‘Archaic’ law courts ‘dangerous’
vid Somerton has been prosecuting criminals at the Bendigo Law Courts for almost 20 years. In a special column in today’s Bendigo Weekly, Senior Constable Somerton said the courts were suitable for the era they were built – 1896– but not today. “The Bendigo Court does not have a secure way to receive persons in custody,” he said.
“An accused is removed from transportation in full view of the public. “Court Two is the only Magistrates’ Court that can receive persons in custody.” Senior Constable Somerton said his security concerns also went inside the court rooms themselves. “Court Four is a smaller chamber, situated on the Pall Mall side of the
building,” he said. “The witness box is within arm’s length of the prosecutor. Contested cases involving serious assaults have been heard in this room.” Senior Constable Somerton said security issues for police and other corrective service staff extended to the lack of secure facilities. “At this point in time there are no toilet facilities for police who attend
court to perform duty as prosecutors, court security, or merely to attend to give evidence or support victims,” he said. “There is no Prosecutor’s Room set aside for the specific use of police prosecutors on a day-to-day basis. “The Bendigo Magistrates’ Court does not enjoy the same security standards as other metropolitan and regional headquarter courts, such as Geelong and Ballarat.”

Ark sails to 40th BENDIGO’S Noah’s Ark was the jump-off point for not just their 40th birthday but also the launch of a new booklet, “Transforming children’s lives”. “We filled a gap,” service senior manager Val Johnson said at the birthday celebration on Tuesday. “It was so much more than a toy library, providing the first early intervention services . “Instead of a process where you ‘therapise’ the children, it became a process of ensuring families feel confident, so that being part of normal family experiences is the way that children learn.”
Ms Johnson joined with Noah’s Ark regional manager of Loddon Mallee Michele Todderdell to launch the brochure and cut the birthday cake this week. “We used to talk about integration, dump the kid into a situation and walk away,” Ms Johnson said. “Now, as the largest early intervention provider in the state, we are actively developing resources and training programs. “We see the future as moving more out into the community, to spread the word, so these children are not just relying on trained people and their
families but on the whole of the community. “It’s important that the whole community is not afraid of dealing with people with disabilities.” Ms Todderdell said finding new premises in Bendigo is high on the priority list, as the 13 staff have now outgrown the house they lease from the City of Greater Bendigo council. “What’s important for our organisation is parent-to-parent support so we also need more space for a drop-in centre,” she said. – ROSEMARY SORENSEN
Sen Const Somerton said other issues included poor acoustics and a lack of proper wheelchair access, which could hamper justice. “At Bendigo court a person who is restricted in movement does not have the same benefits of access as does an ablebodied person.” The Bendigo Weekly first raised the issue of the poor courts facility in 2006, when it highlighted concerns about security, overcrowding, poor disabled access and a lack of privacy in the main courthouse. Other issues at the time included Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal hearings having to be held in judges’ chambers, the judges themselves mixing with the public before and after decisions were made, and major courts such as the Federal Magistrates’ Court having to sit in surrounding towns because of the unsuitability of the Bendigo building. In May, the Weekly revealed the previous State Government rejected a plan for the redevelopment of Bendigo’s outdated courthouse. The Bendigo Law Association wants a new court built on the site of the former Advertiser building in Pall Mall.

THE focus on the controversy surrounding where to build the new CBD ambulance station has shifted to another site. Former City of Greater Bendigo mayor Daryl McClure lost his battle with the council and State Government over their plans to build the new station on the Uley Street car park. Mr McClure said this week, after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal released its reasons for rejecting his appeal, that another site on Barnard Street was

more suitable, and free. “My understanding is State Government paid $1.25 million to council for Uley Street,” he said. “On top of that, the widening of Uley Street will cost about $100,000. “For the hospital to replace those parks in a new multi-storey car park on the hospital campus, like they said they would, will cost an extra $1.2 million “There is a block of land on Barnard Street, near the intersection of Don Street, that is vacant and free because it is Crown land.” Mr McClure said the
Why pay for this, left, when you can get this, right, for free? land was larger than the Uley Street site. “It is an old mining reserve, and they may argue because of the mine it can’t
be used,” he said. “However, council paid about $23,000 to fix a mine shaft at Victoria Hill recently, so it’s not expensive.
“The Barnard Street land is the right size and the right shape. “You could build a lot of hospital beds for $3 million, and the site is closer to the CBD than Uley Street. “It has a number of traffic routes into the CBD. “Why is it not being done?” A spokesperson for Health Minister David Davis dismissed Mr McClure’s claims. “The Uley Street site was determined the most appropriate site for the fifth ambulance station in the Bendigo region,” she said.
“This site was the only available site to meet all requirements for siting of an ambulance station including size, location, access and costs. “Mr McClure’s claims in relation to car parking are incorrect, the new hospital will include a range of car parking. “The relocation of the Bendigo ambulance station is a critical step in the undertaking of the new hospital and will enhance ambulance services to the Bendigo community as well as facilitate the Bendigo hospital redevelopment.“

Now that’s gold By SALLY THOMPSON
WHAT do a publican, a photographer and bikers have in common? They are all joining forces to raise money for a worthy cause. The Goldmines Hotel, Rick Bentley Photography and the Boundary Riders are holding a family fundraising evening today in support of the Tiffany Murray Foundation, an organisation set up to help 22-year-old Tiffany with the costs of a vital life-saving operation. After going through one bout of surgery to remove a brain tumour, Tiffany now needs more surgery to remove a second, previously considered inoperable, tumour. Sydney brain surgeon Charlie Teo specialises in difficult operations such as Tiffany’s, but the costs are very high, hence the formation of the Foundation. The fundraising evening promises to be a great time for all the family. There will be raffles, lucky door prizes, hamburgers and sausages, photo opportunities and great entertainment. The Goldmines Hotel is in Marong Road, just up from Spotlight. Doors open at 4pm, gold coin donation entry.
Young people invited YOUNG people in Bendigo are invited to join an advisory group set up by City of Greater Bendigo councillor James Reade. “Young people who get involved will reap the rewards,” Cr Reade said. “They will have opportunities to build networks, gain skills and knowledge and a new appreciation for their town.” Up to 20 people aged from 12 to 25 will be chosen to take part. To nominate, join on the yobendigo website or contact the Youth Development team at council on 5434 6092.

