ONE of the city’s largest properties is going under the hammer this month. The All Saints’ Anglican Church property on Mackenzie Street has been subdivided into two lots and is set to record a price high in Bendigo. The landmark inner city property is under the control of First National Real Estate Tweed Sutherland principal Craig Tweed. “This is on par with Fortuna with its history, it’s an important part of Bendigo,” Mr Tweed said. “It’s a fantastic development

The opportunities are endless and it’s going to take someone with a broad vision to capitalise on the site.” The site will divided in two with the cathedral, built in the 19th Century, sitting on a 4,154-square-metre lot. The second lot features the former headmaster’s home and school on 1,147m2. Mr Tweed said the lots provided developers with immense scope for residential development or even period office development. “Someone will acquire the landmark property with so

much potential... it is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said. The property, 10 to 14 Mackenzie Street, goes to auction on March 28 at 11am on the site. ••• IN other news, Nanga Gnulle has been sold and will be settled by June.

Five-lot subdivision planned in the city arts precinct

Rooms with a View By CHRISTINE McGINN

VIEW Street has its sights set on a new five-lot subdivision. The former Monthly Auctions building will be torn down to make way for a new mixed-use development, under a proposed application before Greater Bendigo council. The 1180.71-square-metre property will house a threestorey office building and basement, as well as four apartments. Locally-owned development company Robren Australia’s managing director Brendan Edwards said the high-quality apartments would become hot property due to their close proximity to the CBD. “With demand in Bendigo increasing and a rapidly growing population we believe these apartments will be highly sought after when they get to the market,� he said. “These will be clean modern apartments intended for people who wish to live the inner city lifestyle. We believe that these apartments will appeal to people wanting to downsize from the family home.� Apartment one and three will feature four bedrooms with two ensuites, a bathroom, open-plan living kitchen and dining areas and a balcony. Slightly smaller, apart-

“The development will provide further diversity to the use and development of the area.� The ground floor features a 451m2 office space with a large outdoor “breakout space� for employees to take a break.

There will also be 29 onsite carparks for residents and office-workers along with five storage areas for the apartments and office. Council previously rejected two planning applications for the site in 2006 and 2008, which proposed a three-storey building with two ground floor stores and seven apartments. The previous application was successfully appealed at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal but “never acted on�. The planning application remains at council.

High times mark gallery expansion BENDIGO’S much-loved Chinese Lion Dancers will kick off a day of celebrations next Saturday for the opening of the $8.5 million expansion of Bendigo Art Gallery. The dancers’ colourful (and noisy) blessing to the new wing will be the first in a day-long program of activities designed to celebrate this major new milestone in gallery’s long and rich history. The new wing offers twice the temporary exhibition space, which means greater flexibility and scope for the gallery and more opportunities to display its growing collection.

The launch, a daylong program of free events for all ages, is the first opportunity for the public to view the new extension, as well as recent acquisitions from the collection. The program includes curator talks, guided tours, drawing workshops and a range of hands-on creative activities for kids. Highlights include the return of the gallery’s Arty Possum, and there will also be live music performed in various locations from 1pm until late. The day begins at 9.45am. To see the full program, click on this story at www.bendigoweekly. com.au.

Uni holds firm on growth LA TROBE University has reiterated its commitment to the growth of the Bendigo campus, despite announcing 350 jobs cuts across the entire organisation. As part of La Trobe’s Future Ready strategy, vice-chancellor John Dewar has identified 350 full-time-equivalent university-wide job cuts. However, where these jobs will be cut from won’t be known for about three months. Professor Dewar also revealed the five existing faculties will merge into two colleges, known as the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce and the College of Science, Health and Engineering. Bendigo was home to the School of Education. Prof Dewar said the detail of how that would affect Bendigo and the School is still being worked through. “We remain absolutely committed about our strategy in Bendigo to help the community realise its potential as a great university city,� he said. “This strategy is about ensuring we have the resources within the university to do that.� Prof Dewar said the university’s commitment to local scholarship programs, the arts centre and medical school push remained strong. “All of these things remain absolutely in place,� he said. “There is no reduction in the total commitment to Bendigo. “The School of Education will remain headquartered where it is. There is no change there.� In September 2013, Prof Dewar announced a strategic goal of freeing up to $65 million for savings and re-investment into university operations by 2015. “We will continue to embrace our strategic strengths in teaching, research and community engagement, but we must change the way we work and how we structure ourselves to become a more efficient, effective and agile organisation,� he said. “We are already making significant progress on our Future Ready goals. We continue to invest in our five areas of research expertise which focus on world challenges. “Last month, the university’s council approved changes to the academic operating model. During October 2014, the five existing faculties will merge into two colleges, known as the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce and the College of Science, Health and Engineering.� Prof Dewar said most universities across Australia were undertaking a similar process, due to a combination of Federal Government funding cuts and a volatile and highly-competitive student market. “Changes will be felt right across La Trobe University, but we will retain and strengthen what is most important,� he said. “We remain committed to our presence in regional Victoria, to offering our students a quality education, producing the highest standards of research and intellectual inquiry, and encouraging equitable access to a university education for Victorians from all walks of life.�

Council closes road By CHRISTINE McGINN

ONE Tree Hill Road will permanently be shut after a Greater Bendigo council decision this week. The closure runs from the “lookout” car park to Mandurang Road in Spring Gully. Council agreed to the recommendation after a three-month trial closure had three submissions supporting the permanent closure and two objections.

Cr Rod Campbell said people would still be able to access the lookout. “People will still be able to access the lookout and its wonderful views. People who ride and walk up there have safe access to that area,” he said. Cr Peter Cox agreed, noting common sense had prevailed. “This is a fantastic venture for both the local community and, in the future, a great tourist asset. This

is a great response,” he said. Yet, Cr Helen Leach said it was a scenic road and the closure meant not all people could access it. Submissions supporting the closure noted the benefits to pedestrians and cyclists while the objections stated more accidents had happened on the Edwards Road side of One Tree Hill. Two accidents, in the past five years, have occurred on the section of road earmarked for closure.

Haven has a new partner THE son of retail giant Sidney Myer, philanthropist Baillieu Myer, was on hand to mark the start of Bendigo’s newest residential complex this week. The Sydney Myer Fund has partnered with Haven; Home, Safe and the State Government to create Sidney Myer Haven in Sommerville Street. The facility is a $6 million, 23-unit medium-term residential complex supported by an intensive social curriculum aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty and housing insecurity.

“Given the condition and alignment of One Tree Hill Road, permanent closure is considered to be the best overall approach to removing the risk of motor vehicle accidents on that road,” the report stated. “In doing so, considerable opportunity to improve its attractiveness for recreational and tourism purposes will be created.” Emergency and service vehicles will still be able to access the road.

activities. “Overnight and weekend staff will be rostered to provide added support and ensure harmony for residents and neighbours alike.” Mr Marchingo said his organisation was working with neighbouring residents to ensure they were aware of all of the details of the masterplanned development. “We have assured people of our commitment to being good neighbours, and we have systems and processes in place to ensure that’s the case,”

The Sidney Myer Haven is the first of its kind in Australia HHS chief executive officer Ken Marchingo said the event was ground breaking, in every sense of the word. “The Sidney Myer Haven is the first of its kind in Australia, combining medium-term housing and a range of supports, education, and training to improve the living skills and economic sustainability of young people aged between 18 and 35,” he said. “There will be staff on site 24/7 to provide individual support and co-ordinate daily

he said. Housing Minister Wendy Lovell was also on hand for the sodturning. “This project will significantly assist the Bendigo community to address the underlying causes of disadvantage and homelessness and is committed to achieving great outcomes for both the area and residents,” she said. Civil works will begin soon and construction of the first 19 two-bedroom units is expected to begin in May.

