BELOW: Part of the huge crowd that filled Inglis Street in Ballan on Sunday for the annual Autumn Festival. Photos Helen Tatchell By Jessica Howard Thousands ocked to Ballan on the weekend for the towns annual Autumn Festival, transforming the main street into a 70s retro wonderland. The annual themed event for 2014 was Back to the 70s, held in the main street of Ballan, saw thousands of onlookers lining the streets dressed in getups from the 70s, continuing the towns tradition of a free, community-oriented event. Local residents, businessowners, visitors from Ballarat, Melton, Melbourne and Geelong, and family and friends enjoyed the sights and sounds of these years events, including a grand parade, art and pet shows, wood chop, a 70s fashion show judged by Nene King, and endless street stalls and displays. Local schools took to the streets donning outts from Elvis to classic seventies oral suits and the infamous safari suit, as they marched through the parade. St Brigids PS Principal, Peter Johnson said the community sold hot dogs as their fundraiser, raising close to $600. We ran out of hot dogs. We could have sold more but are very happy with what we have raised, he said. This festival unites the community as a whole and the school stall unites the new and existing families. This was a fabulous day and had a wonderful atmosphere, Mr Johnson said. Chairperson of the festival Helen Tatchell was overwhelmed with the visitors to the town. Unbelievable is probably the best way to describe it. The committee has worked hard all year and the effort has been enormous. The contributors, sponsors and everyone that came to the event must be congratulated.

Wind back the clock

By Jessica Howard As the end of daylight savings approaches and the clocks are turned back, Victorian re services urge all householders to change their smoke alarm batteries too. In 2013, the CFA recorded 17 preventable residential res in the Moorabool area, with an estimated loss of $671,000 from these res. The annual Change Your Clock, Change Your Smoke Alarm Battery campaign found that as many as 70 per cent of parents are not planning ahead and organising to change the batteries. In 2013 Victorias re services attended more than 3500 house res. The res resulted in 12 fatalities and $88 million in property loss. CFA Deputy Chief Ofcer Steve Warrington says re services cant emphasise

enough the importance of working smoke alarms. We know the time we ask everyone to change their smoke alarm batteries seems to come around quickly each year but the statistics alone should raise
the alarm for all Victorians. Without working smoke alarms you are four times more likely to die in a house re, he said. Waiting for the battery to go at can be too late. Victorians are placing them-
selves in danger by failing to ensure they have working smoke alarms, according to the latest research, Ofcer Warrington said. Daylight savings ends on Sunday 6 April, 2014 at 2am.

Bacchus is best
BACCHUS Marsh is Australias third best regional place to live. In a recent national research survey, Bacchus Marsh ranked third in the best regional locations in Australia for families to live, just behind Orange in NSW (1) and Wallan (2) in Victoria. Ballarat ranked 47 and its suburb Alfredton came in at 71. The national survey conducted by market research company RP Data for Aussie Home Loans ranked destinations based on a range of factors including house prices, typical block size, average number of bedrooms, historical capital gains and proximity to amenities like schools, health and child care, and retail. Moorabool Shire mayor Paul Tatchell was thrilled but not surprised with Bacchus Marshs nation-topping ranking. This national survey reects what a lot of families living in Bacchus Marsh and Moorabool Shire already know that Moorabool Shire is the best place to live, work, invest, visit and bring up a family. Cr Tatchell listed housing options and affordability as competitive advantages he believed made Bacchus Marsh attractive to families. The existing housing on large blocks tend to suit families, plus affordable land and a range of new house and land packages provide plenty of options for families, and they are nearly all already hooked up to the NBN. He said the setting also appealed to families. Its a stunning area set in a fertile green valley with rivers, orchards, avenues and bike paths; its a mystery to me why more families havent settled already. He said local amenities such as the hospital, choice of primary and secondary schools and even its free parking were part of the attraction. Its self-contained without being isolated. If you do need to go somewhere, just take the toll-free highway or the frequent and reliable train service gets you to Melbourne CBD in about 40 minutes. The high national ranking came following a Moorabool Shire population growth of more than two per cent, which was faster than the state and national averages. Cr Tatchell said this growth would bring new possibilities, providing the growth was managed and local employment was created. The popularity of Bacchus Marsh can trigger a more diverse community and drive local economic growth and job creation. As families move in, the potential for more locally based jobs required to service those families increases, he said. The more new families see their prosperity or livelihood linked to the town - and can contribute to it - the more vibrant, passionate and progressive the community is likely to be.

Pilgrimage to Ta Pinu
THE Bacchus Marsh Good Friday Association will bring its award winning Easter pageant to Bacchus Marsh throughout April. Association member Lewis Stafrace said while the celebrations were religious, they were also educational, historical and colourful. Weve conducted the Easter celebrations every year since 1984 and this year we will celebrate our 30th year of these activities, he said. Mr Stafrace said the pageant included an Our Lady of Sorrows pilgrimage on Saturday, April 5, a Good Friday passion pageant on Friday, April 18 and an Easter Sunday Feast of the Resurrection on Sunday, April 20. He said the pageant involved up to nine truckloads of equipment such as life sized statues of biblical characters. From 1984 to 2012 the pageant was held at St Albans and it won Brimbank City Councils event of the year in 2003. Mr Stafrace said the association moved the celebrations to Bacchus Marsh so that they could be held in a more suitable and private venue, with access to storage for their equipment. The events will be held at the Our Lady Ta Pinu Shrine, All Nations Marian Centre, Flanagans Drive, Bacchus Marsh. For more information phone 5367 7006.

