FEDERAL Labor candidate for Bendigo Lisa Chesters has broken ranks with the government on what is expected to be one of the biggest issues in the September federal election. Speaking exclusively to the Bendigo Weekly, Ms Chesters said she disagreed with the Federal Government’s policy of processing asylum seekers off-shore. “What I support is that if people come to Australia, they should be processed on-shore,” she said. “That is what I believe as an individual, and if I was elected then I would be going to the Labor caucus and arguing for that position. “For the record, I am with (human rights lawyer) Julian Burnside on this one. “I actually believe that if people get to this country we should support them in any way we can.” Ms Chesters’ stance is expected to play well in the Bendigo electorate. Refugee policy is not the hot-button issue in Bendigo it is federally, with a large refugee-sympathetic population in the city. “In some of our community, they

are very supportive of asylum seekers,” Ms Chesters said. “When it comes to the broader community, it is a bit of a distraction to what people actually want to talk about, and that is how to build a stronger, bigger Bendigo.” Ms Chesters’ comments were made during a video interview, available online at www.bendigoweekly.com.au. Liberal Party candidate Greg Bickley was also interviewed. Ms Chesters also took aim at Liberal Party advertising that focused on Mr Bickley as a “real” local. Before recently moving to Flora Hill, Ms Chesters lived in Kyneton. She said a lot of Bendigonians were not born in the city, and an increasing number were moving from other regional and metropolitan centres. “If you can’t run for parliament because you are not fourth generation Bendigo, what happens next, you can’t vote?,” she said. “It’s wedge politics that I think is quite nasty, in saying there is (an) us and them.

“What I am really keen to do is do what Bendigo does really well and foster that ‘we’re-in-this-together’ (attitude). “It doesn’t matter whether you have just moved here [or] if you have been here for generations. We all love Bendigo and we are in this together.” Mr Bickley said the immigration issue was a federal one. “People know the policies of the Howard Government worked,” he said. “They stopped the boats. I think that’s what people want to see. “We must have control of our borders.” Both candidates spoke to the Weekly on a wide range of issues, including carbon tax, health funding and the cost of living. In response to the fact that Victoria’s emissions from energy generation have fallen by almost nine per cent since the carbon tax was introduced, Mr Bickley said it was because electricity was too expensive. “The fact is people are now scared to turn on their heaters or their air conditioners,” he said. “I have had pensioners calling me saying they are going to be chopping wood this winter, to stay warm.” ON SCREEN: Labor candidate Lisa Chesters and Liberal candidate Greg Bickley have their say on the main issues at www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Union head says Bendigo mental health services were struggling before reduction

Cuts add to the crisis By ROSEMARY SORENSEN STATISTICS show Bendigo’s mental health service was struggling even before last week’s announcement of budget cuts. “Bendigo has been historically under-resourced, with the lowest pre-admission clinician contact of all regional services,” Health and Community Services Union state secretary Lloyd Williams said. “This is not the first time Bendigo Health have tried to make these cuts. “They are also the worst performer in getting mental health patients into a bed.” Mr Williams said figures show

30 per cent of mental health patients presenting to the Emergency Department had to wait more than eight hours for a bed, “the worst figures out of the eight regional health services”. He said the most recent figures, from the July to September quarter last year, show that only 46 per cent of mental health patients in Bendigo had pre-admission contact with a clinician. The target for pre-admission contact is 60 per cent, and Mr Williams said most services have a better than 70 per cent rate. Bendigo Health’s response to the Federal Government health budget cut announced last week

included a $100,000 cut to mental health, with a reduction of regional after-hours services. “These cuts will increase waiting times in our Emergency De-

to cut it before, I’d be concerned they would seek to stay under the radar and not re-install it once the funding issues are resolved.” A spokesperson for Minister for Mental Health Mary Wooldridge said Bendigo Health’s “on-call psychiatry” cut is a “direct result” of the Federal Government’s funding cuts. “We encourage Lloyd Williams to take his advocacy to the Labor government in Canberra,” he said.

City delegation will forge Timor ties By ANTHONY RADFORD

Day at the races set to be a winner ONE of the biggest race days on the Bendigo calendar will be held tomorrow and, as usual, it will be a popular family affair. The Marong Cup will be held at

the Bendigo Jockey Club, with gates opening at 11am. The Marong Cup is not just about the horses, with a spectacular family day also the highlight.

There will be a large array of entertainment for the whole family, as well as a divine selection of food available. This year’s sponsor is Bendigo Ford.

GREATER Bendigo mayor Lisa Ruffell will lead a delegation to east Timor next month, which will include high-level talks with the government. With the backing of council, Cr Ruffell and members of the Bendigo Maubisse Friendship Community Committee will visit the area from March 13 to 23. The delegation will work to pave the way for further infrastructure works in the area. Committee chairman Barry Secombe said there were three main reasons for the visit. “The most important is to continue the work we have been doing in establishing a Women’s House in Maubisse,” he said. “It has been set up and is operating to support the women of Maubisse so they can come together and support each other and develop their skills that may lead to employment. “There is a whole range of programs we are running in conjunction with the local community. “It has started, but there is a lot of work to be done”. The delegation will meet with the country’s Administration Minister. “We want to establish a more effective level of commu-

There is a whole range of programs we are running “We are hoping we can get a very good outcome.” The group will also look at places to build a vocational centre for children aged between 15 and 19. “This is about skilling up young kids in a range of programs,” Mr Secombe said. “We have also identified three schools that are in need of support. “We want to do a reconnaissance on those schools to identify the materials and work that is required.”

scots make city their new home

ROSALIND Park will be transformed into a sea of tartan tomorrow (Saturday) when Bendigo stages its inaugural Scots Day Out. Organisers are expecting thousands of people for the city’s new free community event that kicks off with a parade of bands, dancers and clans down View St at 10.30am ahead of six hours of entertainment in the park. More than a dozen Scottish clans and organisations will have tents and displays, including peak body for the state’s Scots, the Victorian Scottish Union, along with the Robert Burns Club of Melbourne and the Victorian Gaelic Society which promotes Scotland’s traditional language. Leading pipe bands from across Victoria will join Bendigo’s Golden City Pipe Band in competition while dancers will contest the inaugural Central Victorian Highland Dancing Classic. Ceilidh Corner will replicate the traditional Sunday night community celebrations in Scottish pubs featuring local groups the Emu Creek Bush Band, Sing Australia Choir, St Andrew’s Scottish Country Dance Group and the city’s other two pipe bands Bendigo Highland and Clan Macleod. Among the Scottish stalls will be the renowned Pacdon Park from Moama offering samplings of Scotland’s thriftiest and most intriguing dish,

the haggis. Bendigo secured the date on Victoria’s Scottish community calendar after it was announced four months ago that a longrunning event in Melbourne had folded. The initiative by the Golden City Pipe Band has received strong support from the Greater Bendigo council and sponsorship from Bendigo Community Telco. Scots Day Out chieftain Keith Sutherland said Bendigo was ready for the Scottish invasion. “Bendigo has worked hard in such a short time to stage this exciting new community event,� he said.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, February 8, 2013

“We will be showcasing many local performers and welcoming hundreds to our city. It’s going to be a great day.� Scots Day Out director Chris Earl said there was tremendous excitement for the event. “It’s a new event for Bendigo and Rosalind Park provides a new style format for Scottish celebrations in Victoria,� he said. “Our arcades of stalls and clan tents will allow locals and visitors to wander around Rosalind Park enjoying the music, the dancing and the atmosphere. “We’re looking forward to a fantastic day of fun and celebrations in Rosalind Park on Saturday.�

Vote row caused by scan failure By ANTHONY RADFORD

A STAFF member failing to scan received ballots has been given as the reason almost 1000 locals were told they didn’t vote in last year’s Greater Bendigo council election. For the past two weeks, the Bendigo Weekly has been inundated with calls from voters who lodged their ballots, but received letters from the Victorian Electoral Commission telling them they hadn’t. Last week, the VEC told the Weekly the votes weren’t received, and therefore weren’t counted, causing outrage. “The only answer is we haven’t received it, for whatever reason,” a spokesperson said last week. However, late Wednesday,

and after an investigation, the VEC issued a statement changing its view. “As a result of direct voter feedback over the past week, the Victorian Electoral Commission has identified some 950 Greater Bendigo voters who have received an ‘apparent failure to vote’ notice in error,” the statement read. Acting Electoral Commissioner Liz Williams said the votes were included in the count. “These returned envelopes were received, but the envelope barcode was not correctly scanned as having been returned,” she said. Once affected voters made contact, Ms Williams said the origin of the error was able to be identified.

