with two additional sevenyear options.
The proposed term of the
lease is suitable given the
significant investment that
the Golf Club have already
made to the Reserve and the
future plans the Club has
to improve the facilities,
read a report tabled at the
meeting.
The report also stated that
an increase in water allocations would be granted
along with the lease.
The Golf Club proposed an
allocation rise of at least five
per cent, an increase of 5MgL
of councils water allocation.
However, the report states
that water rights fluctuate,
and while a negotiation for
amounts would occur when
100 per cent of allocations
are not available, it recom-
mended that an increase

of 2.5 per cent be granted
instead.
Any surplus water identified toward the end of the
third quarter each financial
year can be negotiated with
the Golf Club for allocation.
The report pointed out that
the water supply also irrigates other reserves, with
the demand for water at
the reserves expected to increase also as they are further developed.
A water trading policy is
currently being prepared
that will guide the process
for the trading of surplus
water allocation, and council
staff are also working with
Southern Rural Water sourcing water from a deep aquifer in the local area.
Given the length of the
lease, council is required to
put it on public notice for a
term of four weeks to inform
the public.
East Ward Councillor Dave
Edwards noted that he is a
member of the golf club, but
does not have a conflict of
interest as he does not hold
a decision-making position
at the club and is simply a
member.

Plan outlines
improvement
and
enhancement
By Kate Taylor
A six-year plan to develop
community capacity and social sustainability in Moorabool has been adopted by
councillors.
The Community Development Strategy 2015-21 came

before the October council
meeting with a recommendation for its adoption following a public exhibition
period earlier this year.
Developed through community engagement as well

as research into community
development practices at
other local, state and federal
government departments,
the strategy provides an
overview of the principles
and practices of community
development - and an action

plan for improving and enhancing community development activities across the
Shire.
A report recommending
that councillors adopt the
strategy stated that it provides future direction for
community capacity building and developing activities
for the Council to support its
community.
The Strategy will be implemented and evaluated by

the Community Development team in conjunction
with other Council staff and
community groups and government organisations, with
an annual review to be put
before council meetings.

Matt Barton has come along way in 19 years riding motor bikes, starting from a very young age! Photos submitted
Wild ride in Grand Prix
By Jessica Howard
Ballans Matt Barton has secured a wildcard entry into

the Australian Motorcycle
Grand Prix.
The 19-year-old will leave
for Phillip Island this week,
where he will compete in
the Moto3 class against the
worlds best.
Barton will join fellow wildcard winner Olly Simpson
and full-time Moto3 rider
Remy Gardiner, making it
three Australian riders in
the class.
Its pretty nerve wracking, he said.
Its my first world champ

event so theres a lot of different things going through
my head. In some ways
though its a relief as Ive
been trying for it for a long
time and its something Ive
really pushed for.
A long-term rider, Barton
said he had dreamt of riding
in the Grand Prix since he
was just four-years-old.
When I went to my first
GP I knew I wanted to get to
that stage and to actually get
there and be given a shot to
potentially be picked up by a
team and ride there full time
is a pretty awesome feeling,
he said.
Ultimately Id love to be
able to just get a bit of recognition. Im looking to move
over to the UK to ride so if
I could get over there and
have people know who I am
then it would help with the
level of support I would get.
Competing in the Australian Superbike Championships throughout the year,
Barton came in at third place
after four race wins, six second places, two thirds and
three DNFs.
He finished on the podium
in every race he completed
and also broke three lap
records in Queensland and

Western Australia.
Barton said whilst there
were a few mistakes, the
year as a whole had been really positive.
We finished third but were
only 15 points down so it
was very close and to finish
on the podium in every race
I completed is a pretty big
achievement as I dont think
anyone has ever done that in
the champs.
Barton will compete at the
Phillip Island Grand Prix
Circuit from October 16-18.

Cuba as we know it:
A question of now or never?

