A REPORT into Bendigo’s transport future has declared war on cars and urged dramatic change to the way the city lives, grows and moves. The latest stage of the Bendigo Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy has painted the picture of an almost car-less city, that is urbanised and more European-like, all by 2030. Stage Two – Identifying the Vision, uses the community’s wish for better public transport and turns it into a push to change two of the city’s core planning strategies. It focuses on ending Bendigo’s dependence on cars, despite almost 90 per cent of locals using cars to get to and from work. The report also calls for a “morehouses, less land” policy, urbanising the city and changing the current greenfield subdivision focus. Sharing a common pool of electric cars is mooted as one option to wean the city off cars, as is limiting the parking in high-density areas to encourage cycling. An internet-based “peer-to-peer”carsharing program is also suggested, as is a communal bike plan and car pooling. It also suggests creating freight hubs in areas around Bendigo and increasing the frequency of buses by limiting

their coverage. The report calls for Greater Bendigo council to change its policies to accommodate. “Stepping away from the businessas-usual model of urban development and transportation will not be easy,” the report said. “The key barriers to growing Greater Bendigo into a healthier, sustainable and

Sharing a common pool of electric cars is mooted prosperous city relate to: institutional, statutory and economic structures that make infill development harder than greenfield development, and a culture that prioritises car use and getting to our daily destinations fast as more important than getting there in a healthy and enjoyable way. 4Continued Page 11 4glanville Page 20 4editorial Page 21

Funding stall puts city improvements in doubt

By ANTHONY RADFORD

FUNDING for four major Bendigo projects is up in the air, following a change of direction from the Federal Government. Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss announced the government would not honour the latest round of the Regional Development Australia Fund promises made by the previous government during the election campaign. The former government said the money was budgeted for and would be delivered no matter who won the election. However, Mr Truss this week said the round five projects were nothing more than funding promises. Two of those were in Bendigo, with $5.2 million promised for the expansion of the Nolan Street tennis complex, and

$1.18m for the next stage of the Bendigo Botanic Gardens redevelopment. Greater Bendigo council chief executive officer Craig Niemann said missing out on the funding was a setback, but there could be worse to come. “We are disappointed by this announcement,� he said.

We will now look to find other funding sources for these very important projects “We are hearing from the federal area that there might not be any RDAF funding until at least 2015. “We are very concerned about that.� Council’s concern stems from the fact it has two more major projects that will be look-

funding in our budget,� Mr Niemann said. “We applied for about $3m in round four of the RDAF and were unsuccessful. “We were supposed to receive $1.18m under round five. It was going to enable us to deliver on a fair bit of the next stage.

“It would help in terms of getting more development on the ground. “We will still pursue funding for that stage.â€? The money was to be used for further expansion of the gardens, and the construction of a community information centre.â€? Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters said she would keep fighting for the projects. “It is disappointing that Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss has not confirmed funding will go ahead for the Bendigo Botanic Gardens and the Bendigo Bank Tennis Centre,â€? she said. “My question to the Minister is are these projects good projects? I believe they are,â€? she said. “We will now look to find other funding sources for these very important projects.â€? TENNIS PLANS STALL Page 44

The rechurn of Crateman THE Bendigo Weekly has received information claiming to know the story of Crateman and his creators. Last week, Crateman was spotted on a Fora Hill roundabout. This week he was in Rosalind Park. After revealing the second Crateman sighting in five days, the Weekly has received an email from someone claiming to be part of the stunt. The writer claims Crateman is a university tradition, surrounding the moving on and welcoming of new students and house mates. He also claims the Rosalind Park Crateman took two hours to build, with the yellow signifying his heart. The Weekly received the following email:. To Whom It May Concern: The Crateman’s creators wish to keep doing their job in anonymity, because there is going to be more appearances of the mythical Crateman. Milk-crates are a staple part of a uni student’s lifestyle (furniture, storage etc). So each time somebody moves out and leaves their stash of milk-crates, we have to dedicate a new Crateman to their departure from the uni lifestyle and reliance on milk crates as furniture, as well as storage. It is a mass collaboration between past, current and new students into what has become a tradition of public art within Bendigo. Yours faithfully; The Current Caretaker of Our Mythical Being His return has spurred a whole new series of milk puns. Search “Crateman� at www.bendigoweekly.com.au to find out more.

PART WITH HEART: Crateman was back this week in Rosalind Park.

HOPING TO RUN: Jack Lyons.

Lyons seeks preselection THE son of Greater Bendigo mayor Barry Lyons will run for Liberal Party preselection for November’s state election. Jack Lyons, who ran for Liberal Party preselection for the federal seat, and was beaten by Greg Bickley, told the Bendigo Weekly he would put his hand up to run against Maree Edwards in Bendigo West. “I am keen on running in Bendigo West,� he said. Liberal preselections are expected to be finalised by March. “As far as I am concerned, the more who run for preselection the merrier,� Mr Lyons said. “We want to put the best person up we can. “Hopefully that is me and hopefully we can win.� Federal Liberal preselection candidate Peter Wiseman is yet to decide whether he will make another attempt, and 2010 Liberal Bendigo East candidate Michael Langdon said he would not run again. Well-known local Steven Oliver almost won Bendigo West at the 2010 election, narrowly losing to Ms Edwards. The former Nationals candidate is overseas and unavailable for comment, but the Weekly believes he has not yet made a decision about whether or not he will run again. Meanwhile, the two Labor MPs have both been preselected. “I am proud to have represented Bendigo East since 1999 and for being a strong voice for our community,� Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan said. “During that time I have pushed hard for important building projects like the new Bendigo Hospital, the four new junior secondary schools and the Ulumbarra Theatre.� Ms Edwards said the State Government’s cuts to education and health had been bad for the area. “Central Victoria deserves a better deal than it’s getting from Denis Napthine’s Liberal National Government. I will continue to work hard for our community as we head towards the election in November next year,� Ms Edwards said. - Anthony Radford

Foundation of health

By CHRISTINE McGINN

HEALTH Minister David Davis has poured the first concrete footings for the $1 billion new Bendigo Hospital. “These concrete footings are the foundations upon which the new hospital will rest,” Mr Davis said. “Once complete, there will be 33,000 cubic metres of concrete within the hospital’s slabs, columns and footings. That is more than 13 Olympic-size swimming pools. “The project is powering forward at a massive pace. It is bigger than originally planned.” Mr Davis said he was proud the construction was “moving quickly” and on track for completion in 2016. “This is the biggest project in regional Victoria,” he said. “It will be delivered on time and on budget. “The hospital will provide the highest quality health care services

... equal to anywhere in this country.” More concrete will be poured in the coming weeks to finalise the hospital’s foundations. Mr Davis said site preparation works were almost finished, with more than 50,000 tonnes of soil removed from the site. “Detailed design work on the hospital’s layout and specifications by Exemplar Health, the Department of Health and Bendigo Health staff is still progressing, ensuring that this hospital will be at the cutting edge of healthcare,” he said. Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell said the pouring marked a milestone for the “new world-class hospital”. “It will deliver the highest quality healthcare to the people of Bendigo and the Loddon-Mallee region into the future,” she said.

Bendigo jobs lost as path lab sends work to Melbourne By ANTHONY RADFORD and CHRISTINE McGINN

BENDIgO Health chief executive officer John Mulder has defended privatising the organisation’s pathology services, after 10 jobs were lost this week. Healthscope took over the running of the hospital’s pathology lab 18 months ago, despite a community campaign against the move. When announcing the changes last year, Mr Mulder said there would be no job losses in the move. This week, he said the job guarantee was not long-term. “There was a commitment by Healthscope that everybody would be offered a job but that was a 12-month commitment,” he said. “We said there was a commitment by Healthscope for every body to have a job. I don’t think anyone said that went for 20, 30 years. “The commercial realities are always there and Healthscope honoured that commitment, they actually went beyond it. “It was initially for 12

months, we hoped it would go on further and be indefinite.” Mr Mulder said a company restructure had caused the job cuts, which would see more work done out of its Melbourne lab.

Today 10 people and their families are facing a bleak Christmas He said services would not be affected and privatising the service saved “tens of millions” of dollars. While not addressing the job cuts, Healthscope chief operating officer Anoop Singh said services would not be affected. “We have made significant investment in technological hardware, including compu-

ter systems and new laboratory equipment, and in-staff development and training,” he said. “Over the past 18 months we have seamlessly transitioned the pathology services and received excellent feedback and support from both the clinicians and hospital administrators. “To ensure the full benefits of operating in a privatised laboratory network model, some efficiency improvements are being undertaken within the onsite laboratory.” Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards, who revealed the job cuts, said the employees were give one week’s notice. “Over 6000 people signed the petition against the privatisation of Bendigo Health pathology fearing that the outcome would be job losses, and reduced service delivery”. “Today 10 people and their families are facing a bleak Christmas having been told they will no longer have a job after next week. “This is a massive deceit perpetrated on the Bendigo community about the outcome of privatising the pathology services.”

