ISSUE 851 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2014

Bendigo’s blackest day IT was Bendigo’s greatest natural disaster.

Five years ago, fire ripped through the north western flank of Bendigo, killing one man, Mick Kane, and destroying 58 homes.

Across the state, 173 people died on Black Saturday as Victoria turned to ash.

The man who played a pivotal role on the day, and in the aftermath, was former Member for Bendigo West Bob Cameron.

As Emergency Services Minister, he saw things no one should ever have to see, and he has some dire warnings.

THE next stage of the $38 million Lansell Square expansion and refurbishment at Kangaroo Flat has begun.

The centre is undergoing a full refurbishment as part of the works, with this next stage to involve a complete upgrade of the centre’s amenities.

The redevelopment works began in November with the construction of a new 4337 square metre Coles supermarket and new 650 square metre Reject Shop, both of which are well under way and due to complete September and April.

Owner Charter Hall’s development manager Will Green said Lansell Square retailers will continue to trade throughout the next stage of the construction period,

and customers have been told they still have access to car parking and shopping will not be impacted during the works. “We are progressing on time and on budget and it is exciting to get this next stage of works underway,� he said. “Our vision is to create a superior shopping environment for our customers and on completion of the redevelopment works, Lansell Square will be the only centre within the broader Bendigo region to incorporate both a Coles and Woolworths full-line supermarkets.�

Works are also scheduled to begin next month on the construction of nine external specialty retail stores and the centre’s existing mall will undergo a full refurbishment, due for completion in July.

The amenities upgrade is due to be completed in April, with the entire project scheduled to be completed in February, 2015.

On completion, Lansell Square will offer additional ongrade car parking, two full-line supermarkets, upgraded facilities and 18 new specialty retail stores, bringing the total centre to 22,611 square metres.

THE Bendigo residential property market is waking up from its annual summer slumber.

All agents reported strong interest last week, with auctions being a popular way of selling early in the season.

There were 19 auction listings in the Bendigo Weekly, with C.R. Martin having six. “I picked up another four last week for March 22,� principal Clive Martin said. “They should all sell.�

Mr Martin said a key to a successful auction was a different selling point. “Auctions create a sense of urgency, and there needs to be a

reason for that,� he said. “Whether it be a large home, a heritage home or near a lake, auctions can be very worthwhile.�

Rob Ketterer of DCK Real Estate said this time of the year was popular for auctions. “It is quite normal,� he said. “People have made decisions over the Christmas break that they want to auction and have put it off until late January, early February to start the marketing.�

Mr Ketterer said the high end is continuing to do well. “The $1million sale is not a real benchmark anymore,� he said. “The next benchmark will be the $2m mark.�

Matt Leonard of Tweed Sutherland First National, who listed historic Ravenswood Homestead last week, agreed it had been a strong week for local agents. “People were out and about last week, and it was busy,� he said.

Cox back at helm

at www.bendigoweekly.com.au

By ANTHONY RADFORD

GREATER Bendigo councillor Peter Cox has been reinstated as chairman of a key local mining environmental group.

The Bendigo Weekly revealed last Tuesday Cr Cox was sacked as chairman of Unity Mining’s Kangaroo Flat mine Environmental Review Committee Cr Cox said his sacking came on the recommendation of Unity Mining to the Victorian Government’s Department of State Development Business and Innovation.

He said his removal came about because as a councillor, he spoke and voted against the expansion of a mine at Costerfield, a mine not owned by Unity Mining.

After meeting with Cr Cox and Unity Mining, Energy and Resources Minister Nicholas Kotsiras, who was not told of the sacking, asked on Wednesday for Cr Cox to be reinstated.

He also announced a review of the ERC concept across the state.

Cr Cox welcomed both decisions.

“This is all about having a strong terms of reference, with responsibilities clearly spelled out

so this sort of thing doesn’t happen again,” he said.

“Our next meeting is mid March and I am hoping we can all work together for the best interests of Bendigo.

“There are a lot of issues to deal with going forward.”

Mr Kotsiras’ decision came after the Bendigo And District Environment Council called for a judicial inquiry into the past 25 years of gold mining and exploration in Bendigo, in light of Cr Cox’s sacking.

BDEC mining spokesman Si-

multiple state and local government departments.

“An inquiry could document those failings then recommended procedures to prevent such a recurrence in Bendigo or elsewhere in Victoria.”

Mr Perrin said there were concerns about the local rehabilitation prospects of the former mine sites.

“There was never any evidence that a substantial body of ore was present, yet doors miraculously opened, politicians and local dignitaries lined up for photo oppor-

This is all about having a strong terms of reference, with responsibilities clearly spelled out mon Perrin said Cr Cox’s sacking raised further governance questions.

“The sacking of Cr Cox is only the latest in a very long line of poor decisions that have facilitated mining against the best interests of the Bendigo community,” he said, “BDEC is calling for a judicial inquiry, independent of government.

“The Bendigo community deserves an explanation for what appears to be a massive failure of governance within, and across,

tunities, forests disappeared and toxins appeared. How did this happen?” he said.

“These are further examples of peculiarities in governance over the 25 years life of this mining operation.” ”We need to prevent the recurrence of these types of environmental nightmares and complete the long-promised rehabilitation of degraded mining sites across Bendigo.

“BDEC believes Bendigo is entitled to know at what level were decisions being taken, and more

importantly in whose interest were they made?

“What prompted trusted public servants and politicians to seemingly disregard the future health and environment of Bendigo and its citizens on an unproven resource.”

Mr Kotsiras announced a review of the ERC concept across the state.

“While most ERCs operate effectively, there is, in my opinion, a need to review the establishment and operation of these committees to ensure they are effective forums for industry and the local community,” he said.

“To that end, I have asked the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation to develop a statewide review of ERCs which will consider committee establishment processes, membership and governance.

“The review will also assess other potential models of community consultation in other jurisdictions.”

BendigoWeekly The Weekly says: MINISTER Kotsiras must be congratulated for reinstating Cr Peter Cox and taking a closer look at the entire committee structure.

Scots on a day out THE accent will be on family and celebration when Bendigo hosts its second Scots Day Out in Rosalind Park on Saturday.

Hundreds of visiting pipers, dancers and clansmen are expected to join with thousands of Bendigo people and visitors from across the state.

This year’s program has been expanded to include Scottish storytelling and even more tastes of Scotland with food and drink.

“We have no fewer than 14 local organisations involved in the day and an army of volunteers helping Golden City Pipe Band as we celebrate Scottish culture,” event director Chris Earl said.

Scots Day Out kicks off at 10.30am with a parade down View Street of 14 bands and a hundred highland and Scottish country dancers.

Events will run until around 3pm with the focus on family fun.

“Scots Day Out will be a real hoot this Saturday,” Mr Earl said.

DANCE TIME: Danika Hill, Brodie Wilson, Eliza Poulter, Bianca Guley, Matilda van Maanen, Julia Wellard and Macklin Wellard.

Main party candidates line up THE four main candidates for Bendigo’s two state election seats have been all but set.

As revealed at www.bendigoweekly. com.au during the week, Jack Lyons was the only candidate to nominate for Liberal Party preselection in Bendigo West.

He will take on Maree Edwards, in a seat the Liberals are confident in.

In Bendigo East, Greg Bickley was the only candidate to nominate for the Liberals.

Under Liberal Party rules, local members will receive a letter advising them of the single nominations, and they have a set time to write back if they disagree.

If 20 per cent disagree, the preselection is opened up again, however this has never happened in the party’s history.

Mr Bickley said he could not comment on the process.

Ms Allan wasted no time in welcoming Mr Bickley.

“Greg Bickley spent an estimated $1 million to win the federal seat of Bendigo and lost,” she said.

“If Greg Bickley is the Liberal candidate in Bendigo East he can spend another million dollars trying to cover up the Liberals hacking into TAFE and jobs at Holden and SPC, but I will take him on over the key things that matter to families and workers.”

Well-known local Steven Oliver almost won Bendigo West at the 2010 election, narrowly losing to Ms Edwards.

The former Nationals candidate is 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 its 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.

BLACK SATURDAY – FIVE YEARS ON IT is five years today since Black Saturday claimed 173 lives in Victoria. CHRISTINE McGINN spoke to two Bendigo residents who lost their home on that fateful day.

Ominous warning of future fires

By ANTHONY RADFORD

VICTORIA’S former Emergency Services Minister has delivered an ominous warning to Bendigo on the fifth anniversary of Black Saturday.

