ABANDONED PRIVATE HANDS: Fortuna will be sold on the open market.

Fortuna just too hot to handle

Bendigo Weekly COMMENT

THE Federal Government has washed its hands of Fortuna Villa, potentially resulting in the property being lost to the Bendigo public forever. The Bendigo Weekly online revealed on Tuesday that one of the city’s greatest historical assets would be sold on the open market. Federal Defence Parliamentary Secretary David Feeney told the City

â–

of Greater Bendigo council, the State Government and Member for Bendigo Steve Gibbons on March 23 that any deal was gone. The final decision was the result of eight and half years of impotence from all levels of government, and their collective inability to stand up

and make tough decisions. Such dilly-dallying has resulted in this crisis. All governments have put Fortuna in the too-hard basket and the scab of political inactivity is now a scar on Bendigo’s cultural heritage. The reaction to the news For-

tuna will soon be advertised for sale stunned those involved. The Federal Government didn’t want to budge, keen to sell it for market price instead of making any concessions. Yes, those concessions were big – donating the site and throwing in $10

million – but a compromise could have been made. Under the plan, the State Government would put in $7 million and the council $3 million. That, it seems, was even too hot for them. At the end of the day the community has lost out because governments wanted to protect their bottom lines.

THE Pearce family’s lives have been on a rollercoaster the past few months. Eight weeks ago Eliza Pearce had never heard of the Mother’s Day Classic and her mum, Lucy, was fit and healthy enjoying a new gym membership and her work at BUPA. Then just at the time Eliza’s best friend, Rachel, suggested they take part in the Bendigo Mother’s Day Classic, Lucy fronted up to Breastscreen for her bi-annual mammogram. Lucy wasn’t overly concerned when she received a call back due to an abnormality detected in her x-ray. The ensuing ultrasound was also inconclusive so a biopsy followed and Lucy and husband David attended the oncology department for the outcome. “They gently informed me my biopsy returned a positive breast cancer result and worse, it had spread to my bones,� she said. “We were told little could be done to help but they would make sure I was kept comfortable.� After breaking the news to their younger family members (Eliza, 23, and Jack, 19), the Pearces went into a state of shock and disbelief before rallying together to support Lucy. Communication-savvy Eliza immediately registered for the Mother’s Day Classic as an online fundraiser and participant in this year’s Bendigo event. “I used social networks to spread the word,� she said. “I just wanted to do anything

to help and realised research is vital to preventing and finding a cure for breast cancer.� Eliza is the leading online fundraiser for the Bendigo Mother’s Day Classic with $1325. “Donations are coming in from all age groups and I have had one anonymous donor for $500 which blew me away,� she said. “Rachel and I have now enlisted four other friends to walk with us and I’m still feverishly fundraising.� For Lucy, the cancer news was followed by sleepless nights and emotional days. Eventually she visited her GP for help with her anxiety and gratefully agreed to have a second opinion. Next day she saw a Melbourne oncologist. After three weeks contemplating her demise, her spirits were lifted. The oncologist told her he had successfully treated far worse cases than hers and she should “go home, have a couple of glasses of red wine and plan her future.� One round of chemotherapy and Herceptin treatment behind her, with five to go, Lucy is still a picture of health and her positivity is inspirational. “I still feel perfectly healthy and I’ve still got a good appetite.

PLANNING AHEAD: Breast cancer patient Lucy Pearce and daughter Eliza. Photo: VICKI HARRINGTON I’m not going anywhere.� she said. “I’m going to be back at work and the gym as soon as this is all behind me�. Even the prospect of losing her beautiful long hair does not faze her; she has already had it trimmed in preparation. “It’s only hair, it’ll grow again. I’m not wearing one of those awful synthetic wigs and I can’t afford a natural hair one,� she said. “I already have a great collection of trendy beanies from my friends.� The Pearce family is just one to be touched by breast cancer. There will be more than 15,000 others in Australia this year. You can help by supporting

the Bendigo Mother’s Day Classic fun run and walk on Sunday, May 13 at Beischer Park, Reservoir Road, Strathdale. If you’re not into running or walking, you can still make a difference by volunteering to help. Organisers are delighted this year’s event is receiving record support and Bendigo is currently leading the nation in online registrations for regional areas. Online registrations close at noon on Wednesday, May 9 with on-the-day registrations open from 7.30am for 8km runners and 8am for 8km walkers and 4km runners and walkers.

Hotel may be shopfront

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

THE developer behind the Victoria Hotel accommodation proposal in Eaglehawk may put retail outlets in the historic building. “I don’t walk away from things,” Ivar Hunt said yesterday. “I’ve got approval to put a bar next to the bottleshop and that was always part of the overall plan, so I’m going to start work on that in the next couple of weeks. “I’ve either got to proceed with the rooms or there are a lot of other possibilities that will make that building into a viable business. “Anything else I do will be hospitality or retail which may compete with other businesses in the street, and that’s perhaps not best for Eaglehawk.” The City of Greater Bendigo council voted unanimously on

Wednesday not to grant a permit for 21 rooms and external alterations to the High Street building. Council’s planners had recommended approval of the application, because the proposal meets “State Planning Policy and Council’s own planning policies”. However, a 75-page petition and 211 objections, and the presence of 80 Eaglehawk residents and business owners at the council meeting, turned the tide against

down I always thought it wouldn’t go ahead. “I believe there will be a challenge that the developer will take to VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal), but he has to get a building permit and the mayor (Alec Sandner) has already said he won’t get it.” Ms Webster said she would like to see the building turned into a “museum or gallery for Eaglehawk”.

Anything else I do will be hospitality or retail which may compete with other businesses the proposal. “We are very happy,” campaign organiser Michelle Webster said. “I had my doubts the councillors would reject it, but deep

Mr Hunt said he had not yet decided if he will challenge the decision at VCAT. “I think the resistance to the proposal is all based on social

economic discrimination,” Mr Hunt said. “With council, they have people making a lot of noise and they

take the easy path. “It creates an environment where people won’t want to invest in Bendigo.”

By ANTHONY RADFORD

Bendigo welcomes free-range kids IT’S not so bad for children growing up now, according to one of the experts who attended this week’s Child Friendly Cities conference in Bendigo. “But there is a hell of a long way to go.” British researcher Tim Gill joined New York founder of the Free Range Kids movement Lenore Skenazy and founder of Hands Across the Water Peter Baines at the two-day event, which attracted more than 200 attendees from around Australia.

Mr Gill advocated getting a child-centric view of Bendigo and creating a vision of the way the city would look if it was a good place for kids. “The crucial thing is to think about how children experience the world and that’s not the same thing as asking them for their views,” Mr Gill said. “Sometimes, children growing up today have quite limited experience, and they might not know what it’s like to walk to school on their own.

“What’s more important than asking them what they want is to take decisions that reflect their experience and what we know about what matters to children.” The conference included the launch of a new VicHealth initiative as part of Victoria Walks, an online “free-range” children’s walk which maps a short itinerary through the city. Mr Gill said Bendigo should revisit their Walk Bendigo strategy, despite it being so unpopular.

“We need politicians to be brave,” he said. “Just because there have been setbacks doesn’t mean the policy is wrong. “One of the things politicians have to do better is sell a vision of what Bendigo would be like and why Bendigo could be better if more people walked, if more kids got around on their own, and, to be blunt, if more people stood up to some of the vested interests that are against the idea of slowing down cars.”

