Hospital hold-up

AMBO DELAY By ANTHONY RADFORD

■ Continued Page 9

THE first delay in the Bendigo hospital redevelopment has been revealed. The state government this week named five new sites for the relocation of the Arnold Street ambulance station, which will be demolished to make way for part of the new hospital. At a press conference hosted by Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan this week, Ambulance Victoria acting regional general manager Ian Hunt said ambulance staff “would love to be in all of our new locations by December, 2010” when asked when the site would be vacated. “The hospital would love us to be in our new locations by December, 2010,” he said. Ms Allan agreed. However, in October, Bendigo Health Buildings and Infrastructure executive director David Walker, who is organising the redevelopment plan for the hospital, said the site needed to be vacated earlier. “We have timelines that site needs to be cleared by the middle of next year,” he said.

The Arnold Street site will be one of the first areas to be built on. That site will house the sub acute services currently on the Anne Caudle Centre campus. Once that is built, the demolition works will begin on the main hospital site. Ms Allan revealed four new ambulance stations would be built around Bendigo, with a new administration centre in Holdsworth Road. While the suburbs were revealed, the actual sites were not. Mr Hunt said the final sites were not known, but were being negotiated. “We certainly have some preferred sites and we are finalising planning and negotiation on those sites,” he said. Ms Allan said the new stations would allow for greater response times in some cases. “Four new branches will be located in Eaglehawk, Strathdale, Epsom and a new central Bendigo branch, along with a new regional office and vehicle workshop at Holdsworth Road,” she said.

Golden Rule masters both ends of the scale, it’s a well structured album encompassing slow building atmospheric tracks like A Fight About Money and evened out with classic Powderfinger rock rippers like All Of The Dreamers and Jewel. A few gimmicks are employed to add a new depth to the band’s iconic sound like the brilliant sounds of The Splendours peoples choir, recorded at this year’s Splendour in the Grass festival and some nice trumpet work in A Fight About Money. Powderfinger is back, renewed and fully loaded with with an arsenal of live-show slammers.

Title: The Informant Rated: M Genre: Comedy Director: Steven Soderbergh Main Cast: Matt Damon, Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, Melanie Lynskey AVING had success with the classic film about whistle-blower Erin Brockovich, director Steven Soderbergh has come up with a different angle in his latest success on the same subject matter – The Informant. This time Soderbergh gives the whistleblower, Mark Whitacre (played by Matt Damon), a politically dark comedic edge. Based loosely on real events and a book by Kurt Eichenwald, Scott Z Burns has written a screenplay that is intriguing and centres on a bipolar character that has the audience guessing until the roll of the final credits. Not surprising, Matt Damon is brilliant as the protagonist Mark Whitacre. Not scared to disfigure his real-life good looks as seen in the Oceans trilogy, his character endures very unattractive make-up with dramatic ageing hair loss. Whitacre is employed by an American multinational and throughout a two year period works with the FBI to build a case on his employer’s international price fixing racket. This noble act is tainted by the character’s bipolar infliction which is used by writer Burns to keep the audience guessing.

Worrying national census of early childhood development

Local kids at risk By ANTHONY RADFORD BENDIGO’S children have fared poorly in the first national census of early childhood development. The Australian Early Development Index has been completed nationally, giving Australia a snapshot of young children’s development at the time they enter full-time schooling. Between May and July 2009, the AEDI was completed for 261,203 Australian children in their first year of full-time school from every state and territory. In Bendigo, 89 teachers from 49 schools completed the checklist. The results gave a percentage of the children surveyed who were developmentally vulnerable in the areas of emotional maturity, communication skills and general knowledge, language and cognitive skills, physical health and wellbeing, and social competence. Across Australia, 23 per cent were developmentally vulnerable in one or more areas and 12.5 per cent in two or more. Some areas of Bendigo fared a lot worse than the national average.

War of words escalates By ANTHONY RADFORD THE state government will receive the full business case for the redevelopment of the Bendigo hospital in less than a fortnight, as tensions between politicians about the project escalate. The hospital was aiming to have the business case, which is expected to carry a price tag of about $600 million, to the government by the end of the year. The document is believed to ask for a funding commitment over about five years, and is set to be considered in the 2010-11 budget in May. Last week, Box Hill hospital received a five-year funding commitment of more than $400 million, almost half of what it asked for. Health Minister Daniel Andrews said the project was scaled back because of the global financial crisis.

TURN R U O S IT’ A Department of Health spokesman said the Bendigo business case would be finished by the end of the month. “It is still in progress,” he said. “We are on track and we will be communicating more when the time is right.” Meanwhile, the Bendigo project has seen politicians’ tempers rise. Earlier this month, Opposition leader Ted Baillieu claimed the state government had not yet funded the hospital redevelopment, despite a $26 million funding announcement in the May bud-

get for planning and demolition works. Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan responded on Sunday with a scathing attack on the Liberal Party. “The Liberals are like cheque-book chickens,” she said. “When they are asked to show the colour of money, they chicken out. “They still haven’t promised to fund Bendigo’s new hospital and any claim they will is about as reliable as a $9 note. “They have always been miserly coots towards Bendigo.” Ms Allan singled out Nationals MP Damian Drum. “The Liberals/Nationals are like headless chooks running all over the place as local Coalition representatives run out their own spin on their parties’ stinginess,” she said. “Upper House MP Damian Drum claims the Brumby gov-

ernment is spending too much money on the new hospital and other major development projects for Bendigo and Victoria and uses this as an excuse for running away from releasing any funding decision until the election in November, if at all. “It is clear the Coalition is planning to use the new hospital as part of a counterfeit ‘wasted spending’ campaign locally against the Labor government’s massive investment in vital infrastructure works in Bendigo.” Mr Drum said it was usually Member for Bendigo West Bob Cameron who attacked the Opposition. “The thoroughly-discredited Police Minister Bob Cameron is now such a liability to the Labor state government his Bendigo East side-kick has been told to deal with the mess he leaves in his wake,” he said.

■ From Page 1 “This will result in local ambulance services being deployed from additional response locations. “The first stage of Bendigo’s new hospital involves relocating the ambulance station and demolition of existing building to make way for the hospital redevelopment.” The construction is expected to take 12 months and will cost $12million, money that was allocated in May’s budget. The new stations will not mean reduced staff, with a regional Victoria review looking at staff numbers across the state. The new stations are expected to result in response times being reduced by more than 30 seconds in about 4000 emergency cases. Last year, paramedics attended more than 9600 emergency cases in the City of Greater Bendigo area. Member for Bendigo

West Bob Cameron said decentralising the ambulance stations would reduce response times “Decentralising Bendigo ambulance services would mean paramedics were better placed to respond to critical medical emergencies around Bendigo,” he said. Liberal Party Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell said the announcement was short on detail. “The minister’s release doesn’t reveal whether we will get any additional resources,” she said. “It won’t see the commencement of the new hospital. “This funding was committed in May and it has taken almost seven months to reveal some vague locations. “It doesn’t provide one cent to one brick for a new hospital. It is all moving very slowly.”

By ANNIKA SMETHURST THE City of Greater Bendigo council has named nine local sites for possible use as Neighbourhood Safer Places – Places of Last Resort for the coming fire season. The nine sites include the Bendigo Racecourse, Maiden Gully Primary School and Centro Lansell in Kangaroo Flat. Of the nine sites, seven have been approved but are not council-owned so require further consent from the owners. The council-owned sites include the Queen Elizabeth Oval and Canterbury Park, which have now received approval as places of last resort. The sites must be at least 310 metres clear of forest and other fuel sources or, in the case of structures, 140 metres, to offer enough protection from radiant heat, the biggest killer during bushfire. Places of Last Resort have

Councillors Kevin Gibbins, Keith Reynard and Alec Sandner all spoke in favour of the plan but stressed the sites did not guarantee protection. “There is a grave misconception in the community,� Cr Sandner said. “These are places of last resort and places where people

can go when their fire plans fail.� Cr Reynard said he feared the process was rushed and wanted to reassure the community the sites would not guarantee absolute safety in the event of an emergency. Mayor Rod Campbell said the CFA proposed 13 potential sites, however only nine had met council’s criteria to serve as places of last resort. “Council is very appreciative of all the organisations who

Mall contractor bonus unpaid By ANTHONY RADFORD THE Hargreaves Mall contractors did not receive the financial bonus they requested for the partial completion of the project. Last week, the Bendigo Weekly revealed Delta Group had asked the City of Greater Bendigo council for a bonus as part of a long list of contract variation claims. The redevelopment of the Hargreaves Mall is more than a year behind schedule. It was supposed to be completed in October, 2008, however it looks like it won’t be finished until some time in 2010. Documents obtained by the Weekly under Freedom of Information revealed Delta requested a bonus for early completion of stage one of the project, the civil and pavement works.

The documents also unveiled the litany of delays Delta said was caused by the lack of information about the design of the three large structures in the mall. Council Presentation and Assets director Jos Duivenvoorden said council refused the bonus request. “Claims for early completion have been made by Delta,� he said. “They have been denied by council and no early completion payments have been made. “There have been several claims made by Delta regarding design issues. Some have resulted in Extension of Time claims by Delta. “Some extensions of time have been agreed to by the Contract Superintendent, several have also been rejected.� However, Mr Duivenvoorden did not rule out the bonus

have shown tremendous community spirit by allowing their venues to be used,� he said. Cr Campbell reiterated the call from council that on a catastrophic day, there was no guarantee that the sites would be a safe haven. Earlier this year the state government identified 52 Victorian towns most at risk this fire season including five local suburbs; Bendigo, Maiden Gully, Kangaroo Flat, Junortoun and Eaglehawk.

