YOUR CALL

THE State Government was ready to go ahead with the Fortuna Villa redevelopment, before the Federal Government stopped the process. In an exclusive interview with the Bendigo Weekly, Deputy Premier Peter Ryan revealed the Baillieu Government would have been bound by the former government’s proposal, if the Federal Government had agreed to it. “The fundamental point is that the Federal Government owns the property and knocked back the proposition,” Mr Ryan said. “It is entirely on their heads how

Ryan says Feds failed Fortuna

they deal with the project. If they want to come back to us with another proposition, we would consider it.” Mr Ryan’s comments came in the wake of a call from Labor Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan to the State Government to “cease its dithering on the future of Fortuna Villa. “Does it intend to either accept or reject an offer from the Commonwealth Government that is currently sitting on the table to have what is known as a first right of refusal?” Ms

Allan said in parliament this week. A letter from the Special Minister of State responsible for the sale of assets, Gary Gray, on August 20 to Mr Ryan states there is , in fact, no offer. Mr Gray’s letter responds to a letter Mr Ryan sent in May requesting “further discussion on the Fortuna Villa site”. It refers to the proposal made public before the November state election for the sale of Fortuna at a concessional priority rate (effectively no cost), and a Commonwealth

contribution of $10 million. “Under budget rules,” Mr Gray wrote, “the cost would need to be offset within the Department of Defence budget or the broader Budget. I am advised no offsetting savings have been currently identified. “On this basis, I am unable to support the proposal at this time.” Mr Ryan said it is now up to the Federal Government to find a solution. “They have knocked it back because they say they can’t recover the

money because there is no offset,” Mr Ryan said. “That’s a problem for them, not us.” The site has cost the Federal Government $1.77 million in maintenance since the last time it was open to the public, on December 8 in 2009. The Bendigo Weekly reported in April that upkeep costs $887,000 a year, “with the main component being security”, according to a Defence spokesperson. Every week the stalemate between the Federal and State Governments continues on a decision about the future of Fortuna Villa is costing $17,057, which the Defence Department must offset from its budget.

Housing a better bet By ANTHONY RADFORD

AN analysis of Bendigo’s housing market has shown it to be almost four times a better investment than the stock market over the past decade. The average median house price in Bendigo jumped more than 151 per cent from the end of 2000 to the end of 2010. The figures come from the State Government, which records the sale price of every property. Over the same 11-year period, the ASX has increased about 40 per cent. Leading the way in the median house prices was Junortoun, with the median house price jumping 226 per cent to $422,500. Bendigo’s inner city was a close second. In 2000, the median price of a house in Bendigo was $97,000.

In 2010, it was $295,000, a jump of 204 per cent. All Bendigo suburbs rose by more than 100 per cent over the period. Third on the list was Long Gully, whose median house price sat at $205,000 in 2010, up from $71,900, an increase of 185 per cent.

the strong growth were the great rental returns and very low vacancy rates, coupled with the strengthening local economy driven by our attractive location. “This enticed both investors and families to the region.” Mr Hinton said such stability will continue, despite Mel-

Bendigo is still a great place to invest PH Property director Brad Hinton said the analysis showed the benefits of a stable market, especially over the past eight or nine years. “Bendigo was traditionally a very affordable place to live prior to 2001-02 when there was a rapid increase in median price in a very short time,” he said. “The main reasons for

bourne’s roller coaster market. “Bendigo is still a great place to invest, vacancy rates are always very low, the returns are always strong,” he said. “We never seem to have the troughs and the highs of capital cities in terms of price fluctuation. “Capital growth is always steady, with median prices being

helped slightly from new properties being built, which cost above-median price to build.” DCK Real Estate director Matt Bowles said the evolution was obvious. “If you sold a three-bedroom, cream brick house in Flora Hill in 2000, you got between $95,000 and $100,000,” he said. “In 2010, such houses sold for between $280,000 and $300,000. “In 2000, $100,000 would allow you to buy a new 12-square, three-bedroom, one-bathroom new home on an estate. “Today you would get a very basic house and land package for $200,000.” To see how much your house price has risen since 2000, click on this story at www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Mall options to excite

HARGREAVES Mall could be home to a stunning water play area in summer and an ice skating rink in winter, under plans to replace the popular playground. After four attempts, the City of Greater Bendigo council has decided to again go back to the drawing board to come up with a playground replacement traders and the community would be happy with. About 4000 Bendigo children were sent surveys, with possible options and ideas on them, in an attempt to identify popular themes. Among the ideas is a plan to build a permanent play structure with a slide, that would sit alongside a water play area in summer, and an ice rink in winter. Council Community Wellbeing director Pauline Gordon said the idea was just one of many mooted.

ALL SEASONS: Artist’s impressions of the suggested play areas – an ice rink for winter, left, and a water play area for summer. “I am pretty excited with this,” she said. “It is not too late to get the surveys in as council is in the final stages of putting a draft report together.” Ms Gordon said suggestions were not limited to the options council put forward. “I don’t want to lead the consultation in any way. The whole idea is to get the community involved.”

Although the results have not been looked through in detail, there were no surprises in the suggestions put forward about fixing the mall. “Colour is coming up a lot,” Ms Gordon said. “More shrubs and more plants are also being recommended to create warmth and vibrancy. “People are also calling for more activities in the mall as well as more

shade in summer.” Ms Gordon and Sandhurst Ward Cr James Reade were due to walk through the mall this week to talk over the ideas with CBD traders. When work began in the mall redevelopment in 2007, the playground was torn down, with plans for a knee-high zig-zag structure to replace it. Community concern at the plan

Mayor continues in the family tradition FLORA Hill Ward councillor Alec Sandner followed in his father’s footsteps this week, to become the 17th mayor of the City of Greater Bendigo council. Cr Sandner’s father, Eugene, was mayor of the Bendigo City Council in 1978-79, after being elected to council in 1976.

Cr Sandner was a councillor with the former Shire of Strathfieldsaye from 1982 to 1987, serving as president in 1985-86, and was first elected to the City of Greater Bendigo at the November 2008 election. One of the major projects Cr Sandner will oversee in the next

year is the new multi-storey car park in Edward Street. His father was mayor when the first multi-storey car park, in Hargreaves Street, was instigated. Cr Sandner’s history goes back to the goldfields. His great grandfather was lured to Bendigo in 1867 by the alluvial gold deposits. When

they dried up, he began distilling and extracting oil from eucalypts. Cr Sandner’s grandfather, Adolph, came to Bendigo from Bavaria to join the business, leaving briefly for England to have his doctor qualifications recognised. His father was also a GP and a surgeon.

saw council prepared to spend about $450,000 on a series of serpent-like off-yellow structures coming out of the ground. After the footings for that project were put in place it was scrapped, with plans for a series of green mounds with rectangle mesh tree-like sculptures put up as a replacement. After that was scrapped, council decided to spend $60,000 to build a series of small walls with interactive features such as an abacus, telescope, tick-tack-toe game area and rubber crocodile and lizard sculptures. However, local traders weren’t happy and pushed for a more traditional type of playground with a slide.

Tram depot opens for business AFTER two years of extensive renovations, the Bendigo Tramways Depot and Workshop is reopening to the public on Sunday. The event coincides with the 39th Anniversary of the Vintage Talking Tram Tours. Tramways manager Jos Duivenvoorden said the renovations cost more than $3 million. “Thanks to funding provided by federal, state and local government, Australia’s oldest tram depot is now a much more appealing place to visit and work with well‐preserved heritage features,” he said. “Although there is still some work to be done, such as the completion of a new souvenir shop, we already have an expanded tram workshop, new offices and toilets, a brand-new surface in the depot yard and updated drainage, electrical wiring and lighting throughout the facility.” One of the highlights of the celebrations on Sunday will be free 45-minute guided tours of the upgraded 1903 depot and workshop. “They will see first‐hand the craftsmanship that is involved in restoring each tram to its former glory and will find out more about the unique characters of the Tramways,” Mr Duivenvoorden said. Visitors will also have the opportunity to ride aboard their favourite trams and take in the sights of Bendigo with half-price tram tours from 10am to 4pm.

