LUCKY early visitors to the
Loving Indigo The World
of Shigeko Asada quilt exhibition in March will receive
a handmade bookmark featuring ancient Japanese kasuri family cloth.
Friend and colleague of the
late Shigeko Asada, Chizuru Momoge, said the 1000
bookmarks were made by
four friends of Mrs Asada
using their traditional family cloth. She said the four
Japanese ladies who were
aged over 80-years-old cut
up valuable indigo-dyed
cloth which belonged to
their families in order to create the bookmarks.
Event organiser Jacinta
Davie said: They specially
made these bookmarks as
small keepsakes for visitors
to Shigeko Asadas Australian exhibition.
The women generously
used genuine kasuri cloth hard to obtain these days - to
make the bookmarks, Ms
Davie said.
She said while the ladies
couldnt make it to Ballan

Say cheeeese!
MEREDITH Dairys Chevre
goat cheese with fresh dill is
one of five cheeses selected
for Australias ultimate
cheeseboard.
The Meredith Dairy cheese
won the Australian Cheeseboard Perpetual Trophy at
the Sydney Royal Cheese
and Dairy Produce Show on
February 13.
Meredith Dairy marketing manager Rugby Wilson
said: Its recognition by
your peers and it gives you
an indication of how youre
travelling.
Ultimately consumers are
the real judge, but you want
to know if your cheeses are
true to type, he said.
Other inclusions in the
ultimate
cheeseboard
were Bega rindless cheddar
cheese (sweet recipe), the
Heritage Burne Heidi Farm
raclette, King Island Dairys
discovery ash brie, and Berrys Creek Gourmet Tarwin
blue cheese.
Meredith Dairy, which
straddles the Moorabool
and Golden Plains shires,
also won a gold medal for its
marinated goat cheese and
silver medals for its Chevre
fresh goat cheese, Chevre
goat cheese dusted with ash,
fresh goat curd and natural
sheep yoghurt.

residents
shouldnt get a shock when

Council responds to
call from Hockey
By Kate Taylor
Federal funds are being lobbied for as the May budget
approaches and Moorabool is putting its best foot
forward.
As part of the Peri Urban
Group of Rural Councils,
Moorabool is set to benefit as
the group calls on the Federal Government to direct
funds towards improving
key roads and bridges along
with mobile and internet access across the Victorian peri
urban region in its 2015/16
Budget.
Responding to a call for PreBudget Submissions from
the Treasurer Joe Hockey,
the Peri Urban Group of Rural Councils has submitted
two proposals to the Federal Government aimed at
supporting the sustainable
growth of the peri urban
region.
The proposals request the
Federal Government to direct infrastructure funds towards a region building program of fixing rural roads
and bridges and also black
spot issues for mobile phone
coverage and to address the
poor internet access in many
areas.

Heritage station
to re-open
GORDON Railway Station
will undergo a renaissance
and become a new hub for
the community thanks to a
VicTrack refurbishment.
VicTrack senior communications and government relations adviser, Nicola Holland, said the station would
be refurbished under the
Community Use of Vacant
Rail Buildings Program,
which aimed to revitalise
Victorias disused rail buildings by making affordable
spaces available for community use.
The program was funded
by the Victorian Government and administered by
VicTrack.
Many regional railway stations have iconic status and
are highly valued by local
communities, Ms Holland
said.
Rail precincts have historically been the life-blood
of communities and are
experiencing a renaissance
as they are restored to their
pride of place as a home for
creative new uses in local
communities.
She said VicTrack was working with Moorabool Shire
Council and the Gordon
community to identify how
the disused railway building
could be brought back into
use.
The Australian Railways
Historical Society will renew its existing community
lease on the building, which
is currently used as office
space. The Community Use
Program will transform the
historic station, creating
small group meeting spaces
not currently available in the
local community, she said.

