FAIR DINKUM Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

By BEN CAMERON

IT’S business as usual.

That’s the view of outspoken Eaglehawk ward councillor Peter Cox, days after he sparked dramatic scenes at Monday’s special meeting of council by walking out of the meeting.

Late yesterday, Cr Cox maintained the events of Monday night were a thing of the past and that he would be part of next Wednesday’s ordinary council meeting.

Cox back on board after walkout “I’m fine, it’s all part of being a councillor and working through the issues,” he said.

“It’s business as usual, we’ll have the debate next Wednesday night at its rightful place at an ordinary council meeting.”

Cr Cox wants other councillors to be allowed into the debate over

the awarding of a tender for the proposed multi-storey car park, but conflict of interest rules are an obstacle to this occurring.

Cr Cox told the Bendigo Weekly he had not been affected by the comments of fellow councillors in the wake of Monday’s high drama, despite being labelled out of order

by North West Plains ward Cr Bruce Phillips.

“Not at all, everyone is entitled to their opinion, including myself, and I’ve made that fairly plain so I’m not discouraged at all,” he said.

“It’s adding to the debate on accountability and what Bendigo really needs.”

He said his stance had been very well received at this week’s Eaglehawk ward meeting, which was attended by about 35 people.

City of Greater Bendigo mayor Rod Fyffe said the council decision to discuss the proposed new $16 million multi-storey car park at a special meeting of council was about getting “fair dinkum” with the community. Continued Page 4

172 McIvor Highway, Bendigo

NATIONALS Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum has taken a cautious approach to questions about whether or not Bendigo needs a new courthouse.

The Weekly first raised the issue in 2006, when it highlighted concerns about security, overcrowding, poor disabled access and a lack of privacy in the main courthouse.

Other issues at the time included Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal hearings having to be held in judges’ chambers, the judges themselves mixing with the public before and after decisions were made, and major courts such as the Federal Magistrates’ Court having to sit in surrounding towns because of the unsuitability of the Bendigo building.

Police Prosecutor Dave Somerton, lawyers Marika McMahon, Megan Aumair, Gary Quinn, Peter Noble, and Stella Stuthridge campaigned for a new court, as did Magistrate William Gibb and Chief Magistrate Ian Gray.

A recent Auditor General’s report said the Department of Justice wanted an “immediate replacement or refurbishment”, applying for funding in 2009-10, but to no avail.

Former Attorney General Rob Hulls was believed to have supported a new court, but for-

3From Page 3 He rejected Cr Cox’s comments that council had been lacking in good governance.

“Special meetings can be called, we had on the agenda we were going to consider the gaming submission and certainly the multi-storey car park.

“There were no surprises for the public or surprises for the councillors.”

Cr Fyffe also disagreed with Cr Cox’s belief that council should have delayed the rubber stamping of the project until after all official budget submissions.

“We’ve factored in the commencement of the car park in this current financial year’s budget, so from that point of view there were sufficient funds for the car park.”

However, he conceded a mistake had been made by not putting the item on the internet until Monday, the day of the meeting.

“We should have put it out two days before,” he said.

WALKOUT SPARKS CRISIS As City of Greater Bendigo councillors prepared to vote on the controversial topic of the new multi-storey car park in Edwards Street on Monday, Cr James Reade questioned Cr Peter Cox’s desire to make an opening statement.

Moments later Cr Cox removed himself from council chambers, sparking unprecedented scenes for the City.

As Epsom ward Cr Lisa Ruffell, Strathfieldsaye ward Cr Keith Reynard and Flora Hill ward Cr Alec Sandhurst had left the meeting moments before due to a conflict of interest, reducing the number of voting councillors to just five, Cr Cox’s sudden departure meant council could not legally vote.

OH MERCY TAKES OFF With enough talent and hard work, sometimes you make your own luck.

For that reason, Oh Mercy’s Alexander Gow has been deservedly fortunate.

From his Fitzroy home, which he shares with members of The Panics, Gow talks modestly about the success Oh Mercy have enjoyed in recent times, as if the delicately effective voice and undoubted talent for writing emotive and tight pop tunes, were a secondary issue.

“Triple J are solely responsible for Oh Mercy having a career,” he says of the national broadcaster.

“They picked us up from the start and supported us and took our music national, and gave us the mandate to drive around the country and play.”

BENDIGO’S BEST BLUES LAST weekend’s Bendigo Blues & Roots Festival fundraiser was the best yet. That’s the view of organisers, who say with its three uniquely individual performance areas, the picturesque courtyard, historic cellar and stylish dining room, the elegant and historic Gold Mines Hotel makes for a perfect host venue.

With 19 acts performing this was a musical feast for all, with a line-up that demonstrated the incredible diversity that resides within the Blues and Roots scene.

The Rhythm Kings kicked proceedings off in splendid style on the courtyard stage with a magnificent set of guitarrich, searing Blues set the benchmark high for the quality of music and performance that the day ahead promised.

provides funding packages for families such as the O’Sullivans, but they must be confirmed before any service provider will let families order services and supplies in advance. “I still care for Holly full time, as there is still no outof-home respite here, and I have been trying to get DHS to talk to me regarding her funding, but we still have no actual package for her,�

Mrs O’Sullivan said. “They are paying sporadically but not consistently and we need them to give us an idea of how much her package is so that we can itemise her plan. “For example, I have been paying for nappies for months at a time, but if I had an actual Individual Service Plan, I would be able to order these in advance.�

Mrs O’Sullivan said the list of requirements was

large, but she couldn’t apply for them because the DHS has not organised a service plan, the family cannot get a DHS case manager to help write a plan and DHS has not returned calls or emails for three months. “I am beyond fed up, we are trying to get out of here, but guess what, I am supposed to be able to take her funding with me, but no-one will return my calls at DHS about this either,� she said. “We didn’t want to go to the media again, but what other options do we have. “We don’t want to make a fuss, but this is our last resort. It is just so disheartening, and we feel really abandoned by DHS. “We are grateful that they are at times paying, but there is just no communication between us and no-one to stand up for us.�

Mrs O’Sullivan said

she had approached most health professionals in the region for help. “I rang every single psychiatrist from here to Castlemaine and not one would see her because she is autistic,� she said. “Autism is one of three diagnoses that come under the Federal Government’s Registered Mental Health List, so why won’t these professionals see people with autism? I imagine because they are so difficult to treat. “So, where does that leave the poor buggers?

Holly and many others with autism are on psych drugs that require monitoring by trained psychiatrists, not psychologists, GPs or even many pediatricians because they just do not have the expertise.�

A DHS spokesperson was unavailable for comment.

A FAMILY severely impacted by disability and illness could be forced to leave Bendigo because of a lack of support services.

In October 2009, the Bendigo Weekly published an emotional letter from Carolyn and Mick O’Sullivan.

The O’Sullivan family had just been through a lot.

Connor, who was eight at the time, had just gone into remission from leukemia.

And the family was facing another huge challenge.

Holly, 14 at at the time, has severe autism and requires aroundthe-clock care. Her condition has deteriorated with the onset of adolescence and she has become mentally and physically unmanageable.

Despite all this, the city’s medical fraternity seemingly threw up its hands and could not provide the family with the support, respite or solution it needed.

The article created attention, and some respite was given, but, almost two years on, Mrs O’Sullivan said longer-term respite was no closer, and the Department of Human Services, and other medical services, still had no solution.

She claims the DHS has failed to pay a private respite company within the agreed timeframe at least three times, with more than $16,000 owed currently.

The provider has confirmed this.

Stadium head calls for pokie ruling “It would stop further applications, it’s been done successfully in Geelong. “This is council’s opportunity to make a decision.�

Geelong has capped its number at 1421 poker machines. The idea of a cap was floated by Kangaroo Flat ward councillor Barry Lyons, a Bendigo Stadium board member, on Monday night at a special meeting of council.

ner were the only councillors to back the Stadium’s application.

Mr Goddard said he would prepare thoroughly for a Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation hearing in August.