Jobless rate takes plunge

BeNDIGO has the lowest unemployment rate of all the major Victorian regional centres, according to the latest figures released by the Australian Government Department of education, employment and Relations for the September Quarter 2011. City of Greater Bendigo City Futures director Stan Liacos said Bendigo’s unemployment rate of 5.1 per cent was the lowest it had been in many years. “Unemployment reached a three-year high of 6.8 per cent in December, 2010 and has dropped by 1.7 per cent in the past eight months. “It’s a very positive sign for growth and momentum in the municipality and it’s really pleasing to see these figures which we believe will only continue to improve given the employment opportunities that

Figures hailed as good sign for growth and momentum in municipality will come from a range of planned major projects including the construction of the Bendigo hospital, development of the major Sandhurst Theatre and new La Trobe University accommodation over the next three years. “This is in addition to anticipated jobs growth from many entities including State Trustees, hofmanns engineering and hazeldenes to name but a few.” Mr Liacos said Bendigo appeared to have weathered the effects of the recent global financial crisis well. “The drop can possibly be attributed to the fact Greater Bendigo

has a spread of diverse small and medium businesses with the ability to be resilient in times of economic uncertainty. We must all continue to support our local businesses to ensure their future in the Bendigo economy,” he said. “We know that generally our manufacturing sector has weathered the recent global financial crisis reasonably well and continues to enjoy growth. “We also know that our construction sector has remained strong.” Mr Liacos said Greater Bendigo had the lowest unemployment rate of other comparable municipalities

including Ballarat, Greater Geelong, Mildura, Wodonga, Shepparton and Latrobe. “Ballarat’s current rate is 7.1 per cent, Shepparton’s current rate is eight per cent, Geelong six per cent, Mildura seven per cent, Wodonga 6.6 per cent and Latrobe 6.9 per cent. “Greater Bendigo’s rate of 5.1 per cent is faring reasonably well even compared to Melbourne’s rate of 4.9 per cent. “Years ago our unemployment rate was significantly greater than Melbourne’s. “We are progressively closing the gap. We should be proud of this.”

All credit due to Bendigo Bank BeNDIGO and Adelaide Bank has joined the ranks of Australia’s Arated banks following an upgrade announced by Standard and Poor’s. S and P’s decision to raise the bank’s longterm rating from BBB+ to A– means the bank is now rated A by all three of the world’s leading credit rating agencies. Moody’s A rating predates the merger of Bendigo and Adelaide banks. Fitch upgraded the bank in May 2011. The S and P upgrade has also been applied to the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Rural Bank, which gains an A– rating with a stable outlook. In welcoming S and P’s announcement, bank managing director Mike hirst said few banks in the world were being upgraded in the current difficult economic environment. “That brings added lustre to our achievement, but it sounds a note of caution at the same time,” he said. “We are obviously pleased to deliver on our stated aim to achieve an A rating from all credit agencies, but we are under no illusions about

just how tough the economic environment is. “Maintaining our hard-won position will require continued focus.” Mr hirst said the Bendigo had identified two years ago the need to achieve an A rating in order to open up new funding markets. “Funding is obviously challenging all banks globally, but the upgrade will certainly enable us to access funding otherwise denied to us,” he said. “Importantly, it will also enable us to service supporters who were precluded from banking with us because we were not A rated. “One thing it will not do, though, is change our fundamental approach to risk and management. “Retail funding remains our key focus because of the strong relationships it brings with our customers, partners and communities. “Their support and advocacy is a key to our continued success.” Bendigo and Adelaide Bank has 1.4 million customers and more than $50 billion in assets held by its diversified businesses.

Hargreaves Mall row flares again The announcement this week that Priceline Pharmacy has gone into voluntary receivership has reignited the debate about the hargreaves Mall. Toasties manager Steve Gray ramped up the attack on the City of Greater Bendigo council, saying people will not return to shop in the mall until more money is spent improving it. “I wish they would admit they nearly bankrupted all us

traders in a bungled project,” Mr Gray said. Comments by Bendigo Weekly readers showed residents are concerned about safety in the mall. “I would love to shop in the mall but the parking and security scare me,” one reader said. Another supported Priceline Pharmacy, but added, “The reason I don’t like the mall is because you see people fighting and yelling”.

Road safety the key A NINJA who distracts a drunk young driver and steals his car keys is the winning concept in the RACV Transmission Road Safety for Secondary Schools program. Bendigo Senior Secondary College students Kyle Kenny, Rob DiGiorgio and Brandon Hoggan created the ”Anyone can be a Key Ninja” concept as a road safety message targeting young people. Their idea will be shown as a 30-second Community Service Announcement during summer on Channel 7. The advertisement was launched on Wednesday at The Capital, and screened

Residents in fear at accident black spot By BEN CAMERON

IN the wake of two fatalities early on Saturday morning on Nolan Street, a nearby resident has described Thursday, Friday and Saturday night traffic as horrendous for excessive speed. “During the day it’s fine, but after dark, it’s horrendous,” she said. “Cars fly down the incline like silver bullets.” She said hoons could not resist the incline travelling east on Nolan Street. “It’s too much of a temptation to speed,” she said. “I’m sure a car will come through our house one day.” Last Saturday morning, two people were killed in a horror collision on the corner

“Luckily I slept through it, but our neighbours have been traumatised.” The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, called

for speed bumps, not traffic lights, to be installed, to reduce dangerous speeds after dark. “I don’t want to see a knee jerk reaction,” she said. “Speed bumps would surely make people slow down, I don’t think anybody wants to see another set of lights within two blocks of each other.” The Bendigo Weekly understands Nolan Street is a sub arterial road which also facilitates buses, so it’s surface is unlikely to change due to excessive volumes of traffic.

during the Channel 7 news that night. The message opens with a number of young people drinking in a bar. One young man gets up to leave with his keys in his hand. The man drops his keys and the ninja swiftly catches them. The ninja tells the young man: “You no drink and drive.” The final scene tells the viewer: “Anyone can be Key Ninja.” Melinda Congiu of the RACV said the Key Ninja concept had stood out from the other entries because of its originality and appeal to young people. “The judges chose the concept as the

winner because of the humour and originality of the idea and because it demonstrates the message that people can prevent their friends who have been drinking from putting themselves and others in danger by driving,” she said. BSSC principal Dale Pearce said the win was a credit to the students involved. “It is creative and will appeal to the target audience, which was the real challenge,” he said. “Hopefully it will have an impact on attitudes to drink driving, which can have such tragic consequences particularly at this time of the year.”

Government staff attend rally STATE Government employees who work with Bendigo families in Child Protection, Housing, Human Services, Disability, Youth Justice and Health rallied this week in an attempt to push the State Government back into negotiating for better pay and conditions. The Community and Public Sector Union members rallied outside the Bendigo Department of Human Services offices on Wednesday to protest the government’s actions. CPSU spokesman Julian Kennelly said the government’s lack of urgency was withdrawing $3 million out of Bendigo this Christmas. “The government refus-

es to bargain in good faith and will only reach agreement if it’s on their terms,” he said. “The government is delivering a real wage cut by offering only a 2.5 per cent wage increase to their workforce. “Our Agreement expired in June and the workforce is sick of the excuses and delays. “The workers will stand up for Bendigo services, how about the Government doing the same?” Union members have been taking rolling action for the past few months. “We have been targeting the operation of the Department and the government,” Mr Kennelly said.

