The Weekly look at the local real estate market

Regions the better buy WHILE housing affordability remains a hot topic in Melbourne, new REIV data shows buyers are able to get a foothold on the property ladder in multiple regional towns for less than $250,000.

The REIV’s March figures show the state’s most affordable towns are located in regional Victoria with many areas boasting house prices well below the statewide median of $377,000.

In the year to March, the Latrobe Valley in Gippsland dominated the most affordable list with three towns recording median house prices below $200,000.

In the Bendigo region, Maiden Gully’s median price was $482,500, up 4.3 per cent, while in Junortoun it was $526,250.

Kangaroo Flat’s median was $293,000, in Strathfieldsaye it was $432,500 and in Spring Gully it was $347,500.

North Bendigo saw its median drop more than six per cent to $274,000, Long Gully was up slightly to $235,000 and Kennington was at $340,875.

Moe and nearby Morwell recorded the state’s lowest median house prices at $165,000 and $170,000 respectively.

Despite its affordability, Morwell has experienced double-digit price growth in the past year.

Churchill in south east Victoria was also at the affordable end of the market with a median house price of $186,500 while buyers on a budget may also want to consider Maryborough, where the median house price is $190,500.

Red Cliffs and Stawell were also among the state’s most affordable towns with median house prices of $203,500 and $210,000 respectively.

Both towns recorded capital growth over the year, with house prices in Red Cliffs up 4.4 per cent while Stawell’s median house price rose 14.4 per cent.

Myrtleford, between Wangaratta and Bright, is another affordable option for homebuyers with a median house price of $218,750.

Other towns making the most affordable list include Newborough ($230,000), Kyabram ($232,500) and Horsham ($235,000).

Meanwhile, Mildura had the state’s highest number of sales with more than 575 transactions in the year to March.

This was followed by Traralgon and Warragul with 380 and 291 sales respectively.

High turnover of homes was also recorded in Ocean Grove

HIGH LEVEL WORK: There is a new bridge on Scott Street.

(262 sales), Drouin (252 sales), Ballarat Central (251 sales) and Highton (231 sales).

For more information on median house prices by town or region, visit reiv.com.au Joseph Walton President, REIV WORK is continuing on a new three span bridge over the Bendigo Creek floodway in Scott Street, White Hills.

City of Greater Bendigo engineering and public space manager

Brett Martini said the project was important and would complement both the planned $30.4m upgrade of Napier Street between Hall Street and Weeroona Avenue

by VicRoads and a reconstruction of Goynes Road from Buckland Street to Acacia Park Drive by council.

“The project involves the replacement of the old floodway in Scott Street White Hills with a new three span bridge, construction of a new embankment, roadworks and substantial landscaping,” Mr Martini said.

Housing site causes row Key site for housing plan receives more than 100 objections

By SHARON KEMP

AFTER attracting more than 100 objections, a medium-density housing development in East Bendigo will test the resolve of City of Greater Bendigo councillors on its compact city strategy.

The council has marked the 2.6 hectares of land, bordered by Lansell and Lloyd streets and subject to Lansell Crest development plans, as a key site in its strategy to introduce different and more affordable housing

in Bendigo, constrain urban sprawl and create neighbourhoods.

Councillors voted on Wednesday night to refer the Lansell Crest proposal to build 104 dwellings at the site to an independent panel that will hear the submissions of objectors and the developer.

The members, appointed independently of all parties but paid for

by Lansell Crest developer Birchgrove

Property, will also advise council on the subdivision’s development plans.

For the moment, the panel just has to consider changing an overlay on the site that removes a cap on the number of residences to 65.

Opponent Mal Pethybridge said once the cap is removed, Birchgrove Property managing director Damien Tangey had freedom to build as many residences as he liked.

“We are just ordinary citizens and it is not what you say but how you say it,” Mr Pethybridge said.

On Wednesday night, Cr Andrea Metcalf warned objectors that the panel, which would give them another hearing, was not “an easy road”.

She advised that objectors front the panel with logically presented, well researched presentations.

Mr Tangey said the panel was the “best and most responsible way to have that conversation and to have it heard by an independent party”.

But Mr Tangey said there was a whole range of protections and measures in the planning scheme that applied to him.

He had already submitted the development plans for Lansell Crest, and any changes to those plans would require him to resubmit plans.

Mr Pethybridge said it was likely objectors would not present to the panel even though it was their right.

QUALITY CARE

Traditional burn a true milestone

BENDIGO residents will soon have better access to high quality and compassionate palliative care, closer to home.

Bendigo Health will receive $45,000 as part of the state government’s $5 million equipment fund for palliative care, giving services the tools they need to support people and carers to provide care at home. The funding will be used to provide a new car for staff to make home visits, pain relief drivers for patients and a laptop for the service.

The government said the funding and additional support will ensure more Victorians with terminal illnesses can spend their last days at home with their family, friends and loved ones.

Health minister Jill Hennessy said the second round of the Regional Health Infrastructure Fund would open on Monday and for the first time, be expanded to include publicly funded community palliative care services.

The $200m fund – the largest of its kind in Victorian history – will rebuild rural and regional hospitals to ensure all Victorians can access the high quality care and facilities they need, no matter where they live.

LOVELL ON THE TICKET OLD FLAMES: Ron Kerr, Trent Nelson, Mick Bourke, Rhys Cooper and Karen Paterson.

WHEN Rhys Cooper talks about the time it took to introduce traditional burning as a permanent fire management tool, he is not talking about the three years that went into planning so it would become reality in Victoria.

He is talking about the more than 150 years since white settlement during which local indigenous people had no say in land management.

“This is a long time coming,” said Mr Cooper.

Two burns, in Maryborough and Bendigo, this week marked the first time in Victoria traditional burning has been used as part of overarching planned burn risk reduction procedures.

Importantly, the practices will be repeated every season and a bank of knowledge about an an-

cient process renewed.

The initiative was conceived in central Victoria as an agreement between Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation and Forest Fire Management Victoria, but the intent is to embed traditional burning in the regular risk reduction regime throughout Victoria.

Mr Cooper and colleague Andrew Saunders are Dja Dja Wurrung men and seasoned firefighters, both having worked in fire prevention for years with state government agencies.

Mr Saunders described the pride that is generated within their families for the inclusion of indigenous practices they are leading.

For them, there is also the element of curiosity given the

practice had all but ceased locally, and differs greatly from modern methods.

Traditional burning uses no lighters nor accelerants. Flames come from a single fire, carried into the bush in bowls and fire sticks transfer the fire to fuel on the forest floor.

FFMV district planner Mick Bourke, who is a Dja Dja Wurrung man, described it as a cool, gentle creeping fire that is allowed to take a natural path through the bush. Under suitable conditions, the fire will burn in a circle and will connect with other fires to create a mosaic effect.

Parks Victoria’s Dja Dja Wurrung ranger team leader Trent Nelson said it is a deliberately slow process, allowing Aboriginal people to yarn as they followed

the burn through the bush.

In the way that indigenous time is typically measured in generations rather than mere years, Mr Nelson imagines a future when the landscape is healed using Aboriginal land management techniques, from the upside down land it is now, as he calls it, after more than a century of mining, grazing and degradation.

“It took 170 years to get here, it is probably going to take that again, and double,” Mr Nelson said.

Loddon Mallee region assistant chief fire officer Scott Falconer said he and his department were fundamentally committed to including indigenous practices and as sign of respect for Aboriginal culture and ancient land management knowledge.

NORTHERN Region MP Wendy Lovell has been endorsed for the number one position on the Coalition ticket at next year’s Victorian election.

Ms Lovell has been a member of state parliament for 15 years, since she was first elected to the upper house seat of North Eastern Province in 2002, which became part of the Northern Victoria region following the reform of the upper house in 2006.

CELEBRATION OF ART THE talent of local young artists has been recognised and is being celebrated through the City of Greater Bendigo’s 2017 Raw Arts Awards and Exhibition on display at Dudley House until Sunday May 21.

The Greater Bendigo Raw Arts Awards are an important initiative designed to showcase and foster the talents and artistic pursuits of young people in the region and this year’s awards attracted 89 entries from local young people aged from nine to 25 years of age.

Bats have right to stay sand times since summer, numbers swelling in the aftermath of cyclone Debbie.

“People need to understand, as much as they are an issue, there are processes that we have to deal with,” Cr O’Rourke said.

Presentation and assets director Craig Lloyd said council had changed its cleaning timetable in response to the influx, cleaning footpaths and benches daily.

Mr Lloyd said the council had also appointed a qualified consultant to report on the options

BATS swarming in Rosalind Park are likely to stay until spring and the City of Greater Bendigo faces fines of up to $7 million and imprisonment if it tries to move them on.

Responding to a question at Wednesday night’s council meeting, mayor Margaret O’Rourke said the bats were a protected species.

FIONA Macdonald has a fundraising financial year that ends every year with Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. So seriously does she take raising money for cancer research, Ms Macdonald takes two weeks of annual leave every year to prepare for the morning tea, and to recover from it.

She is preparing to serve 350 people at Bendigo Domain Village next Thursday morning from 10.30am, and from expects it to raise more than $8000.

adds. Ms Macdonald will add the proceeds to the $15,500 she had already collected from making and selling House of Fi-branded jams, chutneys and sauces.

The motivation behind her work is simple and profound.

Her mother Aileen was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died in 2014.

Three months later Ms Macdonald organised her first morning tea and the event has grown from there.

The thousands of dollars she has since raised has estab-

lished the Aileen Macdonald Research Award which helps funds research towards The Forgotten Cancers Project focussing on lesser known cancers.

