SECRET CODE By ANTHONY RADFORD

GREATER Bendigo council will not make the results of a Code of Conduct Panel hearing into former mayor Lisa Ruffell public until days after next week’s council meeting. Instead of releasing the investigation’s findings with the agenda on Monday morning, council will wait until the minutes of Wednesday’s public meeting are written before revealing the report.

Council holds report until meeting The minutes are not usually available until the following week. Instead, council will simply refer to the report in Monday’s agenda, with a recommendation to make the findings part of the minutes. Council will decide at the meeting whether any councillors will be allowed to speak to the motion and

the findings. Under the Local Government Act, the panel’s finding must be tabled at council. The Bendigo Weekly will make a copy of the report available online at www.bendigoweekly.com.au tomorrow, simply by clicking on this story. The Weekly last week unveilled

the panel’s report, which made a finding of misconduct against Cr Lisa Ruffell. The panel found Cr Ruffell breached Greater Bendigo’s Code of Conduct seven times in denying councillors Elise Chapman and Helen Leach natural justice in the treatment of a complaint.

The complaint centred around a March 18 incident where disability organisation Amicus alleged councillors Chapman and Leach acted inappropriately towards one of their clients, a claim that has not been proven. The panel found Cr Ruffell’s handling of the complaint did not give the other two councillors an opportunity to respond.

MASTERPLAN: Viewpoint aims to have a community feel. TAKING a new perspective on residential developments, Viewpoint Huntly has centred itself around a community lifestyle. More than 180 blocks have been sold and 60 homes are under construction making Huntlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest development, prime realestate. PRD Nationwide director Tom Isaacs said the village was the very first masterplan, designed for the Bendigo community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traditionally, developments

have been fragmented and smaller blocks,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest attraction is the connectivity, creating a community hub and for families to utilise the spaces inside the estate rather than having to go outside it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to have the infrastructure and the environment, so people want to live there.â&#x20AC;? The development is set to become a community in itself fea-

turing parks, playgrounds, parklands and barbecue areas. Kids and families will be able to gather at the central park set to be finished later this year. Local families, new home buyers and retirees have all secured blocks in the development, guaranteed to be at least five homes away from the same housing design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People building homes in the estate are really using really high quality builders,â&#x20AC;? Mr

Isaacs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been a lot of support from local and major builders.â&#x20AC;? Lots range from $99,000 to $133,000, making it an affordable choice for homebuyers. Mr Isaacs said Huntly has become a more desirable place to live. Viewpointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand opening runs from 11am to 4pm tomorrow with 16 homes on show.

Motels off the map

Friday, February 28, 2014 – Bendigo Weekly

Businesses fire up over tour guide omission

By ANTHONY RADFORD

A GROUP of local motel owners will refer Greater Bendigo council to Victoria’s corruption watchdog over concerns it has favoured its tourism wing over other local businesses. They claim council has used its commercial strength to “blackmail” businesses to become members of Bendigo Tourism, a body that includes council and puts funds back into the sector and into council tourism facilities. The dispute centres around the publication of the latest Bendigo tourism map. The map is run and owned by a private company – Wilkins Tourist Maps – and has been since the 1990s. The map is a street directory and features advertising from local tourism businesses. About 100,000 copies are

distributed to tourists in motels, businesses and the Bendigo Visitor Information Centre, which council runs. This year, WTM has been told it cannot seek any advertising from businesses who are not members of Bendigo Tourism, if it wants the maps inside the visitor centre. That has meant four local businesses have had their advertising contracts cancelled – Bendigo Homestead Motor Inn and Apartments, The Fun Factory, Golden Hills Motel and the Lakeview Hotel. In a letter to the four advertisers, Peter Wilkins of WTM said he believed the “insidious” situation was unfair. “I have been put into an difficult situation, virtually black-

mailed, by the City of Greater Bendigo through their tourism office, which is dictating the circumstances under which it will support and distribute the map, and have to look at the bigger picture,” Mr Wilkins’ letter said. “We have subsequently been informed that any advertiser not in the association cannot be included on the map if the visitor centre is to distribute it locally. “It appears this insidious move is designed to force non-members to join the association although our enquiries seem to indicate those who have never joined, or have withdrawn membership due to cost or perceived poor service, have little or no intention of joining or rejoining.” In the letter, Mr Wilkins said

Help clean up our act RESIDENTS will lend a hand, or two, to clean up Bendigo in support of Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday. Greater Bendigo mayor Barry Lyons said residents can join in at one of 13 sites across the city. Cr Lyons said it was a great opportunity to come together and help clean up our local parks and waterways. “It’s a great way to meet neighbours and other members of your community and do something really great for our natural environClean Up sites are located at: Kennington Reservoir and Strathdale Park, 9am-noon (meet Cousins Street near old Council depot) Epsom-Barnadown Road, 8.30am-noon (meet EpsomBarnadown Road opposite Harpers Road.

he thought council’s actions were in breach of the Trade Practices Act. “I am forwarding this letter to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for perusal,” he said. “It certainly seems immoral and, at least, is a restraint of fair trade. “If the association can’t attract new members through their actions and service, it seems unfair to use us as a lever to entice reluctant operators to support them.” Mr Wilkins said he was considering his options. “For our part, we see the circulation of the maps through the visitor centre as an ideal and important part of our service,” he said.

“We are however considering our options which will allow us to find alternative methods of distribution in the future. “I am aware that the council could just drop us and go to somebody else to produce the map. “In fairness, without using the restrictive methods described above, we would be happy to compete on service, quality and consistency. “I hope you will understand the situation I find myself in. I don’t like it, I think it is arbitrary and unfair, and I don’t consider anyone benefits from this unfair restriction.” Council City Futures director Stan Liacos said council was simply putting Bendigo Tourism members first. He said he believed the organisation had done nothing wrong.

Police seek fire witness THE Arson Squad is investigating after a house fire in Quarry Hill on Tuesday morning. A car in the driveway of the Gladstone Street home and the house itself have been extensively damaged. Carla Langley has lived in the house since June last year, with her two boys, aged seven and eight. “I heard a big bang about 1am and thought it was the station next door,” she said. “Then I thought the boys must have been up with torches. “But I saw the carport alight. “A police car was going past at the same time. I didn’t know what was going on.” Ms Langley said neighbours tried to help and fire fighters did a great job. “Students next door heard it and tried to help put out the fire,” she said. “A firey even fell through the roof. “I don’t know what it was, but obviously it’s a bit suspicious.” Ms Langley said the house was extensively damaged. Bendigo Police sergeant Tony Kekich said police were investigating all possibilities. “We are treating it as suspicious but we are looking at all angles,” he said. “Crime scene are investigating at this stage. We want to hear from anyone around the area at the time.” Anyone with information should contact Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

