The man behind

the horse
By Meg Kennedy

Local race caller and author Adam Crettenden has again delved
into Australia’s rich horse racing history.
His new book, Manikato: ‘The Man’, follows the namesake of the
Manikato Stakes.
The champion racehorse raced from the late 1970s to early ‘80s,
and still holds the record for five consecutive wins in a major
Australian sprint.
After writing a biography on the career of well-known racehorse
Subzero, Mr Crettenden had no intention of writing another book.
But a framed photo in his Ballan home of the horse, signed by
jockey Gary Willetts, sparked Mr Crettenden into researching
Manikato’s life.
“I quietly started to do a bit of research, mainly on the racing
background, and once I satisfied myself…that he had a great
record, then I started looking into the more personal side of it; the
trainers, the people that were around and the jockeys that rode
him,” explained Mr Crettenden.
“Because if I wanted to read a racing book, I didn’t want a book to
be that went ‘Start 1, he went really fast, and he won again’. Even
for a racing purist it would get monotonous and boring, so you
need these little stories to come together in-between.”
He describes the ‘golden moment’ of wanting to share the story
was when discovering the quirks between well-known trainers
Bob and Bon Hoysted, two brothers with two very different
approaches to training.
“They didn’t really get along – they trained horses very differently.
Bon had this systematic approach, very regimented…Bob was very
different, had a backyard stable with these handpicked horses,
they all had their individual routine and was very hands-on,” said
Mr Crettenden.
“But Bob was always superstitious and paranoid as well, so there
were all these wonderful things that made writing the book for me
so much easier, because I can tell these funny stories about how
weird Bob was, and it helped break up the segments of races.”
ent: Cross Roads Trading
One amusing anecdote Mr Crettenden discovered was when Bob
te: 20/12/17 was returning to Melbourne from a Sydney race meet and got a flat
tyre, with Manikato and another racehorse in the back.

“At the time they were the two best horses in Australia, and they
are stranded on the side of the road between Benalla and Euroa
in the middle of the night with trucks whizzing by,” said Mr
Crettenden.

“Bob – no handyman – had his foreman with him, he was

handing these two horses and Bob said ‘Steve, whatever you
do, don’t let them go!’,” he said.
Just over 12-months ago Mr Crettenden shared his
Melbourne Cup predictions with the Moorabool News; this
year, he again focused on the roster of international horses.
“It’s been the year of the Japanese so far in the spring … but
the Aussies have two good chances this year,” he said.
“This year there’s two Australian horses that both have
good chances – Vow and Declare and Surprise Baby,” he said,
Beremboke-based Australian Thoroughbred Bloodstock
is part owner of Irish import Southern France, also set to
compete in the Cup.
Mr Crettenden explained the Cup has become “quite a
random race” in modern times, where long ago punters were
able to follow a horse’s career to the ‘race that stops a nation’.
“In the old colonial days, people would pick out a horse
from when they ran in the Victoria Derby 12-months ago and
they follow them all through the next year,” he said.

Rumours and gossip can be like the
workplace boss – will always see you
arrive late but will never see you arrive
early, in other words, see the bad not
the good.
After the Bacchus Marsh Football
Netball Club held their recent Annual
General Meeting, rumour mill was in
overdrive, after the financials presented
a close to $90,000 loss.
Two donors put forward lump sum
amounts of $20,000 and $10,000 to
reduce the debt to $57,000 prior to the
AGM the Moorabool News was told,
and one sponsor told the Moorabool
News, “we will continue to do so
because they (outgoing executives)
were upfront honest and transparent
on the night.”
“They tabled all their reports, including
financial reports before questions were
answered from the floor.”
Over 80-people attended the meeting,
including 20-senior footballers.
Questions were asked and answers
followed.
Newly elected President Mark Farrell
spoke to the Moorabool News and said
when financials were presented the
club made a loss of $57,000, “of which
the vast majority of that was because,
the committee at the time, put on a
General Manager, the costs of that was
over three-quarters of that loss.”
Mr Farrell said although the result at
the meeting was disappointing it was
very clear where the club had gone
wrong financially and that had been
rectified immediately “with Adam
standing down as the General Manager
three-weeks ago.”
“So, the burden of that is not there. The
club is committed to use volunteers like
every other club, and a bit of financial
relief when that was announced. Other
things that did not go so well (for the
club) either was the bar was down a bit
because we didn’t play finals where the
three-years prior we had gone deep into
the finals; the games against Ballarat
clubs were pretty poorly attended by
visitors; the club also had a fundraising
effort that didn’t yield what they hoped
it would. At the moment all financial
options are on the table of what we are
doing this year.
“Just the relief of not having a General
Manager position will release most of
that burden,” he said.
“The majority of all this is if they didn’t
have a General Manager there wouldn’t
have been the sting in it that there was.”
Mr Farrell said he has spoken to
sponsors.
“.. and our major sponsor GB Forestry
is on board.”
He also confirmed the club was not
bankrupt.
“On the night you could see where
the money was lost; it is disappointing
to lose money but is worse when you
can’t see where it was lost, but it was
standing there in front of your face.
“The money has all been accounted
for; we just didn’t make a profit,” he
said.
Mr Farrell said the club is united and
behind the new direction.
“We have a capacity committee,
and I feel much more at ease now the
committee has been established and we
can move forward.”
And the projected future direction for
the club?
“We are just ironing out the junior
(committee) positions now and then we
are ready to go.”
Outgoing President Tony Barber was
asked for comment and returned his
response via email.
“I believe the club should speak with
one voice and hence I deferred to Mark
(Farrell) to ensure consistency,” he told
the Moorabool News.
Mark Farrell was elected President
alongside Pat Mullen, Senior
Vice-President.