LOCAL high-performance coach Jeff Brennan has thrown his weight behind a very worthy cause to support ovarian cancer research. Mr Brennan said when he heard of Bendigo’s Biggest Girls High Tea he thought how he could make a meaningful contribution and do something different to help. He discussed the concept with event organiser Karen Sutherland and said he would like to run from Echuca to Bendigo arriving in time for the March 14 fundraiser. Mr Brennan is contributing a percentage of program fees from his business – Jeff Brennan High Performance Coaching – to the cause along with funds raised from donations and businesses who are sponsoring his RUN100 event. Mr Brennan said he felt passionate about the cause as he has close friends affected by ovarian cancer and a high number of his clients are woman. Mrs Sutherland said there are still tickets available to the event at $100 a head, which includes drinks high tea, raffle prizes and women have the opportunity to shop on the night from some leading local retailers. Mrs Sutherland and the committee have decided to withhold some of the funds raised to give a very special lady a makeover on the day. “The reason for the event is to raise funds to go into research for ovarian cancer but this is a Bendigo community event and we wanted to do something on a community level and to try and put a smile on someone’s face who is dealing with it,” she said. “Over a few hours this lady will spend time being pampered by Jools For Jim, be dressed by Shop 12 have lunch with some special people in her life and be chauffeured around by MyJet Limo.” The night will be hosted by local 3BO identity Bryan Coghlan and there will be an auction conducted by Keith Sutherland. Mrs Sutherland said they are still looking for auction items. “It will be a fun night for the ladies at the same time trying to raise valuable funds to find a cure,” she said. “Again we have some wonderful sponsors being Jools for Jim, Bendigo Heath,Telstra Business Centre, Make Your house a Home, Symes Motors BMW ,NAB, Jeff Brennan HPC, Bendigo Weekly and Win TV. The fundraiser is to be held on Friday, March 14 at the Chinese Gardens in Bridge Street from 6pm.

Operation ARID aims to cut down on holiday driver trauma

Police target road sins By CHRISTINE McGINN

POLICE will be out in force across this Labour Day Weekend, targeting driver distractions. The statewide Operation ARID targets the five driver sins which can lead to trauma and serious injuries on our roads. Bendigo Police Acting Senior Sergeant Della Nihill said police were actively targeting five key messages.

targeting traffic offences.” Acting Snr Sgt Nihill urges drivers to take caution on the roads and remember the long weekend means more traffic.

“Statistics show that the long weekend in March there is an increase in road trauma and we are urging all road users to slow down, take breaks and get to their destination safely,” she said. The operation aims to increase driver awareness and encourage safer driving practices on our roads. Operation ARID started early this morning and runs until midnight Monday, March 10.

Youngsters have the first look at festival BENDIGO’S youngest readers will be the first to get a glimpse of what’s in store for this year’s Bendigo Writers Festival. Teachers at schools across the city will receive notices next week announcing two award-winning writers who will take part in Schools Day on Friday, August 8. “We’re keen to make sure no students miss out,” festival director Rosemary Sorensen said. “We’re giving teachers a headsup about the program, so they can make sure it’s marked in their diaries, and gives them plenty of time to make the most of the visit of so many top writers to Bendigo.” Bendigo Writers Festival, hosted by The Capital in View Street from August 8 to 10, has been boosted by the announcement of a strategic long-term partnership between City of Greater Bendigo and La Trobe University. Schools Day is co-ordinated by La Trobe University’s Sarah Mayor Cox, who also presents a children’s book segment on ABC local radio. “Sarah has lined up some wonderful writers again this year, including the Australian Children’s Literature Laureate Jackie French,” Ms Sorensen said. “Jackie is in high demand this

POSITIVE TEST A LONG Gully driver tested positive to methamphetamines on Saturday night. The 24-year-old man was caught on Gordon Street in Bendigo during a routine police check. The man will either be summonsed to court or fined for the incident pending further test results.

A SUSPICIOUS fire broke out in a residential care unit on Tuesday morning. Detective Senior Constable Tony Roberts said a fire was reported in a nearby bin about 11.30pm on Monday night before a second larger fire broke out at 3.30am. Police have spoken to persons of interest. Arson chemists have also examined the crime scene.

Sandakan recalled BENDIGO’S Sandakan memorial has been spruced up by members of the Post-1975 Veterans Central Victoria group ahead of Sunday’s annual commemoration service. Members have cleaned the memorial at Strathdale Park in Crook Street and will also assist in presenting Sunday’s service at 11am. The Bendigo memorial is one of seven across Australia honouring Australian Servicemen who lost their lives at Sandakan and Kuching in World War Two. Post-1975 group secretary Lisa Gellatly said during 1942 and 1943 the Japanese moved about 2000 Australian prisoners in two groups

not up for debate

By CHRISTINE McGINN

Wednesday night’s council meeting to prevent discussion of the report. Cr Ruffell said she was seeking legal advice about her options and refused to engage in a discussion until the matter was resolved. Her motion was lost and the original motion was quickly revived. Cr Chapman questioned whether future debate would be allowed but settled once it was not ruled out. Cr Leach said she was unsure whether she would sign the new Code of Conduct.

Councillors recognise the importance of working well together “Councillors recognise the importance of working well together and with staff of the organisation,� the new Code of Conduct stated. “The dispute reso-

lution procedure is intended to be used when councillors have been unable to resolve an interpersonal conflict and where the situation is unduly affecting the operation of the council.� Council Executive Services manager Peter Davies said council had no option but to agree to the findings due to the wording of the original code. The new Code of Conduct provides eight steps to resolve internal issues among councillors. The full findings will be public next week.

SAVE Your Bacon is a deliciously-named event with a serious agenda. It centres around a breakfast at Hume & Iser in Charleston Road on Tuesday, March 18, from 7 am until 8.30am, and is part of the Hope Assistance Local Tradies plan. HALT is an organisation that developed in 2013 in response to suicides in the Mount Alexander Shire. Initiated and supported by concerned community members, HALT is com-

“HALT is not a group of health professionals or mental health experts. “We are members of the community who want to help in any way we can to support our community.� The group aims to build a bridge between existing support services for tradies at risk. “We want to facilitate the spreading of information and raise awareness of groups such as Lifeline and beyond blue and on a local level, Bendigo Community Health Services.� Mr Forbes said.

Call for bell funds By CHRISTINE McGINN

A LEADING Anglican said the sounds of the city’s bells need to be restored in Bendigo’s “most significant church building�. St Paul’s Cathedral needs more than a $1million worth of work to restore the bell tower and create a new equal entry on its Myers Street frontage. Bishop Andrew Curnow is calling on Greater Bendigo council to help fund the restoration of its bells. “The tower contains a set of bells given to the city by the public of Bendigo. The bells are for the benefit of the city and not just the church, “ he said.

“The funding is not for religious use but for the bells. Although we have had the benefit of the bells for 150 years, they belong to the city.� The cathedral acquired the bells in 1873 as there was no where else to hang them at the time. Council has been asked to contribute $250,000 towards non-religious aspects of the development belonging to the city. “With council’s assistance we can redesign and completely redevelop the area,� he said. “It’s a small contribution in terms of things.� The diocese is considering two forecourt designs, both extending

to the footpath on Myers Street to create a cohesive space with a ramp and stairs, requiring partial or full removal of the fence. Bishop Curnow approached council in September, to help fund the project but council has not yet budgeted for it. “Action should be taken to improve the financial forecast and minimise the deficit,� the council report stated. Council has already overspent about $4 million with additional requests to the sum of $480,000. Bishop Curnow is not confident council will help fund the project but said he would keep reapplying for the funding.