RED BALLOON DAY: Staff and residents of Victoria Heights. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN RESIDENTS at Victoria Heights Residential Care in Ironbark are flying red balloons today to honour and thank firefighters in Bendigo. The event is running Australiawide, and the residents, alongside many others, have backed it with 100 Thank you Fireys balloons. All profits from the sale of the balloons in Victoria will go back to the Victorian Fire Services. Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lieutenant Adam Barnett is impressed with the support shown for the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thank the organisers for their hard work, the schools and businesses that have shown such enthusiasm, the families who have put red balloons on their front gates and everyone who has run a sausage sizzle or other fundraiser,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like you, CFA volunteers come from the community and we do what we do for the people around us, so this recognition from our own communities is both humbling and a great encouragement.â&#x20AC;? Red Balloon Day is also a demonstration of the fact that every Victorian can do their bit for fire safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer is not yet over, and every red balloon is a reminder that by making a plan of action for your family and preparing your property, you can contribute to your own safety,â&#x20AC;? Lt Barnett said. THE Bendigo Club is supporting Red Balloon day today by offering all CFA volunteers a free meal. General manager Adrian McMa-

hon said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small token of gratitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staff are also busy decorating the venue to get in the spirit of the day and say thank you to our amazing volunteers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of our staff and patrons have been affected in some way by the events of the past few years with friends and family losing property and even loved ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure everyone can agree the incredible and selfless job these volunteers do to ensure our continued safety while risking their own lives.â&#x20AC;? The club will provide any volunteer with a free main meal for lunch or dinner on Friday, February 28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the volunteers need to do is show their ID card to any of our bistro staff and the meal is on us,â&#x20AC;? Mr McMahon said.

Cuts prune gardens growth plan By CHRISTINE McGINN

BENDIGO’s Botanic Gardens master-plan project has lost its $1 million bloom after government funding cuts. Friends of the Botanic Gardens president Jane Cleary said the funding was needed to expand the gardens for the community. “We would really love the funding. The gardens are so important for the people of Bendigo. It would help to renew the gardens,” she said. “The friends are committed to the future development of the gardens.” Labor announced the $1 million funding in August, guaranteeing the funding under Regional Development Australia Fund’s round five grants. But, the state and federal

BENDIGO will add another notch to what has been an already record-breaking summer, with the city’s hottest summer on record coming to an end today. Bendigo has sweltered through 13 days of 40ºC or higher already this summer, and the average maximum temperature from the start of December of 31.3 degrees is set to smash the long term record of 30.6ºC, set in 2000-01. The figure sets a record for not only the current Bendigo Airport site, but also the former Bendigo Prison site, which began recording temperature data in 1957. The average maximum temperature for February at time of going to print was 32.6ºC, shading the February average maximum temperature record of 33.6ºC set in February 1997. The bureau’s climatology data shows that the likelihood of receiving warmer or cooler than average weather from February to April is roughly equal, with temperatures over the next week expected to remain around 27ºC. – Joel Peterson

governments cut the round five grants in November. Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan said the governments had only provided silence on the cuts since its decision. “We are calling for the Napthine Government to act for regional Victoria. If Denis Napthine stays silent, regional Victoria will lose $130 million in vital infrastructure projects, plus the jobs these projects would have created,” she said. “They need to put the money on the table and deliver the project. “This is a future infrastructure project. The project would deliver a legacy for future generations. It’s a great shame.” The gardens are one of 80 projects lost under the governments’ round five funding cuts.

The O-Week awakening

By CHRISTINE McGINN

FORGET the books, celebrations are the first point of order on university students’ lists. La Trobe University Bendigo students have flocked back this week to take part in the perennial homecoming that is O-Week. Students were bagging bargains at the market stalls following the official civil declaration of the festivities on Tuesday. Starting with a bang, the Bendigo Student Association hosted the university’s first glow-paint party on the oval. More than 1000 students attended the neon paint celebrations, “arriving in white and leaving in colour”. Melbourne DJ Will Sparks provided the tunes while Jack and Jill and Some Blond DJ added their beats to the set. Students, covered in paint, were bussed to Universal night club to continue the late night celebrations. A hypnotist provided some relief on Wednesday before students took the Mystery Bus Tour, or relaxed with a movie on Thursday night. Students were drawn to the free food, market life and entertainment throughout the threeday festival, relaxing today before classes start on Monday. Almost 1400 new undergraduate students will attend classes at the Bendigo campus this year. The university has attracted international praise with 53 new international undergraduate students from 26 countries. The international students will be officially welcomed this morning and participate in a series of workshops and activities. Bendigo campus head Rob Stephenson said the festivities were only the beginning of the students’ time at the university. “At O-Week students meet people who will be their friends and colleagues in the university community, and will form the core of their future professional networks,” he said. “It is an opportunity for them have some fun, familiarise themselves with the campus and the city, and prepare for the academic journey that lies ahead, with library tours, campus and faculty information sessions, support services and academic writing workshops.”

Students move to a new home THREE hundred and sixty fresh-faces have moved into La Trobe University’s student residences. The majority of first years are from Victoria, but others also include 32 New South Wales students and seven international students. Student leaders and staff welcomed the new-comers on Friday and urged them to get involved in university life. Students will move into five types of accommodation including residential

units, Hillside apartments, terraces, villas and Orde House. La Trobe University Residential Services team leader Meg Driscoll said it was an exciting time for the university and the city. “These students will integrate with the university and with the general Bendigo community. They will shop and play here. It will be good for Bendigo itself,” she said. First-year students also celebrated their move with “Res Fest” over the weekend. Night games, meet and greets, mentoring, trivia and trip to The Zone, cinemas or Universal night club on Monday night ended the festivities. Another 600 students are expected to return to their on-campus homes this week in preparation for the O-Week celebrations. The university ritual, O-Week, welcomes students to the new tertiary year with events and activities the week before classes start.

Motels feel left out

3From Page 3 “It is our decision to make a decision about what we provide out of the Visitor Information Centre,” he said. “We will simply look at producing our own maps and distributing them out of the VIC. “The City of Greater Bendigo runs the Visitor Information Centre and it is our decision whether or not we distribute the product.” It is unclear why council changed its mind, after more than a decade of distributing the maps, to exclude non-Bendigo Tourism members from advertising. Bendigo Homestead Motor Inn and Apartments owner David

Stewart, who was Bendigo Motels Association president for 14 years, said he believed such actions were illegal. “We believe council is using its commercial power to blackmail somebody into breaches of existing contracts, which is breaching the law,” he said. “As such, I am in the process of lodging a complaint with IBAC (the Independent Broad-Based Anti Corruption Commission) and the Department of Local Government. “Also, I believe they are involved in third-line forcing, by using its commercial powers to direct someone else to not doing a deal with others.”

Mr Stewart said he had contacted council, and had received no response for two weeks. “I think this is totally obnoxious and this behaviour fits in with the attitude,” he said. “Originally I preferred to try to resolve this amicably. To me, this has overstepped the mark.” Mr Stewart said he believed the plan was an attempt to get more businesses to become Bendigo Tourism members. Golden Hills Motel lessee Mark Henderson, has two words to sum up the situation. “It sucks,” he said. “They shouldn’t be able to dictate who goes on that map.” Fun Factory owner Mark Per-

ry said the actions were morally wrong. “Since the business was created, for 15 years, we have been on the map,” he said. “This sort of attitude isn’t needed from council. It is morally wrong council is doing this.” Mr Perry said it reflected a poor council attitude towards businesses and could be considered a revenue raiser. Bendigo Motels Association president Charlie Loftus said the decision was wrong. “We feel people should be allowed to advertise on the map as they historically have,” he said. “It wasn’t broken, so why try to fix it?”