Still time for gifts

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, December 9, 2011

Club members have been very generous this year, with 160 gifts being left. “We do our bit, but the event’s success is due to the community,” Maureen said. Locals wanting to donate can go to Curves, Toyworld or the BMC to select a tag with a profile of a child on it. Once an appropriate toy is bought, it can be dropped off, unwrapped, at Curves’ Christmas tree. GIFT TIME: Liz March from Centa Care with owner of Curves Maureen Mullins. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Christmas Appeal

Bendigo Hospital appeal launched THE Bendigo Health Foundation has officially launched its annual Christmas Appeal. Proceeds for this year’s appeal will go to Bendigo Health paediatric rehabilitation. Foundation director Jane Anderson said that this year marks the seventh anniversary of the Christmas appeal. “It says a lot about the people of Bendigo and Central Victoria that they give so generously to our Christmas appeal every year,” she said. “They are thinking of those in their community who may have needed the care and attention of our staff over the last 12 months and we thank them for their support.” Bendigo Health paediatric rehabilitation operates as an outpatient service of the Victorian Paediatric Rehabilitation Service, which operates across a number of sites in Victoria. The service is supported by a visiting medical specialist from the Royal Children’s Hospital and provides specialist team rehabilitation for young people up to 18. The young patients who need this service have had an acquired injury, such as a medical condition or major

surgery, or an impairment that requires them to have rehabilitation specific to their individual needs. Patients can now access specialist rehabilitation when they need it, close to where they live. For families in Bendigo and surrounding areas, this means instead of having regular trips to the Royal Children’s Hospital, they can access the same level of care in their local community. Bendigo Health’s Wendy Millar said the service was a joint project between Bendigo Health and the Department of Health. “The department has been very generous in providing us with additional funding to expand the paediatric rehabilitation program here at Bendigo Health,” she said. “With the help of the Bendigo community we will now be able to develop the program at a faster rate, through their generous donations.” To donate, go to www.bhfoundation.org.au, call 1800 427 353, or in person at the Bendigo Health Foundation office in the hospital’s main campus.

BENDIGO’S Curves fitness club wrapped up its joint toy drive this week, but they can still take more gifts. When the event, tied in with Toyworld, Centacare and the Bendigo Media Centre, finished, there were still a few tags without gifts. Curves’ Maureen Mullins said there are some presents needed for 14-to-18-year-olds. “People selected the tags for the youngsters, but we have a few left for older children,” she said “Gift vouchers are always good for this age group.”

THERE will be plenty to do and see over the next couple of months as the region’s Summer in the Parks program comes to life. There are fun community events and activities during this month, January and February. Parks and reserves throughout Greater Bendigo will come alive with live music, outdoor cinema

nights, historical walking tours, garden tours, Christmas celebrations, arts events and much more. City of Greater Bendigo Sandhurst Ward Cr James Reade said this year’s Summer in the Parks program spans the entire summer beginning with traditional Christmas celebrations and outdoor Christmas Carol events. “This year we have

a range of great events planned across Bendigo, Heathcote, Maiden Gully, Strathdale, Eaglehawk, Axedale, Lockwood South, Elmore and White Hills,” he said. In January the live Music in the Parks on Friday evenings will kick off along with a range of other activities. Cinema in the Parks

events can be enjoyed by the whole family in a range of locations in and around Bendigo including a moonlight drive-in at Elmore during February. Programs are available from City of Greater Bendigo Offices and the Bendigo Visitor Information Centre. Programs can also be downloaded from www.bendigo.vic. gov.au

Canterbury Park plays host to carols CHRISTMAS is coming, and what better way than to join in the spirit at a night of song at the beautiful Canterbury Park in Eaglehawk? The event on Sunday introduces a line-up of local school and community choirs, along with guest vocalists at the Eaglehawk Dahlia and Arts Festival Canterbury Carols. Eaglehawk’s Citizens’ Brass Band will be playing, along with guest artists Simone Martin and Jennifer Schatzle performing a duet of the Christmas classic O Holy Night, Rosemary Farrell singing John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Happy Christmas (War Is Over) and Shannon Butler with his rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

The audience will also hear the Sing Australia Choir and Our Place Minstrels, along with local schoolchildren from Eaglehawk Primary School, Eaglehawk North Primary, St Liborius, Maiden Gully Primary and Kalianna. A free sausage sizzle will begin at 6pm, drinks will be sold by the Eaglehawk Scouts as a fundraiser and the start of the free carols program will be at 7pm. The event will feature a visit by Santa when he comes into town at about 8.30pm. Candles and programs are provided free of charge, but you will need to bring your own wind deflector, along with a chair or a rug.

weigh in for winners After 12 weeks of watching their food intake, taking more walks, going to the gym or listening to helpful advice, the scores for those doing Bendigo’s Biggest Winner have been tallied. the winner for the second year was Linda Conn, who, after losing 23.8 per cent of her body weight last year, lost 22.7 per cent. Although she put a small amount back on during the year, Linda was delighted to be even closer to her goal weight this year. In second place, with the full backing of his workmates at Campaspe Asset Management services was Stephen Landry, who lost 21.34 per cent or an amazing 30 kilograms. Linda and Stephen also won the $100 for the woman and man

with the most centimetre loss, losing 69cm and 85.5cm respectively. Placegetters were Pam Lynch (Bendigo and Adelaide Bank) and Christine Clifford (individual entry), and Allan Bull and Darren Phyland, both from CAMS. CAMS entered a team of 24 and took out the teams award with an average weight loss per person of four per cent. third place individually went to Pam Lynch, from the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank team, who lost 14.9 per cent. fourth and fifth went to Sharon Bonazza (Bendigo and Adelaide Bank) and Wendy Lauder (Bendigo Health). A total of 14 workplace teams took part. the runner-up in the large teams event (more than five staff) was Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, followed by St John of

Hospital chief executive officer Michael Hogan was able to present Heart foundation’s Gemma Hardie with a donation for $5500 from the event proceeds. Mr Hogan said the event would not have been possible without the support of local business such as UfS Pharmacy View Street, Lifestyle fitness in Bath Lane, Central Victorian cardiology and the Victorian Obesity Surgery Centre in Bendigo, Julie Lake Healing and Coaching and the Bendigo Weekly. full results appear in the classifieds of the Weekly and the St John of God Hospital website.

Making waves Bendigo Ben Jones Weekly and with ...

Anthony Radford

Ben – It’s the local you know, 3BO. Joining me is Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford. Radders, there is a bit going on around town. There is some positive news to start with, which always isn’t the case around Central Victoria. When it comes to unemployment, we seem to be doing OK, comparatively. Anthony – Yes, news has just come out that compared to most other places in Victoria we are doing well. Last December, a year ago, Bendigo’s unemployment rate, according to the people who measure these things, was 6.8 per cent, the highest in three years. Now it is 5.1 per cent, better than all other regional centres by far, and only slightly higher than Melbourne’s 4.9 per cent. This is pretty impressive. It proves how important our diversified economy is. Ben – When it comes to unemployment, it’s not really a competition, but for Bendigo it is a great fillip for the economy. Let’s hope it can drop even further in coming months. Bendigo Senior Secondary College students have been getting involved with a safe driving message that, I believe is going to feature on our TV screens heavily over summer. Anthony – This is another great story for Bendigo, Jonesy. Three BSSC students entered an RACV competition to work up an advertising campaign urged at very young drivers drinking before they drive. They created a campaign based on the Key Ninja, who took keys of those who were considering drinking and driving. It urged people to be Key Ninjas and look after their mates. That has been made into an ad and it will be screened throughout Victoria during summer, so well done to those boys. Ben – It sounds like they are thinking outside the square. Congrats to them. Some bad news, though, Toni Riley’s Priceline Pharmacy in the mall has gone into voluntary receivership I believe. More bad news for the mall. Anthony – This is one of those stories you don’t like to write. As you said Jonesy, the pharmacy has gone into receivership, but is still open in the lead-up to Christmas, so I urge people to get down there and support Bendigo-owned businesses like this one.

