YOUR TAFE NEEDS YOU

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

BUSINESS and community leaders are speaking out in support of Bendigo TAFE, underlining the importance of the institution to the region’s prosperity. “You simply cannot be successful in this area without a ready supply of highly trained employees,� Herbert Hermens, chief executive officer of manufacturing, engineering and sales company, Keech, said. “We recognise the value in having ready access to a region-

Business and city leaders speak out to save crippling change to education ally based, regionally focused training provider.�

Bendigo TAFE chief executive officer Maria Simpson called on the community to “vote with their feet� in response to the cost-cutting measures imposed this week by State Government funding reductions.

“We really need people to make sure they send their apprentices to us, make sure they send their young employees to us, and if they are studying themselves, to make a choice to come to us,� Ms Simpson said. “The way we remain viable is to have good student numbers

and high levels of delivery.�

Bendigo Business Council chief executive officer Patrick Falconer said Bendigo TAFE’s reputation for high quality course delivery should make it the training institution of choice. “There has been an explosion in the increase of courses offered

by other organisations,� he said. “Bendigo maintains a high standard of education and would prefer to use TAFE, a trusted name in Bendigo.�

Mr Falconer stressed the need to maintain a strong TAFE to cope with planned growth in the city and region over the next 20 years. “TAFE has been around in many forms for over 100 years and will be around for another 100 years,â€? he said. CONTINUED Page 5 BUILDING TO EMPTY Page 5

BENDIGO Creek will receive much-needed repair works thanks to an agreement between the City of Greater Bendigo council and the State Government.

A report released in 2008 highlighted the problem areas, and how much it would cost to fix. The debate over who was responsible for the condition of

the urban section of the creek has been going on since then.

Meanwhile, some of the creek’s man-made sections have begun to disintegrate, causing erosion and looking unsightly.

Council Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said the government’s Department of Sustainability and Environment had given the council $840,000 next financial year to make the repairs.

“Council is extremely pleased about what the State Government is delivering,” he said.

“It has been difficult to determine who was responsible to do the work.

“There have been long discussions about who should pay.

“The state has determined it would like to pay to fix a significant amount of the problem areas.”

Mr Fuzzard said the problems were in the urban sections of the creek.

“We have highlighted the problem areas between Maple Street and Weeroona Avenue,” he said.

“This funding will deal the vast majority of really important sections.

“We are in the early stages of developing detailed designs for the work.”

Road upgrade priority

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THE upgrade of the Calder Freeway to Bendigo has had a positive impact on accident numbers, but major blackspots still make it one of the most dangerous roads in the state. “It really did surprise us, how much dividing the road reduced accidents, and that’s a good story,�

Calder Highway Improvement Committee chair Helen Relph said. “However, there is plenty more to be achieved including a number of accident black spots such as the Calder Alternative Highway and Calder Park Drive intersections.�

Cr Relph, a Mount Macedon Shire councillor, said “very scary footage� taken at the Calder Freeway and Alternative Highway inter-

TrafďŹ c increase causes more crashes at blackspots section at Ravenswood showed how dangerous it is. “It’s unbelievable what happens there, with trucks turning out into the path of traffic. “It’s absolutely bound to cause fatalities, it’s going to happen.â€?

Bendigo’s recent horror run of fatal accidents has put the spotlight on whether major roads are able to cope with the increasing volume of traffic in the growing region.

The Bendigo Road Transport Strategy draft report prepared in 2010 by VicRoads showed heavy volumes, closely spaced intersections and a variety of road users result in a high incidence of crashes.

That report recommended up-

grades to Bendigo’s arterial roads between Bendigo and Jackass Flat, Maiden Gully and Strathfieldsaye.

It suggested volume increase and resulting accidents on the western Calder Highway approach from Maiden Gully and on the Calder Highway between Golden Square and the Loddon Valley Highway could be alleviated by building four lanes along Chum Street.

That strategy, which was rejected by the City of Greater Bendigo council after public consultation, also forecasted a volume increase of 64 per cent on High Street at Kangaroo Flat, the southern entrance to Bendigo off the Calder Highway.

VicRoads crash statistics collated for the past five years, show the Calder Alternative HIghway to be one of the most dangerous roads in Northern Victoria. Eight crashes were recorded in the Bendigo-Maryborough Road intersection area.

The Ravenswood intersection recorded six serious crashes in the past five years, one of which was fatal.

The figures show an increase of incidents at that intersection, with none recorded in 2007 and 20088, one in 2009, three in 2010 and two last year. “The Calder Highway Improvement Committee has prioritised the areas of concern and that’s the

number one spot,� Cr Relph said. “We want to be sure the state sees the importance of it.

Road funding under the federal Nation-building scheme is allocated according to state priorities.

Cr Relph said projects over $100 million will be announced in August, with less expensive projects, such as the Calder Alternative interchange proposal, coming under scrutiny next. “We’ve said, when it’s something you can solve, it’s all about looking after people,� she said.

The Calder Highway Committee is currently seeking three community representatives for two-year appointments.

Information is available from Noel Shanahan at City of Greater Bendigo council on 5434 6381.

Murdered boy laid to rest

Nice and icy in the mall

THE family of the Long Gully infant murdered earlier this month has asked for privacy on the day of his funeral.

The boy has been named as Zayden Veal, and an image of him has been released.

His family, Casey, James, Matthew, Michelle and their families also released a statement yesterday. “We cannot convey the deep pain and overwhelming feelings of grief, sadness and sorrow at the loss of our beloved

child Zayden who was taken from us on the 15th of June,� the statement said. “We loved him deeply. We thank you for your concern and interest, but we also request that you allow us and our families time to grieve the loss of our beautiful child in privacy at this very emotional time.�

The funeral was held yesterday. The Bendigo Weekly chose to comply with the family’s privacy request and did not attend the funeral

GREAT SKATE: Rob Bayliss prepares for the temporary ice skating rink in Hargreaves Mall.

Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

IF you go down to the mall today you are sure of a big surprise.

Well, it’s more like this afternoon, but the surprise aspect is still relevant.

Later on today, the much anticipated ice rink will be set up in the mall, ready for the first day of the school holidays tomorrow.

The rink was supposed to

be ready for last holidays, but delays saw the idea put on ice for a term.

Locals can pop down to the mall during the next two weeks and pay $5 for a 20-minute session in the 10-metre-by-20-metre rink.

Sessions will run every half an hour and skates are supplied.

Rob Bayliss of the Central

Victorian Ice Sports and Entertainment group said they hoped the rink will promote the need for a more permanent facility in Bendigo. “We need to get the public and businesses interested, and maybe a private entity interested, to build a new rink,� he said. “The old rink in Golden Square is no more and can’t

be salvaged. “We are not going to council at this stage. “Private enterprise is the best way to build and run an ice rink.�

Plans for a new ice rink have been on the table for about a decade.

The City of Greater Bendigo council has refused to list it as a priority for the area.

All jobs at risk in bid to cut costs

TOUGH TIMES: TAFE CEO Maria Simpson.

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

Your TAFE Building empties out needs you From Page 1 “One of the main disadvantages in a regional city is attracting skilled labour to town.

“If we already have a trained workforce here it helps solve that shortage.”

Influential business and community leader Gordon McKern was a TAFE board member during the 1980s, at the time when Bendigo amalgamated with other campuses in the region.

“I can state, categorically, that every apprentice, every trainee, and every employer of them, should strongly insist on their training being done at, and by, our TAFE college, which has a deservedly high reputation,” he said.

“This is even more important at this time, as the major hospital project will engage so many of our local skilled tradespeople that we need to train more and more to be able to maintain manpower for other projects.”

Mr Hermens, whose company has partnered Bendigo TAFE to create traineeships at their new Innovation and Quality Centre, called on industry and government to back the institution.

“A strong vocational sector needs strong industry to support it and lots of communication and collaboration to remain relevant in its course offerings and in its delivery methods.

“All levels of government must recognise the need for a strong regional VET sector, and support it accordingly.”

