Trio of champs

Yellow and black was a dominant presence,
as were the Antarctic weather conditions
at Mars Stadium, at the Central Highlands
Football and Netball Leagues Grand Final
matches.
Unfortunately for Springbank they could
only bring home one premiership from five
games, the B-Grade netball collected the
silver Cup in a 36-23 defeat over Hepburn.
It was an abrupt end for the 2019 season
with Under 15 and Reserves football and
the C and A Grade netball teams losing their
games.
Dunnstown (13&Under) and Bungaree
(17&Under) could only manage one finals
team each, represented in the netball with
both taking a loss against Carngham and
Learmonth.
But the day really belonged to nearby
neighbours Gordon, with a 100 per cent
average for the day, two wins from two
matches equals two Premiership shields.

scored convincing victories over Springbank
by 36-points and Buninyong by 38-points.
Darcy Frantz and Connor Ascough were
honoured with Best on Ground performance
medals. Connor was in his first year with the
Eagles, after an earlier junior career at Darley.
A sea of green and gold fans commandeered
a full section of the grandstand, happy with
the wins that has not seen the Under 18s in
a grand final since 2007. The drought was a
bit longer for the Under 15s, 1999 was there
last victory, although a grand finalist in 2018,
the boys were runners-up. 2019 has just been
‘two-true’ for the club.
League Coach of the Year Michael Anderson
(Under 18s) would not believe the win until
the final siren sounded.
“It is not over until the buzzer goes,” he said.
“I congratulate Buninyong on their efforts
and a great game today, we have both had
a good year,” Anderson said during grand
final speeches.
“This is unbelievable, we have won a
premiership!” (continued in sport – page 21)

First the Avenue and

now the RSL
By Meg Kennedy
The Avenue of Honour recently celebrated its centenary,
and now the Bacchus Marsh RSL Sub-branch will
celebrate its own 100-year anniversary.
The centenary celebrations will be held on Sunday, 15
September; including a service, open day, cake-cutting
ceremony, a guest speaker and award presentations by
Victorian RSL President Dr Rob Webster.
The sub-branch was established in September 1919 after
Lt Packington Vallence, a Bacchus Marsh local, returned
to Australia after serving in World War I.
As well as the centenary of the RSL, the ceremony will
also celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Bacchus Marsh
Women’s Auxiliary.
Bacchus Marsh RSL President Cherrison Lawton said
it was important to acknowledge both the important
milestones in the RSL sub-branch’s history.
“It is [part] of the RSL; [the Women’s Auxiliary] is not a
separate organisation, so we will celebrate as one because
they were involved in the same work,” she said.
Historically, the Women’s Auxiliary was comprised of
the partners of servicemen, and allowed a chance for
women to be actively involved with the RSL.
“How they felt involved was to come and assist, be in the
auxiliary and help their husbands, and for women who
didn’t have any attachments, to come in and help,” said
Ms Lawton.
As well as a service to commence the event, the day
will also see a speech from Bacchus Marsh RSL member,
Lt Col Richard Simson, who is currently serving in the
Australian Defence Force (ADF).
Ms Lawton hopes the event will allow the public to have
a “better understanding of the involvement of RSL in the
community.”
“We hope [they understand] how vital the RSL is to
support our members and returned members of the ADF;
as well as the ones in transition, and those who have
served or have been part of the ADF,” she said.
The RSL is also calling-out to the public for any
memorabilia they may wish to be part of the display on
the day.
The Bacchus Marsh RSL Sub-branch will celebrate its
100th anniversary on Sunday, 15 September, commencing
with a service at 10.30am at the Bacchus Marsh RSL Hall,
located at 203 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh.
For more information, and if you have memorabilia that
may be appropriate for display, contact Bacchus Marsh
RSL on 5367 1855.

Interlock there for a reason

By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A woman appeared in the Bacchus Marsh
Magistrate’s court in hopes of having the
interlock condition removed from her
licence, regardless of her 25 violations.
Magistrate Johnathan Klestadt asked Julie
Castleman on Friday 30 August about her
failed attempts to start her vehicle between
2015-2018, saying that it seemed to have
taken her a “long time to wake up to the
issues of drink driving.”
Castleman told Magistrate Klestadt that
she was no longer a drinker, and that one of
the failed attempts to start her vehicle was
caused by her partner.
“I thought the camera would show that it
was him, not me,” she said.
“[The interlock is used to] try and provide
you with assistance to avoid breaking the
law,” Magistrate Klestadt said.
“You don’t understand, it’s a learning
experience,” Castleman rebutted.
“I’m happy to be 0.00 if you take the interlock
off [her licence],” she said.
Magistrate Klestadt adjourned the accused’s
hearing to November 29, telling her that if
she had no further violations, the interlock
condition would be removed from her
licence.

