Chorale Carols

ALL SET TO SING - Steve with (L-R): Margaret, Gillian, Brenda and Jill. Photo Jessica Howard

By Jessica Howard
The Bacchus Marsh Choral Group will be dashing
through the bush with a kelpie by their side this festive
season.
An Aussie Bush Christmas will be performed by the
25-member choral group on Sunday December 3.
The concert is the second performance under director
Steve Aldridge and will include a mixture of Australian
and traditional Christmas carols.
Entertaining bush ballads will include The Three
Drovers, Christmas Day, Aussie Jingle Bells and
Christmas Bush for His Adorning.
The choristers, ranging in age from 40 to 80, have been
rehearsing every Wednesday night for three-months.
Mr Aldridge said the performance would include
20-songs and a number of Christmas readings.
Weve had an audience of around 100-people in the
past so we hope to see those sort of numbers again,
he said.
The Bacchus Marsh Choral Group have been
performing bi-annual concerts for over a decade.
Mr Aldridge said the group still had some original
members, however there was always room for more.
We encourage anyone to sign up as we are always
looking for new choristers, he said.
An Aussie Bush Christmas will be held at St Andrews
Uniting Church on Gisborne Road on Sunday 3
December at 3pm.
Entry is by donation and a free afternoon tea will
follow the performance.

Social support space

By Jessica Howard
Djerriwarrh Health Ser-
vices has created a safe new
haven for women in their
pregnancy journey.
The Expectant Tribe is a
pregnancy support group
that meet at the Lerderderg
Library in Bacchus Marsh
each Tuesday.
Katherine Geurts, group
coordinator and consumer
representative at DjHS, said
the tribe was established to
provide mothers with a safe
and welcoming social space.
Earlier this year, I noticed
that although there are
postnatal support groups in
the area, there was a lack of
genuine social support, she
said.
As an adult, it can be hard
to make friends throughout
the community, especially
when you are a new or ex-
pecting mother. [The group]
provides a relaxed and casu-
al support space where peo-

Geelong, Sunshine, Ballarat
and Sunbury. Some are
repeat attenders and some
come only once. We had a
mum who was getting in-
duced in the afternoon so
she came along just for the
one day and I think receiv-
ing that level of support re-
ally helped her.
Bacchus Marsh mum, Kate
Laing said she first attended
the group when she was six-
months pregnant, and has
continued to attend for the
last couple of months.
I found out about it
through the antenatal clinic
at the hospital. Its been real-
ly nice to meet other women
who are expecting. I only
moved here about a year ago,
so it was a great way to meet
women going through the
same journey as me.
Its also a really informed
place to ask those questions
that you may feel are a bit sil-
ly in a more formal setting.

Young life lost

By Helen Tatchell
Tragedy and devastation has two country
towns in mourning, Ballan and Dunkeld.
Employed as a gardener, Ballan man Steven
Tingate died after being attacked and stung
by a swarm of bees at a Dunkeld property
where he worked as a farm hand for the last
12-months. He was just 27-years old.
The incident occurred last Wednesday 15
November.
Steven, affectionately known as Tangles,
was a popular and well-liked member of
the Ballan community, participating in a
variety of sports including, tennis, football
and lawn bowls. He was also a member of
the Ballan Fire Brigade, joining as a junior
when he was 15-years old.
Local businessman and Ballan FB 3rd
Lieutenant Ian Ireland, said on facebook (9
News Western Victoria) that Stevens work
ethic was great and he didnt have an enemy
in the world.
Steven was infectious on you, you couldnt prepare a report.
but love him, he was that sort of young
man.
He will be remembered as a fun loving,
kind-hearted boy, man, team mate, fellow
student, community member, friend and
most of all, son, brother and uncle.
Steven is survived by his mother Rosalie,
father Ken, brothers Chris and Michael and
sister Rebecca, and their families.

