Disability Enterprise employees on tenterhooks as council puts waste recycling program out to tender By ROSEMARY SORENSEN THE Disability Enterprise that manages recycling services for Greater Bendigo council is fighting to keep its contract. VATMI, which merged with Sandhurst Enterprises in 1986, has held the contract for Recyclable Collection in Bendigo for the past decade. It employs 37 people, most of whom have disabilities, in its plant on Piper Lane in East Bendigo Council has called for tenders for the contract. The deadline for lodgement is Thursday, July 25. The tender document rates “Financial benefits – relative cost to council� at 50 per cent of the

evaluation criteria. “Social procurement outcomes�, which means the “creation of positive social outcomes�, is rated at 10 per cent. Businessman and disability service advocate Leon Scott said high competition from compa-

Greater Bendigo council is currently developing a Waste and Resource Strategy to tackle the rising cost of management, and to “respond to a shifting view to see waste as a valuable resource�. The provision of garbage and recycling collection accounts for more than 10 per cent of the total council budget. The number of household recycle bins has risen from 42,250 n 2009, to 46,950 in June this year. As well as demonstrating experience and capability, tenders for the recycling contract are required to show they partner with local businesses and suppliers who are based in Bendigo and the “immediate neighbouring municipalities�.

Flare up over gas

By rosemary sorensen THe company installing natural gas in Huntly have defended their pipeline plan, in the face of concerns many homes and businesses in the rapidly growing area will miss out. “SP Ausnet is scheduled to extend our natural gas network to an estimated 580 Huntly homes and businesses by late next year as part of the State government’s energy for the Regions program,” marketing manager Jonathon geddes said. “A proposed route for the underground piping was completed

using an economic efficiency method, with a focus on the densely populated areas of the town. “Homes or businesses outside the initial route have the opportunity to connect to natural gas.” Real estate agent damien o’Shannessy raised concerns about the rollout, when the map showing where underground pipes will be installed was published by SP Ausnet. He said it should be an all-in policy, that takes into account new subdivisions and older houses. “You get a one-off chance at this and bendigo is supposed to have an environmental charter to

provide clean energy. “it looks like areas that fall below the numbers are not going to have access, but if you take the whole Huntly area, the numbers are there and natural gas should be available to everyone.” Kim Martin lives in the area bordered by Station Street and o’Sullivans Road where the pipeline plan does not extend. She is concerned the plan bypasses established areas for new subdivisions further along the main road. “When we moved here, we were told we’d have gas in five to 10 years, now we hear it’s going to

miss us,” Ms Martin said. “i don’t know how they can come up with a plan like that, if some in Huntly are getting it, then all of us should have it.” Mr geddes said residents whose streets are not on the pipeline route should let gas retailers know they want the connection. “We encourage them to get together with their neighbours and others in the street to register an application to a natural gas retailer,” Mr geddes said. “The energy retailer will then contact SP Ausnet to assess the economics of the mains extension.”

Early starters get ready for full-on Tan By rosemary sorensen bendigo youngsters were a step ahead this week, taking part in Shaun Tan-themed workshops at the bendigo Art gallery. in the lead-up to a groundbreaking exhibition which will open next month in association with bendigo Writers Festival, children created shadow art and their own landscapes in the style of the artist. it was a prelude to a Family Fun day, on Saturday, August 10 at the bendigo Art gallery, when there will be full-on Tan and a chance to tour the new show which is cocurated by the gallery, and Sarah Mayor Cox and Paul Morris from La Trobe University in bendigo. Shaun Tan: the real and the imaginary is an exhibition of original artworks including childhood drawings, horror and science fiction work, landscapes, as well as works from his award-winning picture books, including The Rabbits, Tales from Outer Suburbia and The Arrival. “Painting from life is important to the foundation of Tan’s practice with half of his attention fixed upon producing work inspired by everyday suburban landscapes and the other half spent drawing fictional characters in imaginary worlds,” bendigo Art gallery curator Clare needham said. “Through the exhibition, audiences can look forward to gaining a greater understanding and appreciation of the breadth of Tan’s practice and career to date, as well as his ability to create artworks of technical skill.” Ms needham said the exhibi-

By anTHony raDForD gReATeR bendigo council is considering creating a deputy mayor position for the first time in its history. if it goes ahead, councillors will vote for both a deputy mayor and a mayor in late october. So far, there are at least four councillors in the running to be the next mayor, with at least one keen to be deputy mayor. Current mayor Lisa Ruffell said she was considering asking for another term. “i have enjoyed the role so far and i am considering nominating again,” she said.

“i will wait and see who else puts up their hands before making a final decision.” Lockwood Ward councillor barry Lyons said he would again run for the top job, in his fifth year on council. “i ran last year so i will this year,” he said. “i thing everybody who becomes a councillor wants to be in the top job at some point.” Whipstick Ward councillor Peter Cox said he was also considering a tilt at the mayoralty. “Certainly, there needs to be strong leadership in relation to the independent review,” he said. “There are childcare, aged care and waste strategy reviews happening now, so it is all about strong leadership and new directions and i want to be a part of all of that.” Stalwart councillor Rod Fyffe also said he would run again. Whipstick Ward councillor James Williams said he would throw his hat into the run for the deputy mayor’s job. “i will be interested if we create the deputy mayor role,” he said. “it will be an honorary position that will give a bit of support to the mayor. “it would provide support to try and balance things out and help manage the position of mayor.”

THE GREAT DIVIDE: Bendigo residents pip Ballarat’s by a couple of grand when it comes to contributing to the economy.

For what it’s worth

WE have known it for years, but now we have proof – a Bendigonian is more valuable than a Ballaratian. We are also worth more to our economy than a Geelong resident is to theirs, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. According to the 2011 census, Bendigo’s economy is worth a touch over $4.042 billion. With 97,150 people of working age in Bendigo, each Bendigonian is worth $41,608.08 to the city’s economy. Ballarat’s economy is about $1m larger, at $4.043 billion, but has 101,930 of working age, making each Ballaratian worth $39,669 to its economy. Bendigonians also have

it over Geelongians, with each city-by-the-bay person worth $41,242 to its economy. Bendigo mayor Lisa Ruffell responded cheekily to the information. “I always knew we were superior to Ballaratians, and here is the evidence,” she said. “While we have a lot in common with the cold folk, we see ourselves as rivals. “This report highlights what we always knew, Bendigo is better than Ballarat, and our locals are worth more.” The data formed part of the Regional Australia Institute’s Insight report, which researched the status of Australia’s regions and their prospects for development in the future.

While we had it over Ballarat in the economic stakes, it was ahead in most other areas. Almost 57 per cent of Bendigo’s adult population did not complete Year 12 according to the report, compared to less than 53 per cent of Ballaratians. Only 17.6 percent of Bendigonians of working age have university qualifications, compared to 20 per cent of those from the colder clime. In other educational sectors, Ballarat also pips us at the post. About 23 per cent of Bendigo’s children are developmentally vulnerable on one or more domains, with Ballarat’s percentage at 20.6 per cent. About 37 per cent of Bendigo’s primary school

children are in the top two bands for reading, writing, spelling, grammar, punctuation and numeracy. Over the hills in Ballarat, that figure is more than 40 per cent. Our secondary school students do slightly better, with almost 25 per cent in the top two bands, compared to Ballarat’s 23.8 per cent. Bendigo’s strong economy is underpinned by an unemployment rate of 5.2 per cent, lower than Ballarat’s 5.8 per cent Our youth unemployment rate of 10.6 per cent is below Ballarat’s 12.5 per cent. In other areas of the economy, Bendigo’s skilled labour and welfaredependent rate is almost identical, as is internet and broadband connectivity.

View Street precinct parking changes fail to please all

No clear solution

By ROSEMARY SORENSEN

COMMUNITY consultation requested by Greater Bendigo councillors shed little light on the View Street precinct parking problems. And despite council staff concluding that the installation of angle parking was not widely supported, an alternative motion proposed by Councillor Peter Cox was passed which supports the change. At the May 29 council meeting, a motion was passed asking council staff to “consult with organisations and residents in the study area”, in order to receive feedback on the proposal to change parallel parking out-

side Dr Harry Little Pre-School to angle parking and restricted parking. Councillors also asked for community response to the proposal to relocate a bus stop to allow for more parking, and to change parking times.

signatures and a 140-signature petition from the Pre-School. Summarising all the responses, Mr Martini said, “It is clear that whilst there are concerns with the current arrangements in the area, there is not a solution that will meet all needs.

