NBN taskforce pushes for early broadband rollout

Pop out for fun

FIRST BYTE

EAGLEHAWK’S McKern Skate Park will host a major skate and BMX competition as part of a community family fun day planned for Sunday, October 16. The event will also include a skate clinic, as well as giveaways, cash prizes, a jumping castle, animal farm, and a free sausage sizzle.

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THE clock is ticking down on Bendigo’s opportunity to get in early on “a new way of life�. “Our number one goal is to bring NBN to Bendigo sooner and we think we have about eight weeks in which to influence them,� Bruce Winzar said this week. “NBN will be rolled out eventually but this will mean instead of three years it will be here in the next 12 months. “We have to make a strong case that we are ready.� Mr Winzar is chairman of the steering committee of representatives from Bendigo’s business, health, education and development sectors. They are working with the City of Greater Bendigo to present a case to the National Broadband Network company to “move Bendigo up the list� for the rollout of pipes and cable. Mr Winzar, who is executive director of information services at Bendigo Health, said broadband will usher in a “new wave of technology� which will change the way everything is done, from virtual health services to how you order a pizza. “The benefits will flow to all areas,� he said. “It’s estimated that by 2020 there will be 50 billion smart devices and sensors connected to the internet. “Technology is faster and smaller and cheaper, and our lifestyle is saying anything we can do to make our life easier we will start to use.� Retailers have recently begun to offer plans for home users for 50Mbs download

and 20 Mbs upload (on average at least double the speeds currently on offer) for less than $100 a month. “It will be competitive,� Mr Winzar said. “As more retailers come in you will expect it to sharpen the price. “If NBN came to Bendigo, we could have multiple retailers offering services and the price will come down.� Mr Winzar said the committee and council strategy for the NBN business case in Bendigo will be based on “significant differentiators�, such as health (with the new hospital as trump card), education (with La Trobe University a strong regional presence), and development (with all new residential estates NBN ready since January this year).

“If council comes up with a strong position about how we want to see our city as a strategic ICT centre or smart city, developers are ready to go,” Mr Winzar said. “Already we have homes that are potentially NBN ready, the pipes are in. “NBN are certainly looking for customers, either in numbers or in bandwidth people are using, so if NBN could roll into Bendigo and provide, say, 500 homes with immediate accesss, that’s a significant uptake for them from day one. “If they locked away the university in one hit, that’s a really big pipe so there’s a log of bandwidth there, as well as potential customers. “We also have our own telco here, and I’m sure they are interested in where NBN fits into their business.” Mr Winzar said the steering committee will meet again in a fortnight, and hope to appoint a “significant lobbyist” shortly after. They will pitch their case to NBN executives in November, and are hoping to hear early in 2012 if they have been successful. ““There’s no doubt the NBN national audit would have identified where potential hotspots are, but this is about influencing them so say that, if we’re number five on the list, we want to be number one.”

Cheer for homeless Businessman plans pub revamp for needy

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

A BENDIGO businessman is planning to turn a run-down Eaglehawk pub into a multi-roomed boarding house in response to the crisis in low-rental accommodation. Ivar Hunt owns Inside Outside (The Crown) in downtown Bendigo, which rents out rooms to people declared homeless. He has also recently opened rooms in the Rose of Australia hotel at Long Gully, housing singles and people with children who cannot find or afford rental accommodation in Bendigo. Mr Hunt said this week he has plans before council to renovate the Vic (also known as the New Vic) on Eaglehawk’s most promi-

nent main street corner. He wants to turn the existing building into 28 rooms, with a small bar and a bottle shop to operate at the back. “It’s an alternative to the caravan park, the bottom end of rental accommodation,� Mr Hunt said. “If you’ve broken up with your partner, or something like that has happened in your life, you just want the cheapest bed you can get. “It’s only us and Dower Park (caravan park) really who will take people from Haven.� An accountant from Adelaide, Mr Hunt and his wife run several other businesses in Bendigo, in-

flannelette shirts about the place�, but most of the people who move into boarding houses are just wanting to get on with their lives. “People think these people are idiots, and when there’s an armed robbery or something, we’re the first place to get hassled,� he said. “But the majority of people who rent from us are just battlers, blokes who have had a fallout with the missus and need somewhere cheap. “The big thing is I see it as an area where the demand is, and it complements my other business.� Haven, formerly Loddon Mallee Housing Services, has centres in

Bendigo, Swan Hill, Mildura and Robinvale which, during the last financial year, dealt with more than 1000 clients a month. Mr Hunt said his planning application “ticks all the boxes� in City of Greater Bendigo’s development strategy. “The Vic is an eyesore, and all I want to do is find a way I can fix it up,� he said. “People say things like, people like that should be able to find accommodation in the community they come from, but if they end up in a doss house in St Kilda, that’s not the way it should be. “The people who move into my rooms say thanks for what you’ve done for me, but I say, thanks for renting my room.�

Grand Final breakfast is on the horizon NORTH Melbourne premiership players Anthony Stevens and Darren Crocker will be the guest speakers at Bendigo’s inaugural AFL Grand Final breakfast to be held at the Platinum Room on Saturday, October 1. The event has been organised by Emma McKern as part of her entry in Horizon House’s Rising Light competition, an initiative which asks young people to com-

pete to raise the most funds for the charity. Emma says she hopes to get as many people involved with the breakfast as possible. ‘’It’s for a great cause, and all proceeds go to the Horizon House, helping young homeless people have the lives they deserve,� she said. The Horizon House project is aimed at meeting the long

term needs of disadvantaged and homeless young people in the local region, by providing life skills development, education, counselling and socialisation opportunities for young people to break the cycle of homelessness ultimately reducing dependence on the welfare system. The AFL breakfast will be held on Saturday October 1, from 8am-10.30am at the Plati-

num Room, 366 High Street, Golden Square. Tickets are $55 per individual or table of 12 at $50 per person, hot breakfast included and lots of fun, prizes and giveaways. Limited seating is available so book your tickets soon. For more information and ticket sales contact Emma McKern on 0403 138 503 or emma@ mckern.net.au

BENDIGO Health has apologised to North Bendigo residents for not providing sufficient notice of its plans to build a $25 million accommodation complex in Atkins Street. The Bendigo Weekly understands some nearby Arnold Street residents did not receive notification until the day it was announced (last Wednesday), while one resident did not discover the complex was being built at the rear of her property until she saw a story in the Weekly. A Bendigo Health spokesperson has apologised for the error. “Unfortunately the people we contracted to do the letterbox drop did the wrong area and we are still trying to work out how this happened,� he said. “When we were alerted to the error late Monday afternoon, we organised the drop to be done in the right area at 8am the next morning. “We are very early in the planning process of the project and are actively seeking input in relation to this proposal. “If our letterbox drop had worked, the residents would have received information prior to reading it in the paper. “All we can do and have done is apologise for the unfortunate mistake and continue dialogue between anyone who has a question or concern.� Bendigo Health has conducted two information sessions: the first the night before last Wednesday’s official announcement, and Tuesday night this week.