Uni boost to economy

By ANTHONY RADFORD A LA Trobe University report has claimed the facility contributes more than $200 million annually to the Bendigo economy. The report reveals the university supported more than 2000 jobs, once flow-on effects were taken into account. Pro Vice-Chancellor Hal Swerissen said La Trobe was the major provider of higher education services in regional Victoria. “The La Trobe University Regional Office recently commissioned Compelling Economics to analyse the direct output generated by the university and the flow-on benefits produced by staff and students at the regional campuses,� he said. “The report found that combined, the campuses contribute $282.7million in total to

the regional cities in which they are located. “The Bendigo campus of La Trobe University and its students contribute $201.4 million per annum to Bendigo’s gross regional product. “Albury-Wodonga contributes $50.3 million, Mildura contributes $18.5 million and Shepparton $12.5 million.� La Trobe Bendigo executive director Andrew Skewes welcomed the report’s findings. “The report clearly demonstrates the social and economic contribution made to the community by Bendigo’s local university and the increase in first preferences we have experienced this year shows this contribution will continue to grow,� he said. “We have seen a rise in demand in the VTAC timely polls, with first preferences for courses on this campus up by 38 per cent

on last year. “The pop polls are a ringing endorsement of many of the campuses courses across all faculties and reflect the university’s strengthened focus on increasing its regional profile.� Mr Skewes said Bendigo was well placed for further growth in the next three years. “The La Trobe Rural Health School in Bendigo will add a total of 780 new students as well as several professorial appointments and the La Trobe Institute of Molecular Science in Bundoora will increase demand for applied sciences on this campus,� he said. “Pharmacy and civil engineering have done extremely well this year, as have teaching, business and visual arts.� Professor Swerissen said students at La Trobe’s regional campuses contributed millions to lo-

cal communities. “Each year students spend over $107 million across the four regional La Trobe campuses – $76.3 million in Bendigo, $18 million in Albury-Wodonga, $6.8 million in Mildura and $6.6 million in Shepparton,� he said. “Universities contribute greatly to the development of vibrant and innovative regional communities and this report clearly demonstrates La Trobe’s key role in the regional economies it serves. “The findings underline the importance of our Regional Strategic Plan released earlier this year and the subsequent creation of the regional office to support La Trobe’s commitment to the regions through its core priorities of producing high-quality graduates, high quality and high impact research and engaging with our regional communities.�

THE long wait was over for 48,594 students who received their Victorian Certificate of Education, exam results and Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank this week. Locally, four students from a cohort of 113 received an ENTER exceeding 99 at Girton Grammar School this year, placing them in the top one per cent of the state – Sophie Chandler topped the school receiving the highest score of 99.75. Other top scores included Chelsea Mullens with 99.35, Emily Edwards with a score of 99.30 and Joshua Tepper with 99.05. Two students received perfect scores of 50 for their subjects, Sophie Chandler in History Revolutions and Michelle Uebergang in Psychology. More than 60 per cent of Girton Grammar students received an ENTER in the top 20 per cent of the state with 103 students receiving an ENTER score higher than 50. Sophie said she was home alone when she decided to check her results online. “I just looked at it, I think I was shocked, then I rang my parents,” she said. “It’s an intense year but I just stuck to a plan and

didn’t leave things to the last minute.” Sophie hopes to study Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne and live at Ormond College. In Castlemaine, an excited Chelsea Mullens woke her brother, former school captain Gary, with her news. “Everyone was super excited and I just banged on Gary’s door and shouted my ENTER score,” she said. “When I got my score I just looked at the computer. I stared at it a bit and it took a bit to get through.” As a former exchange student, Chelsea developed a strong love of Japanese and hopes to include it in her studies at the University of Melbourne. The three top students from Catholic College Bendigo proved subject choice doesn’t limit chances of suc-

cess in VCE. College Dux for 2009, Madeleine Llyod received an ENTER of 98.75 pursuing Humanities subjects. Madeleine is hoping to study Arts at the University of Melbourne and would like a career in interpreting. Madeleine studied Indonesian in Year 12 but hopes to pick up Spanish at university.

Damian Drum’s forgotten hospital comments

Farms dams needed to catch run-off

LIBERAL Coalition politician Damian Drum (Bendigo Weekly letters, December 11) seems to have forgotten that he revealed the Liberal-National coalition still had not “put up their hands to build� Labor’s new Bendigo hospital. At the last election only Labor promised funds to plan for the future of our hospital, and to build new junior secondary schools. The Liberals refused to fund this, instead making funding promises in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. As a result of our hospital planning promise, independent experts advised the best option was to transition to a new site. At the last budget we made a commitment to Labor’s new Bendigo hospital being on the Anne Caudle site. The Opposition spokesman dismissed Labor’s new Bendigo hospital stating that it was “not a project we have given a commitment to�. Mr Drum, blabbed in the Bendigo Advertiser (May 27, 2009), stating: “I and the Coalition have not as yet stuck our hand up and said we would build the new hospital�. This comes as no surprise though. After all, they opposed our massive rail improvements, Labor’s plan to buy Goulburn irrigation water for Bendigo, and had to be forced to pay up their share for the Calder after a long public row. Bob Cameron, Member for Bendigo West.

AFTER reading the article “Dam shame�, then following on page five “Small farms delay run-off�, (Bendigo Weekly, November 27) I want to comment. After being a landholder for many years with experience in dealing with problems associated with inadequate drainage and run-off, I believe your article is not altogether fact. Many small farm dams are necessary to catch run-off. The shire would come along and build roads, or grade dirt roads, often altering and not considering land drainage to the area or consulting with landholders in that area. Many of these roads did not have pipes placed underneath where needed and left stagnant water in primary producers’ paddocks and sides of the roads, resulting in salinity paddock problems, breakdown of roads, accident hazards and health. This then costs the landholders huge sums of money to rectify. Often primary producers would have loss of production from the excess of water left stagnant in the paddock and are left no alternative other than to have the paddocks lasered and dams made bigger in consideration to others. I believe forcing the registration of dams is another example of how farmers are being ripped off, as when we start to place a tax on an act of God, that is a crime. I also believe the inadequate planning should be addressed, and for these problems in the future to be resolved, then consultation with landholders should be considered first. Cynthia Washington, Bendigo.

Last month I decided to shortcut diagonally across the mall from Myer to the post office. One expects to be able to do this in malls. I remember admiring the bright display outside Sportsco before my head hit the pavement. Some good samaritans picked me up and took me to McArthurs shoe shop. My leg was badly gashed and bleeding profusely and I was dazed.

I was then assisted to medical attention. As I am a pensioner I wrote to the council and asked them to compensate me by paying my medical and basic fees. I received a reply stating that the council did not consider themselves to be negligent. Is it not negligent to place low jagged rocks in a mall where people are supposed to walk while admiring shop displays? If the council is sued by someone less fortunate than me I suppose the ratepayers will have to pay the bills. D. Mason, Kennington.

OPINION

View Point Take a sensible approach LAST Christmas’ editorial was supporting Coliban Water’s decision to move to Stage Three water restrictions in the new year. Like most of the Weekly’s water editorials, it spoke of the importance of easing restrictions for the city’s future development. Restrictions cost a city the size of Bendigo tens of millions of dollars a year. It is disappointing, therefore, to not be able to be musing about yet another reduction in water restrictions this New Year’s Day. Water is a challenge this city faces, yet again, in 2010, and something Coliban Water and the state government need to, yet again, sort out. The fact we have paid millions of dollars to have access to the water, have it in storage but can’t use it is nothing short of scandalous. A priority for next year must be enlarging the city’s water treatment plant to allow more water to flow to households and to businesses, to allow economic growth to continue. Another priority for the new year, as it was last year, is the hospital redevelopment. Political parties are at war, it seems, over who has or hasn’t funded or promised money. While this can be seen as simply nar-

Bendigo Weekly

Editorial Comment row-minded politicking, it could be a good thing. Having such a heated debate ensures the issue is always in the media, and ensures the public and the politicians don’t forget about it, or try and limit its importance during a double-election year. It also means promises have to be solid, as they will no doubt be picked through in great detail. This is the last Weekly for 2009. While we would have liked to report on the opening of the Hargreaves Mall, the start of the hospital construction and the lowering of water restrictions this year, alas, it was not to be. Instead, we have had the displeasure of reporting on an event that dominated 2009 – the Black Saturday fires. With 60 houses lost so close to the city,

and one life taken away, the fires touched the entire Bendigo population. The tragedy of Bendigo, and the rest of the state, on February 7 will never be forgotten and, let’s pray, hopefully never repeated. It is important, therefore, for Bendigonians to be prepared, but not scared, about the coming fire season. Panic is something that anyone who was there on February 7 saw first-hand. It is not pleasant. The Weekly urges everyone to take a sensible approach to this fire season and prepare themselves the best they can, by taking in as much correct information they can find, including from the brochures delivered to every household over the past few weeks. And please, if there is any doubt about whether or not you think you should stay or go, or about your ability to defend your property, leave and leave early. To end the year on a fun note, a couple of avid Weekly readers have sent in some clever topical Christmas carols. As we end the year with those, on behalf of the Weekly and its staff, we wish you a merry and safe Christmas, thank you for your support and readership this year and we will catch up again on January 1.

DOWNTOWN Bendigo ambassadors have hit the streets to help make Christmas shopping in the CBD that little bit easier this year. Bendigo Traders Association marketing co-ordinator Leigh Sharp said the ambassadors would be very handy for shoppers. “Our ambassadors will be wandering the CBD with free balloons for the kids and will be helping people with their parking by offering to feed their meters,” he said. “Last year’s ambassadors proved very popular with shoppers and we look forward to helping out with

parking money and balloons for the kids again this year. “The CBD has so much to offer this Christmas and this is a wonderful way to assist people during this hectic time.” Santa will also be doing the rounds of the CBD until Christmas, offering up lots of free lollies and plenty of cheer. Mr Sharp also announced an early winner to the BTA’s Scratch It Rich competition. The major prize of $4000 has been won by a lucky CBD shopper. “The competition has once again been a fantastic

Plan to extend rail trail THE City of Greater Bendigo council will seek support from Regional Development Victoria to undertake a $3.2 million extension of the O’Keefe Rail Trail from Axedale to Heathcote in an attempt to tap into growing cycling and walking tourism opportunities. Mayor Rod Campbell said if extended, the O’Keefe Rail Trail had the poten-

success and we are excited the major prize has been won in time for Christmas,” Mr Sharp said. “There have also been many smaller prizes of $100 and $20 won and there are still dozens of prizes up for grabs before the secondchance draw on Christmas Eve. “We will be drawing a lucky person’s name from the barrel at noon on Hargreaves Mall on Christmas Eve. “If that person is present at the draw they will collect an extra $1000.” The second-chance draw will also feature another $1000 shopper dollar prize.

tial to become one of Victoria’s great rail trails and a major cycling and walking tourism drawcard for Greater Bendigo. “The O’Keefe Rail Trail is currently 18 kilometres long and runs from Napier Street, Bendigo to Axedale along the disused Bendigo/Heathcote railway line,” he said. “The proposed extension to Heathcote would add a further 22 kilometres to the trail making it 40 kilometres.”