Its been a big year for Cuba on the tourism front. Following
on from President Obamas easing of travel restrictions for
Americans, the Cuban Ministry of Tourism reported a 52%
increase in American visitation for the first half of 2015 and
17% increase in traveller arrivals overall. The Caribbean island
nation was recently selected to host the 2016 Americas World
Tourism Organisation meeting, while Air China has announced
plans to start flying direct from Beijing to Havana. Even Pope
Francis stopped in for a visit. All of which begs the question:
is change afoot for the worlds truest communist state?
It would certainly seem so. President Raul Castros been
easing restrictions on private enterprise in recent years and
2016 is set to see international cruise liners chugging into
Cuban ports for the first time in over half a century.
What all this means for the Cuban people is a great unknown.
What it means for travellers looking to visit is not. If youve
been meaning to experience the Cuba you learnt about in
school that is, the Cuba of today the time is now.
For the moment at least, the worlds greatest geopolitical
anomaly is still everything that youd come to expect. Its a
capital city charmingly dilapidated; a street scene enlivened
by impromptu baseball games and a nightlife that never
sleeps. Its balmy weather, glorious beaches and clapped-out
Cadillacs. Its cigars, Che, rumba and, yes rum. But its also
a people and place thats seen out the past 60 years unlike any
other. Cuba is a country that has its very own tale to tell.
And its a tale best told by those whove actually lived it.
Now is the time to get an unparalleled insight into this country
on the cusp of change on a locally-led small group adventure
with Intrepid Tours. They have created their Cuba holiday
packages for all types of travellers that love music, food,
culture and life! Plus the tours have an average of just 10
people, so theyre small enough to feel like youre exploring
Cuba independently, but big enough to create a good social
vibe.
If you would like to know
more about the Cuba
experience, then book an
appointment with the award
wining Lesley Vass from
helloworld Bacchus Marsh
on (03) 5367 5151. Lesley
is in Cuba right now and
will have the best travel tips
and advice to share upon
her return.

HELLO
CUBA
VIVA CUBA!
Cigar smoke cloaks the air, 50s Fords chug down cobbled laneways and dapperly dressed old timers many whove actually lived
through a revolution while away long afternoon hours chatting on park benches. For the moment at least, Cuba really is totally
unlike anywhere youve ever been before though that may all change with international cruise liners soon set to start visiting.
Book before 23 October and experience the real Cuba for 10% less with Intrepid Travel or Peregrine. Valid for trips departing

New home and era begins
Wilsons Home Timber and

Hardware has opened its
doors at a new location.
The family-run Bacchus
Marsh
business
has
combined with their Timber
and Building Supplies store
in order to create a new
multi-purpose venue.
Co-owner Doug Wilson,
who runs the business with
his brother Jamie, said it had
become difficult to operate
out of two small shops.
The old Grant Street
location was our retail
hardware store and we also

had a bulk timber location
which was mainly for the
tradies, but the traffic made
it really hard to operate, he
said.
It
was
getting
too
congested on Grant Street so
we decided that it was much
easier to relocate to the one
large site.
Mr Wilson said the new
store covered a much larger
range across all departments.
Its twice the size of the
old place which gives us the
opportunity to offer a lot
more to the customers. We
cover a lot more departments

now too, like outdoors for
example, he said.
It is also an easier site to
get to and there are about 40
car parks available.
Officially
opened
on
October 5, Mr Wilson said
the new venue was already
very well received.
We have already seen a
lot of customers, some that
we havent seen before, that
have made comments on
how impressed they are
with the new site, he said.
The old Grant Street
location had been a hardware
store for nearly 100 years so

the community is obviously
familiar with it, but the
Wilsons have been involved
for a fair period of that time
and we will continue that on
from this location.
Passed down through three
generations, the Wilsons
have owned and operated
the business since the 1950s.
Located
on
1
South
Maddingley Road, Bacchus
Marsh, an official opening
of the store will be held in
November, with a date to be
fixed.
Key projects reviewed and prioritised
By Kate Taylor
Council has its priorities, and a newly

refreshed document has set them out in
print.
The 2015 review of the Moorabool
Shire Council Key priority Projects
Document features some big changes.
It includes greater detail on the four
Bacchus Marsh traffic improvements
projects; it puts greater strategic context
on the Shires recreation and small town
servicing requirements; it updates the
Parwan Employment Precinct; and it
includes the removal of Coal Mining.

