MUSEUM OF VALOUR

By DIANNE DEMPSEY

IT was a day of pride in Bendigo yesterday when the $5.1 million extension and fully renovated Soldiers’ War Memorial Institute and Military Museum was officially opened by the mayor Margaret O’Rourke and Bendigo and District RSL president

Peter Swandale. While the building was a pivotal part of the centennial of Armistice Day last Sunday, the opening ceremony has been kept to a separate occasion to mark the significance of the preservation of one of our most important civic buildings. Director of the Sol-

diers War Memorial Kirsten McKay said the renovated building will be open to the public today. It will also be open on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm for a donation of $2. While last minute finetuning has been going on during the week, Ms McKay said “we’re all sys-

tems go and enjoying the excitement leading up to the opening”. Ms McKay said she started the part–time position as curator in April, 2016. Previous to her appointment, Peter Ball curated the institute on a voluntary basis for more than 20 years.

Ms McKay said the displays were basically set out in chronological order starting from the pre–World War I era and continuing to the post–Vietnam war era. The institute will also feature on-going, temporary exhibitions on a variety of themes related to Australian service in war.

Tram is for sale MILITARY artist Robert Milton is selling a heritage restaurant tram car that he converted into an art studio last year. Mr Milton completed art work for the recent Invictus Games in the tram car and was an official artist for the games. He and his family are moving into Bendigo from their home in Junortoun and no longer have room for the car. Teaching art as part of his new career means Mr Milton, who is also a veteran, will need more space. Mr Milton finished the re-

furbishment of a 1927-built tramcar, parked in his backyard, that once served as a restaurant in Melbourne and Bendigo from the 1980s, before being decommissioned and ending up at Bendigo’s gas works site. It was at the gas works that Mr Milton and his wife Alison noticed the tram as they walked around Lake Weeroona. “It is history and I already had a connection through working in the transport sector,” Mr Milton said. “I thought it would be an

amazing space but it is one of those thoughts you have, followed by, ‘I will never be able to buy it’,” he said. Mrs Milton also saw the potential and so the family negotiated to buy it, not an easy task but helped by the conviction of Mr Milton’s idea for its use. Despite its very poor condition, with the help of local contractor Andy Beggs the tram was returned to its original state. Action Auctions will auction the tram this Saturday at 1pm at 1 Betty’s Avenue, Junortoun.

TICKET sales for next Friday’s Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch prostate cancer fundraiser close on Monday.

A free bus service will operate from Sidney Myer Place next Friday, with the first service expected to depart the city centre at noon, and a second bus at 12.30pm. A free bus service will also be provided at the conclusion of the fundraiser, expected to be at about 4.30pm.

Third term for mayor

Friday, November 16, 2018 – Bendigo Weekly

O’Rourke retains role with Fyffe as deputy

By SHARON KEMP

ALMOST half of City of Greater Bendigo councillors nominated to be mayor but they returned Margaret O’Rourke for a third term as the council seeks to make headway on projects that threaten to leave council with a legacy of cost. Long-serving councillor Rod Fyffe will serve as deputy mayor next year making the leadership team a familiar pair to whoever wins the state election in just over a week. Councillors are halfway through their four-year term but the Bendigo Airport redevelopment completed in 2017 has failed to attract a commercial airline carrier as council has attempted, and so far failed, to at-

tract federal funding to improve the terminal. Cr O’Rourke, yet to be sworn in, also identified waste as an issue that required resolution as well as outside funding. “I think we would like to see some announcements around the airport whether it is for regional passenger transport or the (Qantas) pilot academy,” she said. Bendigo is one of seven regional cities that could be chosen as the location for a commercial flight school operated by Qantas. “We would also like to get our heads around waste a bit more in

terms of what we need to do there, not only in greater Bendigo but also the surrounding shires,” Cr O’Rourke said. “We are certainly seeking assistance from state and federal governments around that because it is an Australia-wide issue that really needs to be worked through.” Cr Fyffe, who has been mayor four times previously in a 34-year council career, added projects he would like to see funded in the next term of state government. “I think whichever party wins, we will be working with them to make sure we get our fair share of state

funding,” he said. “We have quite a number of projects we would like to be developed, law courts, a govhub, a bypass at Marong for example. “All of these things require us to prepare a case and meet with state and federal governments. “We talk to both sides of parliament and independents to make sure our message is being heard.” The recent openings of a swathe of multi-million-dollar projects in Bendigo is deceptive given most received council funding before the state government introduced rate capping limiting rate rises to about two

per cent per annum. The Municipal Association of Victoria has called in the lead up to the election for parties to commit to developing a rate cap indexation model to reflect what it costs council to deliver community services. The Liberal National Party has promised to launch an independent inquiry into farm rates in Victoria if the Coalition wins government, and Labor has said it would support inquiry into the council rating system to identify fairness in terms of equity. Other councils will elect mayors for consecutive terms but in Bendigo since council amalgamation, the role has generally been shared. Cr O’Rourke’s election this week therefore stands as a record.

SAFE IN THE SUN OUTDOOR workers and their employers are being urged to make sure sun protection is high on the agenda as UV levels increase. The latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows 8721 City of Greater Bendigo residents work in the five industries that have the highest UV exposure, including agriculture, forestry and fishing, mining, electricity, gas, water and waste services, construction, and transport, postal and warehousing.

Wheeler dealers fire up for swap meet NOVEMBER to most means horse racing season but to those in the historic vehicle movement, it means Bendigo Swap Meet time. This weekend will be the 43rd year the event has been held at the Prince of Wales Showgrounds. The gates are due to open at 6am, for the early bargain hunters looking for those much needed parts, tools, equipment, books, accessories or even models of be-

loved vehicles. Committee Chair Ashley Gray said Saturday is the largest day for trading, but Sunday is open too. “We really work hard to make sure it runs smoothly and safely. Sunday is open from 7am,” he said. “There more than 1700 sites and the tons of parts, show ‘n shine vehicles, books and complete vehicles for sale and this year we are having two features.

