Welcome Faces
(L-R) Sarah Peckham, Chloe, Lainey and twins Lillian and Evelyn with Jayne Oliver, show off the new mosaic sign. Photo – Helen Tatchell

By Jessica Howard
There are four new smiling faces at St
Andrew’s Uniting Church playgroup –
and they’re all made from mosaic.
The Bacchus Marsh parish unveiled its
new colourful sign located at the front
door of its playgroup centre last month.
The welcome sign was created by a
group of playgroup mums with the help
of Sarah Peckham from the Wombat
Regional Arts Network and Darley
Neighbourhood House’s Chris Cocking.
Ms Peckham said she was contacted by
Jayne Oliver, who instigated the project.
“Jayne had this great idea, but no one
knew how to actually put it together, so
they contacted Wombat Arts for some
advice,” she said.
“The mums had a lot of fun designing
it themselves and then Chris, who holds
mosaic classes at Darley Neighbourhood
House all the time, provided them with
the tiles and space.
“Chris did an incredible job. It came
out really well and there was a lot of
wonderful community spirit throughout
the whole project”.
Playgroup mother, Jayne Oliver said it
was “really exciting” to finally see the
unveiling of the artwork.
“The mosaic sign was an idea I had
about two-years-ago. When I came to the
playgroup for the first time I thought,
‘is it here?’ and I tentatively opened the
gate, which made me think how nice it
would be to have a welcome sign,” she
said.
“I had the idea back then, but it took
a while to raise the funds. We had a
Moorabool Shire Council winter grant
and Darley Neighbourhood House
really looked after us by letting us use
their space. Sarah Peckham is the mosaic
guru, she helped in all of the workshops”.
St Andrew’s Uniting Church playgroup
is located on Gisborne Road, Bacchus
Marsh.

SEX OFFENDER
APPEALS
Welcome
By Jessica Howard

The masseur who sexually assaulted more than 20

women at a Darley Vitality Centre has won the right
to appeal his convictions, due to the neglect of an
ancient legal precedent.
Ronald Van Dorp was found guilty by jury verdict

Dr Rakhi Basu
on 26 out of 35 indecent assault charges in the
Geelong County Court in September 2015.
However, it has since been alleged that Judge
Felicity Hampel did not adopt the legal practice
known as the right to ‘peremptory challenge’.
In Victoria, during the empanelling of a jury in a
criminal trial, an accused person has the right to

The cover art was designed by local
illustrator Cecilia Clark, who also
contributed poems and stories to the
anthology.
Each Saturday, the Writer’s Craft group
meet to discuss writing, encourage one
another, participate in workshops by
published authors, tackle grammar and
refine their craft.

Communities
richer
Sometimes there can only be one winner, but there were 23
winners in the latest round of Council’s Community Grants.
The Summer 2017 round of Community Grants attracted 33
applications across the three program categories; Community
Strengthening, Events and Arts. A total of $112,813 was
requested with $70,000 available.
A report to the May 3 Council meeting said the Summer
2017 round was the first round where community groups
were able to submit their applications online.
“The response from community members in using the
online grant application was very positive with an 88 per
cent uptake,” the report read.
Moorabool will now have four new events take place
including a Networking event for isolated farmers (Pentland
Hills Landcare Group); a Community Barn Dance at Mt
Egerton; Refugee Realities Ballan will host a community
event celebrating diversity and promoting understanding of
refugees and Gordon will be the town to host a new annual
Community Fair.
Before councillors supported the recommendation to
approve the Grants at the May 3 council meeting, Cr Sullivan
had a few questions.
“Under the Events Grants; Refugee Realities Ballan – who
are they and is it likely the event could become political?”
“The group has been in operation for around two years and
their aim is to build an inclusive community that includes
and supports refugees ‘All are welcome’, this event brings
people together. We as a council celebrate Harmony Day,”
General Manager Danny Colgan replied.
The meeting also heard the event, to be held during Refugee
Week, would be a dinner with traditional refugee food and
music and showcasing the different cultures.