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, December 18, 2009

Raffle fired up for squirt By MATTHEW SCOTT SEDGWICK fire brigade has raised almost $7000 towards the purchase of a new slip-on four wheel drive firefighting unit. The fundraising for the new firefighting equipment was possible through money raised in a raffle held throughout October. The main prize from the raffle was a little squirt unit, which includes a 500-litre water tank, a sixby-four-foot trailer, a Honda powered pump and a 36 metre hose reel. The winner of the raffle was Col Iskov.

President of the Sedgwick CFA brigade Matthew Bowles, was thrilled with the little squirt unit and thanked all of the people who bought tickets in the raffle. He also thanked all of the ticket sellers, who sold raffle tickets on behalf of the fire brigade. “As a small brigade we would like to thank not only those who bought a ticket but those within and outside the brigade who helped sell the tickets,” he said. The new four wheel drive firefighting unit will be a welcome addition to the Sedgwick fire brigade, to assist in putting out any type of fire.

War of words escalates ■ From Page 5 “If only Bob Cameron and his colleagues could put in as much effort to getting a clear commitment for the new hospital. “How much will the state government commit to our new hospital and when? “That’s the simple issue. The Bendigo East/West pair seem to have forgotten that they sit on the government side of the House and it is their responsibility to build what’s needed. “It is the Coalition’s role, for the moment, to keep Labor focussed on the job. “Oh, and, by the way, if and when a new hospital is built, it will be Bendigo’s new hospital, not Labor’s as Mr Cameron insists on calling it.” Opposition Health spokesman David Davis also went on the front foot. “This is a strange press release. It is a real doozy,” he said. “They have both lost the plot, it seems. After 10 years the Brumby government is a tired and lazy government. “Jacinta Allan no longer understands her role as a local member. “She should not be an apologist for the government. She should be prepared to fight for the local area. “If you were scoring her out of 10 on seeing a new, modern hospital for Bendigo, you would have to score her less than one.”

Look forward to new year ON THE SPOT: Bendigo Historical Society president Jim Evans. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN.

A REPRINT of a popular book about Bendigo’s iconic Shamrock Hotel has been launched. The Bendigo Historical Society has re-launched Frank Cusack’s The History of Hotel Shamrock, with enhanced pictures. BHS president Jim Evans wrote the foreword to the book, which was first launched to celebrate the hotel’s re-opening. He was full of praise for the book, which was reprinted with the help of society member David Mulqueen. “No other building is more closely associated with the Bendigo story than the Shamrock

Hotel, and no one has done more for the story of Bendigo than the late Frank Cusack,� he said. “The book tells the story of the Shamrock Hotel from its early days in the gold rush period, details the huge success of the Concert Hall, where patrons received free entertainment, the enterprise of Irishmen Billy Heffernan and John Crowley, the various buildings on the site, culminating in the glorious 1897 building, which still stands today. “Readers will be amazed to hear of the many and varied artists and performers who helped

to make the Shamrock Concert Hall, described as a ‘handsome hall that would not have disgraced London itself’, famous throughout Australia and the world.� The book features a number of re-mastered photographs. “The Shamrock was the place to stay for royalty, internationally known singers such as Dame Nellie Melba and John McCormack, musicians like Paderewski and Richard Strauss and for politicians like Prime Minister Billy Hughes,� Mr Evans said. “The Banquet Hall was the scene of a very famous meeting

of the Australian Natives’ Association, where a future Prime Minister of Australia, Alfred Deakin, implored his audience to support the ‘Yes’ vote in favour of Federation. “One important aspect of this new edition is the retention of the photographs, plus new historical images.� The society has added a postscript to the original book, to bring the story of the iconic Shamrock Hotel up to the present. The book is available at The Shamrock or at the society on 5442 1005 for $20, plus postage if required.

Bright idea makes the difference

SUMMER FUN: Alec Sandner with Sonya Ilsley, Pat Jess and Robin Lewis at the Brennan Park pool. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN More photos at www.bendigophotos.com

Open with a splash THE City of Greater Bendigo has completed a major $1.1 million upgrade of the Brennan Park Swimming Pool and will provide free entry on Sunday to celebrate the completion of the works and the official opening of the pool for the swimming season. Flora Hill Ward councillor Alec Sandner said the council was inviting everyone to come along to Brennan Park between 10am and 7pm on Sunday. “There will be free entry to the pool and a free sausage sizzle between noon and 2pm,” he said. “Everyone who comes through

the gate will also have the chance of winning a family season ticket for this summer. Cr Sandner said Brennan Park was one of the council’s largest outdoor swimming centres. “It was built in the early 1980s and was in need of significant work to improve its ageing infrastructure and to also repair water leaks,” he said “A lot of the work that was needed was under the ground and included the installation of new pipe work, replacement of the concourse and major repairs to the pool shell.

“This major project has also included the installation of a new filtration system, repairs to the diving pool and the installation of a new wet deck system around the 50 metre pool.” A new access ramp was installed to make the pool more user friendly for people with mobility issues. “Brennan Park is a popular family swimming pool and the work undertaken has improved this busy, local community asset,” Cr Sandner said. “It has been an important project for Flora Hill Ward and is part of council’s ongoing commitment to improve local recreation facilities.”

LIGHTEN UP: Bodee Scullie and Ron Trimble of the Newbridge Football Club change bulbs. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN By MATTHEW SCOTT COMMUNITY groups are the big winners, and they have climate change to thank. Victorian home and business owners were eligible to take part in the Ban the Bulb campaign, being delivered by the Bendigo Bank’s Generation Green program. The program, which aimed to replace non-energy friendly incandesant light bulbs with new energy friendly bulbs free of charge was undertaken by almost 1000 volunteers from organisations ranging from sport-

ing clubs, APEX, Rotary and Lions, as well as the SES. Between the community organisations, they changed more than 200,000 light globes in 50 Victorian communities. AGL general manager of marketing David Hamilton said the campaign was taken up by almost 12,000 homes and businesses. “Overall, Ban the Bulb has raised close to $400,000 for the participating groups – money that will be used to support projects in their local communities,” he said.

Making Victoria FireReady:

If you live in a bushfire prone area the safest option is to leave the night before, or early in the morning. The safest option is to leave early in the day if you live in a bushfire prone area and your Bushfire Survival Plan is to leave. Only stay if your home is well prepared, well constructed and you can actively defend it.

New Fire Danger Ratings. Look for them, act on them. Victoria has adopted the new national Fire Danger Rating scale to help individuals and communities understand the level of fire danger on any given day. The new ratings recognise the significant increase in severe bushfire conditions over the past decade and the greater level of danger to the community, as experienced on Saturday 7 February 2009. It’s important for all Victorians to be aware of the ratings, which will feature on weather forecasts, in newspapers, websites, radio and TV. The new ratings provide a clear prediction of likely fire behaviour, including how difficult it would be to put a fire out once it has started. They provide information on: UÊ / iÊà ÀÌÊ vÊLÕà wÀiÊLi >Û ÕÀÊÌ >ÌÊV Õ `ÊLiÊiÝ«iÀ i Vi`Ê ÊÌ >ÌÊ`>Þ°

Have it wrapped By MATTHEW SCOTT CUSTOMERS at Myer Bendigo will once again be able to have their Christmas gifts wrapped this festive season, with the money raised going to Vision Australia. The gift wrapping which is staffed by local Vision Australia volunteers, is an annual fundraiser. Customers can have their Myer purchases wrapped for a donation of $3 for small presents, $5 for medium sized gifts and $10 for large gifts. Customers who may be buying their loved ones something extra large and oversized can negotiate a donation price with the giftwrapping staff. There is also a choice of how your gifts may be wrapped, with either decorative wrapping paper and a ribbon, or having the gift

placed in a decorative box which comes in an assortment of sizes. Money raised from the gift wrap is essential for allowing Vision Australia to provide much-needed services to clients who are vision impaired, or who may have low vision. The gift-wrapping service at Myer runs every day up until Christmas Eve, with the volunteers clocking on at 10am and wrapping presents up until closing time in the busy shopping period leading up to Christmas. Myer general manager of Communications Mitch Catlin was delighted Myer would once again be an integral part of this traditional fundraising effort of Vision Australia’s. “For more than six decades Myer has had an enduring tradition of supporting the community. Our partnership with Vision Australia for

the Myer gift wrap program and Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight is a way to further build upon this commitment,” he said. One of the many volunteers who will be wrapping your Myer gifts this year is Julie Richards, and her best friend Dot McDonald. Dot is in her second year of gift wrapping at the Myer Bendigo store, and became involved in the activity after hearing how much fun Julie had doing the gift wrap in previous years. It’s about raising money for Vision Australia, an organisation that has personally touched her heart. For more information about volunteering your time for the gift wrap, or any other gift-wrap related enquiries, contact the Vision Australia Bendigo volunteer co-ordinator Lyn McNamara on 5445 5700.

COLD CHRISTMAS

Overseas for By ANNIKA SMETHURST

WHILE the rest of us enjoy the sensational summer sun this Christmas, many Bendigo residents will spend Christmas away from families and friends and in some of the world’s most exotic, dangerous and glamorous locations

LEVEL CROSSING SAFETY CAMERAS

Erica McCormick, 21, Malmö, Sweden.

As part of the State Government’s $33 million level crossing safety package, safety cameras have been installed at the level crossing on Midland Highway, Bagshot, north of Bendigo. From early 2010, these cameras will have the capabilities to enforce traffic offences at the level crossing including speeding and disobeying level crossing warning signals such as flashing red lights.