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, February 28, 2014

Council holds report 3From Page 1 The panel also criticised the handling of the complaint by senior council staff, and recommended a series of changes to the council’s Code of Conduct. All parties have 28 days to respond to the findings. Cr Leach said there were some councillors who wanted the entire report to stay confidential. “I am disappointed. Why don’t they just get on with it so we can get on with business?” she said. Cr Leach also revealed she had made a complaint against Amicus’ actions to the Victorian Disability Services Commissioner. She said she believed Amicus had done the wrong thing by allowing its clients to take part in a “Dance for Disability” the day after the original complaint became public. “After they did that dance I was quite cross,” she said. “I am hoping they will be hauled over the coals for allowing their clients to be used as political pawns, as they were.” The event was led by then-Greens candidate Lachlan Slade. An Amicus spokesperson was unavailable for comment.

Almost 18 months ago, Milly was found with her dead mother, burnt and stuck in a fence attempting to outrun the fires. Milly escaped but suffers burns to her feet and ongoing stress issues. Spring Gully Wildlife shelter operator Jo Lyall said she is one of many wildlife animals needing immediate care before they can be released back into the wild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Emotionally seeing animals like this does your head in, but you have to keep your head straight to help them,â&#x20AC;? the wildlife rescuer said.

BENDIGO is set to become home to one of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first multi-disciplinary centres for sexual assault victims. The $3 million State Government complex on Bridge Street will provide dedicated facilities and services to support victims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The office building has been purpose designed to suit the needs of the clients,â&#x20AC;? the development application at council stated. The multi-disciplinary centre will house the Victoria Policeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigations unit and the Centre Against Sexual Assault. The Department of Human Services child protection branch is also believed to be moving into the centre. Under proposed plans, the double-storey office will have interview spaces, clinical and examination rooms, storage areas and amenities â&#x20AC;&#x153;suitable for the proposed tenantâ&#x20AC;?. The government promised the delivery of the multi-disciplinary centre for Bendigo in the 2012-13 budget.

Advertisement By 1989, manufacture had diversified across three locations, Coburg, Bendigo and Leichhardt in NSW. Three years later the Bendigo plant took over the entire manufacturing process, and in 1995 the ADI Clothing Division was privatised to become Australian Defence Apparel. In June, 2011, ADA was taken over by a joint venture between fabric wholesaler Charles Parsons and a Canadian firm called Logistik Unicorp. Mr Giles-Kaye explained the expertise and innovative talents of Bendigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skilled workforce made ADA a natural choice when the Parsons Logistik joint venture was considering the take-over. ADA now employs 190 workers, 105 of them in Bendigo. Since the breakthrough with its ceramic armour the company has continued to diversify and explore new opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our traditional markets, for combat and ceremonial uniforms, have reduced, so to continue to prosper we had to invest heavily in technology in new areas like ceramics,â&#x20AC;? Mr Giles-Kaye said. His companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on innovation has attracted considerable interest from overseas. Already the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ministry of Defence and Metropolitan Police Force have become customers for the ceramic body armour, and further export opportunities are being pursued in Southeast Asia, particularly PNG, Thailand and Vietnam, with the Middle East the next territory to be targeted.

Urban study shows Bendigo properties at risk

Homes face floods By ANTHONY RADFORD

ABOUT 1400 new properties have been identified as at risk of flooding in Golden Square and Kangaroo Flat. Consultation for stage three of the Bendigo Urban Flood Study begins next week, with the North Central Catchment Management Authority mailing out the results to affected households. The mail out is the first step in identifying the detail surrounding the findings of the study. About 945 new properties will be added to the at-risk category, in the case of a one-in-100-year flood. Those properties are at risk from natural flooding of the Bendigo Creek

and its tributaries. A further 446 properties have been identified as being at-risk from flooding caused by Greater Bendigo council stormwater. The letters will be followed up with two community meetings, on

predominantly made up of newer houses closer to the ground, the impact of a large flood could be greater. North Central CMA chief executive officer Damian Wells said it was important residents understood the letters were

This study is almost simply confirmation of what they already know March 24 and 31, at the Gateway Park function centre from 1pm to 8pm. The property numbers are similar to stages one and two of the study â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Epsom/Huntly and the CBD. However, there is concern with Golden Square and Kangaroo Flat being

the first step. He said talking with his staff would give residents a greater understanding about how large a flood in their area could be, and what the impact would be on their house. The study is one of the most comprehensive done in Australia, and

gives remarkably accurate results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To some people, this study is almost simply confirmation of what they already know,â&#x20AC;? Mr Wells said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad thing either. It can be a good tool for everybody.â&#x20AC;? Mr Wells said the study will give landowners precise details to negotiate with their insurance company about premiums. He said the data would allow a clear picture of how deep water would be across their property, where it would flow and the impact it would have on their house.

EYE ON MEMBERS: Spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelsey Griffin.

Spirit aims for 1000 members BENDIGOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S only national sporting team has begun an aggressive membership drive. With a little over a week until its second consecutive WNBL grand final appearance, the Bendigo Spirit is campaigning to more than double its membership. The Spirit has about 450 members and chairman Greg Bickley said he wants to extend that to

1000 by the start of next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our main focus is Sunday week, but we need to start capitalising on our success,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in every grand final every year, but we need Bendigo to get behind The Spirit to keep the club sustainable into the future.â&#x20AC;? Mr Bickley said the key to a strong future was a strong membership.

Growth strategy needs to aim for change

Using our land more efficiently By TREVOR BUDGE Greater Bendigo council

WORTHWHILE EVENT: Noel and Tracey Clarke with Maree Edwards. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

Foundation aims to support NOEL and Tracey Clarke of Bendigo have worked tirelessly since early 2013 to establish a group dedicated to enhancing the lives of spinal cord injured Victorians. Lucky I’m Alive Day is their major fundraising event and will be held from the March 31 to April 6. Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards has stepped up to support the group. “Foundation 97 provides the necessary equipment for regular and consistent participation in sport and recreation or training and courses for employment or better employment opportunities,”

she said. “The concept is very simple – to invite each and every Victorian to donate 97 cents during the week of March 31 to the April 6. “I have encouraged all Members of Parliament to support this very worthwhile event.” There are about 20,000 people living with a spinal cord injury in Australia. One in every 1168 people. Mr Clarke is one of those people. “In 2009, Noel was riding his motorbike in an organised motocross event,” Ms Edwards said. “On the second lap of

practice, travelling at only 10 to 15 kilometres an hour, Noel’s bike slipped on the wet grass while slowing into a turn.” Noel landed badly and suffered three breaks in his spine, leaving him with permanent spinal cord damage. “Noel and wife Tracey have not only established Foundation 97 but are also organising Bendigo’s Wheelchair Tennis Festival on April 5 and 6,” Ms Edwards said. “Foundation 97 is a much-needed and worthwhile cause and I am confident it will grow to be a national foundation.”

