Crisis for CBD plans By ANTHONY RADFORD and ANNIKA SMETHURST THE City of Greater Bendigo council’s major CBD projects have been dealt two serious blows. Former mayor David Jones has labelled the new Hargreaves Mall a disgrace and a lemon, and the Bendigo Traders’ Association has dropped its support of the multimillion dollar Walk Bendigo project. Mr Jones criticised the previous council for not listening to residents and redeveloping the mall, and for bowing to pressure from CBD property owners. “The state government wisely guessed it would be a lemon,” he said. “I urge the current councillors not to blindly throw more money at the mall.” The BTA has dropped its support for Walk Bendigo, claiming it is no benefit to the CBD. “Has Walk Bendigo worked? I don’t think it has,” BTA president Neil Athorn said. “There is a large amount of concern about the style of parking.”

the money pit

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO Health is expecting to spend more than $200 million on maintaining its existing hospital while it waits for a new one to be built. That figure comes on top of the revised redevelopment costs, put at more than $700 million. The revelations come as more details about Bendigo Health’s state budget submission come to light. Bendigo Health is expected to only receive about $3 million in the May budget towards the redevelopment of the hospital.

Hospital fix will swallow cash

That is believed to cover the costs of a detailed feasibility study on the Anne Caudle proposal, and answer some Department of Human Services questions about rebuilding on the existing Arnold Street site. Overall, Bendigo Health has asked for about $30 million on top of its operational budget for next financial year, most of which will go to maintaining the existing hospital. Top of the list is the ur-

116 days to go gent upgrade of the hospital’s fire safety systems, which have been described as substandard. The maintenance work is

also believed to include urgent plumbing and air conditioning repairs and upgrades, as some staff and patients swelter through summer without any cooling. One hospital source said the figure was expected to remain at $30 million each year until the new hospital was built. Bendigo Health’s hospital redevelopment business case puts that at 2016, almost eight years away. The May budget is also

tipped to deliver some more funding for the hospital’s new emergency department upgrade, on top of the $9.5 million already delivered. That money will go towards equipment and facilities for the extra beds. It is unsure whether or not any of that money will be used for improved ambulance access. n Continued Page 15

Liberal urges state government to reveal development detail

Lovell pushes for open hospital plan By ANTHONY RADFORD VICTORIAN Liberal Party member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell has urged the state government to make public Bendigo Health’s plan to build a new hospital. The Bendigo Weekly revealed last week Bendigo Health had recommended the Anne Caudle Centre as its preferred site for a new hospital. The recommendation came as the organisation handed over its business case for a redevelop-

ment to the Department of Human Services as part of the budget process. Ms Lovell said the public had the right to know the details. “The government should release the business case,” she said. “They should release the report so the public has an opportunity to see what has been proposed for Bendigo. “It is an important decision that will affect the delivery of health in Bendigo over the next 50 years and people need to be

informed.” Ms Lovell said the process needed to be transparent. “The government should not be afraid of what the public has to say about it,” she said. “The people of Bendigo have been very patient and have put up with facilities for too long that are not at the same level of quality as other areas of the state. “This is an important decision and I think the people of Bendigo need to be fully informed about it.”

THE Salvation Army has thanked the Bendigo community for reaching out to the region’s struggling farming families. Operation Living Waters drought support co-ordinator Peta Pittaway said the community’s support of the Bendigo Weekly’s Army of Angels Appeal was overwhelming. “It was very, very successful,” she said. “People’s generosity was amazing. “We got so many different things, from bird feeders to children’s stuff to very practical things for everyone.” Captain Pittaway was part of a group of Salvos and volunteers who distributed the goods to families in towns north of Bendigo. “When we turned up at places there were people lined up around the corner,” she said. “We had a lot of people at Wedderburn, which was frightening. “There were quite a few people there who hadn’t used our services before. “There was a lot of teary and grateful people.” Capt Pittaway said the communities were also overwhelmed with the support of the Bendigonians. “We have had a few letters of thanks and a few kids have made up cards and sent them in,” she said. “I want to thanks the community for all their efforts and those who volunteered their time by dropping stuff in, helping us out on site and making Christmas memorable for those families who needed a helping hand.”

Financial experts predict city should miss the worst effects of downturn

Bendigo set to ride the storm By ANTHONY RADFORD BENDIGO is in a good position to withstand any major effects of the global financial crisis, according to the city’s experts. City of Greater Bendigo council City Futures director Stan Liacos said Bendigo’s diverse labour market and recent decade of growth have given it a buffer against the world’s economic woes. “We are coming off a pretty strong high over the past five to 10 years,” he said. “So, to some effect, some kind of local economy correction was probably inevitable.” Mr Liacos said he didn’t expect to see any flow-on effects from the financial crisis in Bendigo for at least a year. “I don’t see anything more than a modest slowdown for the next 18 months,” he said.

We are coming off a pretty strong high “At the moment we don’t have any clear and obvious signs, but some element of a slowdown is inevitable because of the ripple effect in national businesses such as mining, the automotive sector and banking generally.” Mr Liacos said the current signs were positive. “Our residential and building growth is reasonably strong,” he said. “While there has been a few job losses we know of a few instances and areas where a few hundred jobs can be created “Access to finance has meant a few projects that have been discussed with us in recent times have probably been put on hold and that will have clear implications down the track.” Mr Liacos said the council could play an important role in boosting the local economy. “Locally, where the private sector might be slowing down over the next year or two, I would expect the public sector will step in and take over any gap,” he said. “All three levels of the public sector have signalled they will step in to stablise the economy. “The best thing we can do is to continue to follow through on our strong $40 million capital works budget.” Mr Liacos said it was important to continue to promote Bendigo’s strengths in being able to combat the downturn. “It is important we, both the government and private sectors in Bendigo, remain as optimistic as possible.” “One thing we shouldn’t do is talk ourselves down because the reality is we are in competition with other parts of Victoria and Australia and we are in a pretty good position.”

IT doesn’t happen too often, but The Eternal Vase has come up smelling of roses. The Bath Lane business was crowned the inaugural winner of the Bendigo Traders Association and Bendigo Weekly Most Festive Business competition. The business won a 42inch LCD television after hundreds of voters judged its shop window as the most festive in the CBD. Statewide Sewing Superstore in High Street finished second, winning a Weekly advertising package. Rick Simms won the voters prize, picking up a $200 meal voucher at a CBD restaurant of his choice. Eternal Vase owner Miranda Burgoine was excited to win the competition. “My husband and I were thinking about buying a new TV and I joked with him saying I might win one for him.”

“I am a florist by trade and wanted to do something with flowers. “There are 15 florists in Bendigo, so we thought we needed to do something a little different. “We love Bendigo. We are really enjoying it.”

Traders’ association enthused by renewed interest

Friday, January 9, 2009 – Bendigo Weekly

Bus interchange plan back on council table By ANTHONY RADFORD THE Bendigo Traders’ Association has welcomed high-level support for its bus interchange and car park proposal. Last week the Bendigo Weekly reported City of Greater Bendigo mayor Kevin Gibbins reigniting the plan to build the facility on the corner of Bath Lane and Edwards Street. The BTA first unveiled the plan in April last year, but it was rejected by the former council. BTA president Neil Athorn said it was pleasing to see it being considered again. “It is good to see the mayor and council prepared to put things back on the table,” he said. “We are 100 per cent behind the new

council, and we need to sit down and work through a few things in a meaningful discussion. “We have a lot of things to talk about.” Mr Athorn said the proposal ticked all the needs and wants boxes of the traders and the community, “It takes the buses away from the fronts of the shops, but still allows people to come into the CBD,” he said. “Retail is always dependent on line of sight and putting buses in front of shops hinders that. “If a bus interchange is built in a neutral site it still allows for people to move up and down the street. “It also stops the congestion on the footpaths and on the main shopping strip in Bendigo.”

