Boxing champ Jeff Horn flies in

FORMER world champion boxer Jeff Horn will fly into Bendigo this morning to officially launch next month’s much anticipated bout against Melbourne’s Michael Zerafa at Bendigo Stadium.

Brisbane based Horn is expected to travel by helicopter from Melbourne airport as part of a lightning visit to the city for today’s announcement, with tickets for the non-title fight on sale from today.

Fight promoter Dean Lonergan yesterday told the Bendigo Weekly he wanted to make Bendigo “the capital city of Australian boxing” in a bid to capitalise on its rich heritage and outstanding sporting facilities.

“There’s a massive history in boxing in Bendigo – the city itself is named after a bare knuckled boxer from the 1850s, and I think a lot of people forget that fact.”

Mr Lonergan praised the support he has received from the City of Greater Bendigo and Bendigo Stadium as the fight draws near, and said when people are prepared to back boxing, you seek them out.

“I’m very keen to get Jeff’s name out and about all around Australia. For most of Jeff’s career we have fought in Queensland, New Zealand or America… we need to build his profile down here and what better way to do it than to fight a Melburnian in the regions.”

Mr Lonergan, a former rugby

league player who represented his country 15 times has spent much of the past three weeks in Bendigo finalising plans for the August 31 event, and yesterday praised the city for its enthusiasm and friendliness.

“We’re bringing a world class fight here and people are getting really excited.”

Mr Lonergan said he looked around Australia before settling on Bendigo for Horn’s next fight, and said he remained a huge advocate for the work

“We’re bringing a world class fight here and people are getting excited” of the City of Greater Bendigo events team led by Terry Karamaloudis and also Visit Victoria.

“We’ve got distribution rights for this fight right across Australia, it will probably go into New Zealand and more likely into the United States.”

Mr Lonergan said a series of vignettes would be produced in Bendigo over the coming weeks to showcase the city to the expected huge fight audience.

“We’ve got six minutes dedicated to the city of Bendigo and all the cool things there are to do here.

HOME TRUTHS

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 5, 2019

The Weekly look at the local real estate market

Rate cuts aid buyers THIS week’s Reserve Bank decision to cut interest rates to a new record low will help affordability for home buyers, according to the Real Estate Institute of Australia.

“The second cut in as many months is a major boost to housing affordability,” REIA president Adrian Kelly said.

“Subject to the banks passing on the cuts in full this means that for each $100k borrowed annual payments decrease by $500. For a first home buyer, who in the March quarter of 2019 had an average loan size of $338k this means a saving of $140 per month.”

The REIA’s Housing Affordability Report for the March quarter showed the proportion of income required to meet loan repayments decreased to 30.3 per cent over the quarter, a decrease of 0.9 percentage points and a decrease of 1.0 percentage points over the past year.

“The two interest rate cuts in consecutive months would see this proportion decrease to 28.6 per cent, the lowest since 2003 and comes at a most opportune time for first home buyers.

“Unlike the last series of cuts in 2015 and 2016 which

stimulated the housing market through increased investor activity this cut will stabilise the market.”

Mr Kelly said first home buyers will benefit most with the number of first home buyers decreasing nationally to 8010 in April with the average for the first four months of 2019 being 8319, down by 1100 per month compared to the last four months of 2018.

THE Housing Industry Association said new home sales in May bounced back to their highest monthly level in over a year, in a positive move for the industry.

Chief economist Tim Reardon said the HIA New Home Sales report – a monthly survey of the largest volume home builders in the five largest states – provides an early indication of trends in the residential building industry.

“The pick up in sales during May follows lacklustre results throughout the first four months of 2019.

“Federal elections always impact market confidence and the discussion around new tax imposts on investors through an increase in capital gains tax mag-

“This month’s result confirms our expectation that the decline in building activity will start to level off in the second half of 2019 and stabilise at a level below the highs achieved back in 2017.”

Mr Reardon said the resurgence in home sales was evident across all five states covered by the New Home Sales survey, suggesting a broad based improvement in housing market sentiment around the country.

“An easing of the credit squeeze, lower interest rates and an expectation that APRA will implement reforms to mortgage lending guidelines are also factors supporting the lift in

Bendigo youth pass education bill

By SAM KANE

BENDIGO’S team at the YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament saw success this week after their bill arguing for all Victorian public secondary school students to receive compulsory LGBTIQ sex education was passed unanimously.

The week-long program saw 20 teams converge on Spring Street to debate the bill subjects close to their hearts, with those being successful now handed on to the relevant Victorian Government minister.

In Monday’s debate in the state’s Legislative Assembly, Bendigo’s Georgia Cuta-

jar, Lucy McNaughton-Perry, Cheyenne Cadence, Billie Taylor, Penelope Dodsworth and Annika Ritchie spoke about key aspects of their proposal, including the need for inclusiveness in schools, staff receiving specialist LGBTIQ education and the new curriculum being reviewed every five years.

Ms Ritchie said having the bill pass unanimously showed youth care about their education.

“Everyone in the chamber stood up to speak with advocacy in favour of this bill, proving not only do youth want LGBTIQ sex education, but will scream loud and proud for this,” she said.

SAVE TIME! GET THE FLU SHOT AT UFS PHARMACIES

Ms Taylor said the issue was important to promote inclusivity in both the curriculum and school communities.

“It gives every student the equal opportunity to learn every aspect of sexuality and sexual relationships.

“It is so important this information is accessible for every student.”

Across the week, the team also had the opportunity to speak in the chamber on other Bills written by teams, gaining parliamentary techniques and an insight into the role of members of parliament.

“It was fantastic to be in a space filled with such passionate, driven and like-

minded youth,” Ms Ritchie said.

Ms Ritchie said the experience had given her skills she could take to other areas of her life, such as the Bendigo Youth Council where she currently serves as Deputy Youth Mayor.

“This has given me the momentum needed to make change within my own local government, not to be afraid but really push people of my community with ideas important to youth and to make sure our voices are heard and respected.”

Sam Kane is a member of the YMCA Youth Press Gallery.

sales activity.

“The slow start to 2019 has seen intense competition among home builders. The lift in sales shows that more home buyers are seeing opportunities in this competitive trading environment.

“Income tax cuts, solid population growth and accelerating wage growth are necessary to ensure that the market does not decline further,” concluded Mr Reardon.

New home sales jumped in all four major states, up by 54.2 per cent in New South Wales, by 34.0 per cent in Western Australia, by 26.0 per cent in Queensland, by 25.3 per cent in Victoria and by 0.9 per cent in South Australia.

Horn family to visit city From Page 1 “There is an incredible amount of high quality Victorian era buildings here and that in itself is a big attraction.

“The biggest thing that’s making this so exciting for me is the enthusiasm for the event from people I talk to, but also how good the people are here… I’ve really enjoyed it.”

He said today would be Horn’s first visit to Bendigo, and that the dedicated family man would set up camp with wife Jo and the couple’s two young children in Bendigo for a week before his fight against Zarefa.

“When the Horns travel – they’re a travelling family and they are really looking forward to it.”

Horn only had the one round in the past 12 months as a result of belting Anthony Mundine in the opening round of their clash and will step up in weight to take on Zerafa, but Lonergan expects Horn to be stronger and fitter for the move.

Fight to stem road toll

IT has been a tragic year on Victorian roads, with 50 more deaths recorded in the first half of the year compared to the same time a year ago.

