History is everywhere, including in the amazing cellar, a large stable complex and a one-of-a-kind garden cottage next to the magnificent three-tier bronze fountain. But it’s not all Georgian style. An impressive fully-tiled heated pool is nestled in between the elm trees, with an accompanying pavilion and nearby cottage. There is also a substantial dam and a pond on the property.

Bendigo’s property market has continued to steam ahead, reaching its highest ever median price. Real Estate Institute of Victoria figures show the city’s median value hit $320,000 for the first time, in the December, 2013 quarter. That was a jump from $305,000, or five per cent, in one year. The December median figure rose 1.6 per cent for the quarter, the largest jump in regional Victoria. Geelong’s median price jumped 1.4 per cent for the quarter, with Ballarat’s rising only 0.9 per cent. Leading the way in Bendigo in 2013 was Quarry Hill, whose median price jumped 26.1 per cent. Heathcote (18.5), Huntly (17.7) and Kennington (13.6) were the other markets that grew by more than 10 per cent over the year.

Enzo Raimondo praised the regional Victorian market, which saw an overall median price rise of 2.6 per cent for the quarter. “It shows that Victorian buyers have been responding to the record low interest rates, driving ongoing increases in house prices,� he said.

Bid for autism centre

By CHRISTINE McGINN

“Autism is not a deficit. We want to break down the barriers.” The BARC aims to provide families and people on the Autism Spectrum with information to better understand the condition. The centre would also house indoor and outdoor sensory gardens, art and music therapy room, meeting room and reception area. “Each individual can achieve a meaningful, independent and safe life to the greatest extent possible through access to appropriate public and community services, individual supports and learning programs,” the BARC vision states. Through tailored education, Mrs Kelly said the centre would provide an “opt in, opt

MORE than 150 local parents are backing a proposed autism resource centre to assist their children living with the disorder. The Bendigo Autism Resource Centre is expected to cost $55,000 for the first year with funding desperately needed. Local autism advocate Rebecca Kelly is leading the cause to ensure better education and resources are available for children and parents. “This centre is about having a place for children and parents to call home,” she said. “It’s about teaching parents things not in the manual, only learnt through life experience.

out” education for students. “Parents and children have the choice. If they want to spend two days at mainstream school and three days here, they can, it’s up to them,” Mrs Kelly. “If students want to attend mainstream school [full time] we can hold their place for six months while they transition. “A child who spends full time at school but needs to hone their passion and skills could have a tutor here.” The Bendigo Autism Resource Centre would connect caregivers, educators, students and medical specialists to positively develop autistic people. La Trobe University and The Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre would also

implement an outreach program for medical graduate students. The centre would run from a church on Violet Street, Golden Square. The facebook Bendigo Autism Support Group’s parents are lobbying the government and community groups to support better education and resources for local autistic people. Bendigo Community Health Services, Autism Spectrum Australia, Amaze and the Federal Member for Bendigo, Lisa Chesters, have already pledged their support for the proposed centre. Mrs Kelly said she has her “fighting pants on” and won’t stop until the services and specialised education is in action.

MINE MATTERS: Peter Cox and Nicholas Kotsiras yesterday.

Minister visits after sacking By ANTHONY RADFORD and CHRISTINE McGINN

ENERGY and Resources Minister Nicholas Kotsiras and Greater Bendigo councillor Peter Cox met late yesterday over the mine sacking affair, The Bendigo Weekly revealed online on Tuesday Cr Cox was stood down as chairman of Unity Mining’s Kangaroo Flat Mine Environmental Review Committee, he said by the Department of State Development Business and Innovation at the behest of the company. Cr Cox said he was terminated from the position after speaking and voting against, at council, the construction of evaporation ponds at the Costerfield Mine, not owned by Unity. Mr Kotsiras was not told of the sacking and said he was “annoyed” at the decision, seeking an urgent meeting between the parties. The pair met at council’s Lyttleton Terrace offices at 3.30pm. Mr Kotsiras confirmed after the meeting, which lasted half an hour, that he was caught “unaware” by the decision. “While I was aware there were some issues, I was given the understanding there were talks and meetings as a form of mediation to resolve those differences and that was the last information that I personally had received,” he said. Mr Kotsiras and Cr Cox, who had a big smile on his face after the meeting, did not want to divulge too much. “I am also meeting with Unity Mining tomorrow and it is unfair to make any comments until I speak to everyone and follow up with some issues in my department,” Mr Kotsiras said. “I am hoping early next week I will be able to make a formal statement. We have had a very fruitful discussion.” Cr Cox agreed it was a “constructive meeting”. “I can confirm that and I really appreciate the Minister coming up from Geelong to discuss this issue,” Cr Cox said. “I am very appreciative of that and feel confident after talking to all parties something will be worked out.” On Tuesday, Cr Cox was furious. “I spoke publicly at the council meeting against that Costerfield application. “As a consequence Unity Mining is saying I am against all mining projects ad they no longer wanted me as chair.”

GIRTON PREPS: Sabine and Imogen Stewart with Frederick and Imogen McKenzie.

Record intake for Girton Grammar preps ABOUT 800 prep students are packed and ready for their first day of school in Greater Bendigo. Bright-eyed students have been filling classrooms across the city this week, ready to start school. Girton Grammar has recorded its largest prep intake of 52 students across three classes. Girton Grammar Junior

School head Donald Thompson said the school was experiencing steady growth. “There has been a strong intake this year,” he said. “There is a mix of new parents, some who have relocated to Bendigo for first rate school education. “The school’s profile is increasing, there’s been growth in Bendigo and students can start their P to 12 journey at

the same school the whole way through. “We are hoping the growth will continue.” Girton Grammar preps had their first day on Wednesday, taking home a book to start their “love of learning”. St Monica’s Primary School have taken in their capped 50 prep students, ready to work in two classes. Principal Joan Coldwell

said the school has significantly grown. “The combination of the extensive building program and steady growth has helped,” she said. Education Minister Martin Dixon said it was an exciting time. “It’s the start of a new chapter for many and I’m sure right across Victoria there will be plenty of proud parents.”