“After mum died, dad’s sister completed the Relay for Life in mum’s name and I thought, I would like to honour mum as well,” Ms Macdonald said.

It is heartfelt commitment, but her fundraising work is not a solo effort.

Ms Macdonald said her “circle of love” comprised volunteers who labelled the House of Fi jars and cut the

cloth for the lids. She has numerous sources of fresh produce for her preserves.

“There is always a bag of something left at my place,” she said.”

Her preserves sell at a stall at the LQ Market and all proceeds go to the Cancer Council.

Next Thursday, entry is $5 to Ms Macdonald’s morning tea at 336 McIvor Highway, Junortoun, and it is never too late for businesses or individuals to offer their support.

Ms Macdonald can be contacted on 0448 003 743.

A BATTLE has erupted over a dilapidated miner’s cottage on Marong Road that the City of Greater Bendigo wants to save because of its alignment to the road.

The cottage described as “not a quick fixer upper” is deemed significant because it sets askew on the block to Marong Road signifying it was built before council boundaries and road alignment.

Councillors voted to reiterate in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal that it opposed demolishing the cottage at 72 Marong Road.

Twice, the council has knocked back the owner’s proposal to knock down the dwelling because of its heritage significance.

The owner is now appealing to VCAT. Cr Matt Emond argued that the council continue to oppose demolition.

“This building is included within the Victoria Hill Mining and Residential Area precinct of the Eaglehawk and Bendigo Heritage Study, 1993,” he said.

“The precinct is of significance due to its mix of residential and mining related structures.

“The association of the miners’ homes with the mines is an important element.

“The existing dwelling, or a substantial part of it, should be retained in order to maintain as much as possible any examples of miners’ cottages in the precinct.”

Cr Rod Fyffe said councillors’ thinking should be influenced by the suggestion that Victoria Hill was a world heritage offering.

“It is a significant site for Bendigo, for Victoria, and indeed for the world,” he said, adding that the value was embedded in the cottage’s orientation.

But Cr Andrea Metcalf referred to reports by a structural engineer that questioned the integrity of the house and noted the extent of work required to make it habitable.

She also noted that a heritage advisory report had changed its recommendation between two reports.

In 2014, the adviser said the front section of the cottage could be retained and made good.

In 2016, the recommendation changed to support demolition, with the conditions that a new building retain the same orientation.

Sun shines on Classic

CEO Mulder still on full pay From Page 1 His $420,000 annual pay packet means he has been collecting more than $35,000 in wages and benefits per month since he stepped aside, adding up to more than $113,000 while waiting for the investigation results.

The board was expected to share the findings of its investigation after its board meeting on May 2, but said legal advice was delayed.

Board chairman Bob Cameron said at the time that the board hoped to have “advice from our lawyers concerning the employment law investigation being undertaken regarding John Mulder”.

“Unfortunately they have had a delay in obtaining certain information and have informed us that their advice will be delayed,” Mr Cameron said.

“Let me assure you this is a priority and the board will act as soon as we have the advice.”

Every week of delay is costing Bendigo Health, and paying Mr Mulder, more than $8000.

SUNNY SUNDAY: The day brought smiles from those involved.

FOR SICK KIDS

DEFIANT: John Mulder.

UP to 1400 people enjoyed stunning conditions for last weekend’s Mother’s Day Classic event at Bendigo’s Beischer Park.

After a spate of wet weather plagued the popular event in the two previous years, sunny blue skies greeted participants in this year’s classic, which features both a four-kilometre and 8km run as well as a 4km walk through the Strathdale parks precinct.

Winner of the 8km fun run was Luke Crameri in the impressive time of 28 minutes, 8 seconds, ahead of the first female Teleah Hayes at 28 minutes and 22 seconds.

The men’s four-kilometre fun run was won by Matt Buckell in 14 minutes five seconds, while Taryn Furletti won the women’s event with the time of 14 minutes, 35 seconds.

Last year, combined with the generosity of event sponsors, participants and their fundraising supporters gave $3 million to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, taking the total raised since the event began in 1998, to more than $30m.

Funds raised during the Mother’s Day Classic are invested in innovative and promising research that aims to stop deaths from breast cancer by 2030.

Organisers hope to raise as much as $45,000 from this year’s Bendigo event activities, with the official fundraising page remaining open at www.mothersdayclassic.com.au/donate until the end of June.

Stadium still on track

BENDIGO Stadium Limited chief executive Jason Wallace has resigned.

Mr Wallace’s departure comes as the business works to deliver a $22 million-dollar expansion of its West Bendigo arena and upgrade a second property that will provide a new source of income from pokies.

Chairman Brendon Goddard said Mr Wallace had chosen to pursue other opportunities.

His resignation was effective as of May 8.

Mr Goddard said the stadium’s major projects remained on track.

“Jason gave us five-and-a-half

years of valued service and saw the Bendigo Stadium commence on the largest period of growth in history,” Mr Goddard said.

“The stadium is in good hands and we are continuing to provide fantastic dining, enter-

“

as the roof goes on and the walls start to be filled in.”

Construction work is set to be complete by the end of the year.

If the City of Greater Bendigo and gaming regulators give their approval, 44 new pokers machines will be installed in what was once the hotel’s drivethrough bottle shop.

The $2m upgrade will also in-

clude an expansion to the bar and bistro, and improvements to the car park.

“Our planning application for the redevelopment of the Wellington Hotel has been lodged and we are looking forward to bringing better facilities and more support for clubs and organisations in Bendigo’s north,” Mr Goddard said.

And in what has been a busy 12 months, the company signed a support arrangement which moves Bendigo‘s WNBL team, Bendigo Bank Spirit, under its banner, bringing all basketball organisations under one roof.

Mr Goddard said Bendigo Stadium Limited executive manager of hospitality Nathan O’Neill was acting chief executive.

Salvos call for help The Salvation Army needs to mobilise more than 60,000 volunteers across Australia on the weekend of May 27 and 28 to help collect for the annual Red Shield Appeal.

Donations to the Red Shield Appeal ensure The Salvation Army can continue to support thousands of people experiencing crisis every day.

“Our services on the frontline are under increasing pressure and donations to the Red Shield Appeal allow us to continue to meet the changing needs of the community,” Salvos’ Mark Soeters said.

“For many people hard times can simply be one pay cheque away, with many Victorian families doing it tough and relying on The Salvation Army for support.

We are seeing many new people who have not needed our support before,” Major Soeters said.

“Just a few hours of your time can make a real difference for

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, May 19, 2017

Fit for a queen THE Queen Victoria monument is being spruced up and restored.

The monument sits near the intersection of Pall Mall and View Street at the entrance to Rosalind Park in the Queen Victoria Gardens.

The sculpture shows a variety of issues that will be addressed by the conservation work including treatment of micro floral growth and staining, reparation of losses and cracking, and removal of soiling and insect debris.

Bendigo Art Gallery director Karen Quinlan said with the increase of visitors

to Rosalind Park following the successful installations of Forever Marilyn and most recently House of Mirrors it was important to ensure the permanent sculptures were not overlooked.

“Queen Victoria has resided in Rosalind Park for more than 100 years and deserves to be taken care of. The cleaning and conservation work will refresh the sculpture and ensure she is presentable for the next 100 years,” she said.

The work will be undertaken by a specialist conservator and funded by the Bendigo Art Gallery Board.

A coat for a cause Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters has donated the red coat made famous during the 2016 election campaign to launch the 2017 Bendigo Community Coat Drive.

Bendigo Community Health Services chief executive Kim Sykes said the donation was a great start to the 2017 coat drive which looked to surpass last year’s record of 2300 items.

“This is a wonderful gesture by Lisa which we hope inspires the community to look into their cupboards

for coats, jumpers and blankets that are no longer needed,” Ms Sykes said.

“Warm clothing becomes essential as the weather turns bitter but not everyone can just go out and buy a new coat – this is the opportunity for the community to help others in need.

“We collected more than 2300 items last year and these were all distributed through our sites.”

Ms Sykes said BCHS was thankful for the continued support of Pristine Dry

Cleaners.

“Pristine Dry Cleaners cleans every item donated during the coat drive. When you consider the number of items and the time that takes – this is a truly amazing community gesture,” she said.

“Their support is so valuable in making sure these items get to those who need them in good condition.”

Ms Chesters said she was keen to support the coat drive.

“I’m proud to support

this great initiative and donate one of my favourite red coats,” Ms Chesters said.

“Winters in Bendigo are cold and a good coat is really a necessity. The people of Bendigo are generous and I know they will get behind Bendigo Community Health Services to support the coat drive.”

Friday, June 9 is the last day for community donations at Pristine Dry Cleaners, Shop 141/157-161 High Street or Bendigo Central Community Health Services at 171 Hargreaves Street.

Row over rail cash

IT is likely Victorian transport minister Jacinta Allan and federal infrastructure minister Darren Chester will face off in person in Brisbane today.

The pair will both attend a Transport and Infrastructure Ministerial Council meeting in the Queensland capital.

Mr Chester visited Bendigo on Wednesday as part of a postbudget tour of regional New South Wales and Victoria during which he lamented his relationship with his home state government had deteriorated in recent weeks.

“I won’t be meeting with Jacinta Allan today but my expectation is we will have the opportunity to meet later in the week,” Mr Chester said.

“We have had a constructive working relationship.

“I would have to say things

have taken a turn for the worse in the last couple of weeks and we will get it back on track as quick as we can.

