Good on you Dad! shouted Moira
Westfold, with a triumphant punch in the
air.
Ms Westfold and her brother Michael Moon
were the first to officially sit on a special seat
outside the Bacchus Marsh RSL.
The WWI bench seat was unveiled along
with a memorial paver and interpretive
sign, in honour of their father Rupert Vance
Moon VC; and marked 100 years since he
was awarded the Victoria Cross for gallant
service at Bullecourt on 12 May 1917.
The paver and sign were revealed at a small
dedication at the Rupert Moon Reserve,
eastern end of the Avenue of Honour, on
Saturday 6 May, 2017.
Rupert Moon has a tree plaque in the
Avenue, number 164, and was affectionately
know as Mickey Moon.
State RSL President Dr. Robert Webster, said
since Federation, over 2 million Australians
have worn services uniforms; 800,000 have
served overseas and 100 are Victoria Cross
recipients.
Born in Bacchus Marsh on 14 August 1892,
Rupert Moon enlisted just 22 years later on
21 August 1914. In May 1915 he arrived in
Gallipoli, Turkey.
Despite injury on numerous occasions,
Rupert Moon was a true leader. He took, and
led, his men through difficult terrain.
He did this time and time again, at times
with injury, but he still led his men bravely.
This sign and plaque will allow the people
of today to read his story of yesterday, Dr
Webster said.
Commander Terry Makings AM (Victorian
Shine of Remembrance Governor) revealed
more astonishing statistics.
In WWI, one in ten joined up; one in five
made the supreme sacrifice. Some families
had eight boys join up.
We respect the effort made by people such
as Rupert Moon.
Everybody alive today has or is directly
related to WWI; maybe not on both sides,
Mr Makings said.
Rupert Moon died in 1986.
The event was organised by the Bacchus
Marsh Great War Centenary Committee
and the Bacchus Marsh RSL; the sign and
paver was funded by the State and Federal
Government and installed by Moorabool
Shire Council; the bench seat was designed
locally by Mark Gilliland, constructed
and a fully funded donation by Rossco
Engineering (Mick and Emma Horan).

Im signing because the sentence received by the killer
is manifestly inadequate; the details of the murder and
the time it took the victim to die are absolutely shocking
Patrick

By Jessica Howard
The family of murdered war
veteran Ken Handford was gut
wrenched when the convicted kill-
er received a considerable discount
on his jail term.
The Springbank farmer was found
tied up on his bedroom floor on the
morning of his 90th birthday. He
had been stabbed 13 times in the
back and left to die more than four-
hours later.
The killer, Jonathon Jeffrey Coop-
er was jailed for 16 years, but will
serve a minimum of 13 years.
Justice Jane Dixon said his cooper-
ation with the prosecution, admis-
sions to the stabbing and evident
remorse had attracted a sentencing
discount.
She said without that, and his plea
of guilty, Cooper would have been
sentenced to 27 years behind bars -
meaning he received a discount of
41 per cent.
Mr Handfords granddaughter,
Leah said the result was grossly
inadequate.
The sentence does not fit the
crime at all. While we anticipated
that justice would be limited, noth-
ing could have prepared us for
this, she said.
It is unbelievable that someone
who, after murdering an innocent
man, has been well behaved and as
a result, can nearly halve their total
sentence. [Cooper] will be free to
walk in a little over a decade and
if he lives to Pops age, he will have
50-years of freedom. It just doesnt
add up.
The Handford family last week
launched a petition calling on Mr
John Champion, the Director of
Public Prosecutions, to lodge an ap-
peal against the imposed sentence.
We want to see [Cooper] jailed
for the maximum of 27 years, Ms
Handford said.
We are just spectators, but this this time will end on May 19.

A sign of fellowship
By Jane Gardner
Theres a reason why the Ballan Mens Shed
has the handshake as part of their logo. Its
because they are all about extending the
hand of friendship. Its perhaps also because
the men are so good at making things with
their hands. Either way, the Ballan Mens
Shed provides a place of camaraderie,
companionship and support that is perfectly
represented by their emblem.
So when Gordon resident, industrial
engraver and plaque maker Andrew Borg
offered to create and donate a plaque
depicting the Mens Shed logo, the men
readily agreed.
I wont knock anything back when its
free, jokes Mens Shed member Frank
Higgins, adding that its the generosity of
local businesses that assist us in doing what
we do, or being as successful as we are.

