Youngsters dressed up as their favourite dinosaurs or palaeontologists to explore the lives of one of the world’s most curious reptiles. The morning featured a range of dinosaurthemed activities ranging from a dino disco dance to a planetarium screening to view the night’s starlit sky and the dinosaurs that lie within it.

WORLD Refugee Day took on a special significance in Bendigo last night with the inaugural Refugee Week Business and Employee Recognition Awards.

dispel the myths about refugees in Bendigo. Ms Chesters visited a site in Eaglehawk yesterday to urge the community to donation to the ‘Buy a Brick’ campaign. Bendigo’s Karen community is running the campaign in the hopes of receiving donations to help build a three bedroom temporary home for refugee
families resettling in Bendigo. The home would enable people to settle in and start to learn about Australian culture, before moving to other accommodation. “This is such a worthwhile campaign and something that I’ve seen develop over time, that’s why this week I’m making the pledge to buy 10 bricks,” Ms Chesters said. “More than 2000 Karen refugees

The site at 20 Pine Street, Eaglehawk, owned by the Karen Culture and Social Support Foundation, will be home to a three bedroom house, communal dining space, Buddhist monastery and car park.

Karen community member Ah Pay said sport, community and jobs are what makes people in his community feel at home in Bendigo. “The house will help people when they are new arrivals to settle in temporarily and we will help them to find a house,” Mr Pay said. Adviser to the Karen community Ian Green said the finished project will be in three tiers, with the refugee house the first building to be completed. The City approved plans for the lot in 2017, with only earth works completed since then and the community eager to see the project progress. “The local residents here are wanting to see this get started and with some more state government funding likely, hopefully it happens soon,” Mr Green said. It is estimated the total cost of construction, landscaping and fitting could be as high as $2 million. To find out how to donate to the ‘Buy A Brick’ campaign, contact moonieinda@ kcssf.org.au

City approves budget
GREATER Bendigo councillors have voted to adopt the 2019/2020 budget after considering submissions from the community. Council received 40 submissions and a Committee of Council heard 13 verbal submissions during the public exhibition period for the proposed budget. Mayor Margaret O’Rourke said the community consultation process was very productive. “Councillors carefully considered all of the submissions and we would like to thank all of those in the community who contributed to the process,” Cr O’Rourke said.
Councillors allocate funds to community Changes to the proposed budget during the consultation period include allocating $70,000 funding for repairs to the O’Keefe Rail Trail; additional funding of up to $150,000 for recycling services to continue waste diversion from landfill programs; and funding of $130,000 to progress upgrades to the Redesdale Community Hub, which includes a $40,000 contribution from the Redesdale community. The back to basics budget will
invest $42.9 million across the municipality on critical infrastructure and a number of key projects include the completion of the Garden Gully Hockey Pavilion ($2m), an early years hub at Huntly Early Learning Centre ($1.9m), Ewing Park redevelopment ($1.6m), an Epsom Skate Park ($310,000) and a safe cycling lane between the city and La Trobe University ($300,000). Work in rural areas include sealing the Heathcote-Costerfield Road
Students star in hit musical
($110,000) and O’Brien’s Lane ($1m) in Longlea, a new dog park in Heathcote ($85,000) and construction of the West Marong main drain ($370,000). Also included in the capital program is $15.6m for sealed and unsealed roads as well as $3.1m on footpaths/shared pathways. Significant road projects include the $1m Lockington Road and $1.6m Patas Road improvements. The program is supported by $1.8m of Commonwealth Roads
to Recovery funding. Total drainage projects will see a $3.8m investment, which includes $600,000 Ritchies dam works and $572,000 Calder Highway works. The budget also allocates $2.7m funding for public furniture and fittings, including seat installations at Garden for the Future, as well as lighting upgrades at Weeroona Oval, Canterbury Oval and La Trobe University Bendigo Athletics Complex. Landfills at Eaglehawk, White Hills and Wolstencroft will benefit from an investment of $3.4m for rehabilitation works.
City scores in service survey The City of Greater Bendigo is performing at a similar rate to its regional and state-wide counterparts, according to results found in the latest Local Government Community Satisfaction Survey released yesterday. Bendigo’s scores largely met or exceeded 2019 regional centre and statewide results across the seven performance measures. The city recorded its highest result and greatest increase in the customer service performance measure, moving five points from 73 to 78, while there were also increases in the advocacy (53 to 55), making community decisions (54 to 57), sealed local roads (57 to 60) and overall performance (59 to 61) measures. Community consultation remained unchanged at 56 and overall council direction decreased from 57 to 53. Chief executive officer Craig Niemann said the increased customer service result was a great outcome for the organisation. “Staff across the organisation engage widely with the community, particularly our frontline customer support

staff, so it is pleasing to see their hard work and commitment to quality service reflected in the results,” Mr Niemann said. “It was also great to see we compare favourably with other regional and state-wide measures. Despite a drop in overall council direction, our result of 53 is the same as the statewide average and greater than the regional centres average of 52.” The report authors stated that while Greater Bendigo did not experience any declines in ratings, the index score of 47 for the residents of rural Bendigo category was significantly lower than the council average in this area. “Ratings of council are lowest in the area of lobbying (index score of 55) relative to other service areas evaluated. In addition, almost one in five (18 per cent) residents volunteer consultation and engagement as the council area most in need of improvement.” The survey included 400 randomly selected people, 215 men and 185 women, and of these 365 people lived in the urban area and 35 in a rural community.

