toe the line Councillors push to scrap Walk Bendigo

THE future of the controversial Walk Bendigo project looks set to come down to a battle between City of Greater Bendigo staff and councillors. The Bendigo Weekly understands about six of the nine councillors want the project scrapped, but staff are trying to convince them it is worth saving. The project was discussed at last night’s closed-door council meeting and staff will present the rationale behind it in detail over the next few weeks, to give councillors a “greater understanding”. Councillors have reported

report by

anthony radford opposition to Walk Bendigo as one of the strongest crticisms of the former council during the recent election campaign, along with the Hargreaves Mall redevelopment. Last week the Weekly reported the Bendigo Traders Association had dropped its support of the project. Traders believed the 90-degree car parks and the push to limit the amount of traffic in

the area were detrimental to trade. One councillor said at this stage the project was on shaky ground. “Most believe it is a waste of money. “(Mayor) Kevin (Gibbins) has told the officers to stop any further action on Walk Bendigo until it is discussed further at council.” Cr Gibbins acknowledged Walk Bendigo was a project the current council was reviewing, along with the Hargreaves Mall and the decision to build a multi-storey car park near Target.

“We need to sit down and discuss these three major projects, as a result of community concern,” he said. “These are three major projects the council has highlighted they would like to know more about.” Chief executive officer Craig Niemann said the presentations were high on the council’s agenda. “We will then get directions about where to go from here,” he said. The multi-million dollar Walk Bendigo project aims to turn CBD roads into shared pathways between cars and

pedestrians, slowing down traffic and increasing activity. Only stage one of the project – Hargreaves Street and the Pall Mall Promenade near the RSL Hall and Williamson Street – has been completed. Over the next four years the project is expected to expand into Williamson Street, Bath Lane, King Street, Mitchell Street, Edward Street, Mundy Street and potentially Charing Cross. n Mallcontent continues – Pages 6 and 7 n Editorial – Page 13

FAMILY-OWNED Longlea business, Worlds Best Hoof Oil, has expanded further with an agreement to supply their oil to the Kingdom of Bahrain, Dubai and Oman and several other Middle East countries. After careful sampling and trials over almost 12 months, the first pallet was air freighted and arrived safely last week reports. Worlds Best Hoof Oil had until recently been supplying their product in small orders to the Middle East. The oil is Australia’s best selling hoof oil and also boasts as being the number one in all major catalogues in the USA. The latest agreement brings to 29 countries around the world the company exports to with more than 10,000 stores and catalogues selling the product.

Sunflowers provide playspace A SPECTACULAR glade of twometre high sunflowers designed so children can run among them is proving a popular drawcard at Bendigo’s Botanic Gardens. Students from nearby White Hills and Holy Rosary primary schools planted the 3000 sunflowers in late October. The City of Greater Bendigo council co-ordinated the planting, involving 150 children on two days, along with parents, teachers, council staff and the Friends of the Botanic Gardens. The sunflowers, a blaze of yellow and orange, are just inside the Scott Street entrance to the

gardens and are clearly visible from the street. The blooms have begun to come out and will be in flower throughout January and into February and are already attracting plenty of attention. Epsom Ward councillor Lisa Ruffell said the beds were designed in organic shapes and space had been left for the children to run between them. “Next to the sunflowers is a children’s bluestone maze constructed in November,” she said. “The maze was built from spare bluestone from the City of Greater Bendigo depot and is 15

metres in diameter. “There are also gravel paths running between the stones, which are about a foot high”. Cr Ruffell said like the sunflowers, the maze was a temporary arrangement and would be in place for the next few months. “The aim of the two attractions is to engage children’s interest in the gardens in the hopes that this would remain with them into adulthood,” she said. “The City of Greater Bendigo is currently undertaking a master plan for the restoration and extension of the Botanical Gardens.”

Water Smart call COLIBAN Water needs households to tap into WaterSmart, a voluntary water saving program. Coliban major customer manager Ian Watson said residents in the Flora Hill, Strathdale and Kangaroo Flat areas of Bendigo had been invited by letter to get involved in the program. “We are looking for as many households as possible from these areas to volunteer to participate,” he said. “Participating households receive a water saving kit and lots of information on ways to save water.” More than 100,000 households from across Victoria have been invited to participate in the $6 million WaterSmart program. The Bendigo WaterSmart program is free of charge and will be conducted over 10 months to understand more about household water use habits. Every participating household will be asked to answer some simple questions on their household water use prior to starting the program and will answer the same questions at the end of the program.

Discount cat vouchers Bendigo concession card holder can now save 50 per cent on the cost of having their cat desexed if they obtain a discount voucher from the City of Greater Bendigo.

Mayor Kevin Gibbins said the discount voucher also offered free micro-chipping as part of the same procedure. He said the council in conjunction with the RSPCA, Department of Human Services’ Neighbourhood Renewal Project and participating veterinary practices were offering 120 discount vouchers to concession card holders who own a registered cat. “The discount vouchers are part of the council’s ongoing commitment to encourage responsible pet ownership,” he said. “Cats of any age can be desexed, even as young as eight weeks. The operation is a very straightforward procedure that

causes very minimal discomfort to the animal. “In fact most cats fully recover from the procedure within 24 hours.” The vouchers are available for collection from Monday January 19 from the council’s Lyttleton Terrace and Heathcote offices on a first come, first served basis.

Camp fire danger THE Bendigo Fire District has had four bushfires in just 10 days, and all of them have started from people’s campfires. Department of Sustainability and Environment Fire Manage-

ment Oficer Les Vearing said it was astonishing people were being careless on days of extreme fire danger. “Temperatures are in the mid to high 30s, our forests and grasslands are as dry as tinder, and people are walking away from campfires that are still burning,” he said. “Only the quick actions of DSE and CFA tanker crews have prevented each of those fires from becoming a major bushfire. The fires have been at Koondrook, Newbridge, Clunes and Barkly. “It is illegal to have a campfire on a day of Total Fire Ban, Mr Veering said.

School supports grieving students

MEMORY: In the school chapel.

BENDIGO teenage couple Rachael Zimmer and Luke Arnott will be farewelled with a joint funeral at St Kilian’s Church this morning. The couple were killed last Friday in a car accident near Bairnsdale in Gippsland. Rachael, 16, was preparing to go into Year 12 at Catholic College Bendigo this year. Luke, 19, was a former Bendigo Senior Secondary College student. Friends and family of the pair have written more than 150 moving messages on the school’s website. CCB principal Darren McGregor said students would form a

guard of honour at the funeral. “We pray for Rachael’s family and friends and all in our college community at this difficult time,” he said. “Rachael’s parents Neville and Natalie, her brothers Jackson and Brayden have lost a beautiful daughter and sister.” Mr McGregor urged students to seek help and support with their grief. “As we try to come to terms with the loss of our friend Rachael it is important that we do not try to cope with our feelings alone,” he said. “Friends and family are always a good place to start and I encourage you to talk about how you are feeling to those clos-

TWENTY-ONE preschool aged children will miss out on kindergarten positions in 2009 with 62 children remaining on the waiting list after first-round offers. Loddon Mallee Preschool Association enrollment officer Jenny McWilliam said some children would have to wait until 2010. “There are 62 children on the waiting list who have nowhere to go to kinder in 2009,” Mrs McWilliams said. “Some children will have to go to school in 2010, so they will have to make arrangements. “The birthdays of these children range from January 2004 to April 2005, 41 of the 62 children will be eligible to go to school in 2010 but that leaves 21 children without places.” Legally children are required to attend school by their sixth birthday.

Mrs McWilliam believes children who do not attend preschool miss out on a valuable opportunity. “Preschools and playgroups often have programs for older children, but basically teachers can tell the children who did not attend

some form of pre-school before they started primary education”. Preschool committee member Kerry Ellis said parents should consider looking outside their initial preference “Havilah Road Preschool still has 15 spots available,” she said. “Our kindergarten offers a play-based learning program based on the individual interests and strengths of each child, and we have lots of exciting activities and equipment to stimulate children.” “Our preschool is also one of the most affordable, and free for eligible Health Care Card Holder.” The Loddon Mallee Preschool Association currently administer enrollments for 19 preschool centres in the Bendigo region. A City of Greater Bendigo council review undertaken in 2008 highlighted the need for preschool facilities especially in high-growth areas such as Strathfieldsaye, Huntly, Epsom and Heathcote.

Pioneer the main focus

INSIDE STORY: Mal Nolan has written about the life and enterprising times of a Bendigo pioneer. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN.

CityFinance

A NEW book charting the productive life of Bendigo pioneer Henry Backhaus has just been published. Dr Backhaus arrived in Bendigo in 1852 and was the first Catholic priest to live here. In the following years he became one of its best known, if at times contoversial citizens. Dr Backhaus died a very wealthy man in 1882 and left his large property holding to trustees to administer on a continuing basis. Author Mal Nolan first became interested in the subject while involved in producing a booklet about the centenary of the Sacred Heart Cathedral in 2002. The cathedral was built entirely with funds from Dr Backhaus’ estate. “After the booklet I continued researching Dr Backhaus,” Dr Nolan said. “It’s quite an intresting story.” “I’ve put the emphasis on the facts and their sources.” The Enterprising Life of Dr Henry Backhaus is available from Collins Booksellers, Mitchell Street, for $25.