“I think once the dust settles after the two budgets we need to start working together constructively on the projects Victorians want to see built.”

In late April, Ms Allan and premier Daniel Andrews released a package of regional rail improvements they said would be funded by money the Commonwealth owed Victoria from the Asset Recycling Initiative following the privatisation of the Port of Melbourne.

The money – $1.45 billion – was not forthcoming in the federal budget and Mr Chester took the opportunity in Bendigo this week to bite back at the tactic, asking Ms Allan to provide more project detail and to stump up some of

WINTER SPECIALS

the state’s money.

“If I have any criticism of the Victorian government in the last couple of weeks, it is that they have claimed $1.4b from the federal government without any plans whatsoever,” he said.

“I have got one letter from Jacinta Allan asking me to spend $1.4b.

“I can’t spend Australian taxpayers’ money on the back of a 300-word letter.”

In unfortunate timing, his visit coincided with the announcement

by Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce that Orange in New South Wales had been selected as the location for the $4b Regional Investment Corporation.

Bendigo had been named as a candidate city for the rural bank under the party’s decentralisation push.

But Victorian Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie this week emphasised the international freight trade potential of the airport which sits within reach of Victoria’s fruit bowl.

“We have just signed a free trade agreement

with South Korea, we have signed free trade agreements with Japan, China and we are trying to develop more, that means there is more opportunity for our manufacturers and local producers,” Ms McKenzie said.

jobs in the future.”

She said the federal government, which provided a third of the $15 million second stage upgrade cost, had yet to receive a formal application for funding for the third stage business park attached to the airport.

But a strategic plan voted on by the council on Wednesday night showed the income from the park would be critical to subsidise the airport’s operation.

“Bendigo Airport does not currently generate adequate income to match its operating expenditure,” plan reports read.

“Long term, Bendigo Airport has objectives to increase and diversify its revenue streams.

“It includes (passenger transport) route development, growth of general aviation activities, freight services, car parking, commercial leases and land agreements.”

Firm underpaid apprentice

A BENDIGO based plumbing business that underpaid an adult apprentice more than $40,000 after paying rates as low as $7.37 per hour will change its workplace practices, after intervention by the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Bendigo Smartplumb Pty Ltd admitted inadvertently underpaying the worker’s ordinary hourly rates and overtime after failing to identify that he was entitled to adult apprentice rates because he was aged 21 or older.

Fair Work Ombudsman inspectors investigated after receiving a re-

quest for help from the employee, aged in his early 20s, last year.

Inspectors found the worker was underpaid $40,106 when he was employed at Bendigo Smartplumb over a period of two years between 2014 and 2016.

The worker was paid hourly rates of between $7.37 and $10.81 for all ordinary hours prior to the last six weeks of his employment.

The worker was usually not paid at all for overtime hours.

However, having started his apprenticeship aged 21 or older, under the Plumbing and Fire Sprin-

Great Stupa sees the light THE Festival of Light will brighten the sky this weekend at the Great Stupa.

Organisers say the festival is a spectacular multicultural celebration of peace and harmony inspired by the Buddha’s life.

Now into its fifth year, the festival is expected to be more colourful and dramatic than ever.

While the day show from 11am to 4pm remains free entry, the organisers have made the night light show from 5.30pm to 7pm a fully-ticketed event with no free entry.

In the past crowds of several thousand have made seating and car-parking very hard to manage safely and this has led to the decision to ticket the night show.

Tickets for the night show are $10 for adults and $5 for children with tickets available at www.stupa.org.au the Great Stupa expect a sell-out crowd of over 2000 and suggest that those wishing to come, book early.

The night show will be a treat of multicultural music and dance performances, fire twirling, Indonesian puppet show, Tibetan chanting, didgeridoo playing, drumming and much more on stage. All this is accompanied by beautiful coloured lights and images projected onto the Great Stupa.

The night ends with a brilliant show of fireworks.

klers Award 2010 he was entitled to minimum rates of between $15.32 and $18.03 for ordinary hours and between $22.98 and $36.06 for overtime hours.

In one week, the worker was underpaid more than $500 in overtime alone after working 58 hours – 20 hours more than the average set under the award – without any overtime pay. The business also failed to pay the worker’s TAFE fees.

Joel Evans and Jayson Wilson operated the business as a partnership until 2015, before establishing it as a corporate entity – Bendigo

Smartplumb Pty Ltd – with them as directors.

The owner-operators of Bendigo Smartplumb told inspectors they had believed only workers aged over 25 were classed as adult apprentices.

Mr Evans and Mr Wilson cooperated with the Fair Work Ombudsman and the men and their company have entered into an Enforceable Undertaking (EU) aimed at encouraging behavioural change and future compliance with federal workplace laws.

Under the EU, they have agreed

to back-pay the worker in-full within 12 months via a back-payment plan, provide a letter of apology to the worker and make a $2000 donation to the Loddon Campaspe Community Legal Centre to assist promotion of workplace law compliance.

The company will also commission a professional audit of its compliance with workplace laws this year and next year and rectify any breaches, register with the Fair Work Ombudsman’s online My Account portal and develop processes for future compliance.

Water the health key COLIBAN Water has teamed up with Strathdale Soccer Club in a campaign aimed at promoting healthy eating and drinking at the club.

Coliban Water general manager corporate strategy and governance, Roslyn Wai, said Strathdale Soccer Club’s focus on health and fitness was a great fit with the Choose Tap campaign.

“Strathdale is providing a culture and environment that promotes healthy eating and drinking to its members and the wider community,” Ms Wai said.

“Choose Tap highlights the benefits of drinking tap water over sugary drinks, which are the largest source of sugars in the Australian diet and associated with poorer health outcomes.

“We are proud to support preschools, schools, community groups and sporting clubs across our region through our Choose Tap campaign and education programs.”

Strathdale Soccer Club is a founding member of the Bendigo Amateur Soccer League and one of the largest soccer clubs in Victoria.

Committee member Stephen Barrett said the club

prides itself in providing a fun, family-oriented environment for men, women, boys and girls to play football.

“With the support of Coliban Water and a community grant from the City of Greater Bendigo we are able to give members of our club their own Choose Tap water bottle,” he said.

“Tap water is the best option for staying hydrated. By making water more accessible, visible and available at the club we can ensure that it is the drink of choice.

“As well as promoting tap water, Strathdale Soccer Club is committed to providing a healthy eating option in our canteen. We would like to thank Coliban Water and the City of Greater Bendigo for their support in this initiative.”

Choose Tap drink bottles available for sporting clubs, charities, schools and community groups to purchase and are a healthier option for organisations to fundraise.

The latest Victorian Population Health Survey results showed that more than 53 per cent of Bendigo residents are considered obese, and more than 10 per cent of residents consume at least one sugary drink each day.

Future in health food

T he Massage Paradise Relax Your Body & Soul

CUSTOMERS say they want healthier foods in the island bins and at the end of aisles, according to the customer survey that accompanied the pilot study of the effects of drawing shoppers’ attention to healthier products.

The pilot study, carried out in three Champions IGA supermarkets in Bendigo last year, also saw the participating stores record increased sales of healthy food during the six week intervention.

Deakin University’s Global Obesity Centre used shelf tags and supermarket signage to point to and rate healthy foods.

IGA chief executive Michael Zervakis said there was no effect on the supermarkets’ profit despite the change in consumer choices.

“I think we need to educate our customers that eating healthy isn’t expensive, and that is the biggest thing that has come out of this,” Mr Zervakis said.

“If it is the same effect, it doesn’t really matter (about the financial impact), we just want to promote better healthier choices.”

Deakin lead researcher Adrian Cameron believes supermarkets have a lot to gain by including signs and healthy rating information, because customers said healthier displays in supermarkets encouraged them to buy healthier products.

“Supermarkets are in the business of selling food, they don’t worry if it is healthy food or unhealthy food,” Dr Cameron said.

“We decided early that all families would contribute, and to ease the financial load, the choir would endeavour to raise a minimum of $45,000 from the community and businesses in the region,” she said.

“We know this is a significant cost to the families who have found it within themselves to support their children to pursue this dream – particularly those with more than one child in the choir.

It will be a life changing experience for all of them.”

Fair a celebration for Dr Harry Little THE Dr Harry Little Preschool’s annual fair is celebrating a milestone.

The school is marking the 40th anniversary of the fair at an event to be held on Sunday, May 28.

Dr Harry Little Preschool is a not-for-profit and independently-run organisation, and it does not receive local government funding.

Parent Olga Davenport said the annual fair is a crucial fundraising event for the kindergarten.

“This year the fair is aiming to raise funds for new playground soft fall surfaces and safely accommodate the kindergarten children in outdoor play,” she said.

“Also, the raised funds will be going to the construction of sensory garden for children with specific needs, such as developmental delays, visual and sensory impairments, and autism spectrum disorders to make play fun, safe and inclusive.

“Sunday’s event involves lots of great prizes and exciting activities for kids, including a jumping castle, mobile play zone, face painting, rock star hair studio, buried treasure, craft

and lucky boxes and many, many more.”

Ms Davenport said it will be a fun day for parents too, as everyone will have an opportunity to win items at a silent auction for goods and vouchers generously given by local Bendigo and Melbourne businesses.

“The fair’s food court menu features a delicious selection of homemade cakes, cupcakes and biscuits, hot barbecue and pizza, mini hotdogs, slushies and fairy floss, ice cream, and barista-made coffee,” she said.

Parent and fair coordinator Claire Everton said they have been working very hard to make the 40th Annual Fair the biggest event the kindergarten has ever seen.