Panel to decide Underbank future

A STATE government planning panel will decide the future of the Underbank Stud development in Bacchus Marsh. At a Special Meeting of Council on March 11, Moorabool Shire Council resolved to request the Minister for Planning to appoint a planning panel to consider submissions for and against a residential development at the site. The resolution was carried on a casting vote by mayor Paul Tatchell. Cr Tatchell said councillors are not here to decide whether Underbank goes ahead or not. We are here tonight to decide whether it goes through a due process; a panel. You will never get it right unless you use the process. Cr Tom Sullivan said the reality was Bacchus Marsh was going through growing pains. The tide is going to keep washing up against the barrier time and time again. Is there scope for change? Should we say to the developers, go back and change? The objections are both valid. We have had growth all the way along, it is about managing it, he said. The application to rezone the Underbank Stud Farm in Bacchus Marsh to make room for a 1400-home estate was submitted in 2011 by Kataland Developers. In July 2011 Council wrote to the Minister for Planning requesting authorisation to prepare and exhibit an amendment (C62) to the Moorabool Planning Scheme. The amendment proposed to rezone approximately 153 hectares of land from the Farming Zone to the General Residential Zone so it could be developed into housing. A total of 18 submissions were received in response to Amendment C62 of which three offered no objection, 14 opposed the amendment and one was supplementary information from the applicant. Several objectors spoke to their submissions at the meeting, including former Moorabool Shire mayor Pat Grifn. By approving this rezoning, you take away any chance we have to build a better town and to keep it a good place to be, Mr Grifn said. The real question before you is, what will this proposed zoning amendment, and eventual Underbank development, do for Bacchus Marsh? Is there a benet? My view is that this amendment should be abandoned and that this land should not be rezoned to General Residential Zone because there are very few benets and the only ones who will prot are the developers, who offer a very small contribution to the town. He said during his tenure as councillor Underbank was marked as an area for future investigation only and the previous two councils rejected the rezoning of Underbank completely. My nal comment is that this town does not need more people, or trafc, but needs better infrastructure, roads and services, he said. In a report to Council, general manager for growth and development Satwinder Sandhu recommended that the planning panel conduct a public hearing in Bacchus Marsh as part of its deliberations. This hearing will provide an opportunity for those who made a submission during the exhibition period to make a presentation to the panel based on their original submission, Mr Sandhu said.

Colourful artist to exhibit

Local artist Peter Clarke (pictured) is preparing for his fth solo watercolour exhibition - The Colours of Bacchus Marsh. The exhibition will feature 40 watercolours depicting local iconic buildings and landscapes in the Bacchus Marsh area. Mr Clarke is a self-taught artist who was born in Bacchus Marsh and painted all his adult life. For the past 40 years he has painted extensively in and around Bacchus Marsh. He said he enjoyed capturing vitality and spontaneity in his watercolour paintings and used bright colours to give liveliness to his work. Im a Saturday afternoon painter. I like old, local and rustic subjects, things not in pristine condition, Mr Clarke said. I have an eye for the perspective. If you sit long enough in front of something you will observe a lot of things you havent seen before. He said while he liked people to be able to recognise the building or location of his paintings, he wasnt a photographic painter. In 2009 former Moorabool Shire mayor Michael Tudball purchased Mr Clarkes entry into the Bacchus Marsh annual Rotary Club art show, titled Road to Lake Merrimu and Coimadai Primary School, for the Moorabool Shires art collection. The Colours of Bacchus Marsh exhibition will be held at La Perla Gallery, 17 Kyle Way, Bacchus Marsh on Saturday, April 5, 10am4pm and Sunday, April 6, 10am-4pm. Opening night will be held on Friday, April 4 at 7.30pm.
Ramsay welcomes Woolpack Road decision

State Member for Western Victoria Region Simon Ramsay has thrown his support to the recent announcement by Vic Roads to improve the trafc ow and provide greater road safety at Bacchus Marsh. Mr Ramsay said that the Bacchus Marsh community has suffered long enough with delays to remove trafc congestion from the town centre. For too long the issue of trafc ows through Bacchus March has been a political football with State Labor not having the courage to nish this last stage of the Anthonys Cutting Project and Federal Labor only committing to Halletts Way Interchange Upgrade in the dying days of their Government. The recent announcement of new East-facing entry and exit ramps on the Western Freeway at Halletts Way, safety improvements on Hopetoun Park Road, and a major upgrade of Woolpack Road as a staged approach to completing better trafc ow for the town is welcome news, he said. Mr Ramsay said that it was important that an option for a truck bypass is still on the table and that the Intelligent Transport System at the Bacchus Marsh/ Woolpack Road intersection be installed quickly. It is hoped the Moorabool Council will support a trafc and transport study to be completed as soon as possible, so a more permanent solution can be found.