The document also includes the
elevation of Dales Creek and Greendale
as the next highest ranking mobile
telecommunications priority locations.
A report prepared by council officers
and tabled at the October council
meeting stated that the previous
edition (May 2014) was updated to
reflect Councils progress, evolving
priorities - and the likelihood of an
imminent Federal election.
The advocacy document is used to
inform and lobby stakeholders and

decision makers about important
funding and policy requirements
within the Shire.
It has previously been successfully
used for projects including the Darley
Civic Hub Pavilion, the Darley Early
Years Hub, the mobile phone tower
in Blackwood; and the Halletts Way
Southern Extension (bridge over
Werribee River.)
The 2015 update was adopted by
councillors.

Benefits
of
volunteers
tabled
Snagged by
authorities
Concerns rise
for local man
By Jessica Howard
By Kate Taylor
By Jessica Howard
Moorabool Shire Council

now has a Volunteer
Strategy and a Volunteer
Policy in place.
The six-year Strategy and
Policy
were
developed
in direct response to an
internal volunteer audit
undertaken by Council in
February 2014, and were
officially adopted at the
October council meeting
following a public exhibition
period earlier this year.
The Strategy outlines the
benefits and importance
of volunteering in the
community and how the
Council can continue to
support
and
recognise
volunteers in the Shire.
The Policy provides a
statement
and
context
for how the Council can
support and manage its own
volunteers.
These documents will
provide
the
strategic
and
policy
basis
for
supporting and developing
volunteerism
in
the
Moorabool Shire into the
future, stated a report
tabled at the meeting.
The strategy and policy
are applicable to Moorabool
Shire Council volunteers.
Bacchus Marsh police are

appealing for public assistance to help find 46-yearold Keith Foggin.
The Bacchus Marsh resident
was reported missing on
October 1 after his daughter,
who he is known to keep in
regular contact with over the

A local butcher who fed swill to his pigs has been fined
$2,000.
Appearing in the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates Court on
September 18, the accused pleaded guilty to feeding and
allowing access to swill.
Swill is the traditional name for food scraps or waste that
contains or has come into contact with meat from a mammal.
A prohibited waste, it is illegal to feed swill to pigs in all
states and territories as it can carry exotic diseases.
Officers from the Department of Economic Development,
Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) visited the mans
property in Ballan and found approximately 30 pigs confined
to two paddocks, the court heard.
DEDJTR Regional Manager Agriculture Services Stephanie
Andreata said the paddocks contained several bones and
two whole skulls still containing soft fresh tissue.
The bones and skulls were seized, laboratory tested and
proved to be mammalian material.
Ms Andreata said swill feeding had been identified as the
most likely way for Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) to infect
livestock in Victoria.
In 2001 in the UK, swill containing the FMD virus was
illegally fed to pigs on a farm. Plumes of virus then spread
and infected sheep on an adjoining farm. she said.
Not showing any signs of the disease, the sheep were
traded at a local market, subsequently spreading the disease
all over Britain.
She said millions of livestock were slaughtered in an effort
to eradicate the disease.
Magistrate Cynthia Toose said the offence could have had
significant repercussions for livestock industries.
Prosecutor Adrian Serratore told the court that research
undertaken demonstrated that a medium sized incursion
of FMD had the potential to cost the economy $50 billion in
containment, eradication and effects on export markets.
The accused was fined $2,000 without conviction and costs
of $125.87.

