Small bin plan fails to improve landfill figures

Abbott flies the Coalition flag

JUNK CITY

FEDERAL Opposition leader Tony Abbott slipped into Bendigo yesterday to head up a community forum at the Capital Theatre. After fielding questions from the public, he told the Bendigo Weekly there were no big promises on the horizon for Bendigo before the next federal election.

STORY Page 5

By ANTHONY RADFORD

THE introduction of smaller household bins has failed to reduce the amount of rubbish Bendigonians are putting out for collection. The City of Greater Bendigo council introduced a 140-litre bin option for locals in 2008, as an alternative to the 240-litre bin. More than half the city has taken up the new bins, saving an average of almost $80 a year on their rates. The smaller bins were introduced in an attempt to reduce the amount of household rubbish going to council’s Eaglehawk tip. However, a Bendigo Weekly analysis of council’s rubbish and recycling figures shows an increase, rather than a decrease, in the average amount of waste going to the tip, casting doubt over the legitimacy of the plan. In the 2007-08 financial year, the year before the smaller bins were introduced, each Bendigo household put an average of 640 kilograms in their kerbside bin. That number rose to 660 kg last financial year, despite 25,000 of the city’s 42,739 homes having the smaller bin. In effect, those with the 240-litre bin have been subsidising the rest by paying much higher fees. In the current financial year, those with a large bin will pay $196.50, compared to $115 for the 140-litre bin. Council chief executive officer Craig Niemann acknowledged the results were not what the organisation

CONCERNED: Craig Niemann says the council needs to change its message. wanted. “We would have liked the number of tonnes to go backwards since we introduced the bins,” he said. Mr Niemann said council needed to change its message. “The results show there hasn’t been big change and we still have work to do to encourage everyone to recycle as much as we can.” Recycling figures over the same period show an increase in the amount being saved from landfill, but, according to Mr Niemann, not enough. In 2007-08, each household in Bendigo recycled 240 kilograms. Last financial year it was 263kg. “It has had some impact, but it has been minimal,” he said.

Green light for library

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THE redevelopment of the Bendigo Library is now confirmed for next financial year, with the next stage of plans due at the end of this month. City of Greater Bendigo chief executive officer Craig Niemann said council’s decision to allocate the $2million windfall from Regional Development Victoria to the $7.25m library project has green-lighted the next planning stage. “If we hadn’t received this funding, we might have had to scale back the project or change the timing,” Mr Niemann said. “It’s a bonus, money we hadn’t planned for.” Mr Niemann said the library will

be “stage built” in order to keep it open during the redevelopment, expected to take 18 months. Councillor Lisa Ruffell voted against the decision to use the RDV

ongoing.” The Master Plan took two years to develop and was adopted by council in February 2010. It has won several design awards and, if completed, would create one of the most impressive botanical gardens in Australia.

“The plan they have come up with is wonderful but it is so expensive,” Melbourne University Professor Roger Cousens said this week. “Implementation will be a major challenge. Any council worth their salt will say, ‘how can I cut this project into affordable chunks’ – I hope they will be doing that.” Prof Cousens wrote the Gardens’ historical pamphlet, in collaboration with the Friends of Bendigo Botanical Gardens. The Friends are campaigning for the appointment of a curator to assist with both fund-raising and implementation of the Master Plan. Mr Niemann said discussions continue about appointing a curator.

TO increase involvement of senior medical staff in the New Bendigo Hospital project, Dr Jason Fletcher has joined the project team as a clinical leader. Executive Director New Bendigo Hospital David Walker said senior medical staff want to be involved in the project, particularly in relation to aspects that impact on clinical practice. Dr Fletcher said his interests include improving quality of care through system improvements and identifying the deteriorating patient in the nonintensive care unit setting.

Feedback on the park THE City of Greater Bendigo has prepared a draft master plan for Gateway Park situated on the Calder Highway in Kangaroo Flat and is now seeking feedback from the community. City of Greater Bendigo Kangaroo Flat Ward Cr Barry Lyons said this is an exciting plan for Gateway Park and he urged all interested residents to take the time to view the draft master plan and pass on their comments. Staff from the City of Greater Bendigo will also be available at the Gateway Park car park tomorrow between 2pm and 4pm.

Eaglehawk housing plan brings objections

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

EAGLEHAWK residents are opposing a low-rental accommodation development in the heart of the city, on the grounds it will attract more welfare recipients to the precinct. “What are they doing to us?” former Eaglehawk mayor Lola Miller told a meeting of 60 people at the town hall on Monday evening. “We are seen as a place for the underprivileged… we don’t need them in the main street of Eaglehawk.” City of Greater Bendigo Eaglehawk Ward councillor Peter Cox put the proposal to develop the Victoria Hotel top of the agenda for his bi-monthly forum. Mrs Miller and other forum at-

tendees quoted the report in the Bendigo Weekly in which businessman Ivar Hunt said he wanted to put 28 rooms into the hotel, along with the (already open) bottleshop and a small bar, “as an alternative to the caravan park, the bottom end of rental accommodation. “The majority of people who rent from us are just battlers, blokes who have had a fallout with the missus and need somewhere cheap,” Mr Hunt said. “People are concerned it will impact on retail trade in the area,” Cr Cox said. “Others have expressed concern that it is inappropriate to

rum called for the “emotion” to be taken out of the debate, saying that it was important objections address planning issues. Cr Cox said objectors could focus on issues such as “the effect on the amenity” of the commercial district, carparking and whether it met heritage guidelines. Mrs Miller, however, focused on the people who would rent the rooms. “We fought to keep the (primary) school open and there was a major concern then that we had too many rough kids out of housing commission homes,” Mrs Miller said.

GOLD fever comes to Bendigo on Sunday as Central Deborah Gold Mine hosts the Victorian Gold Panning Championships. Held in partnership with the Victorian Gold Panning Association, competitors will travel from all parts of the country. The championships promise to be an event for the whole family,

and to ensure no-one misses out on the action, visitors on the day will have free access to the surface of the mine. “The Gold Panning Championships are open to anyone of any age and any skill level,” president of the Victorian Gold Panning Association Marcus Binks said. “The person declared the Victorian Gold Panning Champion will receive a trip to compete in the 2011

New Zealand Gold Panning Championships, so everyone is encouraged to take part” Each heat runs for 10 minutes and the challenge is to find between five to 12 pieces of gold within that time. Budding participants can register on the day and the heats will operate between 10am and 2.30pm, with the finals taking place from 3.30pm onwards.

“Less than 50 metres (from the Vic) there’s a park, and if you have people congregating in that area, you can kiss goodbye to attracting clientele to the primary school.” Cr Cox encouraged the residents to organise a group objection as well as making individual applications to the council, once the proposal is advertised in the coming weeks. President of the Bendigo branch of the National Trust, Gary Hill, said it was important to oppose the application on regulatory grounds. “The social impact is not legally what will stop this dead in its tracks,” Mr Hill said. The meeting agreed that two of the residents present, Aaron Wales and Kerry Smith, would be the con-

DECREASES in the number of attendances at both the Bendigo Art Gallery and the Capital Theatre last year are a “fluctuation”, according to management. Figures released by City of Greater Bendigo council this week show a drop in visitors to BAG from 111,685 for 14 exhibitions in 2009-10 to 95,924 for 11 exhibitions last financial year. The Capital recorded 43,446 attendances across 182 performances, compared with 48,163 across 176 performances the previous year. “While we were a little disappointed with attendances last financial year, we see the relatively low numbers as a fluctuation rather than a trend,” Capital manager David Lloyd said. He said the increase in performances was due to scheduling the Engine Room program in the Old Fire Station, which aims at developing new work. “We are encouraged by the gradual growth in attendances for this season but as it is new we expect small numbers for the first couple of years,” Mr Lloyd said. The gallery recorded a record number of visitors (158,934) in 2008-9, because of the Golden Age of Couture blockbuster.

FLUCTUATION: David Lloyd Acting director Leanne Fitzgibbon said the number and length of exhibitions varies greatly from year to year, which makes it difficult to predict visitor numbers. “But we used to have 10 or 13,000 a year, so we’ve made huge advances in terms of attendance,” Ms Fitzgibbon said. “We plan with our audience in mind, aiming for a variety to attract a diverse audience, and knowing that the numbers will fluctuate. “There’s something more important than numbers and that’s quality exhibitions.” BAG is on track for a record year for attendance with the White Wedding Dress tracking at 1000 people a day.

Opposition leader gives Bendigo the thumbs up

Abbott senses passion By BEN CAMERON

BENDIGONIANS can’t expect any big election promises from the Opposition in the lead up to the next federal election just yet. Despite Member for Bendigo Steve Gibbons being set to retire after the next federal election, and the Opposition now more popular in Victoria than the current government, Tony Abbott was coy about splashing the cash on the seat of Bendigo. “The people of Bendigo are interested in sensible government, not pork barrelling,” he said. Bendigo attracted no major money during last year’s election campaign, despite urgent projects like the Bendigo airport, the showgrounds and improved accommodation for La Trobe University students, needing federal money to be realised. Mr Abbott, who went through the back door of The Capital to avoid more than 100 pro-Carbon Tax protesters, was in Bendigo yesterday for a community forum to engage

Pools are open THE 2011/2012 swimming season has kicked off at both the Bendigo Aquatic Centre and the Bendigo East Swimming Pool. The aquatic centre is open daily from 6am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 6.30pm on weekends until December when hours will be extended. The Bendigo East Pool is open daily from 6am to 7pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 7pm on weekends. Further information about local swimming pools can be obtained from www.bendigo.vic.gov.au

with the public. Questioned why he came through the back door, Mr Abbott said questions about the tax were answered at the forum by representatives of the Bendigo Sustainability Group and other environmental groups. “It was pretty clear there were people in the room who didn’t support my view (on the Carbon Tax) and I took questions from them and I did my best to answer them,” he said. “My car drove up at the back (of The Capital), I got out and I walked in.” Mr Abbott said the large number of protesters was representative of a strong Australian democracy on contentious issues, rather than a growing support for the tax. He also said the community forums were a way for senior politicians to listen more. “They need to spend less time lecturing, and more time listening,” he said. “I sensed... a great passion for the future prosperity for the city of Bendigo.”

