Crafting for community

MOORABOOL MAKERS – (back) Liz and Marilyn with (front) Juanita, Dot and Nicki with some of their handiwork. Photo – Helen Tatchell
By Meg Kennedy
Two craft groups in the community have
each been given grants to continue their
work in helping those most vulnerable.
Moorabool Makers and Bacchus Marsh
Friendship Quilters received a combined
$1,850 from Moorabool Shire Council
earlier this month as part of the Round
2 Community Grants.
Moorabool Makers - which received
$900 - will go toward supplies such as
knitting needles and containers.
The group began in July last year and
meets twice a week at the Lerderderg
Library, creating items such as quilts,
clothing and toys for knitting charity
KOGO, who distributes the items to
vulnerable people in the community.
Moorabool Makers member Elizabeth
Wadeson said the group has created
“around 120 items, but we’ve lost count!”
Ms Wadeson said the group allows her
to be “able to help the most vulnerable
people in the community.”
“You know you’re doing something [for
others], and you never know where it’s
going to end up. You don’t know who is
in the community,” she said.
Another grant recipient working with
KOGO is Bacchus Marsh Friendship
Quilters, a 35-year strong group that
creates items, including an annual
‘charity quilt’ to use as a fundraiser for
various charities.
The group received $950, which will go
toward purchasing materials.
Both groups are open to new members.
Moorabool Makers meet Mondays
6-8pm and Wednesday 1-3pm at the
Lerderderg Library.
For more information, contact Elizabeth
on 0409 137 738.
Bacchus Marsh Friendship Quilters
meets on the second Tuesday of the
month, between 9.45am to 2.00pm at The
Laurels.

Home for household waste

Putrescible – is this the word that

is causing angst in the commu-

and report suspected plants to Agriculture
Victoria.
Agriculture Victoria Biosecurity Officer,
Deven McPhan, said orange hawkweed has
recently been found on properties, roadsides
and gardens in the Blackwood, Daylesford
and Trentham regions.
The sightings were reported through Ag-
riculture Victoria’s Weed Spotters network,
which is made up of members of the public
who play a key role in detecting and report-
ing State prohibited weeds in Victoria.
Orange hawkweed is a State prohibited
weed, which is the highest category of de-
clared weed in Victoria due to the risk they
pose to agriculture, the environment and
social amenity. State prohibited weeds are
managed with the aim of eradicating them
from Victoria.
Mr McPhan said it is a very aggressive com-
petitor for light, soil nutrients and space and

can cause significant harm to ecosystems
by restricting the growth of neighbouring
plants through the release of chemicals into
the soil. This results in native plants being re-
placed by a dense mat of orange hawkweed.
“Biosecurity Officers control orange hawk-
weed at various sites around Victoria that
were planted when the species was traded,
prior to its declaration as a State prohibited
weed in 2003.”
Orange hawkweed is easily identified by its
bright orange daisy-like flowers with square
ended petals. The flowers are up to 15 mm
across and arranged in clusters on the stem.
If you find orange hawkweed, please do not
attempt to treat or dispose of this weed. Ag-
riculture Victoria will treat, remove and/or
dispose of it at no cost to the landowner.
All sightings of orange hawkweed should
be reported to Agriculture Victoria imme-
diately by calling 136 186 or emailing weed.

Ex-Cobra now a Devil

By Todd Whelan

It’s official, Trent Angwin will play for Darley

in the 2019 Ballarat Football League season.
The offseason movement of the 2016 Bacchus
Marsh Premiership defender has been the sub-
ject of wide spread interest given his intended
club happens to be cross town rival Darley.
Angwin was recently granted clearance from
the Cobras and is now a registered Darley
player.
And according to Darley coach Heath Scot-
land, Angwin could not have been more im-

By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A 50-year-old Bacchus
Marsh man has been sen-
tenced to three months
behind bars after facing
charges of unlawful assault,
threatening to cause serious
injury and contravention of
an intervention order.
The accused, who the Moor-
abool News has chosen not
to name to protect the vic-
tim, appeared in the Bacchus
Marsh Magistrates’ court on
February 15 before Magis-
trate Gregory Robinson.
It was alleged by the pros-
ecution, Senior Constable
Lisa Schoemaker, that on
December 21 of last year
the accused verbally abused
his partner after he began
drinking at nine o’clock that
morning.
Ms Schoemaker told the
court the accused shouted
at the victim, telling her he
would “cut off [her] finger
with the engagement ring
on it and smash it with a
hammer”.
When the victim then at-
tempted to leave the prem-
ises, the accused spat in her
face and kicked her, threat-
ening her by saying “you
don’t know what you have
coming”.
The accused was arrested
on December 22 and made
admissions to arguing and
threatening the victim,
but that he “would never
go through with them [the
threats]”.
“This is pretty serious be-
haviour,” Magistrate Robin-
son said. “Your conduct is
inexcusable.”
The accused was sentenced
to three months jail having
already served 56-days of
his sentence.