THE Yendon Recreation Reserve Committee and the Yendon History Group will combine to hold a day of commemoration and celebration on Sunday, April 27. In 1935 former students of the Yendon School contributed to the cost of a pair of ornamental gates, which were ofcially opened on March 30 that year. After the school closed in 1993 it was sold and the gates became privately owned. The gates have now been restored to public ownership and, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the opening of Yendon School, they have been installed at the Yendon Recreation Reserve. They will be ofcially re-opened in their new position at 12 noon. Following the re-opening a new Honour Board will be ofcially dedicated at 2pm on Sunday, April 27. The Yendon History Group was awarded a $7,700 grant from the ANZAC Centenary Local Grants Program to

Heritage overlay lifted

A LAST minute change to the Bacchus Marsh Heritage Study will mean more jobs for Bacchus Marsh, according to the owners of the JBD Industrial Park. Jo Merrylees, a solicitor representing the Calleja Group which owns the park, said: Council has made a sensible decision in resolving to deny the imposition of a Heritage Overlay over JBD Industrial Park in Maddingley. The Industrial 2 Zoned land may now be developed for its original purpose, bringing jobs to Bacchus Marsh, Ms Merrylees said. At the March Ordinary Meeting of Council in Elaine, Ms Merrylees argued that putting a heritage overlay on the JBD Industrial Park was not in the communitys best interest and it would impact on jobs because you couldnt attract new industry into the area. At the meeting, Cr Dave Edwards said while the history of that area was signicant, in his opinion the buildings werent signicant. The building does not provide signicance or benet to the community over the long term. There is no value to these factories, Cr Edwards said. A recommendation to take the site out of the heritage overlay was carried at the meeting. This resolution, along with a decision on heritage protection for farmhouse Woodlands in Myrniong, signaled the end of the list of recommendations under the Bacchus Marsh Heritage Study. Moorabool Shire general manager for growth and development, Satwinder Sandhu, said the meeting heralded a signicant milestone for heritage protection in Bacchus Marsh and surrounds. This has been a culmination of almost 20 years of hard work by council ofcers and the community to ensure heritage protection for our signicant assets, Mr Sandhu said. Heritage overlays and protections are now documented for Bacchus Marsh, and council will now turn its attention to the west of the shire, which will provide further heritage protection. With growth pressures in the Bacchus Marsh area, it is important to have this right. These decisions t in with council policy to protect the character of Bacchus Marsh into the future.

Opportune funding for pool

A NEW funding announcement by the Victorian Government could pave the way for badly needed new sports facilities in the Moorabool Shire and a Bacchus Marsh pool. On March 14 the Minister for Sport and Recreation, Hugh Delahunty, said that applications for the 2015/16 Community Facility Funding Program (CFFP) were open. Mr Delahunty encouraged clubs to contact their local council to discuss any projects they would like to put forward. The CFFP provides a unique opportunity for councils, local clubs, sports associations and communities to work together to develop proposals that make a real difference, he said. He said only local government authorities were eligible to apply for funding, however local clubs and associations were encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest Form for community organisations to their council to register their interest in obtaining support. The CFFP funding is available under six categories: - Better Pools - grants of up to $3 million to build new, or upgrade existing, aquatic centres; - Major Facilities - grants of up to $650,000 to develop or upgrade major sport and recreation facilities; - Seasonal Pools - grants of up to $200,000 to upgrade seasonal pools in rural, regional and outer metropolitan locations; - Minor Facilities - grants of up to $100,000 to develop or upgrade local sport and recreation facilities; - Soccer Facilities - grants totalling $100,000 for up to two projects are available to upgrade existing, and construct new, facilities; and - Planning - grants of up to $30,000 to fund initiatives that assess the future sport and recreation facility needs of local communities and up to $50,000 for regional planning initiatives. Project proposals for the current round of the CFFP close on April 16, 2014. For more information about the Community Facilities Funding Program visit www.sport.vic.gov.au

Best walkers are in Balliang!

By Jessica Howard Balliang East Primary School students have won the title of the Grampians best walkers along with $1000 of sports gear, after securing the top spot in VicHealths Walk to School Competition. The annual Walk to School campaign encourages primary school students across Victoria to walk to and from school every day throughout November. The school with the highest participation rate in each region receives sporting equipment to support ongoing physical activity. At Balliang East PS, 32 students took part in the competition, completing 931 walks and totalling 1,156.50km. Balliang East Principal, Caryn Fox says that a meeting place was chosen each morning so that kids travelling across from Werribee could still participate. The kids were dropped off each morning and the teachers would meet them and walk with them to school, and also back at the end of the day. It was a bit over one kilometre and
it was our way to allow the kids to participate, Ms Fox said. Balliang East also took out the golden shoe two years ago, in the one-day competition with the highest amount of participation. Victorian Health Minister David Davis congratulated the winning school for
leading the way in getting students out of cars and on their feet. Walking is an essential part of developing healthy habits and staying active for life, and its fantastic to see so many families taking on the challenge to Walk to School, Mr Davis said.
Now in its eighth year, VicHealths Walk to School campaign aims to raise awareness of the need for children to make walking part of their daily routine, to improve tness, friendships, the environment and their condence. To learn more visit: www. walktoschool.vic.gov.au

