Students stoke up climate change debate YEAR eight school students Milou Albrecht and Harriet O’Shea Carre believe it is their job to tell the major political parties they are scared of the consequences of rising temperatures through climate change. So the pair from Castlemaine Steiner School

decided to make them aware by making their presence, and that of as many other students who want to, felt outside the Bendigo electoral offices of Nationals deputy leader Bridget McKenzie and Labor MP Lisa Chesters. “They are denying climate

change is an emergency,” Harriet said about the response of the major parties.

“Part of it is they don’t like the solution,” she said. Their protest will continue outside Ms Chester’s Williamson Street office today from 10am.

In 2020, the famous Melbourne Cup will be made from Bendigo gold sourced from the nearby Fosterville mine, the success of which stands to renew central Victoria’s reputation as one of the world’s richest goldfields.

The Sydney-based firm that makes the Melbourne Cup will use more than 1.6 kg of 18 carat gold from the mine, 20 kilometres east of Bendigo, worth more than $200,000 at today’s gold price.

It comes as Fosterville wins a

second industry award this year on the back of exploration success that has enabled it to report a gold reserve of 1.7 million ounces.

Internationally, the gold sector is waiting for Fosterville’s owner, Canadian company Kirkland Lake Gold, to add to that reserve early next year.

After being named the Australian Mining Prospect Awards’ Mine of the Year, vice president of Aus-

tralian operations Ian Holland said, “I think there’s more to come at Fosterville; I think we have only just tapped the edge”.

“It will be one of the great orebodies (and) great mines of the world, to be completely frank,” Mr Holland said.

“Really, really importantly, many of the employees that have been there from the start are still there, and they have seen that

journey emerge.”

It is likely many of those more than 500 employees will be able to say in two year’s time they made the Melbourne Cup. The trophy is one of the few in the world that is still handmade, a process of handspinning gold and putting together the 44 pieces that make up the cup that takes about 250 hours.

ABC Bullion has been contract-

ed since 2016 to make the cup.

The firm is also a buyer of gold, and produces bullion through its refinery.

The contract with ABC meant the Melbourne Cup was made mined, refined, and crafted wholly in Australia for the first time in its 150-year history.

Known as the Loving Cup, the trophy’s three handles symbolise the relationship between the winning jockey, trainer and owner and its timber base is hand-turned from Australian Jarrah. Continued Page 2

BENDIGO locals will have better access to free water this summer with the installation of six new water fountains thanks to a grant from the state government.

The fountains are being installed as part of a partnership between City of Greater Bendigo, the state government and VicHealth to ensure locals get access to free, healthy, fresh water at popular sport and recreation areas such as Lake Weeroona.

The new fountains will also include a tap for refilling water bottles in an effort to reduce the amount of single-use plastic bottles being used in the area.

Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said the government was pleased to partner with the council and VicHealth to help make the healthy choice the easy choice for locals.

“It’s really important we stay hydrated, particularly as the weather heats up and

we’re out and about getting active,” Ms Edwards said.

“We want to encourage locals to choose tap water instead of sugary drinks.

Water is great for us, free and now even more accessible.”

VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said the new fountains were part of an effort to make water the drink of choice in Greater Bendigo.

“There’s a common misconception that we need to drink sports drinks when we’re getting active to rehydrate when actually water is the best choice,” Ms Rechter said.

“A standard 600 millilitre sports drink contains a whopping 11 teaspoons of sugar. Too much sugar in our diets can lead to a range of health issues such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.”

Three new water fountains have been installed at Lake Weeroona, one at Weeroona Oval and two at North Bendigo Oval.

THE City of Greater Bendigo is seeking young people who want a stronger voice in the community to consider being part of a new City of Greater Bendigo youth council.

Greater Bendigo mayor Margaret O’Rourke said the formation of a youth council aimed to engage with young people in the decision making process for the future.

It is also a key action in the council’s youth strategy launched earlier this year.

“Young people are the future of our community and the formation of a youth council will provide them with the opportunity to learn about local government and to voice their opinions to create change,” Cr O’Rourke said.

“There are approximately 18,700 young people currently living in Greater Bendigo and this number is expected to rise to 25,900 by 2036.

“It’s therefore very important for the City to connect with, and listen to our young people about their priority issues and empower them to be involved in the decision making that impacts on their lives.”

Cr O’Rourke said the Youth Council would be representative of young people and encourage diversity in membership.

It will report to the mayor and councillors on the views of young people about the City’s plans and program that impact on them and the mayor and councillors will provide members of the youth council with mentoring and support.

Youth Council members will also represent young people at civic events and activities.

“This is a completely new initiative and we are looking for up to 18 young people aged from 14 to 24 to participate.

“It’s a great opportunity for young people who want a stronger voice in our community to meet others with similar interests and ideas, build their leadership skills and develop the knowledge and abilities to affect change,” Cr O’Rourke said.

To obtain an application form or for more information visit www. yobendigo.com.au or contact the City of Greater Bendigo’s youth development team on 5434 6092.

Fosterville gold set to make Melbourne Cup From Page 1 Fosterville was also digger of the year at the prestigious Diggers and Dealers mining conference this year held in Kalgoorlie.

High grades mined in 2017 meant the Bendigo mine outperformed all other gold mines in the world.

In the fourth quarter, Fosterville had the most impressive grade with 21.5 grams of gold per tonne of milled ore, according to industry news website Mining.com.

Combined with a cash cost of $US226 per ounce, the next cheapest producing in Burkina Faso at $US441 per ounce, caused the news site to described Fosterville as “one of the world’s most remarkable underground gold mines right now”.

The Victorian government announced this week it had extended Fosterville’s mining licence until 2035.

GBM Gold back on track Cash injection secures future business

By SHARON KEMP

OWNER of mining rights over Bendigo’s goldfield, GBM Gold has been pulled out of financial trouble thanks to $3 million from its biggest shareholder after a separate investor failed to settle a $2.75M capital investment.

GBM will now be able to pay a deferred bond payment to the previous owner of its project, Unity Mining.

In a statement lodged with the Australian Stock Exchange, the company said it would also use the proceeds for working capital.

It is about to start treating fine sands at the project, based at Kangaroo Flat, from which it hopes to secure a source of income.

