By Helen Tatchell
There has been plenty of creative ideas happening indoors,
cooking, baking, drawing and dancing, whilst the COVID-19
self-isolation hits home to many.
However, whilst safe distancing is in force, one Ballan family
got to work at home creating colourful artwork, with mum
using the main street as the platform for those messages.
The mother came up with the idea to entertain her three
children after a friend shared a facebook page, the Rainbow
Trail Australia.
“We looked at different ways to make a rainbow and make
up slogans, and was really something to do with the kids,”
she said.
“The rainbow was created with shaving cream in a baking
tray and coloured food dye, then we dipped the paper into
the tray, with the image appearing on the paper which we
then laminated.”
The rainbow trail has taken Moorabool by storm, with
windows painted, driveways coloured with chalk and just
rainbows on paper in house windows.
“The kids were laughing and smiling when I drove them
around, looking at their artwork. In this very significant
time, it is purposeful to have some sort of joy.”
Have you run out of ideas to entertain the children? Can’t
get to the library? Then, let it come to you.
If you have preschool or school-age children who would
normally attend story-time or rhyme-time activities during
the school holidays, they won’t miss out as Moorabool Shire
Council libraries will be livestreaming these events, in the
safety and comfort of your lounge room.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, library staff will livestream an
event to its Facebook page, Moorabool Libraries, along with
nursery rhymes and stories.
Mayor David Edwards said this is just one small thing we
… and

home
can do in the Shire during these school holidays.
“… provide a small service for the kids that they might be
missing,” he said.
“We would normally have school holiday programs running
in our Bacchus Marsh and Ballan libraries and obviously this
holiday period is going to be very different to normal so any
small way we can make a difference and give children some
normality is a great thing.”
Rhyme-time will be livestreamed on Tuesdays at 10am
and Story-time on Thursdays at 10.30am. Craft activities
will be posted to the Facebook page on the other weekdays.
Livestreams will stay on the Facebook page after the events
if the time doesn’t suit families.
Moorabool Shire Council has sorted out copyright through the
Australian Library and Information Association. Videos must not
be downloaded and will be taken down at the end of the pandemic
period.

Results, but presentations on hold

Ballan Cricket Club
By Chris Thom

Ballan’s 1st XI team have taken out the 2019/20 BCA

2nd Grade Premiership, finishing on top of the ladder
after defeating Wendouree on the Qualifying Final last
weekend.
The following is an excerpt from the BCA with the
reasoning behind the awarding of the Premierships due to
COVID-19.
“Following on from the decision to cancel all cricket matches this
weekend and beyond, the Board and PC of the Ballarat Cricket
Association have declared that the following rules apply relating
to determination of winners for the 2019/20 season.
Excerpts from Senior Rules 28 and 29 – ‘Should no decision be
reached or a tie result, the winner shall be deemed to be the team
highest ranked after the Qualifying Finals’.
Qualifying finals are references to matches directly preceding
Semi, Preliminary and/or Grand Finals.
All Senior and Junior matches scheduled for March 20, 21 &
22 will be treated the same as they would have been, for example
washed out, with the highest ranked teams deemed winners. With
this determination, the Clubs in each Grade will be awarded the
season 2019/20 Premierships.”

All-rounders top of their game

By Caitlin Bewley
(3rd Yr Swinburne Uni)

Bacchus Marsh born and bred cricketers have clean-bowled the

Central Highlands Cricket Awards.
Cousins Sam (13) and Daniel (17) Lalor of the Bacchus Marsh
Cricket Club (BMCC) were named U/14 and U/18 Players of the
Series for the 2019/2020 season.
The awards night acknowledged the many outstanding
cricketing achievements from across the Central Highlands
region throughout the season.
“They’re both very similar players,” BMCC Junior Co-ordinator
Stephen Lalor told the Moorabool News. “They can both bat and
bowl and have a left-handed, off spin [bowling style].”
The BMCC Junior Co-ordinator told the Moorabool News that
the Lalor boys, who started their cricket careers back in the Milo
Cricket days, have been at BMCC from the start.
“Daniel has worked his way up through the ranks. He’s an
identified cricket player and has represented the state through
many age groups.
“He played in the U/17 Championships last year and
represented in Vic Country, which is the pathway to Victorian
Premier Cricket, and, ultimately, international cricket.” Mr
Lalor said.
“Sam captained the team for Central Highlands this year, [U/14
Player of the Series] would be his most significant individual
achievement to date.
“He was selected in the Renegade’s team, being one of 12 or
13 people who represent country regions in a youth premier
league program,” Mr Lalor said.
When asked if the two left-handed, off spinning bowlers were
expecting the award, Mr Lalor told the Moorabool News that it
wasn’t a huge surprise because “they’re both potential match
Daniel Lalor winners on game days.” Sam Lalor