Vets for horses BENDIGO’S $52 million equine industry will be supported by a new purpose-built veterinary facility opened by Minister for Racing Denis Napthine. Dr Napthine congratulated equine veterinarian John Brown for turning his vision for a Bendigo equine hospital into a reality. “I have great admiration and respect for the achievements of Dr Brown and his staff in bringing this outstanding facility to the people of Bendigo,” he said.

The Victorian Government is committed to country racing and the ongoing support of the industry with at least $30 million earmarked from the Victorian Racing Industry Fund to improve Victorian racetracks and facilities over the next four years.

FLAME UP: The burn-off target has raised concern.

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THE rush to respond to community concern over bushfires has imposed a “very clumsy tool” on firefighters, according to the Victorian National Parks Association. “The government made a very odd decision when they imposed a simple target for controlled burn-off,” VNPA park protection officer Philip Ingamells said. “While they responded to the recommendation from the Royal Commission in order to do it for public safety, inadvertently they have created a very clumsy tool.” Last month, concerned residents near the Whipstick Forest section of Greater Bendigo National Park called for the Victorian government to reconsider “a long-term program of prescribed burning based on an annual rolling target of five per cent minimum of public land”. This recommendation was part of the Bushfire Safety Policy in the wake of the deadly bushfires in February 2009. “The oddest thing about the hectare target is that it is independent of the natural burning that happens in the landscape,” Mr Ingamells said. “And of course the other thing the commission recommended was to radically increase the effectiveness of biodiversity.” Whipstick resident, artist John Wolseley said the target is a nonsensical way to control bushfire threats. “With a five per cent target, it

We are in serious trouble if they keep this target really means that in 20 years, you’ve burnt every bit of national park in Victoria,” he said. “We are in serious trouble if they keep this target in place.” Last week, Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith announced funding of $540,000 to provide 45 new “burn mix trailers” for planned burns across Victoria. The trailers contain drip torches, drums and jerry cans, to decant the diesel petrol solution used in planned burning. “We are committed to implementing the 67 recommendations of the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, including increasing planned burning across the state,” Mr Smith said. “In 2010-11 more than 188,000 hectares of planned burning was completed. This is the largest program completed in more than 20 years.” Mr Ingamells said the government has not yet done adequate surveys to monitor the effectiveness of planned burning or the effect on biodiversity of the program.

Tiles and tribulation

Friday, October 7, 2011 – Bendigo Weekly

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

RATEPAYERS will have to foot the bill for the ongoing problems with the Town Hall road paving, installed as part of the ill-fated Walk Bendigo plan. City of Greater Bendigo director of Presentation and Assets Darren Fuzzard said yesterday the defect liability phase of the contract to pave the area at the end of Bull

Street expired on November 1 last year. “There had been rectification work done prior to that date, but those problems (the crumbling of the tiles) have begun to rise since that date. We haven’t yet spent anything much on it.”

The full cost of the Walk Bendigo project was $950,000, with the state government’s Department of Infrastructure contributing $270,000 of that. The cost of the tiles at the town hall intersection was $230,000, and the installation of the

small road-level fountains cost $88,000. Mr Fuzzard said council is currently trialling several options to fix the problems caused by the crumbling mortar sub-base which was cracking the tiles under the weight of traffic.

“We’re doing a couple of trials to see what sort of tiles might stand up to that traffic load,” Mr Fuzzard said. “The first preference will be to maintain the look, with those large tiles, but we’ll also look at asphalt infilled with tiles.” Mr Fuzzard said the “next phase” will be costed once council decided on which option to adopt.

If possible have a look at the menu online before you go out. Make note of the healthiest options or decide on what you are going to eat before you get there to avoid impulse decisions. 3. Avoid buffet and all you can eat style restaurants. 4. Trim all visible fat from meat and skin and fat from poultry. 5. If the establishment is unable or unwilling to alter a menu item choose something else that is more suitable or

7. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel pressured to eat something because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special occasion there will be other special occasions once you have reached your goal. 8. Ask for a bottle or jug of water for the table and drink that instead of soft drinks, juices or alcohol.

find another place to eat if practical. 6. Avoid alcohol. If you must drink set yourself a limit (in consultation with your health practitioner) and stick to it. The more tipsy you become the more you are likely to drink and your resolve to stick to your weight loss plan is lowered, making it more likely for more food to be consumed.

A SNAPSHOT of Bendigo over the past four years shows a growing community, with shifting focuses. City of Greater Bendigo council statistics from the past four financial years have revealed some gems of information, and some new trends. The number of residential properties in the municipality has jumped from 39,460 in 2007-08, to 41,663 this financial year. The number of commercial and industrial properties has only risen by 107 over the same period, and the number of farm properties has dropped consistently in the past four years from 1349 to 1283. The number of planning permits issued by the council has ebbed and flowed with the global financial crisis. In 2007-08, 1191 permits were issued with a value of $426 million. In 2009-10, the figure dropped to 824 valued at $168 million. Last financial year, 927 permits were issued with a value of more than $241 million. Car parking is an area that gets peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood boiling, and it shows in the statistics. The number of parking infringements rose from a low of 12,664 in 2008-09 to 14,234 in 2010-11. It seems we are also keen to dob in those who have parked in the wrong spot, with the council receiving 708 requests for its parking enforcement service in 2010-11, up from 405 four years earlier. The council built 13.9km of new roads last financial year, up by a third from the year before, but less

than a kilometre up on 2007-08. More than 26km of new kerb and channels were built last financial year, almost 10km more than the year before. On top of that, more than 17km of new footpaths were built in 201011, almost 10km more than four years ago. Across the city, there are 18,984 dogs currently registered, an increase of more than 2000 over four

years. Cat numbers are almost the same as they were in 2007-08. The number of dogs and cats taken to the pound each year has remained stable, with 2417 dogs and 1771 cats taken there last financial year. The number of cats and dogs euthanased by the pound has dropped over the past four years, but cats fare the worst. Only 180 dogs were killed by the pound last year, more than half as many as 2007-08. Four years ago, 1150 cats were killed.

Last year it was 1106. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car curfew continues to bite, with 1116 animal control infringements issued last year. In 2007-08, that figure was 706. The number of public and school vaccinations the council administers has dropped dramatically in the past four years, with more people having them done at their GP. The number of books borrowed at local libraries

If you look at the people-based stats they tend to see an increase for demand for services skyrocketed to 886,631 last financial year, almost 80,000 up from four years ago. The State Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cuts to Home and Community Care funding has seen the amount of time council devotes to those programs either cut or plateau in the past four years. Youth programs have also skyrocketed in the past four years, with Freeza youth event attendance figures through the roof last year and the number accessing youth development programs increasing almost five-fold.

New government legislation cut the amount of inspections council undertook at food premises last financial year, and with the drought over, exotic trees are making a comeback. In 2007-08, council planted 632 exotic street trees. Last financial year they planted 837. Four years ago, council planted 1161 native street trees. Last financial year they planted only 674. Council chief executive officer Craig Niemann said the figures pointed to a growing city. “If you look at the people-based stats they tend to see an increase for demand for services,” he said. The Photographer “As the city grows, the demand for services grows. “The growth is all the way from child services to aged services, which shows growth across the board.

Celebrating freedom By RosemaRy soRensen

Two young men from very different backgrounds told their stories to a small group of people in Bendigo this week. what they both wanted to celebrate is freedom. “when I came to Australia in January 2009, I was able to start a new life with rights and dignity,” Tila Guragai, 23, said. “I came to a place where you are guaranteed of a future, and where there’s no fear of people

trying to pull you down,” Leo Matarino, 26, said. “I just want peace of mind and the thought of being normal gets better every year,” Leo said. “I can’t wait for a time when I can say I’m not a refugee anymore.” Tila, from Bhutan, and Leo, from Zimbabwe, are students at La Trobe University. Tila is studying information technology and Leo nursing. They spoke at La Trobe University’s Visual Arts Centre in View Street on wednesday evening

as part of a seminar series organised by support officer Sue King-Smith about the experience of refugees. Leo spoke about the upheaval in Zimbabwe caused in the wake of the government expelling white farmers. He applied for refugee status in 2006, when it became clear he would be forced into the ragtag army of young men enforcing the violent regime’s directives. “our government made our people refu-

gees,” he said. Tila’s family is part of the Nepalese-speaking minority in Bhutan who were forced to take refuge in Nepal when the government enforced a “one nation, one people” policy two decades ago. He lived in a refugee camp for 18 years, until the family was settled in Australia as part of a refugee scheme. “when I arrived, I was overwhelmed,” Tila said. “For 18 years, I had been hopeless, aimless and futureless.”

Making Waves with ...