Bendigo is gearing up for a big snake season so remember the rules

Leave them alone By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THERE’S a simple rule for identifying snakes in the Bendigo region, says reptile expert Simon Watharow. “Don’t try to go by its colour because most people muck it up anyway,” the author of a new book Living with Snakes and other Reptiles said this week. “All you need to know is 99 per cent of the time it’s going to be venomous. “Stand still, the snake will eye you off to pick its moment, and go away.” Recent hot days have brought out the snakes, and with predictions that the bumper year for mice and frogs will mean an equally bumper year for the reptiles that feed on them, both sightings and scary snake stories are ramping up. “We’ve had no pets in yet with snakebite,” vet Joanna Reilly from Bendigo Animal Hospital said. “But we are expecting it to be a bad year.” Ms Reilly said last year, because of the wet summer, the number of cats and dogs brought in with snakebite was only about two a week. The year before, they were averaging almost one a day. Already this year, there have been reports of people bitten by snakes in Victoria. The case of the man bitten on his arm at Sunbury on Monday puzzled Mr Watharow. “I’m not sure how that could have happened, unless he tried to pick it up by the tail,” he said. “Most people are bitten either treading on a snake or trying to kill it. “He also did the wrong thing going to his local GP instead of phoning 000.” Mr Watharow reinforces the message that snakes – even the tiger snake – will flee rather than confront. “Serious snakebite usually occurs when someone deliberately interferes with a snake or when they try to

Ms Reilly said more than 80 per cent of cats and dogs bitten survive, so long as they are brought to the vet promptly and if the pet owner is willing to pay for anti-venom (about $1000 for a cat, $1500 for a dog). She said the signs of a snake bite include dilated pupils, frothing at the mouth, shaking, and paralysis. The bite of a brown snake will take effect more

vet and doctor can use. Mr Watharow, who has started up a magazine called Australian Wildlife Secrets, has dozens of stories about snakes, some that bust the myths, others that prove them to be true. For example, it is true that snakes, particularly red-bellied blacks, do climb into the undercarriage of cars. He once was called in by a very frustrated Mercedes Benz owner who had all but stripped his car to try to remove a snake that had taken up residence and which would emerge to sun itself on the dashboard. Mr Watharow’s solution was to remove it in the early morning, before it had become

• Most snakebites happen when people (or animals) attack the snake: never try to kill a snake • If you see a snake in Bendigo, you can assume it is poisonous: there are anti-venoms for different snakes so it does help if you can tell the doctor or vet if the snake was black or brown. • It is not true that snakes are attracted to saucers of milk.

For most people, it is the possibility of harm to children or pets that leads them to panic slowly than that of a black, she said. “Snake bites are more potent in the early summer, when the snake is sluggish still,” Ms Reilly said. “Keep the pet quiet as possible, and call ahead so the vet can prepare the antivenom for your arrival. “Try to get a look at the snake (as there are different anti-venoms available) but don’t try to catch it.” If the kind of snake isn’t known, there is a combination anti-venom that both

hot and nasty. It is not true, however, that a saucer of milk is a way to lure a snake. Mr Watharow teamed up with a serum laboratory in Adelaide to test 100 snakes for their partiality to a saucer of milk – and not one showed any interest. They weren’t prepared to test the ethical position of depriving the snakes of water for more than a day to see if that would make the milk more attractive, but one day without water

brought the same result – the milk was of no interest. Years of observing and handling snakes have taught Mr Watharow to think like a snake, which comes in handy when he is called by a panicking householder. “You assess the situation by thinking, I’m in a yard, the dog’s tried to bite me, I’m fleeing for my life – where would I go? “I once went into a shed full of all kinds of stuff, and I’m standing there thinking, if I was a snake, where

Quiz a fundraiser

IF you’re a Golden Vine regular, or just a bona fide quiz nut, this is an event you can’t miss. To raise much needed funds for 22-year-old mother Tiffany Murray, who is suffering with an inoperable brain tumour, The Vine will host a trivia fundraiser from 2pm this Sunday. Ms Murray, a former employee of Mark Elliott, owner of the iconic Bendigo pub, was flown to St Vincent’s Hospital last month to remove one of two tumours on her brain. Surgeons were able to stop the bleeding and remove a majority of one of the tumours, however she’s since learnt the other one is inoperable. Tiffany is currently being treated at the Andrew Love Cancer Centre in Geelong, with her fiance Leigh Sutton, and

FUNDRAISER: Tiffany Murray and Milla. 11-month-old daughter Milla by her side. “You have to be determined, otherwise there is no point. I think if you’re not going to have a crack then why bother,” Tiffany said.

Despite this incredibly tough period, she’s staying typically positive. “It’s just the way I roll. You only get one life so you may as well have a good go at it. “It’s a waste of time being sad

and depressed. There is no point.” Surgery had left her with no peripheral vision, but she said it was slowly improving. “I was told after the surgery I might not be able to talk or walk and I could be blind,” she said. Tiffany is hopeful Sydney brain surgeon Charlie Teo could be her white knight. Dr Teo specialises in operating on cancerous tumours, however an estimated $60,000 is needed before he can operate, and a further $40,000 for ICU care. So local quiz masters and Golden Vine regulars, your support is needed. Entry is $10, bookings are essential, and there will be light refreshments and live music. Call The Vine on 5443 6063 for more info. Donations can also be made at the Bendigo Bank.

child health, out of school hours care, early childhood services and parenting programs. “This is a state-of-the-art facility which I am confident will be a focal point for local families for decades to come,” Ms Lovell said. “It will allow a large number of local children to attend an early education and care facility close to home, and help their families to get the support they need as their children grow.”

HE’S GOT THE POWER: Ross Blade needs more electrical engineers and CAD designers to ramp up his diversifying business.

Electric car man is well switched on By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

WHEN his electric car business in New South Wales kept coming up against political speedhumps, Ross Blade looked south. His battles to make the Blade Electron Australia’s home-grown car for the future continue, but the Castlemaine-based teacher-turned-innovator is determined not to let the setbacks stop him. “I’m not going to be put out of business quietly,� Mr Blade said this week. “The gloves are off.� Mr Blade opened his workshops at Castlemaine’s Wesley Hill four years ago. He chose the town because, as the hot rod capital of Australia, it has strong automotive engineering skills on tap. What he needs now are more electrical engi-

neers and CAD designers to ramp up his diversifying business. Last week, Mr Blade announced a joint venture with Chinese lithium battery manufacturer DLG and IRES Asia Pacific. They plan to develop

It is easier to avoid it if it is not on your plate. 4. Ask for all dressings/ sauces to be served on the side. Substitute creamy salad dressings for vinaigrette. Be

aware of the hidden ingredients and sugars that can be included in many sauces. 5. Assess serving sizes in relation to your palm size and approximate handfuls. If the servings are too large ask for a side plate to place excess food on and have it taken away immediately. 6. Substitute more of one thing for less of another. If your meal is served with salad and chips, ask to substitute chips with more salad. 7. If you cannot resist ordering something for dessert, try ordering a black coffee or go for the cheese platter instead of cake/sweets.

Between two cultures

STORYTELLER: John Charalambous.

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

takes the reader to France during the First World War, unravelling a family myth about a soldier killed in action. Two Greeks is set around 1974, and brings vividly to life a former Australia, where racism was unquestioned, and where the only way out of a marriage,

“It’s a story about a child who wants desperately to believe� This was the time when Charalambous’s passion for writing began to find the time to develop. “Despite my longstanding interest in fiction and a few short stories published in little magazines 20 years before, I was starting from scratch,� he says. The first novel, Furies (UQP, 2004) looked at centuries of the “blind hope� that has people dreaming of the good life in the country. Silent Parts (UQP, 2006)

even when it was awful and violent, was a long, embarrassing process of proving guilt and blame. One of the key moments in the episodic description of life in Hampton is when the narrator’s mother hears about the new no-fault divorce, and realises her own life can change. Charalambous describes it as a novel about the clash between mother-culture and father-culture, and about the shifts in gender relations

during the 1970s. “Ultimately, however, it’s a story about a child who wants desperately to believe in the providential wisdom of adults,� he says. Charalambous will soon complete his honours year at La Trobe University and he hopes then to do a doctorate, focussing on the writing of the Americans Walt Whitman and William Faulkner. “I’m a hybrid,� he says of his own relationship to his parental cultures. “I don’t feel Greek, and my father denied a lot about his past, but I would dearly have loved to have gone to Greek school. “This novel is a kind of ‘what-if’.�

SOME writers mine their own family history from the start, but John Charalambous took 30 years and several books to confront his own childhood. The son of a Greek migrant and an Anglo mother, Charalambous was brought up in the solidly lower-middle-class Melbourne suburb of Hampton, which he describes as a kind of suburban island in the middle of the city. While it picks and chooses from the people and events of his own life, Two Greeks contains many scenes that fall with powerfully nostalgic force from the pages of a suburban family photo album. “I saw it played out in my own family, the dynamics between a Cypriot father and an Anglo mother,� Charalambous says. “And my own family did disintegrate, although I was in my 20s, where the boy in the story is 10. “I decided my own personal identity issues were idiosyncratic but what so

many people can understand and relate to is the sense of relationships.� Charalambous moved to Bendigo from Wangaratta four years ago to go back to study. He trained as an art teacher and taught for 13 years in Wedderburn before he and his wife Evalyn moved first to Glenrowan, then to Wangaratta, where they ran a garden business.