Call for industrial land
A NEW draft industrial land development strategy to guide future supply and development has been endorsed by City of Greater Bendigo councillors. Director of Strategy and Growth Bernie O’Sullivan said the city was working with the Victorian Planning Authority on the Draft Greater Bendigo Industrial Land Development Strategy. The draft will provide a framework to meet the changing needs of businesses in the region and support future job opportunities. “Greater Bendigo is an important leading hub for
major employment and an industrial centre for the broader Loddon Campaspe region,” Mr O’Sullivan said. “Times have changed quite significantly since the last strategy was completed in 2002. This new strategy will provide a proactive direction for the development of industrial land in Greater Bendigo so that the municipality is in a strong position to accommodate businesses wanting to relocate here and those wanting to expand existing operations.” The city wants to zone additional land for industrial purposes in the hope of attracting new industries and helping existing businesses grow to support more
than 3300 new jobs by 2036. “Our current industrial land supply is forecast to run out in around 14 years, if all land currently classified as available can be used,” Mr O’Sullivan said.
“
of industrial land will be needed by 2036, with 120ha of “available” land at present, although in smaller lots, heavily vegetated, inadequately serviced or close to residential development.

The location of new industrial land is to be determined. Mr O’Sullivan said alongside the draft strategy process, the city was also inviting landowners to participate in an expression of interest process to determine if there could be land available that
might be appropriately zoned for future industrial land use. “This is a voluntary process and we’d like to hear from landowners with land that meets a set of specific land criteria and who may be thinking about their property’s future use,” he said. “The land criteria involves large blocks of land greater than 30 hectares within 15km of the city centre or greater than 100 hectares located further than 15km from the city centre. “If the property meets the first stage criteria, further assessment will be required and we will work closely with willing landowners throughout later stages to see if the land is suitable.”
MAJOR INFLOWS COLIBAN Water storages have been boosted by more than 1430 megalitres of inflow during the past week. The 1438ML of increased stored water represents approximately two per cent of the total capacity of the three reservoirs located above Malmsbury. Coliban storages were at 61.5 per cent of capacity yesterday, compared to 67.1 per cent at the same time last year. Lake Eppalock was at 36.1 per cent yesterday, compared to approximately 61 per cent at this time last year.

LEARNING GOOD HABITS: Mila from Golden Square Kindergarten. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN
Kindergarten is all smiles over health award GOLDEN Square Kindergarten has received a Smiles 4 Miles award, recognising their work in improving the oral health of some of our youngest community members. Smiles 4 Miles is an oral health program for preschool-aged children developed by Dental Health
Services Victoria and implemented by Bendigo Health. The program educates children through a variety of fun learning experiences based on the Smiles 4 Miles key messages – drink well, eat well and clean well. Bendigo Health director of
health promotion Andy Sloane said the program is a way to promote children having healthy teeth and gums for life. “Good habits are formed early. Children take lessons they learn at a young age with them right up to adulthood,” Ms Sloane said.
Golden Square Kindergarten manager Carol O’Bree said the kindergarten is actively engaged in promoting healthy lifestyles. “Growing and cooking our own veggies helps children learn about food and expand on their nutritional knowledge,” Ms O’Bree said.
THE state government has capped rent increases to once every 12 months, in a move it says makes renting fairer for all Victorians. Prior to the changes, landlords were able to increase rent every six months under a tenancy agreement, leaving vulnerable or disadvantaged tenants often in a precarious financial situation. The cap on rent increases applies to fixed term and periodic tenancy agreements entered into from today, while existing arrangements will continue to apply until the lease ends. Tenants who believe a rent increase makes their property more expensive than similar homes can apply to Consumer Affairs Victoria for an assessment. From today also, the Red Book renting guide can be provided to tenants in digital form. Previously the guide – which must be provided to all tenants – was only available in hard copy.

Uni initiative
SCHOLARSHIP LAUNCH: Richard Speed, John Dewar and Evie Jennings. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN By NICHOLAS NAKOS
HIGH-achieving regional students will be guaranteed a scholarship and place at La Trobe University as part of a new Regional Benefits Program as par tof a program announced this week. Students with a minimum ATAR of 80 guaranteed a $2000 scholarship per year for the duration of their course if they study in Bendigo, Mildura, Shepparton or Albury-Wodonga. Vice-Chancellor Professor John Dewar said the initiative was aimed at attracting students to participate in higher education at a regional campus. “We have a lot of students that travel to the Bendigo campus already, but we want to increase the proportion of students who consider seriously studying at a regional university,” Mr Dewar said.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures reveal that 18-35 year olds living in metropolitan Melbourne are two to three times as likely as those in regional areas to hold a Bachelor degree or higher. A shortfall in participation rates at regional campuses has been one of La Trobe’s biggest drivers for offering these scholarships. “These scholarships mean we can attract more high-achieving students to our campuses. That is of significant benefit to the university,” Mr Dewar said. “Most of the benefits that we see will be in the community. “There will be more students that have a post-secondary school qualification that are better placed to address labour market issues in the future in regional communities.”
A total of $1 million will be invested across four years to fund the scholarships, with approximately 120 students expected to receive a scholarship each year. Regional students achieving an ATAR of 95 or more will receive $5000, with courses in dentistry, biomedical science (medical) and physiotherapy exempt. Bendigo student Evie Jennings moved to Bendigo from Swan Hill to study a Bachelor of Early Childhood and Primary Education. Ms Jennings is three quarters of the way through her studies and credits the receipt of a scholarship in her early years in reducing the financial strain that many of her contemporaries endure. “I know a lot of people that without financial assistance, wouldn’t be in the position they are now to study,” Ms Jennings said.

