BENDIGO Police have been forced to increase their numbers on the beat after midnight on weekends to curb an upturn of assaults in the city’s CBD. Sergeant Tony Kekich said the summer months had seen a climb in inner city assaults between midnight and 4am. “Our stats show a spike in inner city assaults after 12pm on Thurs-

day, Friday and Saturday nights,� he said. “Over the past few months it’s really increased.� Police are expected to release the official statistics next week. The spike in the number of assaults and property damage comes after a quiet period on the streets of

Bendigo’s CBD after dark. The statistics are expected to not just show a large increase in the past few months, but a significant rise compared to the same time last year. The Bendigo Weekly has seen a map highlighting where the CBD assault and property damage re-

Bendigo misses out on expected round of expansion

Broadband slowed By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

BENDIGO’S hopes for an early rollout in the national broadband network’s plans took a hit this month, when the first quarterly update was announced. “It is disappointing,” NBN4Bendigo chairman Bruce Winzar said. “The first quarter was about expansion with only three new towns added, so that is disappointing from where we were in October,” he said. “But we are still expecting the big announcement of the major rollout end of March or April.” The NBN4Bendigo Working Group has been pushing for early access to the high-

speed broadband infrastructure, arguing that the city is the second largest regional city in Victoria and growing fast. They developed a business case to present to NBNCo to support their call for inclusion in this month’s list. However, the list only included three Melbourne suburbs on top of the al-

ready announced construction in Ballarat, Tullarmarine, Frankston and Melton, in their 12-month rollout plan which goes through until September this year. One of NBN4Bendigo’s key arguments was the strength of the education sector as well as the imminent construction of the new Bendigo hospital.

“Health is one of the key enablers of broadband and the hospital is key to our region,” Mr Winzar said. “However, NBNCo’s emphasis and push is on the consumer market; when they measure potential it’s about consumers not business.” Mr Winzar said NBN4Bendigo will continue to be “in their face as much as we can”, in future discussions with NBNCo senior managers, who are expected to tour the region next month. The group is also working with council to develop planning controls to assist NBN rollout as part of the city’s digital economy strategy. Mr Winzar said a first draft of the strategy was expected to go to council mid-March.

Sunburn damage the end for ash A NUMBER of ash trees in Williamson Street will have to be removed because of sunburn. City of Greater Bendigo Presentation and Assets director Darren Fuzzard said the trees between Brougham Street and the Somerville Street roundabout suffered during the drought, causing branches to die. “Staff from the council’s Parks and Natural Reserves have undertaken remedial pruning as part of the city’s normal tree maintenance program to remove the deadwood and further pruning work is scheduled,” he said. “Several of the ash trees were badly affected during the drought and will be removed as a result. “Any trees that are removed will be replaced with an appropriate species.”

Union on the attack over nurses letter

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO Health chief executive officer John Mulder has come under fire for “inflaming� the dispute between nurses and the local hospital. The Bendigo Weekly online revealed this week Mr Mulder had sent a letter to all nursing staff outlining the “long-term consequences� to nurses who decide to resign en masse as part of the Australian Nursing Federation’s industrial action. He outlined the existing entitlements staff would lose if they resigned and were reemployed as a casual or outside the public health system. The letter outlined the lengthy list of leave, entitlements such as salary packaging and shift flexibility that could be lost by resigning and being re-employed as a casual or elsewhere. “Resigning as an industrial response to the alleged threat to ratios is unwise and drastic, with long-term consequences,� he said. “(We) are very concerned to ensure all the implications of such actions are communicated to you to ensure your decision is an informed one. “(There is) no obligation by (a) new employer to pro-

vide (the) same (current classification and incremental level).� The letter provoked an angry outburst from staff on the ANF’s facebook site, and attracted the ire of its Victorian secretary Lisa Fitzpatrick and Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards. Ms Edwards said the letter was intimidating and “expressed anger and disap-

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

“The nurses have proved in the past that they are above this tactic of threats and intimidation.� Ms Fitzpatrick also criticised Mr Mulder for the letter. “We encourage Mr Mulder to work with the nursing staff and support working staff ratios, rather than inflaming the situation,� she said. “The letter Mr Mulder

Resigning as an industrial response to the alleged threat to ratios is unwise and drastic pointment� at the “provocative attitude� of Bendigo Health. “This letter has obviously been sent to nurses to unfairly place enormous pressure on staff in an attempt to intimidate them,� she said “Bendigo Health is clearly reinforcing Liberal National Government agenda and that agenda is to provoke employees, bully them with threats and use scare tactics. “This is an appalling attempt at government bullying reminiscent of the Kennett years. No respect for nurses, their profession or regional Victoria.

sent out is a copy of a template the Victorian Health Industry Association drafted on behalf of CEOs. “Staff felt it was quite condescending. These are adult men and women who are intelligent and do know what is involved if they resign.� Mr Mulder defended the letter. “It is disappointing that the ANF has taken such a view and accused Bendigo Health of inflaming the situation,� he said. “We have and will always recognise the legitimate rights of our nurses to pursue their wages and conditions.

Profits down, but bank puts on positive spin

INFLAMING: John Mulder. “But had we not brought the implications of resignation to the attention of our nurses and they lost entitlements that they were not expecting to lose, we would have been roundly criticised by the ANF. “We felt a duty of care to our staff to inform them of their rights and certainly did not intend the information to be perceived as condescending or intimidating. “It must also be stated that the vast majority of our nurses have been extremely professional throughout this process and have maintained a central focus on patient care.�

Murder case held over

THE Bendigo and Adelaide Bank’ announced this week a sharp downturn in net profit but the reaction in the financial sector was not entirely negative. Managing director Mike Hirst put out the sixmontly result on Monday, going gently on the front foot by saying that, despite a 66 per cent downturn in net profit, the figures “should provide comfort� to customers. The Half Year Report for the six months ending December 31, 2011, shows an after tax statutory profit of $57.9 million, down from $168.2m for the previous six months. Despite the drop, the bank recorded cash earnings of $162.6m, a slight increase on the previous period. The cost of all funding channels has increased markedly over the past six months,� Mr Hirst said. He warned that the next six months would be volatile for the finance sector, with funding costs, and demand for credit uncertain in the global market. “While the future impact of these factors is difficult to predict, there is much about our business that should provide comfort to our investors,� Mr

Hirst said. He said the bank’s model of “customer engagement� has generated sustainability. “The success of this model, built on customer engagement, is demonstrable,� Mr Hirst said. “We have achieved above-system mortgage growth, fund 77 per cent of our lending through retail deposits and, with our community partners, have now provided more than $88m in community grants and dividends.� In the wake of the announcement, Mr Hirst, asked about possible job cuts, said salary costs would be lowered only through staff attrition. He was also widely quoted as one of the few in the financial sector to see light at the end of the tunnel. “It might be that things are starting to turn around a little bit,� he said at a briefing following the release of the sixmonthly report. Analysts reacted by holding off on giving a negative mark to the bank, despite the downturn. One adviser said the result put a dent in the bank’s “cuddly image�, but another pointed out that they are still ahead in customer satisfaction ratings.

Police ramp up street patrols

THE murder case against Antony John Duiguid has been adjourned until April 18. Mr Duiguid was charged with one count of murder following the death of respected Pall Mall newsagent Garry Angus in October. The case has been adjourned to wait for DNA analysis to be received. Mr Duguid appeared in court via video link dressed in a bright polo shirt, and accompanied by another man. He has not yet entered a plea.