GREATER Bendigo mayor Lisa Ruffell said council is unlikely to change its decision to close the Golden Square pool. On November 14, council voted unanimously to close the Golden Square and Long Gully pools, as part of its long-term pool strategy. The strategy culminates in the construction of a new $28 million indoor pool at Kangaroo Flat. Committees of local residents formed since the announcement of the pools’ closure have submitted petitions to council and run campaigns protesting the closure, prompting council to reopen the issue to a new vote. If council votes to keep the pool open, it would have to commit at least $285,000 immediately, and possibly up to $4 million in the future. “It will come down to the priorities of council,” Cr Ruffell said. “Pools only have a life span of 50 years. I don’t want it closed down, but you have to weigh it all up.” Cr Ruffell said council was listening to the community. When asked if she thought ratepayers wanted to foot such a large bill to keep the pool open, she said “about 70 of them do”. “That is what it all boils down to,” she said. “The current Kangaroo Flat pool is magnificent. On a recent hot day we went there to have a look and there were only two people in it. “There is a perfectly good pool at Kangaroo Flat that is only a couple of blocks away. “If that is not getting used, why would we spend more money on Golden Square?” Cr Ruffell said councillors will weigh up the issues. “My gut feeling is I don’t think it will open,” she said. “I hope the community respects council’s decision when it comes. “Is it worth spending the $280,000 on given the age of it and how long it will be open for? “Is that enough to keep it open until the new pool is built? “If we are going to have to spend $4 million on Golden Square, why would we build a new aquatic centre?” Former councillor Bruce Phillips attacked the council for not going through with the closure immediately. “Their backbone has turned to jelly,” he said. “We cannot maintain all 12 pools. “If you see the way ahead you have to do it or you don’t get progress.” – Anthony Radford

SEVEN years ago Bendigo business owner Lisa Smith was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in both ovaries. “I am one of the fortunate one in three to survive this silent deadly killer,” she said. Only by chance though – it was detected early during a pregnancy ultrasound in 2004. “It’s taken until now for me to be able to talk about it,” Mrs Smith said. “I was too upset before.” Last year Lisa spoke at the Girls’ Biggest Makeover fundraiser and the floodgates were open. “Everyone was in tears, but I thought if I can do this I am ready.” As local community Ambassador for Ovarian Cancer Australia, Mrs Smith, along with other Bendigo business owners are raising money to help fund the development of an early screening test for ovarian cancer. “There is no test yet. The problem is cancer of the ovaries moves to other vital organs, and by the time it’s discovered it’s often too late,” she said. “Statistics show 1200 women

Plum domes assist those in need

Bendigo Health is trialling a new project that helps to identify patients who need assistance at meal times. Funds received by the Bendigo Health Foundation through a bequest have allowed the Plum Domes project to progress. Plum domes are placed over a patients meal, unlike the normal beige coloured food covers, to alert all staff that a patient may need assistance with their meal. The new innovation is being trialled in the Medical and Acute Medical Units and will be rolled out throughout the organisation. Bendigo Health’s chief dietitian Lee Mason said the Plums Domes project was already having positive results. “Patients may need help with opening food packages, assistance eating their meal or may just need encouragement to eat,” Ms Mason said. The Plum Domes project allows nurses, dietitians and speech pathologists to identify those patients who require additional assistance at meal times. “Our aim through this project is to identify the patients who need assistance as early as possible and reduce the risks for malnutrition. The project has been a close collaboration between food services, dietitians, the ‘nutrition champions’ on each ward, nursing staff and speech pathologists. “All of the staff involved have been fully supportive and wonderful to work with,” Ms Mason said.

Assistance required: Medical Unit nurse graduates Charlotte Henshaw and Natasha Bryant easily identify the need for patient help with the new plum domes. “The work has been part of a comprehensive project to ensure the food provided by Bendigo Health is more nutritious and better meets the needs of patients,” Ms Mason said. “By improving nutrition across the organisation we are aiming to reduce the length of stay for patients and making sure that their nutritional needs are catered for.

Bendigo Health Foundation director Jane Anderson said donations such as bequests allow us to support additional projects every year. “Bequests we receive often request that the donation be used to a specific area and, like this project, we are able to respect those wishes.” Donations can be made by calling the Bendigo Health Foundation on 5454 9167.

Parks fit to burst

Dry month adds to rise in state’s fire risk FIRE authorities are bracing for a prolonged period of heightened danger across the state for the rest of summer, and warned of danger between Bendigo and Mildura. Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said the peak of the fire season has only just arrived and lack of rain has completely dried most areas of grassland and bush across Victoria.

We should also be looking ahead... the highest risk for fires

STEPPING OUT: Commercial organisations are using the parks for fitness training. By ROSEMARY SORENSEN THE popularity of Bendigo’s parks is causing traffic jams, as people out for a stroll compete for space with fitness fanatics. This week, Greater Bendigo Recreation manager Pat Jess said the use of public parks by fitness groups in reserves such as Lake Weeroona and Rosalind Park has the potential to conflict with the use of paths by walkers. “Council currently does not have a policy specifically covering parks use by commercial organisations,” he said. “We don’t permit our parks to be used exclusively by anyone, so when they are using that space, they don’t have priority. “What we have recognised is the prevalence of the trainers is growing and as that grows there will be a greater need to govern the use of the parks.” Mr Jess said council officers are drafting a health and recreation policy paper, which is likely to go before council in the next financial year.

He said the issue of fitness trainers using shared spaces will be considered as part of that paper. “We’ve done some preliminary consultation with fitness groups as part of drafting our strategy,” he said. “The feedback from commercial fitness providers is they will welcome a policy and guidance to enable them to know what they can and can’t do. “They are keen to see guidelines they can follow.” Mr Jess said council will consider the need for a selfmanaged fitness circuit to be built in one of Bendigo’s parks. “It may well be that we develop that infrastructure to promote exercise and enable greater use of our parks in selected sites,” he said. “It’s a good thing that people are out and exercising more in Bendigo.” Tell us your thoughts Email: letters@bendigoweekly.com.au

ROOM TO MOVE: Greater Bendigo council will be looking into how to manage use of its resources.

House and Land Package

“The forecast for the coming days is for hot, dry weather with Fire Danger Ratings either Severe or Very High. In these types of conditions, if a fire starts, and takes hold, it may be uncontrollable,” he said. “Traditionally, we know that February is a bad month for fires. “While we have had a reprieve from the heat last week, it will only take a few days of hot weather like we have coming up next week, to be faced with severe or extreme fire danger

again.” Latest data from the Bureau of Meteorology data shows rainfall across the state during the past month was well below average. “This combined with heavy fuel-loads caused by rains and flooding across the state over the past couple of years means we are faced with a serious fire risk,” he said. Loddon Mallee regional controller Stuart Broad said while the east of Victoria had seen some rainfall in the past week, it was still extremely dry in the north-west. “We’ve had plenty of severe and extreme fire danger days this summer which will continue given the dry state of the region, combined with high fuel-loads,” he said. “Temperatures are predicted to again reach into the high 30s in north west Victoria this week and we should also be looking ahead for the rest of the month which is traditionally the highest risk for fires.” Stay informed through www.cfa.vic.gov. au, by listening to ABC local radio and designated emergency broadcasters, by using the FireReady smartphone application, calling the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667 or visiting an accredited visitor information centre.

raised by Hg Recoveries’ director Andrew Helps in October last year, when his company tested the soil on properties adjacent to the toxic sands site. CRC Care’s desktop audit of the reports, including the one prepared by Hg Recoveries, concluded the risk of offgassing is low because the site is alkaline and dry. “Furthermore, any potential for off-gassing will be greatly reduced by the proposed remediation of the site,” the report said. Mr Keely said the EPA will accept CRC Care’s recommendation for dust and ambient air monitoring in and around the site, and will consult the community group to develop a monitoring plan.

