Amelia’s wish AMELIA McCrohan has just one wish for Christmas, a life-saving drug.

Six-year-old Amelia has cystic fibrosis, a lifeshortening condition.

Kalydeco is the drug in question. It targets

the underlining causes of cystic fibrosis, but at $300,000 a year, her family will be hard pushed to fund the medication to improve Amelia’s quality of life. – Story Page 9 – Editorial Page 15

Bushmaster sold to Jamaica

Youngsters increasingly presenting with mental issues

Stress on the rise

By CHRISTINE McGINN

AN Eaglehawk doctor is baffled by a shift in mental health problems suffered by young people.

Many are experiencing increased mental distress rather than mental illness conditions.

Eaglehawk general practitioner Tali Barrett said there has been a significant shift in presentations especially in women aged 12 to 25.

“There is reasonable distress being shown… I don’t think it is a mental illness,” she said.

Mental distress implies social and environmental factors which mould and develop a mental state, rather than a neurological process triggering a mental illness.

Dr Barrett said mental distress and mental illnesses require

different medical health responses to tackle the issues.

“In mental health there is mental illness and a significant amount of mental distress out there which we are seeing more of in young people,” she said.

“This is a separate issue and a

“Young people are presenting with distress more and whether that is social media, family breakup, drug and alcohol issues, I don’t think anyone knows exactly why there is more mental distress being shown in young people.”

It’s almost a cultural way of showing distress these days, to self-harm complex area.”

Greater Bendigo has almost double the number of mental health clients than the state average, echoing the lack of private and public services.

Dr Barrett said there were several contributing social factors impacting on the mental health of local youth.

Alarmingly, self harm is becoming more prevalent among youth as a measure to express signs of angst and distress.

“It’s almost a cultural way of showing distress these days, to self-harm, in some way. I am not saying they are trying to kill themselves but I am saying ‘cutting’ is cultural,” Dr Barrett said.

“Suicides in the main are dropping but mental distress is increasing.”

The Medicare Local Loddon Mallee Murray October report found a significant lack of services in rural areas to manage high prevalence disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Dr Barrett said young people are sharing their experiences through social media and other platforms that voice their mental distress.

“It didn’t happen 15 years ago, just nobody did it,” she said.

Dr Barrett is calling for better mental health treatment and management regionally.

If you, or someone you know is experiencing a personal crisis or thinking of suicide, contact Lifeline 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.

Students step up for orientation day CLOSE to 1000 teenagers gained an insight into senior college life during an Orientation Day for new students enrolled at Bendigo Senior Secondary College.

The day signalled the start of the college’s Step Up program to give new and returning students a great start to the school year.

Events and activities included a welcome assembly, students’ first

meeting with their Advisor, a scavenger hunt to familiarise students with the college facilities and surrounds and a barbecue lunch in Rosalind Park.

For the remaining five days of the program, students will move into timetabled classes where they will trial their 2014 subjects.

About 800 students will return to the college next year to complete

Year 12 and the Step Up program gives them an opportunity to begin their preparation and coursework.

The college’s enrolment for 2014 is 1763 students.

“Our Step Up program provides both students and parents with a great introduction to our college and how we operate as well as outlining rights, responsibilities and expectations,” program coordi-

nator Simon Wood said.

“At our Orientation Day, new students will have the opportunity to build their familiarity with our college and its surroundings.

Principal Dale Pearce said the annual program was a critical element in supporting students.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to begin the process of building strong relationships,” he said.

BENDIGO’S manufacturing sector will receive another boost.

As revealed by the Weekly last month, Thales has sold 12 Bushmaster vehicles to the Jamaica Defence Force.

The vehicles are all troop carrier variants equipped with Thales’s SOTAS M2 communication system.

The vehicles will be delivered starting in 2015 with a five year support package included in the deal.

The $15 million deal is believed to create about three months’ work for the company’s North Bendigo factory, which makes the allterrain vehicles.

Thales Australia chief executive officer Chris Jenkins said the Jamaica Defence Force had a “long standing interest in Bushmaster”.

“The Bushmasters are ideally suited for both internal security and humanitarian operations. The inclusion of the support package demonstrates the customer’s trust in us to deliver and maintain an effective capability over several years,” he said.

“The confidence shown in Bushmaster’s ability to protect troops and save lives reflects very well on the skills of Australian industry, and the important role that Thales and the 120 companies in the Bushmaster supply chain play in providing a unique Australian capability in protected vehicles.”

Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters said the contract announcement highlighted the ability of local manufacturers to compete on the world stage.

“This is reward for the great job done by the men and women who work there,” she said.

“This new export contract reinforces Thales’ position as top of the field in defence manufacturing.

“Thales is an important part of the Bendigo economy.”

Liberal Party patron Senator for Bendigo Michael Ronaldson praised the Bushmaster and the Bendigo people who make them.

“This is terrific news for Thales and we should all be proud of its life-saving piece of equipment,” he said.

“The Federal Government is keen to ensure Thales takes its products to the world, as it should.”

The Thales Bushmaster is a highly mobile, ballistics, mine and improvised explosive device blast resistant Protected Mobility Vehicle.

Bushmaster has an established family of modular armoured vehicles offering high levels of protected mobility for combat, combat support and combat service support troops across a diverse range of mission profiles including troop movement, command and control, engineer support and ambulance variants.

With more than 800 Bushmaster variants delivered to the Australian Defence Force and the Netherlands, Bushmaster is operationally combat-proven, highly capable and affordable, offering greatly enhanced protection, mobility, mission performance, reliability, mission flexibility and operational sustainability.

Drain row runs on

By CHRISTINE McGINN

RESIDENTS at Rosedale Residential Village are putting up a stink, and are urging council to fix a forgotten drain.

The corridor alongside the Kangaroo Flat village is blocked, filled with sludge and rubbish, woven between stalks of Cumbungi grass.

The Cumbingi has been thriving in the shallow cement drain for nine years, only cut twice, including once in the past fortnight.

Residents have organised a petition to force the City of Greater Bendigo to lay a drain to fix the sludge-ridden blockage alongside their homes.

Rosedale resident Robert A Clarksom said he recently contacted council to unblock the drain to fix the stench.

“We should not have to put up with this,” he said.

“The Cumbungi is eroding the edges of properties. Some of the fences [left hand side of the drain] are barely hanging in. It is causing health concerns. I keep sneezing and it gives me watery eyes, and hayfever.”

Rosedale manager John Lang said he was concerned for the 75

residents living in the estate and the 25 homes directly affected.

“Some of the homes are being undermined. It’s just going to continue if nothing is done,” he said.

“Council engineers have been coming across the past 12 months but we have no idea what they are going to do.

“This system is not working properly... There is a likelihood of flooding. It’s a matter of taking preventative action now and getting work done.”

Resident Kevin McNaughton presented a petition to council in 2009 to fill in and pipe the area, placing a recreational area above the drain.

“The Cumbungi has floated right down the path of Rosedale Village and it has changed the course of the water,” he said.

“The end result is all of it can’t get into the Bendigo creek. It’s filthy, we don’t know where it comes from.

It was meant to be a drain but now I think it’s a creek. All the rubbish from Lansell Square must get in it too but it couldn’t get past because the Cumbungi was 12 foot high and 14 foot wide (3.6 metres and 4.2m).

“Council need to do some major works in that back part [Bendigo Creek] too.”

STANDING FIRM: Rod Fyffe remains keen for intensive housing to go ahead.

UP THE CREEK: Resident Robert A Clarksom, Rosedale manager John Lang and resident Kevin McNaughton.

Greater Bendigo councillor Elise Chapman said council needed to resolve the nine year saga.

“The problem is the water can’t run up the hill without a pump...

The drains are lower than the Bendigo Creek,” she said.

“No one in Bendigo would think this is acceptable. This is a council issue and it needs to be fixed.

Mixed approach to new housing MORE than a decade ago, Greater Bendigo councillor Rod Fyffe began a push for more medium density mixed use developments.

Cr Fyffe supported development along Station Street, opposite the Bendigo Railway Station.

Greeted with backlash, the plans were put on the back burner unable to get off the ground.

“The feedback wasn’t very positive about these sorts of things,” Cr Fyffe said.

But the Bendigo Integrated Transport and Land Use Strategy (ITLUS) has put it back on the agenda.

“These parcels of land are ideal for medium density mixed use development. In place of that we have unsightly, unpaid ground-level parking,” the ITLUS stated.

“While we acknowledge there is a demand for parking in close proximity to the station, the poor visual welcome

for people arriving in Greater Bendigo and the wasted use of this vital space is a concern.”

Standing firmly by his comments, Cr Fyffe said there was increasing room for this type of development in Bendigo.

“Given the close proximity to the facilities and transport we need to look at and have a discussion about the area,” he said.

“It needs to be looked at seriously for intensive housing.

“But we need to get the development right... otherwise there will be ramifications for the years to come.”

Acutely aware of council protocol and the need for community consultation Cr Fyffe said the strategy had a “road to run”.

“It needs to be in the mix.

It is a substantial idea of transport and residential together,” he said.

“We’ve had to think and redevelop. The community has

to look at it and say ‘yes’ to this type of forward thinking.”

Council took a positive move on Tuesday night, hosting a priorities forum on Tuesday night to discuss the process for setting their agenda.