Moorabool weighs in
Alarming statistics have pointed to Moorabool as one of the
most overweight local government areas in Victoria.
A new study by Victoria University found Moorabool
recorded the second most overweight or obese adult
percentage (73 per cent) in Victoria, and the sixth highest for
adult obesity (35.1 percent).
The study concluded that regional Victorians were more
likely to be overweight or obese than those living in inner
and outer metropolitan areas.
“Victoria’s wealthy city suburbs often have spaces dedicated
to parks, gardens, recreational facilities, and are well-
serviced by public transport and footpaths,” said Victoria
University Professor Rosemary Calder.
“Low socio-economic communities are often new suburbs
and regional areas that are at substantial distances from
metropolitan centres and other communities, and don’t
often have the physical infrastructure that supports healthy
lifestyles,” she said.
A focus on healthy eating and active living was prominent
feature of Moorabool Shire Council’s most recent Health and
Wellbeing Plan (2017-2021).
Key outcomes for this area included an increased proportion
of adults; adolescents and children who consume sufficient
fruit and vegetables; a decreased proportion of adults,
adolescents and children who consume sugar-sweetened
beverages daily; and an increased proportion of adults,
adolescents and children who are sufficiently physically
active.
Moorabool Shire Community Recreation and Development
Coordinator Tania Barry said in a statement that “whilst the
issue of obesity and inactivity are complex and outcomes are
longer term, we are seeing some positive shifts in behaviour
around healthy choices, particularly in regard to catering
and water initiatives.”
“Currently we are involved with the Central Highlands
Primary Care Partnership in the Central Highlands Region
with other councils…activities include the development of
healthy catering policies for organisations; water nudging,
which puts water as the drink of choice in venues and
vending machines to reduce sugary drink consumption;
and a focus on walking and increasing physical activity for
residents,” she said.
Ms Barry also noted resources available to young people
by “encouraging more opportunities for casual physical
activity.”
“[The] youth hoops sessions at the Leisure Centre recently,
which had 51 participants, is a great way for Council to build
opportunities for physical activity for young people who
may not be engaged with local sporting clubs or groups,” she
said.