Gateway to heaven
HOME: Emily Hamilton with an Enviropod.
Sustainable the way to go GREEN VIEW: Dot and Laurie Cook at Gateway Park.
By ROSEMARY SORENSEN
GATEWAY PARK, once the first point of welcome for visitors coming north to Bendigo, is soon to get a much-needed makeover. And while some of the plans came as a surprise to residents whose properties border on the oddlyshaped pocket of land on the Calder Highway at Kangaroo Flat, even those who look set to lose a little are keen to see the work begin. Laurie and Dot Cook live in Cook’s Cottage, on the park’s north boundary. They bought the land “dirt cheap”, Laurie said,
almost 26 years ago, when the land was sold off by the Marong council. Bit by bit, through a couple of serious health scares in a life crowded with travel and busy schemes, the Cooks cleaned up their corner of the park, mowing, planting, even creating garden beds and, at one time, growing pumpkins. The master plan, which is out for public comment now until the end of this month, indicates an area on the south side of the creek where the park boundary will be “reinstated in areas of encroachment”. While it’s not yet clear
whether this means the Cooks’ plantings will have to go (and Dot says “over my dead body”, with a laugh), the couple said they are ready for their “little piece of paradise” to change – a little. “They have all been really good about it,” Laurie said of the visits from council and clean-up crews to this back-end of the Rotarymanaged park. “We have looked after our bit, and the rest can take care of itself. “What we always wanted to do was to make this part look pretty. “I love it when I come
out and see families enjoying themselves here.” Kangaroo Flat Ward councillor Barry Lyons said he hopes the council will adopt the master plan. “I’d love to see it done over the next three years, but we know it will depend on budgets and the work will be done incrementally,” he said. Project team landscape architect Rosanna Gapella said feedback from residents had confirmed strong community support for the upgrade. “Most people said they would like to see the park stay as it is, in terms of
Offering aid to Egypt’s woe THE terrible scenes coming out of Cairo this week have prompted Bendigo’s small Coptic Christian community to speak out. “We want to send our voice to everyone here to say we are in severe sorrow,” pharmacist George Samaan said. “We need to help our families in Egypt in any way possible.” Mr Samaan said there are about 15 Egyptian families living in Bendigo, most of whom are connected with the St Paul Coptic Orthodox Church. He said the congrega-

to advocate the rights of the Coptic people in Egypt or to speak out against the atrocities and intense persecution the Coptic people in Egypt are facing,” the Bishop said.
Mr Samaan, who came to Australia on a work visa, has family living in Cairo. He said they are safe, but very concerned about the escalating violence against the Coptic community, which is about 15 per cent of the Egyptian population. He said the Bendigo Copts are hoping people in Australia will add their voices to the growing international condemnation of the persecution. “Instead of protecting people, the army is killing people, because they dare to ask for their basic right in life, which is to have a place to worship,” Mr Samaan said.

While Rotary will maintain management of the rotunda, maintenance of most of the park areas will come under council’s responsibility, once the upgrade plan is adopted.

FOR people keen to make their house more energy-efficient, but not quite sure how to go about it, seeing how someone else has done it could be just the thing “The idea is so people interested in renovating or building a sustainable house can learn about the experience from those who have already done it,” Verity Lougoon of Bendigo Sustainability Group says. “It can give you a better idea, not just about things that have worked but also about things that haven’t worked.” BSG is organising a Sustainable House Day on Sunday, October 23, with a number of buildings open for inspection. Ms Lougoon said there will be retro-fitted houses open as well as houses built according to the latest principles, including flat-pack quick-build constructions designed for tourism or for housing in tough conditions. The self-tour day will start at PepperGreen Farm, where Access Employment have installed emergy efficient modular buildings as part of their training facility. The training centre buildings were designed and built by Bendigo-based Eco Villages Worldwide. Ms Lougoon says designers and builders will be on hand for people to consult. Participants will also be able to tour the Enviropod group of houses on High Street at Kangaroo Flat, which is presently up for sale. These modular houses are delivered as flat-packs, and quick to construct, with adaptable floor-plans, designed to reduce both heating and cooling. Highly insulated, they are also solar powered. Still working on the final program for the Sustainable House day, Ms Lougoon says up to six houses will be open from 10.30am to 4pm, with owners and suppliers on hand to answer questions. There’s a $20 sign-on, and organisers are encouraging people to car-share once they have gathered at PepperGreen Farm to register from 9.30am.

KEEP HEALTHY: Daily exercise is crucial.
IS exercise really that important to good health? The short answer is a resounding yes. Research into the benefits of exercise and its effects on a person’s health has definitively shown that it is crucial to assist in the prevention of a range of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. Keeping active becomes more important as we get older to stop muscle-wasting and help prevent osteoporosis. By SAMANTHA FROST

Police pods on agenda
Friday, October 14, 2011 – Bendigo Weekly
By ANTHONY RADFORD
THE State Government will be urged to set up police pods to combat anti-social violence, and use state-ofthe-art technology to detect bushfires, at the Liberal Party State Council meeting in Bendigo this weekend. About 400 politicians and delegates will meet at the All Seasons Quality Resort to discuss a series of motions and hear from guest speakers. Deputy Federal Opposition Leader Julie Bishop will address the delegates tomorrow morning, and Premier

Ted Baillieu will make a speech on Sunday. Local Liberal branches have moved a series of motions that will be discussed and voted on Sunday morning. Among these are calls for the government to introduce the pods, and gain access to the fire detection technology. The police pods would comprise vans that would be set up areas prone to anti-social violence, such as nightclubs, and in Hargreaves Mall, to provide a police presence and rapid response.
“The incidence of antisocial behaviour in regional communities has given those cities a jolt,” the motion reads. “The issues once thought

police pods in visiting schools to promote responsibility and respect.” The delegates will also hear calls for the government to access fire-detection devices, which are currently in Australia but dormant.
“The Firewatch early fire detection technology, using sensors that operate 24 hours a day, was developed in Europe and is now being used to assist in reducing the impact of fires in parts of Asia and the US,” according to the Golden Square Liberal branch. “The technology was trialled in Victoria by the Commonwealth as part of the response following Black Saturday. “However, since the conclusion of those trials, the equipment has sat dormant and not connected to fire monitor-
ing services in Victoria. “(Such) a vital and proven tool in combating fire should be part of Victoria’s efforts for the coming fire season.” The local branches will also put forward a motion calling for the introduction of better wi-fi and mobile services on country trains, and the establishment of quiet carriages on trains. Health Minister David Davis will also hold a policy forum at the council, speaking about the Bendigo hospital redevelopment.
‘Bendigo’ turns 200 THIS week is Bendigo’s 200th birthday. William ‘Abednego’ Thompson, the English prize fighter known as Bendigo, was born on October 18, 1811. The BBC reported this week that a plaque has been placed on the building where Bendigo was born in Nottingham, honouring the famous bareknuckle fighter who only lost one of 20 fights during his career. “Bendigo also has a city named after him in Australia,” the BBC reported. The basis for this claim is, in fact, still in dispute and probably always will be. In Naming Bendigo, the booklet published as part of the first exhibition at Bendigo Art Gallery’s Post Office Gallery, curator Sandra Bruce wrote “Bendigo’s origins are shrouded in mystery”. Ms Bruce documented the “official attempt to find an answer” in 1890 when a committee undertook to find out where the name of the city came from. That committee found evidence of the name dating back to 1840, when it was “so called after an employee on that portion of the Ravenswood station which afterwards became known as the Bendigo Goldfield.” Apparently, an overseer, “a bit of a dab with his fists, and a great admirer of the boxer Bendigo”, named the creek Bendigo, or, as another version has it, there was a man on Mount Alexander Run given the nickname after the famed fighter. That’s now become the most common origin, but Ms Bruce also identified other claims, such as that the word was a corruption of bandicoot, or that it referred to the bends in the river – a place “all bend and go”.

“It would mean no more needles for Caitlin,” Sharna said. “This machine will keep our Caitlin alive and deliver insulin in a more natural way. “As a parent, to watch my daughter go through this every day breaks my heart and if I could take this away from her, I would. “It (the pump) would give us and more so Caitlin a lot more freedom and flexibility in her day-to-day life.” At the moment, Caitlin has to endure two injections and 10 finger pricks a day.
“Emotionally, Caitlin doesn’t deal with the needles real well,” Sharna said. “It’s a daily battle to get her to have her injections, which she knows are very important and we stress to her that this keeps her alive, but, we have learnt that this is Caitlin’s way of having control.” To raise money and awareness for Caitlin and diabetes, Sharna is organising the “Walk to Cure Diabetes” at Albert Park Lake on October 23.