The company has also reopened access to the underground orebody which they hope to start mining within two to three years.

In the meantime, GBM has relied on raising capital for working expenses.

It was queried by the ASX in May on its ability to continue funding operations given that it had in-

sufficient cash to sustain quarterly spending.

The company said at the time it was in negotiations to raise capital.

After announcing the initial $2.75M capital investment on October 4, the company put shares in a trading halt five days later where they remained until last Thursday when the withdrawal of the investment and the loan were announced.

“GBM Gold is exploring a range of capital raising activities for the

repayment of the loan,” the ASX statement said.

The loan matures after four months and is unsecured.

“The company’s strategy to maximise the value of the Bendigo assets is now being realised,” said the statement.

“Tailings stored in the Kangaroo Flat course sand dam will be the first project mined.

“The gold processing equipment is in the final phases of commissioning.

Carnival time at the Bendigo Cup

City still on pilot shortlist

SPRING came to Bendigo this week just in time for a perfect day at the races. Red Alto took the honours in the feature race, but a crowd of about 7000 had a victory of their own. Blue skies and plenty of racing on the cards made everyone a winner.

“The project is expected to take two to three years to complete.

“Mining will commence immediately after completion.”

Activities for the December quarter include rehabilitating the Woodvale Evaporation Ponds which have a source of contention with community interests since before GBM took over the project.

The company said it would rehabilitate according to an audit ordered by resources minister Tim Pallas to appease consistent warnings from the community about the lack of a plan, and uncertainty about levels of toxicity.

BENDIGO’S bid to be the second location for a Qantas pilot training academy was boosted this week by Tamworth’s effective withdrawal from the race.

The New South Wales regional city has accepted a deal to host a flight academy with Virgin Australia.

Tamworth was one of eight sites being considered by Qantas for a second academy, and was considered a frontrunner given infrastructure at the airfield.

Qantas has already chosen Queensland city Toowoomba as its first location.

Bendigo remains an option for Qantas but it faces competition from Dubbo, Alice Springs, Busselton, Launceston, Mackay and Wagga Wagga.

Tamworth mayor Col Murray, quoted by ABC New England, said the facilities there were not fit for the training proposal Qantas had proposed, making Virgin the better candidate for the city.

In a statement, Qantas Group Pilot Academy executive manager Wes Nobelius welcomed the move by Virgin Australia to expand its training school.

“We’ve already announced our first pilot academy location at Toowoomba and are progressing a second location from a list of seven remaining shortlisted cities,” he said.

In 2008, the tradition was

inscribed in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The Cantina restaurant in Bendigo is hosting the event and HUDV is preparing a traditional Mexican altar to celebrate the Day of the Dead.

There will be a table for

children to draw and entertain themselves and there will be a face painter from 3pm to 6pm.

THERE’S just four weeks to go until the ninth annual Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch prostate cancer fundraiser, and organisers hope to attract a record crowd to hear from legendary country trainer Darren Weir.

Weir will be joined in conversation with his good mate and fellow racing identity, Bendigo’s own Ric McIntosh, in what should be a thoughtful, insightful and entertaining highlight of the annual fundraising event.

McIntosh is renowned throughout the racing world for his colourful and unique calls, and he has earned cult status among the jumps racing fraternity for his efforts at the annual Warrnambool carnival.

Speaking to the Bendigo Weekly on Monday, McIntosh said he was looking forward to talking with the popular trainer, who he also works with at Weir’s stunning Trevenson Park training facility at Baringhup, near Maldon.

“I’ve done some ripping shows with Darren,” McIntosh said.

“I know him well enough and he’ll trust me to run it and to lead him the right way… he’s a lad and he’s got a great story to tell.”

As a horse trainer, Weir is seemingly invincible, having been named Country Trainer of the Year for 14 years in succession, and he enjoys a phenomenal strike rate that is the envy of the horse racing world.

“He’s on target for 600 winners this year,” McIntosh said.

Bendigo’s Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch will be held at Bendigo Stadium on Friday, November 23, and this year includes a sit down lunch for all guests, as well as drinks and entertainment, auctions, raffles and afternoon tea.

Tickets for the Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch cost just $120, or $1200 for a table of 10, and are selling fast. Tickets are available through the Ticketek website www.ticketek.com.au and search for Bendigo. Tickets can also be purchased from any Ticketek outlet.

Greens in bush battle

By SHARON KEMP

THE Bush Users Group United is making broadcast ads directly targeting “green activists” and opposing proposed changes to the use of the Wellsford forest that it is preparing to show in the lead up to the state election.

But Greens lead candidate for northern Victoria Nicole Rowan has accused the group of directly attacking candidates through social media, and of leading a campaign based on personal interest rather than evidence-based science.

BUGU executive Bill Schulz said the group had grown to more than 11,000 facebook members this year as the Victorian Environmental Assessment Commission carried out consultations and accepted submissions as it investigated public land in the central west of Victoria, in-

cluding the Wellsford Forest.

TV ads were filmed last Friday in the Wellsford forest at Tresize Track and included horse riders, prospectors, trail bike riders, dog walkers, hunters and firewood collectors.

In its draft proposals, VEAC wants to see half of the forest added to the Greater Bendigo Regional Park and the remainder become a designated nature reserve where prospecting, dogs, horse riding and timber collection would be banned.

The commission delayed the deadline for submissions responding to the proposals until after the state election, timing that has seen the investigation become politicised, according to Ms Rowan.

BUGU is claiming access to the nature reserve section of the Wellsford is in jeopardy if Labor was to join with the Greens to lead Victoria after the next election.

The group’s ads are calling for VEAC to “get the green activists out of the bush”.

“This is a dictatorship, they just say sorry, we are changing the rules and regulations,” Ms Schulz said, referring to the state government’s referral of public land for investigation.

“A lot of people are fed up with it, there are too many things getting done behind closed doors, they are not consulting with the people and even if people do complain, it just snowballs, goes straight over the top and keeps going.

“This is an area where you can do everything, it is a place for everybody.”

Prospectors and Miners Association Bendigo branch president Lynnie Hindle said the Wellsford was the main hub for firewood collection, and helped people with

heating who could not afford gas or electric powered sources.