A NEW report has recommended the go-ahead for the clean-up of the toxic sands in and around the regional park in West Bendigo. Commissioned by the Environmental Protection Authority, the report addresses claims by a mercury-recovery company that both the temporary hydromulch cover and the remediation plan are unsafe. “There is no imminent risk to human health or to the environment presented by the site in its current state where the calcined sands are covered by a layer of hydromulch,” the report’s authors, CRC Care, wrote. “The remediation

Chris tackles a weighty issue AT 170 kilograms, Chris Smith said enough was enough. For all his adult life he had been overweight, and the time came to do something about it. A Lansell Homes manager, Mr Smith is 42, and reckoned on only 10 more years if he hadn’t made the move. “I had elevated cholesterol figures, but not typetwo diabetes. Surprisingly I had no major health issues,� he said. “I could hardly walk, though.� Mr Smith opted for gastric band surgery, but knew it

was a tool rather than a cure. “You are physically full, but you feel hungry,� he said. Mr Smith is 193cm tall, and said he does not expect ever to be a marathon runner, but he did want to be fit. “I guess it was my midlife crisis,� he said. “After four months with the gastric band I started exercising with Tony Skinner as my trainer. “I couldn’t even do one push up at the start.� Mr Smith recently completed Tough Mudder, a 20-kilometre assault course. “It was the hardest thing I have ever done, but the most fun,� he said. “Can you imagine the

fun of splashing through mud? “It was huge. I couldn’t have done it without the support of our team from Crossfit Anarchy.� Mr Smith goes to the gym each day, and his wife Georgina goes too. “We do it together, it’s important to have the support of friends and family,� he said. Mr Smith has no set goal, and is continuing on his weight loss plan slowly and sustainably. Next step is the Spartan Run, a 7km outing with his gym mates. “It’s part of an ongoing thing,� he said.

THE closure of the childcare centre is the first step towards re-establishing a functioning terminal at Bendigo Airport. “As the airport has continued to gather momentum and in the context of the redevelopment plans it was clear we needed to reclaim the building,� Greater Bendigo City Futures director Stan Liacos said. “We have done that, with no inconvenience to the parents.� The terminal building has been used as a childcare centre for the past six years. Mr Liacos said council, which owns the building, took possession of it recently, after four years working with the centre to relocate children to other kindergartens. “All we’re doing in the short term

Helen was named as Aldi and Barnardos Australia Mother of the Week winner. Now in its 18th year, Barnardos Australia’s Mother of the Year Awards provide an opportunity for mothers to be recognised for the contribution they make to the lives of their family and community.

Two years ago, Jessica became chronically ill and had to make regular long trips to Melbourne to go to hospital. Throughout that period, Mrs Farrar was always by her side to take care of her. “What she does for me is beyond anything I can imagine,� Jessica said. “The most amazing thing about my mum is that she never looks for a thank you or anything, she just does it. “My mum is an extraordinary person and I love her so much.� Mrs Farrar said the recognition

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, February 8, 2013 Letters are not guaranteed to be included and may be edited for reasons of style or content. Letters will not be eligible for consideration if they contain defamatory material, or information of a personal nature which is not in the public domain.

They are right to think of themselves IN response to G Read’s “Evaluate the Argument” Bendigo Weekly, February 1, I have to ask, was that a joke? Are you seriously boiling the complex and often heartbreaking nature of abortion down to girls who wear miniskirts are pregnancy prone morons, and women should stop expressing their opinions and just get married? You asked, “Wouldn’t it be less selfish to adopt out the child?” Yes, let’s put that to the cruel and narcissistic monsters in the middle of their high school studies, or in abusive relationships, or who’ve already been through difficult and life-threatening pregnancies, or who can barely afford to take care of themselves let alone carry a pregnancy to full term. Those shameless, selfish villains. How dare they think of themselves? It is arguments like yours that perpetuate an endemic attitude of intolerance, judgment and cruelty towards women, of all ages and from all walks of life, who seek abortions for their own very personal reasons. C Timperley, Flora Hill

Pool a public asset OUTDOOR pools are public facilities that are there for the local community to use in the summer. These are a public asset, and should be maintained just like any other public area. For example the Hargreaves Mall, Bull Street precinct, the Botanical Gardens – none of these make any attendance income and yet there is no question about keeping these areas open. Unfortunately the council suggested that the Committee of Management at the Golden Square pool fold several years ago, and the running of the pool was tendered to the YMCA. Over the past few years, there has been a clear lack of commitment at the pool, as it was run by paid employees who didn’t have the same compassion for the facilities as the local community does. It seems Golden Square and Long Gully pools may have been closed due to “lack of attendance.” The daily opening hours have been steadily reducing over the years. Local residents have reported the pools not being opened on

time, or at all on some days, turning families away. The Long Gully pool season was only one month last summer, and the Golden Square season was shortened due to poor water quality at the start of its season. Why has the attendance at these pools been compared to other Bendigo pools by just the number of people through the gate? Surely comparing the number of hours open should have been taken into consideration? The Save Our Golden Square Pool group will be asking for expressions of interest for committee members at the community meeting on Monday, February 18 at 7.30pm, upstairs at the Golden Square Football club rooms. Linda Howell, Golden Square

Questions to be asked PETER Kennedy’s article “Time to move on pools“ is quite right when he states: ”It will not make councillors ... popular with the opponents of the closure”. I would add to the statement “councillors are elected to make decisions and implement plans which the local community agree with, or are properly consulted about.” Ward councillors are elected

firstly to attend to their local constituents and represent them. If PK had attended the public meeting at the Golden Square clubrooms to ascertain the public’s opinion and hear the issues raised – I might agree with him. The figure of 1800 attendees at the Golden Square pool was caused by bad operation of the facility. The Golden Square public did not know when, or if, the facility would be open on any given day, resulting in the loss of attendance. PK’s article would have been better served asking questions on how the pool was operated. Bill Collier, Golden Square

Democracy not being served like this I’M not aware of the responsibilities of the Greater Bendigo council review committee but, if it is to be an independent review, the committee should simply select an appropriate consultant and take no further part in the process. I’m deeply disturbed that the three councillors appointed to the committee are all proponents of holding the review, and all from the same ward. I’m unconvinced that democracy is being served under these circumstances. This is particularly

so, when no involvement of the staff has been included. I believe that the three, yet to be appointed, private committee members should take all future decisions and consultation with the consultant, council, the public and the staff – and that all councillors should await and deliberate on the outcome of the review. Otherwise, the review will not be, or seem to be, truly independent. The way that things are structured has the propensity to look like, and turn out to be, a witch hunt. The reputation of this council has facilitated the attraction of some excellent executives, managers and staff. We have been able to pick the cream of the crop. The probable outcome of this poorly-conceived review is to lose valuable staff and leave us with mediocrity. Bruce Phillips, Bendigo

V I E W P O I N T opinion

A positive step THE Bendigo Weekly is known for its ability to seek out problems in the city and push for them to be fixed, making positives out of negatives. The water campaign that led to the construction of the superpipe, the problems with the Bendigo hospital that led to a $630 million new one, the toxic sands debacle at West Bendigo, the Better Health Club and the “missing” votes saga are a few that come to mind. This week, the Weekly is proud to highlight a problem that I think most of us are happy to have. Anyone who has ventured to Rosalind Park or Lake Weeroona for a bit of exercise of late will no doubt be aware of the increased use of the facilities. Not only are locals with prams, bikes and 80s tracksuits getting back out and pounding the paths, but the numbers of fitness companies there are also multiplying. Companies are making the most of the city’s increased interest in fitness, and are using our magnificent public spaces as a gym, of sorts. This is a pretty good problem to have. The more people who use these facilities the better.

