Bendigo’s only locally owned newspaper

Science in action BENDIGO’S Discovery Science and Technology Centre is looking for the next great science photographer of our times. As part of the centre’s activities in the lead up to National Science Week, Discovery has launched the Science in Action photography challenge, with some great prizes on offer. “National Science Week, which will take place from 15 to 23 August, is one of the most important events on the science education calendar in Australia and Discovery is looking forward to hosting numerous activities and events, starting with the photography challenge,” Discovery manager Angie Carter said. “The amazing thing is that science is happening around us all the time, but we hardly ever stop to appreciate it. “Through this competition we hope to get people thinking about how science is present in their everyday lives and capture it in a photo.” The competition is open to all ages, and is split into three different age categories – under 12, 13 to 18 and 19 and over. Winners of the competition in each age category will be announced during National Science Week and will win a $200 shopping voucher at the Bendigo Marketplace.

Traders fire up to tackle Mitchell Street problem

By ANTHONY RADFORD MITCHELL Street traders have been issued with a call to arms to fight the proposed bus changes in their street. The City of Greater Bendigo council and state government last week unveiled plans aimed at dealing with the chaos created in Mitchell Street when the Department of Transport re-routed every CBD bus down the busy street.

The plans only revealed one option for the buses themselves – to extend the footpaths and have them stop in the left-hand lane of Mitchell Street near the existing bus stops. There has been little support for the plans since their release, and an 80-strong crowd at a public meeting on Tuesday night reinforced that. Traders have been urged to submit an objection, or even their support, for the plans, as council, for

the first time, has indicated they may not be set in stone. Bendigo Traders’ Association president Neil Athorn said the proposal was not a step forward and urged traders to have their say. “The general feeling is this solution is not acceptable,” he said. “If there is enough opposition, will council bend and consider alternatives? “The traders have to stand up and say they are not happy, we

need to be consulted and we need to look closely at the other options out there.” Toyworld owner Mike Hammond, who has been a vocal opponent of the bus changes since the beginning, echoed Mr Athorn’s calls. “I believe now is the time for traders to stand up and say what they want. That is certainly what I will be doing,” he said. Continued Page 7

Sequel movies are made so well these days that they stand alone and all previous projects don’t necessarily need to have been seen. Terminator Salvation is a prime example, it will excite new audiences as well as entertaining the purists of this story that began in 1984. At a cost of around $200 million dollars, the fourth film is well-made with convincing special effects which tell John Brancato and Michael Ferris’s story of resistance leader John Connor who takes on Skynet – the organisation of machines designed to eliminate the human race.

By ANTHONY RADFORD THE Bendigo Bank is tackling the federal government head on over a key plank of the government’s economic stimulus package. The bank will lodge a submission with the parliamentary inquiry into the government’s wholesale funding guarantee for banks. Under the plan, the government will guarantee eligible wholesale borrowings for Australian banks in return for a fee. The fees are 0.7 per cent above the market interest rate for AA rated banks such as the four major banks. The Bendigo is rated BBB and A2 by agencies, attracting a fee of 1.5 per cent above the rate. With banks having to pass that on to their customers, the smaller and regional banks feel it is creating an advantage for the Commonwealth, ANZ, NAB and Westpac banks. Outgoing Bendigo Bank managing director Rob Hunt said the move was unfair. “We are on the record as saying we don’t think what was implemented was fair on all players,” he said. “While it is particularly

difficult at the moment, given what happened globally, we are the only bank I am aware of that has not used the government guarantee in the wholesale markets. “We have done it under our own steam and our own capabilities.”

We have done it under our own steam and our own capabilities

Mr Hunt said the tough economic times, and the fact The Bendigo was having to fend for itself, would benefit the company in the long term. “From my point of view, these tough times are when I think this organisation stands up and shows what it is made

of,” he said. “When you set about dealing with the major threat to the banking industry, and we are a small player in that industry, we thought no one else was going to fix the impacts of this global event on us. “While they might well be happy to help the majors, we felt they were not as inclined to help us. “From our point of view we had to deal with it ourselves. We have done that, to the degree it had an impact on our short-term profitability. ”I think we will look back on this at some future date and say that was another one of those catalysts and challenges that launched us into the next couple of decades.” Mr Hunt said despite the tough economic times, The Bendigo was continuing to grow and attract customers. “Right through this crisis we are still growing customer numbers by around 7000 customers a month nett,” he said. “We are still opening branches and some of the majors are starting to shut branches, again. “We are still working with 70 communities around Australia to get Bendigo Bank into their community.”

CONVEYANCING LEGAL NEEDS

BENDIGO Bank managing director Rob Hunt last night received the key to the city. At a City of Greater Bendigo Civic Reception at the Town Hall, Mr Hunt became only the second person to receive the honour, last bestowed on Jack Lockett to acknowledge his 110th birthday. Mayor Kevin Gibbins said Mr Hunt was a born and bred Bendigonian who has enjoyed a highly successful and distinguished career since joining the Bendigo Building Society in 1973. “Rob Hunt has been the force behind the growth of the Bendigo Bank and its successful and innovative community banking model which has received national attention and has helped to put both the Bendigo and regional Australia firmly on the business map,” he said. “It’s therefore very pleasing and appropriate to acknowledge his wonderful career by presenting him with the key to the city to mark his retirement.”

House prices show an NEED CASH impressive cash return $300 to $5,000 Bendigo Median House Prices 1998 – 2008

By ANTHONY RADFORD WITH the economy still a long way off recovery, an analysis of Bendigo’s median house prices for the past decade has produced some astounding results. According to Land Victoria, the average Bendigo median house prices has soared by 141 per cent in the 11 years to the start of 2009. The Kennington median house price almost tripled in that time, jumping by 189 per cent to $226,575. Long Gully was second with a median price rise of 176 per cent to $171,500. The median White Hills price jumped more than 160 per cent over the 11-year period to $215,000. Real Estate Institute of Victoria Bendigo president Brad Hinton said the figures proved the Bendigo property market was a strong investment. “Bendigo has been a real gold mine for investors, particularly if property was purchased in the late 1990s to the early 2000s, simply because prices have not only doubled, but in many instances almost tripled in price in that time,” he said. “From memory the median price in 2000 was about $82,000 – with the median currently around $240,000 and going very strong. “Bendigo is also a little immune to the current economic crisis with property turning over faster and for slightly better prices than what it was for prob-

“The rental return on investment in Bendigo is quite healthy varying around five per cent to eight per cent as a gross return, which will, in my opinion keep the market very stable for the next few years,” he said. Darryn Mawby of Darryn Mawby and Associates said the major increases were in 2002 and 2003. “In my opinion, Bendigo property prices are undervalued,” he said. “In many cases, one-to-fiveyear properties are often below replacement cost.” Mr Mawby, who is also on the board of the Bendigo Weekly, said large price growth was just around the corner. “History shows we are well and truly approaching the time where we are due for some substantial price growth,” he said. “It is also an excellent time to upgrade as when prices do go again the gap between what you are selling and what you are trading up to is most likely to

widen.” Mr Mawby said investors had returned to the Bendigo property market over the past two or three months. “While the first-home owners grant has been a very effective stimulus for buyers of both established and new homes, we have been very pleased with the number of properties we have sold in excess of $350,000,” he said. “Obviously, sellers of homes in the first home buyer range are then trading up themselves.” DCK Real Estate director Matt Bowles said he was a good testimony for the growth of the market. “On a personal note my first home I purchased in Quarry Hill in 1990 for $55,000, was worth $110,000 in 2000,” he said. “It has since sold again for $198,000 in 2006. “So property is, in my opinion, a very safe long-term investment.”