Noxious weeds haven for rabbits

GORDON LOCALS say a rapid rise in the rabbit populations is linked to the cover provided by out-of-control roadside blackberries. Gordon trufe farmer Ian Woodhouse said vermin control on his 8ha trufe farm was costing him thousands of dollars a year and he could count up to 50 rabbits at a time during a short daytime drive around North Gordon. My place is fenced against rabbits but they still dig under, he said. Unless there is some reasonable widespread and co-ordinated control, you cannot get the numbers down. They are always going to breed up again. Mr Woodhouse has written to Moorabool Council, asking for action to control blackberries up to 3m high that hid warrens on the eastern side of Lyndhurst St and on Old Melbourne Road between the town centre and Western Highway. I spend in excess of $2000 a year controlling rabbits on and near my property, but of course there is a continuing migration from uncontrolled thewrote. Mill Cottage : restaurant & cafe areas, he Draft 7 Mr Woodhouse said he had approached DEPI and other agricultural bodies about the problem but he had been told funding for rabbit programs had been cut and it was the shires responsibility. He requested an immediate blackberry spraying and rabbit baiting program. It is a disgrace that a rural shire has not acted to protect ratepayers who in many cases earn their living from the land, Mr Woodhouse wrote. Only those who do not remember the devastation of rural land before biological control would allow the present explosion in rabbit populations to continue. He said the rabbit problem is at the worst level he had seen in Gordon, since moving there almost 10 years ago. There are not many people left who remember the rabbit plagues before the 1950s. Myxomatosis really made a difference and the Calicivirus to a lesser degree, but both seem to have lost their effectiveness. Im asking Council to do something. They could institute a spraying program on the blackberries. That wouldnt take very long.

THE 1st Ballan Scout Group and the Ballan and District Adult Riding Club have benetted from the latest VicHealths Active Club Grants program. The Scouts received a $3,000 grant to put towards outdoor camping and safety equipment. Group leader Bruce Hallett said it was fantastic because it encouraged the kids to get out and get active. Were over the moon. Its been a really positive year for us so far, Mr Hallett said. He said the 1st Ballan Scout Group started in 2009 and had a low resource of equipment. One of the things we
needed to enrich the kids experience and get active is some camping equipment. We try and bring kids gradually into outdoor life. The Cubs who are aged eight to 11 need tents they can stand up in and the Scouts aged 11 to 15 can have proper hiking tents. The grant also enables us to get some safety equipment, such as mobile rst aid packs if were going for a hike. Now were actively looking for more adult scout leaders. President of the Ballan and District Riding Club, Lesley Sapsead, said a VicHealth grant for $2,327 would be used towards a safe dressage competition area and additional rst aid
equipment. Were afliated with the Horse Riding Club Association of Victoria (HRCAV), which has stipulated that to be allowed to run a competition we need to have equipment of a certain standard: a dressage arena made from solid standings that will break away, Mrs Sapsead said. The implications of being able to provide a safe working arena means we can provide a safe environment and run some fundraising activities of our own. This will be quite a windfall for the club to be able to do that. She said dressage was a low impact sport without the risks associated with jump-
ing and it was very popular with older people. They will be beside themselves when they nd out we got it. VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said this years grants would assist 742 successful clubs, with a combined total of 212,000 members, to tackle two major barriers that prevented people from taking part in sport and active recreation cost and injury. These grants of up to $3,000 each aim to make it a little easier for clubs to encourage people to join their club, fund items or equipment, and help them improve the safety of those taking part, Ms Rechter said.
You may see or smell smoke from planned burning, with some roads and parks likely to close.
Fire crews from Department of Environment and Primary Industries and Parks Victoria are carrying out planned burns in public parks and forests. This work is part of a plan to reduce bushre risk to Victorian communities, property and the environment. When we burn depends on the weather and plans can change at very short notice. For the latest information visit www.depi.vic.gov.au/burnsmap to see planned burns on a map or call the Victorian Bushre Information Line on 1800 240 667. Fuel reduction on public land can only do so much communities and households need to know how to be prepared and take action to reduce their bushre risk.

Unfortunately we cant do this unless we are given up-to-date information. She said The Moorabool News and The Pyrenees Advocate, both independently owned publications, have been consistently and deliberately left off the CHFL email distribution list. Were being excluded. When rare correspondence does come back from the CHFL hierarchy, weve been told were too demanding and rude or that only relevant media were contacted. Were the only local paper in the Moorabool Shire. How much more relevant do we need to be? she said. Mrs Tatchell said it was disappointing and sad when a grass roots football league couldnt be promoted by its own local papers. THE Central Highlands Football League administrators have placed a media block on The Moorabool News and The Pyrenees Advocate. At the time of going to print no correspondence had been received for the 2014 season xture, putting in jeopardy the usual feature promoting the league. The Moorabool News owner, Helen Tatchell, said the latest snub was surprising given that ve out of the 18 CHFL clubs were in her distribution area, and four in the Pyrenees circulation. For years this paper has struggled to get any news from the CHFL about match results, player votes and even when or where presentation evenings were being held, Mrs Tatchell said.