THE high-ceilinged room surrounding the cupola of WC Vahland’s 1864 Mechanics Institute fronting McCrae Street will fall silent once more next month.

“I’ll be out of this building around July,” Bendigo TAFE chief executive officer Maria Simpson said this week.

“The senior management group will move out to Charleston Road, and the restaurant will be the only thing that stays functioning in this building.

“That will be one of the overhead costs we’ll seek to reduce.”

Ms Simpson said the maintenance costs for the heritage building, which Bendigo TAFE has owned since 1985, are high.

She dismissed suggestions, however, that the embattled institution would leave the site entirely.

“If we can consolidate out of large spaces into smaller spaces and save money, we will,” she said.

“If we were to sell something, there is an arrangement with government where you can use that money to reinvest in capital infrastructure, if that was a benefit, or we could look at leasing properties if that were possible to gain income sources through that.”

Bendigo TAFE was dealt another blow on top of cuts to course funding when the State Government removed maintenance subsidies.

Ms Simpson said she will discuss with both the state and local government the possibility of creating an education precinct on the historic site.

tion” before the fees and subsidy cuts announced in the state budget.

“We will work constantly with the government, and my intention is to find the best solution for our people,” she said.

“On our assessment on the funding arrangements for next year, we believe we have covered the costs.

“There are still a number of courses in the ‘do not meet their cost category’… we are open to working with staff between now and December to move as much of that into the ‘meets its cost’ category as we can.”

“That’s a thought I have, and I haven’t yet done anything to progress that actively,” she said.

“We have five or six significant buildings here and I certainly can’t see us moving out of all of those.”

Bendigo TAFE has three Bendigo campuses, including the new purpose-built BTEC in Myers Street.

It also manages campuses in Echuca, Castlemaine and Kyneton.

Ms Simpson said the changes will have “minimal impact” on the Kyneton campus because no classes are run out of that building, which is serviced by one part-time staff member.

STAFF at Bendigo TAFE have been warned all jobs are on the line, as the institution prepares for the tough new funding regime.

“People are going to have to work harder if we are going to have greater productivity,” chief executive officer Maria Simpson said this week.

“I believe in the commitment of the people here and I’m sure they’ll work with us to do that.”

Ms Simpson met with staff on Monday to announce the immediate reduction of staff and the closure of courses.

Thirty-nine “non-viable” courses, including certificates in business administration, retail and finance, will cease enrolments.

Some will close immediately, most from 2013.

Ms Simpson said the courses targeted have had low student numbers or have been too expensive to run.

She said the TAFE is working to “transition” any students currently enrolled to courses in other institutions.

Twenty-five staff have been made redundant from July. Positions include management and support staff as well as teachers.

Ms Simpson said a further 75 positions are likely to go before the end of the year.

Bendigo TAFE’s announcements follow similar reports out of TAFEs around the state in response to funding cuts.

The full-year impact on Bendigo TAFE’s operations are estimated at $9 million or a quarter of the institution’s income.

Ms Simpson said Bendigo TAFE was already in a “difficult budgetary posi-

ST LUKE’S chief executive officer Dave Pugh has labelled Federal Parliament’s Question Time a disgrace after witnessing a session last week.

Mr Pugh was part of a group of 20 Anglicare CEOs who met in Canberra and held meetings with MPs from both sides.

He was full of praise for most of them, although in a blog he labelled Opposition Shadow Minister Kevin Andrews’ views on some issues “interesting but worrying”.

Mr Pugh took time out to watch Question Time and said he would never do

it again.

“Question Time was such a contrast to the thoughtful-

That’s one hour of my life I’ll never get back ness and humanity of the individuals we met,” he said.

“It was a charade and a spectacle unfitting for serious leadership and a disgrace.

“I was embarrassed to be in there. As I said to a colleague, ‘that’s one hour of my life I’ll never get back’.

“Apart from the few lead actors spending their time throwing barbs, all other parliamentarians spent their time distracted on ipads or smartphones or chatting to each other.

“Surely we can do better as a nation and spend precious parliamentary time more productively.

“I’m never going to Question Time again.”

Turning point for energy cost On Sunday, the carbon tax comes into being. Is this the right way ahead for Australia? peter wiseman

NO

year 2000 by 2020 and to 80 per cent below 2000 levels by 2050 to “save the planet”. even if this is achieved, it will be a futile gesture.

If australia completely stopped producing CO2 from sunday, there’d be no change in global temperatures.

Our CO2 reduction will be swallowed up in a few days by China’s increasing billions of tonnes of CO2 emitted each year. an audit of China’s emissions revealed it understates its total CO2 emissions by 20 per cent each year – an amount equal to Japan’s total

annual emissions. a staggering discovery which means labor and the Greens’ tax is truly complete nonsense.

The tax will destroy the last remaining advantage our manufacturing sector gains from our cheap reliable coal-fired power, even as our international competitors are pouring cash into coal and gas fired power generation.

Germany is building 17 new coal-burning and 29 new gas-fired power stations, including a giant 2100MW brown coal plant.

China is building more coalfired plants every week, including

This money goes to people as tax cuts and assistance payments, protecting the environment and investment in clean energy. as individuals we can put the compensation towards energy efficiency and household solar, reducing our power bill and saving quite a bit of money annually. lots of people are already doing this. like Tony from Castlemaine, who after retrofitting his house now has a quarterly electricity bill under $12.

You can see more examples at refit ‘n’ save (http://refitnsave. org.au/) and Goldfields solarhub (http://www.goldfieldssolarhub.org. au/about/).

In terms of business, the carbon tax has been talked about for quite a while, and many companies are already responding. a recent analysis by Ge’s economist Intelligence Unit in a survey of 136 senior australian business executives showed that almost three quarters of businesses already have a carbon reduction strategy in place. Of the firms directly affect-

ed by carbon pricing 85 per cent have a carbon reduction strategy in place and more than half have set up dedicated roles or teams to identify greater energy efficiency measures internally.

There are a lot of opportunities for businesses in our region to take advantage of the new energy challenge. like the $700,000 energy efficiency Program Grant that the Central Victorian Greenhouse alliance just received from the australian Government to help small and medium enterprises improve energy efficiency in our region or the government’s $1.2 billion Clean Technology Program that has been set up to help directly improve energy efficiency in manufacturing industries and support research and development in low pollution technologies.

There are many opportunities for our local economy to benefit.

We don’t have many fossil fuel jobs in our region. There are a lot of power losses between loyang and here.

If we’re smart about it, the Clean energy Fund can stimulate local renewable energy generation and therefore the local economy.

There are opportunities for farmers through a Carbon Farming Initiative that will provide new economic rewards for farmers and landholders that take steps to reduce carbon pollution and grant opportunities for local councils and community organisations to retrofit or upgrade community-use facilities.

Not to mention the potential benefits to local production or the long-term health and environmental benefits for our region. so is taking up this challenge worth it for our region? absolutely it is.

The introduction of the carbon price is just the beginning of a much greater shift to a new energy era that is already happening all over the world. let’s take up the opportunities on offer and really make the challenge worth our while.

Husband, father, member of the Central Victorian community and candidate for Liberal party preselection.

Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, tells of a boy forced to plead to a magistrate to save himself from what was a very dirty and dangerous job in 17th century london – cleaning soot from the city’s carbon-encrusted chimneys.

That’s right, soot is carbon, a black, non-metallic solid, standing at number six in the periodic table.

But it’s not black carbon which is the focus of the punishing tax dumped on all australians on sunday.

The so-called carbon tax is actually a tax on a colourless, odourless, incombustible gas exhaled by animals and used by plants in photosynthesis called carbon dioxide.

Despite vast evidence to the contrary, pushers of this dishonestly named tax claim CO2 emitted by human activities is warming the planet like never before.

But these are false claims and provably so by modern climate science observations. at the last election, Ms Gillard said: “There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead”. she knew there was a great deal of scepticism in australia about the

karen corr

YES

benefits of taxing CO2 and the electorate would rightly see such a tax as just another money grab.