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 3, 2009

Long walk to highlight the impact of suicide By ANNIKA SMETHURST FOR Russell Weston, suicide has played a significant part in his life. Three years ago everything he knew was drastically altered when his friendly, energetic and sports-minded brother suddenly took his own life. The shock of his brother’s passing left an immeasurable void in his family and to this day the question ‘why?’ remains unanswered. Unfortunately for Russell the devastation he experienced was not unfamiliar, losing six of his cousins to suicide. “Since my brother died I have had a dream and that dream is to try and bring greater awareness to the community about the sad loss of suicide,” Mr Weston said. As a tribute to all those who have been lost to suicide, the Bendigo man will walk from Brisbane to Sydney on his Our Silent Footsteps crusade. Departing Brisbane on August 17, Mr Weston will walk more than 900kilometres to Sydney Town Hall following the Old Pacific Highway. “Every step I take will be a step for my brothers, my sisters, and all those who have taken their lives – the walk will give attention to the reasons why people take their lives,” he said. “I want to show those living with depression, the loss of a family member or a sad heart that the community supports them, and, most importantly, does care.” In Australia, about seven people die as a result of suicide daily which is about the same as breast cancer, yet this issue often goes under the radar. This number does not take into account attempted suicides which is likely to be around 10 times the number of

suicide deaths. Mr Weston said he was not after monetary donations and was happy to do the walk at his own personal expense. “I am an ordinary man, and a descendant of the Yorta Yorta. I have lived a simple and happy life with my community. I have been fortunate to have had a variety of opportunities in the work force and have also experienced the joys of volunteer work,” he said. “I just felt I needed to do something.” Mr Weston will camp at different towns along the way, carrying minimal supplies in his pack including three pairs of runners, thermal wear and a tent. Mr Weston hopes to collect signatures for a petition he will give to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. “I want to highlight the need for greater understanding and support for all those who have ever attempted suicide or seriously contemplated suicide,” he said “There is a need for prevention education in schools and the community, and also an insight into the reasons for suicide because often mental illness is not the only reason people end their lives.” For Mr Weston and his family nothing can ever repair the void that their family members have left, but focusing positive energy towards the Our Silent Footsteps walk is helping to heal their sadness. “I guess now I am just getting excited about my walk and all the possibilities that can came out of this,” Mr Weston said. “The amount of support I have had has been great and I hope it continues,” he said. To send a letter of support, or to help Russell Weston on his journey, send emails to oursilentfootsteps@gmail.com

Traders gather to air anger over CBD works

SOLICITORS CONVEYANCING Over 40 years local experience

Competitive Rates

By ANNIKA SMETHURST AN angry crowd gathered at the R L Campbell Theatrette on Tuesday night to express their disapproval about proposed changes to Mitchell Street. The 80-strong group consisting mainly of CBD traders were invited to the public forum where six options for the intersection of Hargreaves and Mitchell streets were presented. All of the options provide no alternative for the rest of Mitchell Street, with plans to widen the footpath and reduce traffic to a single lane around bus stops a key feature of all six designs. Council presentation and assets director Jos Duivenvoorden explained the plans to the meeting which became heated as traders clashed with council representatives over the transparency of the project. Traders including Norm Quin from Quin’s Bluebird, My Hair’s Maree Smith and Gold Rush Jewellers’ Graeme Baker all spoke against the development. Mr Duivenvoorden said the works would cause minimal disruption to the CBD and said the Mitchell Street works would not run with any other redevelopment in the CBD including Williamson Street, Bath Lane or the Hargreaves Mall works. “All our options minimise space for traffic and maximise space for Clien t pedestrians,” he said. “If we are not doing what our community wants, we’ll pull the SHED CITY won’t do it.” plug and Most in the audience spoke

Call to arms as traders fight changes

n From Page 1 “It is certainly up to traders to make their feelings known. “If they don’t want it to go ahead they should be standing up and saying that. “If they support the changes they should also be standing up and saying that.” The council has shown some signs of bending for the first time. Acting council chief executive officer Stan Liacos said the time for feedback was now. “All options are being considered,” he said. “We genuinely are open minded to re-

ceiving other proposals. “Now is the opportunity for traders and others in the community to do so. “If someone has a better suggestion we would love to receive it, and all options will be considered.” Liberal Party Northern Victoria Upper House member Wendy Lovell has launched a petition calling on the state government to address the issue. The petition will be distributed by the BTA to CBD businesses. Mr Athorn said it was important traders were consulted more this time around than they were when the current plans were being developed.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 3, 2009

Flat residents look to the future KANGAROO Flat residents have been encouraged to help develop a community plan for their area. City of Greater Bendigo Kangaroo Flat Ward councillor Barry Lyons said the Kangaroo Flat Community Enterprise was working to develop the plan, which would play an important role in guiding the future of the local community. “The first step in developing this plan is for local residents to take some time to fill out the survey that will soon be delivered to homes in the Kangaroo Flat area,” he said. “This is a really exciting time for the Kangaroo Flat residents and a good opportunity for them to put forward their views for the future of the area and contribute to a plan that will belong to the local community.”

THINKING AHEAD: Simon Marwood and Cr Barry Lyons. Photo: VICKI HARRINGTON.

Cr Lyons said when completed, the community plan would include a prioritised list of actions the community agreed to and was prepared to act on. Member of the Kangaroo Flat Community Enterprise Geoff Bowyer also urged residents to complete the survey and attend one of two community visioning workshops at 1.30pm and 6.30pm at the Kangaroo Flat Sports Club on Thursday, July 23. “Having a day and an evening session will ensure all residents have the maximum opportunity to participate,” he said. “We want the community plan to be the vision of the whole community so both the survey and the feedback we gather at the community workshops will play a critical role in

developing a blueprint for Kangaroo Flat.” Mr Bowyer said in an effort to keep all residents informed of activities taking place and the progress of the plan, the working group would also provide regular updates through the Kangaroo Flat Enterprise Network website www.kfce.com.au “Kangaroo Flat residents are urged to get involved as this is a terrific opportunity for everyone to have their say in how and what they want our community to be in the future,” Mr Bowyer said. The survey can be returned using the reply paid section on or before July 17. Copies of the survey are also available from the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre, Kangaroo Flat Sports Club and on-line at www.kfce.com. au

FUNDS: Kim Polglase and Keith Sutherland hand over the cheque to Salvation Army Divisional Commander Major Graeme Rigley and Territorial Commander James Knaggs.

Fightback fund hands over charity cash IT was a big cheque, but it was also a big amount of money. The Bendigo community opened their hearts and their wallets to the local victims of the Black Saturday fires, raising more than $400,000 at the February 27 auction. The Bendigo Bushfire Fightback Appeal saw businesses and the community come together as one and the final, but happy, task of the appeal has been played out. Charity auction organiser Keith Sutherland presented the cheque to the local Salvation Army office last week. Mr Sutherland said the appeal, organised in conjunction with the

Real Estate Institute of Victoria, was unlike anything he had ever seen, with more that 320 items donated. “We hope those families affected by the fires in Eaglehawk and Redesdale can be assured that they are not forgotten by the Bendigo community as we all feel their pain,” he said. “It was a wonderful opportunity for the public to show their support by being there on the night, by purchasing a ticket for $50, with all funds going to the Salvation Army to be distributed locally. “All money raised remains locally to help Bendigo and Redesdale people.”

Mr Sutherland said despite tough economic times, people were lining up to help and to donate. “This was without doubt one of the biggest disasters Australia has ever faced,” he said. “The needs were and are enormous, and the response from Bendigo was enormous as well. “We were inundated with people wanting to contribute in some way. “The generosity of donors and the contribution of all Bendigo real estate offices and Bendigo businesses made it rewarding to have been part of the teamwork which contributed to another successful fundraising event in Bendigo.”

Letters to editor

Making waves with ...

Cogho, Shaz and Anthony Radford Cog – Welcome Anthony. This issue of Mitchell Street won’t go away. What is the latest? AR – We were at the public meeting last night (Tuesday) between traders, the general public and council, and there were a lot of people there who were quite vocal about their views. It was a good discussion. Cog – What was the feeling like there, Anthony, because it is controversial. When I heard about the one-lane thing, I must admit, I felt like playing Benny Hill music, and the council are going to hate me for saying that. AR – We ran a cartoon last week as a tribute called On the Buses, if you remember the old British comedy with Reg Varney. It was a pretty tense meeting. Both sides were unwilling to move and kept butting heads all night. There was a vote of no confidence in putting the buses in the left-hand-lane and a vote of concern none of the local members of parliament were at the meeting. There doesn’t seem to be a compromise in sight for this. Cog – Where would you like it to end? What are your thoughts? AR – I think the council is stuck in the middle of a rock and a hard place. It wants to do what its residents want it to do, but is being told by the government, who is also offering nearly $1 million, to do a totally different thing. Shaz – We spoke last week about not having all the buses in the one spot, maybe spreading them around the CBD. Was that brought up at all? AR – Those options and ideas were talked about, but it kept coming back to council engineers having done this work and looked at all the options and they believe this is the best one.