Dogs are great therapy Drive-through

By Kate Taylor
As far as the Bacchus Marsh Ambulance
Station is concerned, dogs are also a wom-
an’s best friend, as well as mans.
The recently opened station is one of
many across the state, totalling 4,500 mem-
bers, benefitting from a new peer support
program.
One of the newest AV recruits - Millie the
Old English Sheep Dog - was even at the
opening of the Bacchus Marsh station.
Ambulance Victoria was proudly the first
ambulance service in Australia to recruit a
therapy dog and now after a successful trial,
AV has 12 new recruits in its ranks.
Highly trained AV paramedics and their
dogs visit colleagues and volunteers across
Victoria improving mental health and
wellbeing.
“Because after all, our paramedics spend a
lot of time looking after others and often put
themselves last – this program is all about
changing the stigma around mental health
with a little help by our furry friends…” an
AV spokesperson said.
The therapy dogs are very much needed in
the profession.
“Sadly, the statistics don’t lie. The suicide
rate for paramedics is four times higher than
the state average and three times higher than
for other emergency service workers. Begin-
ning in 2020, the 10 additional Peer Support
Dogs will be incredibly busy helping us
break down barriers and start an important
conversation around mental health.”
Each Peer Support Responder and their
dog will work up to four shifts per month to
make proactive visits to AV sites - respond-
ers will return to their nominal role for the
remainder of their time, with the dog based

at home so it can rest when not engaged in
sanctioned work activities.
“With a dog by their side, Peer Support
Responders have the power to begin the dif-
ficult conversations with paramedics that
may not otherwise happen.”
Furry little faces will also appear on new
computer screen savers each month for AV
operators and include:
Bruce the Labrador
Lexi the Bernese Mountain Dog
Millie the Old English Sheep Dog
Angus the Labrador
Cash the Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Gracie the Labrador
Chomp the Golden Retriever
Anna the Standard Poodle
Daisy the Golden Retriever
Ted the Golden Retriever x Maremma
Skye the Australian Shepherd and,
Boomer the Groodle.
testing in
Ballan
By Kate Taylor
To help contain the spread of COVID-19 and
to maintain their quality services,
Ballan District Health and Care has a drive-
through service, and it is not for a take-away
meal.
The COVID-19 testing service is strictly for
those who meet guidelines set out by the
Victorian Department of Health and Human
Services.
The criteria to be eligible for testing includes
those who have returned from overseas
within the past 14 days and have symptoms
of respiratory illness; those who have been in
close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case
within the past 14 days and have developed
respiratory illness; those who have severe
community acquired pneumonia with no
clear cause; and those who are health care
workers with respiratory illness or fever.
There is currently a global shortage of
COVID-19 test kits, which is why the testing
is targeted.
“Ballan District Health & Care is conducting
COVID-19 testing in designated carparks,”
advised BDH&C CEO Rowena Clift.
People who meet the criteria are advised
to remain in their car outside the GP super
Clinic and call reception on 5366 7999 and
wait for further instructions.
As with all testing clinics, they are only
for the screening of patients who meet the
DHHS high risk criteria for COVID-19.

Court implements
new procedures
By Caitlin Bewley

The usually busy Friday at the Bacchus Marsh Magistrate’s court housed bare seats on
March 27, with the adjourning of multiple cases to mid 2020.
Magistrate Letizia Torres heard numerous intervention orders, cases via video link
and two applications to be relicensed, with most hearings listed to be adjourned until
June 15.
Court staff explained all cases listed for June 15 may not be heard on that date as it is
simply a time for the court to reassign future hearing dates where needed.
Security guards assured the Moorabool News the Bacchus Marsh court will continue
to run, but new protocols will be put into place.
Future hearings will see court goers attend court with their legal representation and
be heard via video link with a Magistrate based in the Ballarat Magistrate’s court.