Courting disaster

Bendigo desperately needs a new courthouse. The current building, while beautiful, in unsuitable and unsafe for modern law. in the first of a series about the law, MARiKA McMAHon, partner in law firm o’Farrell Robertson McMahon, looks at why the current courthouse is unsuitable for family law. She paints a picture of overcrowding, no privacy and a dangerous lack of security. ThE Federal Magistrates Court comes to Bendigo on circuit three or four times each year. while most people who find themselves in a relationship breakdown are able to come to an agreement regarding their arrangements, about 200 cases each year form the list of cases to be dealt with at circuit in Bendigo. Those cases can be regarding the division of property or arrangements for children, or both, and will have at least two parties. in about one third of all cases, there will be even more parties such as the independent Children’s Lawyer for the children or maybe other extended family members. There are significant advantages for the parties in having their case dealt with on circuit. Avoiding having to travel to court in Melbourne, the ease of turning up to court somewhere you are familiar with and the fact that having your matter determined locally can be less expensive are some of the benefits. however, the lack of appropriate facilities at the Bendigo courthouse, is now meaning that many of those advantages are being diluted by the second-rate facilities that family law matters are enduring during circuit. For matters to be dealt with on an interim basis there will be up to 50 cases listed on the one day of circuit. The vast majority of the cases are dealt with by the lawyers negotiating agreements, but that can still mean many people at court for their matter at the one time. Add to that a couple of dozen lawyers and other professionals involved in the cases and you very quickly have a very crowded foyer outside the courtroom. There are no private confer-

ence rooms so that means a party has to discuss their case with their lawyer, perhaps considering the offer from the other side, in the foyer at the Bendigo court. That is often within full view of the other party and more often than not within hearing of many other people sitting and waiting. Those conversations are usually vitally important, maybe evaluating an offer just received from the other side, maybe evaluating how a particular piece of evidence is going to go in court. They are conversations that are the basis of vital decisions – decisions that could dramatically effect a person’s financial future or the wellbeing of their children. Lack of privacy is not the only limitation affecting family law matters in the Bendigo court. No security facilities mean not only concern but risk for parties in family law matters, particularly in matters where there is a history of family violence. The physical conditions, in particular lack of appropriate heating and cooling is particularly difficult for the busy family law list. The acoustics in the court chamber are dreadful, hearings are often slow due to the need to repeat things that are not heard and often a party walks out of court with little idea of what just happened as they have not been able to hear much of what was said. This arrangement needs to be contrasted to what is available if the case is dealt with in Melbourne, where private conference rooms are available where advice can be received and considered in confidence, the court amenities are appropriate and there are suitable security arrangements in place.

Steps to improved fire service This District’s CFA volunteers welcome the independent findings of the Jones inquiry, which we believe point to a more effective fire and emergency service. Volunteers of this district took part in the inquiry through written submissions, regional consultation sessions and discussions through their representative association, Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria. The Jones inquiry‘s independent findings validate the major concerns that CFA volunteers have raised repeatedly over recent years. The inquiry’s report points to the need for a steep change in the leadership approach and culture of CFA, greater transparency in decision making and genuine consultation with volunteers on matters that affect them. The report also calls for more easily accessible training, full utilisation of qualified, experienced CFA volunteers from the front line to command roles in incident management teams, recognition of volunteers’ training and experience when applying for employment with CFA, and the removal of barriers to administrative support for volunteer brigades. The next step needed is an implementation plan and the monitoring of progress on the Jones inquiry’s findings. Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria is ready to work with the state Govern-

ment to get that important work under way on behalf of this district’s CFA volunteers and their local communities. Peter Thompson, President, VFBV District 2

Marriage hysteria iT was deeply disturbing to read the fear-based hysteria expressed recently by three anti-marriage equality correspondents, namely, Messrs Arscott, Keogh and Robertson. The claim by David Arscott that “heterosexuals can no longer claim to be happy and gay”, despite his attempted wit, actually borders on hatespeech, as does the general tenor of Keogh and Robertson, in their basic premise that a significant proportion of our community should not be entitled to the basic human rights of respect, dignity and equality before the law that is taken for granted by everyone else. Marriage equality for same-sex couples poses no threat to traditional, heterosexual marriage. Religious institutions will always retain their right to decline to marry same-sex couples. Just who are the strident minority insisting that their demands be met here? The inequality within the current Marriage Act sends the message that discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation is acceptable. it is a licence to hate. This is borne out by consistently higher rates of har-

rassment in workplaces and schools, and hate-motivated assault (“gaybashings”) against same-sex attracted people. Young, newly “out” people also experience higher rates of drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, early school leaving, conflict with peers and parents, mental illness and suicidal ideation, directly related to the discrimination and prejudice they encounter. This is a social disgrace which must be remedied, and an end to legislated discrimination in the guise of reform of the Marriage Act would be an important step in achieving this. Marriage equality simply represents a genuine fair go for all Australians. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Bendigo Ahead has been about just that… Bendigo moving ahead. There’s no doubt Bendigo has a glowing future, or that the city is well placed to capitalise upon the opportunities that may arise as we continue to prosecute our claim as the leading regional city in all of inland Australia. Bendigo is by any measure a leading centre for education, the arts, industry and commerce. Likewise, our health sector, which only continue to grow and improve as the city’s ever-changing and worldclass health precinct continues to take place on the fringes of the central business district.

Editorial Comment our recreation and sporting facilities, especially at Epsom, the Queen Elizabeth Oval and at Strathfieldsaye. And we have much to be proud of, and thankful for. But today we report on a different view of one of the more challenging and confronting issues our city faces, namely, the issue of homelessness. The major agencies and organisations charged with dealing with homeless people throughout the Bendigo region do an outstanding job with the limited support and resources they have available to

them, but it’s the shortfall in meeting the demand for support that has prompted one local business owner to get involved. It’s always been easier to throw money, and energy, at the good projects, and it’s always been a struggle for agencies charged with managing the tough issues to obtain the resources, support and funding they need to make a big enough difference. But Bendigo cannot claim to be truly moving ahead unless it manages to resolve all the issues and challenges on its plate, including gritty ones such as homelessness, because resolving this city’s homeless issue is a shared responsibility for all of us.

Theatre a ‘lost opportunity’ THE City’s $12.3m Regional Development Australia Fund contribution towards a $26m 1000-seat theatre is a lost opportunity for Greater Bendigo. I am not against a theatre or Bendigo Senior Secondary College’s curriculum and facility needs, or council’s art of leveraging dollars; rather I question processes and assumptions, and argue a second theatre should not have been the City of Greater Bendigo council’s first RDAF application. With good will, I suggest Bendigo had higher priorities. Firstly, after reading the RDAF guidelines, a theatre does not come up to the mark. RDAF’s aim is to, “... expand the development and growth of regional economies”. Its priorities are – skilling Australia; lifting productivity; maximising the opportunity of broadband; sustaining our environment; social inclusion; and water and energy efficiency. Secondly, RDAF favoured projects that supposedly had significant community support. This jail project had no

Councillors never met to approve the application. As secretive as ever, council officers refused to release the application. So much for ‘community engagement’. Residents had a right to an analysis.

