The fallen girls ST Aidan’s Orphanage has been seen historically as a benign, holy and bountiful presence on Bendigo’s skyline. However, its magnificent gates and imposing architecture hide a story of sexual and emotional abuse,

suicide, beatings and solitary confinement. DIANNE DEMPSEY spent three months talking to and researching the stories of nine “fallen girls” who found themselves in the care of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. – Story Pages 10 and 11.

The Weekly look at the local real estate market

Changing the landscape A NEW precedent of homes is being snapped up in and around the hospital, according to a leading real estate agent. Barry Plant Bendigo director Bill Williams said the Bayne Street homes were built to Melbourne specifications and were located close to the Bendigo hospital. “These suites will change the landscape around there and if these sell successfully, it will significantly change the market,� he said. “It will set a precedent in this area.� Ten double storey townhouses on Bayne Street, North Bendigo, are at the heart of this property change. On the market from $550,000 each, the three room plus study homes resemble chic, detailed inner city urban residences. Five of the homes have already sold, showing the financial growth and demand for modern dwellings in the area. Although significantly higher in price, Mr Williams said the market was there. “The professionals, often young professionals, who have been around North Bendigo for a long time, are choosing convenience for a smaller block,� he said. “If the townhouses sell, it will set a precedent. People will expect to pay $550,000 for homes around the area.�

METROPOLITAN: Melbourne-style homes are coming to Bendigo. On average, older homes on a 1000 square metre block sell for about $350,000 in the area, according to Mr Williams. Mr Williams said locals and Melburnians were snapping up the properties with a broad crosssection of people purchasing and inspecting the homes. Bendigo’s property market remains strong and steady, especially as the hospital reaches new heights. The remaining homes will be on display tomorrow between 11am to noon and Sunday from noon to 1pm at 36-38 Bayne Street, North Bendigo. ..................................................

TAFE to merge

BendigoWee kly ISSUE 860 FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 2014

By ANTHONY RADFORD

BENDIGO TAFE and Melbourne’s Kangan Institute have formally announced their intention to merge. The Bendigo Weekly revealed the merger talks last month. Under the new plan, the organisations’ 10 campuses would remain, including the historic McCrae Street site. Both TAFEs would also keep their existing branding. Under the deal, a new Centre of Excellence in Health and Human Services will be created at McCrae St. That new centre will be aligned with the new Bendigo hospital. Bendigo TAFE chair Margaret O’Rourke confirmed the formal merger application yesterday afternoon. “A merger of the two institutes would strengthen and expand the delivery of high quality education and training in

Bendigo and Central Victoria,” she said. “The merger would lead to a revitalisation and growth of the region’s training sector, with long-term and far-reaching benefits for individuals, industry and the wider community. “This includes providing current students, school leavers, existing workers and employers with more choice about the training they can undertake. “The new institute would include a focus on its three centres of training excellence – in automotive, fashion and design, and health. It would also expand the youth engagement strategy presently offered by Kangan.” Under the proposed merger, students at the current Bendigo TAFE campuses would be offered access to 55 courses presently offered by Kangan, subject to student demand. “A merged institute has the potential to generate increased investment in Bendigo, with

accompanying growth in job opportunities over time,” Ms O’Rourke said. Ms O’Rourke and Kangan Institute chairman Michael Brown said the two institutes had canvassed a range of opportunities within the tertiary education sector, and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from business and education leaders in Bendigo for the merger proposal. The two institutes concluded discussions this week and have now sought the approval for the merger from the State Government. Mr Brown said the proposed merger would expand the delivery of Kangan’s quality course offerings, especially in automotive and fashion training, to Bendigo students. “Bendigo and Central Victoria are experiencing strong economic and population growth, which must be accompanied by a growth in training services

across a range of industries,” he said. Ms O’Rourke said the proposed integration of Bendigo TAFE with Kangan Institute would give students in Central Victoria an expanded range of training opportunities that could not be offered by Bendigo TAFE alone. “A merger with Kangan would give us the scale and size to offer new courses, especially in health services through the proposed centre of excellence,” she said.

Support for those in need A NEW approach to supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged Victorians will expand to Bendigo as part of the State Government’s new Services Connect initiative. Housing Minister and Liberal Member for Northern Victoria Region Wendy Lovell made the announcement this week. “Services Connect improves the way services such as child protection, disability, housing, homelessness, family services, mental health and alcohol and drug treatment work together, particularly for people and families with complex needs,” she said. Services Connect integrates and streamlines the services, giving clients one point of contact, one plan and one client record across the range of services, rather than each service duplicating the other. ”By giving people one clear plan of support we help people build the strengths and capabilities they need to move out of disadvantage rather than continually cycling through it,” Ms Lovell said. Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge said trials have been operating in Dandenong, Geelong, Preston, Shepparton and the South West Coast over the past two years, with early results proving extremely encouraging. “Individuals and families have told us they are looking for a simpler experience of human services, with one person to contact, for information to be better co-ordinated so they only need to tell their story once, and for their services to be managed in a co-ordinated way,” she said.

Hours cut for preschoolers LODDON Mallee Preschool Association students will have their learning hours reduced after a lack of guaranteed continued funding. Despite research showing the benefits of 15 hours in a child’s year prior to starting school, hours will be reduced to 10 in 2015. The State Government has budgeted for 10 hours while the Federal Government is yet to decide whether to fund the extra five hours. Loddon Mallee Preschool Association chief executive officer Phil Hocking said children are benefitting from the 15 hours. “We have to remember 15 hours has only been in for 12 months. We have seen improvements in the children’s social skills, their numeracy and literacy skills, as they spend more time with other students, ” he said. “The reduction in hours would also seem to contradict the body of research that demonstrates that a minimum of 15 hours exposure to a quality early learning program is critical for children.” The National Partnership Agreement on Early Childhood Education was signed in 2008 under the Gillard government. Under the 2008 agreement, four teachers would deliver the 40 week, 15 hour program over five years, with $970 million funding shared across the nation. – Christine McGinn

CIRCLE OF FUN: Preschoolers are ready for for the fundraising fair.

Kindergarten’s ready for Sunday fun BENDIGO’S Dr Harry Little Preschool is opening its doors this Sunday for their fundraising fair. The annual event, which hopes to raise thousands of dollars to buy new equipment and materials, will help to ensure the centre can help children grow for the future.

Parent and fair-coordinator Laura Murdoch said the fair is the kindergarten’s one and only fundraiser for the year. “The kinder is one of the only in Bendigo which is run by families, so we provide all the maintenance and equipment,” she said. Parents have been working

hard to ensure it is a success, with festivities including a silent auction, bear hospital, showbags, hot food, a major raffle, face-painting, jumping castle, as well as a variety of games and competitions. Local businesses have been generous in supporting the event.

“We are overwhelmed with the 150 local sponsors that we’ve had,” Ms Murdoch said. “Its a brilliant kinder. Their program really prepares the child for school.” The fair kicks off at 11am. – Sam Kane

Pressure on Premier to release support funds misses the mark

Refuge still on hold TARGETING Premier Denis Napthine as part of a campaign to build a women’s refuge in Bendigo is seemingly the wrong move. For three years, the Annie North Women’s Refuge has waited for funding after the government secured a parcel of land for a high-security refuge development in 2011. The campaign pushed for money in last week’s state budget, but it was revealed afterwards funding for such a project would never be included in a budget. A push to pressure Dr Napthine to release the $4 million of funding also looks like the wrong target. A State Government spokesperson said the Department of Human Services’ Capital Committee assesses and makes recommendations to the DHS board on proposals for asset investment. “This process is conducted at arm’s length from the ministerial

level of government,” the spokesperson said. A DHS spokesperson said the Department was still looking at the merits of the plan, against other projects. “This is a day-to-day matter and the Department will continue to work with the agency on the merits of the project,” she said.

sets and improve governance arrangements. “It is important that due consideration is given to all projects so we can make sure the social housing portfolio is best suited to the clients it services.” Annie North is pushing for the refuge as a sanctuary for women from outside Bendigo,

How many more have to been killed to notice the national disaster it is “Capital funding decisions are subject to strict departmental governance mechanisms. “This is very important to ensure the best use of public funding and to maximise benefits to vulnerable Victorians from the social housing portfolio. “Our key directions in the recently released Social Housing Framework aim to have better as-

mostly Melbourne, who are fleeing potential life-threatening situations. Annie North chief executive officer Julie Oberin said one Australian woman in a domestic violence relationship is murdered every week. The Bendigo figures have not been presented as part of the campaign.

“How many more have to been killed to notice the national disaster it is. We are turning women and children away every day because we don’t have any more room,” she said. “Domestic homicides are on the increase and we are seeing how tragic it can be. Women and children who seek help should not be turned away and not cooped up in hotels for ever.” Ms Oberin said the organisation had been earmarked for funding for years but they could not be patient anymore. “This development would have all the facilities on site. We need to bring all the things people need to them instead of putting people in an unsafe environment,” she said. The refuge currently houses three families in a high-security home each night with an additional eight families sleeping at other properties.