It is time to stop the political posturing I notice that in commenting on the Hargreaves Mall plan Bob Cameron twice refered to Kevin Gibbins as the Liberal mayor of Bendigo. Cr Gibbins is not a member of the Liberal Party and was not elected mayor as a member of that party. But even if he were a member of the Liberal Party his views and those of other councillors, whatever their political associations, should be treated on their merits, not on the basis of an alleged political connection. Bendigo, right now, is in the unfortunate position that we have two local state ministers, Bob Cameron and Jacinta Allan, both of whom regularly resort to this kind of attempted political smearing instead of tackling the real issues associated with our council. After seven years of increasing negative assessments by ratepayers it must be clear to everyone that council needs some major structural reform. Bendigo continues to fester on instead of prospering. A publicly-elected mayor and deputy, three councillors with no wards, all being properly paid and trained, with several research officers reporting to the mayor would provide a good start. It would certainly be an issue to put to a referendum of ratepayers. For goodness sake Mr Cameron, and Ms Allan, stop your tiresome political posturing and do something positive for our council and its community. Neil Clark Randwick, NSW

Council now at its lowest point THE City of Greater Bendigo council’s latest satisfaction survey saw a continuation of its over all downward slide and we believe the next could invariably see this council at the lowest point ever.

pable and parking made only worse, while all the time we see projects considerably over time – such as the mall, by years, due to be completed in 2007 – and the complete failure of our council and its executive to deliver these on budget have seen millions unnecessarily added to the costs. At the council meeting

on June 17 a discrepancy of $155,000 as a part of the budget was raised and the response from a council officer was this amount was of little consequence, it is easy to see their attitude when it is someone else’s money. The city continues to grow at around 1.6 per cent each year so why are we increasing council’s wage bill by 5.6 per cent, why since amalgamation ended our city has grown by around 15 per cent and yet we believe the wage bill has more than doubled and the same can be said for operating expenses and motor vehicles. Tourism and arts are an important part of our city and yet when the council talk visitor numbers they estimate only as it is no more than a guess We simply do not know as we don’t count cars and people coming in and out of our city let alone stop them and ask the nature of their visit. To spend $15.5 million on this as a unknown against $12.1 million on what we actually do know, which is the state of our urban and rural roads is ridiculous. It is time the council and ex-

ecutive get on top of projects and stop wasting millions each year on consultants. The simple answer is if we as a city do not have the people to do the job well then we need to replace them with those who can. Stuart Symes, Epsom.

They don’t mind and we don’t matter The previous and current council have debacles they have left or have currently under construction and have others they are about to create at their glory and at ratepayers’ expense. Could one suggest they operate and have for many years on the mind over matter theme. That is: They don’t mind and the business people and ratepayers don’t matter. Frank Ward, Golden Square.

View Point

Council must work for community ONE of the main issues the previous City of Greater Bendigo council was heavily criticised for was its perceived lack of advocacy. The community, both anecdotally and through the annual state government surveys, believed the council did not stand up for them. They believed it did not put the community’s thoughts, concerns and wishes at the forefront of all council’s decisions and lobbying. While most of the current councillors campaigned strongly for more advocacy during last year’s elections, the Mitchell Street bus stop controversy is seeing them attract similar criticism. When the bus issue first raised its head publicly last year, the traders and the council were up in arms. There were harsh words said at private meetings between the council and the Department of Transport officials as it became clear the new bus routes were affecting business and the aesthetics of Mitchell Street. For all the huffing and puffing of people like former Sandhurst Ward councillor Wayne Gregson, things remained the same. The government didn’t budge and the council had little power. The council and the traders had to swallow the bitter pill of increased bus and pedestrian traffic and congestion. However, there was a glimmer of hope. All parties were working towards a solution

Bendigo Weekly

Editorial Comment to try to limit the impact. Would it be re-routing some buses around the CBD, investigating the years-old plans to build a bigger terminal at the railway station or re-instating the Hargreaves Street stops. Enter the new council and a muchhyped new era of advocacy. A stakeholder’s committee included council staff, DoT and only two traders. In the end, the two traders were seemingly simply presented with the outcomes, rather than included in design or policy discussions. The state government then offered $900,000 to pay for the first stage of the solution. This information was revealed in the draft budget, which was released weeks before council voted to accept the money. The money vote was then taken without any councillor talking to a DoT representative about the project, let alone about other options. Months earlier, when the Bendigo Weekly first revealed the plans, council staff told us the documents were only options and nothing had been finalised. The released

Letters to the editor Treat all as equals no matter their station ROB HUNT doesn’t need my vote and or congratulations, he is aware of his worth. His management style and philosophy is nothing new. Treat all people as equals, no matter what their station in life. He managed to obtain effective results through the efforts of his people. This is acheived by the creation of effective systems, policies and procedures to assist management. This saves the manager from spending a large part of his time dealing with the result of downgrading incidents or problems which is not cost effective or good for the organisation. Perhaps he may run for council.

Have a great retirement Mr Hunt. Bill Collier, Golden Square.

Time to speak up before school changes take place Give the kids a chance to grow up. There has been a lot of talk about the amalgamation of primary schools throughout the state, even consolidating primary and secondary schools from Preps to Year 10. Is this really the way to go? I believe this should not be allowed to happen. It is a daunting experience starting or attending primary school in the formative years even with the schools being the size they are now, without doubling or tripling their current size, not to mention the risk

of losing the familiarity between teachers and students which is paramount to the learning. Another factor, particularly for rural cities and large towns, is the absolute bedlam when parents are dropping off and picking up the kids. It is chaos now, and multiplied by two or three will be a disaster. Also, bullying is certainly a big issue in schools. Can you imagine an early primary child mixing it with secondary kids in the playground? It would be frightening. This should not be allowed to happen.

Lodge marks its anniversary

By ANNIKA SMETHURST MORE than 100 guests celebrated the Bendigo and District Daylight Masonic Lodge’s silver anniversary earlier this month. Guests enjoyed a full day of activities including guest speakers and an installation banquet. Right Worship Brother Trevor Burkett PSGW president of the Board of Benevolence, oversaw the transition from retiring Worship Master Eric Cairnes to the original Foundation Master from 1983, Right Worship

Brother Bill Clarke. Worship Gary Sebo acted as the representative for the Grand Master entertaining the crowd and assisting in the day’s proceedings. Founding member and Worshipfull Master Bill Clarke said the day far exceeded expectations. “It was a great day, we didn’t leave until late afternoon,” Mr Clarke said. “Everyone seemed to have an enjoyable day and it was great to have the three founding members and three widows recognised during the celebrations.”

Representatives from local and district lodges also attended the 25 year anniversary luncheon. New Worshipful Master Bill Clarke said the theme for his year in office will be based on communication, welfare and recruitment with a strong focus on renewing a local interest in the Masonic Lodge. “Each meeting will include a social and educational aspect,” Mr Clarke said. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month at 10am. For further information contact Bill on 5447 8488

Food fossickers with Michele and Nicole

email: foodfossickers@bendigoweekly.com.au

Time to discover local gold By Michele Martin I HAVE always been passionate about food and about meeting others who get excited by it and its possibilities. I love the discovery of finding something new; a new flavour or aroma. I love to meet the people who make the food. When you get them talking about their products, you get to see the passion behind the finished product. And I love learning about how it’s made. One memorable person was Ann-Marie Monda from Holy Goat Cheese who I met this week.

We talked passionately about community and local and seasonal food. We talked about how as a culture we don’t buy enough local produce. This was documented in ground-breaking research conducted in 2007. The study, Food Miles in Australia produced by Ceres, found an average quantity of groceries in Victoria has travelled 70,803 kilometres before reaching the shopping trolley. That is equivalent to traveling nearly twice around the circumference of the earth, or travelling around Australia’s coastline three times. That’s outrageous.