Gauging the rainfall for the last 100-years

By Meg Kennedy

A family that has recorded rainfall for

more than a century has been officially
acknowledged by the Australian Bureau of
Meteorology (BOM).
John Molesworth was thanked on behalf of the
Molesworth family at a ceremony on Friday,
30 August, for their dedication to measuring
rainfall at the historic Ballark homestead.
The Molesworths have recorded rainfall since
1889, with records contributing to Australia’s
national climate database.
Representatives of BOM visited the
picturesque property in Morrisons to present
the Molesworth family with a memento
barometer plaque, an official document from
BOM, and a record of every year of rainfall
recorded by the Molesworth family.
“Efforts like these – and particularly the long-
term, reliable efforts – it may only be a little bit
of time every day, it really adds up,” said BOM
State Manager Dr Andrew Tupper.
“Long term climate records are gold for our
climatologists, our examination of climate
change and of natural variability, and our
understanding of place,” he said.
“The Bureau may be the custodian of the
climate record, but volunteers like the
Molesworth’s have helped make it happen.”
Mr Molesworth said he checks the rain gauge
– a round, bronze object located a few metres John Molesworth gauges the rainfall at Ballark. Photos – Helen Tatchell
away from his house – every day at 7am.
“These days, people look at their phones, and
they’re all expects on the weather; [for] farmers,
weather is a really important management of
farming,” he said.
Although he’s been observing the weather for
decades, Mr Molesworth has doubts about the
current discourse around global warming and
climate change.
“People are saying we’re heading for disaster…
the climate is forever changing, but I believe it’s
all happened before, what we’re going through
now,” he said.
“My father before me, he took a lot of notice
of the weather; he also said if we knew more
about nature, we’d know a lot more about the
weather.”
The current Molesworth family have been
on site at ‘Ballark’ since 1954 when John’s
father Bob took over the property from his
grandfather John Matheson Molesworth. John
resides at Ballark with his wife Liz, daughter (L-R) John Molesworth is presented his
Kate with son James, Claire and sons Sam and barometer plaque by BOM State Manager
Will. Dr Andrew Tupper. (L-R) John, Liz and James Molesworth.

Paperwork tasks made easier
By Meg Kennedy
Filling out forms and navigating websites are
tasks many of us take for granted, but a service
in Moorabool will assist those who need help
with documents and internet literacy.
A new program at the Lerderderg Library in
Bacchus Marsh is dedicated to help complete
the every-day tasks of filling in forms, reading
documents, writing important letters and
more, through the new ‘Paperwork Lounge’
service.
Moorabool Shire Mayor Cr Paul Tatchell
officially launched the Paperwork Lounge at
the Library last Thursday, 5 September, along
with representatives from the State Library
of Victoria, Lerderderg Library, The Laurels
Community College, and volunteers for the
service.
The Lerderderg Library was one of just nine
successful applicants to receive funding from
the State Library of Victoria to help get the
project off the ground.
Cr Tatchell said at the launch the service was
“fantastic” as “you cannot move throughout
this world, or in any government departments,
without using [technology] equipment.”
“The frustration for those people when
they’re not able to do anything, because they
don’t know how to do it; to be able come to
the library and have people say, ‘I’ll give you
a hand, we’ll work together’…is fantastic”, he
said.
“Libraries are the mould; today they’re
learning centres, they’re places that people go,
and they’re places where people come to help
and keep communities together – especially
in regional areas, where we are somewhat
isolated.”