There were mixed views from ... residents in regard to changes from parallel to angle parking At this week’s council meeting, Manager of Engineering and Public Space Brett Martini reported 164 letters were sent outlining the options. He reported 19 responses, including a joint letter with 10

“In particular, there were mixed views from adjoining residents in regard to changes from parallel to angle parking and changes to parking restrictions.” As a result of the additional consultation, council staff rec-

ommended council vote to reduce the time allowed for parking in 12 bays and to relocate the post box away from highdemand parking areas. They also recommended “possible changes to the school bus pick-up and drop-off arrangements”. The alternative motion put to council included the requirement to change six parking bays from parallel to 13 angle parks. The cost of the change is estimated at $20,000 as it requires a change to the kerb at Barkly Street. Changes to signage and line marking, estimated to cost $5000, will now go ahead in View Street.

A leaf out of her book KIM Fitchett is not someone who has always yearned to punt and handpass, but she is someone who wants girls to have that chance if they want it. “I’m just about the most nonphysical person you could imagine, but I love football and sport, and I’ve sat on the sidelines all my life,” the Bendigo-region author says. “I used to go to the footy a lot, when my husband worked for the RACV and I’d catch a tram to the MCG, sit up the top of the stand, and that was when I had an idea to write a book for girls. “There’s Specky Magee (by Felice Arena and Garry Lyon), but there was nothing for girls, so it was always in the back of my mind.” Mrs Fitchett’s opportunity came when she enrolled in the Bendigo TAFE professional writing course. “I had to write a story for the course, and that was back in 2009, and what with one thing after another, and a few health problems, it took quite a long time,” she says.

Mrs Fitchett says women’s football is developing well now, with teams like Bendigo Thunder showing girls how it’s done. She says the big-money AFL could learn a lesson by remembering what it’s like at grass-roots level.

“They need to take a leaf out of the women’s book,” she says. “Those women are playing against the odds, and that means they are more determined and have more passion. “For them, it’s not about money, they are there for the game.”

“Ground disturbance may affect the archaeological significance of the place and […] requires a permit.” According to the report, the occupation of the site for 60 years by the Defence Department has not damaged the older buildings. “Generally the purpose-built Defence structures do not impact on the Lansellperiod fabric,” the report says. “Fortuna has been well maintained and the physical condition of the landscape and built elements is generally good.” A spokesperson for Heritage Victoria said a hearing will only be held if submissions are received opposing the registration. Greater Bendigo council also this week agreed to develop strategic objectives for the heritage management plan of Fortuna, “to ensure any development is economically viable and sustainable”. In the report to council, Heritage Architect Megan McDougall said, “council will be required to advise Heritage Victoria on the protection, control and redevelopment of the site.” Council will now develop a position on what is possible, to work with the owner in assuring “appropriate redevelopment”. “Council will determine what use is possible through the rezoning process,” Ms McDougall said in her report.

THE Heritage Victoria proposal for the Fortuna site includes permit requirements for the addition of any new buildings. The recommendations went to the Heritage Council last month, following settlement on the sale of the historic building to local entrepreneur Paul Banks. The site was previously covered under Commonwealth heritage listings, and is also covered by a heritage overlay in the Greater Bendigo planning scheme. The Heritage Victoria proposal is now open for comment until August 26. It recommends registration of the entire site, excluding the bush block fronting Chum Street which is on a separate title. “All the registered buildings are integral to the significance of the place and any external or internal alterations are subject to permit application,” Heritage Victoria’s proposal states.

ing venture this year by holding a Trivia night tonight (Friday) in Bendigo. In their first two years the group has raised $22,000 for the Make A Wish charity and have upped the target for 2013. “We are well on the way to reaching our target of $20,000 for this year’s run,” manager of Vantage Fuels, Chris Richardson said. “We’ve just passed the $10,000 mark.

Citizenship. One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support. From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia? DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

What does it mean for people with a disability? 1 Day Workshop Practical ideas and tools for families and staff. Date: July 18, 2013 Place: YMCA Building, Flora Hill Cost: $100 professionals; $50 families

Past and present students, alongside family and friends were welcomed by BrIT Koori Liaison Officer, Barry Fary, who described the students as far more than statistics in a system. “When Koori people come in here and learn and gain in confidence, they are not just a number,� Mr Fary said. “They are individuals who in many cases had no confidence in the past to be able to achieve at school. But if you look around this room today you will see many people who now have very good jobs because they had the courage to come in here and have another go at learning.� BrIT CEO, Maria Simpson agreed with Mr Fary when she said that every student is valuable. “We have a commercial model we have to work with at BrIT but that impact of learning on an individual’s self-work is inestimable and BrIT endeavours to support the Koori community as

Bendigo Health CEO John Mulder said the agreement is a significant step towards the general improvement of Aboriginal Health. BDAC CEO Joanne Badke said they have been working towards the agreement for the past two and half years. The agreement stems from the Children, Youth and Families Act which, according to Ms Badke, provides a framework to promote children’s safety, wellbeing and development. Figures released from BDAC show approximately 60 Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander babies are born in Bendigo every year.

EARLY STARTERS: All ages were on hand for the flag raising. much as possible.� Koori Education has been fostered by BrIT for more than 20 years. In February of this year a new Koori Unit was established in Chapel Street which features three classrooms and a computer laboratory. Mr Fary said that courses currently

DIGGING IN: Greens candidate Lachlan Slade is chipping away at the major parties.

A consistent tale By ROSEMARY SORENSEN KNOWING he won’t win comes with a certain freedom for Greens candidate for Bendigo, Lachlan Slade. “The realistic way to run the campaign is that it’s not going to happen, me winning, but knowing that, I can pave the path, and that’s going to do me well into the future,� he said. “At the risk of sounding religious, we’ve got to spread the good word.� Mr Slade is only 27, but he’s already got one campaign behind him. He ran in the 2010 election, in Shepparton. “That was an experience and a half,� he said. “There was no Greens branch in Shepparton, so I was going it solo, I just wanted to provide an opportunity for people in the area to vote Greens if they chose to.� Up against the Country Alliance, he says he was surprised by some of the nastiness in the election lead-up, but it gave him a good grounding in political campaigning. “Some of the rhetoric against the Greens was bile,� he said. “It’s always volatile whenever there is significant change and that’s what people are confronting. “What I learnt from that campaign is, don’t take anything personally, that’s number one. “I’ve developed a tough skin, even though I know I’m intuitive and emotional at times. “It’s important to just dive in and do it.� Mr Slade was brought up in Mooroopna, the eldest of three brothers. His dad was a graphic designer who has worked in the film in-

dustry, his mum a former bus driver and staunch union worker. Educated at Notre Dame in Shepparton, then university in Wodonga and Bendigo, he now works as a social worker in Woodend, with Cobaw Community Health. “I don’t work at the crisis end, but in health promotion,� he says. “Some of the things I have seen have hit me for six.� Yes, he is religious, he says, but it was his Catholic college’s course in

The rhetoric against the Greens was bile comparative religion that introduced him to the faith he found suited him, Buddhism. “When I read about Buddhism, I said, this is me,� he said. “I’m not devout, but a lot of Buddhist philosophy shapes how I see the world. “In Buddhist thought, there’s no retribution, but there’s suffering.� Mr Slade now lives in Castlemaine, with his partner, also a social worker. They are planning to marry in January. His campaigning is seat-of-thepants style, not only because he has to fit it around his day-job, but also because his budget is modest. At the last election, the Greens candidate was Kymberlie Dimozantos, who is

now the state campaigns manager. She polled 12 per cent, which was better than the national average for the Greens, so Mr Slade is aware he has “big shoes to fill�. “Kymberlie campaigned really well, getting around to many community groups,� he said. “Ideally, I’m aiming for 15 per cent, and I might be mad to say this, but one day, Bendigo could be a Green seat. “There’s still a lot of misconception about what a vote for the Greens means, and I want people to know it’s never a wasted vote. “I would like to see us better at selling our economic credentials.� For his own future, he said he’s confident his social work degree has given him a good background in many issues, and he continues to read broadly, to understand the rapidly changing world around him. “I think we’re only just beginning to understand what climate change is going to mean, how more bushfires and floods is going to mean more environmental refugees,� he said. The label he’d like to put on himself is “passionate community member�, partly because he knows politicians aren’t much respected by an electorate he believes has disengaged. “It’s too much about personalities now,� he said. “And politics is seen as beyond the reach of too many Australians. “We’ve got a good economy, but the majority is not engaged, and part of the blame are the messages put out there. “Whether I like it or not, I am a politician, and what’s most important for the Greens is consistency.�

Steps taken to repair Boardwalk

FINE VOICE: The Euro Fest Choir is ready to entertain.

