NEW FOCUS BendigoAhead

Bendigo’s gold identity a ‘myth’

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THE image of a city made grand and prosperous by the goldrushes has been outed as a myth by a Bendigo historian. “There’s a tendency to romanticise Bendigo,” La Trobe University academic Dr Charles Fahey said this week.

Dr Fahey said Bendigo’s identity had more to do with the history of the Trades Hall than the Town Hall. “It has always been a working man’s city,” he said. “You go through town, and there are statues of men like George Lansell, but we forget the families who dug out the wretched gold that made

him rich, or who brought up the children who worked for him. “You have the image of all those grand buildings, but the majority of people were employed in workingclass occupations.” Dr Fahey is completing a history of Bendigo up until the First World War, when the bottom fell out of the gold-

mining industry. In that book, he will describe Bendigo as a “city divided” by the goldmining industry, which was very expensive to run and led to a string of labour disputes. “People took the profits in the good times, and had nothing left to work with in the bad times,” Dr Fahey said.

“That leads to a great deal of unemployment and underemployment: that’s my thesis in a nutshell.” As the city prepares for the changes which will be forced on it by unprecedented population growth, the historian said it was important to correct the impression created by the romantic and skewed version of Bendigo’s history.

Trades Hall a true symbol From Page 1 “When we think about Bendigo now, we think about the Cathedral, and it has the reputation as a Catholic city – but it wasn’t,” Dr Fahey said. “It was a non-conformist city. In 1910, for example, Bendigo was the only city in Australia that had a daily newspaper that advocated a vote for the Labor Party, so there is this other tradition that has not been written so much about. “It’s not the Cathedral or the iconic buildings like the Post Office – one of the great symbols of Bendigo is the Trades Hall.” Among the forgotten people of Bendigo’s history are the Cornish, who settled in areas such as Long Gully and St Just Point and gave those areas a “very distinctive architecture and culture”. Dr Fahey said that, until recently, conservation records had “ignored the major vernacular” of Bendigo architecture, only in

ENTERTAINED

This week on the web... CITY of Greater Bendigo CEO Craig Niemann has confirmed the City received a fine of almost $6000 for pumping stormwater from the Eaglehawk Landfill during a significant storm event in August 2010. Mr Niemann said the storm had swamped the landfill in August and holding dams located on site at the landfill were inundated with water. He said more water was building up on site than could be stored in the existing dams, so a decision was made to pump some of the stormwater off the site to prevent the dams from overtopping.

Weekend forecast

WHEN you are born in Eaglehawk, you don’t ever really leave the place. “It was a true community,” proprietor of a picture framing business in View Street Geoff Sayer says. “There was lots of freedom but lots of care too. Everyone looked out for the kids.” Mr Sayers still lives in Eaglehawk and he still runs his business in one of the loveliest streets in Bendigo, the wellnamed View Street that heads out of the city at Pall Mall, past the Bendigo Art Gallery and then the Queen Elizabeth Oval, and over the hill into the suburbs. Several times in his life – for education, for work, for a different kind of life – Mr Sayer left both Eaglehawk and View Street, but each time he has been drawn back. He has run businesses in the precinct on and off for 40 years. He remembers the heyday of View Street, when it had the Princess theatre, a you-beaut lolly shop, plenty of activity

www.bendigoweekly. com.au

STAYER: Geoff Sayer. and the art gallery to boot. He also remembers how, following the development of the Marketplace precinct at the other end of town around the railway station, View Street went into the doldrums. “I’ve always been fond of View Street, and in the early years, it was easy to make a living here,” he says. “In recent years, View Street has had to claw its way back. “It’s a work in progress, and is starting to get back its identity but there’s more to do.” Changes to the way traffic

moves down View Street in the past few years, including controversial closures in parallel Forest Street, have put pressure on trade in the precinct. On the other side of the ledger, the vigorous program of exhibitions at the Bendigo Art Gallery and a busy schedule at the La Trobe University Visual Arts Gallery have firmed the street’s identity as a tourist and leisure destination. Mr Sayer, who has watched it morph through periods of activity, to times when it was deserted, said what creates an interesting city are urban streets with atmosphere and diversity. “The mix here is interesting, because there are strong arts things happening,” he said. “That side is important, but you also need the bits and pieces happening outside the main events. “There is not just yet sufficient energy to get Bendigo going. “We need to gain self-confidence, so we can all do a little better, and push things a little harder.”

POLICE are still searching for a 43-year-old man who has been missing near Pyramid Hill since around 10am, on Thursday June 9. Police have been told that North Fitzroy man, Keith Jones, travelled to Mologa to stay with family. He was spoken to by his father around 8am but has not been seen since. Investigators believe that he has left the property own his own accord but do not know where he went. Keith, who is known as Richard, is believed to have left the property in jeans and a t-shirt and on foot. The area where he went missing backs onto the Terrick National Park. Investigators have been searching for Richard since June 9 and have been monitoring bank accounts and phone records. A FORMER Bendigo school teacher spent two nights lost in the freezing cold in the Otways before turning up safe and well. Glenn Bradley taught at Catholic College Bendigo before moving to Tasmania and then Geelong to teach. He went missing on Sunday afternoon, but returned to his vehicle early Tuesday morning. Mr Bradley is presently employed as a teacher at Geelong’s Covenant College, a Christian college catering for students from three-year-old kinder through to VCE. AND in b.entertained, one of ABC Radio’s most popular broadcasters has announced his retirement. After 24 years, Derek Guille, radio legend and presenter of the Evening program on 774 ABC Melbourne and ABC Local Radio Victoria this week announced his departure from the ABC. For more than two decades, the former Bendigo radio presenter has been a constant and important part of the lives of the Victorian community, a loyal and longstanding audience. He started life at the ABC in Horsham, back in 1987, before coming to Bendigo and them moving to Melbourne in 1999 to present the afternoon program.

DEPUTY Premier Peter Ryan reaffirmed his government’s commitment to keeping Eaglehawk Primary School open during a visit to the school yesterday. As expected, Mr Ryan reiterated the government’s election promise to keep the school open, as revealed by the Bendigo Weekly in November. Mr Ryan said he wanted to send a clear message to the community the school would stay open. “I am delighted to announce today that the $2 million allocated for Eaglehawk Primary School in the May Budget will support the community’s recommendations on infrastructure upgrades,� he said. “The funding will include new toilets, upgraded information communication technology, improved heating and cooling and improved disabled access in the first instance, with additional improvements to be determined once initial work has been completed.� Mr Ryan joined Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum in releasing the recommendations of the community consultation into the future of the school. “The consultation report includes input from the school, the

Principal tackles Ryan on plan By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

DISAPPOINTED but still determined, Golden Square Primary School principal Barry Goode collared Deputy Premier Peter Ryan in Bendigo yesterday, to put forward the case for his school’s master plan. Mr Ryan, who was visiting the virtual learning centre at Bendigo Senior Secondary College, was stopped at the door by Mr Goode and the president of his school council, Jeff Westbrook.