FIVE-year-old Caitlin Crute leads an active life that would put most of us to shame. Mainly because she doesn’t have a choice: like more than 122,000 Australians, Caitlin has Type 1 diabetes. She’s struggled with the symptoms for the past two years: a serious lack of sleep, a constant need for exercise and carbohydrate loading and daily injections, which helps keep her alive. Thankfully, a ride or a walk around the lake is in her family’s daily routine, which maintains her all-important blood glucose levels. Then there’s the extra carbohydrates she has to eat. “Caitlin needs to eat every 2.5 hours to keep her BGL stable,” mum Sharna said. This includes three main meals and three smaller meals, each with a certain amount of carbohydrates, based on her daily insulin intake. The Harry Little Kindergarten pupil doesn’t get much sleep either, having to be woken two or three times on a good night. “When she is sick she is woken a lot more and has very little sleep,” Sharna said. But help is within the family’s grasp, in the shape of a new $8500 insulin pump (which delivers fast-acting insulin 24 hours a day), that would greatly improve her quality of life. The pump is tiny, the size of a small MP3 player, connected through a small tube and cannula in her belly.

Bendigo desperately needs a new courthouse. The current building, while beautiful, is unsuitable and unsafe for modern law. In this instalment of a series looking at all areas of law, Leading Senior Constable DAVID SOMERTON, a police prosecutor, looks at why the current courthouse in unsuitable for criminal law. He paints a picture of “appalling” acoustics, dangerous layouts, no privacy, no facilities and a total lack of security. BENDIGO Court’s foundation stone is dated 1896, 115 years ago. In 1896, powered flight was a dream, the telephone was just over 20 years old, and man landing on the moon and computers as we know them today were stuff of science fiction. When the Bendigo Court was built there were Courts of Summary Jurisdiction, or Petty Sessions as they were then known, in Castlemaine and Kyneton. In 1896 Human Rights and Equal Opportunity and Occupation, Health and Safety had not yet formed part of our lexicon. At Bendigo Court a person who is restricted in movement does not have the same benefits of access as does an able-bodied person. Courts of Petty Session were also operating in Eaglehawk, Elmore, and Rochester. Bendigo was the central regional court. From about the mid 1980s, Eaglehawk, Elmore and Rochester had all closed. Court closures were the subject of an Auditor General’s report in November, 1986. The case load from each was then transferred to Bendigo. The complexity of matters dealt with by Magistrates’ Courts has also increased. More serious charges can now be heard in the Magistrates’ Court and the jurisdictional limit for property-related crimes has also been increased. Other quasi-judicial bodies such as Victorian Civil Administration Tribunal and Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal have been created relatively recently in the context of the life of this court building. All of this means that cases that are heard by magistrates take far longer and

courtroom availability is at a premium when other judicial bodies are required to be accommodated. This can mean that cases are not finalised as early as they might once have been. When I began prosecuting in 1992 there were two magistrates who serviced the region. There are now four. There is only the one entry point to the court which is
noise from trucks and trams impacts on one’s ability to adequately address the court. The witness box is within arm’s length of the prosecutor. Contested cases involving serious assaults have been heard in this room. A public address system has been installed at the court and while this assists in alerting court users to their case being called, there
The Bendigo Court does not have a secure way to receive persons in custody accessed via a ramp to the basement. Courts One and Two are vast and impressive architectural chambers, however the acoustics within each is appalling. Court Three is a smaller chamber where the acoustics are better, however one has to then also compete with passing pedestrian traffic which can sometimes be noisy and off-putting. Court Four is a smaller chamber again, situated on the Pall Mall side of the building. Acoustics is not such an issue here, however traffic
are frequent instances where people do not hear who is being paged. The Bendigo Court does not have a secure way to receive persons in custody. An accused is removed from transportation in full view of the public. Court Two is the only Magistrates’ Court that can receive persons in custody. At this point in time there are no toilet facilities for police who attend court to perform duty as prosecutors, court security, or merely to attend to give evidence or support victims. There is no prosecutor’s
room set aside for the specific use of police prosecutors on a day-to-day basis. The Bendigo Magistrates’ Court does not enjoy the same security standards as other metropolitan and regional headquarter courts, such as Geelong and Ballarat. Apart from the duty solicitor room, there are no facilities at court for a practitioner to speak privately with their client. There are no facilities for police to speak privately with witnesses, legal practitioners, or other police. Police are not the only agency workers who use the court’s services. Department of Human Services, RSPCA, local councils, VicRoads, WorkCover, and Commonwealth DPP all add to the court workload. Civil matters are also dealt with by the court. Family Violence Intervention Order Proceedings have also placed a further burden on court listings. Any decision on a purpose-built facility would need to be made after consultation with all stakeholders, taking into account the needs of each.

Just too lazy In relation to your headline Junk City, (Bendigo Weekly, October 7) I must sadly advise that nothing the City of Greater Bendigo council does will ever change the mindset of an unfortunately large section of our society in relation to waste disposal and recycling. My work requires me to visit all parts of Bendigo and all types of private dwellings across the demographic spectrum of lifestyles and incomes. By and large, most garbage bins are filled with recyclable materials of all descriptions. no specific age or gender applies here; it is simply that people are just too lazy to sort their genuine waste from what can be recycled. They don’t give a hoot, and no amount of educating, advertising, pamphlet drops or cost incentives will ever change them. We are largely, with a number of exceptions, a nation of wasteful sloths who make it a losing battle for those people who genuinely attempt each and every day to reduce waste and recycle household items. Eric Lakey, Bendigo

no external amenities for up to 40 to 50 people in residence in rooms that are no bigger than a pantry in a modern home. People experiencing a time of major life crisis, all crowded into a sub-standard, overcrowded facility in a licensed premises. This is a recipe for disaster. I hope that sound planning principles are adhered to in this matter, whether it be with the Liquor Licensing Commission, Local Government, or the Department of Housing and Community Services. People who are in a crisis time in their lives deserve humane, culturally relevant emergency support services. The people of Eaglehawk are compassionate and will not stand idly by and will challenge at every stage of the planning/approval process, and insist that all departments and statutory bodies with responsibility in this matter will be held accountable. The big danger is that it is an easy out for governments to shirk their responsibilities to care for people in their time of need. Paul Penno, Eaglehawk
Recipe for disaster
Glass half full
THE meeting of Eaglehawk residents was reported in the last edition of the Bendigo Weekly, October 7, and focused on the view of one person. I do not believe these views were shared by all at the meeting. Eaglehawk is a place where people are welcomed not on the basis of their social or economic standing. The major concern expressed is that if this facility is going to be developed then it must be of a suitable standard to meet the needs of those who are affected by homelessness and in a life crisis. My 30-plus years as a mental health professional working in the community in the area of crisis management and community care lead me to make the following comments about the plans submitted to council: I would argue this proposal is a disaster for the potential clients. Twenty-eight rooms stuck in an old building on one of the busiest intersections in the Bendigo area, with no parking,
RE: the article “Residents say no” published in the Bendigo Weekly, October 7. We would like to make the following comments. We are offended and disappointed by the reported comments which were attributed to Mrs Miller. We see a desperate need for low-rental accommodation. Wouldn’t it be better to be placing positive energy into a plan to accommodate people in need, rather than the negative, offensive comments quoted? Our community does not see the relevance of the comments made in reference to the primary school, re: character and behaviour of the children attending, rather, this comment reflects the attitude of a former mayoress of Eaglehawk. And we certainly don’t see the relevance about people congregating in the park. We believe parks are for people, all people, and to say otherwise is ridiculous. We are very proud of our parks. In fact community