The following grants types are available: • Small grants – up to $3,000 (can apply at any time) • Medium grants – up to $10,000 (available November, March and July) • Large grants – up to $50,000 – with a maximum of $25,000 in any financial year (available biennially – next round 2020) • Community Group Essentials grants – up to $3,000 (can apply at any time) • Great Ideas Grant – up to $60,000 (available annually – next round 2020) • Bendigo Town Hall Community Use Subsidy program (can apply at any time) Training sessions are being held by the City to enable your organisation to find funding opportunities from various sources and also increase your chance of being successful for these Community Grants.

THE room was filled with smiling faces at the Refugee Week Business and Employee Recognition Awards hosted by the Rural Australians for Refugees Bendigo. RAR Bendigo convenor Christine Cummins said the inaugural gala dinner and presentations held at Fortuna Villa last night celebrated the achievements of employers and employees alike. The Small Business Recognition Award was won by Madcow Cleaning. The Large Business Recognition Award was won by Moira Mac’s Poultry and Fine Foods. The Employee of the Year in the Small Business/Team category was won by Say Ka Trace (Bendigo Health Dental Clinic) and the Employee of the Year in the Large Business category was won by Lwai Thaw Klay Pay Klay of Amicus. Matthew Parkinson from Madcow Cleaning said of their 27 employees, 23 were from a refugee background. “They are just wonderful employees,” he said. “They are Karen people, incredibly reliable and willing to learn. They’ve come from so far behind and it is just so satisfying for us to see their progress.” Marc Smith of Moira Mac’s Poultry and Fine Foods said their 19 employees were “fantastic”. Mr Smith said they run innumerable shifts and only one worker has had to turn down a shift, which was because of ill health. “It is a mutual arrangement for them and us.

CHATTING to comedian Meshel Laurie is a refreshing experience. Her style is friendly, upbeat and to the point. She may be known for numerous appearances on TV as well as radio and comedy gigs but there’s no pretentiousness as far as this one-woman show is concerned. We very quickly find ourselves talking about the myth of the Superwoman. “There are no super mums,” Meshel says emphatically. “Generally women who have a family and job have other women helping them.” And Meshel means women. “Women help women. I have an old family friend who we call ‘Nadgyi’ which is Hungarian for Nanna and she’s great at helping me with my two girls. “And I’ve also got a management team so they keep me on track, remind me about jobs.” Meshel says the older she gets the less pressure she feels to be all things to all people. The women Meshel feels most sympathy for are young women.

“They’re expected to be alluring, find a husband, have a great career and bring up a family. “It’s too much.

91 Inglis Street, West Bendigo
While formal entertainment was expensive back in the 50s, on a Saturday night many families played their favourite LPs, cracked a few beers and danced up a storm. The music these good ol’ boys play is contagious and includes songs such as Don’t Be Cruel, Hound Dog, Peggy Sue and Great Balls of Fire.
As a side note, the original musicians are all dead with the exception of Jerry Lee Lewis who is believed to be recovering from a stroke. The following night at the Capital, Michael Jackson will be taking the town by storm. Played by Melbourne performer TJ Cappola, his Michael Jackson concert fea-
tures a premier live band, professional dancers, identical choreography, replica costuming and a state of the art lighting spectacular. The Class of ‘59 is Back on its Rock & Roll Circus Tour and will perform at the Capital Theatre on Friday, June 28, with Michael Jackson on Saturday, June 29.

Bill reform planned
THE state government has proposed a series of reforms to the local government sector that could see the return of single ward councillors. The government is seeking community feedback on a plan it says will improve democracy, accountability and service delivery in Victoria’s 79 councils outlined in a proposed new local government act. Minister for Local Government Adem Somyurek said the government planned to introduce the Local Government Bill 2019 into Parliament later this year with six new proposed reforms. Greater Bendigo has three, three-councillor wards in a system intro-

duced at the 2012 elections. The 2019 bill builds on from the Local Government Bill 2018, which was the result of a three-year consultation with councils, communities and sector bodies. The government’s planned reform includes simplifying and clarifying enrolments for voters in council elections; introducing mandatory training for council election candidates and councilors; capping electoral campaign donations and gifts; allowing for the dismissal of a councillor after a communityinitiated Commission of Inquiry; defining standards of conduct to guide councillor behaviour and
make dealing with councillor conduct issues faster and easier; and introducing a preference for single member wards to make councils more accountable. Mr Somyurek said the new laws would help councils be more accountable, democratic and responsive. “These changes boost consultation and engagement between councils, residents, ratepayers and businesses as well as providing for ongoing accountability. We need a modern local government act that meets the changing needs and expectations of Victorians – these are important changes that will deliver better outcomes for local communities.”
The new bill retains the reforms under the 2018 bill that were designed to empower councils to improve service delivery, by focusing on deliberative engagement and long-term financial management. The rating provisions will remain in the Local Government Act 1989 until the rating system review finalises its recommendations to government in May 2020. This will ensure that any changes made to the rating system address the findings of the review.