CARDIAC patients are set to benefit from a cash injection of almost $1.5 million to redevelop Bendigo Health’s cardiac unit. Bendigo Health will be given up to $1.49 million in state government funding to upgrade the existing cardiac catheter laboratory, opened in 2005. Health Minister David Davis will announce the funding today as part $60 million Securing Our Health System state government initiative. “This funding will ensure that our hospitals stay abreast of the best and most modern medical equipment to efficiently and effectively provide treatment to patients,” he said. “Bendigo Health will be able to replace a cardiac catheter laboratory with the latest state-of-the-art technology for treating cardiac patients.” Bendigo Health chief executive officer John Mulder said it was an “enormous investment” for the hospital. “It ensures that we have the absolute best technology in our cardiac services,” he said. “We want to be a major regional health provider, tertiary health provider and for the people of the whole Loddon Mallee region, we need to minimise the number of people travelling to Melbourne for their care and

cardiac services. This is what we need to ensure we achieve that outcome.” Mr Davis said the new equipment would enable more patients to receive high-quality, local treatment. “The technology in this new cardiac catheter lab ensures faster patient turn-around, less exposure to radiation and higher quality images to diagnose and treat patients,” he said. Bendigo Health chief medical officer Andre Nel said the equipment was nearing the end of its “working life” and needed replacement. “The new replacements will have better technology, give better images and allow us to be able to do things we can’t do at the moment,” Dr Nel said. Dr Nel said the replacement hybrid machine would also enable medical practitioners to conduct peripheral vascular work. The Securing Our Health System initiative is designed to equip hospitals with the latest technology needed to treat patients. “Our initiative targets replacement of vital medical equipment and engineering infrastructure approaching its use-by date and which is needed to help our hospitals and health services provide timely treatment to patients,” Mr Davis said.

Childcare row grows

By CHRISTINE McGINN

PARENTS at BRIT Beginners Childcare Centre are still pushing Bendigo TAFE for “extra time” to turn the centre into a co-operative. The parents working group will plead their case to Bendigo TAFE management this morning, in a bid to keep the centre open. Bendigo Beginners co-operative spokesman Carla Jeffrey said the group would ask the TAFE management for “more time”. “We are still committed to continue our plans and we need to ensure these community places,” she said. “We will be proposing the community aspect of the service and the number of families that will be affected by this decision.” The working group is rallying support to develop as a not-forprofit, co-operative early childhood provider.

About 500 people have signed the petition, released last week, requesting the closure date be pushed back to December 31, 2014. With more than 20 years in children’s services, Ms Jeffrey said the not-for-profit co-operative would operate with an elected committee, and all staff would be appointed

jacking” the festivities for their own agenda. “Really for a group of parents to hijack that occasion for other purposes, it is just totally, totally inappropriate,” he said. The not-for-profit co-operative idea arose after Bendigo TAFE told parents last Thursday it would close

For a group of parents to hijack that occasion for other purposes, it is just totally, totally inappropriate based on qualifications. “There are lots of these models in Australia. We are wanting to extend the time line until December, 2014,” she said. Parents had a meeting last night before the centre’s Christmas party to discuss their concerns. Bendigo TAFE interim chief executive officer Peter Coyne told ABC Central Victoria that parents were “hi-

the centre on March 31. Ms Jeffrey said parents were concerned about the closure. “We accept Bendigo TAFE’s decision but this is a huge loss to the community,” the mother of five said. Yet Mr Coyne dismissed the notion, as the centre was running at a loss and was not “viable”. “There is certainly no opportunity for them to take over the man-

agement of BRIT Beginners that sort of commercial arrangement is just not possible,” he told ABC Central Victoria. “The business decision has been made. We believe allowing the opportunity until March 31 is pretty generous in time.” Ms Jeffrey said it would be a challenge to form a sustainable cooperative model with the given time frame. “We don’t want Bendigo TAFE to fund it, just lease the site to us and give us a bit of a reprieve to continue,” she said. “It would be a push because of the timing of the year.” Mr Coyne said they were working with staff and parents to address concerns. “We anticipate that this will provide enough time for parents to make other arrangements for childcare and the needs of their children,” he said.

Healthy learning LA Trobe University vice chancellor John Dewar has opened the $22.4 million Clinical Health School building, in the heart of the new Bendigo Hospital precinct. The clinic is the final piece of the $75.9 million La Trobe Rural Health School to be opened. Professor Dewar said the clinic was an important component of La Trobe’s commitment to regional communities and to help train the next generation of health professionals in Bendigo and Northern Victoria. “La Trobe University is committed to making a difference to some of the big issues of our time and to building healthy communities across Australia,” he said. “This clinic will help equip the future health workers with the skills, teamwork and passion they need to provide the highest-quality health outcomes and professional care to their patients. “We know that professionals trained in regional areas are more likely to work in those same areas

once they have graduated, so this facility is an important investment in the healthy futures of cities, towns and communities in Bendigo and across northern Victoria. “This building, together with the other components of the La Trobe Rural Health School, confirms our position as one of the leading providers of rural health education in Australia and provides a great platform to support our bid to bring a fully-fledged medical school to Bendigo.” The Clinical Health School will be used by La Trobe University students studying Nursing and Midwifery, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Podiatry, and Speech Pathology. La Trobe Rural Health School acting head Teresa Iacono said the facility featured the latest simulation facilities, research and laboratory facilities. She said it would accommodate a range of teaching and learning spaces for students in the same precinct they undertook their prac-

tical placements. “This building reflects our vision to create a diverse yet holistic student, research and academic experience, and I think we have delivered on that,” she said.

“By providing these training facilities and a truly innovative curriculum, La Trobe University will equip tomorrow’s health professionals with the tools they need to succeed.”

Hornet II a stinger BENDIGO police have been out in force, blitzing the community for impaired drivers. Officers targeted outlying pubs, from Friday to Sunday, to catch alcohol- and drug-affected drivers under Operation Hornet II. A male P-plater recorded a 0.1 blood alcohol reading and had his ute impounded. About 600 breath tests were conducted with marked and unmarked vehicles assisting the operation. Police were kept busy on Monday, conducting a street sweep swiftly followed by a car pursuit. Seventeen drivers owing more than $18,000 dollars in outstanding warrants were identified in Monday’s Automatic Licence Plate Recognition Device street sweep. Twenty-nine drivers were caught red-handed for police offences, with nine drivers served an intended licence suspension notice. Bendigo police and the Sheriff’s Office used the devices to catch disqualified, unregistered, unlicensed drivers during the Sternberg Street operation. Police were also forced to end a single-car pursuit due to “dangerous driving” on Monday night. The male driver clocked about 100 kilometres per hour in the 60km/h zone in Strathdale about 5pm. Police recognised the vehicle after its involvement in a “short” pursuit on Alice Street, Flora Hill, last Thursday night. Bendigo Police Sergeant Greg Gentry said they were targeting unsafe road behaviours. “We are focused on preventing dangerous behaviour on the roads including; speeding, drink driving and mobile phone use,” he said. “Evading police is very dangerous and can result in a number of injuries.”

Council approves plan despite contamination fear

Former hospital site rezoned for homes By CHRISTINE McGINN

THE former Bendigo Psychiatric Hospital site is set to house 280 proposed residential lots after gaining rezoning approval this week. The 14.11 hectare Holdsworh Road site was given the green light to be rezoned from a public use to residential at Wednesday’s council meeting. Councillors were split on the decision, raising concerns about the site’s soil contamination and the need to protect vegetation. Councillor Peter Cox voted against the motion, concerned about contamination and the loss of trees. “The plans are half-baked, not thorough or thoroughly studied. The public space is the highly contaminated site,� he said. Cr Elise Chapman echoed the

concerns, stating the plans were “a bit half-baked� and worried for future residents. Yet, Cr James Williams said he was “comfortable� with the motion, noting the many contaminated sites across the city.

The majority of this site has been cleaned up “There are some shortage comings [in the plan]... but it has been in the making for a long time. Contamination is a large issue but the majority of this site has been

cleaned up,� he said. The Environmental Audit Overlay report found the amendment would have a “positive environmental effect� through the clean-up and re-use of the site. The Department of Treasury and Finance has completed remediation works on the former mining site. The environmental audit deemed most of the site suitable for residential development excluding two sections which required an Environmental Audit Overlay. The underground pipe lying in arsenic soil, near Holdsworth Road, requires further clean up on the unremediated area. All contaminated soil has been relocated to the north west area of the site, expected to become a park. Despite Cr Cox and Cr Chapman voting against the motion, council approved the plan.