Its all about the players and the CHFL bosses seem to have forgotten that. Theyve put their own interests above the players, she said. A letter dated 27 September 2013 from CHFL President Eddy Comelli to Mrs Tatchell and Mr Wilson (Pyrenees Advocate) stated that an apology be issued via email to Diane Ryan for the inappropriate and rude comments directed at Diane. Mr Comelli also states that the apology needed to be satisfactory to Diane and the CHFL Board members. In an email last week from CHFL secretary Diane Ryan, Ms Ryan wrote: There are unresolved issues from last season that require attention regarding the relationship between the CHFL and Helen Tatchell prior to any ongoing communication with your publication. The CHFL administration role receives remuneration from the league.

Newborns in the district

Babies born recently at Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital.

Baby bonanza
ALMOST THREE babies are born, on average, every day at Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital. New gures released for the 2012/13 nancial year showed that Bacchus Marsh and Melton Regional Hospital had an increase of 11.5 per cent of babies born there compared to the year before. During 2012/13 there were 1,015 babies born at the hospital compared with 910 babies the year before. The gures were well above the state average of a three per cent increase, released by the Victorian Government last week. The Victorian Minister for Health David Davis said during 2012/13, 76,790 babies were born in Victorian hospitals, including 56,104 in public hospitals and 20,686 in private hospitals. This is a growth of three per cent on the previous year, when 74,798 babies were born in Victorian hospitals, 54,351 in public maternity hospitals and 20,447 in private hospitals, Mr Davis said. He said Victorias hospital and maternity services had signicantly increased under the Victorian Coalition Government. The Coalition Government is committed to providing women access to birthing services close to where they live, close to their families and loved ones, Mr Davis said. That is why the Government has invested in an extensive capital program to expand maternity services at hospitals around Victoria. More than $4.5 billion of health infrastructure investment is underway across Victoria, and maternity services are an important component of that. Sunbury couple Amanda and Ryan welcomed their third child baby girl Airlie Leese into their family on Wednesday 19 March 2014 at 11.36pm. Weighing 2950grams (6lbs 8oz).

Preventing and managing illegal dumping at charity stores

2014
CHARITIES across the Moorabool Shire can now get help to combat illegal waste dumping in charity bins and around charity stores. Chair of the Highlands Regional Waste Management Group, Cr Tom Sullivan, said the Department of Sustainability had developed and published new guidelines for councils and charities that were dealing with illegal litter. The brochures provide guidelines for councils and charities that are dealing with issues of littering around charity bins and charity stores, Cr Sullivan said. The placement of the charity bins falls under the realms of councils. The reaction of some local governments to illegal dumping was to have the
charity bins removed, but in my opinion you dont want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Those bins have a two-fold benet: to the community and from a waste management perspective. CEO of Sustainability Victoria Stan Krpan said illegal dumping and litter were issues that affected communities across Victoria. That is why Sustainability Victoria has been working in partnership with local governments across the state to come up with a series of tools and guidelines to help prevent and manage litter and illegal dumping, Mr Krpan said. The Litter Prevention Kit for Charity Stores helps councils and charity store owners to work together on a well-planned, standard
response to manage illegal dumping. The Local Litter Management Toolkit helps litter prevention ofcers accurately assess the amount and type of litter in their community and choose the best way to manage it. Mr Krpan said Sustainability Victoria had also published The Best Practice Guide for Managing Litter and Illegal Dumping at Clothing Bins to help those who host or manage clothing bins, including charitable recycling organisations, collection contractors, local government, private land owners, and commercial bin operators. Cr Sullivan urged local charity stores to contact Moorabool Shire ofcers for more information about Litter Prevention Kits.

IN HARMONY - Mayor Paul Tatchell (centre) with Gusman (drummer from Senegal) and David (right).
DAVID Nyuol Vincents brilliant white smile was at odds with his incredible story of survival as one of the Lost Boys of Sudan last Friday. Mr Vincent was guest speaker at a Harmony Day celebration in Bacchus Marsh and shared his life story as a child soldier in Ethiopa and as a refugee in Kenya; events which have led him to become an advocate for refugees and the Sudanese community and a Victorian Rights Youth Ambassador and a People of Australia Ambassador. My childhood was deprived of me when I was eight-years-old but I never lost hope. At the time I didnt understand but the truth is I was running away from danger as conict broke out in my village in Sudan, Mr Vincent said. When I left I didnt even have a shirt or shoes. I was eight-years-old and I could see corpses on the ground. Each day I walked with my father and kept asking: Dad, when will we be there? I was very lucky because my father was with me to protect me but I had a lot of friends who didnt have anybody. We only ate what we could catch or nd. He said after three months of continuous walking they arrived at their destination: Ethiopia. I thought things would change but no, my father was taken away and sent back. As children you quickly adapt and I ended up living in the camp for about four years, but the bitterness and hate grew inside me and I couldnt wait to
In harmony with life

become a child soldier. An AK47 gun became my new mother and father and the fellow child soldiers were my family, he said. As a child soldier, he survived the next 17 years of his life in refugee camps, living on one meal a day if he was lucky, surviving air bombings and avoiding people determined to kill him and his people. In 2004, when Mr Vincent was in his 20s, he was offered a humanitarian visa as one of the Lost Boys of Sudan and resettled in Australia. That moment changed my life. The fact I was welcomed to Australia was amazing. Getting on the plane was an experience in itself, but through the fear somehow my hope and faith came back to me, he said. I was taken to the commission ats in Fitzroy. People were smiling at me and that gave me hope that this will be my home. He said now he chose to travel Australia and talk about his life because he wanted people to see that when you give someone a chance, they turn up.