The state government is planning to tackle road safety through the establishment of a dedicated office of road safety.

Road Safety Victoria will work with VicRoads, Victoria Police, the TAC and Department of Trans-

port, among others, to attempt to reduce Victoria’s road toll.

The Minister for Roads, Road Safety and the TAC Jaala Pulford said Victoria is an world leader in road safety.

“Road Safety Victoria will ensure we remain at the forefront of policy development, programs and initiatives,” Ms Pulford said.

Regional Victorians will have the chance to share and hear ideas on how to improve road safety in their area at community

forums across the state.

Bendigo is one of eight locations for the forums, along with Ballarat, Shepparton, Geelong,

“

“

By NICHOLAS NAKOS

The forum will be attended by road safety experts, local government and community leaders.

“We’re asking regional Victo-

rians to spare a couple of hours to speak with experts and fellow community members about what more can be done to stop people dying or being seriously injured on the roads they drive every day,” Ms Pulford said.

The Bendigo road safety forum takes place at the Bendigo RSL on Tuesday, September 3 at 5.45pm.

Horses for courses in the mall HORSES became the centre of attention in the Hargreaves Mall this week when the team from The Equine Effect took to the street to promote mental health and wellbeing.

Lucy the three-year-old mini pony was a hit, while Hawkie,

a 28-year-old retired champion show pony led the way. The Equine Effect is Australia’s only provider of workplace training and leadership development with horses, and helps build high functioning teams and support workers be their best.

COLIBAN Water has appointed Damian Wells as its next managing director.

Mr Wells is well known to the region as a former chief executive officer of the North Central Catchment Management Authority, and in his current role with the Environment Protection Authority.

Mr Wells said he was both honoured and humbled to have been appointed by the board to lead Coliban Water in the provision of vital water services for the future growth and prosperity of the region.

“I am deeply committed to the region and our inspiring communities.

My family calls the region home and we are grateful to be raising our children in such an amazing place,” Mr Wells said.

Board chairperson Lucy Roffey said Mr Wells’ depth of experience in aligned sectors working with regional and urban communities made him a standout candidate to lead Coliban Water.

“Damian has extensive experience at CEO and Executive Director level within the water and environment sectors, and his track record in strategic leadership is a great fit for Coliban Water,” Ms Roffey said.

Mr Wells will com-

APPOINTED: Damian Wells. mence as Managing Director of Coliban Water on August 5, and will remain in the role for five years.

Mr Wells said he has a strong connection with Coliban Water’s vision of Water to Live, Grow and Enjoy.

“The Board of Coliban Water has highlighted climate adaptation as a key leadership focus for Coliban Water, and I look forward to working with the organisation, stakeholders and most importantly our customers and communities in supporting the growth and prosperity of the region to meet long term water needs,” Mr Wells said.

The recruitment of a new managing director for Coliban Water followed the departure of former managing director Jeff Rigby in March.

Terror fear prompts fun run ban

THE 2019 Bendigo Bank Fun Run will not proceed due to increased requirements to protect the course from possible hostile vehicles.

The cost of implementing these new anti-terror measures mean the event is not feasible as a fundraiser.

In the past 12 years, the popular event has raised almost $890,000 for Bendigo Health, but this year was to be the first time tough new measures would have been required and the onerous conditions mean the event is not viable to run.

Bendigo Health Fundraising Advisory Board chairman Scott Elkington said the committee was disappointed that the event had been cancelled, but added safety was the number one priority.

“A course of this size which uses public roads is difficult and costly to secure,” Mr Elkington said.

“The time required to set up and pack down barriers was another consideration.

“We want to thank all our sponsors and ambassadors, including Bendigo Bank and the City of Greater Bendigo Council who had

NEW AWARD LAUNCHED BENDIGO Bank is backing a new community award as part of its support for the Bendigo Sports Star awards program.

The Bendigo Bank Community Minded Award was launched by state manager, Justine Minne, who said “the team and culture at the Bank puts diversity, inclusiveness and community connections front and centre” and they had identified the “need for a local sporting award that reflects and celebrates that”.

The award aims to encourage sporting teams and clubs to implement initiatives that have a positive impact on the community and those that will generate outcomes that have a long-term benefit.

The Bendigo Sports Star Awards are open for nominations year-round with the winner of the Community Minded category being awarded $2000 and the runner-up $1000.

already committed to the event and to reassure them we are grateful for their support and have a number of other fundraising ideas to ensure we can purchase much needed specialised equipment for our local hospital.

“A special thank you all our volunteers and our long time course director, Hunter Gill, who worked tirelessly for many years to create a great course and a wonderful event for our community.”

Mr Elkington yesterday told ABC Radio that the event would have required more than 55 trucks and semis to barricade roads, as well as police checks for the drivers of those vehicles to ensure people were kept as safe as they could be.

He said that the committee’s tight budgeting included a contingency factor of about 10 per cent, but the added burden of extra costs had put the event into a tight financial situation.

“Maybe there’re better ways and time and effort to try and raise funds for the hospital,” he said.

year, they will see a $24 reduction in their bill,” Mr Pearce said.

COLIBAN LOWERS FEES

THE City of Greater Bendigo is looking at three options for a new fenced dog park in Heathcote and is calling on residents to have their say on which site would be most suitable.

The options include sites located at Depot Road, Herriot Street or Pink Cliffs Road.

A listening post at the Heathcote Bush Market between 9am and noon tomorrow and another at the front of Gaffney’s Bakery 109 High Street from noon until 1.30pm on Tuesday will give residents the chance to have their say.

All feedback about the location of the dog park must be received by council by 5pm on Friday, July 26.

For further information contact Jane Marriott on 5434 6000.

FEES and charges for the current financial year at Coliban Water have dropped.

The lower prices are the result of a five-year pricing plan that Coliban Water submitted to the Essential Services Commission in 2018.

From July 1, most of Coliban’s prices will reduce by 1.8 per cent before the cost of inflation is added.

Currently, the cost of inflation is 1.3 per cent, representing a 0.5 per cent drop in prices.

Coliban’s acting managing director Neville Pearce said it’s fantastic to pass on these cost reductions to customers.

“For a residential household with average water consumption of 188 kilolitres per

“At the end of the day it really come down to the fact we just don’t think it’s really great use of the community’s generosity when we know that the hospital is getting

very little of the funds.”

He said public safety was paramount and despite several options being considered, they were all too costly to secure.

Police receive latest ballistic vests POLICE in Bendigo will be among the first in Victoria to receive new ballistic vests.

Police and Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville joined Victoria Police to announce the rollout of the $41 million investment in new and improved safety equipment, which was developed in close consultation with frontline officers.

The updated vests will help improve personal safety, comfort and mobility of police, while delivering a high standard of ballistic and spike protection.

They provide safe and streamlined access to equipment, improved freedom of movement and a more secure fit.

They are also lightweight, less bulky and have enhanced adjustability and thermal management to adapt to both warm and cold temperatures. Different configurations also allow the vests to be worn in both overt and covert scenarios.

Ms Neville said the new vests would help provide a safer working environment for dedicated police officers, while giving them better access to state-of-the-art crime fighting equipment.

“We’ve already seen that the new vests support increased movement, improved access to equipment and are more comfortable to wear in a vehicle.”