“Our process needs to keep rolling,� Mr Goode said. “We are stalled on the master plan because we didn’t get funding in the state budget, so while we’re determined to do it, we don’t yet know how.� Golden Square is now a school on two sites, following the merger of the Maple Street and Laurel Street campuses, initiated by the former Labor government. They were hoping for a $500,000 grant in

this year’s state budget towards the next stage of planning for their new school at the Maple Street site. “The merger for us has been a very positive experience,� Mr Goode said. “But we desperately need to be on one campus to consolidate our resources. “We’re not red-ragging – we’re following a process.� Mr Ryan, who was born in Bendigo, spent several minutes listening

to Mr Goode’s case for Golden Square Primary. “We are very aware this is critical,� he said. Mr Goode said the failure to secure funding in this year’s budget had disappointed the school community. “Now we just need to get the message through,� he said. “It’s business as usual, and we are still moving ahead, but for the kids of Golden Square we need the resources so we can go from strength to strength.�

IF Narissa and Laurie Leung’s wedding dress photos were to win the Bendigo Weekly Second Honeymoon competition, they may be better prepared this time round. Engaged in 2003, Narissa made one visit to the bridal shop and told the owner Dot, “I just want something simple, nothing fussy”. She picked a dress from a rack, tried it on and decided, “It fits and it looks fine, I’ll take it”. Dot suggested adding a little bling in the form of beading to the bodice. With no wedding date set, Dot agreed to keep the dress until it was needed. Neither realised then it would be four years later. Narissa or Laurie were organising a trip to China with a stopover in Hong Kong to visit Laurie’s family – so they decided to elope. “I didn’t know if my dress would still be at the shop after four years, but Dot assured me it was, so within two weeks the wedding was planned,” Narissa said. They arrived in Hong Kong from China two days before the big day. The night before, at the Ladies’ Market, they found dresses, shoes, hair clips and sundry Asian-inspired finery for the flowergirls. Narissa allowed herself just two hours to find an English-speaking hairdresser – and succeeded. Her sister-in-law chose

After photos in the photo room with its special backdrops of the Egyptian pyramids, Swiss alps, English country scene complete with a plastic horse and the pig carriage (2007 was the year of the Pig), Narissa and Laurie escaped outdoors for the photo they have submitted for our competition.

THE Golden Dragon Museum has unveiled images of its $15 million expansion plans. The three-storey building will be built over the carpark between the current museum and Park Road. The development will feature a restaurant and smaller exhibition space on the ground floor and a larger exhibition space and research offices on level one. The centrepiece of the first two levels will be a void between them and an internal garden to house some of the exhibits. The top floor will feature tea rooms and a small exhibition area. The top level will be above the Rosalind Park tearooms, allowing an uninterrupted view of the park and CBD. The new design ends the push for a nine-storey traditional pagoda to be built on the site. That project was to feature many exhibition levels, as well as a restaurant at the top. Museum general manager Anita Jack said planning requirements meant such a project would see the organisation divert its focus from its core business.

court whilst the curved wall along Gaol Road, deflects the negative energy from the jail. “The new museum extension pays respect to the historical Chinese site in Bridge Street. Wrapping itself around the pre-existing Golden Dragon Museum, it creates the Sun Loong Gallery as the centrepiece. “With the dragon domain being located in the centre, this creates balance in feng shui.� Depicted on the outside of the building is the Chinese Wheel of Life, which provides the building with the clear distinction that the building has a Chinese focus.

ONE of the leading campaigners for a new multistorey carpark in the CBD has come out against it, urging a large extension of Bendigo’s tramways instead. Before City of Greater Bendigo Epsom Ward councillor Lisa Ruffell was elected, the Hargreaves Mall trader pushed hard for a multi-storey car park. Cr Ruffell this week said the current $15 million car park plan, the centrepiece of the 2011-12 council budget, was not what was needed and was in the wrong spot. “Things have changed. We don’t need a 420-place car park,� she said. “How many of those spaces will be for the com-

munity? Not a lot, they will mostly be for DHS, the State Trustees and Bendigo Bank. “Why are we looking to spend so much money on something that will benefit so few?� Cr Ruffell said council

should be looking at. Let’s build public transport infrastructure. “We keep on saying we are a tourist destination but we don’t look at infrastructure for public transport.� Cr Ruffell joined Ea-

“We need to get the trams back� needed to build smaller car parks, and focus on public transport. “We need to get the trams back,� she said. “Not just where they are now, but to Eaglehawk, Kangaroo Flat, to the mall and up View Street. “This is what we

glehawk Ward councillor Peter Cox in his opposition to the car park, and to the big-ticket projects in the budget. “We need to look at smaller projects that are more bread and butter,� she said. “The community is requesting us to look af-

ter the everyday things such as maintenance of trees and nature strips, or maintenance of small parks and footpaths. “Why aren’t we doing this? Why aren’t we listening to the community?� Cr Ruffell said the library redevelopment should be delayed so projects such as the Bendigo Botanical Gardens rejuvenation, which had been in planning stages for years, could go ahead. “The gardens only received $450,000 in the coming budget,� she said. “We should be looking at moving the White Hills pool so we can get started.� The council will hold a Special Meeting on Monday night to vote to award the car park tender.

BENDIGO TAFE students have paint on their hands. Starting with a good idea and some creative vision, the students have revamped an abandoned Eaglehawk shop front and turned it into a buzzing youth space. Two Doors Cafe opened last week at 24 High Street, with Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning students designing the interior, sewing bean bags, creating wall stencils and up-cycled chairs and stools. VCAL teacher Melissa Voderberg said the project was a great practical opportunity for the “VCAL students often struggle with learning in the traditional textbook formula,” she said. ‘This project has allowed us to teach numeracy and literacy through hands-on learning. “They have learned without realising they are learning, just because they have had so much fun with the project.”

Shaun – Shaun Makepeace filling in for Ben Jones today. Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford is in the building. Anthony, I had to mention the front page of last week’s Bendigo Weekly, 3BRover and the Gimme 5 For Kids appeal. Anthony – Fantastic story that one. We ended up working with kids and animals, but the appeal is a great idea and one worth supporting. Shaun – It was good fun having 3BRover at Violet Street Primary School. The kids were all dressed up and helped raise money for Bendigo hospital’s Special Care Baby Unit. Let’s jump into some issues. The former Powneys Newsagency is in the news again Anthony – Yes, we broke this one at www. bendigoweekly.com.au yesterday. We spoke to the owner of the building who told us negotiations had been continuing for a while and that an announcement was imminent on the re-opening of the store. Mr Norris said he had a lot of interest from national chains, which is great, but we believe it will be another newsagency opening up there. Mr Norris is keen to keep diversity in the mall and believes the community wants such a business to remain there. Shaun – We were talking about that this morning on the Breakfast Show, and we were getting a lot of feedback about possible putting a police kiosk in the building, to help with the anti-social behaviour issues. Anthony – Interesting concept. There is evidence to suggest a police kiosk in the mall may stop issues there, but will take police from other duties in the rest of the city. I would argue more video cameras are needed down there. Shaun – Also, the Golden Dragon Museum. Things going well there as well? Anthony – We had photos up on our website of the plans for the extension of the museum. They look fantastic and if the $15 million project gets up it will be one of our city’s most attractive and important buildings. Let’s hope this project gets the support it deserves.

Preserve our pathology I WISH to comment in favour of the retention of the Bendigo hospital pathology department. Having a family member who has been a patient of the oncology department for the past seven years, we fully appreciate the vital importance this pathology department has on health outcomes. We are dismayed that a decision to potentially compromise patient health is being considered as a cost-cutting measure. A public pathology department, which excels in the service decisions they provide and which is vital to all of the patients concerned should not be treated simply as a business. Privatisation has left a litany of failure and destruction in its wake across areas of public services. After the abject failure of the privatisation of the pathology department at Peter McCallum Cancer Hospital in Melbourne, it was reinstated. What more proof do you need that this type of action is ludicrous? The following are legitimate questions, which I believe need to be answered by management. Why is there going to be a state of the art hospital and cancer facility built without an appropriate pathology department? Why is there an independent steering committee, with an employee of a private pathology firm as a member? The patients of the Bendigo Hospital deserve better. During the recent election campaign, we were told that the new stateof-the-art hospital would have to cope with an estimated 355,000 people in the Loddon Mallee region into the future. That being so, why is the pathology department being subjected to possible privatisation, or reduction. I urge the board of management to restore their support to the dedicated staff of the pathol-

ogy department, who like many others at this hospital, go beyond the call of duty in their everyday working lives, and should not be left to pick up the pieces, long after the decision makers have left. Ken Price, Eaglehawk