WORKS on the historic Chapel located at Kangaroo Flat Remembrance Park is due to start within the next week. Remembrance Parks Central Victoria confirmed it had listened to community feedback regarding the potential demolition of the chapel at a community meeting held in March 2013. RPCV has since been actively working with the community to raise the necessary funds to restore and maintain an important piece of Kangaroo Flats History. With its origins dating back to circa 1860, the chapel suffered fire damage as a result of a suspected deliberately-lit fire in December 2012, which compounded existing structural issues and resulted in the structural integrity of the building being compromised. Offers of support or queries on how someone can support this project can be directed to Clarissa Ayres at RPCV on 5446 1566.

reservoir. By 11am all who took part were back, the park was emptying out and another successful classic was over. The money raised will go to breast cancer research, and the volunteer team led by Gaye Harrington will start planning for next year.

AWARD: Tony O’Connell and Travis O’Connell with Vision Australia’s Ron Hooton. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN THIS year marks the 25th anniversary of National Volunteer Week, which, fittingly, has been given the theme, celebrate the power of volunteering. Without the support of more than 230 volunteers, Vision Australia Bendigo wouldn’t be able to provide many of its services to people who are blind or have low vision. On Monday, Vision Australia held a morning tea in Bendigo to mark the work of its volunteers. Tony and Travis O’Connell from Bendigo have been volunteering at Vision Australia Bendigo since 1994.

Tony started as a fill-in bus driver transporting clients to and from their homes to attend the Vision Australia Day Centre. He has also transported a visiting vision-impaired staff member to her appointments with clients. Travis’ volunteering goes back to assisting at the Vision Australia Day Program as a student back in 1997 where he ran activities to coincide with the AFL grand final. The pair also filled up trailer loads of Christmas trees for many years at the family home, bringing them in as

a fundraiser to sell in front of Vision Australia each weekend leading up to Christmas. Tony and Travis can also be found setting up the fencing for the annual Vision Australia Easter Egg hunt in Rosalind Park. “I enjoy my volunteer work at Vision Australia but don’t do it for the recognition,” Tony said. Vision Australia is the leading provider of blindness and low vision services in Australia. It supports more than 33,000 people who are blind or have low vision.

Volunteers in the limelight BENDIGO Access Employment has thanked its army of volunteers for their work. Chief executive officer Michael Langdon said volunteers were a vital part of the community and they play a very special role in the running of Bendigo’s disability services. “At Peppergreen Farm our volunteers work to maintain our gardens and assist in the production of our veggie bags,” he said. “It is not just the physical efforts that we are appreciative of. Every Tuesday and Thursday they provide a cheery smile, a helping hand and a welcome chat. “Our supported employees particularly enjoy the help and camaraderie of our volunteers.” Mr Langdon said the volunteers made Peppergreen Farm a better place to work. “We are so fortunate to have each and every one of you. The care and effort you put into our veggie bags not only ensures quality but also ensures that they go out on time,” he said. National Volunteer Week is aimed at recognising volunteers across the nation. SNACK: Michael Langdon serves volunteers at celebrations for Volunteer Week. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

THE FALLEN GIRLS THOUGH many years have passed, the story and memories of their time at St Aidan’s remains all too vivid for those who suffered at the hands of a group of people who had seemingly lost their way.

Crippled by a lack of proper care By DIANNE DEMPSEY

KATHLEEN Coughlin, a second cousin of mine, spent her childhood and early adulthood in Bendigo’s St Aidan’s Orphanage. As a young girl I remember her as a tiny, white-haired creature who lived in her sister’s house somewhere out the back. When she heard the sound of children’s voices she would painfully make her way to the dark kitchen where the only light came from the glowing wood stove. She would come in laughing and hopping on her crutches, and then gratefully lower herself onto her chair. Even as a little girl, I thought her story was beyond belief. Cousin Kathleen and her sister, Nora, were first put into the or-

phanage when their parents were unable to care for them. That was the way of it back in the 1920s. There was no social welfare net and the church responded to the call of the government by providing for the care of children who had lost a mother or a father or more rarely, both parents; economic hardship was also a common factor for children being put into orphanages. Often family members would step in when there was a family crisis, but when they couldn’t, the good sisters of the church provided. One day in the orphanage young Kathleen became ill. Diagnosed with tuberculosis, which was rampant at the time, she was put to bed. And there she stayed for 13 years – 13 years. Her bed was on the third

HAPPIER TIMES: A nun and four of the girls who lived at St Aidan’s. floor of the orphanage on a cold and drafty veranda. Nobody apparently thought to give her regular checkups and as the years passed, she became a fixture, like a picture on a wall, a cripple confined to bed. A doctor happened to pass her by one day and out of sheer curiosity he asked what was wrong with Kathleen. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd, who ran the orphanage, told him she was a cripple. When the doctor examined cousin Kathleen he found nothing wrong with her; but she had been kept in the bed for so long that her legs had atrophied. She was in her late 30s, and by the time she came home, had learnt to walk on crutches. St Aidan’s is today preserved by the National Trust. Although no longer used as an orphanage it still stands on a hill imposing and majestical. Everyone in our city is aware of its architectural imprint; that alongside the Sacred Heart Cathedral, St Aidan’s is one the two medieval-inspired buildings constructed by the Catholic church. The money for both buildings came from the shrewd investments of the Reverend Henry Backhaus. A pioneer priest of the goldfields, Backhaus had a knack of buying and selling – well. At the request of Bishop Stephen Reville, the Good Shepherd Sisters came to Bendigo in 1904 to

set up the orphanage and care for Bendigo’s needy children. It was also the first orphanage of its kind to accommodate young boys. The sisters modelled St Aidan’s on their Abbotsford convent. They set up the orphanage, a farm and orchard and, more critically, an industrial laundry to sustain the operation. Also part of their charter was to protect women and girls at risk, commonly referred to as “penitents”. Maryfields, the red brick building on the left hand side if you are standing at the front gates, was specifically built in 1930 to accommodate girls and women from the age

of 16 upwards. However according to several women interviewed for this article, girls as young as 11 and 12 were also housed there during the time of their stay in the early 1970s. Historically, St Aidan’s has been seen as a benign, holy and bountiful presence in Bendigo. It is a view confirmed by Martha (who wishes to remain anonymous). Now in her 80s, Martha, who was in the main part of the orphanage, told me that the sisters were good and kind women who cared for the children as best they could. When her mother had died and her father couldn’t look after his children by himself, the local priest

Cruel games and physical abuse IN her memoir Sins of the Mothers written with Amy Willesee (Pan Macmillan 2006) Donna Davis writes about her time at St Aidan’s in the 1950s. There was a kind nun there, Mother Carmela, who was gentle and affectionate but Donna’s bete noir was another nun, who had as one of her special torments a cruel game of chasey in the dark. The nun waited until late at night and called for the bed wetters or other girls who had misbehaved. She would sit on a chair in the courtyard and tell them they must walk right around the entire orchard in the dark. Donna would run and stop, sweat and cry and wet her pants, again. Bed wetting was not approved of in orphanages. Donna had to stand in the

The nun waited until late at night and called for the bed wetters... to sleep on the veranda where the wind came in through the louvre windows. The same veranda cousin Kathleen slept in.

One night Donna wanted to go to the toilet but was stopped by an older girl who was in charge of the bedwetters. Before Donna could go past her, she had to masturbate the older girl. The years pass, Donna is pubescent and gets her first period. It is an experience right up there with the shower scene of Stephen King’s book Carrie. “One morning I wake up to find that my cold wet sheets are stained with red. There is blood and pee everywhere. I go beserk, crying and yelling, I’m dying! I’m dying!� A nun rushes up to the distressed girl and gives her a whack with her stick. She tells Donna that the bleeding is supposed to be a secret and “just the filth of the body working�.

When I told Martha about my cousin Kathleen, Martha told me she remembered her. “It was one of our jobs to change her bed every day, she was always out there on the balcony,� she said. When the convent closed in the early 1980s the Bendigo Advertiser published an obituary of sorts for the institution saying that, �St Aidan’s will long be remembered for the devoted work done there over the past 75 years�. But I could never forget Kathleen’s story. Whenever I drove past the imposing building I always thought of my cousin trapped in her

A DIFFERENT LIFE: Four boys peer out of St Aidan’s gates. Photo: alan doney bed and my curiosity peaked. What else happened inside that building behind the Gothic arches? Some of the stories I discovered sound Dickensian in nature. I interviewed several women who were sent there in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. And I also refer to two published written accounts. The women say that cruel beatings, solitary confinement, sexual abuse and emotional abuse were not unusual. Common themes emerge: sadistic nuns, long hours of domestic

drudgery, scrubbing floors, a scant education and laundry work. It is a Gothic horror story, appropriate enough for the building which housed it. It is the story of an institution, which was for many years deemed beyond reproach. And it is the story of an order of nuns who turned in on themselves and for a time, lost their way.

Next week: stories of abuse, beatings and despair.

POLICE found a missing Strathfieldsaye autistic teenager safe and well on Wednesday. Brandan Norton, 14, was found kicking a ball into his neighbour’s tennis court wall after being reported missing for about 13 hours. Step-mother Kay Norton said Brandan often walked as a method to relieve his stress or anxiety. “Brandan has autism and he lets everything build up. He doesn’t know how to express his feelings. When everything just builds up, he gets into his head that he needs to get away,” she said. Ms Norton said Brandan last went missing about a year ago, again, to deal with his anxiety. Neighbour Margaret Keech saw Brandan from her house window before going to speak to him. Ms Keech said he appeared to be returning home when he was located on her Sullivans Road property. The youth was found wearing the same clothes, a Western Bulldogs jumper and trackpants, he left in.