All uniform officers will be equipped with the new vests, along with Protective Services Officers, Police Custody Officers, Highway Patrol members, Crime Scene Services, investigators and the Mounted Branch.

The government funded the new vests as part of its $596 million Public Safety Package in 2016.

The ballistic vests will cater to technological advances and support modern policing, including the roll out of 11,000 body-worn cameras by 2020.

CELEBRATING NAIDOC WEEK

State supports families THE Minister for Child Protection Luke Donnellan has announced that $13.6 million will be spent over two years to boost the government’s efforts to transition more Aboriginal children to Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations.

Some $7.6 million will go towards helping more than 170 Aboriginal families, who will share in 200 hours of support to encourage reunification where possible.

“We’re taking action to make sure more Aboriginal children and young people can remain connected with their community and country while in care,” Mr Donnellan said.

A strong sense of identity and belonging is critical to Aboriginal children and young people’s wellbeing. The use of Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations ensures Aboriginal children and young people in care have a better opportunity to reach their full potential.

The latest data shows that almost 50 per cent of Aboriginal children in care are now managed by one of these organisations, 2.5 times more than two years ago.

“Victoria’s Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations do a terrific job caring for vulnerable young Aboriginal people who need their help – and we’re backing these groups, so they can do what they do best,” Mr Donnellan said.

Students get creative CRUSOE College is celebrating NAIDOC Week with the launch of a new mural.

A group of enthusiastic indigenous students in Years 7 and 8 had the opportunity to work on the installation with indigenous artist in residence, Michellie Charvat – a young Palawa woman studying Visual Arts at La Trobe University.

The students worked with Michellie to design the mural, and all placed their own mark on the artwork.

This year’s NAIDOC Week theme “Voice. Treaty. Truth. Let’s work together for a shared future”’, as well as recent studies into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, provided students with inspiration for the work.

Bunnings Kangaroo Flat supported the project with a donation of paint, with the mural on permanent display at the front of the school for community members to view.

Bendigo and District Aboriginal Co-Operative will be hosting NAIDOC Week Children’s Day activities at the school on Wednesday, July 10, from 10am-3pm.

DEEPLY RESPECTED: Jaara Jaara elder Uncle Brien Nelson. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Uncle Brien honoured

By DIANNE DEMPSEY THE life of highly esteemed Jaara Jaara elder Uncle Brien Nelson will be celebrated today at the Campbells Creek Community Centre.

His passing has been deeply felt by his family and the wider Jaara/Dja Dja Wurrung community.

Such was his commitment to the indigenous community, to reconciliation, to education, including to education at La Trobe’s Bendigo Campus, that in 2008 the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences made Uncle Brien an Honourary Associate because of his

lifetime contribution.

Uncle Brien was Chairman of the Jaara Jaara Aboriginal Cooperative and held many positions of responsibility in indigenous organisations concerned with land rights, economic development and community wellbeing.

He was the pre-eminent elder living on country, acted as a mentor and educator of younger indigenous people and was constantly involved in the work of preserving, recovering and passing on of his culture.

Among his many other achievements was his longstanding membership of the City of Greater Bendigo’s Reconciliation Working

Party and the Castlemaine Reconciliation Group.

He was employed by Parks Victoria section of the Department of Sustainability and Environment for 15 years until his retirement in 2007. Among the positions and roles he played in this organisation were membership of the Indigenous Cultural Liaison Group and the Indigenous Management Team.

His service extended to civic life in central Victoria where he frequently performed the “Welcome to Country” ceremony at hundreds of civic and community occasions.

He spoke at countless meetings, Sorry Days and

His generous giving of time and friendly manner created an atmosphere of goodwill and mutual support between indigenous and non-indigenous people in the region.

Finally there was a quality about him. A quality of gentleness and great wisdom.

It was as though his love for the land was reciprocated.

Uncle Brien’s service will be held at the Campbells Creek Community Centre at 2.30pm today.

It will be open to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people who wish to pay their respects.

THE annual Knuldoorong Art Exhibition is always a highlight of NAIDOC Week.

The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to purchase the work of the many local Aboriginal artists who use the occasion to exhibit their work which comes in various forms of multimedia.

One particular example is the work of Natasha Carter who is from the Jaara/Dja Dja Wurrung community.

Knuldoorong curator Janet Bromley said that Ms Carter’s work was gaining in strength and was very much connected to family.

Currently studying Certificate 2 in Aboriginal and Cultural Arts at BRIT, Ms Carter says her work is constantly changing and evolving.

Using latex and acrylic, Ms Carter says she is always intrigued by the process of taking away the latex and finding the design beneath it.

THE second main exhibition this NAIDOC week is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Fair which will be opened by Anne Conway (OA) on Saturday at 1pm.

The Art Fair represents another great opportunity to purchase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork and will be held at the former All Saints Church.

It will be held from 11am to 4pm from today until Sunday, and from 11am to 4pm from Friday, July 12 until Sunday, July 14.

The Art Fair will be holding a corporate event where businesses are invited to come to a floor talk and meet some of the artists on Wednesday, July 10 at 1pm. Email jmkrjk@yahoo.com.au or phone 0434 775 266.

Legend of verse

By DIANNE DEMPSEY

CONVERSATION: Annika Smethurst.

Renowned journo on stage NEWS Corps journalist James Jeffrey has a new role – as Anthony Albanese’s speech writer, so he sent a kind note to say he can’t come to the festival.

James was going to be in conversation with Annika Smethurst on Sunday, August 11 at 3pm, so we’re pleased to announce that Annika has agreed to be in conversation herself at that session-time.

You’ll probably be aware that her house in Canberra was raided in June by the Australian Federal Police, who had called her story about new cyber laws a threat to “national security”.

So, there will be plenty to talk about, and this will no doubt be a much-anticipated session. Also cartoonist, Jon Kudelka will talk with Lindy Burns solo now, instead of in tandem with James, on Saturday, August 10 at 4.30pm.

WRITERS are frequently asked about their writing day – how many hours do they spend at the desk?

Morning or night? Wine or coffee? For veteran songwriter Don Walker the routine goes something like this: “I try to leave the house or hotel I may be staying in and go for a drive.

“It will usually be late afternoon and I’ll look for a cafe where the coffee machine is going to be running for a couple of more hours. I’ll sit down and read the paper online. Then I’ll pull several pieces of paper out of my pocket. Each one will represent a song I’m working on, there might be six or seven at a time.

“So I gradually start playing with the words, moving them into the right places.”

Walker avoids projects with preconceived themes and looks for inspiration to happen in a more organic fashion.

“If you are staying at the one place for a time, or if

things happen around you, then concerns will leak into what you are writing.”

He makes it sound so easy. A few scraps of paper and a bit of inspiration but his creative ability has been honed over 40 years.

First there were the wild days with Cold Chisel, followed by Catfish and Tex, Don and Charlie as well as solo performances.

There are the songs that stay in the public conscious like Khe Sanh, Flame Trees, Cheap Wine and love songs as well.

The “concerns” that leak into his writing include Four in the Morning and The Way You are Tonight.

As Walker says in his latest book Songs, “Maybe all songs are love songs. To someone dear. To God. To the writer. To money.”

Even in the prose which punctuates Walker’s lyrics in Songs there is a certain preciseness. Not all songs are gifts, many are worked on for a long time until Walker is satisfied with the narrative and the arousal of some-

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 5, 2019

WORDSMITH: Don Walker. times elusive emotions.

