Myers Street plans revealed

HOTEL HOPES By SHARON KEMP

BENDIGO could soon have more hotel-style accommodation in the heart of the city with a four-storey hotel and retail complex proposal before the City of Greater Bendigo, this time in the heritage district alongside the 160-year-old Bush’s Produce store and St Paul’s Cathedral. The $3 million plan includes ground floor shops with an option to include a café, and rooms situated on three levels – 37 in total. The development is slated for the corner of Myers and Williamson streets and includes the building that housed a retail section of Bush’s until recently, but was an addition to the original 1885 building in which the business continues to operate. The plan is to open up the historic carriageway between the buildings that provided access off Williamson Street through which vehicles will be able to exit the new precinct. Vehicles will enter the ground floor carpark from Myers Street. Developer Peter Shoebridge is seeking council approval for the site to include less car parking than is required under planning guidelines. The planning application before council asks that 16 car parks be provided as part of the development, less than one third of the 49 that planning guidelines state should be provided.

The science of sound on show MARIST Brass Band will prove there’s art in science and Discovery Science and Technology Centre will demonstrate there is science in art at a joint performance on Saturday.

Like any visit to Discovery, don’t expect to just sit back and listen. Visitors can find out how the instruments work, and then join the Discovery team to make their own instrument.

While some great music is included, you’ll also discover the science behind the different sounds. The performance starts at 2pm on Saturday in the Discovery Centre auditorium.

Locals urged to #giveback – Page 3

A parking demand assessment report completed in July “provides evidence for the support in the reduction of car park numbers without detriment to the local and immediate area” according to the planning application. The plan also calls for some restoration work to existing heritage infrastructure including a curved brick archway in the carriageway. The overall design is an alteration to original plans for the site submitted in 2015. The changes include storeys that are stepped back to allow for balconies instead of a cubed design, and a greater offset from nearby buildings to give appropriate emphasis to their heritage features. The height of the proposed building was also addressed in development plans. “The proposed design is not able to compete with the extreme height or unique configuration of the adjoining church spire,” the application stated. “However it will be providing a more distinct low (to) medium scale building that won’t then overpower the St Paul’s church spire or its high roof line.” A verandah covering the ground floor level will replicate the shape of the existing corner building and create a consistent look from the footpath. Continued Page 2

HOME TRUTHS

The Weekly look at the local real estate market

Approvals show growth NEW data shows the number of new homes being approved and built in Victoria continues to grow, supporting local jobs and a strong economy. The latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reveals building approvals and construction work completed in the past 12 months have continued their upward trend. The total value of building approvals increased by 3.3 per cent to $3.29 billion in July 2017, and is up more than 20 per cent over the year. During the 12 months to July 2017, Victoria had the second highest value of total building approvals and the second highest number of dwelling unit approvals in the nation. The total value of Victoria’s building approvals was more than a third of the national total of $10.1 billion. The value of non-residential building approvals also increased 2.8 per cent in the month, and is 77.2 per cent higher over the year. By comparison, the number of dwelling unit approvals nationally fell by 1.7 per cent in July. In the quarter to June 2017, Victorian construction activity continued to climb with the total value of construction work completed increasing by $212 million. Engineering construction work in Victoria also increased to $264 million during the year. Since November 2014, there have been almost a quarter of a million

Hotel hopes for Bendigo CBD From Page 1 The proposed Myers Street development is the second residential hotel project for the Bendigo CBD in recent years, and follows earlier plans for the former Bendigo Advertiser Pall Mall site. Work to convert that building to a four-star hotel stalled and plans have since changed, but market research has demonstrated the need for a hotel in Bendigo’s CBD. Short stay apartments created by refurbishing the upper floors of historic shop fronts have comprised the majority of accommodation added in the city centre. The 1012-square-metre Commercial One zoned site at 12-14 Myers Street was sold at auction for $940,000 in April 2016.

jobs created in Victoria – the majority of which are full time – more than any other state. THE state government has released new guidelines to improve design standards for new apartment buildings in Victoria. Planning minister Richard Wynne this week released Apartment Design and Urban Design Guidelines for Victoria, to help state agencies, local councils, developers and consumers better understand recent improvements to design standards. The government says it has already introduced new standards that ensure new apartments are built with light, storage, ventilation and enough room to fit beds and furniture. These new guidelines will help developers meet their obligations and help local councils get their approvals right. The government is also planning a design advisory service to offer specialist advice to developers. New urban design guidelines have also been introduced, aimed at improving the design of public spaces and getting the design of buildings right so they integrate with areas around them. Both sets of guidelines are available at planning.vic.gov.au.

Hospital appeal ramps up

THE community campaign to raise $4 million towards the purchase of specialised equipment for the new Bendigo hospital enters a new phase next week. The #GiveBack campaign has already raised $2m, thanks to the generosity of local donors, and New Bendigo Hospital Appeal chairman Keith Sutherland said as the region’s population continues to grow, and our friends and family are enjoying longer lives, the community has come to depend on organisations such as Bendigo Health more than ever. “I was honoured to be appointed as chair of the New Bend-

igo Hospital Appeal committee in 2016 and am joined by Boort farmer and Loddon Shire mayor Neil Beattie, Bendigo lawyer Melissa Buchanan and leading Bendigo business woman Vicki Gaudion,” he said. “Together we have been meeting with leaders in the community to seek their support to the appeal and to date $2m has been raised.” Mr Sutherland said the appeal was a time-limited campaign dedicated to raising funds for state-ofthe-art equipment for the new Bendigo hospital. An extensive advertising campaign will kick off on Monday across much of central and northern Victoria in the broader region

served by Bendigo Health. More than 130,000 households and businesses across the region will be included in the campaign, with donations sought to purchase several major items, including

Medication management and medication safety is of paramount importance for major hospitals that provide care for thousands of patients each year. New technologies are available to improve medication safety, and many hospitals have already

adopted such technology – EDI systems – and have reported on improvements in medication safety, security and accountability. The appeal also hoped to raise funding for an Ophthalmic Microscope and Retinal Machine, which is specially designed to magnify parts of the eye’s anatomy in order to provide interventional high-level eye surgery. Loddon Mallee region residents who require high-level surgery to save or improve their eyesight must presently travel to Melbourne for treatment.

AEC calls for seat shuffle THE Australian Electoral Commission says Victorian federal electorates will be redistributed due to population growth. Electoral commissioner Tom Rogers made the determination yesterday based on the most recent official population figures for the Commonwealth. Mr Rogers said the figures showed a significant rise in Victoria, requiring a one-seat increase on the current 37 federal seats. The ACT will also increase by one from two seats to three, while South Australia will have one less federal seat at 10. As a result of the determination, the total number of members to be elected to the House of Representatives at the next federal election will increase from 150 to 151 members. Mr Rogers said the AEC will meet tomorrow to direct the commencement of federal redistribution processes in Victoria, SA and the ACT.

Jeff marks an end to years of service ONE of the Bendigo Bank’s longest serving employees will retire today, bringing an end to 51 years of his service with a smile and outstanding commitment to customer service. Born and bred in Bendigo, Jeff Ruff started behind the counter at the then Sandhurst Building Society in 1966, work-

ing from premises on View Street that are today home to the Bendigo Weekly. In a career spanning more than half a century, Mr Ruff has become one of the organisation’s best known faces, describing himself as a window into the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank for countless customers, solicitors, real estate agents and other

financial institutions who have conducted business with the Bendigo. “Bendigo should be very proud of what this bank has achieved,” he said. “And it’s very community oriented, and that’s my response that I’m part of that…. Making sure whoever I deal with has a positive experience.”