Bob Cameron was in charge of the CFA on Black Saturday, as well as being the Member for Bendigo West.

He said five years on, Bendigo’s worst natural disaster could happen again, and it could be worse.

Mr Cameron said a great effort by local firefighters on the day limited the fire’s crowning.

“If that hadn’t have hap-

If you live anywhere near the bush you are not safe

The lucky ones MAREE Stockdale and George Stirling lost everything on Black Saturday except each other.

Cooped inside their home, oblivious to the heat, the Maiden Gully couple were unaware of the danger surrounding them.

Mr Sterling was asleep on the couch and Ms Stockdale was on her computer before she tuned the radio to ABC which was warning residents near Bracewell Street to evacuate.

She woke George and ran outside to see and smell the smoke.

“It was horrible, surreal, it was as though it wasn’t happening. I was surprised I didn’t panic. There was smoke everywhere but you could still get out… but I lost George in the smoke,” Ms Stockdale said.

Unaware there were flames; Mr Sterling was at his prized floor to ceiling bookshelf, taking photographs before collecting his tools and favourite elephant ornaments.

MOVING ON: Maree and George in the same spot one year after Black Saturday.

“It took ages to get him out, I started driving out (with the dogs) and I thought he was following me but he stopped to chat to someone at the gate,” Ms Stockdale said.

“We’d have been dead if we stayed.”

A lone policeman sternly told Mr Stirling to leave now or be prepared to die. Mr Stirling quickly got in his car and left.

The Derwent Gully Road home, cornering Albert Street, was in the direct path of the blaze when it hit.

The fire tore along the road, destroying home after home, leaving few untouched.

Ms Stockdale said they made it to the first emergency evacuation cen-

Are you injured?

You may be entitled to compensation

Sometimes you are not going to get warnings,” he said.

“On a terrible day like that, where do you want to be?

“When you live in the urban area you think you are safe. If you live anywhere near the bush you are not safe.

“It can be worse for Bendigo. We have to ask ourselves, on these days, what do you want to do? Where do you want to be?”

Mr Cameron said his memories of Black Saturday and the aftermath were still vivid.

“The next day I went to Gippsland and one of my memories was people were just like refugees,” he said.

“I have very clear images of people shell shocked, especially with the speed it all happened.

“I wet to Marysville and it looked like a massive bomb had gone off in the entire town.

“I saw centuries old trees twisted. I saw an old freezer, the ones that would take six people to lift, 100 metres away from where it was before the fire came through.”

Mr Cameron said a greater dispersal of information was a key lesson from Black Saturday, but people shouldn’t rely on it.

“The key thing to all of this is there is a greater information flow now, but people have to be realistic and don’t expect someone to tell them what to do,” he said.

tre safely before fire was upon them again.

Driving separately, the couple were unaware of each other’s movements and afraid for their lives. But at a moment of despair, Ms Stockdale saw her partner driving towards her.

“We both tooted and pulled up. A big embrace,” Ms Stockdale, a former La Trobe University lecturer, said.

Remnants of the house’s former glory remain. Green and white Victorian bathroom tiles, slightly broken, are a reminder of the old home.

Ms Stockdale lost a decade’s worth of her daughter’s artwork and memorabilia from her son’s years at Richmond Football Club. Continued Page 10

pened, Ironbark would have been burnt,” he said.

“All those cottages would have been lost.”

Mr Cameron said had the fire started a touch north, the situation could have been catastrophic for Bendigo.

“If it started east of Marong earlier in the afternoon, it would have run south, then the south westerly wind would have come in at about 30km an hour,” he said.

“The whole western flank of Bendigo would have been under attack.

“From Eaglehawk down to Kangaroo Flat would have been under ember attack, and the front itself.

“A lot of Bendigo would have been burnt.”

Mr Cameron said such a scenario showed why the lesson of Black Saturday should be heeded.

“You can’t rely on the information being there.

Library makes the connection

By DIANNE DEMPSEY

IT’S not a yellow brick road, but it runs from the Lyttleton Terrrace entrance of the new Bendigo library building, right through its centre, to the Hargreaves Street entrance.

“The idea of a connecting footpath or walkway is so people can easily take a short cut through the building and have a look around them as they go,” Marg Allan, the library’s project director said.

And indeed this yellow brick road glows with possibilities.

Filled with colour, multiple textures and numerous spaces, our superb, state of the art library belongs to all the people of Bendigo.

“People who don’t usually come to the library are now joining,” Ms Allan said.

“It has become a much more egalitarian place, open to people from all walks of life.”

The library is a triumph for the city’s planners.

People who don’t usually come to the library are now joining “We spent nearly three years asking people what they wanted,” Ms Allan said.

“We visited local and overseas libraries and combined the best of what is around.

“We believe our library is the biggest library in Victoria outside the State Library.”

Built on two levels, the new library has incorporated the bones of the original building including the lift and staircase, the Senior Citizens Centre and the old Campbell Theatrette which is now an open, versatile performance space.

The library functions on several levels, including that of a lending library, a meeting place, an arts and activity area, a gallery and museum, an archives centre, a cafe and a com-

Walking around the stacks you may come across a group of women knitting and chatting; a librarian at an information desk waiting to help.

Screens give you updates on library events and programs.

Children laugh and play in nooks and crannies.

Since the library has re-opened Ms Allan said that there have been more than 300 new members.

“I’ve loved seeing people desperately scrambling to pay their fines to join up,” Sarah Major Cox, literacy and children’s literature expert at La Trobe university said.

“Bendigo is a city that has literacy issues and the library will be important in countering those literacy problems.

“Personally I’m looking forward to sitting in the cafe and reading the magazines, and you can wander off with a cuppa as well and browse through the stacks.

“I think the library will also appeal to young people.

“This is a great space that Bendigo people can embrace.

“I can see it being popular in summer and winter, people will be able to come in from the cold.

“I can also see this as a tourist attraction. Visitors to our city will be just as delighted with the library as they will be with the galleries.”

Mayor spreads the word

TODDLERS had a treat this week when mayor Barry Lyons was the special guest.

Donning the mayoral robes, Cr Lyons read Dear Zoo at the new generation Bendigo Library.

This is the first Toddler Time since the library re-opened to the public.

Cr Lyons used the occasion

to invite families from across Bendigo to attend the community celebration on Saturday to mark the launch of the new-look library.

“No matter how young or old you are, the new generation Bendigo library offers something for everyone,” Cr Lyons said.

“The celebration from 10am

to 2pm will showcase all this exciting facility has to offer and will also feature live entertainment, activities, exhibitions and workshops.

“Performers will include The Blurbs, Bendigo South East Secondary College Stage Band, the Gamelan Indonesian Orchestra and the Bong Bong Hat Band.”

councils join for stronger voice LoDDoN Campaspe councils have joined forces with other regional and rural municipalities to seek renewal of vital State Government funding programs.

Three State programs have delivered $360 million over four years for initiatives in rural and regional areas through the Country Roads and Bridges ($160m), Local Government Infrastructure ($100m) and Putting Locals First ($100m) funding streams.

Chair of the Loddon Campaspe Councils group and Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Barry Lyons said councils need to show a united front and demonstrate the valuable role that State funding had played.

Greater Bendigo council has received $2m from the LGIP for the new generation Bendigo Library and $200,000 from the PLFP for the Safe Transport Space in central Bendigo

Day in your shoes New Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters is stepping out to discover how she can help the people in her electorate.

So much so, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking one day each month to walk in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes.

Ms Chesters kicked off the A Day in Your Shoes project by visiting a number of mental health services on wednesday.

She shadowed staff throughout the day, attended a handover in the morning and sat in on a clinical team meeting.

Ms Chesters said the aim of the project was to learn about the organisations, the challenges they face, and how government can better support them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Day in Your Shoes is a way for me to get out in the

community and find out exactly what support central Victorian organisations need,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be visiting places such as Mind, who do an incredible amount of work in our community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a way for me to find out how we can better assist the people who are accessing these services.â&#x20AC;?

BeNDIGo looks set to lose more vital public service jobs amid reports the Australian Tax office will close in Bendigo.

The ATo has flagged its intention to close 10 regional offices around Australia in the Draft Regional Service Delivery Project report.

Federal Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters said the closure will leave eight staff in the Bendigo office with an uncertain future.

