100 years on
The symbol must be the most recognised
worldwide, a white background with a red
cross that signifies help is at hand in time of
war, famine or disaster. An organisation that
is still surviving today, 100 years strong.
The Ballan organisation of Red Cross is also
a strong survivor, with family history dating
back to the beginning.

Unflappable Matt
wins bronze
BACCHUS Marsh bowler
Matt Flapper has won the
bronze medal in a closely
contested match against
India at the Commonwealth
Games in Glasgow.
With all the advantage of
a home crowd, Scotland
narrowly beat Australia in
the mens fours bowling
semi-finals 15 to 10 to send
our team, skippered by
Flapper, into a bronze medal
showdown against India.
With memories of a narrow
16 13 defeat by Wales in the
mens triples bronze medal
clash, Flapper and his team
held their nerve against
India to win a nailbiter and
claim a medal in lawn bowls
highest competition.
After two ends Australia
had yet to score with India on
four. After 11 ends Australia
was still trailing India 9
14, but it was the final four
ends that had spectators and
players on the edge of their
seats. Australia held India
scoreless at ends 12, 13 and
14, but still trailed 13 14
going into the final end.
With the ultimate stakes
a Commonwealth Games
bronze medal up for
grabs, Flapper remained
unflappable and Australia
stepped up and defeated
a brave India to win by the
narrowest of margins, 15
14.

Jackie Chan the Ram and
objected to a planning application by the rams owner
for an access road from Love
Close to Parwan Road.
Bruce Bullock said his fear
was if the permit was granted for the new road, would
permit conditions be met?
I dont see how we can
keep on condoning this
person and bending to his
whims. At some point council has to bite the bullet and
say this is enough.
Jail
time to
double
Planning on leaving a child
in the car for just a moment
whilst you run in and get
something from the shop?
Well, think again as the penalty is about to double for
leaving a child unattended
in a car.
Last week the State government announced parents/
guardians who leave a child
unattended would now face
double the jail time, now
up to six months, with fines
increased from $2,214 to
$3,690.
Minister for Children and
Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell said despite a No Exceptions No Excuses awareness campaign
with Kidsafe Victoria earlier
this year, a significant number of parents still leave their
children unattended.
This is especially relevant
ahead of months with extreme weather, when leaving

Its just
not cricket
A PUSH to bring cricket
back to the Racecourse
Recreation Reserve in Bacchus Marsh has angered
the reserves committee of
management.
Racecourse Reserve committee member Anne Wilson said Council wanted to
re-open a cricket pitch on
the reserve next to the Pony
Club.
Whats the point of holding junior cricket matches
there when theres no shade,
no shed, no toilet and no
changeroom? Ms Wilson
said.
The cricket pitch is overgrown with serrated tussock, has a cement surface
unsuitable for players and
hasnt been used in seven
years.
She said Moorabool Shire
CEO Rob Croxford had sent
a letter to the committee of
management at the end of
July demanding that they
remove temporary fencing
across the sportsground
within ten days or else wear
the costs of council remov-