Dear Editor,
I recently attended a breakfast meeting at Ballarat
Technology Park, the subject
being The Future of Wind
Industry in Victoria. During question time one of
the attending businessmen
asked why wind turbines
were not sited in Port Phillip Bay where they would
annoy no one. The answers
from the presenters, one
of whom was a wind farm
proponent and the other an
Australian Wind Alliance
representative, were quite
astounding and very revealing. They were unwilling to
deal with the protests from
the residents of Brighton,
anticipating that they would
not like cranes and all the
other disruptions associated
with building a wind farm
interrupting their lives. It
seems that if one has money,
influence and lives in the
bayside suburbs of Melbourne, one does not have to
be troubled by something as
tiresome as a wind farm development. It seems there is
one rule for the rich and one
for the lower socio-economic
groups who live in the rural
shires and have no voice.
Where does this leave the
residents of the Moorabool
Shire?

Dear Editor,
Tough Pemier Daniel Andrews doesnt like being
lied to, and as a consequence
Worksafe CEO and Chairman lose their jobs over
CFA Fiskville. On election
eve honest Dan promised
to immediately release the
business case for the East
West Link project if he were
elected. He has since refused
to do so. Sounds like a lie to
me. Can we now sack you?
Gary Matchan
Mount Doran
Dear Editor,
The cost of more public
holidays will hurt small
business.
Numerous small business
operators have contacted
me about the cost of the
two new public holidays
promised by the Andrews
Government during the
election campaign and now
being reinforced as a policy
commitment.
When questioned in Parliament recently, Minister for
Small Business Adam Somyerek could not say how much
more employers would need
to pay in penalty rates to
staff working on these public
holidays.
There are already 11 gazetted public holidays in Victoria, yet the Andrews Government thinks that Easter
Sunday should be declared
a public holiday and that
we need another holiday to
get ready for the AFL Grand
Final.
Gazetting a public holiday
so we can get ready for a
football game will make us
the laughing stock of the
nation, but this is no laughing matter to small business
leaders, who say the increase
in wages and loss of productivity will be in excess of
$650 million.

didnt come easy. The seconds toiled hard and conceded an almost 100 lead before
bowling out Wendouree for
191. Keen to regain control,
the team set about making
quick runs in the hope there
was time to bowl out the
opposition for an unlikely
come from behind win. Rohan Parag at number six did
the best at ensuring Wendouree had something to
think about when Ingvorsen
declared at 7/156. The Lions showed courage giving
Wendouree just 61 runs to
win with minimal overs to
spare, and unfortunately
the Red Caps persevered to
bat past the target with eight
wickets to spare.
The Under 14s finished minor premiers after completing the season undefeated,
and took on Ballarat Redan
at Wendouree. Darley were
sent into bat and were in
trouble early at 1/5 beforea
quick turnaround restored
faith to see the Lions make
2/67 before finishing in
front on day one with a fivewicket advantage. An early
wicket onSunday set the
way, however the opposition re-steadied giving the
Lions a nerve racking 55 run
chance to win. The young
Lions showed restraint and

DIVISION 5 - earned a
Grand Final berth the hard
way by having to win the
elimination final and then
the preliminary final to face
ladder leaders Invermay in
Saturdays Grand Final.
Invermay were the favourites for this game, however
Avenue entered the game
with the knowledge that
they defeated Invermay at
their last encounter, a few
weeks ago.
For Avenue Peter Glass rink
got off to a flyer and led 17 -7
after 11 ends. They continued to play consistent bowls
to slowly increase their lead,
and finished strongly to run
out victors by 12 shots. Alan
Thistlethwaites rink started
slowly and trailed 6-15 after
14 ends, however from that
point on they really asserted
themselves on the game,
winning the last 11 ends to
storm home by 11 shots.
Unfortunately the other
two rinks, skipped by Bob
Delaney and Dave McKendrick were up against it from
the start, with Bob Delaneys
rink at one stage trailing 7-26
but recovered over the final
ends to go down by 11 shots.
A similar story was evident
in the McKendrick rink,
which was tied with their
opponents after 13 ends,
however the opposition won
nine of the last 10 ends to
win by 22 shots.
On the day the opposition
played the better bowls,
however Avenue in only its
second year in this Division
still performed remarkably