Regional Victorian police and emergency services will have access to the state’s digital radio network as of next year. Victoria Police, Victoria State Emergency Service, Life Saving Victoria, Corrections Victoria and Country Fire Authority (CFA) brigades operating in outer metropolitan areas will transition from outdated analogue systems to Victoria’s regional digital radio network during 2018. The government has made an amendment to its original digital radio agreement with Telstra, adding the four additional services onto the network. Selected CFA brigades have used digital radio since 2014. The government says digital radios for Victoria Police are being acquired and progressively rolled out across the state. Once the roll out of devices is completed, the network will be encrypted and police radios in rural areas will be as secure as those in metropolitan areas. The move to the digital system also ensures the SES, Life Saving Victoria and Corrections Victoria comply with Commonwealth spectrum regulatory changes.

Waiting game for pokies

By Sharon kemp

BENDIGO Stadium Limited’s application to introduce 44 pokies at the Wellington at Botanic Gardens hotel at White Hills is one of just three applications rejected since the start of 2016 by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation. Victoria’s gambling regulator has granted 15 of the last 18 applications to increase the number of pokies in venues or introduce gaming machines in new venues, but BSL chairman Brendon Goddard will not criticise the commission, saying that it is their right to reject the application if they considered they had good reason to. Regardless, BSL’s board will submit an appeal to the Victorian Civil

and Administrative Tribunal in time to meet the 28-day deadline for such action. Then it will await legal advice about the defensibility of the appeal. It would be a decision for the board but Mr Goddard said directors were prepared to withdraw the appeal if advice suggested it was unwinnable. He would not offer a reason why he thought the commission had refused BSL’s application. In its decision, the commission ascribed low weight to the benefit of community contributions that would flow to organisations from the proceeds of gambling at the Wellington. It also expressed concern about introducing pokies into areas where there had previously been none. And another concern was the lack

Wet start to spring expected

Uber is en route

SUNNY skies bid farewell to winter yesterday as locals look forward to the start of spring. However it could be a wet beginning to the year’s brightest and most colourful season. The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a strong chance of a wet first week of spring, with showers likely deep into next week. It would fit in with a recent trend of higher than average rainfall, with the past two months providing more than 120 millimetres. It still saw Bendigo come in with less rain than long-term averages for winter, just 2.4mm in June taking the total to 123.6mm, just over three-quarters of the longterm average figure. Maximum temperatures in winter were slightly more than longterm average figures at 13.6 degrees but nights were cooler, with a mean minimum temperature of 2.3 compared to the average of 3.0. Despite those figures, the number of nights below zero totalled one less than the average for winter of 19. The bureau also released its official outlook for spring yesterday, with near-median rainfall expected for much of Victoria, except southeast Gippsland which is expecting higher-than-average falls. The spring-like weather of today and yesterday won’t last long though, as a cold front moves through meaning the return of tshirts and shorts may have to wait a little while longer yet.

concerned about the price rises that would come with the deregulated market but “time will tell on that”. Uber Victoria state manager Lucas Groeneveld said demand for ride sharing services in Bendigo had encouraged Uber to set up shop. He said the Uber app had been opened 15,000 times in Bendigo in 2017, and more than 140 residents had expressed an interest in driving using the app. The business is based on an app that links drivers and passengers. Mr Groeneveld said Uber would offer opportunities for drivers interested in making extra money. “We know locals have been calling out for ride sharing for some time now and we’re delighted to bring choice and new transport options to Bendigo,” he said. “We look forwards to offering residents and visitors to Bendigo, a safe, affordable and reliable way to get around and enjoy the best of the city. “Importantly, ride sharing will also offer hundreds of Bendigo locals the opportunity to make extra money driving on the app as and when it suits them.”

UBER will launch its low-cost uberX service in Bendigo on October 26 based on demand for the service, according to the Victorian manager of the US-based technology group. It will bring to Bendigo competition in the taxi and ride sharing industry ahead of deregulation of the system in Victoria from next year. Under the new rules and if a second reform bill is passed later this year, fares will become flexible for all drivers, including for taxis. It means drivers will be able to charge passengers different prices to reflect the type of service they provide. Uber has always worked under this system and its passengers are subject to surge pricing whereby the price of the ride increases during times of high demand. Taxi drivers, whose fares have been regulated, will be able to charge higher prices during peak times. However, passengers in taxis will be also slugged a $1 levy every time they use a taxi to pay for the Victorian government to buy back taxi licences. Bendigo Taxis manager Colin Wells said he was

Asked if the departure of chief executive Jason Wallace leading up to the commission’s hearing of the application had hurt BSL’s case, Mr Goddard said probably but not materially. BSL’s application, he said, could have been better. In its decision whether or not to proceed, BSL’s board will also have to take into account the $250,000 it is likely to cost to see through the appeal. That is in addition to the money it has already spent drawing up the application. The VCGLR is an independent decision-making authority but it is ultimately accountable to the Victorian consumer affairs, gambling and liquor regulation minister.

CEO searches look local Regional areas an executive drawcard

By Sharon kemp

BENDIGO is suffering a CEO drought, with four of its biggest organisations advertising for a new leader. But Bendigo Health, City of Greater Bendigo, Bendigo Stadium and St John of God Bendigo hospital should not have any difficulty attracting a suitable candidate to the central Victorian city, according to executive search consultants. In fact, regional cities such as Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong were sought after locations for ambitious executives and not many

positions became vacant according to Nick Kelly, head of executive recruitment for talent search agency McArthur. “It is much easier than it used to be,” Mr Kelly said. Michelle Johnson, a director of Bendigo-based ESE Consulting, went a step further and said local candidates were likely to be well considered because they already had a feel for Bendigo and the city’s culture.

“I think more and more these days organisations are looking for local people,” Ms Johnson said. But both agencies would cast their nets widely in looking for interested applicants, using print ads to lure non-active job seekers and online ads to attract people actively seeking work. Both will also be among the agencies tendering for the job of finding the chief executive for Bendigo Health, which promises to

pay well given that compensation is typically a percentage of the salary of the successful candidate. Mr Kelly said his firm would also put its hand up to offer candidates for the top job at the council, but those applicants may have to compete with incumbent chief executive Craig Niemann if he chooses to reapply for the position he has held for a decade. The positions at Bendigo Health and Bendigo Stadium have been

vacant for a number of months, but Peter Faulkner and Nathan O’Neill have acted in the respective roles and could be front runners for the top jobs if they applied. At St John of God Bendigo hospital, Darren Rogers left suddenly for personal reasons two weeks ago. The job is being filled by St John of God Warrnambool hospital chief executive Trevor Matheson until the organisation finds a replacement. Mr Kelly and Ms Johnson said the process of recruiting a chief executive was similar to that for hiring for any position.

Men urged to make health a priority THE Bendigo Prostate Cancer Support Group has used the old Bendigo Bank headquarters as a clothesline for its giant undies ahead of a busy three months for the group’s members. The underpants pictured on the banner is a symbol for the message wants to get out to men every day. Des Woodward and Bert Moorhead, both survivors of prostate cancer, want men to have their prostate-

specific antigen screened through the simple process of a blood test when visiting a general practitioner. “When you go to the doctor, it should automatically be on the list of things to do,” Mr Woodward said. To raise awareness, he and three fellow survivors of prostate cancer ran through Hargreaves Mall in only their underpants. On Sunday, the Run for Dad will be held at Bendigo racecourse.

The event raises funds for prostate cancer research. And the Blokes’ Biggest Lunch will take place on November 24 featuring champion boxer Danny Green as the guest speaker. The support group also meets monthly on the last Thursday of the month at the National Hotel for a catch up and meal. A contact for the group is Neil Macdonald on 0430 037 922.