Mayor Barry Lyons said the forum was about “getting the balance right” between community needs and affordability.

“And providing what’s needed to assure the long term success of the whole municipality is an immense challenge,” he said.

Ever the optimist, Cr Fyffe said starting the discussion is half the job.

“Council has done a lot of ground work [through the ITLUS] and I have been elated by the participation. It is extraordinarily healthy for our community,” he said.

“The reality is, it is out there, it is being talked about and certainly council is heading in the right direction.”

Police unite to quell late-night revellers

BENDIGO police will target licensed venues and popular night spots this weekend to clamp down on drunken and disorderly behaviour.

Revellers are warned police will form a united Australasian front as part of Operation Unite tonight and tomorrow night.

Police say they will saturate “high-risk locations” for public order offences, to combat alcohol misuse, violence and antisocial behaviour.

Operation Unite commander acting assistant commissioner Rick Nugent said the annual operation was held during a time when alcohol consumption traditionally increased.

“In the warmer months, we typically see more people heading out and about to licensed venues to consume alcohol and we also know a lot of people will be celebrating at Christmas parties,” he said.

“It is the intention of some people to drink purely to get drunk. People drink too much

and don’t take responsibility for their actions. This can lead to reckless behaviour that puts the safety of themselves and those around them at risk.

“When it comes to deciding on whether or not to have another drink this weekend, I urge you to stop and think about the possible consequences.”

Acting assistant commissioner Nugent said the operation was part of a broader approach by police to combat anti-social behaviour.

“We all have a role to play in changing the unacceptable behaviour that is a result of a culture where drinking to excess is accepted and encouraged,” he said.

“By all means go out and have a good time, but drink in moderation. We want our cities and regional centres to be safe environments for everyone to enjoy at any time of the day and night.”

Operation Unite will run from 6pm to 6am tonight and tomorrow.

Health hit as region downs alcohol at alarming levels

Bendigo in top five of drinkers

By CHRISTINE McGINN

BENDIGO is home to some of regional Victoria’s heaviest drinkers with serious effects on our health.

Greater Bendigo ranked in the top five for alcohol-ambulance attendances last year.

Locals raising their glasses and knocking back the bubbles during the festive season are urged to remember it’s not all merry.

Experts warn Christmas mixed with chronic alcoholism is a serious issue for those struggling with long-term substance abuse.

Turning Point Eastern Health Head of Clinical Services Dr Matthew Frei said chronic alcohol abuse was a significant issue.

This is a drug that causes harm.

People need to be informed “Chronic alcohol is commonly seen in males and females in their 40s and 50s. This is put down to the age where health effects of heavy drinking take a toll,” he said.

“A lot of people who work in the field are increasingly concerned as it remains a really toxic drug.”

About 2600 ambulances attended alcohol only related incidents in regional Victoria across 2011 to 2012.

Yet, regional Victoria witnessed a higher than state average of attendances to outdoor spaces at 63 per cent compared to 53 per cent.

The Turning Point report, re-

leased earlier this year, recorded alcohol and other substance abuse in regional Victoria for the first time.

Prior to this report, there was no concrete data for regional communities to understand the impact and depth of the problem.

Despite a previous lack of data, Dr Frei said the number of alcohol presentations remained constant.

“The numbers aren’t changing a lot, they are certainly not reducing,” he said.

“Alcohol is always going to be available especially in regional centres. It is not surprising to see significant numbers of drug and alcohol in lower socio-economic status populations.

“In parts of rural and regional Victoria, there is an increase in drug use, usually alcohol.”

Bendigo Health drug and alcohol care coordinator Daniel Eltringham said the majority of presentations were alcohol related.

“The majority of our business

particularly deals with people with long-term alcohol issues. It is a big issue,” he said.

Dr Frei said most people do not realise how much harm alcohol can cause especially when it is sustained.

“Daily drinkers who can work but suffer long term effects such as liver harm and mental health issues,” he said.

“Alcohol outstrips all drugs contributed.”

Paramedic Richard Marchingo said their were 12 “regulars” on their books suffering with chronic alcohol abuse.

“A lot of people get hooked on it and can’t get off,” he said.

“They are high functioning people. They want to change but they can’t.”

As locals prepare to celebrate Christmas with a few pints, Dr Frei warns that alcoholism shouldn’t be part of our “culture”.

“Alcohol is apparently promoted in Australia as part of the culture, a right of passage [it seems] is drinking and getting drunk,” he said.

Mr Eltringham said there was a myriad of alcohol treatment services in Bendigo to cater to the community’s needs.

“The demand often outweighs what they [the public service] can provide, there are a lot of waiting lists,” he said.

“Yet, you can’t force treatment on people.“ Dr Frei said there needs to be more health promotion to combat the issue.

“To reduce the long term risks of chronic harm, it is recommended two standard drinks per day.

When you have above two standard drinks, you stop any benefits from drinking, ” he said.

“When the risks start creeping in, the cost to harm in the community is strong, and people become dysfunctional.

“This is a drug that causes harm. People need to be informed.”

Police were kept busy on Tuesday with multiple incidents, including one where a bus driver was stung by a bee and collided with parked cars after allegedly losing his vision.

The incident occured about 3pm in the Bendigo Railway Station carpark.

A 27 year old person was allegedly approached by a male with a knife who took their mobile phone in Eaglehawk.

There were two separate deaths on the region’s roads this week.

An Arnold man was killed at Wilsons Hill near Marong on Tuesday after crossing the Wimmera Highway about 4am.

A Newstead man, aged 56, died on Wednesday evening after his vehicle veered off the Pyrenees Highway about 5.40pm.

Police divers combed the Rotary Gateway Park Lake on Thursday in search of an item that may help identity a man who exposed himself to five children last Saturday.

Despite an unsuccessful search, police are still investigating the incident.

Drug cost a health hurdle for Amelia

By CHRISTINE McGINN

AMELIA McCrohan has just one Christmas wish - a potentially life-saving drug.

Born with a recessive genetic condition, Amelia, aged six, has cystic fibrosis, a life-shortening disease.

Amelia is topping her Christmas list with Kalydeco, a drug that targets the underlyng causes of cystic fibrosis.

The $300,000 a year drug is not on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme., and the federal government has deferred a decision on whether to subsidise the drug’s hefty annual cost.

Access to Kalydeco would lengthen Amelia’s life expectancy, and that of other sufferers’, from 37 years to 57 years.

There is no cure for cystic fibrosis but the drug offers a glimmer of hope to improve sufferers’ quality of life.

Amelia takes 10 medicines and swallows up to 33 tablets a day to control her symptoms.

“I don’t like the medicines,” she said.

Amelia’s mother Glenyce said placing Kalydeco

WISHING: Amelia meets Santa. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN on the PBS would be a dream come true.

“Kalydeco will change her quality of life, it will stop it [cystic fibrosis] where it is. We want her to have a normal life,” the mother of three said.

“Having Kalydeco on the PBS would take the pressure off the whole family. There is so much that can change from one drug.

“Kalydeco is a break-

through medication.

We are on the verge on change.”

Amelia’s dad Tim McCrohan said Kalydeco would revolutionise the lives of cystic fibrosis sufferers and their families.

“Kalydeco is the first drug ever released that actually deals with the underlying causes of cystic fibrosis. It opens up the salt passages, so she becomes a

normal kid,” he said.

“I look at her and think there is the opportunity to stop this damage and we’re restricted from doing that.’’

He said his daughter’s prognosis remains unknown. ‘‘She is relatively healthy at the moment but that doesn’t mean she’ll be healthy at 10. She fails to thrive.”

Mr McCrohan said the family’s Christmas wish was not just for their daughter but for hundreds of Australian families affected by the condition.

“We are fighting for Kalydeco but what we are really fighting for is reform that Australians can actually have an opportunity [to fix this]... The question needs to be ‘where do I get this drug?’ rather than ‘how do I fund $300,000?’,” he said.

Cystic Fibrosis Australia has called on the federal government to ensure that affordable access to Kalydeco becomes a reality sooner than later, and has also criticised the drug’s manufacturer Vertex for charging so much for the medicine.

Parents’ childcare hopes dashed PARENTS at BRIT Beginners Childcare Centre have been forced to end their push to develop the centre into a co-operative.

Bendigo TAFE dismissed the parent working group’s plea to rent the centre at a reduced cost until December 31, 2014.

The TAFE’s chief executive officer Peter Coyne and board president Marg O’Rourke met with three parents last Friday to discuss the situation.

Parents were silenced when Bendigo TAFE refused to assist them in their plight to develop the centre into a viable co-operative.

“The primary request was that the childcare fa-

cility was provided to the group at a very low rent for the first nine months to assist in the establishment of the co-op,” Bendigo Beginners Cooperative spokesperson

were not prepared to consider anything other than a lease at commercial rates.”

Yet Mr Coyne dismissed extending the closure date from March

There is certainly no opportunity for them to take over the management Carla Jeffrey wrote on Facebook.

“No additional expenditure or extension of the closure date was requested.

“As Bendigo TAFE owns the building this was a request which would not have cost them any money. Bendigo TAFE

31, 2014 as the centre was not “viable”.

“There is certainly no opportunity for them to take over the management of BRIT Beginners. ‘‘That sort of commercial arrangement is just not possible,” he told ABC Central Victoria last week.