BSE embraces multiculturalism BENDIGO South East College has celebrated Multicultural Week with a range of activities aimed at starting a conversation about culture and cultural diversity. Students participated in lunchtime activities across the week, ranging from sports and
games to films and food stalls. A traditional board game, Congklak, hailing from Malaysia, Singapore and southern Thailand, among other countries in the region, was played on Monday. The game is played by two people on carved wooden, elon-
gated boards with cup-shaped holes. The week’s activities culminate in food stalls this afternoon, where language students will cook and sell food from Indonesia, Germany and China, with proceeds going towards each of their respective overseas trip.

No race on roads
Runway questions
THE tragedy that is Victoria’s 2019 road toll may be a result of a strange phenomenon in the psyche of some of the driving public. I regularly drive from Wedderburn to Bendigo return, and, when safe to do so I drive at around 100km/h, yet, with monotonous regularity I am tailgated and passed by other vehicles. It really is unnecessary to pass a vehicle doing the speed limit yet it occurs all the time as drivers have an apparent need to be in front and “winning” something or other which exists only in the imagination of the driver passing. Regularly they race up behind me, tailgate for a few kilometres, then pass, only to pull in front of me and low and behold, they brake. Why on earth does it occur? If we all drive at the speed limit when safe to do so, passing should be an occasional matter not a regular driving manoeuvre. So take it easy fellow road users and leave a gap between you and the vehicle in front of you and remember, fair dinkum, there is no race. Stephen Colbert, Wedderburn
I HAVE been patiently awaiting a response from our council, the City of Greater Bendigo, to Simon Dillon’s letter titled “Runway a Pup?” Bendigo Weekly, June 7, where he claims after some basic research that the new $15 million runway at the Bendigo Airport has only a pavement Classification Number 19. Apparently this classification will limit planes like the Qantas Dash 8Q with a capacity of just 74 passengers that will be weight limited flying in and out of Bendigo because the runway surface is not strong enough. Did council realise how limiting this will be for the future growth of air services at Bendigo Airport? Has Simon got his facts wrong or is it a glaring mistake by council? We deserve clarification because council stumped up our money towards the project. As we all know too well council and its officers are quick to hit the printing press to correct any errors made by letter writers on council matters, though I note they are strangely silent in replying to well researched letters from both Ted Coleman and Michael McKenzie. Council ducks for cover when inconvenient facts are brought to light with no response or debate on those issues. Council, now is the time to set the record straight on the new runway once and for all. Robert K Smallpage, Huntly
In support I WRITE to support Bill Collier’s (Bendigo Weekly, Letters, June 14) call for a Bill of Rights to protect “free speech, association and free press”. Former High Court Justice, Michael Kirby, as reported in Lawyers Weekly, June 3, 2019, also says “the time has come for Australia to consider the introduction of a Bill of Rights, in order to better protect the fundamental principles of equality before the law”. He said that a Bill of Rights would include “the fundamental principles that bind us together and… (these) should be bipartisan”. A Bill of Rights “provides a hook on which to hang the arguments (against) inequality and injustice. “It would give us the opportunity to develop our national identity, to enshrine the principles we are prepared to stand for in a positive and inclusive way.” I remember debating the need for a Bill of Rights in the early 70s, when such a bill looked possible. The reason we haven’t adopted a Bill of Rights in the 45 years since then, is probably because such a bill might impede the government of the day, introducing convenient but inequitable and unjust legislation. Leigh Callinan, Bendigo
View Street peril WITH all the discussion on pedestrian crossings of late I would like to speak on the View Street pedestrian crossing. As a weekly patron of the Gallery Cafe I need to cross over View Street. Before the new crossing, I used to cross the road on the uphill side of the roundabout and go into the QEO car park. Cars coming up the hill had to slow for the roundabout and the island in the middle of the road offered sanctuary. The next two lanes were okay too, as your visibility towards Barnard Street was unobstructed. After the new crossing was completed, I now walk down and cross there, knowing I am using a designated crossing. Since using it, I have had three near misses. All have been on the downhill, two lane side of the road. All have involved cars being driven in the kerbside lane and I have
PICK OF THE WEEK: Evening on a country road. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN For more photos go to www.newbendigophotos.com been at least halfway across the first lane. The drivers do not seem to acknowledge your presence. Nor are they travelling at the posted 40km/h limit. It is quite frightening. What adds to my concern is the number of visitors coming to the gallery who use this crossing and put their trust in the drivers using View Street. Crossing any road is a risk and using a designated crossing should make it easier, but in my experience this is not the case. Peter Stephens, Bendigo
Assisted dying scenarios ATTENTION has been directed exclusively to the short-term, shortlived benefits of the Victorian Labor government’s “assisted dying” medicinal murder scheme but in all fairness, acknowledgement should be given to the long-term advantages such power affords the state government and every voter in the country. The scheme will shrink those embarrassing suicide statistics by sweeping an entire subsection under the rug of a redefining legal apparatus. It will free up beds in medical institutions and care facilities, make beds available in homeless shelters and reduce overcrowding in jails and refugee camps. Research and development money, flowing into a new market,
• Sand & Soil • Gravel • Mulch • Turf • Manure • Decorative Stone
will enable the science and medical industries to devise drugs and machines that fill faster and more efficiently, thus stimulating the stock market. Australia could become a leader in the field and offer education and training programs to workers in foreign countries which are looking for better ways to kill their citizens. For the suicide tourism market a convenient website can be designed where international and interstate visitors can book for their (nonrefundable) state executions. It will clear the courtrooms of cases against doctors and nurses and deflect investigations into the contribution the medical industry makes to the physical, mental and emotional illnesses that afflict the nation. The popularity of the scheme will probe its success and generate jobs and growth. Australia, this world can all be yours. Or you can choose life. Sally Anne Pethebridge, Bendigo
Roundabout solution MY work requires me to use the Mitchell Street roundabout at various times of the day. Courtesy and common sense work well and safety issues only arise when cars don’t take personal responsibility for checking for pedestrians at the crossings.
But there are a couple of times most days when it becomes a roadblock on a busy intersection. When train commuters cross to go in to town, the crossings to the south and west block the roundabout for quite a while. A simple fix is to make pedestrians cross to the east and therefore north of the roundabout as those sides have the least traffic. Regarding pedestrians on Mitchell Street, a segment of the youth love playing chicken by running across in front of traffic near the mall. It is inevitable that at least one will be hit. Regrettably the driver will probably be blamed. Bruce Jones, White Hills