Eaglehawk ward councillor Peter Cox also successfully put forward a submission to the VCGR that the overall economic and social impact of the gaming proposal is detrimental to the area. “It gives some teeth

to the motion tonight (to vote against 30 extra pokies),� he said. “What we need to do is make every effort to make a comprehensive submission on this matter.�

He said council should be represented at the hearing in August.

Earlier this year, council’s decision to object to The Foundry gaining more poker machines was overturned at VCAT. Mr Goddard would not say if VCAT was an option.

STEP UP: Russell Jenkins from Bendigo Bank.

“There are elements of that (the Tall Poppy Syndrome), but I do think the broader community gets behind success.”

Mr Jenkins, who is a keen cyclist, and treats the coffee shops in busy Bath Lane as almost a second office, said it is important for the city to continue to develop the cosmopolitan atmosphere of a healthy downtown precinct.

“The arts, the coffee shops, the university – you have to create the environment, and build on that, so kids see it as a good place to grow up in, and to come to live,” he said.

“For this, we need good leaders.”

WHEN Tammy Booby spoke to the Bendigo Weekly almost two years ago after giving birth to her ninth child, Ziennah, she had one message – no more.

However, the pull of having another won out, and Khiarah Maree, Tammy and husband Craig’s 10th child, was born earlier this month.

Tammy said she always wanted 10 children, but didn’t actually think it would happen.

The family had to move from Golden Square to Strathfieldsaye after Ziennah’s birth.

“We had to get a bigger house,” she said.

The Booby’s first three children – Kyle, 20, Corey, 18 and Joel, 16 – were all boys, with seven girls – Skye, 15, Jessica, 12, Charlee, 9, Allysha, 5, Rebekah, 4 and Ziennah.

After nine children, and a lot of the letter ‘h’, finding a name for number 10 was a stretch for Tammy.

“The latest name was made up, you can tell that,” she said.

“She kicked me two days before she was born and it just popped into my head.”

And what of the future?

“This is definitely the last time,” she said. “I made sure of that.”

BENDIGO has two options ahead, according to one of the city’s high flyers.

It can continue thinking of itself as a “gawky teenager” or it can step up to the big league.

“There’s a lot of belief around now, around things like the hospital project, which will attract specialists, and as that grows, we’re getting better at talking ourselves up,” head of Customer and Community at the Bendigo & Adelaide Bank Russell Jenkins said.

“Attitude is a big one, and that’s what we’ve been through with our own business.

ONE dress, two brides, 40 years apart.

This wedding dress has two chances to win the Bendigo Weekly second honeymoon competition after being shared by mother and daughter combination Win Byrne and Jenny McCormick.

Soon after Win and Jack Byrne set their wedding date for August 21, 1954, Win rang her former flatmate, well-known dressmaker Mavis Carne and asked her to make the dresses for herself and her bridesmaids.

Win knew she wanted a lace dress so she and Mavis worked together on the design. Mavis lived in Swan Hill at the time but she bought the lace in Melbourne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I travelled to Swan Hill for the initial measuring and again for one fitting before Mavis brought the dress to Bendigo two

SEEING DOUBLE: Win, left, and Jenny. weeks before the wedding and it fitted perfectly,â&#x20AC;? Win said.

Thirty-nine years later, Win and Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Jenny became engaged and set her wedding date for March 5, 1994.

Jenny said she went to only one bridal shop: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I walked in and took a look around and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my goodnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and walked out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remembered mum still had her wedding dress

wrapped in flannelette and packed away in a suitcase, home on the farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had really only seen it in photos, apart from a couple of airings for parades Mavis ran, it never left the suitcase,â&#x20AC;? Jenny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I opened the suitcase to see how the dress had fared after all those years and found it was still in beautiful condition and it fitted well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took it back to Ma-

vis who aired and fluffed it up and it was good as new. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was lovely to have Mavis at the wedding to once again organise the dress for a second trip down the aisle,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The dress is now back in the suitcase and Jenny is not sure if her own daughter will choose to wear it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it will be there if she does.

Mall is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;safe placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S top policeman believes negative media coverage is leading to the perception Bendigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hargreaves Mall is unsafe.

Inspector Wayne Barclay backed Sergeant Tony Commadeurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent comments on www.bendigoweekly.com.au that the mall was a safe place to be and was as safe as at any time in its recent history.

Insp. Barclay said Bendigo police had rated well in the latest police survey, with a 94.5 per cent customer satisfaction rate, which was the third highest in the state, and a significant reduction in crime of 13.2 per cent.

However, Insp. Barclay said the Police Service Area of Bendigo rated only 71 per cent for the perception of safety and satisfaction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are reading negative material, only

hearing the negative,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are reading this and they think it is a real problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a responsibility to the community as I believe the media do, and what I would prefer to see is a balance in the stories or articles conveyed to the reader.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are reading this and they think it is a real problemâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This includes putting things into the correct context, to put it in the here and now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My role is not to sell nor interfere in the selling of newspapers, but more to communicate with the community in the provision of information that is accurate and relevant.â&#x20AC;?

Insp. Barclay said

Bendigo to mirror the reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want Bendigo to be the number one attraction, number one in economic growth and number one in the perception of safety,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are well on track in achieving these things and I would like to think the service we provide in and to our community is of the highest quality.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Insp. Barclay has been a member of Victoria Police for 36 years with experience in general duties policing, task force policing, crime investigation, industrial relations and other specialised areas.

He recently transferred to Bendigo from the Victoria Police Force Response Unit where he headed 200 highly-trained members in critical incident response, hostage siege negotiation, riot response and suicide intervention.

ROAD WORKS: Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan with councillor Bruce Phillips.

By ANTHONY RADFORD

Labor had a proud history of providing funding

MEMBER for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan has called on the State Government to commit funds to prepare for the next stage of works on the Calder Freeway at Ravenswood.

Ms Allan made the funding call in the Victorian Parliament and asked the government to match Labor’s commitment to fund the next stage of Calder works.

“In government, Labor had a proud history of providing funding for each stage of the Calder works and we worked with the Federal Labor Member, Steve Gibbons, to push the then-Federal Liberal-National Government to match the Calder funds,” she said.

“As a result of Labor funding and Labor campaigning, the Calder is now a duplicated road between Bendigo and Melbourne. It is a much safer and quicker drive which is good for residents, businesses

and tourism.”

“Last November Labor pledged $7 million to progress the necessary planning work for the Ravenswood interchange. This $7 million of funding would have seen the planning done and the project ready to go and ready to receive future federal and state funding support.”

Ms Allan told Parliament that the Ravenswood interchange was important because it was a vital link for freight, business, commuters and tourists between Melbourne, Bendigo and Mildura as the interchange point on

Princess Cruises

®

the Calder Freeway on the outskirts of Bendigo. She said improvements to the interchange would have significant benefits for communities and industries.

“The now Minister for Roads said that Vic Roads had the capacity to do the planning, irrespective of who was in government,” she said.

“If this is the case then there is no reason why the government cannot move to immediately match Labor’s commitment and direct Vic Roads to undertake this necessary planning work.”

At the 2007 federal election, the then-Liberal government promised $30 million for the interchange. The then-Labor State Government added the project to its list for preferred Federal Government funding, but it missed out.

Under the current federal plan, the Calder Alternate interchange cannot be funded until at least 2014.

Bendigo’s top local school ranked fourth in the overall national tally this year, collecting $2000 for its efforts.

Golden Square Principal, Barry Goode, said the program created a lot of excitement around the school, and that community support for the program was strong and involved a combined effort from both campuses.

At this stage both campuses run a fresh fruit program for the junior students. ‘’This money will give us the opportunity to extend the program to the higher grades and run it for longer,” Mr Goode said.

Re: Proper Process for Car Park Special Meeting I WOULD like to respond to the many media reports that have resulted from Cr Peter Cox walking out of a special meeting of council on Monday, June 27.

Cr Cox has claimed that considering the new Edward Street carpark project at a special meeting of council is not good governance. However that is only his opinion and not the facts.

It must be remembered that a special meeting is only a meeting that is held outside the normal meeting cycle.