PK with

PETER KENNEDY

Editorial Comment Healthy people make a healthy community. The only problem is they are growing at such a fast rate, the Greater Bendigo council can’t keep up with them. Through no fault of their own, council has been left behind, panting and gasping for strategic air, as it works out how to deal with this first-world problem. Mums and dads with prams, baby boomers with headphones, lycra-clad riders, and kids on trikes are now having to compete for footpath space with posses of cross trainers from a number of tribes. This problem highlights a solution the Weekly first raised almost a year ago. Bendigo’s open spaces need facilities that cater for such companies and groups. There is no need to create designated venues for these activities, as it is great to see such variety in our public spaces.

SPACE AGE: All need to be catered for. What is needed is a few areas where, if needed and only for a small part of their programs, such groups can focus on their fitness. Other cities, including Geelong, have equipment in their open spaces that allow these groups, and the general public, to exercise. There are so many products on the market, you can almost get a full workout while taking in the serene surrounds. While such facilities will never overtake the demand of a gym, they are a good idea to encourage the use of our open spaces more comfortably, by all.

Running for the country IN 218 days, Australians will go to the polls to determine which party will lead our country for the next three years. September 14, 2013 will bring down the curtain on what has been reasonably described as an unpopularity contest between Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott, rather than as the sort of popularity contest that saw for example Kevin Rudd or Bob Hawke ascend to the prime ministership in years gone by. But much sooner than September 14, the inevitable discussion about “what’s in all this for Bendigo” will begin, perhaps firstly as a rumbling over a latte in one of the city’s many fine coffee shops, but it will reach fever pitch by the time people eventually turn their minds to which candidate and which party they want to win the election. Voters get three years to make up their minds as to whether or not the incum-

bent is doing a good enough job to earn a second chance, or whether the opposition deserves a chance instead. We would be fools to merely cast all that aside and instead fall for a string of promises and pledges about the future announced in the days and weeks before the votes are cast.

But votes should never be bought. Elections should be about which party offers the best policies to provide the best future for our country, not just our own neighbourhood. If one electorate misses out on funding for a project it thought worthwhile, it should only be because there’s a bet-

It’s wrong to approach election campaigns as some sort of pot of gold It’s wrong to approach election campaigns as some sort of pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. But that does not stop councils, community and other interest groups from looking for salvation in the form of promises to fund any number of worthwhile projects for the benefit of the community. It happens in every electorate. Opposition parties call it pork barrelling.

ter project, or a more-needed project elsewhere. It should never be about where the promises that will deliver votes in return are made. After all, our federal politicians are elected to run the country, and the best way to do that is not by running 150 different electorates, but one big one called Australia.

Pathway to water fun

ABOUT 900 teenagers dove enthusiastically into their VCE year at the Bendigo Aquatic Centre this week. Bendigo Senior Secondary College students began the 2013 school year with an aquatic challenge focused on fun, making new friends, light-hearted competitions and water-based games. The annual Pathway Community Aquatic Challenge gives students the chance to bond with teachers, staff and fellow students in a relaxed, fun-filled atmosphere and is part of the college’s week-long Blast Off program. In eight groups, similar to traditional school houses, students showed great creativity and flair in the aerial acrobatics diving competition while the horizontal bungee jump, Sumo suit challenge and giant boxing glove duels also provided plenty of laughs. Other popular activities included the water slide and Big Nessie, a dragon-like floating obstacle course, while competitive swimmers vied for glory in the pool in the elite Gold-

en Goggles Challenge, a traditional and hotly-contested 50 metre swim sprint that was first held more than 20 years ago. Cheered on pool-side by her peers, Year 11 student Maddy Hawke took out line honours in the Golden Goggles female student sprint in a time of 32.87 seconds, followed closely by Eliza Singleton (34.55 secs) and Ashley Trounson (34.90 secs). VCE student James Coughlin won the male students’ section for the second consecutive year, finishing in a time of 26.51 seconds and narrowly edging out Alex Barkmeyer (27.02 secs) and Lachlann Tyson (27.82 secs). Place-getters in the staff 50-metre dash were outdoor education teacher Jordan Orr (30.82 secs), ICT coordinator and 2012 titleholder Warren Sutton (32.20 secs), and maths/ science teacher Roy Preece. BSSC has more than 920 students beginning Year 11 this year and a total of 1795 students enrolled across the college.

Event co-ordinator Scott Vaughan said the annual challenge was a great way to introduce newcomers to the college and allay any nerves. “The prospect of starting VCE, particularly at a new school, can be a little daunting for some young people,� he said. “Our Blast Off program and

the Aquatic Challenge gives them the chance to socialise with teachers, staff and their peers in a really friendly, relaxed atmosphere outside the school environment where they can get to know each other, build connections and establish really great relationships right from the start.�

Jessica out of the box BENDIGO Health has named this year’s Kelly Weire Memorial winner. The award commemorates the achievements of the late Kelly Weire, who died in a plane crash in Papua New Guinea in August, 2009. Kelly was an occupational therapist who embraced every opportunity with passion and determination and was committed to learning and improving her skills, continually challenging herself to be the best she could be. She clearly saw that working with clients in a partnership yielded better outcomes for all concerned. The award was established in

her honour and provides support for the winner to further develop their professional expertise. Bendigo’s Jessica Harper was this week named as the winner. Jessica began as a new graduate in the Grade One Occupational Therapy rotation program in November, 2011. Since this time Jessica has worked in the acute and inpatient rehabilitation areas. She has been described as “one out of the box� in her commitment to the occupational therapy profession and has demonstrated a clear passion for client-centred care very early in her career and is a valued member of the teams she works in.

School buses to fill spare seats THE Heathcote, Redesdale– Mia Mia and Raywood primary schools have opened their school bus networks to community members, inviting them to access spare seats on services running each school day. Greater Bendigo’s BLine Transport Connections Project, funded by the State Government, encouraged the schools to consider the arrangement to give rural communities more transport options. B-Line co-ordinator Toni Grace said the communitybased service allows residents in Greater Bendigo’s outer districts to travel between various localities during the school term. “Rural community members have indicated they often find it difficult to access appointments, training and employment opportunities, and social activities due to limited transport options, so having access to the school bus network should assist with this,� she said. “There are designated pick-up and set-down points in Redesdale, Mia Mia, Heathcote, Mt Camel, Costerfield, Raywood, Neilborough, Sebastian, Woodvale and Eaglehawk.

“The services also link up with public transport timetables for those wanting to travel into Bendigo or onto Melbourne. “Anyone wishing to access the school bus network must first complete a General Public Travel Form, police check or Working with Children’s Certificate and a pay a small fare. “To ensure bus drivers know to collect passengers, users must provide details of the regular days and times they intend to travel.� Principals Cindi Bruechert, Ben Fiegert and Lynne Colbert encourage community members to make the most of these newly available community transport options. “It is wonderful to be able to share these services with the broader community and provide regular and reliable transport options for rural community members,� Mr Fiegert said. Bus timetables are available from the Heathcote, Redesdale-Mia Mia and Raywood Primary School, Eaglehawk and Heathcote Neighbourhood Houses, and City of Greater Bendigo offices in Bendigo and Heathcote.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, February 8, 2013

