Regional cities are the future

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

WE are not a problem, we’re the solution. That’s what country Australia should be telling the city, according to historian Judith Brett. “There has been so much attention paid in the past few decades to the problems of the country,�

the La Trobe University academic said. “What we need now is to rebalance the debate and focus on the strengths of the country and on its potential.� Dr Brett said the pendulum began to swing back towards rural Australia when the three country-

based independents who hold the balance of power in the current Federal Government found themselves centre-stage. These were politicians with “a passionate commitment to regions�, Dr Brett said. “I saw them coming out of a long political history, when the

promise of Federation was the promise for the continent, for nation building. “The country viewpoint was made visible nationally, and that has resulted in slightly more coverage.� Dr Brett has written a quarterly essay, published this month under

the title Fair Share, about the need for Australia to re-think the importance of the country to the nation’s identity. “My sense was that, for the past few decades the city looked on the country as like welfare places, where people had to be helped to live out their lives with dignity.

IN 2006, using population forecast data, the City of Greater Bendigo confidently announced, “In 2031, the population will be 140,324, an increase of 43,781 persons (45.35 per cent) from 2006.” Just five years on, and that annual growth rate of 1.51 per cent has already had to be dramatically revised upwards. As the council embarks on a year-long update of their 2004 Residential Development Strategy, they are now working with predictions of more than two per cent annual increase. Very quickly, assumptions must be adjusted to cope with a city not of 140,000, but of 162,000 by 2031. By 2041, if the rate does not rise even further, that figure will top 200,000. And it’s not just numbers. “One of the fundamental

messages I bang on about is that we’re not just building houses, we’re building communities,” council’s Panning and Development director Prue Mansfield said yesterday. “How do we respond to people wanting to live in the city and walk everywhere, to more

tion, culture from sport to art, the look of the place from architecture and public space design – and, most importantly but difficult to measure, the identity of the place. As La Trobe academic Judith Brett put it, “the way the country understands itself is going

“We’re not just building houses, we’re building communities” and more older people, to the growing number of students? “We have a fantastic opportunity to build on the vision of the forefathers of Bendigo for a great city.” Ms Mansfield knows her population strategy will need to take into account the drivers that will change the city: the built environment, services from retail to health and educa-

through a change”. “So-called sponge cities (like Bendigo) are thriving because of the changes in things like transport, retail and the impending National Broadband Network.” Dr Brett called for a “new kind of politics”. She said it was important to bring together city environmentalists and other experts with those who inhabit the country

regions of Australia, “so that city and country can work together to find solutions”. She advocated a return to “country-mindedness”. “There is still a question of scale,” she said, “and whether regional centres can replicate the buzz from the promiscuous mix of people and ideas found in cities. “But regions and towns close to the capitals are already prospering as house prices and traffic drive people out.” How will Bendigo cope with a big population influx? And what kind of city do we want it to be? Now is the time to think about what’s ahead for Bendigo. The Bendigo Weekly, your own newspaper created by and for the city, today launches Bendigo Ahead, to investigate where we are at, where we are going and where you want to be.

Council improves By ANTHONY RADFORD

THE current City of Greater Bendigo council has been rated the best since at least 2006. The council scored a slight improvement in its annual Community Satisfaction Survey released yesterday. The survey took the opinions of 350 locals and, for the first time since 2002, results improved. The council scored an overall indexed average of 59 out of 100 in the area of Overall Performance, with 60 being adequate and 100 excellent, its highest rating since 2006. In 2010 it scored 56. Last year, the council scored 49 on Community Engagement, its lowest ever. This year, it scored 55, its highest since 2007. In the vital area of Advocacy, council scored 63, five more than last year and its highest since 2004. The only main area council dropped its indexed average was Customer Contact, down from 72 to 70. Council also performed better than last year in detailed areas.

SATISFIED: The council has received better survey results. In the detailed results, 69 per cent of people thought council had done an adequate or better job overall, up from 64 per cent last year and the highest since 2006. In Community Engagement, 59 per cent thought the council’s performance was adequate or above, up from 46 last year, and the highest since 2005. It recorded a 77 per cent rate in Advocacy, sev-

en up from last year and the highest since 2005. Council recorded its best Health and Human Services result (90 per cent) since at least 2002, and a strong jump from 36 per cent to 41 per cent in its Traffic Management and Parking Facilities. Waste Management (85 per cent thought performance was adequate or better) continued to be a strong performer, as did Enforcement of Local

www.bendigoweekly.com.au MORTGAGE STRESS SOARS The number of Bendigo households experiencing severe mortgage stress has almost tripled over the past six months. A report released by international ratings agency Fitch Ratings shows that at the end of March, 2.2 per cent of Bendigo mortgages were in arrears, up from 0.78 per cent just six months earlier. In Ballarat, 1.59 per cent of mortgages were in the same situation. In Mildura it was 1.1 per cent and in Shepparton, 1.86 per cent

of mortgages were in arrears of at least 30 days. In March 2010, 1.41 per cent of Bendigo mortgages were in arrears, and six months prior to this, the figure was just 1.15 per cent. BENDIGO HEALTH SAYS NO MERCY Bendigo Health has taken another step towards its promised new hospital when Mercy Street closed to through traffic. The City of Greater Bendigo councillors have voted in favour of the closure to make way for the New Bendigo Hospital. New Bendigo Hospital executive director David Walker said Bendigo Health was working with consultants on the finer details, which include the installation of

Laws (82) and Town Planning Policy and Approvals (62) which jumped dramatically from last year (44). Recent rain saw a drop in council’s performance with Local Roads and Footpaths, dropping to 52 per cent from 60 last year. This year’s figure is the lowest since 2002. Council chief executive officer Craig Niemann said the results showed an improvement in his organisation’s overall performance. “This year the council has improved in 10 of the 13 survey catego`ries,� he said. “We have made a concerted effort to provide more opportunities for people to engage with councillors and senior staff through listening posts and public forums which is helping the organisation to engage with the community. “As an organisation we have also been very active in advocating for the community during the last state election and also as the leading council in the development of the recently released Southern Loddon/Mallee Regional Strategic Plan.�

The Department of Defence, which owns the site, has provided copies of reports into the heritage values and environment of the Villa to the City of Greater Bendigo and the State Government. According to the Fortuna project manager on behalf of Defence, “No decision about the disposal method or the timing of the sale has been made at this stage.”

WITH the future of Bendigo’s historically significant Fortuna Villa still hanging in the balance, Victoria has no say, yet, in how it will be preserved for the future. “We can’t include it on our register,” executive director of Heritage Victoria Jim Gardner said this week. “It’s on Commonwealth land, so for all intents and purposes, it’s not in Victoria. “If they sell it, they may nominate it for (state) heritage listing, and then it will be for the Heritage Council to decide whether or not to include it in the register.” Mr Gardner said Heritage Victoria had visited the site held discussions with the Federal Govern-

ment about ongoing protection and preservation. “It’s a site that tells a very important part not just of Bendigo but also the goldmining history of the state,” he said. “It obviously needs adaptive re-use, and on a

Art by instinct By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

DON’T be fooled by the kinds of idealised images of the natural world you see in advertisements. It’s dangerous out there. A lone walker could find herself disoriented, fearful, lost. “It’s menacing, it can engulf you, when you look around and you can’t see any horizon lines,” artist Sue Rogers says. “You realise you are just another animal out there, vulnerable.” Shepparton-born Ms Rogers opened her small show at the Access Gallery in La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre on View Street yesterday.

