Man arrested after ‘shot fired’ A LONG Gully man was in police custody late yesterday, after an alleged shooting incident at a Happy Valley Road property that sparked a lockdown of City of Greater Bendigo offices and a local law firm. The 58-year-old man was arrested just after 1.30pm. No one was injured in the incident. FULL STORY Page 3

BYPASSED BendigoAhead By ANTHONY RADFORD

A LAST-MINUTE plan could see a solution reached in the battle over whether or not to build a four-lane road through historic Quarry Hill. VicRoads and the City of Greater Bendigo council released the Draft Bendigo Road Transport Strategy in March. Bendigo’s population is expected to grow by 40,000 people

Erskine calls for new road rethink

by 2030, which translates to about 115,000 vehicle trips each day. The strategy proposed more than $380 million work to the city’s road network over the next 25 years. The Bendigo Weekly revealed in March homes could be lost as part of the plan, which had at its centre a road connecting the city’s south and north through the historic suburb. Strong campaigning from locals

culminated in 453 submissions to the strategy, and a public hearing at the Bendigo library last night. The man credited with saving Bendigo from running out of water, well-known businessman Don Erskine, had previously backed the plan to build a road up the railway reserve from the city’s south to north. Mr Erskine has reiterated his support for the plan, but said a

through-road in Quarry Hill was not the right idea. Mr Erskine said the plan should look at a series of exits or distribution points. “We have to address the future population growth of the city, but I am not convinced the study has come up with the final solution,” he said. “A lot of the strategy and what it recommended was extremely good

and will alleviate problems around Bendigo. “But the final north-south route needs more input, even though the basic concept is right.” Mr Erskine called for a change in direction away from a throughroad, towards a series of planned exits. “The distribution of traffic from Myrtle Street or through Quarry Hill needs to be refined,” he said. “I am talking about distributing traffic to different areas when it leaves the train line. Continued Page 2

THE Biggest Winner is back. The weight loss challenge organised by St John of God Hospital, with a $1000 first prize, caught the imagination of Bendigo people last year. More than 100 people lost a combined 281.6 kilogram, reduced their blood pressure and dropped a total of 821.4 centimetres off arms, necks, waists, hips and legs. The good news is there are 200 places available this year. “The focus this year will be on workplace teams, although individuals are welcome to enter,” hospital chief executive officer Michael Hogan said. “We hope workplaces will again consider subsidising or paying their staff’s fee. “Last year 70 of the entrants (78 per cent) were in nine teams. The winning team, from Campaspe Asset Management Services, had 15 co-workers involved and they lost an average of six per cent and were doing their own workplace activities as well, as were most team entries. “CAMS team members also picked up some prizes at the awards night, for weight loss, most improved blood pressure or centimetres lost.” Michael Hogan said lessons

WINNING WAYS: Last year’s winner Linda Conn. from entrants’ comments and the results last year showed it was easier if you have support from family, friends and workmates, it helped to be weighed in regularly and those who used coupons and free offers all lost weight. Even those who did not lose a lot of weight still lost centimetres and dropped their blood pressure. The $50 registration fee applies again, and entitles entrants to a starter pack with useful tips, discount coupons and informa-

tion, weekly weigh-ins if they wish, gym access and personal trainer advice and other help along the way. This year the proceeds will be donated to the Heart Foundation. Last year’s winner Linda Conn, is urging others to sign up. Linda lost an amazing 24 per cent of her body weight in 12 weeks and took home the cheque for $1000.

“I had been meaning to lose weight for a 2011 long time, like many people,” she said. “Having a start date and the structure of the challenge was a www.sjog.org.au/bend igo huge help. Before it was always going to be ‘next Monday.’” Ms Conn praised the View Street UFS Pharmacy staff for their help. “The staff were so encouraging; they always noticed my improvements and it made such a difference,” she said. Ms Conn plans to enter again this year to try to reach her goal weight – and encourage her father to join her this time. “I lost a lot but still have more to go,” she said. “I want to tell everyone, even losing (the first) 10 kilos made a huge difference. I had always felt the process of losing a lot of weight was daunting. “Doing it with others, and having the Bendigo’s Biggest Winner structure and support, makes it all more do-able.”

Rethink on road From Page 1 “Instead of a through route, it is the distribution of traffic that needs to be addressed. “Some may be at Gladstone Street, some may be at Myrtle Street, some may be elsewhere. “It will be the distribution that will be the solution to the problems we are facing, not the through-road.” Mr Erskine said the claim the north-south route would be dominated by trucks and speeding cars was unrealistic. “The through traffic in Bendigo is very minimal,” he said. “It is the internal and local community whose needs have to be addressed.

“It is the residential areas that will be serviced by this road and this strategy. “The plan is not talking about trucks and transport, it is talking about internal, local traffic flow. “Any trucks that are in the city are servicing the city and would be there anyway. “There will be very few truck movements in comparison to public domestic transport.” Tell us your thoughts Email: letters@bendigoweekly. com.au Write to: Letters to the Editor, PO Box 324, Bendigo 3552

BENDIGO will be re-named Bendimo for November, to raise awareness of men’s health. As part of the popular Movember fundraising campaign, the Bendigo Weekly believes the council has given the go ahead to the Bendigo Prostate Support Group plan. Before then, the group will hold a special prostate cancer awareness week in Bendigo. Some of the city’s most prominent buildings, including the RSL, Myers and the Bendigo Bank buildings, all in Pall Mall, will be lit up with blue lights fro the week. The Weekly also understands a big pair of blue underpants will be strung from the Bendigo Bank building promoting prostate cancer checks. The week will culminate in a gala event in Rosalind Park on August 26. Special guests will include AFL identities David Parkin and Kevin Sheehan, as well as a Blues band.

The man drove off after the incident, and police cordoned off the street at Marong Road. About 20 police and 10 police cars were in-

ficer Craig Niemann said security guards were called to council buildings with public access. “As soon as we heard that there had been a shot fired, we put these actions in place,� he said. The man was arrested without incident when he returned to the Happy Valley Road property after 1pm. Inquiries are continuing.

A 58-year old man was arrested yesterday at a Long Gully home after a gun was allegedly fired. At the time of publication, the man was in custody and refusing to co-operate with CIU detectives. The drama began just before 9.30am when a lawyer acting on behalf of the City of Greater Bendigo council went to a Happy Valley Road property to serve a building order on the owner. The lawyer told police he thought he heard a cracking sound, turned around and thought he saw a man holding a gun. Police had not found a gun or a bullet late yesterday.

Call on Land 121 expected By Ben CameRon

A deCiSion on whether Thales will be awarded a lucrative Australian defence Force contract is imminent. The Bendigo manufacturer is hoping to secure the Australian Army contract as part of the Land 121 Phase 4 protected vehicle contract, worth in the vicinity of $1.2 billion. in Bendigo to unveil the 800th Bushmaster armoured military vehicle, Federal defence Minister Stephen Smith said a decision was coming soon. “We’re expecting to make a decision in the not too distant future,” he said. “The most important thing is to get it right. “it’s very important we carefully, thoroughly and methodically go through all of the options. You don’t want to make mistakes.” Accompanied by defence Materiel Minister Jason Clare, Mr Smith said Thales had proven itself to be a producer of defence equipment but his depart-

ment had both national security and financial implications to consider. “Australian defence has always been about a combination of local production and development, or off-the-shelf purchases overseas,” he said. “The preference is that we get the capability that we need, in a way that gives value for money to the taxpayers. “The success of the Bushmaster holds Thales in good stead, in good order for other projects. “But given the competitive bidding arrangement, where choices have to be made, it’s not appropriate for me to go into the merits one way or another. “i can understand people in Bendigo, in the workplace and generally, want a decision sooner rather than later.” The government recently ordered a further 101 Bushmasters for use in Afghanistan, meaning a total of 838 Bushmasters would be delivered to the Australian defence Forces .