By STEVE KENDALL

YOUNG Citizen of the Year, Skye Kinder, is coming home.

Born and raised in Bendigo and graduating from Bendigo Senior Secondary College, Ms Kinder will undertake her practical medical training at Bendigo hospital this year following time at University of Melbourne.

Ms Kinder is 22 and already regarded as a high achiever.

During her illustrious university career Ms Kinder has travelled to America to complete a medical research internship with a professor from Harvard University and has also completed a medical ethics and health policy internship with a senior advisor to the Obama Administration.

Despite this worldy outlook, Ms Kinder knows where she will be using her skills.

“I will definitely be working in regional Australia,” she said.

“I also think I will be working in general surgery and general medicine rather than anything more specific. But you never know, I may fall in love with something.

“There is lots of support for medical professionals to work in regional areas, but some people from the cities may be apprehensive, until they try it.”

Health Students’ Network Council, which represents 9000 Australian University students on rural health issues.

Ms Kinder takes the involvement a step further.

“We have some great social events,” she said.

“It’s great to spend time with these young medical professionals.”

As president of the Ru-

I also think I will be working in general surgery and general medicine Ms Kinder said there is an emphasis on students experiencing work outside of the cities.

“But to be a regional doctor, you have to want to be part of the community, or it’s no use to you or the community,” she said.

Ms Kinder is involved in rural health promotion and is president of the University of Melbourne’s Rural Health Club and sits on the National Rural

ral Health Club, Ms Kinder has expanded a number of rural health initiatives within Victoria and leads workshops at public schools including Weeroona College Bendigo.

“The workshops are designed to highlight how enjoyable working in a health profession can be and identify ways to study them at university,” she said.

Ms Kinder runs a national exchange program

for medical students, which she expanded to Bendigo, Townsville and Cairns to ensure students who choose to study in rural hospitals receive equal opportunities.

“I want to breakdown the notion that working rurally as a doctor limits what you can achieve in a medical career,” Ms Kinder said.

Ms Kinder is also committed to raising the profile of rural health care on an international level and represented Australia at the International Federation of Medical Students Association General Assembly in Chile last year, and will again represent Australia at the same event in Tunisia in March.

Greater Bendigo council announced Skye as Young Citizen of the Year for her dedication to rural health promotion and academic success.

“When mayor Barry Lyons called me I didn’t believe him,” she said.

“It was an honour, and a big surprise.”

Home loss hard to believe

SUNNY VIEW: George and Maree say they were lucky.

ď&#x20AC;łFrom Page 5 But her biggest heartbreak was losing her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters after she died.

Hundreds of elephants were sent to them as gifts, as locals were aware Mr Stirling had lost his treasured elephant collection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really believe it. You still have dreams that things are still there,â&#x20AC;? Mr Stirling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To lose everything doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really make sense.â&#x20AC;?

But the former furniture makers and antique collectors are back on track after years of renting.

Vines twist and creep around the veranda of the new home, while the tendered garden blooms.

case lines the walls of the dining room, a wooden ladder is tucked into the corner to reach the top shelf.

Wood from bridges in Avoca and Gippsland, (the later dated 1865) form the housesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beams, and add a sense of warmth to the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel extremely lucky.

Every day is a magic day to wake up to, because we mightnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have survived that day,â&#x20AC;? Ms Stockdale said.

The Tony Ryan-Builder home even won the Best Custom Built Home Up To $350,000 award at the 2013 North Western Victoria Regional Housing Awards, with an eight-star energy rating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought it would never come back, the place, to what it was. But it has,â&#x20AC;? Mr

Stockdale said.

But the smell of smoke on hot days still causes their hearts to race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to build safer. We have followed all the fire-safe garden designs.

We had no second thoughts about coming back,â&#x20AC;? Ms Stockdale said.

The couple is prepared for another fire; the campervan filled with essentials to ensure they can escape on â&#x20AC;&#x153;those really hot daysâ&#x20AC;?.

One survivor, a slightly charred, wooden rocking kangaroo, is perched on the deck of the houses as a reminder of the horrors of Black Saturday.

Smiles pass between the couple. Ms Stockdale and Mr Stirling know they are the lucky ones.

Group aims to protect our woodland heritage

Fears for forest A BENDIGO environment group is calling for better protection and management of the Wellsford State Forest.

Their key move involves placing it into the Conservation Reserve System and was the critical point at a meeting last night.

Convenor of Bendigo and District Environment Council, Stuart Fraser, expressed the urgency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wellsford really needs to be protected now as the next coup to be exploited for firewood will be the ancient tree site,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will destroy something unique, and of immense value to Bendigo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Current wood utili-

Mr Fraser said to his knowledge there are only

great ecological value. It bridges the gap between the protected areas of the Greater Bendigo National Park and the Campaspe River,â&#x20AC;? Mr Fraser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If protected, these areas would create a nationally-significant block of continuous protected

woodland in Central Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If damaged the loss is irreplaceable.â&#x20AC;?

BDEC believes firewood extraction is an example of how the current forest management is failing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unsupervised teams of contractors cut beautiful trees which provide habitat for many creatures,â&#x20AC;? Mr Fraser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Such disturbance displaces many birds and animals, and effects feeding and breeding patterns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As National Park this forest would become the backbone of any Central Victorian Biolink and would be of great social and economic value to the community.â&#x20AC;?

According to the AEU, nearly 60 per cent of principals said the withdrawal of VCAL funding had contributed to the need to cut other programs.

AEU Victorian deputy president Justin Mullaly visited Bendigo Senior Secondary College on Wednesday to announce the findings of the survey, and said the lack of funding has led to schools having to cut some programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Principals across the state, and particularly in the Loddon-Mallee region and in Bendigo, are deep-

that critical funding.â&#x20AC;?

BSSC principal Dale Pearce said the school, which has more than 280 students enrolled in vocational programs, had made cuts across the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have over 280 students doing VCAL programs, and it has impacted on us across the board in terms of having to cut back in different aspects of the school.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own research shows that

year 11 and 12 education is around three per cent more expensive than other years, because of the need to provide VCAL and a breadth of choice for students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So at the same time as the government has its own figures that shows that year 11 and 12 education is more expensive, we have had a cut from funding for VCAL, and those vocational students who really need that support.â&#x20AC;?

Doney then and now

Old and new

By DIANNE DEMPSEY

IN the final of our series based on the Allan Doney photographs, we see once more the travesty of the council inspired, architectural decisions made in the 1960s.

The former Court House Hotel in Pall Mall and the City Family Hotel in High Street had their verandas pulled down in accordance

with council by-laws. As a consequence both buildings look denuded and somehow exposed.

The city fathers also had an irrepressible need to build a facade over the original Bendigo Art Gallery. In what could only be described as a triumph of 1960s ugliness, they covered the textural interest of the original building with thousands of cream bricks.

Historian James Lerk says that Doney’s meticulous nature was reflected both in his day job as a tailor and his great passion – photography.

Once again we would like to acknowledge the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) for their permission to use the Doney images.

The contemporary images were taken by our photographer, Andrew Perryman.

CLOSE WORK: Allan Doney excelled in his skill as a photographer and his trade as a tailor. His shop was above Allan’s Walk.

NEW LOOK: The easily recognisable scenes of Bendigo show a changing council view since Allan Doney took his photographs.

BENDIGO ART GALLERY: Recovered victim of 60s architecture.

Super Saturday

CHANGING: Naomi Boyd and Peter Randall.

Time to retire SATURDAY is generally super, but this week Bendigo is taking it one step further.

The CBD will be abuzz with a range of activities taking place for Super Saturday.

The regular Bendigo Community Farmers’ Market is on at Sidney Myer Place, from 9am until 1pm where you can support a local farmer and buy fresh food and produce.

The New Generation Library community celebration continues at the Bendigo Library, Hargreaves Street from 10am to 2pm where you can enjoy fun activities at the

community celebrations for the new library.

The Scots Day Out and Bendigo Highland Gathering join up for a Parade down View Street at 10.30 am, with activities to follow, so get ready to kick up your heels.

Greater Bendigo council public spaces activation officer Karen Cresswell said summer was the perfect time to enjoy Bendigo.

“Bendigo enjoys wonderful summer weather and the Super Saturday list of events gives people of all interests the perfect opportunity to venture outdoors,” she said.

VARIETY: Though it’s destined to be a hot one, there is plenty to do this Saturday in Bendigo.