A book of her own It was a series of coincidences that brought Mary Pomfret to Bendigo. But once here, she found her writing voice. Ms Pomfret will launch her first book this month, a small collection of linked prose pieces called Writing in Virginia’s Shadow. Published by a little innovative company called Ginninderra Press, based in Adelaide, the collection came out of Ms Pomfret’s work as an honours student at La Trobe University. Born in Manchester, schooled in Hobart then Melbourne, and with the experience of living in places as diverse as a mining town in Tasmania, Adelaide and Alice Springs, she says coming to Bendigo opened doors for her. “Regional cities offer so many opportunities that don’t come your way in big cities,� Ms Pomfret says. After achieving a diploma in creative writing from Bendigo TAFE, she then went on to university, and is now undertaking doctoral studies. “Meeting (lecturer) Sue Gillett was so important, because she understood my view of the world, and encouraged me, and, above all else, inspired me with confi-

dence,� she says. The “Virginia� in the book’s title is Virginia Woolf, whose essay about how important it is for a woman writer to have a “room of her own� was so influential in changing perceptions. Ms Pomfret’s grandmother, for most of her life, couldn’t read or write, a situation which was “commonplace� for many workingclass women. “I’m interested in the female perspective on the writing world,� she says. “Basically, how you see the world depends on your class, your religion, your gender.� Her first book is experimental in form, a collage that is like a short-story cycle. “It’s not so difficult to get published in newspapers and magazines, but to be taken seriously, you do have to have some kind of book with your name on it,� she says. “Publishers take you more seriously when you show you can go through the process.� Mary Pomfret’s Writing in Virginia’s Shadow will be launched by Sue Gillett at La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre at 6pm on February 27. – Rosemary Sorensen

Did you know? SAINT Valentine’s Day, now referred to as Valentine’s Day, originated in Europe, after a proclamation from Rome in 500 AD from Pope Gelasius I and was named after an early Christian martyr, according to many historians. Saint Valentine supposedly supported and performed Christian marriages in Rome in 270 AD, even though the Roman Emperor Claudius II forbade the practice among his Roman Legions – believing marriage weakened his soldiers’ resolve. Valentine now known as the friend of lovers was believed to have been executed on February 14, for defying the Emperor. The day first became commonly associated with romantic love during the Middle Ages, when the notion of courtly romance flourished through the realms of Europe due to Geoffrey Chaucer’s influence. The first recorded association of Valentine’s Day with romantic love

is in Chaucer’s Parlement of Foules 1382, resulting in the sending of Valentine’s Day cards becoming hugely popular in Britain and America in the late 18th century. Modern Valentine’s Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, confectionery and sending greeting cards known as valentines.

Bendigo gets the Blues By JOEL PETERSON

FOOTY FANS: Jordan, Whaylon and Tom.

Students ready for the visit the big fancy dinner might have been out of the reach of the students at Kalianna School. that didn’t mean, however, they had to miss out on the visit of Carlton Football Club. today, at the specialist school on Prouses Road in Bendigo, the students will meet a group of Carlton players, who yesterday ran a clinic at the QeO and last night attended a function

at the All Seasons hotel. “It’s pretty much football season already for us,” Pe co-ordinator Rob Brown said. “All our kids get involved, it’s great for their motor skills.” Mr Brown said the visit won’t be a workout for players or students. “they’re just really excited to meet some of the players they know,” he said.

BendIgO was abuzz yesterday, as the Carlton Football Club came to town for their AFL Community Camp. Led by Marc Murphy, the players were welcomed at a Civic reception in the CBd before visiting schools, the Bendigo hospital and conducting clinics at the QeO. there was also a clinic for local coaches, who had the opportunity to learn from the Blues’ assistant coaches to plan for the upcoming season. Kade Simpson and Bryce gibbs also visited the Bendigo Post Office to promote Boots for All, a program that encourages people to donate their secondhand football boots. the Blues also featured at a sportsman’s night at the All Seasons Resort last night, and will be equally busy on the camp’s second and final day. Carlton chief executive officer gregg Swann, assistant coach John Barker and general manager of consumer business Clinton Brown will host a lunch for business administrators. Worksafe AFL Victoria Country region development manager tony Mcnamara said “to have the CeO and other senior administration people for an AFL Club come to Bendigo to talk about their business practices is a truly unique opportunity.” “What a club administrator and the business community can learn from such people is priceless,” he said. the camp will then wrap up with more community group visits and a visit to St John Of god hospital, before the Blues kick off their nAB Cup campaign on Sunday, February 24.

Dear Dotty...

Half-baked health

LIFE • 19

Dear Dotty, What’s your advice about scarves? I heard a fellow refer to a group of women who happened to be having a day out at the art gallery as Bendigo’s scarfia, which I presume referred to the lovely colourful Dior and Liberty prints they had tied across their shoulders. Is the scarf a fashion faux pas? Karen, Heathcote

Steve’s mudlarks in the sooty garden made for a fitter future THE fun police are alive and well. The National Health and Medical Research Council has brought in guidelines which will stop the blowing out of birthday cake candles at childcare centres. Of course the theory is great, to stop the spread of ailments and disease. What a farce. The human body survives by confronting germs and building up antibodies. It’s the way it works. If you put a child in cellophane every little thing will catch up with them in later life. I grew up in the 1960s in England, and lived in a terraced house in London. The backyard, which we called a garden, was about four metres by five surrounded by a high wooden fence. Across the back boundary were railway lines,

nine of them sending commuters into the city. Our house was built in the 1870s, so the soot from the steam trains had built up in our yards for near on 100 years. I still remember seeing all-black steam locomotives pulling freight. The yard was full of dirt which my brother and I dug up, filled with water, had bonfires in, rebuilt the Western Front for our soldiers and then filled it in. Only to do it all the next day. Goodness knows how many plastic French, German, British, Australian, Russian and Japanese infantry lie under the mud in the garden. We had an Alsatian dog

called Butch, and cats called William and Samantha. They happily used the garden too. It was a real germfest, and I bet my antibodies were up and running on high alert by the time I turned four. Sure, I didn’t like the dog poo, but the mud was great fun. Thick black mud that you could fall in and splash. No doubt ending up eating some. At the risk of sounding too old, we made our own fun without the playstation or the TV. We had the garden. Germs and all. I am about to reveal another ancient secret. In those days, if a child caught chicken pox all your mother’s friends would liaise and mix the kids up a bit. The idea was to make sure they all had a dose of

chicken pox. Itchy though it was, it was better to get it out of the way in childhood. I can still remember the smell of calamine lotion, and I only used it the once. Chicken pox over and done with aged seven. The alternative with cotton-wool and bubblewrapped children is they miss out in youth and end up with shingles or worse later in life, a whole new ball game. Calamine lotion will hardly touch the sides. So mummies and daddies, if your child wants a birthday cake, do it at home, because if the cake police have their way the sweet morsel will come as cupcakes or wrapped in kitchen film. Apart from anything else, how can you steal a piece of icing if the bugger’s wrapped up?

Dear Karen Scarves are only a fashion faux pas when they are worn with beanies in football colours. Apart from that, they are to be applied with joie de vivre and savoir faire, aplomb and razzamatazz. Don’t you love the way men put a bit of coloured material around their necks, call it a tie and think it’s a fashion statement? Dear Dotty, When I was a lad, mum and dad used to tell me it was bad manners to go through a door in front of a lady. A nice young woman the other day stepped aside for me when we both reached a door and I’m afraid I think I offended her when I insisted she go first. Who was right? Peter, Maiden Gully

Illustration: “Wildey”

Dear Peter How lucky are you? Parents who cared about manners, a nice woman taking you into account. When I got your letter, I was like, whaaa, get out, hey, hi ho silver, doh and jimminy cricket. Doesn’t this dude know times have changed? Right isn’t the point, it’s whether you won. If you didn’t elbow her then you’re a loser, and I’m putting you on youtube so you go viral. (Smile, say thanks, and step lightly through the door: everyone’s a winner when grace is in play.) We invite our readers to send in their letters to: Dear Dotty, Bendigo Weekly, PO Box 324, Bendigo 3552 or email editor@ bendigoweekly.com.au Twitter: @DearDotty