Called Instinct and Installation, the exhibition features origami lotus shapes made from maps, as well as collages of scraps of maps and snippets of discarded paper. The artist worked as a nurse in Shepparton before studying art at RMIT in Melbourne. After another stint in the workforce, she went back to complete a Masters in fine art at La Trobe University. She says one of her favourite places for solitary walking is the regional forest outside Shepparton, where she first felt panicked by the realisation that she could lose her way. “When you are alone in the forest, it all looks the

same, and you think, did I just come along that path, or was it that one? “It’s as though you can’t trust your own bearings, not just physically, but emotionally.” Ms Rogers moved to Melbourne recently, where the only chance of getting lost will be if she takes the wrong tram. “Growing up in the country, you also have a strong respect for the natural world,” she says. “It really worries me when people just treat the countryside as a commodity.” Instinct and Inclination runs at the La Trobe University VAC until July 10.

More children needing homes than carers available

Foster care hits new crisis point

THE need for foster carers in the Bendigo region has reached a crisis point with the number of children needing a home far outstripping the number of trained carers available. St Luke’s, the only foster care agency in the region, has seen a sharp increase in the need for foster carers in the past 12 months. “We have really reached the point where we are using the word critical to describe the situation,” Amanda Knight of St Luke’s said. “On any given night across our region we have between 90 and 100 children in a foster care bed.

“To meet this demand we have 60 carer households – clearly that is not enough.” Many of St Luke’s foster care families take more than one child at a time which can help to meet demand.

“Nothing in life worthwhile doing is going to be easy” Ms Knight said there was no point glossing over the issue that foster caring was a 24-7 role and not easy. She said the accreditation process was involved and time consuming.

caring and loving environment where they are allowed to develop and grow as young individuals and valued members of our community,” she said. “St Luke’s provides

ongoing support and guidance for all carers during the foster care process.” Ms Knight said there were families in the community who were suited to becoming foster carers – natural carers and people who want to give something back to their community. “It’s not always easy, but then it could be argued that nothing in life worthwhile doing is going to be easy,” Ms Knight said.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, June 17, 2011

Dancing out HANNAH Beer and Alexander McKinnon from the Austalian Ballet had students from Strathfieldsaye Primary School moving to a different beat in dance workshops held earlier this week. This followed on from last year’s visit which featured prominently on the ABC’s Arts Nation television program. Four members of the Australian Ballet’s Dance Education Ensemble visited several schools in the region, as part of their Out There program.

“This is a fantastic program and the children jump at the chance to participate,� Strathfiedsaye’s music teacher Diane Milich said. Since the launch of the Out There program in 2006, over 15,000 children have participated in workshops, demonstrations and discussion forums. The focus is to ensure that young Australians are given the opportunity to participate in and to value dance as a form of learning, artistic ex-

pression, recreational activity and entertainment according to the Australian Ballet. All the workshops feature a variety of activities and exercises for students to enjoy and learn in a supportive environment designed to foster movement skills, promote fitness, and encourage artistic engagement. The program this year will be on the road for 15 weeks visiting major cities and regional areas across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland.

Whooping on rise REPORTED cases of whooping cough in the City of Greater Bendigo have risen by more than 400 per cent in less than two years. The surge has led the state government to extend its free pertussis vaccine program for another 12 months. Health Minister David Davis said while notifications had stabilised over the past few weeks, cases were still being reported at a very concerning rate. Mr Davis said there had been 144 cases of pertussis reported across all age groups in the City of Greater Bendigo so far this year, compared with

There’s always something to celebrate at Our Place, eaglehawk’s community centre set up in response to the Black saturday fires. This week, they celebrate 100 community breakfasts, and counting. That’s 1980 slices of bacon, 8910 sausages (enough, they say, to go

round a footy oval three and half times), and 5445 eggs. Tracey Wolsley and her team at Our Place in the heart of eaglehawk’s main street kept the numbers thing going this morning, when they released 100 balloons and then served up 100 patty cakes, to “celebrate

this milestone of cooking”. “Our breakfasts are a great social time,” Ms Wolsley said. “It’s a time when our volunteers can all come together, and along with the business community, it’s just good fun.” Our Place has now added Our shed and

Our house to their community assistance network, helping out with tools and firewood in the shed, and selling arts and craft, plus Fairtrade coffee and gifts in the house. Ms Wolsley said there was now a team of about 70 volunteers, all helping out at the centre.

ENTRIES for our Win a Honeymoon competition have been pouring in this week with a great sampling of weddings from the past 60 years. As Bendigo Art Gallery prepares for the blockbuster The White Wedding Dress exhibition, which opens on August 1, locals are remembering their own day, helping us to compile an archive of this part of our social history. In the 1950s, brideto-be Ethel (Rikki) Main spent about six months planning the day she would wed her prince charming, fiance Jim Oliver at Holy Trinity Church, Coburg on June 15, 1957 – yes, they celebrated their 54th anniversary this week. Rikki designed the dress herself, making a sketch. She bought the fabric, some of which she thinks may have been curtain material, before taking both to the maker. “I had it made by a dressmaker in a little shop in the city,” she said. “I can’t remember how many times I went for fittings. We didn’t carry on about a line of not-quite straight stitching or trivial things”. Rikki was delighted with the result and as her picture shows, she looked resplendent. Six months later Jim received an invitation to a fancy Lodge function at 9 Darling Street, South Yarra, so the frugal Rikki took her dress back to her dress-

Toxic carbon tax

Hartlands road, indeed all roads out of the neilborough area have been flooded three times between October and March. Council stated they graded Hartlands road in October – I’m not sure that happened – even if it did, the damage was done after the supposed grading. It was flooded three times, and not graded in nine months from October to June. the spring and summer rainfall of a minimum of 650mm caused huge road damage and flooding, yet council still chose not to grade this road when they have graded nearly every other road in the area. Hartlands road is a main thoroughfare that goes ungraded and is becoming more dangerous by the day. the raywood/neilborough road is one of the roads that has been graded, however, the intersection of Hartlands road and the raywood/ neilborough road has been graded down to bare smooth clay which becomes glassy even with the tiniest bit of rain, it becomes a skid pad and it is difficult to get around the corner. It is now winter and rain is coming, no doubt council will say the usual “we can’t grade the road when wet”. Winter is wet so why is it not being graded now, before the rain? I ask council again what have I received for my rates in the past two years since moving to neilborough? Prior to that I lived for 16 years at Bagshot (same council ward) and got nothing for my rates there either. Just because I choose to live out of the CBd does not mean I donate my rates to the CBd. When is council going to start looking after the entire City of Greater Bendigo instead of the minority who live in town. If you want to spend so much on the townies then charge them more rates and at least put our rates back into our area, especially where safety is concerned.

desPIte Michelle Goldsmith’s rambling letter in the Bendigo Weekly, June 3, she failed to explain why australians should be subjected to the most aggressive carbon pricing scheme in place anywhere in the world. this tax will bring unnecessary hardship to australians, with higher living costs that will continue to rise for years, long after any compensation is paid and have no impact on the world’s climate whatsoever. Japan, russia and Canada have seen the light and will not be part of any global scheme that fails to include China. Unfortunately we have Julia Gillard determined to take australia all alone down a different path without the support of the people. Carbon tax supporters who use europe as an example in carbon pricing are being mischievous. eU policy is to protect the eU economy first and foremost. an economy that is as different to australia’s as chalk is to cheese. We must understand that europe, unlike australia, has no resources to mine and market, its electricity generation industry is exempt from carbon pricing and heavily polluting industries were exported to third world countries years ago. If those formulating this tax believe the eU is leading the way, why do they refuse to follow the european path and impose a punitive tax on goods imported from nations without a carbon pricing scheme? Without such a tax many manufacturing companies in Bendigo such as thales will be unable to survive against an avalanche of subsidized imports. this will result in many skilled workers needlessly losing their jobs. I would remind Michelle that the climate of this one unique planet has been forever changing since its creation and no tax on carbon will stop that.