Cobra’s and the 2016 BFL Premiership Cup.
Angwin’s size and aerobic capacity will give Photos - Facebook
Scotland the flexibility to pick and choose
where he plays depending on the opposition
and given match situation.
“While Trent has played predominately in
defence, we think he is capable of playing
multiple roles,”
Scotland said.
“He could even play on a wing or as a big
bodied midfielder.”
The Devils will be hoping to improve on an
injury plagued 2018 and overcome the loss of
Dylan Reid (Ruck), Rhys Ellis (key tall), Luke
Delahey (half back), Steve Kennedy (mid) and
Abe Kur (utility) in the off season.
The marquee signing of Nick Graham (Carl-
ton), the addition of Josh Pickess (Williams-
town) and now Trent Angwin is a step in the
right direction.
Angwin, a product of the Bacchus Marsh jun-
ior program, played 64 games for the Cobras.

WELCOME TO DEL RIOS CELLAR DOOR & CAFE

A wonderful view awaits you when you drive up to del Rios Café and cellar door. Whether you sit on the terrace, or
inside behind the huge picture windows, you can’t fail to be impressed with the sweeping vistas of the Brisbane Ranges
and Geelong. You’ll receive a warm Spanish welcome when you visit del Rios. Enjoy your lunch at the café and you can
taste some of the award-winning wines, along with delicious traditional Spanish tapas such as paella, Spanish chorizos,
Albondigas (meatballs) and our popular Anakie Wagyu burger. The café menu thoughtfully lists a suggested del Rios wine
to try that will best accompany each dish. Great coffee and homemade blueberry crepes or apple pie are a perfect finish.
The café is open every weekend from noon until 4 pm. Between 11 am and 5 pm the cellar door is open offering wine
tastings. You can also buy wine here to take home with you. Whether you’re a wine lover or a fan of Spanish cuisine,
a visit to del Rios is a must. There is live music every third Sunday of the month. Just 20 minutes drive from Geelong;
you’ll enjoy the scenery nearly as much as the food and wine.

Start your Dream

By Kate Taylor
lucky?
It was a hard-fought battle, but a landowner has been granted, an out of the ordinary, fifth
extension on a planning permit application.
The Conroys Lane property consists of four titles over an area of nearly 10Ha with an existing
planning permit issued back in 2006 to build one house over the four Lots.
Council had originally refused that application and it was issued by the Victorian Civil and
Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) – but on the condition that all four Lots be consolidated into
one.
Since then, over the past 12 years, nothing has happened on the land and the site has not
yet been consolidated, with the applicant, Ramon Jiminex, telling council on the night that
the reason was because of issues with the water authority - but the paperwork states that it is
because of ‘financial difficulties.’
“The length of time for this permit is long and unusual, but so is what we have done since
last time I sat here, and we are getting nowhere in that process,” Mr Jiminex told the meeting.
Councillors raised questions about why the Lots have not yet been consolidated, whether a
builder had at least been engaged and even why the matter was again before council when
the applicant had previously promised that building would commence – to which Mr Jiminex
had a reply.
“I did say I could not guarantee you would not see me again,” he said.
Councillors debated the extension, with East Ward Councillor Tonia Dudzik stating that
“Remember, this was going to be the last time, I think we have been very generous – we have
timeframes for a reason.”
Woodlands Ward Councillor Pat Toohey argued that “it’s the Aussie test of a fair go – they
were kicked in the guts in the first place, the water authority agreed to give them the permit
then it went to VCAT with enormous cost and stress in the process, they were told they could
have four, then one and now none. This deserves an extension – history says they were done
over.”
With councillors Tom Sullivan, Pat Toohey and Jarrod Bingham voting against refusing the
extension, Mayor Paul Tatchell said to the applicant “Promise me you will build a house, and
I will vote against the refusal.”
Councillors Bingham and Toohey put forward an alternate recommendation, to extend the
permit for another two years which was passed.

