FOUR former mayors have backed a petition calling for an independent public review of the City of Greater Bendigo council.

David Jones, Daryl McClure, Laurie Whelan and Norm Quin have thrown their support behind the review, which seeks improvement in the council and the way it runs.

Mayors back council review

is the brainchild of community activists Ted Coleman and Michael McKenzie.

Mr Coleman said an open and transparent review was needed to realign council with the community. “From time to time, good organisations have a look at themselves and restructure,� he said. “It has been six or seven years since the last council restructure,

and with the new ward system coming in at the next election this is an opportune time. “It is time to be bold and open.

We want to draw a line under the past and give council an opportunity to move forward and seek positive ideas to strengthen council.�

Mr Coleman said the review was not politically motivated and was not negative.

“There is an element of concern in the community at large with council,� he said. “However, we are also saying there are some good things they are doing. “This is not a witch hunt. It is an honest effort to see where council is at and how it can be improved.�

Mr Coleman said the review would be split up into two parts –

an internal and public review. “The internal review would have to be done by someone external from council,� he said. “Council is very good at reviewing itself. “The review needs to sit down with the council and ratepayers.

Let’s all get together.

TWO more multi-storey apartment developments have been lodged with the City of Greater Bendigo council as its medium-density policies gain momentum.

The Bendigo Weekly can reveal plans for a $2 million, 29-apartment development at 443 High Street, Golden Square have been lodged with the City of Greater Bendigo council.

Another development, four apartments up to threestoreys high in the Park View Hotel car park on View Street, has also been lodged.

The High Street development, which goes through to Panton Street, may attract controversy: it comprises one three-storey building housing 18 one-bedroom apartments, a two-storey building housing six two-bedroom apartments and a two-storey building housing five two-bedroom apartments.

Developers have indicated a need for affordable housing in the area. “Our aim is to provide affordable medium to highdensity one and two-bedroom apartments,� the application said.

The site includes a number of houses and vacant land. “The intention is to com-

pletely clear the site,� the application said.

Overall, there will be six buildings on the site.

The other building up for review is on the corner of View and Rosalind streets.

The site was sold along with the hotel and motel earlier this year. The plans include one two-storey and three three-storey apartments next to the heritage-listed hotel.

The $850,000 terraced townhouse-style apartments,

called Arts on View, aims to be inspired by other View Street architecture such as the Capital theatre.

Victory for learning Bendigo Ahead

By ANTHONY RADFORD

DEMAND for diversity in the city’s education sector is behind the establishment of Bendigo’s newest VCE provider.

As revealed at www.bendigoweekly.com.au on Monday, Victory Christian College is set to expand its Prep-to-10 curriculum to Years 11 and 12.

Victory applied to the City of Greater Bendigo council earlier this month to turn a former church site on Wattle Street into a campus for students from Years 10 to 12.

When it comes on board fully in 2014, it will be Bendigo’s fourth VCE school, alongside

DEMAND: Victory Christian College principal Anne Marie Rodgers.

Girton Grammar, Catholic College and Bendigo Senior Secondary College.

Victory principal Anne Marie Rodgers said the expansion was

a response to demand from parents.

“A couple of years ago our board decided to expand to Years 11 and 12 in our 10-year plan,” she said.

“Because of rapid growth we have decided to push that forward.”

Year 11 students will begin at the school’s existing Strathdale campus in 2013.

If everything goes to plan, students will start at Wattle Street at the beginning of the 2014 school year.

“We chose Wattle Street because it was close to other secondary school providers,” she said.

“There are bus stops nearby and we are part of the trades training consortium with other schools so it is convenient.

“It works really well.”

Mrs Rodgers said the school

was liked because of its small class sizes.

The school has only one class at each year level, but will move to two Year 7 and 8 classes next year.

“At the most we will have two classes of Year 10, 11 and 12, which will mean about 150 students on that site,” she said.

“This is really exciting. We are looking forward to having quality courses with small class sizes.”

The majority of the existing buildings at Wattle Street have heritage value and will be retained and refurbished into classrooms and staff rooms.

Part of the facade of the buildings will be restored.

Bendigo’s education sector is bursting at the seams. In August, the Marist Brothers announced they will build a new secondary school at Maiden Gully.

will also provide trade exhibitors, and Sunday morning will see a craft and farmers market onsite, and the continuation of the driving events and indoor displays throughout the day.

From Page 1 “That is something that might leave some council directors flummoxed.”

Mr Jones said he welcomed the review.

“There needs to be a bit of structural change within the way council goes about its business, from an administration point of view,” he said.

“Change needs a catalyst and I don’t see that decision being made by councillors. It is difficult for them to do that.

“It is not a massive vote of no-confidence in council. It is a massive opportunity. Why not?

“There can only be positive outcomes.”

Mayor Rod Fyffe played a straight back to the proposal.

“I haven’t looked at it in detail,” he said.

“Council will write a report on it, like we would do for any proposal like this.

“We will take it seriously and provide a proper and considered response.”

Outpouring on drains Last week’s stories on the diversion of cash away from council drainage works has caused a stir.

What’s more it seems the problems are not isolated with many residents sharing similar problems

Your comments COMPLAINTS UNHEARD

BENEFITS FOR SELECT FEW

IN answer to the Bendigo Weekly’s article on drainage in the Bendigo district, we have been complaining for many years without results.

Our problem has been severe flooding of our yard and under the house from Taylor Street, Golden Square.

There is only one drainage inlet for the whole of Taylor Street. The water detours across Mackenzie Street West, then floods down our driveway and yard, flooding the garage and washing soil away, and flows gradually under our fence to the creek.

It would be impossible to exit the yard while it is flooding.

We have spoken to council many times, also to our councillor.

The cost to fix the problem was quoted as $35,000 but the money is used in Bendigo not to fix outer area problems.

Norman and Marie Freeman, Golden Square

AT least on the subject of insufficient funds for upgrade of the drainage network, Lisa Ruffell is right.

Our council is spending our rates like a drunken sailor.

I am one of those residents whose property got flooded.

All those arty farty projects that our rates stump up, are usually of benefit to the select few. When we have fixed all the existing needs for our community, then perhaps we can look at these elitist projects.

As we know, our council can’t walk and chew at the same time, so let us concentrate on the more basic needs first.

Karl Helper, Flora Hill

COUNCIL ACCOUNTABLE FIRSTLY can I say I commend Mr Fuzzard from the City of Greater Bendigo council for his honesty in relation to the now $40m drainage repair problem the city faces.

Since it has nearly doubled within the past six months one would have to wonder what it will be in another 12 months if this council sits on its hands and does nothing.

It is all fine and dandy to say let’s build a multi-deck car park, that no one wanted.

Then there is the money being spent hand over fist for both the arts venues, and don’t forget the sporting ovals.

Surely this council must have sat down with all these projects on the table and prioritised what needed doing first.

That would have to be the drainage, I would have thought, so why did they only allocate $3m for a project that at that stage was just over $20m?

Yes, it is nice to have all the glitter but when your home gets flooded or a life is lost then the council must be held accountable because they have been forewarned about the dire problem.

Robert K Smallpage, Huntly

SHAKE THE BIG STICK CR Ruffell you are spot on.

It is the management trying to build their profiles up and not looking at our future when they toddle off to another position in another council and leave their mess behind.

Time to shake the big stick and let’s get some action on these drains.

Web comment from Leafy Green Trees

WE would like to support the view that the council has got its funding priorities wrong.

We live in Aitken Street Kangaroo Flat, and along with neighbours, have to suffer serious storm water drainage problems following any major downpour.

We find the pipes along the rear easement are insufficient to carry the build-up of water and as a result our backyard floods and water enters our home. We have repeatedly reported this to council and their engineers have inspected and agree the pipes are inadequate.

Their response is “We would like to fix the problem by enlarging the old pipes but we do not have any money to carry out the works.”

We support any action which can influence the council to adopt a more common-sense approach to funding priorities.

SPECIAL

A LONG-TIME White Hills resident has described the drainage problems in Bendigo as a “laughing stock”.

Howard Walker told the Bendigo Weekly that his front yard became a mini lake every time there was a heavy downpour, due to a drainage pit outside his property that is far too small, and not maintained.

“The water floods into my shed, and I have to sweep it all out,” he said. “It’s pushed my fence backwards and made the footpath uneven.”