CONTROVERSIAL City of Greater Bendigo councillor Lisa Ruffell has gone back on her word and renewed her Liberal Party membership. After the 2008 council election, Cr Ruffell made a point of quitting the party. “I am on council now and I am representing my ward, so I won’t be renewing my membership,” she said. “I want to make it perfectly clear to the community I am here for them first and foremost.” However, Cr Ruffell this week confirmed she had renewed her membership. “At the time I thought I was doing the right thing, but it didn’t make a difference,” she said. “Other councillors are still members of political parties, and it doesn’t seem to change anything.” Cr Ruffell said it was advantageous to council to renew her membership now the Liberal Party held government in Victoria. “When the Labor Party was in power it was a problem for them,” she said. “It is not a problem for the current government. “From my point of view I feel more comfortable talking to this government and I think

it is a benefit to the council to have the lines of communication open, unlike in the past.” Cr Ruffell said she expected criticism about her decision. “I’m sure the usual suspects won’t be happy, but there is no evidence that me being a Liberal Party member in any way has affected my voting on council or my views to other councillors,” she said. “There is also no way it has adversely affected my ability to represent my ward. In fact, it has probably enhanced it.” Cr Ruffell said she was not running for preselection as a federal or state government candidate. “I had thought about preselection, but I wanted to focus on representing the local community and focus on them,” she said. “I also have two grandchildren on the way, and that changes your priorities.”

Childcare and park fees rise

By BEN CAMERON

CHILDCARE and parking fees are on the rise, but green waste charges have been slashed in half, after the City of Greater Bendigo rubber-stamped its annual fees and charges on Wednesday night. While council increased the weekly rate of its longday-care centres for those over three from $285 to $325, and $335 for under threes. Sandhurst Ward councillor James Reade said the rise was unavoidable due to legislated child-staff ratio changes. “On paper it looks like

Council hikes some charges, but slashes green waste cost in an attempt to tackle growing problem of rubbish disposal a big jump... but we are trying to implement legislation changes around universal access to childcare,” he said. “Don’t think we’re trying to make money out of this, we still lose nearly $600,000 a year on childcare in Bendigo. “I think we’re still the cheapest in Bendigo.” Fees will also rise in the areas of aged care, recreation (specifically swim-

ming pools), waste service, environmental health and parking; charges Cr Reade said were “modest” and

fees will be cut by 50 per cent, as Strathfieldsaye Ward councillor Keith Reynard called for a more effective education strategy

on waste disposal. With rising disposal costs, and a carbon tax about to come into effect, Cr Reynard said raising fees alone will not solve Bendigo’s poor track record on waste. “The days of digging holes, throwing waste into it and thinking it’s not there are beyond us,” he said. “It’s a time for us to engage our communities

to reduce our waste collectively.” Kangaroo Flat Ward councillor Barry Lyons, who is also a member of the Calder Waste Management Group, said Bendigo faced many challenges. “The entire state is under a deluge of rubbish,” he said. “From all the promotional activities it doesn’t seem to have affected much. “And when we put prices up, people start dumping rubbish in the bush. “There needs to be a concerted effort from all governments under the one umbrella.”

DUGUID HEADS TO MELBOURNE THE man accused of murdering Bendigo newsagent Garry Angus will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court later this month, after his lawyers entered a “no plea”. Antony John Duguid, 46, was charged in October following the discovery of Mr Angus’ body at the back of his Pall Mall newsagency. Defence counsel Megan Aumair did not enter a plea for Mr Duguid, who appeared again by video link, “on the basis of mental impairment”. A directions hearing was set for Melbourne Magistrates Court on May 16.

City ‘let down’

at www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Fortuna in ‘too hard’ basket From Page 1 political football has finally been kicked out of bounds and out of the stadium. Meanwhile, the man who offered to buy the property and work with council to open it to he public at times has described the latest news as a shame. He asked not to be named and said when council rejected his plan, it had lost the one opportunity it had to keep it public. He no longer lives in Bendigo and is not interested in reviving his offer. “This is a dreadful shame. It will be subdivided off. Our suggestion would have worked,” he said. He is right. It would have. It should have been given more consideration and should have been part of a formal negotiation. Instead, it was lost among the shouting, self-interest and politicking, just like the building itself.

DARK DAYS: The door is seemingly closed on public ownership of Fortuna.

MEMBER for Bendigo West Maree Edwards, who campaigned on a potential deal that seemed unlikely to ever happen, attacked the State Government’s handling of Fortuna. “The Federal Government has given the Liberal National State Government every opportunity to secure Fortuna for the Bendigo community,” she said. “The State Government has let down Bendigo badly and haven’t worked hard enough to put in any application or submission to the Federal Government, instead leaving it to our community groups to do the hard work. “If the State Government had been fair dinkum about securing Fortuna for the Bendigo community they would have done the

hard work themselves in consort with the Federal Government and the community to get an outcome that was beneficial for the Bendigo community”. Nationals Member for Bendigo Damian Drum

There is no room for Labor to squirm labelled Ms Edwards comments as a “disgraceful joke”. “The facts on this are very, very clear. There is no room for Labor to squirm and wriggle,” he said. “Deputy Premier Peter

Ryan is on public record as saying that if the Federal Government accepted (John) Brumby’s plan, the new Coalition Government would have honoured it. “The Federal Government then said it would not offer Fortuna to Victoria on a concessional deal. Now it says it is putting it on the open market. “That’s what happened. “The Brumby business plan for Fortuna was ridiculed by all who saw it – even his own federal mates. “The situation has always been very clear: the Federal Government should have made Fortuna available to Bendigo after it had cleaned the site, restored the buildings and provided enough resources until a sustainable plan was put in place.”

Fortuna future ‘in the lap of the gods’ By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

NOT quite despair, but deep disappointment greeted the shock news that one of Bendigo’s historical assets will be sold off. “Once it’s in private hands, you’re at the mercy of the owners,” Villa Fortuna Action Group’s Terry Davidson said. “We may be lucky, and we may not, now it’s in the lap of the gods.”

Mr Davidson is pessimistic about Bendigonians rallying to ensure the Federal Department of Defence puts conditions on the sale to safeguard public access to the historic villa. “People are happy to have money spent on umpteen things but when you mention Fortuna, they say, oh that old place,” he said. Goldmines Hotel owner Rick Walduck, the convenor of a Fortuna support group, said there

will be close scrutiny of the sale terms when they are announced. “We need to know who is making the sale conditions and how they are being made,” he said. “It would seem unlikely it will have been made in isolation, so it’s important we get an understanding of the decision-making process. “The important thing is that there is public access.” Heritage Victoria executive officer Jim Gard’ner said there is

already a citation from the Australian Heritage Council which lists Fortuna as a significant site. “It recognises it for its historical associations with gold, and also, more recently, for the role it played with the Australian armed services,” he said. Mr Gard’ner said Heritage Victoria cannot accept a nomination for heritage listing until the property has been transferred from Commonwealth ownership. MF GMF0000048C

Politicians responded to the Federal Government’s decision by, as they have all along, blaming each other. Mayor Alec Sander’s first response was that he knew nothing about it, and he would be “shocked” if that was the case. He clarified his position later, saying he was disappointed in the Federal Government’s decision. Mr Gibbons blamed the State Government, despite the Brumby Government seeking a deal, saying his government had no options but to sell. So, too, did Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards, who announced she was using a Freedom of Information request to find out more. State Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum said Labor was trying to wriggle out of a deal and Ms Edwards’ version was “sick and twisted”. It looks like the

STATE BUDGET Funding cuts will slice into TAFE courses offered

SERVICE FALL: BRIT will have to reduce its range of courses.