Clare by the river By STEVE KENDALL

CLARE Bowditch is messing about on boats next weekend, as she takes part in the Riverboats Festival. Staged in Echuca-Moama, the festival takes place in a natural amphitheatre next to the Murray, so maybe next to boats is more accurate. Clare is no stranger to performing, and in her own words said she would give a good show in a shoebox or an elevator. “You can have lots of fun with the audience,� she said. Clare is marking 20 years in the music business, and at 36 is proud that by working hard at her chosen

craft has been able to make it a full-time career. “Ten years ago I became a mother, and that was the point where I had to decide if I wanted to continue the music,� she said. “It was important I had an outlet. “I have three children now, including twins.� Clare has added another string to her bow landing a role in TV’s Offspring. She plays the role of a singer, which on the face of it would seem an easy task. “It’s an enormous learning curve, but the part wasn’t written for me, I had to audition,� Clare said. “It’s good working with such-talented actors, and I will be back in season four.�

In 2012, the band returned to the studio in Cape Town, Melbourne and New York to record their sopho-

Airing their views LAST week I introduced some of the members of the Ventilation of Mines Board which had been set up by an act of Parliament to make recommendations as to how the air quality in the ever deepening mines of Bendigo in the 1880s could be improved. Carl Roeder was the chairman of the board. Apart from his practical mining experience, he had been a mining legal manager, and a mine investor, holding shares in 11 companies at the time of their formation. Carl also became a Bendigo City councillor, was active in the Deutsche Verein and was a member of the Bendigo School of Mines council. Prominent mine manager George Armstrong was, as previously mentioned, managing the Lazarus mine situated on the open ground about 150 metres from Chum Street, to the east of Fortuna Villa. The Lazarus was an exceptionally hot and poorly ventilated mine because the shaft had originally been sunk in a less strategic spot to access the reefs, so an internal blind shaft was sunk some distance from the original. A winding plant was set up inside the mine, the steam for which was piped down below. The exhausted steam from the winder escaped into the mine workings adding to the heat and already dust-laden atmosphere.

HERITAGE MATTERS ECHOING THE PAST: The remains of the Terminus Hotel

WITH

JAMES LERK Mr Armstrong managed to persuade his directors to connect the internal shaft direct to the surface so that the winding could be done from there as well as helping to slightly improve ventilation. In time, the Lazarus number seven level was connected to the workings of the neighbouring Lansell 222 Mine, helping to improve the overall ventilation. JB Lillie Mackay was another member of the board. At that time he was the youngest-ever director of the Bendigo School of Mines, a highly qualified man holding, among other qualifications, a Diploma from the Chemical Society of London and was a Fellow of the Linnean Society. He lectured in geology, mineralogy, materia medica and botany. Later in his short life he was appointed a professor. Another person well qualified to sit on the board was William Henry Grainger. Mr Grainger was born at Galway in 1834, and when he came to Bendigo in 1853, he immediately involved himself in mining. By 1858 he had already caught the attention of others, because of his methodical work practices. He was soon promoted to

What lies beneath

become a shift boss within the mines. From this position he was elevated to become a mining manager on the New Chum Line of Reef. With the passing of the Regulation of Mines Act in 1873 involving safety in the industry, Mr Grainger was appointed as first Mining Inspector for the Bendigo goldfield. Mr Grainger had to tread a difficult path to bring mining companies, mine managers and miners to respect him for his consideration and tact; he was motivated by his deeply held religious convictions. As an active member of the Masonic fraternity Mr Grainger made many friends in high places. He was also to

The board recognised that in the early days of mining many mistakes were made and these were not easy to rectify. In the findings the board stated, “…but it is right and proper that the mine-owner should be compelled to supply good air to his workmen.” They also stated that, “the miner’s occupation is essentially an unhealthy one, and it is not to be expected that it can ever be made as comfortable and free from inconvenience as the occupations of those who work on the surface, either on the farm or in the factory.”

THE little kerfuffle about whether or not a restaurant in Queen Street can put up a picket fence instead of canvas street shields is a ground-level debate about the cityscape. But when you walk through town, how often do your eyes lift from the footpath, up above the shop and office-fronts, above the higgledypiggledy verandahs, to what’s behind? Down at street level, Mitchell Street is, let’s face it, pretty bland. Shops in the post-war period rarely bothered with ornate brickwork or timber trims. And as they knocked down fading buildings, up went replacements that were, let’s say, functional rather than fancy. Just around the corner from Mason’s in Queen Street with its elegant glass facade and controversially genteel pavement eating area, there’s a string of eateries and a long, skinny hair salon, which

flank Mitchell Street as it rises gently towards Market Place and the railway station. Up above My Teppanyaki, there’s half a building. You can see it’s half a building because the name, etched out in plastered bricks, says “Termin”. The Terminus Hotel wasn’t, from the evidence that’s left, a particularly fine building and for many years it wasn’t even a hotel. Travellers arriving by train must have found other places to stay, perhaps a little further from the noise of the station. But there it sits, half a building, truncated in one of the many developments in the ever-changing CBD. Makes you wonder what else is behind the facades, and whether, as the city continues to change, some of those old buildings will gradually come to light.

SUSTAINABLE LIVING FESTIVAL FEBRUARY 9-24, 2013

HILE the majority of activities for this year’s Sustainable Living Festival are Melbourne based there are still plenty of options available for Bendigo residents to help create a more sustainable future. Groups such as the Bendigo Stainability Group are an invaluable resource in helping change the world we live in. “Rather than pushing a certain agenda the group acts as an umbrella for people with ideas in particular fields,” Bendigo’s Stainability Group President David Brownbill said. These include a group promoting sustainable foods by growing food in community gardens, among other initiatives, solar power, recycling and even a group concerned with bottled water consumption, BendiGo Tap, whose primary aims are: • Bottled water free schools and businesses. • Raised awareness of the cost and environmental damage caused by bottled water. • The recommissioning of our historic water fountain in Rosalind Park. • Reusable bottle sales as an alternative to bottled water on sale at local retailers. To find out more about the Bendigo Stainability Group and the various groups they foster, phone 5443 5244 during office hours Thursdays and Fridays, or check out their Facebook page for further details. The following pages also highlight the initiatives and services of local businesses and organisations contributing to a more sustainable future.

Make a difference

ECYCLABLES are a valuable resource and the Bendigo community is great at recycling – but we can always improve. There are a few things that we need to remember when sorting out our waste from our recycling: Don’t put your recycling in plastic bags, just put the individual items loose in the recycling bin. Check for recycling in every room of the house – the kitchen isn’t the only room where you will find things that can be recycled. Check your bathroom, laundry and study too. Make sure the items you recycle are empty, they don’t have to be sparkling clean, just no leftover pizza slices. By keeping to these simple rules all of the paper, cans and plastic bottles that would normally spend the next 1000 years sitting in landfill can instead be recycled and used to help manufacture cars, roads and even more plastic bottles. By making a few simple changes around the home you can not only reduce the amount of waste going to landfill but also the amount you pay to have all of that waste sorted. To see what can be recycled, where to take it and what the material you recycle gets made into, go to the Calder Regional Waste Management Group website: www.crwmg.vic. gov.au for more information.

Solar pioneers S

OLAHART helped pioneer the Australian solar industry in the 1950s, and has sold over one million solar hot water systems worldwide. With water heating accounting for almost a quarter of the average household’s energy use and energy prices on the rise, many homeowners are looking to find ways to become more energy efficient. One of the best ways to do this is to replace household electric water heaters with solar alternatives according to Solarhart. Switching to a solar water heater can not only decrease harmful CO² emissions but reduce water heating energy consumption by between 50 and 90 per cent helping you save on your power bills. Solahart has also recently launched a new range of top quality, high performance solar power (photovoltaic) systems to help consumers harness even more energy free from the sun and maximize their power savings knowing their solar systems are backed by the market leader. With almost 60 years experience in providing superior solar energy systems, Solahart recommends that home-owners first look to reduce their energy consumption by replacing any electric or gas hot water system with a solar alternative before moving to solar power to cover the balance of the household’s electricity needs. The team at Phoenix will explain the different solar water heating and solar power options, as well as current government incentives. They will make it easy to decide what is best for your needs. Come in and talk to the team at Phoenix Plumbing/Solahart at 60 Powells Avenue Bendigo, or give them a call on 1300 721 946 or 5441 2533 for the right advice and to book a free in-home consultation.

