UP THE CREEK Bendigo Ahead

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THE pressure on drains in Bendigo, causing problems at hotspots right down the course of the Bendigo Creek, has reached breaking point in the rapidly developing northern suburbs of Epsom and Huntly.

â–

No end in sight for drain dramas

“It isn’t working,� campaigner Bob Scheuffele said this week. “The developments are supposed to adhere to the provision that no more water will come off the estates than came off previously, so, how is all that water getting in the drain? “Finding a solution is a work in

progress but it needs to be on the agenda now.� Mr Scheuffele, who runs Espress Printers on the McIvor Highway in Epsom, and local resident Bill Knight this week took the Bendigo Weekly on a tour of Back Creek and Bendigo Creek from Epsom through to the north end of Huntly.

While construction work on one of the new estates went on behind them, they pointed out how the small retardation dams created at the edge of the estate had not been able to stop major runoff from recent rains. Hay bales set up in the overflow channels were askew, evidence

of a rush of water into Back Creek which regularly overflows and closes streets in the area. A woman walking her dogs down Ironstone Road said residents know it’s a flood plain and used to cope with minor flooding, but too much water is now coming off the built-up areas. “My neighbour, he’s in his 80s, and a tree has fallen into the creek at the back of his property,â€? the resident said. Continued Page 4

FOR Jess Anastasi, the inaugural Bendigo Writers Festival is “another step in the journey”. ”People keep saying to me, aren’t you excited?”, the fantasy romance writer says. “But I guess in some ways I’m taking it in my stride. I’ve rubbed shoulders with big writers before, at the Romance Writers Association conference for instance, so that isn’t a new thing. “What is good about the festival is that it will also promote our local writers – there’s a really strong network of writers in this region.” Jess was born in Swan Hill and went to school there until her family moved to Bendigo, where she went to secondary school at Catholic College. ”It was a really hardworking family,” she says. “After school I studied horticulture at TAFE but didn’t do anything with that, but it was while I was looking for a full-time job that I thought I’d have a go writing a book.

PLOTTING: Romance writer Jess Anastasi. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN “I’d always had it in the back of my mind I’d like to try.” Jess remembers telling the career counsellor in Year 10 that she would like to be a writer. “I think you should find something more plausible,” she was told. After she’d poured out 100,000 “not very well written” words, she took a deep breath and decided to try to get into the popular and highly contested creative writing course run by Ian Irvine at Bendigo TAFE. “I stuffed up the interview so badly, and I was sure I wouldn’t get in – all I had to show them was the first chapter of that book and some angsty teen poems. “But they saw something I couldn’t see in myself. I couldn’t have asked for better mentors.” A second encounter with someone who saw something in

Jess’ writing occurred when she was assigned a mentor through the Romance Writers Association. Married by then with two children, she was set a challenge by that mentor, and out of the challenge came her “Sanctuary” series, set in a distant post-apocalyptic future with a heroine who falls in love with an angel, against a desperate battle with destructive demons. At the Bendigo Writers Festival, Jess will be talking about her own work, as well as genre fiction, including erotic fantasy. “There are sex scenes, and some people might call them graphic,” she says of the genre, but she makes a clear distinction between what might be classified as the soft-porn of 50 Shades of Grey and what the “industry standard” is for romance. “These kinds of books I’m

talking about are not Mills and Boon, but these days, the bedroom door is not closed, we are with the characters when it happens, it’s a raw moment, when they can’t be anything other than what they are, and how they are feeling. “Each sex scene has to move the plot and the characters forward. “If she (the author of 50 Shades) had sent that to a romance publisher it would have been rejected.” Jess Anastasi will talk to literary blogger Megan Burke at 3.30pm on Saturday August 11, in The Capital, and will be on a panel discussing the difference between men’s and women’s writing, on Sunday, August 12 at 3pm, at the Bendigo Writers Festival.

Greens draw more fire over election War on election

DUMMIES By ANTHONY RADFORD

CRITICISM of the Greens’ plans to run three candidates in the coming City of Greater Bendigo council elections has continued. Former mayor and local Greens convenor David Jones revealed last week the party would endorse one candidate in each of the three new wards. Mr Jones said he would seek preselection to be one of those candidates. The Greens faced criticism at the last council election in 2008 for a similar tactic, with none of

the endorsed candidates winning a ward. Last week, councillors James Reade and Lisa Ruffell attacked the move, concerned about the influence of political parties on Bendigo council. This week, three more coun-

“I have never been a member of a political party. “I’m not a supporter of parties being involved in local government at that level.� North West Plains Ward councillor Bruce Phillips agreed. “As far as I am concerned that

I have always maintained councils are best kept free of party politics cillors added their voices attacking the move. Strathfieldsaye Ward councillor Keith Reynard, who has a strong interest in environmental and sustainability issues, spoke out against the idea. “I have always maintained councils are best kept free of party politics,� he said.

sort of potential of having some sort of group together voting the same way on policy issues may not necessarily be the right direction,� he said. “Sure they [candidates] might have affiliations or memberships, but I would prefer everyone acts independently and votes according to the merits of the proposal

in front of us and how it fits in with where council thinks it should be going.� Eaglehawk Ward councillor Peter Cox acknowledged it was the Greens’ right to endorse and run the candidates, but refused to support the idea. “I think they are courageous because they have principles they want to stand up for and they are doing that,� he said. “However, I would want pragmatic policy to influence the decision making of council. “This council looks at issues on their merit and different councillors vote different ways depending on what they see on each issue. “That is a credit to local government and I wouldn’t want to lose that. I prefer to keep politics out of local government.�

Milestone marked with pride THE Bendigo Joss House Temple celebrated two significant milestones this week. It was 40 years since it was reopened to the public by the National Trust of Victoria, and five years since the National Trust placed the temple in the care of Bendigo Trust. To honour the milestones, five sacred vessels were unveiled. The vessels were donated by Paul Tze Kong Young and have travelled from Happy Valley in Hong Kong The vessels are a standard feature on Chinese altars and they represent the five jewels of the Buddhist paradise. The Bendigo Joss House Temple is a unique piece of Bendigo’s history. “The Bendigo Joss House Temple is yet another example of the Bendigo community’s determination to preserve and nurture our heritage,� Bendigo Trust chief executive officer Tom Seddon said. “We may be the caretakers, but it is the support from the community that keeps it going, which is why I would like to recognise the invaluable contribution of all the volunteers who have given of their time over the years.� The temple has been open more frequently than ever recently and hosts visitors and an increasing number of school groups looking to learn more about Chinese culture and religious practices.

