Learning from veterans

By Meg Kennedy
Allan Godfrey was just 17-years old when he fought in
World War II, but 80-years later he’s sharing his story
with the next generation, his great-grandson.
Myrniong Primary School students were treated to a
personal experience with the 97-year-old war veteran,
who was wearing both his own medals and those
belonging to his father who fought in World War I.
Classroom teacher Lydia Lacey said the idea for Mr
Godfrey to be a special guest came as the students were
studying the upcoming centenary of Armistice Day.
“The whole purpose of it is to show empathy and
respect for the people that fought in the war, and
the reasons why they do it…it’s all about making the
children now, our next generation, aware of who fought
in the war and make them aware of those stories,” said
Ms Lacey.
“It’s very good to see the kids learn something about
what the war was about. It’s not a nice thing but it’s got
to be done,” she said.
On what he hoped the students would take out of the
day, Mr Godfrey said he hoped “they never have to go
and be in the war themselves because it’s not a nice
place.”
“War doesn’t solve anything, we’re still back to where
we were when I was young, so that’s what we’ve got to
learn because war doesn’t solve anything…you fight to
kill someone you don’t even know, but that’s the way
the world is. It’s a violent world,” he said.
Myrniong PS student Hudson Burquest said it was
“really exciting” to have his great-grandfather come to
the school and share his story.
The Myrniong PS students’ work will be on display
at the Ballan RSL, as part of the Ballan RSL and
Ballan Shire Historical Society’s Armistice Day 100th
Anniversary Display from 5-10 November.

Nurse reprimanded for
‘professional misconduct’
By Meg Kennedy
Although the former mid-
wife linked to the deaths
of three babies at Bacchus
Marsh Hospital will never
practise again, the pain is
still raw for the families
affected.
The Australian Health Prac-
titioner Regulation Agency
(AHPRA) announced in
a statement on Friday 19
October that registered
midwife Dianne Macrae,
who was employed as an
Associate Nurse Unit Man-
ager (ANUM) at Djerriwarrh
Health Services, was found
to have “engaged in ten in-
stances of professional mis-
conduct under the Health
Practitioner Regulation Na-
tional Law.”
At a recent tribunal hearing
Ms Macrae admitted to all
allegations put forward by
the Nursing and Midwifery
Board of Australia (NMBA),
including an inadequate in-
terpretation of a foetal cardi-
otocography (CTG), a failure
to carry out a clinical assess-
ment and care, and a failure
to recognise and respond to
an urgent situation.
The tribunal reprimanded
Ms Macrae and accepted an
Movember Mo Bros Soul and Lynton
undertaking from her that
she would never apply for
registration as a midwife
again.
A former patient who lost
her baby at 41.3 weeks at
Bacchus Marsh Hospital was
present at the hearing and
told The Moorabool News
she felt the atmosphere
“was very tense, because we
didn’t have a voice in that
room”.
“What kicked me in the
guts...the tribunal said to
(McCrae)…that they could
see that ‘you’re not the same
person and that you’ve pun-
ished yourself, we don’t need
to punish you anymore’ but
it’s like, you took my baby
away,” she said.
“I’ve got to live the rest of
my life without my child…
but (she) can move on with
(her) life now, and that hurt.
That was the bit that really
hurt,” the woman tearfully
said.
On what she would say to
Djerriwarrh Health Services,
the woman said, “it would be
nice if they took into account
what they were actually do-
ing, because they knew.”
“They need to start taking
accountability, and each case

Holiday WWI volunteers

change honoured in book
approved By Meg Kennedy

Following the recent centenary celebration of the Bacchus

Marsh Avenue of Honour, the Bacchus Marsh and District Honour to whom
By Kate Taylor Historical Society will launch a new book next month that