“We have been truly touched by the generosity of the Bendigo community and local businesses,” she said.

Entry is free and everybody is welcome.

Tickets for stalls can be bought at the gate.

The event runs from 11am to 2pm at the kindergarten premises at 243A View Street, Bendigo.

Awards launched to aid sustainability New research by Sustainability Victoria shows that more than 90 per cent of Victorians want environmental projects to tackle climate change.

Sustainability Victoria’s Stan Krpan said the premier’s Sustainability Awards provided a channel for just that.

“One of the great ways that sustainable Victorians can demonstrate their commitment is by entering the annual Premier’s Sustainability Awards,” he said.

“With 10 categories in this year’s program, there’s an opportunity for a range of organisations to celebrate their sustainability leadership with the wider Victorian community.”

Previous finalists and winners say that their involvement in the awards has led to improved staff morale, acknowledged green credentials with their customers and stronger relationships in their communities.

In 2016, the education category winner was Winters Flat Primary School in Castlemaine.

The school then went on to win the overall award of the night, the Premier’s Recognition Award.

Winters Flat teacher, Jeanette McMahon, said that she and her team absolutely loved attending the awards event last year.

“The night was so exciting and we met so many inspirational people,” she said.

“To win the award was the icing on the cake and the attention we got afterwards made us all very proud.”

THE North Central Catchment Management Authority has worked with Goulburn Murray Water to save almost 40,000 megalitres of water being sent down the Campaspe River as planned environmental flows in the past three years.

North Central CMA environmental water manager Louissa Rogers said the organisation understands the importance of waterways to the community, both downstream of Lake Eppalock and around the reservoir itself.

“Where we can, we work with other government agencies and community groups to ensure our flows benefit more than just the river,” she said.

“Our planned flows over the peak recreation period coincided with planned irrigation flows, so we worked with GMW to ensure the flow rates and the timing of the flows would benefit the fish, plants and platypus, and recreational users.

“Opportunities like this irrigation flow won’t happen all the time, but it’s important to make it a priority when we can.”

Goulburn Murray Water managing director Pat Lennon said the water corporation and

in the flo w : A Murray Cod in the Campaspe River.

CMA had worked together to provide benefits for GMW customers, the environment and our communities.

Ms Rogers said the flows were building resilience back into a river decimated by the millennium drought and a century of regulation.

“Healthy river flows are not just about adding water.

They are about adding the right amount of water, at the right time in the right place,” she said.

“The river is looking magnificent and native fish numbers are increasing, and our management regime is pro-

ducing results.”

Regular autumn low flows of up to 50ML a day have been introduced in recent weeks, and will continue to the end of May and help ensure water quality doesn’t drop and help connect the separated pools that are expected to form in the coming months.

“We are monitoring targeted pools near Echuca for water quality to give us an indication of how much water we will need,” Ms Rogers said.

“If water quality stays high, we won’t need to put as much water down. It will be a matter of watching and seeing.”

History made Work has now begun on the RSL Soldiers Memorial Institute revitalisation project.

The $4.5 million project includes the conservation of the iconic building and the development of a new wing to house an exhibition space.

The exhibition space will be located at ground floor level and have climate control features, with storage and preparation areas located within the upper level.

The exhibition space will be capable of hosting touring exhibitions from the War Memorial in Canberra.

Restoration works will include a total roof replace-

ment, new sky lights, external render repairs and a new exterior wash coat to replicate the original stone coloured finish.

Other works include restumping and installation of new flooring in the Billiard Room, as well as ceiling and plaster repairs and painting.

City of Greater Bendigo deputy mayor Rod Fyffe said it was fantastic to see work begin on the project.

“The Soldiers Memorial Institute is one of central Bendigo’s most prominent buildings,” Cr Fyffe said.

“This project will bring the building into the 21st century but also continue to hon-

our the memories of those who died in war.”

Bendigo District RSL president Cliff Richards said the project would allow the Bendigo arts precinct to continue to expand.

“When the restoration and construction work is complete, the Soldiers Memorial Institute will be a fitting place to exhibit significant military and community exhibitions from across Australia, as well as continuing to honour local service men and women,” Mr Richards said.

“It is very exciting to see work begin on this important project.”

Cyclists’ guide to car toots

Share the repair WHAT do you do with a broken toaster? Or with a bike when the wheels get out of line? Or with a sweater full of moth holes?

Toss it? No way.

A group of locals have organised the first Repair Café in Bendigo on Saturday at the Good Loaf Cafe from 10am until 2pm.

Various volunteer repair experts will be available to help make all possible repairs free of charge.

Tools and materials will also be on hand.

People visiting the Repair Café will be able to take along their broken items from home.

Toasters, lamps, hair dryers, clothes, bikes, toys, crockery... anything that is broken is welcome.

The Repair Café specialists love fixing things.

A number of experienced home fixers have already volunteered in Bendigo.

The group also wants to encourage retired experts to get involved and share their skills.

They are particularly interested in people with electrical skills so get in touch if you know a retired electrician looking to get involved with this initiative.

FIXED: Elsie L’Huillier and Peter Morison. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN the group wants to help reduce mountains of waste.

This is absolutely necessary, according to one of the coordinators Elsie L’Huillier.

“We throw away piles of stuff in Bendigo. Even things that have hardly anything wrong with them and could easily be used

again after a simple repair,” she said.

“Unfortunately, many people have forgotten that they can have things repaired. Repair Café wants to change all that.

“Repair Café just wants to show how much fun repairing things can be, and how easy it often is.”

OFTEN a group of cyclists is rolling down the road and a vehicle approaches from behind.

The driver is kind enough to give notice that they are intending to pass – or just let us know they are present – by sounding their horn.

As cyclists we should be trying our best to share the road responsibly, and the horn tooting quite often reflects how well we are doing.

Many years of hearing horns tooted from behind contribute to an ability to interpret the feelings of the driver and their intent toward the cycling group by the sound of their tooting.

Here’s a guide to the variations in horn tooting and their meanings.

There is the friendly or concerned toot that is short and sharp: hello I am glad to see you on the road, enjoy the ride.

There is the similar toot that might be repeated: take care, keep your line, I will be passing by you and want to keep you all safe.

Most cyclists will respond to those with a friendly wave.

Sometimes the nature of the road means driver simply doesn’t see the peleton until they are right on the back of the riders.

The driver may well get a fright and in that split second share their fears and frustra-

bendigo

GOOD MANNERS: A tidy peleton keeps things friendly. tions with a slightly longer toot; not yet a blast of the horn just a bit more sense of urgency: I did not expect to see you just now.

These also remind us as riders to keep our use of the shared road real estate to a minimum.

We then get into the kinds of horn tooting through which we can sense frustration and even, at times, anger.

The horn is not tooted once or twice but can be multiple short sharp blasts: hurry up, make way, you’re slowing me down and time is of the essence.

Interestingly we may only be talking seconds of time delay but it’s enough for the message to have a sense of insistency and priority.

Then there is the less than friendly horn blast, continuous, long and hard, and as close to the riders as possible.

This leaves most riders with a sense of: what was that about?

Sometimes we think it is just sport.

Sometimes we get a distinct feeling that it is a prejudice towards cyclists who, in the thinking of the blasting perpetrator, should not be on the road.

Thank you to the many horn sharing drivers – it’s helpful to know you’re there and you all play a part in our cycling experience.

Looking forward to seeing you on the road soon God willing.

The McClure memorial I write regarding a letter to the editor from Helen Leach, who was enquiring about the development of a memorial to the late Daryl McClure.

In October last year the previous council provided in principal support to establish a memorial to honour Mr McClure and to finalise a location for a memorial in accordance with the Rosalind Park Master Plan. This work was also to be subject to agreement from the McClure family.

Mr McClure was a member of State Parliament for the seat of Bendigo from 1973-1982. He was also a Bendigo City councillor from 1969-1970 and 1993-1994, a Greater Bendigo Councillor from 19962004 and served a term as mayor from 1999-2000. He passed away in May 2015.

Mrs Leach and I have corresponded confirming the memorial is progressing and the organisation will consult with the McClure family.

Cr Margaret O’Rourke, Mayor, City of Greater Bendigo

Out of touch I needed a day or two to calm down before writing this. This bank tax shows without a doubt that politicians are completely, absolutely unequivocally out of touch with the real world.

To actually come out and say that banks should absorb this tax proves my point. I also understand their philosophy behind this tax and that makes it even worse, because Morrison and Turnbull are openly saying (by their actions) that Australians are stupid.

I am appalled, disgusted and outraged they think I am stupid.

Until Turnbull and Morrison are gone I will no longer vote Liberal (I will never vote Labor, I consider them worse).

Oh, how I miss the Howard/ Costello era, look how far we have fallen, I truly fear for the future of my children in this once great country.

Peter Lesuey, Kennington

Rego for bikes A report aired on Friday, May 12 on the ABC supported two sensible and about time changes, bike registration along with proving a basic knowledge of our road rules.

The point was made that this already happens in a number of countries and as we already operate a user pay system with road tolls

and petrol tax why not bikes as well?

With bike-related accidents causing serious injury and deaths on the rise it is high time we stopped subsidising others’ lifestyle choices.

There are thousands of kilometres of dedicated bike lanes that we all pay for but most will never use and bicycle paths and tracks.

Our local council has spent millions of ratepayers’ money on the O’Keeffe trail that barely gets used and yet cannot provide one piece of creditable evidence to its use or actual numbers.

Bike registration makes sense and could easily be done at the point of purchase, bike stores or online along with a simply basic road rules test.

