Foundation stone 100 years on

Commemorating the laying of the 100-year old foundation stone, Moorabool Mayor Cr Tom Sullivan and Bacchus Marsh RSL President Cherrison Lawton. Photo – Helen Tatchell By Lachlan Ellis A foundation stone, originally laid by Major General Sir Brudenell White on October 27 1921, has been commemorated, 100 years on, with a small ceremony… and cake. In honour of soldiers from the former Shire of Bacchus Marsh who fought and died in World War I, the stone is situated at the Bacchus Marsh RSL, the building itself approximately 104 years old. Around 30 people attended the ceremony commemorating a century since the foundation stone was laid, with Bacchus Marsh RSL President Cherrison Lawton and Moorabool Shire Mayor Cr Tom Sullivan addressing those in attendance. Ms Lawton read out an excerpt from the former Bacchus Marsh Express, the local newspaper of the time, which detailed the events of the day the stone was laid. ‘This was a very important event; we had the Chief of Staff come out from Melbourne to lay this foundation stone.’ “And this is the exciting part we found out about,” Ms Lawton said. ‘Beneath the stone was placed a casket, containing silver and copper coins of the year, copies of the metropolitan papers and Express, also a full list of the names of local soldiers as they appear on the honour board’.

“None of us are game to take that out to find out if it’s there… the guys have done some research, and a list of those coins would probably not pay for the damages we would cause. Hopefully in another hundred years’ time they might find out what’s in there.” Ms Lawton said Mr J. H. Lister, MRA, hoped the hall would not be the last of their obligations to the returned soldiers. “He trusted the people would still recognise they had a duty to perform to the men who had done so much for Australia. “Mr Lister’s hopes had been fulfilled, thanks to the work of the community in supporting veterans and the RSL,” she said. Cr Sullivan honoured the past residents of Bacchus Marsh and thanked the RSL for the opportunity to speak. “It’s a pleasure to be here on such an auspicious occasion. It’s interesting to try and reflect about a hundred years ago – what would the people who lived here have been thinking about?” he said. “They had come out of the Great War, and looked ahead to a bright future. I commend them for their spirit…and the values they had then I would say stand us in good stead for today and into the future – loyalty, trust, and respect.” Joyce Porter, who had two great uncles fight in the war, also addressed the crowd, speaking about the attitudes of the “close-knit” communities in the area, and the strength of both the soldiers and those who remained at home.

Million dollar surplus from sale By Helen Tatchell The community raised funds for 22-years prior to opening the doors to a local hospital in 1966. Now, 55-years later, Ballan District Health & Care was scheduled to transition the facility over to mecwacare on Monday 1 November, after the sale was confirmed to the Moorabool News in late August. Unfortunately, due to recent COVID lockdowns the transition to mecwacare has been extended to 1 December 2021. “This is due to the recent lockdown for the Moorabool Shire and COVID restrictions limiting movement between mecwacare’s head office in Malvern and our site in Ballan, thereby reducing the ability to provide important handover and orientation information,” a BDHC spokesperson told the Moorabool News. It was revealed in the 31 August edition of the Moorabool News the health service was to change hands. “Yes, the health service was sold to mecwacare. Any excess funds will be used for improving health and aged care services for the local community,” the spokesperson said. Those ‘excess funds’ were mentioned at an online Association Members meeting on 14 September where Interim BDHC CEO James McComb declared there was a surplus from the sale to the tune of $1million. The purpose of the meeting Mr McComb said was to talk about the changes to Ballan District Health Care and as most people would have heard, “we have sold the business to mecwacare.” “The financial problems started around June 2018 and more recently COVID, has been a big challenge for the organisation. “So, we’ve sold all the assets and all the business units to mecwacare and we are hoping there will be at least $1million leftover once all the bills and everything are settled up,” he said. And how will that million dollars be spent? “There is one issue on how that money will be used. As being a charity, we cannot distribute that back into the members, it has to be donated to another charity and one option is that it could be donated back to mecwacare, with strings attached. “Hypothetically we could say it is to be used to improve the buildings at Ballan is one example,” Mr McComb said. A public meeting doesn’t seem to be on the cards either with Mr McComb saying it would be up to the members to decide. “Don’t think we’d have a public meeting,” he said. “We still have to have an AGM where we would bring options to the members to vote on.” Another associate member Lin Thomson spoke at the meeting and said she is not against what has been decided. “I think what the public and the community in Ballan feel is, they have great ownership of this place, and I think a lot of people are feeling let down. I guess you have lost a lot of trust in the sense it was promised there would be community consultation,” she said. “I don’t think it should have been promised in the first instance if it was never going to happen. I think people feel a little betrayed by that.