THE design for the new Long Gully splash park will reflect Bendigo’s rich mining history, with more than 200 people voting in favour of the gold rushthemed design. Greater Bendigo council asked residents to choose between three designs, which also included a giant scorpion and a giant spider. Nearly 500 people cast their vote. The gold rush theme attracted 221 votes, the giant scorpion received 148 votes and 128 people liked the giant spider design. The three designs and a voting form appeared in the Bendigo Weekly. Council and Champions IGA Long Gully collected the votes and schools and pre-schools in the Long Gully area were also given images of the designs and voted by putting a sticker next to their favourite.

be a great asset for the Long Gully and wider Greater Bendigo community, so it is important it features a design that people want and will enjoy,” he said. “Each design had great merit but the gold rush

theme is a very unique and fitting design for our city and it’s unlikely it will be seen anywhere else.” Construction at the Cunneen Street site will begin soon and the splash park will open in time for summer.

It will run and run Thank you Bendigo, for once again coming out in such great numbers to support the Mother’s Day Classic to help raise funds for breast cancer research. Seeing so many people up early and dressed in pink, just reinforces the extent of goodwill that exists in the community for this event. Events such as this happen because of a great deal of support from our sponsors including Fernwood Fitness, The athlete’s Foot, The Professionals Real Estate Bendigo, Greater Bendigo council and the Bendigo Weekly. a heartfelt thank you also to the loyal band of volunteers who selflessly turn up on the day to help set up and run the event. I would also like to thank the small but effective committee without whom the event would not be possible; Ben Cook, Graham Beet, Jacinta McIvor, Jarrod Epps, Peter kennedy and the tireless Tom Dobeli, and to their families who graciously allow them to dedicate their time. Since the initiation of this event, the five-year survival rates for women diagnosed with breast cancer have been continually increasing, and it’s nice to know that through participation in the Mother’s Day Classic, Bendigo has made a contribution to the research that has enabled this great outcome. Gaye Harrington, Mother’s Day Classic Bendigo

Violence still tears families apart WITh United nations’ International Day of Families approaching this week, it’s timely to remember the thousands of families across australia torn apart by violence every year. Sadly, family violence is common and too many women and children still suffer at the hands of men. The mental health impact on those affected is huge. Recently, we’ve seen a groundswell of public outrage when high profile, tragic cases of family violence make the news. But there are still many people who are still prepared to excuse, trivialise or stand silent in the face of behaviour that’s abusive or harmful to women and their children. This is unacceptable. We all have a responsibility to work towards a society where violence is never excused and where

perpetrators of violence are held accountable for their actions by everyone in the community. Later this year, Vichealth will release the most comprehensive research on community attitudes to violence against women and gender inequality ever undertaken in australia. This will give us a clearer understanding of where the problem areas in our society are and what we must do to change damaging attitudes. It’s time to continue these frank and open discussions and to decide, as a community, what we can do to create lasting change for our daughters, mothers and sisters and imagine a future for them – and their children – that is violence free. Jerril Rechter, Chief Executive Officer VicHealth

Keep your distance IT is with some concern that I noticed that our mayor, Barry Lyons, was photographed with the two Liberal candidates for Bendigo at the announcement of funding for the kangaroo Flat pool. as one of the candidates is the mayor’s son, it wasn’t a good look. It implies that the Liberal mayor is supporting his son, the Liberal candidate Councils are not meant to be party political It would be a shame if our council was like Ballarat’s and had issues around probity. Maybe the mayor needs to step aside while there is a state election on if he can’t distance himself from state politics. Jacob, Bendigo

Missing out on history PRoPoSaLS for reform in the Labor Party reveal not only that they are bereft of leadership but they are ignorant of their own history. In the opportunistic quest for power and its exercise they have forgotten the dark days of the late 1960s when they were saved by Gough Whitlam. During the term of the leadership of Whitlam there was a constant struggle for power with the supporters of Jim Cairns who advocated the very reforms now suggested by the leader of the parliamentary party. Whitlam successfully maintained that the involvement of branch members through the election of candidates via a branch ballot and an increased membership would be self-defeating.

The key political imperative is to win seats currently held by the other parties where the support is lowest, so the effect of proposed changes would only increase internal struggle for safe seats and result in oblivion. opinion polls show that discontent with the current government is highest outside the capital cities yet support for The Greens is an aberration because change is being driven by technology. The surest way to government is by the selection of quality candidates. Bendigo has been well served by the capacity of David kennedy to recognise the attributes of John Brumby and Bob Cameron. But eminent members of the bar have been shown to be the best choice. Mick Sandiford, Long Gully

Plundering the mining boom “no excuses, no surprises, no new taxes under the government I lead”. Sound familiar? The me, the situation that has been discussed recently is caused by the Coalition’s plundering of the mining boom, inflicting the largest impost of non means tested middle and upper class welfare this country has ever known handed out like

confetti, setting the tone of the welfare handout mentality that exists today. on top of these handouts, $40 billion dollars of income tax cuts which were unaffordable on the eve of the largest world financial crisis ever were handed over, and now according to the Prime Minister a debt tax to retrieve some of this loot is about to be inflicted on many of its recipients. But as a typical case of Liberal hypocrisy, the debt problem of today is being laid squarely at the Rudd Government’s spending during the GFC. This singular accusation is a complete violation of the truth. on leaving office in 2007, the Coalition’s $20 billion dollar surplus was totally financed by asset sales, including Telstra, after receiving approximately $400 billion dollars over and above normal tax receipts over 11.5 years. This “surplus” would be the last any government would see for years as the structural balance of the budget had deteriorated from 200203 moving in to structural deficit in 2006-07 as disclosed in budget paper number one on budget night, revealing the deficits the world’s greatest treasurer had left the incoming government as follows, including $25.6 billion dollars in 2009-10, $38.4 billion dollars 2010-11 and $31.3 billion dollars in 2011-12 and after just months in office the GFC stripped another $210 billion dollars of revenue from circulation,

which left the Rudd Government facing $95.3 billion dollars in budget deficits, and a loss of $210 billion dollars in revenue into the future without spending a scent. The Coalition agreed to the government’s request to borrow $267 billion dollars, 93 per cent of the $285 billion originally requested to prevent massive business failures and massive unemployment. The continuation of letting this deficit increase and worsening the situation, is an obvious political tactic by the Liberals to belt everyone over the head with a baseball bat, and when you wake up in emergency, tell you they have just done you a favour, and hand you a $6 dollar bill for your troubles. When the previous government left office the budget deficit was $17 billion dollars, and debt was expected to peak at $315 billion dollars by 2015. It is now rumoured to be in the vicinity of $40 billion dollars and the debt ceiling has been raised to $500 billion dollars. If we had a budget emergency as was alluded to as far back as June 2013, why has the Treasurer done nothing in the eight months since elected, except to worsen the situation by inaction and personal decisions. The mushrooms of australia look forward to that explanation with interest. Ken Price, Eaglehawk

editorial

A blighted life THERE may be some Bendigo people, both Catholic and non-Catholic, who will be offended by our feature story of St Aidan’s orphanage. It has long been part of our heritage landscape and an institution associated with the benevolence of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. The orphanage was established in 1905 by the Sisters at the request of the Bishop of Sandhurst, Bishop Stephen Reville. It was a time when many Catholic families were struggling, and without the aid of a government welfare system, relied on the generosity of the Catholic church. The Sisters also relied on the wider community who would take care of the children during holiday times and also make a vital contribution to the annual fete. Our investigation centres around events which occured during the 1950s, 60s and 70s and it reveals many harrowing stories. These stories were told in good faith by several women who are now aged in their 40s, 50s and 60s. The women described a childhood blighted by their time at the orphanage. Not only were they denied any

recognition of the trauma of separation from their families, their treatment sometimes involved harsh and sadistic punishment. They were treated as pariahs, as being unfit for the company of the community. One of the women interviewed, Sandi Gamble, was 12-years-old when she was sent to the orphanage by her mother for being naughty. As the doors of the convent were locked behind her, she was told by a nun it was to protect the “good people of Bendigo� from her. Sandi wasn’t placed in an orphanage dormitory but in the Maryfields section which was supposed to be for “fallen women�, “court girls� or “penitents�. Maryfields also accommodated mentally ill and disabled women. Sandi said girls as young as 11 lived there. And like the older women, the girls were expected to work in the industrial laundry which the sisters ran in order to subsidise the cost of running the orphanage. The girls worked in the laundry, which was often referred to as a Magdalene Laundry, before school, at lunch time and after school. Their schooling was done

by correspondence. When they weren’t working in the laundry they were often on their hands and knees scrubbing floors and if they were deemed to be slow or recalcitrant some were beaten with a heavy stick or sometimes put into solitary confinement. Some of our interviewees lived in the orphanage section and one was made to wear a urine-soaked sheet over her head when she wet the bed. Not all of the sisters were cruel, not all of the children suffered, but importantly, some of them did suffer and they suffered terribly. We reveal these stories not to be vindictive or seek apology, but in the interests of truth. Our history – Bendigo’s history – can only be our history if it embraces this truth. Without the truth we live with illusions and fairy stories rather than history. We also reveal these stories for the sake of the women who suffered all those years ago. Many still suffer today. By denying their pain we deny their reality and perpetuate their pain. The story of St Aidan’s will be running for several more weeks.

pk Harsh measures revealed with Peter Kennedy

AS far as federal budgets go, this one is definitely one to remember, or possibly forget, depending on your individual circumstances. Tuesday night’s unveiling of Joe Hockey’s first budget is only the beginning of what’s likely to be a tumultuous few months in Canberra as the back room talks and negotiations begin in an effort to push as much of the budget reforms through as possible. That’s going to be a difficult process, but it is one that governments who face a hostile senate expect each and every year. A couple of months ago when the idea of a $7 copayment fee to visit the doctor was first mooted, I agreed with the idea, and I still do, but it must be noted my circumstances are very different to a lot of others. The scheme does not look like getting the support it needs to become a reality, but

if the co-payment was to be means tested, its opponents would almost have to concede. There are undoubtedly some very harsh measures in this budget, and it seems Mr Hockey would prefer to shock Australians and the economy into action, rather than gradu-

blueprint that still manages to balance the books. I think the government should reserve the right to extend the debt levy on incomes over $180,000 beyond the proposed three years if the budget recovery lags, especially given the changes to welfare will last a lot longer.