Parents had changed their original request to push back the closure date to December 31, 2014, swapping for a peppercorn lease.

Ms Jeffrey said TAFE had rejected the plea on the second basis a $200,000 investment would be required to keep the centre compliant beyond March 31.

Parents have been encouraged to keep their children at the centre until March 31 but must still search for alternative options.

“After a hectic, and hellish week... and little cooperation from Bendigo TAFE, we actually could have got this to fly,” Ms Jeffrey wrote.

Gym a fit place for a lunch PALMER’S Gym owner John Palmer is one of several local business identities to be praised for their support of last month’s Blokes Biggest Ever Lunch.

Mr Palmer provided his Mundy Street premises to the event, which was attended by more than 400 men.

The gym will benefit from a donation from this year’s event towards two new programs for children with different needs.

Mr Sutherland said he has already had several suggestions for next year’s event.

Both programs will be at a no cost basis for students nominated by their individual schools.

Mr Palmer said he was grateful to the Blokes Biggest Ever Lunch for its support and donation.

Event organiser Keith Sutherland also thanked the various other businesses for their support.

TOM Thumb Lake’s bird infestation has turned deadly.

Three dead birds were found on Tuesday by council officers, but councillor Peter Cox said this was just the beginning.

About 30 people attended meeting at the Peter Kreinz Leisure Centre on Tuesday night to discuss the flock.

“The meeting reinforced the issues; the high number of birds, denuding, loss of vegetation and the smell,” Cr Cox said.

“Council needs to nip it in the bud and undertake urgent measures at this point of time rather than wait for the hot summer months when the smells and deterioration of the island become a real problem.”

Council commissioned wildlife management consultant and Silver Gill expert, Ian Temby to

write a management report about the site.

Cr Cox said he believed the report would be presented to council at next week’s meeting.

“If it is passed, coun-

The lake was beautiful before the birds came... cil will have to apply for a permit from the Department of Environment and Primary Industries to implement the report,” he said.

“Nothing can be done in the short term because it’s breeding season and they are a protected species.

“But the report suggests mild scaring of the

birds, perhaps a net over the island and to look at connecting the island to the walking path around the island.”

Residents remain concerned about the protected flock of Ibis and Silver Gulls which are a stark reminder of the five year old Lake Neangar debacle.

Local resident Claire Stemmer said the birds were wrecking the once pristine lake.

“The lake was beautiful before the birds came... but the birds are ruining it,” she said.

Cr Cox agreed the birds were destroying the area.

“The ecosystem can’t support that island which is virtually covered in bird shit,” he said.

Cr Cox is pushing for council to discuss the report.

“It is great to have the report done. We need to keep people informed and not let people think it’s being ignored,” he said.

Nelson Mandela was often spoken of while I was growing up in Durban the 60s and 70s.

He was feared by some of my young school mates as a “terrorist” and treated suspiciously by some traditionalists in the largely Zulu region.

He was of another tribal grouping, Xhosa, and revered for his principle by those trying to galvanise opposition to the apartheid regime.

He was a political leader, among many others, who placed political principle before the comforts of compromise always being encouraged by the ruling regime.

As president of the Student Representative Council at the University of Natal (now KwaZulu-Natal) in 1984, I nominated Nelson Mandela for the position of chancellor of the university.

We did this to highlight the inequities of apartheid, remind the university community of his plight and because we believed in him and what he stood for.

This was treated with absolute disdain by the then university administration which had its eye on Alan Paton, author of Cry the Beloved Country as the preferred candidate.

They refused to accept the nomination because “Mr Mandela had not signed the nomination form”.

Through an academic friend, we hastily arranged a written acceptance from Nelson Mandela, received as a handwritten note on the back of post card.

The university administration accepted this and begrudgingly listed the long-time political prisoner on the voting ballot with occupation as “prisoner”.

Alan Paton withdrew from the contest out of respect for Mandela and a retired judge of the High Court was subsequently elected.

I first met Mandela in 1995 when I was chief executive officer of a national adult basic education. South Africa had very high levels of adult illiteracy.

I was nominated for the annual national President’s Education Award and was invited with my wife, Marina to his home in Pretoria.

VALE: Nelson Mandela.

We were asked not to take photographs of him because of his eyes had been damaged by many years of work in limestone quarries on Robben Island, the camera flashes hurt his eyes.

When I went up to accept the award from him, he immediately struck me as a warm human being, he meaningfully and warmly engaged.

But I remember even then his hands being frail and cold.

His speech was firm, gentle and very focused on putting people at ease His speech was firm, gentle and very focused on putting people at ease through self-deprecating anecdotes.

After he was elected President in 1994, I was appointed to a position to help support the parliamentary transition in South Africa.

The political leaders had fought for and believed in democracy and wanted a strong parliamentary system.

Many world leaders came through Cape Town at this time and I noticed the care and warmth with which they treated him, such as the gentle support-

ner circle story of a visit to Cape Town by the Crown Prince of a Gulf State.

He wanted to check out the event arrangements and suddenly became very concerned about who was going to let the tough and principled leader of the ANC women’s caucus, Speaker of the National Assembly (and my employer), Dr Frene Ginwala, know that she would need to “eat with the ladies”.

He certainly wasn’t game.

Fidel Castro was one of the world leaders that came through and I went to the Parliamentary Chamber to listen to his speech.

I noticed that Mandela wasn’t there and I chose to leave as the speech began to ramble and meander as Fidel gathered a second wind.

On leaving the building I noticed the long barricaded red carpet reserved for VIPs and joked with a work colleague that it was now my time to walk up one of these – so we did.

When we were halfway down the carpet three cars pulled up and Mandela leapt out to start his trek from the other end of the carpet… laughing loudly and shaking his finger in a grandfatherly manner as he pretended to admonish us (and as we retreated under the barrier).

I have always felt sad for him and his family in terms of his significant absence from family lifethe loss to them and himself.

He was a generous leader, principled, honourable and honest, with no sign of the bitterness and vindictiveness one could associate with such a long incarceration.

He seemed less interested in power and material accumulation.

It could also be said that the 27 year incarceration and personal loss probably helped him transcend these things to become the leader able to help a troubled nation try and navigate a positive future from a difficult past.

Climate catastrophe luvvies in a tizz AppArently my letter, political point, Bendigo Weekly, november 29, has the climate catastrophe luvvies in a real tizz.

In a failed attempt at rebuttal, Greens party campaigner Michelle Goldsmith (peter Wiseman talking through his hat) continues the Greens implacable rejection of the truth by claiming the recent nSW bushfires represent the “earliest start to the fire season on record” – they do not. the history of fire in nSW is replete with fires in early October, including a massive fire detected on October 7, 1926, ten days earlier than this year’s fires. the “unparalleled conditions” she laments are not related to climate change, but the difficulties firefighters face as a result of the poorlyplanned urbanisation of steep-sided and heavily treed ridgelines.

Homes perched a few metres below crests with trees overhanging their eaves are in great danger and no amount of tax on carbon dioxide will save them.

Incredibly there are more than 30,000 homes in the Blue Mountains within 100 metres of dense bushland, much of which is choked by undergrowth because of the Greens’ opposition to preventative burns.

Ms Hopper (Missed political point) is correct that “the tragedy of so many deaths at sea is also the fault of the Greens”. It was the Greens in collusion with labor which dismantled the Howard Government’s border protection policies – as the president of Indonesia said, they “put the sugar back on the table” and lured more than a thousand people to their deaths. local labor stalwart, Ivan Kitt (Mr Wiseman’s amusing comments), fresh from overseeing the second biggest swing against the Alp in Victoria, seems wilfully incapable of understanding the difference between labor’s torrent of 43 illegal boats in november 2012 and the four which were intercepted in november 2013 under the Coalition’s watch. no one claims the boats have stopped yet, but the number of illegal boat arrivals has been reduced by more than 80 per cent – a very good start.

Mr price’s attempt at rebuttal (too serious to ignore) is as muddled as his understanding of climate change, though his reference to human population increases is more rational than the Greens’ demand that pensioners’ electricity bills be taxed, all but making a lighted room com-

pletely unaffordable.

But I will remind Mr price that “seven decades” ago, during a “ferocious” heatwave, a series of bushfires swept across Victoria from west of portland to east of Wodonga burning as much as a third of the state in a few days.

Seventy people were killed as nearly every timber town in Victoria’s high country was destroyed along with the forests around them.

Was that CO2 in action too?

Peter Wiseman, Mandurang

Parking State issue I AM writing in response to Kevin Slater’s letter to the editor, Bendigo Weekly, December 6, regarding the provision of parking bays for the planned hotel at the new Bendigo Hospital. the State Government, not Council, is the decision maker on all planning matters relating to the hospital, including the provision of new car parking and when it is to be supplied. the City of Greater Bendigo was asked to offer an opinion on the amount of car parks that should be provided and expressed concern about the number of spaces that would not be available when the hotel opened.

Prue Mansfield, Director Planning and Development, City of Greater Bendigo

Drive carefully AS Christmas approaches, it is important that we as a community ensure it is a time of celebration not devastation by driving responsibly on our roads.

We know that alcohol will be a factor in many people’s festivities, just as we know that a quarter of all road fatalities involve drivers or riders who are above the legal alcohol limit.