Bendigo Bank has responded to concerns about the way funds collected for bushfire victims have been spent. “We understand the frustration the community must be feeling,” manager of Bendigo Bank’s Community enterprise Foundation Callum Wright said this week. “They have had to endure the confusion of a very complex process.” earlier this month, Bendigo Bushfire Action group member Paul epworth questioned why $300,000 of bushfire funds was spent on the Long gully Menshed. Mr epworth said the group “was disgusted by the lack of consultation on

this project and the misdirection of funds to one shed”. While Mr Wright conceded the Foundation “could have been more forthcoming” with information about how the money donated to the Bushfire Fund was being allocated”, he said initial

facilitator Mark Cattell and reference group member Karen Plant, said the lack of a Long gully facility had been an issue for the community. “The physical and emotional damage inflicted on these communities by the Black Saturday bushfire has exacerbated the urgency to

We understand the frustration the community must be feeling support for the Menshed project had been received in July, 2009. “We have a letter endorsing the project, from the community reference group at the time,” Mr Wright said. That letter, signed by

establish this long-planned and much-needed multipurpose community facility,” they said. Mr epworth’s group has no issue with the shed being built, but believesdthe project should have been funded by govern-

ment, not by public donations. Mr Wright said the Bendigo Bank’s bushfire fund teamed with Rural development Victoria to identify projects that “build stronger communities”. “We have many different pools of money available, and this one was a joint community infrastructure fund which was paid to Menshed Australia, to assist with the Long gully project,” he said. Mr Wright said there was still $40,000 available in the funding specifically for Bendigo projects as a result of bushfire damage. “We hope to be with the Action group in the longer term,” he said. “We look forward to speaking with Mr epworth soon.”

BENDIGO has farewelled one of its bestknown businessmen, and one of life’s gentlemen. Don Dungey passed away last Sunday, aged 93. Don’s business was real estate, joining the family business – LL Dungey and Sons – at 17. He went on to help create one of the city’s most successful businesses, now known as DCK. During his working life, which was up until Don was 90, the company grew from having six staff to more than 40, from 150 properties on its rent role to more than 1500. As well as being a real estate agent, Don was an auctioneer and a valuer. He sold some of Bendigo’s landmark properties, including Lansellstowe and the Shamrock Hotel, during his working life. The name Don Dungey was synonymous with hard work, working seven days a week for years on end, an ethic his children and grandchildren have benefited greatly from. Don worked at a time when deals were done with handshakes, and he wasn’t afraid to

Donald Strang Dungey August 13, 1917 – July 16, 2011 go into bat to help others out. It was not uncommon for Don to help out hardworking couples short of a deposit, with a loan. He would also threaten the Bendigo Building Society, legendary boss Frank Perrow in particular, that he would withdraw his

substantial funds if the society would not lend clients of good character money. Don’s willingness to do what was needed and go the extra step to help out wasn’t limited to his work life. He proudly enlisted as soon as the Second World War was declared, and went to war for its

entirety. He joined the AntiAircraft Unit where his role was to drive an AIF gun truck and look after the gun. His war duties took him to the Middle East, Borneo, New Guinea and other Pacific locations. A favourite family story of Don’s war service is based in the Egyptian desert, where he came across a little girl about to be sold off for slavery, or maybe worse. Don was shocked at the thought the girl could be robbed of her childhood, and managed to buy her freedom using rations and a small sum of money. Don’s personal life was also admirable, and full of fun. He married his first wife, Lois Hyett, in 1944, on a rare visit home during the war. The couple had two sons, Richard (Rick) and Robin, who was born on Anzac Day 1949. Lois died tragically in 1968, and in 1977 Don married Joan, who shared his love of travel, golf, football, music, gardening and, almost more importantly for Don, a cold beer. Don had nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

Wedding dress reconnects family A PALE green, beautifully detailed, tiny-waisted wedding dress, first worn in England in 1850 by Mary Pearce who then migrated with her husband two years later, was the focus this week of close scrutiny. It wasn’t just the superb stitching, and the waspish waist of this wellpreserved gown, now in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia. It was that some of the people who gathered around it at the Bendigo Art Gallery, as staff pre-

pared for the grand opening of their blockbuster White Wedding Dress show had not known they were related, until they learnt of the connection through the dress. Mary Pearce’s dress was probably handed down the maternal line, greatgreat-great-great-granddaughter Sue Napier, who lives in Bendigo, says. It was her aunt, Betty Blunden, who gathered together the family history, then collated by her son Andy, which led

pleased to learn from curator Tansy Curtin that it was probably not made from white fabric because Mary would not have been rich enough. The Pearce dress is part of the Australian exhbition of historic and contemporary gowns, curated by Bendigo Art Gallery to complement their exclusive showing of items from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The White Wedding Dress will open on August 1, and runs until November 6.

MAIL delivery in the growing Huntly area is a lottery, according to disgruntled resident Ian Cahill. “This has caused so much bad will,� Mr Cahill said this week. “It’s not fair that some houses get their mail delivered and others have to have a postbox, and Australia Post cannot give me any answers about why.� Mr Cahill lives on the Midland Highway that bisects the township 10 kilometres north of central Bendigo. Australia Post delivers to houses on Airey Street, in the area behind the main road, but have told Mr Cahill his house is not in the delivery zone. Those households which do not get street delivery can apply for subsidised postboxes at the Huntly Post Office, on the Midland Highway at the town’s centre.

Mr Cahill has been told he must organise a petition of residents, to ask Australia Post to conduct a mail poll. “If residents show support for a change‌ we would be happy to undertake a mail poll,â€? Australia Post said. The spokesperson said population density in an area did not automatically trigger street mail delivery. Australia Post considers facts such as accessibility, distance between properties, and the number of residents who want street mail delivery. Mr Cahill said he hoped other Huntly residents would support his campaign. “This is a ridiculous situation, that I live on a main road within a kilometre of the Huntly post office, and I can’t get mail delivered,â€? he said.

BIRDS, trees, the way a lizard moves through leaf litter, the formation of clouds – and how all these things are changing in the Australian landscape – fascinate artist John Wolseley. In his studio surrounded by the Whipstick forest, he also pores over the scratchy maps made by the first white people to rush to the Bendigo district in search of gold. “I’m obsessed with how it all works,” Wolseley, 73, says. “I like to think I’ve invented a new sublime, where the landscape is awe-inspiring, and frightening, incredible. “When you are on your own, you can see

about their collaboration on the book which documents birds from the scrubland of central Victoria to snow-covered Japan. “We did not set out to compose a politically urgent book,” Wolseley and Hill say. “But the shadow that falls upon the lives of many birds has, to some extent, made it so. “The more we value a living thing the more we are unavoidably anguished at the idea of its extinction.” Lines for Birds is published by UWAP, $59.95.

Ben – It’s the local you know, 3BO. I have Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford with me. Defence Minister Steven Smith is in town today to visit Thales’ North Bendigo factory today I believe. Anthony – Australia’s two senior Defence Ministers, Steven Smith and Jason Clare, are in Bendigo today touring Thales to welcome the 800th Bushmaster the Federal Government has purchased. Thales is waiting on the government to announce whether it has won, against two international companies, a tender for a Bushmaster-style ute. This tender has been delayed, and I don’t think it will be announced then, but it is a good sign both these men are familiarising themselves with Bendigo’s Thales factory. Ben – It is a massive contract and without getting too much ahead of ourselves, let’s hope that is positive news. Something that has been a lot more controversial is the Bendigo Road Transport Strategy. What is happening on Thursday night in regards to this? Anthony – The whole process of community feedback and submissions takes the next step on Thursday night, with a series of presentations on behalf of those who have submitted. It should be a fiery event, with council looking at all aspects of the plan, including the much-maligned Gladstone Street through road. Ben – Just before we wrap up, the big snooker tournament is in town this week, following hot on the heels from the Sheep and Wool Show. A big week for visitors and for Bendigo. Bendigo again continues to tick all the boxes when it comes to these events showcasing what Bendigo has to offer. Anthony – It is fantastic. Most journalists in Bendigo have Google alerts for the city. So every time Bendigo is named in the web, we get an email. The last few days we have been getting alerts from all strange places and strange websites around the world, as the information about the Goldfields Snooker Open is reported. It is a great event, is great for the city and organisers of the Open, as well as those who helped bring it to Bendigo, should be congratulated.