members and volunteers of Eaglehawk Community House (people from public housing) contributed many hours of their time in the design and reconstruction of Bright Street Community Park. The comments of Mrs Miller in the article paint a very dim view of people in need, people from public housing. Our local public-housing tenants contribute many positives to the very fabric of Eaglehawk. For example the Eaglehawk Community Cultural festival is in its sixth successive year, and would not occur without their voluntary support. And we remind your readers that our public housing residents were willing to commit their time to protect everyone’s housing in the recent bushfires around Bendigo. Eaglehawk Community House is one of a few community centres in our region and offers a positive environment for everyone. They do not discriminate. They offer programs such as weekly community lunches,
Tai Chi, pottery, digital photography, school holiday activities for primary school students, art and craft for those affected by bushfires to help people reconnect with their community. Please look for the glass half full, not half empty. It is better to promote growth in any community rather than focus on negativity. Denise Wilson, Relma Betts, Glynn Jarrett, Eaglehawk
Take off the blinkers LEADERS of the Bendigo Sustainability Group should take their blinkers off when it comes to meeting the short and medium-term energy needs of Victoria without driving family and business finances to the wall. Their zealous pursuit of renewable sources for all power is laughable and very dangerous for Victoria. As dangerous as unfettered support for a carbon tax that will disadvantage Victorians.
If Karen Corr and others at the head of BSG had their way, Victoria would be left with a few inefficient solar panels and throbbing wind farms to power every home, business and industry. The disruption to the economy and to life in Bendigo and other towns would be horrendous. Everyone has to do their bit to improve the environment, but whacking a carbon tax on everything is not the way to go, particularly when the rest of the world is not travelling that path. It is a shame that BSG continues to be oblivious to the damage a toxic carbon tax will do. Robert Treller, Maiden Gully
Rubbish solutions I nOTE the article called Junk City on the front page of last week’s Bendigo Weekly. Mr Craig niemann expressed his concern at how the smaller bins have failed to reduce the amount of rubbish
being taken to the Eaglehawk tip. Of course it will not reduce the amount of rubbish – you can’t reduce your rubbish by changing the size of your bin. I think an easy way to reduce rubbish would be to get manufacturers to reduce the amount of packaging on goods and food. I think the council is lucky people are actually taking the rubbish to the tip. I have only recently moved into the Bendigo area, but I have seen many other areas where councils try to reduce the amount of rubbish being collected the general result is an increase in illegal rubbish dumping in bush areas. I rent, therefore I cannot choose my bin size, but the small bin we have goes out every week full as I can fill it – bring back the big bins. As for recycling, I think the council should do a weekly pick-up of the recycling bins, that would increase the amount recycled immediately. Phil Brown, Golden Square

In need of care
IF and when the plans to improve Gateway Park at Kangaroo Flat are approved by council, Bendigo will get another good park to add to the list of this beautiful city’s green spaces. Walk through Gateway Park now, and you will find it a little neglected, and very much in need of some tender loving care. You will also see where some very odd decisions were made in the past, with housing encroaching on the long strip of land around the Bendigo Creek. It’s like a jigsaw puzzle with the edge bits missing. Putting time and money into it now will protect the park into the future. City of Greater Bendigo council now has a number of parks and garden projects on the go, and it will be difficult for them to juggle all the different priorities in the next few years. Gateway Park, not yet budgeted, will require a relatively small cost commitment, compared with other major projects such as eaglehawk’s Canterbury Gardens and the Bendigo Botanic Gardens at White hills.

Editorial Comment Craig Niemann has already indicated that the ambitious Master Plan for the Botanic Gardens will take as long as 20 years to achieve and that work will proceed in incremental steps. Just this week it was announced that restoration of the 1905 picnic shelter at the Botanic Gardens has been completed, thanks to an $80,000 grant from heritage Victoria. Further work is scheduled next year. These small tasks, such as reinstating timber bridges and landscaping, improve the gardens, but everyone knows that, sometime soon, there will need to be a big commitment of funds if the much-admired master plan is ever to be completed. Bendigo will soon be a city of change, with upgrades in the city centre transforming an adequate cul-
There were historic scenes of celebration, kisses exchanged and even a protest when the Gillard government’s contentious carbon pricing legislation was approved by the house of representatives this week. Whether or not Australia should put a price on carbon is one of the most divisive issues this nation has encountered in the modern era, and for what it’s worth, I believe it is something not just Australia, but indeed the world, needs to confront and deal with. Doing nothing to try and fix a problem should never be an option and in fact, does not offer a solution at all. It wasn’t an option in 2007 when both major parties took some sort of carbon pricing policy to the election. John howard may have been a late convert to the cause, but the former coalition government and now federal opposition has morphed into just that – opposition. Tony Abbott maintains he will wind back the carbon

Not the best way out, but certainly the easiest. For its part, the government reckons that while electricity prices will rise up to 10
ageing infrastructure and needs to be completed. And now that Australia has made the brave and bold move to take action on pricing carbon, pressure needs to be applied to other nations and economies to do likewise. Ultimately, the success or otherwise of pricing carbon will not be the impact on the cost
“Pressure needs to be applied to other nations and economies to do likewise” per cent because of the new carbon price legislation, the cost of living for Australian families will rise by only about 0.7 per cent. Julia Gillard and her government, and the independents who supported the implementation of this legislation, deserve to be judged on these numbers. It would be easy to attribute the rapidly rising energy prices to the carbon tax, but in essence, much of this is due to a need to replace and upgrade
of living, but the difference it makes to the environment, something that can only be achieved by more nations taking action. Australia’s decision made global headlines, but it should have been a global decision to implement a carbon price, and to this end, the United Nations now needs to flex some muscle. It needs to demonstrate why it is an organisation of Nations supposedly United. pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, October 14, 2011
Asher turns on the heat My head was in the clouds after a brush with my favourite TV star
IT doesn’t happen often, but I was star-struck on Sunday. I have openly ridiculed the fascination some people have with stars of AFL, fawning around them as if they were gods rather than sportsmen, but I think I can understand the feeling now. There I was tucking into my Sunday treat of breakfast eggs in a Kyneton cafe and the long-suffering Mrs Kendall uttered the amazing sentence: “I think Asher Keddie is behind you.” My heart leapt a beat, as I cautiously turned. Then I heard the voice, it was Asher all right. There in all her blonde loveliness. A vision in a beautiful green outfit. Slighter than I imagined, but more stunning in real life. I had that remarkable feeling of butterflies, went hot and had a rush to the head. I was also speechless, a rare thing nowadays let me tell you. I was on safe ground here, Mrs K knows I have a thing about Miss Keddie. She allowed me to look without a thump to pull me back in line. It seems I had been sit-
STEVE KENDALL ON LIFE
ting near to the Asher goddess for a while, but Mrs K had not mentioned it. Probably a good thing, knowledge of close proximity for too long could have been detrimental to my health.
I was also speechless, a rare thing nowadays It was the briefest of passings, I did not utter a word to her, but it was magic. Asher left in a swish of long blonde hair, and my heart retuned to a near-normal beat. Mrs K was wildly amused as I drove off oblivious to where I was going, in a part daze.
“Quite made your day,” she said, as I missed another turning. When I was able to think about it calmly, I was quite interested in the impact. Here was a woman who I had watched for hours in Love My Way, Offspring and Paper Giants but had no idea who she was as a person. How can I be that impressed? Last time I suffered that feeling over an unknown was when I was 16.
Many moons ago. I was clutching an LP record and in line to meet my musical hero of the day, Kate Bush. To my eternal shame I was mostly speechless as I met Miss Bush. She started to sign my album cover only to halt as the pen failed. So, tongue-tied Steve’s only line to Kate was: “The ball’s jammed.” Kate’s reply was just as stunning. “It’s the lacquer.”
There I was clutching my signed album cursing my lack of ability. Ever since I have put it down to my tender years, but I reckon if I had been forced into conversation with goddess Asher I would have been stumbling verbally in a similar way. Thirty-four years on and still nervous around women. But Asher is in a starzone all of her own. On Sunday night I went to bed, and I dreamt of Ash-
er. Now, it sounds like a movie plotline but it’s true. For some reason she was sitting in my mum’s lounge room and someone was interviewing her. I hunted out my notepad, pushed in and sat down next to her. I asked if I could have a word. But she’d just finished an interview and didn’t want to do any more. Never, mind I was just happy to look... and dream.