PREPARING FOR THE 2015/2016 FIRE SEASON
Emergency services are forecasting that this years re season may start sooner and be more
severe than in previous years and as a result, Moorabool Shire Councils Municipal Fire Prevention
Ofcer will shortly begin the annual inspections for re hazards on properties within Moorabool.
Council and emergency service agencies work together throughout the year to ensure that the
community is educated on re prevention activities and mitigation works that can be carried out
to prepare our community for the threat of bushres. The majority of land within our state is
privately owned and Council encourages you to assist in ensuring that we are all prepared for
the forthcoming re season.
While the weather is cooler and wetter, it is time to plan for the coming re season. Prepare
a re plan and talk to your family about what you will do. Continue to take action around your
house and property.
For example:
Service and repair lawnmowers and brush cutters.
Keep grass short no more than 10 centimetres high.
Make space between plants and trees.
Clear fallen leaves and twigs from around your property on regular intervals.
Removing rubbish and built up fuels.
Clear gutters of built up leaves and twigs.
Establish and maintain rebreaks throughout the year and consider working in conjunction with
neighbours to reduce the risk on adjoining properties.
A year round maintenance program for your property is the best way to be prepared.
Please do not hesitate to contact Councils Municipal Fire Prevention Ofcer on 5366 7100
if you would like to discuss this information further or visit the CFA website at
www.cfa.vic.gov.au to get further property preparation advice.

The Commercial Hotel Ballan

Since taking over The Commercial Hotel Ballan, Joc
and Jill OConnor have made significant changes to the
Hotel. The Dcor has been updated and they continue
to make improvements.
Damien Tyter, a chef with more than 20 years experience
locally and overseas, has been a great addition to the
kitchen. His passion for food can be seen on the ever
changing weekly specials that he creates. He invites
people to come and experience a combination of
the pub standard food like steaks, parmas and fish
and chips, but also on offer are dishes like crispy skin
Atlantic Salmon on sweet potato mash with beans
and hollandaise sauce, as an example. He also invites
locals to enjoy a dining experience in Ballan rather than
leaving Ballan to dine elsewhere. The prices of our main
meals range from $16.00 to $21.00 and are great value
for money.
The addition of Friday nights Ballan Dinner Club has
been a great success. The Ballan Dinner Club meets on
the first Friday of each month. Originally set up to be a
meeting place for any newcomers to town as well as the
locals to get together. Continuing to be a way for new
residents to find out what is available in Ballan by mixing
with the locals. Everyone is welcome to come along...

its not a club as such, its just a gathering of friends (new
and old) to get together over a meal. When you book
ahead on your first visit, do let the staff know so they
can point you in the right direction and introduce you
to others. Drinks and meals are available from 6.00pm
onwards, with drinks at bar prices.
The Lounge area seats 50-60 comfortably and is also
available for private functions. Damien, our resident
chef, can cater to your needs. We have set up a clock
wall, that is being forever added to, as an interesting
talking point. In the lounge you can also enjoy comfort
on the couches whilst sipping on your favourite drinks.
When you visit the Commercial as a family we have some
great kids meals for the little ones... Chicken Schnitzel,
Chicken Parma, Fish and Chips, Sausages or Calamari
Rings all served with Chips and Salad or vegetables for
just $8.00 and if ice-cream is a favourite for dessert just
add $2.00.
Consider the Commercial Ballan for your next meal and
enjoy Good Food, Good Beer and a Great Atmosphere.

Policing in parks
By Jessica Howard
A project completed by Parks
Victoria has targeted off-road
motorbike activity in Bacchus
Marsh.
The multi-agency operation
provided a balance of education, customer service and
compliance in order to remind
residents of the affects that
off-road riding had on the
environment.
Focus areas included Lerderderg State Park, the Wombat
State Forest, Pyrete Range,
Gisborne Creek and Rosslyne
Reservoir water catchment.

Three riders were recently
issued infringement notices
after the creation of new tracks
at the Rosslyne Reservoir had
caused erosion and increased
sedimentation, affecting the
quality of Gisbornes water
supply.
In collaboration with Victoria
Police and the Department of
Environment, Land, Water and
Planning, the project also targeted firewood collection, fire
and vandalism.
Ranger team leader, Scott Nicholson said the operation was

a huge success.
The operation was timely, as
we are seeing an increase in
informal tracks being made by
some motorbike users, which
can cause serious environmental damage in sensitive areas,
including erosion, loss of plant
species and degraded animal
habitats, he said.
Off road riding also negatively affects other park users
enjoyment due to the damage
to natural values and noise on
walking tracks and off-road
areas.
Mr Nicholson said it was great
to see so many people out and

enjoying the park, but compliance with regulations was vital
for public safety and helping to
protect the environment.
A total of nine off-road riders were issued infringement
notices, with official warnings given for a fire offence
and a firewood collection
infringement.
Mr Nicholson said he was
pleased to note that Victoria
Police, Parks Victoria and
DELWP would collaborate on
future compliance and education operations.

