FLAB FIGHT By ANTHONY RADFORD

THE Bendigo Weekly is bringing the State Government’s focus on reversing the city’s obesity crisis to your letter boxes. The Weekly today launches the Better Health Club, to help the government create a welcome environment for its $105 million Prevention Community Model to beat the obesity epidemic. Figures show Greater Bendigo residents are some of the fattest in the state, with 56.9 per cent of locals overweight or obese. As such, Bendigo has been chosen as one of the cities for the trial program. The government will work with local schools, the City of Greater Bendigo council and Bendigo Community Health to find out what programs will work best for the city. The Better Health Club will give locals one easy access point to find out all they need to know about how to lose weight and live better, and give tips and advice from the government’s Better Health Channel. Health Minister David Davis praised the campaign. “The Bendigo Weekly is taking a strong leadership role in helping to promote healthier lifestyles in the Bendigo community through the Better Health Club,” he said. “I am pleased to be able to lend

my support to this and I’m pleased that the Department of Health has been able to support this publiclyspirited program through the Better Health Channel and the Prevention Community Model. “More exercise, better eating and healthier lifestyles will contribute to a longer living and healthier community with lower rates of chronic preventable disease. “I welcome the government’s partnership with the community and its leaders such as the Bendigo Weekly.” Weekly general manager Peter Kennedy said the campaign was not about measuring lost kilograms. “We were concerned when we saw these figures and wanted to do something about it,” he said. “We don’t want the Better Health Club to turn it into a competition to lose weight, because people can become disheartened early. “What we want to do is show people how easy it can be to live a healthier life, without needing to dramatically change their lives.

nick,” the Maldon-based conservator said. “We’re not too concerned about the cloth, but the mirrors pop out from the cardboard backing, so we’re consolidating the segments and the seams. “Basically, you look at the way things were done to make him and copy that.” Ms Jack said lack of funds in the past may actually have saved Loong from the fate of other 19thcentury Imperial dragons, which have been replaced by newer, brighter dragons in Chinese communities across the world. “He was originally a very brightly coloured dragon, but he’s

LOONG may be a bit faded, and his mirrors a little cracked, but he is famous around the world. This week, conservator Jude Schahinger began a complete nose-to-tail overhaul of the 120-year-old ceremonial dragon, who will take part in the Chinese New Year celebrations on January 28. Working with Golden Dragon Museum director Anita Jack and Maggie Atrum of the Embroiderers’ Guild, Ms Schahinger is undertaking the first full make-over of Loong. “Structurally, he’s in good

faded over the years,” Ms Jack said. “He was never replaced, like other dragons, because there was never the money. “Now, he’s a cultural, traditional and religious artefact, so we would never change him. “He’s the only remaining 19th century dragon, one of a kind, and internationally famous.” Following Chinese New Year, the museum will publish a book on the history of Loong, written by Eugene Law. His participation in the festival this year will be used to assess the affect of such events on heritage items such as Loong. “We’ll prepare a condition re-

port as part of our heritage-listing status,” Ms Jack said. “We’ve never had detailed reports, and this will give us information too about Sun Loong (the museum’s younger dragon), and the conditions they can stand.” Loong will also be part of the Golden Dragon’s textile exhibition which will tour in the United States, Hong Kong and England in 2013. Ms Schahinger said this is the first time she’s worked on a dragon, although she’s worked on dinosaur bones. “You do get very fond of something you work on like this,” she said.

Golf clubs are talking

EAGLEHAWK Golf Club is “in the best position it has been for many years”, according to president Barry McPhee. “This year the club has operated close to break-even, the first time for many years,” Mr McPhee said in a letter to members in response to last week’s story in the Bendigo Weekly. “In January 2011 our club had 227 members with a Golf Link handicap; currently it stands at 252. “The club’s loan is currently $300,000 with an overdraft of up to $50,000; this compares favourably with assets of approximately $1.9 million.” City of Greater Bendigo council is preparing to commission a $60,000 strategic review of golfing clubs in Bendigo,

Jones slams authority over media role

Coverage of this story is available on the website www.bendigoweekly.com.au

ex-mayor in a spin over council job By ANTHONY RADFORD

A FORMER City of Greater Bendigo mayor has attacked the council for looking to employ a new spin doctor for almost $100,000. Despite already having a suite of marketing and media staff, the council has created the position of communications and media coordinator to oversee them all. The full-time position attracts a salary of up to almost $96,000 plus superannuation. Former mayor David Jones said the appointment in an election year was a waste of money, “breathtakingly cynical” and “beyond belief”. “I was shocked to read that in an election year council are advertising for a communications person with a salary range of $85,000-$95,000,” he said. “With many questions being asked re council’s performance and waste of money it is breathtakingly cynical to waste this type of money in an attempt to spin the council’s message. “While a councillor, I suggest that on average there was one press release per day, which works out at about $400 per press release. “Really, it’s beyond belief.” Mr Jones attacked the detail of the role, as well as

FLY THE FLAG: Patrick Clark and Robert Cook are tops in 2012. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

City honours top citizens ADVERTISING executive Robert Cook and young achiever Patrick Clark have been named the City of Greater Bendigo’s Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year for 2012. Mr Cook was recognised for his contribution to the local community through sport, business and his charitable and humanitarian work. In 2001 he founded Bendigo’s Horizon House, an organisation that helps homeless young people. As the current chairman of Horizon House he is involved in fundraising, community engagement and mentoring. He takes a hands-on approach and personally serves breakfast to high school kids every week from the Horizon House mobile youth canteen. Mr Cook is a life member of Apex and Bendigo United Cricket Club and was named Life Governor of the Bendigo

Base Hospital in 1967 when he was only 23. He served as an honorary probation officer for 19 years and was a member of the Bendigo Salvation Army Committee and Legacy Chapter. Mr Clark, who completed VCE at Bendigo Senior Secondary College in 2011 is already a strong leader with a passion for issues that affect young people. He has an impressive list of achievements and won the 2011 Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority’s VCE Achiever Award for leadership qualities and commitment to community service. In 2001 he received an Australian Centenary Medal in recognition of his community service. Mayor Alec Sandner said he was thrilled to name both this year’s top citizens. “Both are outstanding individuals who have made important contributions to

our local community and beyond and deserve this honour,” he said. “Robert Cook’s community spirit has been present from a very early age. Wherever he has seen a need he has rolled up his sleeves to provide support where he can. “He is a kind and giving individual with a genuine concern for the people of the Greater Bendigo community especially young people.” Cr Sandner said Mr Clark was a great role model for young people. “Patrick has a strong sense of social justice and commitment to give back to the community,” he said. “He is a wonderful leader and advocate for young people. “The city is proud to award both Robert and Patrick this great honour and I wish both of them an enjoyable and exciting year ahead.”

were reduced to a very small communications team,” he said. “This position is replacing another role. “The Communications and Media role advertised is very important to assist implementing the City of Greater Bendigo Community Engagement Framework in an environment of changing communication technologies. “The person will guide, develop and implement internal and external communication strategies and information programs. It is more than preparing press releases.” Mr Davies said the new role would be more than just a spin doctor. “The person will have highly developed skills in communicating, for varied audiences across a range of media, not just print media,” he said. “We want to ensure that all printed and electronic material, including webbased media, produced by the CoGB for residents, businesses, community groups and other clients is of the highest standard of readability, content and design. “That work requires flair and creativity, not spin David is talking about.”

UNHAPPY: David Jones. the philosophy behind it. “What was also striking was that one of the criteria was being ‘creative’,” he said. “Not being honest, not being truthful, not being open, but being ‘creative’. “As someone who has been on both the inside and outside of council, I believe I can judge how council sees itself and how the community sees the council. “Unfortunately, as this new position demonstrates the two views are far apart.” Council Executive Services manager Peter Davies rejected Mr Jones’ comments. “David Jones may not be aware that the manager of Marketing and Major Events who was employed when he was on council was not replaced and the staff

Pregnant cat gutted on fence A BENDIGO homeowner is concerned about animal cruelty following an incident at his property. George of Junourtoun awoke on Wednesday morning to find a horrific sight on one of his fences. “On the back fence were two dead foxes, and a cat,”

he said. “They had gutted the cat and pulled five kittens out of it and left them on the ground. It wasn’t nice. “They probably think they are heroes.” George rang the police, who didn’t think it was connected to a sign placed on

a Strathdale noticeboard threatening death to cats who wandered onto property. “It wasn’t my cat, but if it was I would be out to get them,” he said, “They also cut their legs and tied them around the fence.”