He said City of Greater Bendigo councillor Lisa Ruffell had come out to his property to inspect his property after

“She’s been out here after a heavy rain, she’s got her feet wet, but we’ve got nowhere,” he said.

“It’s a laughing stock.”

He said he received a letter a few years ago the problem would be fixed next year. “(But) I just got another letter saying it won’t be done until at least 2013,” he said.

“Come 2013 they’ll be saying it won’t be done until 2016.”

It’s showtime

PREPARATIONS for the annual lighting of the Downtown Bendigo Christmas Tree in Rosalind Park on Friday, December 2 are well under way. Choirs are practising, entertainers lined up and Santa organised.

City of Greater Bendigo mayor Rod Fyffe said the lighting of the tree is a special annual event for families throughout Bendigo to mark the countdown to Christmas.

“Construction of the Christmas tree will commence before the end of November in preparation for an evening of fun, entertainment and all things Christmas,” he said.

On December 2 the festivities will start at 6pm with roving entertainment throughout Rosalind Park and in Sidney Myer Place, and a range of carnival rides for the kids in support of the Bendigo Health Foundation.

Roving entertainment will be provided by local characters.

At 7.30pm there will be performances by Bendigo’s own Alana and Courtney Conway and the Bendigo Primary School Christmas Choir – a choir that has come together especially for this event.

“There will also be a very special visit from

Santa which is sure to delight the young and the young at heart,” Cr Fyffe said.

As darkness falls at about 9pm the lights on the Bendigo Christmas tree will be switched on .

“It’s shaping up to be a very special night and I’m looking forward to kicking off the countdown to Christmas with local families and members of the community,” Cr Fyffe said.

“I encourage everyone to bring along a picnic and find a spot on the grass in Queen Victoria Gardens or Rosalind Park and enjoy this free family event.”

Decorations herald a Bendigo Christmas IT is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Christmas decorations are beginning to appear throughout the City of Greater Bendigo to herald the arrival of the festive season.

Mayor Rod Fyffe said, as always, parts of the municipality will be decorated to celebrate Christmas and encourage residents and local businesses to get into the Christmas spirit.

“This year there will be decorations on light poles in View Street, Mitchell Street, Charing Cross and the Golden Square, Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk, Elmore and Heathcote shopping centres,” he said.

“There will also be decorations in the Hargreaves Mall, on the front of the City of Greater Bendigo Council offices in Lyttleton Terrace and the Bendigo and Eaglehawk Town Halls.”

Cr Fyffe said council had also bought new decorations for Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk and Heathcote.

“Kangaroo Flat will have a new Christmas scene installed on the roof of a building at the

Bendigo benefits as buyers flee high Melbourne house prices

Housing market up

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO’S new housing market is going gang busters, providing a great foil for the depressed Melbourne market.

Two of the city’s largest property developers have reported almost unprecedented interest in their house and land packages.

Villawood Properties executive officer and former local, Rory Costelloe, said places like Bendigo continued to set the benchmark for sales success.

He said as people flee Melbourne’s outskirts, they look to Bendigo in search of a more affordable future.

Mr Costelloe said he had witnessed a surge in Villawood’s Bendigo projects, especially in the past six months.

After a slow start, the company’s Akin’s Ridge Estate has taken off.

The first stage of the Golden Square development took “quite a while” to sell, Mr Costelloe said, but stages two and three sold within a year, and the entire project is now sold out.

Mr Costelloe said Eaglewood Estate at Eaglehawk was another

board and another four on hold.

“This pent-up demand for land over the past six months has exceeded Villawood’s expectations and indicates a strong regional pull as buyers leave metropolitan Melbourne in search of greener pastures.”

Demand has increased and there are only five out of 33 lots still available in the last stage example of high demand.

“It was another slow starter, however in the past six months demand has increased and there are only five out of 33 lots still available in the last stage,” he said.

“And the recently released The Range estate launched in the second week of October with already five sales on the

Another property development company, Simonds Homes, is also experiencing strong growth with its large Evergreen Waters development at Jackass Flat.

Sales manager Nick Ellis said things were progressing well.

“In our first four stages we released over 70 Lots with only seven remaining available.

IRONBARK ROAD WORKS HAVE STARTED ROAD construction works on Ironbark Road are now under way.

The works, which started on Tuesday, are part of a $1.8m project to widen Ironbark Road between Don and Barnard streets to a four-lane divided road.

Once works are completed, the extra lanes will help improve travel time and safety in Bendigo.

Works are expected to be completed by the end of February next year.

“It is a great result,” he said.

“Progress here has been moving swiftly which we’re all very pleased about. ”Our first allocation in zone one is for 344 homes, and then in zone two we will have a further 372 residences.

“All these people moving in to the area can only have a positive effect.”

Mr Costelloe said the Bendigo market was strong.

“When I started Villawood in Bendigo back in 1989, Melbourne’s property market was suffering from a massive price correction, however Bendigo remained somewhat immune to Melbourne’s excessive ebbs and flows,” he said.

“Traditionally, regional Victoria tends to perform well in times like these as regional locations don’t experience the highs or the lows and ultimately the crashes that are likely to affect the metro market.”

JOINING IN THE PROCESS PRESIDENT of the Legislative Council of the Victorian Parliament, Bruce Atkinson, and senior parliamentary officials, will visit Bendigo on Monday to begin preparations for next September’s regional sitting of parliament.

Mr Atkinson said the Bendigo sitting on September 6 next year would coincide with the Legislative Assembly sitting in Ballarat, and was part of the Parliament’s program of involving more people in the democratic process.

Open day a health fundraiser TWO of Bendigo’s most stunning gardens will be open to the public on Sunday.

Nanga Gnulle at 40 Harley Street, Bendigo and Penwinnick at 5 Harkness Street, Quarry Hill, will open from 10am to 4pm to raise money for youth mental health support.

Locals will also be entertained with live music at both gardens, with wine sales and Devonshire teas at Nanga Gnulle.

Those visiting Penwinnick can also enjoy wine tasting and a display of classic cars and motorcycles.

Entry is $10 for anyone over 15, with all money going to youth mental health foundation Headspace and St Luke’s Bendigo.

ENDING ON A HIGH NOTE THE Bendigo Symphony Orchestra performs its final concert for the year on Sunday, featuring orchestral classics as well as a rarely heard violin concerto from the 1940s.

For this concert, the BSO returns to Forest Street Uniting Church. The performance starts at 2.30pm, and will be followed by afternoon tea.

Tickets are $20 with school students admitted free of charge.

Musicmakers sing the blues

By BEN CAMERON

Scouts make a splash THE 1st Eaglehawk Scouts hope to clean up at a novel fundraiser to help them go to the 2013 Jamboree in Maryborough, Queensland.

Most scouts will only have one chance to experience a Jamboree and it’s an event not to be

missed.

They will meet thousands of scouts from all over Australia and overseas.

Their 10 days will be action packed and lifetime memories will be made.

“It’s filled with a great mix of local and visiting talent and they’re all brilliant.”

Mr Thompson also hopes Bendigo will take ownership of the festival.

“We hope that the Bendigo community at large, in addition to the local music community, will embrace this Festival and see it as theirs – because it is,” he said.

“I only hope it can contribute, even in a small way, to the continuing development of Bendigo as an arts and music

MAKING A STAND: For the blues.

THE countdown is over.

As of last night, the inaugural Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival finally kicked off, with Bendigo stalwarts The Old Buzzard Medicine Show at the Gold Dust Lounge.

What began as a simple idea some 18 months ago will come to fruition tomorrow, when over 60 local and imported acts descend on Rosalind Park, and the city’s many watering holes, in the name of music, varying from the most gentle of acoustic folk, right through to sweaty rock ‘n’ roll.

However it’s as much about grass roots, as it is Blues & Roots.

“This is a truly grass-roots event, put together by Bendigo people, utilising as many Bendigo-based services as possible,” festival director Colin Thompson said. He’s certain the four-day event will cater to all tastes.

THE campaign for home delivery in one of Bendigo’s growing outer areas has failed.

Australia Post announced last week that mail delivery arrangements in Huntly will remain unchanged, following their polling of eligible households.

Three hundred and twelve households were sent poll forms last month, with 60 returned by residents asking for home delivery.

According to an Australia Post spokesperson,

no households returned the poll form declining home delivery, but nonreturn of the poll form is considered non-support for the change.