From Page 1 “Generally the incidents involve males, both victims and perpetrators.â€? However Sgt Kekich said the problem of late night violence was not a police problem alone. “This is a broad issue, it’s a community responsibility, not just police, but for the patrons, the business owners,â€? he said. Sgt Kekich’s comments

RIGHT: Mr Duiguid is led from court on a previous appearance.

come after a bouncer from a popular Bendigo nightspot was left with a shattered eye socket and broken cheekbone after being assaulted in broad daylight just before Christmas. “He walked up to the toilets at Coles carpark to wash off the blood and nobody stopped to help him,� the bouncer’s partner said. “That’s just disgraceful, nobody helped.�

Pancakes spread the poverty word

EVERY parent knows pancakes and children go very well together. This week another ingredient was added to that recipe – an important message. Caritas Australia flipped its Project Compassion message into action in the Hargreaves Mall this week. About 250 students from across Bendigo attended the Pancakes Highlighting Poverty event. They flipped more than 1000 pancakes and, more importantly, ate them, all while digesting messages of

peace and justice. “We’re flipping pancakes to spread the word about Project Compassion,� Caritas Australia’s North Eastern Victoria coordinator Kerry Stone said. “Pancakes and poverty might seem like an odd mix, but...� Project Compassion is Caritas Australia’s largest fundraising event for aid and development. It is held each year over Lent. Pancakes are aimed at reminding locals of their privilege and plenty.

Locals stay controlled after harsh restrictions dropped

Water not wasted By ANTHONY RADFORD

DESPITE Bendigo having access to more water than ever before, locals are hardly using any at all. The Goldfields Superpipe and an almost-full Coliban system saw water restrictions cut in January last year. Since then, locals have been using only as much as they used when on the harsh Stage Four restrictions. Coliban Water Operations general manager Neville Pearce said that amounted to 25 per cent less than the water corporation expected. “It is mostly behavioural

nine years of drought may fade and things might trend back to using more water.� Despite the lack of water use, Mr Pearce said Coliban was still on track to break even financially next financial year. Coliban Water recently re-

leased its Water Supply Demand Strategy to 2060. It revealed demand for water in Bendigo would increase 118 per cent over that time.

As a result, the water corporation has identified pumping more water through the Superpipe, mostly in the off-season, to augment the supply. The report also discussed connecting Castlemaine to Bendigo’s water supply, easing the pressure on the Coliban system. Coliban Water also announced this week it was using the Superpipe for the first time since May, 2010. The draft Water Supply Demand Strategy is available for comment up to Monday, February 27. More information can be found on www.coliban.com.au and by clicking on Water Security.

Students receive a warm welcome

CITY of Greater Bendigo mayor Alec Sandner has welcomed more than 1500 new La Trobe University undergraduate students to the city. La Trobe Bendigo is expecting about 5000 students to be on campus this year, and campus director Andrew Skewes urged them to embrace Bendigo life, on and off campus. “La Trobe University is located in the culturally and commercially vibrant, highly connected and rapidly developing regional city of Bendigo,” he said. “This is a very exciting time for the campus. As well as offering high profile courses such as physiotherapy, pharmacy, para-

medicine and education we are also introducing new courses in exercise physiology, strategic communications, community development and early childhood education. “We are welcoming students from the local area, interstate and from 35 nations in every corner of the globe.” The civic welcome was part of the campus’ carnival market day program where clubs, societies and local businesses showcase what they have to offer. There was entertainment, carnival rides and a free lunch. International students will be welcomed in a special festival today.

Report under wraps as ‘transparent’ council refuses to release

Audit held back

By ANTHONY RADFORD

THE City of Greater Bendigo council will not release to the public an audit report aimed at improving council transparency. Council cited its audits from the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate as a reason to not go ahead with an external review of council, as proposed by residents Ted Coleman and Michael McKenzie. The audits look at 27 areas within council to judge whether they are in compliance with sections of the Local Government Act and whether they need to change the way they do things. Investigators recently travelled to Bendigo to carry out an audit, staying for two weeks to review material and processes. Council has refused to

release the results of the audit, despite the State Government Department of Planning and Community Development saying the audit process aims to “achieve transparent governance”. “The audit is not a public document. How-

ernment Inspectorate has advised that they do not release the reports to the general public.” However, a spokesperson for the Inspectorate, part of the Department of Planning and Community Development, did not say council could not release

If they had nothing to hide, there is no doubt they would release it ever, an FOI request could be lodged with either the Local Government Inspectorate or the council, but it is likely that it will be an exempt document under FOI,” a council spokesperson said. “It is a Local Government Inspectorate document that was provided to council on a confidential basis and the Local Gov-

the audit. “The Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate can confirm that an audit of Bendigo council has been carried out,” she said. “The Inspectorate does not make copies of audits public. “Queries relating to the audit should be directed to

the City of Greater Bendigo council.” When asked if council was allowed to make the audit public if it wanted to, the spokesperson said that was a matter to take up with the council. Mr Coleman said not releasing the audit inferred council had something to hide. “The Inspectorate told me it can be available to councillors and they can make it available,” he said. “The council is holding up this and others as evidence they don’t need a review, and evidence they are doing the right thing, but they won’t show us. “If they had nothing to hide, there is no doubt they would release it. “It shows it is not about transparency.” Mr Coleman said council made a big thing of transparency in the past.

They are calling it the Bendigo Goldrush, and in celebration of all things golden (including themselves) Bendigo’s Red hat women will be wearing gold to their big bash. Red hat is a social support group for over-50s, that has six million members worldwide. One of the two Bendigo chapters, which calls itself the Golden Gadabouts, has organised a national weekend on March 23 to 25, welcoming several hundred women to Bendigo to enjoy

themselves. The hats are worn, along with purple clothing, to commemorate the poem written by the woman who inspired the first Red hatters, Jenny Joseph. “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, with a red hat which doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me,� Ms Joseph wrote. Jennifer Castle, the “queen� of the Golden Gadabouts, says it’s been a lot of work to get a wild weekend of pleasure-seeking females together, but they are all looking forward to a good time.

“We dress up, we dine, we shop, and we explore,� she says. “The whole idea is to demonstrate the value and contributions of women to society, so the Red hat Society is a place where women are royalty every day, and a place where fun reigns supreme.� The Bendigo Goldrush is fully booked at the All Seasons Resort on McIvor Road, but while there is a waiting list for Red hat membership, Ms Castle says enquiries are very welcome, through their Bendigo Red hat Society website.

Councillor slips up in figures used for pool row

Reade reads wrong By ANTHONY RADFORD

A KEY argument used by the City of Greater Bendigo councillor who led the charge against extending the planned Kangaroo Flat pool to 50 metres is wrong. The council voted 4-3 at its last meeting to extend the planned pool. Sandhurst Ward councillor James Reade was a vocal opponent to the move during and after the council meeting. At the meeting he was adamant Bendigo had enough pools. “It is my understanding we have the most swimming pools per head, per capita, in Australia and, I assume, that means

the world as well,” he said. Cr Reade didn’t have to look overseas to find a council that had a greater pool-per-person ratio than Bendigo, in fact he didn’t even need to look outside Victoria. Cr Reade only had to look next door to find

a population in Greater Bendigo of 104,192. There are 13 pools in the council area, giving a pools-per-person ratio of .00012477. The council immediately south of Bendigo, Mount Alexander Shire, has a PPP ratio nearly

If I did, it was an honest mistake three councils with far greater pools-per-person numbers. The most up-to-date accurate population figures are from June, 2010. Those figures point to

double Greater Bendigo’s at .00021866. It has four pools and a population of 18,293. Looking north, Central Goldfields Shire has a PPP of nearly triple Bendigo’s,

at .00031000, with 12,900 people and four pools. Loddon Shire, also to Bendigo’s north, takes the cake. Its PPP is a whopping .0005814, with five pools for its 8600 people. After presented with the figures, Cr Reade admitted he was wrong. “I am not sure if I said that exactly. If I did, it was an honest mistake, as I should have said that it is my understanding the City of Greater Bendigo has the most swimming pools per municipality,” he said. “I formed this opinion after meeting with industry experts who mentioned they have never seen so many swimming (pools) in a municipality.”

