Ross takes his next step ROSS White’s long service as Bendigo’s cobbler will end on June 23 at 1pm when he closes the door of his Williamson Street shop for the last time and with a lot of sadness.

Mr White’s career started in the same shop 35 years ago when he began his apprenticeship in repairing shoes. Over the same period the shop has been a source of handbags, luggage, gloves and accessories, all one of a kind so wearers are not seen to be following the crowd. Mr White served as president of the Bendigo Traders Association during his tenancy, and is known never to be short of an opinion. His full story will appear in next week’s Bendigo Weekly.

THE Marong farmland at the centre of a compulsory acquisition controversy has tripled in value by being rezoned for comprehensive development as part of the City of Greater Bendigo’s bid to build a business park, according to mayor Margaret O’Rourke.

Owners of the land, Max and Pauline Carter, have publicly defended their position not to accept an offer for the land last year, arguing it has been in family ownership for three generations.

Rezoning hikes farm land value

In an opinion piece for the Bendigo Weekly, Cr O’Rourke has revealed the Carters gave up an offer for 313 hectares of their land at three times what it would be worth as farmland.

While neither the council nor the Carters have disclosed the value of the offer, under those terms the council could have offered as much as $4.5m based on the most recent median value of land.

According to the Australian Farmland Values report released by Rural Bank, the median value of farmland in the Bendigo local government area was $4659 per hectare in 2017.

At that value, the land would be worth about $1.5m as farmland, and about $4.5m as land that could be developed for industrial use.

The Marong land is located near the border with the Loddon Shire

Council where the median value last year was $2994 per hectare.

At that value, the land could be appraised as worth more than $3m for industrial use.

“The site was rezoned last year by the planning minister (Richard Wynne) to allow for industrial use, so the land is three times more valuable today than it was under the former farming zone,” Cr O’Rourke said.

“The city has made a considerable and genuine offer to the family based on the value of the land under the new zoning.

“The family would also be able to continue farming the land until it is required for development, which would likely happen in stages as state and federal government funding become available.”

Despite consistent rejection, the council has been making overtures to the Carters for the land for more than 14 years.

Haven for homeowners

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, June 15, 2018

A SCHEME that is the brainchild of Bendigo-based Community Sector Banking and housing provider Haven; Home, Safe will start this month as a pilot program in two Australian states setting 100 people up to buy their own homes.

Community Sector Banking, a joint venture of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and 38 not-forprofit shareholders, is the sole lender for the Unpack for Good program that will be trialled for a year with Haven and New South Wales-based Housing Plus.

Bendigo Bank is also involved in a separate shared equity scheme, also launched this year, in which the Victorian government plans to lend to 400 people otherwise unable to afford their own home.

Bendigo Bank is on the lending panel for the HomesVic project.

Community Sector Banking chief executive Andrew Cairns said he was not surprised Bendigo Bank would work in the shared equity sector.

“You would expect Bendigo Bank with its community minded approach, looking at building societal outcomes not just financial outcomes, this is totally in line with our values,” Mr Cairns said.

It is also good business given

HELPING HAND: A new scheme will allow easier access to home ownership. the mortgages will not differ from the normal product and the bank will share the risk with housing providers, including Haven and New South Wales-based Housing Plus in one scheme, and the state government in the other.

Mr Cairns said the Unpack for Good pilot differed because it affected the release of 80 per cent of the capital that housing providers have wrapped up in rental homes that are currently fully

owned by Haven.

Mr Cairns said the release of that money should allow providers such as Haven and Housing Plus to build new housing stock.

Essentially, the program is a three-way mortgage between CSB, the aspiring home owner who takes out the mortgage, and the housing provider who provides the deposit and retains a 20 per cent stake in the property.

“It would be a better out-

come to get five families into five homes and Haven owning a portion of each, rather than Haven owning one home outright and renting it,” Mr Cairns said.

The HomesVic model includes the state goverment as the equity partner in a loan arrangement.

Bendigo is a preferred location for the scheme, and the HomesVic website says the local provision was filling.

Waste problem dries up

By Sharon kemp

BENDIGO’s busiest CBD property developer is relying on large scale organic waste dehydration technology in the absence of a council collection, to deal with 200 kilograms of green waste a week.

Scott Jackman, who built the multi-storey, mixed-use 111 Mitchell street apartment complex and has just started work on a five-storey development on Wills Street, has also opted for private sector services for rubbish and recyclables because of the infrequency of the council’s recyclables collection, and to avoid bins cluttering up the kerb.

The City of Greater Bendigo is trialling a twice-a-week organic collection in the CBD for 16 food

Developer invests in dehydrator technology businesses. Mr Jackman said he decided shortly after completing the Mitchell Street complex in 2016 that he needed to deal with organic waste onsite instead of sending it to landfill.

He sourced a dehydrator that within hours reduced waste volume by 90 per cent, and produced a concentrated garden fertiliser.

A centrally located industrial scale model could be the solution for all of Bendigo’s central businesses and residents, he said.

The technology was called invessel and would require a large initial capital outlay but would help to keep bins off the streets.

“If we want dense inner city living, then to have kerbside collection is just insane,” Mr Jackman said.

“We have these streets that are filled with bins and people don’t bring them in and then some businesses don’t have anywhere to put them so they just leave them there all the time and it is hideous and ugly and smelly and clogs up car parks.”

He said the council had agreed to remove the waste charge from the rates of apartment owners.

The complex hosts cafe Ex Lion Tamer which is the major source of organic waste.

Mr Jackman said the cost of the

dehydrator, at $35,000, may not have been feasible without a grant from the Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Group.

The grant makes the technology at 111 Mitchell Street a demonstration site for other businesses, and data that measures the impact in the first 12 months of operation will help with future developments of high density living.

Mr Jackman said there was a greater cost benefit to install the technology at his new development at 23 Wills Street because he recovered space that normally would been used up by bins.

“I recover more of the building

mass for liveable area and the reapplication of that space helps recover the cost of the equipment,” he said.

“And there is an amenity improvement.

“If you are in a mixed use building with a number of users in them, if you have got one of the tenants with a high volume of organic material, there is the potential for smells, odours, rodents, vermin, and it starts to get disharmonious for all the users who are trying to use that space.

“To be able to condense that in a clean and hygienic way, it means that everyone gets along a little bit better.”

Mr Jackman said there was fertiliser available to give away at the cost of a coffee at the Ex Lion Tamer.

What’s on the council agenda?

walkabout: Deputy premier James Merlino in Bendigo yesterday. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Deputy defends position over principal EDUCATION minister James Merlino has dismissed the concerns of two Victorian principal representative bodies that the whistleblowing process that initiated the investigation of former Bendigo South East College principal Ernie Fleming.

They say it protects informants but not education department employees who answer complaints.

Mr Merlino also confirmed yesterday the Department of Education and Training that

conducted the investigation would not release the findings.

He was in Bendigo to open the $6.2m Bendigo Senior Secondary College upgrade including a new library and business studies centre, and confirm that as of next year central Victorian students can complete an apprenticeship or traineeship at school under the Head Start program.

But Mr Merlino faced more questions about the treatment of Mr Fleming, who resigned two weeks ago after

hearing the interim results of an 18-month investigation.