animals, have your say

The State Government is inviting Victorians
to provide feedback on proposed new
regulations to prevent cruelty to animals in
Victoria.
Minister for Agriculture Jaclyn Symes
announced the opening of consultation
on the proposed Prevention of Cruelty to
Animal (POCTA) Regulations 2019, which
will make improvements on important
animal welfare issues including:
- Animal transportation and tethering
requirements
- Use of pain relief for mulesing of sheep
- Sale and use of wildlife-safe fruit netting
- Sale and use of electronic devices
- Approvals and other processes related to
the use of traps
- Operational and administrative processes
for rodeos
-S
 cientific procedure record-keeping,
the sourcing of animals, and training of
Animal Ethic Committee members.
The POCTA Regulations aim to protect the
welfare of animals in Victoria by supporting
the state’s primary animal welfare legislation
to prevent, or minimise, harm through
regulation of specific activities.
The proposed new regulations and
associated Regulatory Impact Statement can
be viewed on the Engage Victoria website.
The new regulations will replace the
existing regulations, which expire on 15
December.
Consultation is open until Thursday, 26
September.
For more information, visit engage.vic.
gov.au/prevention-cruelty-animals-draft-
regulations-2019
Resources to help you manage serrated
tussock are now just a click away thanks to
a major upgrade of the Victorian Serrated
Tussock Working Party’s (VSTWP) website.
The website has been completely overhauled
and rebuilt, including the addition of a new
video gallery, information notes and the
latest research.
The Working Party has also developed
new online videos and case studies for
landholders to learn more about this noxious
weed.
Serrated tussock (Nassella trichotoma) is
a South American grass which can quickly
invade and degrade both native grasslands
and pastures.
It is regarded as one of the worst weeds
in Australia because of its invasiveness,
potential for spread and economic and
environmental impacts.
VSTWP Acting Chairperson Lance Jennison
(Bacchus Marsh) said the revamped website
was a great improvement.
“I would encourage anyone who has not
recently visited the website to discover the
resources available and services on offer to
landowners and groups.
“Over the past 12-months, Extension Officers
assessed more than 11,000 hectares of land
for serrated tussock, with 357 hectares found
to be infested,” Mr Jennison said.
“More than 90 per cent of infestations were
voluntarily treated by landowners involved
in the program.”
The VSTWP website also features notes
on best practice management for serrated
tussock, photo libraries, identification
guides, current VSTWP projects, and reports.
Mr Jennison said of particular interest are
the five-minute landowner success story
videos.
“…which provide detailed information
about how landowners have succeeded
in managing serrated tussock on their
property.”

website upgrades.

Soldier thistle given

marching orders
Soldier thistle, a regionally
prohibited weed, will be the
focus of Agriculture Victo-
ria biosecurity staff over the
coming months.
With infestations of the
weed confirmed in the north
central catchment (Swanwa-
ter, Gooroc and Marnoo),
surveillance of about 100
properties, including pri-
vate property, public land
and roadsides, is set to get
underway.
Agriculture Victoria Lead-
ing Biosecurity Officer
Michael Moerkerk said sol-
dier thistle posed a sig-
nificant risk to agricultural
enterprises.
“It competes with crops
and can choke harvesting
equipment,” he said.
“The sharp spines of the
plant can injure animals and
it is generally avoided by
stock.”
In spring, soldier thistle is
easily identified by its pink-
purple flowers, which form
in clusters.
It grows to about one me-
tre high and its leaves are
covered with fine white
hairs and yellow spines
between 1-1.5 centimetres
long, giving them a woolly
appearance.
Mr Moerkerk said soldier
thistle is primarily found
along fence lines, roadsides,
channel and dam banks and
neglected areas of land.
The soldier thistle is quite identifiable with many spiny
leaves and central flower. Photo – Agriculture Victoria
“It is most commonly
spread by the wind however
seeds can also be carried on
animals, vehicles, machin-
ery and in water,” he said.
The aim of the surveillance
programs being carried out
is to identify infestations,
provide best practice control
advice and to prevent the
weed spreading into unaf-
fected regions.
“An integrated approach
involving all land manag-
ers across all land tenures
is the most effective way to
achieve long term control,”
Mr Moerkerk said.
“Good farm hygiene and
biosecurity practices can
prevent the spread of soldier
thistle into new areas and
also prevent further spread
in already infested areas.
“Incorporating control of
soldier thistle into your in-
tegrated pest management
plan is vital to prevent fur-
ther spread and impacts to
neighbours and the broader
region.”
With the Moorabool area
short on animal fodder (hay/
grain) this past winter, Agri-
culture Victoria confirmed
to the Moorabool News that
the soldier thistle seeds can
be transported via bales
of hay, if sourced from the
north central catchment.
For more information about
weed management visit the
Agriculture Victoria web-
site. To report the weed, call
the Customer Service Centre
on 136 186.