Renewable energy uncertainty I WAS astounded to hear comments attributed to Tony Abbott giving notice to renewable energy companies that because he has an agenda to roll back the carbon tax if he wins the next Federal election, he does not expect there will be much investment in renewable energy initiatives in the meantime. The implication here of course is that while he creates uncertainty in the investment environment, renewable energy companies will be reluctant to commit. This is an astonishing insight into this person, at a time when there is more global investment in renewable energy than in the coal sector, and more job growth in the renewable energy sector than in the coal and petroleum industries combined. That he is prepared to scuttle a vital future growth industry for Australia is an insult to the many people who have been striving to stimulate the renewable energy sector in Australia. Here in Central Victoria the Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance is striving to position this region for renewable energy opportunities. We have seen the successful Central Victorian Solar Cities program established and many community-based projects that have raised the awareness of energy related issues. Tony Abbott’s scuttling of the renewable energy sector comes from a man who four years ago supported an emissions trading scheme, has since stated that “climate change is crap”, now says he believes in man-made climate change, has publicly stated that the best mechanism for pricing carbon is a carbon tax, and now suggests that the world we know is about to end and the sky will fall in if the carbon tax is adopted. I despise the opportunistic style of Tony Abbott’s gutter politics and deplore his comments that seek to create uncertainty in investment opportunities for all Australians. Keith Reynard, Chairman, Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance

I had a dream I HAD a dream. Kevin Rudd was addressing caucus: “I’m challenging Julia. My policy is to abolish the carbon tax. On climate change, I will adopt

Inconvenient truth PRIME MINISTER Gillard’s argument that the introduction of a carbon tax is the right thing to do is pretentious nonsense. Just what it is that is right about increasing the cost of living and of doing business in Australia is unexplained. It is also a mystery how exporting jobs offshore is the right thing to do. If a carbon tax is such a great idea, perhaps the Prime Minister can explain why major economies like the US, China, India and Canada have not imposed one and are not likely to in the near future. This makes the option of Australia doing nothing not only a very real one, but an eminently sensible one. By presenting this massive and ever increasing impost on the Australian people as the right thing to do, the government is merely

engaging in moral grandstanding, as is the wont of left wing governments. The usual problem that arises in the rush toward the moral high ground is that the first casualty is the truth. The truth is that this new tax will do precisely nothing to alter the climate. No surprises there. If the Prime Minister was completely honest with the Australian people, she would own up to the fact that the climate has historically always changed and will continue to do so, despite the so called scientific consensus. It was scientific consensus that once pronounced the earth flat, but it took a denying sceptic to prove it wrong. If the Prime Minister showed some integrity, there would almost certainly be at least a couple of other truths she would need to reveal. One would be that the proposed carbon tax is simply nothing more than a tax grab. The other is what is so transparently obvious to even those who give but a cursory glance toward the political goings-on in Canberra, and that is that the Greens are calling the shots. We now have a party with only one representative in the lower house of the federal parliament effectively running the country.

That’s the real inconvenient truth. Gary Jude, Bendigo

Lighting review WHEN was the previous street lighting review carried out in Bendigo by Powercor at the request of the City of Greater Bendigo? I am concerned about the lighting at the intersection of Specimen Hill-Marong Road and Eaglehawk Road in Golden Square. This is the most dangerous intersection in Bendigo, with a proposal to install traffic lights at some time in the future, but in the meantime there is no street lighting for traffic for some distance from the dangerous intersection. It is noticeable that there is plenty of street lighting in the Bendigo West Stadium area, but virtually nothing from then on. With the heavy road traffic in this area caused by development on Marong Road and the Bendigo West Stadium so close one would have thought Council would have considered the safety features of this intersection and requested reports from Powercor and VicRoads on street lighting.

Plan could work IT might be stating the bleeding obvious, but a solution needs to be found on the impasse surrounding the Draft Bendigo Road Transport Strategy. Released in March, the strategy immediately raised protest. While most of the plan is well supported, a small section of it has been vigorously opposed. Locals in the Gladstone Street area at Quarry Hill fear their homes could be lost if the planned north-south link goes ahead. The strategy looked at building a through-road, possibly four lanes wide, through their quiet neighbourhood. Rightly, they were fearful, despite VicRoads and the City of Greater Bendigo assuring them it was only a draft and could take up to 20 years to happen. On the eve of last night’s pub-

Don Erskine, whose idea to build the Bendigo Superpipe saved the city from running out of water – twice – believes there is a compromise. Mr Erskine believes a throughroad may not be needed at all and a series of exits could be the solution. Mr Erskine’s plan relies on a fact that has had very little cover-

the east and south-east of the Bendigo CBD. Yet the draft report, and the ensuing dialogue, has a major focus on the flow of traffic in the main north-south corridor. It’s not easy to drive across the city from west to east without being funnelled into the centre of Bendigo or its fringes. That’s already a problem, and it looks likely to only be a bigger problem in the future. A few months ago when the draft report was first released, I spoke with one of Australia’s leading road traf-

ners and VicRoads, together with other levels of government, should be considering planning for greater investment in our satellite centres of Strath Village, Eaglehawk and Centro Lansell. Our current CBD could not cope with a population of 200,000, which is what it will be in 35 years, nor will the roads leading into the city. We should also be thinking about developing dedicated park-and-ride stations across Bendigo to try and reduce the number of vehi-

Park and ride the way to go

THE City of Greater Bendigo and VicRoads are presently weeding their way through the hundreds of submissions from the community in response to the Draft Bendigo Road Strategy Report released in March. At the time of the draft report’s release, this column predicted the reaction from the community would be of a scale not seen before; not just because people might not like what the report was advocating, but because the emergence of social media has provided a much more convenient and easy way to spread a message. That prediction has been realised, and both the City and VicRoads would be pleased at the level of response to such an important plan for the future. But I believe the report fails because it is too focussed on providing soluThe Photographer tions to our city’s current transport woes, and does not adequately address the ones we should all be able to see coming in the years ahead. Much of Bendigo’s population growth for the next 30 years will be concentrated on the burgeoning north-west corridor of Maiden Gully and Marong, together with the Strathfieldsaye district to

with

age since March – that the road is not a thoroughfare; it is for local traffic. Mr Erskine believes there will be no more trucks or heavy transports travelling in the area than what needs to access the neighbourhood. The plans, Mr Erskine said this week, are designed for internal traffic, not those wishing to bypass the CBD altogether. This makes sense, given VicRoads is worried about Bendigo’s population growth, not the growth of industry. With that in mind, it is disappointing such a plan did not emerge at the beginning, and has not emerged since. If Mr Erskine’s plan can be shown to work, thus solving the concerns of both VicRoads and local residents, then it needs to be supported wholeheartedly.

GREEN FINGERS: George Bobins surrounded by his fresh herbs. are able to visit and select their own punnets, but the bulk of their 25,000 plants each week go either to Melbourne for distribution to restaurants there or overseas. There is an increasingly keen market developing in Singapore and Hong Kong, George says. And right now, Korea is also looking good for this boutique and almost unique Bendigobased enterprise. “We have noted an increase in interest since the television cooking shows have become popular,� George says. “But the Australian housewife is not ready for micro-herbs. “We concentrate on where our markets lie, and that’s keeping us busy enough.� The Bobins came to Bendigo from Melbourne in 1972, and before the

herb business, they farmed ducks at Campbell’s Forest for the eggs. It was daughter Susie’s idea to do the herbs, and they quickly established 4000 basil plants as their core business. When a Huntly watercress grower tried to talk them into buying his business, they demurred. “That was not our bag, the cutting and packing – we do fresh and living herbs,� George said. But then Susie had the brainstorm: “Why can’t we grow the watercress small?� And the basil, the thyme, the beetroot, celery and the rest. The first stage of growth is the sprout. That’s followed by the micro-leaf, which is the garnish size that has done so well for B&B. Then comes the baby leaf, which is what you

will get if you buy a pot of B&B herbs at the Bendigo Community Markets each month Beyond that, George doesn’t really want to know, but when a herb does go to seed, there is a niche opportunity for someone in Australia to harvest and sell them. B&B sources bulk coriander seeds from WA – the rest comes from overseas. Food Fossickers is the Central Victorian Food Trade Network, that brings together information about all the best produce around the region. If you are a Food Fossicker member, let us know your story.

pick of the week The Steps to Success Peter McLean, Brolga, $24.99

PETER McLean’s observation about what is essential for good business could apply to just about all relationships in life. “It is essential to be in good partnerships and working with the right people,� he writes in his new book, The Steps to Success. It’s a step by step, week by week, self-help book, written in conjunction with Deakin University academic Vik Naidoo, designed to guide managers and community leaders towards building their own “value base�. “Only by investing in yourself can you create value in your business and in the broader community,� Mr McLean says. With experience as a manager and director, Mr McLean has

developed this holistic approach to business because, he says, it’s the best way to get results for both the business and for yourself. “It’s too easy to think, when you’re running a business, ‘how does this get me my new boat’, but the data shows – it’s not just theory – that working on yourself and your own values does make your business more successful too,� he says. “You build your own capability when there is a bigger commitment to yourself. “If you have a more collaborative approach, it’s been proved that you can increase your business capability by 10 to 15 per cent.� Mr McLean runs his consultancy business from his home

near Maldon, where he practises what he preaches, creating the kind of optimistic, open-minded approach to his own work and life as he advocates in his book. He has built a model for excellence based on keys he and Naidoo have identified, such as motivation, capability and opportunity. “This is the the first time a methodology has focussed on the entrepreneur at a personal level,� he says. “I am particularly concerned about our young people, who have brilliant ideas, and sometimes develop multi-million dollar businesses, but they are lacking good relationships and looking for mentors.