BLACK SATURDAY – FIVE YEARS ON

Community is prepared

NEXT Friday will mark five years since Bendigo’s greatest natural disaster. One man died and 58 homes were destroyed in the Bendigo Black Saturday fire on February 7, 2009. As the anniversary looms, Bendigo will remember the utter devastation and the heroic acts it inspired. In the coming weeks, the Bendigo Weekly will share the journey and memories of those affected by the fires in the lead-up to the anniversary. By CHRISTINE McGINN

WHILE the front of the fire blazed, Bendigo’s head honcho was feverishly working with emergency services to keep his community informed of the dangers that lay ahead. Greater Bendigo council chief executive officer Craig Niemann was new to the job. Ironically, council had been planning its future direction on February 6 and 7. “We’d been away doing that over Friday night into Saturday morning. We knew it would be a nasty day, extreme temperatures and extreme winds. Travelling back I received a call that some of our brigades had been sent to Redesdale,” he said. “I got to Ironbark, could see smoke and people everywhere and police cars turning up. “I was told to open the Emergency Co-ordination Centre. By the time I got there, people started to arrive.” Mr Niemann said the systems in place enabled the emergency services to smoothly deliver assistance to the

local community. “It was amazing to watch them just co-ordinate things, take their role and start making decisions,” he said. “It was just a really active environment. The really great thing was the formed relationships people had with each other. They knew what each job was and what to do. In that situation, my role is just to support and help out.” But Mr Niemann said there was lack of factual information about the fire being spread. “The biggest challenge was getting information up to date, accurate and timely,” he said. “Information was coming in from all different sources and not knowing exactly what the situation was, how many houses burnt, if there loss of life... That was the biggest challenge.” Mr Niemann said common sense and practicality prevailed among emergency service workers and volunteers. “They just acted to put the fire out. It could have been really [even more] devastating,” he said.

“To all of those who do their job, some of which are volunteers, fantastic. We couldn’t ask for anything else.” Mr Niemann said the community spirit and formed relationships helped to save our “city in a forest” on February 7. “Adversity brings a city together. This won’t be forgotten. We want people to acknowledge this happened

and there was loss of life, people suffered through this time,” he said. “It helps a community grow in character and we have benefitted from that.” Since Black Saturday, the Country Fire Authority, emergency services, state and federal governments are issuing more public warnings. The Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission recommendations have

been instrumental in ensuring the state is prepared for a blaze. Mr Niemann said no one can ever be fully prepared but systems are in place to be “prepared as possible”. “Everybody has a role,” he said. “We all have to take responsibility. Every property owner has a responsibility to clean up as much as possible. “We are better prepared.”

Big guns back RSL funding THE Soldiers Memorial Institute Museum in Pall Mall was a focus of attention this week when Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Michael Ronaldson visited. Senator Ronaldson was inspecting the proposed $3.2m rejuvenation works of the facility. The RSL is in the final stages of the project, though the plans are yet to be endorsed by the Greater Bendigo council. The more modern facilities are in part to attract more people, and ease access for disabled visitors. “There are some 60,000 younger veterans in this country and it is important that we acknowledge and honour their service,” Senator Ronaldson said.

“The Bendigo RSL has done a fantastic job of building a facility which welcomes local veterans, their families, and the wider community. “I am passionate about getting younger veterans active in the veterans community and ensuring we give them the treatment and services they deserve.” The refurbishment will involve the removal of the rear annexe and a new area will be built which will nearly double the display and storage area. Disabled facilities will be increased, including a toilet. “We are going to be taking the building back to original where possible,” museum curator Peter Bull said. – Steve Kendall

Historic home for sale From Page 1 Locals will have the chance to see the homestead for themselves in the coming months, with an open day expected to be scheduled. Mr van Dyk bought the property without seeing it, and has spent the past two decades transforming it from a neglected rundown mess, back to the grandeur of yesteryear. “What makes this house special is its beautiful proportions,” he said. “It is simple architecture, but it is grand.” A walk-through makes that very clear. Simple things like full-length floor-

boards, large windows and masterful brickwork highlight the care and money used when it was built in the 1850s. The property went through a long period of neglect from 1940 to 1960, and subsequent owners renovated slowly, before Mr van Dyk went the extra mile and restored it fully to its former glory. Selling agent Matt Leonard of Tweed Sutherland First National said the property would break the region’s price record. He has been involved with the sale of Fortuna, and Langley Hall, and is currently selling Lansellstowe. “There is no residence in the district that is of higher value than this,” he said. “It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

A golden story

GRAND: Ravenswood Homestead in earlier times.

RAVENSWOOD Homestead sits on what was originally known as the Mount Alexander North Run, which was acquired by Stewart and Robert Gibson in 1848, with Frederick Fenton replacing one brother almost immediately due to ill health. Gold was discovered at nearby Mount Alexander in 1851, but it was the discovery of gold in the northern tip of the run on the same year that changed the region’s history forever. Margaret Kennedy and Julia Farrell, whose husbands worked on the newlynamed Ravenswood Run, discovered gold in a creek at the northern tip of the property, what is now Golden Square. The creek got its name from an employee of Ravenswood Run, whose nickname was Bendigo, after a prized English boxer. The Bendigo gold discovery brought tens of thousands of people from around the world, and Fenton reportedly made money selling provisions to them and agisting their horses. After becoming the sole owner of the run in 1857, he built the first substantial homestead on the property, the one for sale today.

Appeal for aid THE call is out for clothing and goods to help those trying to recover from Typhoon Haiyan. St John of God Hospital chief executive officer Darren Rogers said the hospital wanted to support Fr Jun Jun, who comes from Cebu, a city devastated in the super typhoon late in 2013. “Fr Jun Jun, who was our hospital priest for a time last year and is now at St Liborius, will meet the goods at the docks in the Philippines, and take the boxes to villages outside Cebu personally,� Mr Rogers said. “Most of the aid is being

used in the cities and towns and he is keen to see that the villages don’t miss out.� Departments at the hospital are choosing a donation category, and the collection runs throughout February, with a collection centre set up at the hospital. The public is welcome to donate new goods from any category. Categories for new goods include health and hygiene, education and stationary, towels and blankets, shoes, sandals and thongs, clothing, toys, hand tools, and kitchenware. New goods can be

dropped off in February at the following times: February 8, 10am to 1pm, 11th 4pm to 5pm, 13th 10am to 11am, 18th 4pm to 5pm, 20th 10am to 11am, 22nd 10am to 1pm and 25th 4pm to 5pm. Drive to the hospital to the Chum Street entrance, near the Thistle Street boundary. The boom gate will lift for you. Go past surgical admissions and pathology and look for the signs on the left of the green building. Please do not leave goods outside of the above hours.

THE cameras were flashing and the suits were smiling at a recent media event held at the Bendigo Art Gallery to announce a new partnership between La Trobe University and the Bendigo Art Gallery. The stakeholders were standing in front of the blank canvas of the new La Trobe University Gallery, soon to be filled with the colour and richness of the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition. Of course one of the “suits� is the gallery director, Karen Quinlan – a distinctly female presence. And it is to Ms Quinlan’s credit that the Greater Bendigo council has recognised the pulling power of the arts in the context of a regional city’s development. Following a series of blockbuster exhibitions, the gallery’s new $8.5 million expansion is very much a reflection of the re-

Also describing what the collaboration will look like Ms Quinlan said the gallery wanted to share the experience and expertise of its staff. “We look forward to welcoming students into our new spaces for programs, events and functions,� she said. The new partnership will first be in evidence when students participate in a three day symposium, Artistic Ambitions: Australian Art and the Royal Academy. Based on the Academy exhibition, the conference will precede the exhibition opening.