Time to place a gift under the tree UNITING Care’s nationwide mass of dedicated volunteers are collecting gifts for Operation Santa, the organisation’s annual Christmas appeal.

In partnership with Target, Uniting Care is again asking the community to join forces to help vulnerable families during the festive season.

Each year 24,000 volunteers support 35,000 staff across a wide range of Uniting Care services.

This year, the 20th anniversary of the grass roots gift appeal, is to be the

most ambitious to date.

Volunteers and organisers are aiming to collect more than 100,000 Christmas gifts for those in need across Australia.

“Last year’s donations were down somewhat from previous years so we are really hoping to stretch ourselves and our supporters to surpass all expectations and collect as many gifts as possible,” Uniting Care director Charles Gibson said.

“Christmas is a difficult time for many people in our community, espe-

cially when finances are under the additional stress that always comes along with the holiday season.”

Thousands of people request support services each day from Uniting Care agencies and this demand always spikes around the Christmas period.

The increasing cost of food, fuel and housing continues to place financial pressure on those who have previously not needed support.

“Day in, day out our agencies, staff and volun-

teers see families struggling to make ends meet and by the end of the year they really struggle to provide gifts for their children,” Mr Gibson said.

“The theme for this year’s Operation Santa is Spread the Joy – this is what we’re hoping to bring to people, especially children who are doing it hard this Christmas.”

Operation Santa runs to December 23. Locals are asked to put a gift under the tree or buy a gift voucher at their local Target store.

Historians concerned about study’s use of their work

Heritage report ‘misunderstanding’

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

A REPORT soon to be released by City of Greater Bendigo council will be used to justify future heritage decisions. “I think there’s been a misunderstanding about what it is�, Director Planning and Development Prue Mansfield said this week. “We are not writing a history. “This is a precursor to lead into our heritage work, to underpin the significant themes of Bendigo’s environmental history. “We will then use it to say what needs to be protected.�

Council was awarded a $20,000 Heritage Victoria grant towards a $60,000 project to create a Thematic Environmental History.

Melbourne-based consultancy Lovell Chen was engaged to write the report, currently in draft form.

Local historians are concerned the report has relied on published work without permission. “I believe they should write

their own report, and not take slabs of other people’s work,�

James Lerk said. “It leaves a very uncomfortable feeling when you see your work that are people are profiting from. “They have created a problem for themselves.�

One of the report’s authors, Anita Brady, said it is normal for

right if “that part is an important part�. According to the Australian Copyright Council, if the part is “an important, essential or distinctive part of the original material�, using it without permission may be an infringement of copyright. “We are building a body of knowledge,� Ms Mansfield said. “When things are facts and

It will mean we are not just protecting something because it is pretty or attractive, but because it’s connected to the city reports to quote from many sources. “This is standard methodology,� Ms Brady said. “I understand the sensitivities, but this is not a report published to sell. “In the final version, it is also our practice to thank those whose works we have relied on.�

Australian copyright law states that using any part of a work without permission may infringe copy-

dates, it’s not plagiarised. “Attributions are really important, and we have impressed on Lovell Chen the critical nature of acknowledging the sources.�

Ms Mansfield said the report will “build our case� for heritage protection in Bendigo. “It will mean we are not just protecting something because it is pretty or attractive, but because it’s connected to the city.�

Creek gets a clean sweep

BENDIGO Creek is receiving a much-needed cleanup thanks to a joint effort between three local agencies.

The City of Greater Bendigo, North Central Catchment Management Authority and the Dja Dja Wurrung Natural Resource Management Enterprise project have joined forces to remove litter from the stream and the embankment along two large sections of the creek.

The project will see rubbish removed from the creek from Carcoola Drive in Kangaroo Flat to Maple Street, Golden Square and from Bayne Street to Howard Street, Epsom.

Council Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said the scope of the works is significant and could take up to three weeks to complete. “This year the council has received a number of complaints about the amount of litter and de-

Bendigo Weekly

Ben Jones and

Anthony Radford

Ben – It’s the local you know, 3BO. Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford is here with us today. In the lead up to Christmas there is always plenty of news about.

We’ll start with a story you guys broke on Monday, before a few others got on board with it. Victory Christian College has some exciting news as far as education locally is concerned.

Anthony – We broke this one at www. bendigoweekly.com.au on Monday. Victory is going to expand to Years 11 and 12 in a few years, on a new campus in Wattle Street, the former History Makers’ Church.

It is great news for students, parents and the whole community, in that it will allow the city to continue its growth.

Ben – I think it’s great, and I think if these things are done properly and professionally, and, of course the shared resources that are involved, I think the more the better. As long as it is all done well and the education remains at that right level, it gives an option for parents and is another avenue for their kids’ education.

Anthony – That option word is very, very important. The Marist Brothers are also going to build a secondary campus at Maiden Gully soon. Victory has said their current campus is bursting at the seams.

There is obviously a need for it and this is something that all the community and the entire education sector in Bendigo will welcome.

Ben – From education we move to sport.

A big signing for the Bendigo Braves. Their latest import, good luck pronouncing his name, Deilvez Yearby. Sounds like he is a fair player, and you have seen a lot of footage of him.

Anthony – Yes, on our website we have a video of his highlights, and I tell you, there are a few of them. He can play. He is fantastic in and under, he loves to dunk, and he can shoot from the three-point area. I think this bloke will be a star. Like most imports, he comes with a fair bit of a reputation and expectation, but this bloke looks like he can deliver and help the Braves take the next step in the coming season.

Against populist vote I READ with much interest your Viewpoint column, (Bendigo Weekly, November 4) on the question as to whether our mayor should be elected by a populist vote.

I cannot feel such a move would be in the greater interest of the city.

The City of Greater Bendigo covers a large area, and I wonder how many of our residents have actually met, and had conversations with, all nine of our councillors, and feel they know them personally; if they have not, a choice would be difficult to make.

We do not have a populist vote for either the Premier of our state, or our Prime Minister... State and country are led by the person voted by the political party currently in power to lead them.

Why then, can we not trust our nine elected councillors to vote for the one among them considered to be most capable of leading the city for the forthcoming year?

After all, it is they who work together, discuss matters affecting the city both at the present time and into the future, and they surely know who among them would best be able to ensure council is able to carry through projects planned for the forthcoming 12 months.

Councillors have already been elected by residents of their wards to represent them. I would not like to think our councillors would then need to “electioneer” again to become mayor.

Also I feel (and hope) that when the time comes to elect a new mayor, our councillors are more honourable than to do the “backroom deals” referred to in your column (the mental picture conjured up of nine councillors meeting in twos and threes behind closed doors, wheeling and dealing, is almost amusing – if the thought were not so serious).

Weed worry

No Fair on Good Friday

CURRENT weed eradication from White Hills creek opposite White Hills cemetery commenced this week without any resident consultation.

Crews are currently felling large natives and other trees which provide habitat to birds and small marsupials.

If the crews continue in this fashion the waterway would become a large drain with nothing to slow any flood flows.

If they were serious about weed eradication they would be visiting the green belt three to four times a year.

Until this week, the council has managed to cut the grass twice in two years.

Since when are trees weeds – especially natives.

Name and address supplied

ALTHOUGH the Easter Fair will never be the same without the street stalls and popular girls, I suppose we must move on.

If it is absolutely necessary to cut the Easter Fair down could it now be held on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. There are many arty things that people can inspect and it would allow tourists a leisurely drive here.

Friday belongs to the dedicated church people.

Dorothy Mason, Bendigo

JULIA GILLARD’S letter to the Bendigo Weekly argues that the impact of the carbon tax on families will be ‘modest’.

Clearly the Prime Minister is arguing what she would like to happen rather than what will happen when the carbon tax takes hold in winter 2012.

She can’t deny that the carbon tax will significantly increase electricity costs. The government’s own estimate is that the carbon tax

No mandate for tax

will push up electricity prices by 10 per cent and gas prices by nine per cent in the first year alone.

This is on top of significant increase in electricity prices over recent years.

According to modeling by the Centre for International Economics, the impacts of the carbon tax will also be much larger than the government’s figuring shows.

Australia’s GDP through to 2020 will be a cumulative $180 billion lower (in 2011 prices) and average household income will be reduced by a cumulative $11,360.

Julia Gillard might think these are modest impacts on Australian households, but they aren’t.

Not only will household incomes take a hit and electricity prices continue to skyrocket, but Australian jobs and exports will be under pressure from this new tax which will keep going up and up.