Water impacts greater than admitted THE crisis of the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin is driven by the over-extraction of water, especially to increasingly unsustainable cotton and rice production, and is exacerbated by drought, which is likely to get worse with accelerating climate change. This is the clear message from Australia’s leading river scientists, and, as has been largely forgotten in this debate over the fate of our country’s lifeblood, also from the Premier and people of South Australia – the state which has long been the canary in the coal mine where the health of the Murray-Darling river system is concerned. South Australians, as those at the end of the line in terms of water flows, know they are dealing with a river system which is dying from the mouth up. Perhaps Barnaby Joyce should also be talking to Premier Weatherill, and the farmers, fishermen and townspeople of SA, as well as the upstream irrigators whose interests he is so keen on defending. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk.

Heritage report just common sense ON reading the so-called, soonto-be-released heritage report, I fail to see how it could possibly be in draft form. The consultancy group have obviously given someone instructions of what was required and then sent that person to a good library. The report does not give the reader any impression that the author visited Bendigo and if they did so it must have been a whistle stop tour of some of the icons. Over the past 30 years I have written and published several major historical works on the Bendigo area and on Australian subjects. Some of these projects, in terms of time spent on research and field work have come to be at great expense, let alone the print bill. While I enjoy ‘the thrill of the chase,’ the challenge and the encouragement from those who appreciate my books, it is disappointing that such a report has to be compiled outside of Bend-

igo. Surely there must be people here in Bendigo who could have gone to our local library and historical groups and compiled something of the equal, and probably at a fraction of the cost. Had this been done I am sure most of the local historians would have been more than happy to see their work included rather than see an ‘outsider’ profiting from all the hard work of our local historians and authors. When it is all boiled down, much of the content of the report is plain common sense to the average man on the street. However, common sense seems to be almost a thing of the past when it comes to making an economical or important decision for the future of Bendigo. I refer to the Hargreaves Mall, the site of the new multi storey car park, the ambulance station in Uley Street and our latest tourist attraction, a fine rendition of Mozart’s waltz in A minor, as played by the xylophone, as you drive through the intersection of Hargreaves and Bull Street. Ken Arnold, Bendigo

A contradiction THE first sentence of the article about mayor-elect Sandner on page three of last week’s Bendigo Weekly contradicts the remainder of the text. If Cr Sandner says that the evidence is not convincing about the topic, it does not mean that he has come down against man-made warming. He seems to be clear on this. Those scientists who examine the evidence rigorously generally adopt the precautionary principle, where we should do something because the possibility is there. It is a position based not on clear, incontrovertible scientific evidence, but on the lack of it. Brian Stanmore, Junortoun

Rules on copyright are clear and binding COPYRIGHT is a serious matter. This became very evident with the invention of photocopiers which worked with the press of a button. In fact, I have seen multiple copies spewed out of machines without the need for master sheets, just set and press the but-

ton. Many complaints from the publishers and authors of set texts in educational institutions, brought up the necessity for the 1968 Australian Copyright Act. This act was quoted by Ralph Birrell in his letter to the Bendigo Weekly, December 2. Copyright is to be respected and cherished. The proper methods of attribution and recording of sources is taught in schools, it is not difficult. Copyright also covers other areas of art such as music and visual art. I have not seen the draft report complained about in your pages, but plagiarism is not tolerated under the copyright act. Where money changes hands the copyright act is quite clear that permission/payment has to be made to the authors and or publishers.

Mall is childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play THE Bendigo community and CBD traders are frustrated the Hargreaves Mall playground has not yet been replaced, more than four years after it was torn down. The bungled mall redevelopment, which took longer to complete than the Eiffel Tower, attracted a lot of negative feedback from locals. Most of that feedback was what the mall had turned into, and the impact the extended construction had on traders, impact that is still being felt. High on the list of those not happy with the project is the lack of a playground. The simple playground worked. It attracted kids and it was a great place for dads to sit, have a coffee, read the paper and supervise their offspring while mum shopped. It actually provided would-be shoppers with an incentive to shop in the CBD: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we go to the mall the kids can play on the playgroundâ&#x20AC;?. The playground was the free equivalent of the $2-a-pop rides in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other major shopping centres. While it might be a stretch to say people have stopped shopping at the

Bendigoweekly

Editorial Comment mall because of the lack of a playground, it is part of the problem, a problem the City of Greater Bendigo council created by taking too long to find a solution. Architects, council staff and councillors have faffed around for more than four years, firstly on a knee-high red zig-zag ledge, and then with a planned $450,000 dogpoo colour series of upside-down Us coming out of the pavements. When that idea was dropped, next was the green mounds with camouflage rectangle â&#x20AC;&#x153;treesâ&#x20AC;? that offered kids little stimulation or fun. Then there was a series of activity-based walls that were closer to what was there in the past, but not, apparently, what the community or the kids wanted. Therefore, kudos must go to the

council and new Community Wellbeing director Pauline Gordon for going to the public first, to find out what they want, before designing anything. The ideas the council has thrown around, this time, are good because they are practical. The first three attempts for a play structure were anything but play structures. They were simply artistic structures. This is why the mall was derided, because it seemed to be designed purely on look, and not practicality. The two big screens and the seats, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any shade when they were built, are perfect examples of this, as is the fog spray that is hardly ever turned on. It would be interesting to know how much money could have been saved by getting rid of the two-anda-half screens. While this new planning has thrown up some good options, it is important they are followed through with and acted upon. The new play structure, whatever it is, needs to be practical and usable, and not defined by a vision.

A matter of conscience AS the curtain begins to close on 2011 and the world continues its slide into the silly season, Prime Minister Julia Gillard looks to have ended the year in a far better position than she was 12 months ago. Ms Gillard looks more comfortable and even relaxed in her work. She has enjoyed more positive momentum in the second half of this year, and it shows. The succession of high-profile and high-powered leaders to have met the Prime Minister in recent months, most notably, the Queen and the American President, coupled with the parliamentary coup of the year in replacing Harry Jenkins as Speaker with the controversial and now former Liberal MP, Peter Slipper, has been a boon for Ms Gillard and her party. For the time being anyway. The ALP national conference held two weeks ago agreed to sell uranium to India, something the Prime Minister says will help cut carbon emissions and strengthen our ties to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest democracy. And while the Prime Min-

ister says the government will ensure we sell uranium to India safely, and Australia will meet all its treaty obligations to prevent proliferation, the fact remains India is currently not a signature to any nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Given these sentiments, and if uranium is indeed such a positive aid to cutting carbon emissions, is it time we had THAT debate (again) about nuclear power in our own back yard?

members can vote with their conscience so that honestly held opinions on both sides of this debate can be expressed.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at least a step in what this writer hopes is the right direction. It remains to be seen how Tony Abbott will react and whether or not he will also allow coalition MPs a conscience vote on this issue, something a resurgent Malcolm Turnbull has already called for. It should also be said that

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it time we had THAT debate (again) about nuclear power?â&#x20AC;? Surely recent, and much earlier, events in Japan must count for something? The ALP conference has also given at least some support for same-sex couples who wish to marry. To quote the Prime Minister: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;Ś the party platform now supports letting gay men and lesbians marry. And we agreed that on any parliamentary vote

Paul G Walsh Psychology

Mr Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims that every vote in the House of Representatives is already a conscience vote for coalition members are, quite frankly, a joke. Politicians tread a fine line between balancing the twin duties of representing their constituents and their party. And when it gets to the floor of the parliament, usually the party wins.