I urge you all to consider this fact before getting behind the wheel, or leave the driving to a designated driver if you know your night will involve alcohol. the tAC has developed Designated Driver Vouchers to help people make the right decision.

If you want to help a loved one get home safely from their work break-up or Christmas barbecue or new year’s celebration, gift them a voucher and pledge your services as a designated driver. It could be the best Christmas present you’ll ever give them. you can download the vouchers at www.tac.vic.gov.au or share them with friends from the tAC’s Facebook page.

I wish you all a happy and safe

We are so lucky in central Victoria that we have many amazing and innovative local shops and producers.

Buying your Christmas presents from local traders, and buying locally made products, will help boost our region’s economy. By spending your Christmas dollar in our community, you will be supporting our small Christmas – let’s all drive safely into 2014.

Keep watch this summer I AM writing from royal life Saving to specifically ask your readers to be vigilant around water and to make sure we all “keep watch” as the hotter weather kicks in. latest available figures show 31 young lives of children aged 0-4 were lost last year in pools, dams and bath tubs across the nation. this is clearly alarming. Sixty-

businesses and keeping people in jobs.

I’ve made a start on my Christmas shopping.

Bendigo pottery has some wonderful kitchenware and decorative pieces. I bought a vase from there for my mum (don’t tell her though). Bob’s Boutique in Williamson Street is also one of my go-to shops for special and different gifts.

I picked up a beautiful handmade bag for my sister.

I’m a volunteer at the Benone per cent of children under five drowned in swimming pools.

In half of the cases children got into the pool because it was unfenced or because there was a faulty or propped open gate.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in children 0–4 years of age. In the last 11 financial years 359 children under the age of five drowned in Australia. lack of adult supervision is the number one issue in child drowning. royal life Saving wants to see people having a good time in all aquatic environments during summer.

digo Farmers’ Market, and the final market for the year is being held on Saturday. you can guarantee that anything you pick up from there will be fresh, delicious and locally produced.

Bendigo Wholefoods is another place where you can pick up the freshest ingredients for your Christmas lunch. now is a good time for us to rally round and help local traders, shops and businesses, so eat, drink and shop local this Christmas.

What we don’t need are more tragedies.

It is not a matter of just shutting a gate. ensure your pool fence is fully compliant. Make sure your gate shuts itself.

Many drowning incidents happen when adults are distracted attending to other children, watching tV, carrying out chores or mistakenly thinking someone else is doing the supervising.

We can all do more.

We must. Our central message is keep watch.

editorial

Drugs the key

pk with Peter Kennedy

Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, and therefore the taxpayer, would benefit from reduced drug prices.

It’s time we rattled the sabres to bring the drug companies into line and make the difference to those who are sick, rather than making the shareholders of the drug companies even richer.

The Federal Government has a bit on its plate at the moment, but with effort, people power could motivate the pollies to pull the prices into line.

The Grattan Institute suggests the government could save at least $1 billion.

Now that sounds healthy.

•••

The time is looming when parties are held and drinkers drink, and people perhaps take on a little too much of the Christmas spirit.

There is nothing new in this, but once again Victoria Police will be out in force the curb the worst of it.

While it’s easy to say it’s just revenue raising, the police have a job to do and drivers who speed are in the wrong. There is no real argument. We as drivers know the rules, if we speed we are breaking them.

The same goes for drinking and driving. It’s just not on to condemn

the police for trying to save lives.

Operation Unite is up and running this weekend which aims to stem drinking and disorderly behaviour in public.

It’s a sad fact of life, but when some people drink they want to fight, and the rough end of that falls on the police and paramedics to tidy up the mess.

And what a mess it is.

Drinking to excess is creating a massive problem, and people who drink purely to get drunk while on a night out are the main problem.

Drinking in moderation would not be frowned upon by many, but when it turns nasty and others suffer it’s time to take a long, hard look at fixing it.

Bendigo now ranks in the top five regions where excess alcohol consumption is a problem.

It’s not a very good chart to feature in, let alone hover near the top.

Chronic alcoholism is an illness. It’s a major problem for the drinker, his or her family, and those around them.

It impacts on many. But there is help at hand, and those with a problem need to seek it out.

If not for their own sake, then for the sake of others.

Time for a new look FOR a city of 105,000 where growth is occurring as quickly as it is anywhere in inland Australia, Bendigo needs some inner city renewal.

The Bendigo Bank and Bendigo Marketplace developments of recent years have been wonderful, but in years to come, it would be good to see more buildings extend upwards and more buildings in the heart of our city be rejuvenated.

For many years now, I have adopted a practice of occasionally just sitting in the Hargreaves Mall and looking at the buildings that make up our CBD. Not much, and not enough, has changed in that time.

The roofline of those shops that overlook the Hargreaves Mall has not changed at all over the past decade or so, and that’s not a good thing.

If our city is to continue to

grow as strongly as it has over the past 20 years, we will need more shops, and more new shops, in the centre of town.

Proposed extensions to Lansell Square and the Kennington Village development currently under way are both welcome additions to our economy, but growth in the

satellite development at Marong, Maiden Gully, Strathfieldsaye and Axedale.

But it’s more difficult to access the centre of Bendigo now than it ever was.

There are major bottlenecks and impediments on almost every approach to the CBD, as transport infrastruc-

We are a city blessed with additional options for further satellite development heart of a city is also vital because it’s the place more of us frequent over any other, and a healthy city needs to continue to nurture a healthy heart.

As a regional centre where about 12 per cent of trips to the city are made by bus, Bendigo will always have a high dependence on cars.

We are a city blessed with additional options for further

ture has failed to keep pace with growth and people’s preferred modes of travel.

And finally, I have always believed the much-maligned Walk Bendigo concept had some merit, but only after we find somewhere for people to park their cars in close proximity to the CBD. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

OUR front page picture and story paints a sorry picture of life in Australia.

A young girl with her whole life ahead of her is at the mercy of drugs, or the lack of them.

The sad fact is, a recent report by the Grattan Institute compared wholesale drug prices in Australia with those in New Zealand, Canada and the UK showed Australians pay at least 14 times more for prescription drugs.

Fixing Amelia’s illness overseas would still be costly, dividing the $300,000 bill by 14 still adds up to $22,000.

That’s a mighty difference, and one that could cost countless numbers of lives and reduce the burden on patients and their families.

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Pricing Authority has the handle on the structure, but a recent report on the ABC, quoting Stephen Duckett from the Grattan Institute, said the authority had representatives from Medicines Australia and the Generic Medicine Industry Association as part of the group.

“The drug companies sit on both sides of the table when the prices have come to be set,” he said.

Not only does this affect patients such as Amelia, but the whole

To stand or not to stand...

Steve ponders the pros and cons of running for election

H

AVE you seen all of the messing about in parliament?

Both Federal and State governments have been having a rare old time.

The Speaker in the Victorian Parliament gave them all 10 days off following a bit of a row.

There’s a reason it’s called parliamentary privilege.

Where else would you get time off for questionable behaviour?

I have had a wander through State and Federal parliaments this year, and I have to admit I quite like the feel of the buildings.

Canberra is a classy and polished 25-year-old, and the grand dame in Melbourne is a real beauty.

Polished oak and leather and the atmosphere of impressive importance.

When my days tinkering at the Weekly come to an end, perhaps I will sort myself out a job traipsing the corridors of power in Spring Street.

I could try to be a political reporter, unlikely, but I could rub shoulders with Frances Bell from the ABC, bonus.

I could be a tour guide,

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, December 13, 2013

show schoolkids who sits where and maybe even let them sit in the leather benches and pretend.

I could even sit there myself and pretend.

Best of all though I could stand for election. I reckon that would suit me.

The hours look pretty good, the perks are amazing and when you misbehave you get sent on leave for a couple of weeks.

You get weeks and weeks off for Christmas, you get to do overseas study tours and the expenses are fantastic.

I guess there is a bit of responsibility involved though.

Am I up for that?

Last year I had a run at local government elections down the Calder and it was a bit scary.

Voters are very demanding and become quite aggressive if you don’t follow their beliefs. It was a useful insight into the way of the people.

I wasn’t lead by a party, but perhaps I would need to be if I wanted to take it seriously.

Maree Edwards and Jacinta Allan have put their hands up as preselected La-

bor candidates for next year’s State Elections, and there is a big rush to be counted on the other parties, so maybe I need to find a camp which suits me.

Any ideas?

But it will be a tense old time, waiting for the votes to come in.

I was at Lisa Chesters’ election night gathering for work, and there were some very wide-eyed and terrified moments for Lisa let me tell you, and she was feeling quite confident of victory.

What would it be like as a struggling minor party or independent?

Before I go any further I had best ask the long-suffering Mrs Kendall if she minds me having a go at an election.

I had her sticking stamps on envelopes for the council election and she got a bit bored, and there would be a few more this time.

Oh well, plenty of time to think about it, do I really want to do it?

Maybe I will just elect to stay at the Weekly if they’ll have me, and have a quiet life.

I won’t risk the misbehaving though, reckon two weeks’ leave is not quite how they would deal with it. twitter: @stevekendall1

dear dotty...

Dear Dotty The Christmas party season is here, but I just hate them. Please advise how I should dodge them without upsetting anyone.

Carol, California Gully Dear Carol On no account be concerned about upsetting anyone. In fact if you go to the party you can upset them all the more.