“This is our stomping ground around here, this is the biggest box ironbark forest in the southern hemisphere, we don’t know why they want to lock it up,” Ms Hindle said.

“I agree commercial loggers shouldn’t be coming in here, it should be for domestic use for residents of the City of Greater Bendigo, for people who don’t have mains gas.”

Nationals Bendigo East candidate Gaelle Broad has joined BUGU’s call to keep the Wellsford open.

“We believe that public land is just that, public land, and it should be managed so that all Victorians can enjoy its natural beauty regardless of whether they are horse riding, prospecting, camping, hiking,

or four-wheel driving,” Ms Broad said.

“We should be supporting our gold prospectors and the opportunities prospecting provides to grow international tourism, not restricting people from doing it.”

But Ms Rowan said BUGU’s facebook campaign which targetted some candidates was unhelpful and “didn’t engender good will”.

The Greens want better protection for the forest and are proposing a specific management plan and extra funding for Parks Victoria.

The City of Greater Bendigo submitted that it wants to see the Wellsford become a National Park which would further the controls that VEAC is suggesting.

Ms Rowan said the Greens would finalise its position after the election but the VEAC proposal was a step in the right direction.

Humanity group gears up for bike recycling THE Bendigo Tennis Centre was covered in bikes last week, but it was all for a good cause.

ABC Central Victoria presenter Derek Guille used a live broadcast to spruik the good work of Bicycles for Humanity and listeners were encouraged to bring in their old bikes for repurposing.

The volunteers collect good used bikes and spare parts into

Bicycles for Humanity Victoria’s container load of Bicycles for Africa.

Since they started in 2008, they have shipped almost 4500 good used bikes – and spare parts – to Namibia, Uganda and Malawi.

The donated bicycles are refurbished, giving employment to local citizens.

AdvErtiSEMEnt

Once repaired and shipped, the bikes are sold for modest amounts to the locals.

Co-director of the organisation Chris Wille said a portion of the bikes are donated to organisations that serve the poor.

“Any profits from the bike sales are put back into the program and to fund an orphanage,” he said.

“We at Bicycles for Humanity are grateful for all the bike donations from all over the Greater Victoria area.”

“Our work will continue until the early part of 2019 when we gear up to collect bikes for our 11th container load.”

BENDIGO and Adelaide Bank chairman Robert Johanson noted the gender equal makeup of the board at the bank’s annual general meeting this week.

Welcoming shareholders and former directors to the meeting, Mr Johanson said the first female director, Jenny Dawson, was at the meeting.

“Her sex was a notable feature when she started, but no longer,” he said.

Women now made up “half of the voting members of the board which is worth noting, and then forgetting”.

Mr Johanson has signalled he will not serve as chairman beyond the end of his tenure which expires next year. He is likely to name a successor before then.

Mr Johanson also spoke about the drought, particularly in relation to how environmental conditions affected farms and their business.

He said banks needed to have a longer term view for agriculture than for other sectors.

Lending practices to a number of Queensland farmers saw the bank come under the scrutiny of the Financial Services Royal Commision this year.

Managing director Marnie Baker said the royal commission had led to a challenging year for banks from which Bendigo Bank was well positioned to benefit because it retained customer trust.

Mr Johanson addressed the findings from the Productivity Commission, noting the competitive disadvantage of non-major banks in the absence of a level playing field.

“It has been said that in Australia we really only have one major bank; it just operates under four different colours,” he said.

“If trust in banking is to be restored, it is crucial that organisations with different objectives and standards are able to compete on a level playing field and customers can choose accordingly.”

THE Coalition has promised to reduce payroll tax to one per cent in regional Victoria, an offer that has won praise from the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Labor, while in government, has made two successive cuts to the regional payroll tax.

VCCI chief executive Mark Stone AM said the measure reduces the cost of doing business outside of Melbourne, but he would like to see further increases to the threshold at which the reduced tax applies.

“Victoria’s payroll tax threshold remains the worst in Australia with more small businesses captured by Victoria’s anti-jobs payroll tax than any other state,” Mr Stone said.

“Other states exclude more small businesses from the payroll tax because they know that small business provides the most jobs.

“While the rate cut is welcome, if (Liberals leader) Matthew Guy and (Labor leader) Daniel Andrews are serious about creating more opportunities for business and jobs, they will commit to increasing the payroll tax threshold.”

Labor this week made claims it was boosting jobs in central Victoria, claiming its investment in business during its term would see Southern Phone Company build a second office in Bendigo and the Australian Turntable Co expand its Kangaroo Flat factory, together creating 45 new jobs.

Coalition aims to reduce payroll tax

Labor promises a healthier future LABOR released last weekend its election promises in the health sector, including an increase in the number of specialist appointments in Bendigo.

Of the extra 500,000 specialist appointments Labor has promised in regional areas, $27,000 worth will occur in Bendigo if the government is returned.

The funding will go to Bendigo Health to spend along with the commitment to deliver the appointments that could be conducted through the digital telehealth platform or by incentivising specialists to visit or move to the area.

Labor estimates private specialist appointments cost between $175 and $565.

“This is not just 500,000 appointments – it’s 500,000 opportunities for assessment and treatment for patients and their families,” health minister Jill

LIBERAL VIEW: Ian Ellis.

Hennessy said at the announcement.

In central Victoria, the coali-

tion has promised funding for the Dingee Bush Nursing Centre for the next two years.

Liberals Bendigo East candidate Ian Ellis said the centre would get an additional $10,000 each years for the next two years to secure services while the funding structure for bush nursing centres was reviewed.

“This funding will make sure nurses and support staff can continue to deliver essential primary health services to our community,” Mr Ellis said.

In Rochester and Inglewood, Labor has promised dual ambulance officer stations and Bendigo will also get more paramedics.

The incumbent government has also promised to recruit more nurses and midwives and establish a workforce development fund to retain employees in those two occupations.

STATE ELECTION 2018

Roads fix in the mix THE Murphy Street and Strickland Road roundabout will be modified for trucks under Labor’s first round of a $100 million program allocating money to councils to fix regional roads.

But the Coalition is promising to spend a $1 billion more on regional roads over the next decade.