Teenager exhibits in Next Gen
By Caitlin Bewley
(3rd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A local up and coming artist has described
being chosen as part of the Art Gallery
of Ballarat’s Next Gen 2020 exhibition as
“pretty incredible.”
The former Bacchus Marsh College student,
18-year-old Sarah Falzon’s artwork titled
“Self-Identity” was one of 32 pieces hung
from the gallery’s walls last month.
Art Gallery Director Louise Tegart said the
young artists chosen to participate in the
exhibition portrayed “impressive work” and
“accomplished technical skill”.
“This is just a small selection of the very
impressive work being created by young
people in schools,” Ms Tegart said.
Over the 2019 school year, students were
asked to plan their own projects, set goals,
design works, experiment and refine their
skills.
The pieces that made up the Next Gen 2020
exhibition were those that targeted issues
that are important to young people today,
being gender, appearance, identity and the
environment.
Sarah’s artwork was what she described as
“the importance of her identity at [that] point
in time.”
“I wanted to challenge myself and focus on
a topic that I had never really looked into
before, and that was my own identity,” Sarah
told the Moorabool News.

“I feel like at the time in which I started
the piece, I was about to gain my own
independence due to graduating, so I made
this a reflective piece which I can look back
on in years to come.”
When asked how she felt about being picked
as part of the exhibition, Sarah said it was an
opportunity she was humbled by.
“It feels pretty incredible and I’m so grateful
and so happy that I’m able to share my work
with the public on such a major scale,”
“The Next Gen exhibition really allows
for young artists to have a platform where
they can display their passion for art, whilst
giving you that little bit of confidence that
you’re appreciated and acknowledged.”
Sarah told the Moorabool News she comes
from a creative family and her artistic
ability was embedded in her from a young
age, saying she thinks its “fun to create
something new and inspiring.”
“Art is one of the subjects you can so easily
be criticized, but as long as you’re doing
something that you’re proud of and that
you’re passionate about, it’s totally worth it,”
she said.
The Art Gallery of Ballarat’s Next Gen
2020 exhibition was scheduled to run from
February 29 until May 3 however, due to the
current COVID-19 situation this may have Sarah Falzon with her ‘self-identity’ artwork (background right) in the Ballarat Art Gallery.

Dear Editor, Dear Editor,

Victoria’s Upper House vote to condemn the Labor Government’s proposal to dump
contaminated soil in Bacchus Marsh (Pollies vote no for dump, 25/3) should be considered a
great victory for the community.
Although its effect is non-binding on the government, it demonstrated that both the
opposition and even the crossbench, including a diverse array of minor parties ranging from
Animal Justice to the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers, all believe that dumping toxic soil at
Maddingley Brown Coal would be a reckless decision.
In my speech in the chamber, I contended that “the State Government should not override
legitimate council and community concerns by forcing them to have contaminated soil dumped in their
backyard, because they were too irresponsible to listen to the advice of their own environment regulator.”
Only the Labor Party, including Bacchus Marsh’s other Upper House members, Jaala Pulford
and Gayle Tierney, chose to vote against this motion, showing their support for dumping
toxic soil in Bacchus Marsh.
Where were local members Steve McGhie and Michaela Settle to stand up for their own
communities by ensuring their party colleagues voted to oppose the proposal? Missing, as
they have been throughout most of this debacle.
Clearly, politicians and community advocates from all walks of life totally reject the idea
that we should dump toxic soil at Maddingley Brown Coal – so why is the Labor Party so
determined to Dump on Bacchus?  truck drivers, the environment or on our health?
The Labor Government must not use the distraction of COVID-19 to start dumping toxic soil
in Bacchus Marsh, without the scrutiny of parliament, the community or council.
Beverley McArthur MP
Member for Western Victoria
The current COVID-19 virus is focusing our collective attention at present. We are concerned
for our families, friends and community both for the consequences to their health and to their
wealth. With this in mind be kind to one another, look out for each other and be the best that
we can be for everyone’s sake.
However, do not let the blanket coverage of the virus in all the forms of the media take away
your focus from the travesty that is about to befall our community with the proposed toxic
soil dumping. When we overcome the virus, we would still
have to face the consequences of PFAS contaminated soil ruining our health and economy
on our doorstep.
Follow the Bacchus Marsh Community Coalition Facebook page and Twitter, Google and
read this local paper, keep abreast with what is happening. Watch and listen to David
Davis’ MP speech in the Victorian Upper House, keep the pressure on our very quiet Labor
Representatives :

Will the trucks be properly covered, vetted, tested and will they be road worthy and well
maintained? (My husband and I recently witnessed an MBC truck being pulled over by
Police because there was rubbish and paper and other contaminants flowing from the back
of the truck).
What about the dust mitigation, water seepage, soil containment and proper storage of the
soil?
Is the EPA going to step up, it appears that MBC Licence standards are not being adhered to
currently?
So many questions so few answers.