Walker still makes records with Cold Chisel and is working harder than ever. Although work is probably the wrong verb. He loves writing songs.

“Jim sent me some lyrics not so long ago and not unusually they were brilliant.”

Walker isn’t at all surprised by the success of his

mate’s two volumes of memoirs, Working Class Boy and Working Class Man. “Jim’s voice reflects Jim. His charm, the way he draws people in. I knew he could write because of the way he sings.”

Walker reflects on his and Jim’s longevity – the perils of the rock and roll lifestyle – and says even

when he was younger he never bought the line that you had to damage yourself in order to create something.

As for his mate Jimmy Barnes, Don Walker reckons the fates have been kind to him.

“He’s lived hard but some people instinctively know they’re lucky,” Walker laughs.

Dads can be heroes for fun run day ATHLETICS Bendigo wants “super heroes” across the region to make the 2019 Run For Dad Bendigo on Father’s Day a huge success.

The annual Run For Dad raises awareness and funds for the Bendigo Community Health Services Men’s Health Clinic and Prostate

Cancer Foundation of Australia. Athletics Bendigo spokesman Keith Macdonald said the September 1 event plays an important role in getting people thinking about men’s health.

“Men need reminding to put their health first,” Mr McDonald said. “The Run

For Dad is about getting men out spending time with friends and loved ones on a special day such as Father’s Day to remind them to get a regular health check so they can appreciate such things for years to come.”

Bendigo Community Health Services male nurse

practitioner Peter Strange said raising awareness about men’s health was essential.

“We need to remind men that a lot of the health issues that can kill them are preventable and treatable when found early... A regular health check has saved so many lives.”

Run For Dad at Bendigo Racecourse includes a 3.75km walk or 7km run and prizes for best dressed super heroes. Visit www.reg isternow.com.au and search for Run For Dad Bendigo.

Jobs move to hub

By NICHOLAS NAKOS

BENDIGO-based Department of Transport staff, including those at VicRoads, will move into the new Bendigo GovHub once it opens in 2022.

The Minister for Transport Infrastructure and member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan made the announcement last Friday, which would see 115 transport jobs move to the GovHub. The new Department of Transport will bring together staff from VicRoads, Regional Roads Victoria and Public Transport Victoria, who are currently located at

East Bendigo.

“The government is bringing this new concept to Bendigo, bringing together in one place state government and City of Greater Bendigo activities under one roof,” Ms Allan said of the GovHub. The state government contributed $16 million to the project in the 2018 state Budget, with that funding injected into a public-private partnership.

Ms Allan said the building will cost between $90-100 million and accommodate as many as 1000 workers.

director Brian Westley said he is excited about the move in 2022.

“This isn’t just a boom for Bendigo, it means we are going to see state and local government agencies brought together, resulting in better transport outcomes,” Mr Westley said.

The city’s director of corporate performance Andrew Cooney said additional government services joining the GovHub makes it a true one-stop shop.

“It’s not always about customers doing physical business with us, but to have City of Greater Bendigo staff and other staff

together will have great benefits to us and the Bendigo community,” Mr Cooney said.

Construction of the Lyttleton Terrace GovHub will begin in mid-2020, with works to be completed by mid-2022.

The City of Greater Bendigo offices will be located elsewhere during the construction, at a yet to be determined location.

An open community consultation session will be held on Saturday, July 27 at Bendigo Town Hall to give the public a chance to speak with the architects and design team.

Project builds home for homeless A NEW studio apartment constructed in Eaglehawk will provide secure, stable accommodation for two teenage boys, thanks to a joint initiative by charity Kids Under Cover and hotel group Choice Hotels.

Three Bendigo-based hotels helped to build the studio, which started as a flat pack and was partly manufactured in Bendigo.

The keys were officially handed over at the property on Tues-

day, with Choice Hotels’ director of distribution and revenue management Anthony Stanley saying the construction was a team effort.

“Over the past week or so we have had a number from our staff from Melbourne come to Bendigo to help construct the studio,” Mr Stanley said.

Franchisees from the three Bendigo hotels all worked together to bring the project together,

which cost $80,000 in total.

The revenue raised for the project came from a $2 contribution at all Choice Hotel properties per night per stay nationwide during National Homeless Persons Week last August.

“This has been a unique build because we have had local franchisees in Bendigo that have contributed and local manufacturers engaged to provide building materials,” Mr Stanley said.

State cuts back stamp duty

By NICHOLAS NAKOS

THE state government has slashed stamp duty for commercial and industrial properties in regional Victoria.

The concession for commercial and industrial land will present business opportunities for new operators and minimise the costs for businesses wishing to expand into regional Victoria, according to the office of the Assistant Treasurer Robin Scott.

A duty concession of 10 per cent, increasing by 10 percentage points each year

until it reaches 50 per cent

by July 1, 2023 will save an average of $17,500 by mid2023.

There are planned reductions to the regional payroll tax rate, with a 0.4 per cent drop each year from 2020-21 until 202223.

The tax cut will see regional Victorian businesses have the lowest payroll tax rate in Australia, with 3500 businesses benefiting from the relief.

Acting Treasurer Robin Scott said the new initiatives will help regional businesses expand their

operations.

“It complements our suite of measures in regional Victoria that have eased regulatory burden, encouraged growth and boosted local employment,” Mr Scott said.

More businesses will qualify for the reduced regional tax rate starting this financial year, as they won’t be required to have their business address registered in regional Victoria to qualify.

Instead, businesses are eligible if 85 per cent of wages are paid in the regions.

Funds for solar installation THOUSANDS of solar panels, batteries and hot water systems will be installed across the state thanks to the new Solar Homes program.

The $1.3 billion investment in solar energy will help 770,000 households invest in the scheme, creating more than 5000 jobs.

Some 42,000 rooftop solar systems will be installed this year, with rebates released every month to ensure the program is allocated fairly.

For the first time, 1000 rebates will be available for solar storage batteries, with 6000 rebates for solar hot water systems to remain.

Minister for Solar Homes Lily D’Ambrosio said the program is the start of Victoria’s solar revolution.

“With more rebates and now optional no-interest loans on the table, we’re further reducing the up-front costs to make solar more accessible to

SPECIAL COLLECTION: Any item with a plug, chord or battery is considered e-waste.

E-waste ban from landfill E-WASTE is now banned from landfill sites and kerbside bins throughout the state.

Any item with a plug, battery or cord that is no longer working or wanted constitutes e-waste.

This includes computers, mobile phones, printers, televisions, gaming consoles and kitchen appliances.

These items must be disposed of at designated e-waste drop off points.

REVOLUTION: Homes are being helped to go solar.

Victorians from across the state,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.

Anyone wishing to participate in the Solar Homes program must get at least one quote from an approved solar retailer before confirming their

eligibility for the program through an online portal.

A discount of up to $2225 and a no-interest loan for solar panels will be offered at the point of sale, matching the rebate amount.

Council is hosting a free e-waste disposal day at the Queen Elizabeth Oval car park on Sunday between 10am and 3pm to help residents get rid of their unwanted e-waste items.

“The e-waste to landfill ban has been introduced by the Victorian government in an effort to recover more of the valuable materials left inside e-waste that can be safely recovered and reused,”

City of Greater Bendigo’s Resource Recovery and Education manager Brooke Pearce said.