The lady or the frock? Grace Kelly exhibition ‘misses out on heart and soul of screen icon’

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

BENDIGO Art Gallery’s celebrity opening party, which will be attended by the new Grace, Princess Charlene of Monaco, will kick off what is likely to be the gallery’s biggest, most talked about show. Already, fashion and media celebrities such as Dannii Minogue have said yes to invitations to attend. With the heady mix of royalty, romance and glamour, all eyes will be on Bendigo for the exclusive Australian opening of Grace Kelly: Style Icon. Popular success is guaranteed, and in this country, where cultural criticism is almost non-existent, that will be all it takes. In London, where there still exists a small and well-informed cultural commentariat, the show, when it opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 2010, was called “frustrating”. While it is, in essence, a fashion exhibition, some visitors hoped for more. “The woman at the heart of this show is somehow rendered more absent than ever by the clusters of headless mannequins which are sporting her dresses,” Rhiannon Harries wrote in the Independent. She traced the problem to the source. “The reason so many adore Grace Kelly, the reason we might want to pore over the fabric of her clothes and inspect the minute scuffs on the Hermes handbag to which she gave her name, is that we fell in love with her physical presence on screen,” Harries wrote. Tasmanian-born Oxford academic Peter Conrad, writing in the

Observer, said the show looked, at first glance, “like the Paris morgue in the 1790s after a hard day’s guillotining.” All the bits and pieces – the frocks and ballgowns, the bags

and to “examine her glamorous Hollywood image and enduring appeal”. “The actress had often played upperclass, even royal parts on screen, which strangely anticipated her future role,” the V&A said.

Grace Kelly: Style Icon is organised by the V&A and the Grimaldi Forum, which is Monaco’s culture and convention centre. According to the V&A, it aims to show Kelly’s “spectacular wardrobe”

“The union of the Queen of Hollywood with a real prince (in 1956, when she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco) provided a wonderful story for the media, and it attracted attention and visitors to the small principality of Monaco.” Secured by Honorary Consul to Monaco Andrew Cannon, the Bendigo exhibition, and the visit of Princess Charlene, has the endorsement

of the current Prince of Monaco, Grace Kelly’s son Albert. “This exhibition is of great importance to my family,” he said. “Now in the final leg of its international tour, we are delighted that Princess Charlene will be able to attend.” It is 30 years since Princess Grace died in her car following a stroke, when she was 52. She had not made a film since her marriage, when she was 26. Style Icon aims to “examine her glamorous Hollywood image and enduring appeal”, and includes dresses she wore in the film High Society. “It also explores the evolution of her style as Princess Grace of Monaco, from her extensive wedding trousseau to her haute couture gowns of the 1960s and 1970s by her favourite couturiers Dior, Balenciaga, Givency and Yves St Laurent.” The focus on haute couture did not impress Conrad. He described Kelly the actor who was made immortal on screen through the work, mostly of “a misogynistic director who did his best to damage her marble demeanour” – Alfred Hitchcock. Conrad found the “relics detached from the body that wore them” a sad replacement of the flesh and blood woman. “The V&A has the skins she shed,” he wrote. “The best way to see Grace Kelly is to close your eyes and remember how she showed James Stewart her negligee and, making a promise that she still keeps in our fantasies, murmured, ‘Preview of coming attractions’.” Grace Kelly: Style Icon opens at Bendigo Art Gallery on March 11.

HIGH SOCIETY: From the film of the same name.

FULL OF GRACE: As the princess.

Win a Trip to Monaco Bendigo Art Gallery, in conjunction with the Monaco Government Tourist and Convention Authority, is running a competition in conjunction with the exhibition. Ticket holders who fill out an entry coupon at the gallery will enter into a draw to win two return flights from Melbourne to Monaco, three nights accommodation and complimentary entry to tourist attractions, total prize value approximately $14,000.

Dominic proves it’s never too late to say ‘I do’

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

IT’S taken seven decades for Dominic Pan to take the big step, but now he’s ready. Tomorrow, at the Chinese Museum in Bendigo, Mr Pan, 69, will marry Yu Xiuwan, 59. While the bride has been married before, for the groom, it’s his first time. His friends admit they were amazed to hear the Bendigo man had proposed to a woman from Da Lian in northern China, but when they got over their surprise, they were delighted. Mr Pan came to Bendigo first as a student, then went to work in Melbourne. When he retired, he

moved back to Bendigo, a decade ago. “I was introduced to Yu Xiuwan by a friend through her sister,” he said. “We corresponded, then, last year, I went to China to meet her.” Yu Xiuwan has relatives in Bendigo. Although she had to leave her two grown-up sons and their families behind in China, she said there are plenty of ways to correspond now, on the phone and internet. They will marry in traditional red (for luck) Chinese costumes. Mr Pan said he surprised himself with the decision to marry so late in life, but he is confident. “I don’t think I am too old, at my age,” he said, with a laugh.

Thefts spark security row

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

A SPATE of break-ins at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds has fuelled concerns about security at the North Bendigo site. Toni Chuhaj, who runs the take-away food van at the Sunday markets, said it has been broken in to four times in recent weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have cleaned me out and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just fed up,â&#x20AC;? Ms Chuhaj said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other people have told me they have been broken into as well, and no one is doing anything about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you need to do is put a security camera at the gate.â&#x20AC;? Showgrounds market manager Rob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill said Ms Chuhaj had been warned when she took over the takeaway site rental a year ago that her van was not secure.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The van is not supposed to be left there (outside one of the exhibition sheds), and we told her it would be at her own risk,â&#x20AC;? Mr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to look at the costs (of security cameras),â&#x20AC;? Mr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems to be this time of year every year that the problems come up.â&#x20AC;? Showgrounds manager Rod Bowles said security at the site is complicated by the camping and caravan park, which requires 24-hour access. The campsite caters mostly for exhibitors at major events, but is also the one site in Bendigo that can accommodate large motorhomes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do get campers we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want sometimes and we have rules in place to deal with that,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bowles said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time of year, we do seem to have more problems.â&#x20AC;? Mr Bowles said Haven (Bendigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crisis housing service) has been sending people to the campsite as a last resort when housing cannot be found elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be inhumane, we need to help people, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to push them out,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Marchingo said there are currently no â&#x20AC;&#x153;actively supportedâ&#x20AC;? Haven clients living at the showgrounds site.

Crusoe Reservoir beach plan revisited THE proposal to build a beach at Crusoe Reservoir has been refloated. Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said it was time to revisit the plan for the Kangaroo Flat body of water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reservoir has become a very popular swimming spot for families during the warm weather, and its popularity suggests that a beach would be a very welcome addition to the reserve,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On any given day during the summer there are many parents and children using the reservoir but there is

a muddy surface that could be vastly improved to make swimming a more pleasurable experience.â&#x20AC;? The City of Greater Bendigo council adopted the proposal for a beach at the reservoir in 2006 in its Master Plan, but has since backed away from the plans. The 300-metre beach was a key feature of the proposed development. Sand would extend from the edge of the bushland to a water depth of about two metres at full supply level. The back of the beach would be flat, with the front sec-

tion sloping into the water. Three rock groynes were to be constructed to minimise sand drift along the beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Greater Bendigo rejected the sand proposal because it might wash away,â&#x20AC;? Ms Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the potential for a fine pebble beach is a possibility and something that the community would welcome, given the popularity of the reservoirâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the popularity of the reservoir growing and the population growth in the Kangaroo Flat area, now would be a good time to revisit this proposal.â&#x20AC;?

Forgetting the lessons

never, ever be forgotten... but with time complacency does set in. “People go back to what they think is normal.”

Mr Brittain joined representatives from Bendigo Police, Crimestoppers and the City of Greater Bendigo to launch a hotline for Bendigonians to report any suspicious activity on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppers. com.au “Any piece of information, however small, is helpful,” Senior Sergeant Craig Gaffee said. Mayor Alec Sandner spoke of a large explosion at the Bendigo hospital in the early 1930s, when stressing how vigilance

after the event of fire was just as important as beforehand. “It was meant to kill... but fortunately it wasn’t placed in the right spot,” Cr Sandner said. “I’m told it was so ferocious the glass was blown out of the clock on the clock tower. “Nobody knew how or why it was done but the history books tell us a chance remark overheard in a hotel, some period of time later, led to the conviction of the person who did it.”

BENDIGONIANS are becoming complacent when it comes to bushfire prevention, a leading local fire expert said earlier this week. Bendigo CFA Operations officer Craig Brittain said the lessons from Bendigo’s own Black Saturday of 2009, when fires were deliberately lit, were being forgotten, despite our city being in a high-risk area. “We’ve seen some reckless behaviour in the past few days from individuals on high-fire risk days, in particular grass fires being started by an angle

About 900 Acer Aspire One 753 notebooks will be allocated to students completing a Year 11 program at Bendigo Senior Secondary College in 2012. The notebooks are loaned to

students for the academic year. While there is no direct cost, students will be responsible for the care of the notebook and liable for loss or damage. The rollout represents a change to the digital curriculum. Many subjects now provide eBooks for students, as a replacement for printed books.

Heartbeat pumps in more health funding

BENDIGO Health coronary care patients are reaping the benefits of a donation from Heartbeat Bendigo. The local support group has donated more than $2275 towards the purchase and installation of seven manual blood pressure monitors. The monitors are fixed above each coronary care bed allowing prompt access for staff to easily record patient blood pressure. There are multiple ways to record blood pressure in the intensive care environment, but often the traditional check using an arm cuff, hand-held pump and a stethoscope is just as critical as the more advanced method. A dedicated blood pressure machine per patient also decreases the risk of cross infection among vulnerable and critically ill patients. Bendigo Health Intensive and Coronary Care nurse unit manager Sue Tomlinson thanked Heartbeat Bendigo for its assistance in purchasing the equipment. “We are very grateful to Heartbeat Bendigo for their con-

tinued support of cardiac patients,” she said. “Through this donation, our staff and patients have access to the best and safest equipment available.” Bendigo Health Foundation director Jane Anderson said Heartbeat Bendigo was formed to support people with heart conditions and was known for their strong fundraising support of Bendigo Health. “Heartbeat Bendigo was formed on November 30, 1986 as a support group for cardiac patients and their families,” she said. “Since that first meeting, the group has raised in excess of $180,000 towards medical equipment for local cardiac patients. “Heartbeat Bendigo has a very active social group that not only raises funds but also offers members the chance to meet new friends and discuss their own experiences.” As well as raising funds towards cardiac patients, Heartbeat Bendigo members also volunteer to help with Bendigo Health’s cardiac rehabilitation program.