ONE of Bendigo’s most popular buildings is in need of some urgent structural work. Greater Bendigo council will spend up to $25,000 this financial year for works to the Boardwalk Cafe at Lake Weeroona. Council Building and Property Services manager Andy Walker said the council-owned building needed frequent works done to get it through its new six-year lease. “There is structural damage to a few of the poles,” he said. “There are termites and deterioration because of the condition of the water. “We might only end up spending $15,000. It depends on how much it has deteriorated.” Mr Walker said there were no safety concerns with the building. “Eventually there will be some future works and thinking around that area,” he said.

PRIDE OF PLACE: The Dragon Chariot of Ten Thousand Sages.

Chariot a special gift A RARE gift has taken pride of place in the Golden Dragon Museum. The Dragon Chariot of Ten Thousand Sages, carved from Serpentine Jade, is believed to have been used during the grand birthdays of Emperors, Empresses and Empress Dowagers during the Qing Dynasty. Ministers and officials would use this type of chariot to pay homage to Royal birthday celebrations. A similar chariot is on display at the Lujhou District Forbidden City Museum in

New Taipei City in Taiwan. A welcome addition to the Golden Dragon Museum’s collection, the gift from Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority is 2.8m in height and weighs about 2.2 tonnes. The chariot is heavily decorated with Chinese symbols comprising 256 dragons, 39 phoenixes and 64 bats. It also features 74 strands of beads. It was housed at the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney before its 2006 relocation to Darling Harbour’s Chinese Garden of Friendship.

Firefighters’ cover EVERY day, our CFA volunteer and paid firefighters put their lives on the line for us. Yet firefighters and their families are not protected. When they get sick because of their work it is almost impossible for them to access Workcover protection that other workers do. To change this unacceptable situation the Greens introduced Fair Protection for Firefighters legislation in February and six months later the government has failed to act. When Greens MP Adam Bandt introduced federal laws to protect firefighters he had the support of all parties – Greens, Labor, Liberal and the Nationals. We should have the same here in Victoria. Tell us Mr Drum, will you support firefighters and their families in your electorate? Will you commit to legislating fair protection for them when parliament returns in August? Patricia Radley, Daylesford

Wood burners STARVE the lizards, Anthony is on the warpath again. Still printing articles

about the damage wood smoke may do to your health. No mention of the damage to health and the environment when the local fire authorities do a controlled burn whenever they feel like it. And I wonder if he sent a strongly worded message to the Indonesian president who allowed palm oil farmers to burn hundreds of acres of green forest, which resulted in most of Singapore being shut down. And I guess most wood burning people would do so at night, so therefore most other people would be inside. So what is the real problem? Peter Tharle, Bendigo

Where were they? IT was very disappointing that neither Lisa Chesters nor Greg Bickley attended the recent Rural Australians for Refugees (RAR) “A Fair Go For Refugees� seminar. In fact, there was no “major party� representation there at all, save for Harvey Stern of Labor for Refugees, whose sad task it was to expose the vast differences between official ALP policy platform and the reality of an increasingly punitive, inhumane

and internationally embarrassing Labor Government stance on asylum seekers. Congratulations must go to the Australian Greens upper and lower house candidates – Janet Rice and Lachlan Slade respectively – who not only attended, but contributed much in the way of constructive, progressive and humane policy proposals which would fulfil our obligations towards refugees and asylum seekers under international law, rather than continue the current bi-partisan abrogation of them. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

No need for Abortion Clinic “CHOICE move on clinic� published Bendigo Weekly June 14 is the seventh article about the closed abortion clinic in Bendigo. I think it a bit strange that despite the clinic being closed for so long we don’t see people protesting in the street, we don’t see women dying, we don’t see women being rushed to hospital. All we seem to see is a radical left wing feminist making a noise about it and that’s all. Ron McMillan, Castlemaine

opinion By TED COLEMAN AT the special council meeting to receive the Independent Review Report, councillor Barry Lyons spoke in his usual no-nonsense way. He said despite initial opposition to the Review, he now sees benefits for Greater Bendigo. His positive attitude sets a standard. The Report’s 69 recommendations hold “lots of opportunities� to dramatically lift council performance and deliver results for all residents. Only a few provocative issues have been reported. Over coming weeks it’s hoped councillors and the media will properly digest the report, then, inform the public about the real improvement possibilities. Surely no one could argue against recommendations that save time and money in areas such as: Customer complaints handling; financial reporting and transparency; planning scheme permits and amendment processes and facilitating the development and finalisation of the waste strategy. The report offers insight into serious issues which, if council fails to address them, increases

our future financial burden. Examples: un-coordinated projects; managers not understanding financial goals; poor liquidity and capital replacement forecasts; under-expenditure on asset renewal and maintenance; poor financial analysis for projects like the multi-storey car park; lack of new capital works policy; standard procedures for investment decisions and inconsistent processes to assess staff performance – a critical driver of productivity. Even the council’s annual report is identified as too complex to understand. $10 to $15 million of annual savings and productivity improvements are possible, depending on the extent to which council implements the 69 recommendations. That puts paid to those who claimed “existing [internal] reviews and specific independent reviews [...] are considered adequate, and the cost of a wideranging review is not warranted�. The report abounds with good ideas like an independent research officer for councillors to an entrepreneur-in-residence to create business opportunities. The well argued recommen-

dation, to separate the City Futures Directorate – Economic Development, Tourism, Art Gallery, The Capital, and Major Events – into a separate cost neutral entity would, alone, save $7 million a year. Council’s decision to conduct the review was a wise one. In a short time-frame the review committee and consultants, Aurecon, did a pretty good job. Given extra time I’m sure they would have found even more improvement opportunities, but 69 recommendations is a great start. The review achieved what the 2011 residents’ petition sought: residents, councillors, and staff working together searching for ideas to improve council, while endorsing present areas of best practice. My regret is the daily newspaper’s poor performance in not promoting the review and, so far only highlighting peripheral matters and ignoring the positive benefits. It is also a pity some were reluctant to be involved. Only one private business is recorded as making a submission. Let’s back our councillors to implement the opportunities the review has offered.

Value of NAIDOC Editorial Comment THERE was a time in our not so distant past when Bendigo’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait people were barely conspicuous. In fact their faces were so rarely seen, and their voices so rarely heard that many people could be forgiven for thinking that Aboriginal numbers in Bendigo were miniscule. It has only been over the past 20 years or so, with the advent of both federal and state legislation, regarding land rights and reconciliation, and the evolution of events such as NAIDOC Week that local indigenous people have felt confident enough to joyously and publicly celebrate their Aboriginality. On a local level, NAIDOC Week has proved a vital focus for a public celebration of Aboriginal culture. While once a fairly lowkey affair, a glance at this week’s NAIDOC calendar reflects a busy week of opportunities to recognise important partnerships between government agencies and Aboriginal and Torres Strait people.

PK with

PETER KENNEDY

HATS OFF: Ken Jones during the celebration.

One such event was the signing of an agreement between Bendigo Health and the Bendigo District Aboriginal Co-operative. Two and half years in the making, the agreement represents a holistic approach towards healthier outcomes for Aboriginal people during pregnancy, birth and the post natal period. It is one of many initiatives and programs designed to close the notorious gap which exists between indigenous and non-indigenous people when it comes to health issues. A closer look at the NAIDOC Week calendar also reveals

another important relationship that exists in our community – this time between education faculties and the Aboriginal community. The Bendigo TAFE Koori Unit has functioned as a distinct entity for more than 20 years. During that time the Koori Unit and Bendigo TAFE have been instrumental in making many Aboriginal people feel comfortable, for the first time in their lives, in an educational setting. That family groups, including young and older people, participate in programs together reflects a particular aspect of Aboriginal culture

whereby family support and encouragement can overcome years of rejection. Many Aboriginal people have graduated from the Koori Unit to further education and jobs, which represents a significant economic outcome for Aboriginal people. This awareness of Aboriginal culture in relation to educational institutions is also extended to the primary and secondary schools in Bendigo where positions such as Koori Liaison Officers and cultural programs for staff give Aboriginal staff a stronger chance of success. Apart from BDAC, organisations such as the Bendigo Local Indigenous Network Council, which held a community consultation during NAIDOC week, are also indicative of a stronger community more equipped to take on the issue of self-determination. Perhaps the greatest aspect of NAIDOC Week, which has grown from strength to strength, is the public acknowledgement of our Aboriginal community. Not only are culture and achievements celebrated, but general attitudes towards our indigenous people are finally becoming more a little more enlightened.