The incumbent Labor government has set up Regional Roads Victoria this year with a total bank of $941m.

In greater Bendigo, the funding includes fixes to the Calder Highway north of Marong and in the city itself under round one of funding, to rebuilding the East Bendigo roundabout on Strickland Road which is also an important arterial road on the north south Napier Street already under construction and disrupting businesses in White Hills.

The roundabout modification work must be completed by June 2019 which means it will go on at the same time as the Napier Street construction.

The independent Calder Highway Improvement Committee has called on all candidates to commit before the election to planning and constructing a bypass of Marong near Bendigo, among other works.

The Coalition’s plan is to develop a program of works for VicRoad each year based on input from the community.

It says a total of $400m will be dedicated to country roads and bridges, another $400m for targeted road restoration and $200m for general road maintenance.

A new smart phone app allowing the public to report in real time road hazards or locations will be commissioned, the Coalition has promised.

It points to the higher proportion of road deaths each year recorded on regional roads, but the Coalition is also hoping to appeal to the squeeze on household budgets by waiving the government’s component of the cost of Red P plates.

The $295 discount is the non-TAC component of car registration. Red P platers will still have to contribute the component which includes third party compulsory insurance.

Schools on the agenda

By SHARON KEMP

SECONDARY school students and their parents are being courted by the major parties in the Victorian election.

Labor has also announced already budgeted funding for Huntly Kindergarten and Bendigo TAFE in the lead up to the poll.

The coalition has promised students will not have to buy secondary school text books, they can borrow them for the time needed.

It is part of the Liberals and Nationals bid to take the pressure off household budgets.

Labor has appealed to the desire for greater opportunity for regional secondary students, promising every VCE subject will be available to every student as part of an expansion in virtual learning.

Subjects may be as part of the Distance Education Centre Victoria, the Victorian Virtual Learning Network or the Victorian School of Languages.

Labor has promised the delivery of new subjects from the start of the first semester next year, with all new subjects to be rolled out by the end of 2021.

It could also mean schools collaborate and share learning with students in other locations.

Announcing the policy last weekend, education minister James Merlino said a new collaboration fund would create interschool partnerships between regional schools.

Labor has promised $22.6 million for the entire investment.

The Coalition estimates its textbook borrowing scheme will save students al-

Meanwhile, the City of Greater Bendigo council has been awarded a $350,000 grant to extend the Huntly Kindergarten in a project totalling $2.4M. The council is expanding the kindergarten by building another three rooms including one for kinder programs, another for maternal and child health services and another for allied health consultations.

Huntly is a fast-growing residential area of greater Bendigo and early year learning enrolments have skyrocketed in recent years in line with the influx of families into the area.

The state government has added to demand for kindergartens by promising to subsidise 15 hours of three -year-

old kinder by 2022.

It will mean adding more than 800 places in kindergartens in greater Bendigo alone, and more than 8000 across the state.

Bendigo TAFE has also been given an extra $2.3M to plug holes in skill sets in Bendigo, including in welding and horticulture.

The grant, which comes out of existing funding, includes $1.3M to train 40 students in Certificate III in Production Horticulture giving skills to start work in industries such as almonds, table fruit, vegetables, flowers and almost $1M to train 12 students in fusion welding.

Industry in Bendigo has warned about the critical shortage in welders which stands to stymy the ability to deliver critical local work.

FORUM FOR CANDIDATES A GROUP of Bendigo based not-forprofit community organisations has developed a survey for candidates running for election at the upcoming state elections.

These organisations include Bendigo Sustainability Group, Bike Bendigo and Commoners Co-op, and they have also scheduled ‘meet the candidate’ forums for both Bendigo East and West electorates.

The survey has been sent out to all participating candidates. It contains 12 questions.

Meet the candidate forums will be held for Bendigo East candidates on Wednesday, November 7 from 7.30 pm at the Strathdale Community Centre, and in Bendigo West, on Tuesday, November 13 from 7.30pm at the Kangaroo Flat Rotary Club building, located at 26 High Street, Kangaroo Flat.

LOCAL historian James Lerk received the prestigious Award of Merit from the Royal Historical Society of Victoria on Tuesday.

Mr Lerk’s impressive record of preserving and recording Bendigo’s history is a long and substantial one.

As Mr Lerk pointed out he was actually instrumental in saving our town hall – the very building in which the award ceremony took place.

The president of the Royal Historical Society, associate professor Don Garden referred to Mr Lerk as “a history and heritage warrior”.

He added that local historians such as Mr Lerk are vital to our history in terms of their local knowledge, dedication and enthusiasm.

At the well-attended ceremony, Mayor Margaaret O’Rourke said Mr Lerk has been a wonderful contributor to Bendigo, and one of its great narrators.

When accepting the Award of Merit, Mr Lerk used the occasion to urge council to continue to care for our heritage.

He expressed his admiration for the restoration of the Soldiers Memorial Institute, but said there were still battles to be won.

He also urged property owners to take care of their heritage buildings.

Mr Lerk also imparted some brief but dramatic information about Bendigo, namely that Bendigo has more shafts than any other place on earth and that apart from suffering from fatal lung diseases such as miners’ phthisis, over 800 miners died in mining accidents.

Robot scrubs in assist surgeons in optimising their accuracy and efficiency when planning and performing total knee replacement procedures.

“St John of God Bendigo Hospital is pleased to be the first institution in Australia to pioneer the use of the new knee robot for robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery and offer this innovative technology to patients in our community,” Mr Matheson said.

Orthopaedic Surgeon Dugal James was the first to use this new knee surgical robot in clinical practice on Friday.

“The technology allows a personalised surgical plan to be formulated by reviewing each individual’s bony anatomy well prior to surgery,” Dr James said.

“Based on 2D pre-operative xrays, a very accurate 3D virtual image of the knee is produced and loaded into the computer.

“The surgeon then utilises the program’s sophisticated software to formulate a precise surgical plan which, with guidance from the robotic arm, can be confidently and accurately executed during the procedure.”

Blues on way

Bendigo is preparing for the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival next weekend.

This year is shaping up to be one of the biggest yet with options for all.

On Saturday, November 10 Ulumbarra Theatre plays host to the iconic Badloves for the exclusive event Badloves in the Big House.