But her ruse was successful and immediately after the election the labor/Greens alliance announced plans to impose a punishing new tax on CO2 emissions. labor hopes its tax will rapidly increase the price of electricity, making it too expensive to use regardless of the damage to our economy and household budgets.

By making electricity unaffordable for many, labor aims to reduce australia’s emissions to five per cent below their level in the

the world’s largest black-coal fired power-station with an enormous 8000MW output.

That’s about half of the power to run the entire east coast of australia.

Victoria’s power companies have already announced a 14 per cent hike in our electricity bills from July 1 because of the tax.

This will force up the cost of food, transport, water and sewerage, education, sport, clothing and even a night out in Bendigo’s proposed new theatre. even the price of bricks has gone up thousands of dollars per house, making a first home an even more distant dream for our kids. and that’s before factoring in the price increases caused by the CO2 tax on glass, steel, aluminium, roofing tiles and concrete. as sunday’s tax looms ever closer, we can only wonder how many more of our community’s most vulnerable people will be tipped over the edge into energy poverty and be forced to live in cold homes, which will have a devastating impact on their health. all for no benefit to our environment.

Charles Dickens was not just a novelist, he also worked as a journalist and social commentator often challenging hypocrisy, corruption, oppression and inequality – he’d have rich pickings among the words uttered by today’s labor Greens’ alliance.

Make a Change australia executive director and Central Victorian Greenhouse alliance chairman.

The introduction of the carbon price is the beginning of a new and much needed era. like anything new, there is a lot of fear and trepidation about it. and that’s understandable, this new era is going to require us to change the way we use energy. For some that will be a challenge, others are already well and truly heading in that direction and reaping the benefits.

Our region can benefit greatly if we take up the challenge, and here’s how.

The carbon price, which is one part of the Federal Government’s Clean energy Future package, requires the top 294 most energy intensive organisations in australia to pay $23 per tonne of carbon pollution.

BENDIGO Health has added another chapter into a wonderful story that began 12 years ago.

In 2000, a group of community-minded people, who had themselves travelled and received radiotherapy treatment for cancer in Melbourne, started Raise the Roof.

Dick Hazeldene and Lola Miller acted as patrons of the inaugural Raise the Roof group and rallied the support of the community to raise enough funds to buy six accommodation units in Nolan Street.

The aim of Raise the Roof was to offer accommodation in Bendigo rather than expecting patients to travel and stay in Melbourne.

The project was an instant success and patients from throughout the Loddon Mallee region were able to access low-cost home-like accommodation while they received up to six weeks of cancer treatment.

In 2007, State Government funding allowed for the purchase of additional cancer treatment equipment, meaning more patients could be treated for cancer at Bendigo Health.

However, this increase created a shortfall of accommodation to cope with the number of patients being treated, so the Raise the Roof appeal was relaunched.

Through the many donations of both cash and services, six accommodation units in Lucan Street were purchased and refurbished to meet the demands.

Many supporters helped with the project including Jimmy Possum who fully furnished the six units.

In 2011, with a further expansion of cancer and cancer related services, the Bendigo Health Foundation started to explore further Raise the Roof opportunities to build additional accommodation units.

This time the former Anchorage Apartments came on the market and it was decided to purchase the property and create seven more apartments.

The new apartments were opened this week.

The foundation is currently paying off this property and any donations are gratefully received by the Raise the Roof fund.

To donate, contact 5454 9174 or visit www. bhfoundation.org.au.

Bendigo sets pace BENDIGO has defied the national trend in attracting local tourists.

“Bendigo is an anomaly in terms of national tourism figures,” National Senator for Victoria Bridget McKenzie said last week.

“Last year, Australians spent 132 million nights abroad, pumping billions of dollars into overseas economies.

“A decade ago Australia made a $3 billion profit nationally from tourism and today we are making a trade loss of around $8 billion.”

Senator McKenzie told the Sen-

ate in Canberra that the Grace Kelly: Style Icon exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery was one of Australia’s most successful tourism events.

“It has been a massive economic boost for Bendigo,” she said.

“It has lifted Bendigo’s profile across the country and has given us credibility nationally.

“It is a cultural investment that will be long term.”

Senator McKenzie said the success of the exhibition should encourage regional Australia to build capacity in cultural tourism.

“It is critical, particularly after much of regional Victoria has been

affected by drought, fire or floods, that a focus on tourism is ongoing, coordinated and well supported.

“Traditionally, though Bendigo has been known as Australia’s premier goldfields heritage region, the added success of the Bendigo Art Gallery clearly demonstrates the improving tourism experience and increased consumer demand for regional tourism.”

Senator McKenzie said this also highlighted the need for skilled workers in the cultural sector.

She said developing cultural assets is crucial to liveability in regional Australia.

“The parking spaces are also quite generous in size, which is not com-

mon among most facilities like this.”

The building is also energy efficient, highlighted by the lights on each level only being operational when they sense movement.

The external works on the building, on the corner of Edward and Queen and King streets, will be completed on July 15, the day after which State Trustees will commence operation below the carpark.

Mr. Liacos also said that the space below the building on the corner of Queen and Edward streets will likely house a restaurant or cafe.

“We are very close in talks with a hospitality organisation to see them move into that space, which would be another plus.”

BENDIGO’S new multistorey carpark will open on Wednesday, July 25, under budget and almost a month early.

The four-storey facility, which has affectionately been dubbed “The Cheese Grater” by some Bendigonians, will consist of 420 parking spaces including 100 permanent parks.

Perhaps the biggest draw-card of the brand new structure is the fact that is will be free for one and a half hours, with charges only applying for time thereafter.

Council City Futures director Stan Liacos said the building, which liberally features perforated metal, is designed to give users a sense of the out-

BendigoWeekly Take the plunge with a check up

By STEVE KENDALL

LAST week I wrote a column in the Weekly about heading off for the prostate exam.

It was light-hearted for the sake of the column, but in reality itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something all men should be aware of.

The Better Health Channel tells us around 25 per cent of men aged 55 years and over have a prostatic condition.

This increases to 50 per cent by the age of 70 years.

Every man past the age of 50 should discuss having his prostate gland checked every year by his doctor.

For those men with a family history or particular concerns, this discussion should be considered around the age of 40.

What does it do, what does it look like?

Over to the Better Health Channel again.

The prostate gland is an organ of the male reproductive system.

It is shaped like a walnut and is found at the base of the bladder.

The thin tube that allows urine and semen to pass out of the penis (urethra) runs through the prostate gland.

The three most common forms of prostate disease are non-cancerous enlargement, inflammation and cancer.

In its earliest stages, prostate disease may or may not be associated with symptoms.

The symptoms of prostate disease also depend on the condition, but may include: Difficulties urinating, such as trouble starting the flow of urine, the urge to urinate often, particularly at night.

Feeling like the bladder canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fully emptied, and painful urination.

Now with all of those facts to hand, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth putting up with a few seconds of discomfort to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the safe side.

I took the plunge last week as a matter of course as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 51.

The doctor did the examination in a matter of fact way, and explained it all.

So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 50 or more, or 40 plus in a family with the disease, take the check.

If you are aware of any of the symptoms mentioned, even more reason.

Your GP or specialist has done hundreds of the examinations, and will think nothing of it.

Facts from www.betterhealth.vic.gov. au.

Bendigo Weekly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday, June 29, 2012

www.betterhealthclub.com.au

Health for men MEN should have regular health checks, but they are well-known for finding any excuse not to go to see their doctor.

Regular medical checkups help you stay healthy and may pick up early warning signs of disease or illness.

Heart disease, diabetes and some cancers can often be picked up in their early stages, when treatment may be more successful.

When you have a health check, your doctor will talk to you about your medical history, your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of disease and your lifestyle.

Your diet, weight, how much you exercise and whether or not you smoke will also be discussed.

If you have high-risk factors, such as a family history of a disease, it may be more likely that you will develop a particular disease.

Regular check-ups may help your doctor pick up early warning signs. For example, high blood pressure may be an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease.

Health checks and staying well should be part of your regular routine. This will help you stay healthy and pick up potential problems early.