THE poor state of Bendigo’s Law Courts is preventing state government legislation being adhered to properly, according to a leading local lawyer. Garry Quinn of law firm Hillier Quinn is the latest in a string of legal professionals to speak out against the unsuitability of the main court house. Welfare groups, Victoria’s chief magistrate, lawyers and a Bendigo police prosecutor have all made calls to improve the law courts. The Bendigo Weekly revealed late last year a plan to modernise the city’s law courts was being considered for the state government’s May budget. The plan includs building a new facility behind the existing law courts and using both for hearings.

clude a court room suitable for Children’s Court matters, both Family and Criminal divisions,” he said. “The Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 requires proceedings in the Children’s Court must be conducted in an informal manner. “The grandeur of the present 19th century court building does not promote that aim.” Mr Quinn said most modern courts had such facilities. “For many children the present court complex is intimidating and that is contrary to the philosophy of the Children’s Court,” he said. “The Act also requires children mature enough to give instructions must be legally represented. As far as is practical the solicitor acting for a child must act in accordance with that child’s wishes.

CBD in the firing line

Court falls short n From Page 5 “There is no separate facility available for these conferences in the court complex. “At present they take place in the registrar’s office and if that space is insufficient in the Jury Room. “There are no break-out rooms for the individual parties to discuss, in private, their concerns and instructions with their respective solicitors. “All these physical shortcomings make it more difficult to obtain a result by agreement and that leads to more matters being heard as contested hearings in court.” Mr Quinn said Children’s Court matters needed to be separated from the Magistrate’s Court. “As provided for in the Act it would be preferable to hold the Children’s Court proceedings in a separate building to the Magistrates’ Court,” he said. “That happens in Melbourne but I accept that it is not practicable in regional areas. “What is practicable is for the redeveloped Court complex to include a court room designed specifically to accommodate Children’s’ Court matters. “Such a court room would obviously also be available for Magistrates’ Court matters on non Children’s Court days.” Have you had a bad experience at Bendigo’s Law Courts?

NEXT week’s City of Greater Bendigo council’s meeting looks like being a popular event with representatives of the “Who hates the new Bendigo mall” Facebook group planning to attend. The mall redevelopment has continued to attract criticism from the Bendigo community with group membership soaring above 2000 this week. Group creator Ross Miles has invited members to attend the council meeting in an effort to further publicise their criticism for the $5.5 million project. Mr Miles said he hoped the council would listen to the concerns of residents. “We want to ensure that the council is aware of the people’s reaction to the mall and Walk Bendigo projects,” he said.

“Also we want to find out if they are are going to listen to the public and act accordingly.” Mr Miles said the group had been a positive way to gauge public opinion. “The best thing about the group is that people have been able to express concern and throw out ideas as to how we can improve the mall situation,” he said. “The general feeling I am getting is they (members) are disgusted that the mall cost over $5.5 million dollars. “This upgrade to the mall has fallen way short of what $5.5 million dollars should have provided.” This week’s soaring temperatures have sparked further debate with many members still critical of the lack of shade in the mall, despite new umbrellas providing some protection from the elements.

Four new groups have surfaced on social-networking site Facebook in response to the Bendigo mall redevelopment. A group called “The new Bendigo mall is totally awesome” now has seven members and is one of two groups to come out in support of the Hargreaves Mall. A statement from the group describes the mall as “cool and modern” and blames the lack of patrons on poor quality businesses and an economic downturn. In an twist, another group was formed this week called “I trip up on the McArthurs hump in Bendigo mall”. The group was formed in response to an uneven section of paving on the southeastern side of the mall.

Under-fire council says give mall time THE City of Greater Bendigo council has defended its Hargreaves Mall redevelopment with one clear message – give it time. Mayor Kevin Gibbins, chief executive officer Craig Niemann, Presentation and Assets director Jos Duivenvoorden and architect Robert Toon briefed media this week in an attempt to quell the mass of criticism about the project. The quartet acknowledged it would be up to eight years before the trees grew enough to allow for a solution to the shade concerns, but said the final fit out was still not finished. The giant screens that

will house public toilets and artistic images of the city are hoped to be delivered and installed by Easter, with the controversial sculpture-cum-play space still a while off. “We are asking for patience. As a landscape project it will take time to develop,” Mr Niemann said. “It is about understanding what the project will deliver in the long term. “We are confident the long-term outcome will be a good one.” Mr Niemann said the public message of discontent about the mall was getting through. “We are obviously hearing about the heat and the glare particular-

yet,” he said. “The mall will take a while to come to fruition. “We need to complete this project and get on with the next one.” Mr Toon defended the mall’s design. “What has been miss-

ing is an appreciation of where the design principles come from,” he said. “We are trying to achieve something Bendigo can be proud of rather than all the flak it is getting.” Mr Toon said the longterm outcome would be a great benefit to the city. “I am confident this will be one of the best public spaces in regional Australia,” he said. “Council wants highquality urban public space that is iconic for the CBD of Bendigo. “I really have confidence it will be an exemplary public space.” n To comment on this story go to www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Clarification In last week’s Bendigo Weekly story about former City of Greater Bendigo mayor David Jones’ views on the Hargreaves Mall redevelopment, it was stated the state government withdrew funding for the plan in 2006. The state government did not offer to fund the proposal, it simply rejected the council’s request.

Council parks low-fuel option in favour of gas guzzler

Car change fuels green discussion

By ANTHONY RADFORD THE City of Greater Bendigo council’s environmentally-friendly image has taken a hit, with the dumping of a Toyota Prius as the mayoral car. The car has been replaced with a Holden Calais, which emits more than double the amount of carbon dioxide into the air. In mid 2006 the council announced, with a photo shoot on the front lawns of its Lyttleton Terrace office, it had purchased the red Prius. According to the federal government’s Green Vehicle Guide, the Prius is Australia’s most environmentally-friendly car,

THIRSTY: The red Prius has taken a back seat. emitting only 106 grams of carbon dioxide into the air per kilometre of driving. The six cylinder Calais emits 266, and the eight cylinder version 329. The Prius, with its electric engine, has a

combined fuel economy of 4.4 litres per 100 kilometres. The V6 Calais runs on about 11.2 litres and the V8 13.9 litres. The Prius has an overall rating of 8.5 out of 10, compared to 4.5 (V6) and

three (V8) for the Calais. Council chief executive officer Craig Niemann drives a Holden Statesman as part of his salary package. The Statesman has the worst environmental ranking of the three, with fuel economy of up to 13.9 litres per 100 kilometres and a carbon dioxide emissions rate of up to 330 grams per kilometre. Bendigo’s leading green group criticised the move. Bendigo Sustainability Group president Karen Corr said the change was disappointing. n Continued Page 19

BENDIGO’S Lake Weeroona will play host to Bendigo’s first ever dads’ playgroup. The community group will meet on the third Saturday of each month, beginning at 9.30am tomorrow at the lake’s playground. The playgroup will be run through Centacare and was the brainchild of local father on one, Brad Cullen, a newcomer to Bendigo. “Being a stay-home father and relatively new to Bendigo I realised that there were no dads’ playgroups in Bendigo,” he said. “I think it will be great chance to meet other stay-at-home dads but also meet some new people.” The aim of the playgroup is to acknowledge the important role fathers play in families’ lives and to highlight the positive impact an active, involved father can play in his children’s development. This group aims to connect fathers with others while allowing their partners some relaxation time. The event came about through Centacare’s Men and Family Relationships program Focus on New Fathers. The program offers a range of services including fathers’ ante-natal education sessions. It was from these sessions that a group of new fathers began meeting for dinner throughout 2008.

Bendigo water usage shows only a slight increase

Residents hold back from splashing out By ANTHONY RADFORD BENDIGO residents are using only a fraction more water than at the same time last year, despite being allowed to use 400 per cent more. Stage Three restrictions began on January 1, allowing locals to water for eight hours a week, instead of the two hours under the harsh Stage 4A bans. Bendigonians used 406 megalitres in the first two weeks of 2009, compared to 382 in 2008, a rise of only six per cent. Coliban Water managing director Gavin Hanlon said the water use figures were well within what the corporation had budgeted for. “It was a hotter summer last year and we didn’t have any real rain at all in early January, which

resulted in people using the most water they could under the restrictions,” he said. “This summer it has been cooler and we have had bits and pieces of rain.” The average temperature for the first two weeks of January was 33.6 degrees. Even with this week’s heat, the average for this year is 30.4. “Are these figures the result of people’s choice or climatic conditions, it is hard to tell, unless we get a comparable hot spell for the rest of January,” Mr Hanlon said. “If we had two or three days a week until the end of February like we have had this week then we would expect water use to be at the maximum allowed under Stage Three. “We have budgeted for the

We have budgeted for the maximum, so we are under budget maximum, so we are under budget.” Coliban customers have reacted well to the new restrictions. “We have had about 90 calls so far, and only five complaints,” Mr Hanlon said. “Of those complaints three were about the times and two were about the inconsistencies of water restrictions across the whole northern Victoria. “All the rest of the calls were happy and simply wanted to

Pedigree moon a stellar event

confirm the watering times, so people are happy about it.” Coliban’s Water Plan has an ambitious target of Stage Two restrictions by the end of the year. Mr Hanlon said if Coliban went to Stage Two it would be next year, because enough Goulburn water could not be delivered to Bendigo. “At the moment we can’t go to State Two because we don’t have the capacity between Lake Eppalock and here,” he said. “We are upgrading the pump and duplicating the pipe, as well as looking at our treatment plant, and planning to be finished all that by next year. “Should water be available in the Goulburn system and not in the Coliban system it is highly likely we will do everything we can to go to Stage Two.”