ShaunBendigo Makepeace and Weekly Anthony Radford Shaun – Welcome to the editor of the Bendigo Weekly, Anthony Radford. Who did you barrack for in the AFL? Anthony – ABC. Anyone but Collingwood. Shaun – Nice to hear you were Geelong then. Let’s jump on to some of the issues of the week. A very special guest is coming to town. Anthony – We revealed on our website on Thursday night Tony Abbott, Opposition leader, and if you believe the polls, due to become Prime Minister, is coming to Bendigo to do a community forum. I am not too sure how it will go, because I haven’t seen a lot of publicity for it, which suggests for me it’s just going to be a photo opportunity, and the crowd is going to one that’s quite friendly. There will be some climate change people having a rally at the front of The Capital and that will make the headlines as well. It’s good that Bendigo is in the spotlight. Shaun – Is that because we’ve got a seat now that’s up for grabs? That’s pretty much how it works in politics, isn’t it? Anthony – Mr Abbott seems to be going around a lot of seats. But if you look at Bendigo with a 9.5 per cent lead I don’t think the Liberals can win it. With the current polls though, you never know. Shaun – On to sport now, the Bendigo Spirit not having a great lead-in with Kristi Harrower. Anthony – Yes, this is another one we revealed on our website early, negotiations between Kristi and the board of Bendigo Spirit had broken down. It is over an extension of her role as GM, not her playing. Shaun – More based on her tenure of employment? Anthony – Yes, They have only offered her a one-season deal for that part of her position, and she’s obviously looking to secure her future after basketball and is looking for something more long term. I can understand that, and I can understand she might see her future elsewhere. Basketball in Bendigo is quite cliquey, and I hope this is not another case of that ruining the sport.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, October 7, 2011 Letters are not guaranteed to be included and may be edited for reasons of style or content. Letters will not be eligible for consideration if they contain defamatory material, or information of a personal nature which is not in the public domain.

Defending the indefensible IT is fairly predictable, considering the Herald Sun’s dominance in the tabloid market, that there have been a number of opinion page letter writers and commentators who have leapt to the defence of its infamous mouthpiece, Andrew Bolt, after Justice Mordechai Bromberg ruled that he (and his publisher) had breached the Racial Discrimination Act, in publishing offensive and false material pertaining to nine high-profile Aboriginal activists and academics. Bolt’s defenders, alarmingly, reportedly among them, Shadow Attorney General George Brandis, lament a perceived attack upon “free speech” and characterise Bolt as some kind of champion of the truth. In actual fact, it is not free speech which has been attacked by the Federal Court ruling, rather, it is Bolt’s lazy journalism and ignorance and arrogance which has been revealed in all of its unedifying glory. Bolt has often brought journalism into disrepute by dressing up his often odious opinions as legitimate and earnest journalisitic inquiry. Justice Bromberg’s judgement goes some way towards rebalancing the ledger, as well as delivering justice and vindication to those whom Bolt has publicly and repeatedly vilified on racial grounds. It is disappointing that the Herald Sun, as a major newspaper, should continue to attempt to defend the indefensible, and to display such abject recalcitrance and contempt for the judge’s decision with its misleading and disingenuous attack on free-speech headlines. Yet more evidence of the dangers of out-ofcontrol media ownership concentration, perhaps? Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Pokie tragedy THERE has been much debate recently about the Federal Government’s reforms to reduce problem gambling on poker machines and it’s timely to explain again how these reforms will work. For a start they’re not a thought bubble from me. They’re lifted straight from the Productivity Commission, an independent and trusted body which has studied the issue for years and recommended this solution. Under the reforms, mandatory pre-commitment will be fitted to highintensity poker machines with bets of more than $1. This simply means people playing these pokies set limits on their losses with a card before they start gambling. The limit is their choice and many are already carrying loyalty cards similar to pre-commitment cards. But most poker machine players won’t notice a difference and won’t need a card.

Low-intensity poker machines will be rolled out with a $1 maximum bet. These machines won’t be fitted with mandatory pre-commitment. So the 88 per cent of Australians who gamble $1 or less a spin can play these machines just as they do now, without a card. The Federal Parliament will pass the necessary laws by May next year and poker machine venues will have until the end of 2014 to comply. Small venues with 15 machines or less, about 40 per cent of pokie venues, will get until 2018. It is estimated 95,000 Australians have a problem with pokies and each problem gambler affects between five and 10 people. They lose a staggering $5b each year on the pokies. They also routinely lose their jobs, family and friends, homes, minds and sometimes even their lives. Most of us know somebody who has been touched by the terrible hu-

man misery the pokies can cause and I think virtually all Australians agree that something has to be done. It’s time we did something. Like seatbelts reduced the road toll, mandatory pre-commitment will save lives. Andrew Wilkie, Independent Member for Denison

rent subsidy applies can be matched with those on which negative gearing is claimed. There could be a differential rate for negative gearing so that the owners of low- cost rental housing would receive the greatest benefit. It could also be structured so that the overall cost to the government would not change. Stephen Mooney, Bendigo

Paying the rent NEGATIVE gearing is usually justified on the basis of being an effective means for supplying rental accommodation. However, the availability of rental stock for those on a low income is in critically short supply. A way of overcoming this problem is to associate negative gearing with the rent subsidy received through Centrelink by those on a low income. This can be readily administered through the connection between the Centrelink and the Tax Office computers. Properties on which a

Play it safe SOME years ago, the City of Greater Bendigo erected fences all along the creek in Rosalind Park. Over the years, while out walking around Lake Weeroona, I’ve noticed children playing dangerously close to the creek without supervision of adults. I was wondering if council would place safety fences along the creek at Lake Weeroona as well. Jennifer J MitchellSharp, North Bendigo.

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

0710

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22):

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):

For the last two years you have been laboring to improve your status and life direction. At this point in time your efforts are rewarded with recognition and an opportunity to take on greater responsibility. To grow your achievements will require some sacrifice of personal life. Do you want this?

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21): You are bringing closure to a communications project Venus, your ruling planet, has entered the 7th house that is important to your development. Somehow of relationships and will be there until the end of crossing this threshold will open the doorway to the next Oct. She brings improvements in clientele, social possible rung on your ladder. It is not only about career, life, and partnerships. This is a good time to ask for but also about yourself as a person. An opportunity to a professional consultation if you need it. You are especially able to balance with others during this period move toward greater maturity is right before you. in order to create win-win solutions.

This is a tremendously busy week. You are concentrating on multiple tasks. You are pulling things together that are symbolic of who you have become and what you have learned, especially over the last two years. This is a month of achievement and also one which represents a new beginning.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Venus enters your sign this week and will be travelling “with you” throughout Oct. Her presence gives you an air of poise and people will simply like how you look. Sometimes she brings improvement in love life. When Venus is prominent we become more interested in art forms and want to make things in the environment more attractive.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17):

It has been necessary for you to take your beliefs seriously and commit yourself to establish practical ways in which to manifest them. The world requires that you expand your usual territory to include a larger social structure. This is a time of testing. Are you on target? If so, there is a fresh “assignment” on the horizon.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): This is a fairly routine week. In the bigger picture is an accomplishment you seek and you should perceive a “go” signal by the end of the month. In the meantime, it’s details, details, and more details. It is immensely important that your direction and purpose is to promote the best for the greatest number of people.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19): You may be dealing with mixed signals about yourself and your direction in life. These signals may be internal, external, or both. On one level you could be feeling guilty or badly about yourself. This one is exaggerated. On another level, you may be the happy recipient of small gifts, compliments or favors from others.

You are becoming aware of developing issues in a relationship. It is possible you are feeling somehow restricted. Perhaps you are even bored. It is odd that you also feel you should not speak about this problem just yet. Maybe the “other” is ill or under too much pressure. But the time is coming soon.

You are in a reasonably good place with yourself at this time. Your heart and mind are flowing together. You have no conflict between your feelings and your thoughts about those feelings. This is a time for reflection on important subjects. You can make good decisions now.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19):

This is a good week to concentrate on a challenging mental project. It will work better for you if you are revising, editing, or itemizing details. If you are producing a creative work, you are likely to be overly critical of the outcome. The Inner Critic may advise, but it should not be allowed to condemn your efforts.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

You may need to concentrate in order to avoid critics, whether they be internal or external. Instead of blame, use the discipline to tackle a project that requires concentration. If you are tending to contracts and business negotiations use extra caution related to even minor details.

Editorial Comment

TodAY’s story on Page 3 is a shame.

everybody agrees there is a housing crisis in Bendigo. everybody agrees on helping those who need it most. everybody agrees on the right of people to have a solid roof over their heads. However, it seems everybody is not that keen to have the solution in their back yards, or front yards in eaglehawk’s case. news eaglehawk locals are objecting to plans by developer ivar Hunt to set up low-rent accommodation at a vacant pub is disappointing. As one myself, i know eaglehawk residents are passionate about their community. They work tirelessly, often in a volunteer capacity, to support the Borough and those who live in it. They are caring and sharing and very quick to go out of their way to help those in need. That passion, however, has been demonstrated by a small group of people in a negative way.

news • 13

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

This week, a group of about 60 turned up to speak to local councillor Peter Cox and vent their anger at the plan. They made comments such as ”what are they doing to us?”, “we are seen as a place for the underprivileged” and “there’s a park, and if you have people congregating in that area, you can kiss goodbye to attracting clientele to the primary school”. These comments, and many more blurted out at the meeting, are disappointing. eaglehawk has always been a low socio-economic area. A quick skim through local history shows the alluvial gold that attracted people to the Borough quickly ran out, causing poverty. Most people who live in eaglehawk are proud of their working-class roots. it is part of who they are. They also don’t look down on oth-

ers, they help them out. i believe these comments are out of step with the rest of the community. Another argument that has come forward is the fact that the premises will still operate a bar and a bottleshop, and could be too much of a temptation to those who pay for any of the 28 rooms. That argument does not hold any water, given the supermarket across the road sells alcohol, there is another pub across the other side of the intersection and the Borough Club is a short distance away. if there are valid planning reasons for this proposal at the Victoria Hotel in the most prominent intersection in town to be rejected, then fair enough. simply not wanting “undesirables” in the street is not a valid reason to object to anything. our Place, our shed, the salvation Army, st Luke’s and Vinnies all have premises in eaglehawk’s main street for a reason – they are there to support those already living there. They did not bring bad “clientele” to the area.