Mitchell steps out for autism cause A YOUNGSTER is taking steps to raise funds for his special cause, but it will help others too. Mitchell Bourke is 12 and has autism, schizotypal disorder and dyslexia, and on March 16 he will be walking from Epsom to Kangaroo Flat to raise funds. “I want to help set up an autism resource centre in Bendigo,� Mitchell said. “I am looking for people to sponsor me or donate to an online auction being held on facebook. “Hopefully I will be able to reach my target of $25,000.� You can find out more about Mitchell, donate to the auction at www.facebook.com/pages/Mitchs-Autie-Walk or call to offer some support at 0428 006 767.

STARZ FOR SUZIE: The Buckley team formed after the death of mum Suzie, pictured here second from right in a family photo.

Starz join the relay MORE than 50 teams have registered for the 2014 Bendigo Relay for Life. The annual relay, held at the start of April, is already a regular event for established teams. The organisers are always looking for new teams to help raise funds for the Victorian Cancer Council. Stars for Suzie is headed by the Buckley family of Eppalock after the death of Sue Buckley in 2012. “Mum battled for five years after being originally diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2007,” team captain and

Mrs Buckley’s daughter, Dayle, said. “We’ve even had my dad, Alex, on the barbecue for our fundraising sausage sizzle at IGA in Kangaroo Flat. “I originally wanted to raise a $1000 but we are now well past that figure and the $2000 mark is now a possibility.” Dayle has also enlisted the help of her two younger brothers Jordan (17) and Tyson (15), other extended family members and friends for their first relay. “Tyson wants to walk throughout

the night because he reckons he can last a night of discomfort for mum, who never let us see the pain she endured for years,” Dayle said. “If we can help fund a cure for what mum experienced it will be well worth the effort.” To help, phone 1300 65 65 85 or visit www.relay.org.au. Bendigo Relay for Life is on April 4 and 5 at the La Trobe University Athletics Complex, Flora Hill. – Nick Atyeo

BENDIGO is the second stopover when the Heart and Lung Transplant Trust holds a nineday cycling challenge around regional Victoria. The event raises money for its crucial Second Chance Accommodation program. This inaugural nine-day cycling challenge is led by cycling legend Phil Anderson to raise awareness for organ and tissue donation. As part of the event there is a fundraiser planned at the Foundry Hotel. Bendigo ambassador Penny Davies said the aim is to raise funds toward accommodation costs for people who have undergone heart and lung transplants at Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital. “Each recipient is obliged to stay close by the hospital for three months post transplant,” she said. “The Second Chance Accommodation Program provides funding to cover these costs.” Aside from completing the challenge the 25 riders will aim to raise $150,000 to fund eight apartments for 24 months in the Park Regis apartments in St Kilda Road. “The 1100km is to acknowledge the 1100 Victorians who have received new hearts and lungs since transplant procedures began at The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne in

LEGEND: Phil Anderson 1989,” Mrs Davies said. “Information events will be held at schools and community groups along the route with the aim of sharing the facts about organ and tissue donation.” Bendigo Osteo and Inspire naturopathic are both local businesses who will be providing a team of therapist to massage the cyclists when they arrive into Bendigo between 4pm to 6pm. Bendigo Osteo said that they are aware of the importance of accessing appropriate medical care, unfortunately though this is not always available in country Victoria. “It is a huge burden, both financially and emotionally, to be away from home for extended periods to access medical services,” owner Jodi Moresi said. To support the ride the group is holding a fundraiser on Sunday, March 23 at the Foundry Hotel complex. “Our aim is to raise $10,000 – with your support – we can do it,” Mrs Davies said.

Recycling on the move By CHRISTINE McGINN

LOCALS will be able to recycle in 45 public places when new separate bins roll in. Greater Bendigo will clean up its act with $98,960 in funding announced for “high-traffic areas” this week. “People’s recycling practices are not so good when they are out and about so what we are trying to do is get as much waste out of landfills by separating rubbish at the source,” Victorian Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith said. “People forget to recycle because they don’t have access to separate rubbish bins.” The Regional Public Place Recycling Grants is an $815,000 initiative to place recycling bins in 22 regional cities to reduce waste.

“[They].. are designed to see new recycling bins and other infrastructure introduced to remove waste from landfills and reduce unsightly litter,” Mr Smith said. Mr Smith said the enclosed and signed bins would reduce about 29,000 tonnes of rubbish from landfills each year. Yet, Greater Bendigo councillor Elise Chapman had this idea a year ago when she couldn’t find a place to recycle a can in public. “I am ever so pleased my idea got up, from a year ago, but I am disappointed that I wasn’t even told about it,” she said. “We need to find a long-term solution [to waste]. “We can’t keep putting our rubbish in the ground, those days are over. It’s time this city embraced something really good like this.”

CLEAN SCENE: Greater Bendigo mayor Barry Lyons and Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith do the right thing.

Youngsters flip out for pancakes

FLAT OUT: Chelsea Johnson-Bailey, Andre Perryman and Piper Carney-Fisher from St Liborius primary school. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

SHROVE Tuesday brought out pancakes aplenty as two church groups used the week to spread the word. Volunteers from UnitingCare in Bendigo and Kangaroo Flat flipped pancakes for the homeless as part of their Pancake Day. The annual fundraising event encourages local people to help local people. Since it was launched in 2002, millions of pancakes have been cooked, flipped and sold to raise much needed funds.

“Pancake Day is always a fun day for the community, but there are serious issues that underpin it,” local Pancake Day co-ordinator Max Blume said. “This year all money raised directly assists vital UnitingCare programs and services helping people experiencing homelessness or on the brink of financial crisis”. One event was held this week, with another taking place on Tuesday, March 18 at Golden Square Uniting Church Hall from 10am to 1pm. The cost is $5 for two pan-

cakes with toppings and a cuppa. Caritas Australia co-ordinator Kerry Stone said their Project Compassion is Australia’s largest fundraising event for aid and development. “Pancakes remind us of our privilege and plenty as we recall the old Shrove Tuesday tradition of using up the flour, milk, eggs and sugar,” she said. Caritas handed out free pancakes to all including 300 students from 10 schools, with entertainment provided by students.

Shine the Light on Prems ball a success ON SATURDAY, 22nd February at the Conservatory, All Seasons on McIvor Road, another spectacular event was organised by the committee of Loddon Mallee Kids (LMK), to raise much needed funds for families with premature babies. Bendigo Real estate is proud to be associated as one of the major sponsors of this annual event. Everyone had a great night, dressing up in their 1920’s-inspired outfits while Nekti Tzouroutis, a director at Bendigo Real Estate, entertained the crowd, auctioning off six items including the major auction item, a seven-night stay at Front Beach Houses Torquay in a fully self-contained townhouse, kindly donated by owner Liz Murphy. Other auction items included a helicopter ride in Melbourne, cricket memorabilia, advertising packages and a financial planning package. The night was a roaring success raising just over $14,000, all of which will go towards both local special care units and providing support, information and resources for families with premature babies.