New manager makes drought a focus

Challenge on for new boss PATRICK Jess, the City of Greater Bendigo council’s newly-appointed recreation manager, is uniquely qualified for the post, in more ways than one. Mr Jess took over from Mark Hands, who left to work with a local consulting firm. Mr Jess is a relative of former Tiger AFL legend Jim Jess, and has a great love for central Victoria. His background in both the private and public sectors has prepared him well for the challenge of meeting the community’s recreational aspirations. “I see two main challenges, and the first is obviously the drought,” he said. “The second is to align the community’s current and future needs with council’s provision of recreation opportunities, services and facilities.” Mr Jess said his initial focus would be an analysis of the city’s recreational requirements to create a strategy for the next 10 years. He said the aim of the strategy was to cater for all

I see two main challenges, and the first is obviously the drought

user target groups, including women, the elderly and the young. “There are already major developments under way, like the Epsom Recreation Reserve Regional Soccer facility, and the council has demonstrated its willingness to spend time and energy on capital works to improve existing facilities,” he said. Mr Jess said the drought required careful management, but pointed out Bendigo had suffered its effects longer than most municipalities, providing a wealth of experience to meet its challenges.

Council director of Community Wellbeing Barry Secombe said the city was fortunate to have acquired the services of someone with Mr Jess’ experience and enthusiasm to reinforce Bendigo’s already impressive record in the area of community recreation. Mr Jess had three years as recreation officer at the Mildura Rural City Council before moving to the Port Phillip City Council as community development officer. There he was responsible for the Port Melbourne and South Melbourne foreshores, dealing with a variety of recreational facilities in an area with a high density population. But the lure of the bush drew Mr Jess and his family to Bendigo, where his own sporting prowess as a footballer and cricketer, and his family’s footballing pedigree, will stand him in good stead. Mr Jess, 29, moved to Bendigo with his wife Zhoe, and two children, Elijah, two, and Maya, eight months.

Published by Bendigo Weekly’s sister organisation, The Local Phonebook Company, the 2009 book has been produced using subscriber details from the official national data base. Manager Jason Batey said the Local Phonebook Company was the first company in Australia to gain authorisation to use the national database to produce local directories. He said the authorisation was significant because the database was the most secure and comprehensive list of names, phone numbers and addresses in the country. Distribution of the Bendigo book, with its distinctive green and gold pages, starts today and will take about four weeks to complete. Mr Batey said if any changes needed to be made to residential and free phone numbers and addresses in the green pages, people should contact their own retail telephone company. “We are operating under licence from the Australian Communication and Media Authority and the data supplied to us has to be printed as is, because of the Privacy Act,” he said. “As such, we can’t change it, so if anything needs to be changed, please contact your telephone company, for example, Bendigo Commu-

Letters to editor

Making waves with ...

Cogho, Shaz and Anthony Radford Cog – Here we are for the new year. Happy new year Radders. AR – Happy new year to you and Shaz and all your listeners. Cog – Let’s talk about intersections because our SMS has gone mad on bad intersections around Bendigo. There are a couple of interesting ones that get peoples’ goat. What about VicRoads. What happens? Does there have to be a major accident before something happens? AR – VicRoads has a blackspot funding criteria for trouble roads and that is based on amount of accidents, fatalities, injuries etc, and they also have what they call a greyspot program for those roads not as bad. Looking through the program there doesn’t seem to be any roads in the listening area listed for that funding, so not much is happening there. Cog – It is sad you have to get to the stage where there is a fatality or a serious accident or some kind of reason to fix an intersection. Surely if there were enough letters or complaints something can be done? AR – I think residents campaigning is the way to go. The Bendigo council highlighted a number of problem intersections the local community wanted fixed and they offered to pay for half of the solution if VicRoads would pay for the other half. They did that and they were fixed. Unfortunately it might simply come down to whether or not there is enough money or whether newspaper and radio stations can start campaigns. Cog – That is something we are going to do and we have been thinking of doing it for a while. Shaz – Now we have the SMS and we can get such great feedback so we know what everyone is feeling. We can certainly now push to have things done. Cog – Anthony, what about the Hargreaves Mall. I hear the feedback to your paper and on your website is huge. AR – We haven’t had more responses to an issue in a while, maybe since water. I think the debate about this will be around for a while. Cog – Why is their so much conjecture. Is it because of the amount if passion people have for the CBD? Shaz – The mall has been iconic for a long time and did need to be revamped. They were expecting something wonderful to happen and it hasn’t.

MP Lovell’s call is hypocrisy It is complete hypocrisy for Shepparton based Liberal Wendy Lovell to make any call on the Brumby Government regarding the Bendigo hospital. Labor was the only party at the 2006 state election to commit funds for planning work to be started on a new hospital for Bendigo. The Liberal Party did not put up one dollar, nor one word in support of a new hospital for Bendigo. Ms Lovell should cease her lecturing from Shepparton that is an attempt to cover up her party’s own failure in government and in opposition to support the Bendigo Hospital. Jacinta Allan MP, Member for Bendigo East.

Irrigation claims are incorrect Bruce and Alison Bassed’s claims about reduced savings from irrigation renewal are simply wrong (Bendigo Weekly, January 13). The Basseds wrongly accuse the government of not factoring climate change into the project modelling. The modelling, done by the Department of Sustainability and Environment, is based on average inflow patterns from the past 10 years of drought, in addition to the water-allocation records that irrigators have relied on for the past 100 years. Climate change is not an excuse for inaction. Climate change and drought are the reasons we need to take action now. Even with reduced irrigation diversions due to climate change, losses will still generally range between 700 and 800 billion litres each year. That’s around twice the total amount of water used in Melbourne each year. By improving system efficiency, we are confident we can capture at least 50 to 60 per cent of the losses. From 2011 onwards, water saved will be shared between irrigators, Melbourne and the environment. Melbourne is not stealing or even buying water from northern Victoria. Melbourne will receive 75 billion litres in return for investing $300 million to renovate northern Victoria’s irrigation system. Once the project is completed, Melbourne will receive less than 20 per cent of the savings, with the other 80 per cent shared equally between irrigators and the environment. Put simply, irrigators will get

more water, not less. Victoria faces a future with less rainfall and every drop is precious. An upgraded irrigation system will not only save valuable water, but ensure northern Victoria remains competitive and prosperous in the face of climate change and drought. David Downie, general manager – Office of Water Department of Sustainability and Environment.

I was not aware exmayor was anti mall I was amazed to read in the Weekly last week the former mayor David Jones revelation he “campaigned strongly against” the CBD project. It is interesting he has made this public now as it appears

many were not aware of it, I know I wasn’t. I recall Mr Jones was interviewed on ABC radio a few weeks before the election and when asked to comment on community criticism of the mall development his reply was that he was aware that many would not approve of the new Bendigo mall but that he would “reserve his judgement” until its completion – doesn’t sound like strong opposition to me. The councillors who supported this “lemon”, as described by Mr Jones, have paid the price however the consultants and council officers who put forward and recommended this “disgrace” for the CBD still hold their positions. Hopefully the newly elected council will be stronger, listen to the people, make informed decisions and make up their own minds. Marg Gaskell, White Hills.

Be aware of the facts of the hospital Having recently spent almost 10 weeks as a patient at the Bendigo hospital, I have decided to write a few words expounding the wonders of a grossly-overworked organisation. I have read what I consider to be unnecessary criticism of the hospital and I felt it was time to give my views. In September I was rushed by ambulance to the Bendigo hospital where I spent seven days in intensive care followed by more than eight weeks in the

wonderful surgical ward. Despite the fact the nurses were run off their feet, they did what only nurses can do; gave comfort, the kindest of care and encouragement. There was never a time, morning or night, that I felt neglected. My praise goes not only to the nursing staff, but to doctors, catering staff, security and cleaners. I might also point out that I was not the only recipient of the hospitality at the hospital, my wife and family were also given wonderful treatment by everyone. I have noticed that your publication has shown interest in the future location of the hospital. Figures printed by The Weekly recently regarding linen usage and the drain on emergency services bear out my own findings. I would hope that in the future, before journalists jump to point out minor misgivings at the hospital, they should spend some time speaking to people like myself who are closer to the real hard facts. Ken P Cullen, Kerang.