Mr Fleming said at the time he walked away because he believed he would not receive natural justice within the investigation process.

Victoria’s Australian Principals Federation and the Victorian Principals Association have criticised DET’s Speak Up whistleblowers program for failing to support principals.

“You can’t go too far in ensuring the integrity of our education system,” Mr Mer-

lino said while defending the program.

“Financial mismanagement, conflict of interest, these are serious matters and if issues are raised, they need to be investigated appropriately and diligently and the right outcome needs to be achieved, so no, I don’t accept that.”

Mr Merlino said the department was moving to appoint a permanent principal replacing staff who have led the school since Mr Fleming stood aside in 2017.

THERE were plenty of community suggestions for the City of Greater Bendigo’s 2018-19 budget, but the version council officers will put before council next week is largely unchanged from the draft item released more than four weeks ago.

The agenda for next Wednesday’s meeting includes a summary of ideas that came from submissions including a levy raising more than $4 million per year on businesses including motels, hotels and caravan parks that benefit from tourism.

The submitter suggested the funds could be used towards subsidising the operations of the Capital Theatre, Bendigo Art Gallery and major events.

Former mayor Peter Cox suggested a review of parking in the city given revenue is three times what is spent on the provision.

There was also a submission that asked council to consider a museum or heritage centre for the city.

Council officers recommended councillors approve the budget.

In other items, a new childcare centre is being proposed for the growing residential suburb of Strathfieldsaye.

Suggested for a location less than 50 metres from the town centre, developers of the plans for the Apsley Street Childcare includes enough space for 114 children.

There have been objections to the proposal including the potential for traffic congestion and that the proposal does not meet community needs as existing early learning centres and kindergartens are not at capacity.

The developers and objectors have met with Eppalock ward councillors since March.

Council officers have recommended the project go ahead.

Next week, councillors will also vote for the Strathfieldsaye township strategy, and separately the Marong strategy.

Both areas are forecast to experience population growth.

A traffic bypass is suggested for Marong given heavy vehicle traffic through the town has increased significantly in recent years.

Rezoning hikes farm land value From Page 1 When councillors applied in 2015 to have a public acquisition overlay applied to the land, which would have been a precursor to forcible acquisition, an independent panel found that not enough work had been done to justify the move.

But the panel did recommend the rezoning.

Subsequently the council decided to go ahead with rezoning and to make a later decision about the overlay.

The decision to reapply for the public acquisition overlay was announced in April and approved by councillors soon after.

The Carters continue to campaign to retain their land, but the ultimate decision is Mr Wynne’s and is expected within weeks.

It is understood there is nothing to stop another developer stepping in and making an offer to the family, and developing it within the provisions of the zoning.

Mobile funding signalled

By JOEL PETERSON

CONNECTIVITY to internet and mobile services is as important to regional Australians as roads and infrastructure, according to deputy Nationals leader Bridget McKenzie.

Senator McKenzie joined Nationals candidate for Bendigo East Gaelle Broad yesterday to double down on a recent announcement of a $25 million investment toward the Mobile Blackspot Program.

But federal member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters was quick to respond, saying the money was not new and instead came out of the $83 million committed to in stage three of the program.

Bendigo has not been a recipient of funding through the opening stages, and Ms McKenzie said the blackspot program is geared toward areas that have so little coverage that calls can’t be made in emergency situations.

“If there’s significant blackspots in Bendigo and there’s an identified need I’d encourage those communities and those people and places to put their application forward,” she said.

“But when you’re looking at, as a government, trying to connect communities that have no wi-fi,

“Where we’re looking at somewhere like Bendigo, you have access to broadband and can make a phone call in any street I’ve been in, I think you’d understand where

we want to try and put that federal government money.”

Wi-fi on trains was also on the agenda, with Ms Broad questioning the state government’s recent push to install wireless internet on V/Line trains.

“We keep hearing that it’s coming and it’s no surprise that with an election in November that the state government has said ‘yes we’ll get that mobile connectivity on carriages before the end of this year,’” Ms Broad said.

Extra slowdown on rail

TRAIN services on the Bendigo line have been moving backward as far as performance is concerned with just 77 per cent of trains running on time last month.

V/Line notched up 36 consecutive months without meeting the on-time target of 92 per cent at the end of April and suffered a sharp decline on its services in May. V/Line recorded 85.4 per cent of its services on time in April, which plummeted to 76.9 per cent last month.

That figure sat below the network average of 79.3 per cent

punctuality, with the Bairnsdale line recording just 27.4 per cent of services on time.

PTV CEO Jeroen Weimar said across the network May was a difficult month. He said a report will be handed to government in coming months regarding V/Line’s performance.

“PTV is working with V/Line to examine performance of all corridors on the regional network, and will provide advice to government in the coming months,” he said.

Meantime, the state government’s Regional Rail Revival works package has moved a step closer, with construction time-

frames set for the four-year, $1.45 billion project.

Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack announced work has progressed on the project to the stage where timelines

The project was announced as part of the 2017/18 state budget, and was to be funded with federal money that would be redistributed to Victoria after the sale of the

and Mr McCormack agreeing to a deal.

The $91 million worth on planned works on the Bendigo to Echuca line is expected to be completed by early 2021, with signalling and track upgrades.

At present, the VLocity trains running on the line do so at reduced speeds due to the state of the tracks.

Mr McCormack said the project is expected to create 1000 jobs over the four-year timeframe.

Ms Allan said the package of works would improve the reliability of the regional public transport network, deliver extra train services and support local economies.

“I’m very pleased now that we’ve been able to reach the point of agreement with the federal government, where we can now release the details and of course get on with the program of works,” Ms Allan said.

MP fires up over bills PENSIONERS are facing winter power bills without the offset of the $14 a-fortnight energy supplement, according to Bendigo MP Lisa Chesters.

Labor is preparing to lobby cross bench senators before a vote on the 2018-19 budget.

Cutting the supplement was first announced in the 2016 budget and was meant to start in September last year but the Coalition government has repeatedly failed to get it passed through the Senate.

Ms Chesters said Labor and the cross bench would have to defeat the cut in the Senate again.

“These zombie cuts may make their Budget look a little bit better but it creates a lot of fear in the community,” she said.

Bendigo pensioner Steve Aitkenhead said the solution was to tie the pension to the cost of living.

He said the pension was too low meaning recipients were sometimes unable to afford staples such as meat and fuel.

“We think hard about whether we drive to medical appointments in Melbourne or take public transport because of the price of fuel,” Mr Aitkenhead said.

Fuel costs were also the difference between pensioner Maggie Merigan volunteering in the community, or not.

Ms Merigan, who is a single pensioner, said her mental health depended on contact in the community which she sought through volunteer work.

Graeme Smith said pensioners were left behind because they don’t have a full working life of superannuation when they retired.

Compulsory superannuation was introduced in 1992.

It will be another two decades before the retirement of workers with a full working life of super.

Ms Chesters said theoretically Australia’s pension bill should be lower every year.

“But that gives us the opportunity to lift the pension out of poverty,” she said.

RSPCA Victoria is holding an end of fur-nancial year run out, removing the adoption fee on all makes and models of adult cats.

The tongue-in-cheek cat fee-waiver campaign comes with some serious messaging to encourage Victorians to desex their pets.