Christmas is set to be even

more jolly – by half a day, for
Moorabool Shire Council staff.
The arrangement for office
closures over the festive
season was put to the October 3 council meeting, with staff
set to finish up at 12.30pm on Christmas Eve.
But because this year Christmas Day falls on a Tuesday,
it would mean staff would have Saturday and Sunday off
before returning to work just for half a day and then having
the following week off, until Wednesday 2 January.
At the meeting, Woodlands Ward Councillor Pat Toohey
spoke up.
“Why come back for a half-day on Monday the 24th?
Common sense would tell you we could give our staff a full
break,” Cr Toohey said.
The councillors agreed to make the change, meaning that
council offices will close on the Friday before Christmas.
Closures for other services, such as waste collection, will be
announced closer to December.
The swimming pools will be closed on Christmas Day,
sheds light on local volunteers from Bacchus Marsh who
served in World War I.
Honour is Due
Honour to whom Honour is Due: Bacchus Marsh and
District Volunteers 1914-1918, co-authored by BM&DHS Bacchus Marsh & District Volunteers
members Katrina Lyle and Katrina Bradford, tells the story of 1914-1918
463 volunteers who hailed from the Bacchus Marsh district,
including those whose names are not currently inscribed on
the Avenue.
Taking four and a half years of researching to compile,
Honour to whom Honour is Due describes the stories of local
volunteers; using first-hand evidence from personal letters
and photographs, records from the former community
paper The Bacchus Marsh Express, to the National Archives
of Australia, the Australian War Memorial and anecdotes
passed down through families.
The book also describes the community’s attitudes to
enlistment, the work of the Red Cross in supporting serving
soldiers, the animated conscription debates of 1916 and 1917,
as well as the huge well of desire to honour those who served.
Co-author Katrina Lyle says she approached the research
by compiling a data spreadsheet by “digging down” and
“noticing trends”.
Co-author Katrina Bradford said the most surprising
discovery was that “no two stories are the same.”

temperatures exceed 23 degrees.
Information on other closures including the works depots,
library services, Maternal & Child Health Centres, Darley
Early Years Hub, outdoor pools, Bacchus Marsh Leisure
Centre and Aged & Disability services will also be made
available by council closer to Christmas, along with the
emergency arrangements that will be put in place for some
areas.
“Everybody enlisted for different reasons and their records
show different stories unfolding,” she said.
On what she would like the Bacchus Marsh and surrounding
community to take away from the book, Ms Lyle says she
wants the community “to know and understand the depth
of community that was so well established and connected,”
as well as gaining a “deeper understanding of the men who
served” and the mythology around it.
“They are human first…they could have been just any boy
that you knew,” she said.
Honour to whom Honour is Due will be launched at a
morning tea event on Saturday 10 November at 2pm in
the James Young Room in the Lerderderg Library, Bacchus
Marsh, and available to purchase for $50.

Safer trek to school

By Helen Tatchell

A new footpath leading to a local primary school will see

students and families walk and cycle safely to and from
Gordon PS when the 2019 school year begins.
Moorabool Shire Council will construct the long-awaited, and
much needed path after a funding announcement by Member
for Buninyong, Geoff Howard of a $50,000 investment to build
a footpath between the school and the main road at Gordon.
“Works are expected to get underway over the summer school
holiday period and will deliver a much needed safety boost for
the students at this great local school,” Mr Howard said.
The new 300-metre footpath upgrade is part of the aim at
improving high-risk roads near local schools.
Gordon PS students and families are currently forced to walk
on the road or in long grass on their journey to and from the
school.
Mr Howard said he was pleased to have been able to deliver
this outcome when school principal “Russel Cowan came to
me seeking support for improved traffic management and
safer access for students at the school.”
Mr Cowan said safety was his primary concern.
“Having the students walking from the main road to school
on a footpath will be a major upgrade to their safety, which is
paramount,” he said.
“It’s all about student safety.”
Student Chloe said she can walk safely with her younger
sisters.
“I can then look after them better and I can go to school
having dry feet,” she said.
Gordon PS has grown from 50 students to 130 in 2018, a rise
that also creates more traffic on the roads at peak school drop
off and pick up times.
“It is great to know students don’t have to walk on roads to
school,” Mr Howard said.
The State government is in caretaker mode (Tuesday 30
October, 6pm) until the election on November 24. Mr Howard

