Running with heart

Just last year, young Bacchus Marsh
resident Evelyn Grant couldn’t walk
100-metres without being short of
breath and was recovering from cardiac
surgery.
Now, the five-year old has completed

Allison Grant.
As a result of her condition Evelyn
has an implant in her heart, returns to
the Royal Children’s Hospital every
12-months, and will be monitored for the
rest of her life.
5 October was “quite overwhelming,”
explaining that as she is a registrar of the
club, she had to sprint down to the field
to make sure she didn’t miss Evelyn’s
race.
“I was really concerned that I would
miss it, because we were so busy, but it
just happened to be the right timing…
and I shot down to watch her run,” she

“It was kind of as she crossed the finish

Butcher snags win
Business of the Year is an accolade that one local
businessman never saw coming.
Shane Zammit runs Ballan Local Butcher and was
the Retail winner at the 3rd bi-annual Ballan & District
Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards last
Friday night at a gala event at St Anne’s Winery; shortly
after he was declared the overall winner of the Business of
the Year 2019 award.
He attributes his success to family, his team and the
community for the continued support.
“I established my business around two-years ago, and
the past owner left us with good grounding, but also
something for us all to work on to better the business that
I had in our plan and model.
Mr Zammit said he wanted to bring the quality of his
locally owned family farm Shazam lamb, to the public in a
very sustainable and efficient manner.
A great and well-respected
business, with a strong focus on
the local community and building
business excellence processes into
all they do in general.
- Janice Ray (Judge)
“To be honest the main reason for submitting the
application was just to do justice to those that took the
time to nominate us. It was extremely flattering to have a
number of nominations.”
And how did it feel to hear Ballan Local Butcher named
as the overall winner?
“Shocked, excited and ill-prepared.
“It was amazing, humbling and satisfying,” he said.

“Our farm is comprised of Texel Dorset cross sheep, a
Dutch breed, and buying an established business with
a small customer base was better than starting from
scratch,” he said.
But it hasn’t been easy.
“It has been extremely challenging with prices quite

extremely attractive prices out there through traditional

But is not just about the man himself.

“Far from it,” Mr Zammit said.
“It is family alongside our great team of staff members,

retail, livestock and agriculture businesses,” he said.
Success in business does not happen overnight and in
five-years Mr Zammit sees himself growing the business
to service “not only our existing customers but expanding
to new retail and wholesale customers.”
And finally, Mr Zammit had an important message to the
community.
“Support local. Your local businesses are the lifeblood of
any town and the community. Buy local, spend locally and
you will see the benefits, which in turn will ensure the
longevity of not only the butcher shop, but all businesses.”
Ballan Local Butcher is located in the main street of
Ballan, opening six-days a week.

Luck of the Irish Cup hope

By Helen Tatchell

Spring is in the air and this means warmer days, hay fever
and the Spring Carnival horse racing fixture.
It also means on that first Tuesday in November, the race
that stops a nation, the Melbourne Cup will run, and there is
a local Moorabool connection.
Australian Thoroughbred Bloodstock (ATB) from
Beremboke, have had Melbourne Cup runners since 2012
(no runner 2015) and ATB Communications Manager Part of the accident scene at Balliang.

Peter Morganti told the Moorabool News more about their
successes.
“Our best results have been with Jakkalberry in 2012
who placed third; Dandino ran fifth in 2013, and in 2016
Heartbreak City ran second, beaten a head to Almandin,” he
said.
This year ATB will another runner in the prestigious race
over 3200m at Flemington next Tuesday 5 November.
“Southern France is our chance this year,” Mr Morganti said.
“He has had 14-starts for 3-wins and 6-placings including a
Group and Listed win for prizemoney over $600,000.”
Mr Morganti said Southern France was third in his latest
run.
“He ran in the Group 1 Irish St Leger, beating home last
year’s Melbourne Cup winner, Cross Counter who finished
fourth.”
The 5-year old bay entire will not run locally in the lead up
to the great race, instead he will be stationed at the Werribee
Quarantine Centre, where he is doing his training.
Coming from Europe it would be expected the hopeful
would prefer a wet or heavy track, however Morganti said
it is the opposite.
“He actually doesn’t like the wet, hence a big reason of
purchasing him because he will enjoy our firmer tracks.”
Mark Zahra is scheduled to take the ride and will carry
55.5kg, with Ciaron Maher and David Eustace from Ballarat,
the new trainers. Southern France was formerly trained in
Ireland by Aidan O’Brien.
“The horse is a legitimate chance in the race, he meets
plenty of criteria when looking for the right type of horse.
Importantly his form overseas is around the correct horses
Southern France settles in at Werribee Quarantine Centre.

from the right races,” Mr Morganti said.
“He travelled over beautifully, lost minimal weight and is
eating up all his food and looks in great shape.”
Southern France is fully Australian owned after the deal
was completed to buy him from overseas around two-
months ago.
ATB’s recent Melbourne
Cup results include:
• Nakeeta - 12th to Cross Counter 2018
• Tiberian - 7th to Rekindling 2017
• Heartbreak City - 2nd to Almandin 2016
• Seismos - 9th to Protectionist 2014
• Dandino - 5th to Fiorente 2013
• Jakkalberry - 3rd to Green Moon 2012

Young ones experiencing culture

By Meg Kennedy
Children of Wallace Kindergarten
are set to have hands-on experi-
ence with indigenous bush foods
and Aboriginal culture, with a new
play space to be constructed.
Known as the ‘Bunjil and Waa
Bush Foods Garden and Indig-
enous Playspace’, the garden will
feature local indigenous edible and
medicinal plants used by the area’s
Traditional Owners, the Wadawur-
rung people.
The garden will also feature a mo-
saic of Bunjil the wedge-tailed ea-
gle – the great creator of the Kulin
nations (Victoria), and a stonewall.
The play space was announced to
parents last Tuesday, 22 October,
commencing with a ‘Welcome to
Country’ performance by the chil-
dren and a smoking ceremony by
Wadawurrung Traditional Owner
Bonnie Chew.
The project was funded with the
aid of a $2000 Ballan & District
Community Bank grant and funds
raised at the kindergarten’s annual
Mother’s Day luncheon.
Wallace Kindergarten educator,
Emily Corbet, said the idea for a
bush foods garden came after she
held an interest “in creating an ed-
ible indigenous garden for quite
some time, although I knew it was
too big a task to do properly by
myself.”
“I was speaking with Nicole from
Barefeet Garden Design about the
idea, and she was just as excited
and passionate as me,” she said.
Ms McIvor researched and con-
sulted thoroughly with traditional
Wadawurrung country owners,
the Ballarat and District Aborigi-
nal Co-operative, and conducted
her own readings and research into
Indigenous plantings and culture.
The children and greater commu-
nity of Wallace Kindergarten will
also be part of the construction
process.
“The children will be involved in
mosaicking the wings of Bunjil,
and the kindergarten community
will be involved every year as we
will invite them to build the roof of
the stonewall hut using branches
and sticks,” said Ms Corbet.
“It will be taken down and rebuilt
yearly, helping to instil that sense
of belonging and ownership.”
Learning about Indigenous cul-
ture has become a strong part of
the kindergarten’s curriculum.
“We embed the Indigenous cul-
ture throughout the curriculum
every day through language, puz-
zles, books, songs, dramatic play
and art, making Aboriginal cul-
ture visible in our daily environ-
ment and in our daily practise,”
explained Ms Corbet.
“We really believe that it starts [in
kindergarten], and we are finding
the children are educating their
parents. The feedback and interest
have been really positive.”
When the garden is completed,
Ms Corbet hopes the space is used
for the children’s everyday play;
including an educational tool to
learn about bush foods, harvesting
and cooking, and discovering the
stories of Bunjil and Waa to share
with their families at home.
“Like the other ways we embed
culture, it will be a normal part of
their everyday,” she said.
Construction is set to begin on the
site in November.

‘Sense-sible’ area for students

opened the sensory garden at Darley PS last week. Photos – Meg Kennedy Tim Richardson with Darley principal Simon Cornock and Steve McGhie.

By Meg Kennedy
Students with disabilities and special needs at Darley
Primary School will now be able to experience a different
kind of learning.
Parliamentary Secretary of Schools Tim Richardson and
Member for Melton Steve McGhie visited the school last
Thursday, 24 October to officially open its new outdoor
learning area.
The area includes a rock-seating amphitheatre, fitness
trail, sensory garden, spider web climber, jungle square,
trampoline and moving balance beam.
The $200,000 project was funded through the Labor
Government’s Inclusive Schools Fund, which helps
government schools better support the social and education
needs of young people with additional needs.
Darley PS was one of 93 successful schools from across the
state to receive funding.
Mr Richardson said Darley PS had “heart and soul” to
become one of the successful schools to receive a grant for
the garden.
“There’s a couple of hundred schools that apply; not everyone
gets an application. So, it goes to how your inclusive, how
you value every student’s education, and how do we create
those sensory and inclusive spaces for all kids to access. Well,
this ticks every box,” he said.
Mr McGhie he was “pleased through the Inclusive Schools
fund that [Darley PS has] received funding.”
“In modern schools nowadays, and it allows for all students
to be involved in different ways so you can learn outside the
classroom; you can smell different things, you can touch
things, you can taste things, it will be fantastic,” he said.
Darley PS Principal Simon Cornock said the sensory garden
“is amazing opportunity for us.”
“This area is going to make such a difference for some of
our kids who just need a bit of a different space to learn, and
sometimes they just need a bit of a space to just de-escalate
from a variety of behaviours,” he said.
“What we’re trying to do is give kids a certain strategy,
when they’re feeling a certain way, to actually manage it
themselves…so it will be an opportunity for kids to practice
those skills in a sort of real-life situation that is safe, still part
of our school and is still included in what we do, and there’s
no stigma attached,” Mr Cornock said,
Construction of the outdoor learning area has commenced
and is due for completion in November.

“Both padlocks on the locked facility were cut,” Sgt
(Acting) Wallace said.
“It is estimated around 100-litres of diesel fuel was
taken from the premises.”
Police would like to identify both persons in the
photograph as they may be able to assist police with
their enquiries.
Sgt (Acting) Wallace said if anyone may recognise
these persons or have any information in regard to
the theft, please contact Ballan police on 5368 1303 or

Unique Train Carriage Home

GIL KING
CEO, REIV

In Central Smythesdale
7 Lynch Street, Smythesdale
Auction Saturday 23rd November
at 11.00AM
Although her days of carrying passengers are over,
we know you will enjoy the journey of living or
accommodating family & friends with nostalgia,
memories & comfort. Located in the beautiful
surrounds of Smythesdale, this unique fully fitted
carriage is covered by a 16 x 9m domed shed and
incorporates a fabulous outdoor deck to relax &
unwind. Located within an easy walking distance to
the Skipton Rail Trail and providing an opportunity
to continue the Air B&B rewards; this property will
certainly provide an historic experience.
The regional Victorian housing market is gradually gaining
momentum, with house prices up by 0.9% in the REIV’s latest
quarterly median prices.
The rise in house prices was overshadowed by unit prices,
which rose by an incredible 7.1% during the past quarter
across Regional Victoria.
Surging sales has led to a lot of smiles on the faces of sellers
and agents across Victoria.
Bendigo is the top regional housing performer, scoring
11.9% quarterly and 29.7% annual growth, followed by West
Wodonga (6.1%), Clifton Springs (5.4%), Morwell (4.5%) and
Woodend (4.3%).
While Churchill and Morwell have been crowned as the
two most affordable suburbs in regional Victoria, followed
by Moe, Stawell and Ararat.
Bendigo remains Victoria’s most consistent region, achieving
the highest combined positive growth both quarterly and
yearly.
A market on the rebound is music to the ears of potential
sellers; these conditions should lead to more properties being
listed for sale.
With easier lending conditions and historically low interest
rates, there hasn’t been a better time to sell your home.
For objective information on recent sales, auctions, median
prices and rental yields for suburbs all over Victoria, or

Sebastopol will be decided in
a one-day game after play was
abandoned without a ball bowled
due to rain at the weekend.

decided. Umpires said the bowler’s run-ups and inner field
were simply too wet, with the fixture set to revert back to a
one-day game this weekend.

allan end of the innings, with both players remaining not

Results – Round 4
Saturday started out with terrible
wind, rain and the temperature
didn’t get much better as the day
went on, however, play did begin.
Captain, James Lidgett, lost the
toss and the Bulls were sent in
against St Anthony’s. Lidgett had
spoken to openers Scott Wakefield
and Brett McGrath during the
week and wanted positive intent at
the beginning of the innings.
“I thought they executed the plan
beautifully,” said Lidgett.
With an opening stand of 151, it
set the scene for a big score off 40
overs. McGrath made 75 and was
well supported by Wakefield who
chimed in with a well fought out
58. Lidgett himself also batted well
for 25 not out.
The weather made a declaration
a necessity if a result was to be
achieved and Bacchus Marsh
declared at 2/183 off 31 overs.
Bacchus Marsh required all 10
United and they finished on 6/179
with Ben Hall matching his batting
performance with the ball taking
3/22 off 6 overs.
Division 1
The Bulls were put into bat by
East Sunbury and the father/son
opening combination of Matt and
Brodie Gellie, were up to the task
putting on an 86 run opening stand
before Brodie was bowled for 34.
Chris Amphlett (25 n.o) provided
good support to Matt taking the
score to 1/129 cc off 30 overs with
Matt undefeated on 60 n.o. East
Sunbury made 9/118 which may
have sent some hearts fluttering,
but Billy Griffiths ensured the

A solid start against a strong batting line up, Ballan
worked tirelessly in the field remaining positive and
supporting each other. Noah Britton worked hard
for his first wicket and his first catch. James Cornwill
backed up his first wicket last week with another great
bowling spell and his second wicket. Mabel Ayres
and Sarah Burton took their fielding efforts to the next
level continually inspiring the team. The team battled
to score runs against quality bowling; working hard to
bat out the overs which they achieved through brave
out.

Unfortunately, Ballan only had six players, St
Anthony’s gave two players to ensure the game went
ahead. Ballan bowled first with all bowlers bowling
good tight lines restricting St Anthony’s to 51 runs.
Beau Shelton put in another excellent bowling
performance taking 1/3 off 3 overs and Angus Brit
bowled well for his 1/7, Banjo Luke had his first go
as wicket keeper and did an excellent job with many
excellent takes. Jackson Letcher and Nathan Stanley
were excellent in the field with positive fielding and
encouraging. Ballan’s chase for runs was not easy but
got over the line before we lost the last wicket. Batting
stand outs were Angus Britt and Noah Pace opening
the innings and getting Ballan off to a positive start.
Noah displayed controlled batting to reach 20 not out,

excellent partnership. Both teams played the game in

wickets to get a result which can be
difficult on a full day of cricket let
alone in just over two hours. The St
Anthony’s batsmen were obviously
happy to settle for a draw and
played out the day being 2/53 off
27 overs.
One positive for Lidgett was that a
few bowlers who haven’t had much
of a run, such as Brad Croxford and
Kasun Suriaratchie, were able to
bowl in match conditions which
will only make them better for the
run.
Lidgett stated that the team is in a
very, very positive frame of mind
and looking forward, not only to
the match against Sunbury United
at Langama Park next round, but
also the looming two-day games.
Johnstone Shield
In other matches, Bacchus
Marsh had a comfortable victory
in the Johnstone Shield against
Sunbury United. Ben Hall (75),
Connor Ascough (55) and Shaun
Taylor (47 n.o.) all contributed to
a magnificent total of 6/235 off 40
overs. The score was too many for
victory taking 4/27.
Division 2
The Bulls made a comfortable
6/160 off their allotted 35 overs
with Brett Huxtable making
a respectable 52 n.o. In reply,
Blackwood managed 8/143 with
Josh Lloyd taking 4/20 off 7 overs.
Division 3
The Bacchus Marsh team were not
so fortunate but put up a great fight
to make 4/182 with Adam Arnold
(79) and Steve Lalor (31) taking the
batting honours. Rupertswood
in response, made 8/186 with the
wickets shared.

They had one win with St
Anthonys forfeiting and one loss

to Rupertswood. Rupertswod