University campus draws 5000 into further education

Students flock to La Trobe Bendigo

LA TROBE Bendigo has cemented itself as the largest university campus outside Melbourne and Geelong, offering places to 5000 students for the first time. Campus executive director Andrew Skewes said 3000 of those students would come from outside Bendigo. “These are 3000 students coming to Bendigo to study, to live, to spend money and to work,” he said. hotographer “There are very few universities who could identify drawing that many students from outside their city. ”These numbers are up on last year, which was up on the year before that and the year before that.” Offers were strong on the campus’s core courses in Health and Education, but Mr Skewes said new strategic courses had also

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, January 20, 2012

Interns have a healthy outlook “Bendigo Health offers a comprehensive intern program in the areas of general medicine, general surgery, emergency, medical oncology, orthopedics, cardiology, psychiatry, general practice and rehabilitation medicine.” This year, eight of the 15 interns are Monash University graduates and seven of these studied in Bendigo. Three graduates of the University of Melbourne did clinical rotations in Bendigo, living and studying with Monash students.

Monash University works closely with local practitioners and Bendigo Health to train medical students in their last three clinical years, many of who are Bendigo Health interns in 2012. Of last year’s interns, soon-to-be hospital medical officers or HMOs, several will continue working at Bendigo Health. “With the shortage of doctors in rural Australia, it’s good news that extra interns are training and then choosing to live and work here in Bendigo,” Dr Nel said.

BENDIGO Health’s new interns have arrived with 31 staying for the whole year. Bendigo Health chief medical officer Andre Nel said it was great to see so many medical graduates opting to further their training here in Bendigo. “Working as a junior doctor can be very rewarding and also very demanding,” he said. “The internship provides new doctors with an opportunity to further develop their skills in a supported environment.

THE City of Greater Bendigo council is presenting an evening of jazz in the Bendigo Botanic Gardens as part of the Summer in the Parks Program. The popular Music in the Parks series is held every Friday night throughout January in picturesque gardens and reserves in and around Bendigo. Tonight the Ben Gibbons Quintet and the Mockbells will take to the stage at the Bendigo Botanic Gardens in White Hills from 7pm to 9pm. This promises to be a fantastic evening of entertainment in a beautiful setting. The Music in the Parks series is offered free of charge to the community and residents are encouraged to bring a picnic and a comfortable chair or blanket. Local community group, Social Little

Butterflies, will also provide some refreshments that can be bought on the evening. The Summer in the Parks Program also includes a range of activities and events that have been organised by local community groups and organisations. The full program can be found online at www.bendigo.vic.gov.au or you can collect a copy of the program from the Bendigo Visitor Information Centre in Pall Mall. You can also access information about Summer in the Parks via Facebook – Summer in the Parks 2011/2012. In the event of wet weather this evening, the jazz will be relocated to the Bendigo Town Hall on Hargreaves Street, Bendigo.

Council to respond to call for review By ANTHONY RADFORD

THE City of Greater Bendigo councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-heavy management structure will be put under a microscope as part of a proposed external review. Councillors received a report from senior staff at this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council forum outlining a response to the proposed review, put forward by two locals and supported by four former mayors. Avid council watchers Ted Coleman and Michael McKenzie put forward the review proposal late last year. They claim up to $5 million could be saved each year, and are calling for an independent review to look at this claim, and many others. One of the main reasons for the review is councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organisational structure. Council currently

manages a budget of about $140 million. It has five senior directors and 31 managers. The City of Greater Geelong manages a $245 million budget, has five senior directors and only 25 managers. Mr Coleman said the review was not politically motivated.

the cost overruns like $2,500,000 for the Hargreaves Mall, and of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to account for the millions in collateral costs for major projects like the multi-storey car park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roads, footpaths and general maintenance of suburban and rural areas fall behind.

Residents look to the present council for this type of impartial leadership â&#x20AC;&#x153;An independent reviewer and a board would take a comprehensive look at council and assist the public, staff and councillors identify savings, efficiencies, improvements and best practice ideas,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For too long council has assessed itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows of

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even the pavers in front of the Town Hall have become a costly joke.â&#x20AC;? Mr Coleman said the review was simply a reality check and would cost about $250,000, a similar amount to the Forest Street traffic slowing project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When our council feels financial pressure, se-

nior officers recommend increasing rates. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good enough,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inherent problem is that council reviews itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There appears to be not enough incentive for senior staff to seek improvement ideas, efficiencies, cost savings and new opportunities, while there appears too much pressure on councillors to deal with a plethora of less important matters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, we cannot emphasise enough the importance and responsibility of council passing on the outcomes of an independent review to the elected 2012 council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residents look to the present council for this type of impartial leadership.â&#x20AC;&#x153; The council report on the proposal is expected to go to the main council meeting next Wednesday.

Making waves Bendigo Ben Jones and Weekly with ...

Anthony Radford

Ben – It’s the local you know, 3BO. We are talking northern and central Victoria. Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford is back for 2012. We will start off with one that caught me by surprise, some of the golf clubs in Bendigo are in a touch of strife. Anthony – We ran a story looking at the financial troubles some Bendigo golf clubs find themselves in, and the fact there are mergers on the cards. We have more golf courses per head of population in Bendigo than a lot of other places, and they are finding it a bit tough. There is some real concern out there for the current situation of a lot of clubs, as well as down the track. We will have more on that this week. There is some talk about clubs merging and building a new boutique course at Epsom. Ben – I hope they can resolve this because a lot of these clubs did some great work during the drought to keep themselves viable and let’s hope they can survive through this tough patch. Interesting to read another celebrity is on their way to Bendigo, this time it’s a Minogue. Anthony – Sadly it’s not Kylie, but Dannii will be here for the opening of the Grace Kelly exhibition. It looks like being a starstudded opening, with Princess Charlene or Monaco coming, who would have been Grace’s daughter-in-law. I reckon Bendigo should prepare itself for a big event that will gain national headlines. Ben – Before we let you go, this one has come across everyone’s desk again, the planned beach at Crusoe Reservoir in Kangaroo Flat. Maree Edwards has put this up. I am interested in your thoughts on this one. It was last looked at in 2006, and dumped, but probably seems more viable now. But, it is unlikely financially. Anthony – Interesting one this one. This has been one of those fringe issues that has been around for years. From memory it was a former newspaper editor and a council manager who came up with this one a decade or so ago, probably over a few reds. I think the jury is out on this one. Financially it won’t float, but I can see the attraction, especially to those out that side of town.

Bendigo excluded from Basin Plan meetings BENDIGO has once again been totally ignored by the Murray Darling Basin Authority in the public consultation phase of the Basin Plan which is scheduled to conclude on April 16. Why is the Basin Authority holding no public meeting here? Bendigo is the largest Victorian population centre in the Murray Darling Basin and is totally reliant on the basin for its drinking water. The decision to exclude Bendigo from the ridiculously short list of public meetings demonstrates the continuing and contemptuous arrogance of the basin authority. The details of the public meetings can be found at www.mdba.gov. au/have-your-say/updates-and-events. I wonder if any local parliamentarians, environment groups or agricultural organisations have picked up on this exclusion of Bendigo? The basin plan has the potential to shut down Australia’s food production capacity. It is no wonder that the basin authority wants to fly under the radar and avoid public scrutiny of its methods. Chris Poynton, Bendigo

Goodwill squandered THIS group of councillors has squandered the goodwill and opportunity for meaningful change they were elected on in 2008 – we now have the same old story, but with different faces. Promises made on election material have quickly evaporated, leaving behind a nasty taste in the mouth. As part of its normal Wednesday business, the Bendigo council considered a petition championed by Ted Coleman and Michael McKenzie. The petition which comes off countless hours of individual (and unpaid) research and refinement, calls for an external review of the operations of the council. The proposed review is not a witch hunt or finger-pointing exercise; it is simply a call for an independent review to make sure we have got the best council structure that our money has paid for. Indeed, Mr Coleman and Mr McKenzie go to great lengths to point out their non-partisan, nonjudgemental methodology in their submission. However, despite all the best intentions from Mr Coleman and Mr McKenzie, the councillors and council officers seem certain to give short shrift to this meticulously re-

To buy a signed copy of any Glanville cartoon please phone 5442 5448

searched petition, no doubt citing cost or vague assertions that the council knows best. The Bendigo Weekly seems to be the only media outlet in town giving the campaign any oxygen – the council seems intent on smothering it with inane platitudes. This petition and review is a perfect opportunity for this council to leave an indelible mark on this city. Instead, they are happy with ugly carparking behemoths and hastily considered performance spaces. Rather than being a new broom sweeping into power, this council has very little time left to prove that it isn’t just the same old broom, sweeping up the same old rubbish. Michael Toman, Bendigo

Beach a washout THERE are far more important projects requiring council and community attention in Kangaroo Flat than the reckless spending of millions of dollars on a beach at Crusoe Reservoir as suggested by Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards. Ms Edwards would be better to join with the local community and urge the city council to support the community’s vision for a 50-metre swimming pool in the new aquatic centre proposed for Browning Street, instead of council’s preference for a corner-cutting 25 metres.