Arrive at least an hour before the party starts and make the hosts uncomfortable. Start eating all of the nibbles and mess around with the table decorations.

Drink a lot very quickly and flirt outrageously with the host’s husband.

Be rude to the children, spill red wine on the light carpet and speak loudly to everyone as they arrive.

Every husband is fair game.

Next Christmas you won’t be invited again and your husband will not take you.

Dear Dotty Christmas time is so tricky. My husband buys me lingerie every year and all I want is chocolate. I’m sure he is buying it to please me, but I just don’t like lingerie.

Especially the red stuff.

Briley, Kangaroo Flat

Illustration: “Wildey”

Dear Briley Men are often like this.

Buying themselves a gift instead of you.

I suggest you buy him tonnes of your favourite chocolate and eat it.

Leave the lingerie wrapped and give it to a work colleague at the next Kris Kringle.

Dear Dotty My boyfriend stays in touch with an ex-girlfriend and still rows with her. It’s like he enjoys it. I’ve asked him to stop, but he says there is nothing to worry about. But I do.

Nick, Mandurang.

Dear Nick He is obviously one very mixed up man. Tell him exes are exes for that reason.

They have exited from his life and need to stay there.

Ask him if he is really committed to you and insist he stops talking to her.

If you have no luck, start stalking her on facebook.

That should do the trick.

foodfossickers

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

Local food industry insider with Marika McMahon

Culinary questions

Brilliant Yotam C

HRISTMAS is drawing closer but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we have reached the end of our long list of wonderful ways you can incorporate local produce into your Christmas celebration.

By following food fossickers youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably got your ham, gifts and special treats sorted, now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to think about the rest of the spread.

This weekend is the Bendigo Community Farmers Market so you can pick up some of great produce there ready for the celebrations.

On the big day, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be having the traditional turkey, ham, pork and roast potatoes but served with platters of salads inspired by the brilliance of Yotam Ottolenghi.

I was lucky enough to have a pilgrimage to Ottolenghi in London earlier this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made it to the Kensington store within three hours of getting off the plane and was so excited I had a big coughing fit as I selected our take out dinner for the evening.

If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch the SBS series featuring the fabulous middle eastern delights of Ottolenghi, you can pick up his cookbooks at Bendigo Wholefoods.

The salads are ideal for whipping up Christmas morning.

My favourite is the eggplant with saffron yoghurt (including pomegranate seeds which are a must have at Christmas time despite being far from local at this time of year).

An Ottolenghi salad that can show off some fine local produce is a couscous and

roast tomato salad.

It combines traditional couscous and the larger pearl or Israeli couscous with caramelised onions and slow roasted tomatoes.

The greenhouse tomatoes which you can pick up at the Farmers Market will be ideal for this dish.

The local touch to top it off is to crumble Holy Goats cheese over the top.

Another great Christmas salad is Ottolenghiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet potato with figs and balsamic.

If you diligently follow the recipe you make your own balsamic glaze by boiling down balsamic vinegar and brown sugar.

That step led to me making two lots of balsamic toffee one Christmas morning, so I now just use a good quality commercial balsamic glaze â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple of great ones at Epicurean.

Otherwise it is roasted sweet potatoes dressed with chilli and garlic and served with the glaze, fresh figs and some soft cheese crumbled over the top.

My food foraging friends tell me that local fig trees look like they will have some fruit ready for this salad by Christmas Day. What about dessert â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if like me you have a family member who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat dried fruit, there are some fabulous local berries coming into all of the local greengrocers which can be easily whipped into a fabulous Christmas dessert.

Far too much time on Pinterest has seen my whipping up many an Eton Mess in a jar this spring/summer.

with Jody and Brent Loam of the Willow Room, Heathcote Q. What is Samphire?

A. Samphire is a green succulent that is found in coastal areas in the warmer months of the year. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called Sea Asparagus, and it has a great salty seawater taste that almost reminds me of the taste of capers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly used to accompany or garnish fish dishes.

Blanch quickly in boiling water before using.

Q. What is a simple cure for fish?

A. A very basic and easy cure that you can use for most fish is 5 parts fine salt to 1 part sugar. I use this simple mix to cure sides of Salmon, Kingfish and recently swordfish which was fantastic. For a 1.5kg side of fish you will need about 600gr of cure. Rub all over the fish and leave for 24hours. Wash off the cure and pat the fish dry, then rub the fish with 50ml of real lemon juice cordial and leave for another 24hours. This sounds a little strange but makes a huge difference and helps soften and balance the fish from the harsh salt.

DELIGHTS: Ottolenghi has a magic menu.

Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much easier than whipping up some meringues to the Ottolenghi meringue recipe then smashing them up with cream and berries.

The hardest part is cleaning the jar.

Q. What is the difference between Quinoa and Couscous?

A. The major difference between these popular staples is one (quinoa) is actually a natural seed that comes from a grainlike crop. Couscous is actually a made product from durum wheat or semolina, like pasta. In traditional methods couscous is made from scratch by hand.

Beauty on stage T

HERE werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as many nervous performers last Friday evening at Victory Christian College for the second and final performance of the musical Beauty and the Beast Jnr at the college auditorium in Kairn Road, Strathdale.

Parents and friends were enthralled by more than 200 students performing one of Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beloved classics, in a story where beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Students from Prep to Year 10 have been rehears-

ing tirelessly since auditions earlier in the year, for the much-loved tale of the cursed prince who must find his true love despite his offensive appearance, in a race against time to find â&#x20AC;&#x153;the oneâ&#x20AC;? before the last petal of the enchanted rose falls.

The audience appreciated their theatrical experience with the students, as the children brought the characters to life in an enjoyable adventure full of friendship, hope, joy and most of all, true love. - Nick Atyeo

ON STAGE: The VCC students brought the characters to life.

A Jolley good story prize O

NE of Australia’s most lucrative prizes for an original short story is now open to short story writers around the world.

This is the first time that the prize has been open to international entrants, and also the first time that writers can submit their short stories online.

ELIZABETH JOLLEY The 2014 Australian Book Review Elizabeth Jolley Short Story Prize is worth $8000.

It has a first prize of $5000 and supplementary prizes of $2000 and $1000.

The Jolley will be judged by writer–academics Patrick Allington and Cassandra Atherton, and ABR Deputy Editor Amy Baillieu.

ABR Editor Peter Rose said ABR is delighted to be able to foster brilliant new writing through its growing program of prizes, fellowships, and residencies.

“The Jolley Prize is very special to ABR,” she said.

“This is the fifth year that ABR has presented the Jolley Prize, named in memory of the late Australian writer.

“Winning the Jolley has advanced the careers of past winners, and will go on doing so for many years to come.”

ABR will publish the three shortlisted stories in 2014 and announce the overall winner during the Melbourne Writers’ Festival.

More information about the Jolley including information about how to enter and eligibility can be found on at www.australianbookreview.com.au The deadline for entries is midnight, May 1, 2014.

Call for portraits I

F you’re an artist there’s a prize on offer, but you have to look south for inspiration.

Bill McCallum’s study of himself, as a 1969 Vietnam conscript, is a fine example of a self-portrait.

He painted the image from memory, prompted when he rediscovered a mate’s photograph of him, snapped 40 and more years ago.

He lies exhausted and unaware. His limp body, dogtag askew on bare chest, appears enmeshed in the metal struts of the portable bridge his squadron had to dismantle bolt by bolt, under threat in the heat and mud.

“Painting this was a cathartic thing to do,” Bill said of the portrait.

“Putting it out there, something I’d made out of the raw stuff, summed up the whole experience somehow.

Once and for all, I’d integrated it into my self in the present.”

Artists are invited to enter the inaugural Maldon Portrait Prize, worth a total of $3000.

The portrait subjects must be residents of the Mt Alexander Shire.

This includes Castlemaine, Newstead, Taradale and the localities surrounding these central Victorian towns.

The shire has its fair share of colourful characters, dignitaries, heroes and heroines both sung and unsung, a veritable living gallery of

interesting individuals.

Maldon is at the heart of a lively arts scene as well as being a prime destination for heritage groupies, foodies and lovers of the central Victorian landscape of hills and river plains.

Organisers say the making of a portrait, whether of the self or another, is one of the most intriguing and intense processes an artist could undertake.

Announcement of the Portrait Prize and the Sponsor’s Prize will launch an exhibition of the 50 works selected as finalists on February 28.

The exhibition venue is the historic Uniting Church in Fountain Street, Maldon.

Entry forms with terms and conditions are available from www.maldonnc.org.au/ auspiced-groups The closing date for entry is Monday, February 3.

BENDIGO HOSPITAL PROJECT NEWSLETTER : SUMMER 2013 Pictured: Health Minister David Davis prepares to pour the concrete for first footings for the new Bendigo Hospital as local MPs Wendy Lovell, Damian Drum and Amanda Millar, representatives from Exemplar Health and workers look on.

Foundations poured for Bendigo Hospital Project The Health Minister, Mr David Davis, visited the Bendigo Hospital site recently and joined workers in pouring footings for the first concrete slab for the state-of-the-art 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. This would fill more than 13 Olympic-size swimming pools.

“Meanwhile, detailed design work on the hospital’s layout and specifications by Exemplar Health, the Department of Health and Bendigo Health staff is progressing, ensuring that this hospital will be at the cutting edge of modern healthcare.”

