Group think go-ahead By rosemary sorensen

Bendigo’s plan to become a “thinking community” received the thumbs up this week. “Anything that helps us understand what Bendigo wants and aspires to be is good,” Keech chief executive officer Herbert Hermens said this week. “We already have great organisations like the Bendigo Business Council, but this builds on that. “The opportunities are clear: we have terrific manufacturing and education and a burgeoning medical sector, with interests far and wide. “This will be about taking ownership.” Bendigo – A Thinking Community secured $30,000 funding from the state government, matched by the Community Foundation for Bendigo and Central Victoria. sue Clarke, who heads up the Foundation and is part of the Reference group for A Thinking Community, said the idea grew out of the now defunct +25 Community Plan. she said she wanted to turn around the negativity, particularly around the involvement of young people in the community, and begin to work towards increasing the leadership capacity across a wide spectrum. The Reference group includes Andrew skewes, Trevor

Budge and Jane Farmer of La Trobe University, st Luke’s Ceo david Pugh, Haven’s Trudi McClure, artist Karen Ward, sustainability speaker ian McBurney, nick Byrne, Lynne Talbot and Prue Mansfield of the greater Bendigo council, farm business consultant nigel Mcgucklian, community engagement consultant Penny Wilkinson, web designer Tim gentle, Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal Ceo Alexandra gartmann, business consultant Cathy Wallace and La Trobe University Regional Advisory Board’s Fabian Reid. Mr Reid, also chief of staff for outgoing Federal Member for Bendigo steve gibbons, said where the +25 group got bogged down in immediate problems, this group is about teaching us how to think. inviting a company called Action Foresight to Bendigo, Thinking Community will workshop “foresight and futures studies”, then “innovation processes”, then “prototyping and modelling social enterprises and initiatives for change”. Finally they will launch a “leadership group/foresightto-innovation networking platform as a ‘living lab’.” Mr Pugh is enthusiastic about what the project can do. “When you set up a community group, the risk is people drift to action plans and shortterm cycles, with goals to fix up

At the end of the first year, Mr Pugh said he hopes there will be a “framework” within

Bendigo able to support and continue the set-up phase. “This is a perfect way to get the community to put up their hand and shape the future.” outgoing greater Bendigo councillor James Reade also endorsed the project. “You have to get people in a room with an open mind, and say anything goes, then work your way out of that,” Mr Reade said. “This new model adds a new approach.” 4EDiTORiAl Page 13

Littlies have a say THE littlies of Bendigo are about to break the hearts of two grown men. A third will be smiling broadly. This week, Greater Bendigo Community Wellbeing director Pauline Gordon released three designs for the mall playground, and introduced the three men whose units were responsible for the designs. Gary Lantzsch, a landscape architect, Lincoln Fitzgerald, recreation manager, and Orrin Hogan, of the “natural and passive reserves� department, have each been sweating over their teams’ designs for the longdisputed mall playground. The winning design will now be chosen by those for whom the playground is being built – children. Ms Gordon said information and posters about the playground designs will be

going out to 80 prep and preschools this week. “Each design will have its own story attached and teachers will be telling the tales of each concept when they present the images to the children,� Ms Gordon said. “The kids will then put a sticker on the one they like best.� Council will tally the votes and the $150,000 installation will begin within a couple of months. “We heard loud and clear from the traders that they want something for young families,� Ms Gordon said. “This will make a more active and entertaining space, with colour and vibrancy. “This has really been a collective effort across council, to make the CBD a place people want to come to.� Ms Gordon said the idea

to get five-year-olds to vote makes the final decision “an exciting little exercise on its own�. “Straight away, everyone will have a view,� she said. “I think it’s just as risky leaving it up to big people.� Mr Lantzsch’s team’s design has a big red dragon as its main feature. “You’ve got to have something special, something unique, for a playground, because the standards have gone up,� he said. Mr Fitzgerald’s team’s playground has a boat and house design, and includes elements that are flexible, so they can be swapped around with other playspaces in the city, to provide variety. There are hiding holes and a lookout tower, with (artificial) grass and some shade to complement the trees now growing in the

mall. Mr Hogan’s team also came up with a dragon, as part of a flora-and-fauna themed space. Ms Gordon said all three designs are costed and ready for implementation. She said this first phase of the mall upgrade will be

followed by other initiatives, such as introducing planter boxes and “shrubbery�. The third initiative, providing activities such as chess and trampolines in the mall, is ongoing, with a stage soon to be installed.

Parks Victoria defends toxic site clean up By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

PARKS Victoria has backed its clean-up plans at the regional park in West Bendigo, rejecting calls for the release of testing and audit documentation. In a letter to the Bendigo Weekly, regional manager Kate Millar said independent auditors appointed by the Environmental Protection Agency had endorsed the clean-up plan. She said the process,

which complies with EPA guidelines, has been “robust and detailed�. Last week, the director of a mercury recovery business, Andrew Helps, claimed the temporary “hydromulching� at the site had increased the toxicity by fuelling a process of “off-gassing�. Parks Victoria has refused to comment on the “off-gassing� claim. Mr Helps tested soil on residents’ properties last

month, and said the level of arsenic and other contaminants is “staggering�. In a letter to Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards, Mr Helps said the carbon now on the site will “create a large bio-reactor that will keep generating emissions for probably hundreds to thousands of years.� Ms Edwards said she has “no reason to doubt� the testing results produced by Mr Helps’ com-

pany, Hg mercury recovery. “If Parks Victoria and the EPA have different results, they need to release that,� Ms Edwards said. “We have a situation far more serious than Parks Victoria and the EPA have let on, not just to the residents but to the broader Bendigo community. “In light of the new information, there have to be some serious questions asked.� The residents’ group

formed following the February 2009 bushfires. They have asked for another meeting before the cleanup contract is awarded. “Representatives from Parks Victoria, EPA and the independent auditors will be meeting with residents in coming weeks to discuss the process and the cleanup plan,� Ms Millar said this week. They have advised, however, no testing results will be released.

Kick start for gaol plan LOOK OUT: The gaol development is set to start. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN By ANTHONY RADFORD

IT is the largest development the Greater Bendigo council has been involved in, and it is ready to go. Planning Minister Matthew Guy this week approved a planning amendment that will see the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal dismiss an appeal against the $25.8 million plan to build a theatre in the former Bendigo gaol. This will pave the way for work to begin, and the council, and developers the Victorian Department of Education, are keen to get the show on the road. “We are keen to go to the market before the Bendigo hospital redevelopment does,” council City Futures director Stan Liacos said. “The quicker we go to market the lower the cost. “We can get the ball rolling now the project team has been given certainty.” The Department will call for Expressions of Interest next week, with the expectation of releasing tender documents by December. Construction will begin in March next year, and be completed by the end of 2014, in readiness for the 2015 school year. If the tender can be awarded before that of the nearby $630 million hospital redevelopment it should allow, theoretically, for

construction costs to be kept at a minimum. “This project will create many potential opportunities for local industry,” Mr Liacos said. “Sub contractors, service providers and suppliers are urged to lodge their registration of interest with the Industry Capability Network at www.icngateway.com.au under Victoria projects.” Mr Guy said the project would create 121 construction jobs, a warm up for the 735 jobs the hospital will create during that build. The theatre project scale is huge. All up, it will be about 7000 square metres, with 6000 square metres of new space. To put that into context, it will be about the size of 12 basketball courts. While most of the space will be taken up by the theatre and its foyer – one of the original gaol wings – there will also be buildings constructed for the adjacent Bendigo Senior Secondary College. “This project will deliver a school performing arts centre, comprising music, drama and arts studios, as well as new food technology kitchens, a canteen and food technology theory space and general classrooms,” BSSC principal Dale Pearce said. The council itself is paying only $3 million for the development,

The money will be for the full completion and fitout of the project, but, as it did with the $15 million multi-storey carpark in the CBD, council will have to find a bit more for landscaping. About $600,000 will need to be budgeted in the future for landscaping and works connecting the theatre to the planned 225 car spaces across the road. Council is budgeting for a net operational budget cost of about $200,000 a year for the theatre, which will include two specific technicians for the facility.