THIS week the Bendigo Community Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market welcomes a new stall holder in The Australian Meat Goat Company. Echuca Boer Goat Breeders Ian and Ruth Turpin are renowned in national and state showings for their Camboer Stud champions and have decided to branch out into the domestic goat meat market bringing a healthy red meat alternative to the existing meat market. Their focus is on premium quality goat meat domestically raised in the paddock and not the outback. Goatmeat is the most widely eaten meat in the world, with 70 per cent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population preferring it to all other red meats. Western cultures have been slow to catch on but the demand for goat meat is increasing as traditional goatmeat consumers migrate and non-traditional consumers become more adventurous in their eating habits, thanks to the likes of Masterchef. As it becomes more readily available consumers are being educated in their meat choices. Goat meat is the most nutritious red meat you

LEAN: Goat meat is a healthy red meat option. can eat. Naturally lean and much lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, it is also lower in calories than other meats, an excellent choice for those watching their weight and cholesterol. Meet Ian and Ruth on Saturday when they will be bringing their premium range to the market including: roasts, racks, cutlets, loin chops, diced, low fat sausages, burgers and shanks. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple recipe from Ruth to help your goatmeat tasting journey. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vicki Harrington

Ruthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roast Rub goat roast (leg or rolled) with lemon juice and then salt flakes. Pierce with a sharp knife to make small nicks to insert many slivers of garlic and fresh rosemary. Place in an oven bag or sealed roasting dish and slow roast (150 degrees) for 4 hours. Let stand for 30 mins prior to carving.

Markets this weekend: Bendigo Community Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market, Saturday 9am to 1pm Williamson Street and The Square, Bendigo Handmade Market, Bendigo Town Hall, Saturday and Sunday 10am to 4pm.

Now is the time for poet BENDIGO poet Tru Dowling says it feels a little strange finally to see her poems gathered in a classy chapbook, her name on the cover, the poems sitting firm and final on the white page. But it was always going to happen. “I feel like I can’t not write poetry,” Tru says. “The short story is the same – every word counts. Tru is well-known to the writing fraternity in Bendigo. She is completing honours in creative writing at La Trobe University, as well as teaching at Bendigo TAFE. She is a great believer in what her own creative writing teacher, Justin D’Ath, used to tell his classes: “It’s not whether you can teach writing, it’s that you can facilitate the creative enthusiasm, and encourage that. “Writing is one-tenth inspiration and nine-tenths determination. “If you really love it, it will show in your work.” Born in Castlemaine, Tru first started writing when, at 14, she was hospitalised while doctors tried to work out what was wrong with her digestion. It took a year for them to decide it had to do with a malfunctioning stomach

GOOD CHAP: Tru Dowling has published her first collection. flap, but in the meantime, the sick girl had found a passion for writing. Marriage and four children took up a fair amount of time in the intervening years, but when her fourth boy was a baby, Tru began to develop that passion. “I remember thinking, if I’m going to do more with my writing, now is the time,” she says. She enrolled in Continuing Education, picking up courses in novel writing, short story and poetry. By 2004, she had advanced so far she was asked to teach herself. A workshop with Castlemaine poet Ross Donlon led to the invitation to publish her chapbook with his Mark Time Press. Called Memoirs of a Consenting Victim, the collection contains poems that courageously tackling social

issues. The title poem is a passionate and angry exploration of domestic violence. There are also poems about family, and Tru says she is now working on a book which will take stories told by her father and craft them into poems. “He doesn’t think what I write is even poetry, he’s into bush ballads,” she says. “He’s such a personality, such a showman, and what makes his stories so entertaining is that he believes in them.” Tru Dowling’s Memoirs of a Consenting Victim will be launched by Lorraine Marwood on Sunday, December 11, 1pm, at Collins Booksellers, Fountain Court, Bendigo. There is a poem from Tru’s book online at the Bendigo Weekly bookclub: also, this week, bookclubbers recommend their best books for 2011.

Making light from the dark When is the right time to laugh at a situation? Are the rules set in stone, or is it a matter of judgement?

HOW soon is too soon? And who says so? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been guilty of an inappropriate or insensitive comment at a party, usually when somebody within earshot suffers from baldness, or sports an incredibly big schnozz. A good starting point to avoiding a social faux pas with the latter is to stop quoting lines from The Life of Brian, but the rules of civility gets a little opaque when the topic of discussion is a recent and awkwardly negative occurrence. Trying to judge when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to talk lightly about a death, or somebody losing a testicle, is like trying to ascertain when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to eat a pizza youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just nuked in the microwave, without suffering internal bleeding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one false move, in either situation, and the end result is pretty much the same. I got burnt in a different way at a local watering hole with a few cricket mates once, after ribbing a sensitive teammate about his batting average. As the season had only just finished, the throwaway quip went over like a wrought iron hand glider and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too soon!â&#x20AC;? they all cried over their pots of beer, in almost perfect unison. Which seemed strange as all the ducks were in place: a group of mates, in a pub, in a country that suffers badly from tall poppy syndrome.

BEN CAMERON ON LIFE

But sometimes the rule of â&#x20AC;&#x153;too soonâ&#x20AC;? trumps everything in the universal game of sh*t stirring. But it gets you thinking though: who exactly makes the rules on â&#x20AC;&#x153;too soonâ&#x20AC;?? Apart from sexually frustrated girlfriends, of course? Major retailers have played their cards early: thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no such thing as â&#x20AC;&#x153;too soonâ&#x20AC;?. My old supermarket back in Mildura, like most really, wheeled out the Christmas-related products usually around June; in a similar vein, Easter eggs were on the shelves not long after Ricky Ponting had tossed up on Boxing Day. Being a former checkout boy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d often hear cranky customers bark: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bloody hell, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selling Dennis Walterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas CD already?â&#x20AC;? more often than you heard Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Pussycat over the PA. In comedy however, timing is everything. No comedian wants to tread too carefully, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be Michael Richards in a black comedy club either. Traditionally, the comic floodgates open via text. I remember receiving â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cricket is a dangerous sport, it was only a matter of time before somebody was killed by a bouncerâ&#x20AC;? one early Sunday morning.

Considering it was two days after David Hookes had been decked outside a St Kilda pub, that was clearly a case of too soon. But at what point can the old adage â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we can laugh about it now...â&#x20AC;? be applied? At what point are people fair game for wearing a really bad hair piece? How much time has to pass before family members can finally stop the charade and admit to Russell Crowe that A Good Year was actually a pile of crap? An acute social antennae, some charm and the ability to read faces,

SPRING SUMMER SEASON

and dig yourself quickly out of a hole, are the essential tools really. But we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too precious either. In the days after September 11, the release of a film called Collateral Damage, the latest Arnold Schwarzenegger star vehicle (more a Leyland P76 than a Lamborghini) was pushed back due to the storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similarity to the events at the twin towers. A gross over reaction? Probably, although these were paranoid times, where a media analyst on CNN said it was the end of all action movies, especially those with

lots of explosions, and crazy terrorists with guns. He was partly right: society wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared to watch any more Arnie movies, and the world eventually stopped talking about 9/11, like junior wizards do about Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter books. So the rule is we can all eventually find the humour in most things, as long as enough time has passed. With one exception: Essendon losing the 1999 preliminary final to Carlton. Some wounds just never heal.