Swept off their feet at gallery By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

WHAT started as hope turned to optimism in the build-up to the opening of The White Wedding Dress exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery in August. Director Karen Quinlan and her staff were quietly hopeful visitor numbers for the blockbuster show could get close to their best-ever exhibition, The Golden Age of Couture. Now, half-way in, they are beginning to allow themselves more than hope: they are confident Wedding Dress will not just get close, but surpass their best-ever. “To date, we’ve had 27,400 through the exhibition itself, which is tracking better than The Golden Age,” acting director Leanne Fitzgibbon said this week.

“And because we now have in place our pre-booking system, we have already sold 32,000 tickets. “We had 1000 through last weekend, our busiest so far.” Ms Fitzgibbon said the gallery researched audiences before a show but could only guess at how people would react. “It’s always a step into the unknown,” she said. “I do love the buzz when you go down into the exhibition, the excitement, how pleased people are to be there.” Data collected so far shows that about 58 per cent of visitors are coming from Melbourne. Other statistics show that almost 50 per cent of these people went to a restaurant or cafe during their visit.

Almost 80 per cent of visitors are female, and 46 per cent are aged between 36 and 55. “We have been pleased with the number of young people coming through,” Ms Fitzgibbon said. “We purposely included the work of designers such as Romance is Born, and that has made it attractive for young people. “To see the way the wedding dress has developed over quite a short time, it’s actually quite shocking.” Ms Fitzgibbon said the gallery was about to ramp up its activities for children as part of the White Wedding Dress exhibition, during the school holidays. “It’s all a bit girl-focused, but we’ve been able to find a few activities to slant it towards boys too,” she said.

“It stands for good, solid values you couldn’t do better than that� in a city like Bendigo it is useful to have a commercial core,� Mr Seddon said. “The school holidays keep us in business but it’s the workshops that sustain us.� Mr Seddon took on the CEO role six years ago, at a

destination attraction in Bendigo to rival, for example, Ballarat’s Sovereign Hill. Mr Seddon said that is both a disadvantage and an advantage. “We have a beautiful city with this range of attractions,

all under the Bendigo Trust name. “It stands for good, solid values – you couldn’t do better than that.� The workshop recently added a big shed to the back of the heritage-listed depot site as part of the $3.1 million restoration project which began in March. When work is completed, a new shop will welcome visitors at the front of the site, and tours will recommence in the workshop which houses trams from all over Australia. Mr Seddon said the official opening will be December 9, and the workshop tour of the newly restored buildings will begin the following day.

REMEMBER that vexed and ultimately doomed plan to extend Bendigo’s iconic historic tramway to do a loop of Lake Weeroona? The affable Canadian former rugby player with the dodgy knees who oversees the Bendigo Trust has not entirely consigned it to the “never ever� basket. Likewise the push to run the tracks up View Street, to deliver tourists to the Art Gallery’s door. Still on Tom Seddon’s wish list. But having turned around the fortunes of the Discovery Centre and reinforced Bendigo Tramways’ position as the his-

toric workshop centre of Australia, Mr Seddon knows that it takes steady strength to score tourism tries. “None of our tourist attractions are big enough to be commercially sustainable, so

Bell on the move AN important piece of Bendigo Health history has been returned for inclusion in the New Bendigo Hospital project. The hospital bell has called St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in Myers Street Bendigo home since the original Bendigo hospital building was demolished in the 60s. The Right Reverend Andrew Curnow said the bells of St Paul’s Bendigo arrived in 1873 and were installed ready to ring for the first time on Good Friday that year. “In 1963 the bells were returned to London for recasting, leaving the church without its famous call, it was around this time that the Bendigo hospital bell tower was being demolished and the hospital bell came here,” he said Bendigo Health executive director New Bendigo Hospital David Walker said the organisation was grateful to the people at St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral who have offered this goodwill gesture, which would also help Bendigo Health provide a significant link between our history and our new world-class regional hospital. Local demolition experts Accurate Demolition were charged with the task of safely removing the bell from its current location and delivering to Bendigo Health where it will be stored for inclusion in the New Bendigo Hospital project.

Prospectors chase gold THE Bendigo Prospectors are ready to roll. This weekend, teams from Goulburn Valley, Werribee and Gippsland will descend on South East College Stadium for the Disability Sport and Recreation Wheelchair Basketball Tournament. And under the watchful eye of World and Australian Cham-

pion para athlete Jason Sleep (or “Legless”) the Bendigo Prospectors basketball team will contest the round robin competition The Bendigo team is a mix of youth and experience, and disabled and able bodied athletes. Tip off is from 10.30am with Bendigo taking on Werribee.

fleece clean and making sure the animals are happy and healthy. This all leads to the Royal Melbourne Show. Alouera Alpacas have been breeding alpacas for five years, specialising in the rare grey suris. Alpacas named Bossy Mossi, George, Maximus, Storm, Matilda and Lizzabeth will be

hoping to return with a few ribbons to help them to head to the Nationals in Sydney. Storm and Matilda recently received first and third for their class in the Bendigo Colourbration. Juniors will be judged on Monday, October 3, and adults on Tuesday, October 4.

FOODfossickers Atlantic giants become a popular crop

Pumpkins add weight to show By VICKI HARRINGTON

THE Bendigo Exhibition Centre will be bulging at the sides on the weekend of April 28 and 29 next year. It will be housing the annual Australian Chrysanthemum Championship, the Goat and Produce Fair, and for the first time, The Biggest Pumpkin Challenge. Competitions for producing the biggest specimens are rapidly growing in popularity. “Giant pumpkins grow in much the same way as smaller varieties, they just grow much bigger,” organiser of the Bendigo event, Brenda Leed said. “Don’t plan to serve giant pumpkins with a roast – they are not much on taste and texture,” she said. The world record was claimed in Canada in 2002 with a monster pumpkin weighing in at 657 kilograms. Brenda anticipates growers will bring their pumpkins from interstate for the Bendigo challenge. “We will have sections for

both adults and children with cash prizes and trophies for the winners,“ she said. “If you plan to enter your fruit, you really should be getting ready to plant your pumpkin seeds now”. The competition varieties are not available at your supermarket seed stand but Brenda has some good quality Atlantic Giant variety seeds available for sale at a cost of $1 per seed including postage. “Be sure to purchase a few back-up seeds, lest a hungry slug or snail chomps your solitary plant off one night. Remember, one slug and it’s gone,” Brenda said. She has her own special way of starting the seeds in a used soft drink bottle for added protection from the slimy marauders. To receive Brenda’s growing tips and buy seeds, phone 03 5439 480 mobile 0400 544 358 or email scud1@impulse. net.au. Brenda will accept payment in $1 postage stamps or money order.

Pirate in at the Depp end

As my enforced beard growth drew attention from Mrs K, I took solace in looking like one of her heroes WHEN I was an idiotic young man of 18 I cut myself shaving. A lack of experience and perhaps a touch of over enthusiasm produced a nick dead-centre on my chin. This was annoying to say the least. As it healed I caught it with the razor again, and again. Before I knew it I had a permanent fixture. Granuloma I think the medicos call it. Since then I have had to guide the razor carefully, every now and then cutting myself again. So finally 32 years later I made the decision to have the thing removed. A small decision... why so long? My doctor seemed quite pleased to be able to get at me with something sharp, a 4mm punch biopsy instrument as you are asking. It was last Friday. As the light was so bright I was able to close my eyes during the whole procedure. Mrs Doctor told me to stop talking a few times. I was nervous. The job was soon done

STEVE KENDALL ON LIFE

and I had a stitch covered by a massive dressing and the wonderful instruction “Don’t get it wet, no shaving for a week.� To a lazy tyke like me this is a real bonus and I

“Don’t get it wet, no shaving for a week� looked forward to the luxuriant growth of the red beard I remembered so well from my mid 20s. I warned the long suffering Mrs Kendall a beard was to appear. She is no big fan of them, and has banned me from day one. So I knew I would be in trouble on the home front.