The night would not have been possible without the generosity of all the sponsors and supporting businesses who made contributions with their donations and support on the night. LMK is a not-for-profit organisation, so a huge thank you needs to go to the LMK committee for their tireless commitment and dedication in organising events such as this one. Bendigo Real Estate is proud to be a part of such a wonderful cause and looks

forward to partnering with LMK in future events and fundraisers. Nekti is an active committee member and has been dedicating his time to what he describes as “a very worthwhile cause” for four years. Any businesses considering offering their support can contact Laura on 0407 534 970, Angela on 0428 118 160 or Nekti on 0412 242 321. Alternately, you can send an email to: lmk.premmies@gmail.com.

Great lengths JOHN Parker took the plunge in our region’s waterways on Wednesday for a good cause. Mr Parker is the Victoria State Emergency Service’s regional manager and has been training for several months in preparation for the marathon 17-kilometre swim. The event was broken up across the region’s major lakes, rivers and reservoirs, to raise funds for the Victorian Emergency Service Association Welfare Fund. This fund provides crucial support and assistance for SES Volunteers or their families dur-

ing times of hardship. The event kicked off at first light at Lake Eppalock and continuinued at Cairn Curran Reservoir, Bridgewater on the Loddon River, Little Lake Boort, Lake Charm, Kangaroo Lake, Lake Boga and concluded at Swan Hill in the Murray River. “There have been several incidents recently where one of our volunteers or their families has faced difficult circumstances, and VESA has provided invaluable support and assistance,” Mr Parker said. “Witnessing the positive impact this fund has under these

circumstances has motivated me to conduct this event.” Donations can be made to the VESA Welfare Fund at any Bendigo Bank. All donations over $2 are tax deductible. Details from northwest@ses.vic.gov.au

Unicycling Sam rides out for party ACTOR Samuel Johnson has finished unicycling around Australia raising money and awareness to help conquer breast cancer. He has set a new Guinness World Record for the most distance travelled on a unicycle, but more importantly he’s raised more than $1.3 million to help find a cure for cancer. His journey has been inspired by his sister, Connie. “Connie is my hero and she’s currently battling breast cancer,” he said. “All of this was her idea. She’s set me the toughest challenge she could think of and I have

done it all for her.” In January, he hosted an afternoon tea at Bendigo Bank where he was met by almost 100 of his Bendigo followers. Mr Johnson said the response from Bendigo has been overwhelming. Bendigo Bank media manager Lauren Andrews said they are throwing a party to celebrate the achievements and help raise a few more dollars for the Garvan Institute. “The Love Your Sister Bendigo Cocktail Party will be held at The Exchange this Saturday, from 7.30pm,” Ms Andrews said. “It will be a great night

Writer had cause for concern I UNDERSTAND why Dianne felt that Remembrance Parks Central Victoria had the audacity to send her and many others, a letter inviting her to join other volunteers to help clean up our cemeteries in Bendigo (Insult added to injury, Bendigo Weekly, February 28, 2014). The event was the Clean Up Our Cemeteries Day coinciding with Clean Up Australia Day. Dianne’s late husband was interred last summer at Eaglehawk lawn cemetery. RPCV have stated in the past that the responsibility to maintain graves belongs to the holder of the “right of interment”, usually a relative and RPCV was prohibited from spending any money on maintenance unless it was a “current” grave or new burials.

So one would think that a burial such as Dianne’s late husband, performed in the past 12 months would be considered as current. Although RPCV may have thought it was a good idea sending out letters, so as to attract more volunteers, it is, in hindsight perhaps an inconsiderate request. Perhaps RPCV should consider employing more grounds maintenance staff. There is an obvious need and the cemeteries can then be maintained to an expected level, to ensure cemeteries and graves are given the respect they deserve. A final resting place where people go to pay respect to and ponder, the life of a family member or friend. As a member of the community I have in the past voiced my concerns and possible solutions in regard to the appalling con-

dition of the Bendigo cemetery and graves. Concerned, Strathdale (Name and address supplied)

One week to duck opening IN Victoria this year we can look forward to a tiny percentage of the population slaughtering our native water birds, all of which should be protected year round, as in the more enlightened states. We can also look forward to at least a quarter of all birds shot having an agonising and prolonged death. Those people who think passionately about the lives of animals and wish to protect them or rescue those injured will be liable to arrest and prosecution. This doesn’t look like civilisation to me.

Counting the dollars By BRUCE PHILLIPS

I WOULD like to reply to Ted Coleman’s article in the February 21 issue of the Bendigo Weekly regarding tourism. It just seems to me that Mr Coleman is good at counting dollars but may have little cognizance of the big picture of what has made, and is continuing to make, Bendigo attractive as place to visit and to come and live here. There are a few counterpoints that need to be raised. Firstly, tourism is but part of a number of activities that benefit the community and incurs a cost on the Greater Bendigo council budget. There are many inter-

relationships which are difficult to discern and evaluate. Secondly, costs of travelling to Bendigo are counted (theoretically) as a benefit for our community, but the cost of Bendigonians travelling intrastate, interstate, and overseas is a reduction of money that otherwise would have been

The proposition of complete independence is highly premature spent in our community. There is no way of assessing this effect on the overall economy. It seems reasonable to assume that what you gain (theoretically) is at least equal to what you lose. Thirdly, those involved in the tourism industry contribute many dollars to promote tourism and pay for council services. These

sums are included in council’s budgeted expenses but are not paid from rates. Lastly, there are no museums or art galleries in regional Australia who can exist without municipal support. While Bendigo is doing better than most, and may well be the first to do so, the proposition of complete independence is highly premature.

The very best of our sporting talent BASKETBALL and cycling take centre stage this weekend in Bendigo as the city prepares to celebrate the very best of two very different sports. Not much more can be said of the Bendigo Spirit WNBL team – the defending national champions who only a few years ago stared down some pretty serious financial troubles that threatened the club’s very future to re-emerge as a genuine powerhouse. The Bendigo Spirit represents the pinnacle of women’s basketball in Australia, and the team faces a formidable opponent on Sunday afternoon in the Townsville Fire in a contest worthy of its championship deciding status. The Tom Flood Sports Centre has never looked better than it does right now, with final preparations under way for what should be an intriguing, and

Four days of world-class cycling action kicked off last night, before winding up a super sporting Sunday with the athletics finals and the iconic Bendigo International Madison itself. The madison field features three current world champions (including former Bendigo resident Glenn O’Shea), and many international and national stars, as well as some of the local rising stars of the sport. While basketball, cycling and athletics might dominate the headlines, the 2014 Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria Urban Championships for CFA volunteers will be held in Bendigo this week-

A proud yet humble man, Mr Murley gave more than four decades’ service to the CFA, including 32 years as Eaglehawk captain, during which time he oversaw the redevelopment of the old

fire station on Peg Leg Road to include the iconic heritage building as part of a more modern station. Fittingly, his funeral service is planned to be held at the Eaglehawk Fire Station from 11am today. May he rest in peace. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

arts focus with Christine McGinn

Works of genius and ambition ONE of the finest art exhibitions is calling Bendigo home showcasing “the long 19th Century”. Genius and Ambition has made its first departure from the Royal Academy of Arts to Australia, more importantly our city. Bendigo Art Gallery director Karen Quinlan said the exhibition provided an “unparalleled opportunity” to view works that built the foundation and revere of the RA. “Bendigo Art Galley has built up a good CV and people are talking about what is possible here,” she said. “We are thrilled and are very much looking forward to hosting this extraordinary collection of works.” About 100 British and

European works are on display in the Bendigo Art Gallery until June this year. Royal Academy of Arts secretary and chief executive Charles Saumarez Smith said the quality of the work together was remarkable. “It is a great initiative for Bendigo to have the area to show the works, gifts and bequests shown in this gallery,” he said. “Australian artists treated the RA as a place they wanted to exhibit. It was a very important institution to give credit to artists.” Revered works by John Constable, Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough are housed in the collection among other influential 19th Century artists.