The carbon tax won’t even cut Australia’s emissions which the government’s own estimates say will rise by eight per cent by 2020 under the tax.

The government has no mandate for this new tax.

Readers of the Bendigo Weekly can be assured that at the next election the Coalition will seek mandate to repeal this damaging tax.

Tony Abbott, Opposition Leader

Change the eyesore AFTER a very long time I visited Bendigo again.

Admiring the beautiful buildings, I was devastated as I entered the mall.

Atmosphere, there was none.

What has gone terribly wrong?

If you want tourists it would quite easily be rectified.

Give people a reason to walk in the mall. Have suggestions from the people of Bendigo and surely the area could be beautifully enhanced.

May I suggest at least some greenery such as arbours with golden bouganvillea trailing over them.

Alfresco dining. A walk of fame naming great sportsmen and women from the area.

A large fake gold nugget as a centrepiece with history documented to inform people how great Bendigo was and still is.

Given the right surgery, Bendigonians you could change the eyesore and create something you would be proud of.

Let’s be honest the mall should be and could be a desirable place to visit.

Editorial Comment Gallery, Sharon Wells, the report said “high-profile guests”, such as Cathy Freeman and Mick Molloy, attended the event, organised by the Honorary Consul of Monaco for his country’s national day.

Turns out this “exclusive function” was not intended as any kind of launch for the next blockbuster at Bendigo Art Gallery. Apparently neither the gallery nor their marketing people had the slightest idea that, by inviting media, the event might possibly become a news story (along the lines of, country hicks get to rub shoulders with famous persons).

Naive, cynical, or just too busy to micro-manage their marketing details, the gallery made Bendigo look a little silly with this botched event.

Ms Freeman and Mr Molloy may well be itching to visit Bendigo to check out Grace Kelly’s frocks, but they are hardly the most important

GRAND DESIGNS: But is the gallery missing the point? people to get on board, right at the start, for the exhibition which we, the people of Bendigo, are underwriting with our taxes and our hoped-for attendance.

It’s a pity, because the perception that there are two sets of people in Bendigo – those who throw on a colourful scarf and turn up to gallery openings and the hoi polloi who only care about whether their garbage is being collected – has gradually declined.

Never mind; plenty of opportunity exists between now and the show’s opening on March 11 for the Bendigo Art Gallery to prove they haven’t become so swept up in their own success they have lost sight of their core goal: inspiring Bendigo.

We are all proud of our Bendigo Art Gallery.

The City of Greater Bendigo council has had the courage and foresight both to support the development of the buildings and to back its exhibition ambitions.

When the rest of the country asks how this happened, as though to say, in Bendigo (of all places), we are now able to sigh a little and say, of course in Bendigo.

This is a city that does culture very well because it refuses to accept second-best for its own people.

Most importantly, the art gallery represents our aspirations to nurture our young people.

A city with respected, energetic, imaginative cultural leaders creates an atmosphere where self-respect, ambition and quality become community goals.

The Bendigo Art Gallery has a big responsibility in this area, and led by director Karen Quinlan, it has carried that responsibility very well – mostly.

This week, we read in the Bendigo Advertiser, that “the much-anticipated Grace Kelly: Style Icon exhibition was launched at an exclusive function in Melbourne”.

Liberal blow from Speaker CHRISTMAS came early for both Julia Gillard and Peter Slipper yesterday.

In one of the more dramatic days in Australian politics for perhaps a decade, Slipper gave the Liberal Party the slipper, and quit the party to accept the position of Speaker of the House.

The move secures Julia Gillard a critical shift in the numbers and the opportunity for her party to at last (almost) govern in its own right.

It also delivers Peter Slipper an enormous salary increase, a prestigious office and fringe benefits over the next two years and guarantees he will become one of the most despised figures in Australian politics at the same time.

His desertion of the Liberal Party will be viewed as an act of political treachery by the conservatives; equally by his constituents in the central Queensland seat of Fisher who elected him as a Liberal Party representative in the first place.

Mr Slipper’s days as a federal MP may well have been numbered due to what was expected to be a tough upcoming pre-selection battle, but the controversial MP has seen another set of numbers and chosen to jump ship.

And while some readers may ponder the relevance of all this, I suggest this is one of the most relevant things to happen in Canberra since the minority Gillard government’s election because it could change the way government is delivered, dealt and diced to the Australian people.

But whether or not it also turns out to be an early Christmas present for the rest of us, remains to be seen.

And finally this week, a good mate of mine reputed as having the hairiest legs in Bendigo now has the smoothest.

Doug Buerger surrendered to the razor at lunchtime on Wednesday, after a group of

Bendigo cyclists successfully raised the $1000 for charity that was needed to convince the retired company director to shave down for a good cause.

Doug’s legs may have undergone a dramatic transformation, but more importantly, Radius Disability Services is $1000 better off for his efforts.

Doug and his wife Fay are shortly leaving Bendigo for the Gold Coast lifestyle they have been turning towards each winter for some years.

FOODfossickers In full bloom DON’T worry about decking your halls with boughs of holly this festive season, it’s another of those traditions not relevant in our part of the world.

For a wonderful alternative, put a vase of gorgeous peonies on your hall table, I guarantee your guests will be gushing with comments.

Peonies with their large florid, rose-like, fragrant flowers are among the world’s oldest and most romantic garden plants. Originally from China, herbaceous peonies were exchanged by Chinese boys and girls as tokens of affection as early as the sixth century. The legend is possibly the reason they are still a popular choice for bridal bouquets.

Spring Hill Peony Farm

was almost just another daffodil farm until owner Mac Barry’s grandmother, Josephine Jebor, suggested he grow peonies instead. The cool climate and rich volcanic soils of the Central Highlands suits them perfectly.

It was actually Josephine and Mac’s mother, Pam Barry, who chose the eight white and pale to deep pink varieties now in full bloom in the three acre peony paddock.

Mac and wife Nicky had to wait about five years for their plants to reach commercial quantities and this year’s cooler weather has been especially kind to both them and the flowers. “The peonies only bloom for about a six-week period,

depending on the temperature, so we have a very busy picking season,� Nicky said. “Each peony stem is cut by hand, sorted, packaged and then kept in the cool room until they are loaded up on the weekends and taken to the farmers’ markets�. “We go to all the regional and the bigger Melbourne farmer’s markets and we supply local and Melbourne florists direct.�

Nicky virtually puts her architectural practice on hold and employs a nanny for their four-year-old twins while Mac continues to commute between the farm and his Sydney workplace during picking.

They hire local helpers

and backpackers to help with the early morning workload.

At the open days last weekend the paddock was buzzing with visitors wandering between the rows, enjoying the views and fragrance before meandering down the lane with armfuls of blooms.

This weekend will be the last open days for this year when you can visit and pick your own big bunch of beautiful peony blooms.

The Spring Hill Peony Farm is off the Malmsbury– Daylesford Road on Knights Lane.

Look for the signs. The paddock will be open on Saturday and Sunday from noon until about 5 pm. – Vicki Harrington

What if I get chest pain?

By Jacki Harper, Practice manager, Central Victorian Cardiology

CENTRAL Victorian Cardiology is a keen supporter of Bendigo’s Biggest Winner, because we value heart health.

Chest pain can cause significant pain and discomfort and is a worrying symptom.

If you can get fast and accurate diagnosis of the cause, it helps to reduce the stress and worry. At Central Victorian Cardiology we encourage all patients with chest pain to immediately consult their doctor.

Your doctor may give you are referral and send you to us for a stress echo test. This is a simple, non-invasive test.

We have emergency appointments available every day for urgent stress echoes.

We take ultrasound pictures of the heart at rest and at peak exercise when the heart is racing.

We then compare these before and after pictures to see if the heart muscle function is compromised by exercise.

If there are serious concerns about your heart, your GP or a MICA paramedic may send you straight to the local emergency department, or to St John of God Hospital’s chest pain centre and cardiac angiography suite, where you can get immediate access to state-of-the art cardiac services.

The chest pain clinic at St John of God hospital provides these services for privately insured patients. All public patients should present to the Emergency department at Bendigo Health.

How will the banking reforms benefit you?

They can help you get better deals on home loans and credit cards Exit fees are now banned on new loans and some institutions have even removed these fees on existing contracts From 1 January 2012 standardised home loan fact sheets will make it easier to shop around and compare loans In the coming year reforms to credit cards will mean a fairer deal for card holders

THE 200 entrants in Bendigo’s Biggest Winner are weighing out up until this Sunday.