A household brand of sausage sources its pork from Denmark, so by the time the sausage hits our shopping trolley it has travelled about 25,150 to get to Bendigo. And that sausage is not a memorable one. I can think of some Bendigo butchers who do a fantastic sausage which wouldn’t have 100km under their skin. Some cultures really embrace regional food – the French are fanatical about it. This week I was given a lovely present. The book is about a passion close to my heart, farmers’ markets. In the opening pages of The

The term Holy Goat Cheese, for me, once sprung to mind a scene from a Batman movie, but not anymore. Not normally open to the public, Michele and I used our new powers as Food fossickers to get through the gates to the farm this week. Now, these are no normal gates, they are the entrance to the property of this year’s Vogue Magazine E and T National Producers of the Year – not to mention the home of the goats that this year knocked the cows off their high perches and took home the Sydney Royal Show’s Grand Champion Cheese award. Their La Luna cheese is the first goats’ cheese to ever win the overall award. Carla Meurs and Ann-Marie Monda are bringing fame to central Victoria and barely a Bendigonian knows about it. It’s a bit embarrassing to hear of the sales figures in Castlemaine compared to Bendigo. They must be able to taste the difference in cheeses made from these beautiful organically-certified goats (still love them even though the love and attention meant a smashed mobile). Carlos the stud may not be able to produce milk but he’s the cockiest looking stud I’ve seen. The goats on their farm have

free range access to a rich variety of predominately native grasses, herbs and shrubs which produce cheeses with unique flavour. They keep their herd small to ensure the native pastures are preserved and there are notable differences in the cheeses that reflect the changes in the seasons. Carla and Ann-Marie are running the most beautiful, ethical farm I can think of and it’s a pleasure to see such passion in doses. I hope Bendigo discovers them before they get too famous and we can’t get hold of their cheese as they have no intention

of quadrupling the size of their business.

Works better if you can place it in the freezer to make it really hard as it’s not quite as easy making praline without the sugar (no sugar cane is grown in Victoria). When cool, crush and put aside. To keep this job clean, put in sandwich bag and crush with rolling pin. Meanwhile, cover the sliced pears with half the orange juice to prevent browning.

By ANNIKA SMETHURST THE Bendigo community is invited to celebrate the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the region during this year’s National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee Week. NAIDOC week is a national event held every July primarily providing an opportunity to raise awareness about indigenous communities but also celebrating Australian life. Celebrations kick off on Sunday with a special screening of Baz Luhrmann’s epic Australia, which deals with racism and the stolen generation between 1939 and 1941. Three flag-raising ceremonies will take place the following day with the first to be hosted by the City of Greater Bendigo in the Library Gardens. The free event will include morning tea followed by performances by Hank Kerr and local elders with indigenous dancers. A trivia night focussing

on Indigenous history, culture and current events will take place on Monday from 7pm in the Platinum Room at the Foundry Hotel. Hosted by St Luke’s Anglicare teams of six will challenge each other for the title of NAIDOC quiz champions. NAIDOC week will also provide an opportunity for Bendigonians to see some nationally-recognised artists. Country music star Anne Conway will perform in the Library Gradens from noon on Tuesday. If art is more your style, indiginous artist Gayle Maddigan will present a talk about her work, School Yard, which is on display at the Bendigo Art Gallery. The session is free and will start at 11am on Wednesday at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Young Gunditjmara singer songwriter Jayden Lillyst will perform at a free barbecue lunch next Friday at the DSE office (bookings advisable). NAIDOC week also provides an opportunity for children to learn more

about indigenous communities. A Koori culture day will be held on Wednesday from 1.30pm with dance, music and stories sure to keep the kids entertained these school holidays. For older children, a black light youth disco will be held from 6.30pm ofnFriday, July 10 at the Uniting Church Hall in Forest Street. DJ Sam Nolan will keep the tunes coming with many competitions taking place throughout the night. The week will conclude with the annual Bendigo NAIDOC dinner and awards night in the Platinum Room at the Foundry. The night will include entertainment from DJ Toondah McGee and Anne Conway followed by the presentation of the 2009 Bendigo and district Aboriginal Co-operative Awards. Tickets are $55. To purchase tickets or for further information on any of these events contact the Bendigo NAIDOC committee on 5442 4947.

A spirited gathering A COUPLE of weeks ago I went to the psychic expo at Kangaroo Flat. They knew I was going to be there. Well, the Tarot card readers did. I shuffled past the varied decks and was dealt a blow. They were all busy. Full house. To say the expo was popular is an understatement. In among the massages and candles there were smiling exhibitors. Nothing like a happy medium to brighten the day. I didn’t feel up to a oneto-one consultation so I sat on the stage in the audience. I’ve always been attracted to the stage. Maybe I’d been an actor in a past life. I tell you I was in the right place to find out. The past life exploration service was offered. Once again I wasn’t brave enough to be “regressed” as they call it. Thinking back to my teens is way far enough. But it did get me thinking, what would you do with the information? Would it affect the way you dealt with things in your present existence?

There were people at the show who could see this without the equipment. How weird must that be? I’m sorry about all of these questions, but I was really into the unknown here. I’ll say one thing – it was a totally peaceful environment in Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre. Wafts of insence eased the way. So back to the stage. Shirlee from Frankston told us about her life with second sight and passed on information from friends and family who had passed. I sat there expectantly waiting for a message from beyond. I would have been scared stiff if they had, to tell the truth, but I waited ... in vain. No message. That soon changed. As I walked out my phone vibrated as a text came in bringing me back to the real world. When you think of it, mobile phones are no stranger than talking to a medium. A disembodied voice, an unintellible message, and depending who it is, downright scary. The fees are about the same too.

day, perhaps they had some mystical properties along with the gemstones and angels. The visitors to the expo were mostly women while I was there, so I guess that was a fair reflection of the weekend. Are men too cynical to find out about these matters? Purple was definitely the colour to be seen in. Seeking refreshment I went to the food and drink stall and asked for a gin and tonic to steady my nerve, “sorry we don’t serve spirits here,” I was told. The unseen visitors flocking around the mediums had to settle for lemonade. In crystal of course. All-in-all it was interesting to see, perhaps there was one part that I didn’t quite grasp. Aura photography. Without wishing to disbelieve, I was amazed by a contraption set up to record, for posterity, your aura. Think of a portrait set in wispy light balls, smoky indistinct and colourful. They were read too. All part of the service. What does it mean? Once again, do you really want to know you are emanating this glow?

BENDIGO Bank’s Community Enterprise Foundation and Futuris Corporation this week announced funding of $350,000 to assist reconstruction of fencing in communities affected by the February Black Saturday bushfires. More than 22,000 kilometers of perimeter fencing was lost across Victoria, having a major impact on local primary producers who require basic infrastructure such as fencing to help them to re-stock and keep their businesses and livelihoods running. Foundation head Callum Wright said the staff and customers of Futuris donated more than $100,000 to the Bushfire Appeal, which the company matched with in-kind equivalent value of fencing materials. “The community’s response to those affected by the Victorian bushfires has been incredible, with more than $7.5 million raised by our customers and the public so

far,” Mr Wright said. “And it is fantastic we are now able to start handing out the funds and hope the grants will help communities like Redesdale, the Yarra Ranges and Marysville begin to return to the way of life they knew before the bushfires.” The fencing program will start in Redesdale, with Elders and Conservation Volunteers Australia coordinating and erecting fencing in three fire affected communities – Redesdale, the Yarra Ranges and Marysville. Ken Beasley of CVA said the project was a great opportunity to get together to assist devastated parts of Victoria. “The fencing program was about helping and healing, but also leaving a lasting legacy, with all the groups involved assisting in rebuilding vital infrastructure,” he said. “Everyone is keen to do what they can and at the moment one of the best ways we can help is by

working to assist fire-affected communities in a practical way.” Mr Wright said the foundation was also working closely with fireaffected communities to distribute more of the funds raised during the appeal. “We are conscious of the community engagement consultation and planning processes that need to be undertaken, and will work with the Bendigo Bank’s Community Bank partners to identify projects and distribute funding in conjunction with local fire recovery committees and reconstruction plans,” he said. Community Enterprise Foundation continues to take donations towards the Bushfire Appeal at any branch of the Bendigo Bank or online at www.bendigobank.com.au/ foundation. People wishing to volunteer assistance to the re-fencing activities in Redesdale can contact Karl Metcalf on 5423 4132 or 0437 274 500.