Things you can do at home include: â&#x20AC;˘ Skin checks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you should check your skin for unusual moles or freckles.

See your doctor if you notice anything unusual. Men at high risk need a yearly examination by their doctor or dermatologist. â&#x20AC;˘ Dental care â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can reduce your risk of tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss if you clean your teeth regularly and eat a low-sugar diet. Visit the dentist at least once a year for a dental examination and a professional cleaning.

Integrated Smiles celebrates their 2 year anniversary and would like to thank their patients for supporting them.

â&#x20AC;˘ Testicle checks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from puberty onwards, you should check regularly for unusual thickenings or

New Patients Welcome

Phone: 5443 5631 6 McIvor Road, Bendigo www.integratedsmiles.com

Health checks for heart disease may include: â&#x20AC;˘ Blood pressure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have your blood pressure checked every two years if your blood pressure is normal, you are aged under 40 years, and there is no family history of high blood pressure.

Have it checked yearly if you are over 40, your blood pressure is on the high side or you have a personal or family history of high blood pressure, stroke or heart attack. Be advised by your doctor. â&#x20AC;˘ Blood tests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these check cholesterol levels and blood triglycerides, among other things. High levels may indicate an increased risk of various health problems including heart disease.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over 45, you should have these blood tests once every five years. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at high risk of cardiovascular disease and have a family history, you should be tested every year from the age of 40. â&#x20AC;˘ Obesity tests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; being overweight is a significant risk factor for many health conditions, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Ask your doctor to check your body mass index and waist measurement every two years if you are aged under 40 years. If you are older than 40, you should have your weight checked annually. â&#x20AC;˘ Diabetes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tests for diabetes include a fasting blood sugar level test, which measures the amount of glucose in the blood after you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eaten for a while.

Depending on your risk level, you will need to be tested annually or once every three years.

Karen’s on to a social success BENDIGO’S Karen Corr has been named Melbourne Social Entrepreneur of the Year by the School for Social Entrepreneurs.

Ms Corr was recognised for her Make a Change Australia social enterprise which provides training and support for local people to create effective social and environmental change in their communities.

The judges said Ms Corr represents a new breed of entrepreneur who is motivated by a community need rather than a desire to make money.

After moving to Bendigo following a career in corporate consulting, she found herself involved in numerous community sustainability initiatives and immediately identified a role for herself.

“There is so much potential and interest in our communities from people eager to get involved in local change-making such as events, campaigns and fundraisers but there is a lack of accessible training and support for these people to assist them to achieve their goals,” she said.

“Make a Change provides workshops, programs, project services, networking opportuni-

ball Club, Bendigo Bank Academy of Sport, Bendigo Pioneers Football Club, Bendigo Rugby Union Football Club, Epsom Football Club – and four other community groups that include Loddon Mallee Lighting, Bendigo Amateur Soccer League, Epsom Tennis Club and Football Federation Victoria.

Mr Delahunty said the new pavilion includes seven new change rooms, one of which is purposebuilt to assist people with disabilities “These facilities can better accommodate a broader range of local initiatives from umpire training, to player development,” he said.

“They enable clubs to cater for more community members, especially the increasing numbers of juniors, females and people with disabilities wanting to get involved.

“For example, multiple change rooms with accessible amenities give local sports like rugby, football, soccer, cricket, tennis, and netball the chance to expand their teams, grow memberships and build on local competition.”

Our Goldfields Region will be the centre of attention in Melbourne’s Federation Square next year thanks to a new partnership between the Victorian Coalition Government through Tourism Victoria and Federation Square.

The initiative will see Victoria’s regions broadcast to Melburnians and visitors four times a day from this month. The videos will focus on a different Tourism Victoria campaign region each month, and will be shown across both Federation Square’s Big Screen and The Atrium.

The video featuring the Goldfields will be shown at Federation Square during April 2013.

Federation Square received more than two million visitors last year alone, making it the most visited attraction in Melbourne and presenting a fantastic opportunity to connect with interstate and international visitors and increase awareness of regional Victorian destinations.

The State Government’s commitment to regional tourism includes helping all our regions take part in growing the state’s $15.3 billion tourism industry.

Our Goldfields region, taking in Bendigo, Castlemaine, Maldon, Inglewood and adjacent towns and communities have a unique place in Victorian tourism. The region was the economic engine-house for the whole state a century ago, and it still generates great wealth in terms of tourism dollars now.

The latest International Visitor Survey for the year to March 2012 shows international visitors $355 million in regional Victoria - up by almost 20 per cent. Domestic visitor expenditure in regional Victoria increased 2.5 per cent to $4.5 billion in the year to March 2012.

Making waves Bendigo Ben Jones and Weekly with ...

Anthony Radford

Ben – It’s the local you know, 3BO, and for possibly the last time I am speaking with Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford. We are going to start with Bendigo’s amazing ability to put on large sporting events. Last night more than 2000 people were courtside to watch the Australian Opals defeat Brazil and our very own Kristi Harrower play game number 200. A fantastic atmosphere from all reports.

Anthony – It certainly was Jonesy. You are right in that Bendigo once again shone, and a special congrats should go to the stadium management and the organisers.

It is a great facility up there and to me shows why they need to gain approval for their redevelopment. If we had a large showcourt, as they are suggesting, it would enable the facility, and the city, to take that next large step forward.

Ben – It leads us to another big event that hits off in a couple of weeks, the Australian Goldfield’s Open snooker tournament.

Last year it was absolutely fantastic and it showcases Central Victoria as it is broadcast across to about 60 countries across the world.

Anthony – Well, from one very, very strenuous sport to one that isn’t. In all seriousness it is a great event and the name Bendigo is broadcast everywhere, especially Europe. Once again, this is the sort of stuff that puts Bendigo on the map.

Ben – Let’s shift to something different, a negative unfortunately. TAFE job cuts have been announced. Some 100 jobs set to go from Bendigo TAFE. A bit of political argy bargy today with Maree Edwards blaming Damien Drum and his government for these cuts.

Anthony – Labor is not totally blameless for this, having changed TAFE funding and making it harder for some to go to TAFE, but all up this is bad news for Bendigo.

Ben – Radders, we are putting Making Waves to bed for a little while, but we thank you for your contribution over the past few years. It has been greatly appreciated.

Anthony – Cheers Ben. I was saying the other day you would struggle to find anyone that knows more about Bendigo news and what locals want to know and discuss than you, Cogho and me, so hopefully those who made this decision can re-think it for the betterment of the community.

Buda Historic Home & Garden in Castlemaine has enjoyed a higher than usual number of visitors over the past few months and we know that this is partly due to the recent Grace Kelly Icon Exhibition.

Buda was fortunate to have two exhibitions during the same period and visitors stopped over in Castlemaine on their way to Bendigo or return home making the most of their time in Central Victoria. It was such a positive experience that we feel confident that they will return again in the future.

Please be assured that your efforts are bringing much benefit to the whole of Central Victoria.

Figures wrong on electricity claims I WOULD like to comment on Peter Wiseman’s rhetoric regarding his electricity charges and how much he claims they are about to rise.

Firstly Mr Wiseman, for your electricity charges to rise $450 per annum at a rate of 14 per cent you have to have a bill of $803.57 per quarter, or $3214.28 per annum.

These calculations, and adding $450 per annum bring your use per annum to $3664.28, which on my personal usage would last me four or five years.

You claim your daily use will rise from $8.80 per day, to $10.039 per day or an increase of $1.239 per day.

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

Just to enlighten you, my electricity provider has increased its rate by 8.6 per cent, just 60.185 per cent of your suppliers charge, and I have negotiated a 13 per cent discount, with my usage $2.19 per day, or $800 per annum, and the Carbon pricing adding just 18.8 cents per day, far less than your quoted example.

Sounds like someone angling for a political career.

Obligation to ratepayers BENDIGO council’s intentions to extend the contract of the current CEO, Craig Niemann, for a full period without the position being advertised externally has shocked many ratepayers and residents. Why?

Firstly, should current councillors whose term expires in October, make such a momentous decision?