What price children’s safety? NEXT week, thousands of children will return to school from the holidays, with a large number of them going on buses that do not have seat belts. Victoria and New South Wales are the only states not to have a formal policy on mandatory seat belts for school buses, so recent comments by Victorian Transport Minister Terry Mulder that this could be set to change are welcome. The Victorian government has announced details of a plan to modernise the state’s school bus fleet over the next almost 20 years, but the process will not be easy. Already, there are concerns the scheme will take too long to implement.

I was born about the same time seat belts became compulsory in Victorian cars, and in far more recent times there’s been a lot of talk about the need for more safety on our school buses. In 2007, then Prime

It’s not acceptable for this debate to continue to drag on, and bus companies that do a wonderful job of transporting our children are carrying a layer of responsibility and risk that needs to be alleviated.

The central issue to this debate is that money should never come before (children’s) safety Minister John Howard announced details of a $40 million “Seatbelts For Kids” retrofit program for buses which was meant to improve safety on about 1600 buses over four years. The program was heavily under-subscribed, and involved less than 300 buses.

There are other complicating factors at play in this issue, and given that crowding of school buses is a fact of life at least in our own region, more buses, and therefore, even more money, may well be required to transport our kids once seat belts are installed on local

school buses. The central issue to this debate is that money should never come before safety, and it should be our children who remain our primary focus. I’m not sure what happens to monies allocated to a program that are not spent, but when improved safety is the purpose of that funding, it should be spent. Perhaps a joint state and federal government funding program would be a sensible way to bridge the gap and deliver safer transport for Victorian school children as soon as possible.

Planning in limbo

STATUS QUO: Council has rejected the Mandurang Valley report. By ROSEMARY SORENSEN GREATER Bendigo council’s rejection of a report proposing limitations on development in Big Hill and Mandurang Valley has put the project in limbo. “The decision was surprising, given the degree of support shown for the project,” Director of Planning and Development Prue Mansfield said. “We will now need to hear from them (the councillors) whether there is anything we need to do. “Obviously, we’re reflecting on what happens next.” The project to create a Landscape Assessment Report for Big Hill and Mandurang Valley began in January 2012, with a

draft made public in September. Submissions received were then incorporated into the final report, with some councillors taking part in a bus tour of the study area in April this year. The project, which

The decision was surprising, given the degree of support shown cost about $85,000, prepared a working assessment of the significance of the landscape. Its goal was to “develop a planning and management response to how [the landscape] may be affected by change in the future”. Rated “high priority”, the report was created for

seemed to be that the proposed area covered went further south than people expected, but no one has defined how far further south,” Ms Mansfield said. “The majority (of submissions) were supportive, and we have been at pains to explain this is not about whether you devel-

op, but how you develop. “The question about whether a new suburb is developed south of Bendigo, and whether we need more greenfields development is one that needs to be discussed.” Ms Mansfield said that following the rejection of the recommendation to adopt the Landscape Assessment Report, the situation in Big Hill and the Mandurang Valley will not change. “If it had been adopted, the strategy would have been to make some changes to the planning controls, but if council doesn’t change the planning process, then it’s currently the status quo. “This does not mean new towns can now be built.”

MOVING UP: Bendigo Property Plus has relocated to Kangaroo Flat.

Real estate on the gateway in search of more space, Bendigo Property Plus found what they were looking for in Kangaroo Flat. “We have been expanding rapidly as a business and needed more space for employees and meeting rooms,� director nathan Diss said. “We recognised an opportunity to be the first agency a buyer driving from Melbourne will see. “We believe being the

only agency on the main highway gives us a great opportunity to catch people’s eyes.� Bendigo Property Plus moved from premises on Mcivor Road north of Bendigo to the southern gateway of Kangaroo Flat last month. Their new premises are on the Lockwood Road corner where the Calder Highway becomes High Street. Mr Diss said they have already found swapping

from one side of town to the other has advantages. “The best part has been plenty of parking, having supermarkets, chemists and a massive variety of foodshops in the Kangaroo Flat shopping strip,� he said. “Kangaroo Flat is the gateway to Bendigo, and with so many sporting facilities, including the new indoor pool at the leisure centre, it is a great place to live.�

Craft in store

A COMPANY that was once part of Bendigo’s retail mix is returning to its roots, with the imminent opening of a new store in Kangaroo Flat. Lincraft craft shop will open its doors in the Rocklea Homemaker Centre on High Street on July 29. Marketing manager Jeff Croft said for people who remember the old store in the city centre, this will be a nostalgic new beginning. “Certainly because of our history in Bendigo, this was something we have planned to do for a while,� Mr Croft said. “We were originally just a fabric store, now we have made a great craft shop, tailor-made for Bendigo. “We know the craft population of the city is as good, if not better than any in the world, tal-

full range,� he said. “It’s also good to see the Centre being put back together, it’s a great location.� Lincraft, which will employ up to eight staff at its new Bendigo store, began in the 1950s, becoming Lincraft Australia in 2005 under current owners, John Maguire and Brian Swersky.

“No one knows more about makeovers than us,� Mr Maguire and Mr Swersky said. “We’re looking forward to a grand opening with all the trimmings.� The Rocklea Homemaker Centre is also welcoming Freedom Furniture, which will open in the premises vacated by Clive Peeters electrical early last year.

CRACK SHOT: Sharnna Walker.

SHARNNA WALKER of Huntly recalls her father once telling her to never again touch a firearm after she almost shot him as a child. Thankfully that didn’t stop her from a career in the Army and representing her unit at the world’s largest military marksmanship competition. The 20-year-old, full-time solider was one of only six female shooters amid a field of about 350 marksmen from 17 countries at the Australian Army Skill at Arms Meeting held recently at Puckapunyal. “My dad never wanted me to touch a firearm after firing

his and shooting the ground about two metres in front of him,� she said. But Sharnna soon realised she was a natural when she undertook recruit training at Army’s First Recruit Training Battalion at Kapooka, NSW. “When I got to Kapooka shooting was just really natural, I just love it,� she said. After growing up in Huntly and graduating from Bendigo Senior Secondary College in 2010, Sharnna enlisted in the Army and is posted to Darwin’s 1st Aviation Regiment as a storeperson. While at AASAM Sharnna took the opportunity to head

home to Bendigo to visit her mum, Sharon, dad, Geoff, and brother Sam and sister Jess. AASAM is the Australian Defence Force’s foremost international shooting competition attracting military competitors from across the globe. Sharnna was one of only four women in the competition and the only female in her 15-member shooting team. She came equal 15th in the 300m shoot, equal third in the 450m shoot and was placed 91st overall. Sharnna was also placed 45th in the pistol aggregate.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, July 12, 2013

An eye for the future In our series on the never-before published Allan Doney photographs from the collection of James Lerk, this week we focus on the importance of the Doney collection in saving Bendigo’s heritage buildings. By DIANNE DEMPSEY

AS attested by some of the denuded heritage buildings around Bendigo, the city councillors in the early 1960s seemed to have a particular phobia. The phobia was about cars hitting veranda posts; veranda posts collapsing on their own volition, and worse still, the possibility of being hit on the head by falling statuary. One of the most graphic examples of the city’s violation by its elders was the case of the Bendigo courthouse. If you look closely at the Allan Doney photograph on the far right you will see a young man sitting precariously on the balcony of the rooftop. While we may be amazed by the lack of safety precautions, the boy is not the subject of the photograph. Next to him you will see a steel chute. His job and that of his team is to knock the statuary down from the courthouse – before it fell on someone’s head. You can imagine how horrified

1960s to save the city’s buildings. A particular example of the Trust’s intercession was the use of Doney’s photograph of the former Cumberland Hotel on the corner of Williamson and Queen Streets which emphasised the intrinsic beauty of the veranda and its relationship to the building. “Allan became obsessed with technical excellence in his photographic work,� historian James Lerk said.

Doney was and how anxious he would have been to capture the vandalism at work. Such was Doney’s appreciation of the city’s architecture and his concern for its preservation, photographs from his collection were used by the Bendigo Branch of the National Trust in their submission to council in the early

His photographs were a key element in putting the breaks on the municipal vandalism.� Allan Doney died in 1987 in the Anne Caudle Centre, the subject of many of his photographs.