Funds raise spirits in bar EAGLEHAWK’S Borough Club raised the bar recently when they took on an UGLY fundraiser. UGLY stands for Understanding, Generous, Likeable You and staff stepped up to raise money for The Leukaemia Foundation. The money raised will help the foundation provide regional families with a fully furnished place to call home in the city for as long as they need it. The club’s Jane Rule

said everyone was involved. “All staff came on board, and even donated their own time out of work for some activities,� she said. “We raised money with some clever games. One was lemon in water on the bar. “If you could balance a $1 coin for five seconds you got a free drink, if not the money plopped into the container and went to the charity.� The club also arranged

some old favourites such as guess the number of lollies in the jar, a monster raffle with donations from local businesses “We had people try to guess their height in beer cans, an in house sausage sizzle and had tins on the bars,� Ms Rule said. “We raised $1680 at the club.� Nationwide a total of total $1.3 million was raised, which will provide 16,000 nights of accommodation.

the ideas. “Our reliance on the car to easily get us to our daily destinations is not necessarily doing us any good, with just over half of Greater Bendigo’s population overweight or obese,� he said. “The majority of those who took part in the consultation process asked for better access to buses, including increased frequency and longer hours of operation, and were less likely to want increased road capacity or car parking improvements.�

VICTORIAN Aviation Minister Gordon Rich-Phillips flew into Bendigo this week to join Greater Bendigo mayor Barry Lyons to mark the start of stage one of the Bendigo Airport Redevelopment. Cr Lyons said it was fantastic to welcome the Minister to Bendigo to witness the work that has taken place to date on the Hangar Precinct. “This is an important part of the airport redevelopment because it will deliver over 20 new hangar spaces complete with linking taxi ways for use by both recreational and business aircraft operators,� he said. “It’s an exciting stage that has created considerable interest within the local aviation sector with plenty expressing their interest in the new hangar spaces and a number of leases already signed. “The hangar precinct works are expected to be completed early in 2014.� Cr Lyons said the $420,000 stage one works have been funded by a $300,000 grant from the State Government and a $120,000 contribution from the City of Greater Bendigo. “We are extremely grateful to Minister Rich-

Tyre buy a real winner IT looks like Brendan Twyford’s favourite colour is now orange. The Eaglehawk postal worker has taken delivery of a custom Toyota 86 GT sports car worth more than $46,000 thanks to Yokohama Tyres and their Orange Oil technology tyre promotion. What’s more it’s his birthday this week, so he has two reasons to celebrate. Mr Twyford picked up the

keys to his car at Bob Jane T-Marts Bendigo on Tuesday, and was understandably impressed. “It’s pretty good,� he said. “I had to buy new tyres for my daughter’s car, I chose the Yokohama BluEarth AE01 product and the team at Bob Jane Bendigo told me about the promotion. I filled in the form and forgot about it. Next thing I knew I’d won the car.�

Yokohama said Orange Oil technology helps solve the grip problem. “It allows motorists to save money by using less fuel without compromising grip for safe and confident driving,� Yokohama sales operations manager Rob Young said “The oil doesn’t come from the sweet, sticky part of the fruit. It comes from the orange peel. It’s

quite acidic and when it touches rubber it softens it.� It’s a bit of a change of wheels for Mr Twyford as he usually drives a Mitsubishi Triton. “I am sure I will get used to it,� he said. The 86 GT will be sure to turn a few heads around the borough, it’s not often you see an orange sports car with a grinning postal worker behind the wheel.

REDEVELOPING Bendigo Airport is a top priority for Greater Bendigo council and should be a top priority for Canberra. The airport is critical for our Emergency Services with the Air Ambulance based there, as well as Department of the Environment and Primary Industries’ fire response aircraft. It is home to jet charter services and key aviation training facilities with some 29,000 aircraft movements a year. The facility supports about 50 jobs. On Tuesday, it was great to have the State Government’s Aviation Minister Gordon Rich-Phillips visit Bendigo to mark the commencement of stage one of the Bendigo Airport redevelopment. This stage will deliver 25 new hangar spaces complete with linking taxiways for use by both recreational and business aircraft operators. It has generated considerable interest from within the local aviation sector with plenty expressing their support for the new hangar spaces with a number of leases already signed and ready to move in when the works are completed in early 2014.

There has been no ... money invested there since the 1970s

HIGH FLYER: Mayor Barry Lyons. Photo: KATE MONOTTI Worth $420,000, this stage has been funded by a $300,000 grant from the State Government and a $120,000 contribution from the council. Stage two is the main stage of the project and will include construction of a new $15 million, 1600-metre-long-by-30m-wide runway. The council has been busy over the past few years completing the masterplan and the strategy and business case for this important project.

To advance this project, the council has bought land to the north of the airport, fully designed and documented the three development stages and lodged an Airport Amendment and Planning Permit application. However, stage two cannot happen without a $5m funding commitment from Canberra. Bendigo Airport is of a standard that is well below that of airports serving comparable populations. There has been no serious

money invested there since the 1970s and as a result the runway and associated infrastructure is now in serious need of an upgrade to ensure the airport can increase its operating capacity and continue to operate safely. Council believes it is imperative for a growing region like ours to continue to work in partnership with all levels of government to build an airport to serve our region well into the future. The planned $15m redevelopment will result in further job opportunities for our community and flow-on economic benefits in the order of $37m. If Canberra is serious about promoting economic development opportunities, and we believe they are, then this project is clearly worthy of their support.

This year’s winner of Channel 10’s MasterChef Emma Dean is releasing her first book out fast for Christmas A Home Grown Table: Food to eat with Friends and Family.

#

Growing up on a hobby farm in Epsom, Victoria Emma spent her childhood surrounded by chickens, sheep, cows and horses and her love developed with food from the land. Her parents grew a lot of their own vegetables and fruit and this started Emma on her journey of foraging with a keen interest in edible weeds and mushrooms. Emma has a Masters in Environment and Planning from RMIT, and has worked in town planning for the State Government for over eight years. But after some recent soul searching, she decided to take a voluntary redundancy and make her food dreams a reality.

Colour and a name LOCAL children have been invited to enter a competition to name the four cranes being used to build the $1 billion New Bendigo Hospital. Health Minister David Davis said the competi-

tion being run by Bendigo Health and project partners Exemplar Health and Lend Lease, would give children aged five to 12 the chance to play a part in the biggest health development in regional Australia’s history.

“The Napthine Government encourages everyone in Bendigo and the Loddon Mallee to embrace this project,� Mr Davis said. “This competition is a great way for our youngest residents, aged 5-12, to be

involved and have their chosen name emblazoned on a crane. “Enter by filling out and colouring the above form. “Alternatively, children can follow the link at www. bendigohealth.org.au to enter.

Emma’s first book incorporates her love of food from the land to the plate including her love of foraging and with her easy style of cooking this is the perfect book for people who not only have an interest in cooking but have an interest in the food that comes on their plate.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, December 6, 2013

Breaking barriers at special day CELEBRATING 21 years, Bendigo hosted a party to recognise the International Day of People with Disability on Tuesday. The day celebrated the achievements of people living with a disability and their significant contributions to their community. The community was urged to embrace all people through this year’s theme “Break Barriers, Open Doors” to realise an inclusive society for all. The national day and festivities are designed to start a conversation while dispelling myths about disabilities. Bendigo Volunteer Resource Centre, Sportz Rulz, Greater Bendigo council, Bendigo Bank Community Enterprise Foundation, Interchange Loddon Mallee and Radius Disability Services participated in the event. The organisations set up stalls in Hargreaves Mall to encourage the community to learn about their services and gain knowledge about the disabilities. Guest speaker and Greater Bendigo councillor Rod Campbell shared his personal experience as a leading community member and a person with a disability. Choice Voices Choir, Willie Bonkers and Rudely Interrupted belted out tunes to celebrate the achievements of people living with a disability. Face painting, Scope’s Balloon Football and other activities also ran throughout the day. MAP HAPPY: Alison Campbell, Glynn Jarrett, Cr Rod Campbell and Jolie Middleton.