For if formalised, newly elected councillors will have virtually no options in regards to the CEO’s contract during their term.

The decision not to advertise externally is deplorable.

There was, and still is, ample time.

Considering its income, expenditure and number of staff employed, Bendigo council should have an obligation to ratepayers and residents to ensure the CEO at the helm is the best available for the job.

Such can only be achieved by advertising externally.

This may result in a new CEO with a proven record of strong management who can cut costs, reduce staff where appropriate and get rid of dead wood.

Also instigate a review of council’s performance as the recently appointed CEO of Shepparton council has.

Many defects were revealed and major reforms are now being planned.

Since 2005, Bendigo council has failed to contain staff growth and costs.

Similarly annual rate increases have consistently been above the CPI. Is this sound management?

With the current CEO’s contract expiring close to the October elections, the sensible action by present councillors would be to re-appoint for 12 months, and allow the newly elected Council to determine its own pathway to appointment of a CEO. I suggest readers advise all councillors accordingly.

throwaways, the papers that had little real news content in them, never broke stories and were thrown over the front fence or put in mail boxes.

There is an army of local free papers that have a business model in stark contrast to those collapsing all around the world.

While it could be true that the fate of the Fairfax and News Ltd metro papers eventually spreads to their country cousins because they are the same business model, there is no evidence to suggest the free model is on the way out.

In Bendigo, Mildura, Shepparton, Albury-Wodonga, Horsham and Geelong, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;freebiesâ&#x20AC;? are making a big splash.

The free papers in those cities are no longer, in most cases, wall to wall ads separated by advertorials.

The Bendigo Weekly has won a Walkley, a Quill Award and been a Walkley finalist twice.

The Mildura Weekly and Bendigo Weekly also regularly win Victorian Country Press Awards for their journalism and photography.

As well as taking it up to their big daily rivals editorially, the papers are also a threat financially.

No better was that demonstrated when the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily regional papers offered a national advertiser a $200,000 discount if they advertised exclusively with them, leaving the smaller weekly papers out of it.

As well as journalism that bites, these papers attract readers, in some cases more in one edition than their

Shop 7, Centreway Arcade, Bendigo (Off Killianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk)

Editorial Comment

daily counterpart has in six, and, in turn, display ads, at a rapid rate.

This is where the business model stands out. From the day of their birth, these papers survived without classifieds.

They could not compete with the ingrained habits of more than 100 years of hatches, matches and dispatches so, generally, they did not rely on them for too much income.

They were forced to rely on and grow their display ads, something the internet canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete with, not for income anyway.

Never before has the free model been stronger, and never before has the climate been better to grow them.

Editorially, the web is a Godsend for these papers.

It allows them to break stories at the same time, on the same medium as their better-funded daily rivals.

It allows them to run a lot more stories a week than they could squeeze in their papers, and allows for the big perishable news stories of the day (the ones that everyone has), to be written, read, analysed and commented on up to 24 hours before they come out in the daily paid paper.

The suggestion cannot be ignored that such circumstances eat into the circulation of daily papers.

That is enhanced if the free paper ups its web content and breaks stories online, putting pressure back on dailies to release more content online, free.

While the media landscape across the country is changing, the effects will take longer to be felt in regional Victoria, and in Bendigo.

However, once they are felt, it will be the free papers left standing at the end of the day, healthier than ever.

TALK of the death of newspapers is out of control and seemingly working towards a doomsday mentality.

Moreover, it is being pushed by commentators who have little knowledge of the media landscape in regional Australia and Victoria, and no clue about a newspaper business model that is going from strength to strength.

Firstly, the lack of fast and cheap internet over the years has made it almost impossible for news on the web to penetrate regional Australia as well as it has the USA. Couple that with the socio-economic environment and affordability of both hardware, and issues of access arise.

Secondly, regional papers are both profitable and a real part of the community.

Fairfaxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional papers made an $89m profit for the first half of the current financial year, down slightly on the first half of the year before.

These regional papers, and others owned by News Ltd, had a big advantage by being the only papers in the town or city and having the local real estate and jobs market sewn up.

They are also successful because they listen to, and are a big part of, their community.

They know what is important to their readers and they give them what they want.

Metropolitan papers have, it seems, tried to either mirror the web or ignore it, rather than give the browsers the type of news they want, and not give hardcopy readers something the web canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give â&#x20AC;&#x201C; detail and analysis of uber-local issues.

Newspaper readers want, need and desire local relevant content, not necessarily international features or celebrity (or pet) photos.

If you want that, the web has that in droves.

Regional journalists and photographers already work across both the web and the paper, something metro mastheads are only just realising now as important.

Thirdly, there is a business model in suburban and regional areas that is working, is making money, is sustainable and is in no way threatened by the internet or the theory that news is no longer free.

They used to be called the local

FOODfossickers Nosh for the winter BENDIGO will be treated to a number of ewe-nique midwinter foodie events in July, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few to ruminate on.

Selected local restaurants will include their chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature lamb dish as part of their menu during the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show from July 14 to 22.

1. Writers festivals are as much about readers and writers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see an apostrophe in the title.

And when we say readers, that means everyone, from those who avidly borrow a stack of library books every month, to those whose reading consists of skimming Twitter. Seriously!

We are all part of a community and reading is one of the glues that bind us. A writers festival is a chance to keep that glue strong and fresh.

2. Our writers festival is, as they say in the glossy brochures, very affordable.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll figure this out for yourself, but what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find is that a festival pass, bought online or at the Capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box office, will make it very easy to pick and choose what sessions you want to attend, and, if you are really keen, you could do 15 sessions for your $40/$35 pass. But if you only want to go to one session, you can do that too.

There are a few keynote sessions in the Capital main theatre only available as single tickets, at $12/$10 which can be booked also via the Capital

or the festival website, and a couple of others that are outside the main program and booked at the venues.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to make it very simple, so we hope you find it so.

3. Writers are about as different as children and cats. And, like children and cats, they are wonderful. What this festival is about is providing a relaxed gathering space, where writers can come together to talk about their own writing, meet readers, swap ideas and have a good time. The writers heading to Bendigo, and our own locals who are part of this first festival, are being generous with their time and their expertise, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to make their visit to Bendigo very enjoyable.

4. Yes, you will be able to buy books at the festival. Dymocks Bendigo will be setting up a bookshop for the weekend. Stay tuned for more information on that one.

5. On Friday August 10, the schools day and the first day of the festival, there will be volunteers on hand in the Capital foyer to answer any of your questions and provide information about the sessions coming up across the weekend.

Weight loss with a difference or stop smoking in one hour The Virtual Gastric Band program is a hypnotic program conducted over four weekly sessions. In the first session the participant believes they have undergone bariatric surgery to reduce the stomach to the size of a golf ball. This is followed by three further sessions which deal with the psychological triggers to eating.

The hypnotherapy is like â&#x20AC;&#x153;flicking a switch in the brainâ&#x20AC;?, turning off the food cravings and eating only much smaller amounts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a diet, and there is nothing magical or mystical about hypnotherapy, instead it is a method that enables a person to help themselves. The sessions are conducted on a one to one basis and are personalised for the individual.

The four sessions are designed to bring about a permanent change in a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eating habits. It creates new habits to get them where they want to be and to enable them to remain there. The program also includes personalised support CDs. The CDs are designed to reinforce the new message that will bring about permanent change in eating behaviour. The Virtual Gastric Band Program will be run in Bendigo during the month of July. Only a small number of places are available.

RESULTS - MOUNT GAMBIER The Virtual Gastric Band program was run in Mount Gambier last month and had 14 people go through the program. All 14 people who went through the program had a positive result. The total combined weight loss after just three weeks was an impressive 75kg, and the total combined number of centimetres lost was a remarkable 280cm. The weight loss journey has just commenced for these 14 people and no doubt their weight loss will become greater as The Virtual Gastric Band continues to work for them.

For more information please call 1300 116 117 or visit www.hypnoticweightloss.com.au.