Cool
grant
The installation of a heating and cooling system has been
welcomed after temperatures soared well in to the high 30s
last week.
A $5000 Round 2 Community Grant from Moorabool Wind
Farm to the Ballan Bowling Club will see the club’s members
more comfortable on hot days.
“The clubrooms have a bit of age on them and we have an
older style evaporative cooler, but this system is much better,
and we thank Moorabool Wind Farm for the opportunity to
be able to source community funding,” said BBC Secretary
Mick Conroy.
“The members will appreciate cool clubrooms on match
days and of course for all our functions during the year,” he (L-R) Paul Diedrichs (Goldwind) tests the new reverse cycle system with Mick Conroy (Ballan Bowling Club Sec.) and Julie
said. Dargan (Moorabool Wind Farm). Photo – Helen Tatchell

Cobras all aboard the Davey train
Moorabool News’ Todd Whelan chats with new Bacchus
Marsh Football coach Peter Davey.....
WHELAN: Peter, thanks for your time. How are you fitting
into your new role as Senior Coach of Bacchus Marsh?
DAVEY: I’m loving it. It’s very different from the previous
clubs I’ve coached - definitely a step up on the professional
side of things. My job has been made easier by the want of
the playing group to succeed having experienced the feeling
of a premiership (2016), then missing out (2017) and last year
bowing out in week one (of the finals).
WHELAN: You came to the club with glowing praise from
respected footy names such as Mark Neeld and Marty Chris-
tenson - that must give you added confidence to know you
can make a difference?
DAVEY: I wasn’t aware of that, that’s nice to know.
WHELAN: Sources tell me you’ve watched every game of
the Cobras in 2018. Firstly, what impressed you and secondly,
what were the obvious areas in need of improvement?
DAVEY: That is true (watched every game). I liked the way New Cobras coach Peter Davey (left) will be hoping to

Five-star ton for Hyatt
Darley Cricket Club By Todd Whelan
BCA First Grade
West Indian import batsman Danza Hyatt has blazed
his way to an unforgettable hundred, a milestone that has
eluded the dynamic opener in his previous eight innings
since joining the club.
Hyatt’s 107 that included 16 fours, has set up the Lions with
a prime opportunity to secure the points against the fifth
placed Wendouree at stumps on the first day.
The Lions finished the day all out for a season high 300, an
achievement that brought smiles to all involved at the club,
most notably coach Mick Alexander.
“We spoke at the start of the day about compiling a big score
together considering we hadn’t really done that well when
batting first this season,” Alexander said.
“We were able to execute on that plan really well.
“We had great partnerships and were able to keep the
momentum rolling and the scoreboard ticking over.
“Danza was outstanding at the top.
“He’s obviously played at the highest level and really is a
class above,” Alexander said.
Despite the achievements of Hyatt, questions would be
asked of the Lions’ middle and lower order to build on the
score of 3/173 after the centurion was dismissed, caught at
cover.
With Hyatt joining opener Lachie Herring (24) and the in-
form Rick Moore (0) back in the pavillion the onus swung on
Alexander (43), Joel Cadman (21) and Andy Metcalfe (32) to
take over the controls. Bradley Barnes (27), Ryan Ali (15) and
David Hoey (10) would also make valued contributions to see
the Lions through to an intimidating 300.
Alexander acknowledged the fight from his troops right
through the order.
“We bat really deep, but we haven’t been able to put it
together this year,” Alexander said.
“Yesterday we showed what we are capable of.
“Our number seven, eight and nine could easily bat top six.”
While the Lions find themselves in a commanding position
at the halfway mark, Alexander was well aware the game
was far from over.
“This week we will be looking to attack early which has
always been our plan,” Alexander said.
“Wendouree go pretty hard at the top and always gives
chances so it would be nice to get a couple (of wickets) early.
“I’m confident we have the runs on the board and the variety
in our bowling attack to get the job done.
“We have a real chance to finish off the season well,”
Alexander said.

Bacchus Marsh Cricket Club By Todd Whelan
GDCA McIntyre Premier Firsts
A relentless Bacchus Marsh bowling attack has ripped
through a struggling Wallan to be in the box seat of a sixth
straight victory and minor premiership honours, at stumps
on day one of the final round.
The Bulls had six wicket takers in their seven-pronged
attack and were able to overcome the oppressive heat and
a defiant opening stand, to dismiss the winless Wallan for
130. The Magpies opening pair put on 65 for the first wicket
before Bulls spearhead Madushanka Ekanayaka made the
breakthrough that would spark the game changing collapse.
Wallan’s capitulation could not be made more evident than
on the scoreboard. Once 0/65, then all out for 130. It would be
the sixth game in a row that the Bulls attack have kept their
opposition under 160.
Bacchus Marsh playing coach James Lidgett who was
a notable absentee from the Bulls line-up with injury,
applauded his team’s effort in the field.
“We battled hard in the heat and stuck to our game really
well and backed up our bowlers (with seven catches).
“When we executed our skills, we managed to get back on
top,” he said.
Lidgett highlighted the contribution of Ian Spiteri (3/30) and Bacchus Marsh Little Athletics