A plethora of detail comes to light

Development adds to wealth Last week I spent some time explaining how the KK Mine became part of the United Hustler’s and Redan Company’s lease in 1892, when it was taken over. The KK Mine was stripped and a larger plant erected over the now bigger shaft. The expense incurred was soon recouped by the parent company and helped to allow dividends to be paid to the shareholders as a result. The investment had been most worthwhile, as the original KK Company had not had sufficient capital to mine at a greater depth, where once again, near the surface, rich reefs were uncovered. The late Albert Richardson who had been a mine engine driver, had in his youth measured the height of the KK’s poppet head and recorded it as 18.5 metres. Richardson even recorded the capacity of the baling tanks used in dewatering, they held 972 litres. One of the company’s auditors, Joseph Kirkby, aged 55, passed away on August 27, 1896; his position was filled by Frank Wells. Richard Cornish the mine manager at the time was able to report the company was working small but rich formations, they were also doing a great deal of development work and im-

with James Lerk proving the ventilation. During this period mine inspectors were particularly vigilant in the matter of good ventilation underground. The lack of it had been proved to be the major source for miners contracting miner’s phthisis, or dust on the lungs. This insidious problem had caused more deaths in Bendigo than any other single factor in the mining industry. Abraham Roberts and Sons foundry and engineering works were successful in having their tender for new steel poppet heads accepted. The new poppet heads were of lattice design and were erected in 1898 over the United Hustler’s and Redan Mine shaft. The contract for the supply of the 21.6 metre high

GRAND TIMES: The open steel lattice poppet head and engine house of the United Hustler and Redan Mine.

poppet head was £485. Upon the completion of the steel poppet head, the shaft was sunk to a greater depth. Interestingly, during my research I discovered the company borrowed £1000 from the successful Garden Gully and United Company; which was situated where the hockey complex is today. I have not been able to determine the reason for this loan; however I can only surmise it was one way of obtaining finance if the bank was unwilling to increase the level of the company’s overdraft. Today we can read financial analysis of companies’ performances, in the same

way in the past there was commentary on how particular mining enterprises and other public companies were conducting their work. One analyst stated: “directors have a progressive policy which is to be commended.” Comments such as this, no doubt, were a great comfort to the shareholders of the United Hustler’s and Redan . By August 1904 a contract was completed by Harkness Victoria Foundry of Shamrock Street, next door to the Foundry Arms Hotel, for the supply of a large new air compressor. The brick foundations for this compressor are large-

ly intact at the site of the former United Hustler’s and Redan Mine. Richard Cornish, the mine manager, was developing the mine in a systematic and logical manner, however the reefs mined were more confined and of lesser yield. This resulted in the company sometimes making calls on the shareholders then oscillating to paying dividends. Albert Richardson, a stickler for detail in recording physical aspects of Bendigo’s mines, noted the United Hustler’s and Redan Mine’s shaft was 3.04 metres by 1.06 metres sunk across the line of reef. The quartz chutes were

located on the western side of the poppet head and were made from old boiler shells. Most of the mullock from underground was tipped on the northern and eastern sides of the poppet head. As was common with the majority of Bendigo mines, the engine house was on the southern side of the shaft. The winder was a first motion loose eccentric type which Richardson observed was most unusual, all the loose eccentric engines he had seen were geared. This helps to make the existing foundations still remaining on the site particularly significant.

THE OVEN GENIE OVENS

BBQ’S

RANGEHOODS

Whenever anyone mentions oven cleaning, it usually prompts a disappearing act. This is when we need a magical genie to do the job for us, luckily Bendigo has an oven genie just for you. It is called the Genie-cleaning Pod, an exciting new Bendigo designed and developed oven cleaning system. Gone are the days when the messy task of cleaning your oven shelves and racks is carried out in your driveway or backyard. This new state of the art domestic oven cleaning system ensures all items are cleaned perfectly in the privacy of your kitchen, regardless of the weather condition. Oven racks, shelf brackets, fan covers and other removable items from the oven can be cleaned and returned to their original sparkling condition while the oven interior is cleaned. There are three stages of the clean, beginning with a pre-clean, then a main clean, followed by a spot clean and final rinse. This is done without the cleaner continuously tramping inside and out over carpets, each time leaving a trail behind him, particularly in wet and damp weather. The oven cleaning technician arrives, sets up, cleans the oven and fixtures and leaves entering the house only once. Just as you would imagine a magical genie would do, with no mess, no fuss and no odour.

SHORT STORIES

Mystery man adds a new chapter Rohan Davey has branched out as a writer bringing private detective Rick Dunlop to life... A silhouette of a young man looms within an urban landscape, eyes shaded by dark glasses, head turned furtively to the side as if eavesdropping or alerted to another’s presence. This is the scene depicted on the front cover of Rohan Davey’s first published novel, Rick Dunlop Cases, The Maclay Murder and Other Mysteries. The Maclay Murder is one of five punchy detective mysteries compiled in to a 162-page paperback. Just inside the cover is a dedication to Senior Sergeant. J. Andrews, a local Bendigo policeman. So who is RM Davey? Is he a disgruntled ex-cop having a stab at the boys in blue in the guise of fictitious private detective Rick Dunlop? Hate to blow his cover but Rohan Morgan Davey is a 23 year old who only started writing two or three years after leaving Bendigo Senior Secondary College. “Not with flying colours or anything,” he said. “I read quite a bit through school, whenever I had a break between classes I read. “I did like English but didn’t do any writing courses or things like that.” Rohan’s writing career began when he got a laptop for Christmas, he said there was nothing on it but a word program. “So I decided to write something when

SHORT STORIES DARKER SIDE: RM Davey. Photos: ANDREW PERRYMAN

said he was not a gambler, nor has he any ambitions of becoming one. So, it begs the question, how does he manage to create such authenticity. “A lot of people have asked me that,” he said. “I haven’t had anything to do with casinos. It is purely fictional, I write to make it believable but in fact none of that stuff I know to be true. “There’s nothing you can’t find on the internet, and it’s cheaper,” he laughed. Defying his nonchalant attitude, Rohan has managed to win over a publisher in a relatively short time. “I sent out a query letter to about 12 different publishers and I got a positive response from about eight of them,” he said. “When I say positive, the manuscript is then left sitting on their desks for about three months, then

A and A Book Publishing contacted me. Rohan learnt how to go about having his work published when he attended a presentation in Maldon. “A writer from the Blue Mountains was invited to give a talk in Maldon,” he said. “It was a government initiative to fund a writer to go around regional Victoria to speak to other aspiring writers. “I wasn’t 100 per cent sure my work was publishable and I wanted

to speak to him and find out what he thought, before I spent several weekends at home trying to finish it off. “He advised me to send it out there so I did, to see what sort of response I got.” “He suggested I send out a query letter,” said Rohan, “it is considered more direct. “You just send out a snippet of the book that might be catchy, then something about the book, then about yourself. And if someone within the publishing company likes it, they will ask you to send it directly to them.” Handing over his work to publishers has been a big learning curve for Rohan. He said after having his book accepted, the publisher wanted to make changes. “In the first story I sent, there was a story about scientologists and I thought it worked out brilliantly, but two months before print I was told that the publishers could get done for defamation.” “Needless to say, that story is no longer in the book. “I also wanted to market my book with a young adult market in mind, but I was told that it couldn’t be marketed to young adults because they felt the themes were too strong.” Rohan’s stories certainly smack of the author’s desire to shock, however they offer a fresh approach to a traditional genre. He pushes the boundaries of societal mores, is politically incorrect and sexually deviant yet marries the age-old tradition of the mystery plot with carefree depravity and humour. He is delightfully uninhibited about his strong themes and very

nonchalant about his recent success. He compared it to buying a car used by actors Gary McDonald and Ruth Cracknell in the ABC’s Mother and Son series.