“I think there is some repair work to be done in terms of gaining trust when you are saying things like “maybe we will consult at the public meeting (AGM) on how the money will be spent.” Well, the feeling is can we trust you, if you are going to say that, are you actually going to consult?” she concluded. Current BDHC Board Chair, Lyn Gunnell, said she had no doubt the only focus of the Board was to find a solution that would secure a future of the health service. “I am sure everyone sitting around this table and on screen are aware of the complexities this health organization faced. “Ultimately, yes the members could have been consulted, but ultimately what would have occurred if we would have come to the same conclusion and say we are closing, we have to close the facility in its entirety, or the Board, which has the authority to do this, had to make the tough decision,” she said. Ms Gunnell said one of the main priorities it (mecwacare) had was “the same moral standing as we did, that it would look after our staff, look after our residents and look after our community, and they ticked those boxes.” The Moorabool News also asked questions when the three members on the Board would step down; when does it take effect and what is their future role, if any? A spokesperson for the organisation replied that “a smooth transition to mecwacare is the current focus for our Board and senior leadership – for the benefit of our staff, residents and clients – and we are therefore unable to meet your deadline.” The AGM will be held in late-November, with the date to be confirmed following finalisation of the end-of-year accounts. No date was put forward.

Shave to save … lives By Lachlan Ellis A Bacchus Marsh man has taken a unique approach to participating in Movember, shaving his beard off early so he can start anew for the month ahead. This is the fifth year that Matt Clark has raised funds for Movember, and this time around he has grown a beard in the lead-up. He admits he’s “not great at growing facial hair” and has spent “most of the last 12 months growing what takes some men a month to grow…but it’s for a great cause”. “The focus on men’s health, particularly mental health and suicide prevention, is really important. I’ve had friends and family with mental health issues, and thought Movember was a great cause to get behind,” Mr Clark told the Moorabool News. “Not only that, prostate and testicular cancer are important and sort of exclusive to Movember, as a way of raising funds for those specific men’s cancers.” Mr Clark achieved his goal of raising $10,000 in October, with his tally at over $14,000 at the time of writing. A passionate Demons fan, he even had his beard coloured red and blue, in return for a $1,000 donation from a friend. But the fundraising isn’t over yet – there’s a whole month to go. “Really, if I can get anywhere near the $25,000 I raised last year, I think that’d be an enormous effort. If we could push $25,000 to $30,000 it’d be well and good…maybe this support from the Moorabool News story might help me raise even more funds,” he said. “The support from people has been enormous. I’ve had a lot of the same donors over the past five years, they’ve chipped in heaps of money in that time. I think of it as a group effort, when I email them updates, I talk about it as a team, and how ‘our group’ is going, rather than just me.” Throughout Movember 2021 he plans to grow “as much as I can”, which will most likely be a moustache. Since his first fundraiser in 2016, Matt Clark has raised over $70,000 for the cause.

Despite the difficulties many people faced throughout 2020, Mr Clark and his supporters raised $25,320. Want to help Matt reach his target of $20,000 in 2021? Just visit au.movember.com and search for ‘Matthew Clark’. He’s the one with the Movember face mask on.

ABOUT MOVEMBER Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health on a global scale, focusing on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer. The charity raises funds to deliver innovative, breakthrough research and support programmes that enable men to live happier, healthier and longer lives. Committed to disrupting the status quo, millions have joined the movement, helping fund over 1,250 projects around the world. In addition to tackling key health issues faced by men, Movember is working to encourage men to stay healthy in all areas of their life, with a focus on men staying socially connected and becoming more open to discussing their health and significant moments in their lives. The charity's vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men's health.

GOING – Matt Clark before the shave.

GOING – James gets the clippers out on Matt.

GONE – freshly shaven and ready for Movember 2021.