FOR nearly 40 years, Peter Randall has been the halls manager at St Andrew’s Uniting Church, a voluntary position he has devoted his life to in his retirement.

He offered to be the bookings officer for the Property Board of the then Presbyterian Church when the use of the halls and meeting rooms was restricted to church activities.

Gradually more and more community groups began seeking accommodation for conferences, exhibitions, formal examinations, rehabilitation and support groups, training workshops, concerts, dance and choir training and other regular weekly or monthly meetings.

So the need for an effi-

cient hospitable halls manager grew and Peter slipped right into the role and grew it to include seeing to issues of maintenance and refurbishment.

Peter’s family has been active in the Bendigo community for three generations.

Peter turns 80 soon and has decided that it is time to taste real retirement.

Taking over the role of hall bookings is St Andrew’s administration assistant Naomi Boyd who works at St Andrew’s office in Myers Street.

St Andrew’s members will celebrate Peter’s generosity over so many years in the main church hall on February 15 from 6pm.

Australians one and all I personally strive for the day when I don’t describe someone as “you know, the Indian guy” or “that little asian girl” It shouldn’t even come into my thinking. so, thank you to steve Kendall for such wonderful and oh so true words, about australia Day. Janet Wilkinson, Bendigo East

Big brother is watching you australIa 2014: the nation wages war against an invisible enemy army of “illegal maritime arrivals” under a strategically vital information blackout on “on-water operations”. the venerable national broadcaster, aunty, is relentlessly stalked and maligned by a powerful Big Brother, who contemptuously advises citizens to comprehend what he and his ministers mean, rather than what they say.

Big Brother’s Minister for Immigration and Border protection promulgates a new truth: Ignorance is strength. as the nation slides further into a vacuum of doublethink, citizens begin to understand a new and comfortingly patriotic dictum: War is peace and Freedom is slavery.

Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Are our priorities right?

My mind boggles when I hear that the Victorian Government can afford to spend $50 million to sponsor a two week Grand prix race in Melbourne, when our Federal Government cannot find $25 million to subsidise the spC ardmona plant in shepparton and save 1000 direct and

3000 indirect jobs for at least the next 10 years.

Maybe these orchardists should start growing peanuts instead, so we can feed our politicians.

Pink stumps support on behalf of the McGrath Foundation I’d like to thank each and every community across australia for showing their support by registering for this year’s pink stumps Day. We’ve already had an overwhelming response and can’t wait for some of that pink test magic to be brought into communities from Bundaberg to Bunbury and everywhere in between. pink stumps Day has been helping the McGrath Foundation hit a “six” since it began in 2011 with more than 2500 clubs, schools, communities and businesses stumping up to support the McGrath Foundation.

But this year we’ve set a challenge of bowling over all previous years and aim to raise $1 million through our pink stumps Day initiative. the success of pink stumps Day is a direct result of the support we receive day in, day out from communities. and it’s through support like this that has enabled us to ensure 25,000 families experiencing breast cancer in australia have had access to a McGrath Breast Care nurse.

We recently hit our own Maiden ton with the funding for our 100th McGrath Breast Care nurse and hope that through fundraising efforts such as pink stumps Day we will be able to realise our goal of funding 150 McGrath Breast Care nurses, as only then will every family experiencing breast cancer have access to op-

timal care. there’s still time to register your team or show your support at an event that may already be happening in your area.

More rational comment needed MIChelle Goldsmith’s correspondence of January 24, bolstered by her giggling teenagers, concentrated on opinions opposed to the building of a mosque and picturesquely expressed through Facebook and twitter.

While Ms Goldsmith thinks those jotting down a few notes are “fringe lunatics”, she remains mute on the Muslim lunatics persecuting Christians throughout the Middle east. under prevailing sharia law, non-Muslims are forced to pay a tax imposed on infidels.

In Iran, egypt, syria and Iraq Christian churches are being looted and burned.

Christian minorities are subject to ongoing kidnapping, murder and expulsions. Iraq has lost one million of its 1.4 million Christians. those left, mainly the old and the poor, are unable to flee. two letters of January 31, by stephen Mooney and Frank salmon introduce a balanced view into the debate. neither opposes the building of a mosque but both have no illusions about Islam’s influence and the dictatorships exposed by it.

Both have produced rational correspondence. let us hear more from them and much less from the hapless MsGoldsmith.

Inspector calls on veranda removal haVInG read the Bendigo Weekly Issue number 849, in particular the article

by Dianne Dempsey about then and now photographs by allan Doney, I would like to comment on the comparison pictures of the hopetoun hotel in Mitchell street.

Dianne asks the question,”where did the veranda go?”, and I can easily answer that for her. as a young man, probably around 1214 years of age, which would put the year in the late 1960s, I assisted my father allen thomas Keast, who was a local builder in Bendigo, to dismantle the veranda of the hotel one weekend.

I remember doing the job because the local building inspector at the time caught us at work and dad had not applied for a permit to do so and as such we were told in no uncertain terms

to cease work immediately.

Well we stopped work and went into the pub for a counter lunch, dad had a few beers and I had a pub raspberry. after lunch we checked to see that the inspector had gone and continued work and finished the job.

Dad went into the council office and applied for a permit on the Monday morning.

I remember that he got into a bit of strife over that job which was not unusual for allen as he always had little regard for rules and authority. the veranda had to be dismantled due to the danger of motor vehicles hitting the supporting posts which at the time were too close to the gutter, a common problem in Bendigo at the time. allen and his then apprentice, Fred addicoat also demolished the scales of justice

HIGH LIFE: Demolition on a different scale. that were on top of the law Courts as the structure was crumbling and a hazard. at the time it was a dangerous job and Fred later told me that no one else would take it on so they got the contract. a photo was taken of them balancing precariously on top of the

with Peter Kennedy

The scars remain FIVE years ago to the day, the firestorm forever known as Black Saturday wreaked havoc upon Victoria, tragically claiming 173 lives, including one Bendigo resident.

Looking back at what happened on the day, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened since and what have we learnt and put into practice to be better prepared for future fire events, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to think that Victoria has come a long way.

The internet and the accompanying mobile/ digital technology that we now rely upon so heavily, and that are so entrenched in our lives today, were both but relative minnows in 2009.

No one would claim that the technology we have available to keep us informed about fire conditions is perfect, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot better than what we had back then.

The commitment from successive state governments and the CFA to continually enhance both the way information is relayed to the community and how potentially lifesaving fire warnings are communicated has become a process of continuous improvement.

The media plays a far greater role in fire awareness today, and there is a greater, and rightful, expectation from the community that this is the case as well.

A Royal Commission has looked at what went wrong, and what went right, on that fateful day, and we are undoubtedly

better prepared and more aware of what could happen next time.

Sadly, Black Saturday was an expensive, and deadly, education for the people of Victoria. Locally, none of us would have thought that a fire could push its way so far towards the heart of the city.

And we continue to flirt with danger as our city expands in all directions ever closer to the forests and grasslands that encompass Bendigo.

To counter this, we now have stricter requirements about building homes at the rural/urban interface, and these rules exist to protect the community.

But the ultimate responsibility to know the conditions, and the risks, and to prepare for the advent of the fire season, has always been with you and me.

Our paid and volun-

teer firefighters were simply magnificent on Black Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as they have been on the countless occasions since whenever the call goes out and the pager goes off.

I have no doubt their work on Black Saturday saved hundreds of homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I still remember one very senior CFA officer telling me early in the night that Bendigo would be lucky if only a couple of hundred homes were lost.

That the flames claimed just one life (but still one too many) and only 58 homes is at the very least, testimony to the actions of those who fought the fires.

There are very large sections of Bendigo that were spared the full onslaught of the fire front on Black Saturday due to the efforts of firies and residents in places like Batten Street, California Gully.

Their dogged determi-

nation and bravery in the most horrific of conditions is something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anyone will.

Perhaps it was a miracle.

I often wonder how those people I encountered on February 7, 2009 are doing today, because while the landscape that was so shockingly scorched on Black Saturday continues to recover, the internal struggles for many Victorians continue.

For thousands of Victorians, the pain still lingers and the emotions are still raw.

Some scars from Black Saturday will never heal, and those who lost loved ones, whose properties were lost or who witnessed the true horrors of Black Saturday remain in our thoughts and prayers. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

Beat the heat I

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S too hot to eat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely too hot to cook. Yet, you know you need to eat more than frozen grapes.