Eaglehawk writer was on the mark I would just like to congratulate Frank Roache of Eaglehawk on his brilliant letter in the Bendigo Weekly on January 2. I sincerely hope all newlyelected councillors have read it and digested it. Name and address supplied.

Friday, January 16, 2009 – Bendigo Weekly

Walk Bendigo in the balance EVER since Walk Bendigo was revealed as a concept it has been controversial. It immediately divided further two camps – those who believe ratepayers’ money should be spent on practical and useful projects that solve a problem or serve a purpose, and those who believe the city needs to spend money building things that attract tourists, stand out from the rest and are philosophically-based. Common sense prevails that somewhere between the two is the right place to be, but when millions of dollars is to be spent on projects like Walk Bendigo there is nothing sensical about the ensuing debate. On the surface, Walk Bendigo has no obvious, immediate or practical benefits. The roads are still there, although they are a little bumpier than before. The cars are still there, although it is a little more dangerous to park than before. The speed limits are still there, although more people are walking across the road than before. The principles behind Walk Bendigo are rather attractive: Make it harder for cars to come into the CBD and it becomes more suitable for pedestrians. This, in turn, will make it more attractive to shop, relax, have coffee et cetera. However it makes a big assumption. Since the city’s car parking woes reached a crescendo in about 2004, the City of

Bendigo Weekly

Editorial Comment Greater Bendigo council has been talking about convincing Bendigo CBD shoppers and workers to change their habits – to park further out, walk further, maybe even catch a bus – to ease congestion. This hasn’t worked, or at least hasn’t happened. The CBD is just as busy as it has ever been and it is becoming harder and harder to find a park. Late last year the council acknowledged it was easy for people to simply feed meters all day by not voting for free CBD parking in the lead up to Christmas. It was an admission there were not enough parking officers to enforce time limits properly. As this paper has said before, Walk Bendigo is probably a good idea for Europe, where people live closer to each other, there are greater populations so public transport is better and locals don’t need or use cars to get anywhere. In Australia we do. We need to use our cars and park our cars close enough to where we want to go so we don’t have to drag hun-

dreds of dollars worth of shopping from one side of the city to another. Unfortunately, such behaviour will never change. The local traders, through the Bendigo Traders Association, loved Walk Bendigo at the beginning. Now they don’t. They have had time to see how the first stage of it affects their business and they aren’t happy. Sure, like the mall redevelopment, there is an argument around it not being finished yet, but the signs are ominous. Decreased trading, a hatred of the 90-degree parking and the unsuredness of whether people can simply walk out in front of cars adds to a lack of understanding. All of this, however, doesn’t make it a bad idea, something councillors will no doubt look at over the next few weeks. Most of the new councillors made a point during the recent election campaign they would make decisions on what the community wanted, rather than what council staff recommended. They failed the first test – Christmas parking – and now face a bigger one with Walk Bendigo. Most of the new council want it scrapped. They see no benefit to anyone in keeping it. There is serious talk of a motion being introduced at any time calling for its demise. We will wait and see how it all ends.

Posted by Adrian Pilcher from Kennington. When you look at the space left between two cars, parked at 90 degrees, when measured across the road, bumper to bumper, why would you consider taking your shopping to the back of your car, or your kid’s pram or whatever else you need to load? You run the risk of getting hit by cars wanting to squeeze through. NSW does it so much better in some small country towns, parking backwards into the park, whether at 45 or 90 de-

Try to get out of one of the carparks near Blueline Office supplies, by reversing out and see how much traffic snarling happens. At least when you reverse in, the car’s rear overhang is greater, so you lessen the intrusion of the car into the road’s space. Of course it always looks great on paper, doesn’t it?

CAREFUL: The company aims to salvage much of the building.

Building demolished By ANNIKA SMETHURST AN historic building from the 1850s was demolished this week to make way for new offices. The Forest Street building was previously a family-residence and a pentecostal church before hosting the Renovator’s Warehouse. Dean Ashworth from Accurate Demolition said it would take many weeks to clear the site. “We will demolish the building to a certain stage and then we will

work with local archaeologists to complete the job,” he said. “We have only just started the project but we expect to come across some interesting elements.” Mr Ashworth said they hoped to salvage up to 85 per cent of the building. “That’s our main aim, we really try and salvage as much as we can so it isn’t tipped into landfill,” he said. When completed the new building will house accountancy offices.

HIGH TIMES: Workers at roof level.

Fun time fundraiser

Well-being day a chance to relax By ANNIKA SMETHURST BENDIGO residents looking for an enjoyable way to relax after the Christmas chaos are invited to join a Well-being Day to be held in Fosterville on Sunday, January 18. The event is the first of its kind in the area and group organisers hope it will provide the Bendigo community with stress management strategies following this busy time of year Co-ordinator Yvonne Collier said she hopes the event will help satisfy people’s curiosities about

alternative therapies. “After speaking with a number of people locally we identified a high level of interest in natural therapies and stress management,” she said. “Local practitioners got behind the idea and were keen to volunteer their time to this initiative.” Well-being Day will be held at Wellsford Forest Retreat and will feature information sessions, workshops and demonstrations on a range of activities including yoga, tai chi, reflexology and massage.

“In these busy times it’s rare that we take the opportunity to get back to the basics and the first Well-being Day will help make this happen for the people of Bendigo,” Mrs Collier said. The day will begin at 10am with organisers expecting a large turn-out. “Attendees are requested to make a gold-coin donation and make a day of it. “We suggest they bring a picnic lunch and plenty of curiosity.” For more information go to www.wellsfordforestreatreat.com

IF country and western music is your thing, then a fundraiser planned for next weekend will have you boot scootin’ in the aisles. The Bendigo Palliative Care Services Auxiliary will hold a country and western afternoon at the Bendigo RSL on Sunday, January 25.

The event will feature Peter and Evelyn Sheahan and walk up artists. A Devonshire Tea is included in the admission price of $10 for the concert, which runs from 2pm to 6pm. The auxiliary raises money for the Bendigo hospice, community palliative care and Chum House.

Documentaries chart history Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN. More photos at www.bendigophotos.com

BENDIGO’S Golden Dragon Museum will launch two special documentaries into its history next Thursday. Thanks to grants from the state government Public Records Office, documentaries into the history of the museum and the nearby pomelo tree will be launched at the special ceremony. Creating a Community Museum is a 20-minute history of the development and creation of the museum, featuring interviews with those associated with

its early history, current volunteers and performers in the city’s famous lion and firecracker teams. The Story of the Pomelo Tree is a 10-minute lyrical film telling the story of the 100-year old tree planted by Gladys Ah Dore, the mother of museum founder and director Russell Jack. The tree still thrives and feeds dragon Sun Loong before the Easter Festival. The documentary includes footage of the ritual Wong Loong, and information about the fruit.

Both films have used archive material and are produced and directed by Julianne Deeb, a Melbourne-based filmmaker. “I was so interested to learn about the unique Chinese history of Bendigo and to work with the large community of people associated with the Golden Dragon Museum,” she said. “It was also a great experience to work with musicians Faye White and Jane Thompson and to be able to feature the beautiful music of erhu master Mr Shen.”

“A lot of the impact the council would have would not be on the everyday internal practices of people, but on how they can influence the community,” she said. “The council has to be seen as doing the right thing. “In terms of setting an example to everyone else, it is really, really important, even if at the end of the day it doesn’t make a big difference to the overall greenhouse emissions.” Mayor Kevin Gibbins said he preferred a “familysized Australian car” suitable “for travel on country roads” in his North West Plains Ward.

Achieving your goals with Fernwood The new year is often filled with goal setting, but quite often those goals are quickly cast aside. The reason for this, in many cases, is that the goals had no plan behind them to become a reality. The staff at Fernwood Bendigo are experts in helping women achieve their health and fitness goals. “If you were driving interstate you would have a plan in place, an idea about the best way to get there and a realistic idea about how long it would take,” said Club Manager, Linda Hain. “Goals in life are no different, we need to have a clear notion about what

we want to achieve and the steps we’re going to take to make that happen. “It’s no use simply saying ‘my goal is to lose 5kg’ or ‘my goal is to run 5km’. Neither is going to just happen without a strategy in place.” Fernwood Bendigo offers 49 group fitness classes, a weight management program, personal training and supervised play for the children, all within a clean and friendly environment. So whatever your health goals are for 2009, call Fernwood Bendigo on 5441 8008 or visit them at Level 1, 358 Hargreaves St.