EU shows way last week the productivity commission released its report into climate policies and it confirmed that “no country currently imposes an economy-wide tax on greenhouse gas emissions or has in place an economywide ets”. this is a humiliating outcome for the Gillard government as other countries are showing you don’t need a carbon tax to take action on climate change. It comes after the Garnaut report concluded that the cost of living will go up with a carbon tax stating “australian households will ultimately bear the full cost of a carbon price”. When an ets was introduced in the european Union, electricity prices rose by approximately 15 per cent. Industry reports in australia are predicting a 30 per cent hike if the carbon tax is imposed. What must be remem-

bered is that the eU ets model is 20 times smaller than the proposed Gillard carbon tax. the eU scheme only raises $500 million per year, while Ms Gillard is proposing to raise a staggering $10 billion per year from the carbon tax and future ets; this is 20 times larger than the eUs model, however the australian economy is 16 times smaller than the eU. With the government’s recent history of a failed insulation scheme and school hall rip-offs, do they honestly believe we are naïve enough to believe they can perfectly implement a scheme of such magnitude while magically avoiding the pitfalls of tax evasion, fraud and market manipulation which cost the eU economy over $500 billion in lost tax revenue? Has the government factored in these costs when they tell us a carbon tax is the cheapest way to reduce carbon emissions?

the evidence is stacking up fast that the costs of Ms Gillard’s tax scheme will be another unfair hit on the household budgets of central victorians and all australians.

son with a disability. the café was not full of customers but this person was expected to have a hot drink outside in the cold. It would have only meant perhaps moving a couple of able-bodied customers to allow this person to have a drink inside in the warm. I am sure no reasonable person would be refused service in this café or expected to sit outside when tables were available inside. When service was refused this person may not have responded well but you must consider the embarrassment and humiliation at this refusal. How would you feel if you had a disability and were treated in this despicable and unlawful way? discrimination against disability is not a grey area. Please be warned it is against the law.

increasing the population. About five years ago, these same politicians acted surprised when there was a water crisis, when more babies were being born than ever before, when more people than ever were presenting to hospital emergency departments, when housing affordability was decreasing, when class sizes were getting too big and when industrial land was being chewed up. Only now, and with some pain, are governments starting to do something about the present, and the future. Growth in places like Bendigo shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who lives here. Most of us love it. All of those who moved here from somewhere else love it. But, will we continue to love it in 2041 if our population is 200,000? Do the people who were born

Editorial Comment

here and have seen the rapid growth in the past 20 years still love Bendigo? When we talk about growth, we often talk about strategy, and the City of Greater Bendigo council is very good at strategies. The council also talks about community, focussing their strategies on what people want and need to do. But what about identity? Do those born here over the age of 30 still think Bendigo is a large country town? Do those in one of the ever-growing lists of struggling suburbs in Bendigo care about future-proofing the city? Do they want to see more money spent on their footpath, their road and their park, or on a roadside billboard at Tullamarine advertising the next big Art Gallery exhibition? These identity issues will form an important part of Bendigo Ahead, the Bendigo Weekly’s new series on the city’s growth. While it will discuss the importance of growth, and what is driving growth, it will also look at what that means to who we are – our identity.

v i e w p o i n t opinion IN the years after the Goldrush, Bendigo was a terrible place to live. Central Victoria, and the entire state, could not cope with the large population growth. There were obvious infrastructure shortfalls, such as housing, health, water, sewerage and services. However, there was also major social upheaval, not the least because of the obvious tensions around gold and the addictive pursuit of it. There were also tensions in the population about the scarcity of such services and the lack of planning by the authorities of the time. Scoot forward 160 years and we are in a similar position. While the next 30 years will not see as large a population boom as Bendigo’s first 30 years, percentage wise, there are issues that need to be faced. In the 1990s, governments of all persuasions at all levels decided to make regional areas desirable, to make them an attraction. On top of this, they made policies about driving growth, including

BENDIGO’S big agricultural shows are dragging their heels on opportunities to team up with the rapidlygrowing food and wine events of the region. “We would love to be involved with the Sheep Show in Bendigo,� Flynns Wines and Heathcotean Bistro administrator Helen Bethune said this week. “We have begged on emails, and made all kinds of suggestions, but we have had no response from anybody,� she said. Flynns was part of last weekend’s Heathcote on Show wine and food event which Ms Bethune said was “massive�. “We were booked out a week ahead and we could have filled our bistro three times over,� she said. “I know some people get very angry about it being affiliated with Bendigo, but we can both leverage off each other and that’s wonderful.� The vineyard and bistro was set up in 1998 by Greg and Natala (pictured) Flynn, on Lewis Road north of Heathcote. With an orchard and kitchen garden, they specialise in a menu featuring locally-sourced produce. It is with their signature dish – slow-cooked lamb shank glazed with maple syrup, mustard and or-

ange – that the Flynns hope to spark the interest of the Sheep Show, held at the Bendigo Showgrounds in July. “We already do a special weekend for our lambshanks-and-shiraz, so it’d be easy to tie that in with the show,� Ms Bethune said. “I know these events are hard to co-ordinate, but this is the kind of thing that is so good for Central Victorian food and wine tourism.� The Heathcotean lamb shanks are cooked for six hours in a rich, aromatic sauce Ms Bethune calls, with a laugh, “heart-attack sauce�. “People are so food savvy these days,� she said. “They want to know where the vegetables come from, where the meat is sourced, they love that connection. “And we do like to have country serves, so when the plate is put in front of people, their response is ‘wow’.� With the success of the Heathcote on Show weekend, Ms Bethune warns people to book early for the

next big festival, the Heathcote Wine and Food Festival, on October 8 and 9. “We get a lot of locals, who know us already, and people who come to the area who book in year in and year out,� she said. Flynns Wines and Heathcotean Bistro is at 29 Lewis Road, Heathcote, off the Northern Hwy to Echuca. Cellar Door and Bistro are open for lunch, until 4pm, Saturday and Sunday: 5433 6297.