All unwanted e-waste must now be taken to transfer stations in Heathcote, Strathfieldsaye or Goornong, or the Eaglehawk Recycle Shop which is located at the entrance to Eaglehawk Landfill.

Funds for festivities THE Great Stupa has received $8000 from the state government as part of an $885,000 grant to support 476 multicultural events and festivals statewide.

A multi-faith food festival featuring Mexican, Greek, Indian, Vietnamese and Ethiopian cuisine, among others, will be part of the annual October Vegecareian festival, a celebration of vegetarian cuisine from around the world.

Marketing officer at the Great Stupa Alyce Crosbie said the food festival has been developed over a number of years.

“Every year we try to include a diverse range of foods and make the Great Stupa welcoming for all different communities and cultures,” Ms Crosbie said.

A Pasifika festival, the Taiwan Festival, the Mexican Festival and the Somali National Day of Celebration are just some of the events taking place across the state that will receive funding support in the second half of this year.

Minister for Multicultural Affairs Richard Wynne said that supporting these multicultural events is just one way we celebrate our heritage.

New register to improve pet welfare

CREATIVE MOVES: Addison Goodall and Leah Denko perform in the under 10 contemporary solo. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Dancers on pointe THE Bendigo Dance Eisteddfod is in full swing with 400 dancers performing at the JB Osborne Theatre.

The event, which started on June 29, runs until mid-July.

There are two major categories of dance, classical and theatrical, with classical including classical dance, contemporary,

character and lyrical.

Theatrical encompasses tap, jazz, hip-hop, song and dance, and song and tap.

The eisteddfod provides young artists from Bendigo, across Victoria and interstate the opportunity of performing in front of professional adjudicators and receiving a critique of their

presentation. It’s also a chance to perform in front of their peers as members of the public are invited to watch.

Fay Thomas, president and dance coordinator of Bendigo Competitions, said the eisteddfod was started by the Bendigo Chamber of Commerce in 1923 and has operated under volunteer

committees for the past 93 years.

“The eisteddfod also enables the wider Bendigo community to enjoy these performances,” Ms Thomas added.

She was proud to add that each year more than 50 per cent of competitors came from outside Bendigo, contributing to the local economy.

A NEW pet register will allow Victorians to find out where their new pet has come from.

The Pet Exchange Register will make it easier to detect and crack down on illegal puppy farms and give owners peace of mind that their new pet has been bred ethically with animal welfare as a priority.

All advertisements of dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for sale or free rehoming will now need to include a source number linked to a person, breeder, business, rescue group, foster network or shelter.

The new system is one outcome of the Domestic Animals Amendment Act 2017 to help improve accountability of breeders.

RSPCA Victoria’s chief executive officer Liz Walker said the legislative changes aimed to improve animal welfare in Victoria.

“We encourage everyone considering a new pet, to ask the breeder or seller for their source code and look them up on the Pet Exchange Register to check they are operating legally. If there’s no source number, there’s no sale – it’s that simple,” Ms Walker said.

Minister for Agriculture Jaclyn Symes said the register is about owners knowing where their pet has come from.

“It gives Victorians peace of mind that they’re not propping up backyard breeders and dodgy pet shops,” Ms Symes said.

Bluegrass brothers celebrate IT’S been 20 years since The Davidson Brothers’ first album Blue Spruce hit the stands – and to celebrate, they’ll be performing a one-off show in Bendigo.

Hamish and Lachlan were both born with an instrument in hand, coming from a musical family and following their parents around with their pipe band. They discovered their bluegrass sound after travelling to America in 1997.

Together they’ve released eight albums, toured the globe

and played with some of the biggest names in Australian country music including Melinda Schneider, Troy CassarDaley and Lee Kernaghan.

The pair also have five golden guitar gongs under their belt.

More recently they’ve been infusing their bluegrass style with rock, performing with the likes of INXS’ Andrew Farriss and Joe Camilleri from The Black Sorrows.

“We’ve released over 100 songs in the past 20 years so

we’ll have some fun picking out what to play on the night. We always have a ball with our Bendigo fans so there’s no better place to celebrate,” the brothers said.

The Davidson Brothers 20th Anniversary Show will be held at True Brew Bendigo on Friday, July 19.

Soul M8s Food Truck will be at the venue from 6pm, with music kicking off from 7.30pm.

Showcase kicks off

THE annual Bendigo Blues and Roots winter showcase and fundraiser will be held this Sunday across three stages at the historic Hotel Shamrock.

Solo and duo acts will serenade music fans all day long at the Yard Bird Bar and Kitchen.

Stage two will keep patrons dancing in the ornate Federation Room, and there’s even a buskers stage, exploding with spontaneous jams on the front pavement.

No less than 17 acts will put their best foot forward in support of Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival, which takes place across four jampacked days on the second weekend of November.

Shamrock with eight hours of live music kicking off at 12pm.

The list of artists performing across the three stages boasts some of the most impactful and engaging acts of the festival proper’s program.

It includes both local and visiting acts, such as Electric Blues Collective (Melbourne); 40 Thieves (Croydon); Orange Whip (Ararat); Slap Back Jack and The Magic 8-Balls; Nardia (Melbourne); Daniel Aaron; Jarrod Shaw (Melbourne); Sarah Wilkinson; The Flannos; Spiritus (Gembrook); Rhyley McGrath; Jade Byrd; Funk Junkies; Andy Garlick; Deus Sax; Honk Tank; and the already accomplished Bendigo South East College Stage Band featuring a large number of the city’s finest young aspiring musicians.

CROSSINGS Alex Landragin Picador Australia $32.99

SHOWCASE: Nardia (above) and The Electric Blues Collective are on the bill. Photos: SEAN CLOHESY

HOW many earthly lifetimes can a single human soul endure?

In its initial chapter readers meet one of the two hosts of Crossings as an aged version of the debauched and desperate 19th-century Parisian poet Charles Baudelaire.

Encased in a body riddled with syphilis, penniless and itinerant, the essence of Baudelaire has every reason to embrace the notion of transmigrating from this broken carapace to re-emerge with a new physical identity, ready to embark on a reinvigorated existence but with its amassed memories intact.

Baudelaire’s is not the only figure to be inhabited over the course of roughly 150 years by this relater of tall tales, however; in fact, it is not even the first.

The unfolding of the novel also reveals a second shape-shifting storyteller, originating as Polynesian islander Alula at the time of isolated Oaeetee’s discovery by seafaring French explorers.

In the course of making its way from the mid

Pacific Ocean to the literary heartland of Europe, this latter raconteur travels via idyllic Mauritius, the squalid port city of Marseille in France and a sugarcane plantation in the American Deep South.

Changing gender en route, it pursues its former lover, Koahu, around the globe, campaigning desperately for an longawaited emotional reunion.

Presented in three distinct yet complementary parts, Melbourne author Landragin’s manuscript weaves together disparate periods in history (including the two world wars), locations as diverse as steamy New Orleans, sophisticated Brussels and the French-Spanish border region of the Pyrenees, and a pair of narrators.

Perhaps most remarkably, it can be read in a choice of two ways: conventionally, from the first page of the book as it stands published through to the last, or through the eyes of a secondary character, Baroness Beattie Ellingham, following a sequence outlined in the introduction that delivers a unique storyline.

email: letters@bendigopublishing.com PO Box 324, Bendigo 3552

A mediaeval death BETWEEN 2013 and 2017 I have had three loved close family members pass away.