Be prepared for new adventure One promise was kept back in 2018, a promise from the Andrews Labor government to commit $500,000 towards building a new hall for the Ballan Scout Group if re-elected. That funding has just been matched by the Federal Liberal Government investing over half a million dollars for the new centre that will double as a home for other community groups. A local Ballarat MP welcomed the recent announcement with the 1st Ballan Scouts set to receive $550,000 for the $1.1 million Ballan Scout and Community Centre (BSACC). The MP said she is delighted to see the Ballan Scouts receive this support. "The last two years have been incredibly difficult for community groups like the scouts, but everyone involved has come up with innovative ways to teach these kids new skills and keep them engaged with the broader community.” The money is part of Round 5 of the Federal Governments Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF), which also saw $25,000 given to Moorabool Shire Council to develop a Visitor Economy Strategy. Victorian Senator Sarah Henderson congratulated all recipients on the vision for the Ballan Scout and Community Centre. “Not only will this $1.1 million redevelopment be an important home for the local scouting movement, but it will also be a great community asset for Ballan” Ms Henderson said. Group Leader and District Commissioner for the 1st Ballan Scouts Colleen Thompson, was contacted for comment, however, did not return the Moorabool News’ calls. The local movement posted a message on their social media that they were, “jumping for joy” at the funding announcement. “This facility will benefit the entire community. It will allow the space for 1st Ballan Scout Group to expand its programs to offer a range of exciting activities for our youth,” they posted. “As Scouts predominantly meet in the evenings, it means the facility will be available for community use at all other times, and we welcome the opportunity for local community groups without a permanent home to make use of this new In 2018, then Minister for Youth Affairs Jenny Mikakos, announced the proposed $500,000 funding with members of 1st Ballan Scout group.

Korweingy baller wins bronze By Lachlan Ellis One of Moorabool’s own has made her senior debut in the green and gold, claiming a bronze medal for her efforts. Korweingboora resident Abigail Wehrung said she was initially named a reserve player in Australia’s 2021 Women’s Asia Cup basketball team, but was surprised and honoured to be named in the Opals starting line-up. “I got the call up, and I was really grateful for that. We finished with bronze, it was my first Opals experience, I absolutely loved it,” she told the Moorabool News. “In Korweingy we’ve got a bit of a hobby farm, I love my horses…so when I’m in Adelaide [playing/training with the Adelaide Lightning in the WNBL], my brother is at home looking after the place.” Travelling to Jordan for the Women’s Asia Cup, Ms Wehrung and the Opals begun their campaign with a 76-65 win over Chinese Taipei, then a 120–56 thrashing of the Philippines. Unfortunately, they went down to China 64–82, but made the playoffs, knocking New Zealand out with a 72– 61 win, then going down to eventual gold medallists Japan in a nail-biter, that finished 67–65 Japan’s way. An emphatic 88–58 victory against South Korea put Ms Wehrung and the Aussies on the podium with bronze, as Japan defeated China 78–73 in the gold medal match. Ms Wehrung said she was thankful for the chance to play for her country – her ultimate goal – and like many athletes,

Funding to connect communities

Korweingboora resident Abigail Wehrung (bottom right) playing for the Opals. was addicted to bettering herself. “I love the aspect of challenging yourself every single day, and seeing yourself get better…it’s kind of an addiction, to be honest,” she laughed. “Playing for the Opals is what I’ve always been striving for. It was pretty surreal; it’s always been the goal. I kind of give everything to basketball.

I love the sport, I love the friends you make, the connections…being on a journey with teammates every season is special.” Her next goal is to make the Opals squad for the 2022 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, which will be held in Sydney from 22 September – 1 October.

Applications are now open for a new round of community sponsorship funding that will provide support for events within the Moorabool Shire.

The biannual sponsorship program, which awarded $33,000 to 16 community groups in July, helps people connect and celebrate what makes the region great. Greater Western Water’s Acting General Manager Strategy and Partnerships, Leeanne Darmanin, said the funding is available for a range of activities that support people to connect with their community. “Bringing people together safely is more important than ever and we recognise the vital role that local groups and volunteers play in fostering community spirit. We’re proud to help community groups bring their events to life, as we know the positive impact they can have in our suburbs and towns.” All events must operate within the COVIDSafe settings and guidelines that apply at the time of their event.

Shed green light

Pigs running amok By Lachlan Ellis

By Lachlan Ellis

Greendale residents have reported serious damage caused by wild feral pigs in the past few months, despite many never having seen them in the area before. Local Doug Peerman said the pigs had caused damage “for miles”, and he had no idea why they had suddenly emerged in the area. “The damage goes for acres and acres. If you go out in the hills behind my place, it’s everywhere, all the way down probably into the river, that’s where they think they’re coming from,” Mr Peerman told the Moorabool News. “There are rumours someone’s letting them loose, I find that hard to believe, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. People are saying there’s never been pigs here before, and all of a sudden, they’re here in the last 12 to 18 months,” he said. Mr Peerman said there is in influx “somehow”. “Everybody I know around here has never seen them before, and when I say it’s widespread, it goes for miles and miles, and that’s just what we can see.” Agriculture Victoria’s Biosecurity Manager for Established Invasive Animals, Jason Wishart, said that reports of feral pigs were important to AgVic’s work. “Agriculture Victoria monitors reports of feral pigs across Victoria and this knowledge contributes to an understanding of trends and distribution of feral pig populations,” he said. “To date, Agriculture Victoria has not received increased reports of feral pigs from the Greendale area.” While some local hunters have helped reduce the numbers over the past month or two, Mr Peerman said there were still pigs around. “They got a 100 kg male close to my place, and an 80 kg female about 150 metres away, all within two nights. They’re out there,” he said. “But I wonder, are they going to come back next year?” Greendale is situated south of both the Lerderderg State Park and Wombat State Forest.