pick of the week The Roving Party

Rohan Wilson Allen & Unwin, $27.99

BendigoWeekly

IT has been a fair while since something as memorable as Kate Grenville’s Lilian’s Story (1984) or Andrew McGahan’s Praise (1991) came out of the Vogel’s Award. It’s almost as if The Hand That Signed the Paper by Helen Demidenko (1993) soured its reputation, although the rise of creative writing courses has also meant a different kind of novel seems to be dominating the under-35 writing scene. This year’s winner, The Roving Party by Rohan Wilson, is very bold, and a strong piece of writing, but as a story, it is loose and difficult to engage with. It is set in Tasmania in 1829, and describes a vicious assault on the Aborigines, led by

one of the future founders of Melbourne, the ruthless John Batman. Wilson builds the narrative across several characters, including Black Bill, who was brought up by white colonists and who is fixated on killing the Aboriginal warrior, Manalargena. It’s a dark project Wilson has taken on, and he has chosen a slow but economical style for the task. The reader is dropped straight into the time and place, abruptly, and this is disorienting. The Vogel’s judges said it was a “surprisingly beautiful evocation of horror and brutality�: not sure what they mean by beautiful, except that perhaps they are

referring to the self-consciously poetic language. – Rosemary Sorensen Online at www.bendigoweekly.com.au/ book-club/ this week’s book news and Top Ten, supplied by Dymocks Bendigo. Join the bookclub, and we’ll send you a book to say welcome: email to bookclub@ bendigoweekly.com.au.

Scratching the Katich

Friday, June 17, 2011 – Bendigo Weekly

I’m in a spin over the selectors’ dismissal of working-class Simon WHAT a bloody joke. That’s the risk you take with big decisions. If you’re known as a bit of a wag (not the pouting in the grandstand in over-sized sunglasses variety) and you decide to finally make one, a lot of people think you’re kidding around. The setting is usually around the tea table: You stand up, clear your throat and give the glass in front of you a tinkle with your spoon, for comic effect, to proudly announce you’re going to do something big. Like join the police force, support the Gold Coast Suns or vote Greens. That little tinkle wasn’t needed though, as your speech triggers a chorus of stifled chortling, before your mum eventually steps in with a diplomatic “Hang on everybody, I think he’s being serious”. It’s the same with the Australian cricket selectors. They’ve been so unintentionally hilarious in recent years, it gets to the point where most cricket lovers think they’re now purposely taking the p*ss. But unfortunately they

BEN CAMERON ON LIFE

weren’t gagging when they gave 56 Test stalwart Simon Katich his bat and ball and told him to go home last week. Despite the seriousness of the announcement, Cricket Australia chief executive officer James Sutherland couldn’t resist his employer’s penchant for comedy, with this “ol’ one-two” routine. Sutherland opened with the diplomatic setup of “Simon has every right to feel bitterly disappointed”, before delivering the kicker: “I’m sure the door’s not entirely closed on him”. No it hasn’t entirely closed, James. “Kato” has already karate-kicked it off its hinges. Things were strangely quiet on the Twitter front from new captain Michael Clarke however. I was expecting a bit of “All the best Simon, we’ll miss your firm grip on things around the dressing room”.

But nothing. Lara Bingle has obviously left and taken his tweeting thumb with her. Like “Pup” however, the rejection of Katich was almost as well received as his promotion to skipper. Even Defence Minister Stephen Smith called it an “atrocity”, much like his namesake’s batting technique. But the hard facts are, after the national debacle which was The Ashes, hard decisions had to be made.

The selectors had to make a statement. And they did. Unfortunately, the cricket public interpreted that statement as “We pinned the names Hussey, Ponting and Katich on a dartboard, blindfolded ourselves and axed whoever we hit first”. Considering their poor judgement in recent seasons, that game of darts probably went on all morning and most of the afternoon before a name was

finally struck. Seriously though, Kato was probably more a victim of politics and perception than anything else. Over a stuttering 10 year career, most cricket pundits have likened watching Katich bat to watching your Dad attempt the electric boogaloo – awkward, seriously lacking in flair and a style reminiscent of a bygone era. If they were going to cull a veteran batsman, rightly or wrongly, Katich was the man. Despite stepping down from the throne, Ricky Ponting is still the unofficial king of cricket, with a few credits left, and leadership advice too important to lose. Want to set a field to spin? Ring Warney. Going a bit thin on top? Ring Ashley (and Martin). Then there’s the tefloncoated Mike Hussey. He was once compared to Don Bradman, a nicer bloke you apparently could

not find and is a man who really loves his job. Luckily he didn’t carve out a career in the tissue industry, or he’d be known as Mr Sneeze instead. It’s taken anyway. But by comparison, Katich comes up a little short (although that never derailed Phil Hughes’ career aspirations). The Achilles injury to Katich didn’t help, nor did his perceived place in the team. In an age where looks are of paramount importance, in a team high on metrosexual content, Katich’s old man stoop and occasional beard, doesn’t quite gel with a clean cut, manscaping Australian team. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me if professional sporting teams start employing a Style Coach. Or maybe they have, considering the beautifully manicured bonces of Nick Malceski, Jimmy Bartel and Brendan Goddard in the AFL. That wouldn’t suit a blue-collar cricketer like Simon Katich. So maybe his time really was up after all.

JAMES LERK buckling Italian called Carlos Da Pra. The name Da Pra means “from the meadow”, yet in our case he was active in the jungles of the Federated Malay States, not only as a prospector and miner, but also as an intrepid hunter. Signor Carlos Da Pra was no ordinary hunter. He had managed, in the region where he was to discover gold, to shoot a Seladang bull which had

This find by Da Pra led him to discover the source of the gold, and only two weeks later he had located the reef from where the gold came. There are other reports of Da Pra in The Straits Times. By April 1896 he is identified as being at Batu Bersawah, and it is clear that he held a concession to enable him and some of his backers to mine the reef that he

igonian, Mr Hogge, was then appointed as mining manager. The Straits Times reporter went on to say: “I understand that Mr Da Pra is still the concessionaire of Batu Bersawah and is acting generally as superintendent. “He informs me that the fixing of ma-

Another more serious report appeared in The Straits Times, January 17, 1898, where it was mentioned that the concessionaire of Mr Da Pra was in serious financial trouble. He had mailed $1000 Straits Dollars to Singapore; this money was lost in transit, the result being that there was insufficient finance to keep operating. Signor Carlo Da Pra, was not one to throw in the towel. He determined to see if he could interest investors back in Italy to develop the gold mine. According to the Malay Mail, of August 5, 1899, “He is to return to his native Italy for the purpose of getting together a syndicate to prospect certain land adjoining Batu Bersawah Company property.” It seems he relinquished his interest as that mine was later successfully developed by Odgers. The sequel to this story appears in The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser, January 6, 1913, where the death, at Kuala Pilah, of Carlo Da Pra is recorded.