Clinical hypnotherapist Angelo Sette is also running Stop Smoking in One Hour sessions. These sessions will be held in Bendigo during the month of July. Most people do not experience any cravings or withdrawal symptoms from this drug and chemical free, natural solution that is devoid of side affects.

Chicken dish a top taste test THINGS certainly were hot at Bendigo TAFE this week, and for hospitality students there was a lot of added spice.

About 15 students took part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Masterchef style cook at the TAFE on Tuesday.

The students sharpened their knives to plate up the best dish using chicken as their core ingredient.

Hospitality teacher Greg Broom said students were challenged to bone a whole Hazeldeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free

range chicken and use an additional 15 ingredients from the pantry to cook and plate up two identical dishes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event allows students the opportunity to showcase their culinary personality and flair to produce a stand-out chicken dish,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an iconic local industry supplier, it is great kudos to have Hazeldeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support the competition.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Broom said the students studying Certificate

Four in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery) will qualify as chef after 12 months with the course structured around industry skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This course provides students with the skills and knowledge to be competent in the operation, supervision or management of others within a hospitality environment,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Chef Mynette Richardson of CafĂŠ Essence was guest judge, who named Kanlavee â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ozzieâ&#x20AC;? Sudharm as the winner.

Hard to contain myself

Women can have their fancy haircuts and multiple pairs of shoes, but when it comes down to it men just love storage for their toys STEVE KENDALL

MEN and women are so different.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most obvious statements I have ever used, I know.

Men and women find pleasure from different things.

Not so much Men are from Mars Women are from Venus, more like Men are from the Milky Way, Women are from Andromeda.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot further if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not up with your galaxies.

Take the simple things in life (this is where women say â&#x20AC;&#x153;menâ&#x20AC;?).

I needed some storage, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the expense of a shed.

The answer, as all men will know, is a shipping container. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you want one of those for,â&#x20AC;? the long-suffering Mrs Kendall said with feeling.

I have tried to get one for near on five years, even suggesting the 20-footer for starters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? Mrs K said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are ugly.â&#x20AC;?

No room for discussion on that one then.

Thing is, we have

ON LIFE

bought a larger block of land now, and found Mrs K needed most of the shed for her own uses.

With the stealth that would be admired by any military tactician I suggested a shipping container would cover my needs.

Mrs K weighed up the thought of all the extra stuff she could put in the shed if my rubbish wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there and cracked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suppose so,â&#x20AC;? she said, before thinking more about where everything was going to fit in her new shed.

The good thing about containers is the 40-foot beasts are only a little bit more costly than a 20-footer.

Value for money works with Mrs K too.

I left the quote hanging around for a couple of weeks and then with timing of the building of the shed getting closer, we realised it would be easier to position the container early.

So, last week clutching my credit card I bought

(]HPSHISL MVY HKVW[PVU

E`^^j 7cZek

MY container.

It arrived on a big truck and Mrs K had to help the driver find where to place it.

The first call I got was a bit of a suprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maroon,â&#x20AC;? Mrs K said, as if colour mattered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in the gate,â&#x20AC;? was the second and more important fact.

Of course I shared the truck driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence it

would fit, and I was given a blow-by-blow account of the horrors of blocked roads and jack-knifed trucks.

Never mind, the container is sitting on its concrete pads, and all is well with the world.

Opening it and wandering around was a joy, I noticed Mrs K had a bit of interest too once she saw inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can fit some of my

stuff in here,â&#x20AC;? she said, eyeing up the spacious interior.

Thankfully I ordered an extra lock box on the doors, so I should be safe from being cluttered out with lamb feed, hay and horse fittings.

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff only will go in MY container.

Got to be a bit careful though, I think madam noticed it was roomy enough for quite a few things not

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sthis?

necessarily to my wellbeing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can put a bed in here if you like it that much,â&#x20AC;?

Mrs K said, with her mind on an undisturbed night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not safe,â&#x20AC;? I said, while quickly thinking of an answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suffocate.â&#x20AC;?

I saw Mrs K weigh up the pros and cons, and think she came down on not letting me expire due to lack of air.

But only just.

PROGRAM ...................................................................................................................................................

10-12 AUGUST 2012

.................................................................................................................................................

Bendigo Writers Festival, launched in this National Year of Reading, is an event which celebrates all kinds of writing, for all kinds of readers.

Planning for this inaugural event involved Goldfields Library Corporation CEO Carolyn Macvean and Bendigo Tourism’s Kathryn Mackenzie, and began with discussions about how it’s a perfect time for Bendigo, our city of more than 100,000 people in the heart of regional Victoria, to host a threeday festival of interviews, forums, performances, readings and workshops.

We talked about how the Capital, a glorious heritage building with a suite of lovely spaces, is just right

for a writers and readers talk-fest.

With the blessing of the City of Greater Bendigo’s director of City Futures, Stan Liacos, and councillor Rod Fyffe who put up his hand to become the Festival’s chairman, the Capital became host and presenter of Bendigo Writers Festival.

Without the vision of the Capital’s director, David Lloyd, the idea would never have become reality.

The Capital’s marketing director, Jacoba Kelly, has been instrumental in managing the festival as it took shape.

La Trobe University’s Sue Gillett and Sarah Mayor Cox joined in to help program our festival. Their optimism and expertise are invaluable.

The involvement of writers Di Dempsey and John Charalambous, Dawn Rasmussen from Bendigo Writers Council, and Ian Irvine from Bendigo TAFE has also been crucial, as we gradually joined all the dots to make the picture come together.

Bendigo TAFE has shown courage in tough times, backing the excellence of their writing courses with an investment in the future.

And Telstra Business Centres Bendigo are backing some of the most important people in town – our volunteers, who will be there to help our program run smoothly.

(We hope you forgive the inevitable hiccups.)

The Wheeler Centre in Mel-

BendigoWeekly www.bendigoweekly.com.au

bourne has also invested in our part of Victoria, and we are grateful for their interest and support.

Bendigo Weekly – Bendigo’s independent community newspaper – is proud to be behind Bendigo Writers Festival.

We think Bendigo is one of the finest places to live in the world, a small city with a big heart, an intriguing history, and increasingly good food and wine.

It’s so good, you could write a book about it.

Or create a festival within it...

Bendigo Writers Festival. We hope you can join us and be part of it. We promise you will be very welcome.

Lucie’s on the road again

ROD GREGORY

Old Fella is a real joker

LUCIE THORN

By STEVE KENDALL

LUCIE THORNE grew up in northern Tasmania, the daughter of a poet father and music-loving mother.

Like so many of her craft, Lucie and her sister entertained the family with “absurdly elaborate shows”.

After relocating to Melbourne for several years, Lucie is now based in the tiny locality of Bimbaya, poulation four, on the edge of the Bega Valley on the far south coast of NSW. It’s here in an old wooden cottage by the Tantawangalo Creek that Lucie spends some precious down-time between tours, and where I spoke to her this week.

Lucie is heading off on tour again, though she does not quite make it to Bendigo, she does stop by on July 8 for an intimate 4pm concert in Maldon’s Penny School Gallery Café.

“I tour a lot,” Lucie said.

“I travel all around the country and do a lot of regional touring, but I am rather fond of Central Victoria. I have not played in Maldon before, but I have in done shows in Bendigo and Castlemaine and Campbells Creek.

“It’s a pretty friendly audience.”

When pushed to comment on the danger of be-

Lucie has a large back catalogue to draw from, with six albums under her belt, so she can mix it up a bit, and even admits to being quite playful.

Being on the road would be hard for some, but not Lucie.

“I’m certainly drawn to it, in a similar way I’m drawn to write songs and record them.

“There is a part of me that’s a real hermit, so I do

she tried a few things before settling in the business full time, albeit slightly precariously.

“It’s a pretty marginal business,” she said.

“I won’t pretend otherwise, but I do feel really lucky that I’m in this situation where I haven’t done any other work since the last two records came out.

“Just playing shows and selling records.”

In the course of our

Touring is a hyper-social way of life really, I love meeting new folks and moving around and playing shows ing in the rut of touring, Lucie is fast to respond.

“I never get sick of it,” she said.

“I guess that means I am in the right job.

“Even if there are just a couple of people in the audience who haven’t seen the show that gives it a freshness. I get a lot of energy back from an audience.”

What’s on...

Friday, June 29 Blue Hour Tapas and wine get together at the newly-licensed El Gordo. 5pm to 8pm.

have pockets of time when I’m not touring and I hide away in my little shack.

“Touring is a hypersocial way of life really, I love meeting new folks and moving around and playing shows. But I think coming back to my country retreat provides a good balance.”

Music has always been central to Lucie’s life, but

conversation, Lucie seems to focus on her songwriting, which is the part the audience doesn’t see, but she does see herself as a performer – a singer with guitar, who writes too.

“I’m not a singer with a capital S,” she said.

“But it’s obviously a big part of what I do.”

Back to the songwriting, and Lucie admitted

it’s a bit of a dark art.

“I’ve never considered myself prolific,” she said.

“But most of the songs I write have a thread of similarity in the way they come out. They nearly always start with a melodic idea or a little passage on the guitar.

“The lyrics usually come last, and I love the storytelling element of songwriting.”

Lucie said songwriting is not about writing a novel, as there’s only enough space for a certain amount of words.

“But you can hint at a lot,” she said.

“Set enough of a scene or a character that resonates with the listener, and leave enough space for them to bring their own thoughts or memories.”

Lucie Thorne and Jo Jo Smith play the Penny School Gallery Café, Maldon Sunday, July 8, 4pm.

Tickets $15 at the door.

ONLY in Australia could you find a retired farmer who now does a comedy circuit.

Rod Gregory, the Old Fella, is on his way to Bendigo and I think he is going to make his mark.

Rod performed on Australia’s Got Talent last year and drew praise from Danni Minogue who said: “You’re very, very good at what you do, people love the jokes but people also love you.”

Praise indeed.

Rod said he uses his ability to deliver renowned Aussie humour.

“They are not always new jokes,” he said.

There you are, you have been warned.

Rod will also be supporting Chris and Wendy Sessions with their 9000 kilometre journey on a Chamberlain Tractor to Darwin and back to raise awareness of Bowel Cancer.

“Humour enlarges our perspective on events such as illness, which disrupt the established harmony of everyday life,” Rod said.

“One of the many benefits of a positive outlook is that it encourages new ways of thinking about old fears, problems and conflicts.”

The Old Fella is a bit of a sage too.

Every $2plus donation to Chuggin For Charity at the event will have the opportunity to win a signed Akubra. - Steve Kendall The Old Fella is at The Capital Theatre, 7.30pm Thursday, July 19.

ALWAYS POPULAR: Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit.

Join peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny and Mr Tod these holidays

T

O celebrate the 110th anniversary of Beatrix Potter’s classic tale, the delightful production Happy Birthday Peter Rabbit is coming to The Capital these school holidays.

Adapted by Australian writer and award-winning producer Garry Ginivan, the show seamlessly interweaves the stories of Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny and Mr Tod together in a delightful production.

Beatrix Potter is the narrator along with Peter Rabbit, cousin Benjamin Bunny, old Mr Bunny, Tommy Brock, Mr Tod and a three-metre high Mr McGregor performing along to a original music score by

Mark Jones.

Beatrix Potter, a famous English author and illustrator known for her imaginative children’s books featuring animals such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was first published in 1902.

Her much-loved books continue to sell throughout the world, in many languages with her tales retold and enjoyed in song, film, ballet, theatre and animation.

“Beatrix Potter is one of the world’s best known children’s storytellers, and this production celebrates her work in a way that will delight children and adults alike,” Capital manager David Lloyd said.

Find your

wild side!

“Bendigo audiences are familiar with the superb work of Garry Ginivan, with his previous shows Possum Magic, Wombat Stew and My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch each receiving a great response here.”

Three shows only, July 2 at 6pm and July 3 at 10am and 1pm.

Tickets $16 available online at www.thecapital.com.au at the Box Office or by phoning 5434 6100.

Happy Birthday Peter Rabbit is presented as part of the First Stages Program for young theatre audiences, with the assistance of Regional Arts Victoria.

HERE are few dishes which will please most people.

Fish and chips fit into the category.

Australians still flock to the chip shop with some adhering to the no-meat on Friday rule which is a windfall for the chippie.

The dish is not a universal favourite, but in Australia it’s a winner.

Oldham in England lays claim to the first chip shop in the 1850s, with fish frying warehouses being mentioned by Dickens in the 1860s, when the two were first combined is a bit of a mystery, but let’s face it, when we are tucking into a plate of the sea’s finest we don’t care.

Traditionally the fish is battered, some like it thin and some like it thick, but there is a market for the naked fish, grilled for diet reasons, always works well with a few hundred grams of chips... yum.

A more modern addition to the menu is the dim sim... the famous

dimmy started life as a steamed beast, but after a test in the deep fryer the Aussie dimmy was born.

I don’t believe you could find it anywhere else in the world.

It’s fast and filling,

and fun too... there are not many meals you can eat straight out of their wrapping and enjoy so much.

Why not pop along to one of our local shops for a top taste, go on it’s Friday.

Long service to Bendigo students WITH

JAMES LERK flect on his long and interesting life, particularly in the field of education.

At the unveiling of the plaque on April 21, 1998, he spoke about the privileges of life.

“This occasion of the unveiling of the 125th Commemorative Plaque is one of the most impor-

I consider the greatest privilege was given during the period 1917 to 1923 tant privileges in my life, and responsible for it is the Anniversary Committee to whom I am deeply thankful.

“It was also a privilege to have studied in the buildings around us, and in this very old library (today the Brit Restaurant) articles in the London Illustrated Times on the Egyptian discoveries of 1922 and Milton’s epic, Paradise Lost, had lasting effects.

“It was a privilege to enter the teaching service, which gave me a lifetime of satisfaction that did not end with retirement [1965] as an outstretched hand is followed by a friendly voice saying ‘You taught me 40/50 years ago’.

“However, I consider the greatest privilege was given during the period 1917 to 1923 when I came under the influence of staff teachers and lecturers who were blessed with all the attributes that make great educators.

“They will live in the memories of later students, some of whom are present today.”

Roger was able to remind the listeners at the unveiling of the changes and progress that education had made in the intervening 125 years. As he finally said, “The transformation to a university is slow but sure.”

At the Bendigo North celebrations past staff and students were asked to fill in a sheet for School Memories, Roger did exactly that, although strictly in précis form.

As a 92-year-old at the time, his writing was still confident and clear.

He commented on the quinces and Miss Considine.

Quinces were a real delight for youngsters to

acquire and eat, mostly by surreptitious means.

Were the quince trees in Miss Considine’s garden a target for the pupils of the school?

A little extra food was always welcome in that era.

Roger also mentioned the gang wars, pitched battles fought with thrown grass sods and any other equally innocuous material.

The North Bendigo hill slopes were the source of building foundation stone, hence there were a number of quarries in the Ryan Street and Bayne Street vicinity.

These abandoned quarries early in the 20th century were a great adventure play area for many youngsters.

There was one particular quarry that the children had named the Quarry Stadium.

This was located close to the Bendigo North school.

To indicate his charitableness Roger finally wrote, “I should like to make a small donation, say $250, to purchase any equipment for the school.”

Not only did he help in a munificent way but for many years voluntarily he assisted migrants to learn English as well as those adults who were to sit for various exams.

ROGER FRANK JALLAND was in 1949 first a temporary teacher appointment at the Bendigo Junior Technical School and in 1952 became a staff member of the BSM. He was a graduate of the Bendigo School of Mines and Industries, in the field of Applied Chemistry.

The JTS came under the umbrella of the BSM, so Roger had come full circle.

In 1998 the Pro-ViceChancellor of LaTrobe University Bendigo, Professor Les Kilmartin, helped oversee the 125th year celebrations of tertiary education’s contribution to Bendigo.

The graduate who had been invited to unveil the bronze plaque in the foyer of the former Mechanics Institute, later the BSM (and now these buildings are occupied by BRIT the Technical and Further Education provider for this immediate region), was to be Roger himself.

Because of his longevity he was already practised at 125 year celebratory events.

He had helped to cut the 125th cake marking birthday of the Bendigo North Primary School as it was then called (today Lightning Reef Primary School).

Kristi’s swansong

BY JOEL PETERSON

KRISTI Harrower’s last game as an Opal in Bendigo resulted in a seven point victory on Tuesday night, in a game the 37 year-old described as “a defensive slog”.

Playing in her 200th senior Opals game, Harrower finished with five points and six assists, her trademark court vision and polished passing on full display.

The game was all tied up at 18 apiece at quarter time, neither side really clicking offensively in the first stanza.

At a timeout with three minutes left until half time, Opals coach Carrie Graf had willed her charges not to give up any easy baskets as they held an 11-point lead.

That was trimmed down to a five point buffer with only 38 seconds remaining in the half, before Jenna O’Hea and Belinda Snell made three-point shots – Snell’s right on the buzzer – to regain the home side’s comfortable 11 point lead.

Snell was the Opals’ best on the night, her defence stifling the Brazilian guards while adding 15 points and displaying her sublime passing skills, most notably with a behind-the-back pass in transition to a wide open Lauren Jackson.

The Opals extended their

WISE WORDS: Coach Carrie Graf.

Coverage of this story is available at www.bendigoweekly.com.au lead to 24 points following an Abby Bishop and-one early in the last term, at which stage the game was all over.

Brazil’s last quarter masked their poor performance, shooting 9/15 from the field in the last after going 12/42 through the first three quarters.

An emotional Harrower addressed the crowd after the game, thanking them for coming to support the team.

“It’s an amazing feeling

knowing this is probably my last game in my home town for Australia,” she said.

“It was just lucky that this ended up being my 200th game but thank you to everybody, for everything you’ve done over the years.”

Harrower will travel to her fourth Olympics with the team, who will try to snap a streak of three consecutive silver medals when their campaign kicks off against Great Britain on July 28.

Heading for the Olympics

BY JOEL PETERSON

BEFORE they took to the court on Tuesday night, the Australian Opals attended a gala luncheon at the Bendigo Jockey Club.

Coach Carrie Graf, Lauren Jackson, Liz Cambage and Kristi Harrower were all in attendance at the luncheon which was joint hosted by the Bendigo Spirit and Gallic Club, in support of the Opals.

All four spoke at the function, Jackson, Cambage and Graf all paying tribute to

Harrower ahead of her 200th Opals game.

The 203cm, 20 year-old Cambage said she is extremely excited about heading to her first Olympic games.

“I can’t even describe the feeling, I’m very excited, very nervous and it hasn’t really sunk in yet but when we get to London I’m sure it will hit me.”

The luncheon also featured an auction, to which Jackson donated a playing singlet worn with her Spanish club Valencia, as well as several items of Opals memorabilia.

Match venue relocated as oval surface fails to make grade THE venue of the upcoming Bendigo Pioneers and Geelong Falcons match is under a cloud of doubt.

The Weekly revealed last week that the surface at Epsom-Huntly Recreation Reserve, the Pioneers’ home ground, had been deemed unfit by an AFL Victoria representative before the Pioneers’ June 17 TAC Cup match with the Dande-

nong Southern Stingrays.

The match slated to be played at Epsom on July 2 against the Falcons is in the process of being relocated, according to Pioneers official Leigh Byrne.

City of Greater Bendigo Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said the ground had only marginally improved since the game against the Stingrays was

“We’ve been doing some over sowing with rye grass, but with the colder conditions recently we haven’t seen a lot of growth in that,” he said.

“The conditions have marginally improved, but not enough for the Pioneers to change their views on the ground’s conditions.”

“A few clubs had a bit of interest in me but I guess decided it was too much of a risk, and now I’m playing at Yarrawonga and really enjoying that.”

After a 12 year career, Fevola doesn’t look back and say “what could have been”.

“I played footy for 12 years, I’m pretty happy with the way I performed on the field and my record speaks pretty well,” he said.

“Obviously there was some offfield stuff, but at the end of the day I was there to play footy and I think I did that pretty well.”

He remains non-committal about his playing future after this year, however admits he has all but closed the door on playing AFL. “Hypothetically speaking, you never say never, but it would be highly unlikely – it would certainly be an amazing story.”

“My life was played out as a bit of an open book, the media liked to write a lot of stories and I just felt it was a great opportunity to tell my side of the story.”

He said the process of going through rehab was the hardest thing to recount for the book, as that’s when he hit “rock bottom”.

“I was pretty comfortable going through most of the events, but rehab was the hardest thing to get out when I wrote the book, that’s when I was at my worst and really at rock bottom.”

Playing for Casey Scorpions last year, the 31 year-old admitted there were a few AFL clubs that had contacted his management but he never expected to be drafted.

“I never expected to be picked up at all, I really only played to tell myself I could play and that I could still

BRENDAN Fevola thinks Chris Judd is the best player to have ever played AFL. Speaking ahead of coming to Bendigo yesterday, Fevola said he rates Judd as the best ever.

“Judd is probably the best ever to play the game, but just hasn’t had a standout season this year,” he said.

As for who is the best player in the AFL at the moment, Fev who played 204 matches for 623 goals, thinks a star from his former club Carlton’s arch nemesis is just about the premier player in the league.

“Gary Ablett is having a great year but I love watching Scott Pendlebury play, I reckon he’s a gun – I’d rate him nearly number one.”

Fev appeared at Dymocks Bendigo to sign copy of his book In My Own Words yesterday.

The former Carlton and Brisbane Lions full-forward said he wrote the book to set the record straight on

and if it hasn’t settled then we will relocate possibly to the QEO which is also a great facility also,” he said.

“The concern for us is that obviously there’s kids in our competition that are in contention to be drafted so there’s that risk management element to it.”

Mr Fuzzard said the QEO was not the only ground being considered for the game to be played at.

AFL Victoria region manager for Geelong Michael Turner admitted some concerns had been raised about the turf by teams that had played there, and that the Falcons would leave the decision on the ground to the Pioneers.

Toby rides high With a trip to the USA in his sights, rodeo star Toby Collins is heading in the right direction as he goes from strength to strength in the saddle

By JOEL PETERSON

YOUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;D think horses might be a bit kinder to Toby Collins.

He works with them for a living, but has to stop them from bucking him off.

The 19-year-old rodeo star from Maldon recently made a trip up to the Gold Coast to contest the 2012 National Finals Rodeo, which was taken out by New South Walesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rhys Angland.

In in his second year of Open Class competition, Collins fared well at the national finals, leading the saddle bronc competition after four rounds while also competing in the bull ride.

The 2011 Australian Professional Rodeo Association rookie champion in both the saddle bronc and bull ride has had plenty

of experience in the sport, with his parents leading the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it since I was a little kid, and my mum and dad have always been involved in it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Competing against cowboys up to twice his age in the open division is certainly no easy feat for Collins, who works as a farrier in Longlea, but he says heading off to such big tournaments is quite rewarding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going up to the Gold Coast and that kind of thing is good, you see a fair bit of country and make heaps of friends along the way.â&#x20AC;?

One of the APRA rising stars, Collins has plans to go to America, possibly next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopefully going over to the States next year to check out the circuit there, which would be

really good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No plans have been made yet, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to get over there and learn from the best.â&#x20AC;?

Collins said there are several cowboys he looks up to in international competition including ninetime world champion Ty Murray, but his biggest role model is a former Australian champion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My biggest role model would be my dad, he was the one who got me involved and was great to watch growing up.â&#x20AC;?

If he can secure the sponsorships, a dream trip to the home of rodeo, the USA, could become a reality.

One day he may even be able to buck the trend of USA domination in the sport, and instead of forging horseshoes, forge a career in the sport he loves.

WINNING WAYS: Toby Collins is a rising rodeo star.