Clever shopping is part of the solution. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dropping the fruit and veg order into Norm Quin at Quinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bluebird fruitshop in Mitchell Street on Friday putting in an order to pick up on Saturday morning.

This has a few advantages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I am organised for the week ahead and Norm and I get to spend a few minutes pondering the fortunes of the Carlton Football Club.

With a fridge full of great fruit and veg itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much easier to fling together some salads to get you through the hot evenings.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve fallen hard for a cous cous salad from one of my favourite cookbooks â&#x20AC;&#x153;What

Katie Ateâ&#x20AC;?.

The salad is a combination of Iranian (the bigger pearl sized) cous cous, peas, bacon, preserved lemon, mint and feta.

It seems to only get better if you make a big batch and work your way through it over a few days.

A friend had a brilliant idea for a meal on an over 40 degree night.

On the way home she popped into her favourite Turkish takeaway and grabbed take away lamb only.

Once home she turned it into a warm lamb salad, serving it on mixed lettuce and then dressing with mint, feta and so on.

A well balanced meal, ready in 10 minutes and nothing had to be switched on in the kitchen.

Art in room form MARK Schaller has been named as the artist namesake for Bendigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Series Studio hotel, as part of the new hospital redevelopment.

Due to open in May, the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official name will be The Schaller Studio.

Mr Schaller, a well-respected Melbourne-based artist, was a founding member of the ROAR studios in Melbourne; a bold group of artists united by their interests in expressionism and primitivism.

He works fluently across a variety of art forms including sculpture, ceramics, and painting.

In Victoria, he works from three studios; a large paint-

ing studio in Richmond, an enormous sculpture studio in Abbotsford and for bronze works, he travels to the Garage Art Foundry in Elphinstone, a space that has been casting and fabricating sculpture for artists for the past 20 years.

Throughout his travels, Mr Schaller captures his experiences in rapidly executed watercolour paintings.

His landscape paintings see complex scenes distilled into abstracted series of lines and shapes.

Mr Schallerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work will manifest in many forms throughout the hotel, from original paintings in each room, wooden, steel and

bronze sculptures throughout the garden and an eight metre high mosaic on the entrance wall to the hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bendigo is really romantic and has a fabulous history,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking forward to spending more of my time here, using the city and its surrounds as inspiration for the work that will feature in the rooms of the hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today the city is the vibrant art centre for regional Victoria and I intend to start uncovering some of its hidden gems, highlighting the best the area has to offer as it grows into a unique destination for art lovers around the world.â&#x20AC;?

HEN a friend suggested to Ronald â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traderâ&#x20AC;? Faulkner that he write an autobiography his reaction was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would be the point? Who would be interested in an ageing actor from the past?â&#x20AC;? Despite his doubts, Inside Trader is an entertaining and humorous account of a life full of scandal, romance, disappointment and struggle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perverse from the moment of conceptionâ&#x20AC;?, Trader was the son of silent-film actor John Faulkner and ballerina Sheila Whytock.

He grew up in Sydney, a tearaway who earned his nickname at the age of seven by smuggling his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bootleg whiskey into school and trading it for marbles.

Friend and mentor Peter Finch set him on the path of becoming an actor, and at 22 he moved to London to pursue a â&#x20AC;&#x153;glorious theatrical careerâ&#x20AC;?.

While never as triumphant as planned, he became an established actor whose career led him in all sorts of unexpected directions. He starred opposite Laurence Olivier, inherited a fur-lined jockstrap from Richard Burton, and met Picasso on a beach in the south of France. He

weekly words with Steve Kendall

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

The great sheepscape I

FOUND eight sheep in the wrong paddock at the weekend.

They looked like they were from the main mob, but hey, who can tell, they all look the same.

Anyway, this small group looked quite at home and I began to question their escape route.

To get where they were they would have had to get through two fences and cross a lane.

My mind leapt to those old war movies such as the Great Escape and the like, where tunnels had been dug and fences had been scaled.

But sheep don’t appear to have as much drive in them as shot down airmen in prisoner of war camps.

There was not a motorbike to be seen either.

So come Sunday morning, remember the 43º day? I was out in overalls looking for fence breaks.

I was wearing overalls as protection from the searing 11am heat, but nothing else.

I found a couple of likely sheep-escape holes where some drainage ditches had eroded and set to work with pliers and wire.

Let me tell you, it’s a fun job in the height of summer.

The flies pitched in to help, and within the hour I had sealed the escape routes.

The errant sheep were still in the wrong paddock, but I should be able to sort that with

Steve gets hot and bothered dealing with recalcitrant ruminants

Zip my kelpie in training.

The sheep eyed me with contempt in the way sheep do, and carried on grazing.

I was looked on as the prison camp guard who they had got one over. Some of their number had escaped.

By 1pm I was ready to have a go at getting the escapees back.

I arranged gates in a certain way and called the kelpie.

Zip was not impressed at being hauled out from under the veranda, and sloped off in the direction of the escaped sheep.

I got half way and Zip

stopped, turned around and headed back under the veranda.

I tried to explain to him it was his job, but I think in the heat he had a point, however, I had sheep to move.

I put him on a lead and took him to the sheep and he proceeded to do the opposite to what was needed.

He had obviously decided to teach me a lesson for trying the mad dogs and Englishmen routine.

After Zip successfully split the sheep into two groups of four and sent them in opposite directions away from the gate

he ran back under the veranda not to return.

I guess he had the right idea really, so I went indoors and left the sheep to their own devices, at least no more would be able to join them.

As evening wore on I noticed heat was building on my chest.

My overall-wearing was a good idea apart from the bare bit down the front.

Sunburnt for my sins. If they knew, both Zip and the sheep would be laughing, best keep it to myself.

dear dotty...

Dear Dotty I have had an ever increasing feeling that I am psychic. Whenever the phone rings I just know who it is before I answer.

Whenever anybody tells me anything I just know what they are going to say.

“I knew you were going to say that,” I tell them.

The other day my sisterin-law rang me up and told me that something terrible had happened. I said to her, “Don’t tell me, the dog died.”

The dog didn’t die but her husband has to have a hernia operation so I was pretty close I reckon.

I’m thinking of applying for a loan and setting up a business as a clairvoyant what do you think?

Sandra Dear Sandra, I’m psychic too. I always win at the races by closing my eyes and letting my finger hover over the form guide like a divining rod.

Whatever horse my finger lands on, always wins.

If it doesn’t win, it is usually because it was scratched, fell over or was in a bad mood that day.

You could call your shop, “Know it all Sharon” Dear Dotty, My manager at work said that the business is going to undergo a period of stabilisation. What do you think this means?

Damian

Illustration: “Wildey”

Dear Damian, You should be worried. Along with structural changes “stabilisation” is the latest weasel word for giving innocent men and women the old heave ho.

Dear Dotty, My boss has put out a statement that he doesn’t want to see any flowers delivered to the office on Valentine’s Day. I think this is a bit mean. My boyfriend always sends me flowers and the other girls are always jealous, now all my fun has been spoilt.

Disgruntled, Cheryl Dear Cheryl, Cover Mr Grumpy’s desk with dirt and plant a couple of punnets of petunias on it.

You can call it a living desk or some such thing.

Pure gold from Wales G

OLD Dust Lounge is hosting a night of original music from Aaron Wales’ two bands We The Radio and Run Dear City, mixed with some genuine old school blues played by Alawishus Jones on Saturday.

Run Dear City has recently released a five-song CD which is sure to draw some attention, the band features Wales on guitar and Lauren Jennings on cello.

“The cello is a natural accompaniment for the acoustic music I play, the songs are written for cello, guitar and piano,” Wales said.

“I asked Lauren to perform on one song of the CD, and she ended up on all five.

“The sound works really well.”

Fast track fame

INGER Laura Stitt huddled into the corner at her parents’ house for best phone reception, and revealed all about her rise to fame as part of Uncle Jed. From Byron Bay gigs to network television is a big step, but through four performances the band won through on Australia’s Got Talent 2013, the reception was really good on TV. Uncle Jed, Laura and her cousins Danny and Shannon Stitt, are in the process of recording their second album due for release in this year, but before that there’s a tour including the Musicman Megastore on Saturday.

“It’s our first national tour,” Laura said.

“Our lives have changed massively since winning the show, we’ve been able to quit the day jobs and concentrate on recording new songs and writing.

“We were growing a following in Sydney and Coffs Harbour, and were certainly getting gigs, but nothing like this.”