IN what could be the start of the invigoration of Bridge Street, the Bridge Hotel wants to add an undercover patio to its outdoor hospitality, having expanded outdoors as much as it can. The hotel has plans before council showing a paved area at the entrance of the Coliban Water head office next door, enclosed by glass from the road but accessible into the hotel and separate to the entrance of the government agency. The area contains a water feature which is not used and which in a letter of support for the Bridge Hotel development, Coliban said was “developed pre-drought and was not used as it sent mixed messaging about water usage at that time”. The Bridge Hotel’s application argues patronage of the hotel had changed in recent years with the significant development behind Bridge

Street of numerous health services. “The Bridge Street precinct is... a growing market as many local employees are increasingly utilising our existing range of preprepared sandwiches and rolls, breakfast and hotel made muffins and pastries,” the planning application stated. “This part of our market is increasing at a faster rate than any other and we would predict further growth as the Bridge Street precinct evolves into the City of Greater Bendigo proposed strategic growth plan.” The council identified the potential for Bridge Street to support the construction of multi-storey apartments and more shopping and restaurants, and had the area rezoned in 2016 to make way for such development. Bridge Street is regarded under the strategic plan as being an extension of the CBD.

THE state-wide launch of National Stroke Week came to Bendigo yesterday, with residents urged to learn the four key signs of a stroke. Running from September 4 to 10, National Stroke Week raises awareness about the signs of and effects of stroke. City of Greater Bendigo councillor Jennifer Alden and health practitioners were on hand at Bendigo Health to learn the signs of stroke,

summed up as FAST; face, arms, speech and time. Bendigo Health geriatricians clinical director Marc Budge said local residents have access to some of the most rapid and effective treatment in any regional area. “The trial of the Pulsara app allows paramedics to notify the hospital that a stroke patient is on the way and Victorian Stroke Telemedicine gives us access to stroke spe-

cialists in Melbourne –cutting down treatment time by 20 percent and saving vital brain cells,” he said. “However for the app and the Telemedicine program to work we need people to recognise FAST and dial 000.” Stroke Foundation figures show strokes kill more women than breast cancer, more men than prostate cancer and leave thousands more with ongoing disabilities.

fresh look: Council’s Terry Karamaloudis, Cultural Tourism Victoria’s Carrie Donaldson and councillor Rod Fyffe.

Tourism on track The 21st edition of the Experience Culture Victoria brochure highlights the immense depth and quality of cultural experiences on offer in the Bendigo region and right across the state. Launching the 2017/18 edition of the booklet, Cultural Tourism Victoria’s Carrie Donaldson said regional areas including Bendigo were leading the way in transforming public and private places with striking and ever-changing art. “Melbourne has long

been recognised as Australia’s creative and cultural capital. It seems a natural evolution that so many of our streets, laneways and public spaces are being transformed,” Ms Donaldson said. “However this transformation is also taking place right across the state and we are being recognised for not only the quality of our regional galleries and theatres but also our strikingly bold street art culture. “We encourage resi-

dents and visitors to wander Victoria and uncover cities, towns and villages all teeming with galleries, studios, theatres, events and their own rich stories and connections to the cultural landscapes that make this such a creative state.” Council’s tourism and major events manager Terry Karamaloudis said the Bendigo region was renowned for its gold rush history and beautiful architecture, but was now also a drawcard for arts and culture loving

During the session, guest speakers include Edie Mayhew, diagnosed with early onset dementia seven years ago, and her partner Ann Tudor. The pair will share how they wrote each other a letter every day for a week, which became a positive and lasting experience for them both. There are more than 410,000 Australians living with dementia and it is the second biggest cause of death for Australians, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Alzheimer’s Australia will also present its “Eight Things You Need to Know About Dementia”

tourists as well as a vibrant place for local residents. “The success of Bendigo Art Gallery exhibitions, the world-class performance venues, the cultural attractions such as the Golden Dragon Museum, colourful hidden laneways and a plethora of arts and cultural events add to the city’s sophisticated vibe,” he said. About 60,000 copies will be printed this year and a digital edition is available at culturaltourismvictoria. com.au

Sessions to provide support Goldfields Libraries will present five special sessions to inform and support people and families affected by dementia during Dementia Awareness Month this September. Bendigo library will partner with Alzheimer’s Australia to present Letters of Love and Dementia on Friday, September 8. The event will feature a morning tea with teapots, fine china and cake stands laden with treats. People experiencing dementia, their family and friends and the general public are invited to come, sip tea and ponder a letter of their own.

IT’S research week at La Trobe University, with a host of Bendigo academics sets to share their recent insights with the wider community. Daily lunchtime talks in the campus circular lecture theatre were the order of the day, covering topics such as biomedicine, allied health and social cohesion in Bendigo. Associate professor Pauleen Bennett will today outline her work into the benefits of bringing dogs into primary school classrooms. Professor Bennett said recent similar studies have

begun to examine the educational and cognitive effects of children interacting with animals as part of their education. “My study has expanded on this research, with a focus on reading skills and executive functioning abilities in six-to-eight-year-old children,” she said. “Traditional educational interventions often fail to benefit children who need them the most, and this study has revealed some potentially-significant findings in this field. “Those findings could inform future interventions targeting the development

of reading skills and executive functions in typically developing children. “Further research is now underway to look at the effects of dogs on other cognitive tasks, and also in special populations such as children with autism spectrum disorder.” Professor Bennett’s study involved local primary school students and their teachers, La Trobe PhD and Masters students and the Bendigo-based charity Righteous Pups. Her talk will take place today at 12.30pm. Details from www. latrobe.edu.au

The Temporal Bone Donor Society and Melbourne University will use the seminar to increase understanding of temporal bone donation. Society founder and president Tamar Black said the temporal bone housed the inner ear and controlled the body’s balance and hearing systems. “Many people suffer with very debilitating and frustrating balance and/ or hearing disorders because they do not know

what specialist medical treatment is available through public hospitals like the eye and ear,” Dr Black said. “These disorders frequently impact on quality of life and mental health, and affect the patients’ families and significant others.” Dr Black said the after-life donation of a temporal bone allowed researchers to improve medical treatment and cochlear implants by learning more about clinical balance and hearing disorders. “We hope to reduce barriers to seeking treatment and increase rates of temporal bone donation,” she said. Dr Black said anyone registering as a donor could donate a DNA sample which may result in early detection of these

Firewood collection heats up The Spring 2017 firewood collection season on public land opens across Victoria today. Forest Fire Management Victoria’s Brady Childs said people are reminded that once the firewood collection season is under way it’s important that people only collect firewood from designated collection areas and stay within collection limits. “This includes taking a maximum of two cubic metres per person per day and a maximum of 16 cubic metres per household per financial year,” he said. “Some designated firewood collection areas may not open at the beginning of the season for various reasons, including supply or accessibility due to wet conditions. “More information and updates about firewood cosllection, including the location of firewood coupes, will be available at www.ffm.vic.gov.au/firewood from today.” Under the Forest Act 1958, people who collect firewood outside designated firewood collection areas or a firewood collection season or take more than the maximum allowable amounts can face fines of $634, or a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment or a fine of up to $7928 or both, if the matter proceeded to court. Any information the community may have about the illegal removal of firewood for sale can be reported to DELWP on 136 186.

A peaceful protest THE Red Ribbon Rebellion returned to Bendigo this week, to mark the anniversary of the original event in 1853. The Bendigo Historical Society arranges the annual re-enactment annually to celebrate and remember what was a critical turning point in Bendigo’s gold rush history. This peaceful protest was directed against the payment of what the diggers called a tax – a licence fee for the right to search for gold on Crown Land.

The crowd surrounded Camp Hill, and a delegation met with Commissioners Wright and Panton on Camp Hill (in Rosalind Park) to offer them 10 shillings for the September licence. The commissioners rejected the offer, but no licences were collected in September and this marked the end of the licence fee on the goldfields. The Red Ribbon Rebellion is an example of how democracy

can work effectively and result in the will of the majority being heard without the need for violence. “In a world where war and violence are so often considered the only way to settle our differences, it is essential that we remember those moments where peaceful negotiations have delivered the desired result,” Bendigo Historical Society president Jim Evans said.