Investment Opportunities Await

Residential investment properties can be great for building wealth. They can provide security, capital growth and rental income. With low interest rates and a shortage of rental properties on the market what better time to consider purchasing an investment property. You might be thinking about investing in residential property for the first time, and considering using the equity you have in your family home. Perhaps you already have a number of investment properties. Whatever your circumstances there are a number of things to consider when choosing the right investment loan. The first thing to consider is your borrowing power. Your borrowing power is determined by looking at your income and financial commitments, as well as your current savings and your credit history. Most financial insititutions will take into consideration the rental income you will receive from the investment property when calculating your borrowing power. You will also need to take into consideration your living expenses, so you can repay your loan and maintain the lifestyle you are used to. The second thing to consider is the cost. Once you have arrived at a ball-park figure for your potential purchase price, you will need to take into account the other charges that will apply. One of the biggest initial outlays you

will have is the deposit, which is usually 10% of the purchase price. You should also allow additional funds (approximately 5%) for the taxes, stamp duty, legal costs and insurance (landlords) associated with buying a property. The next step is to consider what type of loan is right for you. For example some features you may want to include are the: • Ability to make additional repayments to your loan, without extra charges. • Ability to make repayments via direct debit, ATMs, Internet and phone banking services. • 100% mortgage offset facility, allowing you to offset funds in an account against your home loan. • Ability to redraw additional payments you have made to your loan (for eligible customers). • Ability to restructure the loan further down the track. ANZ has been awarded Home Loan lender of the Year for the 10th time and can offer you a wide range of loans to suit the investor. I would invite any potential or existing investors to contact the branch on 03 54454400 or visit the branch at 91 Mitchell Street, Bendigo.

Arnold celebrates 150 years of settlement

Community marks historic crossing

By KEN ARNOLD THE residents of the small farming community of Arnold, 47 kilometres west of Bendigo, will mark the 150th anniversary of settlement on Australia Day with the unveiling of a plaque. The plaque will be unveiled between the two road bridges at 5.30pm and will be followed by Australia Day celebrations at the local hall. David Arnold, born 1821, Gamlingay, England, married Sarah Russell, on June 23, 1842 and had four sons – William John,1843, David Russell, 1845, Frank, 1853 and Charles, 1855 – prior to the family boarding the Startled Fawn, under the command of James Carlyle, which sailed from London on July 31, 1856. Arnold and his family moved to Tarnagulla in 1858. The quartz from the Inglewood goldfields that was being hauled to the crushers at Tarnagulla had to cross the Bullabul Creek between Bridgewater and Inglewood before proceeding south. Arnold thought he would shorten the journey by building a crossing over the creek. As he was building the bridge, which consisted of three stout logs and decking, he sent his son and another man to survey the road through the bush to Inglewood, blazing the trees with an axe. The first load to cross the new bridge was a six horse drawn

At that time the daily coaches passed to and fro from Castlemaine, Talbot, Dunolly and Inglewood. It was not long before a flood rose in the creek and washed away the crossing. David Arnold then decided to build a more substantial bridge, at a cost of around 100 pounds. Although the area was marked

on the early maps as Kangderaar it became known as Arnold’s Bridge, this being shortened to Arnold in the 1920s. A much more substantial bridge was built in 1873 which sufficed until 1947 when it was replaced. This bridge was burnt out in a bush fire in January 1965, it being replaced by two new concrete bridges upstream.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19): You are likely to find yourself thinking a lot about old friends and may want to get in touch with one or two of them. This is a time for nostalgia and reminiscence. Others are thinking about you, too, but you are a sign with more initiative than many, so pick up the telephone or write that email. Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

You may feel as though you are walking a tightrope. The arena is tied to love life or to financial circumstances and could be labeled “Freedom vs. Tradition”. You are driven to change to new ways, but the pull of the past, the rules, or tradition is very strong. Maybe it is another who is demanding change.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Your ruling planet is changing directions in the territory which deals with education, publishing, travel, public speaking, the law, and philosophy. Therefore any of these activities are subject to shifts, changes, or sudden deceleration due to lack of decision. Maybe the right solution just is not yet available.

Cancer (June 21 - July 21): Mercury is retrograding in the territory of taxes, debt, and joint resources. You will likely experience a need to go back and review financial history. Some may be hesitating over whether or not to become sexually involved with a new lover. The answer for that one is to step back for now. Think again in Feb.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21): Most of this week is a time for catch-up, and finishing projects. For the rest of this month, much of your attention will be on “others” in your life. Partnerships of any type are generally favored by this arrangement, because you will be searching for the “fair” solution in any dilemma.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22): You may find that your diet and exercise program are on hold or treading water. You have a desire to improve your everyday environment. Before you make big purchases, organize and sort closets, records, and files. Then you can see your space and what truly needs to be changed.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22):

You and Taurus have much in common now. You are experiencing a radical change in your life. It is akin to walking out of a deeply dark cave into the bright sunlight. You may want to run back inside. You have roughly 10 months to acclimate yourself to the new conditions. Then a change of work and role will redirect your energy entirely.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Whatever the circumstances of your life at present, it is all coming together for the purpose of your transformation. It may not be at all easy. Scorpio rarely takes the simple route. You can choose denial for a long time, but ultimately the Scorpio is a sign that must deal with psychological honesty.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): You may be thoroughly excited by an idea, a new vehicle, a returning person or a promise that comes your way. Investigate it multiple times before you invest yourself or your money heavily. Look out for your best interest, because the person who carries the token is mainly trying to resolve his/her own problems.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):

You are beginning a long period of total transformation. This means how you see and present yourself, your overall attitude, and possibly your health. Issues of power are upfront and centre. A situation is presently right in front of your face that shows you the next path to take, but not yet!

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): This is probably not your best week. The issue of struggle over money, sex, and joint resources continues to nag. A communication about this could bring old issues up again. In your heart you can intuitively feel yourself waking up with a new mission. This will require several months, but it is almost at the front door. Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

This month you are being released from a velvet cage of your own making. It’s a little like being pushed from the cozy bird’s nest. Where to go? How to do this? Maybe it is better in the velvet cage. But no, it is not. Your next quest is toward the spiritual and it is not one that can be done in the comfort zone.

Voice of the state

S the voice of Statewide Drive on ABC local radio, Kathy Bedford can really seem like part of the family. The actor-turned presenter is certainly relaxed and comfortable on air, making the show more of a chat around the tea table. Kathy is happy in her role, but it is not the only part she has played. “I started out as a nurse, but always wanted to do theatre, so nursing was always the career to fall back on,” she said. “I studied performing arts after I did nursing, and then I had my first baby and was working as an actor in Melbourne, but the work was

EACH weekday Kathy Bedford presents Statewide Drive on ABC Local Radio. STEVE KENDALL caught up with her to discover the ups and downs and ins and outs of on-air life...

very erratic, no certainty. “I didn’t really love nursing so I thought what can I do that will satisfy the performer in me?” While doing voiceover work on commercial television Kathy was encouraged to take up radio. “I started with 3BA in Ballarat and ended up back in Melbourne to be on air at 3AW and 3AK. “Then I heard they were building an ABC in Ballarat so I just set my mind to

getting a job here.” This positive approach and drive has obviously helped Kathy in her career. “In terms of my own goals I’ve been very strongminded and very goaloriented.” This strong-minded attititude would not translate well into an on-air role with the ABC. “It was a real lesson in self control coming from commercial radio,” Kathy said.

“When you’ve worked for an organisation like 3AW it’s about provoking the audience, actually creating discussion with your own opinions. “But the ABC is not like that. My role is to facilitate other people giving their opinion. You have to be really careful, and that was something I had to learn early on.” Kathy said being strongminded on air was likely to stifle discussion as people

thought it wouldn’t be worth phoning in. “Devil’s advocate is more the role I take,” she said. “The best thing is when there’s a federal election and you get accused of political bias from both sides. “As long as the complaints are balanced then I feel I’m doing my job.” With family such a strong part of Kathy’s life, sometimes anecdotes are related on air.