All motorists are reminded to take care when approaching level crossings – slow down, obey the signals and be prepared to stop. If you ignore the warnings, you risk your life and the lives of others. AT LEVEL CROSSINGS, IT’S SIMPLE - DON’T RISK IT. For more information visit www.transport.vic.gov.au

Local girl joins the Dream Maker team at Simonds Homes LEADING Bendigo home and land package project builder Simonds Homes has appointed a new sales consultant Holly Mundy to work alongside Amanda Ellis in the Ascot Park Estate in Epsom showing buyers around two display Homes the Leon and the Livornio. Holly who is a local Bendigo girl started with Simonds 4 weeks ago said she joined Simonds because: “It is a wonderful reputable company and through Simonds I am helping people to realise their dream.” Simonds Homes prides itself on making the process of buying a family home as stress free and straightforward as possible. “We are a housing and land specialist and we have done all the homework for our customers and can offer many house and land packages in great locations on land already selected in the Bendigo area. Many customers love the idea that the hard work has been done for them,” said Victoria North Region Sales Manager Katrina Turner. “However, if clients already have their land we can tailor a home to suit. At Simonds we offer an online program called ‘Fusion’ that allows you to see all the options that you can add to the floor plan in an online format. “Fusion allows a buyer to start creating their perfect house online, allowing them to tailor a floor plan or pick a facade to suit their needs and more particularly their budget – offering flexibility and convenience to build their dream home just the way they want it. The living homes range showcases our Simonds collection of outstanding family homes, with something to suit everyone. Simonds has also just released nine new living homes floor plans,” she said. For more than 60 years, Simonds has been building a better life for Victorians. As times change and builders come and go, Simonds’ proud heritage of quality

Erica said being in Sweden had made her feel like a little kid again as everything was traditional and the whole city was covered in beautiful lights. “There are big plans for a Christmas dinner here with the students I live

with, who are from all over Europe,” she said “I am sure there will be plenty of Glögg (Christmas wine) and pepparkakor (gingerbread) shared around.”

workmanship and innovative design has earned them the accolade of Australia’s most awarded builder. And it’s this commitment to quality, well designed and affordable housing that sees nearly 1500 homebuyers choose Simonds each year, making them one of the nation’s leading new home builders. Ms Turner said: “We employ 44 people in our north Victorian operations and directly impact hundred’s of tradespeople and suppliers and that’s what truly sets Simonds apart is their commitment of ‘we’re in it together’ - which means they’re with you throughout the homebuilding journey. Our sales team is committed to helping people who want to buy a new home. They’ll listen to what people have to say, answer any questions and guide them through the process from start to finish. Their thorough understanding of what’s involved guarantees quicker turnarounds and a great result. That’s why I can confidently say to anybody looking to build, come and talk to us at Simonds because we are in it together,” Ms Turner said. Anyone wishing to talk with Simonds can visit the display homes at Ascot Park Estate or call Amanda Ellis on 0407 105 283 and Holly Mundy on 0457 302 888 or, they can visit the display home at Junortoun and catch up with Wayne McGrath or call him on 0429 033 678 and finally they can go to the website at www.simonds.com.au

Penalties for ignoring warning signals at a level crossing includes a $584 fine and a loss of 4 demerit points. Normal speeding penalties also apply for disobeying the posted speed limit of 80kph, commencing at a $146 fine and the loss of 1 demerit point for speeding less than 10kph over the posted limit.

Erica said she was initially daunted when she was accepted to go on an exchange program with La Trobe University. “Being away for both my 21st birthday as well as Christmas seemed like quite a big deal for me,” she said. “But now I am here I have realised it is going to be one of my most exciting Christmases in a few years.” Erica said she would miss celebrating Christmas at home and having her family around as she opens presents. “I am used to spending Christmas lunch with my mum’s side and tea with dad’s, and these are usually huge operations – I have about 40 first cousins across both families,” she said. “And, of course, I will miss my favourite Christmas dessert, mum’s pavlova.”

It was love that caused Bendigo student Matthew Seely to fly to the other side of the globe to celebrate Christmas with girlfriend Laura. The couple met while Matthew was on a university exchange from La Trobe University in 2008. Matthew returned to Australia and spent the past year saving to see his American sweetheart for Christmas. “We will be flying on Christmas Day so I will spend Christmas Day at LAX airport then with Laura’s family in Santa Clara, California” he said. “I will miss being away from my family. We usually have lunch together in Bendigo.” “I’ll also miss the Boxing Day test.”

Cassandra Cheeseman, 22, North Carolina, United States of America. Bendigo resident Cassandra will spend this Christmas in Phoenix, Arizona on a tour of the USA, after completing the last semester of her degree at East Carolina University in North Carolina. Cassandra said she was excited to be spending Christmas in the USA, especially as her cousin is join- ing her. “I will miss Christmas lunch with my family. It’s the first time I have been away from family in Bendigo for Christmas and I am really looking forward to seeing everyone when I return home in January.”

Christmas leftover central By NICOLE MURPHY

Bubble and Squeak

WHY is it that we prepare so much food on Christmas day? It’s not like we’re hungrier than normal. In fact, most are not feeling up to it at all after catching up with mates on Christmas Eve, but we still seem to overcater. So, what to do with the left overs? We have Chinese for Christmas lunch now – (after a little reluctance on my part but a unanimous decision on everyone elses part – mum is an awesome Chinese cook) so we don’t have the same problem. But, back in the days when ham, pork, chicken, beef and veg were all the go, mum would always cook up Bubble and Squeak the next day.

Roughly mash whatever left-over vegies and chopped up meat you have and stir in a few beaten, seasoned eggs (can add things like chopped parsley, shallots) and cook, stirring in a hot frying pan ... when it’s almost set, spread evenly in the pan, top with grated cheese and pop under a hot griller until nicely browned on top.

Gnocchi

One year someone was given a pie maker and we had absolutely everything in pies for a week after Christmas. I know someone in the family is receiving a pizza maker this year, so looks like turkey pizza is the way to go. Anyway, here are some leftover ideas.

Author Unknown

On the first Day of Christmas, my true love said to me: ‘I’ve just bought a big turkey and a proper Christmas tree.’

Rice paper rolls

Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls

Gnocchi

Bibble and squeak

The Twelve Days of Christmas or the Everlasting Turkey

If you’re the sort of people who mash your veggies, then leftover mashed potato and pumpkin is very easily made into cheat’s gnocchi by the kids. I always just put it on the bench and keep adding plain flour until it gets to playdough consistency. They roll them out into long snakes and then chop them into 2cm lengths. You then just boil a handful at a time until they float (not long) and fish them out of the water with a slotted spoon. If it’s pumpkin you have, then my kids favourite is just serving it with fresh sage leaves fried up in butter.

On the second Day of Christmas, much laughter could be heard As we tucked into our turkey – a most delicious bird.

To get a fresher feeling to the turkey or chicken, especially if the weather’s warm, have some nice fresh rice paper rolls. Put rice paper in bowl of hot water until it softens, remove, put on plate and roll up with shredded meat, vermicelli noodles, snow peas, cucumber sticks, coriander, mint, anything you like. If you’re over the plum sauce, then put in some hoisin or sweet chilli sauce. Always cover them, when made, with a damp tea towel.

On the third Day of Christmas, came people from next door. The turkey tasted just as good as it had before. On the fourth Day of Christmas, we had the turkey cold – With mashed spuds and salads, our appetites to hold.

Roast Spud pizza Our favourite pizza is caramelised onions, sliced spuds and rosemary. You could also use up your ham this way on a semi-dried tomato tepinade base with asparagus and bocconcini.

On the fifth Day of Christmas, outside the snowflakes scurried. But we were nice and warm inside: we had the turkey curried. On the sixth Day of Christmas, the Christmas spirit died. The children fought and bickered. We had the turkey fried. On the seventh Day of Christmas, my true love he did wince When we sat down at table and were offered turkey mince.

No time for the blues

Chasing the dream guitar AS Christmas looms my memory turns to the gift I just had to have. You know how it goes, every thought turns to the coveted object, everything you see reminds you of the dream object, and how you are going to own it. I assume it is like this for everbody, the passion is too strong for it to be only my emotion.

I shopped around for a while, but pretty soon had the target in sight Anyway, as a teenager all I always wanted a Fender bass guitar. No hope of it arriving for Christmas, mum couldn’t stretch to that. It was purely based on

Steve Kendall ON LIFE the look, I know they sound pretty good too, but the look was what set up the craving. No train sets for me, and the bike could stay in the shop for all I cared, I wanted a guitar. Not a lead guitar for fast riffs, but the stable plodding and rhythm of the bass. When I was about 15 I bought a Fender copy, couldn’t stretch to the real thing. It sounded okay to my youthful ears, but it wasn’t a Fender. So, I learned the 12-bar blues and other bass-like plays, and struggled on. I don’t know where the guitar ended up, but I don’t have it now. Hopefully it’s fulfilling a dream for a budding musician. Some 20 years later I ventured out to buy another bass so I could play in a band.

Thing is, after so long not playing I just couldn’t justify the expense of a Fender. So another copy came home to play. The band progressed, and as happens the rest of the band upgraded and I was left with the poorrelation copy. The lead guitarist had

a Fender Stratocaster just to rub it in. Mind you, he had a saxophone too just to make the point. I raised the thought with Mrs Kendall Mark One. “I would like a Fender Jazz Bass,� I said. The silence which followed left me in no doubt of the likely outcome. So I continued on with my black and white faux Fender. Marking time, so to speak. I spent some time with my recentlyd i vo r c e d friend last month, and he is revelling

in his new-found financial freedom. I am not saying he had an easy time, but once the hurt had eased he felt a new release in buying what he wanted or needed without the constraints of wifely cash management. He is in the rebellion stage of having two cars just because he can, without the enforced guilt trip. Mind you, I couldn’t understand the two laptops. I suppose I must have suffered a bit from this with Mrs Kendall (Mark One), because barely was I out of the marriage before I found myself at the guitar shop. I was in a flat much smaller than the home I had left, and there was no chance for the band practices as before, but I was going to have that guitar. I shopped around for a while, but pretty soon had the target in sight. Common sense flew out the window, and within hours I was the proud owner of my own candy apple red Fender Jazz Bass made in the United States, it had a maple neck and

was absolutely gorgeous. If such a description can be attributed to a guitar. It came in its own hard case and lived in the corner of the flat. Trouble was, I had moved 80 kilometres from the rest of the band (now it is more than 16,000) and the guitar has yet to be played with any other instrument. Probably had an hour of use since 1998. This has been a good lesson, because when I crave ownership of new things the long-suffering Mrs Kendall (Mark Two) soon tempers my enthusiasm and I figure she is probably right given the Fender experience Mrs K has horses, so I am hardly able to compete on expenditure anyway, though I am sure I could give it a good run given the chance. But I guess it is time to sell the Fender. I made my point with it and up to date it has got me nowhere. Maybe the ladies have it right on spending. I hope a Fender Jazz Bass is on somebody’s Christmas list as the guitar is in the Bendigo Weekly classies today.