Welcoming city Editorial Comment Local support agencies have relished the opportunity to engage with many of those who have chosen Bendigo as their home. There has been support and empathy from the state government to help those agencies and organisations charged with rendering service and support and recognize the extra call on their resources. This is a good story for Bendigo. Bendigo has become a welcoming city and we have been enriched by what others have brought to us. Different cultures, different faiths, different sports and different languages can be barriers, but they can also be opportunities. Approximately 15 years ago, the City of Bendigo operated a highly successful skilled migration program, in conjunction with the
pk with Peter Kennedy
state government that won it much acclaim and deserved acknowledgement. The program offered newly settled Bendigo residents the chance to live and work in our community and to share in what Bendigo had to offer their families. This was, arguably, the beginning of what we now share today. Most of our more recently arrived citizens have come from India, Thailand and Burma (Myanmar). And while it’s easy to think that many came to Bendigo to learn and enjoy a new way of life, it would be foolish not to also acknowledge that this has been a learning experience for all of us. As Australians we are privileged to share our fortunate way of life and the relative luxuries and lifestyle living in this country affords us all. We should be grateful that we have the opportunity, and the means to do so.
Footy star’s losing bet
IT used to be that you were a bloody idiot if you were caught drink driving, and for the record – you still are, but it turns out bloody idiots don’t just make mistakes when they get behind the wheel after too many beers. Take, for example, the high-profile case of Collingwood star Jaidyn Stephenson, who was this week booted from the game he loves for 10 weeks, after being found guilty of placing bets on the game he is paid to play, and on games he was playing in. The AFL has an integrity unit – and in an industry where so much could go wrong and no one can afford to leave anything to chance, but maybe it needs an intelligence unit as well. On the one hand, it’s difficult to understand how a well-paid professional footballer, nurtured by Australia’s self-professed greatest sporting club, could be even remotely attracted to the punt, when he would have had it drummed into him that any such behav-
iour is against the rules and a breach would result in an extremely harsh penalty. No matter how much Stephenson stood to gain from his idiotic wagers, he stood to lose a lot more, and that has now been very publicly demonstrated to the 2018 Rising Star winner. Professional athletes who indulge in gambling
ance at a hastily convened press conference on Wednesday after his penalty was revealed showed a young man who acknowledged his wrongdoings, and who had just become fully aware of the implications. His comment that this was enough to ‘almost’ make himself give up gambling was ‘almost’ a good
Integrity cannot be bought or sold; it has to be earned. risk everything. A string of Victorian jockeys were recently fined and banned after being found guilty of placing bets back in March, but none of the bets related to races they were involved in. Stephenson, on the other hand, did cross this line, and he can consider himself lucky not to face an even longer stint on the sidelines for his reckless stupidity and short-sightedness. His contrite appear-
one, save for the ‘almost’. Almost? Stephenson’s reputation is in tatters. His team (and the team I am proud to follow) faces 10 weeks without one of its most important small forwards. He has been heavily sanctioned, and embarrassed. Supporters have been let down. So too the game. And that’s only ‘almost’ enough to make the player give up gambling?
Herein lies an even bigger problem, not just for Jaidyn Stephenson, and not just for his club. The AFL has a relationship with the betting industry that makes many in our community uneasy, and this week’s stunning revelations would only add more fuel to that gambling fire. It’s too easy to gamble, it’s too accessible and it’s pushed by commentators, media, flashy advertising and gambling companies themselves. It’s become much more widely accepted and crept into the game in a way that belies its potential harm and risks to anyone and everyone who gets involved. Integrity lies at the heart of all of us, and the things we do. That includes the work we do and the sport we play. Integrity cannot be bought or sold; it has to be earned. It’s easy to lose, but so much harder to earn. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigopublishing.com

THIS week marks a special moment for Bendigo, with the announcement of the inaugural Refugee Week Business and Employee Recognition Awards hosted by the Rural Australians for Refugees Bendigo. It’s a welcome move that acknowledges the remarkable contribution a group of people has made to our city and broader region, despite having been here just a short time. In that time, Bendigo has come a long way, and we have grown from being one of the most Anglo-Saxon federal electorates in Australia, to one whose multicultural character has undergone a massive and relatively rapid transformation. The 2016 census revealed our city’s population was about 112,000 and approximately eight per cent of us were born overseas. That might not seem a lot, but a few decades ago, just on five per cent of us could make that same claim.