This is a once-in-three generation opportunity to provide a longlasting facility to the Kangaroo Flat community and residents in nearby suburbs including Maiden Gully, Marong and Lockwood. They make up what has been termed Bendigo’s southern growth corridor where the population will likely double in the next 30 years. The City of Greater Bendigo council, like government, has a limited pot of money. So funds must be spent wisely and without haste and are certainly not to be frittered away. Besides the pool there are many other more pressing needs in Kangaroo Flat including the constantly crumbling state of Mackenzie Street West and the increasing number of vehicles travelling Olympic Parade. For those of us who enjoy the setting of an inland beach at summer, we already have Lake Eppalock and Cairn Curran. In fact it is quicker to travel from Strathfieldsaye to Eppalock than across town to Kangaroo Flat. A third beach would be an extravagance that we simply cannot afford at this time. The money would be better spent on other more pressing projects. Chris Earl, Kangaroo Flat

How about a par three? READING your story about golf clubs going through tough times (Bendigo Weekly, January 13).

Why doesn’t one of the struggling clubs set their course up as a par three course? I am sure there are a lot of older people living in Bendigo who would like to see one start up. The one in Kyabram seems to be very popular. How about you do a survey to find out if there would be enough people out there to warrant it? I am sure it would benefit one of these struggling clubs and they would not have to close down or merge with another club. Y Ellis, Epsom

Proper debate around this legislation has been silenced; probably because of its anti-family, radical feminist ideologically based nature. It will ensure the destruction of more families, the suicide of more separated fathers and increase the distress of more fatherless children. It did not have bi-partisan support. An example, perhaps, of Julia Gillard’s year of decision and delivery? H Leach, Bendigo

V I E W P O I N T opinion

email: letters@bendigoweekly.com.au

A force for good NEWSPAPERS are often criticised for being too negative. It’s an easy criticism, but it’s also an easy target. News services follow the story, simple as that. They follow it no matter where it goes, no matter who it annoys and no matter what happens next. To a person on the wrong end of a news story, that can often be hard to fathom, but it is the real world and those who don’t get it shouldn’t be involved in public life. What is always missed in these arguments is the positive things news companies regularly do. What has been seen as “negative” angles on stories in the past few years have resulted in such things as saving Bendigo from running out of water – twice. Following the story and sticking to it has also assisted in the achievement for Bendigo of a bigger, better hospital. People seem to not read positive stories. It seems, too, that positive contributions made by news outlets to communities are also often forgotten. This week, the Bendigo Weekly is proud to introduce two major positives for the city. The first is the Better Health Club. Instead of just report-

with

PETER KENNEDY

Editorial Comment ing the story that 56.2 per cent of the city are obese or overweight, we chose, like the hospital and the water crisis, to do something about it. We have started the club to deliver all the information and stories people need to lose weight and live healthier lifestyles in the most-read publication in Bendigo – the Weekly. We want to make it as easy as possible for people, if they choose, to lose weight. We will unveil, over the next few weeks, more detail that will allow locals to join in, have fun and live better. We welcome community input in this most important initiative for a better life in Bendigo. The second major positive in this week’s Weekly is the announcement that Bendigo will have its own writers’ festival. Bendigo’s cultural heart is

strong, thanks mainly to the city’s galleries and theatres. We have an excellent library system, which will get even better when the redevelopment is completed. All capital cities, and many regional towns, have writers’ festivals but, until now, Bendigo has not had one of our own. Many newcomers, impressed by the city’s infrastructure and also how much cultural activity is going on here and in the region, wonder why we haven’t yet started up a writers’ festival to add to the city’s attractions. Weekly journalist Rosemary Sorensen was one of those newcomers, coming to us after many years as an arts and literary journalist. She saw that Bendigo is, right now, perfectly placed to create just such a festival. We have the expertise, the enthusiasm and the venues to make it work. For us at the Weekly it’s a perfect fit too. We will back the city and all those who have already put up their hands to be involved, and help make our writers’ festival a success. It is another way to show people visiting Bendigo that this is a city with (good) attitude.

Bendigo’s infrastructure is ready for the NBN Bendigo is one of 121 interconnect points of the NBN network in Australia. There is a large amount of telecommunications infrastructure already in place here, ready and able to help link up the NBN network. Bendigo’s valuable infrastructure includes: One of Telstra’s three Satellite Base Stations in Australia. The Short Street Exchange is one of the largest in regional Victoria and the likely location for the POI. Optus & NextGen networks. Data centres, including Bendigo Community Telco Data Centre. Bendigo is the home of the Community Telco Australia Group and its largest Community Telco. Bendigo Bank has a disaster recovery centre in Bendigo. BendigoTAFE is connected to the State Government fibre network. NBN Greenfields developments are here.

WEIGHT A MINUTE: The Weekly is doing something about obesity in Bendigo.

Respect must be shown for all

SHANE Warne used to be known as the master of spin, and it seems little may have changed this week with the Tweeting tweaker venting his frustrations about a heated incident with a cyclist in Melbourne. As is always the case, there are two sides to a story. Warne and his alleged lycraclad attacker begged to differ about who said or did what to the other. But it seems Warne may have been caught out by a third party who claims to have witnessed the mysterious incident and is backing the aggrieved cyclist’s version of events. Regardless, there’s a couple of points to note here. There are bad drivers on the road and there are bad cyclists on the road who fail

to respect the rules and other road users of all shapes and sizes. The pity of it all is that the actions of a minority of idiots can impact upon the reputation of the majority who try to do the right thing. And I’m talking idiots

bicycle frame poses far less of a threat to other road users than an idiot behind the wheel of a 1-2 tonne vehicle. But it also does not give them the right to do the wrong thing. Sadly, I read on Facebook this week of a local cyclist who is also a member

Clearly, there’s no excuse or need for idiocy on or off the roads from anyone on four wheels and two. The worrying thing about Shane Warne’s Twitter tantrum though is that it appears to have given other frustrated motorists more courage to vent verbally, and physically, against cyclists. Think about it. An idiot on an eight kilo carbon fibre

Paul G Walsh OSTEOPATH Psychology

of this city’s legal fraternity who was run off the road and into the gutter within a day of the now infamous Shane Warne rant. Thankfully, that person is okay, which is more than can be said for their expensive bike. And in their words….

‘’He (Shane Warne) might want to feel what it’s like to be riding along in the bike lane minding your own business and have a car swerve deliberately into the bike lane to “push” you into the gutter’’. Clearly, there’s no excuse or need for idiocy on or off the roads from anyone. Ever. If there’s anything to be learnt from the Shane Warne incident, it’s that we all need to show a lot more respect for the law, and for the other road users with whom we share the roads. A moment of fury can have expensive and serious consequences for anyone who does the wrong thing. And is it really worth it? pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

A Visit from the Goon Squad Constable and Robinson, $19.99 THE way writers such as Jennifer Egan go about their novels may just be a reason that the paper book will not be entirely replaced by the ebook. While you can whip through Eganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast, funny, bold A Visit from the Goon Squad on a reading device, this the kind of story that you might find running away from you if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up. The good thing about real pages is they stay there with you, always visible, so if you need to check back a page or chapter or to the beginning, there is no drama. Yes, you can search for a word in an ebook, but that takes you away from the current page, and off into cyberspace again. Whichever way you read this one, however, be prepared

Currently undergoing a major refurbishment, the new eatery is beginning to look a lot like a relaxed and rustic place to chow down with lots of iron and wood featuring in the dĂŠcor both inside and on the external decked dining areas.

This one, which is a disconcerting mix of short story and novel, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and is now, gradually, becoming an international best-seller. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a group of people, loosely linked across a couple of generations, who are faced with the way the â&#x20AC;&#x153;goon squadâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the passing of time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; catches up with them at different points of their lives. Some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive. Others survive despite their best efforts to make a mess of things. Others merely muddle along, almost adjacent to the main action, but feeling on their faces the blast of wind and sometimes fire from other events. We start with Sasha, who

has a compulsion to nick things. How she got to that point, and what happens is one part of a jigsaw puzzle, which put together will show us a funny, but tough, picture of contemporary life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of about the music world, the era of punk and its aftermath, when music promoters realised how to create and profit from the next big thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about power, both sexual and financial, and how an irresponsible adult can damage so many young lives. There are secrets that only come out many years, and chapters, later, but each section can also stand alone as an incident and story. This is very modern storytelling, for and of the times. There is a kindness in the writing that prevents it from becoming too slick and depressing, even when people behave

very badly, and tragedy happens. Very entertaining, A Visit from the Goon Squad may not be a classic, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a deserving best-seller. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Rosemary Sorensen Join the Bendigo Weekly Bookclub for information on upcoming events, publishing news and views, and regular club giveaways.