WORD is spreading about Greater Bendigo. Good schools, diverse job opportunities and a pleasant lifestyle have made our city an ideal choice for couples and young families wanting a tree change. Affordability, most notably in relation to the housing market, is also a huge attraction – especially to the numerous new residents Bendigo welcomes each year and to those born and raised locally. But with growth comes change and we need to future-proof Bendigo to ensure it is still somewhere we all want to live in the decades to come. In March, council will consider a report recommending it release the revised Bendigo Residential Development Strategy. It’s been 10 years since the strategy was last reviewed. In that time population growth has exceeded expectations, our urban growth boundary is reaching its set limits, we’re living longer and, on average,

our households are smaller. Now is the time to look at opportunities to better accommodate residents’ needs, especially as 800 to 900 new homes are being built in Bendigo each year. Greater Bendigo council officers expect CBD development will be fundamental to catering for population growth. Old properties that were placed in the too-hard basket are getting another look. The Gillies and Crystal Ice Factory in Garsed Street is a great example of giving an old building a new lease on life. Infill is also coming from the subdivision of large inner-city suburban blocks. This is a good way of meeting the increasing demand for one and two bedroom homes. The new Bendigo hospital and La Trobe University will continue to drive the need for more housing, and planning for suburbs like Epsom-Huntly, Strathfieldsaye and Maiden Gully will also need to be revisited as they’ve changed significantly.

The idea of “10 minute neighbourhoods” will form an integral part of the new strategy, with plans to place residents’ daily needs, such as employment, schooling and basic necessities, within easy distance of walking and cycling paths and public transport. The emphasis of the strategy will be on compact communities and improving public transport connections. Public transport is not the responsibility of the council, but discussions with Public Transport Victoria suggest it is assessing placing more frequent services on high-priority routes and research is under way to determine where our most-used routes are. These investigations will also help people consider where they might like to live in the future. Council research suggests the next 20 years’ growth can fit into the existing urban area with the exception of minor extensions as necessary. The trick will be how to use our land more efficiently than ever before.

Oz 14 years ago that he found his true passion. This show is not just Peter Allen’s hits, Todd also includes songs from some of his earlier musical theatre performances and you’ll hear stories and anecdotes of Peter, as well as get all the goss from Dancing with the Stars. Got a question? Call it out during the show and Todd will likely answer you back! But here’s a fun warning to be careful as he can give as well as he gets!

Council comments re misconduct Bendigo council chief executive, senior staff and some of their loyal supporters may well attempt to ‘blame shift’ leaked recent findings that ex-mayor Cr Lisa Ruffell breached council’s Code of Conduct seven times. Apparent facts surrounding such findings were reported in two Bendigo newspapers last week. The most detailed being in the Bendigo Weekly. That we will read more of this is certain. it is worthy of note, that some months after the new council was formed, with several new councillor’s, claims were made some councillors had breached the council’s Code of Conduct. How quickly some people outside council supported that. it has now been revealed, the Councillor Conduct Panel has recommended a series of changes to the council’s own Code of Conduct. For years there have been assurances all is well within Bendigo council. if such changes are required, i ask what other changes may be needed to further improve our council? Though commending the Weekly for its reporting on findings of misconduct, i question part of the editorial ‘Reaching the limit’ in the same edition. i disagree with the statement, “For a few months after the late-2012 election, things were going smoothly.” Attempting to highlight a ‘split’ between three councillors, and the other six, is not i believe fair comment. For the three councillors mentioned are not out to ‘divide’ council. Rather they are out to, and achieving, what they were elected for; representing constituents in their own and all other wards, working with other councillors

– more often than not, and, with council staff. Peter Cox has a reputation second to none in the Whipstick Ward. elise Chapman exposed the true situation with the golden Square pool, that led to it being saved, and Helen Leach has been the only eppalock Ward councillor prepared to listen to affected residents of the o’Keefe Rail Trail extension to Heathcote. in addition to other work they do within and outside their wards, they are worthy of praise, not criticism. Colin Carrington, Argyle (Heathcote)

The cost of climate change denial WHiLe the choking coal fires in Morwell continue to burn, endangering the health of all residents, adults and children alike, the national Health and Medical Research Council has released its findings of an extensive review of the research into so-called “windfarm syndrome”. it has found that there is no reliable or credible evidence that wind-farms cause human health problems. it is the 20th major high quality and systematic review, to date, to do so. Meanwhile, here in Victoria, where houses must be at least two kilometres from wind-turbines, families living in houses barely 600 metres from an open-cut coal mine are exposed to cancer-causing, respiratory and heart disease inducing coal dust and toxic coal burning on a daily basis. Currently, coal-fires which may yet continue to burn for months or years, have raged for weeks now. As Victorian federal greens senator and former gP Richard di natale said last week: “There is no safe level of exposure to smoke from coal combustion. if i lived in Morwell with a young family, i wouldn’t be there”.

old, out-dated and dangerous, the Hazelwood coalfired power-station should have been decommissioned over 20 years ago. instead of taking responsible and urgent action to move from dirty power sources to clean renewables such as wind and solar, the current state and federal and Coalition governments continue to pander to the fossil-fuel industry by doing everything within their considerable power to weaken, shut down and discourage investment in clean, modern technology to our health and socio-economic detriment. Michelle Goldsmith, Eaglehawk

Youth of today TodAy i had my purse stolen by a 14 year old lad, i was so devastated, to see what is happening to our youth, and realise that they really aren’t being helped. They get taken away, as this lad did in handcuffs,

slapped on the wrist and set free to do it again. This boy has unfortunately got a history and keeps repeating the crime. Today when this happened to me, i was fortunate to find another young man who was the absolute opposite to the thief, he went on his bike and hunted the culprit down and got my money back, but not my purse which had been discarded. He brought it back to me, (i couldn’t go anywhere as i was waiting for police). Then he decided to look for my purse, so off he went again, coming back sometime later, with the offender, purse in hand. This young man (thief) apologised profusely and was willing to await the arrival of the police. i pleaded with him, saying i could be his nanna, and would he do same to her? He just kept saying sorry, but knew his fate. i just feel so sorry that he does not know how to stop

doing this sort of thing, and is obviously seeking attention. What he did was so premeditated, absolutely incredible. How can he be helped? This happened at the Kangaroo Flat Bowls Club. i am a 72 years old and this event has had a real effect on me. Judith Fasoli, Bendigo

Insult added to injury My husband was interred in the eaglehawk lawn cemetery last summer. There was no lawn at the lawn cemetery, just dirt and gravel. By the time i paid for the plot and the plaque the cost was close to $5000. i was assured the desolate patch of dirt would be sowed and regularly watered and that regular maintenance was part of the cost. despite many requests this never occurred. Finally

my son and i bought soil and seed and planted a lawn ourselves, as for regular watering i’ve yet to see any evidence, the lawn is slowly dying. The burial sites around our plot are still dirt and gravel. This is all very well but to add insult to injury i was recently sent a letter by Remembrance Parks Central Victoria, asking if i would like to join in the first annual “Clean up our Cemeteries day”. The event has been designed as an add on to Clean Up Australian day and as “the holder of the right for an interment performed in the past 12 months” i was asked to come along with other volunteers to clean up the place. The audacity of an organisation which can’t keep to an agreement to treat my husband’s grave with respect and then asks me to do their job for nothing, takes my breath away. Dianne Dempsey, Bendigo