Mr Athorn said the building had the potential to be a standout in the city, in the vein of the Bendigo Bank. “This could be a standout on the environmental side of things,” he said. “Bendigo could be the first city in Australia to have a green bus stop and car park.” The plan includes building over Bendigo Creek between the Bendigo Bank and Short Street, and takes into account the heritage-listed former Beaurepaires site. Under the plan, a bus interchange would be built at the ground level of a multi-storey car park, which would also provide secure bicycle parking. A boardwalk would be built between the bank and the car park, bringing McDonalds and High Street into the CBD.

Hot and dry days predicted for year By ANNIKA SMETHURST Bendigo’s weather for 2008 was hotter and drier than average according to annual statistics. Both the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature were higher than last year making 2008 especially warm. The hotter conditions were part of a nationwide trend which saw an overall temperature increase. The past decade was the hottest on record with temperatures up 0.37 degrees across Australia. Bendigo received 80 per cent of average rainfall in 2008 with 385.5mm, making it the third driest year of the past decade. The Department of Sustainability and Environment believe the dry conditions will continue, predicting Bendigo’s rainfall will eventually meet the conditions of Charlton, in northern Victoria The years 2009 and 2010 by 2070. In Victoria, it should be drier years was the ninth-driest year on record, with low rainfall continuing to hamper much of the state. Dr Andrew Watkins of the Bureau of Meteorology CLOUDS BUT NO RAIN: Bull Street, Bendigo. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN. said the current conditions

reflected a transition to La Nina. “We have conditions which are approaching La Nina status which is the opposite of El Nino,” Dr Watkins said. “Typically during La Nina years we get average, to wetter-than-average conditions across eastern Australia. “We don’t have a La Nina quite yet, but conditions are favourable at present.” Local amateur forecaster Kevin Long disagreed, suggesting the Bureau of Meterology was trying to “lift morale”. “We are very unlikely to get any months of above average rainfall for the first quarter of this year,” he said. “The years 2009 and 2010 should be drier years, with approximately 300mm to 350mm.” Mr Long believes the latter half of this year could see a return to El Nino weather conditions which were generally drier. ”The last three La Nina years, 2000, 2003, 2007 have all failed to deliver the above average yearly totals that we had come to expect and rely on in past years.”

CBD in the firing line

Numbers up as Facebook fans fume By ANNIKA SMETHURST

ROCKY ROAD: The mall has not found favour with many residents.

Anger towards the Hargreaves Mall redevelopment has intensified this week on social-networking site Facebook. Last week The Bendigo Weekly revealed a group called ‘Who hates the new Bendigo Mall’ was established as a protest against the $5.5 facelift. Since the story was published group membership has swelled five-fold to more than 700 members. Two prominent Bendigo residents, local-trader Martin Ruffell and former-Mayor David Jones have joined the group in protest against the redevelopment. The “mall monstrosity” as it has been branded was compared with an airport landing strip, one of many comments critical of the development. “It’s grey, drab and ugly! Not to mention unsafe with the uneven and slippery surface,” said one member. Criticism was again aimed at the City of Greater Bendigo council, with a call for the new councillors to improve the design. One local trader commented that the design has been extremely unpopular among customers. “The drainage is inadequate,

the paving is already filthy, the small, uneven paving at each end is a lawsuit-in-waiting. The trees are not going to grow beyond the tubs they are planted in, the overall design is too modern and doesn’t fit with our city’s heritage.” Group creator Ross Miles said he was thrilled Bendigo citizens were speaking out against the new mall. “I’m very surprised about the response,” he said. “I originally thought the group would only get 50 or so people, but then bang. It now has over 700. It just shows how well the Bendigo community can band together.” Despite the group’s popularity, Mr Miles believes it won’t affect Bendigo’s council. “Getting a point to the City of Greater Bendigo council is like paddling upstream, soon enough you will get tired and give up,” he said. “There is not much else that can be done except hate it. I do think it would be wise of the new council to consider an open forum about the mall, where people can suggest how we can make it a little more bearable.”

Walk Bendigo steps out By ANTHONY RADFORD THE Bendigo Trader’s Association has withdrawn its support of the controversial Walk Bendigo project. Criticism of Walk Bendigo and its 90-degree car parks was muted over the past year because the BTA supported the proposal. However, BTA president Neil Athorn said after living with it for a number of months traders believed it was taking people away from, rather than attracting them to, the CBD. “Has Walk Bendigo worked? I don’t think it has,” he said. “There is a large amount of concern about the style of parking. “It is a concern to us when you have people who want to come to the CBD and are not coming because of the car parking. “We need to address that before it goes any further.” Mr Athorn said the council and the traders had differing views about attracting people to the CBD. “I want 40 per cent more traffic

in the CBD and the council wants to reduce it by 40 per cent,” he said. “I want more traffic because they see specials on windows and things that are happening in the CBD. “You need to draw people in, not keep them away.” Mr Athorn said Walk Bendigo would reduce traffic in the CBD and there were no car parking alternatives.

of favour “We want the car parking fixed up, the mall completed and then we can look at Walk Bendigo,” he said. “The former council had things the wrong way around. “You can’t Walk Bendigo if you have nowhere to park your car.” Mr Athorn said the traders had a chance to see Walk Bendigo in action and didn’t like what they saw. “The number of people concerned about the parking is the real worry,” he said. “Someone told me the other day the RSL forecourt looks great, but it was a shame nobody used it. We have lost car parks there and there used to be shady spots to sit and watch the world go by. “They were supposed to spend $20 million on Walk Bendigo over the next few years and I reckon they have spent $5 million so far. “I don’t want to see $15 million more spent on Walk Bendigo Victorian Planning Minister Justin Madden launched Walk Bendigo in October, 2007.

FORMER City of Greater Bendigo mayor David Jones has labelled the new Hargreaves Mall redevelopment a disgrace and revealed he campaigned strongly against the project. Speaking to the Bendigo Weekly, Mr Jones criticised the former council, which he was mayor of for two years, for ignoring the concerns of residents and bowing to pressure from CBD property owners. “Bendigo residents developed a warmth towards the former mall, it had a charm and it was built for the area,” he said. “The only reason the project continued, despite the concerns of residents, was due to huge amounts of pressure from property owners within the CBD.” The former mayor this week joined the facebook group ‘Who hates the new Bendigo Mall’, leaving a scathing comment about the mult-million dollar project. “I am proud to say that I was opposed to this disgrace for a whole range of reasons,” he said. “They (the traders) were initially meant to contribute but the big end of town has this habit of expecting the ratepayers to pay for their works while average people have to pay for their footpaths.” Mr Jones said he was surprised the redevelopment continued after the state government withdrew funding in 2006. “The state government wisely guessed it would be a lemon,” he said.

“These amounts of money are significant, and I urge the current councillors not to blindly throw more money at the mall.” “I voted against the budget purely because of mall expenditure.” In his three-pronged attack, Mr Jones also accused the council and the Bendigo Traders’ Association of focusing their attention too much on CBD projects “The mall is a further expression of the CBD traders’ attitude in opposition to the Marketplace,” he said. “The Marketplace is the biggest ratepayer in town and they have provided over 1000 car parks to the city, but they are treated unfairly. “The council has always had the idea that the CBD is more important than other areas of Bendigo.” The former mayor also called on BTA president Neil Athorn to comeclean. “The Bendigo Traders’ Association no longer has a united voice,” he said. “People like Neil Athorn wear too many hats, I call on him to publicise all his interests.” Mr Athorn said he was surprised the former mayor had spoken out against the redevelopment. “He never came out at the time and said he was against it,” Mr Athorn said. “The mall has to be a drawcard. It has to be an icon for Bendigo. “David Jones is saying we should pay for it. Traders have already paid for it. They were charged extra rates to pay for the multi-storey car park and the original mall, so we have already paid for it.”