Bus chaos takes step closer to a fix PLANS to end the Mitchell Street bus chaos have taken the next step. The City of Greater Bendigo council voted this week to go ahead with the design and consultation stages of a compromise plan between the State Government and traders. The $4 million plan involves building two large, modern shelters nearby the existing stops. Two large signs using the latest technology will be built at the shelters, telling people when the next bus is about to arrive, giving them time to move to the stop. The technology will also allow people to receive updates on their mobile phones about the progression of the buses. The aim of the plan is to remove the congregation of travellers in the same spot, outside shops near the bus stops. It is a compromise proposal after the previous State Government re-routed all CBD buses down Mitchell Street, angering traders and bus travellers. The government is not budging on the route, but local traders are angry about the overcrowding on the Mitchell Street footpaths. A plan to widen the footpaths and have buses stop in the left-hand-lane of busy Mitchell Street was abandoned after ridicule from the general community. The new plan includes building a large bus shelter, suitable for 100 people, at the end of the Hargreaves Mall, and getting rid of the obelisk at the Mitchell Street end, as well as building another shelter across the road. Mayor Alec Sandner acknowledged the four-year fight for a solution to the chaos was too long. “This is a can-do and does-do council,� he said. “This has been a thorn in our side for a long time.� Council Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said there was “very strong� support for the compromise plan, especially the use of technology. “This is a solution for the (whole of) Bendigo,� he said. “It applies to Eaglehawk, Strathfieldsaye, Epsom, Kangaroo Flat and at every bus stop they want to catch the bus at.� Council staff will now discuss the plans in detail with local traders and bus users. The council is expected to give the final go-ahead before September 30. Page 12

“He can’t find anyone to take responsibility – he’s having a terrible time.” Further down the waterway, beyond where Back Creek joins Bendigo Creek, the affect of stressed drains is stark. Eroded banks rise high above the waterway, with pepper trees teetering precariously on the exposed edges of the chasm caused by the huge volumes of rushing water that hit the creek following any significant rain. “Bendigo Creek is the main drain for Bendigo, and it’s been neglected,” Mr Scheuffele said. “There used to be a dredge

that kept it clear, but that finished 35 years ago. “We need all levels of government to look at this right now, to get some plans in place because it’s only going to get worse.” Mr Scheuffele and Mr Knight are part of a group set up to raise awareness of the drain and flood problems at Epsom and Huntly. Chaired by City of Greater Bendigo Epsom Ward councillor Lisa Ruffell, the group attracted 120 locals to a meeting in April. They resolved to form a committee to talk to government at all levels and the North Central Catchment Management Authority, about finding solutions and funding for a looming environmental and social disaster caused by

increased flooding. “We know this is way beyond the resources of the council,” Mr Scheuffele said. “It’s going to require major funding.” Their next meeting, at the Epsom Primary School at 7pm on Wednesday, August 8, is timed to follow the release of the NCCMA’s Bendigo flood plan, scheduled this month. “What we need is someone to come up with an idea from left field to control the water,” Mr Knight said. “There are experts who know about water in flat areas and floodplains, so we need to get advice from them. “There are experts at everything – but there just don’t seem to be any in Bendigo.”

Cash back in budget for mall playground

By ANTHONY RADFORD

THE Hargreaves Mall playground is back. After ditching the plan as part of the budget process, the City of Greater Bendigo council this week quietly reinstated it. The only announcement about the reinstatement was one paragraph halfway through a press release about the final adoption of the budget. Council voted to re-allocate the $200,000 for the mall in the budget, with $150,000 to go towards a new playground and $50,000 towards amenity improvements. The money was initially for

the activation of the large screens and a larger amenities program. It is unclear whether the screen plan will go ahead. Council’s turnaround came after a campaign and a petition

Broadcaster ends his wireless ways

LOCAL radio presenter Frank Stowe is hanging up the headset this Sunday, after an astonishing 31 years of presenting a traditional jazz show. Jazz on Sunday, which first aired on then-Triple C FM on May 1, 1982, features music from Frank’s extensive personal collection of more than 3000 traditional jazz records.

Eighty-seven-year-old Frank has made the difficult decision to give the show away due to his health. “He has loved presenting, and absolutely loves jazz music. He has been collecting records since 1945, and we’ve travelled to the United States twice following jazz music,” his wife, Elsie, said. “He started after he saw an advertisement in the local pa-

THE head of Bendigo’s regional preschool organisation is hoping the loss of some places for three-year-olds will result in new models for preschoolers. “I have a vision,” Loddon Mallee Preschool Association chief executive Sandra Houlahan said this week. “Can we look at local halls as a way to connect children with staff? Does it have to be two staff or could it be rostered with parents, and could it happen for a small cost? “We’re right at the beginning of those talks, but it’s exciting for Bendigo.” LMPA this week announced the cluster of 26 kindergartens in the region will deliver a combination of 15-hour and 10.75 hour programs next year, in response to Federal Government-mandated changes to preschool requirements. Following the “transition” year, all preschools will then offer 15 hours, as legislated under the new requirements. Ms Houlahan said Bendigo is already at capacity, but the LMPA is working with the State Government and local council to increase the number of places available. “We have had to jiggle things around, and we’re not there yet,” Ms Houlahan said. “Our plan is to work alongside the affected areas and find other ways.” Ms Houlahan said preschool for prekindergarten children needs to be increased, despite the fact hours for those children will need to be reduced from 2.5 to two next year, to compensate for the increase in hours for kindergarten-aged children. “Right now, 1200 children go to kinder in our area, but only 400 go to pre-kinder. “It’s not highly accessed a lot yet, and with these changes, it’s a good chance to look at finding new ways to set up prekinder services that are cheaper and more accessible.” Ms Houlahan said kindergarten program hours for each centre in 2013 will be announced once enrolments are confirmed.

Car park is just the ticket

By ANTHONY RADFORD

IT has been a long slog, but it is finally here. The issue of a new car park for Bendigo was first raised in the late 1980s during a council election, and has been a hot potato ever since. Its latest incarnation, a multi-storey facility in the southern part of the CBD, has been in the planning stages for almost eight years. Council allocated $3.12 million in the 2003-04 budget for a car park on the corner of Hargreaves, Queen and Edward streets. That idea fell over because the council and private owner of the land could not agree. Because that process took too long to work through, the project was also delayed.

It has been the hottest issue the council has seen since, Hargreaves Mall redevelopment aside. City of Greater Bendigo mayor Alec Sandner this week officially declared the new $15m Edward Street Car Park and Office complex building open. Cr Sandner said the new car park has been constructed on time and on budget and is the council’s largest ever single capital works project. “I am delighted to declare this important new car park and office complex open for business,� he said. “Council has delivered this commercially viable project to relieve pressure on parking in our growing city, provide much needed new commercial space to create new employment opportunities and create an active

INSPIRING: Bernadette Black at the Women Showing the Way forum. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Bendigo shows how By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

BENDIGO’S Women Showing the Way forum is a model that should be adopted by local councils everywhere, according to a high-profile motivational speaker. “I want this to be in every municipality”, fouunding director of the Brave Foundation Bernadette Black said this week. “This is such a powerful model and I’ve

only ever seen it here in Bendigo.” Ms Black, who was the 2009 Barnados Australian Mother of the Year, was one of the speakers at the annual forum on Tuesday, hosted by the City of Greater Bendigo and initiated by councillor Lisa Ruffell. This year’s lunch for 200 girls from Bendigo schools continued the tradition of motivational speeches by successful women.