It believes it has a huge job to do and needs to take such drastic actions ally work our nation into a better financial position than it’s currently in. The proposed changes around access to welfare payments such as Newstart, Youth Allowance, the Aged Pension and some disability pensions will likely face strong opposition from large sections of the community, and the federal opposition, who face their own set of challenges in putting forward an alternative

For its part, the government points out it hasn’t chosen this path of action to win support, rather it believes it has a huge job to do and needs to take such drastic actions in order to achieve its ambitions. Ambitions it believes, will deliver greater prosperity and living standards to future generations. twitter@peterkennedy23 pk@bendigoweekly.com.au

Sharing the workload

dear dotty...

Fixing the beaut ute was only the start of the day’s issues for Steve in the search for marital peace

T

HE long-suffering Mrs Kendall surpassed herself last week, and I am truly under the thumb. The lady of the house was on a rare day off, and I asked her to pick up a prescription for me when she went into town. All was going well as I stepped out the door to go to work. “Can you put the battery back in the ute?” Mrs K said. Now I was running a bit late, but seeing the value in a wood-collecting vehicle with Mrs K on a day off, I started the struggle with the battery. Car batteries in old vehicles are buggers. Every which way you try to get a spanner on a nut you drop something, and that day was going to be no different. You would have thought after all this time it would be simpler. Cold morning, cold spanner, oily and skinned hands. But after 10 minutes or so the battery was in. Unusually for me, only my hands were dirty, the usual trick is to cover myself in whatever I am working on.

Anyway, after a swift trip to work along the back road via Lake Eppalock, I struggled into the office. Later on Mrs K phoned, and said she couldn’t get my prescription. I thought I had traded the deal for the ute battery, but apparently not. The real clincher to the event was Mrs K mentioning that while I was in town, could I pick up the post, some meat for tea, and a prescription for her. I had been trapped. No doubt Mrs K was sitting at home eating biscuits and

drinking tea while I was hard at work I thought. I started to question my orders, and was swiftly brought into line. It seemed Mrs K had not been drinking tea all morning, but had been cleaning the house. “I want to talk to you about your shower,” she said with some menace. “What have you been doing in there?” I was careful not to be too flippant, sensing a trap, but apparently it was a bit grimy. I quickly changed the

subject, finished the call and went back to teasing Scoop in the office. Far safer in the long run than daring to mess with the long-suffering. I arrived home to find Mrs K had not had time to use the ute anyway. My trade off with my wife had come to nothing, and what’s more, she said as I was at home, would I mind going out and getting some wood for the fire. “The battery’s back in the ute,” Mrs K said, without even a smile.

Dear Dotty, Can you please explain to me why beetroot is so misunderstood? I can’t for the life of me fathom why people have such a strong love/hate relationship with it. Nor why a very large multinational fast food outlet specialising in making sandwiches doesn’t offer it as a filling? Surely beetroot is as Australian as lamb, or Vegemite, or even a shrimp on the barbie? Perhaps Bendigo could become the beetroot capital of the world given our excellent soils. Bugger the Big Nugget, how about Bendigo’s Big Beetroot lofted atop of the fountain, which would be a great thing to see as one careens down View St. BR Oot, Kangaroo Flat Dear BR Oot, I heartily concur with your sentiments. Why when I was a gal every summer salad consisted of a slices of tinned beetroot along with the lettuce and tomatoes. Sandwiches were filled with them, which made for a deep red, soggy mess at lunchtime. Which is probably why the fast food outlet you refer to doesn’t have it on the

They roast it whole, would you believe, and sprinkle it with feta cheese; not the same thing at all as a few slices of the old Golden Circle. Note from the editor Dotty was supposed to finish her column but there was nothing in the in box. We finally cracked and rang her a few hours before her deadline but couldn’t find her anywhere. We sent the work experience boy out on a search party and he found her fast asleep on a padded bench in one of Bendigo’s more salubrious restaurants. As Dotty pointed out it is quite easy to get overlooked on one of these benches. She said she was having a nap and would file on time but she was clearly unwell. Twitter: @DearDotty

new feel for garden

THE Bendigo Special Developmental School has added a new element to its education format with the opening of a sensory garden. The garden has been built to meet the sensory needs of the students in the school and to support and add to the classroom programs. The school scheduled this to coincide with World Autism Day and all staff and students in the school dressed in blue to show support for the day. The opening included a ceremony in the garden for the cutting of the ribbon which was followed by a whole school barbecue. Classroom teacher Kirsty Phillips said the school has built the garden with donations and volunteers’ time and it is an essential part of the students learning needs. “The garden has been designed by Damien Pearce who is a former teacher at the school who now specialises in designing sensory gardens,� Ms Phillips said. “It also highlights the need for

It’s certainly very humbling that Will, Kylie and Joel all turned around.” John said he had the connection and warmth growing up with Kylie’s music being in the household and that’s why he chose her as his coach. “I felt drawn to her as if I’d known her for a long time – like she was already a friend in a way,” he said “It’s pretty incredible for an artist to be capable of connecting with such a massive audience on a personal level.”

ANY people know that this is the name of a hotel in Bendigo. Brian Boru is generally regarded as the greatest of the historical high kings of Ireland, although he was not the last such high king. His fame lies in the fact that he united the Irish, in itself a difficult task, fostered learning and culture, and led the united Irish to inflict a crushing defeat on the Vikings who had terrorised Ireland for a few centuries. This year is the 1000th anniversary of Brian Boru’s victory over the Vikings at the Battle of Clontarf in Dublin, a battle in which King

Brian himself was killed. It is of course being widely celebrated in Ireland and elsewhere. The Central Victorian Irish Assocation is presenting a King Brian Boru 1000th Anniversary Commemoration at, not unsurprisingly, the Brian Boru Hotel, corner of Chapel Street and McIvor Road, Bendigo, on Sunday, May 18 at 1.30 pm, for a 2pm start. The life of Brian Boru will be recounted in narrative, music on the harp and bodhran, poetry, story telling and song, all performed by a host of talented performers. Entry is by gold coin donation.

Local food industry insider with Marika McMahon

Spoilt for choice I

AM a bit embarrassed to admit that when driving home along Williamson Street the other night I realised that it is now over a year since I last went to The Woodhouse. On a cold and dark May evening, there was a warm glow emanating from there, perfect weather for one of Paul Pitcher’s beautiful steaks which must be followed by one of their desserts which are big treats. Must go back soon. Pondering that made me realise there are many other Bendigo eateries for which there are just not enough hours in the day or meals in the week for me to get to. Despite conversing almost daily on various forms of social media with Bendigo food and beer legend from The

Goldmines, Justin McPhail, we have not been there enough. Must make a booking for a cosy Friday night and head there after the excitement of Under 10 basketball. That might make it easier to avoid the best chips in Bendigo, Mary’s chips from the Bendigo Stadium canteen. I hear a lot of people raving about the great traditional pub meals that Brad and Sheridan Warren are serving up at The Whitehorse Hotel. They have a great schedule of “meal deals� each night of the week – I’m struggling to choose whether we head out Eaglehawk Road for the parmy or burger night. To me, a Friday night around the Teppanyaki Grill at My Teppanyaki is one

of the best ways to wind down from the week. Must pencil that in the diary as well. I’ve discovered one of the best ways to keep in the loop of what are the new and great places to eat in Bendigo is to befriend a few local doctors on Facebook. It was through such connections I discovered the new Indian place in town, Food O’Clock, in Mollison Street. Great Indian food and so fresh. Must have it again. The others on my list – Buchon, Sangria in Victoria Lane, I really need to have again the Royal Thai Yellow Curry from Rocks on Rosalind, and visit the Willow Room in Heathcote. We really are spoilt for choice.

A. Marmalade is great to make this time of year as there is an abundance of citrus available. Slice the citrus into thin slices, discarding any pips. Cover with cold water and add a good pinch of salt. Bring this to the boil then turn off and leave to sit overnight. When adding the sugar to cook out the marmalade heat it in the oven first. This allows the sugar to dissolve instantly and speeds up the cooking process so you end up with a fresh, bright marmalade rather than a dark, toffee coloured marmalade.