BENDIGO TAFE will reduce the range of courses on offer in response to funding cuts in this week’s State Government budget. Cuts have been offset by increases in funding for apprenticeship training, but chief executive officer Maria Simpson said the announced changes will impact on the TAFE’s business plan this year. “The funding increase in the areas of apprenticeships and foundation skills is positive news for the institute,” Ms Simpson said. “It’s clear however that the reduction of funding in other areas will pose signifi-

cant challenges in terms of maintaining viable course offerings. “It means we have to reconsider the range of what we can offer or how we offer the courses.” Also announced in today’s budget is the reduction of maintenance funding which is expected to put “significant strain” on Bendigo, particularly the central city campus. “We have to rethink our use of facilities and space and consider whether there are more efficient ways to operate without compromising our delivery,” Ms Simpson said.

Funding adjourned for Bendigo court By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO’S embattled legal fraternity received no good news in this week’s state budget. The only new court building this year will be a new children’s court facility at Broadmeadows’ Magistrates’ Court, leaving Bendigo Magistrate’s Court in its current dilapidated state for another year. In education, Golden Square Primary receives $5 million for its classroom and administration upgrade. Castlemaine was the big winner locally, with $10 million to upgrade the hospital and $7 million for the modernisation of Castlemaine Secondary College. The Housing Industry Association has also condemned the State Government’s decision to cut the highly suc-

cessful State Government First Home Owners Bonus. The HIA called cutting the bonus a shortsighted decision. Nationals Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum said the budget invested more than $30 million in ma-

Mr Drum said other budget items which would be of “enormous importance” to our region included a major new investment in V/ Line carriages for regional Victoria.

Bird fanciers have their big day

Weekly’s push for transparency has solid backing

Cr Cox backs dummy battle CITY of Greater Bendigo Eaglehawk Ward councillor Peter Cox has come out in support of the Bendigo Weekly’s war on dummy candidates. Last month, the Weekly began a campaign calling for greater transparency and accountability from candidates running in October’s council election, to weed out dummy candidates and those running on a ticket. Dummy candidates are those who stand simply to direct preferences to someone else. Tickets are where two or three candidates run together to give each other their preferences, so they can be elected as a block. Dummy candidates and voting blocks can hamper the election process, and allow for single-issue or single-philosophy candidates to be elected. This, in turn, can

hamper and hinder the running of a future council, and lead to potential caucusing. To try and weed out the dummies and those running on tickets, the Weekly will send a questionnaire to all candidates, once nominations close. The questionnaire will be detailed and allow the

community to see where candidates stand on most issues, and where they intend to direct their preferences, as well as whether or not they are running as a block. Cr Cox threw his support behind the idea. “I agree that it is important that there is absolute transparency and accountability in regard to the coming council elec-

A BendIGo policeman heading up the investigation into the death of a kangaroo at an inner city car park last weekend has called for council to install video surveillance. Leading Senior Constable Pat Allan said CCTV would help finger the kind of “idiots� who put an injured kangaroo into a shopping trolley on the council-owned car park in Lyttleton Terrace and pushed it down the stairs “It always helps to have video surveillance where people gather,� he said. “It would be handy to help target problems that exist currently in the city.�

While Leading SenConst Allan said he had no suspects at this stage, numerous people had assisted police with their inquiries. “What we really need is an eye witness,� he said. “But we’re confident, we’re pretty optimistic, of battling through the information and getting a result soon.� Leading Sen-Const Allan also supported a City of Greater Bendigo initiative to install boom gates at the car park Council Planning and development director Prue Mansfield said council had been in consultation with Coles over

the installation of gates, blocking access to the upper deck of parking lots. “We’re still waiting on their design plans,� she said. “The ball is in their court at this stage. “We hope this will help curb some of the behaviour that has been going on at the car park.� Meanwhile $3510 has been raised (as of Thursday afternoon), as a reward for information on the attack, thanks to Wildlife Rescue emergency Service volunteer Tracey Skate. People can join the Justice for Josie Trust facebook page and donate to their bank account on BSB 633-000 A/C 145841474.

derelict shop before we rebuilt, something about ‘go back to Melbourne’.” In fact, Alison is a Borough girl, and when she and Darren discovered they had bought one of the first retail sites in Bendigo, they decided they would do it right. “If we hadn’t bought it, it would probably have become a bottle shop,” she said. What they didn’t anticipate was the mire of heritage regulations. Staff at the City of Greater Bendigo council helped them through, but it took determination.

“We went back umpteen times, and you come to realise the first thing they always say is ‘no’. “It opened our eyes.” New work in a heritage area is a minefield not only for builders but also planners because a building like 18 Sailors Gully Road, which was derelict, needed to be demolished but then planning guidelines demand building not in a heritage style but a contemporary building. With the assistance of council, the Bacons found a solution: Canterbury Quilts has the same

shape and size as J Baldock Boot Maker, but it is not a reconstruction. The result, a lightfilled, beautifully proportioned shopfront, with a quilt-making studio behind, is a credit to the owners, and a new asset for Eaglehawk. “I nearly didn’t put in the application,” Alison said, “but (councillor) Peter Cox was so enthusiastic, he nominated us himself. “We haven’t felt like trailblazers but we think it’s important that when you say heritage, this kind of building is im-

THE City of Greater Bendigo council has taken the next step in developing an integrated transport strategy. A research paper investigating how comparable cities have dealt with similar challenges to Bendigo’s, has been approved by the council and they will now put $150,000 towards an Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy. This should provide a long-term and sustainable vision for Bendigo’s transport network. North West Plains Ward councillor Bruce Phillips, also a former Vic Roads regional man-

as the research paper revealed it was imperative all relevant stakeholders were engaged for a holistic vision. Eaglehawk Ward councillor Peter Cox said he hoped this would involve a steering group involving numerous bodies such as the Department of Transport,

La Trobe University, Vic Roads, the Bendigo Take Action group and a resident from every corner of Bendigo. “We’ve got to bring the community with us,

when we want to bring about change,” he said. “We need a diversity of view. “If the same people are contributing the same ideas, you get the same ideas every time.” Some initiatives being used in strategies elsewhere include establishing community bus systems, building bicycle lanes and cycle freeways, creating pedestrianfriendly streets and giving priority to inner-city development.