Flanagans Border Inn
opened in 1850, in one of
Victoria’s most historical
towns, Bacchus Marsh. The
Border Inn was essentially
the means for the town
to come into existence. In
1851 it became the first
coach stop on the road to
the Ballarat gold diggings
(and thus the first coach-
stop in the state) and
Bacchus Marsh essentially developed around this traffic. Today it is
still an icon in the town.

Dear Editor,
This letter is not an attack on councillors
or council staff; however, it is an attack on
councils in their current form.
There are no reasons why the state
government cannot take full control of
council services, given that most services are
contracted out, a reformed Vicroads would
be responsible for all roads.
State control would result in cost saving as
uniform standards would be in place for all
rules, regulations and services resulting in
benefits for business and greatly improved
transparency and accountability.
It would mean State and Federal politicians
would be less able to buck pass through not
being able to hide behind a council.
Currently the state government has
reviewed property valuations, which has
a direct impact on taxpayers cost of living
and the state government will continue to
increase rates while not providing services
required by a growing population that they
support.
Perhaps if councils where to go the way of
the dodo, then we may have a democracy
that is more accountable.
If the current state government and councils
wants the building industry to survive, then
council rates must be reduced by 20% and all
future increases to be the inflation plus 1.5%
as people will not be able to afford to buy
a house and also pay extreme council rates
and indeed some people may have to sell.
Increasing rates will also increase rent.

Dear Editor,
To ‘National Park’ Wombat Forest or not?
There are many disadvantages to converting
a State forest into a National Park.
In the interest of inclusivity, why not keep the
status quo and let visitors travel on existing
tracks, be it by car, 4WD or motorcycle.
If the Wombat Forest is declared a National
Park then many sporting activities would
be excluded including dog walking and
motorised sports.
In National parks you need to fill out
extensive documents (more than 25 pages)
to just have a car club tour drive through it.
In a State Forest however it is permissible
for car clubs to conduct events on existing
roads and tracks. Sensitivity to the forest is
foremost during these events.
In the State forest system access is currently
freely available for the public to visit. If it
were to become a National Park it would lead
to loss of access to many and varied groups
who can currently frequent and enjoy
recreational activities within the forest.
Previously the Lerderderg State Park had
more tracks that were open to 4WDs along
the ridge top tracks such as Hogan’s Track
& West No. 5 Track. Most of these tracks
are closed with signs such as ‘Management
Vehicles only’ implying only a select few
people are now allowed access to these
tracks.
There is a very small percentage of the forest
area taken up by roads and tracks. These are
rarely used during the week, so it begs the
question - Why is it now an environmental

The first step is to find the right agent: do you
research, ask around, pop in to your local agencies
to get a sense of their approach and feel free to ask
questions. The REIV recommends prospective
vendors get appraisals from at least three agents
from competing agencies and consider how they
stack up.
An appraisal will outline an estimated selling
price (usually based on recent sales in the area
and market trends), marketing and advertising
campaign options and commission fees.
Remember the cheapest agent isn’t always the
best.
A skilled and experienced agent will be able to
negotiate a sale with one or more interested buyers
and will have access to a database of potential
buyers who may have missed out on a similar
property in your neighbourhood.
REIV members are well educated, trained and
informed, with access to the most comprehensive
market information including quarterly median

updates. It is a condition of membership for all

Trio of champs
By Helen Tatchell

(continued from Page 1)

Coach of the Under 15s Travis Preston will now step aside,
holding the reins for the last three years.
“I am hanging up my cap as I feel the players get sick of
hearing the same voice over and over; win or lose last
Saturday was my last as coach,” he said.
“Last year we made the grand final but were unsuccessful,
and fortunately only had four players move up to Under 18s
at the start of this season. We kept a lot of the same playing
group and gained some good recruits and I was confident we
would play finals this year.”
Preston said the boys, for the majority of the match, stuck to
the game plan.
“There was a brief period in the third quarter where we
waivered, however that was also due to the pressure being
applied by Springbank.
“We had six separate goal kickers in this grand final match
and that was part of this year playing high percentage
football – not caring who kicked our goals as long as we were
scoring, it didn’t matter who it was,” he said.
And the reality of playing and winning a Premiership?
“You always hope that you’ll make that last game for the
season, but until you are there, then you realise it is a reality,”
Preston concluded.