Strategem opens new Collins Street Office in

Melbourne

With a strong track record of offering expert tax, accounting and

private wealth management services from Bendigo over the past 43 years, Strategem Financial Group has recently expanded by opening a branch office on Collins Street Melbourne.

The Strategem Board has been contemplating a presence in Melbourne for some time and this year they strategically found the right location, presence and opportunity to establish a Melbourne office. This is an exciting initiative for Partners, staff and many of the Melbourne based clients that Strategem already supports.

‘the strength, success and expertise of Strategem in the Bendigo region has given the firm great confidence to now provide their services in the Melbourne arena’

The Melbourne Office incorporates taking over an accounting practice with 6 staff. Although all seven Strategem Partners are involved, Trevor Elliott, Peter Murphy and Sharon Gleeson have been the key Partners working with CEO David Richardson in establishing Strategem’s presence in Melbourne. Strategem has taken the opportunity to brand itself a little different in Melbourne to recognize and acknowledge the history of the accounting practice that it’s taken over. This will see a shift to new corporate colors, an updated symbol as part of the logo and a change from ‘Financial Group’ to ‘Private Clients’ which reflects the nature of the Melbourne client base more accurately. The new office will now provide a convenient CBD Collins Street location, right in the heart of the city.

‘it’s very much business as usual for Strategem and an opportunity to create greater flexibility for the Partners in supporting existing and new clients’ To help strengthen the linkages between the two office locations, Matthew Collins who has been Strategem’s Manager of the Superannuation Team for past two years, has taken up the opportunity to relocate from Bendigo to head up the new office as Tax Manager. If anyone from the Bendigo region has Melbourne based family, friends or colleagues who would be happy to be referred to Strategem, please encourage them to make contact via the details below. Strategem generates in excess of $5 million dollars annually into the local Bendigo economy and contributes significantly to local communities and charities through its Strategem Community Foundation.

‘referring clients to Strategem will help grow the economic prosperity of the Bendigo region and create further jobs and community support’

No limits as Colin looks for new love By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

COLIN James has never been a loner. After three marriages, and even though his health problems put an end to many of his former activities, he is actively looking for wife number four, and optimistic about finding her. Mr James tells the story of each marriage, and the way he tackled the Stills disease that reduced his mobility from the age of three, in his memoir, If I Can Do It… With the help of his brother, a former school principal, he has detailed his 40 years as a singer and songwriter, as well as promoter and public speaker, campaigning for the rights of disabled people. “If I Can Do It…” was also the title of a poem he turned into one of the songs he used to perform. “I’m probably lucky that I got rheumatic fever when I was a child, because it made me the person I am,” he said. “I have my ups and downs like

everyone, but I’m optimistic, it’s the way I’m made. “I meet people who think ‘disabled’ and have a grudge against the world. “I think ‘limitation’, and get on with it.” Mr James lists among his achievements an Order of Australia, and the honour of being among the torch bearers for the 2000 Olympic Games.

a surface person, the kind who knows a little bit about everything. “But I began to piece it all together, and now it’s out there, for the world to see.” Mr James said he asked all three wives to check over the sections about them. “I believe in speaking my mind, although I stayed clear of topics like sexuality, as that is too sensitive,” he said.

I believe in speaking my mind, although I stayed clear of topics like sexuality, as that is too sensitive He said writing the book was just like songwriting, “easy in parts and not so easy in others”. The idea to write a memoir first came to him when, a few years ago, a journalist interviewing him asked him some personal questions. “I thought, this is hurting, why is it hurting?”, he said. “I’m not a deep thinker, I’m

“I’ve had my own little depressions in the past, but I think I’ve learned things along the way. “As for marriage, I think I’d be better next time – needless to say, I’m spending a lot of time on dating sites.” Colin James’s memoir If I Can Do It... will be launched tomorrow, January 21, at 11am at Dymocks in Mitchell Street, Bendigo.

Know your fire risk before you travel around the state this summer A message from Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fire Services Commissioner, Craig Lapsley If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling around the state this summer, there are a few simple things you can do before leaving home and while you are on the road to protect yourself from fire. For those who like to get online, go to CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page or cfa.vic.gov.au to tick off a Travellers' Checklist before you head off. The checklist will help you understand your fire risk and prompt you to take steps to get prepared. If a checklist isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for you, there are some easy steps you can take to reduce your fire risk before leaving home. The first is to find out which weather districts you're travelling through, and the Fire Danger Ratings for those districts. For example, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling through the North Central and Wimmera districts, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know to look out for the Fire Danger Ratings for these districts. CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website is the easiest place to check Fire Danger Ratings. You also need to check if a Total Fire Ban is in force in any of the areas youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling through â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once again, head to CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website for information. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a good idea to save the Victorian Bushfire Information Line number (1800 240 667) in your mobile phone before you leave home. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a smartphone user,

download the free CFA FireReady app for up-to-the minute information on any bush or grass fires or planned fuel-reduction burns where you are. While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away from home, tune in to emergency broadcasters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these include ABC Local Radio and some commercial radio stations (go to CFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website for a full list). Keep an eye out for daily Fire Danger Ratings roadside signs across Victoria. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a good idea to talk to locals, your accommodation provider, and any Accredited Visitor Information Centres about the local fire risk and the local last resort shelter options, such as a Neighbourhood Safer Place. Avoid being in the bush on days when a Severe or Extreme Fire Danger Rating is issued. Never travel into a high-risk bushfire area when a Code Red Fire Danger Rating has been declared. On these days, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to visit cities and regional centres. If you are staying in a highrisk bushfire area, the safest option is to leave the night before or early in the day on which the Code Red has been declared. Craig Lapsley Fire Services Commissioner, Victoria

A poisonous situation IN late August, 1890, three children all from the one family appeared in the Police Court here in Bendigo, having been charged with house breaking into the North Sandhurst State School, stealing property and setting the school building on fire. It was the two girls, the eldest Catherine and her sister Helena Young, who had specifically been charged with fire setting. Their little brother, Henry, was also involved in the scheme which had been hatched by his sisters, and he was the one who ultimately confessed to the police investigators about their involvement. John Francis Young was the 55-year-old widower father of the three children, his wife Kathleen nee Nolan, having passed away 19 months earlier at the age of 33. Mr Young was employed at Leggoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pyrites Works at Jackass Flat, where his weekly wage averaged ÂŁ1/5 shillings (about $2). The family lived in a very simple cottage or hut, not far from Bald Hill, near Green Street. Leggoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employed Mr Young as a pyrites burner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a job which today would be regarded as lethal.

PYRITES: Leggoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metallurgical works at Jackass Flat. Photo: H MARTINS WITH

JAMES LERK Pyrites minerals are found in the rocks of Bendigo, and when the ore from gold mining operations was being crushed, it was collected and separated from the gangue, subsequently sold to the treatment works which had the pyrites analysed before submitting a price for its purchase from the mining companies. Leggoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was one of a number of pyrites treatment works in Bendigo, the main minerals of economic value in the pyrites was gold and arsenic. The long brick furnaces with their inbuilt baffles was where most of the arsenic was precipitated and subsequently shovelled out by men like Young into wooden barrels or jute bags.

Mr Young, incidentally, lived until 1896, aged 61. He had started as a digger on the Bendigo goldfield having at one time lived in a log hut which he constructed in the Whipstick.

John Young was employed at Leggoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pyrites Works at Jackass Flat Leggoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had attached to their long reverberatory furnace a series of vertical, cylindrical stacks, the steel being lined with brickwork. In these too, the arsenic was collected, the gases including sulphurous fumes escaped

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sthis?

into the atmosphere. Jane Downes, one of the teachers from the school stated in court that she had locked away needlework belonging to the pupils. This needlework was later found hidden at the Young house, along with a missing wall clock. Mr Kirby, who was representing the Youngs in court, suggested that the children be dealt with under the Juvenile Offences Statute. The police magistrate, Mr Patterson, expressed the view that a very serious charge of arson was levelled at two of the girls. Inspector Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Flaherty admitted that the overall evidence was not totally conclusive, having only found items belonging to the school and its pupils at the Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. It was revealed in the court that only a week

earlier Helena Young had received a reprimand at Eaglehawk, and that the father had requested the children be sent to the Industrial School, which had a reformatory program. Mr Patterson was obviously of the same opinion and so the children were sent to the Industrial School. Mr Young said he was not in a financial position to contribute to their cost at the institution, particularly as there were other children of his still living with him. Because of insufficient evidence, the charge of arson against Catherine and Helena Young was withdrawn. Leggoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metallurgical works at Jackass Flat, its leases, treatment plant, machinery, buildings, equipment and calcined tailings were auctioned off on October 28, 1953.