The individuals and workplace team members will gather at St John of God Hospital next Tuesday night for a celebration – the end of 12 weeks of working towards a healthier lifestyle.

These reforms help smaller institutions compete with big ones

Planning big for the blues

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, November 25, 2011

This weekend’s festival is an example of what can be done if you aim for the stars ALWAYS plan big.

And why not? If you’re going to the effort of dreaming up elaborate schemes, you may as well make ‘em big ‘uns.

In life we’re always planning, whether it’s on having 2.5 children, a marriage and a mortgage, to one day ordering a meal in French to impress the ladies, or to simply smile more.

As one famous dreamer said: “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans”.

And let’s face it, apart from taste in women, John Lennon was rarely wrong.

Luckily for us, a smallbut-inspired group of locals have been planning for some time now.

And most importantly, they’ve been planning big.

Real big.

But more on that in a minute.

We’re often told it’s the little things in life that are most important, like remember wedding anniversaries, or clipping excess nose hair, but sometimes it’s the big things that take precedence.

BEN CAMERON ON LIFE

The big things in life shape you as a person, and equally, the big things can help put the city you love, loudly and proudly on the map.

Here in Bendigo, events like The White Wedding Dress, Groovin The Moo and the Goldfields Snooker Open, have helped put the capital B in Bendigo.

Just as importantly, these events put a spring in your step, make you proud to call yourself a Bendigonian.

And another big event is upon us, the Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival, and its timing is pitch perfect.

Until recently, the Bendigo music scene had been reported, quite frankly, to have died in the arse.

Which was utter crap. Music has been and always will be a powerful force in this city.

It simply wasn’t being played in pubs enough, for far too long.

So the Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival, along-

JACOB MCGUFFIE

side other events such as Gigfest, have put the spring back into your dyed-in-the-wool Bendigo music lovers’ step.

It’s got them “peacocking” again.

With all due respect to lovers and curators of centuries old dresses, the BB&RMF could eventually create an even bigger buzz than the wildly successful White Wedding Dress.

I mean, the White Wedding Dress didn’t exactly cater to all tastes; it’s hardly been a case of this round my cricket club: “What are you up to after the game this weekend, Knackers?”

“Well I thought I might pop down to The Capital and take in some wedding dresses.”

“Sounds lovely, mind if I join you?”

Not to mention the words wedding and dress usually strike fear in the hearts of your average red-blooded Aussie male, but just about everybody likes music, don’t they?

Not to mention the BB&RMF will be held smack bang in the middle of Rosalind Park, most of the musicians are either local favourites or world-renowned

performers, and, most importantly for those who wouldn’t shout if a shark bit them, it’s free.

Equally, it doesn’t just cater to the hipsters, but for families too.

The BB&RMF has been a special one for the Bendigo Weekly, and so we’ve been privy to the big plans of a bunch of people, the festival organisers, who have devoted their precious time to the cause.

So if you’ve got a free couple of hours this weekend, pop into Rosalind Park and see the results of what can be

achieved when a heap of people have a crack.

You never know, it might just inspire you to Plan Big one day too.

• PlanBig.com.au was designed

by Bendigo and Adelaide Bank as a place where anyone with a plan, a project, an idea or a dream can connect with other people to find the resources, expertise and support to bring their plan to reality.

Plan Big was instrumental in getting The Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival off the ground.

PASSION, determination, conviction and a really good hat.

These are the key ingredients for a genuine blues artist, according to a man who would know, the sublime Geoff Achison.

The award-winning, gritty yet soulful blues-smith is one of the big signings for the inaugural Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival; a major coup for the fledgling festival, as Achison’s pedigree is unquestioned.

Here’s a sample: he’s represented the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, winning the coveted Albert King Award for his guitar skills.

He’s appeared on BBC radio and the cover of Blues in Britain in 2009.

He’s jammed with the iconic Les Paul in New York City and was invited to join legendary R and B vocalist Delbert McClinton on board his annual Sandy Beaches music cruise.

And in 2008, he was voted in Guitar Player Magazine as one of the Top Ten Hot New Guitarists.

Little wonder a typical Achison gig is described as a spectacle, stemming from his belief that a musician should always try to make their instrument of choice, “talk”.

“If you think about human conversation, the voices go up, they go down, raised to accentuate the point, lowered to express empathy,” he says.

“There’s no single method for achieving it but in essence, all music is wanting to communicate.”

From this sense it’s been a full on conversation for Achison for many years, dating back to the family home in Malmsbury.

It was under his parents’ stairs when he first began to speak, finding a “beat up” 1950s Bellini guitar.

“Has a Harry Potter ring to it this story doesn’t it? Achison laughs.

“It had two strings missing

and a neck shaped like a banana.

“Anyway, for the first three to four years of playing that was my axe. My mum still has it.”

It proved to be the first of many self-discoveries for “Acho”.

“There weren’t a lot of guitar players around where I grew up,” he remembers.

“I did go for a few rudimentary lessons from a guy who showed me how to tune it up and form chords.

“From there I was pretty much on my own and picked up a lot from jamming along with Freddy King records.

“It wasn’t until I was about 16 or so when music began to dominate my every waking moment.”

He gravitated towards the sound of blues, and along the way, invented some of his own techniques, without the aid of pedals or gadgets.

“I was never skilled at copying anything I heard,” he says.

“Therefore I was never any good in cover bands.

“I was however good at jamming along or coming up with my own part.

“I played jazz for a while but I struggled with the complexity of it.

“When I heard blues for the first time I instantly knew it was

where I belonged.

“It got straight to the point.

No fancy production, no fancy chords, just a rockin’ groove and plenty of space for the musicians to play it how they felt on any given moment.

“Partly perfect for my tastes but also perfect for my limited musical education.”

Achison eventually moved to Melbourne, and became the lead guitarist with blues band Dutch Tilders and The Blues Club.

Together with Alan Watson’s Jazz Band, Achison learnt the importance of ebb and flow, which is probably why his sound has been described as “delicate one minute, explosive the next”.

After five years of constant Australia-wide touring with Dutch Tilders, he broke away to create the Souldiggers – a band that would eventually pick up the Chain Blues Music Award for Group Of The Year.

“The idea was to have a name that described the music and I greatly admired the blues philosophy – tapping into one’s soul for honesty and truth,” he says.

“That’s what Souldiggers is meant to convey.”

Geoff Achison plays the Golden Vine tonight (Friday), and Rosalind Park tomorrow.

BONES BLACKWOOD HADYN DREW, aka Bones Blackwood, has become pretty much an adopted Bendigonian.

Through a series of bar rattlin’, mind blowin’, booty shakin’ shows around the city’s bars and pubs, a stack of local music lovers have developed a thing for the man simply known as “Bonesy”.

“Bones was an old primary school nickname I earned from being skinny as hell,” Bones explains.

Formally, the “Bones Blackwood Rhythm and Boogie Revue” is a rockin’ step back in time, a tour de force of 1940s and 1950s black electric rhythm and blues, boogie woogie, rockabilly and vintage rock and roll, old country blues, gospel with a touch of bluegrass.

“It’s all just back-beat music. Dancing party music. Usually with a strong swing to it,” Bones says.

The Bones show began many years ago, when his voice broke as a teenager.

“Vocally the music journey began with lead roles in primary school music productions and being a first soprano in the Australian Children’s Choir,” he says.

“Pretty funny considering how my voice sounds now after 25 years of abuse (laughs).

“But then my voice broke and I stopped singing.

“Soon I discovered the joy of dirty filthy electric guitar tones and my fate was sealed.

“I guess the inspiration was always being obsessed with wanting to be able to reproduce sounds I was hearing in my head.”

With this new thirst for old school tunes, and the states comin’ a callin’, Bones moved to Tennesse for three years, at the age of 18.

“It’s when I had my first experiences playing live,” he says.

“The tones and sounds of blues guitar and vocal phrases just had me mesmerised.

“I used to stand and stare at old black cats sitting in the street just doing their thing trying to work out how they were playing what they were playing.

“It seemed like magic because I didn’t realise they were using a different guitar tuning. To me it was the coolest thing in the world. Still is.”

Like any genuine musician, the entire Bones package has been based around a gut feeling.

“The style chose me,” he says.