R.D.I. Dentistry in Focus “Children” Children’s health is important to all parents, the team at Robertson Dental Innovations is well versed and experienced in children’s dentistry as with all other facets of dentistry. Robertson Dental Innovation has the choice of male or female dentists and also an Oral Health Therapist/ Hygienist (with a focus on children’s dentistry and hygiene) on staff. In this article Dr. Amanda Leske (formally Dr. Amanda Hales) and Dental Oral Therapist & Hygienist Glenys Shelton give some general tips and tricks for taking your child on their first trip to the dentist. Taking a child to their first dental appointment is also a concern for many parents. At Dental Innovations we have a very friendly team that is committed to making everyone feel comfortable about their dental visit. But you can help too! Here are our top tips for making sure your child will have a very positive dental experience: • Try to have your child’s first dental experience visit between 1-2yrs old. This could be as simple as coming in to the practice to make your appointment with your child (rather than over the phone) or bringing your child to watch your dental check-up or the check-up of an older sibling. We can chat to you about how to look after their teeth while you have your checkup and they can get used to the environment. We will take the time to make your child feel comfortable and then when they return for their check-up they will have gotten used to the dental setting and they are usually excited about going for a ride in the chair! Watching older siblings have their check-up can also help their confidence. • Try to be positive about the dentist and avoid negative words and phrases like “you have to be brave” or “it won’t hurt very much”. Instead, talk to your child about going for a ride in the chair, how the dentist will count their teeth and how they might get a sticker or a balloon. Role play with your child at home and take turns being the dentist and the patient and practice opening wide “like a tiger” and practice counting the teeth. It is also important to remember, your child will pick up on any of your anxieties and may become anxious themselves. • Ultimately this first check-up is usually just to familiarise your child to the dental environment and involves balloons, stickers, rides in the chair and fun! • Have regular check-ups yourself and let your dentist help you to make your mouth healthy. There is a link between untreated dental problems in adults and the development of dental problems in their children. Children should be attending a dentist regularly from about 2 years of age. Most of the time these problems are preventable so let the team at Dental Innovations help you avoid them. • Use a dentist you feel comfortable with and trust. When you are relaxed, your child will feel more relaxed as well. At Dental Innovations, all the dentists and oral health therapist are friendly, caring and experienced and put a lot of effort into making you and your child’s dental experience stress-free, thorough and fun! Dr. Leske (Hales) and Dental Therapist/Hygienist Glenys both work at Dental Innovations on Sternberg and regularly write articles for our Webblog “Dentistry in Focus”, found on our website: www.bendigodentist.com.au/. Please phone our friendly reception staff on (03) 5444 4924 (Dental Innovations on Sternberg) or (03) 5442 8640 (Dental Innovations on Condon) about an appointment for your children (or yourself). A reminder that the Medicare Teen Dental program finishes at the end of this year, so please call to make an appointment now, before the voucher expires. Rest assured however, Robertson Dental Innovations will be accepting patients under the Child Dental Benefit Scheme, which replaces the Teen Dental Program in 2014. We are open up until Christmas Eve this year and new patients are always welcome.

Mapping our city

LOCALS will be finding their way with ease aided by userfriendly maps. Greater Bendigo councillor Rod Campbell launched the Access Map, on Tuesday, to assist people with varying abilities to navigate their suburb with ease. Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk and Heathcote residents will have access to print, online and mobile device map formats to help them navigate. The Access Maps provide public transport schedules, audible pedestrian cross-

ings, scooter and wheelchair recharge locations, public toilets, ATMs, car parking, supermarkets, baby feeding rooms, shelter and drinking fountain locations. Community partnerships manager Suzie Mansell said the maps were designed to assist residents and visitors, of all abilities, to explore the community. “The maps will ensure people of all abilities feel comfortable and welcome in Greater Bendigo, and can easily find their way around and access buildings and fa-

cilities,” she said. The was funded under the State Government’s Transport Connections Local Innovation Fund, designed to provide better opportunities for people with limited access to transport. The map can be collected from council’s offices in Lyttleton Terrace and Heathcote, and the Bendigo, Eaglehawk and Kangaroo Flat libraries. The map is available on the council’s website under the Transport Connections section and can be printed in A4 and A3 sizes.

Open Invitation “Let’s Talk Project Priorities” Forum 7.30pm Tuesday December 10, 2013 Bendigo Town Hall The City of Greater Bendigo invites all residents to attend a special “Let’s Talk Project Priorities” Forum to learn how Council sets its funding priorities through the annual budget process. The aim of the forum is to explain how this is undertaken and provide an opportunity for participants to help test the City’s proposed new project evaluation tool. Each year the City provides about $50million for capital and major works projects including roads, footpaths, drainage, buildings, recreation reserves and parks. However it’s a fact that there is more than half a billion dollars worth of potential projects competing for a share of this funding each year through the budget process. The City of Greater Bendigo currently looks after assets and infrastructure worth over a billion dollars including:• 290 bridges, 1438 kms of sealed roads and 1400 kms of unsealed roads, 728 kms of footpaths, 1082 kms of kerb and channel, 890 kms of underground drains, 39,592 drainage pits and over 280,000 square metres of paved area • Over 800 public buildings, over 80 toilet blocks, a range of public furniture, statues and monuments. • Over 70 sporting reserves, 20 heritage and formal gardens, 310 passive recreation reserves including 120 playgrounds, 170 natural reserves and over 100,000 nature strip trees The “Let’s Talk Project Priorities” Forum will also include a discussion on long term financial planning and how this affects rate increases and borrowings. It’s part of Council’s ongoing commitment to listen to, engage with, consult and inform the community and we would love to see you participate in the “Let’s Talk Project Priorities” Forum at the Bendigo Town Hall on Tuesday December 10. We welcome your participation and anyone who would like to attend can simply come along to the Bendigo Town Hall at 7.30pm on the night. Cr Barry Lyons Mayor City of Greater Bendigo

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, December 6, 2013

Mr Wiseman talking through his hat I wrIte to furnish Peter wiseman with some facts regarding the confirmed link between climate change and the increased risk and likelihood of intense bushfires. In the wake of the October bushfires in NSw this year, while environment Minister Greg Hunt was conducting his wikipedia research, and PM Abbott was insulting a key international expert on climate change and extreme weather events by accusing her of “talking through her hat�, NSw Fire Commissioner Shane Fitzsimons, said of the earliest start to the fire season on record: “we are facing a whole new ball-game� with “unparalled conditions�. NSw Premier Barry O’Farrell said of the link between bushfires and climate change: “well clearly that’s the science�. the Victorian Country Fire Authority is predicting larger and more severe fires because of climate change. CFA planning strategy documents identify climate change as a key threat, concluding that the conditions for large and intense fires are likely to become more common in the future. CFA fire chief, euan Ferguson predicts that climate change will “mould� the CFA’s planning and strategic future. the Victorian Government and the Federal Government have dismissed the scientifically confirmed link between climate change and bushfires because they well understand that the politics of fear and division wins elections. Choosing to act, or not, on climate change is a choice between increasing harm, or acting to restore safety. By refusing to join with the rest of the world in acknowledging the likely catastrophe posed by global warming, the Abbott Government is wilfully endangering the futures of our children and grand-children. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Missed political point IN taking Ken Price to task (Political Point, Bendigo Weekly, Nov. 29) for saying that climate change is “not political�. Peter wiseman is right about one thing – climate change is a very political issue indeed. But Peter’s reasons for saying so reveal a short-term memory loss. Has he forgotten already that denying the reality of climate change was a key plank of the Coalition’s platform for the last election, and is likely to remain so for the next three years? In an astounding piece of logic, he blames the Greens for the NSw bushfires – now whether climate change is or is not implicated in these fires may be a moot point to some, but to simply lay the blame on the Greens is really nothing short of a blatant political manoeuvre. Peter can do better than that, surely. Now we come to another key plank in the Coalition’s platform – turning the refu-

gee boats around. Seems the tragedy of so many deaths at sea is also the fault of the Greens, even to the point that Indonesia “is a victim of the Left’s failings too.� Julie Hopper,Bendigo

Mr Wiseman’s amusing comments IN reply to Peter wiseman (Bendigo Weekly November 29), yes it has become a political point. why? Because tony Abbott and Co are sceptics and treat climate change as a joke, despite the world wide views of a lot of scientists and people over this issue. Mr wiseman also believes tony Abbott and the Coalition have had a victory over stopping the boats. well the last report I heard was they were still arriving and Scott Morrison fails to be transparent over the situation. Another amusing comment by Mr wiseman: he believes that the Fairfax Media, ABC and The Guardian are untruthful reporters, opposed to the News corporate journalist biased garbage. Ivan Kitt,Bendigo

Council double standards on parking

Mr wiseman seems obsessed with Labor/ Greens/Fairfax at the expense of any facts. Since when was News Corporation the experts on everything? You should be well aware that The Australian newspaper, is made up of many ex Liberal staffers as well as people prepared to write what rupert Murdoch wants. tony Abbott even privately dined them, thanking them for their help installing him as Prime Minister. So spare me the lecture on facts, Mr wiseman. the world’s population in 1940 was approximately 2.3 billion people. today it is 7.129 billion people, so in 73 years it has increased by 4.829 billion, racing towards 10 billion people. Mathematically and scientifically, it is beyond doubt that the human race is slowly destroying its own planet. Anyone born seven decades ago can testify to a significant change in the ferocity of the heat we are exposed to – unless you have your head stuck in the air conditioner. People and politicians who continue to ignore the 97 per cent of climate scientists who believe that human influences are contributing to the decline of the world’s climate are doing the children of the future a grave disservice. who do you go to for a second opinion for your health – a snake charmer? And since when do you reward polluters for threatening the living standards of people in your own country? these same politicians will have all had their cosy retirements, and be knocking on the door of another planet. they won’t care. Climate change is NOt going to go away.