Supported by the likes of John McNamara Soul Band, Collard Greens and Gravy, and Spoonful, the Australian rockers will bring hits such as Green Limousine and Caroline to the former gaol.

For Saturday’s main event concert with a difference, the auditorium will be converted to a dance hall with the front 200 seats being removed to make room to boogie.

Allocated seating tickets will include a seat, so you can enjoy the show the way you want to.

Something different will feature at the Sacred Heart Cathedral on the afternoon of Sunday, November 11 with

Try Stand Up Paddleboarding Today!

the Melbourne Singers of Gospel.

Directed by Darren Wicks and inspired by the energy, rhythms and harmonies of the large gospel choirs, the soulful voices of Melbourne Singers of Gospel and the cool jazz-blues sound of Jex Saarelaht is guaranteed to lift the spirit with songs of comfort, reassurance, hope and inspiration.

Since its inception the festival has prioritised the encouragement and support of young upcoming artists, making it the perfect home for Wayne Jury’s Blues Boot Camp.

After successful runs elsewhere across Victoria, this is the workshop’s first visit to Bendigo, where four industry veterans take on a class of young musicians for two days of training, culminating in a concert event at the Capital Theatre on Friday, November 9.

This year, the festival is offering the specialised Easy Rider Festival Pass.

For just $99, Easy Riders gain entry to both The Badloves at the Big House and the Melbourne Singers of Gospel performance.

On top of that, they get waived cover charges at most other Blues Festival events that carry one, a bag full of merch, two for one vouchers for both the Blues Tram and Bendigo’s Heritage Building Tours, and an exclusive meet and greet with The Badloves.

More information about all these events and more can be found on the official website www. bendigobluesandroots.com.au.

They were both members of the military band and stretcherbearers and medics who served under fire.

Musicians served in combat in all of Australia’s wars, until the practice ceased in 1967, during the Vietnam War. The street theatre performance is supported by the state government as the final event of the four-year Anzac Centenary campaign.

By DIANNE DEMPSEY ONE of the cornerstones of religious belief in Bendigo, St Paul’s Cathedral, will celebrate its 150th anniversary between November 11 and 18.

St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral was opened as a parish church on November 12, 1868.

Having survived the building crisis between 2009 and 2016 when the cathedral was in need of radical repairs, it has not only been renovated but is flourishing under the pastoral care of the newly appointed Very Reverend Elizabeth Dyke.

Reverend Elizabeth personifies the new breed of deans and priests who bring to their pastoral care the knowledge of our contemporary cultural climate.

Indeed if you are to compare Dean Elizabeth’s visage with the venerable, bearded deans who established St Paul’s, the contrast in style and attitude is remarkable.

“We live in a different culture now,” she said. “People don’t change, but people’s needs change.

“Some people have lost touch with what it means to have a spiritual life and I believe they are actively looking for that spiritual life.”

Dean Elizabeth compared the spirit of the Invictus Games to that of a church.

“An amazing community of people came together with generosity and love,” she said.

“I think the former institution of the church let many people down but now the church is recovering and has a wider purpose.

“People are regaining confidence in God and in the services of the church.”

I am not alone when talking with Dean Elizabeth in the nave of the cathedral. People come and go continually.

The annual art exhibition has just been taken down and now the community is setting up the annual Christmas shop.

Dean Elizabeth says the congregation consists of some 200 parishioners and is growing.

There is also a significant number

Support for teachers EDUCATION Minister Tehan is either a hypocrite, or has an extremely short memory.

As the teachers consider a mass walkout on November 20 to attend a rally against offshore detention, Dan Tehan is reported, in national media, as saying, “What people do in their spare time is their own business, but parents and hardworking taxpayers expect that when teachers are being paid to teach, that they actually teach.”

Five-hundred Victorian teachers are asking our government to bring the children and their families from Nauru to Australia for permanent resettlement.

Yet schools aren’t being deserted, because teachers are asking the Australian Education Union to fund relief teachers to backfill duties On the other hand, only last November, as a government minister, Dan Tehan was party to cancelling parliament over the marriage equality bill, not for a day, but for a whole week – and with no substitute parliamentarians provided.

I say, good on the teachers, good on the doctors and other medical professionals, good on the good people of Australia for standing up for the welfare of children.

And good on those politicians who are finally re-awakening their Rip Van Winkle consciences about warehousing children.

Jan Govett, Strathdale

Fairer share for Bendigo IT’S obvious to me Bendigo is not being as well treated as our sister regional city, Ballarat, by our state government.

Ballarat’s proposed GovHub deal is so much better in every way. $100 million and 600 new government jobs; Bendigo $16M and 100 jobs.

Another example is the recent high speed rail unveiled by our Transport Minister, Jacinta Allan.

Ballarat will be one of the first to have the fast rail, with Bendigo “down the list”. This will give Ballarat a crucial advantage over Bendigo in attracting new investment and jobs.

A recent press release on a new $209M public housing initiative includes Ballarat, no mention of Bendigo.

Other examples can be cited of favourable state government assistance to Ballarat industry.

But why the preferential treatment?

Some possibilities: Maybe Ballarat politicians, business leaders, councillors and officers are better connected, more entrepreneurial, more persistent, and prepare better submissions.

Or, could it be the powerful state government bureaucrats are more closely aligned with Ballarat?

Might it be the state government recognises Bendigo has two safe Labor seats and it is more strategic to direct greater funds to the Ballarat region?

Our two state Labor politicians are silent on the issues. They don’t appear to be part of the power base directing regional policy and funding.

It’s time all of us in Greater Bendigo spoke out and demanded a fairer share of the pie.

Call to candidates THE Calder Highway Improvement Committee is an apolitical organisation, composed of regional community members and councillors and officers from all (metropolitan and rural) municipalities throughout the Calder Highway which connects Melbourne and Mildura.

The committee works harmoniously with government officers and parliamentarians to represent the views of the community and to lobby governments, where necessary, to attend to safety and capacity deficiencies in a timely manner.

Over 30 years of cooperation with VicRoads, CHIC has developed a register of known and emerging issues throughout the 600 kilometre length of the highway – representing the needs and aspirations of some 802,000 residents.