The management and staff of The Capital will be responsible for the gaol theatre and its running. Council and the government are putting the finishing touches on a joint-use agreement for the site, which includes who will run what sections and how the relationship around use will work. TAKE a last look at the former Bendigo gaol in a photo sideshow at www.bendigoweekly. com.au. It includes photographs of sections that have since been demolished.

V/LINE TO THE GALLERY MORE than 40,000 people caught the train to see two major exhibitions at the Bendigo Art Gallery last financial year, according to V/Line’s annual report released today. More than 15,000 people caught the train to see the White Wedding Dress Exhibition late last year, while more than 25,000 patrons made the trip to see Grace Kelly: Style Icon in the first half of 2012. As a whole, the report stated over 3.4 million trips were made on the Bendigo Line in 2011/12. The line experienced patronage growth of 2.7 per cent or an increase of 90,000 passengers last financial year, from 3.36 million trips per year up to 3.45 million. The increase cements its status as the second busiest line on the V/Line network, only behind Geelong which handled 3.9 million passengers in 2011/12. Two major reasons for the increase in patronage were the Grace Kelly: Style Icon and White Wedding Dress exhibitions held at the Bendigo Art Gallery, with more than 40,000 passengers catching the train to see the exhibitions. Punctuality on short-distance trips – including those to Bendigo – was up 3.6 per cent to 87.3 per cent, while 97.6 per cent of trains encountered no faults on short-distance journeys, down from 98.7 the year prior. In August of this year, punctuality on the Bendigo line was below average at 84.8 per cent, while reliability of services was 97.6 per cent. As a whole, V/Line recorded an 85.7 per cent drop in net income in 2011/12, recording profit of $1.819 million, down from $12.733 million in the previous financial year, much of which was due to expected fleet maintenance costs and increases in project expenses.

CFA heads out to spread the fire-ready message By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THE CFA is taking its message out to where people are, not asking them to come and get it, in order to spread the word about being fire-ready for the summer season. “It’s about better use of our resources,” community education co-ordinator Paul Tangey said this week. “In the Loddon Mallee region, we still have public meetings but we’ve changed our tack.

“We’re going to where people are – school fetes, community markets, the library – and speaking to the public there. “Someone said to me a few weeks ago, it’s less publication, more conversation. “Having a chat is better than giving someone a brochure that gets put in the bin.” Mr Tangey said the recently established Home Bushfire Advice Visit service is growing in popularity.

around your property and help prepare you to make the decision about whether to stay or go, in the case of bushfire. Mr Tangey said fire ban

information will be released later this year. “People need to double check the info because the regulations have changed a little,” he said. “I always say you need to check, because just because it was like that last year, doesn’t mean you can burn off this year.” Recent concerns about reductions in funding to fire services across Victoria have not impacted on the CFA in Central Victoria, according to Mr Tangey.

“We have a group of volunteers – and I don’t mean to sound trite – but they are the heartbeat of our organisation, they are only too willing to help,” he said. “And we haven’t found complacency (since the Black Saturday fires in 2009) most people are pretty good. “There are a few places where you have to give the community a jolt. “You’ll see us anywhere this year, putting out our key messages.”

COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2012

Transport the main event By ANTHONY RADFORD

UNLIKE the previous two Greater Bendigo council elections, this poll lacks a single big issue that gains the public’s attention. In 2004, the controversial plan to run the tram around Lake Weeroona energised anti-council sentiment and saw councillors lose their wards. In 2008, the cost overruns and poor management of the redevelopment of Hargreaves Mall was the issue that had voters angry. In that election, five councillors lost their seats. This time around, whether by good management or good fortune, there is not one issue that is attracting rancour. There are issues that are grabbing the odd headline, such as the rates cap, the gaol theatre plan and an independent review, but none of those seem to be causing the voters to go into the cupboard and grab their baseball bats. The issue that has attracted the most interest during this council’s four-year term is how to manage the city’s ever-growing transport problems. Since day one, this council has had to deal with bus chaos created when the State Government redirected every CBD bus down Mitchell Street. Only in the past month has council accepted a plan that could ease that pressure. Council is facing a giant task if it thinks education is the answer to increase the amount of people who use the city’s bus network. In June, the Weekly revealed a government survey that highlighted half of the people who travel on buses did not have a car or can’t afford to run one. In other words, only half of those who use the city’s buses made a decision to leave their car at home. That means the buses are not

Elections a tamer affair as issues simmer not boil an alternative to driving for almost half of the city’s public transport users. The other alarming revelation is that hardly anyone uses the buses to get to and from work. Mid-way through its term, council faced a report from VicRoads about the city’s car needs for the next few decades. It recommended a semi-ring road, from Kangaroo Flat to the eastern end of the CBD. The problem was it cut a swathe through Quarry Hill, causing the only real public campaign of the past four years. Council listened to the redribboned protestors and rejected the idea, deciding to order a report into an integrated transport strategy, with all its untested ideas and theories. The future of transport – both public and private – is the closest to a barbecue-stopper issue the region and this council has had. The online Bendigo Weekly election survey highlighted this. More than 52 per cent of respondents ranked council’s performance in the area of traffic management as either poor or very poor. Only 2.8 per cent ranked it as very good. More than 42 per cent of respondents ranked a ring road as a great idea for Bendigo. Almost 20 per cent claimed it was useful and only 12 per cent said it was a waste of money. Despite this, only one candidate in this month’s election has put forward a plausible plan to address the city’s traffic. Others have identified it as an important task, George Flack has suggested a massive cross-like flyo-

ver that will never attract funding, and existing councillors have spoken about the work they have done on the current plans. Whipstick Ward candidate James Williams wants to link the smaller towns in the council by rail, but only one candidate has put forward an alternative policy to ease the pressure within Bendigo. Lockwood Ward candidate

KEY POINTS: Left, the Mitchell Street bus stop and, above, a protester makes their feelings known about the bypass.

Karen Corr, and engineer husband Chris, have put forward an idea based on rail. It proposes building five new platforms along the existing train line, including at Golden Square and Long Gully, to operate small trains, or glorified trams, as a light rail network. Ms Corr also wants to look at a plan to significantly expand the Talking Tram route. That plan would see a new loop

constructed from the Bendigo railway station, down Mitchell Street through to the rear of Rosalind Park, rejoining the tram line at High Street near the Tramways Depot. “The route could include up to nine new tram stops taking in some of Bendigo’s most iconic tourist attractions with stops servicing Hargreaves Mall, the Bendigo Art Gallery and Capital Theatre, the recently approved Bendigo Gaol Theatre and Dai Gum San and would provide more options for tourists to

explore the city,” she said. “There are many exciting transport opportunities for our city. “The trick will be to develop an integrated transport plan in partnership with key organisations to ensure the services and infrastructure are in place, complemented by a comprehensive engagement strategy to encourage the uptake of these services.” Next week, the Weekly will look at another area of need for the city’s transport network.