Despite some technical difficulties, a Blackwood woman has successfully applied to build a shed and dwelling on her property, with conditions. The applicant, Julie Lee, appeared on Council’s livestreamed Development Assessment Committee (DAC) on 20 October, but nothing she said came through on the livestream. Ms Lee’s application was moved to the end of the meeting to allow time to fix the issue, however, the this was unable to be solved and Ms Lee was unable to address Council. A written statement from Dan Sullivan was also submitted to Council, in opposition to Ms Lee’s plans. “In the delegates report, the planning officer has completely ignored my written objections which clearly outline the concerns of the loss, and fracturing, of valuable and viable agriculture land and, claims in the report that the objector’s concerns cannot be resolved,” Mr Sullivan wrote. “The DAC committee, before deciding on this permit application need to explain why they are working outside of the Shires planning scheme and the Shires core objective of protecting valuable and rare agriculture and allowing an inappropriate, unplanned, rural residential lifestyle development without any agricultural use. “There is currently no example off this type of inappropriate rural residential lifestyle development in ‘Greenhills’,” the objectors statement read. Mr Sullivan also claimed the land in question had only ever contained one dwelling on the 40-hectare parcel of land, and “has been farmed continuously as one farming property for over 100 years”. Despite not being able to speak in support of her application, Council planners’ recommendation to allow the development was approved unanimously by Councillors. However, under the recommendation, Ms Lee must follow a range of conditions, including not altering the plans “without the written consent of the Responsible Authority”, installing a wastewater treatment system, and abiding by a Bushfire Management Plan.

Federal Plan to Combat Pigs Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud announced a 10-year plan to manage the feral pig problem last week on Wednesday 27 October, Mr Littleproud said the ‘National Feral Pig Action Plan’ was coordinated between governments and stakeholders affected by the feral pig issue. “This is the first national strategy that has been developed to address the significant impact of feral pigs on our farms, environment, industries and communities,” he said. “Feral pigs cost the Australian agricultural sector around $106.5 million per year, and $47.7 million per year is spent on feral pig control by land managers. “The plan brings industry, governments, stakeholders and the wider community together to better manage feral pigs and protect our country.” Feral pigs can also pose a threat to livestock not only by preying on them, but also by carrying diseases. They also destroy crops and pastures and spread weeds and disease. For more information about the National Feral Pig Action Plan, visit www.feralpigs.com.au.

Extended deadline to comply There has been limited opportunity for building inspectors to visit homes during the pandemic and as such, there is now an extended deadline for owners to lodge certificates of pool and spa barrier compliance with their local council. Minister for Planning Richard Wynne extended the first certificate lodgement deadline from 1 November 2021 to 1 June 2022, with subsequent lodgement deadlines also moved back to June 2023 and June 2024 respectively. Victorians now have more time to get their pool and spa safety barriers inspected and certified as compliant. “While it remains vital for owners to take necessary steps to ensure the safety of their pools and spas, it makes

sense to extend the certification deadline given current circumstances,” Mr Wynne said. “This extension acknowledges the extra pressure that coronavirus is placing on families, as well as the challenge of finding building practitioners to inspect and certify safety barriers and fix any identified non-compliance.” In December 2019 the Government amended the Building Regulations to introduce new requirements to improve the safety of private swimming pools and spas. The regulations include requirements for owners to register their swimming pools and spas with their local council. Any owners who have not yet registered their pool or spa

are encouraged to make an application to council as soon as possible. Failure to register may attract a council infringement notice of up to $363. Owners must also have a registered building surveyor or inspector certify the continuing compliance of their safety barrier every four years. Drowning is the most common cause of preventable death for young children and in Victoria most fatal drownings of young children occur in backyard swimming pools.