Bendigo still had the name Sandhurst in 1890 yet debate raged in the community on the benefits of each of the respective names. There were those who had been born here from the mid 1850s onwards that felt quite at home with the name Sandhurst, the name they had grown up with. Then there were others who harked back to the glory days of the early alluvial gold rush, when the name of Bendigo was synonymous with an immensely rich goldfield. There were numerous examples of the original name Bendigo being used for institutions, businesses, newspapers and organisations. in the same year, 1890, the effects of the general and shipping strike were keenly felt, particularly through the lack of coal supplies which had a profound impact on train transport, gas production and foundry work in particular. Hand in hand with the strike was also a rise in unionism in Bendigo. The Trades and Labour Council received a boost from general dissatisfaction with wages and conditions of work, not only for men but also, surprisingly, for single women working as tailor-

The wooden building was now already 17 years old and many students had already had the benefit of being educated there. The weatherboard school building had been constructed as two large rooms which had been built in a T configuration. The top of the T faced south and was on an angle of almost 45 degrees to the fire lookout tower which was part of the Central State School situated on Camp Hill. From his vantage point, a fire spotter detected the glow of a fire at about 5.30am on Sunday, July 13, 1890 at irishtown. The fire spotter started to ring the fire bell. At almost the same time a young man, Alfred Skurrie, who lived close to the school, also noticed that the school building was on fire and he hurriedly forced his entry into the building.

Alfred had found a ladder under the school veranda, which he placed next to one of the windows, which he succeeded in opening and so gained his entry. Young Alfred grabbed maps, wall charts and other articles as well as continuing to move out the lighter furniture. Willoughby Pain, who

worked at the Bendigo gas Company Works in Lower Bridge Street, (now called Weeroona Avenue) also lived close to the school and he helped Alfred Skurrie move portable items out of the burning building. Soon other neighbours arrived at the scene, as did the Little ironbark Fire Brigade Unit, which was situated in Buckley Street several house blocks from Moran Street. This brigade was a branch of the Temperance Fire Brigade located on the uphill side and to the rear of the Masonic Hall (The Capital) in View Street. James and donald Walker along with H Blair arrived with their fire reel

holding the fire hoses. Their hoses were connected via a hydrant to the nearest fireplug to the school, a distance of about 275 metres. Unfortunately their hoses were unable to reach anywhere near the fire. Cohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fire Brigade was the next on the scene and they connected their hoses onto those of the Little ironbark Brigade, with the Temperance Fire Brigade also joining forces attempting to quell the blaze, which by this time had got a good hold on the southern section of the school building. All the combined brigades efforts were to effectively prevent the whole school building from being destroyed.

ENTERTAINED

LET’s go! BEN CAMERON

DAVID Campbell is taking some of the 80s out of the 80s. For new album Let’s Go, the son of Jimmy has taken the DNA of classic tracks like Shout To The Top and Tainted Love,

removed the signature fat of keyboard and drum machine, and injected some big band brass and strings. “The attitude we took on this album was... what if it had real strings? And real drums?” Campbell ponders.

“In a certain way it made it easier to attack this era... but it made some songs much more difficult. “(But) when the songwriting’s good, you can do anything.” Reinterpreting the hits

David Campbell

Let’s Go is a pretty apt title for a bloke who talks with a rapid fire intensity, and works like the proverbial trojan. “A lot of people make the music industry seem like it’s all glamour, fun and guns, and it can be at times, but you’ve got to work really hard to keep ahead of the game,” Campbell says. “I’m getting to my 40s now and there’s young, prettier singers who will come and take the title, and I’ve got to stay ahead of that. “And I’ve got a family to support. “But there’s a heap of people who work much harder than me, like blokes in mines and nurses and teachers.” It’s a bond he shares with his dad, even though they come from far different worlds in terms of music. “I watched my dad work his guts out for all of his career,” Campbell says.

“I never take anything for granted, he had highs and lows in his career.” He admits there has long been a distance between them, but right now it seems more logistical than emotional. “There’s always been a distance because he works all the time and I work all the time,” Campbell says. “The last few years we’ve got a bit closer, he wants to be a good grandfather. “But that being said, most grandfathers don’t tour with their mates around the country to thousands of people every night. “He’s an icon, a legend, and he has to keep ahead of the game. “Like a shark he has to keep moving.” David Campbell plays The Capital Theatre on June 7 and 8. Let’s Go is out now.

behind the second British invasion of the decade was a natural selection for Campbell, whose formative years can be found in the era of leg warmers and the electric boogaloo. “I grew my hair, got acne and tried to rebel a bit,” he says of his teenage years. “So it’s quite close to my heart.” Starting with an initial squad of 35 tunes to work with, narrowed down to a tight 12, Let’s Go continues Campbell’s love for breathing new life into classics – he even gave Cold Chisel’s Cheap Wine a swing makeover once. “It worked beautifully,” Campbell says. “I do believe you can breathe new life into things. “For somebody who doesn’t write their own songs, I try and choose the best ones I can. “These are the ones that resonate with me.”

THE Bride Stripped Back has been stripped back, and reinvented. After an exhausting search to replace former members Josh DeAraugo, Michael Lowe and Rob Parsons, lead singer Natalie Edith turned to the bottle for inspiration, like many musos before her. “It was only because of a hazy night on a few wines with Jess (Sargeant) and Dan (Rolls) listening to my past EPs that I decided to go with a completely different line-up,” Edith says. “The last guys were definitely difficult to replace.” So those drinking partners of Rolls (electric guitar) and Sargeant (percussion and backing vocals) have joined the band. “Instead of trying to recreate what I had with the boys I thought it made sense to reinvent the band,” Edith says. “Listening to those CDs made me appreciate some of the raw innocence of those recordings and trig-

Natalie Edith gered something in me that made me want to go back to that style of music.” So The Bride version 2012 will be a different beast, in sound and personnel. “It was a hard decision,” Edith says. “I love the full rock outfit, but with the type of shows we have coming up in 2012 it feels right to go with a more laid-back approach. “It’s completely different... this new band is defi-

nitely more acoustic and raw. “I would say its like alternative folk country. “For me it’s been a long time coming, I have tried fighting that style of music for a while because I love rock but it seems like this is the direction the universe wanted for my music.” The Bride’s new EP, out in January and recorded by Ricki Rae, will be the final legacy of the old line-up, which was started before the split.

“It’s epic, huge drums and an overall massive sound,” Edith says. “I also plan to record an acoustic EP in my new studio to go alongside it.” The Bride Stripped Back play Gigfest in January, the Echuca Riverboats Festival in February, and the Kyneton Roots and Boots Festival in March. The Bride Stripped Back play Gigfest on January 21, and the Echuca Riverboats Festival on February 17-19.

Close shave as mos go west WHAT began as a friendly challenge has become much more serious, following the Movember shave off between staff at St John of God Hospital and its over-theroad neighbours, Bendigo Day Surgery. Six Bendigo Day Surgery Mo Bros turned up last Thursday for the agreed showdown just after noon in the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atrium, with loud music (The Good, the

Bad and the Ugly), garish cowboy hats, hairy moustaches and plenty of attitude â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus a perpetual trophy board to record the winners of the challenge for years to come. St John of God nurses were on hand to remove the moustaches, and some of the toughest-looking hombres were spotted with a tear in their eye as the razors bit. Some claimed the nurses

were less gentle on the men from up the hill, others preferred to think they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite handle the pressure. The St John of God Mo Bros have vowed to be more than ready for the challenge next year, with more intimidating outfits.