“I was so excited when I was bidding on the phone at the ABC auction, the adrenalin was pumping and now, although I know Ruth sat in that car, the initial excitement has somewhat dissipated.”

t is the time of the year to make sure all your outdoor equipment is in apple pie order. You want to be able to start and finish the job ahead, without any annoying stoppages or worse, breakages. Gary and Robyn Moar of Moar Small Engines, Windmills and Bore pumps in Epsom, are wise in the ways of repairs, service and maintenance, and Gary says he is seeing a lot of tired chainsaws at present. they just need a bit of tLC and the owners take them home looking and working like new again. “We supply and repair Southern Cross Varco windmills, mono pumps and Davey submersible bore pumps; in fact any make or model. It is wise to have your windmills and pumps looked at regularly so they are ready for anything.” Gary also inspects fan nuts and bolts, checks the oil, and will only charge the normal hourly rate for any service call. He

says like most things mechanical, an ounce of prevention will well and truly pay off. “I carry out maintenance or fix it as new, and you get many more years of faithful service from it. As well as windmills and bores, we repair lawn mowers, brush cutters, chain saws, whipper snippers, augurs, small petrol pumps, sludge pumps; in fact anything with a petrol driven engine,” said Gary. “We now have a range of Honda, Briggs and Stratton powered lawn mowers, also brushcutters and lawn mowers as well as various Atom products,” said Robyn. Moar Small Engines, Windmills and Bore Pumps, will do farm repairs, on site service and maintenance and is also available for sub contracting work. You’ll find them at 149 Midland Highway, just past the ‘Epsom Mile’, next door to KV Equipment at Epsom. Give them a call on 5448 3711 and have a chat.

Approval a major part Home buying made simple of the building process A Planning rules and regulations are designed to protect the public and the home owner alike...

hen we look at building anything on our property we often need to go through an approval process. This is often broken up into three categories. Firstly many of our inner city suburbs are covered with a heritage overlay or are heritage listed. Talking with the heritage advisor is the first step as they look at the nature of the works or the design which may impact on the overall streetscape of the area.

When the work has been completed ... they issue a certificate of occupancy

The second step may be a planning application which is submitted to council. Applications usually are submitted with fees attached, which is an area that many people generally complain about, feeling as though council is simply lining its pockets. However, this is not true, in fact in understanding all of the things they do check for you makes it worth every cent. For a start there is a standard set of building regulations in Australia that

ross batson governs most building design principals. Take heights on boundaries for example, this may seem of minor concern but it will stop a neighbour building too high on a boundary blocking the light in your home or garden, or the overlooking issues with windows that look down on you taking away the privacy in your backyard. There are 193 comprehensive pages of logical rules in the regulations that need to be applied to all applications Then the final and most important one is the building permit, which is issued after the plans have been scrutinised for its accuracy in detailing all of the finer building points. Covering things like the types of timbers to be used, the height of steps and railings, fences around pools and spas, even the location of fire alarms. This permit often requires engineers reports and soil tests. The building permit also covers site inspections which are carried out throughout the build to check building standards are met, this is done to ensure the building complies with the plans and the regulations. When the work has been completed to the inspector’s satisfaction they issue a certificate of occupancy or final inspection. There are sometimes other site specific applications that need addressing and have to be dealt with accordingly. In all, these processes are designed to protect the public and the home owner alike with a well documented and scrutinised plan for all building work.

ffordability is an issue facing all potential home buyers but Metricon has solutions. Recent development and building industry figures confirm that Victoria has some of the most affordable new home and land packages in Australia. Metricon’s home and land packages present some of the best options for young families looking to scale up from their existing property, or for first home buyers wanting to break into the market. According to Metricon’s regional north sales and marketing manager, Bruno Catanzariti suggests Metricon offers customers fixed priced house and land packages across some of the leading estates in Melbourne. “This takes the pressure off individuals on tight budgets needing to factor in unforeseen expenses such as site costs,” Bruno said. Land size is also a factor affecting affordability and Metricon’s design team is at the forefront of delivering smarter design solutions for smaller allotments. “The cocktail of soaring house prices combined with demand pressures has sparked builders to come up with more innovative offerings. We have responded with designs that are suitable for narrow allotments, depending on your needs, we can provide you with a home that will complement your land. All of these homes boast beautiful open plans and modern finishes, available with a number of facades and suit a range of block sizes from 11.5 metres wide.

The new business model for the housing industry is about making more use of whatever space is available and we feel we have nailed this by offering options to customers where they can save on land, without compromising on space or quality of lifestyle. With this in mind our design team introduced a new range of products last month called Allegra. Allegra by Metricon is about style made simple. This really is a breakthrough in affordable home ownership with designs starting as low as $128,300 – the Turin 16, which offers three bedrooms, two bath rooms and a single car garage. Allegra consists of eight designs and is perfect for those wishing to enter the market, or people looking for an investment. Also Metricon are currently topping up the first home buyers grant to an impressive $50,000 within regional Victoria. The announcement made early this year by the Federal Government to continue with the increased first home buyers grant was very encouraging and extremely timely in a tougher housing market. We know, as a fastgrowing state, that we need to keep supply up with demand, so this sort of stimulus for first-home buyers is very welcome. Our objective is to make home ownership more accessible for thousands of new home buyers, many of whom have been shut out of the market last year by affordability concerns,” Bruno concluded.

Testimonial: The Dean Family

Testimonial: The Stebbins Family One of the biggest investments in our lives would have to be the building of our home. So we wanted to make sure it was done right the first time. That is why we ending up choosing Glen Loddon Homes. The decision was made easy after we visited the display home and first met Kellie. It was a start of a wonderful journey that made building our house so easy. We were always welcomed like one of the family and the kids had a great time playing with the toys provided. The Glen Loddon team was just as excited about our house as we were. During the building process we were very lucky to

have Murray, who I am sure was sick of hearing from us but was always happy to answer questions, even as silly as they seemed. We often look back on our journey and have wonderful memories that are only possible because of Glen Loddon Homes. We would fully recommend them and if we ever build again we will be giving Kellie a call. Thank you, Donna and Chris Stebbins

We went to Glen Loddon Homes in our quest to build our DREAM HOME. Right from the start they were fantastic; the whole team there is just great to deal with. They had plenty of house plans and designs for us to look at and were more than happy for us to throw our own plans and ideas in. This was great as I’m a quadriplegic and needed some purpose built things designed into our home. They have had previous experience building houses for people with disabilities which was a great help. From start to finish they were professional and pleasant to deal with, and nothing was too hard for

them. At the start it seemed daunting with choosing colors and fittings and things but they have a great show room and pictures and consultants that help along the way to make all the hard decisions easier. All the tradesmen, consultants and workers were easy to talk to and all works were of a very high standard. We were kept informed, involved and up to date on every stage. The house was completed on time including some of the changes and extra things

that we added along the way. In the end, thanks to Glen Loddon Homes we are living in our DREAM HOME and could not be happier or prouder of our home. Any one looking to build a new home, we recommend they use Glen Loddon Homes for a hassle free exciting experience. Thank you, Jason and Shannon Dean

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 3, 2009

Great views, stylish living, all conveniences

his solid brick, twostorey home with all family conveniences presents very well. It has a rendered façade and water-wise front landscaping utilising river stones, a water feature and a horseshoe driveway looks very smart. Situated on a rise with Crown Land behind, the house offers fantastic views, especially from the upstairs rooms and full length balcony. There are four bedrooms, two upstairs and two down, three of which

have walk-in robes and ceiling fans. A slate brick floor is an eyecatching feature in the entry, which also includes the timber staircase. A large rumpus/ living room with two sets of bi-fold doors also has sliding glass doors leading out to the alfresco area. The laundry completes the downstairs and houses a shower stall and a separate toilet. Upstairs there is a threepiece bathroom, separate toilet and an open-plan family living

area, which includes a timber kitchen and dining space with an air conditioner, and a lounge room with a gas wall furnace heater. The fully-fenced backyard includes a paved verandah for alfresco entertaining, a swimming pool with riverstone landscaping, a neat lawn and a crushed rock driveway leading to a double carport with a single garage/workshop with power, concrete floor and a roller door behind it.