“There are a lot of business books, but learning about yourself is a powerful tool.� Peter McLean will launch The Steps to Success at Dymocks Bendigo tomorrow, July 23, at 11.30am.

VISITING George Bobins at his herb farm in East Bendigo, is like Christmas morning – there are so many little surprises waiting under the tree. Who would imagine that there is a thriving business on the edge of Bendigo which specialises in supplying garnish to restaurants? If you love your pot of parsley on the kitchen windowsill, and have mint running riot in a corner patch of the garden, you’ll understand the pleasure of tasting fresh herbs. For the serious herbie, the big temperature-controlled growing sheds at B&B Basil are sensual delights, a riot of colour and subtle aromas. Pinching off a stalk of chard, mint, lemon balm or shiso promises a little burst of flavour in your mouth. Just a garnish? You’d be mad not to eat it, before you try the rest of your meal, relishing the moment. B&B Basil started up eight years ago. The idea was to establish a small father and daughter enterprise, to keep George off the streets (or off his beloved motorcycle). That idea took off, however, and now the family employs 32 people, growing 32 different varieties of herb, mostly as micro-greens – garnish-size herbs – which they sell to the restaurant trade.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 22, 2011

Scaling back on food intake From the earliest I’ve had a weighty problem. In post rationing Britain it was a time of plenty, the Baby Boomers just kept on booming...

I WAS checking out the international newspaper sites on the internet this week and discovered a word. Manorexia. Apparently it’s a problem impacting the young men of the UK. It’s been around a while, but I have only just heard. Body-conscious blokes are overdoing the dieting... and ending up with manorexia. It’s a serious subject and a major health concern, so I’m not about to make light of it, but there’s fat chance of me getting it. I have all the image issues and desires to be thin, I just lack the major ingredient. Willpower. If you could buy it in tablet form the inventor would be rich. I also read on the same site how a UK comedy actress shed 30 kilograms by drinking milkshakes. Letting you into a little secret I did that one for six months once and the weight came off. My hair started falling out too, but who cares when you lose 50kg. Anyway, that was years

STEVE KENDALL ON LIFE

ago and I’m heading back up the scale. I have a few photos taken at the time and bring them out once in a while to see how things could be again. Shall I chase the milkshakes or the manorexia? Mrs Doctor had told me

When Kendall jumps in, the water jumps out I have to do it, the long-suffering Mrs Kendall has told me I have to do it... it’s just Mr Willpower who doesn’t agree. On these cold winter days the comfort of a meal is amazing. I can never understand

the concept of leaving something on the plate. I reckon it has something to do with my mum living through wartime rationing. She did her absolute best to make sure her children did not have to go without. Can’t blame her totally, but it has certainly given me a mindset. Anyway, how do I get into the mood for a manorexic look? Not fully, just a 50 per cent attempt. From the reports I have read it can be quite unpleasant for those who suffer, so I don’t want to go the whole way. But knowing how my willpower is so crap I probably won’t be able to stop myself. Manorexia or not, something has to be done. I found an ad in the paper for a personal trainer who would visit me at home. How easy would that be? That’s suits me, but doesn’t it just show how I want the easy way, no willpower to go to the gym. People have suggested

swimming, but that’s where the self-image is a problem... I don’t even want to look at myself wallowing round the pool, let alone the rest of the patrons seeing what’s making the big splash. “When Kendall jumps in, the water jumps out.” Ahh, memories of those friendly jibes at school. You should have heard

what they said when I couldn’t climb the rope in the gym. For some reason I was pretty good at rugby. Cycling’s a good idea for health, but that hurts at first. I went to the trouble of fixing up the old mountain bike too. Only $170, but it went straight back in the shed and

is covered in hay and cobwebs again. That’s much the way I feel too. This is a cry for help. Manorexia wouldn’t be healthy, I’m not sure about milkshakes again, cycling hurts, swimming I’m shy, and a home trainer is just plain lazy. Guess it’ll just have to be calorie control. Waaaaaah.

As the gas works site had not been exhaustively mined for alluvial gold it meant that for over a century the edges of it were an attraction to fossickers. In March, 1863 one gold seeker was engaged in

will travel

“There were regular applications before the council to mine in certain public areas” digging in the water channel (the Bendigo Creek), near the gas works. This character was arrested by the civic authorities and subsequently appeared in court. Bridge Street was the home of a number of Bendigo’s breweries as was the immediate adjacent area. However not all activities were lawful. In December, 1862 a man of initiative, Thomas Harvey was charged with having an illicit still in Irishtown. No doubt he had sufficient custom to make his activity worthwhile until he was arrested. Harvey was not by any means the sole illicit still operator as during the hot weather of February, 1863 George Barry had also been found to operate

another illicit still. These bootlegging activities were frowned upon by the law. By contrast there were regular applications before the council to mine in certain public areas. Thomas Doyle and his mates petitioned the council to allow them to mine ground in lower Irishtown, opposite Mr Hood’s Forge. Similarly another mining application had been received from Crippen and Company, they wanted to mine on the footpath opposite Hopper’s Cider Manufactory of Irishtown. In most instances the council acceded to these requests to mine as they saw this as an opportunity to make improvements to a roadway or footpath. Part of the permis-

sion granted would be a stipulation ensuring the enhanced condition in which the area to be mined had to be left. Council officers supervised these activities so the diggers were in effect making municipal improvements, grubbing out tree stumps, filling in holes with gravel and levelling the ground while the material put through their cradles or puddling machines perhaps yielded them some reward. In July, 1862, there was a request from a number of Irishtown residents to improve the footpath from the Gas Company Works to the Crooked Billet Hotel. This was deferred until such time as a proper storm water channel was formed (the Bendigo

Creek). The Crooked Billet Hotel was near the Third White Hill, the closest hotel today would be the Captain Cook. Another petition in July 1862 was submitted to the council asking that the footpath opposite the Gas Works be made navigable. Those passing the site found it difficult to hold their breath for a sufficient length of time until they had passed the “unwholesome odours” emanating from the works. Opposite the intersection of Lucan and Bakewell streets was another hotel called the Baker’s Arms, which had problems with the slush that was in the street during winter. The Baker’s Arms Hotel, was renamed the Tyson’s Reef.

IN the early 1860s Irishtown was a hive of industry. Among the diggers holes and the puddling sludge there was a diverse range of activity in this less than desirable locality. If we fast forward to the present time Irishtown is a convenient place, strategic to Bendigo Health, Lake Weeroona and the centre of Bendigo. Irishtown became a good address as early as the 1920s, as can be seen by the architecture of solid Californian bungalows and subsequent styles. Bridge Street was the main thoroughfare leading north, McCrae Street had not been completed. The sludge from puddling lay in great depth over the confluence of the Back and Bendigo Creeks, preventing through access. There were numerous framed tents, bark and slab huts, primitive weatherboard dwellings with earth chimneys and the occasional brick building such as the new retort house of the Bendigo Gas Works dotted amongst the mined landscape. By far the largest landmark on this low flat area was the octagonal brick chimney of the Gas Company, rising over 20 metres, it was visible from many parts of the developing township.