Vintage Volkswagens make special day a real head-turner for couple

Bride not bugged by Beetles The bride had no interest in the cars at first, but she came around to the idea

By STEVE KENDALL WHILE Volkswagen Beetles would not be every bride’s wedding car of choice there is no denying they drew special attention to a bridal party on Saturday. When Amanda Taylor and Cameron Abley were married last weekend, the bride and her four attendants were driven to St Therese’s Catholic Church in Kennington in old-fashioned style. Afterwards, the wedding party cruised in the Beetles to some of Bendigo’s scenic sights for pictures. Cameron’s family is involved in the Bendigo Volksclub and was given no option but to use Beetles for the wedding. Cameron used his father Chris’ 1964 model. Also part of the wedding were 1954 and 1956 oval-windowed Beetles owned by club member Jason Hall and a 1965 owned by another club member Mark Krapp from Melbourne. Chris Abley said the four

black Beetles were a real head-turner on the day. “We really created a lot of interest,” he said. “The groomsmen and the bridesmaids had a bit of fun too. “The bride had no interest in the cars at first, but she came around to the idea.” The Bendigo Volksclub is open to anyone interested in Volkswagens both old and new.

Rowan Street home set to top price list By ANNIKA SMETHURST With a record price-tag of $1.1million, one of Bendigo’s most exclusive properties is up for sale. The Rowan Street property is expected to set a new residential price high for Bendigo. This split level residence is the dream of Rob and Glenda Grieve who are relocating to Coffs Harbour to be closer to their children. After 34 years in Bendigo the couple said it will be difficult to leave. “I love this house,” Mrs Grieve said. “It was where I wanted to spend my last days, but priorities change.” The magnificent home was Rob and Glenda’s dream and involved many years of planning. “The design was very personal, we put our heart and soul into it,” Mr Grieve said. “There are so many special little things about this house, we really did our research, I consider it my legacy to Bendigo.” Designed by local architect Michael McEvoy, the home was built using 70,000 bricks and contains four large bedrooms, three bathrooms and an extensive wine cellar. Builders worked seven days a week for 15 months to finish the

“Limited Time Only”

Many available for immediate delivery Large range of colours available 40-square home which includes 14 matching lead-lights, exterior bronze fittings and Belgian roofing. A 100-year-old oak tree provides a cooling canopy to the property and acts as the centrepiece to the living room. The house is filled with personalised decoration and ornate fittings including an ornate kitchen floor which the owners describe as a work of art. After careful research the couple chose the name Belgravia for their home. “In the 1870s the area at the top of Rowan Street was known as Bel-

gravia after the expensive suburb in London,” Mr Grieve said. “There were lots of British miners at the bottom of the hill who would look up to this area, and that is how it got its name.” “We did some research and decided it was fitting for the house, bringing an historical element to it,” he said. Agent Craig Tweed from Tweed Sutherland First National believes the sale offers a unique chance for those in the search of a home. “When one of these properties hits the market it is definitely a oneoff opportunity.”

Letters to editor

Mayor seems to have common sense After reading the article by Kevin Gibbins on page seven of last week’s Weekly I am thankful that at last we have a mayor who seems to have a lot of common sense instead of airy-fairy ideas on what is best for Bendigo. I have always wondered why the Beaurepaires site wasn’t considered as a bus interchange. I certainly agree that a car park/ bus interchange would be ideally situated in the Bath Lane area. K.A. Ritchie, Golden Square.

325gl has been stolen. NSW and Queensland have included the compensation clause in their legislation. Truth must prevail, you can’t stoop this low and ruin hardworking farmers’ lives. Bruce and Alison Bassed, Colbinabbin.

No will to deliver funding as promised The Prime Minister offered beguiling platitudes for our city and cut a ribbon for the Bendigo Bank but he did not come armed with his cheque book. If the Prime Minister was utterly serious about meeting his socalled GP superclinic promise, he would have arrived in Bendigo to also hand over a cheque for $3million to make up the shortfall in the promise made more than a year ago. Because since then, our community has heard that the price tag for the GP superclinic has been almost halved to $5million, there are delays in the plans despite glossy pictures being released earlier in the year and the clinic, if ever completed, will now be built over several stages. The Prime Minister’s comments about the clinic only confirmed again what many are now thinking, that in the election campaign we were sold a dud on plans for the superclinic. It is obvious it was just an idea with no details, no firm commitments from other partners and certainly no will from Mr Rudd and Steve Gibbons to deliver the full amount in funding as was promised to other communities. Frank Jones, Bendigo.

weeklypoll THIS WEEK’S POLL QUESTION:

Should the Walk Bendigo scheme be stopped in its tracks? www.bendigoweekly.com Last week’s poll question

Has limited shading stopped you from shopping in Hargreaves mall

Bendigo should not be stuck in the past This is the first time I have ever written to a newspaper to express my opinion and I am in my 50s. I feel I need to do so now as I want to see Bendigo progress and expand in the 21st century. I totally agree with Frank Roach’s letter in the Weekly on January 2. Bendigo must be allowed to become the progressive city that it deserves to be and not stuck back in the past trying to stay a totally historical city. There is room for the new with the old in this city. The best example of this is the new Bendigo Bank building which everyone with a view to the future would have to agree is magnificent. As far as the new hospital goes we have to stop trying to keep an old facade for the building, please build a totally new hospital in a new position which will allow ex-

pansion in the future. Frank’s suggestion of the current airport is an excellent idea. As he said this would allow the city to build a new airport to allow visitors to fly straight into Bendigo and so increase revenue and jobs for our children in the future. To the same end we need to build world-class facilities for these visitors. This means five-star hotels in the CBD and approval of the proposal of an international golf course, country club and hotel near Big Hill. I hope all the new councillors and progressive residents of Bendigo will all have a voice to achieve the best outcome possible for the future of Bendigo Sherril Male, Quarry Hill.

Has the long dry spell cooked the brains? Oh my, a new hospital will probably be built behind the Anne Caudle Centre. Isn’t there one large flat area in Greater Bendigo where there would be sufficient parking and easy access? Has the long dry spell cooked Bendigo brains? We managed to avoid the unfortunate tram around the lake scheme but have spent more than $5m to close the Hargreaves Mall for more than a year when all the CBD needed was parking and toilets. We have softened water restrictions with no more water storage here than before the drought. People had adjusted to Stage Four, why change now? Now we propose to build a hospital on a crowded hill we already walk long distances to access. Send in the clowns. It is so sad we need a reason to laugh. Helen Annand, Specimen Hill.

Reasoning wrong on case of the cascades I am writing to question the reasoning of the council after reading the article ‘Outlook dry for historic Lansell Cascades’ (Bendigo Weekly, January 2). I can understand the Bendigo council wants to do their part in water conservation by not using the cascades due to the fountain

not being quite waterproof and having too much water loss in its mechanism. However, what I cannot understand in the council’s reasoning is the other use of water around Bendigo. As a resident of Strathdale, I drive to work at 6.30am along Reservoir Road every morning and notice the sprinklers in use on any day, rain or shine on the Strathdale Park, soccer oval and cricket pitch, often resulting in flooding of the oval. Likewise, collecting water from the Kennington Reservoir to be used for watering the council gardens around the city resulting in the loss of the natural habitat for fish and birdlife at the reservoir. This stuns myself and my family. My kids love fishing there, but for how much longer? Shouldn’t we try and save the natural habitats by reducing the amount of water removed from the lake? We could also reduce the amount of recycled water used on the sporting ovals. Could this water then be used elsewhere? In regard to using fountains, can the council explain the difference between the use of water in the cascades and the new art fountain in the Hargreaves Mall? Doesn’t it use more water or lose more in evaporation? I look forward to hearing from other concerned residents and hopefully receive a reponse from the council regarding this matter. Jeff Uwland, Strathdale.