When asked by the Moorabool News if the
multi-use courts were netball and basketball
or if indoor and outdoor, he could not
confirm.
“Well council in the very new future, will
appoint a consultant to draw up concept
plans,” he said.
And the cost to establish an Aquatic Centre?
“This is the reason we are appointing a
consultant however I would estimate $30-
$40 million.”
When questioned on the location of a
proposed Aquatic Centre and the cost to the
ratepayer, Cr Keogh said, “the first thing is a
conceptual plan.”
“There will be many discussions with State
government with help for funding, and we
are still sourcing funding.
“Not sure how much I can say in regard to
the location, as I said we are in the process
of obtaining a conceptual plan; there is one
place we are looking at very closely.”
Cr Keogh told the Moorabool News “it
might pay to speak to the Mayor.”
“I have just said a very broad picture and it
is up to the Mayor to speak on behalf of the
Liberal or Labor.”
Cr Tatchell said pools are a hard sell in any
safe seat, and impossible to fund in rural
councils without the economies of scale to
pay for it.
“The Aquatic Centre has never been off
the advocacy agenda and there are a few
ex-councillors that make outlandish claims
on the Shire’s capacity to build an Aquatic
Centre. The question is if it was that simple,
they would have built it during their tenure,”
he said.
The Mayor was at another event and said
he couldn’t comment verbatim on the
Councillors comments, but did say, “if there
is no report or budget for the project been
presented to Council and approved, it would
be foolish to mislead residents in to believing
an Aquatic Centre is imminent.”
“The fact is there is no budget or funding
mechanism available at the present time.
However, we will still advocate strongly for
the facility, as it would be unreasonable to
expect our ratepayers to fund such a project;
they don’t in marginal seats,” Cr Tatchell
said.
Bacchus Marsh Freemasons branch Duke of
Abercorn Lodge has donated $500 to the St
Andrews Uniting Church in Bacchus Marsh,
to aid with the church’s Christmas Toy Fund
Appeal.
The donation was made at the Lodge’s
meeting in October where the branch’s new
leader, Malcolm Mann, presented a cheque
to St Andrews Uniting Church.
“Freemasons are taught to practise charity
and to care, not only for their members,
but for the community as a whole, through
charitable giving and voluntary effort”, said
Mr Mann during the presentation.
Ian Morris of St Andrew’s Uniting Church
thanked the Duke of Abercorn Lodge for
their generous donation.
In a tradition that has carried on for 130
years, the branch also held its annual change
of officers meeting back in September.
Mr Mann was installed as Worshipful
Master for the ensuing 12-months,
succeeding Trevor Kick.
Following the presentation, members and
visitors heard a reading of the ‘Lodge’s
Warrant’, first presented to the Lodge on 30
March 1889 by Sir William John Clarke.
This warrant replaced the Duke of Abercorn
Lodge’s original warrant, issued by the
Grand Lodge of Ireland and presented to the
Lodge on its formation on 7 July 1888.
The meeting concluded with a selection of
articles that appeared in the Bacchus Marsh
Express newspaper recalling the early
history of the Lodge (1888 to 1907) and events
occurring in the Bacchus Marsh district.

Spotlight on
crime prevention
The Jonathan Drive Public Lighting Project has
received funding from the State government, to
the tune of $99,000.
Member for Melton Steve McGhie MP announced
Moorabool Shire Council would receive funding
for the Jonathan Drive Public Lighting Project in
Darley, to tackle community safety concerns under
the Public Safety Infrastructure Fund.
“The Jonathan Drive Public Lighting Project will
combat unwanted and antisocial behaviour and
give residents the confidence to engage and enjoy
their community.
“These improvements will also help boost
the local economy by making the space a more
desirable and enticing place to visit,” Mr McGhie
said.

Quenching thirst for knowledge

Helping people to stay water smart is a key role Western Water
plays within the local community.
Starting off in the region’s primary schools over 15 years ago,
Western Water’s free educational program has evolved and
expanded to reflect the changing demographics, needs and
interests of the area’s growing community.
Western Water encourages other local community groups in
Darley, Bacchus Marsh and Maddingley to take advantage of the
program. Adult learning centres, seniors’ groups, multicultural
clubs, disability services, and support networks for new migrants
and refugees are just some of the organisations that can get
involved.
General Manager, Customer, Community Relations and
Operations, Graham Holt, said the popularity of the program
continues to grow with the number of people engaged increasing

Music in the highlands Tapping in

Blackwood Hall is set to be infused
with music from around the globe for a
family-friendly event this month.
Local musician Cat Moser, of folk duo
‘Cat & Clint’, is bringing Melbourne-
based West Papuan group The Black
Orchid Stringband and local trio
Honeyfields to the stage on Sunday, 10
November.
The Black Orchid Stringband is
comprised of musicians from the
West Papuan community in Australia,
who use music to maintain the spirit
of national unity in the West Papuan
struggle for freedom.
With an emphasis on rhythmic
ukuleles and big harmonies, the group’s
music draws on the rich backlog of
songs written and archived in the spirit
of cultural survival.
All-women trio Honeyfields interpret
old and new music with a refreshing,
original approach, steeped in the
Australian folk music culture they
grew up with.
Comprised of Moser, Nicola Strating
and Corinn Strating, their combined
skills create a listening experience of
authentic folk music at its finest.
Ms Moser said it is important to
bring different styles of music to the
Blackwood community.
“We are very lucky to have the
amazing Black Orchid String band
sharing their music and culture with
us; it’s a rare opportunity for country
people,” she said.
Having been a member of the
Blackwood community for nine years,
Ms Moser said she has seen the local
music scene grow from “strength to
strength.”
“There has been a core group of us
who organised the Blackwood Music
Festival for a number of years, as
well as the Blackwood Academy and
Revue,” she said.
“In addition to this, we have hosted
touring bands, organised community
music events, local jam sessions and
many other musical ventures.”
“We take a lot of pride in our artistic
musical community.”
Ms Moser said local music events
“provide an opportunity for people
to come together and connect while
experiencing the pure joy that music
brings.”
“We rely on people from other towns
to keep our events and businesses
running, and our town alive and well.”
The Black Orchid String band and
Honeyfields trio will perform at
Blackwood Hall on Sunday, November
10 at 3pm.
Tickets are $25 full and $20 concession,
with kids under-16 free.