The artful truth THE airing of View Street Arts Precinct information in the BendigoWeekly’s article For Art’s Sake (August 13), and Terry Davidson’s, Neil Clarke’s and Anne Young’s responses put little known detail into the deliberations. That’s the sign of a healthy debate. Terry is correct, all major council projects need fair scrutiny. Neil provoked with imaginative ideas. Anne’s passion was commendable, but not her analysis. Anne’s letter, ‘No vision to seeing the arts’, expressed disappointment about past Art Gallery and Capital Theatre decisions and a belief that those who question the proposal to spend up to $50 million of

public money on the precinct lack vision. Anne talked of “we”, as if the Arts community was separate from all other residents. Anne claimed the Capital “is in use almost every day of the week.” Rubbery! A check of the Capital website shows performances on only 30 days through September to the New Year. Financial matters are of concern, and Anne is rash to presume those who raise genuine issues are not supporters of the arts. Arts need to be more engaged in broader council budget issues. Where should council spend residents’ hardearned money and where will it return the greatest benefits? We all have a case. It is a matter of priorities. As part of the public debate all major projects that seek the use of residents’ money need comprehensive analysis. Only then can residents make informed decisions. Ted Coleman, Strathfieldsaye

Business as usual? DAVID Arscott asks (Bendigo Weekly, June 17) “why should Australians be subjected to the most aggressive carbon pricing scheme in the world?” As Mr Arscott clearly rejects the reality of dramatically accelerating global warming via increased CO2 emissions which are the direct result of human activity in the form of the carbon-intensive industry and energy production that we, in the industrialised first-world have all benefited from and become reliant upon, this will be a difficult question to answer to his satisfaction. I suspect his question is meant to be rhetorical, but for the gratification of more reasonable readers, I’ll have a go at an answer. If big-polluting companies do not pay their fair share under a price on carbon, the total burden will fall onto Australian households, in terms of sky-rocketing prices for continued energy and food production using nonrenewable, finite resources and unsustainable process-

ing practices. There will be no money to support the renewable energy economy so vital to the preservation of sustainable life on this unique planet of ours. As Mr Arscott so perfectly illustrates in his musings upon recent EU policy, under the current status quo, economic and business interests lie in maximising profit margins, not in environmental sustainability. In a short-sighted, amoral universe, it makes perfect business sense to deny climate change. If we can all manage that, we can continue to live and prosper comfortably and non-sustainably in the here-and-now, because the state of our planet into the next half of this century and beyond will not be our problem. The big polluters can continue to profit from the destruction of our unique planet, and we can all keep our current jobs, rather than invest in developing new skills in renewable technology, under this business-as-usual model.

A shift in focus HISTORY, as the saying goes, is written by the victors. This statement aims to point out history is not just the facts, but someone’s interpretation of them. But in Bendigo, we thought we had it licked. We were proud of our Goldrush history, the wealth it brought and the city it created. Because of that, we based our story, and our identity, on it. However, there is more to our history than that, and La Trobe Bendigo academic Charles Fahey thinks we should begin shifting our focus. even today, Bendigo’s identity is split. It is a work in progress. Growth, like in the last half of the 1800s, is bringing with it a complicated dichotomy. We have, as we did in the Goldrush, big companies, big business and a sophisticated set that sees the benefit in spending money on big ideas, big projects and the big picture. In the Goldrush we had the families, who either owned land, mines or were big in retail and manufacturing.

Editorial Comment The names, and in some cases influence, of these families are still prominent today. However, there is a social conservatism in Bendigo that is not born from these people, but from the workers who built and worked in the mines, shops and factories. They lived in miner’s cottages in neighbourhoods that today are still associated with blue collars – eaglehawk, north Bendigo, Golden Square and Kangaroo Flat. Their ideas weren’t big, but their plans were simple – create a better place to live. Dr Fahey may be right, they could

be the people history forgot, but their influence is everywhere. not just on the things they built, but on the society they created. They created a close-knit community to be proud of. They relied on each other to survive and created the Bendigo we know today. And here is the point. Bendigo’s identity has been ‘created’ by the victors and the marketers – a beautiful city with grand buildings, grand churches and grand cultural facilities. This is right and should continue. However, what is missing is the acknowledgement of our full identity. We need to recognise our working-class, left-leaning roots, then celebrate them. Only once we have done that can we begin to market Bendigo not just as a place of stunning wineries, great art and leafy suburbs, but a place of real community, a proud close-knit history and a social culture envious to all.

This was reality television in the raw. It was compelling, provoking and challenging. Challenging enough to make me re-think some of my mostly conservative views about a few things, and honest and challenging enough to even make me change my mind about one issue in particular. Gay marriage. I am proud to have been raised in a strong Catholic household and to have had the upbringing and nurturing of

that if Jesus walked among us today, he would support the right of gay couples to be married. A quick check online on the controversial topic of gay marriage and the Bible brings up an equal number of references in support of and against gay marriage. That’s one of the great things about Google, but more importantly, about faith and democracy as well. Our modern society long ago ceased to infer and enforce

the narrow literal interpretations of the Bible upon itself – we no longer expect women to obey their husbands, slaves are no longer expected to obey their masters and women are no longer expected to cover their heads in church. We’ve moved on. And so I’m proud to admit I have changed my mind over the course of this week on an issue that admittedly matters a lot more to some others than it does me. But at least now I can say I support gay marriage, and, that up until now, I was wrong.

Marriage should be about a union in love between two people beliefs that influence my life. Included in that suite of beliefs was that gay marriage is against the teachings of the Catholic Church... marriage is a union in love between a man and a woman. But since watching Q&A I have unpacked that belief – and I have changed my mind. Marriage should be about a union in love between two people and for that reason alone it’s time we moved on, and afforded same-sex couples the right to become legally married. Thinking about it, I believe

Time to act on gay marriage One of the really annoying things about modern life is the steadfast refusal of some people to allow others to change their point of view on an issue. And yet surely we owe it to ourselves to question things when we are not sure, and to make informed decisions. If a politician changes their mind because they now know better about something, it doesn’t seem to matter. What seems to matter more is that they have apparently backflipped, backed down or bailed out, at least according to some. Sometimes it takes guts to admit you were wrong. It takes honesty and courage, and a degree of integrity to have a change of heart for the right reasons. These are the same qualities we expect our leaders to have, yet we seek to tear them down for baring their soul when it matters most. Only occasionally I watch a program on the ABC called Q&A, and usually only when I get possession of the remote. The program featured a panel of Gen-Y personalities, and the clarity of their shared conversation with host Tony Jones made for that increasingly rare commodity these days – enthralling television.

Souper time MINESTRONE, Bendigo Weekly’s foodfossicker Vicki Harrington discovers, is Italian for big soup, which is most apt for this hearty vegetable soup with its addition of pasta or rice. Online at food fossickers this week, you will find Vicki’s recipe for a minestrone served with pesto. “You can use bought pesto, but I prefer to make my own,” Vicki says. Here’s how: Put two cups of fresh basil leaves, ¼ cup toasted pine nuts, three peeled cloves garlic, 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan in the food processor and process until finely chopped. With the motor still running add the olive oil in a steady stream until a smooth paste forms. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper. You can make your pesto with a mortar and pestle rather than the processor if preferred. Place pesto in an airtight jar, cover with a thin layer of oil and it will keep in the fridge for several weeks.

As Michael Thornton drew close to the day when his book was to be published, he was astounded that his was the first.

Penny School Gallery and Cafe in Church Street Maldon celebrating all things French, with threecourses and musical show: $70, bookings 5475 1911.

“I kept wondering if someone would beat me to the mark,” Thornton said before the launch of Jackaroo last evening in Melbourne. “I said to my publishers, I can’t believe no one else has written about this. Either they haven’t felt their story is good enough, or they think they can’t write.” Thornton himself is beset with doubts about his own worth and ability to tell the story about surviving the tough, sometimes brutish, experience of being sent as a 17-year-old to a sheep and cattle station.

Food Fossickers is your firststop for all things delicious and healthy in Bendigo and its region.

Brought up by parents who refused to encourage him, even to this day Thornton can feel within his very soul that plunge of self-esteem that besets sensitive people.

Members include Eaglehawk Gold Smokehouse, GPO restaurant, Shelmerdine Vineyards and Bendigo Wholefoods.