Conversation begins on Merrimu merger

Phone 5367 5705 23 Grant Street, Bacchus Marsh
By Kate Taylor
A merger between community service
providers Merrimu and annecto is on
the cards.
Merrimu President Michael Wale
announced at the organisations
Annual General Meeting in November
that formal discussions about the
merger will soon commence.
He outlined that the merger is a result
of opportunities presented by both
the roll-out of the National Disability
Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and of aged
care reforms, which he said increase
inclusion and choice for participants.
Established over 40 years ago, Merrimu
provides services to Victorians living
with a physical, sensory or intellectual
disability and focuses on servicing the
Ballarat, Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, Melton
and Werribee regions.
Merrimu has 130 staff and turnover of
almost $5 million.
Annecto is a profit-for-purpose
community-inclusion association, and
from small beginnings in Footscray
over 60 years ago, annecto now has
a turnover of $35 million and 500
staff who provide direct support to
over 6,800 older people, people with
disabilities, their families and carers
across ACT, NSW, Queensland and
Victoria.
Merrimu CEO Frances OReilly said
with the proposed merger, Merrimu
and annecto will have greater capacity
to increase choice, flexibility and
cultural diversity in services offered
to people with disability, older people,
families and carers living in the
Ballarat, Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, Melton
and Werribee regions.
Well be able to do this through
sharing complementary practice,
knowledge, learnings and research
findings, skills, experience and
resources.
Annecto CEO Estelle Fyffe said a
wider range of service options will be
available to the merged organisations
clients.
These include support co-ordination,
accommodation and community aged
care options, information, advocacy
and developing new housing models.
Within the next few weeks, Merrimu
and annecto will facilitate staff, client
and family consultations to bring in
stakeholder engagement and contribute
to the conversations, services and levels
of engagement.

Alternate energy sources rise from valley

By Jessica Howard
The majestic and mammoth
wind turbines protrude out of the
Yaloak valley, like the sun rising
each morning; and they are not
hard to miss if driving along the
Ballan/Geelong road, southeast of
Fiskville.
Construction is well and truly un-
derway at the site of Yaloak Souths
new wind farm.
Moorabools first utility-scale
wind turbine was assembled and
in the air in late October.
Pacific Hydros Senior Project
Leader, Adam Chandler said the
project, comprising of 14 wind
turbine generators, is expected to
be completed in the first quarter of
2018.
Despite the project only having
14 turbines, managing the build
and ensuring safety requires a
great amount of coordination, he
said.
From delivery of components, to
crane lifting works, commissioning
of the electrical systems, and con-
struction of the power transmis-
sion equipment, our tireless project
team have successfully steered the
many parts of construction, keep-
ing it on track and minimising the
impacts on our neighbours and the
community all on a farm still ac-
tive with cropping and livestock.
Civil and earthmoving works
were completed earlier this year,
including concrete foundations
weighing over 700 tonnes each.
Mr Chandler said all products
used in the works were sourced
locally.
A large crane used to assemble
the turbines was transported by 27
trucks straight from another wind
farm project in Western Victoria.
Mr Chandler said the 750 tonne
machine is assembled next to each
turbine and once completed, is
dismantled and moved to the next
turbine.
Oversize components are being
delivered with escort vehicles and
out of peak hours wherever possi-
ble, he said.
We aim to keep within our stand-
ard hours of construction (7am-
6pm Mondays to Fridays, and 7am
to 1pm on Saturdays) wherever
possible. However, due to weather
conditions and technical consider-
ations some out of hours work may
need to occur, including crane lift-
ing and turbine assembly works.
We make every effort to pro-
vide advance notice to our project
neighbours and the public.
Mr Chandler said the project
team is working to have all of the
turbines assembled, installed and
commissioned by early next year.
Further project advancements in-
clude the delivery of the last tower
sections from South Australia and
the assemble of a further 10 wind
turbines in addition to the four cur-
rently completed.
Regular project updates are avail-
able through www.pacifichydro.
com.au.

Newly elected Mayor Paul

Tatchell has outlined his vi-
sion for Moorabool over the
next 12-months.
And as far as his focus goes,
its all about laying the foun-
dations for future growth.
I wont be cutting ribbons,
my role is to concentrate on
long term infrastructure,
Mayor Tatchell told the
Moorabool News.
He said that a key part of
that will be attracting fund-
ing and support for Moora-
bool as it grows, particu-
larly as population growth
continues to spread into the
shire.
Decentralisation is a key
point for Moorabool - weve
got higher growth than
Ballarat and Melbourne, in
practical terms, so weve
become a key point in de-
centralisation and now its
a matter of making sure we
have the infrastructure to
support that, and manage it
better.
We have the high-
est growth, and the least
amount of funding. And
thats with some fairly
healthy input from the feds
as well as ours.

ture of the Moorabool shire.
But there will be no silver
bullet solution, even with
more opportunities for gov-
ernment funding as antici-
pated in the lead-up to the
state and federal elections.
The solution will, however,
involve surrounding shires
working together to cross
electoral boundaries.
We need to get rid of the
invisible fences, and start
acting like a region. The first
part of that is the Parwan
precinct so that we have
an employment zone - the
second part is to make sure