Training boost from a team approach

By joel peterson

FOR Bendigo Jockey Club track manager Bernard Hopkins, watching a Lloyd Williams galloper go around the Bendigo track is all part of a day’s work. But it’s what goes into that day’s work that is the reason owners and trainers like Williams choose Bendigo when working their horses. While Williams and his horses might go on to Melbourne Cups – as he did with Almandin last year – Hopkins has made his own bit of history by winning a prestigious national award for the second time. Such was the respect Williams had for the work done by Hopkins and his team, he scored an invite to the post-cup party at Macedon. Now he has been named the Australian Racecourse Manager of the Year, and in doing so has become the first person to win the award twice. Hopkins has been a fixture at the club for 17 years after coming from Goulburn, where he oversaw a revamp of the track. He paid credit to his team in accepting the award, some of whom get to the track at 4am and others not leaving until midnight. CEO Aaron Hearps said the award was very much deserved. “It is great for Bernie to receive the acknowledgment he so richly deserves,” BJC CEO Aaron Hearps said. “Bernie’s contribution to our club and indeed the racing industry has been immense over an extended period of time now and it gives us great satisfac-

surfaces in our state,” Racing Victoria’s tracks and facilities manager James Cataldo said. Hopkins will turn his attention to the upcoming spring racing and Bendigo Cup over coming months.

This week we will look at harnessing the power of group training. Bendigo has some wonderful cycling networks that can help you achieve more from your cycling than trying to “go it alone”. It is in our nature to train as a group, we get encouragement by others to go further longer and faster. Cycling is unique compared to many other sports as it can be practiced alone or in a group – we have the best of both worlds in that respect. Aim to become a cyclist who has a wellbalanced mix of group sessions and solo sessions in your routine each week. As with all team sports the power of group training is well documented. Take full advantage of the companionship and groups in Bendigo as they will help you continue your routine through the depths of winter and help you push yourself to new personal bests on many levels. The adrenalin rush of riding in a peloton and the feeling of achieving speeds you could not ever have dreamed of is amazing. The peloton is wonderfully addictive and perhaps the attraction can be traced back to the tribal days of our ancestors of running in packs. Bendigo has a cycling network of training groups

that depart from the Sternberg Street roundabout every Saturday morning from 7am to 7.45am (7.45am a specific group for newcomers). Please contact me to find out more: matt@ coachprobikefit.com Solo training sessions are equally as important as group training. Solo riding improves your technique, mental focus, breathing, and spatial awareness of the surroundings. These sessions can help you concentrate on a training zone or specific efforts on your program. Often solo sessions can be done indoors on a set of rollers, rear wheel trainers or a fixed ergo bike. This allows you to focus at a deeper level, on balance, torque effectiveness or power zones without any distractions or variables that outdoors provide. Remember a balanced mix of both group and solo training is the key to many years of cycling. Congratulations on improving your physical and mental wellbeing by getting on the bike. Train smart. – Matt Wallace

In recent times the Fosterville Gold Mine has been experiencing record production and continued growth indicating exciting times ahead. Kirkland Lake Gold who is the owner of the Fosterville Gold Mine sees this as an opportunity to increase our exploration activities within our existing Exploration Licence area (EL3539 and EL4937as outlined in adjacent map). Proposed Exploration Activities Activities that may be undertaken within this licence area in the near future include: • Soil Sampling • Airborne Electromagnetic Surveys • Seismic Surveys • Surface drilling maybe undertaken at a later stage, depending on results. Timeframe • • •

Soil sampling will commence late August 2017. The Airborne Electromagnetic survey is likely to be undertaken in mid-September and will only take a couple of days to complete. You may see a helicopter flying at reasonably low levels during this time. Seismic surveys potentially towards the later stage of 2017.

Communication Fosterville Gold Mine has recently held community meetings in Goornong and Axedale which outlined our Future Exploration Strategy and what this will mean for our community. Further information will be provided in our newsletters, social media and other publications around the region. We will also be running four mobile information booths on the following dates: • •

Chelsea, Barcelona and Manchester United were all represented, though only on the shirts of the players in 17 teams who will do battle for the main prize. Karen and Afghan community teams from Bendigo, Dandenong, Echuca and Swan Hill took the field alongside Bendigo community teams representing council, Victoria Police, Bendigo and District Aboriginal Cooperative, Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services and Bendigo Old Gold. A Dandenong-based Afghan team took out overall honours. BCHS cultural diversity and relationships manager Kaye Greaves said the event

Hosted by the City of Greater Bendigo, Bendigo library and Agriculture Victoria, the session will be held at 6pm on Wednesday, September 13 at the Bendigo library. Council’s Anthony Sheean said last summer a large population of Queensland fruit fly spread across urban Bendigo. “Many residents experienced damage to their fruit and vegetable crops,” Mr Sheean said. Bookings are essential and can be made online atgoldfieldslibraries.com or by phoning Bendigo library on 5449 2700.

The Bendigo Gem Club exhibition and expo returns next month, and it’s going to be something of a celebration. The group is celebrating their 50th anniversary, and the 40th anniversary of the annual exhibition. The anniversaries are symbolized with gold and ruby respectively and the expo will feature displays to represent these significant milestones. The club was founded in 1967 when a group of

around 60 rock enthusiasts met weekly in a converted chook shed. Members raised funds by picking apples in Harcourt each year and in 1970 bought a property frontage at 10 Galvin Street. By 1980 the club had bought the remainder of the block from the railways, built a clubroom and workshop, and were finally able to move in. A silver workshop was later added with jewellers benches and metalwork

tools. The annual exhibition is the club’s only fundraiser with proceeds supporting the running of the club and maintenance of the premises and equipment. The event is held over two days and includes showcases by members, stallholders selling jewellery making and lapidary tools, rocks, minerals, gemstones. The expo will feature gold and ruby displays, gold panning and pros-

pecting activities, gem sifting for the kids and showcase activities that are on offer at the club. Canteen and refreshments available. Doors open Saturday September 9 from 10am until 5pm and Sunday, September 10 from 10am to 4pm at the Baptist Church, 757 McIvor Rd, Junortoun. Mayor Maragaret O’Rourke will open the Expo at 11am on the Saturday.

Blowing away the competition

A BENDIGO school has managed a clean sweep at the Victorian School Music Festival. Girton Grammar School music students in the wind symphony, senior concert band, Girton singers and junior performance choir have been awarded gold. The festival is a prestigious event held each year at a variety of venues around the state across a four week period, with schools from all over Victoria participating in a range of competitions. Head of Girton Grammar Jjnior school music Laura Dusseljee said that the event

adjudicators described the junior school performance choir as “brilliant”. “The judges were very impressed with our choir and said they had great attention to detail,” she said. “They also described the choir as well-disciplined, which is exactly what is required if a good choir is to become great.” The festival provides the opportunity for students to perform in some of Victoria’s premier performing spaces and to work with leading music educators. Over the course of the

event, students were provided with feedback and analysis to improve their performance and were awarded points according to a range of criteria related to performance, rehearsal, improvement and listening skills. VCE music teacher Jacqui Vine said the wind symphony and senior concert band had learned an enormous amount through the competition. “The festival is an ideal platform for music students to really listen to themselves and their peers making music,” she said.