ANGUS MACKAY, the MLA representing Bendigo in the Victorian parliament, was re-nominated for the position that he had held back in March 1871. Mackay had some very advanced ideas for his time, particularly in regard to the need to make education for the young of the colony compulsory. His vision was that through education, society could become more equitable and people could rise beyond what otherwise would have been an almost designated station of their lives. The effect of the Mackay-sponsored Education Act, was to see the construction of State Schools across Victoria to cope with the enormous increase in enrolments that took place once the Act had come into operation. Irishtown, which had been previously served by two fee-paying denominational schools, was to also become the home of one of the newly created State Schools. When established, it was to be called the New State School Irishtown number 325, later known as the North Sandhurst State School.
WITH
JAMES LERK Back to the nomination form of Angus Mackay, there were five days between the nomination being made and it being finally lodged with the relevant electoral officer. The length of time was used to obtain the 17 signatures of registered electors who were in support of Mackayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination.
Angus Mackayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision was that through education, society could become more equitable. To me the names on the form are of interest as the electors who have endorsed the nomination are a very broad representation of Bendigo society at that time. The names transposed are: RB Sibley, James Carmichael, TJ Connelly, John Fisher, WP Simpson, WP Neale, John Stephenson, William Powell, Henry Smith, James Samuel, D Macdougall, George Joseph, William
ENDORSEMENT: The nomination of Angus Mackay was supported by an impressive group of locals. Hosking, Albert Edward Berkeley Casey, William C Vahland, Charles Schlemm and Ch Daley. To those readers familiar with Bendigo, there are some very well known names listed, rep-
resenting a diversity of viewpoints, religion, and ethnicity, giving us a true indication of the wide respect that Mackay had engendered within the community. As all aspiring poli-

FOODfossickers ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S open garden season, your chance to snoop about for ideas. The first open garden of the season is a fundraiser for a week-long festival schedule for the end of April next year. The Bendigo and District Branch of the National Trust has secured funding from City of Greater Bendigo Council for Heritage Awards, which they are aiming to announce at the inaugural heritage festival in the last week of April next year. Branch president Gary Hill says the festival wants to put the whole city on display.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bendigo is a good example of a place where the whole city is a museum,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hill says â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the dominant features of its heritage is the industrial landscape, as well as the cultural landscape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories, so if someone feels they have a collection of documents and photographs to do with their family history and they want an opportunity to show them, then this will be an opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Mr Hill wants businesses and organisations to get behind the festival too.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can open their doors and display their artefacts, holding exhibitions and displays,â&#x20AC;? he says. The National Trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first fund-raiser for their new festival will be Sunday October 23, from 101m to 4pm, at Hardhill House, 57 Green Street, California Gully. Mr Hill is hoping people who are interested will come along ($3 entry) to enjoy the garden and find out more about the proposed festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about people contributing what they know and what they can put on display.â&#x20AC;?
BOOKclub Sarah Thornhill
Kate Grenville, Text, $39.95 KATE GRENVILLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Sarah Thornhill picks up the story of The Secret River family who settle on the banks of the Hawkesbury River with vision to prosper and make themselves respectable. But, as readers of The Secret River know, along the way these settlers did things they would later regret, and in Sarah Thornhill, the secrets of the past rise up to cast, as Grenville writes, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;long chill shadowâ&#x20AC;?.

Grenville has taken her own family history as inspiration for her novels. Her forebear Solomon Wiseman was transported to Sydney in 1806 like Thornhill in her books. After The Secret River was published, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;distant relativeâ&#x20AC;? got in touch and said a family anecdote had it that Wisemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter â&#x20AC;&#x153;fell pregnant to the gardener and diedâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This felt like a nudge in the ribs from the cosmos, so I went back to the archives,â&#x20AC;? Grenville says. The result is this swiftbers will go in the draw for our BW Bookclub Box of Books, which includes the latest thrillers, a couple of true-life stories, romance, humour and everything in between.

ly-moving, surprising novel, which reads like a mystery story, but also fills in deftly parts of our colonial history. Grenville took more than 20 drafts to get the plot right on this one, but all that hard work hardly shows. The people are real, and places come alive.

THE good people at Erindale Farm would like it known that, chemical free they may be, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t claim organic status. Our report about the Community Farmers Markets referred to Erindaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organic beef, while in fact their Black Angus Beef is fed in pastures treated with 95 per cent natural fertilisers and they use â&#x20AC;&#x153;no antibiotics, steroids or growth promotantsâ&#x20AC;?.