Lions battle on after gifts stolen

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Inglewood Carols by Candlelight goes ahead after marathon effort By ANN-MARIE ROBERTS

THE Inglewood Lions Club had been working furiously to raise money for their free Carols by Candlelight and barbecue night only to have the event jeopardised by the theft of $1500 worth of their toys. Those at the helm of this event are Lions Club members Terry Mangles, Robert Condliffe and Alan Saunders. “We’re devastated, the monetary value is difficult to make up but more disappointing is they’ve stolen them knowing they were gifts for struggling families,” Mr Mangles said. A retired policeman from Melbourne, Terry is using what contacts he has to raise enough funds to replace the toys. “I’ve just returned from Melbourne after talking on the 3AW Neil Mitchell show; you never know who might be listening,” he said. “We’ve received small donations locally to replace some of the toys but we’re chasing our tail because as we acquire a few new things, the numbers of kids also keeps growing.” Mr Condliffe said. This is the third consecutive year the Lions Club has conducted a free Christmas event for struggling families and those affected by drought. What began as a relatively modest Carols by Candlelight and barbecue providing toys for 70 children in 2007, has more than tripled with 200 children registered for toys this year. After joining the Inglewood Lions Club, Mr Mangles came up with the idea of a free Christmas event because he could see families were battling. When he suggested putting on an evening free of charge, the committee was in full support. “Drought was particularly bad in 2007, people were doing it tough but were too proud to ask for help so the Lion’s Club decided to put on an evening free of charge, so they could enjoy the company of friends and neighbours,” he said. “The event has grown astronomically and we have found ourselves working most of the year to provide a really good event for the families of Inglewood and district.” Sponsorship is an essential component of raising funds and Mr Mangles took on the big task of writing letters to companies and organisations, and although it has been a lot of work, most people have responded well. “A couple of our bigger sponsors are the Salvation Army and Warehouse Sales but everything helps, even the coffee and biscuits are donated. We get our coffee from Robert Timms in Melbourne and our biscuits from Country Cookies in Donald,” he said.

“We’ve found the lucky door prizes including hampers and our major prize of a television set have been an effective way to give families gifts without them feeling embarrassed.” One of the highlights of the event is the drawing of the massive Christmas stocking which is bursting with an array of goods supplied by local businesses including toys, wines and sporting gear. “Local people sell the tickets earlier in the year and we’ve had a couple of very conscientious sellers who have certainly stretched the stocking a lot further,” Mr Mangles said. The event is far reaching to all members of the community including the local hospital and hostel patients. “Santa visits the elderly people and drops each of them off a pamper pack donated by the Country Women’s Association,” Mr Condliffe said. “Many of the elderly ladies were brought to tears last year, they were so overwhelmed with PACKING TIME: Robert Condliffe and Terry Mangles.

emotion, it was incredible,” Mr Mangles said. Although the men are modest about the amount of work involved, Mr Condliffe pointed out it was a constant challenge to support communities in need. “The increase in numbers does put pressure on the budget and with community grants funding tightening up it begins to draw on resources like the Lion’s Club, particularly as smaller towns like Inglewood are in a lower socioeconomic region,” he said. “The standard of Santa’s gifts are extremely high with each of the presents valued at around $30 and we would like to keep it that way, but it all depends on funding and how much money we can raise. Needless to say, a major sponsor would be great for next year.” Mr Mangles said they would

have to spend Lion’s Club money to cover the loss, which meant other equally important causes would miss out on their support. “The Salvos have always been wonderful supporters of the event and they’ve helped us to replace some of the toys,” he said. Despite their setback, these community crusaders haven’t lost their Christmas spirit. “It’s going to be a fantastic night with a free barbecue and live entertainment, including an eight-piece local band who will provide music to some up-beat carols and Eaglehawk poet and entertainer, Geoff Graham will perform. There will also be plenty for the kids, with jumping castles, face painting, fairy floss and the salvation army resource vehicle,” Mr Saunders said. Everyone who attends will receive an electric candle, carol book and a show bag and all children under 12 registered with the Bendigo Bank or Smithies will receive a free gift from Santa. “It’s going to go off and every kid will get their present and no one will know about the dramas behind the scene,” Mr Mangles said. “Today some kids walked past my house and said; only five sleeps to go.” • Inglewood Lions Club free Christmas carols and barbecue will be held at the Inglewood Town Hall on Sunday at 5pm. • Terry Mangles has received the wonderful news that the Bendigo Bank will donate $1000, Rotary Club of Edithvale $250, the Empire Hotel $200 and local resident, George Miller, $100.

6-9 Trivia contender 9-12 Trivia king

WHEN 1000 students stood to salute headmaster Clayton Jones last week, it was difficult not to be swept up in the emotion. This firm but fair Irishman has led Girton Grammar School for 17 years and his last Speech Night marked an end of an era. Born in Ireland in 1949, Mr Jones said he was blessed by an enormously fortunate upbringing. “I was very lucky to select good parents, which I think somebody once said is the first step in success,” he joked. “My father was a very warm gregarious, outgoing man and unusually broad minded for an Irishman of his time. “He was very much a humanitarian in the way in which he saw people, he also had a very strong spiritual dimension which influenced me hugely. “My mother is very much detail-oriented and very much a perfectionist, very much a person who insists that everything is done to its best.” This insight into Mr Jones’ upbringing goes some way to explaining the contradiction that is Clayton Jones. For new students he can seem a somewhat scary character as he paces the schoolyard in an academic gown finding fault in dress and manner, but after the initial fear subsides, students usually discover a worldly, understanding and inspiring man who treats all he meets as he would wish to be treated, a mantra which he infuses into students from a young age. For the past 17 years, Mr Jones has shaped Girton Grammar School and suggests his time at St Mary’s College in Ireland set in place many of the ideas he had for Girton. “The biggest thing my school had was an enormous sense of belonging and an enormous sense of collegiality,” he said “That influenced me hugely

in terms of what you try and do at a school like this. Students here are generally cheerful, generally get stuck into their work, music, sport or drama and that is exactly the background I come from and I was very anxious to make sure that this was replicated.” Yet, the Girton of today is far from its dismal state 18 years ago. In 1992, Girton College, which had been in existence for more than a century, collapsed. Although he was warned against leading the school, Mr Jones said he saw it as a challenge. “I was walking into what really was a disaster, I don’t mean a disaster on the scale of human life at risk, but a school that had been in existence since 1884 had collapsed. There was a body of people who were very passionate to restart the school,” he said. “I like passion so the passion ignited me.” With his children at university in Sydney, Mr Jones left his senior master role at leading independent school SCECGS Redlands and headed off for Bendigo with little more than a few clothes and CDs in his car. “My first time down here was a meeting in the Strathdale Hall where John Higgs asked everybody to stand if they were going to commit $2000

INSPIRED: Mr Jones is a fan of today’s youth. thought, wow, they are serious and I was hooked at that point,” he said. Not only did Girton Grammar School provide Mr Jones with an opportunity to reignite an educational institution, he also found love when he became engaged to fellow staff member Robin Kurrle within six

months of his arrival. “It is hugely satisfying whatever job, trade or profession you go into, to reach the top,” he said. “I feel a huge amount of warmth. Not just this year but every year the students and parents and members of the community, many of whom I don’t even know, will comment to me what a good thing Girton is for the community to have a strong, vibrant, independent school. For a man who seems so certain of his convictions Mr Jones said he was not sure what career path to take. “I became a parent very young, I had two children by the time I was 24. It does teach you a lot and it is very influential. One of the reasons I became a teacher was because, with teaching it was more likely I would be able to spend a lot of time rearing my own children,” he said. In 1972 Mr Jones moved to Australia describing it as an opportunity to play more cricket. “I thought a year or two in PACKING: Clayton Jones will be leaving the job. Photos: ANDREW PERRYMAN. More photos at www. bendigophotos.com

Australia would be a lovely bit of fun before the settling down had to occur. “I thought I would be here for a year or two at the absolute max but...we are still here, the weather is better.” At last week’s Speech Night, Mr Jones commented while studying education no one told him of the significant impact it would have on his life. “Sadly, in some parts of the education industry there has been a culture that you just teach subjects and that’s it’s not actually about children and young people but this is not the case,” he said. “I have a theory that some people have to go into very high-paying jobs because they are so dull. “There are CEOs that claim they need incentive payments of a couple of million a year to get them out of bed to go to work. If they are that uninspired by their own industry, well teachers don’t need that to get out there and do a good job...neither do any people who work with people.” Not one to be swayed by media portrayals, Mr Jones said after 37 years as a teacher he felt positive about the current generation of students. “I am in no doubt at all that this generation has a huge number of positives, over and above the nonsense that you read in the papers,” he said. “When I was being reared, one of the standard mantras was children should be seen and not heard and I thought as a child that was very wrong. “The boys and girls at this school and other schools I have been to are much more articulate and they are very much more compassionate than in my day. “I just cannot understand how 50, 60 and 70 year olds say that when we were young it was a golden age and everything was perfect, I think that is a load of nonsense. I think the world is a far better place than it used to be. “I am a great fan of the youth of today, we have to be.” Despite many achievements in his 60 years, Mr Jones said it

anything for Christmas was the simple things that brought him the greatest pleasure such as the sound of junior school children giggling and enjoying themselves. “What makes me happy is when you have a very positive environment, whatever that environment is because people I think have an extraordinary capacity for misery and a somewhat muted capacity for happiness. “I find so many people will concentrate on the negative side of the ledger rather than the positive. One of the joys of young children is that they very rarely see the negative side of things, I think they have to be taught that.” From golf courses around Australia, Mr Jones said he would take an enormous, albeit distant, interest in the future of Girton

I think it is a great shame that parents have to pay significant fees because it would be lovely if children without means could come here and give life a red hot go.”

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

Mars is in the sector related to income and outgo. You may feel absolutely compelled to purchase something expensive and impractical. It is more favorable to wait out the transit and see how you feel about it in March. Meanwhile there may be more outgo than income, so use good judgment.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22):

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19): Activities concerning taxes, insurance payoffs, government funding, and loans will likely be delayed, and maybe even denied. This is a good time to talk with your partner about issues concerning joint resources. It is not a good time to attack, but to discuss and look for jointly favorable solutions.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

You may be recognizing the need to back off or back out of some of your friendships and community associations during this period. At minimum you will be reassessing why you are involved and whether you wish to continue in the future. Friends and associates from the past may resurface.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): Mars, the god of war, is in your partnership territory. Therefore it is particularly important not to attack another, verbally or physically. If you have enemies, let them make the first move and you will be assured of ultimate victory over the issue. Your significant other may be seething with the need to make changes, but it is too soon.

Mars is retrograding in the house concerning romance, children, gambling, and playful activities. While retrograding you may be strongly inclined to “go back” to a former condition in one or more of these areas. Newer romantic relationships may be put on hold for a few weeks. Mars is retrograding in your territory of home and property. Because Mars rules machinery and tools of all kinds, there may be breakdowns of household gadgetry that require repair. It is generally better to repair rather than replace these items. If you must buy a new mechanical item while Mars is retrograde, insure it was built before Dec 1.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Mars is retrograding in the horoscope sector that relates to vehicles and tools. Mars in this territory may represent the need to make repairs. Don’t ignore strange noises. It is possible that you are irritated with siblings, roommates, or neighbors, but now is not the time to initiate battle. Let them re-create the problem and then you may respond.