a much-needed piece of
equipment.
This year has seen another
amazing stream of support

for our health service from
the entire community, he
said.
The current OPG x-ray machine that we bought when
we first set up our x-ray unit
will soon run out of warranty and it is used frequently
as part of our dental service.
Therefore it is the next major
piece of equipment that we
must upgrade in order to
provide the upmost service
to those who need it.
BDH&C Fundraising Manager, Tor Roxburgh said the
hospital was very grateful
for the communitys continuing generosity.
The community has a long
history of raising funds
to support BDH&C. The
money raised by local peo-
ple is spent on facilities and

equipment that could not be
provided if we relied solely
on government funding,
she said.
For elderly and frail patients, in-house medical
imaging is vitally important
as it reduces the trauma of
being transported to outside
hospitals for scanning. For
disadvantaged
members
of the community, it reduces barriers to accessing
healthcare.
The annual fundraising
event was made possible by
The Plough at Myrniong and
St Annes Winery alongside
the BDH&C fundraising
committee and a number of
local suppliers including Salvatore Regional Butcher.

Excellent response for awards

By Jessica Howard
Moorabools business community will celebrate the local
industrys best at a gala awards ceremony next week.
The Ballan Business Excellence Awards, sponsored by the
Ballan Chamber of Commerce, will recognise the regions
top businesses after the announcement of approximately 50
finalists.
Each business was placed in one of seven categories
including hospitality, home-based, local produce, trade and
manufacturing, community, retail and professional service,
and tourism and accommodation.
The competition was then narrowed down to three
contestants in each category, with the final winners to be
announced at the award ceremony on October 23.
Ballan and District Chamber of Commerce member, Peter
Whitefield said each category had their own judge, who
scored each business on certain sections out of ten.
Each independent judge rated the contestants on things
like their advertising structure, whether or not they had a
business plan, what was their new product range for next
year and whether they were a financially sound business,
he said.
Its really about identifying businesses that have shown
excellence in their processes.
The judges included Suzi Fitzpatrick (Local Produce),
Jeremy Johnson (Tourism and Accommodation), Andrew
Bradley (Trade and Manufacturing), Stuart McGibbon
(Home Based), John Hayes (Hospitality), Vicki Coltman
(Community) and Janice Ray (Retail and Professional
Services).
The judging panel will meet again prior to the awards
ceremony, where they will put forward their businesses for
selection in the Business of the Year Award.
Mr Whitefield said the inaugural awards were an excellent
way of recognising businesses through the eyes of the
customer.
A lot of these businesses do a lot of work behind the scenes
and dont get a lot of publicity or credit so these awards are
a way of rewarding those who are doing well, he said.
There is no doubt already that they have already proven
to be beneficial. Just from speaking with some of the
nominees, I understand that they already feel pretty special
just from receiving a visit from the judges. It makes people
feel like theyve been acknowledged for what they do.
The awards ceremony will be held at St Annes Winery on
Friday, October 23. Bookings are essential. To register, visit

Saving the planet; the glass is half full

A woman who recently
moved to the country from
the city for a life in the bush
this week faced a fire here in
Tasmania. While there were
not 200 fires in Tasmania, as
there were in Victoria, there
were still far too many and
for the first time in history
two total fire-ban days were
declared in early October.
The look on this womans
face as she described her fear
said it all. I, for one, used to
look forward to summer; not
any longer. Moving to the
bush used to be the dream
of many, perhaps it still is,
but maybe the number is
declining. This year, as now
more and more, South East
Australia faces a very troublesome summer. And this
is with a rise of 0.8 degree
and not the 2 degrees our
government has decided is