“In the BEC building there will be a display of Delarge vehicles and these are magnificent vehicles.” Mr Gray said the meet includes vehicles known as barn finds. “These are ones that are original and have been kept in a shed or barn or something and not used for many years,” he said. “Then they are discovered and out they come to be excellent original vehicles.”

The Combined Rotary Clubs of Bendigo will be keeping up with the food and refreshments, and this year they will have more than 800 volunteers helping out over the event. The show is on Saturday and Sunday, November 17 and 18 with set up day on the Friday. Adults entry on Saturday is $15 and Sunday $5. Children under 16 are admitted for free if they are with an adult.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, November 16, 2018

Celebrating 10 years of service It was balloons and celebrations all round when staff and patients helped Bendigo Day Surgery celebrate their 10th anniversary earlier this week. Today BDS is home for up to two dozen dedicated administration and nursing staff who oversee and perform between 30 to 40 procedures daily - that’s close to 5000 procedures annually. Board member and plastic surgeon Richard Dickinson said the modern three theatre surgery, was now a well established hospital for the people of Bendigo. “It is now a local icon and has appropriately won the Bendigo Business Award it deserves,” Mr Dickinson said. Chairman and general surgeon Tony Gray agrees, and is extremely proud of the excellent facility full of dedicated staff “We have a great pool of casual staff to work with our full and part time staff, meaning we aren’t reliant on agency staff,” Mr Gray said. Registered nurse and long time employee Ann-Maree enjoys working as part of a team which makes fronting up to work a breeze. “I finished work on a Friday in Melbourne and started at Bendigo Day Surgery the following Monday ten years ago, and have been here ever since,” Ann-Maree said.

Clinical team leader Natalie said it was a fabulous work environment with a great team, while director of nursing Sally McInerny said she works with a great group of pleasant and professional staff. “Hopefully our patients get the same feeling when they come here too,” Sally said.

Bendigo Day Surgery, and our local Medical Specialists, offer same day surgical treatment and care in the following specialities: • Eye Surgery (Ophthalmology) • General Surgery • Gastroenterology • Plastics and Reconstruction • Gynaecology • Orthopaedics • Ear Nose and Throat • Urology • IVF For more information on our facility or Medical Specialists, please visit the website or contact our friendly staff.

1 Chum Street, Bendigo. Ph: 5444 3533 www.bendigodaysurgery.com.au e: enquiry@bendigodaysurgery.com.au

Here for the long term Bendigo Day Surgery assures all its past and future patients that any talk about the state-of-the -art facility in Chum Street being on the market is incorrect. What is on the market is the freehold of the first floor, consisting of numerous tenanted consulting suites and a pathology laboratory, not the operating theatres and post recovery ward which is frequented by thousands of patients annually.

Management and staff look forward to providing a range of unsurpassed ophthalmic (eye), plastic and reconstructive and general surgery procedures, along with urological, ear, nose and throat, gynaecological and orthopaedic day procedures well into the future.

Voters take early option

By SHARON KEMP

BENDIGO voters took the opportunity to vote as soon as two polling booths in the city opened for early voting on Monday. By last night, more than 7000 people in the seats of Bendigo East and Bendigo West had voted but candidates still had over a week of campaigning until election day on November 24. Heightened campaign activity over two weeks brought out lobby groups including the Victorian Council of Social Service and the Rural Doctors Association of Victoria to call for commitments from candidates to their respective causes.

For VCOSS member organisations in Bendigo, including ARC Justice, Bendigo Community Health Services and Women’s Health Loddon Mallee, the call was to increase funding to the community sector. “We are not born equal and many of these inequities compound over time,” BCHS chief executive Kim Sykes said. “Access to a broad range of services provided by the community sector is critical to reducing disadvantage and achieving fairer outcomes for most of our most vulnerable.” It also attracted party leaders including Nationals deputy leader Bridget McKenzie, Greens

Australia leader Richard Di Natale and Labor treasurer Chris Bowen who spruiked funding for preschool for all three and four year olds by 2021. Bendigo MP Lisa Chesters pointed out the commitment,

federal party winning its next election. “We know that investment in our youngest Australians pays off all through their education, all through their life, it pays off for them, it pays off for the country,”

The Victorian Electoral Commission has forecast the proportion of early voters could be as high as 50 per cent which would also include funding to states to increase preschool places and train more educators, was a partnership between federal and state Labor and therefore contingent on the incumbent being returned in Victoria and the

Mr Bowen said. “There are 4500 three and four year olds in Bendigo who will benefit from Labor’s announcement.” Early voting was tracking at about 1000 votes per day this

Pooling resources for a hot summer

President Sam Kane said volunteers were looking forward to continuing to provide for Golden Square and Bendigo residents. “We have spent winter fundraising and responding to suggestions from our patrons on how they would like their pool to be for summer,” he said. “Our core beliefs are to create an environment where people feel like they belong, and to provide a

place where people can be involved in their local community.” As part of council’s resolution to keep the pool open for an additional two years, patronage will be monitored alongside the opening of the Gurri Wanyarra Wellbeing Centre, while the development of Golden Square Recreation Reserve Master Plans will occur. A further decision on the pool’s future will be then made in 2020.

Mr Kane said the community group was not against the new Kangaroo Flat facility, but supported all opportunities for health, wellbeing and active living in the Bendigo community. He believed residents would continue to support the community-run pool. Saturday’s opening kicks off at 3pm, with memberships and season passes available to buy.

NATIONALS deputy leader Bridget McKenzie has not yet ruled out contesting the lower house seat of Indi in the federal election and she is getting early door knocking practice. Greens Australia leader Richard Di Natale has been hand shaking in Victoria ahead of the state election and says the federal Coalition are already in election mode. “They could call an election at any time,” Senator Di Natale said before he arrived in Bendigo last week. Both minor parties are talking about a shift in the vote away from the major parties amid disenchantment with revolving door leadership in Canberra. Senator McKenzie told the Bendigo Weekly the federal seat of Indi held by independent Cathy McGowan would benefit from having a Nationals MP. She was supporting Nationals candidate Gaelle Broad ahead of early voting opening this week. “At the last federal election, the Nationals vote held up across the country in the face of a swing against the Coalition and that is because as MPs and Senators we are very connected to our local communities,” Senator McKenzie said. She is moving her electorate office to Wodonga which clears one hurdle against her running in the seat. She would have to resign from the Senate. There is a precendent for the Nationals – Damian Drum quit his seat in the Victorian Parliament’s Upper House to successfully contest in the federal seat of Murray in the 2016 election.