Growth from stability for the city’s future. High-quality thinkers always deliver high-quality ideas, allowing the city to move forward and tackle challenges successfully. The students also bring a culture to the city that is much needed. Diversity is the key to any 21st-century city thriving, and whether they be from Beechworth or Beijing, a new perspective and injection of difference is always welcome. Then there is the added bonus of students wanting to live here when they finish, adding even more to the economic and cultural fabric of Bendigo. Those involved with La Trobe and its Bendigo campus in the past decade must be congratulated for steering a sometimes-heady course well. The next couple of years can see that stability turned into strong growth.

in visitor numbers that would be the envy of every other gallery in Australia. Rightfully, the community’s expectations of its gallery have also lifted, and with the March 14 launch of the Fender Katsalidis designed expansion overlooking Rosalind Park, a lot is riding on the next few months.

with Peter Kennedy

THE next few months are shaping up to be some of the most important in the Bendigo Art Gallery’s long and proud history. Having just undergone a major expansion, the gallery will also premiere its latest blockbuster exhibition – Genius and Ambition: The Royal Academy of Arts, London 1768-1918 from this weekend. Some of the greatest examples of British art are among the about 100 works of art from the Royal Academy of Arts which will be shown in Australia for the first time. Genius and Ambition is arguably the most significant collection of paintings to be exhibited at the Bendigo Art Gallery for the past couple of decades, and perhaps even longer. It’s that big a coup. The strong links forged in recent times by gallery director Karen Quinlan and her team with the Victoria and Albert Museum and now the Royal Academy have rewarded the gallery with a massive lift

lite town for its Bundoora headquarters. While there have been some ratonalisation of resources, the student numbers have remained solid. In 2009, there were 4324 students at the Bendigo campus. Today there are close to 5000. In 2009, those 4324 students spent $76.3 million in the local economy, excluding tuition fees. A REMPLAN study, led by economist Matthew Nichol, revealed the flow-on impacts of the university and student expenditure supported 2099 local jobs. Economically, the campus and its students contributed $201.4m to Bendigo’s Gross Regional Product. But a university’s contribution to a city is more than just economic. Attracting academic staff and their families to Bendigo is good

ASCOT

ANYONE who has been to university knows how much of a celebration O-Week is. It is an important time for the students and the university. For students it is the start of a long personal and professional journey. As La Trobe Bendigo campus head Rod Stephenson said this week: “At O-Week students meet people who will be their friends and colleagues in the university community, and will form the core of their future professional networks.” If they are lucky, they will also form the core of some of their personal networks for the rest of their lives. The start of the university year is also a celebration for Bendigo. Ten years ago, the battle to keep a strong university presence in Bendigo was won. There were fears the full alignment with La Trobe would lead to the campus simply being a satel-

HE new Rector at St Luke’s White Hills and St Clements Anglican Huntly is no stranger to the pulpit. Gordon Lingard first preached in Australia in 1979 on the first of his three migrations from England with his Australian wife. He’s firmly in Australia now, and has been based at Rochester, Lockington and Melbourne to name a few. “I have only been here three weeks, but I can see this is a good parish,” he said. St Luke’s has just marked its 150 anniversary which puts it up there among Bendigo’s oldest. “It looks small, but we can fit 120 in here,” Rev Lingard said. Across his career Rev Lingard has been involved in church

planting, which put simply is the joining of like-minded people to form a church, and through this has worked across many denominations. But he said there is a common theme. “All kind of people go to church, it’s our job to make it highly relevant, to make it highly relational. To connect,” Rev Lingard said. “I will wear robes at times, but other times I will be in day-to-day dress and present a multimedia talk. “It’s about being interactive. Rev Lingard said churchgoing in Australia has plateaued, but around the world it is still growing. “If we do church well, it works.” – Steve Kendall

bookclub news with Dianne Dempsey

Salon survival T

HE stereotypical book club consists of a group of women of a very certain age who meet on a regular basis. They usually read The Broken Shore by Peter Temple, Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak over a glass of wine and some cheese. When my friend and I decided to start a book club we thought we’d loosen things up a bit by inviting the blokes along. At the same time to inject an air of class into the occasion we decided that we belonged to a book salon; as in Gertrude Stein, rather than a book club. The blokes were initially surprised to be asked but gradually that surprise turned to pleasure. Yes, it turned out they too liked to sit around and talk about books. Even the more reluctant ones found that they could cop a book once every two months or so. We decided to meet on a Friday evening and because husbands were included nobody felt excluded. We would rotate the houses we met in and if it was your house you did all the cooking. The rest could sit back and relax. As well we rotated the choice of book, the only condition being that if it was your turn to cook you didn’t have to choose the book or lead the discussion. We had some ironing out to do. Only two courses and keep it simple but gradually, insidiously, the cooks started to became a teensie weensie competitive except for one bloke, Damian, who can’t get past curries, no matter how gently his readers complain. The only rules are that we wait until after we’ve eaten before starting the discussion and then you have to wait your turn before speaking. But inevitably fights break out. People shout at each other, shout over each other. Group leaders lose control and are yelled out for losing control. More wine is drunk and people who haven’t smoked for 30 years go outside and light up.

MEN INVITED: The book salon has opened the door.

What was intended as a book salon soon descends into something resembling an inner chapter of the Hell’s Angels. It generally takes us weeks to recover. My party trick is to push a particular line about a book and then at the end of the night let it be known that I hadn’t even read it. This made Damian the curry man so angry he threw The Eye of the Storm at me. I’m looking forward to our next salon however, we’re reading The Road. – Dianne Dempsey

Writers on a roll

N an arrangement that is going to boost the Bendigo Writers Festival and all those people who love and support it, there has been a formalisation of the partnership between Greater Bendigo counciland La Trobe University. In essence, the university and the city, the two major supporters of the first two festivals, have now agreed to further develop the festival over the next three years. The partnership will enable expansion of the festival program, enhanced marketing and more innovative events. Council City Futures director Stan Liacos said he was delighted that the two organisations are committed to further developing this popular event. “The strengthened alliance between La Trobe University and the City of Greater Bendigo in presenting the third Bendigo Writers Festival will build on that solid foundation,” Mr Liacos said. “The two organisations have committed to a three-year agreement that will see the festival grow from strength to strength.” La Trobe University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor (regional) Richard Speed said that students, staff and alumni will all benefit from the Bendigo Writers Festival. “We can use events like the Bendigo Writers Festival to support our teaching and research, as well as enhance our students’ learning experience. We’re committed to working with the city to introduce initiatives that will enhance the program and learning opportunities that the 2014 Bendigo Writers Festival offers and take the event to the next level. “This is another step forward in our vision to see Bendigo recognised as a great university city.”

New kid of the flock

Dear Dotty, Both my eldest daughter and I are self confessed “Chocaholics”. Heaven for us is a packet of Tim Tams or a box of Cadbury Roses, usually devoured in a very short space of time. Our addiction is beginning to cause us health problems; my daughter has been told by her doctor not to eat “one more piece” and she has put on so much weight she can hardly get behind the wheel of her car. We have tried everything to reduce our chocolate intake but have failed miserably. Can you help us with some sage advice as to how we can “get off ” the wretched stuff before it’s too late ? We will even consider going into rehab... Yours in misery, Kath Lakey.