A blocked ear leads Ben to discover the joys of an A and E waiting room

AS Arnie (not as famously) said in Terminator 2: “I need a vacation.” Holidays are meant to be all about bad television, eating crap food and an endless supply of frothies – basically two weeks of living like Christopher Skase postQuintex, but without the wheelchair and phantom illnesses. But the hols of 2012 were straight out of an Australian version of National Lampoon’s Holiday Vacation, that was never made. It’s easy to look back and laugh now, but when you spend four hours on New Year’s Day in a packed A and E waiting room the size of a standard bathroom, you start pining for a return to work pretty quick. The action centered around a rented coastline shack in Middleton, South Australia, and the tone was set early by its humourless owners, who had left strict instructions for us to not go anywhere near the spa, under any circumstances whatsoever. In a similar vein, a “don’t leave used condoms in the waste disposal unit” sign was found in the kitchen. We think they meant don’t bin your dingers, and thanks for the heads up guys, but there was no chance of any sneaky hanky panky anyway; your parents sleeping in the adjoining bedroom will do that for you.

Is there any chance of being seen before five o’clock?

BEN CAMERON ON LIFE

Apart from the typical holiday fare – Dad jokes, tears, flatulence, and the usual tension after tea when the blokes want to watch the cricket and the girls want to watch a movie – there was a manhunt. On day three we traipsed across regional South Australia trying to find an old friend of my dad’s called Wally. After numerous wrong turns, and nearly 100 kilometres on the odometer, the better half rather pithily likened our search to a live action version of Where’s Wally? – so you can imagine our disappointment when we eventually found

him, and he wasn’t dressed in a red and white jumper. At least we didn’t need a semiautomatic to visit Wally World. Sadly though, New Year’s Eve was the biggest fly in the holiday ointment. After being dumped by a massive wave at the beach, my left ear (apparently filled with more wax than a beautician’s fingernails) was jammed shut. Partly losing one of your senses is like misplacing your underpants. You only miss them when you can’t use them. Out of concern for my health, or more likely unbearable moodiness, I was shunted down to the local hospital, with clear instructions to “wait as long as it takes to be seen”.

/=6; 16 ),>-:<1;16/

Now the atmosphere in your typical A and E is pretty toxic at the best of times, but in this one, the air was pretty much the Exxon Valdez of waiting rooms. Emergency waiting rooms are all about biggest priority first, which perpetuates a game called Who’s Got The Biggest Illness? where patients assess each other’s conditions with suspicion. It’s a like trying to perv on the beach without getting busted, and you see every look from “You call that a busted shoulder?! Gimme a break” to “I see your broken ankle and raise you a bladder infection.” So obviously a blocked ear doesn’t quite stack up against a four-year-old with a gaping head wound (who came in 30 seconds

after me), or an elderly man with an asthma attack. But it teaches you the skills of diplomacy, as around 2pm, it all got too much and I cornered the nearest nurse. “Excuse me, but I’ve been waiting here for nearly four hours, is there any chance of being seen before five o’clock?” I politely asked. “You’re the bloke with the blocked ear, aren’t you?” she snapped. Cue the kind of awkward silence that exists on bad first dates, as a waiting room full of patients look you up and down like some kind of Medicare fraud. “Have you tried a cotton bud?” a patient piped up; even the toddler on the floor at her feet could detect the subtext in her voice: “Why don’t you leave the A and E for the real patients you big pansy?” And so I did, tucking my pillow and newspaper under my arm, in a most undignified exit. Luckily the missus had packed an extra syringe in the suitcase, and we got down to some serious backyard hospital care (not as raunchy as it sounds). Which just goes to show, be prepared for anything when you hit that holiday road. And remember, always dispose of your prophylactics responsibly.

ONE HAPPY GRINNER BEN CAMERON

Phil Jamieson

PHIL Jamieson is just happy to be still in the thick of it. In the notoriously fickle world of music and relevance, his band Grinspoon have clocked up almost 17 years on the ol’ rock ‘n’ roll odometer. But amongst the Australian alt-rock staples (DCX3, Better Off Alone, Chemical Heart) and the downtimes, like his battle with drug abuse, he’s simply happy he hasn’t joined the 9 to 5 brigade yet. “I’m just happy I haven’t had a job yet,” Jamieson says. “It’s all good for me if it’s all good for everybody else.” The charismatic Jamieson is unusually tight lipped though when probed about the best part of that time, from 1997’s game changer Guide To Better Living, to their seventh album, set for release in 2012. “It’s all been pretty good to me,” he says. “I couldn’t really say one thing stands out.” He’s equally evasive about reflecting on his own legacy, after nearly two decades as an Aussie rock regular. “I’m very bad at self analysis of what has gone on,” Jamieson says. “I’m just stoked I’m in the same band, I really like the

band. “They’re a really good bunch of dudes. “Longevity in this industry is very hard to come by and I’m just happy we’re still around. “I don’t want to be all that self analytical about what I’ve achieved or anybody else has achieved. “Maybe because I’m still in the middle of it. “I don’t really know where my position is. It’s not for me to say I don’t think.” Whatever the position, it all begun with Guide To Better Living; an essential for any Australian teenagers back in the 90s, with a taste for alt-rock. Jamieson missed most of the local hoopla though. “We were working a lot in America at the time so it was difficult to understand what the hell had gone one as far as the popularity of the band,” he says. “Nothing changed in me getting recognised, or getting pulled up in the street, it never really has. “It’s different in rock ‘n’ roll. Maybe in pop music they have a bit more ownership of you. “If I saw Slash having coffee, I don’t think I’d go up and say ‘what’s up?’ “When you get asked to program Rage, I guess that’s when I felt I’d made it (laughs).”

Before Grinspoon release that seventh LP, Jamieson will play a trio of acoustic solo shows next month in Victoria. Solo gigs have been an rarity for Jamieson over the years, but after playing a handful of successful shows in late 2011, something changed. “My agent and manager came (to the shows) and they went ‘wow, this is pretty good’,” Jamieson recalls. “And I was like ‘no sh*t, this is awesome’.” Awesome, but also “strange”, as he puts it. “I’ve never really done solo shows,” Jamieson says. “I’ve done maybe one (solo show) a year over the past four years, either for charity or I’ve sung at some wedding.” Don’t be fooled though, he’s no Adam Sandler. “No mate, I’m not a wedding singer,” he laughs. “It’s more like favours for people. My favourite wedding song is Better Off Alone, it really sums up love in so many different ways.” We think he’s joking. It’s hard to imagine for a gregarious type like Jamieson, but the solo shows gave him a burst of confidence. “I don’t really get any nervous with Grinspoon anymore, but playing by myself

THOMPSON FINDS HIS GROOVE BEN CAMERON

Colin Thompson and daughter Georgia

PHOENIX FM 106.7 The Voice of Your Community

LIKE most musicians, Colin Thompson is a dreamer. But thankfully, he’s also a doer. Until recent years, Thompson was best known around Bendigo music circles as the drum machine behind former local funk kings, Ethanol, before a little fledgling festival called the Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival (which he’s director of) stole all the attention. But strangely, for a bloke who’s become synonymous for making a drum kit sing (without any formal training), for many years, he lacked an inner groove away from the stage. “I always had a lot of energy, but it was poorly misdirected when I was a kid due to low self esteem,” Thompson says. “And it was quashed by drinking problems in my late teens and through my 20s. “When I finally sobered up and got my act together, I found I had all this drive to get things done.” Getting things done has been a Thompson trademark. Case in point being through his tireless work getting the Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival off the ground, as it’s chief architect and visionary. It’s been Thompson’s babyalongside four-year-old Georgia and soon to be acquainted newborn (due next month). And like anything he’s put his mind to, he’s pursued it with immense passion and typical thoroughness. “I’d harboured the desire to put a music festival on in Bendigo for years,” Thompson says. “I love the feeling of community that occurs when it’s done right and everyone in attendance is on the

same page.” Some within his inner circle would argue there are parallels between the growth of the festival and Thompson the bloke. “A few years ago I might not have had the confidence to sit at a round table with executives of a company to sell my plan and ask for financial assistance, or to explain to the council or to state government why it’s worth their time and attention to get behind a project like this one,” he explains. “But I’ve learned that the best discoveries about your self and what you are capable of are usually made when you step outside of your comfort zone – you’ve just got to muster up the confidence and back yourself!” Whether it’s been during the golden days of Ethanol, or with The Cabarettos, Urban Creatures or the Andrew Higgs Band, getting behind a drum kit remains a deeply spiritual and emotional experience for Thompson. “Performing, for me, is about expressing what’s in your heart,” he says. “It doesn’t have to be words, or melody, it can be rhythmic and dynamic and still be very musical and make that elusive connection that happens when the audience digs what you’re doing. “Having never formally learned how to play drums, I consider what I do to be more like dancing with sticks in my hands and pedals under my feet. “I dance out the rhythm and my drums (and cymbals) are my voice. “When I see and hear people digging the performance that I’m part of, it fills me with a feeling that is hard to describe and hard to

obtain any other way. “I guess it’s what I’d describe as a true natural high.” Drumming is an extension of his psyche. “It’s a huge part of who I am and what makes me happy,” he says. “To say it’s a passion would be an understatement… I liken it more to the need to breathe, eat, sleep, or spend time with my family.” But it wasn’t always so. Thompson had long convinced himself he had zip musical skill. “I’d always assumed (while growing up) that I had no musical ability and that I could never play an instrument,” he says. “It wasn’t until I was hanging out with some guys who had a band and they talked me into being their singer, that I got the slightest hint that music could be something I could actually have a crack at myself. “I was dubious at first, but they taught me some chords on the guitar and before I knew it I was on stage singing and playing guitar – without much clue of what I was really doing. “Then one day at rehearsal, the drummer let me have a hit on his kit and boom! “I knew right there and then that I would play the drums for the rest of my life. “I didn’t care how, why, where or with whom, I just knew that I was meant to play drums. “As I’ve always said, I’ll continue to play drums while I still draw breath.” The future is all about building the BB&RMF, the Bendigo Blues Club and gigging with side projects like the folk, jazz and blues fused Urban Creatures, with close friend and long-time partner in crime, Damien

is a much different beast,” he says. “After those shows I did last year, my confidence grew a bit more. The most nervous I get is in front of family and friends, I don’t really like doing that. “If nobody knows me I’m fine. If family’s in the audience, or somebody I know that’s never seen me play, I get a little antsy. “In general (though), I’m much more professional these days.” It’s also allowed him to pick up the guitar more on stage. “I don’t like playing guitar with Grinspoon but I have to,” he says. “If it’s required, I’ll do it, but it’s not something I love to do (laughs). I prefer singing.” Jamieson says Grinspoon will have a clearer picture on the new album by the end of the month. “There’s a big pile of songs at the moment, and at the end of this month we’ll find out which 15 get picked,” he says. “I’ll have more of an idea what shape the album will take, as the songs are all quite different. “It’s very broad what we might make, I’ve got absolutely no idea.” Phil Jamieson plays The Palais Saturday, February 11.