AS the sun starts to shine for summer, Golden Square Pool is opening its gates this weekend for its sixth season as a community-run facility. The pool, which in February was given a two-year lease extension, will this season bring new opening hours and water aerobics classes to the pool deck, as well as host VicSwim lessons and see the introduction of a junior volunteer

week at the McIvor Road office that is the rented polling booth taking pre-poll votes for the Bendigo East electorate. The number was slightly less than at the Victorian Electoral Commission office in High Street, Golden Square where Bendigo West voters can vote. Tracking at the same rate, early polling should account for about 25 per cent of total vote but it is expected more people will visit booths in the second half of next week leading up to November 24. The Victorian Electoral Commission has forecast the proportion of early voters could be as high as 50 per cent in some electorates.

Cyclists fight rail change

CYCLISTS took to the train this week to show their frustration at the lack of space provided on new V/Line VLocity trains for bicycles which they claim will impact on cycling tourism in regional Victoria. The new carriages provide 14 additional seats for travellers, but at the expense of a toilet, bike storage and places

to stow luggage. Wednesday’s protest was organised by the Bicycle Network organisation and its supporters. In a written statement, Bicycle Network said the new carriages would make it harder for people to travel with their bikes on V/Line trains. “We’re robbing local tourism operators of the opportu-

nity to capitalise on the growing demand for cycle tourism. “It’s short-term thinking that actively discourages people from exploring our regional communities by bike.” V/Line has stated that large groups wishing to travel to and from regional Victoria with their bicycles will need to make alternative transport arrangements.

STATE ELECTION 2018

Infrastructure is key By SHARON KEMP

THE Liberal Nationals has reiterated it will rely on a decentralisation platform to drive policy in regional Victoria. Leading up to the state election, the Coalition has promised it will reserve $1 billion over two terms to build infrastructure to support more people to move to regional areas. Both major parties are contending with disaffected metro-

politan voters complaining about congestion. Victorian Nationals leader Peter Walsh said Labor had no plan to decentralise the state “and make sure people who live outside of Melbourne’s tram tracks aren’t missing out”. But Labor has abolished stamp duty for first time home buyers acquiring a property in regional Victoria, and cut the payroll tax for regional businesses, a promise the Coalition has doubled down

on. The LNP also announced this week it would strengthen procurement pipelines, making it easier for regional businesses to win work in government projects. The projects include its proposed $19 billion fast rail link that promises a 70 minute trip from Bendigo to Melbourne. “Too often, small and medium size businesses in regional Victoria are locked out of government tenders, unable to bid against larger Melbourne-based firms,” opposi-

tion roads and infrastructure minister David Hodgett said. Labor announced on the same day a $340m commitment to build 54 Vlocity trains, an announcement the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry heralded as a gain for local apprentices and trainees. Mr Walsh said LNP’s decentralisation fund would include grants for smaller projects and investment to promote business growth and job creation.

Green push to recycle SOME of the hundreds of millions of dollars collected from councils as the state government’s landfill levy should be spent in Bendigo supporting jobs and the recycling industry, Greens Bendigo East candidate Nakita Thomson said yesterday. As a large regional centre, Bendigo should have the industries to deal with waste from a catchment area surrounding the city to minimise the distance materials had to travel to be processed. The original intent of the landfill levy, which amounted to $200 million in Victoria’s 2017 state budget, was to boost recycling rates and support waste reduction and sustainability initiatives. As the City of Greater Bendigo confronts having to close its remaining landfill site at Eaglehawk in two years, the Greens have said incineration is not the answer. “Incineration is four times more polluting than coal,” Ms Thomson said. Democratic Labour Party candidate Helen Leach has called for

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE: Bendigo East Greens candidate Nakita Thomson. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN waste-to-energy technology as the solution to Bendigo emerging waste crisis. The Greens want to see waste reduced and have called for a ban on single use plastics as well as non-recyclable and excessive packaging.

“The party will put in place a $5 million research body that will redevelop packaging so that it is cheap, compostable and recyclable,” Ms Thomson said. “The end goal is to have nothing go to landfill, but most individuals, communities and

businesses need support to move towards this goal,” Greens northern Victoria candidate Nicole Rowan said. “We can no longer afford to rely on our current take-makedump approach to how we make and use products.”

Labor claims a rail plus LABOR has promised 54 new VLocity trains running on the Geelong and Ballarat lines will boost services on the Bendigo line. The old classic fleet of trains running on the former two lines caused delays and slowed down services to Bendigo, public transport minister Jacinta Allan said this week. The commitment is worth $340 million and will make up to 18 three-car trains to replace “old unreliable trains on the Geelong and Ballarat lines”. “Replacing the classic fleet from our regional lines will boost punctuality and reliability across our regional network,” the Labor announcement said. During the election campaign, the incumbent government has found itself competing with the Liberal Nationals Party on its proposed $19 billion Fast Rail promise including all three regional centres. Labor came out first with a package of election promises including the $91m Bendigo line upgrade improving signalling around the city increasing speeds on rail travel from Echuca. If re-elected, Labor has also promised to build three new stations, at Goornong, Raywood and Huntly, and plan to reopen the Harcourt station. It has also promised to investigate increasing rail between Bendigo and Kyneton, and has not ruled out duplicating that line. Also this week, Labor has promised to provide public IVF services which would be bulk-billed and subsidised for lower income families. A $32m investment will establish public IVF services that will also work with a regional health service. An interim government report on the treatment found that the services were unaffordable for many people.