Beautifully presented home

ith so many homes today embracing smaller allotments, it is refreshing to come across a home that comprises of an abundance of external space (approx. 1 acre zoned residential) to either indulge in outdoor recreation or alternatively, the potential of a 4 block sub-division (STCA). Surrounded on three sides by the Neanger golf links, and situated within an ever-expanding and developing area,

this property affords the possibility of retaining the existing home and sub-dividing the available land (STCA) to seize on future potential investment possibilities. The bedrooms just need a lick of paint whilst the bathroom and kitchen; comfortably utilised as is; would benefit from some modernisation, but to me that just offers the prospect of putting your own stamp on the property. Whilst a train carriage situated to the

rear offers the bonus of extra family space, there is enough shedding available to satisfy anyone’s storage needs with separate 1 bedroom bungalow or home office. Georgia Scutt

deally located within ever-expanding Golden Square, this spacious three-bedroom home offers neutral colouring accented with black detailing adding a stylish touch to the facade, is deceptively spacious from first glance and offers more than expected within. The home offers designated and clearly defined adult and children spaces with the formal living space, master bedroom with walk-in robe and three-piece ensuite, and the spacious study/home office situated

to the front of the home, whilst all family spaces and children’s bedrooms to the rear. The family and meals area overlooked by the modern galley-style kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a huge walk-in pantry, and have the benefit of accessing the external space by French doors out onto the extensive paved entertaining area. The rear yard has been lovingly established to incorporate rows of ornamental Blood Plums framing the space and a

Sizeable value

ow here is value! Easy to maintain, yet not tiny or too minimalist, this modern townhouse is the perfect recipe for retirees or busy professionals who want a little more space than the average unit allows. To begin with, it has three bedrooms, all with built-in robes. The loungeroom is very spacious, with plenty of room for a study area. Open to the meals area, the kitchen contains a good supply of storage cupboards. The hot water system, heating and cooking have the advantage of being gas-fuelled.

There is a bathtub and a shower stall alongside a timber vanity, as well as a separate toilet - further bonuses to unit-dwellers. A little larger than the usual courtyard, a small backyard features terraced garden beds. This makes an ambient backdrop to the alfresco dining area. The single garage has a roller doors, and landscaping around the four-unit enclave is very attractive and wellkept. However, the biggest bonus of all to the purchaser of this property is the close

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

Cancer (June 21 - July 21): You and/or your partner are shifting into a more confrontational place. This could be cleansing for both at best. At worst, there are elements of obsessive thinking and criticism involved. Be intentional about keeping an open mind and don’t insist on black and white answers. If necessary, suggest this point of view to your partner.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): Your relationship to a lover or to children is tense at this time. The “other” is optimistic and dream chasing. Although you appreciate romance, right now it seems a better time for more practical realism in your mind. Beware of sliding into old manipulation routines. It does not become you.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21): It is normal to feel somewhat lethargic and even mildly depressed during the month just prior to one’s birthday. At this time the sun is figuratively at its darkest and we experience a natural low in our annual cycle. Don’t take the dip too seriously. It is a time to rest. Generally fresh inspiration arrives on the heels of the new birthday.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): You have been concentrating attention on helping the world and those around you to a better place. Suddenly it seems as though many around you are challenging the viability of your purpose. Don’t let anyone turn this into a personal criticism. If you let it get under your skin, you are tired and need taking a break. Get some rest.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22): Work and routine flow smoothly until the weekend. Then your mind may shift into an obsessive place. You occasionally confuse what you think with who you are. There are those who will disagree with you later in the week. Just don’t let it become a battle to the death. Your identity is not at stake in this situation.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): This is one of those rare times in which people around you are irritating. You prefer to hang out with your idealism while others keep bringing you down with practical realities. This could actually be a pair of voices quarrelling within your own mind. Drive and handle tools carefully. You are in a low physical dip.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

This is a powerful time to consider your spiritual purpose. It is all too easy for the maya, the things of the material world, to overwhelm every waking minute, leaving no time for the higher goals. If you notice fatigue, disappointment, or depression at this time, stop. Be still and listen for the Voice deep within your soul. It is possible you will be feeling angry and disappointed with yourself or your career. Futuristic changes in the making could be threatening to you. Mechanical objects are not cooperative right now. This is probably the worst it will get this summer. Everything is up from here.

The first half of the week flows smoothly, with positive conditions concerning travel, the law, education or the church. Unfortunately, you are called back to reality by aspects that emphasize the resources you share with others. Controversy may develop and old stories resurrected around this subject.

The situation in your relationship to partner and/or family members is causing you considerable worry. You may feel like throwing down the gauntlet and declaring a war. This could become serious. Think carefully before you act. When we set boundaries with others it is far more effective to do so in a firm, calm manner. Don’t lose your temper.

This is a week in which you will tend to be thinking obsessively. It is an opportunity to learn how to better control your mind. Changes may be occurring in your primary relationship. Let things flow naturally. Don’t jump to conclusions or make problems bigger than they are.

Take every precaution not to abuse your body during this period. Drugs or alcohol could have peculiar side effects that you don’t expect. You may be feeling particularly sensitive and vulnerable to slights, whether real or imagined. If this is so, you have become overtired. Take a mental health day.

Taxation 2009

TAX 2009 The Right Accounting Package Planning is the key issue to selecting a system that is right for your organisation. It will help avoid any costly mistakes, and ensure that experienced personnel have researched your needs, while fully aware of the capabilities and resources of the entity. A package implemented with the correct training will lift staff morale whilst adding to your businesses profile with more efficient processes that produces timely and reliable reports. All the costs need to be considered such as whether the time taken to implement the system, including relevant training, can be incorporated into normal work routines. Does the proposed licence agreement include all the staff that require access to the system and will the package require ongoing support and maintenance on a regular basis? The next major consideration will be the technical side of the package and can it be integrated with your existing systems. Is the package flexible enough to expand with your business needs and is support readily available, not significantly costly, and local? Selection and implementation can be often made simpler if the various users needs are taken into account, along with organisational requirements, while considering the existing systems output. If a documented approach is followed, that includes all the relevant alternatives, then the chance of choosing a system that is not suitable for your organisation will be minimised.

Make Your Oven Shine Make Your Oven Shine is a new Bendigo business and a runaway success for owner-operator Graeme Adamson. And, as you read on, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt you too will be reaching for the phone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and your favourite cookbook. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Of all our household appliances, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the oven, cook top and range hood that get the most build-up,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Graeme, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also the hardest to clean because the build-up is greasy and baked on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard job, and off-the-shelf cleaners can be harsh and difficult to use.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When cooking appliances get grubby they become less efficient and much less enjoyable to use. Same goes for your barbecue, microwave and camping cooker. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expensive to replace, but if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good working order, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but you will need Graeme. Graeme will use eco-friendly Australian made products to clean and restore cooking appliances in your home, rental property or commercial kitchen. Working from a specialised van, he will strip the appliance of racks and accessories then clean them outside, not in your kitchen sink. The applianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shell is cleaned in-situ, with surrounding surfaces covered for protection. Make Your Oven Shine is a fully insured and registered business promising prompt efficient service and competitive prices. Graeme will travel in the Central Victorian area and can provide a cost estimate by phone and a firm estimate before he starts work. Prices will differ depending on your appliances and how many you wish to have cleaned. Bon AppĂŠtit! Make Your Oven Shine. Graeme Adamson. Phone 0428 463 447

Bailey rules out west Hawthorn premiership player Rick Ladson returned from injury to play his 100th game for the Hawks in Perth last weekend. The reliable defender left no stone unturned as he encouraged all family members to cross the Nullabor for his milestone match against the West Coast Eagles. There was no keener family member to make the trek than threeyear-old nephew Bailey Tyrrell. Number 16 in the 2001 AFL draft, Ladson made his debut in Round six of the 2003 season when Hawthorn played Carlton. That year he notched up six games in the seniors and then rapidly became an integral part of the Hawthorn defence which eventually led to the 2008 AFL premiership. On Saturday night at Subiaco Oval in Perth Ladson led little Bailey through the giant Hawthorn cheer squad banner to the roar of the many Hawks fans in the west. The Golden Square youngster also took part in the warm up exercises with the players before the game as part of his journey of a lifetime which he has shared many times over this week with members of his play school group.