Death by neglect Ballan & District Community

By Jessica Howard
A young dog neglected for weeks by its
owner has led to an 18-month old Rottweiler
being euthanised. The man is now banned
from owning dogs for ten years.
Nahn Nguyen, of Melton West, appeared
in the Bacchus Marsh Magistrates’ Court on
Friday (May 5) charged with animal cruelty.
The court heard that on March 10
2016, Nguyen’s dog ‘Rocky’ was found
severely malnourished and weighing just
23-kilograms.
An RSPCA representative said a Rottweiler
of that size should normally weigh about
40-kilograms.
He said Rocky was severely malnourished
and had protruding ribs and bloody
discharge coming from its nose.
The court heard the dog was surrendered to

Future Plan
out for
comment
What was not in the Draft
Council Plan (2017-2021) was
more the issue than what
was in it at the May 3 council
meeting in Ballan.
Councillors Keogh, Bing-
ham and Tatchell put for-
ward their requests for addi-
tions to the Plan, with much
discussion.
The Local Government
Act 1989 (the Act) in Part
6 Section 125 determines
that Council must prepare
a Council Plan within six
so should be in the Plan. We
can then get an update later
from the Ballan Commu-
nity,” he said.
However, Cr Sullivan did
need see the need for it to
go in as “this is just a draft
plan to go out for public
consultation.”
“Where is it going to ap-
pear in the document?
That is what the public
will be looking at, not the
recommendation.”
“Health and Wellbeing is
year; 2017/18.”
As Cr Sullivan moved the
recommendation he accept-
ed the amendments because
“this is a draft and we will
sort it out in July”.
The Draft Council Plan will
be available for public com-
ment from 6 May to 6 June,
and the Draft Budget will
be available from 9 May to
6 June. For opportunities on

Cr. Jarrod Bingham asked
to “include feasibility of the
construction and location
of splash parks”, whilst Cr
John Keogh requested that
council “develop a plan to
improve and update and
beautify our neighbourhood
passive recreation and other
open spaces.”
But it was the omission
of the Ballan Recreation
Reserve Master Plan and
an updated Ballan Library
study that got up the nose of
Cr. Paul Tatchell.

Council Plan. It got men-

Toxic dumpers
More than $40,000 is what Moorabool
ratepayers are forking out annually as
illegally dumped asbestos throughout the
Shire escalates.
Council are having to hire contractors on a
consistent basis to remove dumped asbestos,
with Ingliston Road between Ballan and
Bacchus Marsh a major hotspot.
Moorabool Mayor Cr David Edwards said
the community is “being robbed” by the
person or people dumping asbestos.
“If these people are getting hired by
property owners to dispose of asbestos, the
property owners are getting a raw deal as
they’d be paying a fee for correct disposal.
Then it’s costing ratepayers large sums
of money as Council has to ring a special
contractor to remove and correctly dispose
of the asbestos.”
Cr Edwards said Council would start
monitoring hotspots, such as Ingliston Rd,
and have called on the community to report
any sightings of material being dumped
illegally.
“If anyone sees anything suspicious, we urge
them to phone Council or the Environment
Protection Authority. The sooner we catch
the offenders and stop the illegal dumping,
the better for everyone.”
Council can be contacted on 5366 7100 and
the 24-hour EPA Hotline is 1300 372 842.

King calls for

splash of cash
By Kate Taylor
In the lead-up to the federal
budget, Member for Ballarat
Catherine King is calling for
the federal government to
provide more cash for local
councils.
But her proposed solution is
just a band-aid fix, according
to Mayor Dave Edwards.
Ms King said more cash
could be provided by bring-
ing forward one quarter of
Financial Assistance Grants

FAG funding is only a band-
aid solution and does not ad-
dress the structural financial
disadvantage that Moora-
bool Shire faces as compared
to other Councils.”
Mayor Edwards said finan-
cial gain should be meas-
ured in the long-term, not in
the short-term.
“The bringing forward is
only a ‘boost’ if you look at
the 2017/18 year in isolation.
If the ‘boost’ is being paid
from 2018/19 FAG fund-
ing it is not really a boost
but merely a timing issue.
“Moorabool Shire is advo-
cating for a fairer share of
recurrent grants (of which
Financial Assistance Grants
makes up a significant por-
tion). Based on publicly
available information it be-
lieves that the Shire and the
community have been sig-
nificantly financially disad-
vantaged for a number of
years, compared to similar
sized councils and the Victo-
rian average.
“The bringing forward of
FAG funding is a band-aid
solution that does not ad-

It only takes
“This funding boost will
provide important cash flow
for all our local councils and
support local jobs,” she said.
Ms King said that the
amount would equal more