Even though he is now the director of advancement at the Melbourne Business School, and even though he has written about and is sought-after as an expert on philanthropic fundraising, Thornton can fall back into the old habit of doubt and uncertainty.

“Do you think it’s self-indulgent claptrap?”, is more or less how he started the conversation about Jackaroo, and then he laughs. “I do still remember as a boy being

told, let a real boy do it,” he says. “Being put down doesn’t ever wear off, it stays with you. “And our education also knocks creativity out of you; so one of the reasons I wrote the book is to tell young people, don’t let it defeat you, follow your dreams.” Jackaroo begins in 1970, when Thornton arrives to take up a job at Nareen, four years after he first took up a place at the infamous Habbies Howe station, under the revered and ruthless Dick Webb. The book also ends at Nareen: Thornton had graduated in the school of self-respect, by working well and with thanks at the property of the future Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser.

TOUGH TIMES: Michael Thornton. death of their son, from diabetes, coping each day with grief. “Memoir is the most special kind of book,” Michael says.

He had been offered more money to work elsewhere, but he knew his time at Nareen would give him not only the contacts and experience, but the confidence he so needed.

Cash is their aim

JOB WITH DRIVE: Stephen Iser with long time employee Barry Charity. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Home at Hume for Mr Charity By BEN CAMERON THEY say charity begins at home, but for Bendigo’s Barry Charity, home and work have been almost one and the same for so long it’s hard to know where he started. Back in 1971, the year Bangladesh and Greenpeace were founded, and cigarette advertisements were banned from TV screens, the then 15-yearold began work at what is now Hume and Iser Home Hardware.

“It’s been a great place to work. Maybe I just don’t like change that much,” Mr Charity laughed. He clocks up 40 years work on June 28. Mr Charity has worked in both the timber yard and hardware department, and driven the company’s prime mover for the past decade. “He’s been a very loyal employee and a good friend,” managing director Stephen Iser, who began work, just a few months after Mr Charity, said.

FUNDRAISER: Keely McMahon of St Francis of the Fields Primary School with Friends of Cystic Fibrosis Bendigo. WANT to score yourself a bargain and help people with cystic fibrosis? Then come along to a fundraiser run by new group Friends of Cystic Fibrosis Bendigo at St Francis Primary School Hall in Strathfieldsaye on Saturday

night. All the donations are in – from drinks, food to entertainment –and it looks like a biggie, with 300 expected to turn up. But there’s always room for more. A series of auctions will be run on the night. There

is a $4000 hot water system, TVs and a team-signed St Kilda footy jumper up for bids. All money raised will go directly to CF research. Group member Gabrielle Walsh said the idea for the night began among a few friends.

“It started with a group of friends wanting to do something for our friend who has a son with cystic fibrosis,” she said. Tickets are $50, so contact Gabrielle on 0423 026 966 or Tracey on 0439 673 202 for more information.

Pavilion offers a place to meet

Preschool shortfall confirmed 3From Page 5

Collaboration: Cindy McGregor of the long Gully neighbourhood Centre with Ebony Hanson in the new facility.

LONG Gully’s latest community facility was opened this week. Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum and City of Greater Bendigo mayor Rod Fyffe opened the Long Gully Community Pavilion and Menshed on Tuesday. Cr Fyffe said the project was a collaboration between the council and the State Government. “This has been an important project for the Long Gully community which has resulted in two fantastic new facilities for people of all ages to participate in community based activities,” he said. The new brick and colorbond-clad community pavilion features a large meeting space, high quality kitchen and kiosk facilities, male and female change room/toilet and shower facilities, accessible toilet, storage

Members Jackpot $250 this Friday June 24, 2011

Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said the reforms would inevitably go ahead because all states had agreed to the changes. She said discussions with preschools had led her to believe many programs for three-year-olds, providing about three hours of class time a week, would be cut to make time for four-year-old classes. “It is going to come in and Victoria needs funding. That is the bottom line really,” Ms Edwards said. Parent volunteers at the Helm Street Preschool have already warned of a massive shortage of places for four-year-olds in Kangaroo Flat by 2013 when hours are officially increased to 15 per week, unless new infrastructure is built. Golden Square Preschool teacher Carol O’Bree echoed their urgency, saying it was “totally unrealistic” that Bendigo preschools could be ready for the changes within 18 months. Each child attending more hours will mean fewer places at most of Bendigo’s preschools. “The other issue is finding more staff,” Ms O’Bree said, adding it was becoming harder to find a short-term replacement if a teacher became sick. Golden Square Preschool teaches 105 children in the four-year-old program. Well-advanced plans to double its capacity have been hampered due to lack of funding. Ms Edwards said the solution was significant investment in infrastructure. “Kindergartens are already struggling to make ends meet and are fundraising significantly already. Why should they have to rearrange all of their programs and all of their timetables to accommodate all this?” she said. “It shouldn’t be their responsibility to meet the needs of all children. It should be up to the State Government through funding to meet the needs of children.”

THE VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT WOULD LIKE TO

THANK YOU Since September last year Victoria has experienced a number of serious floods affecting many thousands of people. Homes, properties, livelihoods and whole townships have been damaged and the effects have been heartbreaking.

ALOHA: Macklan Wellard with Elsie Wicox and Lilah Smith.

Easing the burden for many of these Victorians has been the task of our professional and volunteer emergency services. They’ve worked long and hard under difficult conditions, many affected themselves by the floods.

They have also been assisted by members of the community, acting on their own initiative, to lend a hand. To those who filled a sandbag, housed a friend, provided for stranded livestock, donated funds, provided shelter or a hot drink, and the many other acts of support and kindness – thank you. Your efforts, resourcefulness and community spirit defines what it means to be Victorian.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, June 24, 2011

SHORT: La Trobe director Andrew Skewes speaks at the announcement.

Uni has drive for IT cadets LA TROBE University Bendigo and influential local businesses are calling on employers to step up to the plate and stop what they see as a crippling shortage of IT graduates. The group is spearheading a new cadetship program that makes workplace learning central to IT courses, creating industry-integrated IT degrees. Bendigo Bank managing director Mike Hirst said such programs were the key to sustaining a successful community. “Attracting and keeping

skilled workers in regional areas can be very difficult, but long-term employment is a vital part to building a successful local economy,� he said. “The cadetship will ensure we can keep skilled professions, such as IT, in Bendigo, while allowing young people to develop a meaningful career path.� All eligible applicants for La Trobe Bendigo’s Bachelor of Information Technology and Bachelor of Information Technology (Professional) can apply for an industry partner cadetship.

STOP PRESS: The old Powney’s site is expected to be another newsagency.

Making the news ANOTHER newsagency is expected to open in place of Powney’s in the city’s CBD. The high-profile Hargreaves Mall site has been dormant since early April, when the newsagency closed down. Talk among CBD traders is the store will remain a newsagent, although building owner Hugh Norris did not want to confirm the type of business that would

be operating from the Hargreaves Mall premises. “I can’t make any categorical announcement

coming days that will be a fantastic result for all.� Mr Norris said he was keen to get the type of business that was

We will be happy to make a positive announcement at this stage,� he said. “We will be happy to make a positive announcement within the

right for the mall, and one that shoppers wanted. “We have had a num-

ber of commercial tenants who have wanted the site,� he said. “We could have a national tenant there tomorrow. “We are looking for a positive solution and we have tried to do the right thing for the mall. “We are looking for a positive solution.� The Bendigo Weekly believes the new business will be a newsagency.