Putting waste plastics to use N
obody could accuse a central Victorian farmer and entrepreneur of not tackling world environmental problems head on with a ground-breaking entry into this year’s Be.Bendigo Invention and Innovation Awards. Carly Noble and Oxo-Bioplastics International have a plan to turn some of the disregarded 350,000 tonnes of plastic agricultural waste into a biodegradable silage wrap and net, suitable for the agricultural industry. The concept came when Carly was investigating ways to lower costs associated with excess silage wrap/ net and reduce the environmental and financial costs to farmers like herself. “This process can be applied to other products in other sectors – cotton, horticulture, viticulture as the possibilities are endless,” Carly said. Using Oxo-Bioplastics’ Return to Earth treatment, recycled plastics return-to-farm as silage wraps and nets offering a longer shelf life than conventional silage films along with anticipated cost benefits. Once used the silage wraps/ nets can be integrated into the farms composting regime, where it
will rapidly break down providing nutrients to micro-organisms before adding much needed carbon to the environment. Three grad students in the United Kingdom are developing an edible silage wrap manufactured from new material that may change the industry significantly, but Carly’s idea focuses on recycled plastics, minimising waste and making the most of available resources. “The product is now coming through the trial stage as it has been presented to Meat Livestock Australia as part of a new project trial along with support from Dairy Australia,” Carly said. The annual Bendigo Invention and Innovation Awards is testament to the innovative and forward-thinking approach of central Victorians with entries now open across four categories. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, September 3 as part of the Bendigo Invention and Innovation Festival. To find out more or apply visit www.biif.com.au

Puppy carers wanted A
ESSENTIAL: Seeing Eye Dog trainer Brittany McCarthy and four-month-old Jerry are on the lookout for more carers.
LTHOUGH Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs is located in Melbourne, it takes volunteers from all over Victoria to help raise world-class dogs, thanks partially to Bendigo’s patient and compassionate puppy caring crew. Local Seeing Eye Dogs puppy development trainer Brittany McCarthy and her group of 20 puppy carers believe that Bendigo is one of the best places to help raise a Seeing Eye Dog puppy. “There are so many great places to train puppies in Bendigo,” Brittany said. “It’s a friendly community where the puppies are always welcome.” Puppy caring is looking after a Seeing Eye Dog puppy from eight weeks-of-age. It is the carer’s responsibility to teach the dog basics skills such as waiting, toileting on command and walking on lead among other things. “I don’t think there is the widespread knowledge about all the different types of caring that is available for people,” Brittany said. “You don’t have to commit for the full 12 months. “While you will have to give the pup back as it enters formal training back in Melbourne, there is always the option to care for another pup straight away. “I think it’s important to increase the puppy carers in the regional areas because people out here have so much to give. “We are building an amazing community of like-minded people who love dogs and want to give back. “ There are more people out there that we haven’t reached yet, who could gain as much from our program as they give.”

It’s easier Toying with creativity than it A looks T the Discovery Science & Technology Centre you can dabble with physics, maths and engineering during the school holidays, by exploring the hidden world of toys with their latest science show: No Batteries Included. After all who can power our toys when the lights go out and the gears stop turning? This live science demonstration will explore the many ways we powered toys before batteries, while taking scientific questioning to silly extremes. The demonstration is then
followed by a hands-on Maker’s Space workshop, exploring moving parts, springs and the whirling things found within toys. This fun-filled activity allows young discoverers to create their own toys. While for eager, space travellers the popular Planetarium is screening a series of fun, short animations about the solar system and what it takes to be an astronaut. The Discovery Science & Technology Centre, Railway Place Bendigo. Open daily between 10am and 4pm these school holidays.

Bookings essential, minimum age six years. If you are just a little too young, there is always clay play, only $5. Alternatively why not try your hand at decorating a plate or mug. Sessions run from 11am, 1pm and 3pm Monday through to Friday during the school holidays only. Cost is $22 per artist which includes glazing and firing – suitable for all ages. Bookings are essential. And in further developments, the addition of the new Centre for Learning and Design, a ceramic studio within Australia’s historic Bendigo Pottery is dedicated to mentoring emerging potters and ceramic artists, with skill development and network connections under the
guidance of creative director Dr Damon Moon. As well as opportunities for professional potters at all levels, there are regular short courses in wheel throwing and studio techniques for novice through to intermediate, further expanding a range of different educational opportunities at Australia’s oldest continually operating pottery.

EATHER permitting, July’s school holidays can be the perfect time to head on down to several suburban waterways throughout Bendigo, to take advantage of the state government’s regular school holiday fish stocking program. More than 1600 ready-to-catch rainbow trout have been stocked into Kennington Reservoir, Neanger Park Lake, Lake Tom Thumb, Forest lake and Crusoe Reservoir. These advanced yearlings should provide ideal holiday fun, especially for those trying to catch a fish for the first time, as they will take a variety of bait and lures. Holiday fish stockings are funded by recreational fishing licence fees and the state government’s $46 million Target One Million plan, which aims to get more people fishing, more often. Anglers of all ages are reminded that
a daily bag limit of five trout applies, of which only two can exceed 35 centimetres. Children do not require a recreational fishing licence but most participating adults will – available online or at major fishing tackle outlets.