Friday, January 9, 2009 – Bendigo Weekly

Time to bite the bullet on hospital ALMOST one year ago to the day a water pipe burst under the Bendigo hospital’s Stanistreet House building on Arnold Street, filling the basement with more than two metres of water. Damage was said to be minimal, with disruptions to electricity and air conditioning. Some of those disruptions continue today. That is just one example of the substandard facilities that exist for staff and patients at the hospital. The Bendigo Weekly revealed today Bendigo Health will ask for about $30 million worth of funding for maintenance works and emergency department upgrades in May’s state budget. The hospital’s fire systems are reportedly not up to scratch and a lot of work is needed on air conditioning. That amount of money is expected to be repeated every year for at least the next seven, while the community continues its long wait for a better facility. What is scary is the best-case scenario for the city is all the new maintenance and facility upgrades will be demolished within eight years, when, fingers crossed, a new hospital is ready to be moved into. It is because of this, and the talk at some levels of government for the need to stretch the redevelopment funding over as long a time as possible, that a new hospital may

Bendigo Weekly

Editorial Comment be built on the site of the current one. Or worse still, only a simple construction of two new wings to replace the two worst areas of the hospital – oncology and maternity. That is believed to have been discussed at some levels and seen as a political solution to the community’s push for action. Anything other than a complete redevelopment of the hospital in as short a time as possible on the best site possible will not be accepted by the Bendigo community. While money for a detailed feasibility study is expected to be the only redevelopment handout from the government in its May budget, that doesn’t stop it from making a commitment to the plan. The government can, and some argue should have already, make a big announcement that it supports the redevelopment at the Anne Caudle Centre and will use the feasability study to work out how to do it, how much it will cost and how to fund it. That is the best outcome for the community.

A greenfields site, such as Chum Street or the former Bendigo Psychiatric Centre will add immense cost, although it could allow for an earlier completion date. A redevelopment on the existing hospital site, or the tacking on yet again of a couple of new buildings, is a political solution only and one that will not augur well for the government as it heads to the 2010 election. The Bendigo hospital is turning into a money pit, like an old car that continually needs fixing. Sooner or later you have to bite the bullet and admit it makes more sense to buy a new one. While Bendigonians continue their long wait to see a much-needed new hospital built, the old one is continually chewing up tax payers’ money. Processes have been swept aside in Melbourne to build new hospitals, and that needs to happen in Bendigo’s case This state government has been good for Bendigo. It listened to the community when it cried out for help to solve its water crisis and has helped fund a number of significant local projects and developments in its decade in government. However, the hospital is a deal breaker. A political solution simply to keep people quiet in the lead up to the 2010 and 2014 elections will not be accepted by this newspaper and this community.

Posted by Amanda1955 from Eaglehawk. I do not like the new mall because it is dull and unappealing and no shade. Mr Jones, saw your post of the Facebook site, excuse me, but you were part of the council at the time this project went ahead. No use crying over split milk now.

now about the mall? I am sure that this was not the only project you voted against? Why did you not make a song and dance at the time like you are now? What about all the other projects the other councillors did not like and you approved, are they jumping up down like you, no, why, because they know how democracy works.

The community should have got a much better result for much less money – just take a walk around down there and ask yourself where the nearly six million dollars was spent – a large part on consultants to tell us the bleeding obvious no doubt! Again why did Mr Jones not allow my 2005 motion on reducing the use of consultants to even be debated? The seeds of this botched project were very much in the inability of the former councillors to exercise good governance over the council officers as this whole mess was created by the obsession with building a “European” style mall – Hello – Bendigo is not the same as Europe. We should have created our own design that highlighted Bendigo and would have been a feature that attracted tourists.

and his green cohorts mismanaged the council for four years and made a complete mess of this major project that was long overdue and because he sneakily puts his hand up against it at the last minute he now claims he was opposed to it all along. Why did he support in the council press release on May 7, 2008 and in the three council budgets of 2006, 2007 and 2008 where the mall was the major funding project? Further why did he not support the efforts of now mayor Kevin Gibbins and myself to improve the project – instead using his numbers on council to gag public debate and gut public question time to avoid scrutiny. Why did he support the keeping secret of key details like the appalling “sculpture” design until the last minute?

Weekly photographs show impressive weather conditions over Victoria

Hot and dry days ahead n From Page 7 Mr Long believes the current dry conditions are a result of increasing atmospheric pollution in the seas north of Papua New Guinea, he calls this the Chinese Effect. “The greatest impact of the Chinese Effect is a reduction of overall rain intensity and rain totals during the La Nina years by approximately 150mm per year, across most catchments,” he said. “The overall effect can be clearly seen in the average inflows to the Murray Darling Basin as a whole. “But especially in the Campaspe System.” Globally 2008 was the tenth driest year on record, and the 15th driest year in Australia.

Lake Eppalock the venue for movies under the stars

Open-air cinema is back for the summer By ANNIKA SMETHURST

Luhrmann’s epic, Australia which screened to a large audience on Friday. Manager, Daryl Evans said he hopes the cinema proves popular this summer. “We have been open a week and already we have had larger-than-expected crowds,” he said. “We have some great films this season including Madagascar Escape-2-Africa, Quantum of Solace

Central Victoria’s only open-air cinema is back at Lake Eppalock Holiday Park this summer. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the open-air cinema with audiences flocking to see the latest Hollywood blockbusters. Running from January 2 to January 25 audiences can see some of the season’s best films, including Baz

and High School Musical 3.” After heavy summer rains last year, Mr Evans welcomed the drier conditions and hopes audiences come out and enjoy this year’s best films. Screenings are on Friday and Saturday nights during the school holidays (also Sunday, January 25). Gates open at 8pm, screenings begin at 9pm. Please bring your own chair.

GRAND VIEW: Club members and residents at the Golden Oaks Nursing Home.

Bikers stars of the big screen THE Central Victoria Chapter of the American Motorcycle Club Australia has generously donated an LCD television to the residents of Bendigo Health’s Golden Oaks Nursing Home, bought with funds raised throughout the year. The social motorcycle club is based in Bendigo and its members enjoy a shared passion in Harley Davidson motorcycles. They encourage the entire family to take part in their rides, often accompanying them in cars.

Refurb a money pit n From Page 1 The lack of money for capital works in the May budget should not stop the state government commiting to future funding for the plan, something Bendigo Health is urgently seeking. It is believed at some levels of government the size of the redevelopment and the money required is causing cold feet. Box Hill hospital has already completed the feasibility study on its $1.2 billion redevelopment proposal, and is expected to gain the bulk of the capital works funding in the May health budget. There are also fears the state government’s new cancer Action Plan, which includes a Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Parkville, will take funds away from both projects.

Golden Oaks Nursing Home manager Steve Parris said residents met the new TV with great approval. “Our residents are very appreciative of the new high quality television, which has been wall mounted making it much easier for residents to view” he said Golden Oaks Nursing Home is one of Bendigo Health’s aged care homes and cares for residents in unit accommodation. It caters for patients who are

able to care for themselves but may at times need assistance from clinical staff. There is also facility for residents who require full time care. CVAMC president Phil White said his group was proud to help the nursing home. “We would also like to thank Danny Clapp and the team at the Good Guys for their assistance with our donation to Bendigo Health’s Golden Oaks Nursing Home,” he said.

Photographer’s family gathers BENDIGO Weekly historian James Lerk will be one of the guest speakers at a special family reunion in the city this weekend. About 50 descendants of Francis Bartlett, founder of Bartlett Bros Photographers, will meet from today until Sunday. One of the highlights of the reunion will be the presentation to the Bendigo Art Gallery of the original Bartlett Bros camera. Bartlett Bros was a famous photographic business established in the late 1880s, in what is now the Subway building in Williamson Street. The business provided high-quality portrait photographs to Bendigo for about 60 years. A reunion dinner will be held at The Shamrock, where the Bartlett Bros of Bendigo book will be launched. City of Greater Bendigo councillor Rod Fyffe will also unveil a plaque on the Bartlett Bros building documenting the story of the business and the family. Family members are coming from across Australia and the United Kingdom. n PRIZED: The Bartlett Bros camera.