THE 2018 Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival went off with a boom. In its eighth year the festival hit an all time high with record ticket sales and crowds across the four days. Around every corner, in basements and on balconies, down laneways and across the Bendigo region people of all ages were getting out to enjoy live music. With estimated crowds of more than 20,000 local night spots were bursting at the seams and the lawns of Rosalind park were amass with families enjoying the sunshine. Previous festivals have brought a following of visitors from across the state and beyond, and this year looks like to have returned much of the same with early stats indicating more than 40 per cent of patrons do not live in Bendigo. Festival director Colin Thompson was quick to share the praise. “In an extremely challenging year, I couldn’t be more proud of the way our core committee, as well as our extended team of volunteers and partners, came together to stage our best festival yet,” he said. “It really did achieve the goal of having something for everyone and that’s overwhelmingly reflected in the feedback we’ve received thus far. “I haven’t caught up with all of our venue owners and managers yet, but all those I’ve spoken to were very happy with the outcomes we achieved together this year. The feedback from artists and visiting audiences is that they felt incredibly welcomed by the Bendigo community as a whole and that brings myself and our team a lot of joy.”

HALF of Victorians living in areas at high risk of bushfire think the risk to their home minimal, a CFA survey has revealed. CFA’s Bushfire Community Survey, undertaken annually since 2009-10, showed that 52 per cent of this year’s respondents considered the risk moderate, minor or nonexistent. A third said they would only leave when a fire threatens their town or suburb rather than the morning of or night before a day of extreme fire danger. CFA acting chief officer Stephanie Rotarangi said Victorians who were underestimating the risk or who left it too late to leave, were risking the safety of themselves and their families. “It’s important to get your head around what the real risk is to you and your friends and family, how to minimise it and what to do when there is a bushfire emergency,” she said. The most recent seasonal outlook shows that October rainfall was generally below to very much below average across Victoria. Eastern Victoria has now experienced two consecutive years of record low rainfall

during autumn and winter, which means a build-up of fine fuels, fuel hazards and flammability in forests. “If rainfall trends continue, this season will be in line with Victoria’s driest seasons increasing the risk of bushfire,” Ms Rotarangi said. “It may not impact you or

It’s important to get your head around what the real risk is your family directly, but what if it does?” “People need a plan; exactly what are you going to do for you family, for your kids, your partner or parents, your loved ones, pets, other animals if a fire occurs and a fire truck may not be able to get there? Start having the conversations now.” CFA works with its partner emergency services agencies and on the ground with residents through its com-

munity educators. Open Day activities and bushfire safety workshops encourage Victorians to learn more about bushfire risk and what they need to do to plan and prepare for it. “We are ready to do the best we can to keep you safe this bushfire season, but equally it’s about the community being ready,” Ms Rotarangi said. “Members of the community who live and travel to high-risk bushfire areas along with visitors to Victoria need to inform themselves of how they will keep safe in a fire. “We ask that they understand the risk to them, how the warnings system works and what they need to do on high-risk bushfire days in the areas they live and work in and travel to.” CFA’s survey showed that attending a CFA bushfire planning workshop was the CFA activity that most effectively resulted in participants gaining an improved understanding of bushfire risk. It made people take action to plan and prepare for bushfire, and to feel more confident. For more information, visit www.cfa.vic.gov.au/workshops

BUSHFIRE READINESS Plan to minimise the risk CFA brigades across the state are talking to their communities about the local fire risk, how to prepare, and what to do to stay safe over summer. Check what’s on in your area. Visit cfa.vic.gov.au for more information about bushfire planning and preparation, and about leaving early. Follow some simple planning and preparation tips to make sure you’re ready for the upcoming bushfire season: • Prepare your property; it can minimise property damage even if you leave early. • Move furniture, woodpiles and mulch away from windows, decks and eaves. • Prune tree branches so they are not overhanging the roof or touching walls. • Keep grass shorter than 10 centimetres. Regularly remove leaves and twigs. • Don’t have plants higher than 10cm in front of windows or glass doors. • Before you leave, make sure you remove all flammable items from around your home. Houses have been lost from things as simple as embers landing on a doormat. • Check that your home and contents insurance is current and includes a level of cover in line with current building standards and regulations.

GREYHOUND racing isn’t a topic commonly covered by contemporary songwriters, but that’s the territory Bendigo band Four Lions visits with new single, Cash Grab. “I got interested a few years back,” Shann Lions, the band’s front man and lyricist said. “I was actually having my hair cut at the time and the conversation went off into greyhound racing and it stayed with me. This song talks about bloodlines, training and of course, people gambling.” I’m talking to Lions in Bendigo’s Handle Bar in Mitchell Street, where tomorrow night, Saturday, November 17, his band will launch Cash Grab. Money goes out quicker

than it comes in. Know a trainer at The Meadows who gave me a tip, sings Lions in the opening two lines. The song’s subject matter has been a divisive topic in recent years. “There’s a great camaraderie in the industry, which is a positive,” Lions said. “But there’s also cruelty and the injuries.” Cash Grab represents a directional change for the Bendigo-based five-piece. There’s a bigger, bolder, multi-layered 1970s sound to it compared to previous releases. There are definite nods in the direction of both the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen. “It’s different to the new album, that’s why we decided to release it as a

standalone single.” Lions and bandmates Keith MacQueen (guitar), Greg Perry (bass), Gav Moncrieff (drums), and Stephen Briggs (keys) have been hard at work on the forthcoming album, Hard Days, this year. “We’ll release it in early March,” Lions said over the short preview I get to hear through a small, portable tabletop speaker. “There’ll be 11 tracks on it.” Hard Days has more of the band’s familiar altcountry Americana vibe and feel to it. And at first hearing there are also hints of both The Kinks and The Faces. And the subject matter? “It’s getting back into that kind of introspective

territory,” Lions said with a wry smile. In the meantime, he’s focused on the Cash Grab single launch. “Tomorrow night’s show includes a guest horn section featuring Brendan Bartlett and Kade Normington.” And in a perhaps unusual move there is no support act, but punters will be able to hear a preview of Four Lions’ forthcoming album, Hard Days, played over the PA before the band takes the stage. This will be Four Lions’ first Bendigo gig since Easter. Doors open at 7pm at the Handle Bar. Admission is free. – Simon Wooldridge Twitter: @spwooldridge