Member for Northern Victoria Ms Wendy Lovell said the Victorian Coalition is delivering on its $630 million commitment to build a bigger and better hospital in Bendigo.

“I’m proud to see construction on the new hospital is moving quickly and is on budget and on track to be completed in late 2016.”

“This new world-class hospital is one of the largest regional healthcare projects in Australia and will deliver the highest quality healthcare to the people of Bendigo and the Loddon Mallee region in to the future,” Ms Lovell said.

Mr Davis said site preparation works were almost complete, including demolition, clearing and soil testing, ahead of major construction works.

“The new hospital will have 372 inpatient beds and 10 operating theatres, an integrated cancer centre, a mental health unit and a helipad on top of a new multi-storey car park.

“Excavation of the site between the Mercy and Arnold street sides has reached the base and more than 45,000 tonnes of soil has been removed over the entire area,” Mr Davis said.

“It will also provide for 75 mental health beds, including a 35-bed adult psychiatric unit, a 20 bed aged psychiatric unit, a 20-bed secure extended care unit and a five-bed mother and baby unit.”

Member for Northern Victoria Ms Amanda Millar said the project would generate more than 770 construction industry and supply chain jobs.

“At least 300 of those jobs will be maintained for a minimum of three years during the peak construction period,” Ms Millar said.

Mr Davis said the Coalition Government was ensuring Victorian hospitals had the key infrastructure in place to deliver high quality healthcare into the 21st Century.

“The Bendigo Hospital project is among $4.5 billion of infrastructure investment underway at Victorian health services,” Mr Davis said.

Member for Northern Victoria Mr Damian Drum said the Bendigo Hospital project was a great boost for Bendigo and a reflection of the significance of regional Victoria.

“In rural Victoria ware are also funding hospital redevelopments in Mildura, Swan Hill, Echuca, Kerang, Charlton, Numurkah, Ballarat, Castlemaine, Geelong and Kilmore,” Mr Drum said.

Bendigo Hospital Project Newsletter : Summer 2013

BENDIGO HOSPITAL PROJECT SNAP SHOT Bendigo Project fast facts The site may look empty right now, but over the next few years a huge amount of concrete, glass and steel will be used to construct this world class hospital. Over the course of the project:

136,000 TONNES

of soil will be excavated

Pictured: A left hand turning lane has been installed in Barnard Street to assist future traffic flow into Mercy Street.

New hospital entrance roadwork gets the green light Work on the new hospital’s entrance from Mercy Street is more than half way through with a left hand turning lane from Barnard Street now complete. Work is now underway to create left hand turning lanes at the Barnard and Arnold Street intersection, and these works are expected to be completed by late January 2014.

The Mercy Street and Barnard Street intersection will have traffic lights installed. Together with the turning lanes, they will provide safer access to the new hospital precinct and aid traffic flow along Barnard and Arnold streets.

Kids recruited to name cranes Children in Bendigo and the Loddon Mallee have been recruited to help name the four cranes that will build the new hospital during their time on the project. Entries have just closed to find four names, with entrants explaining why they think their suggested name is best.

Four lucky children will have their suggested name emblazoned on the cranes for the duration of the project and will have an opportunity to meet the driver of their crane. The first crane will be erected in January 2014.

Art group unveils plans for hospital hotel Accommodation options for visitors and families of patients from across the region will be boosted with the construction of a 128 room studio inspired hotel on the Lucan Street site of Bendigo Hospital.

The new boutique hotel, unveiled by the Art Series Hotel Group last month, comprises edgy communal spaces and rooms filled with original artworks and prints. The hotel will broaden accommodation choices for hospital visitors, who will have access to affordable, long stay rooms, within the hospital precinct. These accommodation options are an addition to Bendigo Health’s existing accommodation facilities for Bendigo Health radiotherapy patients, which were purchased with community funds.

The hotel is the first foray into regional cities by the Art Series Hotel Group, who are known for their intimate, boutique hotels in Melbourne.

The studio construction will also be a ground breaker: it is the group’s first prefabricated hotel and will be erected in just seven days using Hickory’s modular system technology.

Pictured: Exemplar Health Chief Executive Officer Ms Michelle Morrison, Bendigo Hospital Project Executive Director David Walker, and Bendigo Health’s Chief Executive Officer John Mulder join Mayor Barry Lyons at the announcement of the Art Series Hotel construction.

The Art Series Bendigo Studio will be named after a famous Australian artist, to be announced in February 2014. The hotel is expected to be open in mid 2014.

Pictured: Artist’s impression of the new hospital, looking from Arnold Street.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE The landscape of the new hospital site has changed considerably since excavation work began some two months ago, with around 45,000 tonnes of the total 136,000 tonnes of soil already removed.

In late November the excavation had reached its base between Mercy and Arnold streets, while digging continues on the Hope Street side of the site, where the height of the land is significantly greater. Seventy retention piles, some dug to a depth of nine metres, have been completed around the site.

With the first stage of the design completed, the focus of work has now shifted to preparing for the foundations of the new hospital. This critical step will see two types of foundations prepared depending on the conditions underground foundation piles or pad footings. So far three of the 35 foundation piles have been prepared. The size of the project will see around 33,000 cubic metres of concrete used in the building’s slabs, columns and footings.

With the first stage of the design completed the focus of work has now shifted to preparing for the foundations of the new hospital

Work on installing culverts for the new storm water drain has been carried out in recent weeks, and will allow the old drain to be removed. Among the materials used in the drain’s base were bricks from the chimney and former laundry building, which were crushed after demolition and returned to be used on the site.

Across the hospital precinct other major works are underway.

Preparation works are well underway on the new childcare centre, which will be located in Yarrington House on the current hospital site. The 100-place centre is expected to be open next August, providing childcare for the public and Bendigo Health staff.

On the hotel site, concrete stairwell panels have been installed in advance of the main construction work which will occur over the next few months.

See the latest construction progress Web cameras have been installed at the Anne Caudle Centre Campus, capturing images of site every 30 minutes.

You can view the latest webcam images at www.newbendigohospital.org.au.

UME & Iser Home Hardware might be where the tradies go but it is also an ideal place for your Christmas shopping, especially if you are after an ideal gift for

a builder or a serious DIYer. The Spear and Jackson Air Coil Nailer, uses plastic or wire collated nails and could be ultimate gift at less than half price.

IGHTEEN-year-old Josh Flowers is the new Australian Fly Fishing Champion with ex Bendigonian David Mapleson finishing 23rd from a field of 55 competitors in the Australian Championships held in Tasmania recently.

In the same week, on a fishing trip to the central Tasmanian Highlands, a Bendigo youth, George McCullough, experienced success at Lake Kay. After spotting a fish cruising the edge of one of the lagoons above Lake Kay, George caught his 1.5kg brown trout with his first cast.

George took his fish back to his hotel and the chef cooked it. From all reports it was delicious.

I have also been in Tasmania fishing with less success than the youngsters.

One highlight however

FLY FISHING

JOE SINGE was going with a group of friends to the Australian Fly Fishing Museum which is housed in a cottage in the grounds of Clarendon House near Evandale, Tasmania.

We were very impressed with the displays and the information available in the museum.

On display is one of the wooden boxes used to carry fertilised trout and salmon ova by clipper ship from England to Australia in the 1860s.

This was a difficult feat given that the ship had to cross the equator and refrigeration didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist.

All of the displays in the Fly Fishing Museum have been donated, many by fly fishing clubs in Victoria.

For instance, there are photographs of the famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dome Holeâ&#x20AC;? at Lake Eildon, which is now under water, but will be remembered by older fishers. There were also many other familiar prints and photographs.

More memorabilia arrives weekly and they are always eager to obtain more relics of our fly fishing past.

They even have an old modified Bantam motorbike used by Noel Jetson and Clyde Spencer to ride the rough terrain into the Western Lakes in Tasmania in the 1960s.

A highlight for me was the flies on display that were tied by R.H.Wigram. These flies are probably the most delicate that I have seen.

Go to www.affm.net.au to find out more or donate to the museum, which operates under the National Trust of Australia.

Super Series proves popular

T

HE Central Victorian Lure Casters Super Series recommenced in November for their first round for the current season at Lake Eildon.

A near record 96 anglers enjoyed the hospitality this catch and release competition is renowned for.

Shane Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara of Echuca returned home with a smile almost as big as his fish, a 60cm Golden perch earning him a $670 cash prize for the largest fish of the round.

However Brad Murray leads the point placing with 143 points winning him the large Prize board and $290.

Overall 12 perch were caught along with a few redfin, carp and two trout.

Round two is scheduled for January 19, on the Goulburn River in the Mitchellstown district near Nagambie.

The Super Series provides a relaxed, regular competition environment to

Young anglers prove their mettle against older hands

F you’ve been fishing recently and haven’t landed a fish, you obviously need more practice and a more positive attitude.

Because, with the warmer weather finally arriving, the fishing activity has greatly increased.

Just ask some of the junior members of the Bendigo Legion Angling Club who have recently shown plenty of senior members a thing or two about the finer points of this great pastime during the last two club outings.

Ideal weather greeted the 44 Bendigo and Heathcote anglers at the third Derrinal Classic held last month at Eppalock.

Anglers enjoyed varying levels of success with both redfin and Golden perch caught.