Dear Editor, It puzzles me how proposed changes to the roundabout intersection (M/News 5 Oct) in central Bacchus Marsh (at Gisborne Road/Main Street) would help anything. They might in fact destroy a lot and make traffic flow worse. Traffic flows through the roundabout steadily. If there were traffic lights at that spot, there would be regular blockages which would stop cars and hold them right back to the previous intersection and roundabout outside KFC and McDonalds, causing havoc there and block the roads leading into that roundabout. Near the intersection proposed for remodelling, you can see the ‘invisible’ environmental benefit of mature green trees: the six big bottle trees and three lovely green trees near them on the same side of the road. Trees cool the air and provide shade and habitat for wildlife. Opposite that site, the airport bus drop off point is green, and shaded, with mature trees overhanging. The footpaths on each corner of the intersection being targeted, are already quite narrow. To take away more space to help cars doing a left turn, doesn’t make sense. Cars can turn easily as it is. And the reduction in parking spaces would have a negative impact on all the shops near those corners. Even parking behind those premises is often filled up as it is. Perhaps traffic (especially trucks) going through Bacchus Marsh should be asked to take alternative routes so they bypass the centre of town, which would reduce the impact of traffic significantly. Mara Hayler Darley

Dear Editor, New legislation before the Victorian Parliament is seeking to permanently enshrine government over-reach into the lives and livelihoods of regional Victorians. High vaccination rates and the winding back of restrictions on our society have sent a ripple of hope through our communities that our lives are getting back on track. Vibrancy is returning to our pubs, cafes and wineries, kids are back in the classroom, community sport is back on the agenda and we’re all eagerly anticipating a ‘normal’ Christmas with the people we love most. But at a time when we need certainty, the Andrews Labor Government is seeking the power to permanently hold our lives to ransom. Labor’s proposed pandemic management laws hand the Premier extraordinary powers, including the power to unilaterally make a “pandemic declaration” without warning and “whether or not … the pandemic disease is present in Victoria”. A ‘pandemic declaration’ could last indefinitely in blocks of three months, with no accountability to Parliament or the Victorian people. The Nationals have proposed common sense changes to these laws to make sure the Government of the day is accountable. We do not support handing over everything – our rights, our liberties, our livelihoods – to one person. That is not how democracy works.

Dear Editor, I write to express my disappointment in the decision to publish two baseless anti-vaccination comments (M/New 12 Oct). I will not repeat them here for fear of allowing them further oxygen. By giving these comments' authors a platform, the newspaper has done the Moorabool community a disservice by its complicity in the spread of dangerous misinformation during a time of crisis. I notice that on its website, The Moorabool News claims it "seeks to enrich, empower and educate local residents on all matters pertaining to the Moorabool area". Unfortunately, the newspaper has failed to live up to these goals on this occasion. Instead, it has contributed to the muddying of the informational waters with respect to vaccine safety, thereby making it more difficult for locals to make informed decisions about whether to get vaccinated. I also note that these comments appeared alongside a letter, from Peter Walsh MP, which carried a pro-vaccination sentiment. Some may defend the The Moorabool News by asserting that the choice to publish such anti-vaccination comments opposite Mr Walsh's letter was made with the intention of representing two sides of an argument. However, this would be merely grounded in a fallacious appeal to false balance. We are entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts. Local news is important to regional communities. One of the advantages newspapers have over new media is that rigorous editorial standards can be applied to ensure that readers are provided with accurate information. I hope The Moorabool News exercises its ability to do so more effectively in the future. Rhyn Carey Ballan

Under our Private Members Bill, extensions to emergency or pandemic declarations would require a 3/5ths vote of the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. Victorians cannot suffer a repeat of the last 18 months. We need new protections that ensure transparency and accountability are at the centre of current and future pandemic responses. If you agree, make your voice heard by signing our petition at www.noplandan.com.au/ lockdown-legislation Peter Walsh Leader of The Nationals

Farmers – take stock before Success in ‘working fire season A CRISIS OUT THERE Working for Victoria, and Moorabool

The State Government’s Working for Victoria initiative has proven a great success at Moorabool Shire Council, as appointments for the remaining few of the 51 positions are close to finalised. The $2.5 million State Government grant for local councils to employ professionals looking for work during the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in extra skills and personnel at Council to deliver even better service to the community. Council CEO Derek Madden said the initiative has been fantastic for this Council. “Among the 51 funded positions, we have hired people across all services in Council – parks and gardens, risk, administration, economic development, communications, information technology, waste – the list goes on,” he said. Mr Madden said many of these people held professional jobs prior to commencing at Moorabool – some also lost their roles as a result of business closures due to the pandemic.