Community Announcement
As of Monday, March 30, the front door of my electorate office will be closed.
This was a hard decision to make, but in the interests of the safety of my staff and the
broader community we had no other choice.
This is a tough time for many in our community, and I want to assure you all that my
office will be here to help throughout it all.
While the front door may be closed, we will still be available to all in the community
via phone at 03 5338 8123 or email at Catherine.king.mp@aph.gov.au.
While coronavirus is at the forefront of our thoughts, I want to assure you that I remain focused on what
matters to the Bacchus Marsh community, in particular the proposals regarding the storage of contaminated
waste from the Westgate Tunnel Project. While this is primarily a state matter, after briefings from the
State Government, Transurban and Moorabool Shire Council, as well as discussions with community
campaigners, it has become clear to me that the contaminated soil should not come to Bacchus Marsh.
Community engagement and consultation throughout this process has been shockingly lacking. The truck
movements proposed alone are, I believe, frankly unworkable.
Over recent weeks I have reached out to the organiser of the community campaign and provided some
advice. I will continue to engage with community organisers on this important issue.
When it comes to the coronavirus emergency, please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need assistance
in any way.
Important sources of information at this time are:
• If you are concerned about your health, call your GP or the national Coronavirus Health Information
Hotline on 1800 020 080 for advice. The line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
• If you are an older resident of our community, you can also call the Older Persons Advocacy Network
on 1800 237 981 from 8am – 8pm Monday to Friday to discuss your concerns about COVID-19,
• If you have online access, up to date information and advice is available at the Commonwealth
Department of Health (www.health.gov.au) and the Victorian Department of Health (https://www.
dhhs.vic.gov.au/),
• Advice for businesses and individuals facing financial strain can be found at https://www.business.
gov.au/ or https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/, 
• If you or someone you know is in need of mental health support, please call Lifeline on 131114 or
Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636.
• As in every national emergency, ABC will be providing accurate and informative coverage.
Over the coming months remember to keep yourselves healthy. Eat well, keep active and keep in touch
by phone or social media with your family, friends and loved ones.
Most importantly, stay home. If you don’t have to leave the house, don’t leave the house.
I will be staying at home, and you should too.
Our nurses, doctors, paramedics and all medical staff will be working around the clock to keep our
community safe and save lives. By staying at home, we will be making their work easier.
Please don’t hesitate to contact my office with any questions, and I look forward to seeing all of you out
and about in the community as soon as this emergency is over.

Fire Danger Period ending

Autumn is a time for planned burns in the parks and forests
however, it is soon to be legal to plan your private property
burns.
The fire danger period (FDP) will finish at 1am next Monday
6 April in Moorabool Shire.
Gavin Hope (CFA District 15 Acting Operations Manager)
emphasised that while the FDP is coming to an end in some
areas, it is still important to remain vigilant.
“Residents that wish to conduct burn-offs on their private
and regulations,” he said.
Mr Hope said registering your burn-off ensures that if
somebody reports smoke, the incident will be cross- checked
with the burn-off register, which will then prevent CFA
crews wasting resources and showing up on your door.
“False alarms take crews away from family, friends, work
and other potential emergencies.
“A zero tolerance policy will continue to be enforced for
people responsible for illegal fires,” Mr Hope said.

REIV President Leah Cal-

“The Victorian Real Estate

said.
“Many agencies have al-
ready invested in online
platforms for property auc-

them in recent months, and
houses will continue to be
sold in Victoria.”
“As the threat of Corona-
virus continues to evolve, it
is important agents review
their work practices and
monitor the advice daily.”
“Local agents are turn-
ing to technology to sat-
isfy the high demand in
Victorian real estate, with
virtual reality inspections,
and transactions conducted
over the phone and elec-
tronic document signing
over the internet becoming
commonplace.”
“With Interest in Victorian
property remaining strong,
real estate agents will be
doing their best to meet the
needs of their customers
safely.”
“Anybody interested in sell-
ing or purchasing a home
is urged to contact their lo-
cal agent and ask about the
exciting online methods
that can make that dream a
reality.”