Thirty Australian artists’ works will hang alongside the internationally renown works from students, and later exhibitors, who attended the RA. Previously hung in state galleries, the Australian works reflect the high culture of the 19th Century from artistic notoriety in-

weekly words with Steve Kendall

dear dotty...

Going nuts over the loaf A cunning plan to save a bread maker was not as simple as it first seemed

Dear Lorna, Good news! Haven’t you heard of the CWA. The CWA isn’t like it used to be, it’s much more liberal and outgoing these days. Go along to the Gay Branch and make some lemon tart, relax and meet like-minded people.

I

HAVE had a few weeks of drama. It actually suits me for the purposes of this column, but at the time it was painful. It all started when my trusty bread maker fell apart. It’s one of those autobake ones, and I can honestly say I use it at least twice a week, and have done for about six years. Something had to crack, and it literally did. The seed and nut dispenser fell to pieces and left me with a bread oven that could not add seeds or nuts part way through. Now this may not seem like a major problem, but I love my nutty bread, and pumpkin seeds are a must. The dispenser lives in the lid, and I removed it to shake out the fragmented parts. The lid was now useless, and I hopped onto ebay to find a replacement. Seems my best deal was to buy a whole new machine, and I did so for a fraction of the cost of a new one. When it arrived I noticed it was an older model, but the lid

Dear Dotty, I feel so lonely. I live in a small town near Bendigo (and no it’s not Bears Lagoon). I am, I’m afraid, the only gay in the village. To be more precise, I’m the only lesbian in the village. Everyone is so straight they think gay people are happy. Lonely Lorna

was the same. I swapped it, baked a loaf and was horrified to discover the nut dispenser failed to operate. I had not fixed the problem. I put the lid back on its original oven and then noticed as it was an earlier model the bread pan was smaller and the measurements were in pounds rather than grams. What’s more I had no instruction book. I measured by eye, and part way through the loaf rose too high and jammed the dispenser shut and lifted the lid and tried to escape the pan. Guesswork was a bit off that day.

I tried again, and the nut dispenser did not work, even on its original oven. I was getting a bit miffed at this point, so decided to pull things apart. I asked the long suffering Mrs Kendall to have a look and she discovered the button to release the dispenser. All seemed to operate. I then had a clean around and all seemed to be working. I was very excited, and thought I would try the new lid on the old oven, which had the bigger bread pan. I part ran the machine empty until the nut dispenser worked and almost cheered. Then I put a loaf on for real, my original oven with the

new ebay lid on. My goodness, the dispenser worked. Half an hour later I remembered I had not put any yeast in. I looked at the sad flat loaf in its oven, with seeds though, and tried to add some yeast. Didn’t really work, and we are fighting our way through a very solid loaf. Not content, I made another, remembered the yeast, and the most perfect loaf was baked. See what I mean about a drama. I am proud of my recycling skills though, and the bread machine is back in working order. Phew.

Dear Dotty, I have been trying for years to give up smoking and have just about given up, I love it so much. But if you smoke in public these days you just about get arrested. Cross Craig Dear Craig, Go down to your local pub, have enough wine to sink a ship and you’ll forget all about the desire for cigarettes. Dear Dotty, I have a very big hallway and don’t quite know how to fill it. Any suggestions? Wondering Steve Dear Steve, I don’t think you can go past a polar bear in your

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, March 7, 2014 TASTY DISH: Mussels are worth the effort.

Local food industry insider with Marika McMahon

Mussel mania

W

HATEVER your weekend has in store, you need to make sure you kick off Saturday with a visit to the Bendigo Community Farmers Market. The footprint of the market is expanding this week, so there will be a few additional stalls for us to explore, including a mussel seller. So often I hear parents stressed out at the thought of what to serve kids for dinner – something they’ll eat, something that is quick to prepare, something that’s not too expensive, something that is nutritious. In the quest for finding that perfect meal for kids,

Food

don’t overlook the mussel. I was pretty staggered to see how enthusiastically my crew embraced a bowl of mussels as one of their favourite meals. At first I put it down to the frites and mayonnaise that accompanied their first samples of mussels, then I remembered at least one of my kids is not at all fussed with deep fried things. Was he swapped at birth or did I eat so many fried things when grappling with morning sickness that he has been turned off them for life? Mussels are now on high rotation at home – it is probably that tactile thing

Clock

where kids embrace a dish that involves them having to handle the food, they have both perfected the art of using a mussel shell as the “spoon� for the scooping up more mussels. Just a shame that mid week Pete and I can’t enjoy ours with a few choice Belgian Beers. I used to be scared of cooking mussels. All those tales about violent illness from the not opened properly mussel, the task of “debearding� the mussels. Now I know better. Once you have got the rhythm, the five minutes it takes to clean up the mussels is a great way to switch off at the end of

garlic and chilli to the right consistency. With the luxury of a long weekend ahead, grab some mussels and experiment with a dish that may soon become a weeknight standard ready in 15 minutes.

HERE will be something for everyone this Sunday at the Taradale Mineral Springs Festival. Look out for handcrafted local wines and produce including olives, oils, preserves, puddings and lots more. There will also be plenty of food to go with yum cha, pancakes and barbecue delights among many. There will be plenty of entertainment with African drumming workshops and Zumba demonstrations and Judith Lanigan hula hooping her way around, as well as live music from jazz singer Meg Corson, the Deckaids and Gussy and the Barn Cats. The event kicks of at 10am at Mineral Springs Reserve, Taradale, and runs until 4pm. BYO picnic blanket and basket to fill.

Davis has announced the market has attracted three new fresh food producers, all Victorian Farmers Market Association accredited. “This increase in stall numbers coincides with newly granted permission from the Greater Bendigo council, VicRoads and the Bendigo and District RSL to spread out along the pavement towards the RSL,� she said. The new stall holders

are Andrew Wood of Glenora Heritage Produce (from Tooborac), who specialises in more than 10 heirloom varieties of tomato, along with many other seasonal vegies, including wild harvested mushrooms, watercress and nettles. Marg May of Kangaroo Hills Organic Farm hails from Blampied and offers certified organic wines and lots of fresh vegetables in

season, and Michael Houghton of Western Port Mussels Suppliers, based in Melbourne. Supplies always live, fresh mussels, scallops, native flat oysters and wakame seaweed. “Michael is the only fisherman licenced to harvest wakame seaweed in Victoria,� Ms Davis said. This month’s market is on Saturday from 9am until 1pm at Sidney Myer Place.

Feeler revisited IN the 10 years since Feeler was released, Pete Murray has produced three more albums. None, perhaps have had the impact of this first CD for Sony. Over the years he has been revisiting Feeler and decided to record some of the tracks with an orchestra, this led to the whole album being re-recorded by the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra. Murray remixed the original album at London’s Abbey Road Studios, and the result is a two disc set. Murray is on his way to Bendigo with his original band the Stonemasons, hitting The Capital on March 12. “Once we started using the orchestra for a few tracks, we decided to do the whole thing,” he said. “I am very happy with the original Feeler, but I certainly thought I could do something with it. “We have given some of the songs more life, more power.” Murray said he thought

he’d made some of the solo songs more mellow too. The first Feeler was produced in minimum time on a limited budget. “On the last night we worked all through until 7am, just to get it finished,” he said. “On the new version we had more time to get it right. “I have had some great feedback from fans.” Byron Bay has been Murray’s home for the past eight years, with stints in Brisbane and Melbourne, and the singer originally from Chinchilla in Queensland has certainly travelled with his work. “Australia is a big country, and despite what some might say people do have different accents wherever you go,” he said. “Western Australia is very different from the east coast.” On his present tour, Murray is using a string quartet with his city shows, on his regional shows, including Bendigo, it’s Pete and the band.