The new man at St Luke’s helped Steve see a divine way ahead

LSEWHERE in these pages you’ll find a short tale of Gordon Lingard. Gordon is the new Rector of St Luke’s, White Hills and St Clements, Huntly and drove into town in a Jeep last month. It’s his son’s Jeep, but it suits him. If ever there was a trendy vicar it’s Gordon. He’s in his early 60s, but would pass for at least 10 years younger, he’s very tidy and relaxed. Now I am not a churchgoer, so may not have spent much time with the clergy apart for work, but if ever I was going to join the flock it would be at St Luke’s. There was no feeling of pressure, no fearful threat of hell and damnation, just a gentle chat about the life of a Rector. Gordon has only been here three weeks, but I think he’ll make a mark as having the right approach to both regular churchgoers and those who need to be convinced. He’s from England, but

don’t let that put you off, so am I, and some of the churches he worked in during his early years were built in the 1100s. His craft is from a long tradition, and he has trod in the footsteps of many names from history, but he’s as humble as they come. His mantra, if that’s the right word, is all about connecting with people. If you get it right they will go to church he says. Apart from what I wrote earlier, I think it highly unlikely I will ever be a serious churchgoer. I like the building and

the history and the fact that churches around the world have been there for centuries, but I just can’t take being told what to think and how to behave. I get the impression though, that if Rev. Lingard were to enter the sales industry he’d do very well. Buy your used Jeep from the Rev. You know you’re taking the right path. I am sure while he is at work he has to do the Lord’s calling, but I just don’t think it will be force-fed. It’s just does not seem his way. I am in danger of over-

dear dotty...

stating it now, sounds like I am already under a spell. Come to think of it, I doubt if any church gang would let me in if even I wanted it, but while I am up on the pretend path to the pulpit, I may wander into a bit of preaching myself. Leaders of all kinds could learn from Gordon. Politicians could listen and learn, managers could share and inspire and the famous could use their name for good. But, maybe that’s just too much to expect. twitter@stevekendall1

Dear Kath, How about you and your daughter wander around the Crown Hotel in the middle of the night eating chocolate and wearing singlets and undies . It worked for Grant Hackett – he’s now off to America to recover from sleeping pill addiction. Might be a small problem of money but you could maybe cut a deal with New Idea or Women’s Day. Tell them you will give them an exclusive on your story of how you gave up Tim Tams and Cadbury Roses in exchange for a fortnight of rehab in Bears Lagoon.

Illustration: “Wildey”

Dear Dotty, I saw a man pushing a baby in a pram the other day and as well he was holding his infant’s hand as they walked through the park. I just had to go up to him and tell him how wonderful he was. “You lovely man,” I said. Impressed Emily Dear Emily, Don’t you ever do that again. This is the 21st century. This is a generation of men who realise that half the care of the children belong to them as well as their wives. I know it seems bewildering to those of us who had to work, come home, cook tea, do the dishes and balance the baby on our hip at the same time but there are quite a lot of reconstructed blokes out there. They don’t make a song and dance about it they just share the work. The more we take their behaviour for granted the more it will seem a normal way to behave, so no more huffing and puffing over the wonderful daddies, OK? twitter@DearDotty

Local food industry insider with Marika McMahon

Picnic in the shade OOD news for foodies. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have G to travel all the way to Melbourne to participate in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Melbourne Food &

Cheese please I

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S a lot of fun thinking about locally-produced food and sharing it with you. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great to chat about the local restaurants and food scene. I love it when people approach me in the street following up something from this page. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gaping hole in this discussion to date. We have barely touched upon one of the great heroes of local food production: Holy Goat cheese. I have bursting pride when it comes to the cheese that Carla and Ann-Marie make from their farm at Sutton Grange. This is cheese made locally, with love, by two wonderful women who took a big risk and

followed their dream. A local cheese that pops up at all sorts of restaurants and gourmet events all over Australia. One of the great things about having the Bendigo Community Farmers Market and producers at it like Holy Goat is that you gain a greater understanding of the rhythm of life and seasons. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not guaranteed that Holy Goat will be at every market. Whether they have a presence will depend upon the amount of cheese they have at that time, which in turn is affected by things like the time of year and general weather conditions. I have found that makes me appreciate the cheese even more. You also get to understand

quantities of production when you arrive later and they are sold out. The easiest way to enjoy Holy Goat cheese is to get your favourite version from the market and then pick up a loaf of the vine fruit and rosemary loaf. Make sure you have some quince paste at home and you will be in for a ripper of a Saturday night as you slice off the cheese and smother on the bread. La luna is the Holy Goat variety that gets the rave reviews. Black Silk, with its dark ash exterior and creamy inside, is my favourite. On market day I also make sure I collect a tub of fromage frais to use on salads or homemade pizzas. There are not many things more devastating than finding a

HEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S something about going out to eat in a pub which puts you at ease. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no hint of pretension and the instinct on walking into a friendly bar and dining room is to simply relax. The McIvor Hotel, which combines class and relaxation, is run by Phil and Kim Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pride ourselves on using fresh local produce,â&#x20AC;? Kim said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know what it is like to run a business, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive, and we really like to support local suppliers as much as possible,â&#x20AC;? Kim added.

But the news gets even better. This is going to be a fantastic family day. While the grown ups are sampling dishes and wines and beers and tasting various delicious regional produce, the children will be having a ball with the Mad Hatter who will be entertaining the children and leading them on a treasure hunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A variety of activities have been organised to encourage children to see parts of the garden they may not have seen before,â&#x20AC;? Botanical Gardens curator Brad Creme said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And there will also be organised tours for the grown ups run by the Parks Bendigo team.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Families will be able to build the perfect picnic from hawker style restaurant stalls which include Masons, The Woodhouse, The Willow Room (Heathcote), The Public Inn (Castlemaine) and the Brougham Arms. Alongside wine, craft beer will be also be available. There will be music and a variety of entertainment activities. Over the next two weeks the Food Fossickers page will be showcasing local chefs along with the special dish they will be presenting on the day. A ticket provides you with a tasting glass, access to all the vendors and activities and inclusion in prizes and competitions over the day.

All things Bendigo T

HE Bridge Hotel plays host to a music, new wine and food street festival this weekend. The venue in Bridge Street kicks off at 12.30pm until late on both Saturday and Sunday, March 1 and 2. Live music includes Archer and the Long Gone, Broderick Smith and Dirtbusters with marquees from wineries and brewers plus more. Co-ordinators David Mulqueen and Tony Southcombe came up with the original concept in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were having a conversation, at the Bridge Hotel, it was late one afternoon in the middle of summer and we were talking about Water Street,â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulqueen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beautiful old oak and elm trees that line the street completely shaded the road on the eastern side of the hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spoke about a concept, a festival where people could enjoy this backdrop.â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulqueen said at the time there was no Blues & Roots festival and the Heathcote Wine festival was just starting to gain momentum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bendigo region at the time was gaining popularity with its wines but the boutique beers and

ciders were still at little ways off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regional suppliers of local produce where also somewhat neglected in the new push for music, wine and beer festivals. Between us we sort of knew the history and the potential of what was in front of us.â&#x20AC;? Over the next few months the pair developed a concept All Things Bendigo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fast forward to 2014 and with the Greater Bendigo council support and others including Bendigo Weekly, Win TV, 2 Cool Fishing and others we are now endeavouring to pursue our original concept,â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulqueen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small step with only a couple of wineries but if they and other outside suppliers are supported we will grow.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music is the main focus at this the inaugural event but we have blocked off the Water Street venue before. Over the past two years of the Blues & Roots festival the Water Street site has become a feature and we think we can improve on that even further with All Things Bendigo - Music, Wine and Food Street Festival.â&#x20AC;?