Real estate a solid investment Bendigo’s long-awaited new hospital project will inject millions of dollars into our community over the next few years, along with about 735 new jobs during the construction stage. This will also have a knock-on effect with other jobs being created in all sorts of other areas of the economy. We already have a shortage of rental accommodation with the vacancy rate generally less than .05 per cent over the past two years. There has also been a lack of investment in rental properties being built over this period. Real estate has gone under the radar over the past few years as an investment vehicle. Most investment and superannuation portfolios include shares, bonds, term deposits – particularly now due to the market uncertainty. With my own self-managed super fund, i believe that in the current economic climate you should have a balanced investment portfolio that includes real estate, equities and term deposits.

it was my belief we would see quite a downturn in recent weeks – and it has happened. We had already seen financial-market volatility over the past two months. But this does create buying opportunities on the share market, provided that we look at the longterm future. Political leadership is wanting all over the world – look no further than europe and the United states. Japan has its fifth prime

minister in six years, bailouts are required in greece, ireland, Portugal, and spain and so on, but the debt problems are still not resolved. The United states has nowhere to go, as both democrats and Republicans can’t agree, just like Australia, but with America neither side will give ground for fear that it may affect their election chances in november next year, again just like Australia.

construction starts. it is the old theory of supply and demand, and therefore rental returns will increase. if, as i predict, we go into some sort of downturn then the Reserve Bank will have to decrease interest rates and your return on fixed deposits will go from approximately six per cent to five per cent. The upside from investing in real estate is that you generally get a capital gain, unlike some investments, where it is

so therefore with all this uncertainty, it is a good prospect that real estate, particularly in Bendigo, should be seen as an excellent investment in my opinion. Yes, i come from a real estate background, but in these uncertain times i see some real value in the real estate market. it has been suggested that real estate in Australia is anywhere between 10-40 per cent overpriced and that may be the case in some

higher-priced suburbs, but i don’t believe that applies to Bendigo. Bendigo has always run between the highs and lows in the investment booms and has been a stable commodity. You may well only get an approximate four per cent return, but if you buy well, that figure should be improved. There is no doubt in my mind that rentals will rise when the new hospital

PARDON the pun, but apparently the market for quail is not big. “It’s not a huge market compared to regular poultry,” Nash Cowie of Wangara Poultry and Game said this week. “And farmers come and go, so we have to source our quail from two or three different suppliers,” he said. “Quail are not yet considered mainstream.” Wangara runs the Bendigo Gourmet Poultry and Game abattoir in the Mayfair Park Industrial Estate. Small the market for quail may be, but last week they had to supply 600 of the little birds for the tense pre-game munchers in the members dining room at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. No meat pies and chips for those wanting

TASTY MORSELS: Bendigo quails were served in the members section of the MCG.

to make a gourmet day of the AFL Grand Final: it was spiced quail, with a side dish of fricasseed magpie. Nash (the son of director Michael) said Wangara was set up 25 years ago as a poultry farm but has since diversified into supplying the more unusual end of the meat market. As well as quail, they now distribute things like emu, kangaroo, hare and even snails. The Bendigo name became part of the business when they bought an abattoir here, and began to specialise in game birds for the gourmet market (which is primarily Asian restaurants). Even though the quail are being prepared on our doorstep (and you can eat them at restaurants such as Le Bouchon), no butcher shop in Bendigo sells them. “We’d like to get big-

0710

ger and go full-scale,” Nash said. “But if there are not enough people buying it yet, then it’s a bit hit and miss.” At the MCG on Grand Final Day, those in the members’ dining room ate their quail with a baby eggplant and zucchini salad, pinenut pesto and lemon dressing, executive chef Peter Haycroft said. (They also chomped through 400 punnets of herb garnishes from Bendigo’s herb-kings, B&B Basil.) Along with the quail, camel and buffalo are proving to be something of an acquired taste. Nash said those cuts of meat are “not exactly walking out the door”. Kangaroo, on the other hand, is going gangbusters, although possibly it would not be a good idea to serve up kangaroo meatloaf at an AFL game.

AN award-winning biography has had an error of fact corrected, thanks to the alert attention of a group of Castlemaine women. Margaret Reynolds was the half-sister of Manning Clark, who wrote The History of Australia. In a new biography of Clark, An Eye for Eternity, Mark McKenna writes that Margaret had two children, confusing her with her mother, who married and had another child following her affair with Clark’s father. Ms Reynolds lived for many years in Castlemaine where she died in 2005. Her friends Betty Morris and Brenda Skinner were surprised to discover when the new biography came out that Margaret was recorded as having two children. They alerted Margaret’s nephew, Philip Ingamells, who confirmed that the small error crept into Prof McKenna’s text in a conversation. Mr Ingamells said he taped Margaret talking about her life (which included unusual events for a woman, such as becoming a welder) before his aunt died. He has since lost those tapes, during vari-

ous house-movings, but hopes that they might be found again one day. “She would not have liked this attention at all,” Mr Ingamells said. “She respected the family, and was not at all the sort of person to make a fuss,” he said. Dr McKenna, who is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, confirmed the paperback of An Eye for Eternity will correct the error about Margaret. He said Margaret’s story is “inspiring”. “I think the story as told in the book shows the strength of Margaret’s spirit and her determination to be independent and to right the wrongs in her life,” he said. “The process of researching biography often brings up aspects of a person’s life which might differ from the memories of those who knew them.” An Eye for Eternity, published by Melbourne University Publishing, won both the Victorian and Queensland Premiers Awards for non-fiction. - Rosemary Sorensen Join the Bendigo Weekly Bookclub at bookclub@bendigoweekly. com.au

Ban the ban, that’s a plan In this over-controlled world, can’t we just let people make their own choices in life? Moderation and care is the key...

SOMEBODY’S got to put a stop to this. Can we have a ban on the constant threat of bans, please? In the nanny state that is Australia, the powers that be are trying to save us from ourselves. But life is all about choice, whether it’s Star Wars or Star Trek, Friends or How I Met Your Mother, good choice or bad. And we only learn in life from making a few bad ones. Equally, we all have addictions, whether it’s drugs, junk food or sport; and some like to combine all three at the same time. My ultimate vice is movies. And being a serial late returner of DVDs, the threat of a life ban from the long suffering Video Ezy down the road hasn’t scared me into timekeeping conformity. Yet. Mainly because there are other options, like Blockbuster or broadband, to get my fix. And sometimes a ban only makes you crave the forbidden fruit even more. When I was a kid, a family tub of ice cream would only be bought when it was on special. Which meant hardly ever. So watching kids at school gorge themselves on a Barney Banana at lunch-

It’s her choice, and she imposes her own limits reverse psychology (or pharmacy), it’s been reported ecstasy could be used to treat people with trauma. Knowing a bloke who used to pop “E” like it was Vitamin C, I thought the drug was the cause of insecurity, paranoia and fear, not the cure. In any case, Professor Nutt believes “people haven’t thought about the

negative consequences” of restricting their use. Which leads us to poker machines, a hot topic closely imbedded with politics this year, and not just for the spin factor (boom boom). The current Federal Government could fall because of a reneged pokie promise with Andrew Wilkie, who wants to limit the fallout from those taking the pokie plunge. While closer to home, our council decided last week to not allow the Bendigo Stadium an extra 30 pokies (even though their local pokie policy carries as much weight as styro-foam bench press bar). It’s all about damage control. And control. Personally, 30 additional poker machines means diddily squat, as would an extra 3000 for that matter. Like Fifi Box, I can’t see the appeal. I’d rather slip a few coins into one of those gyrating kids mechanical amusements outside supermarkets and jump on, than into a pokie. Not because it’s a risk, but because they’re so damn boring. But a lot of people do, like my dear nan, who happily puts a few bob into

the pokies each week, and a more solid citizen you couldn’t find. It’s her choice, and she imposes her own limits on her use. Unfortunately, we live in a world of rule and regulation far removed from her day when you could happily pack a six pack of beer in with your sandwiches on a trip to the MCG. Sadly, today’s society continues to remove not only choice, but responsibility. In a PR driven world,

where few take responsibility for their actions, there seems to be a ready made excuse for everything and everyone. Even Tiger Woods, who was a focused, self-made golfing machine, until he was suddenly became a helpless victim at the mercy of his sex addiction, once he got busted playing with a different kind of club. A simple ban on things is the easy answer, and it doesn’t always work. One of the big bans of recent history, Prohibition,

only really benefited a few, Al Capone for one. Like booze of the 1930s, and video games and violent movies of late last century, facebook is now in the gun. Facebook facilitates cyberbullying, no question, but it’s an outlet for something that has existed for centuries, and merely moved away from the shelter sheds. Like pokies, using facebook with a degree of moderation and care, is the key. And it’s your choice. Let’s hope it stays that way.