Doney then and now

A look at the past By Dianne Dempsey

THIS week we continue our “then and now series” based on the photographs of Allan Doney (1900-1987). Readers have had great fun spotting the changes in the streetscapes which were taken by Mr Doney in the 1950s and 60s. They also spotted an error in one of our captions which read Sailors Gully Road instead of Eaglehawk Road (we were just testing to see if you were paying attention). The 50s and 60s was an era when ornate verandas were pulled down in the interest of motorists’ safety – the danger of running into the posts apparently being too great to risk. But while the desire to make way for the new predominated, it was in part due to the work of people like Mr Doney whose appreciation of our Goldrush heritage led to many precious buildings being saved and restored. Once again we would like to acknowledge the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) for their permission to use the Doney images. The contemporary images were taken by our photographer, Andrew Perryman.

New nurses start out THERE are health professionals aplenty in town this week as 40 newly registered nurses kicked off their careers at Bendigo Health. The 12 month graduate nurse program is designed to support nurses who have just completed their nursing studies to make the transition into the health services industry. Bendigo Health’s executive director of nursing, Peter Faulkner said it’s always a new and exciting time for the graduates. “This is an exciting year for all our graduates as they make the transition from student to health professional,” he said. “This represents a key milestone in their careers and Bendigo Health is delighted to have continued funding support from the state government to provide this crucial professional stepping stone on what we hope is a long and fruitful professional journey. “The program we offer is popular amongst graduates who receive exposure to a number of different clinical areas, as each graduate spends four months in a clinical area before moving to the next.” This year, graduate nurses have come to Bendigo Health from universities across Victoria, with the majority of applicants from La Trobe University, Bendigo. “Over the past five years, Bendigo Health has retained more than 80 per cent of its graduate nurses, raising the professional development of the nursing workforce at the organisation,” Mr Faulkner said. The nurse graduates will complete orientation this week and visit their first rotation department ahead of their official start day on Monday.

Book a time to visit By CHRISTINE McGINN

MORE than half a million visitors are expected to visit Bendigo’s newest multi-million dollar library. The new generation Bendigo Library opened to the public on Tuesday and will make its official opening on February 8. The $9.5 million state of the art facility will house a children’s zone, a lounge, a cafe, digitally equipped spaces, meeting rooms and community spaces. Greater Bendigo mayor Barry Lyons said the library is set to become the city’s most visited public facility. “The new generation Bendigo library is an excellent example of how the council is delivering high quality and modern infrastructure and services for our community,” he said. “Work on the project has been completed on time, which is a credit to everyone involved, including the construction contractors, many of whom have been working very long days for a number of months.” Project director Marg Allan said the facility was built for people of all ages to use.

Goldfields Library Corporation, Hugh DT Williamson Foundation, Bendigo Volunteer Resource Centre, philanthropic donations and council have funded the project.

The community launch will run from 10am to 2pm on February 8 at the Hargreaves Street library with entertainment and activities planned for all ages.

Let the mosque be built, if they insist Michelle Goldsmith is the one who is ignorant when she rejects any criticism of the Muslim religion (Bendigo’s fringe lunatics, 24/1). The fact is that Islam is not merely a religion. It’s a political movement which oppresses women and rejects our democratic and secular form of government. There are unquestionably many “extremist Christian far-right political parties and independents”. But none can match the extremism and violence of Muslim terrorists. The Koran states that non-believers should be beheaded. I don’t recall any Christian group or political independent calling for the beheading of those who do not accept their beliefs. Let the mosque be built. However, I publicly reject the politics of Islam and question the knowledge and integrity of anyone who would not defend our hard won, democratic way of life. Stephen Mooney, Golden Square

We are humbled It is a significant honour to be named the Bendigo Citizen of the Year, and I have no doubt that our Young Citizen of the Year, Skye Kinder, feels the same way as I do. When I read the list of citizens who have received this accolade since the first one in 1995, I am humbled to be permitted to join them. While this Letter to the Editor has been written by both of us, we will comment separately on the celebratory functions we attended. My day (Gordon) started at Maiden Gully, for a ceremony organised by the Lions Club of Maiden Gully/Marong, with the City of Greater Bendigo Band. I then went to Eaglehawk, for a celebration

under the auspices of the Eaglehawk Australia Day committee, in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Eaglehawk and the Eaglehawk Citizens Band. Next step was Lake Weeroona, for the official ceremony with mayor Barry Lyons, organised by the Rotary Club of Bendigo Sandhurst. Later in the day I went to Huntly, where the function was run by the Lions Club of Huntly/Epsom, with the Eaglehawk Citizens Band. While Gordon travelled to Maiden Gully and Eaglehawk, I (Skye) started the day at the Kangaroo Flat official ceremony. The Lions Club of Kangaroo Flat welcomed me and warmed me up with a hot breakfast and dancing to some classic Australian songs. I then made my way to the Junortoun CFA, where the Junortoun Community Action Group held their first and very successful Junortoun ceremony. After breakfast I joined Gordon for the Bendigo and Huntly ceremonies, both of which were filled to the brim with community spirit. One of the real highlights of the day was at the Citizenship Ceremony at the Town Hall, at which 73 new Australians took the oath of allegiance. Both mayor Barry and MP Lisa Chesters gave excellent addresses at this function. We extend our thanks, and congratulations, to the Service Clubs, and their volunteer members, for making our day so satisfying and enjoyable. Gordon McKern Citizen of the Year Skye Kinder, Young Citizen of the Year

More on the mosque Much has been written in recent weeks re the building of a mosque in Bendigo, the most pertinent comment by far coming from Monsignor Frank

Marriott. Whilst welcoming the proposed mosque, the Monsignor said “there are places where we are not free to worship, and if we are giving them the freedom to worship, we are entitled to expect the same freedom”. While his words probably went over the heads of most who read them, they most certainly would not have been missed by Muslim migrants or Muslim clergy. In many Islamic controlled countries, the question for the Christian is not “are we free to build a new church”, but rather “if the church we used to attend has not been burned down or desecrated by Muslim mobs, is there anywhere we can worship without constant harassment and loss of life”. While most Western nations, have chosen to ignore the persecution of Christians in Islamic countries, there is a glimmer of hope that these communities Christian have not been completely forgotten. The editorial in The Australian, December 26, pointed to research showing that Christianity is now the most widely persecuted religious group in the world. Speaking in Washington DC on November, 16 the UK’s first Minister for Faith, Baroness Warsi, (a Muslim,) said that the persecution of Christians “has become a global crisis” that requires an international response. She said “In some places, there is real danger that Christianity will become extinct”. Whilst that result would be welcomed in most Muslim countries and by many Muslims in Australia, it would be encouraging to think that at least some who have migrated here, and in future will attend the Bendigo mosque, might reflect on the reason they left their freedom deprived countries and came to our shores.

this bendigo life Airport a must By Cr James Williams

Having read several letters and comments about the Bendigo Airport I would like to make the following comments. The Bendigo Airport was constructed in the early 1980s measuring 1135m x 18m. It has a load capacity of 5.7 tonne and was built by the former Strathfieldsaye Shire to accommodate a city of around 60,000 people. That is 35 years ago The point I am making is it is a very different city and world we live in today. Greater Bendigo has 106,000 people now and the region is significantly bigger. Planes and helicopters fight fires and provide excellent, efficient and quick responses. They can better access remote areas and are an invaluable resource. We are building a regional hospital of a scale and resource that will service not just Bendigo but Northern Victoria and a fair piece of the rest of region, including southern NSW. Air ambulance planes, not just helicopters land regularly and transfer patients to and from our city.