AS a keen observer at Greater Bendigo council meetings, I was very surprised at the meeting on October 23, to note the provision of only 23 car parking bays for a hotel proposed at the new Bendigo Hospital redevelopment. the “Parking for Hospital Project� report noted that 98 car parks were required for the hotel; the balance to be provided when the multi-deck carpark and helipad is constructed. I believe this has been deferred until well after 2017. On wIN tV News on November 26, the publicity regarding this hotel said it was a 128 room hotel with conference facilities and multi-deck carpark, constructed as a private facility on hospital land. Many questions arise from this council decision: Did this planning application have a specific reduction or waiver of car parking sought? Has council insisted that the developer pay for, instead of providing, these bays? who holds the title to the land? what is the connection between Bendigo Health and motel developer? Is the motel or 98 or 128 rooms? Using advanced prefabrication building construction, and with an anticipated opening date of May 2014, where do patrons park? It seems to me that council is most keen to see multi-million dollar high rise developments, expeditiously approved yet with a massive under-provision of car parking. this only exacerbates an already major problem with car parking in this vicinity associated with the hospital project.

editorial

Impractical change IT has been a tough decade for Greater Bendigo council in terms of balancing future vision against current practical need. And if the lastest update of the Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy is any indication, it’s not going to get any easier. Bendigonians have always been a practical bunch, often dismissing projects or visions that change reality too much. For the most part, locals prefer their council to focus on roads, rates and rubbish, and not be caught spending too much time caught in the headlights of vision and strategy. However, local government, and Bendigo, is changing. A large amount of council’s time is taken up with creating strategies that aim to predict and plan for what the future will bring. The community, too, is changing. The Bendigo Weekly has often spoken about “old� and “new� Bendigo, those who were born or grew up here, and those who are new, or who came back after years away. While those categories are obviously generalisations, they serve as a case in point to demonstrate the differences in expectations of those across the city.

NEWS • 21

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

“Old� Bendigonians are heavily parochial, want to focus on what Bendigo is, and how it can be practically improved. “New� Bendigonians are happy to think about what Bendigo can be, and how new ways of doing things can be implemented. This is nowhere more clearer than in the ITLUS. The stage two documents released this week show what a lot already know: council is doing things a certain way, and there are those who want to change it. Specifically, council is listening to the community, building car parks that cater for growth, creating more roads and focusing residential strategy on what most live in the regions for – a detached house and a yard. The ITLUS, however, calls for the creation of a Bendigo that is very, very different. It wants cars to no longer rule the roads, it wants a city that is more urbanised, and it wants us all to get out there and get active. While that is all legitimate, the report makes sweeping suggestions the average Bendigonian will find hard to swallow. One of these is driving less will lower the obesity rate. Promoting less eating and exercising more would be money better spent.

The report aims to tell people that walking or riding to work is the way to go. They are wrong. It isn’t. We live in a large country, we value our space, and therefore we actually like living away from builtup areas. While we may need to drive 10 minutes to get to work or school, claiming most of us can ride or walk is immature. It ignores the practical nature of regional Australian living. Suggestions such as car sharing en masse and pools of electric cars to share are too out-there for Bendigo. Yes, our bus system is inadequate for those who need it, and any changes that can be made in this area will be welcome by all. But this report smacks of a philosophy being pushed onto a community for which it is impractical. Most people in the community surveys conducted as part of the report wanted better public transport. Who wouldn’t? However, one of the biggest problems identified by those same people want car parking. That suggests they want more of it, and are in no hurry to give up their cars.

pk City is on to a winner with Peter Kennedy

A COUPLE of weeks ago, the Bendigo Weekly was lucky enough to host a major newspaper industry conference here in Bendigo, with the owners, managers and publishers of more than 80 papers from regional and rural Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales and South Australia among the delegates. Being able to show off and share some of this city’s finest coffee shops and eateries, as well as the Bendigo Art Gallery, the Talking Tram, the Golden Dragon Museum, Rosalind Park and View Street makes us proud to be a part of this community. But when inquisitive newspaper people start asking about all the building works going on around Bendigo –

namely the new hospital, the library refurbishment, the gallery extensions and the new community theatre project, to be known as Ulumbarra Theatre, you know we are on a winner. The regard in which this city is held by outsiders is nothing short of amazing.

Sucked in by technology The robo vacuum cleaner has a lazy mind of its own

I

N April I mentioned the great hunt for the robotic vacuum cleaner. Well, fast forward to November and the beast arrived. He was discounted considerably, and finally fitted into what we were prepared to pay for the monster. The shiny black beast was named Errol, and pretty swish he is too. The manufacturer claimed he learned the layout of the house and cleaned every crevice. He has a camera in the top of his shell, and is able to navigate home for a recharge or to empty his dustbag. That’s a pretty clever thing if you ask me. After a few hours of charging I pushed his button and he trundled up the hall. Before long I heard him docking at his base station and then a loud noise as he emptied out. I sat and waited for him to head out again, but he’d gone to sleep. I had to push his button again before he grudgingly kicked off to finish the job he’d started. I think I may have bought the lazy one, because I come home some days after I have

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, December 6, 2013

dear dotty... Dear Dotty, I am really getting over Christmas. So many children are so greedy and have so much already. The trip around the world on Christmas Eve is starting to exhaust me and I am so over sledge lag. As for those kids who have been good or bad, most of them have been right little bastards. Santa, North Pole Dear Santa, As my mother would say, you’re the one who wanted to do it in the first place. Now take a multi-vitamin, a dram of scotch, sling your leg over that sledge and get on with it!

set him off, and he’s not on his recharge dock. I have found him under the bed a couple of times, and once in front of the television. I don’t know whether I have pushed the wrong button or he’s just like me when it comes to vacuuming. The reason I was happy to buy Errol was the thought of it saving me from ever using the vacuum again. I hate it. The long-suffering Mrs Kendall seems to get joy from it, she used to always have the thing running. So now the upright vacu-

um is on part time duties only. Try as I might, I just can’t get Errol to do the house without getting lost or taking a break and back-up is needed. Last Sunday he had the day off. Mrs K went into superclean mode and sent me out of the way. I was cutting grass and from the tractor I could see practically the whole household being placed outside for the big clean. There was clattering and banging and the sound of high-powered vacuuming from in the house and the furniture was moved this way and that.

I spent a couple of hours on the tractor and the grass was mostly cut, Mrs K had cleaned the house, and Errol, the robot who was meant to save us the work was sitting on his charger having a break. I think Errol was pulling a fast one missing some rooms. He pretended to get it wrong so he didn’t have to run around cleaning all the time. “He’s just like you,” Mrs K said to me. “Doing a shoddy job so I won’t ask you again.” A bit unfair, but she has a point. twitter: @stevekendall1

Dear Dotty, I have some friends who have already bought their Christmas gifts. They make lists and buy items as they come on sale during the year. I feel totally disheartened. Mary Dear Mary, Don’t you hate people like that? Where’s the fun in being organised? It’s much more thrilling to rush around at the last minute in a blind panic and buy a brush cutter for your 90 year old grandmother and a plastic garden gnome for

Illustration: “Wildey”

your boss. Much more fun collapsing at home, kicking off your shoes and sticking your head under the tap on the chardy cask. Nah stick to your old routine which is no routine. People who are as organised as your friend, must have very boring lives in deed, devoid of adrenalin, heart palpitations and the thrill of the chase. And Merry Christmas Mary. Dear Dotty, My mum has said she is going to donate money to the poor people in the third world on our behalf this Christmas. Do you think this is fair? Noel Dear Noel No, Noel, not at all, not fair. You mum’s behaviour is rotten, sucks big time. And how do you know she will actually donate money to a poor person? She’s probably keeping the money for herself and buying herself perfume and bras and stuff. Ask for receipts.

ABIES and children are at the heart of the Fontan for Life fund-raising campaign running until December 15. Fontan is a life-saving medical procedure used to treat children born with rare heart conditions to help restructure their heart. Fontan for Life is calling for 1000 families to each donate $200 to collectively fund vital research through the procedure’s registry fund. Local mother Marika McMahon lost her daughter, Thomasina, born with a complex cardiac condition, after undergoing the Fontan procedure. “The Fontan procedure is relatively new. There is a lack of data on what happens to these kids,� she said. “If we knew what happened and what their quality of life was like, we would know when we should do the operation.� The 40 year old procedure enables the heart to function with only one ventricle but patients are not expected to live more than 20 years. Despite being unaware of all the risks, Ms McMahon said there was no other option but to have the Fontan procedure to try to save her daughter’s life. “It was a difficult decision because there is a lot of grey about the procedure,� she said. “This fund would give parents a lot more information about the procedure. Research would give necessary information about why the procedure is vital.� Local families are urged to help fund the life-saving research needed to shed light on the procedure. To donate visit www.fontanforlife.com.au or to learn more about the registry visit www.fontanregistry.com.au.

EVEN hundred students came together on Wednesday for the annual Festival of the Sacred. The event was held at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo and involved students from Catholic Schools in the Western Deanery.