Neil. “We have the same passion for just getting out and performing for appreciative crowds,” Thompson says. “Anyone who has seen Damien play knows that he’s an extraordinary talent.” And despite Ethanol calling it a day just over a year ago, there’s no regrets, just fond memories of performing with old bandmates Skip and Tyson Hodges. “There’s no point dwelling on the past,” he says. “Life is too good and there’s too much to be done to spend time worrying about what you should have done or how you should have done it. “I spent the first part of my 30s lamenting way too much about the potential I wasted during the previous decade. “Once I slapped myself out of it, I realised it wasn’t too late to live a good life and have a positive impact on those around me and to have some genuine fun along the way “I learned to count my blessings, not the least of which is a wonderful wife who is far more supportive of me than I probably deserve. “I truly cherish every day I have left on this earth and don’t want to waste a single moment by whinging or whining about the way things are or the way things ought to be. “I want my children to believe they can do anything they set their minds to and to have the confidence to give life a red-hot go no matter what.” Urban Creatures play the Summer in the Parks program at Happy Jack Reserve on Friday, January 27. national and local artists.

maintenance and lifestyle management. AHWW is part of the Dietitians Association of Australia’s comprehensive obesity strategy, helping to address

overweight and obesity in Australia. Eat better, feel better and move more because being a healthy weight helps you live life to the full. Eating better food and being active helps you feel healthier and happier. And if you’re overweight losing a few kilograms will make a big difference to the way you feel.

Overweight and obesity affects 62 per cent of Australian adults and 25 per cent of children. We gain weight when we eat more energy (kilojoules) than we use up through exercise or activity. Gaining weight can increase your risk of health problems, like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. People with most of their body fat around their waist are at an increased risk.

Eat better to achieve a healthy weight • Eat at least two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables every day. • Eat breakfast. • Choose wholegrain breads and cereals regularly. • Choose ‘reduced’ fat dairy foods. • Choose lean meat. • Limiting high kilojoule and high fat food and drink to once a week or less. • Eat smaller serves. • Drink more water. An Accredited Practising Dietitian can be your diet coach. They can tailor an eating plan to your individual lifestyle and support and motivate you to make changes for life. Call, toll free, 1800 812 942 or visit www.daa.asn.au to find a dietician to help you get started.

ANY people see ‘unhealthy weight’ originating from our stomach and what everyone else can see, not necessarily due to the way we chew and digest our food and eliminate the waste, or lack of sleep, which can affect our weight. All of these problems can be successfully treated with Bowen Therapy according to Sam Hamilton of Bendigo Body & Soul. Sam has the highest qualifications available with Bowen Therapy studies and says that Bowen Therapy, including the Bowtech advanced level 1 and 2 master classes have amazing procedures to assist you in maintaining a healthy weight. Sam said Bowen Therapy activates the lymphatic system and metabolism, enabling the body to eliminate toxins and help burn fat. She said you’ll feel more energised

after a Bowen session or a detox foot spa, resulting in less pain and more mobility – you may then like to take those extra steps and start walking further. Scientific studies show that poor sleep or sleep apnoea can also increase body weight. Bowen therapy can also assist you with better sleeping patterns. Sam uses and recommends the full range of Schuessler Tissue Salts for general wellbeing, weight loss and detox. To celebrate the new year and a new healthier you, Sam has a special offer. Pay and book for three treatments and receive your fourth treatment for half price (excludes other offers) for treatments for Bowen, Ear Candling or the Detox Foot Spa.

REGULAR maintenance is vital for ensuring the longevity of any property, and just as you would paint on a regular basis, so too should you maintain your roof. Step in Roof Smart. Peter Browning and Jason March of Roof Smart are experts in their trade, with more than 30 years combined experience in the industry. They are a locally owned business, not a franchise. They specialise in galvanised and tiled (terracotta and cement) roofs, spouting, roof repairs, and offer honest and professional advice on the exact needs of your roof. New roofing doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just enhance the overall look of your home, it will increase the value of your property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The renovation of a roof can add anywhere from $5000 to $10,000 value to a property, and offers peace of mind that your major asset is protected,â&#x20AC;? Jason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen the common

problems roofs face including moss covered terracotta tiles, porous cement tiles and re-pointing requirements, and there is no doubt that prevention is the best cure,â&#x20AC;? Peter added. In addition to the regular service Jason and Peter have introduced the VacSmart professional gutter cleaning service and every roof that has a full rejuvenation will have a total gutter clean free of charge. Peter said the potential for clogged guttering is at its greatest in spring and early summer. With the likelihood of increased heavy rainfall, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more important than ever to ensure that your gutters are cleaned. Roof Smart provides a colour matching service along with great service and offers free quotes anywhere in the regional Victorian area. Give Jason and Peter a call today on 5446 7477. All work carried out by Roof Smart is covered by a 10-year warranty.

w e e k ly cycling

German raider wins criterium THE Bendigo Cycling Club’s inaugural round of the Café Robaix Summer Series criterium racing attracted large fields to the tight Mayfair Park circuit on Sunday morning. More than 60 riders competed in three grades for points as part of the aggregate series, all part of an initiative aimed at boosting the sport of cycling in a city with an already strong reputation as a cycling centre of excellence. Racing for the Ronde Socks C Grade points, 20 riders took to the Mayfair Park circuit for what proved to be an energy packed 20 minutes plus three laps contest where Tom Floyd emerged the winner from Peter Sens and Mat Runnalls. An evenly matched Hume and Iser B Grade contest saw 23 riders race for 30 minutes plus three laps. Justin Leske was a popular winner from

Ash Harding and Owen Deacon. Then it was the turn of the big guns, with an exceptional field of 22 quality riders starting in the Symes Motors A Grade event, racing for 60 minutes plus three laps. In a thrilling finish, German under 23 team rider Raphael Freienstein held off local rider Darren Lapthorne by about the width of a tyre to win, with David Pell in third place. Marshals were Petar Benjamin, Mike McManus, John Lucas, Paul Bowe, Garry Ponteladolfo and Justin Leske. The Café Roubaix series continues this weekend from 8:30am at Mayfair Park, with Bendigo Cycling Club rooms at the Tom Flood Sports Centre open before and after racing to enable visiting riders to prepare for racing, ride out to the circuit, then return for a shower prior to travelling home.

Cycling into the history books is a Bendigo tradition THE Bendigo and District Cycling Club has been extremely fortunate in the calibre and stable of riders that have been members over many decades. The history books of cycling, locally, state wide, nationally, and internationally include many great cycling athletes belonging to the Bendigo Club. While events may no longer be run, the history still remains showing that Bendigo has been a competitive strength to be reckoned with. It is risky to try to capture all the riders’ names as there is always the chance of missing a significant contributor to the sport. Some notable names are that of Jack Trickey, Phil Sawyer, Colin Fitzgerald and Noel Sens who made the Olympic Games teams in road and track and Noel a Paralympic team member and a gold and silver medal winner. We claim as our own son, of Gold Medal claim, Scott McGrory in the 2000 Sydney Olympics with Brett Aitken in the Madison. Jack Trickey, still racing today along with Phil and Noel, was the National Road Cchampion at the

eddie barkla time of the 1956 Olympics. Robert Burns and Rick Flood were both medal winners representing Australia at the Commonwealth Games. Zak Dempster was also a medal winner in the Junior Commonwealth Games held here in Bendigo, hosted by the Bendigo Club and the City of Greater Bendigo for the cycling events. The club has had many attend World Titles at Masters Elite and Junior levels of road, track and mountain bike. We boast names like Tim Decker a dual world title holder, Noel Sens, Colin Fitzgerald, Tony Hughes, Brent McCaig, Matt Wallace, Robbie Hucker, Jack Haig, Shelly Flood, and Glenn O’Shea most recently. Bendigo riders Merv Andrea and Zak Dempster were the youngest ever to win the Austral Wheel Race – the world’s oldest. They are accompanied by such names as Billy Stevens, Phil Sawyer,

TEams gonE by: Ian grindlay, billy stevens, merv Dean (Dec), brian sonnerman and Frank mcCaig (Dec). Ashleigh Harding, Tony Hughes, Terry Schintler, all worthy winners and champions in their own right to hold places in the history books. The Melbourne-to-Warrnambool Wheel Race – the world’s longest single-day road race – has the names of Bendigo riders Zak

Dempster, Tim Decker, Andrew Stirling, Chris White and many others with podium placings. Our own Bendigo International Madison winners’ list has many Bendigo-named riders who have partnered visiting riders to this great event.