Driver uses stolen plates

“found at creek”
By Caitlin Bewley
(1st Yr Swinburne Uni)
Multiple driving offences saw a now
Western Australian man face over $5000
worth of fines.
Sean Wyllie, an interstate truck driver,
described his actions in the Bacchus Marsh
court, over a yearly period as a “bad time in
[his] life”.
The accused was allegedly caught on
four separate occasions between July 2017
and February 2018, either driving whilst
suspended or driving in unregistered
vehicles.
It was on April 9 of this year that Wyllie
was intercepted in Melton’s south, sporting
stolen plates on his black Holden ute.
Prosecutor Senior Constable Lisa
Schoemaker told the court the accused was
travelling 162km/h in a 60km/h zone along
Bacchus Marsh-Geelong road.
Upon noticing Wyllie’s excessive speed,
police officers attempted to intercept the
accused, to which he drove along the
emergency lane in order to avoid stop sticks.
It is alleged that Wyllie avoided the stop
sticks on two occasions before police were
able to end the pursuit.
“He never attempted to stop in pursuit,” the
prosecutor said. “The plates were also stolen
on April 3 of this year.”
Upon being questioned, the accused
allegedly told police that “[I] reckon I was
doing 100 In an 80 zone. I found the plates
at the creek and put them on my ute,” Wyllie
told the court.
“I did the wrong thing. But I’m not a bad
person. I do a lot of good things too,” he said.
Wyllie was convicted and fined a sum of
$5024.30, and his licences were disqualified
for six months.

Their project was unsuccessful receiving
less than 50 votes.
Mr Rogers said they were outnumbered.

Mr Prewett said, “with this cutting edge,

“I returned home from Europe three days

Magistrate Saines said it was a question of
overall road safety.
“You were travelling at exceptionally high

total of $82.40 in court costs. His licence was
also suspended for six months.

alike.
Mr Rogers arrived at the Lady Northcote

kilometres from Bacchus Marsh) at just six
years old in 1951. He left ten years later.

sale and rental of real estate.
Our policy platform con-
tains several issues which
are of particular importance
to Regional Victoria. We
would like the next Victorian
Government to investigate
a Parliamentary Inquiry to
identify how Melbourne’s
growing reputation as a
global elite city can benefit
Regional Victoria (as there
was in NSW).
The NSW Inquiry looked
at expanding mechanisms
around international trade,
infrastructure, tourism,
innovation and research
through better collabora-
tion across all levels of gov-
ernment or through more
targeted investment of
resources.
We’re also asking for poli-
cies that will improve em-
ployment outcomes for
young people in Regional
Victoria. Specifically, fur-
ther incentivising real estate
businesses in the regions by
reintroducing payroll tax
exemptions and improv-
ing education and training
opportunities, particularly
for new entrants in country
areas.
The REIV is also calling
for the section of the Es-
tate Agents Act 1980 which
prohibits an estate agent
from selling a property to
associated parties to be re-
pealed. This is unworkable,
especially in country towns
where people are more like-
ly to know each other, and
significantly affects small
businesses by restricting
their capacity to receive fair
commission for their work.
Please visit the REIV web-
site to read the full 2018 State
Election Priorities Paper.

The Road To ID18 Cranbourne Cup

Saturday 27th October
By Michael Howard

THE return of the 2018 TAB Inter

Dominion Trotting Championship
couldn’t have come at a better time for
Andy Gath’s Long Forest stable, with
Tornado Valley again proving himself
at the top of his class at Cranbourne on
Saturday night.
The square-gaiting series hasn’t been
held since 2012, when hosted at Tab-
corp Park Melton while that year’s Inter
Dominion pacing series was held some
3000km away at Perth’s Gloucester
Park.
This December the pacing and trotting
championships will be united for the
first time since 2011, beginning with
heats at Melton (December 1), Ballarat
(December 4) and Cranbourne (Decem-
ber 8) before the showcase final back at Saturday 27 October, Cranbourne Race 7, Cranbourne
Melton on December 15. Gold Cup (G2). Winner: San Carlo (6). Trainer: Stephen

nado Valley was dominant in Saturday
night’s Aldebaran Park Chris Howe
Trotters Free For All, winning by more
than 13m from fellow likely ID18 con-
testants Sky Petite (second), Kyvalley
Blur (third), Father Christmas (fourth)
and Red Hot Tooth (fifth).
To further frank his form, Tornado Val-
ley stripped 0.6 seconds off the course
record set by Keystone Del in 2016.
SATURDAY night’s Decron Cran-
bourne Gold Cup also served up a
pivotal pre-ID18 pacing teaser, with
Victorians San Carlo and Shadow Sax
putting in bold showings to run first
and third, separated by Inter Dominion
pacing favourite Tiger Tara.
The latter is fresh from winning
the Pryde’s EasiFeed Victoria Cup at
Melton and put in a mighty run from
the breeze but couldn’t overcome Re-
becca Bartley (driver) and Stephen
O’Donoghue’s (trainer) San Carlo, who
was second up from a spell and looks
to have returned at the top of his game.