From 10am to 4pm, you can get a taste of Buddhist meditation in the centre’s peaceful Meditation Hall.

You can also join a guided tour of the Atisha Centre, and see how the Great Stupa is developing. The exhibition centre has holy relics on show, and visitors are invited to wander up “the yellow brick road� to the serene Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery. There are lots of early Christmas gifts to buy sourced from around the world, including a range of con-

LOCALS celebrated Seniors Week in style this week, with events continuing to run this weekend. Greater Bendigo mayor Alec Sandner launched the Bendigo Victorian Seniors Festival on Monday which featured more than 35 events.

T W E E T S of the week TWEETS this week centred on local announcements such as the Hargreaves Mall playground options, and a $60,000 plan to teach the community how to think big picture and council elections. However, you couldn’t keep this national, and uber local, news down. @jimmy_reade: Couldnt think of anything worse then the professional council bashers forum last night. If they r such experts why dont they run 4 council? @HeathcoteNews: Finally, some colour in the Mall. We might be on the road to solving this cold space. @Cafe38Bendigo: Looks awesome! I know my little girl will LOVE playing on something like this! @MichaelGToman: Finally! This is the #Bendigo Mall playground that should have been put in place 2 years ago. @TheWombatWho: A community truly organised around people is messy & chaotic. It is also alive, responsive and empowered. $60k won’t get this @LiveEcological: Today’s ‘real world’ is a product of yesterday’s thinking. @LaurenJChapman: wow!! Great to see steps taken to a more inclusive planning environment @BenCameron4: The Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival program is out, and boy, does it look solid. @BendigoTalks: Word on the Street: Jenny’s Kindergarten is coming to Strathfieldsaye @MarikaMcMahon: Thank you @ JuliaGillard thank you @KenningtonPS: Our Gr 3s are very excited to meet Olympian Hannah Every-Hall tomorrow!

Voting decisions vital NEXT week voters will receive a ballot pack for the Bendigo council elections. Sadly some will only vote to avoid being fined. Others will put scant consideration into how they vote. While some aged 70 years and over may not bother to vote as for them it is not compulsory. My advice to those over 70, especially who have family residing within the Bendigo council boundaries, is to carefully consider and vote. For it could determine which candidates are elected within their ward. Why? If you have children, or grandchildren who are residents within Bendigo council boundaries, particularly with a home and mortgage, or are intending to become a home owner, under the current majority regime of councillors, and there is a real danger of this continuing, there is one thing your family can be assured of – ongoing financial pain. For we have seen in the current four year term a majority of councillors consistently vote in favour of rate increases each year that are well above the CPI. Also voting in favour of budgets that rely on enormous increased borrowings. The priority for “all things big and beautiful” in the Bendigo CBD has resulted in disproportionate amounts of ratepayer’s money, especially those in outlying rural areas and small towns like Heathcote, being funnelled into Bendigo. It would not be so bad if there were efficiency and value for money. Alas not so. What some people who rent don’t realise, is rate increases are mostly passed onto them as part of annual rent reviews from their landlord. Most businesses pay council rates as part of their lease. Bendigo council has borrowed heavily and is deep in debt. Rates are planned to increase by six per cent for each of the next three years. For more of the same, vote the same! If not, vote for change. Colin Carrington, Heathcote

The voice of the minority ONE of the tenets of democracy is: “The majority should take into consideration the voice of the

minority in any decision making process.” The arbitrary removal of access to the Victorian Civil and Administration Tribunal for any objector is a loss of independence by that body and removal of the voice of the minority. I for one support the construction of the new 1000 seat theatre at the old Bendigo gaol – but not at any price, especially the right to object to government or administrative power. One cannot do good by tearing up the rights of the people, it is a slippery slope well used by dictators. VCAT was set up in a spirit of justice, which lies at the heart of the right to a fair hearing. Justice Bell in The Role of VCAT in a Changing World stated: “It cannot be denied that VCAT is an international high point of the process of tribunalisation and that the tribunal has enhanced both the strength and capacity of the Victorian justice system”. The argument used that the objector or objectors maybe frivolous, trivial and disruptive and cause the loss of funding from the federal government, by delaying the project is one fraught with danger from vested interests and government interference in the tribunal’s authority to hear disputes. A question for Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum,

Member for Bendigo Steve Gibbons and Planning Minister Matthew Guy– did they consider the use of alternative dispute resolution processes before denying or demanding the objector lose his or her legal right? I doubt it. Bill Collier, Golden Square

Lack of knowledge COMMENTS made by candidates for forthcoming council elections relating to the issue of public transport, Bendigo Weekly, October 5, exposes their total lack of knowledge of the issue. I found the comments of Cr Peter Cox in particular outrageous and demeaning, they reminded me of the segregated public transport system I used in South Africa 40 years ago. To claim the system is too expensive and not useable are laughable and proves those making the comments have never used the system. Compare the cost of $3.70 allday ticket with all day cost of $7 to park in council’s latest edifice the Edward Street car park, plus fuel costs and pollution emitted. I speak as a person who grew up with public transport, worked on public transport and have used the system in Bendigo regularly since moving to the city. I would also point out that all

public transport systems are designed to provide a service not a commercial profit. It would appear councillors Cox and Bruce Phillips prefer spending ratepayer’s money on a building designed to encourage the use of the car, rather than promoting a public transport system designed to reduce our dependence on the car. The public transport system is not perfect, but then neither is our system of local government, both can always be improved to provide a better service. While civic leaders around the world use their public transport system to promote their cities, in Bendigo they denigrate it. David Arscott, Kangaroo Flat

Flower boxes in the mall I’D like to see Bendigo council, position flower boxes in the Hargreaves Mall and have flowers growing all year round like they have in other areas of Bendigo. It would beautify the mall and maybe attract more people into that area of Bendigo. Jennifer J Mitchell-Sharp, North Bendigo

Time to think COMMITTEES for cities have been around for a long time, and they are increasingly popular as a thinktank to help shape planning for the future. Earlier this year, the Bendigo Weekly asked the question, why isn’t there a Committee for Bendigo? Geelong and Ballarat already have one, based on the Committee for Melbourne model, which has been around for 25 years. Bendigo has a strong manufacturing and business sector, and a university campus, which sets us up well to create our own committee or council. The creation of a

Editorial Comment kind of committee (they’re calling it, a little awkwardly, a “reference group�) may be the first step in the establishment of a Committee for Bendigo. Starting a little way behind the line, Bendigo: A Thinking Community has come up with a plan for a series of workshops to help us (50 participants) learn to think. Easy to be cynical. Even some

of those involved are aware that it sounds like quite an expensive exercise. But there’s a groundswell of interest and support – it’s clearly something an optimistic city like Bendigo can afford to invest time and effort into. We are, in so many ways, in a good place right now, so it would be wrong of us not to step up the pace and convert the enthusiasms into action – even if that action only involves our brains. Of course, the process needs to be robust enough to field queries and criticism. Don’t you think?