Array of art on show

A TIGER, some chooks, a cabbage, a bridge and some broken pencils were among this years winning art pieces at the Ballan Art Show. Judge Criss Canning, a still-life painter from Ascot, said the standard of work at the 39th annual exhibition in Ballan both delighted and fascinated her. Im a rm believer that art should speak for itself. The work chosen showed skill and dedication for their different mediums but they all contained a really strong emotional content, Ms Canning said. As an artist for more than 50 years, my advice to other artists would be dont try to be clever or nd your style, just be you and paint from the heart and your work will be yours forever. I think our role as artists is that we do open peoples eyes to a new way of looking at things. Moorabool Shire mayor Paul Tatchell said the thing that always impressed him was the amount of local artwork on the walls and every year it seemed to increase. Cr Tatchell chose a watercolour painting of Millrose Cottage in Ballan by Coralie Kennedy to add to Moorabool Shire Councils collection. Highly Commended awards went to Alan Morgan for his pier and tugboat watercolours, Marion Alexopoulos for Sonnet, Barbara Gleeson for Tiger on the Prowl, John Crawley for Putney Bridge, Jane Reyne for Flowering gum, and James Wood for Side Road. The local artist award went to Michele Winsor for The Flower; best small painting to Barbara Gleeson for her watercolour cabbage; best any other medium to Vida Pearson for her yellowtailed black cockatoos linocut; best pastel to Do Noble for Rural Rendition; best watercolour to Jan Long for Chooks; best oil/acrylic to Glenn Hoyle for Lilypond; best landmark in the Ballan district to Brian Lawrence for A Walk Through Ballan, and; best exhibit in the show to Brett Jones for Two Bee Debris.
Now the argument in government is all about refugees and asylum seekers. What were missing is that were not putting this in the context of humans. The argument is who has the best policy, not what can we do for other human beings. Moorabool Shire mayor Paul Tatchell said he was pleased to see the theme for Harmony Day was belonging because it was one of the simplest gifts people could give to each other. When youre young you dont see things racially, you see it for what it is: were all just people. Within Australia there are 200 countries represented, yet we still have problems. I dont understand that. I think we get confused between what we think belongs to us and not what we belong to, Cr Tatchell said. Our guest speaker is someone I deeply admire. David understands what it is to make something out of nothing, which I think is what all Australians can relate to.
Scammer cleaning up
By Jessica Howard Moorabool Shire residents are advised to be aware of an unscrupulous trader offering carpet-cleaning services in the area. Karen McSweeny of Pilmer Street Bacchus Marsh recently received a visit from a trader who was giving quotes on carpet cleaning, and quoted her $480 on her small two-bedroom unit. Ms McSweeny said the man, who was in his late 50s and drove an off-white van, was very persuasive in offering to clean the carpet as he barged through her door, and after declining to give her a business card she thought something was odd. We have a lot of elderly people here, there are 22 units and so I was very concerned, she said. Ms McSweeny said the man also approached an elderly woman living in a unit down the back, so she went to warn those living in the units behind Flanagans in Bacchus Marsh, however he had already been through and charged another elderly woman $400 to clean a single rug. Upon letting the police know of the dishonest trader, Ms McSweeny was told that he was in fact a scammer and although he did indeed clean carpets, he was charging outrageous prices. It is believed the average cost of a standard twobedroom unit normally ranges from about $90 $110, which is more than four times less than what the trader had quoted to Ms McSweeny. The Australian Consumer Law industry guide states that it is not un-common for door-to-door traders to put unwanted pressure on householders, who may then agree on work that they do not really want. Other common swindles include offers of carpetcleaning services for a low or special price, however once in the house, traders will nd additional problems such as apparent moth infestation or necessary intensive cleaning, which will result in a much higher price. Ms McSweeny hopes that the community will look out for the male trader, to avoid paying far more money than necessary. Scams can be avoided by asking questions about additional service costs and moneyback guarantees prior to accepting their work.