Allsorts in the choirs T

LICORICE ALLSORTS

whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on...

HE sweetly-named Licorice Allsorts Choir will share a program with the Bendigo Youth Choir on March 30. The event will be held at St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church Hall, Myers Street, Bendigo. The Licorice Allsorts were formed in 2002 at Mt Macedon and comprises 14 clarinetists. Brian Thomas of the group said the ensemble uses a range of instruments which cover the same voicing as a vocal choir. â&#x20AC;?We are one of only two known clarinet choirs outside of capital cities in Australia,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We call ourselves Licorice Allsorts

because the old jazz name for the clarinet is a licorice stick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use a variety of instruments from the tiny soprano Eb clarinet to the grandaddy, contra bass clarinet, and we have a large range in ages, occupations and locations of our players, the name Licorice Allsorts seemed appropriate.â&#x20AC;? The Bendigo Youth Choir has won vocal competitions at Royal South Street Eisteddfod, Bendigo Eisteddfod and in 2006 were the Victorian State Youth winners of the ABC Classic FM Choir of the year. The Bendigo program will provide an range of classical and popular music. The event starts at 2.30pm, tickets $15.

heritage matters

Eaglehawk not forgotten t

He northern portion of the Bendigo goldfield had not been forgotten by the organising committee for the visiting officers and men of the Great White Fleet. A number of the leading mine managers were to be on hand to take on their role as spruikers for the promotion of the eaglehawk portion of the field. I mentioned many months ago that the sailors were permitted to descend the mines however Rear Admiral sperry had barred senior officers from such activity. so what to do with these important officers? A small number of prominent mine managers from eaglehawk were to take the officers on a tour of the area where their mines were operating. On the way from central Bendigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s town Hall, the visitors were to be taken by horse carriages along the newly installed lines for the electric trams over to Ironbark, on the way, the mines of Victoria Hill were pointed out. the steel poppet head of the Victoria Quartz was evident and quickly it was boasted that this, and the New Chum Railway mines were the deepest gold mines anywhere. Over Ironbark Hill and down into Long Gully there was also plenty of evidence of mining activity. the mines on Danger Hill loomed up on the left and a little further on the Windmill Hill mine

became prominent. Further still the complex of mines of the Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group were pointed out near taylor street where the mullock heaps and battery sands almost encroached on to the main roadway through California Gully. Jobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gully was to be crossed with the railway line, immediately near the line was the Gas Holder acting as a reservoir for the eaglehawk area from the Bendigo Gas Works. Into the thriving Borough of eaglehawk, the main street was busy with carts loaded with firewood which were being taken to the various mines. Delivery wagons were about, as were women heading in and out of the shops. Once past the town Hall and the Mechanics Institute, they progressed along sailorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gully Road and up to the Virginia mine in its elevated location. Here the parties were to inspect the large winding machinery, air compressor, then on to the battery and learn how the quartz was crushed to retrieve the gold. Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager John ennor explained the crushing process. Mr ennor had on hand a number of gold in quartz specimens to show the visitors the product that had made this mine so important. Mr ennor had been at this

mine for a few years having taken over from John Hooper when he retired. Mr ennor showed no trace of a Cornish accent as his family came to Victoria when he was still quite young. At 14 he began working in the mines of Long and California gullies, then Western Australia beckoned, where he became the underground manager of the sir John Forrest Mine. Upon his return to Bendigo Mr ennor became manager of the Confidence extended before his Virginia appointment. From the Virginia a view west across the Mungo Group of mines formed an impressive view of a score of poppet heads and endless heaps of mullock. John Langdon became the guide to take the officers along to Peg Leg Road and onto the Catherine Reef United Mine where he had the management for just over a year. Back in May 1907 the previous general manager for 16 years had been Robert Coakes, he had

resigned along with the mine manager as some of the large shareholders had been unhappy with the rate of mining development. Mr Langdon was born April 1,1869, as a 10-year-old he came to Bendigo, beginning his mining career as a battery feeder, after a few years he started to work underground. By 1896 he was manager of the silver Bell Mine in tasmania. An identical position was later held at the Mount Lyall Peaks Mine, but Bendigo then called him back. George Lansell had Mr Langdon selected to manage his sandhurst Mine near American Gully. the Catherine Reef United was considered a prize position, although he was both manager and general manager, roles which he acquitted particularly well. Upon returning to the Bendigo town Hall, the party enjoyed the afternoon tea provided by the Ladies Christian temperance Union.

Minutes mark end of career I tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often someone is asked to record their own execution, but job-wise thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happens next in the tragic tale of David Marshall, doomed librarian. We saw last week how his child burns down the house, he and his baby are injured, the library gets ransacked by hooligans, and all this gets reported at length in the local press. surely thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough misery in one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life? Well, no. A management meeting is called, and Marshall has to take the minutes. A report detailing all his crimes and shortcomings is tabled, to be transcribed by the hapless Marshall. He is then asked to wait outside while the committee ponders his sins. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called back in and asked if he has anything to say in his defence. the minutes record that he replied to the effect that his mind is a blank, he had nothing to say. so the meeting, and his career, ended â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all recorded in Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own neat copperplate handwriting. - Peter Thompson

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, February 28, 2014

WEEKLYSPORT

www.bendigoweekly.com.au

email: sport@bendigoweekly.com.au

FC Bendigo is born THE Bendigo Amateur Soccer League this week announced the name of Bendigo’s newest elite sporting club, FC Bendigo. FC Bendigo was decided upon after careful consideration from local identities, businesses and marketing professionals, because of the need to differentiate from local Australian Rules clubs and incorporate strong associations with the world game. FC Bendigo will compete in the 2014 National Premier Leagues Victoria competition, which is a newly formed second tier competition under the Hyundai A-League. The club will have teams compete in all age groups from Under 12s to Open Mens, and provide a clear pathway from grassroots to the Socceroos. BASL operations manager Brock Rogers said he was excited by the announcement of the club name. “By including FC in front of the location, we are differentiating ourselves from the Bendigo Gold Football Club, while incorporating a strong football (soccer) tradition,” Rogers said.

FC BENDIGO: The new logo. “And like all strong and traditional club names in Europe, the location is the heart of the club and its name.” FC Bendigo can be compared to two of the biggest clubs in the world who share the same naming format by including FC prior to the location.

HIGHLIGHT: The Bendigo Tennis Complex.