Comment Ted Coleman

Vote for those who favour review

OVER recent weeks readers will have noticed full-page advertisements, which I have authorised, highlighting trends in Bendigo council’s revenue and expenditure. There is another advertisement today. In editorial space last week, Cr Bruce Phillips attacked me personally over my attempts to bring accountability to the council in the form of an independent review. He described my work as “disturbing�. His attempt to sully my reputation and that of the election candidates who support a review, lowered the standard of debate. It is interesting neither Cr Phillips nor the council’s staff have disputed any of the facts in those advertisements. Instead, Cr Phillips notes I have never offered myself for election to the council, the inference being one is not entitled to comment unless one runs for office. He knows better than that. My personal life prevents me standing for council, and that is my business. I make my community contribution in a different way, and stand by my claims, professional analysis, personal record and volunteer work. Cr Phillips and some other councillors seem to want immunity from

public scrutiny whereas an independent review of council operations offers a positive path forward for the community’s benefit. Budgets for the current council’s four-year term, and its projections for the next three years, show rates, charges, rubbish, borrowings and staff costs shooting through the roof; some up by 70 per cent. The graphs in the advertisements display that clearly.

basis. It is only when you analyse council documents over a number of years that disturbing patterns emerge. An independent review would identify opportunities for improvement. Council’s excuse for no review is it is subject to government agency compliance audits (basically tick-the-box activities) and conducts staff and consultant assessments. Each,

Neither Cr Phillips nor the council’s staff have disputed any of the facts While basic services and flood damage wait, current councillors propose to raise rates for even more CBD projects. Residents and businesses cannot afford councillors who demand more. Council does do many things well, and is pleased to receive praise. Conversely, there are many things that council gets wrong, and then goes to considerable lengths to hide that knowledge. One only needs to think of the reluctance to reveal the $4 million Hargreaves Mall cost overrun; near one year’s rate increase. Councillors consider finances on a year-by-year

though useful, fails to review the organisation as a whole. I do not have council’s large staff but have put significant effort into collating data to inform Bendigonians and highlight the need for a review. I’ll let the community judge whether that is negativism. Since council amalgamation 17 years ago there has been no independent review to see how things are going. Good businesses do this as a matter of course around every eight years. A review looks for efficiencies, productivity gains, improving priorities, how to eliminate

wasteful duplication and make cost savings year-onyear – $1m to $5 million – and better services. It considers matters like council’s structures, plans and budgets, management and staffing, strategies, and community involvement. Reviewers collate information from council records; hold public meetings; interview councillors, staff and residents, receive submissions and the like. A review report then sets out improvement recommendations. Councillors decide follow-up actions. Good, competent staff would have no trouble assisting this process, and have nothing to fear. The new council would determine the review brief and select an accredited experienced firm to conduct the review. It’s a transparent public process that offers a sound base for councillors and residents to use in planning our city’s future. Transparency is something that is sorely lacking at the present time. I urge Bendigonians to vote for candidates who favour a review; candidates who recognise there is room for improvement. In short, candidates who believe that the council can do better.

NATHAN BOWES has a hand in the making of every pie that leaves the Elmore Bakery. After completing his apprenticeship in Bendigo, he bought the business three years ago. This year he decided he was ready to enter the Official Great Aussie Meat Pie Competition. His aspirations paid off fivefold with the bakery receiving an award for each entry put forward. Each year, thousands of entrants submit four samples of each pie with competition staff then selecting the best three for judging. Judges look for a nice, even bake on the pastry, with no charcoal or burning on the bottom. The finished pastry must be the correct thickness, not too thick, and not too thin. Ideally the finished pie should have a 2mm to 3mm base thickness.  To come away with an award for all five pies entered was a thrill for Nathan and partner, Dee. Their pizza pie received a gold medal, the lamb and rosemary pie a silver medal while the steak, Mexican and bushman’s pies were all awarded bronze medallions. “This was the first year we’ve entered so we’re extremely happy to come away with a gold medal. It was such a thrill to have success in every category we entered,� Nathan said. “Our cheese and bacon pie used to be the most popular, but now it’s the pizza pie.� Nathan, with one apprentice, produces a range of 13 gourmet pies with average daily sales of up to 200. Not bad for a town with a population of only 668. Nathan attributes much of the bakery’s success to Elmore’s location. “Our reputation has spread by word of mouth. Three major highways converge at Elmore so there are always lots of caravanners and travellers calling in,� he said. “Pies are our speciality but we make great bread, cakes and pasties as well.� Fortunately, Nathan loves working nights; he starts baking between midnight and 4am each day depending on orders. “I just love the trade. I don’t think I could do a day job, I’m so used to being a night owl,� he said. The Elmore Bakery is at 104 Railway place, Elmore. -Vicki Harrington

Pre-paid offers peace of mind

RE-PAID funerals offer peace of mind. They are designed to remove the stress of decision making often left to family members or executors. They empower you to make the decisions about the type of funeral you want by making all the relevant arrangements and paying for them at today’s prices. This ensures you have the comfort of knowing your funeral arrangements have been finalised and are fully guaranteed. When you Prepay your funeral with Bendigo Funerals, your funds are placed in a capital guaranteed Funeral Bond which is a requirement under the Funerals Act in Victoria. The Victorian Government first introduced Pre-paid Funeral protection in 1993. Funeral Bonds are specific investments developed for pre-paid funerals and comply with the investment requirements of the Funerals Act 2006. Friendly Society Funeral Bonds are one

of these Investments. They are exempt from the Deeming Provisions and Assets Tests associated with Centrelink payments and are not assessable in terms of Taxation. Once a Funeral Bond is established it cannot be redeemed for any reason or by any person until the death of the individual named on the policy. The Bond itself will accrue interest which will offset the inevitable rises in funeral costs over time. This interest is not deemed to be part of your income. At Bendigo Funerals they also guarantee that should the realisation of the bond upon your death result in funds surplus to those required to cover your arrangements, then those additional funds will be refunded to the client’s estate. It is also possible to pre-pay your funeral by instalments, either monthly or at intervals that suit the client. Although not a fully Pre-paid Funeral as such until all payments have been made, all

funds lodged and interest accumulated are available to be used for the client’s funeral whenever the death occurs. When paying by instalments, prices quoted are subject to change over time until the final payment is made. Another option is to make your funeral arrangements without making any payment. Although the funeral costs may not be covered the details of the funeral you want are recorded and a Memorandum of Understanding relating to your requirements is produce to ensure your family are fully aware of your requirements. Pre-paid funerals are not funeral Insurance – funeral insurance is a product where you pay a regular premium for a benefit, if you stop paying you are no longer entitled to a benefit and there is no accumulation of funds over time.

By the Book

Ramona Koval Text,$29.99 RAMONA KOVAL has been such a part of the literary firmament that her silence last year when the ABC did some “schedule changes” came as something of a shock. But all is not lost. Kavol is back with us again and in the milieu she so loves – the written word. By the Book is an excursion into her private world of reading. This is not so much Koval’s public response to an author but a considered personal account of how books have affected her at various stages of her life. And because Koval was the daughter of Jewish-Polish Holocaust survivors, much of her reading has been skewered towards a European perspective. She introduces us to authors who we may not have encountered before, here in the sunny climes of the antipodes. One particular writer she introduces us to is Joseph Roth. Born in 1894 in the Ukrainian city of Brody, he is renowned for his novel, Radetzky March as well as his journalism. Intensely interested in politics, Koval says Roth approached it from the sidelines and she describes his prescience when writing of the Third Reich, as “heartbreaking.” Another writer of particular appeak to Ka-

BY THE BOOK: Ramona Koval. vol is the Jewish-American short story writer Grace Paley whose family arrived from the Ukraine in the early 20th century. “Her voice, formed in a family that spoke Russian and Yiddish, immediately resonated with me, making me laugh and cry.” Paley’s other appeal to Koval is her “genius for containing a world within a sentence.” Koval’s identity does not totally dictate her reading; many of her preferred authors have relevance simply because they reflect her interests. A science graduate, Koval is a huge fan of Oliver Sacks whose medical writing embraces human perception, illness and the way we live with our illnesses. Koval is enamoured of the oeuvre of the

Antarctic explorers and the writings of Robert Scott and Ernest Shackleton. While the writing of both men is moving and the dangers they encountered palpable, she rates Shackelton as the superior writer. In all her comments on her favoured authors, the observation which resonated with this reviewer was that not only does art imitate life, but life imitates art. We not only learn from reading, says Koval but “we make our lives through the stories we tell ourselves about the things that happen to us”. In other words, the words make us, not we make the words. Now that’s something to ponder next time you cuddle up with a nice cup of tea and a good book. – Dianne Dempsey

WE NEED YOUR DONATION NOW.