best for us.
In the face of this coming
fiery summer it does no one
any good to say we told you
so. We are way past that and
anyway it never works. The
main issue I believe is for
those fighting for the planet
to keep their spirits up. The
deafness and lack of any
seriousness of governments
and most businesses to take
climate change seriously
can indeed get you down.
So, this week I will dip my
feet again into some words
of Derrick Jensen to lift my
spirits. A changed captain
at the federal level will not
do it.
Who are we who are interested in the health of
the planet? Derrick Jensen

writes that, We are the people who no longer live in
hope that the Earth will be
saved, but in the certainty
that we will save her. We are
activists, survivors, lovers
and fighters. And we say: the
destruction will stop.
We are people who do
not resign ourselves to the
fate we are so often told is
inevitable.
We are people who refuse
to continue as slaves. We are
people who are remembering how to be human beings.
We are people who are ready
to take back our own lives,
and to defend our lives and
the lives of those we love,
including the land.
We are survivors. We have
survived domestic violence.
We have survived racism,

and we have survived sexism. We have survived industrial schooling, and we
have survived the industrial
economy. We have survived
television. We have survived
the toxification of our total
environment.
And we are ready to fight
back.
We are lovers, lovers of the
land, lovers of each other,
lovers of our own bodies,
including our emotions. We
love. We hate. We feel joy,
despair, sorrow, outrage,
happiness, anger. And we
are ready to fight back.
We speak for the soil, for
the wind, for the snow, for
the ice caps. We speak for
the phytoplankton, and we
speak for the insects. We
speak with voices that are

no more and no less than
the wind moving in and out
of our bodies, over our vocal cords. We speak for our
homes, and for our neighbours, and we will be heard.
They will be heard. And we
are ready to fight back.
We are people who have
realized that unless it is
stopped, civilization will kill
everything on the planet. We
are people who have realized that civilization is guided by an urge to destroy, and
we are people who have realized that civilization is not
reformable.
We are people who understand deep within our bodies that fear is the belief that
we have something left to
lose, and with all the world
at stake we are ready to fight
back.
We are people who are putting those who would kill
the world we love on notice.
You must stop. Now. You
will stop. Hear this as you
have never heard anything
before. You will stop. We are
ready to fight back.
And we are going to win.
We are those who will
never forget that the Jews
who participated in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising had a
higher rate of survival than
those who went along.
We are those who are on
the side of the living, and we
are going to win.

Enzo Raimondo
CEO, REIV
A first class, family future in the prized location, could be

yours to enjoy with this impressive 1193m2 corner allotment
to Lay Street. This brick veneer residence is presented with
the utmost style and class and boasts: three bedrooms, a cosy
lounge with gas heating, spacious kitchen and meals, bright
family room with split system and an enviable alfresco zone.
The hub of the home is the designer galley style kitchen with
long island bench, feature tiling and quality appliances which
adjoins a light open casual meals area. The formal dining room
is saturated with natural light from the signature windows that
surround the table and give the home its individuality. The
master room is a real winner, with a luxurious two way ensuite
with step up corner spa, whilst the minor bedrooms offer built
in robes.
Inspect: Wednesday 14th October 5.00 5.30pm.
While best known for its affordability, around 80 homes

in regional Victoria have
sold for at least $1 million in
the year to date.
The latest REIV data shows

coastal locations, in particular those within commuting
distance of Melbourne, were
home to some of regional
Victorias most expensive
properties.
The states highest residential sale so far this year was

in Barwon Heads on the
Bellarine Peninsula, where
a four-bedroom home sold
for more than $3.5 million in
January.
With a median house price
of $811,000, Barwon Heads
has recorded several sales
well above $1 million this
year including a $1.9 million sale in September while
a smaller, three-bedroom
property there went for $1.52
million in May.