The Local Government Act states that the mayor may, by written notice, call a special meeting of the council. The notice must specify the date and time of the special meeting and the business to be discussed.

After discussion with council at an informal meeting I called the special meeting so that council could consider a gaming machine application for the Bendigo Stadium and the contract for the construction of the Edward Street multi-storey carpark and other matters associated with the carpark.

I stress that the proper process was followed to call the meeting and it was publicly advertised in the Bendigo Advertiser on two successive Saturdays which was more than is required by the act. It was a legally constituted meeting and all councillors in attendance had an obligation to consider and vote on the items that were listed on the agenda.

If any councillor had concerns about the process of holding the special meeting it could have been raised as part of the debate or a motion could have been moved to defer the item to a future council meeting.

It is not acceptable for a councillor to leave a meeting unless for reasons such as health or conflict of interest and Cr Cox was happy to take part in the discussions about the gaming machine application.

It must be understood that special meetings can be held when there are time constraints, as was the case with the gaming machine application or to expedite signifi-

cant projects, as was the case with the multi-storey carpark development.

Councillors have had extensive briefings, over many months, on this project and it is unfortunate that the reputation of council has been damaged by its inability to make a decision at the special council meeting, as a result of Cr Cox walking out of the meeting.

Cr Rod Fyffe, Mayor

Guess who’s moved?

WHILE I defend the right for Peter Kennedy to believe and write what he wants to about gay marriage (“Time to act on gay marriage”, Bendigo Weekly, June 24) I cannot let some of his arguments pass without being challenged.

First, he asserts that Jesus “would support the right of gay couples to be married”.

It’s interesting how Jesus is used in just about every cause you care to name, even this one, but what he did say (Matthew 19:4-6) was that he upheld the common and widely accepted understanding of marriage as being between a man and a woman which was and is taught by Genesis 2:18-25.

It is true to say that Jesus was a man of compassion and a friend of sinners, but in no way did he ever condone sinful practices.

And while He never taught that homosexuality is any worse sin than that of pride or theft or anything else, this cannot be taken to suggest that he held to views other than those standards set down by God throughout the Old Testament, that were repeated and endorsed by his own apostles in the New Testament.

In the light of this, Peter’s claim is completely unfounded.

Further, Peter’s reliance on a cursory glance at Google shows ignorance both about what the Bible actually says and what people want it to say.

Forget Google, check the Bible out and let it speak for itself.

A plain and simple reading of every reference to marriage from Genesis to Revelation will show that the Bible is consistent.

It knows nothing of, nor ap-

proves of, same-sex marriages in any way whatsoever.

Believe and write what you want Peter, but don’t try to imply that somehow your new-found opinion has God’s approval.

It’s you who has changed your mind. God hasn’t moved an inch.

Rev. Philip Burns, St John’s Presbyterian Church, Flora Hill

I said you were a man of conviction and your word and would get the job done whatever it may be.

want to invest in the linen service, which will mean more than 45 people will be out of work.

This means that the $2 million a year in wages will not go back into the Bendigo economy.

The linen service supplies Bendigo Health and its nursing homes but it also supplies customers throughout the Loddon Mallee Region and as far north as Swan Hill.

There are no private sector providers in this area and the major suppliers are based in Melbourne.

If this service is closed it will impact the ability of all the hospitals currently being supplied to continue to provide the same level of service delivery.

An investment of between $13 and $16 million by the Department of Health will retain the linen service in the Bendigo area and provide certainty of a linen supply and service delivery for future decades.

Wayne Adamson, Bendigo

A matter of human rights I WRITE to congratulate Peter Kennedy on his refreshingly humane and personally honest opinion piece on the issue of gay marriage, more precisely and importantly known as marriage equality.

Peter is absolutely correct in urging an end to shameful and in-

supportable discrimination against same-sex couples.

The best thing about having a mind is the ability to be able to change it, despite entrenched religious bigotry.

Legislation for marriage equality within our deliberately secular democracy, does not, and should not, depend on approval from any religious group or body – it is, simply, a matter of basic human rights.

Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Common sense prevails COUNCILLOR Cox has demonstrated that he has common sense and guts.

To waste 16 million ratepayers’ dollars on a carpark is nothing short of criminal.

This city has many other more important issues to be resolved.

After all, the existing multi-storey carpark on the corner of Hargreaves and Williamson Streets is never full.

It is time this City’s ratepayers realised how much money is wasted by this council.

Some of the councillors seem to think that spending large amounts of money equals good leadership.

Disaster in delay WHAT happened at Monday night’s City of Greater Bendigo council meeting was – just like the controversial project it was due to debate – a crisis on many levels.

Firstly, and obviously, internally, Eaglehawk Ward councillor Peter Cox’s decision to walk out of the meeting before a vote on the car park tender did more than throw the $15 million project into turmoil.

The car park is the centrepiece of the council’s $162 million budget, and $57.9 million capital works program for the next financial year.

Council had not even formally voted on the budget, yet suddenly it was in real trouble due to the unprecedented circumstances that unfolded at Monday night’s dramatic meeting.

Everything is linked to the car park, including the 5.9 per cent rate rise.

Also internally, the result of the meeting throws another challenge at council. How does it deal with Cr Cox’s current actions, and what he might do next?

PK with

Peter Kennedy

Bendigoweekly

Editorial Comment While councillors have to vote, under the Local Government Act there is no sanction for not doing so.

Council can throw Cr Cox out if he were to miss four meetings without permission, but there is no suggestion of that occurring.

There can be mediation and, if Cr Cox’s actions are deemed bad enough by council, it can suspend him for two months. This is also unlikely.

Thirdly, this turns the car park debate around almost 180 degrees. For the past decade, the community has pushed council for a new car park.

Delays, poor management and

a lack of conviction by councillors in the past have seen no action, and the city’s drivers and traders have suffered.

The proposed multi-storey car park’s fate will be determined by just five councillors, and as Cr Cox demonstrated on Monday, it cannot be determined by four. It will be interesting to see what happens next.

There is no doubt Cr Cox’s actions left a bitter taste in the mouths of many of his fellow councillors, but there has been an incredible level of support for the Eaglehawk ward councillor in comments posted at www.bendigoweekly.com.au since the events of Monday. For his part, Cr Cox says good governance must always come before any issue.

One thing that cannot be denied though is that the City of Greater Bendigo’s single biggest capital works project took a major hit on Monday night, and any further delays or drama would be disastrous for a project already more than five years overdue.

Marriage equality a hot topic marriages, I should also clarify that this was something I had been thinking about internally for some time…. that episode of Q&A just proved to be the tipping point.

A further challenge I would put to any parent or grandparent this week is to stop and consider, if you had a gay child or grandchild who wanted to be married, would you support them in their quest?

I have been overwhelmed at the response to last week’s

few years. As someone blessed with a wonderful, loving (and very wise) wife and family, I can understand and appreciate how and why anyone would want exactly the same thing for themselves and their partner.

And I cannot see what harm it would cause for the rest of society if gay couples were afforded the right to be married, but I remain willing to listen.

One former Bendigo resident told me she left this city some time ago after many years of feeling depressed and suffering severe self-esteem issues because she felt like an outcast. Her supposed crime… she is gay and wants to one day be able to marry the partner she has been with for the past

last week’s, I hoped to at least prompt some readers to think about their own views on this topic, and consider whether or not it was time for greater acceptance and support of the gay community.

Judging by the amount of letters and comments I have received, I am satisfied to have achieved that goal.

LAST week’s column on the subject of gay marriage, or more precisely, equality in marriage, generated more feedback and debate from readers than any other I have written for many years.

And that’s a good thing.

It’s the job of a columnist to provoke a response and to stimulate a shared conversation about a particular topic, no matter how right or wrong some might think it to be.

One particular sticking point with many readers was my stated belief that were Jesus to walk the face of the earth today, I reckoned he would support gay marriage. I cannot fathom a God so compassionate, so loving, so caring or who had such empathy and tolerance behaving in any other manner.

I have read every letter and comment left on our website several times over, and whilst clearly, many respondents do not share my beliefs, I nonetheless respect their right to their opinions, and thank them for their contributions.