No to incinerators A WASTE incinerator, whether it creates electricity or not, is a bad idea for Bendigo or anywhere in Victoria (Leach looks at waste, Bendigo Weekly, November 9). I presume Helen Leach is talking about burning waste for energy. There are cold waste-to-energy methods, composting or fermenting, used for smaller amounts of waste that may be okay. The waste that goes into incinerators can never be sorted efficiently; it always contains plastics, styrofoam and the like. They burn to produce deadly dioxin and similar chemical emissions. The airborne emissions fall on to residential areas both near and far, extremely harmful for children’s brains and development. Not much better for adults or animals. The spinmasters of the global corporations that sell these incinerators claim they have solved the dioxin problem with better filters. They haven’t. Wherever incinerators are placed in Europe and elsewhere there are ongoing citizen protests. The contracts for building incinerators always include guaranteed large amounts of waste to be provided, meaning that municipalities are then discouraged from pursuing proper recycling or zero-waste policies. A lose-lose for everyone. Please, no waste incineration for our region. David McRae, Kangaroo Flat

Rental history paramount I AM a mature aged woman. I am a grandmother. I am extremely home and garden proud. I have worked most of my life. I have two dogs who are my family. I have always kept my dogs’ living environment spotless and maintained. I have a very long and sound rental history with excellent references. I have never not paid my rent on time. At present I am in temporary housing until February, so I have been searching the rentals, turning up to open days and have discovered this: So many people line up on the pathways beside me, all vying for the one property, all in need of affordable housing. The common thread I’ve picked up on is one of the criteria’s for some, seems to be employment status and if there are pets or children. Families with children/pets, unemployed people, single parents,

younger people or mature aged people like myself are all capable of paying their rent on time, keeping their home and garden clean and well cared for and will maintain and keep clean their pets’ environment. A person’s past rental history should be paramount and their references need to be checked thoroughly of course, but if they come up trumps they should be regarded as a highquality tenant, eagerly sought after whatever their income or status. Jennifer, Lockwood

Instilling hope IN response to Murray McPhie and concern that our pupils are being scared of the effects of climate change (Bendigo Weekly, November 2 and 9). While we continue to focus the debate of climate change on our beliefs as to whether or not it is actually happening, or refuting the findings of the International Panel on Climate Change, I believe we are missing the point. The very real and attainable proposition of reversing global warming through Drawdown is perhaps the most hopeful option to date, one that may unite our community on the climate debate, regardless of any individual belief in science. Drawdown proposes 100 solutions to reverse global warming and each solution is something that I believe we should be doing anyway, regardless of the impact on our climate. The net savings, net economic benefit and net social benefits presented by Drawdown solutions are evidence enough to inspire action at a local, national and global level. It really is time for us to look toward the future with hope in action as opposed to oscillating between denial and despair. Helena Read, Ironbark

Free parking solution HERE is an innovation idea that, I believe, would breathe some much needed life into the dying shops in the Bendigo CBD. It was saddening the other day when my wife and I walked around the Bendigo shopping area and witnessed so many shops had closed and the premises up for lease. One has only to look at a parallel occurrence in Nelson Bay in NSW which we have visited several times – they have priced the shop owners out of existence with enormous parking fees and the shoppers gravitate to the free parking at the new shopping

ing car parking spaces. Bendigo is very dependent on one central road. Our council needs a plan in place to cope with these situations. Obviously, federal and state government will be involved as local government is a service provider. Ross Mactier, Kennington

What really concerns me are the ravaging bush fires in many places, burning thousands of acres each year. I don’t mind people chaining themselves to the trees to protest the tree logging business, but where are these people when the forest needs to be rescued? It is irresponsible just to close the forest without a proper plan to manage it. We all try to do our bit to save the planet, please look at the bigger picture. Ann Tang, North Bendigo

PICK OF THE WEEK: The remains of Campbells Forest post office complexes. Sound familiar? My proposed solution is to make all street parking free. To compensate, triple the parking fine for overstaying the time limit, and again if the vehicle is still there at the next time frame. There would be less administration costs and more revenue which would be partly offset by increased parking inspectors. Could anyone suggest why this would not work? (Without the usual spin and doctrinal diatribe). Ralph Nelson, Neilborough

Outline development plan THE Bendigo community requires the federal and state government to provide funds for an outline development plan with the expertise for our city road infrastructure including a ring road and other service facilities to prepare for the population growth of the future. The state government is suggesting an extra 100,000 people could be living here by 2050. Areas of concern: Howard Street School in Epsom where the passing transports cause teachers and parents concern. Future increases in volumes of traffic in Napier Street, White Hills; High Street, Kangaroo Flat and other locations. Our council is obsessed with bicycle tracks for two per cent of the community and in some cases reduc-

Left off the map POLITICS is turning a lot of people off with National and Liberal party politicians fighting with one another. One day they might sort themselves out, but what about the here and now? With the state election going on Labor has a plan for more Bendigo health and education services. But the so-called Coalition has no commitment for Bendigo TAFE or the proposed new day rehabilitation centre. This Coalition has made promises in other cities, but perhaps their arguments got so bad they never got around to discussing Bendigo. They have left us off their map, so it should not surprise them that they get left off the map on election day. Josh Condoluci, Huntly

The bigger picture I HAVE been living in regional centres for about 30 years and enjoy the natural beauty Australia has to offer.