APPOINTMENT

ACCOUNTANT Jason Kharoofa had witnessed many individuals, businesses and organisations struggle with the complexity of their tax obligations, especially prior to establishing his own practice Bendigo Accounting and Finance in 2014 in Strath Village. Jason’s extensive accounting experience and relevant qualifications is further enhanced by his positive and can do attitude, ethical approach and the fact that he was trained and mentored by some the finest in the business. Travel and car expenses, education and training along with a host of other items add a potential minefield for unsuspecting taxpayers if claimed illegitimately - intentionally or not. Jason recommends keeping a record of all vehicle expenses where haven’t been reimbursed for cost and being able to show how you worked out business usage. “Don’t claim if the car is salary sacrificed or packaged, any travel was reimbursed and any travel from home to work and vice-versa is excluded no matter how far,” Jason said. Education and training is also another area often mistakenly claimed. “Any training or courses claimed must be directly linked to your current position within your current employment and is likely to maintain

or increase your salary. Work related clothing claims will also come under extra scrutiny this year with only protective clothing, uniforms and or occupation specific clothing permitted. “You will not be able to claim the black pants, yellow tie, red suit and sportswear even if your employer requires you to wear them.” Any donations claimed must be to approved charities or political parties, keeping in mind the majority of international donations are ineligible as are any donations purchased as raffle tickets. Union and professional association membership fees are legitimate claims as is stationery, diaries and office related expenses, tools of trade, police and working with children checks. And don’t forget your accountancy or previous unclaimed taxation fees either. Jason also reminds his many clients that for 2018/19 employees can access their income statement from their MyGov Account and proposed changes to the low to middle income earners tax offset look likely to eventuate.

Cane ball kicks off
Athletes go for classic crown BENDIGO Harriers Athletics Club marks a return to One Tree Hill this Saturday for the popular King and Queen of the Mountain classic. Racing starts at 2pm along Edwards Road in Flora Hill. Many talented athletes have ruled the climb in one of the club’s most prestigious events on the cross country calendar. The 3km showdown will be to the top of One Tree Hill, but the 1km and 500m races will be through the bush. Bendigo University Athletics Club heads to Golden Square for the Ham Street Hustle. The 6.9km event will start at 2pm from the Unity Mining carpark. Those competing in the longest distance of the day should register by 1.45pm. After the 6.9km is completed athletes will contest the 1km, which will be followed by the 3km and the 500m untimed dash. Athletes running in the shorter events should aim to register by 2.45pm. To get to the course, from Hattam Street in Golden Square turn south into McDougal Road. After one kilometre turn right into Ham Street, travel another 500 metres and enter the Unity Mining car park on the left. A big day of cross country action includes South Bendigo Athletics Club being at Millers Flat Road, Whipstick. Eaglehawk will race on the Majors Road course in Eaglehawk. Meanwile, Flack Advisory Bendigo Region will have four teams chasing glory in Saturday’s running of the Anglesea Surf Coast Ekiden Relays. Athletes will run legs of varying distances on the Great Ocean Road. Bendigo will be represented in division two men, division five men, 50-plus men, and women’s division four.

to Bendigo to participate. “Organisers are thrilled to have doubled the number of players in just the second year of the tournament,” Bendigo Karen Youth Network group leader Nay Chee Aung said. Cane ball is a traditional activity from the Karen community and is considered the national sport of Myanmar
and people living in refugee camps in that region. The sport features a handwoven rattan ball and is similar in skills to games like hacky sack. “We are showcasing the Karen community and their contribution to Bendigo,” Mr Aung said. The Bendigo community
Miners stay fourth THE Bendigo Miners were back in action last weekend as they fell narrowly on the road to Maroondah. The Griffins saluted 28-22 in a close match, with defensive lapses in the narrow channels proving costly for Bendigo. An early 8-0 lead by the visitors was gained via a try and penalty goal from flanker David McDonald. Maroondah struck three times in succession to open up a 21-8 lead. Centre Joe Worthington fired back for the Miners, with all inside backs involved in a play that saw him cross to reduce the margin to just six points in favour of the hosts. Maroondah loose forwards shredded the Bendigo ruck and ran 40 metres to establish a matchwinning lead with just minutes remaining. After the hooter, winger Jeremy Lingen scored an 80 metre try, beating three tired defenders and the cover defence to earn the Miners a hard fought bonus point. Bendigo has maintained its position in fourth spot on the standings, after losses by Ballarat and Monash University last weekend. The Miners are back in action tomorrow at Epsom when they take on rivals the Ballarat Highlanders. Scorers: McDonald, Worthington, Lingen tries; McDonald 2 goals, 1 penalty goal.
NARROW WIN: Bendigo East faced the Dodgers.
Dodgers luck out BENDIGO East hosted the Strathfieldsaye Dodgers in Round 8 of the Bendigo Baseball Association last Sunday. In the Division 1 match, Bendigo East looked in control the whole game, led by pitcher Charlie Hay. The Dodgers mounted a comeback in the last inning, scoring seven runs to take a 9-5 lead, before Bendigo East narrowed the margin to two runs. The game was called before the inning could be played out, reverting the score back to 5-2 in favour of Bendigo East.
“It’s not the ideal way to win a game, it definitely feels like we have dodged a bullet,” Bendigo East Division 1 manager AJ Sherriff said after the game. In the Division 2 game, Bendigo East won a high scoring contest 12-10, with Kaileb Anglin starring with three base hits for Bendigo East. The Dodgers will look to bounce back on Sunday when they host the Falcons in Strathfieldsaye and Bendigo East will visit Scots in Eaglehawk, in a bid to extend their winning streak.