GRACE RULE is having a ball fundraising. It’s all in aid of her cousin Dan Ryan, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was a child. The stall is one of a string of fundraisers Grace has come up with to donate cash to the cause. What’s more she’s giving herself a permanent reminder of the task by getting a tattoo in the shape of a cystic fibrosis logo, sponsored of course. Grace set her mind to the fundraising task about four years ago, but wasn’t sure how Dan would react. “I was really nervous about asking him,” Grace said. “But he was really overwhelmed.” Grace has been inspired to help Dan by his positive approach to life. “He says he makes his illness live with him rather than being ruled by it,” she said. Grace has a stall at La Trobe Bendigo’s O-Week activities today, selling cakes and slices donated by friends and family. There’s a raffle too, with around 50 prizes on offer. As for the tattoo, artist Jarrod Boland is donating it to the cause. With Cystic Fibrosis Victoria and the Royal Children’s Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust set to receive the cash raised, Grace is certainly showing her support for a good cause. Donations can also be taken online at www.everydayhero.com.au/grace_rule

www.betterhealthclub.com.au 3BO’s Beck Chalmer continues her fitness fight

Coverage of this story is available on the website www.betterhealthclub.com.au

Thinking outside the square “I wish I was on a program like yours.” “I wish I had a gym membership” I HAVE heard these comments over the past two weeks and it’s really got me thinking. Some of us just can’t afford a gym membership and even if we do, let’s face it, some days it is impossible to get into a gym. No-one to mind the kids, our better half has worked late, the gym is closed and the list goes on. My struggle this week was pushing myself to think outside the square and create a workout around these factors. First I took a good look around my environment. I live in a hilly part of Bendigo. Hills to my left, hills

Step it up is what I did. I climbed those damn hills. I pushed myself further with little dares in my head. “I bet you can’t get to that laneway” “Oh yeah?” “Yeah, come on girlfriend, move it!”

My struggle this week was pushing myself to ... create a workout right. It’s getting off the couch that is the hard part. Now getting outdoors is great. Fabulous fresh air and you get to have a sticky beak at the neighbours’ gardens. It is also terrific that we are outside but if we want results, weight loss to muscle toning, we need to step it up.

“I can’t! It hurts!” “Put on ya big girl undies and deal with it!” Pushing myself to work harder was foreign to me but you know what? I did it! Then when I got home I did some slow, thigh-burning squats down my garden path and used my two front steps to do step-ups. My house is a veri-

table gym! Who’d have thought? The point I’m making is that this past week has been a struggle with little moments out of my control. Did I feel annoyed/ ashamed that I couldn’t get to the gym as much as I wanted? Sure did. But for once I’m proud of myself for thinking outside the square.

Time to step up your activity levels with a daily brisk walk WALKING can improve health and fitness. Walking can help you lose body fat and maintain a healthy weight, improve your fitness and reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers. To get the health benefits, try to walk for at least 30 minutes as briskly as you can most days of the week. Physical activity does not have to be vigorous or done for long periods in order to improve your health. A 2007 study of inactive women found that even a low level of exercise – around 75 minutes per week – improved participants’ fitness levels significantly, when compared to a non-exercising group. Walking is a suitable physi-

You can get out and walk without worrying about some of the risks associated with other more vigorous forms of exercise.

Making waves Bendigo Ben Jones and Weekly with ...

Anthony Radford

Ben – It’s the local you know, 3BO. I am here with Bendigo Weekly editor Anthony Radford. Radders let’s start with basketball. The Spirit’s season came to a close across the weekend, but they have some more important matters to address, that is their deficit. There has been some movement in the past few days I understand. Anthony – Yes, the Spirit’s season basically finished the week before against Sydney Uni when, ironically, the ball was taken from Kristi Harrower’s hands as she ran down the court. The general manager’s job was taken from her hands a few months ago and that sparked a series of stories revealing the Spirit had a deficit this year if $55,000, and needed immediate help. That culminated on Monday night with the appointment of nine new board members. Ben – And I believe they are board members and business people of note. Anthony – Yes, Chris Richards from My Jet, Sue DeAraugo of Bendigo Toyota and Ray Wild of Ray Wild Plumbing are just three of the names who have put their hands up to help out. They, and others, will be assets next season as the Spirit tries to work things out. They need to complete financially with the bigger sides. Ben – Speaking to 3BO’s own Gabe Richards, the crowds have been really positive this year, despite the up and down nature of the season. You are right, it needs corporate support more than anything else. Hopefully with this new board that can turn around slowly and surely. Anthony – What I would be doing is opening the first couple of home matches to the community free. They have struggled for crowds, and probably don’t make that much on the door, so that would be a great way to spark interest and maybe introduce a few thousand people to what a great game basketball at the national level is. Ben – The nurses issue is an ongoing one. An interesting letter sent out by Bendigo Health chief executive officer John Mulder has caused a bit of a stir. Anthony – The letter was sent to all staff reminding nurses of the long-term consequences if they resign as part of industrial action. It wasn’t well received.

Victoria hotel perfect for accommodation I AM truly surprised at the mentality behind last week’s letter to the editor entitled “Location not right for crisis accommodation”. Once again an Eaglehawk trader displaying a less than compassionate view on people in real need. Of course the location is right. It’s close to shops, health services, transport, sporting facilities, parks and gardens. What a fantastic location for people from all walks of life to enjoy. To compare the Bendigo CBD’s illustrious fountain with a clapped out, run down, old pub with a less than impressive history is ludicrous. I am sure the beautiful Eaglehawk town hall building would in fact be considered the heart of Eaglehawk. As for M Webster’s statement that Mr Ivar Hunt will be “making the big bucks”, I seriously doubt that. Isn’t it Mr Hunt who wants to restore your beloved icon to its once former glory? I’m sure this won’t come cheaply. Not to mention the ongoing running and maintenance costs of a building of its size and era. It sounds to me like someone is a tiny bit jealous of successful people. I would in conclusion like to say that I have read the State Planning Policy Framework (SPPF), the Local Planning Policy Framework (LPPF) and the Municipal Strategic Statement which is encompassed in the Greater Bendigo Planning Scheme. It is my belief that maybe some of the Eaglehawk traders should take time out and have a read of this document, as they don’t have a leg to stand on with their objections. The government wants this type of development, so, too, does the council (all be it behind closed doors) and that’s why they have all kept out of the spotlight. Melissa Frost-Thomas, Eaglehawk

Pavers gobble cash SO Darren Fuzzard has come up with a solution to the pavers that should never have been used in the first place. Or he thinks he has. He uses a lot of “we think we can”, and “we will remove”, and “we are yet to work that out”. Re-

ally ! And why put it to nearby traders. Is it thought they may have a better idea? I wonder how much this gentleman with the large title of council Presentation and Assets director, gets paid to come up with yet another money gobbling project that will be as useless as the mall. Money that could be better used on our deteriorating roads for a start. And the bus chaos plan sounds like a real doosey. It doesn’t alter the problem that buses and cars don’t mix. But leaving the bus stops where they are, and building bus shelters nearby is real wizardry. P Tharle, Bendigo