A grave issue RE Mark Shannon, (Letters, November 2) You, and the BUGU are worried about the Greens pushing to change the status of public land in central Victoria by the VEAC. But do you know that they have already got you in the future when you die? There was still some area left in the Bendigo Cemetery Reserve, which was still there to be used for future burials. Some years ago, they pushed the government via the Crown Lands Department to revoke a few acres of the Bendigo Cemetery Reserve, and have it declared a flora and fauna reserve. Now, no-one can be buried in that area. Bob McMahon, Bendigo

The right moves

CENTRAL Victorians are in voting mode, with just eight days left to have their say as to who should be our political representatives for the next four years. This state election has been remarkably different from any other before it. There has never been so much money splashed about by both the major parties, with billions upon billions of promises stacked up in an incredible shopping list like no other. One of the unsung highlights of this campaign has been the focus on infrastructure, and the major parties are to be congratulated for their respective commitments to rails for the future. It makes for a pleasant change to have politicians pledging support for projects that stretch over the immediate political horizon and beyond a single cycle. This campaign has also seen less of the annoying point scoring, name

Editorial Comment calling and argy-bargy that politicians seem to think the rest of us must appreciate, and for that, we are also grateful. The personal attacks and criticism that sometimes sees our pollies play the man/woman and not the ball/issue is extremely immature. It’s also disrespectful to both the person targeted and to the electorate at large. This election campaign has also seen the electorate demonstrate a searing indifference to the process under way... people just seem to not care or have much interest, and that is a shame for something so important that affects every single one of us. With a week to go, it would be

great to see the major parties turn their focus to what each other has proposed and for the sake of voters, either match or reject what the other has proposed. This would let us all know what is and isn’t on the table, and bring a focus back to the key issues and promises. For us, one key commitment that deserves universal support is the establishment of a new court complex in Bendigo. This long overdue project should have already started, and it certainly deserves to have been more than an election commitment. Spend some time in the present court building, magnificent as it is, and you quickly realise how outdated and hopelessly inadequate it really is. Given the life changing nature of what occurs in the court system as justice is dispensed each day, Bendigo deserves better.

After seven games, the Bendigo Spirit sits second on the WNBL ladder, consistently beating teams that include some of the biggest names in the sport in this country. The team itself is full of quality athletes, the league is full of national and international stars, and the sport hasn’t been this popular since the heyday of the 1990s. What this team has achieved and is achieving, deserves to be experienced by more people in our community. The Spirit players are outstanding role models both on and off the court, and they are laying the foundations for the next generation of basketball stars to emerge in years to come. You only have to watch

ROLE MODELS: It’s time to show your support. Photo: AKUNA PHOTOGRAPHY the way the players have earned the respect of those fans who have shared their journey this season to see the impact the Bendigo Spirit is having, especially on young women in our community. It’s time to celebrate our team and our city and get out and support Bendigo’s only national sporting team. And it starts tonight. It is a great sense of pride that as a regional city, Bendigo can match it with metropolitan clubs with bigger catchments. But what makes this city really stand out is when we produce bigger crowds.

Bendigo’s sense of community support is legendary. For more than 150 years we have come together to stand up for those who need it most, and come together to support our homegrown stars as they take on the world. And at the moment at the Bendigo Stadium the Spirit is certainly doing that, and it is certainly worth seeing. For the first time in a few years the Spirit has another chance to take Bendigo’s name to the biggest basketball stage this country has.

But it needs your support to do it. The Spirit takes on Dandenong at the Bendigo Stadium tonight, with doors open from 6pm. Not only is it another chance to see some amazing basketball, but it is great entertainment for the whole family, at a really affordable price. We are blessed in this city to have such an amazing team in our own backyard. But we need to show Australia how proud we are, and do our bit to build an atmosphere here that will take this team far.

PASSIONATE: Mandy Kelly.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, November 16, 2018

Providing opportunities

Early detection a life saver R EGISTERED nurse Mandy Kelly has had a few career changes since originally starting her career as a dental nurse, before establishing In2skin Co. in June 2018. They say every nurse eventually finds their passion for a particular branch of nursing, but it wasn’t until Mandy started working with Dr Peter Dawkins and plastic surgeon Mr Richard Dickinson at Spot on Skin Bendigo, that she discovered her love of skin. “Now I’m a dermatoscopist, still a nurse but especially trained to look at skin and in particular skin cancer,“ Mandy said. After gaining further qualifications in Melbourne, Mandy worked for Skin Smart Australia, travelling Australia doing skin cancer checks. But being a country girl at heart,

it wasn’t long until she returned to Bendigo to work in general nursing, before establishing the In2skin Co. earlier this year. “I provide a comprehensive skin examination which includes a 20 minute fully body check, head to toe, with a full educational spiel on sun protection and how to check your own skin and the signs to look for,” Mandy said. If any suspicious lesions are detected a referral letter for your GP will be provided.

TRUE inspiration to those around him, recently arrived immigrant Napoleon Kwaje embodies the qualities and traits sought after in disability support workers, with a genuine desire to help others on a daily basis. Arriving in Australia as a refugee from Africa in 2016, Napoleon now has a Certificate IV in Disability and works with two local, disability support organisations thanks to Bendigo TAFE. “When I first came here I was thinking what I could do in this world to change the lives of people,” Napoleon said. “Disability work is about respecting and caring for people who are not able to care for themselves.” Napoleon’s qualifications were courtesy of one of TAFE’s free priority courses, made possible with a partnership with the Interchange Loddon-Mallee Region Incorporation, promoting empowerment and encouraging people with disabilities to participate in

community activities. Students learn how to care for people with disabilities and special needs while making a positive change to their lives and receiving the handson skills and a qualification, on either successful completion of the Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability) or Certificate IV in Disability. Career opportunities are many and include disability worker or support officer, personal care assistant or recreational support officer. Courses are of twenty week’s duration, two days a week at either the Bendigo or Echuca campuses. “After finishing my placement I was employed and things changed radically in my life,” Napoleon said. “I’m a different person now.” To find out more phone 1300 876 877 or visit www.bendigotafe.edu.au/empowerdisability

For further information or to book your comprehensive skin examination, phone In2skin Co’s Mandy Kelly direct on 0429 867 045, email in2skin.co@ bigpond.com or look her up on Facebook and Instragram.