“Some people say ‘we love to hear about your kids’ but you’ll also get people telling you they’re not interested who you are,” she said. “It is offensive when people say they don’t want to hear about my kids, because that’s my whole world. “But it’s how other people get to know you and feel they become part of your family because they do share your highs and lows and your complaining about your husband, whatever it might be. That’s just good revenge on husband too – I have the ultimate power there don’t I?” n Continued Page 27

Dorling waxed lyrical over Australia’s attributes

An enthusiastic colonist by

james lerk

have drawn the last few articles from a letter held by the Huntly Heritage Centre, from W Dorling to his family in England written in 1852 after he visited the Bendigo goldfield, from South Australia. Dorling had described his departure from Adelaide by brig to Melbourne where he and his party stayed for a week and a half before making their way overland to the Bendigo Creek. The party first camped at Long Gully then later transferred their efforts to what is now an unknown name, York Gully, where their labours had considerable success. Dorling had given his readers an insight into digging life, mode of working, costs and the general geography of the field. The physical effort required in digging for gold often without reward was what I mentioned last week. A clerk or sales person he went on to state would blister his hands, now continuing in the words of Dorling.

months and not get an ounce of gold, and he may find it the first day, which is the case very often, and when it is found it is likely to be a thousand pounds worth as it is one hundred. I have known instances where a party has worked upwards of three months, and all at once they would find a deposit of gold worth from two to three thousand pounds. I know a party of three men who made one thousand eight hundred pounds in four months. The people of West Stow may rather doubt this, but I can assure you it is of fact of personal observation and experience. Some may say it is possible that the government of these colonies will allow people to dig on crown lands and search for gold and keep the proceeds of their labour, and in answer to this inquiry, without fear of

So you see the labouring man who has been accustomed to hard labour for his bread, is the man most fit for the diggings and most likely to succeed, because he is quite at home with pick and shovel in his hands. A man may work six

contradiction, I say the only demand made on diggers is the licence fee, which is only 30 shillings a calendar month and then what ever the diggers success may be the proceeds of his own. That’s the liberty of Australia – and what think ye of the riches of the Australian colonies, the best and finest country in the known world for the poorest peasant or mechanic? Some may say “after a few years your beautiful country will be crowded and overpopulated through imigration” [sic]. But look over the map of this

which is the most profitable occupation this side of the universe, so there is little or no work going on, because the men in Adelaide refuse to work for three pounds a week: so trade is stopped till the diggings cease, or plenty of emigrants come out without money who perhaps might work till they get sufficient means to take them to the gold mines, and then off they would go and leave their masters.

Things to do – Friday, January 16 – Thursday, January 22, 2009

Film review – By robert gibson Title: The Day the Earth Stood Still Rated: M Genre: Sci-Fi, Drama Main cast: Keanu Reeves, Kathy Bates, John Cleese and Jennifer Connelly Director: Scott Derrickson

t is sacrilegious to badly re-make a classic, B-grade sci-fi movie with the technology and wealth of talented scriptwriters that are available to film makers. The original cult 1951 film, directed by Robert Wise, was hysterical and featured a high-camp approach to sci-fi. It had wonderful art-deco characters, including the famous mono-eyed robot and an extra-terrestrial constructed in human form to enable easier acceptance by earth’s inhabitants. He was dressed in a brilliant lame jumpsuit. The 2008 version offers mediocre special effects and a narrative that is sadly becoming stale. Faced with possible real-life extinction through global warming, the topic is now used across the board by film-makers from animators to blockbuster producers. If you are going to make a movie about the possible annihilation of the human race then it better be a goodie. The latest, The Day the Earth Stood Still, does not make the cut. A stellar cast including Keanu Reeves, Kathy Bates, John Cleese and Jennifer Connelly can’t use their combined talents to resurrect this project.

I am facing up to the inevitable. All the signs are there. I’m finally growing up...

Oh no, it’s three oh W

ell, it’s mere weeks away now, the big Three Oh. The big Oh No. I was determined to face the milestone with pride. Being 30 would mean I would no longer have that annoying desire to justify my decisions to my mother. But alas, there is some trepidation sneaking in where the all power feeling once was. One of my girlfriends summed it up well. She said she could remember her parents at 30 ...volunteering in the tuck shop. Today’s 30 woman does not want to be the tuck shop lady. Luckily the average age of first-time mums is apparently 31 now, so that’s going to help. I’m sure the age doesn’t come with a natural instinct to congregate to the nearest pie window. I hope. Because they say the waistline is something else to consider. “Once you turn 30 it won’t fall off so easily,” they say as I reach for my third cream sweetie. When you’re in your 20s, it all kind of blends together. You forget your actual age for a while there, probably in a haze of vodka and lime, you’re either early, mid or late 20s. I will cling to the age of 29 until the second before the time I was pulled screaming into the Mount Alvernia birthing suit all those moons ago. And while I’m sure I won’t be standing alongside my flabby-armed comrades, nattering, battering savs left and right anytime soon,

there’s many signs I’m getting older...hell, here’s 30 of them: 1. I can make gravy, and white sauce, perfect everytime, no lumps. 2. I separate my whites, and use lingerie bags in the whirlpool.

Today’s 30 woman does not want to be the tuck shop lady

3. I begin conversations with friends with “I’ve just cooked raspberry and white choc muffins, come over for a coffee”. 4. I actually read the front page news before the lifestyle pages now. 5. I tune in for the weather report. 6. I can give advice on drought-tolerant species, “no, what you need is dianthus in there.” 7. I’m the second oldest person in my workplace. 8. I think “the charts” refer to pregnancy progress. 9. I still listen to the music of my hey day and get very, very excited when the hits of 1998 are played on the radio. 10. I take great interest in the kitchen bench tops of my mates, “Oooh, you know Susie’s got that same Laminex!”

11. I enjoy white wine. From a glass bottle. In a white wine glass. 12. I’ve stopped wearing that denim mini dress I bought at 16 even though I can still fit into it. 13. I use the phrase “oh, the youth of today....” 14. I keep sunscreen handy, 24-7, and constantly nag people, “have you got sunscreen on?” Even acquaintances. 15. My handbag contains jars of herbal remedies. 16. I have a special lolly canister on the bench, just out of reach of little people. 17. I swap recipes with relatives. 18. I display pretty recipe books too fancy to use on my benchtop. 19. I can’t remember what pythagoras’ theorem means. Or the different names of the triangles. 20. I refer to digital technology as “fang dangle things”. 21. I have a signature salad. And it includes fetta. 22. There’s a naughty spot in our house, and it’s nothing kinky. 23. I will forgo a late night for an early morning. More and more frequently. 24. I have money left at the end of the week. 25. I read novels where

the main character is, yes, 30-something. 26. I can’t sing along to the top 10 but the tots hits, I’ve got covered. 27. I own coordinated crockery. 28. I worry about fancying film stars because I fear they’re younger than me. And just on that, George Clooney is starting to look good. 29. I can talk politics, and know what I’m saying. 30. My car radio is set to the ABC. It

used to be Triple J. Don’t laugh, they have good local coverage in the morning. 30.1. I value good local coverage in the morning. Oh my god. What have I become? I AM the embodiment of the tuck shop lady, minus the flabby forearms, I must stress. May as well accept it. Would you like sauce with that?

That’s my midlife crisis maybe, of course it’s red

ON THE AIR: Kathy Bedford in the Statewide Drive studio. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN. More photos at www.bendigophotos.com

Bedford broadcasting n From Page 23 Audience feedback is a major part of the ABC, and though mostly positive, sometimes it bites. “I’m getting better at putting criticisms to one side,” Kathy said. “I’ve been in radio more than 10 years. It does jar you. But I just say ‘thanks for your feedback’ and continue on my way.” So what does it take to get a three-hour show to air? “My working day starts at 10am,” Kathy said. “Normally I’ve done a day’s work before then getting my two boys to school and all of that.

“At 10am we read through all the papers check online news sources, see what other programmes have done and at 11.30am we get together,” she said. “I have two producers, Loretta Florance and Irene Scott. We have an editorial meeting and we all bring our ideas to that meeting. “The producers are constantly handing me things. So until three o’clock you’re trying to get your head

statewide interest. “The couture exhibition is a good example,” she said. “That’s quite a big get for Bendigo, so that’s a story we would do because we think everbody in the state would be interested.” There is life outside the studio and Kathy likes to run and swim and is competing in her first triathlon at the end of February. Then there is her new red Vespa scooter.

People have their own ideas of what you look like... that’s the beauty of radio around as many stories as possible.” Kathy said the focus of the program was very much the whole state, with the brief to take the bigger stories and make them relevant to regional Victoria. The show does not really cover local stories unless it would have

“That’s my midlife crisis maybe, of course it’s red. “Along with a lot of people I’m making this gradual shift to being more environmentally aware... that and we have a very crowded car park. “It just feels like a fun thing to be doing.” Though a public part of

many people’s everyday lives Kathy is not often recognised in the street. “I’ve had people say ‘I’ve thought you were a really big lady’. People have their own ideas of what you look like. I think that’s the beauty of radio,” she said. That beauty obviously still holds an attraction for Kathy, this June she will celebrate six years at the helm of the Statewide show. “I said I was career oriented earlier, I think that’s changed a bit since my children have got older,” she said. “So where I’m at now is pretty good. “Of course I’m wondering about the next challenge, this is longest time I’ve done any job, but it continues to challenge me. “I’m never bored... and I love it.” Statewide Drive is on Monday to Friday, 3pm-6pm on ABC Local Radio 91.1FM.