Moorabool Shire manages its

As a result, the brought for-

our community faces. Whilst
at the same time Moorabool

30 minutes
By Jessica Howard
Pentland Primary School
students have learnt the val-
ue of determination in sport
following a visit from star
Australian athlete Melissa
Duncan.
The middle-distance runner
attended the local primary
school on Wednesday (April
26) in order to encourage stu-
dents to get active.
Duncan’s visit came as part
of her role as an official cam-
paign supporter of Premier’s
Active April.
The campaign is part of
the Victorian Government’s
commitment to getting more
people active and healthy by
encouraging all Victorians
to do 30-minutes of physical
activity a day.
Duncan was selected to
compete in the Rio 2016
Olympic Games until she
broke her foot just 16 weeks
out from the competition,
forcing her to withdraw
from the Australian team.
“At first I just wanted to
quit,” she told Pentland’s
grade four, five and six
students.
“However, I soon realised
that I had a dream and there
was no point dwelling on the
negatives… A few setbacks
were nothing compared to
the experiences and friend-
ships that athletics had
given me.
“I started looking towards
the future and I vowed to
put all my training efforts
into my next incentive,
which is the Commonwealth

Myrniong Sprint
Competitors awoke to dark clouds and a wet track, but the road dried and the historic Myrniong
Sprint went ahead. But only until lunchtime when the heavens opened, and never closed.
Organisers said competitor numbers were low, as were spectator attendance. “This is not a
good day for us, but we run the event as we cannot predict the weather,” a spokesperson said.
The Myrniong Sprint was held on Sunday 9 April and is an annual event run by the Austin 7
club and the Myrniong community with proceeds to the Myrniong Hall. Photos Helen Tatchell

By Kate Taylor
When 65 women get togeth-
er in Ballan, there’s bound to
be a bit of fun.
And so was the case as the
Ballan Lioness Club hosted
the ‘breakaway weekend’…
which may have been as
much about breaking away
from the males as it was
about getting together.
“It’s like the Lions having
their convention… unlike
the men who are pretty for-
mal in their weekend, the
ladies go for a bit more fun,”
explained member Merilyn
Meadows.
With ladies from as far
away as Mt Gambier and
Tamworth attending, the
stage was set for that bit of
fun.
“On the Friday night we
had a dinner, and the Moor-
abool Mayor and his wife
were there, to welcome all
the ladies to the shire and to
the Lioness Club.”
Together, the ladies brought
back one of the all-time clas-
sics of entertainment.
“Each club had to do a skit,
and that was our entertain-
ment for the evening.”
Ms Meadows shied away
from describing her club’s
skit… but to be fair, it has al-
ways been the kind of thing
better seen in action.
The next day, two guest
speakers addressed the
group – one from the Black-
wood special school, and a
Ballarat historian who spoke
about the women of the
goldfields.
A tour of Ballan was set for
the afternoon, taking in Mill
Rose Cottage and the Step-
toe’s opp-shop, followed by
a dinner and an Irish band
that had the ladies up and
dancing.
“They had to dress up as
women of the goldfields,
so there were all sorts of
costumes.”
And the Sunday morn-
ing featured a bitter-sweet
occasion.
“We had a memorial service
for the Lionesses who are no
longer with us.”
Ms Meadows said trans-
porting the visitors from
Ballarat to Ballan and
around the area was “made
possible with a community
grant from the local Ballan
& District Community Bank
Branch.”