Nothing new there then. On Sunday Mrs K noticed. “Why the grey beard? You look like a pirate.� I came back with the suggestion that I resembled Johnny Depp. The gorgeous Johnny has the kind of looks which make women of all ages go weak at the knees, I was playing my trump card. Mrs K wavered at the thought of having Johnny Depp in the house, maybe I was going to get away with this after all.

V W H N F L W

No chance. “He hasn’t got a grey beard,� she said, always the observant one. For the rest of the day I was hounded with accusations of being an old pirate. “Where’s the parrot?� was one of the more obvious queries. This alongside references to crutches, pieces of eight and hook hands. I bet Vanessa Paradis isn’t this horrible to husband Johnny, then again he has made a fair few bucks as

a pirate in the caribbean. As for the grey beard... last time I had a beard it was a mixture of black and red, a brindly mix of my Celtic ancestry. I suppose I can claim grey in my ancestry too. I remember my grandfather had a full head of grey/white hair into his 70s. Not such a good call though is it? So for one week, and one week only, I will be walking around Bendigo with a scar on my chin and a patchy old

beard which makes me look like I have been thrown off the ship as too old to be a pirate. Come the day this weekend the big shaving event will be a joy, and on Monday I can return to the anonymity of not looking like a larger, older less-sexy version of Johnny Depp. All I can hope is my own little Vanessa Paradis at home will manage to stop the wisecracks of: “Ohh arr, Jim lad,� in best salty seadog style.

Habitat Native Plant Company, a long established wholesale plant business, opens as a retail nursery

THE Bendigo live music scene continues its upward trajectory, thanks to some serious moving and shaking along Hargreaves Street. Last month, the Music Man Megastore relocated to the premises of the old Red Mosquito, while The Corner Venue will officially open on October 7. Formerly known as The Pub, The Corner Venue will be a true live local for Bendigo music fans. “Music in a lot of places is just an add on,” owner Gavin Fisher said. “A lot of pubs are about pokies, great meals, and that’s great, but we’re all about the music. “The local music scene has come alive again, and we want to be part of it.” With two bandrooms, both to be named after two iconic Bendigo musicians, the venue will feature a range of acts, covering anything from solo artists to large scale bands. “Each night will be like a mini concert,” Fisher said. “With Anita Donlon as our primary gig booker, we’ll call on her industry contacts to bring music to the venue.” Donlon said a stage in the main room will be named after industry veteran Greg Clarke, who managed tours of Rose Tattoo (who play the venue October 15) and Billy Thorpe. Also while the location of Music Man Megastore has changed, the vibe remains the same, according to owner Paul Tzount-

Something to chew over

JOHN BAKEWELL, the man who owned a store in Irishtown as well as being the water rates collector of the Bendigo Water Works Company, had the good fortune to possess a large garden of vegetables, fruit trees, ornamental shrubs and plants. I have previously mentioned the problems in early Bendigo with marauding dogs and goats. To any gardener goats were an anathema, as the experience of Bakewell will show. In the autumn of 1868, a sarcastic report appeared regarding Irishtown, beginning as follows: Yesterday evening some pleasant occurrences took place in this picturesque suburb, the originators of this shindy being as usual those delightful pests the goats. It appears that several of these predatory animals made a raid on one of the gardens in that locality, and were caught in the act by the proprietor, who proceeded to catch them with the assistance of the functionary whose agreeable duties it is to march such offenders to the pound. Apparently in the process of the goats being hauled away in a cart, the owners of these horned, cud chewing animals,

The auction is run by Memorabilia Magic of Melbourne who together with Pratty’s Patch owners and other local sponsors, are supporting the auxiliary for the second year. Auction items are varied to suit all tastes, including AFL, motor sports, racing, boxing, cricket, plus selected donated kitchen ware and toys.

JAMES LERK protested most vehemently and tried to secure their animals from their now imprisoned status. The owners were objecting that the fences around John Bakewell’s garden were not all that secure, so what else could their goats do than to be tempted to devour all the things that according to them were on offer?

Some of the neighbours of the owners of the goats used their tongues to excess, in particular the women folk. The language that flowed so freely from their mouths should not be heard by anyone except the most foul-mouthed bullock drivers. The abusive language used at the time of the goats being taken away was typical, according to some observers, of what could be regularly overheard during disputations in Irishtown. A volley of stones followed the cart taking the

three weeks’ imprisonment. The Bakers’ Arms Hotel, in 1873, was the venue for the inquest into the death of a miner, 70year-old James Webster, a widower with no other family, according to the White Hills Cemetery sexton Garrett Brennan. An apprentice of coach builder Mr Flood, Patrick Abberton gave evidence that he had known Webster who had up until recently earned an existence in tinkering, as he had originally been a tinsmith. Abberton, while on his way home from work

was passing Webster’s weatherboard hut near the gas works, upon hearing some moaning, noticing him lying on the floor. Webster’s poorly clad and emaciated body was in a very dirty state. When it was discovered that he had died, a search of his premises revealed caches of gold sovereigns, bank notes and a large quantity of silver coins. The inquest found that Webster had died of disease of the heart and kidneys which had been accelerated by the lack of proper nourishment according to Dr James Boyd.

The goats bleated mournfully as they gradually disappeared from sight. Daniel Daley was duly summoned by John Bakewell for abusive language and the damage which had taken place in his garden.

Bakewell avoided the missiles that were being thrown, but one innocent bystander was hit by a Tipperary musket, much to that person’s chagrin. A comment was made that when the Irishtown inhabitants wish to partake in this style of warfare they should be more accurate in their aim.

perience. Two hundred yearold red bricks burst through white plaster; street lanterns jut from walls; animal sculptures made from wax and other materials greet you from nooks and crannies. New vinyl records and serious pop books wink at you, while a carpet of astroturf offers itself to your feet.

You’re greeted with quite the design experience The accessories are pieces sculpted from all manner of everyday things (forks, spoons, etc), not the usual generics spewed from a Chinese factory. Then there are the clothes… When we meet, I ask Kane whether he thinks clothes can be considered wearable art, especially given the quirks in the design of the many he stocks. He pauses, genuinely trying to answer, not sound evasive. “I can’t say I think about it that much”, he laughs. “I know that sounds weird, but I try to not get hung up about the colours, trends, and what we do here. “We wanted to bring a taste of Melbourne and Sydney to Bendigo, but without

all the attitude (read BS) that goes with it”. Now 25, Kane spent a lot of time dreaming – and researching – before opening The Meadow. “I’m a big dreamer!” he laughs. He and Matisse wanted to bring a boutique to Bendigo that meant people didn’t have to travel to Melbourne to find good labels. And create a space that, while well-designed with a particular aesthetic, was inclusive and not exclusive. To create a community. He cites Robe in Chancery Lane as being one of the early local ground breakers. “They paved the way by bringing labels Bendigo had never even heard of here,” Kane says, paying dues. “It was risky”. Has he then regionalised that kind of handmade, slick, inner-city chic that is automatically afforded to big cities? “Definitely!” he agrees after we wrestle with the many paradoxes that go with opening a perceived cool clothing venue in a country centre. “Design would be my outlet” he says, thinking further. “But I’m really a country boy at heart. I don’t really go out or drink, I’m into family, I like the footy – I’m a bit dorky really!” Sure I smile, just a really well-dressed one… The Meadow donates $8 from every BAST T-shirt sold to a men’s charity, which changes every 10 weeks. $866 was raised in its last campaign, going to the Motor Neurone Disease Association. www.inthemeadow.com.au