It enlisted the help of five local, wellknown chefs who mentored students from three local schools with each session hosted and filmed by year 10 media students under Jamie’s direction. Episode one features local chef Brendan Tuddenham (Kidz in the Kitchen) guiding five teams of grade six students from White Hills Primary School as they prepare a chicken schnitzel. Each team also included a year 10 hospitality student from Weeroona College acting as team captain. Hosted by Rachelle Talbot and Brooke Dwyer, and filmed with the help of Weeroona College Media students, the episode was filmed in the college’s commercial kitchen.

Responsibility for our own wellbeing IN THE FRAME: Media students from Year 10 Weeroona College The show promotes the cooking and eating of healthy food from natural ingredients.

I LOVE you Bendigo but I’m frightened for us as a community – on many levels. I’m frightened that our excellent health system will fail us, I’m frightened that our children will start experiencing horrible health issues. I’m frightened that teenagers and young adults will be diagnosed with illnesses that in the past were restricted to the elderly and inactive, I’m frightened that young mums will not grow old enough to enjoy their grandkids. I’m frightened that dads will not see their sons become fathers themselves. Alarmist? If the old adage “statistics don’t lie is true� then definitely not. In fact, I know plenty of professionals in health-care and fitness who share my concern. Recently, I had a prolonged stay as a guest of our fantastic health system. I was brought to tears by what I saw. I saw people who were not only in and out of hospital with chronic conditions because of their own lifestyle choices, but I saw people who were in for routine conditions that became complicated and in some cases, life threatening, because of those choices. If you think only smokers, drug and alcohol users endanger their health, think again. Smokers have made way for the overweight and obese, in alarming numbers. More than 70 per cent of Bendigonians are now classed as overweight with the last survey (taken two years ago) putting 56.9 per cent of us in the “obese� category. Our excellent local system is already straining under the load. It’s only going to get worse over the coming years as more of our overweight population is diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Bendigo, I love you but, you have to change. We all have to take responsibility for our future – the government isn’t going to wave some magic wand and fix it. Small changes make all the difference. There is no magic pill, potion or diet. What works long term is small changes to lifestyle habits that deliver long term and sustainable results. Seek the help of a reputable professional – like your GP or an established health and fitness service provider – if you need to. But please Bendigo just change. - Sue Walton, Contours Bendigo

In his own words

Life in a hostile world A MEMOIR by a man who has suffered “every manner of physical, emotional and sexual abuse and neglect”, was launched yesterday in Bendigo. Michael Whatham’s So I Hit Him is the story of his life, from the time he was born in Manchester in England, with multiple disabilties, and not expected to live, to his triumphant success in getting an education and writing his book. Suffering from Asperger’s, Michael says it was that which enabled him to survive in a hostile world, enduring punishment and abuse. He came to Australia as a child, but later fell into alcohol addiction. According to one of his teachers at La Trobe University Bendigo, Ian Tulloch, this memoir is a compelling story. “The proudest moments of my academic career involve those students who succeed academically, yet come from incredibly deprived and, at times, pretty

COMPELLING: Michael Whatham breaks the mould. wretched backrounds,” Mr Tulloch says. “These students break the mould that so often imprisons their counterparts to lives of poverty and misery. “Michael Whatham is one of these people.” Mr Whatham now works as a motivational speaker, and is also enrolled at La Trobe as a PhD candidate. He lives in Kerang, where he also runs a bookshop. So I Hit Him: Surviving Life as an Institutionalised Alien, was launched at La Trobe University’s Phyllis Palmer Gallery.

THERE was a time when Australian biography appeared to be in the doldrums. It just didn’t seem as though we had either writers capable or subjects interesting enough. In 1996, benefactors Geoffrey Cains and Michael Crouch decided to do something about this odd situation. They established the National Biography Award, which has been administered since 1998 by the State Library of New South Wales. The first winner of the prize was Abraham Biderman, for The World of My Past, a self-published memoir written about escape from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The next prize went to Roberta Sykes, one of Australia’s very few indigenous authors, for her memoir Snake Cradle. Peter Robb, Jacqueline Kent, Don Watson, Barry Hill: the roll call continued down the years, with the most recent prize going to Martin Thomas for his book on anthropology, The Many Worlds of RH Mathews. On this year’s shortlist, announced this week, is a book that

shows just how wide the genre can stretch: James Button’s Speechless: A Year in my Father’s Business. Mr Button will be at this year’s Bendigo Writers Festival next month, in a not-to-be-missed session on speechwriting (with Margaret Simons and Dennis Glover). Part of his book details how he was employed by Kevin Rudd, in the brief period when he was Prime Minister for the first time, to write speeches. The result was dispiriting for Mr Button, who found himself pondering his own father’s career as a politician. He will also be speaking about family on a panel at the writers festival, sharing the session with Monica Dux, who writes about motherhood in her new book, and Ben Law, who wrote about his family in his first book, The Family Law. Also on the shortlist

is Robert Drewe, whose book, Montebello is about his journey to the islands off the far west coast of Australia, which the British used to test nuclear bombs in the 1950s. Peter Fitzpatrick’s The Two Frank Thrings is a father and son biography, both of whom were enormous characters in Australian theatre and film history. Jenny Hocking’s Gough Whitlam continues that authors list of major political biographies, while Rachel Robertson’s Reaching One Thousand is a memoir about her son’s autism. Bendigo Writers Festival is also recognising the importance of this topic with a panel about mind and behaviour, which includes Jo Case, whose Boomer and Me is also about living with an autistic child. The National Biography Award winner will be

Shaun steps in

SHAUN KIRK, described by Buzz Magazine as “one of the finest blues voices this country has ever heard�, will complement a host of other talented acts at the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival’s latest showcase event on Sunday, July 21. Ewes, Brews, Stews and Blues is Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival Showcase number four. The award-winning troubadour has brought his soulful grooves and robust vocal range to all the major blues festivals since first picking up the guitar at age 16. Now he’s set to ignite the festival’s fourth showcase for 2013 at the Goldmines Hotel. This year has been huge for Kirk with his album Thank You for Giving Me the Blues making it to number one on the Australian

Blues/Roots airplay charts. In March he shared the bill with the music greats Robert Plant, Ben Harper, Santana and Xavier Rudd at the world famous Bluesfest in Byron Bay. Kirk, the St Kilda Festival’s reigning Best New Artist champion, will join the likes of Benny Walker, festival regular Bones Blackwood and Archer and The Long Gone Daddies at the festival’s spiritual home of the Goldmines. Nearly seven hours of tunes will kick off from midday across several stages including the intimate Billroy’s Blues Bar in the cellar, and the Courtyard, which is fast becoming one of the city’s iconic music locations. Combined with the best in Victorian Craft beer thanks to Bendigo Beer and speciality lamb

Festival Director Colin Thompson said Ewes, Brews, Stews and Blues is an event which is unique to the region. “The four-way partnership between a sensational venue in the Goldmines Hotel; Bendigo Beer who bring culture and responsibility back to the idea of enjoying a drink; the magnificent cuisine highlighted by the good folk from the Festival of Lamb; plus a top class line-up of local and visiting musical talent make this an event that truly has something for

Labor pains at lunch Sleepy Nick and Steve mingle with the pollies

ALBO was in Bendigo last week so I thought I’d step out for lunch with him. Acting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was on a whistle-stop tour of Bendigo with Lisa Chesters spruiking the party line, but they do have to eat so Sleepy Nick and I suited and booted up for the trough. I had a chat with Nick and decided smart casual was the way to go as it was a Labor lunch, no blue ties for me. Come Friday and Nick turned up looking like a wayward spiv from a dodgy market, vest and red tie and black suit made him look as dapper as they come. I had gone for the more sober check sports jacket and dark pants with a loudish tie to spark things up a bit. Nick outclassed me from the start and once the picture of us was posted on Facebook the internet lit up with the wit and wisdom of friends and colleagues alike. I thought I’d get in early to hold back the melee, admitting I was seriously in

the shadow of Nick. But one of the kindest described us as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Anyway, with my sartorial confidence shattered we headed off to meet the acting PM. The gathering was held at restaurant 18eightyseven at Bendigo TAFE, and very glamorous it was too. By this point I was shadowing Nick so as not to be seen in public in my casual

outfit. Scuttling in his wake, I was relieved when we found the venue and had our name ticked off the list. We were let in early and found our place near the top table awaiting the guest of honour, Albo and Lisa had been off playing tennis and launching things, so were a little late. But the mayor and Jacinta Allan were on time, along with the city’s finest, and Nick and me. Albo had headed off controversy by wearing a black and white tie, and Lisa was wearing her campaign red coat, so my casual look

was somewhere in the middle of the mix. Lisa and Jacinta and Albo spoke to us through the clatter of knives on plates and it was a joy to hear the comments of a toplevel politician without the heckling of the opposition or the editing or questions of a radio or TV journalist. For that fact alone it was worth going to the effort and minimal cost of going to the lunch, even if Nick did end up by asking whether I had borrowed my jacket from a scarecrow.