Ms Black was joined by meteorologist and WIN News weather presenter Jane Bunn and Worksafe technical inspecor Anita Macartney, leading the girls in brainstorming sessions about leadership and goals. Ms Black was a teenage mother, who set up Brave to help other girls and women counter setbacks that may hamper their development and achievements.

“I’ve encountered a lot of women who have been mentors for me, politicans, musicians, business women,” Ms Black, who lived in Bendigo for five years, said. “The most influential women in my life have often been those I’m most close to. “The message I talk about is that, if we persevere, if we have resilience, we can find a way to realise our potentials.”

Farmers must learn to switch off HELPING farmers through the tough times, not just economically but also emotionally, was discussed at a conference held this week. The Grains Research and Development Corporation organised the first business management forum at the All Seasons in Bendigo, to provide agribusiness professionals with information about assisting farmers. “We decided to broaden our conferences to look at the broader economic climate,” GRCD Southern Region deputy chairman Peter Schwarz said. “Feedback showed the need for this upskilling of the farmbusiness adivsory community.”

The conference was addressed not only by experts on international farming trends, but also Mark McKeon, an expert in advising on lifestyle-work balance who was fitness and teambuilding coach with the Collingwood Football Club for more than a decade. “I was speaking here to people who have to deliver the message to their own clients, the farmers, so I try to encourage them to take a holistic view,” Mr McKeon said. “My message is always about dealing with change, and farmers are people who must always deal with change, and so it’s important they build resilience.”

Although he has worked nationally and internationally, Mr McKeon said that to address this group of agribusiness advisors, he imagined his father-in-law, a now-retired beef-cattle farmer from Lake Eildon, as his “target audience”. “He’s a great man, but he’s a typical farmer, not always open, someone who thinks, why should I change?”, Mr McKeon said. “So my message to him, and to these advisors, is to learn to switch off. “Farmers live where they work, so it’s important to have those ways to switch off – and to realise that the pub isn’t the only option.”

IN THE SADDLE: Local enthusiasts will be raising cash for cancer research. THREE local horse enthusiasts are preparing themselves for a very important ride. Leanne Taig, Judi Ludeman, Kylie Morrison and Kristy Arnold are gearing up to join the Horse Ride for Cancer next month. The ride will begin in Mildura on August 12 and end at Queensland’s Redland Bay 76 days later. The ride will come through Bendigo on August 22. The women will take part in the Bendigo leg of the ride on that day. Leanne, owner of Kelta Park Agistment, will be riding out on Archie. She is riding in memory of her dad, Peter Taig, who died 16 years ago of multiple myeloma cancer.

She will ride from Wedderburn to Bendigo then on to Heathcote. Leanne has been in training for a few months. Judi, whose mum, Vi, is a survivor of breast cancer, also lost her dad, Bruce Hilson, to prostate cancer 15 years ago and had a scare herself. She will join the ride from Bendigo to Heathcote, on her pony, Star. “I am hoping to raise in excess of $1000 and hope that local firms I deal with on a daily basis in my role at Tweed Sutherland Real Estate jump on board,” she said. Kylie and horse Whorl are aiming to complete two legs of the ride, nearly 100 kilometres, from Inglewood to Heathcote.

Kylie will be riding in memory of her uncle who died from pancreatic cancer and in support of her grandmother who is a survivor of breast cancer. Kylie’s life has also been recently touched by the story of six-year-old Talin Hawkins, who died in July. Kristy, who will be riding out on Occy, from Inglewood to Bendigo, is excited to be joining the group of the large number of riders. She will be riding in memory of father-in-law Kelvin Arnold. Donations can be made online or at the office of Tweed Sutherland Real Estate, 52 Mitchell Street. For details visit www.horserideforcancer.com.au.

No one was at home at the time of the explosion and fire. A 75-year-old Bendigo man was granted bail in the Bendigo Magistrate’s Court this week after being charged with offences in relation to the incident, including criminal damage by fire. Julie Whittle and her disabled daughter Natalie lived in the house.

They are being helped by Haven housing service and friend Jan Kelly to find shelter. “We might have found a home with a hoist,” Jan said. “They have nothing, they lost it all in the fire. “They need everything to fill a house, from clothes to a washing machine.” Jan said Julie was “emotionally crushed” by

the event. “Natalie needs 24-hour care, this is not easy.” “Along with everything else Julie really needs help making some adult bibs for Natalie. “Face towels with pretty edging would make all the difference as Natalie dribbles constantly.” If you can help with donations in cash or kind contact Jan on 5446 8893.

All change in Eaglehawk Ward From Page 1 IN its 150th year, Eaglehawk Ward will be no more, becoming part of the Whipstick Ward, bringing to a close an era of history. But some things will not change, the last Eaglehawk ward councillor says. “It was Eaglehawk Borough until 1994, and then, after amalgamation with City of Greater Bendigo it has been a ward with its own councillor since that time,” Cr Peter Cox said. “Unfortunately, the name Ea-

glehawk is being taken out, so it’s interesting that it’s happening in the 150th year, and that’s a bit sad. “But Eaglehawk is growing and it will sustain itself. With its strong community spirit, there is no worry about that at all.” This Sunday, July 29, from 10am to 12.30pm, Eaglehawk will celebrate 150 years of local government. The program at the Eaglehawk Town Hall includes a performance by the Eaglehawk Brass Band, readings by local bush poet Geoffrey Graham, and the launch

of an Eaglehawk Heritage Society book, Rates, Roads and Rubbish 150 years of Local Government in Eaglehawk. The new book will be launched by five-time Eaglehawk mayor, Jack Taylor. At 90, Mr Taylor will be the veteran of a group of 29 ex-councillors and mayors who are returning to the shire for the celebrations. “On this day, we can acknowledge the dedication of the input into this great shire of so many people over the years,” Cr Cox said.

In addition to the 10 students, one from each education region in Victoria, selected to take part in the all expenses paid study tour to places of military and cultural significance to Australian servicemen and women during the 2013 term one school holidays, 17 regional finalists will win a study tour within Australia and lunch with the Victorian Premier, Ted Baillieu. Students this year invited to submit an entry addressing the question: To what extent is the ANZAC spirit relevant to life in Australia today?