I RELISH meeting those with the courage to back themselves. Especially people determined to make it work in their home town when the odds could be stacked against them. Such can be the case in the arts and related areas, living in regional Australia. Attitides are hard to shift, creativity isn’t always embraced, and bringing change to a country town – even one as big as Bendigo – isn’t always easy. Especially when it comes to things like fashion and design. Kane Barri is one such person. Born and bred in Bendigo – save for two years living in Melbourne apprenticing in the fashion industry – he opened boutique The Meadow in 2009, which he runs with wife Matisse. He’s also a fashion designer: half of the nowpaused Kosi Kosi label, which he and Melbournebased grapho Kyle Mac grew from scratch until work and geography got in the way, after a successful two years. And now BAST, the men’s clothing line which will have its full collection launch come the end of October ($8 of every T-shirt is donated to men’s charity). Located in View Street, The Meadow is part of the council-dubbed Arts Precinct. Next to the various galleries, I’m not sure you could say all of the boutiques, hairdressers, antiques shops, cafes and the gun shop along that strip quite qualify as the arts, but certainly The Meadow could.

IDENTITY OF MONA LISA

art’s secrets By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

CALL it a magnificent obsession. For 35 years, Graeme Cameron has been slowly compiling evidence he hopes will prove, once and for all, the identity of the most famous portrait ever painted. It is now his belief that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa was not, as long surmised, the young Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo, or, as also claimed, a self-portrait of the artist himself. Mona Lisa is Leonardo’s mother. By using scans to show the various layers of underpainting, Graeme has taken the painting back to an earlier version which, he says, shows it as a portrait of an elderly woman with features that resemble Leonardo’s. Using the same scanning technique, he has also uncovered what he calls “Leonardo phenomena”, hidden marks that reveal grotesque heads, or metal implements, sometimes signatures. The hidden world of Renaissance painting has never been available before, he says. Mr Cameron and his twin brother Norm were born in Melbourne. Graeme still lives there, following long stints overseas studying art. Norm now lives in Bendigo, retired from his position as city planner. He admits that for a long time, he was not convinced by the theories his brother was putting forward, but is now a staunch supporter, assisting him with the publication of the first in a planned series of books. A glossy, full-colour book called The Secrets of Leonardo da Vinci tells the story of Graeme’s long and often frustrating journey. Graeme says it has often put him in the firing line to be called a crank, particularly his belief in

Heritage Uncorked what he calls “connoisseurship”, which is “that rare faculty of enhanced visual perceptual evaluation”. Fossicking about in art auction houses as a young man, Graeme found his “naive eye” was picking up clues that artworks being passed over as of little interest were in fact unacknowledged works by masters. He found he could “instantaneously” recognise the stylistic mannerisms and brushwork of master artists. “How such a rare gift evolved is still a mystery”, he says. “However I felt humbly privileged to possess such a unique perceptual faculty, and equally obligated to develop and refine its potential, as it became increasingly more effective in assisting the restitution of lost and misattributed artwork, for the benefit of the artists and posterity.” The trouble was, even his brother thought he had lost the plot. While Graeme spent years in the UK in the 1970s, beavering away at his theories, his brother was becoming concerned. “He logically thought that this situation could not be possible, reasonably assuming as most do that the cataloguing was un-

questioned,” Graeme says. “He later admitted he feared I must have been having a nervous breakdown or hallucinating, or perhaps even both.” For some years now, the Camerons have been trying to get experts to understand how the process they call Vegascan (similar to the x-ray process used to find out what is beneath old paintings) can be made to reveal previously unknown information. In the new book, Graeme finds little drawings in the background of Leonardo paintings, and tiny portraits in Holbein paintings. He collects any snippet of support he can get from experts and scholars, and details how paintings misattributed to minor artists have been revealed, through research, to be the work of major artists. He says many works maunder unrecognised in public collections, waiting for research work such as his to reveal their true value. “It is planned to apply these unique research and connoisseurship faculties for altruistic purposes.” The Secrets of Leonardo da Vinci by Graeme Cameron is published by Vegascan, and available from Dymocks Bendigo, $34.90.

ENTERTAINED

BEN CAMERON THE emergence of Nathan Cavaleri as the people’s guitar prodigy during the early 1990s,is well known. First appearing on Hey Hey It’s Saturday like a junior Tommy Emmanuel, Cavaleri initially captured the country’s hearts, then guitar legend BB King’s, who quickly took him under his wing. From here, the next few years of Cavaleri’s life was like a Hollywood script. Alongside a US tour with King there was a Disney movie appearance, a White House visit, a pash with a 12-year-old Jessica Alba; even Jimmy Page wanted a signed copy of his work. It could have been a case of far too much, far too soon, but what Cavaleri did next has been far less documented. With it now common place for precocious talent to be pushed into the limelight through the likes of X Factor and the ilk, the second chapter of the Cavaleri story is more timely than ever. The world was seemingly at his feet, but his parents went the other way: with the ear of the right people in the business, they yanked him out of the spotlight. Those people were Jimmy Barnes and his wife Jane. “Fortunately, my first record deal was with Jimmy Barnes’ wife,” Cavaleri remembers. “Thankfully they weren’t sharks, because mum and dad... put a heap of trust into them. “So we’re really thankful they had good hearts.” Taking one foot out of the mu-

NAT COL & THE KINGS Nathan Cavaleri and Col Hatchman.

63 DAYS TO GO Proudly supported by

sic business, Cavaleri put the guitar down and picked up a job as a brickie’s labourer, while plotting what to do next. “I just totally escaped music,” he says. “It can be a dark time when you’re finding yourself creatively again. “They (his parents) said ‘Let’s just finish school and work out what you want to do in life’.” He ignored the chorus of easy currency, telling him to do everything from a blues instrumental album to covers. Instead, Cavaleri followed his heart to a place far removed from the constant buzz of showbusiness. “I realised I really wanted to get back into it, but do it my own way, and forget all the people who are trying to tell me there’s only one way to success,” he says. “(It was about) following the herd, which I’m glad that stuff didn’t seep in.” After flirting with the Dirty Skanks, the new Cavaleri project is Nat Col and the Kings, a collaboration with fellow Skank and former Screaming Jets drummer, Col Hatchman. Their second EP Simple Things, is also a tribute to close friend Greg Clark who passed away in recent months. Clark was a mentor, an “iconic sound guy” who brought Cavaleri and Hatchman together. Their first meeting was memorable – not long after after Hatchman had been beaten to a pulp after a Jets’ gig in Darwin. “He drove from Newcastle with two busted eye sockets, completely numbed out by Panadeine Forte and he’d just had a face reconstruction basically,” Cavaleri says. “He set up his kit and in typical Hatchman style he went hard... and I knew within the first four to six bars we’d be partners in crime for a long time.” Cavaleri is a lot more relaxed about Simple Things, than their de-

BEN CAMERON BENDIGO pop singer Fenella Wagener’s singing skills were exposed to thousands of Melbourne listeners last week. Last Friday morning, track Raise Hell from her debut EP Fenella, was played on the top rating The Hot Breakfast morning show on Triple M. “Everything has turned upside down in the last week,” Fenella says. “It’s been the craziest whirl wind of a week... I’m completely overwhelmed.” The song not only impressed show host Eddie McGuire, but music identity Ian “Molly” Meldrum. After being given the opportunity to fill in temporarily on the Hot Breakfast production team, the 20-year-old Journalism student was up at 4am each morning for her new radio gig. Although the job turned out to be a little less glamorous than it sounded.