Dear Dotty... Dear Dotty, I love getting my back scratched but everyone in the family is sick of it. I’ve tried bribing them as in, “Mummy will buy you a new PS3 game if you scratch her back “, but they now fold their arms and turn away from me in disdain. Any suggestions? Heather Dear Heather, I myself can often be found rubbing my back up against brick walls. I totally understand your frustration. I’m sure there must be hundreds of us closet backscratchees out there. I have a huge collection of back scratchers at home – those bamboo things – but it’s not quite the same as a human touch is it? I think there is a definite market for a back scratching salon. After all if people can set up shop as Brazilian waxers, surely someone out there can offer 10 or 20 minute back scratches? Imagine the bliss of being able to say, “Now just over to the right, up a bit, no down to left, nearly there, just right.” And they can’t complain because you are paying for it. Dear Dotty, I read that Prince William and Princess Kate will probably have a part-time baby sitter when the stork arrives. Do you think that’s a good idea? Surely they need more time to attend to their royal functions? Worried, Sue-anne

Dear Sue-anne, I am sure his Royal Prince Highness William and her Royal Princess Highness Kate Middleton the First will be just dandy. Don’t forget Betty and the Duke are semi retired now and have plenty of time on their hands. The young couple just have to ring up and say grandmaaaaaaaa, can you baby sit tonight, pleeeeese? There is always the danger the kiddo might get eaten by a Corgi but I think the olds are a safer bet than Chuck and Camellia who are, I believe, a bit fast. Dear Dotty, I love my wife very much but she went to a personal development workshop. That wouldn’t be so bad but along with wearing glasses with brightly coloured frames and starting up a business selling heritage door knobs, she is also trying to change me. So far she has thrown out all my singlets and my favourite woolly cardigan. Ruffled, Ron Dear Ron, That’s a bit rich that is. I’d fight back I would. Why not take to hitching your trousers right up, better still, take to wearing track pants and hitch them up under your armpits.

National Diabetes Week is held annually to raise awareness about diabetes. The event aims to educate the community about diabetes risk factors and how they can be prevented. Diabetes is a 21st century pandemic affecting an estimated 370 million people worldwide. In 2012 the worldwide cost of diabetes was estimated at $500 billion and there were 4.8 million diabetes related deaths worldwide according to the International Diabetes Federation. The western pacific region has the highest prevalence of any region in the world. There are 92 million people in China with diabetes and more than 160 million in the western pacific region. “On current trends diabetes will become the number one

Nearly 100,000 Australians developed diabetes in the past year burden of disease in Australia in the next five years. Type 2 diabetes currently costs the Australian community $14.6 billion a year,” Diabetes Australia CEO Professor Greg Johnson said. “This will double to $30 billion in 12 years if we don’t adopt stronger approaches to preventing diabetes and its complications.” More than 1.5 million Australians are affected by diabetes with 280 Australians diagnosed every day. Nearly 100,000 Australians

developed diabetes in the past year. “There is no such thing as ‘mild’ diabetes. All types of diabetes are serious and can lead to complications. For example heart attacks and strokes kill people with diabetes early and are four times more likely in people with diabetes,” Professor Johnson said. The Australian Diabetes Council focuses on the prevention of diabetes and its complications with a specific spotlight on a particular complication to coincide with National Diabetes Week. The Council publishes a handy booklet annually which explains in-depth about particular complications associated with diabetes. Diabetes by Ages and Stage is this year’s publication which follows on from last year’s Diabetes and a Heathy Heart.

The face of diabetes

T

HIS year Diabetes Australia will be promoting the National Diabetes Strategy during Diabetes Awareness Week which runs from July 14 - 21. This promotion is aiming to encourage the government to agree to a national diabetes strategy to help halt this epidemic as well as effectively treat those living with diabetes. What does this mean to the Loddon region? It means that we will continue to have diabetes on the radar, in all the health services and government organisations within this region. Diabetes is fast becoming the highest disease of burden both financially to the states and emotionally to those who travel the road with this disease. The complications of diabetes are

well known, from heart disease through to the graphic amputations, which occur as a result of poor management or the natural progression of the disease. Eye complaints and Kidney damage are just two more of these common complications. So, if you are one of the faces of diabetes and you have lived with this condition you already know how hard the road can be. If however, you do not have diabetes but there is a strong family history of it, or you had it during a pregnancy, then you have a chance to turn the stage around by assessing your risk and maybe even stopping it from developing altogether. The Life! Program is developed to help reduce the risk of type two diabetes,

heart disease and stroke. By simply completing a questionnaire to assess your risk, and if you have a score of 12 or more then contact a health service near you to find out about the Life! programs on offer. This might stop you becoming The Face of Diabetes in the future. Life! Programs are run at Inglewood and Districts Health service, Dingee Bush Nursing Centre and referral through to Northern District Health by Boort Health service. As part of Diabetes Awareness Week, Inglewood and Districts Health Service are running supermarket tours in Wedderburn and Inglewood on July 16th for the general public. For more information please ring Inglewood & Districts Health Service on 5431 7000. Static displays will be on view at Boort and Dingee centres regarding diabetes care and promotion of The Face of Diabetes.

Paused retrieve worth a try to entice a strike FLY FISHING

JOE SINGE

T

HE smiling face of Steve Charles conveyed the joy of fishing at Tullaroop Reservoir last month with a nice brown trout. There have also been reports of catches of trout from Tullaroop by lure fishermen recently. The trout have been difficult to hook-up as they have a habit of following, but not taking, a lure only to turn away when the angler lifts the lure out of the water to recast. The best colour lure has been green. A trick often employed by fly fishers is to vary the retrieve, stopping or slowing the retrieve in the hope that the trout will grab at the lure once the movement is stopped or slowed. Steve caught his fish on a green woolly bugger, a not so glamorously named fly but along with black, a very effective fly. The trout have not been showing on the surface as they are feeding deep. Fly fishers have been using

sinking or sink tip lines to get the flies down deeper before retrieving their fly. With the action at Tullaroop slowing over the past few weeks Steve fished Cairn Curran Reservoir last week with his father Tom. On a relatively calm day fish were seen rising. This time it was Tom’s turn to land a trout. Noticing a rise in casting distance Tom flicked a small brown nymph into the rise. He was rewarded with a small brown trout. I have heard other reports of small brown trout being caught along with a trout of about 1kg (34cm) by anglers trolling lures in Cairn Curran. These anglers also caught a number of redfin perch that had been feeding on smelt. This is certainly a promising sign. The presence of smelt means that there is a good supply of food for the fish in the reservoir. There have been no reports of trout being caught at Barkers Creek Reservoir. Water is still flowing into the reservoir and it is hoped that once the weather and the water level settles there will be some action there.

HAPPY ANGLER: Steve Charles with his recent Tullaroop brown trout.

ELSON on the Glenelg River between Portland and Mt Gambier was the destination of choice for 15 anglers of the Bendigo Legion Angling Club last month for an extended long weekend. Although most members found fish with varying levels of success finding legal-sized fish was another matter. However, the variety of species on offer certainly ensured most anglers will gladly return. Bream, estuary perch, mulloway and a solitary whiting kept members occupied with a variety of angling techniques. Under-sized bream were plentiful, especially on bait later in the day for those that persevered. Several legal-sized estuary perch were angled by Anthony Griffith and John Telford casting lures and plastics. Wayne Symons and Brian Eisfelder managed to find the occasional undersized or schoolsized mulloway with vibes and plastics Other members were content bait-fishing catching plenty of under-size bream for the occasional keeper. At the other end of the state Trevor Yates had ventured to Mallacoota for the fourth round of the Victorian Bream Classic where torrential rain made the going difficult. Picnic Point at Mathoura on the Murray River is the destination for this month’s trip on July 20 and 21. Members will be hoping for a

NICK ATYEO late season Murray cod. See the BLAC newsletter for more details. Thirty interested anglers were present at the fourth annual local Recreational Fishing Regional Forum, held last month at Gateway Rotary Park, High Street, Kangaroo Flat. Previous forums have proved to be a great success with a significant number of anglers present and this year proved no different. These forums are an ideal opportunity for anglers to voice their concerns about recreational fishing in Victoria and learn more about what Fisheries Victoria is doing to improve fishing opportunities. DEPI director of fisheries management Anthony Forster was present and presented an informative oversight into the department’s planned long-term strategy and took questions from the floor. Local Fisheries officer Greg Brodie was also present and reiterated the importance of the 24hour fisheries offence reporting line 13 FISH 13 3474 to help reduce illegal netting and poaching. Fishing personality and former test cricket legend Merv Hughes was also on hand to add some variety to the evening and offer some insightful information into Australia’s current Ashes campaign.