Reserve - not what its cracked up to be

Cracks are appearing at the
Ballan Recreation Reserve
sporting facility, literally.
The multi-use netball court
was nearly deemed unus-
able after large, long and
thick cracks appeared.
The home game for the club
against Beaufort was nearly
a forfeit.
Recreation Reserve Chair-
person Bill Smith said they
had to make some very ur-
gent repairs.
Five-years ago, due to new
netball regulations, the ten-
nis courts were extended
to accommodate a netball
court. Our old netball court
did not have the room to
extend so we went on to
the tennis courts. Council
extended it for us but it was
only a band-aid repair, and
now we have a major re-
pair, he said.
We were lucky that Peter
Hughes from Professional
Sport Services came up at
a moments notice, (and)
cleaned and repaired the
court so our game could go
ahead.
But this is only a temporary
fix.
We are the second largest
town in this shire and our
recreation reserve has third
world facilities, Mr Smith
said.
And the netball-come-
tennis courts are not the
only asset that is falling
down around them. The
childrens playground looks
like a crime scene with cor-
doned off red and white tape
around it. Bolts are sticking
up, seats are broken and the
equipments in a state of total
disrepair. Boundary boards
are falling over and the chip
bark is long gone.
Mr Smith said Member for
Buninyong Geoff Howard
has been stealthily silent.
He came here close on two
years ago and we showed
him that cracks were start-
ing to appear. Now they are
beyond repair, the whole
area needs a facelift.
The reserve also has light
towers from a by-gone era.
The netball area received
the football night light tow-
ers when the football towers
were replaced. These light
towers for the football came
from Pentridge Prison. I
think a good torch would

now, Mr Smith concluded. Photos Helen Tatchell

Ward Councillor has his say

Central Ward councillor Paul Tatchell has told The Moorabool
News an inspection at the Reserve was only done last month
by himself, Mayor Cr. David Edwards and the responsible
council officer.
This inspection included the playground and was to highlight
the serious issues, and it still fails the priority test. Its
astounding.
The playground was taped up like a crime scene and the
netball court looked like it had the San Andreas fault running
through it; the Department for common sense must have had
a rostered day off, Cr Tatchell said.
Whilst money is allocated every year, Cr Tatchell said the Rec
Reserve is a secondary tier facility owned by DELWP and a
maintenance allowance issued, that is funded by Council.
Its more than obvious that the funding is deficient to manage
the reserve. In my view, the maintenance should be handed
back to Council to expose the real cost, and take the pressure
off the hard working volunteers battling the fiscal realities.
Cr Tatchell said the argument that DELWP managed rec
reserves are funded the same as Council owned properties,
is a myth.
It is incomprehensible also that the Ballan Rec Reserve was
left out of the recent draft Council Plan. The fact that fellow
Councillors tried to argue the toss on my insistence that it be
included, is reprehensible; knowing full well the Council Plan
doubles as an advocacy document for State and Federal
funding.
The vocal councilor said he has ordered yet another Master
Plan that will be paid for from the Central Ward Fund.
So the bureaucrats can then procrastinate the bloody obvious
and prepare yet another advocacy document to lure some
much needed investment into the Shires second largest town.
The biggest problem is State and Federal funding is delivered
based on politics and not needs. I encourage people to call
on their local members and demand some attention, he said.

And in the morning, we will remember them
By Jessica Howard
Ballan RSL has re-established
a lost tradition by hosting the
towns first Anzac Day dawn
service in many years.
The commemorative event
saw more than 150 people
gather at the AA McLean Re-
serve in Ballan, where they
stood in solidarity beside the
Aleppo Pine tree.
The Anzac tree was originally
planted by the Ballan Sub-
Branch of the RSL from a seed-
ling originating from the Lone
Pine tree in Gallipoli.
It is unknown when, or if, Bal-
lan last held a dawn service in
the area.
The memorial event comes
after the clubs recent Annual
General meeting, which saw
the election of a new seven-
member committee.
Bob Nason took on the role
of Senior Vice President as he
handed his long-term
presidency role over to Rick
Campey.
Secretary, Joy Geoghegan will
join treasurer Phil Winter on
the committee alongside mem-
bers Graham Christensen,
Cindy Marett and Brett Bond.
Mr Campey said he was over
the moon with the commu-
nitys response to this years
Anzac day events.
The dawn service and the
afternoon service were both re-
ally well supported by the local
community including both pri-
mary schools, the Ballan scouts
and the local CFA, he said.