WITHOUTYOU I’M NOTHING

ENTERTAINED

MEGAN SPENCER To be able to make things happen for others is a great vocation,

BEN CAMERON For Sarah Blasko, forming the tenacious and inspired,Seeker Lover Keeper, with contemporaries Holly Throsby and Sally Seltmann, was an experience of varying perspectives. “Working with them shook me up a bit, in being able to get inside someone else’s world for a bit,” she says. “When you’re so used to singing your own stuff, you get into your own patterns.” It was also an exercise in forward planning. Based in different cities, the girls would schedule meetings months in advance, eventually meeting up in New York to record the self titled album. Produced by all three, Blasko describes the LP both reminiscent of her back catalogue, yet something totally different. “It’s similar in that the three of us have similar tastes in music and ideals when recording, we like to keep things pretty organic,” she says. “But it’s just so different being a ‘band’. “Sharing songs with one another, opening up to each other musically.” Contributing four songs each, writing was completed in solitude, although there was a degree of collaboration in “Bring Me Back”. “The vocal part that is kind of like the cho-

B.ENTERTAINED • 23

BLASKO AND CO rus came together as we sang together,” she says. It was an early demo of “Rest Your Head On My Shoulder” a “round-thepiano folk song” however that cemented the belief Seeker Lover Keeper would actually work. “I think it paved the way for the style of the record,” she says. “When Holly and I first heard it, it made the album seem possible. “From this simple, gospel-like song we realised that we wanted the record to sound very natural, piano, guitar, drums and bass and for it to feature lots of singing and harmonies. “I suppose it gave it a direction to aim for.” It became the album’s “trigger point”. “I think it did lyrically too... the idea of life and music being a shared experience, of being there for one another,” she says. “It’s a beautiful sentiment.” Although firm friends, there were difficult moments during the New York recording. Especially on one difficult day, resulting in all three crying outside the studio. “I think we all realised how difficult it was to make an album in 10 days!” she laughs. “There’s so much to do and a lot of pressure to get the feeling right. “It was essentially a really intense couple of weeks with little time to do anything else.” The origins of Seeker

Lover Keeper go back to 2004; the year all three released their debut albums: Throsby’s On Night, Seltmann’s The Last Beautiful Day, and Blasko’s The Overture and the Underscore. “We’ve all really been friends since the year our first albums came out,” she says. “We’d meet up from time to time at shows and we were simultaneously fans of each other’s music.” Seltmann and Throsby unknowingly went to the same high school, but the idea of a collaboration grew legs during a late night drinking session after one of Seltmann’s shows, at the Town Hall Hotel in Newtown. “The three of us ended up at a pub together, talking about our lives and music after the show,” she says “That was probably the first time we mentioned the idea of working together on something.” Seeker Lover Keeper has already inspired Blasko’s next album. “I think it’s inspired all of us to move forward with our next albums,” she says. “Seeing two people you really respect at work and the way that they do things gives you something to think about.”

should you be lucky enough to find a job with such a description. As managing curator of La Trobe University’s Visual Arts Centre in Bendigo, Paul Northam’s comes pretty close. It’s one he takes seriously, preferring the spotlight shine on the artists whose work is programmed in its galleries, than himself. But I thought it necessary to discover more about Paul when we met to talk about the call for artist proposals for 2012, which the VAC is spruiking. A former artist himself who chose this work over a chancein-a-lifetime painting scholarship, I found him quiet and passionate. And inspired by his work at the VAC, making opportunities happen for artists not only

from our region, but around Australia and the world. “It’s the best job going,” he says. Aside from programming some fantastic public events and shepherding the artist-in-residence program – which attracts practitioners from all over the world – Paul engages in exciting conversations with an ever-growing audience. “Our numbers are very pleasing,” he says of the Centre’s 13,000+ visitors annually. “They’re increasing steadily.. and we are slowly raising the centre’s profile”. How? “We’re working hard to break down the barrier – perception – that it’s just a Uni space, not for the general public. That it’s somehow academic or removed from everyday experience”. He squarely attributes this to the “strength of the exhibiting program – our primary reason for being”. I’m reminded here of the Sandra Bernhard quote, “without you I’m nothing”. Without the artists particular to the VAC, it would be just another gallery. Getting the 2012 program right is Paul’s current mission.

Paul Northam Proposals are open for the Access Gallery, a space dedicated to Central Victorian artists (13 exhibitions are available). The VAC Gallery is “open to artists, art organisations and curators who are regional, from interstate or overseas” (eight). “Anyone from anywhere,” Paul says when I ask him who is eligible to apply. “There is no age limit, you don’t need a degree or a huge exhibition history, there is no preference given to La Trobe staff or students. All proposals are judged on merit. “The strength of the proposal is everything. “What we look for is the ‘curatorial rationale’. What is it about? What is the theme you’re addressing with the public? “If they demonstrate that, then we know we can expect

a strong and cohesive exhibition”. And what is the selection committee – a mix of folk from the Uni, a BAG senior curator and Paul – looking for when they consider proposals? “The best contemporary art we can show in regional Victoria!” he says. “Edgy, difficult, radical, interesting – we want our visitors to be challenged, to work a bit. To give them an art experience that wouldn’t otherwise be available in regional Victoria”. Numbers for proposals have doubled annually since Paul began at the VAC three years ago, something he’s very proud of. “To an artist, an exhibition is the most important thing happening in their life at that moment,” he says. “We try to accommodate what they want to achieve as much we can on a very tight budget – we get good feedback. “Our mission is to be the best in the region,” he smiles. He means it too... La Trobe VAC 2012 artist proposals close August 31, 2011. Download an application form from www.latrobe. edu.au/vac

THE HUB

Blueprint for success An Eaglehawk initiative aims to put the corner shop back on the map IF the Hub can pull off their plans to create an up-to-date equivalent of the good old-fashioned corner grocery store in their Eaglehawk premises, it may become a blueprint for similar enterprises across the state. “We’re being viewed as a model of what this can become,” the Hub’s manager Gavin Fisher says. “It is a risk to go there, but the plan is to become self-sustaining within a year. “If this goes right, this can be a model that can be duplicated statewide.” The Hub opened four years ago in an empty milkbar with a residence attached, redeveloped by Bendigo Access Employment with funding from community renewal schemes. The idea was to create not only a milkbar so locals would not always have to go a couple of kilometres to Eaglehawk’s main street or into Long Gully, but also meeting rooms, a homework centre and a tool-equipped workshed. With that round of funding now completed, and the centre

needing to put itself into a solid – and sustainable – financial position, the plans are to create a social-enterprise store as an adjunct to their already established catering business. “It has always been our philosophy to make a difference in the community you’re in,” Access Employment director Michael Langdon says. “In this part of Eaglehawk there is a strong presence of public housing, with new houses being added all the time, so it makes sense to create a social enterprise arm of our existing catering business. “We must stem the tide on the losses the centre is making, and while this model is not aimed at making huge profits, we do want it to be built on strong business principles so that it can pay for itself.” A couple of months ago, the Hub took over the cafe at the My-

If this goes right, this can be a model that can be duplicated statewide ers Street end of St Andrews Avenue, in the BTEC building. They moved their catering business from Bright Street, to the larger kitchen facilities in central Bendigo, which has also improved

their ability to deliver to more addresses. “I can now make five catering deliveries driving about 13 kilometres,” Mr Fisher says. “When I delivered from our Eaglehawk premises, it could take me about 75 kilometres to do the same run.” From Access Employment’s point of view, the expansion into the city cafe has given them the opportunity to employ people with disabilities, which extends their core business of training in order to find placements in the workforce for their clients. Right now, Mr Fisher is putting the finishing touches to his business plan for the social-trading enterprise they are banking on to