New installation a winner T

HIS year’s Sustainable Living Festival raises awareness and provides solutions to the ecological and social challenges facing us all. However, Margaret of Strathdale hasn’t needed any festival to take advantage of the latest solar technology in a domestic dwelling in the region earlier this week with the installation of a 12 panel three kilowatt solar inverter with excess power being stored in a 24 volt system for later use. Ecosmart’s Jill Barker has co-ordinated the region’s brightest experts to help install this latest technology for a first for a suburban home with the help of Martin Gray of Solar Backup and Daniel Ralph from All-tech Electrical Solutions. “It truly is a team effort,with a truly international feel with a Dutch inverter, German batteries and Chinese solar panels,” Martin said while connecting the inverter to the battery bank consisting of four six volt batteries. These provide the home’s power when not directly supplied by the dozen 255 watt solar panels. “This battery backup system incorporates all the latest technology,” Jill said.

“Solar power should meet all of Margaret’s electrical needs during the day, with the household drawing on the stored battery power at night.” To find out more about the advantages of solar power systems contact Ecosmart on 133 326 or view their website at www.ecosmart.com.au for more details.

HETHER for your child’s birthday party or a company function where kids need to be entertained, local business Bendigo Castle King have a range of jumping castles to suit every occasion. “Our castles come in 11 different themes: fairy, blast off, toy box combo, clown combo, jungle jump, animal farm, happy birthday, mermaid and fun-house combo, which have slides inside,� Susan from Bendigo Castle King said. Bendigo Castle King jumping castles are all industrial strength blow-ups. Equipped with UV shades which keep the sun out and a front bumper to prevent children falling out. All electric motors and leads are protected by safety switches. Safety is a always a big consideration, so Susan or Glen make sure the person running

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

ONVEYANCING and property law has reached new heights in Bendigo recently with Adrian Basile of Basile & Co, now operating from Bendigo, complementing their existing Kerang and Cohuna locations. To help get the Bendigo office off to a flying start Adrian is offering his Bendigo clients a short free joy flight with the opportunity to see their property from the air (a limited Bendigo radius applies). Clients have no need to fear because Adrian, currently Vice President of the Bendigo Flying Club and a qualified commercial pilot has been flying longer than he has been driving. After 15 years in various management roles, Adrian joined the family business in 2010 to start a new career as a conveyancer

Native fishing improves mobiles, as emergency calls revert to the closest telecommunications provider. He also gave members a rundown on basic first-aid including CPR. Prior to Wally’s informative lecture members reported mixed fishing success over the festive season, with Eppalock still providing plenty of action in the Derrinnal Pool and Twin Rivers area on bait and lures. Three members had even landed under-sized cod as an unexpected catch – which holds well for the future especially if the proposed fish stocking rates eventuate. Golden perch captures are also increasing. Meanwhile the Murray River above Torrumbarry has also been fishing well for cod and could well be worth a try after the river settles down after this weekend’s Southern 80 ski race. Thirty members of the Bendigo Legion Angling Club are expected at the Majors Creek Reserve at Nagambie for this year’s first official trip this weekend. From all reports the region is fishing well with a variety of species on offer: cod, golden perch, redfin and trout. Fisherman and Bendigo Field Naturalists Club member, Maurice Lewis, is after several volunteers to ferry naturalists from Twin Rivers on Saturday, March 24, up the Campaspe

OUND two of the Central Victorian Lure Casters Super Series was held last month on the Goulburn River above Nagambie. Eighty-nine anglers participated in this increasingly popular catch and release series always held within easy commuting distance from Bendigo. Overall 13 Murray cod and eight golden perch were caught in the designated time with Craig Hartnett landing the largest cod with a 68 centimetre specimen, winning $620 for his efforts. Another $420 was raised with their regular Fish Stocking Raffle which will be put to good use in the future, following the success of their recent cod liberation above Torrumbarry. Visit www.cvlcss.com for further details about forthcoming rounds. About three dozen members of the Bendigo Legion Angling club were present at their first general meeting of the year earlier this week to listen to a guest speaker from Ambulance Victoria, Wally Smiley. Wally reiterated the importance of dialing 000 in an emergency regardless of signal strength from

HE hot weather of the past month has certainly slowed any fly-fishing activity. Fishers who headed for Northeast streams found most were running low and warm. Nariel Creek at Corryong is usually a good destination in summer, but even this stream was considered too warm for fly-fishing. Col Holland camped at Three Mile Dam and was very pleased when he found trout actively feeding on a hatch of mudeyes in the evening. Col soon had a Cruddler fly on and had a good time catching rainbow trout to about 1.25 kilograms. The only local report I have heard is from Bob Evans who landed a brown trout of about 750 grams, at Barkers Creek reservoir. Bob informs me that the water in Barkers Creek reservoir is getting warmer and that most insect hatches have slowed down as has any surface feeding activity. There is a large population of carp in the shallows at Barkers Creek. Fly fishers have enjoyed an excellent season in Tasmania – two groups of Bendigo Fly Fishers visited there in late November, early December. They had plenty of dry fly fishing to trout feeding on Mayfly duns and orange spinners; hatches of gum beetles provided another option. Roger Booth caught a number of fish over 1.5 kilograms on a black and red fur fly. Catching your first trout on a dry fly is a great thrill for any beginner fly-fisher. The smile on our daughter-in-law Elspeth’s face said it all recently, at Lake Big Jim in Tasmania with a fish caught on an orange spinner fly. She is already planning her next trip along with husband Rohan, who will be pleased to accompany her as he had landed two fish the same morning. Elspeth’s fish was the biggest and I had warned Rohan about going fishing with women and children – they always catch the biggest fish.

WEEKLYSPORT

Paths open to finals

SIGNED: Josh Garlepp. BOWLED OVER: Maiden Gully was defeated at Evolution Oval.

Garlepp adds grunt to the big Braves

By JOEL PETERSON

MARONG sprung an upset in round nine of the Emu Valley Cricket Association to keep their finals hopes alive, with a comprehensive victory over Emu Creek. Going into the game second on the ladder, Emu Creek could only manage 96 in reply to the Panthers’ day one total of 229. Jayden Laubsch was the best of the Marong bowlers taking 3/12 while Dean Cosgriff and Jeremy Ross added two scalps each. Opener Brad Rowe was the only batsman to show any resistance for Emu Creek, making 28, as Emu Creek slipped below Mandurang to third on the ladder. Sedgwick surged back onto the winners list, restricting Axe Creek to 163 in reply to their day one total of 9/229 at Catholic College. The Cowboys were best served by Ross Brown (43) and Anthony Rogers (39) as the emerging Craig Lock captured 3/13 to be the best of the bowlers for the Rams. West Bendigo moved a step closer to cementing a finals berth by defeating Maiden Gully at Evolution Oval. Chasing the Gully’s 162 the Redbacks answered with 214 – Jason McDonald’s 49 provided the backbone for the innings and he had good support from Brad McHugh (35) and Andrew Sharpe (25). Mark Roberts was the best with the ball for Maiden Gully capturing 3/25 in an even bowling performance. United showed why they are the side to beat, chasing down Spring Gully’s 262 with 5/280 at Ewing Park. Spring Gully looked like a chance when they had United at 4/92, before opener Alex Collins and Jayde Mullane joined forces to form a 188-run partnership for the fifth wicket and put the result out of doubt. Mullane recorded 119 while Collins’ knock of 92 not out to go with his 5/98 with the ball on day one ended the Crows’ chances in the game, and put their slim finals hopes out of reach. At Pearce Reserve, Golden Gully amassed 233 against Mandurang but were still well short of the 370 run target set by last year’s premiers.