HERITAGE MATTERS

Bushfire brigades begin By JAMES LERK

FEBRUARY 6, 1932 will be remembered as an important date for the Woodvale district, as it was then that the first meeting was held to establish their Bush Fire Brigade. As happened elsewhere in towns and cities it was a calamitous fire that precipitated the formation of a fire brigade as a means of being better prepared for any subsequent events of a similar nature. In the past weeks I have recounted a number of fires in our fire-prone state of Victoria, the most disastrous of which was the Black Thursday fire of February 6, 1851. However, there were many serious fires that caused immense damage. Following the 1926 fires, some Melbourne businessmen turned their attention to form the Melbourne Bush Fire Brigade. This new body was to be responsible for the suppression of fires within a 100 kilometre radius of the city. The hope of this new organisation was to build up a force of some 2000 volunteers. In 1928 a conference was held to discuss equipment standardisation and fire fighting methods. Gippsland was next to wear the brunt of major bushfires in 1932, and 26 lives were lost, this event brought home the fact to

the urban population, that the volunteers not only gave of their time but also provided their own equipment to fight these fires. There was also a realisation that the Bush Fire Brigades should be on the same footing as the Country Fire Brigades who relied on levies on landholders and donations. Farmers, before the harvest in November, usually gathered together to check their equipment, perhaps do some burning off particularly around homesteads and machinery sheds in order to create fire breaks. With the gradual introduction of tractors and other similar combustion engine powered machinery, there existed the risk of fire from some of this new equipment. Crop paddocks which were ready for stripping were often first ploughed around the fence line in case of an ignition during harvest, in the hope that the fire would then be restricted to just that particular paddock. 1937 and 1938 was the time of one of Victoria’s worst 20th century droughts, the year following in its wake were bushfires almost on the same scale as that which decimated Victoria in 1851. On Black Friday January 13, 1939, a fire devastated 69 sawmills, 700 homes, a hospital, 10 guest houses, and 71 people perished.

JACK RILEY: Woodvale Fire Brigade’s first Captain. The Stretton Royal Commission followed on the heels of the 1939 fires and among its findings were, that no particular body was really responsible to fight these fires. The other glaring fact to be revealed was that no one really took the lead. These 1939 fires had been attributed to the prolonged drought, abnormal weather conditions, and the immense amount of fuel on the forest floor. It was pointed out at the Commission hearings that in the past the aborigines periodically burnt the forest to clear away the undergrowth and litter. With this fire management at appropriate times

of the year the aborigines made it possible for them to hunt and travel safely by night. The Forest Commission had at that stage control of the forests on Crown Land, they had neither the resources or the skills to do what the aborigines successfully managed for scores of millennia past. With the parlous economic situation following the Great Depression and then the commencement of World War II in Europe there was no action taken by the government on the findings of the Stretton Royal Commission. There was, however, the fear that the enemy could use incendiary devices to create bushfires as a means of thwarting the war effort. In 1943, the worst year perhaps of the war, there were almost 600 Bush Fire Brigades, and about 59,000 volunteers, however, many of the younger ones were involved in the war effort in one capacity or another. 1943 was also an important year on the local scene as the Campbell Forest, Raywood and Woodvale Brigades formed the Raywood and District Bush Fires Brigade Group. These and other fascinating facts are revealed in the book, Celebrating 80 Years of the Woodvale Fire Brigade 1932-2012, by Helen Hickson and available from the Eaglehawk Post Office.

ICONIC: Fortuna will be brought back to life

New life for Fortuna THE report to Greater Bendigo council puts it plainly and clearly: “Fortuna is a marvellous, fascinating icon for Bendigo and beyond”. Heritage Architect Megan McDougall prepared the report as background for council as it prepares for the next era in the grand old mansion’s history. As she points out, its protection now transfers from federal to state care, with Greater Bendigo required to advise Heritage Victoria, particularly in its role as overseeing any rezoning that will have to happen, as owner Paul Banks prepares to bring the site back to life. Ms McDougall puts the retention of heritage values high on the list of the strategic objectives, along with the determination to “support contemporary and creative re-use of the site”. As she points out, the building began modestly in 1861, but was gradually

Caring volunteers needed THE Baptcare Home-Start Bendigo home visiting family support program is currently looking for new volunteers to join its wonderful base of current home visitors. The program, which celebrated its fifth birthday working with Bendigo families in May, provides home visiting mentors who support the emotional and practical needs of young families in the local community. Over the past five years, 48 trained mentors have worked with more than 100 families and their children providing weekly in-home befriending and support. The program is now in need of new volunteers to join these wonderful people and become part of the

Home-Start family here in Bendigo. “We need more people who are willing to give two hours a week to work with families here in Bendigo,” coordinator of the Home-Start Program Jane Worthington said. “For the parents they engage with this gentle oneto-one companionship which means so very much.” Recruitment for the next preparation course for new volunteers has started with a course commencing in August. If you have two hours to spare and this sounds of interest to you Jane would love to hear from you. Phone 5441 1047 for more information.

enlarged “into a sprawling mansion of a size and grandeur with few rivals.” She notes the “extravagance” of its design, not just the building but also the gardens. “The whole of Fortuna is unique and considered a cultural landscape because of the creative interaction of the domestic and mining landscapes through the use of the redundant mining spaces such as settling ponds and tailings in a residential garden,” she says. “The Fortuna mining and crushing works, close to the villa and George Lansell’s control, represents a direct link between his wealth and its source.” The 60-year Defence era, too, has become part of this brilliant Bendigo site. It might not be as sumptuous or luxurious, but the adaptation of mining buildings for mapping and printing processes are part of what makes Fortuna great.

Chills become thrills

A true culinary experience A NEW experience in Chinese cuisine is awaiting diners at the fully licensed New China restaurant in the heart of Bendigo. A new menu and new chefs along with new management are sure to bring more flavoursome varieties seven days a week. Available for dine-in or take-away with a new improved menu designed around their new chef’s favourite dishes. “We now have the two best chefs in Bendigo with David and David,” manager Ken Mistica said with a grin. “They will take Asian dining to a new level with a selection of dishes from throughout Asia, along with our extensive renovations that are just being completed to bring a new level of

genuine oriental dining.” Both chefs have international experience and have brought their expertise to Bendigo for us to enjoy. Choose from northern Chinese cuisine renowned for its exotic spices enhancing flavours or the more traditional Malaysian Cantonese style. Sample the coconut butter king prawns, Thai fish salad or spicy beef rendang among others. The popular Friday and Saturday Karaoke night remains with a revamped private Karaoke room available for private functions. The New China at 1 View Point, Bendigo, open for lunch and dinner seven days – except Saturday lunch. Phone 5442 2377.

BIRTHDAY parties in winter can be a challenge for parents. Mike and Kathy Fields from Paint N Fun sure know this with a July birthday for their six-year old. “It can be tough, you can’t rely on good weather and even if you fluke it – it’s so cold outside.” Kathy said. “Mums and Dads really love having a sure-fire solution,” Mike said. “With face painting, balloons and magic shows we can make an indoor program the kids are guaranteed to love.” Mike first performed for children over 20 years ago when he worked at a Summer Camp in America. “Just like the movies, kids from New York City can be a handful, so I learnt pretty quickly that

a genuine interest in kids works best. That made it a whole lot more fun. Kids get pretty loud at my magic shows. I like to put in a cliff-hanger trick where the room suddenly goes silent in anticipation. “A couple of minutes later they are screaming with laughter again at the finale of the show. “Last weekend at a magic birthday, the fiveyear-old birthday boy came up afterwards and gleefully commented: you were so funny. At another recent party, as Mum handed over the payment she commented: that’s the best money I’ve ever spent.” If you want to know how to turn tantrums and tears into big smiles and cheers, call Mike on 0466 987 621 or visit www.paintNfun.com.au or www.MisterMike.com.au.