MIX AND MATCH BEN CAMERON Sarah McLeod’s musical taste is not eclectic. All over the shop would be more accurate. And she knows it. “Oh yeah, you should hear what’s on my hard drive,” she laughs. “I’ve got all sorts of stuff. It’s totally extreme. “When I’m left alone to my own devices and I’m writing in my studio, my main stuff is really dark tribal jungle stuff. “Like pop Sepultura without metal guitars if you will, like Gregorian chants with tribal drums.” An eclectic collection suits the ballsy McLeod, who first got attention as the lead singer of The Superjesus, who has become known as a performer with an expansive musical palate – not just hard dance and softer rock, she’s also a sucker for a well written pop tune. “I’m obsessed with pop phrasing so I listen to the most commercial mainstream pop music,” she says. “The only reason I’m listening to it is because I’m studying the way they drop the vocal rhythms. “I’m obsessed with it. I remember when I first heard ‘Hold It Against Me’ by Britney Spears in my car, I was like ‘great chorus, well done, I love this’. “I’m really into the pop format and pop craft.” She admires the doyens of the

pop songwriting world, Max Martin and Dr Loop. “They have studied old songs and picked all the best bits,” she says of their winning formula. “They put a lot of time into it. Dr Loop spent three months on a single. “They hone it, hone it, hone it, until it’s amazing.” For McLeod, the true artists are working behind the scenes. “Cathy Dennis wrote (Britney Spears classic) ‘Toxic’,” she says. “Her voice sounds exactly like Britney’s, so Cathy Dennis is singing most of that song, Britney’s hardly even on it. “It’s not Britney, it’s the people she surrounds herself with are just brilliant.” The serial genre jumper has learnt that goodness can exist in every genre, in every song. “There’s always something in it,” she says. “It doesn’t matter who the vocalist is, what they’re wearing, most of the time it’s got nothing to do with them, in the pop world anyway. “It’s the geniuses behind the scenes making the craft.” McLeod knows a thing or two about “the craft”. She learnt plenty through Superjesus guitarist and chief song scribe Chris Tenant, during the creation of their breakout album, 1997’s Sumo. “I went to the songwriting school of hard knocks man, it was hectic,” she laughs. “He’d (Tenant) put an enormous amount of pressure on me every time we’d write a song... it was really hard but it made me a better songwriter a lot quicker than I would have working with somebody who did it nastily.” The success of The Superjesus, on

lift the Hub out of a precarious financial situation and into selfsustaining profitability. “Finding the sources of funding isn’t easy,” Mr Langdon says. “Social enterprise is in its infancy in Australia, although it’s better developed in England, where governments are really getting behind the concept. “The concept is you need to be sustainable, so you can be viable in the long-term.” The Hub is being mentored by Godfrey Agius at Melbourne-based Social Traders, which was set up to encourage the development of commercially viable social enterprises in Australia. Mr Fisher says he is “quietly

Sarah McLeod the back of Sumo, in the late 90s was a heady time for McLeod. The band won two ARIAs, with Sumo taking out the Best Rock Album award. “That was all a massive whirlwind,” she says. “I remember every single day that passed was something exciting and scary that was going on. “It all happened so far I never actually got the chance to sit and reflect on any of it. “I couldn’t sit back and go ‘Wow, look what we’ve achieved’. “It was really bang, bang, bang, it was really full on, and a lot of pressure.” McLeod obviously has a thing for pressure, as she’s flung herself back into the fray since returning to Australia after five years abroad. “Lately I thought ‘I’m doing too much, there’s just too much stuff going on’,” she says. There’s a solo acoustic tour about

to kick off, a solo project in the works, and then there’s Screaming Bikini. Described as a showcase of some of her finest work of the past four years, Screaming Bikini was recorded in a cellar in Brooklyn, a cabin in Malibu and an old theatre in London. And it’s grown into something far bigger than first planned. “What’s started as a bit of a fun side project has now turned into probably my main focus,” she says. “I’m going to throw all my energy into it this year. “It was a whole lot of songs that I’d recorded whilst recording other people’s records when I was travelling across the states, and in London. “We put it all together and we thought this is a really good album, but it was different to what I was doing at the time (electro and dance). “I wasn’t going to tour it or put a band together or anything, I thought I’d just whack it out and keep doing

the solo stuff.” Her acoustic tour will take in some of the new Screaming Bikini songs. “I haven’t been on the road in Australia for five years,” she says. “It’s a good way to reintroduce myself to the market, to say ‘Hey, I’ve been away for five years, this is what I have done in the past and here’s a little taste of where I’m going’. “I’ve done rock, pop and hardcore dance club. It’s a good way to showcase and intertwine the whole lot.” McLeod could be viewed as a symbol of the gradual meshing between music over the past decade. “The dance thing just triggers something in my brain that I’ve never had before,” she said. “I think they (dance and rock) have been rivals in the past, like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.” Sarah McLeod plays The Palais Hepburn Springs Friday, July 22.

confident” that it is all developing in the right direction, and that the store will be able to build on the catering side of their increasingly busy business. “We hope to be able to make it a mini-mart that’s useful to the community, like the old-fashioned general store,” he says. “We’re looking at setting up a veggie exchange too, because a lot of people grow vegetables in this area, and we also want to promote healthy eating.” Access Employment already runs the PepperGreen Farm site at Thunder Street in North Bendigo, where the popularity of the veggie patch has inspired them to think about how they can market vegeta-

bles within the community. Mr Fisher knows there is strong competition for the shopping dollar but he hopes to be able to offer the locals a good deal on their bread and milk, as well as the advantage of super-fresh vegetables and other products. “Even in the milkbar, we noticed that when the multi-nationals were cutting the price of bread and milk it had an effect on our business, but we hope we will be able to do a deal with a local supplier so we are competitive,” he says. He is working the figures to make sure his social trading enterprise has the best opportunity to succeed. “You have a room being used

for five or six hours a week, that isn’t economical,” he says. He is also taking a close look at the use of the Men’s Shed alongside the Hub. With the new Long Gully shed open, Mr Fisher believes it would be more profitable for the Hub’s Men’s Shed to concentrate on repair work, so you could fix your lawnmower or other equipment there. That’s a discussion currently under way: woodworker Gary Perry, hard at work this week making nesting boxes for regional parks, is keen to see the facility stay as it is. “I don’t want to go over into Long Gully,” he says. “This is good here. Gets me out of the house, and keeps me busy.”

delightful dining at sabah House THe Bendigo Weekly recently enjoyed the hospitality of Sabah House, just up from the fountain in Pall Mall under the management of David Leung. This is the place to be if you’re in Bendigo or can’t get away to Asia to experience the mouth-watering delights of fine Asian cuisine. David has even secured the service of four international chefs from both Malaysia and Hong Kong to ensure diners can experience the truly authentic tastes and flavours of Malaysian and Chinese dishes. All at reasonable prices too – see the advertisement on page 12 for the menu of the great range of Workers’ Lunch Specials for $8, Monday to Friday including a can of soft drink. We were fortunate enough to enjoy the Sung Choi Boa as starters, pictured, with minced quail and pork

wrapped in lettuce leaves providing a delicate contrast. A smorgasbord of dishes followed including chicken satays with a not too overpowering peanut sauce stimulating our taste buds. Followed by pan-fried pork dumplings and a delightful Massaman curried chicken with nice light serving of steamed rice. The tender Cantonese steak and steamed vegetables proved the most popular of the dishes we sampled with the tender beef

contrasting beautifully with the rich sauce. Pork bellies and a relatively hot Belachai spinach dish laced with garlic followed, before finishing off with traditional Chinese Red Bean pancake desert. A great selection of local wines is also on available at reasonable prices as well as local and imported beers. Sabah House open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, dine-in or takeaway at 14 Pall Mall, Bendigo, phone 5442 8819.

Where tradition meets convenience IF you’ve always wanted to experience real Chinese traditional massage, foot reflexology or cupping therapy, you now have the opportunity. Lansell Tai Ji Chinese Traditional Massage recently celebrated the grand opening of their third massage shop at the Centro Lansell Shopping Centre. Chinese traditional massage seeks to establish a harmonious flow of qi, or energy, throughout the body. It does so by brushing, kneading, rolling and rubbing areas of the body while stimulating acupressure points between the joints. Since pain is considered to be caused by a lack of free-flowing qi and blood, Chinese massage treatment creates movement and is therefore seen as a powerful and effective treatment for pain relief. Massage therapy is also beneficial for those suffering

from work-related stress. Foot reflexology is based on a system of reflex areas that are an approximation of the body’s anatomy, the idea being that working on the feet will cause a physical change to the body. Feet help set the body’s tension level, making foot reflexology an easy way of interrupting stress signals and resetting equilibrium. Cupping therapy uses cups to create localised pressure by way of a vacuum. This causes the blood to

form in the area and instigate healing. Cupping also helps release toxins in the body. As a special opening offer, Lansell Tai Ji are offering a 20 per cent off all massage rates from Monday to Friday. Or buy one and get one free for a 45 minutes massage at the weekend. Special offers end July 31. Open seven days, Tai Ji is at Shop 27, Centro Lansell Shopping Centre, next to the Post Office. Phone 5447 4000.