And whilst I attributed a particularly excellent episode of the ABC’s Q&A for leading me to change my mind on the controversial subject of gay

BENDIGO is strongly positioned to forge partnerships with Chinese education and culture institutions following the opening of the Confucius Classroom at Bendigo Senior Secondary Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Language Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This enables us to promote language learning from primary through to tertiary studies,â&#x20AC;? BSSC assistant principal Linda Lyons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will also provide opportunities to work with the Chinese Association to promote Bendigo as an attractive destination to learn about Chinese culture.â&#x20AC;?

The Language Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Confucius Classroom is equipped with state-ofthe-art touch-screen technology, and staff are working to develop language programs that will put Bendigo at the forefront of innovation.

TOP CLASS: Teacher Christina Xie, with students Oaklee Bester, Rosa Man, Audrey Stewart-Peterson, Shelby Rosedale, Brianna Murphy and Michelle Kong, and coordinator June Featherstone.

Coordinator June Featherstone began talks this week with principal of neighbouring Camp Hill Primary Leonie Roberts about how students could use the facility even before they reached secondary school.

The centre will also enable school and community interaction to promote language development and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;improve intercultural understanding and build competency in Asia literacyâ&#x20AC;?.

The Confucius Classroom is only the fourth to open in Victoria. It re-

ceives assistance from the Chinese government, which has set up similar classrooms across the world, including the United States and Canada.

Ms Lyons said the Language Centre will become a â&#x20AC;&#x153;learning communityâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We run an Indigenous homework centre here, and also an ESL (English as a second language) support program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also offering community classes on the weekend, based on the interest we get.â&#x20AC;?

Gillard heads out of bounds Following a lacklustre poll, is Julia set for a fall or a resurgence?

IS this the final siren sounding on Julia Gillardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career?

In footballing terms, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like Leigh Matthews in 1999 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inherited a team on the slide.

And while â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lethalâ&#x20AC;? took the Brisbane Lions from the bottom of the ladder to the finals in his first season in charge, Gillardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mob continues to descend into the nether regions of public approval.

If a recent poll is correct, Julia Gillard is in more trouble than Ricky Nixon, as it appears more Australians would now prefer Tony Abbott as prime minister.

In footy parlance, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game changer.

Mainly because up until now, the biggest ace up Juliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleeve had been, strangely, Tony Abbott.

Over the past year in office, Julia has suffered from the opposite of the midas touch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everything she touches turns to sh*t.

But despite the much maligned policies and her apparent lack of warmth, her one saving grace was her closest rival, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Monkâ&#x20AC;?.

Historically, Tony Abbott has been the politically incorrect â&#x20AC;&#x153;go toâ&#x20AC;? man. The kind of hot-headed, down and dirty, head-kicking coach whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more likely to

BEN CAMERON ON LIFE

read the Local Phonebook than How To Win Friends And Influence People, but very effective in rolling up the sleeves and telling people exactly how it is.

Leading Teams would welcome him with open arms.

But now it seems heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice.

By default really, which raises the point: if only we had more credible political parties to vote for â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really only two, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly a choice.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pity political parties arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like football clubs, which more closely represent our beliefs.

Imagine it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have the Australian Communist Party (running around parliament in a predominantly red strip) taking on (but probably privately sympathising with) the Young Idealist Front, while the Australian Seniors Party had a well-earned breather on the backbench.

But instead, we have the traditional derby between the spending friend of the working man Labor Party, and the thrifty friend of the chief executive officer Liberal

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pity political parties arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like football clubs Party.

So with Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-time sharp-shooter suffering the yips, and an election coming (at the latest) in 2013, can Julia bounce back?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a chance.

Like politics, football history is littered with comebacks, varying from the triumphant to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knock your ar*e on the way out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; againâ&#x20AC;? variety.

They can be inspired or insipid; laughable or laudable.

So time will tell if the PMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return is more Timmy Watson 1993, than Plugger Lockett 2002.

But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticked a couple of boxes so far, and seems to have structured up effectively.

How? Well to make a comeback, you have to make a stand. You have to make a statement of intent. And while most coaches invest

in youth, Gillard has put her faith in a carbon tax.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a return to an awkwardly familiar game plan, and she initially lied about it of course, but this is politics, not a court of law.

If we were to charge politicians with deceit, the courts would be too clogged up to try the rest of us.

And going by Tony Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 handbook to honesty, her pledge not to

have a carbon tax under her leadership wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t written down on a piece of paper, so sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the clear there.

The carbon tax just might prove to be the shot in the arm, not the head-high bump, her career needs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven to be very unpopular, but like steamed vegies, or the smell of Deep Heat, what can initially turn your nose up, can eventually be good for you.

Everybody criticised Paul Roosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; steeldrum gameplan, but the Swans won the premiership in 2005 and he went from â&#x20AC;&#x153;butcherâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ornament ofâ&#x20AC;? the game, in just two and a half hours.

The carbon tax could be the final nail in Juliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffin, it could be her saving grace.

But as supercoach of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s John Kennedy once said, the government must â&#x20AC;&#x153;do somethingâ&#x20AC;?.

MOVING UP: Proud owner Benjamin Odgers with Daphne (left) and Annie at 262 High Street. ter, continued her piano studies and in 1910, to qualify from the Royal Academy of Music. A photograph of her appeared in The Bendigonian newspaper.

Annie Odgers was an extraordinary dressmaker. Even though the sight in one of her eyes was deteriorating she continued with this work.

In early May, 1911 Ben had been working in the garden and caught a severe cold.

This developed into something more serious. When his nurse announced that he had passed away, on May 13,

Annie fainted.

In her fall she hit her head which damaged her good eye, so she subsequently had very limited vision.

Daphne May Odgers had been courting Frederick Theodore Hocking, but because of the recent tragic events, their marriage was delayed until August 12, 1912.

The Reverend Woodford, of the Forest Street Methodist Church conducted the nuptials at the High Street home.

Daphne and Frederick Hocking continued to live in this house.

For the next 19 years

she cared for her mother, while raising her own four children.

Odgers had invested the remainder of his money at the Union Bank, the interest from which was a boost to the family income on an annual basis.

The four children from the marriage were Benodgers Hocking, Daphne Mavis, Frederick Ivan and Norma.

The above photograph shows what was 262 High Street. Note the way in which the decorative details have been picked out in different colours.

Melbourne.

His arrival back in Australia was even reported in The Launceston Examiner.

Benjamin Odgers applied for and received a Victorian Mine Managersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Certificate in March 1908, perhaps intending to apply for a position at one of the local mines.

In the meantime he decided it was time for his wife Annie and daughter Daphne to move from their cottage in Long Gully.

A house at 262 High Street was what appealed to Ben. It was then just over 10 years old, spacious and lofty, with the Golden Square tram running by the front door.

This house was a fine example of Bendigo architect William Beebeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work.

The house was located where the left-hand side of the Beechworth Bakery is standing today.

During 1909 the family moved and Ben busied himself in the garden.

Unfortunately he was not to enjoy a more leisured lifestyle for long.

AFTER being given six months leave of absence, mine manager Benjamin Odgers went back to the Malay States to continue his captaincy of the Bersawah Gold Mining Company.

During the five months spent in Bendigo, Odgers had the opportunity to attend to his investments in the shares he held.

Fortunately there were good dividends coming in as well which helped to bolster his nest egg.

Some weeks ago we showed a photograph of Ben Odgers and a 226 ounce gold ingot from the mine he was in charge of.

This photograph was taken almost a year after his return to the Malay States.

The mine continued to produce, however there were problems with the finances of the Bersawah Company.

As it was not in a position to do further development, Odgers made the decision to return home permanently.

On May 31, 1907 on board the Burns Phillip and Company steamer, Guthrie, Ben arrived in Brisbane, catching another steamer to come on to

Mentor at hand MENTORING is having a bit of a resurgence.