Walking around the nation

By Jessica Howard
A group of Bacchus Marsh Primary School
students have walked over 1,200-kilometres
since the beginning of Term one.
The Grade Four class spend the first ten
minutes of each morning walking, or
running, laps of the soccer oval.
Teacher, Damian Richards said students
tally their laps at the end of each day and
calculate how far they have walked as a class.
At the time of writing, students had covered
over 1,260-kilometres - the equivalent of
Bacchus Marsh to Surfers Paradise.
We started the project as a way to get the
children out of the classroom and to start
the day with a bit of physical activity, Mr
Richards said.
As they calculate their laps, they also

His license was cancelled
for a period of two-years.

Newborns in the district

Its been a while coming,
but the Western side of Mel-
bourne now has a small ded-
icated school for students
with vision impairments
and its in Bacchus Marsh.
Insight Education Centre,
which is privately run and
the only dedicated school in
the State for students with
vision impairments, is open-
ing a satellite campus at Bac-
chus Marsh Grammar.
Insight itself is located in
Berwick, in the far east of
Melbourne, making it a long
trek for parents of children
with vision impairments
and in some cases, its just
too far to go.
The Bacchus Marsh satellite
campus is the first of several
that are set to be rolled out
throughout Victoria, in-
creasing access to the only
specialised teaching avail-
able to students with vision
impairments.
thy Hemphill, explained
that the new Satellite Units
will provide blind and vi-
sion impaired students with
access to Insights specialist
teachers, who will deliver
the Expanded Core and Vic-
torian Curriculum.
In addition, the students
will be able to access essen-
tial life skills and
advocacy programs. This
affords the vision impaired
students the best of both
worlds for their education
i.e. specialist intervention
within a mainstream set-
ting, Mr Hemphill said.
Since Insights opening in
2014, Alan Lachman, In-

standard of education across
Victoria for students who are

mined to build a school that
specifically catered for these
young students, preparing
them for mainstream school

The partnership with Bac-
chus Marsh Grammar is
the first step in the process
of providing access for the

Arrow not on target
A man who shot an ar-
row that narrowly missed
a sleeping 16-year-old has
been described by a Bacchus
Marsh Magistrate as the
luckiest man in the district.
Aaron Konieczny, 24, alleg-
edly set up a target in the
backyard of his Darley prop-
erty and aimed a bow and
arrow at it at about 7:30am
on November 13 last year.
The target, made from a
volleyball and bricks, was
missed by the arrow, which
travelled over a fence and
through the next door neigh-
bours window, landing just
one metre above a 16-year-
old male asleep in his bed.
Konieczny appeared in
court on Friday (May 12)
charged with reckless con-
duct endangering life.
Police prosecutor, Leading
Senior Constable Lisa Sch-
oemaker said the victims
father, who was woken by
the noise of the arrow, went
outside and began verbally
challenging the accused,
who had not slept since the
day before.
She said Konieczny apolo-
gised to the man before he
was gestured inside by his
mother.
The court heard that the
bow and arrow belonged to
one of Koniecznys friends,
who had been at the house
the day before.
The family of the victim
rang the police, who attend-
ed the scene and took photo-
graphs before arresting the
accused.
Konieczny allegedly made
full admissions to police,
stating that it was just a bit
of fun and that he didnt
think any harm would come
from that.
His defence lawyer referred
to the incident as a freak
accident, stating that her
client believed that if the ar-
row had missed the target, it
would have been stopped by
the back fence or trampoline.
Not for a moment did he
think it would hurt anyone
or travel all the way through
to the other house. As soon
as the father approached
him, he apologised im-
mensely, she said.
In hindsight, he under-
stands how dangerous and
stupid his actions were He
is absolutely shocked and
could not possibly show any
more remorse.
The court heard that the last
three years had been spent
in a downward spiral due to
drug use, however the shock
of the incident had resulted
in Konieczny turning his life
around.
He has learnt a really big
lesson and the court can be
confident that he will never
do something this stupid
again, the defence said.
Magistrate Mark Strapt-
mann said everyone in-
volved was extremely
fortunate.