As well as practical ideas and hints to help with looking after partners, the group enjoys an active social calendar with regular day and even overnight trips. They also provide practical and comforting advice to those facing the responsibility of regularly caring for a loved one.

ANY people ask, what is Bowen Therapy? It is a gentle technique performed over muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerve bundles. Moves or activations are applied across a specific area of the body having a profound effect of healing and relaxation. In an authentic Bowen session, there are a set of moves, then the therapist will leave the body to rest for a couple of minutes before resuming. Bowen therapy isn’t massage, Bowen massage, Bowen rubs or continual moves. Bowen isn’t performed with a mixture of Bowen moves and massage or other combinations. Bowen has an antiinflammatory affect on the body, adding anything else will eliminate the therapeutic effects of Bowen Therapy. By adding anything else to Bowen, it can confuse the brain and body leaving the client feeling ill with the treatment useless. Some people get off the massage table feeling a million dollars, for some it can take a day or two or even a few treatments especially if the medical problem is chronic, before starting to feel better. Many people therefore claim that Bowen Therapy

HE Youth Justice Group Conferencing Program at CentaCare gives young offenders a chance to make up for what they have done. Jason never really knew his Dad, who died when Jason was three, which resulted in his mum struggling with her loss and depression. Jason left school early but secured an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker and had earned the reputation of being a diligent worker. In the third year of his apprenticeship he moved out of home and got employment with a different employer. Around this time relationship difficulties emerged with his girlfriend along with difficulties with his new employer. He started to drink to get away from it all and it was at this point he committed the offences. Drunk he broke into a house next door to his mother’s, helping himself to food and alcohol before picking up the spare keys to a van in the driveway. Jason reversed out the driveway, crashed it into a car across the street and fled the scene. When approached by police, and presented with the evidence,

he accepted what he had done. The victims were his mother’s neighbours, who had been kind to him in the past and he felt devastated. The police advised him to have no contact with his neighbours for fear of making matters worse. He wanted to apologise, to make things better but felt ashamed.

Each party spoke openly to each other about the incident and the impact on their lives. “I was just so hurt that you didn’t come over and apologise when it happened. I thought you thought more of us than that. If you had done that, I think things would have been much better,” a neighbour said. Jason repeatedly apologised and spoke openly about his shame and fear about how they would react, and fear of making things worse. Neighbours from the street discussed what else might help to

What’s New in 2011: There have been changes to tax legislation which may affect you, such as tax deductions for natural disaster donations, tax exemptions as a result of recent natural disasters and changes that affect Newstart, Youth allowance, Austudy or ABSTUDY recipients.

TEWARTS ACCOUNTANTS is one of 72 accountancy practices across Australasia that has been awarded the Proactive Accountants Network logo. The move will see small business clients being offered more than just the usual, compliance tick-box services by their accountants. “Local businesses savvy enough to employ us will be better prepared and less stressed because we’re proactive,” Stewarts director Garry Murdoch said. “Proactive Accountants Network provides us with the support and intellectual property in terms of process to ensure quality of delivery and innovation of services. This translates to money saved for clients and a more positive result for all.” Proactive Accountants Network CEO Rob Nixon said he designed the network to ensure member accountants were offering the best possible service and a genuine, cost effective alternative.

“Many firms are typically reactive ‘history writers’ acting as the government’s hand maiden. These guys provide their clients with the bare minimum,” Rob said. “Most firms do not visit or proactively call their clients, they do not make an effort to build lasting relationships with their clients, they do not offer a fixed price up front and they want to charge for every six minutes of time,” Garry said. Branches of some mid-tier firms along with sole practitioners, and multi-partner firms have all joined forces, giving the Proactive Accountants Network an initial combined annual turnover of more than $128 million.

SPORTSHORTS

Tributes from Toby NEWLY appointed president of the Bendigo Mountain Bike Club, Toby Parkinson, has paid tribute to the tireless efforts of former committee members and their contribution to the sport. Mr Parkinson said two of the club’s founders, John Harvey and Murray Willet, had stood down from their respective president and vice president positions after many years of working for the club. ‘’Both Murray and John have been responsible for being the major parties in building our club to the successful club that it is today,’’ he said. ‘’Their input will be sorely missed as the club enters a new chapter of

its life.’’ Mr Parkinson said that for the few years he had been involved in the committee, he had been worried about the day Mr Harvey decided that enough is enough. ‘’John has carried the club on his shoulders by being more than just a president; he has committed a lot of his life to

“John has carried the club on his shoulders” Mr Parkinson said he was excited and proud that the committee believes in him, and that he intended to do his best to support the club. He implored all members to consider

the club,” he said. ‘’John has filled the position far beyond what is required as a president and certainly leaves a big pair of cycling shoes to fill.’’

PROUD: Toby Parkinson. what they could do to give back to the club to help improve the organisation. He said it is important to ensure that the rest of the committee does not get left with too much work.

Finding the freedom in cycling OBSESSIONS – we all have them in varying degrees, ranging from the excessive compulsive to the other end of the scale. Weight loss and control has become an obsession, not such a bad focus to have if the aim is healthy living. The TV reality shows started off with a focus on the reduction of weight being the main goal. There is no doubt there is now a subtle shift to the holistic view of the mind and heart having to be in order to achieve goals of any kind. The focus on sorting out relationships, first with self and then others is played out on screens, right in our living rooms. With commitment and desire of heart and mind, regular exercise and a regulated diet, starting to lose weight becomes more than just a weight loss goal but a lifestyle change that can be sustained. The main factor has to be commitment to change as without a

WEIGHTY ISSUE: But is the bike the burden?

strong commitment there is no foundation to build on. As cyclists we have seen not only weight loss for the body but also the bikes we ride becoming an obsession. The frames have come through many amazing changes of materials and there have been considerable changes to the weight and strength

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 22, 2011

frames. To the point where for competition there has been imposed a minimum weight of no less than six kilograms. It is reputed some frame makers are faced with how to add weight to keep within the allowed limitations. The obsession of some cyclists has become deceptive in that their quest to have the lightest bike frame, the quickest set of wheels and tyres, when their body weight may still be the real issue in power per weight ratio.

There is no doubt that hill climbing is where this is most obvious – the lighter the bike and body the greater chance of getting up the hill faster and more easily. I wonder how many people carry a weight of unresolved anger or frustration. We all recognise that cycling can free us from day to day burdens and 10-15 minutes into a ride our minds are clear and we become quite relaxed. As cyclists we are confronted with shared road users that don’t cope with the seconds it can take to wait to get around us on the road. Do we as cyclists have similar attributes where our tolerance off the bike is not much better? Want to do better on and off the bike? Make sure you are not carrying these hidden burdens, choose to make cycling an obsession until you find real freedom. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing

FOOTY UPSET

NETBALL TIGHT

MARYBOROUGH caused one of the upsets of the Bendigo Football Netball League’s senior football season on the weekend, defeating perennial powerhouse South Bendigo. The Borough kicked seven goals to five in the second half to win 11.14.80 to 8.14.62 at Princess Park. Matthew Bond kicked four goals for the winners. A six-goal-to-two second half saw Eaglehawk down Strathfieldsaye by six points at Canterbury Park. Sandhurst defeated Kangaroo Flat by 39 points and Castlemaine had a strong 78-point win over Kyneton. In the battle between the top two, Golden Square defeated Gisborne 18.15.123 to 13.6.84. Next round, two matches are a highlight over the split round. Sandhurst will take on Maryborough at the QEO in the battle for sixth place tomorrow. Gisborne will host Eaglehawk in the other match of the round next Saturday. Ladder-leaders Golden Square should decimate cellar-dwellers Kyneton at Kyneton tomorrow, Strathfieldsaye hosts Kangaroo Flat and South Bendigo is at home to Castlemaine next Saturday.

THE top four of the Bendigo Football Netball League’s senior netball competition is squashed, after leaders Golden Square were defeated on the weekend. The Square went down to fourthplaced Gisborne 28-42. There are only six points between the top four sides. The other top-four teams – Eaglehawk and Sandhurst – had comfortable wins. The Dragons defeated Kangaroo Flat 46-32, and Eaglehawk accounted for Strathfieldsaye 50-22. South Bendigo scraped home in a thriller against Maryborough 36-35. Round 14 will be split over two weeks, with Strathfieldsaye hosting Kangaroo Flat and Sandhurst taking on Maryborough tomorrow. South Bendigo hosts Castlemaine and Gisborne hosts Eaglehawk next Saturday.