DISCOVER BENDIGO

Education a priority IF any person had claim to cementing the foundations of education in the colony of Victoria, surely the honour should go to one man. Angus Mackay, a personality of substantial intellectual and campaigning capacity had at one time been active in the classroom as a teacher, so he could relate to education in a very personal way. The most dramatic changes in a democratic society are made through the instrument of parliament, and this was certainly the case relating to the provision of education in Victoria. Of solid Scottish Presbyterian background, Mackay was brought to the neighbouring colony of New South Wales by his family when he was only three years of age. He had a colonial upbringing and as such could intimately relate to the aspiration of the settlers who had come vast distances to seek a new life, on what was then considered alien shores. Originally it had been Mackayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention to enter the Presbyterian ministry, to that end his education at the hands of good educators was

WITH

JAMES LERK directed towards this scholastic discipline. He cut his teeth as an English Master at Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian College. His teaching stint there was so successful that Mackay was appointed headmaster of a Presbyterian public school. Journalism lay close to Mackayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart and he began writing for various journals, which led him to become a leading article contributor. In time his talents led him to be appointed as editor of the Atlas newspaper. Through his journalistic abilities Mackay was to come into association with others who were helping to mould public opinion such as Henry Parkes, a future premier and later campaigner of Australian federation. With the published discovery of gold in New South Wales, Mackay was among those who helped to record this significant event and continued to provide accurate reports on the development of various fields. With the discovery of gold in the new colony

of Victoria, it was the accuracy of the reports from the pen of Angus Mackay that helped to inform the public and no doubt contributed to the rushes that resulted. Mackay decided there should be a first hand account coming from the Victorian goldfields and as such was one of the early arrivals having

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mackay held a strong belief that (education) should be available to allâ&#x20AC;? spent time on the Ovens field (the Beechworth area) and then coming to Bendigo. His views were sought by the Victorian colonial government pertaining to the rushes and gave evidence to the Goldfields Commission of 1853. The Argus newspaper in Melbourne, sought his talents as a journalist and Mackay became their Bendigo correspondent. In 1855 Angus

Mackay became a part owner of The Bendigo Advertiser, being its editor. Mackay had used his journalistic editorials as a means of campaigning for important issues relating to the goldfields population, his views led him to be approached to enter the political sphere. In 1868 he was elected to Parliament as a local representative, an active contributor to debate led him to be recognised among fellow members. By 1870 Mackay was appointed Minister of Mines. His contribution to mining legislation was immense. It was in the area of education that is of significance, Mackay held a strong belief that it should be available to all, importantly that it should be free, in this he had a like-minded colleague in Mr Wrixton. Together they were responsible for drafting the legislation that was to make education in Victoria free, compulsory and secular in an Act that was passed in 1872. The significance of

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sthis?

VISIONARY: Angus Mackay, the local member who introduced the Education Act. this legislation for the future of the colony was profound. Fortunately the colony was reasonably flush with funds as a result of gold and agricultural production, so to implement the new Education Act was not impossible. Most children in the colony only had received partial, or no education, as many parents were not in a financial position to pay fees to attend the schools previously operating in the colony. As a result of this new legislation the days of the Irishtown schools that had existed up until this time would be numbered. The pre-existing schools were to give way to those run by the state.

Mark surges ahead

SLASHING his business energy bill by 25 per cent makes good sense to Central Victorian Technology Services owner Mark Hilson. Mr Hilson took part in the Central Victoria Solar City Business Energy Assessment research trial and received a breakdown of where his energy dollars are being spent in his business, and what he can do to lower them and retain the capital. As reported last week, the Bendigo Weekly has joined forces with Central Victoria Solar City to promote the Target 30 campaign during October. The campaign aims to pave the way for 1600 new jobs and inject half a billion dollars back into the community. A rapidly expanding business has meant energy costs are going up quickly for Mr Hilson so a 25 per cent saving represents a substantial cost reduction that will continue to pay back over time. As a company focused on using technology, the greatest savings were in the area of better managing usage. The assessor was able to advise Mr Hilson on how to best manage the consumption patterns of his equipment, especially what could be turned off, when, and how. ‘‘It was an empowering experience,” Mr Hilson said. The assessor also helped him identify where there was excess lighting that could be removed or replaced with cheaper options, including new lights that use a fraction of the cost of normal bulbs. With heating and cooling so important in an office, the assessor was also able to provide solutions for increasing the comfort and therefore the productivity of the staff, while also reducing costs.

TURN off the Old Calder Highway at Harcourt, up the drive winding between the vineyards, to the heart of Bress, and you pretty much feel like you are visiting Arcadia. Cradled in the granite embrace of Mt Alexander, this cidery and winery is picturesque to the point of corniness: querulous geese hiss at your approach, a gaggle of guinea fowl clatter away comically, Ollie the dog lumbers out with a smile on his face to welcome you. Inside the huge sheds, there’s the rumble of work, and at this time of year, the vines are budding and the apple trees too, frosting the fields around with delicate pink. There’s hardly a leaf out of place. In the tasting room at the cellar door, where the ciders and wines with the distinctive Bress cock label are lined up, everything is shipshape too, invitingly glistening in the clear light of this glorious part of the Goldfields. The man behind all this loveliness is, then, something of a surprise. “Get that barrel off the ute, lovely lips,” Adam Marks shouts to young Connor, who

is helping out during school holidays. “Get out of the way, you freaks,” he shouts at the badtempered geese. “Let’s go emu bobbing, sweetheart,” he shouts to his new employee, a young woman from Colombia who is learning the ropes. Emu bobbing is looking for guinea fowl eggs in the long grass, which has to be done each evening so the eggs can be put into an incubator. No guinea fowl has obliged this day, but the chook eggs are labelled and placed in the warmth, with an instruction to Sielo that she must

Sielo watches it all carefully. She hopes to work at Bress across the summer, and by the end of a couple of hours in the company of Adam, she quietly says, yes, she thinks this will be a good place to be. Adam Marks and his wife Lynne Jensen, a corporate lawyer, bought what used to be the Mt Alexander winery seven years ago. It was very run down at the time, well-known in the region as a place where you could never be sure what kind of welcome you’d get. In his characteristically colourful language, Adam describes it as a place where the

Finally, they have things just about where they want them... turn them each morning. Connor, a good-tempered kid from Marong, where his parents have a vineyard, gets in a few return serves as the boss strides off around the property, showing Sielo what has to be done in the nursery, in the chookpen, over at the cellar door. But mostly he’s the brunt of a constant stream of bullying humour, sometimes veering dangerously close to risque but mostly fond.

potential was clear, but needed a great deal of hard work to develop. A winemaker for many years, Adam had been making wine under the Bress label for three years when they bought the property and set about renovating the stone house, reducing the variety of vines, making the whole enterprise sustainable and biodynamic.

things just about where they want them. In love with and inspired by all things French (Bress is a region of southern France famous for its chickens), Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals are to farm in an environmental and sustainably sound manner, to match his grapes to the Harcourt region, and to make Bress wonderfully welcoming, a place you can wander around in at your leisure. He is (characteristically again) scathing about the Bendigo Winemakers Association, which he says is too small and family-oriented to make a serious mark. The region could, however, be a serious player, because it does have the climate and the landscape to produce top-class wines. The way to go, according to Adam, would be to focus on organic wines, making that the point of difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What holds the region back is when people take their superannuation money, people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what they are doing, put in good vineyards, but then, three years later when it gets tough, they start to cut corners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lack of technical expertise means the wines are faulty and that blights the reputation of the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do it right.â&#x20AC;? Although he is a little troubled by his chardonnay, and is planning a way (involving a visiting French winemaker) to put it right, Adam thinks that, finally, Bress is doing it right. Finally, too, he may be living down the ignominy of the mad day four years ago when he drank too much, went out of control and ended up becoming known as the man who wiped his bottom with party pies and headed off to serve them up at a shire event. Adam outs himself about this unprompted, joking about it a little nervously as he recalls

FACING COMMUNITY MEGAN SPENCER When Hugh Waller begins talking about Bend Arts,the new arts group he started in Bendigo only weeks ago, his answer to my first question startles me.

Angry Anderson (far left) and Rose Tattoo.