“It involved organising scripts, answering phone calls,” she says. “Sometimes it was just getting Luke Darcy’s coffee or tea in the morning. “Luke Darcy is just a gem, he’s the nicest bloke, but he’s quite a serious man.” On Thursday however, things amped up a notch or two when McGuire took Wagener aside and asked about her career ambitions. “I just said how I’ve been writing and recording all my life,” she says. “And he asked if I had a CD.” She gave him a copy of Fenella and didn’t think much more of it, until the next morning. “On Friday he said he’d been listening to my songs and that he was blown away, and he wanted to play them on air that morning,” Fenella says. Just before the show wrapped at 9am, Fenella

Bendigo’s Fenella Wagener went on air with McGuire, Darcy and Kenny star, Shane Jacobson. “The producer got me into the studio, I nearly fainted, I nearly died, I didn’t know what to think, I was freaking out,” she says. “I couldn’t even turn up the volume on the microphone, I couldn’t speak.”

but self titled EP. “It was quite nerve wracking because I wasn’t sure how the world would receive it,” he says of their first release. However, the crowds have swelled over the short lifespan of Nat Col and The Kings, which has eased the pressure on Cavaleri. “You get a heap of adrenalin and a massive sense of invincibility when you play in front of a huge crowd,” he says. “When we played Byron Bay at Blues Fest, we had about 6000 to 8000 people in front of us. “I was way more nervous when we did our first gigs in Newcastle last year, it was 100 people. “I was like ‘Wow, I can see all your faces!’.” Despite starting very early in life, winning over an intimate crowd remains a challenge. “It’s hard work,” he says. “I’m pretty sensitive to crowds, but Col, he doesn’t really give a shit. “I would ask him ‘How do you switch off from that, how do you not care what people are thinking?’ “And they just say ‘We’re happy just playing music, as soon as you let the fear into you then people will sense it.” It’s probably why Cavaleri is aware older fans will approach Nat Col and The Kings with a degree of Hey Hey baggage. “It can get in the way sometimes, but the good thing about my management back then is that they got me mixing with credible artists,” he says. “I was never doing anything super cheesy, although a young kid playing a guitar, there’s a bit of cheese there, but you can’t escape it. “But that’s all about re-branding, the people who enjoy my music stylistically back then, would definitely connect with Nat Col and the Kings.” Nat Col and the Kings play The Torrumbarry Hotel on Friday, September 23.

Mail Poll for Huntly Australia Post is undertaking a review of the mail delivery arrangements for Huntly, which does not currently receive a street mail delivery service. The review will be done by a mail poll. Residents at all eligible delivery points will be asked whether they want a mail delivery service to be introduced, or would prefer to maintain their existing arrangements, where mail is collected over the counter at the Huntly Licensed Post Office or from a reduced rate Post Office Box. The purpose of the poll is to determine the method of delivery that best suits the majority of residents in the Huntly community. The polling process is used to ensure that Australia Post deals with all similar requests in a fair and equitable manner. It is designed to prevent a situation where a minority of residents could bring about a change to existing arrangements, which has cost and convenience impacts for all residents. The polling will begin on Monday 17 October and close on Friday 11 November. Eligible residents will have a polling letter hand delivered to their home, which they should read thoroughly, complete and return to Australia Post by the closing date. All Huntly residents are urged by Australia Post to have their say. Importantly, if people do not respond, it will be assumed that they want the current arrangements to remain. A mail delivery service will only be introduced in Huntly if the poll indicates that more than 50 per cent of eligible households want this change to occur. For further information contact the Huntly Delivery Network office on 03 5481 4967

ADOPT-A-PET

JACK RUSSELL TERRIER MALE, 2 YEARS Hi there, my name is J.C and I am a little man who is quietly confident and is equally happy in the company of a little female dog or on my own. I would be best suited to an adult family as I can have a no-nonsense attitude. I would be a lovely little walking companion or maybe even a camping buddy. I will be desexed once I am adopted. MILLY DSH, BACK TORTOISESHELL FEMALE, 1 YEAR, 6 MONTHS J.C

Hi there, my name is Milly and I’m such a gentle cutie, I have that effect on people that makes them want to cuddle me all day, which I would absolutely love because I love getting attention and I would love to just have a home and an family who would spend quality time with me. I enjoy my pats and being around you. I get along well with other cats here and would be great potential to any family or individual. I will be desexed once I am adopted. If you or anyone you know is missing a pet, please contact us immediately to leave a report or come in to see if your pet is here. Check your pets fencing/enclosure to make sure that it is secure as this time of year the weather is unpredictable.

REGATTA TO BE LAUNCHED

BENEFITS: Ride to work and change your day.

BENDIGO Yacht Club will this weekend launch what already looks like being its most successful season for a decade, with the two-day Ice-Breaker Regatta being held on a full Lake Eppalock. With the drought and lack of water in the lake, it has been about a decade since the last Ice-Breaker Regatta. The club hopes to have competitors from all over Victoria sailing off-the beach boats (dinghies and catamarans) over the weekend.

FLOORING THE OPPOSITION

Transform your lifestyle SPRING, the season of new growth, sunshine and lengthening daylight hours beckons you to get outdoors. It never ceases to amaze, the amount of new faces of all ages out cycling on the road or along the bike paths and trails that this great city offers. Pace is not an issue, parking problems are eliminated and coffee stops are frequently found just off the bike paths. This spring your cycling could be transformed by taking on the challenge of the 6th National Ride to Work Day on October 12, 2011. This year it is anticipated 150,000 cyclists will take part from over 3500 workplaces. Ride to Work Day post-event surveys re-

EDDIE BARKLA vealed that 43 per cent of first time riders in 2010 are now riding to work and over 50 per cent of participants are riding more often.

riding a week reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50 per cent. • A regular bike rider can be expected to be as fit as a person 10 years younger. • Those that ride their bike to work each day showed a 39 per

cents in the dollar. • Bicycles impose 95 per cent less traffic congestion than an average car. If we were to shift a mere five per cent of car trips to bicycle, greenhouse gas emission impacts could reduce by up to eight per cent. Bendigo City Coun-

Ride to Work Day post-event surveys revealed that 43 per cent of first time riders in 2010 are now riding to work You are encouraged to take part and become another part of the increasing movement of healthier Australians who benefit in the following ways: • The risk of inactivity is 20 times greater than the health risk posed by a potential accident on a bike • Three hours of bike

cent reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality over 15 years. • Women who ride their bicycle over 30 minutes a day have a lower risk of breast cancer. • Every bicycle kilometre ridden saves society 25 cents in the dollar, every car kilometre driven costs society 16

cil will add their support for this day with a free breakfast in the Civic Gardens with giveaways and activities. The wide network of linear trails makes it possible to traverse across Bendigo and spend limited time in traffic. Whatever your stumbling block there is an answer that someone

else has already faced and worked around. Whatever your fears of riding, many attest to initially sharing the same fear and are out there breaking through the barriers, a ride at a time. Make your target today to start preparing – plan your route and take the time to take a trial ride and know the approximate time required to arrive safely. Talk with your local management about the support and flexibility they may offer in relaxing clothing rules on the day and beyond. Need help? Visit www.ride2work.com.au and register as well as find the answer to any questions. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

GET THE GIFT OF GEAR

THREE Eaglehawk judo athletes have performed well in a major interstate competition. Competing at the NSW International Open, Kim Jolly, Caine Stuart and Shayanne Stuart collected a couple of golds between them. Jolly won in the Under 20s lightweight division and gained a bronze in the Senior Men lightest division, despite giving away a lot of weight. Ten-year-old Caine caught the eye of coaches and referees, winning the lightest division, while Shayanne fought hard to claim silver in the Senior Women lightweight division.