Griffin returns Kangaroo Flat triathlete Leon Griffin made a welcome return to elite level competition when he finished second in the Buffalo Springs Ironman championship in the USA last Sunday. Australian athletes filled all three placings in the event which attracted an international class field. Leon said he was thrilled with his performance after a wretched run with injury and has now returned to his training base in Boulder to prepare for his next race on July 12.

On the rebound

The rising stars of the national badminton circuit descended on Bendigo this week for the of the Under 19 Championships. The players began arriving on Monday with the Western Australian contingent among the first to begin their preparations.

All the mainland states are represented in the week-long tournament as well as two teams from New Zealand as players battle it out in the teams event. Competition began following the opening ceremony on Wednesday and concludes with

the CP Maddern Trophy to be decided on Saturday afternoon. The singles championship begins at 9am this Sunday and concludes on Wednesday. Spectators are welcome to watch all the action at the Eaglehawk Badminton Stadium.

USA footy team set to tour From Page 76 n Bendigo YMCA Women in Sport project officer Bianca Rinaldi said the game will be vital for this city as it strives to establish a team in a state wide competition in 2010. “We are in constant contact with the USA officials are they are keen to assist our efforts in establishing a women’s team in this city,” she said. “The tourists are aiming to visit local schools as well as con-

duct a clinic on the day. “We are getting plenty of support locally for the game especially from the Kangaroo Flat Football Club who are providing their facilities and expertise for the game,’’ she said. USA Freedom coach Wayne Kraska said the playing group is looking forward to promoting women’s football on their only visit to a regional area. “Our team is very much looking forward to coming to Bendigo,” he said.

“We will have players from established USA teams like the New York Magpies, Milwaukee Bombers, Denver Bulldogs and Arizona Hawks.” Kraska said seven of the players went to the 2007 Vancouver Games for the football games. “We have been working on this trip to Australia for just on two years and so to play in some of the major capital cities as well as a visit to a country town will be great for our players,’’ he told the Bendigo Weekly.

Cash bonus for sports clubs

ALL SMILES: Ken Yates and Mark Rohde with user group representatives.

Several sporting groups in the Kangaroo Flat region have received a cash boost this week. As part of their continued support for community groups the Kangaroo Flat Sports Club has provided the local sporting community with $60,000 to assist with the operation of the various sporting groups this financial year. That takes the overall tally distributed since 1995 to over $900,000. Beneficiary groups were the local football, netball, bowls, swimming and cricket clubs.

Golden Square will be on the rebound when it tackles the rapidly improving Sandhurst this Saturday. After putting together seven wins in a row Golden Square fell away in the last quarter against South Bendigo last Saturday and will be keen to get back into top form. Sandhurst has some promising young talent being developed this season and could cause plenty of headaches for opposition.

New signing for Zac Bendigo cyclist Zac Dempster has signed to race for Drapac Porsche Cycling. The mid-season transfer took place after Dempster quit Team Bourgas for financial reasons. The 2008 Melbourne to Warrnambool winner is in Europe and plans to return home in time for the Jayco Herald Sun Tour later in the year. Drapac Porsche director Adam Murchie said Dempster would be a great addition to the already impressive road cycling team. “We have been keeping an eye on him for a while now and everything has come together in recent weeks after receiving final confirmation from cycling’s international governing body the Union Cycliste International,’’ he said. Dempster told the Bendigo Weekly he hoped to be back in Bendigo at the end of August.

Umpires busy

cycling

Eddie Barkla

n Local football umpires were stretched to the limit last weekend. Many clubs had to find their own officials as regular umpires were hit hard when the flu hit the ranks prompting one official to describe the situation as the worst he had seen in his time at the local umpires association. We hear on the grapevine that two experienced members were out for rather different reasons. One central umpire enjoyed the arrival of a new family member while a high profile member of the senior panel has had enough of the abuse from over the fence and is taking a break from the sport. Just hope the incident was only a storm in a teacup as without umpires we have no game.

Delivered by pushbike Two hundred years ago on June 26, Australia’s first postmaster collected 36 letters which had just arrived from England. This marked the beginning of Australia’s oldest continually-operating commercial organisation, Australia Post. The first postmaster was Isaac Nichols, a former convict who had arrived on the second fleet. He was appointed in 1809 because letters and parcels were being stolen from ships arriving at the port of Sydney. Australia Post managing director Graeme John said life was often bleak and lonely for the first settlers as they waited for news from home. “It would often be months before a ship was sighted offshore which was enough to create pandemonium on the wharves,” he said. “From linking the colonies to distant Europe, forging overland mail routes and building the nation’s communications infrastructure, the postal service has left an indelible impression on Australia.” The bicycle was introduced in July 1898 after about a month’s trial to clear pillar boxes and deliver letters and telegrams. According to a post office report one bicycle could do the work which formerly required a wagon, teamster, two horses and a box clearer. The bicycle therefore saved the post office some hundreds of pounds. The post office bicycle was based on the safety bicycle concept developed in Great Britain in 1885. It was strong, light and durable. The company fortunate enough to win the first post office contract was MasseyHarris. Today there are about 220 bicycles being used to deliver the mail in Victoria, out of about 3000 delivery rounds. In Bendigo there are four posties who make regular deliveries. Push bikes are still considered a safe option for post services where closer interaction with the general public is warranted. We caught up with Archie Lenten who has been a postie for the past 12 years, six of those years as a bike postie. Five days a week Archie sorts and loads up with an average weight of 12 kilograms of mail requiring delivery to a potential 1000 addresses on his 25-kilometre route. The bike Archie rides weighs 30 kilo-

Chasing a green n The race is already on to see which major centre will be the first to be given the green light to host an AFL game. Ballarat has started the ball rolling linking up with North Melbourne and now Albury has put up its hand to enter the big league. Pre-season games are the first part of the equation but the local council wants to hear from a Melbourne-based team which wants to play games up there. It is unlikely Bendigo will be on the radar due to the AFL concerns of the ground surface and inadequate lighting.

Bowls in Bendigo n Some great news this week for the sport of lawn bowls. Bendigo has just been advised it will be hosting the qualifying matches for the 2010 Australian Open. Matches will be played at most Bendigo district clubs from February 8 to February 12 in a massive show of support for the fantastic greens and top-class officials available in this region. The finals will then be played in Shepparton from February 14-20.

grams prior to adding the additional weight of the letters and parcels. It is single geared with a back pedal brake assisted with a large drum brake on the front wheel. There is a basket on the front with a safe carry load of 16 kilograms and the same for the pannier bags on the rear carry rack also with a safe load capacity of 16 kilograms. Fully loaded, the total weight would be 62 kilograms requiring to be propelled up hill and down dale. Archie said there were only two hills which really challenge him and those made good training for the recreational rides he prepares for, the Otway Classic and Round the Bay in a Day. The bikes have an unusually long head stem to account for the large carry basket that is over the front wheel. It is attached to the frame making turning quite daunting as the basket masks the vision of the front wheel. Archie said his greatest enemy is the

perennial magpie and his helmet bears the marks of many close calls. The other danger is of being backed over when residents reverse out of their driveways unaware of his presence. There are times when pedestrians pose a problem when they are distracted wearing iPods and the like. They wander across Archie’s path, adding to the joys of a postie’s life. Before leaving the mail centre there is a quite detailed 11-point safety check which covers 1: brakes, 2: handlebars, 3: pedals and cranks, 4: mail carry baskets, 5: seat, 6: wheels, 7: tyres, 8: bell and reflectors, 9: chain, 10: frame, 11: general inspection including presentation and cleanliness which is signed off each day and the end of the week by the supervisor, something we could all take note of to ensure our safety on the road. The postal service of today is something the outback mailman of the 19th century could never have imagined. See you on the road soon, God willing.

n The North Central Netball Region has started preparations for the 2009 state titles to be played in Melbourne in October. The region aims to be represented in the open, 17 and under and 15 and under sections with positions in these teams being decided at training sessions starting on Sunday, July 26 at the West Bendigo courts. Players from local associations and football/netball competitions are welcome to try out for the championship teams and invites have now been sent to Woodend, Kyneton, Maryborough, Castlemaine, Rochester and Echuca players to participate.