THE mining industry is deeply indebted to the prospectors, who were often solely responsible for locating mineral finds in most areas of the world. These mineral finds were then frequently exploited by others; a sole prospector was usually not in a financial position to do this by himself. In the past months I have sketched out the working life of Cornishborn mine manager and Bendigonian Benjamin Odgers. Like thousands of others in the industry, he owed his employment largely to the prospector. I did mention the prospectors who had discovered gold at Kalgoorlie and also Coolgardie. In a similar way the gold resources of the Federated Malay States were discovered and made known by prospectors. The Batu Bersawah Gold Mining Company that operated in Negri Sembilan had its gold resources discovered and first opened up by a prospector, in this case perhaps somewhat surprisingly, a swash-

houses the Atisha Buddhist Centre with its retreat buildings and monastery. At Mr Green’s invitation, they were touring the latest stages of the stupa’s erection, the bones of a building which make it clear just how grand it will eventually be. It is slow progress. This is not a quick-make building: the steel and concrete is reinforced to a degree that will ensure the construction lasts for 1000 years.

THE expectations for the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion slowly rising on a hill on the outskirts of Bendigo are very big. As former advertising executive Ian Green rolls out the plans on a table in the modest office at what was once a colonial-days theme park, the grandiosity of the vision is overwhelming. Here will be the houses for the lay community, over there the retirement village accommodation. A hotel and visitors’ centre was not part of the vision outlined by Lama Yeshe in 1981, but Mr Green has upped the ante for the 150acre site at Myers Flat. There will be a 60-room hotel, an interpretive centre, and temples representing each of the different Buddhist traditions. All this will be in support of the central object: The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion, based on the mighty Great Stupa of Gyantse in Tibet, 50 metres high and 50 metres wide. Many statues, artworks, landscaped gardens, will grace the Great Stupa, making it, Mr Green hopes, a drawcard not only for the growing numbers of Buddhists, but also for those curious to see the largest stupa, or sacred monument, in the

STUPA UPDATE

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS: Ian Green shows the City of Greater Bendigo council the progress of the stupa. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN.

Keeping the council up to date and onside is important, because this project has enormous potential to draw visitors to the region. But far more crucial is the support of the Buddhist community. Mr Green says so far $5 million has been either raised or committed to the building, which will take $20 million to complete. Mr Green, now in his 60s, became interested in Buddhism when he was in his 20s. He was living fast and hard as an advertising executive in Melbourne, and found himself concerned that he would literally burnout if he kept on at that pace. He took off overseas, and in India happened upon Isipatana, one of the four places of pilgrimage named by the Buddha. “I just felt something

there, a great peace, and I realised this was the deer park where the Buddha taught,” he says. “I bought a little book on the teachings of the Buddha, and discovered this was about things I knew about.” The site of the Atisha Centre is better known by older Bendigonians as the home of Sandhurst Town, which Mr Green’s father set up as a tourist attraction. When that venture closed down, a victim of the escalating costs of public liability insurance, the land was made available for the Atisha Centre, and then later increased to encompass this different kind of attraction, which Mr Green identifies as “well-being tourism”. “There is nothing like this anywhere in the world,” he says. “The monastery and retreat centre won’t be on the

tourist route, but the Great Stupa will be a very public building. “We are all influenced by the architectural reality around us, and the aim is to broaden people’s minds to a spiritual life.” As a small team of workers prepares to pour more concrete, under the watchful eye of a fierce-looking golden statue whose job it is to remove obstacles from the project’s path, the Great Stupa looks both a reality in progress and a madly ambitious unlikelihood. For Mr Green, it is certainly a lesson in patience. “People ask, of course, when it is going to be finished,” he says, busy with plans to take the Jade Buddha, one of their major fundraising projects, to China. “It’s all dependent on donations – I don’t do schedules anymore.”

ENTERTAINED

MARK MY WORDS BEN CAMERON Mark Seymour is a changed man. Not at his inner core mind you; he’s still the same talented tunesmith, committed to finding emotional truth in song. But rather the method behind finding that truth has altered slightly. “My songwriting style has changed,” Seymour says, who gave the world Australian anthems, “Throw Your Arms Around Me” and “Holy Grail”. “I started putting songs together based on narratives and story telling.” His last album, 2007’s Westgate, was first evidence of that revised method. “A lot of it (Westgate) was stories from people’s lives, that I researched,” he says. “There were real people on that record, possibly less so on this one (Mark Seymour and the Undertow). I opened up a door there, the idea of documenting the lives of everyday people. “I’m really devoted to songwriting and I like the idea that I can tell stories live. “When you actually start grappling with everyday

events that are real, songs tend to have a lot more resonance and impact for people.” It’s a change of direction from the more reactionary days of Hunters and Collectors. “I was a lot more at the mercy of where the band went,” he says. “There were a lot of people in that group, energies working in multiple reactions, I tended to just react a lot to what was going on around me. “There are songs from that period that I still play, perhaps ones I wrote where I had a lot more control over the process. “I could actually sit down and work out what I wanted to say in advance, whereas a lot of the material I wrote was really reactive. “I’m not being critical, it’s just a different way of working.” Mark Seymour and the Undertow was recorded in three days, somewhat sharper than it took to find the songs to fit: nearly two years. “I tend to accumulate songs pretty slowly,” he says. “I’m reluctant to go in and start recording until I’m on to something.” It was completed late last year, with his newish band that has solidified since Westgate. “Musicians seem to come and go,” he says. “As time goes by these

guys have decided they really like working with me. “We work a lot, we pretty much work all year. “Back in the old days it was more of a seasonal process where you would work in the summer, do a couple of tours and then have a heap of time off.” The old days belonged to Hunters, who became Australian pub band royalty. And Seymour has the proof. “One of the guys in the group has kept a photographic diary of every gig I’ve played, it’s pretty impressive,” he says. “A lot of the places don’t exist anymore, they’ve been knocked over or whatever. But it wasn’t that difficult, google is a pretty good resource.” Like Westgate, his first LP in nearly four years is about telling other people’s stories. Even if it’s just padding out overhead conversations, like second track off the album, “I Know Too Much About You”. “It’s something I’ve heard someone say,” he says. “I can’t remember when it was but it struck me at the time. “You use aspects of your personal life. But when it comes down to sitting down and writing a song, your imagination just takes over. “I draw events together that are quite disparate, and put them into the same frame-

work, the song, to try and have an impact. “But my ultimate aim is to create mood and feeling. “That stems from how I’m feeling, but not all the time. “Sometimes I look at what’s being said between two people in a room and it strikes me I get where they’re coming from, I’ve had that experience myself.” Seymour says this creative channel is most apparent on album track, “Little Bridges”, a duet with Frente’s Angie Hart. “You see other people having conversations that you’re not involved in, but they’re actually talking about you,” he says. Then there’s opening track “Castlemaine”. A “convict song”, about a vagabond who gets into trouble on the goldfields. “That’s a good example of the imagination going completely off the dial,” he laughs. “Castlemaine has a fantastic mood about it, it has this brooding presence. “It’s a real hangover from what regional Victoria was like over 100 years ago.” Despite a busier schedule these days, the father of two wouldn’t have it any other way. “I’m enjoying it now more than I ever have,” he says. Mark Seymour and the Undertow is out now.

GIGFEST (Winter 2011) kicked off in splendid style once again on Saturday, with local music icon and founder of RockPride Music Albert “Skip” Skipper opening the show with an acoustic set, accompanied by RPM bass guitar specialist Ben Gibbons. Skip suffered through a recently acquired hand injury to nonetheless give great value, as always – not the least of which was an exquisitely performed interpretive (table-top) dance routine to Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights” (played through Skip’s iphone, held up to the mic by Ben).