Chris White and Tim Decker are the only Bendigo Club members to win this event and thrilled the local crowd. Glenn O’Shea was the only Bendigo club member to win back to back with Leigh Howard of Geelong – both international stars in their own right. You would find that nearly every major wheel race across Victoria and beyond has a Bendigo club rider’s name in the records and this proud history making continues even today. At state and national level, the list is far too big to contemplate making a summary of riders’ names. In junior ranks riders took out every event as a national title holder and some riders holding up to nine national gold medals and titles in their careers. Rik McCaig was a criterium specialist competing against TDF sprint champions Baden Cooke and Robbie McEwen and being the champion the name McCaig suggests. There are many more stories of the men and women champions associated with the BDCC. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

A friend may suggest something novel to do in order to break away from an old rut. A fortunate development related to your work in the world will be handed to you, but you are hesitant over whether to take on the details of that responsibility. It is probably best not to add anything to your plate right now.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

Notice who comes into your life while you are doing general business. This person is likely to become a friend. You have the opportunity during this period to expand your social territory. You may also be experiencing small gifts and benefits offered to you from others.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

You are considering your financial picture at this time. You almost make a decision that feels right to you and then you hesitate and decide to wait for a later time. It seems like more than one thing in your life comes almost to fruition, but then someone changes his/her mind, and then it’s back to square one.

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

You are conflicted on the subject of romance versus care taking, which is your natural instinct. Perhaps you are caught in the middle between the needs of a spouse and your children. Sometimes a Cancerian becomes a parent to the partner, which usually creates a troubled atmosphere. Set aside decisions on these matters until you are more centered.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

You have a project that appears as though it is dying on the vine. However, if you step back and look at it in a totally different, it is possible you will discover a gem. A significant relationship may also follow the same pattern: dark, then a change in your perspective, and the sunshine shows through!

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

Romance is on the horizon but you are reluctant to take the offer. You also have been in a creative mode, perhaps writing or some other form of communication. You almost reach a point of conclusion and then “something” causes you to stop and rethink the whole project.

2001

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): You prefer to tend to business this week. It is fulfilling to clean up some of your projects. You may be focused on something artistic related to home or business. Family is supportive. In social relationships the tone is solemn and leans toward problem-solving. Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19): A new plan that originated in the fall is arriving at a turning point. Sometimes our ideas take a twist of their own. This is a time in which you must decide whether or not to pour more resources into the plan or let it go. If it can be accomplished by next October, it is probably worth the effort.

This is a week of intense feelings, whether up or down. For many, prevention of depressed feelings can be handled by gently bringing ourselves back from a superhigh. Good news concerning partner’s resources may not come through as expected this week. The time will be better later.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17): The sun returns “home” to your sign this week. You likely will find it to be energizing. Now is the time to focus on new plans for this next year of your life. Take a fresh look at where you want to direct your energy. This is the annual opportunity to experience a new birth.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): Your work is noticed and racks up some applause this week. This is a time in which your exuberance and enthusiasm may carry you farther than you really intended to go. Take care that you don’t promise way more than you can deliver.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

People are smiling upon you this week. You have friends with a certain amount of power in their worlds who want to help you accomplish something they see is of ethical or moral value in the world. Your attitude is thankful and you are keeping your nose to the grindstone as this help continues.

THE Emu Valley Cricket Association has a new ladder leader in Mandurang after United suffered their second straight defeat since the Christmas break. Spring Gully got the perfect start with an opening stand of 173 with skipper Shaun Makepeace leading from the front with a magnificent 115, and great support from Luke Bell (75) and Ricky Mannix (29), pushing the score to a very respectable 5/263. But the strong Mandurang batting line up weren’t to be denied as they compiled 8/278 off their 40 overs with Leigh Haw (69), John Mariager (57), Geoff Thompson (43) and a solid contribution at the end from Rhys Williams (28 not out) ensuring Mandurang got over the line and secured top spot on the ladder. Brad Gillett was the main destroyer for Spring Gully with the ball taking 4/57. Maiden Gully could only manage 7/175 against Axe Creek with

skipper Mark Smith (63 not out) again leading the way, with the next best being extras on 27. They couldn’t hold off the fast finishing Axe Creek who finished on 5/190 with Brad Ead (77 not out) the mainstay of the innings with good support from Ben Harris (37) and Jason Carbone (28) with no bowler from either side taking more than two wickets. As mentioned, United suffered their second defeat in a row, going down to the third placed West Bendigo. Travis O’Connell (56), Glen Wallis (38) and Brad McHugh (32 not out) the main stays of the West Bendigo innings as they compiled 8/208. Kieren Nihill took 3/41 as United could only reply with 152 with skipper Alex Collins providing half the score with 76 as Glen Wallis took 4/39 for West Bendigo. Sedgwick easily accounted for Emu Creek with Scott McKenzie (62) and Rick Ladson following up his match-

winning unbeaten century the previous week with 44. David Thompson was the only multiple wicket taker for Emu Creek with 3/36. Emu Creek in reply could only manage 119 with the only real resistance coming from Ray McCarthur (39) as Jordan Knight destroyed the top order with the excellent figures of 3/9 off eight overs. In the final game of Round Eight, Marong put in an early claim for fourth spot on the ladder with a hard- fought win over Golden Gully. Williams (45), Zac Samuel (35) and Jeremy Ross (35) all made solid contributions to their total of 7/182, while Sebastian Olle and Brendon Lummis both took two wickets each. Golden Gully could only manage 108 in reply with Shaun O’Shea and Anton Davies the only players to score more than 20 runs with Duane Anderson taking 5/13 off 5.2 overs including a hat trick.

By BEN CAMERON

Hat trick for Lachlan YOUNG Strathfieldsaye quick Lachlan Ross has claimed a hat trick in just his eighth senior match of BDCA cricket, and broken a 27-year club drought in the process. It was a memorable afternoon for the 16-year-old, who not only claimed his first-ever wicket in seniors, but his maiden “five for”, taking 5/28 off eight overs as the Jets Second XI beat Kangaroo Flat by four wickets at Tannery Lane. With Kangaroo Flat sitting precariously on 7/102 batting first, Ross skittled Brad Perrow for 26, and Shane Harling in consecutive balls, leaving him the rare opportunity to grab three from three.

Ross made sure his third delivery was bang on the money. “I was just thinking I have to bowl this on the stumps or else he’ll leave it,” he said. Luckily the lanky paceman’s next ball was on the pegs and rapped Kangaroo Flat number 11 Jarrod Milsom on the pads. The umpire did the rest, completing a stunning individual spell of four wickets for just one run, as Kangaroo Flat were bowled out for 102. Club officials believe it’s the first hat trick in senior cricket at the club since Chris DeAraugo’s against Eaglehawk in their inaugural season of 1984/85.

IT’S been all about development for Bendigo Blue in Division Three of Bendigo Country Week. The colt team, comprising some of Bendigo’s up-and-coming talent, went down in their first three games of the competition, losing to Deniliquin by 128 runs on Monday, 41 runs to Northern United and Kyabram Colts by eight wickets. Team captain Lincoln Jacobs said Isaac Hogan (114 runs at 38) and Jake Klemm (59 runs at 29.5) had stood out with the bat while Jayden Sheahan (best bowling of 3/32) had performed well with the ball. “The competition has been really strong, so it’s been a great experience for some of the BDCA’s young players,” Jacobs said. Round 11 of the BDCA starts this Saturday afternoon with a grand final rematch between Strathdale-Maristians and Bendigo United, White Hills take on Golden Square, Strathfieldsaye are at home to Huntly/North Bendigo, Bendigo will try to make it two from two against Kangaroo Flat while Eaglehawk battle it out with Sandhurst to stay in touch with the top four.

Bowled a maiden

By BEN CAMERON

WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S cricket in Bendigo will continue to grow as the Twenty20 version remains a viable introduction to the traditional format of the game. Speaking after Essendon Maribrynong Park/Western Waves beat

Ringwood in the grand final of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division of Bendigo Country Week by 46 runs to win the Melanie Jones Shield, Cricket Victoria female cricket officer Di Day said Twenty20 was an exciting, quick and accessible option for women wanting to learn the skills of cricket.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty20 is very suited to women, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more inclusive and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too big a commitment, running at just over two hours of play,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cricket will definitely continue to grow if we get those two important factors right.â&#x20AC;? Nearly 50 girls contested the

third running of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition. Day said it enabled many people to compete, including a woman with Down syndrome, from Mallee Murray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had a ball, and just goes to show what womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cricket is all about, giving people a go,â&#x20AC;? she said.