Be aware of our privilege Can you imagine this? Two men are standing together on the boundary at a local football game. They are discussing the muchappreciated playing skills of a relatively new player at their club. Then one man says to the other, “and he is a great contributor around the club”. And the second responds “yes and did you know he is heterosexual?” It is unlikely isn’t it that the last statement would be made. The player belongs to a majority group. Being in a majority group installs a privilege that means your sexuality or your ethnicity or your white skin or many other features do not need to be named. You are not perceived as a threat to the general order of things. You are familiar. I hope we can all be aware of how our privilege can influence our views about same -sex marriage or refugee issues or drug testing for the unemployed. First and foremost, think about people and their right to respect. Like each of us, they are contributors to our community. Labelling the other, can hurt and demoralise people but is unlikely to change them. Di O’Neil, Bendigo

Big Australian – big mistakes BHP CEO, Marius Kloppers, and executive officer, Mike Yeager, in 2011 initiated the purchase of shale gas/ oil businesses in the USA for a cool US$20 billion and spent another US$18b developing them. Roughly US$10b worth of writedowns over the 2015 and 2016 financial years followed. Now BHP has signalled it is selling the businesses. It is expected to get as little as US$8b for them. Kloppers’ “visionary leadership” at BHP yielded more than $75 million in cash, shares and performance rights when he departed in 2013. Sounds like a fairy tale? Unfortunately for shareholders at BHP it is reality. Michael McKenzie, Strathdale

Where was the care? As the number 53 bus to Eaglehawk was preparing to leave Bendigo railway station at 3.39pm recently, some 20-30 school children scrambled for the footpath seats to watch as a neatly dressed frail old man (91+) collapsed as he hurried to reach this bus before it moved off. Dragging himself on all fours and

grabbing his bag of groceries, not one of those children watching three to four metres away, came to his aid as he fell, gasping for breath and raising his arm to ask the bus driver to wait a few seconds. They seemed to consider it an amusement. Where is the teaching in Bendigo schools and homes for compassion and care and consideration for others? Is Bendigo breeding a race of unthinking uncaring robots? At least the bus driver of the bus cared and waited. Edward Chase, Bendigo

Shortage of staff A recent report in local media points out that there is a lack of preparation in the construction of the new hospital and a problem with staff retention. The board spokesperson revealed that there is “a lack of staff available in the Bendigo region and issues in staff retention”. While our local member of parliament can only add “Bendigo Health recruitment policies were a matter for the health service.” Why are we paying high salaries to managers and politicians to come up with solutions to the growth in our population, when they cannot come up with answers. I openly ask our elected representative the following questions: 1. What is wrong with the working environment to cause the lack of retention of trained staff? 2. What are these issues which cause the lack of retention? 3. What relationship does the board have with La Trobe University nursing school? 4. Where are all the graduated nurses from La Trobe University going? Management of our hospital and its human resources is the responsibility of not just the board of management, it is the responsibility of our state members and our elected city councillors who should be on top of the situation. Bill Collier, Golden Square

Bible’s integrity at risk An issue that is at the heart of the same-sex marriage debate but which hasn’t received due coverage in the media involves the integrity of the bible. The biblical position on the practice of homosexuality is quite clear. It rules against it. So then, what of it? Can we have some discussion regarding the significance of this red flag? Does the bible have credibility or

number of politicians with dual citizenship. While electricity and gas prices soar and cost of living and childcare costs rise, federal and state politicians and our newly elected councillors have all got one thing in common – they have got or are contemplating large pay rises. I just wonder what our predecessors would think today, if they were to come back. They put their lives on the line to give us a safe and prosperous future, to see what our incompetent leaders have done to this once great country. Ivan Kitt, Bendigo

On a regular basis lately when you read the news one wonders where our great nation is heading or perhaps even gone. It’s shameful the way our politicians of all persuasions, both federal and state as well as our councillors, are constantly making decisions (or lack of logical and reasonable decisions) for the betterment of the constituents they are elected to represent. The federal government is making a complete hash of the marriage equality situation where they are prepared to spend mega bucks on posting out a survey saying the people should have a say. And then they are going to vote on the issue when they are returned. Why waste all that money that could go into health, childcare and disability services? Now the latest scandal is the

I wish to thank your paper for its fine coverage of the Post Office Gallery exhibition, Taverns to Temperance. The photo featured in the glass cabinet was of my grandfather William Carter c. 1902, enjoying a tipple from the old teapot out the back of the Foundry Hotel. The photo is now a life-size one on a wall in the Foundry Hotel which has been renovated. We are trying to identify the other six men in the photo. My grandfather is third from the left. Anyone who has any knowledge of the other men I would be most grateful to hear from them. I can be contacted at takywm2@adam.com.au Wendy Takos, South Australia

the offset has gone to fund the NDIS. There was a one-off pensioner energy supplement paid in June to all those eligible. But isn’t it Labor state and federal who plan to reach 50 per cent renewable energy by 2030 which would send these same pensioners’ energy bills through the roof? If Ms Chesters really wishes to assist pensioners, and indeed all Australians, then she ought to be working to reduce the major cause of high energy cost – the clean energy target. Helen Leach, Bendigo

not? If not, then we drive on. However, if so, then what? One statement it makes, for example, being relevant to the current debate is that there is a very close relationship between homosexuality and a society that has made a considered decision to put god out of the public arena and to sanction a secular approach to life. That is a clear teaching found in the first chapter of the book of Romans. Now what do we do with that? Shouldn’t we be giving at least some consideration to the guidelines contained in a book which has made such a significant and constructive contribution to the development of many cultures and civilisations over a period of many centuries? If not, then perhaps the plebiscite will be just as much an indicator of our level of secularism and low opinion regarding the integrity of the bible as what it will be regarding our attitudes towards the controversial question that is soon to be mailed out to us? Garry McCay, Kangaroo Flat

A bigger picture It’s nice of Lisa Chesters to show such compassion for pensioners facing higher energy prices, and missing out on the pension supplement to help pay their power bill, but that is not the whole story. The payment was to offset the carbon tax which Labor introduced, but as this tax is no longer current, then

editorial

Time to give back THE new Bendigo hospital has been treating patients from through central and northern Victoria for more than seven months now, but the push to provide more much needed and potentially lifesaving equipment will step up a gear from next week. Thanks to the incredible generosity of some of our city’s leading local businesses, families, support organisations and individuals, about $2 million has already been raised by a small and dedicated hard working committee. But you can’t buy half a machine or half a piece of equipment, so the challenge to raise a further $2m goes on. The campaign to raise the next $2m enters an important phase from Monday, and will be one of the largest of its type undertaken in our region. And it needs to be. There’s no shortage of worthy causes and organisations seeking the community’s generous support to create a better place for us all to live in and share, but hospitals are places all of us want to see as being appropriately funded, well-staffed and properly run.

Editorial Comment And while none of us really want to be there, unless we need to be, the least we can do is make sure the hospital is the best it can be. We are extremely fortunate to have such a world-class facility located in our city – one that is arguably as good as any in a city of Bendigo’s size, anywhere in the world. That claim to fame is only as good as the support and enthusiasm from the community to ensure the hospital is the best it can be in every possible way. Bendigo Health serves a catchment that goes way beyond our municipality. It stretches to the northern and western extremes of the Mallee and the Wimmera, into southern New South Wales and south to Gisborne, and all areas in between. We probably also all know someone who works at Bendigo Health, as the organisation is a major employer in our community and region, and an equally major con-

tributor to the city’s economy. More importantly, it is the major health facility most of us, and/or our loved ones, are likely to have a need for at some stage of our lives. That’s why we encourage everyone to consider how important Bendigo Health is to themselves and their family when the #GiveBack campaign comes to them. Chances are someone in the vast majority of households was born at Bendigo Health, and we all know someone who was treated at Bendigo Health at some stage of their lives. It’s nice to know that when the times comes, we can be assured our hospital is what we want and need it to be, not the least because the community did its bit to contribute towards such an important facility. The money raised by the New Bendigo Hospital Appeal committee will go a long way towards improving the lives of locals and our fellow regional and rural Australians. Chances are, your donation will go towards equipment that will also help save lives. And you never know, the life you help save, could even be your own.

mayor’s opinion By MARGARET O’ROURKE City of Greater Bendigo Mayor

YOU might have seen the City of Greater Bendigo’s online survey about rubbish collection circulating on social media in the last week. This is part of a review of the city’s waste services that we are completing. The survey will provide us with some very valuable information to improve waste management services into the future. If you want a hard rubbish collection, think we should empty your recycle bins weekly or your rubbish bins fortnightly; this is your chance to have your say. The survey has already had a very good response but there is still plenty of time to complete it yourself.