Your physical and libidinal energy may go into a dip for a few weeks. You may be surprised to find that you have changed your mind about circumstances and people in your life. Do not worry. You haven’t lost your mind. This is your opportunity to rethink your direction. Watch your mouth. Do not issue reprimands, lest you pay for it through the back door.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

While Mars is retrograding, you probably will not have the energy and drive to which you are accustomed. It will do little good to beat yourself up over this issue. Consider that Mars is asking you to slow down, just for a couple of months. Your body needs a rest. Things will return to normal.

Issues of career and future direction are highlighted during this Mars retrograde. You may have thought you were headed in one direction, and now suddenly you are shifting into neutral or reverse. If so, this period offers a message to think this one over for awhile. You probably need a better foundation.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20):

You likely will experience delays in activities concerning the law, education, publishing, and travel. If traveling, you may be going back to someplace where you have previously been. You may have to redo paperwork in order to accomplish the same thing in a different style or format.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

The warrior energy is now in your 6th house of work and health. Since last winter you have been moving as quickly as you can to cover all the bases and still maintain your health routines. While Mars is retrograde it is common to plateau on physical goals, such as weight loss, but it is temporary. Don’t let a plateau discourage you.

Were tramway power poles made locally?

Adding electricity to the city WHEN going around various streets of central Bendigo, namely Mitchell, View, Pall Mall and McCrae streets there are reminders of past electric companies associated with this city. In Pall Mall and View Street the central cast-iron poles supported, or continue to support, the tramways’ overhead wires. These are embossed with the name British Insulated Wire Company, Prescott, England. In Mitchell Street, Pall Mall and on the corner of McCrae and Mundy streets on the edge of the footpath there are slightly curved topped cast-iron boxes, the fronts have cast on them the words Electric Supply Company of Victoria Limited. These were junction boxes for the very large underground electric supply cables along which the direct current was fed to various parts of the city. Prescott in Lancashire England was the home of the British Insulated Wire Company. It started in 1890 and very rapidly became suppliers of electric wires, telephone, telegraph and allied insulated cables. Colonial patents were taken out for their cables and they soon had a presence in some of the colonies of Australia. Submarine cables were supplied as an example in 1899 to be laid under Sydney Harbour. Their connection to Bendigo stems from the same year, when the assets of both the tramway and

ON TRACK: The gates at Bendigo tramway depot. Photos: ANDREW PERRYMAN electric companies were bought. It was the British Insulated Wire Company which would broaden the supply network of the Bendigo Electric Company, as well as electrifying the then steam tram system that had supplanted the much earlier battery tramways. One of the advantages the British Insulated Wire Company was able to bring to Bendigo was sufficient capital to carry out the proposed works. Their first objective was to build an entirely new powerhouse and tramways depot, work on this was started in 1901 on land bounded by the Echuca railway line, Lansell, Hopetoun and Hargreaves streets. The British Insulated Wire

Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Electric Supply Company of Victoria Limited. Initial capital for the company was £200,000; this was for the power supply facility and complete renewal and expansion of the tramway system. The cast-iron tramway poles were so clearly marked because these privately-owned assets were to be placed on public roadways. A question that has not been resolved to my knowledge is where

were these tramway poles made? We know the elliptical support foot of the poles were cast right here in Bendigo by Roberts and Sons Foundry. The name Roberts was not easily seen compared to the prominence deliberately given to the British Insulated Wire Company embossing. However, the question remains were these poles also cast in Bendigo or were they imported? A similar conundrum exists in regard to the gates at the main entrance to Bendigo’s tramway depot. There is a very good chance these gates were manufactured by Roberts and Sons, however nearly all the records of this firm no long-

There are complementing elements in the design details on the tramway poles and the tramway depot gates; it is the use of stylised acanthus leaves on the poles as well as the bosses on the gates. One of the gates is swung from hinges mounted in the wall of the tramway offices, while the other gate hangs from a cast-iron slightly tapered, shaped pole with a pedestrian gate being swung off the opposite side of the pole.

At Christmas time the family comes together to eat, drink, exchange gifts and be merry. We asked some local Bendigo women how they usually spend Christmas Day and what they will be doing this year

How are you spending Christmas this year? LANIE GARDNER We usually visit my family for christmas, open presents and catch up. It’s going to be different this year because last year my daughter was too small, but now she’s older this year will be really exciting.

DENITA MCCLURE I’m having 30 people at my house for tea and cooking a hot dinner. There will be four generations ranging from the ages 1 to 86.

VICKY CHRISTIE My son, daughter in law and grand children who live in Auckland will be coming to stay with us. We will be spending Christmas Day in Melbourne with other family members. JULIE BATEY We’re doing a two state Christmas. Lunch in Melbourne with my husband’s family and then we’re flying to Hobart that afternoon and doing tea in Hobart.

KASEY SEIPOLT I’m heading to Echuca to visit my mum’s family and having a traditional Christmas lunch with all the trimmings.

It helps decongestion of the lymphatic ducts and rejuvenation of the bodies lymphatic fluid which improves circulation and detoxification as well as carrying vital substances to areas where they are needed, thus hastening healing times. The Christmas and holiday period is known as being the ‘silly season’ with poor diet and increased alcohol consumption; this can negatively impact your overall health. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a GREAT DETOX for the body… what better way to get your body prepared for or get over the festive season?

PAM FITTON As per usual my family all arrive at our house the day before and we have a wonderful Christmas lunch. We do the Christmas lights on Christmas Eve and then we have a lovely day. Christmas day we have lots of extra friends as well so we have a lovely big Christmas.

If you are thinking of buying or selling, or would just like to chat about your real estate needs, do give either of us a call anytime.

Could manual lymphatic drainage help you this holiday season?

Christmas survival guide BELIEVE it or not, it is possible to indulge during the silly season without putting on unwanted kilos and feeling guilty! Marlene (my food coach) shared her top ten tips on how to get through the holidays the healthy way. Don’t do your pre-Christmas food shopping on an empty stomach. You’re more likely to purchase healthier options whilst shopping on a full stomach. Pre-plan your Christmas meal, know exactly what you want to make on the day and ensure to include some healthier options such as low fat ice-cream for dessert. Choose a special outfit for Christmas day that makes you look and feel good. Remind yourself you want to look the same way in this outfit after the holidays. Ask family and friends not to give you chocolates, and if they do, you don’t need to eat them all in one day. Take your stash to work and share your indulgence around. For buffet style meals, allow yourself one

plate of food and enjoy it. If you need to go back for seconds, wait at least 10 minutes between plates to avoid overeating. Talk more and eat less! Stay away from the nibbles table and keep the conversation flowing as you are less likely to eat too much when engrossed in a good chinwag! Choose low fat calorie drinks or set yourself a limit. Drink a glass of water in between each alcoholic beverage to minimise over doing it. Get everyone moving after your Christmas feast. Go for a walk or play a game of backyard cricket with the kids. Ask for “active” presents from your loved ones – a gym membership, new gym shoes, gym gear or a weekend away at a health retreat. Don’t set yourself up for failure by expecting to lose weight during the festive season. Instead, aim to keep your weight stable and get back into healthy eating in the new year.

As this is the last column of the year, I’d like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and Happy New Year

Christmas a difficult time for some

C

HRISTMAS is a time of joy and happiness for most of us. However, for some this time of the year might be just another reminder of the hurt and pain of losing someone close during the year. Some people most probably wish that Christmas time was over. The following are a few suggestions which could help to make a difficult day a little easier: Plan ahead. Those people who are able to plan their events as much as possible rather than letting things ‘just happen’, tend to do relatively well. Do what feels right for you and as you become aware of your needs, tell family members and friends about them. Don’t be afraid to

try changing traditional routines. Perhaps you have always had a Christmas feast. This year you may decide to try a much simpler dinner, and you may want to have it at a different time. You may decide to dine out instead of eating at home. Gift opening can be a traumatic time too. If your custom has been to open gifts on Christmas morning, consider making a deliberate decision to change that to Christmas Eve or vice-versa. Some feel that it is necessary to put up and decorate a tree in order to make the holiday ‘official.’ Do what feels right for you and your family. If you would like a tree but don’t have the energy to decorate

it, there are probably others near to you who would be only too pleased to help. Just ask. Perhaps instead of a tree you could have a beautiful table centrepiece, or you may like to have a special candle to remember your loved one, and light it on Christmas morning. If this is your first Christmas following the death of someone close, try to remember that it most probably will be far from perfect. For many people the anticipation is worse than the event. Share with others around you what is helpful and what is not. Most of all be kind to yourself ... but remember to be kind to others too. - Brian and Lyn Leidle, Mount Alexander Funerals.

Spacious, ornate and magnificently functional T

UCKED away in a lovely quiet street, extremely close to the CBD and railway station, with a children’s playground just down the road, you really couldn’t get a better location! The gorgeously ornate, turn of the century home designed by William Beebe has a lot of Italianate influences and is loaded with heritage features such as high decorative ceilings, deep cornices, pillars, archways, open fire places and some beautiful original leadlight windows and door panels. Stunning renovations have been in keeping with the feel of the home and it now boasts Italian tiles, quality fittings and ducted heating. It is remarkably light, bright and airy, due in part to the large open rooms, big windows and skylights. A delightful alfresco area is located beside the house; it is partially undercover, leafy and private, and has direct access from the master bedroom ensuite and the dining area. Three bedrooms, two living areas including the spacious modern kitchen and adjacent dining room, and a study area incorporated into the underground

Dreaming of a house with a pool?

cellar provide plenty of living space. The block is carefully laid out with a discreetly located utility yard at the back, and a beautifully landscaped front garden leading to the alfresco area. The single garage has direct house access, and there is also a small private courtyard. Although a very imposing property with a great sense of presence and history, it is also a comfortable and very livable family home. Annette Engstrom

Perfect place to start your property portfolio t

HIs neat and tidy brick veneer unit is a great opportunity for investors. Priced in an almost nonexistent bracket for these days, it is a real chance for the young investor looking to start a property portfolio, and has a secure lease in place until June 2010. the treed, but low maintenance corner allotment in popular White Hills is perfectly positioned a mere 50 metres from a bus stop and 100 metre walk to the local convenience store. the unit comes with all the expected mod cons; a spacious L-shaped lounge/kitchen equipped with both a gas wall furnace and a reverse cycle air conditioning unit, a gas stove and an island bench meals area. there are two roomy bedrooms both with built-inrobes and a conveniently placed bathroom. the lounge has a leafy outlook to the Botanic Gardens and the small rear yard is compact but private enough for

a weekend barbecue while the single lock-up garage takes care of your vehicle or extra storage. Properties in this price range are few and far between,

don’t procrastinate on this one - it will be here today and gone tomorrow. Vicki Harrington