Word on the street not sweet My daily drive to Bendigo is far from a peaceful pursuit

I WAS very rude this week. Those who know me would say I’m not often one who swears. In a car behind the wheel, things change. Perfectly nice people are given all sorts of new titles as I struggle to find my way through Bendigo in winter. I’m not the best navigator, so tend to chop and change, get lost and inwardly complain when I get caught in the wrong place. When someone over hesitates at a junction off I go, ranting and raving to Fiona on ABC radio. She can’t hear me of course, probably a good thing. Betcha anyone looking at me scooting around town would think I was having a row on the phone. I don’t pass this anger into my style of driving, it’s a purely private display of frustration. Totally unfounded in most cases. While we are sharing, sorry, while I am sharing, I have another tale to tell. I shout at talkback radio callers who annoy me. “I don’t care” I yell as a caller from Kangaroo Flat bangs on about something only they care about. “What possible interest is that?” I add, as they tell the improbable tale of their complaint or problem.

Maybe it’s time to get the Weekly to employ a chauffeur

STEVE KENDALL ON LIFE

Sometimes I switch channels only to shouted at by commercials... I shout back, saying I don’t want what they are selling. Then it’s back to talkback and another caller drives me to despair. I’m in a courtesy car at the moment as my trusty own vehicle is being fixed. So my stash of CDs is in the glove box at Symes. No rescue there in music, as I find very little to shout at about music.

I think the car is really my own space. Once I borrowed a GPS to find my way around. Actually I borrowed it to work out the actual speed I was travelling on the Calder. My speedometer was a little out, so I know how to push the boundary, and how far. Anyway, the GPS spoke to me, telling me where to go. It was sort of like an automated long-suffering Mrs Kendall. But at least it had a volume control. There was this brash bloke telling me to turn left in 100 metres, he knew exactly where to go. I had used one before in Ger-

many, but that one was really bossy. “You MUST turn round NOW.” Anyway, the Bendigo GPS was annoying me so I started to experiment. I found the setting Australian Female, Sam. That sounds more like it, I imagined smooth tones of assistance from my helpful GPS girl in the box. It all started out fine, each warning of distance was precise and calm. As we got to know each other a bit more, things changed. The directions were firmer, reminding me of my German GPS.

GPS Sam was snappy and unkind, telling me to slow down, and giving me directions that were hesitant, and the sound seemed to be coming from the back seat. That’s a joke by the way. Don’t send me off to a darkened room just yet. I did get rid of the GPS though, I would rather be lost than bossed around all day. Perhaps this driving lark is getting to me though, maybe it’s time to get the Weekly to employ a chauffeur to bring me to work. Sorry boss, what did you say? Yes of course I know where the railway station is.

DISCOVER BENDIGO

Musical talents nurtured AS previously stated, Benjamin Odgers married Annie Arthur in 1886. She was the daughter of Grace Arthur, a widow who had married Ben’s father, also called Benjamin, a widower. In 1887 Benjamin junior and Annie had a daughter, Daphne May. She was, sadly, the only surviving child out of five subsequent births. The young Odgers family lived in a simple weatherboard miner’s cottage in Bolt Street, Long Gully. As houses did not have numbers at that time, most had a name, in order to differentiate them from their neighbours. The Odgers called their cottage Pleasure Terrace. To us today, the name invokes thoughts of something far more grand than their home really was. When Mr Odgers went to the West Australian goldfields in 1896 to take up the mine management position at the Kalgoorlie Proprietary Mine, he established himself there before Annie and Daphne were sent for to

WITH

JAMES LERK join him. Daphne continued her schooling at Kalgoorlie/Coolgardie, and in particular her musical studies progressed there as well. Her dexterity at the piano improved as she approached her teenage years. Daphne was 13 when she and her mother Annie moved back to Long Gully, when Benjamin went to manage a gold mine in the Federated Malay States for a Singapore based company in 1900. Back in Bendigo, Daphne’s studies continued. The best piece of furniture in the Bolt Street cottage was the piano, the keyboard of which could never accumulate dust, as she practised so regularly. Daphne’s musical talents were fostered by none other than Arthur G. Finster. Mr Finster shared the same name and skills as his father, who was always referred to as Herr Finster, the “music professor”. The professor title

was not an official university one. It was given to people who had exhibited very high technical skills in their particular discipline in the 19th century. Mr Finster senior lived in McLaren Street, which was a salubrious address at that time. Originally, in the 1860s, he had lived in Little Bull Street. He was an important figure in the musical life of the city, having the position of conductor of the Bendigo Deutsche Lieder-

“Finster was actively involved in the first Austral Competitions, today’s Bendigo Competitions.” tafel, one of the pre-eminent musical groups of the town. Mr Finster junior, took after his father and also became a teacher of music. One of his professional appointments was to the state schools in Bendigo, where he was the specialist who went from school to school, a very demanding role. In a private capacity, Mr Finster jnr taught strings, piano

and singing. Mr Finster jnr, as with other people with musical talents, was regularly involved in charitable concerts and performances. These were held as a means of raising funds for those people who today would be caught in the social security safety net. In these charitable activities, Mr Finster came in regular contact with other well-known

names in the music scene of Bendigo, such as Northcott, Bindley and numerous others. One of the groups to which Mr Finster belonged was the Histrionic Ethiopian Lilliputian Performers or HELP, which in 1887 raised money for the victims of the Arblaster Explosives Factory disaster. Another group was the LaMascotte Company. They performed

Mr Finster was keen to see his students do well and in 1897, while Daphne Odgers was still in the west, he was actively involved in the first Austral Competitions, today’s Bendigo Competitions. He took out the award for the best school choir with the youngsters from Gravel Hill State School. At the time of the

first competitions, Mr Finster was living in Garsed Street where his private students were tutored. As a tribute to the musical teaching talents of Mr Finster jnr, the above photograph was taken by Bartlett Brothers in 1910. It shows some of his students who had gained diplomas and other awards for their acquired skills, including Daphne May Odgers.

THE history theme for the grade threes at Girton Grammar School this term is “significant people, significant buildings�, so it was inevitable they would bump up against George Lansell everywhere they turned in Bendigo. “We’ve been learning about Bendigo and its history,� teacher Rachelle Fisher said. “So, of course we found out about Lansell, and the whole history of how Lansell ended up in Fortuna. “Bendigo is built on the solid foundations of gold, and yet our students are not able to see where the biggest part of their history comes from.� Firing up Bendigo’s youngest historians, Ms Fisher invited president of the Friends of Fortuna action group Patrick Thwaites to talk to the class about the Villa’s history.

Heritage Victoria is poised to consider registering the site, and the previous state government making the first step towards funding for a cultural centre with commercial potential.

are all members of the society,� Ms Fisher said. “He told them this is your history, your town, and they became very excited as they started to discover their local history. “We’ve never done local history before, and we’re all learning so much.� The letters to the editor gave the young historians a chance to voice their concerns about Fortuna and their desire to see this grand mansion; it was also an opportunity for Ms Fisher to help them formulate a persuasive argument. Like any good lobby group, they enumerate their points: first, second and third – and conclude with a succinct call to action. As Esther said in her letter: “It has been there for a long time: we want our children to see this amazing building one day.�

ENTERTAINED

KEY TO SUCCESS BEN CAMERON “Sarah McKenzie is a musical marvel” C o m pliments are thrown about a lot in the music industry, but this one in particular, carries a bit more weight than most. It comes from trumpeting sensation James Morrison, talking about jazz prodigy, Sarah McKenzie. Bendigo can claim ownership of this one, even if she left the region very young. “I was about three or four at the time,” she laughs. “We had a beautiful house, that much I can remember.” The 23-year-old pianist, composer and vocalist currently resides in Carlton North, but her world is set to get a lot bigger. She’s just released her debut album, the Chong Lim produced Don’t Tempt Me; an eclectic album, which “cracks and smoulders”, taking in not just blues and jazz tunes, but also some classic pop interpretations, like “Love Me Tender”. It also contains three originals, including the title track she recorded with Morrison, and “Love Me or Love Me”, written when McKenzie was just 16 years of age. While b.entertained doesn’t claim to be experts in the art of jazz, we’re informed the LP is a “crucial milestone in the rapidly developing career of McKenzie, whom critics around the country have identified