heat and a subsequent finalist, San Car-
lo looks well placed to give December’s
series a mighty shake and, along with
Shadow Sax, may be the most likely
Victorians to resist the interstate and
New Zealand charge.
MENIN Gate, the much-loved Birchip
Bull, is likely to rocket up the TAB Inter
Dominion pacing rankings when the
third allotment is released on Wednes-
day at www.id18.com.au
After a long lay-off due to injury the
2015 Victorian Horse of the Year re-
turned in fine fettle for new trainer Mi-
chael Stanley, from Burrumbeet, to lead
all-the-way and win the 3SH Swan Hill
Pacing Cup on October 20.
It has form experts tipping that the
front runner will surge from 72nd in
the rankings to inside the top 30, which
would put him in place to get a start in
the first Inter Dominion heat at Tabcorp
Tabcorp Park
Park Melton on December 1. Friday 26th October
“The one thing that stood out the most
for us was that he still had that fight,”
Stanley said. “Now we can press on
with great confidence.
“(The Inter Dominion) is the pinnacle
of our sport. That’s what we all grow
up dreaming to win. Just to be com-
peting in an Inter Dominion is a great
thought let alone thinking about win-
ning one, so we won’t get too far ahead
of ourselves.”

Youthful Lions Tough Mudder 2018

Show Postive Signs St Anne’s Winery Myrniong Photos: Tim Saultry

Darley Cricket Club

By Todd Whelan

The Darley Lions First Grade XI rounded out a tough

initiation into season 2018/19 with a nine-wicket loss to
ladder leaders Brown Hill at the Western Oval last Saturday.
The Lions suffered their fourth consecutive loss against top
four opposition and find themselves winless at the bottom
of the table.
However, there were signs of improvement despite the
Lions inability to bat out their allotted 50 overs yet again
after being sent in.
The top order all reached double figures. Ryan Ali (14),
Lachie Herring (21), Mike Alexander (10) and Brad Barnes
(17) all started well but were all back in the pavillion with
the score on 71.
The middle and lower order led by young guns Joel Cadman
(49) and Mitch Ward (23) led the resistance, guiding the Lions
to their highest score of the season - all out for a competitive
177. The last six wickets for the Lions had been falling like
dominoes in recent times (6/48, 6/41, 6/26). Cadman, Ward
and Hoey (18) ended an ordinary month for the club ‘closing
out’ with the bat. The Lions added 106 for their last six
wickets on Saturday; clearly their best return.
Playing coach Mike Alexander conceded the problems with
the bat start at the top.
“We look comfortable (with the bat) for most parts, then we
just give-up our wicket with ‘get out’ shots,” he said.
“It does get frustrating, it’s not like they’re beating the
bat at all, most of our chances are in front of the wicket.
It’s obviously an execution issue on the back of some poor
concentration.”
Alexander is confident the club will be better for the
hardened experience of the opening month.
“Our youth have been outstanding, they’re contributing
with bat and ball and their energy in the field especially has
had a positive effect on the group.”
“Sixteen-year old Jordan Monaghan (6) debuted for us after
some form with the bat in the twos, while Joel (Cadman),
Mitch (Ward) and Corey (Beaton) are all pulling their weight.”
According to Alexander, the 177 posted by the Lions was
under par.
“I thought we needed 200 when we took to the crease, but
we fell short. Everyone got starts, it was disappointing we
couldn’t go on with it,” he said.
“We didn’t give ourselves much chance with the ball. Our
guys bowled too many ‘four balls.”
“Ben Longhurst bowled terrific and Corey Beaton created a
couple of chances but that was about it.”
Brown Hill (1/179) in reply did it comfortably reaching the
target of 177 for the loss of just one wicket with 9.3 overs
remaining. The ladder leaders smashed 27 boundaries in
their run chase and remain undefeated.
Darley (10th) are at home this week for a round five meeting
with North Ballarat (6th) at Darley Park.
Play starts at noon.