Are we expecting too much from Mr Drum? DAMIEN DRUM has not responded to the debate about the TAFE cuts, other than his grossly insensitive comment justifying the cuts and the retrenchment of the staff at TAFE. Then again maybe we are expecting too much from Mr Drum. After all his priority is to ingratiate himself with the Baillieu Government and look after his own political career, rather than go out on a limb and defend TAFE. It’s easier for Mr Drum to abandon the community he purports to represent. It takes more than a photo in the sheep show to establish your credentials as a respected elected representative of your electorate. You also need content, depth and commitment to your electorate, which appears to be absent in Mr Drum’s lexicon of service to the community. The ridiculous strategy that Mr Drum appears to be playing is, “If I say nothing, it will go away and I will not have to be placed in an awkward position of attempting to justify the unjustifiable.� Mr Drum, it is not going to go away and ultimately, you will be the victim of your own political inertia. The human value in this shoddy policy has been forgotten, the community has lost expertise and experienced and knowledgeable staff, that have taken decades to build and from which the community has gained enormous benefit. Mr Drum wants to be identified with this callous and abysmal Baillieu Government, he’s welcome to it, but it says an enormous amount about him, which will be retained in the electorate’s memory. Scott Ramsay, Strathdale.

Why more for Echuca? I DO agree this is a step in the right direction, however I am shocked to see the average residential water use is capped at 160kL for Bendigo Region while the average residential water use is capped at 200kL for Echuca per year. I asked why Echuca’s quota is more than Bendigo’s and was told these figures are based on historical usage over the past 10 years. Well, we have been on severe water restrictions here in Bendigo for that duration. Over these years I have visited

all the river towns while on holidays to see most households had their sprinklers on with water running out into the street. Are the residents of Bendigo being treated fairly? I think not. Come on Coliban Water, this is not good enough. We deserve equal or better as Bendigo is lizard country – we need more water. R Woodall, Spring Gully

Honesty is best IT is mischievious of the Bendigo Weekly to piously declare to its readers that local councillors, while they may be passionate, financial members of political parties, remain completely nonpartisan and independent in their decision-making, and that the constituents who have voted them in, consider “their� representative on council to be free from a particular political ideology which may inform his or her decision making. In reality, even “independent� councillors are distinguished, within the community, by their particular political slant. In seeking to stand for the City of Greater Bendigo council as an Australian Greens endorsed candidate, David Jones, whose role as local Australian Greens coconvenor has never been a secret, is putting into action his promise

to voters that he will be “open and transparent to give people a clear choice when they cast their vote�. What is important at local government level, is that democratic power is exercised by, and vested in the community, or, in other words, at grassroots level. Specific local issues are paramount; however, to insist that the state and federal political context does not have importance or relevance to voters is something of a patronising insult to their individual and collective intelligence. Given this reality, it is reasonable to assume that David Jones represents a progressive, social justice focused, environmentally conscious and responsible local choice for Bendigonians. If only all candidates and councillors were as honest about their political affiliations, both publicly and behind closed doors. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Picking up the tab ONE would hope that our councillors are aware of the need to budget for liabilities in relation to their employees benefits. Defined benefits are not new and council should be aware of any shortfall as occurred in 1996. This scheme was and is being contributed to each pay-day by employees until retirement , when

they can either take a pension for life or a lump sum. Is there a failure by councillors to properly recognise the true cost of superannuation in budgeting, and to risk the continuance of unfunded liabilities in the belief that budget revenue would continue to grow fast enough to provide whatever was required from the ratepayers. If a balance between the growth in superannuation liabilities and other employee entitlements and the growth in budget revenue for those items is not achieved, or is not achievable in the foreseeable future, then the benefits being provided become unsustainable. Are these items clearly shown and explained in the budget papers given to councillors? It is interesting to note that the City of Greater Bendigo council’s latest budget incurring a 5.5 per cent increase in rate charge, has bought the rates raised from 2005 to an increase totalling 83 per cent, while the CPI on pensions has only risen by 22 per cent over the same period. In my opinion, council should budget annually and clearly for any liabilities in relation to its employees. But, of course ratepayers will have to pick up the tab once again.

End to bungling THE City of Greater Bendigo council must be commended for a couple of decisions it made this week. In finally agreeing to a worthwhile, well-planned and probably well-received plan to stop the Mitchell Street bus chaos, it has put four years of bungling, grumbling and poor design behind it. The current plan is a good one and should, based on all the evidence available, work for all. The road will not be narrowed, the buses still get to go down the main drag and students should take up the technology and only hang around the bus stop as their bus approaches. While the proof of the pudding on this one is still in the eating, council must be applauded for finally taking some forward-thinking action. Another well-worn issue is

Editorial Comment the Hargreaves Mall. It seems despite promising to “sort it out” the mall issue still haunts the current council. If it needed another reminder of how important the mall redevelopment still is with people, and how much it still grates with them, May’s news that council had decided not to go ahead with the playground was it. Some councillors expressed amazement people were still interested. That showed a large amount

of misunderstanding of the community. It came as no surprise this week that council will now redirect the mall money to build a playground in the mall. It also came as no surprise council did not announce that specifically, just like its plan to scrap the playground. Could it be the council is still a tad sensitive to the mall redevelopment fiasco? Must be an election in the air. With that in mind, council has a tricky situation on its hands at Huntly. The city’s drain problems are great, but none greater than in Huntly. Residents have a right to feel they are trapped, not just by floodwater whenever it rains, but by a problem that is getting harder and harder to fix.

Let the Games begin THE London Olympics start this weekend. Thank God. The lead up to the games of the 30th Olympiad has been like no other, and sadly, that’s already been to the detriment of what should be a global sporting spectacle. However, the trivialisation of the athletes’ lives has seen mainstream media become fixated with who might be hot for whomever else, or which American celebrity jock was seen talking to which Australian swimmers on the pool deck. And more recently, there’s been the saga over Leisel Jones’ figure, a circumstance as curious as it is distasteful. Flick through the papers, scan the web and you will struggle to find any comment or criticism of the now four-timeOlympian and her apparent bulk. But you will find the rejection of said comments, led by former swimming team mates. The easiest way to dignify an otherwise waste of words is to quantify it, rather than ignore it, and so now, less than a couple of days out from the opening ceremony, Australia has become beset by debate over something that makes us look like village idiots.

Jones, like every other athlete at these games, deserves to be judged on her performance, even more so than she does on the results she ultimately attains. Do your best, be your best and make us proud. But if the IOC handed out a gold medal for putting your foot in your mouth, Australia would have already claimed the gold, and most likely, the silver and bronze as well.

iour of a spoiled brat. Male and female athletes should be treated equally and that includes in the way they are transported to and from the Games. It’s bad enough that there are such massive injustices in the way gender seemingly determines the prize money, sponsorship and the coverage of sport in this country. For a nation so obsessed with sport, we can, and must,

For a nation so obsessed with sport, we can, and must, do better Speculation as to who should carry the Australian flag during the opening ceremony has made at least one athlete look like a silly, poorly advised gold medallist rather than one chosen to represent our country. Outbursts from other athletes over perceived injustices from four years ago should not be happening so close to such an important competition. Indeed, any lingering hurt or pain should have been resolved four years ago. And threats by other athletes to withdraw from competition are completely out of order and more akin to the behav-

do better. And for the record, it’s worth noting our women athletes won eight of Australia’s 14 gold medals in Beijing. I hope Leisel Jones carries the flag on Saturday night. She has already made history by becoming the first Australian swimmer to compete in four Olympics. By the time you read this column, and assuming you read it this far, Australia will know who has been afforded the honour of doing so. Let the Games begin.