“Instant gut reaction. But that’s the same for everyone. You don’t decide what music you’re going to like.”

Bones has plans on releasing some stuff on vinyl, get back to the US, and hopefully also tour Europe.

“It’s all small steps,” he says.

“The show has already grown so much in the space of two and a half years. It’s a matter of time, money and family commitments, but the dream is there.”

Bones Blackwood plays The Basement Bar tomorrow (Saturday) and the Newmarket Hotel on Sunday.

MIKE ELRINGTON

MIKE ELRINGTON is luckily a talented recording artist.

Fortunate because one day a few years ago in South Central Los Angeles, a bunch of his own CDs probably saved his life.

But more on that later.

For the man known for his blistering guitar work, gut-wrenching pipes and inventive word-smithery, the 30-year-old’s love for music, like a many of his generation, Elrington’s love of music began with 80s hitmakers Dire Straits.

“I first got involved in music as a three year-old kid when I heard ‘Money For Nothing’,“ Elrington remembers.

“I loved the sound of a guitar so much I begged my folks to turn my

make-believe guitar, a squash racquet, into a real guitar.

“Unfortunately I didn’t get that real guitar until I was 11 and then got some lessons in my last year of primary school in Adelaide.

“Music became my main focus in life after realising I couldn’t play NBA basketball or be an Olympic level rower for Australia.

“It also felt much better being a musician as opposed an athlete.”

The decision to replace the racquet with a guitar bore fruit years later when he won the High School Battle of the Bands competition in 1999, at Marryatville High School in Adelaide, before graduating to Adelaide’s premier live

music venue, The Governor Hindmarsh Hotel, where he supported many a local and interstate blues and roots acts.

A year later he moved to Melbourne, and recorded his debut solo album Too Good to be True, a mix of blues, eock and pop, overseen by ARIA award winning producer, Peter “Reggie” Bowman.

It’s a partnership that has endured, and opened the door for Elrington to establish himself in the Australian independent blues scene.

“Reggie has been an absolute dream to work with over the last eight years,” Elrington says.

Oven Genie can add that extra touch by ensuring your oven is sparkling clean when agents and buyers arrive to inspect your property.

The secret to providing such an outstanding service is restricting the number of oven cleans to be carried out

THE impact of the September 2010 and January 2011 floods in areas such as Charlton and Rochester continue to be felt by local householders and businesses as well as the various trades and professions required to deal with the damage caused by flood water.

Flood water has not only damaged floors and sub floors but has also created an invasion of white ants, which have escaped to houses on higher ground.

Fortunately, there is help at hand.

The team from GFC Reblocking, headed by Jamie Key, specialise in reblocking and repairing sub-floors, including damage caused by white ants.

While they are still available for all kinds of insurance work, their current priority is to assist people in these flood-affected communities get back into their homes and have businesses up and running again.

GFC Reblocking employ the latest technology for levelling houses and repairing sub-floors for both commercial and domestic jobs. “We can level houses, schools and shearing sheds as well as complete subfloor inspections,� Jamie said.

Calling all readers!

Floored by a great range TAGGERTS Discount Carpets and Vinyls is Bendigo’s clearance centre for a number of larger carpet mills.

Operating since 1988, Taggerts offer literally truck loads of top-grade carpets and vinyls and a great variety of floor coverings for sale, with most ranges unique to Taggerts.

Ample customer parking has room for all vehicles up to semi-trailer size, enabling all customers to call in to have a look at their great range.

Whether you are a tradesperson or an individual buyer, ask Trevor and Dora Taggert or Ed Yarrington about their house-lot deals, from three rooms to a full house.

If you want to buy wholesale, Taggerts will be able to give you a great deal on carpet rolls.

They have recently taken delivery of a quantity of Belgian wool carpet, with similar fibres to berber but in a modulated loop, meaning it wears and cleans well.

Normally retailing at $40 per sq.m uninstalled, this is on special for $40 per sq.m installed including underlay, a

“We also have some beautiful vinyls from Europe in stock at the moment, 4mm thick, with a non-slip, non-scuff polyurethane treatment which we are selling at an unbeatable $49 per sq.m installed,” Trevor Taggert said.

Taggerts stock all laying supplies such as hardboard, tapes, door trims and blades. Take a trip out to 18-20 Sandhurst Road, Eaglehawk soon.

IS there anybody out there?

A couple of weeks back a newcomer to Bendigo contacted us at the Weekly because she has heard about our Bookclub.

She had moved from another Australian city, where she had been a member of a different kind of bookclub, the reading group kind which meets regularly at a home or cafe to chat about books.

Bendigo Weekly Bookclub is an online resource.

We send out emails once a week to those who sign on, with snippets of news and comment.

But what about the real, live, get-together bookclub, how strong are they in Bendigo?

According to the Goldfields libraries’ Sue Mooney, they will soon be rolling out a program so existing bookclubs can join their library system with a bookclub membership card. With that card, a bookclub can access sets of 10 books and reading notes, for six weeks at a time.

“We will not administer or supervise clubs,” Ms Mooney says, “but existing clubs can use our collections.”

The program will launch next year, tying in with the National Year of Reading.

The Council of Adult Education in Melbourne also runs a bookclub service. There are, they tell us, 20 Bendigo-based groups, which use their service.

They are able to find a group with spots available for readers wanting to join up and you can also set up a new group.

There are information and forms available at their webiste: www.cae.edu.au.

For those who love to fossick for a bargain among pre-loved books, there’s another Friends of Bendigo Library booksale tomorrow and then December 17. Old library books culled to make room for new ones, as well as donated books, will be on sale.

CRIME WRITING SOLVED: Ms Greenwood in the library.

One of Australia’s best-read authors will be in Bendigo next week. Kerry Greenwood, author of the Phryne Fisher historic crime novels, will be at Bendigo Library on Thursday, December 1, 5.306.30pm. It’s free but you need to book on 5449 2700.

The Bendigo Weekly bookclub occasionally gifts members with books, and this week we have a Little Library to give away: including Philippa Gregory’s The Lady in the Rivers, Alberto Colitto’s Inquisition and Philip Carter’s Altar of Bones.

WHITE RIBBON DAY NOV 25

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, November 25, 2011

International Day for the Elimination of

Violence Against Women 25 November

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Say no to violence

White Ribbon Day, held today on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, provides an opportunity for all of the community to say no to violence against women, and to take an active stance through supporting violence prevention activities in the community.

White Ribbon Day also provides an opportunity for the community to learn more about this issue and to find out what services and assistance is available for all concerned.

WHAT IS FAMILY VIOLENCE?

F

AMILY violence is the repeated use of violent, threatening, coercive or controlling behaviour by an individual against a family member, or someone with whom they have, or have had, an intimate relationship.

Violent behaviour includes not only physical assaults but also threats, emotional and psychological torment, economic control, sexual assault, property damage, social isolation and behaviour which causes a person to live in fear.

Domestic and family violence happens more often than we think.

One in three Australian women will report being a victim of physical violence and almost one in five will report being a victim of sexual violence in their lifetime.

In a 2006 United Nations report, it was noted that at least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime — with the abuser usually someone known to her.

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2005) Personal Safety Survey reveals the gendered nature of domestic and family violence in Australia, with crimes

Violent behaviour includes not only physical assaults but also threats...

most often perpetrated by men against women.

Some groups of women experience higher rates of violence including indigenous Australians, the disabled, immigrants including refugees and women from rural and remote areas.

Vic Health in its 2004 report found that intimate partner violence is responsible for more ill-health and premature death in Victorian women between the ages of 15 and 45, than any other risk factor. Intimate partner violence is responsible for more of the disease burden than other well known risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking and obesity.

Violence against women also comes at an enormous economic cost. Research released by the government shows that each year violence against women costs the

nation $13.6 billion. This figure is expected to rise to $15.6 billion by 2021.

Most women who have been abused have never contacted services or police. It is important that we use every opportunity to promote the support and assistance available to women and children who have experienced violence. Equally important is the need to let men who use violence towards their family members know of the services they can turn to for assistance.

In recent years, Victoria Police have attended approximately 30,000 family violence incidents, estimated to be only the tip of the iceberg as they believe that 80 percent of women don’t report abuse.

WHAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT?

S

EXUAL assault is any sexual behaviour that causes discomfort, fear or intimidation that has not been agreed to; where physical or emotional force is used.