13 SALVOS (13 72 58) salvationarmy.org.au

In contrast to Cr Bruce Phillips’ comments in last week’s Bendigo Weekly, I believe there is an overwhelming view that Greater Bendigo council would benefit from an independent public review of council’s operations. I believe that council does not have an entrenched culture of productivity improvement and even if this is not an issue it is prudent to undertake external reviews in particular when you are spending other people’s money, to gain the maximum outcome for those people. Some examples where improvements can be made include: • A study of the $14 million increase in wages over the past four years. • Spending of $4 million on consultants annually. • Major projects overspends with projects incorporating all related expenditure as a consequence of that project. • Acceptance of unfunded superannuation liability of $25 million which will increase over the years ahead. • A waste and garbage cost of $16 million which is 10 per cent of the council budget. It can be done differently while preserving the service as it is. • Overspend of departmental budgets without reference to council. Such a review will enhance the city’s credibility and put it in a strong position to cope with the city’s growth. Rather than threaten staff, a review will highlight their contribution and perhaps give them more responsibility rather than give it to consultants. I agree that council is doing a lot of things right but that is no excuse for not

having a review. Cr Phillips asks you to support deep thinking, well informed candidates. He recently advocated for an annual rate increase of a minimum of 5.5 per cent without letting readers know that council’s rate base is expanding dramatically. This is because of new developments and increased valuations for all sectors across the city providing council with a windfall of funds to expand services and plan for the future. With council rates, electricity, gas, water and sewerage charges all rising consistently there needs to be scrutiny at all levels. Cr Peter Cox, Eaglehawk Whipstick Ward candidate

Comments a disgrace

THe comments made by Cr Bruce Phillips in the Bendigo Weekly, Friday, October 5, 2012, “Would you like to waste $1m?” are a disgrace. It appears Cr Phillips does not want the public to be aware of the staggering percentage increases in rates, charges, costs, wages and staffing that the current Greater Bendigo council has imposed over the past four years and what it has in store for us for the next three years. He bags the person who collected and informed us of the disturbing trends. He dumps on the idea of an external independent review that can save residents up to $5 million a year, then calls the candidates who support that idea “... puppets with shallow thinking and unrealistic expectations”. none of the new candidates were “recruited”; they had the facts put before them and made their own decisions. Voters have the right to know where candidates stand on the one

Last week in the Bendigo Weekly Cr Bruce Phillips wrote an opinion piece concerning the idea for an independent review into Greater Bendigo council. The letters below are a response to that view.

issue that is being talked about in this election. Only the new council will make the final decision. Good businesses subject themselves to the scrutiny of external reviews as a matter of course. Why should councils be any different? The city is growing, but not all within the centre – outlying rural areas and suburbs seem forgotten. An independent external review will make Greater Bendigo council more accountable, find savings and make significant improvements in services and infrastructure for all residents. Voters need to think long and hard about a chance to get some balance back into council. George Flack, Eaglehawk Eppalock Ward candidate

Off the mark BRuCe Phillips’ opinion piece about a review of council and his personal attack on Ted Coleman’s integrity is off the mark, and warrants a response. It is telling that Cr Phillips has not disputed Ted’s facts, and for a very good reason, they are true. It is information the Greater Bendigo council has failed to publish. Council ignored well-founded advice from Ted regarding revenue and cost trends that have proven to be true and created the need for a review. Councillors Cox and Ruffell strongly supported that position and proposed the independent review in council. The internal reviews Mr Phillips prefers have the following qualities – they find what they wish to find, and ignore what they

wish to ignore. It is a bit like the accused investigating themselves, then passing judgement on their case. Cr Phillips refers to $1 million “yearly” savings. His view that an independent review is costly and won’t recommend anything new, is astonishing. Cr Phillips had no problem initially approving $200,000 to fix just one Hargreaves Mall screen that no-one wants. Perhaps that was part of the $1 million saved? Cr Phillips states he agrees to borrow funds and have “future ratepayers”, (our children?) repay them. This behaviour of “Borrow money and don’t worry about the repayments” is the very cause of the Global Financial Crisis. What is it this council doesn’t understand about excessive borrowing? Cr Phillips would know not everybody has the desire to be a councillor but that does not mean they cannot be involved. This puts a very different light on Cr Phillips’ statement: “I am a good listener”. It appears Cr Phillips is a good listener only when he agrees with the message. I, for one, had not spoken with Mr Coleman until I became aware of issues he exposed. Mr Coleman has not recruited me or any other candidate, the allegation is baseless. Over half the candidates are in support of the review, with two undecided and, true to form, five current councillors opposed. Mr Coleman’s information throws light on important matters; V wants to snuff out that light. Karel Zegers, Lockwood Ward candidate

PHILLIPS, Bruce

ZEGERS, Karel

THE time for real change is now. Like you I am a resident of our ward. I am dissatisfied with the performance of council and how it spends our ratepayer dollars. We need to better support our Lockwood ward people, families, communities, local businesses, clubs and organisations. I pledge to hold regular ward meetings where you can have your say. I pledge to be accountable and approachable, working to deliver projects on time and on budget. I will work to make council more efficient, effective and economic in all it does. I will not support a rate increase next year.

I LIVE at Maiden Gully, been a Bendigo resident for 22 years, and, operate businesses, at Maiden Gully and Strathfieldsaye. I am a civil and municipal engineer, with an MBA. I previously managed major road projects throughout Victoria and held executive positions with the State Government. I have served as a Bendigo City Councillor for a total of five years in the former Grassy Flat and North West Plains Wards. I have been Chairman of the Calder Highway Improvement Committee, and Regional Library Board and also served on committees concerned with Regional Planning, Art Gallery, Exhibition Centre,

THE way Bendigo Council has managed your money is unacceptable. During previous Council elections, I expressed concerns about soaring Council rates increases. In four years, rates increased 21 per cent and Council’s borrowings rose over 150 per cent, (to $24 Million) mainly to support CBD projects, and are budgeted to increase. Council is not run efficiently or economically. If we ran our households or businesses similarly we’d be broke. The never-ending rate rises must stop. Elect councillors who will halt this trend. An external Review of the Council must be undertaken to give councillors and ratepayers independent advice.

I will support an external review of council. I love our ward and want to see it prosper. With 16 years experience in business, sharp negotiation and mediation skills I would be honoured to be your voice. Vote 1 Elise Chapman, for real representation and a fair go for everyone.