THE timing of this excellent new show, Made in Hollywood: Photographs from the John Kobal Foundation, at the Bendigo Art Gallery could have been better. Sandwiched in between the Wedding Dress and Grace Kelly blockbusters, an exhibition of historic photographs from Hollywood tips the balance of the galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program too much towards both history and celebrity glamour. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while since visitors to BAG have been able to contemplate new Australian art: The Arthur Guy Memorial Painting Prize closed in early April, and there was only time for a brief airing from the permanent collection before American Dreams, the exhibition of photography from the George Eastman archives, took up the temporary display space.

of the stars Understandably, BAG director Karen Quinlan must have found it impossible to turn down the opportunity to have the first showing of this Hollywood photography exhibition here. Again, it’s something of a coup for the over-achieving regional gallery, but it’s a coup which comes at a small cost. With the building works due to begin almost as soon as the Grace Kelly show closes in mid-June next year, it will mean there may have been no showcase for contemporary work for 18 months by the time the gallery is up to full speed again. In other words, momentum built from the establishment and growth of shows such as the Arthur Guy Painting Prize for the gallery’s credentials in contemporary art will surely take a hit, exacerbated by the fact that this window of opportunity for such work has been taken up by a historic photography show. These photographs are, nevertheless, a brilliant opportunity to both enjoy the glamorous history of the most powerful cultural industry of the 20th century, and to understand what kind of values and ideologies were at play during the creative early years of Hollywood’s boom. John Kobal was, like so many of those central to

ABOVE: Ronald Reagan 1940; gelatin silver print. Hollywood history, an immigrant. Born in Austria in 1940, he went with his family to Canada 10 years later, then, at 18, to New York with the hope of becoming an actor. He was even in those early days a collector of memorabilia. Gradually becoming one of the best-credentialled historian of movies ever, he also understood that the stuff the studios were discarding as ephemera – posters, stills, publicity shots of stars – was, in fact, valuable history. A year before he died in London in 1991, Kobal set up a Foundation to look after his collection, and to raise money for the appreciation of portrait photography. The show now on at BAG was originally called Glamour of the Gods: Hollywood Por-

traits, and opened at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in California in 2008. It was at the National Portrait Gallery in London in October this year, before touring for the first time to Australia. For people interested in photography, these prints are, each one, studies in light and form. For culture-watchers, they are almost too rich to contemplate. Johnny Weismuller in homo-erotic glory as Tarzan, Katharine Hepburn refusing the photographer’s attempt to make her a vamp, and Alfred Hitchcock just so darned knowing about film’s myth-making power: wonderful, challenging stuff. As always, the show is carefully displayed, with clear wall-texts to tell us a little about when the photograph was taken and why. It’s a pity that BAG curator Tansy Curtin wasn’t given the opportunity to write a little about the cultural meanings behind the photographs to invite the viewer to muse a little on what kinds of myths Hollywood created. It would be entertaining and interesting to hear what she has to say about the difference between a Marlon Brando pose and, say, a Rita Hayworth. What did these stars represent? Made in Hollywood: Photographs from the John Kobal Foundation is at Bendigo Art Gallery until February 12.

Take it away The Greenaway Way Greenaway Bins customer Narelle stone said it was the environmental aspect that motivated her to contacting Greenaway Bins. “We found that our rubbish bin was always more full of garden waste than anything else. We down sized to the smaller council bin and have found the savings have almost paid for our Greenaway Bin. The biggest saving of all is the easy disposal that gives us more time to relax and enjoy our garden, with the knowledge we are reducing the landfill problem.”

FRANKIE J

SMALL BREED CROSS TERRIER, TAN MALE, 12 MONTHS

Hi there, my name is Frankie J and I’m a forthright little man who enjoys strutting his stuff. I quite enjoy the company of small female dogs, but other males and larger dogs feel the edge of my ego! I’m best suited to a home with no cats. I will make a great companion for someone who is looking for a lovely dog who is not very demanding. I will be desexed upon adoption.

Very comfortable and great to escape to after a hard day’s work.

Almost new!

DMH, TABBY/WHITE MALE, 3 YEARS

Hi there, my name is Tad and I’m a very lovely boy who is just so super gentle and very great potential. I’m a bit shy but I certainly would be a great companion and mate to have. I would love to go home to a quiet lifestyle, as noise might be too overwhelming for me. I’ll be desexed upon adoption. The warm weather is here. Please check backyards are well maintained and check for snake activity to keep your pets safe. Grass seeds are a problem at this time of year so please ensure that you check your pets regularly for overall health

CYCLING

Gearing up for the climb Click on this story online at www.bendigoweekly. com.au to see a video of the event

HIGH MARK: Qi Zhou is worth watching.

TECHNIQUE: Hill climbs can be made easier.

EDDIE BARKLA foot is not used to rotate across the top and bottom of the stroke. Selecting a harder gear, then standing is the better way to learn to stand and pedal. Keeping the body still and upright over the pedals

you are better placed to ride in a bunch, but there are some finer points to take into consideration for both riding up hill and coming down. Concentration levels need to be sharp as well as being alert in watching the road and line being taken by other riders by staying off the wheel a little. Try not to ride the brakes, tap your brakes

Getting over the fear of standing is often related to poor gear selection. minimises the temptation to sway from side to side which reduces the power created through the pedals. With the right gears the rotation of the pedals becomes more of a fluent action with equal pressure through both legs and feet across the top and bottom of the stroke as well as pushing down and pulling up. When standing, make sure you take your bike forward, do not pull back on the handle bars to bring your body up out of the saddle, this will send the bike shooting backwards. When you have begun to master the art of hills,

more often or try to get out of the direct draft and allow the wind to take speed off. When on the front keep pedalling consistently. When in the bunch don’t just roll with legs idle, keep your legs moving slowly just enough to stay in touch with the gear. Keeping the blood flowing is important to be ready for the next uphill. Remaining relaxed but alert of the group movement and speed will allow a safe response for you and members of your bunch. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

Quality on show By BEN CAMERON

SEVERAL Bendigo schools have performed well at the Australian Schools Basketball Championship this week. Girton Grammar’s junior boys team will play for gold today, while Bendigo Senior College’s senior

boys team will fight for the bronze at Flora Hill. The entire competition, including 110 teams from across the country and also from China and Singapore, has run smoothly, Bendigo Stadium’s sports and competition manager Craig Green said. “It’s been excellent,”

TEST THE BEST Bike Demo @ Strathdale Community Ctr. WHEN: Sat 17th & Sun 18th Dec. BENDIGO WHERE: Crook St. & McIvor Rd. TIME: 8am - 3pm Both Days Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

You have the privilege of encountering some of the issues up front and directly. The need for fairness in your primary relationship is the playing field. Some of the things we share with another include our time, energy, intimacy, and last but not least, our resources.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19): Your ability to work well with others is yielding favorable results in your current life direction. It is probable that emotional injuries from the past are being soothed. Previous effort to improve personal health routines is now yielding favorable results. There is an attractive glow about you that others notice. Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Take up whatever activities you need on a daily basis to improve personal health care. You may begin to feel a compulsion to clean up files, closets, or other areas of detail. After the weekend you may become angry due to a misunderstanding. Chill before you yell. Use special caution when driving or handling tools.

he said. “We’ve had strong attendances and the quality of basketball has been strong.” One of the major talking points of the week has been 14-year-old Chinese centre, Qi Zhou. At 217cm tall, he might just attract some NBA talent scouts in coming years.

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): Cheering and healing circumstances concerning children or a lover materialise before your eyes. This is not sheer luck. It is the end result of past effort between you. On a different level this may be a time in which your past creative work is gaining progress and recognition from others.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19): Saturn is your ruling planet. Its transition into Libra will bring a major transition into your life. If, for any reason, you have allowed yourself to become corrupt, it will be exposed. Assuming you have not, then you are facing a time of realistic change in your work in the world. You may need to withdraw energy from one activity in order to apply yourself fully to another project.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): This is a time of high energy for you. You are experiencing the positive outcome of healing energy that you have been spreading about your world. You get the message now that you are not alone, that others hear you and share your idealism. It is showing signs of going far beyond your personal circle.