The grade five and six students from 15 Catholic primary schools in Bendigo, Heathcote, Elmore, Rochester, Echuca, Inglewood, Kerang and Cohuna formed a massed choir for the event. As a special event this year Catholic Education Sandhurst director Phil Billington

conducted the final performance of the day which involved all 700 students. This has never happened before. The students have taken part this term in workshops conducted by a3-Australian Arts Alive, a branch of the prestigious Australian School of Performing Arts in preparation.

Who will be Bendigo’s Biggest Winner?

The view broadens

T

OMORROW is the last chance to register and weigh-in for Bendigo’s Biggest Winner. Next Tuesday night, a Bendigo local will win $1000 and a local business will be crowned Bendigo’s champion weight loss team. For 12 weeks, 136 local people have been working to lose weight, eat more healthily, exercise more and generally improve their physical and mental health. On Tuesday night at St John of God Hospital, the winners and placegetters will be announced, and everyone gets to meet others who have shared the journey with them. “This is our fourth year and this year we had a very strong team of supporters prepared to step up and help Bendigo people become more healthy,� co-ordinator Bronwyn Wheatley, from St John of God Hospital, said. “What other town or city do you know where the local council, a community health service, the private hospital, a pharmacy, the weekly newspaper, three fitness centres, a dance studio, a hairdresser, a wellness centre, organic food shop, two motivational speakers and a special dietary shop get together to help their community? “Most did it for no financial gain, offering free lessons, memberships or motivational talks, while others heavily discounted their assistance to just cover basic costs. * You can read the full list of supporting businesses at www.sjog.org.au/bendigo, go to the Events page.

NCE upon a time, with most of its shops closed, View street was a desolate part of Bendigo, hardly worth hauling yourself up the hill for. But because of council and business initiatives, it has burgeoned as a lively arts precinct. First we had the redevelopment of the Bendigo Art Gallery under the leadership of director Karen Quinlan; next came the La Trobe Visual Arts Centre where managing curator Paul Northam’s vision and hard work is paying off in spades. And finally we are starting to see private galleries opening up, a natural extension of these two formal art institutions. The View Point Handmade Gallery specialising in art and handcrafts is well established now, as is the Llanvair.H.R. gallery which features Helena Richardson-Collins’ silk art garments and acrylic paintings. Geoff Sayer’s Fine Picture Framing business has a tradition of displaying local artists’ such as Ray Pearce and the most recent gallery to open is the Red Rat – just down from the Wine Bank. The bare brick multi-textured “patina� of the gallery’s interior is testament to its positioning as an alternate showcasing venue for local artists. Red Rat director, Sue Llewellyn, said that the formal gal-

leries could do more to represent local artists. “Many artists are doing innovative work which is not being recognised. We want to raise their profile and at the same time act as an aesthetic sieve,� she said. “At the moment we are testing the market, we’re treating the Red Rat as a pop-up gallery/retail art shop which will be turning over a variety of work.

Local food industry insider with Marika McMahon

Culinary questions

Hamming it up C

HRISTMAS is a time full of traditions. The date you put up the tree, when you do the Christmas lights tour, a new frock for Christmas Day. Of all the traditions, the one most revered in the McMahon family is the cutting of the Christmas ham. The ordered ham is collected Christmas Eve (in the midst of my birthday festivities) and placed “in the fridge in the shed�. In recent years it has been home from mass on Christmas morning to a flurry of activity for the first round of ham on toast before opening the presents. I now have special Christmas plates just for that purpose; we quickly rush with toast, coffee and tea- making as Joe (my Dad) readies himself for the ceremonial cutting of the ham. In Central Victoria we are spoiled for choice with the most amazing quality locally produced hams – but you will need to get in quickly as most pre-orders close this week. Jason and Belinda Hagan at McIvor Farm Foods produce the most beautiful range of pork products from their property at Tooborac. They are regulars at the Bendigo Community Farmers Market and supply products to Masons and The Dispensary and their Christmas hams would be a welcome addition to any Christmas table. You can jump on to the McIvor Farm online shop and

collect your ham at the Farmers market. Another great local ham producer is Istra Smallgoods from Musk over near Daylesford. I love Istra Bacon and their ham is just as good. Both Bendigo Wholefoods and Epicurean are taking orders for Istra hams. Another place to buy a delicious ham is from Edwards Greengrocers and Deli in Strathfieldsaye. However Joe McMahon has had his ham order in with Dave Dargaville at Flora Hill Meats for a few weeks now. Dave’s hams are sourced from local pork and have been a key part of our Christmas for many years. Maybe I should admit that sometimes we have rocked up in early January and bought a second ham. Yes, it doesn’t take us long to go through a ham – ham on toast every morning, ham with turkey and pork for Christmas lunch, ham and salads for Christmas dinner, ham rolls for lunch every day over the Christmas break. A good book, the Boxing Day test, the

with Jody and Brent Loam of the Willow Room, Heathcote Q. What are some ways to cook pork fillet? A. Pork fillet is a very underused cut of meat. Belinda Hagen from McIvor Farm Pork in Tooberac says it is the only cut from their pigs that they often struggle to sell. Its so easy and versatile to cook with. It’s great marinated and cooked on a barbeque, sliced thin and crumbed to make a great schnitzel or wrapped in pancetta and pan fried. Just be careful not to over cook the pork, serve it pink. Try it with grilled peaches or a shaved fennel and apple salad. Q. What is agar-agar?

sales – it all comes ham flavoured at our place. The other must for your Christmas ham is to make sure you indulge by serving it with Myrtleford Butter. Available at Bendigo Wholefoods, it’s a worthy of addition to the Christmas ritual. The only other ham related decision is whether to serve it with a local sparkling, a rose or given it’s breakfast, maybe a Buck’s Fizz?

A. Although its been around for hundreds of years agaragar is not something that I ever came across when working in kitchens when I was younger. Now it’s a very common ingredient that almost every commercial kitchen has in the dry store. Agar comes in flakes or powder form and is extracted from a red algae found in South East Asia. It’s used as a vegetarian alternative to gelatine but chefs have found so many other uses in-

cluding making gels and hot jellies as it can stay gelled at warm temperatures. Q. What’s the difference between poaching and braising? A. Poaching is cooking something slowly and gently in a simmering liquid. You can poach things in stock, water, milk, oil, wine to name a few. This is a great way to cook a delicate protein like fish or tender, soft meats. Braising is similar but is used for cooking harsher and tougher cuts like beef cheeks or shanks. Braising is cooking these cuts slowly for a long time often in stock, vegetables and wine. This breaks down the tough meat and is ready when the meat is soft and very tender, or falling off the bone.

To market, two markets ACCORDING to a recent customer survey, Bendigo Community Farmers Market has huge support from shoppers to increase its frequency. Over 76 per cent of customers surveyed were regular BCFM shoppers, who value freshness and food that is locally grown and made, well over other considerations. NEARLY everyone (more than 95 per cent) rated the market’s offerings as higher quality than supermarket fare, and 60 per cent wanted it to occur more often. One shopper told us: “I absolutely love it – more frequent would be great – my purchases from the last market didn’t last me the month; and I had to buy supermarket fruit and veg, which didn’t compare!�

BCFM Committee members are currently looking into launching a second market, to be held on the fourth Saturday of each month, and invite input from the community as to where in Bendigo that should be – in the same CBD spot, or somewhere else. OTHER comments from market goers included: “It’s a fantastic market and we appreciate all the effort that organisers and volunteers put in to make it happen every month.�; “We generally find the market ‘disable confident’ - meaning that vendors are comfortable dealing with people with disabilities;� and “BCFM is a great market – lovely setting, good range of produce, plenty of variety and friendly atmosphere.� THIS month’s market is on Sat-

Legal beagle Jonathon Smalley N

OTED for his scholastic approach to all subjects, Jonathon Smalley served the community of this area particularly well. He established his academic credentials early in life. At school he was a star student, and was awarded a scholarship while still attending school at the lower level. His award was quite an achievement as it was the first scholarship to be made available in the government education system. Mr Smalley matriculated in 1888. Born at California Gully October 1, 1872, he was the seventh out of the eight children of Peter and Ellen Smalley nee Learmouth. Mr Smalley had been named after his brick-maker grandfather. His father was initially involved in alluvial mining and later reef mining, and in time was appointed the manager of the Rose of Denmark Mine in California Gully. Peter also became a mining share investor/speculator and in this he was very successful, thus placing the family in a comfortable position. Mr Smalley, like his siblings, attended the Bell Topper Hill School or what was otherwise known as the California Gully State School. The family was heavily involved in the California Gully Methodist Church; along with where his father was working, these buildings were in close proximity to each other. Enrolled to study law, Mr Smalley continued to show his capacities as a student. He went on to graduate from Melbourne University. On returning to Bendigo, Mr

Smalley was articled to Frederick Douglas Jones, whose practice was in Albion Chambers on the corner of View and Mackenzie streets, Bendigo. Jones was a noted expert on Victorian mining law. Some time after Mr Smalley was admitted for practice, he joined the legal partnership of Tatchell, Dunlop, Smalley and Balmer, this was in 1907. As his roots were in the Borough of Eaglehawk, this was something that he never forgot and Mr Smalley went on to become a councillor. It was in his capacity as an Eaglehawk councillor that he came to be appointed to the Welcome Committee for the officers and sailors of the Great White Fleet. Bendigo City Council was also being served by Mr Smalley, he being appointed their solicitor. It is fair to say that Mr Smalley was very familiar with the workings of local government, and the various problems that it faced. His legal counsel was recognised by his peers when he became a member of the Statutory Committee of the Law Society of Victoria. In September 1909 Mr Smalley was sworn in as a Justice of the Peace by Police Magistrate Mr E N Moore. The role of a JP at that time was to also sit on the bench in court. A JP’s commitments today are quite different to what they were early in the 20th century. The year prior to the men of the Fleet’s visit in 1908, Cr Smalley had to face the ratepayers of Eaglehawk in an election, J Cleghorn chaired one of his campaign meetings at the Mechanics Institute.