By the City of Greater Bendigo’s Healthy Communities team.

STATISTICS show 56.9 per cent of the adult population in Greater Bendigo is overweight or obese. That’s almost six out of every 10 people. We all know being overweight isn’t good for our health and that it increases the risk of developing chronic illness such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. We have a chance to turn these numbers around by making healthier choices every day. Ninety per cent – that’s nearly all of us – don’t eat enough vegies and 70 per cent of us don’t eat enough fruit. I don’t think we need to ask what we are eating, then. Those weighty figures are giving us the answer. We’ve all heard that we should have five serves of vegies and two of fruit each day, but what does that look like? At the moment most people eat about half the amount of fruit and veg per day that they should, generally that includes one piece of fruit and two and a half serves of vegetables. The simple way to reach the twoand-five goal is to just double what you’re having now. So What Can You Do? When thinking about fruit

and vegetables, the one’s that are in season are going to taste best, be cheaper and easier to access. Currently in season in our region are broad beans, cabbage, chicory, endive lettuce, mustard greens, onion, parsnip, peas and snow peas, radish, shallots. Get Into Your Garden A simple way to increase your fruit and vegetable intake is to get back to the land and enjoy growing your own food. There’s nothing better than the taste of freshly picked home grown produce. In Bendigo, we are in temperate climate zone. This means coming into spring the following foods can be planted: apples, artichoke, asparagus, beetroot, beans, bokchoy, broad beans, cabbage, capsicum, carrot, celery, chilli, cucumber, eggplant, leek, lemon, lettuce, lime, mushroom, parsnip, passionfruit, potato, pumpkin, radish, rocket, silver beet and this list goes on. Get Active Gardening is great exercise. The physical benefits of gardening are often discounted because people don’t think of it as “real� exercise. But, gardening offers the same benefits as other forms of exercise. Did you know that you can burn as many calories in 45

minutes of gardening as you can in 30 minutes of aerobics? And depending on the task, you are using many different muscle groups, and increasing your flexibility and strength. For more information check out the vegie guide at www.abc. net.au/gardening/vegieguide/. Being a healthy community isn’t just about losing weight, it’s about making a difference in every area of your health. The Healthy Communities Team want to create a culture where making the healthy choice is the normal, easy choice. Every

one of us has the ability to influence positive health for Greater Bendigo, so let’s make a change! For more information contact Healthy Communities at healthy@bendigo.vic.gov.au. REsEARCh shows that on average our food travels one and half times around the world before it hits our plate. To cut down your food miles, grow your own food at home, in one of our local community gardens, or buy local seasonal, produce where you can.

Time to register BIGGEST WINNER $ OFF ANY 500 RIVER CRUISE BENDIGO’S

CUT OUT COUPON SAVER

REGISTRATION for the third annual Bendigo’s Biggest Winner health challenge opens next Wednesday. For 12 weeks, several local organisations have teamed up to support members of the community to lose weight and become fitter. Last year a record 200 people took part, including 13 workplace entries of between three and 25 staff, where groups of staff worked together with the support of their employers to improve their health. An added bonus is a first prize of $1000 for the person with the biggest percentage weight loss, as well as prizes for most centimetres lost, most improved blood pressure and most successful workplaces. “While not everyone does this for the prizes on offer, it’s an added incentive to keep on track for the 12 weeks,” St John of God Hospital Marketing manager Bronwyn Wheatley said. “We are also fundraising for the Heart Foundation, with all proceeds from the event going to them.” Ms Wheatley said this year there were some subtle changes to the event. “The registration fee this year is $100, but participants will get back $50 cash when they weight out after the 12 weeks,

wide, has nevertheless enjoyed a vigorous growth over the past few decades in home-grown writing and publishing. At a session on Sunday August 12, at 11am, Bendigo novelist John Charalambous will talk with a very wellcredentialled panel about the role of the independent publisher in Australia. On the panel: Erica Wagner is children’s book publisher with Allen & Unwin, who also publish the Vogels Award winner each year. Zoe Dattner founded the innovative Sleepers which has become an important part of the Melbourne alternative publishing scene. John Hunter has had long experience with major publishing houses, and now runs his own Hunter Publishers. And Kirsty Wilson is publicity manager at Text, which runs a Young Adult and Children’s Writing prize, to find new authors. What’s the bet the first question they’re asked is: do you think ebooks will kill off real books?

Mudlarks put me off track Steve is flooded with complaints after a heavy spell of rain on the building site

I HAVE entered a whole new world. I hinted at it a couple of weeks ago with the arrival of the container. The neighbour has gently mentioned disapproval of the colour of it. It’s maroon, and he thinks it would look better the same colour as the shed. Thank you for your input. Of course I resent the input and will leave it glowing until it suits me. Anyway, I have now met the great Aussie tradie. That’s my new world. The long-suffering Mrs Kendall and I have bought a block and are building. Goodness me, and they say poms whinge. Meet the tradie to find out what whinging really is. My core team of boss and site manager are fine and just get on with it, but the ancillary trades are finding all sorts of issues. Mrs K has bonded well with the plumber, who seems to be revealing all my man secrets. You know the kind I mean. Secret men’s business. He blabs. Mrs K is very pleased with her new informant as she throws in another gem of a secret. The plumber has a back-

hoe driver in tow who knows everything. If he hasn’t done the job, it’s all wrong... you know the kind of bloke I mean. “If I had done this you wouldn’t have this problem.” The main problem that’s been holding up the job of course is rain. Rain, we had none for 10 years and as soon as I open up the drive and ground it rains for four days. The newly-laid drive has gone walkabout and every truck rams what little road base left into the mud. Every call from the builder boss is like a call from a high-cost escort, as in I know it’s going to cost $1000. There the pleasure ends. I am sure it’s going to be okay in the end, but I fell foul of the classic tradie trick. Half way through the shed erection when all was going well, the shed guys went away for 10 days to another job. By the time they got back the aforementioned rain had arrived and they couldn’t get the concrete truck in.