as a once-in-a-generation talent.” She also wields a talent for cunning self promotion, although not in an egotistical way. “It’s so exciting (to have an album out). To walk into a CD store and see my album is an incredible feeling,” she says. “Funnily enough I had to sort through the M section to try and find it. Once I found them I tried to make them as visible as possible. “A girl’s got to eat, I need to sell a few records.” The witty performer studied music at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, straight out of high school, where Hugh Jackman and Lisa McCune honed their crafts. “It has a really concentrated jazz scene,” she says. “It’s quality rather than quantity.” Their talents must have rubbed off as McKenzie’s habit for collecting top shelf awards began, including the Jack Bendat Scholarship, the Hawaiian Award for Most Outstanding Jazz Graduate and the Perth Jazz Society’s Award for leading the Most Outstanding Group of the Year for 2008. Since her return to Melbourne, the silverware has followed; notably, the James Morrison Scholarship, earned after six consecutive years in his Generations in Jazz talent development program. “I tried for a very long time to win the James Morrison Scholarship, which is probably the most prestigious young jazz award in the country,” she says. “I was the finalist for six consecutive years without winning, and on the final year I finally won it. “Which is great, because for a long time I was known

as the James Morrison Scholarship’s Biggest Loser, so it was a nice victory for me. “James is amazing, I have the greatest respect for him.” The rise of McKenzie has been incredible, especially when you consider she doesn’t hail from a musical family – her father played a bit of trumpet in high school, but that’s about it. But at the age of 13, McKenzie got hooked on jazz, and she’s extremely specific about the when and wheres. “I had bought a Jazz CD on recommendation from a teacher,” she says. “It was a compilation called Jazz On A Winter’s Night and the first song on it was Oscar Peterson’s “Night Train”. “I had to learn it right there and then, I loved it so much.” While her contemporaries were gorging themselves on the Spice Girls and the like, McKenzie’s tastes were a touch more refined. “I felt a bit weird to be honest,” she laughs. “I didn’t really understand why I had this hobby, this music that was popular in the 1950s, not now. “None of my friends were doing it.” She didn’t keep her passions hidden though. “I didn’t want to keep it a secret, I wanted to find as much of it as I could,” she says.

“I wanted to be part of anything to do with it.” A few years later her moment of true clarity came when she saw James Morrison play trumpet. “It was a revelation,” she says. “I was like ‘wow, I can actually be a jazz musician’. “It’s not this weird thing that I only know about, there are other people actually playing and making a living out of it. “Right there and then, I knew what I was going to do.” Good jazz had taken its first real swing at her solarplexus. “(I love) the tremendous feel that hits you first,” she says of jazz. “Whenever you hear good jazz, it’s the feel.” She felt, and practiced, her way into her high school’s big band by the age of 14. Despite years of jazz education, and an eviable pedigree, it hasn’t formed an elitist attitude to other music. “It’s all just music at the end of the day, as long as people have intentions of making good music,” she says. So what does she say to those who accuse jazz of being a little too unstructured, too loose? “Buy a copy of my CD and tell me what you think,” she laughs. Don’t Tempt Me is out now

MUSICAL GOLDMINE JAKE SCHATZ THE Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival is full steam ahead for November, and it’s looking like it’s going to be absolutely huge. If you’re a music fan, there is no better way to throw your support behind the event than making your way to the festival fundraiser tomorrow afternoon at the Goldmines Hotel. The sensational venue is playing host to 19 bands – a stellar musical showcase for only $10.

The three-stage arrangement will give punters a chance to not only get a feel for some of the great out-of-town acts that will be returning for the festival in November, but also a chance to sample a host of local musical delights, from intricate soloists to fleshed out ensembles. Six brilliant solo artists will take to the dining room stage, with local girls TJ and Judy Judy guaranteed to impress. Alawishus Jones is an entertainer like no other and should not be missed.

ECLECTIC ELECTRIC MEGAN SPENCER It’s another busy time for Bendigo in the world of ‘sound art’‌

Firstly, local musician and radio presenter Mick Derrick – aka Metal Mick, presenter of Phoenix FM’s weekly experimental music program On The Wires Of Our Nerves – is one of the locals behind a noise/sound art extravaganza, coming up at the Newmarket Hotel on July 16. Called the Eclectic Electric Experimental Music Festival, 10 hours of contemporary experimental music will blast/ leak from the Newmarket’s PA on July 16. Kicking off at 2pm, the festival features more than 13 local and Melbourne bands and artists – including Jacques Soddell from Bendigo’s Undue Noise – with band names such as Sore, Dead River, Bum Creek and Blankface Distortion. I love it. Having met Mick a few times, I have to say that I think he is one of Bendigo’s treasures. He’s the kind of guy who gets excited about scoring a crateful of movies on obsolete VHS. Same with cassettes (one of his main interests on Mick’s Facebook page is Cassette Culture). You just know he’s going

Sound Massage to find a way to make them work – either by giving them to other dedicated tape-o-files – and yes, even in this digital age, they are out there – or come up with some kooky creative way of using them. No doubt the audio from his cassettes will be put to good use in Eclectic Electric when it comes time for Mick to take to the stage for his own crazy music set. Events like Eclectic Electric reinforce the excitement I have about living in Bendigo; occasionally underground events emerge to prove that a whole subculture of quiet creatives are working away in our own backyard for little or no money, undaunted, evolving how we see or hear the world we live in. Again, I love it. Speaking of Jacques Soddell‌ He’s been busy helping to organise another visit to Bendigo by “sense specificâ€? Festival of Sound Arts, Liquid Architecture, now in its 12th year. Due to hit town next Wednesday, this is also Liquid Architecture’s fourth visit to Bendigo, such has Dragon City’s reputation as a sound arts supporter grown over the past decade.

Boasting “sound massages� in the afternoon between 2pm to 5pm by French artist Pascal Battus, and a full-blown concert from 8pm, LA12 will ensconce itself at Latrobe University’s Visual Arts Centre in View Street, instantly making a liar out of the venue (think about it!) Lazy’s Dave Brown from Melbourne, Lukas Simonis from The Netherlands and Australian classical-violinistcum-field-recordist Lizzie Pogson, will also take part in the Concert, which begins at 8pm. The “sound massages� are unique “one on one� sound performances which I dare say rattle you to your bones. Lastly – told you it was busy! - this week I came across a new national arts competition presented by Bendigo’s Flare Magazine and Grapho Allegiance group. The call for entries opened this week and closes September 2. The idea is for artists to make work in any medium around the theme, “Analogue To Digital�. The competition will culminate in a special one-nightonly exhibition at the Bendigo Trades Hall in View Street, on October 14.

comes to you

Darren Henson of DG Henson Landscaping is your local, experienced earth moving machinery owner-operator. While the business has been established for nine years, Darren has been in and around the industry most of his life. His extensive landscaping and mini excavator work has given him a really good understanding of what’s required on a site or garden clearance or clean. Darren has a number of machines for hire to help you get the job done effectively. These include a New Holland skid steer and a Terex track skid steer for site cleans. Each of these machines come with a set of forks as well as 250 to 600mm augers. These can be interchanged with a 5.5 tonne excavator. In addition, the excavator has five buckets ranging from 300 to 1200mm.The excavator has an attachable jack hammer for use on site cuts as well as for creating post holes and a range of other work. The New Holland skid steer also has a 1.5 tonne lifting capacity which makes it very useful for lifting pallets of bricks or roof tiles. With his experience and his range of machinery, Darren can undertake laser levelling on your site with confidence. DG Henson also have 3cu.m and an 8cu.m tip trucks for hire to help you complete the job. Covering the Bendigo region, the days and hours for operator and machinery hire can be flexible to suit your requirements. Give Darren a call to discuss what he can do for you. Phone 0438 521 665.

Why not have the workshop and a skilled trades person come to you instead? After 12 years servicing Bendigo and surrounding areas, Central Vic Windscreens is now under new ownership. Local man Greg Lowe took over the business in May. He brings 15 years of extensive experience in the automotive glass industry with him, having worked in and around Bendigo and also in Cairns. Greg repairs or replaces the glass of cars, trucks, buses and a wide range of machinery, including tractors and other farm equipment. “I can repair or replace side, rear and windscreen glass, in fact any kind of automotive glass,� Greg said.