Versatile property in need of some love eaglehaWk

HOTONDO HOMES

ItH Business 1 zoning and a location in the heart of Eaglehawk’s CBD, plus close walking access to the lakes, sporting precinct and schools, this weatherboard and roughcast California Bungalow is worth a look. the zoning makes it suitable for medical or consulting rooms, or you may wish to make it your home. Yes it needs work, but it

retains some lovely original features such as decorative ceilings and cornices, leadlight windows, picture rails, and timber fretwork in the entry hall, to make restoring the property a worthwhile project. It offers two bedrooms with ceiling fans, plus a sleepout bedroom or study, as well as two large living rooms, and an L-shaped kitchen with electric cooking and timber cupboards.

there is ducted heating throughout, a single garage with roller door, and a fully fenced and paved backyard which is very easy-care. If you look beyond the shabbiness you will see that there is a lot of potential in this wonderfully located rough diamond. Annette Engstrom

An abundance of rural charm T

errigal means place of little birds, and this approximately eight hectare property does abound with bird life which can be watched from the return verandahs, shady alfresco area or many delightful spots in the lusciously abundant gardens surrounding the mud brick house. ideal for horses, with assorted shedding including a double garage with workshop, and a tack room and stable, the scenic property also has an abundance of water available. The front paddock has a dam with excellent runoff; and the back paddock

has an electric fence, a big dam and backs onto a creek. Three rainwater tanks total 79,500 litres (21,000 gallons) of storage. The home is a delight, with sealed brick floors, timber cathedral ceilings and a timber kitchen. it has been cleverly designed to offer lots of natural light and plenty of ventilation and cooling, and also includes a large open-fireplace and a solid fuel heater in the openplan living area. The current owners adore the ‘country feel’ and ‘peacefulness’ of the property and you will too. Directions: turn right at Kangaroo Flat traffic lights into lockwood road, cross

Calder alternate highway at lockwood crossing. Bradford road is approximately six kilometres along just past the Mohair Farm. Annette Engstrom

It’s a double-fronted Victorian weatherboard that’s been updated with character, warmth and cheer. It’s on an excellent 903sq.m block (approx.) with great shedding, a delightful child’s cubby and a magnificent mulberry tree. The home offers entrance hall, lounge, kitchen and dining area, three bedrooms and sparkling bathroom. There’s an external laundry with storage and bonus work space, a single carport, a garden shed and a big shed with a workshop. Special features include honey-coloured polished pine flooring, feature

T

o sub-divide (STCA) or not to sub-divide? That is the question - but either way, this is a terrific place in which to raise a family. At the end of a court, a whopping 1200sq.m (approximately) is the site on which a very comfy home sits leaving the best backyard a kid could ever imagine. Alternatively there is room to built a unit or two (again, STCA of course). With the benefit of ducted heating and cooling, the two living/dining areas include one which is open to a kitchen that has the advantage of a dishwasher. A glass sliding-door leads to a huge paved undercover barbecue area that becomes a great sheltered place for the kids to play outdoors on both rainy and sunny days. The study is currently employed as a children’s playroom. There are three

bedrooms, main with ensuite and all with built-in robes and ceiling fans. A shed in the back corner of the yard measures about 6x9 metres and has concrete floor and power. Very few house blocks of these dimensions exist in town these days, so buyers best be quick.

Set on approximately 30 hectares (75 acres), the recently constructed and fully-rendered residence is decadently bound on all sides by a broad return verandah. A vast outdoor, undercover entertaining zone adjoins the well-fenced

in-ground salt-water pool. Indoor living consists of two spacious lounge/dining areas, one open to the superbly appointed kitchen. A separate rumpus-room is appropriately positioned between the second and third bedroom (both of

which contain built-in robes). The main bedroom has a fitted walk-in robe and an ensuite. Maintaining a theme of old-world charm, the family bathroom features a clawfoot bath. Decorative arches and cornices, as well as hydronic heating throughout, enhance the period-style theme, though

ducted cooling is a welcome concession to contemporary comfort. A massive four-bay shed comes complete with solidfuel heating. established to run cattle, this property is a perfect example of a modern-day farm.

Prediction of property trends for the next decade

raig Tweed, principal from Tweed Sutherland First National real Estate predicts the property trends for the next decade will be driven by australia’s ageing and increasing population, global warming and technology. Darryn O’Keefe, a director at Tweed Sutherland, says the shifts and changes in our nation’s population will drive key trends in the property market. “Baby boomers are increasingly choosing to live out their retirement in their family home, elevating

issues about accessibility and safety for elderly people in their homes and demand for manageable and efficient housing,” Mr O’Keefe said. according to research, the overwhelming majority of older australians, nearly 90 per cent, want to stay in their own homes in neighborhoods they are familiar with. “Most homes are designed to accommodate larger, younger families rather than the needs of people as they age,” Mr O’Keefe said. “So there will be

a growing trend for specialized renovation services that focus on modifications to traditional home designs to help older people be more comfortable and safe, and able to stay in their own homes for far longer, and for homes to accommodate a blend of generations. “New residents to australia on the other hand, will probably seek to rent until they get themselves established, which will place greater pressure on rental markets. “With retirees staying in their homes longer,

and migrants renting, the property market will be harder and harder to enter, particularly for gen Y-ers who are becoming more discerning and demanding their own unique set of ‘home’ requirements. “gen Y-ers want properties that are wired to capitalise on today’s modern technologies, be close to their friends and social networks and, at the same time, want their home to be good for the environment,” Mr O’Keefe said. “That’s a lot to ask for in your first home, especially if

it’s an established home.” global warming will also continue to impact property trends, as energy efficient properties that collect their own water and supply their own power will grow in popularity. “Smart developers will capitalise on the growing demand for properties that are green, and i believe we will see more and more new homes delivering smarter, more efficient ways of using our precious resources,” Mr O’Keefe said. “Higher petrol prices will also drive demand for homes that are in

close proximity to public transport and with the state government’s current infrastructure plans this will prove a trend too strong to ignore.” Mr O’Keefe said the challenge for the housing industry and home owners will be to balance these competing needs, balancing traditional home ownership with retirees’ independence and gen Y-er’s desire for technologically savvy homes with maximum energy efficiency.

MAGINE a family harmony enhanced by the serenity of a home with a bushland backdrop, and containing all the space a growing clan could need. Close to a Catholic College campus, this quality Russell Parsons construction offers all this and so much more. Set on approximately 10,000sq.m of ironbark woodlands, this idyllic property invites families to relax outdoors by the seasonal dam, or beside

the manmade creek between either alfresco area. Alternatively, put your feet up indoors in one of three spacious living areas. Blending beautifully with its environment, the tasteful interior takes advantage of classic country favourites such as hardwood flooring, without use of any rustic-kitch adornments. Equipped with all kinds of wish-list ticks, the superb kitchen has a triple European-style

pantry, Bosch dishwasher, small appliance/breakfast cupboard, sleek ceramic cook-top and even a wine rack. Ducted heating and cooling, along with a huge open fireplace for ambience, maintain constant comfort. A double garage with auto panel-lift door, workshop and direct interior access adds security to vehicle and tool storage. Only a few minutes drive

Don’t Let Your

NEXT MOVE Be The WRONG MOVE! When it comes to moving house you want to know you can trust the person and company moving your precious belongings. We have all heard the horror stories on A Current Affair and Today Tonight regarding backyard movers losing furniture, turning up 2 weeks late, and so on. To avoid this situation on your next relocation ask your removalist a few simple questions:1. Are they a member of Australian Furniture Removals Association? 2. Will they provide you with a valid insurance policy on uplift? If the company you have decided to move with are A.F.R.A affiliated then you are heading in the right direction, you will receive professional service from fully qualified staff. If you have taken out insurance you will receive a valid insurance policy on the day of uplift. If you are moving locally or interstate you will have piece of mind that your goods are in safe hands.

& Roofing

Many homeowners are opting for home improvement rather than selling to buy a bigger home. It makes great sense because the money saved in agent’s fees, stamp duty and moving costs can pay for your improvements. Tom Hayes is a qualified builder with 15 years experience and a sensible approach to home renovation that helps you achieve the home you want at a price you can afford. ‘Most home owners have set a budget for improvements’, says Tom. ‘I’ll meet you on-site to discuss the work you want to do, the costs involved and what cost-saving alternatives are available.’ Tom’s services include home extension, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, fitted robes, decks, pergolas and a complete home maintenance service. He offers free quotes and reasonable rates plus project management when more than one tradesperson is required. ‘If you’re doing a kitchen upgrade, you’ll need a plumber and probably an electrician too. I can schedule reliable, qualified tradespeople to save you the hassle and time delay.’ Call Tom to discuss your building project, however big or small. He’ll give you sound advice and a free no-obligation quote. You’ll be glad you did, and happy with the result.

Finding interesting, quality ingredients for cooking can be difficult if you are coeliac, with supermarkets lacking a wide range of gluten free options and speciality stores inflating the price of gluten free ingredients. Gluten Free Choices solves this problem by providing a vast range of gluten free goods for affordable prices all in the one place. Gluten Free Choices was established by Abbie and Scott, dedicated parents with first hand experience of gluten intolerance. “I suffer from gluten intolerance and my daughter has a dairy allergy,’ said Abbie. “I completely understand the difficulties and how hard it is to find quality gluten-free products.” Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley and oats, ingredients in many everyday products such as bread, pasta and sauces, making gluten free shopping an often arduous task. With Gluten Free Choices online store there is no need to scour the aisles of different supemarkets and a wide range of quality gluten free products are only a mouse click away. “We have around 600 dry-grocery products and gourmet lines and hope to expand into chilled and frozen goods soon.” Now is the time to order your gluten free products with Abbie and Scott offering 10% off products until the end of December. The coeliacs in your family needn’t go hungry Christmas day with Gluten Free Choices delicious array of fruit cake, puddings, shortbread and gingerbread on offer. Gluten Free Choices deliver to Bendigo for just $8 per order and will post Australia wide. Dairy free and organic choices are also available. To order online visit www.glutenfreechoices.com.au or email glutenfreechoices@bigpond.com. Phone Abbie on 0435 051 481 or mail your order to PO Box 472 Golden Square 3555.