Some of these items are localised maintenance or safety matters which are routinely addressed by regional VicRoads personnel.

However, there are also issues requiring major works to overcome road network deficiencies which currently greatly inhibit regional, state, and national prosperity.

CHIC also encourages all voters to direct their preferences to candidates who assign importance to resolving major issues, affecting the safety and efficiency, on the Calder Highway which is the principal highway route in Northern Victoria.

Beware land grab RECENTLY the Victorian Environment Assessment Council released a draft report changing classification of public lands in central Victoria.

The result could see approximately 80,000 hectares of public land changing status, and in the process excluding current legal users from this land.

The driving forces behind this status change proposal include the usual grab bag of far left green activists.

The implication is that we will be locked out of large segments of public land.

People such as horse riders, trail bike riders, hunters, prospectors, dog walkers, miners, campers, four wheel drivers, fire wood collectors, apiarists, mountain bike riders, timber workers and car rally enthusiasts will be negatively affected if this VEAC report is adopted.

It’s not just central Victorian public lands under threat from green activism. The Strathbogie’s, the Emerald Link and the Great Forest are all targets on the Greens hit list. Huge areas of bushland will see partial or total lockouts.

Currently an organisation called the Bush Users Group United is fighting these proposed changes to land use in Central Victoria.

BUGU has asked all current Victorian parliamentarians where they stand in relation to locking current legal bush users out from public lands.

Responses from the Liberals, Nationals, SFF and most Independents are all positive for retaining the status quo.

They support access for all Victorians to public lands. Labor and the Greens have not responded, but appear to support locking us out.

With the upcoming Victorian election, BUGU asks all voters to think carefully about who you vote for. Do you support locking people out of the bush? Or do you support access for all? The choice is yours.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED

BAWCS currently has limited places available for volunteers at our Animal Sanctuary.

It’s not glamorous and definitely hard work so you’ll need to be physically fit.

The upside is you get to spend time with our wonderful animals.

Double track the answer ARE the citizens of Bendigo really getting value from Minister for Transport Jacinta Allan’s so called fast train services?

Back in the 70s it took about two hours to get to Melbourne, but the train stopped at Golden Square, Harcourt, Elphinstone, Taradale, Malmsbury, Riddells Creek, Clarkefield and Diggers Rest.

Regular travellers have had enough of trains stopped on our single track system, waiting for passing trains, suburban trains blocking access to Southern Cross platforms and trains slowing in normal summer heat conditions.

There is an answer. A properly constructed double track that is capable of withstanding our summer heat and a dedicated line to Southern Cross.

editorial

Tropical paradise FORMER Attorney General George Brandis made the headlines yesterday with his statement on the children detained on Nauru.

He said all children would be off the island nation before the end of the year.

To some this is long overdue, but there are others who hold the party line they should never settle in Australia because their families arrived by boat.

That policy put in place five years ago has come back to haunt our nation. First-world Australia is detaining people, including infants, indefinitely with no end in sight.

The asylum seekers/refugees came here with the hope of a better life, fleeing goodness knows what horrors to improve on their lot, and while Australia should have some control on who it lets in, surely it should have some compassion too.

At the time of the turn back the boats policy, the government had just introduced the Australian Bor-

Editorial Comment der Force. Our stern but friendly customs officers were suddenly replaced with a black-uniformed group, part military part police.

This was in addition to the Australian Federal Police whose duties were also about border and internal protection. So now we have plenty of people to keep out the asylum seekers/refugees.

The flow of boats has stopped, which can only be a good thing given the loss of life in that illegal trade, but Australia has a duty to care for those in its custody, because that is what they are.

Former prime minister Tony Abbott said this week Nauru is being unfairly portrayed as a “hell-hole” when it is in fact a “very pleasant” place. It’s a bit rich coming from a

man living where he chooses on the pay packet of a back bencher.

Sure, tropical islands are great, just ask the people of Nauru, but it’s better when you choose to be there.

Then again maybe we should not be surprised by the treatment of the children.

As the recent Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has shown, the allowance by some bodies to abuse children is almost an accepted face of Australia.

What a terrible legacy we are creating, or others are creating in our name.

Yes, we need border protection and immigration control, but not when it turns the lives of innocent children into one of stress and torture.

Let’s hope Mr Brandis’ statement becomes a reality, and Australia can face the world stage without fear of being condemned as perpetual abusers of those most vulnerable.

Interested in increasing your job readiness?

Please thank the volunteers LAST weekend I was lucky enough to ride in the Bendigo Cycling Classic, an event that raises funds for the Otis Foundation and the Bendigo Hospital Children’s Ward.

This was the second staging of the ride, and it’s one that has very quickly cemented itself as something you just want to be a part of, even if you don’t ride a bike that often.

The classic is overseen by a small bunch of dedicated volunteers who do an outstanding job of pulling together a great day out on the bike for riders of all abilities.

This year, we switched from having the start and finish line at the Tom Flood track to the heart of the CBD, and the Civic Gardens precinct around the town hall were a massive hit with us all.

It’s a great chance to get out and around Ben-

digo and the surrounding region and enjoy some spectacular scenery.

Riding a bike allows you to do that in a way that you can’t when you’re driving a car.

And if you’re reading this and thinking that this is another column about boring bloody bikes – you’re wrong.

Once again, the community will rally for a cause, and probably thousands of athletes, of all shapes, sizes, abilities and ages will dust off their running and walking shoes to support a worthy cause.

These events raise valuable funds for outstanding organisations,

In this instance, Bendigo Health is looking to put funds raised from Sunday’s fun run towards its residential care appeal, and the five aged care facilities it operates in this city.

Participating in a community event – whether

it’s a fun run, a bike ride, a car rally, a charity golf day or whatever, gives those taking part a sense of ownership of the cause they are contributing to.

It also makes the hard working volunteers and those behind the scenes feel valued and appreciated, as well as reminding us all how important it is to give.

If you’re one of the many people taking part in Sunday’s event, please take the time to say thanks to the people who have given up their time to volunteer to help make the experience a more enjoyable and successful one.

It’s amazing how a couple of polite, wellchosen words, or a simple wave of appreciation, can make such a difference.