THUNDER STRIKES BENDIGO Thunder took second spot from Lalor when the two sides met at Dower park in Round 13 of the VWFL’s North West Conference on the weekend. The Thunder won 4.4.28 to Lalor’s 1.6.12 in wintery conditions. The Thunder kept Lalor scoreless in the first half of the match, kicking 3.2 themselves. “Knowing that we have the fitness to finish off strong, we went into the second half confident that we could hold out, but Lalor really stepped up the pace in the second half,” coach Russell Jeffrey said. “If they capitalised on even a couple of their shots at goal, we were in serious trouble.” Lalor only scored three points, but still managed to outscore Bendigo, who only managed two points in the third quarter. “Lalor are a strong, physical side with some great players, they really knocked our girls around so it has done us a lot of good having a game like this heading into the finals,” Jeffrey said. The win against Lalor cemented the Thunder in second spot on the ladder behind North Ballarat, with only one game left of the season. The Thunder will take on North Ballarat in the final game of the year in Ballarat on Sunday. Last time they played, the Thunder lost by four points. “It’s great to be in this position in our first season, we have had a taste of where we want to be, we just have to continue to work hard to attain it,” Jeffrey said.

DERBY DATE ROLLS ON BENDIGO’S Dragon City Derby Dolls, or the Chiko Rollers as they are known, will host their first home ground bout next month. August 27 has been named as the date and the Bendigo Exhibition Centre at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds is the venue for what has been termed the “Carnival of Carnage”.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

A new situation may bring up old anger at this time. It is important to leave dark energies, such as the desire for revenge, in the past. You do not need to prove anything now. It is possible that you will accidentally slip into old language and behavior that is no longer appropriate for you. Set it aside as soon as you hear yourself.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

Cancer (June 21 - July 21): This week you may sense a kind of agitation that seems to have no real identity. Something in your environment is reminiscent of an old irritation. If you are troubled by an old angry demon, be aware that it is looking for a fresh perspective. Work it out with a heavy project, or write it out in a journal and consider how time has altered your attitude.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): This is a good week to concentrate on a challenging mental project. It will work better for you if you are revising, editing, or itemising details. If you are producing a creative work, you are likely to be overly critical of the outcome. The Inner Critic may advise, but it should not be allowed to condemn your efforts.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

You may not be feeling quite comfortable with yourself this week. It appears your mind is in conflict with your feelings. Do the best you can to deal with this issue up front, perhaps by journaling or discussing it with a friend. Keep in mind that it is not a mandate for you to settle the dilemma right now.

The sun returns “home” to your sign this week. You likely will find it to be energising. Now is the time to focus on new plans for this next year of your life. Take a fresh look at where you want to direct your energy. Use this month to let go of past hurts and take a deep breath of renewing energy.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

This week brings a drama with your significant other that does not even really belong in that department. Your ego may be a bit bruised, but the real wound happened long ago. It is not fair to demand that your partner compensate for injuries of your childhood.

2207

Your imagination could go overboard this week and you might be overly reactive to imagined slights. Double check on facts, data, and directions that come your way. Make a special effort to keep up with keys, tickets, and other small items. Part of your mind is in outer space.

You are in the midst of a several week period in which many will feel compelled to revisit the past in some way. Old issues of resentment and anger may resurface for a better cleansing. A helpful ritual in these times is to clean out closets, eliminate useless items, and organise clutter.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): This is a very good time to stay out of your significant other’s way. He or she is experiencing an old anger from the past and may be projecting it on you. It is possible that you did accidentally trip the other’s trigger. Things will work better in the end if you respond with equanimity rather than anger.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19): The probability is that you are still basking in the positive fallout from a Jupiter trine that was exact the first week of this month. It promised good things in the departments of romance, creative ventures, and children. Travel or vacation plans pursued during July are also favorable. Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): This is not your smoothest week. Details may nag your mind and your time like pecking ducks. You and significant others are not having the best of communications right now. You may be in the mood to nit-pick others. Probably you will feel generally better if you work alone. Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

No matter how well meaning you are, others may misunderstand and be offended. The issue is over ego. If the other needs to cling to it, let it be. You have a grasp of the big picture and many around you cannot fly in the ethers with you or understand your perspective.

IT is a spectacle that promises to grow. The world’s finest snooker players converged on Bendigo for the Goldfields Open this week. It’s been estimated $100,000 has been brought into the local economy, and with the event now booked for the next two years, it, and Bendigo, will continue to prosper. ABOVE LEFT: Rory McLeod.

Miners push win streak to seven BENDIGO’S rugby union team the Fighting Miners stretched their winning sequence to seven against the Deniliquin Drovers with a hard fought 32-17 win at Shadforth Park on Saturday. After the Miners established a 15-0 lead, the Drovers fought back to a three-point deficit with tries late in the first half and early in the second. Then the Miners, with wind assistance, established a level of superiority scoring three more tries and conceding only one to run out comfortable winners on the scoreboard. The scoreline flattered the Miners somewhat as the Drovers contested the forward encounters with great physicality and some of their running in the backline exposed frailties in the Miners’ defence. Outstanding for Bendigo were prop Nicki Poingdestre and five-eighth Johneen Fagavao. Despite being hampered by a knee injury, Poingdestre played the full 80 minutes and scored two tries from hit-ups after tap penalties near the Drovers’ line. In addition, his scrummaging was good and his ripping in the mauls won several turnovers for the Miners. He was judged to be the Ty-

son’s Reef Hotel player of the day. Fagavao was instrumental in the try scored by centre Paula Maka in the 10th minute and that of winger Isaia Taulapapa in the 46th minute when he penetrated the Deniliquin defence and put his support players away with pinpoint passes. Others to play well for the Miners included the Tuitupou brothers Lyndon and Elson, Shane McGrail, Phil Thomas, Steve MacDonald and Isaia Taulapapa. The win leaves Bendigo in third place on the competition ladder, two points behind Border Army. These two teams meet at Bandianna, Wodonga next Saturday in what promises to be a challenging assignment for the Miners.

Juniors follow the lead AFTER surrendering a 10-point half-time lead, the Fighting Miners Juniors rallied to score two tries in the last 10 minutes to record their first ever win, against the Wyndham City Rhinos at Shadforth Park last Saturday. Playing against the wind in the first half, the Miners scored three unconverted tries through flanker Trent Robson, half-back Nathan Sheppard and hooker James McKelvey while conceding a single try to the Rhinos. The half-time lead of 15-5 evaporated early in the second period as the Rhinos scored two tries, one of which was converted to go to

a 17-15 lead. From this point forward, the Miners lifted their intensity and dominated field position and possession. However, the Rhinos’ defence held firm until Bendigo captain Ryan Spedding penetrated with an elusive run to put the Miners in front with ten minutes remaining. Bendigo’s final try was scored by Sheppard, now playing in the centre, when a Bendigo player leapt high to gather a kick and off-loaded to Sheppard who scored between the posts. The final score was Bendigo 29 to Wyndham City 17.

Goldfields Open is on cue to line pockets in Bendigo next year

By BEN CAMERON

THE Goldfields Open has been great for the city, but next year’s event will be twice as good. That’s the belief of City of Greater Bendigo major events manager John Rossi, with Bendigo set to host the event for the next two years. Mr Rossi said $100,000 had been pumped into the local economy through accommodation bookings, and crowds have been promising, despite a shortage of time to organise and promote the event. “I would expect it (crowd numbers and economic figures) to double next year,” he said. “We’ll have more time to promote the event. This year was just about getting it up and running.” Council has been liaising with local snooker clubs over plans to

bring a regional or Victorian championship to Bendigo, in the leadup to the Goldfields Open next year. “The crowds were down a little bit in the early stages,” Rossi said. However over 1000 people will watch the semi finals and grand final over the weekend at Bendigo Stadium, with all tickets sold. “According to our numbers the crowd is a 50/50 split between locals and visitors,” he said. World number 19 Mark Davis of Hastings, in England has been very impressed with how the Bendigo Stadium has come up. “The crowds have been good, the facilities brilliant,” he said. “In fact the table I won my first game on was one of the best tables I’ve played on. “I’m looking forward to spending a few days in Bendigo and Melbourne away from the tables.”