I have been honoured to sit beside each of them for the long hours, days, nights, weeks and months in hospital as they struggled slowly until their inevitable passing from terminal illnesses.

They all loved life although they were unable to go on with it in the end.

Eventually no amount of palliative skill and compassion could truly help their situation.

As a result of my experiences I now even more deeply respect the sanctity and processes of both life and of death and why it is important to legislate in this area.

Before the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2017 was provided by our Victorian Labor government, as a society we were acting in a more caring, kind manner toward our pets.

Modern medicine has advanced through our God-given intelligence and loving natural wish to help mankind to cure, care and ease us in miraculous ways from prenatal to birth through life then death to the best of the medical skill of our compassionate and dedicated doctors and nurses.

It would be strange indeed if we were to suddenly deny full use of our medical care and skills shortly before the end when patients are most in need.

In fact at what point do we decide to remove this lifelong medical care to allow an agonising mediaeval death?

My recently passed relatives would laugh, if it wasn’t so serious, at the simplistic and paranoid ideas put forward by some minorities.

To label this rigid, judgemental, unloving and negative position as “pro life” is such a travesty, it should be more accurately named “anti-humane mediaeval death”.

Plan for tagging I CERTAINLY don’t condone the graffitiing and vandalism of royal trams but I wish we could get the same level of public outcry, press interest and police activity for the constant graffiti and mindless tagging that has almost become an accepted feature of our Bendigo civic landscape.

I rarely hear anyone comment on it or offer a solution or plan to combat it.

I am the first one to admit that it is almost impossible to apprehend offenders in the act but it is still vandalism and some of it is being inflicted on domestic residences.

I live in the vicinity of the old Gillies factory which has been a constant canvas for tagging.

Any hopes of restoring or repurposing this historic building with its original artwork and signage intact are long gone.

It has been scribbled on for years now. Do paint retailers have a tight process for sales? Do parents suspect that their children are engaging in this? Are these spray paints concealed in bags or backpacks as they head off into the urban landscape?

Do taggers know each others’ tags? Is it only occurring at nighttime?

Is tagging satisfying some frustrated need to leave a mark that taggers cannot achieve in other ways?

Tagging has reached epidemic proportions in some areas of Melbourne. They climb to great heights on buildings and freeways to achieve good exposure for their scribbles.

I am a big fan of street art. It has a huge following. My birthplace of Benalla was early onto the scene with their annual festival.

Up the top end of Mitchell Street there is now a huge wall picture by Minna Leunig.

She commented to me that taggers seem to leave legitimate street art alone.

I regard tagging as lazy, selfish “I was here” scribble and I don’t have a solution except vigilance and reporting. Do police or the City of Greater Bendigo have a plan or any thoughts?

Tribute to Kennedy THIS month marks 50 years since David Kennedy was elected to federal parliament. David also later represented Bendigo in state parliament.

At a function last week former premiers John Cain and John Brumby joined 100 guests to pay tribute to David’s service over the past half century.

David established Community Health. He won funding for many things we now take for granted, including the Chinese museum, a host of school projects, health funding, job projects and the Capital Theatre.

He still continues to teach,

More harm than good RECENT letters in response to Sally Anne Petherbridge’s warning about Victoria’s euthanasia laws show that a lack of knowledge never stopped some people from attacking those with a real understanding of an issue: in this case writers Hopper, Symonds and Proctor.

Many palliative care specialists and other members of the AMA have warned the Victorian government to no avail and now are trying to prevent WA from going down the same unethical path.

In their experience of treating the dying they maintain that assisted suicide is “not necessary for terminal symptom control”.

And it is not part of medical treatment; especially not palliative care. And it most certainly is not “dignified”.

“Choice” by some has a huge price to be paid by the community in lowering such ethical standards and putting many other vulnerable souls at much higher risk – of having that choice eventually eroded.

Good law should serve the whole community; the common good. Euthanasia laws worldwide have done more harm than good

and led to the slippery slope of a widening of the criteria needed to access assisted suicide, with infants and incapacitated persons involuntarily euthanised.

Elder abuse is already a problem. Coercion is often subtle but effective, and the main reason for requesting assisted suicide is said to be a fear of being a burden, or loneliness; not pain.

Critics of Sally Anne Petherbridge can wail all they like, but the evidence is there: why would so many doctors and other medical personnel be objecting so ferociously?

They don’t want to be a participant in taking the life of their patient and believe that more taxpayer funds should be directed to palliative care, where the symptoms of dying patients are treated till death in a supportive environment.

So, instead of navigating the dying towards a quick fix, perhaps the state government could direct more funding to the care of the dying and the training of palliative care doctors?

How long will it be before suicide clinics are set up in Victoria, as in Europe and elsewhere? How long till health funds and bureaucrats agree to pay the lethal suicide dose but not palliative care?

No, Sally Anne is right. Recent letter writers are not.

Helen Leach, Bendigo

In times of crisis, we’re here to listen.

Twenty years behind I READ the article on the front page of your paper, which was mainly about planning for industry to come to the Bendigo area.

Most industries would want to have good access. Draw a line between Ravenswood, Lockwood South, Lockwood, the edge of Maiden Gully, Marong, Myers Flat, Eaglehawk, Epson, Huntly and Goornong.

This could be a good route for a much needed ring road. I believe we are already 20 years behind.

Don’t let us get like Melbourne where basically everything has to go into the city to get back out again.

CFA questions WITH Bendigo being a union town, I have been waiting with baited breath for all the exciting news on what is now going to happen to the CFA brigades in the area.

But not a peep, that I have seen.

What is happening?

How much are all of these changes going to cost, monetarily, and in manpower and equipment for the CFA? Where are all of the facts and figures?

The sheeple want to know.

editorial

Safety has a cost THIS week’s announcement of the cancellation of one of Bendigo’s major fundraising events in support of Bendigo Health is sad, but not surprising news.

To those who say terrorism wins when we are forced to make changes to the way we conduct such high profile events, we say please be mindful of the legal obligation organisers have to ensure the community’s safety.

Sadly, we live in a world where the reality of terrorism and the associated risk of copycat attacks on innocent people is all too real.

Acknowledging that safety comes first does not mean we are defeated.

It just means we have to work harder, and together, to find new and safer ways to ensure we can continue to enjoy participating in events such as the Bendigo Bank Fun Run. It also means that this year’s cancellation will hopefully one day be looked back upon and judged to be a setback, and a turning point, but never a defeat.

The voluntary committee that

Editorial Comment brings this project together in conjunction with sponsors, Victoria Police and the City of Greater Bendigo should know that there is a lot of support within this community, not just for the major fundraising event they put together each year for each of the past 12 years, but for the future as well.

More than ever, on the back of this announcement, Bendigo needs to rally behind the fun run committee and behind the hospital, to ensure the financial momentum that the community has helped deliver for the past 12 years is not lost, and that we continue to find ways to show our support.

We have no doubt organisers will look at ways to conduct any future fun runs in a location and manner that precludes the need for so many road closures, barricades and vehicles to fulfil

tightening safety criteria.

Bendigo has a superb hospital that we should feel immensely proud of and there’s a well-established history of community support that says we want to help.

And while Wednesday’s announcement comes as no surprise, it follows community dissatisfaction at the presence of a high number of concrete bollards placed in strategic points throughout the central business district back at Easter time as part of actions deemed essential to the safety of Easter Festival patrons and those attending Anzac Day services.