TATT’S ALL FOLKS BEN CAMERON These are the last days of Rose Tattoo. After 35 albeit i nte r r u p te d years of rocking as hard as anybody, Angry Anderson knows the end is nigh for The Tatts. “These are the last days,” he says. “That’s why it’s not overly dramatic... we’re all moving on and we’ve got the rest of our lives to live. “I don’t want to be staggering around... we’re not the Rolling Stones making billions. “I don’t know how old I’ll be before I finally walk away, but it’s not too far down the track.” It will be a mix of the old and the new when The Tatts help launch The Corner Venue next Saturday night as a dedicated music destination. Angry is simply happy to be opening a pub for a change. “Our reputation is that we’ve closed more venues than we’ve opened,” he laughs, well aware of The Tatts’ reputation for excess noise, and attracting what he calls a “large cross-section of people”. “We used to attract the volatile bunch of people. “We attracted people from different backgrounds, and music tastes. “At the same gig we’d play in front of skinheads, heavy metal kids, out and out rockabilly rockers... and they would clash. “We still get a large cross-

section of people coming to see the band, (but) there’s none of the real aggro, which we don’t miss. “All the drunken idiots are out on the street now (because of 2pm lockouts), whereas they used to be all in the pub, and stinks would be started.” Angry played a few gigs with friend Alan Barnes around Bendigo earlier in the year, but next Saturday will be the band’s first visit to the region since, dare we say it, their heyday. “Let’s face it, back in the old days towns like Ballarat and Bendigo were rock ’n’ roll towns,” he says. “But they’re not towns, they’re cities these days. “Our strong following was always working class people and people who work hard and play hard, and that’s the good thing about a rural city... people want to have a skin-full and have a dance and have a sing.” Angry reckons The Tatts have come full circle, by going back to where it all began. In regional areas. “You can play the big barns around the major cities, but in all honesty we don’t pull the crowds we used to,” he says. “The fans have moved on. We would rather play smaller pubs and have a great time... that’s the way we’d like to remember it (their career). “We don’t want to play halfempty barns with people looking at your like you’ve got three heads.” Angry’s passionate voice on many issues has endeared, or enraged, many people over the years. And The Tatts are an extension of his want to opine. “We don’t ever hold back,” he says of The Tatts. “We always swore we’d live

by the oath that we’d go on stage as if it could be the last moment you have. “If that is so, you’ve got a good chance of putting the intensity and commitment into the performance. “You think ‘Well if this is going to be the last one on earth, it’s going to be a beauty.” The Corner Venue will name its main stage after Australian music icon, Greg Clark; a man Angry came to love through years of gigging, who passed away earlier this year. “He was one of the true, true lovely men,” Angry says. “It was tragic, he had a very rare heart condition; part of his legacy is that he was written up in the books, (he’s) gone into academic medical history. “To use a well worn, but well deserved phrase in his case, he was a shining light.” Clark’s passing has reaffirmed Angry’s whole-hearted attitude to living. “It has to be about passion, as cliched and romantic as that sounds, it has to be about passion,” he says. “I’ve never really listened to the critics and I’ve never let anybody define me. “I’m the only person who can define me.” So how would you? “I’m a survivor, I’m a believer,” he says. “I’m a believer in the power that I’ve given my life too, which is rock ’n’ roll. “Passion for life is what keeps people alive. “If you lose that, you start to wither.”

Rose Tattoo play The Corner Venue on Saturday, Octobert 15.

“ H o w many members does the group have?” I ask, pen poised. “ O n e hundred and twenty-two,” he answers. Then thinking aloud, he adds “On Friday we had 43, and by Sunday we had 122”. “It trebled within three days?” “Yep”. If we were talking real world group membership, such as a ye olde monthly members meeting in a hall somewhere – and back a few decades too – of course such a membership spike would be phenomenal. Eighty newbies showing up out of the blue, over one weekend to participate in a fledgling regional arts group? Not likely. But we’re not. We’re talking about a Facebook group, which Hugh started a month ago, as a result of a deficit he saw in the artistic landscape of Bendigo. A digital artist of 10 years, the last time we spoke for this column, it was about an exhibition Hugh held with two friends at Dudley House. At the tail end he told me he wanted to start a social group for local artists, to meet and swap information. Et voila, Bend Arts is born. “Oh it had to be done,” he says, with the courage of his convictions. “There are still many artists – or creative people – in Bendigo who exist at a kind of sub-

Artist Hugh Waller. terranean level. With Bend Arts I want to bring them into the light – both the general public and artists at large. “At the moment it’s a starting point. I want to get the ball rolling for creative people within our community to get connected, and provide a Central Information Hub, with local and interstate opportunities. “It’s also a space where people can show their work, promote events or for random thought,” he laughs. “The idea is for people to get involved and post [content] – not just leave it to the same people all the time”. So far the Bend Arts Facebook group is made up of a “broad spectrum” of members aged 18 to 55, being professional and amateur writers, visual artists, cartoonists, crafters, musicians, venue owners, sculptors and photographers, and – just as importantly – their audience. “You don’t have to be an artist to join,” says Hugh. “There’s an expectation too that others should be taking care of the arts for us. I think we’ve got to help ourselves.” For now Hugh is happy to volunteer his time. But it’s a

numbers game. “Statistically we should be able to support this,” he says of Bendigo, with maths on his side. “If the Bureau of Statistics says that 15 per cent of the population support art events other than cinema, then in a city of 92,000 we should be able to get at least 1000 members. “Once that happens I should be able to get some local [financial] interest, to help support hosting the website and contribute”. I ask Hugh to time travel forward a year. Where would he like things to be for Bend Arts? “The Facebook group is only a part of it,” he answers before I even finish the question. “The website is up – with a mobile website too – there are Bend Arts social events, pub nights, functions, members’ exhibitions, gigs, writing events – who knows, we might even have a festival “Realistically it could take three to four years years”, he adds. “But I never thought we’d have this level of interest so early either”. With a bit more help from Facebook, it might be a lot quicker than he thinks.

The Mental Health Promotion Working Group is made up from a number of representatives from health, welfare, education, government

and carer organisations within Bendigo, including Bendigo Health. Newbridge football club are donating four umpires, three water runners and three BBQ operators for the event. They would like to give something back to the community after the communities generosity to them after the floods. Bendigo Bank are sponsoring the day, providing meat for the players BBQ. David Twomey will again be present at the match as well as Steven Oliver, head of Bendigo Football/Netball League and Peter Lodewijks, Manager of Bendigo Bank. For more information about other events running through Mental Health Week, please see the Event Calendar in the Mental Health Supplement.

Meggi rides to help

Y name is Megan, I am a 15 year old student at Bendigo South East College and over the past four years I have suffered from the signs and symptoms of a debilitating mental health issue. Since grade 6 I have suffered from fainting spells, which increased in frequency and severity through my secondary school years. During year 9 I began to have full body seizures along with extended periods of unconsciousness almost on a daily basis. After many different possible diagnoses over the years from cardiac based to epilepsy and all the associated tests I eventually ended up at the RCH neurological unit. I was diagnosed with psychogenic

seizures which occur when I convert my emotional/mental stress into physical stress. At this time I became very aware of the number of other young people who surround me who were also affected by various mental health issues. Many of them do not have a specific diagnosis and are simply trying to cope with help from family, friends or their schools. I tried many different styles of treatment from kinesiology, Chinese medicine, psychology and hypnosis all of which assisted me in different ways. The stigma and uncertainty which has affected so many different aspects of my life have made me realise that we need far more awareness and understanding of the many types

of mental illness which affect our youth and a supportive network of agencies that can assist them. On Friday, October 14, I will ride 500 laps of the Tom Flood Velodrome in order to raise awareness and funds for St Lukes and Headspace, both of which provide support for young people.

Mental Health week Male carers of people with a mental illness

HEN we think about the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;carerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; often the image that comes to mind is of a woman, perhaps a mother. It may surprise you to learn that 30 per cent of all carers are male. Female carers tend to be more visible than their male counterparts. In part this is because men are less likely to access services or ask for assistance, either formal or informal. This reluctance or inability of many male carers to access support and assistance may put them at risk of poorer physical and emotional health. Many men caring for a child or partner with a mental illness are likely to experience difficulty in juggling home, work and financial commitments. They may be at risk of developing significant physical and/or emotional health problems, ranging from fatigue and burnout to chronic illness. Compared to female carers, men are more likely to have smaller or non-existent support networks, resulting in social isolation. They may also experience greater difficulty in accessing services. There is no shame in being a male carer. Indeed, male carers deserve our respect and support. If you are a man caring for someone with a mental illness it is important to ensure that your own physical and emotional health is taken care of as well. Getting enough rest, exercise, healthy diet and social support are all

important factors in self-care. Visiting a GP or menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health service regularly is another strategy that can make a big difference. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been for a while, now is a good time. Talking to someone about your situation can also help and there are many carer groups in the area that provide a friendly and confidential environment. Sharing stories and strategies with other men in a similar situation can help you put things into perspective and reduce the isolation. Support services for carers can offer practical assistance with respite and coping strategies, as well as emotional support. For more information about services that may help please contact Faye Hayman at Bendigo Health Centre for Rural Mental Health on 5454 7753, or Carer Support Services on 1800 068 978.

Being a carer

ARERS can be wives, husbands, partners, parents, young people, neighbours or friends. At some period in our lives we may become a carer, or need, a carer. No matter who you care for, taking on a caring role can be a huge learning curve that can bring with it many challenges and rewards. Carers can sometimes feel very isolated due to the lack of understanding about mental health issues, and they can miss out on the social interactions that most people receive through work, friends and recreation. Caring can also place a financial burden on the family, and impact on their planning for the future. But with the challenges, for some carers it can also be

rewarding, with the development of new skills, the feeling of satisfaction knowing that you have helped someone through a particular challenging time, or just being there and providing hope for that person. Having hope for some carers is really important, and no matter how small the achievements are, on any given day this is what can help to get carers through the

tough times. Remember to have a chat to friends, family or your GP; to find out what supports are in the community; this can make an enormous difference in taking care of yourself. When we are caring for someone else it is easy to forget to take care of ourselves, but if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take care of yourself you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in a position to care for someone else.

The challenges of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dual Diagnosisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

HEN someone has both a mental illness and a drug or alcohol problem it is often referred to as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dual diagnosisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Dual diagnosis is common. People with a mental illness have a higher than average chance of also having a drug or alcohol disorder. This can create unique challenges for them and for their family and friends; sometimes made more distressing by the stigma that surrounds these problems. Derogatory terms such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;madâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drunkardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;druggieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are words that

may be used by those with no understanding of the complexity and tragedy that are often hidden by the visible behaviours. People who care for someone with a dual diagnosis may find that their own life is affected in many ways. It is important in a situation like this to ensure that adequate support is available for everyone who is affected. Although there are no simple solutions or quick fixes, there are strategies that carers can use to help them cope and to help them support their loved one in their

recovery. During Carerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Week this year, Bendigo Health Psychiatric Services is running a one-day workshop for carerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of people with a dual diagnosis. The workshop will assist carers to understand dual diagnosis and strategies for supporting the person they care for and coping with their own responses. The workshop will be held in Bendigo on October 31. For more information or to reserve a place please contact Faye Hayman on 5454 7753.

GPs can help with your mental health and wellbeing. Over 3.4 million Australians consult their GP for depression each year. What is depression? It is a condition characterised by feelings of extreme sadness and dejection. Depression is more than a low mood, or feelings of sadness at a loss. Depression results from a combination of physical and psychological factors, causing chemical changes in the brain. It is a medical condition which causes both physical and psychological issues but, if detected, can be treated using a range of effective and safe treatment approaches. Taking action. The Mental Health Programs at CVGPN, AKA Better Outcomes, provides a range of free psychological interventions for clients on low incomes who are experiencing mental health issues. All clients wishing to access our programs must have a Mental Health Care Plan prepared by their GP prior to being seen by us. If you would like further information call 5441 7004.

Families affected by parental mental illness

ARENTING can be one of the best, but also one of the hardest jobs, and when you are experiencing mental health problems things can be really tough. While many parents with mental health problems can and do parent very well, families often face a lot of challenges. Most parents have ‘bad’ days, but the symptoms of mental illness can turn a family’s life upside down. Extreme tiredness, sadness, confusion and anxiety can make everyday jobs such as cooking, cleaning, paying bills and getting kids to school seem overwhelming. Added to this is the stigma around mental illness. Once there was a belief that people with mental health problems couldn’t and shouldn’t be parents. While we now know that mental illness does not prevent people from being great mums or dads, this myth can still make families withdraw. People can fear being labelled as ‘unfit’ parents, or even that they will have their children taken from them. The result can be families that are very

isolated and struggling alone. But things don’t need to be this way, as the right support and resources can make a big difference. Most families, regardless of whether a parent has a mental health problem need a helping hand at some stage. So, if you, or someone you know is a parent with a mental health problem, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Services such as counselling, parents groups, education for children and information can all have a positive impact and are available from community mental health services, GPs, community health and welfare organisations. There is no doubt that having a mental illness can be can hard, but it should not stop people enjoying one of life’s most rewarding rolesbeing a parent.

Women,

anger

and strong emotion W

OMEN,, Anger and OMEN Strong Emotion is a group program for women who struggle with the emotion of anger. The program is a partnership between Bendigo Community Health Services, Bendigo Health and Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Loddon Mallee, and runs for 8 weeks. Women who have participated in the program have found it to very helpful, and have gained a greater understanding of their experience of anger, its influences and triggers, learning strategies for expressing anger in ways that are healthy and respectful to both themselves and others. Anger is often an emotion which women are socialised into viewing as negative, and wrong to express and feel, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfeminineâ&#x20AC;?. This program helps women to understand anger as an energy that can be channelled and expressed in useful ways. Participants learn ways of â&#x20AC;&#x153;stepping backâ&#x20AC;? from their strong emotion, and making choices

about how they want to respond to a situation, rather than just reacting out of automatic habits. They learn breathing techniques, assertive communication strategies, ways to understand and work with their body and mind, techniques for managing anxiety, and ways of just â&#x20AC;&#x153;being withâ&#x20AC;? difficult emotion, rather than avoiding it or putting it out onto someone else in unhealthy ways. Women also gain a stronger understanding of the importance of valuing and caring for themselves. Women, Anger and Strong Emotion is running again in Term 4 of this year. The program is almost full, but if anyone interested, they can contact Bridget Nutting at Bendigo Health, on 5440 6065, or Maggie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shea at Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Loddon Mallee on 5443 0233, and be placed on a waiting list for the next program.. There are some suitability criteria for this program.

Mindful meditation and relaxation

T is often very hard to really live in and enjoy the â&#x20AC;&#x153;nowâ&#x20AC;?, in a society which encourages us to be very focused on â&#x20AC;&#x153;doingâ&#x20AC;?, and seems to value busyness over peacefulness. We are pushed to seek â&#x20AC;&#x153;happinessâ&#x20AC;? in all sorts of places, when in truth, being happy is often more about being content and at peace with who and where you are in life at any given time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mindful Meditation and Relaxationâ&#x20AC;?, is an 8 week program for women, which provides a quiet and peaceful space to

learn and experience a variety of meditation and relaxation techniques. Women who have participated in the program have found it to be helpful with stress, anxiety and depression, sleep, pain, and just slowing down and giving to themselves in a positive and healthy way. Participants learn how to better tune into their bodies, to use their senses to ground themselves in the present, rather than dwelling on the past or future, and to be kinder and less critical of themselves. They practice ways of being less

preoccupied with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;head chatterâ&#x20AC;?, and becoming more able to step back and observe themselves, rather than feeling caught up in their thoughts or emotions. Meditation and relaxation are shown to have significant health benefits on many levels. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mindful Meditation and Relaxationâ&#x20AC;? program will be run through Bendigo Health, and begins on October 20th. Anyone interested can contact Bridget Nutting on 54 40 6065.

RIGHT FIT: At Athlete’s Foot.

Step into better health

ET walking is the message from podiatrists for Foot Health Month this year. The Podiatry association has listed unsuitable shoes and sore feet as two of the reasons people are not getting enough exercise. But the staff at The Athlete’s Foot can help to change that. The Athlete’s Foot can fit you into the correct footwear for your feet and for your needs, so you can get walking in comfort in no time. Walking is one of the simplest forms of exercise and can be an enjoyable activity for people of all ages. The Australian Heart Foundation recommends at least 30 minutes of activity daily. Walking every day will really make a difference to how you feel and your over-

all health and wellbeing. Regular exercise such as walking reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, colon cancer and obesity. You don’t need a lot of fancy gear to get you started, but it is important that you have good fitting, comfortable walking shoes. Poorly fitting shoes will hurt and can cause damage to your feet and are a real de-motivator. Why not visit your local podiatrist during Foot Health week for a foot health test and then come into The Athletes Foot for your free Fitprint analysis. For further information come into The Athletes Foot in the Hargreaves Mall and speak to one of their highly trained Fit Technicians or phone 5441 8064.

REGULAR maintenance is vital for ensuring the longevity of any property, and just as you would paint on a regular basis, so too should you maintain your roof. Step in Roof Smart. Peter Browning and Jason March of Roof Smart are experts in their trade, with more than 30 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; combined experience in the industry. They are a locally owned business, not a franchise. They specialise in galvanised and tiled (terracotta and cement) roofs, spouting, roof repairs, and offer honest and professional advice on the exact needs of your roof. New roofing doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just enhance the overall look of your home, it will increase the value of your property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The renovation of a roof can add anywhere from $5000 to $10,000 value to a property, and offers peace of mind that your major asset is protected,â&#x20AC;? Jason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen the common problems roofs face including moss covered terracotta tiles, porous cement tiles and re-pointing requirements, and there is no doubt prevention is the best cure,â&#x20AC;? Peter added. In addition to the regular service

&$// 12:

Since July of this year there have been major changes at Bendigo Day Surgery with the board of directors appointing a permanent chief executive officer. Previously Bendigo Day Surgery had been managed by a part-time ceO from Albury, but the board felt that this did not benefit the organisation or the community. Bendigo Day Surgery is now managed by new ceO, Philip Sutton, a Bendigonian who practised commercial law in Bendigo for nearly 30 years. Philip brings a strong background in business and commercial management with qualifications in law and accounting, and a strong commitment to the community. combined with the Director of nursing Sally Mcinerney, BDS now has a formidable management

team, with changes in many areas. Accounting is now managed by the local firm of AFS. Branding has been updated to reflect the values of BDS which culminate in their new vision â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Partner in Medical excellence. in addition, their services have been expanded to encourage young up and coming surgeons, particularly in the fields of gynaecology and orthopaedics, with the

purchase of new technology. The level of care and service remains the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of the highest quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely pleased with the professionalism and commitment shown by all staff members,â&#x20AC;? Philip Sutton said. BDS is located at 1 chum Street, Bendigo, opposite the gates to Fortuna. Phone 5444 3533 or visit the website www. bendigodaysurgery.com.au for further information.

a better pest free environment gOne are the days when harassed housewives drowned their loved ones in cans of fly spray in order to get rid of flys, mosquitoes and spiders that might have spoilt every summer in years gone by. now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a company that has gone to all the effort to come up with the right formula and approach to help us with our pest problems. Spider Sprayers Pty Ltd is a successful gippsland company which is now extending its business to Bendigo. This highly professional and exceptionally equipped business has successfully employed the services and support of an experienced and qualified local pest controller. Darren curren has spent the last five years gaining experience in the pest control field with the objective of helping householders

eradicate a large range of pests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a long lasting and more efficient result a yearly treatment on the home and garden results in a more controlled pest free environment,â&#x20AC;? Darren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have chosen a human-friendly formula which is odourless, non-staining and safe.â&#x20AC;? Darren enjoys the feedback he continually gets from satisfied clients, telling him they enjoy the more relaxed lifestyle along

with the kids and having a barbecue without being pestered by flies or eaten by mosquitoes.