We also have a large and diverse manufacturing sector. Intensive animal industries employ in excess of 3000 people. Our light and heavy manufacturing industries are also substantial employers: Hofmanns Engineering, Thales, McCulloch’s, Andy’s Earthmovers, Keech Australia etc. We also have service industries such as Bendigo Bank, State Trustees, Bendigo Health and St John of God. The list goes on. Again the point is Bendigo has grown substantially in all areas. Back in the early 1980s Bendigo Bank was a local bank, not the national bank it is today. Hazledene’s was a local operation and Andy Hoare was a local earthmover. Not anymore. They and many other companies have grown with the city and we now need to make sure we upgrade our services and infrastructure to enable them to expand and stay in Bendigo. The Bendigo Airport is just one part of that but it is a part that is both outdated and inadequate to meet future demands and in need of a serious upgrade. What we are striving to achieve at the council is an upgrade of the runway to 1600m x

30m with a weight bearing capacity to accommodate planes of a nature that can utilise our airport. This will enable us to both better connect to the rest of Australia and indirectly to the rest of the world. We are building the extended runway to accommodate and provide opportunities for jobs growth, not just for current users and one example is the many fly in, fly out opportunities for the mining industries as required by Andy’s Earthmovers. There are many others and some involve freight and better connectivity to the rest of Australia. Proximity to Melbourne is not an issue and may in fact prove an advantage in the future with people to the north travelling to Bendigo to fly elsewhere because of reduced costs and better access. As with the railways, the train travels both ways and if we are to grow jobs and opportunities in Bendigo this upgrade needs to happen. To make it happen properly we require $5 million in matching funding from the Federal Government to match our $5 million and the Victorian Government’s terrific commitment of $5 million.

editorial

Minister must act THE controversy surrounding Cr Peter Cox’s sacking as Unity Mining’s Kangaroo Flat Mine Environmental Review Committee chairman is concerning on a number of fronts. The Bendigo Weekly broke the story online on Tuesday afternoon that Cr Cox had been sacked as committee chairman before its regular meeting earlier in the day. Cr Cox said his sacking came on the recommendation of Unity Mining to the Victorian Government’s Department of State Development Business and Innovation. He said his removal came about because as a councillor, he spoke and voted against the expansion of a mine at Costerfield, a mine not owned by Unity Mining. It is important to note that despite being asked, neither Unity Mining, the department or the government have denied these claims. If what Cr Cox says is true, there are problems here that won’t go away unless Energy and Resources Minister Nicholas Kotsiras acts. Mr Kotsiras thought the Cr Cox concerns had been sorted and was

NEWS • 15

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

not told the sacking would happen. That the department acted, seemingly against the wishes of the Minister, but also at the behest solely of Unity Mining, is concerning. The committee is made up of State Government department officials from all areas, including the DHS, Parks Victoria, the EPA and Environment and Primary Industries, which has two representatives. It also includes a council staffer, Cr Cox and six community representatives. If Cr Cox is right, then Unity Mining, which seems to not have any representative at all on the committee, has told the department, which has maybe five friendlies, to oust him, and it has. Cr Cox believes he has the support of the others around the table, including the other six or seven, or possibly nine if you count Cr Cox and the council staff member. Therefore, Cr Cox is arguing his sacking is not a democratic process, especially if it was never put to a vote of the committee, a vote,

it seems, Cr Cox would win. He is right. The apparent cosiness of the mining company and the State Government Department of State Development Business and Innovation is a concern here. Also worrying is, as he claims, Cr Cox was sacked for voting on a planning application in council, an application that had nothing at all to do with Unity Mining, or Kangaroo Flat. It was a planning application for Mandalay Resources, at Costerfield, the other side of Heathcote, to build evaporation ponds. This, if true, sets a dangerous precedent. Could we see other companies, governments or organisations placing pressure on other councillors to vote a certain way on an issue, under threat of losing positions? It is a dangerous precedent, a dangerous perception, and Minister Kotsiras should act. Cr Cox needs to be reinstated and those responsible for making the decision, or sanctioning it, should be taken off the ERC.

pk Stamping out change with Peter Kennedy

OVER the holiday season, media reports surfaced of a potential push by Australia Post to charge households more for a service we currently enjoy for free, or to accept a lesser standard of service – namely a three day a week postal delivery. At first I thought it was just another beat up; a news story that rises up above the quagmire at a time of the year when not a lot usually happens and it’s easy for the media to lower the bar in terms of what it offers up as news rather than work a bit harder to find a decent yarn. Now I’m not so sure. I’ve never been a fan of anything that says pay more for what we already give you, but I’m happy to consider paying for an improved or superior level of service. There’s a distinct lack of imagination or creativity in any business simply looking to apply a sledgehammer to its customers – and no matter

which option you eventually accepted it was going to hurt, either through your wallet or via an inferior level of service. Australia Post is now reportedly set to ask the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for approval to increase the basic postage rate from 60 cents to

Tampering with that charter comes with a high degree of risk. The government and Australia Post executives would be far better served by focussing on creating innovative revenue streams and further diversifying the business, rather than simply reducing levels of service prescribed in

I for one would rather pay more a stamp than pay more for a postal delivery 70 cents per letter. All this comes at a time when the federal government is looking for ways to balance the budget and the potential sale of Australia Post looms large. But Australia Post operates under a charter drawn up to protect its customers. There are community service obligations and delivery requirements enshrined in that charter that exist for our benefit and protection.

the charter in order to save money. I for one would rather pay more a stamp than pay more for a postal delivery service I’ve otherwise experienced all my life for free. And I’d rather pay more for a postal stamp, especially if it means keeping Australia Post the way it is, than accept a reduced level of delivery service only because it is still free. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

foodfossickers Local food industry insider with Marika McMahon

T

HE heatwaves are made a tad more bearable for many locals by some fairly constant imbibing from the extensive collection of frozen delights at Favourite Flavours. There was more than a few queries popping up on my Facebook feed, “Does anyone know what time Favourite Flavours is open until tonight?� For a few years now Favourite Flavours in Mitchell Street has been a well known secret for CBD workers struggling to get through hot January and February days. The opening of the second Favourite Flavours shop opposite Lake Weeroona has been a genius move by Steve Virtue and his team making their icy goodness even more accessible for both locals and visitors.