It can include sexual and verbal harassment, indecent exposure, unwanted touching, stalking, sexting, forced or inappropriate exposure or participation in pornography, incest, attempted rape and rape.

While men can also be sexually assaulted the vast majority of victims are women. It is often thought that sexual assault occurs randomly in our community to young women who have not been careful enough about being in a safe place, or because of the type of clothes they are wearing. However, the reality is that females of all ages from babies to the elderly are sexually assaulted. Most are assaulted by someone they know or whose care they are under. Most assaults happen in the home or in what should be a safe environment.

Many victims do not report the violence because of their fear of recrimination and impact on their family. Victims are also silenced because of their sense of shame or embarrassment, or fear they won’t be believed.

Are you hurting the people you love the most?

LODDON CAMPASPE MEN’S BEHAVIOUR CHANGE PROGRAM

Bendigo Loddon Primary Care Partnership supports White Ribbon Day - an International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

SO WHAT CAN THE COMMUNITY DO TO HELP?

T

HE most helpful response you can provide to a victim who has experienced violence is to listen, support and encourage them to seek professional assistance.

In most cases, the victim won’t make any disclosures but you may suspect things are not okay. Perhaps she seems anxious or depressed and worried about always getting home on time? Maybe you have noticed her partner speaking aggressively to her or verbally abusing her? A woman who has been sexually assaulted recently may appear withdrawn or isolated If you know someone who is experiencing violence the most important message you can give to them is to tell them that they are not to blame for the violence and that they have a right to be safe.

If you suspect family violence speak up.

Don’t ask, “are you being abused?” Without saying that they aren’t to blame.

If the victim doesn’t know what your view is, she may be reluctant to disclose what is going on.

Ask an open-ended question that is not blaming, such as “you seem to be a little down lately. Is everything OK? Is there anything I can do to help?”

Listen and make sure you don’t criticise

It is very important to speak up and to challenge attitudes that support or condone family violence or judge in any way. Let her know you are there for help and support. They may not be ready to talk just yet. Let them know that there is help and support available It is very important to speak up and to challenge attitudes that support or condone family violence and sexual assault. We can do this by writing to the press, or by getting involved in violence prevention activities, through speaking up if you witness violence or know someone who is experiencing violence.

Where a person has been threatened or injured the police should be called. They can keep the victim safe and ensure she is directed to the available support services.

It will only be through our collective efforts that we will end violence against women. Are you up to the challenge? We hope you are and that you will get behind the White Ribbon Day activities in your local community as the first step in ending violence against women.

All men should swear A Number of events have been planned to create awareness, including the I Swear Challenge.

Men are asked to take the following Oath: “I swear never to commit violence against women,never excuse violence against women,and never to remain silent about violence against women.”

Men can sign a pledge at the Centre for Non Violence (437 Hargreaves Street, Bendigo), City of Greater Bendigo or the Bendigo Advertiser.

Be part of the Community Walk today, Friday November 25, from the Civic Gardens – next to the Town Hall. Activities start at 3.30pm with free entertainment and refreshments, followed by a presentation by this year’s ambassadors. Following a short walk the public is invited to view artwork, films and a short play developed by Bendigo secondary students at the Bendigo Library.

Going on show ELIZABETH WOODS was one of many students attending the North Sandhurst State School; during the year 1887 she had produced a work book which was destined to be put on show.

Her work covered the subjects in the curriculum of the time, some of which are more recognisable than others compared to what is taught in schools today.

Earlier in her schooling Elizabeth did copybook work, which entailed her practising her handwriting against a printed example on the top line of each of the pages of the copybook.

The challenge with copy book writing was to emulate the printed form to absolute perfection.

The angle of the script had to be correct and consistent as well as the form of each of the letters.

Writing using liquid ink with a pen that had a steel nib, something that required a great deal of practice to have it executed in a fluid copperplate style.

JAMES LERK work was reproduced last week.

The sample work book that Elizabeth produced had the following in its pages: Geography, where geographical names were given, these had to be identified in two additional columns under the headings of What and Where, most of the places were either in Europe, North America or Australia.

Arithmetic was in the

form of problems which required both multiplication and long division.

Sums were for her level, in the form of multiplication and division of fractions.

History consisted of copied notes mainly dealing with the British Royals.

Parsing, the grammatical breakdown of a particular sentence in the most analytical way.

The work that Elizabeth did as a 13 year old would flummox a university language student of today.

Analysis was related

to parsing, however, in this case the sentences were broken up into the kind, subject, predicate, object and extension.

Grammar, again this was the same as parsing.

Dictation was another language-related subject, normally followed by the testing of tricky words.

Compositions were also interspersed throughout her work book.

There was often a moral in the subject matter that was either given or chosen.

Poetry was, I assume, copied as the vocabulary showed a great command of the language.

Map drawing, of individual countries or a section of the European continent showing the principal cities, rivers and mountain ranges.

The maps that she drew appear not to be traced so they show very great drafting skill in proportions and rendering.

To mark Queen Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Jubilee in 1887 a special Jubilee Exhibition was held in Adelaide, which at the time was still a relatively small city.

The exhibition was nothing of the scale or grandeur as the first Great Exhibition of 1851, held in the Crystal Palace, Hyde Park London.

1887 was a year of achievement for South Australia, the railway lines from Victoria met at the border at Serviceton on January 19.

The first intercolonial medical conference was held on April 13, 1887 in Adelaide, while in November Parliamentarians for South Australia were to be paid.

The Jubilee Exhibition was to also display some school work from the adjoining colonies.

CYCLING

Christmas cycling wishes CHRISTMAS is looming and is known as the season for giving and receiving, so I thought you may like some ideas on Christmas stocking fillers that won’t break the budget but will be a joy to receive.

Getting a flat tyre is never a delight as the pumping up of the tyre wears you out trying to get pressure back into the tube.

There is a simple, smart and quick solution that reduces the gym work out of pumping – CO2 gas bottles and applicator.

The tyre is pumped back to around 120 psi in about two seconds, making these worth the weight to carry (which is probably less than most pumps).

I often advocate the three points of contact and how valuable the right bike set up is for the protection of the body and the ability to produce the maximum power outputs.

Consider a gift voucher for a professional bike fit, you may be surprised how much this will add to the joy of cycling.

Speaking of the three points of contact, the bottom may well benefit from a good shammy cream as a gift, particularly if you are heading into some heavy hours in the saddle.

A simple addition to the cycling medicinal kit is paw paw ointment, which is a natural anaesthetic and promoter of healing for any rash or general skin wear and tear.

For many years I held off on wearing cycling socks as they seemed to be part of the cycling kit that was not warranted.

But after having a few pairs I can advocate that

ON THE LIST: Cycling gifts will be well received.

and gain valuable tips on hydration and nutrition.

Bike cleaning kits are also great value for the general care of chain and frame.

Consider the purchase of degreasing spray and chain oil to replenish the chain when cleaned.

If you want to impress and spend a bit more there are many monitoring devices on the market to manage heart rate and calories burnt.

Also the power created in watts along with altitude, temperature, speed and mapping.

It might be that a new light kit for the early morning rides could be a good gift, as there have been many improvements in lights for cycling.

I hope one of these suggestions finds its way onto a Christmas list and keeps our riders safe and healthy on the bike.

Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

they are well worth it as they breathe so well and reduce the sweating feet syndrome.

Cycling gloves are an essential safety insurance for protection of the hands.

We are headed for a hot summer and for the sun conscious the sun protective arm sleeves are amazing.

THE Bendigo Car Club dominated the perfect conditions for the final round of the 2011 Mallee Shield Interclub Challenge at the Bagshot Motorsports Complex.

Drivers and navigators were faced with two heats of one hour around the 5.5-kilometre Bagshot Off Road course, with some very wet and slippery sections after rain in the area, which tested the drivers and their vehicles.

BCC crews took out the top three places, as Ken and Jeremy Holt in a Raptor Super 1650 buggy (258) took top honours with a total of 28 laps.