Each person who adopts a cat during the promotion which runs to Sunday, will also receive a discounted RSPCA Victoria desexing voucher to pass on to a family member or friend.

Animal care manager Liz Walker said the charity is hoping to bring a renewed awareness of the need for pet owners to desex their animals.

“In the past six months alone, RSPCA Victoria has cared for more than 5500 cats,” Ms Walker said.

“The majority of those come in as strays or unplanned litters of kittens. This is a cycle we see repeated year after year, and one that places an unnecessary burden on both the animal shelters and the public that care for them.

“That’s why we’re providing new cat owners a 20 per cent discount desexing voucher that they can pass on to someone they know to encourage responsible pet ownership.”

Bendigo Animal Hospital vet Clare Montgomery said desexing pets was important.

“There are so many unwanted litters in Bendigo, and unwanted strays,” she said.

“Apart from, that an un-desexed pet is more at risk from a number of health and behavoural issues, and more likely to wander.”

The fee-waiver promotion applies to all cats aged four months and over available at all RSPCA Victoria Animal Care Centres.

Women win the honours

By ALEX GRETGRIX

warm donations: Kerrie and Barbara Anglin from St Vincent de Paul.

Warmer days ahead THE team at Finnys are at it again, with the popular manchester store once again stepping in to help others where it can.

Last year, Finnys donated about 400 slightly imperfect wool quilts to Anglicare to assist homeless and needy people in both Bendigo and Shepparton.

This year, Finnys have turned to Tontine Australia for help, and approximately 170 slightly imperfect woollen quilts have been provided for distribution, once again, between people in Bendigo and Shepparton.

Announcing his company’s donation, Tontine Australia spokesman Simon Brash said everyone was committed to ensuring the quilts reached those locals in need as quickly as possible, as the coldness of winter bore down on the Bendigo region.

St Vincent de Paul Society Bendigo

Regional Council president Barb Anglin thanked Finnys and Tontine Australia for their support and generosity, and said many families were struggling with rising costs of living, and every week the demand for St Vincent de Paul’s services was increasing.

“Over the past three years there has been a 40 per cent increase in the level of financial support delivered across Victoria by the society,” she said.

“Winter is much less forgiving than the warmer months. Winter clothing and bedding are more expensive during these months, and this donation of doonas is very much appreciated.”

The quilts are available from the St Vincent de Paul assistance centre, located at 16 Hopetoun Street Bendigo, open 9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday and 9am – 4pm Saturday.

regal result for police

Police conducted more than 137,400 preliminary breath tests and 2051 roadside drugs tests across the state over the long weekend, detecting 227 drink drivers and 148 drug test offences.

In the Bendigo police service area, seven drink drivers and one drug driver were detected from tests conducted by police.

Another driver was unlicensed, three motorists were caught disobeying signs/signals, one vehicle was unregistered and another impounded.

POLICE have been left disappointed after five deaths were recorded on Victorian roads over the long weekend.

Police conducted Operation Regal to crack down on driver behaviour, with 45 drivers detected speeding in Bendigo from Friday to Monday as part of the operation.

One of the lives lost came on local roads, when a motorcyclist in his 50s was killed on Monday after colliding with a car at Heathcote.

Three Bendigo women were recipients of the Medal of the Order of Australia awarded as part of the Queen’s Birthday honours on Monday.

Margaret Keech, Milly Parker and Olive Bice were among the women who were honoured this year, an achievement for not only themselves, but also the Bendigo region.

Strathfieldsaye resident Ms Keech was honoured for her service in the community of Bendigo with many hours dedicated to a number of organisations around the city.

“I was very surprised, very humbled and it was a wonderful recognition of some of the things I do,” Ms Keech said.

Ms Keech has given a lot of her time to groups such as Scouts Victoria, the Girton Grammar Parents and Friends Association and the Ulumbarra Foundation.

“I like to be involved. I’ve always been a person who likes to be involved in doing things,” she said.

Ms Parker was recognised for her advocacy roles for people with disabilities.

She was able to share the moment she found out about the award with her mother as she spoke to her over the phone.

“She started reading the letter out to me and we both just started bawling. It was a massive mix of emotions,” Ms Parker said.

After suffering a brain injury as a result of a car accident at the age of 21, she has devoted time to groups and campaigns such as the Every Australian Counts campaign, the Victorian Disability Advisory Council and young people in nursing homes.

Maiden Gully country singer Ms Bice was acknowledged for her service to the performing arts.

Ms Bice was actually performing in Barmera, South Australia

Warning for drones

By Sharon kemp

DRONE operators will have to be aware now the new Bendigo Health helipad is the landing site for emergency helicopters.

The issue of an exclusion area around the helipad did not come up at a community forum hosted

by Bendigo Health and hospital builder Exemplar Health in late May, attended by more than 30 people.

A Bendigo Health spokesperson said noise was a major worry for residents living near the hospital precinct, but the expected frequency of landings of about two a week was enough to assuage concerns.

The landing of the air ambulance for a practice run marked the start of the helipad’s operation, and a warning that drone operators, commercial and hobbyist, have to be more cautious when flying within 5.5 kilometres of the hospital.

Licensed operator Bendigo Aerial has been commissioned for more and more

overview: The helipad will be in use soon. real estate work in Bendigo, according to founder Chris Mather, as birds-eye photos of properties start to become the norm in advertising.

That can mean flying a drone within an exclusion zone, but the newly-enacted exclusion zone means little for fully certified operators who were already licenced

to operate near airports and helipads, subject to strict rules.

Mr Mather said whenever commercial operators flew, they were in contact through aeronautical communications with the operators of manned aircraft.

He said that regardless of communication, if he

knew an aircraft was flying within an exclusion zone, he would land his drone.

Mr Mather said that rule also applied to hobbyists but they had to rely on their senses to know if there was an aircraft in the vicinity.

Under Civil Aviation Safety Aviation guidelines, flying drones near non-controlled aerodromes meant not flying on or above runways or taxiways and being mindful that aircraft can land and depart in any direction.

Mr Mather said helicopters landing at Bendigo Hospital could approach and leave in any direction.

CASA rules say the safety of remote piloted aircraft “can be improved by using observers near and in communication with the RPA pilot to warn of arriving or departing manned traffic”.

Mr Mather suggested drone flyers including hobbyists use the Can I Fly Here app developed by CASA, but be aware the Bendigo Hospital helipad is not yet included.

Donation at the museum Donations to the Bendigo Soldiers Memorial Institute Military Museum community building appeal have achieved close to $170,000.

Most recently the Eaglehawk Y Men’s Club made a donation towards the appeal.

Museum curator Kirsten McKay welcomed the $1000 donation by the club.

She said it is through the interest of local organisations such as the Eaglehawk Y Men’s Club that the appeal is now close to fulfilling its contribution of $500,000 towards the building works.

“We welcome organisations, individual and business support as we continue to create the largest regionally based military memorial museum in Australia,” Ms McKay said.

Donations to the building appeal are tax deductible and organisations, businesses and individuals who donate more than $1000 will be acknowledged on the donors and sponsors panel to be displayed within the refurbished foyer of the museum.

Donations can be made through any branch of the Bendigo Bank, or online at www.bendigobank.com.au Donations can also be made at the Bendigo District RSL, 73-75 Havilah Road, Bendigo, between 9am and 5pm weekdays.