Steve is a great supporter of Food Fossickers, working with many of our local restaurants to have his beautiful home-made gelato included in their desserts. The Favourite Flavours salted caramel gelato is the base of a dessert that is the main motivation for many visits to Masons. My favourite though is the pomegranate frozen yoghurt. I may be kidding myself it is a healthier option, but the tartness of the pomegranate combined with the yoghurt is wonderfully refreshing in summer. If you are entertaining this summer, a great option for dessert is to pick up a couple of takeaway tubs from Favourite Flavours and grab some nice cones. Your guests will be super impressed and the only sweat

-ADVERTISEMENT-

you will have raised will be walking to and from the car in Nolan Street. If you want to put a little bit more effort into your dessert, what about an ice cream buffet? There’s plenty of examples of these in Pinterest. You set out pretty bowls, spoons and your Favourite Flavours selection together

with goodies to add to your dish – lollies, marshmallows, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, the list is endless. Other options, particularly for special occasions, are the house made gelati cakes produced at Favourite Flavours. You’ll need to get an order in, but they are spectacular and

a great way of trying lots if different flavours. Or you could try a steadier but concerted approach of working your way through the range, a weekly visit to Favourite Flavours can be a great reward for kids settling back into school.

salmon or snapper is so much more interesting and tasty when you serve it with a salty, crispy skin. Always score the surface of the skin with a sharp knife and pat the skin dry before cooking. Season the fish and put into a moderately hot, non-stick pan skin side down with a little oil. Gently push down on the fish allowing the whole surface of the skin to be flat on the pan. Hold this for about 30

seconds, until the fish stays flat when you take the pressure away. Continue to cook skin side down on a gentle heat for a minute or two. The pan doesn’t need to be smoking hot, fish is delicate and needs to be cooked gently. Place the pan in a moderate oven still skin side down until the fish is almost cooked. Remove from oven, then let the fish rest skin side up to keep the skin crispy and finish cooking while resting.

Q. What is Dorper Lamb? A. Dorper Sheep are a

black faced South African breed of sheep that was created solely for meat purposes. They are hardy and fast growing but also can adapt and survive in harsh or difficult climate and grazing conditions. Dorper meat is very tender and has a strong almost sweet flavour. Thanks to Jody’s family the Willow Room serve our own raised Dorpers from a small farm in Axedale.

Q. What are some ways of using excess tomatoes? A. Now that summer is in

full swing I’m sure lots of people’s tomato plants are full of fruit. Over-ripe tomatoes make a great easy and quick pasta sauce, you don’t need to add much else, just some garlic and fresh basil will do. Make a different summer salad with tomatoes, cucumber and any type of melon. Marinate the fruits in a little olive oil and red wine vinegar, then crumble over a soft goats cheese and fresh mint.

A clue to the puzzle Cluetopia by David Astle Allen & Unwin, $29.99

C

LUETOPIA, David Astle’s celebration of the 100th anniversary of the invention of the crossword, is written in Astle’s engaging and conversational style. Astle explores the crossword’s history from its birth in 1913, when a section editor at the New York World invented the ‘word-cross’ as a “last minute filler” before the paper went to press. He intertwines personal anecdotes, major historical events, and stories from the lives of people who shaped this puzzle and were shaped by it,

such as crossword setter for The Guardian, John Graham. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, he created a puzzle with answers such as ‘chemotherapy’ and ‘palliative care’ to announce, in code, that he was dying. “It seemed the natural thing to do,” he said. The book is broken down into many small chapters, each dedicated to a “landmark crossword” from every year starting from 1913. The start of each chapter provides some context with a small list of the key world events that year, as well as words coined at roughly the same time. 1945 gives us “cold war”, ‘

“teflon” and “snog’”. In the 80s it was “spreadsheet’”, “yuppie’” and “liposuction’”. David Astle is a popular crossword setter for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, so fans may be surprised that there are no actual crosswords included in the book. However, his passion for the puzzle shines through and there is enough detail, intrigue and humour to appeal to any crossword aficionado, logophile or David Astle fans. - Vanessa Hughes

Winners should not be heard

HE big winner of the Victorian Prize for Literature announced last Tuesday was the poet Jennifer Maiden. Her most recent collection, Liquid Nitrogen earned her $100,000, Australia’s richest prize. Maiden, who lives in Penrith, NSW, also won $25,000 for the Victorian Premier’s Award for poetry. While the content of Maiden’s poetry is both exciting and mellifluous, her voice, as heard on the radio, was anything but. While responding to the

exciting news, Maiden sounded like a bit player from Neighbours. She is, you would have to say, a classic example of writers winning prizes because they are very good at writing, not speaking out loud. Castlemaine based author Alex Miller won the fiction prize in the Victorian Premier’s Award for his novel Coal Creek. One imagines his mantle piece is about to crack under the weight of his many gongs. – Dianne Dempsey

EAM Groovin the Moo is in high spirits as it welcomes a new bunch of artists to take part in the Australian festival fun in Bendigo. PR guru “Jonesy” Jones is pushing the barrow with The Presets, Dizzee Rascal (UK), Vance Joy and Wave Racer to The Jezabels, Disclosure (UK), The Kite String Tangle, Violent Soho and Cults (USA) plus many more. “The eclectic line up for 2014 is sure to provide another year of pure solid gold for the GTM community including Bendigo,” she said. “This is 10 years of making the annual overland journey into its much-loved communities that are now considered home. “The simple set up and the honest country hospitality of those original GTM’s is still the life blood that flows through the festival today - the double outdoor stages, the glow of the Moolin Rouge Big Top Tent and the variety of the flavoursome, fresh and local produce on offer.” Jonesy said with a legacy of events which sell out, tickets for GTM 2014 will be on sale for Bendigo at around $100 from 9am local time on Tuesday, February 4. “Continuing with the design theme, don’t forget GTM is calling out to artists, graphic designers, students, professionals and hobbyists to enter the 2014 GTM TEE Competition - round five of the annual search for merch,” Jonesy said. “For this year’s GTM TEE Competition, we are asking participants to develop a GTM community logo or shield that captures the relationship between the event and its unique setting.” Visit the competitions section at www.gtm.net.au for more info.

A question of equality Australia Day or Invasion Day? Whatever we chose let it be the same for all

T

HE Australian of the Year awards gave me hope of better things in equality. AFL player and community leader Adam Goodes was Australian of the Year and Paralympic champion Jacqueline Freney was young Australian of the Year. There was no separate section for Indigenous people or those with disabilities, we were all in it together. I wince when I hear of special services and recognition for Indigenous Australians, purely because it’s segregation based on race. If all were treated equal there would not be a need for special services. There is really no need to treat somebody differently nowadays, because more than 200 years ago there was major injustice. Let’s try to treat everybody on a level playing field. I speak as a migrant to Australia who chose to live here, it’s a great place. My ancestors were invaded by the Vikings and the Saxons

“

and the Normans and the Romans, even the Spanish had a go. My DNA must be as mixed as they can get, much like the people in Australia whose forbears bred with migrants and convicts and others who had chosen, or not, to live in this land. Surely there is a common thread linking most of us to the same ancestors? Is it not time where we consider all people as equal if you are born here, or migrate here, or even if you legally claim asylum here? The extremes of Australia Day brings out the flag wavers and so it should, we have much

to be proud of, but is there a touch of “I’m a real Australian” in there alongside the barbies and the beer? I’m a Pom, so no way in the minority of migrants, but that will not be the case soon. Indians and Chinese have the greatest number of migrants into Victoria. When they are given citizenship will they be seen as equals, or will the “real” Aussies consider them second-class citizens? How long do we have to belong to a place to be considered fair dinkum? That’s why I see the Australian of the Year awards as so much a step in the right direction.