EATER OF THE SKY LIOR: EASY AS 3-2-1 BEN CAMERON A young Bendigo band is starting to eat up the competition.
Declan Hain, Nick Reid and Sam Butcher
KYLE HEASLIP
Midway through his two-month By Request tour of Australia,ARIA nominated artist Lior takes the time to chat with b.entertained on all things music.
KYLE: 2005 saw you burst onto the music scene with your debut album Autumn Flow. Recorded and released independently, it would go on to become one of the most successful independent debuts in Australian history. What were your expectations of how well the record would be received at the time? LIOR: I honestly didn’t have any expectations. I produced the album independently, selffunded it and I just handed it to Triple J. I really didn’t expect anything and they were actually the ones that chose which songs to play and then just fed off the public reaction after that. It was organic in the way that it grew and I was just blown away by its success (winning three ARIA nominations) and I had to pinch myself. It was a beautiful journey and continued to grow in a very organic and real way. I’ve never been involved with a record label and have always done my albums independently so I feel like I have a really direct connection
with my audience, and I just really like keeping it that way. KYLE: Your second album Corner Of An Endless Road was also a huge success, debuting at #2 on the ARIA charts. How did the creative process differ for the second album given your experience after Autumn Flow, and also the added weight of fan expectation? LIOR: Yeah, it’s really hard to escape that pressure. When I was making my first album I wasn’t really expecting anything. So I tried to really challenge myself and make an ambitious album, one that was not guided by what people were expecting. With Endless Road I worked with an orchestra as opposed to Autumn Flow which was produced with quite modest means. Endless Road was also a bit more of a darker album with its subject matter and being influenced by things that were going on in my life. You can only deal with what is inspiring you at the time and not get hijacked with what people are expecting. At the end of the day, the art itself is what is left and you’ve got to be happy with that. KYLE: The end of 2010 and beginning of 2011 saw the release of your criticallyacclaimed third album Tumbling Into The Dawn and the start of your By Request Tour. What influenced your decision to embark on a tour where the set list for each performance is controlled by the fans in attendance? LIOR: It was probably a
combination of reasons really. It’s been six years since my first album came out and I’ve done three albums in that time. I’ve always felt that my audience is pretty loyal and I thought it would be cool to do something that says thankyou and gets them a bit more involved. So I put the word out there to my fans to write to me and let me know which songs they want to hear. It’s been great because each show is different, as is each set list, and it just gives me the challenge and enjoyment of putting on a show that is interactive. It’s been great fun, and a great way of mixing things up and connecting with the audience KYLE: You also include the option of a cover song to be chosen at each performance on the tour. What song have you most enjoyed covering the most so far? LIOR: It’s been funny actually. I’ve had a lot of fun giving Bon Jovi and Alice Cooper a crack. There have been some songs that I’ve really enjoyed doing. What I like about the cover song option is that you get some songs that are fun and challenging, and others that are just a lot of fun; I think that diversity has been the key for me. Trying to mix it up and make it as entertaining and different as possible. For the full story go to www.bendigoweekly.com.au Lior plays The Palais Hepburn Springs Saturday, October 15.

AT a battle of the bands event at Musicland in Fawker, Melbourne, last weekend, Eater of the Sky took out first place, earning themselves a place in the semis. “We came first in that heat by a fair amount of votes,” Eater’s Declan Hain says. “We also received some great feedback from the judges as well as the other bands that played. “We have actually had a hard time trying to define our sound to people... all of our songs are very diverse in terms of feel and genre. “Our music has a lot of emphasis on dynamic rhythms and
grooves, with a heavy metal and melodic rock twist.” Eater of the Sky began as Igloo in 2008 after guitarist Sam Butcher and Hain started looking for a drummer to jam and write with; through a Music Industry course, they found Nick Reid. “We started jamming and writing original material from the get go,” Hain says. “We went through two vocalists through the years, but none were as committed to the band as the original line-up. “So early this year we decided to just take on the role of vocals ourselves, this led to the change of name and music
style.” The band have gradually become semi-regulars at the Newmarket Hotel, and a following is building. “Whilst it may be small, we believe we are starting to gain momentum,” Hain says. “The general atmosphere of the Newmarket is just great. “We have met so many great people and musicians through playing there. “The bands that we have played with such as Armed Korean and El Montez have been great supporters of us.” Eater of the Sky play the Newmarket Hotel with El Montez and We, The Dreams on October 21.
To benefit the Kimberley IF you love music and want to do your bit in helping preserve our beautiful Australian landscape, head along to the Golden Vine next Saturday for “A Benefit for the Kimberley”. Organised by the La Trobe Environmental Action Forum (LEAF), the all ages event will be headlined by seven-piece Melbourne Latino Funk band Sol Nation, and ARIA winning South Australian indigenous reggae band Coloured Stone. The gig hopes to raise awareness and funds for the Save the Kimberley Campaign, which hopes to defer the development of a $30 billion Liquid Natural
Gas processing plant at James Price Point, north of Broome. Local support will also come from The Sitar Adventure and Blue Couch, along with Madeline Hudson, Shane Clarence, Kate Grearly and Kestral. Donated artworks will also be up for auction, from artists Dee Gill, Jeanne Brown and Rod Hartvigsen. All proceeds go to the Wilderness Society, Save The Kimberley and the Broome community’s No Gas fund. Tunes begin at 2pm. For more info contact Amy Naivasha on 0413 940062 or leafbendigo@ gmail.com

SHEDDING LIGHT
Home of the golden fleece They aren’t beautiful, woolsheds. So how come they draw us like a fine painting on a white wall in an art gallery?
SHADES OF THE PAST: Raheen shearing shed stands in the evening light, reflecting all its former glory from the days when wool was king. Sited between Mia Mia and Heathcote, owned by the McCarthy Family. Inset: Graham Hyslop in his shearing shed at ‘Ailsa’. Every gate has a different catch, due to years of the shed being modified. It works well he says, ‘but even I get caught out occasionally’.

SHEDDING LIGHT By ROSEMARY SORENSEN
YOU have probably seen one in a paddock by a road you’ve sped along in your car in the backblocks. Low-slung, rusted iron, sun-bleached timber, steepled like a church, a building of rhythmic functionality. They aren’t beautiful, woolsheds. So how come they draw us like a fine painting on a white wall in an art gallery, demanding at least a moment of contemplation of their lines, their details, their meaning? Tim Fischer, who writes a foreword to photographer Andrew Chapman’s new book about Australian woolsheds, suggests that it might have something to do with the history that congregates in the rafters of the big sheds. He suggests something about our Australian identity when he points out that a woolshed is a schizophrenic kind of place: “It is either full-on with colour, action and movement as the sheep fly across the boards and the wool hits the table for the skirting and sorting into bales, or it is deadly silent in the long months between shearing.”
Mr Fischer describes the woolshed at those unused times as “eerie, unloved and lonely”. This is the melancholy, slightly unnerving thing about a deserted woolshed. While one of the best-known and loved paintings in Australian history is Tom Roberts’ busy Shearing the Rams, it is the dusty light and remnants of toil that make Chapman’s photographs so powerful. “They are dramatical-
Just as he completed the work on this book, “a labour of love”, he was laid low with liver disease, and almost died. A life-saving transplant later, he is back at work, documenting the landscape and the people of the country. Earlier this week, he was in Castlemaine visiting friends, and took the opportunity to check out an old woolshed north of Maldon. “It had pretty well collapsed,” he says.
“Up to 2015, under any plausible scenario, power prices will double”
Manangatang, a snazzy little shed with a gabled roof in Mirboo, and Raheen, weathered like a chequerboard on the rolling hills near Heathcote. He quotes farmers such as Graham Hyslop of Ailsa, at Spring Plains near Heathcote, who describes his 700 acres as “enough to get you into trouble but not enough to get you out”. He says the response to this and other books about the wool industry
People have said to me, I can almost smell the wool. I didn’t expect it to be such an emotional response... ly beautiful,” Mr Chapman says. “You lose a lot of shots because the sheds can be really dark, and the wood doesn’t reflect much. “But there are so many elements that make them visually interesting.” Mr Chapman, based in the Dandenongs, has been photographing shearers and the people and places of the wool industry since 1976. His first woolshed was “a nondescript tinny in Central Victoria”.
“Year by year, the sheds go, one by one. I hate seeing them go.” Mr Chapman’s Woolsheds ranges far and wide, from an abandoned woolshed on Bruny Island in Tasmania, crumbling into the ferns, to a huge, grand, shiny new shed near Hay in New South Wales, rebuilt after a tornado battered everything flat in 2007. Victoria is represented by a classic corrugated iron shed in Streatham, an abandoned rusting heap of an old shed in

has reinforced his understanding that, in Australia, there is a “deep love” and nostalgia for the country. “I’ve had so many kind wishes, and it’s tapped into a strong well of memories,” he says. “People have said to me, I can almost smell the wool. “I didn’t expect it to be such an emotional response, but it’s a beautiful thing.” Woolsheds by Andrew Chapman is published by Five Mile Press, $39.95.