Golden perch captures were rare with only a handful of perch landed, with Carl Kerschbaumer of Heathcote landing the largest perch, being a 50cm fish.

Heathcote’s Steve Lomas also landed a 50cm Murray cod, a promising sign for the future.

However it was Toby Atyeo’s 44cm and 36cm redfin (that’s 80cm of combined redfin) on the one cast that helped Bendigo out-fish our Heathcote rivals.

Toby’s effort also helped us, as a

FRESHWATER FISHING

NICK ATYEO father and son team claim the best bag of redfin along with Toby being awarded the prize for largest redfin on his remarkable double hookup.

A paternoster rig rigged with soft plastics retrieved slowly but erratically proved irresistible to the hungry redfin.

This rig has proved invaluable over the last few years especially when rigged with the 50mm to 65mm Squidgy fish range of soft plastics.

Drop Bear, Killer Tomato or Garry Glitter colour schemes seem persistent fish takers.

A smaller plastic can often be utilised as well, rigged as a stinger above the first presentation on a shorter dropper.

But last weekend it was back to natural bait for the majority of fish caught at our Cod Opening trip incorporating the Russell Ford memorial trophy, at View Bank on the Edward River just outside Denilquin.

Current club champion Leigh Williams was looking to have it in the bag for the

WINNING EFFORT: James Harvey and his Murray cod.

trophy on the Saturday evening.

Leigh had angled a nice cod around the 70cm mark on bait, being the only legal sized cod reported from the 28 anglers attending.

But other members had other ideas the

Last weekend it was back to natural bait for the majority of fish following morning, with junior member James Harvey generating plenty of interest and envy with his magnificent 77cm cod, taking home the trophy.

Bob Bayliss came a close second with a 74cm cod also angled during the same session.

Young Mick Ripper also troubled the club statistician with two solid Golden perch caught in excess of 50cm, again on bait.

Overall six legal Murray cod were caught and nine Golden perch from 35cm to 52cm.

All but one Murray cod and two Golden perch came from soaking a bait, probably due to poor water clarity due to recent rain.

The Bendigo Legion Angling calendar resumes again on January 12, for a day trip to Bridgewater on February 15 and 16, for a trip to the Goulburn River at Nagambie.

Gareth said.

Steamatic technicians are also fully trained in the art of mould remediation.

Technicians not only take care of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;visible mouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but also the non-visible airborne spores.

Steamaticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air cleaning systems allow you to rest assured that airborne levels of

mould spores are returned to a healthy natural level.

If you are sensitive to dust and pollen, Steamatic can clean your air conditioning and heating ducts, allowing you to breathe easier.

Their state-of-the-art duct cleaning system allows Steamatic to clean and decontaminate your heating and air conditioning ducts while a hospital grade HEPA air filtration system prevents the pollutants from being redistributed.

So, next time you have a catastrophic event like flood or fire, you can call Steamatic and be assured of professional, diligent service at all times.

The new kid in town h

AvIng been in Bendigo for only a year in 1906, harry (henry) Astwood Ross, was approached to challenge a long time Bendigonian and councillor, J h Curnow for the honour to represent Sutton Ward at the council table.

Some of Bendigo’s establishment voiced their displeasure that Cr Curnow should be opposed at all, especially someone who was so new to the city.

Interestingly both Mr Ross and Mr Curnow were in similar lines of business, auctioneering and real estate. golden Square was the heartland of Sutton Ward and it was there that Mr Ross began his campaign in a meeting at the Fire Station. he had chosen well, as the Fire Brigade was very much at the heart of the community and was considered to be neutral ground, sectarian wise.

W A hamilton was the chairman on the occasion of the campaign opening who described Mr Ross as “a straightforward and honourable man, who would look after their municipal interests”.

Mr Ross was praised and admired for his pluck to come out against a can-

didate who it could not be said “had a mortgage on the seat”.

Mr Ross made a number of very practical points during his campaign, including the use of Axedale bluestone as road metal because the mullock from Bendigo’s mines was unsuitable as it powdered under the steel tyres on the wheels of carts, wagons and those of lorries.

Another suggestion was that the dust carts which collected household rubbish should have covers to prevent the contents from falling onto the roads, creating a health hazard.

Further, regarding the electric cables that were being laid in the footpaths for house and business connections, the paths should be properly reinstated and not be just left in any condition.

When the Sutton Ward votes were counted Mr Ross received 1165 and Mr Curnow 1119, so much to the surprise of many, the interloper won.

Mr Ross demonstrated a good ability regarding council matters and was respected among his peers so much so that he became mayor of the city in 1912. harry Astwood Ross

was born at Bungaree near Ballarat in 1870, his parents were Charles Astwood Ross and Caroline Ross nee Acton, they hailed from england. harry Ross was brought up in Ballarat. he met and married his wife Alice M hyams in Ballarat in 1894. After the couple arrived in Bendigo, the Ballarat Courier from time to time reported on their past resident harry Ross and his activities.

With the planned visit of the officers and men of the American great White Fleet in September 1908, Mr Ross was appointed by the council as one of its representatives on the Welcome Committee. he also involved himself with other organisations such as the easter Fair Society of which he later became Secretary upon the resignation of longtime member h M Marks.

While the great War and its profound effects on the community he became secretary of the War Savings group, which was another way of assisting the effort.

During his mayoral term in 1912 Councillor Mr Ross reinstituted the past practice of having a Mayoral Ball, this was a very well attended event,

School of Mines empty T

no interloper: Councillor Harry A ross as mayor of Bendigo

it was always considered to be an event of great social standing.

Immediately prior to the Ross family arriving in Bendigo in 1905, the new city market designed by William Beebe had already come into operation.

This market building entrance faced Williamson Street where it was double storied.

The market ran for some distance along hargreaves Street, the corner is now occupied by the Post Office.

When the council

advertised for a lessee of the market in 1918, Mr Ross applied and was appointed.

Upon his successful candidature as lessee, Mr Ross almost immediately resigned as a councillor otherwise there would be a conflict of interest.

During Mr Ross’ time on the council he continued to push for the pitching of the street gutters in bluestone, so in the older established residential areas of the city, give a thought to this past councillor.

he end of an era has arrived at Bendigo TAFe, where after 120 years of continuous usage, the School of Mines building on McCrae Street now lies empty of students.

The funding woes of the TAFe sector, due to government cuts, has meant the grand old building lies empty, except for a few administrative staff.

Since the foundation stone was laid in 1889, the building has been the hub of vocational education in Bendigo, training generations of miners, engineers, artists and tradespeople of all types.

The building once boasted a museum, containing many rare objects from local Aboriginal tribes and the gold mining industry. There was also library as part of the Mechanics Institute, now a restaurant.

The prohibitive costs of maintaining such a large heritage building has meant that TAFe needs to focus on more modern accommodation for staff and students.

The corridors, once bustling with students and instructors, now echo only to the footsteps of an occasional security guard, and the leaves rustling in from busy McCrae Street.

What’s little and green?

an award winning bean BeNDIGo’s coffee haven has brewed up a storm, taking home bronze for its house blend.

Bendigo born Brewhouse Coffee roasters, has crushed the Australian Golden Bean competition taking out third prize for its java.

Brewhouse owner Corey Scoble entered his traditional house blend into the espresso (Short black) category for the first time.

“I am not really into awards but I thought I’d give it a crack. I am really proud of the blend,” he said.“I didn’t expect to win anything in a pool of 1300 entrants.”

With 20 years coffee experience, Mr Scoble said this was the most personally rewarding award he had received.

“I have had a passion for coffee for a long time,” he said.

“It is good to get recognition for the coffee and it’s good for Bendigo.”

The 2013 Golden Plate winner is branching out, taking up another 80 customers since purchasing a distributor in Port Fairy.

“We have expansion plans and want to keep growing,” Mr Scoble said.

As the Bendigo palate develops, Mr Scoble said Brewhouse will continue to adapt and enhance the coffee connoisseur experience.

“The secret to coffee is experience and learning.

Coffee changes every year, it is evolving,” he said.

“We are keeping up with it and learning.”

Brewhouse Coffee roasters, open seven days at 402 hargreaves Street Bendigo.

Emu Valley Cricket Association – Division 1

tigers dominate game United set Axe Creek a massive task for victory smashing 9/397, while Marong have already claimed first innings points against Maiden Gully on day one of play in round six of the emu Valley Cricket Association. the tigers’ top order dominated against the Cowboys as Josh Filo (85) Luke Kairn (59) Andrew Gaul (57) Andrew Collins (56) and Alex Collins (43) all got among the runs. dave Cannings was the best with the ball for Axe Creek taking 2/72, with the Cowboys needing a monumental effort to win their second game of the season.

At Ken Wust Oval, West Bendigo have taken the upper hand against Mandurang, posting 259 before taking the key wicket of Matt Giri to leave the Rangas at 1/9 at stumps.

Matt dwyer made a solid 78 and Joel Purdy (59) also notched up a half century for the hosts while Ben Rodda took three wickets for Mandurang, who are looking to find their way into the top four. the Maiden Gully top order again crashed and burned as they had no answer for the tight Marong bowling to be dismissed for only 81.