to change
Western Water has pledged to become carbon-neutral by
2050.
Their aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10
per cent below baseline emissions (an average of 2012-2016
emissions) by 2025.
Western Water’s Managing Director Jeff Rigby says that
increased demand for its services from urban growth within
its service region, alongside expected reductions in available
supply, is one of the greatest challenges posed by climate
change.
“In the face of climate change, it’s clear we need to be more
flexible in our approach and, as a climate-dependent service
provider, we must show leadership,” he said.
“Above all, we’re committed to providing a quality service
to our customers with minimal environmental impact from
our operations”.
Western Water’s Corporate Plan 2020 identifies climate
change and rapid growth as key factors which will influence
their future operations.
According to the report, the impacts of climate change are
already being observed across the Western Water service
region, with reduced rainfall and increased temperatures in
the area.
Mr Rigby said Western Water intends to reduce its
emissions using a range of sustainable practices, including
the installation of large solar panel arrays, with construction
underway on a 500kw system at Melton Recycled Water
Plant.
“Currently, the plant uses biogas, another renewable energy
source, to power around 30 per cent of its energy supply.”
Western Water also plans to mitigate the effects of climate
change using a series of waste reduction and resource
recovery programs.

Spreading sustainability
By Meg Kennedy
With recent concern around the environment,
a local author has penned a guide to living
sustainably.
Ballan author Liz O’Dwyer will present a talk on
her book ‘Switch on Sustainability’ this weekend,
which chronicles small and effective changes to
live a more sustainable lifestyle.
With two decades-worth of sustainable living, Ms
O’Dwyer says the number-one action people can
make, on a smaller scale, is “to understand that we
do have a lot more choice than we realise we do.”
She stressed the three most important changes
include limiting the use of everyday soft plastics;
exposure to different chemicals, such as food
grown with sprayed chemicals or around the
home; and food waste, from throwing out unused
food to over-ordering at a café.
As for what is most surprising about making a
switch to sustainable living, Ms O’Dwyer said the
“simplicity of it” once habits are formed.
“What I say to people is to only make one change
at a time, because I’ve tried to make 20 changes at
once, and nothing sticks, and we feel like we’ve
failed,” she said.
“It’s a matter of making sure it’s part of your daily
habit; whether it’s using cloth bags when you go
to the supermarket rather than relying on the
supermarket bag, and make sure that is just so
engrained in your subconscious that you pick up
your bags before you walk out the door as part of
your daily habit.”
“Because we run on autopilot, and so we need to
engrain these new processes into our subconscious
before we can actually move onto the next one, so
one change at a time.”
As well as lessening the impact on the
environment, living sustainably can also reap
benefits for reducing living costs and the burden
of consumerism.
“Materialism comes into it, yes it does, and it just
takes such a weight off your shoulders [to say] ‘I
don’t have to have this, I don’t have to have that,
I don’t have to keep up with everything else’, and
that’s just consumerism at its best, and we just don’t
need it, really,” she said.
“It’s living that simplistic lifestyle, rather than
being overwhelmed and over-burdened by the
current lifestyle that most of us think we need to
live.”
Liz O’Dwyer will discuss Switch on Sustainability
on Saturday, 9 November from 11am – 12pm at the
Ballan Library (in the Mechanics Institute), located
at 143 Inglis Street, Ballan.
Tickets are free, but you can register at:

Such is life
By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A 46-year-old man who was worried about the well-being
of his wife unintentionally dobbed himself into police and
faced the charges on Friday October 25.
It was on February 22 of this year that police were called out
to a house by a woman who said she feared she may “harm
herself”.
The woman’s husband, who will remain unnamed to protect
the identity of the victim, was called to assist police to get
inside the house due to his wife’s lack of cooperation with
police.
It was alleged by the prosecution, Senior Constable Helen
Farmer, that the accused was asked if there were any
weapons inside the house, he then told police that there was
an “old firearm that the family owned”.
The accused told police where the firearm was kept and
gave police consent to search the house for the weapon.
“She moved the gun because she panicked. She didn’t know
[the accused] would tell the police about it,” the accused’s
lawyer said.
“[The police] wouldn’t have noticed it if he hadn’t have said
anything,” the accused’s lawyer continued.
The court was told by the accused’s lawyer that the gun
was going to be used as a decorative item in his Ned Kelly
themed bar at the home address.
“So, he idolises Ned Kelly?” Magistrate Gregory Robinson
asked.
“He has a decorative interest in him and those sort of items,”
the accused’s lawyer rebutted. “He is a man who has learnt a
lesson and is very unlikely to come back to court.”
When inside, the police noticed that the firearm had been

Halloween horror
By Meg Kennedy
Police are investigating
after a child was believed
to have accidently ingested
prescription medication
whilst trick-or-treating in
Bacchus Marsh last week.
The three-year-old child
was taken to hospital on
the evening of Thursday, 31
October, and was treated by
paramedics after an incident
on Halletts Way.
In a statement to The
Moorabool News, police
confirmed that the child’s
mother noticed the little girl
was not well and an ambu-
lance was called.
Investigators have been told
the child may have ingested
a prescription medication
and are currently making
enquiries as to how this
happened.
Paramedics were called just
before eight o’clock, and the
girl was taken to Sunshine
One more strike toward jail
By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A Gordon man is facing a period off the
road after a second driving offence within
an 18-month period.
Elis Hasaj was travelling west on Bacchus
Marsh road, Bacchus Marsh when he
was stopped by police at a preliminary
breath testing station, the Bacchus Marsh
Magistrates court heard on Friday 25
October.
It was alleged by prosecutor Senior
Constable Helen Farmer that when Hasaj
was tested, there was “alcohol present” on
his breath and was subsequently taken to an
onsite testing vehicle.
The prosecution told the court the accused’s
blood alcohol content at the time of this
offending was 0.082%, Hasaj allegedly told
police he “wasn’t sure how much [alcohol he
had consumed the night before]”.
Dam maintenance reminder
Recent rainfall has tested the integrity
of some farm dams, serving as a timely
reminder for landowners to carry out routine
maintenance.
Southern Rural Water’s
Groundwater and Rivers, Hugh Christie,
said that a dam is a valuable asset on any
farm, providing essential stock or irrigation
water supplies and should be inspected
throughout the year as part of preventative
maintenance.
“Dam failure not only leads to expensive
repair bills; it also means lost production
while the dam is repaired,” Mr Christie said.
“The owner is also legally liable for any
damage a failed dam causes to people,
property or the environment.”
Some basic good practice guidelines from
Southern Rural Water to help achieve a long
operating life from your dam:
SPILLWAY - must be designed to cope with
large storms and rainfall runoff. The spillway
must never be reduced in size without the
approval of your rural water authority.
COMPENSATION PIPE AND VALVE
- the valve must be operated regularly to
avoid seizure due to rust and other build
up. Operating regularly will also reduce the
amount of silt and other debris that can build
up in the compensation pipe. Safe and simple
access to the valve must be maintained at all
times.

decision to expand the First
Home Buyers Scheme will
have amazing benefits to
regional Victorian Real
Estate.
The REIV openly welcomes
the plan unveiled last
week by Treasurer Josh
Frydenberg, which will
encourage first-home buyers
on lower incomes to enter
the property market with a
deposit of just 5 per cent.
In regional Victoria, a 5 per
cent deposit will mean that a
potential homeowner would
only need to save $18,750
to purchase a property
www.arbeerealestate.com.au worth $375,000, under the
expanded scheme that
140 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh 5367 2333 comes into effect in January
Arbee Real Estate 2020.
Sunday’s announcement
has created a lot of buzz
across Victoria’s real estate
sector.
Our market will be swarmed
by new buyers, resulting in
further transactions in our
community.
More buyers will also
mean more houses being
constructed and extra jobs in
our region.
The First Home Buyers
Scheme will also be attractive
to new buyers looking to
relocate in regional Victoria
where they get better value
for money and a terrific
lifestyle to boot.
The regional Victorian
real estate sector is already
in healthy shape, with the
recent REIV Quarterly
Median figures proving that
our market is bouncing back.
This upcoming summer
is a fantastic time for local
sellers, with extra buyers
around we will need a lot
more properties up for sale.
If you were unsure about
selling your home, now is
the perfect time to do so.
As always, if a buyer or a
seller is looking for objective
information on the market
or an agency– they should
visit reiv.com.au.