As parents, when our children are ready to ride on the road we surely want them to be safe and understand basic road rules.

Registration would aid in the recovery of stolen bikes and part time riders are no different from part time drivers who are still required to pay a full registration.

There have been many who have argued against such a move and I would question their motives, do they really expect the majority to keep subsidising their life style choices?

When you are on a push bike under the law you are in charge of a vehicle and what is expected of the driver of a motor vehicle should also apply to a bike rider using our roads.

Stuart Symes, Epsom

Put back the tracks I would like to echo the same comments and congratulate Andrew McLean on a well written and resourced letter in Bendigo Weekly, May 12, about putting back the double tracks.

If the government and transport minister Jacinta Allan won’t accept that their decision to remove the double tracks in the first place was the cause of the transport problems and to make the statement it’s not a priority, just shows how arrogant and out of touch with the community they are.

Especially when you read and hear the number of the complaints raised against the problems surrounding the Bendigo line by the public.

Candidates want to talk to you and ask what your concerns are and say if elected they will look into the situation and fix it when in government.

But once elected they forget about the people they are there to

represent and do their own thing, rarely giving a thought to the people they are supposedly representing.

Once again I make the point that politicians from all persuasions lack the knowledge and skills and spend squillions of dollars on consultants, advisors and bureaucrats, for no benefit to the community they could get better advice and better outcomes from the people they represent at no cost, but then it’s not their money they are spending is it?

Another solution to carry more passengers would be to build double decker carriages, with the equipment that is around today to overcome the bridges and tunnels along the line this would just need lowering the tracks at those points, and you wouldn’t need to add any more services.

Start communicating with the community, a lot of us have worked in industries and various other places of employment had have gained a lot of knowledge and experience, far more than any politician today.

It’s about time you all took your jobs seriously and deliver better decisions and outcomes for the community.

working, they took some of the Opposition’s ideas, but that has still not translated into any bounce from their big spending, and big taxing budget.

A poll taken by Sky News shows Labor 53 per cent – Coalition 47 per cent , with 51.6 per cent indicating they will be worse off, and only 10.8 per cent saying they would be better off – 48.2 per cent support the Medicare levy rise.

Where does this leave rusted-on LNP voters who have fought tooth and nail attacking the decisions just made? Up the well known creek.

Both major parties are down, Coalition on 30.6 per cent, Labor on 30.5 per cent, One Nation at 9.8 per cent, and the National party on just 3.4 per cent, indicating that the Greens and others have a combined 25.7 per cent of the remaining vote, just less than the major parties.

Who said you cannot tax your way to prosperity, you just lose all credibility, which is a warning to any other incoming administration.

There are billions and billions of government rebates that could get a haircut, but they are only interested in giving the usual victims a short, back, and sides.

As far as the bank tax is concerned these institutions have two levers at their disposal. When the $64.5 billion business package becomes a reality, and their tax cut share increases from $7b to $8.05b, they can either pass the whole amount on to the customer or offset it by the tax deduction.

everybody knows what the chosen decision will be. So in fact ordinary people are at risk of being hit with two tax increases, one with the Medicare levy rise, and the other by the big banks.

Neither of these should have even been necessary. It is interesting to note the Medicare rebate tax comes into play in 2019, two years before the budget is supposed to come back to surplus.

Is this another smoke and mirrors trick to make that happen at any cost? A long way away, and plenty of time to cook up another reason why it is necessary.

It has been said that this budget leaves Tony Abbott’s legacy in smoking ruins. It leaves both of their legacies in smoking ruins.

All of these government members have fought tooth and nail to ram the “zombie” policies through the senate, but have now thrown their arms in the air.

How can these individuals ever be trusted again? Sorry Malcolm you’re done and dusted. You cannot do a deal to get the job, defend policies you do not agree with, then when this fails, change your mind and become the real Malcolm when you choose to.

You are obviously not a reader of recent history, and not everything with a long memory resides in a zoo.

May pay to remember that next time – if there is a next time.

Options for housing

ONE of the City of Greater Bendigo’s Residential Housing Strategy’s key planks faces a litmus test after councillors this week voted to send an amendment to the city’s Planning Scheme to an independent panel.

Plans for a medium-density housing development on a vacant East Bendigo site have drawn a strong response from the community, and the 101 objections received to the proposal would rank as one of the highest instances to a planning mater in recent times It must also be said, however, that the fact 69 submissions against the proposal were of the same formatting and wording cannot be discounted either.

Medium-density housing is something this city can only avoid if it accepts the alternative option of a significant increase in development on our urban fringes, and the associated costs of extending infrastructure and services that much further.

Given that we are celebrated as a city in a forest, there are some exist-

Editorial Comment ing limitations to all this, and no one wants to see the increasingly fragile environment further compromised by additional development on the city’s outskirts that could otherwise be mitigated by infill housing.

No one expected that the Lansell Crest development would be literally, a walk in the park, but it is a key plank in the city’s strategy.

Importantly, that strategy that has been developed over a long period of time and has won wide praise from key planning industry figures.

A coordinated campaign in opposition to the proposal to establish 104 lots on land at 39-51 Lansell Street in East Bendigo highlights just how confronting the project is, but medium-density housing on a scale such as this was always going to be.

While the independent panel

process will add another layer of bureaucracy and cost to this project, it’s also part of the democratic process.

It is also necessary to consider and test the concerns of residents, and to scrutinise the developer’s plans and their accordance with the relevant council strategies.

It’s also worth noting Bendigo already has an accepted level of medium-density housing, and while it might not be everyone’s idea of home, medium-density living does have its place, and the City of Greater Bendigo has been advocating for further examples of medium-density living to be established for some time.

One only has to look at the scattering of retirement housing across the city, as well as plans for the grounds of Villa Fortuna and the former Via Furniture site off Mundy Street to see that other alternatives to the medium-density housing concept are alive and well in this city, and have their entrenched place in the diverse makeup of housing on offer.

opinion

By PAUL DESMOND Director of Catholic Education Sandhurst

IT is with genuine concern that I write regarding some recent reporting in the media on the topic of the recently announced new funding arrangements for schools.

Some of the reporting has been biased and very divisive.

At the heart of the media reports has been evidence provided to the public via the Australian government’s school funding estimator.

This online resource has been a shambles for the government since its release.

The government has provided all schools with an estimate of their school funding in 2017, yet the very day the estimator went live we understand schools were being contacted by the government to tell them that their estimates are wrong.

The Catholic Education Commission of Victoria’s analysis of the

government’s own data would suggest that it has assumed that its proposed funding parameters from the Quality Schools package would currently apply.

However, 2017 funding for schools should be calculated based on the existing funding model.

The funding arrangements in Quality Schools,

are expecting varies significantly.

The CECV believes Catholic schools in Victoria would lose a total of $16 million in 2017 if the proposed model applied.

This confirms the CECVs suspicions that the Commonwealth Government plans to cut funding to the Catholic sector.

Almost 34 per cent of Australian students are enrolled in non-government schools if they become law, will only begin to apply from next year.

As the estimates of 2017 funding are wrong, the Australian Government is acknowledging that it has inadvertently misled schools, and the Australian public, on the funding increases schools might expect under the new school funding model from 2017 to 2018.

The differences between those dollar amounts quoted on the funding calculator website and the funding schools

At this point in time the final implications of the Australian government’s plans are unclear.

It has been our hope that media reporting on the matter would be done with clarity and transparency and the provision of comprehensive information so that properly informed debate can take place.

Sadly, in several instances, this has not been the case. Inaccuracies and selective examples have been evident.

Several newspaper ar-

ticles have only reported on Australian government funding of local schools, the contribution of the respective state governments to these schools was totally overlooked.

A quick study of the MySchool website (www. myschool.edu.au) paints a completely different picture.

In the same articles, no mention is made of the fact that three new Enterprise Bargaining Agreements covering the salaries of schools will be negotiated in the 10-year period of Minister Birmingham’s plan.

Each will require funds to cover the increased costs of running schools.

Whether you agree with non-government schooling or not, the simple, unavoidable fact is that almost 34 per cent of Australian students are enrolled in non-government schools.

Across Victoria, close to one quarter of all students attend Catholic schools – hence our concern.

Weighing in for the ewes

Upcoming events Poeticas: The next session of Poeticas will be Saturday, May 27 and will feature BN Oakman and Geoff Page.

Moving the barley was a tough job, but somebody had to do it

I

HAD a superhero moment this month, and I would like to share.

It’s the time of year when we have to think about supplementary feeding our pregnant ewes.

Lambs are due at the end of June, and the ewes need the extra tucker.

Last year we headed up to Durham Ox for bloody great bags of barley, weighing in at a tonne, and while we will return there soon, we had to stop gap with some supplies from nearby, well Maldon anyway.

The long-suffering Mrs Kendall decided we needed tonnes of various feed and called me out from work one Friday for a trip with the beaut ute and trailer.

When we got to the farm there was a stack of bags, 50 in all and they looked solid enough, but how heavy could oats and barley be?

Turns out they weighed 40 kilograms each, and they had to be loaded on the ute and trailer.

The farmer helped me with the first 25, but then had to stitch the rest of the bags so I was gamely tasked with lifting them onto the ute.

Let me tell you, 40kg is a bit beyond an easy lift, but I had no choice, Mrs K could not move them, and sharing is no good as if one person lets go you get the whole weight in one lump.

I learned this while moving some furniture at work. One person, now called Custard Arms, let go of a heavy frame while we were on a staircase and my back has not been the same since.

Anyway, I loaded the rest of the truck with some muttering and cursing, sweating and straining.

