HOME RUN Bendigo Ahead

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO’S oldest property could be the solution to the city’s residential land crisis.

One of Bendigo’s largest property developers has suggested Ravenswood Run, the sheep property that covered most of what is now Bendigo, is the solution to the re-

gion’s growing pains.

Don Erskine, who has land developments across Bendigo and in Melbourne, said it was time to look at opening up the land south of Kangaroo Flat for housing.

The City of Greater Bendigo council, with the backing of the State Government, has announced a review of its Residential Development Strategy, after its growth pre-

dictions fell well short of the mark.

Released in 2004, the strategy claimed the city’s population would hit 130,000 by 2030.

However, 40 per cent of that predicted growth has already happened, with the 2030 population now tipped to be between 145,000 and 167,000.

That rapid growth over the past seven years has resulted in a dire

shortage of land available for residential development.

While large estates have been announced in Huntly and Jackass Flat, the amount of land needed is much greater.

Council’s existing residential strategy identified 200 hectares at Huntly and 118 at Jackass Flat as suitable for development.

Planned rezoning at Maiden

Gully North East (473ha) and Strathfieldsaye (140ha) has been criticised as taking too long, and, developers claim, will not be enough.

Ravenswood Run, not including the historic homestead, is currently a 1000 hectare sheep property.

Review called on growth State funds residential and population strategy plan BENDIGO’s Residential Strategy will be reviewed because of greater-than-expected growth.

The State Government has announced a grant of $50,000 to carry out the review.

The review is needed because, according to the State Government, 40 per cent of the forecast growth between 2006 and 2031 had already been realised.

Released in 2004, the strategy claimed the city’s population would hit 130,000 by 2030.

However, 40 per cent of that predicted growth has already happened, with the 2030 population tipped to be between 145,000 and 167,000.

Regional Development Parliamentary Secretary Damian Drum made the announcement this week.

Mr Drum said the Bendigo Residential Strategy Review would deliver greater community and investor certainty, helping the region grow. “Strong residential growth has many flow-on economic benefits and having a clear framework for future develop-

BendigoAhead BOLD: An artist’s impression of the planned development.

Thumbs up for CBD

From Page 1

BENDIGO’S CBD continues to modernise as the City of Greater Bendigo approved the construction of a $12 million, four-storey residential and commercial building on Wills Street.

Sandhurst Ward councillor James Reade said the development was a clear sign of confidence for developers to invest in Bendigo’s CBD. “This is the kind of development we want to attract to our CBD,” he said.

Kangaroo Flat Ward councillor Barry Lyons said it was a bold development, “one of many to come” which helped alleviate parking issues in the centre of town.

Booming population figures highlight development shortfall

Land in short supply

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO’S property developers believe the city’s land shortage has developed into a crisis.

The City of Greater Bendigo council, with the backing of the State Government, will review its Residential Development Strategy, after its growth predictions fell well short of the mark.

While large housing estates have been announced in Huntly and Jackass Flat, the amount of land needed is much greater.

The city’s developers believe there is little available land that can be subdivided, and many have laid the blame at the feet of council.

Bendigo’s largest private property developer Don Erksine said council had improved its performance in the past three years, but had failed to release enough land.

“The biggest issue we have is the availability of land,” he said.

“Council may say there are 5000 lots available, but you can’t

“The land shortage is at an absolutely critical level as no developers have land up their sleeves.”

Mr Erskine said developers could not see a bright future unless dramatic changes were made.

“I have always had a land

“I don’t understand it. Council’s ‘strategy’ has almost become a crisis-management scenario.”

Another developer, who did

Land shortage is at an absolutely critical level as no developers have land up their sleeves bank of 10 years up my sleeve,” he said.

“Now it is not even one. The ability to purchase land is almost zero.

“Places like Kangaroo Flat are virtually built out now.”

Another property developer, Geoff McLeod, blamed the council.

“There is a very strong pattern

“There is a severe shortage of land because of council’s lack of vision, lack of foresight,” he said.

“They are going ahead with Huntly, with no infill in places like Maiden Gully.

“They need to do something this time, instead of letting strategies gather dust.

“It seems the growth has got

“The best bit of land in Bendigo still available for residential subdivision is Ravenswood at Big Hill,” Mr Erskine said.

“It is 2500 acres all under the one ownership.”

However, council’s 2004 strategy refused to extend the city’s urban growth boundary south of Big Hill.

“This is one of the things that has to change under the review,” Mr Erskine said.

“The urban growth boundary they have now is clearly not working.”

Mr Erskine said there was a lot that was attractive about Ravenswood Run. “There are some real advantages,” he said.

“There is already a railway siding there and, down the track, light rail could be run from basically Castlemaine through to Elmore.

“Coliban Water already has plans to run water from the top of Big Hill to Harcourt through that property.

“It is also close to the highway and to Centro Lansell.”

Council Planning and Development director Prue Mansfield said she was unsure whether the urban growth boundary would be extended.

“We know we have a 15-year land supply still,” she said.

“So, there is no urgency to fund new greenfield sites.”

Developers have questioned the claim there is enough land.

the better of them.”

They all agreed developers should be involved in the residential strategy review.

“The only criticism I have of council is they need to talk to developers on a regular basis to understand what the problems are,” Mr Erskine said.

The developers argued at least 12 hectares of land was needed to make a subdivision profitable.

Council Planning and Development director Prue Mansfield said there was a 15-year supply of residential land left.

“The past five years, 40 per cent of new dwellings have been infill,” she said.

“They have been two, or three or six-lot subdivisions.

“There are new developers working out different ways to make smaller developments work.

“There are people sitting on land, which you wish they didn’t, and that is frustrating to everybody.”

Decision deferred RESIDENTS of Chum Street have had a win, and many watching on at the Town Hall on Wednesday night applauded, when the City of Greater Bendigo council voted to defer considering the duplication of Chum and Barnard streets.

They decided to defer until the results of an interim report on the Bendigo Road Transport Strategy, which was commissioned in August last year, are in.

The original proposal in the BRTS to duplicate Chum and Barnard streets was opposed by 248 petitioners.

“It’s a common sense approach,” Eaglehawk Ward councillor Peter Cox said.

“It’s right and proper Chum Street be reconsidered.”

Bishop looks for balance

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

FOLLOWING a man like Joe Grech, and stepping into a moment of potential change for Sacred Heart Cathedral, the new Bishop of Sandhurst knows balance is important.

“I’m sure there are a lot of things to be looked for (when a Bishop is appointed),” Bishop Les Tomlinson said this week.

“One of the things that comes to the fore is that Bishop Joe was strongly pastoral and had a big impact on people.

“That’s not to say they don’t need someone pastoral, and I hope I have a good pastoral reputation, but the other thing is that whatever talents I have will be called on.”

Bishop Tomlinson, who will be installed as Seventh Bishop of Sandhurst on March 1, lists among his many roles deputy chairman of the Diocesan Planning and Development Fund and also of the Diocesan Finance Council, as well as chairman of the Catholic Capital Grants Company and the Diocesan Planning, Building and Finance Committee.

He was part of the St Patrick’s Cathedral Works Committee in the 1990s.

All this experience adds up to a strong understanding of the bricks and mortar church, as well as its spiritual side.

“I guess I’ve had a certain amount of exposure to administration, and that’s always helpful for a bishop in a diocese,” Bishop Tomlinson said.

“At this stage I don’t know a lot about what the plans are in the diocese; I think Monsignor Marriott would have been asked to give an outline on the position and what was needed and that may well have had a bearing on what candidates were suitable.”

Mons Frank Marriott, Sacred Heart’s administra-

tor, has been overseeing the plans for development of the Cathedral Precinct to include a carpark, museum and piazza, under discussion since mid-2009.

While the proposal has not generated as much concern as earlier plans for changes inside the building, the new bishop is aware that he will need to steer the project past community fears.

“Liturgy is important, and I have a great love of it, and a suitable place to celebrate the liturgy is important,” Bishop Tomlinson said.

“A church becomes a rich symbol of the people who worship there and so much personal experience gets tied up in it – it’s where children are baptised, where

people are married, where they are buried – so it becomes such an intense issue if something needs to be changed.

“If there’s a need to alter it, that’s when people’s emotions come to the fore.”