Festival fever for rock ’n’ rollers

GLAD RAGS: Bev and Rod Tuckerman with Bill Freeman and Jane Withington. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN By STEVE KENDALL

THE Hargreaves Mall will be rocking its bobby sox off later this month when the Jailhouse Rockers take over for the day. As part of a three-day Rock ’n’ Roll festival there will be live music, dancing and classic cars to name just a few events, with stores joining in dressed in style. The Central Victorian Chinese Lion team will be in attendance too, so there

will be plenty to see and do. The free event at the mall on Saturday, October 27, will be surrounded by other themed activities. The Festival proper kicks off on Friday, October 26 at the Strathfieldsaye sports club with a supper dance from 8pm to midnight. On Sunday, October 28 from 10am to 3.30pm there is a day of activities featuring Jump ‘n’ Jive to wind-

down after the festival. Tickets for the whole shebang cost $50. The Bendigo Jailhouse Rockers Club was formed in 1996 to bring together likeminded fans of dance and music. “I love the style of dance,” club vice-president Bill Freeman said. “It’s a great social atmosphere.” Club treasurer Leanne Dunlop is a big fan too. “I love being able to

dance with my partner,” she said. Apart from the festival, the club has a busy calendar of events throughout the year. “Come and try rock and roll dancing at St Andrew’s Hall in Myers Street on Monday next,” Leanne said. “That way you’ll be partly ready for the festival at the end of the month.” To find out more call Leanne on 0417 134 556.

HANDS ON: City versus Metro.

Health in mind BENDIGO’S Tom Flood Sports Centre hosted a football match with a difference this week. Local footballers representing Vic Country lined up against Vic Metro for the annual match to raise awareness of mental health. The teams were made up of people involved with

Reclink Australia, a charitable organisation whose mission is to provide sporting, social and arts activities to enhance the lives of people experiencing disadvantage. City of Greater Bendigo mayor Alec Sandner was on hand to present the players with medals.

Hang on for the big ride Steve hears the call of the wild and steps into the election arena

I HAVE hit the campaign trail. Buoyed by the excitement of council elections, I have put my hat in the ring for a public basting. I have steered clear of Bendigo, plenty of willing souls there, instead I have stuck my name on the list in Mount Alexander Shire. That’s the part of Victoria due south of Greater Bendigo which takes in Castlemaine, Maldon and Taradale among many other towns. I care about what happens in my area. As readers of this column will know I care about many things. Cats and sheep and a fair go for all. That said, let me tell of the saga to date. After nominations the calls started to come in. As a novice to the game I was surprised by the calls from other candidates searching out preferences. All normal and above board, but at first it seemed strange to chat to the people you are directly opposed to. To tell the truth, all in my ward are decent people and I have met them on a number of occasions to

STEVE KENDALL ON LIFE

share the experience. As I’m in an outlying ward, I will not be flung too deep into the fray of Castlemaine if elected I thought. Wrong. The whole shire is the responsibility of the councillors. With sound backing from council staff the councillors will lead the way. Quite scary really, seven people will come together from different areas of experience to run the show. Realistically, anyone who is prepared to put their head above the parapet to observe the row over the Old Castlemaine Gaol and the pokies will need a broad range of experience, the hide of a rhino and the patience of a saint. Must remember to put that in my campaign speech. “I have the hide of a rhino� has a certain ring to it. A lot of people who know me have questioned my sanity. The ABC’s Fiona Parker said “are you mad?� and the local ABC won’t let me back

on the Tuesday Chat until it’s all over. I have become a different person in the eyes of some. Still mad, but different. Of course there are the expected gags from colleagues of “hello councillor� but I am sure they are more to annoy than for any real reason. Well, the voting papers

are out now, so I best start my campaign in earnest. I have been seen with some MPs and at important events, I have printed up some flyers and done a mail out too. I have spoken at forums and answered questions from various groups with an interest in the outcome of the election, and have knocked

on a few doors and had cups of tea. But I think I will plan a different attack than usual. The signs by the side of the road promoting candidates is a bit old hat now. I will surge ahead with my call for election with the slogan of my campaign I have decided while writing this.

Vote 1 Kendall: I have the hide of a rhino. Now all I need to do is find a rhino who will be able to handle a keen candidate on his back riding through Castlemaine. That will make the news. Written and authorised by Stephen Barry Kendall, 187 Minogues Road, Metcalfe East

THREE brothers and a friend make up the Rubens, a band on the rise to all things great. With a gentle nudge up from Triple J, the band has come a long way from recording their first song in a bedroom. “I had no Idea what I was doing,� lead singer Sam said. “That’s probably what gave it the raw sound.� It’s pretty lucky to be able to pull a band together from within the family, but Sam said it just fell into place. “We all played instruments so it seemed sensible to form a band,� he said. “We all played something different too.� It doesn’t sound like there would have been too much of a row anyway. “We’re not the kind of brothers who fight all the time,� Sam said.

The Rubens visit Bendigo next month for a gig at The Star Bar. “We like playing the smaller venues,� Sam said. “It’s far more intimate. “On the larger venues there’s a barrage out front and you’re removed a bit from the audience.� Such a thing won’t be the case on November 8 at the Star Bar. The Rubens will still be hauling their own kit for the Bendigo gig, with Sam saying “It’s a bit wanky� to have a road manager. “People like to see us set up ourselves anyway,� he said. Touring is a busy time rather than a party time, with the van to pack up after a show, there’s rarely time for more than a few beers. Sam has a lot of praise for radio station Triple J. “Things changed after we started getting airplay,� he said. “People knew who we were for one thing.

What’s on... Saturday, October 13 Freemason View: Ceremonial Freemasonry in Bendigo and opening of newly refurbished Masonic Centre, 4.30pm at 99 McIvor Road, Bendigo. Bob Jones will officially open the Bendigo Masonic Centre refurbishment. At 5.30pm guests are invited to witness the Open Installation ceremony for Master Elect Richmond Foster. 7pm Supper with the new Lodge Master.

“They have been good to us, and have continued with that support.� Sam said some bands are bitter over the station, generally those who do not achieve airplay. “I think the station uses its power well,� Sam said. “It is still weird when I hear our music on the radio, I assume it’s just a CD at first.� Things have seemed to move quickly for the Rubens. “We still jump around and leap up and down when good things happen,� he said. “Next month we’re supporting the Black Keys in New Zealand, we love the band, so that will be great. “Then next year we’re off touring in the UK and US.� But before all this they’re in Bendigo. The Rubens play the Star Bar, Thursday, November 8 Stickets: $20 from www.moshtix.com.au

A Looong way from home WHEN the Chinese first participated in the Bendigo Easter Fair and its procession in 1879, with borrowed costumes and regalia from their Beechworth counterparts, their place in the procession was not at the end as it has been the custom now for a very lengthy period. There were many other mining centres in the colony of Victoria during the 19th century which had the active participation by their Chinese populations. They came in some form of processional display in aid of a variety of charities. Dare I say it, Ballarat had along with Beechworth, Ararat, Maryborough and St Arnaud a far more active response by their Chinese towards the charitable institutions in their locality. In the case of Bendigo, the organising committee of the Easter Fair in 1879 showed their appreciation towards the Chinese residents for their participation by presenting them with a framed banner in acknowledgement. The tradition of having a dragon as portion of the Chinese contribution to the Easter Procession did not begin until 1892, when the first dragon had been commissioned to be manufactured in Guangdong for the parade. There was a lot of hon-

A Chinese dragon is imbued with many different qualities hand to watch the unpacking of this new marvel. Over the ensuing eight years from 1892 a number of other dragons were imported and brought to Bendigo.