Time for the Applefest PETE MURRAY “It’s actually harder to play with the strings,” he said. “You really have to keep the time, with the band we’re a bit more relaxed.” Since Feeler was first released, social media has given Murray a whole new access to his fans, and he sees it as a positive. “You get instant feedback from your work,” he said.

“It’s interesting because I have a wide fan base who talk to me on Facebook, and as the album has been around a while families are coming to the shows.” The fans are saying they like Feeler and they like the new Feeler too.

LTHOUGH Steamatic had its humble beginnings as a carpet cleaning company, it now does so much more than just clean carpets. Local franchise owners Gareth and Siobhan Tawton have watched the Bendigo outlet grow into a major specialist cleaning company. “As well as carpet cleaning we also provide a range of services that include rug cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, upholstery cleaning, curtain cleaning, window cleaning as well as smoke and odour removal,� Gareth said. Steamatic technicians are also fully trained in the art of mould remediation. Technicians not only take care of the ‘visible mould’ but also the non-visible airborne spores. Steamatic’s air cleaning systems allow you to rest assured that airborne levels of

mould spores are returned to a healthy natural level. If you are sensitive to dust and pollen, Steamatic can clean your air conditioning and heating ducts, allowing you to breathe easier. Their state-of-the-art duct cleaning system allows Steamatic to clean and decontaminate your heating and air conditioning ducts while a hospital grade HEPA air filtration system prevents the pollutants from being redistributed. Steamatic services the majority of Australia’s insurance companies as an approved supplier for flood and fire restoration. So, next time you have a catastrophic event like flood or fire, you can phone Steamatic on 5448 5200 and be assured of professional, diligent service at all times.

Let the warrior worry for you

W

Hen recording the Chinese in the Australian colonies during the 19th century the terms that were used in describing them were rarely complimentary. the Chinese were referred to as “John Chinaman�, instead of using an actual name, or alternatively they were called “celestials�, and very often “the pagan� Chinese. All these titles were used in a derogatory way. We can find very little about their actual religious practices that is not coloured with prejudice or disdain. there were the odd occasions that the Chinese were described as “the industrious Chinese�, but on the whole they bore the burden of prejudice with patience, perseverance and quiet acceptance, going about their work or tasks with methodical persistence. In some ways this often became the source of jealousy from the european community. An example of this jealousy is the way the Chinese alluvial miners worked areas abandoned by europeans and made a living from them because of their careful methodical work practices. Language and cultural barriers became an impediment to better

communication, most of the european immigrants, did not demonstrate the same work practices as the Chinese. As their dress differed they were thought to be strange, yet it is to the Chinese that we owe the trouser or slacks, which was then the main attire for the lower part of the male body. Chinese also were thought to be dirty, yet during the first decades of the gold rush the european population was often described as the great unshaven and unwashed. We have to remember in many areas there were no good clean sources of water and the advent of a reticulated supply would still be many years away. the vast majority of the Chinese that arrived at the Victorian goldfields came from the southern part of China, particularly the very crowded Pearl River delta. toi Shan or the four districts and their associated villages was the source of most Chinese and they, just as their european counterparts, hoped to strike it rich and then return home. Reality for those seeking their fortune in a new land was often thwarted by not having a lucky strike, yet like many immigrants they gravitated back to their original

WARRIOR: For peace. training, whether in trade or business. the newcomer of each community desired to give themselves a semblance of home in their new land, and so familiar practices such as religion along with other mutual support organisations were soon established. One of the most revered figures used in wor-

ship for the Chinese, was Guan Gong or Kwan Kung as he is often described. Guan Gong was an extremely capable general in one of the armies of the three Kingdoms and when he died he was elevated to saint or god-like status. What were the attributes of Guan Gong? He was virtuous, personified honour, loyalty, integ-

rity, justice, courage and strength. As far as Chinese history is concerned he is regarded as the most famous of all their generals. As a warrior during battles he was always dominant, powerful, demonstrating great courage, leadership, and showed his ability as a superb tactician. In paintings, Guan Gong is normally depicted with a red face expressive of righteous anger, also having a long beard and a great bladed instrument mounted on a handle is always at his side. His great desire is to enact justice for all. Guan is the general’s family name and Gong means Lord, he always liked his actions to speak for themselves he does not wish to attract attention to himself. Guan Gong wished to see people showing friendship, fidelity, brotherliness, and be interested in these virtues, rather than material things. In short, Guan Gong is a venerated warrior for peace. Bendigo AIGS is holding their ever popular Family and Local History expo at the Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre, Browning Street, Kangaroo Flat on March 16, from 10am to 4pm.

WRITTEN WORD: Sidney Myer’s booklist.

Myer a man of many words I t is well known that Sidney Myer began his illustrious retail empire here in Bendigo. He was a famously busy man, relentlessly innovating and pushing the boundaries of retail and customer service in Bendigo and later the whole of Australia. So what did this extremely busy man do to relax? Apparently he enjoyed a selfimproving book or two in his spare time, and maybe even the odd potboiler novel. Library records for Sidney Myer show that between February 1905 and August 1907 there were more than 200 books borrowed under the name of Sidney Myer of Pall Mall from the local library. Some of the titles borrowed were An Uncommercial traveller, the Bubble of Finance and the Rothschilds. the vast majority of them were popular novels of the time, and perhaps many were borrowed by his first wife, Hannah Flegeltaub, but it’s an interesting insight into the mind of one of Australia’s most famous figures. – Peter Thompson

Rudy Kelpie

I am a a gorgeous, young boy who may still have ha some maturing to do. I haven’t had a lot of training, so I will need someone who will have time and patience with me m so I can reach my full potential. I am social with other dogs and need plenty of exercise for further stimulation. A family with older children that are able to discipline me would be ideal.

Male. Est 6 months

I am a very beautiful boy I’m very social with other cats and as you can see, I have a girlfriend. I love attention and have a very sweet nature. I will be desexed and microchipped when I am adopted.

City a cycling winner By JOEL PETERSON

BENDIGO will host more than 600 of Victoria’s promising young cyclists when the city hosts the Victorian Schools Cycling Championships state finals in October. The finals festival will be held across BMX, mountain bike and road disciplines for Victorian school students aged six to 18. The BMX state final will kick proceedings off on Friday, October 10, before attention turns to the trails of Spring Gully for the mountain bike event on the Saturday. The series for 2014 will wrap up and the road champion crowned on Sunday, with a CBD criterium to be held. The weekend-long festival adds to a strong calendar of cycling events for Bendigo, including the Victorian Open Road Championships/Bendigo Grand prix, Bendigo International Madison and hosting stage two of the Jayco Herald Sun Tour. Cycling Victoria general manager Kipp Kaufmann said the event is a coup for junior cycling in Victoria. “We are thrilled that the City of Greater Bendigo, the Bendigo and District Cycling Club, Bendigo

BMX Club and Bendigo MTB Club are supporting the event,� Kauffman said. “We want to showcase the enormous levels of talent and passion for the sport within our school programs and there is no

better place to do so than in Bendigo.� Greater Bendigo council Major Events manager Terry Karamaloudis said the VSCC coming to Bendigo was an example of collaboration between the key cycling

bodies in Bendigo, Cycling Victoria and the city. “We achieve more when we work together. Congratulations to all parties for their collective input which has paved the way for this event to come to Bendigo,� he said.