New incentives for first
home buyers in the
Western Growth Corridor
As part of the Victorian Governments recent announcement of housing
affordability initiatives, from 1 July, 2017, the First Home Buyers Grant
will increase from $10,000 to $20,000 for new homes built in Regional
Victoria, including the Moorabool Shire.
While a lack of housing options in the area had previously been a barrier
to those wanting to move to Melbournes West, the new Underbank
project in Bacchus Marsh is proving to be an opportunity you wont
want to pass up.
The $250 million dollar project from Kataland is already underway,
with its first park expected to be landscaped and ready for use this July.
The first two stages of the project are already 95% sold at Underbank,
accounting for 30% of all land sales in Bacchus Marsh in the 9 months

Less than an hours drive from Melbournes CBD, Underbank is an

as its own town centre, walking trails and recreation facilities so the

On the banks of the beautiful Werribee River sits the most exclusive release of
land in the historic Underbank Stud Farm.
Nestled between the water and the escarpment, Rivers Edge is the only land at

sold by a registration of interest campaign online, with prospective
buyers selecting their block in a first come first serve basis.
Those looking to take advantage of the governments increased

The population of the Western Growth Corridor is expected to grow
to 277,000 with the completion of infrastructure projects including the
Regional Rail Link and the proposed Metropolitan Ring transport
corridor, increasing the demand for more housing opportunities to help

Hall needs your attention

Mount Wallace is turning
its attention to its local hall,
with residents encouraged
to provide their feedback on
a draft masterplan.
Mount Wallace Reserve
Committee of Management
Chairman, Lee Gleeson
said residents from Mount
Wallace, Fiskville, Ballark,
Beremboke and beyond
were invited to attend a
family day Sunday 28 May.
The family day is all
about enticing the local
community in to get some
feedback on a draft master
plan the Community of
Management has started,
he said.
Photo - submitted Recently the halls inside
toilets were renovated using
a grant from Moorabool
Shire Council and the new
committee, elected late last
year, have identified a list
of further projects which
would improve the hall and
reserve.
Before we begin on a
journey of maintenance and
improvement, we need the
local communities to tell
us what they think are the
priority projects that will
help attract more use of this
fantastic meeting place.
Mr Gleeson said the
committee had put together
the master draft plan and a
list of costed projects.
What we need now is for
families to rank our projects
into short, medium and
longer term priorities. There
are numerous funding
sources available and
the committee will work
hard to attract funding to
progress as many projects as
possible.
The family day will be held
at the Mount Wallace Hall
and Reserve from 11am on
the Sunday.
Local residents are invited
to help prioritise future
projects while enjoying a free
barbeque and refreshments.

Palliative Care Week (May 22-28)
By Kate Taylor
At some point, most of us
know someone who will
make their end-of-life a lit-
tle bit happier, and a little bit
easier.
And its easier to do than
one might think offering to
feed pets while someone is
in hospital, or helping make
video messages as memories
for the kids.
As Peter Randall, from Djer-

when most people hear the
term Palliative Care they

he said.
We also encourage peo-
ple to talk about death and
to plan for death. Saying
goodbye is a lovely, if pain-
ful, part of life, but many
people dont acknowledge
death is possible until after
it occurs. Planning to die
at home is special for many
people, but also takes some
forethought.
Meanwhile, there is a con-
cept that is gaining ground
in communities around the
world called Compassion-
ate Communities - its based
on the view that it takes a
village to raise a child, and
it also takes a village to sup-
port a person at the end of
their life.
Communities such as
Bacchus Marsh, Ballan and
Myrniong act as the Villag-
es, Peter explains.
Neighbours can be crucial
in accompanying people
to Doctors appointments,
or looking after pets while
someones in hospital.
Friends can be important by
distracting people from their
illness, or crying with them
while facing it. Local Doc-
tors can move from focus-
ing on quantity to quality of
life.
As weve seen even recently
in Bacchus Marsh, business-
es and sports clubs, commu-
nity and spiritual groups are
also excellent at supporting
specific families emotionally
or financially, and fundrais-
ing generally for the Cancer
Council.
Community and sports
groups also play a big role in
helping people grieve, focus-
ing them into healthy activ-
ity while they are mourning
the loss of loved ones.
The message is as clear as it
is final.
Palliative Care is best
provided by an entire com-
munity. Please use Palliative
Care Week to think of some-
one who might need you as
their Village, Mr Randall
said.
May 22-28 is Palliative Care