You may be especially concerned about the feelings of feminine family members. Depending upon the time of day, you could view the situation through one or another lens so it is hard to get a handle on what is really truth here. The issue may be about personal or family property. Make an effort to rise above the immediate question until you find a point of truth, one great enough to satisfy everyone. This is a time in which setting boundaries is useful. Someone may have been assuming power that interferes with your space. Leos do not like to snap at others, but now may be a good time to draw a line. Self-assertion without rancor is a far more effective tool than allowing yourself to be pressured into a tantrum.

You must gather all your energy together to accomplish an important task at this time. The initiation of the goal may have begun last winter but now it materializes and demands definite and clear intentionality of purpose. Scorpios are strong and you will manage.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22): You may breathe a sigh of relief over the next month as Saturn moves onto the next sign. You have worked hard to create a new identity over the last three years and now the time arrives to materialise the results. Anger stashed in the background might rear its ugly head now. Acknowledge it and let it go.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): Help from the feminine is flowing your way right now. Love and social life are given a big green light. Activities involving organizations you support will go smoothly and be personally rewarding. If travel is on the agenda, you are likely to meet new and very interesting people. Your community network offers support.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

Irritability and a tendency to short temper may be your companion this week. Beware the temptation to obsess over minor issues. Take especially good care of your body at this time. You are in a physically low cycle and subject to accident or minor injuries with tools, or vehicles.

UP hill and down dale, the lofty heights and deep valleys are where the bike rider’s character and mettle is shaped and strengthened. Hills, once you get your mind around them, can be better than a long flat ride where you are more likely to encounter a head or cross wind that can be far more of a challenge. For every uphill there is bound to be a downhill that allows a degree of recovery and a reward for every rise conquered. What seems to be one of the biggest challenges for newcomers on the bike with hills, is getting the gearing right to match the power to weight and level of fitness. Hills, most of the time, are best ridden at your own pace and by keeping control of your breathing and pedal rhythm until you have established the strength and endurance to work the legs. Often gears are changed too soon, new riders see the hill, start to feel overwhelmed and go for the softer gears. Each gear change slows their pace down considerably. Finding what is your optimum cadence for the power outputs requires the mind to be at rest and the diaphragm to be in good working order to work the lungs and feed the oxygenated blood to the muscles. Keeping soft hands on the handle bars, feet flat on the pedals and looking ahead not down also helps in a hill climb. Getting over the fear of standing is often related to poor gear selection. When the full body weight rises over the pedals they drop to the bottom of the stroke quickly and the

Emu Valley Cricket Association – Division 1 Top bowling puts United in a tough spot, but opponents fail to score the runs needed

SAFE: But willing hands were ready to take the wicket

Mandurang fall short IN beautiful sunshine, the top two sides battled it out at Mandurang with United batting first. Thanks to some terrific bowling by Leigh Haw with three wickets, and good support from Kris Raukola and Cain Ladiges with two each, United were restricted to the modest total of 125 But it would be a winning score as Mandurang were bundled out for 123, and, if not for Geoff Thompson (70), it could have been a lot worse. Alex Collins took four wickets and Kieren Nihill, playing his first game this season, chimed in with three wickets. West Bendigo posted 186 for Sedgwick to chase with Joel Purdy (62 not out) and Glen Wallis (37 not out) leading the way. Sedgwick looked quite comfortable in the run chase needing 33 runs off the final nine overs, only to have a late order batting collapse to fall agonisingly one run short. Joel Purdy enjoyed a good all round game finishing with two wickets. Maiden Gully’s 4/151 was too good for Axe Creek who could only muster 105 in reply, with Mark Smith (37) and Leigh Draper (33) again leading the way at the top of the order, with Mark Brayshaw taking two wickets. Only Charles Ready (26) showed any resistance against an attack led by an inspiring spell of bowling by Mark Roberts, 3/5

from eight overs, including five maidens. Emu Creek made 7/171 with McCarthur (43) getting good support from Rowe (38), Simon Marwood (30) and Ash Raeburn (28) too good for Golden Gully’s 132, with Darren DeMarchi (33) leading the way with the bat. McCarthur claimed three wickets and Simon Marwood and Hancock, two each. In the final game of Round Five, Marong’s 6/230, with Scott Ross (99) and Richard Murphy (63), had enough runs to keep Spring Gully still looking for their first victory, replying with 6/177. Ricky Mannix (54 not out) and Luke Bell (43) batted well while the Marong bowlers shared the wickets around. Umpires for Division One are Colin Brayshaw (West Bendigo v Golden Gully), Alan Clements (Emu Creek v Maiden Gully), Tony O’Connell (United v Marong), Greg Reeves (Sedgwick v Spring Gully) and Ernest Lowndes (Axe Creek v Mandurang). Division Two umpires are Geoff Frost (Golden Gully v West Bendigo), Rod Southon (Maiden Gully v Emu Creek), Leigh Scherger (Spring Gully v Sedgwick), Laurie Holding (Mandurang v Axe Creek) and no appointment for the Marong v United match.

Spirit stalls again EVERY game from here on in will be massive, star Bendigo Spirit centre Gabe Richards said, after their up and down season continued with an eight-point loss to Bulleen on Wednesday night. In front of a packed house, swelled by competitors from the Australian Secondary School Championships, Spirit were hoping to follow up their 39 point shellacking of the AIS last weekend, but were undone by Rachel Jarry, who netted a 23 points in the opening half. “I think we are at the point in our season now, where every game is now a big game,” Richards said.

“The bottom line is, if we want to play in the finals, which is of course our goal, then we have to win. “We just can’t afford to lose anymore. We just need to find a way to all be firing together.” It was a night of mixed fortunes for the Spirit, as they went down 76-68, trying to find their second of the season against the reigning premiers. Kristi Harrower returned to form with 25 points, nailing five from outside the perimeter, while collecting five assists and four rebounds. And Richards wore WNBL star and Australian Opal Liz Cambage like a glove, keeping her to just 16 points, while shooting 15 herself.

“Liz is just such an imposing player to have to match up on,” Richards said. “It’s rare in my life to feel short, but I definitely do against her. “It was handy to get her in foul trouble early, so I just kept attacking her.” More concerning however was the form of stars Tess Madgen and Deanna Smith, who failed to shine, with eight and four points respectively, and an overall leaky defence. “We wanted our focus to be on defence, yet we just couldn’t get it done,” Richards said. The Spirit will be keen to take their frustration out on the AIS at home this Saturday night.

Call of the ball Soccer champion changes codes to put some thunder in the step of Bendigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football league By BEN CAMERON

A BENDIGO soccer champion has turned her back on the game to help guide the Bendigo Thunder to greater heights. For the past decade, Emma Wolters has achieved practically everything as captain and coach at the Epsom Soccer Club, from league best and fairest (she won the Loris Browning Medal in 2009 and 2010) and a league scoring award, despite having limited knowledge of the game when she first ran onto a soccer pitch. However, Wolters will walk away from the game after signing as an assistant coach for the Bendigo Thunder in the Victorian Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Football League, earlier this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of the hardest things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a big part of the

club... I fell in love with the game. Soccer filled the void with no local womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football team to play for, but I always wanted to go back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d done everything I could do with Epsom.â&#x20AC;? While Wolters has played three years with the now-defunct Bendigo Vipers, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent the past 10 years chasing a round ball, not an oval one. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doubt her ability to change codes as a player and coach, as Wolters is a self-confessed footy nut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually understand AFL football a lot better than soccer,â&#x20AC;? she said. She said both sports have similar principles, which would hold her in good stead assisting Thunder head coach Russell Jeffrey. The Bendigo Thunder begin pre season at Weeroona Oval next Wednesday from 6pm.