re-vamp Computers offers a new life FOR many years now, the Bendigo community has benefited from the services of Enhance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a not-for-profit organisation which provides computer sales and service for people on low incomes. Enhance has re-launched with a brand new name, and a new enthusiasm. They are now called ReVamp Computers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really excited about this new stage in our community serviceâ&#x20AC;? said Project Officer Brenda Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shannessy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are committed to helping people to become part of the new age; to get on-line and share in the benefits of technology.â&#x20AC;? According to Brenda, there is still a significant number of people who have not been able to keep up with the demands of modern communication, and this can only be detrimental and socially isolating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, it is no longer a matter of choice. Computers are
not a luxury, but a necessity. More and more services and information are become accessible only through electronic means, and those who do not have the means are becoming more and more disadvantaged.â&#x20AC;? That is the whole mission underpinning ReVamp Computers. They refurbish donated computers, and supply them with full operating systems, and peripherals, and then sell them to people at a very
low cost. They also provide computer repairs at a very low price, and if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix it, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge.

Heatcote nets the Derrinal Cup
T
HE Bendigo Legion Angling Club and the Heathcote Angling Club held the inaugural Derrinal Cup fishing competition at the Derrinal Pool at Lake Eppalock early in September. In appalling conditions Heathcote won the cup despite the efforts of Bendigo’s Maurice Knight of landing the biggest redfin along with Terry Jenkin’s contribution of a decent creel. Andrew Conforti of Heathcote managed to land the only golden perch of the trip with a 32cm specimen. Vacancies are still available for any members interested in the Dartmouth trip on October 22 and 23 with John Telford accepting trip captaincy duties – phone 0428 844 671. With Dartmouth currently in excess of 70 per cent, members are hoping that the increased water levels and slowly rising water temperatures will lead to some activity worthy of the drive. Closer to home, reports of goldern perch below Turrumbarry weir are becoming more common along with reports with plenty of fish being caught below the spillways of both Eppalock and Cairn Curran, for those prepared to put in the leg work. Of interest to the majority of Eppalock fisherman is the news that Fisheries Victoria has removed the recreational bag limit of 30

Although very popular amongst freshwater anglers, redfin are harmful to native fish and other sportfish such as trout according to Fisheries. This decision will assist in managing redfin in our waterways and may actually improve the quality of many redfin fisheries. Redfin populations can become stunted due to abundant numbers. Removing the bag limit will help reduce competition for the available food source allowing fish to reach a larger size more desired by anglers. Also Fisheries recently stocked an additional 35,000 Murray cod fingerlings into the Goulburn River. This is in addition to the 100,000 Murray cod that Fisheries Victoria stock yearly into lower reaches of the river to

FRESHWATER FISHING
NICK ATYEO encourage anglers back to areas devastated by fires. The Murray cod were bought with Victorian Government’s bushfire recovery funds and released between Seymour and Yea. The Goulburn River between Yea and Seymour has the potential to be a first class native fishery for Murray cod, featuring instream habitat (fallen timber) and features good access for anglers according to the Department of Primary Industries. The Central Victorian Lure Caster Supers
competition is on again this Saturday October 15 at Lake Eppalock with the Goldern Perch round. The super series is a catch and release lure fishing competition with all fish photographed then released. Registration is between 6.30am and 7.45am sharp at the Kimbolton Kiosk and Bottle Shop. Fishing starts at 8am and finishes at 1pm with presentations after results are finalised at 2pm. All competitors must abide by Victorian boating and fishing regulations and compete at their own risk. Check out the website at www.cvlcss.com or phone Jarrod Martin on 0437 000 6482 for more information.
Weather heralds a good catch
T
HE warmer weather of late certainly raises hopes of some good springtime fishing in our local reservoirs. While it is still a bit early to predict what might happen in terms of insect hatches. I know that the mayfly hatch at Barkers Creek Reservoir used to start in early October. The best days were often about the time of the Bendigo Show. Hatches at Malmsbury, Lauriston, Newlyn, Hepburn Lagoon and Newlyn Reservoirs are a few weeks later. Fishing the mayfly hatches is often best on cloudy, overcast days. On such days the insects struggle to dry their wings for take off. The trout take

JOE SINGE advantage of the insects caught in the surface film. Then when the weather heats up in November or December the evening caddis hatch can be expected, especially at Barkers Creek Reservoir. December often brings the Damsel and Dragon Fly migrations/hatches. The reports I have heard so far indicate that we might have to be patient until the newly stocked trout grow in our reservoirs. Col and Gene Holland caught some of the small trout rising at Tullaroop recently. Better fish were rising but they were out of casting range.

Hopefully as the bugs increase the fish will move closer to shore to feed. They may take some time to realise that the lake is bigger than it was and leave their low water feeding grounds. I have also heard that there are plenty of the smaller trout rising at Barkers Creek Reservoir. They are providing a challenge to those casting to them. Again, bettersized fish are rising further out. The sections of rivers and creeks below dam walls are also probably worth a look. Trout love flowing water and often go over spillways or swim upstream when water flows over. They take up residence in the tailrace waters below the dams.

Week
Aiming to raise awareness
T
HIS year National Water Week aims to raise awareness of the importance of taking care of our catchments. A catchment is an area of land that drains to one point, usually a creek or river. All land in Australia is part of a catchment. The ways in which we live and work in these catchments have an impact on the quality of water that drains into these waterways. Poor management practices on land can lead to deterioration in water quality. Poor water quality is damaging to the natural environment and increases the level of treatment that our water requires. National Water Week is the only nationally-focussed event designed to assist our community to take actions that help protect and conserve our most precious resource – water. National Water Week aims to support and encourage the various members and community groups who create
and promote events during National Water Week, as well as promoting key messages of water conservation. The success and reach of National water Week lies strongly in the hard work and support of the individuals and organisations who make events and activities happen. National Water Week’s focus is on connecting to the community and providing pathways for the community to connect with one another. Community education, schools and media resources are also available. National Water Week is hosted by the Australian Water Association. In a time when we battle with water shortages, getting involved in NWW may encourage increased understanding by staff, stakeholders and the broader community of what we can do, both individually and collectively, to secure our water future. See www.nationalwaterweek.org.au for more details.