“I love it how everyone sticks to the edges where the shade is, and the centre (runway) portion of the mall is like this barren concrete desert. They obviously paid someone heaps for this design.” “Does anyone else think it looks like a grave yard, with a few head stones here and there. FAIL.”

“Having grown up in Bendigo and moved to Albury/Wodonga in 2000, I came back only two weeks ago for a visit. When I saw the mall I thought it was still a construction site and they were going to put something worthwhile in there! I wasn’t even sure whether I could drive up there or not - given all the re-diversions and one way streets around the CBD. I ended up chasing my tail for about 10 minutes trying to drive from one

Gathering for fun and games By Alan Besley The 148th Maryborough Highland Gathering at Princes Park attracted participants from around Australia. Clan MacLeod from Bendigo were just one of the many highland bands in town for the street parade and appearances on the main arena throughout the day with several thousand spectators watching all the action.

It was by far the biggest attendance at this traditional New Year’s Day gathering in recent years and among the activities were the highland dancing, sheaf tossing, highland games and the spectacular caber tossing. Maryborough’s social event of the year has become the oldest continuous highland gathering in Australia. HIGH FLY: Tossing the caber.

Bendigo Painting words It may have caused tension, taught patience and demanded compromise, but what started as a class assignment finished with a glowing testament to local writing talent with the recent launch of Painted Words 4. One of the book’s contributors ERIN BOURKE tells the story

I think the writing in Painted Words is wide scope, exuberant and fearless

endigo Regional Institute of TAFE’s Professional Writing and Editing course is becoming an essential platform for up- and-coming writers in central Victoria, It has helped guide the careers of many well known local authors. These include John Holton, Pam Harvey and Justin D’Arth. Now the PWE class of 2008 aspires to the same literary achievements as their forebears. They are certainly on their way with the publication of an anthology of fiction, poems and creative nonfiction, collected in Painted Words 4. Displaying diversity in genres, Painted Words 4 is a collaborative effort, written and edited as a labour of love by all students of the PWE course. It was then designed and produced by those undertaking the Diploma as part of their Project Management class. The overall project gave the students a chance to put to good use the lessons they have learnt throughout the year and allowed them to gain hands-on experience in the publishing industry. Local writer and course coordinator Dr Ian Irvine said members of the Diploma level Project Management class managed the project from beginning to end. “They have learnt a great deal about the value of planning in the writing and editing world,” he said “They’ve also modelled ... some of the stresses that inevitably accompany editing and publishing other people’s work.” After calling for submissions to be considered for the book, the diploma students then went about the nerveracking task of accepting or rejecting the stories of their peers. Budding writer and PWE diploma student Steev Cowled said he, “found the hardest part was dealing with the psychological side of it all.” Having conquered the hurdle of what was in or out, the stories were sent onto the PWE editing class to ensure editorial perfection, before finally sending the finished product off to the printers. That left only the launch party to plan. The Bendigo Schweppes Centre played host to the launch with John Charalambous, local author of such books as Furies and Silent Parts, figuratively cutting the red ribbon on the book and delivering a spirited speech. “I think the writing in Painted Words is wide scope, exuberant and fearless,” he said. n Continued Page 25

our camp to this place, which we did, and one day we got a pound and a half of the precious metal, making 10/- each man for the day, and on another day we made 20/- each, and in eight weeks we made £143 – 3s – 6d each man. (Approximately 41 ounces each man, at today’s gold price valued at about $51,250.) We sent the gold overland by the police escort to Adelaide and consigned to Mr. E A Wright, brother of E W W.; he is a gold agent. The market price for gold in Adelaide is £3 – 10s – 9d per ounce but when it is put through the Assay Office it will realize from £3 – 12s. to £3 – 15s. There is now a million of money in Australia the proceeds of the diggings. The last escort brought 39,000 ounces (1105 kilograms) of gold from Mount Alexander (Castlemaine – Chewton) and Bendigo Creek diggings. The gold is generally found in gulleys [sic], which is a flat between the hills; and the principal indications of gold is the ground being covered with quartz rock, which is white; and the formation of the hills also have to be studied. The trees are iron bark and stringy bark, and some box, also a small wattle… the soil is a sort of yellow clay very hard and dry, and sometimes it will take a man a week to get a hole 10 feet (3.04 metres) deep and then is likely to be disappointed. Dorling’s letter is from material held in the Huntly Heritage Centre. For more information contact Esma Turner 5448 8237.

ast week I started with a letter written by W Dorling to his family in England in 1852, after having spent some months with a party from South Australia on the Bendigo diggings. We have seen his journey to Melbourne, and the subsequent start to the Bendigo Creek, his party had just passed Mount Macedon having taken three days to travel that distance. Spelling, grammar and punctuation have been left the way Dorling had recorded it. On May 9, 1852 Dorling went on: This day we passed through a beautiful tract of country. We passed through a small village (Kyneton) we made 23 miles, and camped very near the Mount Alexander range of hills. 10th We travelled through a very rough country, thickly wooded; we made 24 miles and camped near the Porcupine Inn. 11th at 10am after traveling 10 miles, we arrived at the most wonderful place in the world – the Bendigo gold diggings 110 miles from Melbourne. We camped in Long Gulley [sic]. Now for an evening view of the diggings, the first appearance of which is a rather singular sight the fires opposite each other present themselves for miles, and the sound of guns and pistols firing from each party every night for two hours like a field of battle. The first appearance

of the diggings reminded me of an extensive fair in England, being thousands of men and hundreds of tents, but a close inspection of the gold mine presented a scene more awful – like so many open graves of different dimensions and depths, varying from 4 (1.21m) to 20 feet (6.1m) There are stores at all parts of the diggings, where you can get almost anything required, but at a very high

Sunday, January 11

verything about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is long including its title. This is an epic of more than two and three quarter hours that is good but too long. Director David Fincher has indulged himself at the audience’s expense in translating F Scott Fitzgerald‘s 1921 short story to the screen. There seems no logical reason why Fincher had to draw out the interesting story into such an elongated project. The result of Fincher’s error is loss of momentum and audience interest. Every one of my party of four drifted and had to re-focus. The film is good enough to force reentry but if the director and editors Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall had been more disciplined, then the ‘doze’ factor would not have entered the equation. The clue is in F Scott Fitzgerald’s original piece – it was a SHORT story! Instead, the film version of Curious Case ends up being a Forrest Gumpstyled American epic than spans a good part of the last century. As “life is like a box of chocolates” was an enduring line from Forrest Gump, “I was born under unusual circumstances” will become The Curious Case’s often-quoted movie sentence.

book review – By jacqueline perryman

“E

veryone is part of History, and every place has a story as old as the earth . . . .” The quotation above is an excerpt from the well-known Australian children’s book My Place (Wheatley and Rawlins). As a piece of literature My Place is embedded in the telling of story and the human need to ‘belong’. It is a book of historical reflection, and the emotive journey of one home across many life-times. In 2008 My Place celebrates 20 special years in print – and the volume’s most recent issue is marked for the occasion.

cd review – By steve kendall Artist: The Zillions Title: Play! Zeuxis: Xight? Zeen Genre: Alternative Label: Inertia

N a music world flooded with formula pop it is good to hear something original. Nick Craft provides just that, and a varied mix too. The Zillions is just Nick working on a solo project following his work as the founder of Sidewinder with his brother. Jangled and tangled, not your run of the mill CD. There are lush and strangely bent guitar sounds with glorious melodic turns. Now and again he talks of love. Worth more than a passing listen. For full reviews go to www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Fruity outlook for kiwis Gardening. I can take it or leave it. But there appears to be many mysteries of life hidden in among the green bits...