LIVESTOCK SHARPEI CROSS, FAWN MALE, 1 YEAR 3 MONTHS Hi there, my name is Wallace and I am a superb looking dog who has been house trained and lived as an inside/outside boy. I even used to sleep on my owner’s bed. I am in need of some leadership, as I can be very energetic and bouncy and I sometimes see people as equals. Training will help to remedy this and make me a great companion. I will be desexed upon adoption. SHARNI DSH, BLACK FEMALE, 5 MONTHS

Hi there, my name is Sharni and I am a gorgeous friendly girl. I am very affectionate, I have a personality that has alot of affection and love to give. I enjoy getting my cuddles. I am sociable with the other cats around me and would love a family or individual who would like to spend some quality time with me. I will be desexed upon adoption.

On the 7th of October it’s Happy Tails Day, buy our merchandise from a local RSPCA, Big W, Bendigo Bank, Selected Vets or online.

GOOD TIMES: There is more than just a healthy outlook on the road.

Riches on the road CYCLING can result in many hours on roads from one end of the City of Greater Bendigo to other shires and localities. We all get to appreciate our favourite routes and roads for their surface and terrain and the vista of the landscape in certain seasons. We get to pick up many things on these roads that can be a source of frustration and costly in some cases. The countless broken bottles that have been dumped in the bike lanes (some roads and days of the week are worse than others) are a costly pick up if slicing the sidewall of tyre beyond repair. Another problem for the avid cyclist are the steel belted radial spines that have come from the tyres of cars that are well past their roadworthy state. These are like fine pins that create a slow puncture and can be quite difficult to locate and remove from the tyre tread. Some road sur-

There are the many comments or tooting of the horn we get joy to be noticed. Another pick up on the road can be the anticipation of finding something that can be of use or something that has been lost and is valuable when returned to its rightful owner. There are the numerous mobile phones picked up off the road; this can result in a humorous story when you

find the owner and get it back to them. The phones have nearly all been left on the roof of a car and have made quite a distance before sliding off onto the road. The occasional wallet, credit card or driver’s licence can be found at roundabouts or sharp-cornered intersections. Tools are a favourite discovery and, where possible, they are taken to nearby garages where a motor mechanic has been working on a car, taken it for a test drive and lost some valuable item from their tool chest. Also to be found are builder’s hammers, squares and spirit levels, tin snips, spanners, pliers, screwdrivers and wrenches just to mention a few. Many things are passed by and not picked up, but one pick up is the joy in sharing the freedom of cycling and countryside with a cycling mate: “Happy 70th Birthday Kevin!” Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

Back-to-back a chance By BEN CAMERON

S T R AT H D A L E - M A R I S TIANS BDCA premiership hero Ben DeAraugo is confident his team can go back to back this year, despite the loss of two premiership players. All rounder Craig Howard has taken up a part-time Spin Coach role with the South Australian Redbacks, while opening bat Tyson Findlay is also unavailable due to work commitments. Howard took 15 wickets at 14, while Findlay averaged 24 with the blade last season. “Hopefully these guys will play a role for us at some stage during the season though,” said DeAruago, who rescued his team from 6/68 in making 86 not out, then claimed 3/30 with the ball as the Maristians beat Bendigo United in the grand final. “Our goal this season is to be competing in finals

again. “We had eight or nine of our First XI squad playing footy finals up until the last couple of weeks. “This has affected our preparation slightly, but we’ve had plenty of numbers attending training and hopefully we’re all set for Round One.” Maristians have become accustomed to success in recent years, having played in the past three grand finals, and won the past two twenty20 titles. “We have achieved this with a young group of players so hopefully our success can continue as we all grow a bit older and more experienced,” DeAraugo said.

“We’re lucky enough to have plenty of older teenagers coming through the ranks, like Andrew Chalkley, Brenton Conforti, Joel Wharton, Zac Poole, Jaran McKay, Dylan Bailie and James Smith. “They’re are all extremely talented players who are ready to make the next step up.” Another handy addition will be Cam Taylor, brother of Dom, who has returned from Sweden, a former Richmond First XI player, who will also be a fielding coach. “His inclusion is a huge bonus for us,” DeAraugo said. The reigning premiers take on Golden Square this Saturday at Wade Reserve. In other matches, Bendigo United take on last year’s semi finalists Sandhurst, Huntly/North Bendigo play White Hills, Kangaroo Flat take on Strathfieldsaye and Bendigo play Eaglehawk.

Uniform approach to netball outfits THE teams are selected, the new dresses have been given out, one more stint of training and it’s off to Melbourne this weekend for the 2011 North Central Region Netball teams. The 2011 V/line State titles at the State Netball and Hockey Centre begin tomorrow with two days of matches against the best regional teams across the state. North Central Regional liaison officer Nadine Holland was excited with the first-ever North Central Netball Region Dress Presentation Night last Wednesday. “It was a great chance to recognise the commitment the players, coaches, managers and umpires have made in representing the region as well as an uplifting event to send them off to the V/line State Titles,” she said. “It was wonderful to not only see so many parents and supporters of the players, but also many past regional liai-

son officers, region legends and dedicated committee members in attendance.” Another highlight for the 2011 teams was the unveiling of the new uniforms, and new warm-up shirts. “It is wonderful to have the girls in modern uniforms,” Ms Holland said. “The teams have had some great practice matches with our 15 and Under offering some additional practice this week at the Australian Catholic Netball championships in Shepparton. “The Open and 17s have held successful practice matches getting all players on court to show they want the opportunity to shine in Melbourne.” Open coach Jannelle Hobbs was impressed with the commitment of the teams. “We have players representing BFNL, the LVNA and the HDNA which is a fabulous cross-section,” she said. “ I can’t wait for this weekend to begin.”

HIGH MARK: The Bendigo Football Club is aiming high.

By BEN CAMERON

THE fledgling Bendigo Football Club will need a large influx of resources from outside the region to be a success, Bendigo Football Netball League chief executive officer Steven Oliver said. “Everybody in this region is under-resourced, that goes for leagues and clubs,” he said. “It’s a bloody hard job to get these teams up and running. To have a stand-alone side in a VFL competition is going to take enormous resources and a lot of money, time and infrastructure. “Some of which we don’t have in Bendigo. “There’s a lot of challenges still in front of them. “As soon as you get over

that honeymoon period then it’s really hard work. “It’s going to be a pretty long road in front of them.” He used the example of the Gold Coast Suns, and the local example of Strathfieldsaye

“It’s going to be a pretty long road in front of them” Football Club, of how hard it is to build a club from the ground up with a young, developing list playing against established clubs. “That was the model with the Diggers and it wasn’t successful,” he said. “We would hope they would be looking at a slightly

competitive.” He also hoped for improved communication between the BFNL and the Bendigo Bombers next year, and the future BFC. “I hope the two boards get together and have some discussion about it,” he said. “They are separate entities,

but there needs to be more communication.” While Oliver said there were many bridges to cross before the BFC began to seriously take shape – it needs a VFL licence to begin with – many factors needed to be considered. “Where are they going to get their players from?” he said. “Will it be local content and how will it affect the Bendigo clubs if that’s where they’re looking to recruit from? “Are they capable of standing up at that level? “One of the keys is that the relationship between the TAC Cup and the VFL is strong.” He said one of the big upsides of a successful BFC would be local players getting an opportunity to be noticed by AFL scouts.

Kristi stays put Harrower plays down on-court rift

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO Spirit coach Bernie Harrower has played down any rift on the Bendigo WNBL team’s coaching panel in the fallout from this week’s battle to sign his daughter and star player Kristi. Last Friday, www.bendigoweekly.com.au revealed Harrower was in doubt to play for the Spirit this season, a week out from the club’s first game of the year. Negotiations between Harrower and the Spirit’s board for the coming season broke down after the board offered her a one-year deal to continue in her role as Spirit general manager. Harrower said she was keen to sign on in the administration role for longer, to help her with life after basketball. She threatened not to sign a playing contract unless a deal was reached, and her father also threatened to walk. Yesterday, www.bendigoweekly.com.au revealed Harrower had signed a oneseason playing contract, and would go back to the negotiation table about the GM role. Jeremi Moule is the Spirit’s chairman, and he is also assistant coach of the Spirit.

Bernie Harrower said he was unhappy with how the board, led by Moule, behaved, but did not think it would carry onto the court. “I don’t agree with what the board has done and I am disappointed in it,” he said. “I’d like to think it wouldn’t have an effect, even

I don’t agree with what the board has done though blood is thicker than water. “It is one of those situations that is difficult for him. “I have always had a very good relationship with Jeremi and I value the work he has done for me. “It is unfortunate he has to wear two hats.” Harrower said he was unhappy with how the board had treated his daughter. “I am not sure the board realised the ramifications of what they did. “If that is the case I am hopeful something will be done to rectify things.

“At the end of the day I’ve got no complaints as far as Jeremi is concerned on the court.” Kristi Harrower was happy to be back in the playing squad. “On the playing side of things I have decided I’ll play for the Spirit,” she said. “I owe it to our fans and supporters and sponsors.” However, Harrower said negotiations were continuing around the general manager contract. “I won’t be signing a general manager contract until more negotiations happen,” she said. Harrower’s playing contract is for one season only. “I’m not sure what I’ll be doing at the end of the season,” she said. “I would rather a oneyear playing deal.” Mr Moule was unavailable for comment. Amid the controversy, the Spirit announced the resigning of three of last year’s players. Inaugural Spirit members Jaclyn Smith and Andrea Wilson return for their fifth seasons with the team while Ashleigh Stonehouse joins the side for her second season after making her WNBL debut last year.