Steve Kendall

Mixing with the media I WAS on the wireless with Derek Guille this week.

He’s back on ABC Central Victoria for a while, and I have had a regualar slot on the morning show for a few years now, so he inherited me.

Derek is one of those stalwarts of radio, now in semi retirement, who rules the airwaves when he’s on.

In the past when I used to work in Moonee Ponds, many an evening drive home was accompanied by Derek on the radio, so I felt I knew him already when we finally met on air.

Of course I have seen him arround, once recently he was in a book event audience I was hosting.

Not only did I have to worry about not upsetting the guest Mike Carlton, I had to be aware Derek was keeping his eye on me.

The long suffering Mrs Kendall has a name for my dabbling in the star circuit, but unfortunately I can’t use the term here.

Needless to say, it’s not complimentary towards me.

The Bendigo Writers Festival is my favourite time of year, I usually get to host an event or two and I love it.

The best bit is the audience is not watching me, they are watching the guest, so I can get away with any minor slip-ups.

The closest I have come to any problems was during my interview

with Tony Jones, he of Q&A fame.

He mentioned his partner/ wife Sarah Ferguson was in the audience.

Now, I am a bit in awe of Sarah, so the knowledge that this A-class journo was watching my every move floored me, but not flawed me, see what I did there?

I later found out my boss Kennedy was in the audience, but sorry PK, Ferguson scared me more.

This year at the festival I got to speak with Bob Carr. For some reason he was dumped from the Brisbane Writers Festival, but their loss was our gain.

I had very short notice to read his book, but did it and spent a very enjyoyable hour with the former foreign minister and premier of New South Wales.

Where is this heading? I hear you ask, apart from a lot of selfserving name dropping, it’s to let some regular readers know about my life aside from the sheep, yes I do have one.

I spend a few hours at the Weekly shuffling pages, but I muscle in on the other media scene whenever I can.

I fully deserve the name my wife calls me, but I am really sorry but I still can’t tell you what it is.

And while we are here, news from the farm scene. We bought three merino rams last week, Mrs K is in love with sheep and wool.

Those awful Bendigo Yarn Bombers might just have a point.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, November 2, 2018

Art on display STUDENTS graduating in the VCAL learning area of Kalianna School have been enjoying the rush and anticipation of finishing their art in time to enter their work in the public exhibition at Dudley House Gallery.

Students are presenting work on the theme of Inside Out. The students have produced a range of work including digital imagery, printmaking, animation, interactive sculpture and performance art.

Students’ art pieces explore the concepts of identity and the experience of living as a young person with a disability in Bendigo.

This is their first experience of exhibiting in a public art space, and the event will give students a chance to express themselves in a positive way to the Bendigo Community.

Students are taking charge of all facets of the exhibition, from producing artwork to staffing the gallery during the actual exhibition.

They have also worked through the year to raise funds for the show, holding monthly barbecues at Bunnings in Epsom.

The students will hold an opening event this evening from 6.30pm to 8pm.

The exhibition runs until November 13, opening weekdays from 10am to 2pm, and is open to the public free of charge.

INSIDE OUT: Kalianna students will display their work. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN The event is supported by Capital Events, Axis Employment, Access Employment, the Bendigo Stadium Community Fund and Officeworks Bendigo.

A new range of designer tiles

OUTHERN Cross Ceramics are now manufacturing the new range of Artisan, Infinity and Anthology tiles.

These tiles exemplify luxury and are made right here in Victoria.

Inspired by traditional encaustic cement tiles, Artisan has the look and feel of a handmade product.

Each piece varies slightly in pattern and texture. This is part of the beauty and rustic character of the design.

Artisan is a wall and floor product, doesn’t require sealing and is suitable for splash-backs, wet areas and outdoor areas.

It even has an Australian Standard nonslip rating of R10.

Infinity is a collection of designs made to create a textural feature wall in your home.

Twelve patterns and one plain are all available in 24 colours with each colour

carefully crafted to match popular fashion and current floor tile colours.

The Anthology series is where pressed metal meets porcelain influenced by the high demand of the pressed metal trend.

Six designs are available in 16 designer colours and can be used in bathrooms, feature walls, splashbacks and low traffic residential floors.

Samples of all three series can be viewed at Tile and Carpet Court’s showroom, alternatively you can view them along with the entire Southern Cross range on the Southern Cross Ceramics interactive visualiser at www.scceramics.com These tiles and many more are available from Tile and Carpet Court at Shop 4, 5 Kennedy Street, Bendigo, open from 8.30am until 5pm weekdays and 8.30am until 12.30pm Saturday.

Ziptrak for indoors or out

ITH more than 30 years’ experience in the blind industry, Brian from Central Victoria Blinds & Awnings, offers a professional retail, installation and repair service to home owners and builders alike with a range of blinds and awnings including the increasingly popular Ziptrak Exterior and Interior blinds.

The Ziptrak exterior system allows you to use your outdoor area year round, insulated against the elements including unwanted insects, mozzies and flys.

The beauty of this system is that it also connects the indoors to the outdoors with the patented Ziptrak balanced spring system as simple as pulling the blind either up or down, while stopping at any point.

There are no gaps, no zips, cords, ropes or wires.

While for interior applications the new Ziptrak Interior range brings the simplicity of the original Ziptrack system indoors with a range of discreet blinds with superior insulation, leading child safety and fingertouch operation.

Ideal for the bedroom or home cinema room, the Interior system is the perfect choice with a range of translucent or blockout fabrics.

And since the blind sits within a side track, there are no light gaps present at either side of the blind, unlike most other types of blinds.

For a free measure and quote either on site or off the plan, Brian is only a phone call away on 0418 506 542.

ICKMAN’S Supasuk has been operating for more than 20 years throughout central Victoria, with Brett Hickman and his crew providing an often necessary, professional service at a realistic price.

“We have been professionally vacuum cleaning roof gutters, spouts, down-pipes, storm-water pits and drains for years with our no mess vacuum and water jetting system,” Brett said.

Supasuk is invaluable at unblocking downpipes that can be virtually impossible when done by hand according to Brett.

“One of our new vacuum trucks has a remote control boom, designed for easy access and maintenance for those hard to reach places.”

“We now also have the capacity to check buildings and assets with our drone camera system.”