Almost $12 million is now on offer to emergency service groups for the purchase of vital resources such as rescue equipment, trucks and facility upgrades. The State Government’s $11.95 million Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program is offering grants of up to $100,000 to ensure local volunteers are equipped to respond to emergencies and natural disasters. It’s critical our emergency services volunteers have the necessary equipment for the job, whether assisting to extract someone from a motor vehicle accident, fighting fires or sandbagging to protect community and individuals properties from floodwaters. The grants may be used to pay for upgrades to group facilities or for the equipment needed in emergencies, such as trucks, trailers and generators. The VESEP will also contribute $2 for every $1 of funding raised by local volunteer groups. The Deputy Premier and Minister for Emergency Services, Peter Ryan, says emergency service volunteers play a crucial role in protecting lives and property and the Victorian Coalition Government is pleased to provide record funding to boost the capability of local volunteers to respond to emergencies. I reckon we would all agree with that. Further information is available from www.justice.vic.gov.au, or email vesep@justice.vic.gov.au.

THE long, sometimes frustrating, journey to create their new shop in a heritage style in the middle of Eaglehawk has paid off for Alison and Darren Bacon. Canterbury Quilts, rebuilt from the ground up on the 1870s site of J Baldock Boot Maker, was honoured in the inaugural Greater Bendigo Heritage Awards for New Work in a Heritage Area. The cream and mossgreen building is a fine addition to Eaglehawk’s streetscape, endorsed by the National Trust. Without determination, a love of Eaglehawk, and a strong sense of the ridiculous, they might never have succeeded. “There was some quite nasty local opposition to the development,” Alison said. “People jumped to conclusions and there was even graffiti on the

L E TTE R S to the editor

email: letters@bendigoweekly.com.au

Making waves Bendigo Weekly with Cogho & Beck and Anthony Radford Cogho – Cogho and Beck joining Weekly editor Anthony Radford today, with Ben enjoying a well-earned break. Beck – I tell you what, he knows some stuff about stuff doesn’t he. Cogho – He knows some stuff about me that I hope he never tells anyone! Radders, plenty to talk about. Let’s start with the budget. What were your thoughts. Anthony – All projects that were funded are projects that certainly need to be done. It is interesting we usually see Bendigo dominating the region’s funding, this year we didn’t, apart from the Golden Square Primary School and a Multi Disciplinary Centre to support sexual abuse victims. Cogho – What about the kangaroo situation. We have been updating this all morning. I think the reward is now more than $3000 for information. Beck – The reward has been updated it’s $3310. That is not just from one or two people, that is from a lot of people from around the region, who have called up and offered to donate. That is for a reward for someone to come forward with information that will lead to an arrest. Cogho – Anthony, what is the overall situation here? Are we over these types of stories, or have we had enough with this behaviour. Anthony – I think we have had enough. Since January there has been three or four of these stories. We had kangaroos being run over at La Trobe, a rare bird shot and cats killed or threatened to be killed. All this is abhorrent. Beck – This is a bit left of centre, but is there any suspicion that a lot of these might be linked? Cogho – There will always be that suspicion, I think. Anthony – Unfortunately with mobile phones and videos, people find out about these things very quickly and maybe find out about these morons doing these sorts of things and think it is funny to do it again or add to it. Shows what peanuts they really are.

Compensation cannot hide the hurt STEVE GIBBONS says he is disappointed that Victoria Carpets has been forced to retrench staff. Well Mr Gibbons, I am disappointed that you and Labor have betrayed regional communities in Victoria by bringing in a carbon tax that is already hurting our towns in the area. Your toxic big tax is costing jobs and will drive up the price of electricity and transport. No amount of so-called compensation can hide the hurt you have chosen to inflict in your final months as an MP. I have heard reports in the media that jobs losses at Victoria Carpets are in part due to the carbon tax. Jobs lost, but not one job from your Labor-Green Government to replace them. Labor and the Greens have no genuine interest in the damage they are causing to country areas. Robert Treller, Maiden Gully

Volunteers make the difference VISION AUSTRALIA is proud to celebrate the valuable contribution of our many volunteers during National Volunteer Week in May. It is an important opportunity to reflect on the hours and hours of precious time that each and every volunteer gives freely to our organisation. Without their support we would not be able to provide the range and breadth of services that we offer so many Australians who are blind or have low vision. The National Volunteer Week theme this year is Every One Counts. I think the theme is particularly apt because every individual volunteer certainly does count. During the past 12 months,

we have welcomed another 664 volunteers into the Vision Australia family. We now have a total of 4600 people who volunteer to help others through our organisation. On behalf of Vision Australia, I would like to thank each and every person who has given their time to help us make a difference in the lives of people who are blind or have low vision. Our thanks go to you, not only during this month of May, but in every other month of the year as well. Gerard Menses Chief Executive Officer, Vision Australia

Stop the dummies I WRITE in support of your article Election Dummies, April 20, and agree that it is important there is absolute transparency and accountability in regard to the coming council elections. I also agree that local newspapers play an important role in providing informed opinion about candidates and their policies. I suggest that the time between nominating as a candidate and the start of voting in a postal election is a very short period.

If policies are going to be scrutinised then the debate should commence now rather than just over the short period of the election. Prospective candidates and all residents and businesses are now able to comment on the draft council plan which is on exhibition from May 3, the integrated transport and land use strategy, the residential review strategy, the council’s 2012/2013 Budget from the end of May and the City of Greater Bendigo’s council’s annual report before the election. The council election does not only serve to elect councillors but is an important time to review policies and the future direction of the municipality. I am still amazed at how many important issues come before council every week. There are many questions to be raised about spending priorities, population growth, business development, recreation facilities, planning applications, and heritage and vegetation protection. I encourage all to have input into these issues. Further information can be found on all of these issues at www.bendigo.vic. gov.au and for those who do not have access to a computer you can request a copy of a report through council’s reception.

Council’s agendas and minutes of meetings are also available and council meetings can be heard on Phoenix FM, 106.7, on each third Wednesday commencing at 6pm. Let the debate start now for the elections in October! Cr Peter Cox, Eaglehawk Ward

Fire service levy a tax on top of a tax AN insurance broker has informed me that the fire service levy on house insurance has risen to 45 per cent in the new State budget. This is charged on the sum of the premium and the stamp duty, which means that for the latter it is a tax on a tax. A $400 insurance will now attract a fire service fee of $180. Will this money be used for fire services like the CFA, or will it go into consolidated revenue to make up the shortfall in state income?

NEW PODIATRIST Active Podiatry

People pressure PEOPLE power had a big win this week, when the City of Greater Bendigo council voted not to give the go-ahead to a development proposed for Eaglehawk. Council planning staff did all the necessary evaluations, and came to the conclusion the redevelopment of the Victoria Hotel, to include 21 boarding-house style rooms, could be approved. Before it went up for vote on Wednesday, the planners commented on the high number of objections, and noted those objectors expressed concerns about “the impact of the type of people who might live here, rather than the nature of the development”. Early in the campaign against Ivar Hunt’s proposal for the hotel, public comments were made about how the boarding house would encourage “underprivileged” clientele, considered further proof Eaglehawk has more than its fair share of welfare clients. At a meeting held by councillor

Editorial Comment Peter Cox, the “not in my back yard” comments of some Borough residents were tempered by calls to keep emotion out of the arguments and concentrate on tackling the planning regulations. Quite quickly, however, it became clear that the development was going to fit within those regulations. The report that went to council before the vote also makes it clear that “community spirit and participation and friendliness of the people”, which are part of the Eaglehawk township strategy, are not regulated under the planning scheme. The campaign leaders are thrilled

by the outcome, proving that banding together to make a point can indeed change the minds of City of Greater Bendigo councillors. It was not clear, until the final moments before the vote, which way some of the councillors would go, but it seems the visible and vocal presence of a large group at the meeting carried the day. If the application goes to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, it would seem, from council’s own report, that the development has a good chance of approval, but Mr Hunt has said he may rethink his proposal. He has even suggested he may look at using the building, which is in one of the best spots in Eaglehawk, as a retail or hospitality site. The day after he watched peoplepower score a victory, he sounded down, but not out. Whether Eaglehawk has scored a goal, or an own goal, will not be clear until the final siren.