“The collective skills, expertise and experience these extra people have brought to the organisation has seen us able to advance projects and provide a much greater level of service to our community,” he said. Working for Victoria participant Spencer Rogers said working for Council in a communications role presented an opportunity to bring his writing and marketing experience into local government. “It’s a classic win-win. I am learning so much working with stakeholders in Council and I feel I am bringing a lot of valuable skills and transferable insights to the table also,” he said. Some of the Working for Victoria participants at Moorabool live in or near the Shire but many are from Melbourne and working from home, in line with State Government COVID guidelines.

The independent report, authored by management consultancy Nous Group, found that 71 per cent of participants learned new skills, 88 per cent felt their work was helping the community, and 89 per cent would consider working for a rural council again. More than half of participants (57 per cent) also stated that COVID had contributed to their application for a Working for Victoria job, including pandemic-related issues such as redundancy and insufficient hours.

If your shed burnt down, do you think you’d be able to remember everything that was stored inside it? Taking stock and checking your insurance policies may seem like a chore, but with the fire season on the horizon, now is the time. Michael Myers from Adroit Insurance and Risk said while a good insurance policy was vital, knowing exactly what your assets are is crucial too. “Often when people experience theft, they know something is missing but they don’t know what it is. It’s the same with tools and equipment if your shed has burnt down. You won’t even know something is missing until you go to use it again,” Mr Myers said. “An asset inventory doesn’t have to be longwinded or difficult. It can be as simple as taking pictures or a video of your shed or house, so you have a clear record of your assets.” To help farmers prepare for the fire season, Agriculture Victoria is offering a free ‘Insuring Farm Assets’ webinar tonight, on Tuesday 19 October, from 7.30 – 8.30 pm. The webinar will go through the importance of asset inventories, getting farm fence insurance right, and insuring cattle and fodder reserves. The concept of being “self-insured” will also be explained, and the implications discussed. Mr Myers, who will be presenting at the webinar, said spring was the perfect time to review insurance policies. “Often people won’t take the time to review their insurance. They will pay it year after year, and they’ll compare the price, but they need to review the details to make sure they have adequate insurance,” he said. “Farmers need to look at things like hay value, stock value and stock numbers to make sure they are accurate. They should make sure they are not necessarily getting the cheapest insurance, but getting the cover that is going to do what they expect it to do when it comes time to put in a claim.” To register for the Insuring Farm Assets webinar, visit www.agriculture.vic.gov.au, search ‘Insuring Farm Assets’, and click the first link.

Cold callers get the cold shoulder

After a three-week consultation period in July and August, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has enacted a 11.4 per cent increase in fees for accessing the Do Not Call Register (DNCR). The DNCR is a free service which allows users to register their home, mobile or fax number to reduce unsolicited telemarketing calls. Telemarketers pay ACMA a subscription fee to check if certain numbers are registered, which is known in the industry as ‘washing’. Up to 500 numbers a year can be checked for free under ‘Subscription Type A’, however, beyond that, a fee must be paid – starting at $126 a year to check up to 20,000 numbers, (Type B) and $142,271 for 100 million numbers (Type H). Two submissions were received during the consultation process, one of which was made available to the public. The public submission was sent by the Association for Datadriven Marketing & Advertising (ADMA), which represents marketing and advertising companies. “Given that the ACMA regularly compares subscription fee revenue with the direct costs of operating the DNCR, a

proposal to increase fees is reasonable as that allows ACMA to meet its requirements to fully fund the direct costs associated with running the DNCR,” ADMA wrote in its submission. “Having said that, ADMA does believe that the increase amount of 11 per cent on subscription fees alone is high and not in line with either inflation or the industry’s expectation of subscription price increases. ADMA also believes that this move will unfairly fall burden on a small number of players in the telemarketing and fax marketing industry. “If the proposal to increase fees by 11 per cent is to go ahead on 1 October 2021, current subscribers will be hit with a sudden large increase in fees…we believe that what has failed to be mentioned appropriately is the benefit to businesses that have to bear the increase in access fees.” Despite ADMA’s concerns over the amount fees were planned to increase by, the 11.4 per cent increase has gone into effect in full, as of 1 October 2021. The last time ACMA raised Do Not Call Register subscription fees was in 2017, when they increased 42 per cent.