2309

Your horoscope Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 19):

2309

Surprise, changeability, and general rebellion are the qualities prominent this week. You may be the one who feels rebellious and wants to be left alone. Or it could be your partner or a good friend. Think carefully before you speak. Words may fall right out of your mouth when you least expect it.

Cancer (June 21 - July 21):

You may be feeling agitation over the subject of income and resources. Perhaps there is something nagging at you to buy, but it doesn’t seem quite “right” yet. Meanwhile attending to daily routines and using positive self-care disciplines give you a necessary sense of grounding.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22):

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19):

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 19): You may have overdone it on the goodies in life. If so, you might feel sluggish and have the droops. Put yourself back into harness and treat your body with what it needs, rather than what it craves. Perhaps you need some time to yourself, to handle work matters and reflect upon your life.

Leo (July 22 - Aug 21):

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21):

Between now and early November your attention will be drawn to career and life direction. Activity in the outer world picks up speed. Authorities and others may be challenging, so have your ducks in a row if you take initiatives. Use this time to improve your “product” or your presentation.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 17):

The March equinox period brought circumstances, people, and decisions that suddenly altered your perspective on life. This is the month to reflect upon developments since that time? Can you move forward from here? It’s a decision to grow or split the scenario.

You may be taking a sober look at one or more relationships. Even the very closest friends cannot know each other from the inside. There are times when we simply want to withdraw and have some quiet. Keep your social life to a minimum. It may happen for you, whether you wish it or not.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 22):

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 20): You are having a conflict between the big picture (always your preferred view) and finding the means to reach the current goal. Technicalities are not your thing, but right now the “Devil is in the details.” Usually you can find someone else to resolve these problems. It looks like this is your baby for the present.

Pisces (Feb 18 - Mar 19): You are “on hold” while you wait for others in your life to complete things. You can’t rush forward or go backward to get around it now. It may very well be that it is you who is secretly reluctant to move, so you cooperate with circumstances and bide your time. You fear the unknown and making errors.

Gemini (May 20 - June 20):

You are caught between what you should do and what you want to do. The routine is safe, but also boring. Your mind may play tricks on you and you could be distracted easily. This is not a good time to do work that requires discipline with details. You are feeling independent, so you may want more alone time than is the norm.

It may seem that every time you attempt to concentrate on any sort of detail, someone or something begins to interfere. Bitsy parts will not cooperate or can’t be found. It may take 2 to 3 trips to the hardware store or the grocery market to collect what you need to complete the task.

You very likely will encounter someone who wants you to hurry toward a decision. There is a sense of restlessness in another that makes you edgy. Your preference is to rein inward and move slowly, carefully. Look inside yourself to see if you are repressing your own disturbance. Is this an argument with yourself?

Details may nag your mind and your time like pecking ducks. You may be in the mood to nit-pick on yourself or others at the beginning of the week. Your attitude is somber. This is a good time to work alone and concentrate on a calming project, rather than a challenging exploit.

Kerang takes title THE Bendigo and District Table Tennis Association wrapped up its successful 2011 winter pennant competition this week with a presentation night on Wednesday. Kerang was recognised for its win in the A Grade competition over a gallant Eaglehawk, while the A Grade singles winner was Mark Gordon. Other major winners were the A Grade doubles combination of Jim Chamarous and Aaron Martin, B Grade team winners Strathfieldsaye over Sandhurst, B Grade singles winner in Paul Green. Winners also included Ashley Ruiter and Maurie Bingham (B Grade doubles aggregate) and Bendigo South East (C Grade teams). Travis Austerberry received the C Grade encouragement award and Kendall Hoban the most improved C Grade player.

Sandhurst lines up for a ‘cracking match’ SANDHURST is confident it can atone for a two-goal second semi final loss to Golden Square in tomorrow’s A Grade Netball grand final. Sandhurst coach Melissa Ryan said her team were actually pleased with the result, as they were missing key player Chloe Watson through injury, who is 80 per cent certain of playing in the big match. “We’re quietly confident

but ready for a cracking match,” she said. In other grand finals set for the Queen Elizabeth Oval, a Ryan-led Sandhurst will take on Eaglehawk in the A Reserve grand final, Kangaroo Flat play Eaglehawk in B Grade and Sandhurst play Kangaroo Flat in the Under 17 division. “All should be tight contests so get along and support some of the best netballers in the region,” Ryan said.

IN ACTION: Sandhurst is chasing netball glory after a loss.

Council predicts November return for QEO cricket CRICKET is every chance to return to the Queen Elizabeth Oval as early as mid November, as a three turf wicket table will be installed immediately after the Bendigo Football Netball League grand finals. City of Greater Bendigo acting Parks and Natural Reserves Manager Roger Barbetti said the wicket table is the

final stage of the QEO reconstruction project. “A concrete base and drainage layer was installed as part of the original reconstruction works which will simplify the installation of the new wickets,” he said. “The project will involve compacting turf wicket soil and rolling out washed legend couch grass. The City’s ground staff will then

prepare and maintain the new turf wicket for all cricket fixtures as part of our general maintenance operations. “With favourable weather conditions we could see cricket return to the QEO as early as mid to late November.” Staff will remove winter grasses as part of the general management of the turf outfield to allow the couch grass base to come out

of dormancy and provide a hard wearing and drought-tolerant surface for summer. “However the treatment of the winter grasses will result in a noticeable loss of colour on the ground for a couple of weeks until the couch grass takes over,” he said. This is part of the annual process of changing from winter to summer grasses.

Mr Barbetti said the QEO’s turf surface has consolidated to a satisfactory level and winter users of the ground were pleased with its performance. Meanwhile, Huntly North Cricket Club needs more junior players. Budding cricketers can attend training at Strauch Reserve Sports Facility, Huntly, on Tuesdays from 4pm.

Footy showdown Bulldogs take on Eaglehawk for BFNL glory

For the record – Peter Cox says Eaglehawk by 5 points

For the record – Rod Fyffe says Golden Square by 60 points

brand of footy, and netball will be really good,’’ he said. The Nick Carter-coached Golden Square will be out to cement their place in history as one of the few clubs to achieve a premiership hat trick, and the first since the powerhouse days of Northern Unit-

ed which won four flags in a row from 1984 to 1987 inclusive. Golden Square is yet to achieve a premiership 3-peat, and will be looking to join Northern United, South Bendigo, Sandhurst and Eaglehawk as the only clubs in the league’s 132-year history to do so.

Oliver said a large team of Rotary and Lions Club members will be in place from early Saturday to man the barbecues and cater for the expected large crowd. ‘’There’s a really good community feel about the day, and it’s also good to contribute something back

to the community,’’ he said. The 2011 Grand Final action gets under way from 9am Saturday with the Under 18s football, between Sandhurst and Golden Square. Netball action gets underway at 10am, with Kangaroo Flat to play Sandhurst in the Under 17s.

GREATER Bendigo mayor Rod Fyffe is hoping his beloved Golden Square Bulldogs will create history this weekend when they take on Eaglehawk in the 2011 Bendigo Football Netball League grand final. The League’s top two teams will go head to head at the hallowed Queen Elizabeth Oval tomorrow in a fitting tribute to season 2011. Eaglehawk ward councillor Peter Cox will be hoping the proud Borough side can repeat their efforts of 2007 when they upset a more fancied Gisborne to win the flag, backing up in 2008 to down Golden Square by a solitary goal. A rampaging Golden Square will be out to keep its unbeaten run intact against a resurgent Eaglehawk when the league’s top two teams take to the QEO at 2.20pm tomorrow afternoon. In A Grade netball, Sandhurst and Golden Square will clash in the premiership showdown from 2.45pm. BFNL chief executive officer Steven Oliver said he was expecting a crowd to rival last year’s blockbuster of about 7,000, and that the QEO was in superb condition for its biggest test of the season. ‘’We are really confident that the