IRST opened in 1993, Harcourt’s much-loved Skydancers Garden Centre and Café is set to re-open on Saturday. The well renowned tourist destination and local Harcourt treasure for more than 15 years, Skydancers, has recently undergone a major refurbishment and makeover. All Stone Quarries bought Skydancers in May, and have initiated a complete metamorphosis of what was originally, Australia’s only temperate Butterfly house. Skydancers will operate as a Grow Master Garden Centre, continuing its long held tradition of catering to the gardening needs of the local community. The Manager of Skydancers, Markus
Mollenhauer is well known to the Castlemaine and Harcourt district, he will head up a dedicated team, which will include the horticultural skills of Skydancers founder, Gary Sobey. The display gardens that encircle the newly renovated and enlarged café have been transformed and will provide seating for many visitors. Tim Bird co director of ASQ was well aware of the significance that Skydancers had to Central Victoria. “Skydancers was greatly missed by the community and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone to enjoy our gardens and café,” he said. Skydancers is located at the corner of the Midland Highway and Blackjack Rd at the south-western edge of Harcourt.

LIVESTOCK STAFFY CROSS, TAN FEMALE, 3 YEARS Hi there, my name is Delilah and I came to the RSPCA with my friend Samson. We have had a rough life spent on the end of a chain. We have not had much human interaction, yet we remain lovable and almost desperate to please. If there is someone who has time and knowledge, we will make loyal and terrific companions. We just want a family to love! I will be desexed upon adoption. CHAMP DSH, TABBY/WHITE MALE, 4 YEARS Hi there, my name is Champ and I am a very sweet boy, who has such a kind heart with a very loving personality which is not too out there for a cat. I am just quiet and I want a loving owner who would like to spend some quality time with me. So why not come and see me. I will be desexed upon adoption. DELILAH

Liam’s on the move
GEARING UP: Megan Anderson.
Megan is standing tall LIFE can be made up of deep-valley-to-mountaintop experiences and it is often the deeper the valleys the more our character is shaped. In Year Six, Megan Anderson began to experience minor health issues that did not completely manifest until Year Nine. In the following years there were fainting bouts which were diagnosed initially as a cardiac condition. The fainting continued with prolonged bouts of dizziness until Megan progressed into losing consciousness coinciding with seizures, panic attacks, anxiety and depression. The frequency of the attacks increased as did the stigma surrounding Megan’s predicament of still not knowing the direct cause or treatment required. Stress levels reached new heights with up to 10 seizures in a single day. Thankfully, there was a light shining brightly at the end of the tunnel. Family love and caring school members became a guide for Megan, giving her the will to fight harder
Bendigo Weekly – Friday, October 14, 2011
EDDIE BARKLA to overcome the affliction. With the continued positive affirmations and physical and emotional support being offered, Megan has been able to transform her “sick kid” thinking into becoming a young person with a desire to be on top of her health and well being. This has not only become a foundation of the Bendigo South East College student’s testimonial journey but she has now realised her own experience can become a catalyst in helping others. Megan’s mother and father, Jacquie and Michael, both being keen cyclists, worked on encouraging Megan to ride, understanding that the exercise helps to relax the mind and strengthen the soul. Cycling requires as much, if not more, mental strength and control than physical and Megan is coming to appreciate this aspect of her recovery. Cycling requires commitment and setting short, medium and longer-term
goals, all conducive to easing anxiety and stress. This combines well with the network of riders that are impartial in accepting allcomers to cycling. After being diagnosed with psychogenic seizures, Megan was told she could not be medicated, however she can now see the silver lining in the cloud has been the fact that she can face her fears while still young. Megan recognises she will always be an anxious person but this condition has taught her how to be strong enough to move on with life and enjoy experiences that come along, and she now has strategies that allow her to deal with issues as they arise. Megan’s 500 laps of the Tom Flood Cycling track today will be a time to share with others the awareness of adolescent mental health and make a financial contribution to St Luke’s and Headspace. You are welcome to witness this event and drop a donation in towards the cause. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.
EAGLEHAWK’S Liam Andrews is a boy going places, fast. The eight-year-old was last week crowned Australian champion at the 2011 Honda Australian Junior MX Championship in South Australia. Liam won all five races to secure the ideal 125 points and the 50cc 7-to-under-9 title. Before the first race had even begun, Liam’s race bike had spark plug problems on the start line, and his shot at the championship was almost over. But luckily another Victorian’s father, Scott Adams, came to the rescue and Liam’s bike was ready to go with only seconds to spare. Liam took off and was second into the first corner, but gained the lead as they exited the corner. He then pulled a handy lead, which he held until taking the checkered flag. The final gap was about 29 seconds. The second race was held in extremely difficult and boggy conditions. The start line was completely covered with water, and the rest of the track heavy thick mud. Several riders went down at the start, but Liam managed to stay clear of the crash, and found himself second for much of the race. Eventually Liam got past and held on for his second win. Conditions for the third race were not much better with several riders again going down at the start, but Liam took the inside line into the first corner,

and took the early lead. He then continued to extend his lead, but half way through the race got stuck in a deep rut. He managed to keep his bike running and get back on, surprisingly still in the lead. The rest of the race was incident free for Liam, finishing 36 seconds in front of the rest of the pack. Weather conditions had improved for the fourth race, the track drying up with minimal mud and puddles. Liam took the lead from the start and was never challenged, eventually winning by 24 seconds. At the final day of racing, Liam was extremely nervous. He had a 14-point lead over second place and only needed to finish
ninth or better to take out the title. Liam was determined to win the last race and get off to a good start, so much so he monoed off the line and half-way down the 70-metre first straight. He won by 15 seconds and helped the Victorian team secure more podium finishes than any other state for the first time. Another local boy, Brodie James, also competed in the 50cc class. He was fifth overall going into the final race, but hampered by bike troubles finished the titles in eighth position. Younger brother Carson James also qualified for the finals. Jake Pfeiffer competed in the 65 and 85cc class.
Crawford says he’s confident BENDIGO United spinner Nick Crawford is confident his team can match reigning premiers Strathdale-Maristians tomorrow in a grand final replay of last season. Despite losing several players, including gun bat Heath Behrens, United, led by star turns from Mark Di Fede (80) and Crawford (3/12 off nine) beat Sandhurst by 15 runs in Round One of the Bendigo and District Cricket Association. “Sandhurst is strong, and we think that they will finish
in the top four, so to beat them first up was terrific,” Crawford said. “The changes that have been forced upon us mean that everyone must do their bit when they get a chance. “That was the pleasing thing about the weekend. “Mark Di Fede and Wayne Fidler played really well up the top of the order, and Joel Spry (26 not out) and Zac Mona (13) finished our innings off.“ Crawford said Maristians, and Bendigo, were the
teams to beat this summer. “Maristians and Bendigo appear to be the benchmarks this season, and this game will be a good test for us early in the season,” he said. “We certainly know what is needed to compete with Maristians and it is up to us all to play just as well as we did last weekend.” In other matches Strathfieldsaye play Huntly/North Bendigo, Bendigo take on Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk play Sandhurst and White Hills face Golden Square.

Take up whatever activities you need on a daily basis to resolve or prevent health problems. You may feel a compulsion to clean up files, closets, or other areas of detail. It is one way of organizing your mind. It is a good time to catalogue, classify, and coordinate details for your next project.
Your ruling planet, Mercury, has just changed signs to Leo. This represents a shift of attention from financial matters to focus on communications, neighbours, siblings, and others who are in your daily environment. You may need to consider the needs of your vehicle now. Give it a checkup and a detailing.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20):
You are attending to responsibilities this week. It is a fairly serious time in which you feel somehow ethically or morally bound to follow through with commitments to the outside world. It is possible you are teaching others what you have learned. If you have prepared you will definitely succeed.