Not only this, he also repairs chip damage to all kinds of vehicles. As Central Vic Windscreens sole owneroperator, you’ll have the benefit of dealing directly with Greg. With customer satisfaction as his priority, Greg places great value in offering a prompt response, good value for money and a personalised service.

there’s usually no waiting period, with Greg aiming to provide a same-day service where possible or within 24 hours at the latest. “Central Vic Windscreens also offer a lifetime Australia-wide warranty on all workmanship,� he added. so the next time you need some automotive glass repaired or replaced, give Greg a call on 0407 445 980.

KELPIE, RED/TAN FEMALE, 3 YEARS

I am an alert and active girl with a good level of obedience if I am instructed by a calm but assertive owner. I may have worked stock as I show a keen intelligence and sharp visual focus. I am sociable with some dogs, but I am quite a dominant girl and my owner will need leadership to set me straight about who is in charge. If I have a domestic home, I would do really well with someone who can spend time with me and enjoy the devotion I am capable of giving.

WOTTYWOT DSH, TORTOISESHELL/WHITE FEMALE, 6 MONTHS

Hi, I’m Wottywot, I am a very attractive cat who has a big personality, I’m sociable and outgoing. I’m friendly but I don’t like being picked up a lot so I would be best suited to a family with older children. I’m more of a cat who would love to just sit on your lap. Come in and see me. I am not desexed but I will be once I am adopted.

Bendigo RSPCA would like to advise people to make sure that their pets are kept safe under shelter with adequate food and that they are provided with much needed warm bedding as the weather is becoming more wild and much cooler.

CYCLING

SPORT SHORTS

Riding the storm DID he or didn’t he? That’s the question on every cycling fan’s minds as seventime Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong faces a barrage of finger pointing that he too indulged in drug taking and allegedly cheated his way into the pages of sporting history. For mine, cycling cannot afford for Armstrong to be guilty. But then again, the sport of cycling cannot afford for the mounting doubts over Armstrong’s past to linger either. So much of the sport’s growth and international success has been underpinned by his legendary efforts during those seven successive July campaigns, and if Armstrong was found to have cheated, the sport risks total humiliation and a meltdown. Armstrong is a champion of champions whose achievements are the stuff of legends. To win seven Tours is one thing, but to do so after overcoming a particularly aggressive and deadly form of cancer elevates the American’s achievements to an even higher level. Olympic gold medallist and now Bendigo based former pro rider Scott Mc-

ON DECK BENDIGO Jockey Club’s newest construction has been officially opened. Racegoers at Bendigo can now enjoy race viewing from a new $100,000 jointly funded deck opened this week by Racing Minister Denis Napthine. After watching the running of the $60,000 Mosstrooper Steeplechase, Napthine said the deck was a great addition to the Bendigo racecourse.

BOROUGH CLOSE EAGLEHAWK and Maryborough played the match of the split Round 10 of the Bendigo Football Netball League Senior Netball competition this week. Maryborough stormed home from a nine-goal deficit at three quarter time, to lose 46-43 to the Hawks. Golden Square continued its strong form, downing South Bendigo 51-34. In the weekend’s other game, Kangaroo Flat accounted for Castlemaine 61-23.

FOOTY TIGHT

QUESTIONS: Lance Armstrong in action. Photo: Courtesy www.dhantenan.com Grory brought up the issue most plaguing cycling in the lead up to this year’s Tour de France during a recent interview with foxsports.com.au where he said cycling cannot afford to keep digging up the past, but if Armstrong did do something wrong, he needs to held accountable. McGrory said cycling had done a lot to improve its drug testing procedures and clean-up the sport. “They’ve tightened the

net so much that it’s very rare that riders can actually do anything illegal at the moment,” he told Fox. “In the case of Armstrong, it’s going to be very damaging to the sport,” McGrory said when asked what the ramifications would be if the champ were found guilty. “I just hope it gets reported in a way that, it is a previous era and we’re concentrating on new generation of young guys that are

coming through. “They’re coming through a much cleaner generation.” For his part, Armstrong denies any wrongdoing and has passed nearly 500 tests. McGrory believes the Tour de France legend will be acquitted due to insufficient evidence, but has also pointed out that “it doesn’t look good” for the American icon, who has used his legacy to set-up the Livestrong Foundation that

supports people affected by cancer. “The evidence just continues to build and it certainly does taint his legacy regardless of whether he’s cleared or not,” he said. “A lot of the evidence is circumstantial, but there’s so much of it that it’s hard not to believe it. “Even if he is eventually cleared, I think there’s been a lot of damage done.” – Peter Kennedy and www.foxsports.com.au

It all adds up on the road WHAT do cycling and being an accountant have in common? Apart from both being a bit of a gamble at times – keeping things upright and not falling off – they can both involve the collection and interpretation of figures and data. In June 2010 work colleagues Geoff Curnick and Gerry Truscott were faced with being more than half a century in age and working in sedentary jobs. Between them both they decided to ride 400 kilometres to and from work. Being accountants, spreadsheets were developed with budget estimates kilometres covered, budgeted times, variances, graphs etc. (Sad but true, they admit).

WITH

EDDIE BARKLA The bet was a massive Tattslotto ticket if they fell short of what, at the time, seemed a massive total to achieve in a month. They both met target in achieving their goal for June 2010 but decided to continue the bet with variances made for kilometres in credit. Both Geoff and Gerry commented there is nothing more refreshing then riding home in the dark and rain into a stiff headwind – but it is worth it in the long run. Part of the agreement is that they don’t succumb to expensive road bikes

and lycra, perhaps to meet budget on the spreadsheet) and have kept to the trackie pants and loose tops. The only upgrade was some clip-in pedals for one of them, although this has caused some anxious moments when forgetting they are clipped in and tipping over sideways. In October 2010 Gerry upgraded his bike to a hybrid special for $250. Not to be outdone, Geoff went for technological advantage with a $500 investment. Geoff confesses that updating to working gears and components that run well changed the experience big time. Instead of a drive to and from work both Geoff and Gerry are now hooked

BETS ON: Geoff and Gerry have a healthy rivalry.

IT now seems like a battle for second, third, fourth and fifth in the Bendigo Football Netball League’s Senior Football competition, with Golden Square almost unbackable for another flag. The Bulldogs demolished second-placed South Bendigo by 117 points at the Queen Elizabeth Oval on Saturday. The 23.21.159 to 6.6.42 result saw the Bloods slip to third, and possible fourth by the end of the split round next week. Eaglehawk’s 40-point win over Maryborough saw the Eagles jump to second. That is likely to change next week, when Strathfieldsaye hosts Gisborne at Tannery Lane. Both teams are equal on points, and almost equal on percentage, with the winner likely to jump to second. Kangaroo Flat had a narrow five-point win over Castlemaine, to help keep its slim finals chance alive. Sandhurst faces Kyneton at Huntly on Sunday in the round’s final game.

LADY BRAVES WIN

on riding in whenever they can – always the long way so as to get the kilometres needed. They are very fortunate to have an employer and workplace that has a shower and storage for clean clothes. What is really pleasing about meeting Geoff and Gerry is neither of them have to ride, they could drive to and from work. No real extra time is

required, it just means half an hour or so earlier out of bed in the morning, and an extra 30 minutes on the way home. As the months have come and gone the budgeted goal has increased, together with the actual kilometres travelled. In May 2011 the kilometres for the month were over 1000km each and the bet remains a simple Tattslotto ticket.

THE Bendigo Lady Braves will be looking for their third win in a row against Hobart tonight in the South . The Braves travel to the Apple Isle after wins against cellar-dwellers Frankston and Sandringham in the past two weeks. The side downed Frankston 57-48 away on Saturday. A win will go a long way to securing the Brave’s top four chances.