Mr and Mrs Bendigo left out of equation DEVELOPERS appear to be devoid of the aesthetic gene (as indicated by the recent commercial development approvals in Bendigo) and are purely motivated by the soulless opportunistic and the economic imperative gene. Consequently, the community continually gets foisted upon it appallingly designed commercial buildings and subdivisions that are filled with houses that are are

not energy efficient or suitable to the Australian climate and conditions. Developers appear to never live in the subdivision estates they create, because they wouldn’t be seen dead in them. The Ravenswood plan would completely destroy the unique approach to Bendigo. The present entrance and departure over Big Hill and through the Ravenswood valley is enormously appealing and heightens the panoramic aspect of the entrance to Bendigo. The overseas and interstate guests that I have had visit are astounded by the secluded and picturesque approach to Bendigo, that obviously the developers are incapable of perceiving. The council couldn’t get the development of the Hargreaves Street Mall right, so why should the council be permitted to make the decision about subdivision estates and their locality? The Baillieu Government appears to want to satisfy the exorbitant demands of developers and Mr and Mrs Bendigo seem to have been left out of the equation. Developers have the propensity to create catastrophes the community regretfully has to live with, while the developer moves on to their next big project. Scott Ramsay, Strathdale

Heads will fall if Mr Rudd regains the helm IT is shameful when we see politicians who have had the admiration and trust of people from all political persuasions, blotting their otherwise unblemished copy books. The vitriolic remarks, regarding Kevin Rudd that are making the headlines at present, are despicable and reek with hatred. No doubt these anti-Rudd people in the ALP are the same as those who honed the knife for Julia Gillard, long before that disgraceful event occured. These politicians obviously showed no loyalty towards their then leader and are now running scared. Should Mr Rudd become the leader of the party again, (indeed it looks a big possibility,) heads will surely fall. All one can add at this time is: Shame, shame, shame. Brian M F Dillon, Bendigo

Pipe is might NEWS Bendigonians are using as much water now as they did under the harshest water restrictions in the state is very good news. Believe it or not, this comes as the city has access to more water than at any time in its history. Thanks to the Superpipe, last year’s heavy rains and a change in strategy from Coliban Water, we are a long way from needing restrictions again. In fact, Coliban Water never wants to see them again in Bendigo. Ever. Locals are using as much water now as they did on Stage Four restrictions, yet they are managing to keep their gardens alive and flourishing. A big congratulations has to go out to the community, for learning from the past nine years of drought, and making big changes. Our tanks are giving us water to use on our gardens as we wish and our grey water systems are keeping things green. We are no longer hosing down driveways, or using sprinklers willy nilly.

This Year, Find Time For Yourself.

BendigoWeekly

Editorial Comment We are buying native and drought-tolerant plants, and watering when we need to, not when we want to. The question still remains though; will this continue? And the answer is, it doesn’t matter. Water security is no longer an issue for Bendigo. We have paid for the pipe, paid for the licences for temporary water if need be, and we are about to pay for the piping of our rural system, which will save even more water. All those things were designed to give people choice, so they didn’t have to let their gardens dry and the city’s reputation die as a result. The only obstacle now is growth, and Coliban have tipped we will use 118 per cent more water

than we do now by 2060. Kudos must go to Coliban Water for the fact that despite this growth, the solutions to find this extra water needed will not have too much impact on users now, or then. All that is needed, according to Coliban’s Water Security Strategy, is perhaps a pipeline to Castlemaine to help the southern part of the system, or piping more water to Bendigo from the Goulburn system, via the Superpipe. This shows what an important decision the pipe was, and why it is ridiculous it took so long for it to happen.

Gibbons twitters as the party burns IT has been a big few days for the Labor Party. Labor Member for Bendigo Steve Gibbons made national headlines on Sunday morning after he released a statememt via twitter condemining Kevin Rudd, after earlier referring to him as a pychopath. Here are his comments, and his tweets on the subject in the past 10 days. ANY political organisation is bigger than the individual and the Australian Labor Party is certainly bigger than Kevin Rudd. Rudd took us to a magnificent victory in 2007 on a well established policy platform after the caucus rejected Kim Beazley as leader. However, his chaotic and deeply offensive style of leadership since then gradually eroded the goodwill that caucus had awarded him. This loss of confidence resulted in Rudd failing to even nominate for leader once the leadership was declared vacant in 2010. Federal Labor cannot afford to adopt the strategies of the NSW branch of the party in regularly changing leaders just because the going gets a bit rough. Being in Government especially

You “changed Leaders” coz of bad polls, remember? @SteveGibbonsMP@2FBS@RuddFactor Bad polls had nothing whatsoever to do with it. The then leader lost the confidence of the majority of Caucus. @SteveGibbonsMP@RuddFactor. I can’t see any point in changing leaders again and its others who need to be “team players”.

Lunch in the park AS the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival celebrates its 20th birthday, Bendigo will again host a Regional World’s Longest Lunch in the idyllic surrounds of Rosalind Park. Bendigo’s Longest Lunch next Friday between 12 and 4pm is presented by Wine Bank on View and the Bendigo Winegrowers Association. This year’s lunch will be a six course degustation style with all courses expertly matched to local wines. One of Central Victoria’s most stylish food and wine experiences of the year, the regionally inspired menu will be created by Wine Bank on View from local ingredients with dishes including smoked trout timbale, beef eye fillet wrapped in Istra prosciutto and slow-cooked Leverton Park lamb. Wines have been carefully selected by a panel of industry experts to match each of the six courses from an amazing range of this region’s wines from delicate, fragrant whites, up and coming varietals and naturally, Shiraz and Cabernet, on which the region’s wine history was built. Diners will be seated at a table stretched along the grand boulevards of Rosalind Park. It is essential to book to secure a seat at this year’s longest lunch. Tickets at $125 per person are available from Wine Bank on View at 45 View Street, Bendigo or phone 5444 4655.

HEATHCOTE will also host a World’s Longest Lunch on Friday between 12 and 4pm at The Redesdale Hotel, 2640 Kyneton-Heathcote Road, Redesdale. While Heathcote may be relatively young in food and wine terms, a journey through the produce and wines of Victoria’s red heart, is guaranteed to surprise with the diversity of this emerging region. Cost: $115 three courses with matched wines. For bookings phone 5425 3111 – Vicki Harrington

Rumour has it... Bendigo’s newest steakhouse, The Woodhouse, opened on Wednesday and is now taking bookings, phone 5443 8671. By all accounts both the restaurant renovation and the food are sensational. Attention coffee and lunch aficionados, the Cafe on Queen has recently opened in the premises formerly occupied by Coffee Hollow at 3 Queen Street. Hargreaves Street is simmering with the news it will have a new eatery at number 236. Local couple, Simone and Randall Blakemore are currently giving the premises a major makeover and plan to open their new venture, to be known as Sim’r, in about four weeks. They share a passion for French and Italian-style food so expect something a little different on the brekkie and lunch menu at Sim’r.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, February 24, 2012