Only at Gigfest people, only at Gigfest. Another highlight of the action-packed show at the Newmarket Hotel, from this humble drummer’s perspective was TJ (Talisa Jobe), who mesmerised audience members yet again with her sublime performance, including another new masterpiece of a tune to open her set. The success TJ is achieving and attention she is attracting, in the industry in Melbourne as well as locally, is well and truly deserved. The Sheriffs ripped into a fun-filled and rugged set of their own very special brand of country/rock while Blackbird showed

El Montez (featuring the song-writing prowess of Bridget Keena) shook the walls with their recently acquired drummer, Tim Young, supplying a thundering foundation for Bridget and the very colourful Sean Taylor on bass.

Gigfest veterans AntiSocial Commentary, Master of None, The Bride Stripped Back, Fall of Dawn and the mighty Lee Rosser all gave the kind of solid and dynamic performances that have endeared them to Bendigo music fans over the last few years. Full story at www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Chris Holton will perform for the circus I remember my first after my appetite was whetted reading Enid Blyton’s Hurrah for the Circus series as a wee tacker. It was Silvers Circus, fronted by TV personality-comeringmaster Tommy Hanlon (remember him? From Pot O’ Gold with Bernard King?) Sprawling somewhere in the back blocks of Oakleigh (a Melbourne outer suburb), we could see the elephants in the paddock as we looked for a park. I was jumping out of my skin at the thought if seeing the animals, now not so PC, the flying trapeze artists, all bathed in the glare of the footlights... It was loud noisy fun. Save for one or two diehard companies like Silvers, the ‘old school’ circus is hard to come by these days. They have transformed into outfits like Circus Oz, Cirque Du Soleil, the Flying Fruit Flies, or my fave, the Jim Rose Circus (more at the freakshow end of the spectrum). Suffice to say, nowadays we look elsewhere for our carnies and thrills. This weekend Star Cinema steps into the breach with a circus night at Eaglehawk’s grand old dame of a Town Hall, which has been home to a local cinema – on and off – for

the best part of a century. Operating as a non-profit community-owned project since April 2005, Hannah Morton is the Star’s program manager – a bit of a carnie herself. Both she and business manager Sonja Gibbons jobshare running the venue, which she says, still, after all these years of serving the local community, “runs off the smell of an oily rag”. “It’s our fundraisers and special events that mostly keep us going,” she adds. “Regular attendance, loyalty, word of mouth – these are the things that keep us afloat”. And a bit of ingenuity. To make the most out of their season of Water For Elephants – the latest circus film which just happens to come with rave reviews – Hannah and Sonja have cooked up a flying fundraiser. From 6.30pm tomorrow (Saturday) night the Star will transform into a big top for one night only. The program will feature a “circus-inspired atmosphere”, food, the film of course, and local acrobats. “We’ve got the No Fear Circus… They’re a group of hugely talented local youth who can do all sorts of crazy things with their bodies!” ,Hannah explains, excited. A “slideshow of great cir-

cus images” will also grace the cinema’s screen, while patrons tuck into a sit down twocourse meal of winter fare. When you think about it, perhaps cinema is our modern-day circus, or at least one of the ways we as a community can watch a thrilling spectacular and share experience. Kinda rare in this age of the individual. Which makes Hannah our local ring master – or mistress – one who provides an alternative spectacular given the arthouse and international movies she programs at the Star. “I think there would be a gaping hole in the cultural centre of Bendigo if the Star wasn’t around,” she says. “I think our patrons feel a sense of involvement with the Star, even if they only come occasionally. “We need people to come whenever they can and support film and independence in the arts.” You heard the lady. Roll up roll up. The circus is in town. It’s not only your chance to have some fun, it’s also the opportunity to keep our own local big top alive, hopefully for generations to come.

something new to look at, an improvement made or a new facility implemented for guests and patrons,” Kathie said. “Our event calendar is developing well, with fun, social weekly events like poker, bingo and trivia competitions all with cash prizes, and big events like the Bee Gees Tribute Show booked for a fantastic night on July 1.” Regular event updates are posted via the All Seasons Bendigo facebook fan page, and a brand new website is under construction for further information.

Holiday exercise can be fun I hit the breakfast bar. I also booked accommodation at a hotel that has a gym, so I use that as well as running. But if that hotel gym isn’t an option, and running isn’t your thing, why not consider hiring a mountain bike to get you around the town for a day. It’s usually cheaper, and

mine, then do a set number of laps each hour, or before you order your next cocktail, whichever come first. Check out active tourist attractions like white water rafting, mountain trail riding, learning to surf, trekking to the volcanic rim, or take some local dance lessons. Whatever your passion, there is always something

“Why not consider hiring a mountain bike to get you around� the extra car tyre around the middle that you’ve found while you’ve been away. Personally I don’t. So while I am currently away for a month of holiday fun. I’ve made a plan to ensure I stay in shape. How do I do it? Pretty simple really. I packed my runners and training gear, and made a commitment that every morning upon waking, I go for my five kilometre or three mile jog given I am in the US, before

parking is easy and you get to see so much more. It’s potentially safer especially since they drive on the wrong side of the road. Or go for a long walk on the beach and throw in a couple of burpees (squats). Ever done burpees on a beach? Not easy. If you’re on a cruise ship or a hotel with many floors, take the stairs every opportunity you get. If lounging by the pool is more your style, as it is

you can do that is active, even if it’s every second day of the holiday. The most important thing about a holiday is to remember that they end. So just because you may have taken time out to rest and relax from your regular fitness routine, when you return home, it is also time to return to the gym. See you all when I get back – fighting fit and ready for the next adventure.

ADOPT-A-PET

BOOF

AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG, RED MALE, 18 MONTHS

I am an outgoing dog who enjoys interacting with people and other female dogs. I am a bit full of myself around other male dogs and I do need some work in this area. I am not excessively active but do enjoy a nice walk. I have a sharp mind and can learn new lessons quite quickly if I am educated in a calm but assertive way. Whilst my breed is not for everyone, Cattle dogs are known for their devotion and have been known to lay down their lives in defence of their “pack”. MILO

DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR, GINGER/WHITE MALE, 3 MONTHS

Hi, I’m Milo! I am very quiet and I am very gentle. I believe I would be suited to a lifestyle that is quiet as noise can scare me a little bit, so I would be better suited to a family with older children or any individual. I do love to sit on your lap and be patted a lot. I will be Desexed once I am adopted.

The Bendigo RSPCA has many pets available at the shelter, If you are thinking about adding a new member to your family or you have lost a pet, then please feel free to come down and meet our beautiful animals. We have a variety of animals that will suit what you are looking for and you just never know who you’ll fall in love with. LOST YOUR DOG OR CAT? Piper Lane, East Bendigo

Schultz wins tour BRENDAN Schultz wrapped up the Bendigo Cycling Club’s prestigious 2011 fivestage Tour of Bendigo event on Monday. Schultz recorded a time of 08:08:13 seconds for the gruelling event, with seven seconds in accrued bonuses proving to be the difference between the consistent rider and second placed Leigh Egan. In B-grade, Marcus Cook held off Peta Mullins to claim the title by just one second, while in C-Grade, it was Sam Walcher who proved victorious with an overall margin of 29 seconds to second placed Martin Byrne. Club officials said 100

young riders from across the state competed over two days, with locals Isaac Buckell, Robert Oakenfull and

Alexander Evans all winning their respective divisions. Visitors Josh Thompson and Adam Jackson also won.