OZ is proudly green-fingered and has written many a word about happy times in the

dirt. To me the garden is a chore. Just ask the long-suffering Mrs Kendall, who scoots about on the ride-on inwardly and outwardly cursing my attitude. She’s not much kinder as she hauls around the push mower cutting down the errant blades of grass the ride-on can’t catch Mind you, she loves getting out there with Round-Up and the whipper snipper. Says a lot about her if you ask me. Chopping and hacking and poisoning things which get in her way. Better watch my back – and my tea. I love watching her ripping up weeds in a big hat, gloves and 30+, from the shade of course. Celtic-origin skin is best-not revealed to all of those harmful rays. Madam seems blessed with a muddy eastern-european tone after a few minutes under the rays. Anyway, gardening. It seems such a waste of time, the stuff always seems to grow back. Mind you, I’m not the only one who watches. Mrs Kendall and I observed the neigbour fell a tree with the help of a friend recently. I asked if she picked up the tricks of cutting down a tree in case she ever needed to do it. She was cooly swooning

and admitted that while I was watching the chop and wedge technique, she was watching the rippling, taut body of the axeman. I couldn’t possibly relate the story of the shearers. But it does involve chardonnay and an audience. But, back to the matter in hand. The reason I’m straying into garden world is kiwifruit trees. Lord and master Editor Radford mentioned he was

shopping for a kiwifruit tree and had to buy two. One male, one female. Now I think someone’s pulling a fast one here. It’s a great money-making scheme at the garden centre. “Here comes another mug, let’s try the ‘they need two’ plan”. Whatever happened to the birds and the bees? Surely our stripy, honeyed friends of the garden could do the deed?

Apparently not. It’s Mr and Mrs Kiwifruit or no fruitlets. But will two be enough? What if in the rough and tumble of the nursery one of the trees comes out? Gay trees. Where would that leave the future of the tasty little hairy morsel? How many would you need to buy to ensure fruit? It’s impossible to be sure.

There will need to be a whole new job at the nursery. Tree sexer. Not so much sexer as decider perhaps. Maybe the ones which sway when Kylie’s on the radio would be a first test. She is an icon after all. Whatever, I’m none the wiser and think it’s a lot of effort to go to to ensure a good crop. A trip to the supermarket seems a whole lot easier to me.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19): At the beginning of the year you could be evaluating a relationship. If it is a good one, there will be a celebratory occasion by the middle of March. If not, you may move on to greener pastures. In March through May your general attention will be on property, family, and security needs. Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

You have been absorbed with travel, education, and perhaps grandchildren or in-laws for the past 18 months. For the next year and a half, many of your hours will be absorbed with organising financial matters, correcting your will, and claiming what is owed to you. It is probable that you will benefit through the resources of others during that period. You may be the recipient of an inheritance or other gifts.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21): The year begins with considerable social activity. You may know what you want to do, but your partner and significant others are tap dancing and cannot find clarity. These important people are likely to be fuzzy minded all year, so you will have to be on your toes. The times of particular stress occur in Feb.

Travel made during the 1st quarter will be to previously visited locations. March is socially and romantically active. Throughout the year it is time to give serious attention to investments and joint property. Study the subject of investing. A time of especially good fortune concerning property and shared resources occurs in April.

Now is the time to redefine yourself and your life direction. Let the past go. Keep only what and who is truly important to you. Between now and the 3rd quarter of the year, the main project is to blend what is at your core and unchangeable with what is nontraditional for you.

You are moving into a long period in which education and development of skills becomes intensely important in your life. This does not have to be formal. You may be learning the practice of big business. Travel, whether of the spirit or of the body, will be a prominent feature throughout the year.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): Your career output is slowing. This is due to stressors of several years on your psyche from overwork. You may be sliding into a less visible role. This is a time to reduce debt. You may need to sell property to lighten your load and to prepare for the coming phase of life. You could be redecorating or arranging your home to adapt to business needs.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21): Every few years the Scorpio has a desire to discard the past and start fresh again. This is the “phoenix” quality of the sign, discarding feathers and starting anew. The probability is strong that you are thinking seriously about a drastic change in your life. Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): You are now emerging as a stronger, wiser human being. You are by nature a teacher and you need to find a venue to share that skill. Your mindset is over-optimistic, but in the right direction. In Feb. you will encounter those who can help. The period from March through to winter will require effort.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):

You are surely already aware of a fear/hope/desire for big change. If you are not planning to create one for yourself, it will be built around you during the next couple of years. You are likely to take on the mantle of more power. Give attention to your attitude, specifically arrogance.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): One side of you is devoted to maintaining the status quo and following the rules. Another side of you is the rebel deluxe, the one who always colors outside the lines. You probably feel much more comfortable in one mode or the other. Whichever way is your norm, through ‘09 and much of ‘10, you will encounter your opposite. Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

Jupiter, your ruling planet, will be in the territory of friendships throughout the year. You will be accessing your former and present community contacts in a purposeful way. Give particular attention to the new person(s) that cross your path in mid-Feb and again in the April-May period. These are times that you will encounter Teachers.

Feature story

Word on the street n From Page 21 “It’s great to see writers experimenting and having the confidence to create new narratives out of their own unique perceptions of the world. “Having a quality anthology come out of Bendigo each year is a bonus for every writer in central Victoria. “It’s a forum for our work, a focus for our growing writing community, tangible proof that a creative culture exists close to home.” Readings from the book by some of the authors added colour to the night. Cameron Nolan divulged some inner thoughts that perhaps should have stayed hidden, with his humorous flash fiction piece about a man’s love for his reflection. Quiet participant of the course Colin Carrington also treated guests to a rousing performance of his short story about a blind date gone astray. These stories showcased just the tip of the talent involved in the book.

ANTHOLOGY: Erin Bourke.

Starting in 2005 with the help of seed funding from BRIT, Painted Words has grown each year with this year’s anthology including, for the first time, external poets. Each year the proceeds from the sale of the book return to BRIT’s fund to help ensure Painted Words can be produced for years to come. All copies of the book have sold. With the continuing support of the PWE course, many graduates have continued on to become journalists in daily newspapers, they have won literary awards and government writing grants and some have even started their own freelance writing business. “Despite being quite a small PWE course in comparison to our urban cousins, Bendigo’s PWE graduates have recently appeared in over thirty of the English speaking world’s major literary publications,” Dr Irvine said. For many local writers who have participated in the course it has given them confidence, organisation and direction for

their future goals. “A course like PWE is vital,” diploma student Graeme Murray said. “You get a better understanding of what it takes. “It’s more than just imagination. Technique is involved.” Fellow diploma student Cameron Nolan agrees. “It helps to set people up who otherwise would have trouble getting into the writing industry,” he said. Many of the current Diploma students wish to set a challenge for prospective writers in central Victoria. Join the course and strive to make Painted Words even more successful for years to come. You won’t be disappointed.