The VSCC program includes 15 events across the state in 2014. Local students can enter the BMX and MTB events directly, and can qualify for the Road State Final via the Midlands zone final on July 31.

The Women’s madison is also back for another year on Saturday night, only the second time the event has been run. Event chief executive officer Rik McCaig said Friday night’s criterium would serve as the perfect launching pad for a massive weekend at Tom Flood. “Friday night is always a crowd favourite, looking at the weather forecast we should get a cracking night for what should be a really high quality race,� he said. “There are a lot of really tal-

ented guys and a lot of locals like Sam Crome and Brendan Schultz eager to do well, so it should make for a great race.� Saturday night’s women’s madison will see inaugural champions Bella King and Ashlee Akudinoff square off against one another, after both getting back from the UCI World Track Championships this week. “The women’s madison last year was a really good event, and it’s great to be able to bring it back this year with a strong field,� McCaig said. While the 200-lap madison on Sunday night is the centrepiece of the weekend, Mc-

Caig said the athletics events play a huge role in the weekend’s success. “I’ve long said that the carnival wouldn’t be what it is without the athletics events, and they provide some real quality contests throughout the weekend. “The athletics really play a huge part in making the weekend what it is, and we’re thrilled to have some really great athletes competing and increased numbers across the board.� As for the big race on Sunday night, McCaig offered a tip that might fly under the radar a little, despite his pairing of

George Tansley and Miles Scotson being former national madison champions. “I think Glenn O’Shea will be hard to beat, defending champions Christan Grassman and Leif Lampater are back too, but I like the combination of Tansley and Scotson,� he said. “They are both very smart and promising young riders, and I think with the field being so deep they might be able to ride the right kind of race and get the job done.� Tickets to this weekend’s Bendigo International Madison will be available at Tom Flood Sports Centre or at www. madison.org.au.

Watson on a winner By JOEL PETERSON

SANDHURST netballer Chloe Watson is set to showcase her talents on the big stage, when she co-captains Victoria at the upcoming under-21 Australian Championships in Adelaide. Watson has been one of the rising stars in the Bendigo Football Netball league over the past several seasons, representing the BFNl in interleague competition as well as

being selected in the Australian Under 19 squad. AFl Central Victoria region operations manager Justin Abrams said the BFNl was extremely proud of Watson’s achievements. “It is a fantastic achievement for Chloe and is a terrific story of hard work and dedication,” he said. “Chloe is living her dreams and has a promising future in netball at the highest level. Chloe’s pathway is an inspiration to all BFNl

netballers and provides hope to all young aspiring netballers coming through the BFNl ranks. “It is a testament to the strength of netball within the BFNl that is assisting young netballers and providing an opportunity to better themselves and progress through the netball pathway.” The Australian Under 21 championships will be played at Netball SA Stadium in Adelaide from March 11 to 16.

Firies fight it out on the oval ADDING to what will be a bumper weekend for Bendigo sport, the 2014 Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria Urban Championships for CFA volunteers will take place at Weeroona Oval this weekend. The VFBV championships weekend will include a torchlight procession through central Bendigo, as well as several events at the Napier Street base. The competitors are CFA volunteers from all over Victoria, plus a Metropolitan Fire Brigade squad and another from Western Australia.

FAST PACED: The event is sure to produce keen competition. More than 3000 CFA volunteers will be competing over the course of the weekend, with

around 1000 spectators and supporters in tow. More than 70 teams in total will battle it out

from 8.30am until about 5pm on Saturday and Sunday, with a 2pm finish on Monday.

EVCA – Division 1

Even match for five All five games in the Emu Valley Cricket Association are evenly placed, headed into the last day of home and away play this weekend. At Ken Wust Oval, ladderleaders West Bendigo will resume at 0/5 after dismissing finals hopeful Golden Gully for 249. Nathan Hamblin notched up his second consecutive half century with 59, while Brendon lummis (54), Nathan Shatwell (47) and Jeremy Rogerson (41) also made valuable contributions. Boe Bish was the best of the bowlers with an excellent 3/7 off 7.4 overs and will resume at the crease alongside Travis O’Connell on day two. Alex Collins’ knock of 69 and a half century from luke Kairn set United on its way to a total of 204 against fifth-placed Marong at Ewing Park. Marong needs a win to make the finals, and the combined strike power of Duane Anderson (5/40) and Jeremy Ross (4/46) helped restrict the Tigers to one of their lowest scores of the season. The Panthers will resume at 2/23 on Saturday, having lost the wickets of Scott Ross and Tom Huf, both claimed by Andrew Gaul. Despite six wickets from paceman Brett Haw, Maiden Gully had a hard time stopping Emu Creek, with the reigning

premiers notching up 251 from 74.3 overs. Simon Cattanach lead the way with 66 before he was caught off the bowling of Haw by Rob Brown, after forming a 102-run partnership with Brad Rowe (46). Brown was the only other multiple wicket taker for Maiden Gully, which will chase 252 in search of only its second win this season. Sedgwick’s recent run of good form has landed it in the most dominant position headed into day two of play in round 12, resuming at 3/60 after knocking Spring Gully over for 126. Jayden Mannix top scored for the Crows with 42 and had support from Jarrod Harris (30), but five wickets from young gun Zac Poole and three from Rams’ veteran Scott McKenzie ensured Sedgwick would not have to chase too many runs for victory. Sam Alcock (20) and Poole (12) will be at the crease for the Rams when they resume this week. Finally, Axe Creek has made a good start in its game against Mandurang, with Rob Fisher’s 88 and 50 from Ash Dixon propelling the Cowboys to a total of 8/257. Charles Ready also chipped in with a handy 45 for the home side, while Geoff Mclean took 3/41 for Mandurang, who needs a win to ensure their finals position is safe.

Harrower ranks as all-time greatest By JOEL PETERSON

SIT back, take notice, and enjoy Bendigo, because this Sunday’s WNBL grand final may be the last chance we get to see the city’s greatest ever sportsperson in action. We have seen the likes of Olympic gold medallist Faith Leech, dual brownlow medallist Greg Williams, sailing world champion Glenn Ashby and of course the ever courageous Joel Selwood. But despite being only 163cm tall, Kristi Harrower stands above the rest. When the 39-year-old, who celebrated a birthday this week, pulls on her number 10 singlet and steps onto the Bendigo Stadium hardwood this Sunday, it could be for the last time. Irrespective of that, the champion point guard has an opportunity to cement her legacy as the

Stressful final run

I think I’ve just done something that I’ve always loved town’s greatest sporting export with a second consecutive WNBL championship captaining her hometown side. One look at her glittering CV and it’s hard to make an argument against her: Four Olympic medals, four world championships medals including two gold, WNBL most valuable and defensive player of the year awards, seven WNBL allstar five nods, another all-star berth in the EuroLeague competition and, of course, two WNBL championships. When asked about what the honour of being the greatest sporting export from a town that herself and her family have given so much back to, an emotional Harrower said it is a great honour. “It’s funny when people talk about that, I get a bit emotional about it. I think I’ve just done something that I’ve always loved,” she said fighting back tears. “I’ve put all the time and effort that I could into it and I’ve always given 100 per cent when I’ve

stepped over that white line. “It’s a special honour to be recognised like that. Now for me it’s about giving back to our younger girls and to pass on that experience that I’ve got doing what I love.” Walking the line between proud father and coach, Bernie Harrower said Kristi holds the title above the great sporting champions Bendigo has produced. “You look what she has done, not only at home, but internationally, and it is a pretty incredible effort,” he said. “And all this from someone who they said was too short to play. She is an amazing athlete and an amazing competitor, and I am certainly proud of her achievements.” Whether Kristi decides to bow out after the grand final or play on another season, she said it would be an amazing way to go out.