Saddling up winning jockeys

By Jessica Howard
This years Ballan Cup winning
jockey won more than just bragging
rights at the annual Ballan Jockey
Club races.
Brandon Stockdale, who rode five-
year-old bay gelding Gold Fields
to victory on Saturday (November
11), was presented with a saddle
created by Balliang East resident
Brian Luke.
A jockey turned saddler, Mr Luke
founded Luke Jockey Saddles in
1992 and has exported to most
racing countries around the world.
Mr Luke said he was thrilled to
present the 240-gram red and black
saddle to Stockdale.
Last month when Ballan hosted
the Emirates Melbourne Cup Tour,
my son Cameron was the MC for
the evening and we got talking to
Billy Smith (Ballan Jockey Club
President) and I said I would throw
in a saddle for the winning jockey,
he said.
I was really excited to present
it on Saturday; it makes you feel
good to be able to give a bit back to
the jockeys.
Gold Fields claimed his sixth win
from 18 starts over the 1500-metre
journey at Geelong Racecourse.
Stockdale said he had ridden the
horse before, recording most of the
wins aboard Gold Fields.
I get on well with the horse and
we had the widest barrier for the
Cup.
He is a real momentum horse and
I got rolling from the 600-metre
mark and he just towed me in to
the straight and away he went.
Stockdale believes the horse would
run well over 2000 metres and cant
wait for Mornington trainer Logan
McGill to step him up.
Gold Fields drew away from the
pack and won by just under two
lengths from Darren Weir trained
Imperator Augustus.
It is great to get the gold cup
as a jockey and a bonus to get a
saddle also; a very generous gift,
Stockdale said.
Mr Luke said it was a good feeling
knowing Stockdale would go on to
ride in one of his saddles.
It gives me a bit of a kick, I had an
excellent day and Ill definitely be
back next year.
Mr Lukes saddles have been worn
by five Caulfield Cup and three
Melbourne Cup winning horses,
including Brew (2000), Media
Puzzle (2002) and Protectionist
(2014).
The Ballan Cup race was
sponsored by the Ballan & District
Community Bank, with other local
sponsors including: Moorabool,
Wind Farm, The Moorabool News,
Tatchells Transport, Avis Ballarat
(Rix Cars), Ballan District Health
& Care, Premier Fencing and Ace
Kitchens & Cabinetry.

New ship of the desert docks
By Jessica Howard
If you see a baby camel
hanging around Moora-
bool - dont worry, its not a
mirage.
A female calf was born at
Anthony Mardesichs camel
farm in the Rowsley Valley
on Monday November 6.
Rowsey (pronounced Ro-
sie) is the first successful
offspring for Mr Mardesichs
business, Melbourne Camel
Hire, and is one of 14 camels
that live at the 50-acre farm.
It all happened pretty
quick, Mr Mardesich said.
The mother was pregnant
for 12-months and four
days, but once she went into
labour, the calf was out in
about 20-minutes, and in
45-minutes she was up and
drinking.
Mr Mardesich said the calf,
which is named after the
Rowsley Valley, is all legs.
She is very cute. The moth-
er is a lovely, quiet camel and
she let me and the kids come
up close and see the baby.
Mr Mardesich moved from
Hoppers Crossing to the
Rowsley Valley with his wife
and two sons, aged three

Heartfelt day for House
By Jessica Howard
Over 140 ladies, and one
gentleman, frocked up to
celebrate this years Oaks
Day races locally.
The charity event, held at
The Plough in Myrniong,
raised close to $4,000 for
Darley Neighbourhood
House.
Owners of The Plough,
Mark and Ruth Mills said
tickets for the event sold out
in the weeks prior, with a to-
tal of $1,460 donated through
ticket sales alone.
Ms Mills said the initial
plan for the fundraiser was
to purchase a heart defibril-
lator for the House, however,
after the success of the event,
the committee would now
branch out when allocating
the money raised.