Letters to the Editor

Email: news@themooraboolnews.com.au
Dear Editor,
Last week was National
Volunteers Week and while
Victorians are celebrating
our CFA firefighters gen-
erous contribution, Labor
Premier Daniel Andrews is
planning to sell out volun-
teers by splitting the CFA.
It has been revealed only re-
cently that Daniel Andrews
has set up a secret commit-
tee to split the CFA, casting
aside the tens of thousands
of CFA volunteers that he
considers inferior to his un-
ion mates.
After two years of ideo-
logical attacks by Daniel An-
drews and his union mates
on the CFA, it is no wonder
Victoria has thousands
fewer volunteers defend-
ing the life and property of
Victorians.
Splitting the CFA will only
result in further reductions
in the number of volunteer
firefighters, which will in
turn reduce the states abil-
ity to mobilise large num-
bers of emergency personnel
to major disasters while also
maintaining local service
coverage.
Volunteers and career fire-
fighters saved countless lives
on Black Saturday. Imagine
how much more catastroph-
ic it would have been with-
out thousands of volunteers
standing side-by-side with
their career colleagues, put-
ting their lives on the line.
Unlike the Andrews Gov-
ernment, the Liberal Party
celebrated volunteer fire-
fighters contribution to the
community during National
Volunteers Week. We will
continue to stand by our
CFA volunteers to ensure
their rights and the lives of
all-Victorian families are
protected.
We need to protect the vol-
unteers who protect us all.
Joshua Morris MP
State Member for
Western Victoria
Dear Editor,
I cannot believe that the Vic-
torian Labor Premier Daniel
Andrews is still trying to
destroy the Country Fire
Authority and its volunteers.
Dan has pulled together a
secret taskforce to work out
how to broaden the control
of the United Fire Fighters
Union (UFU), at the expense
of CFA volunteers. And our
safety.
And yet it is very believable
given his love affair with the
union.
Actually, it is more than a
love affair its a big IOU
emanating from the scandal-
ous behaviour of UFU mem-
bers at the last state election.

O Captain! My Captain!
(Apologies to Walt Whitman)
Whilst we didnt have a home and away
game on Saturday, we are proud to
have had Devils Senior Captain
Shane Page picked as skipper of the
Ballarat Football League side that
took on Bendigo Football League at
Queen Elizabeth Oval in Bendigo.
This is a real feather in Shanes cap
and says it all about this interleague
specialist. The highly skilled Pagey
has now played for both Bendigo
and Ballarat in the Interleague. He
was selected for Bendigo whilst
playing for Kyneton and first played
for Ballarat in 2015, the Devils last
premiership year. Shane is a very
popular Captain at Darley and we
congratulate him on his weekend
achievement.
Ballarat Football League won the
match against Bendigo FL 16.9 to
14.10.
Best on ground was Darleys Brian
Graham with his brother Chris and
Captain Page also contributing well.
This Saturday 20th May:
We are away to Sebastopol at the
newly resurfaced Marty Busch oval.
By all reports the new playing field
is sensational and conducive to
great footy. Come along and watch
the Burras v Devils matches on the
netball courts and the footy field.
THEN (Wait for it...)
Saturday May 27th we are finally
home again(!!) to Melton South. This
will be a big day at Darley Park with
Heath Scotlands Devils taking on
Brendan Fevolas Panthers. Put this
date in your diaries now to watch
these two old Carlton team-mates
lead their teams onto the field for
the match of the round. As usual at
Darley Park there will be Canteen,
BBQ and Bar Sales. No packaged
liquor to be brought into the ground
please.
After the matches on the 27th, come
into the clubrooms for the Devils
Black & White Night. There will
be fun and festivities with a DJ for

The Ballarat FNL Junior Interleague Program is back this weekend
for another season and we are looking for club assistance at our
upcoming carnivals to assist players with strapping and on-field
care if required.
The Ballarat FNL requires the help of all clubs with our interleague
program as the League does not have the resources to provide this
assistance to players. In the end players competing across the pro-
grams are your clubs players and we ask that ALL clubs share the
load when it comes to providing trainers.
With programs in Sunbury and Ballarat this year, we have allocat- 7a Grant Street 3340
ed clubs to a specific carnival. It will be required that your club will
provide at least ONE trainer to the specific carnival as listed below: Bacchus Marsh