Anyone who would like to fill out the survey but is unable to complete it online can contact the city on 5434 6000. Another very important topic that you can have your say on at the

S I left it last week, Molly the red tractor was axle deep in the mud. Of course I could not just leave her there, so the plot started to remove her from the bog, and a bog it was. Of course the beaut ute was out of the question, as was the neighbour’s tractor, so I took a leaf out of the book of the ancient Roman guide to infrastructure. The Romans were very good at roadbuilding, and that’s what was needed. It didn’t need to be the whole paddock, just a stretch to lift Molly clear until she could get some traction. Thankfully my brother is visiting, and he spent a couple of days with the quad bike and a small trailer hauling rocks from various places. He dug out ahead of the back wheels and started laying the rocks to form the first layer of the road. I lifted the front end up using Molly’s bucket and we

all joined in to fill the muddy chasm with some solid grounding. We pulled kilograms of mud from the tracks of the wheels, and soon I decided it was time for the off. Molly kicked into life immediately, no problem with starting the engine. I lowered the front wheels onto the rocks and they sank slightly, but seemed to hold Molly’s weight. It was a nervous time. I engaged a forward gear, four-wheel-drive and diff lock and gently pressed the accelerator. Molly rocked in the mud and then started to

pull clear. The long-suffering Mrs Kendall was yelling something I thought was “No, no” but there was no way I was stopping. Mrs K kept yelling and I kept driving, now well clear of the bog and heading for dry land. I finally realised Mrs K was yelling “Go, go” so it’s lucky I hadn’t stopped. Why she felt the need to yell the obvious baffles me, but it’s something I am used to. I was really in too low a gear, but was not game to shift in case I stalled and sunk again, so I went away at high

revs and a lowish speed. Suddenly I noticed that strange smell of burning, was it mud on the engine, was the screaming gear box overheating, I didn’t know, I just kept driving. As I approached the safety of the gate and a metal road I slowed down a bit and thought something was not quite right. It was then I noticed I had left the handbrake on. But Molly had managed despite my mistake, and after a hosedown was back in the shed. – Steve Kendall twitter@stevekendall1

The show attracts a wide range of artists and painting from the Bendigo region and all over Victoria. The group’s John Clancy said prices of the exhibits vary to suit all pockets. “The quality of the paintings has continued to improve over the past number of years,” he said. “It is expected that the exhibition space will be filled with paintings to almost capacity, and a good attendance from the public is anticipated. “Profits from the art show are used to assist charities associated with young people,

T’S not every day that a novel set in one of the world’s leastknown archipelagos, the Faroe Islands, appears in print. Even rarer is a book that delivers both a spine-tingling plot and at the same time an insightful, informative and entertaining glimpse into the psyche of the Faroese population. Faroes-born, British-raised policeman Jan Reyna is back in the islands for the funeral of his biological father, a man with whom Reyna has had no contact since his mother died, leaving her five-year-old son to be raised by her sister in England. At the same time the Faroese are celebrating the start of the traditional whaling season – a time when pods are driven onto beaches to be butchered and then shared by the community. This centuries-old but gory act of self-sufficiency has caught the attention of an international animal rights group that is determined to disrupt the practice in any way it can. When the anti-whaling protesters’ photographer, Erla Sivertsen, is found murdered,

the culprit is soon identified as a local fishing-boat captain and the victim’s former boyfriend, now a married man who rekindled his relationship with Sivertsen when she returned to document the hunt and for the past few weeks has been involved with her in a clandestine affair. It’s an open-and-shut case, according to the local law enforcement branch’s secondin-command, based in Tórshavn, the Faroes’ capital and only town of any real size. Police detective Hjalti Hentze isn’t quite so certain, however, despite being the adulterous fisherman’s father-inlaw, and enlists Reyna’s help to explore other possibilities. Inadvertently the pair open a door on subterfuge, espionage and covert intelligence that stretches far beyond the Faroes’ own watery border. Ould describes the landscape, culture and lifestyle of the Faroe Islands to perfection, delivering a portrait of an impressively independent society that takes care of itself when threatened. – Rosalea Ryan

Midweek Blues at the Vine L

AST Days of May is a polished debut album from Bendigo blues-rock outfit Midweek Blues. The five-piece will launch the album next Friday, September 8 at the Golden Vine. They got together in 2014 with little more than a midweek blues jam in mind. “The plan was to get together and make some noise. With 10 kids between us, it was the release we all needed,” lead guitarist Jayd Ingles said. “The rough goal was to be in a position to play a gig at Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival that year – so we set about learning some blues standards. “After a few weeks of jamming we started to gel. We got to play a short guest spot at The Exchange at the festival. It gave us a real confidence boost.” Gigs at other venues – the Golden Vine, Goldmines, Newmarket, and MusicMan – followed. They soon began writing their own material. Rhythm guitarist Paul Robins: “We were jamming on a chord progression one night. I was playing around with the echo effect. Mick started singing a melody and throwing some words out, and before we knew it we had Run and Hide.” Run and Hide is the catchy last track on the album – more conventional rock than blues. All nine tracks on Last Days of May are originals – a

confident statement of intent. ” are joined in Midweek Robins and Ingles Blues by John Northfield on harmonica, Steve Osborne on drums, and Mick Sheahan on lead vocals and bass. It’s an accomplished album – the musicianship reminding this writer of Robert Cray, with its ‘clean’ blues-rock sound. Last Days of May was recorded at Bald Hill Studios; Keith MacQueen co-producing with the band. The album sticks with some trusted blues themes – album opener The Man Who Has It All a cautionary tale. “The more you work, the more you make, the more material things you buy,” Sheahan said. “But is that really what makes people happy? In the end you just have more to lose. It tells a story of a man who has everything he thought he wanted, but then he loses it all. “In the last verse he travels off around the countryside with his guitars, and is happier than ever.” Run and Hide examines the end of a relationship. “It’s about a man finding out his wife is cheating on him. The song spans the final conversation between them, when he realises that their life together is over,” Sheahan said. “Everybody Wants is poking fun at people wanting to be famous, and the lengths that peo-

ple will go to have their time in the spotlight.” Midweek Blues is very much a product of their environment. “The great thing about the Bendigo music scene is that everyone is very supportive, and a number of people are key to giving musos an outlet,” Robins said. “Roy Webb, Paul Tzountzourkas – MusicMan is where we really started feeling comfortable on stage. Tyson Hodges at the Golden Vine. Colin Thompson, of course. Playing the Exchange to a

full house every festival is a highlight of our year.” Before the festival though, the important matter of an album launch for this Bendigo fivepiece. Midweek Blues play at the Golden Vine, next Friday, September 8. Doors at 8.30pm. Support comes from Sherri Parry and Bill Barber. – Simon Wooldridge twitter: @spwooldridge

Bendigo LIFE discover bendigo with James Lerk

On the council T

HE Strathfieldsaye Shire had three main sources of revenue from its ratepayers in the late 1890s, fruit and vine growing, mixed agriculture and gold mining. Strathfieldsaye fruit was being sold in the markets of Europe, with local growers being awarded for the quality of what was offered. Strathfieldsaye wines were considered to be among the best and compared more than favourably with those from France and Germany. British capital had been secured for developing a number of mines at Diamond Hill, part of the Strathfieldsaye Shire, in the Mandurang Riding of which Herbert Keck had been elected as the council representative. It was a huge achievement on the part of two men who had managed against immense competition from the Western Australian Goldfields and those of the Rand in South Africa to bring capital to the shire for the mines there. The two men responsible for securing this elusive investment money were Louis August Samuels, a former president of the shire, and Henry John Etherington. Both these mining entrepreneurs and their important role have been much neglected by Bendigo historians. WG Blackham, a prominent local mining investor and company director wrote to the shire pointing out that there were many people who were marking out residence areas around the Faugh Ballagh area and towards Dead