Transport for the public I’VE spent a bit more time than usual on Twitter this week, and have enjoyed the banter with fellow Tweeters equally happy to debate the issues of our times and how we could change if not the world, then maybe just Bendigo. One of the topics most discussed has been the need for our city to establish a public transport (PT in the world of Twitter) network that actually works for more residents than what it does now. Or, as the City of Greater Bendigo council puts it, to “develop a clear, long-term, effective and sustainable vision for Bendigo’s transport network”. Getting more of Bendigo to embrace public transport is not just about sustainability. It’s also about protecting and preserving our city centre, which will always be inadequate when it comes to accommodating vehicular traffic, especially as our population continues to grow. Travelling across our city from east to west or north to south is a challenge at the best of times, with established bottlenecks like McIvor Road, the

Kennington roundabout, View Street, or the CBD itself. Perhaps the greatest opportunity to reduce the amount of traffic entering the CBD each day rests with looking at those people who drive into town, park their car, go to work, then drive home again at the end of the day. There must be a considerable number of these people,

There are already options available for many workers to do more of their daily job from home, and the NBN brings with it the promise of even more of us being able to do more online from home, some time on the future. The City of Greater Bendigo is to be applauded for, in its words, “taking a holistic approach to transport and

There must be a number of these people who do not need their cars especially those working in offices and in retail, who do not need their car from 9am to 5pm, and getting more of these commuters out of their cars and into or on to alternatives is essential to any viable transport plan. Perhaps we need to look at a “park and ride” option whereby these exact commuters are encouraged to park away from the centre of the city and catch a bus, or a train, to the doorstep, thereby helping to reduce the strangulation of the CBD we might otherwise face.

land use rather than seeing improved road infrastructure for private cars and trucks as the only solution.” But the responsibility is a shared one, and embedded in that responsibility is the need for a cultural shift in the way public transport is both planned and delivered in this city. Equally, it requires a change in the community’s perceptions of and willingness to embrace PT as not just an alternative, but a solution.

WHEN Jeffrey Eugenides wrote The Virgin Suicides in 1993, it shocked many people. It wasn’t just that the topic was so out-there (about the death of five sisters). It was also the way he chose to write it, using the first-person plural (“we�) as the narrating voice. When he followed that up with Middlesex, about a hermaphrodite, his reputation as a most audacious writer was established. This time round, for his third novel, the shock and wonder has been replaced by a certain amount of disappointment. Could this be a Eugenides novel, this relatively simple and sortof straightforward story about three young people at an American college in the 1980s? The Marriage Plot is simple, on the surface, but if you love a book that does many things at once, you’ll be intrigued by this one. The idea is that love and marriage are still hugely important in our lives, and it’s why we still read so many classic novels, like the alltime gem, Pride and Prejudice. But the world has changed so much since

Austen’s time, and so has the novel, so Eugenides posed for himself the question, what would a novel look like, if it took the same driver as its plot focus? He wanted character to be all-important, so we get to know a great deal about Madeleine and her two suitors, Leonard and Mitchell (who has many similarities to the author himself). Do they come alive off the page? That is perhaps the ultimate test of a successful novel, and while I wasn’t sure they were living and breathing as I read The Marriage Plot, I had a teary moment right at the end, which only ever happens when I start to believe in the characters. Eugenides is in Australia this month, at various writers festivals, and at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne on May 15 (book through the Wheeler Centre). – Rosemary Sorensen 78 3$ 51. &. (< $* (

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL

Hermitude

BEN CAMERON HERMITUDE’S Angus Stuart (right) doesn’t just craft future beats, he hears voices. Whether he’s in the studio, or side of the dance floor (more on that later), they’re always there. “Sometimes it’s really good, (a voice) saying, ‘I wonder what people will think of this’,” Stuart says of the doubts that arise while building a song. “But then sometimes it’s good to bar that voice and just go with the flow. “Even if you think you’re going down a path that might not be what some people think is cool, that path can lead to other things that can be even cooler.” It was the case with Hermitude’s breakthrough single, Speak of the Devil. “It’s probably our biggest song in terms of being a bit more poppy,” Stuart says. “When we first writing it we thought it might be too pop for our record.” So what eventually proved to be a crossover hit, almost wasn’t included on their latest record, their fourth, Hyperparadise. “We wrote a lot of the song without the vocals, and then put it away for a while,” Stuart says. “We though it might suit another artist or something. “But then after a little while... we needed a single and we thought of Speak of the Devil. “It was the perfect fit... and it didn’t sound too cheesy or poppy outside

the other songs, it fit on the record quite well.” While Stuart says 90 per cent of Hermitude’s output is purely (hip hop, dance influenced) instrumental, Speak of the Devil was a chance to write about his club conscience. “Not often, but every now and then you have that time at a club where you feel a little reserved,” he says. “And you have all these voices in your head, and sometimes you have to

throw those voices out, you say ‘stuff it, I’m getting out there’.” Hermitude used friend, Sydney artist Chaos Emerald for the vocals/ rallying cry. “We didn’t want a trained vocalist,” Stuart says. “We wanted somebody who was a bit more raw. “So we thought we’d give her a go and she totally nailed it, in a slightly punky way.” Another little voice told Stuart that a call from Groovin the Moo

was coming. “We were hoping that would happen, we had it in the back of our minds that we’d have a good chance of getting on that festival,” he says. “We really wanted to do some regional spots and play to a regional crew.” Stuart, and long time partner in crime Luke Dubber, spent all of 2011 writing Hyperparadise. “It was almost like a day job for us, we were coming into the studio five

days a week to just write,” he says. Both grew up and met in the Blue Mountains. “I’ve known Luke for about 20 years now,” Stuart says. “At some point when I was about 18... we started mucking around with samplers and electronic synths, that was pretty much the birth of Hermitude.” Hermitude play Groovin the Moo on May 5.

STAND-up comedy is meant to be one of the toughest gig in town, but award-winning funnyman Xavier Michelides doesn’t buy into the idea. “Firefighters have hard jobs, they walk into buildings that are on fire,” the Melbourne comic says, deadpan. “Scientists, they have hard jobs. So it puts it in perspective.” That’s not to say crackin’ wise ain’t scary. “It’s kind of like you get up there and you’re saying ‘I’m the funniest person in this room right now, so you all listen’,” Michelides laughs. “And people can rightfully judge that... but it’s not that hard... I tell jokes. “You do get nervous (though), it’s just you. You don’t have any backup and if your jokes don’t work, you’ve got nobody to blame.