ADOPT-A-PET CALLUM, KELPIE, MALE, 12 MONTHS, BLACK & TAN

This sharp, intelligent boy is a very handsome example of a kelpie. At 12 months he still has plenty of learning ability and could potentially be a working dog or agility prospect. He is not they type of dog you would leave in the backyard, he needs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

SOOTY, DOMESTIC MED HAIR, 1 YEAR, TABBY Sooty has made a wonderful impression on everyone here at the RSPCA. He loves to introduce himself to everybody, as this results in him being picked up & cuddled. He would very much like to sleep on his new owners bed, however, he has not lived with other animals before. Please be mindful not to purchase a pet for a Christmas present. If you do want to adopt, take the time to choose wisely, as your pet is a lifelong companion, not just for Christmas. Our opening hours during the festive season are as follows: Christmas Day Closed, Dec 26th & 27th as usual, Dec 28th (Boxing Day Holiday) 10am-12pm

True spirit of Christmas BUSY TIMES: Spare a thought for the busy waitresses.

CYCLING

Sports Goss

 BACK HOME: After a hectic schedule on the professional golf circuit Heath Reed will catch up with friends at the Eaglehawk Golf Club later today. Heath is a former junior member of the club and he will play nine holes from 4.30pm before joining club members for an informal chat and barbecue tea. Eaglehawk members are encouraged to come along and welcome home the young man who is making a huge impact on the professional golfing scene.  TOP WIN: The premiership celebrations are continuing for the Tweed Sutherland First National mixed netball team after they secured the premiership in the Flora Hill indoor netball competition. The final was a great contest ending in a draw and consequently went into extra time to decide the winner with the guys and gals from Tweed Sutherland prevailing. Well done crew.  GEELONG LEGENDS: A couple of old Geelong flyers are teaming up tomorrow in the Bertocchi Challenge at the Bendigo Golf Club. Footballer turned coach turned politician Damian Drum has teamed up with former burly Cat forward Peter Johnston for the big golf day. Johnston is down in folklore as the player who replaced Gary Sidebottom when he missed the team bus to play in the 1981 preliminary final against Collingwood. After being a late replacement Johnston played a memorable game despite devouring half a chicken and a bucket of chips and a strawberry milkshake shortly before the game began.

IT could have been a time for a head count of cyclists. It was the eve of the first Christmas, Caesar Augustus had decreed a census be conducted throughout the empire. Everyone had to go to their own hometown to be listed. So Joseph, who was engaged to Mary, had to leave Nazareth in Galilee and go to Bethlehem in Judea being from King David’s family. While they were there, Mary gave birth to her firstborn son. She dressed him in baby clothes and laid him on a bed of hay, because there was no room for them in the inn. Can you imagine calling a census of all cyclists across Bendigo of past and present, commuter, recreational, Audax, competitive road, track vets, BMX, triathlete and MTB of all ages? There would certainly be no room at the inn in Bath Lane, one of the many congregational meeting places of the regular cycling fraternity. While it must have been hectic in Joseph’s time, take a moment to spare a thought for the waitresses who have to cope with lycra clad smelly bodies, having to work out who is Big Muzz or Serge, the Banker or Killer and Head wind, Scooter or the Matriarch or the Captain, just

some of the local identities in the cycling fold (along with many other names not mentionable). Speaking of expectant mothers, what a year this has been for new babies within the cycling network of cycling dads and mums. It requires more than two hands to count the large majority of first-born babes all making part of the head count.

There would certainly be no room at the inn in Bath Lane Guess this throws out the popular theory that all cyclists do is drink coffee and ride their bikes. That night in the fields near Bethlehem some shepherds were guarding their sheep. All at once an angel came down to them from the Lord, and the brightness of the Lord’s glory flashed around them. The shepherds were

frightened. But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid! I have good news for you, which will make everyone happy. “This very day in King David’s hometown a saviour was born for you. “He is Christ the Lord. You will know who He is, because you will find Him dressed in baby clothes and lying on a bed of hay.” Suddenly many other angels came down from heaven and joined in praising God. They said: “Praise God in heaven! Peace on earth to everyone who pleases God.” We are most grateful that there has been relative peace between the shared road users and cyclists, this could be due to the wonderful cycling shepherds that oversee the group’s (flock’s) etiquette. There has also been a large influx of new cyclists and we have many cycling angels who infuse the frightened with peace and understanding until they find their place on the road or in the groups and are linked into the wider cycling community at the coffee shop with everincreasing joy. When Jesus was born in the village of Bethlehem in Judea, Herod was king. During this time some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem and said: “Where is the child born to

be king of the Jews? “We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” The star they had seen in the east went on ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. They were thrilled and excited to see the star. When the men went into the house and saw the child they knelt down and worshiped Him. They took out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh and gave them to Him. Bendigo is blessed with many cycling stars of all ages who are ambassadors of Bendigo at state, national and world events. We hope in 2012 at the Olympics in London the Bendigo stars will feature so we can follow their sporting fortune. Another aspect of the community of cyclists is their heart of compassion to be moved to give when there is a need. Take this year’s event of the local fires where we witnessed the open-hearted approach in free giving. As for the wise men, they’re now bike shop owners. May “the true spirit of Christmas” rest upon you and your families with ever increasing freedom, as they angels proclaimed! See you on the road to peace soon, God willing.

 GOLF BOOK: Former Australian PGA champion Brett Ogle will sign copies of his new book entitled Sharks, Tigers and other things when he makes a store appearance at Drummond Golf tomorrow morning from 9.30am. The book has some interesting tales about some of the real characters of the game including John Daly. Ogle will then head to the Bendigo Golf Club where he is due to tee off at 12.45pm in the Bertocchi Challenge.  SPIRIT SLIDE: The Bendigo Spirit faces another daunting task this weekend when they meet the WNBL trend-setters Bulleen Boomers at The Veneto Club. After their recent 10-point loss to the Boomers, the Spirit has now dropped to fifth spot on the ladder with a testing run of matches ahead. The Adelaide Lightning is looming as the team that could replace the Spirit for a place in the finals and the two sides are set to clash at the Schweppes Centre in mid January.  DEMONS RULE: Local cricketers go into holiday mode after the completion of round eight of Bendigo District Cricket association tomorrow with White Hills already assured of victory over Strathdale Maristians. The combine was bundled out for just 58 last week before White Hills produced 4/144 at stumps. The White Hills Cricket Club is enjoying its best season in years as they go into the Christmas break on top of the ladder. The summer season resumes on January 9.  GOOD DRAW: The Bendigo Braves have been handed a favourable draw to tip off the South East Australia Basketball League season in 2010. New coach Ben Harvey cannot wait for the first-round clash with fierce rivals Ballarat Miners on Saturday, March 13. The Braves will be keen to get off to a flying start at the Schweppes Centre which will host three of the team’s first four matches. The Lady Braves have to wait until round four on April 17 before they host a home game against the Nunawading Spectres.  FESTIVE CHEER: Plenty of great racing on cup day at Moulamein last Saturday. The meeting is a bonanza for the local economy and a few prominent Bendigo residents ventured north for the big day as well as a spot of fishing. The cup was won by the eight year old gelding Nitonic.

Each year about 9000 community coaches in the Australian Sports Commission Active After School Communities program vie for the Five-Star Community Coach Award.

CRICKET fans are in for a treat when Sandhurst and Bendigo do battle for the Ron Slattery Cup at the Queen Elizabeth Oval on Tuesday, December 29. The two local clubs have been the pioneers in this city of the Twenty20 format. This year’s event signals the sixth time they have played off for

fun and rewarding experience for them,” Cathcart said. He said he was honoured to be recognised for his work with the AASC program. “It is common these days for students to turn on the television set or their computer after school rather than getting out and playing sport,” he said. “I think this project is a very important initiative and I am just proud to be part of it.” Throughout the year, Carpenter has combined tennis coaching with his teaching course at La Trobe Bendigo.

the coveted trophy which honours Ron Slattery. Ron was one of the greats of the local cricket scene as well as being named in the Bendigo District Cricket Association Team of the Century. Sandhurst Cricket Club spokesman Peter Crow said the annual game was a fitting tribute

to the local legend of the game. “Ron Slattery was a wicketkeeper who played 194 games for Sandhurst notching up 328 dismissals with 185 stumpings and 143 catches,” he said. “Ron passed away in 1999 and he is a life member of our club as well as a member of the Sandhurst Hall of Fame.”

Ogle heads the field

Sports change ď Ž A CHANGE at the top for the

Academy of Sport. Chris Hain starts as the new chief executive next month. He is sure to bring in some new ideas after recently overseeing the formation of the Loddon Mallee Football Club enabling our young soccer stars to play in a statewide competition.

QEO wish list ď Ž THE sporting fraternity will be hoping the new year brings some good cheer. The council is well aware the main sports ground in this city is in need of a major overhaul and those in control of football and cricket administration totally support any such action. The only problem for the council will be to get huge state and federal assistance for such a major project.

FORMER Australian PGA champion Brett Ogle heads a record field of 244 players in tomorrow’s Bertocchi Challenge at the Bendigo Golf Club. After turning professional in 1985, Ogle went on to play in the US Open and the Masters and in 1993 he won his first PGA Tour title at the Pebble Beach National. It will be an early start for the popular golfer as he will make a store appearance at Drummond Golf tomorrow from 9.30am where he will sign copies of his new book Tigers, Sharks and Wild Things. Then it’s off to the Bendigo Golf Club where he will tee off in the fundraiser event which also features touring professionals Heath Reed and Andrew Martin. The popular Christmas Challenge will provide big prizes.

Grant for grabs ď Ž THE next round of funding is now open for the AFS Sports Grants. Junior athletes or teams wanting to step up to the next level should apply for a funding grant; the monthly winner will be announced in the new year. It is a wonderful opportunity for our up-and-coming sporting personnel to gain financial assistance to help them to reach their potential. Simply send the details to bezzo@bendigoweekly.com.au

Among the top district players in the field are Bendigo’s Ian Frost and Chris Wilkinson, Belvoir Park star Ben Tatt, and the Heathcote duo Kris Mueck and Liam Anderson. Also in the field is National Party politician Damian Drum, former Australian cricketer Mark Taylor and well known news reader David Johnston. The fundraiser will assist the Bendigo Golf Club to buy water to keep the course alive over the summer months.

KEY TEE TIMES: • 7.57am Andrew Martin • 8.04am Heath Reed • 12.45pm Brett Ogle • 1.13pm Dean Jones CHALLENGE: Brett Ogle is raising cash.
