Premiership honour
The Bacchus Marsh Under 14 Lightning Premiership winning team. The junior football and netball teams have kicked off the BFL season with a Lightning Premiership, and the local Under 14 Cobras have taken the honours. The Bacchus Marsh club had four representative teams participating in the events over the weekend with the Under 12 and U14 footballers alongside the U13 and U15 netballers. Club spokesperson Phil Homewood said all players and teams worked extremely hard throughout their respective matches. Across the day the teams performances were a standout, but there were also some exceptional individual efforts across all four matches by both second and rst year players in their teams. Coaches Peter Dickson and Tom Svaljek must be congratulated for their team of Under 14 players for successfully taking the honours. This is a great start to the year for the juniors, he said. In two of the four matches the Under 14 Premiers held their opponents scoreless with Dale Harris awarded the Best Player across the day. The Senior Ballarat FNL 2014 season launch will be held this Friday evening at Saxon House in Ballarat with special guests to include Liz Ellis, and guest speakers from Essendon and North Melbourne football clubs. continued page 29

The accused, Stuart, Denise and Anthony Wilson leave the Ballarat Magistrates Court last week after a two day hearing failed to conclude. Photos Helen Tatchell said Anthony Wilson later explained that Mack was a dog that you dont touch on the head, on the ears or on the feet. When approached by The Moorabool News Trevor Oliver, father of Christine, said he hoped the outcome of the case would be what shouldve happened the night of the accident and that Mack be put down because it may not be their granddaughter next time. Anthony Wilson and the Moorabool Shire Council both declined to comment to The Moorabool News regarding the case. Under the Domestic Animals Act 1994, councils may retain custody of the animal until the outcome of the prosecution is known. The case was adjourned for a further hearing on April 29 at the Ballarat Magistrates Court.

Ms Hennessy said in 2010 the Victorian Government made a $17.7 million election promise to upgrade Ballan station which would include lengthening the platform, building a safe pedestrian crossing and improving train punctuality. She said: Denis Napthine has done next to nothing to improve regional train services and stations, especially here in Ballan.

Having another go
By Jessica Howard Former City of Ballarat councillor, Ben Taylor is set to contest the new seat of Buninyong for the Liberal Party at Novembers State Election. Mr Taylor, who lives in Ballarat East with his wife Christine and their four children, says he was extremely proud and honoured to have been endorsed as the Liberal Candidate for Buninyong. Ive been actively involved in the local community for many years, including Rotary and a term as councillor with the City of Ballarat, he said. Living, working and raising a family in this region is sometimes not easy and we need good people to work on our behalf to make sure this city and its surrounding towns and communities, are given the best opportunities to prosper. Since 2010 my passion has not dwindled and it is even clearer now that we need a change in this electorate to have a local member that is willing to work hard to represent the needs and ambitions of this electorate. Our community needs certainty and a government with a real plan for the future. Local families simply cant afford a return to the waste, mismanagement and budget blowouts that come with Labor Governments. Liberal Member for Western Victoria, Simon Ramsay, has congratulated Mr Taylor. Ben is such a terric candidate given he is local and knows the electorate well. He was successful in moving a signicant margin at the last election, to create what is now a marginal seat. I know Ben will work tirelessly for the electorate and I wish him well, Mr Ramsay said. Mr Taylor said he is looking forward to meeting with local residents over the coming months and speaking to them about how he can help build a better Buninyong region.

Environmental Opinion
the basis of how well these decisions serve the needs of controlling or destroying wild nature. For this week the Victorian governments attack on nature, in its defence of promarket forces, is the case in point. You might have read about the resignation of Victorias Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability, Professor Kate Auty in recent times. Professor Kate Auty had held the ofce of Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability, since 2008. Apparently the independent commissioners main obligation is to produce a major ve-yearly state of the environment report. Her report was published last year and detailed worsening trends in key areas. This is not a good look for the pro-market forces. For these forces to continue attacking nature they need to deny worsening environmental trends. Speaking of her reasons for resigning, Professor Auty said public servants had told her about directions to them that they should refer to climate variability, not climate change. And state government documents she saw included material headed climate variability when it was clearly about the impacts of climate change. As she pointed out, Climate change refers to warming of the planet by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases. Climate variability commonly describes natural uctuations. She went on, The reason for my concerns is that as long as we keep telling people it is about natural variability we allay their desire to act themselves or want their elected representatives to do something about climate change, she said. We need leadership on this issue, we need it now. It is urgent. Professor Auty said, during a meeting with a government minister to discuss a climate change paper she was preparing, the minister asked what can I do if I dont like it. However, whilst pro-market forces are controlling government they cannot, try as hard as they might, control all people. Professor Auty said despite the government indifference, she had seen a surge of public interest in climate change and the environment as she travelled around the state for meetings.