“It’s my fault completely if it doesn’t work.” Originally from Perth, Michelides first had a stab at stand up on Triple J’s Raw Comedy Competition, back in 2001. And after moving to Melbourne three years ago, he’s earned some bigname gigs, supporting the likes of Steven Wright and Weird Al Yankovic, and writing for Good News Week, ROVE and ABC3. But there’s been some horror gigs along the way too. Listening to Michelides describe a comedian’s working environment, comedy seems a bit like cooking, and without the proper ingredients (like the right crowd, lighting, vibe, not to mention jokes) the souffle doesn’t rise. “I’ve done gigs where you’re just out of your depth, you don’t know the audience and you don’t

relate to them,” Michelides says. “Sometimes you do a corporate gig, and you’re surrounded by these big suits, and you’ve got nothing in common with them. “And you walk away going ‘It’s nobody’s fault, there was nowhere in the venn diagram we crossed’. “The worst is when the audience is good and for some reason it just doesn’t work.” It’s a situation that obviously breeds insecurity; a characteristic common amongst comedians, Michelides says. “You want a whole bunch of strangers to like you, so you must be a bit insecure,” he laughs. “There are a lot of gigs (in Australia), but it’s not like New York or London where you could live off

Music crosses the age divide Ben comes out fighting to prove you’re never too old to rock and roll

“AREN’T you a little old for all that?� We’ve all heard it at some point. From a clothing store attendant who thinks tact is some kind of domestic adhesive, or a sneering, joyless, party pooper whose idea of fun is looking down their snooty nose on the fact you still find joy in watching The Goodies. But how do you really know when it’s time to put the Star Wars jumbo sized puzzle in the cupboard and leave it there? Is there a mathematical formula which determines at a certain age, certain activities are no longer socially acceptable to enjoy? When is roller skating no longer an option? At what age is getting a sleeve no longer hip, but tragic? This equation doesn’t apply to ailing senior citizens and their bucket lists of course, but are the “time to let it go� warning signs highly visible? Or does it take a glance from a much younger person at a music festival saying “I didn’t realise Whitesnake was on the bill�, or a quip like “this is a musical festival not

It’s a point to remember you young bucks, that at no point do you stop loving music in a public space

BEN CAMERON ON LIFE

the Dahlia Festival, old man�, to get the point you’ve outgrown something, whether you like it or not? I mention music festivals because the whole “age of enjoyment� rule is very much on display at some festivals tailored to the younger demographic. And as somebody who’s apparently the “wrong� side of 30, I’m one of those who’s derided for even driving in the same postcode as where a festival is being held. But with Bendigo’s own Big Day Out, Groovin’ the Moo, on tomorrow, it’s a point to remember you young bucks, that at no point do you stop loving music in a public space. So here’s a festival checklist (not a “survival guide� as it’s so often lamely called; I mean you’re not in danger of stepping on a land mine, or being picked off by a sniper are you?) for those about to break their GTM cherry at the Bendigo Showgrounds, from a battle-weary veteran.

1. Just be yourself. Music festivals do strange things to people. Girls who usually wear Prada like it’s going out of fashion, suddenly feel the need to out-do rock chick Kate Moss’ rock chic, while guys feel the pressure to spout opinions about the latest buzz band to anybody who’ll listen, even though they read it in NME the night before. 2. It’s ok to look at the timetable and not recognise half the bands. That’s the point of going sometimes. 3. Never say “I really like

that last band, but they were a tad too loud�. If that’s your attitude, maybe you, not a rock senior citizen, needs to re-evaluate if a music festival is really for you. 4. Avoid all mention of Australia’s Got Talent, The Voice, X Factor, Australian Idol or Young Talent Time. As beautifully as they complement each other, GTM is strictly an “indie show� and any mention of “contestants� is strictly off limits – unless of course you’re mentioning what the cool kids now call

“exceptions�, like Owl Eyes or Lisa Mitchell.

That’s right, that’s you.

5. Don’t complain about the drink prices. In five years time you’ll reminisce about the good old days when you paid $11 for a beer.

7. A music event is for people of all ages. Believe it or not but retirees are regularly seen at rock concerts, just as pre-teens attend Pink Floyd gigs.

6. Don’t feel envious of the people in the “VIP� section. Believe me, most of them paid for the privilege, or got freebies through work (high five), and they’re nowhere near as important as the average punter whose hard earned cash spent on tickets keeps bands in a job.

So the notion you’re suddenly too old for something is a fallacy, especially with music. Advice is cheap, and you can’t win everybody’s approval in life. Better to be judged too old for rock ‘n’ roll, than deemed too young for Antiques Roadshow.

Making do PREVIOUSLY, we discovered the self-sufficiency of many families who grew as much of their own food as possible during the Great Depression. Self-sufficiency was not only restricted to the vegetable plot and fruit growing; most households also had chooks. Poultry-keeping was made a little easier if you had a good productive garden as fallen fruit would go to the chooks as did various scraps. A bit of bran had to be purchased as did the shell grit that helped to strengthen the egg shells. The eggs were for the family to eat and many recipes from the kitchen required the use of eggs. As there were times the hens did not lay well you had to preserve the eggs when they were in excess. Preserving eggs was done by coating them with a solution of water glass, or sodium silicate as it is correctly called. Sometimes this process of egg preservation did not work and you could finish up with some rotten eggs instead. When the chooks became too old they were fattened up and would finish up contributing to the menu by being cooked and eaten or sent to be sold and so give

JAMES LERK someone else a meal or two and the seller a little cash. The Mainstone’s chook house was close to the neighbour’s fence with their yard running along there. Next door lived the Flood family. They had a German Shepherd or Alsatian as they were called at that time. Their dog sometimes jumped against the fence which loosened the pal-

ings. Needless to say the fattened chooks went in through the gap and the dog devoured them. Mrs Mainstone was most upset. The money she had anticipated in receiving for the chooks was now gone so it was to be a very meagre Christmas indeed. If there was sufficient money to purchase a leg of lamb this would help to feed the family for a number of days, first the roast then as cold meat and the leftovers would be used to make Shepherd’s Pie. There were rabbits in almost plague propor-

either had to set traps or have ferrets to chase them out of their burrows. Stewed rabbit, baked rabbit and rabbit casserole were regular features on many families’ menus. Shirley’s mother was good at sewing and she possessed a treadle sewing machine. With it she was able to make beautiful smocked dresses. Through their sale she was able to earn a little to help the family to eat for another few days. Shirley and her older sister lived largely in hand-me-downs, or alter-

What’sthis?

natively clothes that had been passed on to the family by neighbours or friends who had grown out of them. As all socks were knitted from wool they did get holes worn in them, particularly on the heels. The holes were darned using a thick darning needle and woolen thread, a mushroomshaped piece of wood was inserted in the sock to where the hole was located. Darning thread would be woven in one direction and then at right angles, just like weaving. In 1932 Shirley’s father was unable to get any work as a carpenter, so he applied for and received Assistance to Prospectors. The assistance was in the form of a very small allowance, or “Susso� (Sustenance Allowance).

The allowance was insufficient to feed one’s family even with the most basic food, so you had to be able to supplement this using your own initiative in whatever way you could. He, like so many others, prospected for alluvial gold, using the tin dish and his own brawn, shovel and pick. He found no nuggets but did get some fine gold of no significant value. Sometimes during school holidays Shirley would accompany her father in his prospecting. Shirley remembers that her dad always repaired their shoes. He had a cast-iron shoe last that had three different sizes, all the families’ shoes were repaired by him. Little metal tips were nailed to the soles and heels to make them last longer.