I pointed out that if they hadn’t delayed the slab would have been in, but my complaints fell on deaf ears. It was all due to OTHER demanding customers. This because I had dared to mention no work had been done for 10 days. Anyway, the slab is in for the shed now, and work is starting on the house. Last time I looked, the

site manager was head first down a stump hole pumping out sludge and rainwater. I guess my timing was a bit off, worst time of year for such a task. The apprentice on the job is well prepared for the weather. He is wearing a hat with ears on to ward off the cold. No, not ear flaps, ears. He looks like a large mouse

scuttling around in the mud. As long as he’s happy I guess. I admit I don’t know much about the game, but the way these macho men in the concrete trucks have had to pussyfoot around leaves me dumbfounded. Mrs K fires up at me rather than the builders with many a gem. “Have they heard of Venice,” she said, referring to the

building of a city on a waterlogged swamp. “And what about Roman roads? How come ours fell apart?” Mrs K is right on the money there, but in the delicate balance of builder-client relationships I don’t want to upset the boat. Ahhh, there’s an idea. A boat might help in the proceedings.

Touring is Child’s play for Toni By STEVE KENDALL

TONI CHILDS is a citizen of the planet. That’s the name of her album, and her outlook. The 54-year-old Californian-born singer songwriter now calls Myocum, New South Wales home, but along the way lived in London and Hawaii after running away from home aged 15 to follow her love of music. Her musical growth through her 20s includes bandwork and singing unil she released her debut album Union in 1988. She is on an Australian tour at the moment, including the Capital in Bendigo on August 5. Toni’s had a lifetime in music, and has branched out into managing the business side too. “Not only do I write the music I’ve been learning how to take care of myself by becoming an independent artist... I’m shooting off my

arrows and seeing where and how they land,� she said. This interesting analogy suggests openness for new direction, and the willingness to go there. “At the moment, I’m living just outside Byron Bay, and it’s beautiful. I’m just growing. I’m wanting to do work that is meaningful to me, but is also meaningful to other people,� she said. Toni moved on from Hawaii to make things for the album project more accessible. “I’ve been touring and recording since 2008, and only been in Hawaii for a couple of months. It made sense to relocate. For the next five to 15 years it will be pretty full on. “I love Hawaii, I have a connection, my spirit is there, I absolutely love it there. But we have to move to do what we want to do. “It’s impossible to do it from Hawaii, unless you have endless amounts of money, which we just

HETHER for your child’s birthday party or a company function where kids need to be entertained, local business Bendigo Castle King have a range of jumping castles to suit every occasion. “Our castles come in eleven different themes: fairy, blast off, toy box combo, clown combo, jungle jump, animal farm, happy birthday, mermaid and fun-house combo, which have slides inside,� Susan from Bendigo Castle King said. Bendigo Castle King jumping castles are all industrial strength blow-ups. Equipped with UV shades which keep the sun out and a front bumper to prevent children falling out. All electrics motors and leads are protected by safety switches. Safety is a always a big consideration, so Susan or Glen make sure the person running

the function fully understands the correct operating procedure. “When someone selects one of our castles, we transport it to the required location, set it up and teach them how to operate it, explaining the rules and safety instructions,� Susan said. The castles can be booked for four or eight hours, although Glenn says the castle can stay beyond the four-hour booking if it is not booked for another function. Supervision is required at events where the castle is not in a backyard, so for a fee of $100, Susan is happy to supervise. Put some bounce into your parties by booking a castle with Glenn and Susan at Bendigo Castle King. Phone 5449 6501 or email Susan on sekilcullen@dodo.com.au for more information.

Served piping hot Bendigo has a strong tradition of pasty and pie making both in the home and commercially. during the tail end of the great depression every effort was made to try to make whatever money there was to be made. it is astounding the initiatives that ordinary people took to help feed their family and try to make do with whatever they were fortunate enough to have. Supplementing the family income was essential, this was also the case with the Cleary family. A cottage industry, that some today would say exploited child labour, took place in many homes within our community. Such was the case with edith Cleary, who lived at what was then number 18 Smith Street, within a stone’s throw from the Bendigo north State School. A number of edith’s children attended the school at the one time, they were son John, daughters Betty, Joyce and Shirley – all were roped in to help with their mother’s enterprise. The children’s father worked as a miner, at one he time was employed at the new Red White and Blue Consolidated Mine just off Thistle Street. As soon as the colder weather descended on irishtown and north Bendigo, Mrs Cleary sent a neatly written note to the headmaster, to inform him that she was prepared to make hot pasties and pies for sale to the pupils. There was no shop close to the school and neither was there a canteen or kiosk. The prospect of being able to be supplied with something hot

with

james lerk during the middle of the day at a very affordable price appealed not only to the staff but also the pupils. We must remember that the only heating then available in each of the classrooms was an open fire, not really effective, especially if the teacher was regularly standing in front of it. When on their way to school the pupils would let Mrs Cleary

It is astounding the initiatives that ordinary people took to help feed their family know they were wishing to order either a pasty or a pie. The right number was then made up ready for some hours later. However the orders were placed twice each week, and Mrs Cleary knew the quantity of meat that she would order from Uley’s the butcher situated opposite the Rising Sun Hotel. The vegetables for the pasties were bought from the Chinese market gardeners who sold their vegetables from door to door in

work for the children: Vegetables had to be chopped for the pasties and pies. the area. She would buy potatoes, carrots, swedes or turnips and onions, these were the chief ingredients for the home-made pasties. All the ingredients for both the pasties and pies had to be cut up to the required size and this is where all the children came into the action. Vegetables had to be cleaned, peeled and cut, similarly the meat had to be diced to the right size before cooking. Pastry had to be made and so all the ingredients were assembled, in the case of the pasties the pastry was wrapped over the top of the vegetables and the edges then crimped together forming a

crenellated ridge at the top. The Lux brand wood stove had been glowing already for hours and the oven would be hot, the pies and pasties were baked so they would be ready just at lunch time. The Cleary girls would come across to their house and the pasties and pies were placed on a quarter sheet of precut newspaper to be then handed over to those children who had ordered them. Later the family went up market and delivered the hot food in brown paper bags which had been obtained from Bolton Brothers. Bolton’s of Mitchell Street

had paper bag making machinery on their premises and they were the main supplier in Bendigo before World War ii. John Cleary recalled that the prices were two pennies for pasties while the pies were three pennies each, if home made sauce was wanted this was one penny extra. even the teachers loved Mrs Cleary’s home-baked pies and pasties. Miss Bourke, John Cleary’s teacher, was pleased to part with her money for the piping hot straight-from-the-oven pies and pasties; as with all monies collected it was taken home and handed to their mother.