Australia’s Got Talent led to mixed feeling by the band members.

“We were pretty sceptical at first,” she said.

“But we decided to do the show

and thought even if we went out on the first episode, at least it would be getting some TV exposure.

“Then as it went along we thought maybe we could win.”

When the time came for the result Laura was not quite ready.

“We had done okay, with no major stuff ups, but the nerves and adrenalin was amazing,” she said.

“When we found out we had won it was surreal and amazing. A numbing feeling I can’t describe.”

You can see Uncle Jed at Musicman Megastore on Saturday at 8pm.

We The Radio have been performing together for a little more than 12 months with the omnipresent Colin Thompson on drums and Greg Perry on bass.

“We play well together, we listen to and create spaces for each other,” Wales said.

“For one reason or another we only managed an hour of rehearsal over a three-month period and then played a gig.

“We played well on the day, we got straight back into it.”

The Run Dear City CD is available from Muso’s Stuff in Mitchell Street or www.aaronwales.com Music kicks off on Saturday from 9pm until midnight at the Gold Dust Lounge, with free entry.

heritage matters

Finding his niche T

heRe were a good number of members of the Bendigo Mine Managers’ Association.

Like many organisations, the membership of this mining managers’ group was far from universal.

A number of the managers early in the 20th century bemoaned the fact that the mine managers of eaglehawk were not well represented on the organisation, yet there were a large number of mines on that portion of the Bendigo Goldfield.

The Association even experimented in having some of their meetings at eaglehawk in order to make it easier for those managers to become involved and thus attached to this professional group.

To give the full title of the organisation it was inclusive enough, being known as, the Bendigo and District Mine Managers’ Association.

The goldfield itself was also known at all official levels as the Bendigo Goldfield.

People understood that the field incorporated Sedgwick in the south to beyond Sebastian in the north.

The Association could only lament that there was a minority of mine managers who for reasons best known to themselves were not part and parcel of the membership.

Members of the Bendigo and District Mine Managers’ Association were keenly involved in welcoming the sailors and officers of the American Fleet. As pointed out previously the managers

acted as guides to the visitors.

One of the mine managers who was to act as a guide to a number of the visiting Americans was Frank Bray Brimacombe.

Mr Brimacombe was Cornish, as were the vast majority of Bendigo’s numerous mine managers. his parents were married at Kilkhampton, Cornwall, they being John Jordan Brimacombe and Julia Grace nee Bray, hence the middle name that they gave their first born Frank at hales in 1862.

In the year 1869, the Brimacombe family emigrated to the colony of Victoria, Frank, John Charles and baby sister Annie accompanied their parents on board the Southern empire. The family landed in Melbourne.

Frank Bray Brimacombe began work as a miner and gradually managed to better himself.

On March 22, 1899 Frank married ellen Barker who was born at Kadina South Australia in 1867.

The young couple were to have their first two children at Ballarat, they next moved to Maryborough where they had Annie.

Upon coming to Bendigo, a son, Clifford, was born in 1896 followed by George in 1900 and the last addition to the family was Cecil in 1906.

Mr Brimacombe’s first appointment in Bendigo was at the Shamrock Mine on the New Chum Reef, the mine was situated between the Golden Square Fire Station and the Bendigo Creek. he was the underground manager at the Shamrock where

Guns fire up a response W

in charge: Mr Brimacombe was appointed manager of the new red White and Blue consolidated mine (above).

he gained the great respect of the miners who worked there.

The Brimacombe family lived at 129 Creek Street, not far from the mines in which Mr Brimacombe worked and the Golden Square Methodist Church, where he held most of offices at one time or another. he was a teacher of the men’s Bible class, the Sunday School superintendent as well as being an active local preacher.

If the commitments of the above were not sufficient Mr

Brimacombe was additionally an active member of the Corona Lodge.

A feather in his hat came early in the 1900s when he secured the management of the New Red White and Blue Consolidated mine on Sheepshead, near Quartz hill adjacent to the City of Greater Bendigo’s Council Depot.

This appointment came about due to the resignation of William hicks, a highly regarded manager when this mine position then became available.

e had a fantastic response to our story last week about the old German gun sitting in the park in Castlemaine.

We wanted to know if it could possibly be one of the guns given to Bendigo after the First World War, most of which have now disappeared.

Bill Clark from the RSL museum wrote in to say the gun had been up in Kalimna Park in Castlemaine, one of five guns given to Castlemaine after World War I. Unfortunately only three of these guns survive, two of which are proudly on display in Victory Park in Castlemaine.

Doug Mills of Castlemaine provided some fascinating background to the history of the gun, recalling how he played on it as a boy, even trying to oil it to get it working again.

Doug was also able to clear up what happened to another of the Castlemaine guns, a rare mountain gun which was sold for scrap in 1961.

That’s sadly the fate of so many of these relics – do you have any information about Bendigo’s lost guns?

- Peter Thompson.

HE Sustainable Living Festival raises awareness for change by promoting solutions to the ecological and social challenges we all face.

The festival aims to inspire Australians in accelerating the uptake of sustainable living.

Many Bendigo businesses have already incorporated the ideals behind the festival and are already making it easier for residents to practice a more sustainable lifestyle.

Organisations such as Bendigo Sustainability Group promote and facilitate sustainable living practices, be it bulk buying solar power, sustainable gardening, water conservation, sustainable transport, community education programs or even policy development.

Bendigo’s Community Farmers’ Market is the ideal venue to buy fresh, regional and seasonal produce in a friendly relaxed environment.

Held the second Saturday of every month from 9am until 1pm at the Rosalind Park end of Williamson Street.

Peppergreen Farm are a community volunteer organisation that sell freshly grown seasonal vegetables to Bendigo businesses on a regular weekly basis, with assistance from their volunteers and support workers.

In 2014 the Bendigo Library is

also promoting this year’s festival with countless workshops or a range of activities including a session, Permaculture at Home.

Join Brian Hosking, local permaculturalist and Stephanie Alexander School gardener, to explore the history, ethics and principals of permaculture on Saturday, February 15 at 10.30 am.

Or join Kerry Punton of Puntons Poultry for the secrets of successfully keeping backyard chooks – from choosing the right breed to feeding and dealing with pests – on Wednesday, February 19 at 6pm.

UDDENHAM’S Carpet Court was recently awarded Dunlop’s Recycler of the Month Award for their effort in helping create a cleaner, greener enviroment.

Dunlop with the help of Tuddenhams are Australia’s largest recycler of foam underlay, processing in excess of 10,000 tonnes annually.

Enough to fill the MCG. Tuddenhams will be now be eligible for the Dunlop Recycler of the Year, chosen from more than the 400 retailers nationally who participate in Dunlop’s environmentally friendly recycling programs.

“We have been part of the Dunlop recycling program for the last two years,” Tuddenham’s Flooring Centre manager Rod Hamilton said. “We now return between 10 to 15 bales of foam back to Dunlop for recycling each month.”

According to Dunlop their underlays are now made of 90 per cent recycled material and are 100 per cent recyclable,

carpets or vinyl flooring, think Tuddenhams Carpet Court, your environmentally friendly retailer.

We have been part of the Dunlop recycling program for the last two years. being another significant step towards achieving global sustainability.

Campaign in the bag

D

ID you know that if you take your used plastic bags to your local supermarket they can be recycled?

Supermarkets across Bendigo have bins specifically for plastic bags and yet very few people know about them.

Rachel McConville, Education Officer for the Calder Regional Waste Management Group, has made it her mission to get Bendigo resident’s recycling their plastic bags.

“Every day hundreds of thousands of plastic bags are being thrown away across Australia. Often they never make it to landfill because they are blown away by the

wind and pollute streams and waterways,”Rachel said.

“More and more sea animals are being found dead with plastic in their stomach after they eat the bags thinking that they are food and there is a very simple thing we can all do to stop this happening. Recycle our plastic bags.”

It isn’t just your standard plastic bag that can be recycled using the supermarket bins.

Fresh fruit and vegetable, bread and frozen food bags, as well as biscuit and confectionery packaging, rice and pasta packets and reusable or ‘Green’ bags can also be placed in these bins.

Most of the major

supermarkets throughout Bendigo provide plastic bag recycling bins, however they often aren’t labeled and are difficult to locate.

Every day hundreds of thousands of plastic bags are being thrown away During February the Calder Regional Waste Management Group will be launching a campaign to raise further awareness of this worthwhile initiative.