Second was Craig Button and David Anderson in a two-wheeldrive Extreme CBR Ute (469) also on 28 laps but three minutes behind the leader, while in third place Matt and Jim Coombs in a Super 1650 buggy (213) finished a further two minutes back.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

Mercury is changing directions in the territory which deals with education, publishing, travel, public speaking, the law, and philosophy. Therefore any of these activities are subject to shifts, changes, or sudden deceleration. Whatever activities you have in these areas need to be reviewed.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19): Old issues concerning the sharing of resources may be up for review again. “Shared resources” include partnership money, insurance benefits, investments, or anything of value between you and another. The nonmaterial type of shared resources is the energy shared intimately. Any of these are up for review.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Because Mercury is retrograding in your 7th house, changes will be coming to you through others. A partner may change his/her mind about a previously made decision. Those of you engaged in any kind of contract or promise may feel the need to back off and rethink the situation. Those who are recently separated may want to try the relationship again.

2511

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22):

This Mercury retrograde experience occurs in the territory of health, coworkers, tenants, employees, and pets. You may find that your diet and exercise program is on hold or treading water. It is a particularly good time to organize and sort closets, records, and files. Coworkers, tenants, and employees may be wishy-washy.

The Mercury retrograde focus is specifically on communications, neighbours, siblings, and others who are in your daily environment. Concentrate as much as possible on clear communications. Double check what you think you heard. You may need to consider the needs of your vehicle now. Give it a checkup.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

The probability is high that you will discover some financial error made in the past that must be rectified fairly soon. It may be as simple as finding a bill that was forgotten and left unpaid. Now is the time to correct previous misunderstandings with a loved one.

Be clear about what you say. You don’t want to create new problems.

Mercury will be retrograding in your territory of children, creative life, and romance. You may feel the need to reconsider relationship decisions. It is also possible that you will want to reconnect to former lovers, even if only to check in and say hello. Or one of them may contact you.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22): The area of focus is related to property, family, and issues of security. You are likely reworking things in one of these territories. Family members may be erratic or hard to pin down, making it difficult to conclude open agendas. You may not know who is coming for dinner.

Have patience with yourself and everyone else.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): This is a month filled with changes in direction. You may no sooner decide on one thing than you switch to another. Be aware you are trying on answers, just as one tries on clothes. Under these cosmic circumstances it is perfectly normal to argue with yourself.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):

Memories from your life history may surface for examination at this time. Old friends or acquaintances who return for a short time could be the trigger for this life review. It is possible you may have a greater than normal need to reflect, to write, and otherwise give attention to your inner self. For that reason plans may not work out so well in your outer life.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17):

You are likely to find yourself thinking a lot about old friends and may want to get in touch with one or two of them. This is a time for nostalgia and reminiscence.

Others are thinking about you, too, but you are a sign with more initiative than many, so pick up the telephone.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19): You may be thinking twice about an action that seemed good in the beginning. Mercury has altered directions in your house of career and life direction. This is really more of a tweaked change than a larger life change.

Now is the time to research the best possible choices, but don’t take action yet.

Seb Olle with 4/16 from 12.5 overs, and Brad Webster and Jeremy Rogerson with three wickets each, did the damage with the ball.

West Bendigo were heading for victory against Emu Creek before the rain halted play as Travis O’Connell (71 not out) and Glen Wallis (36) had them well placed at 4/136 in reply to Emu Creek’s 225. Leigh Byrne took two early wickets but had to settle for a washed out draw.

Cricket wicket has its ups and downs

By BEN CAMERON

CRICKET will return to the Queen Elizabeth Oval this weekend, despite concerns still existing about the height of the wicket.

However, a match scheduled for next week has been moved.

The Bendigo Weekly online revealed on Tuesday the Bendigo District Cricket Association thought the newly-dropped-in wicket unsuitable for play, because it had not yet settled.

BDCA secretary John Hecker said no matches would be played at the QEO until after Christmas.

The City of Greater Bendigo council denied the pitch

Round 5

ROUND Four saw only three of five Division One games completed with the big winners being United, who move to the top of the ladder after a convincing win over Maiden Gully.

But at the other end of the scale, a washed-out draw still has the reigning premier Spring Gully looking for their first win of season 2011/12.

Marong broke through for their first win this season with Zac Samuel (36 not out) and Williams (25) the best of the batsmen replying to Sedgwick’s score of 132 with 7/185.

Best of the Sedgwick attack was Andrew Sharpe

AWAY TEAM

was too high for play.

However, a meeting the following between the City of Greater Bendigo council, the BDCA and the Bendigo and Bendigo United clubs, who are due to play on the wicket on Saturday, overturned the BDCA ruling.

Bendigo president Tony Fitzpatrick admitted there was a rise at both ends of the pitch, the club would “bite the bullet” and play United.

“Nobody knows how it will play,” Fitzpatrick admitted.

“I’m far from convinced it will be perfect, we’ll just see how it goes. “(City of Greater Bendigo’s) Roger Barbetti said it’s

right to go, so we’re going to get on with it and see what happens.

“Ideally we’d wait a bit longer.”

However, council requested that Bendigo’s Twenty20 match next Wednesday night at the QEO, be played elsewhere.

Earlier, Hecker was in no doubt: “The pitch is just a bit too high,” he said.

“It hasn’t sunk enough, which makes it very difficult for bowlers.

“It may need to be levelled off at both ends, I’m not sure at this stage.”

Mr Barbetti denied the pitch was unsafe.

“We are ready to go this weekend, the date we said it

would be ready, unless they advise me otherwise,” he said.

Mr Barbetti said he would be surprised if teams refused to play on safety grounds.

“There is a slight surface level change, but it is almost identical to (Tannery Lane) Strathfieldsaye.”

Mr Barbetti said the pitch that was ready for play was fine, but acknowledged there was some swelling on the wicket table.

“Where it has swelled up it is now going down with intense rolling and preparation,” he said.

“One corner has swelled up, but teams won’t be playing on that side of the table until after Christmas.”

Cousins make the grade for state team

GOOD STATE: Jimmy and Xavier Ryan.

Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN.

CRICKETING cousins Jimmy and Xavier Ryan will represent the state in January.

The Bendigo Cricket Club juniors have been selected in the Victorian Schoolboys Under 12 team for the national schoolboys carnival in Barooga from January 7 to 15.

From a group of more than 50 Victorian kids, the squad was whittled down to an eventual 13, and both Ryans were named.

“It’s pretty cool, I’m rapt,”

YES

Bendigo 96.5 Castlemaine 106.3 Phone the Office on 5444 1377

Xavier said, who has dreams of playing Test cricket for Australia.

“I was extremely surprised to get picked and it is such a great privilege,” Jimmy said.

“I can’t wait to get into it in January.”

Not surprisingly, both boys come from fine cricketing stock.

Xavier’s father Tony, was a Victorian Under 19 representative, and Tony’s cousin is former Australian Test coach Tim Neilsen.

His grandmother also played cricket for Australia in the 1940s, while Jimmy’s dad Mark is a Bendigo Cricket Club legend.

Xavier, a medium-pace bowler and opening bat, and James, a spinner and left-hand bat, proved that talent is nothing without hard work. Both train up to four times a week.

“I have sometimes been going to my dad’s training and have a bowl to some of the senior players,” Jimmy said.

INDEED

Apart from premierships, and perhaps one day pulling on the baggy green, Jimmy has another goal.

“Hopefully I can play at least one game with my dad, I’m hoping that he can at least last another few seasons,” he joked.

The boys will attend training sessions most Sundays through November and December, and will play matches against Yarra Valley, Caulfield, and Mentone grammar schools.

It’s Brett Dunlop Wed Drive 5-7pm & Fri 8pm.

City a smash hit

Bendigo makes a mark as host for international tennis comp

By BEN CAMERON

THE William Loud Bendigo International has been a huge success and Bendigo has every chance of hosting the event again next year.

The final leg of the 2011 Australian Pro Tour, which has attracted both international players and home-grown talent like Casey Dellacqua and Sam Groth, has been a bit hit for Bendigo.

Tournament director Melissa Jelliff said Bendigo’s support of the event had been faultless.

“There’s no reason why it couldn’t be here next year,” Jelliff said.

“There are a number of reasons why Bendigo was picked to host this event.

“You have an awesome facility, with lots of courts, and the support of the Bendigo tennis fraternity has been incredible.”

The tennis, alongside other major drawcards like the Goldfields Snooker Open, is proving that Bendigo is making a name for itself by hosting major sports events.

Jelliff said apart from number seven seed Sally Peers losing in the first round, there had been no surprises so far on court.

Unfortunately, all of Bendigo’s representatives were bundled out in the qualifying rounds.

CLASS RETURN: Casey Dellacqua plays in the singles.

The men’s and women’s finals will be contested this Sunday.