A. There are a lot of different types of apples available and their flavour and texture can be quite different. For cooking purposes, especially sweet dishes, I would use a Stewart Seedling apple. This medium-sized apple has a great balance of flavour and tartness and good firm texture that cooks out well. I prefer to use a more sharp, crisp apple like a Granny Smith for eating raw in a salad.

Q. What Italian grape varieties are grown around Bendigo and Heathcote? A. We have an upcoming wine event at Willow Room that is showcasing Italian grape varietals grown in our own back yard and the interest has been fantastic. Many Italian grape varieties are grown locally including Vermentino, Fiano, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Nero D’Avola to name a few. The soil and terrain of the area is good territory for growing Italian grape varieties.

Big hug has a message Friendship is Like a Seesaw Life is Like the Wind Author: Shona Innes Illustrator: Ă?risz AgĂłcs Published by The Five Mile Press, an imprint of Bonnier Publishing Group RRP $14.95 each

I

F you are a parent or teacher struggling to guide a child through difficult emotional territory, then Shona Innes’s new ‘Big Hug’ series of picture books will be invaluable. The first, Friendship is Like a Seesaw, is about the ups and downs of personal relationships, covering what it means to be a friend, how friends should treat each other, how they can hurt each other, how to heal a broken friendship and what to do if you can’t. The second, Life is Like the Wind, explores life and death and is appropriate whether the child is dealing with the death of a family member, friend or beloved pet. It explains the concepts of life and death beautifully, covers

Menu Changes Daily!

grief and loss and takes a nondenominational approach to what happens after death, explaining that people hold different beliefs and outlining in general terms what some of those beliefs are. Innes pins down abstract concepts using simple, direct language that is never childish or patronising. There is also a note for parents and teachers included at the back of each book, with tips, guidelines and common pitfalls to avoid when discussing these concepts with your child. �risz Agócs’s watercolour and pencil illustrations deftly expand and clarify each idea and their gentleness keeps everything age appropriate, softening the difficult issues. A qualified clinical and forensic psychologist, Innes has more than 25 years’ experience helping children and parents

navigate various emotional issues. She recognises that often parents don’t know how to talk to their children about death or relationship problems, especially when having to deal with their own emotions as well. Those at a loss will find the “Big Hug� series a valuable jumping off point, a way to help them and their children start talking about these difficult issues in a gentle, accessible and unthreatening way.

MOTHER’S DAY CLASSIC

Reflections in pink THE Mother’s Day Classic was all about taking part. It’s been a year in the making and went off without an apparent hitch. A record number took part, thousands of dollars were raised, and Bendigonians flocked to support the cause.

There was a tinge of sadness to the event as those affected by breast cancer took time to reflect on those loved and lost, but all-in-all the day was a celebration of people coming together to help others.

discover bendigo with James Lerk

Victims of the axe R

OBERT Ross Haverfield, a Bendigo pioneer who in fact had seen the area before the discovery of gold in 1851, described the valley as follows: The flats, carpeted with green grass, were dotted here and there with comely and shady gum trees, while the creek banks, shaded with wattle, sloped down to a chain of water holes, which, in the spring and winter seasons, and indeed all the year round, before the gold era, contained a good supply of good clean water. Down about the now desolate looking Epsom, the valley wore a really picturesque appearance; the gum trees were very fine, and the wattle flourished luxuriantly. The able Bendigo Historian George Mackay, whose History of Bendigo, published in October 1891 shed further insight into the rapid changes to the landscape which occurred as a direct result of the gold rush. Mackay wrote: The valley of Bendigo was changed as if by magic, and after the winter of 1852 almost all natural beauty that Bendigo had possessed had disappeared, and ‘Ichabod’ had been written on its sadly mutilated face… The continuous ring of axes on the butts of trees… soon however the transfor-

mation of earth and clay, reduced to an impalpable powder, lay… about ankle deep at the least slightest puff of wind raised it in blinding clouds. Mackay observed: Whole forests of great ironbark trees, with the dense underwood growing among them, quickly disappeared. It may be difficult for many to believe that the forest between the First White Hill (just off Pickford Street) and our railway station, and, indeed up to Golden Gully, was so thick and dark that people often lost their way in attempting to get through it, from any one of the points made to the another. Hundreds of thousands of trees were cut down to secure every bit of space in order to look for the elusive metal of Midas. More trees were sacrificed to the open fires lit outside the tents so that cooking could be done and in the colder weather to supply heat in the idle evening hours. With the start of the puddling phase of gold extraction, more trees had to be felled as the puddling machine was lined with split timber on its base, as well as the sides of the annular circle shape depression. There are instances recorded where a large tree

was felled just to make a fire for domestic purposes. The thought running through many people’s minds at the time was that there was an inexhaustible supply of timber, trees were felled, “just for the fun of it”. As soon as steam engines were being introduced, the boilers needed fuel so more trees were sacrificed. By the 1870s there were hundreds of steam engines, some were small but there were a good percentage that were much larger, requiring more fuel in the form of wood. The wood carters were an army scouring the forests close at hand in order to meet the growing demand of this fuel.

Log constructed buildings were another demand for the trees of this area, an excellent surviving example is the log lock up at Eaglehawk. There were logconstructed buildings on the Government Camp on Camp Hill, also there were individuals who used the same means of building their own dwellings and some years ago in this series I mentioned the Sinclair family off Creeth Street, Long Gully, who did precisely that. Brick making, which started around 1854 in Bendigo, as there was an abundance of suitable clay, but again needing wood to fuel the kilns. The brick manufacturers had to have a good

stack of wood at hand to create the necessary temperature in order to supply a good quality product. A wood stack was a valuable commodity, especially a large one where the wood had a chance to dry, so burning more efficiently and thus producing far more heat. Bendigo also had Chinese brick makers who had constructed a kiln like those back home in southern China. These brick makers had a large stack of firewood on hand, for the firing of their kiln. However a deliberate act of incendiarism reduced this valuable stack of wood to smouldering ashes.

A

T dawn and dusk Bendigo’s heritage structures throw fascinating silhouettes on the city’s skyline. The most recognisable and symbolic silhouettes are the city’s poppetheads, each a reminder of Bendigo’s rich mining history. Four of the city’s poppet heads are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register but all of the Bendigo’s poppet heads contribute to our mining story. The Deborah Company Quartz Goldmine poppethead in Abel Street, one of the four on the register, was one of Bendigo’s (and Victoria’s) most successful mines during the 1930s mining revival. Sadly, it is now one of the most in need of repair. Its huge top wheels, an essential feature of any poppet head, are in safekeeping. But engineering works funded and managed by the City of Greater Bendigo will be undertaken later this year to make it safe. This will involve temporary removal and storage of the timber skyshaft until funding for restoration becomes available. – Megan McDougall

Dr Jackson is visiting Bendigo for one evening lecture and a full day workshop in Bendigo next week, explaining

this concept, and how it is related to another important well-being phenomenon called mindfulness. “Flow and mindfulness are integral factors associated with the achievement of optimal performance, whether in sport, at leisure, in artistic pursuits, in business, and much more,� she said. “If you want to learn to be more present in your performance, and to maximise your chances for success, come and hear me talk about getting into flow.� Details are provided elsewhere in this newspaper.

ARE Beyond Measure, a locally-based organisation provides services supporting people to live safely and independently within the community. “We assist the aged and people with disabilities,� managing director Sam Tayeh said. “We provide support and assistance for clients with high level behaviour conditions. “We give people back their ability to participate in the community.� CBM is organising a community forum so interested parties can be informed of changes in the aged and disability sectors. Support package recipients now have greater choices in selecting their support service providers. “We are delighted to have families share their stories and local figure heads in the industry provide important information about changes to the management of packages that families receive,� Mr Tayeh said. Key areas to be addressed by the speakers include informing support package recipients about the most recent changes that gives them more choice and providing information about the best way to exercise that choice with current service providers. The Forum is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18 at 5.30pm at the Capital Theatre in View Street Bendigo. For more information phone the Care Team on 5444 5662.

OHN Cannon suffered from lower back pain for many years seeking many forms of treatment with no success. A physiotherapy session at St John of God Hospital had John undergoing hands-on treatment which included joint mobilisation and soft tissue release. Once the acute pain settled, John was referred to hydrotherapy at St John of God, and then to a gym program also at the hospital. The gym program included core stability

exercises, stretching, strengthening, posture awareness and education. “I love gardening but before Christmas, I couldn’t garden without making my lower back pain worse,� John said. “Since coming to the St John of God physiotherapy department for rehab, I can now garden with no pain at all. “Plus, I’ve lost weight, I’m fitter and overall I’m feeling much healthier.� John is grateful for his successful outcome and hopes he can motivate others to seek the correct

treatment and take control of their pain. “Don’t let age be a barrier to you – get out there and get active!� John said. You do not need to have been a patient at St John of God Hospital to use the Allied Health services, including physiotherapy and hydrotherapy.

There are chiropractors on staff, Dr Hamish Davidson and Dr Bec Leddin. “We practice a range of techniques to cater for our diverse range of clients on an individual level,” Dr Davidson said. “Many people come in

or just feeling a little bit flatter than usual,” he said. “Many look to chiropractic as another means to help support their immune system during the change of seasons. “Regardless of your reason for visiting us in Bendigo or Charlton, we look forward to meeting you.” City Chiropractic Care 233 Napier Street, Bendigo.