Onsite Skin Cancer Assessments FRESH START: Napoleon Kwaje has beneÿ ted after completing a Bendigo TAFE course. Most sun damage is caused as a result of childhood sun exposure.

Skin cancer causes more deaths than transport accidents every year in Australia.

Two out of three Australians will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.

The Skin Cancer College of Australia recommends annual skin cancer assessments.

You are at a high risk if you have family history of skin cancer, have had severe sunburn.

• A comprehensive skin history will be taken and your personal risk factor assessed and

discussed, including how to self-monitor for the three most common forms of skin cancer.

• A Dermatoscopist will assess your entire skin (excluding beneath the undergarments).

A Dermatoscopist is a health professional with a nursing or para-medical background, who holds post graduate qualiﬁcations in dermatoscopy; the assessment of skin lesions.

• You will be provided with a gown to wear during the assessment. • You will be provided with advice and support in the event that a suspicious lesion is

identiﬁed. Your Dermatoscopist will assist you to understand the best way to seek the appropriate medical follow up and letter of results provided for you to take to your GP of choice. M

Call for horse fans

EQUITANA is already up and running, but don’t worry you have until the end of Sunday to head to Melbourne. Organisers say it’s a continuation of Melbourne’s Spring Racing Carnival with more than 30,000 people flocking to the Melbourne Showgrounds to watch the competition and be inspired by educators and exhibitors from across the globe. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the event in Australia – a milestone that is being celebrated by so many. Presenters include eventer Chris Burton who won a team bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and has also ridden for Australia at the London Olympic Games. Also top billing is celebrated American horsewoman Stacy Westfall, a multiple reining champ, and dressage superstar trainer Pedro Torres who is known across Europe for his harmonious classical horse training. Olympic gold medallist Andrew Hoy is attending alongside Vicki Wilson, a back-to-back winner of the prestigious US hosted World Championship of Colt Starting. There’s competition too, with more than $130,000 on offer in the Horseware Australia Grand Prix. Forty-four combinations from both sides of the Tasman are keen to chase the biggest prize pot in Australian showjumping. For more information, head to www.equitana.com.au

Mobile veterinarian service

ENDIGO residents and their pets have now have easier access to a range of veterinarian services with myvet Strathfieldsaye’s Dr Susan Bibby offering a mobile veterinary service throughout the region. Junortoun resident Jenny Cunningham is already giving the service a big thumbs up. “Examinations are much easier for our labrador Ruby in her home environment, where she is much more relaxed,” Jenny said. “And we don’t have to wait at the vet clinic with the other animals, often causing her even more stress.” Myvet Strathfieldsaye director Dr Bibby said they were aware that many pet owners find it difficult to transport their animals to the vet, particularly people with mobility or transport issues, multiple pets or pets that don’t like travelling.

“In some circumstances, people may delay or avoid taking their pet to see a veterinarian as the process is too difficult, which can result in poor animal health and increased expense should the animal become ill,” she said. Dr Bibby believes the service will also relieve elderly residents or people with a disability from concern and worry about how they may transport their pets for veterinarian appointments. “For many aged people, their pet is their only constant companion and a great source of both affection and stress; this service will eliminate transport issues and allow easy access to pet health services and medication.” Appointments can be made by calling myvet Strathfieldsaye on 5439 5066, or emailing clinic@myvetstrathfieldsaye.com.au

While smaller lawns can be successfully aerated with the spiked lawn roller, which can be filled with water for further penetration.

Spirit win thriller READY: Paddlers on the start line for Stage Two of the Goulburn Classic.

Mann takes Classic BENDIGO paddler Becc Mann has won the Goulburn Classic. Mann was the overall winner and fastest female competitor, while fellow Bendigo competitor James Humphrey was the fastest junior at last Saturday’s event. Mann is a national marathon kayaking champion, having won the Under 23 women’s singles race (22.5 kilometres), and the open K2 (26.5km) doubles race in May. She also represented Australia in both the singles and doubles at the 2018 World Marathon Championships in Portugal in September, earning two top 10 finishes in her events. The Goulburn Classic includes three races over 31km from Keresdale to Seymour on the fast flowing Goulburn River, and this year it attracted 41 paddlers. The three-stage race winds through beautiful scenery along the mighty Goulburn River. The competitors vied for the yellow jersey on each stage but were all really fighting it out for the overall win. Stage one saw paddlers race 10km from Keresdale to Trawool Bridge, with Rod

Clark just taking out the yellow jersey in the C1 class. The second stage from Trawool Bridge to Goulburn Park in Seymour was over 17km, with Clark just hanging onto the jersey over James Miller. Fastest time for this stage was Hamish Young (k1) in an impressive 1 hour 10 min 50 seconds. The final stage was an individual six km time trial to Seymour’s Lyons Park. John Young and Dominic Scarfe put down a blistering six km of 21 min 28 seconds, but it wasn’t enough, with Bec Mann hanging on to clearly win the stage three yellow jersey and the overall Goulburn Classic. Mann took out the overall win in a stunning effort in 2hr 3min 7sec. Humphrey took out the fastest junior category in 2hr 9 min 1 sec. The Goulburn Classic is Australia’s oldest canoe race, and was originally 100 miles non-stop, with heroic stories of paddlers negotiating the fast flowing river at night. The last night paddle was raced in 2004 but was re-invented over the years to highlight the beauty of the area and attract more paddlers.