THE Bendigo Braves are hoping the old adage “two are better than one” proves true for them in season 2013, after signing Josh Garlepp this week. The 201cm West Australian was added to the club’s roster on Wednesday, completing its lineup for the upcoming 2013 SEABL season. It proved a boost in an interesting week for the Braves, who learned a day earlier that club legend David Flint – who has his jersey hung from the rafters of the Bendigo Stadium – would coach arch-rival Ballarat Miners. Josh is the younger brother of 2012 Braves Most Valuable Player Tom Garlepp, who is currently playing in the National Basketball League with the Sydney Kings. The signing came as an early birthday present for the younger of the two Garlepps, as he turned 24 on Thursday. It will see the brothers reunite on the court for the first time since 2009 when they played for the West Australian State Basketball League’s Perry Lake Hawks. He averaged 13.2 points and eight rebounds per game in his last season with the Hawks. Coach Ben Harvey said the signing will boost the team’s front court, with the Garlepp brothers and Ivan McFarlin – who arrives in Bendigo on Monday – forming a dynamic frontline. “I am extremely happy that Josh has decided to sign with us and complete our roster,” Harvey said. “He will add some grunt to our big man department and will also compliment Ivan and Tom nicely.” Garlepp said he was excited about the move to Bendigo, having been a part of the Perth Wildcats development squad throughout the current NBL season. I’ve heard great things about not only the club but also Ben Harvey from the likes of Shaun Dennis and Shaun Redhage,” he said. “I’m looking forward to meeting the boys and of course suiting back up with Tom.” The Braves and Bendigo Lady Braves start their seasons on March 15 in a double header, with both teams playing Knox at the Bendigo Stadium. - Joel Peterson

BREAKTHROUGH: U16 Bendigo Fighting Miners play at Epsom. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

By JOEL PETERSON

Bendigo Fighting Miners will begin their Victorian Rugby Union country division premiership defence on a big stage this Saturday, when they play in a country sevens tournament at Simonds Stadium in geelong. The Melbourne Rebels will play the Auckland Blues in a trial game at the venue, which will be preceded by the tournament featuring eight clubs from around country Victoria. Border Army, Puckapunyal and Shepparton are the Miners’ rivals from the VRU country division, as well as Ballarat, geelong, Melton and Warrnambool. The Miners’ traditional strength is its powerful forward pack which will be severely tested by the sevens format, but captain Jesse Tuituipou is optimistic about the team’s chances at the weekend. “We have done well in the 10s format in the past couple of years and i expect our team to perform well in sevens,” Tuituipou said. “This is an exciting chance to appear on a bigger stage in front of a large crowd.” not only is the sevens format hugely different, the Miners will compete under the tutelage of a new coach

– Adam Turpin. Turpin was a member of the Miners’ 2006 premiership team, and played 41 games with the club in his preferred position of blindside flanker, as well as stints playing in Townsville and Parramatta. Fighting Miners president Alan Wilkinson said he is confident Turpin will lead the club to further success. “Adam had a very impressive playing career. He has led the pre-season

training of the Miners impressively,” he said. “i am confident he will be successful in his new role with our club.” The Miners are also currently seeking more junior players to join the club in its under-16 and -18 age groups. Pre-season training is being held at the epsom-Huntly Recreation Reserve every Thursday night, and any interested players can contact Alan Wilkinson on 0409 769 848.

Handley pedals in SoMe of Britain’s promising young cycling talent again tried their hand against the best Bendigo has to offer in the Symes Motors Skoda A-grade race of the Cafe Roubaix Summer Series on Sunday. Remaining in Bendigo to train, the JLT Rapha Condor riders, who dominated the racing last week, again fared well on the Mayfair Park circuit, in a large field of 22 riders. one of the Rapha Condor riders in Richard Handley showed from the early stages he had the legs to win, taking the first intermediate sprint ahead of Luke Mellor and last week’s winner, Felix english. irishman Aaron Buggle then took the second sprint ahead of the Mellor and english tandem who again filled out second and third, respectively. Much like the first two intermediate sprints, the race itself came down to a battle between Handley and Buggle, with the englishman Handley getting the better of his irish counterpart. Local boy Jarrod Moroni was able to sprint home into third, despite seven of the international riders filling the first nine placings. A competitive field of 25 riders lined up in the Ronde Socks B-grade race, contested over 30 minutes and three laps. Steve Rooney was the eventual winner, with Kyle Lierich home in second and Charlie

Fitzpatrick third, continuing a good run of form. Local star Peta Mullens finished a creditable ninth, before going on to win the Red Star Coffee Women’s grand Prix race that was held later in the day. in the Hume-and-iserbacked C grade race Adam Lennon took victory over James Hampson and Steve Flood, while Mark green continues to dominate the Tweed Sutherland d-grade, winning again from Matt Waugh and Aidan Hamilton. Meanwhile, the Central Victorian Veterans Cycling Club held the 46km Harding Cycles Handicap, at newbridge last Sunday. The course was a two-lap circuit, from newbridge, South to Laanecoorie, then head back north up the Maldon Highway back to newbridge, with a field of 46 riders in attendance. The handicapper divided the field into eight bunches, with scratch conceding between two and 25 minutes. The field stayed fairly static for most of the time, with bunches managing to keep their distance from each other. At the final corner the 18-minute-markers were about two minutes clear, leaving them to sprint for the win. it was Richard Wright, who had ridden strongly throughout, who took the win, followed by Sabrina Smythe and Wendy Bennett. - Joel Peterson

Stadium backing By JOEL PETERSON

BENDIGO Spirit’s battle to host a home Grand Final has entered the political sphere, with several local politicians throwing their weight behind the issue. Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan has taken to twitter recently to show her support for the Spirit, and this week Liberal candidate for Bendigo Greg Bickley also aired his thoughts about the ongoing saga. “The possibility of Bendigo hosting a WNBL final, and even a Grand Final, in Bendigo is very exciting,” he said. “I want to see every opportunity for Bendigo to host the final, or be in the finals series.” Mr Bickley, who is a Spirit sponsor, has a wealth of involvement in local basketball including playing, coaching, and watching his children play in local leagues. “I call on Basketball Australia to come to the party, if we can provide the seating that’s required and fit the criteria that they are setting down, then there is no reason that we shouldn’t have these finals played in Ben-

digo,” Mr Bickley said. “It’s Basketball Australia, it’s not Basketball Melbourne, and I think the community needs to unite.” Mr Bickley also said he is interested in putting money towards the reported $50,000 it would cost the Spirit to provide the extra seating necessary to bring the stadium up to a capacity of 3000 people. “I’ll be keen to commit to a campaign to raise the funds needed to ensure that we’re able to provide that facility and to host the Grand Final for what is arguably Bendigo’s leading sporting team at the moment. “This is a national basketball team based in Bendigo that could win the premiership, I think it’s very exciting and I think the people of Bendigo need to be aware that we deserve to make this happen.” On the court, the Spirit can lock up top spot on the WNBL ladder in this weekend’s clash with Canberra at the Bendigo Stadium. Following a 20-point loss to Adelaide on Sunday, Bendigo will be keen to rebound against Canberra, who were the first team to defeat the

BENDIGO was abuzz yesterday, as the Carlton Football Club came to town for their Australia Post

Spirit this season back in Round Six. In a further boost to the home side’s chances, Canberra will be without one of their leading players in Brigitte Ardossi, who was suspended by her club in a

AFL Community Camp. Marc Murphy and the rest of the Blues list were welcomed at a Civic Re-

bizarre sequence of events this week. Ardossi was referred to the WNBL tribunal after she tripped Townsville Fire guard Rachel Flanagan last Friday, having not been reported for the incident on the night.

ception in the CBD before visiting schools, and conducting clinics at the QEO. – Story Page 18

However, before her tribunal hearing she was suspended for the rest of the season by the Capitals, who said in a statement that they had “not taken the action lightly”. Ardossi was averaging 12.5 points and 8.5 rebounds