Consider though, what the reaction would be if there was an incident and we hadn’t taken every possible measure to ensure the commuity’s safety, and you quickly realise the difficult situation organisers were in.

These extra safety measures are a fact of life.

We might not like it.

We might not want it.

But it seems we have to have it, and more of it – for our own sakes.

By SAM KANE Member of the YMCA Youth Press Gallery.

THIS week I had the privilege of sitting in Melbourne’s Parliament House to report on the 120 young people taking part in the YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament.

Running for the past 33 years, it’s a program which allows teams of individuals aged 16-25 from schools, councils and communities across the state present a piece of legislation on the floors of Victoria’s parliament, learning valuable parliamentary and societal skills.

The bills presented are those they’ve written themselves, developed out of concerns and conversations they’ve had in their own communities.

Those passed are then handed to Minister for Youth Gabrielle Williams for consideration, with 20 such bills over the program’s history having become law, includ-

ing mandatory wearing of bike helmets, blood alcohol limits for those accompanying learner drivers, and legal recognition for carers of people with disabilities.

The program I was part of for the week, the Youth Press Gallery, runs alongside parliament, giving further voice to the work youth parliamentarians

think how incredible it was that young people were being given rule over our parliament for three days, to put their thoughts, passions and interests out there for honest debate and consideration.

Here’s a place, usually full of people much older, having its tables turned with youth voicing their opinions on issues they

What this whole process shows is that young people do have ideas worth sharing have undertaken.

I had the chance to sit in the Legislative Assembly and Council and watch debates, as well as learn valuable skills in political journalism including how to take notes, live tweet an event, write to strict deadlines and interview youth parliamentarians.

However, in the midst of the emotion these people brought to parliament and the endless interjections, I couldn’t help but

deem important and that they truly believe can help improve the state where we all live.

The fact this advocacy could then influence our policy future, is something even greater.

If this isn’t the definition of a healthy democracy, where all people who live within it are literally having a say, then I don’t know what is.

Our city also had a reason to smile through-

out the program, with six young Bendigonians, sponsored by the new Bendigo Youth Council, taking their beliefs to Spring Street to advocate for Victorian public schools introducing compulsory LGBTIQ sex education.

After rigorous debate, it was passed unanimously, with the team representing all of us, most importantly our young people, with passion and conviction.

What this whole process shows is that young people do have ideas worth sharing, and, if given the chance – whether in a platform like this or simply within their own communities – they can make a meaningful contribution to the advancement of our society.

In this sense, the old adage is true; if today’s young people are to be our leaders of tomorrow, then involving them in decision making of today, can only make the world they’re set to inherit even greater.

Riding in garage land IT’S been a year since Mike Angove left his bike in the garage.

A keen cyclist, he’d been racing regularly, commuting daily and spending hours in the saddle each weekend.

Although his bike hasn’t left the garage, Mike says he’s fitter than he’s ever been.

In fact, he still rides daily, regularly for several hours. The difference is that he now cycles around a virtual world called Watopia – or, if the mood takes him, around virtual London, New York or a UCI World Championships course in Innsbruck and Richmond.

Mike is one of a growing number gravitating to indoor cycling, thanks to the evolution of “smart” trainers, which link to a computer, allowing you to ride in a virtual environment.

Using Zwift, a popular platform that has essentially “gamefied” cycling; he now rides and chats with cyclists from around the world.

So why did he go virtual?

“Traffic mainly,” says Mike.

“Once upon a time you could get out on a Saturday morning, do a five to six-hour bike ride and see hardly any traffic. But now

the roads are just too busy. After Jason Lowndes was killed and I got knocked off a couple of times, that was it. I decided I’m not going to do this anymore.”

Mike said he started to become unfit and so bought a dumb trainer but it was notoriously boring.

“When I tried Zwift, I was incredibly surprised at how much like riding in the real world it is.

The trainer uses your weight and power to calculate the resistance.

It talks to the iPad and Zwift tells the trainer how much resistance to apply to reflect pretty close to the real world. The only thing you don’t get is wind.”

The beauty of the trainer is that you can get on any time.

“I race two to three times a week and there’s probably 200 events a day that you can choose from – some races, group social rides or group training rides.

“You have a much more controlled training environment.

It’s also fantastic for people who want to lose weight. I met a guy on Zwift who weighed 160kg. He’d bought a bike for the road to lose weight but people laughed at him because he was so big.

“He took it back to the shop

or repair your car or light commercial vehicle at a competitive price.

Giuseppe’s passionate about ensuring you receive quality, affordable automotive service that doesn’t cost the earth.

“You won’t be disappointed, I promise.”

And don’t forget to ask about their PDR (paintless, dent removal) service ideal for restoring dented metal panels back to their original form and condition, so that the vehicle retains its original factory finish.

“If the damage is minor, such as a supermarket trolly dent or a car park dent, then the chances are I can repair it,” Giuseppe said.

VIRTUAL RIDE: Mike Angove joins the pack. to get his money back and the sales guy suggested he try Zwift.

He’s lost 25kg since Christmas in the privacy of his home. You don’t have to look like a bike rider to do this.”

You do need to spend a bit on equipment though: apart from the bike and trainer, you need a computer and screen and a subscription to Zwift, at a minimum.

“You can do it modestly,” says Mike. “But if you want an experi-

ence that’s as close as possible to real life, you need the setup.”

His includes a grade simulator – a product that moves the front of the bike up and down to simulate climbing or descending – and fans, one of which can be set up to simulate wind resistance (more air on the downhills; less on the way up).

Does he miss cycling in the real world?

“Not so much anymore. It

would be nice to have a coffee, but you run into people you’d never meet in the local area – I started chatting with a former pro rider in the UK and we’ve been riding together for a couple of months.”

Because of the time zone Mike mostly rides with people from Australia – even some from Bendigo. All from the comfort of his garage.

...but by His own blood Jesus entered once for all into the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ .. purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 6:19 which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil (of Heaven) , 20 where Jesus has become a high priest forever.

Fosterville Gold Mine Exploration Activities Notification to Community Members This notification is to inform local community members about Fosterville Gold Mine’s upcoming regional exploration activities.

In recent times, Fosterville Gold Mine (FGM) has experienced record production and continued growth, with a prosperous outlook for the future. Kirkland Lake Gold, the owner of the Fosterville Gold Mine, is taking this opportunity to increase FGM’s exploration activities within its regional exploration licences (EL006503 and EL006504).

Proposed exploration activities • Soil sampling along public road reserves is expected to commence in EL006504 in mid-July followed

by EL006503 in mid-August 2019.

• Depending on the results of the soil sampling program, surface drilling may be undertaken at selected locations within the exploration licence area. Any exploration activities on private land are only undertaken with landholder permission.

What is soil sampling?

Soil sampling is used to detect gold indicator anomalies, which can identify sub-surface areas that have the potential for gold mineralisation.

What’s involved in soil sampling?

The impact from soil sampling is low, and holes are backfilled immediately after sampling. The ground is returned to a similar condition prior to sampling, with minimal residual impact.

EMPLOYMENT

Soil sampling is a fast and low impact method of testing for anomalies over a large area.

An area of approximately 1x1m will be cleared to remove surface debris.

A small hole (approximately 40x40 cm) will be dug to a depth of 10-20 cm and the soil sample taken.