Clear vision for young eyes nAoMi SieBeR, a qualified primary school teacher, worked with Children’s Vision optometrist Dr Arthur Stevens for several years and with extensive study and practical experience has become a vision therapist. What exactly does a vision therapist do? “We receive referrals of children and young adults from optometrists within our group, teachers, psychologists, occupational therapists and often from parents concerned about their child. They have concerns with the referred child’s visual function or learning problems and we assess them thoroughly to see what the issue is,” naomi said. What other services does the Children’s Vision Clinic offer? The clinic assesses whether the child learns primarily by sight, hearing or touch. if they have memory

problems or easily confuse left and right then learning in a traditional classroom setting can be difficult. ”i’ve seen kids who struggle to read a paragraph and then answer questions about what they’ve just read, but if the paragraph is read aloud to them they will get 100 per cent,” naomi said. “So, a child may be labelled as dumb when they are often very bright.” kosmac & Clemens supply a thorough report for parents, teachers and any other professionals involved in helping the child.” “i can’t tell you how rewarding it is to see a child who is initially frustrated and withdrawn, because school doesn’t seem to click for them, change and become confident and excited about going to school and fulfilling their potential.” kosmac & Clemens optometrists , 9 Mitchell Street, Bendigo phone 5441 8841.

Taxation 2012

Individual tax returns – common errors T

HE Australian Tax Office has recently revealed five common errors in individual tax returns. Work-related expenses: Ensure that all claims above $300 can be substantiated. The tax office has noticed an increasing number of claims that cannot be supported by receipts or other written evidence. Interest and dividend income: Apparently many taxpayers are not reporting all of their bank interest and dividends which is often advised to the tax office from the finance institutions. This is to include accounts that may have been closed during the year and the apportionment of joint accounts. Interest expense on loans: Only interest expense incurred to produce income is deductible. Many taxpayers are claiming this expense even though the loan is for both

private and investment purposes. The interest must be apportioned to each activity. Interest expense for an investment home: To claim interest on a loan obtained to purchase a rental property, the property must be rented or available to rent in the year the deduction is claimed. Allowances: Allowances shown on payment summaries must be declared at income question 2; allowances, earning, tips, director’s fees, etc. Taxpayers are reminded that they are not automatically entitled to a deduction just because they received an allowance. To help guide you through the intricacies of the taxation system and maximise your return or minimise your tax liability call Graham Watson of Accounting & Management Consultants Pty Ltd, phone 5444 0455 conveniently located at 85 Wills Street, Bendigo.

To allow traceability of sellers of pets, it is now an offence to advertise the sale of a dog or cat unless the microchip identification number of the animal is included in the advertisement notice. A registered domestic animal business may use its Council business registration number as an alternative. A penalty of up to 5 penalty units (around $600) can be issued by Authorised Officers of Council, RSPCA or Department of Primary Industries for advertising the sale of a cat or dog without a microchip. For further information, call the Department of Primary Industries on 136 186.

Where to run in Bendigo

STEP OUT: Have you considered running?.

Still time for a run By PETER BARRETT

Athletics Australia Accredited coach, and 3T Fitness. THERE is still some time left to get some kilometres into the legs for the Father’s Day Eaglehawk to Bendigo Run For Dad on Sunday, September 2. If you missed last week’s Week One it is repeated below. Before the jog make sure you have a good drink of water. No additives, just plain water out of the tap. Next, take at least 10 minutes to do some warm up. Begin with a fiveminute walk then do a series of movement exercises. Try some lunges over 10 metres, 1/2 high knees,

karaoke, backwards running – these aimed at warming the body and as they are a variety of movements dynamically stretching muscles in a variety of directions. Recapping the first week – the program is a guide. Start it on Sunday as that is traditionally the distance runner’s day for a long run. DAYS 1, 2 3, 4 and 7 10 minutes jog. This could be from your house or the car park of a park. Why not try one of the lake runs below? Begin with a slow jog. If after just a few metres you feel that you are forced to, then stop.

Listen to your body and stop, walk 10 metres and then start to jog again. Don’t worry if this happens time and time again. What really matters is that you are out there getting fitter and are working towards your goal. After five minutes, no matter whether you are jogging comfortably or jog/ stop/walking, turn around and jog back to your starting point. Whether you found this difficult or a breeze is not particularly important. The important thing is that you did it. Reward yourself by heaping praise upon yourself. Remember to enter today’s run in your training log.

DAY 6 Rest Day. Now, you may like to test yourself at one of the local running club events on DAY 7. Why not try the three-kilometre? After 14 days we will have managed 10 days of running or continuous movement. This week (week three), we are gradually increasing our running but still listening to our bodies. Some of you will have done all 10 runs without having to halt for a recovery. If this applies to you, you can move straight to week three. Next week we look at running a specific distance in the session.

NetSetGo! for Bendigo netball By JOEL PETERSON

NETBALL is taking centre stage this Sunday, as the Newbridge Football Netball Club hosts the WorkSafe Netball Victoria Game of the Month. The side will do battle with Loddon Valley Netball Association rivals Bears Lagoon-Serpentine at Riverside Park, with each A-Grade side to be

coached by a Melbourne Vixens player. Vixens’ goal-defence Bianca Chatfield, and goal-attack Tegan Caldwell will run a clinic for Newbridge NetSetGO! participants, before speaking at a luncheon hosted by Australian netball legend Shelley O’Donnell. The event comes in the club’s first season back at their home ground, af-

ter the entire facility was wiped out by the January 2011 floods. The Maroons played their home games last year at Loddon Valley Football League competitor YCW’s Backhaus Oval, over 40km away in Golden Square. While the netball is the centrepiece of the day, there will be an extremely important game of senior

football take place in the afternoon. Newbridge and Bears both have sides in contention for the LVFL premiership, and currently sit fifth and second on the ladder, respectively. The day kicks off with the NetSetGO! clinic at 9am, and concludes with the completion of the senior football at about 5pm.

WE are fortunate in Bendigo and surrounds to have a wonderful variety of off-road running options. Sure, most of you may have to drive to get to them however many may only be a 10 minute walk or slow jog from home (the warm up). There are many good reasons to choose to run at one of these venues to use for your running base. Even several of them. Safety, good surface, many have distances marked, some are scenic. To assist, here is a summary of some of these locations. Lake Weeroona – 1470m on the outside and 1400m along the boardwalk. Good shade and if you use the path along the creek there is some up and down. Can be extended by going along the creek pathway. Toilets and plenty of grass to do the warm ups. Lake Neangar and Lake Tom Thumb (Eaglehawk) – Neangar 1060m Tom Thumb 970m. This is a very good combination (watch crossing the road although not busy). Tom Thumb is a bit of a “treasure” as the surface is close to a “tan” and therefore runner-friendly on the legs. Toilets. O’Keefe Rail Trail – perhaps one of the most interesting and least utilised. Commences on the Bendigo Creek near Boat Sheds at Lake Weeroona and goes for 19km mostly following the old Bendigo – Heathcote Railway line. Ideal for “out and back” runs and there are plenty of places along the trail where you can commence running. Be careful of traffic as it crosses a few roads. The surface is good for running. Some entry points include in High Street near the Captain Cook Hotel, at the end of Strickland Road and Atlas Road. Crusoe Reservoir – Arguably the best arrangement of tracks for running in the district. Several arrangements well marked out over a variety of distances from 3km to 8km. Good running with some chal-