The Lionel Messi-led La Liga club, FC Barcelona, and Bundesliga powerhouse FC Bayern Munich, are also named using the same convention. Along with the announcement of the club name on Wednesday, the club’s logo was also released. The Chinese dragon within the logo has a strong link to Bendigo and its Chinese history, but it also shows the strong link and relationship between FC Bendigo and the BASL, which has the Chinese dragon incorporated into its logo. The logo also incorporates the strong traditional sporting colours of Bendigo in royal blue and gold. Football Federation Victoria also announced the fixture and promotion and relegation structures of the NPL and NPL1 competitions on Wednesday. Teams in NPL1 will play 26 matches, with Bendigo’s season commencing with a trip to Avondale Heights on Saturday, March 15. FC Bendigo’s first home game will be played at Epsom Huntly Recreation Reserve against Moreland on April 5.

Time to nominate for the hall of fame THE Bendigo Bank Bendigo Football Netball League will honour legends of the competition this year, with nominations for the BFNL hall of fame opening this week. The induction will be the fourth the league has conducted, and will be marked with a gala dinner to be held on Saturday, August 2 at the Bendigo Club. A maximum of 15 people will be inducted and will be in recognition of outstanding service to their clubs and the BFNL, in a range of categories from playing and coaching, to volunteering and the media. A selection panel has been appointed by the BFNL Board and consists of Bill Bonney, Peter Tyack, Bert McIvor, Mick Chalkley and Richard Jones, with board member Andrew Jakubans chairing the panel.

EVCA – Division 1

Golden Gully bids for finals All Stars on court THE Country All Stars Men’s team will again contest the upcoming Tennis Victoria’s Premier League competition starting from Monday, March 10. The team, which will be represented by the best players from across Country Victoria, has been granted one of six available licenses to feature in the competition. Bendigo’s Curt Garwood has been chosen as a co-captain of the men’s team, while fellow local Eliza Long will feature in the women’s competition for MCC Tennis. Premier League is the highest level of club based competition tennis in Victoria, and with the talent level on offer, promises to be a month of quality tennis. Some of Australia’s best players will contest the mens Premier League competition, including Peter Luczak (former ATP #64), Rubin Statham, Andrew Whittington and Dayne Kelly headlining inclusions. Arina Rodionova, Viktorija Rajicic, Azra Hadzic and Alison Bai are the leading lights in the women’s competition, all ranked

within the world’s top 500 players. Tennis Victoria’s competitions manager Jeff Downes is excited about the upcoming competition “Last year some significant changes were made to the competition with the inclusion of prize money, a reduction in the team size, tweaks with match format, Super Rounds and the inclusion of the Men’s Country All Stars,” Downes said. “Following these successes we are really looking forward to another showcase month of quality tennis. Certainly in both the men’s and women’s competitions our 2013 champions Kooyong Lawn TC and Delahey Recreation respectively, will have their work cut out for them in going back to back.” The Country All Stars will play their first match at Dingley Tennis Club on Monday, March 10 against title contenders Grace Park. The All Stars will have their home super round on Sunday, March 23 at the Bendigo Bank Tennis Complex.

GOLDEN Gully is on the brink of making its first finals series since the 2008 season, sitting in third place heading into an exciting last round of the Emu Valley Cricket Association season. The Cobras have been big improvers this season, and handed Marong a crushing defeat to knock the Panthers out of the top four in round 11. After dismissing the home side for 82 on day one of play, Phillip Moore’s 60 not out and a half century from Nathan Hamblin led the Cobras to 169 from 81.3 overs. The defeat wasn’t due to a lack of effort from Marong, quick Jeremy Ross produced a masterful bowling performance of 7/45 from 22 overs. Both Marong and Golden Gully will need a win to be safe of dropping out of the four, with the Panthers taking on United and Golden Gully facing ladder-leaders West Bendigo. The top of the table clash between the Tigers and Redbacks last weekend fizzled out, with the game ending in a draw on ordinary conditions. After a rain delay last

week, United continued its innings and declared at 6/291 to set the Redbacks a big target for victory. Joel Purdy (77) and Ken Bell (45) then led West Bendigo to 4/223 from 70 overs, before the match was adjudged a draw, allowing the other sides in the top four to ever so slightly gain ground on the top pairing. Sedgwick produced one of the upsets of the year at Club Court, downing reigning premier Emu Creek. The Emus started on Saturday chasing the Rams’ total of 252 and were not helped in losing opener David Coghlan with only 12 runs on the board. Fellow opener Brad Rowe continued a good run of form posting 51 before being caught off the bowling of Sam Alcock, and it was game over when the Emus lost their last five wickets for 30 runs, with Sedgwick’s Jordan Ilsley claiming three scalps. Spring Gully claimed only its fourth win of the season, accounting for Axe Creek in a one-day game.

AFL Central Victoria’s region operations manager Justin Abrams said the league was looking forward to honouring the contributions of some of its legends over the years. “It is exciting to recognise a cross-section of greats that have helped to shape the BFNL over a long period of time,” he said. “It is a fantastic initiative and an exciting event”. Nominations for the BFNL Hall of Fame will close on May 30 and can be submitted via the official nomination form by email or post. Nominations submitted for previous inductions will not need to be re-submitted, and will be considered by the selection panel. Nomination forms can be downloaded from the BFNL website at www.bendigofnl.com.au.

Keeping it calm

By JOEL PETERSON

BENDIGO Spirit coach Bernie Harrower admits he is not sure who the Bendigo Spirit will face next Sunday, after the Spirit clinched a second consecutive home WNBL grand final. Bendigo dominated the second half against Dandenong to claim a nine-point win at the Bendigo Stadium last Sunday, with the Rangers to face Townsville for the final grand final spot. It is a case of deja vu for Harrower and The Spirit, who defeated the Rangers in the second semi final last year, before watching on as Townsville travelled to Dandenong and booked spot. Townsville has not been able to beat the Rangers during the regular season in three years, but the inspired play of Suzy Batkovic and the Rangers’ current four-game losing streak has them as massive chances for another trip to Bendigo for the decider. “I think it will come down to the play of Suzy,” Harrower said this week. “If she has a day out, then Townsville will be very hard to stop. “Having said that, I thought Dandenong were very good on Sunday, and with the shooters they have if they can get going it could swing the other way. “Generally in playoffs the home court advantage is the key nine times out of 10, but Townsville showed last year that they can get the job done away from home, and we will be ready to face either of those two

sides in another week’s time.” Harrower came away from his side’s clash with Dandenong happy with how his team fared, especially on the defensive end. With a week off to fill with practice time, Harrower said it would be all about keeping things in perspective. “We’re not really treating this week differently from any other, I

like to be able to do our normal stuff at training, we’ll have an intra-club scrimmage on Saturday and then get back into it next week,” he said. “It’s a key week because you can’t get over excited or over-stimulate the team. You just have to keep things as normal as possible, and then sit down and watch Sunday’s game to see who we will play.” The likes of Kristi Harrower and

Gabe Richards will appreciate the rest, as they battle niggling injuries. Harrower would not be drawn for comment on the future of his star point guard who, like last year, has a big decision to make on her future at season’s end. “I think Kristi will sit down in the cold light of day after the season and think about her options, and we certainly aren’t rushing that deci-

sion,” last year’s WNBL Coach of the Year said. “If she could be a part of backto-back premierships whether she decides to call it a day or not, that would be fantastic, but regardless we have had two fantastic seasons.” Tickets to next Sunday’s WNBL grand final will go on sale on Tuesday from the Bendigo Stadium box office, or by calling 5440 6200.