The Sunrise concept is quite simple. Firies having a ball REEL THEM IN: Krystal Widdows and Eric Smith prepare for the ball. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN CFA Eaglehawk Fire Brigade is inviting all local CFA members to come and strut their stuff at the Fireman’s Ball. Eaglehawk CFA secretary Krystal Widdows said the May 12 event would revive an old tradition. “They had them many years ago and they were big events on the calendar,” she said. “We are planning a really good fun night where firies can let their hair down.

“Usually when we meet we’re doing business. You are on strike team or you are on the fire ground. “This will be chance for us to get together in a relaxed way and be sociable.” The $45 tickets for the event at the Bendigo RSL include a two-course meal while band Regular Joes will play 80s, 90s and current music. Eaglehawk Fire Brigade is especially keen to see other members of Fortuna Group

brigades on the dance floor. “We’ve already sent out invitations to those brigades but we still have more than 100 tickets ready and waiting,” Ms Widdows said. “We’re asking members to wear their dress uniform and formal for everyone else. Dress up and come and join us. Perhaps this might be the first ball of many if we get the interest.” And no lights and sirens in sight. For tickets call 0438 073 269.

Residents can purchase and live in their own home where personal choice, dignity, privacy and individuality are enjoyed, valued and encouraged.

Beischer Park to host the Classic

B

EISCHER Park, Strathdale will again turn of pink on Sunday, May 13 when participants in the Bendigo Mother’s Day Classic line up for the run and walk to raise funds for breast cancer research. The event has become an integral part of Mother’s Day morning for thousands of Australians who enjoy getting up early to walk or run and raise money for breast cancer research. It is a morning of activities and entertainment for families, schools, corporate teams, runners and anyone who enjoys sharing activity on Mother’s Day morning. The event

also brings together people who are living with breast cancer or know someone who has been affected by, or lost someone to breast cancer. It is a time to remember, pay tribute and celebrate their lives and their strength. In 2011, a record 120,000 people across Australia ran or walked in a Mother’s Day Classic. More than $3m was raised for National Breast Cancer Foundation research programs – the highest amount of funds in the event’s 14 year history. People take part in the event

We asked some of the Bendigo event’s participants what motivates them to get up early, don their pink gear and head to the track on Mother’s Day. Lanie Gardner, volunteer and walker “I have been a volunteer since I arrived in Bendigo, I registered with the Volunteer Resource Centre to help out and gain experience. This year I will be doing the face painting. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do so volunteering my services was a good excuse to learn. I have been practising on my daughter Lana for months. She loves it and so do all her friends. I’ll have about 20 designs in my menu.�

for various reasons, many have battled and beaten the common enemy, breast cancer, and like to do something in return. Some just like to keep fit and for many, it has become a Mother’s Day tradition for their family.

Marlene Kelly, volunteer “I enjoy helping others and take a lot of pleasure seeing others have fun. In return I get satisfaction knowing I have helped the cause. I love being involved in various community activities, through my work at Fernwood I help run lots of social and information sessions and get behind their community contribution. I usually help with registrations at the Classic and enjoy the buzz of being busy and meeting new people.�

Online registrations close on Wednesday, May 9 at noon, but you can still register on the day. The eight kilometre run registrations open at 7.30am with start time at 8am. Four kilometre event registrations will open at 8.15am for a 9am start.

Vicky Christie, volunteer and walker “My sister and I are both survivors of breast cancer so I like to help, it’s a nice thing to do. I feel proud to walk shoulder to shoulder with others who have been touched by breast cancer and help raise valuable funds needed for research.�

He is sociable and happily plays with the other young cats. Ideal for school age children upwards. The RSPCA would like to take this opportunity, given the recent animal cruelty cases, to remind everyone that it is the responsibility of us all, to stand up against cruelty where we find it and by reporting what we see, to help bring perpetrators’ to justice.

CYCLING

Miners hunt down the Boars THE Bendigo Fighting Miners rugby union team started their season in fine style, smashing the Puckapunyal Boars 32-10 at Epsom. Bendigo looked to have the game locked up early in the second half, leading 22-5 and coming hard, until a 90-metre intercept try by Puckapunyal sparked a resurgence. WHEEL MATES: A regular meeting at the lake.

Despite Bendigo being a man down after winger Chris Payne was sin-binned for a tip tackle, two late tries, through Afualo and captain Jesse Tuitupou, expanded the lead once more. Bendigo fielded a team featuring 12 new players. The best for Bendigo were Afualo, Manderson and loose forwards Paula Maka, Ale Liliva

and Alex Milsom. This Saturday, the Miners travel to the Bandianna Army Base at Wodonga to take on the Border Army Dogs. Meanwhile the Under 18 Bendigo and Melbourne combined side lost 50-10 to Southern Districts, while Boroondara smashed the Bendigo and Footscray combined Under 16 team, 50-17.

JOB AHEAD: Brent Yates and Josh Di Camillo.

The mother of all rides NO painter’s brush, nor poet’s pen, in justice to her fame, has ever reached half high enough, to write a mother’s name. – Author Unknown. Mother’s Day – a special day to remember we all have much to be thankful for to our mothers and their tireless work and acts of selflessness. I was privileged to spend time with a group of mothers who formed a bond with each other around the time their children started attending school. Steve Covey coined the phrase “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.� Sandra, Shirley, Leanne, Pam, Wendy, Sue and Leanne have kept their motherly instinct and the joy of sharing this journey together as one of the “main things�. Recently they found cycling together has become another pleasurable way to enjoy each other’s company and stories of the progress of family relationships. Their time blossomed when they, as a group of young mums, decided to play married women’s netball (some are still playing in a social women’s competition) and the bond has never weakened since. A few years ago as Mother’s Day presents, bikes were given to a couple of mums, some even thoughtful enough to be

EDDIE BARKLA in the mum’s favourite colour purple. There is no real pretence about their riding. There’s no Lycra and one mum said when we get to size 10 then maybe we will think about it; bringing lots of group laughter. Speed is not an agenda, it is easy as you go

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing and there have been a few falls, this also accompanied with much laughter as some of these precious moments were brought to mind in great detail, but no broken bones or dented egos. Their budget is along the lines of “as long as we get to the lake and get a coffee or hot chocolate off Nick their favourite ultimate coffee provider.� SMS messages start on a Saturday night ready for the Sunday morning gathering, making sure that each one will be ready to be on the bike as the

group grows as they make their way along the linear path for the ritual loop of Rosalind Park through the Chinese Gardens and back to the Lake and their reserved park bench for some more in-depth reflections if required. “A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.� – Washington Irving. There is much chatter about many things, mostly encouraging and providing the listening ear of wisdom of a mother to another mother and friend, with occasions of shared concerns filtered with tears of grief and joy. “If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been.� – Robert Brault. There is no doubt that regular exercise has kept them healthy and being accountable to each other has kept the bond. Their hope is that their experience will fuel others to come to a similar path of finding friendship’s rewards. Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon, God willing.