Hickman’s Supasuk can also vacuum out ceiling cavities of old inefficient insulation, dust and debris while supplying and installing new insulation, as well as cleaning your water tanks, chimneys and flues.

All employees are certified and trained for working at heights and in confined spaces and use the latest working at heights safety systems.

“We also employ local residents and out-source materials from local businesses and use local subcontractors,” Brett said.

Hickmans are also a preferred and trusted contractor to many of the region’s councils and government departments throughout country Victoria.

Spirit back in focus to win From Page 24 Perth scored 12 points from turnovers compared to Bendigo’s two, while against Adelaide the Spirit managed 15 points from turnovers to Adelaide’s 14.

Pritchard said the Spirit was still learning how to adjust its game to suit recently arrived star import Barb Turner, and allow her to have a stronger influence on court.

“We’re going to have to tweak some of our offences this week.”

The dominance and

SPORT • 23

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

consistency of star players Louella Tomlinson, Nadeen Payne and Natalie Hurst have been a vital ingredient in each match, and coach Pritchard will be looking for improvements and more impact from Turner as she continues to settle into the team.

Hurst joined an exclusive club in reaching the 250-game milestone during last Friday’s game against the Lynx.

The 49th player to hit the mark, Hurst spent a majority of her career with the University of Canberra Capitals and is the only

After four matches of the 2018/19 WNBL season, Bendigo sits at two wins and an equal number of losses. Bendigo Spirit play the Adelaide Lightning at Bendigo Stadium from 7pm, on Saturday, November 3.

The side then backs up to play the Melbourne Boomers in the pre-Melbourne Cup clash at the State Basketball Centre on Monday, November 5 from 7.30pm, in what shapes as one of the games of the season.

Huntly North Epsom win

IN FORM: Huntly North Epsom outplayed Bendigo United.

BENDIGO United took on Huntly North Epsom in round two of the Bendigo District Cricket Association T20 competition on Tuesday night.

The match was played at the Harry Trott Oval in perfect conditions, and the occasion doubled as a fundraiser for up and coming cricket star Tobie Travaglia, who has been selected to represent Victoria at the national Under 12 championships in Bunbury, Western Australia in December.

Last year’s beaten T20 grand finalists, Bendigo United was coming of a Round One bye for the Pool One match up against Huntly North Epsom, while the visitors lost their opening T20

game against Strath Maristians by 18 runs.

Batting first, HNE made 5-133, with Ryan Grundy top scoring with 34 from just 24 balls faced.

Lewis Stabler chimed in with 30, while Jake Klemm and Chris Howgate both took two wickets for United.

In reply, Bendigo United could only manage 99, losing their last seven wickets for just 41 runs.

Mitchell Whittle took three wickets for HNE, while Elliott Massina and Adam Ward both took two.

Kangaroo Flat made it two wins in a row with a thrilling win over White Hills, by a solitary run.

HON TAKES HONOURS FOURTH seed Priscilla Hon has won the 2018 Bendigo International Pro Tour after an enthralling final clash against seventh seed Ellen Perez.

Queenslander Hon won the first set 6-4, but Perez refused to surrender and fought back to take the second set 6-4.

The final was played at a frenetic pace and in front of a large crowd, and proved to be an absorbing struggle between two evenly matched players.

It was Hon who eventually gained the upper hand to prevail 7-5 in the third and deciding set, when Perez double faulted on match point.

Brayden Stepien top scoring with 42, but the innings lost momentum in the later stages in what would prove to be decisive to the match result.

Kangaroo Flat reached 9-125 off the final ball of the innings, with Matthew Underwood making a fine 49.

Adam Burns (17 NO) proved a steady hand in the later order to help keep their winning run intact.

Jack Bourke took four wickets for White Hills.

In other T20 results, Bendigo were bowled out for 115 by Strath Maristians who went on to win by four wickets in the match at Axis Employment Oval, and Strathfieldsaye easily accounted for Golden Square in the game at Triple M Park.

THWAITES IS A DIAMOND STAR netballer Caitlin Thwaites has been named in a squad of 13 athletes who have been selected for the Samsung Australian Diamonds team to travel to England in January for the 2019 Quad Series.

Head coach Lisa Alexander said the selection of 13 athletes for the January tournament allows for further trialling and experimentation leading into the Netball World Cup in July.

“I was very impressed with how we performed in both the recent Quad Series and Constellation Cup so I’m looking forward to January where we’ll again be competing on the world stage, further developing our game plans and starting to really build towards our 2019 World Cup campaign.”

The 2019 Quad Series is being played from January 13 to 20 with matches against South Africa, England and New Zealand taking place in Liverpool and London.

Spirit back in focus

By PETER KENNEDY

WNBL action returns to Bendigo Stadium this weekend, when the Bendigo Spirit looks to avenge two away losses in a must-win clash against the Adelaide Lightning.

The Spirit will also be out to avenge last weekend’s 91-63 defeat at the hands of Adelaide, and will need to curb the damaging Nia Coffey whose game high 21 points in Sunday’s encounter helped seal the Lightning’s victory.

Speaking on ABC Radio earlier this week, Bendigo Spirit coach Simon Pritchard said his charges had started the game against Adelaide well, but lost focus as the contest wore on.

“We were 21-17 at quarter time, then it was 35-34, just a one point game at half time,” he said.

“The girls had really carried over what we’d done in Perth but we just didn’t stay focussed through the third quarter.”

Bendigo was left to rue missed opportunities at crucial periods of the match, and will need to re-group before Saturday night’s encounter.

“We just lost our focus and I think that’s the thing we’ve taken away, from the weekend… we really have to stay focussed on what we’re trying to do and not get distracted by what the other team’s doing.”

Earlier, the Spirit also lost against Perth 77-72 on Friday night of the tough away trip, but Pritchard said his team showed great determination to get back into the game after a slow start against the Lynx.

“After half time we really knuckled down and I think in the third quarter we were 26-9 and got the game back in control and with five minutes to go it was a five point game.”

The Spirit’s comeback saw Kara Tessari hit consecutive three-pointers and Louella Tomlinson (16 points, eight rebounds) add four points in a fast-paced final term. Continued Page 23