For more information contact Rachel McConville on 0419 106 461.

A SMART INITIATIVE: CRWMG’s Rachel McConville and mayor Barry Lyons doing their best to promote a more sustainable future.

F you’re an energy conscious homeowner that has invested your money in a solar electricity system, you’ll want the best return from your investment.

Solar’s dirty little secret has led us to believe solar panels do not need any maintenance to achieve optimum performance.

Manufacturers and common sense tell us this is not the case and this is where Bendigo’s local dedicated solar panel cleaning service – Solar TLC can help.

Solar TLC, a family business, has been operating in Bendigo since May last year and have recently relocated their operations to Kangaroo Flat from McIvor Road in East Bendigo.

“To celebrate the move we have an special introductory offer of a $65 clean [*maximum 16 panels] for all new customers during February,” Solar TLC’s Ella Barker said.

“We also offer referral and pensioner discounts as well as fixed price agreements to keep your costs down as we recommend getting your panels professionally cleaned at least annually, to keep your system performing at it’s best.”

If your hot water system is old and showing signs of age, it could be a disaster waiting to happen. Don’t blow your chance to take advantage of our $500 trade in offer for your old system so you won’t be left in the cold.

Call us now for a free on-site inspection and you could be back in hot water within 24 hours with $500 less to pay.

Hurry, offer ends 28 February 2014.

BEFORE

AFTER “I’ve even referred Solar TLC to my friends who have solar panels as I was so impressed with the thoroughness of the service,” Doug from Bendigo said.

Ella has been delighted with the positive feedback she has been receiving and the number of customers signing up for regular six or 12 month cleans Phone 5442 5729 for a solar panel clean at just $65* for February only.

UMPING CASTLES were once the domain of children but not any more, thanks to Bendigo Castle King who have expanded their inflatable realm to cater for all ages.

Whether for birthday parties, company functions or promotional events Bendigo Castle King has a range of jumping castles to suit every occasion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently bought two new castles that are sure to be popular this summer,â&#x20AC;?

Bendigo Castle Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Susan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These new castles are ideal for teenagers or for those who want to join in the fun with or without their children.â&#x20AC;?

The new Wild Rapid Castle with its seven metre mega slide will let the whole family join in the fun.

These new adult-sized additions supplement Bendigo Castle Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing range of popular childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s castles in a

variety of themes.

All Bendigo Castle King jumping castles are industrial strength with all electric motors and leads protected by safety switches.

Safety is always a big consideration with Bendigo Castle King instructing all clients in the correct operation procedure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When someone selects one of our castles, we transport it and set it up showing them how to operate it while explaining all the safety procedures,â&#x20AC;? Susan said.

Castles can be booked for four or eight hours for private or public use â&#x20AC;&#x201C; however constant supervision is required when erected for public use.

So to put some bounce into your next function phone 5449 6501 or email Susan on sekilcullen@dodo.com.au for more information.

Love is in the air

EXT Friday, February 14, Valentine’s Day, is the most romantic day of the year for many.

Valentine’s Day although not a designated public holiday is steadily gaining popularity as a day to celebrate with someone special.

Saint Valentine supposedly conducted Christian marriages in Rome in 270 AD, even though the Roman Emperor forbade the practice among his Roman Legions – believing marriage weakened his soldiers’ resolve.

The first recorded

association of Valentine’s Day with romantic love is in Chaucer’s Parlement of Foules 1382, resulting in the sending of Valentine’s Day cards gaining

one of the region’s many restaurants or cafes, gifts of flowers, chocolates or jewellery, or an intimate night away at one of the many B&Bs or hotels.

Share a special moment with your loved one popularity in Britain and America in the late 18th century.

Valentines Day is the ideal opportunity to share a special moment with your loved one, whether it be romantic meal for two at Gift Vouchers Available

Ice-blocks can be helpful to get your pets through the day if you are not home. Give extra water containers just in case they get knocked over. Going on walks or being put on the back of a Ute in such extreme heat can burn the pads on dogs paws so if you can’t stand bare foot then they probably can’t either.

Holding out for a decision

By JOEL PETERSON

THE Bendigo Amateur Soccer League will find out today whether its application for a team in the National Premier Leagues Victoria competition is successful, when Football Federation Victoria hands out the list of successful applicants.

BASL submitted its application for consideration after FFV decided to implement the competition for the 2014 season, after most other states began the program last year.

Bendigo is one of 38 applicants received by FFV, and is vying for one of four licences that BASL operations manager Brock Rogers believes will be handed out to regional areas.

“We have not had any indications from FFV as yet in terms of the success of our application, they have kept all their decision making in house to this point in time,” Rogers said.

“All we can go off is the knowledge that there were 38 applicants, and more importantly we have an understanding of how

many regional applicants there are and that there was a commitment to have at least four regional teams.

“We think there are probably five genuine regional bids, and we’d like to think with our current infrastructure and success of our junior development over the last few years that we’re hopefully a bit higher than a four-out-of-five chance.”

As a condition of entry into the NPL, all sides whose applications are successful will have to field a team across all age groups involved in the competition, from under-12 to open seniors.

Rogers said work has already started in putting together a plan on how to put the teams together, given the quick eight-week turnaround before the competition gets under way.

“We do have to get eight teams on the park in a pretty short turnaround, we’re looking at early April and a bit later for the juniors,” he said.

“We’re lucky enough that we’ve had a number of talented academy coaches from Bendigo

“We’ve already got a number of different groups working on the club as we speak in all areas, and although we have no licence and cannot employ anyone, there

is a lot of work going on already.”

Rogers said establishing a club in such a short timeframe is an immense challenge, but BASL and the club’s volunteers are meeting it head on.

“BASL is actually the licence holder for the club if it gets up, so we have the full support of our

School year blasts off BENDIGO Senior Secondary College students started 2014 with their annual Blast Off festivities this week.

The first event was on Tuesday with the Aquatic Challenge at the Bendigo Aquatic Centre.

Students were treated to a free barbecue lunch followed by games such as “gladiator” and “sumo”, testing physical and strategic skills. Water fun was had with “Big Nessie” and the giant slide, while for the serious swimmers there were the golden goggles events.

member clubs which is great,” Rogers said.

“It would provide a lot of players in Bendigo with the opportunity to further their skills, potentially bring players who have had to move away back to Bendigo, and have a flow-on effect to the local competition, too.

“There is no doubt it would be a challenge but we are ready to meet it head on, and hope we get an opportunity to field a side, which would be great for the game in Bendigo.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge advantage playing a final at home, not only the crowd but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to travel to get to the games and it is just a more comfortable environment,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It showed last year with the great crowds that we had during the finals, and we certainly hope we can get that kind of support over the last few

games and into finals this season and make the best of that advantage.â&#x20AC;?

The Rangers and Boomers play contrasting styles, Dandenong being a free-wheeling, high scoring side while Melbourne play a physical, â&#x20AC;&#x153;grind-itoutâ&#x20AC;? style of basketball similar to that of Bendigo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do play very different styles, but you game-plan differently for different teams and we have worked really hard on our defence this week,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, it is just all about getting some momentum, some confidence, and being able to play our best basketball heading into and during the finals series.â&#x20AC;?

Snooker open back for two years

By JOEL PETERSON

AUSTRALIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S only World Snooker tournament, the Australian Goldfields Snooker Open, will return to Bendigo in 2014 and 2015.

The prestigious tournament will return in June for another two years, bringing the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best snooker players, including Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world number one Neil Robertson, to the Bendigo Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The State Government is delighted that the event will remain in Bendigo,

the only Australian event on the World Snooker Tour,â&#x20AC;? Tourism and Major Events Minister Louise Asher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Major events, like the Australian Snooker Goldfields Open, create a substantial impact on tourism to regional Victoria.â&#x20AC;?

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn also paid tribute to the event, and said the governing body for the sport was looking forward to the continued association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled to keep this tournament in Bendi-

go until 2015,â&#x20AC;? Hearn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The high standard and professionalism of the Victorian Government and IMG has been exceptional over the past three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The players, officials and fans have enjoyed visiting the Goldfields region and look forward to returning in 2014.â&#x20AC;?