Spirit chases two From Page 44 Despite the Spirit holding the league’s best record at 23-2 through the team’s regular season and one finals clash, Harrower thinks his side will go into the game as underdogs. “As far as I’m concerned we’re going in as underdogs, we’re playing the only side that’s beaten us this year and they beat us twice, we’ve only beaten them once,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of people that are 50-50 as to where this game is at, and seeing as they own the head-tohead I think that makes them favourites.” Townsville coach Chris Lucas said after his side’s win over Dandenong on Sunday, the team that executes better on the day will win, in Townsville’s case what would be its first championship trophy. “My experience from last

year is that in grand finals the side that plays better on the day will win, it’s as simple as that,” he said. “Bendigo are a class act, they are top of the ladder for a reason and have been together a long time and have so much wonderful experience. “We will come down there with no fear and just give it our best shot, that’s what we intend to do. We’re not coming down to lose.” The aim for Bendigo all season long has been to win back-to-back championships, and Harrower said it would be a fitting reward for two seasons of dominance. “We won it last year, this year we’ve had a great season, and the only way to finish that off is with a championship.” Sunday’s WNBL grand final tips off at 3.15pm and will be broadcast live on ABC TV and on local radio station 101.5 Fresh FM.

“Last year when we won the championship I felt like I wasn’t ready to retire, but this year I probably am a bit closer to it,” she said. “I feel like I have given a lot to the sport and have given a lot to Bendigo, a town that I love. I think the hardest thing this year has been how hard it has been on my body, and the fact I have struggled with my shot while the rest of my game has been pretty good. “If I was to go out, winning back-to-back championships at home would be the best way to do it.” No matter the outcome of Sunday’s decider, and whether she plays on or not, the tenacious, unflappable point guard will go down as one of the sport’s all-time greats. And she should go down as Bendigo’s all-time greatest.

BENDIGO Spirit all-star Gabe Richards said the team’s preparation to this year’s WNBL grand final has been different to last year, but in a good way. With the Spirit earning the week off, as the side did in 2013, it has allowed the players time to freshen up and rest any niggling injuries. This year with the added stress of whether or not the club would host the game due to seating requirements taken away, Richards said it has allowed for more time to focus on the job at hand. “It has probably been a little more stressful, in the regard that we haven’t had that extra uncertainty to deal with,” Richards said on Wednesday after speaking to students at La Trobe University. “I think last year we felt like we had to fight for the right to host it. The excitement is still there, walking around town people are still wishing you well and getting on board so it’s really exciting. “The week off has allowed everyone to freshen up and come in in a really good mindset.” Richards has a mammoth task in negating the influence of Australian Opal Suzy Batkovic, who has enjoyed another stellar season after winning the league’s past two most valuable player awards, and a third when the league announced the winner on Thursday. The 188cm centre will not have to face the task alone though, knowing that Kelsey Griffin, Chelsea Aubry and Sara Blicavs will step in to take the load off when necessary.

“Suzy certainly is a phenomenal player and she is the reigning MVP for a reason, and it’s definitely a big task,” she said. “It’s one that I don’t have to do alone, I think the beauty of the team is that we have so many options we can throw at her and the rest of the Townsville side on the defensive end. “It’s great to know that when you’re defending someone like Suzy you’re not on your own, and you have the entire team backing you up, and that’s true in all areas of the game with us, we just play as a team.” Richards and Griffin spoke to La Trobe Sports Development and Management students about how the Spirit has been able to have success, on and off the court, in the past two years. La Trobe has been a supporter of the club since its inception into the WNBL in 2007. “This course focuses on grassroots and high performance sport, so the visit is an opportunity for students to gain a unique insight into the operation of a local sporting organisation achieving outstanding results on the national stage,” La Trobe’s regional pro-vice chancellor Richard Speed said. “We ask our students to pursue ideas and excellence with energy. We ask them to hold themselves accountable for making great things happen.” There are only a few tickets to Sunday’s WNBL Grand Final remaining, available through the Bendigo Stadium box office, calling 5440 6200 or at www.bendigostadium.com.au.

Lady Braves start the season with tough team THE influx of quality players into the Bendigo Lady Braves ahead of the 2014 SEABL season continued this week. Chantella Perera joins the club after playing with Kilsyth Cobras for multiple seasons, having averaged close to 14 points and five rebounds in 2013, and 18 points per game in the 2012 season. She will add athleticism and scoring power to an already impressive backcourt for the Lady Braves, that has also had height added with the signings of Alex Bunton and Rosie Fadljevic. Perera has also taken out three WNBL championships, two with Canberra, and again last season with Bendigo. The 175cm guard, best known for her athleticism, is looking forward to suiting up for the Lady Braves. “Bendigo is a great place to play basketball,” Perera said. “I am enjoying my time here and am looking forward to suiting

up for the Braves this upcoming SEABL season. “The Braves have great a culture and team chemistry and I’ve played with a lot of the girls before so I hope to fit in well and hopefully with my experience add to their success from last year.” Lady Braves coach Jonathan Goodman said the dynamic 25-year-old will have a big influence on the group. “Chantella is an exciting athlete that loves to get out in the open floor and attack,” Goodman said. “She is aggressive to the basket and fits perfectly into how we want to play,” he said. “She’s a dynamic playmaker that puts a lot of pressure on opposing defenders.” The Bendigo Bank Braves have also added more quality, signing guard Lachlan Urwin last week. The Braves then played a practice match last Saturday against Ballarat, launching a spirited last

Familiar path to final By JOEL PETERSON

HAVEN’T we been here before? The WNBL grand final is in town, the Bendigo Spirit are playing the Townsville Fire, and you could be forgiven for thinking it is 2013 all over again. One person knows that is not the case all too well. That person is Bernie Harrower. The Bendigo Bank Spirit coach has to prepare for a Townsville Fire side that is different to the one the

Spirit defeated to claim its first WNBL championship last year, but the way they plan do it remains the same. “We have to play as a team, it’s as simple as that. On both ends of the court, especially defensively, we have to work as a unit,” Harrower said this week. The path to the grand final has been eerily similar to last year for both sides. Exit Jess Foley and Jess Adair and Nicole Romeo from last year’s

Fire squad, enter sharpshooter Stephanie Cumming, young gun Rosie Fadljevic, WNBL rookie of the year Alex Wilson and the league’s three-time Most Valuable Player, Suzy Batkovic. Bendigo finished atop the ladder to beat Dandenong and book its grand final spot, while Townsville won the first semi final before also beating the Rangers to secure its berth in the decider. The main quandary for most sides this season has been how to

stop Batkovic, but Harrower doesn’t necessarily believe the influence of the 193cm centre holds the key to the game. “When we played them the last time, the only time we have beaten them, Suzy had 27 and 17 rebounds and we kept them as a team to only 57 points,” Harrower said. “For us it’s about making sure the rest of their group doesn’t get going, people like Suzy are going to have their big games because they play enough minutes and get

enough shots that they well get their 20 or 30 point games. “What we have to do is make sure that Steph Cumming doesn’t score 15, that Kayla Standish doesn’t score 15 and limit their other options. “I tell the girls, there is one basket, one basketball and five of us, so we are at an advantage when we play our style of team defence that has been so successful.”