Environmental Opinion
the Governments selfjusticatory agendas, and need to be exposed before they do much more damage to all life on Earth. I think this is worth a second look. I would like to extrapolate on the comment above by Len Puglisi. I think that what Len sees as two serious errors are closely aligned to each other and in fact rely on each other for support and indeed life. Am I going too far when I say that pro-market, as presently practiced, is in its very existence anti-nature. Not only that, but it would collapse if otherwise. It needs to be anti-nature. It needs to, if not be overtly antnature, then at best ignore nature. Therefore it sees nature as the enemy and ghts nature and sees nature as threatening its very existence. It cannot be otherwise. I think it is a fair thing to say that the current federal governments number one agenda is to attack nature. If this seems extreme then might I suggest you draw up a list of what has happened so far in the short term of this government. You could start with the attack on the former governments Carbon tax then look at Australias Environment Minister, Greg Hunt, (yes - not Mining Minister but Environment) taking the unprecedented action of asking the World Heritage Committee to remove 74,000 ha of forests from the World Heritage List. This is the rst time a government has ever sought to delist a
with Tom Kingston
Talks of cutting green tape

After bemoaning last week a certain lack of Letters to the Editor about this opinion piece I notice one in last weeks paper; there you go. Meanwhile, here in Tasmania we have just elected a new government. For the past four years the government has been a Labor/ Greens alliance. The liberals have just won majority on their own and one of the rst things the new Liberal government is going to do, according to the new Premier, is to scrap the forest agreement. I would like to link the announcement above and the other recent announcement by the new Liberal government of Tasmania that they intend putting all environment groups on notice that their time in the sun is about to end, to last weeks article. If you remember Len Puglisi (Eureka Street - Vol 24 No 4) quoted Rupert Murdoch as saying, the market is not only the most efcient but the most moral of systems. Len Puglisi then went on to make the somewhat interesting point relating to Cardinal Pell when he said, allied to this awed moral position is another, articulated by Cardinal Pell a few years back. It is that environmentalists preference nature against humans. So once again, with stops and starts, the Government is winding back on nature protections. These two serious errors - pro-market and anti-nature - are the moral/ spiritual positions behind World Heritage area when its heritage values are still intact. Not only could you draw up a reasonable list of the attacks on nature but if you recorded the number of mentions nature gets that are negative the picture becomes even more worrying. What about the federal, and now state, governments talk of getting rid of green tape? This green tape, it seems to me, is there as a protection for nature. I think it is not unreasonable to say that this current federal government sees nature as the enemy of the market and here in Tasmania this is being voiced over and over again by the new government. For example, in the meeting over the forestry agreement, the new government has not invited any environment groups; again a rst. Perhaps I could again nish this weeks piece with a quotation from Derrick Jensen. Premise 20 If you dig to the heart of it if there is any heart left you will nd that social decisions are determined primarily on the basis of how well these decisions serve the needs of controlling or destroying wild nature. Derrick Jensen, (Endgame: Volume II: Resistance Seven Story Press New York 2006). What is your opinion? Next MEG meeting: Tuesday 25 March - Ballan Community House 134 Inglis St Ballan. All Welcome

We all want our homes to be comfortable and convenient, if not the home of our dreams then at least one with the features we want and decorations to our taste. When the property market is strong, as in recent months, the temptation is to spend on improvements and renovations, assuming prices will continue to rise and money spent would be recouped if the property was sold. But, while it is always tempting to put in the latest bathroom or kitchen, it may not be the best option. Overcapitalising spending money on a property which may not be recouped by an increase in its value is a risk for both investors and owner occupiers. While most investors are wary about overspending and wise to avoid this trap, that is not always so with improvements on our own homes. Of course if you plan to stay there for many years, spending money which may not be recouped in the short term is not such an issue. But we never know what the future will hold unexpected events may require us to sell, so it is always wise to ensure your home is not overcapitalised. The median price of a home in regional Victoria
reached a record high in the last three months of 2013, up six per cent on the same quarter in 2012. It was encouraging news, but REIV predicts a slowing in property prices later this year, so it is not the time for major renovations unless you can be sure they will boost the propertys value to cover their cost and hopefully, make a prot. If you are contemplating renovations, its important to know your propertys current value and what it would be worth with that work completed. A good yardstick is the local median price, which can be checked at www.reiv.com. au. Within any area, the pool of buyers is only so large, and if your property is well above the median price even if it is superior to many homes the same size it may take longer to sell. Consult a real estate agent for an appraisal of your home and ask his or her advice about your plans would they be a wise move, would you get that money back if you sold? If the answer is no, the time, stress and cost of renovating are best avoided.

What does RAM do?
$110
Full Service*
CAR RV memory TRUCKisTYRES How much enough? The more RAM the better performance. It pays to have SPECIALIST BALANCING as much RAM as your computer can cope with. All computers ship with a specied amount of RAM, and most BATTERIES & ALIGNMENT mother boards have extra capacity to install additional
RAM. Even new computers can take extra RAM
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.)

had to retire, under game rules. Jack had a couple of good partnerships along the way with Sam Dehnert (47 runs) and Jason McEgan (25 runs). Sam made 17 and Jason made 9. The best of the bowlers were Dylan Graham 2/25 and Riley Ranieri 2/10 with Ben Loughnane, Sam Dehnert and Jason McEgan picking up 1 each. In a close and exciting game the Ballan team could only manage 113 runs falling agonisingly short by two runs. All credit should be given to both teams for doing so well in the 2013/14 season with some terric performances throughout. Bernie Davey Medal Awards Night Ballan was well represented at the Bernie Davey Medal in conjunction with the E.J.Cleary Medal presentation night held at Bray Raceway last Wednesday evening. Guest speaker for the evening was Matthew Short who recently represented Australia in the U19s in Dubai. The highlights for Ballan were Daniel Romeo winning the Champion player for Division 3, Noel Heafield taking out the batting averages (393 runs @ 78.60 ave.), and Chris Mullane being selected in the Bernie Davey team of 1984 to 2013. Chris having previously won the B grade best player award twice (the equivalent of the Bernie Davey Medal back then) in 198384 and1986-87. This season is the rst time that grades lower than Division 1 and Club 1sts have been recognised and awarded with their respective champion players.