Come and fly a glider MOST people enviously look up at the sky to see birds gently and silently gliding through the air. Many dream of joining the birds, but for a lucky few the dream is reality. To fly in a glider is probably the closest humans can get to flying like a bird. A 30 second winch launch to a height of 2000 ft leads to one of the purest flying experiences possible. By seeking rising columns of air called thermals, the

glider gets lifted to ever greater heights from which it can make long distance journeys. Bendigo Gliding Club will be holding an Open Day at its Raywood airfield on Saturday, October 13 from 11 am to 4 pm, where the public can view gliders on the ground, get information and take air experience flights in the club’s PW-6 two seat training glider.

qualities just like the spirit of the animals which help to create its head and body. Some may say that the head of a dragon is one which has been designed by a committee. There are the horns or antlers of a deer, the neck of a snake, the protruding ears of a cow, scales of the carp with their mirrors to reflect away evil. The tiger is portion of the sign in the Chinese zodiac. Its paws form part of the feet, the talons or claws of the hawk are there as well and the head of a camel. The rabbit, a symbol of prosperity for the Chinese, has contributed its eyes and finally there is the belly of the frog. Bendigo’s oldest surviving dragon is Loong, which is a southern Chinese term for dragon. Loong was manufactured in Guangdong by Sing Cheung. Loong is regarded as an imperial dragon, which is the highest status that can be attained. The evidence is in the number of claws on its feet, five on each. The dragon, Loong, did not always appear as part of the Easter procession. There are quite a number of occasions where banners, embroidered canopies, costumed individuals and musical instruments were put into the parade by the Chinese.

Fresh cooked to order

BROTHERS Kieran and Greg Wiener put a lot of thought and planning into what makes a good takeaway and cafe business. As such, they decided their new business would first of all be in clean and newly renovated premises. They have spent several months renovating the cafe so that it is now in an immaculate condition. The position of their shop was also an important factor. Hammer Street is in a convenient location which services many people in the immediate area, including many seniors. Of course their priority has been to provide good, freshly cooked food. Their batter is gluten free as are the Edgell chips which they use. They have a huge menu selection which includes roast chickens, dinner packs, salads and fish. The fish ranges

from flake to butter fish, blue grenadier and barramundi. They’re also proposing to do short-term specials, such as snapper according to season. Not only is the food freshly prepared but the brothers offer an ideal solution for families who want convenient food at an extremely reasonable price. For a mere $5 they deliver food up to a 10 kilometre radius. An obvious solution for busy families is to give them a ring and put in a phone order for dinner. Those folk who hold a seniors card will also benefit from a 10 per cent discount. Let Kieran and Greg become part of your family as they regularly supply you with delicious, feshly cooked meals. Their shop is open from 11am to 8pm everyday except Mondays. EFTPOS is available Ring them on 5443 3506.

A LEAKY SEAL COSTS YOU MONEY Domestic & Commercial Fridges Freezers

FREE Commercial Appraisal

L

OCAL Seal-A-Fridge technician and proprietor, Craig Foxwell, explains why there is a need to change your refrigeration seals. “Don’t throw away your old fridge or freezer, by replacing the seal, you can give them a new lease of life.� In most circumstances the need to change will be obvious. The seals will be broken, split or torn. The motor will run longer to help keep the fridge cool, because cold air is escaping out of the leaking seals. A sign of this happening is an increase in your electricity bill, or ice building up quickly in your freezer. Other signs can be food going off quickly or water leaking from your refrigerator. Mould could also build up on your seals which is an indication that air is passing

through the seal. Food and drink spillage can often rot the bottom seal of your fridge. For commercial customers Seal-A-Fridge offers a free seal inspection service to detect any problems. They also replace commercial cool room, under counter fridges and cold room door seals. Seal-A-Fridge’s mobile service will come to your home or business to replace your fridge seals. Yes they have been called Seals on Wheels. They also provide door alignment, clearing blocked fridge drains, installing of new hinge washers (to raise the height of the door), hinge adjustment and light bulb replacement. Phone 13 14 79 and speak to Craig and Michelle Foxwell at Seal-A-Fridge about a perfect seal today.

Further details will be in the next newsletter.

Spring insects bring up the fish

L

OCAL fly fishers have a spring in their step. The hot/warm weather of our current spring has stirred up the insects in reservoirs such as Barkers Creek reservoir. Over the past few years and during the drought many concerns were raised due to the lack of insects such as mayflies, caddis flies, dragon flies and damsel flies. Even the omnipresent midges seem to have switched off or disappeared due to the lack of water in our reservoirs. When it did finally rain we had a very wet and cold winter with some very frosty

A different venue is scheduled for cod opening this year with a trip to the Edwards River outside Deniliquin planed staying at Viewbank for the first weekend in December. Cabin accommodation is limited so first in best dressed, otherwise a swag or tent will suffice.

FLY FISHING

JOE SINGE nights. The good news is that as soon as the weather warmed with the changing season the insects returned. Just two weeks ago Greg Shelton was fishing at Barkers Creek reservoir on a warm cloudy day when he discovered mayflies hatching. The hatch started about 11am and finished about 2pm. Later in the day there was a hatch of Orange Spinner flies. Only a few fish were feeding on the hatching mayflies but this is often the case until the trout discover the new food source.

If past history is any indication then I would expect the midday hatch to continue for most of October. Depending on the weather I used to think that the Bendigo Show weekend was often the time of the best hatches. While there are some fish surface feeding at Barkers Creek reservoir, they are proving difficult to catch. Many members have been having a frustrating time casting to the rising fish but not getting any response to their flies. Bob Evans has seen a large quantity and wide variety of food in the lake. Mayfly nymphs, mudeyes, shrimp, caddis larva, adult mayflies, dragon flies and damsel flies to name a few. This of course should mean that the trout stocked last year have a terrific

supply of food and should grow quickly in coming months. Barkers Creek reservoir seems to have survived the drought and is returning to the “insect zoo” that we used to call this very productive reservoir. We are looking forward to the summer and autumn fishing at the reservoir. Those wanting to cast a fly this year, should, also keep the other local reservoirs that were stocked in the Drought Recovery stockings, in mind.

AST week more than 30 members attended the Bendigo Legion Angling Club annual general meeting at their usual venue at the Kangaroo Flat RSL Hall in Station Street. A larger turnout than usual for an AGM ensured a few new faces volunteered for several positions on the committee, which is always a welcome sign. Rob Tankaskovic a former committee member and tireless worker behind the scenes is now the BLAC’s current president taking over from the capable and amicable Maurice Knight, who kept the club on an even keel for the past two years. Under Maurice’s presidency the club experienced a surge in popularity and now boasts more than 100 financial members partially due to Maurice’s friendly nature and willingness to ensure the club catered for both the more experienced and novice anglers. Dartmouth Dam an hour east of Albury in the Mitta Mitta Valley was the destination for 15 keen anglers earlier this month with John Telford looking after trip captaincy duties. Dartmouth was originally regarded as a mecca for high country trout decades back but a prolonged drought and dwindling water levels along with the corresponding decline in

selling a cat or dog? 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.