On the move

A MAJOR clean-up of the old Bendigo Gasworks has uncovered some fascinating artefacts.

These include a dangerous looking weed cutting punt once used by the rowing club at Lake Weeroona and the trucks from one of Bendigo’s steam trams, which were built for use in Bendigo, back in the 1890s.

Bendigo Heritage Attractions were recently asked to prepare to vacate the gasworks site in view of the City of Greater Bendigo’s announcement that they intend to redevelop the site into a new tourism precinct.

“While we fully support the council’s new plans for the site, it is proving to be a time consuming and expensive process for us to move given that the tramways has used the site as a second depot for many years,” BHA CEO Peter Abbott said.

“However, we are making good

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, June 15, 2018

progress preparing for the move and appreciate the council’s support so far in helping with the process … of course the discovery of hidden treasures makes it a bit more interesting.”

Having done some research into the weed cutter, it appears to have been bought by the rowing club from the State Rivers in Murtoa to help remove the weeds in Lake Weeroona.

According to those who used it: “It had a turning circle to match the Titanic and similar buoyancy characteristics” so it was eventually retired in favour of more modern equipment.

The discovery of the steam tram trucks is significant in that, there are no known steam trams left from when they ran in Bendigo from 1892-1902.

Looking forward to an active later life?

Start thinking about it now.

New buses in Junourton Australians are living longer. And that means there’s a lot more life to enjoy.

Whatever you’re looking forward to, the government has programs to assist Australians to be better prepared.

The government is providing over $22 million to sporting and other local organisations to help you stay healthy, active and connected.

There are lots of ways to live the life you want.

Visit longliveyou.gov.au

THE Junourton community’s calls for extra bus services have been answered, but the suburb will still be without a dedicated route.

Public Transport Victoria recently called for feedback from residents about two possible route configurations for the existing Junortoun to Heathcote bus and an expansion of services to include Saturdays.

The route chosen will travel from Bendigo via La Trobe University, Strath Village and Reservoir Road to McIvor Road on its journey to Heathcote with five return buses to Heathcote departing Bendigo station each weekday.

In a first, a further three buses will run on Saturdays and Sundays. The route has previously not had buses operating on weekends.

Two morning peak services will leave Heathcote destined for Bendigo each weekday, to cater for school students and those along the route commuting to work.

Ms Allan said the community, led by the Junortoun action group and Heathcote Health, had been pushing for the services for a “number of years”.

The action group had previously voiced its displeasure with the area scoring no additional services when the bus network was overhauled in 2016.

“The Junortoun action group, it’s fair to say, has been working for a number of years, they’ve been talking to me for a number of years about the need for increasing bus services into the growing Junortoun community,” Ms Allan said.

Mr De Vries said the action group was thrilled with the announcement.

“The new services provide genuine options for residents to leave their cars at home and make return trips to Bendigo on both weekdays and weekends,” he said.

The services will be added at the end of September, and will also stop at Axedale, Derrinal and various locations along the McIvor Highway to Heathcote.

Also included in the changes was news that the route 63 bus to La Trobe University would be extended to provide a direct shuttle service between the hospital and the university.

No other changes are planned for the network, meaning the two Spring Gully services will remain as is.

New roof on Capital portico WORK has started to replace damaged slate roofing on the Capital building’s entrance portico in View Street.

City of Greater Bendigo’s Andy Walker said the works are part of the council’s heritage renewal program which will see damaged slate removed and new Welsh slate installed to match the original.

“All associated ridge capping, box gutters, eaves gutters, valleys and flashings will also be replaced,” Mr Walker said.

“The Capital is one of the council’s iconic and much loved historic buildings and it’s impor-

tant to undertake these types of essential maintenance works to preserve it into the future.

“The works are expected to be completed before the end of June and should cause little disruption to the building’s access as the scaffold will be located at the rear of the building.”

The works are being undertaken by local specialised roofing contractor Paul Monro.

The Capital building is of both architectural and historical significance to the state of Victoria. It is listed on both the Victorian and National Heritage Registers.

The Capital (formerly the Masonic Hall) was designed by noted local architects Vahland and Getzschmann in a Renaissance Revival style and constructed in 1873/74.

The building originally contained lodge rooms, a public tavern and a concert hall.

In 1889-90 Vahland and Getzchmann designed additions to the building, which included converting the concert hall to a theatre.

The building, with its imposing front façade is unsurpassed in a building of this type in Victoria.

NEXT weekend Castlemaine documentary film festival roadshow rides into Bendigo with a free screening of Dark Horse on Sunday, June 24.

The festival’s Denise Button has powerful view on the power of documentary films.

“You’re sitting in the cinema watching a fascinating on-screen character in an equally fascinating world, and then you are hit with a scene that leaves you speechless,” she said.

“Like any good film, its emotional power comes from that character and their story – but the biggest reason you are so moved and transfixed is because you know what you are watching is real.

“Yes, what you are witnessing really happened, and that person and place exists in a world you may otherwise never have known about.”

Ms Button said that’s the experience of documentary film.

“In an increasingly virtual world, the authenticity of documentaries means they are becoming more popular than ever,” she said.

In an effort to introduce a wider audience to the extraordinary situations and people captured in featurelength non-fiction films, the Castlemaine Documentary Film Festival is taking to the road.

“CDOC will present

free screenings of the heartwarming family-friendly film, Dark Horse,” Ms Button said.

“It’s an inspirational true story of a group of friends from a working men’s club who decide to take on the elite sport of kings and breed themselves a racehorse.”

Replicating the CDOC experience, the film will be followed by a Skype question and answer session hosted by dual Emmy-Award winning CDOC festival director Geoffrey Smith, in conversation with the film’s director, Louise Osmond.

To reserve your place at a free screening, register online at www.trybooking.com/VJFH. For further details visit www. cdocff.com.au

Fact injection The commentary in “Plan to thaw uni freeze” Bendigo Weekly, June 12 on the support provided to regional universities, needs an injection of a few facts.

The facts are the government provides significant funding to support regional universities including those in Victoria to help them deliver their higher education courses.

For example, this year, regionally headquartered universities throughout Australia will receive almost $1.7 billion in base funding for Commonwealth supported students.

The government’s plan to freeze just one stream of university funding for two years still means universities can enrol more students by making use of that 15 per cent teaching funding they appear to have been diverting.

There is no reason that universities could not tap into that 15 per cent of funding and put on more classes or tutors and lecturers or grow enrolments in courses they see as having strong student or industry demand.

Reports show that in the last seven years Australia’s universities have also splashed $1.7 billion on marketing and advertising.

Furthermore, universities could tap into that funding and grow enrolments in courses they see as having strong employment outcomes.

From 2020, we’ll grow funding at the rate of population increases and tie it to performance metrics to ensure our universities are focused on tackling issues that have emerged such as declining completion rates and lower employer satisfaction.

Lastly, our reforms don’t affect any of the specialist programs to support disadvantaged students at university like the regional loading worth $70 million each year, our 1200 regional scholarships or the $592 million Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program.

The bottom line is this government continues to support regional universities so country kids have the opportunity to undertake further study and training, which ultimately boosts their job prospects.