Photo Chris Thom It turned out to be a slightly disappointing end to a very successful season for the Ballan junior cricketers this last weekend, with both teams missing out on winning their respective Grand Finals. Both teams had gone into the nals undefeated all season which was a great show of their skill and commitment throughout the year. The Under 16s played at Bunninyong against North Ballarat and for the rst time this season was bundled out for only 40 runs. Norths reply was with 115. The boys had to try to put on some very fast runs in order to give themselves a chance in the second innings. The top order seemed up to the task with some very hard hitting from Dylan (4 runs) and Tyler Trickey (26 runs) followed by Terrance Curwin-King (29 runs) that included 4 fours and 2 sixes, getting the score to 60 runs in 6 overs. Unfortunately the task was too big as the overs dwindled and time ran out to bowl the opposition out for an outright win. In the Under 14 game at Alfredton No 2 oval the game was much tighter with only ve runs separating the teams at the end of the rst day. Golden Point Blue amassed a total of 115 off 48.1 overs setting Ballan a decent score to chase. The Ballan boys tried their hardest with a lot of anxious spectators, families and their coach supporting them all the way. Jack McGregor top scored with 50 runs but unfortunately Mick Loughnane was runner up in the batting averages with 263 runs at a 65.75 average. Mick Nolan just missed out (again) on the Wicket Keeping award with 15 dismissals just behind Paul Phillips (Dunnstown) with 16. Maybe Mick should have left the gloves on at the end of the last game! Noel Heaeld was equal 3rd place, on 9 votes, in the Bernie Davey Medal vote count. The winner was Dale Jeffrey (Lucas) on 12 votes, with runner up Brad Palmer (Buninyong) on 11, followed by Noel Heaeld (Ballan), Simon McCartin (Burrumbeet) and Jeremy Johnston (VRI Delacombe), all on 9 votes.

really could do. In the rst set Jessica and Luke were able to keep up with their opponents till 4 all, but then lost the last two games. In the other set Townsen and Tully also played very well. They ran at every ball and got a lot of them back. In the end it wasnt enough to win the set. The Navigators team were able to claim the important points, winning both sets. Navigators qualied to play in the Grand Final with a 4/24 win over Ballan 0/13. The C5 team put in an amazing performance against the top team which had only lost one match all year. Just last week Ross Creek beat this team 4-0 (and only lost 9 games) but this time Ballan won the rst two sets, giving the team a 2-1 lead heading into the last set with Lillabelle and Angus playing. They took the nal set to a tiebreaker and narrowly lost, meaning the teams nished 2-2 on sets but Ross Creek snuck ahead on games winning 21-19 at the end of the day.

They made a good start with Emily and Chantelle up 4 0. However Lachlan and Nick and Ben and Mitchell stepped up their efforts and were able to reverse the scores, winning both sets 6 4. The Ballan C2 Black team will now play in the Grand-nal after a 4 0 win in sets. The C3 team played against top of the ladder Navigators. In the rst set Mckinnon and Adam played very well, but their opponents were just a bit too strong. They lost their set 6 2. Ben and Ethan showed a great ghting spirit and were able to even the match, winning their set 6 3. In the third set Ethan and Adam were a bit overwhelmed by their older opponents, but did put up a great ght. They lost their set 6 1. In the last set Ben and Mckinnon did everything they could to get the second point, but just couldnt get the game points they needed. Navigators will now play in the Grand-Final after a 3 1 win in sets. The C4 also played top of the ladder Navigators.

Premierships history
The winning Elaine Cricket Club Premiership side. Young 11yo cricketers for Elaine Nicholas Pantzidis and Seamus Dunne with Senior member Shane Dunne. Photos - submitted By Jessica Howard The Elaine Cricket Club has won its rst back-to-back premiership in history, after re-joining local competition only 18 months ago. The Club revived cricket in their country town in 2013 after a 12-year gap, and in their rst year back, won the Senior Division 5 Premiership comfortably. With Elaines previous days win under their belt, they were asked to eld after Mount Clear won the toss, and elected to bat. The club have always preferred to bat rst, however Heath Anderson and Jayden Alexander were on target early and soon had the opposition on the back foot, dismissing the rst ve Mount Clear batsmen by the time the score had reached 33 runs. A highlight of the day for Elaine were junior cricketers Nicholas Pantzadis and Seamus Dunne, both aged 11, who each took turns in the eld after both had played in the senior team for three quarters of the season. Winning the match by eight wickets Elaine was declared the premiership winners of the BCA Division 5 oneday competition, following its 109 run victory in game one.