After sample collection, the hole is backfilled immediately and the ground condition restored.

Each soil sample will be approximately 300g processed by sieving onsite.

Soil samples are typically taken 100 m apart along each sample line.

Impacts on private property have been avoided by selecting sample locations on public road reserves.

Sampling is undertaken by 1-4 people on a quad bike or all-terrain-vehicle.

IT was a winning weekend in round 12 NBL1 action for the Bendigo Braves, with both teams securing wins on the road against the Eltham Wildcats.

The Braves women cruised to their 15th win of the season in a 96-60 thumping of Eltham last Saturday night.

The Braves were never troubled as they led by 15 points at quarter-time, 18 points at half-time and 27 points at three-quarter time.

Forward Becca Tobin dropped an effortless 22 points on 13 shots as well as 14 rebounds to lead the team.

Eight of captain Kelly Wilson’s 19 points came from the free throw line, with the Braves a near-perfect 22/23 from the stripe.

Eltham struggled to defend the paint all night, giving up 40 points, while their bench was more prolific than their starters, scoring 36 of the team’s 60 points.

A monster night from Ray Turner propelled the Braves to a much-needed win against the Cats as they prevailed 92-88.

Turner’s 26 points included a perfect 11/11 from the foul line and even a three-pointer as the big man was unstoppable in 28 minutes of play.

Three other players scored in double figures for the Braves, with reserve guard Tanner Rayner seeing a rise in

Warriors hold back Miners THE Melton Warriors got the better of the Bendigo Miners last Saturday by five points to hand the Miners their third loss on the trot.

In atrocious conditions at the Epsom Huntly Reserve, the Miners lost their third game by seven points or less in succession, going down 24-19.

A waterlogged pitch with as much as 25mm of water, and rain falling throughout the contest, made for plenty of handling errors and not a lot of running rugby.

The heavyweight Melton team made better use of the conditions, leading 19-12 at the break thanks to three tries.

Bendigo’s two scores came from centre Phil Keech, who completed his hat trick early in the second half to knot the scores at 19 apiece.

A lopsided penalty count and dominance in territory and possession gifted Melton the chance to take the lead, which they took in the 68th minute thanks to sustained pressure inside the Bendigo 22.

Phil Keech was a standout for the Miners, not only for his three dazzling tries, but also some big hits he put on in defence.

Other standouts for Bendigo were loose forwards Dave McDonald and Matt Boyle, hooker Logan Reynolds and full back David Gudge.

The Miners travel to Shepparton tomorrow to play the competition leading Bulls, looking to snap their losing streak.

Scorers: Keech 3 tries; McDonald 2 goals.

City hosts top shots

By NICHOLAS NAKOS

BENDIGO Tennis Centre this week hosted the Bendigo Bank junior tournament and Australian Money Tournament across five days.

The event culminates with finals today, with more than 400 players from across the nation having taken part.

Centre manager James Rouel said the events were a terrific opportunity for the tennis centre to generate revenue and a big reason why the centre had been able to secure a new facility, including a 400-seat grandstand.

“We have five of these events throughout the year, one in each school holidays and an extra one during Melbourne Cup weekend,” Mr Rouel said.

Players from Under 10 and older participated in singles, doubles and mixed doubles events across the week.

The tennis centre has also revamped its menu to include a greater range of healthy food and drink options.

Through a partnership with the City of Greater Bendigo, VicHealth and Nutrition Australia, the centre’s cafe has implemented the government’s Healthy Choices guidelines for sport and recreation centres.

The green, amber and red traffic light system has been well received by customers.

“The feedback from customers has been really positive and we have seen a huge change in what customers now desire,” Mr Rouel said.

“The new menu includes best choice delicacies such as fresh rolls, wraps, sandwiches, salads, pastas and soups.”

Off to Sandown

Bendigo East leads division THE latest round of baseball action saw Bendigo East move to the top of the Bendigo Baseball Association Division 1 ladder with a 6-1 win against the Falcons.

Despite the Falcons’ strong start and scoring the first run from a deep outfield hit from Brad Muns, Bendigo East were quick to respond, scoring four runs in the next inning.

Former Falcon turned Bendigo East pitcher Josh Brown was instrumental in the win and has improved significantly in recent years since his time at Bendigo East and the Malvern Baseball Club in Melbourne’s Summer League.

“I can pitch with more confidence knowing the type of team I’ve got behind me, everyone does their job well,” Brown said after the win.

The Falcons defeated Bendigo East 7-3 in the Division 2 game, with Falcons’ pitchers Michael

FINE TUNING SKILLS: Bendigo FIDA Suns in training for the weekend. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Suns shine for carnival THE Bendigo FIDA Suns will host teams from across regional Victoria as part of this weekend’s carnival to be contested at the Epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve.

The round-robin event features football teams for people with intellectual disabilities from Bendigo, Shepparton,

Echuca, Wodonga and Wangaratta.

Established in 2018, the Bendigo Suns enjoy a close alignment with the South Bendigo Football Netball Club that includes the use of Harry Trott Oval for training.

The Victorian FIDA (Football Integration Development

Association) Football League exists to provide Victorians with an intellectual disability the opportunity to participate in Australian Rules Football, at a competitive level.

Governed by AFL Victoria, the league provides an environment that promotes fitness, fun, friendship and a sense

of belonging. Participating in Australian Rules Football enhances life skills and develops self-esteem, confidence and improved health.

Organisers of Sunday’s carnival expect up to 300 people to attend, with the first game kicking off at 10am, and action continuing until 3pm.

THE Bendigo Football Netball League will take a well-earned break this weekend after a round 10 of matches that will long be remembered for the shocking weather and dour conditions.

Strathfieldsaye Storm managed to handle the atrocious conditions at Tannery lane better than the Sandhurst Dragons in a low scoring encounter.

Strong winds and torrential rain prevailed for much of the day, but it was final quarter surge by the Storm that saw the home side to victory 5.13 (43) to 3.3 (21).

Kangaroo Flat were kept goalless after the first quarter by Golden Square in their clash at Dower Park.

The Roos kicked the first three majors of the game, but a powerful display by the Bulldogs saw them kick away to a solid 10.19 (79) to 3.8 (26) victory.

Maryborough celebrated its fifth win of the BFNL season, downing Castlemaine 81-24 at the Camp Reserve.

In the battle of the Magpies, the led by three goals at half-time and built on this in the second half, racing to 11.15 (81) to 3.6 (24) win.

A rampaging Gisborne denied Kyneton any goals in their encounter at the showgrounds.

The Bulldogs led 2.7 to 0.1 at quarter-time and then kicked 7.8 to nil in a 9.15 (69) to 0.1 (1) result where goals were hard to come by, due to the conditions. Patrick McKenna kicked five goals for the winners.

Eaglehawk easily accounted for South Bendigo in their clash at the Queen Elizabeth Oval.

Eaglehawk powered away from the opening bounce to race to a 15.15 (105) to 6.5 (41) win over the Bloods, and to remind the rest of the competition that they are a serious threat to the premiership title.

As players enjoy a break, Strathfieldsaye remains on top of the BFNL ladder with 40 points, followed by Gisborne (36), Golden Square (36), Eaglehawk (32) and Sandhurst rounding out the five on 28 points.

Maryborough sits a further two games back on 20 points, and is the ony other side with any real chance of making the finals this season.