Only Paul Martin and Rob Binks (both 18) showed any real resistance as dean Cosgriff 4/17 led the way for the Panthers, who resume at 3/82 his week

Hockey club takes honour

StRAtHdALe Hockey Club was recognised as Victoria’s top community sports club last week, at the Victorian Government’s 2013 community sport and recreation awards.

Strathdale, also known as the tigers, took out the Community Sporting Club of the Year gong.

Club president nicole Hood was thrilled with the award, and said it reflected the hard work put in by everyone at the club, attributing the success and growth of the club to the many volunteers who help both on and off the pitch. “the club has focussed on a growth strategy of top down bottom up recruitment, and removing barriers to participation,” Ms Hood said.

“We introduced JetS (Just enjoy the Sport) teams for mature players who may not be able to commit to playing every weekend or training on a weekly basis.

“And with the implementation of our club based Hook-in2-Hockey program at the start of the season, we added two under-11 teams and another under-13 team, so an additional five teams into the local competition this season” she said.

Another major factor in the club’s growth has been the increase in volunteers at the club, along with the high level of facilities. “Without the level of support that the club gets from our members and their families and friends, we would not be able to field the 12 teams we have,” she said.

“We really are very privileged to have the excellent playing surfaces that are available to us in a regional city.”

Gold heads north for Swan Hill games BendiGO Gold will play home games in Swan Hill and echuca in the 2014 VFL season, extending the club’s reach into northern Victoria. the fixture for 2014 was released this week, with the Gold also hosting standalone clubs on five different occasions throughout the season. the Gold’s campaign kicks off with a night game against 2013 grand finalists Geelong on Friday, April 4 at the Queen elizabeth Oval.

Bendigo will play four Friday night games at the QeO: the opener against Geelong, round three against essendon, and round four against Western Bulldogs, before finishing the season in round 20 by hosting Collingwood.

Coach Aussie Jones said the club is extremely happy with its draw, despite a slate of challenging games. “the club is excited about hosting five AFL standalone VFL teams, four on Friday nights and one on a Saturday night all at the QeO,” he said.

“We’re also excited about the two regional games in echuca and Swan Hill. ‘‘the travelling draw is ex-

tremely tough, but as always this young group will meet the challenge head on.” the Gold will host newly formed standalone team Richmond on a Saturday night in round 18, the only Saturday fixture of the club’s five night games.

Home games are also scheduled for round eight in Swan Hill and round 11 in echuca, against north Ballarat and northern Blues respectively.

AFL Victoria state league and talent manager John Hook said the increase in playing clubs and more feature matches would help increase coverage of the competition next year. “it is pleasing that clubs are looking to build relationships with regional areas to help promote the game, and showcase our state league competition to a wider audience,” he said. “night games have proved successful for clubs to provide an alternative time for supporters and general VFL fans to attend games, and it is encouraging that there has been an increase in these games in the fixture.”

Bendigo Spirit coach far from complacent despite 11 wins in a row

Harrower’s looking for more

By JOEL PETERSON

HALF way through every school year teachers hand out mid-year report cards detailing what students have done well to that point, and what can be improved in the second half of the year.

Bendigo Spirit coach Bernie Harrower put his teacher’s hat on handed out his mid-season grades for the team this week, and while they are gunning for a dozen consecutive wins and have an 11-1 record, Harrower handed his side a seven out of ten.

“On a scale from 1-10, we’re probably around about a seven.

We certainly haven’t hit our peak, there’s no question about that,” Harrower said.

“We’ve had some outstanding individual performances that have won us game and in terms of our team defence we’ve been very good, but I think we’ve struggled at the offensive end against differ-

ent teams. If you wanted to take it further, I’d say we’d be around a six on offense and an eight on defence so far.

“We’re doing enough to win games at the moment, but certainly not playing to the level I expect.

Harrower, and daughter Kristi, were named the league’s coach and player of the month for November after leading the Spirit to a 5-0 record during the month.

Both have said all season that the team has plenty of room for improvement, and the reigning WNBL coach of the year believes that will mostly come on the offensive end.

“We’ve been pretty good on defence, but we’ve got a hell of a lot of work to do on offence,” Harrower said.

“It’s not so much about what we’re doing, but just getting players in form and getting to a stage where they’re feeling good about

themselves, shooting the ball well and playing instinctively.

“We’ve been up and down from the perimeter. We’ve had great games and others where we wouldn’t have been able to throw it into the ocean, and we need to improve that.”

meeting before Tuesday night’s training session.

“We were pretty disappointed with our game against Melbourne, we had some breakdowns defensively and offensively we just didn’t play together,” he said.

“We sat down on Tuesday night

We certainly haven’t hit our peak, there’s no question The Spirit had to grind out a hard-fought win against Melbourne last round, leading by as many as 15 points before winning by only five points in a thriller at the State Basketball Centre.

Harrower was anything but happy with his team’s performance, and reaffirmed the commitment required to achieve the team’s goals at an in-depth team

and had a big session on video and broke the game down, analysing what we did and didn’t do well.

“We also spoke about the commitment level of the group and what we want to do and where we want to take this team “Then we went out and had probably our best training session for the year, so it was pleasing to get a really positive response from

the group.”

The Spirit play Sydney Uni on Sunday at Bendigo Stadium, before hosting Dandenong next Friday in the last game before the Christmas break.

Not only do the Spirit want to finish strong before the two weeks off, but they need to rest some tired bodies and regroup heading into the season’s toughest stretch.

“We are fatigued, we’ve travelled from one end of the country to the other. We play the four teams below us twice in our remaining games, so it won’t be easy,” Harrower said.

“We want to finish top, and I’ve always said it’s not about how you play before Christmas, it’s about how you come out after the break.

“Once we click and get it all together, we’ll be a very good basketball team. Will we get there? Only time will tell.”

Sunday’s home game against Sydney Uni tips off at 2pm.

Legends take time out to care From Page 44 The two Australian legends ran a clinic with students from Kennington and Camp Hill primary schools, before heading to the Mitchelton Winery for a fundraising dinner.

“It’s always nice to see the kids getting out there and having a hit and you can just tell that some of these kids are really gifted,” he said.

“A lot of our cricketers come from country areas, so it’s great to come out here and give something back.”

The 52-year-old became involved with the MS Foundation after a number of close friends were diagnosed with the disease, and says it is an extremely important cause to get behind.

“I’ve got a couple of friends that unfortunately contracted this insidious disease. There’s no cure for it, 23,000 people in Australia now have it, made up of around 80 per cent women between 20 and 40 years of age,” Jones said.

“It costs nearly a $1billion to care for and four people per day are being diagnosed with it.

“People that have MS don’t like to be called sufferers, they like to think that they live with it. They say that the family really suffer from it, but it’s an ugly disease that it would be fantastic to have a cure for.”

SILVER: The BSSC girls made it to the final, but lost to Redlands Girls School.

Bendigo shines at championships THREE Bendigo basketball teams have excelled at the recent Australian Schools Championships in Melbourne.

Bendigo Lady Braves coach and Bendigo Spirit assistant Jonathan Goodman was at the helm of the Lions’ gold medal winning side, led by frontcourt star Jordan Mangan.

Mangan scored 23

points in the U20 division two boys decider over Aquinas College, while Tyler Romeril contributed 12 in the 60-55 win.

The Girls team took home the silver medal after a big fightback against Redlands Girls School in the final, after going undefeated through the pool stage.

Bendigo Lady Brave Elise Strachan stepped in for Goodman as coach of the Girls’ side for the final, but after trailing by 21 at half time the Lions could not make up the ground, going down 3544.

Ashes twist predicted

By JOEL PETERSON

FORMER Australian captain and cricketing legend Allan Border believes England will bounce back in the third Ashes test at the WACA Ground in Perth.

Border was in Bendigo this week for the MS Ashes Trek with fellow former Australian representative Dean Jones.

The former skipper said he believed the English were a better side than they have shown so far.

“England are a good enough side to win one test match but I’m thinking we can win one of the next three as well,” Border, who scored 11,174 runs in 156 test matches for Australia, told the Bendigo Weekly.

“England are a better team than they’re showing and their backs are against the wall now. ‘‘It’s a bit of a situation where they think ‘we’re not playing our best, let’s throw caution to the wind’, and if they do that they could be very dangerous.

“The Aussies have played well though. Mitchell Johnson has been unbelievable and Brad Haddin is born again. ‘‘Michael Clarke has got a harder edge to his captaincy and (Australian coach) Darren Lehmann has instilled the fun side of the game back into the team.”

While Border has been surprised by the way the opening two tests have unfolded, Jones said he had expected the home side to come out on top.

“I predicted this to happen, but if England select their right team coming into Perth

England are a better team than they’re showing and their backs are against the wall and have a bit of luck, then I reckon they’re a chance to bounce back,” Jones said.

“I don’t think our batsmen like the ball to be pitched short either. This test series isn’t over yet by a long way.”

Jones has long been an ambassador for numerous charities, and his MS Ashes Trek from Melbourne to Sydney raises funds and awareness about multiple sclerosis for the MS Foundation.

Bernie says there’s room to improve AFTER half of the Bendigo Spirit’s games in the 2013/14 Women’s National Basketball League season, the defending WNBL champs are 11-1.

Despite this, coach Bernie Harrower still believes

the side can improve. Harrower shared his midseason report card for the Spirit this week, and the team’s grades may come somewhat of a surprise. Continued Page 43
