Calling Australia Home

New Citizen – Bernardine Gloury celebrates her citizenship on Australia Day. Photo – Helen Tatchell
By Helen Tatchell
“I’m an Australia Day Ambassador because
this is my country, not by birth, but where I
live,” George Ermer told the crowd at Moora-
bool’s civic ceremony at the Bacchus Marsh
hall.
Mr Ermer arrived from Hungary in 1950 at
just age 13; in 1954 he became an Australian
Citizen.
Becoming nationalised Mr Ermer said was
his proudest day and still treasures the
memory 65-years later.
“I congratulate all those who are becoming
new citizens and treasure the moment.
“There is one four-letter word we need to
say more….LOVE,” he said.
Nine people became Moorabool’s newest
Australian Citizens last Saturday along with
presentations for outstanding service to the
local community over a number of years.
Moorabool Mayor Cr Paul Tatchell asked
everyone to take a moment to reflect what a
great country we have and live in.
“….. a picture of wealth and spirit in our tap-
estry of diverse culture,” he said.
“Our CEO Mr Derek Madden is Irish, con-
ducting his first Australia Day ceremony; we
do have a multi-cultural society and there is
no greater privilege than Australia Day to
conduct a citizenship ceremony.
“No particular person is Australian, we are
one, that is important.”
Bernardine Gloury, Grant Hopkinson,
Mamta Murkute, Dorothy Umarekar, Ian,
Roseann, Lauren and Chloe O’Brien and
Paul Zammit all took the Australian Citizen-
ship Pledge-sworn under oath before family,
friends and community members.
Cr Tatchell presented Certificates of Appre-
ciation to those nominated in all categories:
The Young Citizen of the Year Appre-
ciation - Madi Addison, Thomas Bamford,
Jasmin Crampin, Ryan Enever, Abbey Kick,
Bryce Pace and Emilly Wallis.
Community Event of the Year Category
Appreciation - Anne Eskdale (Love is in the
Air fundraiser) and Kevin Harper (Ballan
Autumn Festival)
Citizen of the Year Appreciation - Gloria
Whitfield
Mayoral Award – Naomi Carr
Young Citizen of the Year was awarded to
Samantha Bradfield.
Community Event of the Year was award-
ed to Bacchus Marsh RSL Avenue of Honour
Centenary Celebration, accepted by Bruce
and Cherrison Lawton.
Citizen of the Year – Kevin Harper
And if it wasn’t more Australian to hear the
‘aussie, aussie, aussie’ chant, the Performing
Arts Headquarters (Grant street Bacchus
Marsh) performed toe tapping songs from
iconic Australian bands Cold Chisel, Silver
Chair and the Hoodoo Gurus.
Councillors Keogh, Bingham and Edwards
were in attendance alongside Catherine
King (Federal Member for Ballarat), Stephen
McGhie (Member for Melton) and Michaela
Settle (Member for Buninyong). Councillors
Dudzik, Toohey and Sullivan were apologies.

dies after
roll-over
By Meg Kennedy

Rather than celebrating the Australia Day long weekend, two families are in
mourning after another fatal accident on the Western Freeway near Gordon
claimed the life of a young female passenger, and seriously injured the female
driver.
The incident occurred just before 11.30am on Thursday, 24 January, where it is
alleged a 4WD Holden Jackaroo, travelling westbound, struck the right-hand lane

to rest on its roof, against the opposite barrier. the 18-year old driver transported to hospital via the Air Ambulance. Photos: Helen Tatchell
The passenger, a 19-year-old woman from Yarraville died at the scene; whilst
the driver, an 18-year-old Aspendale woman, remains in the Royal Melbourne
Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
It is believed the red P-plate driver over-corrected whilst steering and lost control
of the vehicle.
Victoria Police confirmed to the Moorabool News that no charges will be laid as
a result.
Local police and emergency services, including an air ambulance, responded
promptly in the sweltering 38 degrees temperature; creating extensive traffic
delays of around 5km and diversions for Ballarat-bound traffic through Gordon
via the Ballan-Daylesford Rd exit.
The accident occurred almost a week to the day where a motorcyclist died on
18 January, after allegedly hitting a steel safety barrier at the Racecourse road
overpass, on the same stretch of road.
Victoria Police Senior Sergeant Ben Young told awaiting media on the scene that
“investigations are continuing in regard to both of those incidents.”
“It’s a tragic start to the year, both state-wide, but particularly locally,” he said.
The accident occurred just before the start of Police Victoria’s Operation Amity,
which operated from Friday, 25 January until Monday 28 January 2019.
Police members targeted speed, fatigue, impaired driving, distraction and
seatbelt compliance.