WHEN Henk Kraima (pictured) set up an organisation in 1986, to do something about the alarming drop in booksales and reading in the Netherlands, he was asked in interviews, “So, how do you intend to go about it?”. “I had no idea,” he told an audience in Bendigo this week. But with a background in marketing, he set about applying the same rules as you’d apply to selling cheese or chalk to books and reading. “We all agreed that it’s important, a good thing for our children,” Mr Kraima said. “But we forgot to tell them how much fun reading is.” Mr Kraima charmingly, but disconcertingly, used the history of the Netherlands as an analogy for what publishers, educators, booksellers, libraries and authors can do to dig us out of a non-reading hole. Two thousand years ago, he said, the good people of that little area of Europe were constantly inundated by tides, so they all got together and built dykes. His point was that, if you want to work together, there has to be something in it for everyone. To get an organisation to join a reading campaign, it has to be good for the bottom line, financially, or qualitatively. Mr Kraima’s Dutch campaign put reading alongside beer drinking, making it okay for young men to do it. It also promoted reading aloud, so that what is often

seen as a private, solitary, and therefore anti-social activity, became a shared and out-there activity. Mr Kraima’s take-away message for Bendigo people wanting to make reading an essential part of the community’s thinking was “Create your own world”, and make it “impressive”. In other words, when you are competing with sport and other entertainments, you have to make sure reading doesn’t sound like a dull and difficult alternative. Bendigo Library’s Vivien Newton also spoke at the event, which was organised by the National Year of Reading. She talked about the new book club readers’ sets now available in the library, and also a new venture launched this week at the Castlemaine railway station. Rolling Stock is a shelf of books which commuters are invited to borrow freely. The opening week was so successful, the shelf is already looking depleted This is an idea that is growing in all kinds of places: no doubt it will be a topic at the inaugural Bendigo Writers Festival, August 10, 11 and 12 at the Capital Theatre in View Street. To keep up to date on BWF and other book news, join the Bendigo Weekly Bookclub, by emailing bookclub@bendigoweekly.com.au and we’ll send out a weekly bulletin. – Rosemary Sorensen

Escape to the country

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, February 24, 2012

Steve steps up the health kick, and takes to the road NUMBERS are not my strong point, but since I have taken on the health kick I have become adept at counting. In the few weeks I have been cutting back on food, I have learnt about BMI and what makes someone overweight. I have had blood pressure monitors and blood taken and enough pathology reports to form a small volume. Not really looked at calories, except I think I am on about 800 a day. I accept that’s not many, but I never used to count, didn’t want to know. I will give you a quick run down, and then change the subject. Days since alcohol 55. This must be a near record for me, and I feel better, richer too. Weight has gone down from 128 kilograms to 115.6kg. That’s a shade less than 10 per cent of body weight at 12.4kg. The all-important BMI is now 37.1. That’s still very high, but heading in the right direction.

STEVE KENDALL ON LIFE

See what I mean about numbers? Various blood figures show positive improvement, though still some room for action. It’s pretty clear being overweight is very bad for your health, but I guess we all knew that. I have now started the exercise, and am in training for the Mother’s Day Classic on May 13. Plenty of time to pick up the pace from gentle walking through to a four kilometre run. These summer evenings are perfect for a stroll. I know I am committed to it because I spent money on some running shoes. If you are looking for a goal, why not consider signing up for it, too? The story continues as part of the Bendigo Better Health Club. While I have been obsessing on diet and health, the sheep who were last men-

tioned some time ago have grown into escape artists. Having eaten all of the roses, my darling Piglet and Lamb Chop decided to head west. Not for gold, but the greener pastures of my neighbour’s verandah. The girls have never been respecters of boundaries, and to them a fence is something to go under or through. This is not a clever thing for six-month-old lambs, who to most people would look rather good as a roast. I could not eat them, but thousands would.

Choose a house you like. Create a home you love.

The fleece would be handy, too. The upshot of all of this is they have been re-homed. A naughty-sheep home with high wires and lots of grass. They escaped the first night by scaling the wire. Now I know this sounds unlikely, but I can assure you it’s true. They had picked up the skill while stripping the lower branches of shrubs in our garden, this had involved using fences for a leg up. Once they were recap-

tured they spent time in the cooler while the fences were made sheep proof – if such a thing were possible. I think it was all a plan for better accommodation, because now they have access to a shed and can ruminate in there. Last weekend the longsuffering Mrs Kendall took me to visit them. Like a prison visit really. We were let into the pen, and they were sulking at us. Real attitude because we had banished them from our place.

Lots of people would say sheep are dumb – don’t you believe it. The girls are canny. While I was visiting I was offered a couple of young rams. Fine young boys with heritage stretching back to Suffolk on the east coast of England. This is the start of the breeding cluster soon to be on the new Kendall farm. Handsome boys they were too. Roger and Dick, welcome to the flock.

By George! EARLY in the 20th century, one of the many children enrolled at the Bendigo North State School was a certain lass called Laura Buchanan. According to the records, Laura May Buchanan was born at Eaglehawk on May 25, 1907; so, we can safely say that she started school in the following decade. My interest in Laura stems from the fact that she lived in Arnold Street. Laura’s father’s occupation was given as “motorman”. He was employed by the Electric Supply Company of Victoria which, apart from supplying direct current electricity to those citizens of Bendigo who could afford being connected, was also the franchisee of the Bendigo Tramways. The Bendigo trams ran on direct current electricity as they still do today. What was the task of a motorman? Perhaps this is most easily answered by stating that Laura’s father was a tram driver. In February, 1899 the Bendigo Tramway Company, which had been operating steam trams for a number of years, sold their assets to the British Insulated Wire Company which was the parent company of ESCo.

WITH

JAMES LERK In 1901, work began with the construction of the tram depot, power house and ancillary buildings. These are still in existence and continue to be used, although the power house is no longer used as such. The first of Bendigo’s

POWER BRAKES: The magnetic brake slippers are on the rails, centre of the truck. service for passengers was begun to Eaglehawk. Initially only two trams plied the route,

trams still rely on today in order to operate. The DC power is transferred from the trolley wire through the trolley pole via the tram motorman’s controller to the electric motors, through the rails back to the power source. The amount of power to the motors was controlled by George, his right hand on the controller handle. The electricity was transferred to the traction motors via resistors, which governed the amount of power coming through and so the speed. There were about eight or nine notches on the controllers, four or so would bring the motors

of passengers. ESCo insisted that their motormen do as much coasting with their trams as possible. ESCo placed electricity meters on the controllers to see which motormen were wasting power; they would have their wages docked accordingly. There was also the ability to apply a magnetic brake via the controller. The two brake slippers of the magnetic brake can be seen on the rails just to the right of the conductor in the side view photograph. In the end view of the tram car, on the left above the front apron, a goosenecked brass handle is evident.

STRAW DOGS: Sam deBlank, builder Brendan Wild and owner Shane Hodson. Above: Detail of a straw bale wall Photos: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Hay fever spreads YOU can huff and puff as much as you like: these three blokes reckon you won’t be able to blow their house of straw down. Brendan Wild and his off-sider, Sam deBlank, are putting up a straw studio in Strathfieldsaye for homeowner (and concreter) Shane Hodson. It’s been around for 100 years, but it’s only in the last decade that it’s started to take off in Australia, gradually challenging the mud-brick as the material du choix for the alternative housing market.

At $7 a bale, and with a decent-sized studio needing between 150 and 200 bales, it’s cost-efficient building, according to Shane. But what really attracts

a “good environmental thing to do�. He says the hay, instead of being burned off, and adding to carbon pollution, becomes a very handy building product.