World number one Neil Robertson became the first player outside the UK to claim the illustrious Triple Crown victory, taking out Mark Selby at the UK Championship in December 2013 to go with

his World and Masters Titles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have loved playing in front of a home crowd and I am stoked to have the opportunity again for the next two years,â&#x20AC;? he said. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a good run to the final this year, and although I was disappointed to lose to Marco Fu, it left me even more determined to win the title in the future.â&#x20AC;?

The Goldfields Open returns to Bendigo from June 30 to July 6, with tickets available at www.bendigostadium.com.au.

With three games left in the regular season, Bendigo has top spot and a home semi-final locked up on Sunday, February 23, an advantage that Harrower said his side will look to make good use of.

Tuesday, race director John Trevorrow paid tribute to the work done to get the race back to UCI 2.1 status. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has a nice ring to it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2.1 UCI - but it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been an easy road to get that ranking back,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been achieved by the tireless efforts of Tracey Gaudry, our very own new vice president and the support of the new-look UCI. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have one of the best fields ever and it promises to be an action packed five days of racing.â&#x20AC;?

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage starts at 10.30am, with the race finish expected in Bendigo at 2.45pm.

A WEEK after locking away the top spot on the WNBL table, Bendigo Spirit faces what could be its toughest weekend this season in the lead up to finals.

The Spirit tackles second-placed Dandenong on the road on Saturday night, before returning home for a Sunday game against Melbourne, who sits in third place on the table.

Spirit coach Bernie Harrower says his team is not backing down for the challenge, instead using it as an opportunity to build into the finals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a firm believer in playing the best teams in the lead-in to finals, to help you get ready for that type of basketball,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dandenong and Mel-

Centre top of the game RECENT works by Greater Bendigo council have helped make the Bendigo Badminton Table Tennis Centre in Eaglehawk one of the best table tennis centres in Victoria.

Mayor Barry Lyons said over the past two years the council had spent more than $70,000 on infrastructure at the facility which has added to earlier work undertaken by the Bendigo Table Tennis Association to install a new sports floor at the centre.

“The council has recently installed a new storage shed and upgraded the building’s insulation, ventilation and main switchboard,” he said.

“This work has been important for the centre and has been part of council’s commitment to ensure our community has the facilities and infrastructure needed to accommodate our growing population and also to help the city attract major sporting and other events to the region.”

Cr Lyons said the Bendigo Badminton Table Tennis Centre has become a much-sought after venue for major tournaments such as the International Table Tennis Oceania Cup which will take place from April 16 to 21 and is expected to attract competitors from 14 countries.

“The centre is also gearing up to host the Bendigo State Under 21 and Junior Tournament on Sunday, February 23 and the State Veterans Tournament on Sunday, May 4 this year.

“The centre has become an ideal training venue and I’m delighted to see two of Victoria’s Elite players Melissa Tapper and Ivan Sulfaro currently training here under the guidance of Victorian Senior Champion Simon Gerada for the Commonwealth Games Trials which will take place on the Gold Coast on February 20.

“This year the centre will also host the Australian Junior Women’s

The club is raising funds to support the McGrath Foundation, and raise awareness for breast cancer as well as to help the foundation place breast care nurses in communities.

BUCC president David Bicknell said there would be multiple events on the day to support the foundation.

“The under 13As are playing at Ewing Park where there will be a barbecue and a raffle being run by all the under-13 parents,” he said.

“Following the day’s play there is a family function at the Bendigo Club from 7pm with a pink theme, where we will raise more money for the

“It’s exciting for the sport and it’s great to see so many events and high profile sports people taking advantage of the facilities on offer,” said Cr Lyons.

Cr Lyons congratulated the Bendigo Table Tennis Association

“I’m feeling great now and couldn’t be more excited to return with the Lady Braves.

“To be able to suit up with my junior club once again is a great opportunity, and I’m looking forward to having a chance to contribute to the team’s success.”

Lady Braves coach Jonathan Goodman paid tribute to Harrington’s work ethic, and expects her to slot into the roster nicely as the team prepares to repeat as conference champions.

“Kerryn has a tremendous work ethic,” he said.

McKenzie moved to Bendigo

to study at La Trobe University, and coach Ben Harvey said he believes the former Australian Under 19 school boys representative can contribute to the Braves’ campaign.

“We are really excited to have Drew on board. With Matthew Bartlett moving back to Shepparton we needed someone to fill the back-up point guard role,” Harvey, a former Braves point guard himself, said.

“Drew is doing everything we ask of him and is a great person to have around the club.”

EMU Valley Cricket Association teams will play a round of one-day games this weekend, to make up for no play on the weather-affected day one of play in round 10.

Due to last Saturday’s heat, all games were called off and will be replaced with one day matches on Saturday.

Ladder leader West Bendigo hosts Maiden Gully at Ken Wust Oval, Mandurang is up against Golden Gully, Emu Creek is at home to Marong, Axe Creek tackles Sedgwick at Champions IGA Oval and Spring Gully faces a tough task against secondplaced United.

The EVCA’s Cathcart Smash Repairs-backed Bash for Cash competition resumed on Tuesday night, with some big scores headlining the evening’s play.

At One Tree Hill Oval, Spring Gully’s Andrew Sharpe and Des Gilmore both carried their bats for the Crows, who claimed an easy win over Golden Gully.

Sharpe made 64 not out while Gilmore added 38, with the Crows’ total of 0/118 proving too much for the Cobras, who could only muster 3/96 in reply.

Travis Thompson was effectual with the ball for the home side, claiming 2/2 off his single over.

At Cal Gully Oval, a half century from Scott Ross powered Marong to a comfortable win over Strathfieldsaye.

The Panthers’ Adam Brown took two wickets as the Jets compiled only 7/85 from their 10

overs, and when Ross came in following the dismissal of opener Andrew Gladstone for a duck, Marong cruised to victory, finishing up with 5/130.

The knock of the night went to Mandurang’s Matt Giri, who belted his second century of the series to propel the Rangas to an astounding 1/177 off its 10 overs.

Giri blasted 100 not out, off just 34 balls, crushing nine balls over the boundary rope while adding six fours.

He had good support from fellow opener Will Anderson who made 71 before being run out, with Axe Creek only managing 6/110 in reply.

Emu Creek had a night to forget against Maiden Gully, with the Emus dismissed for only 72 off 7.2 overs in reply to Gully’s 3/158.

Paul Martin (70) was the star of the show for Maiden Gully while Rob Binks offered solid support with 46, and also claimed two wickets with the ball.

In the evening’s final game, Shaun Stone and Michael Peters both took two wickets as West Bendigo skittled Kangaroo Flat for only 45 at Cal Gully.

The Redbacks had no trouble chasing that score down, as Stone (27) top scored and led the Redbacks to victory.

The final round of matches before the finals will be held at Ewing Park, One Tree Hill Oval and Cal Gully Oval from 5.30pm next Tuesday.

Tour hits Bendigo

By JOEL PETERSON

SOME of Australia’s best cyclists will roll into Bendigo today, when stage two of the 2014 Jayco Herald Sun Tour comes to town.

The 165 kilometre second stage, the longest of the tour’s four, will wind its way from Ballarat, through Daylesford, Fryerstown and over the top of Mount Alexander before a CBD finish.

It’s no secret that the Sun Tour is ... important The tour got under way on Wednesday night with a 1km prologue around the streets of Melbourne, before a 144km test from Geelong to Ballarat on Thursday.

After the Bendigo stage, the race heads to the Michelton Winery for stage three that winds its way through the Goulburn Valley to Nagambie, before the stage four finish on Arthur’s Seat decides the winner.

Four Bendigo riders will

be aiming for glory during the tour’s five days, with Drapac’s Darren Lapthrone and Lachlan Norris, Avanti’s Jack Haig and Team KordaMentha’s Glenn O’Shea all lining up at the start on Wednesday.

O’Shea is coming off a stunning performance at last week’s National Track Championships, including winning the points race after lapping the field six times.

They will all have to compete with the might of the Garmin-Sharp squad led by 2011 winner Nathan Haas, and Australian cycling’s inform man, Simon Gerrans of Orica GreenEDGE. Gerrans is aiming for Australian cycling’s triple crown – a national road race title, victory in the Santos Tour Down Under and a win in the Sun Tour.

“Growing up in country Victoria, the Jayco Herald Sun Tour is probably the first race I ever saw. I remember skipping classes at school to go and stand on the roadside to watch the race go by,” the two-time tour winner said this week.

“It’s no secret that the Sun Tour is an important race for Orica GreenEDGE and we will be racing to win.” Continued Page 45