Attacking the bat By BEN CAMERON

WHILE he’s a cool-headed opening quick, new Strathfieldsaye Cricket Club coach Josh Di Camillo will be focusing on improving the A Grade’s batting woes. While the Jets finished fifth last season in the top grade, they only had one batsman (Ben Gunn) in the top 20 for runs aggregate. “I look at the figures from last season and our batting let us down,� Di Camillo, who was appointed late last week, said. “I will be getting to the bottom of why it let us down and building from there.� Di Camillo strongly believes his club has the cattle to win an A Grade premiership, helped by a strong junior pro-

gram down at Tannery Lane. “The players we have, not only in the current A Grade side but in the youth up and coming have the potential to take the club to premiership success in the next few seasons,� he said. “You only need to look at the depth of our list, with both our U15s winning the premiership last season, putting pressure on the current group, to see what a great group I have to work with.� Di Camillo said he will focus on paying attention to the little things. “It’s the small things that add up,� he said. “We already have a lot of great players, so it is now my job to educate them on how to get the most out of themselves. “Once they all improve

each aspect of their game just a little, it all starts to add up. “Cricket is a complex game, that’s why we love it. It’s now my job to break down every aspect of each player’s game to its lowest level and improve, educate and rebuild it back up. “Small improvements at each level add up to huge improvements on match day.� Di Camillo, who began his playing career at age nine at Gisborne and eventually became president of the club, joined the Jets during the 201011 season. Jets president Brent Yates said Di Camillo brings a fresh new outlook. “We are very excited with the outcome, Josh provides a great deal of experience with his sporting background,� he said.

Cash spur for more matches By BEN CAMERON

BENDIGO Gold Football Club will continue to push for more Friday night and Sunday afternoon matches at home next season in an attempt to bolster the club’s bottom line. On a hugely successful night for the club in financial terms, Gold general manager Graham Pratt estimated up to 2000 people came through the gates for last Friday night’s Northern Knights clash, where almost a stampede was created when a majority of people began to arrive around 6.15pm. “We lost track of how many people attended as we had so many coming through the gate at once,” Pratt said. “I’d estimate though that we got about four times the usual amount of

people who attend. “Finding a Friday night long-term arrangement would be great.” With the Gold vying with BFNL matches

a full-time professional league, many players have jobs that they would need to contend with if Friday night games are a regular occurrence.

I’d estimate though that we got about four times the usual amount of people who attend for attendance, Pratt said the club would do all it could to maximise revenue through the gate. AFL Victoria’s Anthony Stanguts said the Gold could ask for as many Friday night matches it liked, but could not guarantee their requests. “A club could request as many night games as they want,” he said. “But remembering with Friday nights clubs need to travel from Melbourne, and not being

“Obvious things we need to look at are conflicts with other tenants at certain venues, requests by other clubs on certain weekends, other clubs agreeing to matches at different figuring times.” The Gold requested Friday night games for this year, particularly early in the season and late in the season to avoid the colder weather. “We need to get agreement from the other clubs for each game and this year

HIGH EARNER: The Friday night game was a winner. only Port Melbourne, Geelong and Box Hill agreed,” Pratt said. “The rule of thumb has been that the VFL game should take precedence over the BFNL in terms of being the first use of the ground. “This is so there is no risk of three BFNL games on the Saturday being played in inclement weath-

er and the ground not being suitable on the Sunday for play. “Given the state of the new QEO we will look at Sundays in 2013 as well as more Fridays.” The next Friday night match is against Box Hill in the final round while the Bendigo Gold play Sandringham this Sunday at Trevor Barker Field.

Back after break TACKLED: But the result remains.

Match result will stand THE result of the controversial Round Two match between Bendigo Thunder and North Ballarat will stand following a Victorian Women’s Football League investigation. The game ended three minutes early with Bendigo 23 points clear after North Ballarat’s coach called the game off due to concerns for his players’ safety. However, the league deemed the April 22 clash was a “hard physical contest of senior football” with no reports from the umpire in charge. The league acknowledged North Ballarat’s desire for two central umpires for all matches, but said its umpiring stocks were low. “The VWFL has discussed the matter at length with the North Ballarat coach John Marshall who expressed concerns under his duty of care as a coach,” a league spokesperson said. “John also expressed concerns at having one umpire for the game. “The VWFL has communicated options with John should he have similar concerns.” Anyone interested in umpiring should contact VWFL umpire co-ordinator Adrian Fisher on 0433 919 262.

A BROKEN leg might just prove to be the best thing to happen to Bendigo Pioneer Jake Stringer’s football career. In his first game back in the blue and gold after a European tour with the AIS-AFL Academy, Stringer drilled nine goals in the Pioneers 100 point smashing of Northern Knights at Preston. “It made me appreciate it (footy) a lot more, and made me want it a lot more,” Stringer said of 2011’s season-ending injury during the Pioneers’ opening round loss to North Ballarat, which broke both bones in his left leg. “As much as it was a horrific, bad thing, in the long run it’s going to be one of those things I’ll look back at and go ‘I probably wouldn’t be where I am (today)’. “I don’t think I’d be where I am now without my leg (injury), it made me so much better. “I’m a lot more relaxed, having a year out, things don’t worry me as much, getting out and playing. “In the past I’d get a bit

for the next few weeks.” Stringer said former Pioneers coach Mark Ellis had been integral to his recovery and development. “Mark Ellis has been huge in getting me to where I’ve got to and he’s still got a huge hand in what I do now,” he said. “He was outstanding in growing my knowledge in the game and become a better person and footballer.” The Bendigo Pioneers take on the Calder Cannons at Moama tomorrow.

WAVING GOODBYE: Deanna Smith LEFT: Who is next.

Losing the Spirit

By BEN CAMERON and ANTHONY RADFORD

THE Bendigo Spirit’s playing roster is in crisis after rumblings a third star player is certain to leave the club. Two of the Spirit’s best players have already jumped ship, while club legend Kristi Harrower is still unsure if she will return for the coming season.

The Bendigo Weeekly revealed at www.bendigoweekly. com.au late last week that Deanna Smith was the latest player to leave the club, joining the West Coast Waves, after Tess Madgen went to the Bulleen Boomers, as the Spirit acknowledged it is struggling to compete with other clubs in the recruiting stakes. “It’s nothing against the Bendigo Spirit at all,� Smith

said, who had two stints in Perth in 2005-06 and 08-09. “I played my best basketball in Perth and I want to return.� Smith’s signing will add to the current debate surrounding the need for a salary cap for the league, although both players have said they did not leave the Spirit for money. Spirit chairman Jeremi Moule said it will be tough

for the club to compete financially. “As much as the club’s financial position has improved significantly and we’re in good shape moving into next season, we don’t have a budget to be able to compete on dollar terms with some of the larger and more established clubs,� he said. “It’s disappointing to have lost Deanna. The Spirit gave

her a good opportunity to reestablish herself in the league after a season out with a serious shoulder injury. “But she’s now taken the opportunity to return to Perth where she played perhaps some of her best basketball a few years ago. “The club has been working over the past few weeks to secure other quality players to fill the vacant positions.

“Recruiting each year is always slow and difficult, but this year seems to be even more challenging.� Meanwhile, Spirit legend Harrower told the Weekly she won’t be turning her back on the club. Harrower, who is starting to ramp up her training ahead of the Olympics, said she will either play for the Spirit next season or retire.