Bishop Tomlinson said he will come into his role as a moderator.

“It’s essential to be mindful of the different

bullying their way to victory over the top of others and that is part of the role of bishop, to work through the issues so people who may be disproportionately pressing their case come to realise the rights of others.”

Bishop Tomlinson, who was born and educated in Mildura, has several times spoken out in defence of his colleagues in the Catholic

Church. In 2007, he defended the Dean of Melbourne Cathedral, the Reverend Geoffrey Baron, who shouted racist abuse at trespassing skateboarders who provoked him.

“If any human being is under siege like that,” he told ABC radio at the time, “they may well react in a way they wouldn’t do in another circumstance.”

He also spoke out more recently when the ousted Father Bob Maguire said a wedding ceremony he was performing last month was “taken over” by a Pagan Handfasting Ceremony.

On that occasion, Bishop Tomlinson called the event “peculiar”.

“Such a person is not welcomed in the Catholic Church to interfere with liturgy,” he said.

“I wouldn’t see myself as extreme in any direction,” Bishop Tomlinson said this week.

“I would aim firstly to unlock the riches of the church and its teaching that we find in the scriptures, but also in the accumulated wisdom built up in the tradition of the church through the centuries, and to be open to where the Holy Spirit is leading us.

“Even if that means some further development in our teachings, then that is a good thing too.”

the first festival will benefit from the community support and “collaborative zeal”, which has already “established genuine momentum”.

“One objective is to encourage and continue to increase tourism in our region,” Mr Liacos said.

“It will continue to promote and consolidate Bendigo’s emerging strength and status as a growing regional city successful in the expression of arts and culture, history, heritage and major public events.”

Cr Fyffe said the festival will enhance the cultural precinct, which will be further developed in the next few years with the art gallery extension and the building of the theatre complex.

“The precinct is a hub for events which showcase our history, celebrate our present, and provide opportunities to think about our future,” Cr Fyffe said.

“We already have a strong writing community, and our library use tells us how much Bendigo people love to read.

“It’s National Year of Reading so the time is right for us to add this string to our cultural bow.”

council opts for 50m pool

By Ben Cameron

THE City of Greater Bendigo has finally decided 50 metres is the right length for a new pool at the proposed Kangaroo Flat Aquatic Centre.

In a passionate council meeting on Wednesday night councillors Barry Lyons, Rod Fyffe, Bruce Phillips and mayor Alec Sandner agreed 50m was the best bet for a growing population in the southern areas of Bendigo.

Cr Lisa Ruffell (who indicated 50m was her preferred option) and Cr Keith Reynard were absent.

“It will be never cheaper than soon,” Cr Lyons said, although he admitted the $28m price tag was “daunting”.

City splashes out on option with an eye on population growth “If we don’t build a 50 metre, in 10 years time, we’ll have to build another one.

“We need to build it for now, as well as the future. Twenty-five metres surely won’t be enough.”

Cr Phillips said he couldn’t see what all the “rush and the fuss” was about, as the construction is unlikely to begin for at least four years.

With “minimal” chance of attracting government grants and a new council due later this year, he stressed the new pool would last 50 years, and serve a community expected to grow to 80,000

to 90,000 people.

“Population increase in Bendigo is exponential,” he said.

“The wisest decision, to cater for the long-term needs of the municipality is a 50 metre pool.”

Despite the 50m option only being $3m dearer than the 25m, Sandhurst Ward councillor James Reade said council simply didn’t have cash to splash.

“We have 30 swimming pools in our municipality and literally they leak money,” he said.

“At the Kangaroo Flat pool, the operating cost alone is $28 per swim.

Demolition firm wins hospital contract BENDIGO company Hopley Demolition has been awarded a major demolition contract as part of the New Bendigo Hospital project.

New Bendigo Hospital executive director David Walker said the contract was for the clearing of the Barnard Street site.

“We are delighted that a locally owned and operated company has demonstrated that they can offer specialist local knowledge, expertise and resources for this project,” he said.

“Works include asbestos removal and the demolition of the boiler house, chimney, commercial laundry and Ambulance Victoria building.

“Other works include the removal of an in-ground diesel tank on the Ambulance Victoria site, the removal of building foundations and redundant services and equipment.”

Demolition is set to begin in the coming months and will be completed in October.

“It would be cheaper for me to stand outside the pool, shut the gate and hand out $10 to $20 for people not to come in for a swim.

“I see it struggling over the next 10 years.”

Cr Cox said the pool project had been leapfrogged by other major projects for funding.

Eppalock Ward councillor Rod Campbell said money for local pools was far too stretched to install and maintain a 50m pool.

However Cr Fyffe said the extra $3 million cost for the 50m pool, as opposed to a 25m, would have been swallowed up by “contingencies” anyway.

“And certainly we see nothing for that,” he said.

expansion plan boosts jobs THE State Government will support a $39 million expansion of the processing facility at Hazeldeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chicken Farm with $2 million in funding Regional and Rural Development Parliamentary Secretary and Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum made the announcement this week.

Mr Drum said when completed the expansion was expected to create 105 full-time jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These 105 jobs are in addition to the existing 625 jobs at Hazeldeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the expansion is also estimated to create a further 101 construction-related positions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coalition Government is pleased to support Hazeldeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with the project as part of our commitment to deliver key infrastructure to enable regional industries to become more resilient and sustainable.â&#x20AC;?

CROSS: Christine Leahy at the problem crossing.

Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

FOR two years, parents of students at a White Hills primary school have been asking VicRoads for action on their road crossing.

This week, after two more incidents outside the school, they have run out of patience.

“It’s beyond belief,” Holy Rosary Catholic Primary School chairman Christine Leahy said yesterday.

“We’ve been told by

VicRoads that they don’t see the crossing as a risk, because accidents happen outside school hours.

“It’s a dangerous road and only going to get worse.

“What we want is flashing school-zone lights like they have for other schools, but we’ve been told (by VicRoads) there is no more money in that budget.”

Ms Leahy said the crossing has been damaged

at least four times in the past couple of years.

On Monday, students had to cross the road without a safety barrier in the centre, after it was crashed into overnight.

Yesterday, the flashing light on the centre island was also down, hit and demolished overnight by another of the vehicles which use busy Napier Street, the A300 out of Bendigo to Epsom and Echuca.

“Our lollypop woman is having heart failure, trying to keep kids safe crossing the road,” Ms Leahy said.

“The council has told us it’s up to VicRoads and VicRoads say they don’t think it’s unsafe but we know those flashing speedlimit signs do work, to slow people down.

“What’s it going to take to make them do something?”

Neangar Park golf seeks feasibility study funding

Club drives growth

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

ONE of Bendigo’s golf clubs is going on the front foot, planning their own new development amid concerns for the sport’s long-term health within the region.

Neangar Park Golf Club this week applied unsuccessfully for a $10,000 grant from City of Greater Bendigo council towards a $40,000 feasibility study for an extension to their Eaglehawk premises.

“Right now, our rooms only get used for 10 hours a week, so we want to increase access to the broader community,” club chairman Phil DeAraugo said.

“A feasibility study would tell us what kinds of groups in the community would be interested in us-

ing our meeting rooms, so we have an understanding of what to plan.

“It’s important that we don’t plan too big or too small.”

Neangar Park, with more than 600 members, is the biggest of the seven golf clubs, the future of which

in-the-sand attitude”.

“Neangar Park might be top dog, and things might be going well for them at the moment, but they have to look forward; they’ll have insurance restraints in the future,” Mr Bamford said.

Mr DeAraugo said the

We want to increase access to the broader community which will be the subject of another study, the $60,000 council-funded Golf Strategy for which council is seeking funding from the State Government.

Last month, acting secretary of the Bendigo District Golf Association Mark Bamford said most clubs had a “head-

club is “well and truly covered”.

“We do need to make efforts to make sure we don’t have golf balls leaving the site,” he said.

“We’ve been planting out our boundaries and putting up fencing.”

The building development is expected to cost be-

tween $750,000 and $1.2 million.

“We will need to plan how we are going to procure that, hence the need for detailed pre-planning,” Mr De Araugo said.

“It will be part of diversifying our income stream, and providing our facilities for the community.

“There’s a fair chunk of the community that has never driven into a golf club.”

The applicatoin for the grant was put forward by Eaglehawk Ward councillor Peter Cox, but did not get council support.

The application proposed the study information be used as part of the broader golf strategy, and also as part of the Eaglehawk Community Facilities Plan.

That is about to change.

Annetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter has cerebral palsy, and endured two difficult brain operations last year.

While still caring for her, Annette has managed to shepherd her daughter through the tough times, and both have come out the other end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past six years or so I have put on about 20 kilograms,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My kids are doing really well now and, while not out of the woods, things are a bit easier.â&#x20AC;?

With that in mind, Annette has set about changing her life.

She enrolled in university, completed a double degree and now wants to improve her health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been thinking about it for awhile, but

when I saw Beck at the Better Health Club I thought this was the way to go,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I have to rely on myself to do this, then I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, but seeing Beck made me change my mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be around for my kids in the future and the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be around for my kids in futureâ&#x20AC;? best way for me to do that is to lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle.â&#x20AC;?

Carbon farming works on initiative

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S not just a win-win, according to Katie Finlay, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win-win.

The Harcourt orchardist is a keen supporter of the Carbon Farming Initiative, which is holding a workshop in Bendigo later this month, one of only three in Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more I understood, the more I thought this is right for us,â&#x20AC;? Katie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so sure this is good for our region, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m helping hotographer all I can to let people know about the workshop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to talk much before people understand why this makes sense.â&#x20AC;?

The workshop is run by Carbon Farmers of Australia, a not-forprofit company set up

by Michael and Louisa Kiely as a support

and information network.

To be held at the Foundry Hotel in High Street on February 27, the workshop covers everything from why soil carbon benefits agriculture to the development of offsettrading methodologies.

Katie and husband Hugh grow peaches, apricots, apples, plums, and

Fruit Gardens is certified organic, Katie said every business, even the most conventional, can benefit from taking on carbon farming methods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just far more sustainable,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more carbon in the soil, the more productive that soil, and you reduce erosion, increase wa-

(before last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s floods damaged the trees) cherries on their 60-acre Mt Alexander Fruit Gardens.

They decided to go carbon neutral some time back, which led to Katie signing on to do the Carbon Farming and Trading workshop in Dubbo last year.

While Mt Alexander

ter efficiency, the lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the Carbon Farming Initiative also providing opportunities to make money, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubly attractive for farmers and good for all of us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win-win.â&#x20AC;?

Katie said she begged the Kielys to bring their workshops to Victoria, and to Bendigo in par-

turn.

L E TTE R S to the editor

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, February 10, 2012

email: letters@bendigoweekly.com.au

The future’s renewable I WOULD like to thank Robert Treller for his letter (Bendigo Weekly, February 3) raising the topic of renewable energy generation.

Robert expresses some concerns and questions the promotion of renewable energy for our energy needs.

The simple fact is that renewable energy will play a significant part in powering our future.

Every day the amount of solar energy hitting the earth is greater than 10,000 times the total energy being consumed daily.

Physicist Michio Kaku observes that the abundance of infinite renewable energy resources will power our entire world’s energy demand within 100 years.

Already large corporations such as GE and Cisco are making strategic business decisions to research renewable energy technology and components that will facilitate distributed renewable energy generation in a smarter grid network.

At a local level the Bendigo Sustainability Group has an objective for Bendigo to become 100 per cent powered by renewable energy in the future and are preparing a plan towards this.

The Central Victorian Solar Cities group is also working with many local communities who are interested in establishing their own renewable energy generation capacity.

Why are they interested in this?

Not only because it is good for the environment but they also understand it is good for the economic development and job opportunities within their local community.

As you can see there is growing momentum and a strong appetite both globally and locally for renewable energy developments.

I liken those who seek to deny or resist the inevitable advancement of renewable energy technology to the little boy with his finger in the dyke trying to hold back the tide.

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the many people across Bendigo who recognise the transition to a low-carbon future

will lead to a better, more sustainable and smarter future for us all.

Keith Reynard, Strathfieldsaye

A bridge too far THANKS residents and petitioners for the huge support for an external independent and public council review to identify savings, efficiencies, improvements and new initiatives.

People from all walks of life and shades of politics were involved, something council never wanted to believe.

Disappointingly, despite stressed economic times, seven councillors voted against the transparent review and long-overdue efficiency health check.

Rather, they accepted a flawed senior officers’ report that offered no positive alternatives and rejected the chance to save $1-5 million, year after year for a one-off cost of up to $250,000. A constructive opportunity lost for residents.

It seems senior officers could not assess objectively a review that may lessen their control, the way they operate and their management structure. We expected them to say “no”, but not our councillors.

Councillors Peter Cox and LisaRuffell recognised the review’s merit, and had the courage to speak up for the community; it was ‘a bridge too far’ this time.

It’s obvious most councillors failed to consult the community, or carefully weigh up both the review proposal and submissions that countered the officers’ position. It is now clear officers have a greater influence than the public.

Ironically, some councillors who opposed the review in debate suggested a review might be a good idea after the council elections. An inevitable opportunity delayed.

Council maintains an external independent and public review is unnecessary because it already does a good job.

Really? The test will be whether councillors vote for the planned six per cent rate rise in June.

Expect a long-term increase in enrolments IN the Bendigo Weekly, February 3, an article and an editorial about enrolments in the Bendigo Education Plan schools provided a reasonable perspective of the challenges and progress in these schools.

The article focused on projected 2012 enrolments. However, the actual first-day enrolment figures are now available and present a more accurate picture.

Compared to 2011, Bendigo

South East Secondary College is down 29 students but is close to capacity.

Crusoe Secondary College is up 12 students, Eaglehawk Secondary College down one student and Weeroona College down 35 students.

These enrolments are as expected given that the Grade 6 enrolments in 2011 were the lowest for six years.

At the other end of the spectrum, enrolments for Bendigo Senior Secondary College are up 91 students on the 2011 figures.

The editorial commented about the Bendigo Education Plan objectives to improve educational outcomes for students.

We have already seen improvements across the schools in terms of students’ attitudes and expectations (La Trobe University longitudinal study).

This data is being reinforced through the traditional data collected by schools relating to student, parent and teacher attitudes.

Absences are less, suspensions have dramatically decreased and NAPLAN results in reading and numeracy are improving.

Interestingly, the fastest-improving school is Eaglehawk Secondary College. This was one of the first two BEP schools to be completed, finalising its building program early in 2011.

As the remaining two BEP schools complete their building programs this year, I am confident that in the future we will see a long-term increase in enrolments associated with improved outcomes for every student.

Fiery week ends with mayoral apology WHO is immature and playing politics? Cr Reade needs to grow up and be aware of what he is putting on Twitter.

Is our group of councillors so disrespectful of each other they have to Twitter? Reade has never had a liking for Cr Ruffell because she stands up for her community.

As Cr Cox says, why should you be told what to say and when? It is about transparency.

Keep the truth coming Weekly.

HOW could anyone trust this mayor, who attacks his fellow councillors over something we should all know about? No wonder he did not want an independent review.

Good on you Cr Ruffell and Cr Cox for standing up and being counted when the the others ran with the pack.

Posted by Leafy Green Trees COUNCILLORS are elected by the people to represent them.

This is a democratic country. It is councillor’s duty to speak out and question. It has nothing to do with respect. Cr Sanders’ views

and how he runs this office is antiquated.

He cannot stop these councillors from speaking out, as he could in the old times where everything was hushed up and stayed behind closed doors.

I am glad these councillors are on board.

And glad the Bendigo Weekly is up with these stories, so the public is informed. Democracy and freedom of speech will prevail.

The last 10 years of Labor really exposed how amateurishly Labor’s ‘team’ performs when in government.

The word chaotic sums their efforts up well.

Jacinta Allan was the worst-performing minister in the most mediocre government in this state’s history, the damage she did to the TAFE sector will take many years to repair.

As a result of Labor’s mismanagement the State is in debt and Victorians will be paying higher and higher prices for water and power into the foreseeable future.

Pool a poll win

tHOSE campaigning for the pool at the planned aquatic centre at Kangaroo Flat to be 50 metres instead of 25 have walked into the perfect storm.

For years, council staff have been trying to convince councillors, members of the public and media, that a 25 metre pool was the way to go. at council on Wednesday night, three councillors supported that view, and it is hard to work out why. it is, however, not hard to work out why four â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the majority on the night â&#x20AC;&#x201C;rejected that push and voted for the larger option.

Money seemed to be the main reason councillors Peter Cox, James Reade and Rod Campbell voted against the 50 metre option.

However, the financial side of things, it would seem, was a good reason to vote for it. the council report highlighted it would cost a little over 10 per cent more to double the size of the pool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $25 million to $28 million. it sounds like good economic sense to make it bigger now, rather than in the future.

What also makes good economic sense is planning for future growth.

Pool campaigner and former City of Greater Bendigo councillor alan Besley used to preface most of his

PK with

Peter Kennedy

Editorial Comment

council reports by describing Kangaroo Flat as the ever-growing southern gateway of the city.

He was right, both geographically and demographically. Kangaroo Flat is almost full. there are new housing estates popping up everywhere.

Like the rest of Bendigo, residential growth is booming. it is therefore odd some councillors would vote for a $12 million, four-storey residential and commercial development in Wills Street one minute, citing the need for such projects in our ever-growing city, and vote against the pool, which will help cater for such growth, the next.

On top of that there is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obesity crisis, with Bendigo being home to the second-largest (pun intended) percentage of overweight or obese people in Victoria.

Surely a 50m pool would encourage more people to get out and start swimming, rather than a cramped 25m facility. there is also the political reality of the project, which is where

the perfect storm comes to life.

With a retiring federal member, issues like a Kangaroo Flat pool become important in the electorate.

Both sides of federal politics should be keen to throw money at the plan, at some stage along the journey.

Perhaps more significant is state politics. the Labor Party took a big hit in Bendigo West, which includes Kangaroo Flat, at the 2010 election.

Maree Edwards is vulnerable and the nationals know it, which is why their candidate, Stephen Oliver, campaigned strongly on the pool plan.

However, there are also council politics that come into play.

While there is no questioning the legitimacy of their reasons, three, not one, of the four councillors who voted for the 50m option, may face voters from Kangaroo Flat at the election due later this year.

Under the new structure a large part of the wards of Barry Lyons (Kangaroo Flat Ward), Rod Fyffe (Golden Square) and Bruce Phillips (north West Plains) will now be in one ward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Lockwood Ward. that ward, which will have three representatives, includes the entirety of Kangaroo Flat. a good example of all politics being local.

This Year, Find Time For Yourself.

Now for the funding chase Sanity prevailed at this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City of Greater Bendigo council meeting when the decision was made to support a 50 metre swimming pool at Kangaroo Flat over the 25m option originally proposed. and while everyone acknowledges the 50 metre option will cost about 10 per cent, or $3 million more, it must be pointed out that no one expects the City of Greater Bendigo to have to foot the bill for the entire $3 million price difference between the two options canvassed by councillors.

Bendigo now needs to turn to its elected representatives to do what they are paid to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; represent us, and funding for this project is almost certain to become a major election issue both in 2013 (federal election) and 2014 (state election). Bendigo is the seat of two marginal state seats and this community should expect tightly fought and an even more vigorous than usual campaign in the lead-up to november 2014.

Federally, Steve Gibbons

will bow out in 2013, 15 years after first winning the seat of Bendigo. While his margin is almost double digit, only a fool would seriously believe that it would hold up to this extent considering the mess federal politics has become. this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revelation that Bendigo is growing far more quickly than our residential housing strategy had predicted, coupled with Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confirmation that we are one of the fattest, most overweight and unhealthy municipalities in the state, are two more important considerations to weigh up in considering whether to opt for a possible 25 metre pool or a 50 metre complex.

Cr Reade was right when he said Council did not have the financial means to manage the proposed swimming pool project in the foreseeable future. that said, this is where the relationships between the three levels of government now need to be put to the test for the benefit of the community. the report to councillors

considered at this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting also makes one other very interesting point: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;What is more difficult to measure is the cost of the social benefit and sense of community pride in a 50 metre swimming pool.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Undoubtedly, one of the tougher aspects surrounding the adoption of an aquatic strategy will be the closure of other pools and transformation of others, an issue that has attracted a lot of emotion, debate and controversy over the past decade whenever itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been mentioned.

Councillors should be congratulated for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. the support for a new 50 metre swimming pool complex at Kangaroo Flat embodies a lot more vision, strategic thinking, community support and even bravery than the alternative. the decision rightly commits this community to the pursuit of the very best option, something we should always strive for, and so now begins the campaign to attract a level of funding both the project and the community deserves.

St Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S is hoping to create an even stronger bike riding culture in Bendigo with the rollout of their new fleet of staff bikes. the five bikes from Bendigo Cycles were unveiled at a breakfast launch on Wednesday, with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebratory wheelieâ&#x20AC;? at St Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by chief executive officer David Pugh.

Staff members hope to achieve up to five

kilometres a day, and those who attain 100km of travel or more over the next 12 months will receive a free helmet and a water bottle.

St Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential care co-ordinator Ben Shue, who rides 17km from Axe Creek every day to work, said the idea grew out of a successful Ride to Work Day promotion. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrown open the challenge to other local businesses and groups to follow suit.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see other businesses follow suit and help create a bike riding culture in Bendigo,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also ties in very well with St Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Justice program, where we aim to be good stewards of resources, our community and our own wellbeing, be positive role models for kids and leave the earth a better place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to normalise bicycles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and

walking too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as modes of transport and double the number of people riding to work.â&#x20AC;?

Green-friendly City of Greater Bendigo councillor keith Reynard welcomed the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is a great initiative and will set a precedent for others to follow,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council would like to encourage greater activity through cycling, walking and public transport.â&#x20AC;?

COFFEE is the fuel of life for Ryan Lynch, master roaster and business owner of Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;hooft coffee roasters.

He opened the unique cafe in 2006, and two years later fell in love with and became obsessed with coffee.

His taste for a good coffee roast was developed by trial and error and that meant drinking and roasting an awful lot of coffee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to love coffee, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no such thing as bad coffee, some just taste better than others and everyone has their own personal taste,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many sets of hands have to love it on its journey from tree to the cup. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unlike wine making.â&#x20AC;?

Ryan maintains roasting the coffee beans is like cooking, with the nearest comparison being macaroons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs perfect timing, perfect temperature and perfect resting time,â&#x20AC;? he said.

And he has ample cooking experience; after leaving school at 15 he went straight into a chef apprenticeship and at 18 landed his first head chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job at Darby Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Gills, now the Metro and Pugg Mahoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish Bar. Ryan sources the best quality green beans from all over the world, choosing only hand-picked Fair Trade beans from third world countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hand pickers might visit the same tree three times in one day

astating flood and Ryan has been hands-on with them ever since.

After spending considerable time training their baristas he continues to visit them on a weekly basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has become a partnership of passion, â&#x20AC;&#x153; he said.

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;hooft has four full-time baristas and Ryan confesses he occasionally â&#x20AC;&#x153;spills the beansâ&#x20AC;? with his customers passing on tips for brewing at home.

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;hooft offers retail sales in all blends served in house along with online retail sales for out-oftowners.

Ryan plans to extend the kitchen and downstairs dining area at Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;hooft and his latest venture is a mobile coffee van, in the same retro style as the caravan inside the cafe. Look out for it at forthcoming Bendigo Community Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Markets and other events.

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;hooft is open for breakfast, lunch and coffee seven days, 8am to 4pm weekdays and 8am to 3pm Saturday and Sunday.

to ensure the beans are picked at their best, unlike machine picking which removes all beans at the same time regardless of ripeness.

DISCOVER BENDIGO

My Dad is a ...

LAST week I started describing some of the occupations of parents who had sent their children to the North Bendigo State School, situated on the corner of Smith, Nolan and Barney streets, in Irishtown.

As mentioned, on the whole, it was only the male parent whose occupation was stated in the records, the exception being otherwise for widows or women who had married Chinese men, then, it was the women who were recorded as being the responsible parent.

In 1903, young Jessie Doig of Lobb Street was first enrolled. Her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was Glen, registered as a carpenter.

In later years, Glen Doig was involved in the dismantling and erection of mining plants, in particular poppet heads.

Gasfitter Frederick Schoder, who lived in Caledonia Street, never had far to go to the headquarters of his place of work, down the hill to the Bendigo Gas Works.

Mr Schoder, who was born in 1837 at Wurttemberg, Germany, had arrived in the colony of Victoria in 1863 and marrying Agnes Morrison six years later, they were late starters with their family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; son Fredrick Andrew was written into the school records in 1905.

Only a few years later Frederick senior died, it would be interesting to know how his widow fared afterwards.

Number 18 Bridge Street was the address of nurse Mary J Youlton, her daughter Ivy was placed on the school records in 1906.

Unfortunately we do not know if Mary Youlton was em-

WITH

JAMES LERK ployed as a nurse in a private capacity or at the Bendigo and Northern District Base Hospital.

Alternatively she could have been engaged in any of the number of small private hospitals which were scattered over various parts of the Bendigo urban area.

John Rowe, a labourer of Frederick Street, had his young son Albert documented at the school towards the end of March 1903.

... it was only the male parent whose occupation was stated in the records Continuity of work was not an easy thing, so when there was a surge in mining activity at Diamond Hill in 1912 the Rowe family moved to that southern part of Bendigo, settling there in July.

A name strongly associated with the early pioneers of quartz mining in Bendigo was that of Hildebrandt.

Johann Christopher Hildebrandt was born at Hanover in 1829, having arrived on the Bendigo goldfield in the mid 1850s.

Almost immediately he struck success on the New Chum Line of Reef together with fellow German Heinrich (Henry) Koch, in a claim held where Chum Street now is, at the current car park site of St John of God Hospital.

Hildebrandt senior married

another German, Louisa Bernau who had been born in 1847 at Magdeburg.

One of their children was Heinrich Hildebrandt who lived at Barney Street and was a highly competent mine engine driver.

His daughter, Stella, started at the North Bendigo State School on December 1, 1907.

There were a number of names that were intimately associated with Irishtown, and known to all, they were the Schellenbergers and also the Beischers.

Johann George Schellenberger, a baker, was born at Merxheimon-Nahe, Germany in 1826.

He set foot in Melbourne in 1852, and soon after made his way to Bendigo.

Mr Schellenberger was quite a successful man in a variety of enterprises, including gold mining.

However the supply of sustenance in the form of bread became his real gold mine.

Coupled with the bakery he built the Bakery Arms Hotel, thereby satisfying another basic need, to quench oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thirst.

Upon his death in 1876, it was Wilhelm Beischer who then took over the bakery, located almost adjacent to the Tysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reef Hotel.

Wilhelm (William) Beischer was born at Merxheim, Germany in 1844 having arrived on the Roxborough Castle in 1863.

As a fully fledged baker he was employed by Schellenberger and in 1877 married Wilhelminna Schellenberger.

One of their children, Freder-

IRISHTOWN BREAD: Made by W. Beischer. ick William Beischer was also to become a baker.

He was to be commonly referred to as Fritz, and it was that name that was recorded when Elizabeth Beischer, his daughter, was enrolled at the school on October 26, 1907.

Members of the Beischer family were to become prominent in Victoria in the fields of medicine and dentistry.

ENTERTAINED

WILKINSONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S WIN BEN CAMERON

THE Bendigo music invasion continues, as a move to Melbourne four years ago starts to pay dividends for Neil Wilkinson (far right).

The guitarist relished the ultimate homecoming last April when his brooding, psych-rock band Redcoats played Groovin The Moo. And less than a year later, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cracked the most important song sheet for bands on the periphery of national recognition, Triple Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hottest 100; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dark and broodyâ&#x20AC;? Dreamshaker came in at number 76. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was written in the first rehearsal... that was from our initial jam,â&#x20AC;? Wilkinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started off as like a 15 minute jam.â&#x20AC;? (The clip was put together by another talented Bendigonian, Sam Frederick, a designer who has also worked with Nick Caveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grinderman).

Plaudits aside, Wilkinson is just glad to have made the move back in 2007 as a 19-yearold with designs on band domination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to bite the bullet, but it all comes together sometimes,â&#x20AC;? he says of Redcoatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgeoning success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy (to make the move), you have to drop everything really, all the

financial worries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a one track one mind about yourself enough, if you want what you want to just throw yourself in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But moving to Melbourne geographically is not that heavy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close enough to do that (return home occasionally), but far away enough to form your own life.â&#x20AC;?

2011 been a stellar year for Bendigo musicians who have made the trip down the Calder for musical purposes.

Jacob McGuffie and his Fearless Vampire Killers have become JJJ staples, while Wilkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former band mate Nadine Muller, is with Wolfy and the Bat Cubs, who launched their debut EP in Fitzroy recently to an eager and packed house.

Wilkinson was actually a fan of Redcoats, before becoming a member, however. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went and saw them at The Tote before I was in the band... I loved it, although I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t into what the guitarist was doing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just watching the other boys and they were really blowing me away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a different kind of soundscape, but I got the feeling Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to get involved.â&#x20AC;?

While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been watching

Redcoats closely, they had an eye on him too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came and watched me one night, I was playing with Spencer P Jones and the Escape Committee,â&#x20AC;? Wilkinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I noticed they were in the crowd so I pulled out all stops, I turned up the amp a bit and finished the gig by putting the guitar in the roof, and making it scream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was looking down on them the whole time going â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You see that? Do you like that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all worked out quite perfectly in retrospect.â&#x20AC;?

After bumping into the band at Cherry Bar later on, Wilkinson finally became a Redcoat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Lead singer) Emilio said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I wanna have a talk to youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;?

Wilkinson remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I know, I know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to say, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love toâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;?

In 2010 the band eventually decided to give it a go full time, which suited Wilkinson, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been jumping from one bar job to the next. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sort of suited my lifestyle (working bars), I was going to be there anyway,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I may as well have got paid to be there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked at a couple of

Readcoats massive, cash flash disgusting nightclubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ended up getting fired from most jobs, all of them actually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d got booked by Premier (Artists), Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had enough of that bar work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is the one job I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get fired from.â&#x20AC;?

With cash flow still a bit

tight, Redcoats are happiest on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m managing to get by, none of us can afford to play rent or anything so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of crashing around,â&#x20AC;? Wilkinson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got enough beautiful friends to look after us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the road it

(money) revolves around quite nicely, but when we get back in the city... it gets a little bit interesting financially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at the end of the day we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care less, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing what we love.â&#x20AC;?

Redcoats play Push Over Festival at The Abbotsford Convent on March 12.

VIKA BULL

THEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S no chance the music will ever stop for Vika Bull. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan on stopping (singing) because I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, if I do I will die,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a health thing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it makes me feel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like going to the gym.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nearly 25 years since she and sister Linda burst onto the Australian music scene as green, twenty-something backing singers for The Black Sorrows.

It would prove to be the ultimate break, as Joe Camilleri and his Sorrows churned those 80s classics Hold Onto Me, Chained to the Wheel and Harley and Rose.

And they remain sentimental favourites for listeners of all ages, even the hipsters, as she discovered at Pyramid Rock recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sang with Ash Grunwald at Pyramid Rock the other day and I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Here we go... theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to chuck cans at us and stuff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they were really nice to

me, the crowd was lovely.â&#x20AC;?

Twenty-five years is a long time in any industry, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to have made songwriting any easier though; with a new Vika and Linda album in the works, Bull admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a hard slog.

Linda has pulled out all stops for the record, learning her first ever instrument: the uke (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never learned anything in her life.â&#x20AC;?) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to write the songs, which I find really, really hard,â&#x20AC;? Bull admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think of something, but then I think, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been done, somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said that before, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I hear stuff by Kasey Chambers... sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing, and I think â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How did she do that? Jesus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so simple and so beautifulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;?

Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block aside, Bull is happy to still be in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really long time (25 years) but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still doing it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My plan was to never do it for

LIFE • 21

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Shake, rattle and roly poly A few weeks in, and Steve has discovered there’s a health professional for every step of the way...

THE pack has been unleashed.

It’s my own doing of course.

Since I hopped on board the Bendigo Weekly Better Health Club it’s been nothing but questions and proddings from the medical fraternity.

The now-famous Mrs Doctor is pleased I have gone public, she says with readers keeping me on track she doesn’t have to nag so much.

Though I reckon most women feel the need to nag.

Take Mung Bean, my dietitian, for instance.

I told her I was going to stop eating as much and go on the milkshake diet, she then proceeded to tell me what I had to do. I thought I had told her what I was going to do.

Just doesn’t work that way.

On another health matter, when I passed the magic 50 mark the Australian Government sent me a parcel.

Good of them you think.

Trouble was this parcel was all part of the bowel cancer screening program.

I had to provide two samples.

STEVE KENDALL ON LIFE

Thankfully it was an easy procedure, but hardly the kind of gift you relish.

Anyway, ticked that one off on the process of heading for good health. All clear.

Not satisfied with that, Mrs Doctor mentioned the prostate check again.

Bloodwork for it was OK, but I still need to have the physical.

Something, and you know what it is, keeps me from having it done.

The long-suffering Mrs Kendall weighed in here.

“Think yourself lucky you don’t have to put your boobs in a press or have a pap smear,” she said, in a classic case of one-upmanship.

I might manage the moobs, but the pap would be a tricky situation.

In the interest of research I went to see Mr Cutt the surgeon to talk about the gastric sleeve procedure.

Reader Roy had emailed me to say stay away from the knife, but I thought I

BendigoWeekly

would investigate anyway.

Slim Mr Cutt took me through the choice of procedures on offer. All involved fiddling around inside me with sharp bits.

I think I may get round to it one day, but at the moment I will continue with the milkshakes.

Seems to be working for the moment.

Mrs Doctor, Mung Bean and Mr Cutt all told me to use Optifast.

There are others around,

but I did as I was told.

Comes from long practice with Mrs K. Mr Cutt sent me for blood samples to see what I had in me.

I honestly think my arm is now empty. He wanted a bit for everything.

At least 10 tubes were filled, I nearly fainted and the poor phlebotomist was nearly as tearful as me. I don’t let the stuff go easily.

When I went to see Mrs Doctor later in the day I re-

alised I only needed to have the blood samples taken if I went ahead with the procedure.

Ouch, on two levels.

I weighed in and relayed the figures, 120.2 kilograms.

All is going well.

When we do the BMI sums it’s still high, but a 7.8kg loss in two weeks can’t be bad. And at least the BMI is under 40 at 38.7.

I also rechecked my height and found I am 177cm rather than

176. Every little helps.

For the purpose of reporting I’ll stick with the shorter figure because that’s what I started with.

So, I’m on the shakes, the weight is going down... and Mrs Doctor introduced a new girl to the team.

The exercise physiologist is my next port of call.

Hello, pleased to meet you (I hope) Miss V Fitt, she is too.

This health thing will run and run... puff.

Local firms help generate award nomination

RIAN HAYES of North Central Energy Services is finally seeing alternate energy becoming more viable and affordable after more than 25 years in the solar power industry, specialising in remote power systems.

“We can supply alternative renewable energy systems utilising both solar and wind for domestic/off or on grid,” Brian said.

Being one of the region’s longest established alternative energy providers and a registered electrical and renewable energy contractor it was not surprising they were recently involved in the planning and building of the Eco Cabins at Gisborne Peak Winery, opened late last year by federal member for McEwen Rob Mitchell.

Brian Hayes had consulted widely with owners Bob and Barbara Nixon prior to getting the go ahead to supply both solar, wind and diesel generator power for the tourist

accommodation nestled beneath Mount Macedon.

The winery also received a TQual grant – an Australian government initiative – of $100,000 for a quality tourist venture combining renewable power, rainwater harvest and sustainable dwellings.

In fact the whole project has now been nominated for the 2012 Clean Energy Council Awards for national recognition thanks to the help of some enterprising Bendigo businesses – North Central Energy Services and Ortech Industries.

“We used Australian-made components where possible including the wind turbines and towers, in fact the tower for the Gisborne Peak Winery was manufactured in Western Australia,” Brian said.

North Central Energy Services install and service all throughout Victoria and are members of the Solar Energy Industries Association.

NOMINATED: Gisborne Peak Winery for the 2012 Clean Energy Council Awards.

Legion back in action

M

eMbers of the bendigo Legion Club have been left to their own devices over the Christmas and New Year period, apart from one club trip to the edwards river last month which proved extremely popular.

The trip proved perseverance pays off for several members who got among the sometimes elusive Murray cod.

Twenty-two members enjoyed the facilities at View Bank, just outside Deniliquin, with great weather and a clear and stable river level.

Noel Whyte had a weekend to remember, landing a legal cod on his first cast along with another two sized cod over the weekend making him the eventual winner, while Terry Jenkins and Garry Bolger enticed a couple of keepers aboard as usual.

Even the bait soakers got among the fish with Mick O’Connor landing a 69cm cod, which was the largest fish going into Sunday.

Anthony Griffiths landed a solid 70cm cod on the Sunday morning only to be outgunned by Noel who landed a 72cm later in the morning.

Even the Goulburn River has been providing worthwhile activity with club president Maurice Knight and son Rohan getting among the action in the Nagambie region over the last month, returning with two Murray cod, two golden perch and a feed of redfin all on bait.

Let’s hope it’s still fishing as well when the Bendigo Legion Angling Club holds its monthly trip to Majors Creek Reserve on

freshwater fishing

nick atyeo February 18 and 19. Contact Maurice Knight for more details.

A barbecue got the year’s proceedings off to a flying start during the week with 46 members fronting up to our first meeting for 2012.

Members heard recent reports from far and wide with several members reporting plenty of action for those prepared to fish the tides.

Tony Gane experienced some remarkable fishing at Forster just north of Wilson’s Promontory over the holidays.

Closer to home Eppalock is still producing for those prepared to move around.

Small plastics, vibes and yabbies are still proving irresistible when the fish are located.

Reports indicate that the fish are no longer schooled up but are still holding around the deeper ledges.

Next month’s meeting on Monday, March 5, at our usual venue at the RSL Hall in Station Street Kangaroo Flat at 7.30pm will certainly be informative with Chris Braden from Goulburn-Murray Water in attendance telling members of the authority’s future plans for our closest waterway.

Dave Nicholas from Axis PDF will also be there with the latest information on inflatable PFD inspection and regulations.

GREAT BAIT: Mick O’Connor with his 69cm cod.

Fair catch as fish rise to feed on the early morning midges r

oger booth had some good fishing at barkers Creek reservoir before the shallows warmed. over a couple of weeks roger had caught a number of trout, both browns and rainbows, in water that was one metre deep or even shallower. evenings were the best time. the most successful flies were small (size16) shipman’s buzzers and emerging Caddis. there have been hatches of midges and large and small caddis in the evening, hence the success of these flies.

fly fishing

joe singe roger said he caught only trout, with not much evidence of the small redfin that sometimes inhabit the reservoir shallows at this time of year. bob evans also reports large hatches of midge in the early mornings and evenings at barkers Creek reservoir.

While early in the morning, and in the evenings, are the best times don’t be surprised to see

fish rising all through the day, on cloudy days.

Damien Keegan fished at barkers Creek reservoir recently and was pleasantly surprised to find trout rising during the middle of the day.

Damien caught a number of the smaller trout on a Parachute Adams dry fly and saw a number of larger fish rising to surface food. the trout were most likely feeding on midge but I would not be

The trout have moved out into cooler, deeper waters surprised to find out that there was a hatch of flying ants at the reservoir. these hatches most often occur in cloudy, stormy weather.

If you are lucky enough to be on the water when there are flying ants about, you can expect to see lots of rising fish.

Unfortunately, it seems that as the shallows have warmed, the trout have moved out into cooler, deeper waters as they can still be seen rising further out.

Col holland fished the Nariel Creek (near Corryong in north-east Victoria) for a number of nice trout about one kilogram on a royal Wulff dry fly recently.

Duck out for a day in the wild

N just five weeks on March 17, the 2012 duck season starts.

The rapidly rising sun to the east will have cast its warming glow over the surrounding wetlands with the mist slowly evaporating, as the season finally gets under way.

Thousands of shooters throughout Victoria will have spent hours in preparation for this moment, shotguns ready, thermoses filled and waders patched for the opportunity to experience the great outdoors along with the primitive satisfaction that comes with providing ones own food.

While vocal critics of this once popular pastime still resonate throughout the community, shooters themselves and government regulation have helped ensure the reported carnage of bygone eras is not repeated.

Strict regulations and an army of field officers will make sure the season starts with maximum compliance and minimal confrontation.

In fact, the support and self regulation by groups such as the Sporting Shooters Association and Australian Field and Game have assisted both the environment and its wildlife over the past few decades.

This is as acknowledged by Victoria’s Agriculture and Food Security Minister, when commenting on the health of Victoria’s wetlands.

“The land and our waterways and wetlands have made a rapid recovery following the breaking of the drought which has provided highly productive habitats with an abundance of food,” minister Peter Walsh said.

He also acknowledged the economic benefits to come.

“The duck hunting season will generate a great deal of economic activity, particularly for those northern Victorian communities affected by last summer’s floods,” he said.

management has been transferred to the Department of Primary Industries with their own dedicated game officers with personnel from both Parks Victoria and Victoria Police assisting throughout the season.

According to the department, hunting in Victoria is regulated to provide continued sustainable, humane, ethical and safe

recreational hunting opportunities; ensure equitable sharing of game resources with the public; minimise the destruction of non-game species and ensure the protection of wildlife habitats.

Despite claims from some vocal protest groups, this year’s season is no longer than last season and will cease on June 1.

Cooking with duck

Field and Game Australia’s Game Cookbook tells readers that wild duck like most game contains little fat and requires cooking methods that preserve moisture.

IRONMAN WINCH / AIRBAG COMPATIBLE BULL BARS

Most popular methods require a long time on low heat with plenty of moisture with camp ovens and crock pots a popular addition to the duck shooter’s arsenals.

Why not try an easy camp recipe to get started such as

the Marinated Mounties.

You’ll need two skinned diced mountain ducks bones and all.

A quarter of a cup of red wine, one tablespoon of oil, two tablespoons soy sauce, two tablespoons tomato sauce.

A clove or more of garlic and

quarter of a tablespoon of onion salt.

Marinate for two to three hours then cook in camp oven for one and a half hours or until tender.

LABRADOR CROSS, BLACK/WHITE CHEST MALE, 6 MONTHS

I am a lovely lad who is capable of wonderful focus and can absorb lessons like a sponge.

I have incredible potential as a family dog but do require further socialization in an obedience situation, so classes for me would be a must.

I am still young and impressionable, therefore very trainable and I am very active. I will be Desexed upon adoption.

EVA

FEMALE, 1 YEAR

DSH, BLUE

I am a beautiful affectionate girl who is fairly laid-back and quite happy to just laze around and sit on your lap. I love my attention and I would suit well to any family or Individual, so why not come in and see this beautiful girl. I will be Desexed upon adoption.

We have great cats and dogs available for adoption, the adoption includes Desex and Microchipping. Any pet owners who don’t have their pets Desexed, it is encouraged and the shelter will advocate anyone who wants their animal Desexed.

CYCLING Why Bendigo needs a Digital Economy & Community Strategy

The City of Greater Bendigo is currently preparing its “Digital Economy & Community Strategy” to outline the City’s vision and goals for the implementation of the National Broadband Network (NBN).

Cities like Bendigo need a Digital Economy & Community Strategy to realise the benefits of the NBN and position themselves as leaders in the digital economy.

Bendigo’s Strategy will set out the way current and future technologies will be used to improve business, education, health, recreation and the environment.

With its Strategy in hand, Bendigo will be fully prepared to take advantage of the NBN, as soon as the region is announced in the rollout list.

The Australian Government’s National Digital Economy Strategy is available at: www.nbn.gov.au

Help put Bendigo on the next NBN rollout list by registering your support now at:

Summer Series heats up LAST weekend’s Café Roubaix Summer Series saw even larger fields and an even larger crowd turn out for three grades of fast paced cycling action at Mayfair Park.

In the Ronde Gloves C Grade 20 minutes-plus three-lap event the lead changed hands several times, with the consistent Tom Floyd proving too strong for veteran Steve Flood and series leader Mat Runnalls in third place.

A large field of 40 riders then took to the circuit for the Hume & Iser B Grade 30 minutes-plus three-laps race, with several riders including Daryl Stewart testing the nerve of the peleton by trying to establish a breakaway.

In the end, it was Martin Banfield who took the points, followed by Brad McCallum and Nick Gates.

Then it was the turn of the Symes Motors A Grade riders, and this week’s quality field included Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sean Finning, the versatile Lachie Norris and triathlon champ Leon Griffin,

AWESOME FOURSOME: Brendan Shultz, Shaun McCarthy, Darren Lapthorne and Lachlan Stewart. Photo: DARREN CASEY as well as German rider Timon Loderer and locals Kate Finegan, Luke Drummond, Tim Hucker, Peter Ladd and Luke Knox.

The experience, strength and ability of Darren Lapthorne, Shaun McCarthy, Brendan Schultz and Lauchie Stewart proved too much however, with

the quartet lapping the field inside of 16 minutes from the start in an awesome display of riding.

Lapthorne showed he was still the man to beat for the Symes Motors A Grade title by taking out the race, ahead of McCarthy and Schultz. Stewart

failed to shake off a bad cramp five minutes from the finish in the hard luck story of the day.

Marshals included Sam Jelbart, Tony Jelbart, Garry Pont., Andrew Creek, Ben Knight, Tom Cobden and Petar Benjamin.

Racing continues this Sunday at Mayfair Park from 9am.

Sound advice and skill pays off for Adam THE thrills and spills of two-wheeled racing and riding has long been a part of Adam Nicolson’s life.

Growing up in Charlton, his affinity with motors started around the age of six with family and friends.

Adam’s uncles Mark and Graham Nicolson had been Herald Sun Tour competitors back in the days of there being professional and amateur ranks, as well as Adam’s father Alan being a handy cyclist at a local level until work and family took precedence.

It was the schoolboys’ cycling championships that captured Adam around the age of 13, making another generation of Nicolson two-wheeled competitors.

The disciplines required kept Adam clear of the peer group pressures of those days, the lure of underage smoking and drinking.

Local Charlton cycling legend, Lloyd Patterson, took on a coaching and mentoring role in Adam’s formative years giving much-needed wisdom

EDDIE BARKLA that would keep Adam focused in both motor and human-powered pursuits of racing on two wheels.

Race etiquette and knowing how to read a race, follow the right wheel, pick the right cornering lines and knowing when to dictate pressure at the right times are all foundations built in the early years of being guided

by Lloyd.

Adam can remember as clear as yesterday the following advice “never squander opportunities in the hope of keeping a mark for the one big event.

“Growth and strength comes by making the best opportunity of your winning ability.”

Adam entered into the competitive side of motocross around 19-yearsold and has recently progressed to road racing as another string to the twowheel bow.

In recent years Adam has won a number of mo-

Adam appreciates the synergies between the two disciplines

THRILLS AND SPILLS: Adam Nicolson tocross club championships including the Bendigo, Ararat and North West Regional championships.

In 2008 and 2010 he won the Victorian Road Race Championship as an aggregate over four rounds of racing competition.

Adam appreciates the synergies between the two disciplines in having a good eye to look ahead and read a race and know race lines in cornering.

The fitness that is essential in cycling helps to maintain the anaerobic

and aerobic capacity that is fully worked over in a motor cycle race.

Although at a much higher speed on a motor bike, track and criterium racing have a special affinity with motor cycle racing – knowing how to be close to other competitors and maintain your racing line.

Being on two wheels is a thrill that can only be experienced in the race event, whether it be human powered cycling or motor powered and taking a fall is a given at some

time, mostly when you least expect it.

There has been a high cost to Adam, with broken wrist bones, collar bone both pinned and screwed, broken thumb, elbow, bone graft to left hip, multiple broken ribs, cracked shoulder blade twice, cracked sternum and numerous concussions.

Adam also attributes some of his success to knowing how to use core body strength, in changing the centre of gravity at the critical stage and not lose pace and direction.

The future holds the hope of being top three in Australia as much as seeing his own boys succeed at their chosen sport.

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

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

Neptune, god of the sea, will be flowing through the territory of your unconscious mind. You may develop an active dream life. You might have a need to explore this territory through keeping a journal, the arts, or counselling. Psychic vampires may be intrusive until you find out why your unconscious is calling them.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

During the next 14 years your former sense of community may become scattered. This could be due to a move to a different territory. You could change your taste in churches or other organisations that have previously given you a sense of identity. As you move into a different world of community, it is important that you open your mind. Don’t close yourself into a cocoon.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

The overall effect of this transit is to loosen your ties to that which you consider representative of your security in life. Maybe it is time for you to become acquainted with the spiritual as a genuine support factor in your consciousness. Beware of the potential for water problems concerning your property.

1002

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

Neptune is moving into the life sector of higher education, publishing, the law, the internet and religious institutions. Your attitude about one or more of these life experiences is likely to become disenchanted. You may discover that which was working before is not really serving you as you wish. Thought and adjustments need to be made.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22): Your accustomed workplace may be altered, moved, or otherwise changed into something lacking in the usual structure. Perhaps you begin to work from your car or while travelling, so the scenery shifts frequently. Be conscious of your health. You might be developing allergies or overreacting to chemicals that have previously been customary in your environment.

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

As Neptune transits your second house of income, your accustomed means of making a living will likely change.

During this 14-year period, money and resources will flow in and then out again, mimicking the ocean waves.

You become a conduit. Learn to allow yourself to float with it as though you were in the water.

Use alert consciousness in the area of debt. It could become easy for you to fool yourself into not noticing how the credit cards are filling. Make every effort to create a savings plan and hold yourself accountable to it. Money and resources might slide right through your fingers. If you have depended on others for income, that resource may now begin to vaporise.

You might become enchanted or disenchanted with a lover during these years. Neptune can cause you to see what you want to see in another and then later recognise the real truth. Those with children need to be especially careful to protect them from drugs or chemicals in the environment.

For those who gamble, it is definitely time to quit.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

You may come to a point in which you realise your career is not as fulfilling as you once thought. Sometimes it represents a lay-off or a burn-out. Work in which you can use your intuitive sense and/or your skills as an artist could be appealing. Recognise this is a process and hold to your sense of faith in the future.

Your need to serve humanity in some way is strongly activated at this time. Your compassion is a mantle on your shoulders now. Unfortunately there are those who can sense it and will seek to take advantage of your good nature and kindness. Practice wise discernment.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20):

People who strike you as really strange could move into your neighborhood. It might develop a “transitional” reputation. For those who are open-minded this will be no problem. However, if you are not, it is probably time to consider preparing to move because others will follow.

Siblings may need assistance during this period.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17):

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19):

This is a time in which your faith in the spirit of your understanding is your best ally. You may feel compelled to follow a path that is questionable to folks in a more grounded world. It is possible your interest in the necessary worldly factors of food, housing and money is taking second place to the ideal you seek now. Do concentrate on giving attention to your body.

Emu Valley Cricket Association – Division 1

Close season has its twists WITH just three rounds remaining in the Emu Valley Cricket Association season things are really starting to heat up with the top four far from settled and the start to Round 10 on Saturday providing even more twists to the closest season in years.

Early season strugglers Spring Gully are peaking at the right time of the year, setting United the formidable total of 272 for victory.

Ricky Mannix (106), scoring his first century for the Crows this summer, and Shaun Makepeace (50), reaching another half century, led the way. Tim Gleeson returned the fine figures of 5/69 from 21 overs to be the best of the United bowlers.

United will be looking at big innings from in-form skipper Alex Collins and a return to form from Forbes Klemm, if they are to have any chance of hauling in the Spring Gully total.

Maiden Gully, thanks mainly to skipper Mark Smith (102) who made his first century for the Gully, was the last man dismissed in the 76th over as the team compiled a very respectable total of 266.

He had some good support from Paul Martin (57) and Leigh Draper (30) while the best of the bowlers for West Bendigo was Dion Prange (3/49).

West Bendigo will be looking to Ken Bell and Travis O’Connell to provide them with a platform to chase the 267 needed for victory and hold on to fourth spot on the ladder.

Golden Gully would have been happy posting 204 against top side Mandurang with Geoff Maggs (80) and Darren DeMarchi (51) leading the way, only to see Mandurang go to stumps at 3/118.

Golden Gully skipper Brad Webster will be looking for early wickets when play resumes if they are to have any chance of upsetting Mandurang.

Axe Creek have set Sedgwick a very competitive 224 to chase with Charles Ready, Travis Nolan and Jamie Morgan all passing 30. David Forde with three wickets was the chief destroyer for Sedgwick.

Marong will be confident of defending their score of 283 against Emu Creek, as Richard Murphy and Scott Ross again led the way with half centuries in a very even team performance.

They will be looking to Jeremy Ross to get among the wickets early and expose the fragile Emu Creek middle order that have lost their past four games.

This week saw the beginning of the Emu Valley Major League Indoor Sports Bash For Cash competition with Round One providing a couple of blowout results but also a couple of cliffhangers.

Maiden Gully (3/120) hung on to defeat Strathfieldsaye (6/118) by two runs with Paul Martin (53) and Mark Smith (45) leading the way with the bat and Mark Roberts returning the incredible figures of 2/1 from one over.

Mandurang (7/166) easily accounted for Kangaroo Flat (4/68), with Matt Giri (39) the best of the Mandurang batsmen, while Sedgwick (3/111) with Andrew Sharpe (54) and Scott McKenzie (41) the best batsmen, defeating Emu Creek’s 8/85.

Andrew Gladstone (98 not out) fell agonisingly short of his century in the Marong total of 3/174, as Axe Creek could only manage 5/117 in reply, with Charles Ready (41) the best for the Cowboys. United’s 5/142 was too strong for West Bendigo’s 7/98, and Spring Gully (2/154) edged out Golden Gully (5/147).

Round Two this Tuesday two games are played at Maiden Gully, Club Court Strathfieldsaye and also Tannery Lane so get along and watch some fantastic Emu Valley Cricket action.

Johnston steps up

By BEN CAMERON

HUNTLY/NORTH BENDIGO are on the verge of a first-ever Bendigo District Cricket Association finals berth, and they can thank star all-rounder Sam Johnston for guiding them there.

Hailing from Maryborough, Johnston has enjoyed a brilliant second season in the BDCA, picking up 27 wickets at 16.26, combined with a batting average of 26.44 with 238 runs, including two half centuries.

And his stellar form came to the fore in Round 12, rescuing the Power on day one (53 not out) against ladder leaders Bendigo United, before wrecking the opposition with 6/60 of 27 overs, as his team won a thriller by 13 runs.

Batting first, Huntly/North Bendigo were staring on the precipice at 7/38, before Johnston, batting number eight, ral-

lied with Matt Rule (28) and Todd Jacobs (15) to post a competitive 146.

“I thought we were in a lot of trouble at 7/38 because Bendigo United were bowling well with a still relatively new ball and a grassy wicket,” Johnston said.

“I enjoy the pressure situations which is probably why I enjoy the challenge at bowling at the death and the pressure situations are always a good test to see how good you really are.”

Johnston said the improvement in his game this summer had come from experience at Bendigo cricket’s highest level.

“I’ve probably learnt how to play the Bendigo style of play which is different from how we played in Maryborough,” he said.

“It’s also a mindset. I know I can compete at this level.”

Johnston’s confident mind-

“It has probably been a change in mindset that we know we can compete and win games against anyone,” he said.

Despite a scare at training on Tuesday, when left arm spinner Nick Roebuck dislocated a

shoulder, Johnston’s confident he’ll play.

“He’s a great competitor and doesn’t like missing games,” Johnston said.

WITH seven races on the card, live music and a host of children’s activities, the Marong Cup is the place to be this weekend, for horse enthusiasts and families alike.

The Cup’s Pat Sheehan said this weekend was a true community racing event, with money raised once again going to eight local Catholic schools.

“We’re expecting a crowd of up to 3000,” Sheehan said.

the races, the picnic atmosphere is always a treat.

“It’s a fantastic event run by lots of volunteers, it’s quite unique.”

It’s not all about the nags however, with one of the unofficial highlights on the card being a relay race between representatives of the eight schools, while the screening of Race Six at Caulfield, where sprinting phenonemon Black Caviar will race for its 18th straight win, is sure to turn heads.

All children under the age of 16 are admitted free. Gates open at 11.30am.