You go into a straw bale house when it’s really hot... and the temperature is perfect him is its unbeatable insulation. “You go into a straw bale house when it’s really hot outside and the temperature is perfect,� he said. For Brendan, it’s just

When the thick wall is rendered, you can’t tell the difference from any conventional building, but it’s so cool to have a straw bale house, most builders like to put in a “truth window�, a little hole in the internal

wall which shows off the straw. According to Brendan, termites don’t like straw and he’s never yet come across any creepy-crawly lurking in the bales. Shane has had a dose of hay fever this week, as the building duo stack the bales to make his new studio walls, so he’ll be pleased when the rendering seals up the pesky straw. As for the look of the building, he’s almost confident the family will approve. “I’ll tell you when it’s finished,� he said.

HIDDEN WORLDS

Former lives on show Forest Street excavations in 2009 show a potted history of Bendigo’s past through discarded homewares By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

CHAMBER pots, tea sets, ceramic laying eggs, an opium pipe bowl. Chipped, broken, fragmented, stained. The precious detritus of former lives is currently on show at the Post Office Gallery on Pall Mall. Hidden Worlds is the first chance for Bendigonians to see what archaeologists dug up in 2009 from the Forest Street site owned by RSD Chartered Accountants and Haven (Loddon Mallee Housing Services). D a v i d B a n n e a r from Heritage Victoria and Bendigo archaeologist Helen Cronin explain how the dig came about in the small book accompanying the exhibition. The Heritage Act introduced in 1995 obliged developers to fund archeological excavations on sites that are likely to yield useful and important historical information. Forest Street was just such a site, and for five weeks, a team led by well-known archaeologist Adam Ford, scraped, sifted and collected. Dennis O’Hoy, who has done so much for Bendigo colonial history both as a collector and an academic historian, was on hand to document the process. The exhibition has a display of photographs supplied by Den-

and the Cornish Miner settlement in Golden Gully from the 1880s. But this Forest Street dig show seems so current, so new, that the atmosphere in the gallery is almost spooky.

There are distant voices rising from beneath the floorboards, swirling around the little broken doll’s head, the fragment of china, the William White clay pipe. In the stillness of the gallery, there is a stirring of the past, somehow more powerfully real in each small partial object than even big-budget films. Mr Bannear and Ms Cronin explain how this project used a hand-in-hand process, where history and archaeology moved forward in tandem. A historian fossicked in the archives of the Goldfields Library as well as the State Library and the Public Records Office. From official documents and rates books, as well as one-off documents such as a 1935 fire insurance survey, they pieced together a story about the kinds of buildings that occupied the Forest Street site, and their uses from as early as 1856. We gather clues about not only who lived in this part of Bendigo in the 19th century, but also about what was important to them. One of the lucky things about this particular site – and why it was deemed of interest under the Heritage Act – was the fact that it had been used in the recent past as a car park and warehouse. “Open air carparks have one archaeologically friendly fea-

ture,� the Heritage Victoria team tells us. “They have no foundations. “The car parks effectively sealed the story of the site at the time the last building was demolished.� They do, however, note that pre-colonial history is much harder to trace in the ground. While the Jaara people were in the area before European settlement, any evidence of their lives has most likely been destroyed by the busy digging and building that went on in the frenzied goldrush days. What’s really interesting about this show is how we have come to value, and even find beautiful, broken things. There was a time when no selfrespecting gallery would put on

show a bowl with its sides cracked and its base missing. Now, as we accept and embrace a kind of new-Romanticism born of a desire to link with the past (think of the passion for genealogy), we find such an object poignant and lovely. Heritage Victoria archaeologist Jeremy Smith was in town yesterday to talk about the show. He said it will take another six months to stabilise all the objects found on the site, including things made from perishable materials such as leather. He said HV is keen to see the objects eventually returned to go on show in Bendigo. “If a proposal comes forward, we’d like to support that,� he said. “There are a few tentative ideas

from the owners themselves, but if the objects don’t find a home in Bendigo they will become part of our collection and still be accessible to students and community groups.� Mr Smith said, providing the site is identified early, before building begins, corporate owners are often very proud of being custodians of history.

ENTERTAINED

TAN’s bAck IN TowN BEN CAMERON

for Australia’s one time Queen of Pop Tania Doko, it’s high time for a bit of good old fashioned self indulgence. After spending the past few years writing songs for others, like former pop matriarch Taylor Dane, she’s back to expressing what’s in her own heart, not guessing what could be in others. Actually she wants to do a lot more than just give it a gentle tug. “I want to rip your heart out now,� she laughs. “That’s what I’m up for.� for Doko, her next (“very autobiographical�) solo album will hopefully be a return to her glory years of the late 1990s, where songs like Buses and Trains and Permission To Shine from pop opus Waiting for The Day, were flogged to within an inch of their lives. “This is definitely heart on my sleeve, it’s really going back to Waiting for The Day,� she says. “That record was incredibly heart on my sleeve. “I spent a lot of time doing electro rock (She Said Yes), that kind of doofy DJ stuff, but now it’s like at 37 years of age, I want to tell real stories.� She’s keeping it real and she’s back in Australia after spending much of 2011 in Stockholm, a city seemingly teeming with heavy duty pop writers. “It’s such a songwriting mecca,� Doko says. “Not long ago seven of the Top Ten Billboard Chart producers in the US were Swedish. “There’s something in the water, they grow them on trees. If I wanted to write with somebody different every day, I could do it easily.� She says tailoring a song for the headspace of another artist was mostly a gamble. “You want to understand the flavour of the artist you’re writing for,� she says. “It’s a bit like Tattslotto, you have to take a gamble and take a guess. “(And) it’s like the muscle you have to keep flexing.� The move to Sweden was an attempt to get out of her comfy Melbourne existence. “Australia has been very kind to me, but I had to get out of my comfort zone. Just for the predictability of what I knew,�

Luke owens Tania Doko she says. “That’s provided the perfect backdrop to write these songs (for the album). “You’ve got your people that you really trust (in Melbourne), but that doesn’t happen overnight (in Sweden). “finding those people, you’re going to bump your head up against the wall. “You experience things you haven’t experienced for years. All of a sudden you’ve got something to write about. “That’s what this record is about for me, working relationships, intensity, heartache, fun, all of it, all because I felt new and improved in Sweden.� Doko and James roche were the pop king and queen in the late 90s, but she says they were first oddities, in a industry that couldn’t define them. “We were asked to go on recovery, before anybody knew we were a pop band,� she says. “I guess radio decides what you are... but we were on recovery which was quite an indie program. “Then the big stations jumped onto us like madmen, and the rest is history. “But for five minutes there we were a little bit odd.� oddities, stars then eventually victims of music label belt tightening, six years after the pop juggernaut that was Waiting for The Day. “2004 was probably the worst time in the music

business,� she says. “Sony and BMG merged and as a result most of the BMG acts were a casualty of that merger and we were one of them. “We could have gone to another label, there was still a bit of currency for Bachelor Girl, but we didn’t. “James got married and went over and produced in London and worked for the BBC, and I started She Said Yes. “Then I started the songwriting thing and got some cuts overseas.� It was only until she was outside the spotlight, she appreciated the effect their songs had. “After Bachelor Girl I did some youth work, because I’ve got a background in criminology, I felt fortunate I could still sing these Bachelor Girl songs,� she says. “Some of them were lightweight, but a lot of them... there’s a lot behind them, some substantial meaning. “And these kids were latching onto Permission To Shine, because they mean something. 13 years later that’s pretty cool for them to still pretty relevant. “You know, we did something that meant something to people, that’s pretty cool. “I am the girl in Bachelor Girl to some extent, always.� Tania Doko plays The Palais Hepburn Springs on February 24

Talented musos Luke owens, Craig Morley and Dave Turpie are gathering a troupe of Bendigo musicians to write and record a Christmas track, and hopefully raise $100,000 to help combat the local problem of homeless people. “I first came up with the idea just after our first Unplugged for Charity fundraiser,� owens says, which began at The Golden Vine last Sunday. “I have always been passionate about homeless youth and I wanted to do something bigger.