The coal conversation

Have you noticed on televi-
sion station SBS of late some
advertisements for coal? Yes
coal. These ads reflect a push
by the fossil fuel industry
to frame coal as necessary
for the growth of the devel-
oping world — an appeal
to generosity and positiv-
ity, rather than growth and
greed. It’s curiously similar
to the transition tobacco
companies have made, shift-
ing their marketing from
developed to developing
countries. This is a popular
public relations line for the
fossil fuel industry. The idea
originated in US think tanks,
funded by the industry, such
as the ‘Advanced Energy for
Life’ campaign. It’s insincere
and illogical.
In terms of the logic of
the claim, Mike Sandiford
points out in The Conversa-
tion that: ‘Given that cheap
coal has been around pow-
ering electricity systems
for over 150 years, why are
any children still living in
poverty?’ It’s a good ques-
tion for those pushing the
coal-cures-poverty PR line.
Chaitanya Kumar wrote
on the ABC’s site that: ‘The
answer of course lies in the
simple adage that you can’t
solve a problem with the
same thinking that created
it. With 40 per cent transmis-
sion and distribution losses
across the grid, a heavily na-
tionalised process of mining
and generating power and
the recent rise in consumer
tariffs, coal is not the solu-
tion but in fact the reason
that 300 million-odd Indians
continue to live in darkness.’
The World Bank has reject-
ed the concept that coal can
lift starving children from
the depths of poverty, in
addition to a wide range of
international development
and aid organisations. The
concept is simply wrong,
right to the core.
Also, as we continue to fight
against the coal lobbies and
all the associated attacks on
ourselves, and our planet,
we are often only too willing
to seek some sort of solace
in world leaders who are of-
fering an alternative to this
criminal behaviour. One
such world leader who has
been someone we have been
tempted to support as an en-
vironmentally friendly alter-
native is the Prime Minister
of Canada, Justin Trudeau.
However, as Bill McKib-
ben in The Guardian com-
ments, the news about Prime
Minister Trudeau is not so
good. Justin Trudeau is not
a knight in shining armour
coming to the planet’s rescue
but just like his neighbour-
ing countries leader, out and
out against action on climate
change. While his actions
and words are far superior
to his neighbours in terms of
asylum seekers and other so-
cial justice issues, his actions
on climate change are just as
destructive.
While the President of the
US, Donald Trump, openly
disagrees that we have any-
thing to worry about with
climate change and winds
back all the major environ-
mental programs in the US
to the extent that as The Los
Angeles Times puts it, “Don-
ald Trump’s foreign policy
and legislative agenda may
be a confused mess,” but
“his administration’s attack
on the environment is oper-
ating with the focus and zeal
of the Spanish Inquisition,”
Prime Minister Trudeau says
all the right things, over and
over. As Bill McKibben says,
“He’s got no Scott Pruitts
(climate denier) in his cabi-
net: everyone who works for
him says the right things.
Indeed, they specialize in
getting others to say them
too – it was Canadian diplo-
mats, and the country’s envi-
ronment minister, Catherine
McKenna, who pushed at
the Paris climate talks for a
tougher-than-expected goal:
holding the planet’s rise in
temperature to 1.5C (2.7F).’
Bill goes on. ‘But those
words are meaningless if
you keep digging up more
carbon and selling it to peo-
ple to burn, and that’s ex-
actly what Trudeau is doing.
He’s hard at work pushing
for new pipelines through
Canada and the US to carry
yet more oil out of Alberta’s
tar sands, which is one of the
greatest climate disasters on
the planet.’
Just recently, speaking at a
Houston petroleum industry
gathering, Justin Trudeau
got a standing ovation from
the oilmen for saying: “No
country would find 173bn
barrels of oil in the ground
and just leave them there.”
Yet again we stand in dis-
may at the ‘good and intelli-
gent’ leaders, and as always,
we are left to stand together
with those of like mind and
heart, and continue to fight
this arrogance and fantasy.
What is your opinion?

High house prices were
also recorded in the nearby
coastal town of Torquay,
which now has a median
of $707,500. This is almost
$80,000 higher than the
median house price in Mel-
bourne’s outer suburbs.
Meanwhile, Geelong’s me-
dian house price broke the
$700,000 barrier for the first
time in the March quarter
with a median of $701,000.
This was followed closely
by Newtown that recorded
a median house price of
$699,000 in the first three
months of the year.
Gisborne, north west of
Melbourne, has also ben-
efited from increasing de-
mand for housing within
commuting distance of the
city. The town’s median
house price has experienced
strong growth over the year,
topping $691,000 in the most
recent quarter.
Houses in the Ballarat
suburb of Lake Wendouree
are some of the state’s most
expensive with a median
house price of $660,000. Re-

Other towns recording

Plant Hire Solutions Australia Junior Football

The season opener for the Cobras was against Redan and
round 2 saw us up against Darley in the Closter/Thacker
Cup. We weren’t strong enough on the day to win the cup
however all the teams were competitive and have begun
to show off some of the skills they have been working on
in training. The Baby Black U 10’s put in a great effort for
both of their games showing off their new skills. The Taco
Bill U12s seniors have won both of their games however
our reserves are yet to score a win. The WBL U14s reserves
10 Church Street, Bacchus Marsh, and Seniors are both still fighting for a win having lost both
Melbourne 3340 their games. The PHSA U16.5s reserves have won both their 8/151 Gisborne Rd,
games however the seniors are still fighting after 2 losses.
Darley VIC 3340
The junior girls played a practice against Diggers Rest which
03 5367 5156 saw them celebrating a win. The girls put some amazing
(03) 5367 5680
pressure on Diggers Rest and it really payed off.
Covertite Junior Netball
Round one saw wins for all our reserves teams and our U17
seniors against Redan. Round two however Darley were too
strong with only our U15 reserves enjoying a win. The U15
reserves came out really strong took it all the way through
their game. Both U17 teams played some amazing netball
but seemed to drop away in the second half of their games.
Round 2 saw our juniors play against Darley for the inaugural
Closter- Thacker Cup. It was an exciting day however it was
Darley who ended the day stronger. We look forward to the
challenge of playing for the cup again next year at our home 7a Grant Street 3340
ground.