People were chosen for the work they had done to help others and to make Australia a better place to live. Equal, with no choices based on gender, creed or religion. It’s a big ask I know, but we can start to achieve this by removing separate treatment for anyone based on a difference, be it by birth, nationality or ability. twitter: @stevekendall1

dear dotty... Dear Dotty, I am so sick of ringing up large organisations and getting put onto a string of automated voices. For example “If you wish to make an inquiry about your account please press one. If you wish to transfer funds press two. Is there any way we can stop the rot? Gerald Dear Gerald, I am waiting for the day when we ring 000 and get the following. “If you are being stalked, press one. If the stalker is prowling around your house, press two. If he is trying to get into a window, press three. If he is in the house, press four. If he has his hands around your throat, press five and wait for an operator. I think the only way we can counteract the prevalence of electronic voices is to fight fire with fire. So if you hear a recorded voice wait on the line until, after exhausting all their options, the company puts you onto an operator. When you get to a human voice, say the following, “If you want to answer this call, please press one. If you are sincere about the importance of this call, press two... Dear Dotty, I have read in the papers that there have been some objections to the building of a mosque in Bendigo. There are already some empty churches in Bendigo

for sale, why don’t the Muslim people just take over one of those? Harold Dear Harold, It’s not a bad idea but I think our Islamic friends would prefer to build a mosque according to their own principles. As for the people who object to people following their own faith I think we should encourage them to also build their own church. It could be called something like The Temple of Bogans. It could look like a giant tinnie and be lined with used stubby holders – a great example of recycling. The Temple of Bogans could have a central altar which consists of a huge barbecue before which the congregation could kneel in adoration, displaying a hundred plumbers’ cracks. Twitter@DearDotty

ENDIGO ANIMAL HOSPITAL saw a number of pets that were heat affected after the recent hot weather, and with more hot weather expected they have provided some handy tips for keeping them cool. Make sure that your pets have access to multiple fresh water bowls and plentiful shade where they can rest comfortably. Children’s wading pools and doggy iceblocks (frozen dog food and water) can also make the hot weather more fun for your fur family. Avoid walking your pets in the heat of the day, wait until later in the evening or early morning. Animals that are overweight, have heart disease or are unwell require particular care in warmer weather. If possible let them inside to rest during the hottest part of the day.

Don’t take your pets in the car unless it’s absolutely necessary and never leave them in the car alone. Rabbits, ferrets and guinea pigs have trouble regulating their own body temperature so you definitely need to provide them with ways to keep cool such as putting ice blocks in their cage and a wet towel over the top of the enclosure to create cool air. Consider boarding your pets with family, friends or professional kennels or cattery if you are going away. Symptoms which may indicate your animal is suffering from heat stress include: panting, racing heart, obvious distress, vomiting, diarrhoea and collapse.

Managerial talent to the fore

A

S the sailors converged on the carriages waiting at the side of the Town Hall to take them to the gold mines, most were driven to their destination by some of Bendigo’s best known mining managers. The Bendigo Mine Managers’ Association was, like the rest of the Australian community, swept up by the psychological significance of the visit of the United States’ Great White Fleet. Another of the managers to act as chaperone for the illustrious visitors was John Perry Dunstan. Mr Dunstan had been the manager of the Sea Mine which was located on the rich Garden Gully line of Reef, in the block off Vine Street near the corner of Rowan Street, immediately adjacent to Paddy’s Gully. He was held in very high regard with which he was held by both the directors and miners of the Sea Company and when, in November 1909, he handed in his resignation due to failing health, the company at first did not want to entertain the idea that he would leave at all. They offered to give him leave of absence, but to no avail. Mr Dunstan had taken up the management of the Sea Mine in 1892. During the years he was in charge, he instituted many improvements which made the work of the miners better both in a safety aspect as well as for their health. He worked out a system to improve ventilation in the mine, his concern for the wellbeing of his workers was paramount. Mr Dunstan was born in Corn-

wall in 1848, his family migrated to South Australia in 1854 and he began work in his early teens in the Burra Burra mines alongside his father. As Victoria was such an active mining colony, he decided to come here and work on the mines at Vaughan then later at Castlemaine. Immediately following the mining company boom in 1873, Mr Dunstan came to Bendigo. A very practical man, he involved himself in the Bendigo Miner’s Association, an organisation which promoted the welfare of miners and their employment.

qualifications were required for mine managers, he secured the position at the Sea Mine on the strength of his sober and diligent reputation. Another aspect of Mr Dunstan’s life was his involvement in the Rowan Street Methodist Church, he was a lay preacher and regularly helped to conduct services. He was at the forefront of instigating the very successful Juvenile Industrial Exhibition, an idea

Is this the missing gun? W

HIGHLY REGARDED: John Perry Dunstan. LEFT: A souvenir postcard.

He rose to become the president of the influential BMA. With his improved practical mining skills he was recognised at the Garden Gully United Mine by first becoming a shift boss and later underground manager. In the days before formal

that was copied in a number of other centres. John Perry Dunstan should not be confused with another manager, John Dunstan, who was at the New Argus Mine in Eaglehawk. Mr Wilfred Rickard, general manager of Diamond Hill’s New

heritage matters

Chum Goldfields, had his carriage at the ready once the sailors had come on board. Mr Rickard had come to Bendigo in 1892, and graduated as a mining manager from the Bendigo School of Mines. In 1900 he managed the Victoria Quartz Mine, and earned great respect in the community for his personable and mining skills. Mr Rickard was another of our Cornish managers, he hailed from Helston and was a tin miner there. He went to the USA and at Wisconsin worked in the lead mines, then on to Minnesota where the base metal iron was being exploited.