Trash or Treasure?
By Meg Kennedy
A Ballan op-shop is close
to becoming a dumping
ground for hard rubbish –
and its local volunteers are
paying the price.
The Ballan Lionesss Club
Steptoes Op-Shop has re-
ported an increase of rub-
bish dumping; with broken
toys, furniture and soiled
clothing just some of the
unwanted items that are not
only taking up space, but
costing money and time to
sort through and dispose of.
Steptoes Op-Shop volunteer
Ian Erwin said the problem
has become quite costly.
“[We receive] a lot of broken
toys, and toys take up a lot of
volume. When we take it to
the tip, we’re paying by the
volume, so the broken toys
are useless,” he said.
According to Moorabool
Shire Council’s website,

dents, depending on trailer

Mr Erwin said the dumping
problem severely increases
after Christmas time, with
unwanted and broken toys
discarded to the shop.
“At the moment I’ve got
probably eight woolpacks
there of rubbish, that’s been
since Christmas. That’s all
now going to go in the tip,”
he said.
“…It starts when school
breaks up, kids are told to
clean their rooms up…yet it’s
when the rubbish comes in
that it all gets ahead of us.”
But it could be a mix of Bal-
lan’s lack of hard rubbish
collection and population
boom that makes part of the
problem.
“In the 40 years that I’ve

Lighting a start for

Park hub
By Meg Kennedy

Darley Football Netball Club has received a government-

funded boost, possibly lighting the way for its dream multi-
million-dollar facility.
The $150,000 grant, which will go toward the installation of
new 150-lux lights, makes up part of Sports Australia’s first
round of Community Sport Infrastructure Grants.
AFL Goldfields said in a statement that the new lights “will
provide Darley Park user groups and their teams much
needed match level lighting to support the growth from both
genders of their fast-growing clubs.”
Darley FNC Club Administrator Ray Newton said the club
is delighted with the news of the grant.
“To have our volunteers’ hard work finally rewarded with

funding for the very much needed lighting upgrade, is a
testament for their efforts,” he said.
Although the total cost of the lights sits at $300,000, the
remaining balance will be equally financed between Darley
Park tenant clubs and Moorabool Shire Council.
It’s welcome news for the club and users of Darley Park,
following last year’s battle with Council to make the park’s
proposed “community hub” makeover a priority.
Mr Newton said the club and its supporters will continue to
advocate for the renovation throughout 2019, after receiving
federal-level support.
“Our business case is undergoing changes to better reflect
the intended multi-purpose community usage plans,” he
said.
“We have had recent indications from the Federal
Department of Innovation, Industry & Science that they
would support funding for 50 per cent of project costs -
which is approximately $2.1 million - and we are continuing
to seek other funding partners such as the State Government,
Moorabool Shire, Community benefactor organisations and
others,” he said.
The lights are set to be installed in 2019 with a date yet to be
advised.
By Meg Kennedy
Three local community groups neighbouring the Yaloak
South Wind Farm have received a share in almost $30,000 to
help fund their projects.
Mt Wallace Hall and Reserve, Beremboke Reserve
Committee and Rowsley Landcare Group were the recipients
of a $28,000 grant from the Yaloak South Community Fund,
on behalf of windfarm company Pacific Hydro.
The funded projects include Mt Wallace Hall’s purchase
of audio/visual and sound equipment for the hall, as well
as a comprehensive security system; Beremboke Reserve’s
improvements to aging infrastructure at the reserve,
including a new front fence, car park resurfacing and
painting; and Rowsley Landcare’s aim to manage serrated
tussock patches via aerial spraying.
Rowsley Landcare President Jacob Pearce said the group’s
project couldn’t be undertaken without external support.
“The cost of aerial spraying has increased significantly over
the years and it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure
contractors for small jobs…we are incredibly grateful to
Pacific Hydro for supporting this project that will benefit the
local environment and Rowsley community,” he said.
Krista Kim, Engagement and External Affairs Manager
at Pacific Hydro, said the company is proud of how far its
Community Investment Program has come.
“…From facility upgrades to community gardens to
renewable energy projects like solar panels, Pacific Hydro
is proud to give back to the community-identified projects
and organisations that benefit the people who neighbour our
wind farms,” she said.
“Many organisations have shared feedback with us stating
that without Pacific Hydro’s help projects would not move
forward, which strengthens the importance of a program
such as this.”
Local residents and stakeholders who served on the Yaloak
South Community Partnerships Group assessed this year’s
expressions of interest to the fund.
New members to join this group will be sought in 2019, with
the next funding round opening in July.

A small group of BMLAC athletes travelled to Werribee to participate in the Inter Centre Round last

on a synthetic track. Athletes came away from the meet with many personal best results.
This Saturday the Centre will return to the normal Saturday morning competition at Masons Lane
Reserve. 
The State Combined Event will also be held this weekend at Lakeside Stadium with the following
athletes representing Bacchus Marsh - Felix Cukavac, Jonas Cukavac, Oliver Cukavac, Solomon Miesen