The drive home was fun too, two

tonne up makes for a careful braking plan. It was about half way home when I realised I had to unload them too, and this time solo.

My mind raced into overdrive planning the excuses, but it was no good, I would have to do it.

I could leave the bags on the trailer and park it in the shed, but the ute had to be emptied.

They were going to live in a shipping container so I parked up and started loading.

About 10 bags in, my back and shoulders started complaining, I don’t know how you fit blokes manage, but

STRAIGHT SINGING: Hetty Kate.

40kg was a bit much for me. Luckily I had formed a sort of mattress with the first 10 bags and was able to rest for a while.

With a determined effort I stacked the last 15 and breathed, no panted, a sigh of relief.

Within an hour I could feel muscles I didn’t know I had growing into super size.

Imagined surely, but I had moved a tonne or so of grain, and could have scaled tall buildings, but first, a nap.

Great American songbook J

AZZ vocalist Hetty Kate is coming to Castlemaine next month.

She will be celebrating the Great American Songbook at the Old Castlemaine Gaol.

The concert will be an aperitif to the Castlemaine Jazz Festival, full to the brim with some of the best musicians in the state.

Known for a swinging, straightahead style and natural musicality, Hetty Kate is often lauded for what she “doesn’t do” as a jazz singer.

Her approach keeps true to the melody and lyric, and uses

The party man returns A

USSIE music icon Mick Thomas hits Bendigo’s Capital Theatre this coming Sunday, May 21.

The former Weddings Parties Anything front man is in town with his band The Roving Commission on one leg of a lengthy nationwide tour.

It’s a tour with a difference though.

Thomas will be playing tracks from the recent These Are The Songs release – a two decade, solo career-spanning retrospective.

The 23-track album is accompanied by Thomas’s book, These Are The Days, featuring stories from the road, and the background to 31 of his songs.

At various venues on the tour, Thomas will also discuss his new book.

“The book isn’t really autobiographical,” Thomas told the Bendigo Weekly.

“It’s about the songs. Where they came from. I grew up listening to Bob Dylan and The Kinks and others. I wanted to write songs about where I

came from, about my life.”

It’s about how the songs got written and why they got written. And why Thomas still plays them.

Thomas recently played three consecutive days at the Port Fairy Folk Festival.

“I didn’t really do festivals in the past. Weddings really ran their own show and tours,” he said “It’s good to do them now though, and mix with some other musicians.”

There is something quite singular about Thomas’s work; a unique Australian voice at work.

He’s been a regular visitor to Bendigo over the years, playing most recently last year at Ulumbarra over Bendigo Writers Festival weekend, where he also spoke.

Originally from Yallourn in Gippsland, Thomas is concerned about the future viability of artists touring regional centres.

“I come from regional Victoria. Not

many towns have really dedicated rock venues, like in say Canada. The pokies have taken over too many places.” He says ruefully.

“Tours are much shorter than 20 years ago.”

Thomas is the archetypal 21st century creative ‘portfolio man’, with writing and theatre, as well as music, featuring in his ongoing plans.

“After this tour, I’m planning some theatre stuff for early next year,” he said.

That’s not all though. He will be going back into the studio. “2013 was the last album of new material so I’m going to get on to that as well.

Write some more, do some recording.

There’ll be a new album out sometime in 2018.”

Mick Thomas and The Roving Commission play the at the Capital Theatre on Sunday, May, 21. The show starts at 8pm. Tickets available from the Capital and GoTix.

PEAKING of Aussie icons, the Cosmic Psychos make a welcome return to a central Victorian stage tonight, Friday, May, 19, for a longsince sold-out show at Castlemaine’s Theatre Royal.

Two years on from the filthy irreverence of their Cum The Raw Prawn album (free beer mat included), the grizzled punk rock sludge grunge trio are back to upset delicate sensibilities and entertain in equal measure.

Word has it they’re working on a

new album – with a late 2017 release in the pipeline.

Cosmic Psychos are now into their 36th year. It’s been an eventful ride, to put it mildly. (Check-out the fulllength 2013 bio-doc Cosmic Psychos: Blokes You Can Trust.) Their influence, particularly on the grunge scene that developed in Seattle in the late 1980s, is immense. Doors at 8pm. Support from Tyrannamen, and Amyl and the Sniffers.

T was three years in the making but the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s Virtual show is a masterpiece.

The musicians spent a day at Fox Studios, but they were not making a movie, they were meticulously recording and filming their parts in the orchestra to be brought together for the show.

The Engine Room in View Street has been set up as a multi-screen, multispeaker performance centre for the show, and it’s certainly impressive.

ACO Virtual’s Phillppa Martin said the idea was to create a version of the

orchestra for people to experience the orchestra without having to attend a concert.

“We filmed the musicians in 2010, and there followed three years of programming to get it right,” she said.

“The is a show where you can be in the centre of the room and control what you see and hear via an iPad. “You can select which musicians you’d like to hear, and put them in the spotlight, or you can listen to the whole concert.”

Ms Martin said while the show is for anyone to enjoy, it certainly has an

educational focus.

“We have musicians come along to play a part in the orchestra, all they have to do is fade out a musician and step in. We can also add the score to the screen to help them along,” she said.

“You can also isolate one musician, so people can see and hear the part they play without the others being involved.

“It’s really very versatile, you can even just come along and watch the full orchestra in concert mode.”

ONG-time residents say that “incomers” moving to Sanday, one of the outermost of the scattered Orkney islands off the north-east corner of Scotland, are generally running away from something. Mike Jones is no exception – so when traces of a human skeleton are unearthed from the soon-tobe vegetable garden behind his partially renovated Sanday house, he finds the police attention it generates rather unnerving.

The discovery is the second mysterious happening at the former school building; in its attic Jones has already found 13 magic flowers’ crafted from deceased children’s clothing.

Orkney detective Erling Flett is one of the first professionals called to the scene, followed shortly thereafter by two forensic experts, Dr Rhona MacLeod and her assistant, and a special investigator, Michael McNab, from big-city Glasgow, a full day’s travelling over land and sea to the south. There, the trio have been looking into the death of an elderly man in his own apartment – a death that now seems to have been much

more suspicious than they had at first assumed.

MacLeod has an island connection herself, but not to Orkney; rather, her childhood was spent on the Isle of Skye on the opposite side of Scotland.

As work on the two cases escalates, the team begins to see similarities. Could these apparent homicides – hundreds of kilometres apart and separated by at least half a century in time – actually be linked?

Anderson’s fictitious storyline is accompanied by intimate descriptions of the reallife places and events that make Orkney a unique archipelago of Neolithic structures and World War II relics surrounded by the bitter North Sea between Britain and the islands’ former ruler, Norway: a tiny outpost of proud Viking heritage where Norse names are common and islanders consider themselves to be Orcadians first and foremost rather than Scots or Brits.

There is a great challenge in finding out details of gardens which were cultivated by the ordinary members of society in the period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

On this occasion I would like to take a glimpse at the garden that was created by a householder at Spring Gully.

Spring Gully, as I recall from my youth had quite a number of tiny cottages and huts, many of them were scattered through the bush.

Some of these residences were built out of surface stone, others were weatherboard, a number were constructed from scrounged materials and there were the solid looking places where mud bricks had been used.

The mud brick cottages that I recollect consisted mostly of one room with a chimney.

The mud brick cottage with the garden which is the focus of attention for this article was a two roomed one, it having a chimney constructed from fired bricks.

This compact residence was occupied by the Cook family, and was located just off Spring Gully Road near the corner of Burns Street.

Alfred Cook was the breadwinner, he was listed as being a blacksmith, his father had migrated to the colony of Victoria in 1858.

In March 1873 Alfred married Eliza C Moss at St Paul’s Bendigo.

Alfred was also recorded as a miner, the most common occupation in Bendigo at the turn of the century.

Theirs was a simple but very utilitarian garden out of necessity, it helped to provide food for the family.

A careful analysis of the accompanying photograph reveals that there were two different plants in the

garden for aesthetic reasons, close to the house on the left.

One was a geranium, a hardy herbaceous plant that flowers abundantly twice a year and appreciates the drier soils found in our area.

The geranium originates from the eastern Mediterranean region of Greece, Turkey, Syria and Lebanon.

Secondly there is the wall flower or erysimum which is another perennial plant that flowers during spring and into the summer, it originates from South West Asia and various species came from other parts of the world.

Protein for the Cook family came from the mass planting in a patch seen on the left, of green beans. Next to the path can be seen peas and three rows of potatoes.

Ancient South Americans have cultivated these tubers for about 10,000 years. These plants were brought to Europe by the Spaniards about the year 1570.

From Europe the potato was taken by ship to many other parts of the world. The potato came into common cultivation about the time that Australia was being colonised.

On the far right of Cook’s garden are some bush tomatoes, another plant that came from South America.

Aztecs started to cultivate the tomato about 1300 years ago it being indigenous to that part of the world. When brought to Europe it first became a food for the poor in the warmer parts of the continent.

The Italians adopted this fruit or vegetable in their cooking and this helped to popularise its use throughout the world.

Italian migrants to the USA helped to put the tomato onto the North American menu, ketchup became the necessary go-with food and has become a necessity here as well. As far as is known the first tomatoes were grown in the Bendigo area as early as 1854.

Let them eat cake

T

Looking good

HERE is a great new hair and beauty salon opened in town that has rapidly built up a popular client base.

Owner Samantha Tointon and her stylist Bernadette McDonald have been running 2 Doors Down for just over a year now and have had an overwhelming response of new clientele.