Long road to recovery after crash JUST over a year ago, Mark Foggitt was a healthy vibrant energetic contributor to the Bendigo Cycling Network at the popular Saturday morning group rides. Cycling was a big part of Mark’s life, and he had also been quite a serious runner for many years before making the switch to cycling. Mark consistently averaged around 350 kilometres per week, and part of this was commuting to work. Mark also had a competitive nature and would regularly test himself on a 40-60 kilometre circuit he had devised. His best time was 40 kilometres in 57 minutes 18 seconds, only a week before his whole world was literally tipped upside down. While riding to work one day, Mark’s life suddenly changed when he was hit from behind by a light commercial delivery van with a bumper bar. The incident gave Mark the horrific sensation that

His injuries were shocking, and included burst fractures to L1 and L2 lumbar vertebrae, stable fractures to T5 and T10 vertebrae, a fractured right shoulder blade, multiple rib fractures, head injuries, broken teeth, multiple cuts, sprained ankle, and a lot of skin off his back and shoulders. Fast forward about 14 months and a long and painful rehabilitation, and Mark says his doctors feel he has reached approximately 75 per cent recovery and will be hopefully 90 per cent in another 12 – 16 months.

So if you could share a message what would it be to all shared road users? “I would say to all road users to obey the road rules. “Be patient – another minute or two to get where you are going does not really matter. Whether you are a cyclist or in a vehicle everyone needs to pay more attention. “Some of the younger generation seem to think texting is acceptable while driving, but remember it is illegal and even small lapses in concentration can be disastrous.” Cyclists need to stay in the cycling lanes wherever and whenever possible. Out in the carriageway riders are too vulnerable and it only increases the risk of a crash, as well as the animosity that seems to exist sometimes between drivers and riders. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing. ested in nominating for the committee is asked to please email jharvey@britafe.vic. edu.au prior to the meeting.

BLOODS BATTLE ANOTHER much anticipated grand final rematch between South Bendigo and Golden Square headlines a big round 10 in the Bendigo Football Netball League this weekend. The Bloods will be looking to mark the QEO game of the round with an improved performance against one of the most consistent teams in country footy. In other games, Castlemaine is at home to Kangaroo Flat, Maryborough hosts Eaglehawk, Strathfieldsaye plays Gisborne at Tannery Lane and Sandhurst will play cellar-dwellers Kyneton at Trickey’s Diesel Oval at Huntly.

MADDERN TRAILS KANGAROO Flat star forward Justin Maddern has 51 goals after nine rounds of the BFNL, but sits 21 goals behind country footy’s leading goalkicker. Maddern ranks 10th in the list of leading goal kickers, but well behind the Alberton League’s Luke James, who has 72 majors from 11 games of football this season. Natte Bealiba star Alexander Collins is in eighth position with 53 goals from his seven games in the Maryborough Castlemaine Football League.

OLIVER RETURNS THE Bendigo Bank Spirit has re-signed sharp-shooting guard Heather Oliver for the 2011/12 WNBL season. Playing her debut WNBL season in 2010/11, Oliver emerged late in the season as an impact player while helping the team to its best finish in franchise history. The 178cm guard had a break-out game in Round 16 against the Bulleen Boomers, scoring a teamhigh 16 points – including four 3-pointers – to snap the eventual Premier’s 17game win-streak. Overall, Oliver averaged 4.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, shooting nearly 43 per cent from the field and 33 per cent from distance. The lefty’s season was cut short when she suffered a fractured hand just two days prior to the Spirit’s Preliminary Final loss to the Canberra Capitals.

Spirit head coach Bernie Harrower said he was optimistic Oliver would continue to improve her skills and make an even bigger impact with the team this season.

SNOOKER GRANT A KEY lead-up event to next month’s Australian Snooker Goldfields Open snooker championships has been given a $10,000 grant to help attract more competitors. Sport and Recreation Minister Hugh Delahunty said the City of Melbourne Snooker Championship would receive the funding to help lure overseas competitors, with the hope that entrants will stay on for the inaugural Goldfields Open to be held in Bendigo next month. “The City of Melbourne Snooker Championship will be open to 96 entrants and our sponsorship will ensure the best placed Australian competitor at the Championship will be given a wild card entry to the Goldfields Open,’’ Mr Delahunty said. “Snooker has an established following in the United Kingdom, as well as growing interest in Asia, particularly in China. “These two exciting snooker events will help raise the profile of the sport here in Australia, while also attracting overseas and interstate competitors and visitors and showcasing the diversity of Victoria’s sporting events calendar,” Mr Delahunty said.

PROBERT SENSATION BENDIGO Braves guard Kevin Probert produced his best game of the season to guide the Braves to a sensational 104-79 victory over second-placed Knox Raiders last weekend. Probert was named SEABL Player of the Round for his efforts. A former U/19 Australian Emus representative, the popular Probert scored 24pts at 73 per cent, had four rebounds, six assists and two steals in his best game of the season so far. After a slow start and with the Braves only leading by one point after the first quarter, Probert produced 11 points in the second term to help the Braves establish a comfortable 16-point margin before the main break.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

The full moon brings to light whatever you need to know about relationships to siblings, roommates, schoolmates, and neighbors. It also may bring attention to your vehicle in some way. A weird noise becomes a breakdown, for example. Review habit patterns of thought and correct whatever serves you poorly.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19): Social and romantic life is favoured this week, particularly over the weekend. You may be mixing business and pleasure in a pleasant combination. This is a good time to discuss issues within a relationship because you are steady of mind and likely to be realistic, in relation to yourself as well as others. Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

There may be a crisis with your children or a lover this week. There are elements of obsessive thinking and criticism involved. Be intentional about keeping an open mind and don’t insist on a black and white answer. Ultimately this situation is about necessary change and growth for everyone involved.

1706

Cancer (June 21 - July 21): During this month you are dealing with the infrastructure of your life. Whatever areas are weak will squeak loudly and beg for repair. Projects that you noticed near the equinox will become more demanding. Fortunately the Sun and Mercury are in your sign and boost your strength and determination.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): Beware of the tendency to obsess over matters that may never happen. You are tempted to see the world through a dark lens this week and you may think that is the accurate version. It’s more likely that the pessimistic view is extreme. Set fears on the back burner for review at a later time when you feel better.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19): You occasionally confuse what you think with who you are. There are those who will disagree with you this week. Just don’t let it become a battle to the death. Remain aware that your identity is not at stake in this situation. Ideally, you will be open to considering new information that crosses your radar.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): Changes in your daily routine this week may be unsettling. You may feel a little off-balance. The materials that are normally available to help you accomplish everyday projects are missing, broken, or somehow out of reach. This is passing. Focus instead on the positive experiences with a lover or with your children.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22): Circumstances this week favor healing within a significant relationship. At this time both you and the Other can allow yourselves to be vulnerable enough to discuss and work through hard topics. Challenges concerning shared resources (time, energy, money) may be at core here.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): This is a favorable month for you in general and things are flowing freely. Resources are available as necessary for you to manage your projects. Circumstances with family members are showing promise and you are feeling more in sync with the world these days.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

The Lions experience a twist of annual fate. It is a time of retreat. This time is meant to help you recharge, refuel, and become more clearly in touch with your inner self. Allow extra time to meditate, reflect, journal, and read spiritually uplifting material.