Braves women on a roll THE Braves women won their 13th game of the season after a 76-57 win against the Albury Wodonga Bandits last Saturday night. Coach Megan Moody used the blowout win to reduce the minutes of some of her starters, with Gabe Richards playing just 27 minutes. Becca Tobin was effective on the inside, scoring 22 points on 9/13 shooting to lead all scorers. Starter Tessa Lavey missed the game against the Bandits with an ankle complaint, but is set to line up tomorrow against Ballarat. “I had a cortisone injection in my ankle. I’ll be fine this week, I just needed to rest that game,” Lavey said. The guard was impressed with the Braves’ depth and defence against Albury. “Our defence made the game and I was really happy with how the girls played,” Lavey said. The Braves won every quarter against the Bandits and took a 12-point lead to the main break. It was also a victorious evening at the Lauren Jackson Sports Centre for the Braves men, who snapped their losing streak to record a 93-83 win. A 24-11 second quarter run set up the win and big nights from Mathiang Muo and Deonte Burton ensured the Braves would return home with a win. Burton scored 29 points and played the full game, while Muo dropped 29 points on 12/19 shooting. The win ensures the Braves stay in touch with the top eight in ninth spot, with five games remaining in the regular season. Bendigo returns home for a grudge match against Ballarat on Saturday night, with the women’s game tipping off at 5.30pm and the men to follow at 7.30pm.

BFNL PULLS OUT THE 2019 BFNL open netball representative team has withdrawn from this weekend’s Netball Victoria Association Championships to be played in Frankston. Multiple players were unable to make themselves available to travel to Frankston for the tournament, leading to the difficult decision to withdraw.
VICTORIES FOR LIGHTNING NORTHWEST Lightning women continued their strong mid-season form with both sides snatching wins against Monash University at home last Saturday. It was the team’s defence that kept a storming Monash attack to a single score for the second half to secure the win 2-1. The reserves side opened in similar fashion to the first team, with a first half goal to Shanaye Alexander setting up a 1-0 win. Tomorrow will see another home game for the Lightning against Brunswick at Bendigo’s Ashley Street Hockey Fields. The reserves game starts at 2pm, with the Victoria League 1 match at 3.30pm.
GUILLOU WINS FIRST THE South Bendigo Athletic Club hosted its eighth cross country run of the season at Landry’s Road last weekend. In the 8 kilometre event, Jackie Guillou secured her first victory of 2019. In the 3km middle distance race, invitation athlete Mack Skinner crossed first. Kai Norton returned to the track in the 1500 metre race and secured victory. In the under-10’s 800m, Lily Brennan registered her maiden club victory. Any interested new runners, please contact Peter on 0417 684 306 or visit the South Bendigo Athletic Club facebook page for more information.

Hawks Storm brewing
STRATHFIELDSAYE and Eaglehawk will clash in a grand final replay in the Bendigo Football Netball League round 10 game of the round tomorrow. The defending premiers will be looking for a strong show of support from their loyal supporters when they host the rampaging flag favourites at Canterbury Park. Goal kicking sensation Lachlan Sharp is fresh off a 16-goal haul against Maryborough, but will come in for much closer scrutiny from the Borough’s defenders. Sharp has raced to 76 goals in just nine starts this season in an impressive display that has some commentators predicting he could go close to setting a new benchmark by season’s end. Eaglehawk will be buoyed by last week’s solid team performance when they bounced back to form with a 93-point victory over a disappointing Kangaroo Flat. Strath sits atop the premiership ladder with nine wins, but is sure to find the Borough a tougher assignment. In other round 10 contests, Maryborough will be looking to erase the memory of last week’s big loss against the Storm, when they host South Bendigo at Maryborough’s Princes Park. South Bendigo notched up its second win of the season last weekend against Castlemaine, booting 21.24 (150) to 7.11 (53) at Kennington’s Harry Trott Oval. Kaiden Antonowicz kicked seven goals to continue his good form for the Bloods. Gisborne will be seeking a win, and a percentage booster, when they host the winless Castlemaine at Gardiner Reserve. The Bulldogs suffered a surprise loss against a classy Golden Square at Wade Street last weekend, with the home side restricting the powerful Gisborne forwards to just four goals in a disciplined display of football. Golden Square takes on Kyneton at Wade Street this weekend, and should also take the points, while Sandhurst and Kangaroo Flat lineup at the Queen Elizabeth Oval.

Grand final for CMC CATHERINE McAuley College will go into next week’s School Sport Victoria premier league football final full of confidence after smashing an understrength Mornington Secondary College by 133 points in a brilliant display of attacking footy at the QEO on Wednesday. The home side won 24.13 (157) to 3.6 (24) against a team missing some of its better players, and with just a single interchange player. CMC will meet Essendon-Keilor College in next Wednesday’s grand final, to be played in Melbourne.