Their expertise is reflected in the fact that Sam has been a beautician for 24 years with her own salon in Western Australia and local girl Bernie is welcoming past clients to the new salon.

Sam said the broad range of services they offer customers includes hair colour, foils, re-styles, trims, waxing, tinting, gel nails and nail art. They use the Kuene hair product range.

But along with the professional service Sam and Bernie offer a warm and friendly

environment where you can enjoy a chat and a cup of tea with cake or biscuits.

“Everyone of our clients we can call a friend,” Sam said.

And there’s also the star of the show Lucy, the sweet toy poodle that comes to work most days with Sam. Sam says Lucy loves to greet the ladies and gents and always finds herself sitting on someone’s lap or being passed around for a cuddle.

Besides expertise and warmth 2 Doors Down is in a great position near Coles with two hour free parking. They often have special deals and offer loyalty points.

You’ll enjoy every moment at 2 Doors Down at 326 Lyttleton Terrace, phone 5441 8910 or email twodoorsdown@outlook.com.au

HELP THE ENVIRONMENT: Say no to plastic bags. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Remember your green bags T

HE Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Group is encouraging residents to remember to grab your green bags when you go shopping in an effort to reduce the use of plastic shopping bags.

Across the region there are numerous plastic bag free towns and many traders which have operated without the use of plastic bags for a while – some for more than 10 years.

Towns and traders that have embraced the reduction concept, are doing their bit for the environment.

It is possible to live without plastic shopping bags as demonstrated by more than 30 plastic shopping bag free towns within the Loddon Mallee region.

Australians still use an estimated four to six billion plastic bags each year, that’s 10 million bags every day.

While Australians have reduced their usage, far too many plastic bags are still ending up at landfill or as litter along road and waterways.

Plastic shopping bags can take between 20 and 1000 years to break down. They can escape easily from landfill and other recycling areas too, as they float readily on air and water.

In rural areas, livestock and wildlife have died after eating plastic bags, which can also block drains and contribute to flood damage.

The Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Group urges shoppers to use reusable bags, and refuse a plastic bag when you only have a few items.

For more information on reducing your use of plastic shopping bags go to www.lmwrrg.vic.gov.au

Calling all couples

OIN Maggie O’Shea between June 12 and 17 for a unique couple experience in Fiji.

Start the day with optional mindfulness sessions or just enjoy the morning workshop sessions, leaving the remainder of the day to snorkel or relax around the pool with your partner, or join excursions to waterfalls and other places of interest.

The format is based on the renowned Emotionally Focused Therapy approach developed by Dr Sue Johnson, author of Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a lifetime of Love.

“It promises to be enjoyable and helpful for all couples, regardless of whether your relationship is struggling or in great shape, Maggie said.

“A big bonus is that, unlike Nine Network’s The Last Resort, in this format, couples have their privacy and can work through the exercises, without having to

share anything personal within the larger group.

“EFT is also one of only two couple approaches that have been proven to actually work.”

Maggie has a masters in Relationship Counselling and a thriving part-time private practice for couples based in Castlemaine.

Since 2010, she has also been teaching the evidence-based eight-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program in Bendigo, Castlemaine and Hawthorn, and will soon be offering an eight-week Mindful Self Compassion course in Bendigo.

Maggie’s co-facilitator for Fiji is Linda Murrow, formerly head of training for Couple Counselling at Relationships Australia Victoria in Kew. For further details, go to www.mindfulpresence.com.au

Caring : S taff from Bendigo Osteopathic Clinic.

EXPERIENCED: The therapists from Bendigo Myotherapy.

Alternative therapies Knowing which health professional to see for your injury can get confusing.

If you begin experiencing pain that can be relieved by applying heat, then muscular dysfunction can be the cause, says Bendigo Myotherapy’s Rebecca Seitz.

Myotherapy is the assessment, treatment and management of soft tissue injury and dysfunction.

The soft tissues of the body include muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia.

“The skeletal muscular system accounts for almost 50 per cent of the body’s weight, so if your muscles are unable to function at their best, neither are you,” Rebecca said, while explaining myotherapy can also provide benefits to the nervous, circulatory and skeletal systems.

Bendigo Myotherapy in Kennington has established an outstanding reputation working closely, with local GPs and allied

health professionals, helping ensure the management of various conditions while assisting with accelerated recovery.

“Don’t put up with tension, stiffness and pain...”

“Pain is often the last symptom of muscle dysfunction and can build up well before clients come to see us,” Rebecca said.

“Don’t put up with tension, stiffness and pain, make an appointment now, to start your road to recovery.”

City Chir opra cti c Care : Dedicated to your wellbeing. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Chiropractic care The team at City Chiropractic Care, pride themselves on doing their best for the many families who trust them with their health.

With two chiropractors; Hamish Davidson and Bec Leddin on staff, they practice a range of techniques to cater for a diverse range of clients on an individual level.

“Many people come in regularly for maintenance, but we are also happy to see people with specific needs,” Dr Davidson said.

“We see people of all ages, from newborns to centenarians. We see office workers, manual labourers, sports people, expecting mums, you name it.”

With winter around the corner, they always expect an influx of cough induced injuries, as well as the usual firewood collecting and skiing injuries, along with many people who are simply feeling a bit flatter than usual.

“Many of our clients look to chiropractic as a means to help assist their body’s immune function during the change of seasons,” Dr Leddin said.

“Regardless of your reason for visiting us, we look forward to meeting you.”

Other services provided by City Chiropractic Care include remedial massage, dry needling and cupping.

“Our remedial massage therapist is Lesley Likens, whilst Travis Saunders specialises in dry needling and cupping,” Dr Davidson said.

“Between Lesley and Travis, we are able to address a wide range of muscular issues. Whether your muscles are tight in a particular area, you have done an injury, or if you have stress related tension, we can help.”

NCE RCR Tints and Trades come into your life you will be amazed at the difference they can make not only to your sense of security but your back pocket.

Ash Hinton from RCR Tints and Trades has been working in the field for some 20 years and has just recently gone out on his own with his wife Kacey.

He does tinting for houses and businesses and cars.

“The benefits are many,” Ash said.

“In the winter the tinting helps retain about 30 per cent of heating, keeping you warm. In the summer the tinting rejects about 80 per cent of the heat.

“There is also the added fact of privacy.”

Ash says that many homes now have glass panels in their front doors and on the side panels or there will be windows without curtains.

“People feel nervous when they are exposed and the tinting provides privacy.”

Ash and Kacey also supply Solar Gards for glass surfaces, designed to prevent glass from breaking.

This makes it ideal to use around the home where it can be applied to shower screens and sliding doors.

The Gards are also invaluable on exterior windows.

“It is practically impossible for someone to smash through a window,” Ash said.

“A lot of tradies also use them on their trucks to stop thieves breaking in.”

Any inquiries you may have about tinting and Solar Gards in cars or houses or businesses will be welcomed by Ash who is skilled, keen and ready to get to work.

REVOR and Dora Taggert have been successfully running their floor covering business since 1986. That’s more than 30 years of establishing a great reputation.

“We started off in a farm shed in Woodvale in 1986,” Trevor said. “We did so well we moved into Sandhurst Road in 1988.

“Both Dora and I enjoy what we do and get heaps of job satisfaction. We often get letters of thanks from domestic and commercial clients.

“The standout feature of our business is that we give a personalised service to our customers. From the moment they walk in the door we take care of them.

“We have an initial consultation when we find out their requirements; then I go out and do a proper measure.

“I do the cutting and then we personally load the carpet or vinyl and instruct the contract installers. We’ve found over the

years the best way to make sure a job is done properly is to do it ourselves.”

The other aspect to this highly reputable business is the truthful advice that Trevor and Dora give their customers.

“We advise people as to what is cost effective for them. The cheapest carpet is not always the best, not if it’s going wear out in a couple of years,” Trevor said.

“We also stock over 700 plus rolls of stock and give advice regarding colour and décor.

“Some of our builders aren’t sure what to choose and other customers are actually overseas, so based on their input we help them choose the right floor covering.”

Better still for customers, Taggerts currently have a clearance sale.

Griffin returns to Spirit

By JOEL PETERSON

UNFINISHED business is the driving factor behind Kelsey Griffin’s return to the Bendigo Spirit for season 2017/18.

Griffin will be back in Spirit colours next season and is the second player to commit, following the club announcing the signing of Nadeen Payne.

While the club has been behind the eight-ball compared to other WNBL sides in terms of signings, Griffin’s signature represents the biggest piece of the club’s puzzle.

Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe will not return after signing a deal with French club Nantes. She is currently on the roster of WNBA side New York Liberty.

It is also unlikely that Blake Dietrick will return after an underwhelming campaign, while a question mark remains in regards to whether Gabe Richards, Heather Oliver and other Spirit mainstays will return.

Griffin is coming off a threeyear deal and minor off-season surgery and is currently coaching with the Bendigo Young Lady Braves.

“I’m excited to be re-signing here in Bendigo, it is a town and club I believe in and I feel my work here isn’t done,” she said.

“I am assistant coaching with the Young Lady Braves this offseason and I’ve been able to see the future of basketball in Bendigo and it is bright. I’m excited to continue to grow the culture here for future generations.”

ATHLETES RUN HOT BENDIGO athletes recorded the region’s best result in many years at last weekend’s state cross-country titles in the Yarra Ranges.

Andy Buchanan blitzed the large field of 392 in the men’s eight-kilometre event, winning by 25 seconds.