Synagogue revealed T

HE latest publication of the Bendigo Historical Society, Jewish Worship in Bendigo (Sandhurst), is about something that no longer exists – the former Jewish synagogue. Subtitled An Overview of Religious observation 1853-2017 Terence Davidson’s primary concern is with the history of Jewish worship in Bendigo and the impetus which gave rise to not one, but two synagogues being built in Bendigo. The second synagogue is of particular interest in that it was built by the well known Bendigo architects Vahland and Getzschmann. This second synagogue was built on the location of the much more modest first synagogue, in Hopetoun Street near the Beaurepaires Tyre business. It stood for 50 years before

being demolished in 1926, largely due to the falling Jewish congregation. Davidson’s research not only confirms the exact location of the synagogue but suggests that the building had a capacity to hold 200 people on the ground floor and nearly 100 people in the gallery which was exclusive to women. Davidson says the building has been variously described as being “Byzantine” in style or “Grand Egyptian”. The facade design was in red and white brickwork. Unfortunately while there are reports of weddings held in the synagogue, Davidson tells us there is little to document the social community which centred around its place of worship. Davidson said his main in-

tention in writing his book was to record the known facts about the synagogues . ”We didn’t want to lose the material available,” he said. “But the basis is there now for historians who want to do further research.” Meetings of local Jewish people are now held in private homes or public facilities. The Passover or “Pesach” has been observed in recent years at Bendigo’s National Hotel. The community is a member of the Bendigo Interfaith Council and when needed, a visiting Rabbi will come to Bendigo for a particular service or occasion. Copies of the book are available from the Bendigo Historical Society, PO Box 2309 Mail Centre or visit www.bendigohistory.com

BEST CHOICE: Eucalypts on One Tree Hill.

Dog Gully, now renamed Autumn Gully. A “residence area” was a quarter acre of land that could be marked out and then occupied by any holder of a miners’ right. Many houses on the goldfields in former times were constructed on residence areas, which were a very economical way of obtaining land to build on, a nominal rent was paid for the privilege. The Extended Red White and Blue Gold Mining Company which WG Blackham represented, drew the attention of the councillors and the council administration to the fact that his company was about to be hemmed in by these residence areas. Mr Blackham was concerned that access to the mine may become impossible with the large numbers of residence areas having been taken up. It was important for the council to have a road proclaimed that would run from the Back Creek (Quarry Hill) Cemetery all the way to Dead Dog Gully – now known as Masefield Street. In mid 1899, Councillor Herbert Keck with the council’s Clerk of Works Mr Brennan had ridden over the ground in question and worked out a route for the

yet to be proclaimed road. Back at the council table Cr Keck moved to have the road protected and then proclaimed. Mr Blackham and his fellow directors of the Extended Red White and Blue were grateful for the council’s action. Those who know Masefield Street would be aware of its tortuous route. One Tree Hill was in the Strathfieldsaye Shire, councillor Richard HS Abbott lived on Tannery Lane, the hill was behind his property. Cr Abbott wished the council to take some action in respect of “the tree” on One Tree Hill as it was dead, and should be replaced. He thought that the tree should be an exotic and therefore be more attractive than the natural vegetation growing over the area. Cr William J Lowndes was a man ahead of his time, he along with Herbert Keck thought that the native eucalypts were best suited to grow on the top of the hill. It was agreed that a single existing tree should be selected and protected so that it could grow to full maturity and therefore “preserve the individuality of the place”. Herbert Keck along with a council officer were to go to the top of One Tree Hill and select the most suitable tree.

ith spring now eventually here, it will soon be a busy time for the region’s gardeners according to Paul from Epsom Complete Garden Care, with last minute weeding and soil preparation among the many jobs needing attention. Paul can take care of all your garden tasks, big or small as well as regular garden maintenance. As a qualified and experienced arborist he can also advise you on what trees to grow and how to maintain and prune them for best results. Paul not only listens to what you want for your garden but also offers professional advice as to what plants would be suitable, regardless of season. “Gardening is such a personal thing, I

listen to all my clients, so we can work together.” Paul can take care of all your regular garden maintenance including lawn mowing, weeding, planting and pruning, even rubbish removal, as well as those special one-off jobs. And with his stump grinder always at the ready, he is also an expert stump remover. Paul says the more consistently you work on your garden, the less overwhelming the jobs. Paul charges reasonable rates and is always happy to come out and provide a quote. So to get your garden into shape for spring, phone Paul from Epsom Complete Garden Care on 0418 355 898.

So if you are seeking a professional and simple approach to your tax and accounting needs, look no further than Wellington Tax. Karen says the winners this year are small business entities with the recently announced instant asset write-offs, for assets costing less than $20,000 exclusive of GST. This has been extended to businesses with a turnover of less than $10 million. “You have until the end of June 2018 to make this purchase.” “This can also be claimed if your depreciation pool is less than $20,000 at the end of the year,” Karen said. Karen also warns all employers they also have to be ready for Super Stream. “It does take time to set up but once set up it only takes a few minutes each time.” There are also changes regarding motor vehicle expenses. There is now a reduced kilometre rate of 66 cents for motor cars, up to a maximum of 5000 kilometres Karen said.

“Clients can use this rate or the log book method where you need to keep all receipts associated with your vehicle and claim the percentage that is work related.” “There is also a major change for 2018’s financial year where you now cannot claim travel expenses to your rental property.” Further changes include the administration of MyGov, where from now on your tax agent will not be receiving your assessment notice in the mail. The Australian Taxation Office will instead be sending it directly to you electronically. “If you decide to lodge your tax return through MyGov you may be missing out on deductions that you are entitled to,” Karen said, while explaining that as a tax agent, she keeps up-to-date with the latest developments. “And if you claim family assistance you must lodge your returns for the previous financial year by the end of June, otherwise Centrelink will not pay the full family assistance entitlement.” Wellington Tax 28 Waterford Drive Strathfieldsaye Phone 0409 859 449 www.wellingtontax.com.au

Chester

English Staffy x Terrier

Chester is a very loving boy looking for a nice home. Chester would need to be an only pet so he can have you all to himself! He is very affectionate, loves cuddles and to be around people. Chester is not yet desexed but will be when he finds his forever home. He loves a daily walk and home with older children would be ideal as littlies can be a bit overwhelming for him.

Desexed male, 3 years

Butch is very confident and loves the company of people. He loves his food and a smooch, but he prefers to approach you on his own terms rather than to be picked up. He would be best suited to a home without small children as their cuddling movements may be too much for him. Butch is inquisitive and exploratory, so he would benefit from a secure home where he is kept safe and sound.

Storm rolls into finals

Bridgey bid for eight straight

By JOEL PETERSON

THE scintillating recent form of Strathfieldsaye has the Storm primed to break its duck against Golden Square when the sides square off in Saturday’s night’s Bendigo Football Netball League qualifying final. Since losing to Eaglehawk in round 12, the Storm has won each of its six games by at least 90 points, conceding a maximum of 60 points in that span while kicking at least 150 in every match. Its last two wins have been the most impressive, thrashing a hapless South Bendigo in round 17 before completely dominating Kyneton on the road in as significant a statement as you’ll see on the eve of finals. What’s more, it has to fslotJayden Donaldson, Josh Formosa and Ben Lester into the side that belted the Tigers, and Brad Rohde is also pushing for a recall. “We envisaged that those three guys would be there for selection, we rested them with the mindset that they would likely come back in,”Wilson said. “It’s a good place to be, I think there will only be a handful of blokes from the whole list in seniors and reserves that won’t play at the weekend which is not a situation we’ve been in the last few years.” The model of success for the Storm this year is different to years past. Maintaining a stillstingy team defence, this year’s side has far more firepower. “I think a lot of that is just quicker ball movement, we’ve

LODDON Valley powerhouses Bridgewater and Calivil United have set up yet another grand final encounter, with the clubs’ senior football sides to fight for the LVFL flag tomorrow. Both of their two recent encounters have been thrilling affairs, Bridgewater prevailing in both after trailing for much of each game. The Mean Machine earned the week off as they aim for eight consecutive flags after defeating the Demons in the semi final, but Calivil flexed its muscle in disposing of Newbridge last week. Bridgewater will be without ruckman David Harrison, a big loss with Nick Hall and Josh Metherell going up against Demons star Chris Down. The battle of key forwards will also be enthralling, with league leading goalkicker Bryce Curnow at one end and long-time Bridgewater spearhead Alex Collins at the other. The reserves grand final will also feature Bridgewater and Calivil going head to head. In A-grade netball, Mitiamo clashes with Pyramid Hill for the 2017 flag. The Jenny Clohesy-coached Superoos have made the decider for yet another season, while Pyramid Hill returns to the big stage after almost not fielding a team last season. Saturday’s grand finals will be held at Serpentine, with Pyramid Hill and Maiden Gully YCW doing battle in the under-18 football from 10.30am in the first game of the day.