“I am constantly inspired by Michael Jackson and Lionel richie’s 1985 single We Are The World that raised millions of dollars for humanitarian aid.� owens is thinking (and planning) big. Not just in terms of song lengthexpected to go for roughly six or seven minutes- but collaboration. “I want approximately 25 soloists, a 50 piece choir and 10 piece orchestral band to take part,� he said. owens is hoping to perform the song during Bendigo’s Christmas Carols event in December. “The song will be a tribute to the children who don’t have the privilege of enjoying Christmas,� he said. “Hopefully it will reach out to the heart of the community

Spraypave the way ahead

DRAB concrete does nothing for your home. However, there is a solution with Spraypave, which allows you to transform an unattractive area into an appealing outdoor area. Suitable for concrete driveways, patios, verandahs, carports and pool areas, Spraypave offers an affordable and versatile solution, with over 20 different patterns and 35 colours to choose from. Spraypave Central Victoria is owned and operated by Shane Gilchrist, who has an extensive background in the concreting field, with 25 years expertise as a qualified concreter. Thanks to his extensive knowledge, Shane is best able to advise customers of the potential of their existing concrete. He also offers honest advice if he believes the current product is beyond surfacing.

“Clients can transform concrete areas into almost any desired look for a more appealing finish; however the product also offers a practical option in that we can turn worn or slippery areas into non-slip finishes,� he said. Shane also said that Spraypave is applied with a seven year guarantee. “The finished product dries to 45 MPA, which is twice the strength of regular concrete, is UV protected and slip and stain resistant.� In addition, Shane said, Spraypave offers a great follow-up service to all their customers. “We are always available to clients after the job is finished if they have any further queries or need information.� Spraypave is a popular and easy alternative to paving, tiling or painting.

session learning how to protect our pelvic floor during physical activities. The no cost Fun Fitness and the Pelvic Floor Seminar is being held on March 6 between 7pm and 9pm.

WE E K LY CYCLING

Right down to the wire MORE than 90 riders lined up in three grades for last Sunday’s Café Roubaix Summer Series cycling action at Mayfair Park. In the Ronde Gloves C Grade contest, Tom Floyd won an enthralling race over series leader Mat Runnalls and Michael Smythe. The trio have been the most consistent and powerful riders in the series and the battle for the overall Ronde Gloves aggregate looks like going right down to the wire. An incredible 41 riders then took to the tight circuit for the Hume and Iser B Grade race, with Nick Gates winning from Peter Angove, Charlie Fitzpatrick and Justin Leske. Then it was the turn of the Symes Motors A Grade cyclists, and 28 rid-

ers set out to upstage Darren Lapthorne in his farewell race before he heads overseas. After the previous couple of weeks, where Lapthorne managed to lap the field seemingly with ease, this week it took the wily pro 45 minutes to achieve the feat, working with David Pell, Brendan Schultz, Robbie Hucker, Mark O’Brien and Sean Finning. This was not to be Lapthorne’s day however, with Pell staying away to record a well deserved win from Schultz, Robbie Hucker and then Lapthorne and O’Brien. Marshals were Petar Benjamin and Paul Bowe, with a revolving door of riders covering each other’s grades. Racing continues this Sunday from 9am.

Meeting for the ride

WEEKLYSPORT GOALS GALORE KANGAROO FLAT defeated North Central 69-49 and Golden Square thumped South Bendigo 62-28 in the Open grade of the North Central Regional State Netball League. While in the 17 and Under division South Bendigo smashed Lockington Bamawm 78-19 and Echuca and District edged out South Bendigo 38-36.

HAT TRICK: Reardon McIvor.

TAKE A BREAK: The HasBeens on holidays BENDIGO bike riding groups range from serious, competitive groups to informal, recreational groups who regularly ride for the exercise and friendship. The HashBrown HasBeens started more 20 years ago with three or four riders and now has nine regulars who meet for a weekly ride. The name is a description of the ages of most of the riders, as one member coined, “when we look in a mirror, it’s obvious why we’re called HasBeens, most of us are retired or semi-retired. “The HashBrown name comes from their regular habit of starting from a McDonalds and finishing there for breakfast”. The group ride starts at 7am (7.30am during the winter) for a 2530km ride around Bendigo, using a variety of routes. On the last Sunday of each month, the group does an off-road ride on mountain bikes, riding through the many and varied forests and parklands which surround Bendigo. Even though many of the riders are long-term inhabitants of Bendigo, it is always surprising to them to discover all sorts of new, interesting sights and places which exist in and around our city. Sometimes, after these off-road rides, the group finishes up at someone’s house where breakfast is provided. Besides the regular rides, the group has one or two weekends away every year, to explore the many and varied bike trails and routes in other regional centres. A few of the group own caravans so they usually all camp at a caravan park and explore the local surrounds. The wives usually come along too, with some of them riding as well, or just enjoying and exploring the venue. The group has visited Gippsland, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Northeast, and even the Barossa Valley on one long weekend. One highlight was in 2003, when

EDDIE BARKLA most of the group completed the Great Victorian Bike Ride along the Great Ocean Road. On one of the nights they talked their way into staying at a convent, although religion was not high on the priority list for night-time discussions. Another regular feature for the HHs is the annual awards night, where members are acknowledged for outstanding or unusual achievements. There are awards for the rider who has had the most falls, the most punctures, the laziest rider, the sexiest rider and the like. Needless to say, some of the real facts are often overlooked in judging some of these awards. The overall award is called the Brophy Trophy. The trophy itself depicts an upended bike and rider and was originally given to the rider who had the most falls. However, now it is awarded on votes from each of the group as to who contributed most to the group’s activities during the year. There is also a hotly contested award for the ladies as to who provided the best breakfast after the monthly off-road rides. Over the years there have been many memorable and enjoyable events. One outstanding achievement, which stands out, occurred just before the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006. The group were enjoying their hash-browns one Sunday morning when a family walked past. A very bright eight-year-old boy said to his mother, in a loud voice while pointing at the group, “Look Mum. “There’s some Commonwealth Games athletes.” This accolade has inspired the group for years. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

Taking it seriously

EAGLEHAWK BOUND

From Page 40 After having the first batsmen caught in gully, McIvor cleaned bowled his friend. “He tried to block it but it hit the top of the bails,” McIvor said. For the hat trick ball McIvor kept pretty much the same field, and found the pegs again, after the batsmen tried to smash the ball out of the park. “I felt pretty crazy,” McIvor said, as all his team mates rushed in to congratulate him. Luckily, his father was watching from square leg. Pink Stumps Day also raised over $1500 for the McGrath Foundation.

JUNIOR table tennis stars will descend on Eaglehawk this weekend for the Bendigo and Junior Under 21 Table Tennis Tournament. Entries are approaching 100 for this year’s tournament – the best result ever – which has been granted Top Four status by Table Tennis Australia, in recognition of how well the event has been run in recent years. It means players will play for double points, which counts towards selection in state teams. “There will be 18 tables set up with plenty of room for spectators,” Bendigo District Table Tennis Association assistant secretary

Jeff Grubb said. “(And) we have the best junior table tennis players in the state competing, and there are a couple from interstate as well.” Competition starts at 9.30am with doubles this Sunday at the Bendigo and District Table Tennis Association stadium in Eaglehawk For info call Jeff on 0487 411 412.