Conditions ripe for fruit fly

Local groups benefit from funding

A local table tennis club is one of five community groups to share in community funding totally $31,000. The Mt Wallace Table Tennis Club received funding to purchase four new table tennis tables from the 2021 Pacific Hydro Yaloak South Community fund. The club will now have six new tables and boasts 80-members. They also received two new tables in the 2020 round of funding. Scott Young is the Club President and said he was grateful for the new equipment. “Our competition is much loved by the local community and brings people together for fun and fitness. We are very grateful to have six new tables which will allow us to expand the competition,” he said. Bernadette Holland, Senior Project Leader, Community Investment and Communications at Pacific Hydro, said the company is proud of how far its Community Investment Program has come. “Since its inception, Pacific Hydro has invested more than $4.8 million to support almost 1000 projects in host communities across regional Australia,” she said. “This year alone we have funded 73 community initiatives across six funds, with two more yet to be finalised. Pacific Hydro is proud to give back to the communityidentified projects and organisations that serve and benefit the people who neighbour our renewable energy projects.”

MN Moorabool News

Ms Holland said many organisations have shared that without Pacific Hydro's help; their projects would not move forward or serve nearly as many people. Pacific Hydro’s Community Investment Program aims to empower local residents to identify the initiatives and projects Pacific Hydro should support. Members of the local community who serve on the Community Partnerships Group review and assess applications and decide which projects will receive funding each year. Other local projects to receive funding include: Rowsley Landcare Group To purchase a woodchipper Mt Wallace Hall & Reserve To paint the BBQ area and toilets Ballan & District Community House For health and safety equipment for their local bushwalking group Mount Wallace Model Aircraft Association An irrigation system for the Mt Wallace State Flying Field Ballark & District Gun Club For a voice activated release system for clay target throwers

Wet and warm conditions across the state have created favourable conditions for Queensland fruit fly to breed, with home gardeners encouraged to act now to protect their homegrown fruits and vegetables. Agriculture Victoria Statewide Fruit Fly Coordinator Cathy Mansfield said despite predicted La Niña weather patterns which are ideal for fruit fly, gardeners still have time to protect their homegrown produce. “Last summer during the La Niña, many home gardeners were surprised to find that Queensland fruit fly had damaged their fruit and veggies. This year we know the same climatic conditions are coming so everyone has the chance to get a step ahead,” she said. The Bureau of Meteorology has advised there is a 70 per cent chance of a La Niña forming in the coming months, which is roughly three times the normal likelihood of an event forming in any year. “Queensland fruit fly is most active from September to May, so as the weather heats up, home gardeners, landholders and those with a few trees or a veggie patch should be on the lookout for and know how to manage it.” Ms Mansfield said netting is by far the most effective way to protect your trees which would have just finished blossoming and being pollinated. “So now is the time to get your netting up.” Queensland fruit fly attacks a wide range of fruit and vegetables including tomatoes, stonefruit, citrus, cherries, berries and grapes. When fruit flies make contact with fruit to lay eggs, a “sting mark”, often the size of the top of a pin, is left which can be easily missed unless checked carefully. Once stung, fruit will start to rot internally. “Fruit fly maggots are often found in the centre of the fruit, are 5 to 10mm long and creamy-white in colour.” Protecting home gardens is important not just for the landholder’s own homegrown produce, but also to limit fruit fly population growth and potential spread to neighbours, nearby orchards or farms. For the greatest chance of successful control, landowners should speak to their neighbours and have a consistent approach to fruit fly management. “Victorians have spent a lot of time at home this year with many people reigniting their passion for gardening. It’s important they

know the signs of Queensland fruit fly and avoid the disappointment of cutting into their proudly homegrown produce and finding fruit fly maggots.” For more information including lists of common fruit, how to control fruit fly in your garden and netting tips visit agriculture.vic. gov.au/qff Landowners can use the following techniques to protect produce in their gardens: • follow good garden hygiene such as picking fruit and vegetables as they ripen • dispose of unwanted fruit and scraps carefully • regularly monitor for fruit fly presence in home gardens • protect trees, plants and produce through netting, gazebos and bags • use bait, traps and insecticide control.

Moderation is the keyword this week. Take a lesson in “balance” from an Libra friend. Your taste is impeccable and you can make excellent choices in the friendship department.

CANCER—June 22-July 22 A friend may rely on you for a modest but important ration of moral support. Some experimentation may lead to the solution of a career puzzle. Your romantic intuition peaks. LEO—July 23-August 22

Flexibility is important if a new relationship is to expand. A relative may be surprisingly mysterous and a colleague may be outspoken but not necessarily a threat. A financial favour is returned. VIRGO—August 23-September 22

Family reunions and/or reconcilliations are highlighted. Sports are in the picture - you may enjoy the role of competitor. New responsibilities may come your way. LIBRA—September 23-October 22 A younger relative takes you into his/her confidence and learns from your example. This is a great week for learning skills that help you adapt with rapidly changing techniques.