Foundation of the cathedral

T’S time to open the history books on some of Bendigo’s oldest buildings.

SCHOLARLY: Jonathon Smalley in his mayoral robes.

As an Eaglehawk councillor he also had the privilege of serving as mayor in 1909, five years after he first entered the council chamber. In his role as a councillor he attended many functions on behalf of the council or his fellow councillors, such as the retirement of veteran Huntly councillor Edward Warren in 1910. At official functions it was often the case at an opening, such as an event as that of the Eaglehawk Rowing Club in 1908 Regatta, that he would hand over a cheque out of his own pocket.

Councillors in past times had to have financial means in order to serve their community as it was totally voluntary, and the stipulation was that they had to be a property owner as well. Cr Smalley initiated an Eaglehawk meeting regarding the establishment of a sanatorium for Bendigo’s consumptives. In 1910 Cr Smalley was elected president of the Bendigo Law Association with E S Cahill becoming secretary. Cr Smalley died on August 23, 1961.

The dominating presence of the Sacred Heart Cathedral has its genesis in the vision of the pioneers of the Diocese of Sandhurst, the Rev. Henry Backhaus and Bishop Martin Crane. It was Bendigo’s first Catholic priest Henry Backhaus who bought the prime piece of real estate in 1855 upon which the cathedral would be built. On the slope of a hill by the main road on the corner of Wattle and High streets, the position was perfect and the new cathedral bound to impress. Bishop Crane borrowed money from George Lansell in 1896 to build the cathedral for £30,000 at 6 per cent compound interest. The debt was discharged in 1902 when the money in the Backhaus Estate matured and became available. Diocesan historians have made the observation that the decision to build the cathedral was a bold one, given there was a serious economic depression at the time. However Bishop Crane’s rationale was that the building of the mammoth cathedral would provide jobs for unemployed miners. Bishop Crane presided over the laying of the foundation stone on Friday, the June 25, 1897- the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. (Original research M.J.Nolan) . - Dianne Dempsey

Branching out for a cause I

T starts again tomorrow, the much anticipated Y Service Club of Bendigo annual Charity Christmas Tree Sale. Generations of Bendigonians have supported this annual fundraising event by buying Christmas trees each December from the YMCA Stadium in Mundy Street. For years the Y Service Club of Bendigo has held its annual Charity Christmas Tree Sale, raising thousands of dollars for many

worthwhile causes. An army of volunteers are readying themselves for the now familiar trip between Daylesford Christmas Tree Farm and Bendigo. Hundreds of fresh-cut Christmas trees are supplied every Christmas to meet the ever-growing demand for Bendigo families. It’s an annual end-of-year tradition on which many locals rely and look forward to as do the Bendigo Y’s Men.

ZH KDYH D UDQJH RI

You can get your tree from 9am tomorrow or Sunday as well as from the following Friday, December 13 until Sunday, December 22. But don’t be surprised if they sell out – demand is always high. Deliveries of fresh trees happen regularly, with the Y’s Men aiming to sell a record number of trees to meet their annual fund-raising target. Trees available from 9am until 6pm weekends and noon until 6pm weekdays.

R Rental not only has all the latest furniture and appliances to help furnish your house, he can even help to sell it. Anyone who has watched all the renovation shows on TV of late knows that how you present your home for sale will impact how quickly it sells and how much money you get for it. The goal is to appeal to the maximum number of people while accentuating the positives of your home. Many people have difficulty imagining their furniture in an empty house, which is why there is a saying in real estate “nothing is harder to sell than an empty house�. Also according to a recent REIV survey styling your home can boost prices by between 7.5 to 12.5 per cent.

Did you realise that Mr Rental can help with short term house staging packages, that can range from an item or two, to fill a space or to give a feeling of space by providing a more compact piece. Mr Rental can also provide a whole house full of furniture, as well as linen, crockery and small appliances to make your house feel like someone’s new home. So Mr Rental makes it easy to furnish your home and get it ready for sale, just call Daryl or Kristine on 1800 880 778 or 5443 5222 to get an affordable quote for a package to suit your needs. And to keep your life really simple Mr Rental will deliver, setup and pick up furniture in your house which is for sale, you just need to tell them where you

ITH the warmer weather now here, many people will planning to get out and about on holidays or visiting friends and relations, making now an ideal time to give your vehicle a much-needed check over. In the warmer months, cooling systems can be an issue if not attended to. Overheating can be caused by many things, but having your cooling system pressure tested and topped up with the correct coolant will minimise any problems. Radiator and heater hoses can tend to be neglected as well and are prone to fail at the worst possible time due to age and fatigue.

Tyres and suspension are other items that car owners often overlook. Keeping the correct pressure in your tyres will ensure you get the best possible wear from them, and making sure that your suspension is not worn or damaged will also make for smooth and safe motoring. If you notice any unusual clunks or creaks while driving, don’t turn the radio up, have it checked out at Hattam Street Tyre & Mechanical, who offer free safety checks to ensure the safety of everyone on our roads. Hattam Street Tyre & Mechanical at 96 Hattam Street Golden Square. Phone 5442 2577.

ADOPT-A-PET OPT A Desexed, Female. 6 years 4 Months I am a lovely girl, and I think that I’m a lap dog, even e though I’m much too big! Though I am very sociable with people, I would prefer living in a home ho with no other pets, as I am not very friendly with other dogs. I am an older girl, but I haven’t had any training before, and I am very strong. I will therefore need a patient, attentive owner e di who is experienced with large dogs. I need my In og owner to spend lots of one-on-one time with American Bulld me, giv me giving me the training and attention that I deserve. My coat is easy to care for, and I will need a secure yard with strong fences.

Desexed, Male. 6 years I am a friendly, sociable boy, with a bit of a cheeky side. I am quite energetic and want to be friends with everyone. I would be well suited to a home with adults or older children. My coat is easy to care for, I am desexed and Microchipped. Come and meet me!

selling a cat or dog? To allow traceability of sellers of pets, it is now an offence to advertise the sale of a dog or cat unless the microchip identification number of the animal is included in the advertisement notice. A registered domestic animal business may use its Council business registration number as an alternative. A penalty of up to 5 penalty units (around $600) can be issued by Authorised Officers of Council, RSPCA or Department of Primary Industries for advertising the sale of a cat or dog without a microchip.

Emu Valley Cricket Association – Division 1

Gully scores a win EMU CREEK continued its winning ways while Maiden Gully recorded its first win of the season in the Emu Valley Cricket Association’s fifth round. Gully easily defended its first day total of 266, skittling Axe Creek for 159 at Evolution Oval. The Cowboys had only four players reach double figures with the bat, David Cannings (46) fell just short of a half century while Travis Nolan and Mick Morton both notched up 26. The ever-reliable Glenn McCoomb took 5/23 off his nine overs for Gully, who are at home again in round six against Marong. Emu Creek skipper Daniel Chamberlain, Shane Hamilton and Jarrod Henderson all made half centuries as the reigning premiers made 224 in reply to Golden Gully’s 143. Henderson (66) and Hamilton (59) shared an 79-run stand for the seventh wicket to set the win up, after the Emus were in trouble at 6/82. Peter Moore took five wickets for the Cobras, who have a chance to jump back into the top four this round against Sedgwick. West Bendigo jumped into the Cobras’ spot inside the top four, claiming a 110-run win over Sedgwick at Club Court. Dale Warren took 4/39 from his 19 overs for the Redbacks, while Trent Bysouth and Scott Ryan both claimed two scalps. The 32 sundries bowled by Wests contributed more than any of the Rams’ bastmen, skipper Dustin Elliott (29) the best of those who picked up the willow. Spring Gully opener Jayden Mannix returned to form with 66 not out but it wasn’t enough to stop the Crows going down to Marong by 87 runs at Marong Links Oval. Mannix and fellow opener Des Gilmore (43) put on 72 for the first wicket but Mannix ran out of support after Gilmore fell to Dean Cosgriff, as no other batsman scored above six. Cosgriff took 4/49 for the third-placed Panthers, with Adam Brown contributing an economical 3/24 off his 15 overs. At Pearce Reserve, a Josh White century led United to a comfortable win over Mandurang, the Tigers making 296 in reply to the home side’s 180. White blasted 101 before retiring, making 92 for the first wicket with Tim Elliott (45), while Brenton Dillon (38) also made handy runs down the order. Jeremy Hancock took three wickets for Mandurang, while Matt Giri was expensive but claimed 2/67 from his nine overs. In Tuesday night’s Cathcart Smash Repairs Bash for Cash action, Marong produced a masterful bowling performance to dismiss Sedgwick for 47 and claim the easiest of victories. All eight bowlers that the Panthers used claimed at least one scalp, Scott Ross taking 2/4 off his designated over before Andy Gladstone made 37 to help steer Marong to 6/111. In the night’s other game at Club Court, Andrew Renato smashed 67 not out to guide Spring Gully to 3/159, eclipsing Strathfieldsaye’s 7/109. At Pearce Reserve, Matt Giri blasted 90 to lead the Rangas to victory over Golden Gully, while Matt Dwyer’s half century saw West Bendigo defeat Maiden Gully. At Champions IGA Oval, Axe Creek were too good for Kangaroo Flat, and United outpointed Emu Creek in a high scoring affair.