NAME GAME TO HIT THE RIGHT MARK BENDIGO BEARS? Bendigo Bandits? Bendigo Boogeymen? With a new blue and gold jumper, a new website and club theme song, the Bendigo Bombers has just about been consigned to the waste bin of local sporting history. All Bendigo Football Club needs now is a new name. And supporters can help out by going to the new site www.bendigofc.com. au and follow the prompts to submit their nickname. The fan with the best name will win a major prize.

Teaching the skills of the game ON LINE: Andre Goossens with Ryan, Jaimie, Sky and Summer.. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN LOCAL kids are learning all the skills of lawn bowls from one of the best in the business. Marong Bowls Club’s Andre Goossens recently beat a field of hundreds to be named the best community coach in Victoria for Term Four last year.

The award recognises his outstanding achievements in coaching within the Active Afterschool Communities program, after Goossens delivered more than 70 sessions at 12 different schools over the past 18 months. Starting last Thursday, Goos-

sens began the first of seven lawn bowls sessions for Lightning Reef Primary School students this term, at North Bendigo Bowls Club. For more info about the AASC program visit www.ausport. gov.au/aasc

Emu Valley Cricket Association – Division 1

season end heat is on As the weather starts to cool down the action heats up in the penultimate round of the 2011/12 Emu Valley Cricket Association season. spring Gully continue their charge up the ladder, already securing first innings points after dismissing Axe Creek for 90 on the back of some excellent bowling by Nick Manley (5/32) and good support from veteran Peter stepien (2/22). spring Gully resume this week with a lead of 13 at 2/103 with shaun Makepeace leading the way with 49 and Ricky Mannix (26 not out) looking ominous with the bat. sedgwick will be looking to send retiring veteran and one of the most decorated Emu Valley Cricket Association stalwarts scott McKenzie out on a high as they resume at 0/12 chasing Emu Creek’s 236. Brad Rowe (66), simon Marwood (40), Darren Thompson (40) and Ray McCarthur (34) ensured Emu Creek set a respectable target that won’t be easy for the sedgwick batting line up to overhaul given their recent batting woes. But with the sun setting on the career of one of their best players of the last 20 years they should be fired up to do their ex skipper proud. West Bendigo could only muster 127 against United, helped by Darren Thompson (36), with Alex Collins (4/30) the best of the United bowlers, while Mick Frilay, Tom Hartney and Tim Gleeson taking two wickets apiece. It shouldn’t take United long to pass the target as they resume

State of play MORE than 150 of the state’s top bowlers will converge on Bendigo next month for the Men’s and Women’s Bowls Victoria state Championships City of Greater Bendigo mayor Alec sandner and Bowls Victoria chief executive officer Peter Hanlon made the announcement yesterday. Hundreds of lawn bowlers from around the state battled through elimination rounds to became regional champions and will now compete in singles, pairs, triples and fours events. “The Bowls Victoria event is something of a landmark as it is the first time that the men’s and women’s state championship finals in these events have been conducted simultaneously and at the same venue, “Mr Hanlon said. The championships will be

at 0/105 this week, with Tim Elliott (53 not out) and Alex Collins (47 not out) looking comfortable at the crease. scott Ross (39 not out) and Tom Huf (21 not out) safely took Marong to stumps and well on the way to victory chasing the target of 162 set by Golden Gully. Will Horan (43), Jeremy Rogerson (33) and Brendon Lummis (25) led the way for Golden Gully as Darren Cosgriff again took the bowling honours for Marong with 3/19. Mandurang, for the third consecutive round, passed the 300 mark as they set Maiden Gully the task of chasing 330 for victory, in a very even team performance. Robbie Haw (71) was best for Mandurang but Leigh Haw saw the downside of cricket. Following scores of 120 and 123 in his previous two outings, Haw was dismissed for a duck after being brilliantly caught at gully by the diving Mark Roberts. This week saw the final round robin matches of the Major League Indoor sports Bash For Cash competition as Maiden Gully (4/106) just scraped home against sedgwick (104), West Bendigo (1/162) defeated Marong (8/128), strathfieldsaye (7/116) defeated Axe Creek (109), Emu Creek (6/130) were too good for spring Gully (6/122), Kangaroo Flat (3/111) had too much fire power for Golden Gully (5/94) and Mandurang (6/138) proved too good for United (8/80). Finals action starts next Tuesday at Tannery Lane and Club Court from 5.30pm, with the final to be played under lights at Club Court from 8.15pm.

Team sheet in focus

ALL OVER: Leigh Haw bats for Mandurang against Golden Gully.

sECOND placed Bendigo United is in danger of falling out of the EVCA top four after a team sheet discrepancy. It was a dirty day at Ewing Park on saturday for fourth placed West Bendigo in Round 11 of Division One, after being rolled for a paltry 127 and United cruising to 0/105. However, according to a senior source United alleg-

edly changed one of the player’s names on the team sheet at tea and didn’t say anything. West Bendigo have lodged an official protest, so United is in danger of losing the match, regardless of the result this saturday. EVCA president Ron Gray said a decision would be made at a league board meeting on Monday night.

New Spirit board has one goal in mind...

Aim for the top

By BEN CAMERON

THE new Bendigo Spirit board has a big goal in mind for the club’s future – make it the number one sporting team in the region. After a disappointing Womens National Basketball League season both on and off the court, fresh hope comes after a major shake up at board level on Monday night, which saw nine new faces join. One is successful businessman Chris Richards. “My aim is to make it the number one sporting team for all Central Victorians,” he said. “The main reason we want to be involved is because we see the Bendigo Spirit being important to Bendigo. “It’s Bendigo’s only national sporting team, it’s got opportunities to promote Bendigo to Australia. “(But) some changes are needed to make the Bendigo Spirit a long term sustainable part of the community.” Richards, also a Bendigo Football Netball League board member, ramped up his in-

volvement with the club after learning of their off-court woes earlier in the season. “I’ve always had an interest in making the Spirit successful,” Richards said, whose company, My Jet, is also a club sponsor. “And when the issues went public, that there wasn’t perhaps a strong sustainable

This board is really about the future, not the past business model, a group of us thought we should get involved a bit more.” Some high profile business people have joined Richards on the board, including Sue DeAraugo (Bendigo Toyota) and Ray Wild (Ray Wild Plumbing), who will review the club and implement a sustainable road

Reardon takes his game seriously

map for the future. “The plan is to review what has happened but not dwell on the past,” Richards said. “This board is really about the future, not the past. “We’ll make changes where necessary, especially around corporate structure, and coming up with a sustainable business model. “There’s a good skill set for what’s required.” Richards, who has a business background in agriculture, is driven by a need to put “proper structures within business, and putting in strategic plans, to really make it successful”, and helped implement similar structures proposed with the Spirit, with the BFNL, where he’s been a board member for the past six years. “The aim of the new (Spirit) board is to do something along those lines,” he said. “Put in a structure that separates the corporate governance role of a board and the strategic role of a board, with the operations of the business, and the day to day running of a sporting team,” he said.

YOUNG Bendigo United cricketer Reardon McIvor has learnt friendships count for nothing during the heat of battle on the cricket field. Reardon (pictured) who also opens the batting for his 11A team, took a hat trick last Saturday morning on Pink Stumps Day at Harry Trott Oval, with his second victim one of his best mates.