It’s a forum for our work, a focus for our growing writing community

ocated at the top of a quiet court in Kennington, this solid, brick-veneer residence has been home to one family since it was built. Proudly maintained, it is warm and inviting and presents the opportunity to purchase a genuinely low-maintenance home in a great position in a very sought after suburb. A long verandah stretches across the front of the home, providing an ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee or after work refreshment, and the view from here takes in the entire court and beyond. The main lounge features a wall of windows, and so plenty of natural light is able to penetrate the main living areas. Two double glass sliding doors can be closed to fully enclose the lounge, assisting with heating and cooling. There are two gas heaters and four air conditioning units thoughtfully positioned throughout the home. Nine

facilities, and the CBD, and featuring contemporary, quality light fittings, floor and window coverings, this stunning home cannot fail to impress the discerning buyer seeking a sleek, modern home with nothing more needed doing, offering the opportunity to move straight in – literally as the current owners have only recently moved to another home. Features of this immaculate home comprise of four spacious double bedrooms, three with fitted robes and the master suite including a walk-in robe and the biggest ensuite that I have come across with a shower, corner bath and separate toilet, and a large formal living space and open-plan family/ dining room, overlooked by a beautifully modern kitchen incorporating all

stainless steel appliances. Also adding to the appeal is a theatre room with projection television included and a separate study, offering an exquisite home that provides a versatile living space suitable to any family’s needs. Amongst the professionally landscaped allotment that literally requires no mowing whatsoever is a great paved alfresco entertaining area with custom built seating areas adjacent to the family space, and is positioned amongst the low maintenance, fully fenced and secure yard, featuring the added benefit of gated admission to the rear. And with all this and considerably more to offer, and a convenient location, this is a home that leaves a lasting impression. Georgia Scutt

highly prized part of the region, level building sites and close proximity to the centre of Bendigo all add up to the perfect place to construct the home of your dreams. Only about ten minutes drive from the CBD, and much less to schools as well as sporting facilities, this address is as good as it gets. Measuring approx. five acres, the allotment has phone and power directly available. A two mega-litre water rite keeps the dam filled and provides for future landscaping, along with the irrigation of wind breaks. Fully fenced, the land has a gentle slope towards the rear. Bitumen road frontage is yet another advantage this site has over its peers. Situated in a very small court, a National Park is only around 100 metres away, promoting a healthy lifestyle through the pursuit of a range of recreational activities. A school bus route is even closer to the property.

Easy to find, McCalman Court comes directly off the Sedgwick/Sutton Grange Road - an area renowned for its beauty and for its local wineries. This idyllic property will delight discerning buyers who wish to escape the confines of the city but keep its conveniences. Cath Milburn

Dual occupancy, inner city

his period home with some original features has been altered to create two separate dwellings. While in need of some work, both dwellings are currently tenanted, and its location, within walking distance to Lake Weeroona and the CBD, indicates that there’s sure to be ongoing interest from renters. Vacant possession is available. Apartment one has two good-size bedrooms, one with a built-in wardrobe. The ornate ceiling in this bedroom is a charming original feature and in good condition. The hallway leads to the open-plan kitchen,

meals and living area. The bathroom is separate and includes a pedestal vanity and shower over the tub. Apartment two is a one-bedroom (double) abode with an open-plan lounge, kitchen and meals area. There’s a gas wallheater in the lounge and gas cooking in the kitchen. The combined laundry and bathroom includes a shower and basin. This apartment has off-street parking which is accessed from Tomlin Street, where there’s a single garage. There’s plenty of potential on offer here and this package would suit

investors, renovators or perhaps those looking for a business site, subject to council approval. The way that the existing property is positioned leaves a good portion of the 583-squaremetre block free, making subdivision a possibility, again subject to council approval.

Ron Nicholson will install and tune your TV, VCR and DVD. He travels anywhere in the Bendigo Weekly distribution area and he is a local owner/operator, in business for the past two and a half years. “If you have noticed something funny with your old channel seven or ABC, then Ron has the answer. “You need an upgrade. Your options are either to upgrade your aerial, throw away your old TV set or I can fit and supply a piece of equipment for about $155 that will fix the problem,” said Ron. If you have succumbed to the pressure of purchasing a new digital, wide screen, flat screen plasma TV, and canʼt see much difference, then you need Ronʼs services too. “Most times the new sets arenʼt programmed correctly. If the faces on your new TV are squashed or distorted then it certainly needs a looking at or even a tweak,” Ron added. If you have a mixture of remote controls and feel as though you could drive a jumbo jet with a few more lessons, Ron advises, “With digital, you have another remote, so I explain it so that thereʼs no more confusion and no more trying to work out which remote does what.” Home theatre is becoming more and more important to families, as they set aside a certain room in their home for this purpose. Ron can fit and supply the cables, tune and set the surround sound and have all the components working beautifully. For all things television call Ron on 0431 609 423 or 5447 7823.

James Sherlock of Sherlock Soil Works has many powerful earth moving machines. He says no matter how big or small the job, he will be able to do it for you. “Recently, I was preparing driveways for a customer. We had to dig, level and prepare the drive for the asphalt when it arrived. It looked fabulous when they ﬁnished it. “A lot of my work too is getting water tank pads ready and digging the trenches that they need to run the water pipes to the house and back. “With limited rains and the water restrictions, people are really busy getting ready to catch the water. We never know what is around the corner, so it is best to be prepared,” said James. Sherlock Soil Workʼs equipment includes excavator, post hole digger, bobcat, dingo digger, 10 metre tipper, trench digger, four in one buckets and laser levelling. They have the implements that come in very handy for most jobs. “We complete work for landscapers and householders alike, and are happy to prepare for the do it yourself handyman or woman. “We can also remove rubbish, clean up after a tree has fallen and carry out general excavation,” added James. Contact James at Sherlock Soil Works on 0407 472 775.

Rising star Brady scores important victory Brady Threlfall has scored his biggest win on the professional running circuit when he scored an emphatic victory in the Open 1600 metres at the Maryborough Highland Gathering on New Year’s Day. The 21 year old rising star of the local athletics scene ran strongly from the 100 metre mark in the four-lap event and he made his winning move down the back straight for the last time. ‘’The pace was on from the outset,” he said. “I stayed on the shoulder of Bendigo’s Tim McCullagh for the first half of the race and then I just increased the pace over the concluding stages. “It was great to win in front of my family and friends and I think dad had a few bob on me as well.’’ The talented middle-distance runner will now focus on the upcoming Bendigo carnival in March and then the distance events at the Stawell Gift meeting over Easter.

Robrick A handy distance galloper with recent wins at Pakenham and Moonee Valley who finished a nice second on New Year’s Day at Flemington behind the improving Good Red. The five year old from the Robbie Lang stable is super fit and be sure to watch out for him next start in a long distance event in town. Count To Zero The Robbie Griffiths-trained seven year old by Danzero ran a nice first up placing at Flemington behind the smart Rok Posta. Will strip fitter from that run so watch out when he is produced over a mile in the near future.

STAR TURN: Anne Yates with her galloper Jennings.

Bendigo hobby trainer Anne Yates notched up her fourth win in Melbourne when her promising galloper Jennings scored at Caulfield last Saturday. The win by Jennings in the $60,000 New Year Country Plate came after a second placing at Kerang on Boxing Day. The local trainer was supremely confident of a bold showing when she loaded up Jennings for the float trip to Melbourne last weekend. “He was not suited by the slow pace at Kerang as there was only a five horse field and it was just a sprint home,” she said. “Everything went according to plan at Caulfield and it was a good win.

“Our jockey Billy Egan is a promising apprentice and he has now won on him twice and we will continue to use him at the major meetings to ensure a weight advantage. “I have now had two wins in town with Jennings and before that I had two wins with a galloper named Biscany so it is always a great thrill,’’ she said. The hobby trainer spends most of her busy day as a Group Credit Manager for a local media company and she is already planning another trip south with Jennings on Saturday, January 17. There is a race over 1600 metres and then three weeks later her star galloper will go over 1800 metres at Caulfield.

Age no barrier to a win South Australian distance runner Gary Zeuner had a satisfying moment when he won the Veterans 1600 metre race in great style on New Year’s Day. The 55 year old has been making the trek to the Princes Park in Maryborough for the past 15 years. He ran from the 215 metre mark and spent most of the journey chasing down his wife Cheryl who led for much of the race after starting out from the limit mark of 380 metres. “It is great to come over here and win in front of such a big crowd,” he said. “It is one of my most satisfying wins since turning professional back in 1988. “But I won’t be sitting back as I want to compete for a few more years yet,’’ He said. Zeuner grew up in a great era of the sport in South Australia and he won the Australian 3000 metre steeplechase crown in Brisbane in 1982. In that particular race he defeated Victorian star Peter Larkins who is now best known for his radio and television work in assessing football injuries at AFL matches around the nation.