lenging climbs. Toilets and car parking. Kennington Reservoir - In Bendigo we may not have the large lakes or reservoirs like Wendouree in Ballarat but the mix of small water catchments many of which are a legacy of the gold mining days, gives the runner plenty of variety. One of these is “Kenny Res”. Good running with plenty of shade. Toilets. Bendigo Creek Trail – This is well marked out and like the O’Keefe Trail can be entered at several points. Runs from Kangaroo Flat to Huntly. Crosses some major roads. One advantage is it links to Lake Weeroona Rosalind Park – perhaps not the best surface as most is concrete yet close to the CBD for that lunch-time 10 minutes plus there is the good climb up the rise to the QEO. Coliban Water Race – If you care to take a drive out of town for an off-road run with some of the best scenery, the Coliban Water race is recommended. It can be entered at several points and possibly one of the best is at the end of Springs Road Sedgwick. Not an easy run and some of the surface is a bit rough. However the scenery over the Sedgwick Valley is worth the effort. These are just a few of the many runs around Bendigo. This week the four Athletics Bendigo Clubs are combining for the South Bendigo Invitation – The Woodvale Classic at the Woodvale Recreation Reserve. Running begins at 2pm with the 6.5km and 3.2km followed by the under-age events over 1km at 2.50pm. The runs are open to all athletes. You do not have to be a member of a club. More details: www.southbendigoac.org.au. For information on any of the Athletics Bendigo clubs log on to www.athleticsbendigo.org. au and follow the links to the clubs. Next week we look at the course.

Women’s football team shows promise in second year

Thunder chasing premiership glory

By JOEL PETERSON

TACKLED: Action from the Adelaide game last year. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Spirited start to year THE Bendigo Spirit will have a tough start to its 2012-13 WNBL campaign, playing each of the top three sides from last year in the first two rounds. The Spirit, whose first home game is in round three, will travel interstate to play 2011/12 minor premiers Adelaide and West Coast on October 5 and 6, respectively. The game against the West Coast Waves will see the Spirit women face former teammate Deanna Smith, who signed with the Perth-based club in April. In round two the Spirit plays away from home on consecutive

days against last year’s runners-up Bulleen, and the 2011-12 WNBL champion, Dandenong Rangers. Every team will also have a bye once, which has been caused by the departure of the Australian Institute of Sport team from the competition, with the Spirit sitting out round 5. Each team will play 24 homeand-away games, with all 12 Spirit home games played at the Bendigo Stadium. The 2012-13 season runs from October 5 to February 16. Bendigo will host Townsville in the final game of the season

BEFORE

AFTER

BENDIGO’S women’s football team the Thunder are on course for a shot at the North-West Conference premiership in just its second season in the Victorian Women’s Football League. The Thunder defeated fierce rivals North Ballarat last weekend, completing a season in which they won all their games but one – a draw in round three against second-placed La Trobe University. Thunder coach Russell Jeffrey said it gave the team a chance to judge themselves against two of their main rivals for the flag. “The last two games have been a useful opportunity for us to look at where we need to step up as we head into finals,” he said.

We know there’s a long way to go, and we still have a lot of work The 6.5.41 to 2.4.16 victory against the Eagles was described by Jeffrey as a true team performance. “We played a great team game today, there were some outstanding individual efforts, but over all it really was a great group effort,” Jeffrey said. The Thunder made the finals after finishing in second position on the ladder last year, but lost in a preliminary final to La Trobe by 20 points. This year they are determined to go one better, but according to general manager Bianca Rinaldi the team is keeping things in perspective. “We know there’s a long way to go, and we still have a lot of work to do, but to go through our second season undefeated is something we never expected and everyone is stoked about it,” she said.

HIGH BALL: Thunder at Kangaroo Flat. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN “The sides we’re coming up against in North Ballarat and La Trobe have had a lot of finals experience, but we’ll definitely be better off after our finals campaign last year.” One of the main factors that led to the loss last year was injuries to key players, and although Hayley Trevean, Emma Grant and Brea Martin are dealing with injury woes at the moment, they should

be fully fit in a week’s time. The Thunder have this weekend off before playing the winner of the qualifying final between North Ballarat and La Trobe, a break that Rinaldi said will help immensely. “It will help with the injured players, but also to take stock of where we’ve come from, what we have to do, and our expectations for coming weeks,” she said.

Riding to muzzle the black dog LOCAL motorcyclist Shane Taylor is taking a stand against depression, with his involvement in the Black Dog Ride to the Red Centre. Held from August 18 to 24, the ride sees Victorian participants cover 2713 kilometres from Melbourne to Alice Springs, raising funds for mental health issues and depression. Shane and daughter Skye will embark on the journey, motivated by Shane’s own personal battle with his mental health. “I have gone many years dealing with the dreaded black dog in my own personal life, which

has caused break downs of my relationships,” he said. “The Black Dog Ride has shown that people are not alone when having to deal with the disorder of depression, so it gives you a sense of developing a comfort that is empowering yourself to speak about the issues not deny them.” In an effort to raise funds for the ride, Shane will display businesses’ logos on his bike for a fee of $100. Any interested businesses can contact Shane via email at shaneit1@ gmail.com.

Voice of the Games

I think every four years the team gets stronger

Scott McGrory will commentate on the Olympics hot on the heels of working on the Tour de France. This Bendigo resident has sport covered. BENDIGO can lay claim to several athletes competing in the London Olympics, which begin this Saturday. We can also lay claim to someone with a rather important job outside the competitive sphere. Bendigo resident and former pro cyclist Scott McGrory is commentating the cycling events for Channel 9 alongside the world-renowned voice of cycling, Phil Liggett. The 42-year-old, who moved to Bendigo in 2004, has just come off reporting at the Tour de France, which he said was “as spectacular as always�. “Team Sky were just incredibly dominant,

their extremely sportsscience focussed approach and the way their team just took the race away from everyone was incredible,� he said. McGrory is calling all the cycling events in London, starting with the Men’s Road Race on Saturday evening (AEST), in which Australia has an extremely strong team. “I think every four years the team gets stronger, this year they’re geared up for [Matt] Goss to win, and the team will have arguably the world’s strongest

helper in Cadel Evans.� As for the chances of another Bendigo boy who is competing in the track cycling events, Glenn O’Shea, McGrory said there is a very strong chance that he will bring home gold. “Glenn is the favourite for the omnium, after he won the World Championship in Melbourne earlier this year, and even before that he was always up there in World Cup events, so he will definitely be around the mark. “There are a lot of variables that can be thrown up in the six events the omnium riders contest, but if all goes according to plan, Glenn should win.�
