Moorabool Shire has two new, and five re-
elected, councillors.
Allan Comrie became the second sitting
Moorabool Mayor in a row to be voted out of
office – despite receiving the highest number
of primary votes of any candidate, it was
preferences that saw Comrie out-voted.
The East Ward now comprises the re-elected
David Edwards and Tonia Dudzik, as well
as the newly elected John Keogh and Jarrod
Bingham.
Woodlands Ward residents re-elected Pat
Toohey, while Central Ward residents re-
elected Paul Tatchell; West Ward’s Tom
Sullivan was re-elected unopposed.
The results, released by the Victorian
Electoral Commission last Friday night, are
provisional, with official results declared
on Wednesday 2 November. 30 per cent of
votes arrived after the deadline and were not
counted.
Newcomer Jarrod Bingham 26, said he felt
honoured and privileged to have received so
many votes on his first election attempt.
“I am truly grateful at the amount of
support the community has shown towards
me; I vow to always listen and advocate for
what’s right and I will not let anybody down.
I look forward to the next four years as your
representative,” Mr. Bingham said.
Central Ward Councillor Paul Tatchell
acknowledged John Kowarsky for the clean
contest and thanked the residents in the
Central Ward for their support.

“I promise to work hard to repay that
trust; I won’t always get it right, but it won’t
be through lack of trying. Some of the
campaigning antics in the East Ward over
the election period are cause for concern; I
sincerely hope that local Council elections
are not trying to emulate the behavioural
habits of our State and Federal counterparts.
Local Government is about local people
reflecting the needs of local people, nothing
more and nothing less,” he said.
Pat Toohey said it was great to get the
support from the community to get on with
the job.
“We have very important years ahead of
us, with huge population growth and small
budgets to provide for our community’s
needs. I relish the opportunity to voice
our community’s needs over the next four
years,” he said.
Returned East Ward Councillor Dave
Edwards was grateful for the opportunity to
represent the community again.
“I’d like to thank those who provided their
continued support for me.”
The sole female councillor Tonia Dudzik
is keen to continue listening, assisting and
advocating for residents.
“I look forward to working with other
Councillor’s over the next four years. I am
keen to progress the youth space and also
road infrastructure and recreation and
sporting facilities to meet the needs of our
growing population,” Dudzik said.
Top of the ballot John Keogh was delighted
with the news that he had been elected in the
East Ward.
“I am absolutely delighted and feel
privileged to be able to represent the
ratepayers of Bacchus Marsh; I eagerly look
forward to the next four years.”
Unopposed in the West Ward and a
Moorabool councillor for the last 20 years,
Tom Sullivan said it is always an exciting
time when a new council comes to the table.
“It is an opportunity to take stock and
reassess where we are at the moment and
then go forward.
“It is also a sad time to not be able to go
forward with those councilors who did not
get re-elected; they should be very proud of
their time on council and the contribution
they made.”

And they’re racing …
By Jessica Howard
The racing buzz came to
Myrniong Primary School
last week as they got into the
spirit of the Spring Racing
Carnival.
The 22nd running of the
Myrniong Cup took place on
Friday (October 28), which
saw students and teachers
take on the role of jockeys
and their mounts, book-
makers, race callers, secu-
rity and fashions on the field
competitors.
Students had the opportu-
nity to pose with a real piece
of horseracing silverware,
thanks to the Ballan Jockey
Club, who showed off their
upcoming 2016 Ballan Cup
to the school ahead of its an-
nual horse racing event.

The Ballan Cup is held
each year at the Geelong
Racecourse with eight local
races including this year’s
main race The Geelong Ho-
tel/United Wool Ballan Cup
and the Cornerstone Stud
Rosebowl.
Ballan Jockey Club Vice
President, Mick Winter
said the popular event was
known to draw around 4,000
people.
“It should be a really good
day, we’ll be featuring races
from Flemington racecourse
on the big screen as well as
good local racing to be seen
on the day,” he said.
“There’s live music, fash-
ions on the field, kids ac-

“Obviously the horse racing
is the most important part of
the event, and whilst the so-
cial aspect provides a great
atmosphere, you just can’t
beat that racing buzz”.
Mr Winter said it was great
to see the community get-
ting involved with the rac-
ing season and hoped to see
racegoers from all over the
region at the Ballan Cup.
“The event isn’t just for the
people of Ballan - we want
to see people attending from
Bungaree, Wallace, Gor-
don, Myrniong, Greendale
and Bacchus Marsh. This is
something that the whole
community can enjoy and
will hopefully see the Ballan

Royal win for Lou

By Jessica Howard

Ballan woman Lou Smith is

celebrating a first prize win at the
Royal Melbourne Show Art, Craft
and Cookery Competition.
The successful entry was a hand-
written story about Lou’s beloved
monkey Peppy.
Husband Neville said it was great
to see Lou awarded for doing
something she really loved.
“She’s had that monkey for years,
since she was really little, so she
wrote a story about what they had
experienced together. It was an

following an evening of twilight
bowling at the Ballan Bowls Club in

2010.
“Because she has a brain injury, it’s
good for her to work with myself, her
sister and her carers in doing things
like that,” Neville said.
“She really loved writing [the story],
so we entered it into the disabled
category of the competition and
when she won she was really happy”.
Lou and Peppy’s adventure
story became part of the Royal
Melbourne Show Art Craft and
Cookery exhibition, which attracted
thousands of spectators over ten
days.
The competition received over 4,700
entries across 300 classes.

A new sustainable garden-
ing program is set to em-
brace the green thumbs of
the
St Bernard’s Primary School
students.
The Bacchus Marsh School
received $1,660 worth of
funding from Western Wa-
ter, which will be used to
purchase a tank, irrigation
system and plants.
Senior students will plant
and take care of their veg-
etable gardens as part of
the school’s leadership
and sustainable gardening
programs.
The successful grant was
part of Western Water’s an-
nual Water Week grants
program, which saw 16
grants totalling more than
$30,000 handed out across
the region.
Western Water’s General
Manager of Customer and
Community Relations, Gra-
ham Holt said it was pleas-
ing to support great commu-
nity projects.
“School gardens are an
important way we can help
support healthy communi-
ties,” he said.
In its 23rd year, National
Water Week encourages
communities to take ac-

Local art has a shop front
By Kate Taylor
A new art gallery has
opened in Bacchus Marsh.
BMAC Gallery, a project
of the Bacchus Marsh Arts
Council Inc (BMACI) opened
its doors quietly two weeks
ago and has been exhibiting
and selling the works of sev-
eral local artists.
Retiring East Moorabool
Councillor John Spain, now
Secretary of the Arts Coun-
cil, says that BMAC Gallery
is a significant addition to
the Arts landscape in Bac-
chus Marsh.
“This is a community Art
Gallery that provides oppor-
tunities for local and district
visual artists to exhibit and
sell their work,” Mr Spain
said.
“BMACI is a not for profit
incorporated association
and any net income from
this venture will go to fund-
ing other Arts initiatives that
are in line with our Strategic
Plan.”
Mr Spain encouraged locals
and visitors to come and take
a look at the BMACI Gallery.
“Expect to be pleasantly
surprised. And stay tuned
for more initiatives from
BMACI.”
He said that the BMAC
Gallery was able to open
because of the generous sup-
port of the Village Bacchus
Marsh Shopping Centre, and
significant community do-
nations channelled through
a “crowd-funding” project.
“We asked for help in fund-
ing the setup costs and fit-
out of the Gallery and the
community responded.”
There will be a “Grand Of-
ficial Opening” at the Gal-
lery at 6 pm on 11 November
to celebrate the community
achievement.
“The public is invited to at-
tend and experience the high
quality artworks on exhibit,”
Mr Spain said.
The inaugural exhibition
features the works of mem-
bers of BMACI; subsequent
shows will see the Gallery
available as a resource for all
artists in the district.
BMACI is developing a pro-
gram of exhibitions for the
next six months - starting
in the second week of De-
cember will be the ‘Summer
Show,’ with the exhibition
open to local and district
artists; interested visual art-
ists, including photographic
artists are encouraged to
express an interest in being
part of the exhibitions by
emailing the group at - gal-
lery@bmaci.org.au, with the
artists who are exhibited ex-
pected to assist in supervis-
ing the BMAC Gallery.
The Gallery is located near
the undercover car park
of the Village, on the Ben-
nett Street side of the com-
plex and is generally open
Wednesdays through Fri-
days from 10 am to 4 pm.
Most Saturdays and Sun-
days it opens from 1 pm un-
til 4 pm, depending on avail-
ability of volunteers.
Recreation reserves for our Growing Communities.
Minister for Regional Development Jaala Pulford announced
the start of online consultation for the Central Highlands Re-
gional Partnership community, saying that the new website
gives people living, working, and studying in the Central
Highlands the opportunity to share their thoughts on its
development.
“Each of the nine Regional Partnerships will host an assem-
bly involving at least 100 people, including community mem-
bers, government representatives and local government, to
discuss priorities for each region,” Ms Pulford said.
“Following the assemblies, each Partnership will deliver
key recommendations straight into the heart of government
through the new Rural and Regional Ministerial Commit-
tee made up of seven members of Cabinet and chaired by
myself.”
The Central Highlands Regional Partnership includes the
shires of Golden Plains, Hepburn, Moorabool and Pyrenees,
as well as the City of Ballarat and Ararat Rural City.
“Capitalising on tourism opportunities, and ideas and ac-
tions that will make the region an even greater place to live
– driving jobs and economic growth – are likely to be among
the issues addressed by the Central Highlands Regional
Partnership,” Ms Pulford concluded.

Direct action needed on climate change

As reported in The Age
(Wednesday October 19)
new data revealed at a Senate
estimates hearing showed
that carbon cuts made by the
federal government’s Direct
Action climate change plan
by 2020 would be wiped out
by pollution from a single
coal mine in just over a year.
The report went on to say
that officials from the Clean
Energy Regulator said that
projects paid for from the
first three auctions of the
Emissions Reduction Fund
– the backbone of Direct Ac-
tion – would trim pollution
by just 42 million tonnes of
carbon-dioxide equivalent
by 2020.
The report went on to say
that even if all the remain-
ing funds were spent – with
a fourth auction planned for
November 16 – emissions
reductions are projected to
total only 92 million tonnes
by the year 2020.
By contrast, the Adani coal
mine proposed for Queens-
land’s Galilee Basin would
trigger emissions of about 79
million tonnes a year – nul-
lifying the ERF’s pre-2020
abatement in little over a
year if it proceeded.
Such is life under the fed-
eral government’s ‘Direct
Action’. If it didn’t actually
threaten all of our futures
it would be funny. It isn’t
funny. It is a tragedy unfold-
ing before our eyes. I am not
saying, as any readers of this
column would know, that
we here in Australia can do
it alone. But, we need to take
the lead and not sit back and
wait for others.
Meanwhile Victorians (and
most Australians it seems)
want an ‘urgent’ transi-
tion away from coal to 100
percent renewable energy.
Polling released recently by
Friends of the Earth showed
that a large majority, 70 per-
cent of respondents, believe
the Victorian government
should commit to major re-
ductions in our state’s green-
house pollution.
This polling comes as the
Andrews government pre-
pares to amend the Victo-
rian Climate Change Act
2010 (CCA) before the year’s
end. Interestingly this poll
also showed that there was
also strong awareness of the
need to support the Latrobe
Valley community as it tran-
sitions from coal. 69.5 per-
cent of respondents want the
government to invest funds
to help diversify the Valley’s
economy.
The Andrews government
has accepted the majority of
the recommendations from
the Independent Review of
the Climate Change Act and
is currently drafting legisla-
tion to strengthen it (the gov-
ernment’s intention is to ta-
ble this legislation before the
end of 2016). The Independ-
ent Review recommended
that the Act include legis-
lated Emission Reduction
Targets (ERTs). The ERTs will
be essential in driving the
transition away from coal
to renewable energy. The
government will announce
an interim target in late 2016
for action between 2017 and
2020. It will also announce a
long-term emissions reduc-
tion target later in 2016.
This stands in strong con-
trast to the federal govern-
ment who, as if trapped in
a time-warp, sit and await
the end. Some state govern-
ments, not necessarily be-
cause they are environmen-
talists (heaven forbid), but
because it makes sense on so
many levels are now leading
the move to a more sensible
future. Queensland which
depends so much on export-
ing coal is one state that can-
not see its way clear to break
free from fossil fuels and
therefore their legacy. I look
forward to the day when
they can break free. Mean-
while the federal govern-
ment’s response to the states
initiating action on climate
change is firstly embarrass-
ment then anger, or is it the
other way round. Whatever
the feeling the reaction from
our esteemed federal lead-
ers is always the same: con-
demnation. Hence, when
South Australia suffers from
a weather event the federal
government, instead of see-
ing it for what it is, stronger
weather events directly
caused by climate change,
blames the SA government.
And meanwhile, as if on
another planet in another
time, the chairman of Shell
Australia was reported not
so long ago in the Herald Sun
as saying that opposition to
gas fracking ignored scien-
tific data. He also blamed the
inner city latte sippers: “We
have a complete failure to
transcend town hall politics
and scare campaigns from
activists in the coffee shops
of Fitzroy and Balmain to
have an informed debate on
onshore gas development,”
he was quoted.
What more need I say to
those of you who frequent
such coffee establishments?
What is your opinion?

Bacchus Marsh schools
have pedalled their way to
success at the 2016 BMX Vic-
torian School Series.
St Bernard’s Primary
School, Bacchus Marsh Col-
lege, Bacchus Marsh Pri-
mary School and Bacchus
Marsh Grammar competed
in the state-wide competi-
tion, that catered for stu-
dents (girls and boys) aged
six to 18.
A total of four events were
held over three months at
BMX clubs in Wyndham,
Knox, Park Orchards and
Bendigo.
The 12 Bacchus Marsh com-
petitors received points for
each event they took part in
and at the state final com-
petition held on October 14,
the points were tallied and
the winner of the Victorian
Schools Cycling Champion-
Bacchus Marsh College was
awarded third place in the
overall series and first in the
Western Zone series ahead
of Bacchus Marsh Primary
School and St Bernard’s Pri-
mary School.
Bacchus Marsh BMX Club
member, Samantha Sim-
monds said it was great to
see the Bacchus Marsh kids
take out the entire Western
Zone podium.
“Many of the students had
never ridden on a BMX track
let alone raced on one before,
however they were inspired
to give the schools series a
go after attending the free
‘Pumped’ sessions that were
running at the Darley pump
track earlier this year,” she
said.
“The kids didn’t just
cheer for their school, they
cheered for every single Bac-
real community thing, rath-
er than an individual school
one. The kids all helped each
other out, giving pointers
and tips, and a lot of the
students have had a boost in
confidence because of that”.
Students that participated
were Kobie Cunningham,
Kai Cunningham, Mac-

Kaitlyn Odgers, Stephanie

Locals are invited to sign
the commemorative ‘Jour-
ney to the G’ book at Ballan.
The book marks the 150th
anniversary of when an abo-
riginal cricket team travelled
from Western Victoria to the
MCG to play against the
Melbourne Cricket Club.
To commemorate the an-
niversary, the community
of Harrow in Western Vic-
toria, held a special launch
in March this year: The
Mullagh Wills Foundation
“Journey to the G”.
As part of the launch, a
Message Book is travelling
through each municipal-
ity from West Wimmera on
route to the MCG where it
will be presented for the
Boxing Day Test Match.
“The Mullagh Wills Foun-
dation was established to
recognise the tremendous
achievements of the Abo-
riginal Cricket Team in the
1860s and named in honour
of Johnny Mullagh, the star
of the team, and Tom Wills,
the original coach of the
team,” read a statement re-
leased by Moorabool Shire
Council.
Already having been dis-
played at the Lerderderg
Library, the book will be on
display at Ballan Council
offices from 2 November to
7 November, before being
passed onto Melton Council
to continue the journey.
“We invite the community
to come and write a message
in the book. It’s a great way
for people to learn about and
remember the story and be
a part of the journey to the
MCG.”
Anyone wishing to sign the
book at Ballan council office
is welcome to drop in at any
time during office hours,
between 8.30am and 5.00pm
Monday to Friday.

Bacchus Marsh Ballan Cricket

Cricket Club
The McIntyre team headed off to Woodend in
perfect weather for cricket and notched up two wins
in a row with a fantastic away victory.
After losing the toss,  the bowling  attack took over
from where they left off last week with every bowler
contributing with the ball and capturing a wicket.
With runs hard to come by on a good batting ground
the Bulls had Woodend 9/128 off their 40 overs.
All six bowlers claimed wickets with B. Payne 2/17
and R. Watson 2/32.
The batsman also got off to a decent start with the
openers P. Lalor (30) and M. Sepalia (19), getting the
score to 47 before the first wicket fell.
At one point the Bulls were 3/57 until T. McColl (42)
with some power hitting, put the game back in the
team’s favour.  Ballan 2nd X1
In the 28th over the Bulls finished 4/129 and grabbed

Matthew Cape had a rare
quiet day with the bat, scor-
ing just nine runs batting

Pritchard has flagged as pos-
sibly being a regular fixture
this season.
“The plan is for Capey to bat
at six for the year and really
control the middle order”,
Pritchard commented.
“With Hasitha Wickra-
masinghe at five, Capey at
six and Brad Barnes at seven
we don’t think any other
club in the league has a mid-
dle order that strong”.
The Lions will play their
first two-day game of the
season starting next week
as they host Ballarat-Redan
at Darley Park, with the Two
Swords coming off an open-
ing game loss to Brown Hill.
In other senior grades,
the Lions 2nd XI lost their
opening game of the sea-
son against North Ballarat,
bowled out for 150 chasing
North’s 9/191, with Craig
McDonald taking four wick-
ets. The 3rd XI played Wen-
douree on Sunday, whilst
scores from the 4th XI game
against Ballarat Fire Brigade
were unavailable at the time
of writing.
Juniors
Darley’s 2016/17 junior sea-
son in the Ballarat Cricket
Association kicked off this
past weekend, with mixed
results in their opening
games.
The Lions 16 & Under side
batted first against Wendou-
ree White on the Darley Park
turf, and were travelling
nicely at 1/61 early in their
innings with Corey Beaton
and Mitch Ward combining
well for a 45 run stand for
the second wicket before Be-
aton was tragically run out,
triggering a batting collapse
which saw the Lions dis-
missed for 81, with Beaton
(27) and Ward (22) the only
batsmen scoring in double
figures. The Lions bowled
well to have the game still in
the balance in the last over
of the game, but in the end
the Wendouree side finished
on 5/85 to win the game by
five wickets. The Lions can
now look forward to hosting
Mount Clear at the Darley
Civic Hub in their first two-
day game of the season start-
ing this Saturday.
The 14 & Under First XI also
went down in their opening
game of the season after fac-
ing a strong Ballarat/Redan
side at the Hub last Saturday.
The Devils batted first and
were bowled out for 65, with
Ryan Densley top-scoring
with 16 runs at the top of the
order, before Ballarat/Redan
made 3/77 in reply with
Densley, Noah Simmons and
Jaylen Altay all taking wick-
ets. The 14 & Under First XI
will now face Golden Point
in their first two-day game
of the season this Saturday
at Mason’s Lane.
The 14 & Under Second XI
played their opening game
on Sunday against Ballarat/
Redan Gold at Alfredton
Reserve #2, with scores un-
available at time of writing,
with the team taking on
Golden Point Blue at Mount
Pleasant Reserve in Ballarat
this Saturday.
The Lions are also field-
ing two Under 12 sides in a
Friday night competition in
the Melton Junior CA this
season. Dubbed the “Dar-
ley Pride’ and the “Darley
Cubs”, these two teams have
been in action since Friday 7
October and have performed
extremely well in their open-
ing three games, with both
teams winning two of their
opening three fixtures. The
“Pride” suffered their first
loss for the season this past
Friday in the second night
of a two-night, 20 over a side
game against St Andrew’s
Green at the Hub, and will
meet Ballan at Ballan this