THE Bendigo Spirit survived a scare against the winless Sydney Flames in last Sunday’s epic Women’s National Basketball League clash at the Bendigo Stadium. In a game where everyone expected the home side to dominate, the Spirit struggled from the onset against a highly competitive Sydney line up before a thrilling last quarter set up a narrow two-point victory. Sydney got off to a promising start and looked as though they may claim their first win of the season. Becca Tobin and Nadeen Payne were stand outs and combined had a huge impact on the final result in the dying moments. With four seconds on the clock and a massive upset looming, Payne made a two point lay up (assisted by Tobin) to put Spirit in front (66-64) before Sydney called a time out. Possession was back with the Flames and they were determined to take the win but Tobin had other ideas and a steal with just two seconds to go cemented Spirit to second place on the ladder. Payne contributed 14 points, six rebounds and three assists. Tobin claimed MVP bragging rights with 11 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block. This was a game where the losing side arguably took more away from the match outcome, and Sydney will go into Sunday’s return encounter on its home court with its confidence boosted, having pushed the Bendigo side all the way. Spirit coach Simon Pritchard said Sydney managed to rattle his charges early, with the match a one point affair at quarter time. Sydney’s lead stretched as far as 10 points during the second quarter as the match looked like slipping away from Bendigo. “We were not firing on all cylinders, not communicating in defence, it really looked like we had no plan out there.” Bendigo lifted after half time, and the game was back to one point at the final break.

STAND OUT: Nadeen Payne played well. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN Quicker ball movement was crucial in the final quarter in a hard fought clash. Pritchard paid tribute to the efforts of captain Natalie Hurst for her leadership of the team, and for the efforts of both Hurst and Louella Tomlinson in largely negating the impact of Sydney’s

Alex Bunton, who shot just one from 13. The Spirit host seventh placed Dandenong tonight at the Bendigo Stadium from 7pm in another danger game for the finals aspirant, before Sunday’s clash in Sydney.

Bowls club pledge

Two master plans under way COUNCIL is developing two master plans for the Golden Square Recreation Reserve in Wade Street and is encouraging residents to get involved in the project. Residents are asked to fill out an online survey or make a submission. City of Greater Bendigo council’s Lincoln Fitzgerald said the master plan will explore the demand for sport and recreation facilities at the reserve and provide an opportunity for residents to have a say. “The reserve features a major pavilion, oval, netball court, competition standard lighting, fencing, swimming pool and associated buildings, car parking and cricket nets and is home to both junior and senior football, netball and cricket,” he said. “While the reserve is

THE state government has promised $330,000 towards an upgrade of the Kangaroo Flat Bowls Club, if it wins next weekend’s state election. The funding is expected to be used to help the club kick start the first stage of the club’s redevelopment program, including the construction of a synthetic bowling green. Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said despite record levels of participation at the club – Bendigo continues to miss out on the state’s biggest bowls tournaments. “Kangaroo Flats Bowls Club has a very proud history – and with this new upgrade, it’ll have a very bright future too,” she said. “Our investment in this club is also an investment in the men and women who’ve worked so hard to build it. “From a game of social bowls to the next big tournament, this upgrade will

located on crown land and the council is the Committee of Management. “The master plan project will also involve working with the adjacent privately owned bowling and croquet club to ensure that we take the opportunity to consider the broader recreation needs of the Golden Square community with this piece of work.” The development of the two master plans will provide a clear direction to council on the development options for the reserve regardless of Council’s decision on the future of the Golden Square Swimming Pool in 2020. The survey is at www. surveymonkey.com/r/goldensquaremasterplan Submissions can be emailed to ben@otiumplanning. com.au by Wednesday.

Joel Williams and Daniel Pollard, who compiled 69

points on the tricky Belvoir Park track. Men’s winner was John Dunn (40 points) and the women’s winner was Pamela Barr (33 points). Sunday’s event attracted competitors from Mooroopna, the Mornington Peninsula and many local clubs, and was billed as a gender and family friendly one. The championships did not offer major trophies that were gender‐related, meaning mums and dads could play with their kids or friends without gender restriction, and females could play with males or other females and vice versa. Scoring was gender neutralised, by way of an adjustment to the female scores on the day. As the Belvoir Park Golf Course is rated two shots harder for women as it is for men, all female scores had an additional two points added (per player) in the stableford aggregate competition.

The Echuca Adult Riding Club oversaw the event, and organiser Debbie Wild said feedback to the weekend event has been extremely positive. Categories up for grabs included Best Performed Off the Track, Holsteiner, Purebred Welsh, Australian Stock Horse and many other breeds.

Cricket heats up

EAGLEHAWK won the toss and sent the home side in to bat first on the Triple M Park wicket on the opening day of Bendigo District Cricket Association round four action. Strathfieldsaye lost wickets in a steady stream that did not allow the batsmen to establish any solid partnerships, with Abe Sheahan top scoring with 54 in the middle order, as his side fought its way to 173. Russell Stockdale’s 4 for 65 was the standout performance for the Eaglehawk attack, well supported by Richard Tibbett’s 3 for 26 from his 11 overs. Golden Square sent Huntly North Epsom into bat first in their clash at Haymes Paint Right Oval, with HNE compiling 188 in just over 81 overs. The visitors were seemingly crusing at 3/134 before they lost seven wickets for just 54 runs, with Ryan Grundy the pick of the batsmen with 55. Sandun Ranathunga made 28. Scott Trollope and Corey Van Aken both took four wickets for Golden Square. Kangaroo Flat piled on 324 for the loss of nine wickets on a friendly Queen Elizabeth Oval wicket in the clash with Bendigo. Chris Barber’s 107 was the

standout innings, while Dylan Gibson made 73, and Adam Burns 45. Bailey Goodwin toiled hard for his three wickets, but Bendigo will have its work cut out chasing down the Roos’ big score when play resumes tomorrow. Sandhurst where bowled out for 270 in the clash with White Hills. Shasheen Fernando top scored with 51, while Lincoln Jacobs took three wickets in a fine display, and youngster Jack Bourke mopped up the tail to also claim three scalps. Strath Maristians showed why they have been one of the hardest teams to defeat in recent years with a fighting 305 from 80.4 overs in the game against Bendigo United. Maristians had crashed to 4-31 before a middle order revival led by Daniel Clohesy (60), Sam Johnston (49) and Jacob DeAraugo (23) turned the match on its head, with number 10 batsmen Adrian Pappin the overall star with a well compiled and entertaining 87. Leigh McDermott was the pick of the bowlers for BUCC with four wickets, while the ever reliable Miggy Podosky finished with three for 66 from 16 overs. In reply, BUCC was 0/2 at stumps on day one.