Home with all the trimmings Boon for families and investors S

Strathdale

his character-filled, brick-veneer home was built by respected local builder Geoff Flack. It offers great features for the entire family, not least of all a second, double garage with separate driveway at the rear of the property; every home handyman’s dream. Inside are four goodsized bedrooms, the main with a spacious ensuite with corner spa, and a walkin wardrobe. A large bay

window, with under bench storage is a lovely, practical feature. The large, formal lounge also features a bay window

and the cornices and timber mantel add character and charm. There’s also a formal dining area for gatherings with family and friends. Eye-catching in timber, the kitchen is functional and has an abundance of cupboard and bench space. An independent bench doubles as a breakfast bar. Other mod cons include a dishwasher and sixburner cook top, dedicated space for a double fridge and double sink. There’s a relaxing view from the kitchen window to the fullyenclosed, very private rear garden. Both remaining bedrooms are wellproportioned and offer built-in storage. The main bathroom is central to these rooms and this entire wing can be closed off from the rest of the home. Located in a quiet court in Strathdale, you’re not far from the local shopping village and schools, and within walking distance to scenic walking trails.

eeking something a little out of the ordinary or a property perfectly placed for investment purposes? A short stroll from this doorstep will deliver residents to La Trobe University, Strathdale shopping centre, Strath Hill shops, buses, playground, a secondary college and more. Even the CBD is within walkable distance. From its elevated position, views across the tree-tops of Bendigo can be appreciated from both indoor and outdoor living areas. Architectural features such as cathedral ceilings add a sense of extra space to the open-plan living zone. A very unusual floorplan that incorporates a variety of rooms and two bathrooms allows for versatility. A large room at the opposite end of the home would make a great rumpus room, or opulently-proportioned main bedroom. In fact, it is difficult to say how many bedrooms this home has, as it depends entirely upon how the occupier chooses to utilise the flexible floorplan. Recently updated, the kitchen contains a

air-conditioning and ceiling fans. Alfresco dining is well-sheltered beneath a substantial structure. The grounds require minimal maintenance and a timber garden shed supplies storage. Located in a very small court, this property is ideally suited to families as much as to investors.

Save water with smart grass

MARTGRASS looks like real grass and it’s affordable. It’s a long-lasting investment with an estimated lifespan of twenty years, and made from commercial quality fibres with high UV protection for year-round use. It is suitable for installation on all types of soil conditions and is incredibly low maintenance. Darren Henson from SmartGrass, Bendigo says, “Our motto is ‘it looks so real, we challenge you to tell the difference.’ It’s Australian developed and manufactured, tested by the CSIRO and has a seven year warranty. “Our customers tell us that SmartGrass is a wonderful replacement for traditional lawn, as it saves valuable water and precious leisure time. There’s no need to water, no weeding and fertilising, no prickles on bare feet, and best of all, no mowing,” Darren added. Dog owners especially like the highly durable synthetic grass, as it is easy to keep clean (just pick up the droppings each day) and if there is an accident, a bit of good old

soapy water is all you need to have it looking and smelling like new again. There’s no doubt it is very hard wearing for home owner use, as SmartGrass is also marketed as being suitable for any commercial application as well. Used in open spaces for local council common areas, OH&S trouble spots, highwear zones, through to child care centres, schools and roof top podiums, and goes all the way to top level sports field venues. Darren has over two years experience in the field. He says SmartGrass has a unique ‘system’ of installing their premiere synthetic grass which is manufactured and installed under patent protected licenses and patents. “SmartGrass can be demonstrated over time to pay for itself in comparison to the installation and maintenance costs of a natural grass lawn. Additionally SmartGrass always looks A1,” said Darren. Give him a call on freecall 1800 SMARTGRASS, 5446 9244 or mobile 0438 521 665. Check the website at www.smartgrass.com.au

Family friendly home

fully renovated weatherboard home in central Bendigo, what more would you expect at this price? Especially when you find out that this home incorporates all the styling of times gone by, which

Bendigo can’t seem to get enough of lately, coupled with the convenience of more modern times. Close to Lake Weeroona, with a child-friendly, securely fenced yard on a corner with Thunder

Street, the home isn’t far from the main road and, consequently, public transport, as well as both primary and secondary schools. Lovely as the positioning is, it’s the interior that will be the main attraction for the majority. Four bedrooms, the main with a three-piece ensuite, walk-in robe and French doors leading to the patio, 11-foot ceilings, elaborate cornicing and ceiling roses, sash windows, polished wood floors, picture rails, fireplaces and leadlighting. It all makes for a gorgeous, yet wellbalanced, mix. The formal living and lounge rooms are spacious and comfortable, just as

Bendigo you would expect, while the kitchen has all the modern facilities that you need. Outside the rear French doors, a large area has been paved, decked, and turned into an expansive entertaining area. The

remainder of the yard has been landscaped and is immaculately presented. A wonderful family home, in a great family area, better get in quick. Bendigo Weekly

With complements

lad in red brick beneath a terracotta tile roof, this classic ‘red clinker’ still seems as solid as the day it was constructed. With some improvements already completed bringing it into the realm of conveniences expected in this century, this wonderful home has a complementary mix of contemporary and classic elements. A lovely spot for a cuppa, the broad front patio shelters the double glass-door main entrance. Heating and cooling are now ducted throughout, and polished hardwood floors are found in some rooms. Twin sets of double glass-doors separate the loungeroom from the hallway, and from the kitchen/meals area. Quaint and functional, the vast abundance of original

cabinetry hosts a side-by-side gas cooker and oven. There is plenty of room for a fridge and upright freezer, and new floor coverings are a bonus. All three bedrooms contain built-in robes, and the main bedroom is enormous, enabling dual use as a parents retreat. Alternatively, it would make a great combination bedroom/ playroom for the kids instead. In the big backyard, a sundeck has recently been added, and a large pergola soars above a built-in barbeque. A small brick shed with concrete floor and power also has a plumbing to a trough, as it way once the original laundry.

Tucked away townhouse

his contemporary townhouse is tucked away in a village-like development of other well-laid out homes, all with individual features. It is set back off the street and accessed via a bitumen axe-handle driveway rather like a private road. Being the end unit, it has an excellent degree of privacy for the compact backyard, and is backed by state land which provides a pleasant backdrop and enhances the feeling of privacy. The rendered brick veneer has Colorbond roof and fences, security doors,

North Bendigo blinds fitted throughout, split-system heating and cooling, neutral colour schemes, downlights and a single carport with a remote panel lift door. There are three bedrooms, all with builtin robes, and the master also has direct access to the tiled three-piece, two-way bathroom with IXL. An open-plan living area is quite spacious, with a tiled kitchen and dining area and a carpeted lounge space. Sliding glass doors open out to the decking and the fullyfenced yard. The kitchen

Picture-perfect period-home

picture of perfection in period-style magnificence, this thoroughly and tastefully restored residence is a pure delight to behold. Shining with resplendence once again, its inherent character has been most thoughtfully combined with modern comforts. Laced with timber fretwork, the broad jarrah return-verandah covers two leadlight doors, one to the lounge, the other to the central entrance-hall. Further extensive evidence of early era origins are found everywhere inside. The golden glow of polished pine floors flow beneath high ceilings, including the stunning pressed-metal ceiling in the lounge-room. Solid

Sheer decadence is discovered adjacent to the rear verandah, where a 12-person swim-spa is safely housed in a private room of its own. A two-car garage and workshop has concrete floor and power, and the yards are fully landscaped and securely fenced. Restumped, replastered, rewired, re-plumbed and reroofed in recent years - even ducted heating and cooling have been installed.

Keep those receipts for BACK TO SCHOOL expenses! Keeping all of your education-related receipts for the financial year ending June 2009 is a timely reminder from local accountant, Michael Job. Many purchases, set-up costs, repairs and maintaining certain types of items are eligible educational expenses. Some examples of eligible expenses are computer systems including laptops, associated attachments, internet and education-related software along with anti-virus software. Text books and stationary items are covered, as are trade-related tools and equipment. Special needs computer-based equipment for people with disabilities are eligible items too. However, expenses that are ineligible for taxation claims include school fees, levies, excursions and uniforms, musical instruments and sporting gear (even if used for school-based activities). Tutoring and transport costs are also ineligible for claims. Both independent students and families can benefit from these kinds of tax claims, depending upon meeting individual eligibility requirements. It certainly is well worth investigating, as up to 50% of costs may be refunded, even if you were not eligible for the whole year. Also, if your expenses exceed your refund limit in any given year, the excess can be claimed in the following financial year. To find out if you are eligible, and further explanation of the complexities of educational taxation claims, contact Michael Job and Associates on 5441 5244 to make a mutually convenient appointment. Businesses please note: The Tax Office can penalise you if your records are not complete. Ring 54415244 to find out more!

DOMESTIC WATER CARTAGE Bendigo LPG Conversions has been in the business of saving people money for over 18 years, providing LPG conversions to all types of vehicles. With a team of five dedicated LPG specialist technicians, they offer years of knowledge, professionalism and quick turn-around times. The average family car can be converted to LPG for around $2500. With the government rebate still available to all privately-owned vehicles, your LPG conversion will only owe you $500! We provide all the paperwork regarding the rebate and assist in making sure it’s a hassle free claim. The typical country driver clocks up 20,000km per year. If driving a commodore/falcon, your petrol fuel economy will be about 11 litres per 100km. With petrol around $1.10 per litre, you could spend $2420 on petrol for the year. The same vehicle doing the same kilometres on gas will only cost you $1296, saving a huge $1124 per year. Commercial V6 utes save around $2000. On average, Bendigo LPG converts 45 vehicles per month, about 42 fitted with ‘Sprint Gas’ systems. ‘Sprint Gas’ has distribution outlets in each state - one of the reasons they are number one in Australia, and can offer you a nationwide full manufacturer’s warranty. Don’t wait to save thousands of dollars! Call in at 148 Strickland Road, or phone 54 425284 to discuss how we can reduce your fuel bill by half. Conversions take 2-3 days to complete and have a free 1500km follow-up service.