win in one of the coming three two-day fixtures could well
determine if they make the finals or not.
On a positive note, the Lions middle order put to bed any
external pressure concerning their fragility. In fact, it was
the middle order who would see out the run chase after the
Lions looked in some bother at 4/108, needing a further 80
runs to win with two new batsmen at the crease.
Number five batsman and youngster Joel Cadman led by
example beyond his years proving that poise and patience in
the two-day format is priceless.
The 18-year old’s 130-minute innings of 62 was the steadying
influence at one end that allowed the free hitting Hispatha
Wickramasinghe 32 (44) and Andy Metcalfe 75 (79) to do
their thing at the other.
Opener Danza Hyatt 51 (73) started the run chase in typical
style, it was the West Indians fourth 50 from six outings with
the club this season. Despite Hyatt’s consistent form at the
top of the order he would be disappointed getting out with
the score at 2/78, still 109 shy of the target.
While the win was comfortable in the end, Lions coach Mike
Alexander believes that these standards must be the bare
minimum if the Lions are to make finals.
“We did it pretty easy for most of the day,” he said.
“Ideally, we would like to have achieved the run chase with
only two or three (wickets) down.
“We bat pretty deep, the signs look good for the group Captain Michael Snaith and Jack McGregor appeal successfully for an LBW. Michael picked up 5/19 and scored 70 in the
ahead of our next three two-day games.” first innings.
Alexander recognised the contribution of English newcomer
Andy Metcalfe who has had an immediate impact.
“Andy came out (to Australia) as a travel buddie of Rick
Moore after Christmas and was keen to play some cricket,”
he said.
“His attitude and positivity has been great since his arrival.”
The Lions have recorded all five of their seasons’ wins
chasing runs (from eight attempts) while remaining winless
from four outings batting first. It will be interesting to see
what Alexander does if he wins the toss ahead of Saturday’s
mini Elimination Final against the eighth placed Brown Hill.

Hunt on for Cup

By Michael Howard
FOUR Group 1 champions were crowned on Saturday night
and now it’s time for the greatest prize in Victorian harness
racing, the $500,000 Del-Re National A. G. Hunter Cup, as the
TAB Summer of Glory heats up.
Taking place at Tabcorp Park Melton this Saturday, the must-
see showdown between Australasia’s best pacers has lured a
field worthy of that title, headlined by TAB Inter Dominion
and Pryde’s EasiFeed Victoria Cup champion Tiger Tara.
Having set Melton ablaze in December’s ID18 trainer
Kevin Pizzuto and reinsman Todd McCarthy return for the
2760m classic, but this time team Tiger Tara will confront an
arguably stronger field than that which advanced to the Inter
Dominion final.
New Zealand Trotting Cup winner Thefixer shares early
favouritism with Tiger Tara, having won the January 19
PETstock Ballarat Pacing Cup in his Australian debut for the
all-conquering All Stars stable of Mark Purdon and Natalie
Rasmussen.
Stablemate Cruz Bromac and fellow Kiwi Star Galleria,
a winner at Melton last Saturday in the DNR Logistics
Casey Classic, round out the favourites, and then there’s the
Victorian resistance.
Buster Brady and San Carlo, to be steered by reinswomen
Kima Frenning and Rebecca Bartley respectively, are
considered the best of the local hopes, but will need to be
mighty to topple the raiders.
Night two of the TAB Summer Of Glory delivered drama
in spades as four Group 1s were claimed at Tabcorp Park
Melton on Saturday night.
The headline Woodlands Great Southern Star, Australia’s
richest trotting race, was turned on its head in the lead-up
when Andy Gath’s Long Forest star Tornado Valley was
scratched the morning of the race owing to injury.
That thrust open the doors for the challengers and Victoria’s
most prolific trainer of trotters, Anton Golino, won with a
mare that pedigree buffs would say was always destined for
greatness.
Blueblood Dance Craze, a daughter of champion trotter
and brilliant producer Muscle Hill out of another superstar
performer in La Coocaracha, came from last to capture the
Group 1 ahead of Kiwi star Temporale and Ballarat’s Sky
Petite.
“This is a dream come true,” Golino said, before honouring
his biggest backer, owner Pat Driscoll, and his passionate and
hard-working team of staff.
“He’s an amazing person and he deserves this more than
anyone,” Golino said of Driscoll.
The win was secured in the hands of master trainer Mark
Purdon who had a sensational night in the sulky, also
steering Melton trainer Dean Braun’s brilliant mare Carlas
Pixel to victory in the $100,000 Schweppes Ladyship Cup.
“She’s a wonderful mare, great owners and they’re easy to
train for,” Braun said. “She’s just a beautiful horse and I’m so Saturday 26 January, Tabcorp Park Melton Race 7, Victoria
Derby Final (G1). Winner: Muscle Factory (6). Trainer: S&L
proud of what she’s been able to achieve.”

It was a Ballarat success in the TAB Multiplier 4YO Bonanza, HRV.
when Emma Stewart (trainer) and Chris Alford (driver)
combined to win with Poster Boy, who was brilliant in
upstaging TAB Inter Dominion finalists Spankem and Pats
Delight.
“They raced in the Inter … he’s first-up tonight, to do that
was pretty special,” Stewart said. “He’s a terrific horse.”
As is Muscle Factory, who was brutal and brilliant in
winning the $200,000 Woodlands Stud Victoria Derby for
Shane and Lauren Tritton.
Only weeks after lowering the mark for the quickest
Australasian three-year-old mile, Muscle Factory left all
challengers in his wake to lead all the way and win the age
classic.
“I just know this horse is a superstar and that’s how we
drove,” Tritton said.