EAL-A-FRIDGE Bendigo is under new management and is eager to help. Mary and Mark James provide a mobile service, so they are able to come to you to fix problems you have with cold appliances. Whether it be a commercial cool room, or a domestic or caravan fridge, Seal-aFridge North Vic is the company to call. “People may not realise a poor seal adds to the running cost of your appliances,� Mrs James said. “It may just be a split or a tear. This

means your compressor has to work longer because of the warm air getting in. This of course means you are using more electricity. “You should look for gaps in the seal, or discolouration which may even cause poor door alignment. Warm air will get in, your fridge will be less efficient, and cost more to run.� So, fix the problem with Seal-a-Fridge’s mobile service, and give them a call now on 0408 883 715, and chill your food, not the room.

Royal victory for top flight Dragons

By JOEL PETERSON

HIS side recorded its first Gridiron Victoria division one win at the weekend, but Bendigo Dragons coach Robert Hunter is not getting carried away two weeks into the season. The Dragons took down the Melbourne Uni Royals 24-6 at the weekend, after going down to Croydon in week one of the season. The Dragons made the decision to step up to the top flight after its first season, and adding some experienced players has helped its cause early on, according to Hunter. “I was most impressed with the team playing as one unit, which is starting to happen,” he said. “People forget that last year we only had rookies, with the exception of one player. The inclusion of some overseas experienced players has really helped the team, both on and off the field.” With players such as running back Callum Kirkpatrick and quarterback Noah Sims as the focal points of the offence, the Dragons are continuing to build on that side of the ball, and Hunter has seen improvements on defence as well. He said his focus was not on individuals, but how every player operates within the team’s game plan. “With the manner in which our game is played, one player might excel in his position due to the ef-

Probert clocks up 200

WINNING WAYS: Dragons took their first win. Photo: JOHN TORCASIO forts of others in their positions,” Hunter said. “The defense is becoming a more cohesive unit, and our offense is still coming together.” The second-year coach still believes there is plenty of work to do, especially on special teams. “We have a huge area in which we can still improve,” Hunter said. “Special teams is one example, in areas like kick returning and punt returning. I believe that if all the players on these units were to complete their tasks on the play, we would be able to start getting some

bonus touchdowns.” This week the Dragons face a huge task in taking on two-time reigning division one champions Monash at Sydney Pargeter Reserve in Endeavour Hills. Hunter is tempering expectations ahead of the clash, but is urging his players to run the game out. “It would be a silly coach that talks about just beating the division one champions of the past two years,” Hunter said. “My targets for the team this week are to show that we are competitive, that we will not back down

from any opponent and that we play until the final whistle. “There were too many times last year where the players lost intensity, but those players who have made

the cut through to this year have shown that they are not only here to play, but also to win.” The Dragons take on the Warriors from 10.30am on Sunday.

STAYER: Kevin Probert will play game 200 this weekend. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

BENDIGO Bank Braves guard Kevin Probert will play his 200th game for the club on Saturday when the Braves host Knox at Bendigo Stadium. The Braves split a tough weekend last week, going down to Albury-Wodonga on Saturday night after defeating the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence squad on Friday night.

It is a huge honour and something I am proud of Probert and the Braves will have to bounce back in a big way, despite Knox’s 2-8 record. “We split what was a tough double heading to Albury in what was their first game of the weekend. We were in positions to win the game but unfortunately fell short,” Probert said. “It is important for us to keep the pressure on the teams above us, because we want a top-two finish.”

CLOSE UP: Students have ball time with their AFL heroes. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

A memorable day of footy From Page 48 Probert joins several club legends in the 200 club, including current teammates Chris Hogan (310 games) and Taylor Bell (260) who have also reached the milestone. “It is a huge honour and something I am proud of,” he said. “To join current team mates Chris Hogan and Taylor Bell and past team mates Pat Jennings and Warren Randall is a great feeling. “Also club legends Justin Cass and David Flint have played over 200 games.” Bell, Hogan and Prob-

ert have been mainstays in the Braves side for a long time, with Probert playing each of his 200 games with one or both of the Bendigo duo. “I have played every one of my games with either Taylor or Hoges so it will be wonderful to play my 200th with them. It seems to have come along really quickly,” Probert said. “I am really excited to have all my family there in support as well.” The Champions IGA Lady Braves will also take on Knox from 6pm on Saturday, while the men’s clash tips off at 8pm.

The pair ran a footy clinic with students and were among Bulldogs players visiting 11 schools around Bendigo. Eaglehawk’s Jake Stringer and Maryborough’s Stewart Crameri were also in town, working with the students at Lockwood South PS before speaking at a youth forum. AFL Central Victoria relaunched the 10-week Auskick program for season 2014 this week, with Griffen and Darley on hand to get some future stars on board. For Darley, who moved to Whitten Oval after being drafted by Greater Western Sydney, Auskick is a pro-

gram that has had a big impact on his career “I started playing when I was four, you meet a whole new range of friends outside your school and you get to do something you love, so it has a number of benefits,” he said. “It’s a real outlet for the kids, to get out of the classroom or off the couch and make some new friends as well as learn new skills and a new game. “That is beneficial not only for the kids but for our game as well.” This year, AFLCV have initiated extra sessions for Auskick coaches to further educate them on the program and skills involved. “We have recognised that there is an opportu-

nity to improve the Auskick program that has for years provided a wonderful entry point into our great Australian game,” AFLCV region general manager Paul Hamilton said. “The program is a wonderful community experience that both the kids and the parents can participate in and enjoy. “It’s all about teaching the next generation of footballers the skills that they will require to play the game, whilst making it as easy as possible for the parents who are an integral part of Auskick.” The 10-week Auskick program costs $70.

Instead of chasing backto-back nrs wins, Haig is using the race as a lead in to this year’s tour Of Korea, with even bigger things on the horizon. the 20-year-old, who won the best young rider’s white jersey at this year’s tour Down Under, will race the latter half of the season with the U23 Jayco-AIs World tour Academy in some of europe’s biggest races. the Avanti racing team star landed in Queensland this week for the BOtB, but did not necessarily have victory in his sights. “I’m pretty happy with

where I am at. I’m hoping I continue on an upward trajectory through the next few races,” Haig said this week. “there is a busy block from now with this weekend, the tour of toowoomba and then I fly to Korea, and I’m aiming I guess to be hitting my peak then.” the added road commitments has meant Haig had to forgo his plan of representing Australia at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games this year on his mountain bike, a discipline in which he is a former national champion. “It’s disappointing but as long as I own a mountain bike I’ll keep riding it because it’s how I got my start and I really enjoy it,” he said. “I think long term focusing on some of these opportunities on the road is better, and I’m going to definitely put my all into riding on the road.” Haig will go from Korea to

Defensive role works for gun

tHe Bendigo Gold has been forced to move its round 11 Victorian Football League clash from echuca to the QeO, due to concerns about facilities. the Gold was scheduled to play northern Blues in echuca on sunday June 22, however the game has been rescheduled to be played at the Queen elizabeth Oval.

Most likely the ground will not meet standards Club chairman tim Dickson said this week in a statement both clubs had concerns about the facilities at Victoria Park. “the rescheduling has resulted due to concerns between the Bendigo Football Club and the echuca Football Club on Victoria Park meeting the criteria set down by AFL Victoria in relation to ground and facilities,” Dickson said. “the management and condition

Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN of the ground is great for local football, however the increased expectations for VFL football mean that potentially and most likely the ground will not meet standards without significant investment and re-scheduling of lead up games.” Dickson said the club still hopes to take games to echuca in the future. “Bendigo Football Club is commit-

ted to taking VFL to regions which are vitally important to its pathways, and there are hopes in the future a VFL game will be played in echuca.” the Gold will still play against north Ballarat in swan Hill on May 25. the winless Bendigo side travels to Victoria Park in Collingwood on saturday to take on the eighth-placed Magpies.

Western Bulldogs captain ryan Griffen said young gun Jake stringer is meeting expectations in his second AFL season, after switching to a new defensive role in the past few weeks. stringer, recruited from the Bendigo Pioneers via eaglehawk with the number five pick in the 2012 AFL Draft, has played 18 games with the Dogs while battling niggling injuries. He suffered a horror break of his leg in 2011 but returned in 2012, and is continuing to develop according to his skipper. “the best thing about Jake is that he can play anywhere, he is a special talent,” Griffen said while visiting st Monica’s primary school in Kangaroo Flat this week. “He has been playing a more defensive sort of a role which he is suited to and if we need him to swing forward he can.” stringer is listed as

192cm and 91kg, and has the ability to play forward, in the midfield, and is now showing an extra defensive side to his game. the 20-year-old gathered a career-high 18 disposals and took five marks in the Bulldogs’ narrow round seven loss to essendon, playing mostly across half back, and is averaging 16.4 disposals in his last five games. Griffen says he is continuing to develop, and has met every expectation that coach Brendan McCartney and the side have had of him. “the big bodied guys like Jake do take longer to develop, and to start. the expectation from us was to come in and train hard, which he has, and to improve every week which he has done as well,” Griffen said. “they were the only real expectations we had on him coming in, and he has certainly met those.”