BRAVES ON TOP THE Bendigo Braves continue to top the SEABL East Conference Ladder, after two impressive wins on the weekend. The Braves beat Frankston 81-89 on Saturday, and Sandringham 93-79 on Sunday. The side faces another away double header this weekend, taking on Hobart and North West Tasmania on Friday and Saturday.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

Mars, your ruling planet, shifts your attention to fresh territory. During the next six weeks, your activities and feelings will be intensified in the life sector related to vehicles, short distance travels, errands, communications, education, your neighborhood, and siblings. Use caution while driving because your accelerator foot may be a bit itchy.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

You may have a tendency during this period to slide into old and outmoded patterns of emotional behavior. Maybe this will be brought on by the re-entry of someone in your life. While it may be fun for a short time, very quickly you will become fatigued with it and shake loose of that outdated habit.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Your attitude about yourself is not altogether accurate right now. You may think way too much of your ideas, or alternately, you may see yourself as lower than scum. Neither one is accurate and you should probably not make decisions of any importance this week. Spiritual pursuits are given a “go” signal.

Cancer (June 21 - July 21): People of the past may resurface. You will be glad to see these individuals, but more likely you will be reminded why they are no longer in your life. Somehow they are associated with old wounds in your life and you would just as soon let those memories go back to the ethers. Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

2406

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): You may encounter someone from your past in education. Maybe this is some type of class reunion. The two of you will have a fine time reminiscing together. It is also possible that someone from the past will find you through the internet, as is so often done these days. Travel plans will be altered.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19): Others in your life will be drawing deeply from your emotional resources. It is fine to hold onto your boundaries and not give away the store. If you go too far, you will become resentful or irritable and that won’t help anyone. Work toward balance between giving and self-care.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): Surprise, changeability, and general rebellion are the qualities prominent this week. You may be the one who feels rebellious and wants to be left alone. Or it could be your partner or a good friend. You need to operate individually now, so it doesn’t matter. Tend to your vehicle if it complains.

The early part of the week runs smoothly. You will be hearing good comments about yourself. However, someone at the workplace or in your routine life may want to challenge you to a battle of wills. It is important that you stay in touch with your best self and step aside from any sort of ugly scenario.

You are concluding a cycle of several weeks at this time. Your attention will begin to shift toward issues of intimacy and partnership, joint and corporate financial matters, taxes, and/or estate and business planning. A disappointment in one of these areas this week likely will cause you to become tougher and more self-reliant.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20):

You may be feeling irritable and a little nervous. You can’t be sure whether someone significant in your life is really telling you the truth or treating you honestly. The probability is that there is some sort of deception present. Take good care of yourself and your personal boundaries.

If you have been hoping for “help” in the area of resources, this is the week it will arrive. It can come through an approved loan, insurance payoff, partner’s resources, or a good investment. A friend may offer to give you time, assistance, or a loan.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

Take every precaution not to abuse your body during this period. Drugs or alcohol could have peculiar side effects that you don’t understand. You are in a low physical cycle and will be unable to push yourself as hard as normal on any physical task. Your body/feelings will right themselves in July.

TEAM SPIRIT: Bendigo’s newest residents play for Golden City. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Harmony the goal Soccer team brings diverse cultures together THE world game is alive and kicking at the Golden City Soccer Club in North Bendigo with the help of some of the city’s newest residents. The club, which will celebrate its 40th birthday this year, has a strong anglo-celtic history but there is change in the air. Thanks to the help of Judy Stewart and Heather Beever of Team Bendigo many of Bendigo’s newest soccer stars have found their way to the humble surrounds of Shadforth Park. Team Bendigo is made up of 10 organisations responding to the social challenges faced by refugees living in the Bendigo region. While other agencies assist the refugees with housing, food, education and health, Team Bendigo helps facilitate social inclusion through sport.

Golden City president Steve Graham, committee members, coaches and players are leading the way in welcoming new players from other parts of the globe. Across the entire club up to 20 players from the Karen and African communities proudly wear the Golden City strip each weekend. Golden City youth coach Wayne Robertson said the club struggled to find a starting XI without the younger boys continually playing. “Now we have that and more along with a healthy bench each week,” he said. “The newcomers are also making their mark in the Women’s, First and Second divisions and junior ranks. “Once the games kick off any language barriers are quickly left on the bench and the fun begins.”

Cr Fyffe said the pavilion is built from corrugated colorbond cladding and features a large social clubroom area, accessible changeroom, shower and toilet facilities, a new kitchen, storage space, polished concrete floors and decking around the outside of the building. “It has been designed to blend with the natural bushland surrounds of the Spring Gully area and has been an important joint project between the City of Greater Bendigo, the State Government and Spring Gully Tennis Club,” he said. “This project was completed

Bendigo Thunder rolls on THE Bendigo Thunder all but secured its position in the top four of the Victorian Women’s Football League with a thumping win over fifth-place Melton Centrals at Bendigo on the weekend. In what was considered a must-win for the Thunder, the team showed the determination to take charge of the game from the outset. Despite a low-scoring first quarter due to some inaccurate kicking, the Thunder led at the first change and capitalised in the second quarter kicking 5.3, keeping the Centrals scoreless and controlling the lead at every change. The Thunder stormed home with a final score of

12.14.86 to 2.3.15. Kirsty Short played well in her first game with the Thunder, kicking two goals. Maddi Kindellan led the goal scorers with three, Brea Hards kicked two and Matti Myers, Letisha Stewart, Cherie O’Neil, Tameeka Morrissey and Sarah Baldwin all kicked one.

Bombers back on QEO at last By BEN CAMERON

AFTER inspecting the surface on Tuesday, Bendigo Bombers coach Shannon Grant is rapt to have his team back on the Queen Elizabeth Oval this Saturday against top-placed Williamstown. “It’s come up really well, the ground looks really good,” Grant said. “We’re really looking forward to it, they’ve (City of Greater Bendigo) obviously put a lot of work into getting it right over the summer. “I’ve kept a pretty close eye on it, I was down there Tuesday and had a good look over it, I was pretty impressed with how much it’s improved.” Grant noticed only a few minor changes to the ground’s dimensions. “It did look a little bit different, it’s still got the bigger pockets ,” he said. “I think up the far end they were a bit bigger and a bit wider last year, but it seems quite well proportioned. “They’ve clearly done their homework.” After 376 days off the ground, the Bombers could face a Williamstown team boasting struggling stars Barry Hall and Brian Lake. “They’ve played the last

few weeks so we’ll plan for them,” he said. The Bombers are in the top four after thrashing the Box Hill Hawks by 73 points last week, led by a five-goal haul from rising star Ariel Steinberg. Grant said if Steinberg remained consistent, a berth with Essendon was definitely on the cards. “He was pretty good last week, it’s probably the best game he’s played this year,” Grant said. “He’s getting better every week. If he continues to play like that, week in and week out, he’ll be close.” Grant also singled out Alex Browne and young defender Luke Davis as promising youngsters who would have a future at the club. Despite sitting in the top bracket of teams, Grant said player development was of premium importance. “We’re just rolling along but the biggest thing we want to do each year is to improve, educate and develop the players,” he said. “If that comes with playing finals footy, that’s great.” The Bombers play their final two games of the season at the QEO, a Round 21 clash against North Ballarat on August 20, and Coburg on August 27.

Poles apart

WORLD CLASS: The CCB team of Madeline Lawson, Sophie Taylor, Ebony Whiley, Celine Mountjoy, Madeleine Evely and Brigette Dillon. BENDIGO can now lay claim to three junior world beaters. Representing the Bendigo Catholic College at the World Schools Knockout Cup in Poland, Madeline Lawson (400 metres) Brigette Dillon (hurdles), and Sophie Taylor (100m) came first in their events. Lawson beat her Bulgarian opponent by .48

seconds, Dillon edged out her Chinese rival by .11 sec while Taylor won by .22 seconds. It was a team effort however and through the efforts of Ebony Whiley, Celine Mountjoy and Madeline Evely, the school sat fifth overall after 15 rounds.