ITH the centenary of the outbreak of World War I coming up, it might be interesting to explore the connections Bendigo has to the legacy of that titanic conflict. After the war, many captured enemy weapons were brought back to Australia, and distributed to communities all over the country, as mementoes of a conflict for which so many regional communities paid a high price in young lives. Bendigo was lucky in being allocated five artillery pieces, one of which is on display at the RSL in Havilah Road. Two were the 1916 model of the famous 7.7cm Feld-kanone, one of which was given to the Bendigo High School. The whereabouts of the remaining guns are unknown, but the one pictured above sits in a park in Castlemaine. The mystery is that none of these guns were given to Castlemaine. Many of these trophies have been lost and moved – perhaps here we have one of Bendigo’s missing guns? Watch this space. – Peter Thompson

From dream to reality F

ROM the age of three, Kirsten and Lauren Thomas loved to dance. As they grew older, all styles of dancing and performing became their passion – tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, singing and acting. There was never a doubt in their minds that they would one day open their own school to pass on this love of performance and dance to others. Eleven years ago, the Thomas School of Dance was opened and Kirsten and Lauren’s dream began. They have since dedicated themselves to creating a nurturing, inspiring, fun and creative environment in which students both young and old can learn and perfect all styles of dance. At Thomas School of Dance, teachers pride themselves on the fact that all students’ wants and needs are catered for, offering an array of classes for those who want to

dance “just for fun” and also for those wanting to study exams or compete in eisteddfods. Students of Thomas School of Dance achieve regular success at eisteddfods nationally, along with excellent exam results annually. Both teachers and students take pleasure in creating and performing an end of year show at The Capital Theatre. This enriches the students’ love of performance and provides the community with an opportunity to support and observe its up and coming performing artists. Thomas School of Dance operates from two centrally located venues in Bendigo – Gaol Road and Don Street. Enrolments are always welcome throughout the year.

Ice-blocks can be helpful to get your pets through the day if you are not home. Give extra water containers just in case they get knocked over. Going on walks or being put on the back of a Ute in such extreme heat can burn the pads on dogs paws so if you can’t stand bare foot then they probably can’t either.

Saddle up for a bush ride

PATH TO GLORY: The mountain bike club offers a fun time. By JOEL PETERSON

THE Bendigo Mountain Bike Club is kicking off what it hopes to be a big 2014 this weekend, with the third of a series of social rides in bushland around Spring Gully. With the success of events such as the Magellan Bendigo Cycles six hour race and the Golden Triangle Epic, the club is looking to build on its successes this year. While the club has excelled competitively and in producing national champions such as Jack Haig, Peta Mullens and Chris Hamilton, the social aspect of mountain biking is coming to the forefront. The club has run two similar events, and hopes to build on solid showings go-

ing forward, according to MTB Bendigo’s Joel Rockes. “The trails around the Spring Gully area cater for all rider levels regardless of skill or age,” Rockes said. “With the major consultations, feasibility studies, development and planning taking place in the Spring Gully area, this location’s development is the major focus for the club and we are all very excited to see it progress into a fantastic public asset for all to enjoy.” The 15km guided ride starts from Wattle Drive in Spring Gully, opposite the One Tree Hill Hotel at 8.30am on Sunday, February 9. Non-members can buy a $5 social licence on the day.

US legend makes a mark From Page 36 “In the undefeated season of 2010, Nebraska won at Baylor, one of the toughest teams and venues to win against in college basketball. Baylor is 69-2 on their home floor since the 2010 Nebraska game. “Kelsey took four charges in the game. It’s still one of the greatest individual efforts I’ve ever seen. She did whatever she had to do to will her team to win.” Nebraska coach Connie Yori paid tribute to Griffin, and said her accomplishments only tell part of the story. “Kelsey Griffin is one of the greatest players and greatest people in the history of Nebraska women’s basketball,” Yori said. “You look at what she accomplished while she was here both on the court, in the classroom and in the community, then you look at what she has done in the WNBA and overseas, and it is pretty amazing. “Those accomplishments probably only tell people a small part of the story of how tremendous a person Kelsey really is.” As for how Griffin felt about the honour, she was her usual humble self. “Having my jersey retired is such an incredible honour. It means so much to me, it is hard to put into words,” Griffin said. “There have been so many people along

STAR PLAYER: Kelsey Griffin. the way who have helped make this possible, and it means more because of who I was able to accomplish this with. “It’s always good to get the individual honours, but I would never have got to this point without all the people who have helped and supported me along the way.” Griffin will return to Australia ahead of the Spirit’s Saturday night away clash with Sydney Uni.

Backman signs up for Flat KANGAROO Flat Football Club has locked in another recruit ahead of its 150th year, with former East Fremantle backman James Saville committing to the club. Saville played 15 games with the Sharks’ West Australian Football League reserves side last year, averaging 14 disposals and over three marks per contest. The 190cm defender, who played TAC Cup with Calder Cannons before stints with Coburg and Collingwood’s VFL sides, will give the Roos a much needed key position player in its backline. Saville will form a pil-

lar down back for Flat, and will ease the pressure on the talented young duo of Dylan Clohsey and Jack Bowyer. Kangaroo Flat senior coach Jason Stevens said he is thrilled with the signing of the 24 year old who will be on the training track at Beck Legal Oval on Wednesday night. “He adds size, experience and talent to our group and I am really excited to have him join our club,” the first-year coach said. “He is a leader in his own right having captained premiership teams in the VFL development league and I

believe he can help to further develop our young players.” After finishing bottom of the table last year, The Roos are determined to make a finals push in what is a historic year for the club. “James will be relocating to Bendigo which is an added bonus for our club,” Stevens said. “Our off season recruiting has addressed some of the list gaps and we have other players interested in joining our group in the coming weeks. ’’ Kangaroo Flat kicks its season off against Maryborough under lights at Beck Legal Oval on Saturday, April 5.

Bendigo bids for national spot THE Bendigo Amateur Soccer League faces a nervous wait to see whether its bid for a National Premier League Victorian team will be accepted. The NPL competition was created by Football Federation Australia after a report recommended that the second tier competition needed to be established, to create greater consistency across Australia. The NPL was rolled out in most states in 2013, with Victoria and Western Australia to form the competition in 2014. The NPL will also generate additional resources into the community, according to

BASL clubs and local operations manager Brock Rogers. “By having an NPL presence in the region, it will mean an additional three to four paid resources will be made available to grass roots community football,” he said. “The NPL club will also provide great leadership and expertise for grass roots community clubs, in relation to club governance, and club, player and coach development.” A Bendigo NPL club will also provide an opportunity for many of the region’s top players, coaches, referees and administrators to develop

while still remaining within the community. “In the past many of our talented players have had to either travel to Melbourne three to four times a week or relocate to the city in order to further their careers,” Rogers said. “The NPL will involve many of the current Victorian Premier League teams. This means the likes of South Melbourne and Melbourne Knights could be headed to Bendigo in 2014”. Successful NPL applicants will be announced by Football Federation Victoria on February 7.

HEADS UP: An NPL team will lift soccer in the Bendigo region.

WINNER: Jack Haig is shining as a cyclist.

BENDIGO’S Jack Haig added another achievement to his already astounding cycling CV at the weekend, joining the likes of World Road Race champions Cadel Evans and Phillipe Gilbert as a winner of the Best Young Rider classification in the Santos Tour Down Under. Riding in his UCI WorldTour debut in the South Australian stage race, Haig claimed the Cycle Instead Best Young Rider’s white jersey, for the best placed rider aged under 23 in the race. Haig finished 17th in the General Classification riding with the Uni-SA squad, two minutes and nine seconds behind eventual winner and Australian road race champion Simon Gerrans. The former Weeroona College and Bendigo Senior Secondary College student and Australian under-23 mountain bike champion, finished 1:09 clear of his nearest rival, Spaniard Carlos Verona. Having only made the fulltime switch to the road last season – in which he claimed the overall crown in the Subaru Australia National Road Series – Haig said he never expected to challenge for the white jersey during the sixstage race in South Australia. “I definitely didn’t expect to ride the last stage of my first World Tour race with the white jersey on my shoulders,” he said. “I had enough time on Carlos (Verona) to not necessarily worry about it. I had a decent buffer.