Dragons on a high

HIGH LIFE: Western Bulldogs players Sam Darley and Ryan Griffen with St Monica’s Primary school student Eloise Conroy. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

By JOEL PETERSON

MAKE no mistake about it, the Sandhurst Dragons are flying in season 2014. Undefeated, and on top of the ladder, coming off two successive wins upwards of 100 points _ and almost with a full list to pick from – it is seemingly a dream scenario. However, first-year Dragons coach Brett Fitzpatrick is keeping a lid on things, especially ahead of hosting the Bendigo Football Netball League’s other undefeated side in Gisborne this Saturday. “We have been playing some good footy which has been pleasing, but I don’t expect our guys to really be at their peak until the second half of the season,” Fitzpatrick said this week. “With the game plan we have put in place, the guys are still getting used to that and making it a part of the way they go about their footy routinely, and I think their best is still to come later in the

A memorable day of footy SCHOOL children around Bendigo learnt the tricks of the AFL trade from several Western Bulldogs players eho visited the region this week. Bulldogs captain Ryan Griffen and

year.” The Rod Sharp-led Dogs are going about things in a somewhat different fashion, contrasting Sandhurst’s silky ball movement with the trademark Gisborne relentless tackling pressure and youthful exuberance. Gisborne has blooded 11 senior debutants this year, including nine under-18 eligible players. Both sides are packed with pace, and with the league’s best two ruckmen Tim Martin and Tom Waters doing battle and hard nuts Ollie Messaoudi and Blair Holmes at their feet, there are intriguing matchups all over the ground. “That midfield matchup will be great, and I’d say will have a fair impact on the game,” Fitzpatrick said. “They obviously have good height in Waters, Ollie Messaoudi is a great player, and their perimeter players move the ball swiftly. “Then they have the

likes of Tim Walsh down back and Matt Knox up forward, so they are a well-rounded side. “We’ll put things in place to hopefully capitalise on a few advantages we may have, but they are undefeated for a reason.” Unless the match finishes with a draw, only one side will be undefeated after round seven and similarly only one side will remain winless. Ninth-placed South Bendigo travels to Princes Park to face bottom-ofthe-table Maryborough, with both sides yet to get on the winners’ list. Maryborough has been impressive in multiple games this season in patches, while South Bendigo pushed Golden Square to within a point in round two Kangaroo Flat tackles Strathfieldsaye, Kyneton hosts Castlemaine and on Sunday Golden Square is at home to Eaglehawk in the other round seven games.

A range of learning

Kelly Baines says BTEC is an educational pathway

BenDiGo technical education College is a unique learning environment, specifically designed for students 15 to 19 years-of-age, who have not yet completed their senior years of secondary school. the BteC model provides students with a range of learning outcomes through experiencing a huge variety of diverse environments including workplaces, community projects, fund-raising and conservation which explores and expands the students’ ideas, work and further study options. “this learning model promotes self-respect and pride, as well as contributes to the students’ families, community and future employers,” BteC manager Kellie Baines said. “students are provided opportunities to develop leadership skills while completing VCAL.” BteC advocates a supported approach on work experience as a pathway to employment or further training. the college has strong industry links and relationships with employers whereby they approach the college to fill apprenticeship, traineeship or work experience vacancies across this region. An industry liaison team assists students in their search for employment opportunities and are on hand to discuss employment options while instilling self-confidence and preparing students for future employment. “BteC is proud to offer this educational pathway and of the relationship it has with local industry and employers,” Ms Baines said. “We are a small campus, with approximately 200 students and small class sizes providing a safe and supportive environment with staff who are passionate about working with young adults and dedicated to helping them achieve their goals.”

Service for preschools LODDON Mallee Preschool Association is a provider of preschool services in the Bendigo region managing 15 preschools in addition to five preschools in the Swan Hill district and a further four in the Campaspe Shire. LMPA’s office, based in Bendigo also manages the enrolment system for the Bendigo and Swan Hill regions, along with Supplementary Recurrent Assistance for indigenous children for services across the Loddon Mallee region. “We aim to make kindergarten available to as many children and communities as possible we also see the need to support smaller communities,” chief executive officer Phil Hocking said. “Small communities often have difficulty funding a kindergarten program due to low numbers.” Unfortunately the introduction of 15 hours of preschool for all kindergarten children this year has resulted in the loss of places for 3-year prekindergarten children. However LMPA have with Bendigo Community Health established a new

prekindergarten program at the Helm Street Kangaroo Flat, Health Centre creating 18 new 3-year places for children. “Last year Spring Gully Preschool started a trial for Bush kindergarten which has been a great success,” Mr Hocking said. “Bush kindergarten reconnects children with the natural environment giving them the opportunity to experience, appreciate and enjoy a bush setting. “The program has generated an enormous amount of interest with many other preschools looking into the program and the benefits it offers. “Across all of our centres the commitment of our staff often goes unrecognised, but parents can feel confident knowing, that we have such a caring and professional group ready to receive their children. Enrolment forms can be downloaded off at their website www.lmpa.org.au or at their soon to be vacant offices at 141 Williamson Street. Alternatively call into Loddon Mallee Preschool Association new address at 10a Merino Court East Bendigo from May 26.

Tutor Phil Tune from Monash School of Rural Health

Retaining rural doctors MONASH University has for more than 20 years trained medical students in Bendigo. It is generally recognised that if you train medical students in rural and regional areas they’re more likely to return to practise there. Bendigo is one of the places they study explained School of Rural Health Bendigo director, Geoff Solarsh. “At any time, around 100 students from both Monash and the University of Melbourne are based with us in Bendigo and surrounding areas, in the hospital or with local health services. We’ve probably trained at least 1500 students in the last 20 years.” Partnerships with hospitals and local doctors are vital. “Clinical training and face-to-face dealings with patients are only possible because highly skilled local practitioners have committed to teaching the next generation of doctors,” Professor Solarsh said.

“If you go to see a doctor or visit a hospital anywhere between Swan Hill and Gisborne, you’re likely to meet a Monash student learning from local doctors. “Students often say that the small groups in rural and regional towns give them a better chance for hands-on training than being part of a large city cohort. And that makes them much more confident graduates.” Monash makes a special effort to recruit students from north-west Victoria for the program, giving students a chance to study medicine close to home, with a number of interns returning to work at the hospital. “What we’d like to see now are more opportunities for our medical graduates to continue their training in rural and regional areas,” Professor Solarsh said. “That would go a long way to ensuring we don’t lose them to the major cities.”

Since 1993, Monash University has trained medical students in clinical skills right here in Bendigo. Our partners include Bendigo Healthcare Group, and local GPs and health services. Together we give students unparalleled opportunities for the sort of hands-on training that’s hard to get in major cities. Fostering the next generation of rural doctors.

Personalised learning

BENDIGO South East College was designed and built to provide a space to make personalised learning possible. Now in its sixth year as a ‘new’ school, BSE’s results are a clear indication that open, flexible spaces, where teachers co-teach, help students excel. “It is incredibly rewarding to go into a classroom with 75 students and three teachers and see the personalised

programs with technology being used to support learning,” principal Ernie Fleming said. “With teachers working together and students collaborating and embracing the opportunity while taking responsibility for their learning. “The physical environment has a large role to play in the learning going on in the classroom.

Quality Education in a Rura l Environm ent

“These spaces see the student at the centre of the learning. “The buildings have been described as “finished beginnings” and “permanent, but incomplete”, where the learner can truly contribute to and interact within the spaces.” BSE’s approach centres around teaching students how to be good at learning, not how to go through the motions of the education system.

“The plan wasn’t to provide new buildings, it was to provide an iconic way of doing it better,” Mr Fleming said. The personalised, online learning program, developed by the college, BSE Virtual, is also a critical part of supporting the personalised approach. “The College’s success at VCE is an external verification that the approach works for students.”

Being small we can lift kids that need a hand and stretch those that are academically above the required level.” Eppalock Primary School located five minutes’ drive from Strathfieldsaye, also hosts the Axe Creek Community Playgroup. “The playgroup is an extension of our community relationship and provides a

leadership opportunity for students,” Mrs ryan said. “It’s held twice a week and our older students organise and run everything. It is a practical development activity”. Leadership development is not the only co-curricular activity at Eppalock. Eppalock Primary School’s website www. eppalockps.vic.edu.au displays a timetable with explicit literacy and numeracy daily as well as drama, art, clubs, Living Green (environmental program), Chinese, physical education and regular inter-school sports. “The school is highly regarded because we support students to accept responsibility for their own learning, develop self-discipline and pursue excellence,” Mrs ryan said. “Our welfare and values program is about developing well-adjusted, responsible and self-reliant students. We want our students to be happy, to know that ‘kids matter’ and to be the best that they can be.”

Gonski a must says MP Education Week is a great time to look towards the future of our schooling system. Education is the key to change. it can open doors, expand opportunities and break cycles of disadvantage and welfare dependency. We know that our future prosperity as a nation rests on having world class schools that give every child a great education. the most comprehensive review of our school system in 40 years, the Gonski review, identified these problems. But it also gave us the solutions. Labor acted to put those solutions in place, so that every student in every school could get a great education through more individual attention for every student. Labor’s Gonski reforms are not just about money. they will boost literacy, numeracy and equity through real changes in every classroom. it’s vital that tony abbott and the Liberal

Government honour their promise before the election to uphold the Gonski reforms. only by delivering on all five key reforms and six years of funding of Gonski will we see improvement in results and a narrowing of the gap between the most advantaged and disadvantaged students. nothing less will do. at the minute, the funding for the fifth and sixth years of the Gonski reforms is under threat. that means $88 million in the Bendigo electorate is at stake – $88 million that the government promised before the election to be put towards your children’s education. i will continue to stand up for central Victoria’s schools at Parliament – our children’s education is too important not to. Lisa Chesters MP Member for Bendigo, Victoria.