CROSSING A LINE: Gary Zeuner pushed through the tape a winner on the first day of the year.

Bendigo club downs Sandhurst to claim memorial cup

Twenty20 cricket a big hit n Bendigo Cricket Club is the region’s most successful Twenty20 team after downing Sandhurst by 15 runs to claim the Ron Slattery Memorial Cup. The two clubs have had some great battles since they first established the powerpacked format at the Queen Elizabeth Oval five years ago with Bendigo having notched up three cup victories in that time. After winning the toss and batting first Bendigo were seven for 131 and in reply Sandhurst struggled through the middle order and were held to seven wickets for 116. The match continued a great tradition by these two clubs who had the foresight five years ago to establish the unique format in this city.

HARD HIT: Sandhurst’s man of the match Mathew Pask hits a long ball with Bendigo’s keeper Jayden McArthur looking on. Photo: andrew leed

Countdown is on n The countdown is on

to the start of the 2009 football season. The NAB Cup is now just 30 days away with the opening match to feature West Coast and Collingwood at Subiaco. Victorian fans will have to wait until February 20 for the first home game with Carlton playing North Melbourne at Telstra Dome. As sides are eliminated they head out in to the regional areas for the pre season challenge matches but Bendigo is not on the radar for a game this year.

In top form n Bendigo

pacer Bold Cruiser is in scintillating form this season. After a cup win at Kilmore the Glenn Douglas-trained seven year old ventured south to claim the Tasmania Cup and then last Saturday night Daryl Douglas steered Bold Cruiser to victory in the $50,000 Group Two Moonee Valley Cup. Next on the agenda for Bold Cruiser is the Hunter Cup on Saturday, February 7 at Moonee Valley.

n Junior sport participants can now source financial assistance in their quest to participate in state and national competitions. Through the generous sponsorship of prominent Bendigo accounting firm AFS and Associates we urge sporting personnel in need of financial help to represent this city in their chosen sport to apply for these monthly grants. Simply send the details of your upcoming sports event and details of your local club and coach to bezzo@bendigoweekly.com.au

Roos swoop n Bendigo

Champ returns n Olympic diving champion Chantelle Newbery is back in Bendigo tonight to officially open the first synchronised dryland diving facility in regional Australia. It has been established at the Bendigo Regional YMCA and the new training facility will enable divers to practice all year round without the need to enter the water. Chantelle will also conduct a diving clinic tomorrow at the Bendigo Aquatic Centre.

Grants money

Golfers on tour n An estimated 500 golfers have taken to the golf courses of Thailand this week as part of the 2009 edition of the Asian Tour Qualifying School. Several Victorian players including Andrew Martin and Heath Reed are there for the action where the top 40 qualifiers will earn their tour card in Asia which this season alone will offer more than US$42 million in prizemoney.

Classic days ahead n The countdown is on to the next big sporting event in this city. It is the popular Bendigo Junior Basketball Classic to be held at the Schweppes Centre over the Australia Day holiday weekend. So far more than 220 teams have entered the tournament, now in its 31st year. The line up will be finalised when team lists are submitted on January 16.

Bowls is back n Lawn bowls is back on the agenda with the resumption of the 2008/2009 Bendigo Pennant competition set down for Saturday, January 17. With just five rounds to be completed before the finals action gets under way the top four sides of the competition are Bendigo, Golden Square, Eaglehawk and Kangaroo Flat. In other bowls news Kangaroo Flat bowler Aaron Wilson has successfully represented the Bendigo District

Bowls Association by winning the Group 5 singles title. Aaron will now advance to the state final.

Sprint sensations n THERE

were a couple of sensations during the sprinting action at the Maryborough Gift meet. Bola Lawal was off scratch when he broke in his heat for which he was penalised and he was then placed one metre behind scratch in accordance with the rules of the sport. Then another backmarker Anthony Alozie showed good form in his heat before going down with an injury which will cost him a brief stint on the sidelines. Maybe he will be back just in time for the Bendigo Classic in March.

Date for Bombers n Fans of the Bombers can jot down Friday, January 30 in their diaries. Essendon will be sending all players, coaches and senior officials to all parts of the state in a major promotion to support all of their regional supporters’ groups. It is a great initiative by the Bombers as it will give supporters a chance to attend a clinic and obtain autographs as well as attending a dinner with some of the visiting players.

A long jump n New South Wales long jumper Shaun Fletcher showed his versatility in

sprinting events last week. Firstly, he finished a close second in the Maryborough Gift and then followed it up with a classy win in the Daylesford Gift held at Cricket Willow. The 26 year old will now focus on the national athletics championships to be held in March.

Spirit on court n The festive season is over for the Bendigo Spirit and they hit the court in Canberra tomorrow night for the clash with the young stars from the Australian Institute of Sport. It is a must win for the Spirit who hope to make the play offs in the WNBL.

League Football Club Kangaroo Flat has boosted its playing stocks over the festive season with the signings of Swan Hill premiership player Grant Ford and two time Mt Pleasant premiership coach Cam Carter. Coach Daryl Wilson said the club is keen to boost its midfield stocks and they have also secured Tyson Findlay from Sandhurst and Shannon Geary from the Bombers as well as Tooleybuc Manangatang premiership player Joe Davies. The Roos resume training this Monday night at Dower Park starting at 6pm

Debris on the road can be more than just an eyesore

Keeping our roads cycling safe YOU may remember a national campaign about keeping Australia beautiful, urging us not to spread our rubbish around. It may well be worth revisiting this thought. As cyclists we are at risk from debris and rubbish that finds its way on to the road verge. The obvious problem is the broken glass that will pierce a tyre and tube very quickly. Bricks and large articles are a problem if struck by a cyclist. They are likely to make the front wheel come out from under the rider and the rider will end up on the road. The not so obvious risks are the motorists who place themselves and others at risk. This happens when they drive around with unroadworthy tyres with the steel belts startDodging and weaving around roadside ing to protrude through the rubdebris makes using the road dangerous ber.

The rear tyre was flatted through the canvas into the tube. Fortunately the rider was able to keep the bike upright despite all this happening. The steel had to be cut out in pieces to get the rear wheel free. While this is an unusual occurrence and not something one would think could happen, it did. Another aspect of debris

around potholes and glass and the like. While the cyclists are very aware of their own safety in the group by pointing out such hazards and safely traversing around them, the following driver can find it quite daunting. It is prudent for motorists to allow the minimum distance of at least one metre. There may be a need to take evasive action if trying to drive closer to cyclists who need to deviate due to debris. Cyclists can also add to keeping Australia beautiful, in particular the magnificent parks and road reserves we often frequent, by making sure that all items of food wrapping and the like are brought home to be disposed of. The same goes for punctured tubes. They are not to be left in frustration on the side of the road. For the amount of cyclists using the roads there is little evidence of this, but if you do see a tube that has been inadvertently dropped please consider picking it up so cyclists are seen as responsible community members. The motto of “if you dropped it pick it up” or “if you took it into a park bring it back out” is sound advice in keeping our part of Australia beautiful. See you on the road soon, God willing.

British bikers head for the Madison

stars clash > inside

The grand rivalry of sporting clashes between Australia and England is set to be reignited at this year’s Bendigo International Madison. Australian young guns and defending champions Glenn O’Shea and Leigh Howard will go head to head with Great Britain track stars Peter Kennaugh and Rob Hayles and the showdown is creating enormous interest in sporting circles. The British duo are two of the best credentialed riders to contest the Bendigo Madison in recent years. Peter Kennaugh is already a British Madison champion and firmly focused on winning this year’s world championship while Rob Hayles is a former world champion in the event.

report by