An additional 10 homes in
the coastal town have garnered a sale price of $1 million or higher in the year to
date.
In Geelong, a four-bedroom
home sold for more than
$3 million in February and
another for $2.5 million in
August well above Geelongs median house price of
$580,000.
Larger homes were also in
demand at the top end of
the market in Ocean Grove
on the Bellarine Peninsula
with a five-bedroom home
snapped up for $1.6 million
in April after being on the
market for just 16 days.
So far this year more than
10 homes in Ocean Grove
have attracted sales prices
above the $1 million mark
considerably higher than
the median house price of
$523,500.
Quality three and four-bedroom homes in the Ballarat
suburb of Lake Wendouree
have also been popular with
buyers, with seven properties this year selling for in
excess of $1 million.
Other areas attracting top
sales include the Bendigo
suburb of Kennington as
well as Paynesville and Foster in the Gippsland region.
Likewise, the Geelong suburbs of Newtown, Waurn
Ponds, Highton, Mount
Moriac, Manifold Heights,
Hamlyn Heights, Drumcondra and nearby Wallington
have all recorded million
dollar sales this year.
Point Lonsdale, Clifton
Springs, Curlewis and Portarlington on the Bellarine
Peninsula have also seen
sales of at least $1 million in
the year to date.

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.

Avenue Bowling Club

After showing some consistent form in the four preseason practice matches, Avenue Bowling Club started
the season proper last Saturday 10 October.
Despite the Club losing
some 30 players from last
season, including the majority of players in the Premier
Division, there was still
some optimism within the
Club, following some solid
performances in the practice
matches.
Premier Division - Made
the journey down the highway to Ocean Grove in what
was always going to be a big
ask against a side that boasts
Victorian and National play-
ers. Newly appointed skip

Grant Stirlings rink performed admirably, despite
going down by 14 shots.
They were only 5 shots adrift
after 19 ends, however their
powerful opposition picked
up 9 shots in the last 6 ends
to win by 16.
A similar story for Pat Considines rink who trailed all
day but finished strongly to
go down by 13 shots, in what
was the best performed Avenue rink. Unfortunately
for the other 2 rinks it was a
bad day at the office against
much stronger opposition
and they lost by a collective
56 shots.
Final scores - Avenue 68 lost
Ocean Grove 141
Division 2
Having been promoted
from Division 3 after winning last years Grand Final
Avenue took on Webbcona.
Led by strong performances
by Bill Hawkens rink (11
shots up) Stewart Wilsons

rink (10 shots up) and Peter
Glass rink (1 shot up) Avenue ran out winners by 15
shots over a very competitive opposition.
Final scores - Avenue 95 def
Webbcona 80
Division 5
Avenue took on Sebastopol
on grass and, although they
were not successful, certainly showed enough to suggest that they will be most
competitive this season. Di
Hardiments rink performed
best with a 6 shot win, and
was well supported by Peter Kays rink (3 shots up),
whilst first time skip Ray
Humphreys rink salvaged
a draw. Unfortunately Oscar
Mauffs rink, whilst finishing strongly, gave away too
much start to go down by 15
shots.
Final score- Avenue 83 lt
Sebastopol 89
Shani Bullard equalling the High Jump record.
Bacchus Marsh Little Athletics

announced.

Ballan Bowling Club
By Scot Nicholson
Division 3 v Buninyong
Ballan took full advantage
to cruise past Buninyong
with a 12-shot victory in
Division Three on Saturday.
An integral part to starting
the Ballarat District Bowls
Division Weekend Pennant
season on a positive note
was the performance of the
rink led by third Jordan
Steen, which had a dominating 23-shot triumph.
Its always important to
clinch an overall win and its
even better to do it in round
one, Steen said.
Our rink worked well
together from the opening
bowl and never looked back.
When you dont lose a shot
until the 10th end then its

clear that youre putting
pressure on your opponents
effectively and it helps the
rest of the side out too.
Leading into afternoon
tea with a slim nineshot
advantage,
Ballan
looked to carry momentum into the second half.
Buninyong managed to
claw back as they picked up
multiple shots following the

break, but it wasnt enough
to silence the strength of
their opponents who used
the home ground advantage
to control the game flow.
Dave Myers rink fought
gallantly to force a draw on
the final end by claiming
a single shot, while both
Coffey and OHanlon each
suffered defeat on the day.
Division Three will face off

against Creswick next weekend, which endured a significant loss against Beaufort
Golf in the opening round.
The reigning back-to-back
Division Nine premiers will
commence their pennant
campaign next weekend as
strong contenders for the
title.