Camels are very, very

For the day to be as suc-

Swap a fine for food Dont be a drip, be prepared By Jessica Howard

By Jessica Howard
Moorabool library members
can erase their overdue fines
by donating non-perishable
food items back into the
community.
The Ballan and Lerderderg
Libraries will waive $2 from
library fines for every item
of packaged non-perishable
food that is donated.
The food will then be passed
on to Ballan District Health
& Care and The Neighbours
Place in Bacchus Marsh.
Ballan District Health and
Care Social Worker, Astrid
said the donations would
aid BDH&Cs small food
bank that assists community
members in times of crisis.
The Librarys annual do-
nation tops up our supplies,
helping us to help our com-
munity, she said.
We are really grateful to
the Moorabool Library Ser-
vice for the initiative.
The Food for Fines cam-
paign will run until Friday
December 1.
Sam, from Moorabool Shire
Library Services, said the
drive will run off the back of
last years success.
A lot of people used the
service last year, which is

why we have continued the
drive again, she said.
Donated food must have
its packaging intact with
use-by dates no earlier than
February, 2018.
Fines will be waived for
overdue charges only, not for

damaged or lost books.
Community members, who
are not members of the li-
brary, are also encouraged to
donate.

Western Water has remind-
ed Bacchus Marsh residents
to consider their water sup-

Graham Holt, Western

although well-prepared for
the fire season, Western
Waters networks can be af-
fected by fire too.
In the event of a fire, if elec-
tricity is cut or water infra-
structure is affected, pumps

HAVE YOUR SAY OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PLAN
AND ASSOCIATED MOWING SERVICE REVIEW
Moorabool Shire has developed a maintenance management plan for Parks & Gardens and
undertaken a review of its grass mowing services. Residents are being given an opportunity
to make a submission to the draft Open Space Maintenance Management Plan and associated
Mowing Service Review, after Councillors resolved recently to exhibit the draft documents for
public consultation.
The review of mowing services recommends the removal of 384 roadsides that currently receive
a bi-annual or annual mow. To offset this, an increase in amenity mowing across small towns is
also recommended, that will see frequencies increased and various township entrances receive
a regular amenity mowing service.
The Draft Open Space Maintenance Management Plan and associated Mowing Service Review
will be out for public consultation for 6 weeks. The documents are available on our website:
www.moorabool.vic.gov.au/consultations.

Nip tussock in the bud

Organiser, Kristy Clark said 100 per cent
of profits were donated back to The Neigh-
bours Place - a Bacchus Marsh charity that
serves disadvantaged people who are in
need of emergency food relief.
We were absolutely stoked to not only put
on a successful event but also kick our pre-
vious maximum right out of the park, she
said.
When we went to the Neighbours Place
to hand over the cheque, they were actually
installing a new fridge as their old one had
blown up.
It was perfect timing as the money donated
to them covered the cost of the new fridge
and gave them a further $800 to work with.
Jackie Tabone, volunteer coordinator at The
Neighbours Place, said the emergency food-
bank was extremely honoured and happy.
The donation will help in the purchase of
the new fridge and as Christmas is around
competition.
The annual Zombie Walk also saw peo-
ple descend on the Main Street of Bacchus
Marsh dressed in costume.
Ms Clark said this years success was a re-
sult of having a fenced-off event.
In the past years, people have been able to
come and go as they please, meaning they
reap the benefits of the event, but dont actu-
ally donate to the cause.
This year, we fenced off Rotary Park, mean-
ing people paid as they arrived.

the last four years, said while a lot of work
went into the event, it was well worth it.

Darley Cricket Club

The Darley Lions have lost
their second First XI game

in a run chase against their
Grand Final nemesis from

reeling at 7/85 before Ben
Longhurst joined Herring to
put together a 75 run part-
nership to breathe some life
back into Darleys innings.
Once the partnership was
broken though, things fell
quickly as Darley were dis-
missed for 172.
Herrings 64 in his first
game for the season showed
that he quickly picked up
where he left off last season,
where he was Darleys lead-
ing run-scorer, and Long-
hursts 40 down the order
helped give Darleys innings
some respectability.
Darleys Second XI almost
snatched victory from the
jaws of defeat, with Ballarat-
Redan passing their score of
182 with only one wicket in
hand.
Seemingly set for victory
on 4/176 with only six runs