HIGH HOPES: Strathfieldsaye meets Golden Square in the qualifying final tomorrow.

been more efficient in that regard,” he said. “We think our back six is pretty set and our ability to put pressure on the ball has been good, that ability to put scoreboard pressure on is something we identified.” In both matches against the Dogs, Strathfieldsaye has been largely outclassed, but it was a 46-point thumping in round 11 that left its mark. “They’re a good side, they did a number on us last time and although they don’t have Travis

Baird their midfield is still very strong,” Wilson said. There are still pressing concerns for Square, which will go into the finals without its leading goalkicker in Baird, as to how it can manufacture a winning score. In Sunday’s elimination final, Sandhurst’s resurgent hopes go on the line against a Kyneton side left reeling after a performance that was nothing short of inept last weekend. The Tigers will need so bring more – or some – intensity if they are to challenge Sandhurst, rein-

vigorated by the return of key personnel and a small-ball forward line including Andrew Collins and Kristan Height as key targets. In A-grade netball, Gisborne plays Golden Square in the qualifying final and Eaglehawk plays Kangaroo Flat in the elimination final on Sunday. Sandhurst finished top of the table and will play the winner of Saturday night’s qualifying final. Saturday night’s senior football begins at 6pm, while Sunday’s game is at the standard time of 2.20pm.

Hockey sticking around TRANS-Tasman rivalry will hit Bendigo in November when international hockey makes its return to the city. The national men’s team, the Kookaburras, will play New Zealand in two International Festival of Hockey tests on November 5 and 6, while the Hockeyroos will also be in town to play the USA. The clash for the national women’s side serves as a leadup to their two tests against the top-ranked Netherlands in Melbourne. New Zealand’s men’s team, the Blacksticks, is ranked eighth in the world. Australia played India in a successful two-test series last year, blooding a host of youngsters after a disappointing Olympic campaign. The series ended 1-1, with India winning the first match convincingly before the Aussies hit back, winning the second 4-3. The Bendigo hockey complex played host to big crowds during both games, held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The Wednesday fixture attracted about 1400 people. This year’s games will be held on Sunday and Monday nights, with the Monday seeing two games played with both the Kookaburras and Hockeyroos in action. Garden Gully will again host the tournament, with the facilities no doubt impressing organisers last year.

The Australians will then go on to face Japan and Pakistan over the following week in Melbourne. “It is wonderful that our community can come and see some of the world’s best hockey players right here in Bendigo,” mayor Margaret O’Rourke said. Tickets are available for purchase through Ticketmaster.

Title in Lady Braves’ sights From Page 36

ON THE RISE: Carlie Smith starred against Launceston.

With Blicavs, former Brave Charlie Brancatisano and Bendigo Spirit’s Ebony Rolph among the line up, the two sides are very familiar to one another. “I think I’ve coached every one of them at some point,” Goodman said. “They’re a great group and they play so well together, that’s what’s difficult to combat. But I think our group has that quality too. “Sara has been hard to stop both times, but the players around her are just as important because they feed off each other so well.”

The two results earlier in the season serve to guide both sides as to their approach toward the other, but Goodman said the result of those games won’t be addressed. “I don’t think we really showed up either time, as good as they were we were the complete opposite and didn’t bring an effort close to what we needed to,” he said. The challenge is getting the same level of performance they captured last weekend. Both teams have battled adversity – Geelong losing Alex Bunton to another injury while Chloe Bibby won’t feature for Bendigo.

Energy in the group is high, as the Lady Braves aim for their first title in 10 years. For Geelong, it’s the first time the relatively new side has contested a national final. So what’s the key if Bendigo are to do what the Braves men did last year and win the championship? Goodman says attitude will play a big part, and disrupting the run-and-gun style of the Supercats. “We’re going to try and be as disruptive as we can, as I’m sure they’re going to be,” he said. The match starts at 5.30pm at Kilsyth and will be streamed via seabl.com.au

The final quarter

A pleasant surprise IT’S always nice to be surprised, and even flat out wrong at times. In the case of the Bendigo Braves and Lady Braves this season I’ve been nothing short of both. Before the SEABL campaign began I expected the Braves to do well and the Lady Braves to disappoint. In truth, it could hardly have been a more disappointing campaign for the Braves and the men’s program faces a few big decisions in the offseason. For the Lady Braves, it would be hard to have been more impressive. Especially compared to a squad that had underachieved in previous seasons. They started off with a barnstorming few weeks, rocketing to 7-1 out of the blocks. Showing themselves to be a group reinvented around defence, the impressive start has just rolled on into a consistent model of play. They’ve had hiccups along the way and some breaks in their favour, but enduring all has been a telling factor. Every club would love to be able to add Chante Black as a second import and then have Kelly Wilson fall into their laps after the season had started. The Lady Braves have backing both financially and organisationally that is the envy of plenty of clubs, but you have to make the most of it. I don’t think there’s an argument against the fact that this year coach Jonathan Goodman has done exactly that. Whether or not they win on Saturday, it’s been a successful campaign by most of the measures. They’ve brought players in, but locals Jess Rennie, Ahlise Hurst and Maddie Wild have all had more opportunity this year and have all earned that time. Tahnee Cannan has stepped up, Wilson has steadied the group with her leadership and Bianca Dufelmeier and Carlie Smith have been consistent performers. And then there’s Jane Chalmers, who was spectacular in their conference final win and continues to do all those things that have made her a much-admired part of local basketball for many years. They play a Geelong team that will enter the game as favourites having smothered Kilsyth last week and smashed the Lady Braves in both their encounters this season. But Bendigo has shown enough this season to prove you can’t write them off in any game. And maybe they can provide one final surprise to cap off their year and claim that elusive title. It’d be nice to be wrong again. – Joel Peterson Twitter:@joelbpeterson

A super contest By JOEL PETERSON

MAY the best team win has long been a very sporting attitude towards grand finals, but Bendigo Lady Braves coach Jonathan Goodman thinks playing as a team may be the intangible element critical to his side’s South East Australian Basketball League final. The Lady Braves face the Geelong Supercats in tomorrow’s SEABL final, a battle of the league’s two best teams in the truest sense of the word. While others around them took the individual honours, the Lady Braves and Supercats were – Sara Blicavs aside – conspicuous in their absence from the end-of-season awards. Yet here they are in the grand final, a testament to the chemistry and depth of both. Goodman described Bendigo’s win over Launceston last week as a consummate team performance, saying every player who hit the floor contributed. Jane Chalmers starred, Carlie Smith played her best game of the season and a defensive performance just as good as the offence led Bendigo to victory. “I don’t think anyone would argue that Jane played out of her skin. She’s usually passing the ball and doing the valuable stuff lots of people don’t see, but she was simply brilliant for us,” he said. “I thought Smith was terrific, Jess Rennie came in and played well, Ash Rininger off the bench, Dufelmeier was solid defensively... I couldn’t really be critical of any of them, it was a great performance.” While Bendigo was good, Geelong’s performance was even more imposing. The Supercats smothered Kilsyth, holding them to only 17 made shots in their conference final and a paltry 43 points. Bendigo has struggled mightily against Geelong this year, beaten by more than 20 points in both games. While the Lady Braves have no match-up for Supercats star Sara Blicavs – and aren’t alone there – Geelong’s overall length and energy pose big problems for most teams. Continued Page 34