Joining Buchanan on the podium in the 8km event was Nigel Preston who was the third country Victorian athlete over the line.

The field included a 2016 Rio Marathon Olympian and some of the most seasoned runners in the state.

Under-16 pair Taryn Furletti and Yazmin Hayes ran extremely well in the 3km event, going one and two for the country title.

Ben Stoltz, Matt Hooke, Craig Green, Charles Chambers also performed strongly.

STRONG START FOR HURST

JUMPING FOR JOY: Kelsey Grifÿ n will suit up for the Spirit next season. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN Griffin said she is looking forward to continuing her relationship with the club’s fans, who she says are the best in the country.

Pritchard said she is vitally important to the club both on and off the court.

“The other players look up

to her and understand how important she is. And Bendigo has adopted her with open arms.

The work she does in the community is loved by a lot of people,” he said.

Just how much help Griffin will have is an unknown, and plenty of clubs around

the league have bolstered their rosters.

Adelaide has signed a host of players after a tough 2016/17 campaign, Perth is retooling for another championship run while two-time title winner Cayla George is returning to Townsville after a year away.

HOCKEY Central Victoria’s winter season is well and truly under way, with senior competitions seven rounds in and women five rounds in to their campaigns.

Sandhurst’s A-grade men had a tight tussle with Strathdale.

Both teams had late opportunities to secure the win with penalty corners but neither team was able to capitalise and the game finished in a 1-1 draw.

A grade women saw Eaglehawk defeat Sandhurst in the dying minutes after Eaglehawk converted penalty corner opportunity.

In a close contest between the top two teams on the B-grade women’s ladder Sandhurst defeated Senjuns 2-1.

Sandhurst are also among the junior sides travelling well, undefeated in the under-13 and -15 competitions.

BIG HIT: Maree Edwards with members from Falcons Baseball Club.

Club grant is a home run FALCONS Baseball Club and Marong Football netball Club are among the local recipients of some much-needed sports funding.

Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards announced the funding this week, which will enable the clubs to purchase some new equipment.

The funds are part of the Sporting Club Grants Program, which delivered more

than $500,000 in the second round of grants.

“Here in Bendigo, we are proud of our grassroots sports clubs and their efforts to make their sports more accessible and inclusive,” Edwards said.

The next round of the grants program opens on June.

For more information and application details visit www.sport.vic.gov.au

The Braves see two of the SEABL’s best sides this weekend, with Geelong (6-3) third in the east conference and the Spectres (9-1) on top of the east.

The Supercats are 5-3 in the women’s east conference and third, while Nunawading has had a mixed start to the season at 4-4.

Goodman said the Lady Braves have had success at Geelong in previous seasons, but noted the form of Alex Bunton and Sara Blicavs presents an imposing test. Maddy Wild will come back into the fold for Bendigo, adding another big to back up Chante Black and Ash Rininger.

“It will be a real test, the whole group is really aware of that. Geelong is a tough place to play and Bunton and Blicavs, especially, are in good form and always present a challenge,” he said.

“Practice was good on

South has Wright focus ITS finals aspirations aside, South Bendigo is heading into the two most important weeks of its 2017 campaign over the next fortnight.

The Bloods host Kyneton at Harry Trott Oval tomorrow, where the club’s new netball courts will be officially opened.

The following weekend, the

It’s the most important event between [the clubs] club hosts Sandhurst at the QEO in the annual Graeme Wright Cup match, traditionally its biggest game of the year.

There is, though, a sense from some South faithful that the annual game played in honour of a true club legend has fallen away in its importance over recent seasons.

The Bloods are hoping to restore that pride in what is its biggest day of the home and away season, highlighted given their adversaries in the Dragons are

the reigning premiers.

“It’s the most important event between us and Sandhurst and should rate as one of the biggest games on each season’s fixture for both clubs,” a club spokesperson said.

“Now is the time to really bolster its importance. We play the Dragons in round six on May 27 so let’s remind footy followers of the real importance and relevance of the day.”

Wright is a former South coach and captain, who took the reins at the club at just 23 years of age in 1982 and is a life member of the club.

He again coached the Bloods in 1986, represented the BFNL several times and also coached the Bendigo interleague side twice.

Wright’s children have also been heavily involved with the club, son Brad a longtime member of South’s backline and daughter Emma playing over 200 games of netball for the club.

Sadly, Graeme died in 1998 just months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour, but not before making an enormous contribution to South’s standing as a BFNL power in the mid-90s and early 2000s.

City helping Josh reach his dream

AIMING HIGH: South coach Brady Childs marks. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN “That’s why the Graeme Wright Memorial Cup fixture is played each year,” the spokesman said.

“This year marks the 18th season that South and Sandhurst

battle it out for the cup and a lot of Graeme’s family and former teammates will be present at the QEO to cheer the Bloods on.”

South plays Sandhurst next Saturday, May 27, at the QEO.

THINGS may be difficult for Bendigo City FC on the pitch, but it is helping to make an ambitious goal easier for one talented local.

Joshua Beekes is a local school student who hopes to one day represent his country in the world game, but he doesn’t want to be a Socceroo.

He hopes to become a Pararoo, a member of Australia’s Paralympic football team.

He describes himself as not being quite as flexible or strong as other able-bodied athletes through his left side, given his hemiplegia that resulted from cerebral palsy.

Beekes doesn’t let that hold him back. He is a state team member and trains midweek with City, mentored by under-15 coach and senior assistant Peter Lodewijks.

“He’s a great kid, with a great attitude. He’s an example that an apparent disadvantage does not have to be one if you are prepared to accept it and work hard,” Lodewijks said.

Club president Robyn Williams said City players Jake Floyd and Maxi Shanahan have also overcome hearing impairments and are performing well for the club.

On the pitch, City’s woes have continued, again heavily beaten by Brunswick City last week.

The club hosts Whittlesea Ranges at Epsom Huntly Reserve on Saturday.

Harrington shoots for AFLW

TRUE BLUE: Kerryn Harrington will play with Carlton.

BASKETBALLER Kerryn Harrington’s long-time adoration for the Carlton Football Club meant that when the offer to switch codes and become a blue was put to her, it made it that bit easier.

The Bendigo Spirit point guard was announced as the club’s newest rookie signing on Tuesday, along with former Gisborne netballer Maddy Gay. Harrington has spent the past two seasons with the Spirit and hit careerbest form, becoming a vital member of Simon Pritchard’s rotation and one of the club’s leaders.

The former AIS basketball program member

joined up with the Bendigo Thunder after the end of her WNBL campaign for a bit of a change of sporting scenery.

She has since starred in four games, but it was an AFL Victoria talent identification day that saw her stand out.

She came top-two in all three drills performed on the day, and despite rivals circling she followed her heart to Princes Park.

“It’s all been a bit of a whirlwind really, it isn’t something I had thought about all that much. I just decided to give footy a try,” she said.

“I’ve always grown up with it around me and my family has a history of sup-

porting Carlton so (joining the Blues) was a pretty easy decision.”

Harrington supported friends playing in the inaugural season of the competition and said that, plus a love for the game, got her interested in pulling on the boots.

“I followed the AFLW season really closely and went to the first game and it was just such a buzz, it was hard not to be excited by that,” she said.

“The club has been great so far and couldn’t have been more supportive. It’s been a really good experience and I’m looking forward to improving and getting to know the club and players.”

It’s 100% local - people, community, music & variety.

She said if there is an opportunity to play for the Spirit she will try to make it happen, a sentiment echoed by coach Simon Pritchard.

“Most AFL clubs have indicated to multi-code athletes they are happy with their players continuing in their other sport if there aren’t conflicts,” Pritchard said.

The club wished Harrington well, and said she has its full support in her AFLW endeavours.

She joins Bella Ayre, Emma Grant, Sarah Last, Jordan Ivey, Hayley Trevean, Jess Kennedy and former Bendigo Lady Braves teammate Elise Strachan in the AFLW ranks.

Work to do for Braves

By JOEL PETERSON

BENDIGO Lady Braves coach Jonathan Goodman says his team needs to vastly improve its effort and attitude when it tackles a busy weekend schedule in round eight of the SEABL season.

The Lady Braves suffered a disappointing loss in overtime against Sydney Uni last week.

The Lady Braves shot just one-of-nine in the overtime period and allowed Sydney to get to the foul line seven times while not attempting a free throw of their own.

Goodman said the most disappointing aspect was that his team appeared a touch complacent in their play.

A renewed focus and improved work on defence is what he thinks will make the difference for his side.

“It comes back to

work ethic really, we just took a poor attitude into the game against Sydney and it came back to bite us,” Goodman said.

“It was an uncharacteristic performance, and we’re just giving up way too many points to be in a position to win games.”

One of the bright spots for the Lady Braves team is the continued improvement of young sharpshooter Jess Rennie.

She shot five-of-nine from three-point range against Sydney and is averaging 8.8 points per game on 47 per cent shooting from behind the arc.

Undoubtedly benefitting from extended court time last season and spending the offseason with the Bendigo Spirit, she is one of several young Lady Braves showing strong form.

“It’s great to keep seeing the signs of improvement from our younger players, it adds some real excitement into the group and the program as a whole,” Goodman said.

The Lady Braves and Braves both face Geelong and Nunawading in a tough road-home double this weekend that will provide a stern test for both sides.

While the Lady Braves are coming off a loss, the Braves are coming off one of their best wins of the season.

Bendigo demolished rivals Mount Gambier 92-71 at home last week as Dyami Starks claimed player of the week honours.

He turned in his best showing in Braves colours, dropping 32 points in a super efficient scoring display.