You often hear in the news of cultural, sporting or professional development programs, where ‘profile’ mentors are enlisted to give folk opportunities which otherwise wouldn’t come a-knocking…

Here’s another definition of mentoring I found that I like: “A mentor is an individual, usually older, always more experienced, who helps and guides another individual’s development. This guidance is not done for personal gain”. (About.com) The key is at the end: mentoring is a shared relationship where an exchange occurs. It’s not simply ‘teaching’ or a oneway street, where one imparts information to another.

The ‘x-factor’ is experience.

Mentoring requires someone to share not just what they have learned within a particular field; it asks them to give the context in which they learned it.

Mistakes and secrets. That kind of knowledge – giving someone the benefit of experience – is liquid gold.

It gives people insight and thus, a chance to evolve.

And the mentee too shares new perspectives with the mentor.

The ‘old dog’ gets to learn new tricks!

I was really happy to hear about the Next On Now “young artists mentoring program”,

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 1, 2011

“A mentor is a brain to pick, an ear to listen to and a push in the right direction” – John C. Crosby

by megan spencer

which aims to assist 30 artists in our region, aged 17 to 25.

Krista Horbatiuk is the coordinator of the project, funded by the Australia Council and other arts agencies, via local arts incubator, Punctum.

A Castlemaine transplant (via Sydney and Canada), Krista has kept her ear to the ground, discovering the needs of local emerging artists,

Each project will take around three months studying at BRIT, BSSC and La Trobe Uni, and/or beyond.

The aim is to develop a comprehensive mentoring program pairing 5 practising artists (in their 20s), with 30 young artists, then produce 10 distinct projects.

Alice Pickles, Krista Harbatiuk, Emily Boehm and Emily Richards-Jones.

This will culminate in a weekend-long festival and exhibition called Art Blast, February 25 to 26, 2012. The plan is (fingers crossed) for it to occupy Bendigo’s Beehive Mining Exchange, above Allan’s Walk.

My head’s buzzing already with possibilities…

The idea is for artists to create work in each room under the guidance of a mentor.

“Each project will take around three months to develop, with around 40 hours of mentorship involved,” Krista tells me.

“Young artists – let alone young regional artists – don’t always get professional practise opportunities.

“Next On Now and Art Blast is an opportunity to get a public presentation and learn from

professionals who practise all the time. You don’t always get that in school.”

Krista is also offering further networking opportunities to the participating artists through Punctum’s evolving network of regional artists.

While most of the mentors are confirmed – including exBSSC graduate Brett Ludemman – so far only three young Bendigo artists have signed on.

“Everything!” Krista beams at me when I ask what kind of artists are eligible to apply.

“Performance, visual arts, music, sound art, multimedia, writing – we want to get them involved in all aspects of the production too, not just the work.”

A blog is being set up for

artists to contribute to, and more male mentors are being sought.

While I’ve always valued the idea of mentoring – and have mentored plenty of times myself – it’s an opportunity that ultimately eluded me when I was ‘coming up’. One that might have saved me some hard yards, had I found the right person.

Next On Now sounds like a pretty good deal to me. One you’d have to fight tooth and nail for, if you lived in the city..

Next information session and workshop for Next On Now: Thursday 18 August, 5pm, Old Fire Station on View Street.

Contact Krista on 0401 167 756 or krista@punctum.com. au.

Maldon marvels

pick of CLUB the week BOOK

BendigoWeekly

The Hard Light of Day Rod Moss UQP, $39.95

NEXT week is the announcement of the 2011 Prime Ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Literary Awards, with prizes going to fiction, non-fiction, young adult fiction and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiction.

Rod Mossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intriguing The Hard Light of Day is one of five non-fiction titles up for the $80,000 prize and it would be a wonderful choice.

Moss is a painter. Out of step with his society as he grew up in Melbourne, he eventually went as far away from the busy edges of Australia as he could â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to Alice Springs, where he taught.

When he met Xavier and Petrina Neil, who were living rough outside the fence of the neat, white, housing estate where Moss was living, he found his place.

For more than 25 years, he has built friendships with the Arrernte people, some of the most desperate people living in Australia today. Their mortality rate is terrible, and violence, illness and alcoholism dominate. And yet, amongst these people, Moss finds a way of thinking that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only attract him as an interested outsider. He yearns to be part of it.

We needed this book, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret reading it, even if it leaves you feeling puzzled, horrified and somehow chastened. Mossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork is not trendy, but there are a few canny collectors and galleries that realise how important this work may well become.

And you get to walk with Moss and his friends to places that are the heart of this big country. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rosemary Sorensen MEET THE AUTHOR: Chris Kennett will be at Stonemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bookroom in Castlemaine tomorrow (July 2) at 11am, to read from his Alpha Monsters picture book. Good chance to pick up a signed copy.

AND DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T FORGETâ&#x20AC;ŚPhilosophy in the Library has Dr Damon Young from the University of Melbourne talking on Monday (July 4) at 5.30pm. Next Friday (July 8), Shane Moloney, creator of Melbourne sleuthby-accident Murray Whelan, will be at the Bendigo Library from 5.30pm. Book for both on 5449 2781.

THE locals have the advantage over the rest of us, when Maldonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bi-annual food and wine festival rolls around once more.

Clutching their souvenir tasting glass, they can wander from stall to stall, sampling a warming shiraz here, a lusty cabernet there, dribbling sauce on a sausage along the way, with nary a thought about who is set the task of driving home.

There have been locals known to take quite a while to wend their way up the hills of the pretty Maldon town following a long, slow, luscious Taste of Gold festival event in recent years.

This Sunday is the winter version, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beanies and scarves as a must.

Richard Goldsworthy, who has lived just outside Maldon for a few years, and has been happily roped in, like so many of the locals, to help out at festival time, says they are trying to make this an event that is a perfect introduction to the town, not just for foodies but for families looking for a fine day out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main street is shut off, and that gives people the freedom to walk around without being run down by a passing semi,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are taking what we think of as a more holistic approach, trying to coordinate all the tasting events with everything else on offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge is to be different from other food and wine festivals.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Goldsworthy and his wife are blow-ins to Maldon, retiring there after working for decades on the Gold Coast.

What they love about the town and its festival is how acces-

sible it is, and easy to get around.

It has also given them an opportunity to learn about winemaking from the ground up, helping out at nearby Chappleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cairn Curran Estate vineyard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting pastime,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;learning about the winemaking process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not big on all that swill and sniff stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was a rugby player so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something wrong with my nose â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do even better at the festival this year.â&#x20AC;?

As for the food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything from yabbies to meringues, and that pioneering Maldon Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cooking Club will be there again, this time going straight for the jugular with solid winter fare â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pies and soup.

Maldon and Beyond Food and Wine Festival runs from 11am to 4pm this Sunday.

Food fossickers is your first-stop for all things delicious and healthy in Bendigo and its region. Members include The Good Loaf Bakery and Cafe, B&B Basil, Erindale Farm and Bendigo Whole Foods.

Events coming up: Bendigo Festival of Lamb, part of the 134th Australian Sheep and Wool Show, July 16-18. Five Bendigo chefs will team with lamb producers to create signature dishes: chefs include Brent Slade from the Whirrakee Restaurant, Janine Clifton from Mt Edgecombe Hotel and Scott Hopkin from The Wine Bank on View.

Food fossickers online this week includes Vicki Harringtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe for lamb shank and vegetable soup: www. bendigoweekly. com.au/foodfossickers/

ENTERTAINED

POSITIVE VIBES BEN CAMERON LOCATION, talent, vibe and atmosphere.

A memorable music event can’t be that, memorable, without these four important qualities.

Luckily on Saturday, the fourth (and undoubtedly most important) Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival fundraiser at Gold Mines Hotel on Marong Road, all four key ingredients combined to make a massive statement about where this budding festival, and the Bendigo live music scene, is heading.

With an eager crowd, ranging from toddlers to an old rocker in her 80s, it can only be to a good place.

If you were at Gold Mines on Saturday afternoon and early evening, you’d know it was all pretty important on a number of

levels: not just for the city’s precious musicians and all-weather supporters, but the overall Bendigo music scene.