Senator Simon Birmingham, Minister for Education and Training

Long white clouds Mayor Margaret O’Rourke’s June 1 letter “In response” was deficient and misinformed.

Marg was trying to counter Bill Collier’s letter, “Council’s waste” (May 25) – in part about a ratepayer funded trip taken by the mayor, CEO and others to Dunedin, New Zealand.

Councillors approved the NZ trip

at the February 21 council meeting; two weeks after the visit. Not exactly best practice.

Bill wanted to know the real benefits greater Bendigo gained. He observed the visit “was 15 weeks ago and still no public report to council”.

Marg puffed long white clouds over Bill’s observation claiming media releases (which are not public reports to council meetings) and councillor briefings (closed meetings) were sufficient. Wrong.

Bill’s call was correct. The February 21 council minutes show, “A further detailed report on the outcomes of the [Dunedin] visit will be provided to a future council meeting.”

That has not happened.

Be gracious Marg.

No underarm bowling. Overcome the deficiency. Be accountable.

Rally the trip’s participants. Professionally inform the public. Present a Dunedin report “to a future council meeting”. It’s that simple.

Ted Coleman, Strathfieldsaye

Holiday planning In January this year certain councils caused consternation around the nation when they unilaterally decided not to hold their official Australia Day ceremonies on the January 26.

As a consequence the federal government, responsible for designating national holidays stripped those councils of their right to conduct citizenship ceremonies.

Those council decisions created a furore across the nation ranging from outrage, sympathy and outright support, in Bendigo our councillors voiced a similar range of views and opinions.

The federal government has chosen to gazette January 26, 2019 as the official date for Australia Day celebrations as is its role under the constitution.

But where do we all stand locally?

Are we going to have a last minute decision by council hidden among the hype of the Christmas / New Year holiday season to withdraw councils’ support and participation in the official Australia Day celebrations?

As I am unaware of any surveys or public consultations relating to this issue being undertaken by council among ratepayers I must assume that council has decided that it’s better to make no announcement rather than one that could create controversy.

Council has an obligation as the community leader to give people time to react to any decision council may make, and alter any plans they have already made, with just over six months to go this is just a common

curtesy council must extend to the community, and soon.

This is a national day any decision to change it should be made nationally following a mature debate with input from all Australians, as we all share the one nation wishing to live in peace and harmony with one another.

Raising awareness The world is faced with its greatest refugee crisis in history with 65 million displaced people (UNHCR) seeking escape from war, violence and persecution.

Australia has been shielded from most of this crisis but has welcomed a small number of refugees.

However, the policy of indefinite detention has seen men, women and children trapped indefinitely on Manus Island and Nauru.

They exist in limbo, with little prospect of resettlement and in increasing hopelessness.

Refugee Week is to be celebrated next week (June 17-30).

Its aim is to raise awareness of refugee issues both internationally and locally.

A program of activities is planned in Bendigo and Castlemaine to celebrate the strength and resilience of those who have come here seeking asylum and the important contribution they make to our community.

Bendigo is home to settlers from a number of countries, many are

former refugees and the community benefits from their rich cultural contributions to food, music, dance and festivals as well as participation in local employment and education.

Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services promotes cultural diversity and there are many groups working to raise awareness of refugee and asylum seeker issues as well as cultural diversity.

The Bendigo Refugee Week program includes many activities for families and students. The program can be found at: www.ruralaustraliansforrefugees.org.au or for more details contact: rarbendigo@gmail.com.

Council submission One has to read the City of Greater Bendigo’s submission to the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources review of Regional Service Model and Strategic Directions for Regional Policy.

Council claimed: “The drivers in non-metro areas will be fuelled by support services to local agriculture and resource production.

That is, the localised aspects of off-farm or off-mine servicing of business inputs, however, the heavy lifting in terms of population growth is these areas will be in providing services to the local population.

“This population will increasingly demand more services because of ageing.”

This submission also claimed to

be “a vibrant, innovative, sustainable and connected community by building on our heritage, natural environment and agricultural landscapes.”

Council’s declaration is at odds with its present hunger to grab and destroy good Marong farm land, and build an industrial park on our agricultural landscape. This is hypocrisy when council claims one thing and does the opposite.

This submission was clearly designed with malarkey and spin, a great skill for funding from government.

This submission also claimed, “Community led regional planning had advanced significantly... But more can be done to improve and grow this process”.

Improve? You can say that again.

Council cancelled a Marong residents meeting on the claim that a certain group might disrupt proceedings and cause problems with the hotel.

Why did councillors lack the conviction to seek other available venues for a public get-together?

Council can most certainly improve and grow this community led regional planning by listening to the people.

Ducking a pub meet doesn’t help.

As for the natural environment councillors, take a good look at the Bendigo creek infrastructure and surrounds which lacks care and maintenance, although one must say the bike tracks are good and well looked after.

Uni freeze not cool

Recent reports of a freeze in federal government funding for undergraduate places within the university sector are frustrating, especially for regionally based universities who look set to bear the brunt of the government’s latest move.

Short changing education providers is never going to be popular and is always going to cost more in the long run, and the frustration among the hierarchy at La Trobe University is understandable and to be expected.

The government’s decision effectively penalises La Trobe more than many other institutions because La Trobe harboured significant growth plans over the next few years, and it now has concerns about its ability to deliver on its own aspirations.

While the larger so-called Group of Eight universities face an average 3.5 per cent hit to funding for undergraduate courses over the next two years, regionally based unis can expect to lose an average seven per cent in funds for undergraduate places.

In the interests of especially those regional students whose place at university might otherwise be compro-

Editorial Comment mised by the government’s move, we urge all parties to take a closer look at ways to ensure students are not the ones to suffer most from this.

Country based universities do not have the same access to overseas students to help boost their bottom line, and smaller campuses can cost more to run, but they are a vital part of the community they exist in and serve.

There’s too much at stake in all this, and potentially shutting some students out of the uni system should not be an acceptable alternative.

CREDIT where credit is due, and in this case it seems the City of Greater Bendigo deserves acknowledgement for its performance in the latest community satisfaction survey released yesterday.

The survey has long been considered a benchmark of how residents

rate the council in a broad range of areas.

Pleasingly for Bendigo, we have come out of the survey looking better than we have in previous years, continuing a steady improvement that deserves to be noted and commemorated.

Greater Bendigo’s overall performance score of 59 is a three-point lift on the previous year’s outcome, and while there have been falls in the areas of advocacy and sealed local roads, council has made significant gains in making community decisions, customer service and its overall direction.

While the annual satisfaction survey is just one measure of council’s performance, it is an important one, and perhaps the only one that gives us all an idea of how we rank against other municipalities.

None of us will ever be pleased with what any of us do 100 per cent of the time, and we should always continue to look for ways to improve, but an overall positive outcome from this survey is something the council, and the broader community, can and should be proud of.

opinion

By STEVE KENDALL Bendigo Weekly Chief of Staff YESTERDAY a photo emerged of an Australian military vehicle flying a swastika flag.

The design was the national flag of Germany from 1933 to 1945 but has come to mean so much more.

In those 12 years, German chancellor Adolf Hitler brought into action a lot of his plans to create a master race.

While the rest of the world stood and watched, he started to bring about lots of his brutal plans.