his team with a quick-fire
12 runs before his batting
partner became Hayden
Jamiesons fourth wicket of
the innings.
Jamiesons 4/56 led the way
for the Lions bowlers, with
youngsters Tyler Cox (2/17)
and Jye Stephenson (3/27)
also creating havoc during
that middle order collapse.
With 18 overs remaining in
the game, the Lions took the
opportunity for some extra
batting practice, finishing
the game on 2/49, led by an
unbeaten 30 from the in-
form Jordan Monaghan.
Lions Third XI - scores
unavailable at the time of
writing.
Rain cost Darleys Fourth
XI a victory in their one-day
game against Buninyong,
with the Lions needing just
33 more runs for victory
with time to spare and wick-
ets in hand when the rain
struck.
After losing the toss and
bowling, the Lions did a
good job of containing Bun-
inyong to just 9/155 off their
40 overs, working around
a couple of handy middle-
order partnerships to keep
the score manageable.
Anurruda Rajapaksha was
the best of the Darley bowl-
ers with 4/13 from four
overs, with Clint Salisbury
(2/25), Miles Seager (1/23),
Tahleah Ticehurst (1/32) and
Rockey Hoey (1/37) all re-
turning wickets.
Despite losing run ma-
chine Tim Gallagher for
just 17, Darley had the run
chase well in hand thanks
to a quick-fire 47 from Dar-
ren Hynes, which included
seven fours, and some solid
batting from Rajapaksha
(33 not out) and Salisbury
(15 not out) which had Dar-
ley sitting pretty at 2/122
in the 26th over before play
was halted, and eventually
unable to continue with the
match declared a draw and
both teams awarded three
points each.
Juniors
Darleys 16 & Under side
are precariously placed after
the first week of their game
against Wendouree at the
Darley Hub.
After dismissing the Red
Caps for just 80, the Lions
had to face a tricky seven
over period at the end of
the day in which the visitors
took the honours as Darley
ended play at 3/11.
A consistent bowling per-
formance saw seven of
Darleys nine bowlers for
the day take wickets, with
strike bowlers Hayden Nash
(2/10 off six overs), Ben
Taylor (2/8 off eight overs)
and Regan King (2/8 off 5.4
overs) anchoring the attack,
with Mackenzie Murray,
Ryan Densley, Miles Seager
and Jaylan Altay all taking
wickets before the Red Caps
bowlers struck back to give
the Darley middle order a
restless week ahead of the
concluding day of the game
this Saturday.
Darleys 14 & Under First
XI are also in an interesting
position after the first day of
their match against Mount
Clear.
In a game where each team
bats for 25 overs on both days
unless dismissed, the Lions
batted first to sit on 5/71 af-
ter their 25 overs, with Ethan
Thewmas 29 and captain
Aaron Cadmans 16 the only
double-figure scores, before
Mount Clear scored 9/118 off
their 25 overs, putting the
game in an interesting place
after James Martindale and
Austin MacBeth both took
two wickets, with one each
for Will Johnson, Zane Col-
ley, Rockey Hoey and Luke
Hayward.
Darleys Under 14 Second
XI bowled their way to vic-
tory in the second day of
their match against Eynes-
bury Eagles Black, winning
by 32 runs.
With a handsome score of
5/216 set last week, the Lions
held the Eagles to 8/184 off
their allotted 45 overs, and
whilst two Eynesbury bats-
men made half centuries,
no-one else scored in double
figures as the Darley bowlers
controlled the game well.
Jet Fox and Kurtis Beck
took two wickets each, with
Taine Powell, Tarkyn Hamil-
ton and Kristian Willams all
taking single wickets.
The Darley Roars Under
12 side have made a good
start in their two-day Friday
night match against Ballan,
with a handsome advantage
after the first day.
With both teams facing
20 overs each in a similar
format to the 14 & Under
First XI game, the Roar bats-
men performed brilliantly
in their 20 overs, scoring
a mammoth 0/142. Three
batsmen - Angus Jones, Ry-
der OBrien and Max Hoey
all reached the compulsory
retirement score of 30, with
OBrien actually making 33
after smacking a boundary
when he was on 29, to lead
the way. In reply, Ballan
finished on 0/79 after their
20 overs with their opening
two batsmen retiring, so if
the Roar can knock up some
quick early runs next Friday
night, it sets them up well to
win the game.
Both of Darleys Under 10
sides performed well in their
Saturday morning games
the Darley Cubs held Melton
to 6/91 from their 20 overs,
with Mackenzie Elmer tak-
ing 3/4 off four overs, Mad-
die Scott returning 2/17 and
Holly Quaife taking 1/14,
before scoring 4/104 off their
20 overs, with Scott batting
well for an impressive 22
runs.
The Darley Prowl saw St
Anthonys Green make 0/101
against them before scoring
6/82 in their turn to bat, with
Ewan Shelley smacking four
fours on his way to 19 and
Vansh Goel making 10 as the
innings top scorers.

some good fielding, Ballan restricted Mt

his first game for Ballan at the front of the
attack taking three wickets. Ballan had
a fast start with the bat despite losing a
quick wicket; Rob Lindsey and Thomas