SOARING: Mathew Young (front), Rod Shearer and Greg Free from Bendigo Aircraft Maintenance.

Flying high with CVGT aircraft maintenance apprentice Matthew Young is reaching for the sky. Work experience allowed Matthew to try a career he was passionate about and gain an apprenticeship to help him achieve his dream of a career in the aircraft maintenance industry. When cVGt australia’s Greg free was approached by a local secondary school to assist a student with a passion for aviation, he knew he was in for a challenge. Greg investigated the options around the region, and found rod Shearer of

Bendigo aircraft Maintenance who was very enthusiastic about having a student undertake work experience with him. Matthew started his placement where he worked one day a week over seven weeks. at the end of the seven weeks, rod asked how cVGt australia could help him make Matthew his first apprentice. Matthew was employed through cVGt australia’s group training service, where cVGt australia manages all the administration and payroll and rod can concentrate on helping Matthew learn his trade.

Meeting students’ needs Spring gully primary School has been an integral cornerstone of the Spring gully community since 1906, and along with recent improvements, is well prepared to meet the needs for education for today’s children well into the future. Spring gully is home to 340 students just five kilometres from central Bendigo with close proximity to bush-land, reserves, sporting ovals, tennis courts, bike and bushland trails. principal Francis Trezise and his staff strive for superior academic standards while offering specialist programs in library, art, music, physical education and LOTE german. “We aim to provide a challenging, inclusive and safe learning environment for all our students,” Mr Trezise said.

To further enhance the learning environment, a comprehensive Landscape Strategy has recently been developed and partially implemented after extensive consultation with all stake-holders, including the students which focusses on both the climate and environment. recent improvements include a synthetic playing field, new sand-pits, raised garden beds and occasional seating. “This will complement our new classrooms perfectly and help take learning outside when required for the benefit of all.” Spring gully has experienced record prep enrolments during the last two years and these new and improved facilities will prove beneficial to students’ primary schooling.

The support to explore in the Junior School playground at girton there is a cubby house fashioned out of a plastic water tank on a timber platform surrounded by a handrail with windows at head height for smaller children, from which to view school friends and the world below. The cubby can be a castle, a fort, a home, a cave or a hiding spot. it’s a busy and much loved part of the playground and has been for many years. Like the cubby house, girton is a place for students to make of it what they want. girton provides the venue, the opportunities, the rules, the guidance and the support to explore their talents. For some this means developing abilities which are already evident. For others it involves the search for hidden talents, and reaping the benefits that can come from a targeted and supportive approach to academic and social development.

Lockwood South

recently girton opened a new building comprising science classrooms, a careers centre and a senior library on the top floor overlooking Vine Street with a view to rival that from the cubby house. it is in spaces such as these that girton actively encourages students to explore their options, develop their talents and grow in confidence, responsibility and vision. girton is home to students who are there by choice, creating a critical mass of positive minded young people who support each other in their academic and social development. Students have a range of options letting them explore their expanding world and develop an understanding of how they can best contribute to it in a positive and meaningful way.

A solid grounding for the rest of their lives are successful. “We need a genuine partnership to help our young people get the best out of themselves,” BSSc principal dale Pearce said. Bendigo families are able to choose from a range of schools which are all capable of supporting students to achieve at high levels. Public schools take particular pride in being inclusive and responsive to individual and community needs. “at senior secondary school level an additional requirement is to be flexible enough to support students in a variety of pathways and at BSSc this is something we are able to do extraordinarily well,” Mr Pearce said. “our college provides a very safe, supportive learning environment which assists students in achieving placement at university, taFE or into employment or apprenticeship. “VcE results show that BSSc students can achieve outstanding results in an environment which prepares them well for future success and the challenges of higher education, training and employment.” the introduction of specialist programs at BSSc has added a further dimension to the curriculum with recent VcE results indicating higher than expected results. “i encourage talented and passionate students and their families to find out more about what these programs offer.” “Visitors to our recent open day heard me talk about the importance of considering all options and making a decision about enrolment and subject selections based on the best interests of students.” “if you are a Year 10 student or parent we would be pleased to talk with you about how we can best meet your needs.”

Education Week is a good time for families to reflect on the value of education and the important role that schools play in helping to nurture our children and help them along to the next stage of their lives. at Bendigo Senior Secondary college families play a key role not just by providing care, direction and support but by setting high expectations and challenging children to develop a sound work ethic and accept responsibility for their own actions. the responsibility of schools is to respond to the needs of communities and to work in partnership with families to ensure students

Student, Specialist Maths and Science program

Parent, Nurse, Masters Student

When I was considering different high schools I heard about BSSC’s Specialist Maths and Science program. I knew straight away it was for me.

I have been a nurse for the last 20 years and I am currently studying my Masters in Acute Care at La Trobe University.

Maths and science have always been the subjects I enjoy and excel at. The Specialist Program has given me access to mentors, guest speakers and exposure to university programs. BSSC encourages me to challenge my self-imposed boundaries and to be an independent young adult. I hope to study medicine at university and I chose BSSC to help prepare me for that. I know now that I made the right choice. Bendigo Senior Secondary College Rosalind Park, Bendigo PO Box 545, Bendigo VIC 3552

Anjaly has always been a passionate maths and science student. When the time came to choose a high school BSSC stood out. The subject variety was incredible and the Specialist Maths and Science program was a perfect fit. As a parent, I appreciate the strong connection that the college has with parents. The online portal “Compass” allows me to track Anjaly’s academic progress, and attendance online any time. I believe BSSC provides the right environment for Anjaly to achieve her goals.

KINDERGARTEN ENROLMENTS

SUPPORT: MPs Maree Edwards and Jacinta Allan.

are now open!

Do you have a child needing KINDERGARTEN in 2015?

Learning for the future Education week is a great opportunity to acknowledge and thank the hard working teachers in our primary and secondary schools. teachers are the cornerstone of education provision. What is taught in our schools is important in understanding our history, our environment, our communities, our culture and our society. School communities are also made up of fantastic parents, and extended family/carer volunteers who contribute to the success of their school through fund-raising and support of staff and students. Education is the most important thing we can provide for our children and for future generations. it is vital that governments support not just the education buildings that provide vibrant

learning environments for our students and teachers but also the support services they need to enable delivery of not just good but great education. Education isn’t just about numeracy and literacy it is also about giving our children the skills they need to be confident, contributing members of our communities, and opens up opportunities and gives them choices for their adult lives We have outstanding schools in Bendigo and across the region, they are made up of nurturing and caring families, wonderful educators and leaders. congratulations to all involved.

Central Enrolment Services are accepting KINDERGARTEN applications now. For further details please refer to our website www.lmpa.org.au or call the office on 5443 1229 Applications must be received before June 13 to be included in the first round of Kindergarten allocations.

There is a place in our schools for all who are Catholic or seek the values of Catholic education

A journey of education The 13-year journey in Catholic education continues to provide children and their families with an educational experience founded upon quality learning and teaching. Children are engaged in all dimensions of life skills: academic, faith, pastoral care and social justice providing for a well-rounded and comprehensive experience. The growth of Catholic Schools as a school of choice has been remarkable, and particularly in Bendigo, there is a place in our schools for all who are Catholic or seek the values of Catholic education. The incredible growth is a tangible endorsement of the strength of our system of schools and the high esteem in which they are held. Catholic schools provide for all families across all communities. Our schools support children and their families with a distinct ethos centred on the growth of the whole child. There is a diversity of Catholic schools in Bendigo that is evident in the variety of learning settings and teaching styles that cater for a variety of needs and individual learning styles. Inquiry learning and developmental play are significant philosophies across many of our schools; however, it is often the sense of community and care that stands Catholic education as a popular choice for families across the goldfields region. The consistent mission of our Catholic schools, and the willingness to grow and adapt to modern teaching and learning environments, provides children with an exciting and challenging educational setting, that supports them as they grow in all

aspects of the curriculum. With literacy and numeracy continuing to be a priority for all schools, Catholic schools take pride in the way children are prepared for the future as confident and competent students. The Catholic education week theme for 2014 is “Sharing the Story” as our schools aspire to: “engage fully with human potential inspired by the Catholic Story”. We celebrate the opportunity for all children to reach their potential and celebrate success in the supportive environment of a Catholic school. Catholic schools develop lifelong learners, aware of their place in the world and their responsibility for others and themselves. Our Catholic schools are welcoming communities.

Education Week message from Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell: For many of us, some of our fondest memories are of our early education.

Kindergarten is a time of discovery for children as they develop skills that will set them up for a lifetime of learning.

We know that 95 per cent of a child’s brain development happens in the years before they reach school, which is why a quality kindergarten program is so important.

Victoria leads the nation in early childhood programs, and Bendigo has the added bonus of being the first city in Australia to be recognised by UNICEF as a Child Friendly City. As both the Minister for Children and a local member, I have had the honour of seeing first hand the wonderful programs on offer in Bendigo – programs that set our youngest students on a path of discovery.

Instilling a love of learning is one of the most important gifts we can give a child, and there is no better time than Education Week to recognise and remember that.