It all ended rather badly for Germany with plenty of old scores settled along the way, but not before the plan for domination had seen tens of millions of people killed.

Present day estimates vary, but the figures are all more than 50 million.

So the flying of this flag, if the photo is genuine, shows stupidity of those involved to the highest level.

This flag of Germany

battle flag: This 2007 image has drawn flak. represents a time when the country was responsible for the deaths of so many, mostly civilians, the persecution of whole races and religions and the total disruption of the world.

Why would anybody want to be associated with the flag?

Even today, most commentators describe it as the Nazi flag rather than the German flag.

Any reference on yesterday’s news bulletins referred to the offending item as the Nazi flag, rather than ap-

portion blame to presentday Germany.

Germany would certainly not claim it with any pride, in fact it is a banned symbol in Germany and France.

So a tiny minority of our diggers flying the flag of an army which was ultimately soundly defeated makes no sense to me.

Why would you bother celebrating Germany’s failure? But perhaps the most stupid thing the photo represents is its pure brazen approach.

There is a camouflaged military vehicle surrounded by a group of camouflaged military personnel in a subdued desert background and they are flying a bloody great red flag.

I think the armed forces decided red was a pretty stupid colour to be wearing in about 1900, let alone 2007 in Afghanistan.

All of this aside, all it really does is bring the wrong kind of attention to those in the Australian Defence Force, the vast majority who are doing the right thing.

Thankfully I don’t know the stresses of being in a combat zone, and maybe the flying of flag, perhaps naively, was thought of as a harmless prank when so much serious stuff was going on all around.

But I would hope this event, if nothing else, indicates it was not OK to do it.

Germany has dumped its use of the swastika and left it firmly in the past, I think it would be sensible for us all to do the same.

ATUROPATH Michelle Soler’s lifestyle and nutrition clinic, Biota Health and Wellbeing at the Bendigo Day Spa and Wellness Centre (formerly Spa 11) in Forest Street, specialises in improving health outcomes for individuals with hormone and/or digestive symptoms.

Michelle has 18 years’ experience in lifestyle medicine and recently completed a La Trobe psychology degree, with a focus on how we perceive stress and how this influences our health.

“Our brain guides the function of every organ and system in our body,” Michelle said.

“How we manage stress affects our hormones, and ability to absorb nutrients from food, It may also contribute to food intolerance.”

With her background in psychology and nutrition, Michelle is passionate about the gut-brain connection, and the mood-food relationship.

“We’ve been talking about this for a long time and finally it looks like we have the science to back it up.

“Lifestyle, nutrition and health issues can undermine our best efforts.

“We spend a fortune on skincreams, diets and work so hard at the gym but without addressing the cause, results are only ever temporary,” Michelle said, who always recommends consulting a qualified health-care professional for weight-loss advice.

She also assists couples preparing for pregnancy – especially where infertility is a concern.

“The underlying cause of infertility can be complex requiring an integrated healthcare approach.”

HERE are still five weeks left to get your entries in for this year’s Bendigo Inventor Awards across several categories, embracing the agriculture, environmental sustainability and health related fields.

Ecothought’s LoRaWAN Data Logger has the potential to help revolutionise the agricultural sector and is a worthy contender for this year’s awards.

The data logger is designed to operate in the harsh Australian environment, as a core element of an infrastructure network that will manage and monitor resources without relying on mobile phone coverage, that is often inaccessible in remote areas.

The LoRaWAN Data Logger collects data from multiple sensor based devices, before transmitting it back through a central gateway enabling realtime processing of often rapidly changing data.

Ecothought’s Slade Beard has established a field-site on a property in the Harcourt Valley with an integration and testing platform for primary producers.

“This is where we have been developing and testing communication and infrastructure technologies to support the development of smart farms,” Slade said.

Slade is combining his information and communications technology

INNOVATIVE: Slade Beard and his LoRaWAN Data Logger. expertise gained through more than 25 years in the ICT field along with his family’s agricultural background.

In the past 10 years Slade has successfully designed and implemented numerous communications solutions across the defence, national security and health industries, and is looking

forward to now applying this knowledge and experience to support farmers in Australia and around the world.

Authorised insulation installer

ith no end in sight to exorbitant electricity and gas bills there has never been a better time to contact Flat Batt’s Mark Mitchell to install the best thermal insulation to help provide sustainable, indoor comfort all year round, regardless of season.

And with many Australian families concerned about allegies, particularly with young children, Flatt Batts recommend CSR Bradford insulation, being the only approved insulation partner of the National Asthma Council Australia’s Sensitive Choice program.

Flat Batts can even remove your old inefficient insulation and vacuum clean your ceiling, removing any debris and other unwanted material, before installing new insulation covered by a 70 year CSR Bradfords performance warranty.

However, it’s advice where Mark really excels, despite price being important.

Sandy Noble from Maldon will once again enjoy the benefits of under-floor insulation through another chilly winter.

While Clare Clark from Bendigo Retirement Village was most impressed

by Mark and his workers friendly and courteous service.

“They were willing to answer all my questions and completed the work promptly and efficiently,” Clare said.

Rob Murraylee was ecstatic about the terrific job Flat Batts undertook on the wall and under-floor insulation of his relocated house, improving the energy rating significantly.

So what are you waiting for?

Phone Mark from Flat Batts insulation today, on 0432 172 351 to discuss how the right insulation can transform your house into a comfortable home, all year round.

We care about your refund!

GET YOUR MAXIMUM TAX REFUND WITH H&R BLOCK BENDIGO

Watch your expenses L

AST year more than 3.75 million Australian taxpayers claimed workrelated car expenses, totalling around $8.8 billion according to Assistant Taxation Commisioner Kath Anderson.

This has led to the Australian Taxation Office taking particular attention to workrelated car expenses as part of a broader focus on work related expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are particularly concerned about taxpayers claiming for things they are not entitled to, like private trips, trips they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make, and car expenses that their employer paid for or reimbursed,â&#x20AC;? Ms Anderson said.

There are two ways to calculate a deduction for car expenses.

The cents-per-kilometre method which is limited to claims for work-related travel up to 5000 kilometers or using a log book to determine the work-related percentage of actual expenses incurred.

Annually around 870,000 people claimed the maximum amount under the cents-per-kilometre method. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legitimate to claim for 5000klm if you did actually do them as part of earning your income. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, we are concerned that some taxpayers mistakenly believe that this is standard deduction they are entitled to, without needing to provide any evidence of having travelled that distance, or even having undertaken any travel at all.â&#x20AC;?

No log book is required for the centsper-kilometre method, but taxpayers must be able to demonstrate how they calculated their entitlement by keeping a

Â

diary or similar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cents per kilometre method is there to simplify record-keeping, not to provide a free ride.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Anderson said there are three golden rules for taxpayers to remember to get it right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you have to have spent the money yourself and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been reimbursed, two â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the claim must be directly related to earning your income, and three â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you need a record to prove it.â&#x20AC;?

Evolving technology and data analytics enables the ATO to compare claims in similar occupations earning similar incomes and identifying people claiming things like home to work travel or trips not required as part of your occupation.

You also canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t claim expenses you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for, including when your employer provided the vehicle or reimbursed your expenses, including under a salary sacrifice arrangement or novated lease.

For most taxpayers travelling to work is not an allowable deduction no matter how far you reside from your workplace.