“Had I been told one week ago that I’d be sitting in this winners’ room with these people who are among the world’s best cyclists, I wouldn’t have believed it. It’s amazing.” He was not the only local rider to have success at the race however, with fellow promising Bendigonian and World Tour debutant Robbie Hucker finishing one spot behind Haig in an impressive 18th overall, 2:15 behind Gerrans. Hucker and teammate Darren Lapthorne (28th overall) both played critical roles in the Drapac Professional Cycling squad’s

Top four locked in placing tussle THE race for top spot on the Emu Valley Cricket Association ladder is as close as ever, with the top four teams locked together on nine wins heading into round 10 of the 2013/14 season. West Bendigo held on to top spot with an easy win over Spring Gully, dismissing the Crows for 82 in reply to the Redbacks’ 139. Dale Warren was dominant with the ball taking five wickets while Scott Ryan took four, ensuring no Spring Gully batsman made over 20 before the Redbacks went back to the crease to make 7/190. A strong start with the ball led Emu Creek to victory over Mandurang at Pearce Reserve, with the home side only making 257 in reply to Emu Creek’s 8/337. Mandurang were in trouble at 5/52 before Ben Rodda (79 not out) and Mick Healy (84) put on 125 for the sixth wicket, but no other batsman made over 19 as Shane Hamilton (three wickets) cleaned up the tail. Anthony Collins led the wicket takers with 4/74 off 21 overs. Marong followed up a stellar batting per-

formance with a solid bowling display against Axe Creek, dismissing the Cowboys for 167 after making 7/342 on day one of play. Travis Nolan played a lone hand with 78 not out for Axe Creek, with Jamie Morgan (35) and Charles Ready (19) the only other batsmen to make double figures. Duane Anderson took 4/24 for Marong and Jeremy Ross claimed 3/27, to keep the Panthers in second spot on the table. In a stuning game at Evolution Oval Golden Gully beat Maiden Gully outright. Chasing Maiden Gully’s 122, the Cobras posted 142, before bowling Maiden Gully out for 92 in 37.2 overs Peter Moore picked up 6/31 for the Cobras, taking his bowling average for the year to just over 13. Openers Jeremy Rogerson (53) and Rick Johnson (18) made the runs required in less than 12 overs. The win evens up the Cobras’ pre-Christmas outright loss to Spring Gully United opener Andrew Collins continued on from his outstanding Country Week form

against Sedgwick, making 90 to anchor the Tigers innings of 272, in reply to 181. Andrew Gaul fell just short of a half century making 49, while Tim Elliott made 37 to get the innings off to a

good start with Collins. Young gun Zac Poole claimed three wickets along with Dustin Elliott for Sedgwick, who batted again and finished at 3/72 in their second innings at stumps.

third place in the teams classification, behind Gerrans’ Orica GreenEDGE and Cadel Evans’ BMC Racing Team. Horsham’s Mark O’Brien, a training partner of Lapthorne, was riding on the Uni-SA squad with Haig and finished 65th in the 130-strong field that finished the race. Australia’s summer of cycling continues next week with the Jayco Herald Sun Tour, stage two of which will run from Ballarat to Bendigo on Friday, February 7. Bendigo’s world omnium champion and Olympic silver medallist Glenn O’Shea has been

confirmed as a starter, riding with KordaMentha Team Australia alongside the likes of fellow track ace Patrick Shaw. Team director Dave Sanders said they will aim to use the local advantages of O’Shea and Shaw to full effect. “We would be looking at targeting the prologue with a guy like Glenn O’Shea who’s the reigning one kilometre time trial national champion,” he said. “Pat [Shaw] is probably the most experienced rider on the Australian circuit at the moment, he has a wealth of knowledge of these circuits.”

NEW Bendigo Spirit chairman Greg Bickley says it is a “great honour” to be elected to the position. Bickley was elected at Tuesday night’s Spirit board meeting, and says he is looking forward to taking on the new challenge. The former Liberal candidate for the federal seat of Bendigo has been a long time supporter of the club, including donating money when the club faced a battle to pay for the seating necessary to hold last season’s WNBL grand final in March. “I’m very excited by the opportunity, it’s certainly a great honour and I hope I can contribute to and continue the great work of the current and previous boards,” he said. “I’ve had a long involvement in basketball through myself playing, my family playing and supporting our local teams, so I’m really looking forward to it.” Bickley paid tribute to the board members who would not be returning to the club this year, and said that everyone involved in the club had contributed to its recent on and off-court success. “The board and all the people involved with the club have put an enormous amount of work into ensuring it can be prosperous in the future, and we are looking to continue to build on the great support of the Bendigo community,” Bickley said. “The support we have had, especially last year around the finals, was really something that was remarkable. “I know I will never forget seeing thousands of people pouring into the stadium to witness it. “Now we just have to further capitalise on that momentum, and build the club to be prosperous in future years.”

Legend in the US By JOEL PETERSON

INDIVIDUAL accolades are not as important to Bendigo Spirit’s Kelsey Griffin as team success, but on Thursday she was honoured in a way that was different to any trophy or medallion. Griffin made a trip to her alma mater at the University of Nebraska this week, to have her number 23 jersey retired and hung from the rafters at the brand new Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln. After spending five seasons playing for the Huskers, Griffin went down as one of the legends in the program’s history after leading Nebraska to an undefeated regular season in 2010. Griffin’s list of achievements at Nebraska is nothing short of remarkable. She was a first-team AllAmerican and National PlayerOf-The-Year finalist in 2010, earned three first-team All-Big 12 Conference awards, while leading Nebraska to a trio of NCAA Tournament appearances in 2007, 2008 and 2010. Not only was she the face of the Huskers on the court, but she was just as important off it, according to Huskers’ playby-play radio announcer Matt Coatney. “For many years, men’s basketball has been down at Ne-

braska. What Kelsey Griffin did was give fans a star to follow in the winter,” Coatney, who has been the voice of Nebraska Women’s games for 13 years, said this week from Lincoln. “The impact Kelsey had and continues to have is how she carried herself. Hard work, guts, determination, playing through pain, selflessness… All

She’s a winner at whatever she does. She finds a way qualities the people of Nebraska see in themselves.” Griffin has made a massive impression on the Spirit in her time here, including being named grand final MVP in last season’s WNBL decider, something Coatney puts down to what he sees as her one defining characteristic. “Her defining characteristic is being a winner. She’s a winner at whatever she does. She finds a way,” he said. Continued Page 34