This is a week in which you will tend to be thinking obsessively. It is an opportunity to learn how to better control your mind. Shift your attention to something less dramatic, such as whatever is happening this moment, rather than worrying over what might happen in the future.

This is a fine time to enjoy books and/or TV, meditate and journal. Give yourself time for self-exploration and even just “diddling around” and relaxing. Your dreams are meaningful and your intuition strong. You will enjoy a positive flow with almost everyone around you.

The road to success EPSOM teenage rally crew of Steven (18) and Brent (16) Mackenzie competed in the hotly contested the second round of the Victorian Rally Championship last weekend. The event was held in the forests around Eden, as part of the NSW and ACT Rally Championships. The high number of entries along with the interstate rivalry ensured the event was a winner. The week preceding the event was extremely wet in the area and organisers were forced to make last minute changes to the route. The roads used lived up to the expectations of competitors. Steven said they were in good condition but very slippery in spots and required concentration on all stages to be fast and smooth. The youngsters performed at a level expected of teams with much more experience and handled the very demanding conditions with great skill. They posted the 14th fastest time on one section. A creek crossing in one stage proved difficult for many, with a

number of cars misfiring and suffering problems after being partially submerged. There were no such problems for the Mackenzie boys, who were pleased with how well the Hyundai handled the trying conditions. In the final results the Mackenzie team finished first P2 car in the Victorian Championship, first Excel (with a margin of almost four minutes ahead of the next competitor), 12th outright in the Victorian Rally Championship and they also won the Victorian–NSW Excel Challenge. These results are outstanding considering the restrictions on the vehicle that require the Excels remain standard, the only difference being the drivers and co-drivers. The boys now lead the two classes and are on track to defending the titles Steven won last year (in his debut into rallying). They are also placed well in the 2wd amongst larger capacity vehicles. The next event in the series is the George Derrick Memorial Rally, to be raced in the Avoca area on July 16.

Thunder in third spot

By SCOTT PENDLEBURY

JUNIOR footy was always a big part of my life growing up and some of the coaches I had as a young kid have played a significant part in making me into the person I am today. Growing up in Sale in South-East Victoria, I played for College Football Club in the Victorian Country Football League. During my time there I had my dad as coach. One of my favourite

memories of junior footy was when my dad was coaching my brother and me, and we won the under 12s grand final. Winning the grand final back then felt as fantastic as it did with the Magpies in 2010. The experience was one I’ll always remember as one of the happiest times of my life. The best part of it was that we had fun, something that my dad always made sure of throughout my four years with College. Basketball was and still is another great passion of mine. My basketball coach, David Mowbray was an-

Like my dad, he made training fun and always pushed my teammates and me to improve and to keep striving towards being a better athlete. To me, a great coach has to be a good teacher, communicator and a motivator and David was just that. As a leader myself now at the Collingwood Football Club, I often think back to advice my dad and David used to give me and how they worked so hard to inspire and encourage me. One thing that has stuck with me was to always aim to do the basics well and the rest will follow. It was advice like this, given to me by my coaches growing up, that has helped

me become the person and player I am today. Over the next few weeks, Westpac and Collingwood Football Club will be on the lookout for school footy coaches who have worked hard to inspire young players to do their best. Victorian school kids can nominate their coach in the Calling Out a Coach competition and explain how their coach or teacher has inspired them. Winning coaches will be given the opportunity to be taken through a coaching session with some of my coaches from Collingwood. I would encourage every kid out there, or parents who have seen a coach or teacher make a positive impact on their child’s life, to nominate that person at vsfl.com.au.

THE Bendigo Thunder is in third position on the Victorian Women’s Football League ladder after nine rounds of the season. This weekend, the Thunder is back at home after a two week break, and takes on Melton Centrals at Dower Park. The Bendigo women have an even win/loss ratio and with the points from one forfeit, occupy third place ahead of La Trobe on percentage points. Despite thumping Melton in the second round by 54 points, the Bendigo Thunder do not have any preconceived ideas that this will be an easy match. They expect to encounter a vastly improved team on Sunday. The Melton Centrals have a recent win over La Trobe to indicate that they have certainly lifted since the start of the season. Coach Russell Jeffrey said maintaining momentum in between the season breaks has been a challenge for the Thunder this season. “With such a new team it is imperative that the girls get as much game time as possible and with so many breaks in the season, this is really quite difficult,” he said. “We have tried to alleviate this as much as possible, by having practice matches, but nothing compares to a real game.” Jeffrey said this week’s game was crucial for the Thunder, not only for the points but for a mental edge heading into the remainder of the season. The side is yet to win a game at home, and is keen to get the monkey off its back and set themselves up over the next couple of weeks, to get a decent run into the finals. “We are looking good heading into this game, we have most of our players back, with only Bree Martin and Rhiannon Jenkins out through injuries, and have had a few really tough training sessions,” he said. ‘’We just need to make sure we stick to our game plan and come out strong from the start, we can’t leave anything to chance.” After this weekend’s clash, the Thunder has the bye in round 10 and returns home on Sunday, July 3 to take on Braybrook, 2pm at Dower Park.

Rat and roll

HUNGRY FOR VICTORY: The Chiko Rollers hope to even the score against Ballarat’s Rat Pack.

Our Rollers line up against the Rat Pack

BY BEN CAMERON

IT will be a true “derby derby” this weekend in front of hundreds of screaming fans. The Bendigo Dragon City Derby Dolls will face traditional rivals, Ballarat’s “Rat Pack”, for the “Winter Plunderland” on Saturday in Wendouree. The Chiko Rollers have shaken off the disappointment of a 130102 loss to Ballarat in March in Daylesford and have been training hard to avenge the loss. “It was disappointing we lost but it was our first competitive bout so we were excited we made triple digits,” Roller spokesperson Emma McSparron said. She hoped local fans would travel to Ballarat to cheer on the girls, who have added three new faces to the squad. “We’re got a few girls making their debut bout,” Emma said of Summer Loe, Karen McKenzie and Zoe Dyson. As the Ballarat league is a coed league, a co-ed demonstration game will follow the main bout. The Rollers have added a couple of males to the team recently, acting as much-needed referees. “It’s great because we’ve need-

ed male referees and shows it’s not just about the females,” Emma said. “There is a possibility of the local league going co-ed in the future.” The Rollers were founded in

2008 by local girls Kelli Molloy, Prue Allen and Taiche McMahon, although the term Roller Derby dates back to the 1920s. The quad skate sport is a full contact but eye-catching competition, with many skaters compet-

ing in elaborate “boutfits” and makeup. Each player also gives themselves a “derby name”. “It’s an opportunity to invent an alter ego of sorts and be a totally different person on the track,” Emma or “Damage Patch

Doll” said. “It’s a great spectator sport, with lots of clashes, thrills and spills.” The Rollers will play a home game on August 27 at a venue yet to be confirmed.