SUDOKU

SCORPIO—October 23-November 21 NUMBER GAME At the workplace you understand the meaning of “method in one’s madness”. Family responsibilities are shared. A BELOW friend is ANSWER surprisingly generous but there may be some strings attached. SAGITTARIUS—November 22-December 22

You are surprisingly unrealistic, living in a dreamworld where practical matters are involved. Your financial situation may need a thorough review. This a good time to talk to financial experts and not to rely on amateurs. CAPRICORN—December 23-January 20

New forms of relaxation are the focus of the week. Romance and cultural activities blend well. New hobbies can be surprisingly costly. Some important information may arrive by the weekend. AQUARIUS—January 21-February 19 Local travel, foreign correspondence and exotic entertainment, all may figure in this week’s agenda. Home maintainance is a high priority - health is an even higher one.

PISCES—February 20-March 20 You are in a competitive mood and excel especially in mental challenges. Visits to new places are highlighted. Messages from abroad may arrive after the weekend. BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK Being fairminded and optimistic, you are noted for diplomacy. You sometimes tend to be mysterious and you can deliberate much too long before making a decision. Partnerships are highlighted in the coming months. Unusual travel may also be on the agenda.

Family reunions and/or reconcilliations are highlighted. Sports are in the picture - you may enjoy the role of competitor. New responsibilities may come your way.

LIBRA—September 23-October 22 A younger relative takes you into his/her confidence and learns from your example. This is a great week for learning skills that help you adapt with rapidly changing techniques. SCORPIO—October 23-November 21

At the workplace you understand the meaning of “method in one’s madness”. Family responsibilities are shared. A friend is surprisingly generous but there may be some strings attached. SAGITTARIUS—November 22-December 22

Sport/Classifieds Chubb charges into Redwood history

Email - news@themooraboolnews.com.au

By Tim O’Connor No matter what he does in later life, the bulky but brilliant Plymouth Chubb will long be remembered as one of Victoria’s most dominant two-year-old trotters after another big-race success on Sunday. The juvenile squaregaiter’s victory in the Group 1 Aldebaran Park Redwood Classic was a first in the race for Great Western father and daughter Peter and Kerryn Manning, who teamed up as trainer and driver to win the iconic Maryborough feature. After a clean getaway from the standing start, the powerful Majestic Son gelding sat parked up outside early leader Courage Stride (Chris Lang) for much of the trip and then pulled away from him in the home straight to win in convincing fashion. As he cruised down to the line, the sport’s winningest reinswoman gave a little raise of the whip to celebrate a special achievement alongside her father, who is amazingly still winning Group 1 races at 76 years of age. “He’s certainly back in the Group 1 form - hopefully he can hold it now for a little while with this horse. But he’s done a great job with this horse,” Kerryn told TrotsVision. As Plymouth Chubb surged clear to win the ninth race of his 10-start career, Courage Stride was just run down for second by Ricki Alchin-trained NSW raider Tough Love, who poked home along the inside to grab the early leader in the shadows of the post. “I actually had a good passage away. They walked up and went and the ones in front of me all trotted away so that was a big plus. He just made his way through the field,” Kerryn said. “On the first turn, he went a little bit racy and I thought I was going to lose him. That’s why I went actually, because if I let his head go, he actually trotted good. “I followed Greg (Sugars, driving High On Love) and once we got to the death, I was really happy. We were out of trouble and all he had to do was trot the rest of the way.” Plymouth Chubb races for owner-breeders Gary Benson and Steven Hegyi, who pared their mare Pocket Fantasy with Majestic Son to produce the horse. The dam had already been lucrative, producing the talented My Skypocket and Edge Hill among others, as well as winning five starts herself. They included Kerryn’s 2132nd career win in 2005, which saw her pass German reinswoman Rita Drees and become the most successful female driver in history.

The Moorabool News – 2 November, 2021 Page 21

“They’ve been sending Dad horses for a long time now,” Kerryn said. “You went back through the family and there’s a lot of good horses there that they’ve had a lot of fun with. They’re great people and I’m just pleased they keep sending them to Dad and he’s done such a good job for them. “I think Pocket Fantasy was my 3000th winner back a way, so the family has been good to me.” Plymouth Chubb’s nine wins have netted connections more than $100,000 in prizemoney.