It also proved if you can recruit the right amount of talent, stir enough interest in the public, and put it all in the right spot, magic things can happen.

Saturday’s event has come at just the right time too.

Until recent years, a general malaise for live original music had become chronic.

But against the tide, through important festivals like Gigfest, the work of businesses like Rock Pride Music, an important pocket of never say die punters, a bunch of committed to the cause musicians and a few local movers and shakers, there has indeed been a rebirth.

OH MERCY ME...

BEN CAMERON With enough talent and hardwork, sometimes you make your own luck.

F o r that reason, Oh M e r c y ’s Alexander Gow has been deservedly fortunate.

From his Fitzroy home, which he shares with members of The Panics, Gow talks modestly about the success Oh Mercy has enjoyed in recent times, as if the delicately effective voice and undoubted talent for writing emotive and tight pop tunes, were a secondary issue.

“Triple J are solely responsible for Oh Mercy having a career,” he says of the national broadcaster.

“They picked us up from the start and supported us and taken our music national, and given us the mandate to drive around the country and play.”

Like many Australian gems, Oh Mercy were unearthed by the station back in 2007, and given a massive free kick: an opening slot at the Big Day Out. “It was our ninth gig so it was pretty far out,” he recalls.

“We played pretty awful, I remember being really nervous and shocked.

sight I bet it would have sounded pathetic.

“But it was good enough to cheekily get through.

“Since then we’ve had constant support from them.”

A few years later, with debut LP Privileged Woes in the can, Oh Mercy won the Red Bull Award for Outstanding Potential at the Australian Music Prize.

The $15,000 windfall allowed them to fund “a whole chunk” of Great Barrier Grief, produced by American Mitchell Froom (Pearl Jam, Elvis Costello and Sheryl Crow). All of which makes Gow feel the story of Oh Mercy so far, has been an “incredibly lucky” tale.

The LP was also nominated for a J Award for Album of the Year, and the band toured with Crowded House.

“I consider myself to be in one of the luckiest bands in the country,” Gow says.

“We worked really hard as well, but for things to fall into our lap...I definitely feel very privileged.”

Gow lays it all on the line about what Oh Mercy is all about– we’re unsure if Gow is a religious man, but we learn he worships his own holy trio: The Go Betweens, The Triffids and Paul Kelly.

“That’s like my holy trinity of music,” he says.

“They’ve had the greatest influence on me, I don’t shy away from that.”

Gow is drawn to their honesty.

“It’s the integrity in the way they approach their music,” he says.

“It’s an approach that’s sincere and lacks pretence. It doesn’t put all the cards on the table at once, it’s quite understated and proud as well.

“At the core of it, it’s really good song craft at the hear of it, that I’ve tried to take on, or taken on natural I guess.”

It’s been reported in one section of the online press Gow should be applauded for the anecdotal integrity he brings to his folk tunes, despite lacking the miles on the clock.

He doesn’t agree.

“I don’t think age and experience instantly equates to insight,” he said.

“You can be young and insightful and tap into wordly themes.

“It helps having experience, being in your 40s and being married and divorced and having kids and this and that.

“But in terms of ammunition of writing a song, I think anybody who is clever enough, doesn’t have to go through that just to write about it.”

In saying that, Great Barrier Grief is a more personal reflection, or a breathing of life into his tales of “young, middle class white boys”, with opening track, “Stay Please Stay” a stand out.

“With this recent album I concentrated on writing things that I’ve experienced,” he says.

“I was writing about my young man woes, which are really simple, songs about girls and things like that.

“But I look forward to writing about the unknown as well.”

Although GBG contains songs like “On The Run” which has the lyric “I love my kids, but I hate my wife”, which perhaps peer into a possible future life.

“Writing a good song is difficult, not many people can do it, not that I think I’ve done it either,” he says.

Gow is about to tour with Dan Sultan. The talented pair had bonded at the Sydney ARIAs over two very common loves of the typical Australian male: football and Paul Kelly.

“We had a chat and it turned out we both liked each other’s music and got along really well,” he says.

“We spoke about doing a show together because it would be really easy and really fun.

“And that show turned into a tour.”

It’s not quite the perfect marriage of talent however.

“I follow Collingwood and he follows St Kilda,” Gow laughs, who lives across the road from the Rose Hotel in Collingwood, a popular haunt for football nuts.

“It’s not a match made in heaven, but we got past that.”

Gow probably aspires to enjoy the kind of praise his beloved Pies now enjoy.

“I think we’re the only club going around that has been praised for a loss,” he says.

“You know you’re doing well when you get that kind of feedback.”

CLOSURE IN MOSCOW

HERE TO STAY Lachlan and Hamish Davidson BEN CAMERON BENDIGO Bluegrass maestros, The Davidson Brothers, are pretty tight. Across fiddle strings and blood lines.

Their latest album, the Nashville recorded and independently funded Here To Stay, continues that bond, of tune and blood.

“With each record, our connection as brothers grows stronger and we find it easier to write together and sing harmonies for each other,” Hamish Davidson says.

“As people who know us both will attest, Lachlan and I have very different personalities.

“When we are writing together, our minds tend to polarise toward different tasks.

“Lachlan writes more with the right, the creative intuitive side of his brain and I tend to favour the left, the logical and methodical.”

Wherever the inspiration came from, their latest album, their seventh, was as intense as they come.

After arriving in Los Angeles on April 22, they performed at the famous Kibitz Room in Canter’s Deli in Hollywood.

It was a madcap start to the trip.

“The punters were taking the clothes off before the gig even started. Crazy town,” Hamish laughs.

The boys then flew to Nashville for a production meeting, before 11 songs were hammered out on the following Tuesday, for the new record.

“We flew home on the Friday night,” he says.

“Six days in the USA. Four days in the studio.

“We were living on an average of two to three hours’ sleep a night.

“Lachlan and I got separated on our last night in town and let’s just say, we were very late getting to the studio that morning.

“The police even rocked up at the studio one day because we were playing too fast.”

Here To Stay is about growing change.

“Primarily, there have been lots of changes in the music industry in recent years which have had an adverse effect on countless musical artists,” he says.

“However, independent artists like ourselves continue to grow at a steady pace.

“This is our seventh recording project... we have no intentions of slowing down.”

While it explores a range of lyrical themes, it’s still the Davo Bros doing what they do best: Bluegrass.

Recorded at Sidekick Sound Studios in Nashville, Hamish hopes the record will symbolise their growth as performers.

“I think people will notice that we are maturing as songwriters and musicians,” he says.

“Part of my right forearm actually went numb when we were recording a 180 beat per minute banjo instrumental titled ‘OMFG’, so they’d better notice the energy we put into the project!

“We are definitely getting more relaxed with each record.

“Some of the new ma-

Win

terial was more difficult to play and sing than the repertoire on previous records.

I believe this is a result of the music being written around the lyrics rather than the other way around.”

They worked with producer Mark Thornton, who played guitar in Jerry Reed’s band, and Larry Marrs.

Thornton has recorded over 150 albums for various artists, but often says “Nobody has more fun than the Davidson Brothers.”

Marrs on the other hand, has 35 years of experience, including tours with Randy Travis and Willie Nelson, and has sung on George Jones’ legendary Cold Hard Truth album.

The brothers go full tilt, having only just returned from a tour of The Netherlands and Germany while they also played a concert in Perth over the weekend with the Sunny Cowgirls, which was filmed and will be released on DVD. Here To Stay is released today, and Davo Bros fans can get their hands on the album at www.davidsonbrothersband.com Their official CD launch is also today at The Shamrock and you can buy tickets at the Bendigo Weekly offices, 172 McIvor Road.

JAKE SCHATZ SINCE taking the world by storm with their 2009 debut LP First Temple, Australia’s finest melodic rock flagflyers Closure In Moscow have been a little quiet– something that could never last too long for such a hardhitting five-piece.