Heat is on for Griffin By JOEL PETERSON

FOR the first 26 years of her life, Kelsey Griffin has woken up on Christmas morning, looked outside, and seen snow. This year that will certainly not be the case, as she spends the holiday away from the United States for the first time. It will also be her first Christmas without her family, however Griffin is excited about what will be a decidedly different Christmas experience. “Twenty-six years, that’s how long I’ve always had snow,” the Alaskan native said. “It’s interesting, I talk to people here and they say they would hate snow at Christmas. I joke around and say how much I love it, and most Aussies I’ve talked to think it would be terrible for it to be cold. “I’m looking forward to it, and spending some time out in the sun as opposed to inside out of the cold.” Although her family are staying at home, Griffin’s father, Jim, plans to come over in February, and the former University of Nebraska star will head back to where she stepped into the basketball spotlight. Nebraska announced plans to retire her Huskers jersey last month, after a distinguished career in Lincoln led Griffin to the number three pick in the 2010 WNBA draft. The typically modest forward said as great as it was to receive in-

dividual awards, people along the way always got left out. “It wasn’t something I had ever planned on happening or really even wanted to happen, because it wasn’t even on my radar as something I would ever accomplish at Nebraska,” she said. “I remember when I got the phone call I was at the grocery store in Connecticut and I couldn’t believe it. It’s such a huge honour. “The thing about individual awards is that they’re kind of a double-edged sword. Sure, I got to a certain point and do certain things, but the teams I played in and the coaching staff are just as deserving. “It’s great to have individual awards like this and have all your hard work recognised, but there’s so many important people that get left out of them too.” After a career-best year in the WNBA with Connecticut, Griffin returned to the Spirit with a slightly different role and plenty of fatigue. She started slowly by her lofty standards, but has returned to some of her finest form winning the round eight WNBL player of the week award after 29 points and 10 rebounds against Adelaide two weeks ago. “I think after playing so much with the Sun, as opposed to champing at the bit for playing time like other years, it took a bit out of me,” she said. “I’ve been playing more at the three now that we have Elyse,

whereas with my coach at Connecticut Anne Donovan, she let me play the four which is probably more my natural game and helped a lot in terms of having success over there.” The Spirit have reeled off 10-straight wins, with Griffin a key factor in them all, and will be looking for 11 against Melbourne on Saturday.

“I think they’re like us last year in terms of their size, the way they go about their business and their willingness to get scrappy and play hard,” she said. “I feel as though it will either be a really scrappy, physical game, or a really exciting game. “Either way they will really test us, but we’re set on getting that 11th win.”

Back for challenge

STILL SWINGING: Kris Mueck.

PROFESSIONAL golfer Kris Mueck will return to Bendigo to play in the Bendigo Golf Club’s 2013 Christmas Challenge next week. The former Axedale player had a solid season on the pro-am circuit this year and he joined fellow professionals Andrew Martin and Bryan Wearne in the 260-player strong field. The Christmas Challenge will be contested on Saturday, December 14 at the Epsom course. Bendigo Golf Club president

Andrew Johnston said the response to the 11th Christmas Challenge had been amazing. ‘’We have a capacity field and a long list of players on the emergency list. It has been incredible that so many golfers have wanted to be part of Bendigo’s biggest golf day,” he said. “The 4BBB Stableford event will have players teeing off from 7am for the morning round and from 11am for the afternoon groups.”

QEO plays host to interleague BENDIGO’S Queen Elizabeth Oval will hold its third consecutive interleague contest between the Bendigo Football Netball League and Gippsland League next year, when the two competitions square off for the third time in five years. Bendigo has taken out the last two contests, the most recent in 2012 resulting in a 23-point victory to the blue and gold. Bendigo will be looking to hit back next year after suffering a disappointing loss to arch rivals Ballarat at Eastern Oval this year. Unlike the 2012 contest, the Heathcote District Football League will not feature in a double header with the BFNL, with the HDFL to travel to Horsham to tackle the Horsham and District Football League. The Loddon Valley FL will also hit the road, to take on the Central Highlands FL, while the North Central FL was drawn to host the Wimmera FL, setting up a possible BFNL-NCFL double-header at the QEO. The BFNL’s 2014 fixture was also announced this week, with the return of Kyneton against Eaglehawk at the Kyneton Showgrounds on Saturday, April 5 and the grand final rematch between Strathfieldsaye and Golden Square the next day headlining round one of the season. There is also the possibility of a football spectacular at the QEO, encorporating the Heathcote District, Loddon Valley and North Central Football Leagues on Sunday, April 6. The first four rounds will all feature night games, three to be hosted by Kangaroo Flat at Dower Park, while Maryborough will tackle Gisborne under lights at Princes Park in round two. The BFNL have also taken advantage of several other dates, with the Easter weekend, ANZAC Day and Queen’s Birthday Monday all seeing games played. ANZAC Day football was a roaring success this season with games extremely well patronised, and three games, including Kangaroo Flat taking on Golden Square under lights will be played on April 25, 2014. The remainder of games in round one see Gisborne host Castlemaine, South Bendigo versus Sandhurst in a battle of the QEO co-tenants, Kangaroo Flat take on Maryborough under lights.

Time to act on tennis By JOEL PETERSON

BENDIGO Tennis Association executive officer Leon Retallick says the association will ultimately deliver its proposed redevelopment, despite $5.2 million worth of Federal Government funding being scrapped this week. The coalition government decided to scrap funding promised for projects announced under round five of the former Labor Government’s Regional Development Australia Fund. Retallick said he, and the BTA, are disappointed by the announcement, but said the news did not come as a complete surprise. “It is disappointing, but the news isn’t completely unexpected to be honest,” Retallick told the Bendigo Weekly. “Of course our job would be easier if it had gone through, but we’ll just keep working with all levels of government to try and get it up and running. “We have had positive talks with Senator Bridget McKenzie, Member for Northern Victoria Damian Drum

and Tennis Australia, who are the proponents of the project. “We’re still very confident that it will go ahead and that we will get the funding for it at some stage.” Retallick believes there will be opportunities for funding from the government in the future, with another round of community grants expected to be made available early next year. The Nolan Street complex redevelopment will also

events that we put on. We’ve already lost our Men’s ProTour event, and as other facilities continue to improve we may not be able to hold these big events. “Not only that, but the benefits it would bring to the local community are huge as a multi-purpose venue.” After a long process of discussions with various organisations, including all levels of government, Retallick said the key is to get action, as op-

We’re still very confident that it will go ahead and that we will get the funding be put in front of council at the mid-year budget review, in an attempt to get funding to spend on the design of the project. “The design is an ongoing project, we need to keep refining it to a stage where we have something that is ready to go if the money does come,” Retallick said. “Tennis provides around $1.5 million to the local economy per year with the

posed to just talk. “We need action. We’ve had a lot of talk, now we need action,” he said. “We need someone, whether it be Senator McKenzie, Damian Drum, even mayor Barry Lyons, to grab a hold of this and say ‘this needs to be delivered’. “This project is not even close to being dead. We still fully believe that we will get this across the line.”

SUPERB: Krist Harrower led the way against Adelaide.

Spirit takes 10 in a row BENDIGO Spirit extended its franchiserecord winning streak to a perfect 10 last Saturday, with the play of star Kristi Harrower earning her WNBL Player of the Week honours for round nine. Harrower was superb in the clash against Adelaide, scoring 24 points to go with seven assists.

The reigning defensive player of the year leads the league in assists with 7.7 per game, and is shooting 30-of-58 from the field in her last seven games after going 8-of-28 in her first four. The ladder-leading Spirit travel to Knox to take on the Melbourne Boomers on Saturday.