AGLEHAWK Hire is very pleased to offer two additional pieces of machinery for hire. One is the versatile and compact S70 Bobcat. Because it is small it can be used, for example, on house sites and around the farm. The S70 (1.3tonne) Bobcat has a 22.5 hp engine which powers a fully hydrostatic 4-wheel drive system. It is easy to load onto a trailer and travels at 10km/h. Other features are a smooth ride, excellent side and front visibility and an easy to use instrument panel. The other piece of machinery for hire that is proving very popular is their Wacker Neuson 1.5 tonne excavator. Described as compact but spacious, the excavator has a cabin with a generous size which gives the operator room to move. This solid piece of equipment is great for digging, laying pipes, trenches or landscaping.

tHUNDEr sEttlEs oN top spot THe Bendigo Thunder has top spot in the Victorian Women’s Football league’s north West division locked up heading into the club’s round 13 clash with north Ballarat this weekend. Bendigo faced one of its toughest tests of the season last weekend, when it was pushed all the way by secondplaced Sunbury, before prevailing 7.12.54 – 3.3.21 winners in its final home game this season at dower Park. With only five points separating the two sides at half time, the Thunder came out after the long break and kept Sunbury scoreless while kicking 3.3 of their own to set up the team’s 12th win of the season. The Thunder takes on north Ballarat this Sunday at Ballarat’s learmonth Recreation Reserve, from 12pm. Bendigo defeated the eagles by 97 points in round three, before storming home to win by 33 points in round nine at eureka Stadium.

WIlsoN sIGNs Up Bendigo SPiRiT guard Andrea Wilson has re-

signed with the club for the 2013/14 season. it was announced this week that Wilson would return for another season, to play alongside sister and Spirit star Kelly, who is yet to officially sign with the club. Andrea, the younger of the Spirit’s Wilson sisters, is one of only two players to play full seasons with the Spirit in each of its six years in the WnBl.

tEams cHasE fINals bErtH TWo finals hopefuls in Sandhurst and golden Square will do battle at My Jet oval on Saturday, in round 13 of the Bendigo Football league. Sandhurst kept their finals hopes alive by thumping South Bendigo last week, while golden Square defeated gisborne by virtue of a goal after the siren to James Bristow – in his first game with the club since returning from Peel Thunder. Kangaroo Flat host eaglehawk, Castlemaine do battle with Strathfieldsaye, Maryborough tackle gisborne and South Bendigo’s reserves and under-18 side take on Kyneton.

Gold seeks solid base By JOEL PETERSON

Bendigo gold coach Aussie Jones has called on the Bendigo community and greater Bendigo council to get behind the fledgling club as it searches for a permanent home base. off the back of two encouraging performances against Frankston and Port Melbourne, Jones said one of the club’s pressing needs was a facility to call home. Currently splitting training between the Queen elizabeth oval and epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve and playing home games at the Qeo, the gold have no dedicated facility at either ground, something Jones and the gold are hoping for. “in terms of our off-field stuff, that’s probably our number one priority,” Jones said. “To be able to have our own revenue-generating stream would be very, very high on the agenda of the board.” AFl clubs Richmond and Western Bulldogs will next year join essendon, geelong and Collingwood as teams with their own development sides in the VFl. This will put the pressure on standalone clubs such as Bendigo and Coburg, who have no revenue stream

HOMELESS: Coach Aussie Jones. through ventures such as gaming, to stay afloat and recruit players. “We certainly have the ability to be in the VFl, but we don’t have the ability to prosper in the competition without our own base, a home and a consistent income,” he said. “People think we’re probably propped up by AFl Victoria, but we only get our allocated amount, so we really need the support of all members and stakeholders in the community.” Jones said the recent per-

formance of the ever-improving side has been pleasing, as have the crowds getting to the club’s games. “obviously our crowds against the big clubs like Collingwood and essendon were fantastic, but even on days when we’ve been going up against Bendigo footy we’ve had great support,” he said. “We know we’ve got a limited number of people to attract when there’s a clash, so along with pushing our Friday night games we might take some games out to more

regional areas like Swan Hill next season and show those areas what VFl footy is all about.” The gold was dealt an off-field blow this week, after assistant coach Mark Adamson accepted to coach the Kyneton Tigers’ senior football side through its foray back into the Bendigo Football league next year. Adamson’s first task will be recruiting players for the remainder of this season, before taking the reins at Tigerland for both the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

In the groove

Neil in final eight

By JOEL PETERSON

SILVERWARE: Bendigo was the winner.

All-Stars blitz the field

Bendigo’s first and only competitive cheerleading teams, the Bendigo Blitz All-stars, took home their first competitive silverware at the weekend, after competing at the Australian All star Cheerleading Federation Winterfest competition. More than 2400 competitiors from 182 teams across the country attended the event, with Bendigo’s open 14-and-over team takling home third place in its division. A team of 31 cheerleaders across senior, junior and youth teams represented the Blitz, all of whom worked hard for their first taste of success, according to coach Kim Manallack. “i was particularly proud of all our girls today, as we have been working toward this competition, and the commitment from the girls has been immense,� she said. The Blitz are also the official cheerleaders of the Bendigo Braves and Bendigo spirit basketball teams. For more information on the Bendigo Blitz All stars, contact Kim Manallack by emailing info@cheerndance.com.au.

The Bendigo Lady Braves will get a potential seABL east conference grand final preview this sunday, when they hit the road to take on the dandenong Rangers The Lady Braves and Rangers are currently the top two teams in the east, Bendigo on top with a 15-4 record while dandenong are only one game behind at 14-4. The last time the two sides met, dandenong won a thrilling encounter at Bendigo stadium 59-60, but after a 14-day break the Lady Braves will be fresh and intent on ending the Rangers’ undefeated run at home this season. “We’ve found a groove, and everyone has been stepping up in the last few weeeks to fill the holes that we’ve had at different times,� Lady Braves guard and reigning seABL Most Valuable Player Renae Camino said this week. “The girls have done such a good job with the players going in and out. We’ve had Jane Chalmers out and Bec Campigli, too, and we’re still waiting on elyse, so to keep winning through all of that has been great.� Camino, who recently returned from the Australian opals’ tour of China, believes Bendigo match up well against the Rangers, both of them being smaller line ups. “We’re confident we match up well against them, because they’re a smaller team like us, but they’re certainly pretty tough,� she said. “if we want to go far into the finals we’re probably going to have to beat them at some stage, and if we fight hard on the rebounds and play as a team i think we can do that this weekend.� Meanwhile, the Bendigo Braves will be looking to extend their winning streak to 17 games in a row, when they face dandenong following the Lady Braves’ battle. After coming away from a daunting road trip to Mount gambier with an 89-86 win, the Braves will go in as favourites to take down the

3From Page 48 however, the dubliner’s dreams of advancing to the quarter final stage were crushed when he went down to dominic dale in the second round 2-5. defending champion Barry hawkins also had an easy run through to the second round after thrashing Thailand’s dechawat Poomjaeng 5-1, to set up his second round meeting with Tom Ford. The tournament’s inaugural winner, stuart Bingham, was also in action yesterday in his second round clash with Joe Perry, who was the only entrant to advance to the second round without dropping a frame. Quarter-final action begins today at 1pm, with the semi-finals to be held at 1pm and 7pm on saturday, and the best-of-17-frame final held over two sessions from 2pm on sunday. Tickets are still available for weekend sessions at Bendigo stadium, and can be purchased by ringing the stadium’s box office on 5440 6214.

AUSTRALIAN world number one Neil Robertson will play in the third round of the Australian Snooker Goldfields Open for the first time today, after defeating Jamie Cope in his second round match on Wednesday night. Robertson was knocked out in the second round in the first two years of the tournament at Bendigo Stadium, but broke his duck by defeating Cope 5-3. With high breaks of 82, 83 and 91, Robertson had too much class for Cope, who gave the Aussie a bit of a shock when he took the seventh set. “Jamie played well so I was very pleased to get the match finished. When he won the seventh frame I did fear losing in the last 16 again,” Robertson, who has been dealing with illness, said. “I scored heavily, and on another day I might have had

three or four centuries. “It was a good performance and hopefully by the time the quarter-finals start I will be back to 100 per cent health.” Robertson is the lone Australian in the draw, after wildcard hopefuls Shaun Dalitz and Steve Mifsud both lost their opening matches. Mike Dunn and Michael White defeated the Australian duo, to take the two wildcard places in the field. Of all the players in the tournament, England’s Rory McLeod had the easiest path through to the second round after his opponent, Chinese phenomenon Ding Junhui, had to withdraw due to passport issues. Irishman Fergal O’Brien arguably had the toughest test, providing the tournament’s first boilover by outlasting number six seed Ricky Walden 5-4, with the final frame going O’Brien’s way after a marathon 45 minutes.