A little over a year on from their last Australian headlining tour, the boys are back and they are coming right here to Bendigo as part of a massive six-band show put on by the lovely people at FReeZA. Their progressive brand of melodic rock has been compared to the likes of The Mars Volta, Circa Survive and Chiodos and an opportunity to see them rock the BRIT Hall in Ben-

the continuing story of the Phantom of the Opera, and the most spectacular theatre production Australia has seen, reveals what happened to the Phantom after he escaped from the wrath of the Paris mob. Ten years after his disappearance he has found a place amongst the screaming joy rides and freak-shows of New York’s Coney Island. All that is missing is his love - Christine…

digo is not something that should be missed by any music fan.

Closure’s fellow Melbournians Dream On, Dreamer will be taking the main support slot, getting their performance fix before their debut LP Heartbound drops early next month.

The band are a few notches heavier than Closure, but share the complexity and drive, and wreak absolute havoc on stage.

Gold Coast rockers Awaken I Am are coming along for the show too and are thrilled to be playing with Closure in Moscow, as they are a key influence.

Ballarat metal manics Ennui Breathes Malice are the heaviest band on the bill and are guaranteed to

give metalheads their fix, whilst probably scaring off most young children in the venue’s vicinity.

Bendigo pop punk favourites Oh Pacific and metalcore six-piece We, The Dreams get the nod for well deserved local support slots and round off an electrifying bill.

Closure In Moscow w/ Dream On, Dreamer (Melb), Awaken I Am (Gold Coast), Ennui Breathes Malice (Ballarat), Oh Pacific (Bendigo) and We, The Dreams (Bendigo).

6pm, McGillivray Hall BRIT. Tickets $15 from OzTix. com.au or at the door if not sold out.

Expect more coverage in coming weeks.

The boys will rock BRIT.

MOVIE REVIEW

BRIDESMAIDS ROBERT GIBSON THERE is a bonus scene just before the credits in the American comedy Bridesmaids that is so shockingly gross that I involuntarily mentally blocked it and had to be reminded later as to its content.

Like Quinten Tarantino and his use of over-the-top violence, some modern comedy experiments with the same shock value to achieve laughs.

The intrinsic comedy in Bridesmaids relies successfully on coarse situational comedy but also includes an engrossing storyline of the trials and tribulations of

two female friends.

The leads, played

by Kristen Wiig as Annie Walker and Maya Rudolph as Lillian Donovan, travel a rocky road as the latter prepares for her wedding.

Initially Annie is at Lillian’s side as the maid of honour and architect of all the pre-wedding planning required by the role.

However, her position as best friend is challenged by an interloper Helen (played by Rose Byrne).

Initially Annie and Helen vie for top dog position which sets the scene for some hysterical repartee.

Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig’s script is innovative. The fast-paced roller-coaster ride holds the audience’s attention for more than two hours without let up.

Walk on the wild side C OME along to the Ballarat Wildlife Park these holidays, open every day from 9am to 5.30pm for a hands-on experience with some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unique wildlife.

Kids will love feeding the 80 freeroaming kangaroos and emus and watching for the joeys emerging from their mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pouch.

The chance to get up close and pat a koala is often a highlight of a visit.

Those who prefer animals of action can see Gator, the giant saltwater crocodile or the Tasmanian Devils at feeding time.

The Reptile House has an extensive collection of some of the most venomous snakes in the world.

A special treat awaits visitors with the baby wombat Boo, now well out of the pouch and happily spending her days playing and snuggling up to mum, Coco and dad, Banjo.

During these school holidays, there is a free guided tour at 11am of the park, by one of the friendly animal keepers.

In the afternoons there are animal information shows with

The primary carer’s adjusted taxable income must be less than $150,000.

You can only claim the PPL or Baby Bonus, but not both for the same child with the initial claim for PPL made through Centrelink.

From today, in the majority of cases, Centrelink will make your PPL payments to your employer, who will then forward them onto you through their payroll system.

These payments are for 18 weeks at the national minimum wage which from today is $589.30 per week.

Some factors to consider when choosing between PPL or the Baby Bonus.

PPL payments are taxable where as Baby Bonus is not.

PPL payments may affect your entitlements to Family Tax Benefit and/or child care rebates.

Returning to work after the birth of the child may reduce the amount of PPL you are entitled to.

Careful consideration is required before choosing PPL or the Baby Bonus, as there may be significant financial differences between the two.

CYCLING

Cure for the blues

By BEN CAMERON

OLYMPIC cycling gold medallist and Bendigo racing identity Scott McGrory is playing his part in the resurgence of the Carlton Football Club.

Along with another local cycling champion, Zak Dempster, McGrory has helped place a renewed emphasis on cycling fitness at the former AFL powerhouse.

As an official cycling coach since the start of the 2010 pre-season, McGroryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycling intelligence has also aided the recovery of potentially the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important player, Matthew Kreuzer, as they strive for their 17th premiership.

Although McGrory was unable to complete the Bendigo to Bathurst charity ride late last year due to commentary commitments at the Commonwealth games, the ride greatly assisted the ruckmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery after a knee reconstruction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matt was the first one to require a bike,â&#x20AC;? McGrory said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good test, a lot of kilometres (770) in a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fitness he got in the bike work is pretty obvious (considering) how quickly he got back in the team.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked out very well.â&#x20AC;?

McGrory has also been impressed by the attitude of Andrew Walker and Michael Jamieson in particular, who have benefited from McGroryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite-level tutelage.

He said he was mindful of not making the mistakes of the Adelaide Crows, who enlisted the help of an AIS cycling coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Neil Craig) trained them like a cycling team but they were breaking down,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of soft tissue injuries, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been mindful of that.â&#x20AC;?

McGrory got the job through a series of meetings with high performance manager Justin Cordy, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong advocate of cyclingâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met up at the Sandhurst Club one day and we got talking about Carlton, fitness and cycling,â&#x20AC;? he said Over several months they spoke more about the benefits of cross-training in football, and Justin decided to get him involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The original connection was the pre-season before that, he asked if I could attend a training camp down at Sorrento,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was unavailable but I sent down two of my cycling

Bendigo Weekly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday, July 1, 2011

friends (Zak Dempster and Tom Southam) to help out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zak took an immediate interest, so after that they asked him to be involved (over summer). â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Cordy) has brought that eliteness to the fitness approach.â&#x20AC;?

Primarily dealing with rehabilitation, McGroryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time working with the Blues depends on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It varies. Depending on

BFL ROUND 11

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about being the best they can possibly be.â&#x20AC;? how many guys are doing rehab, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything from one to two sessions a week,â&#x20AC;? he said.

One of his first jobs was introducing cycling during last pre-season, meaning he had to order in 41 bikes for the team. Cordy has been impressed with McGroryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been rapt,â&#x20AC;? McGrory said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleased with the way the program is going, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re discussing how we can do even better next year.â&#x20AC;?

McGrory will continue to tweak the fitness structures over coming seasons,

and hopes to increase more road racing rather than just stationary bike work at Visy Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make too many radical changes straight away,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to slowly step it through.â&#x20AC;?

Carlton is a genuine premiership threat this year and McGrory said a hard-fought win against Sydney in the wet was an indicator of Carltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast improvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came in on their territory, in the worst possible conditions and that one was all about hardness, toughness

VETS SEEK HELP The Central Victorian Veterans Cycling Club committee needs help to run some of the many activities currently under way.

The CVVCC executive says it is struggling under a heavy workload and is hoping to involve people beyond the current committee to take on and be responsible for specific tasks.

Club president Murray Rankin said volunteers were needed to take on the roles of assistant secretary, weekly race reports organiser, race sponsors liaison and to help organise some essential maintenance and repairs to the Woodstock Hall.

Volunteer help is also sought to produce a monthly or more frequent email newsletter, and ultimately to arrange for the upload of information to the new website when it is up and running.

Mr Rankin said that unless the CVVCC can spread the workload, it risks burning out its office bearers. Anyone interested in keeping the CVVCC healthy and progressive and helping the committee is urged to contact Mr Rankin via email mrankin@ netspace.net.au

and fitness,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the game that impressed me. There is a change in the mindset of some of the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all got that attitude, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all trying to get that little extra bit out of themselves, and of course the team lifts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infectious, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come from Ratts (Brett Ratten) or from Justin Cordy, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone through the entire group. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about being the best they can possibly be.â&#x20AC;?