However, there are exceptions if people travel from site to site or are required to transport bulky tools or equipment if their employer does not provide secure on-site storage.

Workers who are entitled to claim a deduction must keep accurate records â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see your tax agent or download the ATO app and use the My Deductions tool.

At the end of the financial year data, can be sent directly to your tax agent or uploaded directly into myTax.

KEY FIXTURE: South is back at the QEO tomorrow.

SPORT

sport@bendigopublishing.com

Big test for Bloods

By JOEL PETERSON

SOUTH Bendigo coach Brady Childs has stopped short of describing this weekend’s clash with Gisborne as a must-win for his side, but isn’t understating its importance to the Bloods’ BFNL fortunes.

South sits half a game behind the sixth-placed Bulldogs heading into tomorrow’s clash at the QEO and has been inconsistent to start the season.

Encouraging performances against Kyneton and Golden Square have been in contrast to disappointing showings against Sandhurst and Eaglehawk, and the Bloods were soundly beaten to the tune of 82 points by Strathfieldsaye last weekend.

“They’re the best side we’ve played,” Childs said of the Storm this week.

“Strath and Eaglehawk are both really, really good, but I think Strath spread a bit harder and more effective-

ly away from the contest.”

Ramping up the stakes is the form of the Dogs, which has been on a noticeable uptick.

Gisborne took down the fancied Golden Square last weekend and has Clinton Young back in full flight to add experience to an ever-improving young list.

A win for South is crucial. If the Bloods lose they could sit as many as six points outside the top five at the season’s halfway mark.

“There’s no doubt it’s a big game, in a way you can understand losing to sides like Strath and Eaglehawk given that they’re so good but we really have to beat those sides around us,” Childs said.

South will be without defender Daniel Nalder, who will miss the next fortnight through suspension.

The Bloods also need to claw back some percentage, sitting at 95 per cent through eight games 33 percent-

age points behind Gisborne (128 per cent). In a year where smashings of cellar-dwellers Maryborough, Castlemaine and Kangaroo Flat are almost guaranteed, percentage will be king in deciding the finals race.

Those percentage woes have been compounded by a continued lack of scoring, South averaging just 76.25 points per game.

“I think there’s been some execution issues there in terms of scoring, but we have turned the footy over when attacking and sides have taken it the other way on us and we’ve been a bit slow to react to that,” he said.

“I think that contested part of the game is always key but against a side like Gisborne even more so.”

In other BFNL round nine games, Kangaroo Flat hosts Strathfieldsaye, Golden Square is at home against Kyneton, Castlemaine takes on Sandhurst at Camp Reserve and the winless Maryborough is up against Eaglehawk.

Welsford’s tour honours THE stars have shone bright in the Bendigo District Cycling Club’s Merv Dean Memorial Tour, with two big names proving their credentials with a striking display.

Track world champion Sam Welsford took overall honours in the tour ahead of Luke Plapp and Welsford’s Bendigo Madison-winning teamate Kelland O’Brien.

Shepparton’s Brad Norton was in a group of three that broke clear to win the opening stage into Harcourt on Saturday, 29 seconds ahead of the peloton including both Welsford and O’Brien.

The madison-winning teammates then showed their brilliance against the clock on stage two, running the quinella on the 12-kilometre time trial loop at Bridgewater to take control of the race.

The line honours were swapped on stage three, with Welsford winning a bunch sprint to the line at Bridgewater ahead of a six-man group including youngster Julian Thomson, O’Brien and Tim Decker.

The race then came down to the final criterium stage at Huntly. With O’Brien and Welsford in close quarters atop the general classification

the attacks were sure to come, and it was Welsford who was able to gain significant time.

He attacked with a group of seven riders, including stage winner Russell Gill, who broke clear and took close to 50 seconds from the chasing bunch.

That was enough to build Welsford’s advantage into a decisive one. O’Brien lost 49 seconds to Welsford and Luke Plapp, conceding second place overall to Plapp.

The West Australian did finish on the podium in third, with Jordan Villiani fourth and Julian Thomson the best of the locals in fifth.

Push for a smashing sport A NEW addition to Bendigo’s sporting landscape is hoping to become a hit, with the Bendigo Squash Club introducing racquetball.

The sport is a cross between tennis and squash, played indoors but using a bouncier ball than squash and a bigger racquet. Local resident Anthony Dzioba moved to Bendigo late last year and introduced the sport at the club and it is fast catching on.

“When I moved to Bendigo and become involved in the local squash club l saw the opportunity for racquetball and wanted Bendigo to experience this great sport,” he said.

“I grew up as a squash player since a junior, and then was introduced to racquetball in my 30s.”

Dzioba said even people who had never played any racquet sports before could find racquetball as an ideal way to start.

“It is easy to keep the large

BJFL’s best up for challenge

BIG HIT: Anthony Dzioba is leading the racquetball charge. bouncy ball in play and have fun long rallies,” he said.

“I found it a great game as it is so easy to learn that I was able to introduce my friends to the sport and along with playing socially, plus the benefit of the great friends you make along the way.”

For those keen to try racquetball the first session in Bendigo is free.

Dzioba is inviting anyone keen to try the game to make contact with the squash club.

Proudly supporting

THE best junior footballers from Bendigo and Ballarat will battle it out for Goldfields Challenge honours at Strathfieldsaye tomorrow.

The annual challenge sees representative teams across seven grades of girls and boys football play for the Goldfields Challenge Cup. Ballarat took the honours last year but the Bendigo Junior Football League is hopeful of turning the tables at home, as it did in 2014 and 2016.

The rivalry dates back 33 years between the two competitions and has been backed by La Trobe University.

The BJFL interleague

program is conducted in conjunction with the AFL Central Victoria academy, led by Strathfieldsaye Storm captain Kallen Geary.

AFL Central Victoria’s Jake McLean thanked all those involved in the academy and interleague programs.

“This professional program continues to improve and develop each year, so thank you to all involved, especially the coaches and officials for providing so much support for the program,” he said.

“Also, a big thank you to all families for getting players to trainings, games and supporting our academy.”

Matches start on the dual ovals at Strathfieldsaye’s Tannery Lane Sports Complex at 10am with the under-12 boys running concurrently with the under-14 boys match.

The under-13 and under-15 boys games will follow before the under-16 boys and under-16 and under-18 youth girls matches to round out the day from 2.10pm and 2.30pm respectively.

Those attending the matches should note that there is no access to Tannery Lane from Strathfieldsaye Road, and a detour is in place onto Ryalls Lane, Guys Hill Road and then to Tannery Lane.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is commemorated each year on 15 June to highlight one of the worst manifestations of ageism and inequality in our society, elder abuse.

Elder abuse is any act which causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know and trust such as a family member or friend. The abuse may be physical, social, financial, psychological or sexual and can include mistreatment and neglect.

Junior Braves take title BENDIGO has taken out another junior basketball national title, with the under-16 boys team winning gold at last weekend’s National Junior Classic in Melbourne.

The Ben McCauley-coached team routed Hills Hornets in the final 7152, led by a brilliant performance from Dyson Daniels.

Daniels poured in 34 points in an MVP display to lead the Braves to their second junior classic title.