New equipment allows year-round sport training

Diver launches dryland facility Olympic diver Chantelle Newbery has officially opened a new dryland diving facility at the Bendigo YMCA. Believed to be the first of its kind in regional Australia the synchronised diving equipment will enable local competitors to train year round. The three time Olympian said the skills of the local divers will increase rapidly from the new venture. Now working on the talent identification program with Diving Australia Chantelle has praised the new venture. ‘’The dryland facility will be a big boost to our sport,” she said. “It demonstrates Bendigo is moving with the times. “Each diver now has the opportunity to put more in to their diving sessions and with this type of training it creates more repetition during their training which is so important,’’ she said. Also in town for the occasion

was prominent diving coach Peter Panayi who described the new facility as the equal to any around the capital cities. With numbers in the Bendigo YMCA Diving Club on the increase there will soon be an opportunity to host the Australian Country Championships. The development manager of Diving Australia Daryl Hocking says an upgrade at the Bendigo Aquatic Centre will also be needed. ‘’If Bendigo wants to host the next Australian Country Championships they will need to install an additional three-metre diving board to facilitate synchronised diving,” he said. “It is a crucial part of our national titles and we will be speaking with the local council about this,’’ he said. Bendigo Regional YMCAs Rod Wee Hee said the local diving club is regarded as the strongest in regional Australia and it is important

that they have the best possible conditions in which to conduct their training sessions.

Spirit on to a winner A 25 point haul from Opals guard Kristi Harrower led the Bendigo Spirit to a convincing 22 point victory over the Australian Institute Of Sport in Canberra on Saturday. The Spirit jumped the home side early and had a match-winning break of 32 points at the long interval in an impressive start to the new year, eventually winning 71-93. Their finals hopes were further boosted by Sydney’s shock loss to Perth. Kristi Harrower said the team was in great shape to make the finals. Despite the season-ending injury to Eleanor Haring the players need to focus on the job ahead. ‘’Obviously losing a player of the calibre of Eleanor Haring is a huge

loss but in saying that it creates an opportunity for other players to stand up and get more minutes on the court,” she said. “We are one of the smaller teams in the competition and we just have to get out there and run when we have control of the ball. “This weekend is a huge challenge for us with two games on the road and it could be season defining.’’ The star of the Bendigo Spirit is set to complete her WNBL commitments with the local team and then head overseas to continue her international career. The competitions in both Europe and the USA are now high on her agenda.

Bowlers on target Summer sports enthusiasts get back into the competitive spirit tomorrow after the festive season break. On the local bowling greens the feature of the round will be the clash between Strathfieldsaye and Golden Square.

Carol aims high for victory on the netball court

Coach chases double win n Bendigo based netball coach Carol Byers is planning a unique double for 2009. First up will be her role as an assistant coach with the Melbourne Vixens as they go in search of their first ANZ Championship. Then later in the year Carol will again coach the reigning champions Victorian Fury in the Australian Netball League.

DOUBLE CHASER: Carol Byers hopes for two wins.

Back in training

Shaun in form

Off track action

n Radio newsreader Shaun Makepeace has hit some good form with Spring Gully Cricket Club with a swashbuckling 151 run haul against Marong. It was a timely run spree for Makepeace who will line up for Emu Valley against Maryborough at Bell Oval this Monday in Division Two of Bendigo Country Week competition.

n Big night at Lords Raceway with our top pacers going around in the Bendigo Cup. But there are plenty of attractions off the track with the first 200 children through the gate getting a free showbag. There is also a puppet making workshop to keep the kids entertained. Watch out for the hugely popular pony trot events between races as they are always a great spectacle as well as a Punters Club for those in need of help of finding a winner.

Cricketers visit

n The Bendigo Pioneers are back in full training under the watchful eye of their coach Mark Ellis and there are promising signs judging by the large numbers attending training sessions. Throughout the month of January the young players are concentrating on improving their fitness and skill work before heading in to a series of practice matches next month. Opening match of the 2009 TAC Cup is at the QEO on April 4 when the Pioneers take on the Geelong Falcons.

Bowling in n The nation’s top lawn bowlers are headed our way next month. They will be in town for the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open with matches scheduled to start on Tuesday, February 10 with the men’s singles which will require 138 rinks at 11 local bowling clubs. The men’s pairs will be contested on Thursday, February 12. There are also big fields in the ladies singles, pairs and triples titles. The finals begin in Shepparton on February 15.

Brisbane bound n Outstanding junior athletes Brigette Dillon and Sophie Taylor head to Brisbane for a special track meet next month. They will join the cream of Australia’s athletes and future stars as state teams battle for a share of the $25,000 prizemoney at the Australia Cup to be held at the Queen-

sland Sports and Athletics Centre at Nathan. The action packed program of athletics will be preceded by a clinic conducted by 1984 Olympic gold medallist Glenys Nunn.

Top nominations n Some

very good nominations have been received for the first round of junior sports grants from AFS and Associates. The financial group is putting money up each month to assist our needy athletes to achieve their goals and to help them to represent Bendigo on the national and international stage. Nominations should be forwarded to bezzo@bendigoweekly.com.au and the winner will be announced in early February.

Golfers make grade n Great effort from our two Bendigo raised golfers Heath Reed and Andrew Martin at the Asian Tour Qualifying

School in Thailand. From a field of 502 players in search of a place on the Asian Tour just 87 made it through to the five round final stage of qualifying. They will be joined by an already exempted 116 players. Only 40 will get their tour cards when the final stage is completed tomorrow and they will get the opportunity to play in 33 tournaments during the year which offers total prizemoney of $42 million.

Court action n The

region’s top young netballers take to the court when the North Central Regional State League competition begins its 2009 season this Wednesday evening at the Flora Hill Stadium. Among the new teams in the Open Division will be the new look Strathfieldsaye Storm who will make their debut against future Bendigo Football League rivals Golden Square. And in the 17 and Under

competition one of the new teams set to take to the court will be the Castlemaine Cobras. Matches start from 6.45pm.

n Cricketers from across regional areas are set to converge on our city for the annual Bendigo Bank Country Week tournament. Benalla and Shepparton will launch this year’s action when they play under lights at the QEO this Sunday. All other teams contesting the four divisions of the tournament will start play on Monday morning. The Country Week format has been hugely successful for the Bendigo District Cricket Association and this year players from drought-affected areas will experience some great playing surfaces thanks to the recycled water program.

Olympic push n The push is on to include netball on the Olympic Program for 2016 and beyond. Netball Australia has urged its followers to add their name and message of support to the Call to Action website. They are also keen to promote the startling news that more than 20 million people enjoy playing netball in more than 70 countries across five regions. They also pointed out at the last Olympics held in Beijing just 42 per cent of the participants were women. The International Olympic Committee is set to meet in Denmark in October.

seat your action has unequal pressure in the rotation of the cranks. The other means is to select an easy gear and pedal as fast as you can until you either bounce or run out of legs. The last method is to pedal one leg. Unclip one foot out of the pedal and try to maintain an even pedal stroke one legged. It will be most likely that the last part of the upper stroke where there is overemphasis on pulling up that the getting across the top of the stroke is lost and becomes rough and jerky. Think of your feet making circles and less on the strength of your legs as it is your feet which guides and controls the even outputs of the legs. Back to the new year ahead. Look at keeping all things in balance and ticking over in unison one step at a time. Keep your strengths and work as much on your weaknesses to make them strengths to move forward longer and further. Sustaining energy and maintaining a smooth approach to the mountains and valleys that life can bring. All these are there make us stronger when equipped with the right mindset and attitude of heart. See you on the road soon, God willing.

Talent on show

By alan besley

Star Kiwi pacer Changeover is set to show his exceptional talent when he contests the Bendigo Pacing Cup tomorrow night at Lords Raceway. In September, the outstanding pacer won the Spring Cup in Auckland beating Awesome Armbro and Gotta

Pacer heads for a win

Go Cullen in a New Zealand record of 2.42.7 over 2200 metres from a standing start. The New Zealand Cup winner has not raced since he was an unlucky fifth placing

behind Melpark Major in the SEW Eurodrive Victoria Cup on December 20 at Moonee Valley. Also set to tackle the Group 2 event worth $50,000

is the boom USA Import Mr Feelgood who has already won more than $1.3 million in stakemoney. He is the most highly credentialled American horse

to race in Australia. Both pacers have already notched up more than $1 million in stakemoney. The 2650 metre mobile event has attracted some of the best standardbreds in Australasia and is sure to attract a bumper crowd to the Junortoun track for harness racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night of the year.