Emu Valley Cricket Association – Division 1

raring to go after a wet start After the disappointment of the first round washout the emu Valley Cricket Association clubs will be hoping for better weather this weekend, for the beginning of round two. After sharing the points in the rain-affected round one, all 10 sides will be raring to go for what is the opener to their 2012 division one campaigns. Golden Gully are at home to Spring Gully with Brad Webster gunning for victory in the Cobras’ first home game of season 201213, while ricky Mannix will have Spring Gully primed for some early season victories. Axe Creek go up against West Bendigo at Longlea, with Jamie Morgan hoping the Cowboys can fire early on their home deck and put some pressure on the West Bendigo’s new leaders in Andrew Sharpe and Dion Prange. At evolution Oval Maiden Gully take on last year’s fifthplaced Sedgwick. Mark roberts will be looking to some of his experienced campaigners to lead the way and get Maiden Gully’s season off to a fly-

ing start, while Dustin elliott will look to build momentum in order to move up into the top-four at season’s end. Meanwhile, newly appointed Mandurang skipper Warrick Behrens will be looking to get their premiership defence off to the perfect start with victory over a Marong side that will be looking to the top of the table after last season’s third placed finish. In round two’s final game United are at home to emu Creek with forbes Klemm hoping to pick up an early away win, while emu Creek will be trying to improve on last season’s disappointing finish by posting an early victory. All games start at 1.30 pm on Saturday.

Richards pushes through By JOEL PETERSON

THIS off-season was a successful one for Bendigo Spirit centre Gabe Richards. At the end of the 2011/12 WBL season she underwent surgery on a knee injury that afflicted her for most of the Spirit’s campaign, and went on to win a premiership with Mount Pleasant in the Heathcote District Netball Association’s Agrade competition. Even with her troublesome knee, Richards had an impressive 2011/12 campaign, and has translated that into an even more encouraging start to this season, amassing 40 points and pulled down 21 rebounds in two away wins at the weekend. “It’s great to have found some early form,” Richards said. “I was freaking out a bit after the surgery because last year, while we didn’t have a lot of success as a team, I was able

to put together some pretty good games. “It was stressful halfway through this year not knowing whether my knee was going to be able to hold up to WNBL standard and whether I could perform like that again, so it was really pleasing on the weekend to see I can still do it.” Getting through the netball season was one thing, but the 27-yearold said the WNBL presents an entirely different challenge. “I really enjoyed my time at Mounts, and to have one of my Spirit teammates in Andrea (Wilson) come out and play made it even better,” she said. “I played goal shooter in the netball season, so there wasn’t a lot of running involved, but to have games like on the weekend certainly gives me some confidence.” In the Spirit’s two come-from-behind wins over Adelaide and West Coast in round one, the

FINE FORM: Injured Gabe Richards had a good year. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN 188cm Richards – who plays her 100th Spirit game against West Coast next Saturday – said the way the team started the season was fantastic. “That road trip to Adelaide and then Perth is a nightmare, and getting two wins was a little bit surprising,” she said. “It was very, very pleasing to see the way

the girls went about it, and it’s a great start to the season for us.” This weekend the Spirit face two more tough tests, playing Bulleen at the Veneto Club on Friday night before facing reigning premiers Dandenong on Saturday. Richards knows they will be two tough assignments.

“They’re both really big teams, and really athletic teams,” she said. “If we play the kind of defence we did last weekend it will go a long way, and we also have to take care of the ball. “We pride ourselves on working as a team, and we’ll definitely need a full team effort to get across the line.”

Mick and the media

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Mick Malthouse.

MICK MALTHOUSE knows a thing or two about dealing with the media. The newly-appointed Carlton coach spoke about that very issue, among others, at La Trobe University on Wednesday night. In front of a crowd of around 150 people, Malthouse was interviewed by ABC Central Victoria presenter Ann Jones about a range of topics, including his dealings with the media and his views on leadership. Known to occasionally have little patience in press conferences, Malthouse joked he had “never had a run in with a reporter”, and explained some of the more difficult parts of dealing with the press. “When I get up on game day I go through my routine, have break-

fast, go to the ground and there are a million things going on,” Malthouse said. “Then after the game you’re going through a de-brief and there’s a knock at the door, and you need to go and speak to the media who assume you’ve spent all day thinking about them.” The three-time premiership-winning coach also shared his thoughts on what makes a good leader, and the difference between a “made leader” and a “born leader”. “Sometimes players come in to a club, with a lot of talent, and people look at them and think ‘he’s a good player, he must be a good leader’, and they get thrust into things they can’t handle,” he said. “Take Nick Maxwell for example, he’s

not the best player, but he’s Collingwood’s best leader because he has belief, goals, and he won’t be compromised. “Those qualities make good leaders.” While delivering some fascinating insights, Malthouse did have a slight slip-up in not knowing where his new side finished on the ladder in season 2012. “I’ve had to deal with some adversity as a coach, when I went to Footscray they were near the bottom, West Coast were 11th when I got there, and Collingwood were last,” he said. “Now I’m going to Carlton who finished... I don’t know exactly where in terms of ladder position, but we have some work to do.” - Joel Peterson

NEW COACH FOR LADY BRAVES THE search for a new Bendigo Lady Braves coach is over, with current Bendigo Spirit assistant coach Jonathan Goodman taking over the reins of the SEABL club in season 2013. Goodman was also a Spirit assistant last season and is the current head coach of the Victoria Metro U16 team. Bendigo Lady Braves legend Andrea Walsh was widely thought to be the frontrunner to take over the mantle vacated by Lukas Carey, who resigned at season’s end. Goodman, who was announced as coach by the Bendigo Basketball Associaton this week, said he is excited to be involved with the Braves. “I’m really stoked to be involved with a quality club,” he said. “I wanted to take the next step in my coaching and coach in the SEABL, and knowing the reputation that the Lady Braves have made it easy to put my hand up. “The focus for the next little while is to find out what things have been in place, and to talk to all the players from last year to see where they’re at.” Another of the newly-appointed coach’s missions is to improve the relationship with the Bendigo Spirit, something he hopes will be made easier through his involvement with the WNBL club.

TOMORROW is a massive day for the Bendigo Rowing Club. Not only is the 2012 Bendigo Sprint Regatta taking place on the waters of Lake Weeroona, the club is celebrating its 140th anniversary. A special guest will be London Olympian Hannah Every-Hall.

Every-Hall, who finished fifth in the final of the women’s lightweight double sculls in London, grew up rowing with the club, and was coaching some of the club’s current members on Wednesday afternoon. “This is exactly how I got started,” she said. “It was a school thing and one of the coaches told me I should be the cox, because I

was too short to row, which I love quoting him on. “It’s great to get back and help out rowers who are in a similar situation to what I was, just coming down a few nights a week and having a go.” After a busy couple of years of working her way back from illness, the birth of her two sons and training for the Olympics, Every-Hall said this

year was about having a break and concentrating on Harrison, 5, and Charlie, 3. “Harrison started school this year, and it’s only just been now that I’ve been able to meet his friends and their parents, so that’s been really nice,” the 34-year-old said. “I’d love to go on and keep rowing until the Rio games in 2016, and my husband is fully supportive of that, so this year

will be a break and I’ll reassess later.” With all that has gone on in her competitive life, EveryHall has fond memories of the Bendigo Sprint Regatta. “I’ve competed in at least eight as a junior and a senior,” she said. “It’s the best regatta, even in Melbourne the regatta has a massive following. “Because it’s a short

course, most are around five times as long, and no one is super fit at the start of the season. “It’s a really popular Regatta on the state scene.” The Bendigo Sprint Regatta starts at 9am on Saturday, and the 140th anniversary celebrations begin at 7.30pm with former members, supporters and friends of the club invited to attend.