Bendigo’s intensity in the grand final was in complete contrast to its first match of the tournament, when the side was well beaten by the same Hornets team.

“This team scored 88 points against us the first time we played them,” McCauley said.

“But we changed how we went about it… we did something simple and played defence. Our group has no trouble scoring, we needed to play defence and we did.”

Bendigo upped its defensive intensity from the tip-off in the rematch, working harder on the defensive glass, limiting possessions and ultimately putting the Hornets on the backfoot.

The Hornets turned to their star guard Eion Fitzgerald to provide any respite.

The Hornets guard had been the player of the tournament, averaging 30 points per contest in the lead-up to the grand final.

Despite Fitzgerald’s 27 points, with an incredible seven three-pointers, it wasn’t enough to keep the Hornets flickering hopes for victory alive.

Braves centre Jackson Fletcher continued his phenomenal tournament as he dominated the glass on both ends and played a key role in the win.

Bulleen, Eltham, Nunawading and Melbourne were the Victorian associations to win classic titles.

Spirit guard calls time out

By JOEL PETERSON

HEATHER Oliver spent the earliest years of her basketball life walking a few hundred metres to and from a basketball court in a paddock on the family farm at Wangaratta.

Now, after seven seasons in the WNBL and a journey that has taken her across Australia and abroad, the Bendigo Spirit fan favourite is walking away from national level competition.

The energetic Oliver has been a Spirit mainstay in her seven WNBL seasons, renowned for her athleticism and sometimes reckless abandon in contesting the ball.

She says that trait developed on the farm, where her parents placed the court in the back paddock so they couldn’t hear the fights between Heather and her two older brothers Scott and Blair.

“Growing up with the boys I probably had to fight for things a bit more and that probably came through in the way I played I guess,” she said this week.

“I think mum and dad were pretty smart having the court down the back so they couldn’t hear the yelling. There were a fair few times where someone was getting chased around the dam after the game didn’t go to plan.”

After recent seasons without much on-court success and increasing work and sport commitments off of it, Oliver has decided the time is right to call a close her basketball career – for now.

“It’s been a bit of a grind over the past few years and I probably lost that passion for it a bit,” she said this week.

“I’ve loved basketball and I’ve always been that person that’s enjoyed keeping busy, but I’m getting married on November and I guess I’ve realised I need to focus on my life outside sport.”

Oliver has always been one to juggle commitments, playing netball throughout her junior and

FAN FAVOURITE: Heather Oliver is walking away from basketball. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN senior basketball career.

More recently she has taken up coaching Sandhurst in Bendigo netball alongside Tamara Gilchrist as well as playing in the Victorian Netball League.

“I guess ever since I was a kid and I was playing netball Saturday mornings and playing basketball in the afternoons it’s just something that I’ve become used to,” she said.

“I wish I’d played VNL a bit earlier because I really enjoyed that. But with coaching and still trying to meet those WNBL commitments with VNL in there as well it was pretty tiring.”

Basketball even took Oliver

to the United States for several years. She spent a year at junior college in Arizona before making the Australian youth team and impressing scouts so much she secured a place on scholarship at the famed USC campus in Los Angeles.

“That was a pretty awesome experience. Going from being a teenager on the farm at Wangaratta to moving to LA was pretty eye-opening,” she said.

“I loved it, just the friends you made along the way and those relationships – I had an old coach come and watch a practice match before the Spirit season last year – that’s the kind of stuff you take

away from that.”

She’s also formed “lifelong friendships” with Spirit teammates like Gabe Richards, Kelly and Andrea Wilson and Kelsey Griffin, just to name a few.

But one of her most important relationships has been with the Bendigo crowds.

“I could never get sick of the ‘Ollie, Ollie, Ollie’ chants. They always brought a bit of a smile to my face to know I had that support,” she said.

“I’ll miss that, and who knows I might come back and play Braves one day, but for now I’m looking forward to taking it easy a bit more.”

Bendigo returns home for clash THE Bendigo Braves return to their home court tonight when they take on Canberra in round 10 of the South East Australian Basketball League season.

The game has extra importance for the Braves men, who are looking to get their season back on track with a win.

It’s a win that they should be all but guaranteed of given the Gunners are 0-10, but the recent form of the side – losing four of its past five matches – could lead to any outcome.

Meantime the unbeaten Braves women are eyeing off their 11th victory of the season against the 5-5 Capitals.

There has already been some good news for the team this week, with Kelly Wilson and Megan Moody dominating the league’s monthly awards.

Wilson took player of the month honours for May while Moody

was named coach of the month in guiding the Braves to the 10-0 start.

Wilson has recorded some ye-popping numbers, with 16.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 2.8 steals per game for May. Her 10.8 assists per game are double that of any other player in the competition.

Moody has expertly guided the team in her first season at the helm, helped by the form of Wilson and Nadeen Payne but also playing a key role in the development of Maddie Wild and Kara Tessari.

Tonight’s games start at 6pm with the Braves women up against the Capitals before the Braves men play the Gunners from 8pm.

AIMING HIGH: Ray Turner and the Braves are looking to get back on the winners list against the lowly Gunners.

New home for Tigers By joel peterson

THE Queen Elizabeth Oval will host a state league double-header on Sunday as the Bendigo Pioneers and Richmond’s VFL Women’s team each host matches at the ground.

The Pioneers return to action after being narrowly beaten by the Western Jets a fortnight ago, while Richmond is coming off a thumping win over Essendon.

The Pioneers face Murray Bushrangers while Richmond plays the North Melbourne-aligned Melbourne University.

Richmond has previously held training sessions in Bendigo and has a connection to the area through its AFL Next Generation Academy zone.

The Tigers also have several former Bendigo Thunder players among their ranks, including captain Jess Kennedy, ruck Jac Louttit, midfielder Emily Findlay and forward Elise Hogan.

Hard-running defender Jacqui Graham and Pheobe Monahan have also been in strong form for the Tigers.

Kennedy said the team is looking forward to showcasing the VFLW in Bendigo.

“It’ll be great to get back to Bendigo and play

at what I think is the best ground in country Victoria,” she said.

“Many of the girls come from, or have played a lot of footy in the region, so it’s a great opportunity to play in front of family and friends.”

Both the Tigers and Melbourne Uni have stacks of AFLW talent, including 2018 league best and fairest Emma Kearney.

The Tigers’ list boasts the likes of Collingwood trio Emma King, Lauren Tesoreiro and Amelia Barden while Kearney is joined by the Western Bulldogs premiership star Monique Conti and North Melbourne recruits Ash Riddell and Kate Gillespie-Jones.

Kennedy is hopeful the Tigers can continue their recent winning form come Sunday.

“Melbourne Uni will be tough, they have come up against quality teams early in the year, so their ladder position is definitely not indicative of the quality of players on their list,” she said.

“From our end, it was awesome to play well and get the result against Essendon in Dreamtime game, but we’ll be looking to be better again.”

The Pioneers’ match kicks proceedings off at 12pm, with the VFL Women’s game from 2.30pm.

South eyes win to boost top five hopes MUST-WIN games are rare half way through a season, but South Bendigo faces a vital match tomorrow. The Bloods take on Gisborne in a battle of

sixth and seventh on the BFNL table. A win would keep South in the hunt while a loss would put it six points outside the finals mix. – Story Page 29