McGrory left for Fox Sports duties at the Tour de France on Tuesday.

A legendary Victorian icon, the RACV Great Vic is an experience like no other.

It truly is a week in another world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a world where strangers share tent pegs, shampoo and tea bags, colleagues encourage each other up hill climbs and lifelong friendships are formed while waiting for a shower or enjoying a postride feast.

Gaining insight into the depth and breadth of the flood damage and the needs of the community will no doubt make this a memorable ride for the many who have come from far and wide to enjoy our region.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ride, from Saturday, November 26 to Sunday, December 4, travels 590 kilometres over the nine days through flood-affected areas along the Murray River and beyond.

Beginning in Swan Hill on the banks of the mighty Murray, riders will travel in a loop through the sur-

UMPIRES FORUM The Bendigo Football Netball League has announced details for the BFNL Umpiring Excellence Program being run in conjunction with the BFNL Round 12 matches on Friday, July 8 at Bendigo Stadium. The program has been designed specifically for local umpires, and is a unique professional development opportunity for umpires aspiring to officiate at the upcoming finals series throughout local leagues and associations. As part of the evening all current umpires, umpires who have umpired finals in the past or would like to in the future are invited to attend the evening, which will be held at the Bendigo Stadium from 6.30pm to 9pm on Friday, July 8. RSVP to meaganjkeating@gmail. com for registration and further information by July 6.

Murray mission THIS year has been an amazing test of resolve for the northern country region of Victoria.

Flood waters devastated a large proportion of the productive farming land and small towns dotted along the Murray and adjoining inland water systems, and many businesses and farming communities have been suffering since.

Who could have predicted the importance of the 2011 RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride and the potential to make an injection of much needed funds and support to the region?

The 2011 RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride is an opportunity to explore Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Murray River region and parts of the Central Goldfields and to enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.

Fun, friendly and challenging, the RACV Great Vic provides riders with a fully-supported bike-riding and camping holiday.

Being in our own backyard and able to share our knowledge of the region with like-minded riders makes this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ride far more appealing.

It will be hard to comprehend that flood waters were as wide in kilometres as the distance riders will cover on these first few days.

On day four of the ride, participants will travel into Echuca and enjoy a rest day spent paddling in the river and enjoying the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gourmet fare.

The ride continues south through the undulating rises of the past-prosperous goldmining country and into Maryborough.

Finishing in picturesque Castlemaine, riders will cross the finishing line with new friends and memories to last a lifetime.

EAGLEHAWK takes on South Bendigo in what shapes as the Round 11 BFNL match of the day, at Canterbury Park on Saturday. In other matches, Kangaroo Flat hosts Maryborough at Dower Park, Castlemaine travels to Gardiner Reserve for the clash with a surging Gisborne, Kyneton plays Strathfieldsaye at the Showgrounds and Golden Square will look to continue on its winning ways when it meets Sandhurst at My Jet Oval.

BRAVES IN GOOD FORM THE Bendigo Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; solid form has continued with stunning success on last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tasmanian sojourn. The Braves won both their games on the dreaded trip, for the first time in at least eight seasons.

After downing Hobart by 10 points on Friday night, the Bendigo team scaled new heights to claim a 29-point win in Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encounter with North West Tasmania at Ulverstone.

THUNDER AT HOME THE Bendigo Thunder is back home this weekend after having the bye in Round 10 of the VWFL. Having come off a twoweek break before scoring their first win at home against Melton in Round 9, the Thunder then had the bye, but have utilised the week off to refocus on pushing ahead towards finals. Coach Russell Jeffrey said the team now needs to focus on winning its last four games to develop a consistent, systematic, methodical approach to each and every game.

For the Thunder training will shift up a gear over coming weeks to further enhance fitness and skill application. Training drills will have a significant focus on moving the ball on quickly from stoppages, creating multiple options in advancing forward and attacking from deep in defence. The Thunder take on Braybrook on Sunday at Dower Park from 2pm.

MORE CASH FOR JUMPS RACING Minister Denis Napthine says jumps racing will continue to grow after endorsing a four-year plan to support continued growth and improvements in the industry.

Dr Napthine said the plan would draw upon the Victorian Coalition Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2 million State Budget commitment for jumps racing to feature greater prize money, programs supporting horse safety, improving rider safety and increasing the international profile of the sport.

He said the $2 million provided by the government across four years was part of a $79.5 million Victorian Racing Industry Fund sourced from unclaimed wagering dividends and on-course betting taxes.

Randall hits 200 Bendigo Braves captain makes milestone BENDIGO Braves Captain Warren Randall is set to play his 200th SEABL game for the Braves this Saturday night when they take on Brisbane at the Bendigo Stadium.

Randall, 27, has been a member of the Braves senior squad since 2001 and has had many accolades during his time including a National Championship in 2005 and a Conference title in 2007.

However, his most important achievement may just be the four years, since 2008, where he has lead the Braves as captain. The highlight of his tenure being last season’s SEABL East Conference Championship.

Randall said he was proud to reach this significant milestone: “It feels like it has come around very quickly.

“I am very proud of what our club has managed to do in

Being captain is a great honour for me my time here,” he said.

“Being captain is a great honour for me considering the quality of my team mates and the success we have achieved.

“I am just happy that I can say I have played 200 games with such a great club and group of mates.”

Symes Motors Bendigo Braves Head Coach Ben Harvey congratulated Randall on his outstanding achievements.

“Warren has been a sig-

nificant member for our team over a 10 year period.’’

Harvey said Randall had given his all to the club, not only through his on court play and leadership, but also with community basketball programs such as the Braves in Schools Program and Braves School Holiday Camps.

“Warren is a great guy and the entire Bendigo Braves Basketball Club congratulates him on reaching a fantastic milestone for his career.”

Randall becomes the seventh male player in the history of the Bendigo Braves Basketball Club to play 200 games behind David Flint, Justin Cass, Steve Kelly, Chris Hogan, Pat Jennings and Taylor Bell.

Randall will lead his side into battle on Saturday night against the Brisbane Spartans.

Tip off is at 8pm at the Bendigo Stadium.

Pioneer spirit

By BEN CAMERON

HIGH SPOT: Pioneers coach Mark Ellis said the win won’t be the last.

THE Bendigo Pioneers’ drought-breaking win against the Calder Cannons won’t be the last this season, according to coach Mark Ellis.

The Pioneers face the Eastern Ranges at Box Hill this weekend with renewed confidence after they claimed the scalp of third-placed Calder Cannons by 14 points at the QEO last Saturday. It was their first victory since round seven last year.

Ellis said the victory was just reward for the players and their loyal band of supporters, who have supported them week in week out.

“The win last week has certainly given the boys a lot of confidence, so we certainly think there are a few more wins around the corner,” he said.

“Their attitude and the spirit they’ve shown has been terrific.”

Ellis paid special tribute to captain Sam Kerridge, Koe Ngawati, Oliver Eins and Sam Heavyside for the win, but the overall attitude of the team had been first-class, despite the obvious lack of wins.

The Pioneers sit in last place but the weekend’s victory broke their run of nine losses. They are

a big chance against the Ranges, who are 10th on the ladder.

“They’ve been really good in how they’ve gone about the year, even though the win loss ratio hasn’t been the way we’ve wanted it,” he said.

He said the Pioneers had every chance of winning their second game for the year this weekend at Box Hill.

“We were a bit stiff last time (against Eastern Ranges), we were beaten by nine points after we came home with a wet sail,” Ellis said.

He said some of the players were excited to get their first run on the QEO against the Calder Cannons.

“The terrific thing is we were able to play in Bendigo. It was the first time on the QEO for a lot of our players,” he said.

“To have our first win in what has been a very loyal supporter base was just a terrific ad for TAC Cup footy.”

He said while the Pioneers had struggled on the scoresheet, 2011 had still brought many positives.

“We’ve struggled in terms of win and loss but there has been some good development of the players,” he said.

“There have been some really good signs, and spirits have been up lately.”
